Ivy Tech Stage is Set for Belfry’s Whodunit
Before and after the show, a gun is locked in a weapons safe. There is only one actor who touches the gun during the show. And as a precaution, the actor’s finger is never on the trigger until it is ready to be fired. Blanks are used, and the gun is never fired directly at…
Read MoreNew Exhibits at the ‘Virtual Museum’
We’ve got some new exhibits at the From Time To Thyme Virtual Museum! (Remember — this is a “virtual museum” because it’s unclear if any of the objects in it still exist, or if they do still exist, where they might be today.) Our first “relic” (that’s what they were commonly called back in the…
Read MoreBob Anderson Had a Passion for Serving, Helping Others
I remember interviewing Bob Anderson, at age 90, for one of The Times’ Faces of Hamilton County. He smiles a lot, so he was a good candidate for the Times’ daily feature. The Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis Club founder for most of his years in Sunrisers was always helping his club, especially serving pancake breakfasts. I…

“I don’t remember you at all!” the portly man informed my husband, Peter. Peter smiled, introduced himself, and reminded the gentleman where they might have met half a century ago. The man shook his head. “Nope!” This was the first high school class reunion I had ever attended, and it was filled with moments like…

One of my enduring pleasures is sports. Perhaps that’s because I had the privilege of playing football when I was in college. Who can’t look back on the first time that a 300-pound man jumped on his back while questioning his parentage, and remember so without affection? I especially enjoy reading about my favorite teams.…
