The name Dan Moyer likely rings familiar to many Carmel folk. He’s the one who has been in the jewelry business for almost 40 years, with profile almost 36 of them spent in Carmel. His store, Moyer Fine Jewelers, sells some of the most well-known brands of jewelry and watches from around the world. It started with a family friend. Moyer learned about that friend’s wholesale Indiana jewelry business, and he asked Moyer if he wanted to sell some for him. Moyer agreed, and started selling them as a junior in high school. After getting his finance degree from Indiana in 1979, Moyer decided that he would make selling jewelry a full-time job. So he opened his first storefront in the same storefront as a beauty salon, with most of those salon beauticians and their customers becoming his own. In 1993, he opened his current space at 146th and Meridian. Working for Mr. Moyer has been a pleasant experience for Moyer Jewelry’s graduate gemologist, Elizabeth Elliott, who joined last July. The ability to form relationships with clients is one thing that Elliott believes sets Moyer apart. An example was at last November’s “Men’s Night.” It honored a now-deceased client, also a personal friend of Elliott, who had cancer, and raised funds for his family to help with his expenses and treat-

ment. She was happy that Moyer was willing to help someone who knew her and multiple Moyer employees. Over $7,000 was raised in admission or donations for that person and/or the American Cancer Society that night. “I got the joy of seeing that given to my friend, who has since lost his battle with cancer. It’s pretty cool. Not a lot of businesses will do that,” Elliott said about Moyer’s efforts to help the client. Looking at his time as an entrepreneur and business owner, Moyer is proud of his business and its performance, but isn’t “done” yet. “I’m also not done by any means. I’m my biggest critic, I think, and I’m 58 and I feel like I’m 28 because I think there’s just so many more things I think we should be doing and how much better I think we can be than what we are,” Moyer said.

Good Samaritans honored at City Council meeting

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Two Good Samaritans were honored by the Carmel City Council on Aug. 17 for helping give CPR to a man on the recognition Monon Trail on July 4. “We are here to remind everyone what a hero looks like,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “You might think of a superhero, a police officer or a firefighter. But tonight we are reminded that heroes can be ordinary, everyday people. They are at the right place at the right time but were called to do extraordinary things.” It was a busy day on the Monon Trail. The Freedom 5K Run was going on and people were using the trail to make their way to CarmelFest. Geoffrey Robinson, of Noblesville, collapsed, and surveillance video shows that Alta Skelton and Jurga Tritenko stopped to give medical assistance. They did CPR and chest compressions until first responders arrived. They left without any acclaim, but the Carmel Fire Department later tracked down the Good Samaritans using video footage to give them the praise they deserve.

“Without the heroic actions of these Good Samaritans, the outcome could have been quite different,” Brainard said. Robinson, along with Skelton and Tritenko, stood up at the Carmel City Council meeting to receive applause from an extremely packed crowd. Many people were in attendance to speak about the city’s proposed anti-discrimination ordinance that night. “We’re proud that Carmel is a place where people answer the call to help their fellow man,” CFD Chief David Haboush said.

A rendering of the new building for Miller Auto Care. (Submitted rendering)

Midtown project set to begin

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The $150 million transformation of the Midtown area is ready to begin soon. Old Town Design Group reredevelopment cently went before the Carmel Plan Commission with detailed proposals for two of the buildings. Old Town Design Group announced in September 2014 that it will redevelop 11 acres east of the Monon Trail between the Carmel Arts & Design District and the Carmel City Center. Announced tenants include a bank headquarters, a coffee-wine bar, a co-working space and a city market. A parking garage is part of the plan, and public tax increment financing has been discussed but not voted on by the Carmel City Council. As a result, some – but not all – businesses have already begun their plans to close and relocate. This mostly affects a block of tenants on Range Line Road. Miller Auto Care is one of those businesses, which is why Old Town has submitted plans to construct a new building that will enable Miller Auto to relocate without closing. This new building, at 522 S. Range Line Road, would be built before Miller Auto Care’s existing building would be demolished to make way for a parking structure to support Mid-

town office workers. The other building that had its plans submitted will house the new headquarters for Merchants Bank. This building, at 350 1st Avenue SW, will also house a new “city market” concept that will bring together vendors for fresh produce, seafood and meat, an Indiana brewery, an Indiana-based wine producer tasting room and a bakery. Kwik-Kleen Laundry announced that it is closing for good on Aug. 31 according to signs posted all around the store. The owners had planned on selling the building even before Old Town Design announced the Midtown project. During the month of August, Kwik-Kleen staff will move equipment out and an attendant won’t always be on duty. They will relocate to 726 South 10th St. in Noblesville. Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment is also considering a move since the building will be demolished when construction begins. Owner Amanda Newman said it might be some time before construction starts and she wants her customers to know that she isn’t going anywhere just yet. “As of now, we have received no notification, phone calls or such from our landlord or the Midtown developers so we do not have a time frame,” Newman said. “However, we will hopefully have an exciting announcement (in the month of August).”

