Council, pet hotel reach compromise on noise ordinance By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
The Carmel City Council unanimously voted June 3 to update its noise ordinance to address sounds coming from CITY NEWS businesses near residential areas. One change to the ordinance limits sounds from a business within 50 feet of a residential unit to no more than 70 decibels — equivalent to sounds produced by a vacuum cleaner — for more than 10 minutes on aggregate within a 20-minute period of time as measured from the residential property line. The council also removed decibel limits that were not to be exceeded at any time. “This was based on recommendations from a sound engineer and was a compromise between the concerns of the residents who, prior to this particular change, had ultimately no recourse. There was a blanket exception for any business, so any noise could be produced,” said Benjamin Legge, the city’s assistant corporation counsel. “It is believed to be a good compromise between the needs of residents to enjoy the peace and quiet of their home while also allowing businesses the flexibility to operate.” The council began reviewing its noise ordinance after a resident who lives near Best Friends Pet Hotel on Gradle Drive complained about barking dogs. Best Friends has operated in the same location for more than 30 years, long before apartments were built nearby. Attorney Eric Schmadecke, who spoke on behalf of Best Friends Pet Hotel at a May 29 committee meeting, said his client is support-

ive of the changes. “This was a compromise on the city’s part, which we appreciate, and on Best Friends’ part,” Schmadecke said. “Based on our numbers it’s going to be tight in some ways, but we believe with some management training this allows enough flexibility if there are situations where staff can tell the noise level is elevated.” The city council also made its own amendment to the ordinance during the meeting, removing a section at the request of councilor Sue Finkam that prohibited owning an animal that made “frequent or long-continuing noise” audible more than 50 feet away. The city has been reviewing the issue since the fall of 2018. During that time Best Friends hired a sound engineer to measure the noise produced on site and develop solutions to mitigate it.

If we had 63 violations, then think about the numbers in some of these urban districts with the busy streets.” Farrand said. “At some point in time, we’ll get a release (with total violation numbers) from the state, and it’ll be in the thousands.

Carmel City Council President Jeff Worrell credits volunteer work with launching his political career. He began CITY NEWS serving the community through CarmelFest approximately 25 years ago, and that experience led to other opportunities to volunteer and eventually a desire to give back to Carmel as an elected official. Now, he’s hoping to make it easier for fellow Carmel residents to make similar connections through Volunteer Carmel, a new website that allows users to sign up to serve at a variety of events throughout the city. It creates a database for the city to track and coordinate volunteers and their interests and skills. “There is a tremendous number of people who view contributing to their community as a really important part of their life, and if we don’t have a way to get them engaged, not only are they disappointed but we’ve lost a great opportunity for great people to help make the community a better place,” Worrell said. The Volunteer Carmel page lists monthly, seasonal and year-round opportunities to serve. It includes city-run events, such as Meet Me on Main and Bike Carmel, and those organized by other entities, such as

the Carmel Marathon and CarmelFest. It also provides information on how to volunteer with local nonprofits. Users can create a profile and indicate when they are available to volunteer and which tasks most interest them. The city attempted to launch Volunteer Carmel in 2018, but the local company selected to develop the software went out of business. This time around, the city paid $2,600 to have Colorado-based CERVIS build and manage the software. “We ended up having to start over, so those things happen, but we were trying to give a local software company a shot,” Worrell said. “Now, we are ready to go again with a vendor that’s been doing this for a long time.” Learn more and sign up for Volunteer Carmel at ow.ly/ahCE50uyZOT.

White River Vision Plan unveiled By Lisa Gauthier Mitchison news@currentnoblesville.com After more than a year of collaboration, officials from Hamilton and Marion counties unveiled the White ENVIRONMENT River Vision Plan at a June 3 press conference in Indianapolis. “It’s not every day that Indianapolis partners with Hamilton County, but it’s been an absolute pleasure,” said Emily Mack, director of the Indianapolis Dept. of Metropolitan Development. “It’s been a wonderful collaboration.” The plan divides 58 miles of the White River into zones intended to reflect the character of the surrounding community and identifies seven anchor areas for exploration. Proposals within the anchor areas include a new trail from Noblesville’s Potter’s Bridge Park to Cicero, a viewing tower at Strawtown Koteewi Park, enhanced river access in downtown Noblesville, improved pedestrian crossings at Allisonville Stretch near Conner Prairie and outdoor adventure activities at Oliver’s Crossing near I-465. “Partners of the White River has three goals: Improving water quality, increasing public access and fostering a better appreciation of the value of the White River, all of which are embedded in the White River Plan,” said Gene D’Adamo, CEO and president of the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, which provided grant money to Partners of the White River.

Brenda Myers said it’s time to put the many months of planning into action. “When we embarked 13 months ago, we had three phases to this endeavor: discover, envision and action. And I think I would rename action to activate because now we are at the point where we need to think about activating all this planning,” Myers said. “(The planning team) respected community and they respected ownership, and I think they’ve formulated a plan that works for everyone and anyone. This is a river that is an asset for everyone to enjoy.” For more, visit mywhiteriver.com. View and comment on the plan through June 30 at indy.civicomment.org.

