Opponents question if they will be heard By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com During its first city council meeting of 2016, the newly elected body swiftly voted to unanimously pass many ordinances. politics Some disagreements were voiced and some proposals were tabled, but long gone were the split 4-3 votes and heated rhetoric of the previous council’s four years. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said this is a good thing and that not everyone will agree on everything, but he hopes there will be a “spirit of cooperation” during this next term. City Council President Ron Brainard Carter described it as “a relief” and a “breath of fresh air” compared to the previous term. Of the seven candidates that Brainard endorsed for council, six won their elections. Carol Schleif, who won her reelection but wasn’t endorsed by Brainard, voted with the rest of the group on many unanimous votes, such as turning Carmel into a second-class city and giving
the mayor the power to remove the stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Road. But some Carmel residents who have strongly disagreed with Brainard in the past now wonder if they have a voice in the current makeup of the council. “When it comes to having a voice, we saw at the recent council meeting, everything was unanimous and that begs the question, why even have a council? Just come in at October and sign off on what the mayor wants,” said Bob Wallace, who regularly speaks at council meetings. Rick Sharp, former president of the council who ran against Brainard for mayor and lost, said it’s up to the public to step up and participate in the “blue card” session of every city council meeting when the Sharp public is allowed to speak. “The blue card portion pretty much is their only voice,” he said. Kiel Kinnaman, a Carmel resident and former owner of Carmel Chatter, an online forum for community debate, said he’s taken a step back
from local politics because he admits it can be discouraging at times. He has publicly disagreed with Brainard on several issues, including Carmel’s debt, but he said he hopes the new councilors will be independent thinkers and not just pass anything that the mayor wants. “It’s kind of, ‘wait and see’ right now for me,” he said. Some, like Wallace, admit they feel slightly disengaged because they think most of Brainard’s proposals will pass with ease, regardless of what he says during the public portion section. “I’m debating with myself about whether to stay engaged,” he said. “The civic-minded part of me tells me to stay engaged. The realist part of me asks why I would keep bumping my head against the wall?” Councilor Sue Finkam said she encourages anyone with an opinion to call or e-mail any of the councilors, including herself. She said transparency is important and even those who disagree will be heard. She said the public will find that the council won’t agree on some matters and the council won’t immediately pass everything the mayor supports.

A plan to offer a $2,500 signing bonus to new bus drivers is on hold after several members of the Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees voiced various contransportation cerns about the proposal. Some said the dollar amount was too high or the three month payout was too soon, while others questioned if it would cause tension with the district’s existing bus drivers or lure others away from nearby school districts. Bob Dyer, vice president of the Carmel Clay Schools Bus Drivers Association, expressed similar concerns during the public comment portion of the meeting. “Paying it out in three months, we’d be like the Quicken Loans. It’s kind of silly, paying it out that fast,” Dyer said. “If a bonus is necessary,

Carmel gear sent to Serbia By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com When Carmel resident Rade Savich heard through social media that a group of young children in Serbia needed equipment for their small baseball league, he baseball knew he wanted to help. Savich has kept in touch with his homeland through his involvement with Lifeline Humanitarian Organization over the years, providing assistance to children residing in orphanages. Although the organization typically send donations of medical supplies, clothing and necessities, space in one recent shipment was allowed for the baseball gear that Savich collected. He originally put the word out through family and friends that he was looking for donations. Then he reached out to the Carmel Dads’ Club. The Dads’ Club was able to produce a bounty of used and surplus gear for Savich’s endeavor — including bats, helmets, shirts and catcher’s equipment. “If you give this to another baseball league (locally), they’re not going to wear something that says Carmel on it. But to a kid in Serbia, if a shirt says Carmel on it, or a hat says Nissan, it doesn’t matter to them. It’s baseball gear.” Savich said. “(Dads’ Club President Jack Beery)

cleaned up their warehouses and let me have it all, and we shipped it to the kids over there.” Savich said his long-term dream is to help the growing league raise funds and eventually purchase a van. Because of the low participation in the sport in Serbia, teams travel to neighboring countries seeking competition for tournaments. He hopes to round up another shipment of baseball gear, and potentially American football gear, in early 2016. “It’s pretty cool that it was a small gesture here, but it’s really huge in the hearts of the people and the kids over there,” Savich said. “We’re all trying to get the kids, whether over here or over there, to do better, and have some kind of hope for good things for them.”
‘Blue School’ Carmel’s first By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com Monday morning blues might have been an apt description for students attending Carmel High School in the back in the day late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their classes were held in a building nicknamed the Blue School. The origin of the name has not been recorded. The location is known, however, with boundaries of First Avenue Southeast on the east, South Street Southeast on the south and Range Line Road on the west. Although the Blue School was built as the town’s first high school in 1887, the education system began much earlier. The first school was started in a one-room log church on the northeast corner of Range Line Road and Smokey Row Road in late 1833 or 1834. Other structures followed as the need developed. The Blue School experienced several improvements during the years. But by 1921, the Blue School was abandoned because a new school for students in all grades was built at the corner of East Main Street and Fourth

Its usefulness ended in 1958 when a new high school was built at its current location. The Blue School saw its last days. The new school expanded as the population grew.

