Carmel Marathon scheduled to return April 16

By Adam Aasen “ PSP\/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Six years ago, Todd Oliver was trying to spread the word about this new event called the Carmel Marathon.

RUNNING He was selling the event, calming fears about road closures and telling everyone how this 26.2-mile race will add to Carmel’s reputation.

In 2016, Oliver now sees himself less as a salesman and more of an ambassador. “It’s really built up a strong reputation, not just in Indiana, but across the country,� said Oliver, race director and founder. “And I think now a lot of business owners really see how many people come in for this event and how much it benefits the city.�

Some things have been kept the same for 2016’s race, April 16. The courses for the half marathon and full marathon are the same as last year. There will be “cheer zones� along

the roads again this year. The fitness expo will again be held at the Monon Community Center the day before.

But Oliver said he’s always looking to add new things. The courses for the 5K and 8K will be slightly altered to improve traffic flow and allow all four races to start at the same time and follow some of the same course. There’s also a new feature where a participant can run both the Carmel Half Marathon and the Geist Half Marathon on May Oliver 21 and receive an embroidered jacket, collector’s edition medal and VIP access to both events. It costs $50 to sign up for this challenge but doesn’t include entry fees for each race.

There’s also a new challenge called the AmeriFirst Sprint to the Finish, which pays cash prizes for participants who record the biggest difference between their overall pace and their last half-mile split. The top three male and female finishers will receive $100 for first,

$75 for second and $50 for third in the marathon and half-marathon events.

Oliver said the Carmel Marathon has built up a reputation for being a “runner’s race� because it isn’t as packed as an event such as the Mini Marathon, which boasts around 35,000 participants. The event is capped at 1,000 for the full 26.2-mile race and 2,000 for the 13.1-mile half marathon. The Carmel Marathon weekend has more than 4,000 participants between all four races, and Oliver expects attendance to be up this year. “A lot of people say they run Carmel to go after a personal record,� he said. “A lot of the time it’s so crowded that it’s hard to do your best at some other races.�

Many say the April race has better weather than May’s Mini Marathon or November’s Monumental Marathon, both in Indianapolis. “We’re about 10 degrees difference usually than a month later,� Oliver said.

Courtyard renovation on track

By Adam Aasen “ PSP\/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The Carmel Redevelopment Commission is moving forward with plans to renovate the interior plaza of the SOPHIA SQUARE Sophia Square Apartments on Main Street to create a public space for events.

The Carmel City Council previously approved $50,000 to design the courtyard, which has been described as, “a multi-purpose civic plaza serving residents and merchants of Sophia Square, City of Carmel festival goers, visitors of the Arts and Design District and individuals/ organizations that would reserve the space for special events.�

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard recently discussed plans for the project, which hasn’t been bid out yet but could cost up to $800,000. He said the project is funded through the CRC’s budget and was intended to already be underway by now, but officials held off during the recession. The CRC also had some room in the budget after settling lawsuits dealing with the Palladium. “We are finally getting back to the original plan now that the recession is behind us,�

Brainard said.

The CRC aims to complete the project in

2016 but a start date hasn’t been set.

Plans show a large double-sided limestone fireplace that allows the courtyard to be enjoyed year round. There are fire pits and seating areas and green screens to provide privacy to the apartment building’s pool. It includes two breezeways with lights and benches. And there’s room dedicated for outdoor dining for several businesses, including The Pint Room.

Some city councilors previously expressed concerns about using public money to build outdoor dining for private businesses. Brainard said these areas are meant for the public and aren’t owned by the businesses. He said restaurants — which can change — can apply to use the space.

Blood drive held in honor of teen battling leukemia

By Adam Aasen “ PSP\/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Matt Cooper likes to stay busy. He studies all the time to keep up his 4.0 grade-point average, while still makGIVING BACK ing time for cross country and intramural basketball.

But nowadays, Cooper pedals approximately 20 miles a day on his stationary bike indoors.

He’d rather be out running track and field with his friends at Carmel High School, but instead he’s confined to a hospital room.

On Feb. 16, this 17-year-old junior was diagnosed was leukemia.

