Veatch’s rare double leads to title By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior Ben Veatch had a shot at the state record time in the 3,200 meters. track “He said, ‘Coach, I need to double for us to win the state title,’ and he made the decision he wanted to do it for the team,â€? said Ken Browner, Greyhounds track and field coach. “He didn’t care about the individual accolades.â€? So Veatch didn’t set the record mark, but he won both the 1,600 (4:08.38) and 3,200 (8:58.18) in the state meet to lead Carmel to its second consecutive title June 4 in Bloomington. “My team is the ultimate motivating factor for me,â€? Veatch said. “When I’m running for them, I’m going to be hard to beat.â€? Carmel was trailing Michigan City and Ben Davis 41-33 when the 3,200 meters, the second-to-last event, came up. Veatch, the defending state 3,200 champion, was the only competitor from those three schools in the final two events. “Ben said, ‘Don’t worry about it coach, I’ll take care of it.’ He did,â€? Browner said. The 10 points gave Carmel a 43-41 team victory, its third boys state title and 130th overall IHSAA crown in all sports. Junior Ryan Lipe won

Candy banned at parade By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com CarmelFest 2016 officials’ decision to not distribute candy during the annual parade has been met with negacarmelfest tive feedback on social media and even a petition campaign. However, CarmelFest chairman Gary Sexton said he is convinced it is the right decision for children’s safety. The decision to change the tradition was not made lightly, and officials examined other parades, Sexton said. The idea has been discussed for several years. This year the 16-person parade committee decided it could no longer table the decision, and those in attendance voted unanimously to no longer hand out candy at the July 4 event. A few years ago, officials banned the practice of throwing candy from parade vehicles. “We knew we couldn’t throw out candy for fear of people being hit in the head,” CarmelFest public relations director Cindy RobertsGreiner said. In recent years, floats and other parade participants have had rollerblade riders or walkers pass out candy, but often the candy would drop in the street and children would
run for it. “There have been multiple incidents of small 3-year-old children running into the street to pick up a single piece of candy directly in front of a moving float or parade vehicle,” CarmelFest Parade Marshal Kurt Rupenthal said. “Fortunately, they have all been rescued.” Sexton said there are quick-moving vehicles, such as motorcycles, in the parade. “We want to make sure we are doing the absolute right thing for public safety,” Sexton said. “Float drivers have a challenging time enough watching the parade ahead of them. With public safety and insurance requirements with a festival of our size, we just have to make the change.” Fishers Freedom Festival parade, set for June 26, has a policy of no tossing or handing out candy from parade vehicles or parade participants for the same safety concerns. The festival does have numerous volunteers handing out candy. “We’ve considered several different options,” Sexton said. “The need for several hundred volunteers to run the festival already is quite a task to coordinate. It would be a challenge to add more tasks at this point and date.”

Firefighters memorial statue arrives in Hamilton County
By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com
It’s been nearly nine years since the idea for a fallen firefighters memorial for Hamilton County took hold, and last memorial month, the completed statue made its cross-country trip home. Last month, family members of the three Hamilton County men who died in the line of duty got their chance to see the finished statue just outside of the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center on the downtown Noblesville square. The three fallen firefighters from Hamilton County are Noblesville Firefighter Byron J. Galbreath, Carmel Assistant Fire Chief Cyrus Clark and Fishers Assistant Fire Chief Raymond E. Moulder. Pam Sims, 80, Noblesville, was the wife of Cyrus Clark when he died in Dec. 1960. “I was 25, and he was 27,” she said. The two had been married nearly seven years and had four children, the oldest of which was 6. “I think it’s really nice that they’re memorializing those that have given up their life, because all firefighters, when they go out, you never know if they’re going to come home,” Sims said. “My husband was gung-ho for the fire department.” Gwen Galbreath, who will be 92 in September, was the wife of Byron Galbreath, who died in 1951 at age 31, leaving behind his 26-year-old wife and three daughters, who were all 5 years old or younger, Joyce Kinnman, Janet Jaros (former Noblesville clerktreasurer) and Jo Rhodes. “He had gotten home from the war and got with the National Guard. He heard how bad the fire was and went down to help,” said Rhodes, who was 2 years old at the time. “He had been a firefighter before the war.” To get the statue home to its Hamilton County headquarters was emotional. When the U-Haul truck – driven by Hamilton County Councilor Steve Schwartz and his wife, Lori, who own Schwartz’s Bait and Tackle in downtown Noblesville – family members of the three men climbed into the truck one-by-one to see the piece up close. Weighing in at approximately 2,000 pounds, Lori Schwartz said the weeklong trip wasn’t always easy – as loading the statue into the truck took nearly two hours – but was definitely worth it. Now that the statue is home, the memorial site will need to be developed before it will be

on display to the public as a point along the City of Noblesville’s in-development Riverwalk. The memorial site will sit behind the government and judicial center on the east side of White River. The statue will remain in storage until the plaza is complete. Also part of the memorial will be thee bronze helmet memorials for each fallen firefighter and, on a separate base, a piece of one of the World Trade Center towers from 9/11. Local artist Rodney Reveal helped design the piece with artist Nicholas Wilson, who made the statue in Prescott, Ariz., at his foundry. The piece took two years to complete.

Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Byron J. Galbreath was electrocuted and died in 1951 from his injuries while working at a fire in a junk yard at Sixth and Preston Streets in Noblesville. Cyrus Clark died in 1960 from injuries suffered while responding with another firefighter aboard an apparatus. A civilian driver pulled his vehicle into the path of the apparatus, and when Clark swerved to avoid contact, he struck a tree. Both men were ejected, and the apparatus landed on top of them. Raymond E. Moulder died in 1967 from injuries suffered from a building collapse. He was working at the scene of a multi-alarm fire that consumed several buildings in the downtown business district of Noblesville, near Sixth and Conner Streets.

Entries must follow only two rules: it must represent a book, and it must be edible. In previous contests, many participants have brought cake, but this year organizer and reference librarian Brooke Baker said she hopes to have some people use new ingredients. “It could be made out of potatoes,” she said. “We just ask that it won’t spoil.” Some memorable entries from last year include a Maze Runner representation made of Rice Krispie treats and Hershey’s chocolate bars, along with a representation of the children’s book “Everybody Poops,” which was made to look like a litter box and contained tootsie rolls. “Most creative cakes tend to win. It doesn’t have to be the most perfectly decorated,” Baker said. This year, there are two new prize categories: “Most Creative Ingredient” and “Punniest.” “Kids get very excited to see the cakes,”

Public viewing and judging will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. and will be followed by the announcement of winners and the consumption of the entries.

Meet your leaders: Richard F. Taylor III As Hamilton County Leadership Academy celebrates its 25th anniversary, Current is highlighting local leaders who have helped to build and sustain the program, which focuses on strengthening our community by developing informed leaders. Rich Taylor, HCLA Class of 2009. Hometown: Yorktown. Lives and works: Carmel. Family: Wife Lauren and 14-month-old son Richard “Ryker” F. Taylor IV. Career: A graduate of Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management, Taylor is a vice president at The National Bank of Indianapolis’ Carmel Banking Center. He is working on an MBA at Butler University. Community involvement: Now president of the Chaucie’s Place board and vice president of the Carmel Clay Board of Parks & Recreation, he also has been secretary of the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation board, president of the Carmel Rotary Club and president of the Carmel City Center Community Development Corp. Nice to know: Taylor and his wife, who is president of Holder Mattress, are both avid Purdue and Colts fans. They have two dogs, Ripley and Peyton.
Favorite HCLA curriculum activity: “My favorite trip was to the Hamilton County Jail. I was amazed at how efficiently the SherTaylor III iff’s Department handled a daily population of 300 to 350 inmates. I was also impressed by the on-site treatment programs (it) offers juvenile offenders.” What impact has the program made on the community? “HCLA continues to train and produce new community volunteers and leaders. If you look at the rosters of many local nonprofit boards of directors, you will typically see at least one HCLA graduate on that roster.” What one change would you love to see that would improve our community for everyone? “I would like to see changes to the state of Indiana’s school funding formula. Many Hamilton County schools receive very low per-student funding as compared to other school districts based on the current formula.” Best-kept Hamilton County secret: “Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation has nationally renowned adaptive and inclusive programs for adults and children with disabilities.”

Brown County inspires family’s new sculpture By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Nathan Brandt has grown up in the midst of metal work, but he just recently completed his largest project yet – an abstract art sculpture for the Volkmar family in Carmel. “We had been friends with his in-laws for almost 20 years,” said Wendy Volkmar on why she and her husband, Karl, chose Brandt. The Volkmars knew Brandt’s wife, Melyn, since she was a child. “I’m an artist, too, so we have a lot in common, and we get along really well even though he is our kids’ age. We started talking about him building a sculpture last fall.” Brandt had done work for the Volkmars previously in the form of a 1,000-pound, steelframe, indoor fire table that Wendy said the family eats dinner at most nights. The Volkmars didn’t know what type of sculpture they wanted Brandt to create until they ventured to Brown County. “We were doing landscaping in the front of our yard, and we started seeing these big, steel sculptures with a kind of rusted and organic look. We thought it would look great with what we had put in. That’s where it all
started,” Karl said. Wendy said the sculpture is a rusted, abstract piece representing two dancing figures. “We didn’t know what we wanted, but we wanted it to be organic and figurative, so we sat down with him and just drew ideas together,” she said. “It’s all steel and copper. It kind of looks like a dancing couple in a dip. Nate is really an amazing guy.” Brandt lives in Cicero and has renovated an 1880s barn for his workshop. The 24-year-old said he has done metal work since he was 13. “This is the biggest thing I’ve ever made,” he said of the Volkmar’s sculpture. “It’s (approximately) 10 feet tall and weighs 2,000 pounds. Every inch is hand-forged. There are about 140 pounds of copper I melted and poured into it.” Brandt is a co-owner of Coal Ironworks, and he and his partner, Andy Davis, do commission work on furniture for homeowners and some work with restaurants. “We like to leave (our work) pretty rough, so you can tell it wasn’t made by anything other than hands,” he added.

