MAYOR TO ASK FOR BONDS In presenting the 2021 budget, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard told the city council he plans to soon seek its approval for bonds to pay for an expansion of the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters and road projects in Home Place. City officials declined to provide an estimate on the amount of the bonds, as the plans are being refined. An announcement is expected within a few weeks. Brainard said the city will soon pay off some property tax bonds, which will allow it to add new bonds. The mayor announced plans for the CPD expansion project in 2015, but the project stalled when the city could not reach an agreement with Huntington Bank to purchase its building next door to make way for the project. The city filed an eminent domain lawsuit in May offering $915,000 in an attempt to acquire the property. Brainard told the council that the acquisition of the Huntington Bank building is nearly complete. An attorney for Huntington Bank did not respond to a request for comment as of press time. City officials declined to comment on pending litigation.

CPD video details shooting By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Police Dept. released a video Oct. 6 revealing more details about the July 27 incident in the Spring Creek UPDATE neighborhood that led to a police officer fatally shooting a suspect. The 11-minute video contains 911 calls, communication with dispatchers and footage from the body camera worn by the officer who shot the suspect. CPD identified the officer as Shane VanNatter, a 13-year veteran of the department and school resource officer at Carmel High School. The video walks through the timeline of events the morning of July 27, which includes the suspect, Julio Cesar Virula, 26, fatally shooting his girlfriend, Taylor Cox, 28, and shooting and injuring her mother. As Virula fled the scene, nearby residents called 911 to report his whereabouts. The video tracks VanNatter chasing Virula and ordering him to drop his weapon before more than a dozen shots are heard. VanNatter’s body camera was knocked to the ground during the chase, but it captured

audio of the event. Police said their investigation showed that VanNatter and Virula were both moving during the shooting. A handgun, which police say Virula reloaded after shooting Cox and her mother, was found near his body. “This is a clear indication that Mr. Virula intended to inflict more harm on others, the extent of which we’ll never know,” CPD Lt. James Semester said in the video. CPD Chief Jim Barlow said the department’s internal investigation shows that VanNatter’s use of force was within CPD policy. CPD turned over its investigation to the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, which is awaiting a ballistics report before finalizing its review.

Visit library in Merchants’ Square By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With many of its books shelved in unplugged freezers, the Carmel Clay Public Library is taking full advantage UPDATE of its new home. The Merchants’ Square Main Library was set to open Oct. 12 at 2140 E. 116th St. in a building that most recently housed a Marsh grocery store. The relocation allows for a $40 million renovation and expansion of the library’s Main Street building to proceed more quickly, although it will be two years before it moves back to its normal spot. “One important factor in the main library construction timeline is that the demolition, renovations and additions are happening to an existing building,” CCPL Communications Manager Christy Walker said. “Part of the construction process will include protecting and isolating parts of the building that aren’t being as heavily impacted by the project. In other areas, the addition will be tied in with existing elements and systems, with all the challenges that implies.” Library hours at Merchants’ Square

The 10th annual Million Meal Marathon will be more akin to a collection of 1-mile fun runs this year. GIVING BACK The event is normally held in one day during approximately 11 hours at Lucas Oil Stadium. Because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year it will stretch from Oct. 13 to Nov. 7 at the Million Meal Movement Warehouse at 9250 Corporation Dr. in Indianapolis. Carmel resident Nancy Hintz and her husband, Dan, co-founded Million Meal Movement, a nonprofit, in 2007. The Million Meal Marathon is the nonprofit’s signature event, but there are other events held throughout the year. “Usually, we would have two to three thousand people that would come through the course of a day and help package dry ingredients into a plastic bag, a rice soy casserole meal people would be able to cook up,” Hintz said. “With COVID, we wanted to keep everyone safe, so we have about 40 different shifts of small groups of 25 or less throughout the course of a month where families or companies can package food.” Hintz said everyone wears masks and gloves and keeps 6 to 8 feet apart instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder as in the past. “We are trying to meet the tremendous need that has (resulted from) COVID,” Hintz said. “There is just an unprecedented demand out there.” Hintz said the event has added a new meal of macaroni and cheese. “We worked with a dietitian at Gleaners Food Bank to come up with a macaroni and

