City sends cease-and-desist letter to Airbnb hosts

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel has sent letters to several homeowners who listed their homes on Airbnb and similar short-term rental city news websites, informing them they are in violation of city zoning laws and that they have 10 days to cease operations or file for a variance.

Airbnb is an online resource for renting out a room or an entire home for a short-term period.

The City of Carmel said it’s received numerous complaints from neighbors about Airbnb hosts operating in the city.

Glenda Pilcher, a member of the Cool Creek North Neighborhood Home Owners Association, said a house in the neighborhood allegedly was purchased for the sole purpose of operating as an Airbnb listing, which angered some.

“There are a group of neighbors that are very upset, and so we’ll have a meeting about that,” she said.

City councilor Sue Finkam, who represents that area, said neighbors are concerned about safety and increased traffic.

“They’ve developed a community there and they don’t want to disrupt that,” she said. “I support our zoning laws and err on the side of public safety.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has previously

Airbnb spokesman Ben Breit said his company is working with many municipalities to address these types of issues.

“Carmel’s host community wants to pay their fair share and we want to help. Along those lines, we are engaged in productive conversations with officials throughout Indiana to pay local taxes,” Homeowners Karen Kedanis, right, and her husband, Michael, left, greet he said. “Additionally, we ask all hosts to follow their local guests Gama, Joss, Justin and Sloan Kramer.

Council president to decide seating arrangements

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council voted 6-0 to pass an ordinance that will remove Clerk-Treacity news surer Christine Pauley from the dais at council meetings and eliminate her speaking time from the agenda.

The ordinance, which Pauley passed Jan. 9, gives the council president the authority to decide the seating arrangement for meetings. Newly selected Council President Sue Finkam said only council members should sit at the dais. She said there will be tables for other officials, such as the

mayor, deputy clerk-treasurer and possibly city attorneys.

Finkam said the changes are not personal against Pauley but make sense with Carmel becoming a second class city, meaning the clerk-treasurer position will be eliminated in three years.

“This meeting is for council to fulfill its fiscal and legislative business. Having the Finkam clerk-treasurer present on the dais is a remnant from when we were a much smaller, differently managed city,” Finkam said.

Pauley also will have her speaking time removed from the agenda. If she wants to address the public she must fill out a blue card like

any Carmel resident and stay within the twominute time limit.

City councilor Ron Carter, who recently finished a term as council president, said the change was needed because Pauley was disruptive in meetings and would “make faces.” He said her conduct was sometimes unprofessional and that if councilors need to hear from her, they will ask her a question.

Pauley said the actions are meant to silence her because she has had some disagreements with council members, particiularly with Carter.

“I do think I should have some space for me during meetings,” she said. “But it’s just silly. It’s like kids in the cafeteria saying, ‘You can’t sit with me.’”

CHS staff recalls Meyer’s kindness

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Eric Meyer’s memorial drew teachers from elementary school to his Purdue professors.

“He touched so many people,” said Carmel High School Assistant in memoriam Principal Amy SkeensBenton, who witnessed the outpouring of affection from Meyer’s former instructors at the Jan. 16 memorial.

One constant from all their memories was Meyer’s kind nature and genuine concern for teachers and classmates.

Meyer, a 2013 CHS graduate and a Purdue student, died in his dorm room. According to his obituary, Meyer, 21, died “unexpectedly of natural causes” Jan. 10. Tippecanoe Coroner Donna Avolt’s statement ruled out foul play or suicide Jan. 13, adding it would be several weeks before toxicology reports are in.

“Eric had the biggest heart,” Skeens-Benton said. “His kindness and generosity did not go unnoticed by the students and staff at CHS. He was loved and adored by everyone who had the pleasure to know him. He loved his tie-dyed shirts. He always had a word of encouragement for a classmate or a positive quip to share.”

CHS English teacher John Love described Meyer as a joy to have in class.

“He had a wonderful sense of humor and was well-respected by his peers,” Love said.

