Construction season coming By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has less than two years left in his term. He plans to run again, but even before this term is CITY NEWS up, Carmel could look quite different because a long list of construction projects should be completed by then — some of which haven’t broken ground yet. Brainard said he doesn’t expect 2018 to have as many road closures as 2017. But there’s an ambitious schedule nonetheless. “We’re going to do what’s right for the community and get the projects done,” he said. “We’re not going to rush them, but I always like to get in and get out so we don’t affect nearby businesses, and it actually costs us less by doing it faster.” The schedule includes transforming the Monon Greenway into a boulevard that will widen the current 12-foot-wide path into a multi-faceted, 140-foot-wide right-of-way section with new dedicated lanes for cycling, buffer zones, sidewalks, green spaces, one-way streets with additional parking on either side of the trail and a new Midtown Plaza. Some work has already begun, but trail closures could begin this summer. A large amount of the project will be complete by fall. Range Line Road will take a new shape as the city begins work from Carmel Drive to Main Street. The center lane will be eliminated and replaced with a median. Wider paths will be added to both sides to make the key corridor in Carmel’s urban core easier to use for pedestrians and cyclists. Brainard said much of the work on the 96th Street and Keystone Parkway interchange will be complete in 2019. “At this point, the plan is to leave it open,” he said. “Some of it might not be done until 2020.” Meanwhile, roundabouts along 96th Street at Hazel Dell Parkway, Haverstick Road, Gray Road, Delegates Row and Priority Way are scheduled for work in the spring and summer. Brainard said he wants work to begin this summer on a new roundabout at 116th Street and Range Line Road. The shopping center at the southwest corner has been razed to make way for a new mixed-use development, meaning construction should have less of an impact

The Monon Greenway will be transformed into a boulevard From 1st Street to 6th Street.

Range Line Road from Carmel Drive to Main Street will have the center lane eliminated and replaced with a median.

on adjacent businesses. The project is scheduled for 2018 completion, with partial access throughout. The intersection will be closed for north-south connectivity but will remain open for east-west connectivity. In addition, the Monon and Main mixed-use development is under construction. Anthony’s Chophouse is planning a spring opening. Although financing is under way, Brainard said The Carmichael, a luxury hotel and privatepublic partnership between Pedcor and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, should be on schedule for a spring 2018 groundbreaking. If all goes according to plan, guests could be checking in by fall 2019. The Proscenium, a mixed-use project at Carmel Drive and Range Line, is seeing significant progress after utility work delayed some construction. Brainard said the progress will be visible this spring. The proposed expansion of the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters has been delayed because it relies on Huntington Bank relocating from its current location next to the project site. Huntington plans to construct a new building along Range Line Road next to Kroger where Walgreens was located.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car. It was a heart attack.” – dave r.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Hospital planned on west side By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Developers wanting to build a $1 billion medical complex at 96th Street and Spring Mill Road are making DEVELOPMENT offers for homes for 40 percent more than market value. Ambrose Property Group and Bremner Real Estate are teaming to acquire property to build a hospital, according to a letter sent to homeowners. The medical group isn’t identified and the developers have declined to elaborate on their plans for the project with the media. “We are engaged by a major health system to plan, develop and construct a large inpatient hospital, supporting medical office buildings and parking structures,” James D. Bremner, partner at Ambrose Bremner Healthcare LLC, stated in the letter. “The new medical campus will enable our client to provide service excellence and innovative care for the surrounding communities.” The developer wants to buy 13 homes in the Lacoma Estates neighborhood. The homes are described in the letter as “worthy of acquisition to complement our proj-

