Brainard talks continuing to develop Arts District

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

With several new developments in Carmel’s downtown – phase two of the Carmel City Center, the redevelopment of the Party city Time Rental site and the $100-millionplus Midtown project – many are wondering if attention is being paid to the Carmel Arts & Design District. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard told Current in Carmel last month that he believes work isn’t complete and there’s still more that he’d like to see done in that part of the city. PNC LOT Brainard Brainard said he thinks the corner of Main Street and Range Line Road is a key intersection in Carmel with tons of visibility and foot traffic. At one point, all three of the corner shops were vacant but now all of them have occupants. On the northeast corner sits the parking lot for PNC Bank, a lot that’s often used to host local events such as Santa’s house and the Christmas tree or the Strawberry Festival. Brainard’s idea is to construct a multilevel mixed-use development on that corner that would house the newly relocated PNC branch. He said not only would it complete the four corners, but it would help drive foot traffic east on Main Street toward the art galleries, restaurants and businesses on that side of the arts district. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES While there’s talk of new businesses and commercial development within the district, Brainard said that the boundaries should stay the same and remain within the archways. He said it’s important to protect the residential areas and homes that live nearby. He said that

60 years!

the residential homes that have been converted into businesses along Range Line Road, north of Main Street, should maintain their character. He said generally that area should stay the way it is and not be torn down for larger buildings. REZONING A number of lots on the west end of Main Street in the district, across from the Beauty Lounge, have been proposed to undergo a zoning change. Instead of being purely residential, these lots could be zoned for business which means someone could conceivably tear down structures and build multi-level commercial buildings. Brainard said this use fits in with the city’s long-term master plan and a vision drawn up by urban planning expert Jeff Speck. MORE PUBLIC SPACES The Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the Carmel City Council are considering if and how to turn the interior courtyard plaza of the

Sophia Square building into a public meeting space where events can be held. Brainard said there can always be opportunities for more public meeting spaces. If the parking lot south of Main Street near Old Town Tavern is ever redeveloped Brainard said he envisions the space to not only improve parking but provide for walkable pathways and attractive public spaces. FILLING VACANCIES Brainard said he doesn’t think vacancies are a huge concern in the district, but there are always a few spots left to fill. One is a newly constructed building south of Main Street near Muldoon’s. There’s also a vacant space where Barrett Eye Care was located that the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation is looking to fill with an art gallery. In addition, while not a vacancy, there’s always talk of constructing some sort of development on the empty field across from Bub’s Burgers.

Bob & Jean Badger celebrate 60 years – Lt. Colonel Bob (Robert) and Jean (Paarlberg) Badger celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 25. The couple met at a friend’s wedding and have been inseparable ever since. They were married at The Federated Church in Harvey, Ill. in 1955. Their military life allowed them to live in many states with their final assignment in Naples, Italy. Bob retired after 22 years with the United States Army and was a legal administrator for several law firms in Indianapolis. The couple raised four children: Marty Smith (San Diego, California), Robert Badger, Jr. (Sussex, Wisconsin), Jim Badger (Zionsville) and Chris Badger (Zionsville). They have 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The couple now resides in Zionsville and attends Zionsville Presbyterian Church. Bob is a former Carmel City councilmember.

Putting yogis on water

By Alec Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com

If someone is searching for a challenging workout, then Paddle into Yoga may be the one for them. The class, which is bediversion ing offered by Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation at Central Park Lagoon, combines paddle boarding and yoga. Taught by a local yoga instructor, Heather Leo, once a person has the basics of stand-up paddleboarding down, then they advance into vinyasa, or flow yoga. “It really takes the typical yoga class onto water, so to speak, and within a natural setting with the entire Central Park surrounding you,” said Lindsay Labas, Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation marketing director. The idea for the program came about due to recent trends in the fitness community, and being innovative and creative with the fitness programs, according to Labas. She reached out to Leo, who owns a yoga studio in Carmel, and both thought it would be a good idea to offer to the public. It’s now in its second summer. “I know on Instagram a lot of yoga enthusiasts post pictures of them doing yoga poses in all of these interesting locations, and I think

it follows that trend just bringing a typical class that typically takes place inside into the outdoors and really welcoming nature into everything that they’re doing fitness and recreation wise,” Labas said. “Having less fear in their lives, and being able to just relax for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, whatever time we have together. That’s what keeps it going for me,” Leo said. Sessions take place for four weeks, and the next four week session will be on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. starting July 7 and running through July 28. The equipment is provided, and the cost is $110.

