INDOT shows off Major Moves 2020 features By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Officials from the Indiana Dept. of Transportation, along with project leadership from design and construction firms, welcomed roads members of the public to Hamilton Southeastern High School April 21 for a community open house to present the upcoming work on Interstate 69 as part of Indiana’s Major Moves 2020 program. Construction was scheduled to begin April 26 as workers with Milestone Contractors began patching and resurfacing existing pavement on I-69 between Ind. 37 (Exit 205) and Campus Parkway (Exit 210). Weather permitting, motorists can expect overnight single-lane closures in both directions between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Two lanes will remain open in each direction during peak daytime travel times. The speed limit on I-69 through the work zone will be reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present. The project’s community meeting presented new details on the construction, new noise barriers and a unique interchange design coming to Exit 210. “Our design-build team had some room for some innovation,” Project Team Leader with United Consulting Matt Taylor said. “We put on our engineer caps and came up with the best way to design and build this project, which is essentially adding a traffic lane to I-69, reconstructing the Exit 210 interchange, improving drainage along the corridor, installing sound walls along

the corridor and minor improvements at the Ind. 13 interchange are going to allow for additional vertical clearance on the new bridge and our team came up with the most cost effective way to do that.” The Exit 210 portion of the project will see its Campus Parkway bridge over I-69 widened while building Indiana’s third — and just approximately 60th nationwide — double-crossover diamond interchange. The interchange style is fairly new and designed to improve an interchange’s traffic. Work is scheduled to begin after July 4 and take one year to complete. “Our initial analysis is that the interchange is going to work better once that configuration is

put in place than it does today while it's under construction, which we think is a really exciting thing for that interchange,” Taylor said. Along I-69 near Exits 210 and 214, four new noise barriers will be installed near Cumberland Crossing and Cumberland Woods east of Cumberland Road, Brooks Chase east of Brooks School Road, Roselake east of Ind. 13, and Whispering Woods north of 126th Street. Bridges included in the project at Brooks School Road and County Road 650 West are contractually obligated to only receive work while school is out for the summer. It’s expected that construction will come next summer. For more on the project, visit in.gov/indot/3440.htm.

A variety of plants, vegetables, flowers and herbs will be available for purchase to benefit the school’s Future Farmers of America group. “We’ve got about 14 varieties of tomatoes, mostly heirlooms,” Master Gardener volunteer for three years Elizabeth Boase said. “It’s always a good year for tomatoes in that greenhouse. We sell a bunch of those. People love those things. “We’ve got all kinds of herbs. We’ve got a few flowers, peppers. We’ve got a bunch of succulents this year, which we’ve never had before,” she added. “Hopefully, we’ll do even better with those next year. We’ve got some horseradish, a lot of mint, a lot of aloe and kale, a few strawberry plants and other kinds of stuff.” Boase is one of seven volunteers who work with the high school’s horticulture classes in exchange for greenhouse space they can

City set to host farmers market By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com With OneZone handing control of the Fishers farmers market over to the parks and recreation department this year, events the city is excited to be officially hosting the series of events beginning May 7 and recurring each Saturday through September. Nearly 50 vendors will set up shop at 8 a.m. each Saturday and stay at late as noon. Historically, parks and recreation officials estimated the event has drawn crowds of 1,500 people per Saturday to the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. “But it’s still kind of a hidden market,” Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “It has a lot of opportunities to grow. I think the commitment to the marketing and brand and messaging has really been seen and that will really benefit the vendors.” But a new logo isn’t the only difference vendors and shoppers will see during this year’s farmers market season. “May 7 is going to be our kickoff of the market, and we’re doing a lot of new things this year,” Elliott said. “We’ll put live entertainment up on the stage during the farmers