“There are two things I will remember most about Eric — he had an infectious laugh and a killer collection of tie-dye shirts.”

Meyer attended Mohawk Trails Elementary and Clay Middle School in Carmel. He graduated from high school with academic and technical honors. Meyer was studying geology at Purdue and was a member of the Geology Club. He loved bowling, playing cards, reading and video games.

Swim club ranked 4th in nation

By Renee Larr • new@currentincarmel.com Carmel Swim Club has been named one of the Top 20 swim clubs in the nation by USA Swimming. This is the seventh time in the last eight years it has made achievement the list.

USA Swimming looks at approximately 3,500 clubs when forming its rankings through the Club Excellence program.

Carmel Swim Club placed fourth, the highest ranking it’s ever achieved.

“It’s a performance ranking based off athletes achieving certain time standards. There is a power point system through FINA, which is the world governing body,” Carmel Swim Club Associate Head Coach Ian Murray said.

“If your athletes turn in a performance at a certain level, they get a certain amount of points, and the points go up the higher and higher the level.”

The ranking puts the Carmel club behind the much larger Nation’s Capital Swim Club, Marlins of Raleigh Swim Club and Dynamo Swim Club.

“It’s a big honor for us. It’s something we’re using as a measuring stick for our program,” Murray said. “It’s really exciting for us, too, because the three clubs that are in front of

us are either double, triple or quadruple the size of us, meaning they have that many more athletes than we do. And they draw from a major metropolitan area. Our club for the large majority is home-grown and based out of the City of Carmel.”

Carmel Swim Club is well known for competitive swimming, but it also offers programs for beginners.

“We have about 475 registered competitive athletes. That’s just part of the scope that we reach,” Murray said. “We have a comprehensive swimming program. We have a learn to swim program. We have a small feeder system where kids graduate from our learn to swim system before they graduate to our competitive team.”

Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development is proposing a $2.1 million project to build affordable housdevelopment ing in Home Place, a 1,017-acre area of unincorporated Clay Township that is surrounded by the City of Carmel.

The Carmel Plan Commission must approve the project for it to go forward. The project has 10 residential units on a 2.4-acre property between 105th and 106th streets, east of McPherson street. It includes four duplexes for senior citizens and two single-family homes for victims of domestic violence and other crimes, which will be for the use of Prevail Inc. of Hamilton County. There is no domestic violence shelter in Hamilton County.

Jennifer Miller, executive director of HAND, said the project will have a significant impact on the area.

Local couple scores early with launch of YogaBaby clothing line

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jessica and Kevin Lynch are used to being on the go.

Jessica was a cheerleader at Carmel High School and the University of Michigan.

Her husband is a former Michigan hockey player now playing for cover story the Indy Fuel.

So when their daughter, Ella, was born in June 2016, the couple began thinking about baby clothes that would mirror their active lifestyle.

“Being a mom today, we don’t get dressed up every day,” said Jessica, a 2009 CHS graduate. “I wear my workout clothes every day, whether I’m running errands, working out or at home with her. You want to sit on the floor and play with your baby. It seemed silly to dress her up all the time when I looked like I did. As a mom, you don’t have time to dress up. So we came up with this concept so she can look like me.”

So they decided to launch YogaBaby clothing.

“It’s really soft fabrics, moisture wicking so they dry really quickly,” Jessica said.

YogaBaby launched in mid-December with clothing and accessories for baby girls and toddlers. Jessica said they plan to launch a clothing line for baby boys March 1.

“We came at this with a purpose of having our babies look like their mothers, and they’re really comfortable,” Kevin said.

Jessica said the baby clothes are easy to put on.

“Jackets for babies, you can’t even get them in their car seat, they’re so puffy,” she said. “The fabric of (our) jacket is so stretchy, it’s easy to get on.”

The couple began by doing Facebook advertising and reaching out to family and friends.

Kevin takes care of the accounting. They both work on marketing, purchasing and sales.