ect but not absolutely necessary. However, to accommodate our plans due to possible future growth needs it would be prudent to purchase your home,” Bremner stated. A meeting was held Feb. 15 at the Drury Inn to review the plan. The first public hearing would likely be April 17, and the first reading of the proposed plan with the city council would be in August at city hall. Some neighbors have speculated that St. Vincent Health is behind the project. Their suspicions are based on the fact St. Vincent has a master lease for the Parkwood West building, which is owned by Ambrose Property Group and is near the proposed project. Lynda Cook, who lives on Copley Place with her husband, David, and their adult child, said they have no plans to sell their house. She said they are considering the options but likely won’t make any decision by the suggested March 1 deadline. She said they love their house and receiving the letter was very distressing. “I’m feeling stressed and bulldozed,” she said. Read the full story at currentincarmel. com.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com It wasn’t planned as a response to a tense week at Carmel High School, but the notes of CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL encouragement left on all 5,100-plus lockers couldn’t have come at a better time. The notes, which included 30 phrases such as “You are loved!” and “You don’t need a reason to help people” appeared Feb. 21, just two days after police arrested two students for making school shooting threats on social media. CHS art teacher Sarah Wolff, whose class came up with the idea a couple of weeks ago, said the notes were part of an initiative to demonstrate random acts of kindness in advance of the upcoming Mental Health Awareness Week. One teacher in each department received $20 and a class challenge to find a way to impact the greatest number of people in a positive way. Wolff’s class got the job done in less than 90 minutes. “It was a lot, but they did it,” Wolff said. “They felt really empowered.” Wolff said she anticipated the project would lead to a lot of trash on the floor, but the following day most students still had the note taped to their locker. The arrests of two male students followed a week where text messages and social media posts led to rumors spiraling out of control and widespread community panic, with hundreds of students choosing to stay home from school Feb. 16. Wolff said her class got a good lesson in the positive power of social media as they watched CHS students get out their phones to share pictures of the encouragements.

Council creates new job Compiled by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met Feb. 19 to discuss a new role at city hall, a public art commission and Airbnb permit exceptions. What happened: The Carmel City Council unanimously approved a new City Hall position that will focus on transportation, including cycling, pedestrians, electric vehicles and more. Councilor Sue Finkam was absent for the vote. What it means: The position started off originally as a bicycle administrator job but has since expanded to more of an economic development position for which councilor Tony Green said “there’s a huge need and demand.” The position would be funded in 2018 and goals will be tied to the position, which could determine future funding. About half of the salary will come out of the mayor’s budget.

What’s next: A search will begin for a candidate who will be vetted through an Internet process. The job opening will be posted online soon.

What happened: The council voted 5-1 to approve a new art commission that would give guidance on the placement of public art. What it means: The commission would get notice of any artwork and then make a nonbinding recommendation to Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard about an appropriate location.

What’s next: Councilors will appoint one person from their districts to the commission.

Dugan sets roundabout record By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Comedian Dave Dugan served as the entertainment for the International Roundabout Conference FUNDRAISER hosted by Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard in 2011. “I guess this thing has been in my blood for awhile,” said Dugan, who often targets roundabouts in his comic routine. To raise money for the Cancer Support Community, Dugan took pledges for the number of laps he would travel around the same roundabout on Horseferry Road in the Village of West Clay. Dugan chose it because in 2016 it was recognized as the “International Roundabout of the Year” by the United Kingdom Roundabout Appreciation Society. It was featured in a calendar of the world’s most beautiful roundabouts. Dugan, a Carmel resident and 1973 Carmel High School graduate, chose to drive the roundabout Feb. 2, otherwise known as Groundhog Day, since he would mimic the character in the movie “Groundhog Day,” who relives the same day over and over. Dugan set the world record for laps around a single roundabout, completing 717. He spent 3 hours and 10 minutes completing the mission. Among the passengers were WTHR-13 anchor John Stehr and radio personality Kristi Lee from “The Bob & Tom Show.” Another passenger was Carmel resident Oran Sands, who set a record for time going around the same roundabout in Carmel for 3 hours, 34 minutes and 33.24 seconds, which was verified by RecordSetter.com. Dugan stopped because, although he was aiming for a lap mark, he didn’t want to accidentally get credit for breaking Sands’ time record. “Although there were complaints from passengers of dizziness, etc.,” Dugan said, “I didn’t experience any physical drawbacks

