Mayor expects support for $217M project proposal

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Having won a sixth term for mayor of Carmel, Jim Brainard said he had big plans for 2016 – especially considering he has city council a new city council that is expected to support him.

By any measure, Brainard’s plans are big. $217 million big.

At the first city council meeting of 2016, Jan. 4, the mayor was to introduce a plan to fund various road projects, drainage improvements and new Brainard roundabouts by taking out $217 million in bonds. He also was to propose a tax increase to help pay for them.

One of the biggest projects on the list is transforming the 96th Street and Keystone Avenue intersection into a roundabout, a project that recently missed out on federal funding.

The City of Carmel will finish its 100th roundabout this month, but the project list includes plans for more than 30 more. It also includes widening part of Hazel Dell Parkway, creating a Monon Boulevard, reconstructing part of Guilford Road and 126th Street and undercover relocation of some power lines. Range Line Road would be extended to the Lowes Way connector.

Brainard said some of the projects will be paid for using the County Option Income Tax, or COIT. Some will be paid for by a new storm water fee the previous council approved. Some will be paid for by the various redevelopment funds. And some will be paid for by new property taxes that would need to be approved.

The mayor said the tax increase would be approximately $22 for a $200,000 home. Many homeowners are already at the property tax cap if their home is valued at more than $345,000 and won’t be affected.

Brainard said these project costs do exceed his expected tax revenue but that the city will apply for state and federal funding and will cut back on the projects if funding doesn’t come through.

Three city councilors who often disagreed with the mayor on financial matters have been voted out of office and replaced with mayor-backed

candidates. In all, Brainard saw six of his seven endorsed candidates win their elections, so he feels he has the backing for swift action.

“I’m asking that the council move on this very quickly,” he said. “Keep in mind that there’s interest rate volatility right now. We want to get this to market before the rates go up.”

Rick Sharp, who served as city council president and ran unsuccessfully for mayor, said he’s not surprised by the list of proposed projects and tax increase.

“This is what I was warning people about,” he said. “There’s no way to do everything he wants to do without raising taxes. Yet the mayor told evSharp eryone that I was just trying to scare people.”

Brainard said he’s just giving the voters what they want, but Sharp doesn’t believe that’s necessarily a good strategy.

“Every parent will tell you that you can’t grant every wish, and you at times need to be prudent,” Sharp said.

Sharp said he thinks the 96th and Keystone roundabout interchange project will cost half of the $217 million alone.

Luci Snyder, who also lost a bid for reelection, said she’ll leave it up to the next council to decide if it’s too much money, but she did have a suggestion for spending priorities.

“The 96th and Keystone roundabout should be the first thing you do, and then any other Snyder roundabouts are gravy,” she said.

“There are some places where you need roundabouts and other places where they don’t work.”

Brainard said there’s no way to start these projects without borrowing money. “(Without a bond,) we’d probably never get to most of them,” Brainard said. “The way state law is set up, you aren’t allowed to save up enough to tackle many capital projects. It’s not the way our tax structure is set up in Indiana. If you want to do major road projects this is how you have to do it.”

The Indiana Family Institute and American Family Association of Indiana, two conservative lobbying groups, have ordinance filed a lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of anti-discrimination ordinances in Carmel and Indianapolis that extend protections to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.

The lawsuit claims these laws take away religious freedom and constitutional rights for those that don’t agree with homosexuality or gender identity issues because of their faith. The lawsuit also claims that the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act became troublesome once it was amended to restrict religious objections to local human rights

ordinances.

“Freedom is not a fixed, finite commodity which the legislature reapportions from time to time between and among the now-favored groups,” Indiana Family Institute President Curt Smith said in a statement.

In Carmel, the city council voted 4-3 to pass an anti-discrimination ordinance that seeks to outlaw discrimination in housing, employment and business services for a variety of individuals based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and more.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he doesn’t think these legal challenges will be successful.

“This is an ordinance to protect the rights of everybody,” he said. “This is what America is about, and I can’t imagine that the courts would find the ordinance improper.”

New book study – St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 126th Street and Gray Road, will host a study titled “Improving With Age” based on the book by Stuart and Jill Briscoe. The group will meet weekly from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. or 6:30 to 8 p.m. for eight weeks beginning Jan. 6.

District zoning changes proposed

By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council will soon consider giving the Carmel Redevelopment Commission city news greater control over the design of public infrastructure and structured parking in downtown Carmel.

Currently, the CRC only has architectural design approval authority for the City Center and Old Town zones, but the proposed change would include the Carmel Arts & Design District and the soon-to-be developed Midtown Project, which is between the Arts District and the City Center.

Several zoning changes would accompany this newly created Central Business District, including increasing building height maximums from four stories, or 60 feet, to six stories or 75 feet. There would be a height limit of three stories, or 35 feet, for buildings adjacent to single family homes.

Rules would also be included regarding street lighting, bicycle parking and architectural design.

