Chinese garden proposed near Carmel Elementary

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is moving forward with initial plans to develop a Chinese garden on land owned by Carmel Clay Schools.

PARKS

The site is on .4 acres between the newly constructed parking garage for the Carmel Clay Public Library and Carmel Elementary School. It is bisected by a driveway leading to the school.

CCPR Director Michael Klitzing presented a proposal for the garden, which would celebrate the local Chinese community and commemorate Carmel’s sister city relationship with Ziangyang, China, to the school board last month. Since then, he has received the green light from the district to move forward with investigating the feasibility of the project.

CCPR is working with Dr. Yiwei Huang and students in the landscape architecture program at Purdue University, including a Carmel High School graduate, to develop a concept plan for the garden.

“Dr. Huang and the students will facilitate a public input meeting, which we anticipate occurring in March, and there will also be an online survey available for the public,” Klitzing said.

A donor has offered to pay for a portion of the garden, Klitzing said. CCPR is working to identify other funds for the project.

Previously, CCPR planned to expand and rework the Japanese garden south of Carmel City Hall into a space honoring all of Carmel’s sister cities, including Ziangyang. Officials, however, decided to maintain it as a garden celebrating only the sister city relationship with Kawachinagano, Japan,

and began to look elsewhere to locate the Chinese garden.

Klitzing said he likes the site north of Carmel Elementary for the Chinese garden because of its proximity to the Monon Greenway and Arts & Design District, making it an easy destination for pedestrians.

Roger McMichael, CCS associate superintendent, said the plan calls for CCS to provide the land and for CCPR to develop it. He said CCS could reclaim the land if needed. “We would not take that lightly, of course,” McMichael said. “In fact, we’d try to assist them if they need to relocate.”

Library director eager for year ahead

Carmel Clay Public Library Director Bob Swanay has high hopes for 2023.

CITY NEWS

After more than two years of managing through a pandemic and transitioning between buildings, Swanay said he is eager for a full year of normal operations.

“This year will be the first full year (since 2019) where the pandemic really isn’t affecting what we can

Swanay presented his annual update on the library at the Feb. 20 Carmel City Council meeting. In addition to easing out of the pandemic, Swanay said he is thankful to be in the newly renovated main campus, which reopened in October “largely on time and on budget.”

“I’ve received more positive comments about the library in the last four months than the previous six or seven years that I’ve been here, which is just incredible,” he said. “The community response has been wonderful.”

Library visits and circulation numbers dipped during the pandemic and building transition but have been on the rise. Swanay expects the numbers to continue growing throughout 2023.

The main library saw a 17.8 percent jump in visitors in 2022 over the previous year, despite being closed for two months while the collections were relocated from a temporary home in a former grocery store to the renovated building, while the West Branch saw a 32 percent increase during that time period. The expanded and relocated Digital Media Lab saw a 532 percent increase in visitors.

MARMON SCULPTURE INSTALLED AT PRIORITY WAY

CCHS to share building history

By Shelly Gattlieb news@currentincarmel.com

Indiana Artisan and the Carmel Clay Historical Society are collaborating for an evening of education and personal stories surrounding the rich history of a site in downtown Carmel.

EVENT

Historical accounts of the land date back to 1829, when Charles Ketchum received the property that now includes 22 N. Range Line Rd., as an 18th birthday gift from his grandmother, who married the chief of the Lenape Native American tribe. The first building was erected on the site in 1870.

A previous building there was destroyed in a fire in 1913 and was replaced with the existing structure. It is now the home of Indiana Artisan Gifts and Gallery, but multiple businesses have occupied the space, including a dry goods store, hatchery, furniture and appliance store, Brown’s drug store and Gilbert’s pharmacy.

The presentation, set for 7 p.m. March 1 at 22 N. Range Line Rd., will include historical background followed by comments from former employees and others asso-

ciated with Gilbert’s pharmacy. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and browse and shop in the store.

“People drive by these buildings every day and don’t necessarily think about the stories of the buildings that have been here longer than many of our Carmel residents,” said Debbie Gangstad, CCHS executive director.

The event is free, but seating is limited. Register for the program at carmelclayhistory.org.