The event is sponsored by Carmel Utilities, Department of Storm Water Management and Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District. In addition to having the painted barrels judged by experts, there will also be a “People’s Choice” selection based on votes from the public who will have the chance to see them at the Carmel Farmers Market on Aug. 1 and then the following week along Main Street in the Arts & Design District – up until the Aug. 8 Gallery Walk, where they will be auctioned off to the highest bidders, with net proceeds used to fund water education signage in Carmel Clay Parks. Rain barrels are growing in popularity across the country and decorated barrels are not only nice to look at, but are a great way to save water and help the environment. Artists

A 43,875-square-foot building addition is in the works for the Indy Spine Group Medical Office Building near U.S. development 31 in Carmel. The new two-story structure will provide a surgery area and related recovery areas for Indy Spine Group, according to documents sent to the Carmel Plan Commission. Browning Real Estate Properties is having its architects make sure the new building matches the look and design of the existing building, which takes up 8.61 acres.

The site next to the existing building is currently vacant and was previously approved for the Hotel Indigo project in 2008 but that never came to fruition. The parking area will be expanded with two new patient drop-off areas. An emergency generator will be attached to the building. The addition will be an “L” shape that connects to the first and second floors of the existing building. In the report, city planners requested that additional landscaping be added to help hide the back of the building. The item will be considered at a July 7 special studies committee meeting.

HATCH no ‘short term fix’

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com

HATCH, a program organized to provide area families with access to egg products at local food pantries, has philanthropy moved into its second phase of operations following a successful pilot program. Organized with the assistance of Kroger stores, Elanco Animal Health, Rose Acre Farms, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana and Midwest Food Bank, HATCH provided one egg to local food banks for every Kroger brand medium

egg carton purchased. Over 100,000 eggs in total were provided to area food banks after the pilot’s conclusion on June 20. The challenge HATCH organizers now face is determining how to maintain and expand upon their success following the initial burst of community action. “We know we want to scale up in terms of geography served,” John Elliott, manager of public affairs for Kroger said.

Organizations share heritage at farmers market By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com Two local cultural organizations brought the big wide world closer to home at the Carmel Farmers Market on June 27. culture The Pakistani American Friendship Association and the Indianapolis Russian School shared food, facts and stories about their home countries with market attendees. The Mayor’s Advisory Commission on human relations invited the groups to the market. “This is a good way to show our culture,” said Dr. Huma Siddiqui, the president of PAFA. PAFA describes itself as a non-religious, nonpolitical organization that seeks to promote relations between Americans and Pakistanis. The PAFA booth had clothing, toys and trinkets made in Pakistan. They gave free samples of Samosas, a baked pastry with a vegetable filling. They displayed prominently a picture of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist that survived a Taliban attack on her way to school. She’s now a voice for universal education. “Do you know about Malala?” Dr. Khurram Siddiqui asked a young girl who passed the booth. “She’s our hero.” The Indianapolis Russian School, which

Center co-founder Katya Klauz said she wants people to know that there’s more to Russia than Vladimir Putin. “We’re trying to improve the whole image of Russia,” Klauz said. “We’re trying to be very inclusive.” The Indianapolis Russian School started teaching Ukrainian courses due to the Russian

annexation of Crimea in early 2014. She said in her experience people want to learn more about Russian culture. “We had 1,200 people come to our Russian festival,” she said. “All the food we made was gone before it ended.” “We don’t want to lose our history,” said Natalia Rekhter, a co-founder of the school. “We like U.S. culture, but we also want our kids to be proud of Russian culture.”

