Deli to get a new occupant? By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It appears the old Shapiro’s Delicatessen spot might not stay empty for long. City officials said that they’ve found a business to fill the former government delicatessen location at 918 S. Range Line Rd. An announcement is expected at this week’s Carmel Redevelopment Commission meeting. The name of the business was not released ahead of time. The location’s vacancy and the closing of the well-known Shapiro’s Deli has been the subject of much conversation in Carmel. City officials made a point to recruit the popular deli to the area as the first occupant of the City Center development in 2001. Carmel even helped pay property taxes on the space, and in 2010 the CRC bought out Shapiro’s nearly $2.5 million mortgage. From then on, Shapiro’s paid the CRC rent payments of $1,000 a month, but fell behind in payments. Owner Brian Shapiro said he wasn’t forced out of the space because of past-due rent, but decided to close in June 2013 to focus on his other locations. When the deli closed, it was reported that Shapiro’s owed the CRC about $79,000 at the time. The property was put up for sale with a minimum asking price of $2.1 million. Mayor Jim Brainard said the city received several calls and at least two formal bids. It was not disclosed what price the expected sale is for and

if the deal is completed. Shapiro said the Carmel location just didn’t have the lunchtime traffic he hoped for. Conseco employees were some of his most reliable daytime customers, but layoffs at the company led to decreased lunch traffic, he said. “We wanted it to work, but there just wasn’t enough daytime business,” he said. Fueling the talk about why the Carmel location didn’t succeed is the fact that Shapiro is considering opening a new third location of the deli in the Keystone at the Crossing area. While nothing has been finalized, he said he hopes to open in the fall. Specifics of the deal between the CRC and Shapiro were not released. Shapiro said that due to a confidentiality agreement, he couldn’t say much. “All I’ll say is the city got a great deal,” he said.

Historical Society seeks 4CDC grant

Tailored to a child/parent friendly environment.

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com After being snubbed in Carmel’s arts grant process, the Carmel Clay Historical Society is seeking a grant from the Carmel City Center Community Development government Corporation. The historical society is requesting a grant of $28,350 to make up for a shortfall in its budget and to maintain its current level of programming for the community. 4CDC Board President Ron Carter said the need arose from the city council’s decision to cut about $20,000 from the city’s cultural program this year, meaning that an amount that had been given the previous year was no longer available. “I think they play a valuable role within the community,” Carter said. Neither of the other 4CDC board members disagreed with that assessment, but board vice president Jack Ragland said he would like to know how the money would be used, as well as the of history of donations to the society. “I’m confused by their numbers,” he said. “And I think they need to respond to us before we issue a grant.” Board Secretary John Clair agreed. “I do think that their work is supportive of the redevelopment commission’s mission,” he said. “My only question is the numbers don’t work out. Philosophically I agree.” The matter was tabled and will be taken up at

the next 4CDC board meeting on May 13. The 4CDC is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization which collects rent from commercial tenants in the James Building at the Center for the Performing Arts and the Old Town on the Monon building on Main Street. It also doles out about $2,500 in rent subsidies per month to businesses in the Carmel Arts & Design District and assists the Carmel Redevelopment Commission in its mission. The historical society announced in 2013 that it was drawing up plans to build a new archive facility on the grounds of the historic depot next to the Monon Trail. The society also planned to kick off a fundraising campaign to raise money for the project, but that campaign has not begun.

Women’s Health Alliance at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital is dedicated to offering a unique perspective on the needs of women. Here’s a get-acquainted chat with a few members of our women’s health specialist team:

Amanda L. Born, MD Dr. Born received her bachelor’s degree from Purdue University, and her medical degree from Wayne State University. She completed her OB/GYN residency at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center, where she received an Academic Achievement Award from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and a Best Overall Resident Award from the Department of Maternal Fetal Medicine. “I chose medicine because ever since I was little, I really liked science and biology. And I also wanted a job where I worked with people, as opposed to doing something in a lab. And medicine is a really good combination of science and helping people.” Amanda’s health tip for women: “It’s really important for women to take care of themselves and put their health first. It’s so easy as wives and mothers to be so focused on taking care of everything else in our family that we kind of put ourselves on the back burner.”

Catherine Hilliker, MD Dr. Hilliker completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University in 1998 and obtained a Master’s of Physiology from Indiana University. She graduated from IU School of Medicine in 2004 with highest academic honors, and went on to complete her residency in Obstetrics

WHEN:

“I grew up in New Jersey. While I was in college, my dad got recruited to Lilly. And that’s how I wound up an adopted Hoosier. I love it here. It’s a great place to raise a family. I’ve been married for 10 years in April. I have a wonderful husband and two little boys. It’s busy. It’s definitely a juggling of schedules, especially being on call like we are in OB/GYN.”

WHERE:

Catherine’s health tip for women: “I always try and encourage my patients to just keep up with maintenance and routine screenings. In our office visits, we can often head off problems before they become real issues.”

Julie A. Hirsch, MD Dr. Hirsch is a board certified OB/GYN who has been in private practice since 1989. She obtained her BA at the University of Evansville and her medical degree at Indiana University. She has a particular interest in minimally invasive surgery as well as all aspects of general gynecology. “I live with my two adult children out in Lebanon on a farm. We have five horses, two miniature donkeys, three dogs. So my hobby is horses. It’s just something I always wanted to do. Now I finally get to live my dream.” Julie’s health tip for women: “It’s simple. Exercise and eat healthy!” To schedule an appointment with these doctors or any of the physicians at St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Health Alliance, call 317-582-9500. Or visit 3384HER.com to learn more.

