Kristin Norris, a Zionsville resident, has coached the team for three years. She also coaches at Zionsville Middle School.

“We’ve been building a team that has the talent, drive and mindset to win a national championship,” she said. “We’ve played some great teams throughout the season in order to work up to this moment. We were seeded 14th going into the tournament, one of the lowest-seeded teams to make it to the gold bracket on the last day.”

The Academy Grand Park joined The Academy Volleyball Club, based in Indianapolis, in the summer of 2018. The club offers teams, camps, clinics and lessons and has more than 1,500 athletes playing club volleyball.

Nora Miller credited her coaches and teammates for her All-Star recognition.

“Playing at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports was an honor and a great opportunity to show how strong we were as a team at the national level,” she said.

Krisitn Norris said it’s “rare and fortunate” to have four players from Zionsville on the club team.

Kristin Norris, Chloe Schott, Caroline Far, Nora Miller, Riley Dixon, Taylor Norris and assistant coach Melody Buchanan. (

“I can’t wait to see how they will impact the school program in the coming years,” she said.

Taylor Norris said mental toughness is the hardest part of playing volleyball.

“There were some very stressful and intense moments, but I made it, thanks to the support of my teammates and coaches

in which I have made a very close bond,” she said.

Hoosier Village fundraiser supports Alzheimer’s Association

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com

Hoosier Village started the summer by conducting a fundraiser, supporting the Alzheimer’s Association’s The Longest Day event.

AWARENESS

On June 21, the retirement community at 9875 Cherryleaf Dr. in Zionsville hosted a fundraising event with a day filled with entertainment. Family and friends enjoyed activities and events that included a pickleball tournament, cookout and concert.

The event raised more than $4,500 for the Alzheimer’s Association.

June 21 was the day with the most sunlight, making it the longest day of the year. Nancy Nelson, vice president of public relations for Hoosier Village, said the Alzheimer’s Association created The Longest Day event on that day to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s.

“For people who are living with Alzheimer’s disease, some days can feel very long,” Nelson said. “It’s become a neat day for lots of people to recognize Alzheimer’s disease.”

According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s website, the event happens annually around

Grace Truck provides nutritious food on wheels

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

With family at the forefront of its business operation, Grace Truck brings nutritious value to neighborhoods in Zionsville, according to its owners.

from home,” Mandy said. “It is great to be in neighborhoods because we have gained returning customers. Sometimes we know what someone will order every week, and sometimes they mix it up.”

OPERATION

Grace Truck is a food truck business that has been serving Zionsville and surrounding areas since opening in December 2019.

Husband and wife Jeremiah and Mandy Clark established the business after moving from California, where Jeremiah attended culinary school and worked for the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, to Zionsville, where Jeremiah continued doing executive chef work before deciding it was time for a change.

“The restaurant business is not ideal for a family,” Mandy said. “He was working 12hour days five days a week, and it wasn’t right for us anymore.”

The devout Christian couple opened Grace Truck with the goal of serving the community and spending more time with their children.

“When we started, we were trying to come up with a name, and we wanted to pick something we were passionate about,’ Mandy said. “God and people in our lives have shown us a lot of grace, and we want to continue to give back and not only serve food but give grace to our customers.”

In the beginning, Grace Truck parked in business parks. When the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the family transitioned to neighborhoods to serve people working from home.

“So many people have continued to work

The truck serves healthy food using locally sourced ingredients, according to the couple. Almost everything is made from scratch and never processed.

“We still serve sweets, but they do not contain refined sugars. We use agave, coconut sugar and syrup,” Mandy said. “Our juices are fresh-pressed, and we choose local businesses that use clean ingredients.”

The menu has many selections, including truffle English muffins made from scratch; sweet potato hash browns; fresh-pressed juice; chicken tacos; and salads.

“The juices, English muffins and our Jesus Bowl Salad are typical of our best-sellers,” Mandy said. “Our menu changes with the seasons, and we do features to keep things interesting, but our menu has been pretty consistent.”

The food truck also caters for weddings, graduation parties and other special events.

“We live in Zionsville, and we love it here,” Mandy said. “Many of the neighborhoods we serve are close to our house, which is great for us and our children. “We do special events outside of Boone County, but we love to be here and stay close to home.”