cheese that was also nutritious,” Hintz said. “It has lower sodium. It has enriched calcium and Vitamin D. Our understanding from our partners is the demand for food has increased two to three times.” All the food goes to the food banks and pantries throughout Indiana. Two thousand volunteers are needed as well as monetary donations to cover the cost of ingredients. Every dollar provides four meals. To donate, visit bit.ly/ millionmealmovement. Weekly packs will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, with three available shifts daily. Two weekend packs also will be held to accommodate families and small groups. Cost to participate is $30 for individuals and $100 for families of up to five. “That covers the cost of ingredients of the food they are packing,” Hintz said. “The marathon is mostly driven through corporate sponsorship.” To volunteer, visit bit.ly/marathonpack.

Black Carmel residents speak out on frustrations, building more inclusive community

“If this is truly a community that is one of the best places to live, it should be the best place for all to live,” she said. “Everyone should be able to share in that experience.”

‘What’s the trade off?’
By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
Ti’Gre McNear and her family knew they would be in the minority when they moved to Carmel in 2008. But she had a good impression of the city, because after college, she had frequently visited a good friend who lived here without incident. It didn’t take long, Ti’Gre McNear though, before she started noticing that life in Carmel was different than anyplace else she had lived. She remembers in 2008 trying to make friends at an ice cream social at her daughter’s new Carmel school and being told by another parent that she was “moving too fast.” When McNear asked what that meant, the parent told her that Carmel wasn’t ready for African Americans.
reat schools. Well-maintained parks. Beautiful neighborhoods. These are just some of the many reasons 100,000 people have chosen to live in Carmel, a city frequently recognized as a best place to live in various rankings. But for much of Carmel’s Black community, which makes up less than 3 percent of the population, choosing to live here leads to certain burdens not faced — or often even realized — by the city’s 84-percent white majority. Frequent misunderstandings. Being stereotyped. Battle fatigue. Not likely to help any city achieve a top ranking, these are scenarios many of Carmel’s Black residents often face in their hometown, a place some moved to despite advice from friends against it. For some of Carmel’s Black residents, there is a constant tension between loving life in a much-acclaimed city and their daily experience in the minority. Here are some of their stories.
‘Being a part of the community’ Rona Ash loves living in Carmel. She loves her home, her neighborhood, her friends, the parks and so much more. Growing up in Indianapolis, that’s not something she ever thought she’d say. “When I grew up, you didn’t pass 96th Street. It Rona Ash was a known fact: You’ll get a ticket or arrested,” Ash said. “It had such a bad reputation, but my husband is very convincing and very forward thinking. He was like, ‘How can you judge a whole community by things you knew growing up?’” So, in 2004, the Ash family moved to Carmel, just in time for their oldest child to start first grade at College Wood Elementary in the school’s first year at its current location. She described Carmel as being “like Mayberry,” the friendly little fictional town made famous by the “Andy Griffith Show,” where everyone knew each other and was always willing to lend a hand. In many ways, Carmel is still like that, Ash said, but it didn’t take long for her to question the family’s move north. “The first years were challenging. I cried and I
wanted to send our kids back to Washington Township,” Ash said. “I didn’t realize my children would be integrating a school. It took me so far back to what I had experienced as a young child, where I was one of a handful (of Black students) and there were no teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers or others in the school that looked like me or had a background similar to mine.” The family stayed put, despite misunderstandings with school administrators, a door-to-door solicitor telling the family to “go back to Africa” and getting pulled over frequently “for no reason,” Ash said, although she believes the Carmel Police Dept. has made improvements and increased its diversity through the years. “There are some things I don’t like, but we’ve decided as a family the way to make things better is being here, being around, making friends and being a part of the community,” she said. Even though her son is now 22, she still worries for him. An avid runner, he often gets up at 5 a.m. to jog through the neighborhood in a hoodie, earphones in. She cautions him to always announce his presence when approaching other people on his route. “It terrifies you that someone might judge your child before they even understood they’re running in their neighborhood,” she said. “I’ve always had to instruct my kid, as every parent does, about appropriate behaviors in public, but even more so than other children.” It’s a fear most local parents don’t have to consider for their own children. Ash hopes that more Carmel residents will try to understand the daily challenges that their neighbors with different backgrounds face.
“I can still go in stores in Carmel and people will look the other way or look right past me or clench their purses. It happens to our children, to women and men, it doesn’t matter. (Other people) base their relationships with us based on the information they see in the media and the stereotypes.”
—Ti’Gre McNear
Later, another parent from that school called the Indiana Dept. of Child Services after McNear’s daughter mentioned she had received a spanking at home. And one time, she said, a Carmel police officer heading in the opposite direction pulled her over for expired plates that he couldn’t have seen when he initiated the traffic stop. “It could’ve gone really wrong,” McNear said. “He was elevated, and I was elevated because I felt like he had racially profiled me.”

