Carmel International Arts Festival is back after one-year hiatus By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel International Arts Festival Executive Director Rachel Ferry describes the energy surrounding ENTERTAINMENT the 2021 event as extraordinarily high following a one-year hiatus. The 2020 festival was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “The (artists) that are coming are so excited to Ferry be back in Carmel and have an in-person festival,” Ferry said. “What the pandemic did across the country for people was obviously devastating. A lot of these artists rely on festivals for their main source of income, so without any festivals last year artists took a hard hit. Some of them didn’t recover and weren’t able to continue on with their business and had to find different ventures to support their families, so we’re excited to offer this opportunity to come back.” Approximately 100 artists will have exhibits at the Sept. 25-26 Carmel International Arts Festival in the Carmel Arts & Design District. The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 25 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 26. Ferry said the number of artists — 130 — is slightly lower than the usual number. “We had close to that commit, but because of the COVID strains in parts of the country, some artists have not felt comfortable to travel,” Ferry said. “So, they are not participating, but we do hope they will be back in 2022.” CIAF will be Carmel jewelry artist Mark Grosser’s 15th art fair of 2021. “We normally do about 25 a year,” said Grosser, who owns M. Grosser Jewelry Design. “We’ll probably finish out with 20 this year.” It’s quite a change from 2020, when Grosser attended only five festivals.

“All the shows we’ve been to have been pretty well attended,” he said. “Carmel has always been one of our better shows. We like doing a local show, and sometimes it brings people to the store. It’s the only show we do in the state of Indiana.” With help from website programmers, Grosser set up a selling platform for art fair artists in late 2020. He said customers still prefer to touch and feel jewelry and listen to artists describe how the piece was developed. Wood artist Mark Waninger, who lives in Jamestown, considers CIAF his local show and has participated in the previous seven festivals. Waninger said he has participated in art festivals all across the United States and that Carmel is one of his favorites. “It is so exciting for me as an artist to see this show’s continued growth and the overall elevation in the quality of the art available for patrons to choose from,” he said. “It really is an international art festival. This is only happening as a result of the purchases made by attendees. The impact of COVID was significant for all professions, and it was especially devastating to artists who rely on the personal connections made at festivals like this for the sale of their work.” Fishers painter Anna Afshar has been a CIAF participant six times.
“Having art festivals again in general, and CIAF especially, is very important,” Afshar said. “I survived the pandemic year without events through customers/commissions/ connections I acquired through previous festivals. CIAF is my home base with lots of following, so in addition to selling my existing work and possibly getting commissions/ sales in the future, I am simply looking forward to seeing familiar faces and friends. “Based on the turnout at Penrod (Sept. 11 in Broad Ripple), people are eager to get out and support the arts, and it’s so wonderful.” Noblesville painter Randall Scott Harden, whose art is featured at Carmel Art on Main, agreed art lovers are eager to view the work. “Hopefully, they’ll be out to buy,” Harden said.
SAFETY MEASURES SET With the event being outdoors, Carmel International Arts Festival Executive Director Rachel Ferry isn’t too concerned about attendees being at risk of spreading COVID-19. Ferry said face masks will be available for anyone who wants one. Hand sanitizer will be placed throughout the festival along with hand-washing stations near restrooms. Ferry said there will be social distance space between tents. “Because of the amazing things Carmel has done with the bump-outs on Main Street, it allows us to spread it out a little more,” Ferry said. “I feel like it’s going to be a great layout to have a safe festival.” The Art Rocks III concert from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Sept. 25 will feature Blair Clark and The Fun Factor on the main stage, which will be south of the Arts & Design District on Range Line Road. Entertainment is scheduled throughout the day at the main stage and west stage.

