Council considers spay/neuter ordinance

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel City Council is considering an ordinance to enforce the spaying and neutering of cats and city council dogs in Carmel’s city limits unless pet owners obtain a $10 breeder’s license. The law is being considered because a countywide order will no longer be enforced, and each municipality needs to have its own law.

The ordinance was sent to committee.

The proposal states that every dog or cat older than six months should be sterilized by a licensed veterinarian, unless the veterinarian states in writing that it’s in the animal’s best medical interest not to do so. Pets must be spayed or neutered by nine months.

A violation is subject to a fine of not less than $100.

The breeder’s permit only allows for a maximum of one litter birthed per year by a dog or cat. It prohibits selling, trading or giving away more than a litter in a year.

Breeder’s permit holders cannot sell a puppy or kitten that is less than eight weeks

old. All dogs or cats offered for sale must be immunized and in good health.

Former Carmel City Councilor Luci Snyder, a longtime board member for the Humane Society for Hamilton County, said it’s important to spay and neuter pets, and she approves of the proposal.

“I did read the proposed ordinance and believe that it is excellent,” she said. “It is not a repeal effort but actually gives our police department the wherewithal to enforce the law. This is much like when the police asked the council to set and post speed limit signs so that tickets could legitimately be issued.”

City Councilor Jeff Worrell said it’s a good idea and that he’s received calls from people who were concerned about feral cats in the city.

Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the chief purpose of spay and neuter laws is to crack down on irresponsible breeders who run “puppy mill” operations. She said the goal isn’t to knock on every door and check if each dog or cat is spayed or neutered.

Dispatches Car accident – An automobile accident just after 9 a.m.

Dec. 28 ended with a car smashing through the walls of Enterprise Rent-A-Car along 96th Street on the CarmelIndianapolis border. The Carmel Fire Dept. checked three people for minor injuries. CFD spokesman Tim Griffin said the driver hit an unoccupied car and pushed it into the building. The motorist was not charged, and it appears to be accidental, he said. Building engineers will assess the structure to determine when it will be safe to reopen.

Tree disposal – Carmel residents who wish to dispose of live Christmas trees may leave them next to their trash bins on trash day for pickup. If the trees are taller than eight feet, they must be cut in half.

Hamilton County pulls in most single-family permits news@currentincarmel.com The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis has released the single-family building permits for its nine-county real estate area. Permits rose 13 percent from last year and 21 percent over last month. BAGI announced a rise in numbers for the 12th straight month, a surge last seen in 2007.

Some permit surge is attributed to a “post-election bounce,” according to a press Lains release from BAGI. Permit spikes in Hamilton County experienced a 15 percent increase.

CCHS app unveils the past

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com During the summer, members of the Carmel Clay Historical Society saw hundreds of people walk past history the Carmel Monon Depot Museum on their phones playing Pokemon Go. Now, CCHS plans to use similar technology to create an app to inform the public about Terpening Carmel’s history.

CCHS has teamed with students from Ball State University to create an app that allows people walking along the Monon Trail and other parts of Carmel to see points of interest on a digital map. Users could touch the icon to reveal historic photos of Carmel from that location.

Originally, the app creators thought they would use augmented reality technology similar to that used in Pokemon Go, but it appears that may not be a possibility until phase two of the project.

“It’s such a cool project,” said Virginia Terpening, volunteer with the Carmel Clay Historical Society. “The technology is above my head, but it sounds really neat. It’s just 21st century stuff.”

Some businesses along the Monon Trail and Main Street could display QR codes in the windows to promote the app and direct people to download it. The project will be complete this winter. But a launch will be scheduled for the spring, likely during Founders Week, usually the second week of May. This will allow time to test the app and fix any bugs, and a warm-weather launch seems more condusive for people Morris walking and using it.

“It made no sense to launch in the bitter cold,” Terpening said.

BSU history professor Ronald Morris has led his students to work on this “immersive learning project” that involves computer technology and historical research. Some students involved with the project are computer science majors and others are studying history.

Terpening said photos will be from a variety of time periods where the photos are available, but the most interesting ones to some are the photos after Carmel’s big fire in 1913 along Main Street.

“You show this picture to children and they just gasp,” she said. “We call it the worst year in Carmel history because there’s the fire and the flood all in the same month.”

