Library sets circulation record

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After a record-breaking year, the Carmel Clay Public Library continues to prepare for major renoBOOKS vations to help it keep up with demand.

Library patrons circulated approximately 2.2 million items in 2019, the highest number in the library’s history, according to CCPL Director Bob Swanay.

“Before coming to Carmel, I hadn’t seen anything like it for a community this size. It really speaks to the love the community has for the library,” Swanay said Feb. 17 during his annual report to the Carmel City Council.

To continue meeting the needs of a growing community, CCPL is preparing to begin construction later this year on a $40 million project to expand its main library campus at 55 4th Ave. SE. Improvements include increasing space for programs and teen activities, adding a parking garage

and drive-up item return, creating outdoor space for events, moving the Digital Media Lab to the main campus and reorienting the front entrance to face Main Street.

Swanay said the library continues to search for a temporary location during construction to enhance patron safety and allow the project to be completed more quickly.

At the same time, the library is upgrading its online presence. A new website and logo are expected to debut later this year.

“It’s not just our physical spaces,” Swanay said. “We’re trying to rethink everything that we’re doing.”

Swanay said the Joyce Winner West Branch, which opened Jan. 6, had a strong first month with 8,511 visits and 9,606 items in circulation. He said patrons dropped off nearly 2,000 items to be couriered to the main campus on the branch’s first day of operation.

After the main campus renovations are complete, Swanay said the library will likely continue expansion by opening new locations.

“Future branches and satellites might be the key to growth in future years,” he said.

2019 BY THE NUMBERS • 584,164 library visits • 10,482 Digital Media Lab visits • 12,658 mobile library visits • 909 teen volunteers • 1,869 programs offered • 72,609 program attendees

Council considers rezoning, land purchases Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met Feb. 17 to discuss a rezoning request and other matters.

What happened: The council introduced an ordinance to rezone the Hamilton Crossing retail center and adjacent hotel and former restaurant building.

What it means: The Carmel Plan Commission already approved the rezoning of the 14 acres to allow for mixed-use development. The rezoning also would allow the Carmel Redevelopment Commission to become involved in the project. A specific redevelopment plan for the site has not been revealed.

What happened: The council approved the purchase of six properties, each valued at more than $25,000.

What it means: The properties are necessary to complete road improvement projects. They are at 120 3rd Ave. NW, 11505 Illinois St., 11540 N. Meridian St., 1649 E. 111th St. and 0 E. 111th St. What happened: The council unanimously approved an appointment to the Carmel Economic Development Commission.

Lost pet fees may change

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After the Carmel city council briefly discussed a proposal to overhaul the city’s animal welfare CITY NEWS ordinance at its Feb. 17 meeting, its Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee spent two hours hashing out the details the following night.

The proposed amendments provide detailed definitions of adequate food, shelter, veterinary care and other measures that are less defined in the current ordinance. It also bans puppy mills and prohibits establishments that sell dogs from acquiring them through puppy mills. Many of the changes are similar to those in an ordinance passed

by Hamilton County in 2019.

“Having this consistent language keeps (pet owners) from being able to claim ignorance and run from the problem and hide in these different jurisdictions, which happens all the time,” said Doug Sanford, a deputy in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in charge of the Animal Control Division.

He previously worked for the Carmel Police Dept.

The amended ordinance — proposed by councilor Adam Aasen — requires pets to be microchipped or wear a

collar with its owner’s contact information. Rebecca Stevens, president and CEO of the Humane Society for Hamilton County, said her organization takes in 3,100 animals each year and that more than half of the 550 pets reunited with their owners annually are microchipped or wearing a collar with identifying information.

Pets without identification are held for seven days and receive a microchip, vaccines and wellness exam at a cost of $244.26 per animal. The city in which the animal is found typically pays the cost. After a week, the animal becomes property of HSHC, which attempts to find it a new owner.

Committee members updated the proposed amendments to include a fee of up to $250 to be paid by the pet owner — rather than the cities — to cover the cost of HSHC caring for stray animals brought into its care.

The committee also approved a change to the proposed restrictions on tethering. Instead of limiting tethering to no more than 16 hours within a 24-hour period, the ordinance prohibits it between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The committee will continue discussing the ordinance at its next meeting before sending it to the full council for a vote. A committee meeting date had not been set as of press time.

Hotel change order OK’d

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission on Feb. 19 approved a change order that adds $1.2 CITY NEWS million to contracts for the construction of Hotel Carmichael.

The approved costs are within the updated $58.5 million budget for the hotel. The city announced the new budget in a Jan. 31 press release.

When approved in 2017, the budget for the hotel was $40 million, but rising construction costs and tariffs helped contribute to the 45 percent increase, city officials said.

The CRC approved the change order by a 3-0 vote, with Adam Campagna abstaining because of his pending employment with hotel construction manager Shiel Sexton.

Much of the change order is related to costs for Feinstein’s, the hotel’s upscale restaurant and cabaret. CRC Director Henry Mestetsky said that part of the hotel was not included when bidding out the work.

Before the vote, commissioner Jeff Worrell, who also is on the city council, said he polled the councilors to see if they supported the change order. With support from all but Tony Green and Tim Hannon, Worrell cast his vote in favor.

The CRC is mortgaging two cityowned properties, using funds from its own budget and using excess bond funds to cover the budget gap.

Worrell said many of his constituents are concerned about the impact of the hotel’s rising price tag.

“You are solving the problem in the way we asked you to solve it (by not coming to the council for more funds),” Worrell said. “You are using funds that have been generated by the success of the CRC, which seems to me like a good thing.”

Mestetsky said rising costs won’t lead to increased taxes, but he understands why many Carmel residents are upset about the situation.

County parks director retires after 30 years

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Al Patterson has had a sweeping impact on the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. since joining as superintendent in LEADERSHIP 1992.

At the time, he oversaw 191 acres of park property.

Today, the figure is more than 1,600 acres across 13 parks.

After nearly 30 years with the department, the Carmel resident is retiring. His last day is Feb. 28. He and his wife, Laura, are moving to Wisconsin to spend more time with their daughter, Kate, son, Aaron, daughter-in-law, Kathleen and new grandson, Andrew Walker.

PASSION FOR OUTDOORS Patterson knew he wanted to be involved in the parks department when he was a student at Belzer Middle School in Lawrence.

“I decided I was going to do this when I was in junior high school,” he said. “I grew up in Lawrence, and I was at Belzer, and my dad was an HR director for a large company here in Indiana, and he would go to Purdue University and do recruiting. When he would go to Purdue, my mom would write a note saying I was sick, and I would go with him. While he was interviewing engineers, I would go and talk to people at the forestry and outdoor recreation department.

“Even when I was in junior high, that’s where I knew I wanted to go and that’s where I knew I wanted to be.”

Patterson didn’t participate in Boy Scouts because he didn’t want to do something that interrupted fishing and playing sports with his dad and brother. Instead, he worked at a camp every summer throughout high school and college.

“I wanted to be outside,” he said.

“I wanted to use that opportunity to help teach people about being outside.”

Patterson graduated from Purdue in 1987 and became superintendent

of parks and recreation for the City of Connersville. He spent three years there before being hired for the same position with Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. in 1992.