Workers on Feb. 15 install “Marmon,” the first of four sculptures that pay homage to classic cars with Hoosier ties planned along 96th Street. Marmon, installed at the intersection at Priority Way, is inspired by the “Marmon Wasp,” which won the first Indy 500 in 1911. The four sculptures are designed by Arlon Bayliss. A formal installation ceremony is set to take place this spring. (Photo courtesy of the City of Carmel)

Gaming STEM Camp, a popular choice for Minecraft players

By Natalie Gargiulo Natalie@youarecurrent.com

Indy Stem Camps is gearing up for another summer of Minecraft, an innovative STEM program for creative gameplay.

The camp has locations in Carmel, Zionsville, Noblesville and Indianapolis, with two separate locations in Fishers. Registration is underway. The camps run from June 5 through July 28.

“My son loves these camps. The counselors are fantastic,” said Aubrey Able, the parent of a student camper.

Founder Matt Mulholland, a physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, began offering Minecraft camps in the summer of 2012 when his children became obsessed with the game.

“When my two daughters were about 10 years old, I noticed that they were playing this new video game nonstop, so I started playing with them and quickly realized the educational value of Minecraft in teaching children to create and problem solves,” Mulholland said.

Campers in first through eighth grade experience Minecraft through a customized educational version of the game on a secure server that includes only other campers and is continuously monitored by camp counselors.

All campers have their own computer workstation and can play Minecraft in multiplayer worlds with other campers. With eight unique camp titles to choose from, there is something for every child.

“Minecraft Camp was the highlight of my child’s summer to the point where he is signed up for four camps this coming summer,” Dana Harrison, a camper parent, said.

Each Minecraft Camp lasts three hours day. Camps are offered five days a week for a total of 15 hours of gameplay and instruction. Indy Stem Camps maintains an 8-to-1 camper-to-instructor ratio, allowing parents to opt their child out of any player versus player game activities.

All eight-course titles provide a unique curriculum and theme and has three experience levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced, according to Mulholland. Two modes of play, creative and survival, are emphasized. Additionally, a grade-level recommendation for each camp is provided to help parents find the right camp for their child.

“There are a million summer athletic camps, but very few for kids more interested in computers and gaming. Our Minecraft Camps fill a void by offering something different but just as enjoyable for children to do during their summer,” Mulholland said.

BGCN camps full of activities

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com

Children will have no shortage of activities to stay busy during summer camps offered by the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville.

The nonprofit offers something for campers who want to stay indoors through its Club Daybreak program, while those who are seeking something more adventurous outdoors can register for Camp Crosser that is situated on 20 acres of land near the White River. Abby Stutesman, director of club operations, said both programs begin June 5 and run for eight weeks.

Camp Crosser remains a popular destination and allows campers to enjoy zip lining, archery, a gaga ball pit, greenspace, trees, trails and campfire cooking opportunities, according to Stutesman. A nature center is also available that provides outdoor educational opportunities, she added.

“All of these activities happen throughout the week,” Stutesman said.

Stutesman said days begin at 7:30 a.m. with all campers being first dropped off at the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville before they depart on a bus to the camp property. Campers will be at the Camp Crosser property each day from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Camp is open to individuals ages 6 to 13, and Stutesman noted that there are different weekly themes with all activities planned around those themes. She said the

zip line is among the most popular activities at Cam Crosser.

“It’s definitely a focal point for Camp Crosser and it allows our campers to be challenged, but not too challenged that they can’t accomplish it,” Stutesman said. “Once they start zipping, they don’t want to quit.”

Meanwhile, Club Daybreak also gives campers an opportunity to enjoy programs within an indoor setting and is held at the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, 1700 Conner St. Participants can enjoy the facility’s game room, tech center, arts studio and enjoy field trips, according to Stutesman.

“We schedule guest speakers, we schedule events in our gym, so we can keep all the program areas within this facility that allows us to do art and education and technology and social recreation,” Stutesman said.

Stutesman said when school gets out, kids are ready to have an enjoyable summer and that is an important focus for the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville.

