Campaign aims to redefine normal

Road closure – Lakeshore Drive East between 96th Street and 106th Street will be closed beginning June 6 for rehabilitation of the bridge over Carmel Creek. The closure is expected to last 100 days. The signed detour will consist of 106th Street, Gray Road and 96th Street.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Colleen Stine and business parter Colleen Berkowitz imagine a world without stereotypes or discrimination. giving back A world where it is normal to be different. Their business, Mama Said Tees, has produced a campaign called “Let’s Redefine Normal.” The T-shirts are being sold with the word “Normal” on them. “We’re not saying you have to support other people’s decisions, we just want you to be nice and not judge,” Stine said. “People look at me, and on the outside, might think I’m happy-golucky. They would never dream that I or my family have been through what we’ve been through.” Her older sister, Shannon O’Malia Hall, was killed by her ex-husband, David Hall, in a murdersuicide in July 2014 at her parents’ home in Carmel. Shannon was a teacher at Saint Louis de Montfort Elementary School in Fishers. Stine, 32, and her husband, Doug, moved from St. Louis to Carmel to raise her two nephews, Connor and Danny, along with their own three young children, including her baby, Shannon. Connor just turned 12 and Danny will turn 10 June 8. The video of “Let’s Redefine Normal” can be found on mama-said-tees.myshopify.com. The video gives examples of biracial and lesbian couples as well as individuals with disabilities. “Everyone has busy lives. I know it’s hard to find time to sit down with your kids and have a conversation about treating people well,” Stine said. “It’s nice you can sit down and watch this video and say, ‘Tell me some things about some kids at your school you don’t perceive as normal,

and let’s talk about that. How can we change maybe how you and others treat them.’ It could catch like wildfire if the right people see it.” Stine said she understands children’s curiosity but said she would answer questions privately. “I just don’t want them to ask me point blank in front of someone that might have a physical disability or difference,” Stine said. “I don’t want that person to feel less human because you’re looking at them funny or saying what’s wrong with that person.” Stine said 15 percent of sales of the Normal T-shirts go to PACER’s (Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights) National Bullying Prevention Center. Stine is in charge of the creative aspects of Mama Said Tees while Berkowitz, from a Chicago suburb, handles the business end.

Drowning victim rescued – The Carmel Police Dept. and Carmel Fire Dept. helped save a 12-year-old boy from drowning May 25 in a retention pond behind the Meijer Store on West Carmel Drive. CFD spokesman Tim Griffin said the boy was pulseless at the scene and was transported to St.Vincent in Carmel. First responders performed CPR and while en route to the hospital the boy’s pulse came back, Griffin said. The boy was then sent to St.Vincent where he was stabilized and then transferred to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

Carmel plans events to welcome mayors By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The United States Conference of Mayors is planning its 84th annual conference June 24 to 27 in Indianapolis, and the City city news of Carmel is planning some events to coincide. “I’m excited,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “We anticipate 400 to 500 mayors being in Carmel the first night. They’ll be in the Indianapolis

and Central Indiana area for four days. We are in the process of planning some great events for them on Friday, June 24, in Carmel. As those plans firm up, we’ll release that information.” The United States Conference of Mayors is a non-partisan organization made up of elected officials from cities with populations of 30,000 or more, of which there are 1,407 such cities in the nation. Brainard said some well-known names should

be in the city that week, and there’s a chance some presidential candidates might attend or send surrogates since it’s an election year. Brainard said the city’s plans aren’t finalized, but it’s possible there might be a seminar, speech or workshop held in Carmel, or a welcome party along Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District. He said planning is under way. “It’s a great way to showcase Carmel and Indianapolis,” he said.

Family remembers ‘brave’ Brooks Blackmore By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Thousands of people in Carmel had been rooting for 6-year-old Brooks Blackmore as he fought brain cancer in memoriam this past year. There are more than 8,000 people who liked the Be Brave Brooks page on Facebook, which updated the community after he was diagnosed with an inoperable, high-grade pediatric midline astrocytoma, grade 4. On May 21, Brooks died surrounded by family and friends after he was brought home from the hospital during his last fight. Services were held May 26 at Northview Church in Carmel. His mother, Tracey Blackmore, said May 23 the family is “trying to make our way through this nightmare step by step, minute by minute.” “I thought he would beat this thing. We are devastated and trying to breathe, the pain hurts so bad. It’s hard when we had so much hope,” she stated. “But Brooks was not able to do much for himself this past month, and I know it was hard on him. He started to be in pain as well. Those things are hard to understand being that young and so hard to watch as a parent. I’m so mad this all happened in the first place, but I feel the slightest bit of

peace knowing he is free from all of it. That’s a very selfless thing I’m trying to come to terms with. All I know is we loved this brave boy more than we could express. He made us parents and was the best big brother to his younger, twin siblings. He has taught all of us how to be brave, live for the now, appreciate the little things in life, play more, laugh more, be silly, love deeply and to have faith over fear.”

