Blue Horseshoe to build headquarters in Carmel By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On March 10, representatives from Blue Horseshoe Solutions, the State of Indiana and the City of Carmel held development a joint press conference detailing that Blue Horseshoe Solutions will build a new business headquarters in Carmel. The supply chain logistics company will invest $3.5 million to construct the 11,000-square-foot building on the U.S. 31 corridor at 11590 N Meridian St. Construction is expected to be complete in early 2017. The move will bring up to 70 jobs with an average of $83,000 salary to Carmel by 2020. “For us to acquire talent and the best resources keeping those employees is what’s important to us and where location really comes into play,” said Chris Cason, president of Blue Horseshoe Solutions. “We chose Carmel because of the business environment and it was a place our employees want to live. That’s how we needed to be competitive with talent and bringing in the best people.” Blue Horseshoe Solutions has four other offices worldwide, Columbus, Ohio, Charlotte, N.C., Denver, Colo., and Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and has grown to just under 200 employees.

“We’ve come to a place where we needed to look for a new headquarters,” Cason said. The new building will be three stories tall and Blue Horseshoe Solutions will occupy the top floor and half of the second floor. “It’s important to point out this is another investment along the U.S. 31 corridor,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “Carmel is succeeding and we are really happy (Blue Horseshoe Solutions) is making that investment here. Today’s news is an affirmation that Carmel offers a diverse location and we are excited about what’s happening in Carmel; we are building a place
that can compete with any city in the world.” Jim Schellinger of the State of Indiana Economic Development Dept. attended the press conference and spoke about how he believed Carmel and Brainard were the most visionary he’d seen. “We are very proud to be a part of what is going on here today,” he said. “The State of Indiana has been very good for business growth.” Blue Horseshoe was recognized as an Indiana Company to Watch by the Indiana Small Business Development Center in 2010 and was named one of Indiana’s Best Places to Work by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, among other awards. “Indiana’s business climate and skilled workforce are encouraging significant growth in the tech industry, and I’m proud that Blue Horseshoe is continuing that trend by choosing to expand its headquarters in the Hoosier State,” Gov. Mike Pence stated in a press release. “Last year, the state’s economic development projects within the tech industry increased by 156 percent, with 59 companies committing to create 4,622 high-wage jobs in the coming years. Today’s news is yet another step forward as we work to ensure quality employment for all Hoosiers.” For more, visit bhsolutions.com.
Family of 6, dog safely escape house fire By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com At least eight fire engines were dispatched to a fully involved fire at a large home around 3:30 a.m. March 9 in the 10000 block of Coppergate Drive off of 106th Street public safety in Carmel. More than 50 firefighters were at the scene, which is just south of Crooked Stick Golf Course. Six people —two parents and four children — evacuated the house safely before fire crews arrived after they heard a smoke detector. Their dog also got out safely. Carmel Fire Dept. firefighter Tim Griffin was on duty with Station 42 when he responded to the call. “We were a block away, and we could see visible flames,” he said. “So it was already involved.”
More than 50 firefighters helped put out a blaze in the 10000 block of Coppergate Drive. (submitted photo)
The homeowners said they were awakened by a smoke detector, which Griffin said sends an important lesson to everyone about fire safety preparedness. “Right now is the time of year when everyone is going to change their clocks for Daylight Sav-
ing Time, so when you change your clocks, it’s a great time to check your smoke detectors,” he said. “In a case like this, it was 3:30 in the morning. People are usually sound asleep, so a smoke detector can save lives.” Water was on the fire in just a few minutes, keeping it contained. Because of the large size of the home, Griffin said it took a little bit of time to get the fire completely under control. There were no complications, but stations from as far away as Pike traveled to assist in suppression. “In Carmel, we do have some sizable houses that can create some complications, but we didn’t have any complications with this one,” Griffin said. The case is under investigation and no cause has been identified or reported yet.

Council approves bonds for garages By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council unanimously passed up to $20 million in bonds to build two parking garages for redevelopment the proposed Midtown development after hearing a presentation about several protections in place to avoid putting taxpayers on the hook if the original funding plan doesn’t work out. Corrie Meyer, director of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, said the tax increment finance district should produce $16 million in revenue in 25 years, and $13 million of that will be used for construction of a 308-space and 580-space parking garage. Any money that is left over after construction will be used to help build a public plaza just off the Monon Trail. The $100-million-plus Midtown development is being led by Carmel-based Old Town Development and will be situated along the Monon Trail between the Carmel Arts & Design District and Carmel City Center. “This area is intended to fill the gap and create a more vibrant downtown,” Meyer said. The bond will be sold at an expected interest rate of approximately 4.5 percent. It will be backed by a special benefits tax, which means
if the bond can’t be repaid through TIF funds, a new tax will go into effect. Meyer explained there are several layers of protection that would be used before any new tax would be created: • There’s a guarantee by the developer to complete the projects on time, which means the necessary tax revenue should be generated. If not complete, Old Town would make up the difference. • The parcel components in each building would contribute a payment in addition to taxes, known as PIATT, to cover debt. • Another Old Town project, Green House Cottages, isn’t in Midtown but would contribute TIF money and PIATT to cover debt. • Major tenants such as Allied Solutions can be asked to pay fees to cover debt. • If the other protections aren’t sufficient, the developer itself would guarantee to make up any difference. • If the developer is unable to pay or goes out of business, there’s a reserve account that can be used. • If those other protections aren’t sufficient, the city and the CRC could use other reserve accounts. • If all of those protections fail, then the special benefits tax would go into effect.