credit the idea that black lives matter. “I feel like there’s a lot of deep-seated prejudices and thoughts about people of color in the white Catholic community,” Crosby said. “Why would (a Black person) want to be a part of that?” Crosby believes race relations can improve when neighbors — whether on the same block or in the same region of the state — with different backgrounds take the time to get to know each other beyond the surface level. “Don’t be afraid to get into conversations about our history, really get to know people and really think outside of your bubble,” he said. “That’s what we’ve done too much as Americans; we look at our immediate experience and we feel that’s the experience everyone else has.”
‘People aren’t making these stories up’ Adam Bray believes a little bit of listening by Carmel’s white community could go a long way. “I don’t hear a lot of that going on,” he said. “I hear a lot of defensiveness and a lot of denial of facts. People aren’t making these stories up. They’re hurting, and Adam Bray it would be nice to hear the majority listen and absorb what the experience is and have a little more compassion.” A 17-year resident of Carmel, Bray said he doesn’t believe racism is more of a problem here than elsewhere in the nation. When he’s encountered it, it’s been more directed at his children than himself, although he believes most of it is unintentional. Bray said his children have been referred to as “brown slave kid” at recess after the class read a book about a slave child, an incident he believe stems from white parents being so much in the majority they don’t feel the need to have conversations with their children about race, and from educators who only teach from the white perspective. Bray said his children — who are biracial — have been disciplined more severely and more frequently than white students at school. When he brought up the issue, school administrators disagreed with his assessment, Bray said. “My angle isn’t to suggest somebody involved is being racist. I don’t come to that conclusion by any means,” he said. “A lot of this is underlying. It’s really unconscious, a lot of it, not intentional. Sometimes,
it’s hard to put your finger on it.” Bray believes acknowledging that systemic racism exists is an important first step toward addressing it, but he doesn’t feel that’s a priority for many Carmel residents. “If you wanted to live in America, you never even possibly have to see a person of color,” Bray said. “You could probably do that pretty easily in Carmel. That’s a lot where the issue stems from, denial. You’re just in your own little bubble, so it’s easy to believe whatever you wish to believe.”
‘Respect and love everyone’ Like many people, Tishia Smith and her young family moved to Carmel because of the excellent schools and low crime rate. She knew they’d be in the minority as an African American family, but it wasn’t a reason to not live in the city that offered a great fit. “I don’t think everything needs to be made a big isTishia Smith sue because of the color of your skin,” she said. “My husband and I believe in teaching our children to respect and love everyone. Once you start getting into the color of skin, I just don’t think that’s a necessary factor when you’re raising children and doing business.” Carmel has proven to be a wonderful home, Smith said, and her four kids — ages 5 to 14 — are thriving in Carmel schools. Although the family hasn’t experienced direct racism at the local level, Smith said it feels as if the national discussion of race has taken a turn in recent years. “Those that are racist feel empowered. They no longer have to hide behind a veil, so someone who was racist 10 or 20 years ago who may not have said or acted on (racism) now feels free to be who they really are and act on it without fear of repercussion,” she said. Residents can fight the changing narrative at the local level by calling out racism when they see it, Smith said. “If you’re not anti-racist, you’re racist. If you’re not doing things within your power to stop the injustices, you’re going along with it implicitly,” she said. “We need more of the white community to say, ‘Hey, that’s not cool,’ (and) more of the kids within the high school that are not committing (racist acts) themselves but they see it, they need to speak up and say, ‘That’s not right.’ “It’s going to take honest, hard behavior change within the white community and in everybody.”
“Don’t be afraid to get into conversations about our history, really get to know people and really think outside of your bubble. That’s what we’ve done too much as Americans; we look at our immediate experience and we feel that’s the experience everyone else has.”