Cooper’s form of leukemia can progress quickly if not treated. Making things worse, Cooper discovered recently that he has a gene mutation that puts him at a higher risk. He needs a bone marrow transplant as part of his treatment and his family is looking for the best match for him.

Two blood drives are scheduled to help raise awareness and possibly find a bone marrow match. The first is from 2 to 7 p.m.

March 29 at Hazel Dell Christian Church, 14501 Hazel Dell Parkway. Another drive is set for April 21 at CHS for students and faculty.

Anyone can join Matt’s bone marrow registry by visiting join.bethematch.org/Matt.

In the meantime, Matt is stuck in his hospital room. His many friends have visited him — one visit included around 50 people according to his mother, Debbie — but now he’s limited to the same four visitors because of a flu bug going around. “Matt sometimes looks at his hospital room as his jail cell,� Debbie said.

Matt Cooper enjoys “It’s tough being in running but is now confined to a hospital the same room, day room. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^ after day. He’s being strong. But he misses his friends.�

Debbie wishes her son could go back to school, but it seems unlikely since his treatments are expected to continue once a month for more than two years. “What was really devastating is to find out he really can’t go back to high school,� she said. “For about a year after the bone marrow transplant, he needs to be in isolation.�

HOW TO HELP “ Blood drive – 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 29 at Hazel Dell Christian Church, 14501 Hazel Dell Parkway. Open to the public.

To speak with someone about hosting a bone marrow drive or for volunteer opportunities, contact Angela Touseull at 317-916-5110.

While Matt could sleep all day or play video games, he said he’d rather be productive with his time, even though he can get exhausted from fighting cancer. He tries to work out every day, something he was inspired to do after reading, “Every Day I Fight,� by Stuart Scott, an ESPN anchor who died of cancer. “That’s really motivating to read,� he said. “I don’t want the cancer to change everything in my life.�

Susie Talbott Zweig, a friend of the Coopers for many years, said she wanted to find a way to help the Cooper family. So she helped set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical expenses and allow Debbie to quit her job and take care of her son full time for at least a year. The page is at gofund.me/nhpg9bb8. “Matt’s just the kind of kid that everyone wants to help, because he cares about everyone else,� she said.

Since going on his first African safari when he was 12, Evan Heckman was hooked on the beauty of the continent’s wildlife. “It’s been my passion, and I TRAVEL decided to make a career out of it,� he said.

Heckman made several safari trips with his mother, Karyn, who died in November.

A former Carmel resident, Heckman, 28, is a private safari guide working for Africa Inscribed, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He said these safaris are for photographical purposes, not hunting. “We specialize in trips for families or multigenerational families or groups of friends,�

Heckman said. “It’s mainly for groups of two to 18 people.�

Heckman travels with his clients throughout Africa. He has been working in African tourism for the past three years.

After earning his Field Guide Association of Southern Africa certification, Heckman learned from working with some of the top guides at Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe. He then got his trails guide license so he can do walking safaris.

Heckman will conduct his first walking safari tour later this month. He will lead groups

Heckman was born in Noblesville and his family moved to Carmel when he was nine.

After his parents moved to Florida after his seventh-grade year at Clay Middle School, Heckman returned to Indiana to attend Culver Military Academy, graduating in 2006. When in the United States, Heckman splits time living with former neighbors in Carmel and with his parents in Sarasota, marketing his safaris in both areas.

Heckman recently partnered with the Indiana Retired Teachers Association to offer a 12-day Southern African tour. Five percent of each trip Heckman books goes back to the retired teachers group.

To Heckman, the male lion is the most beautiful animal. “From an observation standpoint, I love watching elephants and their behavior and all the tendencies they have,� he said.

CSO luncheon a labor of love

By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Doris Polak’s love affair with music turned into another lifelong love affair.

A clarinetist, she met her future husband, Joe, a bassoonist, at a FUNDRAISER symphony rehearsal at Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University). Six weeks later, they were engaged. When Joe died at age 70 from pancreatic cancer in 2008, they had shared that love of music for 46 years of marriage. “Music has always been the string that pulled us together,� Polak said.

Polak, 76, moved to Carmel to be near her son and his family and soon became involved with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra League because her friend was president of the group. Now Polak is chair of the group’s annual spring luncheon, which is set from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 at the Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St., Carmel.