Author inspired by a butcher By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com At age 15, Jim Serger began a six-year stretch working at a small convenience store next to Bob Cappel’s butcher shop in Cincinnati. books Serger, now a Carmel resident, watched how Cappel treated people, going out of his way to help customers, coming in on Christmas and Easter if necessary to help customers. “I think all the time, Why do I enjoy shaking hands Serger and why do I enjoy talking to people? Why do I enjoy knowing the background of people? Why do I encourage people?” Serger said. “Why is Jim Serger willing to come to work early and stay a little later? It all goes back to how we’re influenced as teenagers.” Serger, 45, credits Cappel for that positive influence. Serger’s 136-page book called “Next in Line Please” was released Feb. 5. “The book is about positive influencing and young men and young women need that more today than ever before,” Serger said. “They need reassurance that they are doing well. If
they’re not doing well, they need encouragement. “Life is not easy but if you have people that are encouraging, you can do well,” he said.

Serger said Cappel always showed he was interested in him. “He’s a very neat man,” Serger said. “When I told him about writing the book, he said, ‘Why me? Why does anyone want to know about me?’ I said, ‘Bob, I don’t know Bo Jackson or Ken Griffey Jr. You’re the one who impacted my life.’” Serger’s second book, “2000 Miles on Wisdom,” was about customer service, citing Carmel’s Nebo Ridge Bicycles as a shining example.

Meet your leaders: Terry Anker Biggest HCLA takeaway: “Community matters. Learning to connect, freely giving of our own ability and accepting the Anker support and ability of others, is now and has long been the key to human flourishing. HCLA understands this concept and brings others to it.” What impact has the leadership program made on the community? “The impact is both wide and deep. In some cases, the most important element is the broad connectivity. We know each other – or have some shared history, even with strangers. This opens doors and establishes trust in shorthand.” Most valuable lesson learned through HCLA: “With an open mind and heart, one can learn something from almost every other person and experience.” What is your vision for the future of Hamilton Co.? “I imagine individuals, connected and self-supporting, understanding both the role of personal freedom and responsibility as a part of a larger community. Such individuals, I am confident, will be prepared to face whatever challenges – social, environmental, external, or otherwise – that may arise in their time.”
As the Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy celebrates its 25th anniversary, Current is highlighting local leaders who have helped build and sustain the program, which focuses on strengthening our community by developing informed leaders. In June, another class of engaged citizens will join the 600-plus graduates already working to make a difference. Terry W. Anker, HCLA Class of 2014 curriculum dean Hometown: Near Monticello, Ind.

Prasad repeats spelling champ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This time the competition was filled with a little more tension, but the result was the same. achievement Creekside Middle School seventh grader Ashwin Prasad repeated as Hamilton Co. Spelling Bee champion on March 8 at 502 E. Event Centre in Carmel. Prasad will receive an expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. May 22 to 27 to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Prasad correctly spelled pharmaceuticals to win the contest. It was a word he was confident he could spell. Prasad, who didn’t miss any words in the 2015 competition, missed his first championship word, synovial (a type of joint). “I never heard the word before, but the trick was the first letter for me, whether it was a c or s,” Prasad said. “I picked wrong.” However, he got a second chance. “It was harder than last year with the final words,” Prasad said. The three finalists answered every word correctly for 15 minutes. Prasad won on the 32nd round. It took two more rounds to decide second and third place.

Highlands Latin (Carmel) eighth grader Dominic Solomito, from Indianapolis, finished second for the second consecutive year. Enman Schools (Fishers) seventh grader Iman Masood was third. Prasad finished in huge tie for 50th in the 2015 national competition of 285 contestants. “The preliminaries test is the one that caught me,” Prasad said. “I missed the benchmark average by three points.” Prasad plans to return to try for a threepeat in the county spelling bee. “I’m definitely coming back, unless I win the national bee, then I can’t,” Prasad said.

“Where’s Amy?”… I attended a special 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 flag ceremony with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Verizon IndyCar Series driver Ed Carpenter. Carpenter and Brainard rolled up to city hall in a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to officially kick off the event. Carmel became the first Hoosier municipality - beyond the Town of Speedway - to raise a 100th Running flag ahead of the milestone race. Brainard presented Carpenter with an official proclamation before the flag-raising ceremony, and Carpenter gave the City of Carmel huge kudos for the honor.

Drama therapy takes center stage with the Roundabout Playback Troupe By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com While getting on stage may be frightening to some, for others it is therapeutic. One group of actors will cover story showcase the power of performance through two shows at the Monon Community Center in March in honor of Disability Awareness Month. The Roundabout Playback Troupe, an award-winning acting group that includes adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities as well as adults without disabilities, formed in 2014. Michelle Yadon, the MCC’s inclusion director, created the troupe after finding success with a similar organization. “I started an inclusive playback troupe down in Bloomington when I was working down there. It was really powerful,” she said. “Playback can be done in a therapy group. It can be done as advocacy. It can be done as performance. I wanted to do it as performance and advocacy.” Playback theatre is an interactive improvisational performance. The troupe’s shows March 18 and 19 will feature monologues written by people with disabilities in the first act and playback improvisation in the second act. Audience members will share their stories, and the group will act them out. “The show is called ‘I See You,’ meaning we see past people’s disabilities,” Yadon said. “We see people for who they are. It’s to celebrate people’s strengths, uniqueness, their stories and how we’re all one and the same.” The monologues seek to empower those with disabilities by focusing on their abilities. “There is one monologue by a woman who has been a baker for 16 years. It’s her dream job. Her monologue is about employment and how to get your dream job. It’s really beautiful,” Yadon said. “There is a monologue with two women who are best friends. One has a disability and one does not. They’re getting an apartment together after one of the women graduates from high school. It’s about independence and friendships.” The audition-based group works to cel-

ebrate the differences of its individual members while operating as a cohesive unit. “It’s really beautiful, because when we’re all together, we’re just completely equals,” Yadon said. Music director for the group and troupe member Giannina Hoffmeister said she feels all participants get something different out of participating. She was approached by Yadon to see if she had interest in assisting and jumped at the opportunity. “What the group has drawn out in me is a personal journey,” she said. “I’m learning about myself, and I’m 73 years old. It’s as if we’re bonded.” The group has come a long way in its short history, recently winning an honor from the In-

