County will use $500,000-plus in grant money to combat opioid abuse By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs has added more than a half-million dollars to its pool PROGRAM of resources after it was awarded three grants. The collective $590,343 will primarily be used for the planning, implementation and operation of quick-response teams to fight opioid abuse countywide. The largest grant, $490,342, is from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, an arm of the U.S. Dept. of Justice. The other grants, $50,000 each, are from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction. The DMHA grants are intended for planning. The Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs has key players on board, including representatives from law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, fire departments, treatment centers, communications and 911 dispatch, data collection and agencies. Monica Greer, executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, said approximately 45 members from the agencies are involved with the new initiative. Efforts stemming from the DMHA grants will begin first in Noblesville. The federal grant will encompass the entire county. The quick-response teams will be introduced in Noblesville, Fishers and the county’s smaller communities like Sheridan, Atlanta, Arcadia and Cicero. Carmel and Westfield already have similar programs, and Greer said her council plans to build off of those. “(The DHMA grants) will give us time to develop and operate a small-scale run of what we’ll be doing, and (the federal grant) will give us the pieces we need to make this work countywide,” Greer said. “Probably within the next couple of months, we’ll start integrating those other communities.” Greer said quick-response teams will allow the county to provide resources at a level it hasn’t seen before. “Right now, we don’t have any follow-up for a person we interact with, so that’s the main change and addition,” Greer said. “With these grants, the target population is somebody who overdoses and is revived by Narcan (or naloxone, an opioid-overdose antidote) and survives. They go to the hospital, and once they’re released from the hospital, our coordinator will call them and say, ‘We’ve got this program, and we’d like to talk to you about it. Would you be willing to meet with our team?’ If we can’t get ahold of that person, we’ll just

BY THE NUMBERS

300+:

More than 300 doses of Narcan were administered by Hamilton County first responders in 2017. Numbers for 2018 are still being gathered.

36:

In 2017, there were 36 opioid poisoning deaths in Hamilton County. Experts say the number is likely higher because overdose deaths are often reported as the actual cause of death. For example, someone who overdoses can die of a heart attack or stroke, making it difficult to keep data on the real number of deaths.

3x:

Deaths from opioid overdoses in Hamilton County rose 300 percent in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 from the six years prior. From 2008 to 2013, there were less than five opioid-overdose deaths each year. In 2014, there were 18. There were 21 in 2015; 26 in 2016; and 36 in 2017.

do a home visit.” If the person who overdoses is arrested, treatment programs are offered through the jail or referred by the court system. Greer said her council’s teams and programs that are changing as a direct result of the grants are for those who have slipped through the cracks or were not arrested for drug crimes, which happens when there is no evidence of drugs or paraphernalia. “When our team meets with them, we’ll say, ‘Are you interested in treatment? What do you need to make that happen (insurance, transportation, etc.)?’” Greer said. “We’ll really get into all of their barriers to see what resources we can provide to help them get into treatment. That’s the ultimate goal.” Once the changes are in place, Greer said a quick-response team will visit homes within 48 to 72 hours after the incident to check on the individual and provide support. Quick-response team members also will canvas communities, going door-to-door to provide help. Each team is made up of a law enforcement official, a firefighter and a peerrecovery coach. “The recovery coach will be someone who is in recovery themselves,” Greer said. “So, we’re hoping they’ll be more effective in en-

52%:

Hamilton County saw an increase of approximately 52 percent in non-fatal emergency department visits due to opioid overdoses from 2011 to 2015.

Hamilton County 911 Dispatch received 500 opioid-overdose calls, with an average of 30 calls per month, in 2017.

1,146:

The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office filed 1,146 charges for controlled-substance possession and/or drug-dealing offenses in 2017.

28%:

Of the Hamilton County Probation Dept.’s 10,771 urine drug screens in 2017, 28 percent tested positive for opiates.

couraging patients to seek treatment.” The grants also will create a Community Opioid Prevention Effort coalition, whose members will compile information and provide community mapping for areas with a high frequency of opioid abuse. “The ultimate goal is to get people into treatment,” Greer said. “We’re not going to turn anyone away.”

