2 more candidates interested in Fifth District seat

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two candidates announced plans in the last two weeks to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in ELECTION Indiana’s Fifth District.

Christina Hale, a former Democratic state representative from Indianapolis, announced her candidacy July 11, and Ken Tucker, a stay-atHale home dad and former teacher from Westfield plans to run as an independent.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, a Republican, is retiring when her term ends in 2020. Previously, Dee Thornton, a Democrat from Carmel, Jennifer Christie, a Democrat from Indianapolis, and Micah Beckwith, a Republican from Noblesvile, announced their intentions to run for the open seat.

Hale represented District 87 in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2016 and was John Gregg’s running mate in his unsuccessful bid for governor in 2016. In a previous campaign, she was endorsed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, which typically supports Republicans, and the AFL-CIO, a labor organization that usually supports Democrats.

She said she has developed a proven record for reaching across the aisle to get things done.

The Fifth District, which includes all or part of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties, has sent a Republican to Congress in every election since it was formed in 2000, but Hale is among several Democrats who believe that could soon change.

“Nobody expected me to win in 2012, but

when you’re talking to people about things that really matter to them and they develop personal and professional trust in you, then people vote on the candidate rather than broader partisan habits,” she said.

Hale, 47, said her campaign will focus on access to affordable health care, job creation and retaining talent in Indiana.

Hale has one son and lives in Broad Ripple with her husband and two dogs. She is Tucker executive director of youth programs at Kiwanis International but plans to soon begin campaigning full time.

Tucker, who spent 12 years as a teacher with Noblesville Schools, said he’s voted for Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians in the past and would bring an independent voice to Congress.

Tucker, 39, quit teaching to stay home with his two young daughters and said building a brighter future for them and other children he’s taught through the years inspired him to run.

“I’m going to try to do everything I can to give (my daughters) what they need moving forward,” he said.

Tucker said his campaign will focus on protecting the vulnerable, such as children and people with disabilities, and increasing green initiatives. He also wants to address education funding.

“In terms of fixing the funding we have at the state level, I want to get to a place where we don’t have to have individual districts pass referenda every two or three years,” Tucker said.

Learn more about Tucker at AGuyFromIndiana.com.

‘NOT INTERESTED’ As candidates continue to announce plans to run for Congress in Indiana’s Fifth District, at least one official who previously considered the job will not enter the race.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he is “not interested” in running for Congress after recently winning a tough primary election to retain his position. He Brainard is unopposed in the general election.

“You can have a lot more impact on people’s lives (as mayor), and I committed to be mayor,” he said. “I’m anxious to get started on the next term.”

In 2016, Brainard said he’d consider the possibility of heading to Congress after U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks announced she was interested in becoming governor after former Gov. Mike Pence became Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election. Brooks was not selected to replace Pence, which led to her Congressional seat not becoming available at that time.

Brainard spoke highly of the work accomplished by Brooks, who recently announced she will retire at the end of her term.

“Susan has done a wonderful job representing the citizens of this area,” Brainard said. “She has spoken out on a number of issues of importance.”

DISPATCHES Students participate in study abroad program – More than 700 Belmont Univeristy students started their summer off by participating in one of 45 faculty-led Maymester and Summer Study Abroad programs. These programs last from a week to a month and are led and designed by Belmont faculty to explore one or two certain areas of study, while giving students the opportunity to travel to and discover a new place.

Participating students included Cameron Corey and Zachary Lilly, both from Fishers.

Conner Prairie recognized – Since 2018, Conner Prairie has made improvements to its living history museum to make the museum friendlier for those with dementia. To recognize the museum’s efforts, CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions presented Conner Prairie with a Partner Award for its

work to make visiting a better experience for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

SOUTHEASTERN ELEMENTARY CONDUCTS RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY

An Inspiring Story “Case’s design offered many creative ideas, and we are delighted with the quality and workmanship. We appreciated their expertise and professionalism; any issues were fixed the right way, even if it wasn’t the fastest or least expensive option!”

- Case Client: Fishers

On July 21, Hamilton Southeastern Schools celebrated the completion of its newest K-4 school, Southeastern Elementary, with a ribbon cutting and public tours.

HSE grad travels to Vietnam for Fulbright Assistantship

Embarrassing Nail Disease?

