‘Foxy’ family intrigue now playing

By Maddie Scott • news@currentincarmel.com

Greed, revenge and blackmail take center stage now through May 12 as the Carmel Community Playhouse presents Lillian Hellmans’ theatre “The Little Foxes,” a classic play about family intrigue that has awed audiences since its first debut in 1939. “The Little Foxes” takes place in a small town in the deep south during the 1900s, a time when women still were considered property. Sibling rivalry, business deals and thievery; more than a century later, audiences still are giving it two thumbs up. The audience is introduced to the Hubbard family, a dysfunctional group so money hungry they are willing to turn on one another within a split second. Everyone knows there are no secrets in a small town. However, when Regina, the only sister in the family, discovers her brothers Oscar and Ben have been keeping things hidden from her, she threatens to blackmail even the closest of relatives. In his first time directing for the Carmel Community Players, Brent Wooldridge describes the play as “riveting.” Wooldridge has directed at other theaters but is pleased to be joining the Carmel Community Players family. “I love seeing all the actors make the characters come to life,” Wooldridge said. “Every character has a power struggle. They are always trying to trump one another.” Also making her debut on the Carmel Community Players’ stage is actor Addison Ahrendts who plays

Door-to-door soliciting on the rise – There has been an increase recently in requests for solicitation permits in Carmel, according to Police Chief Tim Green. Recent weather-related events such as flooding and hail damage in the area attract a number of home improvement companies that send employees door-to-door soliciting businesses from homeowners whose property has been damaged. Green would like to remind residents and businesses in Carmel that solicitors are required to get a permit from the police department to sell in neighborhoods where allowed. These permits do not constitute an endorsement of the products these companies are selling. If you see unpermitted solicitors in your area or believe they are behaving suspiciously, call the non-emergency dispatch number 571-2580. Cutshaw named Distinguished Barrister – David Cutshaw of Carmel was recently named to the 2013 Leadership in Law Distinguished Barrister list by the Indiana Lawyer newspaper. Cutshaw, a partner at Cohen & Malad, was nominated for this award based on his dedication to the practice of law and his commitment to mentor young lawyers. Cutshaw’s practice focuses on class action matters, business litigation and medical malpractice.

Does God change?

Worst president ever?

Current columnist Bob Walters believes God’s grace, truth, love, and justice are unchanging, absolute, mysterious and entirely on His terms. Walters writes, “Rather than debate whether ‘God changes,’ our best move is to believe the truth of Christ and live for the glory of God. It’s our lives that we need to worry about changing; not God’s.”

Columnist Andy Ray asks how does G.W. Bush stack up against some of our worst presidents? “Let’s see,” he writes. “James Buchanan’s presidency was a failure because his inaction merely prolonged the inevitable Civil War. Herbert Hoover’s inaction prolonged the Great Depression. But Bush created his own mess.”

Union sues to reject contract offer By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com

The long-standing contract dispute between the Carmel Clay School district and the teachers union could be resolved within Schools the next 90 days, depending on the outcome of a recent hearing. The Carmel Clay Education Association filed an 11-page complaint with the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board against the district late last year. The teachers union claims numerous “incorrect or incomplete representations of the facts from bargaining” e-mails and public statements from the school board and administration violated state labor law and “damaged” its bargaining position. At issue are several e-mails and statements from school board members Greg Phillips and Andrew Klein, and Supt. Jeff Swensson. In his email, Swensson instructs Carmel Clay principals and administrators to read the attached contract information and share it with the teachers, which many did. As a result of the district’s actions, the complaint reads, several teachers put pressure on the contract negotiators to either accept or vote on the school district’s best offer. According to the petition, the union seeks to not only stop all further communications with teachers regarding the negotiation, but also for the district’s last contract offer to the union

to be rejected and the union’s final offer be accepted. Neither David Day, the attorney for the school district, nor the teachers union representative, Eric Hytle, returned calls for comment. Both sides presented their testimony at the two-day hearing, which was at the Educational Services Center. The hearing examiner, attorney Bernard L. Pylitt, will issue his recommendation to the IEERB within the next 90 days. Either side would have 15 days to appeal. Sarah W. Cudahy, general counsel for the IEERB, refused to comment on the specific proceedings. She also declined to give a specific number of similar cases the IEERD hears in a given year. The teachers are working under the terms of their old contract, which expired in 2012. The two sides were in state-mandated mediation when the union filed the suit in December. Laura Daily, the mother of two Carmel Clay students, says she hasn’t noticed any tension from the contract negotiations creeping into her children’s education. Because of that, she has no strong opinion about either side’s argument. “It’s a frustrating process (for the teachers and the school district), but there hasn’t been any kind of impact on my kids,” Daily said. “I’m perfectly happy with the way the teachers and administrators are doing their jobs. I hope for their sake, the situation is resolved soon.”

CHS grad charged with rape

By Robert Annis • rob@youarecurrent.com

Police are still trying to find the motivation behind the alleged rape of a Ball State woman by a former Carmel High School football star. Police claim Aaron Jeffery King crime II visited his ex-girlfriend’s Muncie apartment on April 24. When she attempted to leave for class, King physically stopped her and forced her to engage in sex. Although the victim attempted to fight back, the former running back duct-taped her face and hands and strangled her until she felt faint, according to Muncie police. King allegedly apologized to her after the assault, then fled to a Beech Grove hotel, where he was arrested the next day by Muncie police. He remained in the Delaware County Jail last Monday, according to the sheriff’s department’s website, in lieu of $60,000 bond. He was preliminarily charged with rape, criminal confinement, criminal deviant conduct and strangulation, according to Muncie police. Det. Jami Brown said the victim was “doing OK” days after the incident. She declined to give the full extent of her injuries. She said authorities were still trying to determine why King was

at his ex-girlfriend’s home. “There was no reason for him to be here (in Muncie),” Brown said last Monday. “He doesn’t have employment or live here.” According to King’s infrequently updated Facebook page, which remained open this week, he is engaged to a local Carmel woman, who Brown said was not the alleged victim. This is not the first time King has been in trouble with law enforcement. In 2011, King was charged with misdemeanor battery, felony battery resulting in bodily injury to a law enforcement officer and two misdemeanor counts of resisting law enforcement. He would later enter into a plea agreement that dropped all the charges, save for one misdemeanor count. He spent four days in jail and was sentenced to 361 days of probation. Earlier this year, he was cited on five occasions for either driving with no financial responsibility or driving while suspended. King graduated from Carmel High School in 2008, holding the record for most rushing yards in the school’s history. He attended Ball State the following year, but it’s not believed he ever made it into a game for the Cardinals football team.