LOCAL LEADERS RESPOND Current asked local leaders to respond to issues raised by the Black community and Carmel’s reputation regarding diversity and inclusion. “The Carmel Police Dept. is committed to excellent service to all community members — residents, visitors and workers alike. We understand that perceptions can be reality for some people. We also know that those perceptions can sometimes be damaging and difficult to overcome. We are working hard to engage the community and reverse negative stereotypes that have been perpetuated for many years. ... We invite anyone with questions or concerns to come speak with us and have an open discussion. We welcome the opportunity to be transparent.” — Carmel Police Dept. Chief Jim Barlow (read the full response, including specific ways CPD is working to increase transparency, at youarecurrent.com) “It all starts with listening and trying to understand one another. Fighting and arguing isn’t the answer. Working together to make the world a better place is what needs to happen. My response is, ‘Sit down, let’s talk. What makes you believe that to be true? Tell me what’s happening with you or your family or students that makes you feel that way?’ That’s where the conversation starts.” — Carmel Clay Schools Supt. Michael Beresford “I walk in downtown Carmel all the time and hear different languages spoken on a daily basis. It’s a good thing for a city when different cultures come together and get to know each other and exchange ideas about each other. That’s what America has always been and still is, in many ways, and that’s been the strength of our country, when people from different backgrounds come together and unite.” — Mayor Jim Brainard

LETTER
Heroes and villians
City should consider sculpture by Black artist
Commentary by Terry Anker Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, famed originator of the James Bond films, took famed author Ian Fleming’s fictional British Secret Service agent to iconic status. Some 67 years after 007 first appeared, the recent delay, again, of the premier of the 25th movie installment of the series — ‘No Time to Die’ — made international headlines. Some entertainment industry experts hold that the film’s postponement led to the closing of the national Regal chain of theaters. While some might decry the formulaic and predictable nature of the franchise, millions find comfort in the standard. The bad guy loses, the good guy wins and the world is saved once more. Black Nehru jacket, check. Beautiful companion and unusual, if not freak-ofnature security guard, check. Sinister but cool look in the eye, check. Signet ring or small tattoo to confirm their allegiance to the cause, check and double check. We could discern the evil megalomaniac from our virtuous protagonist even without the swanky orchestral movement that would usher him in. Of the many actors who have undertaken the Bond role, each wore a tailored suit, a cheeky attitude and a Walther PPK. In remarkable, if human, form, Bond would overcome evil by relying on his own capacity, with a bit of help from the ingenious Q. As kids, we’d cheer as the corrupt political leader, obsessive media mogul, mentally deranged heiress or wily foreign power would be cleverly corralled into their final collapse at the hands of our champion. But today, can we tell the difference between the heroes and villains? Wearing the same safe blue suit and hospital mask, they all look alike. No music announces their intention, and no distinguishing scar marks their countenance. It is up to us to choose the winner. Are we up for it?