FOOT VITALITY FOR HEALTHY LIVING

For the next 10 months, 2015 Hamilton Southeastern High School EDUCATION graduate Zach Wishart will teach English in Vietnam at the Hoang Le Kha High School for the Gifted as part of his Fulbright Assistantship. Wishart begins his trip Aug. 1.

The Ball State graduate said the trip almost didn’t happen.

“One of my professors, Josh Vandiver, initially forwarded an email about the Fulbright call-out meeting and I expressed hesitation because at the time I was already very busy with class and other extracurricular activities,” Wishart said. “Plus, to be completely honest, I thought it was something of a pipe dream. However, at his persistence I decided to go.”

After the meeting, Wishart wasn’t sure what nation to apply for. Another professor, Ken Hall, a three-time Fulbright winner with a specialty in Southeast Asia, recommended Vietnam.

“At the time, I really had no preference. I just wanted to travel to somewhere I hadn’t been before,” he said. “As a history major with an interest in the 1950s (through) ’70s, Vietnam seemed like a great opportunity.”

In addition to teaching English, Wishart will be a cultural ambassador.

“While the war is still deeply ingrained in the minds of Americans everywhere, perhaps because of the controversy it caused domestically, much of Vietnam has moved on. They are focused on the future, not the past,” Wishart said of Amercia’s military involvement in Vietnam in the 1960s and ’70s.

“Over the last 20 years, they have emerged as a global power economically with a high-

ly motivated youth population. As a cultural ambassador, I, of course, want to help demonstrate the best aspects of America to the Vietnamese. However, my personal interest resides in learning as much about Vietnam as possible and upon my return using what I have learned to combat Vietnamese stereotypes to my peers and future students.”

One of Wishart’s biggest challenges is he doesn’t speak Vietnamese. But he said the immediate immersion into Vietnamese life will aid learning.

“Similarly, most people in Vietnam have at least a moderate understanding of the English language,” Wishart said. “Learning a new language is one of the things I am looking most forward to about this experience. I believe it is one of the purest and most authentic forms of cultural exchange.”

Wishart regards the trip as a “life-changing opportunity.”

“I believe travel is the greatest educator,” he said. “At worst, you develop a graditude for people and ideas different than your own. At best, you have an incredible experience. From this, I hope to develop a greater appreciation and understanding for Vietnamese culture, something that is not wellrepresented in central Indiana.”

Wiffle ball tournament benefits local Make-A-Wish child

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Journey Lutheran Ministries is conducting its third annual FUNDRAISER wiffle ball tournament benefiting Make-A-Wish Foundation at 10 a.m. Aug. 10. The tournament supports a local child with a day of double-elimination wiffle ball games, a silent auction, a raffle and food.

“We try to get as many teams to play as possible,” said Becky van Sliedrecht, communications manager for Journey Lutheran Ministries, 10401 E. 116th St. “We’ve averaged about 10 the past two years, and we hope to get 12 teams this year. There are doubleelimination wiffle ball games that go on throughout the day. We declare a winner and there’s a trophy.”

Proceeds will go toward granting the wish of Gavin Hatheway, a 12-year-old from Indianapolis who wants to go to Walt Disney World. Hatheway has an aggressive form of cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, which is cancer of soft tissue, connective tissue or bone.

“Each year we’ve hit the goal of how much is required to send a child on their wish,” van Sliedrecht said. “His wish is to go to Florida to Walt Disney World. He also enjoys play-

UNMANNED IoT Lab to conduct first Festival of Autonomy

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Contrary to popular perception, unmanned machinery and COVER STORY self-driving vehicles aren’t necessarily things of the distant future. Much of the technology for such devices is on the immediate horizon, according to Indiana Internet of Things Lab Executive Director Jason Pennington.

“Autonomous and semi-autonomous technology will continue to develop, so we can either choose and learn about this and educate and take advantage and be involved, or choose to argue if it’s a good thing or bad thing and let it happen regardless,” Pennington said.

That’s why the Indiana IoT Lab, 9059 Technology Ln., will conduct its first Indiana Festival of Autonomy from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 17. The event will feature exhibitions such as robotics, drones, selfdriving vehicles and other unmanned machinery. Much of the event will focus on educating young residents.

