Arts funding held up in budget talks By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Every year, approximately 1 percent of the city’s budget typically goes to help local arts organizations with their budgets. Arts Government organizations are allowed to request up to one-third of their previous years’ income. Based on these requests, Mayor Jim Brainard presents the City Council with a list of the organizations to receive funding, along with dollar amounts. The total dollar amount before the council for approval is $707,756, and the request list was submitted by the mayor on April 15. Yet since then, the resolution to grant these gifts has been repeatedly tabled at each council meeting, pending “approval of the 2013 budget,” and the organizations continue to wait for their requested funds. Why? “These are gifts,” Council Finance Chair Luci Snyder said. “I am not going to give a gift until I know that I have the money to do it.” Before agreeing to release arts funding, the City Council has been awaiting verification of line item income streams that were included in the 2013 budget as follows: • Utilities Management Fee: The city’s budget included $406,000 in back payment from last year and $812,000 for this year. Although those payments have not been made, Carmel City Utilities Director John Duffy has made a written confirmation that City Utilities has the funds and intends to make those payments. • Clay Township Fire Contract: The township and the city share the responsibility for the fire contract. In April, Clay Township made a payment to the city of $1.5 million for services in 2012. Clay Township has allocated $1.1 million in this year’s budget for the fire contract, but that allocation has not been approved by its board and is not scheduled for a vote until September. • CRC: The city’s 2013 budget also includes an anticipated payment from the CRC in the amount of $1.575 million. This payment is meant to defray the maintenance costs that the city now bears on all the buildings and property that the CRC turned over to the city last year. The council is awaiting confirmation from the

DISPATCHES Save the date – The Carmel Arts Council’s 20th Anniversary Gala, One Enchanted Evening, will be held at the Lucas Estate on Nov. 2. Cost is $150 per person. Henle and the Loops, an alldoctors band with one attorney, will donate its time for this event, which will include dinner, entertainment, upmarket silent auction and live auction. Burglaries reported – On July 17 around 2 p.m., the Carmel Police Dept. responded to a burglary call at 803 Walkabout Circle North. Upon arrival, police found four additional apartments and a garage that had been burglarized. The suspects entered through the front doors of the apartments and a side door of the garage. Items stolen included electronics, computers and jewelry, according to a police report. If you have any information regarding these burglaries, contact the Carmel Police Dept. Criminal Investigation Division at 571-2551 or Crime Stoppers at 262-TIPS (8477).

CRC that it will be able to make that payment, and a meeting is scheduled for July 24. During last week’s council meeting, Snyder made a rather unprecedented proposal to release half of the funds proposed for the Carmel Symphony, as Alan Davis, president and CEO of the Symphony has stated that he is not comfortable signing contracts with musicians until the funding is secured. However, that attempt failed, as Council member Eric Seidensticker said that a separate resolution needed to be crafted and signed to do so, and it was not possible to do that after the close of City Hall’s business day. That resolution will be on the agenda for the July 29 council meeting. “It’s important to remember that this is a gift. Many cities don’t provide for the arts at all. We are fortunate that Carmel does take the arts into consideration in their budget. We are grateful for whatever we receive, whenever we receive it. As an organization, we have to take the bull by the horns and solve our own problems,” said Jim Reilly, Executive Director of the Actors Theatre of Indiana. Visit currentincarmel.com for a list of organizations seeking funding.

Mayor hosts iftar event

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and his wife, Liz, recently hosted a group of nearly 200 people at their home for an “iftar,” ramadan which is the term used to describe the nightly breaking of the Ramadan fast in the Muslim religion. The event was organized by the Al Salam Foundation, Inc. and the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. Indiana’s Fifth District Congresswoman Susan Brooks was also in attendance. What is Ramadan? Ramadan occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, all Muslims who are physically able to do so are obligated to fast from sunup to sundown every day for the entire month. They will have a small meal just before sunrise, known as “suhoor,” but they do not consume even a drop of water during the course of the day until sunset, at which time the fast is broken after prayer, and they consume their evening iftar (meal). Ramadan is not just a fasting period for devout Muslims. There is a strong spiritual element to the month as well, in which followers abstain not only from food and drink, (which they believe brings them closer to their God, Allah,) but also attempt to improve themselves by abstaining from any other impure or dishonest acts. Representatives of the Muslim Community Dr. Nadeem Ikhlaque, president of the Al Salam

customizing distinctive spaces for 85 years.

Foundation, spoke at the event, referring to Ramadan as a “month of blessing” and noting that experiencing hunger and thirst throughout the month allows Muslims to “develop sympathy and empathy for those who experience hunger not by choice, but by circumstance.” Other Honored Guests “I so admire what you’re doing,” Brooks said, “and this is an opportunity to strengthen ties to family and to the community. Ramadan should not be the only time we interact with people from other faiths, and the American dream isn’t owned by one class.” In closing, Brainard thanked the evening’s presenters and said, “When I study the history of our cities, I see that the most important advances take place when people of diverse backgrounds meet. Carmel’s diversity brings a richness to the fabric of our community, and our freedom of religion should be celebrated.”

Citizens bring concerns to council By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Old Town Resident speaks up Mary Eckert, a citizen of Old Town, spoke about her displeasure government over an Indianapolis Star article on the Midtown Redevelopment in which developer Justin Moffett was quoted as describing her neighborhood as “a hodge-podge of dumpy old rentals.” Moffett also asked for a letter to be read aloud in which he wished to clarify that he felt his quote was taken out of context, and that he was not referring to the entire Old Town area, simply a few small sections north of Main Street. Proposed gas station An executive from Citizens Energy Group asked the council to stop the proposed Rickers gas station at 146th Street and River Road due to concerns about potential water supply contamination should a tank failure occur. Council President Rick Sharp reminded all in attendance that this is not an issue for the council to decide. The area is zoned for use as a gas station; thus the council has no say in the matter.