No more swearing, I swear Commentary by Danielle Wilson For the millionth time, I’m vowing to curtail my cussing. Not go cold turkey (I’m not stupid!), but rather an easing HUMOR off on the R-rated material. I don’t always judge my audience correctly, and a little self-censorship would go a long way toward a classier me. It’s hard though, especially in a s&*% year like this one. With each new Trump debacle, COVID crisis, election trauma or family heartbreak, I want to scream like an inebriated salty-dog sailor. That’s a lot of screaming. October alone has forced me to become truly creative in my word choice, often resulting in brand new swears like “t^$#-waddler.” You’re welcome. It’s also difficult because I no longer have young children to act as natural barriers to my filthy mouth. My oldest accidentally dropped an F-bomb during a recent phone conversation and all I did was laugh. Laugh! Then there’s the whole scientific argument for cursing. Research (i.e., Myth
Busters) has proven that even muttering obscenities under your breath can increase pain tolerance. Apparently, an adamant “darn” doesn’t come close to the power of a perfectly lobbed “c%#*s@!*&er!” And let’s be honest, when used appropriately and with solid comedic timing, foul language is hilarious. That’s why I love my family and co-workers. They get it. They know that profanity is simply a punch line, a vent, or a colorful way to say, “Life sucks right now.” So, maybe it’s not possible to totally expurgate my vocabulary, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try. When you come close to using an unmentionable word in front of high school students, it’s time to reevaluate. Here’s to a classier me. Peace out.

Editor, I am writing to stand in solidarity with fellow Carmel resident Ti’Gre McNear and provide support for the concerns expressed regarding the planned J. Seward Johnson statue of a young Black girl swinging around a stop sign. While I do not personally take issue with the particular depiction of this beautiful black child, I do take issue with the response given by our leaders to this distinct request. The Carmel City Council, and Mayor Jim Brainard, specifically, have an opportunity to invest in a Black sculptor and essentially put their money where their mouth is. J. Seward Johnson’s estate has profited from the mayor’s taxpayer-funded investment in his collection. Why not provide that same opportunity for economic upward mobility to a Black sculptor? While the council does not have the ultimate say in what art or artist is chosen, it does hold the purse strings. The ability to appropriate this money is just as important as the ability to choose the art installed. Chaka Coleman, Carmel Read the full letter at youarecurrent.com

Pros and cons of black licorice Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Lots of big news in the world of candy. First, as you may have heard, due to COVID-19, there will be no HUMOR Peeps this Halloween. In fact, there may be no Halloween this Halloween. Scientists have recently raised concern about licorice. Apparently, a Massachusetts construction worker died of an overdose. He ate three bags of black licorice a day for two weeks, which the experts say results in a toxic level of glycyrrhizic acid. Glycyrrhizic also is the sound your stomach makes when you eat three bags of licorice a day for two weeks. The guy collapsed in a fastfood restaurant, where he reportedly ate three Whoppers a day for two weeks. No mention of that in the autopsy report. So, too much black licorice is bad for you, but apparently small amounts of the treat are beneficial, slowing the effects of aging on the brain and keeping mental skills sharp, controlling respiratory problems and soothing a sore throat. It also combats hepatitis and calms skin irritations, just to name a few reasons to eat the occasional Twizzler.
By the way, red licorice is not licorice; it’s just candy. If you are color blind, take special note whether you binge on black or red. And don’t play checkers or roulette. Currently, you can buy licorice over the counter — the candy counter, that is. No prescription needed. But that will all change if Eli Lilly can figure out a way to get those rubbery sticks into a tiny plastic bottle. If that happens and black licorice is officially declared a drug, the cost will soar and might even exceed what you pay for licorice in the movie theater. Then the government will require warnings on the bottle: Side effects include blackened teeth, no teeth, inflamed gums, jaw ache, weight gain and funny facial expressions when chewing. Do not eat licorice if you plan to operate heavy machinery, drive a car or ride a tricycle. In rare cases, licorice may cause impotence, but findings are inconclusive because most of the people eating black licorice are under 7 years old. My wife loves sweets, but she always feels bad about this guilty pleasure. So, when I saw her step into the kitchen pantry to nibble on something, I called to her, “What are you eating in there, Mary Ellen?”
“Ummlicrsssh.” “I knew it. Licorice. I hope you already heard the news, Mary Ellen. A little black licorice is good for you, but too much is bad for you. Or are you are eating red licorice?” “Not sure, Dick. The light automatically goes off when I close the door.” Just for fun, I looked up “Effects of different candies on your health.” A lot of investigations are in the works. I would happily volunteer as a test eater, but most of this research is done on animals, and they’re generally opposed to being experiment subjects. At least a diet of Skittles, Bit O’ Honeys and gummy bears is a step up from being forced to smoke three packs of cigarettes a day. A final note to kids: If you go trick-ortreating, avoid eating too much black licorice if it ends up in your sack. And please, wear a mask!