Gallery is a musical masterpiece Commentary by Jeff Worrell

The view looking out from the top floor of the Palladium is turning into a panorama to be proud of as redevelopment palladium continues to reshape the core of Carmel. But turning around and looking inward while on the top floor offers a view quite different. Nestled in the Southwest quadrant of the upper level of Carmel’s most famous building is a collection of artifacts which help give context and meaning for many of the performers who grace the stage each week. The Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Archive and Gallery is a special place attracting more and more visitors who wish to learn about the rich musical history of America. Karen Kelsey is the executive director of the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative. She, along with several volunteers and staff, ensure the materials collected throughout the years by Michael Feinstein and Terrence Flannery will not only be protected and preserved, but available to be enjoyed by the public. As you exit the elevator and step onto the third floor, flappers, speakeasies, and Prohibition themes from the Roaring ‘20s easily come to mind. Entering the gallery, the soundtracks of unbridled revelry that marked the decade are

waiting for you to explore. The current exhibit, “Blast from the Past: Roaring Hot ‘20s Jazz” showcases some of the musicians who helped change the sound of jazz forever. Through the use of current technology, the gallery comes alive and turns into a multimedia educational center for the Songbook. A touch screen monitor allows visitors to see and hear the music as it was performed on stage and screen while digitized images turn the four walls of the gallery into a life-sized textbook. Exhibit cases display special pieces from the era. The exhibit will run through November 2013. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I had the opportunity to experience the gallery for myself during the taping of Carmel’s newest video broadcast series airing on Brighthouse Channel 16 and available online at www.Carmel.in.gov and at the City of Carmel YouTube Channel.The brief video segments will quickly bring more information to Carmel households about what is going on in Carmel and highlight your friends, neighbors and work associates who are behind the effort. Enjoy. Jeff Worrell is a member of the Carmel Redevlopment Commission.He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@ advantagemedical.com

Effects of child abuse often can be lifelong

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com

A record 261 people attended this year’s Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast at Ritz Charles in Carmel recently. The event was open to the public and featured a advocacy number of Chaucie’s Place staff and board members speaking about the organization’s programs and thanking their supporters from across Hamilton County. A panel of three local residents took to the stage during the second half of the breakfast to tell their stories of child sexual abuse and how it affected their lives. “To too many people, this problem of child sexual abuse is a statistic, a number. It’s not a person,” said Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place. “What we want to do today is remind you that behind Stark every number, every statistic, is a person.” The panel, led by Carmel Police Dept. Chaplain Rev. George Davis, featured a local lawyer who had been sexually abused between the ages of 5 and 12 by her father, a local Rabbi who had been sexually abused as a child by his doctor, and a CPD detective whose son had been sexually abused by a cousin and first told someone while participating in Chaucie’s Place’s Body Safety program.

r i v a t e

As these three stories were told, tears could be seen in the eyes of members of the panel and the audience. All three participants shared the common experience of feeling as if they will never truly be able to put the sexual abuse behind them. The three panelists reminded the audience several times throughout the panel that even when the perpetrators of abuse are punished accordingly, the damage, for the abused child, remains. Due to the sensitivity of the situation, Chaucie’s Place asked that the panel and its participants not be photographed. “It’s been a very emotional morning. I know

it’s been very difficult for our panelists to share their stories. I truly don’t know the words to tell them how much we appreciate their bravery,” Stark said. Attendees were called to donate time, money or both as Chaucie’s Place continues to develop its programs across Central Indiana and expand its new Lifelines program throughout more Hamilton County schools during the next year. Lifelines is a youth suicide prevention program that, through four different components, targets administration, school faculty and staff, parents and students in eighth through tenth grade.

Bike laws will be enforced

news@currentinwestfield.com

In 2012, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded to numerous driving complaints involving bicyclists, especially packs of safety bikers in the western and eastern parts of the county. “Bad behavior has come from both sides: bikers riding as if they are exempt from traffic laws and motorists creating dangerous situations for riders,” Sherriff Mark Bowen stated in a news release. According to Bowen, bicycle laws cover all bicyclists on any Indiana roadway or path designated for bicycles. In general, bikers have the same duties and rights as the general motoring public. This includes obeying all traffic laws, including stopping at intersections controlled by lights and signs, yielding to pedestrians, signaling turns and traveling with the flow of traffic. “Just as a motorist can be stopped and warned or ticketed for disobeying a traffic law, the same can be done for a person riding a bike,” Bowen stated in the release. When riding in a group or pack, state statute says bicyclists may not ride more than two abreast unless the path or roadway is set aside for the exclusive use of bicyclists. Bike courtesy is for riders to single-up or allow motorists to pass as soon as practical. Large packs of bikers should help facilitate vehicles moving around the group rather than holding up traffic. Motorists should exercise patience and wait until passing

can be done safely. “Please remember that bicyclists are much more vulnerable than drivers and are often harder to see,” Bowen stated. While Indiana does not have a bicycle helmet law, bikers should always ride wearing a helmet, according to Bowen. For more information contact the sheriff’s office at 773-1872.

State law dictates: If a bike is ridden between the hours of 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise, the bike must have a white light in front and a red light to the rear. The lights must be visible for a distance of at least 500 feet. For safety, use of lights on bikes during the day as well as reflective or retro-reflective clothing and devices are encouraged. Bikers must be seated on a permanent seat and not carry anyone who is not seated upon a firmly attached and regular seat.