Sophomore Hannah Kim, who had three goals in the championship game, finished with 61 goals and 18 assists for 79 points. “We had lost a lot of talented seniors, and it felt good to win this as a team because we worked so hard for it,” Kim said. Maddie Dumke, an All-American defender who will play for Marian University next season, led the team in forced turnovers with 25. “I think last year was more exciting because it was our first one, but this was still pretty awesome because we played a lot of hard teams in the tournament,” Dumke said.

Cathedral High School girls tennis coach Mark Noe admitted he was still in shock. “My emoTENNIS tions were up and down the whole time, thinking we’re going to pull it out, we’re not going to pull it out,” the longtime Carmel resident said. “It was crazy.” Pittman In one of the most dramatic state finals in recent years, the top-ranked Irish nipped No. 2 Park Tudor 3-2 June 1 at North Central to capture its second state title under Noe. Cathedral junior Meg Coleman battled leg cramps to defeat Jule Schulte at No. 2 singles in a third set tiebreaker for the deciding point. Cathedral sophomore Ellie Pittman, a Carmel resident, dropped just one game in her No. 1 singles match against Park Tudor’s Lauren Long to remain unbeaten headed into the state singles competition. “I’m more mentally tough when there are a lot of people watching this year,” she said. “I’m more calm instead of letting it get un-
der my skin. We were all determined to win this year because we were disappointed after losing last year.” The Irish lost 3-2 to Carmel in the 2018 state title match. Cathedral turned the tables, beating No. 3 Carmel 3-2 in the morning semifinals. Coleman provided the final point in that one as well, edging senior Apurva Manas 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 to send Noe the Irish to the final. Carmel got its two points with victories by the No. 1 doubles team of sophomore Leila Antony and freshman Lauren Littell and No. 2 duo of sophomore Katelyn Conley and senior Selena Liu. The Greyhounds finished 18-3. Carmel also lost to Cathedral 3-2 April 23. “We got beat pretty badly at singles (in first meeting),” Carmel first-year coach Bryan Hanan said. “I challenged them and they challenged themselves. We came out and played to win instead of just playing to be here. I just reminded them we won the past two state championships. We’re not going to roll over for anyone, and they didn’t.” The Greyhounds will return five starters.

Moe makes mark in wrestling By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When her then third-grade daughter, Kendall, brought an informational flyer home about a wrestling club, Kristi Moe never figured it would turn ACHIEVEMENT into a passion. “She brought it home and said she wanted to try it,” Moe said. “I didn’t think anything about it. She never turned back. She’s been doing it ever since.” When the family moved to Carmel in July 2018, Kendall started wrestling with Carmel USA Wrestling Club. She practices with Contenders Wrestling Academy in Brownsburg and Kriebs Club Wrestling in Pendleton. “I find it enjoyable because it’s fun,” Kendall said. “I always tackled my sisters when I was little, and I’ve been yelled at for that. It’s fun to get out there and do that. I get to show people who I really am. People don’t think girls can do stuff like that.” Kendall, 11, has one older sister, three younger sisters and a younger brother. Kendall, who just completed fifth grade at Prairie Trace Elementary School, wrestles in the 65-pound weight class. She finished fifth in that weight class for 12 and under at last month’s Women’s National Championships for freestyle in Irving, Texas. Previously, she was part of the first girls
team, called the Indiana Ignites, that the Indiana State Wrestling Association sent to the Heartland Duals in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The team went undefeated in the first round April 13 and earned a spot in the Diamond Division April 14. Kendall won all four matches April 13 and went 1-4 April 14. The team finished third. “I like that I get to meet all these other people, so it’s really awesome,” Kendall said. Moe said the girls come together from around the state. “Kendall and the other girls were saying it’s nice to come together as a team and be with other girls they connect with because they are usually the only girl,” Moe said. Before wrestling, Kendall said she tried soccer and swimming but didn’t embrace either one. “During wrestling, I tried gymnastics and it wasn’t really my thing, either,” she said. “Girls wrestling is growing throughout the country,” Moe said. Kendall’s father, Skylar, wrestled in high school. None of her siblings wrestle yet. Carmel Wrestling Club has started a practice for girls only at 5 p.m. Sundays in the wrestling room of Carmel High School. There is no charge and all abilities are welcome, Moe said.

O’Malia celebrates anniversary By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jill O’Malia cherishes the memories of her reign as Miss Indiana. Those memories are MISS INDIANA still fresh 50 years later. O’Malia, whose maiden name is Jackson, was crowned in July 1969. “I was very shocked when I won because I was just eligible (age-wise),” said O’Malia, who won the summer after graduating from Anderson High School. O’Malia — 1969 “The person that won Miss America that year had already graduated from college. I came in as an 18-year-old that was not afraid and had some talent.” O’Malia won the Miss Anderson title in the city’s inaugural pageant to advance to Miss Indiana. The Fishers resident will be recognized at the Miss Indiana competition for the 50th anniversary of her victory. The finals are June 15 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. “As an 18-year-old, it seemed I earned a Ph.D in public relations, which is really
true,” O’Malia said. “I traveled all the time. Most of the time I would speak or sing. It gave me a huge benefit as far as maturing.” The Miss America pageant was in September in Atlantic City. “My hometown of Anderson supported me from the very beginning of my reign,” she said. “In fact, the city chartered a jet, unbeknownst to me, and brought 100 of my friends to Atlantic City for two nights of the competition. When I walked the runway for the first night, I saw their signs, heard O’Malia — 2019 their cheers and saw their encouraging faces.” O’Malia attended Butler University the first semester but had to take the second semester off because of all the travel for Miss Indiana. She is grateful the Miss Indiana scholarships paid for her education. A fine arts major at Butler, O’Malia has been on professional and amateur stages since she was 13. She still performs regularly in community theater. Her husband, Dennis, is a senior sales executive for Current Publishing, Inc.