New church coming to River Road

“The Clear Choice in Physician - Guided Skin Rejuvenation”

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

Lost in the excitement about the announcement that the Legacy development at River Road and 146th Street was back coming soon on the table was the fact that a new church would also be built on the former Conner Prairie-owned land. In fact, the church has a head start. Construction has begun on the permanent home for the Hamilton County location of Harvest Bible Church with an expected completion date in early 2015. About 650 members of the church currently attend one of two services held on Sundays at Riverside Middle School in Fishers. “We, from the very beginning, have set out to minister and serve the north side of Indianapolis,” said Senior Pastor Brian White of the church that began in 2007 at Carmel High School. “It was important to us that we were in a location that people could get to easily anywhere on the northside,” White said, noting that the nearby highways would help attract a congregation than spans the central Indiana region. “It was just a natural fit.” Harvest Bible Church is the latest of about 100 mega-churches of the same name that started out in the suburbs of Chicago. They’re nondenominational, evangelical and don’t necessarily share a common doctrine, but they do cooperate

on missions. “We’re trying to help equip our people to be missionaries where they live and around the world,” White said, noting that Harvest “plants” churches in Asia, South America and East Africa. White said the church wants people to have a relationship with Christ and to live God’s word. “We exist to glorify God and make disciples of all nations,” he said. The new church building will be funded entirely by its members. For more information visit www.harvestnorthindy.org.

Bridal store has affordable dresses

The Perfect

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com From the invitations to the flowers to the reception venue and food, anyone planning a wedding can tell you getting now open married can be expensive. And, don’t forget the dress. From hundreds of dollars to thousands, finding that perfect gown can stretch an already tight budget. Alyssa Kelley wants to change that. The 23-year-old Carmel High School graduate opened Beloved Brides – a bridal consignment and redesign shop - on Valentines Day. “When I was in college I knew I wanted to do something with bridal – I didn’t necessarily know what part of it I wanted to be doing,” she said. “Since there is nothing in the Carmel area like this I’d open a consignment and redesign store.” A redesigned dress is typically a family wedding gown handed down from mother to daughter that the bride wants to wear but needs to alter to better reflect her personal style. “These are usually older styles and they want to modernize it – that is the concept,” Kelley said. “The one I am working on now had sleeves and a boat neck, and I’ve turned it into a sweetheart neckline and added lace in certain areas - making it more the style the bride wants for her wedding day but still keeping the dress in the family.” The consigned gowns – or pre-loved as Kelley refers to them – are brought in by brides who

don’t see any reason to keep them hidden away in a closet. “Reusing things is very popular now,” she said. “The pre-loved dresses are like brand new – you are still getting a gorgeous dress but at a less expensive price.” Beloved Brides also stocks never worn dresses with the tags still on them. Some came from a bridal store that closed, while others are brought in by brides-to-be who opted for another dress, or from weddings that were canceled. Kelley also is hosting a bridal event May 11. “I will have a cake place bringing in samples and hair and makeup demos and we will do door prizes and discounts on bridal accessories,” she said. “Brides will be able to see the different industries here in one place and get ideas for their wedding.” For more information call 810-1630.

New branch of Huntington Bank will open on the ground floor of the Sophia Square building on Main Street, and mancoming soon agers at the bank hope it functions as a way to connect to the residents living in the Carmel Arts & Design District. The new branch, scheduled to open later this year, will be different from the free-standing location on Range Line Road near Civic Square. The new branch, between Huddles Frozen Yogurt and the former Sensu space, won’t have a drive-thru. Instead it will rely on walk-by traffic through Carmel’s historic downtown. The new branch is a smaller storefront concept,

but it will still be a full-service operation. The goal is to attract the growing number of neighbors in the mixed-use area, including Sophia Square residents living directly above the new branch. “Through our research, our customers cite the convenience factor when choosing a bank,” said Mike Newbold, regional president at The Huntington National Bank in the Indianapolis area. “There are many reasons that downtown Carmel is extremely attractive to us, and we expect the area to continue to grow.” Even with a PNC Bank branch on the same street and another Huntington location less than a mile away, Newbold said they believe there is enough population density and traffic to make the new branch a wise move. A specific opening date will be announced.

Horizon Bank offers new concept By Bill Dragon • news@currentincarmel.com Plans call for the construction of a new Horizon Bank this year at the northwest corner of Old Meridian and Carmel coming soon Drive across from Meijer. The plans for the Carmel branch may involve a relatively new concept in banking - no actual teller windows. “The new Carmel location is planned to have a teller window right now, but we may go with the new concept (currently being tested at the new downtown branch) of no teller window,” said Jeff Magginnis, a Horizon Bank vice president. He explained how the new concept would work. “Instead of the usual teller lines, there are a couple of ‘kiosk-type’ stations where customers can conduct some business themselves or a receptionist or employee from one of the front offices will help them with their transaction,” Magginnis said. “These front office employees have more training than the traditional teller in such services as lending and credit lines, so they can provide more of a conversational atmosphere with customers.” The driving force behind this new concept is a result of how much banking has changed in the past ten years. “People don’t go into a bank branch like they used to,” Magginnis said, citing the advent of online banking, direct deposit and ATM machines.