CHS DECA becomes a district

By Eric Kuznar • news@currentincarmel.com Winning championships and continued growth is a common goal for high school programs around the world. Carmel High School’s DECA chapter has done both. clubs The chapter has become so large and successful that it was named its own district this year. DECA is a worldwide organization that prepares students to make an impact in entrepreneurship, marketing, hospitality and finance.

Chard Reid, CHS DECA advisor and a teacher at the school, said becoming its own district will be a change for the program.

“Our kids are very competitive. They will view it as a competition,” Reid said. “What I don’t like about it is instead of us versus them, it’s kind of an us versus us approach.”

Carmel’s DECA chapter is the seventh-largest in the world. DECA is comprised of 3,500 high school chapters with 215,000 members.

Reid said that Carmel DECA has enjoyed growth and success because of the experiences it gives students. In 2016, Carmel’s DECA

chapter had 21 top 10 finishers in the world.

Jessica Deady, 18, chief marketing officer for Carmel DECA and 2016 world champion, said the experience she has had with DECA has helped prepare her for the future.

“It’s been probably one of the most educational experiences that I could have been provided,” Deady said.

Drew Seketa, president of Carmel DECA, said the chapter has had a positive impact on him and the community.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to make an impact on the community and the school as a whole,” Seketa said.

volunteers needed Because Carmel has become its own chapter, it needs more volunteers to run its district competition. Reid said the chapter has 35 of the 60 volunteers it needs. He said Carmel is looking for volunteers in relevant fields, such as marketing or finance. Volunteers do not need to have a tie to CHS. Learn more and sign up to be a volunteer at carmeldeca.com.

Dinner to ease ‘Cliff School’ trip

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Children in the remote Chinese village of Da-Liang risk their lives daily to get to school.

Their three-hour journey giving back includes climbing a set of nearly-vertical ladders up a mountain to reach the campus.

A local group wants to change that.

“The Indy chapter (of the Sino-USA Next Generation Foundation) is driving a fundraising campaign for the ‘Cliff School’ with a campaign goal of $200,000 to help the village to build a safer way for these kids to go to school, either by a road from the back of the mountain or a ski-lift,” event organizer Jingli Zhang, a Carmel resident, stated in an email.

The fundraiser will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Jan. 8 at 6304 East 82nd St. Cost is $100 per person. The event will include dinner, and guests are asked to register in advance.

“We are planning a 10-course meal of a type many non-Chinese Americans have read about, but never experienced, and which will be a rare treat for local Chinese Americans,” Zhang said.

The event will also include entertainment.

Performances by local volunteers will include Chinese banner and ribbon dances, Lion Danc-

ers, Tai Chi demonstrations and more.

“It will be a wonderful opportunity for cross-cultural sharing for a worthy educational cause,” Zhang said.

SNGF was founded in 2009 by a group of IT professionals, doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs of Chinese background to help poor but high-achieving children in rural China afford, continue and finish secondary education through educational scholarships, Zhang stated.

Students collect toys for nonprofit

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel students donated and wrapped more than 500 toys this month to benefit children at The Julian Center, giving back an Indianapolis nonprofit that assists victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault and their families.

The Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council organized the event and teamed up with The National Junior Honor Society. High school and middle school students helped make it happen.

“As Creekside’s NJHS president in eighth grade, I knew that each middle school chapter was pretty isolated, so I wanted to figure out a way to bring them together and continue outreach to all youth of Carmel, not just high school students,” said Ryan Woock, president of the Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council and a senior at Carmel High School. “Given that it’s the holidays, we figured a toy drive would work well.”

NJHS students at all three middle schools in Carmel ran a toy drive from Nov. 29 to Dec. 8, and then they gathered inside the freshman cafeteria at Carmel High School on Dec. 9 to wrap the toys and write cards to the recipi-

ents. The event included refreshments and holiday games to make it fun for attendees.

Woock said he believes this event will continue year after year.

“To think that this started off as a ‘what if’ and now it’s evolved into a NJHS tradition just proves that when you take the initiative you can really do anything you set your mind to,” Woock said. “It’s tremendously rewarding to have a lasting impact on the community, and I’m excited to see what the council and NJHS can do with it in the coming years.”

Playing against type Commentary by Terry Anker Actors, some say, have a type. The way they look, the way they speak and the way they take the stage all contribute to fashioning a shorthand for the audience – the birthing of a persona. We audiences seem to prefer that these characters align very tightly within our expectations. In sitcoms, we look for the whacky neighbor, like Ethel Mertz in “I Love Lucy.” In drama, we expect to find the wealthy inheritor, too eager to await dad’s death by natural causes. And in professional wrestling, we seek the loathsome cheater – always ready to take advantage of our goodguy hero who is playing yet another role.

