Council considers audit committee By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council is proposing that an Audit Committee be formed to oversee city audits, taking away some City news responsibilities that were previously held by the ClerkTreasurer’s Office. Under the proposal, the clerk-treasurer could not be appointed to the committee, but the city council president would be an automatic member. Clerk-Treasurer Christine Carter Pauley and City Council President Ron Carter recently exchanged critical words of one another regarding the process of an ongoing city audit with which Pauley was involved. Carter questioned Pauley’s qualifications for her position, Pauley and Pauley said she was being unfairly targeted by others. Under the proposal, the City of Carmel would appoint an audit committee with five members: • President of the Carmel City Council. Councilor Sue Finkam was selected as president for 2017. • A full-time city employee appointed by the
mayor who is not the city’s fiscal officer for a one-year term. • A resident appointed by the council who is a certified public accountant for a three-year term. • A resident appointed by the council with a background in finance for a three-year term. • A resident appointed by the mayor who is a CPA or has a background in finance who is not the city’s fiscal officer for a three-year term. Carter said the ordinance is in response to the “sloppy job” that the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office did on a recent response to an audit, and in his view it strips the office of most of its powers in handling them. Pauley said she doesn’t see the ordinance that way. Rather, she believes her office will retain its responsibilities regarding audits, but the new regulation would provide an extra set of eyes and ears for transparency and oversight. In a separate proposed ordinance, the council would change its rules of order to decrease the clerk-treasurer’s participation in bi-monthly city council meetings. Under the “Order of Business” section, the amendment removes designated time for the clerk-treasurer to make comments at each meeting but leaves time for the mayor and city council. The ordinance would also allow the city council president to “determine who can sit on the dais during any council meeting,” which currently includes the clerk-treasurer.

Donny Woodcock is only 15 years old, but he’s already had years of experience assisting the Carmel Police public safety Dept. He not only participates in the Carmel Police Explorer Post 382 program, but he’s also helped CPD through his service with the Boy Scouts. For his Eagle Scout project, Woodcock built a bench at the police station. He also donated his time to complete extra landscaping around the entrance area. Woodcock said he has worked with CPD on many projects as a Carmel Police Explorer, and he knew the bench would be placed in a useful location for police officers entering and exiting the police station. “It’s just like I was working with close friends,” Woodcock said. In the future, he said he plans to join CPD and his interest in pursuing a career in law enforcement began after he joined the Carmel Police Teen Academy program. Woodcock also recently became squad leader in the Explorers program. “He’s very dedicated, very motivated,” said officer Shane VanNatter, advisor to the Explor-

ers. “He selflessly gives his own time.” CPD offers the Police Explorers program in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America for youth between the ages of 14 and 20. Participants complete an eight-month academy training program and experience various aspects of police work while learning life skills and connecting with members of the CPD. Upon completion of the academy phase of the program, the recruit is given a uniform and is allowed to ride along and observe with a Carmel police officer. VanNatter said the CPD has four or five police officers on staff who previously participated in the Explorers program.

CHS students expand podcast By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com What started as a simple conversation between two friends has grown into a podcast by two Carmel High School media seniors – Live from Spruce Drive. And its creators are looking to expand their reach. “It turned out a few of our friends enjoyed listening to us,” CHS senior J.D. Arland said. That was last fall. Arland and classmate Shiva Vallabhaneni now have released approximately 10 shows, each 30 minutes long, focused on a mix of news and sports. They’re available on SoundCloud, iTunes and Google Play Music. “In a market of young-adult listeners, purely news stories or purely sports stories are not interesting in a 30-minute show,” Arland said. “We wanted to provide enjoyable commentary for all listeners.” Topics have ranged from celebrity news to the 2016 presidential election to local high school sports and professional leagues. “One of our episodes entitled ‘Confusing Exotic Matter’ was my favorite to record just because of the interesting mix of segments we had,” Arland said. “But to be honest with you, every week’s show is my new favorite. I think our quality has gotten better each time.” The podcast is recorded at Arland’s home on Spruce Drive or at the Carmel Clay Public Library. Now, the duo is looking for sponsors to

We have three levels, bronze, silver and gold, all with corresponding rewards like behindthe-scenes content or airtime.” Arland and Vallabhaneni said they plan to continue the podcast after graduation this spring. Arland will attend Butler University with a double major in sports media and strategic communication, while his podcasting partner, who hasn’t decided on a school, plans on studying aeronautical engineering.

