City could shut down events By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is preparing to take action if one of its most prominent families continues to hold large events that LUCAS ESTATE are not approved for a residential area, but some neighbors are wondering why enforcement hasn’t happened already. The city’s board of zoning appeals denied a variance request last fall for Lucas Estate, owned by Lucas Oil Company founder Forrest Lucas, to hold semi-public events, such as weddings and recognition ceremonies, at the 33-acre site at 1143 W. 116th St. Since then, the city has continued to receive complaints from neighbors about large events. Sima Sciopu, president of the neighboring Queens Manor HOA, wrote a letter to the city in June outlining events that appear to violate city ordinances since the 2017 BZA ruling. Sciopu stated that 11 events took place on the property from April to June 17, with the four outdoor events requiring multiple calls to police for noise and nuisance complaints. Sciopu stated that the events lead to “an immeasurable influx of cars” driving through Queens Manor and concerns about intoxicated drivers leaving parties at the estate. The letter also addresses concerns about wear on the residential infrastructure and impact on home values. Nearly a year later, Sciopu questions why more hasn’t been done to stop violations. “A major challenge continues to be enforcement of the rulings, regulations and laws,” the letter states. “Regardless of your decision that the Lucas Estate cannot continue in the manner they have been, the Carmel PD has not acted upon your instructions.” The city has sent letters to Lucas Estate officials and met with them regarding the issue, but if the ordinance continues to be violated, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the city will take additional action. “We can write citations, and eventually we can stop an event,” Brainard said. “We hope we don’t have to do that to anybody’s event, but we’re coming very quickly to a point where we’re going to start notifying people publicly that events could be stopped if they’re for-profit, and we’d have to use the police to do that.”
Neighbors say that the Lucas Estate has continued to host lavish events since the Carmel Board of Zonong Appeals last fall denied a variance to hold semi-public events on site. (File photo)
City leaders are optimistic a resolution can be reached soon. “The City has been discussing issues with attorneys for the Lucas Estate. We also have been encouraging them to work with the neighbors,” Nancy Heck, Carmel director of community relations and economic development, stated in an email. “Those efforts are ongoing and we are hoping for a solution that would satisfy all parties. The estate, like any Carmel residence, is allowed to host private parties or fundraisers as long as it’s not renting out the space or charging for services. Neighbors and city officials noted that the estate has presented itself online as a space to rent. Many believe the problems with holding semi-public events at Lucas Estate go beyond the noise and traffic complaints received by neighbors. Brainard said it’s not fair to other event spaces in Carmel, which pay double the tax rate to operate as a commercial venue, but ultimately the issue comes down to respect. “It’s disconcerting to see a community leader like the Lucas family choose to say, ‘I’m just going to defy the law’,” Brainard said. “What type of message does that send to children and the community, saying ‘I don’t care what the rest of the community has decided. I’m prominent enough that I’m going to do what I want to.’” Lucas Estate officials appealed a determination letter written in November 2017 by Carmel Dept. of Community Services Director Michael Hollibaugh that ordered the estate to cease commercial operations within 30 days. The appeal states that the Lucas family denies activities on the site constitute a “commercial use” as defined by city ordinance. The Carmel BZA was set to discuss the appeal July 23. An attorney representing the Lucas family did not respond to a request for comment.

Solicitor law amended again Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met July 16 to discuss an amendment to the solicitor ordinance, camping on public property and more. What happened: The council approved an amendment to its solicitor ordinance that redefines a vendor as someone who is 18 years of age and older. What it means: The council amended the ordinance approximately a month ago to comply with a federal law that prohibits municipalities from differentiating between vendors from for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The city’s previous amendment stated that all vendors must submit to a background check and pay for a license. The latest amendment exempts those who are 17 years old and younger.
What’s next: The council suspended the rules and adopted the amendment on first reading.
What happened: The council introduced an ordinance that prohibits camping in a vehicle on city property. What it means: The proposed ordinance states that a resident may apply for a permit to camp on city property only during an emergency, such as an act of nature or terrorist incident. Those who violate the ordinance would be fined $50 per offense, per day.
What happened: The council approved a resolution that supports hiring a broker to help the city sell property it owns at 3348 Foster Ridge Lane.
Living with Diabetes
What it means: The city purchased the property, which appraised for approximately $342,500, at the northeast corner of the intersection to construct a roundabout at Carey Road and Hawthorne Drive. Because the city did not receive any bids the council is seeking to sell it with the help of a broker.
Join our diabetes educators for an evening of diabetes facts and health tips. We’ll discuss myths and truths regarding diabetes and conclude the program with a Q&A session. A light dinner will be served.

