Jonathan Byrd’s moves to Grand Park By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com After more than 25 years of calling Greenwood, Ind., its home, Jonathan Byrd’s Restaurant has moved to the Grand Park now open Events Center in Westfield and opened last month. The Greenwood location closed on Mother’s Day, but it still offers catering services. Previously, the Jonathan Byrd’s Fieldhouse offered concessions beginning earlier this year, but Emily Hammell, marketing manager for Jonathan Byrd’s, said the restaurant in the events center has more of a cafeteria feel. “The fieldhouse is more grab-and-go, and the restaurant is a full-fledged spin on cafeteria foods with more upscale selections there and a wider variety of menu selections. That’s where you might take your family,” Hammell said. “We have a salad bar, made-to-order sandwiches and burgers and things. There’s definitely something for everyone.” Hammell said the restaurant, 19000 Grand Park Blvd., is prime for grabbing food between games or even finding a spot near the fields to

eat a carry-out meal. “It was really tricky getting people out (to the restaurant). People just don’t know about it,” she said. “We really want people in the community who have heard about Grand Park and want to know about what’s going on out there to visit Jonathan Byrd’s Restaurant. It’s a family-owned business, so we just love to see the community out there.”
In addition to alerting the community of a new restaurant and concession spot, Hammell said Jonathan Byrd’s is planning on finishing up The Nest, an upscale sports bar. She said it should be completed in September. The Nest is for guests ages 21 and over. Jonathan Byrd’s has collectively created more than 100 jobs for Westfield. For more, visit jonathanbyrds.com.
State debates on ISTEP; WWS prepares for change By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Current Publishing, LLC All Rights Reserved. 30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Westfield are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.
When March and April of 2017 roll around, students in grades 3 through 8 and grade 10 will prepare to take the ISTEP testing school which evaluates math, language arts and science in grades 4, 6 and 10 and social studies in grades 5 and 7. However, this may be the last year of standardized testing as they know it. Currently, the ISTEP Review Panel is debating on whether to continue with ISTEP testing or to implement a different standardized test, which would take place during the 2017-18 school year. The panel was selected by Gov. Mike Pence and should come up with a decision by Dec. 1. With No Child Left Behind transforming into the Every Student Succeeds Act, there are new components to the ESSA that the state needs to follow. This has bled into the discussion on whether to change the formula of ISTEP – fixing technological issues to make the test online and
allowing for no more multiple choice questions – or deciding on a different standardized test completely. The four components of the ESSA are standards, assessment, accountability and school improvement. The state must follow these federal guidelines. “There will be some test,” said Lynn Schemel, director of assessment and professional development at Westfield Washington Schools . “Some people think with ISTEP (posSchemel sibly) going away, we won’t have a test anymore, but we still have to meet those guidelines. We want to know how our students are doing on the standards, how well our students are doing, how well as a staff we are doing to meet the expectations of Indiana. (Standardized testing) helps us network with other districts to see how well they’re doing, and if they are doing better in a certain area, we
can look at reasons why. It helps us identify the needs of the kids.” The 2016-17 school year will be a transition year, according to WWS Supt. Dr. Sherry Grate, before all ESSA guidelines will be implemented in the 2017-18 year. ISTEP will still be the test for the coming year, but Grate regarding the ISTEP Review Panel’s decision come Dec. 1, the 2017-18 school year standardized test could be an improved ISTEP, or what the panel decides to morph standardized testing into. “The whole idea is just being able to continuously improve and grow, and if we don’t have a form of benchmark or measure along the way, we are shooting at a moving target or a target we don’t know is there,” Grate said. “So, this provides us with some additional information to help us with our instruction for our students.”

coffee with a cop in westfield
By Sara Barker • news@currentinwestfield.com The Westfield City Market will focus on four-legged friends Aug. 13. Pet Day, coined by organizer Teresa Skelton, will be taking place amid the usual stands of fresh produce, food trucks and live music. event Happy Mutt Pet Bakery, owned and operated by Barbara Grider and her daughter Melissa Grider, will be an integral part of Pet Day. The bakery sells made-from-scratch dog and cat treats and accessories and has a booth at the Westfield City Market this summer. At noon, there will be a pet parade between performances by Skelton Chris Oaks on the live music stage. The parade will give owners a chance to show off their prized pooches, and all participants will receive a free treat courtesy of Happy Mutts. Greyhound Rescue of Indianapolis will have an information booth during Pet Day. The organization is committed to finding loving homes for retired racing greyhounds. The idea for Pet Day was conceived out of a love for animals. “I just thought it would be really cool to have people come and show off their animals. They’re their babies,” Skelton said. “I also am a big advocate for all these rescue groups, and anytime I can do something for them, I try to do that.” Pet Day is part of an effort to expand the Westfield City Market through unique events. Kids Day also took place this summer, and Skelton said she hopes to organize a Wellness Day in the future. “I would like to work toward next year making Pet Day bigger, kids day bigger, and also, I’d like to incorporate a wellness (day). We do have some wellness booths (already),” Skelton said. “I’d like to have a wellness theme, where it’s all about fitness, and we already have the produce of eating healthy.”

