New retail, apartments proposed By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Plan Commission listened to presentations about several new buildings and developments at its Feb. 16 meeting. The projects include an transportation office building, a retail development, an apartment complex and a storage unit site. Carmel Lakeside Retail Location: Northeast corner of Carmel Drive and Guilford Road Size: One-story, 10,424-square-foot multitenant retail building. Description: The proposed site plan is close to the northeast corner, but there’s enough room for one row of parking on a drive aisle. Additional parking will be shared north of the building. East of the site is Lakeside Apartments, south is the Atapco office building and west is Midwest ISO. Citimark - Wagner Reese Office Building Location: 11939 N. Meridian St. Size: Three-story, 61,062-square-foot office building Description: Currently, the site houses a former two-story dwelling unit that was used as a law office. East and north of the site are office buildings and south is Renaissance Hotel. U.S. 31 is to the west, as is the Ritz Charles event center.

parcel coverage is 65 percent so a variance was requested. One One Six Apartments Phase 2 Location: East of College Avenue and north of 116th Street. Size: Three multi-family buildings, each three stories tall, totaling 81 apartment units on 3.258 acres. Description: Two of the buildings will flank an improved retention pond, and landscaping and low picket fences will screen any HVAC units on the side of the buildings.

Midwest ISO is located to the east and Primrose School is located northeast of the site.

Obstructed view intentional By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel is giving a facelift to the roundabout interchange at Main Street and Keystone Parkway with new lighting, landscaping and a decorative stone transportation wall. “Just as our district archways provide the gateways into this unique area, it is fitting to improve this nearby interchange so that visitors know they are about to experience something very special,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said in a statement. The decorative walls will ascend in the shape of a Fibonacci curve with a decorative urn sitting atop a pillar. The shape has been described as “serpentine,” and Brainard said it will look beautiful when it’s complete. But not everyone is a fan of the new landscaping design. One reader sent a letter to Current in Carmel saying they thought the project looked like “giant, concrete cinnamon rolls … that are obstructing everyone’s view of traffic.”

“It used to be grass,” Lynette Quinn wrote. “Now it is a concrete swirl on each end. Since I pass it every day about 6:45 a.m. – before breakfast – they look an awful lot like giant concrete cinnamon rolls. They block visibility, just like some of the other art and structures in Carmel.” Brainard said blocking visibility is intentional. “Actually, they’re there for people who don’t know how to drive through a roundabout,” he said. “You want to block visibility straight across the roundabout to encourage people to look to the left for the gap. One of problems we have with roundabouts when it comes to moving the amount of traffic they are supposed to move is that people see people way on the other side and then they wait for them. They are just supposed to look to the left for the gap and go. So blocking the intersection prevents that. It helps roundabouts function better.” The Main Street and Keystone Parkway roundabout interchange project will cost $539,894 and is funded by the 2010 county option income tax bond.

Student receives computer award By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School student Gayatri Balasubramanian recently won the National Center for Women and Information TechTech nology Indiana Affiliate Award for Aspirations in Computing. She received her award at the OneAmerica building and received a check for $250, engraved plaques and a gift bag. “My interest in computer science started with a fascination in robotics after I read the 2010 cover article of the National Geographic Magazine, Merging Man and Machine. In middle school, I pursued every opportunity to build bionics and robots,” Balasubramanian said. “Today, I am involved in computer science because I understand the importance of the field is more than just programming. To me, computer science is exciting because it is a result of testing the limits of computation.” Balasubramanian and the other winners received the award because of their aspirations in computer science and technology and plans for post-secondary education and leadership ability. Balasubramanian also was also runnerup for the NCWIT National Award. “I am just beginning to uncover topics such as complexity theory or graph theory – amaz-

Carmel resident Michelle Zhu, who attends Park Tudor, also received the award but did not respond as of press time.

Twins winners of Lego contest By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Kendall and Chelsea Tinsley, eighth grade twins at Creekside Middle School, were recently named as one of achievement two winners in North America in Lego’s Chima Big Box Contest. Chima is a fantasy-themed series of Legos where fire and ice are pitted against each other. The girls learned of the contest in Lego Magazine. The contest was to build a fortress with something to determine which side would win. They decided to do it a little differently. Instead of building one that had a foregone winner, they built the fortress so it was double sided. One side was fire and one side was ice, said their mother, Carolyn Tinsley. The sisters spent their spare time over a couple of months in the summer and early fall working on their piece. Their fortress contained movable walls, a secret passage and defense mechanisms – all created from their imagination. “They put it together, created a video and sent it in,” Carolyn said. “I knew it was pretty good when they sent it in. I just thought the chances of them winning were pretty slim,

They also received all of the 2015 Chima Lego kits – more than 10,000 pieces in all. Carolyn said she believes they’ll continue to participate in the contests. “They really enjoy coming up with their own creation more than they do building a kit,” she said.