City named best place to live By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel has been named the “Best Place to Live in America” for the second year in a row by Niche, a ACHIEVEMENT website that helps users connect with neighborhoods and schools that may be a good fit. Niche considered quality of local schools, crime rates, housing trends, employment statistics and more in compiling its rankings. It used data from the U.S. Census, FBI, Bureau of Labor Statistics and
more. The list aims to provide an assessment of the overall livability in each city. “Our goal is to make (Carmel) one of the best places anywhere to live,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brianard said. “When you get that validation from a national organization, it’s wonderful.” Brainard said receiving the top ranking is worth “probably tens of millions of dollars” in free advertising for the city and helps it attract top-quality employers. Rounding out the top five are Chesterbrook, Penn.; Clarendon Hills, Ill.; Richmond Heights, Mo.; and Okemos, Mich.

Rotarian of the Year named By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Kurt Rupenthal never saw it coming. “I was totally surprised,” Rupenthal said after being named the ACHIEVEMENT 2017-18 Rotarian of the Year late last month by the Rotary Club of Carmel. John Stanley, who was club president until July 1, said Rupenthal was very deserving. “Kurt does many things behind the scenes to help people and does it for the true reason of helping people and does not do it for recognition or something in return,” Stanley said. “He is also a past president of the club and is very involved in the youth services part of Rotary and has a passion for helping young people.” Rupenthal, a 59-year-old Fishers resident who has been a dentist in Carmel since 1985, is the organizer for the Rotary Interact Club at Carmel High School. Rupenthal said the service club was inactive this past school year but he is looking to rekindle it for the 2018-19 school year. He also serves as the club coordinator for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award Camp and is the district chairperson for Rotary Interact in central Indiana, Rotary District 6560.

Plating a feast from the forest By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Throughout July, local foragers are exploring Indiana’s forests to find food for a oneof-a-kind meal in Carmel. FORAGING The Indiana Forest Alliance will host the ForestForaged Feast at 5:30 p.m. July 29 at Atrio, inside IU Health North Hospital. “We’re sourcing really amazing foraged food from Indiana forests,” said Sandra Messner, development director for Indiana Forest Alliance. The full menu will depend on what foragers find. Local foragers, including Summer Cooper, are searching throughout Indiana forests to find food for the meal, which will include locally foraged berries and mushrooms and locally sourced organic farmraised-food and a vegan station. “Before the 1820s or so, Indiana was 85 percent forest. It’s important to remember that, because in the current landscape, we have very few forests left,” Messner said. “This dinner allows people to experience some foods that our ancestors and Native Americans were eating long before today. I think it’s a special experience to learn about these foods,

and it’s amazing to me how many tasty things are sitting on the forest floor.” Executive Chef Peter Fulgenzi will prepare the meal. Fulgenzi runs Atrio, where he’s trying to change the perception of hospital food by offering healthy, gourmet selections. He was previously the personal chef for actor John Travolta. Fulgenzi said his daughter is a mycologist and organic vegan, and he’s walked through the woods many times with her discovering new foods on forest floors. Tickets are $150 per person. The event will include music by Tim Brickley and a silent auction. Proceeds will benefit Indiana Forest Alliance’s mission to preserve and restore Indiana’s native hardwood ecosystem for the enjoyment of all. For information, visit indianaforestalliance.org.

Father-daughter duo takes model rocketry to world competition By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com
FAI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS The 2018 FAI World Championships begin July 28 in Wloclawek, Poland. The event: • Is held every two years • Is organized by the World Air Sports Federation • Includes nine events • Hosts representatives from more than 20 nations • Features 21 senior and nine junior competitors from the U.S.
Carmel’s Ryan Woebkenberg and his daughter, Katie, are taking their model rocketry overseas to compete in the July 28 FAI World Championships for Space Models in Wloclawek, Poland. They previously competed in the COVER STORY 2010 championships in Serbia. In July 2017, Ryan and Katie competed at the National Association of Rocketry Annual Meet in Michigan, which is the qualifying competition for the World Championships. Each nation sends three contestants from the junior and senior categories of each event, of which there are nine. At NARAM, Ryan qualified for the team, but Katie did not until two other juniors dropped out. Katie, 14, will competitively fly the Junior RC Rocket Glider event for the first time at the World Championships. “(My dad) introduced this to me when I was very young, so I stuck with it because it was interesting and it’s just fun to see (the rockets) go off and just fly them around,” Katie said.
FIRST FLIGHT