Open Doors breaks ground By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On July 30, Open Doors – a nonprofit that provides food and clothing services to Washington Township – broke giving back ground at the location of its new facility adjacent to Monon Trail Elementary School, 19400 Tomlinson Rd. Kurt Wanniger, president of Open Doors, began the ceremony with a speech highlighting the journey of the food pantry and thanking various members and groups that helped along the way. Among the groups and members that helped are various churches, the City of Westfield, Westfield Washington Township, Joe and
Alice Trentman and others. “Open Doors was formed 26 years ago when we got all of these pastors together for those (churches) who didn’t have food pantries in their service,” Wanniger said. “We have a lot of support every day. That’s the best thing about Open Doors is the community. Open Doors’ mission is to support the community with its physical and spiritual needs.” Open Doors began a capital campaign last year to raise more than $300,000 to construct the new facility. Those in attendance received a stake to write scripture or encouraging messages. The stakes will be buried under the foundation. For more, visit opendoorswestfield.org.

Andrea Icenogle’s favorite part of ESL teaching:
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com With school starting back up, Andrea Icenogle is excited to return. The English as a Second Language Westfield Intermediate School teacher works with students comcover story ing to the U.S. from different countries. But, in addition to aiding the students in language skills and adapting to the U.S. and the intermediate school, Icenogle helps students in other ways. “I like getting involved with the whole family. When they first move here or first come to the intermediate, I visit their home and meet their family,” she said. “I take a translator with me a lot of times. I get to know the whole family and see them in their environment where they’re comfortable, and then that helps me assess what needs they have beyond the classroom. That’s when I tell them about the Trinity Free Clinic and food rescue (options). That’s my favorite, is helping them assimilate
Meet Andrea Icenogle: Family: Husband, Gary. Adopted children, Dmitry, 13, and Katya, 11. Teaches: Sixth grade English as a Second Language. Used to teach social studies. Pets: Two dogs, Popcorn and Callie. What teaching ESL means: “I teach English to students that are new to the country. They come to my class to learn conversational English, content area vocabulary, reading in English and writing in English. We work on subject-verb agreement and which pronoun to use, how to form plurals … There are various levels.”
to all the resources. Westfield is a great place to come because there is so much help available.” Most of Icenogle’s students are Spanish speaking, with 98 percent from Spanish-speaking countries. However, over the years, Icenogle has taught students from Turkey, Vietnam, Japan, China, Russia and others. Students are ranked in levels one through three, and some know limited to no English while others read at a third-grade level. In addition to visiting the families, Icenogle works with Northview Church to complete service projects around the community. “This year, they let me pick three families to help,” she said. “From visiting the homes, I knew who needed the most help. We put in new floors, cabinets and got the kids new beds.” Icenogle doesn’t just teach children from foreign countries; she has two of her own, from Azerbaijan and Russia. Dmitry, 13, and Katya, 11, were both adopted by Icenogle and her husband, Gary, at 10 months old. Often, the two attend home visits with Icenogle. “They’ll go with me a lot of times to meet the families,” she said. “When we do trailer makeovers, they go with me and help. Hamilton County is pretty wealthy, and I want my kids
Andrea Icenogle, an English as a Second Language teacher at Westfield Intermediate School, said there are many rewarding aspects to the job. “It’s just so rewarding to see. I love when (students) can tell a joke in English; that’s one of my favorite things. To watch (their testing levels) rise, some will go up 40 points from fall to spring, where typical growth is 11,” she said. Another one of her favorite things is watching students read a chapter book for the first time. “It’s just like a new world open to them, and they’re so proud of themselves. I love seeing that spark in their eyes,” she said. “I loved learning about the rest of the world, but meeting people from the rest of the world is so rewarding.” to see there is a world beyond that, and that world is in their backyard. There are people in need right here. So, I want them to develop a passion for helping others, for seeing the need. I think a lot of times we miss it.” Icenogle has been an ESL teacher for 12 years. She received her elementary education degree from Ball State University in 1992 and her master’s degree in instructional systems technology from IUPUI in 1996. Prior to teaching at WIS, Icenogle taught social studies at Perry Township Schools for three years. She was then a social studies teacher at WIS for nine years before moving to ESL.