PROUDEST MOMENTS During his 28 years, Patterson said he’s most proud of the historical bridge project at Strawtown Koteewi Park in Noblesville. The bridge connects the park to the White River Campground in Cicero. The structure was dedicated in November 2016.

“I worked on it for 15 years,” he said. “We have a picture of me standing on the bridge in its original location in Washington County in 2003.

It’s just an amazing project that will be a community icon forever.”

WHAT’S NEXT Patterson is moving to Wisconsin because his immediate family lives there.

“I don’t want to miss this part of their lives,” he said. “I’m not cut out to be a long-distance grandfather.”

In Wisconsin, Patterson will work with the conservation fund for the Milwaukee Municipal Sewer District.

He’ll also spend lots of time fishing.

“My grandson already has two fishing poles, and I haven’t been able to hunt or fish with my son for the last three years because he’s been up there, and I’ll be able to do that,” Patterson said. “I’m going to be a regular on the lakes in the area.”

A new director for the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. has not been named as of press time.

Having retired at the end of 2018 from a 40-year law career in Hamilton County, former ELECTION county prosecutor and Superior Court Judge Steve Nation has filed to run for the Hamilton County Council.

Among a candidate pool of seven other Republicans, Nation Nation wants to fill one of three at-large seats held by Republicans Jeff Hern, Rick McKinney and Brad Beaver, who are all seeking reelection. Sue Maki, Lyneen Burrow, Tony Scott and John Ditslear also are vying for the seats.

“I think the biggest reason I want to run is I want to continue to serve,” Nation said. “In my career, I’ve always tried to bring everyone to their highest potential, and by doing that, I think that brings the county to its highest potential. Since I’ve retired, I’ve continued to work with different agencies, but it became evident to me that I could have a bigger impact and help bring together those different organizations to help the citizens of Hamilton County.”

Nation, a Noblesville resident, was first elected Hamilton County prosecutor in 1979. He served four terms before becoming Superior Court 2 judge in 1995. He served four six-year terms.

As a judge, Nation was heavily involved in starting the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program. In early 2019, he received the Hamilton County Continental Award — the county’s highest honor — for his service.

At the top of his priority list is creating a comprehensive mental health plan.

Nation is married to Peggy. They have two adult children, Laura and Jeff, and one grandson, Michael.

The Carmel High School girls swim team celebrates its 34th consecutive state title (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

New champs emerge for CHS

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Depth has long been a major contributor in the Carmel High School girls swimming team’s amazing success story.

ACHIEVEMENT In recent years, however, the Greyhounds have been led by standouts such as Kelly Pash, Claire Adams, Trude Rothock and Veronica Burchill, who each have won multiple IHSAA state championships.

This year was a bit different because Carmel had no individual champion returning.

“We knew we had to have everyone clicking for this to be a successful meet,” said Greyhounds coach Chris Plumb, who won his 14th girls state title. “We knew we didn’t have returning champions. We knew we had people that could emerge. I feel like this team came together at the right time to perform.”

Carmel won with 426.5 points, the fourth-highest tally in meet history, to easily win its 34th consecutive IHSAA girls state swimming title Feb. 15 at the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI in Indianapolis. The win extends their national state high school record for consecutive state titles in any sport or gender. Fishers was second with 208 points.

Carmel had at least two participants in every individual event, except diving, and had three in three events.

“This group has probably come far-

ther than any group we’ve coached,” Plumb said. “A year ago, we weren’t really sure what we would have. We knew we had to put a lot of work into it and they would have to come together. The leadership and the tradition allowed those unknowns to emerge and step forward.”

The Greyhounds had two individual champions and won all three relays.

“We had great senior leadership, but we have great young athletes who are scoring lots of points who will come back next year and continue our success,” Plumb said.

Sophomore Gretchen Lueking won the 200-yard freestyle, placed second in the 100 freestyle and was on winning 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

“I think the key was sticking to my training, knowing I can do whatever I put my mind to and just trusting everything I’ve been doing this whole season,” Lueking said.

Freshman Berit Berglund captured the 100 backstroke. Berglund was on the winning 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays. She was joined by her sister, Meredith, on the 200 medley relay.

Also on the 200 medley relay were juniors Maggie Love and Colleen Duffy.

Duffy and Lueking were joined by junior Madelyn Christman and senior Avery Williams on the 200 freestyle relay.

Lueking, Berit Berglund, Madelyn Christman and freshman Meghan Christman were on the 400 freestyle relay.

Drive-through for ashes

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel United Methodist Church makes Ash Wednesday easy for those on the go.

For the fourth consecuFAITH tive year, the church will offer an Ash Wednesday drive-through blessing from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Feb. 26 at the church, 621 S. Range Line Rd. It is open to the public, not just Carmel United Methodist members.

“Each year it gets bigger and bigger,” said Jennifer Hampton, the church’s communications and media specialist. “Last year, we had about 30 people come through. People, because of work or busy lives, couldn’t get away to an Ash Wednesday service, but they still want to start off Lent with a blessing.”

Hampton said signs will direct motorists to the front of the church under a covered area, where they will roll down the window when it is their turn to receive the blessing.

“A couple of lay ministers will give them the ashes, a blessing and a quick prayer and then you keep on going with your morning, whether it’s going to work or taking children

to school,” Hampton said. “They hand them information with anything that is going on for Lent and Easter at our church.”

Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance when Christians display their devotion to God. The ashes are placed in the shape of a cross.

The ashes are from the palm branches from the previous year’s Palm Sunday.

“A couple of days before Ash Wednesday, our youth group burns those branches that have been blessed from the year before,” Hampton said.

Carmel United Methodist has a 30-minute service at noon and a 6:30 p.m. service on Ash Wednesday.

Mother/daughter duo brings Lindner Learning Center back to Carmel

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com In the past three decades, Karen Lindner has grown her tutoring business from the COVER STORY laundry room in her Carmel home to a thriving learning center in the heart of the city’s Arts & Design District.

It’s quite an accomplishment for someone who Karen Lindner graduated from high school struggling to be able to read.

Lindner was diagnosed with dyslexia as a teen in the 1960s at a time when the diagnosis was just emerging. She felt relieved to have an explanation for her learning differences, but resources to help her succeed were scarce.

“I have a big-engine brain, but I was thrust into the very most handicapped group of children who were my peers,” Lindner said. “You have to offer dignity to these big, big brains, because you don’t get it other places.”

Lindner became a student of the Orton-Gillingham program, one of the first multi-sensory remedial strategies to address reading and spelling weaknesses. She later became certified to teach it, which she has done since she began tutoring students in 1992.

Her experience helps her relate to the students and families who flock to Lindner Learning Center from Hamilton County and beyond.

The center, which moved in late 2018 from Fishers to 141 N. Range Line Rd. in Carmel, offers tutoring for all ages and customized school programs to individually support students through an accredited middle school and high school curriculum.

Many students turn to Lindner for help in specific areas of struggle, while others complete all of their coursework through the center.

Testing is not allowed, and neither is homework, unless students initiate it themselves.

Lindner Learning Center has been a perfect fit for Jackson Breman, a senior who struggled during his time at North Central High School in Indianapolis. Breman initially took only math courses at Lindner but has attended full time for three semesters.