George Cornelius IV was passionate about his filmmaking. So Vickie Cornelius IN MEMORIAM Phipps is convinced her late son would be pleased that a $2,500 filmmaking scholarship will be given to a Carmel High School senior. Cornelius graduated from CHS in 2001 and went on to graduate from the University of Southern California in 2006. Cornelius has surpassed all expectations on his life expectancy. Most of those born with spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disorder affecting the part of the nervous system that controls voluntary muscle movement, die in their first two years, but he lived until he was 32. He died in August. Phipps said donations were collected at Cornelius’ funeral and through a Facebook page. The Carmel Educational Foundation will accept donations in his name for the scholarship. Phipps said she hopes it will be an annual scholarship. Cornelius’ Gimped Productions made thrillers and comedies, Phipps said. Cornelius lived in Los Angeles after college until moving to Fishers in 2014 to be closer to his family.

“He wrote several long, feature films but didn’t live long enough to produce them,” Phipps said. “He had one movie that Netflix wants to start into a series. It’s called ‘Under Duress.’ But it isn’t finalized yet.” Phipps said her son encouraged many others. “A lot of people saw his accomplishments and thought, ‘well, I have no excuse,’” she said. “He brought a lot of great people into his life.” Phipps said many at CHS helped Cornelius use his creativity. One of them was theater

teacher Jim Peterson, who has been teaching the International Baccalaureate film classes at CHS since the fall of 2007. “The program has grown tremendously since its beginning with five full sections being taught. Having this scholarship will mean a lot to these students who are ambitious about film,” Peterson said. Peterson said Cornelius mainly worked behind the scenes in the technical elements of the plays at CHS. “He would make announcements to play over our in-house television system that would advertise various productions, which may have fueled his passion for film or at least gave it an outlet,” he said. Cornelius also directed a short, one-act play as part of the high school program Studio One-Acts. “It was called ‘Take 5,’ and I remember it being technically complex for a short play,” Peterson said. “It was a hilarious play, and it was because of George that it was so successful. He had a great sense of humor and timing. He also had a bit of a perfectionist streak that served him well as a director.” The deadline to apply for the foundation scholarship is March 11.

Officials speak on oil dependency By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Residents attending the Feb. 17 Carmel Green Initiative Sustainable Living Seminar heard from two local environment leaders about the U.S. dependence on oil, its impact and what can be done about it. Hosted by CGI and the Carmel Clay Public Library, the event featured a screening of Roger Sorkin’s “The Burden” as well as presentations from Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and veteran and former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. The 40-minute documentary focuses on the U.S. military’s dependence on fossil fuels, claiming the U.S. military consumes 20 percent of the global supply of oil. The film also focuses on the amount of American military lives lost fighting to protect oil interests in the Middle East. Following the screening, Ballard spoke to residents and emphasized the U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern affairs related directly to its dependence on oil. “My basic question is, ‘Why are we in the Middle East?’” Ballard said. “That’s a good basic question to ask. Forty years we’ve been doing this since the Middle Eastern countries figured out, because of the oil embargos of

1973, they could affect our quality of life. That’s why we are there.” Brainard discussed Carmel’s eco-friendly endeavors, including its hazardous waste recycling facility, more than 170 miles of trails, the efficiency of roundabouts and the implementation of hybrid vehicles for city staff. Brainard closed by explaining the important impact that U.S. cities can have on changing fossil fuel dependence within the nation. “ Cities and people in cities can make a real difference,” Brainard said. “We’re doing it in Carmel, Indiana, we’re going to keep doing it and also set an example for a lot of other cities in the country if we do it right here.”

Bison-Tennial artists sought By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Association of United Ways is hoping its Bison-Tennial Public Art Project approaches a stampede BICENTENNIAL down the stretch. The legacy project is designed to celebrate Indiana’s 200th birthdate by decorating a 5-foot fiberglass bison. The goal is to have at least one completed in each of the 92 counties by the end of May. Each bison will be on display along the Bicentennial Torch Relay, running from Sept. 9 through Oct. 15, leading up to Bicentennial Statehood Day Dec. 11. “We are excited that we currently have bison being planned in over 50 of our 92 Indiana counties,” said Heather Davis, bicentennial projects coordinator for IAUW. “As more and more Hoosiers hear about the project, the excitement about this first-ever statewide public art project grows exponentially.” Davis said there has not been a group or individual to commit to designing a bison for Hamilton or Boone counties. “We have attempted to identify project leads in each county to facilitate the coordination of local sponsors and artists,” Davis said. “We couldn’t be more thrilled that all of the