Glynn on the training center vote

Editor, Now that the training center vote is behind us, I would like to address a few things. The first issue at hand is the fire tower since it seems to be creating the most controversy. We funded the fire tower as a one-time gesture, nothing more. We felt it was important for the county to avoid becoming entangled in an open-ended long-term financial commitment. The proposal called for onsite county employees, the county to participate in ongoing operating expenses, as well as a whole new government agency to operate this training center. There has also been no explanation offered on where the other millions of dollars will come from to build the rest of the center in the future. We have been saying since January that we did not think the funding formula had

the proper expenditure balance between the county and the cities and we did not want the county involved in an open ended ongoing financial commitment. None of us wanted that type of growth in government or long-term expenses, especially since the county is not responsible for fire protection. We even offered a compromise over the last few months where we would fund $1.5 million as long as the cities did a match. This would have been a one-time expenditure and kept us out of a long- term commitment. Every time we tried to negotiate an equitable win/win solution we were rebuffed and told this is non-negotiable. For more, visit currentincarmel.com.

WHAT TO EXPECT: NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE DECREE OR COURT ORDER In most, if not all family law cases, the finalization of the divorce/case does not mean that all matters related to the case have concluded. Rather, the entry of a Court Order finalizing the matter is only a Court decision (or approval of an agreement) as to how all matters related to the case will be handled. Each Court Order contains provisions which must then be enforced in order to effectuate the decision. In many cases all provisions are carried out without issue. However, in the event either party fails to comply with the terms of the Court Order, mechanisms exist to gain an individual’s compliance. The Court can intervene after a party alleges noncompliance by the opposing party. Such an action can be initiated by filing (1) a Motion for Rule to Show Cause (commonly referred to as a “contempt” motion) notifying the Court of the issue. If the Court finds that the actions of one of the parties rises to the level of a contempt citation, a variety of penalties exist to punish the past actions and encourage future compliance with the Court Order. Parties would be well-advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with the enforcement of a Court Order as the remedies vary based upon the issue presented as well as the nature of the non-compliance itself. Enforcement of Child Support. Pursuant to Indiana Law, there are potential civil and criminal penalties for the nonpayment of child support; failure to make support payments can have serious ramifications. As the receiver of support, you may request the Court exercise its power to hold the child support payor in contempt if they are not paying the correct amount in a timely manner. If the Court finds that the support obligations have not been met, the Court may order an award or attorney fees, order that the non-paying parent perform community service, attach additional payments to catch up the support, or even, in exceptional cases, order the temporary incarceration a non-payor of support. This is not a common outcome as, frequently, it is more counter-productive, putting that person in a position to lose their employment and lose their ability to make his/her child support payments. Be aware, however, that the Court must consider whether the acts of the non-payor are willful; if the circumstances under which this person is not paying are beyond their control, the Court may not believe a contempt citation is proper.

Enforcement of Real Estate / Property Issues. If an unpaid obligation remains from a divorce, in lieu of seeking remedies as a contempt action, another option to explore is to seek an Order establishing the debt as a money judgment and enforcing it through regular collections proceedings. This change from divorce obligation to money judgment, generally, removes the contempt aspects and simply turns the debt into money with statutory interest and the ability to collect through wage and bank garnishments. This is a decision best made with careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of conversion. Additionally, when the terms of the decree are not strictly an amount owed, the option to convert to a money judgment is not appropriate. For example, if the parties agree to refinance a mortgage into one party’s name and that person subsequently does not qualify for the same, the third party (the creditor) cannot be ordered to comply with the Court Order. Therefore, the remedy requested will likely be to modify the terms of the Decree, and not to find the party in contempt. Self Help. One common (and tempting) misnomer is to try and leverage the situation by other actions such as withholding parenting time or refusing to provide information as an “incentive” to the other party to meet their obligations. These actions risk the wrath of the Court and could very well subject you to penalties as well as overshadowing the failings of the other party in the eyes of a court. Whether the remedies available through a Court seem the most efficient and effective way to deal with these issues, it is imperative that parties in family law cases understand that two wrongs really don’t make a right and one parent retaliating against the other as a substitute for bringing the issue before the Court is not likely to be tolerated the Judge.

