The sixth annual Carmel 5k for Haiti will be at 8 a.m. on Aug. 3 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. fundraiser Some of the proceeds from the race will go to the non-for-profit organization Gift of Water. This organization provides clean drinking water to the people of Haiti by creating cheap water filtration systems using two buckets with simple filters and the addition of chlorine tablets.

“People in Haiti are afraid to drink water because of illness,” said the Race Director, Jeff Hess. “This system can take muddy, dirty water and filter it to be good clean drinking water.”

The rest of the proceeds from the race are used during the church mission trips to Haiti. Sometimes the funds are used to buy simple medical supplies like Band-Aids, Neosporin, or ibuprofen.

“Whether someone is religious or not religious, the good thing about this race is that all the money goes directly to Haiti and affects the people,” Hess said.

For hardcore runners, chip timing is going to be provided by End:Result. An electronic chip is tied to the runners’ shoelaces and their running time is

recorded from the time they cross the starting mat to when they run across the finish line. In addition, as of last year, the course was certified as being exactly five kilometers in length. One of the sponsors, Blue Mile, donated gift certificates for the top female and male finishers. There also will be plaque winners for the team with the most members and for the team with the most spirit.

Hess, a runner for 13 years, found himself wanting to reach out to Haiti after he heard someone speak about the third-world country at his church around eight years ago.

“I took my passion for running and desire to help Haiti to create the 5k,” he said.

In addition to being a busy father of four, Hess is directing the 5k for his sixth year.

“Whether you’re a runner wanting to get a personal record for your time, or you want to support Haiti, this race speaks to people of all interests,” Hess said.

Registration fees for the race, which is expected to have between 600 and 700 people in attendance, is $20 per person before July 26 and $22 per person until the day of the race.

For further information regarding the race, check online at www.Carmel5kforHaiti.org or call Jeff Hess at 250-9639.

DVD review

Hamilton County is among five growing central Indiana counties that meet federal air quality standards for particulates for the first time since 2004, allowing the state to approve economic development projects that might pollute the air.

“Pacific Rim” director Guillermo del Toro’s 2001 minor masterpiece, “The Devil’s Backbone” has been issued as a Criterion Collection – the gold standard for video releases. It comes with a host of extra goodies, in addition to a sumptuous transfer of the film.

Carmel Clay School Board recap What happened: The district received an update on the administrator retreat What it means: Administrators attended a collaborative learning retreat July 17-18 in response to a districtwide request to increase this element in school improvement plans. Attendees participated in team activities designed to encourage problemsolving. Coaching workshops led by business professionals demonstrated strategies for analyzing student data to apply teaching tools.

All members supported the choice. “I think the National Geographic choice is great,” said Pam Knowles. “My (former) students really enjoyed and learned from this series.”

What happened: Non-teaching staff salary adjustments were approved What it means: All board members approved the salary and benefit proposal for support staff, administrators, nurses and student service coordinators. It includes a 1-percent salary increase effective retroactive to January 2013.

Administrators earned board approval after two board meetings and discussions both in workshops and through e-mail. “Hopefully, we’ve structured this in a way to address the issues and questions (the school board) raised,” Interim Supt.

“Our goal was to refine these skills for leading and coaching teachers toward implementing collaborative learning,” said Asst. Superintendent Amy Dudley.

“Collaborative learning is a critical component of responsive instruction,” she said. “And we want to kick the school year off using these tools.”

“I appreciate the administration taking the time to reflect on the questions and concerns the board had,” said board president Layla Spanenberg. “And bringing forward a proposal that does most closely mirror that of the (Carmel Clay Education) association’s last best offer.”

Patricia Hackett called the proposal “a prudent use of tax dollars.” Kathie Freed received nods of agreement from all board members as she said, “We do value our employees and we hope we can show that in our upcoming (collective bargaining unit) negotiations.”

2014 budget discussions begin

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Members of the City Council heard presentations of proposed budgets for 2014 from city and county department heads at workshop meetings last Tuesday and government Thursday.

Overall, there were few dramatic changes from 2013 numbers.

Increases: • The police department has requested an increase for one additional sworn officer.

• The streets department has requested funding to replace five salt trucks.

• City attorney Doug Haney has requested a budget increase to hire an additional assistant city attorney.

• Almost every department built in additional amounts for health insurance due to the affordable health care act.

• The fire department’s ambulance fund request increased by 45 percent.

Decreases: The Carmel Redevelopment Commission’s budget decreased by 5 percent due to the fact that they will share office space with Carmel City Utilities.

Discussion: Regarding the City attorney’s request: Councilor Ron Carter questioned the need for an additional assistant city attorney and also asked

for itemization of the city attorney’s travel and education line item. Mayor Jim Brainard stated that he believed that Carmel has fewer city attorneys than cities half the size of Carmel, and that inside counsel is generally a fourth of the cost of outside counsel.

