Swim coach arrested for child exploitation, pornography news@currentincarmel.com John Goelz, 29, an assistant swim coach at Carmel High School, was arrested July 3 for allegedly having a sexual CRIME relationship with a student. U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler announced July 5 that Goelz, of Carmel, faces federal charges for his alleged sexual involvement with one of his athletes. Charges include sexual exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography. Goelz remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. A detention hearing is set for July 10 in Federal Court in Indianapolis. On June 29, law enforcement officials learned that Goelz may be involved in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a female athlete that he coached at the Carmel Swim Club and the Carmel High School swim team. Agents and officers were able to capture screenshots of text messages exchanged between Goelz and the minor victim. The messages indicated there was a sexual relationship between the two dating back to February. A search warrant was secured for Goelz’s residence and his personal cell phone. Further investigation revealed that Goelz and the minor victim were involved in a sexual relationship, which included having sex at public parks in Hamilton County, Goelz’s residence and a hotel in Anderson. The investigation further revealed that Goelz filmed the sexual activity with the minor victim at the hotel in Anderson using his cellphone, and a video file depicting the sexual activity was found on his cellphone. The case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force. Goelz could face a minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted. If members of the public have further information regarding the case, they are encouraged to contact the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force at 317-595-3361.

City works to quiet ice rink, building chiller after complaints By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel officials are hoping a piece of equipment meant to cool buildings and an outdoor ice rink doesn’t CITY NEWS land anyone in hot water. The city paid $238,000 to place a chiller on top of a brick structure between a parking garage and the Mezz 42 apartments, which is along 3rd Ave SW south of City Center Drive. Installation took place before The Ice at Center Green opened for its inaugural season in November 2017, but the chiller is used year-round because it also helps cool several nearby buildings, including The Palladium, police station and City Hall. The chiller may be hard to see, but it’s made its presence known through sound. And many people who live and work nearby aren’t happy. “Before the chiller went in, we could open up our windows without hearing the whine,” said Jennifer Mitchell, who lives in the Mezz 42 apartments on the opposite side of the building from the chiller. “In the wintertime it’s not even white noise because it’s too high-pitched.” The Carmel Redevelopment Commission spent approximately $30,000 in May to install a wrap to reduce the noise, which led to a two-thirds reduction in noise level, according to professionals who worked on the project. They also said the wrap has reduced the noise level to near where the city expected it to be when the chiller was installed. People who live and work in the building said they’ve noticed a difference since the wrap was added. But it’s still a problem for residents, Mitchell said. At least one resident moved to another apartment complex because of the noise, Mitchell said, and she knows of another using earplugs at night to block it out until her lease is up. Mitchell said she is looking to move when her lease expires in October, with the noisy chiller a major factor in her decision. She also said that one apartment near the chiller, which became vacant shortly before it was installed, has remained unoccupied. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard confirmed that Anderson Birkla, which owns the building, has had trouble finding tenants because of the noise. “We’ve talked with experts who say they

can rebuild it so it virtually puts out no noise,” he said. Brainard said the city has been aware of the noise issue since the chiller was installed and that it is part of a larger problem that dates back to the installation of the city’s nearby energy center. The city built the energy center several years ago to cool The Palladium and other buildings, but a faulty design led to it not being able to adequately do its job, he said. For three years the city had been renting additional equipment at an estimated cost of $40,000 to $45,000 per year to help cool affected buildings. The chiller was intended to cool the ice rink on warm winter days and handle the load that the energy center wasn’t meeting in the summer, thus removing the need for rented equipment. Brainard said the city has hired legal counsel and prepared a lawsuit against the designers of the energy center. The two sides are in settlement discussions, he said, and they have a tolling agreement so the city can still sue when the statute of limitations is passed if a resolution is not reached by then. The city also is working with Anderson Birkla to remedy the situation. An official from Anderson Birkla did not return a call for comment as of press time.
INSTALLATION ISSUES Even before it was activated, the chiller caused problems for the City of Carmel. The crew installing the chiller accidentally bent part of it during installation. “They were concerned it wouldn’t work and might have to get another one, but they were able to get the original one in,” Mayor Jim Brainard said, adding that the mishap had nothing to do with the chiller’s loud sound.