Lawrence sculptor creates piece for Indy 500 art collection By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Gary Schmitt has been the resident artist with Partnerships for Lawrence cover story for three years and from his studio inside the Theater at the Fort he’s produced award-winning works of art — sculptures meticulously crafted from loose wool through felting the fibers into dense, detailed and sometimes large creations. Schmitt’s first foray into felting came about from wanting to make his fiancé small sculptures of animals for their mantel one holiday season. “I bought a couple kits, and I was going to replace some small animals my fiancé had when she was growing up, and they had been damaged or lost,” he said. “I was going to recreate some of those, I thought, but I found out those were made with paper mache and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that, but I happened to stumble on all these other animals being made, and they're dry, felted wool.” Over the years, he’s worked his way up from small woodland creatures to large forest landscapes, life-size hand tools and one new project celebrating this year’s Indianapolis 500. The Indianapolis Arts Council commissioned 33 area artists to create pieces for a collaboration titled “Welcome Race Fans: The Arts Celebrate the 100th Running.” So Schmitt spent approximately 260 hours designing and sculpting a wool-felt piece sure to grab the eye of passersby visiting the Indianapolis Arts Council lobby. “I thought, 'Well, I think I could do something with

felt,'” he said. “That 260 hours wasn't all felting. I have a sketchbook where I plan things out. I do graphic design, too, and illustrations… and there are about 20 pages of sketches pertaining to this.” At 2 feet tall by 4 feet wide, Schmitt’s piece pops in three dimensions featuring the race’s famous “Welcome Race Fans” catchphrase in large block letters above a silhouette of an Indy car. “I'm probably one of the few people in the world doing dry felting things of this size,” Schmitt said. Schmitt is hopeful the piece’s exposure leading up to the race can introduce more artistic individuals to the process of wool-felt sculpting, which he believes only began in the mid-1980s. “People kind of argue about who started it, but there is a good case to be made that there's a woman who took these industrial felting machine needles out of the machine and started making stuff with them,” Schmitt said. Schmitt, who first taught himself the craft of wool-felt sculpting via YouTube videos and craft store kits, now teaches beginners his methods at his regular workshops at the Theater at the Fort. Schmitt’s “Welcome Race Fans” piece was one of his largest and time-consuming efforts, but he hasn’t quite nailed down plans for the piece following its public display. “Well, it is for sale,” Schmitt said. “But if (it doesn’t sell), I’ll bring it back here and put it up in the studio at the very least.” For more, visit facebook.com/garyschmittsculpture. To see the rest of the work from the “Welcome Race Fans” collaboration, visit welcomeracefansindy.org.

Wool Felt Sculpting 101 Schmitt’s process for creating his works of art begins with nothing more than loose wool, a few special needles and what looks like an upside down giant hair brush on which he works. “The needles have Schmitt uses multiple needles with notches to small little notches in tangle wool fibers into his finished products. (Photo by Sam Elliott) them that help grab the fibers and basically felting is just tangling the fibers,” Schmitt said. “It depends on how much you tangle them how tight it gets and how dense the felt gets. “Wool will felt by using needles or some kind of combination of needles with little barbs or notches in them to help tangle the wool fibers, heat and pressure,” he added. “Wool fivers are kind of like a moving target… that's a good thing and a bad thing to be precise, if it's always moving around. If you need to adjust something, it's great because you can kind of move it a little bit. It's a living material. It responds in a way that's different than a lot of materials would.” But even with Schmitt’s level of expertise with the process, his hands will still find themselves the victims of routine stabbings. “If you don't bleed, you're not a needle felter. You stab yourself doing needle felting,” he said. “I know how to position my fingers and am getting better, but I probably still stabbed myself four times yesterday.” For larger projects or the bases on which he builds others, Schmitt will hold as many as eight needles in each hand or up to 30 using a specially designed needle holding tool — necessary when trying to build projects as large as his. “The more you tangle it, the more solid it gets,” Schmitt said. “The basic shapes are fairly easy to get… The more you refine it, the denser it gets, and that's a longer process.”

