Q&A: Mayor explains proposed zoning changes

I think there are two rental houses next to Sophia Square. I wouldn’t want to predict the future, but Sophia Square is not particularly high. Again, it’s lower urban density and that’s worked out very nicely. We might have other blocks of Main Street that are of that height.

But it wouldn’t be next to single story houses?

Well, we might see (something the size of Sophia Square) at the proposed PNC site (a mixed use development on the parking lot at Main Street and Range Line Road with a new home for the bank), and there are single-story homes next to that on the north side. So there very likely could be a taller building there. But sometimes you could build a single-story house and it’s 30 feet tall, so we’re not talking about a huge difference. Sophia Square is not right next to any other buildings. There’s a buffer since it’s across the street.

Can you explain why you think there should be a requirement for taller buildings along Range Line Road?

I think it should be higher than two stories.

We have a tremendous amount invested in that area. It’s in many ways a main street through the commercial district of Carmel, and to put one-story buildings doesn’t provide enough tax revenue to maintain the road and the police and the fire to serve that area. Again, it should probably be a three-to-four-story height requirement along that road. Two to start.

City could borrow $42m to address flooding issues

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Westfield are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

Heavy rainstorms pummeled the Midwest during the recent holiday season, causing flight delays and property infrastructure damage throughout.

In Carmel, it led to the familiar sight of flooding on some older streets, such as Emerson Road near the Carmel Arts & Design District.

But now the Carmel City Council is looking to borrow $42 million to address flooding citywide.

In July 2014, the Carmel City Council passed an ordinance to establish a storm-water utility that would assess a $5 a fee to all households and then use that money for improving drainage – nothing else.

The city council appointed itself as the board to manage this new utility, which was expected to bring in approximately $3 million in annual revenue, nearly enough for one major stormwater project each year, depending on size and scope. Recently, the council handed control of the utility to the Board of Public Works.

More than a year later, some residents say they haven’t noticed much improvement.

Project Component

Cost

Road reconstructed storm sewers

$18 million

Small structure replacement program

$12 million

Small structure and culvert lining

$2 million

Range Line Road drainage improvements

$500,000

Foster Estates detention

Subdivision drainage improvements (includes Jordan Woodlands, Concord Village, Carmel Meadows, Harrowgate, Cedar Pointe, Green Tree Estates, Crooked Stick and Crooked Stick West, Wilson Village, Carmel View, Village of Mount Carmel, Ironwood)

$4 million

Old Town drainage improvements Other expenses Total Estimated Cost

$600,000 $4.5 million $42 million

Bruce Kimball, a newly elected city councilor who represents the Emerson Road area, said he’s spoken with some of those residents, and he believes help is on the way. That’s because

$42 million in drainage improvements are included in Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s new proposal for more than $200 million in projects he announced just before Christmas.

Brainard plans to tackle storm-water infrastructure projects in Foster Estate and Old Town Carmel and along Range Line Road. There are also plans to make drainage improvements in subdivisions that include Carmel Meadows, Carmel View, Cedar Pointe, Concord Village, Crooked Stick, Crooked Stick West, Green Tea Estates, Harrowgate, Ironwood, Jordan Woodlands, Village of Mount Carmel and Wilson Village.

Kimball said he expects quick action because Brainard has proposed using a bond to start on these projects and then using the annual revenue Kimball from the city’s stormwater fee to repay that bond. That way, multiple projects can be addressed immediately.

“Since there’s a stable revenue stream with the stormwater fee, using a bond to start on these projects is very safe and a wise move,” Kimball said.

Trash opt-out may be dropped

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After being tabled at its first meeting, the Carmel City Council will likely soon vote on a proposal to eliminate city council the “opt-out” option for trash collection services, meaning homeowners will be forced to use the provider that wins the bid for the city’s five-year contract. Currently, Republic Services has the contract.

The move has angered some residents who choose to use another service, such as Ray’s Trash.

Carmel resident Steve Wallace said he’s disappointed.

“Government has no business mandating consumer choices of private citizens,” he said.

City Council President Ron Carter compares trash collection to any other public utility, such as water, sewer, gas or electricity. He said it doesn’t make sense to have everyone use different services and that he believes the measure will pass Jan. 18.

Carmel residents who use the city-trash service provided by Republic pay $9.90 per month. Sue Maki, Carmel’s manager of environmental initiatives and education, said she did not know the monthly rate for Ray’s, but

when the last bid for service went out, Ray’s would have charged $14.68 per month. The Republic bid at the time was $8.94 per month per home.