The Fishers community commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11 throughout Sept. 11, including a Community EVENT Safety Day in the afternoon. The commemoration included moments of silence at the Fishers Farmers Market during the times of day when the World Trade Center and Pentagon were struck by terrorist hijackers and when Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania when passengers overpowered the terrorist hijackers. Fishers conducted its annual Community Safety Day later in the afternoon at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. Hosted by Fishers Fire and Emergency Services, the event focused on connecting with Fishers residents through engaging performances and demonstrations as well as conversations about preventative safety. “Today is a day to remember, and in a way, celebrate,” said Robert Bennett, a Boy Scout Troop 303 volunteer whose troop hosted a kids bike ride obstacle course. “On the way over here, we passed the bridge with the firetrucks holding a flag over the interstate and I asked my son, ‘Do you know why they’re doing that?’ It’s important to have those conversations.” Fishers resident Gina Vorhees agreed. “We came out because (my son) loves firefighters and as a way to pay tribute to our firefighters and first responders,” Vorhees said. “He’s young, so we’re trying to find a way to incorporate him into this day through the positive side of it.” Fishers Fire Dept. Public Information

Officer John Mehling emphasized the importance of all the community partners coming together to share knowledge of each organization’s expertise. “Any way that you can come up with a way of hurting yourself, we like to come up with a way to make it better, or better yet, finding a way to prevent that in the first place,” Mehling said. Mehling said the fire department has a strong relationship with local schools, and by being able to connect some of that in-classroom safety education with in-person demonstrations, Mehling said kids will be more knowledgeable about safety topics. Following Community Safety Day, Fishers hosted a Run to Remember 5K at 6 p.m., followed by a prayer service and vigil at 7 p.m. to remember those who lost their lives or suffered physical or emotional injuries during the terrorist attacks.

University High School’s top golfer Williams is natural athlete By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Becky Williams has always been a girl for all seasons. “Becky has played multiple sports growing up and invariably does well at all of them,” said her father, Bruce Williams. “She is naturally athletic.” Williams is the No. 1 golfer for the University High School girls team and also plays basketball and throws the shot put and discus on the girls track and field team. The Zionsville resident began playing golf at age 8. “She was already a very strong golfer when she joined our team and has improved tremendously over the past four years,” Trailblazers coach Taylor Newell said. “Becky is one of the kindest, most generous students I have ever known, but is also fiercely competitive. She works extremely hard year-round on her golf game and strives to play her very best golf every time she is on the course, whether she is playing in a tournament or just practicing.” Newell said Williams is just as committed

and is always willing to give tips to her fellow golfers without ever being overbearing. “She epitomizes leadership by example, and as a coach, I truly could not ask for a better senior captain.” Williams said this has been her best golf season so far. “I’ve focused a lot on my short game and putting this past year, but I think I’ve just become a better all-around player,” she said. “A lot of it has been mindset. Earlier in my high school career, I was an all-or-nothing-type player. I’ve learned to play more conservatively, which I think has benefited my play.” Williams made it to the state finals as a freshman and is seeking a return in October. She recently had a season-best 5-under par 30 for nine holes in a match at Wood Wind Golf Club in Westfield. In addition, Williams is a top student with a 4.24 cumulative GPA. She also has played the bass in orchestra since middle school and all four years in high school. She previously played travel soccer for United Soccer Alliance Indy (previously Indy Burn) and the Zionsville Youth Soccer Association.

COVER STORY
Current in Fishers
www.currentinfishers.com
Students try their hands at various styles to find their fit at Bach to Rock Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Four children between ages 5 and 7 are splitting up after a group learning session and heading to individually placed keyboards around the wall in a group learning room inside Bach to Rock’s Fishers location at 12514 E. 116th St. The children, part of the music school’s Kids N Keys program, are learning the basics of piano so that they can progress to eventually master the chords used by musicians such as Johann Sebastian Bach, The Beatles, or popular South Korean group BTS. At Bach to Rock, students learn an eclectic mix rather than focusing on a particular style. Co-owner Kellie Miles-Fink describes it as “just teaching music.” Bach to Rock is a music school that is growing as quickly as the number of genres it teaches. There are more than 50 Bach to Rock locations across the United States, including two new central Indiana locations in 2021. The Fishers location opened in April and a Zionsville location opened in late July. There also is a school in Carmel. Miles-Fink, 30, co-owns the Fishers location with the husband-and-wife team of Andy and Jennifer Flickner. The Flickners also own the Zionsville and Carmel locations. Miles-Fink, 30, began working for the Flickners at the Carmel location in 2018. Miles-Fink, who also is the director of the Fishers location, has a background in singing. She started in choral ensembles and continued through college. She sang at Indiana University and at Marian University while pursuing a master’s degree. Her first job out of school was as a fifth-grade music teacher in Indianapolis. In 2018, the Flickners were looking for early childhood piano instructors. Along with playing the piano as a little girl, Miles-Fink saw the opportunity to combine her passion for music with her love for education. “I really knew that I wanted to work with kids, and I love education, and that’s part of what appeals to me about Bach to Rock,” Miles-Fink said. “It has this great curriculum, and everyone is learning, which is fabulous.” Miles-Fink rose from her role as instruc-

