Democrats ask election board to investigate bribery allegations

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Democratic Party is asking the county election board to investigate allegations of bribery in POLITICS the Republican primary race for Carmel mayor.

Joe Weingarten, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, said he planned to deliver a letter March 28 to the Hamilton County Board of Elections asking for a review of allegations that representatives from one or both campaigns requested or offered $140,000 for candidate Fred Glynn not to run against incumbent Mayor Jim Brainard.

“We believe these reports warrant a full investigation into the conduct of the Brainard and Glynn campaigns,” Weingarten stated in the letter to the board. “We ask that you investigate these serious allegations immediately to ensure proper transparency and oversight.”

Representatives from both campaigns said they didn’t notify authorities about the alleged bribery and didn’t plan to contact them. Weingarten said at a March 28 press conference that it would have been the first step he would have taken if he suspected bribery.

“The Republican County chair was at the meeting, so we want her to come forward and say what really happened,” Weingarten said. “I know myself as a county chair if I heard about this, immediately following the meeting my next step would’ve been the county prosecutor’s office, because shady politics should not occur at any level.”

In response to Weingarten’s request for an investigation, Glynn called the actions of staff from Brainard’s campaign “concerning to all Hoosiers that call Carmel home.”

“However, these events don’t distract from the important issues in this race such as the mayor’s runaway spending, pay-toplay politics and voiding his Contract with Carmel,” Glynn said. “I am focused on sharing my message of new leadership, a new vision and a new voice for Carmel.”

Laken Sisko, Brainard’s campaign manager, also responded to the Democratic party’s request.

“Despite the accusations coming from the mayor’s political opponents, neither (he) or myself were in the meeting,” Sisko said.

“Unfortunately this is politics at its worst, but fortunately Carmel’s voters are smart

enough to see right through it.”

The county election board is comprised of a Democrat, Republican and elected county clerk. Despite Hamilton County historically leaning heavily Republican, Weingarten believes the board won’t favor one party over another if it decides to investigate.

“They’re fair about going through and digging out the information,” Weingarten said, adding that they can turn the information over to the county prosecutor if the case is strong enough. He said he hopes an independent prosecutor would be assigned to review the matter if that happens.

No Democrats filed to run for mayor in the May 7 primary, but Weingarten indicated the party may appoint someone to run against the prevailing Republican.

The bribery allegations stem from a Feb. 3 meeting between Glynn’s former campaign manager, Dan Hennessey, Brainard campaign volunteer Allan Sutherlin and Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Laura Campbell. Glynn had not yet filed for office, and Sutherlin and Campbell said they wanted to present polling data to Glynn’s campaign that showed he faced an uphill battle.

Glynn said Hennessey reported back that Brainard’s campaign had offered Glynn $140,000 to not run for office, while Sutherlin and Campbell said Hennessey requested that amount to keep Glynn from running.

Glynn said several days later Hennessey informed him he would be leaving the campaign to go work for Brainard’s campaign.

Hennessey declined to comment and referred all questions to Sisko.

The Carmel High CARMELFEST School Marching Band has been named the Grand Marshal for the 2019 Centier Bank CarmelFest July 4 parade. CHS band director Chris Kreke said the band felt honored to be chosen.

“We’re thrilled that the city and parade committee want to recognize the accomplishments of our hardworking students,” he said.

The Marching Greyhounds recently completed a successful competition season, winning its third consecutive Bands of America Grand National Championship. The band acquired the honors of Outstanding

According to CarmelFest parade and media/PR director Bec Hunter, it was a unanimous decision to choose the Carmel High School Marching Band as grand marshal.

“The parade committee selected the band as grand marshal due to the exhausting hours and overall dedication required by these students in order to perfect their performance,” Hunter said. “They should be very proud as winning a national competition is an incredible honor.”

Swimmers head to Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School swimmer Erin Sparks was more than surprised to learn she was being ACHIEVEMENT inducted into the Indiana High School Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame.

“I didn’t know it even existed,” Sparks said.

Sparks Sparks, who swam from 2001 to 2004, is one of four CHS swimmers being inducted into the Hall of Fame April 14 in Indianapolis. Joining her will be Thomas Hickson (1989-90), Lindsay (Carlberg) Ramsey (1995-98) and Katie (Simmons) Smart (1997-2000).