Take a walk through some of Carmel’s oldest neighborhoods, and you’ll find tree-lined streets in most areas. These represent a controlled growth though the years to conserve a part of a densely back in the day wooded area you would have found in the mid1800’s. About 200 years ago, forests covered about 85 percent of the state. Yet, by the early 1900’s, most of the land had been cleared to make room for agricultural and industrial progress. At the time, Carmel’s wooded areas still had a few old mammoths waiting to come down to make room for crops and homes. In fact, loggers were frequently seen near Carmel’s railroad waiting to transport their goods. Pictured here on October 6, 1907 was the largest tree, 9,872 feet of lumber, ever cut prior to that time. Standing next to the haul was 17 year-old Frank Aldred, who was born and raised in Carmel and died December 25, 1963. In the background is Carmel’s old grist mill, which sat next to the railroad tracks.

Fireworks legal until July 9 By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

current law

The Fourth of July is over and some people in Carmel might have extra fireworks sitting in their garage. Under present law, Hoosiers can city still light up the sky until July 9. It allows for fireworks to be set off five days before and five days after July 4 until 10 p.m., and until midnight on the Fourth of July. Cities don’t have the ability to shorten these hours unless the Indiana State Legislature takes action. City Councilor Sue Finkam conducted a survey last year and found that the majority of those polled want fewer days and/or shorter hours for fireworks. “A lot of people tell us that their babies can’t sleep or their pets get scared by the fireworks,” she said. “We all understand that during the holiday it’s going to happen but it gets kind of ridiculous five days later.” In addition, there’s a growing campaign on social media nationwide to be aware of military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder and the effects that nonstop fireworks can have on them. Finkam’s survey found that 66 percent of 557 people surveyed want hours and/or days

Indiana state law forbids the city from limiting the use of consumer fireworks: • Between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on June 29 and 30. • Between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on July 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. • Between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight on July 4. • Between the hours of 10 a.m. on Dec. 31 and 1 a.m. on Jan. 1.

adjusted with the rest of the people happy with the current law and hours. In 2014, the Carmel City Council discussed shortening fireworks to just July 3, 4 and 5 as a part of a new noise ordinance, but City Attorney Doug Haney said that state law would need to be changed first. Finkam said she’s talked to some legislators and she’s hopeful it can have a chance in the Statehouse for the next session. “We just want our cities and towns to be able to make their own decisions about this,” she said. “We want local control.” If you hear fireworks outside of allowed days and hours, contact the Carmel Police Department on its nonemergency number at 571-2500.

Doctor organizes ‘Man Olympics’ By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Often a cancer fundraiser will involve a black-tie dinner or a concert. But when Dr. Matt philanthropy Priddy decided to honor his brother, Joel, who died of T-cell lymphoma in 2004 at age 24, he went a different route. Matt decided to go with tricycle races, Jell-O pits and water balloons in a slingshot. It’s called the “Man Olympics” and last time they raised around $5,600 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Matt and his wife Jennifer, an OB-GYN, have hosted the event at their house every year since 2010. They took last year off while Matt ran his successful campaign for LLS Man of Year for Indianapolis, a campaign where he raised $186,000, an individual state record. This year, their fundraiser is on July 25. Matt, who grew up in Carmel, was very close to Joel, who is two years younger. They both attended IU and were roommates during their senior year of undergrad and during medical school. They bought a house together and were on the same path when Joel was diagnosed with cancer at the end of his second year of med school. He died a year later.

“Not very long from diagnosis to when he passed away,” Matt said. “It’s the number one cancer that young people get. So if you’re talking about a child or a young person, you’re statistically probably talking about a blood cancer. It’s a waster of potential.” Matt, who now lives in Westfield, said Joel was more outgoing than he was and would easily be described as an extrovert.

