Fall break & no plans? Think Puccini’s! By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With renovations and expansions planned in the next few years at the Carmel Clay Public Library and neighboring Carmel POLITICS Elementary School, city leaders figure it’s a good time to look at options for redeveloping the area as a whole as it leads into Carmel’s Arts & Design District. “Those things are going on right next to each other, so it’s important there be a discussion between these public entities and the private ones involved to make sure it’s not done in a piecemeal way,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. City planners have had discussions with library officials Brainard about selling the library’s overflow parking lot, which is along Main Street, to a developer or other entity that could construct a mixed-use building or other project on the highly visible site. “That (option) has come up as one of many possibilities,” CCPL Director Bob Swanay said. “We’ve looked at every way that we can handle that space, and the only thing we’ve decided is it’s way too early to try to make a Swanay decision.” Library officials recently completed a year-and-a-half long visioning process that concluded that the library needs more space, specifically for programming. Swanay said the parking lot already reaches capacity at times and that a parking garage is a likely solution, although where or when it could be built remains undetermined. The library expects to soon sign a contract with RATIO architects to look at the results of the visioning process and develop plans for expansion. Then, library officials will know if what’s best for the library lines up with proposed plans to redevelop the area as a whole, Swanay said.

Carmel Elementary Library officials are determining the future of its overflow parking lot, which some city planners would like to see developed for another use. (Map data: Google 2018)

“It’s a good idea to look at the larger area and make sure that we’re not going to be doing things that contrast with each other in a negative way, so it makes all the sense in the world for us to stay in touch (with other land owners) and cooperate as much as we can,” Swanay said. Carmel Elementary School, which is just south of the library, will be demolished after the 2020-21 school year. The school is proposed to be rebuilt on land south of its existing building, currently home to Wodock Fields. Planners are considering whether a parking solution can be found that would benefit both entities. “It’s a good idea for all of us to be talking to each other and understand what the other is doing, particularly where it relates to the library and the school,” Swanay said. “We’re two public entities, and if there are ways we can take what we’re both doing and be helpful to the other, then it’s a good idea.” Carmel Clay Schools spokesperson Courtney Taylor declined to comment on specifics but stated in an email that CCS is “always open to partner and collaborate with the city to benefit the students and families we serve.”

City aims to buy Monon Square By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is continuing its efforts to redevelop its central core by offering to purchase REDEVELOPMENT the Monon Square retail center at the northwest corner of Range Line Road and City Center Drive. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission announced Oct. 2 that it had offered $15 million for the 8.7 acres of land bordered by the Monon Greenway on its west side and Range Line Road to the east. The CRC has signed a purchase agreement with the Lawhead family, which owns the property. Among it’s conditions is approval by the Carmel City Council. A city press release states that the offer is in line with similar offers made for the center in recent years. Current tenants include, among others, Union Brewing Company, Ristorante Roma and Soho Café & Gallery. The existing buildings are likely to be replaced with a mixeduse development, but construction likely wouldn’t start for several years, pending approval of the sale. “Obtaining this property as one piece is important for us to create a quality project that will stand the test of time. This will allow us to work with local businesses and ensure that it does not remain a one-story suburban retail mall for the next 20 years or more,” CRC Director Henry Mestetsky stated in a press release. “In anticipation of acquiring Monon Square, the CRC has already purchased the former Thrifty Car Rental site and has demolished the building.” The city plans to work with some of the existing businesses and incorporate them into the new development, which is planned to include outdoor public spaces and plazas. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the purchase of Monon Square would be similar to how the city worked to develop City Center several years ago.

The council also introduced ordinances that set salaries for elected officials, city employees in the executive branch, clerk-treasurer’s office and city court. City councilors are proposed to receive a 3 percent increase, while the mayor is proposed to receive a 7 percent raise, making him the highest-paid mayor in Indiana at $148,786 per year. 151st STREET Read more about the proposed salaries at youarecurrent. com/?p=168598

The Carmel City Council on Oct. 1 introduced the proposed 2019 budget and approved a resolution to keep Carmel’s tax rate capped at its current rate of 78.87 CITY NEWS cents per $100 of assessed property value. The $102 million proposed for the 2019 general fund is a 6.4 percent increase over the 2018 budget. Highlights of the budget include five new police officers, additional dollars for community events and festivals, funds to operate the new Monon Boulevard park and additional street department maintenance operations. Carter If the budget is approved and the tax rate stays the same, the owner of a $200,000 home would pay approximately $771 per year in taxes to the city. Carmel has the ninth-lowest tax rate of 118 cities in Indiana, Mayor Jim Brainard told the council. “I think we’ve gone for almost a decade now without a rate increase in Carmel,” Brainard said, adding that the tax rate is projected to decrease for 2020. Councilor Ron Carter said city leaders aren’t seeking to have the lowest tax rates in the state because of the effect it would have on services. “We don’t really approach the budgets from the standpoint of thinking we want to have the very lowest expenses of anyplace or that we want to cut taxes to the bone,” he said. “It is our philosophy that you have to have taxes to run