Evelyn Harrison had a unique reason for entering the Miss Outstanding Teen competition. MISS INDIANA “When I started pageants, I actually had zero interest,” Evelyn said. “But I wasn’t really close with my sister (Bella), and I wanted something we could do together. I knew she did pageants and there was one coming up. On a last-minute decision, I decided to sign up. Capital City is the one I did last year and it was the first one that I won. This year is so much better because the whole reason I got into pageants was because of my sister, and now I get to go through the whole week of Miss Indiana with my sister. We’ve gotten a lot closer because of it.” The Carmel sisters will compete in different portions of the Miss Indiana week, which culminates with the finals June 15 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. Evelyn, 17, who will be a senior at Carmel High School in the fall, will be in the Miss Outstanding Teen competition for the second consecutive year. Bella, 18, who graduated from CHS in December 2017, will be in the

Miss Indiana competition, with the winner advancing to the Miss America contest. Bella was a Miss Outstanding Teen contestant in 2017. Bella earned the Miss Heart of Indiana title to qualify for Miss Indiana. Two years ago, she was Miss Heart of Indiana Outstanding Teen. “I love the friends that I’ve made,” Bella said. “The women are so amazing. They in-
spire me to keep going.” Bella created her own platform called Connect the Dots. “It’s about improving mental and physical health,” said Bella, an exercise science major at Indiana University. “I have a passion for helping people understand how their mental and physical health connect.” Evelyn, who advanced by winning Miss Southern Heartland Outstanding Teen, will sing for her talent portion. Her platform is the fight against human trafficking. She is working with State Rep. Karlee Macer to get information about human trafficking taught in health classes. Two other women from Carmel are competing for Miss Indiana. Jenna Schmidt, who moved to Carmel in 2018, will be a participant in the Miss Indiana competition for the third consecutive year. Schmidt, 25, is a special education teacher at Hamilton Heights High School. “My platform is ‘See the Able, Not the Label,’” said Schmidt, who will perform a jazz dance routine to “My Strongest Suit.” Paige Harder, whose parents moved to Carmel after she graduated from Zionsville Community High School, will be in the Miss Indiana contest for the second consecutive year.

Activate Indy aims to connect groups with volunteer work
By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com
A new organization, Activate Indy, wants to bridge group volunteerism and local organizations in need. GIVING BACK “Activate Indy is a project to help get people volunteering in the city of Indianapolis,” creator Craig Smaagaard said. “I’ve observed people wanting to give back but not knowing how to do it. We identified that need and created a program that can link organizations to people who have an interest in giving back and volunteering but don’t know where to start.” Smaagaard works for Thrivent Financial and is the regional vice president of the Great Lakes/Mid America Region and president of the Mid America Thrivent Member network board. His team created the program, and the board supports the initiative. Nine local nonprofits have signed on to provide the volunteer experience. They are Million Meal Movement, Grace Care Center, Student Impact of Westfield, Youth for Christ, Hope Center, Sheltering Wings,
Wheeler Mission, Lutheran Child and Family Services and Shepherd Community Center. “They are ready to take volunteers to help them, and then we partnered with a group called Selfless.ly, which is a platform connecting the volunteer opportunities with the volunteer,” said Smaagaard, a Westfield resident. “It’s a website that people can register through and then sign up directly with the nonprofit. This is all powered through our website.” Activate Indy focuses on groups looking to volunteer. “The whole concept is to have small groups of people experience volunteerism together,” Smaagaard said. The organization recently held a kick-off event at the Biltwell Event Center, with each of the participating nonprofits represented. Allison Melangton, CEO of the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee, was the keynote speaker. “We had 150 groups attend and 107 groups signed up, which is a great start,” Smaagaard said.

