‘Hotly contested’ primaries expected in 5th District By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Less than three weeks after U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks’ announced that she will retire from Congress at the end of her ELECTION term, two Democrats and one Republican have launched campaigns for her 5th District seat. As of July 2, the candidates include Democrats Dee Thornton, a Carmel resident who lost to Brooks in 2018, and Jennifer Christie, an Indianapolis science teacher and mother of four. On the Republican side, Noblesville resident Micah Beckwith, a small business owner and pastor, announced his intentions to run July 1. With the election for the soon-to-be open seat occurring in 2020 — a presidential election year — voter turnout is expected to be high. Local leaders from both parties expect to see crowded polling places and primary races in May 2020. “I imagine we’re going to have some hotly contested primaries on both sides,” said Joe Weingarten, chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. Hamilton County ReWeingarten publican Party chair Laura Campbell declined to name potential candidates but said she’s had discussions with a couple of people with “name recognition” who are considering a run for the 5th District. Campbell “I think there will probably be a good field of people who are interested in running in the Republican primary,” Campbell said. Thornton received 43 percent of the vote for the 5th District seat in 2018 — the highest percentage earned by a Democrat since the district formed in 2000 — and Weingarten said the party has grown stronger in Hamilton County and the district since then. He said the Democratic party plans to send a national team to the 5th District to help with the campaign. “I look at it from a standpoint that we actually could get a Democrat to win,” Weingarten said. Campbell acknowledged that as Hamilton County has grown its demographics have

THE CANDIDATES As of July 2, three candidates had announced plans to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana’s 5th District.

Dee Thornton

After gathering more support than any other Democratic candidate who’s challenged Republican U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks in the 5th District, Dee Thornton is ready to campaign for the seat again. The Carmel resident, who had never run for office before, earned 43 percent of the vote in 2018. With a bit of experience under her belt, she expects to do even better the second time. “When you’re a first-time candidate, you’re learning your way around,” Thornton said. “This time, I think we’re going to have a good plan in place, and I believe that the 5th District can be flipped. It can be blue.” Thornton and her husband have three children. She retired from Xerox to start her own business. Thornton will hold a campaign kickoff event July 15. Learn more at deethorntonforcongress.com.

Jennifer Christie

As a scientist and mother of four young children, Indianapolis resident Jennifer Christie said she feels called to run for office to help address climate change, an issue she believes could have a major impact on future generations. “I feel we’re not making sufficient progress to solve climate change,” she said. “I feel I have some qualifications to bring a new perspective to a tough issue that is, in my opinion, the greatest threat to ever face humanity, so having that as our greatest challenge can also be our greatest opportunity.” Christie teaches science classes at the Westfield Washington Public Library. She ran a short campaign for the 5th District in 2018 but withdrew from the race before the primary and was not on the ballot. Learn more at JenniferForIndiana.com.

shifted slightly to the left. She expects candidates from both parties to focus on appealing to moderate and undecided voters in 2020. “With next year being a presidential year, there will be a lot of people who don’t vote every election who come out (to vote),” she said. “I think that the independent voter will

Micah Beckwith

Noblesville resident Micah Beckwith was the first candidate to announce a campaign for the 5th District Republican primary. Beckwith is a father, small business owner and pastor at Northview Christian Church in Carmel. “I’ve been watching what is happening in Washington and know that we need someone to take up the fight to defend true Constitutional conservative values,” Beckwith stated in a press release. “I am honored to announce that I will be running for Congress in 2020.” Beckwith has degrees in business and economics and finance and has a passion for learning American history.

come into play next year very strongly.” The 5th District includes all or parts of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties. Since forming in 2000, it has only sent Republicans to Congress, but the gap between the parties has narrowed throughout the years.

“With next year being a presidential year, there will be a lot of people who don’t vote every election who come out (to vote). I think that the independent voter will come into play next year very strongly.” — Hamilton County Republican Party chair Laura Campbell

Hamilton County Jail expansion to open this week By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com This week, inmates at the Hamilton County Jail will be shifted to a new facility add-on that nearly doubles COUNTY the space of the jail. On June 28, Hamilton County officials cut the ribbon on the $13.5 million, 40,000-square-foot expansion at the correctional campus on Cumberland Road after more than a year of construction. The expansion adds 120 beds in 38 prefabricated steel pods in the first of two phases. The first phase also includes classrooms, restrooms, medical support areas and a central command center that overlooks the pods. For more than three years, the county has been challenged by overcrowding at the jail after House Bill 1006 went into effect Jan. 1, 2016. The bill requires counties to incarcerate Level 6 felons rather than send them to a state prisons. In 1993, the Hamilton County Jail was built to house 296 inmates. Today, it houses nearly 400. Thousands are processed through the facility each year. “I was first elected as a county commissioner in 1989, and at that time, this correctional facility basically had one building on it, the old jail where the detectives are right now,” Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said. “In 1993, we built the new jail, and then in 2008 we built on to that facility. In 1989, our population in Hamilton County was about 80,000 people. Now, we’re at 300,000-plus. You don’t have to be an Einstein to know it’s hard to keep up, not only with our infrastructure, but also with our correctional facilities.” Since the latter half of 2015, the county has worked to rearrange inmates in existing facilities to ease crowding, resulting in the decision to move female inmates to the juvenile center and move juveniles back to their former facility in 2017. “In 2006, we built the juvenile detention center,” Dillinger said. “We had spent a lot of time, effort and money researching what we should build, and we built it to facilitate a lot of juveniles and to help other counties put their juveniles here. Unfortunately, after we had that built, the laws changed, the judges changed, and all of a sudden, we weren’t keeping juveniles in it.” The newer juvenile center became underutilized after a change in the law allowed

