Carmel Muslims: ‘We have a real desire to be here’

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Waled Hassan and his wife, Wafa Safi, moved to northwest Carmel in 2008. They love the area but drive 30 to 45 UPDATE minutes to Fishers almost daily.

Safi teaches biology and environmental science at Hamilton Southeastern High School, and the mosque they regularly attend is in Fishers, the Al-Huda Foundation at 12201 Lantern Rd. “Practically, our whole daily routine is in Fishers, and we finally said, ‘Let’s move to Fishers,’ but we couldn’t bring ourselves to do that because we truly want to stay in Carmel,” Safi said. “We love it here. We have a real desire to be here.”

That’s why it’s so important to Hassan and Safi to see a mosque built in Carmel. Safi said it’s “discouraging” to see dozens of churches and other religious facilities nearby but none for the Islamic community to meet except for the small offices of the Al Salam Foundation on the north side of Indianapolis at 9517 Valparaiso Ct. They love going there, but it’s not a true center for worship.

“Even when they first opened about five years ago, they always said, ‘This is temporary. We’re hoping to find a place within a year,’” Safi said.

Now, members of the Al Salam Foundation believe they’ve found a permanent home, but they’re receiving pushback from some in the community. They want to build an Islamic Life

Al Salam’s Islamic Life Center has been proposed near 141st St. and Shelborne Road. (Submitted photo)

Center at 141st Street and Shelborne Road — less than a block from where Hassan and Safi live — but some neighboring residents oppose construction because they say the building is too big and would have a negative effect on traffic and noise, among other issues.

About 300 people attended a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting Jan. 22 to discuss the matter, but not everyone was given a chance to speak, so a second meeting was scheduled for 6 p.m. Feb. 26 at The Palladium. The BZA will decide whether to grant a special use for the property, which would allow Al Salam to build on the land. The site is zoned S-1, a residential designation.

Neighbors and some members of the Carmel City Council have spoken against the proposed mosque, saying it’s too big for the space, but Hassan said that about two thirds of the 15 acres would remain green space

because of a gas line easement on the property. He also said that Al Salam is committed to working with neighbors to make everyone happy and that nothing is set in stone.

Safi said the 15-acre parcel isn’t big enough to build a neighborhood of homes similar to the $700,000 houses nearby. She said her father was a builder, so she expects that if a mosque or a church isn’t allowed then a likely option could be condominiums or smaller houses with higher density. She said that could generate a lot more traffic and noise than what Al Salam is proposing.

Some opponents of the Islamic Life Center said they would love to see a mosque in Carmel but not on the proposed site.

Hassan and Safi said it’s been a long struggle to find a suitable site for the Islamic Life Center in Carmel. Sometimes neighbors will suggest a piece of land that’s for sale, but often it’s a property Al Salam officials already considered but didn’t work out. Some landowners have been unwilling to sell when they find out it’s for a mosque, and in some cases the prices have gone up.

Safi and Hassan said they’re not accusing anyone of racism or Islamophobia for opposing the project, but they hope to have a discussion to alleviate concerns. Hassan said some neighbors haven’t being willing to meet with Al Salam to work through the details.

“It’s bigger than just us,” he said. “There’s a whole community that has this need, and it’s really not going to bother anybody else.”

CHS student charged for wielding knife

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com A Carmel High School student is facing several charges after approaching another student with a paring PUBLIC SAFETY knife on Feb. 8.

According to Carmel police, the male student entered a women’s restroom at approximately 2:30 p.m. and threatened a female student with the knife.

Carmel Clay Schools spokeswoman Courtney Taylor said the girl had training in defense

tactics she used to disarm the male student.

The victim escaped unharmed and alerted school staff members. Administrators and police quickly identified and detained the male student, who has been charged with intimidation (level 6 felony), confinement (level 3 felony), battery (level 5 felony), criminal recklessness (level 6 felony) and possessing a knife on school propery (class B misdemeanor). Police transported the student to the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center.

Investigators said the students did not

have a prior connection and that they believe it was an isolated incident.

Students were asked to remain in their classrooms until police determined it was safe to leave. They were dismissed at the end of the school day.

“We want to commend the bravery of our female student that was involved,” CHS Principal Thomas Harmas stated in an alert sent to CHS parents. “Her response and immediate reporting allowed for this event to come to a quick conclusion.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Stephanie Borlik doesn’t consider herself particularly lucky.