Dillinger delivers State of the County By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com For three decades, Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger has delivered the State of the County address to COUNTY the local business community. Last month, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce again invited Dillinger to highlight accomplishments of 2018 and discuss 2019 projects to a record crowd of more than 400 people at Embassy Suites Conference Dillinger Center in Noblesville. Dillinger began by introducing new Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush and Superior Court 1 Judge Mike Casati. He also presented retired Judge Steve Nation with the Hamilton County Continental Award, the highest honor a citizen can receive from the county. He then addressed the topics of county finances, infrastructure, tourism and projects. MONEY Dillinger said the county is the richest in the state, with a $90,582 median household income. The state average is $52,182. The county also has a 5 percent poverty rate, compared to the state average of 14.6 percent. Moreover, the county’s median home value is $240,000, which is $110,000 higher than the state average. Dillinger also said the county has enjoyed a 12.2 percent growth rate in the past five years, which he attributes to a higher concentration of good-paying jobs, short commuting distances and connectivity to a major metropolitan area. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADS Dillinger spent much of his time talking about road projects around the county, primarily the Ind. 37 corridor project, which will convert the intersections to no-stoplight, dogbone-style roundabouts above the highway.

In addition to extra beds, the Hamilton County Jail expansion will add an interior recreation area, a classroom and a medical support area. (Submitted rendering)

Major work on intersections along Ind. 37 will begin in September and November, and first phases of work will be complete by winter. Another large road project is at 146th Street and Allisonville Road. “You can’t fix (Ind.) 37 at 146th Street without fixing Allisonville Road,” Dillinger said. “It’s a good intersection, but problem is we just have too much traffic with our growth. (With the fix), 146th Street will go under Allisonville Road.” Construction on the intersection will begin in September 2020 and will be completed in fall 2021 at a cost of $22.6 million. In Noblesville, Dillinger identified the extension and expansion of Pleasant Street as a major need. “This is a joint project between the City of Noblesville and Hamilton County,” Dillinger said. “It will cross over the river, where we will be building a bridge. The intersection of Pleasant and Eighth streets is hopefully where we will start on this. This is one of the most important projects that we’ll do.” Engineering is mostly complete, Dillinger said, and a study shows that with the completion of Phase 1, there will be a 29 percent reduction in traffic between Eighth Street and River Road. In downtown Noblesville, the county is

working with the city to widen the Logan Street bridge to create a pedestrian bridge. Construction began in October 2018 and will be complete in September at a cost of $4.3 million. In Carmel, Phase 1 of the Lowes Way connection project is ongoing. Construction began in March 2018 and is set to be complete in July at a cost of $9.1 million. The project’s second phase will start immediately thereafter and will be complete in July 2020 at a cost of $6.4 million TOURISM According to data from Hamilton County Tourism, Dillinger said visitors to the county and overall spending in the county is up. In 2018, more than 4 million visitors spent approximately $820 million – an 11.1 percent increase from the previous year. More than $1.5 million in hotel room nights were sold, and since 2005, nearly $10 million has been re-invested locally. CAPITAL PROJECTS The $13.5 million Hamilton County Jail expansion should be complete this month, Dillinger said. The project broke ground in September 2018 and adds 120 to 136 beds for an increase of inmates the county has seen since House Bill 1006 passed in 2016. The bill requires Level 6 felons to be incarcerated in the county in which their crime was committed, rather than be transferred to a larger prison. The jail’s current capacity is 294, and Dillinger said the inmate population is nearing 400. Dillinger said the long-awaited expansion of the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center is still on hold after bids came in higher than expected. He said the project will continue to be looked at. “Last year, there was a lot of talk about (this project), but just like in any business, we had to prioritize,” Dillinger said. “We followed its design and did some utility work, but it’s on hold in the mean time.”