If we’re completely honest, don’t we look for types in most situations? There is the woman at the office always planning for the staff parties. And there is the Alpha-male new-hire who is keen to make a name for himself as a hard case. So, are these folks actually one-dimensional, or are we overly willing to assume them to be?

To become a long-playing and working actor, identify a comfortable persona and fill it for a lifetime. In essence, one embraces the role of central-casting player for this “type” of character. Yet, rarely is the move made from supporting performer to a top-billed star. Usually, it is not for lack of trying. Actors often accept roles intentionally to perform against their own type.

But the audience, loving of the compliant actor, lash out at those who wish to expand the kinds of roles they might pursue.

Are they alone? Don’t we find ourselves trapped in our own carefully curated personas, often hoping to be considered different by our peers, more by our employers, and better by our families? Yet, the more we struggle to be seen differently, the more that others resist our desire to self-redefine.

Q U O TE O F THE W EEK Our patience will achieve more than our force.

– Edmund Burke

For the fourth New Year in a row, I’m vowing to curtail my cussing. Not go cold turkey or anything, just ease humor off on the R-rated material.

I’m already anticipating problems, though. One, because I actually like swearing. And two, occasionally I just need the release that only a perfectly lobbed f-bomb can bring.

Let’s be honest. Being a parent requires you to constantly censor yourself. Children are impressionable tattletales who will gleefully rat you out to any neighbor, teacher or priest. Not my kids, mind you.

My darling angels think it’s hilarious when I call someone an a-hole. It’s other peoples’ kids you have to beware. For example, you slam your hand in the minivan door while carpooling to dance. Even though Myth Busters proved that cursing increases pain tolerance, you can’t yell “c%#*s@!*&er,” because Suzie will tell her straight-laced mommy that you have a potty mouth. And then you’re back to driving both ways, all five days. He*& no!

But my youngest is only 12, which means I still have a few more years before I can conceivably speak an unforgivable in front of her friends without the potential of being ratted on. That’s entirely too long to be limited to ineffective “darns” and boring “fudges.” Bottom line? It’s simply not possible, or even healthy, to expurgate my vocabulary.

This is how the crazies on the clock towers are formed. They repress their true feelings for decades and end up sniping passersby.

I don’t want to be a clocktower killer.

I believe it’s better to release the rage in small doses. I also think that when used appropriately and with solid comedic timing, foul language is hilarious (exhibit A: George Carlin). That’s why I love my family and coworkers. They get it. They know that swearing is simply a punch line, a vent, or a colorful way to say you’ve had a hard day.

But I recognize I probably need to take it down a notch. When you come close to using the c-word in church, it’s time to reevaluate! Here’s to a classier 2017! Peace out.

Editor, Although your article showed both sides of the situation, it failed to mention that Indiana already has a law, State Enrolled Act 309 that will go into effect July 1. It applies to homeowners and condo owners who rent their

home using a system like Airbnb. Such temporary rental requires a Retail Merchant License, and they must collect and pay all appropriate taxes (just as a hotel).

Meryl Gorge, Carmel

Don’t regulate Airbnb if it’s not a problem Editor, Thank you for your article on the City of Carmel’s consideration of what to “do” about its citizens renting their homes on occasion through portals such as Airbnb.

It seems the mayor’s inclination is to tax, regulate and outlaw in some combination. This is an itch that does not need scratching. My suggestion is that until there is a good reason to do so, that homeowners should continue to be free to make choices about occasionally letting their homes for a few nights or a week. Until the citizenry proves it cannot be trusted to be responsible and safe, leave them (us) alone. Making a few dollars occasionally off of one’s house (or anything else) does not necessarily render it a “business,” and I’m sure there is ample civil case law to support

that notion.

If local hoteliers are truly being burdened and are losing a lot of business in Hamilton County due to “competition” from homeowners, let them open their books at upcoming public city council meetings (as an aside, why are hotels seemingly being built left and right?).

Hotel owners saying “it’s not fair” does not constitute a “problem.” If the mayor and Carmel City Council truly can’t help themselves and insist upon solving a problem that doesn’t yet exist, I say the reasonable alternative is to authorize and/or empower homeowners associations (without undue influence from the city), which can decide by a vote.