“I’ve been able to retain a lot of the information I’ve learned, and since then I’ve been able to get a much better GPA and much better qualifications for college,” Bremen said. “Without it, I feel I would’ve been stuck in a

rut, because I felt I wasn’t succeeding at a larger high school.”

Studying at Lindner has helped beyond academics, Bremen said.

“I was incredibly stressed out at my old high school from anxiety about peer pressure and not being able to socialize with others I don’t know very well,” he said. “Once I moved (to

LINDNER ICE CREAM Karen Lindner, founder and director of Lindner Learning Center, was not the first dyslexic member of her family to find success.

Her father, David Lindner, owned 42 Lindner ice cream stores in the Indianapolis area. The shops were a staple in the community for decades, with the last one closing in David Lindner 1992. David Lindner owned the shops until 1982.

David Lindner, who died in 2016, discovered he also had dyslexia after his daughter was diagnosed.

“My father was the perfect ice cream manufacturer as he loved his work and received national firstplace awards for his ice cream. He was the happiest, most positive person any of us knew,” Karen

The Lindner family owned 42 Lindner ice cream shops in the Indianapolis area. (Submitted photo)

Lindner said. “He was also dyslexic and had that smart entrepreneurial brain. I called our family home to be with him as he died at the age of 94. In true form, he was delighted to see each of us, lifted us up with encouraging words and thought we were on a cruise together.”

Lindner Learning Center honors its family roots in the community by displaying a towering Lindner ice cream sign in its lobby.

Lindner), I found myself developing a little more of a social life and being able to talk to people more willingly.

It’s improved my mental state. Overall, I’ve been succeeding at life a lot more since I moved here.”

Bremen is on track to receive his high school diploma in May through IU High School, one of several curriculum options available at Lindner Learning Center. He wants to study biomedical or mechanical engineering in college.

Lindner, a Noblesville resident, said academic programs are customized for each student at a level that isn’t possible through traditional educational institutions.

“These (students), the undazzling kids that don’t do well in school but are so smart and capable, are stuck (in traditional school) for years, and it takes a big chunk out of self-worth,” Lindner said. “The bottom line for what we do is we meet them where they are. We see them as perfect and exceptional children when they come into our center.”

Lindner’s daughter, Erin Lindner Uber, is the center’s assistant director.

The Lindners regard the center’s students and 20 teachers as Uber family, too, which is among the things they feel set them apart from other learning centers.

“We were terrified at different times throughout the years when a big franchise would come in. We’d think, ‘How are we going to fare?’”

Uber said. “We’re not busting at the seams, but we’re robustly healthy in what we’re doing.”

LETTER

Suffering seasons

Warming trend is clear

Commentary by Terry Anker An elderly aunt used to hang on the notion that bad news came in “threes.” She’d learn of the death of a friend or relative, then wait, almost breathlessly, for the remaining two calamities. “Who would suffer next? Could it be me?” Often, it would seem, she would be right.

As often, she would manufacture the final of the triumvirate to confirm her belief.

Today, writers are more likely to opine about a so-called “season” of pain to be followed by a time of ease. This is an understandable human reaction to suffering – if we hold on for one more moment, then the promised land is on the horizon. But, is such a perspective accurate?

One can assume that spring follows winter, and then summer is next. Ostensibly, spring will alleviate the risk of freeze and starvation. And, such a hope is certain to occur. Still, there is not a guarantee of ease. Each season brings with it risks. Summer may have fewer than winter but there can be no assumption of lax. As such, life continues to challenge us. We can hope for respite but cannot assume that “ease” is the likely outcome.

Does hardship have a season? Does bad news come in threes? Perhaps. Yet, the utmost certainty is that we are only changed if we embrace those things that befall us toward an end of improvement rather than one simply of endurance.

Not party to this

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I get a text the other morning from my soon-to-be-16-year-old that read, “Can I have 40 people HUMOR over for my party?” Umm, no, I responded immediately. She fired back, “But why not?” with several crying emoji faces.

Why not, my darling? Let me explain. Because by 40 people, you mean 50 hormonally challenged, angst-filled girls and boys. Because by party you mean five hours of said high schoolers eating and dancing and yelling and probably breaking stuff. Because we have a walk-out basement. Because even though I’m often an honest-to-god supermom, I don’t function well after 8 p.m. on a Friday of a long work week in February. And most significantly, because your dad will be out of town that night. So, no, you may not have 40 people over for your party.

That did not sit well with her, and for the last week, my husband Doo and I have been bombarded with increasingly desperate attempts to get

me to fold. To her credit, she’s been quite creative. For every one of our reasons against her proposed underage rave, she’s offered thoughtfully considered counterpoints, the most compelling being, “It’s my sweet 16; it’s a big deal!” I have almost caved twice on that one.

Unfortunately for our birthday girl, Doo is always quick with his mantra of “liability” to keep me strong. And since she is unwilling to change the date of said soiree, as that would solve the biggest issue of all (me having to chaperone this shindig all by my lonesome), it looks like we may be in the clear.

Then again, why not? My baby is turning 16! What could possibly go wrong?

Peace out.

Editor, I read with bemusement the “Not seeing a climate catastrophe” letter in the Jan. 21 edition of Current in Carmel. I am assuming that Mr. Smith is a climate scientist, or perhaps has worked in the energy or environmental field, so he speaks from a place of authority. Personally, I choose to read scientific reports coming out of institutions like Purdue University, Indiana University, NASA and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change versus looking out the window to determine if climate change is affecting the planet.

According to reports, frost-free days in Indiana are already increasing, and average annual precipitation has increased. These trends are predicted to continue. The fact is that the planet, not just my backyard, is indeed experiencing rapid warming, which is already affecting the agricultural, aquatic and forest ecosystems of Indiana.

Primary election system not ‘undemocratic’

21

Fresh set of eyes would help on hotel

Editor, In response to Beth Kurlander’s Jan. 28 letter decrying Indiana’s primary elections as “crazy and undemocratic,” it seems some clarification is in order.

In Indiana, we have nonpartisan voter registration. Voting in a primary election and selecting a party’s ballot is declaring yourself a member of that party. Effectively unenforceable as your ballot is secret, there is an Indiana law stipulating that a primary voter should have either most recently or intends to next cast a majority of their votes for that party’s candidates.

For political parties that qualify to participate, primaries are the internal business of selecting what candidates that party’s voters desire to represent them in the general election. The participation threshold in Indiana is 10 percent or more in the last secretary of state’s race.

While an argument might be made that this is internal party business conducted at taxpayer expense, it is not inherently ‘undemocratic.’

Sean Shepard, Carmel

Editor, The monthly budget my husband and I use helps us not only reflect on our spending but also helps keep ourselves in check. Having both of us look over monthly spending provides us a quick and easy check and balance.

Reading about the multi-million dollar cost overrun on the luxury hotel project made me wonder if we have an independent consultant who oversees large capital projects for our city. I am sure we have city officials watching things, but a fresh set of eyes who is not hired by the city’s leadership might be something to consider in order to help monitor spending.