Illinois Street: Council President Sharp expressed concern about the progress on Illinois Street construction and stated that failure to have it completed by 2015 would be “a disaster.”

He stated that he felt the movement of utilities should start as soon as possible. Brainard responded that construction is less expensive in the spring and that work should commence at that time. There is still budget disagreement as to how the work will be funded.

General Notes: • City Council did not request pay increases.

• Council President Rick Sharp asked that a request for proposal for the city’s website maintenance be generated.

What’s Next?

• In September, finalized budget proposals will be published with a notice to taxpayers of a public hearing. In October, county fiscal bodies will review the budget proposals and make recommendations and hear appeals.

• Oct. 29 is the last day taxpayers may object to any budget proposals.

• Final budgets will be adopted Nov. 1.

Wise House is township’s oldest

Commentary by the Carmel Clay Historical Society The George Wise house is at 10760 Hazel Dell Parkway and is the home of the oldest property settled in Clay Township. The History land, originally belonging to the Delaware Indians, was ceded to the United States when the Delaware Indian Chief, Jean de Baptiste de Richardville and Indiana’s first Governor, Jonathan Jennings, signed the Treaty of St Mary’s on Oct. 6, 1818. The Wise family of Ross County, Ohio, came west to Indiana and began settling in two locations along the White River. One site was in what is now known as Perkinsville and the other location is on the river’s west bank between 106th and 116th streets.

The Carmel Clay Historical Society is interested in seeing this house at the very top of the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission’s list because it is the oldest property in the first settlement in Clay Township. The house was home to the oldest settler in Hamilton County – Henry Wise, born in 1742. The current

house was built between 1822 and 1836. And, in 1837, a subscription school was taught in a log cabin on this land.

The Wise property predates the 1822 Silas Moffit farm by four years. And, portions of the Wise home may predate the 1823 William Conner home by five years. The land was even settled six years before Delaware Indiana George Ketcham began clearing his land in 1824.

There are several threats to the property’s historic preservation including neglect, encroachment by nearby quarry operations, potential demolition and lack of public awareness of the significance of this property. The Carmel Clay Historical Society recommends securing National Landmark Historic District status for a new Delaware Treaty Historic District along the west bank of the White River to include both the Silas Moffitt and the George Wise houses.

The only way to learn about our history is to document it and share it. Creating a well-known identity for these properties will be a long start in securing a future for our past.

A thank you to all

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

and first-aid stations along our parade route.

Hopefully your kids enjoyed the work of Peter Primason in the Kidzone. He made sure they were bounced and dizzied.

With four stages, it took a team to make it rock. Sue Westermeier, Brian Carriger and Dan Chester headed up our Entertainment Committee. Marnie Glanner and Tatyana Komorova organized the popular CarmelFest Has Talent. Bryan Ferry made everything cooler in the North Zone.

Behind the scenes it would normally take an army but we have Gary Sexton and Mike Jeeter.

They are responsible for facilities and anything the team can throw at them. Two amazingly resourceful and calm men who come through no matter what the request. Our Development Team of Jason Randlett and Andrew Nisenshal raised enough money from our beloved corporate sponsors to make sure there was a CarmelFest this year. They pulled it in and Ann Baker counted it and deposited it. And finally, our Transportation Director Randy Sorrell made sure everyone got to where they needed to go, on time and in one piece.

Thank you to every volunteer, sponsor City Employee and guest who celebrated CarmelFest’s 25th anniversary.

If you were one of the only 10 to 12 people who didn’t attend Rotary Club of Carmel’s CarmelFest this year, we carmelfest missed you. Although I am not absolutely sure there were only 12 Carmelites missing from the largest party in Carmel, it sure did feel like it.

The credit for any success goes entirely to the dedicated volunteers who make up the core CarmelFest Operating Committee. The Committee is made up of division leaders who manage teams responsible for specific CarmelFest attractions or operational areas. Sally Bauer and LeAnn Wischmeyer managed the Volunteer Corp.

It takes more than 300 people willing to serve 2 to 4 hour shifts directing traffic, selling Kidzone tickets or emptying trash cans. Sally also worked with Rodney Mileski of Connection Church who brought us 56 high school students from Texas to work CarmelFest.

The parade stepped off under the direction of Peggy Powell. Assisting her in key roles were Bec Hunter, Kurt Rupenthal and Barbara Ellis.