When discussing the sport of cycling with Carmel author Daniel Lee, you can hear the enthusiasm in his voice. And it isn’t a passing infatuation; books he said he fell in love with the sport while growing up in Pennsylvania. “I had a friend who was getting into road cycling, and we started watching the Tour de France, and seeing Greg Lemond winning the Tour in 1986, it just seemed exotic and we got into it from there,” Lee said. “(Cycling) is a wonderful escape and form of exercise. From the moment I learned to ride, it was my favorite activity.” While attending Ball State, Lee competed in two U.S. Collegiate National Road Cycling Championships and raced briefly in Belgium and Germany. “In Europe cycling has been a traditional sport for many decades, especially in Belgium. It was a huge adventure for a suburban American kid to do,” Lee said. The European experience, along with hearing stories from Indianapolis native and racing pro, Guy East, planted the seed for writing his book “The Belgian Hammer – Forging Young Americans into Professional Cyclists.” It tells of the difficult

journey young Americans face to break into the traditional European sport of pro cycling. “The Belgian Hammer” title comes from the fact that the racing in Belgium is hard, tough and fast, which helps those riders prepare for the races like the Tour de France. A personal highlight for Lee was when his book received publicity during NBC Sports Network’s live coverage of the 2012 Tour. Lee sees cycling growing in Carmel’s neighborhoods and across the United States. “There’s been a steady stream of talented riders rising through the ranks,” he said, noting that one of the cycling hotbeds exists right here in Indianapolis. “The cycling team at Marian College has really drawn a lot of super talented cyclists – both men and women – to compete and get an education. I think that the sport definitely has a foothold in America.” He believes there is a bright future for American cycling, especially with riders like East and up-and-comers such as Taylor Phinney and Lawson Craddock. Lee will be discussing his book at 7 p.m. April 16 at the Indianapolis Marion County Central Library, 40 E. St. Clair St. in Indianapolis, as part of the Central Indiana Bicycle Association lecture series.

Carmel had Indiana’s first stoplight – and traffic trap Commentary by Fred Swift

Leslie Haines was one of the most gifted - but unsung - native sons of Carmel, and he was a man ahead of his time. Born in 1883, Haines joined history the U.S. Navy a few years after graduation from Carmel High School. With great electrical engineering ability he became a Naval electrician and assisted Dr. Lee DeForest in developing the wireless radio, a vital advance for communication at sea. He sailed around the world aboard the flagship of the Great White Fleet, an 18-month cruise ordered by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 to demonstrate America’s coming of age as a naval power. In 1910 he returned to Carmel and went to work in the private sector designing elevator controls. But, in his free time at his own workshop, Haines created an electric powered washing machine when most homemakers were still using a washboard. He built an electric train for his son, and he impressed all of Carmel with electric Christmas tree lights. In 1923 he applied for a patent on a device that would bring him at least brief fame. At that time U.S. 31 ran through Carmel on Range Line Road. Even in the early 1920s this made for heavy traffic at Main Street and Range Line Road. So, Haines offered to place his automatic signal at the intersection. The Town Board

LUNCH SPECIAL DRINK SPECIALS

(council) agreed, but it was not the most popular decision they ever made. The signal was the first in Indiana, and many motorists were not happy to see it. It was often disregarded, and a vigilant town marshal stopped an average of five violators a day in what became known as a “traffic trap.” The signal’s first model had no yellow light, so the sudden change from green to red brought the greatest criticism. The Hoosier Motor Club warned its members to avoid Carmel. As a result, local business suffered. Haines remedied part of the problem by building a new model that had the yellow light between the red and green, and then proceeded to build more signals which were exhibited at the 1924 State Fair. Several communities purchased the signals, and it appeared Haines’ business had taken off.

But unfortunately, by 1926 competition and the costs of manufacturing - including an overly generous expense account for salesmen - caused the business to fail. Haines turned to other pursuits. He remained in Carmel working on various projects most of his life. He died in 1945 at his home on West Main Street. The Haines home is still standing, now a rental, on the south side of Main, the first house west of the Monon Trail. The small manufacturing plant where the Haines signals were made was at the southwest corner of First Street NW and First Avenue NW, a site now occupied by the Sofia Square building. The only surviving Haines signal is found at the Carmel Clay Historical Society museum. An early photo shows the signal when it was at Main Street and Range Line Road. The original pedestal for the first signal is also preserved with the “patent pending” stamp on it. A plaque noting that Main Street and Range Line Road was the first signalized intersection in Indiana if not the first in the nation can be found near the foot of the Rotary clock on the northeast corner.

In need of attention

The Carmel Clay Freedom Circle Veterans Memorial has had a rough winter. The concrete surrounding the reflecting pool and statue is badly cracked, damaged or in some cases completely missing. The air around the pool is foul and the pool itself could use a thorough cleaning. It is unclear who is responsible for its maintenance. County records show the Carmel Redevelopment Commission owns the property, but a request for information about the situation to the city’s communications department went unanswered by press time. If members of the public would like to voice an opinion on the subject, they can call the city at 571-2400. (Staff photos)

Renown vocal coach helps prepare students for showcase Are you a fan of “The Voice” or “American Idol”? If you love vocal talent shows, you will love the upcoming showcase of performers from the Midwest School of Voice. At 1 and 5 p.m. May 4 the young performers (ages 7-18) will sing in a talent show at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW in Carmel. I was privileged to get a preview of the singers on March 23 during a master class with celebrity vocal coach Ron Browning at the Midwest School of Voice in Carmel, where 16 students moved up to an entirely new level of sophistication. Among those participating were Carmel residents: Elise Conour, Abby Dill, Nicole DiDonna and Alissa Firestone. Browning worked individually with each attending singer to identify areas for improvement in performance. Some of his instructions fly in the face of traditional teaching. “Throw the verses away.” “Lazy air is better.” “Use the Sarah Vaughn technique. Sing like it’s a big yawn and you’re bored out of your mind.” Browning teaches students not to get caught up in the emotional aspect of the song. With the technique he teaches, the audience should feel the emotion of the song, which is what every performer wants. The students were grateful to have the opportunity to work with the internationally known voice coach. Browning’s clients have included artists such as Patti LaBelle, Wynona Judd and Keb Mo, to name a few. His coaching includes singers from all genres, from country to lead singers at the Metropolitan and New York City Operas. He has travelled the globe with high profile singers, grooming them for events, such as The Nobel Peace Prize Concert Ceremony and for Royal Command Performances. For the Carmel singers, Browning’s master class builds on the work of the Midwest School of Voice instructors. Founders Heather Ramsey Clark and Blair Clark are well-known celebrities in their own right and have added to the Carmel cultural milieu with the founding of the school in 2011 and with the new musical venue, The Warehouse, which opens May 4 for the MVP showcase.