“It’s a big part of our mission, overall.

If you think of the last eight years, what we’ve done at Launch (Fishers) and also at IoT is to engage earlier and earlier, and that is to stimulate creativity and interest in the next generation,” Indiana IoT Lab founder and CEO John Wechsler said. “If you’re in third grade and you end up here and see an autonomous vehicle or a drone doing something cool, that’s going to spawn some of those kids to potentially have interest in that career, which could lead them to higher paying (jobs) or more significant roles in society.”

The festival is a two-day event, though only the Aug. 17 portion is open to the public. On Aug. 16, the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International will conduct its quarterly meeting at the IoT Lab. The Aug. 16 event will include a panel with experts on topics like vehicleto-vehicle connectivity and vehicle-toinfrastructure connectivity.

Wechsler said he wants to create a framework for future events, although nothing is firm because he isn’t sure about AUVSI’s schedule for upcoming

meetings.

“We hope it’ll grow into a template we can replicate,” he said. “When we set out, the mayor and I, eight years ago, our overarching vision was to make technology and innovation a dinner-table discussion in Fishers,” Wechsler said. “We want families to engage in this, so kids can ask parents and siblings can ask older kids what they did in their innovation class at HSE

or what they did in their entrepreneurship class at Fishers. When you have youth engaged in this stuff, it’s amazing what they can come up with.

“Our hope is they continue to chase that innovation as they go off to college.

The earlier we can engage on those discussions, the better off we are.”

The event is free. For more, visit indianaiot.com.

AVAILABLE ACTIVITIES AND DISPLAYS AT THE INDIANA FESTIVAL OF AUTONOMY Table-top exhibits within the IoT Lab, tours of the IoT Lab demonstrating automating a home for convenience, drone workshops and other demonstrations will be among the actiities at the inaugural Indiana Festival of Autonomy.

“We are going to have a netted, aerial sky gym for the kids to fly drones in this netted area,” IoT Lab CEO and founder John Wechsler said. “They’ll just be able to get in and fly a drone for a few min-

utes and experience that.”

A DANNAR, a mobile battery pack, will be on display as well.

“It’s like the size of four Hummers stacked together, but it’s a giant battery,” Wechsler said. “Primarily, what they’re known for is disaster response.

They can come in, plug in and power a whole little village with this battery pack. They’re based in Muncie and it’s a really cool rolling battery pack.”

ESSAY Straight answers

LETTER Enforce disability parking

Commentary by Terry Anker Used cars and cellphones oddly fit into the same category of being simultaneously useful, to the point of essential, while being exceedingly difficult to purchase. To be entirely clear, it is not too hard to walk to the counter and ask for a phone, sign a paper or two and walk out with a working device.

The problem comes in understanding what, exactly, it is that one has agreed to pay.

Forever phones, leases, tradeins, trade-ups, switch-over deals, loyalty offers – wow! We are looking for a reliable device to get text messages from our kids when basketball practice is over, but we must become an expert in fine-print and wholly Byzantine exceptions, fees, upcharges, expansion packs and extended warranties.

So, we modern humans turn to the web. We look for more digestible offers without the endless double-speak of hyper-competitive sales folks effectively trained to pick our pockets. Like some updated Artful Dodger puppeted by Oliver Twist’s wicked Fagin, they descend on us, knowing little of the harm they cause as they themselves try to survive. So, the relative calm of internet surfing in our own homes leads to false security that any of a dozen or so prominent sites offer a secure and “transparent” place to make a purchase.

We chat with the sales teams.

They cut and pivot, always coming back to their own required script.

For the tough questions, we are directed to “call,” not email. Is it really for clarity, or is it to simply to loosen up the definition of “the truth” a bit? Why is it so hard to get a straight answer?

Yes, there are stupid questions Commentary by Danielle Wilson Although it’s difficult to believe, school is just around the corner. And with those first few weeks will come countless Meet the Teacher nights and information HUMOR sessions. As a mother of four who has sat through more of these than I care to recall, please allow me to share some advice.

Don’t ask stupid questions! The old saying, “There are no stupid questions” is true only for children. It does not apply to adults in a meeting. There are, absolutely, stupid questions. Here are three of the most common: • Any question you ask before the end, after being told to hold all questions to the end. Teachers are professionals.