“I never win anything,” FOOTBALL said Borlik, with a heavy emphasis on never.

That all changed when the Camel Elementary School second-grade high ability teacher was randomly selected from 14,200 donors through United Way of Central Indiana to win two Super Bowl tickets, airfare and hotel. She took her husband, Brian Borlik, with her. The couple left for Minneapolis Feb. 2 and returned Feb. 5, the day after the Super Bowl.

“The whole experience was amazing,” said Borlik, who attended her first Super Bowl. “I loved the halftime show. I am a big fan of Justin Timberlake, and he put on a fantastic show. It was amazing to be there in person. The whole atmosphere of the game was fun. We sat by a lot of (Philadelphia) Eagles fans and their passion for their team was contagious.”

An Indianapolis Colts fan, Borlik said she always cheers for anyone who is playing the New England Patriots. So she was delighted with the Eagles’ 41-33 victory.

Brian and Stephanie Borlik attend Super Bowl LII in Minnesota. (Submitted photo)

“Our seats were in the lower level by the end zone,” she said. “They were amazing.”

The couple took some time for sightseeing.

“We visited the Winter Carnival in St. Paul, toured the James J. Hill mansion in St. Paul. We love historic homes,” Borlik said.

“We visited the Super Bowl Live area along with eating at some fabulous restaurants.”

Borlik made her donation through Carmel Clay Schools as she typically does and increased her donation this time to have Eli Lilly Co. match her donation.

Borlik, who has lived in Carmel for 17 years, has taught in Carmel for 24 years, including 10 at Carmel Elementary.

Mitchell to join Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s only fitting that Mike Aulby will help induct the late Don Mitchell into the Professional Bowlers Association BOWLING Hall of Fame.

After all, it was Mitchell who helped launch Aulby’s Hall of Fame career, sponsoring Aulby for his five years on the PBA Tour after Aulby graduated from Franklin Central High School.

“It was a deal I couldn’t lose,” said Aulby, a Carmel resident who won his first PBA title at age 19. “If I had a bad year, they would have taken the loss. If I had good year, they took their expense money back.

It was a no-risk deal for me and one that made it much easier to compete.”

Royal Pin Leisure Centers founder Mitchell will be the first bowling proprietor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame exclusively for his role as an owner. The Hall of Fame dinner will be held in Indianapolis Feb. 17 while the PBA Tour is holding its Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic tournament at Woodland Bowl, 3421 E. 96th St., Indianapolis. The tournament starts with a practice session Feb. 13 and ends with the ESPN live stepladder finals at 1 p.m. Feb. 18.

Don Mitchell, left, and Mike Aulby at the PBA Gala in 2009. (Submitted photo)

Woodland Bowl, which is the only center to host every major PBA tournament, is part of the Royal Pin group that Mitchell once owned. He sold it after his retirement.

Aulby said Mitchell would open his home to bowlers when they were in town. Mitchell, who lived in Carmel for several years, was living in Geist when he succumbed to cancer in 2012 at age 80.

Mitchell’s daughter Donna Leimgruber, a Greenwood resident, and her two brothers, Craig, Naples, Fla., and Dave Mitchell, Indianapolis, will be there to accept the honor along with Aulby. The only sadness is that the honor came posthumously, Leimgruber said.

Silly Hearts Yoga Carmel-based mobile studio aims to instill calmness, confidence in young children

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Audrey Beaugh has turned her passion for childhood education and yoga into a Carmel-based studio for kids from 18 months to 18 years old.

COVER STORY Beaugh has practiced yoga for more than 15 years and incorporated some of the breathing techniques and simple stretches of yoga in the classroom while teaching kindergarten in 2006. The practice helped the students focus, calm their bodies and incorporate movement into their daily routine.

“I think yoga is a natural fit for children because there is predictability and rhythm to yoga that children enjoy and that allows them to really explore the movements and have fun with it,” Beaugh said.

Beaugh started her business, Silly Hearts Yoga, in 2015 while living in Denver, but she said it really took off after she moved to Carmel in June 2016.

Beaugh describes Silly Hearts Yoga as a mobile yoga center for kids. She doesn’t have a dedicated space, but she brings the classes to schools, day cares, community park

events, birthday parties and more.