Year-round school proposition
FRO M T HE backshop Nation’s veterans entitled to better One of us had a father-in-law that served our nation during World War II. He was a waist gunner on a B-17. While he sailed on to his next adventure last year, hackles are raised every time we hear about the Veterans Administration and its slapdash treatment of those, like “The General,” that served. Only one such instance of shoddy care involved The General, as far as we know, but it was enough to anger even the most patient person amongst all we know, his youngest daughter. She took him to the VA hospital in Indianapolis for a prescription refill, a simple enough task that took eight hours to get accomplished. Ire over that experience still is raised in her husband at just the thought of the two of them sitting there like numbers for most of a day. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke recently to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention. Like him or otherwise, he hit it out of the park with this: “Our debt to you is eternal.” So must be waiting for a prescription refill. Trump says he is committed to reforming the VA and making everyone in it accountable. He says he will appoint a secretary of veteran affairs and issue sweeping authority to undo the mess that it is. He said, and we’d like to believe him, that if he has to get involved he won’t hesitate to do so. We do agree with this comment: “Our most basic commitment – to provide health and medical care to those who fought for us – has been violated completely.” It needs to be fixed. Quickly.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
1984 by Orwell Commentary by Terry Anker The 67th anniversary of the publishing of George Orwell’s iconic book, “1984” was recently celebrated and reminded me of my first reading more than 35 years ago. Drawn to it because it corresponded with my high school graduation year, the one that I had been writing in steam on the school bus windows since an older child had told me that there was such a thing. If the tome was identified with this special number, then it must be of great consequence! Besides, on the prescribed middle school reading list, it was the shortest. As I read the book, I found its dystopian perspective depressing. The language was confusing. And, a super-state leading perpetual war seemed entirely unrealistic. Well, perspectives can change as we age and come to have a better understanding of the intentions underlying an author’s work. Orwell once said, “Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one
that comes after it.” Like in so many things, he is probably right. It is the nature of humankind to be conceited, obsessed with our own dazzling brilliance and dominion over both the past and future. And, it also is the nature of humankind to be wrong. Certainly, learning can be accumulated over the generations. However, there is no evidence to support the notion that individual intelligence is greater now than it was at any point in history. Our perspective may have shifted, but our ability to process what we see is likely not much different. Wisdom may actually flow as described. When we looked at our seniors, we were too young and ignorant to understand their wisdom. Likewise, our juniors are ill positioned to see ours. But, if we know of our folly, can we prevent it?

Q U O T E OF T HE WEEK “The more we study, the more we discover our ignorance.”
– Percey Bysshe Shelley
I am so excited I might wet myself. School is back! Yes, that glorious month of August has arrived, and I humor can finally lay my sad-excuse for a summer routine to rest. See, one of my biggest challenges each June and July is keeping some semblance of normalcy at our house. I don’t know about your heirs, but mine need structure. They need to have consistent bedtimes and wake times; they need scheduled meals; they need daily physical activity and social interaction. Otherwise, they become bored and bratty, even if they do manage to sneak in seven hours of Xbox. But it’s all much easier said than done, especially once school’s out. To wit, I didn’t even develop a survival plan this summer. Strict eating and bed times, limited technology interaction, Amish Day? Those used to work when my kids were younger, but now that 75 percent of them are taller than me? Fuhgetaboudit. Kitchen schedules, required reading and keeping track of Mario Kart is just too challenging. Plus, it’s my break, too. I don’t want to play warden the whole time. So, I often choose to ignore the pancake-batter mess at two in the afternoon or the fact that our oldest hasn’t left his room in 34 hours. Admittedly, I do occasionally feel like a terrible mom and wonder if my failure to set boundaries and enforce expectations will cause one of my precious little angels to end up in a clock-tower taking pop-shots at frolicking puppies. (And years later, when CNN lands the exclusive interview and asks why she did it, she’ll say, “Because my mom allowed too much freedom during summer.”) The only solution I can come up with is year-round school. Then I’d only have to worry about July, which would be fairly simple if I throw in a family vacation, maybe a camp or two and a trip to Mamaw’s. Summer would become much more manageable and far less Xanax-worthy. Who’s with me? No one? Fine. I’ll simply say this: Welcome back, school! My family (and small dogs everywhere) thank you for your return. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