other than neck pain from constantly being pulled to the left.” Dugan said the only breaks were to pick up the passengers. Prior to the lap record, Dugan took some ceremonial laps with Brainard. “I also did several laps prior to the world record attempt for the video that was being produced for the Cancer Support Community folks, who will use it to kick off their annual fundraiser, Laughing Matters, at the (Hilbert) Circle Theater,” Dugan said. The fundraiser is set for April 14, and Dugan will serve as host. “All in all, the roundabout fundraiser/ world record was a great experience and one I had been planning for years in honor of and inspired by my mom, Martha Dugan, who was a resident here in Carmel for 50 years,” Dugan said. “I had plenty of time to think of her and many of the other close family members and friends that inspired me to seek this quest.” His mother, who had lung cancer, died from surgical complications at age 81 in 2013.

With the implementation of Senate Bill 322, Indiana now requires all felony arrestees to submit a DNA PUBLIC SAFETY sample. The bill was signed into law last summer but went into effect Jan. 1 after the state spent time gathering supplies, hiring personnel and training employees to use the equipment. “We certainly believe that it will help solve a lot of crimes,” Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen said. “By the collection of the DNA and being able to match those up to open cases, we can be able to close out a lot of crimes we otherwise wouldn’t be able to without that DNA being available.” Boone County law enforcement officials proposed the bill after solving the murder of 82-year-old John Clements in Zionsville by matching a DNA sample from the scene to a sample in Ohio, which led to the arrest of Damoine Wilcoxson in 2016. “That case is absolutely what motivated this Senate Bill 322,” Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said. “The prosecutor saw the

importance of DNA, contacted me and Chief Knox of the Zionsville Police Dept., and we did everything we could to get Sen. (Erin) Houchin to push this bill, write this bill and push it through the House.” Now, all felony arrestees will provide a sample via cheek swab after being booked. The bill also specifies that a DNA sample be removed from the database if the charges are converted to misdemeanors, if the charges are dropped or if there are no other felony charges filed against the arrestee within one year.

AED saves local runner By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Jeff Utzinger frequently runs through his neighborhood to stay healthy, but ironically it nearly killed him. The Carmel PUBLIC SAFETY resident suffered a cardiac arrest during a run in June 2017, crumpling to the ground unconscious as his heart failed to pump blood to the rest of his body. Without intervention, death usually happens within minutes. Thankfully for Utzinger, fellow Carmel resident Bill Schlies decided to take a different route to work that morning. He found Utzinger, called 911 and followed the dispatcher’s instructions for performing CPR as he waited for help. Four minutes later, Carmel Police Dept. officer Richard Lovitt arrived and used an automated external defibrillator in his car to shock Utzinger’s heart back to life. The trio shared their story Feb. 13 during a ceremony at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, during which nonprofit Bolt for the Heart presented 90 AEDs to Indiana State Troopers to keep in their vehicles. Since 2014, BFTH has been working to put

AEDs in all state police vehicles, with the most recent donation bringing the total to 305. The majority of the funds for the donated AEDs comes from proceeds from the Bolt for the Heart 5K, held on Thanksgiving Day in Carmel. “The race is almost the afterthought. It’s the fuel that gives us the money to do what we are doing,” said Pierre Twer, BFTH founder and board president. Learn more at boltfortheheart.com.

Discovery of Native American artifact inspires artist to carve again By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

dust doesn’t get stuck between his boot laces. Gaw said he takes his gloves off periodically to feel the artwork. “I’m pouring my heart into this, and I want to touch and feel it,” he said. Gaw recommends beginners start with a piece of log-shaped clay to get a feel for carving, but he notes that with wood carving, pieces can’t be put back on once removed. For information, call 317-846-3778 or visit vineandbranchfurniture.com.

The discovery of a Native American artifact in Carmel renewed Marshall Gaw’s interest in Indian culture COVER STORY and his love of carving. The 30-year-old Carmel resident took out his chainsaw and began creating an Indian head, titled “Tribute to Native Americans,” after learning of the banner stone, a multi-tool used by native settlers possibly 4,000 years ago. A city employee found the artifact in June 2017 at the 136th Street and Gray Road roundabout construction site. Gaw works as an arborist at Vine & Branch on 146th Street, where some of his work is on display outside the building. He often can be seen in the yard with his chainsaw working on custom pieces. “I’ll take that hunk of wood and just use my imagination,” Gaw said.