Ryan, a software engineer at Salesforce, has been building and flying model rockets since 1990, when he and a few friends formed a rocketry club, Laünch Crüe, in their hometown of Holland, Ind. To create a National Association of Rocketry-approved club, NAR requires that at least one member be 21 years old, so Ryan recruited his dad to join. “I’d always been into space, like space shuttles and that kind of stuff, so I thought that was pretty neat,” he said. Ryan passed down his passion to Katie. “I started with her when she was 4 with this little paper rocket that you actually print the plans out on a printer on cardstock, and she cut it out, folded it and glued it together,” he said. “It shoots up 20 or 30 feet and then flutters down.” By the time Katie was 6, she had already qualified for an event at the 2010 World Championships. The Woebkenberg family has since traveled all across the U.S. for meets. “It’s been so interesting, because not only do I get a chance to watch Katie grow up in this, but all the other kids that are flying as well,” said Katie’s mother, Amy, a nurse practitioner. “That’s been really interesting. There’s such a camaraderie in this sport that it’s almost like when you do go to these contests that you’re going to a family reunion because you just get to know everybody so well.” Amy and Katie want to launch a model rocketry club this year at Carmel High School, where Katie will be a freshman, to educate and encourage young men and women to get involved in the sport.

NEXT STOP
Katie and Ryan will compete at the Aug. 2 World Championships. Throughout July, they are building their rockets and fine-tuning their skills. Ryan said they will focus on repetition and flight in the wind. “(The toughest part is) probably learning to fly during windy times, because (the rocket) just goes everywhere and it doesn’t let you do anything because it’s pushing against you or it’s pushing you somewhere you don’t want to go,” Katie said. Rocket gliders shoot into the sky from a launch pad using a model rocket engine, then glide down to the ground. RC, signifying radio-controlled, allows Katie and Ryan to use a transmitter to send signals to a receiver on their model to control is direction, height and roll. The objective of Katie’s event is to launch straight, fly for six minutes or more and land as close to a marked area as she can. Ryan must fly for six minutes before landing in the marked spot. He will incur a point deduction for each second over six minutes. “There are not a whole lot of people who fly that,” he said. “Maybe only two dozen people in the country.” After the competition, the Woebkenbergs will spend a week traveling through Germany and Amsterdam. “I’m really excited to go to Germany, because they have a lot of cool stuff there, the towns, especially, and the culture,” Katie said. “I’m really interested in Germany’s culture.”

Teachers learn new tech
Project benefits middle schools
By Jasmine Hsu • news@currentincarmel.com More than 600 teachers from Carmel and across the nation gathered July 11 at Clay Middle School for an annual conference on using technology in the EDUCATION classroom. The fifth annual C4 Conference, which stands for connect, collect, collaborate and create, is one of 19 Summer of eLearning conferences held across the state. The keynote speaker was Holly Clark, a Google-Certified Innovator known for her book, “The Google Infused Classroom.” “The conference is an exciting and invigorating event that gave teachers time to collaborate with colleagues, grow their (professional learning network) and be inspired to bring new ideas into their classrooms,” said Anne Arroyo, Carmel Clay Schools director of curriculum, instruction and assessment and event coordinator. This year’s event featured 89 presenters and more than 100 sessions for attendees to choose from, including a new Innovation Zone, where teachers participated in educational technology-themed activities. “Last year, we focused on virtual and augmented reality. This year, we will be focusing on computer science/STEM,” Arroyo said. “Teachers had opportunities to make binary bracelets, engage in a design challenge with paper planes, code themselves through an off-line floor maze, code Finch robots and participate in a lines of code challenge.” John Love, a media specialist at Carmel