Brooks was born Dec. 20, 2009, to Joshua Blackmore and Tracey McCarroll Blackmore in Carmel. He attended Northview Church in Carmel, where he graduated from preschool. He attended pre-K at Kindergarten Connection for one year, and was attending kindergarten at Cherry Tree Elementary School in Carmel. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his younger brother and sister, Ellery and Rory, who are twins. Tracey said Brooks was the average 6-yearold boy who loved playing soccer, basketball and baseball and eating cheese pizza, salami, General Tso’s chicken and candy. He would play with his Legos and Hot Wheels toy cars and go on walks with his parents. Tracey Blackmore and her sister, Tammy Hartley, often kept the public updated about Brooks’ battle with cancer on the Facebook page, Be Brave Brooks. Well wishes from friends — and even strangers — poured in as the public closely followed their story. Visitors would post photos of personalized drawings their children drew for Brooks and often say they prayed for him. Donations in Brooks’ memory may be made to prayersfrommaria.org, which is a foundation dedicated to finding a cure for high-grade gliomas.

CBS4 “Legacy Team” Joins Festivities By Cindy Roberts-Greiner

Good Eats & Sweet Treats

When food & festivals become a topic of conversation – invariably there’s a split into factions: those who boldly state a festival is “a time when you eat things your mother told you to avoid and savor every guilty bite” and the health conscious group seeking out salt free & calorie conscious options. Even though festival goers may disagree on the best food choices, we can all agree that food is a culture all its own. And at a festival, there is always room on the menu for hot buttered corn on the cob, funnel cake, ice cream and meat on a stick. At this year’s CarmelFest celebration, we’ll feature 38 food vendors with a variety of tasty favorites. But, if you really need to count calories or watch your carb intake – you can always pack a picnic basket with healthy options (then sneak over to the fried Twinkie stand for a whiff of delicious decadence).

Muzaffar Ahmad, a speaker with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and Dr. David Carlson, a religious studies library professor at Franklin College, presented “ISIS is not Islam” May 16 at the Carmel Clay Public Library. Ahmad spoke first, explaining the points of what he calls True Islam. “The message I’m trying to convey is that Islam is a religion of peace, just like Christianity is a religion of peace and Judaism and Buddhism and any other religion,” he said. “My desire and my passion is to speak and talk to people and tell them that Islam is not related to extremism.” Ahmad detailed the history of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which began in India in 1889. It is the largest International Muslim organization under one leader. “Extremists distort the teachings of Islam, so there’s a need to define Islam’s true teachings, which is what we call True Islam,” Ahmad said. Carlson presented a detailed history on terrorists claiming to be operating through Islamic teachings. “I can’t take away the fear of this group,

but I can take away some of the misunderstanding about it,” Carlson said. He spoke about the differences between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims. Approximately 85 percent of all Muslims are Sunni, including members of ISIS. The terrorist group has lashed out in violence against Shi’a Muslims, he said, who have different views of the prophet Mohammad. “To understand the rage of this group, we have to go back to 100 years ago,” Carlson said, explaining that World War I helped lead to the start of terrorist groups in the Middle East.

Allison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let him plan everything out, what kind of lemonade stand he would want, how to make it different from others and how to market.â&#x20AC;? Stone implemented three aspects into his lemonade stand to make it different from other stands. He made fresh-squeezed lemonade, as he is allergic to different food dyes, and powdered lemonade has some of those dyes. He created the lemonade out of fresh lemons, simple syrup and water.

Divorce – What to Expect: The Benefit of Reaching an Agreement on Custody There are two aspects to child custody. The first is legal. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate when the parties are able to communicate about these issues and have reasonable discussions and disagreements that can be worked out. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody is an excellent first step in custody agreements, both acknowledging the roles of each parent and investing both in the decisions presumed to have the highest level of impact of the children. The fact that the parties will not always agree, besides being an obvious component of divorce to being with, is not a reason to discard the possibility of agreeing to joint legal custody. The mere fact that the parties do not see eye-to-eye all the time will not necessarily guarantee that a Court would not order joint legal custody if the best interests of the children are served by that status. With an agreement, you have the ability to lay the framework out for successful co-parenting, beginning with this step. If the parties are at odds over even minor decisions and are at such a level of conflict that joint legal custody would be impractical at best and harmful to the children at worst, then either by agreement or order of the Court one parent would be vested with the final say in making any of these “major decisions.” The second aspect of custody is physical custody, which is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to the home location of the children. One party or the other having physical custody does not presume any level of parenting time for the other parent. In fact, designating one parent as the primary physical custodian does not preclude the other parent from having parenting time with the children up to fifty percent of the time.. Along those lines, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases as the children age, provides for a division of holidays, and time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, though, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time