CHS senior goes to national meet By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Christina Geisler, a Carmel High School senior, recently competed in the 38th annual Foot Locker Cross cross country Country Championship National Finals at Balboa Park in San Diego. Geisler was one of 40 high school girls to advance to the finals and compete in the prestigious event. She was the only competitor from Indiana. Geisler took up running in eighth grade following a gymnastics-related injury. She began training for the event in June 2016. Competing as an individual, Geisler said she missed her Carmel High School cross country teammates and realized how much she relies on them. “My team has been there with me every step of the way,” Geisler said. “You go and do all of the things and (you realize) how much you miss them and need them.” Geisler said the hardest part of the race was a downhill section called the Dog Park. She said the ground was comprised of loose dirt and sand and she had difficulty gaining her footing.

Friend remembers Reynolds as ‘down to earth’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Debbie Reynolds’ Hollywood image was built as the girl next door. Although Reynolds in memoriam was a huge star, Actors Theatre of Indiana cofounder and Carmel resident Judy Fitzgerald said that down-to-earth image was accurate. “She was a very warm person,” said Fitzgerald, who spent a year on a musical tour around the U.S. with Reynolds. “She was a superstar, but I never felt intimidated. I just felt like she was my friend right away.” Reynolds died at age 84 on Dec. 28, one day after her daughter, actress Carrie Fisher, died. Fisher died four days after suffering a heart attack on a plane flight from London to Los Angeles. “It was heartbreaking,” Fitzgerald said of the news. “What a loss. My breath left my body.” In the early 1990s, Fitzgerald traveled with Reynolds on the American Movie Classics tour, as the cable network AMC was originally known. “I absolutely adored her,” Fitzgerald said. “She was so much fun and so funny. She had such a quick wit. She was a real spitfire.”

performing with the star at various venues. “After the show she would say, ‘C’mon kids, let’s all have a drink,’” Fitzgerald said. “She was hilarious. She would say, ‘The producers won’t mind.

Ukrainian volunteer shares stories of life in conflict area, seeks support in Carmel
By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Olena Rozvadovska is not unique in her calling to work with children. How she’s doing it – well, that’s another story. The 32-year-old Ukranian willingly left cover story her stable job as a UNICEF consultant and public advocate for children’s rights for the Ukraine President’s Office to reach out to children and families living across the country on the front lines of an unpredictable conflict zone. And for the most part, she’s doing it all alone as an unaffiliated and unpaid volunteer. “I’m worried about my future,” Rozvadovska said during a presentation in Carmel Dec. 20. “If we will not save our children now, what future will we have?” Rozvadovska spoke about the conflict during a special event at Swan Software Solutions, a Carmel-based business owned by Ukraine native Alex Morozov. The IT services company has several offices in Ukraine, including one near the conflict zone. Attendees included several people who had done mission work in Ukraine, two who are planning to go there with the Peace Corps and others who were born and raised there. “To go in that area and find people who are actually proUkranian, it’s tremendously dangerous,” said Zhanna Albany, a Carmel resident and doctor originally from Ukraine. “(Rozvadovska) is very modest, and she’s not explaining to the detail how it is, but it’s incredible.”
The ‘gray zone’
Ukraine has been engaged in a military conflict with proRussian separatists in its eastern territory for more than two years. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights estimates nearly 10,000 related deaths in the conflict area, including dozens of children. Additional deaths are believed to have resulted from secondary causes, including lack of food, water or medicine. Thousands more area residents have suffered injuries. Rozvadovska’s mission is to reach children living in what she calls the “gray zone,” the territory designated as a buffer between the two sides. She is unaffiliated with any official organization or religious group, although she often partners with them. She grew up in western Ukraine, and her strongest ties to the area are those she’s built on the ground in the last two years. She works to build trust with children growing up among violence and uncertainty. Many have watched parents or other
family members die as a result of the conflict. Although it may seem like a place families would be eager to flee, she said that’s not always the case. “It’s really hard to talk to the people, because they (have) already lived in the war conflict almost three years, so (they’re) used to hearing all these shellings overnight,” she said. “It’s like part of their life now.” The war zone may have become familiar, but it’s not safe. Rozvadovska said part of her mission is to teach young children how to spot and avoid landmines on their way to and from school. “We conduct this mine risk education even for kids who are 3 years old, and they know all about grenades,” Rozvadovska said. “It’s not news.” Rozvadovska said overcoming her fear of “being in constant danger” is among the many challenges of her work, and she often struggles to find ways to connect with parents who have “lost the fear of death and refuse to move.” But the great risk is worth it, she said. “(It’s rewarding) when I have direct contact with children and I know how drastically I have changed their lives, from complete hopelessness and sometimes death to hope and life,” she said. After returning to eastern Ukraine, Rozvadovska is planning to help launch a counseling center to serve more than 1,000 children per year. She also plans to create her own nonprofit organization and enhance her educational programs for children and their parents as she continues raising awareness in Ukraine and internationally.
Carmel connections
Rozvadovska’s visit to Carmel was arranged by Natasha Mazur, the director of generosity at Helmer Scientific in Noblesville. Rozvadovska’s uncle, a business owner and philanthropist in Ukraine, connected the two women, as he had previously worked with Mazur to conduct training in strategic planning and nonprofit fundraising. Mazur, who also is a native of Ukraine, hopes to use her experience to help Rozvadovska frame a long-term vision and build partnerships with interested stakeholders, including those in Carmel. When she heard that Rozvadovska would be in the U.S. for the Women Leaders: Promoting Peace and Security program, she arranged to have her visit the Indianapolis area to share her story. “I realized it would be a good opportunity to connect her to