Grace Truck is in Zionsville neighborhoods such as Cobblestone Lakes on Tuesdays and Stonegate on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. During the summer, it can be found at Azionaqua, 4875 Willow Rd., every Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Gardens of Zionsville tour still blooms

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

The Gardens of Zionsville Tour was held June 24 and featured eight private gardens. All proceeds from the event benefit the nonprofit SullivanMunce Cultural Center in Zionsville.

EVENT

While the garden tour was going on, guests also toured the flora and fauna exhibit in the art center and bid on potted planters donated by local nurseries and gardeners.

Lisa and Bernie Paul’s garden at 285 Spring Dr. showcased an array of colors and included ash trees and hostas.

Lisa Paul said she has been gardening for more than three decades. Her favorite plant is the hellebores, known as the Lenten Rose.

Marsha Webster’s garden at 575 West Popular St. contained many plants, including creeping jenny, variegated hostas, coleus and bright green heucheras.

Webster took up gardening when the COVID-19 pandemic began and enjoys oak leaf, limelight hydrangeas and hostas. She refers to her garden as a “window on the world.”

Jill and Rich Rezek have lived at their corner lot at 90 N. 5th St. for 11 years. Their garden is full of plants that nuture birds, bees and butterflies.

Across the street, Susan and Brett Conaway have been working on their garden for 15 years. The space includes a rain garden, fire pit and sitting wall.

The Conaways said their garden is full of life in every season in all stages, with native bees, butterflies, moths, insects and birds.

Janet and Mervyn Cohen’s garden at 520 W. Cedar St. served as a cooling station with water and lemonade during the event. The couple’s English garden is full of beds of blooms and containers of flowers of all textures and colors. Janet said the garden is “lovely but not quite perfect.”

Kayley and Case Hooper’s garden at 2720 S. 875 E. is dubbed the “Big Rock Ranch.” The Hoopers have lived in their house for five years, and their garden includes plants, a swimming pool, pigs and a fire pit.

The Hoopers credit their love of gardening to their mothers and state that their garden brings them back to their childhoods. Their

space has many blooms in multiple colors and boulders of all shapes and sizes.

Ann and Ed Anderson have a garden at 5885 Solomon Harmon Way with a sign that welcomes neighbors to enjoy the herbs growing near the sidewalk. Ann has been gardening since she was a child, and their garden is full of unusual and native plants, including the seven-sons flower and a black and blue sage.

The last garden of the tour, at 6485 E. 650 S., belongs to Candace Buckmaster. She has several gardens with names like Emerald City, Paradise and Sunrise. Her property has been in the family since the 1800s, and she said each garden has a special touch and sentimental value.

WE HONOR COMPETITORS’ COUPONS

DF-2000 Fluid has gained widespread acceptance and today is used in thousands of drycleaning plants in the United States alone.

Some restrictions apply. See store for details.

The growth of DF-2000 Fluid has outpaced all of the alternative technologies offered for drycleaning. This is a result of many factors including health, safety and environmental benefits, excellent cleaning performance, proven equipment technology, commercial practicality, and a reduced regulatory burden.

DF-2000 Fluid provides you with the peace of mind that comes from a well-developed, broadly supported technology with a track record of proven performance.

• Proven Cleaning Performance

When used with properly designed processes, additives and equipment, DF-2000 Fluid provides cleaning performance comparable to perchloroethylene.

• Consistent, Premium Quality

DF-2000 Fluid is manufactured and packaged to high standards of consistency and purity to deliver the same high-quality performance time after time. DF-2000 Fluid remains stable through multiple distillation and reclamation cycles.

• Virtually Odorless

Solvents with a higher level of aromatics contain more solvent odor. DF-2000 Fluid has the lowest aromatic content of any HFHC drycleaning solvent.

• Gentle on Dyes, Safer on Trims

The gentle cleaning action of DF-2000 Fluid is safer for most dyes and trims, so you can rely on it to safely clean a wider range of fancy and fragile articles with less risk of dye bleeding.

• Cost Effective

There are no usage, franchise or royalty fees required. In states where a solvent usage tax has been imposed, DF-2000 Fluid is either exempt or the usage tax per gallon is minimal. When coupled with effective processes and additives, labor and production costs are reasonable.