“We see eye to eye on a lot of things, so it makes decisions easier,” Kevin said.

Jessica searched for someone who could help design the clothes. When she found Ashley Yochum, who graduated from the Art Institute of Indianapolis with a bachelor’s degree in fashion design, she knew it would be a good match. Yochum is working out of her fiancé’s house in Olney, Ill. “When Jessica first talked to me, I was most excited about the untapped market we were getting into,” Yochum said. “At the moment, there isn’t anything in the industry that competes with us. We really have started a new trend, and we learn along the way about the ups and downs of this new branch of athleisure wear for babies. YogaBaby is taking to the internet by storm, and we have far surpassed our expectations for the business right away.”

Yochum works to come up with new designs for different collections and seasons.

“This is especially exciting because of the lack of competitors in the market. Jessica and I come up with new outfits that have never been seen before in the fashion world,” Yochum said. “People can’t often say that they have been a pioneer in fashion, but I truly believe we are one of a kind.”

YogaBaby clothing is designed to be comfortable and provide styles similar to what many moms prefer to wear from day to day.

Jessica and Kevin Lynch of Carmel launched the YogaBaby clothing line to provide comfortable, versatile outfits for their daughter, Ella. (Submitted photos)

finally at home Kevin has been playing professional hockey for four years and has played for several teams.

“We’ve moved like a total of nine times in three years,” Jessica said.

They decided to move back to Hamilton County when they learned she was having a baby to be near her parents.

“It puts your life in perspective when you have a baby,” Jessica said. “Family really matters. We lived in great places. But there is something about the Midwest, the work ethic, the people are nice. This is where we wanted to be.”

Kevin, from Grosse Pointe, Mich., said it helps to be only four hours from his family as well.

“With the baby coming, we wanted to have a home base,” he said.

So the decision was made before he signed with the Indy Fuel last summer.

This is his first year playing for the Fuel, which is affiliated with the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks.

“It’s a great organization,” Kevin said. “The fan base is tremendous.”

Kevin was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NHL entry draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets but chose to go to college. He still has hopes of reaching the NHL. “One of the reasons we started this business was to give me the flexibility to play hockey as long as possible so I can go for my dream,” Kevin said. “Hockey doesn’t last forever, and we wanted something we could do afterwards.”

Being an entrepreneur runs in Jessica’s family. Her father, Ted Gelov, is the chairman and CEO of Carmel-based Heartland Food Products Group, which acquired Splenda in 2015.

“I worked for my dad’s companies the prior two years, and Kevin and I really wanted to start something on our own,” she said.

Jessica, who majored in communications and entrepreneurship at Michigan, met Kevin when they were sophomores. They graduated from Michigan in 2013.

Caught in a (teenage) lie

FR O M T HE backshop

Let’s just see if this works We’re perplexed by all the angst associated with President Donald Trump’s demeanor and Twitter finger since the election. We kept hearing that once he captured the nomination, Trump would pivot to a personality more fitting of the nominee of a major political party. It’s Trump. Why should he change? His “style” has brought him this far. Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and the rest ran traditional campaigns, and they lost.

We said Trump was the only Republican capable of beating Clinton (although we believed she would win). If nothing else, he would throw her off her game, which is exactly what happened. It always was difficult to argue his view that much of our government is run by incompetents. We do take solace in Trump’s cabinet picks, however. We find some inspirational, such as Rex Tillerson for secretary of state and Betsy DeVos for secretary of education, among others. We simply don’t understand why everyone is so afraid of Trump’s perceived lack of experience and “smarts.” He was smart enough, apparently, to defeat the entire GOP field, beat the Clinton and former President Barack Obama machines, and relegate the Bushes to the sidelines.

This election was all about change. Similar to former President Bill Clinton’s brilliant “It’s the economy, stupid” line to remind his team why they were running, Trump talked endlessly about “bulldozing the status quo.”