This is the sixth year for the CSO League luncheon, the group’s only annual fundraiser.

There will be a basket raffle to raise funds. “That’s how we make our money,� Polak said “We have a wonderful group of women who not only get ready for the baskets but

The program includes symphony members talking about their lives as musicians, and they will perform as a quartet.

Students win online safety contest

By Heather Lusk Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ Three students from Carmel Clay Schools were selected for their winning ideas in Bright House Networks and ACHIEVEMENT Net Literacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Students Speaking Out for Safety contest.

The contest, open to elementary, middle and high school students, was part of Bright House Networks and Net Literacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push to promote youth as advocates in internet safety.

Winners received the opportunity to present their message in a professionally produced public service announcement. The short videos will also be used by teachers, parents and nonprofit organizations to reinforce ef-

Steve Martin is a huge history buff and he has the perfect job to pursue his passion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people that are interHISTORY ested in this kind of thing are not living in the past, they appreciate the past,â&#x20AC;? said Martin, who has been a reference/government documents librarian at Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond for 27 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see the magnificent things our people did locally, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Carmel or east central Indiana, you are in awe. I hope young people will see this as a solid foundation for their heritage.â&#x20AC;?

Martin spoke on the life of Union soldiers from east central Indiana at the Hamilton Co. Civil War Roundtable March 9 at Carmel City Hall. He shared several letters. One was about a solider witnessing the execution of a deserter. Martin and Duane Reed co-wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honor Eternal: Wayne County Men in the Civil War.â&#x20AC;?

Martin said.

Martin is most adept at east central Indiana history because he has been has been writing about it since 2006 in a weekly history column for the Richmond Palladium-Item. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work in the library, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mecca for information,â&#x20AC;?

Muskrats at home in Central Park

By Amanda Foust Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\

@ the corner of Rangeline Rd. & 126th St. www.carmelumc.org

Carmelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Park may best be known as the home of the Monon Community Center, but its natural wetlands have WILDLIFE also come to be known as home to pack of muskrats.

The rodents weigh in at approximately three pounds and have long, dark reddishbrown fur. They look a bit like beavers but are related to the vole.

The muskrats live in dirt mounds built with cattails and aquatic plants, which also serve as the main source of food in their diets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work to control cattails, which helps with keeping the population in control,â&#x20AC;? said Lindsay Labas, Carmel Clay Parks marketing director.

Carmel has the first city park system in Indiana to be Wildlife Friendly Certified. This means that the department is committed to not making changes in the area to disturb the wildlife living there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are safe in their natural habitat,â&#x20AC;?

Labas said.

Some residents have expressed concern that the muskrats will move into nearby sub-

Muskrats, like the one shown here, live in dirt mounds in Carmelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Park. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

divisions with pond access. This is not likely to happen, Labas said, because of the sterile waters and lack of food sources.

Park officials hope to educate the community on the muskrats and show how they rely on native plants and species in the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system to survive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full circle survival in the wetlands,â&#x20AC;?

Labas said.

Signs with information on the muskrats are planned to be posted in early summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working on interpretive signage that will be placed in Central Park near the mounds,â&#x20AC;? Labas said.

Carmel resident trains assistance dogs to help those in need Blake Gipson and Kiwi. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

Brett Lemieux works with Labrador retrievers at his Carmel home. (Photo by Theresa Skutt)

By Mark Ambrogi Â&#x201C; \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Brett Lemieux didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to imagine the value an assistance dog can have. He could see it up close.

His girlfriend Amy Ettingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16-yearCOVER STORY old son, Blake Gipson, who has cerebral palsy, has benefited from a Canine Companions for Independence graduate for six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw how awesome they were and what the organization does for people,â&#x20AC;? Lemieux said.

The Carmel resident had been involved with CCI for more than five years and is a certified facilitator â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or handler â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for Ettingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog. So he decided to help train a puppy to be a future service dog.

Lemieux, 36, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new to working with dogs. He has had 12 foster dogs in the past through a Labrador retriever organization in Indianapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a little more rewarding seeing what they do, how they do it and what they use the dogs for,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lemieux received Kaya, a Labrador who will be a year old in June, when she was nearly three months old. He will turn Kaya over to CCI in February 2017 for final training. Because the organization relies 100 percent on its volunteers, Lemieux is responsible for paying for Kayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food, medical care and other expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the experience through the fostering where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

done pretty much all puppies and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just basically fostering them until they find a family,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had them from a week up to five months. You know where they are going, but you definitely get attached to them.â&#x20AC;?

