The photo showed the dog lying on his bed looking “defeated� and feeling “hopeless,� according to shelter staff. “But all we can do when we encounter a situation like this is collectively shake our heads ... and hope,� the message read on Facebook. But something happened on Facebook. The post received thousands of likes, shares and comments, leading the older dog to find a permanent home in two hours. ‘’Facebook proved today what a powerful tool it can be in spreading the word about animals in need,� HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens wrote in a message to Current in Carmel. “There are many more senior dogs and cats sitting in cages at the shelter, so we encourage those touched by Ox's photo to still come in and consider adopting one of those equally deserving animals.� Lee Ann Walthall took Ox home and sent a message to HSHC, saying, “Thank you for all the wonderful support and kind words.

Carmel’s example to become “smart cities� with innovative design and environmentallyfriendly practices. “When I started building the Carmel city two decades ago, I wanted it to be beautiful, walkable and people-friendly,� Brainard told reporters in Hyderabad. “Mixed land use made a lot of difference for us. We have dedicated lanes for people to walk and ride bicycles. It not only made our city environmentally friendly but also healthier.� Roundabouts and bike trails were of particular interest to Indian reporters asking about Carmel. Brainard had a packed itinerary, participating in discussions with the Foundation for Futuristic Cities, the Environmental Protection Training and Research Institute, the Hyderabad Urban Labs, U.S. consulates and more.

VOCE singers perform Dec. 12 news@currentincarmel.com

Voce. Pronounced “VOE-chay,” the Italian word means “voice.” And VOCE, a group of professionally trained vocalists pasEVENT sionate about music, has 15 voices that have been heard all across Indiana and into Florida, Ohio and Michigan. “We love the joy of sharing and hearing music with each other and then spreading it with others,” said Carmel’s Mary Dawn Krege, who has been a member of the group since its beginning eight years ago. “And now we want to treat listeners to a Christmas madrigal, which is always fun.” Originating in Italy, the madrigal was the most important secular form of music of its time, reaching its peak in the mid 1500s. In America, the madrigal evolved into a dinner or feast. A form of dinner theater, it often is presented during the Christmas season. The music performed at a madrigal dinner is usually a mix of choral music from the medieval to renaissance periods and Christmas carols. VOCE’s madrigal on Dec. 12 at Union Chapel United Methodist Church includes a fivecourse, “Renaissance” dinner, period costumes, skits and music. The dinner includes an appetizer of potato and leek soup, French bread, chicken with dried fruit, wild rice and glazed carrots and a dessert of bread pudding. Cost is $40, and funds benefit the group

Brenda Iacocca will direct the production, and keyboardist extraordinaire Charles Manning will conduct the choir and play the organ. “We have different professions but we all have had vocal training which we put to use for what we love,” said Krege, a music teacher of the preschoolers at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. “Our mission is to give those who love singing an opportunity to work and perform with others who are passionate about developing their craft and giving performances that move people and enrich lives.”

Rep. Brooks congratulates school on Blue Ribbon status news@currentincarmel.com

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School recently hosted U.S. Rep. Susan W. Brooks as part of its 2015 National Blue Ribbon School celebrations. OLMC was named a Blue Ribbon School in September by the U.S. EDUCATION Department of Education. Brooks met with the newly elected student council and toured classrooms. She also answered about a dozen questions from students ranging from, "What is the toughest part of your job?" to "How do you balance work and family?” Her visit ended with a school assembly where she presented principal Sister Mary Emily Knapp a copy of the Congressional Record. Brooks officially bestowed this designation in front of the House of Representatives Oct. 26. Brooks shared that her now-adult children attended Catholic schools. She said earning a Blue Ribbon recognition is a testament to the teachers, staff, students and parents, all of whom play a vital role in the success of OLMC. Her remarks to the students included “be nice to everyone … know that your hard work and dedication brought you to receiving this award and that you are a Christ-centered community and Jesus Christ is the center of your life.” The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program

OLMC School was named an Exemplary High Performing School, meaning it is among Indiana’s highest performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests and student performance and high school graduation rates are among the highest levels. OLMC School is one of only 10 schools in Indiana to receive the National Blue Ribbon designation, and was recognized in a ceremony in early November in Washington, D.C.

Diwali is the largest annual event for the group, and Bhargava was awarded a seat at the VIP table. “My parents are very strong on culture. Growing up, my parents always made sure that culture was part of my life.” Bhargava said. Bhargava said the India Association is the starting point she would recommend to anyone wishing to learn more about Indian culture. “Come to our events, it’s definitely a great way to learn about Indian people,” she said. During the interview portion of the pageant, Bhargava was asked to give advice to young girls struggling with school. “My advice would be to believe in themselves and have self-confidence, because that’s the backbone of any problem,” she said. “So if they set their goals high in school and just believe in themselves, they’ll rise to the top.”