While he’s doing that, his supporters are going to give him all the leeway he needs to accomplish his goals. If he doesn’t, he’s a one-termer. At best.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Generous to a fault Commentary by Terry Anker We can call it generosity, hospitality, or maybe simple kindness. Yet, we all give, and we all take. Can we ever give too much?

Maybe, but should we first ask if we can ever take too much? Most of us try to provide for a bit more than we consume. It is the Hoosier way. We open our homes, hearts and wallets to all. Friend, family and foe can expect shelter if absolutely needed. It is good to give. And, it feels correspondingly good.

But there are times, oh, so painful times, when circumstance requires the intervention of another to provide for our requirements or those of our families. One’s strident hope to provide for our own needs falls short – and are even forced to depend, as Blanche DuBois, the tragic Tennessee Williams character lamented, on the kindness of strangers. If it is right and good to give, then is it right and good to accept?

If we afford too much, so much that the lives of our own family members are to suf-

fer, it might be said that we have been generous to a fault. Conversely, can we likewise drink from the boundless support of others, so much that we come to expect if not demand the largesse, to the point of being counted as needy to a fault?

Our good works rarely achieve perfect balance with those times when we might demand a return favor. Routinely, we do as we can while accepting favors not from those indebted to ourselves but instead from others. Knowing that we can never hope to realize ideal reciprocation, we pour out our generosity in the notion of an imagined cosmic equilibrium between what we’ve done and what we receive. Is it possible to maintain an accurate balance sheet? And if so, how does one go about keeping account?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

– Helen Keller

Well, friends, it’s finally happened. Doo and I have successfully caught one of our children in a bold-faced lie. humor After all these years of suspected truth-forgoing, I can now confidently say, “Parents 1, Kids 0!” A glorious moment for moms and dads everywhere, to be sure.

On New Year’s Eve, our precious firstborn child, all 6-foot-2 of him, looked me in the eyes and told me he’d be spending the night at a friend’s house. I sent G out the door 95 percent certain he was going where he said he was.

Like any good parent, however, I allowed that remaining 5 percent to dictate my next action, texting the mom to verify the plan. Before hearing back, though, Doo and I went off to our own celebration and completely forgot about our oldest until the following morning when he returned home.

He’d had a good time, they’d gotten some sleep ... now he was headed down to the Colts game. Great. Have fun!

But later that day, at a neighbor’s hangover party, the hostess casually mentioned to Doo that her daughter had seen G out last night, at some girl’s house. Honestly, I didn’t think much of this information, assuming the boys had gone to this party for a while and then headed back to the friend’s. Like most gullible moms, I didn’t really believe my son would lie, at least not to me.

Around 4 p.m. that day, though, the truth emerged. My mom-friend responded that they had not been at her house for New Year’s Eve, nor had they ever planned to be. What? I felt adrift. Part of me actually crumbled and screamed, “Nooooo, not my baby!” while ironically, the other part let forth a resounding, “Ah-ha! Busted!”

I like to think G confessed immediately because of the guilt he felt at lying, but his admittance was more likely due to the incontrovertible evidence stacked against him. Regardless, he served his punishment stoically and will hopefully think twice before his next teenage mis-adventure. Or at least be more diligent in hiding his tracks!

Peace out.

More memories about Art

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

In last week’s column, I described how in 1967, as a 22-year-old college kid, I met humorist Art Buchwald. As he read humor one of my columns, a flick of his wrist over my byline in my school newspaper made an indelible impression on me …

Wolfsie, stay out of my racket! – Art Buchwald In 2005, Art Buchwald entered hospice in Washington, D.C., prompting me to write a column about that first encounter. Friends suggested I send the essay to the facility where Mr. Buchwald was spending his final days. I stuffed a couple of newspapers containing my Buchwald column into an envelope and included a short note describing our brief meeting four decades earlier. I didn’t expect my package to reach him. He probably got thousands of cards and letters.