READER ’ S V I EW
Changing times Editor, I frequently get asked the question by those seeking a career in law enforcement, “If you had to do it all over again, would you be a police officer?” Parents of high school and college students who are thinking about becoming a police officer often ask me to speak with their children to give guidance or advice. I have been a police officer for more than 28 years. The current climate in the nation is, to say the least, disappointing. Every time you turn on the television or look at social media, the police are the topic, and most are negative stories. The good news is, in Westfield, we are supported by the community. Here in Westfield, the community understands that police officers are human, that we are very capable of making mistakes, feeling pain and having bad days. They understand that we are mothers and fathers, daughters and sons and spouses and that we have lives outside of police work. The Westfield Police Dept. embraces a true, community-based policing philosophy, understanding that partnering with the com-
munity is the only way to combat crime and solve issues. Our department has focused on outreach programs for the past several years and placed emphasis on stepping away from our patrol cars to conduct foot and bike patrols. I believe a department that is rich in outreach programs and strong in customer service can not only win over a community, but it can draw strong public support. I also believe that the perception of the community can be strengthened by holding ourselves accountable. The 45 officers of the Westfield Police Dept. understand it is their job to create a safe environment for the people of Westfield to work, live and play. We appreciate the relationships that we have established and greatly appreciate the continued support that we receive each day. So, when asked the question would I do it all over again? I would respond, “Absolutely, as long as it’s in a city like Westfield.” For the full version of this letter, visit currentinwestfield. com. Joel Rush, Westfield Police Chief

Cards Collected at Celebration Unlock Deals from Local Merchants
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Celebration of Bands is a perfect venue to spread the word about the new ArtsCards. “All the musicians will get the ArtsCards themselves,” said Eric Baker, who is marketing the cards. “They can activate that card, get a number and they’re part of that network. They also can get all the benefits of the app on their phone as if they had activated an actual card.” The ArtsCards offer artists a variety of discounts at local businesses and events. The app will allow artists, including painters and graphic designers, for example, to network. The funding aspect finds local businesses who support the arts. The cards are free for the artists, who can promote their events. The cards cost $48 for businesses, which will receive a placard for their window and enable them to offer discounts through the ArtsCard system.
always needing to raise funds to keep the doors open,” Baker said. “On the flip side, there really is a desire among businesses to say that they do support the arts in the city (Indianapolis area). People want to think of their community as a community that really champions the arts and gets behind creativity and artistic expression. But there is not always a great way to bring those two sides together.” Baker said the card gives arts organizations a chance to raise not only funds but awareness. “It’s a way for businesses to drive foot traffic among the arts community and supporters of the arts as well,” Baker said. The ArtsCards cost $18 for fans of the arts, and more and more businesses are signing on to bring in more customers while helping the arts. “In the fall, we are going to market this as fundraising opportunity for nonprofits,” said Baker, citing the possibilities for high school bands. Baker said the website is set up to expand to other cities in the future. For more, visit artscards.com. The following sponsors are offering deals in coordination with the ArtsCard during and around the Celebration of Bands:
Baker said his friend Jeff Goens, a saxophonist with the Indiana Wind Symphony, is the brains behind it. Baker, a Carmel resident, plays with four different bands. “There is a pattern of arts organizations

The second Carmel Celebration of Bands will have a different look than the first. Organizers learned what a good spot the Main Street area in downtown Carmel was for attracting spectators to the free event. So this year, there will be two nights of free, live music in the Main Street area across from Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream. The performances will begin at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 19 on Main Street. On Aug. 20, performances will begin at 11 a.m. inside the Palladium and will continue to approximately 5 p.m. The Celebration of Bands will then conclude with a session beginning at 6 p.m. on Main Street. Last year, some of the second day of performances was moved inside the Palladium due to the threat of rain. It was originally scheduled as a day-long outdoor concert in the space beside Palladium. But this year, weather will not be a problem, and musicians and music-lovers alike will get to take advantage of the Palladium’s excellent acoustics.