diana Governor’s Council for Disability Awareness and the Indiana Parks and Recreation Association Inclusion Program of Excellence Award. “The last couple of weeks of rehearsals have really been blowing me away,” Yadon said. “They’ve been extremely powerful because of the connection the troupe members are having with each other and the understanding that they’re having of what the tellers are saying.” The adults with disabilities develop and learn a myriad of skills from their participation in improvisation, Yadon said. “The troupe (members) themselves have broken stereotypes. The leadership people have been taking has been awesome. Just
recently many of the members have been stepping forward and leading the warm up or leading the cool down. It’s been really great to see that assertiveness and leadership build,” Yadon said. “A lot of it is growth of selfawareness, self-determination, abstract thinking, communication skills and then a greater understanding of self and the community.”
‘I see you’ performances When: 6 p.m. March 18 and 19 Where: Monon Community Center, 1235 Central Park Dr. E., Carmel. Cost: $5. Tickets available at the Monon Community Center. Info: 848-7275.

GOP: Swing and a miss The Republican Party leadership has fully blown an opportunity to take down presidential candidate Donald Trump. It could have been a nice, fat softball pitched right over the plate, but no. Instead of having failed former presidential contender Mitt Romney call out Trump for being a “phony” and a “fraud,” it should have had the guy endorse Trump. Yes, endorse him! That would have ended the billionaire’s candidacy right then and there. It should be noted that those of you that support Trump comprise a bunch of “suckers,” according to Romney. Of course, this is the same Romney who gut-punched President Barack Obama in the first of three debates the last time we all were subjected to these gymnastics. He had the sitting leader of the free world on the mat and woozy, and true to Republican form, Romney let Obama up and, well, the rest is history. Suckers, indeed. This is why people like Trump are willing to fight; no one else will. The brass at the Republican National Committee ought to be ashamed of itself for going against the will of the voters. They love to talk about the vaunted Republican brand, but the last decent semblance of a brand the party had, courtesy of former President Ronald Reagan, was churned up and poured into the sewer by the “Bush Dynasty.” Brand? Please! It’s stunning that the GOP is not embracing Trump, the guy that lowered his brand to associate with the national agenda. Bulletin to the GOP leadership: Trump not only is your friend, at this point he is your only friend when it comes to the general election.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Loves kept
Commentary by Terry Anker
We don’t know what we have until it’s gone. At least, this is how the cliché goes. We live with the routine and pedestrian annoyances of everyday living rarely taking stock of the relative value of the known commodity. We want – nay, demand – change! Tired of a losing season or two we excommunicate the quarterback vesting our hopes and expectations in the unknown. Then, in the absence of the exiled warrior, we wax poetic about the days of yore and sing songs of his heroic exploits in foreign lands. Our recent Manning obsession only reinforces the fickle nature of our admiration. From a distance, it seems, he has become idealized. Likewise, this week past saw the passing of Mrs. Ronald Reagan. Liberal television news anchors who once seethed at the perceived uppity, little woman are now extolling Nancy’s virtue. Where once she was called shallow and obsessed with the frivolous, those same voices now proclaim the passing of “fashion icon” and elegant model of class
and behind-the-scenes supportive leadership. Rose-colored glasses have been worn by humans for centuries. Rarely do we love anything from beginning to end. We tire of our favorite foods, our best girls, and our precocious toddler. Each, in turn, will drift from its lauded status into something that ranges from fatigue to outright irritation. But, what’s the difference? How can the same action be cute one minute and contemptuous the next? We mature, hopefully, throughout our lives. Our tastes and proclivities change. And, our needs and cravings accommodate that progression. But, do we pause to consider whether our push for change is legitimate or simply reflective of the fickle nature of a wondering spirit? Or, is it inevitable that we expect to make change AND keep things the same? Kudos to loves lost, but more to loves kept. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK “We are all in the same boat, in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.” – G.K. Chesterton
While I would love to regale you with a parable of sub-par parenting or a tale of teenage text-addicts, I’m humor instead going to talk about my husband Doo. And for once, he’s not in the dog-house for impulse-buying a car, his ADD isn’t currently driving me to meds and his neariconic tendencies to leave dirty dishes in the sink rather then move them a mere three inches to the dishwasher hasn’t caused any recent tiffs. He may not be the best spouse in the world, but he’s the best man for me. Here’s why. Yesterday I received some heartbreaking news; the kind that kicks you in the gut and makes you forget about all the stupid first-world problems you’ve been obsessing over. As I sat in my classroom trying to keep my composure, the first person I thought to call was Doo. I needed to hear his voice. When I explained what had happened, his response was, “Babe I’ve got the kids. Go.” That may not sound like much, but the fact that he didn’t even consider the extraordinary amount of work we had on tap for the weekend (kitchen remodel) nor the insane carpool schedule (SAT, guard, dance and a birthday party) as impediments to letting me be with my family, had me sobbing at my desk. (Luckily it was lunch; no student had to witness their usually stoic teacher completely losing her shtick!) I got through the afternoon, went to the gym for almost three hours to postpone being alone, and then finally headed home. When I walked in the door and saw my husband standing there covered in drywall dust, I burst into tears again and went right into his arms. This time he said nothing, and just let me talk and cry and wipe snot on his T-shirt. When my oldest asked what was going on, Doo replied, “In a minute. Mom just needs to be.” That’s why I love him. Doo gets me, in craziness and in sadness. No, he may not always be the best husband, but he’s the best one for me. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Editor, In March 2006, Indiana experienced a major change in its sunlight schedule when Eastern Daylight Time was adopted. Now, 10 years later, statistics are painting a dismal picture for Indiana’s students and our state’s educational future. Indiana teens have the second highest suicide attempt rate in the U.S. and the highest death rate due to car crashes. Test results indicate scholastic performances are plummeting and our schools are experiencing a major teacher shortage crisis.
Is Eastern Time’s sunlight schedule a primary culprit in all of this? Yes! The American Academy of Pediatrics predicts these very results for students forced to live on adverse sunlight schedules. We don’t have to make a choice between the economy and citizens’ well-being. The answer is to restore Indiana to its correct Central Time Zone with Central Daylight Time. Sue Dillon, President of the Central Time Coalition, Carmel Read the full letter at currentincarmel.com
Five simple things to do to prepare your home for sale It’s that time of year again and everywhere I go lately, friends and acquaintances are asking what steps they should take if they are thinking of selling their home this Spring? Here are the five keys to concentrate on: • De-clutter. Have trash bags and boxes handy. Start cleaning out closets, storage areas, garage etc. Sort it, discard it, donate it and if it’s something you want to keep but don’t need right away, pack it in one of those boxes. Label the boxes neatly and store them. When you put things back in the closet use all the same type of hangers, they don’t have to be expensive ones, just all the same. Organize your closet by like items, i.e. pants, shirts, dresses, suits. Face them all the same direction and section by color. You’ll be surprised at how attractive it will look, like the difference between shopping at Goodwill and Macy’s. • Clean everything. Baseboards, light fixtures, including the bulbs, dust the fan blades, the vents, blinds & windows. Don’t
forget your cabinets, refrigerator, & oven. Even wipe out the inside of your washer and dryer, (I had a buyer get very grossed out by what looked like mold around the inside lid of a washer!) • Touch up paint inside your home and out, and re-caulk if needed. Trim bushes, rake the yard, pick up debris. Sweep your porch and get rid of cobwebs. • Gather all of your appliance manuals & maintenance records. Make a list of improvements you’ve done to the home, & when. • Finally, go through the house and take digital pictures, upload them and take a critical look. Does it look appealing? When you look at pictures, you will usually see things you normally walk right by…maybe it looks crowded, something is crooked or really doesn’t belong. These “simple” steps will add value to your home while costing you nothing but your time & elbow grease, a worthwhile trade!