to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines. People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor. However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge will receive limited information in a limited time frame, so choosing whether to have the outcome determined in this matter instead of an agreement requires serious consideration. This is not to say that such conflicts which arise should never be litigated. However, once you proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands and the Court is free to accept your position, the position of the other parent, or a position unrelated to either based upon the evidence heard and the Court’s believe about what is in the best interests of the children. If parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved. There are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules and flexibility for holidays. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters, it is a win-win for all involved.

CHS freshman makes duck boxes By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Carmel High School freshman Corey Varnau was looking for an Eagle Scout project, he turned to another Eagle scouting Scout for advice. Varnau said Jud Scott, an Eagle Scout and owner of Vine & Branch, a tree care business in Carmel celebrating its 40th anniversary, was talking with Varnau’s grandfather about benches made with recycled ash wood. When Varnau contacted Scott about that possibility, Scott said it would be a better idea to build wood duck boxes. “That’s where it got rolling,” said Varnau, who received his Eagle Scout award for his project April 21. Scott said Vine & Branch would donate lumber for the boxes if he would use ash wood. Ash trees die from the emerald ash borer, a beetle that feeds off the ash tree. The beetles do are not attracted to the boxes, Scott said. The boxes provide a nesting area for the mother ducks. “I made five wood, duck boxes and five prothonotary warbler boxes,” Varnau said. With help from fellow Troop 202 Boy Scouts and family members, Varnau installed the duck boxes and warbler boxes at Oliver’s Woods

Both properties are owned by the Central Indiana Land Trust. “The poles are about six feet above the ground, and we install it close to the water so the ducks can swim up to it, and when they’re ready to get out, they can hop back in the water,” Varnau said. In appreciation for his help, Varnau made five more duck boxes to give to Scott.

Student succeeds in chess By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Orchard Park Elementary School fifth-grader Abhinay Mundrigi was the only student from Indiana to walk away achievement with a trophy at the 2016 U.S. Chess Federation’s National Elementary Chess Championship. He finished 23rd out of 452 participants at the May 6 to 8 competition. From the time Mundrigi was seven years old, he played chess with his father. “This is how I got started,” Mundrigi said. “I asked my dad to teach me, and he taught me some basics.” Mundrigi moved to Carmel from Michigan a little more than a year ago. He competed in the Michigan Scholastic Club Championship for chess and placed second prior to heading to nationals. “This win gave me the confidence to go to the national competition,” Mundrigi said. The competition for students in kindergarten through fifth grade was held in Nashville, Tenn. Mundrigi qualified for the fifth-grade U900 section. Each chess player competed in seven matches. Abhinay scored 5.5 (5 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). “I didn’t have any team to play with, so it

was really hard when I first got there,” Mundrigi said, “but I got used to it, and it got easier and easier, until one point I felt very comfortable with it.” Prasanna Neriyanuru, Mundrigi’s mother, was very proud of her son’s success. She said she knew he would be a great chess player because of his ability to analyze and solve problems and said the importance of playing chess in their home and that her family is her chess team. “We don’t look at (chess) as an activity to do,” she said. “We look at it as a family tradition.”

As Hamilton County Leadership Academy approaches 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. Wendy A. Phillips, HCLA Class of 2002 Hometown: Indianapolis Lives and works: Carmel Family: Greg, her husband of 47 years; a son, a daughter and two grandchildren Career: “Worked joyfully for the Carmel Clay Public Library for 35 years, the last 15 as director.” She retired on June 30, 2015. Biggest HCLA takeaway: “The diversity of opportunity available to anyone who welcomes it.” Favorite HCLA curriculum activity: “Beck’s Hybrids field trip. Having always lived in a city or suburban environment, I really appreciate the value of our agricultural heritage.” Most vivid HCLA memory: “The opening

retreat made a lasting impression, not only because of the fellowship, but because it occurred just days after 9/11. I think everyone Phillips there felt united in purpose as a result.” How has HCLA changed your perspective on leadership? “Leadership skills can be honed and exhibited in a variety of ways. It’s not limited only to those at the top. Leaders can and do emerge from all levels of an organization.” What will Hamilton County leaders be saying about our community 25 years from now? That it is “a model for managed growth and development, a highly desirable place to live and work and raise a family.” What is your vision for the future of Hamilton County? “A community where everyone’s basic needs are met (we still have people who are food insecure) and where opportunities abound for all.” What is one change you would love to see that would improve our community for everyone? “Mass transit.”

