Councilor: Discovery of note evidence of bigger problem

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clerk-Treasurer Christine Pauley said she “accidentally” found a thank-you note a city council candidate sent POLITICS to Mayor Jim Brainard in a trash can at City Hall, but some elected officials are concerned her discovery is evidence of a bigger issue.

The note sparked speculation and rumors after it was shared Pauley on the Concerned Neighbors of Carmel IN Facebook page Feb. 8. In the note, southeast district candidate Adam Aasen thanked the mayor for coming to his fundraiser and stated “I promise I won’t let you down” and “I support you 100 percent.”

Pauley said she found the note Feb. 7 in a trash receptacle near a parking area reserved for Brainard at City Hall that is not accessible to the public.

She said she had thrown away several coupons and went back to retrieve one that wasn’t expired when she saw the thank-you note and removed it from the trash can.

“I went back into the little trash bin we’ve got there, and that’s when I found (Aasen’s) letter,” she said. “So, when I sent it to somebody, they went and ran with it.”

Pauley didn’t disclose who received her image of the note, but she said it was not Rick Smith, who posted it on Facebook. She said she didn’t expect the note to be shared on social media.

After the note was posted on social media, Aasen said his comments reflected his support for Brainard’s re-election bid, not that he would approve everything on the mayor’s agenda if elected.

Another accident Brainard did not respond to a request for comment, but other elected officials shared concerns with Pauley’s version of events.

“Even if the city clerk-treasurer stumbled upon the note by accident while going through the trash, it was no accident that she proceeded to take a photo of it,” councilor Laura Campbell said.

“I question the wisdom of the clerk-treasurer to share that photo with politically motivated individuals who were quick to share that photo and use it against a candidate for city council.”

Councilor Ron Carter said he doesn’t buy Pauley’s explanation.

“She was digging through the trash looking for stuff, whatever she could find,” he said. “I don’t think any rational person believes she was just walking through the mayor’s garage and this particular piece of paper just jumped up.”

Carter, who is running for re-election and has

clashed with Pauley before, said he believes Pauley’s discovery of the note is evidence of another issue he finds concerning. He said he recently learned that she has access to her employees’ emails and forwarded an email between himself, councilor Jeff Worrell and Deputy Clerk for City Business Jacob Quinn to her personal account before sending it from there to Tim Hannon, a political newcomer seeking an at-large council seat along with Carter and Worrell.

She also accidentally sent it to Carter Denise Moe, one of her former political advisors with whom she had a falling out.

Moe sent the email to Carter.

Pauley, who is not seeking re-election, said she intended to send the email to Hannon and his wife, Denise, and sent it to Moe by mistake. In the email, Carter stated at one point he hadn’t realized that he was the official city council chaplain, and Pauley said she sent the email to Hannon to show him why she believes the city needs new leadership.

Hannon hadn’t requested the information, Pauley said, and added that he responded “thanks, but no thanks” when he received the email.

Pauley said she requested and received access to her employees’ emails to be able to monitor her department’s business when they are out of the office and that it’s the only time she checks their accounts. She said other city leaders could request the same for their departments.

“If my staff is gone and I need to make sure their responsibilities are covered, the buck stops here with me,” she said. “I need to be aware of what’s in their inbox when they’re not there.”

While emails sent and received from accounts of public employees are public record, Carter described her actions as “unethical at the least.”

“It’s especially reprehensible that she was taking internal emails and forwarding them out to her own personal email account and then forwarding them out to a political candidate,” he said.

Investigation ongoing Pauley said she spoke with the Carmel Police Dept. on Feb. 12 to explain her discovery of the thank-you note and to ease concerns that someone had been digging through the mayor’s trash at his home. She said she has not discussed the matter with Brainard.

Brainard confirmed Feb. 12 that the note had been sent to his home but that he was not sure where he discarded it.

A CPD spokesman said Feb. 13 that detectives are investigating the incident. Because the investigation is ongoing, police are not releasing additional information.

Trents attend State of the Union address

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tyler Trent’s story continues to raise attention and funds for cancer research.

Trent, a PurCANCER RESEARCH due super fan from Carmel, died Jan. 1 at age 20 after a courageous battle with bone cancer, which drew national attention.

Trent’s parents, Tony and Kelly Trent, were guests of U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) at the Feb. 5 State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. The Trents’ visit began with a tour of the White House. They met with Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, in the West Wing for 15 to 20 minutes.

“Tyler’s story has touched (Pence’s) heart.

Regardless of what you believe in politics, he’s been an incredible person to our family,” Tony said. “He’s been genuine to us. He has loved us. The second lady has done the same thing.”

The Trents didn’t meet President Donald Trump, but they walked by an office when he was talking with his staff.