Cherish Center helps abuse victims Editor’s note: Current Publishing has begun a partnership with the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group to run a guest column each month to showcase the work being done by area nonprofit organizations. Read more at youarecurrent.com. Commentary by Wendy Gamble Cherish, also known as Advocates for Children and Families Inc., is a nationally accredited child advocacy NONPROFIT center and a local nonprofit. We have been helping children and families in Hamilton County since it was founded in 2009. We exist to serve the needs of children who may have suffered sexual or physical abuse or neglect. When a child reports having been abused in some way, we at Cherish bring together our multi-disciplinary team, which includes representatives from the prosecutor’s office, law enforcement, Dept. of Child Services and a Prevail family advocate. The child then comes to Cherish, where we have forensically trained interviewers who elicit the child’s statement using research-supported, neutral,
non-leading techniques. Our team strives to work together, in a caring way, to discover truth and seek justice for kids. This is all done at no cost to any family or agency. Before this concept was used, if a child disclosed having been abused, they might have had to tell their story several times to several different agencies. This revictimized the child each time they had to repeat their story. Now, it can usually be done once, in a safe and supportive environment. Previously, after reporting abuse, families often felt they were alone, with no assistance in the healing process. Now, after the interview is finished, families are referred to any mental health or other support services that might be needed, including trauma therapy. We have been asked, “Who would provide this if Cherish wasn’t able to pay for these services?” The answer is that the county would be required to fund it, which costs more than $470,000 annually. Wendy Gamble is the executive director of Cherish. She may be contacted at wendy@ cherishcac.org. Learn more about Cherish at cherishcac.org.

Cool Creek’s $400K playground scheduled to open June 15 By Sophie Nulph news@currentinwestfield.com
Cool Creek Park will debut June 15 a new, interactive way for children and parents to play. OUTDOORS The $400,000 project, “A New Way to Play,” will include an interactive station for adults, musical instruments for children and a swing that allows parents and children to swing together. The adult playground will be called the SOMAstation. This portion of the park will be made of six pieces that adults can use to interact with one another. All of the components will be compatible for more than one person, including a new bench with pedals. Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Director Al Patterson said the goal is to help bring parents and grandparents together. “(SOMAstation is) intended for adult socialization and intergenerational play,” Patterson said. Along with the new SOMAstation, the park will include more shaded areas and

drums and chimes for children to learn in a fun environment. Patterson said the colors of the new playground also are important. The bright blue and greens are intended to draw the eye in. The previous playground equipment was 20 years old. It was expected to last 10 to 15 years, Patterson said. Cool Creek Park is at 2000 E. 151st St. in Westfield.

Clay Township to spend $60M to upgrade Carmel parks, fire department facilities By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Clay Township is planning to spend nearly $60 million on improvements to parks and public safety COVER STORY throughout Carmel. Highlights of the Clay Township Impact Program include a new five-story building that will house the Carmel Fire Dept. administration offices and a museum, upgrades at seven parks, a children’s pavilion at Coxhall Gardens and a multi-use indoor fieldhouse at the Carmel Dads’ Club’s Mark Badger Memorial Park. “We wanted to make sure that we were equitable throughout the whole township and that we wouldn’t have any empty pockets,” Clay Township Board President Matt Snyder said. The projects will be funded through bonds and are not expected to affect the tax rate because the township is retiring debt that includes the Monon Community Center. The Carmel City Council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement at a June 3 meeting that allows the township to issue debt to improve city-owned buildings, such as fire stations. All projects have already been approved by the Clay Township Board of Trustees and are in various stages of implementation. Some projects, such as the fire administration building and fieldhouse, are planned to break ground this fall. All are expected to be complete by July 2022. Learn more about the projects at claytownshipimpact.com. The following is an overview:
FIRE DEPARTMENT UPGRADES
A five-story building will be constructed around the existing Carmel Fire Buffs Museum at 210 Veterans Way. The first two floors will be occupied by the museum and Survive Alive Village, an interactive experience that educates children about fire safety. The administrative offices will likely occupy the third and fourth floors, with the fifth floor including space for community gatherings. Another township project will renovate Station 41. Built in 1987, the current CFD headquarters at 2 Civic Square will be gutted to provide living quarters comparable to those at some of Carmel’s newer stations. It also will receive a new roof. Improvement projects also are planned at stations 42, 43 and 44.
restrooms and parking lots through various projects at seven parks. It also will add Wi-Fi to allow officials to better monitor the parks and respond to issues. Improvements include: • Meadlowlark Park — Upgrades to trails, playground and improved accessibility to the fishing area. • Carey Grove Park — Upgrades to playground, trails and potentially add a restroom facility. • Inlow Park — Upgrades to trails and splash park. • River Heritage Park — Upgrades to trails and improved access to the White River. • Flowing Well Park — Upgrades to parking lot and erosion control to stabilize creek banks. • West Park — Upgrades to the playground, splash pad, parking lot and more.

BADGER PARK FIELDHOUSE
The township plans to construct a multiuse, indoor fieldhouse at Mark Badger Memorial Park, which is owned by the Carmel Dads’ Club. The facility would allow for year-round activities and include an indoor synthetic field, walking track, locker rooms and sports courts.
FIELDHOUSE FEEDBACK Carmel City Councilor Ron Carter expressed concerns about plans to build a fieldhouse at Mark Badger Memorial Park and instead suggested Clay Township consider building it in Merchants’ Square near 116th Street and Keystone Parkway.