Plans for Mother’s Day

FR O M   T HE B A C K SH O P

‘Oh, say, you can’t sing … ’ The long arm of government has reached all the way down to middle school now. A recently posted video making the rounds on Facebook shows a security guard abruptly stopping Waynesville (N.C.) Middle School Chorus’ singing of the national anthem at the 9/11 memorial in New York City. Barney Fife’s partner already had given the students permission to sing, but Barney said the law was that a permit was required. To. Sing. The. National. Anthem. There. The school’s principal said the kids “immediately complied and apologized.” How do you like that? That’s a memory that they’ll have forever. Wow. ••• Today’s edition of Current has voting information for the May 3 primary election. If you’re registered to vote, please do so. The voter turnout in these parts has been anemic at best, and we don’t understand the unplugged nature of the majority of citizens. We’re providing snapshots of information about the candidates, as well as polling locations. By Tuesday, you would have had plenty of time to get up to speed. As we’ve written in this space, voting is a right and a responsibility. It’s important to exercise both. ••• We’ve been asked, as voting day draws closer, whether we would endorse any number of candidates. The short answer is no. We got out of that business quite some time ago as the number of Current editions began to rise. It is practically impossible for us to adequately interview each person running for office in order to form an educated conclusion on candidacies.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Prevarication nation Commentary by Terry Anker As the old joke goes – how do you know if a politician is lying? – his lips are moving. With election season in full steam, the good people of Indiana are steeped in competing perspectives often labeled lies by the rivalrous camps. One might imagine some of these so-called dishonest statements are, in fact, points of view rather than measurable and specific data. Regardless, each of the would-be candidates take the lectern to claim their own moral superiority supposedly deep-rooted in honesty, integrity and a willingness to speak the truth. But does the truth really matter? People have been prone to exaggeration and puffery for as long as we’ve had command of the language. We’ve all stretched a bit to bring comfort to others. Anyone with teenagers is probably guilty of observing the colossal Mount Vesuvius like blemish forming on the forehead of their progeny, and claiming – it really doesn’t look that bad – when we know full-well it may frighten

the villagers. But, our goal is to do good and help the young ones overcome. So when we bring this almost quaint culture of white lies into the Internet age, what happens? Now elected officials tell us - well, of course I lied because you wouldn’t have voted for me otherwise. And, reality television stars proclaim – well, of course I lied because if you knew that I was in love with someone else you wouldn’t have continued with our really cool wedding. Magazines and Internet sites post lists of lies to tell to get upgraded hotel rooms, take advantage of the family leave act and effectively avoid getting caught in an affair. To tell the truth, there is a disturbing trend of prevarication in our nation. Is the honest human an artifact and the greasy liar the contemporary archetype?

Women of greater Indianapolis unite, for our day approach-eth! That’s right, people, Mother’s Day 2016 is upon us, humor and I, for one, am not taking any chances. There will be no failed expectations, no misunderstood requests and definitely no crying. Not this year. Not again. As such, I am calling a preemptive do-over. Hear ye, hear ye! Danielle’s most precious eight to 10 hours of blissful solitude will now occur on May 22, as May 8 does not fit into her schedule! Seriously. Mother’s Day immediately following the first Saturday in May? The mini, first communions, proms, college graduations … and hello-o, the Kentucky Derby. What are these calendar guys thinking? And yes, I mean guys. No female would ever dedicate the day after a single major event, let alone the perfect storm of celebratory obligations, for honoring moms. We’d have chosen a random Sunday during the summer when school is out and the temperature’s consistently a pleasant 79. Oh wait. That’s Father’s Day. I rest my case. But I digress. As I have learned from countless number of MDs gone wrong, horribly wrong, moms can’t just hope that everything will turn out fine. We have to plan carefully, articulate our hopes clearly, and if necessary, take matters into our own hands. To wit, our annual Derby party falls on May 7, which means May 8 will be spent picking up, lounging around and perhaps doubledowning on the Advil. (Mint julips are not to be messed with!) Absent from the agenda is coming downstairs to a clean house, enjoying brunch with the peeps (who’ll probably also be experiencing a rough morning) and either shopping at Simply Chic or gorging on buttered popcorn at Regal. Therefore, Mother’s Day must be moved. I just told Doo about the plan, and he didn’t even blink. This ain’t my first rodeo, baby. I’ve also called re-do’s post MD, when sick kids, clueless husbands, or newly-minted driver accidents ruined my day. I’m not taking any chances this year, and I encourage all ladies to follow suit. Good luck, fair matrons, and Godspeed! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

My wife is a fast-walking girl Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife walks faster than I do. What makes this so humiliating is that I have always been a good athlete, but Mary Ellen humor hated sports. When my wife tries to run, she doesn’t bend her legs at the knees and she ends up looking like a soldier doing a goose-step on too much coffee. No, she can’t run. But boy, can she walk. And I can’t figure out why she walks faster. Let’s see … her legs are longer than mine. And wait, she moves them back and forth faster than I do. Okay, I just figured it out. But this doesn’t make me feel any better. The great irony is that I was attracted to my wife 35 years ago because of her long, slender legs. This is exactly how men get themselves in trouble. When I saw those lovely limbs, my mind turned to romance, but I should have realized that she’d be walking faster than me for the next 40 years. I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.