However, Lemieux said there is another side to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see the rewards to it if the dog graduates and goes to a family,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully you can keep in touch with that family and see how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it for a good cause.â&#x20AC;?

Lemieux said his duties are to be an advanced obedience trainer and work on socializing the dog. Kaya is used to children as his daughter, Madison, 11, and son, Jaxson, 10, often stay with him.

In addition, he has two male rescue Labradors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re big boys. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot of fun and helped (Kaya) a lot,â&#x20AC;? Lemieux said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She picked up on stuff a lot quicker. They keep her in line.â&#x20AC;?

Lemieux said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to have Kaya experience different weather and public atmospheres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not scared of anything and nothing is unusual to her,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Being a handler for Gipsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labrador, Kiwi, has helped Lemieux train Kaya.

Ettinger, a Fishers resident, said Kiwi has been instrumental in her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotional and social needs. â&#x20AC;?Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone through several surgeries and Kiwi has been a

comfort to him in his recovery,â&#x20AC;? Ettinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a motivation in his therapy. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to participate with him. Socially, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been amazing. With his crutches, walker or scooter, his equipment can be intimidating for other kids in public to approach him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when we have Kiwi with us, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more prone to come up and ask to pet her. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision and he always says yes. That gives him the opportunity to socialize with kids in the community and out in public. It makes them aware heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like them. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for relationships and friendships as well.â&#x20AC;?

Kiwi typically walks alongside of Blake, a Fishers High School sophomore. If Blake drops something when he is in his scooter, Kiwi can pick it up for him. Kiwi is trained to open the refrigerator and turn on and off lights if needed.

Ettinger said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a different experience being around a graduate dog like Kiwi and then Kaya. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been neat for Blake to see how Kiwi started, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been neat for Brett to see where Kaya is going,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really interesting and fun.â&#x20AC;?

Ettinger said she would suggest a service dog for anyone with physical or emotional disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re amazing creatures,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help in so many different ways.â&#x20AC;?

MEET BRETT LEMIEUX Personal: Originally from Albuquerque, N.M., Lemieux has lived in the Indianapolis area since 2000. Works for a sports-marketing company, Sport Stars.

Favorite thing to do with the dogs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a huge yard and they all like playing in the backyard, throwing the ball around.

Kaya loves chasing her big temporary brothers around. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a normal dog.â&#x20AC;?

What does Lemieux do to relax: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dog life when you have three and are around a fourth a lot. Both my kids are in athletics so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always on the go.â&#x20AC;?

Update on renovations

FROM THE BACKSHOP

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Follow us, or keep quietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

It would be an over-generalization to state here that all liberals hate the right to exercise free speech. We happen to believe, though, that many do, and what follows is the latest example â&#x20AC;Ś aside from the Trump-related throwdowns.

California State University Los Angeles President William Covino recently abruptly canceled a speech by conservative author and advocate Ben Shapiro. The speech was titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Diversity Becomes A Problem.â&#x20AC;? According to reports, twice it was approved by the student budget board and was sponsored by the conservative student group, Young Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation. But liberal groups aggressively protested Shapiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pending appearance and one professor threatened to wrestle conservative students who supported the event. That, right there, is big, highereducation thinking. Covino sent an email to YAF saying it would be best to reschedule Shapiro for another time as part of a panel offering different viewpoints on the topic. Liberal-focused speeches, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exploring Whitenessâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do Muslim Women Really need Freedom?â&#x20AC;? went on as scheduled. How much closer to fascism can this campus leader get? Plain and simple: Shapiro was denied his right to free speech.