Carmel’s ProCartz makes custom golf carts for IndyCar drivers, others By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com All eyes will be on the 33 cars circling the historic oval during the Indianapolis 500, but a bigger fleet of much slower vehicles are just as important to pulling COVER STORY off a successful event behind the scenes. The many teams that make the Greastest Spectacle in Racing a reality frequently rely on golf carts to efficiently get them from one end of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the other. And one Carmel-based company has provided several of them. Zionsville couple Mike and Pau Nelson are the owners of ProCartz, and they expect to have more than 20 of their golf carts at the IMS on race day. Many basic models are rented to move race-day staff and guests quickly around the grounds of the 2 1/2-mile oval, while others have been customized for current and former drivers. ProCartz sponsored a cart for Andretti Autosport IndyCar Series rookie driver Alexander Rossi, a California native who now lives in Indianapolis. The cart is black – like his Honda racecar – and features his name and number, 98. “Obviously, the facility here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is pretty big, and it’s a busy schedule here. You’re kind of all over the place,” Rossi said. “To have something that’s functional and looks cool at the same time is great.”

The start line

The Nelsons have been in the business since 1999, when Mike founded Pit-Pro to provide top-of-the-line, customized carts for race teams. When several central Indiana municipalities began allowing golf carts on public streets in recent years, their demand and client base spiked. In 2014, they changed the company name to ProCartz and opened a showroom at 9850 N. Michigan Rd. in Carmel. “Golf carts have exploded on the north side of Indianapolis, so two years ago, we brought the shop up here, and it has absolutely taken off,” Mike said. Carmel and Zionsville do not allow golf carts on streets, but the Nelsons hope that will soon change. As cities and towns promote walkable, sustainable developments, golf carts offer a great transportation alternative, they said. “One of our ulterior motives is to get Zionsville to ultimately look at allowing golf carts on the street. It’s the perfect town

for it,” Mike said. “We have parking issues in Zionsville, and therefore any cars that we can eliminate – and park three golf carts instead – would be a better thing.” ProCartz offers carts that range from basic models to street-legal vehicles, which are required to have a license plate, seatbelts, turn signals and other safety features. Their carts can be customized in a variety of ways. They’ve created carts that look like old Chevrolet trucks, New York Yankees uniforms and a pirate ship. “It’s not about what I can do, honestly. It’s what your checkbook is going to allow me to do,” Mike said. “The sky is the limit.”

Watching history

The month of May is among the busiest times of the year for ProCartz, as warmer weather urges clients to bring in their carts for maintenance or encourage others to buy one. This year – with the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 – has been especially busy, Mike said. After spending so much time helping others prepare for the big race, Mike plans to enjoy it as a fan, as he has most years since he was a boy growing up in Logansport. Pau, who grew up in Mexico, has also attended the race in recent years. “It’s just very exciting to see the final product after being involved,” Pau said. “I go more for the experience than for the actual race. It’s just so exciting, and the people are so wild.” Mike and Pau met through Up With People, an organization that provides opportunities for travel, service learning, performance art and more. They’ve been married for 20 years, but

when Pau first told her friends and family she was moving to Indiana, they gave her a blank stare until she mentioned the Indianapolis 500. “It has such a history and such a following,” she said. “That’s how people knew where I was going.”

Carmel says no to golf carts – for now

Many cities, such as Lebanon, Noblesville and Westfield, have adopted ordinances in recent years to allow golf carts on public streets. At the May 16 Carmel City Council meeting, a resident of the Village of West Clay asked the council to consider a similar measure. Councilor Carol Schleif said that she had spoken with the Carmel Police Dept. about the issue and planned to speak with the city attorney about what a possible ordinance could look like. “We don’t want somebody to get hurt and not have their insurance pay for it,” Schlief said. Mike Nelson said he expects more Indiana municipalities, including his hometown of Zionsville, to embrace the trend in the coming years. “(In) good old Indiana, we’ve never been one to adapt to things fast. We let everybody else play out and see how it works,” he said. “It’s a matter of (time) in my opinion. It will happen; it’s just got to get there.”