Additionally, Carmel City Utilities has deemed the usage safe for the water supply. Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider also noted that it would be of no avail to bring the water concern issue up at the upcoming Plan Commission meeting either, as the issue at hand there is appearance of the building, not the use of it. “We are not going to discuss water,” said Rider (referring to the land use meeting.) However, Councilor Ron Carter, who was among those who initially approved the PUD which allows the land to be used as a gas station, is now concerned. “I think we made a mistake,” he said. He expressed concerns about potential spills or tanker accidents. AACT Theatre Festival Sharp read a letter of thanks from the organizers of the AACT (American Association of Community Theatre) festival, which took place at the Center for the Performing Arts June 17 through 23. The letter read, in part, “Carmel was a gracious host, and our audiences loved the Tarkington Theatre and the Farmer’s Market.”

What happened: Finance, Administration and Rules Committee will review CRC contracts which are pending approval. What it means: Under the restructuring of the CRC, the council must approve all contracts exceeding $25,000.

What’s next: The meeting is scheduled for July 18.

Gas station is an approved use

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Several citizens have voiced concerns about a potential threat to the city’s water supply from the proposed condevelopment struction of a Rickers gas station at 146th Street and River Road, but Carmel City Council member and Plan Commission Chair Kevin “Woody” Rider would like them to understand why he feels those concerns are unfounded. “The PUD (planned unit development) for this land was created in 2007,” Rider said. “At that time, the area was approved for uses that would include a gas station. That was the time to voice concerns about water. I am not going to listen to the opinions of paid consultants. I am going to listen to the EPA, IDIM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management,) city utilities and city engineers. If they say it’s going to be safe, then I believe it’s going to be safe.” Plans by Turkey Hill to open a gas station in the same location in the past fell through. However, Rider wants to clarify the facts behind that for anyone who tried to make the argument that

Turkey Hill’s plans failed because of safety issues or city regulations. “We did not run them (Turkey Hill) off,” Rider said. “Their business plans changed. However, they had already spent $150,000 of their own money on an independent safety study. Rickers will benefit from that information, and has incorporated some of those safety points into their own plans.” Those plans include triple tanks (which is more than is required by the EPA) and a dry detention area that holds twice the capacity of a tanker. “Tanker trucks drive on 146th Street all the time,” Rider said. “They drive all over our city. No one wants a tanker accident to occur, but if it did, the Rickers station would be the absolute safest and best place to contain it.” Ultimately, according to Rider, if the city does not deem it safe, it simply will not happen, but he does not anticipate any problems. Representatives from the city engineering and utility departments will make their final recommendations on the project in a public Special Use Committee meeting on Aug. 6.

Winning artist exhibits in Carmel

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com

A reception at ArtSplash gallery during July’s Gallery Walk launched Indianapolis photographer Marie Reamer’s exhibit “MeditaArts tions on the Mediterranean and Monte Carlo.” Images feature the Mediterranean Sea from Antibes to the French Riveria plus architectural elements of Monte Carlo. Reamer’s photographs offer vibrant colors and a depth that mimics scenes experienced by the naked eye. Pieces such as “A Little Shop” offer a surreal quality of texture. “These images are more than photographs,” one observer at the reception said. “It’s like being there yourself.” “I love to shoot cityscapes and urban images,” Reamer said. “I see art and beauty in a gritty, broken down building, as well as in the beautiful scene of an architectural wonder.” She captures her images with a Canon 5D Mark III digital SLR but her techniques with high dynamic range and tone mapping are the key to attaining such life-like intensity. With five layers of an image, she can emphasize dominant colors and light while deepening shadows. Though her interest in photography started during her years at the Universities of Utah and Connecticut, she expanded her skills with classes and darkroom workshops at the Art Center of Indianapolis.

Marie Reamer at her ArtSplash Gallery exhibit reception. (Photo taken by Nina Johnson)

She prints her photos on an Epson 4900 Stylus photo printer with archival-quality paper she guaranteed would “remain stable over 200 years” with proper care. Reamer was named a 2013 Hoosier Woman Artist for her piece “Indianapolis Cityscape.” This piece draws attention to the abstract beauty of shadows on the warm colors of an urban setting. The public is welcome to view this image on display in Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann’s office entry room. “Visitors are encouraged to stop by Room 333 in the State House to view the art with friends and family during normal business hours,” Ellspermann said. ArtSplash Gallery, 111 W. Main St., will display Reamer’s exhibit with matted prints available for purchase through July. The exhibit includes an exclusive look at photographs from her travels to Mexico. Reamer’s online galleries include flowers, European and U.S. travels, the art of wine and chromatic studies at mreamerimages.com.

In fact, Lennon’s point was that there was

a problem with the world’s youth to put so much emphasis on a rock band. Also, Yoko Ono did not break up the band, “that would be giving her too much credit.” Mansfield’s favorite Beatles album is “Abbey Road” because it was very creative after all the turmoil they had been through. “You can hear the tension in ‘The White Album,’ but you don’t hear it in Abbey Road.” Aside from being the U.S. manager of Apple Records, the Director of Capitol Records, the Vice President of MGM, and the President of the CBS label, Ken Mansfield wrote four books later in his life. His book “The Beatles, the Bible, and Bodega Bay: My Long and Winding Road” is one of the most popular books ever written about the Beatles. Mansifeld talked about the tragedy of having so much success in a young man’s life, and how it doesn’t always produce inner fulfillment. “I made success my god,” he said. “I was alone and lost in a godless world.” He shared the story of how he went from having one of the top resumes in the music industry, to having a rebirth in Nashville as a stagehand after he closed down his own label. “God knew I had to go broke, before I could be broken,” he said.