artists in our current participating counties are local to that county.” The response has been impressive, Davis said. “We are seeing a fantastic array of artists being involved in this project: from young amateur artists getting their name out there, to local school art classes and even a nationally acclaimed artist who has been featured at the Smithsonian,” she said. “This is exceeding our dreams of highlighting not just each county’s history and contributions to our great state of Indiana, but also the amazing artistic talent we possess statewide.” For more, visit indianabisonart.org.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This year marked the first time the Carmel High School team ever advanced to the Indiana High School Bowlachievement ing state finals. “If you had to ask me of any of the four years, I would say this team was the least expected to do well,” said senior Nick Lambert, whose team finished eighth of 12 teams in the boys portion of the state finals Feb. 20 at Mike Aulby’s Arrowhead Bowl in Lafayette. “So the fact that we did it was just amazing.” Perhaps it just took a little extra motivation. Mike Caron, who has been the team’s coach for 12 years, learned he had lung cancer before the team began bowling matches this season. Assistant coach Mike Oehler took over with help from Caron’s son, Carl. “I really think we did it because of our coach — we just had him in our mind,” Lambert said. “We knew it’s what we had to do and make what may be his last team, his best team. It was a huge motivation.” Senior Danielle Singer, the lone female on the team since Carmel didn’t have enough competitors for a girls team, said bowlers were focused. “Every game that we bowled sectional through state, it was always for Coach,” Singer said. “Honestly, I never expected to get to state with this team. Last year was supposed to be our year, and we kind of messed it up. It was a great surprise.”

Singer said during the breakdown before the match, the bowlers would say “1, 2, 3 for coach.” “When we were tired and wanted to get it done and go home, that was when we said for coach, and we got our highest Baker score ever with 254,” Singer said. In the Baker scoring, each member of the team bowls a frame. Oehler’s son, Grant, a junior, placed second in in the individual stepladder finals, losing in the state championship final to Ben Davis freshman Nikolas Bowman, 195-186. Oehler was the individual regional champion and second in semi-state. Freshman Steven Dawson was one of eight bowlers on the squad. “It was an awesome first year,” he said. “I couldn’t have expected anything better. Going to state was a great experience for all of us.”

A local nonprofit autism therapy clinic has recently expanded, adding space and plans to hire new staff. Little Star nonprofit Center, which was previously divided between two separate sites at Carmel’s Hamilton Crossing complex, has added 6,500 square feet at one of its existing locations. Little Star Center specializes in providing children, teens and young adults with autism the chance to become comfortable in common social settings. The expansion includes new rooms in which these settings are simulated, like a barbershop/beauty salon and dentist office with a waiting room, as well as general space for the expanded staff and a reception area. “[Kids with autism] don’t have those pretend play skills. Children typically learn by watching others,” Little Star Center Executive Director Mary Rosswurm said. “We have to practice with them and desensitize them to scary situations like a dentist scraping their teeth.” One in 68 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder according to a 2014 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Little Star Center also features various group sessions, and has previously serviced adults up to 26 years old. The new expansion will also bring in 25 new jobs for qualified therapists. Little Star Center facilities are also in Lafayette, West Lafayette and Bloomington. The West Lafayette center is the most recent opening. The new Carmel facility is at 12650 Hamilton Crossing Blvd. For more, call the Carmel Little Star Center at 249-2242.

Teens for Life presents movie By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School’s Teens for Life club wants to share its message with fellow students and the public. fundraiser The club is showing the movie “Gimme Shelter” at 3:30 p.m. March 8 at CHS’s Studio Theatre. Admission is free and popcorn and drinks are $1. Freewill donations will be accepted. All proceeds will be donated to the O’Connor House, a non-profit organization that provides a home in Carmel for pregnant mothers. Representatives of The O’Connor House plan to give a short talk during intermission. “This is a good way for us to reach out to our school and let them know who we are and also to the community,” said club co-vice president Sophia Tragesser a sophomore. The movie, which stars Vanessa Hudgens, is a true story of a young girl facing an unplanned pregnancy who flees an abusive mother. At the urging of her father and stepmother, the girl visits an abortion clinic but decides she doesn’t want to go through with it. She goes to a home for pregnant women and gets a lot of encouragement from her peers, club co-president Mary Carmen Zakrajsek said.

“I think it’s important, because a lot of time people will say if people are in a bad situation or poor then abortion is the necessary thing to do,” said Zakrajsek, a junior. “It’s showing this girl who is the poorest of the poor and if she can do it, I think anybody can do it. It’s the story of someone who becomes pregnant at a young age and she is strong enough to carry the baby. I think that’s going to inspire other people as well.”