They’ll have anticipated almost everything you want to know.

• Any question you ask after the teacher has already shared the answer.

There is nothing more annoying than

Mr. Gallagher having to back up his PowerPoint two slides just for you.

• That question about the special exemption that your child will need because she is co-president of the state 4-H this year and will probably miss several exams to organize goat and squash competitions (true story): If posed through an email or after the official presentation, this question is of course not stupid. But to waste the time of everyone in the room with such a specific, applies-only-to-your-family, passive-aggressive “my kid is awesomest!” query is ridiculous and frankly rude. We’ve got places to be, lady!

For the sake of parents everywhere, listen and heed! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

-Steve Jobs

Editor, As a handicapped grandmother for the last year, attempting to attend soccer games at Cyntheanne Park, Hamilton Southeastern High School and Fishers High School, I had difficulty walking out to the field and missed several games because of it.

I have some suggestions for the area parks and high schools: Please police and enforce the designated handicapped parking!

We have been to many soccer games and found non-authorized vehicles in the handicapped zones with no visible placards or assigned license plates.

If golf carts will be available at these venues for transporting handicapped and infirm persons onto the field, please inform visiting coaches of the availability, so they, in turn, can pass this information onto the players’ families.

I was at several soccer games this past season where a person driving a cart not 10 feet from me was not observant enough to see my cane and limping state. It appears that the drivers of the cart(s) at a lot of these venues are driving them around for fun or sport.

If carts are a dedicated transporting tool at the venues, there should be posted locations for pickup of handicapped individuals – near handicap parking.

One ticket, please Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife just took a two-week vacation — without me. Hmmm, maybe that’s redundant. Anyway, in an attempt HUMOR to amuse myself one night, I went to see a movie.

“One ticket, please.”

The young lady looked at me like I was a lost puppy. Suddenly, I felt very self-conscious. An elderly couple behind me smiled. Then, I saw them whispering.

What were they saying?

Flashback to that morning. Mary Ellen informed me she wouldn’t be home until late that evening. I’d already planned to spend the day at home to catch up on some work and maybe take a couple of two-hour naps.

I had never gone to a movie alone in my entire life. How hard could it be? Selecting a movie, for example, had always been easy.

It usually went something like this: “Mary Ellen, let’s go see ‘Shaft.’”

“Oh, a movie sounds nice. But let’s see ‘Rocketman’ instead.”

“OK.” That was simple enough. Then, I’d pick a time.

“Let’s catch the cheaper matinee at 5 p.m., Mary Ellen.”

“No, let’s go at 7 so I don’t have to rush home from work.”

This time, I was on my own. I walked into the theater. But where to sit? It was always an instant decision. “Let’s sit up front, Mary Ellen”.

“No, that’s too close. Let’s sit in the middle.”

“OK. Can we sit in the center of the row, so I don’t have to turn my neck?”

“No, let’s sit on the aisle, so it’s easier for you to get us more popcorn.”

Now, I was without my consultant. There was only one other person watching “Yesterday” that afternoon and I needed someone to explain the movie to me. Plus, I felt sorry for the guy. He was all alone. When I sat down next to him, he moved six rows down. So much for being friendly.

I was glad when Mary Ellen got home.

I have depended on her since we walked down the aisle together in 1980…to see “Kramer vs. Kramer.”

DISPATCHES Lying about money – A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged.

Source: Finder.com The value of a dollar - In the U.S., apparently not every dollar is equal. The value of $1 varies depending on where you go. According to new data compiled by 24/7 Wall Street from

the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a dollar goes the furthest in America’s “poorest states,” such as Mississippi and Alabama.

According to 24/7 Wall Street’s research, only four states (Rhode Island, Florida, Oregon and Delaware) are actually worth $1. The states that were named the most expensive include New Jersey, California and New York, with each averaging about $0.87 to $0.88 on the dollar. Hawaii was by far the priciest state — with a $1 bill being worth only a measly $0.84. The warm-weather state was also dubbed the most expensive state. Indiana ranked 11th with a value of $1.11 on the dollar.

Eat the Frog lands in Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After 24 years at Eli Lilly and Co., Daniel Frausto left his job as COMING SOON senior director of global marketing in 2018 to pursue his passion for fitness.