Retired Judge Nation given county’s highest honor By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com During the Jan. 23 State of the County address, given by Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger, GOVERNMENT the Hamilton County Continental Award was presented to retired Judge Steve Nation. The award is the highest honor that can be bestowed on Hamilton County residents. “In the 60 years I have lived in Hamilton County, I don’t know of anyone more deserving of the county’s highest award more than my friend, Steve,” said Dillinger, president of the Hamilton County Commissioners. “His commitment to the service of this community is unprecedented.” In addition to presenting the Continental Award, the commissioners also christened a new county trail that runs from Noblesville through Cicero, Arcadia and Atlanta. It is called the Steve R. Nation Nature Trail. Nation was elected to the bench in 1995. Prior to that, he served as the Hamilton County prosecutor for four terms. Nation has always been involved in the community, from coaching youth football to chairing funding drives for the Hamilton County United Way to serving as a board member for the Hamilton County Red Cross and Noblesville Boys & Girls Club. Nation continues to be highly involved in the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Pro-

gram, which he helped create. The program is designed to help at-risk students stay in school and out of the juvenile justice system. Nation’s last day on the bench was Dec. 30, 2018. The Continental Award is given only after a unanimous vote of the three Hamilton County Commissioners. Recipients must demonstrate a commitment to service for at least a decade as well as “an attitude of teamwork, a generosity of spirit, and a desire to selflessly support and celebrate the people and communities of Hamilton County.”

Carlie Jensen is a 2010 graduate of Westfield High School. She was senior class president, a member of EDUCATION the varsity dance team and a member of the National Honor Society. She works in talent acquisition for Lids Sports Group, the 1,200-store retail chain headquartered in Zionsville. What was your favorite Jensen subject and why? I loved all of my high school business classes so much that I switched my goals of becoming a doctor to a leader in business. Classes such as marketing, retail merchandising and entrepreneurship were the catalysts that fueled my interests in pursuing a business-related career, specifically in corporate retail. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, creative drive and passion for leading others. Who has been your most influential teacher? Michelle Goudy and Becky Sondgeroth

both fostered my interests for business and leadership. They are remarkable teachers and know how to connect with students. What do you miss about high school? I miss cheering on the football team with friends, practicing with my dance team, being crowned homecoming queen, planning proms, bringing Mr. Westfield back and getting to address my class at graduation. Looking back, the friendships we made were so important, and I am even marrying a fellow 2010 Shamrock in April of this year. Can you tell me about your collegiate experience? I studied at Indiana University and majored in apparel merchandising and business. I was heavily involved in the IU Student Foundation, which puts on the famous Little 500. I was on the Women’s Philanthropy Committee with our university’s first lady and also competed in national retail competitions, ultimately winning three national scholarships. IU was the best college experience I ever could have asked for. It really propelled me and helped me grow. Why did you choose that major? Because I wanted to work in brand management for a renowned retailer. During my time at IU, I interned for Nordstrom,

Kohl’s and got my first full-time role postgraduation in Milwaukee, Wis., at Kohl’s headquarters. I later discovered that I love the people-side of the business. After moving back to Indiana, I started in HR at Lids Sports Group. What’s your dream job? My dream job would be leading talent acquisition and development for a large organization. I love building relationships and the challenge of finding the best people to work for my company. Great people are the foundation to any business, and I have the pleasure of finding them and developing them. Do you have any advice for younger students? The recruiter side of me wants to say keep your grades up. Everything you post on social media or text can be seen by universities or employers. Get involved and meet as many people as you can. Networking is everything. You don’t have to know exactly what you want to do for a living. It is good to have focus, but you can change your mind and that is OK. The personal side of me would undoubtedly say enjoy the ride. Don’t look so far into the future that you forget to enjoy the moment.

