Recycling pickup may increase

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is looking at whether residential recycling pickup should be increased from biweekly environment to once a week.

In January, the Carmel City Council voted 5-2 to eliminate the opt-out for trash collection in the city, leading all residents to use the same trash collection services starting in 2017. Currently, Republic Services has the city’s contract but residents could opt-out and use another service.

Under the city’s current contract, Republic picks up recycling every other week, but Sue Maki, Manager of Environmental Initiatives & Education for the City of Carmel Utilities, said some want to see the frequency be increased when a new five-year contract is done at the end of 2016. She said she believes residents want weekly recycling pickup but cost is a concern for some. The change could necessitate two more trucks and two additional fulltime drivers.

“Hopefully, it wouldn’t cost too much so we could increase recycling,” she said.

Maki didn’t want to speculate on what the cost increase would be for weekly recycling, but she said it would be very small. She said weekly recycling would help people remember to sort their recycling and stay in the habit.

“So much of our trash can be recycled,” she said.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he hopes to hear input from the public on whether they want increased recycling pickup.

“Some in the public would clearly like to see weekly recycling, others don’t care,” Brainard

said.

Any change in pricing would have to be approved by the Carmel City Council.

Many apartment complexes currently don’t utilize recycling pickup even if they use Republic Services.

Carmel is considering inMaki said more creasing recycling pickup than half of all Carmel apartment from biweekly to once a week. (Submitted photo) complexes do and those that don’t cite cost as their main concern, along with questions about space for storage. Maki said apartment renters should let their leasing companies know if they would like to see recycling services added.

tips on recycling • All recyclables can be co-mingled: cans, paper, metals, cardboard, glass and plastics.

• Don’t put in any contaminated recyclables.

For example, a pizza box is made of cardboard but the grease from the pizza makes it not a recycling option.

CRC approves several contracts

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has approved contracts and agreements to move forward with develredevelopment opment in Carmel’s urban core.

On March 23, the redevelopment commission held a public meeting and approved the bond lease agreement for the Midtown area.

No citizens showed up to comment on the bonds.

The Carmel City Council and the CRC separately approved $20 million in bonds to build two parking garages for the proposed Midtown development, to be located between the Carmel Arts & Design District and the Carmel City Center. Construction should include 308-space and 580-space parking garages.

The CRC has also approved a $170,200 contract with Gehl Studio Inc., a branch of a Denmark-based firm that aims to study the Midtown area and look at possibly widening the multi-use Monon Trail to accommodate more users.

A contract of more than $13 million was also approved for Wilhelm’s Design Build, which designed the five-deck garage for City

Center Phase 2. The garage will have at least 725 parking spaces with approximately 28,000 square feet of commercial retail and office space. Construction should begin on the garage in May and will last 12 months. The city is financing the project with tax increment financing to repay municipally backed bonds used to fund the Pedcor project. The bonds are backed with a special benefits tax, which Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has said is in place to get a lower interest rate and would likely never go into effect. Pedcor could reserve up to 25 percent of the spaces for residents.

The CRC opened bids for the Sophia Square Courtyard Plaza, which covers nearly all of the construction. Some items such as design or buying furniture for outdoors might not be included in the bid. One bid was received from Smock Fansler for $485,000. A technical review committee was created to facilitate the design build process for the completion of the plaza.

The CRC also reinstated an older program that allows for exterior improvements to buildings in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

Grants for improvements are not to exceed $7,000. Details on how to apply will be available at a later date.

Eagle Scout project supports refugee family

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Jared Stigter of Boy Scout Troop 215 is working on his Eagle Scout project a little bit earlier than most. At age fundraiser 15, the Carmel High School freshman is working to aid a refugee family that has plans to move from Burma to Indianapolis. He is collecting furniture, towels and other necessities needed for their new home.

“I chose this project because I thought it would be extra beneficial to this family who has gone through horrible situations and I thought Stigter they could use the help,” he said. “I’m taking donations of items that are needed to set up an apartment.”

Stigter is working with the organization Exodus Refugee Immigration for those wishing to make monetary donations instead.

“I’m broadcasting my project throughout Carmel High School and my church (Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.) I have a website and there are forms to sign up and volunteer time and items,” he said.

The family consists of a father, mother, a 5-year-old son and 2-year-old son. So far, Stigter has received a mattress, high chair, kitchen table and chairs and an entertainment center.