This map shows areas proposed for rezoning. (submitted image)

Some neighbors have expressed concerns. Beth Meyers, who lives on West Main Street, said she is concerned about how these changes would affect the character of her neighborhood. She said a six-story height maximum is, “extreme and would be detrimental to the quality of life for neighbors and the character of the neighborhood as well.”

Kelly Baskett, who lives on Emerson Road, said Sophia Square is 60 feet high and, “anything taller than that would be completely overbearing.”

Another suggested zoning change would reinstate the second-story building height requirement for Range Line Road. In 2015, that requirement was removed with many pointing to buildings such as the two-story Turkey Hill, KFC and Walgreens as examples of why the two-story rule wasn’t needed. Now, city planners are suggesting that the second-story requirement should return.

The city council is expected to discuss the changes at its Jan. 19 meeting.

CHS debate team advances

By Michelle WIlliams • news@currentincarmel.com A team of three students at Carmel High School has advanced to the Round of 32 in the International Public Policy Forum achievement high school debate competition. Michael Wang, Darren Chang and Katie Long comprise the first team ever from CHS to enter the IPPF competition.

CHS defeated York House School from Vancouver, Canada, to become the only team from Indiana still in the competition. They are now competing against Plano Senior High School from Plano, Texas. The winner is expected to be announced Jan. 26.

By advancing to the Round of 32, CHS remains eligible for an all-expense-paid trip to New York City, where the top eight teams will compete in the IPPF finals Apr. 2 for a grand prize of $10,000.

All teams in all rounds debate this year’s IPPF topic, “Resolved: Genetically modified organisms are essential to global food security.” The CHS team debated the negative in its qualifying round and the affirmative in the Round of 64.

“The overall purpose of these competitions is education. So the idea of forcing people to flip sides is it prevents you from locking yourself into one opinion. It’s not a one-sided issue, so they want you to look at both sides and understand

that there might not be a correct answer,” said Wang, a junior.

“It’s interesting to see what people from other countries think. They focus on different issues than we do, and they look at the issues slightly differently,” he added.

The team’s coach is Harvard University senior Rebecca Chen, although traveling for the Elite 8 round would require the team appoint a coach affiliated with CHS. Wang said the team has considered two CHS educators and plans to approach them if they advance to the top 16.

“When we went into this competition, we were just doing it to try it out,” Wang said. “It would be really amazing if we can make it to NYC.

“Where’s Amy?” … I had the opportunity to meet and chat with Jim Brickman before he gave a performance of a lifetime at the Palladium. A handful of lucky fans had the chance to meet him before his amazing sold out “Comfort & Joy Tour” concert. Brickman showcased new music, along with holiday favorites and the hits that made him the most-charted (30) Billboard Adult Contemporary artist, earning him two Grammy nods and four gold albums. The live holiday concert also included special guests Anne Cochran and Tracy Silverman. Cochran and Brickman went to high school together and had the audience in stitches with their wit and charm. Silverman played an electrifying six-string violin version of a Led Zeppelin Christmas Mix that brought the guests to their feet. The best part of the magical evening was when Brickman invited the Carmel Ambassador Show Choir on stage for a few songs that blew the crowd away. Everyone in the audience cheered and sang along throughout the concert while being reminded of what we cherish during the most wonderful time of the year … togetherness.

Bop to the Top to benefit Riley

By Heather Lusk • news@currentincarmel.com It’s 36 floors, 780 steps and 500 feet straight up. The 33rd annual Bop to the Top stair climb returns Jan. 16 fundraiser to raise money for Riley Children’s Hospital.

Over the past three decades the event created and organized by Zionsville-based Tuxedo Brothers - has helped raised more than half a million dollars for Riley Hospital for Children.

Taking an average of eight minutes to complete, more than 1,200 people each year run up one of the two One America Building staircases. Every 20 to 30 seconds, participants will be given the green light to start, racing their way to the top then taking the elevator back down.

“We do a lot of youth groups up to 80 plus,” Tuxedo Brothers president Don Carr said. One of the youngest participants over the years was Carr’s son when he was four years old.

“It took him about 12 or 13 minutes (to finish),” Carr said.

Registration is now open at tuxbro.com for individuals or teams, through which Carr hopes to raise $15,000 this year for Riley.

“Once you register you can add extra pledg-

es if you’d like,” Carr said.

Over the past three decades, scores of celebrities have participated, including WTHR reporters Anne Marie Tiernon and Steve Jefferson, former WRTV reporter Stacia Matthews, body builder Andre Crayton, Colts long snapper Matt Overton and groups of firefighters wearing full gear.

The funds raised for Riley will benefit three categories: pediatric research and patient care, maternity and newborn health and family support programs.