Sparks was a member of four state championship teams, winning three individual state titles and a member of four state championship relay teams.

As senior, Sparks won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 breaststroke for the second consecutive year. She swam the anchor leg of the 400 freestyle relay and joined her sister, Megan, on the winning 200 medley relay. In addition, she was named In-

diana High School Athletic Association Mental Attitude Award winner for girls swimming.

“The best memory of my senior year is I was a senior and my sister was a freshman,” Sparks said.

Sparks, an attorney in Nashville, Tenn., swam for the University of Alabama.

Hickson, 47, who lives in Poplar Grove, Ill., is a major airlines pilot, doing international flights for the Hickson past 20 years. He swam for Carmel three seasons. His family moved from Toronto for his father’s work in Anderson. The family originally planned to live on Morse Lake but couldn’t find a home, so while living in a temporary condo, he went to Noblesville High School for a year before the family bought a home in Carmel. He swam one year for NHS before transferring.

Hickson won the 200 freestyle and was second in the 100 freestyle as a junior. As a senior, he won the 200 freestyle and placed second in the 100 freestyle again to help lead the Carmel boys team to its first state title.

“It was more of a family than anything else,” Hickson said. “It was a nice group of swimmers we were with.”

Seniors help guide boys basketball team to state title crown

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Senior guard Luke Heady figures this should keep his father quiet.

“I’m just glad I got a CHAMPIONS ring. Now, I don’t have to hear all that back talk at the kitchen table,” Heady said.

Heady earned that ring by helping lead the Carmel High School basketball team (261) to the Class 4A state championship March 23. The Greyhounds beat Ben Davis 60-55 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. A large Carmel contingent helped cheer on the Greyhounds, who never trailed, against their Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference rival.

coach in 2012 and 2013 before leaving to take the Marian University job in 2017.

Making it even sweeter, Luke Heady said, was the fact some critics didn’t view No. 1 Carmel as the best team.

“All year we’ve been getting doubts,” said Luke, who will play for Marian next season.

“We’ve had people say we don’t have a hard enough road (in the tournament) to get here. Right now, it feels good to prove all those people wrong.”

Senior forward John-Michael Mulloy has heard the negative chatter, too.

“Coming from Carmel, there are lot of people that you can say really don’t like you, and we don’t let that bother us,” the Butler-bound Mulloy said. “We always stick to what Carmel is all about, and that’s playing hard, playing right, winning and competing. That’s what we did (in the final).”

The Greyhounds lost to Warren Central 54-48 in last year’s Class 4A state final.

“Not just me, but everyone said we would be back after that loss,” Mulloy said. “It’s been an amazing journey to get back and finish. It’s something I’ll never forget.”

Mulloy, who averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game, was named the IHSAA Class 4A Mental Attitude Award winner.

Joining Luke Heady and Mulloy as senior starters were Andrew Owens and Karsten Windlan, son of ex-CHS girls basketball

coach Tod Windlan, who is now at Greencastle. The fifth senior was reserve Ben Frische.

“Everything we try to embody in Carmel basketball, the senior class gave us this year,” Greyhounds coach Ryan Osborn said.

“To finish this like they did makes me so happy for them. This group did a good job of focusing on the next one. You know it’s never going to be easy. To prepare and win each week says a lot about this group.”

Having two coaches’ sons helped.

“They have high basketball IQs. They’ve been around basketball for a really long time,” said Osborn, who was an assistant under Scott Heady for six seasons. “They know what it takes to win games. I’m proud of them.”

Freshman Pete Suder led four Greyhounds in double figures with 14 points against Ben Davis. That was well above his 6.0 scoring average entering the game.

“He was unbelievable,” Osborn said. “He had fun doing it. It’s fun to watch. I’m going to enjoy coaching him for another three years.”

Windlan and Owens, who will play for Findlay (Ohio) University next season, averaged just less than 12 ppg for the Greyhounds, who relied on balanced scoring and solid defense en route the school’s fourth boys basketball state crown.

EAGLES SOAR Troop 132 celebrates 40 years, 100th top-ranked Scout

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Don Burfeind’s wife, Joanne, determined Carmel could use a Boy Scout troop on the west side of the city.

“So she asked if I would consider beCOVER STORY ing Scoutmaster,” Burfeind said.