As a former school principal, we had outside auditors come in once a quarter to review the school’s accounts. It was invaluable to have their expertise guide us as we worked to be fiscally responsible with taxpayers’ money. Does it make sense to spend a few thousand dollars to identify when spending is running high? This way, the city leaders could meet with the contractors to review what could be done to slow down costs.

I am grateful for the work of our mayor and city council to value every dollar from taxpayers; just wondering if we need someone outside of our elected leadership to keep an eye on capital-project spending.

Shelley Carey, Carmel

Good advice from Anker Editor, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Terry Anker’s weekly comments, but I particularly enjoyed his last one. I think our city and our country would be so much better if we tried putting ourselves in others’ lives and tried to understand what they potentially have experienced. Keep up the good work.

Camp Invention, a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, provides a unique experience for children to make discoveries about the importance of intellectual property while exploring, creating and designing, Torisky said.

“Each year, the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s greatest inventors — the NIHF Inductees,” Torisky said. “For 2020, the Elevate curriculum features video challenges from these Inductees encouraging children to be confident in their ideas and explore their ability to innovate.”

What follows are descriptions of the hands-on modules: • Camp Invention Flight Lab: Imaginations soar as children learn about flight with gliders, rockets, heliballs and hand-copters. They build a cityscape from upcycled materials, navigate

• Design Thinking Project: Campers learn the value of their creativity as they bring their biggest ideas to life. To become successful innovators, they create sketches, build prototypes, design logos and learn how to pitch their inventions.

• Rescue Squad: Using teamwork and problem-solving skills, children protect Earth’s ecosystems. Inspiring activities include creating pods to compete in zip line races, exploring energy conservation, eliminating pollution and more.

• Camp Invention Champions: As they discover the unseen inventors behind their favorite sports, campers apply their own ingenuity. They trade inventor playing cards, create and play their own high-energy hover ball games and design and build the ultimate sports complex.

Campers learn to sail at the Indianapolis Sailing Club’s summer camp.

Students set sail at ISC summer camp

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Indianapolis Sailing Club, 11325 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis, once again is offering summer GEIST camps teaching beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors how to sail or improve their skills.

The club is offering 6 1/2 weeks of camps, with the first half-week set aside exclusively for advanced sailors.

The remaining six weeks are for beginners, intermediate and advanced sailors.

“The nice thing about our camp is we break them up to beginner, intermediate and advanced groups and by age, so they can build on each other,” office manager Michelle Sarber said.

“We have beginners in every week, so you don’t have to know how to sail to come and hang out and learn.”

The camps are designed for ages 8 to 17. The club also offers a program with the sailing ranking system.

“You start as a senior recruit. Kids can choose to do this and they don’t have to, but as you learn, it builds

on itself and they get a ribbon and a certificate,” Sarber said. “That’s one of the reason kids come back year after year is to participate in that, too. There are seven rankings, and the end goal is to be a regatta skipper, and that is expert sailing skills. They can race and manage a boat on their own.”

Camps are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday. Weeklong camps begin June 8 and run through July 24.

Cost for a weeklong camp is $400 for nonmembers and $250 for members.

Discounts for multiple weeks or multiple kids are available. Kids bring their own lunch, lifejacket and towel. The sailing club provides boats and safety gear.

“We also have safety boats on the water all the time. There is a 1-to-3 ratio of staff to campers,” Sarber said.

“We sail with them if they need to, but a lot of them sail by themselves.

That’s how they learn best, but we are always on the water on safety boats.”

To register, visit indianapolissailing. org and print the camper form and return it to the club with a check.

Westfield Washington Township will open registration for its summer camps at 9 a.m. April 13. TownSUMMER ship Education Director Kristy White said many of the camps fill up on the first day.

Camps range in themes and are offered for preschool ages and ages 6 to 8 and 9 to 11.

“This is my 13th summer for camps,” White said. “When we started, we started just for preschool age because I found there was a need in the community for that. We started with Wild and Wacky and cooking, and I tried to do good, old, wholesome camp fun – tie-dying and being outside as much as possible.”

White eventually began offering camps for older children at the request of parents.

University camps feature arts, culture, sports and STEM

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Each year, University High School welcomes any student from any elementary, middle or high school to take part in Summer U, the school’s SUMMER annual camp series that spans two summer sessions and eight weeks.

With a focus on sports, STEM and skill-building, the 27 different camps vary widely.

“New this year, we have a French culture and language camp that is offered for two age ranges,” said Nila Nealy, summer programs coordinator at University High School. “And we are offering a board games camp as a low-tech partner to some of our returning hightech camps.”

In Summer Session 1, kids and parents can choose from 19 different camps. Sports camps include “Square 1” and “Multi-Sport” through a partnership with Indiana Primetime Sports.

A food science camp will blend STEM and skill-building. For students in grades 5 through 8, the weeklong camp will explore the science behind cooking.

“This camp is a version of our popular high school for-credit course that was offered during January term and includes hands-on food preparation to illustrate the science principles,” Nealy said.

University High School’s annual Summer U camp is open to all students, grades 1 through 12 in June and July.

Other camp options focused on creativity in Summer Session 1 include “Write Better in One Week,” “Film Production” and “Creative Writing,” among others.

In Summer U’s second summer session, “Square 1” and “Multi-Sport” will be offered each week from July 6 to July 24.

Summer Session 2 also will offer camps on strategy and STEM, including “Board Games,” “Thinking Mathematically,” “Game Design” and “Minecraft Coding & 3-D Printing,” among others.

Camp Cathedral returns, adds leadership sessions

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Each year, Cathedral High School offers several summer camps that cover interests.

EDUCATION Its Camp Cathedral series offers 57 different camps.

Seven weeks will be dedicated to getting students in grades 1 through 12 immersed in something new or refine a skill they may already have.

“One of our most popular selections is our STEM Minecraft Camps,” said Anthony Ernst, director of Camp Cathedral. “We host six STEM Minecraft Camps per summer, and there are various grade levels that these camps serve. At all our camps, children experience Minecraft through a customized educational version of the game played on a secure server that includes only other campers and that is continuously monitored by camp counselors.”

Ernst said he also is excited about offering two leadership retreats for middle school students, one for boys and one for girls.

Camp Purple returns

Our Gym is a Lot Like Summer Camp…

Fond memories, new friendships, guided fun, learning in a safe environment and movement toward a lifetime of activity.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Since 2011, Guerin Catholic High School in Noblesville has been home to Camp Purple.

Each summer, PROGRAMS the program offers a variety of athletic and enrichment camps open to any child entering kindergarten through eighth grade at the start of the 2020-21 school year.

“Since we’re a high school, we’re opening up our school in the summer,” Camp Purple Director Jill Folstrom said. “Our current students who are part of the Camp Purple Club are our counselors.”

Folstrom said when Camp Purple began, school administrators perceived a lack of faith-based summer camp offerings for families.

“Last year, we had 715 campers registered, but in terms of total campers, there were 936 throughout the whole summer,” Folstrom said. “It’s all on the Guerin Catholic campus, so parents can pick up and drop off there.

Ninety percent of our camps are halfday camps, but there are a couple of camps that are full day.”

Folstrom said Guerin’s most popular camps are its STEM camps, which are full day, and six Minecraft camps.