Among the 33 athletes honored were Macie DeLillo, a fifth grader at Mohawk Trails Elementary School, and Anna Christie, a seventh grader at Clay Middle School. Both DeLillo and Christie have competed in the Carmel Distance Project, an offseason running club, and Carmel Pups. The foundation built by these youth clubs has allowed these two athletes to develop a strong love for running that matches their talents. Twelve-year-old Christie, who won the girls 11-12 Athlete of the Year, has been running since fourth grade. Winner of both the Indiana and Region 7 Junior Olympic titles; she also finished eleventh in the Indiana Middle School Championships and third in the Hamilton Co.

They will proudly be wearing USA across their chests and compete against all other international cheerleading teams,” said Lisa Knipp, who coached the girls at CHS. “This accomplishment is staggering when you consider there are approximately 400,000 cheerleaders in the U.S. and these Carmel athletes are two of the 37 females talented enough to represent our country in the sport they love.” Both girls are members of the IU cheerleading team that recently won its fourth national title for Division 1-A at the UCA College Cheer and Dance Championships at Disney World’s Field House, beating out rivals from the University of Alabama.

In the Studio with Barry Lantz By Carolyn Martens
A nationally known interior designer, Barry Lantz creates paintings that radiate color and feeling. How would you describe your art? “I paint with acrylic on canvas. My work usually blends well with any design period – everything from contemporary to traditional. While the subject is mostly understated, the colors are very clear and vibrant.” What’s your process? “First I decide on color and size. I may be in a blue mood or a pink mood. Then I mix many shades of the overall background color and begin brushing and stroking. Within the background, a subject emerges for me, and I bring that subject forward and enhance it. The rhythm of the background and subject become more prominent as I progress. Lastly, I shade and texture the colors.” How do you display your art? “The key to well-displayed art is light. Secondly, it should be hung at the appropriate height in relationship to the furniture and its

Improv troupe honored By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com The Roundabout Playback Troupe has barely been around for one year, but the group of actors is already winning awards for its unique methods. achievement Michelle Yadon, inclusion supervisor for the Monon Community Center, created the group in late 2014. It allows participants – with and without disabilities – to act out stories suggested by audience members. Recently, the troupe accepted an honor from the Indiana Governor’s Council for Disability Awareness for its good work. More recently, the troupe also found out that it received the Indiana Parks and Recreation Association Inclusion Program of Excellence Award. They were honored at an awards banquet Jan. 13 in Bloomington. Yadon studied drama therapy at Kansas State University. That’s where she learned about playback theatre. “It’s a form of theatre where audience members tell their stories and a troop of actors act those stories out,” she said. “Sometimes playback is just done for performance, or sometimes it’s done in therapy. We do it for advocacy and performance.” Yadon has seen the affect the troupe has on its members. “I just saw how powerful it was, how

people had an increase in communication, abstract thinking, understanding of self, selfdetermination and self-confidence. It was also really amazing because when we would rehearse, it wasn’t apparent who had a disability and who didn’t,” she said. The group performs each March as part of Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation’s Disability Awareness Campaign. The troupe’s name pays homage to Carmel. “We thought the name would be something specific to Carmel since we have so many roundabouts. Also, because playback is kind of like a roundabout. There are stories that are coming in and out,” Yadon said. The group’s next performance will be March 18 and 19 at the Monon Community Center. For more, visit carmelclayparks.com.