CHS alum provides help in Nepal

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A 2012 Carmel High School grad got a firsthand look at the extreme damage caused by the April earthquake in Nepal and its lasting effects on people in helping hand the area. Rob Fauth, a Penn State senior majoring in international politics, took a three-week trip to Nepal through the humanitarian organization Thirst No More. Rob’s father, Doug Fauth, was with him for the first week and a half. His step-father, Sean Edwards, accompanied him for the remaining time. “Everybody was very welcoming to us,” Doug said. “People were literally just under a tarp with just sticks to hold it up, and they wanted to make sure we were comfortable. They wanted to share what little they had.” When Doug was there, he and Rob took transportation out to remote villages, going from house to house to meet with the residents and talk about their living situations and the damage done by the earthquake. They evaluated the temporary shelters and what the residents needed to rebuild their homes. They reported their findings to Thirst No

More, which is able to purchase the right materials and make plans to help the residents get back on their feet. Rob, 21, periodically provided updates on Facebook. “While (in Nepal), we interviewed a total of 51 families in Gimdi and some surrounding villages to assess their damage and needs going forward,” he wrote. “We were amazed at everyone’s generosity towards us and their resiliency in the face of great adversity.” Rob is still raising money for those in need.

Illness caused Jerry Points to close his Carmel gallery, but painting again has helped him heal By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com As artist Jerry Points moves his hands, he’s careful with every brush stroke. He works on big canvases now, mostly because he’s in pain. Constant pain. cover story He developed a tremor in his arm that spread into his right hand and affected some of his results in fine detail painting. But he soldiers on because his artwork helps him ignore the excruciating pain he’s been dealing with since he contracted shingles almost a year ago. “You get so involved that you forget the pain,” he said. “Right now it hurts all the time, like 24 hours.” Points was the arts advisor to the city of Carmel and worked with the gallery owners in the Arts & Design District. He organized a new outdoor painting event. He owned his gallery, Eye on Art, for about five years and was one of the early supporters of the area. But he had to give that all up back in December. His shingles became too painful and on top of that his wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He resigned from his post and closed his gallery. He said it was a big blow. He invested so much of his time in the arts community in Carmel and now he was unable to participate much. He was dealing with physical pain but also the emotional pain of being away from his passion. “For an artist it’s important to have an outlet for your work,” he said. “You can be in a lot of galleries, but you might not see the money for three to six months and then they take out a commission. But it’s not all about the money, there’s a connection to the people who come in and see your work. You just don’t have that interaction. Even the days that were slow I really enjoyed taking time to talk to people.” But that’s what had to happen. Points said doctors kept saying it was the worst case of shingles they had ever seen. He had breakouts all over his body and after 30 days he began to feel extreme nerve damage, which has improved but still lasts to this day. “The nerves feel like they are on fire,” he said. “There wasn’t one spot that didn’t completely hurt to touch. The first six months were a complete wipeout. The pain was so bad that I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do simple phone calls or simple emails. I can’t remember much of that period because of the pain.” Before he had shingles, Points was caring for his wife with Parkinson’s, but after her surgery her symptoms have improved. “For a while it absolutely switched,” he said. “I was the caretaker of her. She was going into panic attacks. I would bring her to the emergency room. She had a 12 hour panic attack that was just horrible and I was right beside her. But now

ABOUT JERRY POINTS • Favorite period of art: Pop Art Era • Favorite style of art: Expressionism • Wife: Polly, married 19 years • Previous career: Worked in advertising and design • Favorite food: Likes plain simple food, not much of a foodie • Favorite place to vacation: Hawaii • Pets: Dooley, a labradoodle • Children: Daughter, April, who lives in Germany • FROM HIS WEB SITE: “Points’ paintings have been recognized with honors from the Hoosier Salon, Indiana Heritage, and Indiana Artists exhibitions. His entries in the Hoosier Salon have won “Best Impressionistic Landscape,” “Best Dynamic Landscape” and, in 2005, his entry was selected by the Indiana State Museum for their permanent collection. Recently, his painting, “Rainbow Woods” was purchased for inclusion in the Greater Lafayette Museum’s permanent collection. As a plein air painter, he has won awards in several paint-outs, including Best of show in the Hamilton County and Zionsville Paint-Out. He was selected to participate as a guest artist in the Door County Plein Air Festival in Wisconsin in July 2011 and 2013.”

she’s kind of looking after me.” Seven months after he was diagnosed, Points began painting again. He entered some contests for plein air painting and won awards. He was a judge for the recent Carmel on Canvas event. He moved the sign from his old Eye on Art Gallery to a garage that he’s converted into his new studio. He’s represented by Editions Limited Gallery in Carmel and Castle Gallery in Fort Wayne. Interested patrons can call him at 752-1722 to set up a time to see his work. One of the most emotional pieces since his return to painting was a large self-portrait he has hanging above his bed. He said it helps express what he’s going through. “It was out of frustration more than anything else,” he said. “The striking paint across the face is a self-portrait to how I felt at the moment. Instead of giving up, I was letting go by expressing the pain through the painting.”