Tommy Day has always been a movie buff. “When I was a kid, I wanted to make movies,� he said. So it seems natural that Day, 30, came up with the idea to create a movie-pitching party game called Buy the Rights. DIVERSION The players create their own movies based on four decks of cards. “The premise is you’re a screenwriter trying to sell the movie to a producer, trying to get them to buy the rights to your story,� Day said. Day started toying with the idea in January. In April, Day and his wife, Riley, made index cards and played the game with their friends Michelle and Chad Yadon. Both couples live in Indianapolis. “It was actually a lot of fun, so we formed a team and have been working on it since April,� Day said. Michelle works as the inclusion supervisor for Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation, where she oversees the adaptive program for people with disabilities. “We had such a good time, and we knew this could be a success,� Michelle said of the

first time they played the game. Day began a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise enough money to submit an order to the manufacturer. Michelle said they are excited about the response on Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. “We all believe in the game, but we still need more backers,� she said. “The game is a blast because there are so many possibilities, and it’s fun to see them all unfold.�

The game was an official selection of the 2015 Boston Festival of Indie Games in September. “We were one of 40 games that got a table at the event,� Day said. As of Dec. 4, there has been more than $10,500 raised of the $15,000 needed. The project will only be funded if that figure is pledged by 5 p.m. Dec. 11.

Sam’s Wish aims to help families in need

1h 0dSaTh 1PX[Th “ news@currentincarmel.com

For Heather Stephenson and her family, every day is an opportunity GIVING BACK to help make the world a better place. That’s the goal for Stephenson’s new notfor-profit organization, Sam’s Wish, started in 2014 and inspired by her younger brother, Sam McNew, a longtime Special Olympics athlete. “Our mission is to help people in their time of need and to help people with disabilities to live happier, healthier lives,â€? said Stephenson, a Carmel resident. The nonprofit hopes to do that in tangible ways, such as funding adapted equipment for families in need, offering classes for adults with disabilities and launching a parents night or day out for parents of children with disabilities. To promote the vision behind Sam’s Wish, Stephenson, her husband Derek, along with friends and family, organized the “Evening in the Barn with the Jeremy Vogt Bandâ€? fundraiser last month.

The event took place inside Stephenson’s sister and brother-in-law’s barn and featured live music, comfort food, games, a silent auction and festive pies to conclude the evening. A video was also shown profiling Sam, his wish and Stephenson’s ambition to make that wish come true. “From volunteering for the Special Olympics for 20 years, I knew there were so many needs for people with disabilities that were not getting met,� Stephenson said. According to Stephenson, getting the organization up and running was not easy. From raising money and creating a website to becoming a tax-exempt organization, making Sam’s Wish a reality took time and support. Stephenson’s family has been there every step of the way to help, whether that be through donations or assisting with events. “I’m just very thankful of the support from all of our family, everybody wants to step in and help as much as they can,� Suzanne McMahon, Stephenson’s sister, said.

Couple honored for philanthropy By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com Carmel residents Mike and Susan Smith received the Living Legacy Award presented by Legacy Fund of HamilGIVING BACK ton County. Legacy Fund recently held its annual Celebration of Philanthropy event at the Ritz Charles, where the couple was recognized for their far-reaching impact in the community. “We are delighted to honor Mike and Sue, in part, because of the breadth of their philanthropy both in Hamilton County and throughout Central Indiana,” Legacy Fund President Terry Anker said, “but their wide ranging interest is only matched by the depth of impact they have brought to their giving.” The Smiths have supported dozens of organizations with their time, leadership and financial generosity — with education as a common thread through many of their efforts. In 2013, the Smiths offered a million-dollar, multi-year grant to fund Ivy Tech’s Associate Accelerated Program in Mike’s hometown of Lafayette, Ind. “Education is a priority for our family. Broadly speaking, education is the enabler that makes it possible for all of us to capture

our full potential and to realize our best opportunities,” Mike said. “I believe it is the ticket out of poverty. Multigenerational poverty can best be solved if we prepare new generations to break that cycle by making them better prepared to compete in our economy and our communities.” The Smiths have always encouraged their two adult children to engage in their own philanthropy. The family now shares in the decision-making regarding their philanthropic involvement.

Complete, Chef-Made Holiday Meals! Artist Yael Kahanov creates 3D sculptures out of metal and glass. (Submitted photo)

Former Carmel resident creates unique sculpture By Renee Larr “ ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ Artist Yael Kahanov, a former Carmel resident who recently moved to be near family, is creating a unique 3-D piece of art to ART adorn the wall in the Woodland Terrace senior living community. “A designer that knew my work brought me into (Woodland Terrace) and wanted a large piece for one of their projects,� Kahanov said. “They asked me to come with an idea. They showed me the logo, and I gave them three designs.� The piece chosen by Woodland Terrace is simple but has a unique meaning, Kahanov said. The piece will take two full months of work if she works on it every day. “It has to do with trees. It’s very simple. It’s probably about 8 feet tall,� Kahanov said. “On one of the trees, the leaf is down. To me it represents that at one point we do break. Life is not perfect.� Kahanov’s art is unique in that the pieces are large, heavy, wall-mounted pieces. She creates them with copper covered in glass fired at 1,800 degrees. She has also worked with etching and wood cuts and previously owned art galleries in Indianapolis and Carmel. “I’ve been in Indy for 40 some years. I had my business there for 30 years. I just left a few months ago for a new life closer to my children,� Kahanov said. “I did a lot for Eli Lilly and Methodist Hospital. I sold all over the country and world. Indianapolis really opened the doors for me.� Kahanov feels lucky to have been able to make her life’s passion into her livelihood. “My art is my job, my business,� she said.