Carmel orthodontist Neil Lipken lives for Groundhog Day By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In the movie “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray plays a Pittsburgh TV weatherman who goes through a personal hell as he keeps reliving the same Feb. 2 over and over again. That would be heaven for Dr. Neil Lipken. Groundhog Day is the Carmel orthodontist’s favorite day of the year. “It’s like Christmas for him,” said his long-suffering assistant Gloria Johnson, who has learned to make eye-rolling an art form over the years. “We celebrate it two or three months ahead. And it’s not like we don’t talk about it year-round.” Lipken, a 65-year-old Carmel resident, has been interested in the weather since his high school days. He wears a barometer on his watch. “I took up the groundhog thing when I was finishing up dental school,” Lipken said. “It really wasn’t related to my interest in the weather, because his accuracy is so terrible.” Legend has it that if a groundhog comes out of his burrow and sees his shadow on Feb. 2, that means six more weeks of winter. If it’s cloudy, and he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early. Punxsutawney Phil, the famous Pennsylvania groundhog, has been making predictions since 1887. Stormfax. com determines his predictions have been right just 39 percent of the time. No matter, that hasn’t diminished Lipken’s love for the furry creatures. “It was just mainly because he was cute and adorable and short,” he said. “I’m 5’6”. I love anyone shorter than I am, whether it’s rodents, little kids, small dogs.” Lipken said his aliases are Rochester the Rodent and Fred the Groundhog.
“If the truth was known, I am actually a large rodent in a human suit,” said Lipken, who readily admits to being eccentric. Lipken said one reason he is so obsessed with groundhogs is that other than Bill Murray, “no one has paid them much attention.” Visitors to his Carmel office are greeted by a stuffed groundhog. “We’ve had a few patients that just kind of back up when they see it,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if we have had any animal activists complain.” Johnson explained a patient’s father shot the groundhog and another patient’s father was a taxidermist. They surprised Lipken with a birthday present many years ago. She said those patients who live on farms know that groundhogs cause a lot of damage, so they need to get rid of them. “A lot of people say, ‘Hey, I got (groundhogs) in my yard, how many do you want?” Johnson said. Lipken’s office is saturated with numerous pictures of groundhogs, stuffed toy furry animals and a groundhog flag. The orthodontist used to dress up in a furry rodent suit on Groundhog Day. His favorite Groundhog Day was when he wore a tuxedo and went to visit a groundhog at the Indianapolis Zoo. He helped convince Camel Mayor Jim Brainard to join him for a brief Groundhog Day parade in 1999. Now most years, he just wears a sweatshirt with a groundhog. Each year his wife, Cynthia, makes Groundhog Day cupcakes, with a chocolate groundhog coming out of the icing. Lipken figures he picked the right profession for his passion. After graduating from Indiana University in 1972, Lipken went to medical school for 2 1/2 years before transferring to dental school. He graduated from the IU School of Dentistry in 1977 and then went to orthodontic graduate school. Giving up medical school was a good thing, Lipken figures.

“If I was an oncologist, I’d say, ‘Well you got liver cancer, but the good news, today is Groundhog Day,’” Lipken said. “That wouldn’t have flown too well.” Plus groundhogs could use some braces for those buck teeth. “They could use some head gear, but we might never be able to get them to wear it,” Lipken said.
In his words: Dr. Neil Lipken

Banks sometimes get confused and put down my birthday as 1850. I am no spring chicken, but I am not fossilized either.” Favorite movie: “You would think ‘Groundhog Day,’
and it’s certainly in the top 10. I’m not sure it’s my favorite movie. It is good movie. “Jesus of Nazareth” (1977). In my opinion, it was the best biblical movie ever made.” On his philosophy: “I definitely embrace the bizarre — I never want to be normal.” Favorite team: “Indiana University basketball and football, and I always root against Purdue.”

Too much attention
FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P Relinquishing reins once more Last year, we wrote in this space about how we were turning our editorial management over to one among our news team, Sophie Pappas, now our editorial director. It was difficult to let go, but the results of our decision couldn’t have worked out better. Now we find ourselves in the same boat with respect to our revenue operation. It is as near and dear to us as editorial and our team are. But if we were honest with ourselves, and we are, it became apparent it was time to step back from that part of the business, too. We’re growing, and we believe we can grow a whole lot better by relinquishing the day-to-day management of sales to a proven professional. So that’s what we decided to Sonoga do, and as of Feb. 1, Marka Sonoga is our first sales manager. She comes to us from El Dorado, Ark., where she was the advertising director, having previously served in a similar capacity in LaGrange, Ga. Prior to that, she was involved in ad sales for print and television in Youngstown, Ohio. Needless to say, we’re excited to have her aboard. We have tasked Marka with building a newer and improved sales culture here, a challenge she readily accepts. You’ll find her out in the community as often as in the office, because she wants to become immersed in all the goingson. It’s striking and energizing to sit back and realize how far this company has come with the help of incredibly talented people and valued advertising partners. We anticipate Marka only will add to it. You may reach her at marka@youarecurrent.com or 317.489.4444.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Line of sight Commentary by Terry Anker As he often does, a good friend forwarded a quote via email designed to both break-up the day and to inspire a contemplative moment. In his book adapted from a series of wartime BBC interviews, “Mere Christianity,” C.S. Lewis said “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” The leading advocate at the time for a reasoned defense of the faith, Lewis brought attention to the universal longing of humankind. Whether one conforms with the view that our lives on this Earth are inconsequential to the ones that will follow in heaven, most of us experience some sense of isolation and lack of belonging. Our relationships, our careers, and even our own self-worth, at times seem to elude satisfaction. Luckily, the sensation ebbs and flows for the majority. Yet for some, a constant pall of loneliness hangs on to them. We need more. We
need better. We need different! So, how do we satiate our desires without, if we follow Lewis’s argument, dying? Moreover, doesn’t a healthy sense of aspiration lift us all? Certainly, we should find our center – our point on the horizon – and cling to it. What in our lives is it that matters most? My wise spouse once proclaimed, “You are most happy about tomorrow when you are a bit unhappy about today.” She is right. Some need to long for improvement today if they hope to achieve it tomorrow. It keeps the line of sight off of our shoes and out in front. Is it more important to know (or imagine) where we are going than to know (or imagine) where we are? Today may be filled with limitations, but tomorrow is abundant with opportunity. Isn’t that where we really belong? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. – Will Rogers
I don’t know about most women, but I appreciate the occasional catcall. A hearty whistle from the construchumor tion site as I jog by. An enthusiastic honk from the landscape truck as I idle at a stoplight. Even the mall vendor touting his perfume with, “Hey, beautiful lady!” At my age, I feel any unsolicited attention paid to a gal in sweatpants or a minivan is cause for celebration. Yay, me! I haven’t completely fallen apart! But some guys take it too far. I was at the grocery store the other day and because, for once, I was child and husband free, I decided to use a holiday gift card at the Starbucks counter for a coffee. Unfortunately, a sign indicated that the Meijer employee-turned-barista had stepped away for a moment, and so I had nothing to do but stand there and wait. Enter a man to my left, sauntering out of produce and right up next to me. We’re the only two people in this section of the store, but he comes to rest less than a foot away. Personal space was clearly not on his radar. We exchanged pleasantries, and because I’m nice, I answered his questions about the order I would hopefully be placing soon. Then he starts dropping comments like, “This is the most enjoyable wait I’ve had in a while, next to a pretty woman like you,” and “You’re so nice, I hope we’re here a while longer.” I’m super uncomfortable, but I also really want a latte. And he’s still standing like 10 inches from me. Finally the counter reopens. Again, my politeness sabotages by efforts at disinterest and forces me to engage my “admirer.” I offer to let him order first since he is only getting a muffin. His reply is “No, because then I’d be denied the pleasure of your company.” Had this been an elderly man and a harmless flirtation, I would have played right along. But actually being hit on by a middle-aged stranger at the coffee shop was too much. Just give me the impersonal catcalls from afar! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