YOUR GUIDE TO FEELING REFRESHED THIS SPRING March 15, 2016
Grow your own tomatoes and peppers from seed Commentary by Noah Herron Warm weather is right around the corner and it’s time to plan your garden. One thing people neglect to do is start their own toGaRdeNING mato and pepper seeds a couple months before our last frost date. The time is now to pick out the varieties you want in your garden and start the seeds indoors. It doesn’t take much to care for a few seedlings other than giving them a sunny window and enough water. Why go with the same old boring Bonnie varieties at the garden center (Better Boy, Big Boy, Celebrity, etc.) when there are thousands of heirloom varieties that offer better taste and vigor? TOMATOES There are several different types of tomatoes available for home gardeners. I suggest growing a few types that offer different benefits. The most common tomato to grow is a beefsteak, which is great for sandwiches, BLTs and burgers. Roma tomatoes are excellent for salsas, dips and sauces. Lastly, include a cherry tomato, which are great for fresh eating or salads. Below are some of my personal favorites, but I encourage you to try varieties you’ve never heard of. Noah’s Favorites: • Beefsteak: Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, German Giant, Crnkovic Yugoslavian • Roma: San Marzano, Federle, Napoli • Cherry: SunSugar, Sweetie, Black Cherry, Blondkopfchen PEPPERS Peppers are pretty simple with not too many options. Try to include at least six pepper plants to make sure there are enough fresh peppers all summer and fall. The most popular pepper is the sweet bell which is excellent for salads and slicing. Also elongated sweet peppers make great stuffers and stir fry. If you like hot there are many options depending on how hot. Starting with hot wax, jalapenos, Anaheim chillies, cayenne, habanero, ghost and carolina reapers being the hottest! Ghost peppers can reach 1 million Scovilles while Carolina Reapers

can reach 1.5 million! Noah’s Favorites: • Sweet Bell: California Wonder, Orange King, Yolo Wonder • Sweet Elongated: Sweet banana, Beaver Dam, Pepperoncini Italian • Hot Peppers: Early Jalapeno, Cubanelle, Anaheim Chili, Orange Habanero Starting Seeds Once you have your varieties selected you’ll need a good seed starting soil and some containers. Plant a couple seeds per container, about 1/4” deep, and cover lightly with soil. Keep soil moist but not damp at all times while growing inside. When seeds are germinating keep in a warm location without light. Using a heat mat keeps soil warm and increase germination rates. Once your seeds have sprouted move to a sunny window and keep there until ready to transplant outdoors. If both seeds germinated remove the weakest plant so each container has only one seedling.

At least that’s what OUTdOOR lIvING it feels like after a solid string of warm, sunny days that seem to percolate our enthusiasm for life and improvements.

I love endorphins! Refresh your outdoor space Many landscapes and outdoor living spaces begin to look tired after several years of use and snowy winters.

It’s amazing how often we employ that strategy to rescue tired spaces that had been targeted for replacement. Push those saved dollars to something more exciting. Nothing says rejuvenation like shiny pots with a controlled chaos of plants screaming for attention. Think BIG. Small pots get lost. Here’s another brilliant idea that will separate you from the ordinary … oversized mailbox and coach lampposts.