Former Miss America overcame an abusive childhood and is now an advocate for awareness and prevention By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com In 1958, America was experiencing a post-war golden age and undergoing a metamorphosis from “Mayberry” into the super power of the Cold War and the space race. It was a different time and place. America cover story seemed almost naive by today’s standards. Bad things were not communicated, only shoved into a closet to hide so the neighbors wouldn’t find out, said that year’s Miss America, Marilyn Van Derbur. But the crown, smiles and beauty that Van Derbur displayed on the outside were only masking the horrible reality she grew up with. As Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “People only see what they are prepared to see.” And Americans weren’t prepared to see incest and sexual abuse in 1958, and the common thought was that it just didn’t happen in America at that time. But regardless of public perception, Van Derbur’s life was a nightmare. It was all a façade to Chaucie’s Place convince others that she had a loving family, a beautiful home April Breakfast and an active social life. Featuring former Miss The reality was that Van America Marilyn Van Derbur was raped by her father Derbur 7 to 9 a.m. April 23 from the age of 5 until she was At Ritz Charles in Carmel 18 years old, resulting in horrific Cost is $10 panic attacks and excruciating For more physical pain every day of her information visit adult life. www.chauciesplace.org After years of therapy, Van Derbur wrote a book, “Miss America by Day,” an inspirational resource for healing from childhood sexual abuse, and has made it her life’s mission to educate and talk about sexual abuse. “We have to talk about this and educate our children on this. It’s astonishing how many children will be sexually abused in their childhood,” Van Derbur said. “The main reason I still speak and travel all over is to make the words more ‘speakable’ and to make people understand just how common it is. One in four girls and one is six boys will be sexually molested. Those are very scary odds.”

‘People can heal’

When a newspaper reporter learned of her story, Van Derbur’s private shame became front-page news. She even landed on the cover of People magazine. Soon incest survivors from around the nation were reaching out to her, desperate to tell someone what had happened to them. It

became clear that her new role in life was to help others who had suffered through incest and to help teach everyone how to make sure their children are safe from predators. She desperately struggled most of her adult life to overcome the memories and feelings from her childhood. “I healed through therapy and education and forgiveness,” Van Derbur said. “I’ve been out of therapy for 23 years, so people can heal and get through the tragedy of sexual molestation.” And helping others is what she has done since. In 1989 she asked the Kempe National Center in Denver to begin a program to help other men and women who were victims of child abuse. Her family contributed $260,000 to establish the program.

‘A wonderful opportunity’

During the past five years, Van Derbur has spoken in 160 cities and personally answered more than 7,000 letters from men and women who were victims of child abuse. In 1993 she co-founded two organizations based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to public education and to strengthening laws for victims of child abuse. And she will be the keynote speaker for Chaucie’s Place April 23 breakfast, helping to educate Carmel families on methods for the prevention of childhood sexual abuse. “April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and each April we host a friends of Chaucie’s Place breakfast,” said Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place. “This breakfast is really special because our old friends and founders and longtime grassroots supporters attend. And it is a wonderful opportunity for new supporters to come and support us, so it’s a very special mix of people.” And Chaucie’s Place makes it very affordable. Breakfast tickets are only $10. “We purposefully eliminate the financial barriers for the breakfast, even though it is a fundraiser, because we want people to learn about us and our work and why it is so important,” Stark said. Stark said she believes this year’s breakfast promises to be the biggest fundraiser yet because of Van Derbur and her message. “We already have 300 folks attending, and it’s such a great opportunity for them to learn about the work we do and if so moved, support our work,” she said.

Hypocrisy in the springtime

Forums mean election season heating up

As you may know, President Barack Obama is once again leading from behind and is reaching for the same tired arguments of the past in hopes of Democrats gaining ground in the upcoming midterm elections. His latest dime-store strategy: The pay gap between men and women. Well, according to an Associated Press story, an analysis conducted by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, found Obama’s female aides were paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men, about $65,000 to $73,729 annually. But here’s the really wonderful display of hypocrisy: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney argued the comparison is based on aggregate wages that include the lowest salaries at the White House, adding, “which may or may not be - depending on the institution - filled by more women than men.” OK, so let’s get this straight: It’s fine for government to use this excuse, but in the private sector, something untoward is taking place. Ah, yes, there is nothing quite like liberal hypocrisy in the springtime. ••• To those who are in line with us for the annual fleecing today, misery loves company, we suppose. Before we blink, Tax Liberation Day (not a real holiday) will be somewhere around Thanksgiving. Once and for all, reduce spending, cut government bloat and let’s have some meaningful leadership! ••• Who doesn’t love a parade? No one in Carmel that we know of, that’s for sure. And so, in a nod to soccer’s burgeoning rise here with the founding of Indy Eleven (if not to its owner, Ersal Ozdemir, Carmel resident and regional developer), the whole team has been named grand marshal of the CarmelFest 2014 parade on July 4. It’s going to be something else. Kudos to the CarmelFest 2014 committee on the choice. Current in Carmel, you might know, is a leading sponsor of the festival, the greatest in Indiana (period!).