‘Giant cinnamon rolls’ blocking visibility at roundabout
Now Hiring
Carmels Newest McDonald's 116th and Illinois (The Bridges)
Editor, I was just wondering if Cinnabon or Pillsbury was sponsoring those giant, concrete cinnamon rolls on the Main Street and Keystone roundabout? You know, the ones that are obstructing everyone's view of traffic. It used to be grass. Now it is a concrete swirl on each end. Since I pass it every day about 6:45 a.m. – before breakfast – they look an awful lot like giant concrete cinnamon rolls. They block visibility, just like some of the other art and structures in Carmel. I find it ironic that the city removes people's garage sale signs because they block visibility, and yet they erect giant concrete structures such as these and the gateway to the Arts and Design District by the library. The only reason I could see behind these visual barriers to traffic visibility would be corporate sponsorship. That leads me back to my original point

of sarcasm. Or perhaps these are a Star Wars reference to the hair buns on the original Princess Leia? Now Disney would definitely be a good corporate sponsor. Unless these are sponsored, it is a huge waste of money that would be better spent to improve that particular roundabout. If you get on from Keystone northbound to go west on Main Street, you have to immediately swing wide to get into the far lane so you can go straight onto Main Street. I just hope they don't waste money like this at 126th Street, because the neighbors and I (who pay taxes here) use those grassy roundabouts every Fourth of July to watch the Carmelfest fireworks.

You gotta bleeve! Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The book is titled “Why Hoosiers Can’t Pronounce ‘Indianapolis.’” I skimmed through it and recalled interviewing the humor author, Dr. John Terhune, on my TV segment about 15 years ago. John is a local chiropractor who spent part of his life boning up on how people, specifically Hoosiers, talk. John’s contention is that Hoosiers have created and speak a “new global language” by combining words into nifty little linguistic packages. “People in other states also run words together occasionally,” he said, “but Hoosiers are way bedderdnat.” (better than that). Hoosiers reduce the number of syllables in a word, which gives them mordnenuf (more than enough) time to watch baskaball (basketball). If you are innersted (interested), you can listen to the book’s accompanying CD that provides hunnerds (hundreds) of additional samples. But the most fun is John’s artful analysis of the variety of ways our city’s name is pronounced. Below are more than a dozen examples that John collected over the years. • ANNAPLUS (Stephen Goldsmith, former mayor) • ANYANAPPLES (Dan Quayle, former VP) • ANYNAPLUS (Goldsmith, again) • ENGINEAPLUS (Anyone from Speedway) • INDANAPLUS (Dick Crum, Dr. Dirt) • INIANAPLUS (Bart Peterson, former Inianaplus mayor) • INDINAPLUS (Paul Helmke, former Fort Wayne, mayor) • INDYPLUS (Angela Buchman, WTHR) • ININAPLUS (Bill Benner, former Star reporter) • INNAPLUS (Dave “the King” Wilson and Bobby “Slick” Leonard) • INNYNAPLUS (Tom Griswold of Bob and Tom) • INYUNAPLUS (Pam Elliot, former WISH-TV anchor) • NNAPLUS (Ray Compton, formerly with the Nnaplus Colts) We were going to donate our copy of the book to the libary (library), but Mary Ellen said we should keep it as a reference for outof-state visitors. “I was just thinking that,” I told her. Of course, what I really said was: auzhusinkinat. Whydoncha get a copy for yourself? Email: DrTerhune@att.net Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