• Proven Equipment Technology

Equipment makers have more experience with DF-2000 Fluid than any other alternative solvent. Modern filtration, distillation, solvent recovery, water separation and safety technologies are refined and well developed to give you reliable, trouble-free operation.

• Proven Additive Technologies

No feather or extra heavy comforter. Not valid with any other offer. Some restrictions apply. Expires 8/31/23

Detergent and fabric finish additives are essential to provide important enhancements to cleaning performance in any drycleaning system.

Proud to be a patriot

Commentary by Ward Degler

I admit it. I am sentimentally patriotic to the point of being sappy. Standing on the street during a parade and watching our nation’s flag lead the band brings a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes every time.

PLAIN TALK

A few years ago, I erected a flagpole in my yard and graced it with a 6-foot ensign of our nation. The flag flew 24/7, and on national holidays I dutifully lowered it to halfstaff before raising it again to the top with a personal salute. And if family members were present, I invited them to join me.

For several years, I worked for a local car auction. Every Friday morning before the auction began, workers, dealers and spectators were invited to remove their hats and listen to Kate Smith sing “God Bless America.” Again, the lump in the throat and tears in the eyes.

When I was in the first grade in Fifield, Wis., just after World War II began, we started each school day standing outside in the snow reciting the “Pledge of Allegiance” as our principal raised the flag. I guess that small exercise in patriotism as our nation charged into war against enemies who wanted to destroy us cemented my young mind into a lifetime of love for my country.

Later, I spent a tour of duty in the Navy aboard ship. We spent a lot of time in the South China Sea, where potential danger lurked just over the horizon. Each morning, we stood in formation on the deck and saluted as the loudspeaker blared our national anthem. We always hoped the Communists were listening.

Sadly, my flagpole is down, snapped off at the base in a wind storm. Until it’s back in the ground, however, I will still offer a prayer for this nation that has granted me a life of abundance. And on the Fourth of July, a quiet salute of patriotic gratitude.

SHEAR BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

Zionsville salon empowers women through apprenticeship program

By Natalie Gargiulo natalie@youarecurrent.com

With a mission to empower women, Zionsville salon owner Rio White has brought a unique concept to downtown and established an apprenticeship program within her salon.

The No Label Studio Salon, at 640 S. Main St., provides an opportunity for women to learn and grow in the world of beauty and hair care and become stylists.

“The apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity for young women to learn directly from experienced professionals,” White said. “Under the guidance of skilled stylists, apprentices receive hands-on experience in various aspects of hair care, styling techniques, personal development and self-confidence.”

Driven by her desire to create a better future for women, White offers the program free to apprentices. It includes hourly pay and tips from clients. The program can take three months to a year to complete.

The salon accepts a handful of applicants every six months. The program has a waitlist. White said the most important part for consideration in the program is personality.

“It doesn’t matter what skills you have or don’t have,” White said. “The personality of the applicant and the ability to vibe with our team is the first thing we consider.”

Selected applicants go through assistant training before becoming an apprentice.

White, a mother of three, said she wanted to create a program where dreams are nurtured, futures are built and bonds are formed.

“From a financial standpoint, building and pouring into your team makes more sense than just building yourself up working behind the chair,” she said. “But for me, there’s no greater satisfaction than passing on my knowledge and seeing the girls accomplish things and be proud of themselves.”

White, 31, said her vision for the apprentice program goes beyond creating hairstyles and teaching techniques. She wants it to transform lives.

“I’m all about building women up in our program,” she said. “We teach the girls the importance of pouring into the community, our staff and the clients that come into the salon. I’ve had a lot of support my whole life and I want to be sure to continue to shape strong women in our community.”

Former apprentice Madison Messick, who started the program in 2020, said her experience in the apprenticeship helped her form meaningful relationships.

“Rio helped me to become the stylist I am today,” Messick said. “I loved the hands-on approach and teaching style of the salon and how I was able to just jump in even washing a client’s hair during my first hour working for the salon. The program also taught me countless technical skills.”

Karli Baron, who also went through the salon’s apprenticeship, said the environment helped her thrive.

“Rio created the most positive learning environment and creative space,” she said. “There is nothing better than being able to learn from a whole team of girls who really care about you and want you to succeed.”