Tuxedo Brothers Triathlon The three top winners took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” minutes after crossing the finish line. Drew Shellenberger, Indianapolis, and David Foresee and Mike Smith, both of Carmel. said they look forward to the friendly but fierce competition at the triathlons. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” …I was cheering my heart out for the amazing participants of the Eagle Creek Sprint/ Tuxedo Brothers Triathlon. Since 1984, Tuxedo Brothers of Zionsville have managed over 1,000 events that benefit service and charitable organizations. They have learned over their 30 years of experience that to be successful events must be fun and support a worthy cause. Runners Forum, a local Carmel running store, is a long time supporter of Tuxedo Brothers races and jumped at the opportunity to not only help sponsor the event but participate as well. The race was exciting and it was fun to witness the top male and female winners pour the traditional Chocolate Milk over their heads - thanks to the American Dairy Asscociation, who also donated hundreds of cold milk to all the participants and volunteers. I also enjoyed chatting with Kent King, director of community outreach at Endurance House located in Zionsville and Fishers. King’s tent was a popular hot spot for runners and was stocked with the latest running merchandise, education and fitness information for participants. “Where’s Amy?” had a blast capturing the day with photos and encourages everyone to attend a triathlon for inspiration.

Here’s to supergirl Jenni Berebitsky and her famous “J Team” members - It’s safe to say there was a sea of brown at the race and it was electrifying.

Got milk???... Chocolate milk that is! I loved talking with Ron “The Milkman” and Jenni Browning, senior director of communications and wellness for the American Dairy Association of Indiana. They donated hundreds of ice cold bottles of Chocolate Milk for participants and volunteers.

I loved meeting these two lovely ladies - Community Hospital family doctor Susan Helsel and her daughter, Olivia. They told me they had a wonderful day and it was thrilling to experience the race together. They both worked hard and trained in Carmel where Helsel works.

Republicans: Such kidders!

We were semi-amused by a remark last week that indicated Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) shouldn’t feel overly troubled by the FBI having her computer server, because among the fervent Democrats nationally, she has “extreme enthusiasm” on her side from 33 percent. Oh, and 58 percent of Republican respondents indicated that the GOP would have a better shot at the White House were Donald Trump (R-Billions) not a candidate. Keep in mind, we wrote “Republicans,” the party of the spineless. ••• Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) is campaigning for the presidency on a number of points, including last week’s declaration that he will repeal ObamaCare (all of it), ensuring affordable and accessible health insurance for everyone. Of course, he will. There is zero percent chance of that happening with the liberal-dominated GOP. They fritter away such opportunity at every turn. ••• One of us traveled to and from coastal Virginia in the last week, and, as one might do when venturing forth from the homestead, there were comparisons made and noted. First of all, the folks encountered in Virginia were as genial as they come. That, unfortunately, was contrasted by a number of rude and inwardly focused locals at LaGuardia International Airport in New York City. Reminds us of the old line: “Excuse me, sir, would you please tell me the time, or should I just go pound sand?” Never did the traveling party feel happier to walk through the nation’s No. 1 airport, Indianapolis International, on the way to the car for the ride home.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Bradbury collection opens Commentary by Terry Anker The works of Ray Bradbury have stood the test of time. Bradbury’s works including: “The Martian Chronicles;” “Icarus Montgolfier Wright;” “Something Wicked This Way Comes;” “Fahrenheit 451” and even a script for Warner Brothers’ release of the classic “Moby Dick” still challenge us to contemplate the role of government, censorship and the aspiration that we are not alone in this universe. A few weeks back, a few civic leaders were invited to meet with the management team from Gen Con - the celebrated gaming convention often held in Indianapolis. As the conversation traversed topics as wide ranging as aggressive panhandling to hotel capacity to religious freedom, attention turned to those things that make our community unique. Reminded of a recent visit to the basement archives of IUPUI, I mentioned the repository of Bradbury’s works, personal papers, and other artifacts safeguarded at the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies hoping that the out-of-towners

might be interested in visiting the collection and seeing the treasures therein contained. Happily, they were. Now, Jonathan Eller, Chancellor›s Professor of English and director of the Center, is opening the collection for the general public. In the Campus Center Atrium (420 University Blvd., Indianapolis), at 5 p.m. on Aug. 27, the Center will host a reception and Eller will give a lecture “on the collection’s amazing journey from California to IUPUI and the importance of Bradbury’s legacy in the 21st century.” Both are free and open to the public.” Bradbury worked in the best and worst of our real and imagined culture. To take advantage of this amazing opportunity for an inside look, contact IUPUI at 274-1456 or libarts@iupui.edu for more information. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEE K Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable. – Maya Angelou