Dan Byron has long been a major defender of freedom of press and speech. And as the 2016 election year nears, he is ELECTION busy working with members of the media to televise debates for major statewide races. Byron, a partner with Bingham Greenbaum Doll LLP, is president and chairman of the board of the Indiana Debate Commission. The Carmel resident was one of the founding members of the commission in 2007 and has been general counsel for the Indiana Broadcasters Association since 1997. Byron The IDC’s debate committee works to set up moderators and formats for statewide races. Then, the venue committee searches the state for the best debate locations. “Obviously Indianapolis is always one involved, but we try to catch all four corners of the state,� Byron said. “I think we’ve done a pretty good job of that in the past.� Byron said there will be at least two debates each for the 2016 U.S. Senate and governor general election races, but he said he hopes for more than that. One is typically a TV studio debate and the other would be a debate in front of a live audience of 150 to 300 people. “We don’t want to have ‘gotcha’ moments or personal attacks on any of the candidates running,� Byron said. “We’re more issue oriented. We want people to tell us positions on issues.� Byron said studio debates are less expensive and less difficult to produce. “But we’re committed to both,� he said. In 2008 Byron became the only nonbroadcaster to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the group for meritorious contributions. “This is my 53rd year in practicing law, and for most of that time, at least for the last 40 some years, my primary responsibilities have been with regard to media law,� he said. “As part of that, I’ve taken a shine to the First Amendment. I’ve gone overseas with the International Senior Lawyer Project for the same purpose, to open up countries to the most robust debate opportunities or discussion opportunities.�

CHS grad, brother learn to live without everyday items

1h 0dSaTh 1PX[Th “ news@currentincarmel.com How much paper does a typical American use in one year? And what are chorks, sporks and trongs? PODCAST The answer to the first question is approximately 700 pounds, and the rest are names of different eating utensils used around the world. But what these random facts have in common is they’re all topics of discussion for siblings and podcast cohosts, Julie Kinn and Marc Shecter. Their new podcast, Station Wagon with Marc and Kinn Julie, aims at exploring the cultural and historical implications of items and actions people often take for granted in their daily lives. And to further investigate these matters, Kinn and Shecter go without the featured podcast topic for two Shecter weeks to see how it affects daily life. So far, they have taken two-week breaks from going outside, using paper and staying up-to-date on the news, among other things. “You know, being able to look at things we take for granted, and look at, ‘why is this in our life? Why do we use paper so much for everything?’ and then go without it for a couple weeks, it’s pretty neat,� Kinn said. “It challenges the way we look at the world.� Both siblings grew up in central Indiana, with Shecter graduating from North Central High School and Kinn from Carmel High School. From there, Shecter received his master’s degree in instructional systems technology from Indiana University, while Kinn received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Once Shecter completed grad school, the two siblings began making their way west toward Washington, where they now reside around the Seattle area. Kinn works as a clinical psychologist, and Shecter is an online educator. “I moved out west after grad school, to Spokane, Wash., and then further west to the Seattle area to work for a different company,� Shecter said. “And then as my wife and I had kids, my parents followed us out, and then Julie and her family came also west.� Thoughts about starting a podcast, however, didn’t initiate until around three months

ago, when Kinn called her brother and posed the idea. For Shecter, the answer was obvious. “Julie just called me one day out of the blue and said, ‘hey, do you want to do a podcast?’ And you know, I thought about it for half of a second and just thought about how great it would be,� he said. The method behind Station Wagon Podcast is simple for the siblings and will remain that way for the many topics planned to come. It’s all about having fun and trying new things by giving up some of the old ones for a bit. “The main thing that I think we both agree with is that we want to keep having fun doing it,� Shecter said. “And, when we realize we’re not having fun with it anymore, we’re going to stop the podcast.� Kinn chuckled in response and continued, “I don’t see that happening any time soon.� Station Wagon podcasts with Marc and Julie can be found online at wagonpod.com and on iTunes, Stitcher and SoundCloud.