When it comes to seeing clearly at all distances, there is a huge difference in no-line bifocals (also known as no-line VISION trifocals or progressive lenses) designs and manufacturers. Let’s start with the basics. If you look through a keyhole, the closer you get, the more of a room you can see. As you move back, you see less and less. This is called field of view. In digitally processed, progressive lenses, the prescription can be etched onto the back surface of the lens (closer to your eye) to give you a wider field of view. Older technologies that are hand ground onto the front surface of the lenses give a much narrower and restricted peripheral field view as well as “swim and sway” distortion and adaptation issues. Another alarming difference between digital progressive lenses is in the precision and accuracy of the prescription. Manually ground lenses at your local one-hour retailer, or your typical insurance-grade/ mass-produced lenses, are measured in 0.25 of a diopter. Digitally-fabricated lenses
are accurate to 0.01 diopter. That is 25 times more accurate! That precision and accuracy is analogous to the difference between watching your favorite movie on VHS or BluRay, using a 1.0 megapixel camera versus a 12 megapixel iPhone, or listening to music on an LP versus a CD. When discussing these differences, I always try to make the analogy to my patients the difference between a donut tire and a 50,000-mile, all-weather tire. Technically speaking, they are both tires, but given the option of driving on the highway at 55 mph in the rain, do you honestly think they perform equally? The same is true with no-line progressive lenses. They don’t all perform the same. So, the next time you are making the investment in your vision for the next few years, make sure you understand all of the huge technological differences. Dr. Jeremy A.

Salon moves to Main Street By Shelly Gattlieb news@currentincarmel.com After more than a year of success on Adams Street, Redefined Salon is relocating to the Carmel Arts & Design RELOCATION district and expanding its services. The salon will still specialize in hair color and extensions but also will have a mini boutique with clothing sourced from another local women-owned business, The Girls in Grey. Best friends Tiffany Glassburn and Gabrielle McDougle look forward to growing the salon on the corner of Main Street and Range Line Road. “We love it here already,” McDougle said. “It’s the perfect place and the perfect time for us.” The co-owners agree that continuing education on products is the key to continued success. “I really did my research,” Glassburn said. “Natural Beaded Row and Invisible Bead are the best for the client’s hair by far, so those are the two methods we offer.” Glassburn and McDougle have worn hair extensions for several years and love the

confidence they’re able to give other women. “You can just tell they’re so happy, and they walk out with their head held a little higher,” Glassburn said. Redefined Salon’s grand opening will be from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 17 at the new location, 23 E. Main St., Suite 300. Special discounts on Botox, clothing, eyebrow microblading, hair services and hair products will be offered. “We can’t wait,” McDougle said. “Come in whenever, have a mimosa and an appetizer and just let us introduce you to our new space.”