more juveniles to serve time through home detention. As a result, the juvenile inmates are incarcerated in the original juvenile facility. Relocating the female inmate population to the newer juvenile facility freed up in the primary jail until the expansion was built. “We were kind of disillusioned with that, but it turned out to be a pretty good deal,” Dillinger said. “Now that the legislature makes us keep Level 6 felons in our facilities, you can understand how that would put a heck of a strain on jail.” The expansion adds 120 beds in the section that was set to open July 8. Phase 2 will add 130 more beds in the new building. A timeline has not been set for the second phase. The expansion raises the adult capacity of the jail to 537, including the female inmate population. As of July 1, the inmate count was 405. Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush said his No. 1 goal is to keep Hamilton County as safe as possible. He said he looks forward to expanding opportunities to reduce recidivism. “The expansion also allows us opportunities to provide pathways for reformation and restoration for our inmates,” he said. “I’m a strong believer in justice but also in mercy and compassion.” Quakenbush said two new classrooms in the expansion allow for GED training and other workforce training classes that give inmates an opportunity to plan their lives after completing their sentences. Quakenbush said he is proud of the county’s relatively low inmate population compared to its overall population.

CCS sets redistricting timeline Raymond Mo news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees met June 26 to discuss goals and projections for the 2020-21 EDUCATION and 2021-22 school years. During the meeting, CCS Supt. Michael Beresford told the board to expect redistricting discussions to begin during the 2020-21 school year with redistricting occurring for the 2021-22 school year. “Hopefully, we can get redistricting all sewed up by December (2020),” Beresford said. “In the second semester we will work on transitioning, so that any students and families that are moving to a new school have opportunities to get familiar with the school and get to know the people there.” The board also discussed partnering with the Carmel Clay Public Library during construction of the new Carmel Elementary School building, which will be built at the same time the library across the parking lot is renovated. “We will be working very closely with

them,” CCS Associate Supt. Roger McMichael said. The board also discussed district-wide plans for technology and student device systems. Director of IT and Data Solutions Christi Cloud said Carmel High School will implement a new device system in which each classroom will store a cart of 18 laptops, Chromebooks or tablets. “By putting those carts in the classrooms, students who have their own devices can bring them, but students who might not have that luxury then also have devices easily accessible right within the classroom,” Cloud said. Cloud added that rental devices, takehome devices and student devices are all being explored as possibilities with the goal of providing every student in the district with a device by the 2021-22 school year. “Our teachers have absolutely loved how quick (the devices) are, how fast they are to get online and the collaboration tools that are afforded to them within Google,” Cloud said. “It’s a low cost of ownership with a huge bang for your buck.”

VIDEO BOARD DEBUTS IN MIDTOWN PLAZA

Placemaking unites us Commentary by Mayor Jim Brainard

The City of Carmel unveiled a giant video board in Midtown Plaza July 2 by showing the Women’s World Cup soccer match between the U.S. and England. The U.S. won 2-1 to advance to the finals.

The recent opening of Midtown Plaza and the anticipated completion of the expanded Monon Greenway MIDTOWN this summer are getting many positive reviews from what I’ve seen and heard as I visit the area. It also has already received national recognition for its design by the Congress for New Urbanism for our efforts to revitalize an area that was once home to abandoned industrial sites. In announcing Carmel’s Charter Award, the CNU wrote that we were not only advancing the principles they hold dear to their mission of new urbanism, but that such projects “make a difference in people’s lives.” But this is nothing new. Our strategy in Midtown, including the creation of the public square we call Midtown Plaza and expanding and enhancing the Monon Greenway, calls to mind the goals we have had for more than 20 years in Carmel. We have focused our efforts on creating public spaces, welcoming places for people from all walks of life to gather and meet their neighbors. Renowned urban

planners agree that great cities around the world pay attention to the public realm, create remarkable places that are open to all, fill a variety of needs, attract people from far and near, welcome pedestrians in a safe area and nurture a civil society. In our new Midtown, it might involve meeting for dinner and then spending time playing games or just sitting and chatting on a cool summer’s night. Our city parks offer similar opportunities, but Midtown Plaza is uniquely situated in our more densely populated central core, surrounded by commercial retail, restaurants and residential units. Because of this placement, it remains open much later. And let’s not forget that the new Midtown Plaza is basically a new city park, a place for people from across the city to come together and enjoy the community they call home.

Jim Brainard is mayor of the City of Carmel.

Westfield resident Brian Evers, a UPS pilot, recently returned from flying around the world and leaving ST.