By Mark Ambrogi “ mark@youarecurrent.com It was no surprise to Soo Han, Carmel High School director of orchestra, that his students have embraced helping those with special needs learn to play instruments. “These kids love to share their pasCOVER STORY sion for music,� Han said. “These are just incredible kids who have beautiful, charitable hearts and love to give back whenever they have an opportunity to do so.� The mission of United Sound, a national nonprofit organization, is to provide musical performance experiences for students with special needs. CHS senior Lia Mossler is one of three co-presidents of the United Sound Club along with senior Tiffany Xie and junior Lilly St. Angelo. “It’s really rewarding. It’s definitely a different experience being able to take what I’ve been practicing all these years and give it to someone else,� Mossler said. “These are kids who never got the opportunity to learn an instrument. I feel like society says, ‘Oh, you can’t do this.’ We get these kids to learn music by an alternative way of reading music and rhythms because rhythms are a really abstract concept. To see how fast these kids improve is really insane. It just brings so much joy because music is like a universal language.� The United Sound members will join the orchestra members for “Silent Night� during the winter orchestra concert at 6 p.m. Dec. 10 at the CHS auditorium. “I know they’re going to do fantastic,� Xie said. Han had presented the idea of a starting a club to his orchestra members in the 2014-15 school year. Dana Lawrence, a special education teacher with the functional academic program, is a club co-sponsor along with Han. “A lot of my kids don’t have opportunities to stay after school and do things,� Lawrence said. “Before it was Best Buddies or nothing. This is another opportunity to be in a club. I think the parents are most excited about them being in the concerts.� Han said the initial response from the orchestra students was overwhelming and there were actually too many volunteers in the first year. Han said there was an application and interview process for those that wanted to be mentors this

school year. “All the kids talked about how important the club is to them as a way for them to give back,� Han said. “They grow as individuals just as much as the United Sound members.� There are three or four orchestra members for each United Sound member. Last school year it was about eight orchestra students for each United Sound member. There are nine United

Sound members this school year. Junior club member Blake Dauby is in his second year learning the violin. Playing classical music is his favorite part of the club, he said. “It’s definitely my favorite type of music,� Dauby said. “One time I was not ready for the violin, but now I really am.� Dauby said he tried to play the violin when he was younger but had trouble learning. The club mentors have definitely helped, he said. Xie said the orchestra members learn alongside those they are mentoring. “This year how it’s changed is both the mentors and the returning students have more of an idea how everything works,� Xie said. St. Angelo, who plans to continue as club president as a senior, said the half-hour session is her favorite part of the day on Mondays. “It’s makes me so happy to see my United Sound member, Abby Love, progress in her playing every week,� she said. “She really loves playing, and I can see that. It’s energizing to see them be passionate about the same thing we are. It speaks volumes about our (orchestra) program. We’re like a family, and we want to extend that family environment to everyone in the school.�

A SISTER’S WISH The program has special meaning to Lia Mossler, whose sister, Jessica, is a Creekside Middle School eighth grader with Down Syndrome. “She’s always singing and wanting to be in musicals,� Mossler said. “She would see me play violin and say, ‘Teach me how to play violin.’� But Mossler knew it would be hard for her to teach her sister at home. Mossler said in its first year the club was just for students with functional autism. “I wanted this club to be open for her next year,� Mossler said. “So I really pushed Mr. Han and Ms. Lawrence to open it up, because it’s really an amazing club. I think it should be open up to everyone, and she is so excited about it.�

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Ring in 2016 at Palladium

We know from independent marketplace research that arts, entertainment and dining are of upmost importance to our readers. For that reason, when the opportunity arose to help sponsor the New Year’s Extravaganza at the Palladium on the campus of the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, we jumped at the chance. And so it is that the Palladium will be the venue Dec. 31 for parties, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres throughout the site and live entertainment, including local favorites The Bishops, Flatbed Twitch, as well as karaoke by P3 Productions. After whetting your appetite with all that, you will enter the main performance area to be treated to a main-stage concert by The Hot Sardines, a high-energy band featuring unique and vintage dancehall stylings. The Sardines are “one of the best jazz bands in New York today,” states Forbes magazine, while The Guardian reports, “The charismatic front-runners of vintage jazz play big halls as if they’ve just dropped in to a party.” As the Palladium says, it’s going to be a guaranteed bash. Tickets include champagne, two drink vouchers, hors d’oeuvres, the concert and all the preliminary festivities! As of press time, ticket prices were starting at $100. Those may be purchased at thecenterpresents.org. If you have a group of 12 or more revelers, ticket purchases may be arranged by calling the box office at 819.3503. We hope you’ll be a part of the party that we’re only too pleased to support. In concert with the festivities, our partner, Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel, is offering a four-course dinner for two as a prelude and an overnight stay as a postlude for $230. You may make a reservation at aws.passkey.com. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The easy button

Commentary by Terry Anker

The office supply giant Staples is well into an advertising run extolling the ease with which we can order, restock and manage our need for paper, pens and printer ink refills. In the campaign, various users are imagined to be confronted with an office supply dilemma and they push a big red “easy” button wherein the problem is instantly resolved and the challenge is successfully confronted. The ads have proven so successful that the retailer is now offering mock-ups of the easy button at its stores. And, they are selling quite well. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such a device? Whenever we are confronted with the travails of ordinary adult life, we could simply push the button and all would be made simple. Sipping a cup of coffee while reviewing this column would have required extraordinary effort only a few generations ago. Getting the coffee was almost impossible. Then, heating it required the collection of wood and the tending of the fire.