“A new camp that’s exciting is our farming camp. It’s called Farming Vegetables and Working for Justice,” she said. “One of our high school teachers will be teaching it, and we just got that approved to be a class for next year’s curriculum.”

CAMPS AT A GLANCE • Registration: Opens March 1 at guerincatholic.org/ summer-camps.

Camp Crosser, Club Daybreak return

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville will bring back two of its popular summer activities, BOYS AND Club Daybreak and GIRLS CLUB Camp Crosser. Both are open to club members.

Camp Daybreak is from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, from June 8 to July 31. It has three daily sessions – 7:30 to 11 a.m., 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. The early and late sessions are $9 and the middle session is free for club members.

Club Daybreak, for ages 6 to 12, is offered at the Boys & Girls Club, 1700 Conner St. “Registration spots are not limited for that, and that consists of all sorts of different educational activities, open space where they can explore our computer lab and art room and gym activities,” Director of Development Nathan Helm said. “There’s a wide range of different things and op-

portunities for field trips and cooking classes, different things like that.”

The highly attended Camp Crosser offers weeklong sessions from June 8 to July 31 for ages 6 to 12. Each session is $115 for members. At 8:30 a.m., campers are transported to the Camp Crosser site, approximately 10 minutes northeast of Noblesville. They return to the Boys & Girls Club at 4 p.m.

Camp Crosser activities include zip lining across the White River, arts and crafts, outdoors ports, archery, a pool day, campfire cooking and environmental education. There’s also an overnight stay on Thursdays. Campers should pack lunch.

“Camp Crosser sessions typically do always fill up,” Helm said.

Camp Crosser registration begins in early May, but a date hasn’t been set. When a date is set, it will be announced on the Boys & Girls Club’s Facebook page.

The club’s teen center also will be open during the summer. A Boys & Girls Club membership is $55 annually. For more, visit bgcni.org.

Bach to Rock features musical variety

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jennifer Flickner views Bach to Rock camps as offering something for everyone.

BANDS Bach to Rock, 2480 E. 146th St., Carmel, is owned by Flickner and her husband, Andy. It opened in the summer of 2018 and is the first franchise in Indiana.

“We have a variety of camps we offer, and we tailor them differently, depending on what age students are enrolled,” Flickner said. “We have a Rock Band camp and that will vary whether they are younger or older or whether they’ve played before or not.

We tweak it to the individual.”

During the Rock Band camp, students learn about different instruments.

“Then, they will do a performance for all of their fans,” Flickner said.

Rock Band, Glee Club and Intro to DJ are weeklong camps for ages 7 and older. Rock City World Tour is a weeklong camp for ages 4 to 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“It’s half-day but it’s a lot of musical introduction, so they are exposed to many instrumental and musical terms,” Flickner said.

Flickner said students can attend the morning camp, the afternoon or

combine both.

“They can take just what is interesting to them,” Flickner said.

Flickner said if interest is high, she and her husband have the ability to use more teachers for a particular camp.

“Last year, we would have one of the camps do something early in the summer and the kids would come back and repeat Rock Band because it’s going to be different kids in the band and different songs,” Flickner said. “Then, they might want to learn different instruments.”

Flickner is a former first-grade teacher in the Pike school system and worked in admissions and event planning at University High School.

“My husband, who has always had a love for music, was in the field of engineering,” she said.

Andy teaches guitar, drums and piano approximately 15 hours each week at the school.

The Flickners’ three older children are graduates of University High School. Stephen works full-time at Bach to Rock. David and Lauren are on staff during summer break from college to help with the camps and work the front desk. Youngest son Matthew, a Zionsville Community High School freshman, studies jazz piano at the school.

When physics teacher Matt Mulholland established Indy STEM Camps seven years ago in MINECRAFT Zionsville, he did so with a purpose of combining learning with fun.

It was, after all, what his own kids wanted.

“What began in 2012 with one Minecraft camp, a camp created at the request of my own children, has grown into an organization that has conducted over 150 camps and served more than 3,000 children in the Indianapolis metropolitan area,” said Mulholland, founder and director of Indy STEM Camps.

Beginning June 1, Indy STEM Camps is offering a series of nine, five-day Minecraft camps – with optional morning and afternoon sessions – for elementary and middle school-age children. Camps are available at five area locations and are structured around the popular Minecraft video

game, which challenges players to complete tasks — such as building structures or extracting raw materials — with special tools.

Mulholland, a longtime physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, is a lead counselor for several of the camps, which are staffed by a mix of experienced teachers and STEM-focused college students.

Besides ZCHS, camps are offered at University High School, Cathedral High School, Guerin Catholic High School and Fishers Riverside Intermediate School.

CYT camps at new site

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Christian Youth Theater’s summer camps will have a new site.

“The thing we’re THEATER most excited about is we have a camp in Zionsville for the first time this year,” CYT Executive Director Laura Baltz said. “A lot of families were traveling from Zionsville to other locations.”

This is the 11th season for the camps.

“We have many kids that come almost every week,” Baltz said. “We teach them all the theater basics, so it’s singing, dancing and acting. It’s working to get a show pulled off in a short period of time.”

Baltz said there are two weeks each for Under the Sea camp with a “The Little Mermaid” theme and Camp Hakuna Matata, which is themed “The Lion King.”

The weeklong day camps for ages 4 to 12 are Monday through Friday, with ages 4 to 7 staying half-days. Each

camp concludes with a performance for family and friends.

“With ‘Seussical Jr.,’ the teenagers put on a Broadway show in one week,” Baltz said.

The teens will audition, learn lines, music and choreography in five days and perform the entire musical on the final day.

“The teen camp is limited, so everyone who signs up for the teen camp will have a role in the musical,” Baltz said.

Church offers themed camps

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Geist Christian Church will offer several themed age-group camps this summer for children.

Kids Camps are for preKIDS school children ages 3 to kindergarten. Camp Quest is for students in first through sixth grade.

Kids Camps are offered at the Mud Creek campus, 8550 Mud Creek Rd., Indianapolis, and the Promise Road campus, 12756 Promise Rd., Fishers.

Camps are from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday.

There will be four Camp Quest sessions, two in June and two in July.

Each camp has a theme.

Campers do not have to attend the church. Open spots are available but Geist Christian Church Assistant Director Paula Mager said camps typically fill up.

“They all include motor development, art, faith and values, math and

science in a hands-on, play-based curriculum,” Mager said. “It’s great because it offers them an opportunity to play and to meet other children, to socialize but to still work on a few academic areas and give them a little bit of an ongoing schedule throughout the summer. It gives the parents a great break.”

The weekly fee is $90 per child. For more or to register, visit geistwdm. org/camps-and-clubs.

School of Rock keeps expanding its summer camp program.

“This year is unique GROWTH in that it’s the first summer we are having a camp pretty much every week,” said Nicole Roach, general manager for School of Rock Carmel Roach said there are weekly camps at the Carmel and Fishers sites. There are 11 different camps. Camps run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

At 3 p.m. on the Friday of camp, the students give a performance. The performances are usually in back of the SoHo Cafe in Carmel and in a Kroger parking lot in Fishers.

“Our youngest age range is 6 to 7, and we’re doing all the way up to age 18,” Roach said. “This summer we are covering all the bases.”

