It’s All About Dad at Father’s Day Car Show
When I think of Central Indiana Vintage Vehicles’ Father’s Day Car Show, I think of Dave Shank and Larry Grabb. As long as the car club has been having car shows, they’ve been involved. But it’s not just about them, it’s about all of the people who make this show a success at Forest Park…
Read MoreThe Death of Benjamin Fisher
The only deadly encounter on record between Native Americans and Hamilton County’s white settlers took place a little over 200 years ago in Strawtown. What sparked it wasn’t a conflict over land, however, but rather justified outrage over a murderer going unpunished. Unfortunately, the exact details of the incident were already growing murky over 100…
Read MoreMusic Returns in Summer StringTime on the Square
Grab your lawn chairs and blankets and get ready to tap your toes for the return of the Legacy Keepers Music StringTime on the Square summer music series. The concert series debuted in July 2017 in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Legacy Keepers Music, an educational charity that Noblesville’s Janet Gilray started in 2007…
Read MoreHeat Illness
Since our temperatures are predicted to be near 100 early this week, it’s time to start thinking about the dog days of summer. Although I don’t see a significant number of heat-related emergencies in my office, many patients suffering from heat illness will start filling the beds in emergency departments. Heat illness accounts for tens…
Read More2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, EQS Redefine ‘S-Class’
For me, the Mercedes-Benz S-class will always be defined by the 560SEL, a car from the late ‘80s that still commands respect from valet stands and left lanes of the world’s superhighways. The big sedan defies its age and is a joy to drive, but today’s luxury buyers – especially in America – prefer large…

I have been trying, for as long as I can remember and with limited success, to learn Spanish. My husband, Peter, says I am good, but that is because he does not speak Spanish, so if I say anything that is understood by anyone, he regards it as a minor miracle. I feel that I…
Read MoreRecliners Go Back A Long Way
Two weekends ago, I was over at my brother Ben’s house dog sitting. Sophie is part French Bulldog, part Tasmanian Devil. Teddy is the most laid back long-haired Dachshund you’ll ever meet. If not for Sophie’s constant running and general chaos, Teddy would gladly just sit still in the corner and do his dust-mop impression.…
Read MoreTheater Director Helps Youth Have Fun in CCP Summer Play
Knowing how difficult rejection can be as an actor, Tanya Haas doesn’t want that rejection to discourage a young person just starting out exploring being on stage. That’s why she only directs shows that are “no-cut.” The policy allows students who might never get to be on stage otherwise to participate in shows, she said.…

Read MoreHow to Read a Redhead!
My wife is a redhead. We went to New York last month and several strangers commented about how thick and beautiful her hair is. Sometimes when I ask Mary Ellen what she is planning for the next morning, she’ll say, “Washing my hair.” Then I say, “Okay, how about tomorrow afternoon?” And she says, “Drying…