Why does my family hate me? Why, after I’ve been gone all day at work, must I come home to find two kids on an Oreo-crumbed couch, one hiding out in her humor disaster of a room and the other ensconced in a five-hour Xbox extravaganza while, quite literally, the house is dying a slow, agonizing death as it suffocates under cups of congealed milk, bowls of fruit-fly-infested cherries, tufts of random stuffing from a half-eaten dog toy and an avalanche of “New School Supplies!” debris? Why, dear Lord, why, can’t they think of their poor overwhelmed mother, and just for once, Pick. The heck. Up. I get it. They’re kids with bigger and better agendas. Keeping the kitchen clean and the hallways navigable are clearly at the bottom of their “Consider Doing” lists, along with brushing their teeth and folding laundry. But my husband Doo isn’t any better. He’ll spend hours organizing the garage or the refrigerator, but won’t waste one minute on picking up a wet towel. I’ve actually seen him walk right past a countertop covered in a questionable orange “substance”, plop his computer bag down in the middle of the floor, and continue on upstairs to bed. Arghh!!! I’ve tried passive-aggressive whining, scary-mommy screaming, and on occasion, stink-eye staring, but nothing seems to work. Even when I remind my family that my love language is “Service,” meaning I feel loved when someone completes a task for me, I receive little more than a patronizing smile. Seriously, how hard is it to toss the empty milk jug? If they can hug, they can recycle! Over the summer, the house was immaculate. My kids did their chores, I constantly tidied and everyone was happy. Now that we’re back in school, there’s no time for dishes or vacuuming or stray Pop-Tart wrappers. So I’m stuck with unmade beds, a dining room table covered in pencil shavings, and a family who apparently enjoys watching me go red-head crazy. I know they aren’t slobs on purpose, and deep-down I’m certain they love me, but lately it sure feels like hate! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Hunter Smith Band to celebrate new album release By Joseph Knoop • news@currentnoblesville.com For Hunter Smith, “team spirit” might mean two entirely different, yet altogether connected things. With a career spanning the world of professional football, performance the music industry, and even authoring a book, Smith’s own brand of country rock was set to mean something a little bit more advanced and inspiring. After 12 years of playing in the NFL for both the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, collecting a slew of awards including a Super Bowl win in 2006, Smith dedicated himself to the world of music, informed by his unusual experiences and and spiritual leanings. “I don’t know how many musicians are out there who’ve played professional football. Lots of musicians, some go to college, some don’t, I went to a private catholic university in the north and got a degree in theology,” Smith, a Texas native said.

Coupling his religious studies with an additional degree in sociology, Smith originally performed with Connersvine, a distinctly religious contemporary act before transitioning to the Hunter Smith Band. It’s there where Smith says he was able to let the sum of his life experiences inform his music, rather than his beliefs commanding total focus. “One of the things I think people can sniff out is when you’re not genuine,” Smith said. “I really enjoyed my time doing that but after a while I found myself doing something that didn’t feel genuine. I felt like I was just supposed to write Christian songs because I was in this genre. It was [the industry’s] opinion of what a Christian song is and I just disagree with that opinion. I don’t think any kind of art form can be secluded.” Smith continues to find his inspiration in his family, bandmates, and the bonds he shares with others. “My faith informs my life on a lot of levels, and so as a result it does inform my music,” Smith said. “[God] teaches us to love one another so I write songs about loving people.”

Smith believes it’s his job to write about the realities of life, including the difficult experiences captured in songs like “Tail Lights” from his upcoming album. “A woman leaves a man, and that doesn’t sound very Christian, but it’s the reality a lot of people find themselves in,” Smith said. “And it’s not my job to glorify that reality, it’s to write an artistic picture of what that reality is and the emotion that goes with it. That’s not Christian. It’s just me, and I’m Christian.” The Hunter Smith Band will perform a free album release show on Aug. 28 at the Traders Point Creamery at 9101 Moore Road in Zionsville, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. “What I love about writing songs is watching the Hunter Smith Band arrange and develop them,” Smith said. “I worked in teams my whole life, it only makes sense that I would do music. I could be a solo artist, but what would be the fun of that?” For more information, go to Huntersmithband.com.