Flash mob raises awareness news@currentinwestfield.com

Westfield’s Adagio Dance Academy hosted a dance flash mob last Saturday in downtown Carmel to help National Dance exercise Week achieve its mission to “celebrate dance and promote fun fitness.” “We are so proud that Adagio Dance Academy put so much time and effort into organizing this flash mob,” said Cathy Graziano, co-director of National Dance Week. “It was so much in the spirit of what we were trying to accomplish during dance week as we put dancers together with the community to promote health awareness and the fun of getting your body moving.” According to Adagio owner Dusty Marshall, Carmel has embraced the visual arts. “The city welcomed us with enthusiasm,” Marshall said. Adagio instructor Lauren Cotton and student

instructor Alli Schwaegler choreographed the dance. Students, parents, friends and local businesses were invited to join in. The 2013 Flash Mob was just one part of several NDW activities scheduled from April 26 through tomorrow designed to bring mainstream exposure to dance, as well as encourage people to get active and live a less sedentary lifestyle. This flash mob was performed nationwide simultaneously to bring attention to the art of dance and promote it as a fun form of expression and exercise. “It is so important in today’s society for people, especially children, to shut off their computers and TVs and get more exercise,” Graziano said. “Dance is a fun way to start and Adagio is helping lead the way. We are ecstatic with their efforts and appreciate what they did to help make this year’s National Dance Week such a success.” For more information about Adagio, which is at 230 E. Main St., Westfield, visit www.dancewithadagio.com.

A stellar season awaits at CFTPA

Stars and stripes It is our position that the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and Indiana War Memorials Commission are providing a valuable community service by collecting tattered U.S. flags and giving them a proper retirement. When a flag is old, worn, tattered or frayed and no longer is in a condition befitting a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed privately in a dignified matter, preferably by burning. This year, the Girl Scouts and Indiana War Memorials Commission are partnering with the 500 Festival to also collect flags the morning of the IPL 500 Festival Parade, which is May 25. On that Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m., the public may take their tattered U.S. flags to the top of the north steps at the Indiana War Memorial for collection by Girl Scouts. “Patriotism and service are at the heart of the Girl Scouts’ mission,” said Deborah Hearn Smith, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. “This is such a terrific learning opportunity for girls across central Indiana. The flags will be properly retired during ceremonies conducted this summer during Girl Scout day camps and resident camps located throughout central Indiana. For flag collection information or to make a donation, visit www.girlscoutsindiana.org.

The sound of music Commentary by Terry Anker On my way to an unreasonably early Saturday morning conference, I found myself somewhat more of a curmudgeon than usual. It had been a long week. But as the alarm sounded, dutifully I dressed, woke the car from its slumber and lurched onward. Discontentedly, I fumbled for something on the radio other than commercial announcements. With most travel time dedicated to the cellphone, I scarcely listen to music while on the road. But because of the early weekend hour, this day was different. Absentmindedly scanning from one station to the next, my attention was caught by a familiar note – the 1984 hit song “Ghostbusters.” Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, there must have been a related memory. As the tune played, the sun was breaking – it was a beautiful morning. In adjusting the volume upward and the window downward, I found the cool spring air filled with the smell of the coming thaw. In an instant, I was taken back and was a young man

having just installed an aftermarket cassette deck into my pick-up truck. The memories, the sounds, the smells all seemed as fresh and abundant as decades ago. Is there something magic in this tune? “Who was I going to call?” I wondered. More likely, one is reminded that music has the power to align brain waves, to set the mood and to calm the savage beast. Since that faithful morning, I seek time in my day for a song. Certainly nostalgia is characteristic to a man of my age, but there is more to it than reminiscence. A simple arrangement of sound and rhythm can take us across time, continents and condition. And the soundtrack that rests behind our lives adds texture and pattern, helping us frame and recall the events and circumstances that connect and make us human.

We’re proud to present The Center for the Performing Arts 2013-2014 schedule in today’s edition, and we hope you’ll take time to thoroughly review and act on it. What most impressed us with regard to the schedule is its growth in diversity of offerings. The center’s lineup has evolved into a 10-series season under the direction of President and CEO Tania Castroverde Moskalenko. Literally, there is something for everyone, and the schedule encompasses not only the Palladium, but also the Tarkington and the Studio Theatre. Moskalenko and her associates plowed headlong into making certain the lineup of acts would serve the varying entertainment interests of our region, and we believe they have achieved that objective. It couldn’t have been easy, and it certainly took her skilled leadership, but Moskalenko and those that worked with her should take welldeserved bows. We won’t blow the punch line here, as you’ll turn inside to find out everything you need to know to prepare yourself for ticket purchases, but the lineups of each series truly impressed us. It’s going to be an exciting season, and, dare we say, the best yet. We believe you’ll agree. You might want to keep the center’s box office number in your list of favorites: 843-3800. ••• Speaking of entertainment, which you might recall ranked No. 1 among our readers in recent independent market research, it is to be had in a copious serving with Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s current production of Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods.’ At times rollicking and other times thought provoking, the production is long on equal stellar parts acting, singing, sets and lighting. You’ll wonder, as we did, How did they do that? Never mind that; just grab a ticket (843-3800) and thoroughly enjoy yourself. The show runs tonight, tomorrow and Thursday through May 11.

Post office error

Editor, I mailed my income tax forms at the indoor mailboxes at the Carmel Post Office on April 14 around noon after reader’s view purchasing machine stamps at 11:57:07 a.m. The Indiana Dept. of Revenue informed us that our taxes were not postmarked until April 16. Therefore, Indiana would deny us the $222 auto refund credit and would also penalize us $39.50. I have the receipt for the stamps purchased at the Carmel branch machine. One of the machine stamps with a date of April 13 is attached to my mailed envelope to the Indiana Revenue Dept.. I have 20 days to offer evidence of timely mailing. I tell you this as an alert to others who might have also mailed taxes at the Carmel Post Office and had late postmarks causing notices from the