Prognostication

Commentary by Terry Anker

As much as we humans are the same (our tolerance for climate, days without water and isolation from each other fall into fairly narrow bands), we take a near excessive pride in our distinctions. Amused by this reality, I might suggest to the latest brand of hipster that the excessive goal of uniqueness only ensures that one is different in exactly the same way as all others who seek distinction in entirely the same way! We cannot entirely escape the subtle cues that expose our history and predict our potentials regardless of one’s facial hair or body art. Communities, too, find little safe-harbor from these indications. Each, in its own way, betrays the secrets of its past, tells the story of its present and unwittingly forecasts a projection of its future. Athens recalls a storied history with grand edifices perched at the Acropolis but its present-day empty store fronts and careless graffiti speak to its contemporary challenges to keep up with northern Europe. Present day London is bustling with commerce. The streets are

filled in the early morning with citizens navigating the many construction sites converting notable buildings into more modern configurations. One is immersed in wealth. Bentley’s wiz by transporting harried fund-managers to the first stop on the daily schedule. But even here, does the empire wane? Russian oligarchs are displacing the local aristocracy with brute force and sheer wealth. For either of these two examples, will the future carry decline or renaissance? And, what indicators can help them to influence that trajectory. In our own cities and towns, we can find the same watermarks. Are we brick streets, or performance halls, or sports fields, or town squares, or lakes, or green pastures? Are we robust or sickly? Most importantly, are we paying attention? Time alone will tell.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK There is nothing more dangerous than the moment you become a hostage to yesterday’s comfort zone.

- Rob Thompson

The first campaign signs of the season are starting to appear on lawns and on strategic corners around Carmel. It’s all in preparation for the primary on May 6. To kickoff election season, a local Tea Party group, the Constitutional Patriots, hosted a candidate forum on April 8. About 30 people were in attendance as candidates like Fred Glynn, a Republican candidate for Hamilton County council, discussed why voters should support his campaign. But the evening’s main debate focused on the race to be the next judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3. Incumbent Judge Bill Hughes noted that during his tenure, he has maintained expenses at a reasonable level and implemented an effective management system. But he wanted voters to realize what his court focuses its time on – family matters. Superior 3 spends about 75 percent of its time handling civil disputes like divorce, child custody, bankruptcies and issues relating to elderly parents. Hughes asked for voters’ support saying, “I have a family I care about, and I care about other people’s families.” Challenger Brian Poindexter, who currently serves as the judge of Carmel’s City Court, highlighted how he worked for former Indianapolis Mayor Steve Goldsmith and dedicates much of his time serving on the boards of local nonprofits. Poindexter said he would spend time off the bench working to bring a domestic violence shelter to Hamilton County – something he said it currently doesn’t have. “A judge has the opportunity to provide leadership in word and deed off the bench,” he said. The event served as a precursor to the Carmel Clay Republican Club’s candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. April 22 at Central Christian Church in Carmel. The highlight of that could be the first time when state representative candidates face each other. And in what was billed as a race about mass transit, transit appears to have the edge. Incumbent Jerry Torr said he has raised more than $23,000 – and his support for transit has been a positive factor. Challenger Don Meier said he has raised $1,400 so far. Torr said polling has shown that a majority of likely Republican primary voters support a vote on mass transit – something voters would ultimately decide in a referendum that’s likely to appear on ballots in 2016.

Not every political candidate is in the pocket of the NRA Editor, Republican legislators and our governor recently enacted new laws, allowing guns in locked cars on school parking lots (where they can be broken into), and at graduation and prom events held off school property. Republicans also approved a constitutional amendment to guarantee Hoosiers the right to hunt and fish. These laws were passed with the fervent backing of the National Rifle Association, which lobbied for them. OK, if that passed in this session, what’s in store for the next Indiana legislature session? Well, what’s to stop our pro-gun legislators from doing what the NRA was recently able to persuade Georgia Republicans to pass; namely allowing guns in churches, bars, libraries, sports grounds and youth centers. Also, gun owners who “claim” they have a permit are allowed to escape penalty if they’re found with a gun at security checkpoints in an airport. Wow, it sounds like the NRA was urging on these legislators like a drug pusher offering cocaine in the form of an “A” NRA rating, which the Georgia governor received. I don’t know about you, but doesn’t

this stuff sound a bit extreme? And, does Indiana really need a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to hunt and fish? Well, according to the NRA, by declaring and enshrining this as a constitutional right, it will protect it from attacks by well-funded, anti-hunting extremists. So, the NRA (which apparently considers itself a “moderate” organization) is scared that there might be some “extremists” out there who would want to ban hunting and fishing (or possibly question allowing guns in libraries and school parking lots). So, this is where we stand in year 4 of total Republican dominance of Indiana. Are there any other voices out there that question some of this pro-gun “anything goes” attitude? Well yes, recently I heard a Democratic candidate for the State legislature seat now held by Republican Jerry Torr speak out against the newly-enacted law allowing guns in school parking lots. His name is David Russ, and if you also are not in agreement with this NRA agenda, please vote for Russ this fall. Jim Blessing, 46033

Increased traffic disrupting neighborhood tranquility Editor, Ah yes, Spring is around the corner. I anticipate sitting on my patio overlooking Cool Creek, watching the grass growing greener, birds singing and hearing the babbling brook. However, now it is difficult to hear even a babble. The increased auto and truck traffic is causing more than ever tire noise on the concrete over the Keystone Parkway Bridge (no sound abatement barriers exist), more truck noise while passing cars that are assumed to be going 50

mph, heavy loads banging and bumping over the bridge and not to mention the whine of superchargers chugging south up the incline. Already, my wife has had an issue trying to merge onto Keystone north bound off 106th Street. There are few smaller 50 mph speed limit signs, mostly at overpass roundabout exit ramps. I did notice two police patrol cars at the 136th street exchange Friday morning. I only hope that the traffic and noise is controlled and further patrolled. Thomas Abel, 46032