tor to working the front desk to becoming the Carmel location’s first assistant director, a position she held for two years. In early 2021, she and the Flickners decided to expand and opened the Fishers location as 50/50 business partners. “It’s amazing what young people can learn and how quickly they can accomplish things,” Miles-Fink said. “(Seeing that growth) is one of the things that made me feel that (teaching children music) is one of the best jobs in the world.” Although most of the school’s programs are targeted to children, there is no age limit for lessons at Bach to Rock. It has programs for toddlers and lessons for adults. “We get a lot of adults who have never played before, or adults who have had a bucket list of learning an instrument, or we get people who played an instrument as a kid and have always dreamt of coming back,” Miles-Fink said. “And that’s really
special to see the rekindling of the love of music.” To help Miles-Fink, who teaches some of the lessons, the school brings in experienced musicians. Some are studying music in college and others have advanced degrees in music. And some, like Corey Dossett-Ware, are former teachers. Then there is Buong Hoo Lau, who teaches at Bach to Rock and once ran a music school in Malaysia. “My wife and I are so thankful to be able to teach here at Bach to Rock. We are very comfortable with the system here,” Lau said. “They don’t just learn some method (practicing) books but also chords and play at their own pace. It’s really helpful.” For more, visit b2rmusic.com. ON THE COVER: Corey Dossett-Ware teaches J.J. Hill during a Kids N Keys session. (Photo by Jonathan Matthes)
Buong Hoo Lau, an instructor at Bach To Rock who specializes in the violin, took a long and winding journey to end up at the Fishers music school. A year ago, Lau returned to Indiana after spending more than 20 years in his native Malaysia, running an American-style music school in his hometown of Miri. “We tried to bring our education system here (in America) home,” Lau said. Lau said that the education system in Miri was structured like a British system, which Lau found too rigid and focused on exams. He preferred the American system that focuses on recitals and boosting a student’s creativity and freedom. “The students would be so stressed and weren’t having fun,” Lau said. “So, we decided, ‘Let’s make recitals the ultimate goal so they can perform on the stage.’” Lau estimates approximately 300 students attended his school each year. After a couple of decades back in Malaysia, Lau returned to Indiana to be closer to his children, who are studying in college. His son is at Purdue University and his daughter at Emory University.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Are heroes welcome?
Going the distance
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Trust is low and anxiety is high. Anxiety is low and trust is high. Either side of this apple looks to be rotten. So, how do we find our way back to a more trusting and less anxious world? Perhaps we could add a dose of Xanax to the next round of national vaccination requirements. Or we could all line up and play middle school camp-out “trust” games to get to know each other and rely on our fellow humans. Sigh, neither is especially likely to occur. We look to public safety professionals as heroes. Our collective memories are branded with images of police and firemen running toward the collapsing towers as thousands of others hurried away. And then, we recall the hospitals filling with the masses, their ash-covered bodies punctuated with crimson spots of blood from raining debris. Medical workers embraced them, fearless of the risk, leading with training and instinct. But have our thoughts become halcyon? Can they be our protectors, experts, dispassionate scientists, caregivers and heroes? Some respond with an emphatic no. Others, just as passionately, defend the veneration. As face mask debates continue and immunity rates lag, some health care networks and universities have required vaccination with suspensions, expulsions and firings of the recalcitrant. Even so, scores of these scientists, caregivers and heroes have paid the price rather than take the risk. Are they misinformed? Are they zealots? Are they idiots? If so, what kind of care did we get before they were flushed out? Who hired them? Who educated them? Or is it possible that science is not settled? That not all heroes are imperfect? Can we be satisfied with good intentions and tolerate the dissenters, or are perfect heroes the only way?
Well, I did it. I survived an Olympic-length triathlon. It wasn’t pretty, I didn’t feel great and there was an awkward moment when race officials thought I was a man, but on balance, I’m proud of my effort. Here are the highlights. I went into to this challenge hoping to finish with a respectable time and in a respectable manner, meaning under three hours and free of vomit. I ended up one minute over my goal, but considering I had to run off course to a porta-let after the bike portion, I’m counting my time as a win. And though toward the end I began to overheat and wobble a bit, I kept my stomach contents intact. Praise be. What I didn’t realize until I was in my car heading home was that my supposedly waterproof black eye makeup (which I am never without in public except for Meijer, where I don’t give a poop) had completely smeared across most of the right side of my face, probably while on the swim leg, the first of the three parts. I’d basically been channeling Kiss for the entire morning, including the awards ceremony. I definitely did not make it look good. Speaking of awards, out of two people in my age group, I placed second! For men. “Daniel Wilson? Is Daniel still here?” Um, they fixed the mistake eventually, but not before the female winners were announced. So, several clearly confused ladies were called back up to exchange their plaques for lower-placed ones since I, or rather Gene Simmons, had actually beaten a few racers. Can y’all say un-comfortable? Not ideal, but I survived. Peace out.