Lazzara family announces plans for Monon and Main, its $20 million project By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com It’s not every day that a $20-million project is announced for one of the few blocks in Carmel’s prestigious Arts & Design District that hasn’t been redeveloped. But for members of the Lazzara family, cover story all Carmel residents, that day has finally arrived. Chuck Lazzara and his son, Anthony Lazzara, exclusively unveiled plans to Current in Carmel for Monon and Main, a mixed-use development that will be centered on an upscale steakhouse and also will include office and retail space, townhomes for sale and a quaint park. Construction is set to begin in October Chuck Lazzara and wrap up approximately a year later. “We believe this new mixed-use project is exactly what is needed to vitalize and add energy to the Arts & Design District,” said Chuck Lazzara, who also owns Ritz Charles with his wife, Lynn. “Our project leads as the entrance to Midtown projects and is going to make the Monon area at Main the epicenter of downtown.” Anthony Lazzara Corrie Meyer, executive director of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, said that in addition to creating jobs and adding interest along the Monon Trail, the project will help promote walkability between two key districts. “We look at the Lazzara property as really being a transitional piece in blending the Midtown uses along with the Arts & Design District,” Meyer said. “We think about filling gaps and making those connections strong from a physical space, and that’s exactly what this development will do.” For the past 12 years, the Lazzaras – first Tom, a Realtor with Remax, then his brother, Chuck – slowly have been purchasing parcels just south of Main Street and west of the Monon Trail. Not one of the homeowners was asked to sell to make way for this project – but once a home was put on the

market, the Lazzaras were ready to make an offer. Their patience paid off as the last piece of the puzzle fell into place last year when the family purchased the final plot. They began working with RATIO Architects and Garmong Construction Services to develop an idea that had originated on a much smaller scale many years ago. The original plan simply was to create a restaurant and green space. But as time went by and land prices went up, they realized that they needed to think bigger to make the project worthwhile. The development now includes 17,600 square feet of office space and 8,000 square feet of retail on Main Street; seven high-end, 3,000-square-foot townhomes with rooftop gardens and two-car garages; and a large entertainment plaza to allow the family to continue hosting outdoor events on site, such as Jazz on the Monon. But the centerpiece will be Anthony’s Chophouse, a 12,000-square-foot steak and seafood restaurant, a concept Anthony Lazzara, 26, has been developing since his days at Carmel High School. He continued refining the idea as a student at Ball State University, where he graduated from the rigorous entrepreneurial management program. Anthony Lazzara traveled the U.S. to study other high-end
restaurants and visited Italy to learn about wines. His research led him to develop Anthony’s Chophouse with several types of diners in mind. Fine dining will be available in the afternoon and evening on the first floor, while 3 Up, a rooftop bar, will be more casual and serve customers “gourmet bar food” from lunchtime through the early hours of the morning from its own kitchen. “We want to specialize in celebration events, but we don’t want that to be the only driver (as is the case with) many fine dining restaurants,” Anthony Lazzara said. “We want to still attract the walkers, the people out there. Especially at night, we don’t want you to feel like you have to be dressed to the nines.” Anthony’s Chophouse even will contain a piece of local history: the original mahogany bar from Glass Chimney, a wellrespected Carmel restaurant that closed its doors in 2008. The Lazzaras hired a carpenter to remove the iconic piece of furniture many years ago, and it will come to life again on the second level of the future steakhouse. “We’re going to put it all back together, so that the mezzanine will maybe be the Chimney Room,” Chuck Lazzara said. “People that have known Glass Chimney can go up there, and it will be that same look.” With the plans for Monon and Main nearing completion, the Lazzara family ultimately hopes that its deep roots in Carmel will lead to a project that will make an impact for years to come. “This is not going to be a franchise deal or someone coming in from out of state,” Chuck Lazzara said. “This is (being developed by) local people that have been here their whole lives.”
family ties Several members of the Lazzara family are involved with developing Monon and Main. They all live in Carmel, and many of them have other ties to the downtown area. They include: • Chuck and Lynn Lazzara, owners of Ritz Charles • Joe Lazzara, Chuck’s brother and owner of Joe’s Butcher Shop on Main Street • Matt Frey, Chuck’s brother-in-law and owner of Bub’s Burgers • Tom Lazzara, brother of Chuck and Realtor at Remax