Financial advisor sentenced news@currentincarmel.com

Former Carmel businessman Thomas Redmond Jr. pled guilty and was sentenced July 18 for defrauding 10 victims, nine of whom were elderly, out of more than $580,000. Redmond pled guilty to eight counts of securities fraud, a Class B felony, and two counts of securities fraud, a Class C felony. He was sentenced to 15 years, 10 years executed, and to pay restitution to the victims. The 10-year executed sentence is to be served as four years in the Indiana Dept. of Correction and six years in a work release program. The case was prosecuted by Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry’s office following an investigation conducted by Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson’s Securities Division. “It’s unfortunate that, again, we have a pro-

fessional misusing his position of trust to scam personal acquaintances. Redmond was a financial advisor who admitted to investigators that he began taking client funds for his own personal use in 2004, according to a release from Lawson’s office. He concealed the misappropriation of his clients’ funds by sending them fraudulent statements which purported to show the returns on their investments. He also made payments back to some of his clients, often through funds taken from other victims as is typical in a “Ponzi” scheme, Lawson stated. Redmond was permanently barred from selling securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in 2011, but failed to inform his clients or his employer that his license to sell securities had been revoked and continued to facilitate transactions.

UNITED WAY’S FOCUS ON

EDUCATION IN HAMILTON COUNTY

Make it your magical moment Commentary by Jeff McDermott

During the week of July 22 through 26, the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative will again competition proudly host the 2013 High School Vocal Academy and Competition. Ten poised and talented high school students hailing from across the country have qualified in regional competitions in 22 states to participate in a five-day “boot camp” interpreting and performing the music of the Great American Songbook. These young artists have been carefully selected from the best of the best to come to Carmel and compete. The week will culminate July 26 at 8 p.m. at The Palladium where the finalists will each perform two songs from the genre. The winner will be crowned in front of a live audience, earning him or her the unique title of the Youth Ambassador of the Great American Songbook. Our Youth Ambassador also will receive a cash award, perform in concert with Michael Feinstein, be highlighted at next year’s Encore Gala, sing our National Anthem at an upcoming Colts game before more than 65,000 fans and much more. Did I mention these talented young people are still just in high school? You will need to see it to believe it. The vocal competition also helps fill an unfortunately growing void in national arts education. Why invest in the arts? Studies clearly show stu-

dents who are involved in arts programs, on average, perform better academically and are more likely to volunteer in their communities. Yet, the Dept. of Education reports that only 56 percent of public high schools include music education as a requirement for graduation. Sadly, roughly 2.1 million children across the country receive no music education at all. The lack of focus for arts education and funding in our schools is a national problem. The High School Academy and Vocal Competition is one step toward the solution. Previous winners and finalists have established impressive resumes. They have performed with Feinstein at his club in Manhattan, competed on American Idol, appeared with greats such as Marvin Hamlisch, Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Maye, and received admission to competitive performing arts programs at collegiate and professional levels. How fortunate we are that tomorrow’s stars are being discovered and their careers are being launched right here in Carmel. The competition brings together the best high school vocalists in the country who all share a great passion for the music of the Songbook. For ticket information see page 24. Jeff McDermott is Chairman of The Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative Board of Directors.

When a child starts school behind, he or she is more likely to stay behind. United Way of Central Indiana’s Kindergarten Countdown helps at-risk children in Hamilton County transition successfully into kindergarten ready to learn through participation in a four-week summer camp. Since 2011, United Way has teamed up with Indiana University Health to ensure Kindergarten Countdown at Sheridan Elementary School has been a success. • In 2011, attendees’ reading readiness scores increased by an average of 30%; in 2012 they increased by 38%. • Children who attend Kindergarten Countdown become leaders in the classroom and act as role models for others. Research shows that it is never too early to prepare children for kindergarten. At United Way, we want all children to enter school excited and ready to learn, and your support makes this possible.

Deputies cycle to honor fallen news@currentinwestfield.com

Each day, Indiana law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way to keep their communities safe Philanthropy and each year some officers pay the ultimate price in performance of their duty. On July 8, 10 members of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office participated in the first day of the Cops Cycling for Survivors bike ride to remember and honor those officers who have been killed in the line of duty. While riding almost 80 miles from Indianapolis to Richmond on Day 1

of a 13-day, 1,000 mile trek, deputies met with families and survivors of fallen officers as well as stopped to memorialize the officers. Deputy Bryant Orem said this is the third year that the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has participated in the ride and the group raised nearly $1,700 to contribute to the ride this year. The Cops Cycling for Survivors foundation assists with the financial and emotional needs of survivors as well as making sure that fallen officers are never forgotten. Each summer, the group sponsors a bike ride that circles the state. More than $26,000 was raised this year in the Ride to Remember.

for You’

Clothing line was created to help Ethiopian children By Katy Frantz • news@currentnoblesville.com Carmel resident Hannah Blachly has not only an inspiration to support community organizations in Ethiopia, but cover story the means to raise the money through a business she helped create. As she was studying nursing at Purdue University last year, her boyfriend, Riley Rapp, came to her with an idea for a philanthropic business. She jumped on board right away, and they collaborated together to start the business. Combining Rapp’s study of entrepreneurship with his fascination with fashion, they formed a clothing line that had a greater purpose. Blachly volunteered to update any form of interaction the business would have through facebook, twitter, instagram and a blog. Rapp’s grandma, Judy Burton, who owns a screen-printing business in Tipton, joined the (Right) Jesse Getiso came home with the Craigs in 2011. From left, Alex, Kathy, Jesse and Steve Craig.

team. Close friends, Benjamin Gardner and Brandon Porter, also offered their skills in technology. Even Rapp’s younger brother, Whitaker, offered to help with shipping and packaging arrangements. Hannah says the business is “definitely a team effort.” Rapp and Blachly were ready to launch the business, but they had yet to find a cause to support or a name for the business. Both came through their close friends who invited them on a recent trip to Ethiopia.

The Inspiration

The name of the business, Jesse G. Clothing, is inspired by the Craig family and their adopted son, Jesse Getiso. Rapp and Blachly met the Craig family at Young Life, a student ministry, in which they all served. Through volunteering together at summer camps and weekly clubs, they formed a tight bond. Steve and Kathy Craig, who live in McCordsville, had their daughter, Alex, 10 years ago.