Lindsay Zehren is bringing Resounding Joy to central Indiana. Resounding Joy MUSIC THERAPY is a music therapy nonprofit that was started in San Diego in 2004 by Barbara Reuer, a Ph.D. and board-certified music therapist. Zehren and her husband and two daughters moved to Carmel from San Diego in November 2020 and officially launched Resounding Joy in Indiana in late July. Zehren had been working for Resounding Joy for six years before moving. “We are very excited to be expanding into the Midwest by bringing our programming to Marion and Hamilton counties,” Zehren said. “We don’t have a permanent home yet, but we are doing some things in the community and we’re offering individual sessions now, too, in people’s homes.” Zehren said she feels that the opportunity to make music together has been missing lately in society. “One of my big goals in life is to help people feel comfortable making music together

again, whether they are a musician or not, and to figure out how to use the music they love to their benefit, so we all feel a little bit better,” she said. Zehren, who plays guitar, ukulele, piano and drums, still works with the Resounding Joy team in San Diego. “We have three main programs that support people through individual, group and community-based music therapy sessions conducted by board-certified music therapists,” she said.

Indiana Wind Symphony to debut unique arrangement of ‘Beethoven’s Fifth’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Call it a passion project or a labor of love. Dan McGlaun calls it his “COVID gift to the world.” CONCERT Indiana Wind Symphony bass clarinetist McGlaun created a transcription of Ludwig van Beethoven’s C minor symphony, better known as “Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.” The debut of the piece by a symphonic concert wind ensemble will be in the second half of the Indiana Wind Symphony’s performance of “The Sound of Memory: Sousa and Beethoven’s Fifth” set for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Center for the Performing Arts. McGlaun, a Clayton resident, began working on it in October 2019 to prepare for Beethoven’s 250th birthday in 2020. COVID-19 changed many of those celebrations because of shutdowns and cancellations in mid-March 2020. “This piece needed to be done,” McGlaun said. “No one has ever done the monumentally wonderful work in its entirety in its original keys. I sat down to do it and it took me a long time. I would say I easily spent a thousand hours. I did overall six months. It took me overall a full year and we’re still making tweaks and adjustments to it, and it is sounding really good.” McGlaun, a 1980 Noblesville High School graduate, said he has been arranging his whole life. “This group has allowed me to do some big-time arranging for a large, very complicated and talented group,” McGlaun said. McGlaun said some people have put “Beethoven’s Fifth” in different keys to make it easier for wind players to perform. “I arranged it and transcribed it for a different combination of instruments,” he said. “We will have a string bass or two, but other than that no strings. I’m trying to recreate the sounds of the orchestra using only wind instruments. That’s the challenge. It sounds easy, but you have to