Eco-adventurer to speak at library By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Bryan Brown was the first to descend the 2,400-mile Colorado River solo and unsupported, and the former Columprogram bus, Ind., resident will stop by the Carmel Clay Public Library March 6 to share about this and his other eco-adventures. Brown and his kayak traveled the river while facing many challenges, exploring wilderness and viewing endangered species in their natural habitat. “I purposefully chose to embark on this journey with an ecological mission,” said Brown, 59. Although currently based in Beverly Hills, Calif., Brown spends time traveling around the U.S. sharing his story. His day job is as a Wall Street market strategist, but he is passionate about his hobby that allows him to speak about environmental awareness. “The goal is to educate anyone with an interest in expedition-style travel,” Brown said, “The big thing is the ecological message.” In addition to this kayaking trip, Brown has hiked the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, completed a transcontinental bike ride, and climbed 40 peaks higher than 14,000 feet in elevation.

Story sheds light on life in WWII By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Sean Millard’s stories about his grandmother are getting exposure again. Millard’s historical family story books called “Growing up German” was published in “Echoes from World War II: Young Writers Sharing Family Stories.” The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration has published the book in honor of its 10th anniversary. The Grannie Annie, a nonprofit based in St. Louis, invites students in U.S. grades four through eight and homeschooled and international students of comparable ages to interview an older relative. Millard’s mother, Karie Millard, said her son has always been close to his grandmother, Christine Englemann Millard, 81, who has lived in Indianapolis since 1968. Millard, 23, wrote the stories while attending Midwest Academy in Carmel. The stories were published in Grannie Annie, Vol. 2 in 2007 and Volume 3 in 2008. “I was very excited it was going to be republished,” Millard said. “I was also excited the first time they were published so my family could read about Oma (German name for grandmother).”

CHS junior Aleck Belcher a rising star on the double bass By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Aleck Belcher is one of the nation’s rising young stars on the double bass. He’s been selected for elite groups that include the Perlman Music Program and has won top prizes in national competitions, but his introduction to one of the largest musical instruments happened by coincidence. As a student at Clay Middle School, he and other classmates had the opportunity to test out three different instruments. He selected the trumpet,

percussion and bass because there wasn’t a line to try it out. “I would never say that I was interested in playing bass,” said Aleck, 16, a junior at Carmel High School. “It just sort of came upon me.” Since then, Aleck has developed a passion for the double bass, also known as a contrabass or upright bass.

Sub-par parenting

FR O M   T HE B A C KSH O P

Apparently, it’s Trump’s to lose That sound you’re hearing is the Republican Establishment Machine frantically busying itself with wailing and gnashing of molars while trying to pool enough fiscal resources to get Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) into a position to derail Donald Trump (R-Billions). This run-up to the party’s nomination will be nothing short of pure entertainment. Trump, indeed, is to be taken extremely seriously in his candidacy. What we first mistakenly categorized as buffoonery months ago is proving to be quite the opposite. This is nowhere near an endorsement – we got out of that business long ago – but the fact that Cruz and Rubio are trailing significantly in polling is something that has the Makers of the Spineless (see George Bush the First) on edge. Stops? Expect them all to be pulled out by the Republican National Committee. This probably will be darned good theatre, much more entertaining than the last go-round between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama - and that was a heck of a show! Still, if Trump garners victories in the majority of Super Tuesday races (that would be today, by the way), this thing could be over. Concurrently, we’re also looking forward to Clinton (N.Y) and Bernie Sanders (Vt.) continuing to duke it out to see who can run the farthest on the yellow brick road to socialism; that would be the race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. As much as we wanted to see Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and Clinton battle it out in November – for entertainment purposes, if nothing else - we’re thinking Trump v. Clinton might have even more impact on national discourse. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Donner, party of 87 Commentary by Terry Anker Of all guests list we might like to make, the Donner Party is not one. Notorious for its admitted cannibalism, the group of would-be 1846 pioneers were led across the American west toward promised abundance in California by George and Tamsen Donner, an aging Missouri farm couple. As is often the case with our best-laid-plans, nasty weather, poor choices, and ill fortune conspired trapping the travelers in the Sierra Nevada mountains at the height of the winter storm season. Beleaguered and desperate, some turned to an apparent, if macabre, source of much needed calories – the dead or dying amongst themselves. Retold in American high school history classes, the story is used to illustrate the spirit that drove folks, under risk of considerable peril, to move west and populate the largely then open land. But, Donner also is a cautionary tale of terrific hubris and misplaced trust. Local Hoosier Karl Ahlrichs, a direct descendent of Donner, recently appeared in a

lengthy, nationally televised documentary retelling the account of the infamous wagon train. He talks insightfully of the qualities, good and bad, that inspire we humans to both to follow and, at times, to lead. In the program one learns that fellow settler James Reed was the more qualified to head the expedition but lacked what today might be called “soft” skills. He was tough and single-minded while the notably more mature Donner was the more consensus driven and likable of the men. Reed was expelled along the route for killing another traveler in a fight. Against all odds, he vowed to return to his wife and young children. He did – all survived and went on to find success in California. Conversely, Donner, along with 40 others, succumbed on the trail. One wonders, when is grit required and when is it simply an abrasive? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEEK It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. – Harry S. Truman