Weaver Woods honors teacher By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For 36 years, Mark Weaver made learning fun for his science students at Clay Middle School. EDUCATION Weaver, 59, retired following the 2017-18 school year, but he will long be remembered. An outdoor ecology lab at the school was named “Weaver Woods” in his honor during a Sept. 27 dedication ceremony. Weaver received the Sagamore of the Wabash for the second time and accepted the award from Gov. Eric Holcolmb by State Rep. Donna Schaibley, a Carmel resident. He received his first Sagamore of the Wabash in 2003 from then-Gov. Joe Kernan. Weaver was inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame in 2011. He earned the title of Indiana State Teacher of the Year in 2004 and was chosen Carmel Clay Schools Teacher of the Year in 2003. Clay Principal Todd Crosby described Weaver as a one-of-a-kind educator. “For 36 years, science came alive for students of Mark Weaver,” Crosby said. “He always took the time to share his love of science with everyone around him. As principal, I’ve been touched by the sparkle of

Carmel shot a 633, one stroke less than fourth-place Homestead. Evansville North won with a score of 605, followed by Zionsville with a 612. Carmel trailed Homestead by two strokes for third place after the first round but rallied in the final nine holes to place third. “We’re really proud of them.

The Carmel native and former player for Carmel High GOLF School’s boys golf team has authored three books on golf, including the Amazon Best Seller, “Train for Golf Like an Olympian.” He was named one of Golf Digest magazine’s “Best Teachers” in the state of Indiana for 2017-18. Huffman Huffman is a lead coach at Correct2Compete’s indoor facility in Zionsville and Hickory Stick Golf Club in Greenwood, both of which are affiliated with the Golf Channel Academy. He is a sport performance consultant for IUPUI and has coached several players who have won various championships. Recently, Huffman added two Golf Channel appearances to his resume. He was chosen to be a guest instructor on the network’s “Morning Drive,” a show he calls the “SportsCenter” of the golf world. He gave lessons on the Sept. 19 and Sept. 22 shows.

Colby Huffman demonstrates a pivot drill on Golf Channel Academy Sept. 22. The drill helps develop a more consistent swing. (Submitted screenshot)

“The (Sept. 19) topic was how to play under pressure as that related to the tournament that week, where the (PGA Tour) players were actually wrapping up the season and they were playing for $10 million,” Huffman said. “They wanted me to explain what the players should be thinking about, concentrating on and doing.” During his Sept. 22 appearance, Huffman discussed technical aspects of the game, including basic drills and fundamentals. “it was kind of fun to discuss both sides,” he said. “It’s not just your swing and it’s not just the mental side, so being able to explain that was great.” Huffman said he has been invited back to the Golf Channel for a future appearance, but a date has not been set.

Authors to speak at Midwest By Sarah Ertelt news@currentincarmel.com Midwest Academy will host a free lecture Oct. 16 featuring authors Anne Ford and John-Richard Thompson EDUCATION in an event that’s open to the public. Ford, the great-granddaughter of business magnate Henry Ford, has co-authored five books with Thompson on learning disabilities. Ford has served for 12 years as chairperson for the National Center for Learning Disabilities. Thompson is a playwright and director with several New York City productions. “When (Ford) learned that her daughter’s learning disabilities were severe, this put her on a journey to greatness and she has since used her position to advocate for all children with learning disabilities,” said Kara Hanley, Midwest Academy marketing director. The event starts at 1 p.m. at Midwest Academy, 1420 Chase Court in Carmel. It is geared toward adults who are interested in learning more about children with learning differences. The target audience is parents, family members and friends of children or

adult children with learning challenges. Ford and Thompson’s books will be available for purchase. Midwest Academy serves students in grades 3-12 with ADD/ADHD, autism and other learning challenges. “Our students are intelligent young people who have found it difficult to thrive in a traditional schooling environment,” Hanley said. “Many of our students struggle with complex learning situations stemming from language/ sensory processing differences or social skill challenges. They need a small class size and more individualized attention.”