Paired with Brooks’ favorite toy and his paintings is a summary of his story, statistics on pediatric cancer and a link to the Be Brooks Brave Fund. In March 2019, Evers took an “Around the World Trip” and took Hot Wheels packages with him. Brooks’ mom, Tracey, began placing the cars locally and called the effort Finders Keepers. Evers heard of her efforts and wanted to take Finders Keepers worldwide. He delivered the toy cars in Anchorage, Alaska; Osaka, Japan; Taipei, Taiwan; Dubai, UAE; and Cologne, Germany. After leaving three of the packages in the Dubai mall, Brooks’ mom, Tracey Blackmore, was contacted by a boy from England, Fraser Cain, who had found the car. The Facebook post included a snippet about how touched the family was because the boys father had beat cancer in 2014. Evers said he began his mission to do whatever he can to help the Blackmore family. “I don’t know what it was. The actual deliveries of the cars and reading the cards (that tell Brooks’ story), it just, it hit me hard,” Evers said. “Ever since (the beginning), I have been doing everything I can to help the Blackmores.” Since Evers began his mission, others have gotten involved, including his 7-yearold son, Henry.

The second Be Brooks Brave and Shave Summer Celebration raised $28,329 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. The fundraiser, which exceeded its goal by $7,000, was held at Westfield CrossFit BBZ and was nationally sponsored by Sports Clips. The event included head-shaving and braiding. The fundraiser is conducted by St. Baldrick’s. It is one of the largest non-government funded cancer research organizations for children in the world. Evers participated in the fundraiser last year and shaved his head for the cause. He was recognized for raising the most money at last year’s event. Some of Evers’ biggest supporters were his co-workers. “I cannot thank my fellow UPS pilots enough. I am up to over $1,000 of donations from just them,” Evers said.

CCHS remembers Northern Beach

BIER BREWERY NORTH HOLDS INAUGURAL BLOCK PARTY

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In the early 1920s, Herman Merklin had a vision for a recreation area in Carmel. “A group of butchers, inEXHIBIT cluding Merklin, decided they would buy land at 116th Street over by the White River,” Carmel Clay Historical Society Executive Director Debbie Gangstad said. “The other butchers decided they were going to build houses along the river and then sell, but he had a vision to do this park.” An upcoming CCHS exhibit will remember the history of Northern Beach Club. The exhibit will first open to the public from 1 to 4 p.m. July 13. CCHS members can view the exhibit from 5 to 7 p.m. July 12. The exhibit will run through Sept. 1. Merklin bought 22 acres south of 116th Street in 1921 and opened the park in the summer of 1922. Through the years, the area included basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds and horseshoe courts, along with fishing and boating and a dance floor. In 1928, Merklin built a large swimming pool. Merklin, who immigrated from Ger-

many at age 16, died in 1929. The pool had diving boards and a huge slide. However, there is a negative side of Northern Beach’s history. It was not open to people of color. Merklin’s daughter chose to close it in 1971 rather than comply with the federal government’s non-discrimination policy, Gangstad said. After Northern Beach closed, longtime Carmel resident and caterer Jim Steckley purchased the park in 1980. In 1992, Steckley created the Oak Hill Mansion venue for upscale events.

For this book, he had unrestricted access to NASA. He has a lot of behind-the-scenes, unique perspectives and insights into NASA and the Apollo missions.” The program will focus on the adventure, leadership and risks associated with traveling to the moon. “We thought it was important to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing,” O’Sha said. “Not just because of the scientific advancements, but also because of its lasting impact on the human imagination. We feel like it’s a significant and exciting anniversary.” Space buffs will enjoy the intimate details West Reynolds documented by working with NASA, O’Sha said. “His book is fabulous, but we also wanted him to speak here because he did have all this unrestricted access to NASA,” O’Sha said.

Fountains of Hope hits milestone By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Bill Farrar has made it his mission to provide clean water for those in need. Fountains of Hope, GIVING BACK a nonprofit the Carmel resident founded in 2009, celebrates its 10th anniversary July 9. Fountains of Hope grew in the wake of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, which was followed by a cholera outbreak in October 2010. Farrar, executive director for the Carmelbased nonprofit, said Fountains of Hope has installed more than 210 purifier systems in 15 nations and the unincorporated U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. “It’s amazing to see how the Lord has worked through all of this,” Farrar said. “Literally millions of people have gotten safe water to drink with each system we install. The water purifier is much like a municipal water treatment facility.” Fountains of Hope’s system can purify 3,600 gallons per hour, taking only 3 1/2 hours to purify enough water for a village of 500 people for a month. It uses a cup of salt, water and a 12-volt battery. Farrar said the nonprofit primarily works in Puerto Rico and the nations of Haiti, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and India. He has spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria in September 2017. “It still has a lot of problems where a dam burst during Hurricane Maria,” Farrar said. “There is water rationing to many of the northwest towns in Puerto Rico as a cause of that. Many towns are getting their water every other day or every third day. We’ve set up several emergency water stations where people can get water on an emer-

gency basis if they need it.” Farrar said Puerto Rico is now better prepared for when the next hurricane hits. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” Farrar said. In June, Farrar took three water purifier systems to Puerto Rico that were sponsored by Zionsville Presbyterian Church. That made eight systems installed in Puerto Rico, with hopes of installing four more. The purifier system, which uses two 500-gallon water tanks, costs $6,000 to install. Farrar, who has an aviation technology degree from Purdue, installed his first purifier after working in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He then continued working for a purifier manufacturer. For more, visit fountainsofhope.org.