It’s a good thing I’ve already won Mother of the Year (2002, NNMTC, thank you very much), because lately, I humor wouldn’t even earn a nomination. Read on for a tale of poor parenting at its finest. Our youngest has been sick or injured for what seems like forever. So when she complained of ear pain last week, I wasn’t surprised, just annoyed, and found it hardpressed to give her any sympathy. After an hour visit to the Minute Clinic (what?), a double ear infection was confirmed. But since she wasn’t contagious or running a fever, I did what any sub-par parent would do: I drove her directly to a sleep-over. (Curse those baby blues; they get me every time!) Not surprisingly, two evenings later, she was almost in tears from the pain and sporting a fever of 102. My husband and I then made another questionable decision when, the following day, we left her at home alone. In our defense, she is almost 12, and we did put grand-parental reinforcements on call. Stop judging! Of course, by the time I returned from work, her fever had skyrocketed to 104.6. Sweet Jesus! Naturally, she freaked out, and I calmly lied to her precious flushed face: “It’s normal. You’re fine.” Then I rushed upstairs and left a somewhatpanicked voicemail for the pediatrician. One hundred and four is high! But here’s the best part: after I hung up, I jumped right into my car and drove to the gym. I abandoned my very sick child so I could work out. I know! Looking back, I can only attribute my monumentally bad judgement to the fact that she is child number four. I’ve pretty much seen it all. And to my credit, when the nurse called back and said to take her to the ER if the fever wasn’t down, I did try and reach my daughter by phone. I didn’t stop the elliptical, mind you, but I did make an effort to check on her. In the end, she was okay. No harm, no foul. But still probably not Mother of the Year, right? Peace out.

Punny thoughts on cauliflower Commentary by Dick Wolfsie There’s not much humor related to the topic of cruciferous vegetables. If you google Brussels sprouts or kale or turhumor nips for any clever witticisms, you’re going to come up empty and disappointed – sort of the way you feel after eating that stuff. There have been a few exceptions. Mark Twain claimed cauliflower was just a head of cabbage with a college education. Stephen Colbert recently asserted that cauliflower was just broccoli trying to win an Academy Award, a reference to the alleged color bias in the nominating process. I’d like to see more cruciferous humor, so I was thrilled to read this headline in the Wall Street Journal: “DIETER’S AFFAIR WITH CAULIFLOWER COMES TO A HEAD” This, from the WSJ, not a publication known for its whimsy. The article describes a customer at a Sam’s Club making a beeline to the produce area, hoping to find this healthy vegetable, which is in short supply now. Wouldn’t you make a beeline to shelves with honey? Writer Robin Sidel laments that because cauliflower is getting tougher to find, many consumers

are “fruitlessly” digging into supermarket bins looking for it. Fruitlessly? If anything, you would be “vegetatively” looking for the cauliflower. The reporter says cauliflower’s popularity has “blossomed” as a substitute for starchy foods. I’m pretty certain there’s no blossoming in the life cycle of a cauliflower. Maybe I’m wrong. I’ll try a bouquet for Mary Ellen on Valentine’s Day. Sidel interviews this woman who has ended her love affair with cauliflower. In her cauliflower blog (yes, I’m serious) she has defiantly posted a recipe for broccoli salad. Says the blogger, “I have now taken my revenge like any former bitter lover.” There’s the problem: she’s bitter, but her former lover is bland and unexciting. Good luck with broccoli: not exactly the George Clooney of vegetables. I know a humor column is an odd place to discuss the rising price of cauliflower. I’m just giving you a heads up.

“Where’s Amy?” … I attended the Actors Theatre of Indiana Mardi Gras Party presented by the ATI Guild and sponsored by Current. The festive annual fundraiser was held at the Woodland Country Club and was pure magic from the minute I walked in the front doors. The ATI Guild did a fantastic job from the bright colorful decorations to the mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres and complimentary hurricanes. Guests enjoy various games and chances to bid on spectacular silent auction items donated from local businesses and major corporations. The silent auction items were amazing because there was something for everyone. I scored a super cool “Star Wars” basket but was out bid by another guest for a fun Colts package. One lucky guest won a beautiful pair of 14K white gold diamond studs from Midwest Jewelers and Estate Buyers while another guest walked out with a stunning John Hardy Classic Chain Bracelet from Moyer Fine Jewelers. The Tim Brickley Quintet kept the night hopping as we enjoyed a delicious New Orleans-style dinner. Guests hoped to find the prized Cake Baby, which would entitle them to become the king (or queen) of the court. For more on this event, visit CurrentNightandDay.com.