Hikers Challenge set By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Hoosiers Hikers Council members figured what better way to celebrate Indiana’s 200th statehood anniversary fITNess than to hike 200 miles in the state. “The challenge is hike 200 miles on natural surface hiking trails,” said Mark Stuttgen, chairman of the Bicentennial Hikers Challenge and HHC board member. The challenge began on Jan. 1 and will last until June 30, 2017. Stuttgen, a Martinsville resident, said hikers must travel those 200 miles on at least 10 of the trails on the Bicentennial Trail List. The list is on hoosierhikerscouncil.org. “You can go out and experience trails you’ve never hiked on before,” Stuttgen said. “It’s a great way to explore Indiana. Two hundred miles gives you good reason to hike more than you normally do.” Hikers will keep a log of the miles they’ve traveled on each trail. “It’s all on the honor system,” Stuttgen said. While supplies last, hikers that reach the goal will receive a free Indiana Bicentennial patch and an electronic certificate showing completion. “It’s more of a thing to say I’ve done this, and I was part of the challenge, more than anything else,” Stuttgen said. “It’s not so much

of a race as personal experience. The idea is to get you out there and hike somewhere you haven’t before.” There are more than 100 trails on the list, including Ritchey Woods in Fishers. Stuttgen said more than 500 individuals have registered so far on the website. There is no fee, and it is not necessary to be an HHC member. Stuttgen said his non-profit organization promotes natural trail usage. “This Bicentennial Challenge is another way of promoting trails,” Stuttgen said. The Hoosiers Hikers Counsel builds natural surface hiking trails. “There are no man-made materials, no rocks or gravel or blacktop,” Stuttgen said. “They are typically narrow trails.”
The pause that refreshes Commentary by Mindi Epstein If you are like most people, you may be distracted by other thoughts as you read this article. Many of us have become healTh so accustomed to juggling multiple balls and thoughts at the same time, that the familiar intensity of multitasking and multi-thinking feels normal. Maintaining this level of hyper-awareness keeps us poised and ready to react. It also wears us down. Day after day of living in preparation for fight or flight takes its toll, leading to physical and mental ailments we have come to accept as natural to the human condition. Our breath is the bridge between the conscious and subconscious; between the busyness of the external world and the stillness of our inner selves. This is where healing and rejuvenation begin. Taking care of ourselves is an inside job. Child’s Pose, for example, is a posture of self-care and innocence. We begin by kneeling on the ground, settling the torso between the thighs and resting the forehead on the earth

A fine-weather drink Commentary by Anna Skinner With fine weather days rolling around more often, some may be eyeing the booze that just screams spring. The Local’s White Sangria was one such drink. Created with sauvignon blanc, St. Elder elderflower liqueur and soda water, the drink had a unique combination of slightly fizzy paired with the dryness of the white wine and the natural sweetness from the elderflower liqueur. Fresh fruit is muddled below the ice of the wine drink, and sipping on this delicacy had me yearning to be on a patio or near some sort of body of water soaking up the rays. The fruity sweetness brings out the spring flavors, but the wine tones it down so the drink is not overly sweet. I did not feel like I would be nursing a headache later that night from enjoying the tasty beverage. The drink was flirty and cool and is versatile for spring or summer. Once The Local opens up the patio seating, I’d put money on the White Sangria being one of the more frequently ordered drinks. Overall, it was a very refreshing, exuberant spring drink.
WHITE SANGRIA

DISPATCHES Best weather apps – Spring is just around the corner and it will likely bring some stormy weather. These are some of the best weather apps to try and they are all free: 1. Yahoo Weather – this app displays a great summary on the first page 2. Weather Underground – this is a good all-around app for accuracy and ease of use 3. AccuWeather – this app is great for local predictions but has a lot of technical data people may not need Source: BottomLinePersonal.com Money saving garden greens – Salad greens such as arugula, Swiss chard and spinach can be potential money savers if grown at home. Other veggies can be difficult to grow or maintain, but these are easy and long lasting. Plant seeds each week during growing season to ensure a season-long supply of them. When harvesting, use the outer leaves so the plant can keep growing. With these methods, you will have fresh greens all summer long. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
Keep nails clean – Doing a lot of gardening in the spring brings with it a lot of dirt under your nails. To prevent that from happening, try scratching a bar of soap before heading outside. The soap should prevent dirt from lodging under your nails and also makes washing up easier. Source: LifeHacker.com K-cup seed starters – If you use a lot of coffee K-cups, here’s a handy way to recycle some of them. Remove the grounds – they make great compost. Then add some potting soil and you have perfect seed starters. The mesh strainer at the bottom of each cup allows water to drain through and soil to stay put. Plant your seeds and cover with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Seeds will sprout in a few days. Source: FreshEggsDaily.com
Regrow green onions – Green onions can be easily regrown for an endless supply. Take the leftover roots from a bunch and place them in a jar with some water. In about a week, you’ll see new growth at the tops that you can use for a variety of recipes. Source: TheKitchn.com
Coffee grounds compost – High in nitrogen, coffee grounds benefit crops such as leafy greens, squash and tomatoes. The decomposing coffee grounds create beneficial fungus that fights off non-beneficial mold and fungal colonies in the soil. Source: FreshEggsDaily.com
Storing fresh ginger – The best way to store fresh ginger is to grate the entire root. Arrange teaspoons of the grated ginger on a sheet of parchment paper in the freezer. Once the portions are frozen, place them in a freezer bag for easy access when needed. Source: MSN.com Seed soaking – Spring planting season is almost here. Before planting seeds, try this. Soak the seeds in warm water for 12 to 24 hours before sowing. This will help them to root, grow faster and be stronger.

The wax will repel water and oil so you’re not left with spots or fingerprints. Source: WonderHowTo.com

Perennial herbs – If you want to grow fresh herbs but don’t want the hassle of planting seeds every spring, there are some herbs that are perennials – they grow back each spring, even in colder climates. Chives, thyme and mint will all regrow the next season. They are also very low maintenance plants. Keep mint out of direct sunlight in hot climates. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
Commentary by Vicky Earley Spring is the ideal time to take an honest inventory of what is working and what isn’t with your indoor décor. INTeRIORs A designer’s secret for objectively assessing a space is to take a photograph of the room. If an item does not work, simply let it go. Needless to say, fresh color and spring go hand in hand. If your foundation pieces such as sofas and chairs are neutral, you can change the look and feel of your room as easily as changing jewelry. Strong red pillows on a gray sofa look amazing during the cold winter months, but if those pillows are substituted with a coral for the spring and summer months, your home will have a lighter, breezier feel. The new fabrics for spring are arriving daily and there are fabrics that bear names such as Fresh Butter, Poppy, Confetti, and Diva Blue. These can’t help but contribute to the celebration of spring’s arrival! A couple of pillows made of a color named Sea Spray or Candy Store and a few fresh accessories will escort a home all the way until the leaves start turning in the fall. Spring is the perfect time to paint. A

fresh, new color on the walls guarantees that you will feel like stepping livelier. Even a fresh coat of a color that works helps to brighten the feel of a room. If you aren’t afraid of painting yourself, throw open the windows and spread the drop cloths! Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