“Anything is great and appreciated,” he said.

“I’ve met a refugee family before, and they’re very similar to us, and they came to the U.S. with nothing, so I thought it would be great to help those similar to them that have been through violent situations.”

Stigter joined Cub Scouts when he was 8, and he moved up to Boy Scouts at age 11. He said the main reason behind his acceleration with the project is his schooling.

“I’ve made it a priority because high school will soon take over most of my time, so it needs to be done,” Stigter said. “Boy Scouts has taught me some hard work and survival skills. They’ve been very good to me, they’ve taught me service and leadership. They have really polished me out.”

CCHS debuts two exhibits

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society will debut two major exhibits in May. One is traveling and the other will stay put.

CCHS executive director Whitney Dennis is especially excited about the permanent addition, The Story of Carmel.

The interactive exhibit runs approximately four minutes.

“It will be mixture of Carmel now-and-then photos,” Dennis said. “We’re really excited because it’s a permanent addition. We have a flat screen TV and iPad. It’s a major update for the

Monon Depot Museum (211 First St. S.W.) We’ve never had that technology before.”

Dennis said it includes written captions along with the photos.

Andy Wright, who works with CCHS, created the interactive presentation. It was made possible by a grant from Hamilton Co. Tourism to celebrate the state's bicentennial year.

The traveling exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society called “The Hoosier Centennial, A Look Back at the 1916 Celebration” will be on exhibit from May 8 to 31. The exhibit shows how the centennial had a lasting effect in Indiana, establishing the first state parks, McCormick’s Creek in Owen Co. and Turkey Run in Parke Co.

Percussion clinic set for May 21

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Although the Carmel High School Drumline is coming off its most successful competition season, there is still a little work music to do.

CHS finished second in the open class at the Indiana Percussion Association state finals April 2 in Terre Haute.

“We went from sixth place in the A (novice category) last year to second in the open so it was really a successful year for us,” CHS Drumline director Jeff Queen said.

There is one more bit of business, though, as the group holds its annual percussion clinic for boys and girls in fourth through eighth grades from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 21 at the CHS band room. At the end of the session, the clinic participants will put on a performance for their parents.

“It will be a little more of a show-and-tell for the parents,” Queen said.

The clinic will provide education on fundamental techniques on keyboards and marching percussion snare drum, tenor and bass drum.

Three-legged dog inspires Carmel author to pursue a passion for helping children

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com A little dog in Carmel has become the star of a new children’s book series five years after narrowly escaping cover story an uncertain future as a runt puppy born with only three legs.

Author and Carmel resident Carolyn Moore wrote “Chance, The Incredible, Wonderful, Three-Legged Dog and The New Beginning” to teach young children that value lies in the differences of each person.

Chance, a Yorkie and Maltese mix, got his name after Moore’s son, Travis, rescued the puppy from a man known as “Farmer Brown” in the book. Moore said that Chance was about to be abandoned in a field when Travis intervened, giving him a “second chance.”

“Disney sometimes will put a little sad twist on some things, but that was a little much,” said Moore, explaining that the true story was softened for the purposes of the children’s book.

Chance’s name has become even more fitting now that he has given Moore the opportunity to realize a dream of using her talents and passions to influence the lives of young readers. The book has already been picked up

by Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com, and First Edition Design Publishing has sent promotional copies globally.

“I wanted children to know that you don't have to be perfect to be loved,” said Moore, talking about her vision for the first book in the series.

Her idea started more than a year ago as a rough mock-up draft that she drew with a pencil and paper.

“My mother said it best. She said, ‘When I look at him, I just can't imagine not having all the joy he brings to us because somebody would have thrown him out since he wasn't perfect.’ And that's the premise for this book,” Moore said.

Moore has already written the second book in the series and has plans for two more. The second book is planned to be released this spring and centers around Chance meeting new friends, which include humans, other dogs and cats.

“Your friends can come from all sorts of

places and you can learn all sorts of things from people when they're not exactly like you,” Moore said.

The third book in the series will be a holiday story, which she plans to release in time for Christmas.

Moore also creates the illustrations for her books. Without any previous graphic design experience, she learned to shoot high resolution images, use Photoshop and work with a digital pen and tablet tool.