“Each day is different. The children share their energy and enthusiasm with me, and I carry that with me,” Beaugh said. “Seeing children connect with yoga and blossom into little yogis is really the best part.”

Carmel mother Sandra Richardson said Silly Hearts Yoga has helped her 3-year-old daughter, Helena, learn how to move her body and quiet her mind. Helena participates in Silly Hearts Yoga classes once a month at Carmel Cooperative Preschool.

“We use the phrase ‘take a yogi breath’ a lot when she is upset and can’t quite stop crying,” Richardson said.

Richardson said the classes have helped Helena believe in herself. Richardson said Beaugh is in tune with the children’s feelings and needs.

“I am in absolute awe of how she is in control of a yoga session with 12-plus toddlers,” Richardson said.

In 2007, Beaugh became a certified children’s yoga teacher after training at Mini Yogas in Santa Monica, Calif.

Beaugh earned her Bachelor’s degree in early childhood education in 2001 and began teaching kindergarten, early

Yoga benefits for kids Audrey Beaugh said the benefits of yoga for young children are: improved sleep increased focus and concentration

self-acceptance

self-confidence

reduced stress improved flexibility and balance

CHECK IT OUT Silly Hearts Yoga has the following classes scheduled: • Family Yoga: 11:30 a.m. to noon Mondays through March 19 at the Westfield Washington Public Library, 333 W. Hoover St., Westfield. No class Feb. 19.

• Little Yogis: 5 to 5:45 p.m. at Congregation Shaarey Tefilla, 3085 W. 116th St., Carmel. New sessions begin March 14 and May 2. Class is for ages 3 to 9.

Beaugh said Silly Hearts Yoga classes are designed for children. She incorporates music, books, games, songs, breathing techniques and mindfulness.

“I try to teach children to listen to their bodies and do what feels good,” Beaugh said. “Children are not being judged in yoga, as it is non-competitive, so it remains fun for children of all ages and abilities.”

As a former classroom teacher, Beaugh said her passion is trying to get yoga and mindfulness into local school curriculums. She teaches classes at Midwest Academy and has hosted classes at the Carmel Clay Public Library and Westfield Washington Public Library. Silly Hearts Yoga conducts classes at the Carmel Cooperative Preschool, Midwest Academy, Congregation Shaarey Tefilla, and several other schools, including Zionsville Community Schools and The Orchard School.

Silly Hearts Yoga also offers birthday party classes, workshops and private classes.

Beaugh lives in Carmel with her husband, Michael, their son, Charlie, 4, and their infant, Delilah.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker None of us is indispensable. Sure, we may contribute. We might even add value in a way that is uniquely our own. But, is it fair to imagine that we fill a role so incontrovertibly without compare that no other human (or machine) might be able to take our place? They would never be us – we are all precious individuals, no doubt; yet, could they fill our shoes differently?

Still, once in a while, there is a singular person who challenges this certainty. Hamilton County Superior Court Judge Steve Nation may be such a human. Even though he has served with distinction for 24 years, acting as a leader to his peers throughout our state, this does not comment on his professional accomplishment and distinction. Instead, it notes that Judge Nation takes a far broader view of community.

From the bench of authority, he dispensed justice under the law. Still, as he shed the black robes of the jurist, he picked up the work of preventing the conditions that kept him fully employed in his day job.

He lent his considerable experience to the intractable problems of domestic violence, senior abuse, veterans’ reintegration, traffic safety, homelessness, education and juvenile justice. As much as he educates those at his side on these scads of nonprofit boards and commissions about the rules and peccadillos of law, he learns from those on the frontline about the root of criminal activity and the impact on its victims.

Although none of us is truly without replacement, some of us are worthy of emulation. Others are likely to step up, each in their own way, and we are lucky to have them. If we don’t see them, then be them.

I was stalking Facebook the other day and came across a friend’s photograph showing her newborn twins HUMOR and two older children sprawled on the carpet. Her post read, “I just went to the grocery with all four by myself!” And I thought, “You go, girl!” It took me back to my own early days of parenting when successful momming meant I got everyone out of the house at least once and returned home with the same number of children with which I left.

Inevitably, though, and usually when I was in Meijer, some old, stranger lady would approach and say, “These are the best days of your life, honey. Enjoy them!”