A month later, I received those same two newspaper clips in the mail. And there, above my byline, scribbled in his very recognizable but somewhat shaky handwriting, were the following: To Dick Wolfsie: Anyone who writes a column about me can’t be all bad. – Art

Buchwald And this, on the second one: To Wolfsie: Thanks for the column. Now I can die happy. – Art Buchwald And finally, typed on his letterhead, with his signature: To Dick Wolfsie: I’m glad you went straight. I figured you’d be sticking up 7-11s. – Art Buchwald In my office is a huge framed display of the contents of that envelope. If my house is ever in flames, once my wife and cat are safe, that’s what I’m going back inside to save.

Mr. Buchwald lived on for several months, even writing a final book, “Too Soon to Say Goodbye,” a remarkable look back: “ … uncertain and unfazed by the inevitable, living life to the fullest.”

After he passed, the New York Times posted a video he made: “Hi. I’m Art Buchwald, and I just died.”

Yes, he truly died laughing.

READERS ’ V I EWS Monon Trail trees are gone Editor, How embarrassing in a tree-friendly progressive city like Carmel that so many trees along the Monon Trail downtown are gone forever. All trees cut down Jan. 7. Why would any city agency or department approve something like this, especially along the Monon Trail?

With ongoing additional development along the trail I would hope more common sense will prevail. Get busy living trees, or get busy dying; which will it be? Time will tell!

Trump’s remarks should not be supported Editor, Apparently, it is OK for someone to mock a disabled person (as long as they are a powerful figure), but it is not OK for someone to criticize this behavior?

Especially if she is a “lefty entertainer?”

Common decency and courtesy are disposable as long as it suits your political aims?

This was not campaign rhetoric, which is filled with acrimony and accusations. Donald Trump was intentionally disparaging another human in person because of a physical condition.

I don’t know how you raised your children,

but this was NOT how I was raised, nor how I raised mine.

You should be personally embarrassed for supporting this behavior in print and should apologize to your readers for your lapse in good judgement.

I am sure that the vast majority of good people in Carmel, regardless of their political views, have a higher degree of personal ethics than what has been displayed by Mr. Trump in this episode (or by you two in supporting it).

Political disagreement is one thing. This was quite another.

Jack Cain, Carmel

CHS should consider its future students Editor, The pastor of Carmel Christian Church stated, “Our (Carmel High) school needs to be a place of safety and respect of all people.”

This statement was a reaction to the school authorities destroying approved pro-life posters posted by the school’s Teens for Life Club.

Apparently, a single student complained that the posters made her uncomfortable. I suggest that if the pastor wants to improve

the safety and respect of all people he start by defending the right-to-life of the unborn.

It would be to the school’s advantage to recognize that the abortion deaths of 7,952 future students in Indiana in 2016 make the 763 murders in Chicago look like child’s play.

How can a school claim to be looking out for the best interests of children if it sides with forces encouraging the killing of its future clientele?

John T. Curran, Carmel

Denigrating another city is not beneficial Editor, In your Jan. 10 commentary, a better comparison to “weird” Portland would be Indianapolis, not the very vanilla Carmel. It seems you arrived in Portland with your baggage, including a chip on your shoulder and closed mind.

I suspect your party’s comments weren’t limited to “half joking” remarks, and they made their disdain and right-leaning politics evident.

It’s hard to believe you saw Portland’s exceptional efforts to recycle as problematic and

too complicated. But I forgot that in a week environmental issues and climate change will simply no longer exist!

I hope you took the time to visit some of the true gems of Oregon, all within an hour of Portland, including Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge and Pacific coast.

There is no reason to denigrate another city to make you feel better about where you live. It fosters an “us and them” mentality that is not beneficial in bridging the divide in our nation.

Yogathon nears home stretch

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel residents are encouraged to help Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA reach its goal of 1 million GROUP EXERCISE Surya Namaskars, 10-step yoga postures known as sun salutations, before Jan. 29 during the annual Health for Humanity Yogathon.