Running for donuts

The Donut 5K returned to Carmel Dec. 19 in Central Park. Participants enjoyed donuts and hot chocolate after crossing the finish line, and the top finishers took home cash prizes. Organizers collected pet food, blankets and toys to donate to the Humane Society for Hamilton Co., German Shepherd Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care & Control.

CHS student-run radio station seeking to be state’s best

By Anna Skinner • mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel High School offers its students something that most other high schools can’t: a completely student-run education radio station.

And, in addition to offering the WHJE 91.3 FM radio station, the students involved compete yearly in the Indiana Association of School Broadcasters, an event that takes place at the University of Indianapolis each March.

Jack Kizer, a CHS senior and sports director for WHJE, said the team is working together to regain the top spot at the IASB competition.

Last year, they placed second behind Franklin High School for the Best Run Student Station, but two years previous they placed first.

“The station as a whole is really great. Our program at a high school level is very similar to college and professional levels,” Kizer said. “It’s completely student-run, so we do everything from organizing music to making promotions.”

The station broadcasts music, promotions, public service announcements, news and CHS sports. The station can be heard as far south as northern Indianapolis and as far east as Fishers, but Kizer said the span doesn’t advance much beyond that.

“Since we got second place as a whole radio station, we are trying to improve our communication processes,” Kizer said. “Our teacher is giving us ways to improve different pieces of work like different technical stuff. Whatever work we feel is best, we submit to (IASB).”

Upwards of 100 high schools compete at IASB each year.

In addition to WHJE placing second as a radio station, Kizer individually placed second in the Sporting Event Broadcast category at IASB as a sideline reporter.

“I’m the sports director, so I organize all sports broadcasts,” Kizer said. “We have a sports talk show, and we really try to be as professional as possible in everything we do.

We bring people in for interviews all the time.”

CHS grad Jer Lile helps release late uncle’s songs

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The tragic turn his uncle’s life took has long perplexed Jer Lile.

So he began a quest cover story to learn why his uncle Denny died from complications of alcoholism at age 44 in 1995.

“My motivation was to fill in the pieces of the story that I didn’t have,” Lile said.

Lile, a 1993 graduate of Carmel High School, said he had to know how Denny let it all slip away despite his singing and songwriting talents and a family that loved him.

“Like he did, I have a wife and daughter, and I can’t think of any kind of darkness that would keep me from them,” said Lile, 40. “He was just sick. Whatever he couldn’t get past must have been really terrifying.”

Denny would drink one quart to one gallon of whiskey each day.

Lile, who owns de Lisle Guitar Company, said he had not seen his uncle in several years when he died. His father, Dwight, only had occasional contact with his brother.

Now Lile, who played in bands until he was 20, is hoping his uncle’s songs will reach a broader audience.

The self-titled album was released in 1972.

Never properly promoted, the album languished in obscurity.

“It was a small independent label, and they didn’t back it. Denny had some issues with the guy (Ray Allen) who owned it,” Lile said.

Lile said his uncle, who lived in Louisville, Ky., went to court in the 1980s to get the rights to the music but wasn’t successful.

“He wouldn’t give him the tapes back, and he wouldn’t do anything with them either,” Lile said.

Finally, Allen sold the rights to Marvin Maxwell, who played drums on the album.

Denny’s music has come alive again, as his 1972 album has been reissued. The new release includes the 11 original songs and five previously unreleased songs found on Denny’s tapes. Lile also made a documentary on his uncle’s life to accompany it. “Hear the Bang: The Life & Music of Denny Lile” was released

by Big Legal Mess Records in mid-October.

Lile’s friend, Justin Kinkel-Schuster, a singer for Water Liars, fell in love with Denny’s album and sent it to Bruce Watson, who owns Big Legal Mess and co-owns Fat Possum Records.

“Maybe in death he can do what he (couldn’t) do in life,” Dwight said.

Jer Lile performs at a show celebrating the release of his documentary and his uncle’s album in Louisville, Ky.

Jer Lile hugs his cousin and Denny Lile’s daughter, Michele Pelton, after she presented him with Denny’s handwritten lyric book at the end of a show celebrating the release of the album and documentary. (Submitted photos)

The DVD includes Denny’s version of “Fallin’ Out,” a song Denny wrote that was recorded by Waylon Jennings. It reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1987.

“By that time, he was already in a hole he couldn’t get out of,” Lile said of his uncle’s alcohol problems. “He ended up being homeless, living out of his van that he bought from the royalties he got from the song.” He was eventually found dead in that van.

Lile worked on the documentary for nearly two years and was able to reconnect with Denny’s ex-wife and his daughter, Michele.

Denny’s alcoholism led to a divorce in 1989.

“They had lost touch with him, too, in the early ’90s,” Lile said. “He kind of pushed everyone away.”

Critics have compared his voice to Jim Croce, James Taylor and John Denver.

“It’s kind of a folk-country style or Americana they call it now,” Lile said. “He has a unique sound and quality to his voice. He was underexposed. He didn’t try to sell himself. He was like, ‘I want to play music, and if something happens, it happens,’ He wasn’t pushing for stardom.”