“It was surreal that I just walked by the President of the United States,” Tony said.

The Trents attended two parties before the speech, including one held by Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

“We got to meet with the secretary of health (Alex M. Azar II) and spoke to him a little about cancer research,” Tony said. “It was incredible for Kelly and I to hear the president in person talk about the appropriated funds for pediatric research getting ready to happen. We were really encouraged with that and want to continue to press forward in raising more money.”

Attending the State of the Union made Tony think of his late son.

“It truly embodied Tyler’s spirit and what it means to be an American and what it means to be a Hoosier,” Tony said. “He was hard-working. He was resilient. He had courage. He was determined. He had a nevergive-up attitude. He faced death at a time and age when you shouldn’t have to face death. I thought of our soldiers, of what they gave up for our freedom and how they faced death at a young age. It just reminded me a lot of Tyler while I was there. I was just proud to be his father.”

A fund started in Tyler’s name for Purdue’s Center for Cancer Research recently topped $1 million, surpassing Tyler’s goal.

“It’s quite humbling and would have made Tyler smile and rejoice in the fact his life continues to mean something,” Tony said.

“It’s overwhelming to see people partner with us and get on board with us to realize the importance of pediatric research.”

Tyler Trent wrote a book on Purdue’s improbable Oct. 20, 2018 victory over then-No. 2 Ohio State, called “The Upset.” Trent had predicted the upset on ESPN. Book sales will benefit the V Foundation, Riley Hospital for Children and Purdue’s Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment.

CHS cruises to 33rd state title

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School swimming coach Chris Plumb had more questions than usual entering this season.

SWIMMING They were all answered Feb. 9 when the Greyhounds captured their 33rd consecutive IHSAA girls state swimming and diving championship, including 13 under Plumb, at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI. Carmel won with 413 points, well ahead of Franklin with 167.5.

With the win, CHS extended its national record for consecutive state high school titles in any sport.

“A year ago, we had a lot of questions and a lot of holes to fill,” Plumb said. “The way this team performed is just tremendous.”

Plumb noted senior Kendra Bowen developed from being an alternate on a relay two years ago to winning the 200-yard freestyle state championship. She also was on the winning 200 freestyle relay team.

“That’s a tribute to the program and her work ethic and drive,” Plumb said.

Senior Kelly Pash captured the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly. Pash was on the winning 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams.

“She emerged as a leader, especially these last two months. She really stepped forward and realized that her role was not only in the pool but outside the pool as well,” Plumb said.

That gave her 12 state titles in her career.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Pash, who will swim for the University of Texas next season. “It’s definitely how I wanted to end my years here at Carmel. The team was super unified during this meet. I’m really going to miss it. It’s something special to be a part of.”

Pash won the 100 and 200 freestyles as a junior.

“I had to do what was best for the team and it was fun to race new races,” Pash said.

Saas strikes up game

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Casey Saas decided to trade in a basketball for a bowling ball this school year.

“I like how you are ACHIEVEMENT on your own and if you are messing up, you know how to fix it,” she said. “It’s more of a mental sport. I quit basketball to do bowling full time. I’m doing lacrosse, too, but bowling is No. 1.”

The Carmel High School sophomore competed on the boys bowling team in league competition because there is not a girls team at the school.

“I like competing with the boys because there is higher competition there,” Saas said.

It helps her in the Northwest Indiana Junior Tournament Players Association tournaments that she competes in once a month.

Saas rolled a 614 series to be the top qualifier in the girls individual competition Jan. 26 at the Indiana High School Bowling Semistate in Richmond. She then placed second, losing in the stepladder finals. She finished 16th individually in the Feb. 2 state

finals in Anderson.

She was named honorable mention AllState and will compete in the Bob Rohrman Subaru All-State Scholarship Tournament March 2 at Pro Bowl West in Fort Wayne.

Saas began bowling seriously 2 1/2 years ago.

“Her freshman year she did bowling and basketball, which is a huge conflict, so she missed quite a bit of the season,” CHS bowling coach Mike Oehler said. “Even when she was playing basketball, she was spending time at (her bowling) game.”

“I’ve liked taking pictures since I’ve had a phone or device to do it with,” eighth-grader Zach Mintz said. “Being in the yearbook class at Creekside has been a cool thing for me. We take pictures for our yearbook around the school. Ever since the district came out for a new launch for the website, I guess some of those pictures got put on our website and people around the district have told us they like our pictures.”

So, the students were asked if they also would want to take pictures of nearby elementary schools College Wood and West Clay.

Mintz, who said his favorite type of photography is landscapes, said taking athletic and performing arts photos is harder because the subjects move. Mintz has been using fellow eighth-grader Arjun Gupta’s old

After all, the Carmel ACHIEVEMENT resident was named a Living Legend by the Indiana Historical Society.