“I was looking into different fitness models and fitness concepts and landed with Eat the Frog and here we are one year later,” said Frausto, who is the owner and general manager of the fitness center.

Frausto, a Carmel resident, is opening the first Eat the Frog Fitness in Indiana and the fourth nationally. The studio will be at 12751 Pennsylvania St., Suite 120, in Carmel. The studio is set to open Aug. 5 for people who have registered and will open to the general public Aug. 19.

“It’s a relatively new franchise in fitness,” Frausto said. “This is the first boutique/fitness studio that is open 24/7 for group classes.

We offer classes 365 days. There is always a class.”

Coaches lead the classes much of the day, but there are virtual classes on two IMAX screens guiding workouts from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Individuals can enter with their key fob.

Classes start at the top of each hour. There are three different classes – cardio, strength, flexibility/core – looped every day into a 24hour schedule.

The personalized fitness plan recommendations are based on assessments, which are conducted every eight weeks.

“We cater to all fitness levels, whether a professional athlete or completely new to fitness,” Frausto said.

Eat the Frog comes from a quote often attributed to Mark Twain, which Frausto described the gist as meaning if you to have eat a live frog, do it first thing in the morning because the rest of your day is only going to get better after that.

“The idea is get that task or chore over with and go on with your day,” Frausto said. “Fitness is the frog for most people. Most people postpone fitness. They know it’s a good thing to do, but for one reason or another they don’t do it. Now, there are no excuses because there are 24/7 group classes.

“When you are coming to take a fitness class, you are following a very specific format that helps you to get better, to get stronger, faster and leaner.”

Frausto’s son, also named Daniel, is the assistant general manager of operations. There

will be approximately eight coaches and four or five employees rotating at the front desk.

Luke Skotnicki, a Fishers resident, is the sales manager.

“The technology is amazing,” Skotnicki said. “It really blows everyone else out of the water. I was able to see the design and how everything is low impact so it doesn’t hurt the joints. The overall atmosphere and experience you get here is next level and that’s what really sold me.”

Dan Mock will open an Eat the Frog in Indianapolis in late August. Frausto said Ryan Murray plans to open a franchise in west Carmel in spring of 2020.

Carmel residents star in ‘Flipping Exes’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nina Klemm and Michael LeSure make for unusual business partners.

The Carmel residents TELEVISION dated for a stretch of time they can’t even agree on, yet decided to form a houseflipping business three years ago called Flipping Exes.

The Bravo network saw the potential for a reality show on their home design and real estate business. “Flipping Exes!” debuts at 10 p.m. Aug. 6 on Bravo. The first season has seven episodes in which the couple finds homes in need of repair or redesign and turns them around to sell.

“I feel the viewers are going to see the dynamic that we do genuinely, sincerely care about each other,” Klemm said. “I’m very upfront and dramatic because I do have a big personality. The dynamic of him dealing with that is pure comedy in itself sometimes. We get on each other’s nerves and there is a lot of drama because we are two completely different people.

But at the end of the day, Michael and I do care about each other. I don’t think I’ll kill him, in the meantime.”

LeSure, who is a financier who oversees construction, said the fact they have different personalities creates a balance.

The partners do some of their house flipping in Carmel, which Klemm described in a show promo as “Beverly Hills of the Midwest” and “a real estate gold mine.”

The Flipping Exes business started after Klemm and LeSure broke up.

“The show follows our overall process of how we acquire houses, develop a budget and Nina’s role in beautifying a house,” he said.

Klemm has been a licensed Realtor for 10 years.

“My experience has really helped our flipping business. Working with buyers day-in and day-out really helps me transfer visions of what a client is looking for into a home,” Klemm said. “I had flipped a few houses before Michael even entered my life. Being a Realtor was my primary job and I would (flip homes) on the side, one or two a year, starting in 2011.”

Carmel Film Forum set editorial@youarecurrent.com The 2019 Carmel Film Forum, “Making the Big Picture, Preproduction and Crowdfunding,” is set for Aug. 10. The third annual event will offer three workshops and a screening of films by Midwest women filmmakers.

The event kicks off with the first workshop at Carmel Clay Public Library at 12:30 p.m. Following a table read, Eric Wayne Key, founder of Digipitch, will demonstrate his free online screenwriting and film-pitching software at 3:30 p.m.