Carmel concert will be homecoming for 2 Another Round members By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Another Round’s appearance in Carmel will be especially meaningful for members Mike Phipps and Jordan Ehrlich. “Apart from holiday shows at private events at people’s homes, this will be the first public show we’ve had music in Carmel, so that’s exciting,” Phipps said. Another Round, Indiana University’s men’s a cappella group, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 140. The group was known as Straight No Chaser until the name was changed for the collegiate group in 2012. The group was founded in 1996 by Dan Ponce and several friends from the Singing Hoosiers. The original group reformed in 2008 and toured as Straight No Chaser. Phipps is a senior at IU and Ehrlich is a sophomore. They were members together in Carmel High School’s Ambassadors in 2011-12. “It’s been really interesting being part of a group that built such a legacy before I even came into the group,” Ehrlich said. “I had no idea at all what I was getting into when I joined but since being in it, it feels like a huge opportunity has been presented to me that I never knew existed. The fact that we were able to travel out to Colorado because we had made a connection with Isle of Capri Casino (in November). Just opportunities to perform that I didn’t even know I’d be able to do. It’s been a lot of fun.” Ehrlich said Phipps was one of his best friends when they were in the Ambassadors. “I never paid much attention to him being in Another Round until that summer going into my freshman year,” Ehrlich said. “He started to talk more in depth about it and it really intrigued me. It’s really entirely because of Mike that I auditioned for the group.” Another Round performs a variety of hits from Motown classics to Justin Bieber. “I think my favorite is ‘Stand by Me,’” Phipps said. Ehrlich’s favorite is “Lean on Me,” which the group always sings at get-togethers with former members or when new members join. “The Motown classics are some of the most fun songs to do,” Ehrlich said. “When you see someone in the audience singing along with you, that’s a lot of fun to do. When we sing ‘My Girl’ people really get into that. Any time an audience really loves a song, that’s my favorite, too.” Phipps, a 2012 Carmel High School graduate, joined early in his freshman year at IU. “I think it’s pretty special that this group of guys has become my best friends,” Phipps said. “We’re normal college guys and all of sudden we perform all these shows, we feel pretty lucky to do that. We’ve just had a blast doing it all these

CHS to present ‘Romeo and Juliet’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School senior Aaron Guevara knew the role he wanted when auditions started. theater “‘Romeo and Juliet’ is one of the greatest plays of all time,” Guevara said. “Since this was my last performance I really wanted to play the lead one so I’m happy it turned out that way.” Sophomore Anja Reese will play opposite Guevara Reese when Carmel High School presents “Romeo and Juliet” Feb. 4-6 in the auditorium. Guevara said this is his first lead role since playing the lead role in “Peter Pan” as a Creekside Middle School eighth grader. “I always like new challenges especially when it comes to theater and this is an entirely new thing,” Guevara said of his first Shakespeare play. Reese said she is embracing her first experience with Shakespeare. “I’m really enjoying getting to know the language and learning how to bring it to life,” Reese said. Reese is a member of the Accents, CHS’s all

female choir. “The reason I started to do drama is I was so interested in music and the two go handin-hand,” Reese said. Director Maggie Cassidy said it is the first time she has directed Shakespeare at CHS. “We’re setting it in a modern time period to make it more accessible for the teenagers who are going to come see it,” Cassidy said. “It throws people off when you have those big poofy dresses from the Elizabethan time period. It is so stuffy that it seems boring. It’s Shakespeare words with a modern twist.” The play will be a 90-minute version adapted by Butler University professor Diane Timmerman. The performances will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 4, 5 and 6 with a 2 p.m. on Feb. 6. Tickets are $10. To purchase tickets, visit ticketracker. com.

More semi-homemade Super Bowl food By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley We came up with this recipe because every Super Bowl party needs a platter of sandwiches that is expandable, tasty and easy. Looking for a more intense flavor, we made brats cooked in beer and special spices, served on kraut. To make the plate expandable for larger amounts of guests and for children, we cooked up some precooked stadium brats, and for the kids, apple chicken sausages. All the extra sausages should be browned in a separate skillet and placed on the bed of kraut as needed. The brats with kraut make a very satisfying sandwich if you crave German/Polish flavor Americanized. We love this dish served on poppy seed rolls with spicy mustard. Ingredients: • 1/8 teaspoon crushed celery seeds • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder • 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar • 1/2 cup sour cream • 1 pound fresh Johnsonville Original Bratwurst • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer • 32 oz. jar of Vlasic Polish Sauerkraut, drained • Extra sausages – Johnsonville Stadium Style Cooked Brats and Johnsonville Apple Chicken Sausage Links (cooked) Preparation: Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet and brown each side gently over medium heat. Mix together beer and dry ingredients in a bowl, making sure the brown sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover the skillet and raise heat to gently

boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, for about 15 minutes. Roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated on all sides. Transfer brats to a platter and keep them warm. Add the sauerkraut and sour cream to the skillet and to mix with leftover sauce, stir fry 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add more sausages until everyone has had his or her fill.