If you enjoyed visiting the Marketplace booths around the fountain, you can thank Kay and Doug Thompson for the great selection. Or, if you ate too many elephant ears or regret the third Lemonade Shake-Up, blame Food Committee Chairman Jon Olson. The guy with the coolest job was Paul Shulte, providing ice to food vendors

GEICO building community in city

By Katy Frantz • news@currentincarmel.com

GEICO is thankful to the Carmel community for the “warm welcome and hospitality” shown to the thriving auto insurance company since it has moved into the now open neighborhood.

Gov. Mike Pence joined billionaire investor Warren Buffett, the chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway, executives from GEICO, and Mayor Jim Brainard in Carmel on July 22 for a ribbon cutting ceremony at GEICO’s new service center at 101 W. 103rd St. The Washington D.C.-based auto insurer, established in 1936, began its relationship with Buffett in 1951. At the time Buffett, a student at Columbia, took an interest in GEICO, then known as Government Employees Insurance Co. In 1996, GEICO became a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. Now GEICO is recognized as one of the “fastest growing” major auto insurers in the United States and is starting an office in Carmel that will house up to approximately 1,200 employees by 2016.

Tony Nicely, GEICO’s chairman and CEO, and his management group considered three other states before settling on Indiana as the location for its new customer service center.

“We like Indiana,” Buffett said. “Tony had my vote from the start, but it was Tony’s decision.”

sional insurance agents, training and supervisory teams, additional management and support staff.

The goal is to reach 400 new employees by the end of this year.

“We’re going to have enough space to hire a lot of people,” Nicely said. “We’re planning on a long siege here in Indiana.”

GEICO also has begun seeking ways to serve the community. Even now, research is being done by GEICO employees on how to “give back to the community.”

“If you check the communities that we are already in, you’ll see GEICO is probably, if not the top, one of the top supporters in all the local activities,” Nicely said.

“GEICO participates in the community every place they are,” Buffett said. “People who go to work with GEICO, stay with GEICO. We develop a strong community interest even within the company.”

Carmel has worked with the private sector to ensure there are housing options and other amenities for those new employees moving into the area. Brainard sees the coming of GEICO as a step forward for Carmel.

“If we didn’t have the workforce for GEICO, they wouldn’t be here,” he said. “We are now competing with some of the best places in the United States for the best and brightest employees. With that workforce we can say, ‘If you locate here, you’ll be able to hire the employees you need here.’”

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com The Creekside Middle School Wind Symphony has earned an invitation to perform at the 67th Annual Midwest cover story Clinic Conference. Each December, this international band and orchestra conference draws more than 16,000 people from across the U.S. and 30 countries to Chicago’s McCormick Place.

Under the direction of Wendy Higdon and Chris Grifa, 64 Wind Symphony members will perform in a 45-minute evening program Dec. 20.

“Directors at every level throughout, not just the United States, but the world, aspire Higdon to have a group perform at the Midwest Clinic because it’s held in such high esteem in the professional world around the globe,” Ray Cramer, Director of Bands Emeritus at Indiana University, and Midwest Clinic board member, stated in Grifa the clinic’s promotional video.

The event’s website emphasized “the selected performance groups represent the finest ensembles imaginable.” The audition process required both CD and DVD submissions, an application, and recommendations from other directors by a March deadline.

“We spent quite a bit of time reading through the rules regarding the very extensive application process,” said director and Unified Arts Dept.

Chair Higdon. “(We) even attended a workshop which focused on everything from rules for applying, to tips on the recording process, to music

selection.”

Wind Symphony’s audition included “Cajun Folk Songs” by Frank Ticheli and a traditional military style march, “Call to Victory” by Karl King from 1942.

“This (Ticheli) piece is a two-movement work that includes two wonderful folk tunes that are part of the musical fabric and history of the Cajun people,” Higdon said.

Only 38 performing groups were selected from numerous international submissions. This year’s winning groups range from elementary schools to professional ensembles and includes the United States Navy Band, the United States Army Orchestra and Bogota’s Javeriana University Symphonic Band.

Wind Symphony’s first audition in 2011 was primarily a trial run.

“It’s extraordinarily rare for a group to be selected to perform at The Midwest Clinic the first time that they apply, but everyone has to start

somewhere,” Higdon said.

Though their first recording didn’t claim a clinic spot, it did earn an invitation to perform at the January 2013 Indiana Music Education Conference in Fort Wayne.

“After that performance, we went into intensive preparations for our (2013) Midwest audition,” Higdon said. “Our students did everything we asked of them without fail. They had great attitude and never let us down.”

Fifty-one of the students who performed on the audition will be in high school this fall, so twelve students who experienced the audition process remain. As the band seeks to “develop uniformity of sound” both directors agreed “the leadership of those (twelve) students will benefit the group greatly.”

Second-year percussionist Sydney Holtzapple has taken drum lessons since third grade with a focus on the snare. For the performance, she’s expecting to play a variety of instruments including the snare drum, timpani, bells and xylophone.