Could Clinton lose in Cali? With the Democratic Party seemingly headed for the kind of upheaval the Republican Party finds itself in these days, we find it strange that Dem frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) has refused to debate challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) next month in California. Hold the debate, anyway, and leave her spot open? Just a thought. In our opinion, that would have been her chance to push forward her agenda in a way that might have united the core of the party. Clinton probably will capture the 475 delegates in the June 7 California primary, and that, it seems, will be that. However, any slipup by the candidate or her campaign could propel Sanders even more than ever imagined, and if he were to win the Golden State, that would be an upset of epic proportions. ••• The Republicans’ “presumptive” nominee, Donald Trump (N.Y.), has been fairly quiet of late. Media sources inside and near the Beltway have him meeting with campaign experts – even those of bygone eras – in a girding for the general election race against, we believe, Clinton. That being the case, it should prove to be a battleground, the likes of which we never again may see. When people question Trump’s fitness for the presidency – and this is no endorsement, trust us – we are compelled to point to his multiple successes around the globe and the fact that he is adept at hiring high-quality men and women to get the jobs done. We have to assume it would be the same with his cabinet. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Virtues and vices Commentary by Terry Anker We don’t talk much about virtues these days. And, the concept of vice has been turned into little more than the moniker for the squad of government enforcers assigned to keep humanity out of the gutter. But, for centuries, we all would have talked, a lot, about virtue and even some about vice. As soon as we humans could spend a bit of our time doing more than trying to stay alive, we have mused on those conditions of being that could help us to become the best that we might be. Plato, Shakespeare, Confucius, Mohamed and Jesus Christ were all among the voices guiding and challenging our thinking – helping us to frame those characteristics most likely to put us on the path to an ethical and soul-fulfilling life. Prudence, justice, temperance and courage framed the classical understanding of virtue. Vice, likewise morphing across time and continent, has more-or-less been settled

as defined as something degrading society or the social order. Closer to home, it is accepted as something degrading to our own health and wellbeing. With shifting morays, our understanding of virtue and vice has likewise been reconsidered. Yet, in recent years, we seem to shun the concepts. Perhaps, our desire to be perceived as open-minded has led us to avoid the tags at all cost. Too often, we refuse to pursue virtue for fear that it might alienate others who fail to see the value in the characteristics. And, we eschew labeling our actions as vices thinking having standards somehow makes us close minded. Shouldn’t we embrace the character traits that matter and understand why?

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEEK Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.

– Henry Ford

Prison is tough, for inmates at least. My husband and I are rather enjoying our term as wardens. We’ve grounded humor our oldest, and he is seriously struggling to adjust to life behind bars. Attica! Make no mistake, Inmate 7 is guilty. We warned him about keeping up his grades, and thanks to the internet, we can view them whenever we want. I couldn’t sleep the other night, so I did a cursory background check. Turns out our juvie hasn’t been keeping us in the loop. The following morning, we read the accused his heavily-amended Miranda rights, and then promptly threw him in the can. He received no phone call. That first day of incarceration wasn’t too bad; he got work release for school and to drive his baby sister to dance. But then the weekend arrived, and his confinement took on new meaning. The complaining, whining and general depression soon morphed into desperate requests for shock probation. Denied. Twice. He did the crime. He’s doing the time. Then it got really interesting. Apparently word of his confinement spread quickly among his peeps, and we soon saw various attempts to break him out. While he was mowing the back lawn, for example, two would-be accomplices tried to jump our storm-swollen creek and pass him food (and shivs?). He’s not in solitary, mind you. We let him keep his phone, which basically keeps him in touch with his entire posse. But the arguement of abuse is rampant. Physical labor, lack of junk food and restrictions on electronics make him think he’s being water-boarded. Sorry, Inmate 7. You’ll get three hots and a cot, and you’ll like it. Or not. We don’t really care. In fact, it’s almost entertaining to watch him grapple with the knowledge that he did this to himself. Hopefully, he’ll learn from his experience and make smarter choices next time. If not, we have no problem Shawshank-ing his butt again. Some kids just take longer to figure out how to make parole, and he might be one of them. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Georgia on my mind Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I recently returned from a vacation to Savannah, Ga. We stopped first in St. Augustine, Fla., the oldest city in the nation. They take pride in the fact humor that things haven’t changed much in that city in 400 years, but I don’t think a rib-eye steak cost $42.95 in 1611. We went with our friends, the Murphys. John has a PhD in statistics, so it scared me when he said there was only a 50/50 probability we’d all still like each other after the trip. There are some things that put stress on a vacation with other people: too much alcohol, talking politics, driving recklessly and eating sloppily. My wife said if I’d stop doing this stuff, the Murphys might travel with us again. People I vacation with have to tolerate lots of my quirky behaviors. For example, I am totally paranoid about losing my cell phone, my wallet, my passport and my tickets. I am continually checking my back and front pockets to be sure I have everything. The TSA agent let me walk right through security without being scanned because he said no one on his staff could do a better job of patting me down than I just had. There were some dogs sniffing suitcases at the airport and the four of us were debating whether they were trying to detect drugs or explosives. Mary Ellen was so convinced it was explosives that she made me a rather sizeable wager that she was correct. To prove she was right, she decided to ask. “The dogs are searching for explosives,” said the officer, “not drugs.” “Oh, that’s great to hear,” said Mary Ellen … which led to a thorough search of her carryon bag.