Lile said the album is being distributed nationally by Fat Possum.

“It’s the best shot he got,” Lile said. “Unfortunately, it’s 20 years too late.”

Dwight, who owns Zionsville Autosport, confessed he became emotional when viewing the documentary.

“Jer presented Dennis probably in his best light, and there was a big sense of loss of what might have been,” Dwight said. “The world lost a very talented musician. You can hear the soulfulness, the remorse, the pain.”

“Hear the Bang: The Life and Music of Denny Lile” was recently released.

Meet Jer Lile • Personal: Lile and his wife, Val, have a 7-year-old daughter, Sophie. He named his shop, de Lisle Guitar Company, so it wouldn’t be confused with Lyle Guitars. Lile makes guitars, amplifiers, guitar pedals and does repairs.

• Favorite Denny Lile song: “If I Had My Way, It’d Rain.”

• On Denny’s album: “There are probably four albums I could listen to over and over again, and that’s one of them for me.” The others are The Black Crowes’ “Southern Harmony and Musical Companion,” Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and Water Liars’ “Wyoming.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Rezone meeting will be telling There is a rezoning meeting scheduled for Jan. 19 at Carmel City Hall, and the decisions that eventually come out of it, we believe, will change the face of what we call the Arts & Design District forever. That’s not a bad thing.

Mayor Jim Brainard has a widely focused vision for how to continue our city’s incredible transformation, and we see this as a logical next step. There has been talk of creating green space adjacent to Main Street and Range Line Road, as well as discussion of doing something akin to the Midtown project to the north and putting utility lines underground. As business owners in the heart of it all, we will welcome all the additional knowledge we can gain, and so it will be interesting to learn all of the details at the meeting. For more, visit carmel.in.gov.

Last we checked, this liberalism-intoxicated candidate should be going after Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) if he wants to gain the Democratic Party’s nomination for the November general election. There clearly is a load of fodder there, were he to avail himself of it.

Safe passage Commentary by Terry Anker So, Old Man Time has surrendered. Baby New Year has ascended to the throne.

Another year has come; and, yes, still one more has gone. In medieval Europe, a crier would announce the end of reign for one king by declaring his death with the proclamation of the emergence of the following: “The King is dead. Long live the King!”

As a youngster fascinated with stories of Arthur and the chivalrous knights of the round table, the concept flummoxed me.

How could we celebrate the end of one leader with the inauguration of another?

Perhaps it is the wisdom of advancing age, but it makes a bit more sense now.

They were not “rejoicing” in the demise but instead in the peaceful transition from one leader to the next. The crier was reassuring the people of kingdom that, in spite of the loss, we could expect safe and steady passage.

We knew what we had. It may not have been perfect, but we understood and found

comfort there. The future, whether we are optimists or pessimists, is always a bit less clear. What can we expect in this new and unknown year to come? Will it improve our lives and be remembered as the rule of a tremendous and benevolent time? Or, will it challenge us with heartbreak and hardship, only to bring our disdain and ache for its quick passage? Who knows? But, the proclamation has come. The year is gone.

Long live the New Year. In it we invest our hopes, loyalty and good wishes. In it, we pray for joy over sadness, health over infirmity and prosperity over poverty.

All that can be affirmatively claimed is that we have been securely conveyed into the New Year. And, as it presents its opportunities and challenges, they are ours to confront.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

– Andrew Carnegie

I made it! I survived the Christmas madness in one piece, and there was only one moment when I thought I might go Cherhumor nobyl on the fam. Low expectations, my friends. I planned for the worst and was pleasantly surprised by the results. With that thought in mind, here are my 2016 resolutions.

1. Write an article about New Year’s resolutions. I bailed on this last year because of the pressure such a list creates. But look at me now! One NYR done!

2. I’ve mentioned a few times that I’d like to attempt a Half Ironman, but that’s just crazy talk. So my underachieving goal for this year will be to beat my brother-in-law in any race, preferably a 2K walk. I’m gunning for you, Scotty J.!

3. I’d like to be less insane about my bedtime. Santa was nice enough to bring me sleeper headphones, a cotton band with embedded soft speakers. I should be able to plug directly into a “Sounds of Nature” meditation playlist and never again hear my children or husband as they annoyingly stomp around downstairs pressing microwave buttons and slamming cabinet doors. I’m not expecting a miracle, so I’ll back everything up with a mask, sound machine and my patented pillow-burrowing maneuver.

God rest ye merry mother.

4. I’ve fallen in to a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to write this column. Somehow the weekly missive continues to tank on the priority list, especially when pit against dance competitions and bathroom breaks. Therefore, in 2016, I pledge to at least begin writing two days prior to my deadline. Seeing as this particular piece is being composed 24-hours post, I’m going to lower my goal to one day. Wish me luck.