Rachel Murphy, a professional line producer based in Indiana, takes the stage at 4 p.m. She will show how to break down a film’s budget to reflect real-life costs of producing a feature film.

The evening session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will focus on the screening of four short movies made by midwestern women filmmakers. A Q&A will follow.

Admission is free thanks to a grant from the city of Carmel. Participants will receive a printed curriculum. For more, visit moriartymedia.com/carmelfilmforum.

The vision isn’t always shared.

“As you will see in the show, Michael and I definitely don’t see eye to eye 99.9 percent of the time,” Klemm said However, LeSure said Klemm’s vision usually wins out.

“I do feel like I have to reel her in a lot and let her know we are in business to make money,” LeSure said. “But her vision in terms of what she wants the house to eventually look like, I feel she definitely wins on that. She has a good eye and knows what is current and relevant.

Budget-wise, she doesn’t win out on that all the time because there are things that just don’t make sense in terms of what she wants to do with a house and it being economically sound.”

Klemm said she met LeSure when he was a Sunday school teacher for her sons.

One thing the two can’t even agree on is how long they dated.

“Depends on who you ask. Michael forgot to tell me we were broken up, so my time frame and his are a little different,” Klemm said. “Maybe six months different,

but we make it work.”

LeSure said there was clear documentation of communication.

“Let’s disagree to disagree,” said Klemm, who said she believed they dated more than a year and LeSure thinks it was less.

LeSure said seeing the finished home product will appeal to the TV audience.

“Our dynamic, how we interact, should have some appeal and I feel Nina has a dynamic personality, which is a draw,” LeSure said.

Klemm said listening to her clients helps her understand how to do the flips.

“Every episode I talk what buyers are looking for and why they are looking for it,” she said. “When we flip, I try to incorporate everything a buyer is looking for in that flip.”

LeSure estimates they have flipped 40 houses. The more dramatic flips are featured on the show, LeSure said.

“Some houses you can get at a decent price and just need minor things in terms of paint, carpet and counter tops,” he said.

Westfield — Endless Summer Band will perform from 6 to 9 p.m. Aug. 1 at Urban Vines, 330 E. 161st St. Free admission, $10 parking.

Drink tickets are $8, good for wine, beer or slushy.

DK show offers musical mix

THIS AUGUST AT NICKEL PLATE ARTS:

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Music Men” provides the right mix for Dance Kaleidoscope dancer Manuel Valdes.

“What I love the most about DANCE our upcoming show ‘Music Men’ is that you get a balance of classical and pop music,” Valdes said. “The first half of the show features two different pieces composed by Gershwin (‘Three Preludes’ and ‘An American in Paris’) and the second half features two pieces set to the music of Elton John (‘Eltoniana’) and Prince (‘Rain’). From Act 1 to Act 2, you see us move with elegance and charm to more of a fun, jazzy and sexy feel.”

Valdes, an Indianapolis resident, is performing in Dance Kaleidoscope’s “Music Men” Aug. 3 and 4 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Choreographer Nicholas A. Owens created “Rain” and DK’s Artistic Director David Hochoy provided humor to songs by Elton John and Gershwin.

“I am only the lead in ‘Rain,’ but I am lucky to perform in all four of the pieces in the show,” Valdes said. “In ‘Rain,’ I was lucky my first year to be given the opportunity to be the lead Prince figure in the

show, which of course was a little stressful.

But at DK, we are a family and I had the full support I needed to bring this piece to life thanks to everyone. It has been an honor to revisit such a meaningful work two years later and rediscover old and new experiences during this rehearsal process. I think as a dancer and person I have grown more into myself and can add new nuances that I didn’t before.”

The performances are at 8 p.m. Aug. 3 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 4. For more, visit dancekal. org.

Leslie Ober’s active art career had to be put on hold.

“I had to take a very long ARTIST break as we’ve had six children over the past 11 years,” said Ober, whose children range in age from 2 to 11. “I haven’t done a lot of creating, but in the past two years I started doing more painting and drawing.”

The Noblesville resident will show her artwork during the Art Fair on the Square, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 3 in Noblesville.