Doubt: A popular theme on stage Column courtesy of Civic Theatre In some circumstances, we may never learn the truth. The feelings of uncertainty and ambiguity have performance been a common topic in pop culture, such as in the renowned podcast “Serial” and the explosive Netflix series “Making a Murderer.” It is part of human nature to obsess over uncovering the truth and bringing the guilty to justice. However, quick judgments and corruption can be disastrous for the wrongly accused, while not acting on a suspicion can be just as catastrophic for an innocent bystander. This theme is prevalent in Civic Theatre’s fourth Mainstage production this season, “Doubt: A Parable.” John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning dramatic play first appeared off-Broadway in 2004, eventually making it to the Great White Way in 2005. In 2008, it was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film. Each season, Civic Theatre strives to produce a thought-provoking, intellectual play that challenges audiences to think differently about their surrounding environment. “Doubt” accomplishes this mission with the

story of a Catholic school in the Bronx during the fall of 1964. It is the story of tradition and vigilance seen in the school’s principal, Sister Aloysius, questioning the motives behind progression and acceptance as presented by the parish priest, Father Flynn. “Doubt requires more courage than conviction does, and more energy; because conviction is a resting place and doubt is infinite – it is a passionate exercise,” stated playwright Shanley.

Jazzing it up at Palladium By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com One is equipped with a saxophone, the other is a jazz guitarist. John Scofield and Joe Lovano will be passing music through Carmel and performing at the Palladium at 8 p.m. Feb. 6. “It is an all-star group,” said Doug Tatum, vice president of programming at The Center for the Performing Arts. “John Scofield and Joe Lovano are both legendary jazz musicians and band leaders each leading their own group. It’s a rare combination to see two band leaders coming together to form a superstar quartet.” Tatum highlighted that in addition to Lovano and Scofield, Ben Street will perform bass and Bill Stewart will be on the drums. Lovano, who hails from Cleveland, draws both past and present music into his performances. Tatum said that Scofield emerged in the late 1980s and plays his jazz guitar with a rock sounding touch. “It’s a unique combination of new and old in his play and he can shift gears in a split second to draw upon whatever inspires him in the moment,” Tatum said of Lovano’s sax playing. “With John Scofield, you have this rock sounding guitar in a jazz group so it

Veal scaloppine marsala
Commentary by Ceci Martinez
Tonight my husband is treating us with a very special dinner at home for Valentine’s Day. Veal Scaloppine Marsala, one of his favorite dishes, is a mouth-watering classic. Notes: Proper cooking of scaloppine (Italian for “thin cut”) should produce a tender meat. Don’t cook scaloppine in sauce as it will toughen up. To stem shiitake mushrooms pinch off stem from its base. Serves: 4 / Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 pound veal scaloppine, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 red onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup), 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut in half, 1 1/2 cups medium sweet marsala wine, 3 tablespoons low-fat half-and-half, 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of unbleached white flour, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary Directions: Season the scaloppine on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat half olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Quickly sear the scaloppine on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer veal to a platter. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the onion and mushroom and cook over medium heat until just beginning to brown,

about 4 minutes. Add marsala, half-and-half, butter and flour; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until sauce is reduced and thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary. Reinforce the marsala flavor by adding a fresh splash at the end. Transfer scaloppine to sauce, sprinkle with rosemary and serve at once.

Teens and alcohol: Parental tips Commentary by Mary Ian McAteer, M.D. Teen alcohol use remains a serious problem. Peer pressure can be a strong influence for teenagers underage drinking in a time of life when “being an adult” takes on greater importance. With more teens dying each year in alcohol-related car accidents and evidence that suggests those who start drinking at an early age are more likely to misuse alcohol later in life, parents need to focus on ways they can help their children make good decisions about alcohol. Talk about it. Parents can begin talking with their children about drinking in an ageappropriate way as early as fourth or fifth grade. As children reach the teenage years, conversations should become more frequent and point to specific dangers, such as impaired judgement, slower reaction time and the risk of misuse or addiction. Be a good role model. Parents are powerful role models. Children will learn a lot about drinking — responsibly or irresponsibly — by
watching their parents. Parents send messages to their children when they drink at a friend’s house and then drive home or come in the door after a hard day at work and immediately pour a glass of wine. Establish firm rules about drinking. Underage drinking is illegal — even in private homes with adult supervision. To protect your family, rules about underage drinking in the home should be no different than the law. Lovingly communicate this to your children, and be sure they understand the consequences. Stay involved. Know your teenager’s friends and their parents. Pay attention to changes in attitude or behavior, including declining school performance or hesitancy to bring new friends to the house, which may signal alcohol use or other problems.