We have a new slogan for Cal State-LA: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where you are free to speak your mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as long as it meets with our agenda.â&#x20AC;? Of course, the mostly liberal mainstream media made zero stink about this. Heck, even comedians get it. Jerry Seinfeld said last year he avoids the politically correct college campuses at all costs, and the same goes for Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock. Sad but true, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to expect the kind of behavior shown at Cal State-LA, and you should, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed as a nation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we are.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Adopting a future

Commentary by Terry Anker

Some families know adoption. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all can trace their blood lines to a terminus other than their own. Our own family is one of them. Who we are and where we come from can be a bit more complicated for some of us than others. Moreover, some of us care, a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; really, a lot, unable to sleep, obsession, a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while others of us dismiss the whole affair as if the past is as irrelevant as 1950s morals at a Kardashian family reunion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long Lost Familyâ&#x20AC;? on cable television undertakes to unearth the buried past of exploring adoptees. It films the search of adults seeking their own now, even more adult, progenitors. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;birth parentsâ&#x20AC;? may or may not be friendly to being â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoveredâ&#x20AC;? by their biological children. With the passage of time (one would hope), perspectives have matured and folks are better prepared to reconcile their own complicated pasts.

The stories are varied, but all are emotional.

How is it that we define who we are?

Some is by what we do. Some is by where we spend our time. Some is by how we live.

Yet context cannot complete the picture.

There is more to the portrait. Who do we believe we are? Certainly, what others think matters; but it is our own perception that colors the scene.

What is our story? What is our past? Can our history help predict our future? Adopted or not, what do we really know about our history? Can we adopt a future? Some of us are completely disinterested in anything in the rear view mirror; while others cannot move forward without full knowledge. How can we get to our destination if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where we are? Perhaps, we each decide our own story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if not the text, then certainly the interpretation.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share one with you. In South Carolina, performing a U-turn within 1,000 feet of an intersection is illegal.

So here is the rundown on the current situation at Chez Wilson. Our kitchen is completely gutted. We have HUMOR no cabinets, no oven and no stovetop. A thick layer of drywall dust coats the entire first floor.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come home the last three days to find the dog, who appears to somehow have broken her tail, eating trash under the makeshift dining room table. Doo and I argue nightly over light fixtures, our latchkey children are living off of dry cereal and canned pasta, and the one break I get from dealing with the catastrophe of our house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; jogging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; consistently results in me peeing my pants. (Seriously, how does one hydrate efficiently without needing a Depends?) Let me also point out that I gave up not only my beloved Diet Crack but all soda for Lent. At least Jesus knows Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking my sacrifices very seriously this year.

And yet, life is good. The kids complain about the lack of home-cooking, but seem excited about the renovations. Doo and I waste hours debating the virtues of pendant lighting versus wagon-wheel chandeliers but have had many quality dates at Home Depot. Our pets are taking advantage of doors left open, food left on the ground and the perpetual mud baths created as we drive through the yard every morning to navigate a narrow driveway with three cars since our garage has been converted into a temporary U-StoreIt unit. Yes, this past week has been every bit annoying as that last run-on sentence!

How long can our sanity last? Who knows, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of our stick-togetherness so far. We may all stroke out by the end of the month from the number of high sodium frozen foods weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ingesting, and I might off Doo in his sleep if he continues to insist on wainscoting instead of beadboard, but with spring clearly on her glorious way in, the outlook is positive.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a light and a case of Diet Coke at the end of this remodel tunnel. If only I could do something about the stupid incontinence. Peace out.

Homeland security Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was watching “House of Cards” one afternoon and suddenly the TV’s sound went off. I got out the cable manual. Every HUMOR troubleshooting guide begins with the assumption you are clueless.

1. Does your house have power?

2. Is your unit plugged in?

3. Is the switch in the ON position?

4. Are you taking all your meds?

I called the 800 number and explained the problem I was having. Dennis, their rep, required my PIN number, but I couldn’t remember it.

“In that case, I have to ask you a security question you chose. Who is your favorite movie actor?”

I was drawing a blank.

“Could we use my wife’s maiden name, instead? How about my favorite superhero?

Come on, work with me here.”

Wait, maybe it was Mary Ellen who answered the security question. I called her on my cell phone.

My wife was in an important meeting, but I was desperate. “Could you interrupt her?” I pleaded with the receptionist. “Please ask her

who her favorite actor is.”

Apparently, Mary Ellen didn’t believe I would bother her at work for something that stupid.

“That can’t possibly be my husband,” she told the secretary. “Ask him the name of his first pet. It’s Slowpoke.”