My internal response? “Are you kidding me, lady? Please, God, tell me you are kidding!” Those days were long, hard and often horribly lonely. The burden of keeping little ones alive and occupied for 12 to 15 hours was enormous, and when blessed naptime was disrupted, I would nearly lose my mind, or what was left of it after playing Thomas Train for the entire morning. I longed for adult interaction, workplace stimulation, and by five p.m., a goblet of Pinot. I literally could not wait for the moment when I could ship my angels off to school and return to normal, sane adulthood.

The moral of my stumble down Memory Lane is twofold. For new parents struggling with infants/toddlers/preschoolers, hang tough. The silver lining is around the corner (or wherever your elementary school is!).

Second, if you see a mom in dairy with a rug-rat-laden cart and simply must speak, offer words of condolences or assistance.

Or a bottle of scotch.

Peace out.

Thorough vetting needed

Al Salam is what Carmel needs

Editor, As a statewide, grassroots Jewish advocacy group, we are committed to promoting the well-being and security of the Jewish people and society at-large. To that effect, last month we sent a letter to the Carmel Zoning Board recommending that it address whether the proposed Al Salam mosque is affiliated with or receiving funding from sources that advocate support for anti-Semitism or terrorism.

We did this in light of evidence that a large proportion of U.S. mosques advocate supremacist religious views. Since Jews are frequently the first target of sharia supremacists, we feel a special responsibility to raise these sensitive questions. Our questions seem all the more pertinent in light of a local newspaper article noting that Rafiq Mahdi, an official of the Islamic Circle of North America, gave an invited sermon to Al Salam on Jan. 5.

Mahdi, a former member of the racist Nation of Islam, has a problematic history. In the 2000s, he led a mosque that included two members convicted on terror-related charges. His friend (and the mosque’s previous leader) was fingered by the FBI as a major fundraiser for Hamas. Though Al Salam’s invitation to Mahdi is clearly troubling, it is difficult to know if the Al Salam Foundation shares Mahdi’s worldview. While we have and continue to robustly support freedom of religion, we also understand that proper vetting of the Al Salam mosque is appropriate for the well-being of the entire Carmel community.

Elliot Bartky, president, Allon Friedman, vice president Jewish American Affairs Committee of Indiana Read the full letter at currentincarmel.com

Editor, The volcanic opposition that erupted following the Al Salam’s initiative to buy a piece of land for a mosque was an utter surprise. Such protests are seen opposing nuclear dump sites but not against places of worship.

After five years of struggle, many failures and intense effort, the Muslim community of Carmel finally found a home that is just right. Muslims have been praying in an approximately 400-square-foot room for five years. Many of them own houses 10 times bigger than their mosque.

Al Salam has bent backward to accommodate the concerns of the neighbors, and many have already been addressed. In comparison to other nearby churches, temples and nonprofits, the mosque is neither out of place nor a huge project.

A place of worship is a part of our civic fabric and should have a natural place in close proximity to residents. Developments such as the mosque enrich the lives of residents and increase property value. The mosque will add value, charm and diversity to the community. It will foster tolerance, peaceful coexistence and civic participation.

Carmel is not a cactus which thrives in a desert and pricks those who get close to it. Turning us down will eclipse the positive image of Carmel and engulf it in a national controversy while the region is trying to attract major businesses like Amazon.

The Islamic Life Center is a matter of our identity, it’s our life-long dream, future of our children and our gift to Carmel. Please support our dreams and right to worship.

An appraisal of house cleaning Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen was frantic. We were expecting a special guest, and I had never seen her so meticulous about tidyHUMOR ing the house — not counting, of course, the days before Nettie, our housekeeper, comes.

Nettie had been here to clean two days earlier, and when she heard that our important visitor wasn’t due for almost 72 hours, she asked Mary Ellen: “Is Dick going to a hotel for three days?”

The two of them had a good time trading stories about my messiness.

“How does he get so much toothpaste on his bathroom mirror?” Nettie asked.

“Or potato chips under his pillow?” asked Mary Ellen, doubled over in pain, laughing.

For three days, I was not allowed to cook anything or walk in the house with my shoes on. And I still had no idea who was coming.

“I need to decide what kind of songs to play while Brad is here,” Mary Ellen commented. Then she commanded our Amazon Echo: “Alexa, play music to make the house look expensive.”

Aha! So it was Brad, our real estate agent. He was coming to assess the value

of our home.