The camps for ages 6 to 7, called Rookies, gives the students exposure to all the rock band instruments,

Roach said.

“They’ll get exposure to guitar, bass, drums and then the microphone if they like to sing,” Roach said. “They’ll learn basic concepts of rhythm and play along to rock band songs, which is really cool.”

A new camp this year is 21st Century Modern Rock, including bands such as Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Imagine Dragons.

Watt a waste of energy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I hate going shopping for my wife. I don’t mean searching for a gift; I’m talking about running CELEBRATION OF LIFE EVENT: HUMOR an errand. I never find

exactly what she wants, AN EVENING OF JOY and I can’t even get milk right.

BENEFITTING PREGNANT, HOMELESS WOMEN AND BABIES “Dick, you know I drink almond

milk, unsweetened and organic,� she

said. “You got dairy, not almond, and

I’m color blind, this looks like

unless

chocolate milk to me.�

If you see a guy in Kroger speaking

with his wife on his cell, it’s because

he has no idea where the tahini is —

or what it is.

Last week, Mary Ellen wanted me

to go to the hardware store to get

some light bulbs for our kitchen. I

said, “I’m not going back to the store

four times. Tell me exactly what kind

of bulbs you want.� “OK, I’ll text it to you.�

Here’s the message I got:

Diameter: 1.88 inches Base type: Medium Voltage: 130 Lumens: 700 Wattage: 60 Saturday, February 29 � 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Life Hours: 3,500 CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY Bulb Type: LED Color: Frosted MAIN LIBRARY PROGRAM ROOM “Mary Ellen, you have to be kidding me,� I texted back. “I have no chance to get this right.� “Look, those specs are exactly what we need for our new kitchen lighting.

And make sure the clerk knows that all the fixtures are recessed.�

There must have been 100 different

kinds of bulbs, stacked to the ceiling. I put my glasses on and tried to read the small print on the sides of the boxes. Incredibly, the lighting in that part of the store was lousy.

One brand boasted that the bulbs in the box would last 25 years. This was not good enough for me. I’m only 73, and when I spend that kind of money on bulbs, I want a lifetime guarantee. The model number for another type of bulbs was 1003024303, which sounded like I had one chance in about 100 billion to end up with the right ones.

I never found exactly what she wanted, so there was some tension between us when we talked on the phone. That’s when I decided to inject a little humor. Later, I walked in the house with a bulb in my mouth. “Having a light snack?� Mary Ellen asked. Darn! She beat me to the punch line, which always ticks me off.

We agreed that having me shop for her was never a good idea. It was getting late and we were hungry. “Why don’t you go get a carry-out pizza for us?� Mary Ellen asked. “OK, can you tell me what toppings you want? I don’t want to make any more mistakes.� “Whatever you want,� she said. “I’m not particular.�

Don’t cry over dry eyes Commentary by Jeremy Ciano It’s not the winter blues. It’s not the Christmas credit card hangovers.

So, why are so many paVISION tients experiencing tearing this time of year?

Ironically, it’s because their eyes are dry. Simply put, when someone’s eyes are dry, the body automatically turns on the “faucets” and starts overproducing tears to help soothe and lubricate the dry eyes. This time of year is especially brutal on the body, with chapped lips, dry/cracked hands and flaky/itchy skin all very prevalent during these colder/drier winter months. Why wouldn’t we expect the eyes to be any different?

The eyes need fresh tears on a constant basis, which is why we blink naturally every five seconds or so — except when we are staring at the computer; then our blink rate drops to every 10 to 15 seconds. It is especially important to keep a bottle of artificial tears next to your keyboard and

proactively use drops every hour or two. It is soothing, refreshing and it actually improves your vision!

Other simple over-the-counter tricks to consider are using a high-quality, preservative-free artificial tear instead of the mass-marketed “junk tears” that are used to only whiten your eyes. There are many very good OTC products to choose from at your local drugstore, depending on your symptoms and severity.

There also are gels and gel drops to use right before bed. These thicker lubricants are wonderful for overnight use to ensure you start the day off fully hydrated especially for a significant majority of unsuspecting folks who actually sleep with their eyes not fully closed at night!

Let’s look at rare diseases Commentary by Charles Nakar Feb. 29 is the next Leap Day, and the rarity of the occasion — of living 366 days in one year MEDICINE — is a chance to celebrate the uncommon.

We use Leap Day in the medical world to celebrate our care for patients with rare diseases, which are defined in the U.S. as those that affect fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time.

Imagine going to your primary care provider and then a long list of subspecialists — none of whom can determine the cause of your concerns or have ever seen a similar case.

Research is key in advancing the diagnosis and treatment of rare conditions. At the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center, we treat rare conditions like hemophilia, plasminogen deficiency, PAI-1, thalassemia and more, and research to advance treat-

ments for these and other more common conditions is reliant on patient participation. While researchers and physicians are provided with data to help advance therapies, patients are often given access to groundbreaking treatment to help improve their quality of life — when there might have been little hope in sight.

Advocating for your own health is so important. Your primary care provider is the first place to start, but remain persistent if you’re still searching for answers. Whether a common condition or rare, your tenacity could significantly change your outcome.

‘My lower back hurts’ Commentary by John Karesh One of the most common complaints I hear from clients is their lower back hurts. Low back PAIN pain is extremely common with men and women. As we age, common problems we have are degenerative discs, weak core and poor flexibility.

It isn’t as difficult as you believe to get your back healthy and functional.

Here are some tips to rid yourself of lower back pain. It may not be a fix for everyone, but it probably will help at least 90 percent of the crowd.

Warm up the leg muscles Simply go for a walk, use your treadmill or any type of cardio machine, or walk up and down your stairs. The goal of the warmup is to warm up your leg muscles. When they are warm they will stretch easier. The analogy of cold taffy being warmed up comes to my mind. The warmer the taffy, the more it will stretch.

Stretching legs When we talk about stretching

legs, the main focus is the hamstrings, adductors and hip flexors. If you cannot touch your toes, that’s probably a good indicator that flexibility is a problem. The easiest way to understand this is your leg muscles that surround the low back are so tight that they are constantly putting tension on the low back. The nerves in your spine are very sensitive to pressure, and if you can relieve the pressure or tight muscles, many times that will relieve the back pain.

Strengthen legs and core Your core is comprised of your abdominal muscles and lower back. Your core provides support to your torso and, in turn, protects your back. Weak muscles in the core can leave your back vulnerable to lower-back pain.

Hanna started selling the service in Indiana and then began selling it nationally to decrease design and construction errors.

“The technology can scan hundreds of thousands of square feet in a couple of days,” he said. “Then we offer the architect and the engineer the ability to design around real-world conditions.”

Within two years, Hanna moved the business from his home to a Carmel office. The company later moved to its present office at 301 E. Carmel Dr. The business is looking to move to a larger Carmel office and add to its 10 employees.

“We are within walking distance of several engineering and architectural firms,” PrecisionPoint project lead Will Hirschfield said. “It’s easy to get to Indianapolis. We do a lot of scanning in Marion County for schools in the K through 12 sector and higher education, so we are in Bloomington, West Lafayette and South Bend.”