Melangton’s calendar is packed because she serves on a slew of boards of directors.

“I get very little sleep,” Melangton said.

Melangton’s involvement has earned her other honors, including the Sagamore of the Wabash, the Jefferson Award for Community Impact and Lifetime Achievement from College Mentors for Kids. Melangton added another prestigious honor in January when she received the Sertoma Club of Broad Ripple Service to Mankind Award at a luncheon.

“It’s absolutely an honor. It’s a great organization,” Melangton said. “It’s even more of a special blessing to be honored by a group I feel does great things in the service for others. It’s a group of thoughtful individuals involved in the community in their lives and careers.”

Melangton has been to the Sertoma Club several times during the last decade to discuss service projects and ways to help the community.

She is responsible for overall production of major events and strategic planning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, including the Indy 500. She previously was Indiana Sports Corp. president for two years and CEO and president of the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee.

Melangton also has worked as an associate producer for NBC Sports for its gymnastics broadcasts since 1996.

CGI to present legislative update

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel Green Initiative will conduct a “Sustainable Living Seminar: 2019 Legislative Updates” at 6:30 p.m.

ENVIRONMENT Feb. 21 at the Carmel Clay Public Library, 55 4th Ave. SE. The event will focus on Indiana General Assembly legislation that impacts Indiana’s environment and the state’s approach to agriculture, energy and transportation.

Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of the Hoosier Kharbanda Environmental Council, will provide an overview of environmental-related developments during the 2019 legislative session and how residents can get involved.

“We can actually make very positive change, but it will require a tremendous outpouring of public support to act as a counterweight to the special interests that tend to dominate the legislature,” Kharbanda said.

Julia Vaughn, policy director for Common

Cause, will discuss re-districting and why it presents problems for voters who care about issues like the environment.

“I’m actually one of the few people involved in the legislative process currently that has been through multiple rounds of redistricting,” Vaughn said. “Redistricting is going to happen in 2021, and we believe that allowing incumbent politicians to draw the maps leads to negative impacts on voters, with one of the biggest being choices.

When we allow politicians to draw the districts, that’s like letting them choose Vaughn their voters.”

Vaugh said allowing incumbents to oversee redistricting creates an inaccurate view of topics about Hoosiers care.

“We have a whole lot of legislators who come from unincorporated areas or very rural parts of our state,” Vaughn said.

The event is free to attend, but guests must RSVP in advance. For more, visit carmelgreen.org.

Artists collaborate on a grand display of miniature proportions The walls of The Sahlberg are permanent, so Sahlberg had to make sure all of the connections last a lifetime. He placed at least two paths to each light and constructed a 1/8-inch ribbon of LEDS through the front lip of each room to provide natural lighting. The sconces and chandeliers utilize incandescent lighting. Sahlberg said the incandescent lighting of the chandeliers, paired with 500 pure light LED bulbs, makes the rooms crystal clear and clean.

Landers said Carmel’s Museum of Miniature Houses is a treasure and one of the top miniature museums in America. The Sahlberg is expected to remain on display at the museum through mid-April.

“I will never build anything greater or finer than this,” Landers said. “This is the ultimate piece for me.”

Landers and Sahlberg, both in their 70s, said they spend 90 percent of their days working on miniatures.

For information, visit museumofminiatures.org.

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Majestically placed in Room 3 of the Museum of Miniature Houses and Other Collections in downtown COVER STORY Carmel is The Sahlberg, a one-of-a-kind, threestory miniature house crafted by nine of the top miniature artisans in the nation.

The floors include 3,000 pieces of lasercut parquet flooring and real marble in the entry hall. The dome in the grand foyer was created with 10-inch lead glass, costing $1,000. More than 2,100 books are placed on the library shelves, each individually titled with classic stories. A three-story spiral staircase is showcased in the center of The Sahlberg, which is encased in a customcherry cabinet.

The house’s architect and designer, Jimmy Landers of Huntingburg, collaborated with eight of the top miniature artisans in the nation to create custom pieces for The Sahlberg. He said it is the largest group of master miniature artists to work on a single project.

“The best artists were willing to share their work with me in my work,” he said.

“This really is a one-of-kind piece that will really never be replicated.”

Landers said he believes in giving serious miniature collectors large rooms that can be lavishly decorated and accessorized while still showcasing the craftsmanship of the house. He said he began working on miniatures in 2000 after he retired. His wife was a miniature enthusiast and asked him to build a dollhouse.

At the time, Landers said he had never built a dollhouse but taught himself how to create his first, a Colonial miniature called Brandywine, Maryland, for his wife.

“It’s just a relaxing hobby,” he said.