High School, attended for the first time and was a presenter. “I think that there is so much to learn from not only our students that are going to benefit from this, but also from the teachers and presenters,” Love said. “My hope is that I can incorporate what I saw into lessons that I might teach or design.” Another teacher who is eager to implement technology in the classroom is CHS Chinese language teacher Tungfen Lee. “I wanted to find some inspiration and ideas for next school year. This is my fourth year coming, and every year I learn something new from the teachers,” Lee said. “I don’t expect to digest everything I learned but want to think about one or two interesting things to incorporate into my teaching plan for the coming school years.”
Alex Rushinsky loves track and field, and he wanted to find a way to give back to his Creekside Middle SHOT PUT School team before starting his freshman year at Carmel High School this fall. So Rushinsky, a member of Boy Scout Troop 112, set out to fix a problem with one of his favorite athletic events: shot put. Athletes at Carmel middle schools would get dirty finding and tracking shot puts thrown into a muddy area, so he decided to build new 60-foot pits at each campus. The schools did not have the funding to fix the problem, which Rushinsky estimated would have cost approximately $40,000 to have done professionally. But with the help of 40 friends, family members and fellow Boy Scouts, Rushinsky coordinated the removal of 20 tons of sand at each middle school and installation of crushed limestone between July 5 and 7. He estimates the project took 368 hours of labor and $1,200 in materials. The limestone was donated, but Rushinsky is

selling popcorn and working odd jobs to try to pay back the cost of the rest of the equipment. Rushinsky said the entire process was a challenge but also a great way to give back to his teammates and coaches who made a big difference in his life. “I wanted to build it to encourage people to join throwing, because it’s an important part of track and field that most people don’t know about,” he said.

Personal insecurities Commentary by Terry Anker
Long lines and minor indignities have become a part of the national ethos in the wake of countless incidences 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. Still, if possessed by anxiety of the perils of the world around us, do we give up too much? If we fear growth, we are protected from its jeopardies but stunted in our development. Do our personal insecurities 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? Is it like our complaining about how insecure we are in our snug, skinny suit rather than spending the energy counting calories and planning the next day’s meals? Sure, we have come to rely on natural tendencies toward insecurity to keep us safe. But, do we hide behind them?

Be realistic about weight-loss goals Commentary by Daniel Miller Weight-loss promotions are a common theme of many articles and advertisements. They are usuBODY IMAGE ally directed toward women and focus on a specific low-calorie diet plan. Recently, a ‘drop 19 pounds in 10 days’ magazine headline caught my eye. Maybe it was referring to dropping 19 pounds of water into a water basin over a period of 10 days. I hope that is the case, because promoting a weight-loss plan where 19 pounds of fat is lost in a period of 10 days is pure and complete ignorance. One pound of fat stored in the body is equivalent to 3,500 calories of energy. To lose 19 pounds of fat, you would have to metabolize 66,500 calories of energy. Over a 10-day period you would need to run 665 miles, or 66.5 miles per day. I am not a huge fan of distance running, but the weightlifting, swimming or biking equivalents also would be impossible. Losing 19 pounds in 10 days would require lost water weight as well as muscle mass. It is common knowledge that adequate hydration is necessary for a healthy body. Unfortunately, the number on the scales often matters more to some than adequate hydration. It should be common
knowledge that maintaining muscle mass is necessary for a healthy body. Unfortunately, the social push for a skinny body image matters more than adequate muscle tissue. Extreme diets will force the body to burn the next most convenient fuel source, your own muscle tissue. Burning muscle mass is unfortunate, but the final straw is the energy drain you are imposing on your internal organs. Your GI tract will not process food as quickly, and your body will become more apt to store as much energy as possible. If there is ever an abundance of carbohydrates available, as much energy as possible will be stored as fat. Even losing 19 pounds in 30 days would likely be shortlived, which is why this type of dieting is frequently part of the ‘yo-yo’ effect. If you are exploring weight loss options, initial goals should include building muscle mass in order to support your healthy body. As you continue a consistent exercise routine you will begin to use stored energy within your fat tissue to achieve your goals.