Ex-ASC boss sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison for fraud news@currentincarmel.com
The former CEO of American Senior Communities was sentenced to 9 1/2 years in prison June 29 for his role in a fraud, kickback and money laundering conspiracy. COURTS James Burkhart, 53, of Carmel pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to violate the health care anti-kickback statute and money laundering, all federal felony offenses. Prosecutors said he and his co-conspirators funneled nearly $19.4 million in fraud and kickbacks to themselves through shell companies over nearly six years. Most of the money they stole came from the Health
& Hospital Corp. of Marion County, they said. Burkhart used his position as ASC’s CEO to cut secret side deals with more than a dozen of ASC’s vendors, prosecutors said, sometimes asking them to inflate their bills or submitting false bills for services not provided. Burkhart used the stolen funds to buy lakefront property on Lake Wawasee, take golf vacations, visit Las Vegas, make political contributions, purchase gold bars and more. The gold bars and coins and other assets seized from Burkhart will be criminally forfeited, and Burkhart must pay full restitution and serve three years of supervised release following his sentence.
“This defendant was paid a large salary and viewed as an industry leader, but he chose to abuse his power and position out of pure greed,” Grant Mendenhall, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis Division, stated in a press release. “The FBI works diligently with partner agencies to uncover and investigate corporate executives who enrich themselves through kickbacks and theft. We applaud the concerned citizen who brought this fraud to our attention, and we encourage anyone else who wants to bring these types of fraudulent behavior to light to contact us.” ASC manages approximately 70 senior care facilities throughout the state.

Pastor to retire By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Rev. George Ferch figured it was time to turn over the leadership at Bethlehem Lutheran. FAITH “I turned 70 in March, so probably two years ago I told the congregation (about retiring),” Ferch said. “We’ve been planning ahead for this.” Ferch, who lives in Carmel with his wife, Nannette, has been the pastor for 21 years at the Carmel church at 1481 W. Main St. Bethlehem Lutheran is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Ferch retired from full-time ministry June 30. Rev. Seth Bode was installed as pastor June 3. “We’re going to stay here and stay members of Bethlehem,” Ferch said. “I’ll do some fill-in preaching. I’m serving a congregation in Kokomo (Peace) that doesn’t have a pastor right now, so I’ll be doing that for awhile.” Ferch has watched Bethlehem Lutheran grow and expand. In October 2015, the congregation dedicated an expanded worship facility and remodeled its original building into classrooms for the church and its preschool. “When we got here all they had was land,

and they had probably about 50 members,” Ferch said. “We’ve been able to build two buildings, and the church has grown to about 200 people. The Lord has been good to us over those years.” Nannette retired as the preschool director in 2017. She now works with two other women as part-time assistants in the preschool. Ferch helped Bode through the transition at the church. Bode, a 2011 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, has five years of experience as parish pastor and two years as a police chaplain. He comes to Carmel from his role as lead pastor at Christ Alone Lutheran Church in Dardenne Prairie, Mo.