Brooks inconsistent on Obamacare Editor, U.S. Rep. Brooks symbolically votes to repeal Obamacare dozens of times and now is promoting the “Saving American Workers Act” which will still result in many workers losing their jobs or seeing a reduction in hours. The solution is to not fund Obamacare. Brooks has voted on multiple occasions to fully fund Obamacare. Symbolic votes to repeal Obamacare and supporting bills that tinker around the edges do not make up for her support for fully funding the current version

of the bill. I say “current version” because the version she is funding is one full of unconstitutional and unilateral executive decisions to delay, change and ignore portions of the bill that were passed by Congress. Members of Congress that are funding this bill are not only further entrenching Obamacare but are also ignoring the constitution by funding a program that looks nothing like the original bill. Like the old saying, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too”! David Stockdale, 46033

A vacation from motherhood Commentary by Danielle Wilson I think everyone would agree that this past winter was a tough one. Long, cold, and way too many school cancellations and humor delays. As a teacher, I desperately needed this Spring Break just to catch a breather. The stress of planning makeup lessons and quickening the pace had left me overwhelmed and frazzled. Unfortunately, my kids are in a different school system, and the calendars did not coincide this year. Not wanting to be stuck here though, Doo finagled a way for him and our kids to get to Florida through a one-way flight out of Kentucky, a rental mini-van in Tampa, and a long drive home up constructionridden I-65. I would remain here, since I’d be back to work by then. Actually, I was looking forward to both weeks. The first would give me seven hours each day to myself while my minions were at school. And I’d finally get to catch up on all those put-off house projects. I even scheduled a few fun things, like getting a spray-tan (No UVA rays for this ginger, but I still like to look alive), and going for my annual pap smear (nothing says vacation like “speculum!”). What I didn’t count on was the fact that the kids weren’t on break yet. So there was still dance, track, violin, tumbling, soccer, band and orthodontics appointments to coordinate. I still had to get up at six every morning and organize lunches and pets. I still had to prep dinner and

help with homework. Restful? Relaxing? Not as much as I’d anticipated. Is it any wonder I was thoroughly disheartened and a tad bitter when I tromped back into school the following Monday, knowing my husband was sipping Mai Tais on a warm beach? Unexpectedly though, I actually enjoyed getting back to my students and daily routine. Turns out, teaching hadn’t been bogging me down as much as the demands of parenting had been. So that second week was heaven! Sure, I had to work, but when I came home, I had nothing to do. The house was still clean; I had no carpooling duties nor schedules to coordinate; I didn’t have to ground a teenager or even create a last minute life-size drawing of Eli Lilly for Famous Hoosier Day. I ate cereal for dinner, watched the entire second season of Downtown Abbey, and was able to turn off all the lights at 9 o’clock. No guilt, no marital friction, no kid drama. It was honestly a fantastic pseudo-Spring Break! What’s the moral of my tale? Sand and surf aren’t the only ways to recuperate from a nasty winter. A vacation from motherhood can work just as well. Peace out.

‘I Love A Piano’ a tribute to Irving Berlin’s genius By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

In the spirit of preserving the Great American Songbook, The Actors Theatre of Indiana is closing out its 2013-14 season with a salute to one of America’s most beloved lyricists and songwriters. theatre “I Love A Piano” will showcase writer Irving Berlin’s music and life when it comes to the Studio Theatre stage April 25 in the Center for the Performing Arts. “I Love a Piano” is an all-singing, alldancing revue that includes more than 60 of Berlin’s

classic songs, such as “Blue Skies,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Anything You Can Do,” “God Bless America,” and, the show’s namesake, “I Love a Piano,” interspersed with tidbits of information about Berlin’s life. Berlin’s history as a Jewish immigrant from Russia along with his innate hopeful romanticism will set the scene for simple stories about everyday American life set to beautiful melodies that have become a soundtrack of the 20th century. Berlin’s accomplishments are truly amazing considering he never studied music, let alone maintained the ability to read or write it. His career started out of necessity after the death of his father, so he became a singing waiter who composed his own music as it garnered bigger tips. “Some people who praise his work say that he Shepard was such a genius because of the simplicity of the language,” said Kenny Shepard, co-director and co-choreographer of ATI’s production. “It was just bare bones. These are the words, these are the simple melodies, and the marriage of the two touch your heart.” Both Indianapolis natives, Shepard and Carol Worcel, his business partner and Worcel co-director and co-choreographer, specialize in musical storytelling and use their many years of national touring experience. They plan to use their talents to exquisitely tell the story of Berlin’s music through song and dance complete with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ballroom elegance, 1940’s dance hall swing and a showstopping tap extravaganza. The show also includes a Falling in Love section featuring Berlin’s famous love songs, a storyline focused on his movie music, a Fifth Avenue section complete with a mock Easter Parade and a small wedding as well as the show-stopper, “There’s No Business Like Show Business” from “Annie Get Your Gun.” Berlin, a World War I veteran was also very patriotic and wrote songs about his love for America, with the most famous being “God Bless America,” which was made famous by singer Kate Smith and gained a new significance following the Sept. 11 attacks. The cast features Cynthia Collins, Michael Dotson, Judy Fitzgerald, Don Farrell, Bradley Reynolds and Mary Jayne Waddell - all veteran actors who have appeared in numerous ATI shows. Michael Berkeley arranged the music and will be at the helm of the baby grand piano. “I think it’s a great opportunity for new audiences to get to know the resident company, and if they can walk away and feel like they know a little more about Irving Berlin and about our performers, then we have done our job,” Shepard said. At 2 p.m. May 4, ATI will also host a “Behind the Curtain” talk with the cast, designers and Chris Lewis, program director for the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, immediately following the performance. “I Love A Piano” • April 25 though May 11 • Studio Theatre • The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $20 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www. thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Candy coma awaits at Conner Prairie By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie plans to have events for the whole family during its Easter Celebration on April 19. easter Kids will have the chance to collect candy and Easter eggs, compete in egg-and-spoon races and egg rolling, and other historical games. And older kids can watch the ubiquitous and nearly indestructible Peeps marshmallows as they fizz, freeze and inflate during a science demonstration. “Easter in Prairietown is fascinating,” said Jason Adams, Conner Prairie’s manager of science interpretation. “We’re making some fun crafts out there.” And of course the Easter Bunny will be there, too. But make sure to get to Conner Prairie early so kids can enjoy breakfast while they pose for pictures with the furry rodent. Breakfast settings are available at 8:30 and 11:30 a.m., but reservations are required. The Science of Peeps events start at 11 a.m. at the welcome center, and new presentations begin on the hour through 4 p.m. For the finale of each presentation, kids will see how the Peep responds to a high impact crash by shooting them out of a potato cannon. It’s all part of an increased focus on science at Conner Prairie, Adams said, noting that Conner Prairie was an experimental farm itself until the 1970s.