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s production is a sign of the times
Civic Theatre Ghost Light Cabaret, benefit for Civic Theatre, 7 p.m. Oct. 15, virtual live performance from The Tarkington, Carmel. For more, visit civictheatre.org.
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Gregory Hancock, it seemed natural to create pieces about the uncertainty everyone has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. PERFORMANCE “We’ve created a specific piece for the time that we are in right now and the things we’ve experienced the last few months,” he said. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will present four performances of “Dances for a New World: Part One” Oct. 22-24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances will be followed by “Dances for a New World: Part Two” Jan. 14-16, 2021 and “Dances for a New World: Part Three” April 1. The season closes with “There’s No Place Like Home.” “All four pieces are interconnected in a way,” Hancock said. “The first part is all new dances and choreography that reflect the times that we’ve been in the last few months, the isolation, the fear of how art is going to come back. There’s been a lot of feelings I’ve had and the dancers have had, and (we) try to create those feelings and emotions in this new piece.” Hancock said there is a lot of eclectic music and one big piece. There is no intermission in the 75-minute show. There is no partnering and dancers aren’t allowed to touch. “At first, it was challenging, and I was little discouraged on how we do that,” Hancock said. “Then, I decided to look at what we can do instead of what we can’t do. It’s been a creative, enjoyable process for me to create this new work. I think people will be surprised by the performance. It’s a new departure for the company. “A lot of our pieces are story driven or narrative driven. While this does have a narrative, it’s much more abstract than most of our pieces.” Hancock said the narrative is clear with everyone experiencing social distancing and isolation. “I think the audiences will be able to relate to the piece and what is presented on stage,” he said. “It’s safe to come back to (The Tarkington). We’re bringing beauty back to the world. There’s some emotional things in the piece, but it is hopeful and inspiring.” Music variety ranges from avant garde to classical. “Even our performers are social distancing on stage,” said Hancock, adding that dancers and the audience will wear face masks. The dance studio closed March 13 and didn’t reopen until September. “We had essentially six months off, and being in a physical career, that’s like six years off for other people,” company dancer Abbie Lessaris said. “Physically, it has been extremely challenging for us to have that much time off and then to jump back into

Exhibit features rare books, art By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alexandra Hudson figures this is a perfect time in American history for this exhibit. “Some Books Make Us Free” is an ART exhibition of artistic interpretation of rare books at the Harrison Center, 1505 N. Delaware St., Indianapolis. “I’m thrilled to be involved in this initiative of the Harrison Center which is able to marry all the things that I love, which Hudson is classic ideas of human freedom and human dignity, rare books and great works of antiquity that contribute to the freedom that we enjoy today and also art and civil discourse,” said Hudson, who is serving as Harrison Center’s Scholar in Residence. “We have commissioned local artists to interpret and respond to and bring to life the themes of these rare books.” Visitors can view rare books from which the commissioned art will be inspired, including an 18th-century edition of the “Magna Carta;” an early edition of Samuel

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 124 E. Main St., Westfield What to get: Brisket Price: $10-$18 Anna’s take: My sister-in-law was born and raised in Memphis, and she’s always taking me to hot BBQ spots in Tennessee. Next time she visits me, I can’t wait to take her by Ben’s BBQ Shack in Westfield. The name is appropriate — owner Ben Hoffman operates out of a tiny shack on Ind. 32 in downtown Westfield. The place is so small, there’s no inside dining. People line up outside and order at the window, then take their purchases with them or eat outdoors on the picnic tables. Let me tell you, this spot is worth waiting in line for, regardless of the weather. The menu is short, but the quality is huge. My favorite was the brisket — a delectable, melt-in-your-mouth order of meat available for $10 per half pound or $18 per pound. I also loved the pulled pork. I’m a sandwich girl, so I prefer my pulled

pork on a bun, but you can opt for no bun. The pulled pork is $8 per half pound or $14 per pound. A pulled pork sandwich is $8, and a brisket sandwich is $10. In addition, delicious ribs are available for $14 per pound. Hoffman makes everything in-house, including the barbecue sauce and sides of coleslaw and baked beans. Ben’s BBQ Shack is open from noon to 3 p.m. Fridays and 4 to 8 p.m. Saturdays, or until Hoffman sells out each day. I suggest getting there early. He sells out frequently.