Indiana Dept. of Revenue. In the past, the Indianapolis Post Office has assured taxpayers during April 15 television news interviews that any mail collected by or on April 15 would be guaranteed an April 15 postmark. A mailing on April 14 mid-day should certainly have been postmarked no later than April 15. On a call to the Indiana Revenue, I explained that I had an April 14 Carmel Post Office machine receipt for stamps purchased and that one of the stamps with an April 13 date was on the envelope containing my mailed tax forms. After about a five minute wait, I was informed that the matter was resolved and no penalties were assessed. Thank goodness. I hope anyone else mailing from the Carmel Post Office on April 14 or 15 has no problems initially or upon a resolution attempt. Bruce Braden, 46032

Make Mother’s Day all about you Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Alright, mommies, our day approach eth! And because I recognize that my family, though extraordinarily attractive and talented, humor are not mindreaders, this year I’ve once again prepared a “to do” list to help them organize the perfect Mother’s Day. No more disappointment when they forget it’s my day; no more cussing out my husband because he didn’t clean the stupid dishes; and no more wondering why I ever bore children in the first place when all they ever do is fight and whine on this most precious of Sundays. I’m taking control! So here’s my list, in all its anal-retentive splendor. Deliver breakfast in bed. The menu should include a tall latte from Starbucks, a sausage biscuit from McDonald’s, and perhaps a Little Debbie Oatmeal Crème Pie. The flush of the toilet shall be your cue. Assume the role of domestic servants. I expect to enjoy, throughout the day, a clean kitchen and fresh-smelling lavatories. I don’t want to have to remind someone to remove his soccer cleats from the stairs, nor do I want to receive any requests for laundry or meal prep. Uniforms are optional. Kennel the dog. Elsewhere. Be nice to each other. Nothing ruins a peaceful mood more quickly than a smack-down among ‘tweens. Take your fights outside (unless I am outside, in which case you should go to a

neighbor’s before resuming your rumble). Pretend that you love each other. Compliment me. “You’re beautiful, Mom” or “You look skinny today” will do nicely. Take me out for a simple dinner and don’t throw a tizzy if they’ve eighty-sixed the chicken fingers. This isn’t about you! And please pick a restaurant that serves alcohol. Tuck me into bed. Ask me how my day was. Tell me to have sweet dreams. Even moms like the nighttime TLC routine. Sure, making a list of things for your family to do on Mother’s Day isn’t the most romantic way for life to go down, but let’s face it, this is a heck of a lot safer for everyone. I know I’ll get what I want, and they know they won’t be in hot water come Monday. Spelling it all out also takes the guess work and pressure off your husband. So if you want flowers, ask for them. If you want a day entirely by yourself, plan it. And if you want to bathe in butter-smothered popcorn while enjoying a chick-flick double-header featuring Channing Tatum and his gorgeousness, then Fandango tickets today. Make Mother’s Day about you for once by doing what you do best – controlling everything and everyone around you! Peace out.

Poignant critiques from a cell Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

As a writer and TV reporter, I have received praise and criticism of my work. Over the years, I have tried to benefit from both, but humor some recent feedback came from an unlikely source. It has been quite a joyful learning experience for me. So on a serious note this week… The story begins at WFYI, the local NPR affiliate where each week I read my column for radio listeners after it has appeared in this publication. From her prison cell where Tanya (not her real name, of course) has been in solitary confinement, she tunes in regularly to my segment. She wrote the station to say how much she enjoyed it. In gratitude, I sent her a few of my books, including Indiana Curiosities, a compendium of the offbeat people I have met and quirky places I have visited in our state. Tanya writes in her thank-you note to me, “I am not sure that a book with so many bad puns and bad jokes should not be banned or burned.” She had a point. Then this observation on a chapter about Indiana’s smallest town with a population of three people: “I want to live my whole life in a town like Pinch. I think that would be cool.” Tanya is alone in her cell. Life in Pinch may seem like a modest wish, but it would more than double the human contact she has now. Her letter is abundant with insight about

her plight. She is perceptive and introspective. “Sometimes it is all too big to deal with. You can’t whisper an acknowledgment of what is happening for fear of a chain reaction. It starts in your head, squeezes your heart and pools in your eyes. You hold it back and then some wellmeaning person asks if you are OK. Boom! Open the floodgates. Drown in sorrow. Fall apart. Float away.” I know little about her case. That is not the purpose for my sharing her letter. For me, her observations are simply evidence that in most of us there is some spark of humanity, a reservoir of reflection, even if it is not apparent to others. Tanya is a gifted writer. She is working on her memoirs, hoping that all those who read her words might question the ultimate value of the treatment she endures and its ultimate effect. At the close of her letter she notes: “I want you to read more of my writing, but would you like it? Your approach in your books is so lighthearted; I wouldn’t want to offend your sense of decency.” For me, the decent thing to do was to share a little of her story.

‘Complex process’ a passio� currentnightandday.com

CFTPA CEO Tania Castroverde Moskalenko details what it takes to present a 10-series season

The Chieftains. Presenting a wide array of international acts is something that is very important to Moskalenko, she said. In many ways, it is about more than just art. “I think that the area, Carmel specifically, and the greater Indianapolis area are two areas that are growing in terms of demographics. I feel that if we are going to continue the efforts of attracting talent into the area, then we need to be providing the same type of entertainment and artists these kinds of professionals would expect (to have access to) if they moved to New York or Chicago or Boston,” Moskalenko said. As an example, Moskalenko named Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist opening the 2013-2014 season this September, who took part in the 2008 Summer Olympics’ opening ceremony and has played Carnegie Hall, the White House state dinner and more. As one of the world’s leading pianists, Lang Lang is exactly the type of high-profile act CFTPA is excited to have booked for the upcoming season.

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com For many, scheduling more than 45 musical acts for a full season is a daunting task. For Center for the Performing Arts CEO Cover Story Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, it is business as usual and something she has been doing for more than 15 years. The massive lineup, its announcement and the upcoming performances are the culmination of more than a year’s work. (The full schedule, as of press time, may be found on pages 19-23 in today’s edition of Current.)