Today, we push a button and Nespresso delivers a perfect, steaming cup from coffee delivered to our doors. We could call it the easy button. If life can be tamed from chaos to sublime by the mere press of finger, what other annoyances might we relegate to buttondom? Is the television remote control a device that we can use to remove us from irritating or offensive humans? Can we click “delete” on our computers to retire email that complicates or mires our lives? Is it possible that the “easy” button is already there but that we don’t make use of it? Sure, an office supplier cannot solve all of our problems with an imaginary button. But, it can show us that the solution to many of our worries is already available if we simply know to take action. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Failing and laughing at our own shortcomings are the hallmarks of a sane parent. – Jim Gaffigan

Low expectations, my friends. That’s what we all need to have heading into the Christmas festivities if we are HUMOR to survive the next few weeks. Don’t plan the perfect dinner, don’t anticipate a healthy household and don’t count on content children. You can hope for the best, sure, but only if you expect the worst will you guarantee yourself a satisfactory holiday season. Thanksgiving provided a good test site for my new underachieving mantra. Because the Wilson family six-pack would be staying with my parents, I knew I wouldn’t be sleeping much and that downtime would be at a premium. I also understood that the 2015 turkey feast would comprise of an unusual hodge-podge of relatives, including an 86-year-old ex-dancer on oxygen, my sister’s new boyfriend, and two sets of uncles and aunts whom I only see once a year. And, just to make things a little more interesting, none of my other three sisters would be there with their spouses to provide conversation buffering and/or assistance. Needless to say, my expectations of an ideal Thanksgiving were extremely low. So when my youngest’s cold turned into a marathon fever and cough fest, it was honestly no big deal. When my dad and sister cheated on our pledge to wait and see “Mockingjay” together, I rolled with it. And when Aunt Doris the Dancer regaled us with tales of teaching ballroom lessons after working all day at the American Tobacco Company, I was extraordinarily entertained. Overall, a pretty nice Thanksgiving. With Christmas and New Year’s approaching, I am now prepping myself for more illness, disappointed teenagers, dog intestinal issues and at least one person over-imbibing at some party. I’m also planning on rain, a power outage, a minimum of two tree disasters and an impressive argument with my husband Doo. Maybe I’ll get lucky this year and none of these potential holiday derailments will come to fruition. But if they do, they won’t be ruining my holidays. Why? Because I’m expecting the worst, and therefore can only be pleasantly surprised. I suggest you do the same. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Present company included Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Time again to save you the trouble of reading through this year’s holiday edition of the “Hammacher SchlemHUMOR mer” catalog. These are actual gift selections from their brochure. See the complete list at www.currentincarmel.com. The Best Talking Watch: This is the perfect gift for people who find it inconvenient or troublesome to have to actually look at their watch. You’re in your car, one arm around your lover, the other hand texting, another holding a cup of coffee, and still another might be on the steering wheel. Don’t jeopardize your safety by glancing at your watch. The Only Heated Outdoor Cat Shelter: According to HS, this shelter keeps your cat warm in the winter and cool in the summer. “There is no reason for your little feline friend to ever go in your house,” says the manufacturer. So I have a question: Why do you have a cat? The Darth Vader Pancake Maker: The stateof-the-art thermostat ensures that each pancake or waffle will be a golden brown and cooked in the shape of Darth Vader. But be

warned if you overcook your waffle, breakfast guests will say their food is a little Chewie and showing its dark side. The Single-handed Barber: The typical affluent HS shopper will love the idea of giving himself a haircut. On the Internet, buyers comment it’s a great product but requires practice. Who do you practice on? Don’t worry, if you have compliant children to humiliate, the kit includes two baseball caps. The GPS Homing Device: This is a device for people who travel, so they can find their way back to their hotel. I mean, really, only a total loser would need one of these. My wife is getting me one. Finally, the Table-top Fireplace: Provides all the sights and sounds of a real fire, but the whole thing is 100 percent fake – the perfect gift for your friend who is romancing that cute inflatable doll. Happy shopping!