Stay active through Jr. Civic Commentary by Julia Bonnett, Development Officer for the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre Jr. Civic Musical Theatre Summer Camps occur every July and keep 120, 7- to 14-yearolds engaged in active, summer camp healthy lifestyles. The two camp sessions take place over the course of one week and immerse students in high-energy, intensive learning experiences from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each day of camp consists of a warm up; workshops in acting, music, and dance; “Intermission,” in which college interns direct campers in short scenes; writing original plays; and rehearsal time. A culminating performance of the classroom repertoire is presented on the Tarkington stage for family and friends on the Friday evening at the close of each week of camp. Jr. Civic takes care of the whole performer by not only teaching technique and repertoire, but also nutrition and health. To communicate the importance of a healthy lifestyle, instruction in nutrition ensures that each student is aware of appropriate caloric intake and hydration to support strong performances onstage.

Carmel Community Players, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel, will raise funds for the main stage producperformance tions at one of its Cabaret Series performances that are generally put on approximately three times throughout the year. “Bending Broadway,” a mirror performance of “Broadway Backwards,” will be the March Cabaret Series set for March 4 through 6. The event will circle around men singing songs better sung by a female and vice versa. “I think the great thing about the Cabaret Series, especially ‘Bending Broadway,’ is it attracts the best performers from all over Indiana,” said Perry Accetturo, artistic director. “Performers are big fans of these performances because there is a low commitment and it gives them a chance to sing Broadway on stage that they wouldn’t be able to. It gives performers an opportunity to stretch their artistic muscles. You don’t normally see a man singing songs from ‘Annie.’” The performers only rehearse a week before the performances. Tickets cost $10 at the door and almost all profits go toward putting on main stage productions.

“It gives an opportunity to see a lot of talents you don’t typically see on the CCP stage doing something truly in their element but also an artistic stretch,” Accetturo said. “If you like Broadway or anything show tunes then “Bending Broadway” is definitely for you.” CCP just received a liquor license so beer and wine are available for purchase at the concession stands. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday performance is at 2:30 p.m. For more, visit carmelplayers.org/.

Jim Lauderdale has hosted the Americana Music Awards since 2002. It seems only fitting since he has long personified music the Americana label. He’s fine with that, too. “That term encompasses the different styles I do, bluegrass, country, rock and soul songs,” Lauderdale said. Lauderdale, a two-time Grammy winner and prolific songwriter, will perform at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel at 8 p.m. March 12. Lauderdale will start the performance with his bluegrass band. He will perform several solo songs from his new album “Soul-Searching Vo1. 1 Memphis/Vol. 2 Nashville,” his 28th album. “It’s half classic sounding soul music, which I did in Memphis, and the other disc is recorded in Nashville,” Lauderdale said of the album. “That is eclectic singer-songwriter style. The show itself will be eclectic that night since I’ll be kicking things off with the Bluegrass Band.” Lauderdale plans to do a lot of songs he collaborated with Robert Hunter, a lyricist who wrote many Grateful Dead songs with Jerry

Warm up with rustic apples and cream Commentary by Ceci Martinez Are there any sweets more evocative than apple desserts? There are many delicious heirloom varieties now in markets and every year there are a dozen of new hybrids. This comforting Rustic Apple treat is as simple as its name; no fuss to make, it doesn’t demand perfection; the more rustic it looks the better!!

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed Directions: Peel different varieties of apples. Core, slice and squeeze a lemon on the apples. Buttered a baking pie plate and lay apples into the dish. In a medium bowl put the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cardamom and butter - stir with a fork or mix with your fingers just until ingredients come together. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the fruit. Bake at 375F for 40 minutes or until top is crisp, golden and fragrant. Serve with a pitcher of cream or good vanilla ice cream.

Being in the throes of winter, there isn’t anything much more comforting than sitting in a

Clam chowder from Langton’s in Carmel. (Photos by Anna Skinner) Get it at Langton’s, Carmel First up is Langton’s clam chowder. The chowder was served piping hot and there was no often common problem of too much potato and not enough clams. The chowder was dense and heavy enough to be a meal if so decided. Not only was the soup phenomenal, but the option of ordering it in a rosemary bread bowl made in house awarded this the perfect winter choice. The bowl had a nice, baked crust on the exterior, with plenty of airy bread on the inside to absorb the chowder.

Tomato basil soup from Rosie’s Place in Noblesville. Get it at Rosie’s Place, Noblesville Being winter, tomato soup is a favorite of cold and sleepy people. Rosie’s Place offers a variety of homemade soups each day. The day I happened to wander in, their soup of the day was tomato basil. The soup was the perfect blend between thin and thick with just the right portion of tomato chunks. I slurped it down without waiting for the steam to abide, it was that good. Their soups do differ daily, so call the café at 770-3322 to clarify what the soup of the day is.