White said she wants to equip the women in her program with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in this competitive field.

“When I first started to pursue this career, it was tough,” she said. “It’s a tough business in general, so I wanted to take that stress off the girls so they can just focus on learning and doing their best.”

By placing equal emphasis on instilling core values, such as teamwork and empathy, White said she wants to create

a supportive and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and gives women a sense of belonging.

“We are like a family here,” White said. “We support each other’s aspirations with transparency and trust at the center of our relationship. All of the girls at the salon are unique and beautiful.”

For more, visit nolabelstudiobyrio.com.

NO LABEL STUDIO SALON’S SERVICES

“The take-home service is a stylist consultation to determine what color works best for a client’s hair and then we send the client home with professional color and directions,” White said.

Blowout dry bars specialize in washing and styling hair with no cuts or coloring involved.

“People love the blowout bar for events but also for clients that have hair extensions,” White said. “We saw that there was a huge need for a blowout bar in Zionsville. We offer a membership where clients can come in throughout the week and get their hair styled when they need it.”

The membership includes same-day appointments and last-minute appointments. The salon is closed on weekends.

For more, visit nolabelstudiobyrio.com.

The No Label Studio Salon offers one-of-a-kind services in the Zionsville area, including the first “blowout dry bar” and “take home services” in town, according to salon owner Rio White.

Fulfilling education dreams

Commentary by Terry Anker

Anniversary B&B fallout

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

ESSAY

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education is working fervently to reverse a disturbing trend in our state — and in most states — that the rate of high school graduates who matriculate to higher education is continuing a downward slide. In Indiana, the five-year trend delivered another one-half percentage point drop this year. Included in the work being undertaken are programs to ensure that rising high school seniors navigate the federal and university bureaucracy to obtain at least three “pre-admission” letters before graduation. Anything to reduce barriers might help with the problem.

We know that training is required for higher-paying, higher-demand jobs. We know that Hoosiers who are properly credentialed almost always financially outperform their counterparts who do not achieve the degree. If so, how is it that folks are moving against their own best interest? Countless reasons might be included if we were to list the gap. Increasing costs, feelings of exclusion, lack of K-12 preparedness, or concern about aligning one’s interests with employment all might

make the agenda. But we also know that family support — really, the support of anyone — highly correlates with success in education. Are families failing to encourage kids to learn? Studies indicate that some are. Do we hate our children? Do we hate universities? There may be some of both. First-generation or underrepresented kids might see such change through education that they are fundamentally transformed. Where they live, what they think, how they entertain themselves, and what they eat — all differentiate them from their roots. Is it possible to imagine that a parent who discourages higher education loves her offspring so much that she couldn’t bear the changes it might bring? If we dreamed of lives with children and grandchildren close to us, does encouraging education require us to give up our anticipated future for theirs?

‘Lounging’ around the airport

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, I recently spent three hours in a Delta Sky Lounge, and as Billy Crystal used to say, “It was mahvelous!”

me were future heirs to a ketchup empire. Does the name Heinz ring a bell?

HUMOR

I filled a plate from a breakfast buffet that included — but was not limited to — Southern grits, link sausages and adorable little pain au chocolat, and then later restocked with lunch nibblies that may have involved a spicy capicola that would have made Tony Soprano weep with gratitude. I sipped two decaf lattes while alternating between online solitaire and Season 17 of “Grey’s Anatomy,” and I delighted in silently creating backstories for my fellow fancy passengers. One guy was definitely CIA, probably on his way to Prague or Moscow or some other former Cold War chic city to chase bad guys and jump rooftops. Another was the CEO of a successful tech startup who’d been visiting her dying grandfather in Savannah to thank him for always believing in her, and I feel confident that the young family next to

Technically, I could have enjoyed the aforementioned activities with the “regular folks” in the main terminal, but of course, it feels better in the lounge. Plus, I didn’t have to drag my luggage into the bathroom stall; I just left it at my semi-private “booth.” Most importantly, all the food and booze was complimentary. No debating whether the $18 mimosa or $20 burger is worth it. It is. Because it’s free!

So, now that I know the secret layover perks of the travel elite, how will I ever fly comfortably again? I won’t. Because it was mahvelous.

Peace out.