Former TV news anchor opens hypnosis practice to help herself, others By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Skye Winslow was on a mission to find the right footing for her balance issues. The long journey had the Carmel resident criss-crossing the U.S. after the removal of a brain COVER STORY tumor in July 2012. “I got sick really fast. The surgery went well, it was a benign tumor,” Winslow said. “But I had a lot of complications. I gained about 100 pounds in four months from all the steroids. I developed Cushing’s syndrome, so it collapsed my adrenal system. For 5 1/2 years, I traveled the country trying to help me find what would make me better.” She attended the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and considered becoming a raw food chef in California but learned raw foods weren’t a good fit for her. Then she studied being a personal trainer in Arizona. “I tried everything to get better,” she said. “I have a wall of (certifications) of these things that didn’t work. I have significant balance issues. I have profound dizziness. It feels like I’m walking on a merry-go-round. I wanted to find a way to talk to that part of my brain that I’m not falling down, quit killing me.” Nothing worked until she learned hypnosis provided relief, lowering her cortisol levels. Cortisol is a steroid hormone made by adrenal glands. “I am able to walk without thinking I’m falling,” Winslow said. “I can walk without a walker now.” Winslow, 57, met her husband, WTTV-4 anchor Bob Donaldson, when they both were working at a TV station in Beaumont, Texas. Winslow was an anchor on PM Magazine in Beaumont, Salt Lake City and Oklahoma City. She was a news anchor for the evening news in Terre Haute and worked as freelance fill-in anchor at both WTHR-13 and Fox 59, but she took several years off to raise their three children, Laura, Sarah and Andrew. She had just returned to work in sales at Fox 59 when the tumor was discovered. Donaldson was at Fox 59 from 1991 to 2016. Winslow spent 500 classroom hours learning from Hypnotherapy Academy of America in New Mexico. From there, she completed a program in Massachusetts for pain management and weight loss. Now a certified medical support hypnotherapist, she set up Winslow Hypnosis at 1089 3rd Ave SW Suite 110 in Carmel and initially started treating people for free. “She’s been on an incredible journey,” Donaldson said. “She’s been looking for answers for the vertigo that has not gone away. The fact she was able to find hypnotism was really a godsend for her. I can tell you as someone who has lived with her through this experience, it has made a significant difference in her quality of life. It has improved her ability to function and start a career and the transformation has really been amazing. That’s been her motivation to open this practice and share this knowledge

that has been so valuable for her.” Winslow works with cancer survivors and people who want to lose weight or stop smoking. “My job is to help you hypnotize yourself so you can achieve what you want to achieve,” she said. Winslow works with clients to manage stress and trauma as well. Donaldson said his wife’s hypnosis session helped him through his hip replacement surgery. “After the surgery, I asked if there was anything unusual about my surgery and they said, ’Yeah, there was one thing that you didn’t bleed very much,’” Donaldson said. “Skye smiled and said that was one of the things we worked on through your hypnosis. We wanted to ease that, so I’m convinced it has a tangible effect on her patients.”

To assist her desire to lose weight and help others, Skye Winslow has learned the concept of a virtual gastric band. An adjustable gastric band, called a lap-band, is an inflatable silicone device placed around the top portion of the stomach. It’s designed to curb food consumption. “In hypnosis, we can get you to think this (gastric band surgery) has happened to you,” Winslow said. “First, we get you use to hypnosis. It doesn’t just happen the first time. You go through the whole process, just like you are entering the hospital. You hear the sounds of an operating room and doctors talking. It will smell like you’re in an operating room. Generally, when you come out of hypnosis, you feel like you have the surgery done.” Winslow learned the process from Sheila Granger, a hypnotherapist from the United Kingdom. Winslow said Granger’s research shows it has an approximately 95 percent success rate, and after a year 78 percent of people maintain the weight loss. Studies show that gastric band patients maintain an average of 40 to 50 percent of excess weight after the surgery. Winslow has been doing hypnosis for nearly two years and started virtual gastric in the spring. Gastric band procedures are decreasing compared to other forms, such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy because of the costs involved and re-operating to make lap band adjustments. A gastric band can cost on average $15,000. Winslow charges $499 for seven sessions of hypnotherapy. She has lost 25 pounds using the method on herself. She said her Cushing’s syndrome makes it difficult to lose more. “The average is five to seven pounds for the first week and two pounds a week after that,” Winslow said. “It’s not a diet. You will cut down eating just because your body understands what you want it to do.” Carmel resident Carolyn Pasanen, 80, took eight sessions this summer. “It was easy. I just felt so much better,” Pasanen said. “I lost 25 pounds and I’m still working on it.” Carmel resident Cynthia Martin lost nearly 15 pounds through the program. “(Winslow) works with us on more than just the weight loss. She works on pain management,” Martin said. “She works on whatever issues you have, so she is almost like a life coach.” Martin’s husband, Steve York, lost 22 pounds during the seven weeks. “I’m from the clean-plate era where I hated to leave anything on my plate,” York said. “Now, I have been and it’s OK.” Winslow is just glad to see results for her clients. “I consider this a blessing. What a way to go out with a last career, where you get to help people,” she said. For more, visit winslowhypnosis.com.