Burfeind agreed, and his son, Scott, became one of the first members of the re-formed Troop 132. It had gone dormant for two years and been disbanded.

“We resurrected it,” Burfeind said.

Forty years later, it’s still going strong. Last month, the troop celebrated its 100th member becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest rank possible.

“It’s taken off tremendously,” Burfeind said. “I’m amazed at 100 Eagle Scouts. That’s a phenomenal achievement.”

Nationwide, less than 6 percent of Scouts attained Eagle Scout status in the past 10 years, according to Boy Scouts of America. In central Indiana, approximately 7 percent of Scouts earned the rank in 2018.

Marcus Ford, the 100th Eagle Scout, was initiated March 17 at the Eagle Scout Court of Honor at Carmel’s St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church. The four-member group of new Eagle Scouts included twin brothers Andrew “A.J.” and Cameron Hudson and Joshua Appleton.

Ford was the last of the four to complete his project to earn the distinction of becoming the 100th Eagle Scout.

“This is the first time we’ve had four go in at once,” Burfeind said.

Burfeind grew the troop by scheduling creative and fun activities, such as visiting Marengo Cave. He had a boat at the time and took the Scouts out on the water.

“They would jump off the cliffs into the water, and it was a lot of fun. That’s how the troop got bigger and bigger,” Burfeind said. “I had just learned to (snow) ski and I thought, ‘Let’s go on a Scouting ski trip.’ I ended up teaching them how to ski. Six or seven years later, a group called me and said, ‘Mr. Burfeind, we’re going to go skiing, you want to join us?’ So, I went along with them.”

Even after Burfeind relinquished the Scoutmaster reins after five years, he continued going on camping trips.

“I would go until about three years ago when I got rid of my boat,” said Burfeind, who, along with his wife, stays involved with Troop 132.

Don Huntzinger, a 1987 Carmel High School graduate who now lives in Geist, was the first Eagle Scout initiated in 1986 after building a shed for the VFW. Huntzinger was there to watch the latest accomplishment.

“I’m very proud of the troop,” said Huntzinger, whose brother, Joe, also became an Eagle Scout for Troop 132.

his fellow Eagle Scouts. “Mr. Kuhns was our den chief for three of us when we were in Cub Scouts, so in a way, it came full circle.”

Elliott’s twin sons, Will and Cam, are both Eagle Scouts who graduated from CHS in 2014. Elliott was with Troop 132 for 12 years and was Scoutmaster for 10 years.

Kuhns, a Pike High School graduate, earned his Eagle Scout rank in 1988. His son, Caden, is a Boy Scout.

“It’s neat to see my Cub Scouts coming into age,” Kuhns said.

EAGLE SCOUT PROJECTS

“They’ve done a great job over the years.”

Huntzinger stays in touch with the Burfeinds.

“I stop by periodically just to say hi to them,” he said. “I’m still friends with their son.”

Ford said it was special obtaining his Eagle Scout rank with three friends. All four are CHS seniors.

Mike Elliott was their Scoutmaster until the end of their junior year, when he retired. Derrick Kuhns then became Scoutmaster.

“We started our journey at the same time,” Ford said of

Eagle Scouts must finish their project before their 18th birthday. Andrew Hudson took it to the wire, turning in his paperwork a day before his birthday in December 2018. “I had to get a lot of signatures,” Hudson said. “I was doubting myself, but my parents helped me and I pushed through it.” Here are their projects: • Joshua Appleton: Built a picnic table and repaired another and made a free library for Carmel Friends Church.

• Andrew Hudson: Built an outdoor shed to store tools and resources for the backyard garden at IU Health Saxony.

• Cameron Hudson: Built a scooter-board ramp for occupational therapy use for preschool and elementary special needs students in Zionsville schools.

• Marcus Ford: Repaired and refinished an information kiosk at Daubenspeck Nature Park in Indianapolis.

ESSAY All or nothing?

LETTER Campaign hire raises questions

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1939, famed lyricist Jack Russell penned what would become a classic American standard for singer Frank Sinatra. In it, Russell demands that if his lover won’t “yield” to him entirely, then he has no interest in continuing the relationship. For him, it is “all or nothing at all.” It seems that brinkmanship is a long-utilized methodology to crush nuance and compromise: “Give me what I want or get out.”