Well, I blew that question, too. I answered Bosco, who was my first dog. I forgot about that silly turtle I got when I was 4.

Then I remembered writing the PIN number on the back of the TV. Dennis did some kind of reset and soon the audio returned. But it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t remember who my favorite actor was, so I asked Dennis to tell me who I had picked.

“Oh, I can’t tell you that, sir. That would be a breach of security.”

“Wait a second, you’re not allowed to tell me who my favorite actor is? That’s crazy.”

“Well, I suppose I can, but first I need to ask you a few security questions…”

Gregory Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SUPERHEROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to return

By Anna Skinner Â&#x201C; P]]P/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ For the third year, Gregory Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;SUPERHERO: the story of a man called Jesusâ&#x20AC;? will be returning to THEATER the Tarkington in Carmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming this annual tradition, audiences have asked for that, they like this production and want it to be an annual Easter holiday tradition,â&#x20AC;? said Hancock, the director of the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing that; this is the sixth time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve presented it.â&#x20AC;?

The first three times the dance performance took place was at Pike Performing Arts Center, until Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre moved to 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel.

The dancers tell the story of the last week of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life without any vocals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a contemporary retelling of that using modern music and contemporary music and I focus on the women in Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, his mother and Mary Magdalen and the woman he meets at the well and the woman who wipes his face while carrying the cross,â&#x20AC;? Hancock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is an interesting aspect that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been looked at as much and women were really important to him.â&#x20AC;?

Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Judas Iscariot is also portrayed. Hancock said the concert starts off with a rock feel and then arcs into more classical music throughout the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It focuses on Jesus as man more than as a god or savior, just more of a human and focuses on his struggles and having to come to terms with his fate and his destiny as a human being,â&#x20AC;? Hancock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These performances are starting to get a really big audience, church groups are becoming more interested in it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have to be of any particular faith to enjoy the show, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting story and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a human struggle story.â&#x20AC;?

The dancers have to tell the story with just their bodies and their motion, and Hancock said they have to be actors as well as dancers to pull off the performance. James Gilmer of Cincinnati, Ohio will play the character of Jesus for his second year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of Jesus is very different, his look is very different than

Also, joining Dugan Dave will be the very funny John Branyan. Doors open for food and drinks at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12 at the door. For more information, call 773-9988.

how Jesus was perceived, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beauty of doing a repertoire piece year after year is seeing different dancers or actors in those roles,â&#x20AC;? Hancock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the difference that James brings and the uniqueness that he brings to his interpretation of Jesus, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty daunting role to tackle. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful dancer.â&#x20AC;?

Hancock said the audience often times gets very emotional, and experiences a large range of emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big arc, the performance is incredibly sad at one point and then incredibly uplifting a few moments later. We go through the resurrection and the crucifixion,â&#x20AC;? Hancock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some scenes are very sad, very emotional but then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very uplifting and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light and beautiful at the end.â&#x20AC;?

Hancock said that the modern, rock feel of music at the beginning of the perfor-

mance takes people aback at first, but that the feeling gets lost the longer the performance goes on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about Christianity,â&#x20AC;? he said, although the two performances do take place over Easter weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People of all faiths can enjoy the beautiful dancing and music.â&#x20AC;?

Choco and peanut butter toast Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Teens, no need to drive to fast food joints!

A real choco and peanut butter toast is a heavenly reward snack for those late night soccer practices or for a college studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midnight treat. This yummy and healthy recipe is a breeze to prepare!

Note: Feeling the blues? There is evidence that chocolate makes us happier. Research scientists have isolated the chemical in chocolate that makes us feel good. Tryptophan is what the brain uses to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation.

PRESENTING SPONSOR

Oftentimes, Carmel Theatre Company performs plays written by Casey Ross, yet Ross THEATER chose a different type of performance to honor Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th anniversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Divinersâ&#x20AC;? is an Indiana play written by an Indiana playwright at and Indiana college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a lot of Indiana history, so I thought it was a cool play for us to do,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set during the depression, so you get to learn a little bit about what people in the Midwest thought about Hoover as a president and what was going on in the farming community in Indiana during that time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Divinersâ&#x20AC;? was written

by Jim Leonard Jr., who Ross met. Leonard attended Hanover College in Hanover, Ind. and wrote the play at Hanover College during the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s. Ross also attended Hanover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really great script, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a larger

cast for us as a company,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a little different for us, we ordinarily do new plays or new works, specifically mine, but this one is a classic American script. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to do a more revered instead of a brand new one.â&#x20AC;?