5. And finally, for this upcoming New Year, I hope to get on board with a family budget. Maybe it’s my recent holiday spending spree, but my financial anxiety has skyrocketed over the past month.

No. More. Wire. Transfers. EVER! Happy New Year! I’d encourage you to lower all expectations to make 2016 one big pleasant surprise. Peace out!

A few roundabout points to consider Editor, Roundabouts seem to serve the additional purpose of identifying impaired drivers, and inattentive drivers! There are some points that need to be considered while we engage in the addition of many more roundabout projects: • There are already too many different designs of roundabouts. It would have been better if we had stuck with a smaller number of different types as visitors can become confused.

• The outside curbs should be changed from their present wheel-destroying

• Experienced & attentive staff • Customized care plans • Safe, residential environment

vertical edges to ones that are more moderate in angle. Certainly that will disappoint the companies who sell replacement tires and wheels, but curbs would be less damaging.

• The signage should be consistent, noting in advance what the cross street will be and what lane to occupy further preceding the roundabouts.

• The roundabout marking at Main Street and Illinois puzzles those going from eastbound Main Street to northbound Illinois.

Student art can educate all Editor, Art has always been enjoyed and created by diverse people of all ages and talents throughout the centuries. Teaching students how to create art is not limited to teaching skills and techniques for each medium; it also includes teaching students how to think, how to express and how to appreciate.

Carmel High School is fortunate to have art teachers, led by a wonderful department chair, Jen Bubp, who share this vision and knowledge with a variety of talented students. The vision of the CHS art department is to honor all artists and their achievements regardless of their skill level and mental/emotional/physical abilities.

The school has always taken pride in being the “best of the best” in academics, athletics, and the arts. Sometimes, highlighting only the best of the best can result in unintentionally overlooking amazing insights and talents of students who do not always take center

stage for their hard work, talent and artistic results. Therefore, the art department is intentionally expanding their focus of not only celebrating students with flawless technical, artistic abilities, but also celebrating the power of the stories which all students convey.

The CHS art department offers opportunities for all art students to find success, value and meaning in what they create.

If the saying, “Art is not about drawing, it is about learning how to see,” is true, then learning how to see the world through the eyes of students with varying backgrounds and abilities will expand our own appreciation of what art can be. As Jen Bubp has shared, “Sometimes the student is the best teacher.” Each of our three children have thoroughly enjoyed the Carmel High art program and continue to draw and paint. Don’t miss out on viewing art by current, past and future students.

Lyle Liecht, Carmel

Gun violence victims deserve more Editor, I am tired of hearing people say what a shame gun deaths are, as if we are powerless to stop this scourge on our communities. I am tired of the inevitable discussion of safety versus constitutional rights, as if the two cannot coexist.

As a parent of two small children and a member of the Indiana chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, I know the victims of gun violence deserve more than sympathy or academic debate. They deserve action.

There are sensible solutions we can undertake to curb gun violence and uphold our Second Amendment rights. In the 18 states that require criminal background checks for all gun

sales, gun violence is significantly reduced for many groups.

Despite these statistics, many states, including Indiana, refuse to enact sensible gun laws. Did you know that in Indiana, individuals can legally purchase a gun without any kind of background check?

Opponents will say that universal background checks won’t fix the problem – that the cost of action is too steep. Yet for years now, we have all been paying the price of inaction related to gun violence. Isn’t it time for us to do something?

Two veteran actors play seven roles in ‘The Mystery of Irma Vep’

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com

Rob Johansen, left, and Marcus Truschinski. (Photo by Zach Dunkin)

Rob Johansen and Marcus Truschinski say they are ready for “The Mystery of Irma Vep.” Is the audience at Indiana Repertory Theatre ready for Johansen and Truschinski?

The two veteran actors will play seven theater different characters, including a lovable werewolf and an Egyptian mummy, in Charles Ludham’s campy play Jan. 12 through Feb. 14 on the IRT’s Upperstage The duo will complete more than 30 quickchange costume transformations, designed by IRT Costume Shop Manager Guy Clark.

“It’s a simple matter of mathematics,” explained IRT playwright-in-residence James Still, who is directing the play.

“When you go back stage and they put you in that particular costume, you know who you are supposed to be.”

Truschinski says the actor’s mind is constantly switching back and forth, character to character to character.

“It’s like the high-wire act that we all want to do as actors,” said Truschinski, who jumped at the chance to reprise a role he had not done since college. “You are going without a net, and when you fall, you fall off badly.”

Is there the occasional misstep in lines? Of course, Johansen said.

“Part of the fun for an audience is recognizing that mistake and saying, ‘I think they screwed up there,’” he said.

“But if something goes wrong, you can go ‘Oh, no!’ or you can go ‘This could be fun.’ Often, if there is a hiccup, that can be an opportunity for something wonderful.”