“It is a beautiful, solid building with a pitched roof, masonry stone, glass and architectural elements surrounding it,” Snyder said. “It’s going to be gorgeous.” Snyder said the fieldhouse would be available for public use and that it could generate revenue for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation, which could use it for programming. Snyder also said the township is working with an engineering firm to conduct a comprehensive drainage study of Mark Badger Memorial Park and that any project on the land will include improvements. “When this building is completed, the drainage situation will be better than it’s ever been,” Snyder said.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS
The township will upgrade walking trails, lighting, playgrounds, aquatic features,
The township plans to expand the pond in the Japanese Garden behind Carmel City Hall to Carmel Drive and improve the Monon Trail to the west. Snyder said the improvements will make the area “a world-class international park.” “This is going to be somewhere you can walk and enjoy the peaceful quietness of downtown Carmel next to City Hall and enjoy some of the ethnic influences Carmel has to share,” Snyder said.
111TH STREET CORRIDOR
Roundabouts are planned on 111th Street at Westfield Boulevard and College Avenue to provide easier and safer access to Central Park. The township also will add a roundabout at the entrance to Central Park.
CHILDREN’S PAVILION
A large children’s pavilion is planned at Coxhall Gardens, a park owned and maintained by Hamilton County. The pavilion will provide shade, shelter and picnic tables for families to enjoy.
FIBER OPTIC RING
The township will expand a fiber optic ring to improve communications between public entities such as the fire department, township and Carmel Clay Schools. It should provide for uninterrupted communication during large-scale events or emergencies.

ESSAY Coming of age
LETTER Disheartened by Wilson’s column
Commentary by Terry Anker Ours is increasingly a “youth” culture — not in that we have particular respect for the young, but more that we seem all too fixated on what it is to affect the impression of such in those of us who are decidedly not, at least in any real chronological way. Awaiting the semi-annual dental cleaning, one might peruse the accumulated and sundry magazines scattered in the waiting room. Even the casual observer flipping through the pages is struck by the age and appearance of the models shilling products and services. With the occasional expectation of pharmaceutical ads, the folks often sexualizing the goods are children. In fact, data aggregator Statista.com reports that 55 percent of working female fashion models begin younger than 16. Of particular concern is that highend design houses are often the most egregious with children being used to overtly titillate and tempt. One hopes that the world of shoppers is not secretly overwhelmingly comprised of pedophiles. So, why are children parading around in adult clothing like some perverted game of dress-up? Has our obsession to see ourselves as young driven this twist? Plastic surgeries, especially among men, are up exponentially these past decades. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, overall procedures are up 115 percent since the year 2000 alone. Even more, we affect hipster language, wear clothing that, suffice it to say, may not be designed with a middle-aged body in mind. Is it enough to say that we are the best we can be for our age group without fixating that we look the youngest? Can we like the age we are? Haven’t we earned it?

Another graduation jubilation Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived another high school graduation, folks, and this time I never even came close to tears. Am I a terrible mother? Did I throw out my soul with the HUMOR thousands of dirty diapers I’ve changed? Or was my impressive lack of melancholy because seeing two more kiddos prepare to leave the nest makes me outrageously giddy? Let’s explore. Despite winning co-Mom of the Year back in 2002 (yes, it’s true), I’ve definitely dropped the parenting ball on numerous occasions. I’ve allowed naked toddlers in public libraries, forgotten middle-schoolers after practice and skipped dance competitions and color guard championships more times than I can count. I also rarely cook anything that doesn’t begin life in a Kraft box and yell at my family when they are loud past 9 p.m.. (Mama needs her sleep!). But terrible mother? My twins graduated, didn’t they? And neither has been incarcerated!
And I’m not soulless. I’m stoic. If I’m going to become emotional, I much prefer the privacy of McDonald’s bathrooms and Chick-fil-A drive-thrus to a stadium full of strangers. So, I suppress all feelings until I can be alone (you’re welcome, by the way; I’m an awkward weeper). But that doesn’t mean I’m devoid of a soul (although being a redhead might!). This brings us to the last possibility, that I’m simply excited to have finished the marathon of raising twins. And what a race it has been! When I remember those early days of double feedings, diaper changes and carseats, I’m amazed at how far they’ve come. And how far I’ve come. Was I going to cry over their graduation? Absolutely not. Fist bumps were in order. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
Editor, I was recently informed by my daughter about an article in the May 14 edition of Current in Carmel. Having recently returned home from her first year at Butler, we were enjoying our time together after a challenging year at college. Imagine her discouragement after reading the article titled, “Bracing for a home invasion.” Obviously, the title captured her attention, but what followed was a sinking heart thinking any mother would not only feel this way about her son but then give voice to those feelings by encapsulating them in print for the entertainment of others. Then I thought, surely this is tongue-incheek rhetoric to inform other parents how not to treat their children. I, for one, could not be more proud of my children after an arduous school year. And I also applaud the efforts of my neighbors, friends and loved ones. I guess if one is not proud of their child’s behavior, then maybe they should evaluate whether or not their child is a product of their environment. In addition, I admire Current’s commitment to encourage healthy dialogue among its readers and the freedom to express our own individual viewpoints. Susan Chapman Porter, Carmel