Unable to have more kids and feeling that their family wasn’t complete, the Craigs pursued adoption. It wasn’t Plan A or Plan B, they say, but God’s plan. They worked with All God’s Children International to find an orphanage, and finally to adopt Jesse. The close connection that Kathy felt with Ethiopia didn’t leave her after the adoption. She knew she needed to return. This past December she extended the invitation to Rapp and Blachly. They responded with an enthusiastic “yes.” With that first step off the plane into Addis Ababa, Ethiopia came with overwhelming scents both familiar and foreign to the American nose. Yet the smell of potent spice and stench of trash littering the streets were not as vivid to them as the memory of men, women and children working to serve their community with little to no resources. The group has poignant memories of a youth rehab center they visited during the weeklong trip. The center was a correctional facility intended to be a place for boys to be mentored, to play games and to grow. Instead, Kathy said it looked like a “mud pit in a cage” with vacant buildings that couldn’t be used due to structural damage. The boys who live there call it “a jail.” Men educated as social workers run the facility and spend every day mentoring the boys. “What they want (the rehab center) to be is a place where there are games and soccer balls,” Rapp said. “But they don’t have any of that. They don’t have any of the resources.” It is places like the rehab center that Rapp and Blachly plan to support through their business, Jesse G. Clothing. They formed a relationship with All God’s Children International. The business provides 50 percent of the gross product from each sale of clothing to the organization. Every two months there will be “projects” in

Help Jesse G. support its causes: Every two months there will be “projects” in Ethiopia that Jesse G. Clothing will support. To learn more about The Food Project visit their project page at: www.jessegclothing.com. Jesse G. Clothing also has personal contact with the directors of an orphanage in Ethiopia called Hannah’s Hope. The orphanage works with orphan care homes and the community to provide for orphans and promote orphan prevention programs. To learn more about this ministry visit: www.allgodschildren.org/orphan-care/ ethiopia-missions.

Ethiopia that Jesse G. Clothing will support. “I think it’s great that we get to reach out to so many different kids,” Blachly said, “Rather than focusing on one center or orphanage.” She emphasized that though a lot of thought is put into the design and choice of clothing, the main focus is to serve the community and share that message with others. Rapp and Blachly see the business as “a simple way for people to do big things.” Their vision is to see individuals in Hamilton -RIley Rapp County and the United States serve alongside them by spreading the word. Anybody can help by telling a friend, a cousin, or a neighbor about Jesse G. Clothing and the work that can be done in Ethiopia through purchasing a T-shirt. That’s why on their website Rapp and Blachly consider Jessie G. Clothing a clothing line that’s “Not Just For You.”

“It’s so much more about spreading a story and a cause, then about the clothing.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Your tax dollars (hardly) at work

Take another shot It is our position that the proposed location for a gun store and shooting range in the heart of Carmel needs to be reexamined. Mayor Brainard hit the nail on the head by stating that the proposal is not appropriate. Though zoning for such a facility may be perfectly within the legal limits, sometimes common sense needs to prevail over legality. The planned location just north of the Monon Trail is near housing, Carmel High School and neighbors Dairy Queen. Treating the kids or the local little league team to an ice cream sundae with the sound of bullets in the background and folks packing heat in the neighboring parking doesn’t exactly scream, “family friendly.” Certainly, there is a location that is more appropriate for housing a gun store and shooting range. A similar facility recently opened in Blue Ash, an upscale suburb of Cincinnati and has garnered several noise complaints from neighbors. While the business is in compliance with community zoning laws, the noise is still a nuisance. Is it a coincidence that the proposed Carmel location is across the street from a funeral home or a foreshadowing of unintended consequences of such a business in the middle of town? Take another shot at finding a more appropriate location.

A loss for words Commentary by Terry Anker The words escape me. While our interactions are made up of countless verbal and nonverbal communications each day – really in almost every moment of each day, the use of language is perhaps the most relied upon. Yet, in so many areas of our lives, we seem unable or unwilling to identify and deploy the right words at the right time. Too often we sit idly by as those closest to us struggle or slip into despair, yet we fail to express concern, support or even attention to the matter. Many years ago when our oldest was just a toddler, we were visiting family for a holiday meal. Like many homeowners, they had an area rug to anchor the seating area in the living room. The toddler did as toddlers do and teetered around all the while developing his emerging equilibrium. Eventually he fell, hitting the coffee table and opening a cut on his forehead. During the ensuing chaos, one of the adults, clearly upset by the drama, exclaimed, “I KNEW

this was going to happen.” Was he upset at the rug placement? Was he upset by my lack of attentive parenting? Was he upset that the boy had not mastered standing up? It wasn’t really clear, but if he knew of the impending harm, why didn’t he work to prevent it? Could a word in advance have avoided the damage? When asked, he expressed an inability to come up with the words to warn without criticism and risked being chastised had he sounded the alarm too vociferously. Today, the talking heads scream and yell about Warren, Treyvon, Kanye and Rupert with equal fervor. Yet, we still seem unable to find the words to have a conversation about the economy, media, teachers or race. What are we losing because of our loss for words?

We heartily salute Americans for Tax Reform (www.atr.org) for getting up underneath all the verbiage of the Obamacare documents to reveal the top five most-absurd taxpayer-funded plan promotions (and no, we’re not making this up; stay with us, please): Coffee-cup sleeves. Oregon may begin printing Obamacare notices on coffee cup sleeves so everyone is aware of the great “opportunity” for higher premiums. “That’s what we’re thinking right now for getting to those hard-to-reach populations,” a spokeswoman for the Oregon Insurance Exchange said. Really, she did say that. “Modern Family” plot revisions. California has signed a $900,000 contract with a public relations firm to market the state Obamacare exchange. One proposal is to write about the exchange in plotlines for primetime shows. We always thought our tax dollars somehow ended up in Hollywood; now, we know. Airplane banner ads over beaches. Federal dollars provided through exchange grants in Connecticut will pay for beach flyovers advertising Obamacare. Wait! It gets better (or worse, depending on your appetite for sheer idiocy). “Get covered” messages on sunscreen containers. Access Health CT, the official state health insurance exchange, will even be at Sailfest, a southeastern Connecticut event that attracts more than 300,000 people annually, to promote the exchange. Thank the Constitution State citizens for paying for that, uh, effort. Porta-Potty ads. Washington’s health exchange is promoting itself to young people in the music-loving state with outreach at concerts and music festivals, so why not do a branding exercise in or on the portable bathrooms? Because it, like the rest of the aforementioned, are typically dunderheaded efforts to spread a message no one wants to hear because the creators of the initiative don’t understand it in the first place. ’Merica!