ESSAY

Be polite Commentary by Terry Anker Etiquette follows us everywhere. We line up in a certain way at airports. We order our food in certain ways at restaurants. We interact with each other, in certain ways, every day. Famed heiress and arbiter of all things proper, Marjorie Merriweather Post, applied her considerable free time, and wealth, to advancing some modern standard of polite society. America, it seemed to her, had drifted from the rigid protocol of its colonial roots. While it might have been punishable by death to have turned a back to the queen, was one expected to behave the same in the presence of a senator from the newly minted United States? As time has invariably marched on, these set-in-stone rules of social interaction have eroded. Every day as casual day is common in our offices. First names are the ubiquitous exchange of virtually every workplace. Even in the citadel of rule-making autocrats, weddingplanners have loosened the reins on their guidelines. Do we sit on the left or the right? Do we stand or sit – and when? Do we buy a gift or just hand over cash? Do we dress up or decidedly dress down? In a world of elusive standards, can we be expected to know the wediquette? Still, shouldn’t we find room for just a bit of politeness? With hostilities high and civility low, is there a practice, a dictate, that can guide us through these stormy seas? Perhaps knowing how long one has to respond to a formal invitation isn’t going to stop the hate and conflict surging in the world around us, but how can having a sense of reasonable expectation (on both sides of a matter) be a bad thing? We may not care about the RSVP, but they might. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, Like it or not, it’s free speech. William Shaffer reads like a modern-day Mrs. Silence Dogood (Ben Franklin’s pen name). She was “an Enemy to Vice, and a Friend to Virtue.” She loved the clergy and good men but was the “mortal enemy to arbitrary government and unlimited power.” So, Mr. Non-Mayor, carry on, we applaud your free speech. The only reason anyone tries to shut you down is due to their cowardly wrongdoing and deceptions. One thing I know as truth, naughty boys always get their comeuppance. Heidi Nisley, Carmel

Pardon my appearance Commentary by Danielle Wilson My youngest recently attended her first high school dance. A big deal for her, sure, but not really for me, as her HUMOR three siblings have already navigated several dances. Which is why, on my way to the departure location for the awkward-photo session of my daughter and 27 of her besties, I didn’t think twice about the fact that I’d be rolling into a stranger’s home sporting sweaty workout gear, no makeup and a disheveled ponytail. Surprise! About 30 parents were already there, most looking, if not ready for an evening out, certainly showered and pulled together. Apparently, this was an adult gathering, too. The introvert in me screamed, “Leave now!,” but I hadn’t even seen my child yet, let alone documented her moment for Facebook posterity. So, I engaged in uncomfortable small talk with beautiful people I didn’t know, acutely

aware that I smelled like a damp gym sock. Eventually, I tried to disappear into a corner, but it was no use. We had unfortunately offered to host the after-party, and as word got around that “Maddie’s mom” was here, I was sought out for “good luck” wishes, cash offerings and, of course, the my-son-is-theboyfriend, glad-we-could-finally-meet chat. In hindsight, I clearly made rookie mistakes. I could have arrived much later, brought along Doo as my wingman, or at a minimum, slapped on some mascara. Now, I’ll forever be branded the aloof, stinky mom with ill-fitting leggings. On a positive note, my daughter looked gorgeous, and I did get the pictures to prove it. Peace out.

Living in the city of detours Commentary by John Accetturo Having lived through more than 20 years of street construction in Carmel I thought I was immune to the ROAD WORK inconvenience, but that is not the case. I spend almost every day in Carmel and speak to a wide variety of people, and the biggest complaint they have is about all the street construction and detours. The detour sign has become the most used by the street department. Recently, an individual I know called the city engineer to ask if there was a construction-free way for his out-of-town visitor to navigate to his home. The city engineer told him it was impossible. I do have to admit the street surfaces in Carmel are in excellent condition, and no one is complaining about that. However, driving in any direction in the city, people encounter street construction, detours and contractors blocking streets and redirecting traffic at will. It seems if you are constructing something in Carmel you can impair traffic with no supervision by the city or police department. These contractors, along with planned closings and street construction, are a pain in the neck. People are ask-

ing: Will this ever end? Obviously, you can’t go backward, and some street revamping like 96th Street and Keystone Parkway is needed. However, others, like Range Line Road, are not. I drive Range Line daily and the changes have denigrated the traffic flow and make it harder to get where you want to go. By the way, those planters are ugly and a hazard to both traffic and bike riders. Just wait until the snow and ice come. There are a lot of projects going on in Carmel, but you seldom hear about them until they are being implemented. Carmel taxpayers need to know why these street projects are needed, and their merits need to be publicly discussed by the city council before being approved and funded. Just because the mayor wants them is not an adequate reason for the city council to approve them. Aren’t we supposed to have checks and balances in city government?