In any event, let’s have more dialogue before kowtowing to the lodging lobby.

Monon, Midtown, more roundabouts among projects to take shape in 2017

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com This will be a booming year for construction in Carmel. Several projects will either be finishing up or just beginning, with a main focus on the Monon Trail and the Midtown area. cover story More than two years ago, developers announced the ambitious project to transform the once-industrial part of Carmel along the Monon between the Carmel Arts & Design District and the Carmel City Center into a multi-building neighborhood with more than $150 million in development. This year, the first buildings will likely be finished. But that’s only part of Carmel’s aggressive year of construction.

midtown After years of announcements, some buildings will be complete in the Midtown neighborhood in Carmel. The Sun King Brewery tasting room and distillery has a fast construction schedule and could open in the fall. Allied Solutions’ new headquarters is scheduled for a late 2017 completion date as well.

monon trail The Monon Trail will become an even more integral part of Carmel this year. New development will be centered around the former railway turned multi-use path, which means the Monon will receive a bit of a makeover. The City of Carmel hired Gehl Studios to conduct a study of the Monon and Range Line Road. Using these suggestions, the city will construct a Monon Boulevard, which includes a wider trail to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, with one-way streets for motorists built on either side. Additional east-west streets also might be built to improve connectivity and create shorter city blocks for walkers, runners and cyclists.

Monon and Main is a mixed-used development that will consist of an upscale steakhouse, offices, retail, townhomes and a park. (File photo)

Lazzarra lot Just North of Midtown, a new parking garage is in the works for a $30 million mixed-use development led by Chuck Lazzara and his son, Anthony. The project, across from Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, includes an upscale steakhouse, retail space, residential units and a public plaza.

range line road On Range Line Road, it’s possible that one of the three driving lanes could be eliminated to allow for wider pedestrian and cycling paths on either side. Street-side parking spots also could be eliminated to allow for more space for paths, but the scope of the project is still up for debate among the Carmel City Council and Mayor’s Office. New roundabouts on Range Line Road will be constructed at 116th Street, City Center Drive, Executive Drive and 4th Street.

PNC Lot

A five-story parking structure with no less than 728 parking spaces and up to approximately 28,000 square feet of retail or office space should be complete in May. The Baldwin/Chambers building, a four-story structure with approximately 64,000 square feet for luxury apartments, retail and office space, will be complete by the end of the year.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has long talked about transforming the lot for PNC Bank at Range Line Road and Main Street into a multi-story, mixed-use development with retail along the street level, and either residential units or office space above.

He said the city has acquired almost all of the property to make the project happen, and he thinks it could start this year.

MORE ROUNDABOUTS Many Carmel motorists were frustrated with the number of roundabouts under construction in 2016, but the roundabout construction schedule is even more intense this year. The biggest – and likely the most disruptive – might be the 96th Street and Keystone Parkway roundabout, a project that could stretch into 2018.

In addition to the Range Line Road roundabouts, the city will begin or complete work on the following roundabouts this year: 1. Guilford Road and City Center Drive 2. Guilford Road and Carmel Drive 3. Carmel Drive and City Center Drive 4. Pennsylvania Street and Carmel Drive 5. AAA Way and Carmel Drive 6. Towne Road and 116th Street 7.

The Warehouse is bringing in acts that include Sara Watkins, Rich Hardesty, John Waite and more. Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will present such shows as “Rumors,” “The Cat in the Hat,” “The Complete Works of Shakespeare,” “The Music Man” and “Seussical.” The Actors Theatre of Indiana will conduct shows that include “Beyond the Rainbow” and “It Shoulda Been You.”

With the Carmel Clay Schools’ seven-year referendum operational tax expiring at the end of 2017, a campaign will begin soon for a new one.

Carmel is among the lowestfunded school districts in Indiana in the amount it receives per pupil from the state. The problem stems from when the state funding formula changed in 2009, which eliminated local property tax support for the general fund.

Wahl CCC Supt. Nicholas Wahl will make the recommendation to the school board in January that the referendum election be held in May. “The recommendation will be to keep the overall education tax rate flat,” Wahl said. “We’re recommending for the operational tax rate a three cent increase, but based upon retiring other debt, it will not increase the overall education rate.”

The referendum rate approved in 2010 was 16 cents at $100 per assessed property value.