“Where’s Amy?” … I had the opportunity to attend the Civic Theatre’s 100th Gala Celebration at the historic and beautiful Booth Tarkington House in Indianapolis. The night was filled with glitz and glamour, cocktails, entertainment, dinner under the stars and a festive champagne toast. Guests were treated to special performances by the Jr.Civic YAP and Civic actors from the past. Everyone enjoyed visiting the photo display of ‘100 Years of Civic’ and touring the Tarkington grounds. Booth Tarkington was born in Indianapolis in 1869. He was one of Civic Theatre’s earliest and most important supporters. An acclaimed author and playwright, he was one of the more

popular American novelists of his time. The night of the Gala I took time out from taking photos to sit and absorb the magnitude of a century in the making. An institution that I had to grew up with as a child. Civic Theatre taught me how to appreciate the arts and it was a true blessing to see the youth working hard to make their dreams in the arts come true. I think honorary trustee Kate Appel said it best: “Theatre combines all the performing arts disciplines - singing, acting, dance and music. Civic is one of the few institutions in our region to nurture and educate toddlers, youth, teens and adults in all of these art forms.

Carmel artists talks about the ‘magical moments’ that fuel her art By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Any artist will tell you they need to feel inspired to create their best works. Sights, sounds and experiences all play a role in a well-developed piece of art. For Monica Zunino-Mel, a Carmel resident and artist, inspiration is cover story often found in a calming, relaxing environment. She has a very specific tradition she practices before beginning her work. “I walk into my studio, I light a candle up, I thank that magical moment because to me it’s really special and then turn my music on and I begin painting with peace and joy,” said Zunino-Mel. Her foray into art began when she decided to leave her job as a speech therapist. She began to explore with different forms of art and found her niche in painting. The medium she uses is acrylic on canvas. On average, one painting takes her four days to complete. Zunino-Mel’s method is relaxed and carefree. She begins her artwork with the canvas lying on the floor. She utilizes tools such as spray bottles with water, brushes and paint daubers. She layers colors on the canvas and builds upon them.

“My method is through play, experimentation and observation. I experiment with colorful layering and different forms that I discover as the brush flows on the canvas. Even though I always begin with a main idea it changes as the painting evolves and develops,” said Zunino-Mel. While there are two re-occurring themes in her artwork – nature and the female silhouette, there are no rules when it comes to her creative process. “I don’t look at my paintings from the perspective of the color theory. I look for what makes me happy and if it’s like me. I try to create colorful, unique and expressive paintings that combine the basic painting principles with my personal expression. I want my compositions to feel natural so once in a while I break the compositional rules,” Zunino-Mel said. Creating a work of inspired art isn’t always easy and the ideas don’t always jump off the canvas. “I believe creativity and intuition are intimately connected. I rely on my intuition above all when fear or frustrations arise. I try to stay positive. My intuition will tell me when my painting is done,” she said. When the creative well runs dry, Zunino-Mel steps out of her studio to gather her thoughts and feelings. She often mediates outside, walks her dog, Rocco, or works out in order to clear her mind. She then returns to her studio and finds her creative drive again. Zunino-Mel’s artwork has been featured at several different art fairs throughout Indianapolis. She participated in the Broad Ripple Art Fair and has been invited to participate in the Pen-

• Family: Husband, Adrian Mel, daughters Matilda (15) and Carmela (12) • Favorite thing about living in Carmel? Safe, clean and organized city. Excellent public schools. Easy to get back and forth. “Overall great place to live,” Zunino-Mel said. • Favorite activity to do in spare time? Biking, running, shopping, going to restaurants and enjoying programs at the Palladium. • Favorite local restaurant? Sunday brunch: Patachou. Dinner: Divvy. For pizza: Pizzology • Something interesting that no one would know about you? Worked out during both pregnancies until eight months pregnant. • Favorite vacation spot?