My type of crowd

Editor, I am Infuriated by Dairy Queen owner Mina Khoury for his comments “...I can’t believe he (Mayor Brainard) would want a business like this and the type of crowd it would attract.” This transparency of ignorance displayed by Khoury is precisely what is allowing the right to bare arms debate to be taken out of reality and into fictional arguments framed by personal opinions rather than facts. I will describe EXACTLY who would patron an indoor gun range. I would – a 32-year-old professional male with a wife and two children under 4 to protect. I am educated, well adjusted and seek the welfare of my neighbor or community. Who else would utilize such a place? How about all the fine men and women who protect our city

called the Police Department, Or the 21.5 million veterans who have been trained by our government to use guns as a means of protecting our safety and freedom. The truth is that gun ranges are for safety conscious good Americans who feel the honorable duty to protect victims and take a stand against injustice. I for one will utilize a gun range to practice and prepare for a moment I pray will never come, where I am the last line of defense between evil and those in need of protection, primarily my family. Don’t worry Mina Khoury, you will no longer have to deal with me as I will no longer be supporting your Dairy Queen, I clearly understand you don’t like my “type of crowd.” Zack Parker, 46032

Differences make them special Commentary by Danielle WIlson

After spending two weeks immersing myself in five currencies, four languages, and three continents, I thought I’d share some humor thoughts from my adventures in Morocco, Egypt and Turkey. Admittedly, I was anxious about being kidnapped or shivved. I was headed to three Islamic countries in Africa and the Middle East, and as people continuously reminded me, “That’s where the terrorists live!” In actuality, though, people there are just like folks here (except for Cairo motorists – they’re insane!) Yes, we did have a couple of times where we thought we might be on our way to an untimely and torturous death, such as when two taxi drivers in Casablanca kept trading us back and forth and arguing in Arabic as they drove side-by-side on a rural road. And an angry mob did beat on our car as we attempted to reach the pyramids. But those moments were simply a conspiracy plot between our overly active imaginations and Muslim stereotypes. The cabbies were just trying to get us to the airport without blowing an engine on the highway and the Giza men just wanted customers. Everyone we met was extremely welcoming and adored Americans, even gingers. I heard “pretty lady” a lot! I also stressed about stomach bugs and/or food poisoning. Nothing ruins a vacation like traveler’s diarrhea. To that end, I was adamant about not drinking “the water” and avoiding all street

foods and raw produce. But what’s the fun in that? So, we took our chances with vender falafel, pigeon pastille, and several platters of freshly washed vegetables. Doo had one “bad” day of koshary butt (due more from the spices than the quality of the food, I suspect), but even he said it was worth it. Couscous, lamb tanjine, rice pudding – these are now a few of my favorite things! A visit to this part of the world wouldn’t be complete if you didn’t spend a morning haggling over a rug. In our case, we didn’t know we were in the process of buying one until an hour in. We just thought the nice man giving us a thorough history of local textiles and serving us mint tea was being hospitable. Nope. He put aluminumsiding salesmen to absolute shame. We took more than 700 pictures and 30 videos, encountered cobras, belly dancers and 5,000-year-old mummies, and haggled our way into a beautiful hand-made Moroccan carpet. But the most memorable part was the people. Their faith, languages and currencies were definitely “foreign,” but their friendships will be valued all the more for exactly those differences. Here’s hoping you get the chance to do some adventurous traveling of your own. Sa-laam out.

Trust has always been a key factor in dealing with a government, organizations, business partners, subordinates, peers, politics family and friends. Trust is built during a period of time but can be broken quite easily. Remember how your trust meter dropped when you caught someone you knew in a lie? It is virtually impossible to trust individuals or organizations who don’t tell the truth. As a child growing up in Chicago, my parents would only lock the door to our house at bedtime or when we went out, because they trusted people. I doubt that happens today in Chicago or even in Hamilton County where we have such a low crime rate. So where does this put trust in our society today? Trust is based on the truth, so with liars running amok in America it has become difficult to trust anyone, especially politicians and government. Does this mean that we can’t trust anyone or anything? No, but it will be a long time before people will be able to trust politicians and government based on what continues to come from Washington. This also holds true here in Indiana when we have been lied to or had facts omitted on many issues being pitched to us. Since I don’t see a lot of movement among politicians and government to correct the problems or take action against the offenders, I don’t

think that trust will be restored soon. We have IRS employees going unpunished for infringing on personal liberty, and spending almost $50 million for lavish conferences. We have the National Security Agency allowing a low-level employee access to a huge amount of our personal data without monitoring his activity. Then they tell us not to worry about all of our telephone records and emails on file somewhere because they only get looked at after getting a court order. How can anyone trust these people and organizations? Well, what do we do; just sit here and trust the politicians and government? Absolutely not! Our only direct power to change government is to vote the liars and untrustworthy politicians out of office. It amazes me that Congress as a whole has a less than an 8-percent approval rating yet 95+ percent of the individual Congress people are reelected every two years. I also don’t understand why just a small percentage of eligible voters in Hamilton County register to vote, and even fewer actually do vote. We cannot continue on this path if we want to keep the liberties in our Constitution. Please, Wake up, America!

THIS WEEK Concert – Tim Wright of the Wright Brothers Band will perform at Hubbard & Cravens at Carmel City Center on July 26. on CARMEL the outdoor patio from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. (in case of inclement weather, the performance will be moved inside Hubbard & Cravens). Wright is most famous for performing with the Wright Brothers but also is known for a voice as nimble as his fingers. He’ll move from singing in a Garth Brooks twang to a James Taylor song all while picking a seemingly endless succession of stringed instruments: banjo, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, dobro, and pedal steel. Hubbard & Cravens is on the interior of Carmel City Center on the southwest corner of Range Line Road and City Center Drive. For reservations, contact Hubbard & Cravens at 805-1888.