HUMOR

It was our 43rd anniversary and I decided to take Mary Ellen to a local art show and stay downtown in this quaint bed and breakfast. My wife loves B&Bs, so I was sure she would enjoy the evening.

The owner offered to take us on a short tour of the historic building. It was quaint and rustic, and we were within walking distance of where we planned to have our dinner. All was perfect … until we saw the bed. It was not a kingsize bed. It was not a queen-size bed. It was a double bed. The kind of bed many people sleep in … alone.

“Do you like the room?” the proprietor said.

“I love it,” my wife, said, “but where is my husband going to sleep?”

The woman looked at me and smiled.

“This is your romantic anniversary. I’m sure you will make it work.”

“Even on our honeymoon, this wouldn’t have worked,” my wife said.

Here’s why: I have a few sleep issues. I snore. I move around constantly, tossing and turning, flipping and flopping. People tell my wife she looks incredible for a woman in her early 70s. I say she’s only 40, but this is what happens when you’ve been sleep-deprived your entire marriage.

After dinner, we headed back to the B&B and prepared to turn in.

“Which side of the bed should I take?” I asked my wife.

“Underneath would probably be the best option.”

At about 2 a.m., I was having a very

scary dream, and next thing I knew I had fallen out of bed. This awakened Mary Ellen.

“That’s so sweet of you to sleep there. Now you won’t be kicking me.”

“I am not sleeping here. I fell out of bed.”

“That’s terrible. Maybe you should sleep in the middle.”

“It’s a double bed. There is no middle when there are two people. Let’s go back to sleep.”

At 4 a.m., I fell out again, pulling the pillow off with me. Seeing me on the floor, Mary Ellen got out of bed and lovingly placed a blanket over me. And there I slept — tossing, turning, snoring.

In the morning, the lady at the desk was curious.

“Some of the folks staying at the inn heard loud noises at 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Are you OK? I hope you guys didn’t have a falling out.”

“I’m fine,” Mary Ellen said. “It was only my husband who was falling out.”

We shared our adventure at the B&B with one of our friends. We told Cathy we enjoyed our stay and that next year we would return, but we were going to make different arrangements.

“Are you going to ask for two separate beds?” Cathy said.

“No,” Mary Ellen said. “Two separate rooms.”

Couple provides support for Indy Opera’s Lobster Palooza

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Mike and Kimann Schultz are true arts lovers.

‘BEAUTY & THE BEAST’

“Beauty & the Beast” runs through July 9 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

FEINSTEIN’S CABARET

FUNDRAISER

“The way we met was writing songs together, so music has always been a part of our lives,” said Mike, who was working for a radio station in Madison, Wis., at that time. “It’s our love of music and the opera art form that is the main reason we are passionate about the Indianapolis Opera. I love all forms of music and all forms of creative expression.”

Kimann, an author, lyricist and illustrator, is the chair for Lobster Palooza. The Indianapolis Opera fundraiser is set for 6 to 10 p.m. July 15 at the Basile Opera Center, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis.

Kimann and Mike are Indianapolis Opera board members. Mike, an attorney with Parr Richey, is in his third one-year term as president. Kimann and Mike, who live in Lawrence Township in the Geist area, were co-chairs of the Opera Ball a few years ago.

Mike is a member of Invisible Ray, which will perform at Lobster Palooza, a New England-style lobster boil dinner.

“We are creative people,” Kimann said. “We write and we compose things. In the social world, if it’s arts-related, that’s what we love to do best. It’s not just about inspiring people to create themselves, whether artists or musicians, it’s about supporting those who do it.”

Kimann is a staunch proponent of the Indianapolis Opera’s residence artist program.

“It fosters new talent and fosters people who have this great courage and capability to take to the deep dive from doing any number of jobs that anybody can support themselves, and they are launching careers where they want to sing and do what we call music-storytelling opera to make their living,” Kimann said. “That’s a really cool thing. I’ve always said the arts are a bridge between man and mankind. I

think the arts have a way to bring diverse people together who are truly different. It elevates us and it inspires us.”

Kimann said the Basile Center is a mid-century building, which was once the home of the Greek Orthodox Church.

“It’s had a wonderful renovation done to it,” Kimann said. “It’s a cool mid-century structure. It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood that I love. In years past, I drew homes for the Meridian-Kessler Home Tour.”