More trouble was to come. The next day, I was pulled over by a Georgia Highway Patrolman for rolling through a stop sign. I was surprised to be stopped for this infraction because I had heard that Savannah was very laid back, and coming to an abrupt halt seemed rather uncharacteristic of the local pace of life. And whether I would actually get a ticket was not helped by the three smug people in the car who thought it was funny that someone would be pulled over while going three miles per hour. My wife, who normally takes interaction with law enforcement very seriously, was snapping photos of me talking to the officer, explaining to him she had shots of me in a scrapbook being pulled over in 13 states. Very funny. The trooper gave me a warning instead of a ticket since, as the cautionary note stated, “there were mitigating circumstances for the infraction,” which either meant I was a law-abiding tourist who was sightseeing and didn’t notice the sign, or he was cutting me some slack for having to drive around with three goofy passengers distracting me. We all had a great time, but we wondered if we would we be pushing our luck if we went on another trip together. I asked John to apply his statistical acumen to this proposition, factoring in all of our personalities, length of the trip and any other related variables. “I can’t give you the specific odds,” said Dr. Murphy with a smile, “but chances are we’ll all have a better time if I do the driving.”

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Thanks to local friends and family for support Editor, Never take life for granted is what my family has learned in the last few months as we cope with our sweet granddaughter Hannah’s brain injury. Last weekend there was a benefit dinner held at the Carmel American Legion. Charlie and Judy Holmes are the great aunt and uncle of Hannah. Love of family knows no bounds, as these two dear relatives organized this fundraiser that raised over $9,000. Friends, relatives, Legion members, Legion Riders and so many compassionate people gathered to work this event on May 21 to help

3-year-old Hannah. So many others came to support the cause because we all have little ones. Hannah’s recovery is going to be a long journey. It is just like starting life over again. She will need to learn to swallow, eat, walk and talk. Rehabilitation will be a long road with many hurdles and expenses. The generosity, love and support from members of your community is overwhelming. The family of Hannah is humbled by all those who rallied in support of our precious little granddaughter. Beth Hoke Grandmother to Hannah

Zika virus reduces blood supply By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

To help with that, the organization gave away free Indy 500 Carb Day tickets to encourage donations. “The need for blood is fairly constant, 550 donors are needed each day, and we have minimums and maximums for each type that we keep on our shelves in addition to that which we send to hospitals,” Fagan said.

Dispatches

Moli Hall juggles duties in ‘Scaler’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As if juggling her roles as actor and producer wasn’t tough enough, Moli Hall has been working alongside her father film and fellow producer, Dan T. Hall, on a new movie. “Being both an actor and a producer on a project is extremely demanding,” Moli said. “As a producer, I have to nitpick all the details of the film, including the acting, which proves to be difficult as I have to try to be impartial with myself, the director/writer, my dad and my co-stars, who have become great friends of mine. Learning to be unbiased with my own acting has been extremely beneficial in my growth as an actor. I’ve learned so much about acting due to being a producer and honestly critiquing my performance.” Moli, a 22-year-old former Carmel resident who is now pursing acting/modeling in Atlanta, is one of the stars of “Scaler, Dark Spirit.” The premiere will be held at 7:30 p.m. June

18 in the IMAX Theatre at the Indiana State Museum. “My dad and I are extremely close, but also, we are both extremely stubborn,” Moli said. “Occasionally, we would adamantly disagree on a line or scene, and I’ve had to learn how to let it go and trust his vision, as ‘Scaler’

really is his brainchild.” Dan, who said he received great creative input from Moli and other actors, said it was loosely based on a paranormal event he was helping film. “At the end, I included some footage from the actual event that kind of spawned all this,” Dan said. Dan, who lives in Broad Ripple, had been filming a documentary on paranormal investigation in a St. Joseph’s, Mo., house a few years ago. A non-practicing Catholic priest had purchased the house. “He had started to remodel and something (paranormal) was released,” Dan said. “He thought he could control it, and I believe it was controlling him.” The cast of “Scaler” also includes Fishers resident Dija Henry and her daughter Selah. “It was an amazing experience as always when working with Dan and the rest of the cast,” Dija said.