HSS is a nonprofit that cultivates ancient Hindu heritage and cultural values in the next generation of Hindus in the U.S. and raise awareness to the public.

“We have been doing (Yogathon) almost 10 years across the world. The idea is to have 1 million counts of the sun salutation in two weeks,” HSS member Manish Srivastava said. “It's a brief exercise, 10 yoga poses, that can be done in five minutes to help revive body, spirit and mind. If you do it in the morning, it gives you energy for the whole day. The idea is to get people to adopt something good in their lives.”

On Jan. 29, guests are encouraged to attend a group participation of the sun salutation from 9 a.m. to noon at the Wilfong Pavilion at Founders Park, 11675 Hazel Dell Pkwy., Carmel. Beginners to those well-versed in

2015 Yogathon participants complete the sun salutation. (Submitted photo)

yoga are welcome.

“For three hours, different people will be doing the sun salutation continuously.

We're trying to do as many as we can that day to bump our count,” Srivastava said.

“It's for anyone that doesn't think yoga is for them or wants to learn how to do it. It's also for people who practice yoga. We'll have instructors there to help. Everyone is welcome. We’re trying to give back to society.”

There is no cost to attend. Participants should dress comfortably and bring their own yoga mat.

Carter’s Play Place embraces all

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Adam Meents knows what it’s like to be a parent of a child with special needs. He has two children, 8-year-old twins new biz Melanie and Carter. Carter is severely autistic, and Meents found a way to create a business to include all children in playtime.

“Most (special needs) kids have siblings to help them with the stimulation of being around typical kids for play,” Meents said. “We want to be open for all kids, and it reverses the stigma.”

Carter’s Play Place opened in Westfield in September, and the building has sensory friendly equipment so all children can play together. There’s also a toddler room and a quiet room for children that need it. Meents said one of the best aspects is the staff, which all have ties to special needs in the community.

“There’s many parents out there of special needs kids that feel like they are compelled to explain that to other parents, and you can imagine how quickly that can get old,” Meents said. “My staff in there sympathize and empathize because they’re living it. It’s great to have the right people in the business to really interact with the kids in a way they can understand. (The kids) are staying in a concentrated play area where it’s safe and secure, and parents know it’s a hard time for them to get hurt

It pays to go the second mile Commentary by George Klein I am always impressed with the service I receive when I go to Chick-fil-A. Employees, who are making CUSTOMER SERVICE at or slightly above minimum wage, consistently create a great experience.

In fact, I feel like I get as great of an experience at Chick-fil-a as I do at many high-end restaurants. Chick-fil-A is proof that businesses at lower price points can provide a great experience that leads to high customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Chick-fil-A employees do a lot of little things that create that great experience.

They do things like carry trays, refill drinks and bring napkins and condiments to the table. A second special touch is “my pleasure” instead of “you’re welcome” or the all-toocommon “no problem.” This slight change in language adds a touch of class to interactions and makes customers feel special.

The company refers to these little extras as the “second mile service.” The first mile service covers the basic things customers expect. The second mile service includes the extras that lead to exceeding customer expectations.

The second mile service culture has paid off for Chick-fil-A. The company has high customer service ratings and customer loyalty, with about 15 percent of its customers considered raving fans who will go above and beyond for the company. The company enjoys double digit sales growth with just more than 2,000 locations (McDonalds has more than 36,000 locations) and tops all fast-food restaurants in sales per restaurant. I believe that the second mile service approach has a positive impact on employees as well as customers.

Creating a corporate culture focused on providing great customer experiences starts with leadership. Chick-fil-A’s leadership established the second mile service culture from the start and continues to live the culture 70 years later. The culture is integrated into every aspect of the organization.

Regardless of price point, every business has second mile service opportunities to exceed customer expectations.

That was definitely a highlight of the trip,” sophomore Sydney Greene said. “Then just getting to experience the New York City atmosphere was fun. We were constantly out in the city.”