Landers said he’s an oddity in the miniature world. He doesn’t copy designs from magazines or put anything on paper. He said he often wakes up at 3 or 4 a.m. with an idea.

“I design in my own mind and I build from that,” he said.

Landers spent 12,000 hours in two years working on The Sahlberg, his 19th dollhouse.

He said he frames out his stick-built pieces like a carpenter would frame out a home.

The Sahlberg is 49 inches tall, 72 inches wide and 20 inches deep.

The Sahlberg House is on display at the Museum of Miniature Houses through mid-April. (Submitted photos)

Landers said the most magnificent features in The Sahlberg are the custom, madefrom-scratch three-story spiral staircase and the library, replete with custom-made 10-inch tall stained glass windows created

by Florida artist Barbara Sabia.

Elaine Mancini, executive director of the Museum of Miniature Houses, said The Sahlberg is exquisite.

“It’s just extraordinary,” she said. “Everything is top of the line.”

The Sahlberg came to Carmel through the connection of miniature electrician Carl Sahlberg, the namesake of the piece and owner of Creative Reproductions 2 Scale.

Sahlberg is the designated miniature electrician and does lighting for the Museum of Miniature Houses, which is at 111 E. Main St. in Carmel.

Sahlberg, a Bedford resident, installed a chandelier, sconces and baseboards for plug-in lamps in The Sahlberg. The sconces and three-story chandelier, designed by Linda Orleff of Tennessee-based Lighting Bug Ltd., are valued at $3,000.

Sahlberg makes dollhouse calls throughout the nation, wiring electricity and installing lighting in miniature houses. He even installs tiny wall switches.

“You’ve got to use your fingernail to turn them on and off,” Sahlberg said. “There’s a multitude of options in the electronic side

of these miniatures.”

Sahlberg said he found his niche in creating electrical wiring for dollhouses. Uniquely, The Sahlberg runs on 12 DV of DC power instead of an AC circuit. It is hardwired basically the same as a full-sized house.

“I developed a whole series of components for wiring dollhouses,” he said.

Sahlberg said that wiring dollhouses and miniature houses isn’t a problem, but it’s tricky to configure ways to conceal the wiring throughout the houses.

ESSAY Think about it

LETTER

A big thank you to CFD

Commentary by Terry Anker “You better think. Think. Think about what you’re trying to do to me.” So powerful is the admonishment of the acclaimed “Queen of Soul,” Aretha Franklin, that the song’s lyrics can be sung by heart by a generation — or two or three.

The catchy tune and expert delivery may have some sway in determining the track’s longevity. Still, the verse connects with us. Our idiom is filled with reference to thought, or lack thereof.

We say “don’t think about it” rather than “you’re welcome.” We claim a “time to think” instead of demanding a break. We “think we know.” And, we “thought you understood.” We “sit and think.” And, “we think, therefore we are.” Suffice it to say, we think a lot. Even so, if we find ourselves incumbently reflective, why is it that we manage to be so thoughtless? Is it our lack of time just to think? Or is it that when we are busy that we just can’t think straight? Perhaps.

Modern life allows for little reflection. The traffic, news cycles and abundant attractive distractions all contribute to our hopelessly short attention spans. The very fact that one takes the time to read this local newspaper indicates a “thinking” superiority.

Yet, if Ms. Franklin’s point is to be made, how can we navigate our world, let alone relationships with others, absent a bit of thinking? Is it like all-too-many efforts wherein we talk much more about them than actually undertake the doing of them? If thinking matters, what is on our “thinking” list? When do we make time to address it? What is the objective, if any, of our deep reflection? Have we studied how to improve as thinkers – or do we simply expect to improve with time?

Hmm. I guess we’d better think.

My silver screen moment Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my dream of becoming an actress finally came true! Sure, it was a cameo, and yes, it was in a student HUMOR film that will be less than five minutes. And OK, fine, I play a teacher, but the point is, I have fulfilled a lifelong goal. There is hope for everyone!

Now, back to me and my award-winning performance. I’m pretty sure I was amazing.

I haven’t seen the final cut yet, but by all accounts, especially my own, I nailed it. Even better, the entire experience went exactly the way I’d hoped. I was able to talk to the teenage director/writer/producer/editor/ camera man about my “motivation,” shout “line?” at absolutely no one, and incorporate a slight Southern accent and a not-so-slight eyebrow raise in a menacing fashion. Of course, like any 40-something ingénue, I goofed my scene twice and once accidentally turned my mic off, but those mishaps

simply made my time on set that much sweeter. Can y’all say “blooper reel?”

In all seriousness, I have wanted to be in a play or a movie for as long as I can remember. My four sisters and I grew up putting on Christmas skits and re-enacting scenes from classics, including “Mommie Dearest” and “Silence of the Lambs.” And I came close in seventh grade when I was cast as the understudy for the main character’s mom in our school’s religious musical. So, to actually have the chance to be in a real-life film, albeit a student short, is literally a dream come true. Don’t give up on yours. There is always time.