Founder Conrad ready for 2nd Celebration President Lincoln’s Own Band performed at President Obama’s inauguration.
Movie Paved Way for Lincoln’s Own By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com What started as a one-time gig, albeit a prestigious one, has turned into a fullfledged band. Don Johnson was asked to choose the musicians for Stephen Spielberg’s 2012 movie “Lincoln.” When it was through, Johnson bought the uniforms from the movie and formed President Lincoln’s Own Band. That band will play at The Carmel Celebration of Bands in Aug. 20 at 3 p.m. in the Palladium and again at 8 p.m. just off Main Street. Johnson, 60, had played in some different Civil War bands for several years when he was contacted. The scene in the film was recorded in Petersburg, Va., in December 2011. “We were there three days. If it rained again on our last day, we were going to be cut from the movie,” said Johnson, who also directs the Kentucky Baroque Trumpets band. “It was a beautiful day, but cold.” The PLOB has been asked to play more events since, but has had to be selective. “We’re kind of spread out in different states. Some are in Maryland, New
York, Virginia, so we don’t get together to rehearse much,” said Johnson, who lives in Raywick, Ky. “We’ll take a gig when it’s pretty high profile or they are going to take care of us pretty good.” Johnson, who serves as PLOB’s artistic director and plays the E-flat cornet, said the band played a small role in the National Geographic Channel docudrama “Killing Lincoln.” The band also played in Gettysburg, Pa., for Dedication Day when Spielberg was the speaker in 2012. “The Associated Press took a picture of us and it went viral,” Johnson said. “Someone put us up on Facebook. The Smithsonian saw that and wanted us for President Obama’s inauguration (in 2013). We played for two days at his festivities.” They returned to Gettysburg for Dedication Day on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address in 2013. “They streamed our concert around the world,” Johnson said. It was there that Sean Conant, who is doing a documentary called “The Gettysburg Address,” which is scheduled to be released this year, approached them. PLOB performed on the soundtrack, and the album has been released by Warner Brothers. Johnson said the albums will be available for sale at their Carmel shows.

mark@youarecurrent.com As a major force behind the Carmel Celebration of Bands, Indiana Wind Symphony founder and music director Charles Conrad learned one major thing from its debut in September 2015. “I learned what a good location the downtown spot was,” Conrad said. This year’s Celebration will have two nights in the Main Street area across from Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream. “We were pleasantly surprised by the Friday night concert crowd, so we decided to do Saturday night there, too,” Conrad said. “A lot of people got their lawn chairs (for the concert).” At a high point, Conrad estimated a crowd of 1,000 watched the Friday night performance. The IWS itself will perform twice (see schedule on back), giving a preview of its 2016-17 season. Jessamyn Anderson, a 2011 Carmel High School graduate, will sing “I Could Have Danced All Night” at both performances with the IWS. The soprano has been working with Ohio Light Opera for the second consecutive summer. CHS senior Jake Letts will also perform “Music of the Night” from “Phantom of the Opera.” Conrad was struck by Letts’ performance as Jud Fry in the Tarkington Civic Theatre’s showing of “Oklahoma.” “I was so impressed with seeing him on stage and hearing him sing,” Conrad said.

Active listings down 19 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Across central Indiana, low inventory remains a large factor in the real estate market. Compared to last year at real estate this time, active listings have declined almost 19 percent. Fortunately, this has not deterred buyers too much, as pended home sales rose 4.8 percent and average home prices have grown 2 percent year-to-date. In June, Hamilton County’s active listings were down 10.5 percent, while pended sales have grown 2.2 percent year-to-date and 2.9 percent month-to-date. The average sales price also rose 2.1 percent compared to last year, now at $281,521. • In Westfield, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 4 percent to $305,582. • Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Westfield in June 2016. Overall, homes sold in 51 days – six more days than this time last year.
• Buyers in Westfield had more options available to them. Last month, 271 homes were available for sale – 22 more homes compared to June 2015. • Pended home sales increased in Westfield. In June 2016, 97 homes sold – 26 more homes compared to June 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 27 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 21 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 39 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced below $99,999. June has been an incredibly busy time for buyers eager to move and sellers taking advantage of rising prices. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Brooks, HCHD talk Zika
Dispatches
By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks is continuing her reputation of learning about threats to public health and disease working to pass legislation to prepare the state and nation, and the recent outbreak of Zika virus in the western hemisphere has been no different. On July 28, Brooks met with the Hamilton County Health Dept. to discuss the county’s preparation. Jason LeMaster, director of environmental health at the health department, presented to Brooks and other Brooks staff at the meeting. “I wanted to hear what was happening in Hamilton County … just to hear how local departments are talking about it, combating against it,” Brooks said. “Because there is no vaccine, we are trying to get some additional attention by the private sector companies who might create a vaccine … but vaccines take 10 to 15 years to develop. So, this is not something that’s going to happen fast.” LeMaster discussed the county’s efforts, which include budget appropriations, equip-

LeMaster also said surveillance has played a large part in being prepared for the virus. The county monitors more than 700 sites for Aedes Albopictus, one of two types of Zika mosquitos found in Indiana. In addition, parks departments (Hamilton County, Carmel, Fishers and Westfield) have been working with the health department to gather larvae for sampling kits. In the future, LeMaster said efforts will continue to be made so the health department can conduct assessment of county-wide trail systems to monitor and eliminate breeding sites, develop a pesticide-effectiveness program, increase integrated pest-management initiatives, conduct ordinances reviews to reduce the development of breeding sites for businesses and add geographic-informationsystems layers electronically for “no spray areas” – which would help ensure other important insects like bees wouldn’t be killed.