Greene was one of 26 CHS students who made the New York trip, along with seven adults, including CHS choir teachers John Burlace and Kathrine Kouns and Principal John Williams. The students are all applied music class members. The group flew out early Jan. 13 and returned Jan. 16.

The trip included seeing four plays, “Waitress,” “A Bronx Tale,” “Holiday Inn,” and “Dear Evan Hansen.”

“For me, the best part of the trip was getting the chance to experience four amazingly different shows with my classmates and teachers,” junior Anja Reese said.

The students attended a workshop with two dancers who have been in Broadway shows.

King to direct ‘Joseph’ again

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Doug King’s long history with “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and Beef & Boards Dinner beef & boards Theatre has crossed again.

King performed on the Chicago and Toronto touring production from 1993 to 1995, with Donny Osmond playing Joseph.

For the seventh time since leaving the tour, King will be involved with the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber musical when he directs and choreographs it from Feb. 2 to March 26 at Beef & Boards, 9301 Michigan Rd. There will be 56 performances in the production, sponsored in part by Current Publishing. King also directed and choreographed the musical two previous times at Beef & Boards.

“We’ve got a great cast put together,” said King, who will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first show at Beef & Boards this summer. “I try to use the personalities of the people playing the roles and see what traits they can bring to the table to add to the role. I try to personalize it to each cast member instead of saying you have to do it this way.”

Tim Wessel will perform in the title role.

King also will perform in the role of Zebulon

for one week in March.

“One of the new faces (Sean Seager) we were trying to get on the Beef & Boards stage has a conflict in the middle of the week, so I’ll sub in,” said King, who lives on the east side of Indianapolis and is on the dance faculty at Anderson University.

Real-life couple stars in ‘Rumors’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production is only a partial case of art imitating life.

Steve Kruze and his wife theater Christine will play a married couple, Glenn and Cassie Cooper, in Neil Simon’s “Rumors” from Feb. 3 to Feb. 18 at the Tarkington in Carmel.

“The couple are mad at each other the whole show,” Christine said. “We’re finding those moments when we’re trying to be nicer to each other and our director keeps saying, ‘No, no, she’s mad at him, she doesn’t want to be nice. She’s angry.’ The challenge for us is being mad at each other and fighting through the whole show.”

Steve joked he is not having the same problem.

“It’s very easy to be mad at her, it’s so easy.

I’m teasing,” Steve said. “You have arguments with people you care about. But we don’t snipe at each other like that.”

Christine said this is the first opportunity for the coupleto do a show together since they were in college. In fact, they met during rehearsals for “Twelfth Night” while at Michi-

gan State University.

“It’s been 26 years since we’ve been on stage opposite each other,” Steve said.

The couple, married for 22 years, live in Plainfield and send their kids to Avon schools.

“As our children were growing up, we didn’t want to do a show at the same time, so we would alternate a little bit (performing),” said Steve, who has one child in college and two others at Avon High School.

Steve performed in Civic’s “Young Frankenstein” last year.

Islands in the kitchen Commentary by Randy Sorrell Suddenly, the standard kitchen island is assuming considerably more significance and is anything but ... standard. It has earned more responsibility, and home improvement the design ideas are soaring.

Devin Rodgers and Lonna Heshelman, our gifted friends at Santarossa in the Indiana Design Center, tell us that islands are becoming physically larger and that the previous rules are moderating. Being bold and mixing/matching the fixtures, counters and finishes is encouraged. The island is the place to manage the evening, open a bottle of wine, have conversation and sit down for a bite.

SOAP STONE. GRANITE. QUARTZ. Our last few projects certainly echo their thoughts, as the primary kitchen cabinets have been surfaced with granite and the island with quartz. A natural wood finish on the island face is our current project's inspiration, fueled by a contrasting soapstone counter with dusty aqua hues teased out by the dramatic 1930s backsplash we rescued and are retrofitting.