“We’re recommending 19 cents but to keep the overall education school tax rate flat,” Wahl said. “So, in other words, if the taxpayer says, ‘How much are my taxes going up for this?’ They’re not, because the referendum is only one component of the overall tax rate. So we’re retiring some of the debt within the tax rate. So the taxes will remain the same.”

Wahl said the referendum is necessary for the district to maintain its high academic standards.

“When they changed (the formula) in 2009 for us to maintain our students’ programs, the thoughtful citizens of Carmel passed the referendum in 2010,” Wahl said. “That referendum pulls in $14.5 million for us, which is the equivalent of 200 teachers.

This goes straight to teaching and learning, the operational dollars.”

In other district news, Wahl said a technology committee, including teachers, administrators, parent focus groups and student focus groups, made a recommendation to move from technology integration to a digital conversion plan, which means the district is integrating more technology into daily instruction to amplify the instruction the teachers are presenting every day in the classroom.

“The devices came about after they identified the best teaching and learning practices,” Wahl said. “So we’ve had the rollout of devices to teachers and increased (their) access to students this year on three different platforms. The teachers have increased access to iPads or Chromebooks or the Microsoft convertible tablet. It’s increased the level of access to devices for the professional development of teachers as well as students. Every teacher has a mobile instructional device. We’ve increased the number of devices in all of our buildings this year on those three platforms as well.”

Upgrades planned for complex

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As president of Indianapolis-based Strategic Capital Partners, Richard Horn’s primary focus is to expand parkwood crossing acquisitions and development in the company’s targeted markets, including Indianapolis.

“We look for properties where we think if there is a vacancy, we can fill it,” Horn said. “If there is a need for expansion, we can solve it.”

Horn, a Carmel resident, joined Strategic Capital Partners in 2012. In August, SCP and Rubenstein Partners teamed to acquire Parkwood Crossing, an eight-building, 1.2-millionsquare-foot office campus in Carmel, just north of 96th Street and Meridian Street, for $162.9 million from Duke Reality.

Duke Realty developed the Parkwood office park between 1989 and 2005. Horn joined Duke in 1984 after graduating from Indiana University Law School. He left Duke in 2002 to form Horn Properties.

“We’re going to upgrade several buildings in terms of their common areas,” Horn said of Parkwood. “We’re going to build an amenities center, subject to everyone’s approval, that is going to have a fitness center, food service

Parkwood Crossing is at 96th and Meridian streets. (Submitted photo)

and conference facilities. We’re going to look at ways to enhance our amenity package and to increase the walkability. Things are changing with various types of development and different types of consumer demand.”

Horn said the plan is to build the amenities center this year.

“What Parkwood still has is an A location, 96th and Meridian, right off I-465,” Horn said.

“We have to make certain investments, and one reason we brought in Rubenstein is because it is willing to make those kinds of investments, because not all office landlords and investors are willing to do that.”

This is one of the largest acquisitions SCP has been involved in, Horn said.

Most salespeople spend their time on prospecting, and it’s no wonder they run out of GAS. The GAS I’m self-improvement talking about isn’t something you get at the pump or from a can. This GAS comes from investing in yourself.

• G – Goals – What are your personal and business goals?

• A – Attitude – What are you doing on a daily basis to improve and enhance your attitude?

• S – Skills – What are you doing on a regular basis to increase your skill set?

This is the exact time of year to reflect on your successes and those areas that could have gone better. The best way to make sure you are ready to improve is to ask some resourceful questions, like the following: What worked in this past year that you want to be sure to repeat? What didn’t work quite like you imagined? What do you need to start doing? What do you need to stop doing?

Take some time and review last year’s calendar. Go back though each appointment and make sure there are no loose ends and that

everything promised has been delivered.

Now is also the time to notice what is on your “toleration list.” Those are the things that you are tolerating now that take mental energy and drain you emotionally. This is the perfect time to either eliminate them or move them to a place where they do not consume so much energy.

Lastly, but I think most importantly, make sure the big things in your life, family, faith, or other things that are really important to you ­ are in your future plans. Once the big things are calendared, it is a sure bet you will do them, and the other things will fall in place.

The formula for success is simple. Set good, smart goals, protect your attitude, and always be sharpening your saw by improving your skills. A word of caution: This formula is simple, but it is not easy. However, I have the utmost faith that you can do it!

Dolls provide hope, help for kids

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Most Monday mornings at Hoosier Village, a senior living community in Zionsville, there is an assembly line of activgiving back ity for a good cause.