Commentary by Amy Pauszek Where’s Amy loved attending the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s 2016 Summer Gala, titled ‘A Night at the Barre,’ which took place July 29 on stage at the beautiful Palmusic ladium in Carmel. The gala featured international guest artist and former American Ballet Theatre soloist and New York City Ballet dancer Anna Liceica along with Daniel Mantei, Rachel Richardson and Sean Stewart of the American Ballet Theatre. Gemma Bond of American Ballet Theatre choreographed the program, which included IBC students from around the United States, Canada and Austria. The first act included classical numbers, such as scenes from “Sleeping Beauty,” and the second act followed with contemporary pieces and dynamite new works with original student choreography. Both acts were truly out of this world. This was the second IBC gala I have attended, and I was in heaven watching the special artists perform with IBC students. Trust me, these young IBC students know how to put the “P” in professional. For more, visit IndianaBalletConservatory.org. Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you at the ballet!

Lou Gramm aims to be a crowd-pleaser. Gramm, whose billing is The Original Voice of Foreigner, will play a heavy mix of Forevent eigner and some of his solo hits at District Brewfest, which runs from noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 20 outside of The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel. Indianapolis musician Sam Law will open for Gramm. “That’s the life and breath of our Gramm shows,” Gramm said. “We obviously know people want to hear the Foreigner hits and the hits from our solo albums and honestly that can fill up a night.” Gramm co-wrote most of Foreigner’s biggest hits with Mick Jones. Gramm left Foreigner for his solo career in 1990 but returned in 1992. He left again in 2003. This year marks the band’s 40th anniversary. Foreigner is still touring, but Jones often doesn’t perform because of health-related issues. Both Jones and Gramm talked about the possibility of reuniting this year to celebrate the anniversary. “There were talks about it, but they never reached fruition,” Gramm said. “I guess we’re going to let it pass quietly. It’s certainly a good milestone in someone’s career to have 40 years from our first album, which was a pretty good hit for us. It is definitely something to celebrate, but I think people’s schedules are a little too crazy.” Two of Gramm’s favorites are “Jukebox Hero” and “Urgent.” “I like playing all of them, but in an hour-and-a-half set, those two songs particularly stick out to me,” Gramm said. Gramm, 66, moved back to his hometown of Rochester, N.Y. 12 years ago. “The whole band is really from Rochester,” Gramm said. “They’re great guys and good people to hang out with — no bad habits. We go out and have a lot of fun.” Gramm and his band mostly play weekend dates. “It’s civilized and you can have a normal life through the week,” Gramm said. The general admission ticket, including beer samples, is $55. Wine, designated driver and VIP tickets also are on sale. Twenty percent of the proceeds from District Brewfest will benefit Chaucie’s Place, a Hamilton County child advocacy organization. For more, visit districtbrewfest.com.

pistachio cake Commentary by Beth Aasen Co-owner of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel This is a special recipe I’ve somewhat come up with myself after years of tweaking other recipes. I’m entering it in the Indiana State Fair this year. Previously, I won first place for overall double layer cake at the fair for my lemon cake. The pistachio cake has become one of our most popular desserts at the restaurant, and people ask me to make them entire cakes sometimes. Every once in a while I can, but I’ve had to tell some people I couldn’t because it’s hard to keep up with the baking for everyone and running a business as well. Ingredients: • 1 1/2 sticks butter • 2 /12 cups cake flour • 1 table spoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup sugar • 2 table spoon almond extract • 3 cups buttermilk • 4 whole eggs • 1 egg yolk • 2 1/2 packets (3.4 oz.) of instant pistachio pudding mix • 4 ounces 7-Up Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put 2 1/2 packs of pudding mix in medium bowl. Add 7-Up until covered. Set aside.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt and set side. Grease and flour three spring pans, preferably 9-inch round pans. Use a mixer and beat together the butter, sugar and pudding mixture. Add eggs to the mixer and lightly mix on a slower speed. With mixer on low, slowly add 1/2 of the flour mix (flour, baking powder and salt) and then 1/2 of your buttermilk. Then go back and forth, mixing in the flour mix and the buttermilk until it’s all mixed. When it’s ready, pour it equally into each of three pans. Bake 12 minutes. Icing ingredients: • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar • 3 sticks butter, softened • 4 ounces of 7-Up • 2 1/2 packs (3.5 oz.) of instant pistachio pudding mix • 1 tablespoon almond extract Directions: Pour pudding mix into a shallow bowl. Pour 7-Up on top until covered. Stir and stir. Set aside for at least a half hour. Mix in butter to the bowl and then slowly add the powdered sugar and extract. Preferably use a standup mixer on a low speed. Cake assembling directions: Once the three cakes have cooled, slowly remove them from the pans, and then you’re going to use your icing between the layers to create a triple layer cake. Be sure to smooth out the outside and let the cake sit for a few hours in a refrigerator before cutting the cake. You can chop up some pistachio nuts and put it on the icing if you’d like.