A place for discovery

Scheduling a season

“(Scheduling) is a very complex process,” Moskalenko said. “I think of a full season at once, and I like to call it curating, like you would consider and conceive an art exhibit.” Much like curators attempt to find visual balance within an art exhibit’s pieces and the space, Moskalenko works to find balance between a number of factors and the available venues. “There are many considerations (she keeps in mind). The first and foremost is really knowing the community that you live in and knowing your patron base. For us, it’s not just important to know Carmel, but it is also important to know who we serve, and certainly we serve more than Carmel,” she said. “We have patrons from 44 states, 10 countries and five continents. That’s pretty remarkable for such a young organization.” The CFTPA’s 2013-2014 schedule includes 10 series, each of which highlights a specific genre of music or style of entertainment. Each series presents challenges, but Moskalenko and others work to make sure the acts being scheduled make sense for the CFTPA’s venues, including the Palladium. “There is such a wide variety of artistic choices. For each genre we present, we then start focusing on those and who would be a great fit for our venue based on the community we serve and the size of our venues,” Moskalenko said. “We’d love to present Elton John, but that’s not going to happen at a venue our size, so we have to recognize (that).” Even when an artist or performance fits both CFTPA’s patronage and the venue, it may not always make sense financially. Considering the financial impact of an act and judging its success is something that is central to the planning of any season. “(We have to ask), Does it financially make sense to bring an artist into our space? We want to be good stewards of the public dollars we receive, and we want to keep ticket prices affordable,” she said. After all of these components are considered, only then can an act finally be scheduled. “(Scheduling) is not a process you do for two months and don’t revisit until next year. The booking process is something that’s

continual,” Moskalenko said. During the coming months, CFTPA will be working to add more artists to the schedule as more good fits are found throughout the world of music, performing arts and dance.

The importance of world-class artists

The 2013-2014 season includes a new World Stage series that is set to feature artists that include Fernando Otero, Mariza and

Want Tickets? The Center for the Performing Arts box office opens at 8 a.m., Monday, May 6, with phone orders (843-3800) accepted at 10 a.m.

While well-known and big-name acts are certainly always a key aspect of each of CFTPA’s seasons, Moskalenko also believes that it is the responsibility of the venue to book those artists who are looking to change their respective art forms, acts that are creating something new. “It’s our responsibility to push the envelope in some respects,” she said. “It’s about discovery. Our responsibility is to provide that platform for our patron base to come here and discover new things.” Last year, Moskalenko saw this type of discovery in Hugh Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band, a performance that quickly sold out due to the public’s awareness of Laurie’s role on the popular television show, “House,” rather than his band’s blues and folk music. At the performance, many people came to discover an entirely new genre of music that they had never considered. Since then, Moskalenko has had many people ask her when Laurie might be coming back and whether any similar artists are being scheduled. Creating that kind of excitement for art is one of her favorite parts of the job. “It’s so rewarding as a curator to say, ‘Wow, someone discovered this and their eyes, their world, opened up,’” she said. For more information on CFTPA’s current and upcoming seasons, visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org or call 843-3800.

the d r e a m a ct When asked who she would book if she was free of any and all limitations, Moskalenko was quick to name her choice. “There is one artist I really, really, really want to present. That’s Leonard Cohen. I think if he came here it would absolutely sell out. I have never been able to present him, and that would be a dream act for me, a dream presentation,” she said. “He doesn’t perform all that often anymore and I don’t know that he’s performed in a space as small as ours, but his voice is just…” Moskalenko said before trailing off as she excitedly reached to her computer to start one of Cohen’s songs. “He’s just an icon, and he’s such a poet and then that voice.”

“A mother is someone whom when she sees that there are six people and only five pieces of cake, declares, ‘I never realget cooking ly did like cake very much.’“ Honor a mother this year with one of these delicious and special treats… and make enough for everyone.

Orange Lemon Cake with Mascarpone Vanilla Cream

Serves 8 Cake: 4 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup ground almonds, 2 lemons - zest and juice, 2 oranges - zest and juice, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, Pinch of salt Mix first seven ingredients together on high and add the dry ingredients until just blended. Place in buttered round cake or pie dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Mascarpone mixture: 2 cups heavy cream, 1

pound mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla Whip cream with sugar and vanilla. Add mascarpone cheese and continue whipping until just slightly stiff. When cake is cooled, cut into pie wedges, slice horizontally for each serving, placing a dollop of the cream in between layers. Sprinkle with toasted coconut or slivered almonds if desired.

Cooking tip: Microplanes work best for zest yet a vegetable peeler works well, just more steps. Peels should be salted or sugared lightly (sweet or savory recipes) and then diced. The sugar and salt help with the dicing and also absorb the zest oil so it is not left on the cutting board but used in the dish.

Vase is a great gift for mom

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

Between Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Day, we stay very busy this time of the year creating at our home. So this year Crafts I came up with a cute and creative chalkboard vase that would be perfect for either occasion. It is simple to make, provides a lot of room for customization, and it is also inexpensive to create as well. And if you love to get your kids involved in creating and crafting, this is one they are sure to enjoy making. You Will Need: Glass vase (mine was from the dollar store), Chalkboard paint for glass (you’ll find this in a craft store near the acrylic craft paints), Painter’s tape, Foam brush, Chalk or chalk marker Once you have assembled all your supplies, use your painter’s tape to tape off the portion on the vase that you will be painting. I did a simple rectangle, but feel free to be as creative as you want. Next, using your foam brush, apply chalkboard paint to your glass vase. Let it dry completely. Apply a second coat of chalkboard paint.

Let it dry completely. Remove painter’s tape. At this point, be sure to read the instruction on the back of your chalkboard paint. Mine said to allow the paint to set for four days and then to bake it in the oven to make it washable. Each paint brand will vary a bit, so just be sure to follow the specific paint instructions when you get to this point. Rub a piece of chalk over the surface of the chalkboard paint to prep the surface before using. Use your chalk or chalk markers to create a special message to that amazing mother or teacher in your life. You can then fill this vase with any number of things. I filled mine with one of my mom’s favorite candies, but flowers would be lovely as well. If you give this to a teacher, you could fill it with pencils or pieces of chalk (do they even use chalk in schools anymore?) or perhaps just stick with candy.