American politics is no stranger to an all-or-nothing game of chicken. Elected officials and pundits squawk about the dire consequences of leaving any room for another point of view. Crush the opposition.

Demonize them. Litigate! Do it now!

Yet, paradoxically, they wax poetic about simpler times when folks would “reach across the aisle” to get work done.

Standards are material, and some things rightly cannot be accommodated. But, as we mature into fullyformed humans, it becomes clearer that things are not so clear. Our fervent assumptions regarding our own infallibility wane, and we learn that sometimes, the perspectives of others are worthy of consideration.

Love and politics are prone to hyperbole and one-sidedness, and social media has exacerbated the affliction. We have come to increasingly live our lives protected from the perspectives of others. Whether we may learn, or even come to agree, is irrelevant. We obsess over uniformity. Our laws must be identical to those in other states. Our leaders must say what we demand.

Plus, our friends and family better give us 100 percent of what we want – or else!

Are we so sure that’s what we need? Even if so, who gave us the right to demand it?

Please, don’t Doo it again Commentary by Danielle Wilson Longtime readers will know that my husband’s real name is not “Doo.” The nickname came about after a 2009 HUMOR raccoon incident that resulted in him going out on our lawn after midnight with a pellet gun and no shirt, cussin’ up a storm. Being a native Kentuckian and having endured many hillbilly jabs through the years, I immediately went to one of my favorite films, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” about country singer Loretta Lynn and her husband, “Doo.” I bring all of this up because over the weekend we experienced an almost identical scenario to our original Butcher Holler event 10 years ago. I awoke to weird noises outside our bedroom window, at first thinking it was one of our kids and then wondering if the wind was blowing around the porch furniture. When I went to investigate, nothing seemed out of the ordinary; our ferocious guard dog Libby was simply laz-

ing in the hallway. Ruling out intruders and zombies, I returned to bed but eventually had to wake Doo, who immediately jumped into action. Naked.

He soon discovered a giant raccoon skulking along our roofline and began banging on the wall, yelling expletives in a strange voice. Doo then opened the window to try and, I don’t know, scare it? Mind you, this side of our house faces a major road, and he is completely nude, backlit in all his glory. All I could do was giggle. Here we go again.

He briefly debated driving to his parents for the gun, just as he did on that fateful night long ago, but thankfully, wisdom prevailed. We both went back to sleep.

Yep, that’s my Doo. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”

-Booker T. Washington

Editor, On March 21, an article ran in Current in Carmel describing a bribe situation involving a former (Fred) Glynn (mayoral) campaign manager and current (Mayor Jim) Brainard campaign employee named Dan Hennessey.

In this article, former Brainard campaign manager Allan Sutherlin claims that Dan Hennessy approached team Brainard and attempted to extract a bribe in the amount of $140,000. In that same article, Brainard himself admits to hiring Hennessey as an employee right after this happened. The article describes how Hennessey is being paid $40,000 over a four-month period for work like stuffing envelopes, delivering yard signs and registering voters. This situation raises a few questions.

If it is true that Mr. Hennessey attempted to extract a bribe, then why did they then hire him as an employee? What does this say about the Brainard campaign that they would hire someone to work for them that they allege is corrupt? Why would any campaign pay someone that much to do work such as putting out yard signs? This is totally unheard of in political campaigns where every dollar counts. We look forward to seeing these disbursements to Hennessey on Brainard’s campaign finance reports as required by law.

Editor, The Carmel Redevelopment Commission recently issued a Request for Proposals for the former PNC Bank property at Range Line Road and Main Street, now known as Lot One. This corner was the original city center in 1837, and it has sparked the rebirth of Main Street, hosting a large number of gatherings and events.

I became concerned when I reviewed the RFP because it doesn’t require any public space, only a small setback for the Rotary Clock. This prompted me to meet with several Main Street business owners, who recounted conversations with the administration about a public plaza at the site. Numerous local residents have also called for green space.

I had the opportunity to raise these concerns with Mayor (Jim) Brainard, who later told Current in Carmel that the public would have input on the submitted proposals. While this is encouraging, it’s still not enough. Private developers will never include public space unless it’s required in their proposals.