“We’ve got to make sure that we have activities ready to go that are engaging and fun, because summer can get really long for a kiddo if they’re not involved in something that’s stimulating for them,” she said.

Camp Crosser and Club Daybreak officially end at 4 p.m. each day, but parents will have the option of extended care for their children that requires a separate fee, Stutesman said. For more, visit bgcni.org/.

Guerin camps offer variety

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com

If kids are looking for some fun this summer, Guerin Catholic High School’s Camp Purple has something for youths of all ages.

Camps ranging from sports, baking and music are offered in June and July to children entering kindergarten through eighth grade.

“We are lucky to have both athletic and enrichment camps that cover a variety of interests. Some of our most popular athletic camps include boys and girls basketball, lacrosse and soccer,” said Colleen Ward, director of marketing and communications at Guerin Catholic. “If campers are looking for something different, we recommend checking out our popular STEM camps such as Summertime STEM, Mad Scientist Camp and our new Guerin Catholic Space Camp. These camps are fun ways to engage with important academic content while having a blast.”

Ward said what makes Camp Purple unique is access to Guerin Catholic’s community and staff.

“Camp Purple is more than just a place to spend summer break,” she said. “It’s

an experience that becomes a tiny part of who each child is. Campers are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone, as they develop valuable skills and discover their God-given gifts in a safe and noncompetitive environment.”

Ward said camps are led by Guerin Catholic’s teachers, alumni and varsity-level coaching staff who are passionate about their programs and the outcome of each camper they serve. A new program, Camp Chaos, is being offered this year and should be a fun experience for campers in first- to third-grade, said Marcia Murphy, director of fine arts at Guerin Catholic.

“We’ll make messy foods, make slime, dig in the garden and do other messy activities,” Murphy said.

Murphy said what makes Guerin Catholic’s fine arts camps unique is the fact that leaders are trying to inspire students to be creators while recognizing and seeking beauty. She noted that Guerin Catholic’s promise statement, “Love the children first, then teach them,” applies to students who attend camps.

Sailing camp teaches all levels

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Luke Andritsch was sold immediately on the Indianapolis Sailing Club.

“I started going to sailing camp when I was in second grade and immediately fell in love. The counselors were amazing and the experience of learning a new sport in a camp environment that took place on the water and on land hooked me,” Andritsch said. “I went back every summer for multiple weeks, learning new things about sailing, myself and working with others every year. This led me to becoming a counselor at sailing camp and getting to teach and show how special this place is to others.”

Andritsch, a 19-year-old Fishers resident, will be a counselor.

“Sailing camp is a place for me that symbolizes joy, and our staff works hard to make sure that is how the campers experience it each summer,” said Andritsch, a 2022 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate who attends Butler University.

The camps, located on Geist Reservoir, run for six weeks from June 12 to July 28 for ages 8-17.

Michelle Sarber, the club’s junior sailing

director, said there are beginner to advanced levels. Campers get divided by age and experience.

“Each week is different due to the different experience levels of the campers,” Sarber said. “That helps to keep each week new and fresh. We have a ranking system if campers choose to participate. There are seven levels. Kids who really want to learn to sail come back year after year to complete the ranks.”

The Indianapolis Sailing Club accomplished a major goal in 2022 by establishing a nonprofit education organization to better support its training programs. The charitable educational organization is called Indianapolis Sailing Club Academy Inc.

Summer camps reflect ‘hallmarks’ of the Park Tudor

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Park Tudor’s summer camps aim to provide many elements similar to what its students experience during the school year.

“Park Tudor’s summer camps and classes feature small class sizes and lots of individual attention – hallmarks of the Park Tudor educational experience,” said Rachel Dabertin, director of auxiliary programs at Park Tudor. “Many of our camps and classes are taught by our own exceptional teaching staff, along with highly qualified outside instructors. So, in addition to having fun, students learn and grow.”

The school at 7200 N. College Ave. in Indianapolis offers summer camp options for children from age 3 to 18 years old. Offerings include a general day camp and sessions focusing on arts and crafts, sports, performing arts, science, robotics, literature, Spanish language immersion, chess and gaming and more. Half- and full-day options are available.