John V. Accetturo is a former city council member and CRC commissioner.

Carmel 12345 Old Meridian St.,

Remembering the fixer Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We have a great fix-it guy. His name is Randy. Handy Randy has a lot to live up to. Our last handyman died HUMOR 13 years ago this month. It’s taken us that long to find a replacement for Steve. And a replacement for the missing hallway floor tile, and the bathroom faucet handle and the bulb for the refrigerator. Here’s a memory of Steve from 2005. When Steve comes over, we sit and chat about his kids and his grandkids. Then, he gets around to his infirmities and then his wife’s cousins who are overstaying their visit. And finally, how things are going at his regular job — which, interestingly, is just talking to people on the phone about their problems. And he’s not a therapist: He’s an acoustical engineer. Then, it’s time for a little lunch. After about an hour, I do something rude. I ask Steve about actually fixing something. “Steve, sorry to interrupt, but can we talk about fixing the hinge on the front door?” I should be more careful with how I phrase things, because for the next hour that’s exactly what we do. Last week, I

learned a lot about the rich history of the door hinge, the benefits of stainless steel over iron and the evolution of the pin that allows the hinge to move freely. But my door still didn’t close well. “I’ll have to fix that hinge another time,” Steve said. “It’s getting late.” “It wasn’t late when you got here six hours ago.” “Dick, these things take time. What’s a good day for me to come back?” “Why are you coming back? We can do what we do over the phone.” Despite my kidding, Steve was our savior. Steve could fix anything, except the cancer that finally took him. After he passed, I appreciated his skill and friendship even more, and I wrote a tribute to him that I will share with you next week. As I write this, Randy is upstairs installing mirrors in our new bathrooms. Randy has become a pal as well. That’s the kind of guy you need when you’re in a fix.

Ex-FBI agents open Veracity By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com After 22 years with the FBI, Doug Kouns was ready for a new challenge. Kouns, an Indianapolis NEW BIZ resident, is the owner of Veracity IIR (IntelligenceInvestigation-Research), an investigation and consulting service at 706 Pro-Med Lane, Carmel. A ribboncutting celebration is set Kouns from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 18. He is joined by Kathy Guider, a Zionsville resident who retired Aug. 31 after 23 years with the FBI, all in the Indianapolis office. Guider, vice president of Veracity IIR, will lead the training division and oversee investigations, human resources and most administrative functions. Kouns said agents qualify for a pension when they reach age 50 and have 20 years or more of service. He retired Sept. 10 when he turned 50 and opened the business the next day. “We want to specialize in legal and corporate clients,” Kouns said. “If they are considering partnership or acquisition of

another business, we would do a background investigation to the business that they are potentially going to enter into business with, making sure there are no hidden lawsuits or an employee is going to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against the CEO, stuff they are trying to hide so they get the deal done before it comes out.” Other items the firm will investigate are workplace violence, embezzlement, Guider misconduct and accident investigation. The firm also will supply legal support with investigations, such as pretrial interviews and finding witnesses. Guider said the company will offer physical and cyber security support. “If somebody wants us to put on a seminar for an active shooter, then we can do that,” she said. “We’ve already talked to one law enforcement agency about possibly putting on an interview and interrogation week-long course since I’ve taught those things.” School safety is another subject Veracity can address.

GetGo provides exchange area By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A GetGo convenience store in Carmel has been designated as a Community MeetUp Spot for customers who sell OFFERUP items on the OfferUp mobile app. The GetGo, 11545 N. Illinois St., is next to the Market District parking lot. Both are owned by Giant Eagle. The MeetUp Spot gives customers a secure location to complete transactions in an area that is monitored, well-lit and surveilled. Community MeetUp Spots will be designated by OfferUp signs and transactions will be welcome during the in-store cafe hours of operation. OfferUp is a fastgrowing mobile marketplace. “At GetGo, we’re dedicated to adding value to the communities we serve, and we felt we had a unique opportunity to bring that commitment to life by partnering with OfferUp to establish Community MeetUp Spots in select GetGo locations,” said Jannah Jablonowski, a spokesperson for Giant Eagle. “Through this partnership, our hope is to provide secure spaces for customers and members of our communities to comfortably and conveniently complete their OfferUp transactions.” In addition to the partnership with Giant Eagle, OfferUp connects with more than 1,400 police departments nationally to create their version of an OfferUp Community MeetUp Spot to help buyers and sellers come to in-person transactions.