“A lot of people don’t realize exactly how complicated it is to be a percussionist,” she said. “The percussion section as a whole keeps the beat and time going in the band, and if we get out of tempo, then so does the whole band.”

Second-year member Nicholas Leinbaugh has studied clarinet for three years and was surprised by the clinic’s invitation.

“I knew that our band was very talented, but I also knew that performing at the Midwest Clinic is a very prestigious honor and very difficult to be invited to,” he said.

“I believe that all the hard work will pay off when we are in Chicago playing in front of thousands of people,” Leinbaugh said.

First-year member Nicole DiDonna earned her position in Wind Symphony after the audition, but

will play flute in the clinic performance.

“It is a strange coincidence that both my father and I will have performed at the Midwest Clinic,” she said. Her father, Dr. Michael L. DiDonna, played at the 1985 clinic as percussionist for Morehead Junior High School’s band in El Paso, Texas.

“My dad saved the programs and everything,” DiDonna said.

“Our whole family will definitely make the trip to support the school and our daughter during the performances in Chicago,” said her mother, Danielle.

In the midst of preparations and summer band camp, Director Higdon expressed concern about $64,000 in performance expenses.

“We have a group of parents who are working hard to help the students raise the needed money,” she said. Anyone interested in supporting Wind Symphony can contact Fundraising Chair Jenell Fairman at jenell@coreplanningstrategies. com.

They’ve done their part, now they need your help. To make the trip to perform at the prestigious 67th Annual Midwest Clinic Conference in Chicago’s McCormick Place, the Creekside Middle School Wind Symphony must raise $64,000 to cover performance expenses.

Know thyself, first Commentary by Terry Anker Several years ago, my body decided that it was no longer equipped to process the boundless array of empty calories that my brain seemed to enjoy so much. While Cheetos probably aren’t an appropriate food for a 35-year-old man anyway, I did enjoy them. And for much of my life, the pounds that they might have added were dispersed through the activities of my daily life. I played competitive adult basketball, ran to and fro, and lived what might be known in the current lexicon as the active lifestyle. Yet almost by stealth attack, the bulge continues to expand.

Once I resigned myself to the fact that no amount of willpower could force my metabolism to return to its former pace, I began to look for other mechanisms to tame the ever advancing fat. Chief among them was a simple habit of weighing myself each and every morning before taking a shower. Seeing a daily number appear helped me associate a connection between my

actions and my weight. While it may not be for everyone, it did help me remain aware and therefore motivated. And, it has remained a useful tool even as I slide further into middle-age.

In a conversation with a younger friend recently, he was asking for tactics to begin his own path to age-appropriate fitness, but his ego dreaded the experience of knowing his starting number. I asked, “If you don’t know where you are, how can you ever hope to know how to get to where you want to be?”

Why do we so mightily resist understanding where we are in our relationships, in our jobs, and with our health? If it is true that ignorance is bliss, why is it so often that the ignorant are the first victims of their own disinterest?

You might have read last week that the United States Postal Service could be in for a major overhaul by 2022. U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said the move could make for a “21st-century postal service.” That’s fine, but shouldn’t the USPS become a 20th-century organization beforehand?

The headlines: Door-to-door service for homes and businesses, as well as all Saturday deliveries (except for medicines) would be eliminated. Curbside and cluster-box deliveries, such as those most Current readers already have, would become the norm. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (yes, we are laughing about that panel’s title; laugh with us) said the makeover would save $6.5 billion annually; that’s $4.5 billion for doorto-door and $2 billion for Saturday delivery.

Actually, it’s a decent move if it means taxpayers won’t be on the hook for a massive bailout, but, as we all know, that remains to be seen.

It makes good business sense to downsize, or “right-size,” the operation. After all, it’s a Titanic-like disaster now, and we all know it took only one captain to plink the iceberg and send that grand dame down. The wailing and gnashing of teeth you’re hearing, though, predictably is from the National Association of Letter Carriers (read: union), which claims such a reorganization would be tremendously harmful to small businesses, the elderly and folks living in regions with extreme weather. That’s a bunch of bunk. We’ll adapt, because there’ll be no other choice. Look, we’ve adapted to the decay of the postal service thus far, so shifting to following a streamlined version that doesn’t soak us for the tab shouldn’t be much of a problem. As much as we hate to admit it, the whole thing just makes too much sense.