Celebrating 20 years of the Bard

By Mark Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com

When the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission opens its production of “Romeo and Juliet” on July 26, it will be making theater Noblesville history. This summer’s production will mark the 20th anniversary of the commission’s “Shakespeare in the Park,” Central Indiana’s longest running annual event featuring the works of the Bard. During those 20 years, the productions have spanned the width and breadth of William Shakespeare’s literary plays: comedy, tragedy, history plays. Hamilton County historian David Heighway remembers the inaugural production from 1993. “It was ‘A Mid Summer’s Night Dream,’ he said. “We’ve also done the play twice since then.” Heighway said the popularity of the annual presentation is due to Shakespeare’s poetry, honor, laughter, magic and love. “Since the first production, it’s been steadily popular,” he said. “Attendance varies from year to year, usually depending on the weather. The great thing about a production this size is that it’s light on its feet, light on the expenses. It runs on its own steam.” Now entering its third decade, Heighway said performances are for the family and audience members of all ages. “The relaxed audience atmosphere in combination with modern explanations make the performance understandable even for those people

JULY 26 AT 8 PM

www.currentincarmel.com

Competition extends its reach By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com “The Song Is You” runs the title of a standard from the vast library of what Michael Feinstein calls the Great American Songbook, and in fact the 2013 Great American Songbook High School Vocal Academy and Competition tries to forge an identity between young vocal talents and the enduring output of America’s best popular songwriters in the era roughly between World War I and the Vietnam War. It’s not surprising that the song, by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, also lends its name to the current fund-raising campaign for the Feinstein Initiative’s showcase of great American songs and their up-and-coming interpreters. Financial support and emerging artists necessarily go together in such ventures. This year’s competition, a ticketed public event, will take place July 26 at the Palladium. It will cap a five-day academy putting the 10 contestants through their paces with members of the jury, who are also described as mentors to underline the educational purpose of the project. Sandi Patty and Sylvia McNair will conduct a master class with Feinstein; Jim Caruso and Jane Monheit will each lead a workshop with the students and combine their expertise for a workshop with the finalists. The contestants, all in high school at the time of their selection, were chosen as the result of five regional competitions, each of them comprising 10 participants who topped the field of online applicants in their respective regions. For the first time since Feinstein inaugurated the competition in 2009, 22 states were declared eligible places of residence, doubling the reach of the contest, according to competition director Chris Lewis. To accommodate the expansion, a fifth regional competition was added — in Atlanta. The other regional centers where one-day workshops, master classes and evening performances took place in May and June are Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Ann Arbor, Mich. The 2013 participants will be competing for a $3,000 cash award and the opportunity to share the bill with Feinstein in a professional engagement at a location to be determined. Performance opportunities extend for a year beyond the top singer’s selection; they include singing the national anthem at an Indianapolis Colts home game and performing at the 2014 Great American Songbook Hall of Fame Gala. Second- and third-place awards of $2,000 and $1,500, respectively, are stipulated for furthering the recipients’ musical education.

from the editor

When Current Publishing commissioned independent marketplace research, one of the most interesting results, when it came to shopping and other activities, involved Keystone at the Crossing. Simply put, survey respondents overwhelmingly named the Crossing as their preferred destination for expending disposable income. And shopping isn’t the only magnetic element at the Crossing. Respondents pointed to the following, as well:

tell us where you shop • Dine out at a sit-down/table-service restaurant • Dine out at a fine-dining restaurant • Live performance of any kind • Do-it-yourself project • Renovation • Spa treatments As Current is delivered to 100 percent of the so-called “Advan-

taged Belt” encompassing Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville – the most-coveted of all combined markets in the state, we thought we would start to take a closer look at the Crossing and all that it offers. We’ll do this in installments, with the second and third this year coming in September and November. Please tell us which Crossing businesses you frequent and why, and we’ll include your comments in the next special advertising section we do for this prominent area. Send us a note at info@ youarecurrent.com.

IU Health named to national healthcare news@currentincarmel.com U.S.News & World Report released its 24th annual Best Hospitals rankings, placing Indiana University Health on the 2013-2014 achievement “Honor Roll” for the second consecutive year. IU Health was the only Indiana healthcare system to earn that distinction, reserved for the top 1 percent of medical centers across the country. This year’s Honor Roll recognizes 18 hospitals out of approximately 5,000 that were reviewed for objective measures such as patient survival, safety and service, as well as reputation among medical peers. IU Health ranks No. 16 and 11 of its clinical programs – including cancer, cardiology, neurosurgery and orthopedics – are named among the nation’s elite. IU Health is honored alongside fellow medical institutions including Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic and UCLA Medical Center. “We have nearly 35,000 team members who strive every day to provide safe, high-quality care and service to every patient,” said Daniel F. Evans, Jr., president and chief executive officer, IU Health. “We are honored and humbled to be held in such high esteem by our national medical peers, but this distinction is especially meaningful because it provides assurance to our patients and their families that Indiana University Health is the right place to receive healthcare.” Deciding where to go for high-stakes healthcare can be confusing in a world saturated with adver-

tisements and competing claims over which hospitals are the best. “Patients facing a particularly difficult surgery, challenging condition or added risk due to other health problems can truly benefit from rankings such as these, which take into account everything from clinical expertise in complex cases to successful outcomes,” said Dr. John Kohne, IU Health chief medical officer. IU Health ranked among the best in the nation in the following 11 clinical areas: • Gastroenterology – 11th • Pulmonology – 12th • Urology – 13th • Neurology & Neurosurgery – 15th • Diabetes & Endocrinology – 16th • Geriatrics – 16th • Nephrology – 20th • Cardiology & Heart Surgery – 30th • Cancer – 32nd • Orthopedics – 38th • Ear, Nose and Throat – 43rd IU Health’s Gynecology program was also listed as “High Performing.” IU Health North Hospital was recognized for high performance in diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery and urology To generate its rankings, U.S. News & World Report surveyed nearly 10,000 specialists and sifted through hard data on almost 5,000 hospitals. The complete rankings and methodology are available at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals.