Jablonowski said the Carmel Police Dept. also is listed as a designated SafeTradeSpot where OfferUp users can choose to meet to complete their transactions in a secure environment. CPD Lt. Joe Bickel said two parking spaces were designated as a safety exchange zone in 2017. The parking spaces are directly in front of the Carmel Police Dept. at 3 Civic Square. “The spaces provide ample signage, good lighting and 24-7 video surveillance,” Bickel said. “If citizens are wanting a safe area to conduct social media or local classified face-to-face transactions they are welcome to utilize these areas at any given time. If they come during working hours (Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and were concerned about a VIN or serial number, we can verify the item is not stolen or missing.” For a list of verified Community MeetUp Spots in the U.S., visit SafeTradeSpots.com.

Breast cancer survivor Anne Gabbert was hesitant when it was suggested she take part in the Pink BREAST CANCER Ribbon Connection fashion show. “I received a massage from an oncology massage therapist, and she asked me to apply to be a model in the show,” Gabbert said. “I didn’t think I wanted to do it but she convinced me that I did.” Gabbert will take part in the Pink Ribbon Connection’s Stars of Pink Gabbert Fashion Show Oct. 13 at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, 350 W. Maryland St. The reception begins at 10 a.m. and is followed by a luncheon and fashion show from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The thought of participating in a fashion show scared Gabbert at first. “It’s completely out of my comfort zone, getting dressed up and walking down a runway in front of a thousand people,” she said. “My worst fear is I’m going to fall down. One of the reasons I was faced with

this challenge I feel is so I can help others, and if I don’t stand up and own and talk about it, then no one will know.” Gabbert, a 1982 Carmel High School graduate, was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in December 2017. She had surgery in February and finished 30 radiation visits in May. “I received lots of good support from friends,” said Gabbert, whose mother, Denise Gayley, taught at Carmel Clay Schools for nearly 30 years. Gabbert will be joined by fellow Carmel resident Carol Freeman in the fashFreeman ion show. Freeman had a mammogram in October 2016 and was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Freeman, who started chemotherapy shortly afterward and concluded it in March 2017, is in remission. “I have a check-up every three months for the next five years,” Freeman said. Freeman, 54, said when she joined a support group 1 1/2 years ago there were 85 members. Now, there are approximately 200.

“It makes me sad we keep adding members all the time,” Freeman said. “When anyone has triple negative or reconstruction surgery I try to talk to them because I’ve done so much research on everything. I like to have coffee or lunch with them to try to calm them down and let them know life goes on.” Freeman said she is a bit nervous about the fashion show. “I went to it last year and it’s a great celebration of life with all the survivors,” Freeman said. “It was beautiful and a wonderful thing to attend, especially for anyone that has been touched by it.” Freeman’s 24-year-old son, Nick Ayala, will join her in the fashion show. He opened a shop in Bloomington that sells vintage Indiana University apparel. “My whole family is a great support, but he’s really interested in fashion and design,” Freeman said. “He drove down from Michigan, where he was living at the time when I was going through surgery, and slept in my room in a chair with me the first two nights in the hospital.”

Civic Theatre presents Cole Porter classic ‘Anything Goes’ Oct. 12-27 By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This will be the fifth time Michael J. Lasley has been involved with “Anything Goes,” but it will be his first MUSICAL time directing. Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Lasley, who will be involved with his 201st show at Civic, will direct the production of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” Oct. 12 to 27 at The Tarkington in Carmel. “I’ve been involved with it three times at Civic and two more times at other theaters,” said Lasley, who joined Civic Theatre in 1990. “This is the first time I’ve directed it. For as popular a show as it is in community theaters and regional theaters, it was on Broadway in 1934 and then not again until 1987. Then there was production again in 2011. It’s very popular with theater-goers, but has not had a lot of revivals on Broadway.” It was last performed in Civic’s Young Artists Program in 2013. Lasley also was involved with the 2003 production at Civic. The musical’s songs include the title song, “I Get a Kick out of You,” and “You’re the Top.” “We’re partnering with the Great American Songbook to promote this and they are going to have a display out in the lobby because these songs are the Great American Songbook,” Lasley said. “It’s a great tie-in for everybody. With this being our 104th season, to have a big splashy show like this with a Hoosier composer is perfect for us.” Susie Harloff, Avon, is playing nightclub singer Reno Sweeney for the second time. She previously performed the role at Footlite Musicals in 2017 in Indianapolis. “But this is a completely different version of the show,” Harloff said. “This storyline makes a little more sense because it is kind of an old-fashioned, crazy storyline.” Harloff loves performing with Civic Theatre. “As an amateur actress, it says profes-