A change of pace

As a child, Gaw enjoyed playing with toys such as Play-Doh and Legos. His interest in carving and clay sculpting took root in high school. A 2006 Westfield High School graduate, he said he would finish his high school projects as quickly as he could so that he could begin working on his own imaginative creations, including a gorilla with bat wings. In 2007, Gaw sold all of his belongings except for a backpack of personal items, flew to Colorado and trekked seven miles to Manitou Springs in search of a change of pace. While there, he completed an apprenticeship at Nature of Things Chainsaw Art. The first piece Gaw sold was an oil-based clay sculpture of an Indian face in Colorado. Gaw said when the purchaser walked into the store, his eyes filled with tears as he explained the sculpture looked just like his deceased father-in-law. In September 2016, Gaw’s work was featured at Indiana Originals, a marketplace for local products, artisans and businesses. Fishers resident Terry Crowder heard about Gaw’s work during an Indiana Originals radio interview. Crowder contacted Vine & Branch to order a custom elephant

sculpture with a raised trunk for his wife. Crowder said his wife, Joyce, collects elephant likenesses, and the custom-made 80-pound chainsaw carving is their biggest piece. Crowder surprised his wife with the carving on Christmas Day. “She was delighted with it,” Crowder said. “She couldn’t believe she had that huge elephant wood carving.” Recently, an anonymous donor purchased a 10-foot, 8,000-pound couch, carved by Gaw, and gave it to Newfields. The red-oak couch is outside in the Virginia Fairbanks Art and Nature Park in Indianapolis. Gaw said he admires the Renaissanceera artists and contemporary sculptors such as Alex Oliver and Jose Ismael Fernandez. He believes his talents are a gift from God. “I am only able to do things I can do because God, and God alone, has blessed me with these abilities,” Gaw said. “So, I owe

a lot of my talent and achievements to the big guy.”

Marshall Gaw obtains the wood for his carvings through his work at Vine & Branch and repurposes it. He’s created bears, a wolf chair, a rocking horse, furniture and more. Gaw’s carvings align with Vine & Branch’s mission to reuse and repurpose wood. The Vine & Branch office is filled with desks and furniture made from local wood. Vine & Branch donates chips for local parks for trails throughout the community. “We like to take trees and turn them into heirloom furniture,” said Jud Scott, Vine & Branch owner.

, How it s done

Gaw, who also is a scout sniper in the Army National Guard, begins each chainsaw carving by selecting the right size and variety of wood. He uses a blocking method to form the general shape of the carving and then uses an angle grinder with a sanding pad attachment and Dremel tool to bring the piece to life and etch the details. Gaw said he likes to finalize carvings with a coat of polyurethane to weatherproof the piece and bring out the natural color and grain of the wood. Because of the dangers of chainsaw carving, Gaw said he always wears the appropriate safety equipment, including chaps, gloves, a mask apparatus and cowboy boots so that saw-

Scary trips to the devil’s commode

O B S E R V AT I O N What will they think? Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Grandmother always reminded us to keep our business to ourselves. Don’t air our soiled skivvies for all to see. And most of all, behave like the neighbors are watching. Perhaps we might think the constraint a bit too harsh for our modern lives. But, it did tend to emphasize the rightful difference between the public forum and a private life. We learned, rather clumsily at times, how to negotiate what is correct to discuss at the dinner table and yet not suitable for the same table in a neighborhood restaurant. Come now this time of social media and the instant news cycle to make identifying this imagined line even a much greater challenge. The quaint, if not a bit prudish, admonishment to behave well in public seems decidedly on its way out. Off-handed comments are recorded, clipped and used in all manner of unintended ways. Challenging our suppositions in the company of others is imperative to human flourishing. So, if we edit ourselves so that there is no private space, where do we explore our notions? A nearby large city council has been in the news of late. It seems that there are some leadership struggles. Moreover, a pair of its members have been accused of heinous predatory acts against children. We should know about these machinations and take great care in dispensing with them. But even as central Indiana joins in pursuit of an Amazon headquarters investment, what message are we sending? Can we find a way to fight our battles without vilifying each other? Or is honesty always the best policy? What do the neighbors think? And, should we care?