“Now, when Brad arrives, do not refer to downstairs as the basement or cellar.

Please call it our lower level,” Mary Ellen instructed. “And we need an electrician. We have to push the switch down to turn the hall lights on. Who would want to live in a house like that?”

Mary Ellen asked me to remove some of the awards from my office walls.

“But I’m pretty proud of those honors.”

“OK, you can keep a few up, but the one that says, ‘Class Clown, Class of ’65,’ needs to go.”

As Brad finished viewing our rooms, he peered out the bay window into our backyard, where an entire family of deer appeared. He snapped a picture, knowing this would be a great selling point for wildlife lovers.

Could my wife possibly have arranged such an idyllic scene? I knew she was good, but who knew she was that good?

Kelly Anderson launched her company, 185 Promotions and Apparel, in 2015. She’s already expanding.

GROWTH On Feb. 1, the promotional items company held a grandopening ceremony at its new location, 501 Industrial Dr., in Carmel. A company that began with only two women now employs six. Anderson said she wants to hire more. “We are looking to grow staff and looking to grow clientele. This allows more meeting space for clientele to come in and talk to us, because we spent a lot of time going to them,� she said.

The rooms aren’t furnished with traditional office space but rather bean bag chairs and sectional sofas. Anderson said although she considered adding more tables with a corporate feel, she decided to go with a more more laid-back approach.

At approximately 2,000 square feet, the new location is nearly double the size of the previous one. Anderson and her team didn’t have to move far. The old site is across the street.

The company moved at the end of the

Artful Living to open March 1

The Warzynskis are keeping Artful Living in the family. The shop was started by Ryan Warzynski’s aunt and uncle 17 years ago in Atlanta.

When his aunt and uncle retired, the Warzynskis thought it would be the perfect opportunity to transition from the corporate world to owning their own company in Carmel.

“We watched them be successful and have fun with it,” Ryan Warzynski said.

The Warzynskis each had a 13-year career with KAR Auction Services and relocated from Wisconsin to Texas to Indiana for work. They said they’ve settled in Carmel and are excited to raise their family and launch their business.

The boutique-style gift shop features a wide variety of items, including personalized signs, coffee mugs, jewelry, collectibles, figurines and home decor. A majority of the items, ranging in price from $3 to

“There’s just so many unique things.

Your eyes are always active. It’s just fun to look at all the inventory,” Jeannie Warzynski said. “There truly is something for everyone.”

Artful Living will open March 1 on the south end of Clay Terrace between Old Navy and Orvis. The couple also owns Tucker Automotive Group in Westfield.

Two Carmel eateries announced Feb. 6 that they have closed.

The Quirky Feather Confectionary, 890 E. 116th St., announced the RESTAURANTS news on its Facebook page.

“We want to thank you for your patience while we worked to get everything sorted out with our electrical and water problems. We have had to make the heartbreaking decision to not re-open,” the post stated. “We want to thank everyone who supported us over the last two years, The Quirky Feather would not have become the place it was without you and we hope that our paths will cross again.”

The Quirky Feather Confectionary catered to the late-night crowd with coffee and bakery items. It was among the local restaurants offering fare at Carmel’s inaugural Christkindlmarkt late last year.

Erbert & Gerbert’s Sandwich Shop also announced on Facebook Feb. 6 that it has closed.

It opened in August 2017 as the restaurant’s third location in Indiana.

SmileCentric now open on River Road

DISPATCHES

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dr. Louis Abukhalaf had just turned 17 when he traveled from his home in Jerusalem to attend Loyola University in Chicago.

DENTISTRY While at Loyola, Abukhalaf met his future wife, Dr. Brittany Lane. They both went on to get doctorate degrees in dentistry from Marquette University.

Abukhalaf, who lives in Fishers, opened his own practice, SmileCentric, 14560 River Rd., Suite 105, in Carmel, five months ago. It had its official ribbon cutting Jan. 25.

“The office is 10 minutes away from my home,” Abukhalaf said. “So, if someone has an emergency I can come in after hours, which I’ve done before.”

Abukhalaf, 31, who has been practicing for 6 1/2 years, continues to work at Gentle Dentist at the Edgewood location on the south side of Indianapolis.

“I’m still working there part-time until I build this office,” Abukhalaf said.

Patients call him Dr. Louis, and he tries to put them at ease.