Carmel comedian hosts Enchantment Ball By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Mike Gardner and his daughter, Helena, 5. (Submitted photo)

Mike Gardner has a special bond with his 5-year-old daughter, Helena. The Carmel resident, a family stand-up comedian, has shared that connection while they travel around the nation to comedy clubs. They’ve enjoyed two elegant daddydaughter dances in Kokomo, where Gardner grew up. Gardner said he believed it was time to have an event like that in Indianapolis, so he started planning the Enchantment Ball, which will debut at the Conrad in Indianapolis from 5:30 to 9 p.m. June 4. The evening includes dinner, dancing and carriage rides. Gardner said the target ages are 3-13, but it’s up to the discretion of the parent. “I really want to make it a night to remember for the girls,” Gardner said. Gardner said the numbers might be low this year, but he sees it growing each year. “It’s an awesome night for dads to bond with their daughters,” Gardner said. “A lot of my mail comes from single mothers

who say ‘I wish my daughter’s dad would do this.’ Women are naturally awesome parents, it’s kind of in their DNA. Guys have to try harder.” The key for him is to be interested in whatever his daughter is, Gardner said. “Right now, it’s dressing up like a princess and being a girly-girl,” Gardner said. Gardner, 32, travels to comedy clubs and corporate events nationally. “I’m getting big enough to the point where I can cherry-pick my gigs and travel less,” Gardner said. “She’s traveled with me on the road for quite awhile. Now it’s traveling for Friday and Saturday shows. When I first started off, it was traveling two weeks at a time.” Gardner shares custody with Helena’s mother, who also lives in Carmel. Helena will enter kindergarten at Carmel Elementary School in August so they will have to scale back their trips. The cost of the Enchantment Ball is $169 per couple. For more, call 317-647-0909. During the event, the girls will fill backpacks for less-fortunate kids.

Brew Bracket set for June 11 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ryan Coyle figures everyone enjoys a little tournament-style competition. So, why not bring that competition to the drinks craft beer world? Coyle and Mike Sale, both Carmel residents, started Brew Bracket in 2010. “The craft beer industry (is) booming and has been for the past five or six years,” Coyle said. “It’s almost tripled in size since we started. No one else in the county holds events like this where it is a blind, side-byside comparison where patrons can find their new beers. We bring eight brewers head-tohead in tournament-style competition. It’s all the same category.” Brew Bracket will host an event featuring experimental wheat brews from 2 to 5 p.m. June 11 at Tomlinson Tap Room at the Indianapolis City Market. Tickets are $35. A portion of the proceeds from Brew Bracket events are always donated to an Indianapolisarea charity. This event will benefit 100 Voices of Hope, a cancer research facility through IU Simon Cancer Center. Coyle said they have donated more than $10,000 to area charities. “The brewers absolutely love our events because it gives them the chance to try new things and find a beer that could be one of the staple beers in their system,” Coyle said.

Carmel’s Flix Brewhouse head brewer Chris Knott was previously an assistant and head brewer for the Ram Restaurant & Brewery in downtown Indianapolis, which has won three of the Brew Bracket contests. Coyle said it would be interesting to see if Knott can continue his winning ways at Flix. Coyle said the event was previously held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. In addition, Coyle and Sale starting selling a Brew Bracket hosting kit, which costs $35, in 2015. “People can do this at home or at the office,” Coyle said. “We’ve sold them pretty much all over the globe.” The kits can be purchased at brewbracket. com, along with tickets for the June 11 event.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Joan Hilger was desperate to find a nursing home for her mother, Marilyn Klotz, who has dementia and Alzheimer’s. seniors Klotz lived on her own but needed help, so Hilger began the search for a safe place for her to live. “I said, ‘It’s ridiculous, they are building so many places I have to be able to find something for her,’” she said. She said she looked at 17 options. She heard about elder abuse, terrible food, awful smells and institutional feels. “I was crying because of the reviews,” she said. “I was depressed because I didn’t want to put my mom in a place like that because it would be detrimental for my mom’s mental state. I looked at one, and it made me feel like my mom would be put in storage. I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.” Finally, Hilger and Klotz decided on Green House Senior Living, the new senior care living facility created by Old Town Design Group on East 126th Street. Green House is the first nursing home in the state of Indiana to be licensed to construct “small house” homes for providing nursing care. There are six cottage buildings that are each

8,000 square feet with 12 private bedrooms, including private bathrooms and showers. Each building has a central “hearth room” with an open kitchen and dining area that seats more than 12 people. Friends and family can come and cook with their loved ones in the shared kitchen. There’s a fully equipped physical therapy center for exercises in each building. There’s also a library and a spa/salon in each building. Caregivers live and work full time in each cottage. Steven Tyler, of Old Town Design Group, said the goal is for the caretakers to “almost become a family” with the residents they serve. For more, visit greenhouseseniorliving.com.