And his mind, the science experiments fall into that tradition. And when else would kids get to expose the indestructible common American Peep to radiation or extreme acidic conditions? “The candy activities will be really fun, too,” Adams conceded. The Egg-Stravaganza events take place at the Overlook Lawn starting at 2 p.m. The most important of which – for candy fans – is the egg drop, which is broken down by age group. And don’t forget to watch artist Laura Clack as she decorates eggs with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resistant (batik) method from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. And it wouldn’t be Conner Prairie without a fun way to learn about history. So in 1836 Prairietown kids can discover how the Zimmerman family dyes Easter eggs. The citizens of the town are preparing for spring and there’s a lot of planting to be done, flower arranging at the Campbell House, and “tussie-mussies” to make at the Gregory’s. People can also taste delicious maple gingerbread at the Campbell House starting at 1:30 p.m. until quantities run out. Easter Celebration • Conner Prairie • 13400 Allisonville Rd. in Fishers • 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 19 • Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for kids age 2 to 12 and free for children under 2 • For more information call 776-6006 or visit www.connerprairie.org

Owner Kevin Paul plans to open Danny Boy Beer Exchange in the Village of West Clay. (Staff photo)

Danny Boy brewery coming

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The owners of Brockway Public House are set to open a new tap house and restaurant in the commercial area of the coming soon Village of West Clay. Danny Boy Beer Exchange is expected to open late this summer and showcase 10 to 15 rotating beers, along with its signature brews. Other breweries around the state will be featured with 30 to 35 guest taps. Lainie and Kevin Paul, who live in the Village of West Clay, are constructing a new building for their establishment, which will feature space for on-site brewing and a large outdoor dining area that could seat more than 100 customers. Possible menu items include pizza, pretzels, breadsticks, salads and sandwiches. “The thought is that it’s a brewery first, a tap house second and a restaurant third,” Kevin Paul said. The Pauls founded Danny Boy Beer Works as Carmel’s first brewery in 2011 and today they distribute more than 5,000 kegs annually.

The location, planned for 12702 Meeting House Road, will feature several beers including their signature Training Day and Black IPA brews. Brockway has been open in Carmel, across Old Meridian Street from Meijer, since 2007. But Danny Boy will have a different feel with the on-site brewing, which allows the proprietors to test out new batches to see if customers like them. Danny Boy will be inspired by Boston Irish pubs and will have a more American feel than Brockway, which has more of an industrial feel. Not only can people watch a game and relax, visitors can bring home cans, bottles and growlers of their favorite brew. Kevin Paul said the goal is to really establish Danny Boy’s brand. “We’ll try to be that craft or artisanal approach to everything we offer from the cocktails to the pizza to the beers and everything we do,” he said. Donna Park, a realtor for Brenwick Realty Company, said everyone keeps asking about the pub. “The Village of WestClay is excited about the construction of the new pub,” she said. “It is fun to have a place to gather with neighbors and take the family to grab a bite to eat.”

Job fair for Hoosier veterans – Veterans in search of work should plan to attend the eighth annual “Operation Hire a Hoosier Veteran” Job Fair on April 16 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Nearly 200 employers will be in attendance and looking to hire qualified applicants. Attendees are asked to pre-register for this free event at http://ohhv.org/job-seeker-registration/ and bring picture identification to the job fair. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, Agriculture/Horticulture Building, 1202 E. 38th Str. In Indianapolis. It’s free to attend.

Greetings from the epicenter Commentary by Vicky Earley

Greetings from the spring 2014 High Point Furniture Show … the epicenter of home furnishings style and trends. decorating This mega-industry trade show draws more than 75,000 home décor professionals to an otherwise sleepy North Carolina town. With over 11 million square feet of show space, the 2,000 exhibitors present the fruits of their creative efforts to retailers bearing credentials from around the world. If pressed to identify the strongest trends we will see in the home décor stores for 2014, I would have to single out the explosions of color in every facet of interior design. I can’t identify one color trend that will reign in 2014. This mélange of color is a combination of just about every color imaginable in a space. This bouquet of hues is such a departure from the gloomy gray that was the common denominator at the 2011 and 2012 marts. While gray is still the foundation hue, it is complimented by just about every color that the eye can perceive. Another trend to be on the lookout for is an Asian influence. This was obvious in just about every home décor venue. Chinoiserie fabrics were used abundantly on chairs while accent furnishings featured the lines typically found in Chinese influenced furnishings. Unexpected color combinations such as ivory and mango were

scattered through the Asian vignettes. Fussy furnishings were a rare sight as cleaner lines prevailed. Even traditional furniture manufacturers displayed transitional collections that would meld easily into traditional spaces. Industrial and nostalgia influence remained a presence, especially for stores that cater to the 30 something consumers. Leather furnishing were sprinkled generously throughout the room vignettes to soften the hard metal and wood combinations found in industrial styled shelving, tables, stools and chairs. The most unexpected trend that will hit the stores in the next few months is the return of gold. This is not the brass of 1986, rather a reflection of the real mineral. A gold finish on lighting as well as tables will be a fresh addition to a well appointed home. There is nothing as inspiring to a design professional as the semiannual trek to the home furnishings Mecca. The blisters and sore feet are just a part of the High Point experience and quickly forgotten when an exciting new vendor is discovered or an old vendor introduces a fresh, new look. It is all a part of the High Point experience. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