See you on the red carpet!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.”

-Anne Frank

Editor, My wife has health problems that have put us in hospitals and a nursing center since Dec. 5, 2018. On Feb. 2, she was in IU North Hospital. I was on my way to my own doctor’s appointment when I had a flat tire north of 96th Street on Spring Mill Road.

Roadside assistance said they would be to my aid no later than 75 minutes.

After about 15 minutes, the fire engine from Carmel Fire Station 45 stopped across the street and asked about my troubles.

In a few moments two of the firemen got out of the truck to change my tire, kneeling in the snow while doing so. I offered them cash for their coffee fund, which they refused.

When I told them about my woes and why their kindness meant so much to me, they both gave me big hugs. Such kindness one does not often reveal itself! All Carmelites (the right term?) should be proud of them! Thanks so much, men!

Duane Etienne, Indianapolis

Honoring Carmel’s commitment to Home Place Commentary by Tony Green

Home Place may now be part of the City of Carmel, but the city must make a significant and ongoing effort ANNEXATION to honor and preserve the unique character of the community. As an independent voice on the Carmel City Council, I believe there are five steps the city must take to go beyond absorbing Home Place, and I am working to ensure that the city does right by the residents of Home Place.

First, the city needs to welcome Home Place residents. The city is planning a Home Place Welcome Celebration March 2 at the Hensel Government Center. All Home Place residents are welcome and encouraged to attend this opportunity to learn about the services provided by the city, how to access them and to meet the people who provide them. I look forward to meeting you there.

Second, city leaders must work with school officials and Home Place residents to determine the best use for Orchard Park Elementary School, which could become a

park with a running track, tennis courts, fitness stations and possibly a community center.

Third, Carmel must commit to continued use of the Hensel Government Center and possibly expand that role as an outreach facility for Carmel Police.

Fourth, the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission must preserve and protect Home Place’s heritage by reviewing historic structures, sites and monuments. For example, we must preserve the burial site at 106th and College of a celebrated hero from the War of 1812.

Fifth, city leaders must work with Home Place residents to see if there is sufficient interest in changing the last line of the mailing address from Indianapolis to Carmel through the ZIP code boundary review process.

Tony Green is a member of the Carmel City Council and is seeking re-election to a district that will include Home Place beginning in 2020. Learn more at TonyGreen4Carmel.com.

My wife casually mentioned to me the other night that my chest needed a little development (while I suppose HUMOR your better half is permitted to assess your upper half, I’d suggest not responding in kind).

I read in Prevention Magazine that when you reach age 45, you begin losing 1 percent of your bone density and muscle mass every year. Old photos of me from high school show there was very little mass to start with, although some did roll in across my midsection in the early ’80s. Density?

I asked Mary Ellen, but she claimed I’m as dense as I’ve ever been — and she’s not one to just toss out compliments.

I was embarrassed into starting a moderate bodybuilding regimen. I do it at home while watching cable news in the evening.

Why didn’t I think of this 15 years ago? I still wouldn’t like Sean Hannity, but at least I’d be buff enough to throw pillows at the TV from my recliner.

There are two techniques I don’t perform: abductions and snatches. I don’t need any more legal trouble after getting caught walking out of Dick’s Sporting Goods with

a set of free weights. Hey, that’s what the sign said.

Thursday, I ‘’bed-pressed’’ a hefty amount: 18,000 grams. I took one really heavy dumbbell and managed to hoist it over my head.

When I put it down, the cat scooped it up in his mouth and hid it under the couch.

Mary Ellen says my resolution to lift things is a good sign. She’s hoping it will carry over to lifting a finger around the house. Or picking up the check when her brother and sister-in-law come to visit. As for me, this has all helped lift my spirits.

A few days ago, one of my macho neighbors helped me lug a new barbell set into our house. My hope was that after a few months working out with some of the lighter weights, I would one day be able to lift the behemoth weights all by myself.

Mary Ellen thought the equipment looked ugly in our bedroom, so she took it down to the basement.

Carmel mom battles cancer

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Michel Perusse knows what it’s like to be motherless at an early age. She doesn’t want that fate for her FUNDRAISER own teenage daughter.

The 42-year-old Carmel resident learned she had an inoperable brain stem tumor in March 2015. For most of the past four years, the resulting migraines have been constant.

“It’s like having a knife in your head 24/7, and I feel like someone is twisting it,” she said. ”I have seizures and bouts of vertigo. I suffer from horrible brain aphasia and several TIAs (mini-strokes). Through four years, I went through all those things on a regular basis.”