It’s official. Our master bathroom toilet has become a portal to hell. And I’m not just saying this because the HUMOR bottom is stained and partially corroded by hard water, impervious to scrubbing, Cloroxing and even CLRing. Nor is this charge the result of postDoo-use brimstone stench, which luckily “Poo-Pourri” and Lysol handle quite nicely. No, our commode is a gateway to Hades thanks to a motion-activated nightlight that makes the water emanate an eerie green glow. Courtesy of Doo’s co-workers who thought it’d make a hilarious birthday gift, I now face the prospect of evil incarnate at every 2 a.m. lavatory visit. And the experience is rather disturbing, actually, because each time the toilet “turns on,” it’s as if Satan himself is rising from the depths. So, there I sit, illuminated in all my natural glory, thinking, “If the girl from the Ring tries to crawl out of here, I’m done.” One positive effect, though, has been the reduction of midnight mishaps, like tripping over shoes and running into walls. Before the highway to hell light, navigating my way to the pot meant carefully placed footsteps and arms held out straight. But now that the devil can sense my presence as soon as I cross the threshold, all I have to do is follow the beautiful, alluring luminosity of my porcelain throne. Anyhoo, I guess the point is, if something odd or terrible should happen to me, check our master bathroom first. I mean, if the Amityville Horror family could have a well in their basement to welcome Beelzebub, it just seems fitting that we Wilsons would have a john. Peace out.

READER’S VIEW ‘Real immigrants’ face many challenges Editor, Actually, this letter would have gone to State Rep. Susan Brooks, our local congresswoman, but I prefer she responds via Current because people want to know her position. Let’s talk DACA. There seems no end to the letters/articles defending these illegal aliens dropped here by no choice of their own. I am not insensitive to them, but I believe it only fair to the “legal immigrants,” and taxpaying general public to hear an opposing article of dismay and suffering caused by the illegals, the Dreamers. I am a Carmel resident, but this all happened when I lived in Washington Township in Indianapolis. In 2002 I immigrated (with) my wife and daughter. Upon arrival in January, I entered my daughter midterm into the third grade and signed her up for summer school, English (as) a second language. They only spoke Russian. When summer came, my daughter was denied the summer school because the kids that got the spots spoke no English. Checking this out and visiting the school, I found that most of the children were illegals. This was the same story for the next six years. In the sixth grade, at Northview Middle

School, part of the mandatory curriculum for my daughter was to take Spanish. In a meeting with the principal, I said that my daughter is struggling with English and only comprehends 40 percent English. After her freshman year at North Central I had a meeting with the principal and expressed my concerns. My daughter was receiving no special help with English and could only comprehend 50 percent. I said this is not right, most of those children are illegal aliens and I’m a legal taxpayer. Following this I started writing letters to former U.S. Rep. Dan Burton, our local state representative. It was a waste of my time, and he refused to see me personally. In desperation, I moved my daughter to Chatard High School. I received financial assistance but still had to put the balance on my credit card. We were struggling. You never see articles about the real immigrants. They are the tough ones. They want to learn and speak our language, English, as my wife did. Going to night school, became U.S. citizens. All in a legal way.

For the past several years, I had the pleasure of reading my syndicated weekly humor column on WFYI radio. I HUMOR was listening to some old audio files and realized that, like so many other people, I don’t like the sound of my recorded voice. This reminded me of a dear friend I wrote about five years ago when he passed away, a man who really did have a voice for radio. John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear but as gentle as a teddy bear. The 40-year veteran of Indiana broadcasting was an iconic figure whose loyal followers looked up to him. “I guess being 6-foot-4 helps,” he joked. Each word that tumbled off John’s tongue was not only meticulously chosen, but it was savored by listeners for still another nanosecond before he went on to the next. “His 60-second traffic reports,” said longtime associate Jeff Pigeon at John’s funeral, “lasted about eight minutes.” John once remarked: “I have 20 seconds to do what I have to do, read a sponsor’s name, and then if I can figure out a way to