“Our wide variety of options offer something for everyone and will give families a taste of the Park Tudor experience,” Dabertin said.

Registration for the camps opens in March and will continue until spots are filled. Dalbertin recommends signing up early, as the camps and classes can fill quickly. Learn more at parktudor.org/summer.

Theatre camps provide variety

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel-based Civic Theatre summer camps provide opportunities for students with a wide range of ages and abilities.

Except for an intensive camp for older students, Holly Stults, Civic Theatre education program director, said the camps often include newcomers and kids who have performed before.

“Every child has an even playing field,” Stults said. “Every child is a star. Every child has the same amount of material to perform.”

The one-week camps are run by Stults and Brent E. Marty, director of music and education.

The Little Stages camp is for ages 4-5 and will run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. June 26-29.

“Every year the theme changes and it coincides with the Junior Civic musical,” Stults said.

With the Junior Civic Theatre musical being “Newsies” June 23-28, the camp is called the Headline Edition.

“We do a song that has to do with headlines or papers,” Stults said. “They do story-

telling through music. They have costume pieces. We do a presentation for family and friends on the last day.”

Marty said all camps end with a presentation. Musical Theatre Mini-Camp is for ages 6-7 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. June 26-29.

The Jr. Civic Musical Theatre Camp for ages 8-14 will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. the weeks of July 10-14 and July 17-21. Those camps culminate with a performance on The Tarkington stage at 6 p.m. on the final day of camp. There is a 60-children limit on camp size each week.

“One year we did songs that were from particular theaters on Broadway,” Stults said. “Each age group has a different theme, and they learn songs from that. It allows us to give them an opportunity to not only learn singing, dancing and acting but the history of particular Broadway performers, composers or choreographers.”

Marty said all camps are process based.

The Musical Theatre Intensive camp for ages 10-14 is for advanced students. Marty said there is an application process to get into the camp, which is held July 5-7. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

YMCA offers a range of camps

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com

The YMCA’s summer camp schedule is filled with activities designed to give children ages 3-12 the opportunity to participate with other kids or enjoy time with the family.

Northern region clubs in Westfield and Fishers and Fort Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence are offering traditional camps and discovery camps. Enrichment clinics are available as add-ons.

Association Director of Camps and Family Programs, Desiree Brando-Gouveia said,

“Traditional camps have a lot of the traditional elements that people think of when they think of camp at YMCA,” said Desiree Brando-Gouveia, association director of camps and family programs for YMCA. “They have a lot of camp elements.”

Campers will have access to the clubs’ facilities, such as pools, gyms, sports fields and other outdoor space. Traditional camp activities include swimming, camp circles, arts and crafts, songs and more. Traditional Camps will be offered at all four YMCA locations.

Brando-Gouveia said the discovery camps

are slightly different from the traditional camps.

“They are STEAM- (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) based camp,” Brando-Gouveia said. “Every week they have a theme, and the theme is a STEAM-based theme.”

Campers can participate in activities designed to keep them physically and mentally active in indoor and outdoor space at an offsite YMCA location, such as Thorp Creek Elementary School.

The enrichment clinics will be offered at both camps, giving campers a chance to try something new or explore a passion.

“It’s a way for families to allow the kids to do an added activity at an added portion of the day, beyond the normal camp day,” Brando-Gouveia said.

Campers will have the chance to learn a new skill, such as cooking or pottery. They can explore interests such as dance or LEGO building. Sports such as flag football and bowling will be available at the enrichment clinics.

Camp Bow Wow eyes June opening in Noblesville

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

After a 30-year career as a dentist, Angie Hutter is aiming to use the same connection skills in her new endeavor as owner of Camp Bow Wow in Noblesville.

“My patients were my extended family, and these pups are going to be extended family, as well, and their pet parents,” Hutter said. “We want to be friendly, and for everyone to know everyone when they walk in. That’s our desire.”

land Rd. is set to open in June. It will provide the same programs and standards that are found at Camp Bow Wow’s more than 200 other sites nationwide.

According to Hutter, Camp Bow Wow places a top priority on safety for its employees, known as counselors, and canines, known as campers, with the counselors all being pet first aid- and CPR-certified. Live webcams capture the action throughout the day. Pups can play in large groups separated by weight or be directed into smaller

group settings or one-on-one time with a counselor.