As of December 2015, Republic had 23,693 customers in Carmel, and approximately 2,600 people – or approximately 11 percent of the city’s households – used other services, Maki said.

Republic must have at least 20,000 customers to retain its contract, which ends Dec. 31, 2016.

Councilor Sue Finkam said using one trash service is better for roads because one garbage truck can equal 5,500 cars in terms of wear and tear. She also said more trucks on the road means property damage, noise and traffic backups.

By the numbers $9.90 – Cost of Republic trash pickup per month $14.58 – Cost of Ray’s Trash pickup per month in previous bid 2,600 – Approximate number of residents opting out of Republic’s service 20,000 – Number of customers required for Republic to retain contract 23,593 – Republic customers in Carmel as of December 2015

CHS grad Gangwani named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

From the time he was a child, Tarun Gangwani adopted technology as an integral part of his life. He rememachievement bers helping friends and family members build websites and learning from the success of his father’s software company.

That early exposure to the tech world helped land Gangwani on the 2016 Forbes 30 Under 30 list, which recognizes leaders and innovators in 20 categories who are younger than 30 years old. The 2007 Carmel High School graduate is on the Enterprise Tech list.

Thousands of candidates are nominated for the list each year. Other breakout talents on the 2016 list are fashion designer Lauren Conrad, Star Wars actor John Boyega and Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry.

The 2007 Carmel High School graduate is now an offering manager with IBM in San Francisco, where he leads a multi-disciplinary product development team in designing Bluemix through a $1 billion investment. Since its creation, Bluemix has become the largest cloud foundry implementation in the world. Its purpose is to allow companies to build, deploy, manage and scale applications and services across multiple open-source technologies.

Gangwani said he was shocked when he heard he had made the list.

“I thought it was a dream,” he said, “It was a good way to start off the year and a crazy awesome blessing.”

Building a foundation Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Gangwani and his family immigrated to Indianapolis so Tarun’s father, Haresh Gangwani, could complete his studies at the University of Indianapolis.

Haresh now runs his own software company called ConsulTeams as a platform to connect and advise independent consultants.

After graduating high school, Gangwani went to the University of Pittsburgh but soon transferred to Indiana University. He completed both his undergraduate and master’s degrees at IU, majoring in cognitive science and human-computer interaction design.

“I attribute a lot of my career to my beginnings,” Gangwani said.

While an undergrad, he began working with the university’s IT services, where he consulted in the technology center for more than three years.

“The experience taught me how to manage people and problems,” he said.

Not only did Gangwani manage, he also

mentored. Marty Siegel, director of graduate studies School of Informatics and Computing was one of Gangwani’s former professors. He spoke of Gangwani’s tenacity and his heart for mentoring.

“Aside from his many intellectual gifts, Tarun is a superb design strategist who is persistent in understanding human experience as it may interact with technical possibilities,” Siegel said, adding that Gangwani is intellectually fearless.

Gangwani developed his leadership skills by restarting a chapter of Interaction Design Association, which is a worldwide design organization. It quickly grew to 100 members in just a few months.

His involvement with IxDA eventually introduced him to opportunities at IBM. He started his IBM job in May 2013 among the company’s first set of designers for Bluemix. There are now more than 1,000 designers.

“I truly feel that my work has a real impact on how the world does business,” Gangwani said. “I get to work on complex problems with some of the smartest people in the tech industry.”

Favorite place to travel: France. “It has such a charming atmosphere.”

WWII vet, 96, staying busy

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bill Clark attributes his long life to keeping busy.

Clark, who turned 96 Nov. Profile 13, didn’t retire until he was 80 and still mows his yard.

He has lived in Carmel for more than 50 years and is a creature of habit. He and his daughter, Cathy, 59, have lunch each day at MCL in Carmel. He goes to Butler Barber Shop in Carmel every three weeks on Monday to get his hair cut by Bill Dennis, 77. A Westfield resident, Dennis used to have his shop in the Home Place area and Clark would come in there.

Clark was drafted in 1942 and entered the Air Force, which was a part of U.S. Army at the time. It became a separate branch in 1947, and Clark got out in 1949. He was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, for two years during World War II, working as a mechanic.

“That was rough enough. That was pretty rough country,” said Clark, who was also stationed in Arizona and California.

Clark said there was thick ice on the shower walls.

“You had to watch if you were naked you could get cut on the walls,” he said.