know the range of the instruments and what they sound like together.” McGlaun will play contrabass clarinet on the piece. “I’m so happy we are giving it life,” he said. “I just hope the audience loves doing it as much as we love doing it and we love preparing for it.” IWS Music Director Charles Conrad, a Carmel resident, said he didn’t know if the piece would ever come to fruition when first discussed. “It’s been an immense challenge and we’re really looking forward to it,” Conrad said. “We’re thrilled to be able to do this because it was a monumental project.” The first half of the concert will include John Philip Sousa’s “Nobles of the Mystic Shine” and “Pathfinder of Panama.” The 2021 Calvert Outstanding Music Educator Award, a lifetime achievement
award for Indiana music educators, will be presented at the concert to Max R. Jones, who is a band director at Purdue University. “He had a long and distinguished career in high school. The final high school he was at was (Elkhart) Concord,” Conrad said. Jones will guest conduct a unique arrangement of “Seventy-Six Trombones” from “The Music Man.” “It’s a very unusual arrangement and one we have purchased our own copy of because we like it so much, we want to play it in the future,” Conrad said. Kimberly Archer’s piece “Fanfare Politeia” will open the concert. It had its premiere at President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January. For more, visit indianawindsymphony. org.

Ezra’s Enlightened Café
Commentary by Anna Skinner Editor’s note: The next several At the Table with Anna columns will spotlight gluten-free items. Address: 6516 Ferguson St., Indianapolis What to get: Rosemary sweet potato bowl Price: $10.50 Anna’s take: I admit that usually I am a meat eater, but I truly didn’t notice the lack of meat in the dish I ordered at Ezra’s Enlightened Café in Broad Ripple. All items are vegan and gluten-free, which makes it a safe bet for anyone who tries to avoid dairy or eggs. The rosemary sweet potato bowl was refreshing and filling, with a healthy serving of quinoa for protein and tons

of fresh greens. Pepitas provided a nice crunch. It was topped with cooked sweet potato, creamy avocado, fermented veggies and a rich cashew cheese that felt like a salad dressing but was delicious all the same. Ezra’s also has plenty of smoothie options for those craving something cold.
Behind bars: Habanero paloma Get it at Monterey Coastal Cuisine, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. Tanteo Habanero Tequila, .5 oz. fresh lime juice, 6 oz. grapefruit soda, grapefruit slice, sea salt Directions: Combine tequila and lime juice in a 16 oz. glass and stir. Top with grapefruit soda and garnish with a grapefruit slice and a pinch of sea salt.

After
THE BLUEPRINT • The layout was revamped for better functionality; the sink and oven/ stovetop trade places and an L-shaped island replaces the dated angled version. • The corner windows were replaced with a single side window which provided more storage and workspace along the stovetop wall. • Dark gray granite countertops contrast against the geometric white tile backsplash. • White cabinetry is used along the perimeter; the island cabinets are stained a warm gray.

Remembering the Trail of Death Commentary by Don Knebel The first monument honoring Native Americans erected by any government is on Peach Road about 5 miles TRAVEL southwest of Plymouth. By 1837, most Potawatomi, Native Americans living in the Upper Midwest, had consented to removal from Indiana under a series of so-called “Whiskey Treaties.” Chief Menominee, an influential Potawatomi religious leader, claimed that the treaties were fraudulent and gathered about 100 like-minded families near Twin Lakes. Under pressure from area residents, Gov. David Wallace enlisted Gen. John Tipton, a survivor of the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe (more next week), to drive Menominee and his supporters from Indiana. On Aug. 30, 1838, Tipton and 100 armed volunteers entered Menominee’s village and began rounding up inhabitants. On Sept. 4, Menominee and 848 followers left at gunpoint as the militia torched their homes. The Potawatomi, their numbers already shrunken by death, spent the afternoon of Sept. 12 at the Tippecanoe Battlefield, which Tipton had purchased and donated to Indiana two years earlier. Before the Potawatomi reached Kansas on Nov. 4, 42 had died, 28 of them children, and the 660-mile route became known as the “Trail of Death.” In 1899, Daniel McDonald, owner of Plymouth’s newspaper, published a book recounting the forced removal of Menominee and his followers. After McDonald was elected to the Indiana General Assembly, he convinced his colleagues to appropriate $2,500 to erect a monument near Menomi-

nee’s village remembering him and the Trail of Death. The 17-foot-tall granite monument, featuring a standing Menominee, was dedicated on Sept. 4, 1909. McDonald related the historical context and (according to the program) the Plymouth band played, “The Dirge of a Vanished Race,” “softly and slowly,” while the granddaughter of Simon Pokagon, the Potawatomi author for whom Pokagon State Park was named, unveiled the monument. Subsequent rumors of pennies in Menominee’s right hand may explain its missing thumb.