Most programming is the same yearround, although themes change with the seasons and the pups get more outdoor time during nice weather months.

All campers must pass an interview process, which includes meeting and interacting with other dogs, before being accepted to camp.

CSO to feature film composer Williams’ music

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

‘FOOTLOOSE’

“Footloose” runs through March 26 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

‘THE

CAT IN THE HAT’

CONCERTS

The music of film composer John Williams is so popular that Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes decided one concert wouldn’t be enough.

“The Best of John Williams — A Tribute Concert” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. March 11 and 3 p.m. March. 12 at the Palladium in Carmel. The concert is the Masterworks 4 concert of the 2022-23 season.

“In my understanding, the CSO has never performed the same Masterworks twice,” Hymes said. “We decided with the popularity of this concert, the draw would be great, and we want to give everyone the opportunity to hear this amazing music accompanied by film.”

The concerts’ playlist includes selections from some of Hollywood’s biggest hits, including “Star Wars,” “Hook,” “Schindler’s List,” “AI,” “Harry Potter,” “JFK,” “Jurassic Park,” “Superman,” “Jaws,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “E.T.” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

“John Williams’ music has a distinctive sound and is easily recognizable because of the melodies, orchestration and connection to story,” Hymes said. “I have always been a fan of this iconic composer and incredibly kind human being.”

Hymes said the CSO has played Williams’ music on various concerts but not a concert designated solely to his work.

“I love them all, but I think ‘Schindler’s List’ is one of the most beautiful pieces in the repertoire,” Hymes said.

The concert will be accompanied by film clips from movies on the big screen.

“The film clips will correspond to the music, and the experience will be spectacular and a first for the CSO,” Hymes said. “We are so excited about these upcoming performances and anticipate a couple of fantastic crowds. We’ve really expanded and experimented with our programming during this 47th CSO season, and this John

Williams production is shaping up to be a highlight of a season that’s already been noteworthy for multiple highlights.”

The concerts will be performed on the same weekend that 91-year-old Williams, a five-time Academy Award winner, is up for another Oscar, his 53rd nomination, this time for the score to Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film, “The Fabelmans.”

“John Williams’ music is the soundtrack not only to some of Hollywood’s most iconic films, but the soundtrack to our lives as well,” Hymes said. “It’s the music you know and love, from the movies you know by heart.”

The Palladium was sold out for January’s Pops concert featuring Serpentine Fire: The Music of Earth, Wind & Fire, and was nearly sold out for two Holiday Pops

shows in early December.

“We definitely feed off the energy that emanates from the audience, and that’s been something we’ve experienced and really enjoyed this season,” Hymes said. “Serpentine Fire was just crazy with the fans standing, singing and dancing at their seats and in the aisles. If you think a symphony orchestra performance is stuffy and serious and straight-laced, well, you need to experience a Carmel Symphony Orchestra performance, and ‘The Best of John Williams’ would be a great place to start.”

The Masterworks 5 concert will feature Sterling Elliott on cello and is set for April. 22. The season concludes May 6 with a Pops concert featuring Capathia Jenkins with a tribute to Aretha Franklin.

Visiting the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem

Commentary by Don Knebel

the Mount of Olives.

In our continuing trip to Israel and the Palestinian Territories, today we visit the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, which Israel unilaterally annexed in 1980, following its capture during the Six Day War.

TRAVEL

The Mount of Olives, named for trees that once lined it, lies across the Kidron Valley from the Jewish Temple that the Bible says was erected by King Solomon and rebuilt after being destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. Beginning in 19 B.C., King Herod built a 37-acre platform called the Temple Mount around a refurbished Temple. According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will arrive by walking down the Mount of Olives, cross the Kidron Valley and enter the Temple from the east

To have ringside seats for the Messiah’s arrival, more than 150,000 people are buried along the western slope of the Mount of Olives. When Jesus rode down the Mount

of Olives on a donkey, his followers waved palm branches, welcoming him as the Messiah. During Jesus’ time in Jerusalem,