sionalism all over,” Harloff said. She last performed at Civic in 2013 in “Into the Woods.” “I got to the play the Baker’s Wife in that show, which was a bucket-list role, a role I always dreamed of playing,” Harloff said. “After that, playing Reno Sweeney (at Civic) is my next bucket-list role.” Harloff said the choreography is intense. “I’ve been dancing for a long time and pick things up pretty quick, but I did not pick this up quick,” Harloff said. “I had to work really, really hard to get all the steps. I’m still trying to figure some things out. The level of direction is so intense. They really try to dig deep down into the character and make you really think about who it is you are playing and not just what lines you (have).” Juddson Updike, a Carmel resident, is performing in his first Civic show but had worked in the production area and Civic shows for younger people. “I didn’t start in theater until I was 19,” Updike said. “I did some small stuff in Chicago. I performed for Disney for a yearand-a-half on a cruise ship, singing and dancing, working with Mickey Mouse and all that fun stuff.” Updike is playing Billy Crocker. “He’s a little different than I am, but he’s

a lot of fun,” Updike said. “I’m basically a stowaway on the ship, so I get to act in disguises and doing different voices. It’s a lot of fun to play because I get to be a couple of different characters.” A behind-the-scenes look Civic Theatre will start its 2018-19 season with its “Putting it Together” program Oct. 12 for the second consecutive year. The fundraising session starts at 5:30 p.m., prior to the 7 p.m. show. “The idea is to ask people to pay a little more, which is actually what it costs to do this,” Lasley said. “We get about 50 percent of our income from support from individuals, government foundations, sponsors and the other half comes from box office.” Lasley said the idea is for subscribers and individual ticket buyers to pay twice what they normally would pay as a fundraiser. “We give them something to eat and drink, but more importantly we give them a look at the process from auditions all the way to seeing the show that night,” Lasley said. “They’ll see crews set up, they’ll be able to take tours backstage, see the actors preparing and see the scenery backstage.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Volunteers vital to success Commentary by Jeff McDermott After 31 years as a trial lawyer, I faced a steep learning curve when I became president and CEO at the PALLADIUM Center for the Performing Arts. Having been a patron and board member, I knew we were blessed not only with talented staffers but also with an army of dedicated volunteers – “unpaid professionals” numbering nearly 300 strong who work at our three venues. I had met many of these wonderful people over the years and knew them to be welcoming and cheerful, but I did not fully appreciate all they did to support our organizations If I was going to lead and support them, I had to learn a lot more. I began by setting up approximately 20 lunches with groups of volunteers, so I could put names and faces together, ask questions and really grasp the scope of their job duties. I learned that they undergo extensive training to handle nearly any situation that arises. They also work long hours, arriving 90 minutes before each performance and leaving only after wishing all of our patrons goodnight. To get a better sense of their responsibilities, I played “Undercover Boss” at a Pal-

ladium performance. I read the “Volunteer Manual” cover to cover and proudly donned the uniform of dark pants, white shirt and a tie. I reported to the pre-show usher meeting and received my assignments for the evening. I greeted patrons and scanned tickets in the South Lobby, then moved around the venue to assist with seating – under the watchful eye of an experienced volunteer mentor. For nearly five hours I stood, walked, smiled, welcomed and worked as a team with my fellow ushers. I learned, among other things, that our volunteers are a wonderful source of new ideas. As our front-line ambassadors, they are uniquely positioned to identify new ways to enhance the guest experience. Perhaps most importantly, I learned that we literally could not provide first-class hospitality to our patrons without these volunteers. For them, this is a labor of love – love of the Center and our community. Jeffrey C. McDermott, the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation, is an occasional columnist. He can be reached as JMcDermott@TheCenterPresents.org.

Louie’s Wine Dive

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 701 Broad Ripple Ave., Indianapolis and 345 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: 4-pork gnocchi Price: $14 Anna’s take: The ambience alone of Louie’s Wine Dive in Broad Ripple already has me yearning to go back. The little wine bar is at Broad Ripple Avenue and College Avenue with an open concept of exposed brick walls, exposed wood and plenty of wine bottles displayed throughout the restaurant. I started my dining experience with the pineapple tuna nachos. This gluten-free appetizer stacked a thick nugget of sesame-encrusted tuna, a chunk of pineapple, wakame and sriracha aioli atop a corn tortilla chip. The plate is sharable, with five delicately balanced nachos, but you won’t want to share after tasting. For my main course, I ordered 4-pork

Gnocchi are small, thick dumplings made out of potatoes. They resemble pasta. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

gnocchi, which is essentially pasta made out of potatoes, so it also is gluten-free. The plump, little dumplings were warm and doughy. If comfort had a taste, it would be gnocchi. The dish is complemented with a house-made ragú and, as its name suggests, highlights pork. There’s bacon. There’s Italian sausage. There’s prosciutto. There’s pork shoulder. The meal is hearty and warm, and Louie’s Wine Dive definitely doesn’t skimp on the portions. The 4-pork gnocchi comes with a serving of focaccia, which I opted to use as an edible spoon to sop up the leftover sauce. Seriously, do not let that stuff go to waste. To top it off, I tried the beignets, which are dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of warm rum butter. Six beignets will run you $7, and $2 of that goes to Riley Hospital for Children. Suggested pairings: Argiano’s Non Confunditur Cabernet blend from Tuscany. A glass is $14. It isn’t overly tannic. Fruity notes of the wine counter the savory taste of the pasta. A bottle is $52.