Braised beef chowder from Rail Epicurean Market in Westfield. Get it at Rail Epicurean Market, Westfield I had never heard of braised beef chowder, and was not exactly sure what to expect, but I knew the Rail wouldn’t let me down. They offer unique and tasty soups all the time, and the beef chowder was no exception. The creaminess of the soup was perfect for the chilly day, and the beef practically melted in my mouth. The chives on the top were a nice, colorful touch. The menu changes daily, so be sure to check out their Facebook page, and learn what they will be offering so you’re not surprised.

Tomato artichoke soup from Café Patachou in Carmel. Get it at Café Patachou, Carmel When I wandered in Café Patachou in Clay Terrace on the morn of New Year’s Day, soup was the last thing on my mind. As you would expect, I was yearning for some greasy breakfast food to start the year off right. Yet when I learned the French café served a thick tomato soup with artichokes – of all things to pair it with – I had to try it. There was absolutely no absence of parmesan cheese or croutons to add a little crunch to the thick soup, and the thin strips of artichoke were not too overbearing and added a unique touch. Must I say, it was the perfect breakfast. Bon appétit.

Too sick for work? Commentary by Gerald Mick, M.D. When illness strikes, one of the first questions we ask is “should I stay home?” The answer varies, defamily Medicine pending on symptoms and discomfort. Sometimes we’re able to push through the day with a cold or sore throat, and other times even minor illnesses make us too weak to get out of bed. When the decision isn’t clear, keep these factors in mind to determine if it’s in your—and your co-workers—best interest to stay home. • Fever – A fever indicates you’re contagious. If you have one, it’s best to stay home. Chills and sweats are signs of fever, so take your temperature to be sure. If it’s over 102 degrees F, call your primary care doctor. • Sniffles and cough – While it’s probably okay to go to work with these symptoms, wash hands frequently and cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or shirtsleeve to avoid spreading germs. If a persistent cough is deep and you’re short of breath, call your doctor for evaluation. These could be signs of bronchitis

or pneumonia. • Headache – If your headache includes sensitivity to noise or light, it may be a migraine. Consider staying home if you have migraine symptoms, and call your doctor if headaches become frequent. • Pinkeye – Characterized by redness, white or yellow mucus in the corner of the eye, and matted eyelashes, pinkeye can easily be spread to others. This means calling in sick if you suspect you have it. Consult with your doctor to see if it should be treated with an antibiotic. While minor illnesses are a nuisance, the good news is healthy people generally recover quickly. You’re the best judge of how you feel; trust your instinct and use common sense about when to stay home, and call your doctor if symptoms become more serious. Gerald Mick, M.D., specializes in family medicine and is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians – IU Health North Hospital in Carmel.

2. Reduced risk of cancer – the antioxidant xanthohumol has been proven to fight off cancer 3.

To Casey Lazzara, the name City Hardware has a certain urban chic flair. business Lazzara, events sales associate for Carmel’s Ritz Charles, said her company has exclusive catering rights at City Hardware. The downtown Indianapolis events space, 136 N. Delaware St., is owned by the National Retail Hardware Association. The large space is on the main level of its building. “We picked the name because it’s in the city and we’re actually in the National Retail Hardware Association building,” Lazzara said. “We’re trying to get that name out there.” Ritz Charles put in a proposal and was named the exclusive caterer for the space. Lazzara said the space will accommodate 120 people for some events, like a cocktail party. Lazzara, 31, works in the off-premise catering department for Ritz Charles. Ritz Charles is one of two caters used at the downtown Indianapolis Central Library and Indianapolis Artsgarden. “So this is good because we’ve never had a place downtown we’re exclusive with,” said Lazarra, whose father, Chuck owns, Ritz Charles. “We’re going to a lot of corporate events during the day such as business meetings,” Lazzara said. “We’re also going to focus on

rehearsal dinners, because it’s just a cool little industrial space and modern so it’s relative to today. People my age like that kind of atmosphere. We can maybe have a business after-hours (function) or something like that as well.” Holiday parties are another possibility. Lazzara held a grand open house for business professionals and event planners Feb. 17. Lazzara, a 2006 Ball State graduate with a degree in fashion design and merchandising, will be with Ritz Charles full time 10 years in May. Ritz Charles celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2015.