Doesn’t appreciate the label Editor, A few comments on your “Take Another Shot” view. First is that gun owners going to an indoor shooting range do not pack “heat,” they carry a sidearm in an approved holster or carrying case. Second is if Blue Ash is having a noise issue it could be an indoor/outdoor range site, since every range I’ve gone to is silent from outside the building. Third is that location does not matter because when you research the shooting tragedies the shooters did not bring the weapon(s) from a range, they brought them from their home. Fourth is that trained gun users who use a range are well versed in gun use and

the damage guns can do unlike the thugs and hoodies who think guns are used to settle arguments. Lastly, with the rate of obesity, which is now a major killer of people, is it not appropriate, too, that the DQ is across the street from the mentioned funeral home.

And a note to Mina Khoury that I, like Mr. Parker, do not like being labeled as a “type of crowd” you wish not to patronize your establishment.

You do not have to worry for after I finish target practicing at the range, I will not patronize your business then or any time from now on.

Congrats to someone deserving Editor, I was thrilled to hear my 15-year-old daughter squeal as she recognized her youth group leader on the cover of this week’s Current. I am one of those old-fashioned people who believes the honor of being on the cover of a publication should be granted to someone who has some

quality or characteristic to which we would hope to aspire.

Congratulations, Hannah! Cheers to the ripple effect you have created for the kiddos in Indiana!

I can’t wait to see where all of your positivity takes you!

Lose ‘Lost’ and join the ‘Thrones’ Commentary by Danielle WIlson

My husband and I don’t watch much television. Apart from “Glee,” “Sports Center” and the occasional “30 Rock” rerun, humor we’re mostly too busy shuttling kids to and from their various practices, meetings and games. We also don’t subscribe to the movie channels, so aren’t able to catch the R-rated stuff like “Mad Men.” But this summer, we decided to plug in to pop culture, albeit a few years late, and download both the entire series of ABC’s “Lost” and the last three seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

Doo stayed up late for literally a week straight and finished the latter before I could even see the pilot. I got so angry with him that I made him wait to start “Lost” until we both had the time.

We are now six episodes in to “Lost,” but frankly, I’m not “getting it.” I like looking at Matthew Fox and that Sawyer fellow, and the scenery is beautiful, but honestly, what’s the big deal?

I’ve been told to hold out a few more episodes, that the plot thickens very shortly, but honestly, “Lost” pretty much sucks now that I’ve begun “Thrones.”

Sweet. Mercy. Baby dragons, arctic zombies and creepy old warlocks. Gratuitous violence, full frontal nudity, and British-accented foul language. Is it any wonder that I am now completely addicted to this medieval fantasy epic?

No kidding, I forgot to feed my children yester-

day. And the best part is that you never know who they’re going to kill off. Could be a character they’ve just introduced, could be the lead you’ve known since the beginning. It’s both horrible and awesome at the same time.

I also appreciate how “Throne’s” writers (or possibly the author of the book it’s based on; I’m not sure how closely the series follows George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice”) have made the women the real powerhouses. Behind every king wannabe and knight in bloodied armor is a female mastermind, using her seductive wiles to manipulate, plot, and ultimately control the playing field. Sure the ladies are usually naked, but any smart viewer can recognize who’s ultimately in control. (You go, Khaleesi!) Plus, there is no shortage of amazing redheaded characters, saving the world per our usual M.O. and making it look good in the process.

If you don’t watch “Game of Thrones,” I highly recommend downloading the first few episodes.

You’ll probably be offended, disgusted and embarrassed, but if you are anything like me and appreciate stay-cations through television, you’ll also be incredibly entertained. Peace out.

After three decades of togetherness, my wife and I have some serious questions about whether our relationship can really humor continue any longer when we have such a fundamental disagreement about one aspect of our marital life: popcorn.

Everything about popcorn from the moment we get in the car to go to the movies to the point when the movie has ended creates a disharmony in our otherwise perfect union.

“You’re not going to get popcorn this time, are you, Mary Ellen? We’re going out for a very expensive dinner right after the movie.”

“I have to. It’s been a movie tradition for me since high school.”

“So was necking in the balcony, but we’ve cut that out almost completely.”

Once we reach the theater, the tension rises.

“Dick, I’ll find a seat. You wait in line for the popcorn.”

“Why do I have to wait in line? I don’t want popcorn. And when I come into the dark theater you’ll forget to look around for me and I’ll walk aimlessly up and down the aisles while people stare at me and assume I’m all alone and have no one to sit with.

Of course, I do wait in line. I buy the popcorn and a drink.

“Why did you get the extra large, Dick? You know we can’t eat all that.”

“Because the extra large is only 50 cents more than the small and you get five times more popcorn. I already feel like I’m getting ripped off, and I don’t want them to get away with it. Did you know that popcorn used to be a quarter?”

“Yes, and the people in the films are talking now.”

Another issue is that my wife is a bit of a health nut so she avoids butter and salt. But popcorn with no butter and salt? You have to be kidding. Why not just tear up Styrofoam into tiny pieces and put them into a bag? Enjoy. It’ll taste the same.