Meet the CPD K-9s who work to keep Carmel safe By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com One of the most versatile tools the Carmel Police Dept. has is its team of drug-sniffing, bomb-detecting, suspectchasing K-9s. COVER STORY Last year, the K-9 unit responded to 3,071 calls for service, helped conduct 143 arrests and initiated or assisted in 1,466 traffic stops. CPD has three K-9s: Axl, Bailey and LoLo. They are partnered with officer handlers Katherine Malloy, Brian Schmidt and Chad Wiegman, respectively. Wazir, a 10 1/2-year-old Czech shepard trained in narcotics detection and apprehension, retired from service June 15. Dressed in a purple tie, he was served a dog-friendly retirement cake during his ceremony. Wazir served with CPD for eight years, the typical work span for a K-9, and began his work with CPD Sgt. Dave Kinyon before transitioning to work with Sgt. Ben Fisher in 2012. “It’s been amazing being at the other end of that leash,” Fisher said. Fisher said Wazir’s retirement will be difficult because Wazir is being taken away Fisher from what he loves and lives to do. “I will miss seeing him be a police dog and doing what police dogs do. He is an amazing police officer,” he said. Fisher said the bond between them is indescribable. “He is such a loyal companion that all he wants to do is keep me safe and happy,” he said. “Wazir knows no fear and is willing to do anything that I ask of him.” Fisher is confident Wazir will be able to transition smoothly to full-time home life. Wazir will continue to live with Fisher and his wife, Kari, and their three young daughters, Tia, Keyahna and Sabreena and their three dogs, who each weigh less than 10 pounds. “The most difficult thing will be when I put on the uniform and leave to go to work,” Fisher said. “I am sure that will leave him a bit anxious.”
Meet the CPD K-9s Axl Age: 3 Breed: Belgian malinois Country or origin: Poland Command language: Dutch Handler: Officer Katherine Malloy
‘Hours and hours of training’
All of the CPD K-9s were trained at Vohne Liche Kennels, a military service and police dog training facility in Denver, Ind. The facility has trained more than 5,000 dogs for law enforcement and government agencies, including the National Security Agency and the U.S. Army. “It looks like a simple task when a dog locates and responds to a narcotic, explosive or human odor, but that ‘simple’ behavior is the result of hours and hours of training,” Malloy said. Wiegman, who handles 6-year-old Belgian malinois, LoLo, said the federal government spent nearly $19 billion between 2004 and 2010 to develop bomb-detecting tools before it scrapped the idea and realized the best bomb detector is still a dog’s nose. LoLo is a dual-purpose K-9 trained in detection, apprehension and tracking, with a specialty in detecting explosives. “There is no better tool in locating illegal drugs or explosives,” Wiegman said.
Joining the force
Last year, CPD welcomed two new dogs to the K-9 department, Axl and Bailey. Axl is a Belgian malinois trained in tracking, apprehension and narcotics detection. Axl’s handler, Malloy, also has a miniature pinscher named Norman and retired CPD K-9, Kasey, at home. “Our K-9s are with us almost every hour of every day. Since they live and work with us, officers spend more time with the dog than they do anyone else,” Malloy said. “This creates a strong bond between the dog and their handler.” Malloy said K-9s would give up their lives to protect their handlers. She said it’s important for the public to know that although the dogs are social, they are still working dogs and shouldn’t be approached like regular pets. “K-9s are trained to protect their handlers and will react if they believe there is a perceived threat,” Malloy said. “What someone might think is a simple handshake, a K-9 might interpret as an effort to harm their handler.”
Bailey Age: 4 Breed: Labrador retriever Country of origin: Slovakia Command language: Dutch and English Handler: Officer Brian Schmidt
LoLo Age: 6 Breed: Belgian malinois Country of origin: Holland Command language: Dutch Handler: Officer Chad Wiegman

Schmidt’s partner is Bailey, a 4-year-old labrador singlepurpose dog from Slovakia that detects narcotics, does article or evidence searches and tracks lost or endangered persons and suspects. “When the uniform goes on they know it’s time to go,” Schmidt said. According to Schmidt, one of the many rewards of having a K-9 partner are the love, dedication and trust the K-9 shows its handler. “I think anytime you start putting your trust into a dog, with not only your life, but the life of citizens and other officers, that bond becomes very strong,” Schmidt said. “That, along with the unconditional love shared with the animal, the trust built during time spent training and while on patrol only strengthens the bond. I spend as much time with that dog, and maybe more, than I do with my own family.” All of the dogs train for 16 hours each month, are fueled by Blue Buffalo dog food and love tennis balls. CPD wants to introduce a new K-9 to the department this fall. The cost for each dog ranges from $9,500 to $18,000.

Security fears
Editor’s note: This column first appeared in Current on June 18, 2013. It is being reprised here. Danielle Wilson’s regular column will resume next week.
Commentary by Terry Anker
Long lines and minor indignities have become a part of the national ethos in the wake of countless incidents of terrorism here and abroad. We queue for sporting events, airplanes and government buildings. For the most part, the transaction is handled comfortably with as little inconvenience as possible. Still, some express frustration at the bureaucracy and expense required to administer. It seems the only thing more troubling than airport security may be airport insecurity. Our fear leads us to invest tremendously in our protection. In some primordial fashion, it has kept us alive. We, the successful progenitors of humanity, have learned to approach risk with utmost caution. Our more reckless cousins showed us the way at their own demise. Still, if possessed by anxiety of the perils of the world around us, do we give up too much? Can our desire to keep ourselves safe actually bring us risk in another way? If we fear growth, we are protected from its jeopardies but stunted in our development. Do our personal insecurities trick us into believing that they are protecting, all the while secretly holding us back? Secure or insecure, no one succeeds lifelong without continuing maturity and improvement. Does framing our challenges as a matter of security or insecurity distract us from the important objectives at hand? At this point, is how we feel about our insecurities as important as meeting our best capacity? Sure, we have come to rely on natural tendencies toward insecurity to keep us safe. But, do we hide behind them to our own debilitation? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Ah, young love. And when I say “young,” I mean “middle school.” We’ve had a year full of said love in our household. Let’s start with my soon-to-be freshman, HUMOR heretofore known as Doolittle. (This alias is hilariously clever see, because I refer to my husband as Doo. So laugh!). We actually had no idea Doolittle had a girlfriend (his first) until the lovebirds had broken up. Our sixth-grade twins, who serve as our unpaid informants, let it spill during carpool one day. Apparently, they had enjoyed a whole month of couple status before our son felt it was time to move on. “She” was devastated, according to Mole No. 1. When I asked about her, Doolittle became defensive and said he didn’t want to talk about it. Ooo-kay. Whatever. But that didn’t stop me from locating the ex at one of the school’s athletic events with the help of Mole No. 2. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but she was surprisingly cute and seemingly normal. Way to go, Doolittle! A few weeks later, we learned that he was “dating” another girl, though he vehemently denied it. He did ask to stay late once to attend a volleyball game, which coincidentally “she” played in. “I just want to support my school, Mom. I don’t even know who’s on the team!” Like a good parent, I successfully suppressed the urge to mock him. Sadly, they have also called it quits and Doolittle is currently a free agent.