Athletic trainer Dee Mahoney to retire, reflects on time spent at Westfield High School By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For athletic trainer Dee Mahoney, the key to effectively treating an athlete’s ailment is trust. From working with USA Track & Field athletes in the 1990s COVER STORY to high school athletes at Westfield High School for the past 25 years, Mahoney has had a full and rewarding career. She plans to retire at the end of 2018-19 school year. “I knew in high school I wanted to be an athletic trainer. I’m a jock,” Mahoney said. “Sports are my life. I never saw myself wearing a suit and pumps. I always saw myself in comfortable clothes and helping others. I love sports. I wasn’t going to be a professional athlete, and athletic training was a door to be involved and help people, so it was a perfect profession for me.” Mahoney played NCAA Division I softball at Oregon State University. She graduated in 1985 and completed graduate work at the University of Miami (Fla.). She then began her career with USA Track & Field. Mahoney met her husband, Duffy, through working with USA Track & Field. When she returned from a work trip to Europe in 1992, she discovered that Hurricane Andrew seriously damaged her Miami home, which eventually paved her way to moving to Indiana. “I meet this great guy and then Hurricane Andrew put me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I moved into my office because I couldn’t live at home.” Mahoney and Duffy moved to Indiana and got married. Mahoney began working with Methodist Sports Medicine, where she worked as a researcher in the mornings and did outreach at schools in the evenings. She visited different schools each week to conduct injury checks and was a contracted athletic trainer at home games. But after a period of time, she decided she wanted to have a permanent working home. “If nobody knows who you are and this strange person comes up, do you think someone is going to tell you, ‘This hurts?’” she said. “There was never a relationship. I did that for a little bit over a year and I thought, ‘This is not how I roll,’ so I applied for some jobs.” Mahoney was hired at Riverview Hospital as the sports medicine coordinator. She encouraged the hospital to place an athletic trainer at every school it serviced. She placed herself at Westfield High School because the school’s mascot is a shamrock and she’s Irish. WHS also was the closest school to her house. That was in 1994, and she’s been there ever since. “The quality of care depends on the relationships you build with the student-athlete,” she said. “(Students) have to believe what you say. They have to believe, even though you may be sore, it’s OK to play. Our job is to try to get a kid back on the field or the court as soon and as safe as possible. We are going to do everything in our power to get you on the field safely, so whatever brace, tape, whatever I give you to prepare you for it, you can do this.” Mahoney is a parent. She said she never crafts treatment

plans or makes doctor referrals for students if it wouldn’t be the the same choice she would make for her own child in the same situation. WHS junior Eli Patchett plays varsity football and basketball. He said he and his teammates visit Mahoney often and trust her treatment methods. “For me, personally, I got banged up a lot this year. I had two sprained ankles, dislocated my thumb, and two days after that, I was playing,” Patchett said. “She’s like a miracle worker. It’s awesome. The average player comes in here three times a week to get stretched out or help with tweaks and stuff like that. It helps tremendously.” Mahoney and her husband plan to move to Ft. Collins, Colo. after she retires. WWS plans to hire another athletic trainer for the 2019-20 school year. Mahoney was recognized durning the Jan. 18 boys and girls home basketball doubleheader.

A HANDS-ON APPROACH

Dee Mahoney’s athletic training office at Westfield High School is full of tape, splints, foam rollers and other treatment items. Most of all, she said she does a lot of manual therapy to help students return to action. “I don’t even ice that much anymore. I use it for pain management, but (for treatment) I use massage and manual therapy tools and things. I use my hands,” she said. “I use my hands to release tissue and change tissue type to enhance healing and performance. Manual therapy is what I do the most, and I think it has reaped the most benefit.”

ESSAY Think about it

LETTER Our county can do much better

Commentary by Terry Anker “You better think. Think. Think about what you’re trying to do to me.” So powerful is the admonishment of the acclaimed “Queen of Soul,” Aretha Franklin, that the song’s lyrics can be sung by heart by a generation — or two or three. The catchy tune and expert delivery may have some sway in determining the track’s longevity. Still, the verse connects with us. Our idiom is filled with reference to thought, or lack thereof. We say “don’t think about it” rather than “you’re welcome.” We claim a “time to think” instead of demanding a break. We “think we know.” And, we “thought you understood.” We “sit and think.” And, “we think, therefore we are.” Suffice it to say, we think a lot. Even so, if we find ourselves incumbently reflective, why is it that we manage to be so thoughtless? Is it our lack of time just to think? Or is it that when we are busy that we just can’t think straight? Perhaps. Modern life allows for little reflection. The traffic, news cycles and abundant attractive distractions all contribute to our hopelessly short attention spans. The very fact that one takes the time to read this local newspaper indicates a “thinking” superiority. Yet, if Ms. Franklin’s point is to be made, how can we navigate our world, let alone relationships with others, absent a bit of thinking? Is it like all-too-many efforts wherein we talk much more about them than actually undertake the doing of them? If thinking matters, what is on our “thinking” list? When do we make time to address it? What is the objective, if any, of our deep reflection? Have we studied how to improve as thinkers – or do we simply expect to improve with time? Hmm. I guess we’d better think. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