Bill Dennis gives Bill Clark a haircut. Clark comes into the shop every three weeks. (Photo

During his time in the Air Force, at midnight, he and other service members would race the vehicles in Alaska that pulled the planes.

“If they caught us, we’d still be in jail,” he said.

Clark began his career at Allison Transmission in Speedway in 1940 and returned there after his service, working 25 years. He then managed an estate in Carmel for 25 years.

His family lived on the estate as well. Then he worked at a print shop for six more years, retiring at age 80.

Kids cooking classes offered

By Michelle Williams new@currentincarmel.com Kids Rule Cooking School will offer a new series of cooking classes for children at the Monon Community Center. program Owner Kristina McClatchie said this will be the first time she has worked with Carmel-Clay Parks & Recreation. Most of her classes have been held at Indy’s Kitchen, but she found that many people from north of Indianapolis wanted to attend.

“So many kids just love to cook. I think they like to create their own recipes, and they ask a lot of questions in that regard. It taps into that creativity of being a kid,” McClatchie said.

“I had a camp over the summer and we invited all their parents to come and eat. The kids cooked for them, and they were just so proud of themselves.”

McClatchie will teach about topics such as baking, American food, international cuisine and snacks.

“All of the classes that I teach are geared toward whole foods. Everything is from scratch and I try to use as many whole-food ingredients as I can, so that the kids can start thinking that way,” she said. “For the little

ones, we try to keep it simpler. We have a class called Grow it in a Garden.”

McClatchie said that kids also pick up other valuable disciplines from the classes.

“I’ve noticed that they come in and they are all over the place a little bit,” she said. “By the end, they are organized because they realize the effort it takes to get a meal out.”

The weekend classes will be available January through March for children in age groups 4-7, 7-13 and 13-17 years old. Class fees range from $24 to $55. Register at carmelclayparks.com.

“Where’s Amy?” … I took my mom to see the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash at the Palladium. She’s phenomenal to see live because she connects with the audience. Cash told the audience, “I didn’t know why I took so long to get to this beautiful place, but I’m glad we are here!” It was clear her fans agreed, giving her a well-deserved standing ovation. Yep, what a treat it was to see Rosanne Cash perform at the Palladium, but then again, it’s always a treat to see every artist perform at the beautiful Palladium. I am giving Rosanne Cash two thumbs up. See more photos at currentincarmel.com

Carmel’s Kevin Patterson returns to lead the Indianapolis Opera

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com There’s a belief among many in show business that you shouldn’t coVer story start your career in your home town; rather you should venture out see what opportunities await.

Kevin Patterson did just that, but now he’s returned to his home state as the general director of the Indianapolis Opera.

“I loved going away and experiencing a lot of different things in the United States,” he said. “I had a lot of really wonderful experiences that my career has taken me (to), but deep down, when I come home, I'm always a Hoosier.”

Patterson grew up on the southeast side of Indianapolis and graduated from Warren Central High School before attending the Indiana University School of Music. His professional career in opera began in 1993 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. From there, his work took him to Pittsburgh, Austin and Anchorage, along with various other countries throughout the world. But the pull of the Hoosier state was

strong. Patterson decided to move his family back to Indiana in August 2014.

“We were living in Anchorage, and we loved it, but Alaska is not the easiest of places to get,” he said. “Family kind of pulls you back.”

Patterson owns a private consultancy company and is also a professional auctioneer. He hoped those two jobs could keep him busy when he moved home.

“I moved back to Carmel without any conception that I was going to work for another opera company. Then Indianapolis Opera approached me in December of 2014 at first on a consultancy basis. They were going through an organizational assessment of the company.

They were also in talks to engage a potential general director candidate. That didn't pan out

for them, and they asked me if I would consider becoming general director of the company. I took over in February 2015,” Patterson said.

Carol Baker, director of community engagement for the Indianapolis Opera, said Patterson’s presence has already made a big difference in the organization.

"Kevin is known in the opera industry for doing really great work with the opera business as a whole. We really lucked out being able to draw in a person of his caliber to our organization,” Baker said. “It's truly exceptional in the change that he's brought about. I'm really excited the kind of work we will do in the next year, as well. I'm excited not only for the company but for our community.”

At the time he was hired, the Indianapolis Opera had recently undergone an organizational assessment to determine its future direction. In an unstable economic climate, many arts programs had shut down. The opera was hoping to prevent that from happening. Armed with the information from the assessment, Patterson and the opera began making some changes.