Kimann said the event is planned indoors, so rain isn’t a concern. Last year’s Lobster Palooza was planned outdoors in tents at Daniel’s Vineyard but had to move inside because of heavy rain.

“We have some outdoor access,” Kimann said. “We should have the best of both worlds.”

Kimann said Mike’s job keeps him from performing too often but said it’s one of his joys of life.

Mike, 54, has played with several bands through the years, starting in high school.

“I’m usually playing keyboards and singing,” Mike said. “It’s usually rock ‘n’ roll. I played in a country band somewhere down the line.”

The band, Invisible Ray, is headed by guitarist/vocalist Dan T. Hall, a filmmaker who has a video production company.

“To be involved in the entertainment for one of our fundraisers is going to be a fun time,” Mike said. “We’ll play danceable rock songs. We cover a lot of genres. I sing some songs from Dobie Gray and Marc Cohn and the Little River Band.”

Comedy works better than it should

Commentary by Julieanna Childs Director

Red Barn to put ‘Curtains’ up

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The musical was written by composer John Kander and the late lyricist Fred Ebb, who wrote “Chicago” and “Cabaret.”

PRODUCTION

and

co-writer

Gene

Stupnitsky (“The

Office,” “Bad Teacher,” “Good Boys”) shows off his quick wit and gift for awkward timing in “No Hard Feelings,” an edgy coming-of-age story despite a 13-year age difference between the main characters.

Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) is a local in the beautiful surfside community of Montauk, N.Y. She works as a bartender and Uber driver while chipping away at the thousands of dollars she owes in escalating property taxes. When her car is totaled, she risks losing her home and becomes desperate for a solution.

Enter wealthy helicopter parents (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) in need of their own solution to a hopeless situation. To prepare their introverted 19-year-old son for college life, they seek out a female who will casually date him, forcing him from his shell.

In a last-ditch effort to save her childhood home, Maddie accepts their offer to advance Percy’s development for the promised payout: A Buick Regal. She creates a sexpot image and secretly plans to “deflower” the Princeton-bound recluse.

The movie treads a risky storyline on the surface but delivers harmless scenarios where there’s no real romance between the characters. Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) is smarter than his parents give him credit for. He doesn’t fall for Maddie’s bombshell persona, which is more bark than bite, and has no real interest in losing his virginity. Yet the experiment boosts his confidence, leading to a confrontation with his parents and a significant change in his life choices.

“No Hard Feelings” is a semi-rom-com that works better than it should, shining a little tenderness into the prickly business of putting out.

During the past 14 years,

Red Barn Summer Theatre Artistic Director Michael Taylor was intrigued by the prospect of bringing “Curtains” to his Frankfort venue.

“I saw it on Broadway and I really enjoyed it,” Taylor said. “It’s a big show and I thought this would be a fun show if I can figure out how to downsize enough to fit the Barn’s stage. After working with my choreographer, some of the other directors, we kind of put our heads together and figured out how to make it work. We are really bringing something new.”

Red Barn will present “Curtains” from July 6 to 16. Kiara Wood is the choreographer and has a lead role, and Cole Riegle is the assistant director.

“It’s one of those shows that still has that old-school feel,” Taylor said.

“It’s a musical whodunit, so there is a little bit of a mystery,” Taylor said. “It’s a big song and dance show. We haven’t done anything this large with a large ensemble in a while, so that’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s challenging because of that.”

Taylor

The plot centers on the leading actress who is murdered and a detective, played by Adam Nichols, tries to solve the case. In the meantime, they are still trying to put on a show.

The number of cast members is 22.

“We had 18 last year for the musical, which was big for us, too,” Taylor said. “Generally, a big cast for us is 10.”

Taylor said the music is catchy.

“It’s a much lighter show than what ‘Chicago’ is,” Taylor said.

more knowledge from people who have done it year after year.”

Clark said CarmelFest organizers have been especially helpful. CarmelFest is run by the Rotary Club of Carmel.

MUSIC

During the Aug. 11-12 festival, all the main musical venues will be utilized at the same time, Carmel Jazz Fest executive director/chief executive director Blair Clark said.