My silver screen moment Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my dream of becoming an actress finally came true! Sure, it was a cameo, and yes, it was in a student HUMOR film that will be less than five minutes. And OK, fine, I play a teacher, but the point is, I have fulfilled a lifelong goal. There is hope for everyone! Now, back to me and my award-winning performance. I’m pretty sure I was amazing. I haven’t seen the final cut yet, but by all accounts, especially my own, I nailed it. Even better, the entire experience went exactly the way I’d hoped. I was able to talk to the teenage director/writer/producer/editor/ camera man about my “motivation,” shout “line?” at absolutely no one, and incorporate a slight Southern accent and a not-so-slight eyebrow raise in a menacing fashion. Of course, like any 40-something ingénue, I goofed my scene twice and once accidentally turned my mic off, but those mishaps

simply made my time on set that much sweeter. Can y’all say “blooper reel?” In all seriousness, I have wanted to be in a play or a movie for as long as I can remember. My four sisters and I grew up putting on Christmas skits and re-enacting scenes from classics, including “Mommie Dearest” and “Silence of the Lambs.” And I came close in seventh grade when I was cast as the understudy for the main character’s mom in our school’s religious musical. So, to actually have the chance to be in a real-life film, albeit a student short, is literally a dream come true. Don’t give up on yours. There is always time. See you on the red carpet! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.” -Anne Frank

Editor, Much has been said and written recently regarding the dogs left in the frigid and dangerous cold in Arcadia. Current Indiana code does not question the bad decision of this owner. Therefore, Hamilton County law enforcement must adhere to the current law and ordinances. I understand that – to a point. So, where do we go from here? I believe, as many others believe, that it is time for Hamilton County to review and upgrade law enforcement mandates regarding the humane care of both pets and livestock in our county. It is amazing to me that Marion County has stricter humane ordinances than our county. I am not surprised that the state has taken a lax stance on these issues, but our county can do much better, in my opinion. In recent conversation with a Hamilton County elected official, I feel hopeful that there is a strong relationship between county officials and the Humane Society for Hamilton County, and I look forward to real changes for those who cannot speak for themselves. As President Abraham Lincoln advised us, “I care not for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” Sharon McMahon, Noblesville

A developing weighty matter Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife casually mentioned to me the other night that my chest needed a little development (while I suppose HUMOR your better half is permitted to assess your upper half, I’d suggest not responding in kind). I read in Prevention Magazine that when you reach age 45, you begin losing 1 percent of your bone density and muscle mass every year. Old photos of me from high school show there was very little mass to start with, although some did roll in across my midsection in the early ’80s. Density? I asked Mary Ellen, but she claimed I’m as dense as I’ve ever been — and she’s not one to just toss out compliments. I was embarrassed into starting a moderate bodybuilding regimen. I do it at home while watching cable news in the evening. Why didn’t I think of this 15 years ago? I still wouldn’t like Sean Hannity, but at least I’d be buff enough to throw pillows at the TV from my recliner. There are two techniques I don’t perform: abductions and snatches. I don’t need any more legal trouble after getting caught walking out of Dick’s Sporting Goods with

a set of free weights. Hey, that’s what the sign said. Thursday, I ‘’bed-pressed’’ a hefty amount: 18,000 grams. I took one really heavy dumbbell and managed to hoist it over my head. When I put it down, the cat scooped it up in his mouth and hid it under the couch. Mary Ellen says my resolution to lift things is a good sign. She’s hoping it will carry over to lifting a finger around the house. Or picking up the check when her brother and sister-in-law come to visit. As for me, this has all helped lift my spirits. A few days ago, one of my macho neighbors helped me lug a new barbell set into our house. My hope was that after a few months working out with some of the lighter weights, I would one day be able to lift the behemoth weights all by myself. Mary Ellen thought the equipment looked ugly in our bedroom, so she took it down to the basement.