Cemetery on Mount of Olives. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Awaiting the Messiah

Commentary by Don Knebel

Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives has been important to Christians since the first century. Jesus met with his disciples among its olive travel trees, prayed with them near its base at Gethsemane and ascended to heaven from its peak near Bethany, sites all now marked by churches. For even longer, the Mount of Olives has been important to many Jews, who still seek to be buried along its slope. The Mount of Olives lies across the Kidron Valley from the eastern wall of the Temple Mount. According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will signal his arrival by coming down the Mount of Olives, crossing the Kidron Valley and entering the Temple through the eastern wall’s Golden Gate. When Jesus followed this path riding a donkey, he was welcomed as the Messiah by followers waving palm branches. Rabbi Irving Greenberg famously said in 1967 that the difference between Jews and Christians will finally be settled when the Messiah descends the Mount of Olives and announces whether it’s his first or second trip. To the left of the path that modern visitors take down to Mount of Olives is an ancient cem-

etery, containing about 70,000 tombs from the time of King Solomon’s Temple to the present. For thousands of years, Jews desiring a ringside seat for the Messiah’s arrival have been interred along the Mount of Olives’ western slope. They believe, like other Jews and Christians, that the Messiah’s appearance (first or second) will initiate the bodily resurrection of the dead. Consequently, they are buried with their feet to the east to be able to greet the Messiah face to face as they arise from their tombs. In the meantime, people pay their respects by placing small rocks on the stone tomb covers, reflecting their belief that the entombed souls are eternal. A single grave site on the Mount of Olives reportedly costs up to $85,000. For those who can’t afford to await the Messiah from there, there may be no reason to worry. An ancient legend says believers from around the world will be able to tunnel to the Mount of Olives when the Messiah arrives.

Growing perfect tomatoes

Commentary by Noah Herron

Now is the time to start your tomato seeds indoors. For a gardener, this is probably the most exciting time of the year. Gardening You get a fresh beginning to what is going to be a great season. Well at least we hope so. Most tomato varieties can be grown in our area so choose varieties that works best for your family. Beefsteak, Cherry, Sauce, Canning, etc. … once you have the seeds you’re ready to plant. Use a soilless mix to start your seedlings. The seed itself provides enough nutrients for the seedling during this period. Any extra nutrients will make the tomatoes grow too fast and get lengthy. After six weeks of growth, your tomato transplants will be ready for the outdoors. At this stage, your plants need a slow release, organic fertilizer (5-5-5). This will promote healthy foliage growth to help protect your fruit. Select a location with good drainage and full sun. Always make sure to weather any plants that have been growing indoors. Do this by slowly introducing them to the outdoor elements over a weeks’ time. Now that your tomatoes are outdoors, make

Switching to a lower nitrogen fertilizer will help tomato growth and not foliage. (Submitted photo)

sure your soil stays moist but allow for it to almost dry out before watering again. Over watering can introduce diseases and wilt. Under watering can put unwanted stress and crack your tomatoes. When fruit begins to set you’ll need to add a side dressing of fertilizer (2-3-1) and then again at two weeks after first picking, and lastly at six weeks after first picking. Switching to a lower nitrogen fertilizer will help tomato growth and not foliage. This fertilizer is very important to promote large, healthy tomatoes! My favorite heirloom tomatoes are Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Golden Jubilee, Marglobe Supreme, Roma, Black Krim and Mortgage Lifter. Noah Herron is owner of Urban Farmer Garden Center, 4105 W.

Dad’s advice: Whole-house remodel for ranch-style home

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: This home in the 96th Street and College Avenue area was built in 1998 but had been unoccupied blueprint for for a few years. The improvement owner was able to purchase the home from a family member. “The whole house was severely outdated and I was skeptical about buying it. To ease my concerns, my dad recommended a complete house remodel. I trusted his judgment and decided to move ahead with the purchase.” DESIGN PHASE: Every single room in the dated one-story ranch needed a facelift. “I knew I wanted dark cabinetry and bamboo wood flooring throughout the house. While working through the design phase, the rest of the details fell into place.” KITCHEN DETAILS: The original kitchen was completely gutted and replaced with dark maple cabinets, granite countertops, a tiled backsplash and coordinating stainless steel appliances. To brighten up the kitchen and illuminate the dark cabinetry, new recessed light fixtures were strategically installed around the perimeter of the cabinets. Long plank bamboo flooring with a “baked natural” finish was installed not only in the kitchen, but throughout the entire house. GUEST BATH: Everything but the mirror was replaced in the guest bathroom. A dark maple vanity was installed with a coordinating “Autumn

before & after

Brown” granite countertop. The original tub and ceramic tile surround was replaced with a deep soaking tub and shower wall surround. MASTER BATH: The original master bath had old carpet, outdated fixtures and peeling wallpaper. Everything was gutted and prepped for a complete remodel. The same dark maple cabinetry and granite countertops were kept

RESULT: After all the planning and construction, the dated house was transformed into this first-time homeowner’s dream home. “The kitchen is by far my favorite room in the entire house. I like the way the colors all turned out with the dark cabinets and light-colored countertops and backsplash.”

consistent with the guest bathroom vanity. Replicating the look of natural travertine, porcelain tile called “Giotto Gris” was used for the floor and shower walls. The shower was finished with a new brushed nickel shower head and a semiframeless glass shower enclosure.