rod Arts Fair in September. She has sold several pieces with prices ranging from $1,000-$1,800. “I think my most important experience was my first art fair because I found the acceptance by the people expressed in different ways. That was very satisfying and encouraging to me. I am very grateful for the people’s acceptance,” she said. Zunino-Mel has lived in Carmel for the last four years, but she is originally from Argentina. Her husband, Adrien Mel, works for Dow Agro Sciences and was transferred to Indiana. The couple has two daughters. Matilda is 15 and attends Carmel High School and Carmela is 12 and goes to Creekside Middle School. Zunino-Mel loves living in Carmel but admits the winter weather has been challenging. As her daughters get older and are more immersed in school and social activities, Zunino-Mel finds herself delving further into what makes her happy … her art. “I have dedicated my time as a mother all these years not missing a thing, but now I have really realized that because they do not need me as much as they used to I can now put all my energy into my paintings,” she said. Zunino-Mel said she paints to express and share her inner world. The two most important ingredients to her art are passion and creativity. “To me, essential in my artwork is the passion because without it nothing is possible in an artist’s world and the creativity because it’s a balance between spontaneity and forethought,” she said.

Competitive dance draws crazies

F R O M   T HE BA C KSH O P Now playing: Meet Mr. Obvious It’s extremely telling, in our view, when the man formerly known as The Worst President in United States History takes a swipe at the man that now has solidified himself as the most inept. Yes, former President Jimmy Carter sallied forth last week to tell Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute, that, in his opinion, President Barack Obama has failed on the world stage? “On the world stage, I think (Obama’s successes have) been minimal,” Carter said. “I think he’s done some good things domestically like the health program and so forth, but on the world stage, just to be as objective about it as I can, I can’t think of many nations in the world where we have a better relationship now than we did when he took over. … If you look at Russia, if you look at England, if you look at China, if you look at Egypt and so forth – I’m not saying it’s his fault – but we have not improved our relationship with individual countries, and I would say that the United States’ influence and prestige and respect in the world is probably lower now than it was six or seven years ago.” Gee, really? Don’t be concerned that Carter has regained his footing, though, because he also said Secretary of State John Kerry is one of the best ever in that post. “I think John Kerry has been a very courageous and innovative and dynamic secretary of state,” Carter said. And we think the Easter Bunny is a swell dude, too. ••• The Fourth of July has been celebrated in grand fashion, and as we have reminded you previously, a huge round of applause needs to go out to all the volunteers.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

An apple a day

Commentary by Terry Anker

We tend to be a people of grand flourishes. We build to the big game – and it is over in a shot. We talk politics and spend billions – then discard the candidates like yesterday’s fish. We celebrate life’s milestones with pomp and circumstance – all the while ignoring the beauty of the commonplace and every day. To be sure, some events warrant special attention. One might look at the sky a million times and only see an eclipse once in a lifetime. But is the sky more beautiful during this rare celestial phenomena or more so on a typical, even ordinary, sunny morning? Do we order our lives too much for the exception and therein fail to recognize the wonder that surrounds us in the conventional and routine? As my body continues to remind me of its advancing years, websites dedicated to lasting and preserving good health have become more a part of the internet surfing routine. The advice found ranges from the inordinately complex to the sublimely sim-

ply. There is an abundant array of potions, treatments, books and brews designed to improve our lives; and, I suspect, lighten our wallets. While many of these add benefits, my suspicious and thrifty nature prevents a full embrace. At the spectrum’s other extreme, comes the relaxed almost folksy direction to simply eat no more than one’s body (per age, gender, and activity) can reasonably be expected to digest. Could it all be this easy? The old English proverb dictates, “Ait a happle avore gwain to bed, An’ you’ll make the doctor beg his bread.” Wouldn’t it be glorious if true? Eat an apple a day, and keep the doctor away! Really? I even like apples. Is it in the routine, consistent acts of caring for ourselves that we will find longest heath?

Q U O T E  O F   T HE WEEK Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink in the wild air...