The Wolfsies are moving to a new house. Finally, time to get rid of almost 40 years of accumulated stuff. HUMOR Mary Ellen had to decide whether to chuck the many books, diaries and letters that were quite worn (as well as a few dozen shoes that had never been worn). I had a dilemma as well. In our basement, stacked to the ceiling, were approximately 300 tapes of me on television over more than four decades, videos that no one will ever look at — even if they did still have a VCR. As tough as it was, I reluctantly trashed every tape, with only a few exceptions. I hope my son will one day watch them. Here are the ones that survived the giant cut — my top 10. In 1979, I interviewed Columbus Zoo Director Jack Hanna (later a frequent celebrity guest on David Letterman’s “Late Show”). It was one of Jack’s first TV appearances and one of mine as well. Jack hung a dozen week-old opossums on my sweater, like he was decorating a Christmas tree. That segment helped me win my first Emmy — and my last (talk about beginner’s luck!). Jack went on to win four Emmys and international fame. I guess it’s better to be the hang-er than the hang-ee. In 1992, I went to Dick the Bruiser’s house at 5 a.m. and pretended to roust him from his sleep. He came to the door in his typical gruff Bruiser mood (only worse), and as I proceeded to deliver forearm smashes to his chest, he quickly turned the tables and banged my head into his Weber Grill, then picked me up and threw me in his swimming pool. Rest in peace, Bruiser. I did a segment with Soupy Sales at a downtown Indy hotel where I pretended I didn’t recognize him as he came out of an elevator. He promptly deposited a cream pie right in my old kisser. The late legendary Hal Fryar (Harlow Hickenlooper) had once been similarly face-plastered by the Three Stooges. We argued for years over who had been bestowed the greater honor. Yikes, I am out of space (or as they say in TV, “out of time”). I’ll be back next week with more.

Firefighters help teach fitness By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Fire Dept. wants to help teach Carmel’s youngest citizens the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to cut KIDS back on medical runs. Firefighters are hoping to launch fitness boot camps at all Carmel Clay Schools elementary campuses. Public Information Officer Lt. Michael McNeely said 63 percent of CFD’s runs are responses to medical emergencies. For the second straight year, firefighters are leading three fitness bootcamps, called Fuel Up to Fire Up, for all students at Cherry Tree Elementary. Program coordinator Lt. Steve Edwards helped come up with the program, which incorporates moves like swat the fly, squats, ski jumping and the Whip/Nae Nae. CFD Public Information Officer Tim Griffin helps lead the classes. “If you can get kids to think of fun and fitness as the same, then they’ll learn to love fitness and it will help them with a lifetime of fitness and wellness,” Griffin said.

sity and health problems when residents are young, they can help prevent those medical runs as the population ages. “For us, it’s the same way we get in the schools (with) fire prevention,” Griffin said. “This is health prevention.” Firefighters are putting together fitness videos that can be used as “brain breaks” in gym classes. As a fitness trainer, Griffin said he associated fun and fitness at a young age, and with the demands of being a firefighter, he said fitness goes hand-in-hand. “We want to help instill that passion into kids,” Griffin said.
Pharmacy discounts — Online pharmacy discount services are relatively new. None of these services accept insurance, but the discounts are so great that they may be a better option anyway. For deep discounts, look into GoodRx, RxPharmacyCoupons.com and BlinkHealth. These are the top three online discount drug programs. Also, call different pharmacies as prices vary widely from store to store.