Can you solve this problem? Six family members need to be at 27 places throughout the day. There are only three cars, one of which has a broHUMOR ken fuel gauge and no AC. The youngest, who cannot legally drive, and the second son are scheduled to work at noon. The older daughter, who’s had her license for all five days and is highly questionable in even a smidgeon of traffic, has color guard at 10 a.m. but will need lunch at 1:30 p.m. The first born, owner of the aforementioned janky car and part-time salesman for Cutco, has two appointments with potential knife-buying customers and “thinks” he’s out of gas. The father, whose office is the farthest away, prefers to retain transportation. The mother’s schedule is flexible, but if she’s required to negotiate too many roundabouts in high heat she’ll experience acute nausea (the struggle is real!). The question is, how does this family survive the summer while staying fully employed and out of therapy? Such is my daily logistical nightmare. Every morning I consult my calendar and try to determine the best strategy for using our limited vehicular resources. Sometimes, we can rely on grandparents or friends to help, but usually it’s me orchestrating some major mommy magic to get everyone to and from work/practice on time and without sibling infighting. My younger son assures me that within the month he’ll have enough cash to buy his own ride, but that still leaves the rest of the summer for my role as miracle maker. So, if you can solve this problem, contact me immediately. And seriously consider law school. You’d crush the LSAT. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

READERS’ VIEWS Trump should be recognized for donating salary Editor, The Trump administration recently released its annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees. The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause. See below. The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money than Obama was. The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million compared to $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million. Here are some other key findings: There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.

cated to the first lady of the United States. Currently, there are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump compared to 44 staffers who served Michelle Obama. However, it’s what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking. Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the Dept. of the Interior, where it will be used for construction and repair needs at military cemeteries. Amazing! It’s so great to have a president who loves our brave military men and women so much! Oh, and where’s the media coverage of this? That’s right, they don’t cover anything decent that the president does. But we will! Please, pass this message on to all your email pals and others. Together, we’ll get the message out. James L. Bauerle, Carmel
Coverage of Democratic candidates appreciated Editor, I wrote earlier this year when I was disappointed that the Democratic primary candidates were omitted from the election edition. I was encouraged by the apology
that came later in regard to that omission, and I appreciate that you included an article about Dee Thornton in this week’s edition. Thank you. Emmi Perrin, Carmel
Orchard Park building can fill a need Editor, I have read the Current in Carmel article dated July 17, 2018, regarding the closure of Orchard Park School. I would like to express my thoughts on the re-purposing of Orchard Park School. This school building is an important structure that could be extremely helpful to the Carmel and Hamilton County community. There are not-for-profit organizations that need small meeting, large conference and/or auditorium space for a reasonable fee or no fee. This is very difficult to obtain in Carmel. Perhaps with the concept of the space being managed by the Carmel Clay
Parks & Recreation this could be a community benefit. I have tried the Monon Center and have found it heavily booked and high priced for a weekly meeting need. Another use is for additional entrepreneur space whether that is for business development, engineering or the arts (the entire STEAM spectrum). I am sure there must be other community needs for this type of all-inclusive existing structure. Please take a view of the entire community and how this type of structure can enhance the capabilities of community groups working in support of others. Patrice Waidner, Carmel

When our new washer and dryer arrived last week, I watched as the two behemoths were installed by two other beHUMOR hemoths. “Don’t I get instructions?” I asked before they left. I was handed a 94-page manual. In four languages. Our laundry room resembles the cockpit of a 747. Between the two machines there are more than three dozen buttons. They light up when touched and emit a series of short, annoying beeps, as if trying to communicate with me like in the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Our old washer had two settings. Going from a normal cycle to a gentle cycle is not something a man does lightly, so I never messed with that. My wife sometimes ventured there, but for the most part, the Wolfsies put a normal spin on things. These machines look so imposing, we were afraid to go into the room. We walked back and forth in front of the door for several days, avoiding the inevitable. Things were piling up outside and I knew we couldn’t hold out indefinitely. But I didn’t want to be first — nor did Mary Ellen. I scanned the buttons and eyed the options like silk, quick wash and wool. One setting said hand washables, but I’m not going to stick my mitts in there while that monster is turning. The setting for bulky items scares the cat half to death. One setting says sanitize, which I had thought was a given for every cycle. The dryer has a setting called super-hot, which I told my wife was especially for her. If we had been in a fancy restaurant with a glass of wine, that might have gone over well, but we were standing in a room kneedeep in dirty sheets and pillowcases. My favorite button is the one that adjusts the volume of the other buttons, so if you are down in the basement you can hear the machine upstairs alerting you that your clothes are done. I’m amazed Mary Ellen and I ever managed without this feature. I have to go now. My socks are calling.