CHS grad returns to record album By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Dwight Simmons, 29, has planned a homecoming for late August. Currently, Simmons works in New York as a comedian and has appeared comedy on shows such as David Letterman and has been to various comedy festivals. Simmons hasn’t always lived on the east coast though, as he graduated from Carmel High School and then Indiana University. On Aug. 30, Simmons will appear at Morty’s Comedy Joint, 3625 E. 96th St., Indianapolis, to do a live recording of his first album. “I’d describe my comedy as kind of goofy and fun loving. I like to deal with issues in a silly way, and that’s the basis of how I write my comedy,” Simmons said. “It’s just kind of everyday things and issues and things that are important to me where I take a unique look.” Simmons is mostly excited for his show because of the Midwest’s receptiveness to his comedy. “The thing about the Midwest is that they are open to a lot of new concepts. The feel of the Midwest is so different from the east coast here in New York,” Simmons said. “It’s

home, so coming home is always great.” And despite his live recording and his excitement for the show, Simmons is making sure he spends time with family and friends. Simmons said that graduating from Carmel especially helped shape his sense of humor. “Being in high school, especially in Carmel since it was so big, a good way to fit in was through a sense of humor. It was a good way to make friends. I kind of used that through high school and helped develop my sense of humor and my outlook on life and things,” Simmons said. Anyone ages 18 and older can purchase tickets to watch Simmons’ live recording through mortyscomedyjoint.com for $10.

‘Back Home Again’ now at HCAA By Joseph Knoop news@currentnoblesville.com

“Back Home Again,” a gallery presented by the Hamilton County Artist’s Association, will run from now until Oct. 16 at art the HCAA gallery at 195 Fifth St. in Noblesville. The gallery features noted artists from surrounding communities with works reminiscent of Indiana, including pastoral fields, small towns, city life, and traditional home comforts. “It reflects our own area, so people interpret it different ways,” vice president in charge of exhibitions Carol Griffith said. Various mediums of artwork will be displayed, including oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, and even stenography. The HCAA is a nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by nine area artists with the expressed purpose of promoting local artwork, to further artists’ interests via education and exhibits, and encourage the study of art by all. To that end, the HCAA is known for providing $1,000 scholarships to area art students and summer workshops for budding artists. The nonprofit was granted use of the First Baptist Church in Noblesville, a historic black church, in 2006, and served as the organization’s first permanent place to display its members’ artwork. “It’s a little off the beaten path, you have

Preparing for the season Part 2 By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

3500 W. 106th St., Carmel, IN 46032

GREEKFEST 2015

As we said last time, “football season is approaching.” So let’s continue our thoughts on getting ready for tailgate season. Besides equipment, we should focus on the food and friends. Here are some more reminders: Connect with those friends you haven’t seen since last season. Are they going to be coming to games this year? Discuss menu preferences with your tailgate companions. Talk about the first game’s date and kickoff time. Does any of the crew want to arrive early? Who can’t make it? Set the menu and make assignments for whom brings what. Deviled eggs Here is a warm weather favorite for your first tailgate of the season. Everybody eats more deviled eggs than they will admit. Ingredients: 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup French’s Classic Yellow Spicy mustard, 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon, 1/2

cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 12 extra-large pitted black olives Directions: Place eggs in pan large enough to hold them in single layer. Cover eggs with cold water by 1 inch and heat just to a boil. Remove from burner and cover the pan. Let the eggs stand in hot water about 12 minutes. Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water. Then put eggs into the fridge until ready to prepare. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, remove egg yolks and reserve whites. In a bowl, mash yokes with the remaining ingredients. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the egg whites. Garnish each with a half black olive. Special Tip For easier peeling, use eggs that are 7 to 10 days old. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His web site is www. tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

The studio will present family fun the “Peewinkle Goes Fishing” puppet show Sept. 16 through 25 (with no shows on Sept. 21-22) at 25 E. Henry St. in Indianapolis.

The show is designed for ages 2 through 8. Tickets are $8. Those 2 and under are admitted free. “It’s primarily for pre-schoolers,” Melchoir said. ”It’s a 28-minute show. We have optional workshop for people who want to stay after. It’s primarily for Mom’s groups or preschools. There are lot of different style of puppets in it and we’ve made everything. We’ve built the set and built the puppets. We’ve made the soundtrack.” Melchoir was born into the business. In the early 1950s, her late mother, Erica, a German immigrant, started the Melchoir Marionettes in Lorain, Ohio. In 1972, Melchoir brought the business to the Indianapolis area. In 1983, she opened The Melchoir Marionette Theater in Nashville, Ind., operating four months a year. In 1997, Melchoir and partner Debi White opened the India-

The trio has created their own unique sound with a Christian message. The band’s hit single was co-written by band member Shuler and backed by award-winning producer Bernie Herms. The three young men first got their start in music at a very young age by singing and performing in church. 3For3 comes from the Bible scripture Psalm 34:3.