Photographer opens gallery By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel photographer Roben Bellomo didn’t want a traditional art gallery. Bellomo and Dallas-based phoART tographer Jim Hamel wanted a more creative approach to their gallery, providing experiences through the art. “We wanted a place where everybody could engage in some way, shape or form,” Bellomo said. “We are doing quarterly exhibits of limited pieces. The opening collection is part of a perspective series, which plays on the way we all experience the world in different ways. We were on a trip to Ireland last year for two weeks. We went to all the same places and at all the same time. What we were trying to do was show how differently we saw what we saw and how differently we captured it. Maybe we should take more time talking and listening to how other people experience the world instead of thinking it’s all the same.” BEHN Gallery, 2149 Glebe St., Suite 100, opened last month in the Village of West Clay in Carmel. The gallery’s name is derived from the

initials of the names for Bellomo and his wife Adrienne’s children, Neva and Bodhi, and Hamel and his wife Susan Fesmire’s children, Elizabeth and Hannah. Bellomo said there will be different artwork to display the creativity of both co-owners. Bellomo and his wife opened BELLOMO Studios in 2014, centering on fine Portraiture, small business branding imagery and commission pieces.

Living large in luxury outdoor spaces Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard Recently, we had the opportunity to tour the homes on display at this year’s HomeA-Rama.

Several of the homeowners took steps to make their outdoor living rooms enjoyable throughout spring, summer and fall. If you’re brave enough, you could even enjoy a nice fire in the middle of winter.

Unique furnishing can make outdoor spaces enjoyable. (Submitted photo)
living spaces is something we’ve been perfecting for years. We’ve found that a compelling outdoor room will include most, if not all, of the following elements: • Covering – Something overhead that can provide anything from dappled shade to a complete roof. • Enclosure – There are various systems of retractable screens, collapsible walls of windows and doors. • Proximity – The relative location to the interior space feels seamless. • Comfort – If you outfit your outdoor living space with comfortable chairs, tables, or even hammocks, you will want to go outside even more. • Sound – A source of background sounds that could come from speakers or a bubbling boulder can calm the
nerves and mask out distracting noises from beyond. • Entertainment – Sources of entertainment can range from reading a book to asking Alexa to make your every wish come true. • Cooking – Your outdoor living space can include an auxiliary kitchen with a grill, refrigerators, kegerators and even a pizza oven. Isn’t it time to fire up the grill and relax? Stay home, be moved. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel homeimprovement firm.

OR Rear Wall of Sidì Saiyyed Mosque in Ahmedabad, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Ahmedabad’s unique mosque Commentary by Don Knebel A 16th-century mosque in Ahmedabad, the fifth-largest city in India and one of the world’s fastest-growing cities, TRAVEL provides a symbol of the city. It also provides a symbol of the little-known contribution of African slaves to Indian architecture. Ahmedabad is in Gujarat, a state along the northwest coast of India. In 1411, Ahmad Shah I, the sultan of Gujarat and a member of the Muzaffarid Dynasty, erected the Bhadra Fort on the east bank of the Sabarmati River and founded the surrounding town, which he named Ahmedabad, as his new capital. By this time, Gujarat was home to slaves known as “Hapshi,” who had been captured near the Horn of Africa. Rulers of the Muzaffarid Dynasty used the Hapshi as bodyguards, and some rose to high positions in the military and the government. By 1537, as many as 5,000 Hapshis were working for the sultan of Gujarat. When Muzzafar Shah III became sultan in 1561, he gave a Hapshi named Sidì Saiyyed an important
role in his administration. Sidì Saiyyed designed and built a mosque near the Bhadra Fort in the center of Ahmedabad. Workers completed the mosque in 1573, the same year that Mughal Emperor Akbar captured Gujarat from the Muzaffarids. Today, only the sandstone prayer hall, the open front of which faces the courtyard, remains of what is known as the Sidì Saiyyed Mosque. The prayer hall is renowned for 10 arched sandstone screens (jalis) on the rear and side walls. The best known of the intricately carved screens reflects the Tree of Life, which Muslims believe grows in Paradise. The prayer hall is the best-known example of what has become known as the Gujarati style of design. Residents of Ahmedabad often use the Tree of Life from the Sidì Saiyyed Mosque to represent their city.