David Weekley homes team members renovate Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center’s Resource Center David Weekley Homes recently partnered with 19 local nonprofit organizations across the country through the company’s CARE Build Month projects. In Indianapolis, the project benefitted Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center, a community resource dedicated to aiding adults, youth and families with before and after school care, summer camp, employment coaching, finance classes and more. Approximately 26 Weekley team members from the company’s Indianapolis team volunteered 246 hours to transform and rebuild the facility’s Resource Center. This project provided a new space for clients to have access to computers, telephone and fax services, the internet and copy machines. This renovated area will give clients the opportunity to search for jobs, work on projects and create resumes. “It’s so great to see what a difference a day can make and how many lives can be impacted in such a short time,” said Kim Cantou, a sales consultant with David Weekley Homes.

The project was an initiative of the company’s CARE program, which is a charitable and volunteer program that partners team members, homeowners, homebuyers and community partners with nonprofits to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone it touches and in all the communities it builds through its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives. This is accomplished by company team members volunteering countless hours to different organizations in their communities and by The David Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $200 million to a variety of organizations through the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.

A LOOK AT SHARK ENCOUNTERS

SHARK!

Craig Capehart scuba dives, one of his favorite hobbies.

Carmel videographer’s ‘terrifying’ footage to air on National Geographic By Maria Cook • news@currentincarmel.com

Craig Capehart caught the scariest moment of his life on camera. The Carmel resident was in an underwater shark cage near Guadalupe Island off the coast of COVER STORY Mexico when a great white shark approached. Without warning, it charged, forcing most of its upper body through a gap in the cage bars. The shark thrashes, attempting to free itself, before eventually succeeding and swimming away. “It’s a big animal, and there’s four of us in the cage,” Capehart said. “What could we do? All I could think was that if it gets completely into the cage, I was going to die. It would have knocked the regulators out of our mouths. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was really terrifying. It’s the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me.” The moments Capehart captured were so compelling that National Geographic reached out to him and bought the footage. “As soon as I saw the footage, I knew I wanted it in the

show. First of all, the quality is outstanding. User-generated footage isn’t always great quality, but this footage is HD, the water is clear and the camera is relatively steady, given what’s happening,” said Casey D’Ambra, a producer for National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo WILD. “Also, the video captures a once-in-a-lifetime event. Luckily, no humans or animals were injured, and we get an up-close view of a creature that few people have the privilege to see.” The footage aired in May on an episode of “Eyewitness Shark Attack” and will be included as part of Nat Geo WILD’s “SHARKFEST” at 9 p.m. July 29. Capehart, 67, has always been passionate about travel. As a child, he journeyed with his parents to various destinations outside the U.S. His career, which included jobs in international business, finance and law, necessitated a good deal of travel around the globe. It wasn’t until Capehart retired, however, that he learned to scuba dive because he wanted to explore coral reefs. He began filming his experiences on inexpensive cameras. In time, his abilities improved, as did his technology. “I started diving at the same time GoPros (high-tech video cameras) came out, and at that time, they didn’t make them waterproof,” Capehart said. “I wasn’t going to spend thousands of dollars on expensive equipment. It was just by chance that as I improved, GoPro improved, and pretty soon I’m making pretty nice videos.” Capehart has captured photo and video footage of animals in their natural habitats all around the world and sold his work to various outlets. Some of his videos, such as one featuring a manta ray patting his head, are whimsical. Others, such as the footage he captured of humpback whales

To cage dive with sharks, participants need to be comfortable with scuba diving and own diving gear. The cage is usually supplied by a wildlife encounter company. These companies are popular with ocean tourists. Once divers enter the cage, they are lowered to a depth usually between 6 to 30 feet. In many cases, sharks are lured near the cage with chum — a mix of fish blood, oils and meat.

How safe are the cages?

Shark cages are quite sturdy, usually made from stainless steel to withstand the force of sharks ramming into or biting them. Gaps between the bars are too small for large sharks to pass through. Some cages also are draped in protective mesh.

Why do sharks sometimes behave erratically?

Cage diving is usually safe. However, as Craig Capehart’s footage shows, sharks are wild animals and can behave unpredictably. A “feeding frenzy” occurs when one or more sharks become overly excited by the scent of surrounding food. Frenzied sharks may attack one another or anything nearby — including cages. However, sharks are almost never able to penetrate the cages, which is what makes Capehart’s footage unique. Sources: National Geographic, HowStuffWorks.com and sharkwatchsa.com.

Capehart has shot wildlife footage from the Galapagos Islands to the North Pole and has developed a following on his YouTube channel, which has thousands of subscribers and approximately 100 videos. Despite his adventures, Capehart said his life has never been more simple than it is now. “I have three major life activities,” Capehart said. “I go scuba diving, I go to the opera and I (make plans) to go scuba diving and to the opera.”