Although the results are not fully understood, it is believed that the alcohol in the mouthwash kills beneficial microbes that can protect against several health problems.

IBC alum Rust, IBC student Manuel excel at prestigious competition By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It was a memorable competition for two dancers with ties to Carmel-based Indianapolis Ballet Conservatory. Julia Rust, 17, was one of BALLET two silver medalists in the junior female (ages 14-18) division at last month’s USA International Ballet competition in Jackson, Miss. Rust grew up in Noblesville and attended IBC for several years before leaving for The Washington School for Ballet in the summer of 2017. IBC student Alexandra Manuel, 14, Carmel, was among the 32 finalists in the same division. Rust said the best part of the competition was “the performance experience, the exposure to ballet companies and artistic directors and meeting dancers from all over the world.” During the competition, Rust received three job offers. She accepted a contract offer to be a company dancer with Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, starting July 23. “I performed a total of six times prior to the medal ceremony,” Rust said. “I then got to perform an additional two times in the galas. I think each time I danced it was better than the time before. I danced for me and for the joy of sharing my love of Jesus rather than trying to win. By the time I performed in the galas, I felt very free and almost fearless. I went for more pirouettes and more of everything. I had fun.” Rust, who is in the middle of her junior year, said she will be completing her academic education alongside her professional career. Rust was joined by her twin sister Morgan at The Washington School of Ballet. Morgan, who was slowed by a bout of mononucleosis, will likely return to the Washington, D.C., school for the 2018-19 school year. Julia Rust said artistry has been her biggest improvement. “I have been told that I went from dancing like a student to dancing like a profes-

sional, and I can feel the difference,” she said. Rust credits IBC Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall and staff for providing the training to form the foundation she needed to now focus on her artistry. “With solid technique, I can allow my body to sort of not think about every single movement and begin to let the emotion of what I’m feeling take over,” she said. “It’s given me the freedom to dance from my soul.” Manuel said the entire experience was amazing. “I enjoyed being able to take classes with dancers who are already company members and seeing how they do various combinations,” Manuel said. “I also loved seeing friends from other competitions and meeting new people from Japan, Brazil, the Philippines and other places.” Yakovleva-Randall said Manuel making it to the finals was an amazing accomplishment at her age. “Having trained with us since she was just 8 years old, Alexandra’s technique
and strength shows the quality of training at the Indiana Ballet Conservatory,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “Combined with her mental strength and focus, Alexandra was able to present herself with a very high technical and artistic quality.” Manuel will continue her training the next four years at The Royal Ballet School in London, starting this fall. “This year, I feel I’ve made the most progress in my artistry,” Manuel said. “From dancing the role of Sugar Plum in ‘The Nutcracker” to preparing for Jackson, my teachers really help me with developing the character and dancing with more emotion. I owe so much of this to IBC. Every teacher at IBC is so dedicated and committed to making sure we, as students, are receiving the best technique, learning how to be better artists and, in general, just good people who help each other out.” Manuel is attending an intensive program on full scholarship at the School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet.

Cause & Effect a family affair By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This teenage band has a heavy family flavoring. There are seven members of MUSIC the band, including three sets of brothers with their younger sisters. All were homeschooled and six live in the same Carmel neighborhood. The members are Jack, 17, and Jillian Hogan 15; Blake, 16, and Grace Moran, 14; and Jaron, 16, and Kylin Kempson, 15. Josh Lindvall, 18, from Indianapolis, is the group’s seventh member Cause & Effect will perform at the Carmel Farmers Market from 8 to 11:30 a.m. July 14. The boys had their first jam session 2 1/2 years ago. “Later, we added the girls as the vocalists, so we’ve been playing regularly about two years now,” Jack said. “We all love music and are thankful for the talents that God has given us and want to use those.” Lindvall met the others at a homeschool co-op. “We became friends there and learned we all love similar types of music,” Lindvall said. The friends began playing together, with Jack singing vocals. Soon, they realized

their sisters would be great additions. Lindvall plays rhythm guitar. Blake plays bass guitar. Jaron plays lead guitar and Jack plays drums. Jillian is the primary lead on vocals. “I sang at CarmelFest Has Talent a couple years ago and I had someone help me with that,” said Jillian, who finished second twice in the talent show. Kylin plays the piano and keyboards. “We play everything from pop music to classic rock,” Lindvall said. “We have some original songs, written by Jack.” Jack said the songs he’s written are in the alternative rock genre. Jack and Jillian also perform an acoustic set together and will perform in PorchFest Sept. 16.