Help calm mom’s stress

Commentary by Kristina Johnson

Mom, mamma, ma, mommy. The list goes on, but one thing is clear – these women hold a special place in our heart. pampering mom While we should strive to honor these women every day, one day a year is set aside to give special tribute to the loving women in our lives. Whether she’s your mother, grandmother, aunt or a family friend, it’s important to acknowledge how much she means to you. I’ve seen all ages of mothers and daughters bonding over pedicures, even three generations of women having fun getting pampered together. A nail day with your mother -figure is a great way to connect and spend time together. Even if she’s not a spa girl, often spas will offer sport manicures and pedicures which don’t apply polish to the nail. Another great option is to treat your mom to a massage. I often trade shoulder massages

with my mom and know the positive effect they can have. As often as you’ve stressed her out (whether it be now or in the past), a massage is a great gift to give. The benefits of massage go beyond finding bliss. Massage lowers blood pressure, helps with depression and anxiety, boosts immunity and improves sleep. And don’t forget about hair. I’ve often noticed mothers and daughters sharing stylists. But even if you don’t share the same stylist, treating your mom to a wash and style can make her feel like a new woman. So remember, whether she’s girly or not, treat your mom this Mother’s Day and every day. She deserves it!

Neck scar can be improved

Commentary by Barry Eppley

Q: Dr. Eppley, my son was born premature and needed a tracheostomy. He then had a tracheolaryngoplasty performed at 3 years of age. This has left a large ‘hole’ in his neck. He is now 11. We have seen a plastic surgeon who seemed to think that it couldn’t be made better. Do you have any experience with this type of neck scar problem? He is quite small for his age, has a very husky voice, and the scar is not good for his self-esteem. A: Having done numerous tracheostomy scar revisions throughout the years, I have observed that they come in numerous orientations and depths. The most difficult tracheostomy scars are those that are significantly indented such as

the one your son appears to have. They require more than just a simple excision of the wide scar because there is a significant soft tissue deficiency between the skin and the underlying trachea. This tissue deficiency must be replaced to get a satisfactory outcome. I usually use a dermal-fat graft to fill in the defect after the scar edges are released and undermined. Then the skin portion of the scar is closed over the graft to get a smoother neck contour.

Ballroom reflects couples’ passion By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

Judy and Daniel Corsaro met on the dance floor and now their passion for all things ballroom has led to the opening now open of their own dance studio. “Dance has been a huge part of our lives, and it’s always been his dream to do this full-time,” said Judy, co-owner of Ballare Ballroom, 111 Medical Dr. “His father actually was a dancer and danced with Fred Astaire. I am not sure where my passion for dance came from, but after my first lesson, I was hooked.” The studio will host an open house from noon to 5 p.m. today (May 4). “We’ll have some people dancing and refreshments – it will be very casual,” Judy said. “We want people to come see what we have and just have a good time, dance a little, it will be fun.” Ballare (which means dance in Italian) Ballroom will offer both styles of ballroom – American and international. “It’s a unique studio because we do not sign people to contracts. You just pay per lesson and take what you want to take,” Judy said. “This is student driven, and we want to provide what people want and get them dancing. We love it so

Renter’s insurance is critical Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Carrie M. from Westfield: I am graduating from college soon and am fortunate to have found a job that Insurance is going to allow me to finally move out of my family home. Is renter’s insurance something that I really need? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations on the new job! Now it’s time to protect that paycheck with a renter’s insurance policy. People like to make a lot of excuses as to why they neglect to purchase a renters insurance policy. “I can’t afford it.” “I don’t have enough stuff to insure.” “Nothing is going to happen to my stuff.” The liability protection alone is really enough reason to buy, but let’s break it down. The first thing you need to know about renter’s insurance is that it’s pretty affordable. A typical policy can cost less than $200 per year. That’s less than $4 per week. It’s worth the sacrifice. You are also in for a nice bonus if you already have car insurance. Many insurance carriers will give you a multi-policy discount if you package your auto and renter’s policy together with the same company. The second thing you need to know is that your stuff is much more valuable than you realize. How much would it cost you to start again if you had a total loss? Apartments burn down and get robbed just like houses do. Starting over

after a loss like that is much easier when your independent insurance agent drops off a check to replace all of your stuff. The last thing you need to know is probably the most important. A renter’s policy protects your financial assets by providing liability coverage. Liability insurance covers you for injury you cause to others and for damage to property that belongs to others. There are many ways to trigger a liability claim, so I’ve got some examples for you. Claim Scenario A: You decide to play in a recreational softball league. While batting you hit a pitch back at the pitcher putting him in the hospital. The pitcher sues you and your renter’s policy steps in to defend you and settle the suit. Claim Scenario B: You have some friends over for dinner. Your floor is wet and one of the friends slips and falls requiring medical treatment. Your renter’s policy steps in to pay for the treatment. The risk of going without this simple insurance coverage is not worth the couple of dollars a week that you save by not having it. Call your independent insurance agent today and make sure you’re covered.

Problem solving causes frustruation Commentary by David Cain

You ever feel frustrated with someone you personally like? We all do sometimes. Everyone gets frustrated and annoyed by Advice people they really enjoy. How you approach a problem, your fundamental instincts in problem solving, might just be at the root of it. We all solve problems differently. How you solve a problem is less about your personality as it is your own personal process for problem solving. Someone kicks sand in your face, some of us would shove the offender down immediately while others would ask, “Why’d you do that?” and evaluate the answer before taking any action. When solving problems, there are people that need research, facts and additional information before they will do anything. Others will act without any answers. Some need to build things or dive right in and get their hands dirty while others need to follow a mapped out process. Everyone has a unique path and work and home frustrations can rise when people don’t appreciate your unique path. If you need data before making a decision, you’ll frustrate a person who prefers to jump to action

and figure out the facts on the fly. You could be great friends but become quickly annoyed if you work jointly on problems. We all have a natural tendency to think everyone is wired just like us and that our way is the only way. Truth is, there are a lot of ways to do things and none more inherently correct than the others. Two children from the same house, the same parents, the same opportunities and insights more often than not are fundamentally different. Those two children might both approach a problem in different ways but reach a similar successful outcome. You have to appreciate and understand that everyone has a different approach to solving a problem. Everyone has differing needs. Everyone is not the same when solving a problem. That means you have to communicate to people in a way that meets their needs, not yours. And, as my youngest daughter likes to say about things she agrees with, “I think Blake would turn around for that.” David Cain works at Magnitude, a sales and marketing company.