BTI films to debut Aug. 27 By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com The Ballet Theatre of Indiana hosted its first benefit last year. For the benefit this year, there will be one new addition: dance films. The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Evan Lurie Gallery in Carmel, 30 W. Main St. Stirling and Sabrina Matheson, co-artistic directors of BTI, were searching for ways to spread the word about their relatively young company, and they hoped to do so through online videos. They discussed combining dance and cinematography, which was the starting point for the film event. When the second season ended early, there was extra rehearsal time to be allotted for these video projects. “(The films) will not look like the stage version,” Stirling said. “Everything was made specifically for the videos we shot.” The benefit will feature four videos. There will be a short introduction to the company that was shot in various locations around the city. A music video for local singer Katie Pederson’s new album and a comical rendition of a staged audition also will be shown. Stirling said they are planning to shoot a film version

of a ballet based on Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” “It’s fun to get a chance to see these new art projects and the sort of new branch of what we do as a company before anyone else in an exciting atmosphere,” Stirling said. In addition to the films, patrons can enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres while participating in a silent auction. Tickets for the event can be purchased online for $30. All profits from the tickets and silent auction will assist with BTI’s third season expenses. BTI also is fundraising online through an Indiegogo campaign. For more, visit btindiana.org.

GreekFest returns Aug. 26-28 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Marika Kalyvas Bagios, the purpose of GreekFest is clear. “The mission of the Indiaculture napolis Greek Festival is to create a celebratory, family friendly event that shares our Orthodox faith and Hellenic culture — authentic Greek foods and pastries, traditional dancing and live music with the entire Central Indiana community,” said Bagios, in her first year as co-chair/ president for the event. “This is the major fundraising event for our community, as well as a celebration of our Greek culture.” GreekFest is set for Aug. 26-28 at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 3500 W. 106th St., Carmel. “We estimate our crowds at 15,000 to 20,000 people per weekend,” Bagios said of the average attendance. “Since we do not charge admission, there is no way to have an accurate count. Attendance is dependent upon the weather and other activities happening in the city that weekend.” This is the 43rd GreekFest and eighth at the Carmel church. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church moved to Carmel from 40th Street and Pennsylvania Street in December 2008.
Members of the Senior Hellenic Dance Troupe Nathaniel Martine, FoFo Stergiopoulos and Victoria Martine perform at a past GreekFest. (Submitted photo)
GreekFest’s hours will be 4 to 10 p.m. Aug. 26, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 27 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 28. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. GreekFest will feature imported Gaia wines, made from indigenous Greek grapes. The local craft beer list includes Quaff ON! Brewing Company, Oaken Barrel and Bier Brewery. The food court will feature many Greek favorites. Among the performances will be students of different age groups from Hellenic Dance Program each day. The Omni Orchestra performs Aug. 26-27 and DJ Pete will perform Aug. 28. There will be puppet shows at 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Aug. 27. For more, visit IndyGreekFest.org.

Kitchen island designs Commentary by David Decker Your kitchen island might be something you haven’t given much thought to. However, if you are considering indoor living a kitchen remodel, the island comes with many considerations. You should always begin with the complete kitchen in mind when designing your island. Consider the benefits and drawbacks your kitchen already offers and see how the island can complement those. It helps to identify the purpose of your island first. Will it be used mostly for food prep or eating? If food prep is your priority, then consider installing a sink in the island and allow plenty of room for cutting boards and bowls. You also might consider what appliances will need to be located in the island. If you will be prepping meals, a sink in your island with a dishwasher is a good idea. Additionally, a beverage fridge or trash compactor can sometimes be located in the island, too. Storage is always important in kitchen design. Depending on how much storage you have in other parts of the kitchen, you might include storage drawers or shelving in your island. There is a long list of storage options
that can easily be incorporated into an island, such as utensil bins, cutting board, tray storage or recycling bins. Though storage is important, knowing the size of your space is essential. You do not want an island that is too big and creates a cramped space, nor do you want one that is too small and looks awkward in your large kitchen. A three-foot wide island is usually standard, though some kitchens can only accommodate two feet. As far as length, some islands are as short as four feet, yet others, especially if they are accommodating appliances and storage, may reach up to 10 feet. Islands are usually the focal point of any kitchen. Whether it’s meal preparation, entertaining or dinner prep, the kitchen island serves many purposes. It’s always wise to work with a professional designer to help you consider all the factors that create a cohesive, beautiful and functional island.