The Hot Sardines bring unique jazz blend to New Year’s Eve By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The Hot Sardines feature their own spin on hot jazz and jazz standards. “We have a love affair with all COVER the pop music from the first half of the last century,� singer Elizabeth Bougerol said. “We play jazz that goes back as early as the 1910s and goes as late as the 1950s. It’s old music but we’re definitely playing it in 2015.� Bougerol, known as Miz Elizabeth, and Evan “Babs� Palazzo are the co-founders of the group. The Hot Sardines will be the featured performers at New Year’s Eve at the Palladium. “This music has a lot of spirit and there is something a little magical about New Year’s Eve,� Bougerol said. “It will be fun way to ring in 2016. We believe music should move you and we have a lot of love for the early days of jazz and American popular song. Those are the two points on the map. We’re playing music and we’re on a stage. The tap dancer is not just a percussionist. He’s a visual part of the show. You don’t hear this kind of jazz too often any more. This is sort of our Valentine to the songs of that era and the joy of playing them live for audience.“ Bougerol said their live performances are always evolving.  “You are never going to play the same song (the same way) twice,� she said. “There is a lot of fertile ground between 1900 and 1950 so we’ve definitely evolved in terms of adding more repertoire and bigger arrangements. We’re an eight-piece band with a three-piece horn section, so that gives us a lot to play

with. We’re constantly finding new material from the first half of the last century. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface.� Bougerol and Palazzo met at a jazz jam in 2007 that was advertised on Craigslist. Bougerol said they connected musically right away with many of the same loves. “There were a lot of the same people that we musically admired,� Bougerol said. “We never intended to start a band. Each of us was just trying to find one other person to

explore this love of music with.� Bourgerol and Palazzo were not professional musicians at the time. “He had taught himself piano, and I sang mostly in the shower,� Bougerol said. “I had done one or two high school musicals, but beyond that, I never sang outside my apartment.� The other members of the band were all trained musicians. “We learn so much from them every day,� she said.

CSO presents IU Health Holidays with Wright Bros. Commentary by Jay Harvey

We’re living in the season when it’s easier for everyone to embrace a little more of the world than usual. So MUSIC Carmel Symphony Orchestra music director David Bowden builds on the success of the annual holidays concert by programming pieces that will appeal to untypical concertgoers. The pair of concerts Dec. 12 at the Palladium, where the CSO is a resident Bowden ensemble, continues the tradition, resting confidently on a dozen years of sufficient popularity to merit two performances. There is something to attract those who attend for a particular reason, like the crowdpleasing “Bugler’s Holiday,� by Leroy Anderson, the 20th century’s foremost composer of light music for American orchestras. Another

Anderson piece, “Clarinet Candy,� will feature three CSO clarinetists. “And I look for something to make them go ‘Wow!’� Bowden said in an interview. In addition to the pieces Bowden chooses for orchestra only, the extra draw is always the guest artist. This time it’s the Wright Brothers, whose history with the CSO goes back about five years, when Tim Wright contacted Bowden just after the Palladium opened. Bowden liked what he heard on the group’s recordings, and engaged them for CarmelFest with one song, Harry Chapin’s “Mr. Tanner.� “We had a great arrangement, and the Wright Brothers nearly had to stop — they were crying, It was so beautiful,� Bowden recalled. “But they kept going, and afterward they said, ‘We love playing with you.’� Daniel Powers, a Terre Haute composer who has played viola with the CSO, wrote arrangements for the band and orchestra that will be heard for the first time. To wrap things up, there will be that Hoosier Christmas classic, “Jingle Bell Rock.�

ATI presents ‘Frog and Toad’ 1h <PaZ 0\Qa^VX “ mark@youarecurrent.com One of the main reasons why “A Year with Frog and Toadâ€? has become a staple of Actors Theatre of Indiana productions is it’s not only a crowd favorite but a ON STAGE favorite of ATI co-founder Don Farrell. “It’s one of my favorite musicals, pretty much of all time,â€? Farrell said. “It’s special to your heart. It’s written very well. It’s true to the story. It’s a delight. Kids enjoy it. Adults enjoy it.â€? Farrell, one of three co-founders of ATI along with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins, plays Toad. Fitzgerald will direct and Collins will direct the choreography. The Actors Theatre of Indiana will present “A Year with Frog and Toadâ€? from Dec. 11 to 27 at the Studio Theater in The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Farrell said ATI has performed the musical off and on since 2006. Bradley Reynolds, an Indianapolis native and Speedway High School graduate, plays Frog. “Bradley is a Broadway producer and he’s coming back and reprising his role,â€? Farrell said. “He’s a very good friend of mine.â€? Other returning cast members are Tim Hunt

Shopping for a tailgater

AT THE PALLADIUM

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley This is the season when we begin to struggle with our shopping lists and invitations, aggravated by December’s iffy weather. We need to remind ourselves there are people in our lives who are worth this trouble, and people to whom we are worth the same. Think about that tailgater on your list. We’re writing about the guy/gal on your list with a smile almost as broad as his or her heart. The one who is generous to a fault, making sure every guest and even occasional passersby gets something to eat and drink. There are two ways to shop for a real tailgater. First is the practical way, which is finding some piece of equipment you think he or she wants. The second way to shop is to buy something extravagant that can be enjoyed by any tailgater at any time. I always like the chocolate candy items that are a bit unusual but useful at any time of the year, especially Christmas. Sure one might see them at a tailgate party, but they are great at a Christmas or New Year’s party or any gathering when one wants to serve something special. The South Bend Chocolate Company has collegiate-licensed chocolate candy for both Notre Dame and IU fans. There are chocolate dome-shaped truffles called Domers. They also have Rocknes, which are chocolates with coconut, almonds and a cherry flavor. They also make chocolate-coated fancy mixed nuts called Nuts for ND, or for Indiana fans, Nuts for IU. Checkout their website at www.sbchocolate.com for viewing and possibly ordering online. Back home during the Christmas season we are featuring some special treat recipes