Clothing event funds research

WE ARE COMING SOON WILL YOU BE READY?

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A group of local business owners, volunteers and a passionate family partnered to host The Pink Label Event, a highPhilanthropy end consignment sale benefitting the Caroline Symmes Cancer Endowment last weekend at Cool Creek Commons shopping center. Caroline Symmes was just 3-years-old when she was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor Disease. The cure rate for a Wilms tumor is 90 percent, but Caroline had one of the most aggressive tumors oncologists had ever seen. Her mother, Elizabeth Symmes, said it wasn’t due to a lack of technology that Caroline lost the battle at the age of 5, it was because of a lack of funding for pediatric cancer research. The family created the Caroline Symmes Endowment for Pediatric Cancer Research at Riley Hospital for Children “to ensure that all children stand a fighting chance against cancer.” “Caroline loved clothes, and one thing led to another,” Elizabeth said. “It’s very heartwarming and very bittersweet. We’re so fortunate and appreciative to those that have come forward to make it bigger and better. Kite Realty donated retail space for two months at Cool Creek Commons near 146th Street and Greyhound Pass so Elizabeth and her volunteers could set up a temporary headquarters before the event. Elizabeth said the previous events were held in Washington Township but

the new location provided more foot traffic. “There is a real sense of community here. Everybody is trying to help us,” she said. Donating new products to the event were local businesses like Reis Nichols, AH Collection, uber boutique and design, 14 Districts, Niche, Lesley Jane, The Yoga Studio, 8 Fifteen and Nikki Blaine Couture. “It ranged from three watches from Robert Goodman Jewelers in Zionsville to tens of thousands of dollars from local boutiques,” Elizabeth said. In the first two years, Elizabeth said the event has raised $106,000. The phase 1 goal for The Caroline Symmes Endowment is to raise $1 million to ensures a sustainable endowment fund to support a full-time researcher studying pediatric cancers.

If you’re curious about the spring and summer trends for 2013, there are plenty to choose from. But, a personal favorite which will only leave you feeling like Coco Chanel Glam Chic Gal off the Rivera chic is embracing the black and white palette. For obvious reasons you cannot go wrong with the scheme of things. But, please be mindful of the geometric lines and shapes that are galloping the catwalks from the United States to Paris. If you want to look taller, wear vertical lines. They also add a slimming affect. Horizontal lines are attention-grabbing and will make you slightly wider. The unusual shapes with elongated ends can be quit appealing. Nevertheless, your personal identity will be confirmed by adding splashes of color or animal print for the pop factor. Apparently, there is more than one way to “go green” Try emerald green this season. Here is a new way to introduce a color you may not have in your closet. The splash of green with the use of your accessories will let your friends know you are current this fashion season. From one extreme to the next, it really depends on your personality, the neon scene is prominent on the international catwalks. From neon yellow to a neon coral this look brings a renewed energy to your wardrobe.

Introducing Nikki Blaine “My column, The Glam Chic Gal, will aim to educate you on the do’s and don’ts of how to dress. I will offer fashionable tips from the unexpected (hydrogen peroxide will remove a blood stain) to what your favorite color represents. And we cannot leave out sharing the hot upcoming trends!”

Robben Island a Cape Town must-see

Commentary by Don Knebel

Guided tours of notorious prisons can be entertaining, as known by anyone who has listened to the Beefeaters at the Tower of Travel London. But a tour of the prison on Robben Island is a far different experience, providing insights about the man who spent 18 years there on his way to becoming the president of South Africa. Robben Island is in Table Bay about five miles from Cape Town. Since the earliest days of the Dutch settlers, Robben Island has been used as a warehouse for people not wanted on the mainland. A guided bus trip around the island points out cell blocks and a cemetery for lepers that give silent testimony to the plights of people who lived and died there. Today, Robben Island is known world wide because of a single prisoner. In 1964, Nelson Mandela was sent to Robben Island for his role in encouraging acts of sabotage against the white-only government. While there, he was consigned to the infamous limestone quarry a 20-minute walk from the prison. He was forced to work day after day against a bright rock face removing stone for use in island roads, with the glare and dust permanently damaging his eyes. But Mandela did more than swing a limestone pick. He took control of the younger activists who were also there for participating in acts against the government. So influential was Mandela in

teaching and inspiring these prisoners that Robben Island became known as “Mandela University.” Perhaps to deprive the students of their teacher, Mandela was transferred to another prison in 1982, from which he was finally released in 1990 in an event televised around the world. Former inmates now act as guides at Robben Island, showing visitors Mandela’s eight-by-sevenfoot cell furnished with a bucket, a small table, straw sleeping mats and some blankets. They also tell stories about the lessons of discipline and

patience they learned from the man who eventually became the leader of their country. Cape Town is a beautiful and modern city, but it is the tour to Robben Island that makes a trip there really memorable. Don Knebel is a Zionsville resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Kids, dogs and furniture … oh my! Commentary by Vicky Earley