Heart health through the ages Submitted column by IU Health Heart disease is one of the nation’s top killers. Unfortunately, you can’t change your family health DISEASE PREVENTION history, gender or ethnicity, but researchers are discovering plenty of things you can do to lower your risk of developing heart disease. Dr. Vijayasree K. Paleru, cardiologist at IU Health Saxony HospiPaleru tal, offers advice for keeping your heart healthy for years to come. “Eating well and staying physically active are crucial to keeping a healthy heart,” Paleru said. “It’s never too early to begin living a healthy lifestyle, but there’s more you can do than diet and exercise.” Health experts calculate your heart age by tallying up your risk factors for heart attack, stroke and similar health problems. The resulting number expresses how many years of strain you’ve added to your cardiovascular system with habits such as smoking, eating unhealthy foods and being inac-

tive. Heart attacks often can be blamed on factors that increase heart age, but it’s not too late to turn back the clock. To keep your heart humming, Paleru recommends: • Giving up cigarettes, if you smoke • Keeping blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes under control • Maintaining a healthy weight • Eating a healthy diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables • Being physically active • Reducing your stress • Limiting alcohol consumption “Heart health matters at every age,” she said. “A poor diet and lack of exercise can cause plaque to form in arteries as early as adolescence, paving the way for a possible heart attack in a few decades.” Prioritize heart health for your children at a young age by teaching them to live a healthy lifestyle. You can do this by limiting sweetened drinks, such as fruit juice or soft drinks that contain high amounts of sugar, buying older kids an activity tracker to motivate them to stay moving and planning time for the whole family to exercise together, such as a bike ride, playing tag or taking a walk.

DISPATCHES Volunteers sought — Riverview Health is looking for volunteers to join its team at its Westfield Hospital location.

If you’re interested in volunteering at Riverview Health Westfield Hospital, contact the manager of Volunteer Services, Melinda Nash, at 317-776-7236 or visit mnash@riverview.org. Dangers of juicing — Making your own juice from fresh fruits and veggies can be a healthy choice for many people. There is a risk, however, of getting an overdose

of sugar. Removing the juice (and sugar) from the fiber of the fruit makes the sugar content more concentrated. A good rule of thumb is to use a rotating variety of greens as the base of your juice with only one serving of fruit.

Julian Bliss Septet to perform tribute to jazz legend Benny Goodman

editorial@youarecurrent.com For nearly 50 years, the Indiana Repertory Theatre has welcomed nearly 5 million people through its doors to entertain, educate and enlighten. On Feb. 11, the IRT announced the public phase of its capital campaign, Front and Center, to ensure that these community offerings continue for generations. The campaign, chaired by community leaders Gene Tempel and Sarah and John Lechleiter, has already received $17 million in commitments toward the $18.5 million goal. Money raised through the campaign will support the immediate needs of the IRT, while also supporting projects for the theater’s long-term sustainability and growth in Indianapolis, according an IRT news release. For the full story, visit currentnightandday.com.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com British clarinetist Julian Bliss was trained in classical music and never envisioned being part of a jazz CONCERT septet. “Since I was never taught jazz, I thought it was so far removed from classical stuff, so I didn’t consider it as a possibility as a kid growing up,” Bliss said. “It wasn’t until I was putting together an idea for a CD that I thought this is possible, and why can’t I play jazz and classical alongside each other? There is no reason why not, so that’s when I decided to start the band,” The Julian Bliss Septet will perform “A Tribute to Benny Goodman” at 8 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Palladium in Carmel. Goodman, known as the “King of Swing,” was a clarinetist and band leader. “The band was established in 2010, and the first project we did was a tribute to Benny Goodman,” Bliss said. “For a clarinetist, it was quite a natural way to start, but no means an easy place. We toured extensively in the UK and all over Europe. The last four years we’ve been coming to the USA and playing at a variety of places. We have a secondary show now based on Gershwin, but the Benny Goodman show is one we’ve done quite a number of times.” A jazz septet is a formation of seven musicians. Bliss said the tribute constantly evolves. “We’re adding and changing things,” Bliss said. “With jazz, no two performances are the same. Even though we have done it for a number of years, it always takes on a new identity in every single performance we do.” Bliss plays a variety of tunes from the era. “We do some arrangements from the big band era, which are quite exciting,” Bliss said. “The arrangements were very diverse with the type of groups Benny Goodman had. It’s through the arrangements that we can try to tackle some of the big band num-