Pity the fool
FR O M T HE b a c k s h o p Referendum on transit is coming There has been little coverage of this, but the long arm of government is coming after a small (for now) slice of your income for mass transit ($0.25 per $100 of income) in Hamilton County. Boone County can’t be far behind. A referendum will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Vote “no.” Here’s why: • Look at IndyGo as an example, and tell us when it turned a profit. You can’t, because it hasn’t. Same for Amtrak, a business disaster. • There is much talk about building for the future, and that’s fine. We vastly prefer a privatized system with real profit-and-loss oversight. • This isn’t discussed: Mass transit has several disadvantages, including possible threats to personal safety on the ride and in the community, irregularities in scheduling, and the fact that, in some areas, mass transit could have limited coverage and could be available during limited hours. • Too, various types of public transit are subject to malfunctioning equipment as well as service disruptions caused by emergencies and even labor strikes. • Traffic. It is stated that mass transit would take alternate routes. Do those include the routes motorists take to avoid the jams? • Government usually is way off base when it comes to ridership, economic impact and other such projections. • The rate won’t remain at $0.25 per $100 of income. They’ll just raise it “as necessary.” It disgusts us whenever government comes after even more of our money. Typically, it has shown itself to be a poor steward of our dollars.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Running to run down Commentary by Terry Anker We run to the post office. We run to the store. We run to the school to pick up one offspring or another. We run, run, run. Hoosier colloquialisms of “running” hither and yon aside, many of us run in honest-togoodness foot races. We run marathons (all 26 miles, 385 yards). We run half-marathons. We run 10Ks. We run 5Ks. We run on the street and have even gone so far as to create treadmills so that we can run endless miles! The point is, one could surmise, that we run A LOT. But where does all of this running take us? Do we have an objective? Are we running toward something new and positive? Are we running away from something frightening and shunned? Or, are we simply continuing to run because we don’t really know how to stop? The treadmill where I have been known to log a mile or two includes a small digital screen that generates imagined hills that
the user is encouraged to surmount. They are designed to push a reluctant athlete to burn a calorie or two more. If burning calories is the goal, it works. But if we aren’t really going anywhere anyway, what’s the point of breaking a sweat? The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not of fighting the old, but on building the new.” He has a point. We cannot run enough miles to escape our past. It exists and is permanent. However, we have enormous control over our forthcoming present – said another way, the direction and speed in which we shall run in the future. So, is all of our running getting us anywhere? Or, at the end of the day, will we be in the same place only feeling a bit more run down? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK A life making mistakes is not only honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
– George Bernard Shaw
When I was a kid, I pitied the fool who wore glasses. (I also saw Rocky III in the theater multiple humor times and had a semicrush on Mr. T.) I prayed to every Catholic saint I could think of to spare me the horror of poor eyesight and the stigma that came with having “four eyes.” Later, during my short stint in the Air Force, I again pitied the kid with sub-par vision who had to exchange his contacts for hideous safety-goggles. I thanked baby Jesus that I didn’t have to deal with the added pressure of wearing “birthcontrol glasses” while trying to climb a 20-foot rope ladder under extreme duress. Then, I married a boy with terrible vision, and soon came to see that a guy in glasses is hot, plain and simple. Maybe it was my new-found maturity, but I think it was the world simply becoming more accepting of people in glasses. So yesterday, when my almost15-year-old son was given the news that he is a tad bit near-sighted and needs corrective lenses for school and driving, it wasn’t the social death sentence it would have been in 1982 or even 1991. Hooray for progress! And Andrew was thrilled. Sure, he was happy he wouldn’t have to always sit in the front row or continuously squint, but he was just as excited to have an excuse to wear glasses. Imagine that! The ostracizing plastic-and-glass contraptions of my youth have become the essential cool-kid accessory. As the technician helped him try on different frames, he grew more and more confident with his new look. Of course, the gal knew how to help along a sale: “Those really accentuate your jaw line.” “These bring out your hazel eyes.” “Did you recently win a Nobel prize?” Well played, Ossip. Well played. But I have to agree, Andrew is a stud in glasses! No pity necessary. There’s no real point to this column except to comment on how times change. And to note that I googled Mr. T, and he still looks pretty good, even without glasses. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Technology: Light of my life Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Baby Boomers don’t trust technology. When Microsoft Word asks if I “want to save the changhumor es?” before I close a document, I often want to do exactly that, but can I be sure that the people at Microsoft Word can be taken at their word and my changes will be saved? I want a BIG, SOLID commitment, not a puny, micro-soft one. I also don’t trust the dome light in my car. I get out of the car and stare at it until it finally dims. I feel a little ashamed, because I am sure that millions of dollars of research went into this technology. Why couldn’t they have spent all that cash on a way to stop stuff from falling between the seats? Does the dome light stay on for a while even during the day, which means I could walk away not knowing if it’s gone off? If there’s one chance in a million that light will stay on all afternoon, I’m not leaving the car. I should be taking advantage of this technology instead of squandering my
life waiting for it to go out. Let’s see: once a night (30 seconds) for 20 years, I’ve stared at my car’s interior. That’s 219,000 seconds, or 60 hours of my life wasted. That’s 40 naps I’ve missed out on. Related to this, I’d like to know how to politely inform folks they have exited their car without turning off their headlights. People used to say, “Oh, thanks. I sure didn’t want a dead battery.” Then they started saying, “Thanks, but they go off automatically.” Lately I get a lot of: “Relax, Grandpa. When’s the last time you bought a car?” Well, it’s nearly sunset, and I’m off to bed early, so I asked my iPhone to wake me at 5 a.m., and then I set my clock-radio for 5:05 a.m. as a back-up. But I’ll never fall asleep, anyway … wondering if that porch light is gonna go on. Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