The play has 10 characters, and takes place in the fictional southern Indiana town of Zion during the 1940s. It focuses on Buddy, the main character who is a mentally challenged boy and can divine water and meets a traveler that becomes his mentor and then falls in love with Buddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister. Gossip, faith and suspicion are all part of the play.

The show will be performed at Studio 15, at 8 p.m. April 14-16 , 3 p.m., April 17, 8 p.m. April 2123 and 3 p.m. April 24. Tickets are $15, or $12 for students and seniors. Local craft beer will be sold. Tickets are available by calling Carmel Theatre Company at 688-8876 or visiting brownpapertickets.com.

Feinstein preps for academy

By Zach Dunkin Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ If only Michael Feinstein had had â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Songbook Academyâ&#x20AC;? when he was in high school dreaming about a career in music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have changed my MUSIC trajectory and brought me to my goals much sooner,â&#x20AC;? said Feinstein, the artistic director of the Center for the Performing Arts.

As it turned out, Feinstein did okay without the benefit of the academy. The multiplatinum-selling, two-time Emmy and five-time Grammy Award-nominated entertainer performs in more than 200 shows a year.

Often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ambassador of the Great American Songbookâ&#x20AC;? because of his interpretation of American standards, he founded the Great American Songbook Foundation in 2007 with the purpose of celebrating and preserving the art form through educational programs, master classes and this seventh annual academy, July 16-23 at the Center for the Performing Arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have kids from all over the United States come here to learn how to interpret and share this amazing American heritage,â&#x20AC;?

Feinstein said.

High school students must apply (there is a

$50 fee) by March 25 online at TheSongbook. org. Approximately 40 students will be invited to participate. Students will work with music industry professionals, Broadway performers and educators from the top university music and theater programs. The academy will conclude with a live show and awards presentation on July 23 at the Palladium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From our staff of experts from every field related to American popular songs, the youths learn not only about phrasing and musical technicalities but also how to present themselves on stage,â&#x20AC;? Feinstein said.

For questions, students can reach Songbook Foundation staff at 844-9446 or by email at SongbookAcademy@TheSongbook.org.

Baber to visit Warehouse

By Zach Dunkin Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ Growing up and living in Marion, Ark., country singer Barrett Baber regularly took the short ride across the PERFORMANCE Mississippi River and into Memphis where he inhaled the smell of barbecue and the mix of musical sounds wafting from the rib shacks and live music clubs in the town called both Blues City and the Birthplace of Rock and Roll.

Take your pick.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that personal experience of hearing those smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notes steeped in blues, R&B, country and rock from the street corners and the Beale Street bars that helped shape Baberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soulful sound, a sound he describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;roots -soul.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul and country and roots and all of that mixed together because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really where I was raised,â&#x20AC;? explained Baber, who will make his Indiana debut at The Warehouse on March 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who I am.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sound that carried Baber all the way to a third-place finish in last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Voiceâ&#x20AC;? vocal competition on NBC. Baber was coached on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Voiceâ&#x20AC;? by country star Blake Shelton, one of the four judges on the show.

Shelton predicted fame for his student, saying

Barrett Baber will perform on March 25 in Carmel. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

his voice is like no other on country radio today and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;he can be a superstar.â&#x20AC;?

Fresh from a nine-night residence with Rascal Flatts at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, Baber will perform some of his original songs on his six-song EP â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falling Againâ&#x20AC;? and his new single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kiss Me Hello,â&#x20AC;? co-written by Kenny Lamb and recorded in Nashville.

"Now, I have the opportunity to show people that there's some real depth to me, not only a performer singing cover songs on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Voice,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but as an original songwriter who can deliver great country songs,â&#x20AC;? Baber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it's a great way to follow up my incredible experience on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Voice.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Agran said previous training is not required for ages 3 to 9.