bers and some of the small band numbers.” Bliss said when he put the band together, he realized he had to include a vibraphone. “First of all, it’s an amazing instrument,” Bliss said. “When it’s played to a high standard, it’s quite a spectacle. It’s a very unique sound and bells with the clarinet quite well. Back in Benny Goodman’s day, he played a lot with Lionel Hampton, and it created a very unique sound. The other benefit of the vibes is it can play chords and provide harmony and a lot of structure, especially when you are creating the big-band sounds, so a vibraphone alongside a piano, you can have quite a lot of voices. It offers a nice contrast with

the clarinet, so that’s the idea behind the instrumentation.” Bliss said when he performs classical music, he performs with an orchestra. “I make sure every concert I have the same people because we all get along very well,” Bliss said. “It’s quite a collaborative effort. We’re all in it together, so it’s important to have the same people.” Bliss started playing the clarinet at age 4. A child prodigy who studied at Indiana University at age 12, he works with ConnSelmer, a musical instruments manufacturer based in Elkhart. “I spend a decent amount of time in Indiana these days,” Bliss said.

LouVino

Commentary by Anna Skinner

LouVino’s Stuffed French Toast is a stack of vanilla mascarpone-stuffed French toast, topped with jam, whipped cream and a side of bourbon maple syrup. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Address: 8626 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Stuffed French Toast Price: $8 Anna’s take: This beautiful behemoth of a French toast dish was only $8, so you better believe I ordered it. A delicious brunch on a budget? Count me in. I typically don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but LouVino’s Stuffed French Toast called my name. The tower is stuffed with vanilla mascarpone. With a deliciously tart jam dripping down the sides, it was a fantastic and filling breakfast. The dish is served with a side of bourbon maple syrup (yum) and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Powdered sugar coats the plate. I also ordered bacon, which you can add on for

$2. I’m a crispy bacon kind of girl, and LouVino didn’t disappoint. The thing I like the most about LouVino is, you can receive phenomenal service and experience decadent brunch food minus the markup price of restaurants with similar ambience. Suggested pairings: There’s really no better option for a brunch beverage than the classic mimosa, and LouVino sells them for $2 during brunch, which is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. If you’re not a mimosa fan, LouVino is known for its bourbon cocktails. I’m not sure if I would suggest that for brunch, but to each their own. Cheers.

Behind bars: Raspberry Bourbon Smash Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Buffalo Trace bourbon, .5 oz. raspberry syrup, 2 raspberries, splash of lemon juice, soda water Directions: Build first four ingredients in a shaker and shake, then strain over ice in a Collins glass. Top with soda water.

Valley of the Queens, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting The Valley of the Queens

STK# T17049

Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans have probably heard of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Less well known is a nearby valley that contained the tomb of one of ancient Egypt’s most TRAVEL celebrated women. In about 1600 B.C., Egyptians began burying their pharaohs, along with the pharaoh’s wives and children, in concealed tombs cut deep into the limestone in a secluded valley on the west bank of the Nile near what is today Luxor. In about 1300 B.C., with the coming of the powerful pharaohs of the 19th dynasty, new tombs in this Valley of the Kings were restricted to men. A similar valley a few miles to the south, which the Egyptians called Ta-SetNeferu (The Place of Beauty), was chosen for the tombs of royal women, probably starting with a wife of Ramses I, the 19th dynasty’s founder. Since the early 20th century, archaeologists have uncovered more than 90 tombs in what is now popularly called the Valley of the Queens. The most exquisitely

decorated tomb belonged to Nefertari, the favorite wife of Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for 66 years and is often associated with the biblical Exodus. When Nefertari’s tomb was discovered in 1904, its contents, including the sarcophagus, had been stolen long before, but the colorfully painted reliefs on the walls and ceilings remained remarkably STK# T18024 intact and vibrant, leading some to compare it to the Sistine Chapel. One set of reliefs in the queen’s burial chamber illustrates teachings from the Book of the Dead, inSTK# T18024 cluding the formula the queen was required to recite to gain access to the afterlife, a kind of prompt if she forgot the words. Other reliefs include a short love poem from Ramses. In 2016, two dismembered and mummified legs found in the tomb were identified as those of Nefertari. What happened to the rest of her remains a mystery. STK# T17028 Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.