Part satire, part comedy, part horror, the two-hour play is set in Mandacrest, England, the home of Lord Edgar, an Egyptologist, and Lady Enid, his second wife. Lord Edgar has not recovered from the passing of his first wife, Irma Vep. He blames a werewolf for the death of Irma, who is later discovered by Enid (also attacked by a vampire) locked away in a cell. What follows is an expedition to Egypt in search of the secrets of immortality and a series of hysterical revelations.

In addition to playing Lady Enid, Johanson plays a groundskeeper/werewolf named Nicodemus Underwood, Lord Edgar’s Egyptian guide Alcazar and Egyptian princess Pev Amri,

while Truschinski portrays Lord Edgar, the saucy housemaid Jane Twisden and an intruder.

In order to ensure cross-dressing, licenses to perform this play include a stipulation that the actors must be of the same sex. The show requires a large number of sound cues, props, special effects and quick costume changes. With the help of costumes held together with Velcro and magnets, two dressers will make the magic happen backstage.

“Some of the changes will happen in less than 15 seconds,” Trushchinski said. “You go off stage through one door as one character, come to a station where they rip everything off to a costume underneath, or they put something else on you and then you walk back through another door as another character.”

Truschinski is a full-time actor at the American Players Theatre near his home town of Spring Green, Wis. IRT visitors may recall his role as Sherlock Holmes in last season’s “The Hound of Baskervilles.” Indianapolis resident Johansen teaches acting in the Dept. of Theater and Drama at IUPUI and has appeared in 42 roles at the IRT over the past 20 years.

Truschinski actually has done “Irma Vep” as an undergrad student studying theater 15 years ago at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Although Johansen has never done “Irma Vep,” he has played multiple characters as one of the Clowns in “39 Steps” at the IRT in 2011.

“There are about 60 characters in that one, with only four people in the cast,” Johansen said. “One man plays the leading man, a woman plays three or four roles, then the two clowns play everybody else. I feel like this (“Irma Vep”) is of a similar ilk; it’s like ‘39 Steps’ without the two leading people – just two idiot clowns like us running around.”

“The most fun part about the play for me is that it is live,” Truschinski said. “It is happening. Now.”

Semi-Homemade Super Bowl Food

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Counterprograming is what it’s called when TV networks try to steal some of the broadcast audience from a giant event like the Super Bowl. If 2016 is like the previous few years it would take nothing less than the latest Star Wars movie to have the force to affect the viewer numbers for the football extravaganza.

Our advice for Super Bowl season is to not fight it, but join in.

When planning food for such a gathering, it would be a great mistake to try to remake yourself into a Cordon Bleu chef. If you do, you’ll only have your feelings hurt when guests pick up food and leave the area to eat it in front of a television. If your food is good and plentiful you only receive compliments when people return to your buffet table for more helpings, when they depart for the night, or in a rare thank you note. So how can you avoid the chef work and still have good food?

There is a Food Network show called “Semi Homemade” that is successful because the host, Sandra Lee, shows how to take readymade foods and combine them with your own touch to make them delicious and affordable.

Here are a couple ready-made dishes that can be baked in the oven and served with special sauces that will have your guests returning to your buffet more than once.

One of our easy, delicious choices is Jim Beam Boneless Breaded Chicken Wyngz with Honey Bourbon Sauce. You bake these chicken tenders in the oven and then sauce and serve them. Use toothpicks and have extra sauce for additional dipping. Our second great semi-

homemade dish comes from Johnsonville and it’s called Party Meatballs. These are also baked in the oven and then simmered in a neat hot/sweet sauce. Then they are served on toothpicks with extra sauce for dipping.

Sauce Ingredients: • 1 package (24 ounces) frozen Johnsonville Italian, Three-Cheese Italian • Meatballs • 1 12oz. can jellied cranberry sauce.

• 1 12oz. bottle chili sauce Preparation: In a large saucepan, combine cranberry and chili sauces and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Add baked meatballs, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Watch your guests enjoy!

Last spring, volunteers from the RussianAmerican Culture and Education Center and School in Carmel held a fundraising festival brimming with ethnic food, culture arts and crafts by Russian artisans, Russian music, ballet and folk dance. Organizers were expecting no more than 400 to 500 people. Three times that amount showed up.

“We ran out of food … we ran out of items to sell … it was very hectic,” said Natalia Rekhter, the center’s executive director. “We didn’t know what we were doing, but we made a little money, and it was very successful” It was so successful that people began flooding Rekhter with requests to hold, not only another festival in the spring, but an

“So, we decided to do a Winter Ball,” Rekhter said. “And we still don’t know what we are doing! But we’re all very passionate and excited about it.”

Money raised will go to expanding education offerings at the school and “to a program to help people to integrate into a U.S. life better,” said Rekhter.