By Maria Cook • news@currentincarmel.com Porkopolis recently opened its doors in Carmel, making Indiana the only other state besides Arizona to be home to the barbeque chain. NOW OPEN The concept for the restaurant, however, originated in the Midwest. “Porkopolis” is a nickname for Cincinnati, and for co-owner Matt Hamilton, Ohio barbeque was the starting point for some of the restaurant’s unique dishes. “We like to call it the evolution of barbeque,” Hamilton said. “Barbeque means a lot of different things to different people. Growing up in Ohio, barbeque meant that you were going to fire up the Weber Grill and do burgers and hot dogs. We have kind of evolved that. We play with it. We create unique dishes like our smoked meatloaf,
our redneck tacos and barbeque jambalaya, unique dishes that complement the smoked meat.” Although meatloaf, tacos and jambalaya aren’t typical items on a barbeque menu, Hamilton said Porkopolis serves plenty of barbeque staples, such as baby back ribs and brisket. “Most people gravitate toward the traditional items on their first or second visit, but after that, they branch out and try things like the Brady bacon burger, the brisket salad with candied pecans and strawberries, or one of the jambalayas,” Hamilton said. Porkopolis is running several promotions throughout the summer to attract Carmel customers who may not have dined there before. The Summer of Classics deal offers a three-meat platter with two sides for $20. Porkopolis also offers dine-in and carry-out as well as catering.

Doctor’s pain leads to new brace By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com An idea for a new medical device started when Dr. Patrick DeHeer, a podiatrist, suffered from posterior tibial PODIATRY tendonitis, a common foot and ankle problem, after taking up running. He tried everything to alleviate the pain, including a night splint. “They’re not super helpful to sleep with. Patients are always complaining about waking up with them,” said DeHeer, a Westfield resident. “I woke up in the middle of the night and was sleeping on my side with my knee bent and realized it wasn’t doing anything, because to effectively stretch your calf muscle, you have to have the knee fully extended. That’s where I came up with the idea.” So, he began working with others to create a better device, and nearly five years later came up with The Equinus Brace. His partners in IQ Med Inc. are Carmel residents John Moorin, who owns another medical distribution business, and Ricky Heath. The Equinus Brace helps Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and other foot issues. The name is based on equines because horses often walk on their toes. Likewise, many

humans lean too far forward when walking. Moorin said a doctor typically sends patients to physical therapy and shows them several stretches, but the likelihood is the patient won’t do them properly or as often as needed. Moorin said the brace is a better way to stretch. He said the patient wears the brace for 45 minutes to an hour a day. “We are getting testimonials from people all over the country. Because it works, it is starting to get an engine,” Moorin said. By the end of the year, IQ Med plans to have consumer braces it can sell without going through a doctor.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Justin Park is hoping his success will inspire other high school filmmakers. The 2018 Carmel High School FILM graduate has directed a narrative short film, “You’ve Been On My Mind,” that will be screened during the Indy Shorts International Film Festival, set for July 26 to 29 at the Newfields at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The event is presented by the Heartland Film Festival. “It’s sort of in that style of musical from the 1960s,” Park said. “One of the most unique things about the film is not only is the cast and crew from the high school, we also had the music composed and produced by high school students.” The movie is just under 8 minutes. Emma Hedrick, another 2018 CHS graduate, composed the title track, “You’ve Been On My Mind.” “The film itself has been a longer project. It’s been over a year,” Hedrick said. “Originally, when Justin asked me to compose for the film, I wrote something and that didn’t take very long. I worked on it for an hour or so in study hall time. Then I worked with it in a small jazz band time arrangement. We recorded it and I forgot about it. Justin was filming additional scenes, so I sent him a voice memo with lyrics I wrote to go along with it, and he really liked the lyrics. So, we had to rerecord with the lyrics and did a smaller combo. The original one was mostly horns playing the melody.” Hedrick is headed to the University of Miami to study vocal jazz performance. Park, whose film “Kara Deady: The Pole Vaulter” was the Indiana Documentary winner in the High School Film Competition at Heartland in 2017, is going to study film at New York University this fall. “This is the first time we’re showing it to the general public, and we hope they enjoy watching it and they can appreciate all of our hard work,” Park said. “I hope our film can inspire other high school filmmakers that they can do bigger projects.