Letterpress used for art By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Jill Broadhacker uses history and creativity to make art. Owner of Jilly Jack Debusiness signs, she uses letterpress to make art prints that she designs originally on her computer. “I started with offset printed materials, but I’ve always loved letterpress printing and the process, so I switched over to that and just discovered you can buy your own presses and run them yourself,” she said. Broadhacker opened her shop at 254 1st Ave. SW, Suite F, in Carmel in September 2014. She also sells some of her materials online through Etsy. Broadhacker visits schools with her small letterpress so the kids can learn about what she does. In addition to traveling to schools, Broadhacker will be hosting classes in her shop throughout March. There is an adult version, “Pints, Pizza & Posters,” with a bring-your-ownbeer policy, and a 12-and-up class, “Pop, Pizza & Posters.” The group in the class will work more than two hours to create posters using wood and metal type and vintage imagery. “The classes are to try and get people back here,” she said. “We’re trying to get on the

This is why Keith sells so much! “I needed to sell my house and had been using another realtor and company to no avail. After 15 months, I switched to Keith and he had my house sold within a month. He understood my needs, knew what to do about them, and sold the house quick. He knew how to stage it, market it, and check the buyers' background so the deal would not fall through. He was professional and helpful at every step. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to my friends” - Sara (Carmel, IN)

“Keith was more than our realtor. Of course, he handled all of the negotiations and appropriate paper work. But as out of state sellers, our circumstances were more complicated. Keith handled repairs and contactors and many unforeseen problems on our behalf. He was always available, always professional, and we are very grateful for him.” - Randi (Carmel, IN)

Home sales up 2.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Home sellers have benefitted from the continued rise in home sale prices as the number of available real estate homes steadily declines in the nine-county central Indiana region. The average sale price rose 2.1 percent in January 2016 compared to January 2015, while the region also saw an 11.7 percent decline in available homes. Tighter inventory also affected the year’s slow start in pended home sales, which declined 9.5 percent compared to last year. Hamilton County’s average sale price stayed nearly flat compared to last year, now at $271,330. There were approximately 100 fewer

houses on the market, which represented a 6.6 percent decline from last year. Pended sales in the county also dipped 25.6 percent. Low inventory is a trend nationwide, and it can affect the health of the real estate market. The National Association of Realtors’ recent quarterly HOME study found 83 percent of current renters hope to own a home in the future. That demand may spark current homeowners to list their homes and perhaps help spur more sales in 2016. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen with Craftsman style Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a Craftsman-style kitchen, with an open connection to the adjacent living area. 1. The biggest visual impact to the kitchen was creating an opening to the living space with a custom stained-glass detail. 2. The island was expanded to include seating, an upgraded range, and more functional cabinet accessories. 3. Additional cabinetry was added as a feature buffet area with a variety of storage options and even additional countertop space. 4. The Craftsman details are reflected in the cabinet door style, custom stained glass design, glass light fixture above the island, and the warm, natural materials. 5. The rhythm of wall cabinetry emphasizes the two beautiful windows that allow light to flood into the kitchen and adjacent living and dining spaces.

Before Background info: This home in the North Willow Farms neighborhood in Indianapolis was built in 1973. The family was very ready to update and expand their kitchen to match their own personal style!

Before problems: The kitchen was very dated and closed off to the main living space, making it feel smaller than it actually was. The homeowners needed a more open, functional kitchen for their family, that also reflected their love of Craftsman-style aesthetics.

Throne Room of Mari Palace. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Ancient city on the Euphrates Commentary by Don Knebel Mari, near the west bank of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria, was the world’s first planned city. Its ancient records provide unprecedented information about travel times and places of the Biblical Patriarchs. Mari, founded in about 3000 B.C., was disposed within a circular embankment. It grew rich as the center of trade between Babylon and cities to the north and west, including Hazor, later rebuilt by King Solomon. By 1800 B.C., Mari controlled an area extending from the northern reaches of Babylonia to the southern border of what is now Turkey. The city itself, covering more than 150 acres, featured a spectacular palace, occupying more than 300,000 square feet and including about 275 rooms. In 1760 B.C., Babylonian King Hammurabi conquered Mari, burned its palace and took control of the surrounding territory. Six years later, Hammurabi issued a famous code governing the administration of justice in the areas he controlled. The code, which Hammurabi attributed to Babylonian gods, sets out the retributive punishment of an “eye for an eye, a tooth

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.” -Janice H.

for a tooth” that is repeated in the Hebrew Scriptures and later rejected by Jesus. The Mari ruins were buried under the desert sands and forgotten until 1933, when French archaeologists rediscovered the city and began excavations. They uncovered a royal archive of about 15,000 clay tablets with cuneiform writing in the demolished rooms of the palace. Some of the tablets described places associated with Biblical Abraham. Others included prophecies made in the name of the gods, a practice once thought to have originated with the Hebrew prophets. All provided unprecedented information about life in the lands of the Bible during the early second millennium B.C. Mari has been the victim of looting and destruction during Syria’s civil war. Fortunately, what has been learned from its tablets cannot be destroyed.