The sender of a recent email to me identified herself as “Brand Manager, Hammacher Schlemmer.” This could have HUMOR meant only two things: Trouble or big trouble. In a recent column about the Hammacher Schlemmer Father’s Day gifts issue, I made fun of their Kangaroo Skin Wallet (they took the only animal that could carry a wallet and made one out of him) and their life-size reproduction of an iconic Central Park bench which I said (falsely) came with squirrels and pigeons. I clicked on the email, wondering if my insurance covered lawsuits for making fun of selfie toasters. To my great relief, here’s the gist of what the letter said: “This is Ann Marie from Hammacher Schlemmer. We are very proud of our brand and appreciate your humorous descriptions of our products. So Hammacher Schlemmer would like to send you something. Can we just call it a thank you?” Yes … YES, call it a thank you. Or feel free to call it a bribe. Whatever gets me the coolest gift. Ann Marie then called and asked me what gift I would choose. I told her I wanted to do a little research. I Googled, “Most expensive Hammacher Schlemmer Gifts” and here were three I found: Emotive Robotic Avatar: At only $65,000, you can get it to talk, and it expresses five emotions (which might be two or three more than your significant other) The submarine sports car: At $2 million, the vehicle has two built-in scuba tanks, allowing you to stay underwater for two hours — something you can’t do with a $6 snorkel and a pair of flippers. The fire-breathing dragon: This is a remote-controlled dragon that flies 70 mph and shoots flames out of its mouth. It’s only $75,000. At that price, I assume the batteries are sold separately. I think I’ll just request a $20 gift certificate. Note to Hammacher Schlemmer: If you do decide to send me the $2 million submarine sports car, I promise I’ll write a funny column about it.

Arce increasing role in investing, productions By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sam Arce developed his lifelong love of Broadway after seeing Ben Vereen perform in “Jesus Christ PRODUCTIONS Superstar.” “I got bit by the bug,” said Arce, a Carmel resident. “Over the years, I just saw more shows. I started doing theater in high school. I did community theater and then I did some Off-Broadway work. I love it, but it’s a hard life. I was singing and dancing.” Arce, 56, didn’t see a future in it. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, became an officer and then got into real estate in 1985 after leaving the service. “I did well, moved here and did better,” said Arce, a Realtor/broker for F.C. Tucker. “I’ve been in Indiana doing real estate full time since 1991. Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of shows. Last year, I saw 70 shows on Broadway.” Arce, who is called “Broadway Sam” by his friends, first invested in Broadway with $20,000 in “Gettin’ the Band Back Together” about a year ago. “Although it was a great, fun show and I was passionate about it, it didn’t last on Broadway,” Arce said. “It didn’t return, but it opened the gateway. That led me to the next investment, which was ‘American Son,’ a play with Kerry Washington, Steven Pasquale and Jeremy Jordan.” That led to Arce investing in ‘Be More Chill’ with music and lyrics by Joe Iconis. “This is Iconis’ Broadway debut,” Arce said. “He’s on the trajectory of what (‘Hamilton’ creator) Lin-Manuel Mirada was on. Lin was at our show. I got involved when ‘Be More Chill’ got to Broadway.” “Be More Chill” has been nominated for a Tony Award for best original score, composed by Iconis. Arce invested in Iconis’ next production of Annie Golden in “Broadway Bounty Hunter,” which starts a limited run July 23 Off-Broadway. “Annie Golden was in ‘Hair.’ It’s kind of a rock ‘n’ roll ode to the ‘70s,” Arce said. “Annie plays a struggling actress who becomes a bounty hunter.” Arce and producing partner Scott
Mraz to perform Nov. 17 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Following a tour of arenas and outdoor venues across North America, Europe and Asia, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has announced a Nov. 17 date at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Backing Mraz on the newly announced tour of theaters and music halls will be the Los Angeles-based folk rock quartet Raining Jane, longtime collaborators who often perform with Mraz and played on his 2014 acoustic album, “Yes!” The tour is billed as “Ladies & Gentleman, An Evening with Jason Mraz & Raining Jane.” The performance is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 17. Tickets are available now with series subscriptions to the 2019-20 Center Presents Season, sponsored by Allied Solutions. Subscriptions are available online at TheCenterPresents.org and through the box office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877-909-ARTS (2787).

Abrams are investing in the Las Vegas show of Criss Angel, the illusionist, at Planet Hollywood. Arce and Abrams are involved in “Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel in Concert,” which is running at Harrah’s in Las Vegas. “It’s telling the story of young Elvis Presley with an extremely talented young man (Eddie Clendening) who plays Elvis from the beginning to movie Elvis, not jumpsuit Elvis,” Arce said. “Everybody is excited about that. The theater is in oldschool Vegas.” Arce said the production has the backing of the Presley estate. “Jeff Calhoun is the director,” Arce said. “He did ‘Rock of Ages.’” Arce and Abrams are invested in the 10-year reunion of “Rock of Ages” OffBroadway, which starts June 24. Arce also has producing partners in Daniel Peterson and Mary Maggio. Arce said he is looking to co-produce “Tina,” which is based on the life of Tina Turner, with his three other producing partners.
Arce saw “Tina” this month on England’s West End. “Tina” will open on Broadway this year. “As an example, if you had been involved with ‘Hamilton’ making a $25,000 or $50,000 investment, you would have made your money back 20 times,” Arce said. “What we do is we have skin in the game, it’s our own money and others’. It’s not just about the money. If it was just about the money, I wouldn’t do it. Real estate, I make more money in. It’s about the love of theater. Investing in Broadway is not for the faint-hearted. You can’t invest in something you can’t afford to take a loss on. Like that first investment, I got a $20,000 investment that won’t return but will probably return 20 times because of the relationship and the access.” Arce and his wife, Maya, have a daughter, Dr. Michelle Arce, 28, and a son, Sammy 13, who just completed seventh grade at Clay Middle School. “He’s a big theater fan,” Arce said. “I’m taking him to see ‘Be More Chill’ in July.”