Behind bars: Whiskey Clover Get it at Ocean Prime, Indianapolis Ingredients: .75 oz. Hennessy VS, .75 oz. Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey, 1 oz. honey water, 1 oz. fresh squeezed orange juice, .5 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice, flamed orange peel Directions: Add all ingredients to a shaker, fill with ice and shake well.

Candlelight Theatre show set By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers resident Kevin Shadle has a new twist in his latest Candlelight Theatre role. Shadle plays PLAY Judge Joseph Holt in James Trofatter’s “The (White) House of Horrors,” Oct. 12 to 28, at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in Indianapolis. Richards As Judge Advocate General of the Army, Holt was chief prosecutor in the trial of the alleged Abraham Lincoln assassination conspirators. The play centers on Mary Surratt, who was hanged after being found guilty. West “This role will be a bit different for me in that it is not a comedic role,” Shadle said. “I have done the Halloween show before and enjoy performing at the Presidential Harrison Site. From the actor’s perspective, it is an altogether different way to perform theater, a short vignette many times a night, for an audience that sometimes totals more than some commu-

nity theater audiences.” Noblesville resident Ann Richards is a relative newcomer to Candlelight Theatre, performing as Christmas Spider in last year’s holiday show. “It was so much fun, playing a spider in a former U.S. president’s home,” she said. Richards plays Francis Cleveland, wife of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president. Shadle “Such fun. I even get to do a little channeling (of spirits) during the play,” she said. Geist resident Donna Wing, Candlelight Theatre’s creative director, portrays Surratt. “The greatest challenge to me is in playing a role of Wing a woman found guilty of a crime where doubt is an element,” she said. Noblesville resident John West is playing President James A. Garfield. “I like this role as it is the first time I’ll be playing such a prominent person in history,” West said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville family home transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal was to create a space that was more functional for a family and create a design that reflected the homeowners’ personal taste. 1. The biggest change was removing the peninsula and expanding the kitchen into the dining area. 2. Relocating the fridge to the outside wall of the kitchen allowed for the addition of a large eat-in island. 3. All new cabinetry and quartz countertops were added, giving it a more modern look. 4. The fluorescent overhead light box was removed. Recessed and pendent lights were added to bring the space up to date. 5. The doorway to the laundry room was opened up, creating more space to add new cabinetry, locker-style storage and more countertop space. 6. For more details on this project, visit us on Facebook, Instagram and Houzz.

Background Info: This 1970s home in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Zionsville is home to a small family. Overall, the owners loved the location but never felt like the interior of the home functioned well for them or reflected their personal taste.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The focus of this project was the kitchen. It was very small and the design was dated. For similar reasons, the powder bath, laundry room and basement also needed updating. The home had never been updated, so everything inside was original.

Jerusalem’s Bethesda Pool beit not in the configuration people had assumed. Archaeologists have determined that the Bethesda Pool was built in two stages, with the northern section and the dam built first to collect and store water for the Temple. The second section, south of the dam, was built later to increase the pool’s storage capacity. When completed in the third century B.C., the two-section pool was 400 feet long, 165 feet wide and 50 feet deep, with steps leading into the water. In the fifth century, when the Bethesda Pool was not needed as a reservoir, Christians built a church atop the dam, with both sides of the church perched above the pool on arches anchored in the pool’s bottom. Whether Jesus healed a paralyzed man at the Bethesda Pool is a matter of faith. Whether the pool existed is not.

Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most famous miracles attributed to Jesus involved curing a paralyzed man unable to get into the healing waters of the Bethesda Pool. That once-doubted pool can now be seen in Jerusalem. TRAVEL The Gospel of John reports that the Bethesda Pool was near Jerusalem’s Sheep Gate and was surrounded by five porticos, suggesting a pentagonal configuration. Because pentagonal structures were un-

known in the first century and no pool had been found near the Sheep Gate, scholars once assumed the Bethesda Pool was either a literary device or inaccurately described. In the late 19th century, archaeologists uncovered a pool structure just north of the Temple Mount. Excavations in the 1950s revealed that the pool was rectangular, divided by a stone dam into two nearly square sections. The four sides and the central dam were all topped by colonnaded porticos. Scholars now agree that the Bethesda Pool not only existed where the Bible locates it, but that it had five porticos, al-