Then, in October 2018, she learned the brain stem glioma is malignant. The average survival rate for that form of brain cancer with normal treatment is 15 to 18 months.

Perusse, who isn’t able to work full time because of the condition, is seeking to raise funds through a GoFundMe page that a friend started to have immunotherapy treatment at a clinic in Mexico, Germany and Belgium.

“I have to fight to be there for my daughter, Zoë,” said Perusse, whose mother died suddenly when she was 9. “I don’t think anyone should lose their parent at such a young age. I don’t want this to be her fate.

She won’t have anyone to turn to. She has friends, but she’s 15. These years are critical in me helping guide her. She is my reason for living.”

Zoë, a Carmel High School sophomore, said she is proud of her mother’s attitude.

“She’s always stayed positive, even on the worst days,” said Zoë, whose father is not involved in her life. “I want to take (the pain) all away and I know I can’t. Even when she’s all in pain, she makes sure I’m happy.

It breaks my heart that I can’t do anything to help her. I love her so much and it would break me to lose her. I can’t go through that.”

Perusse said the non-invasive treatment

involves a dendritic cell vaccine that is cultured by using her own blood to boost her immune system to eliminate/stabilize the tumor.

After four weeks to get the tumor stable, the vaccine is administrated four more times six to eight weeks apart, so the travel time is costly, compounded by the lack of income.

FDA restricts its use in the U.S. because it still considers it experimental, but Perusse said she is on the wait list for trials at Duke University and the Neuro-Oncology Center at UCLA. Perusse said Dr. Lawrence Richman, a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, recently stressed she needs to start the treatment in six to eight weeks.

“The longer the wait, the less I will be a candidate for it,” she said. “I feel like the clock is ticking unless a miracle from God occurs.”

As of Feb. 6, more than $25,000 has been raised of the $80,000 goal. She needs $30,000 more to check herself into the clinic for treatment.

“My mindset is, I’m not going to let this kill me,” she said. “I do believe the power of faith is real. If I get this treatment, I can potentially live for many more years.”

With nearly 17 years experience in selling upscale second-hand clothing and decor for adults and teens, AmanEXPANSION da’s Exchange is aiming to fill a gap in the industry — boutique children’s resale clothing.

The new addition to the shop is aptly timed. With the closing of six Indianapolis Gymobree, Inc stores and a Zionsville upscale children’s shop, local children’s boutiques are becoming more limited.

Amanda Newman first opened the women’s resale clothing store Carmel Consignment in 2002. With a thriving first store, she expanded the shop in 2008 and began offering furniture. She then opened a second store, Amanda’s City Chic, focused solely on furniture consignment and resale.

In 2011, she launched District eXchange, a resale shop for teens on Carmel’s Main Street.

When a large space became available near the high-traffic intersection of Keystone Avenue and Carmel Drive, Newman jumped at the chance to combine all three of her Carmel shops into one. In November

Amanda’s Exchange resale shop recently added a children’s section. (Photo by Sara Baldwin Schatz)

2015, the company opened Amanda’s Exchange at 715 E. Carmel Dr., Carmel.

They recently launched their new children’s boutique section.

“Our customers have been requesting that we consign children’s clothing for years,” Amanda said.

Amanda said the team assessed what furniture items customers sought most, then made the decision to scale back on large furniture, allocating that space to a children’s department.

“It has been overwhelmingly positive,” she said. “Our customers and consignors have messaged us and stopped by to tell us how excited they are.”

To start, the store will only carry highend children’s brands.

BraunAbility coming to Carmel

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel will soon be home to the new headquarters and research and development building for EXPANSION BraunAbility, which designs and manufactures wheelchair-accessible vehicles and wheelchair lifts.

Officials from BraunAbility, the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and the City of Carmel joined Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch to make the announcement Feb. 13 at Carmel City Hall.

The Winimac-based company will lease 18,000 square feet of existing office space at the Lakeside Green Business Center at the corner of Carmel Drive and Guilford Road and construct an adjacent 20,000-squarefoot research and development building. The total project is estimated at $7.5 million.

“At BraunAbility, our goal is improving independence and freedom for our customers — we change lives,” said Staci Kroon, president and CEO of BraunAbility. “The new facilities will be designed for collaboration and innovation and are key to our long-term recruitment and retention strategies.”

The new office is expected to open by June, with the technology center expected to open in 2020.

The IEDC offered BraunAbility up to $1.3 million in conditional tax credits for the project, and the City of Carmel is offering tax abatements.

An estimated 68 new employees are expected to be hired at BraunAbility in Carmel in the next few years, with some existing workers expected to transfer to the new office. New jobs will include roles in accounting, engineering, finance, human resources and marketing. The company employees more than 1,200 people worldwide.