Further, the city went to the trouble of purchasing the property and should be working in the best interests of the public, not private developers. If you agree this historic corner should include a substantial public plaza, make sure to voice your opinion to the mayor and CRC. Dr. Tim Hannon, at-large candidate for Carmel City Council

State needs hate crime law to protect marginalized groups Editor, Indiana needs to pass hate crime legislation that specifically names protected groups. Opponents argue that Indiana does not need a hate crime bill because there are already federal laws that prohibit hate crimes. This is true; however, federal law enforcement rarely intervenes on state-level hate crimes unless they attract national news or are horrific enough that intervention is necessary. Yes, crimes that would be classified as hate crimes are already illegal; however, adding harsher sentences would support marginalized individuals and send a message to the community that crimes motivated by bias will not be tolerated and will be met with more severe consequences.

Recent political rhetoric has condoned the stereotyping of individuals who are “other,” basically individuals who are not cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied white men. Communities cannot allow marginalized groups to be targeted and must stand up for their protection. Ideally, we are all protected equally under the law, but in practice, that is not true. It is unfair to expect women, people of color, or members of the LGBTQ+ community to not fear for their safety in a society that is constantly trying to oppress them. In a historically conservative state, Indiana needs legislation that explicitly protects individuals of marginalized groups.

I’m OK — you’re OK Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Was it my ego, laziness or just a deceptive nature? I had resisted this action for several years, but it was finally time: I HUMOR decided to update my Facebook picture. I also updated my bio pictures on the WISH-TV website. These were not photos of who Dick Wolfsie is; these were photos of who Dick Wolfsie was.

In one replaced photo, I was standing in front of Market Square Arena. In another, I was holding my dog, Barney (gone since 2004), and one of me with the late Mayor Bill Hudnut at an Indian’s game at Bush Stadium.

Updating my photos caused quite a stir in cyberspace. Classmates I had not heard from in years felt compelled to check with me, asking if I was well: “You looked great for 20 years on Facebook. Not anymore,” said my old buddy, Phil. “I hope it’s nothing serious.”

This from an old flame, Carol: “You were always so adorable. What happened? Do you still whistle all the time? Like, how annoying was that on a date? I’m assuming you also stopped shaking your leg. Are you still scatterbrained?”

I asked my wife if these memories of me were accurate.

“Yes, you still whistle constantly. Even in the morning when you are working,” Mary Ellen said, “Other than a Disney dwarf, who does that? And, yes, you also bounce your leg when you watch TV.” “OK, but am I still spacey?”

“Let’s see. In the last month, you found your cellphone in the neighbor’s garage — twice. You found your car keys in the cat food bag and last night you found your appointment book in the wash.”

“Give me some credit. There was a time I couldn’t find anything.”

But back to the new Facebook photo. I got so many emails asking, “Are you OK?” that I have already changed it to a close-up of me outside the RCA Dome, where I look a lot younger. As you know, the RCA Dome grew old, so they decided to tear it down and start over.

I’m seriously considering that option for myself.

Graci Graves fondly recalls getting piggyback rides from her cousin.

Graves was just 4 years old when her cousin, Kent Ribordy, a Valparaiso resident, died of leukemia at age 16 in 2007. Now a CarACHIEVEMENT mel High School sophomore, Graves ran for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Indianapolis Student of Year in honor of her late cousin.

Graves earned the title by raising the most money — $111,172 of the $735,364 total collected — in a seven-week period, which ended March 16 at a Grand Finale Gala in Indianapolis. Ten of the 23 Indianapolis Student of the Year candidates came from CHS. “I basically just went around to ask people for donations and my parents’ friends,” said Graves, who was assisted by three other students and seven adults. “I would go to companies for sponsorships and have meetings with them.”

She had previously gained experience by working for her neighbor Reagan Markland’s Student of the Year campaign in 2018.

Graves hosted some restaurant events where businesses donated a percentage for the night. There was even a purse bingo at Urban Vines Winery & Brewery in Westfield.

Pam Ribordy, Kent’s mother, helped by donating funds from an annual Crop for Kent scrapbooking event in Valparaiso.

“We did a lot of events that were a lot of fun, and getting to know the other candidates at the grand finale night was a lot of fun, too,” Graves said.

Graves said she hopes to be a mentor for future Student of the Year candidates.