In regional recognition, the Indianapolis hospital was rated “high-performing” in gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery and pulmonology. Franciscan St. FrancisCarmel was not included in the rankings. “Our physicians, nurses and support staff continually work to improve clinical processes while using their extensive knowledge, experience and skills to ensure better outcomes and superior care for our patients,” said Robert J. Brody, regional president and chief executive officer for Franciscan St. Francis Health. “We’re pleased their efforts have been recognized.” The rankings have been published at http://health.usnews.com/ best-hospitals.

• Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted • Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends? • IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home? • HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions? If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

“While early intervention is critical, Autism Clinic of Indiana taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Autism Clinic of Indiana, we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

Enjoy the sun safety tips

Commentary by Melanie Kingsley, MD

With summer in full swing, here are some midseason skincare reminders to help you enjoy the sun safely. Summer Difference between “sunscreen” and “sunblock” – Chemical sunscreens filter ultraviolet light and reduce penetration into the skin. These include avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, oxybenzone and oxtinoxate. Most chemical sunscreens now protect from both UVA and UVB rays, but be sure to check labels for “broad spectrum coverage.” Physical sunblocks include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These reflect the sun to prevent absorption of both UVA and UVB rays through the skin. Choosing the right SPF – Use a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, which should provide 97 percent protection from UVA and UVB rays if applied appropriately. For children older than 6 months, physical sunblocks, containing fewer chemicals, are the best choice. Application amount and frequency – Because UV light breaks down sun protection products in just a few hours, reapplying every two hours is recommended. I advise applying a physical sunblock to the entire body before going out in the sun. Then if a chemical sunscreen is preferred, apply one with SPF 30 or higher every two hours. For most adults, a quarter cup of sunscreen/sunblock should adequately cover

the body. “Sunburn” and “sun poisoning” explained – Sunburn results from over exposure to ultraviolet light, which leads to immediate redness, burning, pain and blisters. Sunburn can also cause brown spots, wrinkles and skin cancer. Sun poisoning can refer to a severe sunburn resulting in fever, chills, headache, nausea and dizziness. It can also refer to polymorphous light eruption (sun sensitivity). Typically, this appears as a rash each spring upon first sun exposure and improves during the next few months as sun exposure continues. Treatment – Recommended remedies for mild cases of sunburn include applying cool cloths to affected skin or taking frequent cool showers or baths. Lotions with aloe vera can also help soothe skin. Topical steroids, such as hydrocortisone cream, may help alleviate sunburn pain and swelling. Do not use topical steroids on children under 2 without consulting a doctor. For more serious cases of sunburn or sun poisoning, call your doctor.

Don’t rush for benefits at age 62 Commentary by Joel Harris

If you’re like most Americans, you plan to sprint to the Social Security Administration’s office to claim your retirement finances benefits the minute you turn 62. Before you run, I highly recommend you research all of your options. Let me share an example with you. Roger and Suzy are married. Suzy is 62; Roger is 64. Suzy’s full retirement age is 66, she makes $50,000 per year and her projected benefit is $1,500 per month based on her income history. Roger’s full retirement age is 66, he makes $70,000 per year and his projected benefit is $2,000 per month. Both enjoy working and plan to remain in the workforce until they reach full retirement age. Suzy thinks it might be a good idea to elect to take her benefits early; even though they will be permanently reduced by 25 percent for the rest of her life. Having an extra $1,125 per month would be nice, but there is one very important caveat she needs to consider. When she elects to take benefits before full retirement age, she will be subject to income limitations that can drastically reduce her monthly benefit. Her Social Security benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 earned beyond $15,120 in 2013. Given this rule,

she currently makes $34,880 beyond the income limit, which means her entire monthly Social Security benefit will be withheld. This example essentially will eliminate her entire benefit from 62 to full retirement age if she continues to work and earn $50,000 per year. It’s not exactly what Suzy intended to do when evaluating whether to take her benefits early. On top of that, her monthly benefit would be reduced by 25 percent for good, even when she reaches full retirement age and she’s not subject to the income threshold. On the other hand, if Suzy decides to retire and collect benefits, Roger’s income will not affect her monthly benefit as it pertains to income limitation rule. The rule is applied to each individual’s income per year. That being said, her monthly benefit still would be reduced by 25 percent by taking benefits early. Social Security will play a major role in your retirement income planning. Do your homework before you go sprinting to the SSA office on your 62nd birthday.

Commentary by Lisa Beals

Understanding the canine tongue

Arggh. I’ve been kissed by a dog! Contrary to popular belief, Lucy, a dog’s tongue is so much more useful for a dog than simply for kissing. A dog’s tongue is used for greeting, eating, drinking and panting. That relaxed mouth and loose tongue is your dog’s way of inviting you to interact with him. No one can resist sloppy puppy kisses or the friendly, compassionate kisses of an older faithful companion. Sometimes those kisses may be to investigate the taste of salt from your skin or the remains of the fried chicken you just had in your hands. Your dog’s taste buds can discern the sensations of salt, sweet and sour tastes. The top of the tongue senses sour; whereas the sides and back of the tongue can distinguish a salty flavor. Sweet flavors are distinguished on the sides and front of the tongue. If you watch your dog drink, you may note that it is accomplished with only the tip of the tongue as that is where the taste of water is sensed. In this hot summer weather you may notice that your dog is panting. Dogs do not have sweat glands as we think of them in

humans. The only place a dog can sweat is through his foot pads. To help dissipate heat from his body, he will pant. By opening his mouth to pant, he is releasing moisture from his body as we would “sweat.” The breath in his mouth is more warm and moist than that in his nasal cavity, so when he opens his mouth to pant, his tongue actually expands and assists in pushing the heat out of his body to cool him down. Chinese medicine teaches that the condition of the tongue is

important in assessing the dog’s overall health condition and is a reflection of the balance of yin and yang. Assess your dog’s tongue for smell and color. The saliva can be an indication of his digestive system. A normal tongue color is more of a pink hue indicating adequate blood flow and can be indicative of heart function. A purple tongue may indicate blood stagnation. And finally, we don’t often think of the tongue as a muscle but it is. If it is a muscle, does it have an integral part in a dog’s movement? The answer is yes. If you watch your dog run around a corner to the left, you may notice his tongue out to the side on the right as he rounds the corner. The tongue is acting as a counter balance and will return to center as the dog returns to straight on movements. If you watch films of agility dogs, you can further assess how the tongue assists in adjusting for jumps and turns. Take time to observe your dog’s tongue and the many uses it serves him.