UNIVERSAL EXPERTS. Houzz and Google, the unofficial experts on everything, note the movement of contrasting cabinet finishes between the island and remaining kitchen cabinets.

We’ve seen modern mixed with traditional, stained integrated with painted, stainless steel drawer pulls contrasted with rubbed bronze. And the jazzed-up examples continue to be as diverse as most of us can imagine. Of course, there are limits. Let your interior decorator tastefully guide the process of marrying the options.

Perhaps your kitchen island reflects these highly edited design possibilities. Allow it to reflect your lifestyle with personality and be anything but standard!

Reduce drying time — Dryers use a lot of energy. Here’s a trick to cut drying time considerably. Toss a dry hand towel in with each dryer load. The dry towel will absorb moisture from the wash, then dry quickly and continue to absorb more water.

Coca-Cola London Eye. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Keeping an eye on London Commentary by Don Knebel A large wheel has become one of London’s most popular attractions, identifying the city in the same way travel the Eiffel Tower identifies Paris.

It also now identifies an iconic American brand.

In 1993, Londoners were asked for ideas for a structure that would celebrate the coming millennium and could become a symbol of the city. The winner was a large Ferris wheel giving visitors an opportunity to view the city from above. On December 31, 1999, Prime Minister Tony Blair officially opened the so-called London Eye, erected along the south bank of the River Thames just north of the Palace of Westminster. When it opened, the 443-foot-tall Eye was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world.

Having since been eclipsed in height by several other wheels, it is now described as the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel.

The Eye has 32 capsules, one for each of London’s boroughs. The capsules, each capable of carrying 25 people, move at about 0.6 miles per hour. Riders enter the capsules

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

-Janice H.

while they are moving and exit 30 minutes later after a single revolution. From the glassenclosed capsules, riders, who are free to stand, get a bird’s eye view of London’s most famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the houses of Parliament. On a clear day, riders can see for more than 25 miles, about the distance to Windsor Castle. Since its opening, the Eye has carried more than 50 million riders, more than 5,000 of whom have gotten engaged during their rides.

In January 2015, London’s now iconic wheel became known as the Coca-Cola London Eye, with attendants dressed in red uniforms and the wheel bathed at night in red light. Protesters greeted the sponsorship arrangement by passing out toothbrushes, symbolizing the tooth decay they claimed was caused by consuming the sponsor’s products.

Commentary by Lorene Burkhart If you were born in my generation, between 1927 and 1945, Chuck Underwood, author of “The Generational Imperaplain talk tive,” calls you part of the Silent Generation. He says that “the Silent’s” are our nation’s last innocent generation.

Now that I have your attention, what does this generational stuff have to do with real life? Actually, the descriptions for the generations profiled in this book hit the nail on the head, from my life experiences.

Our parents, born between 1901 and 1926, were molded by world events and the economy (World War I, Great Depression and World War II). They passed on to us their resulting values of struggle and sacrifice and, finally, triumph and cohesiveness. We created our core values based on those parental experiences.

Postwar prosperity launched conformity, but the latter part of the group rocked the boat with their ideas of consumerism, feminism, civil rights and the Elvis beat of rock.

Then we produced the baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964. The first wave (19461954) were impacted by the Vietnam War, which resulted in a feeling of empowerment, “I

Have a Dream” and the consciousness movement. The second wave of boomers (1955-64) came of age during the best times in America to be a kid. They emerged with hope and unlimited opportunity.

Then they produced the GenX generation, born between 1965 and 1981. Their formative years were the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. You remember those years — prosperity and good times.

Following this group are the millennials, born between 1982 and the present. They are described as the most adult-supervised kids in American history. Result: team players, compassionate, community active with high expectations.

Having recently spent time with my boomer son, born in 1957, and his millennial son, born in 1987, I was struck by how accurately this book portrayed them. It isn’t a new release but is available on Amazon. I found it to be fascinating, especially since I’ve experienced every one of the generations described. Let’s get together and talk about it.

Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.