OneZone meets initial goals

By Mark Ambrogi Â&#x201C; \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

When the Fishers and Carmel Chamber of Commerce groups merged into OneZone in February 2015, COUNTY the new organization set four major goals.

Dan LaReau, who served as OneZone chair in 2015, said all four were accomplished during the 10 months LaReau remaining in 2015.

The first goal was to keep 80 percent of its Fishers and Carmel chamber members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ended 2015 with an overall retention rate of 83 percent,â&#x20AC;? said LaReau at the OneZone luncheon March 9 at One East Event Centre in Carmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retention was higher than expected. We were a little concerned but have no major issues between Carmel and Fishers.

Everyone is looking forward to the combination going forward.â&#x20AC;?

The second goal was to attract new members and OneZone achieve that by adding 100 new members. The OneZone is the fourth largest chamber in Indiana with more than 1,300 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The growth is something we had hoped for but it is beyond expectations,â&#x20AC;? said LaReau, executive director of operations and information at St.Vincent Carmel and a Noblesville resident.

The third goal was to grow member engagement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 10 months, our luncheon attendance has

averaged over 300,â&#x20AC;? LaReau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set a record with the Carmel Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the City address with 620 people showed up at the Ritz Charles.â&#x20AC;?

LaReau said the two golf events and two Business Expo events had record participation.

The fourth goal was to have a stronger voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our board, our members and our respective comBiggers munities all agree that together. we can be a louder, more effective voice for business-friendly legislation at both the local and state level,â&#x20AC;? LaReau said. Jo Biggers, chair of the board and vice president of finance of MISO Energy in Carmel, said increased networking has been a positive feature of the merger. Biggers said members are constantly commenting on the new people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most surprised by people that have reached out to us to join without us doing a proactive step first,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Biggers said there is one major goal for 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to move that advocacy forward by using our stronger voice,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tis the allergy season Commentary by Tammy Wittmann Allergy season has hit. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frustrating. One of the main areas EYECARE affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not necessarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhinitis (hay fever).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note that the oral medications you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular allergies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the red outâ&#x20AC;? drops. Also, stay away from gener-

ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservative in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredient and more irritation for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops.

Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily disposable lens during allergy season as well.

It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to differentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary.

Commentary by Don Knebel The Sea of Galilee in northern Israel is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous bodies of water because of its association with TRAVEL Jesus. Perhaps the best-known story about Jesus and the Sea of Galilee occurred after his death.

Only eight miles wide, with an area of less than 65 square miles, the harp-shaped Sea of Galilee is more accurately called a lake. Whatever its name (the Bible also calls it the Lake of Gennesaret, the Sea of Tiberias and the Sea of Kinnereth), the Sea of Galilee is the lowest fresh water lake in the world. Lying in the Jordan Rift resulting from the separation of the African and Arabian plates, its surface is about 700 feet below the level of the Mediterranean Sea. The Sea of Galilee is fed primarily by the Jordan River, which flows into it from the north and then flows out of it for 88 miles south until it reaches the Dead Sea, the lowest lake in the world.

Jesus spent most of his earthly ministry preaching in and around the fishing villages along the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, where his disciples lived and worked.

His miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and the Sermon on the Mount took place on nearby

hillsides. According to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gospel of John,â&#x20AC;? on a morning after his crucifixion in Jerusalem, Jesus suddenly appeared to some of his disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee after they had spent the night fishing, entirely without success. With guidance from Jesus, the fisherman filled their nets and joined Jesus for a fish breakfast ashore, where Jesus forgave Peter for having three times denied knowing

him after his arrest. Today, a statue in Tabgha, an area on the northwest shore not far from Capernaum, remembers that event.

Easily open and reseal envelopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve signed and sealed the perfect greeting card inside its matching envelope and then realize you forgot to include something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a gift card or check. You can reopen the envelope without destroying it. Place the envelope in the freezer for about three hours. Take it out and slide a letter opener or knife under the flap. It should open neatly and you can then reseal it after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished.

Dish detergent substitute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Need a substitute for dish detergent in a pinch? You can use shampoo as a stand-in. The best shampoo for dishes is one formulated for oily hair, as it will cut through greasy food buildup. Try to avoid using conditioning shampoo, as it may leave an oily residue on dishes.