A group of 15 female residents get together for 90 minutes to produce small trauma dolls, which are used by hospital nurses to discern how young patients are feeling.

“These are dolls we make from scratch,” resident Ginger Swenson said. “We buy the fabric. We buy the stuffing. We sew around them and create these dolls. We put faces on them. Then we ship them to children’s hospitals around the world.”

Swenson’s husband, Houston, is a member of the Carmel Golden K Kiwanis Club. So was Fred Koberna, who died in November. Fred and his wife, Arlene, were handling distribution of the trauma doll inventory.

“The joy from our retirement home is that we can do things for someone else, because so often people are doing things for us,” said Swenson, a former Carmel resident who has lived in Hoosier Village for six years. “So it’s really a joy.”

Swenson said some women have more skills than others in making the faces.

“I usually do the sewing,” Swenson said.

The activity is a good way for the women to get to know each other.

“This is a big enough community you don’t know everybody’s names, but when you see them week after week in a small group, any

small group, it helps you get to learn their names and get to know them,” Swenson said.

“So it’s been a great social gift as well as the gift of the gifting.”

The group has been making the trauma dolls, which now total approximately 3,200, since July 2013.

“When we’re done, they are distributed to local hospitals like Peyton Manning and Riley, and some are sent to Mexico and other places as well,” Swenson said.

Swenson said this is a national project of the Kiwanis Club. Some of the hospitals prefer to receive the dolls without faces, and the children can do the painting themselves. Children can express their fear or unhappiness by drawing on the doll. Since the doll is soft and squeezable, it can be used for comfort when the child is anxious.

Songbook All-stars return for Carmel show

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

“Being the Songbook Ambassador was a life-changing experience for me,” said Baillio, who had the opportunity to perform for crowds at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and Birdland Jazz Club in her role as ambassador.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2017 Songbook Academy at TheSongbook.org. The academy will take place from July 15 to 22.

“The mission of the Songbook Foundation is so important,” Baillio said. “No one is doing what they are doing. To have found this program and to be a part of it is something I’m so thankful for.”

Baillio is from League City, Texas, and is a student at Marymount Manhattan College.

Before Maddie Baillio made her national TV debut starring in the lead role in NBC’s “Hairspray Live!,” she wowed the judges at the Songbook Academy performance in Carmel.

The 2014 Songbook Youth Ambassador will return to the Palladium Jan. 7 for the inaugural Songbook Academy All-Stars concert. The show will feature performances by all seven ambassadors: Julia Bonnett, Annie Yokom, Nick Ziobro, Julia Goodwin, Baillio, Lucas DeBard and Brighton Thomas.

The all-stars will perform solos, duets and as trios. The show will feature songs from the singers’ original Songbook Academy performances and others representing their careers.

Baillio won the title while a senior in high school. Participants are selected from hundreds of applicants nationwide and have the opportunity to work with Broadway stars and Grammy and Emmy winners as they study Maddie Baillio recently starred as and learn popular music from the early- to Tracy Turnblad in ‘Hairspray Live!’ mid-20th century.

The Songbook Academy All-Stars Concert When: 8 p.m. Jan. 7 Where: The Palladium, 355 City Center Dr., Carmel Cost: $25 to $55 More info: TheCenterPresents.org/tickets

In 1976, 15 musicians came together to play for their own pleasure. From these humble beginnings, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra was born. history Instrumental in the formation was the first director of the group, Viktors Ziedonia, a Latvian immigrant who settled in Carmel and was a violinist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. He directed the first CSO concert in December 1976 with these musical volunteers.

Ziedonia continued as the Carmel orchestra’s leader for its first two seasons. James Edington took over the next three seasons while he continued to teach music lessons.

By 1996, the group had grown into a thriving 65-member orchestra, performing with such guest artists as jazz pianist Peter Nero and the Ramsey Lewis Jazz Quartet. Another highlight of the group’s innovations was its series of programs for children.

The orchestra has since grown to more than 85 musicians with a unique blend of paid musicians and ardent volunteers. More than half of the musicians have been with the orchestra for 15 years or more.

In its early days, the orchestra primarily played in the Carmel High School auditorium. Today, CSO performs at the Palladium Theatre. Adding to its musical resume are performances by such internationally renowned artists as Michael Feinstein, Angela Brown, Cameron Carpenter, Chris Botti, Di Wu, Bernadette Peters, Sylvia McNair, Cheyenne Jackson, Dionne Warwick and more.