Julian Bliss Septet to perform tribute to jazz legend Benny Goodman

editorial@youarecurrent.com For nearly 50 years, the Indiana Repertory Theatre has welcomed nearly 5 million people through its doors to entertain, educate and enlighten.

On Feb. 11, the IRT announced the public phase of its capital campaign, Front and Center, to ensure that these community offerings continue for generations. The campaign, chaired by community leaders Gene Tempel and Sarah and John Lechleiter, has already received $17 million in commitments toward the $18.5 million goal.

Money raised through the campaign will support the immediate needs of the IRT, while also supporting projects for the theater’s long-term sustainability and growth in Indianapolis, according an IRT news release.

For the full story, visit currentnightandday.com.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com British clarinetist Julian Bliss was trained in classical music and never envisioned being part of a jazz CONCERT septet.

“Since I was never taught jazz, I thought it was so far removed from classical stuff, so I didn’t consider it as a possibility as a kid growing up,” Bliss said. “It wasn’t until I was putting together an idea for a CD that I thought this is possible, and why can’t I play jazz and classical alongside each other? There is no reason why not, so that’s when I decided to start the band,” The Julian Bliss Septet will perform “A Tribute to Benny Goodman” at 8 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Palladium in Carmel. Goodman, known as the “King of Swing,” was a clarinetist and band leader.

“The band was established in 2010, and the first project we did was a tribute to Benny Goodman,” Bliss said. “For a clarinetist, it was quite a natural way to start, but no means an easy place. We toured extensively in the UK and all over Europe.

The last four years we’ve been coming to the USA and playing at a variety of places.

We have a secondary show now based on Gershwin, but the Benny Goodman show is one we’ve done quite a number of times.”

A jazz septet is a formation of seven musicians. Bliss said the tribute constantly evolves.

“We’re adding and changing things,” Bliss said. “With jazz, no two performances are the same. Even though we have done it for a number of years, it always takes on a new identity in every single performance we do.”

Bliss plays a variety of tunes from the era.

“We do some arrangements from the big band era, which are quite exciting,” Bliss said. “The arrangements were very diverse with the type of groups Benny Goodman had. It’s through the arrangements that we can try to tackle some of the big band num-

bers and some of the small band numbers.”

Bliss said when he put the band together, he realized he had to include a vibraphone.

“First of all, it’s an amazing instrument,” Bliss said. “When it’s played to a high standard, it’s quite a spectacle. It’s a very unique sound and bells with the clarinet quite well. Back in Benny Goodman’s day, he played a lot with Lionel Hampton, and it created a very unique sound. The other benefit of the vibes is it can play chords and provide harmony and a lot of structure, especially when you are creating the big-band sounds, so a vibraphone alongside a piano, you can have quite a lot of voices. It offers a nice contrast with

the clarinet, so that’s the idea behind the instrumentation.”

Bliss said when he performs classical music, he performs with an orchestra.

“I make sure every concert I have the same people because we all get along very well,” Bliss said. “It’s quite a collaborative effort. We’re all in it together, so it’s important to have the same people.”

Bliss started playing the clarinet at age 4. A child prodigy who studied at Indiana University at age 12, he works with ConnSelmer, a musical instruments manufacturer based in Elkhart.

“I spend a decent amount of time in Indiana these days,” Bliss said.

Nrityangan Kathak Academy dancers perform at the 2018 showcase. (Submitted photo)

Dance academy showcase set

By Renee Larr editorial@youarecurrent.com Traditionally, the art form of dance has been revered in Indian culture and religion.

Some forms, like PERFORMANCE Kathak, take years to master. Performances allow dancers to express what they’ve learned throughout the years.

Nrityangan Kathak Academy will host the 6th Annual Showcase at 4 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Pike Performing Arts Center, 6701 Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis.

Nrityangan Kathak Academy is a nonprofit whose mission is to promote and educate the community in the north Indian classical dance style of Kathak. It combines intricate hand movements with fast footwork.

“Over the last few years the school has grown a lot, and what we try to do is to have an annual showcase every year,” said Dr. Anindita Sen, the academy’s founder.

“We are a nonprofit organization, and this

is our way to promote diversity within the community. It’s also an opportunity to educate the community about this art form.”

The showcase will feature 13 dancers of various skill levels.

“When you learn this dance form in India, most of the classical Indian dance teachers are very strict, and they won’t let you perform on stage until you have trained for four or five years,” said Sen, a Carmel resident. “When I started teaching here, I realized that kind of a paradigm wouldn’t work with the children growing up in the United States.”

The event is free and open to the public.

“There are not that many Kathak teachers in the central Indiana community, so this gives us an opportunity to kind of educate the community, share our passion and essentially have fun,” Sen said. “The kids really enjoy it. It’s a way for them to connect with their parents’ heritage and roots.”