twist a word or inject my personality into it, that’s it — I’m a disembodied voice, and every 10 minutes I stop what I am doing and talk to my imaginary friends.” Radio was John’s best friend. “Everywhere you travel, it’s there. It takes you places immediately. It exercises your imagination,” he said. John regretted how media was changing. “We went high-tech and lost the high touch,” he told me. “Radio should be about content, character and personality.” “Big John” had many opportunities to leave the Indianapolis market and pursue a more lucrative career. That was not in his flight plan. His job was on the air and in the air, but his feet were on the ground. He loved Indianapolis. He was wedded to WIBC. Why break up a happy marriage? If you still hear his halting, yet mesmerizing, voice in your head, look to the heavens. No, he’s not in the helicopter, but he’s up there. Trust me.

For Carmel resident Cassie McDowell, it’s what’s on the outside that counts. Growing up, McDowell and DESIGN her sister, Allison Vaccaro, would flip through vintage issues of Architectural Digest, Home and Garden and Coastal Living and travel across the nation in a Jeep Wagoneer with their parents to view the exteriors of beautiful homes. Throughout their childhood, their parents fixed and flipped a variety of properties from Indiana to Florida. McDowell said her father drew up house plans like most dads read the newspaper. In 2012, McDowell and Vaccaro focused their passion for properties into the webbased exterior home design business, brick&batten. McDowell, Vaccaro and business partner Shannon Gallimore offer innovative ways for homeowners to easily improve their home’s exterior. “We’re like an interior designer for the exterior of your home,” McDowell said. McDowell said the return on investment for exterior design is nearly 141 percent. The business offers clients a package

that includes photoshopped renderings of the home with the desired design elements for the exterior and landscape and a clickable shopping list including paint, columns, awnings, shutters, window trim, porch furniture, planters and lighting. McDowell said a majority of the renovations can be done by the client or a local handyman. “I think working with us makes the client the expert and gives them the confidence to execute the design,” McDowell said.

They call us by name, know what we like, ask how we’re doing and offer other items we might be interested in. That personalization makes customers feel good and keeps them coming back. Compare that feeling to walking into a business and no one greets you or even looks at you. That kind of experience creates a negative association about the business. At the very least, you may not go back, and even worse, you may tell your friends negative things about the business. Customers want to feel good about a business and feel like the business cares about them.

ATI presents ‘Lillian Baxter & Friends’ By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkinl@youarecurrent.com “Dressing in drag isn’t something I necessarily enjoy,” singer-actor John Vessels said. “Gluing on false CONCERT eye lashes is like gluing on giant spiders. And the padding? I don’t have the right kind of Vessels curves. It takes a lot of scaffolding to make me look like a woman. “It’s a lot of work.” But it comes with the job. And it’s probably not what you are thinking. “Lillian Baxter is a lady all the way,” Vessels said. “She’s not a drag queen. They’re a little different in that Lillian is a nice lady.” Lillian Baxter, aka John Vessels, and three other “nice ladies” – totally females – will present the world premiere of “Lillian Baxter & Friends: We Enjoy Being a Girl” at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The Actors Theatre of Indiana shows will be at 7:30 p.m. March 9 and 10. Vessels describes the show as a “revusical” – part revue, part musical. “The show has a girl-power theme set in 1976, so wear your wide-legged pants,” Vessels said. “It’s a concert, a cabaret, with loads of comedy and lots of reminiscing about the good ol’ days.” Supporting Baxter are the fictional vaudeville Humperdink Sisters, friends

from Baxter’s showbiz past, and pianist Corky Weinstopper, Baxter’s third and favorite of her seven ex-husbands. A gay partner with Baxter’s pool boy, Weinstopper wears elegant pajamas when he plays. Weinstopper is actually Jay Schwandt, Vessels’ real-life partner who also arranges the music for all of the shows. The Humperdink sisters are all local – ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia

Collins and special events and entertainment coordinator for the Indiana State Fair Commission, Bobbi Bates – all standout vocalists. “The twist on our show is that the sisters haven’t realized they are not little girls anymore,” Vessels said. “They are trying to find their grown-up voices.” Vessels created Lillian as a has-been MGM movie star. Actually, he “stole” it from himself after he originally had set out to write the show for a female singer. Then one day, Schwandt asked Vessels if he thought the character could be played by a man. “Oh, maybe,” was Vessels’ response. “Then what we found out along the way was that I could sing in the same key as an Irish tenor and an old belter from the MGM days and Julie Andrews. I could sing in the old belter keys, so we wrapped the first show (there are now three) around that. From there I just made her up.” The final character was a mediocre 1950s-60s performer during the days at MGM, who advanced to a short TV career on such hit shows as the “Thrifty Vittles Happy-Time Song Hour.” Despite her failure to reach real stardom, that never stopped her from spinning her tales with never-ending pride and joy. “She is a classy dame, no matter the circumstance,” said Vessels, a familiar face on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage. What Vessels likes most about portraying Baxter is the reaction he gets from the audience. “The crowds have been really, really responsive,” he said. “The shows are funny, but there’s also a lesson to be learned and a little heart to each show that kind of surprises the audience. When that dawns on them, well, watching that light come on thrills me.”

They all have their little story to tell, how I found a song, did I work with a songwriter or was it sent to me.” Milsap is enjoying performing as much as ever. “I have a wonderful band, a wonderful crew,” he said. “It’s very exciting times for me. I really love it. The audience plays a big role in that. Their enthusiasm makes me perform better. I love playing these performing arts centers. They seem to be just

Carmel Community Players, which has been in operation for nearly 25 years, is searching for a new home. THEATER On Feb. 14, CCP received a letter from Clay Terrace giving the theater group 30 days to vacate its space at the outdoor shopping mall. Clay Terrace has been the home for the small playhouse since 2009. It now needs to look for a new short- and long-term space for shows that are already scheduled. CCP will continue with its production of “American Buffalo” at Clay Terrace from Feb. 23 to March 4, but its April production of “Ragtime” has been moved to the Ivy Tech auditorium in Noblesville. It’s been shortened to two weekends because of larger seating capacity and will run April 20 to 29. Clay Terrace had given CCP a short-term lease at a fraction of market value, so CCP leadership has no animosity toward Clay Terrace. “While the timing of this announcement was sudden, it was not totally unexpected,” CCP President Tim Paramore said. “We knew that one day the competitive demand for space in Clay Terrace would force us to

move our playhouse. That day is now.” Clay Terrace will remodel CCP’s space and a few nearby spaces to accommodate new tenants. Several other displaced tenants had found other spaces elsewhere at Clay Terrace. Founded in Carmel in 1993, CCP is the oldest community theater group that was established in the city. It also is the only one that is completely volunteer-operated. Actors Theatre of Indiana and Civic Theatre are professional organizations with paid positions. “We have enjoyed having Carmel Community Players as a tenant and important part of our Clay Terrace community over the past eight years,” said Jennifer Jones, Clay Terrace’s area general manager. “We have offered assistance in helping Carmel Community Players find a new location. We wish them the best as they find a new home and continue to provide quality entertainment to the community.” Phipps said CCP was prepared to announce its 2018-19 season at its May meeting, but details might change. He said it has shows in mind but those could change depending on the size of its new space. The hope is for a minimum of 4,000 square feet.

CHS show choirs bound for LA By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel High School competition show choir season is off to a strong start. The Ambassadors, the mixed MUSIC show choir, and the all-female Accents took Grand Champion trophies in their respective divisions at the Best of the Midwest Feb. 17 at Center Grove High School This year’s shows were inspired by “Finding Nemo,’’ the music of Elton John and a fun look at silly superstitions and luck, said Kathrine Kouns, CHS director of choirs. The CHS choirs, including New Edition, competed at Franklin Central High School Feb. 24 and will compete March 3 at Solon High School in Ohio. The final competition of 2018 will be a national one at Los Alamitos High School March 17 in Los Angeles. “The Los Angeles trip will include exchange workshops with other show choirs in the area, participation in a large show choir contest at Los Alamitos High School as well as a trip to the Hollywood Pantages Theatre to see the Broadway touring production of ‘Aladdin,’ and a fun final day at Universal Studios,’’ Kouns said.