Carmel is the smallest Indiana community to have a symphony orchestra.

Broadway concert show returns

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Neil Berg’s “100 Years of Broadway” has been a road fixture since 2006.

However, when he brings his music long-running Broadway concert show to Carmel’s Palladium at 8 p.m. Jan. 21, it will be billed as “101 Years of Broadway.”

“Whenever we come back to a venue, I always add a year,” said Berg, who previously brought his show to the Palladium in October 2013. “It’s just our way of telling people we’ve been there before. We make sure every place we come back to (the show) is fresh.”

Berg said the show has been the No. 1 touring Broadway concert for the last decade, typically featuring five Broadway performers.

The first reason, Berg said, all his singers will perform songs from the actual shows they were in.

“We look at the history of Broadway and have them sing songs they would sing if they were stars from that era,” Berg said. “It’s not just some singer singing some Broadway show tunes.”

Berg serves as musical director, host and plays the piano during the show.

“I basically take people on the journey,”

Neil Berg will present “101 Years of Broadway” show Jan. 21 at the Palladium in Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Berg said. “Being a composer and producer myself and (being) friends with many of these show composers, I get to tell some anecdotes of how the show came to be or how the song was written.”

The one performer returning from the previous Palladium appearance is his wife, Rita Harvey, a soprano who starred in “The Phantom of the Opera” and in a revival of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Danny Zolli, a rock/pop tenor, also will perform at the Palladium. He has starred in more performances of “Jesus Christ Superstar” than anyone else in history.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bath update Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for this master bathroom was to update the aesthetics of the room to fit the owners’ style.

1. The large tub with the bulky surround was removed and replaced with a sleek freestanding tub with dark bronze fixtures.

2. With the large tub surround removed, there was extra space to enlarge the shower. The look of the shower was updated with glass doors and bronze fixtures. The tile used on the floor was continued on of the back of the shower to give a luxurious look.

3. The floor of the shower is tiled with a small wood, like hexagon mosaic tile. The wood-like pattern gives the shower more detail against the dark floors.

4. Both vanities in the bathroom were replaced with new dark cabinets and granite countertops.

Bronze plumbing fixtures were used to maintain continuity.

5. The original tile floor was replaced with a dark brown porcelain tile that visually warms the entire room.

Before Background Info: The owners of this 1990s Geist-area home in the Admirals Point neighborhood were in need of a master bath upgrade. Like so many of these ’90s-era homes, the bathroom was still functional but was completely outdated and no longer fit the personal style of the owners.

Before problems:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/ Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/ blog.

This master bathroom was outdated but was not in need of any functionality adjustments. The efficient bathroom layout simply needed a “pull and replace” remodel.

The Orloj on Prague’s Old Town Hall. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Prague’s Orloj: The march of times Commentary by Don Knebel The Orloj at the southwestern corner of Prague’s Old Town Square is said to be the world’s oldest operating astravel tronomical clock. Labeling this device a clock gives inadequate credit to the accomplishments of its creators.

The heart of the Orloj was constructed in 1410 on the southern wall of Prague’s Old Town Hall by a clockmaker and a Prague astronomy professor. A golden hand at the end of a moving arm points to Roman numerals marking the hours since midnight, the current method of reporting the time. The hand also points to Schwabacher numerals on a rotating ring showing Bohemian time, measured in hours since sunset. A sun moving along the arm crosses lines with Arabic numerals showing the planetary hours since sunrise, a variable unit always measuring 12 hours from sunrise to sunset. The position of the sun along the arm marks the time of sunrise and sunset. The intersection of the sun with a rotating dial determines the Zodiac sign. A star on another moving arm shows sidereal

time, taking into account the Earth’s changing position relative to the stars. A third arm shows the position of the moon, represented by a rotating sphere displaying the moon’s current phase.

Animated figures have been added to the Orloj since 1410 to celebrate the hours. As a skeleton representing Death strikes each hour in the march of time, figures representing Vanity, Greed and Frivolity shake their heads.

Above them, Twelve Apostles march behind two opened doors until a golden rooster crows to signal the end of the hour’s pageantry.

Each hour between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. (on the Roman numerals), hundreds of visitors enjoy the actions of the Orloj’s figures and then walk on, few appreciating the ingenuity behind its time-keeping mechanisms, devised when even astronomers believed the sun traveled around the Earth.