Line of ‘724’ grows

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The 724 jewelry and clothing line got its start when Jennifer Cuniffe began making bracelets to support a young business Carmel girl. Cuniffe, a jewelry designer, and her friend Lissa Schuessler, both Carmel residents, had talked about ways they could help support Henley Romine, who battled neuroblastoma before succumbing to the cancer at age 4 in July 2013. Cuniffe designed a bracelet and they called it the Brave Bee (Henley’s nickname) bracelets and began to sell it in support of Henley. “the neat message is we got started because she had a talent and we wanted to help a family,” Schuessler said. “Then all of sudden, we realized we can do so much and we created a product line. Then pretty soon her and I are sketching clothing lines.” Schuessler was an engineer with a background in sales. Cuniffe previously had a jewelry business. “What I found when I was doing this is I couldn’t make and sell at the same time,” Cuniffe said. “So when we started doing Brave Bee bracelets, (Schuessler) had an easy time talking to boutique owners and then they were open into looking at our other products.” Schuessler said the clothing line was to capture the jewelry. “The clothing line is called Canvas, the reason being it’s kind of a blank canvas.

Schuessler said the demand has kept growing throughout Florida and that Indy-area businesses have been “incredible” in supporting their business.

A Carmel mainstay for more than 20 years now has a new home from which to help customers find antiques and relocation collectables. The Antique Emporium, formerly part of Shoshone Place, made the short move up Range Line to the Monon Square Shopping Center earlier this summer. It is now at 620 Range Line Rd. The store had established itself at Shoshone Place and just celebrated its 20th anniversary there in February, but simple business decisions led to the Emporium’s relocation. “The landlord was offered a lot more than what I had been paying, but I had a lease and the same landlord offered me two units here (at Monon Square),” owner Peg Durrer said. “So it was not a planned move in the beginning, but we’ve made a lot of changes and we increased our space by 600 square feet so we have room for more dealers.” The interior wall separating two spaces at Monon Square was knocked down to give the Antique Emporium more room — and the shop has plenty of items with which to fill the space. “I’ve already added two dealers,” Durrer

said. “I have two booths that are being filled with estate pieces and once those are sold, I’ll open that space up for even more new dealers.” The Emporium also has more room for what’s fondly referred to as its “Lampshade Shop,” a section of the store solely dedicated to parts and accessories for both antique and contemporary lamps. Durrer has owned the store since February 1995, but has been in the antiques business as a dealer for 40 years now. She’s seen items and trends come and go as the industry has changed over the years, and now her latest change has the Antique Emporium in a new home at Monon Square.

Carmel brewery expanding

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Danny Boy Beer Works, a Carmel-based brewery with a location in the Village of West Clay, has announced it is restaurant expanding into Michigan. Danny Boy is owned by Kevin Paul of Carmel, who also owns the Brockway Pub and is a co-founder of Carmelbased software logistics firm Blue Horseshoe, and his brother Kris Paul. The new 2,000-square-foot taproom will be on the banks of the St. Clair River in St. Clair, Mich. Plans are underway for a new production facility as well. “We are very excited to be able to introduce Danny Boy to new customers in Michigan,” Paul said. “We are looking forward to expanding our capacity to both brew and distribute Danny Boy beyond Indiana.” The new production facility would be located in Michigan to help supply Danny Boy beers to restaurants and bars throughout McComb County and the “thumb” area north of Detroit. That facility could open by July of 2016 and would produce 7,000 to 10,000 barrels of beer in the first year and eventually increase to 40,000 barrels.

“It’s going to be a great place for St. Clair residents and visitors to relax and enjoy some great beers,” Paul said. “In addition to the great beers we are already brewing here in Carmel, we will be introducing three new unique recipes for St. Clair, including Warring Sun, White Knuckle Witte and Black Moon Lager.” For more information on Danny Boy Beer Works, visit dannyboybeerworks.com.

Home sales up 5 percent Commentary by Jim Litten With average Central Indiana home prices reaching $185,529 in July 2015, home sale prices are real estate up 5.3 percent compared to July 2014. Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sale prices in the first seven months of 2015 compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County is among the areas that reported gains with an average sale price of $277,230, an increase of 4 percent compared to the same time period last year. • In Carmel, year-to-date home sale prices rose 2.3 percent to $350,566, an increase of $7,921 compared to the same time period last year. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, four were priced above $1,000,000; 16 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 46 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 37 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 21 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• Inventory moved at a slower pace in Carmel in July 2015. Overall, homes sold in 64 days on average – 14 more days than this time last year. • Buyers in Carmel have a few more options available to them. Last month, 604 homes were available for sale, a modest uptick of 13 homes compared to July 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped slightly in Carmel. In July 2015, 125 homes sold, a decline of 46 homes from July 2014. Central Indiana is seeing the best July in the last five years in terms of sale prices, which have increased more than $34,000 on average. Meanwhile, the number of available homes on the market is the lowest we’ve experienced in five years – all pointing to a more balanced, stable market that tends to benefit sellers.