Miles’ paintings featured By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Crispus Attucks High School art teacher Heather Miles got a confidence boost after displaying and selling ART some paintings in a Starbucks on the IUPUI campus three years ago. “It was right near Attucks, so I went there very often and I knew the manager,” said Miles, who also began selling paintings at Penrod Art Fair. “I sold some things and I thought this might be something. Since then, it’s really taken off and it’s been great.” The Carmel resident, who goes by H. Ward Miles as an artist, is this month’s featured artist at Art On Main Gallery & Gifts, 111 W. Main St., Carmel. She will have a meet-theartist session during the IU Health North Hospital Art of Wine event from 5 to 10 p.m. July 21 at the gallery. Miles has 10 pieces on display this month. Miles, a 1999 Noblesville High School and Indiana University graduate, taught 15 years at Indianapolis Public Schools, including the last 12 at Attucks. She resigned in June to concentrate on being a full-time artist. Miles and her husband, Sam, have two children, Elle Honey, 6, and Roman, 4.

“I like painting for people,” said Miles, who has been one of Art On Main’s artists for three months. “I get a lot of feedback. I have a great relationship with my buyers.” Miles started painting more when her family bought a new house and she wanted to decorate it. “I like a lot of different kinds of art,” she said. “I like print making. I liked photography in college. I like work inspired by street art. I see a lot of that street-art feel in my work, but super abstract and modern.”

Foreigner set to play at Ruoff By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Foreigner’s heyday for hit-making stretched from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. CONCERT Attendance for their concerts, however, is growing each year, saxophonist/rhythm guitar player Tom Gimbel said. “That’s a wonderful thing. It’s really what you hope for,” said Gimbel, who joined the band in 1995. “It’s incredible to see after all these years. People are not just reliving memories but creating new memories. We have a lot of younger people discovering this stuff.” Foreigner is joined by Whitesnake and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening on the Juke Box Heroes Tour, which stops at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville at 7:30 p.m. July 13. “Mick Jones, our leader and founder, and (Whitesnake’s) David Coverdale go way back to the old English school of rock,” Gimbel said. “Our drummer, Chris Frazier, was actually in Whitesnake for a while. Everyone kind of knows everyone at this point. There is a great feeling of brotherhood out there.

We’ve dedicated our life to music. We’re all lifers.” One of Gimbel’s favorite parts of the show is playing “Urgent” because he gets to play the saxophone. “It’s a good dance song,” Gimbel said. “I like to feed off the energy if I see people moving and swaying. It definitely fires you up.” Gimbel was a touring member of Aerosmith from 1989 to 1995. For more, visit livenation.com.
Herstein captures win By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A confident 7-year-old, Julia Herstein surprised even herself. Herstein, who will TALENT SHOW be a second-grader at Carmel’s Forest Dale Elementary next month, won the new instrumental/ensemble division in the July 4 CarmelFest Has Talent at the Gazebo Stage. She was the youngest competitor in the division, with the next closest one 11 years old. “I thought maybe I’d get third or second but I won’t get first. But I did get first,” said Herstein, who performed a classical contemporary piece on the piano. Sydney Greene and Jenna MacNulty, who will be Carmel High School seniors next month, placed second in the new category. “I think it added more to CarmelFest because it wasn’t just people singing, there were instruments and pianists,” Greene said. MacNulty agreed. “It’s a lot more different acts, so there is more variety in the show rather than just solo singing,” MacNulty said. “I thought it was a little more entertaining to watch.”

Styx tour features Joan Jett By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Styx lead vocalist Lawrence Gowan surprised himself with how many Joan Jett songs he knew. CONCERT Styx is headlining a tour with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Tesla at 7 p.m. July 11 at the Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville. “The tour is exceeding expectations, although we did have high expectations for it,” Gowan said. “We’ve toured with Tesla in the past and we’re devoted followers of (that band). Joan Jett is the new factor and new part of the recipe.” Styx is touring in support of “The Mission,” which was released in June 2017 and is the band’s first new studio album in 14 years. “It’s been on Billboard’s classic rock charts for almost an entire year,” Gowan said. Drawing much attention to Styx is playing “Mr. Roboto,” which was part of the 1983 “Kilroy Was Here” album, which hasn’t been performed on tour for years. Following the rock opera concept album and tour, Tommy Shaw left the band to pursue a solo career. Soon after, the band broke up.