the strong and vibrant Ukrainian support network in central Indiana,” Mazur said. “It was imperative for Olena to report, based on her experience, the unreported and often heartbreaking circumstances in the eastern Ukraine ‘gray zone’ to Hoosiers in central Indiana who continue to provide their heart-felt support for Ukraine’s most vulnerable citizens.” Rozvadovska said she was surprised about the lack of information in the U.S. about the Ukranian conflict, but she found strength in the outpouring of support she received in Carmel. “I was so impressed to meet very open and kind people, both Ukrainian-American and American, who were genuinely interested but more so wanted to help any way possible,” she said. “I was greatly encouraged and motivated to keep going on and doing what I do just because I received such a huge support from the Carmel group.”
How to help Although the Ukranian battle is halfway around the world, Natasha Mazur said there are several ways Carmel residents can help or show support for families living in the “gray zone.” “The least we can do is share Olena’s story and be ambassadors for the children she serves,” Mazur said. “We can stand behind Olena and empower her by sharing our skills, resources, influence and connections. She is looking for advisors and influencers who will promote and help grow her vision and organization.” Carmel residents can help by: • Sharing best practices and ideas on implementation of innovative educational and mentoring programs that can meet the needs of children in the conflict zone • Providing support with capital repairs and emergency projects • Spread the word about the challenges of life in the “gray zone” • Volunteering in the short- or long-term in the conflict zone Mazur has organized an initiative called Empower Ukraine to provide a transparent and effective way for interested Hoosiers to support children and families in the conflict area.