Colombian Coconut Rice

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Christmas is the most joyous celebration of the year in Latin America. After attending midnight mass everybody rushes home for “La cena de Navidad� - Christmas dinner. Impress your family and guests this holiday season with a dish that has all the amazing Latin flavors of Cartagena, Colombia. Colombian Coconut Rice is a savory-sweet recipe with a delicate and subtle aroma of coconut and couldn’t be easier to prepare! This rice goes well with meat, fish and/or vegetables. Note: Coconut oil isn’t just for cooking. It is packed full of health and beauty-enhancing ingredients. The magic behind this oil is MCFA (medium-chain fatty acids). MCFAs, unlike LCFA (long-chain fatty acids) found in vegetable oil, have anti-microbial properties which are easier to digest and boost your energy level. Serves: 6 Ingredients: “ 2 tablespoons coconut oil “ 1 teaspoon salt “ 1 tablespoon garlic “ 3 tablespoons brown sugar “ 2 cups organic coconut milk “ 2 cups water

Add coconut milk and water and increase heat to medium high until milk/ water starts boiling; add rice, raisins and stir to combine. Put lid on, bring rice to a simmer and cook until water evaporates, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

So let’s just COLUMN do both. Let’s sing and then imagine Lester Holt reading between the lines. Brilliant idea. â€œHave yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be lightâ€? Brawls broke out at Walmart retail stores and other shopping centers across the country on Thanksgiving evening, the official start of Black Friday. “From now on, our troubles will be out of sightâ€? In Kentucky, Texas and Louisiana, tempers flared among shoppers as law enforcement agencies struggled to keep control. “Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Yule-tide gayâ€? At a Louisville mall on Thanksgiving night, shoppers wrestled each other to the ground in a packed food court after one grabbed a popular toy out of the other’s cart, screaming, “I got it first!â€? “From now on, our troubles will be miles away.â€? A fracas over the last big screen TV in stock knocked a woman to the floor as shoppers at

Mall St. Matthews gawked at the sight of two unidentified men slapping, punching and tearing at each other’s shirts. “Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.� Several people were also angry at Starbucks earlier this month because the company removed decorations from their annual holiday-themed coffee cups. “Through the years we all will be together. If the fates allow.� Thousands of people around America joined together to celebrate Black Friday in a the most barbaric way – they physically fought for TVs, and one woman even yanked a vegetable steamer right from a child's hand. “And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.� And finally tonight, just in time for the holidays, K-mart has brought back the traditional BlueLight special that once made them famous.

Raphaela, a young girl from Haiti, traveled to the U.S. with the help of Deb and Scott Rigney, of Carmel, to have surgery to correct a club foot. (Submitted photo)

CarDon exec, wife help Haitian

Deb and Scott Rigney have a soft spot for supporting orphanages around the world. “Both of our children GIVING BACK are adopted. Our son is from Russia, and our daughter is from China,â€? Deb said. The Carmel couple helped start BarnRaisers of Indiana, a nonprofit devoted to improving the lives of children locally and globally. Scott, chief development officer at CarDon and Associates, is the president of the board of BarnRaisers. “With our two children being adopted from orphanages in foreign countries, any time we’re able to give back and help a child, we’re thrilled to be able to do that,â€? Scott said. That passion has led the Rigneys to bring an 11-year-old Haitian girl, Raphaela, to their home for an extended stay while helping her get surgery to repair a club foot. Deb went to Haiti for the first time after the earthquake in the summer of 2010. The second time she visited the orphanage in Fondwa, Haiti, she met Raphaela in 2012. “Her dad died in the earthquake, and her mom couldn’t afford to take care of her,â€? Deb said. “She wasn’t in school, and the mom was having a hard time supporting the family.â€? The orphanage took in Raphaela, considered an economic orphan, to help get an education and be fed on a regular basis. Deb met Raphaela when she was 8 years old in 2012. She is now 11.