Hanna said the company works with national clients such as Federal Express, Ford, Apple, Google and Tesla.

Hanna said the company received a $1 million tax grant and a $200,000 skills training grant from the state in 2018.

“That’s the newest thing. We do have some part-time positions that will be offered to help people get back into the workforce.”

Studio Series gives performers, audience more intimate experience

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeff McDermott had two main missions in launching the Studio Series at his CarMUSIC mel venue.

“The genesis of this is two-fold: To provide a more intimate Studio Series to our patrons and also give an opportunity to some local and regional artists who might otherwise be playing in a variety of restaurants and bars to have a more sit-down patron experience where they can not only play their music but have a dialogue with the audience,” McDermott said.

McDermott said the goal is to attract a younger audience to more casual events at its black-box Studio Theater, which can be set up in various configurations from standing space to 200-person seating.

“We have cocktail tables set up inside the theater, but the focus is the music and the artists,” McDermott said. “A goal is to offer something that is at a real modest price level, too. We’re restricting the pricing so a lot of people can come to it and enjoy it.”

The series kicked off Dec. 6, 2019 with a co-headlined bill of singer/ songwriter Brett Wiscons and indie folk band Sarah Grain & the Billions of Stars. The series returns with Allison Victoria and her band at 8 p.m. Feb. 29.

Victoria, a singer/songwriter, has built a strong fan base since she began playing Indianapolis open-mic events in 2016. She was a featured artist at the Arts Council of Indianapolis’ 2019 Art & Soul festival. Her music is described as a blend of soul, hip-hop, R&B, folk and gospel sounds.

Grain, an Indianapolis resident, said the Studio Theater performance was no question her favorite performance of the year.

“Sometimes, it can be nice to set up and play at a bar where your goal is to simply provide ambience for guests to enjoy the company they came with,” Grain said. “However, playing for a listening-room audience like what was provided to us through our Studio Theater performance is incredibly rare and special. Instead of playing one song after the other, I was able to engage in storytelling, share background about each song’s meaning and engage with the audience on a personal level. The attendees who had seen me previously in a variety of different venues said our Studio Theater performance was the best they’d ever seen our band.

“They said they could hear every note, every word, and it allowed them to drop into the stories we were telling and the musical land-

scape we laid out for them.”

Grain said more Indianapolis venues are stepping up to provide music to customers and are willing to pay and provide a good atmosphere to the musicians.

Other Studio Series concerts set so far are 800 lb. Gorilla, April 4, and Veseria, May 30.

“I would absolutely love the chance to play the Studio Theater again, but in the meantime, I look forward to seeing other great Indianapolis artists there,” Grain said.

“There are so many worthy local artists that deserve to be heard in the intimacy of the Studio Theater.”

Broadway leading ladies stop at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Maureen McGovern, there is one thing that really stands out about participating in a 4 CONCERT Girls 4 concert.

“What I love about the show, when we are backstage or on the stage, it’s a laughing fest for us,” she said. “We have such a good time and it’s the most laughter I have in 24 hours than I can ask for. We all love each other’s talent as well.”

The 4 Girls 4: Broadway’s Leading Ladies in Concert is set for an 8 p.m.

Feb. 29 performance at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

McGovern, 70, is joined by Andrea McArdle, Donna McKechnie and Faith Prince.

“It’s the icing on the cake every year we get together,” McGovern said.

“It was sisterhood at first sight.”

The group’s first concert was March 2014. McGovern didn’t know any of the other women well before it began but remembers seeing McKechnie in “A Chorus Line.”

“That changed my life seeing the show,” McGovern said. “When she sang ‘The Music and the Mirror,’ I just wept and wept. I met them all in passing before getting together.”

McArdle was the original in the title role of “Annie” on Broadway.

McGovern said she knew Kaye Ballard, who was part of the original 4 Girls 4 tour with Rosemary Clooney and Helen O’Connell, from appearing together in “The Pirates of Penzance.”

“I remember seeing a TV version of it,” McGovern said.

So, when she was approached about performing in a new version, she quickly agreed. They have been performing together since 2014.

Sometimes, another leading lady will step in to join the group.

“We all have other concerts and other things, so we’re not always ready to do the next show,” she said.

McGovern said the women sing together and then each has a 20-minute solo set of five to six songs.

A special moment in her show is when she sings “Over the Rainbow” a cappella.

McGovern first came to prominence for “The Morning After,” an Academy Award-winning song from the disaster film “The Poseidon Adventure.”

The song is always a staple of her performances.

She then sang “We May Never Love Like This Again,” which won the 1974 Oscar for best original song for the film “The Towering Inferno.” McGovern had a brief appearance in the movie playing a singer. She also did a song in “Gold,” a British disaster film. The song, “Wherever Love Takes Me,” was nominated for an Academy Award in 1974 as well.

“I was known as the disaster theme queen,” McGovern said.

McGovern, who was born in Youngstown, Ohio, and now lives in central Ohio, said she does short concert tours.

“I’ve been on a plane too much in my life,” she said.

McGovern does a lot of special performances in Ohio in hospices and in a women’s prison.

“To think you can go someplace and take away their pain for an hour, it’s uplifting and fills your heart,” she said.

IWS to celebrate composer

ONE OF THIS CENTURY’S MOST BELOVED COMEDIES!

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com John Williams’ film compositions are well-known by music and movie fans alike.

CONCERT The Indiana Wind Symphony will present “John Williams Film Fantasia” at 3 p.m. March 1 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“We’ll be doing the real well-known ones like ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Jaws’ and ‘ET,’ IWS Music Director Charlie Conrad said. “Probably the only one that is not well-known, but I think is one of his best, is ‘War Horse.’”

The concerts will start with the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” theme.

“My personal favorite is ‘E.T.’ but the whole saga of ‘Star Wars’ nine movies tied together with all the music is almost a version (Richard) Wagner did with the ring cycle with the four operas,” Conrad said. “It’s an amazing achievement.”

There also will be Williams’ two Olympic pieces. The only piece not

by Williams the IWS is doing is the “Egmont Overture,” by Ludwig van Beethoven, in the first act.

“2020 is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, so we’re going to celebrate that for a whole year, with each concert having a piece by Beethoven or a piece inspired by Beethoven,” Conrad said.

Actor relishes ‘Cat’ role

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jonathan Studdard gets his workout while performing in the title role of “The Cat in the Hat.” MUSICAL The Indianapolis resident is performing in the Civic Theatre production of the musical based on Dr. Seuss’ book for the third consecutive year.

“It is very active and never stops moving, so it is always nice to get the cardio in,” Studdard said.

Civic presents “The Cat in the Hat” from Feb. 25 to March 5 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“With the show there are so many fun parts to it. However, one of my favorite parts of the show would be when Thing 1 and Thing 2 enter the scene,” Studdard said. “It is a lot of mischief that happens.”

This is the second consecutive year the entire cast returns.

in her fifth year of the show, plays Sally.

“I feel like it can be very challenging playing a child. They have such different mannerisms and what they find funny can vary,” Norton said.

“Not to mention the sheer amount of energy most kids have, it is insane, which is why I’m exhausted after every show. But it is definitely worth it.