Seating begins at 3:30 p.m. For more, visit indykathak.com.

LouVino

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8626 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Stuffed French Toast Price: $8 Anna’s take: This beautiful behemoth of a French toast dish was only $8, so you better believe I ordered it. A delicious brunch on a budget? Count me in. I typically don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but LouVino’s Stuffed French Toast called my name. The tower is stuffed with vanilla mascarpone. With a deliciously tart jam dripping down the sides, it was a fantastic and filling breakfast. The dish is served with a side of bourbon maple syrup (yum) and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Powdered sugar coats the plate.

I also ordered bacon, which you can add on for

LouVino’s Stuffed French Toast is a stack of vanilla mascarpone-stuffed French toast, topped with jam, whipped cream and a side of bourbon maple syrup. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

$2. I’m a crispy bacon kind of girl, and LouVino didn’t disappoint.

The thing I like the most about LouVino is, you can receive phenomenal service and experience decadent brunch food minus the markup price of restaurants with similar ambience.

Suggested pairings: There’s really no better option for a brunch beverage than the classic mimosa, and LouVino sells them for $2 during brunch, which is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.

If you’re not a mimosa fan, LouVino is known for its bourbon cocktails. I’m not sure if I would suggest that for brunch, but to each their own. Cheers.

Behind bars: Raspberry Bourbon Smash Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz.

Buffalo Trace bourbon, .5 oz. raspberry syrup, 2 raspberries, splash of lemon juice, soda water Directions: Build first four ingredients in a shaker and shake, then strain over ice in a Collins glass. Top with soda water.

How do you plead?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Valley of the Queens, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting The Valley of the Queens Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans have probably heard of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Less well known is a nearby valley that contained the tomb of one of ancient Egypt’s most TRAVEL celebrated women.

In about 1600 B.C., Egyptians began burying their pharaohs, along with the pharaoh’s wives and children, in concealed tombs cut deep into the limestone in a secluded valley on the west bank of the Nile near what is today Luxor. In about 1300 B.C., with the coming of the powerful pharaohs of the 19th dynasty, new tombs in this Valley of the Kings were restricted to men. A similar valley a few miles to the south, which the Egyptians called Ta-SetNeferu (The Place of Beauty), was chosen for the tombs of royal women, probably starting with a wife of Ramses I, the 19th dynasty’s founder.

Since the early 20th century, archaeologists have uncovered more than 90 tombs in what is now popularly called the Valley of the Queens. The most exquisitely

decorated tomb belonged to Nefertari, the favorite wife of Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for 66 years and is often associated with the biblical Exodus. When Nefertari’s tomb was discovered in 1904, its contents, including the sarcophagus, had been stolen long before, but the colorfully painted reliefs on the walls and ceilings remained remarkably intact and vibrant, leading some to compare it to the Sistine Chapel. One set of reliefs in the queen’s burial chamber illustrates teachings from the Book of the Dead, including the formula the queen was required to recite to gain access to the afterlife, a kind of prompt if she forgot the words.

Other reliefs include a short love poem from Ramses. In 2016, two dismembered and mummified legs found in the tomb were identified as those of Nefertari. What happened to the rest of her remains a mystery.

I’m sure pleats will eventually come back into style. I still remember the pleated khakis I GRAMMAR GUY wore to church in the mid-1990s. My Dockers brand double-pleated pants complemented my penny loafers to perfection in order to create that “nice-Baptist-guyall-the-girls-just-want-to-be-friends-with” look I was going for.

Today, I’m not talking about pleats. I’m talking about the words pleaded and pled.

With high-profile political court cases in the news (and perhaps more to come in the near future), I thought it would be a great time to brush up on the different ways people claim their innocence while under oath.

Back in December, former personal lawyer to President Trump Michael Cohen said, “I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to — the personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America.” Yet, at the end of January, a New York Times article led with this line: “President Trump’s longtime adviser Roger J. Stone Jr. pleaded not

guilty on Tuesday…”

Is it possible both usages are correct?

If the past tense of “lead” is “led,” and if “bleed” becomes “bled,” shouldn’t the past tense of “plead” be “pled?” Not so fast! What about “bleat” and “bleated” or “knead” and “kneaded?” There’s no pattern to this word construction, so let’s seek an expert opinion. According to the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, “pleaded” is always the acceptable past tense form of “plead.” They assert that “pled” is considered a colloquialism, which is a really nice way of saying “bless your heart, you don’t know any better.”

When it comes down to it, “pled” isn’t incorrect, but it’s certainly losing in the popularity polls. If the federal investigators keep handing out subpoenas, we’ll all be paying attention to how each individual pleads (and also if his/her pants have pleats).