A lesson in ‘weird’ On the whole, we have it pretty darned good in our community. Compare our environs to, say, Portland, Ore., which one of us visited for a family wedding during New Year’s weekend, and there is, well, no comparison. Portland seems to thrive on being, uh, different. That’s all well and good, but when one sees “Keep Portland Weird” plastered everywhere in the Rose City, it creates an opportunity for pause. Portland is doing just swell in that regard. From municipal values to social tenets, we certainly weren’t in “Kansas” anymore. Next time you think about complaining about road construction here, consider that the gem of Oregon seems to want you to, for starters, prefer dodging potholes and not notice bridge abutments crumbling. The recycling protocol there is off the hook, and we are all for recycling … if the matter truly ends up being recycled. Trying to figure out where to put what is more difficult than solving a Rubik’s Cube. Socially, the fine folks out there could learn a thing or three from Hoosier hospitality. On a walk through the Pearl District, one in our party said, half jokingly, “Are we just going to walk through Portland all day?” That prompted a local to comment: “Get out of my city.” Your intrepid writer here took up the cause and told the gent that he should thank his lucky stars for our tourism dollars (among other perhaps less-pleasant suggestions). There are great eateries and quirky, fun shops, though, and lots of gray skies this time of year. It was just, as they tout, weird, and it’s good to be back home and in our element.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Never awesome-less Commentary by Terry Anker The cold, gray winter days are laid out ahead of us. Snow, frost and bluster are on the agenda. But like all things, this will pass. Soon, the chill will give way to warmer evenings and emerging flora. As life seems to pass more quickly with each new year, the winters are fleeting. We’ve barely found a matching pair of gloves when it is time to return them to storage for balmy summer days. Even if we know that a better day will come, we can, at times, roil in the discomfort of the day’s unpleasantness. Perhaps this kind of short-sighted critique is uniquely human. We endure failings and peccadillos in our own lives and then imagine that they have set in as permanent fixtures rather than brief moments. We eat or spend a bit too much during the holiday break and then proclaim that we “always do that!” We indulge in a round of self-loathing, claiming that we are deeply and permanently flawed
and incapable of restraint. There are times when we are less than awesome, no doubt. However, there is never a time when we are completely and entirely awesome-less. We all struggle with it at times – a lagging confidence or belief in our own contributory worth to those around us. Some days it is difficult to understand how we add value. It took the angel Clarence to prove to George Bailey that his despair was only temporary and, indeed, that he had a wonderful life. Wouldn’t it be a better and more productive use of our energy to plan a road to improvement rather than claim a constant excuse? As easily as we make wrong choices, cannot we make right ones? If we hold out for the rain to end, surely the sun will shine. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
– Ronald Reagan
One of my favorite movies is “Silence of the Lambs.” If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you stop reading immehumor diately and get to the nearest pirated-movie website. I want you to fully appreciate my masterful references and make the vow never to help strange men move furniture into unmarked vans. Now, watch me work this 1991-thriller into an entire column on working-mom guilt! When I stayed at home with kids, wallowing in the minutia of diapers, potty-training, cut-up hot dogs, sippy cups, lost pacifiers, training wheels, naps, Playhouse Disney and the god-awful bedtime routine, I never thought twice about enjoying moments by myself. If I somehow stumbled upon a child-free hour or, miracle of all miracles, an overnight, I relished completely forgetting about my parental responsibilities, usually with a nice Chianti. In other words, once they were out of my sight, I no longer heard the lambs crying. But ever since going back to work, quality time away from my children is frequented by anxiety and overwhelming mom-guilt. Take this past week. I spent two days in Kentucky, no kids, no husband, but I constantly worried about who would take Corinne lunch during guard practice, get Andrew to tae kwon do and feed Maddie. It’s like the trauma of being sent to live with my uncle on the sheep farm who won’t let me live my life. Or, more befitting me personally, the constant “on-call” feeling of parenting refuses to dissipate, even when I’m technically not on duty. To alleviate the worry, I usually put the family under full SWAT-team surveillance in my absence, but then the guilt sets in. I hear my precious starlings cry: “Why aren’t you spending time with us, mom?” “Why aren’t you here taking us bowling?” “Why aren’t you teaching us to make clothes out of human skin?” Enough! I just want those little “baahs” to be silent! But perhaps no mother ever experiences a true silence of her lambs. All we can do is continue to rub the balance lotion on our stressed-out skins (zinger!). Peace out.

Inspiration, Part II Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Part II about all the things that sparked ideas for my columns in 2016. THANKS to Costco for offerhumor ing a plump, perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken for five bucks. While in the store to purchase one for dinner, I picked up a new iPad, some printer ink and two cases of imported beer. “How can they afford to sell an entire cooked chicken for only $4.95?” I asked the lady at the check-out. “Got me,” she said. “Your total is $352. Enjoy your dinner.” NO THANKS to my 100-bucks-an-hour tech nerd, Kevin, who has on more than one occasion simply put the cord back in the outlet. I was frustrated recently because the power button wouldn’t turn off the computer, so I told Kevin on the phone I was just going to yank out the plug. “Good,” he said. “I can use the money.” THANKS to the investigators who went back in the scientific literature to determine the real benefits of exercise. In 1906, scientists divided people into two groups to compare their relative health. Half the people exercised daily. They are all dead now. So, there you go.
THANKS to Whole Foods, where I bought a bar of organic green soap wrapped in clear shrink wrap. When I got out of the shower the next morning, I told my wife I didn’t think it lathered very well. “Is it because it’s organic?” I asked Mary Ellen. “No, it’s because you just washed yourself with a wedge of cheese.” THANKS to archeologists for uncovering the world’s first musical instrument. It looked like a kazoo and was found next to a 500,000-year-old skeleton. His body was isolated many miles from the rest of his tribe. Scientists are not sure why this man was left alone to die. I have a pretty good idea. NO THANKS to my wife for visiting her friend in Florida without teaching me how to use all the remotes. We have one for Apple TV, one for the DVR, one for the Blu-ray and one for regular TV. “Could you change the channels?” Mary Ellen asked when she called. “No, but I opened and closed the garage door 11 times.”