“I’m very personable,” he said. “I try to be joking all the time, (provide) a stress-free environment and as much painlessness as I can. If you get an injection, you are going to feel it, but I try to make it as comfortable as possible.”

The office is open three days a week and has weekend hours per request.

“It was kind of a hiccup starting (up),” Abukhalaf said.

Free meditation class – Sahaja Meditation Indiana presents a free mediation class at 7 p.m. on Fridays.

Learn to reduce stress and experience inner peace through meditation. The class will be held at Old National Bank, 1430 S. Range Line Rd. For more, visit IndianaMeditation.org.

Addiction support group – Parents of Addicted Loved Ones is a free support group for parents who have children dealing with drug addiction. Meetings are on Monday nights from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Carmel Christian Church, 463 E. Main St. The meetings are for those older than 18.

Unhealthy fragrance – Many scented products contain fragrances that are composed of dozens of synthetic chemicals. Nearly 95 percent of those chemicals are petroleum-based, potentially cancer-causing toxins.

When looking at scented products, go for those with essential oils or natural botanical ingredients.

“Construction took way longer than I thought it would with permits and all that stuff.”

He said it was the right time to start his own practice.

“I feel like I’m comfortable with dentistry, and I want to attack the business part,” Abukhalaf said. “You don’t learn this in dental school.”

Lane is a periodontist at her practice, Indy East Periodontics in Indianapolis. Lane, originally from Muncie, had her residency in Indianapolis, and the couple decided to make central Indiana their home.

Abukhalaf and Lane have a 9-month-old son, Nabeel.

“I try to get back to Jerusalem every year, but it’s hard when you have two businesses and a baby,” Abukhalaf said.

Cold remedy – Are you a fan of natural methods of healing as opposed to medication? Try taking elderberry syrup, which is a natural immune system-booster and a great cold remedy. You can take a teaspoon of syrup every morning, add a few drops of elderberry extract to water or juice, or drink elderberry tea.

‘Jersey Boys’ cast members form dream roles

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Christian Hoff took the role in “Jersey Boys” he had no idea where it would lead.

THEATER Hoff won a 2006 Tony Award as best featured actor in a musical for his portrayal of Tommy DeVito, and three other original Broadway cast members, Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer and Michael Longoria, formed a musical group, The Midtown Men, who travel worldwide to perform. “Jersey Boys” is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

“This is a dream realized that we didn’t know we had,” Hoff said. “This is a result of four unique, individual talents focused on the old-school, traditional format. We didn’t go to a label first. We didn’t start recording. We said let’s go out and be on the road and let’s develop our material and our rapport with the audience as individuals and as a group off the stage.”

The Midtown Men will make their first appearance at The Palladium in Carmel at 8 p.m. Feb. 23.

“Our claim to fame is the Four Seasons music, and that’s really what got us in the mood, if you will, for making a four-part

sound be the centerpiece to our music,” Hoff said. “We took that approach, starting backstage, off the stage and behind the scenes, doing what we did with the Four Seasons music when we found that sound to other artists.”

Hoff, 49, said the group plays songs by the Beatles, Beach Boys and Motown groups.

“We’re having a blast exploring the decade of the ‘60s in a very unique way and a very present, relevant way,” Hoff said.

“People really love this music. It’s part nostalgia and part redefining, reimagining, rediscovering. We pay homage to the roots of this music as fans. We’re trained to bring to life someone’s music. That’s what we did with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons on Broadway with tremendous success.”

Now, instead of recreating a sound, they can put their own touches on the music.

“Part of our success and our longevity is this music is relatable for all ages,” Hoff said. “It’s still cool.”

The Midtown Men started in 2010.

“We didn’t know if it was going to be a year, a decade or a lifetime,” Hoff said.

The group has done nearly 800 shows

across the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

“We’ve kind of rolled with the punches, and it’s continued to grow,” Hoff said.

“Our goal is to carve out a new medium, where is that four actors from Broadway can put together a band and self-produce a show and learn how the business actually works. We went from portraying this on Broadway to being it, producers, guys that have to go on the road and to think about ticket sales, getting butts in seats, promotions, lawyers and contracts.”

Hoff said the four performers are trying to find time to still express themselves as individual artists.

“But it has taken our full attention.