ESSAY New language

LETTER End modern slavery

Commentary by Terry Anker Some among us are blessed to have mastered two or more languages. Those lucky ones start, as do we all, with a native tongue but they build from there. It could be the result of desire to travel, learn or even communicate, directly and simply. It could be the result of required academic or professional proficiency. Or, it could be the result of the physical limitations of geography where our latitude and longitude require more of us to survive and flourish daily. The level of education, wealth or aptitude have little bearing on those who develop the skill. In the rows of gold-corded honors graduates, none would be without a second or third language on their resumes. Still, in tourist markets from Istanbul to Beijing to Mexico City to Manhattan, peddlers call out in nearly as many languages as there are faces in the crowd, eager to catch the attention of would-be customers in their own tongue. They study pop culture, food and other non-verbal peculiarities to better use the acquired vernacular. It seems that words alone are not complete. In fact, many communicate without words. Symbols, logos and pantomime are used as ample expression. Culture itself can stand without voice, and information technology has developed and nourished countless other “languages,” all designed for increasing efficiency. Each word finds an equal yet entirely different counterpart, and they do improve our ability to connect with each other. But, are we on a path to rebuild the Tower of Babel? Or, are we rightly seeking to regain the bond between all humans lost as we scattered the earth? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Apology for appalling bug Commentary by Danielle Wilson I committed the cardinal sin of motherhood the other day by becoming sick. I know! How could I have possibly been so selfish, so uncaring, so clearly unconcerned HUMOR with the needs of my husband and children? And I didn’t even give anyone a heads-up. On Tuesday I was fine, and then on Wednesday, I was down for the count. My apologies, family. I think I had typhoid fever. That may sound melodramatic, but I had just taken my first dose of the live vaccine (headed to Southeast Asia in a few weeks; hopefully, plenty of exotic tales forthcoming!), and in rare cases, one can experience symptoms. For me, it was nausea, fatigue, headache and intense stomach cramps. At my lowest point, I was dry-heaving in my oldest son’s disgusting toilet, and then crawling my way back upstairs to bed, only to writhe in pain every time my intestines seized. By the second day of my inconsiderate

illness, I was able to remain downstairs on the couch. My kids would stare at me and inquire as to my “condition,” then promptly ask if I had gone to the grocery or what was for dinner. When I merely glared back, pale and weak, their general response was one of exasperation and a “Jeeze, mom, you picked a terrible time to catch a bug, I’m hungry!” expression. Doo wasn’t much better. Sure, I got the requisite spousal “there, there’s,” but no true sympathy. The prevalent atmosphere at Chez Wilson was definitely, “Could you please hurry up and get better? We have a summer to enjoy!” My apologies, family, for succumbing to typhoid. It won’t happen again. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

— Ernest Hemingway

Editor, Everyone deserves to be free, but more than 40 million people are trapped in slavery today. On June 20, the U.S. State Dept. released the 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report. The TIP Report sheds light on this hidden crime and ranks 187 nations, including the U.S., on their efforts to combat it. As Gary Haugen, CEO of International Justice Mission, says, “Nothing happens just because we are aware of modern-day slavery, but nothing will ever happen until we are.” With the truth out there for all to see, we can no longer look away. Our members of Congress have the chance to rise above the partisan bickering of the day and recommit themselves to protecting the integrity of the TIP Report and the American-led programs that help rescue slaves and put their perpetrators behind bars. We’re counting on you, lawmakers, to use your voice and tip the scales toward justice. If we can summon sufficient political courage, we can end slavery in our lifetime. Andrea Pulice, Westfield

If we can summon sufficient political courage, we can end slavery in our lifetime.

For Father’s Day, my son bought me one of those watches that tracks your daily steps, monitors your heartbeat HUMOR and I think it can tell you the correct time, but I haven’t gotten that far in the directions. In order for it to record steps, your arms have to swing back and forth. I spent half an hour in Kroger the other day pushing my cart, but it showed I had not taken a single step because my hands were grasping the cart’s handle. I was so frustrated, I just started flapping my arms like a bird. The manager must have assumed I didn’t speak English because he led me over to the roasted chickens. A story in Prevention magazine said that the idea of 10,000 steps per day, the conventional goal often cited as a guideline, has no scientific basis. Apparently, someone just made this number up. It’s probably the same guy who made up eight glasses of water a day and eight hours of sleep. I have always questioned the three-meals-a-day concept, so I’ve gone to five, which at least involves moving my right arm a lot more. When I looked at my watch this morning, I had walked 1,267 steps while I was asleep. The cookie jar was empty and someone had mowed the lawn in the middle of the night. Two Ambien before bed might be one more than I need. Personally, I think I get plenty of walking in each day. Here are a few examples from just this past week: • I walked to the mailbox to get the cheesecake I ordered from a NY deli. • I walked from the living room where I was taking a nap to the bedroom to get a good night’s sleep. • I walked from the pro shop to my golf cart. • I walked into the garage several times to get in my car. I plan to walk to my office every day. It’s not my fault I work out of my house, but it’s at least taking steps in the right direction. Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker.