Good deeds make people proud to live in Carmel Editor, I read the article (May 28) about the Boy Scout doing the duck boxes for his Eagle Scout project. I am also a Boy Scout, so this article caught my attention. I thought that it was a good idea because he did it to help the environment. I also liked how he
went to another Eagle Scout for guidance because he would be more than willing to help. Thank you for the article, and I hope you print more articles like this in the future because it makes people proud to live in Carmel knowing that we care for our environment. James Marr, Carmel

If the surge in barbecue and smoking competitions across the nation is any indication, grilling has become an art form. recipe This Father’s Day, grab dad and gather around the grill to try a technique that’s rising in popularity – smoking – and create memories together. From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of a premium cut of meat. Smoke like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks executive chef Karl Marsh. Start with style – Start by deciding how you’d like to prepare your meat. Smoking infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures make it extra tender. Smoking also lets you create unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, seasoned wood chips and planks. Choose your cut – The most popular cuts of meat to smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically large in size. Guarantee a great experience with new Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking, which was created with the competitive barbecue and smoking circuit in mind. Ready your rub – For the best results, brush meat with cooking oil or another liquid ingredient (such as yellow mustard) before adding the rub. Coat both sides with rub.
Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer Makes: 4 cups Ingredients: 2 cups apple juice, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1 cup canola oil, 2 tablespoons red hot pepper sauce, 1/2 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub Directions: Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Set up the smoker – Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant is the importance of maintaining a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious of where you’ll place wood chips or other flavor enhancers. Find more, visit omahasteaks.com.
Ancho Chile Rubbed Smoked Beef Brisket Total time: 13-16 hours Ingredients: 1 whole Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking, 2 cups white vinegar, 2/3 cup yellow mustard, 3/4 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub, 4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below), 8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Directions: Remove brisket from bag and rinse with white vinegar then water. Dry completely using paper towels. Slather brisket with yellow mustard. Rub generously with ancho chile rub and inject with one cup Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer. Prepare smoker using one chimney of pure lump charcoal fully lit and one chimney of pure lump charcoal unlit. Make sure water pan is full and adjust vents until smoker maintains a temperature between 225 and 250 F. Place brisket on smoker, fat side up, and brush smoking spritzer over top. Every hour check smoker temp, squirt with smoking spritzer and add handful of wood chips. After three hours, flip brisket, fat side down, and squirt with spritzer. After six hours, flip brisket, fat side up. Wrap heavy-duty foil around the last 3-4 inches of brisket tip to prevent it from drying out. Restock water pan, and add lump charcoal as needed. Adjust vents until temperature is between 225 and 250 F. Beginning at eight hours, check internal temperature every hour, and apply spritzer and wood chips. Between 11-13 hours, when internal temperature is between 195 and 200 F, if fork slides easily into brisket, it is done. Let brisket rest for one to two hours before slicing and serving.

Mini-golf makes a comeback at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Commentary by Jenni Ingersoll The Indianapolis Museum of Art has created an Indiana-inspired mini-golf course. Mini Golf at The IMA celebrates family fun the 200th birthday of our state with holes themed around Hoosier history, heritage and landmarks. Designed by local and regional artists, the interactive art experience remains open through Oct. 30. Situated outside on the IMA Sculpture Court, instead of windmills and water-traps, the obstacles on these 18-hole greens include electric guitars, covered bridges and chimes tuned to play (“Back Home Again in Indiana”). A whimsical likeness to President Benjamin Harrison, a farm field dotted with miniature wind turbines and a layout of iconic landmarks including Monument Circle and the Speedway oval make obvious connections to Indiana, while the “Great Squirrel Invasion of 1822” is an unfamiliar state fact. A nod to Hoosier native and “New York Times” crossword puzzle editor allows golfers to play the crossword maze and solve the puzzle as well. The course is available during regular museum hours, including extended hours on Thursday nights. Mini-golf tickets are included with

admission to the IMA or $8 per ticket on free admission dates. With no reserved tee times, tickets are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. A clubhouse featuring refreshments by Sun King Brewing and King David Dogs is open Thursday through Sunday for golfers to enjoy before or after hitting the course. For a special Friday night out, play a round of golf while
waiting to catch a movie during the Summer Nights Film Series. The course is challenging and extra time should be taken to read the informational plaques and experience the creativity of each hole. The unexpected mix of art and mini-golf combine for a fun outing. For more, visit imamuseum.org.
Born and raised a Hoosier, Jenni Ingersoll is a contributing writer for an online travel magazine, The Travelers Way (thetravelersway. com) and enjoys traveling with her family, exploring destinations close to home and a little farther away.