Drink lots of water to flush bacteria from the intestinal tract. 3. Eat yogurt. The good bacteria can improve the overall health of the digestive system. 4. Drink cranberry juice. Be sure to drink real juice, not the flavored cranberry cocktail. Source: BottomLinePublications.com. Smell a grapefruit — Breathing in certain aromas can help reduce stress. In a study at James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, researchers tested the effect of pleasantsmelling essential oils by diffusing them in the central nurses station. Oncology nurses, who frequently suffer from work-related stress, compassion fatigue and burnout, reported significant improvements in tension, worry and demands over the course of the study. One of the essential oils tested was grapefruit, which is refreshing and revitalizing and helped boost the body’s feelings of energy and happiness. Source: WisdomPills.co Thieves oil uses — Thieves oil takes its name from a blend of essential oils that was used by those robbing the victims of the bubonic plague. Studies confirm that the blend has many useful properties. Some uses for the oil include: spray on plants as a pesticide, dilute with water and use to sanitize surfaces, blend with a carrier oil and use as an acne treatment, apply to insect bites and stings, apply to cold sores or infected gums, use one drop diluted in water as a mouthwash, massage into temples for headache relief.

Chamomile tea has anti-inflammatory and sedative properties. Ginger, in the form of ginger ale or fresh ginger tea, is an antioxidant and can decrease nausea. Peppermint can also help settle the stomach, whether in tea or a peppermint candy. Yogurt can help ease cramping and diarrhea. Also, reflexology of the foot can help. Rubbing the arch of the left foot can cause the abdominal area to relax and feel calmer. Source: Parents.com.

Saving for your kids’ education? The sooner the better Commentary by Joyce Foster If you’re a young parent, one of the greatest challenges you will likely face in building a brighter future for your money your children is to find a way to help them afford higher education. The best strategy to build a college fund is to start it as early as possible with a regular savings program. However, if your child is a teenager and you’re just beginning to save, here are a few suggestions: • Save what you can reasonably afford to put away for your child’s college fund, but don’t sacrifice entirely your retirement savings in the process. Your child can borrow for education, but there are no grants or loans to help afford your retirement. • Whenever you begin saving, consider using a tax-advantaged approach, such as a 529 college savings plan that allows earnings to grow tax deferred and the tax-free withdrawal of funds for qualified education expenses. • Have a realistic discussion with your children about what to expect in their selection of a college. If money is limited, they may have to scale back their choices to more affordable schools or geographical areas.

Surveys like election polls? Commentary by George Klein The 2016 presidential election was significant for many reasons. The incredible inaccuracy of the polls stands feedback out as one noteworthy aspect of the election. The political news reporters were shocked and embarrassed by how they blew the prediction of the election outcome. This is a clear demonstration of how decisions can be based on erroneous information. Some of the inherent flaws in polls are similar to problems with surveys. Poll predictions use several factors that are supposed to be representative of the population. Like polls, surveys are the responses from a subset of people who theoretically represent the whole, and the results are based on those who are willing to respond. The accuracy declines and results are skewed for several reasons. One reason is because we are inundated with surveys, and many of us don’t respond. I spoke with a business leader recently who was frustrated that only three people out of 750 responded to his company’s survey. His compensation was affected by the satisfac-

tion ratings, but the results were worthless. Customers have been tainted by long surveys with endless pages of questions. No upfront indication of the length or the time it will take to complete result in high abandonment rates. In a 140-character world, customers want to respond to one or two simple questions such as: • How are we doing? • How was your experience today? • Rate us on a scale of 1-5. • Let us know if there is anything else we can do to improve your experience. If more in-depth market research is needed, there is a different process for handling that. Customers who choose to give their time by participating in extensive market research are doing the business a favor and should be compensated for participating. If you are using surveys, look deeper before making decisions on the results. Are they truly representative of your customers?