Building it was a big undertaking,” Hoff said. “Now that we’ve been rolling strong for eight years, there is a lot that takes care of itself with the oiled machine that we have. We’re remembering now that we are artists that need to create and excite our audience. If we are not excited and engaged, it’s not quite as full a circle.”

Hoff has acted in many Broadway and TV shows and was the voice of Richie Rich on the cartoon show in the early ‘80s.

When it’s open: Sunday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mark’s take: What comes to mind when you hear the word deli? Subs? Soups? Salads? McAlister’s? That’s right. You’ll find all of those choices and more at McAlister’s Deli. Whether you’re having dinner with the family or meeting friends for lunch, this is the place for a great dining experience.

Brrrr, enough of the Arctic blast, already.

I know it’s Indiana and winter, but man.

Let’s heat things up a WINEderlust little. Valentine’s Day is approaching and you are looking for the perfect bottle to surprise your sweetie? Want a delectable selection to enjoy in front of your fireplace?

Need a tasty crowd-pleaser for your supper club? I’ve got some great options. Take a look at these winners. I’ve got three to suggest: If you’re entertaining or seeking a valuedriven wine, look no further than this spicy blend from South Africa, Wildekrans Cabernet Franc-Merlot. It’s got a bit of tannic backbone, but loads of juicy and supple fruit. Think currants, blackberries, plums.

Serve it with rich winter stews or offer to bring the vino if you’re invited to someone’s house for lasagna. Approximately $17.

When you’re willing to take things to the next level, I’m really loving a wine from Ridge Vineyards in California. I like it even

more than usual. Like, it’s really good.

Ridge California Geyserville Zinfandel, 2015. This is a big-bodied glass. It has balance, it has oak, blackberry, cherry, black pepper and tobacco. It is a peppery bramble-bomb. It’ll warm you up for sure. $39.

So, that special bottle for your Valentine?

Or yourself? I don’t judge. It needs to be memorable and very delicious. You’re willing to spend a good amount. Go big or go home with Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon, 2013. An Australian treasure. Dark fruit with loads of berries, pretty ripe tannins and spice. Big and bold but still manages to be lively. A dichotomy. Hints of mint and eucalyptus and wisps of sandalwood will make you think you’re back at a Grateful Dead Show. Wait, what’s happening?

Worth. Every. Penny. $67ish.

Play to target young viewers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Rebecca DeVries McConnell, children’s theater is a blast.

“The kids don’t hesitate THEATER to react vocally when they are excited, and it’s thrilling to get that instant feedback from them,” DeVries McConnell said. “One of my favorite parts about doing the Pyramid Players productions at Beef & Boards is doing the meet-and-greet and autographs that follow the show. The children are delighted to meet us, and it’s such a treat to converse with them in character about the story.”

DeVries McConnell will perform as the Fairy Godmother in “Cinderella” Feb. 17 to March 17 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

She played the same role in a 2012 production at Beef & Boards.

“She’s a really feisty and fun character,” DeVries McConnell said. “This is a very funny interpretation of the classic fairy tale. Children will recognize their favorite characters but will enjoy getting to know some new ones that were adapted into this version.”

The Pyramid Players is the Beef & Boards’ Live Theatre for Kids team, actors and

DeVries played the Sea Witch in the Pyramid Players’ production of “The Little Mermaid” in 2016. She also performed in “The Music Man” and “Godspell” at Beef & Boards.

DeVries McConnell, who has lived in Carmel for 10 years, graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. She studied musical theater at Hope College in Holland, Mich., and theater education at the University of Indianapolis.

Aerial artist Kristen Noonan BALLET worked with Carmel-based Ballet Theatre of Indiana choreographer Cole Companion with dancers as flying cupids, which is set to the music of Queen.

“The idea is everyone is assigned a cupid to help them find true love,” BTI Artistic Director Stirling Matheson said. “But the idea is our main character is such a loser, he’s been assigned four. They’re still all very frustrated. It’s kind of like a romantic comedy. It’s funny, and there are ballerinas flying around.”

BTI and Sun King Brewery will team up for the fourth time for “Beer & Ballet IV” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 at the Basile Theatre at the Athenaeum, 407 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis.

Kristen Noonan, a Carmel High graduate whose sister Megan is BTI dancer, also will perform her singing lyra act, which blends musical theater and aerial work. Other pieces by dancers include Emma Beigel, El-

vis Presley, Audrey Robson, Billy Joel, Stuart Coleman and The Chainsmokers.