Barber shop celebrates 10 years By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Carmel City Council member Jeff Worrell wants to gauge the community pulse, he knows one great spot anniversary to go. “When I want to find out what folks are thinking, it’s time for a haircut,” said Worrell, who has been a frequent customer of Main Street Barber Shop through the years. “I love going in there because it helps me to hang on to the small-town feel. Carmel wouldn’t have an authentic Main Street without the Main Street Barber Shop.” Owner Jason Peek’s Main Street Barber Shop, 41 W. Main St., will celebrate its 10th anniversary June 3. Peek and Matt Stilger had been working together at the Carmel Barber Shop when they decided to start their own shop. “We came across the street and wanted to do our thing,” Peek said. “We opened this up and have been booming ever since. We had the place up and running in 11 days.” Peek, 43, said the downtown Arts & Design District has grown up around his business. “Back in the day, we would sit on the bench and you (would) barely see any cars go by,” said Peek, whose barbers include his 20-year-

old daughter, Ktaya. “Everything has grown up around us, and we’ve grown up with the community.” Carmel resident Terry Anker also has watched the growth. “The local barbershop is an American institution of local news, a shared joke, and a clean cut,” said Anker, chairman of Anker Consulting Group. Peek said he has had some customers for nearly 16 years. “Once we get someone in here, we usually don’t lose them,” Peek said.

Enjoy the IDC experience Commentary by Randy Sorrell First timers are a little shocked, uncertain of what to expect and a bit overwhelmed. Delightfully so! The products are fresh. The finishes are smooth, and the building is a testament to well-thought design. Home to 15 showrooms and 20 design firms, the Indiana Design Center is a relevant destination for anyone considering a home remodel or new construction project. The building is open to the public, and the staff will be happy to direct your journey. Our experience was formalized Feb. 15, when we moved into an IDC studio space. Suite 219 is industrial, edgy, inviting and thriving. Our strategic move has exceeded our expectations, and I am thrilled to witness giddy first-timers and seasoned returnees explore the building’s offerings. Collaborations A few recent projects prompted us to bring in Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery for interior lighting, faucets and bathroom vanities. A patio update saw us working with Caryn at Drapery Street for porch blinds, Brian at Godby Hearth & Home for a fire feature consult and Tay with The Premier Group for audio. Genius designer Adam Gibson has included our firm in a kitchen remodel. And of

Cost vs. value in your remodel Commentary by David Decker One of the most common topics our clients ask us about when it comes to rerenovations modeling is the budget. People want to know what they can expect to spend on a remodel and where that money is going. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and if financing is needed. When planning your remodel, it is important to consider how long you intend to stay in your home. If you think you’ll be selling within the next five years, you’ll want to look at any improvements you make as an investment. With each project and home being different, it is nearly impossible to give a set figure on what a renovation should cost. That said, we can provide some guidelines to help For a complete, master-bathroom remodel, The Affordable determine an appropriate remodelCompanies recommends budgeting 7 to 12 percent of ing budget and understand where your home’s value.

Ruins of Castle of Dürnstein, Austria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Dürnstein and King Richard Commentary by Don Knebel Dürnstein is a charming village along the Danube River in northeast Austria, 50 miles upstream from Vienna. Its main travel claim to fame is an ancient castle that once held as prisoner English King Richard I, better known as “Richard the Lionheart.” In 1188 A.D., King Richard joined Philip II, the King of France; Leopold V, the Duke of Austria; and other Christian rulers in the Third Crusade, seeking to take back the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Crusaders were successful in capturing significant territory, but were unable to retake Jerusalem, their primary objective. On his way back to England in 1192, Richard was captured by representatives of Leopold, who had been offended when Richard tore down the Austrian flag after a successful battle. Leopold held King Richard captive in a castle on the hill overlooking Dürnstein. He was eventually freed when England paid Leopold a ransom of about 100,000 pounds of silver, twice England’s annual income at the

time. The money helped finance the construction of Wiener Neustadt (“New Vienna”) Today, Dürnstein, with fewer than 1,000 residents, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley, famous for the quality of its wines and apricots. A sign on a street leading into town encourages people to climb the hill to the ruins of Dürnstein’s castle, where they can get a great view of the valley and learn the story behind the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart. The sign notes that Leopold, called “the Virtuous,” was not able to spend the ransom money very long because, soon after being excommunicated by the Pope for kidnapping a fellow Crusader, he “fell from a horse and died unexpectedly.” In fact, Leopold died from gangrene after ordering one of his servants to hack off his broken foot with an axe.