A pergola was the perfect solution for a family seeking shade. (Submitted photo)

Shade and how the pergola won Commentary by Randy Sorrell That was the primary objective of this Zionsville home project and an oversized pergola was the ideal outdoor living solution. Of course, we considered other ideas from huge cantilever umbrellas, forward thinking shade sails and even a formal roof structure. The pergola won. Blazing sun, and a pergola solution A southwestern exposure baked the back of the home and caused the ambitiously sized stamped concrete patio to be unusable on sunny afternoons. The kiddie pool, stainless steel grill and sleek, upscale furniture were taking a beating and showing early signs of potential sun damage. Kitchen, living room and the dining area windows all overlook the area, which was difficult to cool. A confident solution was imperative. This 20’x20’ modern pergola design is completely custom and driven by the homeowner’s on-line research and desire for something different. It served as inspiration for our team to create a completely unique structure. Because of the location, a building permit was required.

TWENTY

SENIORS

FLOATING. Premium cedar 6”x6”x12’ standard posts were set in footers that were cut through the existing concrete patio. Large 2”x12” beams were jointed on the ends (instead of a more traditional overhang) in a clean fashion. An additional set of 2”x10” beams seem to float on top. To create an amazing volume of shade, two layers of overhead units were installed creating a heavy shade footprint underneath. The floating sensation is a very powerful architectural detail and fun to imagine. Often, we are able to create shade escapes in a number of manners on the same project. Shade trees are very affective, but take a few years to cause impact. Pergolas are immediate. Throw in recessed blinds and a few umbrellas and often the problem is solved. We are thrilled the homeowners are loving their newfound shady outdoor living space!

Hardwood flooring and the Janka scale Commentary by David Decker

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Carmel honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com. The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 11.

Replacing your old flooring with shiny, new hardwood is one way to attract buyers into your home. But if you interiors thought that all wood flooring was created equal, you may want to dig a little deeper. Understanding the different types and species of hardwood floor is an essential part of selecting your flooring. The most common types of wood used to make flooring include: • Red Oak: The most popular flooring option in the U.S. because of its rich color and tough grain. • White Oak: Has similar properties to its cousin, the red oak, but is slightly harder and more durable. • Pine: Pine’s recognizable swirls, knots and yellowish brown color has made it a popular choice for flooring and siding. It also has a natural resistance to insects. • Cherry: Because it’s a soft wood, cherry isn’t often the best choice for flooring. However, it makes an excellent decorative or accent wood. • Exotic: Many homeowners are choosing to install flooring made from renewable

resources, such as cork or bamboo. When choosing a wood species, you’ll want to take into account the relative hardness of the wood. Harder wood grain means that the flooring will be more likely to withstand the wear done by heavy furniture and foot traffic. The Janka scale was developed to give homeowners and builders an idea about the relative hardness of a particular type of wood.. The test figures out how many PSI of force is needed to push a steel ball into a wood plank. Woods like Mahogny and Hickory have Janka

scale ratings of 2200 and 1800, putting them on the high end of the scale. Weigh your options carefully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.

ADvEnTURE IS WAITInG. The Grand Cascade of Peterhof, near St. Petersburg (Photo by Don Knebel)

‘Kingdom of Fountains’

Commentary by Don Knebel

Peter the Great literally changed the face of Russia after a trip to Europe. Peterhof, often called the “Russian Versailles,” is travel among the most impressive architectural results of that trip. Peter became tsar of a land-locked Russia in 1682 at age 10. In 1697, he undertook a “Grand Embassy” to European capitals, seeking support for Russia’s quarrels with the Ottoman Empire. During 18 months in Europe, Peter acquired a penchant for Europe’s technology and traditions, including its clean shaven men. On Peter’s return, he ordered all Russian men to shave their beards or pay a stiff tax. To establish a sea route to Europe, Peter captured from Sweden a small town at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland and built a new port city on that site beginning in 1703. The city, named “St. Petersburg” in honor of St. Peter, had a distinctively European look, with classical façades and broad canals. Peter made it the capital of Russia in 1712.

Because the sea adjacent St. Petersburg was too shallow for a commercial harbor, Peter built his harbor on a captured island several miles west of the city. Peter then built a palace complex on a bluff 50 feet above the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland to be nearer his harbor in the summer. Named “Peterhof,” Dutch for “Peter’s Court,” the complex includes a unique collection of gardens and fountains. The “Grand Cascade,” incorporating 64 fountains between the palace and the sea, was inspired by a palace of Louis XIV. All water from Peterhof’s 144 fountains comes from local springs and sprays into the air without pumps. Peter the Great traveled by carriage to Peterhof through the countryside along the Gulf of Finland. Today, a hydrofoil makes the trip from St. Petersburg to the “Kingdom of Fountains” in about 45 minutes. Don Knebel is a local resident