Symphony on Prairie adds LED screens, reserved seating

It will now be easier to view Kroger Symphony on the Prairie’s performances from anywhere in the venue. MUSIC “We have huge LED screens, so 8-meter screens, one on each side of the stage, and there is a 6-meter screen back near the playground towards the back of the lawn,” said Kristin Cutler, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra director of communications. “These will be magnifying the action on the stage during each concert. There will be additional content rolling on the screens prior to the concert. It will have more of a stadium-feel to it, so we think that will be an exciting enhancement to the concert experience.” For 11 of the remaining concerts, there will be reserved seating for the area in front of the stage. Cutler said there will be 200 reserved seats. There is exclusive bar service in the reserved seating area and for the tables. The first three shows of the season had reserved seating as well. “For some of the bigger-name acts like Smokey Robinson, Scott McCreery, Wynonna and 98 Degrees, you’ll have the ability to

Clair presents dark comedy By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It started as a 10-minute script-writing exercise in a playwriting class. Yet, when June McCarty Clair received THEATER so much positive feedback for a dark comedy about a funeral, she decided to expand it to a fulllength play. “When people heard what it was about, I invariably saw heads nod, and folks would say, ‘Let me tell you my story,’” Clair said. The Carmel resident said she found that a funeral often brings out the best and the worst in family members. Clair said greed and jealousy can rear their ugly heads. Clair’s “In the Presence of My Enemies” will run June 21 to 30 at The Cat in Carmel after a trial at DivaFest in April. “When I started this project, I thought it would be interesting to write about family dynamics in planning a funeral,” Clair said. “But the more I researched and wrote, I realized this could also be a cautionary tale, told in an amusing way, to warn people to have a plan in place and documents organized so there is as little family fighting as possible.” Bridget Schlebecker and Priscilla Ball will reprise their roles as Sarah and Rhoda, respectively. Nan Macy, Annalise Lowry,

Megan Jacobs, Alan Cloe and Kristin Miller round out the cast. Ball and Miller are from Carmel. Macy is from Columbus, Ind. The rest of the performers are from Indianapolis. Clair said DivaFest limited scripts to a one-hour run time. The show at The Cat will run 90 minutes, with new scenes. The production is by Carmel Theatre Company, which is run by Clair and her husband, John, who will direct the play.

Duo to teach mini-camps By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Julia Kalustian figured she had a great way to work this summer while spending time alongside her mother. ART “We approached Fishers Parks and Recreation because I wanted to share my love of art with the children while giving them a fun summer camp,” Kalustian said. Kalustian and her mother, Debbie Kalustian, a first-grade teacher at Brooks School Elementary, will run DJ Art Workshops’ mini-camps for three days for four weeks for ages 6-12 at Cumberland Park recreation building, 10580 Cumberland Rd., from 9 a.m. to noon. A 2017 Fishers High School graduate and Indiana Wesleyan University student, she has tutored kids in art at her university. “I wanted to keep the camp themes both fun and engaging for the summer,” said Kalustian, who is studying elementary education and art. “I want these camps to be a memorable experience for the kids, so I chose themes that I thought they would have fun exploring with art. I love to work with children by inspiring them to expand their creativity. I think I will be able to do so through these camps.”
Julia Kalustian displays her artwork promoting mini-art camps. (Submitted photo)
Debbie is looking forward to seeing her daughter instruct. “Julia is so creative and fun and I’m excited to see her in action sharing her love of art with kids,” Debbie said. “She always loved art as a student in HSE schools and this is her way of giving back. I know the kids will love the themes and project ideas they will get to make with her at camp.” The camps are Under the Sea Mini-Camp, June 18-20; Olympic Sports Mini-Camp, July 1-3; Camping Theme Mini-Camp, July 16-18; and Outer Space Mini-Camp, July 30-Aug 1.

Address: 228 Park St., Westfield What to get: Louisiana Purchase Roll Price: $14 Anna’s take: The Louisiana Purchase Roll isn’t typically listed on Chiba Indy’s Westfield menu, but it’s on the New Orleans menu. Owner Keith Dusko made it for me. The roll combines chicken tempura, brie cheese, Les’ pepper jelly, crunchy apples and yams, so if you’re new to the sushi world or nervous about raw fish, this might be a good roll for you. I also sampled the Eskimo Popper Roll ($14), which
7/14: Rockstar Energy Drink
consists of tempura-fried salmon, green onion, cream cheese and jalapenos. Chiba Indy is one of my favorite places to visit in Westfield, and not only because of the A-1 sushi. I love the patio atmosphere, which features soft lighting, ferns and an adorable back bar perfect for date nights. Suggested pairings: I’ve recently discovered that I’m a fan of all things sake, so if you’re going to Chiba Indy, I suggest asking for the sake menu. Order the Ozeki-Nigori bottle ($29). Seriously, order the whole bottle. It’s worth it. Chiba Indy’s menu describes Ozeki-Nigori sake as bold, sweet, rich and robust. It’s a refreshing choice.
Behind bars: Sangria Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: Sangria mix, lemons, limes, oranges, blueberries Directions: Fill a glass with ice and add sangria mix. Add fruit to glass.