Try these spring salads
GORGONZOLA FRUIT SALAD
FRISÉE SALAD
ANTIPASTO SALAD
Commentary by Anna Skinner Spring is a time for more than cleaning; it is for freshening and preparing our bodies for summer and all those poolside afternoons, so what better way to liven up your lunch than with a spring salad? I stopped at local restaurants around Hamilton Co. to try the best combinations that would boost me up for the change of season.
$8, serves 1
Small, serves 1: $5.75 Large, serves 2-3: $9.25
Donatello’s Italian Restaurant, 9 W Main St., Carmel, had the perfect sweet and savory combo with the pairing of cheese, fresh fruits and lettuce. This was one of those rare combinations where something tasted delicious and was also healthy for you. There was a pop of color with granny smith apples, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and other fruits, as well as a complimentary tang from the onion and lettuce counterparts. The sweet raspberry dressing finished this salad beautifully.
$9, serves 1
The Local, 14655 Gray Rd., Westfield, had a very light, refreshing option for a spring salad choice. Goat cheese and macerated strawberries provide a smooth, sweet pair to the walnuts and the frizzy, slight bitterness of the frisée lettuce leaves. The tarragon vinaigrette is made in house and the subtle dressing didn’t pose any sogginess of oversaturation. The tastes mingled together quite finely and did not provide any overly aggressive flavors.

When people filter into Bazbeaux, 111 W Main St., Carmel, they are usually looking for pizza and not salad. Yet I decided to try the antipasto salad and was not disappointed. This salad is different than your typical salad as there are more meats, cheese and unique vegetables than lettuce. It has a tangy, zestful flavor. Customers can pick their dressing, and I chose the balsamic vinaigrette because it paired wonderfully with the vinaigrette shrimp, salami, prosciutto, pepperoni, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm and onions.

CHS grad Petersen to perform in ‘Newsies’ By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since she was 10, Becca Petersen has been heavily involved in musical theatre. Petersen began dancing broadway at Performer’s Edge Dance Studio and went on to participate in the performing arts offered at Carmel High School. She realized she wanted to pursue theatre and dance and graduated from Brigham Young University in 2014 with a degree in music dance theatre. She has performed at the Muny in St. Louis and Musical Theatre Wichita. She moved to New York to pursue her dream job and now the 24-year-old will be returning near to her hometown, performing as an understudy in the national tour of the Broadway hit “Newsies.” The performances will take place at Butler University’s Clowes Memorial Hall from March 15-20 at varying times. “Newsies” follows the true story of Jack Kelly and the Newsboys, and the real news strike in 1899 in New York City. “What made me want to pursue this as a career is whenever I got the chance to go see theatre, I felt so overwhelmed with all these emotions and felt so happy,” Petersen said. “What makes me want to perform is being on stage and being part of such an amazing production gives me an opportunity to give that same feeling to the audience. I think theatre can be incredibly uplifting and really special, and that’s why I love to do it.” Petersen has never performed as an understudy before, but she enjoys the challenge of the change. As an understudy, if any of the performers get sick or are on vacation, Petersen will get to go in. She must keep up with the roles of two girl ensemble parts and two principal parts. “It’s my first time being a swing, and it’s a totally different experience than being in the show every night because you are expected to keep up with all choreography and go on at fly in any moment,” she said. “It’s not just remembering one role, it’s remembering four. Being a swing is a challenge of itself, and I love doing it. Understudying these principal roles (in ‘Newsies’) has been neat because I’m also a dancer, so having new experiences and also having to take on these lead roles and make them my own is helping me gain

experience.” Petersen said so far, she has enjoyed living the life of an auditioning New York performer and, as of lately, living on the road since January for the national tour of “Newsies.” “It has been such a neat experience living on the road and living out of a suitcase and traveling each week to a new city and checking out the hotspots in each city and checking out what makes it unique,” Petersen said. “It has been one big family, everyone is so supportive and loving, and we spend all day together. We have the best times, and

SUPERHERO The story of a man called Jesus
“Where’s Amy?” … I had an exciting opportunity to attend The Center for the Performing Arts Founders Circle donor reception before seeing artistic director and Songbook ambassador Michael Feinstein live in concert. Guests who attended the reception were treated to complimentary beverages and hor d’oeuvres before Feinstein captured the hearts of everyone with his spectacular Broadway tunes and crowd favorites. The Center has always strived to welcome, engage, inspire and transform through compelling performing arts experiences in a world-class environment. Thank you Tania Castroverde Moskalenko and her hardworking staff for continuing to bring the best artists from around the world to beautiful Palladium. I look forward to hearing about the upcoming 2016-2017 season announcement in late April.