“There is an entirely new staff. The corporate culture of the old company doesn't really exist anymore. We've moved out of Clowes Hall as our main home. We're going to take our programming out to the public wherever that public might be,” Patterson said. “In August, we did the opera by Michael Nyman, who was the composer for the music (for) the movie

‘The Piano.’ It tells the story of a man who goes through his life with visual agnosia. We got together with seven mental health and neurology organizations around the city. We used that opera as a way in which to be a catalyst for dialogue in the community. We feel compelled to do more.”

In the future, Patterson hopes to keep some traditional aspects of the Indianapolis Opera but also help it change and grow with its audience. He’s looking to take the opera beyond Indianapolis into Carmel and elsewhere. He hopes to cultivate new talent with a resident artist program.

“You're going to see a balance in the vision of the company between those traditional chestnuts that we all love and the new work that gets people talking about what's going on in our community,” Patterson said.

Whose story ‘rings’ truest?

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it stuck us that there are true, overthe-top romantics in our midst. By that, we mean gents that do more than the old getdown-on-one-knee deal to beg/propose. (We do that simply to get the TV remotes from our spouses, by the way.) Some guys really go all out, expand the boundaries of creativity and really stretch to propose to what they hope will be their bride-to-be. And so in recognition of those that really know how to push the envelope in this category, we’ve created The Most Romantic Marriage Proposal contest. Every couple has a unique story, as no two are alike, but we (and our readers) want to know what over-the-moon proposal you offered or, in the case of a bride, was presented to you.

The grand-prize winner, as determined by online voting Jan. 27 through Feb. 1 at www. youarecurrent.com, will be awarded a John Hardy limited edition, pink-sapphire bracelet, courtesy of Moyer Fine Jewelers. The first runner-up will have dinner for two on the house at Prime 47-Carmel, and the second runner-up will win a $100 gift card from Kroger of Carmel to use on flowers, chocolates or, perhaps, ingredients for a romantic, home-cooked meal.

(Thank you, sincerely, sponsors!) All submissions will be posted, and then we’ll let our readers decide who wins what. Send your story to our editorial director, Sophie Pappas, at sophie@youarecurrent.com. The winners and their respective entries will be announced and published in the Feb. 9 edition of Current.

We’re eagerly anticipating the submissions to see who really has the corner on creativity.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Good enough Commentary by Terry Anker When is good enough, well, good enough? Every one of us holds an internal standard that allows us to call an assigned task complete. Some will obsess over every detail to a point of absurdity well beyond any hoped for return on the effort. Others will walk away with the job better described as half-started than as half-done. Is there a benchmark that we can identify to measure a duty finished?

Some of us come to know the principle outlined in software development (I’d argue that it applies to almost any start-up organization or nascent product) that the work is done when a consumer market decides enough value is created by the invention in its currently “incomplete” form to justify its cost and to therefore buy it. To continue to expend resources that do not increase the value to the customer in proportion to the required increase in price is bad business.

It seems simple enough.

Yet in our personal lives, so many of us obsess over the minutia of our daily

routines, ever mired in detail and “improvements” that could scarcely show a return in the quality of living were we to be around in 1,000 years. Don’t misunderstand.

Excellence matters. We exist in a competitive world with an ever increasing interpretation of perfection. But, are we deploying our attentions to the specifics that matter to those that we care about around us?

Or, are we indulging in our own vanity in assuming that “our” perfection will suit anyone else?

It is a thorny challenge. Seeking distinction through hard-work and innovation is virtuous. We should celebrate it. But also, knowing when to stop expending resources on something that is ostensibly as good as it is going to get, likewise, is virtuous.

The trick is to reconcile the two.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

– Mark Twain

Get your mooches up, people! Football may be winding down but competitive dance is just getting started. Woot, humor woot! Yes, it’s true. I’ve reached the point in every dance mom’s life where she actually looks forward to the dressing room drama, the bedazzled bootie shorts and the crazy cacophony of hundreds of tween-agers yelling “Nail it, Kaylie!”

How did this happen? Believe me, I ask myself this question daily. I’m not particularly girly, nor did I grow up in this world of jazz hands and faux Kardashian lashes. I’d always dreamed of watching my kids from the basketball stands or natatorium seats, or even the frozen tundra of soccer sidelines. Never, at least up until three years ago, had I imagined I’d be packing Dream Duffels full of sequenced costumes and make-up remover, fishnet tights and bun makers and heading off to local hotels for 36-48 hours of dance competition. And happily, I might add.