BANG, BANG! Watching the red carpets and flipping through fashion mags is a great way to find out what is in vogue. Over the past couple months, one of the main hair fashions seen on style icons is…bangs.

OVERPLUCKED? Choose an eyebrow pencil that is a shade slightly lighter than your hair so the color looks natural. Fill in over plucked areas first with the pencil and go over the area again with a brow powder. The brow powder will soften the line from the pencil, giving your makeup a softer look. Salon 01 has trained estheticians on staff who can help you learn this trick of the trade, and many other beauty secrets. DID YOU KNOW? Salon 01 is the official salon of the Indiana Pacemates! We style their hair for photo shoots and games all throughout the season! If you see a look that you like down at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, be sure to give Salon 01 a call. The stylist will be happy to customize the look especially for you!

While bangs may be popular amongst celebs, how do you know if they are right for you? Bangs are high-maintenance, but can be a great asset to your style. Bangs are great for large foreheads. They also best suit faces with strong features. For delicate facial features, be sure not to get lost behind excessively thick bangs. If you have curly or thick hair, be careful that your bangs are not too short. They may have a tendency to stand on end if not cut to the right length. For your best bet, consult with a stylist who is trained in understanding facial shapes and hair texture. Remember: it is important to keep your bangs at an appropriate length. They need to be trimmed by a professional about every 2-4 weeks. MAD HATTER Hats make a great fashion statement, but when you wear a hat you want a hair style that still looks good when the hat comes off. There is no reason to shy away from this chic accessory because of the fear of “hat head.” The solution? A classic half-up/half-down look that might remind you of your schoolgirl days is a perfect resting place for your hat. If you are still unsure, pack a comb and travel hairspray in your bag as extra insurance on your post-hat ‘do’.

Commentary by Vicky Earley

You know when a room is arranged well. Balance and harmony paired with function creates a winning room and a welindoors coming feel is instant. Pros will always begin by identifying the focal point of the room. Typically it is a fireplace or window that overlooks beautiful trees or gardens. If a room is used for television viewing, it is best to identify the aesthetic focal and attempt to work the television into the area. Don’t underestimate the importance of easy conversation. Arrange furnishings face to face with a coffee table for ease when entertaining. If your room is long and narrow, divide the room into separate areas with furniture. This could be as simple as defining the space as dining and living by backing the sofa up near the table or actually having two separate conversation areas. Either way, it eliminates the look of a bowling alley when it is divided. The traditional sofa and chairs are not mandatory for a well-furnished room. Four chairs situated around a coffee table is an unexpected surprise and is fabulous when entertaining. An unused corner can be developed into a quiet getaway space by tucking a chair, ottoman and table into the area. A table lamp finishes the

space and allows for uninterrupted reading. Pros will often times unify a seating space with an area rug. This is true even if there is a neutral wall to wall carpet in the room. Square rooms can end up looking boxy and boring when everything is placed on the walls. By placing furniture on the diagonal, the room develops personality. Use the sofa and coffee table to indicate the diagonal line and arrange the other furnishings on the same axis. Once again, the area should be anchored with an area rug laid on the same angle. Recognize if you are more comfortable with symmetry or asymmetry and assign furnishings accordingly. Chairs placed on each side of a fireplace or sofas that face each other are perfect examples of a symmetric arrangement. If asymmetry is more appealing, avoid making it a hodgepodge of sizes. Balance is still important with an asymmetric room layout. There are a multitude of websites that allow you to test your layout digitally. This can save your back as well as your sanity.

Cosmetic remodel transforms kitchen’s feel and function

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing kitchen: These long-time Carmel residents remember the peace and quiet that used to be the norm in their neighborhood. Indeed, when they blueprint for built their home improvement in the late 1960s, they chose their Carmel lot because of the trees and the quiet. After 40 years of growth, they still love their home and their neighborhood, but their house was in need of an update. “The kitchen had the original dark woodstained cabinets, and I had to keep many of my small appliances in the garage because there was not enough room,” said one of the homeowners. “We had an antique kitchen table, too.” A railing separated the kitchen from the family room, and the floors were covered in carpet. Beyond updating the look, bringing more storage and functionality into the space without expanding the footprint was a goal of this cosmetic kitchen remodel. New breakfast bar: The area housing the kitchen table was a natural place to add additional cabinetry, counter space and seating. “We have the dining room for entertaining, so we did not need a table in the kitchen,” the owner said. The new breakfast bar design added cabinetry in an L-shape to serve as the transition between the kitchen and the family room. A solid surface

countertop covers the peninsula, where two bar stools provide seating. Cabinet modifications: To lighten the kitchen, the existing cabinetry was painted a warm white, and subway tile in Ragno Boardwalk was used on the backsplash. For contrast, the new birch cabinetry includes a Twilight dark stain. Large ceramic tile flooring replaced the carpet, and the new lighting scheme included under cabinet lights and pendants above the peninsula. Final results: Although the changes were few, the impact was dramatic. The new cabinetry provided more storage, allowing the homeowners to store all of their tools and utensils

in the kitchen. The peninsula created an openconcept feel to the space, and the taller crown molding on the new cabinetry added architectural interest. “We do not miss the old kitchen,” said one of the homeowners. “An updated space gives you lift.”