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our topic for discussion this morning, class: “Does competitive dance make a tween-age girl crazy or are crazy girls the only ones drawn to competitive humor dance?” Either way, as I sit in the lobby of a Midwest casino with my 11-year-old daughter recapping her first day at national competition, it occurs to me we may have a problem. Our youngest is a borderline brat! She’s always had a flair for the dramatic – she’s the baby of the family after all – but I do feel like the “all-about-me” attitude has increased. I just can’t tell how much is related to the scary-catty-emotional phase common to preteens and how much is because of the scary-catty-emotional world of dance. Her older sister was nothing like this. She’s as even-keeled as they come, hormones and flighty friends be damned. She seriously could care less if others like her and was rarely sucked into the ever-changing popularity maze of middle school. But she wasn’t a dancer either. Her “thang” was rec volleyball where the only accessories were knee pads. She won or lost based on how many points her teamed scored, not on how cute she was or how much money we spent. That’s the reality of dance. The more cash you can commit, the more your dancer can do, and consequently, the better she’ll be. We allowed our daughter one solo and three group numbers this year because it’s so expensive. She understands and respects this restriction, but knowing the why doesn’t help curb her jealously or bitterness when she sees her friends up on stage for six, eight or even 10 numbers. And let’s not forget the inherent drama when 40 girls in false eyelashes and sequin booty shorts have to sometimes compete against each other. It’s so over the top I feel like I’m a supporting cast member in the Real Dance Girls of Indianapolis. [Bravo, please contact me! This show would be fantastic!) So is my daughter’s diva attitude because she’s 11 or because she’s a dancer? I suppose only time will tell. Until then, wish me luck! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Who’s on first?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“Time” magazine once named “Who’s on First?” the greatest comedy sketch of the 20th century. I first heard it humor performed on the “Abbott and Costello” TV show when I was about eight, and I remember thinking: Wow, baseball AND funny. What could be better? My love of “Who’s on first” was revitalized in 1972 when two of my high school students aspired to do stand-up comedy and I convinced them to hone their delivery skills by mastering this iconic skit. Months later, the comedy duo of Pete and Brian made a latenight appearance at one of the premier comedy clubs in New York. Several weeks ago, I learned that Peter, had made a name for himself as a character actor in movies and doing voiceovers. He was coming to Indy to be a guest celebrity at the recent PopCon event. I invited my former student to be on my TV segment. At dinner, we reminisced about mutual love of the comic duo, and I suggested we try to do the routine on TV the next day. “Absolutely,” Pete said. “When can we rehearse?” “How about now?”

Our struggle to master the routine was a reminder of how brilliant Bud and Lou were in their timing. Lou was the frustrated little boy, and Bud was restrained and patient, setting himself apart from his partner, the essence of most great comedy teams. The routine differed slightly each time, because the script was conceptualized, not memorized. Any variation, intentional or not, could be adjusted by either partner. “Tell me the guy’s name on first” “Who.” “The guy on first.” “Who!” “What’s the guy’s name on first?” “What’s on second!” Last week on WISH-TV, Peter Spellos and I did a brief version of “Who’s on First” during my morning segment. Were we any good? I don’t know. “I don’t know!” Oh, that’s our third baseman. (For a full version of this column go to currentinwestfield.com)

Sip, see and enjoy this year’s Art of Wine By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

On July 18 IU Health North Hospital will host the 7th annual Art of Wine event in the Carmel Arts & Design District from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event features art from local region artists along with wine from local wineries. “We feature the art of local artists who are affiliated with the galleries in the Arts & Design District. We have them create a work of art from an oversize wine bottle. Those are on display in the galleries and special locations through the district,” said Vanessa Stiles, president and CEO of Victory Sun Inc. Some of the works are wine-inspired and some are the works sold by local galleries. Many of the boutiques and galleries located in the Arts & Design District will be open and hosting special sales or promotions. Tickets to participate in the unlimited wine tasting are $15 (cash only). Guests will be given a special commorative tasting glass emblazoned with IU Health’s logo. Guests can take the glass to each booth where wineries will offer several different wines to sample. Wine by the glass or bottle will also be available. Some of the wineries participating include Blackhawk Winery & Vineyard, Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards & Peace Water Winery. The event isn’t just about art and wine. It’s also a familyfriendly event. There is no cost to walk through the event and enjoy the entertainment. “We see lots of families come out and enjoy dinner. The galleries are open. We have a caricature artist. We have another smaller act that is a lot of fun called Oferle appearing in Sophia