I hear this frequently: I have kids and or pets so I don’t want to spend much on a sofa. When you see the ad decorating for sofas that retail for the amazing price of $999, you can be confident that you are purchasing some of the most expensive cardboard, particleboard, glue, staples and low-grade foam ever, and that is the exact reason not to be frugal when it comes to this investment. When covered with the right fabric, a quality sofa will look good for many years while a cheap version can look sorry after as little as six months of use by an active family. There are better places to cut costs that won’t be nearly as obvious. The internal workings of lower-priced furnishings typically feature a drop-in machine-tied system. This is a pre-assembled, machine-made coil system designed to simulate the hand-tied predecessor. The machine-made system drops into the frame and is fastened at the corners. This type of coil system attempts to mimic the traditional method of eight-way hand-tied coils, but is generally considered inferior in the support and comfort it has to offer. One of the problems is that when one of the coils fails under the catapults of a 4-year-old, the comfort and structure

cannot be retrieved Solid wood frames ensure that your sofa is not going to fall apart throughout time. While engineered wood can provide a decent quality piece, solid hardwood frames are the gold standard in most quality upholstered furnishings and are the best defense against the gymnastic moves delivered by 7-year-olds. Corner blocks are used to provide solid support for the sofa frame. A piece of wood is wedged between one side of the sofa and the other and then secured in place. This construction method offers reinforcement for the joints and results in a stronger frame. Glue and stapling corner blocks on a frame is the easiest, least costly way of manufacturing a sofa frame, but it carries with it the poorest reputation for strength and is destined to fail under the stress of teenage plopping on furniture. Arm yourself with knowledge and questions before making this investment. If the salesperson does not know how their product is made, quality is probably not of importance and the wise consumer will hold on to their checkbook.

TRY THIS TREND Nude lips are a hot accessory right now, but they do require special attention in order to pull it off. The great thing about makeup is that you can try it once and if it doesn’t work for you, there’s always something else. With so many shades available there’s a great nude color option available to suit your skin tone. Create a Perfect Pout Starting with a fresh palate is absolutely essential to making this look work. Be sure to gently exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub. Then, use a chapstick to moisturize before applying a liner. Line Use a lip liner the same shade as your lips, this will help create a full, flawless look. Color Choice The lip color should be carefully chosen with your skin tone taken into account. Choose a shade that makes your skin look warm instead of cold or pale for your complexion. For best results, come and visit us at Salon 01 for a personalized consultation with one of our trained estheticians.

3 MUST-HAVE SUMMER DRESSES Flirty Summer Dress For warm summer days and steamy summer nights, there’s nothing sweeter than a flirty sundress. Dress it down with cute flats or sandals; dress it up with statement jewels and heels. Ladylike Printed Dress A tea-length (or knee-length) floral dress will wear just as well at backyard barbecues and garden parties as summer weddings and evening events. If you’re feeling bold, go for a big, bright print. The shyer among us might prefer the smaller florals. Floor Length Stunner A simple floor-length dress in a bold color or print looks gorgeous on the red carpet, but also can be dressed down with flat sandals and a casual tote bag during the day. The slip dress silhouette works best on tall, lean figures. Empire-waist and halter maxi-dresses are flattering for curvier bodies. And petite ladies who want to look taller might opt for a solid color with platform sandals. HOW TO WEAR METALLIC SHADOW We think this is a great look, when it’s done right! Sometimes, a metallic shadow, when applied incorrectly, can look flaky, or even outdated. Instead of passing on this trend all together, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade that’s right for you. Step One: Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones. Step Two: Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop Step Three: Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow.

Feeling a little exposed in your backyard?

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Generating privacy is a frequent objective when creating an incredible backyard living space. And while most of us outdoors love our neighbors, a little intimacy is appreciated when grilling, entertaining or squeezing in a little relaxation time. Strategies for creating privacy are fueled by tastes, space limitations and budget. Often a combination of strategies is the best solution and offers the most intrigue, too. When planned smartly, appreciated byproducts of successful privacy strategies are controlling noise pollution, providing a wind barrier and/or protection from the sun. LARGE VS. SMALL SPACES Homes with open back yards and plenty of geography between the neighbors often lead us to marry a handful of evergreen trees with a few large shade trees. The opposing structure of each tends to compliment each other and fill in the awkward gaps. Visualize that tall evergreens are very pyramidal, leaving vulnerable areas toward the mid-range height, often where a second-story house needs mitigated. The dense canopy of shade trees serves to fill in the gaps, even in the winter. Immediate landscape bed plantings around your living space serve to create the â€œsense of placeâ€? we often refer to and contribute toward the privacy goal.

Pine trees help create a privacy screen in large yards. (Submitted photo)

Courtyards and abbreviated backyards require a completely different perspective that often employs columnar evergreens, custom lattice panels and ornamental grasses. We dig tight spaces that force well planned ideas. Architecturally trimmed, cedar privacy panels constructed between pergola posts with a tamed wisteria or brilliantly flowering clematis trailing up the structure not only provides intense privacy, but is a stunning strategy that elevates the livability

of any space. Feeling a little exposed? Implement a few of these privacy ideas and get ready to enjoy your back yard like never before!

Floors are style’s foundation Commentary by David Decker

Flooring plays a major role in the look and feel of room. In fact, you may not even realize what an impact it makes on the indoors space until you decide to make a change. Flooring takes up a great deal of space, which is why it can be such a defining factor in the style of your entire home. Making a flooring decision combines personal taste with practicality. The best options are going to elevate the look of your home while remaining useful during day-to-day activities. Let’s first take a look at how new flooring can boost the aesthetics of your home. Modern flooring colors, textures and patterns can radically alter the overall look of your home. Some flooring trends can even improve the look of a room through tricks with spatial perception. You can make your kitchen or bathroom look larger by replacing old laminate with large, rectangular tiles. The wide pattern will trick the eye into perceiving the room as more open and airy. You can also pull decorative elements in your home together through one cohesive type of flooring. Try using the same hardwood floor throughout your home for a unified look. Installing new flooring can also be very practical. It gives you the opportunity to select a

functional floor that best suits the needs of the room. If the room receives a lot of foot traffic, you can select a durable floor such as hardwood, ceramic tile, vinyl or natural stone. Or, if you have pets, a new, stain-proof carpet might be exactly what you are looking for. And of course, new flooring can add value to your home, especially if the design is timeless and adaptable. If you are looking for a great, decorative place to start experimenting with new flooring, try instantly wowing guests with new tile or hardwood in the foyer or entryway. Oftentimes, these areas feature very little furniture and decorations, so the flooring can really take center stage. From the instant guests walk through the door, you can make a great first impression just by implementing an elegant flooring design. Flooring designs really make up the foundation of a room’s style. Everything from the atmosphere to the functionality of the room can be affected by the flooring you choose. Plan carefully and find an option that works best for your home.