Create a summer, winter escape Commentary by Randy Sorrell The leafy magnolia gracefully weaves its way through the overhead pergola structure adding a sense of outdoor living historical relevance to this industrial modern-outdoor living space. The contrast is especially striking as peaks of the galvanized steel bench facade and dark mocha painted pergola columns compete with the bright lime green curtains. Room addition The initial charge from the well-traveled homeowners was a sunroom or some sort of outdoor “room” that allowed for four seasons of enjoyment. As is often the case, enhanced privacy and improved shade rose to the top of the conversation during design stage. Complex rooflines and a wall of windows discouraged the room addition and forced our creative juices to rocket inventive exterior solutions. As a result, a protected patio was born and structures built. A transition deck landing was constructed. Privacy panels were erected and plantings were installed. A crushed stone patio with massive flagstone inserts behaves as the floor with a linear natural stone fire feature as a focal point.
The predominantly year-round space allows for comfortable summer outdoor entertaining in the respites of shade where cool breezes meander through. (Submitted photo)
Dark mocha painted pergola columns warm the space and serve to soften the crunchy stone patio and boulder accents. Lush plantings do the same, as the golf course views are framed. Summer and winter The predominantly year-round space allows for comfortable summer outdoor entertaining in the respites of shade where cool breezes meander through. When the curtains are opened and the fire is raging, the frigid winter temps are forgotten. Coats are shed, glasses
clink and laughter invades the space. I am reminded almost daily how incredible outdoor living spaces can dramatically impact how families live and entertain. This one is a favorite testament to that.

317-848-7634 www.centennialremodelers.com Southern façade of Doge’s Palace in Venice. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Missing portrait in Doge’s Palace Commentary by Don Knebel The Doge’s Palace on the Grand Canal recalls the era when Venice was a major maritime power, its thousands of ships travel reaching England and Egypt. One of the palace’s most notorious features remembers a celebrated execution. The Republic of Venice, which arose in the seventh century, was led by a doge, elected for life by a council of leading Venetians. The extant Doge’s Palace, completed in the 15th century, occupies the site of earlier palaces destroyed by fires. The site lies just south of St. Mark’s Basilica, which the doges used as their chapel. The palace includes apartments for the doge and his family, administrative and judicial offices, and areas where the doge received visitors. Walls and ceilings of the palace are decorated with outstanding works of Italian art, much of it Christian. The Great Council was a law-making body comprising adult males of important Venetian families. The chamber housing the Great Council was one of the largest rooms in Europe,
measuring 175 feet by 82 feet. A painting by Tintoretto showing scenes from the Final Judgment covers one entire wall, making it what is said to be the largest canvas painting in the world. Just below the elaborate gilded and painted ceiling of the Chamber are portraits of 75 of the first 76 doges, each identifying his greatest achievement. The space for the portrait of Marino Faliero, the 55th doge, contains only a painted black shroud. In 1355, Faliero was beheaded inside his palace and his body mutilated for attempting a coup against the Venetian aristocrats, allegedly to defend the honor of his crudely slandered wife. The story of the portrait missing from the Doge’s Palace inspired Lord Byron to write a five-act tragedy chronicling Faliero’s demise. The poem inspired a famous Delacroix painting and a Donizetti opera. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.

Dispatches Remove chocolate stains – Chocolate stains can be very difficult to remove, but this trick works almost every time. Put one tablespoon of Dawn dishwashing soap in about 10 ounces of water. Mix well, then spray the stain until the fabric is soaked. Allow to sit for 10 or 15 minutes, then put a few more drops of the dishwashing liquid directly on the stain. Wash as usual. Source: Naturalon.com
Clean shower doors – Conventional cleaners don’t dissolve stubborn soap buildup on shower doors. Spray the glass with cooking spray and leave for 30 minutes. The oil slides between the glass and the soap scum, making it easy to wash. Using a soapy sponge, wipe off the glass to remove the cooking spray and soap scum.