In truth, my first year of wading through contemporary marshland with my youngest daughter was almost my last. The time, the money, the stupid judges . . . and all for watching my precious little angel on stage for maybe seven minutes, total. I could barely handle it. But she clearly has a passion for this, and I could easily see that behind the occasional tears and forgotten bling earrings, she was learning grace and confidence and how to persevere under pressure. Big stuff for an 11-year-old.

And I’ve improved, too, especially in the coping arena. I’ve learned how to squash my sometimes critical but always competitive nature and focus instead on how much fun she is having and the wonderful friendships she is making. I also know that, with the right attitude, a good book and a pair of high-quality ear plugs, the weekends can be rather pleasurable.

So get ready for some unbelievable tales of tacky parenting and outrageous toddlers, my friends, for rarely does a dance season disappoint. And you can count on me to deliver the juice freshly squeezed as I dive headfirst into the crazy. Can’t wait! Peace out.

Brush with fame

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Mike and Glenda Carmichael of Alexandria, Ind., have been married a long time, but they still have a ball. In fact, they’ve humor had this ball for nearly 40 years.

A paintball, that is.

It all started in 1977, when Mike and his 3-year-old son, Michael Jr., painted a baseball that was sitting on a shelf in their garage.

Mike thought it would be a fun pastime for his family to continually repaint the ball to see just how big it could get. Fast-forward four decades and almost (key word: almost) 25,000 coats of paint later, and we now have a 4,500-pound sphere of paint, so big it sits (hangs, really) in a nearby barn. Yikes! And there is no end (or circumference) in sight.

When I first covered this story on TV back in the ’90s, Mike’s venture was a mere roadside oddity: now everything has snowballed, er … paint-balled. Since then, Mike has been featured on numerous national travel shows, “CBS This Morning,” and a page in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” And, of course, in “Guinness World Records.”

Mike keeps a record of the color in each

layer (there are 20 choices) and the name of each person who painted it. “Sometimes an entire family wants to paint the ball,” says Mike. “It’s cheaper than a day at Disney World.”

Mike’s wife, Glenda, is responsible for more than 8,000 paint coats, a feat for which she is openly proud. “It’s more fun than vacuuming, and you feel like you have accomplished something.” You have?

To paint the ball, Mike asks that you make an appointment, but he has welcomed a few unannounced visitors. “It’s hard to turn down someone who’s travelled hundreds of miles just to get a photo of themselves painting the ball.”

On Saturday morning, Jan. 23. on WISHTV’s “Daybreak,” I will be painting the 25,000th coat. How interesting will that be? About as interesting as watching paint dry.

ATI breaks from normal fare by presenting ‘Sweeney Todd’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

This performance comes with a warning: this is not your normal Actors Theatre of Indiana fare. cover “We’re known for more uplifting and light-hearted shows,” said Don Farrell, one of the ATI founders, along with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. “People walk away with a little tap in their step.”

That’s not likely to be the case with “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

“This one has very mature themes. It could be even considered an R-rated show,” Farrell said.

No nudity, Farrell assured, but it is the tale of a murderous barber bent on revenge.

“It’s a musical thriller,” Farrell said. “Stephen Sondheim has to be one of the most brilliant writers, really ever.”

Farrell will play the title character.

“It’s a dream role for almost every male actor,” Farrell said. “If you ask actors, ‘What are your dream roles?’ nine times out of 10, Sweeney Todd will be listed among those roles for any actor on the musical theater stage.”

Farrell previously performed in “Sweeney Todd” twice before as Anthony Hope in two other productions. “‘Sweeney Todd’ is very rich with layers and layers of subplots,” Farrell said. “You could make an entire college course just analyzing this musical.”

Collins, who will play the beggar woman, is also major Sondheim fan.

“Sondheim is probably one of the most brilliant composers of the 20th and 21st century,” Collins said. “His shows are extremely difficult and complex and a challenge. For an actor, it’s wonderful to do a Sondheim show because of the challenge and the great satisfaction of getting over those hurdles.

“I can’t emphasize enough how special it

is for actor to do a Sondheim show. You don’t see a lot of Sondheim shows around here because his work is so complex and so difficult that some theater companies don’t want to do it; they don’t think the audiences will understand it. ‘Sweeney Todd’ is in the top five of the greatest musicals ever written.”

This is Richard J Roberts’ fourth time directing a show with ATI. He previously directed “My Fair Lady,” “The 39 Steps” and “The Musical of Musicals.”