Jill Reese, who is in charge of publicity for CHS Choirs, and the mother of Ambassadors senior Anja Reese, said there are various regions across the nation where show choir is extremely popular. “We’re in one of those show choir hotbeds here in the Midwest,’’ Reese said. Kouns said the Carmel community will have the opportunity to see all the choirs at the Choral Showcase March 7 and the competition shows at the Evening with the Ambassadors & Accents March 24. Both are at the CHS Auditoirum. Tickets for both events can be purchased at ticketracker.co.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modernized Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This 1920s home is in the historic Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The owners have been in this beautiful home for many years with the intent to make it their “forever home.” It just needed a few updates to make it perfect home for them!

The main focus of the kitchen remodel was to open up the space and make it function better for the owner while creating a cohesive design that flows nicely with the rest of the home. 1. One of the largest changes came from enlarging the footprint of the kitchen by expanding into the butler’s pantry. This created more space in the kitchen and allowed for better flow. 2. Another major change came from replacing all of the cabinetry and countertops, in addition to adding a built-in island for counter space. 3. The backsplash was replaced with a traditional white subway tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a stainless steel rangehood was added above the stove, giving the space a modern yet traditional look. 4. For more details, visit out blog!

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The kitchen was not only dated but lacked overall functionality. It was very small and connected to the rest of the home by two narrow doorways. The lack of open space made it hard to utilize the kitchen to its full potentional.

Autocorrect is (subtly) ruining correct grammar Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt For once, it’s not the millennials getting the blame for the downfall of civilization. Today, I’m blaming Apple. But the good news is—if anyone from ApGRAMMAR GUY ple is reading this column (I’ve heard Grammar Guy is big in Cupertino)— they can fix this with a quick update to their iOS. Last year, Apple’s autocorrect feature had a hiccup: When people typed in “I” it would autocorrect to “A.” A couldn’t believe what A was seeing. Fortunately, enough people brought it to Apple’s attention that the company that gave birth to Siri (or was it the other way around?)

fixed the bug in an iOS update. As an iPhone user, I can’t speak for Android- or Windowsbased phones, but Apple’s autocorrect gets confused when I type plural days of the week. Sometimes it adds an unnecessary apostrophe and sometimes it leaves Tuesdays alone. And, remember my apostrophe philosophy: Apostrophes are like sentence confetti, adding a fun flair to your scintillating syntax. But a misplaced apostrophe is like confetti at a funeral – inappropriate and impossible to undo. When I type “I like to eat waffles on Fridays” into a text message, Apple’s iOS correctly leaves my sentence alone. However, when I thumb-type “I hate Mondays almost as much as Garfield,” autocorrect changes Mondays to Monday’s. In this instance, Mondays doesn’t have ownership of anything, so what gives? If you use a non-Apple-based smartphone, let me know if your autocorrect feature does

the same thing for you. The tricky thing is, texting “Did you see last Monday’s episode of ‘The Bachelor’” is correct, but, “On Mondays I watch ‘The Bachelor’ with my trusty box of Franzia” also is correct, and my autocorrect leaves both alone. In the first example, the episode aired on Monday, so Monday’s is correct. In the second example, I’m talking about something I do on Mondays; nothing belongs to Monday in this sentence. So, it seems like when you type pluralized days of the week on their own (i.e., I hate Mondays), Apple’s autocorrect incorrectly apostrophizes my texts. Can someone call or text Apple and let them know? Let’s harness the power of newspapers to address an incredibly minor (but kind of annoying) grammar glitch.

A misplaced apostrophe is like confetti at a funeral – inappropriate and impossible to undo.

Archaeologists began restoring some of the buildings. Today, about 10 percent of the original village has been excavated and is open to the public as an open-air museum. Some of the buildings, including a two-story house with a sleeping room upstairs, have been completely restored and appointed with period-appropriate furniture and supplies.