Project Trio expands on genres

IRT receives $30K for show

By Zach Dunkin news@currentincarmel.com

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com Classical music magazine Gramophone described Project Trio’s music as “nu-metal.” A review in “The Wall Street Journal” praised the threesome for its “subversive humor.” A review in “The music New York Times” said they “are the best in the world at what they do.”

Presenting instrumental classical music fused with hip-hop, jazz-rock and pop, Project Trio is genrebending. This is not your grandmother’s classical music.

“It’s very high energy chamber music,” explained flutist Greg Pattillo, whose “beat box” style of playing helped catapult the trio into international YouTube fame (see www.projectgtrio.com). “We’re just three guys who play the flute, the cello and the double bass, and we play those instruments to the max. We get everything out of them we can.

So, get ready to rock.”

Project Trio is Pattillo on flute, Peter Seymour on double bass and Eric Stephenson on cello. Based in Brooklyn, N.Y., the three musicians were trained in classical music at the Cleveland Musical Institute and formed their trio in Boulder, Colo., in 2005.

Supported partially by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the trio is making a three-day residency at the Center for the Performing Arts. Its visit will include three public

performances – 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7 in The Studio and 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Jan. 9 in the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.

The trio is dedicated to arts education, teaching the art and joy of jamming on classical instruments and opening minds to what instruments can do. They have performed and led workshops for more than 350,000 students on four continents.

The trio’s Jan. 9 performances at the Tarkington will carry a powerful anti-bullying message, including a performance of the classic story of “Peter & the Wolf,” albeit with a twist.

“As the state’s leading professional theatre, it’s important for the IRT to bring fresh perspectives to Indiana’s bicentennial,” said Michael Harrington, The Indiana Repertory Theater has headed into the New Year with an extra board chairman. “I am proud that the IRT will be showcasing the work of so $30,000 to apply recognition to a new theater many writers from across the state, representing the voices of many Hoowork being cresiers across our history.” ated for next season.

Start good eating habits early Commentary by Andy Dillingham, DO Helping your children establish (and hopefully maintain) good eating habits means starting early, introducing nutritious foods, Family modeling good eating behavior and maintaining a home environment that reinforces a healthy lifestyle.

When it comes to healthy eating, it is important to recognize there are a wide range of parenting styles and many acceptable ways to help kids get the nutrition they need and provide motivation to make good choices. The key is to find what works for your family and to foster an environment where your children have access to healthy foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.

It is critical that mealtime not be a struggle for the parent or the child. It is a parent’s job to provide a healthy (and hopefully delicious) meal. It is a child’s choice whether to eat it.

The most important thing is to continue offering healthy alternatives, encouragement and reasons why eating a variety of healthy foods will help him or her grow up to be healthy

and strong. When parents start introducing healthy foods early, children are more likely to accept them. Other strategies include eating meals together as a family and serving as a good role model when snacking at home and when ordering at restaurants. If your child sees you making good choices, he or she is likely to follow your lead. Children that embrace healthy habits at a young age are more likely to continue them into adulthood.

Given the wealth of information on raising children (both good and bad) at our fingertips, it is important to use reliable resources.

Hand & Stone Massage now open

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It seemed natural for Heather and Richard Sanchez to have a business related to the health care industry.

After all, Heather is a new biz physical therapist at Riverview Health and Richard is radiologist in Marion.

The Noblesville residents are the owners of the Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, which has opened at 14405 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel. The Hand & Stone spa, which will have 15 full and part-time employees, is the first one in Indiana.

“Bringing this concept to Carmel was important to us,” Heather said.

There are about 270 Hand & Stone Massage stores in the U.S. and Canada.

“I think massage in general is very therapeutic,” Heather said. “It’s becoming more of a mainstream way to treat ailments that people aren’t finding benefit from in their mainstream medicine, such as their doctor or different medical treatments. Massages are both healing and just something people are doing for relaxation. Now it’s just a part of their lifestyle.

The spa had a soft opening Dec. 19. Their holiday discounted gift card sales running

through the season. The grand opening will be Jan. 9 and 10.

Heather said the spa will provide a variety of relaxing massages, including Swedish, deep tissue, sports, hot stone and trigger point massages.

“I’ve been a physical therapist over 15 years, and I’ve seen it work,” Heather said. “I think massage is integral to many people’s health and well-being, psychologically as well as physically.”

The spa also offers microdermabrasion, a procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial of dry, dead skin cells.

The Art Lab moving to Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Carmel resident Maren Bell, the Carmel Arts & Design District is the perfect spot to move her business.

“As artists, it’s great to be new biz in a dynamic area,” said Bell, whose business partner is Jeremy South.

“They have the gallery walks on the second Saturdays (of the month). The Carmel Arts & Design District provides many great ways people can come and experience art.”

The Art Lab will move from 2070 E. 54th St. in Indianapolis to 31 E. Main St. in Carmel by mid-January. The Art Lab will be on the third floor of the building where Agave Bar & Grill is on the first floor.