Beef & Boards presents ‘Shear Madness’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Nick O’Brien (Jeff Stockberger), right, watches as Tony Whitcomb (Daniel Klingler) fills his hand with shaving cream as he prepares to give Nick a shave in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s 2017 season-opener, “Shear Madness.” Now on stage through Jan. 29, this madcap murder mystery takes place in a not-so-typical Indianapolis hair salon – and the audience decides how it ends. (Submitted photo)
Eddie Curry knows most audiences enjoy a good whodunit, especially one full of laughs. Curry will direct the Indiana premiere of Theater “Shear Madness,” which will run through Jan. 29 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis. “It’s quite a complicated little piece because there is audience participation, and it’s a different show every night,” said Curry, artistic director at Beef & Boards. “It’s the same plot but there are three or four potential suspects who can be voted at the end of the night as the murderer. The audience helps decide each show who the murderer is. The hardest task the actors have in front of them is there are 80 potential comedic bits, but on any given night, they might only deal with eight to 10 of them.” “Shear Madness” opened in Boston in January 1980 and is still running. It’s been running at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., since 1987, in New York City since 2015, and previously had two stints in Chicago. It started when Marilyn Abrams and Bruce Jordan acquired the rights to the script originally written by a
German playwright. “It was written to be an example of how bad eyewitness testimony can be,” Curry said. “Bruce and Marilyn saw something else in that obscure script and turned it into ‘Shear Madness.’ It’s successful in those three cities that they have completely localized everything in the show to be happening in the very area that the show is taking places.” Curry said Abrams and Jordan finally allowed other groups to take a stab at putting on their own production. “To learn some of the inside secrets and shortcuts, they ask you to send the director to Washington, D.C., for a few days to observe and learn from the cast of ‘Shear Madness’ and the director there,” Curry said. “That’s what I did in October, and it was a really great time. I learned a lot about ‘Shear Madness’ in those three days.” The play is set in a hairstyling salon on Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis-based cast includes Jeff Stockberger as the cop, Daniel Klingler, salon owner, Jenny Reber, hairdresser, Suzanne Stark, socialite, Nathan Robbins, undercover cop and Michael Shelton, mystery man.

Jewish rock musician to honor Cantor Roger By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jewish rock musician Dan Nichols performs in more than 180 shows per year, typically in front of Jewish congregations. His Indianapolis appearance will be to celebrate the upmusic coming retirement of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Cantor Janice Roger. “It’s an added bonus to me, personally, because when I was a child I belonged to Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, and Cantor Janice was my cantor when I was a kiddo,” Nichols said. “Her professional life had an impact on me becoming a Jewish musician and being touched by the beauty and power for Jewish communal singing.” Nichols will appear at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, 6501 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, for a concert at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 25. “It’s a bit of a homecoming for me, not just to Indianapolis but IHC, where my Jewish story began,” said Nichols, who has performed a few times at IHC over the years. Nichols, 47, moved from Indianapolis in the middle of eighth grade. Nichols, who lives in Raleigh, N.C., spent 10 summers at the Goldman Union Camp Institute in Zionsville before receiving his degree in vocal performance at the University of North Carolina. Nichols’ repertoire includes a wide range of sounds and styles, from energetic Jewish rock anthems to moving interpretations of traditional Jewish liturgy. Nichols started a Jewish rock band 20 years ago. The band is called Eighteen, which is synonymous with the related Hebrew word chai (life or long life). Nichols will perform solo at the event honoring Roger. “It will be an acoustic set with a lot more folk style in nature, and I’ll be

Beer & Ballet III set for Feb. 10-11
‘It Shoulda Been You’ hits ATI
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com
For Ballet Theatre of Indiana Artistic Director Stirling Matheson, presenting Beer & Ballet is both fun and challenging. dance “People loved it the first year, so we brought it back as one of our mainstays the second year,” Matheson said. Beer & Ballet III will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 and 11 at the Basile Theatre at the Atheneum, 407 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. Sun King Brewery will provide the featured beers. “Every year we’ve done a variety of contemporary pieces and excerpts from classical ballet,” Matheson said. “The first year we did ‘Le Corsaire.’ Last year we did some of the first act of ‘Don Quixote.’ This year it’s going to be from the Wedding Scene and the Kingdom of the Shades from ‘La Bayadere.’” The company of 14 women and two men will appear in the show. “Because there are so many different pieces, organizing rehearsals are difficult for myself, Sabrina (Matheson), Cole (Companion) and Annie (Mushrush),” Matheson said. Matheson’s wife, Sabrina, shares the role of artistic director. Companion is the ballet master and technical director, and Mushrush
Think of the musical comedy “It Shoulda Been You” like “Will & Grace,” complete with dysfunctional characperformance ters tackling controversial situations with crazy antics – but accompanied by music. That’s close to what audiences can expect when Actors Theater of Indiana presents the Indiana premier of the new play, Jan. 27-Feb. 12, at the Studio Theater. “What the original creative team tried to do was make this a little bit different kind of musical comedy,” said Cynthia Collins, an ATI co-founder. “They made it a little more interesting in that it plays like a TV sitcom. “It’s fast-moving, 90 minutes non-stop, and it’s happening right there,” she added. “In fact, the original tagline for the play was ‘You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll be home by 10.’ You won’t be there three hours.” Featuring music by Barbra Anselmi and a book and lyrics by Brian Hargrove, “It Shoulda Been You” follows a Jewish bride as she readies to marry her Catholic boyfriend. When the bride’s ex-boyfriend shows up, the wedding starts to unravel. Religions collide. Secrets are revealed. Plots are conceived.