In fact, in high school and college, I prided myself on my speed. And I never had anything to do with girls who were fast. I probably should rewrite that sentence. Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, when we are walking I hide behind a tree to see if my wife will look back to see where I am. Out on a hiking trail, this is okay, but in a residential neighborhood, men behind trees are frowned upon. When you are telling your story to a police officer and he keeps using the word “lurking,” you have a great deal of explaining to do. Now, when my wife and I walk, we go in different directions around our neighborhood circle. No matter how slow I walk, we always pass each other at exactly the same time. I know that sounds stupid. But don’t try to explain it to me. You know how slow I am.

LOSE WEIGHT AND GET YOUR LIFE BACK. TAKE THE 40 DAY CHALLENGE.

Lose 20-40 lbs in 40 days. GUARANTEED!

Taxes: filing vs. planning Commentary by Joe Clark The countdown for filing 2015 tax returns is finished and the taxes are off to money Washington. There are two tax systems at play in the U.S. — and some politicians proclaim there is one system for the rich and another for the poor — but the reality is there is one tax code for the informed and one for the uninformed. Your tax return is similar to a symphony where instruments work in unison. Your tax return works the same way where one line works with the next. Just one bad financial decision can create an input that creates negative consequences on the rest of your return. Albert Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Every year individuals pick up their taxes from their CPA firms and gasp at the amount owed. Then they complain, scribble their names on a check, file the return in a drawer and repeat the process the next year — insanity! Tax planning is a central part of financial planning and needs to be conducted before December 31. April is the season to tax report. The number of individuals who spend count-

less hours on investment statements but disregard their 1040 tax return is staggering. In my humble opinion, there is no entity that will separate most American families from their retirement more dramatically than the IRS. Markets go up and down, but rarely does the IRS send a check back. As we conduct financial planning in 2016, our objective is to be as tax savvy as possible. Pay attention to line 43 on your tax return and find out how much income was actually subject to taxation. Once you know that number, you can make some very important decisions including whether or not you should consider a Roth IRA or contribute to a college fund. The IRS provides us a rule book, but it is our job to use those rules to create the best possible scenario during the year so that our accountants can provide savvy tax reporting next April.

Cutting cable service – The number of people that have dumped their cable television subscriptions is steadily rising. By the end of 2015, 20 percent of U.S. households were cable free. That figure is projected to rise to 22 percent by the end of this year. The proliferation of online streaming services has contributed to the decline as consumers have found ways to get the same content for less money. Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are just a few of the streaming services that can provide extensive content. Source: Fortune.com

Cook up a Mother’s Day to remember Submitted content courtesy of Family Features Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember recipes by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life. Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years. Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare.

A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter. Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria beach in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program. For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com.

Give the mom in your life the latest beauty treatments By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Michaela Baird, esthetician at Sundance Salon and Spa in Zionsville, claims the dual exfoliation facial is a great treatment for a spring look. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

With blue skies and spring breezes chasing away the winter blahs, many are realizing they want to look and feel better, therefore searching out spas. spas A few local spas offer services specific for a fresh spring look. Dual Exfoliation Facial Sundance Salon Spa, 47 S. Elm St., Zionsville, offers a dual exfoliation facial with Aveda products to cast a clean, fresh look without the damaging chemicals. The two-part, clinical facial cleanses and then uses a plant peel on the face for facial results without uncomfortable, irritated skin sometimes caused by facial chemicals. “This is a great choice for spring because of cold weather, everybody has a buildup of dry skin and dead cells,” said Michaela Baird, esthetician at the salon. “With the dual exfoliation facial, you’ll get a better tan on spring break and your face will be cleaned out better. You’ll get back that moisture you’ve been missing all winter.” The dual exfoliation facial lasts an hour and costs $105. Shellac nails Sundance Salon Spa also offers an upgrade from a normal manicure or pedicure by using shellac nail polish. This gel-like polish will provide two weeks’ worth of no chipping. “This is also a great option for spring break, because if you’re going in the ocean normal polish will not stay on and you will have to continuously apply,” Baird said. Shellac prices: Manicure - $45, pedicure - $70.