In keeping with her philanthropic nature, Graves is also a club member of Project Sunshine at CHS. “At club meetings, we put together craft kits for kids in hospitals,” she said.

Quick launches Videopolis.tv

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com According to Business Insider, video will account for an overwhelming majority of internet traffic by 2021. CarNEW BIZ mel resident Jon Quick hopes his new venture, Videopolis. tv, will deliver cutting-edge video content to clients both regionally and nationally.

“This new business is a direct result of the almost essential need for people who have websites and use digital media to have video these days,” Quick said. “If you look at the statistics, it’s amazing how many people will actually take action on a website after seeing video as opposed to text.”

Videopolis.tv was the brainchild of Quick and his co-founder and partner, Dave Fulton. Both men have an extensive background with video. Quick is president of Q Public Relations and Marketing. Fulton was a writer and producer for the Emmy Awardwinning “Naptown Rock Radio Wars,” a PBS documentary on the impact of rock radio.

“Dave and I have worked together many times,” Quick said. “Last fall, we decided to launch Videopolis.tv to offer video and marketing services to all types of business, large or small.”

From left, Evan Pennington, Emmy Lindgren, Dave Fulton, Jon Quick, Emily Gregory and Daniel Risk are delivering a variety of video services through Videopolis.tv. (Submitted photo)

The business refers to its services as “video-infused marketing.”

“People can come to us and visit our studios or we will go to them and provide them a marketing analysis to determine what they need based on their budget,” Quick said.

Quick said the difference between Videopolis.tv and its competitors is the diversity within his team.

“We work together and brainstorm ideas and approaches. We get opinions from all sides of experience and age groups,” he said.

IRT presents new version of ’Amber Waves’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Almost 20 years after the full-length version of “Amber Waves” premiered at the Indiana Repertory Theatre in 2000, the heartland drama by IRT’s playwright-in-residence James Still returns to the Upperstage April 2 to 28.

Featuring music by Tim Grimm and Jason Wilber, “Amber Waves” follows a year in the life of an Indiana family as they face the prospect of losing their farm.

Originally a one-act play, the newest version of “Amber Waves” takes a deeper look at the commitment, struggle and beauty of farm and family life. For Still, the story draws inspiration from his own Midwestern background and the loss of his family farm in Kansas.

Returning to the stage will be musician Tim Grimm, who previously played the role of Mike and wrote the original songs and music with Jason Wilber for the 2000 premiere. This time, in addition to the original pieces, Grimm has partnered with multiinstrumentalist Rachel Eddy to create music for the production, which they will play live onstage during each performance.

German visitor teaches design

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School’s German classes got a combined history and art lesson with a German visitor.

Dirk von Manteuffel, DESIGNS a product designer from Germany, held a workshop at Carmel High School March 18. He is in the United States for two months for the Discover Bauhaus Tour, which is part of the Deutschlandjahr USA, Year of German-American Friendship.

It is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, implemented by Goethe-Institut and supported by the Federation of German Industries (BDI).

Bauhaus was a German art school from 1919 to 1933 which combined crafts and fine arts, but it was pressured to close by the Nazi regime. Many Bauhaus instructors left Germany and founded a new school in Chicago.

“Even though it was only there for 14 years, it made the way for modern design,” von Manteuffel said. “Bauhaus is a mindset, thinking about mass production. It found its way to architecture theories. They wanted to simplify to have cheaper prices and have easier ways of production.”

Dirk von Manteuffel shows some of the designs Carmel High School students made using the Bauhaus concept. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

German teacher Angelika Becker said von Manteuffel challenged students to make a chair design with minimal art supplies.

Thompson said groups of three to four students took a 10-minute challenge with straws, paper clips, paper fasteners, index cards and rubber bands to make a chair in the Bauhaus design.

Senior Ellie Thompson said the presentation was interesting.

“We’ve been learning about (Bauhaus) for the past week about the different art styles, and we learned about it in the context of the early 20th century, so it was really interesting to see how it is still apparent today,” she said.

Osborne makes sculpture for CCHS

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Scott Osborne wanted to represent something old and something new in his sculpture for the Carmel Clay Historical ART Society.

Former CCHS executive director Emily Ehrgott commissioned Osborne to create the sculpture a year-and-a-half ago.