Gowan said he had go to his Styx history class to understand why the band didn’t play “Mr. Roboto,” which was written by former member Dennis DeYoung. “I have three professors with Tommy Shaw, James Young and Chuck Panozzo,” Gowan said. “It was never that song but always the experience of that tour. I can imagine they were young then and it was a grueling recording and touring schedule they were on back then. There is bound to be friction, and one wrong thing can be the tipping point and they need to go to the neutral corners for time out. The experience was hard on the whole band. But enough time has passed, and let’s face it, “Mr. Roboto” is a song that has lasted for decades.”

St. John’s amazing grave Commentary by Don Knebel Near Izmir, Turkey are the ruins of the Basilica of St. John, one of the most important churches of the Middle Ages, famous for its miracle-bestowing grave dust. Early in the history of Christianity, a grave TRAVEL on a hillside about 2 miles northeast of the then-important city of Ephesus was identified with a Christian writer named John, believed to be the author of Revelation. The faithful began assuming that the same person was John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, and that he had also written the Gospel of John and the three biblical letters of John. Based on those assumptions, fourth-century Christians erected a small chapel over the grave dedicated to John the Theologian. New stories soon circulated about the grave and its occupant. The most prevalent story was that John was not really dead and his breathing caused the grave to emit dust called “manna.” Pilgrims flocked to the site to obtain containers of manna, claimed to do everything from calming stormy seas to assisting women in childbirth. In the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian ordered construction of a monumental new church on the site to accommodate the crowds. The brick-and-stone church, in the shape of a cross, featured six domes, the central one directly above the grave and supported on four columns. The Basilica of St. John opened in 565 A.D. After the Turks conquered Ephesus in 1304, the Basilica of St. John was used as a mosque until it was destroyed. Materials scavenged from the ruins were then used in

building the Isa Bey (Mr. Jesus) Mosque immediately downhill from the church. Today, the Basilica of St. John has been partially restored, giving visitors a sense of the size of the building, which, if totally rebuilt, would reportedly be the seventh-largest church in the world. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@ currentzionsville.com.
Irregardless, it is a word Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt You’re not going to like this. On the contact form on my website, I have a field where I ask people what their least favorGRAMMAR GUY ite word is (for the record, mine is supple). The word that by far gets the most entries is “irregardless.” I’m sorry to break it to you, but irregardless is a word. Yes, irregardless is a word. Depending on the word processing tool you use, it sometimes gets the red squiggly underline treatment — but not always. Look it up in a dictionary, and you’ll find it there along with all of the other officially sanctioned words. When people jokingly use irregardless, they are doing it wrong. Those who utter it accompanied by an ironic smirk simply use it instead of regardless, to the frustration of word purists. Many have dismissed the word irregardless because they view it as redundant; regardless is all we need, they argue. Adding “ir-” in front of regardless downright irritates people. But that’s the wrong way to use irregardless. You see, irregardless is a way to drop the mic on an argument after someone has already used “regardless.” Here’s an example: Robin: Batman, will you let me pick the music on the Bat Radio next time we’re in the Batmobile? I promise not to sing along.
Batman: Absolutely not. Regardless, your taste in music is terrible. Robin: Holy supple salamanders, Batman! I won’t play any Creed or Nickelback. Can I pick the music, please? Batman: Irregardless, my answer is “no.” To the Batcave. In this scene, Batman shuts down the argument by putting extra emphasis on “regardless” by saying “irregardless.” Batman knows how to use irregardless properly. Also, he’s the one who wears the pants in the Dynamic Duo (OK, technically they’re tights, but Robin only wears green underwear). Most of the time irregardless is used, it’s misused—probably in a knowingly tongue-in-cheek manner. And its intent comes through; people either get bothered by their friend’s usage of irregardless or they think it’s funny. Either way, unless you’re using irregardless like Batman, you’re doing it wrong. Batman once said, “It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” I say: Leave the defining up to the dictionary; we can all do a better job of improving our grammar and word usage to make our lives more awesome.