And then there’s eating the popcorn. My wife takes one piece from the top of the box with two fingers, then places the popcorn in her mouth where she lets it melt on her tongue. Mary Ellen claims this gets her into a rhythm to understand and enjoy the movie. I believe this technique is practiced by a satanic cult in Utah. My wife’s right arm moves up and down next to my face about 1,100 times during the movie. I don’t remember any films I’ve seen with her because I’m hypnotized through most of them.

Indy Jazz Fest swings into Conner Prairie

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com On Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday, Aug. 3, the Indianapolis Symphony will feature a first for the Marsh Symconner prair1e phony on the Prairie series. Jazz will be the featured music when Indy Jazz Fest will present “A Salute to Indiana Composers” on the Conner Prairie Amphitheatre stage at 8 p.m.

Some of the finest musicians and singers in the state will take to the stage to pay tribute to great composers of Indiana such as Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Michael Jackson, as well as jazz titans Freddie Hubbard and Wes Montgomery. This will mark the first time in the 32-year history of Symphony on the Prairie that jazz will be the headliner of the series. For a city that is as rich in jazz history as Indianapolis, it is hard to imagine that jazz has only now found its way onto that stage.

So, why has it taken 32 years for the ISO to bring jazz to the series? ISO Director of Communications Jessica Di Santo had the same question in mind.

“I wondered how we could have missed jazz,” she said. “For the last 32 years, we have had all genres of music, but not the tried and true genre of jazz. Jazz just seemed like such a natural fit. It’s a common language. Jazz is familiar, friendly, and open. Jazz can inspire. Seeing so many young people there, some of them experi-

encing jazz for the first time is truly amazing.”

Di Santo also gave credit to Indy Jazz Fest Director David Allee for organizing the concert.

Allee, himself an accomplished jazz trumpeter, is also the owner and operator of the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis.

“He has been wonderful,” Di Santo said. “He has done so much as the creator and the producer of the event. He has really organized it for

us. We have a slate of the very best talent in this genre of music.”

The gates to the amphitheater will open at 6 p.m. each evening. Tickets are priced at $23 in advance and $28 at the gate for adults, $12 for children ages 2-12 in advance and $14 at the gate. For more information on Symphony on the Prairie including ticket and parking pass information, visit www.indianapolissymphony.org.

Performers

• Larry Crane, guitar, Best known for his 25year association with John Mellencamp, this Seymour native has also performed with Lou Reed, John Prine and Steve Earle.

• Tad Robinson, vocals, Robinson’s bluesdrenched vocals are reminiscent of Al Green, yet he also blows a mean blues harp.

• Everett Greene, vocals, Green brings a touch of elegance to the proceedings with a voice suited to diverse styles.

• Steve Allee, piano, Allee is one of the true giants of the jazz scene: a nationally renowned jazz performer, composer, and educator.

• Brandon Meeks, bass, Meeks is a respected musician and composer who brings a virtuoso style to the event.

• Kevin Anker, keys, A much sought after keyboardist, Anker is equally adept at jazz and blues.

• Scott Belk, trumpet, Both as a soloist and lead trumpet player, Belk in an demand session player and educator.

• Tom Griswold, emcee, Best known as one half of the radio team “Bob and Tom,” Griswold is also a huge jazz fan and supporter.

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

• 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.”

Swingtime hits Oak Hill Mansion

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@yoaurecurrent.com

SUNDAY BRUNCH 10-2:30PM Join us every Sunday for our Brunch Buffet that offers made-to-order omelettes and waffles, breakfast favorites, Chef specialties, salads, flatbreads, pastries and more.

On Aug. 1, Actors Theatre of Indiana and the Swingtime Orchestra from Anderson will present “Strike Up the Band!,” an evening event of dinner, dancing and entertainment at Oak Hill Mansion at 7:30 p.m.

The event will feature a cast of singers from ATI, including founder and artistic director Don Farrell, co-founders Cindy Collins and Judy Fitzgerald and company members Katie Gentry and Tim Hunt. The 10-piece Swingtime Orchestra is led by Mike Jenkins and Ernie Coleson. The show will include the music of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney and Judy Garland.

This cabaret-style show was created on the heels of the wildly successful Swingtime event offered outside of Hubbard and Cravens at the Carmel City Center in June. The organizers were hoping for 50 people. They were delighted and surprised when several hundred showed up, and enthusiastic swing dancers were cutting a rug on the City Center plaza.

“We knew then that there was a market for this kind of event,” Jim Reilly, ATI’s executive director, said. “So we’re making it bigger and better.”

The evening will start with cash bar cocktails on arrival, followed by a buffet-style dinner. Two sets of music will be presented after dinner, and dancing is encouraged.