CHS students paint new mural By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Arts Council began its high school division two years ago, and art last year active students participated in painting a mural at SoHo Café, 620 S. Range Line Rd. The mural consisted of highlights found throughout Carmel. This year, the CACHD wanted to paint another mural, so Vivian Lawhead, president of the CAC, began the process. “After they completed (the mural) last year, they were delighted and had such a good time they wanted to do it again,” Lawhead said. “SoHo was right on the Monon, so we wanted to find another place seen by a lot of people and we went through the steps of the city and got it (approved.)” This year, the mural can be seen by those eating on the Muldoon’s patio, as it is painted on the west wall of Carmel Tattoo INK, 43 W. Main St. With the geometric, abstract theme, Lawhead said the process didn’t take as long as last year’s landscape. “Their coloration on this one is really exciting,” Lawhead said.

‘Back to the ’80s’ to open June 17 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Community Players’ “Back to the 80s” presents a challenge to the cast that director Tanya Haas doesn’t theater share. The Rising Star production features actors ages 20 and under. “The main challenge to the cast is that these songs are all about 30 years (old), and while they are extremely familiar to me, as I graduated high school in 1989, many of the songs are brand new to these kids,” Haas said. “I have to remember that even though I can still sing most of them by heart from when I was a teenager, it takes some time for them to get them down. There are also a lot of pop references from the 1980s that I have to explain to them because they do not understand them, while their parents will likely get most of the jokes right away.” CCP’s production of “Back to the 80s” runs from June 17 to June 26 at Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 140. Carmel resident Haas’ daughter, Kelly, a recent Cathedral High School graduate, is among the cast members. So is her son, Jack, who

just finished his freshman year at Cathedral. Kelly is going to attend Northern Kentucky University in 2016-17 on a scholarship to study theater. “While I have acted with my daughter before, this my first time directing her,” Haas said. The musical also includes leads such as Carmel High School students Cameron Clark, Lily Wallack, Brooke Porter and Clay Middle School student Cara Nowlin. “The show is light-hearted and upbeat, and the cast seems to be bonding even though this is the first time many of them have met,” Haas said.

Hannah Myers Lindgren wants the public to know about the complexities of the growing Indianapolis food movement. feature “There are a lot of different things that make up the food movement. The reason why Indianapolis is starting to have a flourishing food movement is because all of the different facets of food movement are starting to work together,” Lindgren said. Lindgren and her Noblesville-based Deliberate Media produced a feature-length documentary, “Food First.” The Hamilton County screening, part of the Nickel Plate Arts Festival, is set for June 16 at 10 West, 10 W. Jackson St., Cicero. The evening begins with appetizers from 10 West, followed by the film at 6:45 p.m. The 70-minute film will be followed by a panel discussion. The cost is $5 for Nickel Plate Arts members and $10 for non-members. “Why we made this film is to show how it’s all interconnected,” said Lindgren, a former Noblesville resident who now lives in Indianapolis. “We touch on everything from food deserts and a lack of access to healthy local food, to restaurants to sourcing local food

for yourself or for a restaurant to agricultural and the family farmer to the local growing movement all the way to distributions through farmers markets or online or grocery stores.” Lindgren, a 25-year-old Lawrence North High School graduate, has a strong reason to be interested in healthy foods. She learned she was gluten and dairy intolerant in May 2010. “While my health issues led me on the path to making this film, what attracted me to making it about this particular topic is the amazing and intricate food scene in Indianapolis,” Lindgren said.

Beach Whiskey coming soon By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After spending time with some of his friends in Santa Monica, Calif., J. Smoke Wallin and his group noticed one business thing. Vodka, rum and tequila flew off the shelves while the whiskey sat dusty, hot and not selling. “The thought occurred to us, and my (business) partner, Andrew McGinnis, said, ‘Why not whiskey? Why isn’t whiskey selling out here at the beach and during the day?’” said Carmel resident Wallin, co-founder and CEO of Beach Whiskey. “The idea of day-drinkable whiskey was born. We decided to create a smooth, light, crisp, day-drinkable whiskey.” Thus began discussing the idea in the fall of 2014, and the company was formed in March 2015. “To bring a product like this to market, it takes about a year, year-and-a-half between getting the flavors and the liquid right and putting the bottles together. We wanted to put the whiskey in sea glass-looking bottles, and that was one of the hardest things to do,” Wallin said. Beach Whiskey launched in Hawaii at the end of last month and will be available in California, Tennessee and Florida this month. Wallin said he expects the product to be available in Indiana next month. Currently, the whiskey has two flavors – Island Coconut, 52 proof, and Bonfire Cinnamon, 70 proof. More than 350 20-something adults sampled six flavors of Beach Whiskey before the company decided on Island Coconut and Bonfire Cinnamon. Wallin said the main success behind Beach