“One of the great things is we have multiple venues that are different experiences for everyone,”

Clark said. “You have the Gazebo experience, the Palladium experience, where it’s a concert in a beautiful state-of-the-art facility. We’ve got Feinstein’s, where you can have a nice meal and it’s a cabaret-type of setting.”

In addition, there are outdoor concert spaces at Carter Green and indoor experiences at The Tarkington and Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Jeffrey McDermott, Center for the Performing Arts president and chief executive officer, is glad the Center venues are taking part in the festival.

Clark

McDermott

“I think it’s wonderful we can be a part of it and that the City of Carmel has the infrastructure to make something like this happen between the three venues at the Center for the Performing Arts and all the other community spaces and Feinstein’s,” McDermott said.  McDermott said the Center focuses on rental opportunities for weddings and corporate functions during the summer because the average music patron likes to be outdoors.

“So, you have these six venues with various experiences all in close proximity with one another,” Clark said.

Along with music, there will be food and alcohol vendors.

Clark said partnering with the City of Carmel, the Center for the Performing and Feinstein’s at the Hotel Carmichael has been essential.

“It really does take a village to pull it off and make it successful,” Clark said. “We have to collaborate on so many different levels. That takes a lot of organization and cooperation. We were thankful for the sponsors we have.”

Clark said he has received advice and help from Indy Jazz Festival, the Elkhart Jazz Festival and CarmelFest.

“I know the music business, but I’ve never done an event of this size,” he said. “Since this is a big undertaking, there have been organizations that have been nice enough to lend their knowledge and help me and the people who are a part of this. We have a great board but there are always going to be things you need a little

“This is a great combination because there is an opportunity for the festival to secure some spaces through us for what they are offering and have our own performance with Spyro Gyra during the festival weekend,” McDermott said. “It’s a nice coordination of events and spaces where these spaces might not be available at different times of the year.”

Spyro Gyra will perform in a separate ticketed event at 8 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Palladium. The shows at The Tarkington and Studio Theater might expose new audience members to those venues as well.

“I always say, statistically, if someone comes to the Center for the Performing Arts once to see a show, there is an 80 percent chance they’ll come back,” McDermott said. “Any time we can bring in new people who haven’t experienced performances, educational events, celebrations, we’re likely exposing them to something they are going to enjoy in the future.”

Feinstein’s will have two separate ticketed jazz events during the Carmel Jazz Festival. They are Harry Allen with Rossano Sportiello Aug. 11 and Denise Thimes Aug. 12. For more, visit carmeljazzfest.org.

“So, you have these six venues with various experiences all in close proximity with one another.”

Visiting Denali National Park & Preserve

Commentary by Don Knebel

Today, on our continuing journey through Alaska, we visit Denali National Park & Preserve.

TRAVEL

In 1906, American conservationist Charles Sheldon initiated efforts to create a national park around then-Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, to protect the pure-white Dall sheep that lived at high elevations in the area. On Feb. 26, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation creating Mount McKinley National Park. In 1937, a 93-mile road paralleling the Alaska Range, most of it still unpaved today, was completed from the park’s entrance to about its center. In 2015, President Barack Obama renamed the mountain Denali, the name, meaning “high one,” given it by the indigenous Athabaskan people.

After several additions, the Denali National Park & Preserve now encompasses about 6 million acres, one fourth the size of Indiana. About 600,000 people visit each year to view the sparkling lakes and snow-capped mountains. Glaciers cover about one-sixth of the park’s areas. Runoff from the shrinking glaciers creates “braided rivers,” with their strands constantly changing. Large animals in the park include caribou, moose, grizzly bears, black bears and Dall sheep. Smaller animals include coyotes, foxes, wolves, beavers, porcupines

and more. Private vehicles are allowed only on the first 15 miles of road, ending at Savage River. Tour buses, leaving from the informative visitors’ center, go further, with knowledgeable guides stopping whenever anyone spots an animal. Guides use hand signals to tell each other of animals ahead. In the winter, travel within the park is limited to dog sleds.

For anyone going to central Alaska, at least a day in Denali National Park & Preserve is a must. However, unless you intend to spend a long time, don’t go just for the opportunity to see Denali. Because of persistent clouds, visitors have only a 30 percent chance of sighting the 20,000-foottall mountain.