“It’s like stepping back to a bygone era, where ladies could get dressed up and go out for a night of dinner and dancing,” Collins said.

ATI has been in Carmel since 2005. Through a sponsoring partnership with Pedcor, it has been able to adopt the old Woods Wire building in midtown as its new home. It now has offices, rehearsal space and a warehouse all under one roof. ATI plans to do more performances at the City Center. The remainder of the 2013 season will include performances of “Always… Patsy Cline” in September, “An Evening with Sutton Foster” on Oct. 5 and “The Odd Couple” in November.

Tickets for “Strike Up the Band” are $45 and can be reserved at 669-7983. More information about ATI is available at www.actorstheatreofindiana.org.

Oobatz pursues excellence

By Mark Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com

Oobatz. Upon seeing that name for the first time, one may indeed wonder exactly what does it mean?

“Oobatz,” said Kirk diversions Givens, owner and operator of the Oobatz restaurant, “It’s a slang word! It means ‘crazy’ in Italian!”

Crazy? Oobatz is anything but! This is a unique restaurant, one that creates a comfortable dining experience for families, couples and large parties.

That variety of clientele is one aspect of which Givens is particularly proud.

“We have something for everyone,” he said.

“We have the front of the restaurant which is very family-friendly. Then, on the other side, we have the bar which has an outdoor fireplace. The other bar opens to the outside with fire-lighted tables. We have the aquarium that separates the bar from the restaurant. The kids really like the aquarium, and we also have small TV’s at the tables, so the kids can watch Nickelodeon and the adults can watch ESPN.” There are also 53 plasma TV’s throughout the restaurant at 3716 E. 82nd St. in Indianapolis for those who wish to enjoy multiple sporting events.

So, getting back to the name, where exactly does the “crazy” enter into the picture?

“Well,” Givens said. “People said that we were crazy to open a new restaurant back at the

height of the recession in 2009. That was the first Oobatz in Zionsville.”

Since then, however, Givens and his wife Julie have not only found success with the first restaurant, at 1576 W. Oak St. in Zionsville, but opened the second one in Indianapolis.

What is it that draws customers to Oobatz?

“We like for our customers to have options,” Givens said. “We have 100 different menu items.

On our menu, there are $8 to $9 burgers, $6 to $10 salads, and $10 pastas. Everything is cooked fresh daily. We also want to offer different items.

Each quarter, we have new burgers and new salads. Every quarter is a different play.”

Givens also is quick to give credit to the staff for the continued success of the restaurants.

“This is a great staff,” he concludes. “We’ve good people. They’re as good a staff as you will find, and we’re very fortunate to have them.”For more information on Oobatz, visit www.oobatzrestaurant.com.

Know how to give your dog a well-care exam

Commentary by John Mikesell

There are five things to do before you call the vet about your dog’s health: Take your dog’s temperature.

If you don’t know how, you should learn. Purchase and keep an appropricanines ately sized rectal thermometer on hand; there are small sizes available for small dogs and larger one for large dogs. Have some Vaseline or KY Jelly to put on the thermometer: this makes its insertion more comfortable for the dog. Digital models may be easier to read than the reliable glass and mercury models. Plus they have the added benefit of a built-in timer. On the other hand, the glass models don’t have batteries that can die, rendering the thermometer useless.

If you’ve never taken your dog’s temperature, ask your vet or your groomer to show you how.

Note the dog’s temperature.

When your dog is not feeling well and you’re upset, you might not remember the temperature you just observed. Write it down along with the time. Keep in mind that “normal” for dogs varies a bit from about 100.5F. to about 102.5F. It would be good to know your dog’s normal temperature, so take it sometime when he is well and resting.

Check the color and wetness of the dog’s gums.

Familiarize yourself with the color of your dog’s gums when he’s well so you know what’s “normal” for him.

If, when he is not feeling well, his gums appear abnormally pale or white, he may be in or nearing shock. Brick-red gums can indicate a fever or heat stroke: yellowish gums may mean the dog is jaundiced.

When a dog is healthy, his gums should be glossy and wet. If they are sticky and dry, he may be dehydrated.

Check his capillary refill time.

Sounds technical , but it’s easy. Capillary time is how long it takes for the blood to rush back to a spot that you press on his gums; it’s a quick and fairly accurate indicator of his blood pressure. To check, press on a spot on his gums for about 3 seconds; when you release pressure, the spot should be pale where you pressed the blood out of that tissue. The spot should quickly disappear from view as the tissue refills with blood within about a second. If the spot remains pale for several seconds, your dog’s blood pressure may be dangerously low.

Make sure you are able to describe any

deviations in your dog’s diet, elimination pattern and demeanor.