“It’s definitely a challenging and complicated show and one that doesn’t get done very often for that reason,” Roberts said. “The fact that we’re doing it with a small cast of 11 is part of that challenge. Sondheim music is more complicated than average music. It’s also more beautiful and exciting than the av-

erage music.”

Roberts is confident the talented cast will pull it off.

“They’ve put a lot of work in on their own, so they arrived the first day of rehearsal really well prepared,” Roberts said. “We have some really talented high school kids. That’s one of the things that I’m most excited about.

When they first contacted me about directing the show, I said I wanted to have actual kids playing the kids, which people don’t normally do. We found these amazingly talented high school kids. So I’m really thrilled they are part of the show.”

The three high school students appearing in the show are Franklin Community junior Caleb Wertz (Tobias Ragg), Crawfordsville senior Elizabeth Hutson (Johanna) and Herron junior

In honor of Indiana’s Bicentennial, this year’s “Valentine’s” exhibit features works that depict what artists love about the Hoosier state. The Hoosier Heart-Land exhibit is meant to serve as a visual love letter to our state, commemorating the people, places and things that make Indiana what it is today. The goal is to create an exhibit that can lift up visitors’ spirits on even the coldest, dreariest of February days and encourage everyone to marvel at what a complex, vibrant place Indiana has become over the past 200 years.

TOTS to present ‘Skylight’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The decision to present “Skylight” was easy for Theatre on the Square Artistic Director Lori Raffel. theater “Theatre on the Square chose ‘Skylight’ for one reason: Bill Simmons,” Raffel said. “I have watched Bill on stage in Indy theatre for years and worked with him at the Phoenix Theatre. He is a treasure, and the opportunity to work with him was just too wonderful to pass up. He brought with him Gari Williams to direct, and that clinched the deal.”

Simmons performed at TOTS for several years, then moved on to Phoenix Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre and others.

The play will run on weekends from Jan. 22 to Feb. 13 at the Christel DeHaan Main Stage.

“Skylight,” written by top British playwright David Hare, won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Other cast members include Sarah McGee and Tyler Ostrander. McGee, who lives in Carmel, is making her TOTS debut. Raffel is a board member of Carmel Community Players and has directed there for nearly 10 years.

McGee has been in several productions that Raffel directed at CCP at Clay Terrace.

The plot revolves around Kyra Hollis (McGee) receiving two unexpected visitors at her London home: first the boy she used to nanny (Ostrander), then from his father and her exlover, Tom Sergeant (Simmons), a successful restaurateur whose wife has recently died.

The two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

Rush to play in Carmel May 19 Commentary by Zach Dunkin

On his website tomrush.com, folk icon Tom Rush offers young people seeking a career in music two pieces of coming soon advice: One, play in front of a live audience as much as possible because, he says, “You will learn more in 30 minutes of live performance than you will in a month of rehearsing in the garage.”

Two, do your best to form a personal bond with your audience. “Try to engage them from the stage; tell them stories, make them laugh, make them care about you.”

That approach has worked for the 74-yearold musician for more than 50 years – ever since his first regular gig when “engaging” his audience too well cost him the job. Music fans will be able to witness for themselves just how engaging Rush can be when he plays at The Warehouse on May 19.

By putting the performer and the fan on the same level, Rush creates an atmosphere of comfort and familiarity. Audiences come for distinctive acoustic guitar style – he occasionally uses a dinner knife when playing – his rich baritone vocals and his humorous storytelling.

And, about that first “too successful” gig?

COMPETITION SPONSORS:

This past Christmas, we celebrated the holidays with all my family at the Iberostar Quetzal resort near Cancun, Mexico. Fantastic trip and for sure our favorite travel memory of 2015! A highlight was the food. We were in food heaven. Not only was it delicious to the palate, but dishes were works of art. I am sharing a dish that recreates those special memories from our recent trip. Note: You can assemble enchiladas ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze (up to a month).

Serves: 5 (makes 10) / Time: 50 minutes Ingredients: 10 oz. diced green chiles roasted, such as Hatch or Anaheim, 1 tablespoon butter, 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 cups lowsodium chicken broth, divided, 10 corn tortillas (6 1/2 to 8 in. wide), 2 cups coarsely shredded Monterey jack, divided, 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken, sour cream Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Heat oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Stir in cilantro, chiles, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes to mix flavors. Add 1 1/4 cups broth and simmer until reduced by one-

third, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare tortillas: In a small frying pan, bring 1 1/2 cups broth to a gentle simmer. Working with one at a time, briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften.

Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet. Do not overlap or tortillas will stick. Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam side down to baking dish. Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese.

Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

There’s something sweet in Carmel, and it’s taking the form of freshly popped and packaged popcorn. new biz Pop Shop, 316 S. Range Line Road, opened last month by owner Lou Sanchez.

Sanchez opened up Carmel Auto Cleaning in March of 2015. But, throughout the course of several months, Sanchez said he began to feel like it just wasn’t the right fit. And, in October, he shut down the operation.

Sanchez decided to open a fun and caramel-infused popcorn shop with a prevalent “pop”-inspired theme.

Pop Shop sells Carmel Lou (buttery sweetness), Lou Cheesey (3x the cheese), Wendy’s Kettle Korn and Plain Shame (free of everything). Customers can get popcorn in paper and plastic bags, tins and even a five-gallon bucket.

And, to go along with the popcorn and pop music vinyl records, Sanchez also offers customers a wide range of sodas.

“My goal one day is to have maybe 100 different kinds of sodas,” Sanchez said.

Down the road, he said he hopes to grow his local business while still maintaining his

ideal, neighborhood-style popcorn shop.

“We’re starting out very small, but maybe someday we’ll grow, and we’ll have a nice little place for everybody to sit,” Sanchez said.

“But I don’t know, I like it like this.”

Pop Shop is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day of the week. For more, visit carmelpopshop.com.

A new, more professional you Commentary by Beverly Randolph Is professional development one of your resolutions for 2016? According to a Harvard and Stanford study, social skills one’s career success is based on 85 percent social skills and only 15 percent technical skills. Set yourself apart from the competition using these tips while simultaneously becoming more confident and credible. • Handshake. Like it or not, one is judged by the quality of their handshake. To initiate a handshake, smile, lean forward about 20 degrees, extend your right hand keeping your fingers together with your thumb up and open. Slide your hand into the other person's so the web of skin between thumb and forefingers touches (web-to-web). Squeeze firmly, but not bone crushing, and pump twice from the elbow. A good handshake comes from the elbow; the forearm remains firm.

Practice with a trusted colleague, family member or friend. When at networking functions and the like, always keep your right hand free. Practice having a beverage in your left hand. • Posture. It says a lot about your person-

ality. Stand straight with arms to your side and feet shoulder-width apart and of course, head up. When talking with someone, face them directly. If your colleague is too close for your liking, pivot every so often. Americans prefer at least a foot of space between another. A quick way to check your posture is when at a stoplight or stop sign. This will get you in the habit of correcting yourself. • Eye contact. In America, maintaining eye contact is vital as it indicates trustworthiness. However, staring can be considered threatening. With business associates, keeping eye contact from the top of the eyebrows to the bridge of the person’s nose is appropriate.

IU Health is making certain its hospitals are prepared for a variety of disaster situations.

More than 1,800 associemergency ates from IU Health North in Carmel, Saxony in Fishers and Tipton have completed the mandatory Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate, or A.L.I.C.E. training session. Then smaller groups took part in active shooter drills in November.

“We had approximately 60 take part in an active shooter drill at IU North with the Carmel SWAT Team,” said Garry Kimble, chief of police for North Central Region for IU Health. “Then we had 25 or 30 take part in an active shooter drill at IU Saxony with the Fishers SWAT Team.

I really wanted the staff to recognize the sound of gun fire and realize they only have seconds to react when they hear that sound.”

The shooter used blanks to simulate the gunfire, Kimble said.

Doug Market is the safety officer for North, Saxony and Tipton.

“Part of my duties are to coordinate the emergency management program,” he said.

“For us, it’s kind of a committee. It’s not like me being this dictator.”

Market prefers to call it preparation for out-of-the-ordinary events such as a network failure.

Regular disaster drills—like the Active Shooter Drill shown here with Carmel Police at IU Health North—help prepare hospital associates to safely care for patients during challenging times.

(Submitted photo)

In August, the hospitals prepared with a training exercise for both severe weather and hazardous material.

“Annually, our hospitals do hazardous vulnerability analysis. It takes literally hundreds of scenarios, and we go through a risk assessment on those,” Market said. “We then look at what are our top five risks right now.

So severe weather in the Midwest, particularly tornadoes, always ranks really high up there.

Decontamination also ranked high on our risk assessment. Three times in 2015 we drilled for that.”