The kinetic interactive sculpture, titled “Blossoming,” made its debut March 22 outside the CCHS building, 211 1st St. SW, near the Monon Trail.

Osborne, 25, grew up in Carmel, and is finishing up his degree this semester at the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis.

“They had these retired Monon Railroad signs and they wanted something kinetic,” Osborne said of the piece. “I had a lot of freedom. The odd shape of the counterweight that was used from the railroad had kind of an organic leaf like shape to it, so that led me to make the flower.”

Osborne said he implemented some of the Monon’s past with signs and the present with bicycle parts.

“There is a full bicycle in there,” Osborne said. “It’s a kids’ bike cut into parts. There

are all kinds of hidden Easter eggs. There is actually a hidden shape of Indiana in there.”

To Osborne, the sculpture represents the past, present and future.

One consistent feature in Osborne’s sculptures is the number 3.

“I tend to use that a lot,” Osborne said.

“Really I use it every time as my structure reference for the sculpture. It happens to be my favorite number. I’m the third child.”

While doing other projects, Osborne took about a year to build the sculpture after planning it for several months.

MSP presents ‘Going Going Gone’

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Steven Marsh is a veteran stage actor who got his start in community theater nearly 20 years ago in MontiTHEATER cello, Fla. Now, after two decades of being on stage, the Carmel resident is stepping out of his comfort zone to direct Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Going Going Gone,” a comedy centered around four sports journalists in a press box covering a Major League Baseball game.

Penned by writer/Major League Baseball announcer Ken Levine, “Going Going Gone” has an eight-show run April 12 through April 28 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32, Westfield.

Marsh, who moved to Carmel in 2005, is making his directorial debut. The play has four cast members and explores an array of topics that most everyday people can relate to.

“It’s four sportscasters doing their jobs during a single, crazy baseball game, but it’s also about the changing landscape of the news media, the meaning of life and other bigger pictures,” Marsh said. “I love that it’s

such a modern comedy. Various plot points revolve around cellphones, online dating and the perils of the housing market.”

“Experiencing this play gives me the same thrill that I get when I stumble across an episode of ‘MASH’ or ‘Cheers’ I’d forgotten about, where the characters all feel alive, their situations have real stakes, and yet everything is so energetic and funny.”

The cast features Hamilton County residents Brian Coon (Westfield), Bill Buchanan (Westfield) and Ka’Lena Cuevas (Fishers), along with Indianapolis resident Byron Holmes.

CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION CONNECT | DISCOVER

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Scott Martin met his future wife at a radio glee club, but fell in love during a Rodgers & HamMUSICAL merstein musical.

The glee club was part of Dave Smiley’s Morning Show at WZPL. “Jen was in it. I auditioned and got in, met Scott Martin Jen at rehearsal and the world stopped turning,” Martin said. “We then auditioned for the show ‘Oklahoma!’ at Wayne Township Community Theater (in 2011) and we were cast opposite each other as Will Parker and Ado Annie. Through time together and lots of kissing scenes, we quickly fell in love.”

The Carmel couple are appearing in “42nd Street” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre April 4 to May 19.

“This will be my third show at Beef & Boards and I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work here,” Jen said. “I was in ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ and ‘Elf’ this past holiday season.”

Jen plays Ethel of the chorus girl hopefuls in the musical.

“I adore tap dancing, so ‘42nd Street’ has always been on my radar since it’s such an incredible tap show,” Jen said. “I really enjoy this type of role because you have so much room to play. While there are leading characters with lines to tell the story, it is the responsibility of the Jen Martin entire company to create the world these characters exist in. Without having as many details in the script about my character, I get the opportunity to make decisions about who my character is and further develop who Ethel is.”

Martin, a 2002 Zionsville High School graduate, is appearing as Pat Denning in “42nd Street.” He previously performed in “42nd Street” in 2007 at the Artists’ Studio in Fishers.

The couple have two sons, Will, 3, and Josh, 1 1/2 years old. Jen said they had to make sure doing the show was feasible with double time commitments.

A creative backyard landscape transformation. (Submitted photos)

Matthew L. Hinkle

Daniel E. Coots

This incredibly stylish outdoor living space was a result of a solid vision from the thrilled homeowners, coupled with a narrow and squeezed backyard BEYOND THE that fueled several creBACKDOOR ative ideas.