Cake Bake Shop now open By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Carmel’s City Center gained a twinkling, tasty new addition July 1. Gwendolyn Rogers, owner of Broad Ripple’s NEW BIZ award-winning Cake Bake Shop, has opened a new location in Carmel. The Cake Bake Shop is known for its elaborate decor, sophisticated atmosphere and unique baked goods. From its mint chocolate chip cake, which was featured in O Magazine in April 2018, to the shop’s wellknown Earl’s Court Cake, which has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Garth Brooks and Justin Timberlake, Cake Bake Shop has plenty of dessert offerings. Cake Bake Shop also features a full range of savory offerings, such as soups, salads and larger entrees, like roasted salmon and a classic burger. The new location features bright white décor and is modeled to look like a house. In the evening, the restaurant’s twinkling lights and illuminated window display — which features a life-sized, animatronic unicorn and crystal chandelier in the shape of a hot air balloon — are difficult to miss.

At 3,600 square feet, the Carmel restaurant is much larger than the 1,900-square-foot Broad Ripple location. However, according to Rogers, the eatery’s cottage-like feel has been maintained. There’s even a porch swing for customers. “It is incredible to finally open the doors to all the wonderful guests that have come so far,” Rogers said. “My favorite part is sharing the unicorn that is in my display window with all the children that have come by and seeing the ladies sitting on the porch swing.”

Juniper on Main coming soon By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

Those who routinely pass through Carmel’s Arts & Design District have likely noticed some changes RESTAURANT to the building at 110 East Main St., formerly the home of Kendall Law Office. Situated between Woody’s Library Restaurant and Greek’s Pizzeria, the building now sports a large wooden pergola and outdoor dining patio. On July 16, it will open as Juniper on Main, a restaurant serving southern coastal fare. According to co-owner Diane Cannon and Executive Chef Christine Daniel, the restaurant was inspired by a popular restaurant in Savanna, Ga., which Daniel used to run. While Hoosiers might not be familiar with southern coastal or lowcountry cuisine, Daniel and Cannon are confident Carmel diners will be hooked once they give it a try. “Lowcountry cuisine is based off of that area, right along the coast, in Charleston, Savannah and all the little out-islands, all the way down to the northern part of Florida,” Daniel said. “There’s a lot of seafood,

of course. Rice is a staple down there, and there’s also the other southern influences.” Some dishes Daniel is particularly excited to debut include her two varieties of shrimp and grits and Savannah crab stew. For Cannon, who co-owns Juniper on Main with her husband, Kevin Keltner, much of the restaurant’s charm comes from the historic space it occupies. The building was built in 1898 and is owned by Keltner’s parents.

Glasses are just glasses, right? Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano

Similar to automobile tires, eyeglasses neither are made nor perform the same ways. Sure, you can put four VISION round blobs of rubber on the rims of your car and go. But if it’s raining at night, do you really trust the cheapo “donut tires” or would you feel more comfortable having invested in a 50,000mile, all-weather, super-tread tire for your family’s well-being? Just like tires, there are hundreds of variables and thousands of options to choose from with respect to eyeglass lenses. So, where do you begin? There are two basic ways to fabricate prescription glasses: digitally surfacing or hand grinding. Most glasses are handground quickly, efficiently and economically. There is nothing wrong with this method of lens production, and more than 90 percent of all lenses are made this way. It allows the consumer to have glasses “in about an hour” and/or to have significantly reduced pricing because they are mass produced. Digitally surfaced lenses, however, take

much longer to produce since they are customized to the individual patient’s needs, and the lenses are laser etched. Cost, of course, goes up with customized products, but for those who want the clearest and crispest vision, this is the only way to “see the world.” It’s simple math. With handshaved lenses you can only produce lenses with .25 accuracy. With digital lenses, you can achieve clarity and precision down to 0.01 accuracy. Simply put, you can watch the same movie on VHS or in Hi-Definition on BluRay. Same movie, but the experience is completely different. Do you prefer pictures taken with an iPhone 10x or an original 1.1-megapixel flip phone? We all understand how technology can make things clearer, but most aren’t aware that the technology exists in glasses. How do you want to see the world? Tell your optometrist. Dr. Jeremy A. Ciano, an international lecturer and published author, is a Current Publishing columnist. For more information or to ask a question, he may be emailed at DrCiano@Revolution-EYES.com.

Songbook Academy features CHS flavor with four students By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Griffin Scott knew right away it was a Songbook Academy experience he wanted to repeat. MUSIC Scott, who will be a Carmel High School junior in August, was selected for the summer intensive for the second consecutive year. “The people you work with I loved so much, whether they are from LA or New York because you kind of get both sides, the Broadway and more commercial music side,” Scott said. “I love getting the feel for both of those.” Students still in high school or recent graduates who didn’t make the top 10 last year are eligible to return. Scott is the only returnee in a Carmel High School group that includes 2019 graduates Morgan Koontz and Sydney Greene and Jack Ducat, who will be a junior. They are four of 40 students from across the U.S. participating in the seven-day summer music intensive that runs July 13 through 20 at the Great American Songbook Foundation’s headquarters in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. It culminates in a July 20 performance at the Palladium, where the Songbook Ambassador is named. Scott will sing “The Nearness of You” and “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head.” “I made sure I picked two contrasting songs because last year I didn’t,” he said. Scott and the other three were members of CHS Ambassadors, a mixed show choir, in 2018-19. Koontz and Greene were three-year Ambassadors. Koontz plans to major in commercial music with an emphasis in songwriting at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. “As long as I’m able to be creative and do what I love, then I’ll be happy,” Koontz said. “I really like soulful pop, R&B, but I like all music.” Koontz participated in Christian Youth Theater when she was younger and performed in “Phantom of the Opera” at CHS. But she primarily chose to sing on her own rather than participate in musicals as