I have so much fun doing it.”

Unified approach needed Commentary by Jeff McDermott The Center for the Performing Arts recently hosted our annual Sponsor Summit, a gathering TOURISM for local business leaders who generously support our mission to discuss issues of the day and hear from other local and state leaders about topics of interest.

Our guest speaker for this year’s event at the Palladium was financial consultant Elaine Bedel, secretary and CEO of the Indiana Destination Development Corp. The mission of this newly formed public/private agency is to “brand, promote, and tell Indiana’s authentic story to both attract and retain businesses, talent, students, and visitors.”

Without a unified statewide message and a collaborative effort to tell our story, it’s easy for us to be dismissed as flyover country.

The state’s holistic approach to these issues should dovetail nicely with the ongoing collaborations we enjoy here in our area, where the Hamilton County Tourism office partners with the Center, Grand Park, Conner Prairie and many other organizations and attractions to create a unified picture of a vibrant community that attracts tourism dollars and corporate investment to our local economy.

Looking more broadly to central Indiana, one factor we could improve upon is collaborating, funding and sharing information across city and county lines.

Foodies unite on Facebook

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Chris Pike moved to Noblesville in August 2019 from a Boston suburb.

He was surprised when he FOOD couldn’t find any Facebook food groups for Hamilton County. So, he started one.

Hamilton County Eats and Drinks launched Dec. 22, 2019. It attracted 500 members in the first week. Now, it’s at approximately 1,800 members.

“There are 40 to 50 (Facebook groups) back home, and I was baffled there weren’t any here,” Pike said.

“People like to go out to eat and talk about their food and take pictures and put it on their own timeline, but now you have a whole group of people who can interact with foodies.”

Pike said the exposure is beneficial for restaurants. Although he’s a chef at Deer Creek Pub and Bistro in Noblesville, he doesn’t mind when group members post about other restaurants.

“I’ve found a lot of places I wouldn’t

Restaurants frequently post their menus and food photos, and diners also post pictures and reviews.

Posts can be from areas outside of Hamilton County. Group membership is free.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9709 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Lobster-cargot Price: $24 Anna’s take: I’m always one to try something new. I first sampled escargot a few years ago while vacationing in the Caribbean. Since then, it has become one of my favorite dishes, so when I visited The HC Tavern + Kitchen in The Yard at Fishers District, I was thrilled to see escargot and lobster-cargot on the menu. The buttery morsels have a hint of garlic and are topped with a rich Havarti cheese.

A side of Tuscan bread is served for dipping. The escargot is $14. The lobster-cargot is a bit pricier but worth the splurge. Other excellent starters include bourbon maple candied bacon ($16), locally sourced from Smoking Goose, and steamed shrimp dumplings ($14), served with a ponzu sauce.

Suggested pairings: Try the Apothecary ($12), an infusion of New Amsterdam Grapefruit Vodka, Pamplemousse Rose Liqueur, Aperol, pineapple, lemon and fresh beet juice. It has a vibrant color and taste.

Blueprint for Improvement: Great outdoor living Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. A new roof was constructed to provide shade and features a gorgeous tongue and groove ceiling. Beneath the porch roof is an outdoor kitchen and seating area.

2. The outdoor kitchen features a bar for seating and space for a grill and beverage refrigerator.

3. The stairs leading outside were widened and hand rail added.

4. On the opposite side is a custom firepit with plenty of room for seating on all sides.

5. A stamped concrete patio ties all the areas together.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1996, this home is in the North Harbour neighborhood in Noblesville, on the north side of Morse Reservoir.

The homeowners wanted to capitalize on their generously sized backyard to create a versatile outdoor living space for their family to enjoy.

Who doesn’t like a good meme?

Usually, by the time I learn about one, the internet has moved on to the next 522 memes GRAMMAR GUY of the week.

Right now, my favorite one has to be “you had one job,” in which people share photos of the result of an obvious blunder made by someone whose job it was to get it right, but, alas, that person found a way to mess it up. It would be as if my job was to write about grammar, but instead, I chose to write about internet memes for an entire article.

Conjunctive adverbs have one job: They connect words, phrases and clauses to provide clarification for what the writer or speaker is saying.

If someone told you that you had a bad case of conjunctive adverbs, you’d probably go to the doctor to get it checked; however, that’s not their purpose at all.

I just illustrated my point. In

the last sentence of the previous paragraph, the word “however” is a conjunctive adverb. Other examples include “moreover,” “hence,” “consequently,” “likewise,” “therefore” and “nonetheless.” Whenever a conjunctive adverb connects two complete ideas, the modifier requires a semicolon before it.

If your interruption is mild, don’t go wild by adding commas.

Here’s another telltale sign of a conjunctive adverb: commas. Indeed, conjunctive adverbs pair well with punchy punctuation. Conjunctive adverbs introduce, interrupt or conclude a main clause. Accordingly, here are some examples: “I should have been sleeping. Instead, our 2-year-old was kicking my back in our bed all night.”

Here’s a real-life example from Sen. Mitch McConnell: “Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had

appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

Finally, if a conjunctive adverb injects a rather weak break or interruption, don’t add a comma: “Byron couldn’t find any nacho cheese at the store. He will therefore eat dry tortilla chips tonight.” “My 2-year-old kicked me in the back until I scooted to the edge of the bed. She’s a notoriously nocturnal bully indeed.” If your interruption is mild, don’t go wild by adding commas.

I like conjunctive adverbs. They connect ideas to allow us to clarify our point of view. Because of this, consequently, I recommend you recognize conjunctive adverbs and appreciate them the next time you see or hear one out in the real world.

Department Project:

The north side of Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, Portugal. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting Lisbon’s Monumental Square Commentary by Don Knebel Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square) is one of Europe’s most monumental public TRAVEL squares. It owes its existence to a monumental catastrophe.

By 1500, Portuguese seafarers had explored the western coast of Africa and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to India, bringing enormous prosperity to Portugal. Reflecting this prosperity, King Manuel I built the magnificent Ribeira Palace along the Tagus River, the site of Lisbon’s busy port. Dignitaries visiting Lisbon from around the world entered the palace by way of a grand marble staircase rising from the river’s edge. On Nov. 1, 1755, during the reign of King José I, a powerful earthquake, followed by fires and a tsunami, destroyed most of Lisbon, including the Ribeira Palace and the 200,000 books in its library.

Almost immediately, King José ordered a massive rebuilding project along the river to demonstrate the resilience of the Portuguese people.

The site of the destroyed palace became the location of a huge public

square, with a symmetrical building at its southern end, accessible from the river by the same steps that once led to the palace. In 1775, a statue was dedicated in the square, showing a mounted King José crushing snakes, symbolizing the forces that had destroyed the city. At the center of the building, leading to the river, is the 100-foot-tall Rua Augusta Triumphal Arch. The arch, which can be climbed for a spectacular view of Lisbon, includes the inscription, “The Virtues of the Greatest,” and includes statues of Portuguese heroes, including Vasco de Gama, the first European to reach India by sea.

In 1908, Republican assassins killed King Carlos I and his son in the Praça do Comércio, leading to the downfall of the monarchy. For a time, the square was used as a parking lot, but today it has been restored to its original grandeur.