“That street tends to have a lot of walking traffic, which is great,” Bell said. “Even though we’re on the third floor and do a lot of appointment-based events, it’s still great to be in on a dynamic, busy street.”

Bell, primarily a painter, said a grand opening is planned for March 12. South, who lives in Broad Ripple, is a potter.

“One thing I like is that there are not a lot of art centers in Carmel, so we’ll be able to fill a need,” Bell said. “There’s not of lot of pottery classes and introductory classes. We mainly teach introductory art experiences.”

Bell said the business also conducts Girl Scout events and birthday parties, among others.

“I teach all kind of things,” said Bell, who is art teacher at a parochial school in

Counterfeit advisory – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is advising local merchants and residents to be on the lookout for counterfeit currency being distributed in the area. The counterfeit bills may be difficult to notice as they are printed on real currency that has been bleached and reprinted. Due to this, marking pens may not detect the counterfeit. If you suspect you have received a counterfeit bill, contact law enforcement immediately at 773-1282 to file a report.

THANK YOU for a great 2015!

I appreciate all of your referrals and for allowing me to have another great year!

Dispatches What to do with your holiday bonus – It might go without saying that a little extra cash flow at the holidays is welcome. But what’s a responsible way to handle the extra money and not blow it all at once? One idea is to divvy it up into thirds. Use one third for the past (such as paying off a debt), one third for the future (such as in savings or an investment) and one third for the present (a fun purchase or home improvement project). This system can be applied to any “extra” money you might receive, well beyond the holidays. Source: Reader’s Digest

Networking event at District Tap – Who are you?

It is a simple question that can be hard to answer. It goes beyond your name, where you were born, where you live, where you work, or who you are related to. Every person is a synergistic entity whose very being is a complex construction of experiences, personality, aspirations and achievements. It takes a closer look at yourself to sometimes uncover the very essence of who you are. Come to a networking event on Feb. 18 for a better idea of your deeper self. A few hours of answering questions about yourself and asking questions about others around you will help you start to bring who you are into focus. You may even surprise yourself with what you learn. Event is hosted by Network After Work. To RSVP visit eventbrite.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating a magazine-worthy basement Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a magazine-worthy basement for entertaining with Western style.

1. A large booth was crafted near the pool table as a built-in seating space for guest entertainment.

2. A new bar with reclaimed wood and accent lighting added an additional area for the family and guests to socialize.

3. The new stone fireplace with a mounted TV above, serves as a focal point at the end of the space.

4. The separate workout space was finished to match the rest of the basement style.

5. Finishing touches such as the sliding barn door, industrial light fixtures, and new cabinetry increased functionality.

6. The rustic ceiling treatment, wood flooring, and painted trim finished the Western basement perfectly.

Before Background Info: Located in the Woods at Lions Creek neighborhood in Carmel, this home was built in 2013. For these West-originating homeowners, the basement wasn’t quite feeling like home yet.

Before problems: This previously typical basement lacked the exciting and functional space the homeowners wished for, with the same Western finesse as they were accustomed to in their former hometown. Their basement needed to be more efficiently space-planned, while also adding some cozy finishing touches.

Interior of Pantheon in Rome (Photo by Don Knebel)

Rome’s heavenly dome Commentary by Don Knebel The largest unreinforced dome in the world is also the oldest. Most Americans unknowingly see the lasting influence of travel this extraordinary achievement of Roman architects every day.

In about 126 A.D., Roman Emperor Hadrian completed a temple on the spot where tradition said Romulus, Rome’s mythical founder, had ascended to the heavens, the domain of the gods. The building comprised a dometopped cylindrical rotunda entered through a colonnaded Greek-style portico. The 142-foot diameter of the spherically-shaped dome duplicated its height, so if the dome were turned upside down, its top would touch the floor.

The self-supporting dome was made entirely of concrete, decreasing in both thickness and density further toward the top. The apex of the dome was open, creating a 27-foot diameter oculus ringed in bronze.

Hadrian named the temple “Pantheon,” meaning “all the gods.” The underside of the dome symbolized the heavens. Light streaming through the oculus on sunny days progressed around the polished marble interior.

Drain pipes along the perimeter of the floor collected rainwater falling through the oculus.

Niches along the curved walls held statues of Roman gods and emperors.

Brunelleschi, who designed the famous dome of the Florence Cathedral in the 15th century, was inspired by the Pantheon, which had become a church in 609. But the secrets of the Pantheon’s design had long been forgotten, so Brunelleschi was forced to use reinforcing chains in his similarly-sized dome. When Michelangelo saw the Pantheon in about 1500, its unreinforced dome still intact, he declared its design the work of angels.

Michelangelo and Brunelleschi were not alone in admiring Rome’s Pantheon. Thomas Jefferson mimicked its design for the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. The Pantheon also inspired the domed center section of Jefferson’s home at Monticello, which has been on the reverse of all nickels since 1938.

One of those days?