Weight loss story inspiring others By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com As a working mother of 16-year-old twins, Kim Keck figured being overweight and in less-than-perfect health achievement were just part of life as a busy mom. But after a visit to her doctor showed her cholesterol levels spiking, she said she decided her family was the biggest reason she needed to make some lifestyle changes. “We always use the excuses that we’re busy, we’re taking care of our families, we’re taking care of our jobs,” said Keck, 44. “We always put ourselves last as moms. We’ve got to stop putting ourselves last and start putting ourselves toward the top of the list. Your kids are your future, and you’ve got to be able to be here for your kids.” The Carmel resident went on a low-carb diet and dropped 50 pounds in six months. She has been selected to represent the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign in 2016 through the “Real Women. Real Change.” program. She is the winner in the self-nominated category and will be featured on a billboard and appear at the Red Dress Dash Feb. 5 in downtown Indianapolis and the Go Red for Women Luncheon Feb. 19.
Kim Keck has lost 50 pounds by making healthier food choices and taking time to walk at her office. (Submitted photos)
Keck, a 1990 Carmel High School graduate, heard about the AHA campaign through St.Vincent in Carmel, where she works as a solutions development analyst. She said she doesn’t have time to commit to a workout program, so every day she walks around the atrium in her office building. That’s the only exercise she’s added to her lifestyle. For Keck, the changes have affected the entire family. “My husband also started the diet at the same time as me, which was huge, because he has also lost 50 pounds,” Keck said. “He does all the cooking in the house, so we kind of support each other.”

Eric Murphy has always been a big proponent of specialty condiments. So the 2009 Carmel High School graduate starting writing a blog about new biz condiments after graduating from Indiana University with a business degree in 2013. “When you walk into a condiment aisle at a grocery store, it is really overwhelming,” Murphy said. “You see so many different products and so many different brands, and the only ones you really know are the big-name labels that everyone trusts. The whole idea of the blog is I would rate and review condiments from retailers and then from different restaurants around the country. So it could be more of a central rating for condiment ratings and reviews.” Murphy, 25, then decided it could turn his condiment passion into a business venture, selling condiment specialty boxes called Condiment Connection from different cities. He started out with Indianapolis and Chicago condiment boxes for sale, beginning Nov. 25. Murphy rolled out the Cincinnati version, including Montgomery Inn barbecue sauce and Skyline Chili, in mid-January. Buffalo and New York City editions will be rolled out next. St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will follow, along with several others. There also will be a build-your-own-box with any four condiments. “It’s just not economical for a consumer to buy one condiment from me because it would

cost them $15 to $20, so the way I get around it is bundling, so I put them together,” he said. I also wanted to have it at a price people are comfortable with to send as a gift, so that’s in the $30 to $50 price range.” The boxes retail for $39.95. The Indianapolis box contains St. Elmo’s cocktail sauce, Squealers Smokin’ Hot BBQ Sauce, Best Boy Bourbon Barrel Carmel Sauce and LocalFolks Stone-Ground Mustard. Murphy said for each city he is evaluating eight to 10 condiments to select four that meet qualifications. Murphy, who lives in downtown Indianapolis, uses the basement in his parents’ Carmel home to store the inventory and ship his items. Murphy said most of the business so far has been customers buying the boxes as gifts. Murphy has worked for International Medical Group since September. “I tell people I have an 8 to 5 job, and then I come home and have an 8 to 12 (job),” Murphy said. If his Condiment Connection catches on, it will be well worth it, Murphy figures. For more, visit condimentconnection.com.