Smoke Wallin, beverage industry veteran • Ken Austin, co-founding investor and advisor • Andrew McGinnis, co-founder • Kenny Dichter, co-founding investor • Andrew Kline, co-founding investor
Whiskey was the marketing. “One of our co-founders, Billy Bush, just joined the Today Show. We thought that he had a great platform and could help us get the word out,” Wallin said. The group then decided to target a young musical star that had a following of 20-somethings and fit the beach lifestyle. “We decided (country musician) Jake Owen was the best possible thing,” Wallin added. “We went down to see Jake and drank whiskey with him and his dad, and he loved it.” The whiskey is made in an old Seagram’s plant in Lawrenceburg, Ind., and bottled in Louisville, Ky. For more, visit beachwhiskey.com. Smoke Wallin’s advice for success: “I think in all my years, I’ve had plenty of challenges along the way … It’s all about how you respond to the challenges and being able to overcome obstacles is, I think, the number one quality for someone to be successful,” Wallin said. “There’s nobody that you can meet that doesn’t run into problems along the way, and it’s all about how you respond to it.”

Long-time TV journalist Jane Pauley’s reputation was as an exspecial guest tremely private person. “Because (her life) wasn’t that interesting,” Pauley said, drawing laughs from the audience during an appearance June 7 at The Barrington of Carmel, a retirement community. The former “Today” and “Dateline” co-host and Indianapolis native, Pauley said she and her husband Garry Trudeau, cartoonist and Doonesbury comic strip creator, had interesting jobs but led ordinary lives. “Garry and I raised three kids with five minivans,” said Pauley, who graduated from Warren Central High School and Indiana University, holding her first TV job at the Indianapolis CBS affiliate (then WISH-TV). Then Pauley, now 65, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2001. “It’s been 15 years since my first, and so far only, episode with bipolar disorder,” said Pauley, who added she takes medication daily. She took a six-month break from “Dateline” but only family and close friends knew why. “I knew then there wasn’t a lot of spokespeople for mental health,” Pauley said. “At 50, I had been in television almost 30 years. I had a good reputation for being normal and downto-earth and level-headed.” Pauley said those descriptions became ironic to her given her diagnosis. “When I got better, I resolved I would talk about it,” Pauley said. “I could use some of the personal goodwill that I built up over the years on behalf of people who were not as comfortable as I was in talking about a personal illness.” After her break, she returned to work on Sept. 10, 2001.

“The next day was 9/11, and I won an Emmy that week for our coverage,” Pauley said. “To be a journalist that week was one of the few professions that made sense. My husband is a cartoonist, that didn’t make much sense to him. With 9/11, my interest in my memoir waned. It was: ‘Really, Jane, who cares about your life?’” She shelved the book until one day her husband said he read the sample chapters she sent him two years ago while on a plane. “He said, ‘I think if you still think you have a story to tell, I think you are equipped to tell it,’” Pauley said. “I interpreted that to mean — you’re not a bad writer. I don’t think you’ll embarrass yourself.” Thus came “Skywriting: A Life Out of the Blue,” making bipolar disorder public, in 2004. Pauley is now a guest host on “CBS This Morning.” Her most recent book is “Your Life Calling: Reimagining the Rest of Your Life.” She signed her book after her interview with a moderator.