CHS show choirs to display talents By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School’s show choirs have been on the road displaying their talents the last several weeks from Alabama to Indianapolis to Chicago. music Now, they come home to share it with the community. An Evening with Ambassadors and Accents will be held at 7 p.m. March 18-19 at CHS Dale E. Graham Auditorium. The Ambassadors, an ensemble of boys and girls, had won three Grand Champions entering into its final competition. The all-female Accents concluded with a second place award followed by two Grand Champion trophies. “It’s been an incredibly successful season,” CHS choir director Kathrine Kouns said. “It’s really rare that any high school show choir program would have one let alone two ensembles bring home Grand Championship trophies at almost every single week they go out. We have not signed them up for easy competition where they go and collect a trophy. We’ve made them work for it.” Ashley Otero, a senior with the Ambassadors, has enjoyed the variety. “We go anywhere from pop songs to jazz,” Otero said. “A lot of them are mash-ups. We base our set on one song, ‘Come Sail Away,’ and we make a story out of that song. We take you on journey.” Otero said the audiences have responded well to it. “I’m excited to perform it for our community

because they are the ones who have always supported us,” Otero said. Senior Emily Urbanski, in her second year with the Ambassadors, said she loves the set. “This year is different than anything I’ve ever worked with,” Urbanski said. “The arrangements that JB (choir director John Burlace) has put together are phenomenal. I get excited every time we get to sing them. It makes each performance exciting. You might feel something different or act differently to a different note or chord. That’s a really cool experience. It’s always changing a little bit.” Junior Betsy Sandifer, a member of Accents, said the theme is centered on the concept of playing games. “It’s very light-hearted and fun,” Sandifer said.

Kishman performs as McCartney By Zach Dunkin • news@currentzionsville.com Tony Kishman has never met Sir Paul McCartney –“I came real close a few times” – but Sir Paul has caught Kishman’s music act. And he liked it. “He said in a newspaper writeup that ‘the guy who plays me is very talented and I wish him well,’ ” Kishman said, considered by Beatlemaniacs as the best McCartney look-alike/sound-alike. Patrons at the record-setting “Classical Mystery Tour” concerts last year and in 2012 at Conner Prairie will remember Kishman as “Paul” in the Beatles tribute group that also starred in the “Beatlemania” hit Broadway musical and tour. Kishman will return to Hamilton County on March 18 at The Warehouse in Carmel in “An Intimate Evening with the Music of Paul McCartney.” A long-time Beatles fan, Kishman said McCartney was his favorite with George Harrison running a close second. Kishman said he learned most of his McCartney-isms while studying Beatles movies and live performance footage at “Beatle School” in preparation for the “Beatlemania” musical. “I would never have guessed it when I was a kid, or a teenager growing up, that I was going to be able to get up and perform as a ‘Paul McCartney,’ and convince an audience that they were going to see Paul McCartney,”

Warehouse adds new seats By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s The Warehouse has a new look with more comfortable seats. The final piece was adding venues the theatre-style seats, just about a half-hour before the doors opened for the March 4 show with Rickie Lee Jones. Heather Ramsey Clark, owner and president of The Warehouse, said the renovations took about four weeks. “Our contractor is outstanding, he always does a great job for us,” Clark said. “We were grabbing the chairs at the last minute and it was wonderful to see people actually use them and enjoy the facility in a whole new way.” Clark said video monitors have been added on each side of the stage to credit The Warehouse sponsors or for video clips performers want to run with their shows. A barn facade has been added to the front of the stage, which has been lifted about eight inches. The seating capacity remains 150. “This provides a much more comfortable experience for the guest,” Clark said. Laurie Campbell, The Warehouse chief operations officer, said the renovations started

with the need to upgrade the seating. “When we found chairs that we liked (with cup holders) and that were going to work for the venue we found out we needed a little more room,” Campbell said. “So we had to move all of our walls to meet the (fire) codes. We have pretty much overhauled the whole interior.” There are some other noticeable changes. “We laid out a new merchandise booth because all our national acts come with their own merchandise,” Clark said. The bar has been redesigned in the same space it was occupied. “We upgraded the menu as well,” Clark said. The Warehouse also recently revamped its website (liveforthemusic.com).

Energy drink dangers – Energy drinks can be extremely dangerous because of their high levels of sugar and caffeine. An average 16 oz. drink can have as much as 160 mgs of caffeine. This is the equivalent of four cans of soda. It can also contain as much as 13 teaspoons of sugar. That’s almost one-quarter cup of sugar in each can. Many teenagers are skipping meals and choosing energy drinks instead. There are no laws prohibiting energy drinks so parents need to monitor their teens’ consumption.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, 110 W. Main St., already stands out compared to business other hair salons in Carmel. The tattooed stylists are more “punk rock” than “pageant queen” in their appearance. One of the owners is a musician/manager who has worked with bands such as Korn, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine and Sublime. But now, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is looking for another way to stand out in its field. The salon has applied for a beer/wine license and will begin serving those alcoholic beverages free of charge to guests. “It just makes our customers feel special and makes the entire visit an experience,” Coowner and Stylist Tanya Foster said. Foster said if you travel to Los Angeles, it’s common to have a glass of champagne while shopping or getting your hair cut or styled. In California, a license isn’t required, but in Indiana, a business can’t serve alcohol without a license, even if they give away the product. Like many other salons, Foster said her business was giving wine to customers not knowing it wasn’t allowed. The staff never got in trouble, but she wanted to be “by the book,”
so the business applied for the license. Foster said they will never charge for drinks, but they do monitor consumption. It’s all about of making the customers feel comfortable, Foster said. She said her staff knows how to cut and style hair, but first and foremost, they know how to take care of people. “We’re a group of misfits, tattooed, totally out-there people that learned to be incredibly professional and treat people well, so anybody, whether it’s a hair dresser or a client, when they walk through this door, they feel like they fit in here,” she said. Nine years ago, Foster, 48, founded the first location of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in Fishers along with musician Mike "Cheez" Brown and business guru Megan Crahan. Another store opened at 96th Street and Meridian Street, but when the lease was up, they decided to move up to Carmel one year ago this May. In April 2015, a location in Fullerton, Calif., was opened with a business partnership with Ajay Popoff, lead singer of the band Lit. Another location is likely in Westfield in the next year. “It’s overflow,” Foster said. “We are starting to outgrow each location. Although we will probably open a location in Fountain Square.”