Remodeling projects require patience for long-term enjoyment. (Submitted photo)
Hop on and enjoy the remodeling ride Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard In the midst of what looks like (from a construction scheduling point of view) non-stop rain delays, BEYOND THE expectations and emoB AC K D OOR tions can rise and fall like you’re riding The Beast at King’s Island. This emotional roller coaster ride is a part of every construction or remodeling project. Although every remodeling project should include detailed planning and preparation, each phase of the design and construction process carries its own series of curves and sometimes even inversions. To lessen the emotional impact of the process, it is essential that the lines of communication between contractor and homeowner are open
T O G E T H E R W I T H
and active. It is important to be prepared and know what to expect. It is equally important that the homeowner express their thoughts, expectations and concerns. Keeping things in perspective, the relatively short period of disruption compared to the years of enjoyment you will receive from your new space will quickly fade from memory. Our hope is that at the end of the ride you are left wanting to get back in line and ride again. The only difference is that this time you’ll want to sit in the front car and ride with your hands in the air.

Berlin’s dome of openness Commentary by Don Knebel Berlin’s Reichstag Building has become Germany’s second-most visited building, reflecting both its historical TRAVEL significance and its technological sophistication. In 1871, independent German states united to form the German Empire, with its capital in Berlin. A committee of the Reichstag, the Imperial Diet, selected a site just north of the Brandenburg Gate for a new parliament building and held a competition to determine the building’s architecture. The winning design, featuring a steel and glass cupula at the center, was based on Philadelphia’s Memorial Hall, built for the 1876 World’s Fair. The Reichstag of the Weimar Republic met in the same building. In 1933, a fire, thought by many to have been started by the new Nazi government, severely damaged the building. Hitler immediately blamed Communists and radicals for the fire and used it as the pretext for assuming dictatorial powers. During World War II, the Reichstag Building was further damaged by Allied bombing. After the war, with the capital of West Germany in Bonn, the building
remained vacant. After German reunification, the federal government moved its capital to Berlin and restored the Reichstag Building for use by the Bundestag, the German parliament. The restoration included adding a huge glass dome at the center of the building, replacing the original cupula that had been destroyed. The Bundestag meets under the clear dome, symbolizing the openness of Germany’s democratic government. An inverted cone in the middle of the dome, covered in mirrors, directs daylight toward the legislative chamber and reflects the inside lights toward the dome at night. A giant shield inside the dome electronically follows the sun and blocks direct sunlight. Two interior helical ramps allow citizens to climb to the dome’s apex, fostering the idea that the German people are above their government and also offering a spectacular 360-degree view of modern Berlin.

Should’ve known better Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Americans like being the best at things. We’re the best at baseball, jazz, freedom, national parks—pretty much anything Ken Burns has already covered. GRAMMAR GUY Yes, living in the Land of Opportunity is glorious. Today, I’d like to award us (and, by us, I mean U.S.) a super-sized gold medal for smashing words together more efficiently than anyone else in the world. Because Americans value efficiency, we combine multiple words into one super word. One way we do this is through contractions. Don’t worry—I’m not talking about the kind of contractions that lead to babies. I’m talking about combining two words to make one short word. These words include don’t (do not), we’ve (we have) and can’t (can not). Yes, contractions increase our efficiency so we have more time to manage our burgeoning stock portfolios while refilling our Big Gulps (for free). But some contractions can be tricky. Have you ever been tripped up by should’ve? Should’ve is a contraction for “should have.” For instance, “I should’ve worn sunscreen when we were at the zoo.” This is a truism for me even on cloudy days. As a redhead, I cause secondhand sunburns to people around me because the sun reflects off my skin onto others’ skin. I can even get a sunburn from a full moon. I should’ve worn sunscreen. You
get the point. What about “should of”? As Americans, sometimes we talk so quickly we say things like “shoulda,” which is an even shorter way of saying “should’ve.” Many people mistakenly think this phrase is “should of.” “Should of” is incorrect and should never be spoken, typed or otherwise communicated. The same rule applies for “must’ve” (not must of), “could’ve” (not could of), and “would’ve” (not would of). If someone you care about uses “should of,” wait until you have some one-on-one time with them, calmly sit them down, and then gently correct them. Please don’t correct them in public; that’s the quickest way to lose friends and end up with a house full of cats (I believe the politically correct term is “fur babies”). In general, contractions like “should’ve” are still regarded as informal speech, so, if you’re writing your doctoral dissertation or cover letter to be hired as a lawyer, avoid these shortcut words. However, in everyday conversations, feel free to contract away. After all, the First Amendment grants us free speech — and — since it’s the first one, that probably means that it’s the best.