After negotiating through a few designs, we expanded the deck steps to become multiple 36-inch-deep landings. It made for much friendlier transitions and is considerably more dramatic, especially with the recessed-tape lighting under the handrail and mini-sconces on the posts.

Trex decking, stunning landscape After imagining several deck materials, we selected Trex Lava Rock as the flooring and contrasting Island Mist as the step risers and fascia of the elevated deck. Black aluminum spindles seem to disappear and allow for an inspirational view of the leafy

wooded area behind the property that is packed with flowering native trees. We added to nature’s beauty with many of our thriving and low-maintenance favorites: multi-stem sweet bay magnolia and serviceberry trees, oak leaf hydrangea, ninebark and fothergilla flowering shrubs and a textural variety of colorful groundcovers and perennials.

Just outside the backdoor is a built-in, space-saving bar counter hovering above the spindles and handrail. It is ideal for abbreviated spaces and perfect for bright bar stools to add even more style.

Style — a primary component of luxury outdoor living!

If I only had a time machine Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Bridge of Remembrance in Christchurch, New Zealand. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Christchurch: A resilient New Zealand city Commentary by Don Knebel The recent mosque massacres are the latest of many catastrophes to hit Christchurch.

If history is any indication, this TRAVEL dynamic city of approximately 400,000 on New Zealand’s South Island will come back from its horrors stronger and more united than ever.

In 1856, Queen Victoria granted Christchurch a charter, making it New Zealand’s first city. Gothic Revival buildings soon followed in the city center. In 1864, when the city had fewer than 500 male residents, the local Anglican bishop began constructing a cathedral in Cathedral Square. Three times before the iconic Gothic cathedral was completed in 1904, it was damaged by earthquakes that destroyed buildings in the city. In 1947, a fire near the cathedral killed 41 people and destroyed a number of buildings in the area. In September 2010 and again in February, June and December 2011, major earthquakes struck Christchurch, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of buildings and the deaths of 185 people.

The tower of the cathedral toppled and the

remainder of the church was severely compromised, leading to calls for its demolition.

The Bridge of Remembrance, an arch honoring New Zealand’s war dead, was badly damaged. Estimates of the damage from the earthquakes exceeded $20 billion, an average of $50,000 for each resident.

Rather than abandoning the center city, government officials decided to rebuild it, with a focus on the future and buildings designed to survive future earthquakes. To accommodate anticipated population growth, the plan contemplates building 50,000 new homes by 2028. The cathedral will be rebuilt at a cost of about $100 million and restored as the seat of the bishop. The government of New Zealand has committed more than $700 million to build and equip new schools.

In 2016, the repaired and strengthened Bridge of Remembrance was rededicated as a symbol of the city’s resilience.

I appreciate reader feedback, and I try to respond to each email and letter I receive. Believe it or GRAMMAR GUY not, at least seven of you are reading Grammar Guy on a consistent basis! That’s humbling.

If you had a time machine to go back and redo one moment of your life, what would you change? For me, I would learn where to place the word “only” in a sentence properly. This grammar faux pas of mine doesn’t get past you word nerds out there. In fact, I’ve received at least seven emails about my misplacement of “only” over the past few months. So, if you don’t mind, I’m going to learn my lesson once and for all; after all, Grammar Guy should get this right (lest the readers think him a dullard).

Only is like a key fob with weak batteries — it’s effective just when it’s as close to the thing it’s modifying as possible. So, when you move “only” around in a sentence, it gunks up or completely changes the meaning of your sentence. The proximity of “only” to the word or phrase it

modifies is crucial.

The more I look at the word “only,” the more it reminds me of the way we use the word “just.” In these examples, when you see “only,” substitute it in your mind with the word “just.”

Only vampires bite humans in the neck.

This sentence implies no one besides vampires bites humans in the neck area.

Vampires bite humans only in the neck.

Here, the implication is that vampires don’t bite humans anywhere else.

Vampires only bite humans in the neck.

This use of only here implies that vampires don’t do anything else to humans except bite their necks.

Vampires bite only humans in the neck.

This suggests vampires don’t bite ostriches, giraffes, flamingos, or anything else in the neck — just humans.

Apparently, I understand grammar best when I use nerdy examples like vampires and time machines.