“She touched my heart because she had just gotten there, and she had some posttraumatic stress,â€? Deb said. “Then there was the fact she had a club foot and Fondwa is in the mountains.â€? Deb said she asked the orphanage if it would be OK if she could help get her foot surgery. Then Raphaela said she would like to have it corrected. “It just took us three years to get her here,â€? Deb said. Dr. Patrick DeHeer, who has a Carmel office of Hoosier Foot and Ankle, did the surgery pro bono last month. Deb said Raphaela will likely be staying through February. Raphaela, who speaks very little English, started classes at Prairie Trace Elementary late last month. The Rigneys’ daughter, Piper, 7, is in second grade at Prairie Trace. Their son, Cooper, 12, is a Clay Middle School sixth grader. “Our kids have been able to be hands-on and very helpful, and I think it’s a great experience,â€? Scott said. “We’re considering letting Cooper go to Haiti with Deb when Raphaela returns. I think that would be marvelous experience for him.â€? Deb has been to Haiti four times and Scott has been once. BarnRaisers is starting a new fundraiser to create a new home for the orphanage. Deb plans to keep in touch with Raphaela by visiting Haiti often. To contribute to building a Haiti orphanage, visit barnraisersindiana.com/ lets-build-an-orphanage.

OneZone awards given Dec. 15

1h IPRW 3d]ZX] “ news@currentincarmel.com

For the first time since the merger of the Carmel and Fishers Chambers of Commerce, the new OneZone Carmel/ BUSINESS Fishers chamber will recognize companies and individuals for business excellence and impact at its annual awards luncheon on Dec. 15 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. The boards of directors and members of the Carmel and Fishers Chambers of Commerce voted last February to combine the two Merhoff chambers. The new organization was formed to more efficiently and better promote the business interests of its 1,200 members. Although the chambers traditionally handed out single awards in each category, the awards committee, chaired by Jud Scott, owner of Vine & Branch tree service in Carmel, decided to give two or more awards in some of the categories. There will be: “ Two Business of the Year awards, one

for a large company and one for a small company, and they will not be split between Fishers and Carmel. “ A MV2 Award for most valuable volunteer, who must be a full-time employee of a chamber member. “ A Young Professional of the Year Award “ A Green Award for sustainability “ Four architectural awards for new construction and renovation projects in Carmel and Fishers “ Two Lifetime Achievement Awards for Carmel and Fishers “Our committee’s selection process is always challenging, simply because there are so many successful businesses and especially right now, so many new projects in our communities,â€? said OneZone President Mo Merhoff.  â€œThe debate is always lively, and I’m sure this year will be no different.â€? Guests for the luncheon may check in and visit display tables at 11 a.m. The lunch and program will begin at 11:30 a.m. and continue through 1:30 p.m. Cost is $20 prepay for members by noon, Dec. 11, and $25 for walk-ins and guests. Advance registration is at http://goo.gl/WV6ELS.

DISPATCH Highest holiday budgets – With Black Friday sales totaling $10.4 billion in 2015 — the online portion of which accounted for a record $4.45 billion — and more than a third of consumers exceeding their budgets for holiday spending, the personal finance website WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis to determine 2015’s holiday budgets by city. Carmel was named as the city with the fifth highest holiday budgets, at an average $2,258 spent per family. Palo Alto, Calif. was ranked as the No. 1 city for highest holiday budgets, at an average $2,886 spent per household. Source: WalletHub

Blueprint for Improvement: Traditional master bath with a fresh look Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS:

After

The goal was to achieve increased visual space, light and functionality. 1. White cabinetry replaced the dated oak cabinetry, increasing storage and function. 2. The tub was shifted to allow for additional storage space. 3. The shower wall was replaced with clear glass to increase light and visual expansion into the shower. 4. The toilet room door was relocated to make wall space for the new towel warmer. 5. Additional recessed can lights and decorative light fixtures were incorporated into the design.

Before Background Info: This English Tudor home in the Queens Manor subdivision in Carmel was built in 1994. The master bathroom remodel kept with the style of the home, while giving it a fresh, updated look!

BEFORE PROBLEMS:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The master bathroom footprint was sufficient, but the functionality and aesthetics were lacking. The dated oak cabinetry, bulky tub and dark enclosed shower made the bathroom feel much smaller than it actually was.

Many first-time visitors to Brussels, Belgium, immediately seek out its most famous symTRAVEL bol, a statue named “Manneken Pis,” Dutch for “little boy pee.” This irreverent two-foot-tall statue may explain why Brussels is often called the “Capital of Europe.” No one knows when the first statue of a naked boy urinating into a basin was first erected two blocks southwest of Brussels’ Gothic town hall. References to a stone statue in that location appear as early as 1450. Numerous legends attempt to explain why such a statue would have been erected, some claiming a little boy relieving himself miraculously saved the city. What is known is that a local sculptor replicated the stone statue in bronze in 1619. In the ensuing nearly 400 years, Manneken Pis has been stolen repeatedly, most recently in the 1960s, after which the recovered statue was placed in a Brussels museum and a replica installed in its place. After Manneken Pis was stolen by a French soldier Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium. (Photo by Don Knebel) in 1745, King Louis XV made the little statue a knight and required passand NATO because of the light-heartedness ing French soldiers to salute. and self-deprecation reflected in Manneken Several times each week, workers dress Pis.