The Escape Pass: Head to the MCC Commentary by Lindsay Labas It’s that time of year when you are probably inundated by coupons and “specials” from numerous gyms, workout cenfitness ters and recreational facilities.

So, you’re tempted to pick up a kickboxing class here, a yoga class there and try to find a lap pool and/or a track on which to walk or run. Even with the “sign up enticements,” the monetary burden combined with the logistical hassles become a bit much.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation provides an easy answer to this conundrum with the Escape Pass – an all-access membership to the Monon Community Center as well as The Waterpark – with a beginning price of $40 ($37 for those 55 or older). How “all-access” is it? The Monon Community Center Escape Pass grants access to the Fitness Center, Indoor Aquatics, Gymnasium, Group Fitness classes, seasonal Waterpark and more. The group fitness classes are as cutting edge as your fitness desires –Tabata, Piloxing, Pound, Yoga, Piyo, Pilates, Zumba and aqua fitness at no extra cost. An Escape Pass also gets you

into programs like Family Gym as well as entry into the KidZone that provides child care while you work out (for an additional $5 per visit).

And, as soon as Memorial Day rolls around, the Escape Pass allows you to climb The Wall, surf the FlowRider, entertain the little ones in the Kiddie Pool, and enjoy the zero-entry activity pool.

In addition, the Escape Pass provides an added advantage to those 65 years or older.

In addition to receiving a discounted pass, it may well be free! The Monon Community Center participates in the Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness program, an insurance benefit included in more than 65 Medicare health plans. Through SilverSneakers, health plans and group retirement plans, gym memberships are provided to their insured, usually at no additional cost. To confirm eligibility in the SilverSneakers Fitness program, individuals are encouraged to visit www.silversneakers.com/tools/eligibility. Once your eligibility is confirmed, bring your 16-digit Healthways ID number into the Monon Community Center to get your Escape Pass.

Blueprint for Improvement: New outdoor living space with fireplace Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a space large enough for the whole family to enjoy year round.

1. A new, larger deck was added and created a space that was more feasible for entertainment and family enjoyment.

2. A roof was built over the new deck to protect the space from the weather.

The new roof needed to appear as part of the original design of the home.

3. The new addition needed to allow ample natural lighting into the home without obstructing the backyard views.

4. A fireplace was added to allow the space to be enjoyed on cool evenings or winter months.

5. New outdoor furniture, wood ceiling, and a TV above the fireplace finished the look and created a very homey feel.

Before Background Info: Built in 1991, this home is located in the Windemere subdivision in Carmel.

The homeowners have lived there for four years but their home lacked the outdoor space they desired.

Before problems: The current outdoor living area consisted of an exposed deck that offered no protection from the weather. The homeowners wanted to enjoy the outdoors all year without having to worry about the weather. They desired a larger area that would bring the inside out and create a more enjoyable space the whole family could enjoy.

St. Isaac’s deadly domes

Commentary by Don Knebel

The golden dome of St. Isaac’s Cathedral dominates the skyline of St. Petersburg, Russia. The massive church, said travel to be the third largest domed cathedral in the world, was built at an enormous cost in both treasure and human life.

St. Petersburg’s largest cathedral, located near the Neva River, honors St. Isaac of Dalmatia, the patron saint of Peter the Great, born on the saint’s feast day. Designed to accommodate up to 14,000 standing Orthodox worshipers, the church was built from 1818 to 1858 on the order of Tsar Alexander I, who considered its predecessor unworthy of a great city. The building, mixing classical Greek and Russian elements, was designed by Auguste de Montferrand, a Parisian architect who died just after the project was completed.

The church takes the shape of a Greek cross, with four bronze pediments resting on a total of 48 56-foot-tall columns, each carved from a single piece of red granite. Statues of Jesus’ disciples stand on the corners and apex

of each pediment. A 72-foot-diameter central dome, covered with 200 pounds of pure gold, is surrounded by four smaller domes. The walls of the one-acre interior of St. Isaac’s are adorned with murals and mosaics above columns of semi-precious stones. A magnificent stained glass window, rare in Orthodox churches, portrays the resurrected Jesus.

Construction of St. Isaacs cost about 25 million rubles, worth perhaps $150 million today.

The cost also included 60 workers killed by the mercury used in gilding the domes.

In 1931, the Soviet government replaced the dove of the Holy Spirit descending from the heavenly scenes beneath St. Isaac’s central dome with a Foucault pendulum and renamed the building the “Museum of Religion and Atheism.” With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the dove has returned and church services have resumed on special occasions.