Matheson’s piece includes music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Instead of intermission, Matheson said there is a five-minute break between each piece.

“It’s fun and accessible, works for Beer and Ballet, generally brings in a new audience, and, hopefully, gets them hooked to let them love all of ballet,” Matheson said.

Tickets are $25 and Sun King beer will be available for purchase. For more, visit btindiana.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Late-’90s kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This typical late1990s home in Avon was in need of an update both visually and functionally.

The original kitchen lacked the efficient layout and overall design the homeowners desired.

The overall goal was to create a more functional kitchen while giving the homeowners the updated traditional design they had always dreamed of.

1. The biggest transformation was replacing all the existing cabinetry with new, two-toned cabinetry for a modern yet traditional look.

2. Additional cabinetry and cabinet accessories were added to help create more efficient use of the space.

3. The island was enlarged to create the space for a casual dining space and a microwave drawer.

4. Another large transformation was relocating appliances to create a more functional flow throughout the kitchen. This also made the space appear much larger without actually enlarging the footprint of the room.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The kitchen cabinets were original to the home, the finish and door style dated the space and lacked efficient storage solutions. The overall layout of the kitchen didn’t function well for the homeowners and lacked open countertop space. The pantry was large and lacked organization elements.

Love is in the air Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Did I say “love?” I totally meant to say “a snowboarder.” I love any and every competition in both GRAMMAR GUY the Summer and Winter Olympiads.

So from bobsleds to the event where they cross-country ski and shoot a gun, today I’m going to use the Winter Games to clear the air, so to speak, on a few similar sounding words: air, heir and err.

The most common of this group of homophones is air. As a noun, air most commonly refers to the combination of gases we breathe in Earth’s atmosphere.

So when Shaun White elevates far above the halfpipe, snowboarding aficionados say he gets “big air.” As a verb, air means to let out or to broadcast. Even though it happened last night, I can’t wait to watch NBC’s re-airing of the Nigerian women’s bobsled team zooming down the track.

You know what they say about the biathlon: It’s the Nordic sport of kings.

OK, they never actually said that, but go with me on this one. This winter sport combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. In a winter biathlon gone ter-

ribly wrong, it’s possible the king of Norway could have a freak ski-and-rifle incident, leaving his heir to take the throne afterward. Heir is the person who inherits titles, land or property following another’s death.

You’ve probably heard the saying that goes “to err is human; to forgive, divine.”

When Alexander Pope wrote this he had probably never seen the skeleton competition in the Winter Olympics. If anyone errs in this 80 mph dance with death, his skeleton gets shattered and his nation will never forgive him. In this case, err means to go astray or be mistaken.

I don’t quite have the air time for a few less common homophones: ere (an older way of saying “before”), are (a metric land measure), e’er (an old-timey way of saying “ever”) and eyre (an English itinerant judge). I did, however, want to make sure I included them so that you didn’t think I was erring in my ways.

Havana’s symbolic capitol Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Havana are often surprised to find a massive and familiar looking building in the heart of the city. Conflicting claims that the building is a replica of the United States Capitol and that it has no connection TRAVEL with the Capitol are both false.

In 1925, after a period of political instability and financial distress, during which the U.S. repeatedly intervened to protect its interests, General Gerardo Machado became president. Machado immediately set out to make Cuba the Switzerland of the Americas, attractive to visitors from around the world. As one of many public works projects he initiated, largely financed by American banks, Machado engaged Cuban architect Eugenio Rayneri Piedra, the first graduate of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture, to design a home for the legislature to communicate a new image for Cuba.

To connote democracy and stability, Rayneri based the essential look and scale of the building on the U.S. Capitol.

To connote European sophistication, he copied the dome of the Paris Pantheon. Other design elements were adopted from Cuban colonial buildings. An estimated 5,000 laborers completed the 681-by-300-foot building, named El Capitolio, in just more than three years. The elegant interior included the third-largest indoor statue in the world and a 25-carat diamond marking the center of the Cuban coordinate system. The Cuban legislature began meeting in its

Quick battery fix – If you’re stranded with a dead car battery, you can drop two aspirin pills into the battery cells to jump-start the charging. The sulfuric acid in the battery mixes with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) to create one charge. It will be enough to rev up your engine and get you to the nearest service station.