Professional attire: Yay or nay? Commentary by Beverly Randolph I so enjoy feedback to my articles, and I want to take this opportuetiquette nity to share one in particular. After reading it, what do you think? Dear Beverly: Just a note to say that I read your article in Current in Carmel regarding social skills; I graduated twice from Marian University (then Marian College) and am presently working as a public health nurse. After reading your article, I have another item to add. That is appearance. Naturally, everyone looks their best when going to an interview; it is in the work place that your appearance becomes a social issue. In our department, we are now allowed to wear jeans to work, in the clinic or out on a home visit. I don't agree with this new intervention. To me, appearance speaks highly of your personality. For example, in the clinic setting, if two nurses come out into the waiting room, both wearing RN name tags, one wearing skinny jeans and a T-shirt, the other slacks and a lab coat, which of these do you (in your own mind) hold more respect for? This goes in any office or work place. A uniform of sorts often commands more respect, and the people wearing such act more accordingly, for the most part. Just my two cents worth. –Cece Dear Cece: Thank you taking the time to provide feedback and asking my opinion. It appears that we have much in common. My late maternal grandmother also was a nurse
named Cecelia as well as at Marian University. Like it or not, people judge one another, including the way we dress. It is up to human resources and management to communicate what is acceptable dress, or not, as well as to reinforce it. In my own mind, and as a former seconddegree nursing student with Marian University for St.Vincent Health, along with observing nurses most of my life due to my family members having a wide range of medical issues, I would respect both RNs. However, right or wrong, I would perceive the RN dressed in slacks and lab coat as having more authority, education and experience and hope she would be my nurse. I agree with you in that uniforms command more. When conducting medical etiquette and dental office etiquette training, I advocate professional dress. Major studies do indicate that the way we dress impacts our performance as well as how others perceive us, including that of nurses. Do you have any etiquette dilemmas? Share them and any other etiquette questions you have. Beverly Randolph, MA, is the founder and director of The Protocol School of Indianapolis and a certified Business Etiquette, Children’s Etiquette and International Protocol Consultant.

Blueprint for Improvement: Old-world basement transformation Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create an open space that functioned well for the family, while bringing in elements from the outdoors. 1. New cabinetry, countertops, and light fixtures gave the space an updated look they desired. 2. A large island and window seat were installed providing ample seating for family and friends. 3. Wood beams were added throughout adding warmth and architectural features to the space. 4. The traditional fireplace front was replaced with large natural stone that extended to the ceiling. 5. Natural elements were carried throughout, including custom barn doors and weathered wainscoting. 6. The space was complete with new flooring throughout and cosmetic updates to the joining bathroom.
Before Background info: Built in 2001, this Carmel home in the Lynnwood Subdivision lacked the function and style the homeowners desired. After four years of making the space work, the homeowners were ready for a basement that fit their needs.
Before problems: The existing space appeared dark and closed off. It was outdated and did not function well for the family. There was no visual interest and the space felt like a typical basement. The homeowners desired a space they could utilize with family and friends and enjoy spending time in.

Aging: The new place Commentary by Lorene Burkhart After the sorting and weeping, it’s time to move on to the new, smaller residence. This might be an apartment with Aging no extra services (more likely chosen by the 70-75 still active age group), or it might be a retirement community with independent living as well as health services such as assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care. Locating the retirement community that suits you best can be a lengthy process, if you visit all of them. If you have the time, it can be fun and informative. Making a checklist of what is important to you will help as you make the visits. Here are some ideas of questions to ask: • Is it a rental or do you buy in? If there is a buy in, how much does it cost and what are the terms? • What services are provided with your monthly payment? Even if you are a buyer, there is still a monthly payment. How much is it and what does it include? If it includes meals, how much is allowed per month and does it accrue from month-to-month if you don’t use all of it?
• While you are there, take a look at the menu to get an idea of the food they serve. Health services are usually a priority to the elderly. What are they and what is the cost? If fitness is a priority and you enjoy swimming, is there a pool? Do they offer professional trainers and a variety of classes? • If you have a car, is there a garage and do you pay extra for it? If you don’t drive, is there transportation for medical appointments, shopping and services? • Are there planned opportunities for socializing? • If you enjoy attending concerts and programs offered in the community, is transportation provided? • Take a tour of the facilities and the grounds. Can you visualize living there? If you enjoy being outdoors for walks and sitting in the sunshine, are there places available?
Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.

Port of Hamburg, Germany (Photo by Don Knebel)
Hamburg: Beatles and burgers Commentary by Don Knebel Hamburg, Germany, is one of the most pleasant cities in Western Europe, with more bridges over its canals than Venice and travel Amsterdam combined and 50 percent of its area in parks and water. The city’s name is remembered every day by millions of people around the world. Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany, was founded by Charlemagne in 808 along the Elbe River about 63 miles upstream from the North Sea. Hamburg became a tax-free city in 1189, and its large port became one of the most important in Europe. In 1241, Hamburg joined with Lübeck and other trading cities to form the Hanseatic League. Until the unification of Germany in 1871, Hamburg was an independent city-state and is now a state all by itself, with a population of about 1.8 million. Its massive city hall, with 647 rooms, is the home of one of Germany’s 16 state parliaments. Like other port cities, Hamburg became famous for its ladies of the night, who plied their trade along the Reeperbahn, sometimes called
Germany’s “most sinful mile.” Until it closed in the 1980s, the Reeperbahn featured a six-story brothel, the largest in Europe. During the early 1960s, the Beatles, then unknown to the world, played in the clubs along the Reeperbahn and John Lennon once said, “I might have been born in Liverpool – but I grew up in Hamburg.” Beatles-Platz, a circular plaza near the Reeperbahn paved to look like a vinyl record, honors the Beatles’ days in Hamburg. Many Germans coming to the United States in the 19th century left from Hamburg. In the New World they recreated the “Hamburg steaks,” made from ground beef, they remembered from home. Eventually, supposedly in connection with the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, someone put Hamburg steaks between pieces of bread and the “hamburger” was born.
Janus provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute within the community.