Square Courtyard so there are lots of family friendly activities as well as the wine event that night,” said Stiles. There will be a headlining band, Judah and the Lion, who have appeared on ‘The Tonight Show with David Letterman.’ “Last year the music was one of the reasons I wanted to go. The band they had playing there for free was a band I wanted to see and I would have paid to see,” said Amy Bennett, account executive for WTTS. Not only will the restaurants located in the area be open for guests to grab dinner some will even have grab and go options. Bub’s Burgers, Mudbugs Cajun Café and Joe’s Butcher Shop will all have stations set up throughout the event. The event will take place in the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District so a portion of roads in the area will be closed beginning at 10:30 a.m. that day. Closures will occur at the following locations. • 1st Ave N.E./S.E. and E. Main Street (by Woody’s Library Restaurant) • 1st Street S.E./S.W. and S. Range Line Road (by Integrity Automotive) • 1st Street N.E./N.W. and N. Range Line Road (by Tina’s Traditional Old English Kitchen) • 4th Ave. SW & W. Main Street (by the roundabout) Guests are encouraged to walk or bike to the event via the Monon Trail. For those who choose to drive a shuttle will be available from Carmel High School beginning at 5 p.m. “I know last year my dad went and he doesn’t live in Carmel either. He said he left with a little bit of Carmel envy because it’s such a cute area,” said Bennett. For more information visit carmelartsanddesign.com.

Residents bemoaning the utter lack of nearby oceans in the oncoming summer will have their fix with the 2015 FlowRider surfing competisummer fun tion held in The Waterpark at the Monon Community Center beginning at 9:30 a.m. on July 25. “You typically see surfing along the coasts, so being able to have a competition in Indiana is matchless,” said MCC marketing director Linsay Labas. “Being on the national circuit this year provides a unique opportunity for us.” MCC has been working with local hotels for room blocks and will even designate a camping area within Central Park for visiting boarders. Whether you struggle to stand on a board or ride the waves like a champ, all skill levels will be accommodated. Cash prizes will go to top performers in the pro division, with other goodies reserved for those at the amateur level. “I think the most exciting part about the event is the chance to see some top flowboarders who compete throughout the country,” Labas said. “It also provides the local public a chance to watch their friends and family members compete in a sport they have been practicing either for years or just this year throughout our Waterpark seasons.” The national circuit itself is also seeing some changes this year with the addition of an adaptive division in Stand Up and Body-board contests exclusive to individuals with disabilities. With boarding company Carbon acting as a sponsor and offering prizes to participants, just about everyone will have the chance to show off their skills. “We are excited to see local participants who can show off all the skills they’ve been learning with us,” Labas said. “Attendees should be ready for a fun day of surfing and spectating.” Participants can register at carmelclayparks.com, with registration fees ranging from $35 for the amateur division to $50 for pro. Spectators are also welcomed with full access to the park at $10 for the day.

What to say: ‘Burned’ or ‘burnt?’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

The Scoop: How about this: a small, casual, old-fashioned restaurant that serves traditional hotdogs in fun, family oriented atmosphere? If that sounds good to you, then Zacky’s is just the place for you. A wide range of hotdogs prepared in a variety of ways fills the Zacky’s menu. Not into hotdogs? That’s OK, because Zacky’s also offers barbecue items such as ribs, brisket and Italian beef. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out Zacky’s combos and kids’ menu.