“I’ve been focusing this year mostly on abstract landscapes, but I’ll have some other things as well,” Ober said.

Ober said she was active in the Cincinnati art scene before having her first child. She had been a part of solo and group exhibits.

“I actually traveled to Europe for painting work before kids, too,” Ober said. “I kind of put everything back on the shelf to use my creative energy to be raising my kiddos.”

Ober, a 1999 Westfield High School graduate, and her husband, Kevin, moved from Cincinnati to Noblesville in 2008. Both are both Indiana University graduates.

“My kids create alongside me,” said Ober, who is homeschooling her children. “For a while, it felt impossible, but they have gotten a little older now. I invite them into my process. Instead of them being a hinderance to me creating. I’m having them be a part of it.”

Earlier this year, Ober was juried into the Hamilton County Artists’ Association, which conducts the Art Fair.

“I’ve had the opportunity to show each month at their exhibits as well as I’ve been exhibiting at the Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville,” Ober said.

Her work has been featured for the past year in the Hamilton East Public Library’s Ignite Studio’s quarterly exhibit in Fishers. Her work was shown at Fishers City Hall in July.

Ober has a side business as a photographer.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement for entertainment in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Located in Carmel’s Delaware Trace neighborhood, this home was built in 1997. The basement includes 526 square feet of finished living space.

THE CHALLENGE The basement initially had two entertainment areas and not much room for anything else. The homeowners were looking to expand the functionality of the basement to make it a space that family members and guests of all ages could enjoy.

THE SOLUTION 1. At the top of the wish list for these homeowners was a dry bar. Cabinetry with pull-out drawers holds an assortment of glasses and barware. The cabinetry also features a pullout wine rack that holds up to 20 bottles.

2. A fully tiled wall over the bar adds unmistakable style; a decorative wall covering adorns the opposite wall.

3. A custom, bar-height rolling table was built to provide a gathering space.

4. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of rustic pine with the benefit of being waterproof and scratch-resistant, just perfect for a basement!

5. The homeowners love to sing karaoke, so four platforms were built to serve as a movable stage.

Center of Napier, New Zealand. (Photos by Don Knebel)

Napier: World’s Art Deco capital Commentary by Don Knebel Napier is one of New Zealand’s most visited cities. Much of its appeal is the result of the city’s response to a horrendous natural disaster.

TRAVEL Napier is on Hawke’s Bay along the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, about 200 miles northeast of Wellington, the nation’s capital.

The Máoris, New Zealand’s original people, settled the area because of its natural harbor. By the 20th century, Napier had become an important port city, exporting a variety of agricultural products from nearby farms and ranches.

On Feb. 3, 1931, a massive earthquake struck the Hawke’s Bay area, killing at least 256 people and destroying the commercial center of Napier. The earthquake also increased Napier’s elevation by at least 6 feet, creating about 15 square miles of new shoreline.

Undaunted, residents of Napier almost immediately began rebuilding their downtown area. Many of the new buildings incorporated the elegant and then popular architectural style later known as Art Deco.

Today, Napier, with a population of approximately 64,000, is still among New Zealand’s busiest ports, exporting large quantities of wine, wood and wool. The Marine Parade, a picturesque seaside promenade, passes by the National Aquarium, an assortment of parks, a graceful Art Deco concert shell and the famous bronze statue of “Pania of the Reef,” a mermaid figure from Máori mythology and now the symbol of the city. But Napier’s popularity with visitors from around the world rests largely on the dozens of meticulously maintained Art Deco buildings in its downtown, considered to rank second (if at all) only to Miami Beach as the best collection of such structures in the world. Vintage buses and automobiles reinforce the nostalgic feel. Every February,

Napier’s Art Deco Festival recreates the atmosphere of the 1920s and ’30s, nearly doubling the population of the city for almost a week.

Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

It’s more than a set of words. It’s a promise. A promise to be there.

A shoulder to lean on. Someone to stay with you, day and night, through thick and thin. It’s what motivates us to pursue new ways for you to access healthcare that are more flexible, more common sense, more transparent, and more human. A sympathetic ear, in person or online. A helping hand at hospitals across town, and at clinics right down the street.

If this all feels like a pretty different approach to healthcare, that’s because it is. Fact is, when you’re surrounded by Community, you’re never alone.