she got older. “I enjoy being creative in my own way and not in the way of taking directions where to stand,” she said. “I love the art of theater, but that’s not something I’m as drawn to because I like being more original and independent.” Koontz plans to sing “A Sunday Kind of Love” and “Accentuate the Positive.” “I’m excited to be able to gain experience from being around Grammy Award winners and (Great American Songbook Foundation founder) Michael Feinstein and just growing in my craft,” Koontz said. Greene, who will attend Ball State University to major in musical theater, said participating in the Songbook Academy will be a good way to cap high school before attending college. “I’ve actually watched the competition for years, and everybody in the top 40 gets a chance to perform during the week,” Greene said. “It’s a lot less about the competition and more about the experience of the master classes.” Greene plans to sing “The Trolley Song” from “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.”

Greene said she expects the individual training students receive from the mentors will be the most valuable. “You have to be vulnerable and open to new ideas and just put yourself out there,” she said. “Getting that one-on-one with so many mentors will be beneficial, especially going into college for music. Having this extra training will help.” Ducat has watched friends participate in the Songbook competition. “This is something I’ve always dreamed about doing,” Ducat said. “I thought if I ever got a chance it would be when I was older. To come in while still young in my high school career is just great. I have so much more time to hone my skills before college. I love the music of the Songbook era. I want to go into musical theater as a career, and musical theater features so many things from the Songbook era. The way to sing and interpret the Songbook will be great going into that kind of career.” Ducat plans to sing “Darn that Dream” and “Tonight at Eight.” For information on Songbook Academy performances, visit thecenterpresents.org.

This role fits into Tim Latimer’s background quite nicely. Latimer, a retired Hamilton MUSICAL Southeastern Junior High School history teacher, is playing Captain Charles McVay III in the Carmel Community Players’ production of “Failure to Zig Zag: The Story of the USS Indianapolis.” He taught eighth-grade history for 32 years. Latimer “Rarely does a play come along where it’s based on fact,” said Latimer, an Indianapolis resident. “As a history teacher, this is right up my alley.” McVay’s ship was sunk by a Japanese submarine after delivering components for the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. “There aren’t many roles for a guy in my age group,” Latimer said. “I’m supposed to be a guy that is like 48, so I’m past that.” Carmel Community Players will present the play July 19 to 28 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

Latimer said he knew a little about the history of the USS Indianapolis, which was sunk July, 30, 1945 in the Philippine Sea. Of the 1,195 men on the ship, approximately 300 died in the attack. The remaining 890 survived the initial sinking, but only 316 survived a four-day ordeal in shark-infested water. The other fatalities were the result of shark attacks, exposure, dehydration and saltwater poisoning. The 879 fatalities were the single-greatest loss of life in U.S. Navy history. McVay was court-martialed and found responsible for his failure to zig zag to avoid torpedoes. He committed suicide in 1968,

but was later exonerated after support by USS Indianapolis survivors. Dr. Ron Gotanco, a Carmel resident, is playing Japanese Imperial Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mochitsura Hashimoto, who commanded the submarine and ordered the attack. He later testified Gotanco on McVay’s behalf, arguing that visibility was only fair and zig zagging likely wouldn’t have prevented the attack. Gotanco said he researched his character to find his motivation. “Hashimoto was the son of a Shinto priest,” Gotanco said. “I think he was drawn between the two worlds of being a pacifist and wanting to serve his country.” Hashimoto continued to help all efforts to exonerate McVay. Five days after Hashimoto died at age 90 in 2000, President Bill Clinton signed a congressional resolution exonerating McVay. Ron May, a Carmel resident who is chaplain of Hoosier Village in Zionsville, is cast as the prosecutor. “It’s a great story of inspiration and perseverance by the survivors,” May said.

Community helps with fine art By Laura Anderson editorial@youarecurrent.com

Last year, hundreds of people gathered in downtown Carmel to create a four-paneled mosaic of a roundabout. ART PROJECT Today, that mosaic hangs prominently in the corridor at Sophia Square by Vitality Bowls. Now, Carmel is gearing up for its second community mosaic project. It is headed by Carmel resident Nancy Keating, an experienced glass mosaic artist. She studied at the Institute of Mosaic Art in California. Her dazzling, intricate pieces can be found inside Art On Main, 111 W. Main St, Suite 140. “I do fine art and fun art,” Keating said. She also makes fine art fun to learn. For example, did you know that hammers are not used in the process of breaking glass? To learn more interesting facts about mosaics, residents can join Keating for the second half of the community project. The collective mosaic-making will continue July 13 as a part of Meet Me on Main, held every second Saturday evening in Carmel’s Arts & Design District. Interested commu-

nity members can meet at the Sub-Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream shop, 111 W. Main St., Suite 130, and be ready to chip in from 4 to 9 p.m. The first part was started June 8. Families can add their own pieces. The mosaic project is a cityscape of Carmel. It includes the Arts & Design District, the Palladium, the fire station and Midtown. Keating said once a piece is placed into the mosaic, “It sticks. It’s not moving.” For more about Keating’s work and classes, visit mosaicsgarden.com.