Just because they are a high school student doesn’t mean we have to do smaller shows. We put together a team of people of different backgrounds and interests and we’re all excelling in our fields. We’ve managed to come together as a team and complete this project.” The film will be shown at 4:45 p.m. July 27 and 12 p.m. July 28 at DeBoest Lecture Hall. ‘Grateful’ set for film festival Park was director of photography for another film, “Grateful.” “It wasn’t easy to balance both things together,” Park said. “Grateful” is a 17-minute documentary, which chronicles the story of Jenni Berebitsky, who is battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Berebitsky, 42, was diagnosed nine years ago in March of 2009. At the time, she was told by a doctor she had 18 to 24 months to live.

ATI seeks to increase fan base By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Actors Theatre of Indiana started in 2005, its productions were held all across the Indianapolis area. AUDIENCE When the Center for the Performing Arts opened in Carmel in 2011, the Studio Theater became ATI’s permanent home. However, ATI agreed to present a show in Indianapolis when operators of the District Theatre asked ATI to present the first show at the newly renovated Indianapolis theater on 627 Massachusetts Ave., formerly Theatre on the Square. “We are big on this regionalization of the arts,” ATI Executive Director Jim Reilly said. “We’re are trying to take down the barrier at 96th Street. About 10 percent of our subscribers come from Marion County.” ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald, Don Farrell and Cynthia Collins appear along with Logan Moore in “Forbidden Broadway,” which opened July 5. The musical comedy has five more performances before its run concludes July 29. “In a way, we’re re-introducing ourselves to Indianapolis,” Farrell said. “We want to

continue to build our audience base and let people know there is theater going on above the 96th Street border. There is sometimes negativity with Indianapolis versus Carmel. I love all the people at IRT, Phoenix Theater and Beef & Boards.” ATI will conclude its 2018-19 season with an updated version of “Forbidden Broadway” April 26 to May 19, 2019. Billy Kimmel, who has acted in “Forbidden Broadway” through the years, is directing and choreographing the District Theatre version as well as the updated one.

‘Soul Sisters’ features dance blend By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dance Kaleidoscope’s “Soul Sisters” features a unique blend of dances to the music of Ella Fitzgerald, JaPERFORMANCE nis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. “This is the first time these three pieces have been performed together and they really complement each other,” Dance Kaleidoscope Marketing Director Paul Hansen said. The performances are set for 8 p.m. Aug. 4 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 5 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. David Hochoy choreographed the piece. Jillian Godwin performs to the music of Janis Joplin. “David captures the power and pain in Janis Joplin’s voice through fast, syncopated movements that go with her more upbeat songs; and slow, sensual gestures to compliment her ballads,” said Godwin, an Indianapolis resident. Godwin said Joplin’s songs provide the inspiration with the rawness in her voice. “I try to channel her pain in a solo I get to perform to ‘Me and Bobby McGee,’” Godwin

said. “We’ve all experienced people who ebb and flow in and out of our lives, leaving us feeling empty, longing for their touch or yearning to hear their voice one last time. I draw on my own experiences as well to depict a story of love, loss and acceptance.” Hochoy serves as choreographer for the Fitzgerald piece. Nicholas A. Owens is the choreographer for Franklin’s portion of the show. Hansen said the company usually performs once a year at the Center for the Performing Arts. “The stage is so beautiful, and dance looks great there,” Hansen said. “We’re happy to give our patrons a chance to see us at a different venue.”

Enter the SOLUTIONeering Zone Commentary by Randy Sorrell Imagine, if you will, a different time and a different place where you happily transition from your back door OUTDOOR LIVING to a space which incredibly and seamlessly extends your interior living area. It’s a place where you happily relax and feel rejuvenated at the end of a long day. You’ve just entered the SOLUTIONeering Zone! The owners of a Carmel home once were greeted by a tired wood deck that required lots of maintenance and offered no respite. The backyard was transformed into a space that offers a variety of zones for relaxation and contemplation. It also offers a place for the kids to safely play without fear of splinters. There is a grilling zone, a wraparound drink counter, a generous zone for
outdoor furniture/dining, and a fire feature that straddles the line between patio and lawn with natural boulders for seating on the lawn side. MATERIALS Cut Indiana limestone was employed for the landing steps to the back screen porch and spills out to the large play space in the lawn. Notice the clean clay pavers, decomposed granite path and flagstone coutners? The material selection is just forward enough to offer interest yet pays respect to the home and neighborhood. This just happened in the SOLUTIONeering Zone. Stay home. Be Moved. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel homeimprovement firm. He may be reached at 317-679-2565, randy@choosesurroundings.com or www.choosesurroundings.com.