is the ballet mistress. “Kingdom of the Shades is one of the most beautiful openings and one of the most iconic moments in all of ballet,” Matheson said. “It is very difficult and will really stress all of our dancers’ endurance. I’m looking forward to setting that part, rehearsing it and making them sweat. It’s difficult, it’s gorgeous and it’s an iconic moment in ballet history. It will be fun to put it on stage for the first time in our ballet’s history.” Tickets are $25. For more, visit btindiana.org.

Guest bathrooms deserve as much, if not more, design attention as wellplanned, home improvement luxury master bathrooms command. Consider that we hope to treat our guests as family members and want them to feel embraced when they visit -- at least for the first few days. Luxe master bathrooms, where we both launch and conclude the activities of our day, essentially have the same components as the guest bath. Certainly, not all guest bathrooms have full bathtub/shower accommodations, but the essentials (vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, faucet) are similar. Lets think small space/big design as my favorite magazine, "dwell," highlighted! SPLURGE Likely, your guest bathroom footprint is smaller, which affords the opportunity to splurge a little. The average guest bathroom is approximately 70 square feet, according to the RSE Index, or the Randy Sorrell Experience Index. Consequently, the cost difference for ordinary big box floor tile selections may
be $450 versus an elegant natural stone tile from Santarossa in the Indiana Design Center for an additional Benjamin. Those additional few bucks will fuel a huge ROI and set the stage for the entire space. Similarly, a high-quality vanity with a granite counter, lighting, etc., can be elegantly detailed for well-spent upgrades. Discreet and well-curated contents will be appreciated and serve to make a welcome statement to curious visitors. Think lush hand towels, tasteful waste container, spa-like soap dispenser and coordinating lotion. A small painting from a local artist sets immediate mood. Know that we partner with savvy decorators to detail our remodeled spaces. Partnered with an inspiring paint palette, an elegant story unfolds. Create an amazing guest bathroom, and “treat your guests like family and your family like guests.” Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel homeimprovement firm.

Painting the Berlin Wall Commentary by Don Knebel According to the history books, the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Actually, a long section has continued to divide German citizens. travel At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union controlled what became East Germany, and the United States, England and France controlled what became West Germany. Berlin, located in East Germany, was divided between east and west. On August 13, 1961, East Germany erected a fence encircling West Berlin to prevent its citizens from defecting. The fence soon became a 12-foot high concrete wall, patrolled by armed guards. On November 9, 1989, East Germany announced that the border would be opened, and thousands of East Berliners crossed into West Berlin without resistance. Artists soon began painting celebratory images on a section of the wall’s gray eastern side along the Mühlenstraße. Eventually, 118 artists from 21 countries had created 105 brightly painted murals. When the government removed the wall in 1990, a 1.3-kilometer-long section containing murals was preserved as the East Side Gallery. One of the most popular images showed an East German car smashing through the wall. Over time, the images in the East Side Gallery were defaced by graffiti and faded by the elements. In 2009, to mark the 20th anniversary of the wall’s collapse, the government of Berlin offered 3,000 euros to the artists to recreate their works. Some artists, including the painter of the car, accepted the offer. Others refused, considering the offer insultingly low. The government then whitewashed the works of those who refused the offer and threatened to hire other artists to recreate the original images. The threats led to a suit in 2011 by 21 artists against the city, claiming copyright infringement and