Red Barn presents classic musical comedy By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This role perfectly suits Jordan Flora. The Ball State student plays Domina in “A Funny Thing Happened PLAY on the Way to the Forum” at Red Barn Summer Theatre in Frankfort. “It is a very enjoyable role because it is a character that is very much in my wheelhouse,” said Flora, who is from Frankfort and is performing with Red Barn for the sixth season. “She has a very strong, bold personality, and those are my favorite types of roles to play.” The performances will be July 11 to 14 and July 16 to 21. The shows are set for 8 p.m., except for Sunday matinees, which are at 2 p.m. “It is a very funny show and we have a very funny cast, a cast of comedians, which I think the show needs,” said Michael Taylor, who is directing the musical. The production, which debuted on Broadway in 1962, is inspired by the farces of ancient Roman Plautus. The music and lyrics

are by Stephen Sondheim. It is Red Barn artistic director Taylor’s first time working on this musical. “Of Stephen Sondheim shows, this is definitely one of my favorites. I’ve always enjoyed this one and ‘Sweeney Todd,” Taylor said. “It’s a bigger cast (16) for the Barn, but not the biggest that we have had out there. One of the biggest challenges of the show is the set having Flora the three full houses on stage, so this year we plan to actually build two houses that extend into the audience.” Taylor said the audience should experience “a night of silliness, catchy tunes and lots of laughter.” Taylor had to conduct rehearsals for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” while directing “A Thousand Clowns,” which was scheduled to end its run July 7. Ticket are $14 for students and $20 for adults. There will be a special family night July 16. For more, call the box office at 765659-1657 or visit redbirdtheatre.net.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 4907 N. College Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Negiyaki Price: $13 Anna’s take: Well, folks, I’ve saved the best At the Table with Anna column for last. This week will be my last food review, but food reviews will continue with Current, so keep an eye out for those. Ukiyo utilizes seasonal produce and fish in its dishes, and

the small-plates menu changes frequently. I sampled several small plates, but my absolute favorite was the Negiyaki, a savory leek-and-onion pancake topped with ginger miso sauce, a sunny egg and katsuobushi, which is dried, fermented and smoked tuna. Don’t knock it until you try it. I also tried the sudachi marinated cucumbers ($8), the daily tsukemono ($5), which is a mix of pickles and fermented vegetables, and several sushi rolls, all of which were phenomenal. For dessert, I tried the hoji-cha milkshake, which is roasted green tea, milk syrup and Graeter’s ice cream for $5. Suggested pairings: Any sake will do, but I also tried one of the bartender’s specialty drinks, the Jammy Dodger. Opt for a sparkling sake to start.

Behind bars: The Cherry Blossom Get it at The Lemon Bar, Zionsville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Eighth Day Distillery Gin, .5 oz. rose and vanilla red tea infused vermouth, .5 oz. fresh lemon juice, .5 oz.

If you have ever experienced an interior remodel or created an outdoor living space, you will appreciate the BEYOND THE concept of getting your BACKDOOR new space “dialed in.” Of course, a newly remodeled bathroom is stylish and a freshly installed patio is very livable, but they can lack personality until final touches are employed. Both featured projects speak clearly to the “dialed in” concept. Let’s explore! EXTERIOR Textiles make a dramatic impact outside. Think pillows, rugs, umbrellas and other soft goods. Of course, general color pallets are readily available at the big box retailers.

INTERIOR Perhaps the boldest statement for interior “dialing in” is art. A few curated pieces coordinated with drapes, pillows and soft goods will set the stage for success. Rely on an interior designer when you are able and watch your new space completely amaze yourself and guests. We have enjoyed partnering with Thomas & Jayne Interior Design here in the Indiana Design Center. RETROFIT Is your existing space a little tired and could use a refresh? New patios, kitchen counters and bathroom vanities certainly make a huge difference, but maybe it could be as simple as dialing in your space again!

The Palace and the princess Commentary by Don Knebel The City Palace of Udaipur is the largest palace in Rajasthan, an Indian state named for its rajas (kings). The palace was the site of a tragedy involving a beautiful TRAVEL princess and a cup of poison. Maharana (or Maharaja) Udai Singh II, a Hindu ruler in northwest India, decided to move the capital of his empire to a site more resistant to Mughal attacks. In 1553, he began building a granite and marble palace and administrative center on a ridge above Lake Pichola, created in 1362 to provide water for area residents. During the next 400 years, 21 succeeding maharanas of the Mewar Dynasty continued building on the site, named Udaipur after its founder, eventually creating a complex of 11 palaces encompassing 5 acres.