Make sure you know the type and brand of food you have been feeding your dog. You should know how much your dog is usually fed and note any deviations. Also you should be able to discuss his most recent bowel movement (when it happened and the quality of the stool, whether that was different than usual) and urination (what time, how much, color).

Your ability to report all this information will help decide whether the dog should be brought to the hospital immediately, or whether he could schedule a visit for the next day. It could save you several hundred dollars.

How will new mandates affect me?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from John L. from Noblesville: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I Insurance know changes are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused.

The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out.

Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay in 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider.

With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums.

Your employer does not need to make a contribu-

tion to your premiums if you switch away from their plan. You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publicly available plans.

If you decide to check out publicly available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise.

Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter your income and family size.

Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

MAKEUP FOR TEENS Most young women are obsessed with makeup but they often don’t have the knowledge or confidence to make it work.

Teens love trying trendy colors and textures, but a fresh, young face should never be smothered in makeup.

Teens should skip an all over foundation.

Cover blemishes with a blemish stick and then dab on powder in the oily T-zone, but avoid slathering on a heavy, liquid foundation.

Makeup should also not be used to look older. This can result in an unnatural, harsh look. Keeping colors light and sheer will ensure the fresh, youthful glow still shines through.

Trick of the Trade: To avoid drawing attention to braces, skip bright lip colors!

Stick to a tinted lip balm or sheer gloss.

Maybe you always wondered…

Commentary by David Decker

Q. How often should I water my lawn?

A. Generally, twice a week unless we are receiving regular rain. outdoors Overwatering promotes a weak, topical root system that can’t respond to prolonged droughts without wasteful daily watering.

Q. Is there a secret to controlling weed growth in paver patios?

A. No secret, but it can be very annoying. Polymeric sand in the joints of the patio material helps considerably. Beyond that, arm yourself with your favorite herbicide and spray upon first sight. The majority of weed growth is caused by weed seed blowing in from your neighbors lawn or happy birds dropping presents.

Q. Should I seal my new patio to protect it?

A. Concrete and stamped concrete need sealing immediately after installation. Most pavers and natural stone do not require sealing, although a satin finish sealer can prompt the colors to pop.

Q. What’s the difference between a brick versus a paver patio?

A. Spelling only. We use the brick/paver as generic terminology, although officially a brick refers to the material used to face a home, which is not suitable for a patio surface.

Q. Is there a standard for design fees?

A. I wish. We see design fees from complimentary to more than $100 per hour. As usual, the Midwest follows the lead of Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. which have been confidently charging design fees for years, as our company does.

Q. Any easy tips to transform my stale outdoor living space without ripping out everything?

A. Retrofitting is a great strategy that encourages us to tweak your present patio material and upgrade the landscape.

Adding dramatic flowering pots and updated colorful furniture is invaluable. Never underestimate the value of a new outdoor rug or colorful cantilever umbrella.

Enjoy the summer!

Is granite or quartz a better choice for you?

Commentary by David Decker

One of the most frequently asked questions we get asked at the Affordable Companies is whether a homeowner indoors should choose granite or quartz for their home improvement project. So what is the difference between the two materials?

Granite is a naturally occurring material that is mined from the earth in large pieces, but later broken down into slabs. These granite slabs are then treated to a fine polish using a polyurethane sealer or resin. Each piece of granite is 100-percent unique. The color, grain and overall look of the stone will vary from slab to slab, even if they have been mined from the same quarry. The key to granite’s enduring popularity is its durability. If you keep your granite properly cleaned and sealed, spills and stains should not be an issue.

Quartz, on the other hand, is engineered from a combination of stone, composites and resins.

Like granite, quartz is a naturally occurring stone element. But because quartz products are partially manufactured, they have the ability to look much more uniform than granite. One of the biggest benefits would be the low maintenance factor. Quartz is nonporous, which means it will not absorb water and microbes. Additionally, it will not require sealing/re-sealing, which will save you time and money.

Granite and quartz are both good decorating options but for different reasons. (Submitted photo)

So now, with all of this background information on the two different types of stones, how do you go about choosing one that’s right for your specific project? The ideal stone choice will vary depending on usage and environmental factors.

Here are some things to keep in mind: • Granite is more heat resistant than quartz.

So you may want to select granite for kitchen countertops, if you are planning on setting hot pans directly on the stone.

• Because quartz does not need to be sealed and is nonporous, you may want to choose it for shower ledges, bathroom vanities or sink backsplashes.

• Quartz is a bit more scratch resistant than granite. This makes it a better fit for bar

ledges or other high traffic areas that may be prone to damage.

• Because granite has natural variation, be careful to select material appropriately.

All in all, both granite and quartz countertops are going to add value to your home. They will both bring a polished, natural and impressive look to any space. The decision comes down to your personal preference and the needs of your specific space.