Consignment store moves into new space on Carmel Drive

Sold Carmel Homes (10 Years) *Home Prices From 250K - 1M*
By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
Earlier in 2015, Amanda Newman was facing a decision. She owned three conrelocation signment shops in Carmel: Amanda’s City-Chic Consignment along Range Line Road, The District ExChange on Main Street and Carmel Consignment on Meridian Street. One of the locations, Amanda’s City-Chic, which focused on furniture, needed to be relocated since the building was going to be demolished in 2016 to make way for Justin Moffett’s $100-million-plus transformation of the Midtown area. Another location focused on ladies’ clothing had its lease up. But the answer seemed to present itself. She said the perfect location opened up at 715 E. Carmel Dr. Now she’s relocated all three stores into that one space, located near Keystone Avenue, and renamed it Amanda’s Exchange. “It’s something we wanted to do for a few years,� Newman, who owns it with her husband Jeff, said. “With the lease coming due on our ladies’ store and the upcoming Midtown project, we started looking aggressively, and we found the perfect location and it’s been the best decision. The visibility and traffic is great. There’s plenty of space and parking. Our existing customers are happy, and we’re getting lots of new customers as well.� Newman said customers like making one trip, which means more business for her company. “It’s more convenient for customers since everything is under one roof,� she said. “It’s kind of one stop.�
Amanda’s Exchange on Carmel Drive. (Photo by Adam Aasen)
Having everything under one roof allowed Amanda’s to extend the hours until 8 p.m. and maximize staff efficiency. Newman used to split her time between the three locations, and now she can stay in one place. It saves money on marketing, utilities and other expenses. The store’s hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. The new space is just under 11,000 square feet, which provides room for all three stores without paying an arm and a leg for storage, she said. Newman also owns a men’s consignment shop in Indianapolis, and that will remain separate. She said Carmel is the perfect market for consignment, which allows people to buy and sell used items. “It’s something that Carmel needs,� she said. “We need a place to sell items but also a place to buy great finds at an affordable price.� For more, visit AmandasExchange.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Functional kitchen with a view Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to achieve a functional space for both everyday living and entertaining. 1. The new kitchen cabinetry added significant storage to the room. They especially love the accessories. The homeowners were able to find a home for the items stored in the garage and even items from a storage unit. 2. The cooktop in the new, larger island provides a great place for cooking, especially when entertaining. 3. A second island with significant seating was designed to be close to the new windows, overlooking the scenic reservoir. 4. Traditional materials such as the wood-look tile floor and glossy blue-green backsplash tile coordinate with the rest of the home, and flow with the theme of the water. 5. With the many cabinet glass inserts, the homeowners love that they can now display inherited items that have been in storage for several years!
Before Background Info: This home on Geist Reservoir in the Ashford Point neighborhood was built in 1998. The homeowners have lived there for 14 years but their home lacked the functionality and updates they needed for their family.
Before problems: The kitchen was not user-friendly or efficient. There was limited countertop space and cabinet storage. They kept several items in the garage that ultimately became a hassle when needed for cooking. They also do a lot of entertaining with family and friends that the space did not function well for.

Gender-neutral ‘they’ comes into its own
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
If you caught my last column, you will recall my bemusement – and horror – at an emoji being chosen “Word of grammar Guy the Year” by Oxford Dictionaries. Fortunately, the American Dialect Society provided us with a much better choice: singular, genderneutral “they.” This is a great choice for a host of reasons, but primarily because it recognizes the natural evolution of the word. This is how people talk. You want to use “they” as a singular, gender-neutral pronoun – and most of you probably do already. It saves us as speakers and writers from awkward “he/she” constructions. It also has the benefit, as the American Dialect Society notes, of respecting folks who make the conscious choice of “rejecting the traditional gender binary of he and she.”
I’ll let the American Dialect Society explain further: “The use of singular ‘they’ builds on centuries of usage, appearing in the work of writers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen. In 2015, singular ‘they’ was embraced by the Washington Post style guide. Bill Walsh, copy editor for the Post, described it as ‘the only sensible solution to English’s lack of a genderneutral third-person singular personal pronoun.’” As a grammar enthusiast – and someone who writes upward of a dozen news articles a day where the gender of a subject isn’t always known – I think it’s great. And, you know, at least it’s not an emoji.
This is a great choice for a host of reasons, but primarily because it recognizes the natural evolution of the word.

Façade of Jaipur’s Palace of the Winds. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Palace of the Winds Commentary by Don Knebel Jaipur, in northwest India, is known today as the “Pink City.” Ironically, its most famous pink structure was designed in travel service of modesty. Jaipur was a planned city, constructed between 1727 and 1733 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who became ruler of India’s Amber Kingdom at age 11. Unlike earlier Indian cities, Jaipur’s streets were laid out on a grid. The city, which became the capital of Jai Singh’s kingdom, was originally surrounded by a wall entered through one of seven gates. In the eighteenth century, Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Jai Singh, faced a dilemma. The ladies of his large harem were prohibited from being seen in public, at least without their faces covered. But they begged to be allowed to observe the festivities on the colorful street near the palace. In 1799, Pratap Singh found a solution. He erected a 50-foot-high screen of red and pink sandstone adjacent the palace. The baroque façade of the screen, containing 953 windows, suppos-
edly suggests the peacock feathers of the crown of Krishna, a popular Hindu deity. A honeycomb of rooms behind the small windows allows members of the harem to sit or stand unseen while gazing toward the street below. The upper three stories are just one room deep, while the two lower stories open onto courtyards. Ramps connect the five levels. The design and placement of the protruding windows facilitate the flow of cooling air throughout the structure, giving it the name “Hawa Mahal,” the “Palace of the Winds.” Jaipur has been known as the Pink City since 1876, when English Prince Edward (later King Edward VII) made an official visit. In advance of his arrival, city officials emulated the famous Palace of the Winds by painting many of the city’s stucco buildings pink.