Type of food: Hotdogs, Barbecue Price of entrees: $2 to $6 Dress: Casual

Question: “Hi Jordan! Recently a friend of mine corrected me – or attempted to – saying I should have used grammar guy ‘burned’ instead of ‘burnt.’ The sentence was something like, ‘The chicken was good, but a little burnt.’ Which one is the right way to go?” Answer: It seems like we’ve had a lot of these transatlantic dilemmas popping up lately. Maybe there’s a favorable wind over the Atlantic? You may have guessed already, but what we have here is a style split between British and American English. Both “burned” and “burnt” are perfectly acceptable as the past and past participle forms of “burn,” and also as the adjectival form. Which one you choose is likely to depend on where you’re from.

In North America, you’re far more likely to hear people use “burned” as the past tense of “burn,” while “burnt” is often reserved for adjectival uses (ex. burnt sienna, burnt toast, etc.). Our friends the Brits, on the other hand, are more likely to use “burnt” as the past tense of “burn.” I don’t have hard numbers on how often you’ll hear them say “burned,” but I’m going to go out on a limb and say less. At any rate, while either “burned” or “burnt” would be acceptable in your example sentence, “burnt” is probable the more standard American English choice. As always, thanks for writing in. Please keep sending in those grammar questions! Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@ gmail.com.

Brandenburg Gate: Symbol of Unity Commentary by Don Knebel For nearly 30 years, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate was a symbol of division. It is now a symbol of German pride and travel unity. In about 1788, Prussian King Frederick William II ordered construction of a monument to peace at the western end of the Unter den Linden, a tree-lined boulevard that led to his palace. His architects designed an 85-feet high triumphal arch modeled on the entrance to the Athens Acropolis. The 213-feet wide gate, now known as the “Brandenburg Gate, was completed in 1791. Six pairs of Doric columns form five passageways, the center one originally reserved for royalty. The chariot of the quadriga atop the arch was formerly driven by Eirene, the Greek goddess of peace. When the Prussians defeated Napoleon in 1814, they replaced Eirene with Victoria, the winged goddess of victory. The Brandenburg Gate lies along Ebertstraße, a north/south street that formed part of the boundary between the Western and Russian sectors when the Allies partitioned Berlin after World War II. When East Germany erected the Berlin Wall in 1961, the wall extended along Ebertstraße, placing the Bran-

denburg Gate just inside East Berlin. Travel of any kind through the gate was banned and the Brandenburg Gate became an immediate symbol of resistance to a divided Berlin. On June 26, 1963, President John Kennedy spoke just west of the gate, uttering the now famous words, “Ich bin ein Berliner” (“I am a Berliner”). On June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan, with his back to the Brandenburg Gate, demanded that Soviet Leader Mikhail

Gorbachev “open this gate” and “tear down this wall.” Twenty-nine months later, the wall fell. On December 22, 1989, the Brandenburg Gate reopened.

Bedroom, porch addition improves lifestyle

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

REASON TO REMODEL: After living in their 1960’s home on the south side of Indianapolis for 23 years, the Blueprint for homeowners were improvement desperate for more functional space for themselves and their live-in aging parent. “To make things easier on my father, we gave him full access to the only hall bathroom. As a result, we were forced to use the bathroom on the other side of the house. Our bedroom was cramped and the closet was too small. We also needed more space to entertain. With limited space, we decided to add on a large screen porch that could be enjoyed year-round.” ENLARGED MASTER SUITE SPACE: The north bedroom wall was removed and the bedroom was expanded to create a new master suite. Once the foundation and framing work was complete, interior walls were framed to create a new walk-in cedar closet and access into an existing bathroom off the living room. The newly reconfigured bathroom features a remodeled cultured marble shower with a glass enclosure, new flooring and oil rubbed bronze hardware & plumbing.

SCREEN PORCH DETAILS: To give the homeowners more access to year-round outdoor living, a new 500 SF screen porch was added off the new bedroom addition. To allow yearround use, EZE Breeze vinyl windows were selected over traditional screens. A Mitsubishi heating/cooling unit was installed allowing the homeowners to enjoy four-season comfort. Recessed can lights and two ceiling fans create ample lighting for evening use. A stamped concrete patio connects the new screen porch to the existing outdoor hot tub area. New patio doors create an access point into the screen porch.