Updating your home, increasing home value Commentary by David Decker
Updating a kitchen and bathroom will lead to your home reflecting what buyers are looking for in today’s market. (Submitted photo)
It’s that time of year again: real estate season. You may have noticed more houses going interiors up for sale in your community. If you’re considering hiring a realtor and selling your home, are you ready? Is your home reflecting what buyers are looking for? If your budget is modest and you want a quick update, consider tackling a small or half bath first. There are attractive tile flooring options that won’t break the bank, such as vinyl tile or vinyl planks. Stylish, modern faucets can be replaced in an afternoon and still provide an updated look. Is your bathroom still sporting can lights or spotlights from the ’80s? It might be time to let those go. If you’re not familiar with electrical projects, it’s worth it to hire a professional to get it done right the first time. New lighting is not only fashionable but can brighten up your space immensely. If your bathrooms are in good shape and you have a bigger budget, you might focus on your kitchen. If your
Tips to keep mosquitos away Commentary by Patrick Lewis According to the Office of the Indiana State Chemist, June and July are the peak months in our state for West Nile Virus to safety be spread. This means the next two months tend to be the busiest for our pesky little friends. Who wants to be unable to enjoy an evening on their patio without covering up in clothing and coating themselves in chemicals? With that in mind our company would like to give you some tips to keep your property mosquito free. • Eliminate stagnant water and drainage – Mosquitoes require water for breeding. Ensure that there are not areas of stagnant water on your property such as clogged gutters, drainage ditches, low spots in your yard that collect water or even a flower pot. • Remove clutter and debris – These could be as simple as tarps, children’s toys collecting water, a bird bath, an inoperable fountain or a bucket sitting upright in the yard. We recommend changing birdbath water weekly, ensuring toys are put away in a manner that
they will not collect water, keeping tarps taught so that water will not puddle and flipping over buckets and containers. • Ground cover and grass – Keep tall grass, weeds, and brush trimmed around your home. These are all areas where mosquitoes rest throughout the day. • Don’t rely on bug zappers or citronella – These solutions are not very effective for mosquitoes like they are for other insects. This is because mosquitoes that are biting you are attracted to your heat and carbon dioxide, which cannot be masked with these things. Zappers catch some mosquitoes just by chance, but mosquitoes are not attracted to light like moths, flies, etc. • Utilize residential mosquito services – Take back your yard with large-scale services to treat your entire backyard. Patrick Lewis is a Hamilton County resident, Purdue graduate and owner of NoSquitoes – Outdoor Bug Control, a company that specializes in mosquito eradication services.
appliances are dated, you can look at updating to stainless steel. Faded or chipped cabinets can be refinished to a modern white or a trendy neutral color, such as gray or even sage green. Updating your countertops is always a good idea. Granite is still popular, though other materials like quartz, solid wood, or marble are gaining interest. Kitchens sell houses above all else so make sure your kitchen is something people will remember. Any kitchen or bathroom remodel should always increase the value of your home and thus help with resale later. If you’re still stuck on where to begin, give us a call at 317-575-9540. We’ve worked with many homeowners to help update their homes and can help you, too.

This beautiful front living space was created over a decade ago and has matured wonderfully. The vibe outdoor living is very inviting and full of wonder as you journey to the front door. Packed with seasonal color and a generous width on the walk, the immediate sensation is that you have arrived at a special home. Thoughtful landscapes Welcome to the lost art of thoughtful landscaping and to what we would all prefer our front entry to resemble! The flowering dogwoods were in full bloom this spring and a glimpse of the blazing creeping phlox is peeking on the edge. When these guys begin to tire, profusely flowering native fothergill take over followed immediately by joyful yellow creeping sedum and knockout roses that persists into early fall with a few colorful surprises along the way. We use sedum (a fantastic succulent), phlox, other groundcovers and boulders/cobble to gradually reduce exhausting mulch requirements. Relevant sidewalks Entry sidewalks have become a benign
“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely.

afterthought in home building and we are committed to changing that to something more representative of our upscale homes. The featured 48-inch-wide walk represents what appropriate scale is and how to imagine something more relevant for our lifestyle. A spacious courtyard, just outside the front door, is a favorite gathering area during parties and as daily guests arrive. Front walks are becoming an accepted contributor to the vibe and sense of place we hope to create. Front courtyards are gorgeous and remind us of vacation spots and historic living. The reality is that most homes cannot properly accommodate a front courtyard without serious planning and comprehensive innovation. Perhaps that’s what makes them so compelling and a frequent request. Generating the right vibe requires smart design, a generous plant pallet … and an emotional connection.

The joy of mothering tweens Commentary by Stephanie Sullivan

Schönbrunn Palace: The house Maria built Commentary by Don Knebel Some Americans may remember that Maria Theresa of Austria was the mother of Marie Antoinette, who lost her head travel during the French Revolution. Most don’t know that Maria Theresa built a luxurious summer residence inspired by the French palace whose excesses contributed to her daughter’s demise. In the 16th century, the Habsburg family, which ruled much of Central Europe until 1918, acquired a tract of land southwest of Vienna, called Schönbrunn, for royal hunting expeditions. In 1688, Leopold I commissioned a design for a grandiose palace on the site, intended to rival the Palace of Versailles. Financial realities prevented him from realizing his dream. When Leopold’s son, Charles VI, died without sons, his daughter, Maria Theresa, succeeded him. In 1743, she began building a baroque palace at Schönbrunn based on the original designs, eventually adding a floor to accommodate her 16 children, the second youngest of which was Marie Antoinette. When completed, Schönbrunn Palace contained 1441 lavishly appointed rooms, twice as many as Versailles. A Great Gallery evoked Versailles’ famous Hall of Mirrors.
The south side of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Schönbrunn Palace has long played host to history. In 1762, Mozart, then six years old, played the harpsichord for Maria Theresa and her family in a mirrored parlor, jumpstarting his career. In both 1805 and 1809, Napoleon lived in the palace after capturing Vienna. After Napoleon was exiled, his son by Maria Theresa’s great granddaughter, whose father Napoleon had defeated, occupied Napoleon’s favorite bedroom. In 1961, President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev met in the Great Gallery to try to reduce tensions following the Bay of Pigs.
Forty of the most important rooms of Schönbrunn Palace are open to the public, providing insight into the life of Maria Theresa, one of the greatest European leaders of her time. A trip to Vienna is not complete without a visit to Schönbrunn. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.