Treat mom to an appointment at a local salon like Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, where beauticians suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for women this season.

Haircuts and styles popular for spring Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for those women searching for a spring look. “The lighter ombré is pretty big right now, especially with lighter colors like blondes and light browns for spring,” Stylist Jessica Jones said. “It’s a new trend.

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer and partner with Ever Film Productions, LLC. She may be reached at amy@youarecurrent.com.

Where’s Amy? sees ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Broadway-bound Lucy Neal, Campbell Kirsh, Anjali Rooney, Nya Beck and Amelia Wray took time to pause for Where’s Amy? on opening night. (Photos by Amy Pauszek for Current Publishing LLC. Copyright 2016. All Rights Reserved.)

Patti and Bruce Kimball catch up with Andrew and Susan Buroker at the “Fiddler on the Roof” opening night pre-party at Civic Theatre.

Marni Lemons and Tobin Strader shined and received a much-deserved standing ovation for their roles of Golde and Tevya in Civic Theatre’s sold-out production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Tania C. Moskalenko and Jini Rooney took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” at the opening night pre-party festivities for Civic Theatre’s “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Guy Grubbs and Darrin Gowan were ready to perform a few weddings with a few turns and twists.

Mitchell Wray gave his twin sister Amelia Wray a big brotherly hug and some sweet treats after the opening night of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Civic Theatre.

Where’s Amy? I was in pure heaven attending Civic Theatre’s opening-night production of “Fiddler on the Roof” with my parents and friends. Hats off to Director Michael J. Lasley whose creative vision and casting helped bring the musical to life. What a treat it was to see the talented Tobin Strader, Marni Lemons and the entire cast of “Fiddler” shine on stage. I loved this musical as a child, and it still ranks as a favorite today. Nothing beats sitting back and observing a sold-out crowd laughing, crying and humming along to their favorite songs. Throughout the show, we were entertained by the sounds from a simple fiddle and/or 17-piece orchestra under the direction of Civic’s own Brent E. Marty. Crowd favorites included “Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Do You Love Me” and “The Dream” which was brilliantly choreographed by Anne Beck. I guarantee that you will enjoy the show and leave with a huge smile on your face. Grab your family and friends and go see this production, which runs through May 7. I am also stoked about Civic Theatre’s recent announcement for their 2016-2017 season, which includes “Young Frankenstein,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Rumors,” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” and “The Music Man.” Whew! Yep, it’s safe to say that Civic Theatre is continuing the tradition by bringing only the best theatre and musicals to its home in Carmel. Fire up, and Where’s Amy? will see you there - L’chaim!

A Berlin memorial remembering the Jewish victims of the Holocaust was intended to provide a visual reminder about travel what can happen when a society gives itself over to hate. The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe lies just south of the new American embassy and just east of Ebertstraße, a street once containing a long section of the wall separating East and West Berlin. The memorial itself consists of 2711 rectangular concrete slabs of uniform length and width, with heights ranging from a few inches to more than 15 feet. The slabs, called “stelae,” are positioned on a grid, with their varying heights arranged to create an irregularly undulating appearance that exaggerates the rises and falls of the uneven ground. The memorial was designed by Peter Eisenman, an American architect who won a 1997 design competition. Eisenman said his disquieting design suggests what happens when an apparently rational society loses its bearings. As if to prove the point, critics discovered that the German chemical company engaged to coat the stelae against graffiti was associ-

ated with the firm that produced cyanide tablets for concentration camp death chambers, temporarily halting construction. The memorial was finally dedicated on May 10, 2005. Since the Memorial’s opening, the stelae have been repeatedly marred with swastikas and other anti-Semitic markings. Unfortunately, “Never Again” far too often seems less a promise than a hope.