Plans for Mother’s Day

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P

‘Oh, say, you can’t sing … ’ The long arm of government has reached all the way down to middle school now. A recently posted video making the rounds on Facebook shows a security guard abruptly stopping Waynesville (N.C.) Middle School Chorus’ singing of the national anthem at the 9/11 memorial in New York City. Barney Fife’s partner already had given the students permission to sing, but Barney said the law was that a permit was required. To. Sing. The. National. Anthem. There. The school’s principal said the kids “immediately complied and apologized.” How do you like that? That’s a memory that they’ll have forever. Wow. ••• Today’s edition of Current has voting information for the May 3 primary election.

If you’re registered to vote, please do so.

The voter turnout in these parts has been anemic at best, and we don’t understand the unplugged nature of the majority of citizens.

We’re providing snapshots of information about the candidates, as well as polling locations. By Tuesday, you would have had plenty of time to get up to speed. As we’ve written in this space, voting is a right and a responsibility. It’s important to exercise both.

••• We’ve been asked, as voting day draws closer, whether we would endorse any number of candidates. The short answer is no. We got out of that business quite some time ago as the number of Current editions began to rise. It is practically impossible for us to adequately interview each person running for office in order to form an educated conclusion on candidacies.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Prevarication nation Commentary by Terry Anker As the old joke goes – how do you know if a politician is lying? – his lips are moving.

With election season in full steam, the good people of Indiana are steeped in competing perspectives often labeled lies by the rivalrous camps. One might imagine some of these so-called dishonest statements are, in fact, points of view rather than measurable and specific data. Regardless, each of the would-be candidates take the lectern to claim their own moral superiority supposedly deep-rooted in honesty, integrity and a willingness to speak the truth.

But does the truth really matter? People have been prone to exaggeration and puffery for as long as we’ve had command of the language. We’ve all stretched a bit to bring comfort to others. Anyone with teenagers is probably guilty of observing the colossal Mount Vesuvius like blemish forming on the forehead of their progeny, and claiming – it really doesn’t look that bad – when we know full-well it may frighten

the villagers. But, our goal is to do good and help the young ones overcome.

So when we bring this almost quaint culture of white lies into the Internet age, what happens? Now elected officials tell us - well, of course I lied because you wouldn’t have voted for me otherwise. And, reality television stars proclaim – well, of course I lied because if you knew that I was in love with someone else you wouldn’t have continued with our really cool wedding. Magazines and Internet sites post lists of lies to tell to get upgraded hotel rooms, take advantage of the family leave act and effectively avoid getting caught in an affair.

To tell the truth, there is a disturbing trend of prevarication in our nation. Is the honest human an artifact and the greasy liar the contemporary archetype?

– Marcus Aurelius

Women of greater Indianapolis unite, for our day approach-eth! That’s right, people, Mother’s Day 2016 is upon us, humor and I, for one, am not taking any chances. There will be no failed expectations, no misunderstood requests and definitely no crying. Not this year. Not again. As such, I am calling a preemptive do-over. Hear ye, hear ye! Danielle’s most precious eight to 10 hours of blissful solitude will now occur on May 22, as May 8 does not fit into her schedule!

Seriously. Mother’s Day immediately following the first Saturday in May? The mini, first communions, proms, college graduations … and hello-o, the Kentucky Derby.

What are these calendar guys thinking?

And yes, I mean guys. No female would ever dedicate the day after a single major event, let alone the perfect storm of celebratory obligations, for honoring moms. We’d have chosen a random Sunday during the summer when school is out and the temperature’s consistently a pleasant 79. Oh wait.

That’s Father’s Day. I rest my case.

But I digress. As I have learned from countless number of MDs gone wrong, horribly wrong, moms can’t just hope that everything will turn out fine. We have to plan carefully, articulate our hopes clearly, and if necessary, take matters into our own hands.

To wit, our annual Derby party falls on May 7, which means May 8 will be spent picking up, lounging around and perhaps doubledowning on the Advil. (Mint julips are not to be messed with!) Absent from the agenda is coming downstairs to a clean house, enjoying brunch with the peeps (who’ll probably also be experiencing a rough morning) and either shopping at Simply Chic or gorging on buttered popcorn at Regal. Therefore, Mother’s Day must be moved.

I just told Doo about the plan, and he didn’t even blink. This ain’t my first rodeo, baby. I’ve also called re-do’s post MD, when sick kids, clueless husbands, or newly-minted driver accidents ruined my day. I’m not taking any chances this year, and I encourage all ladies to follow suit. Good luck, fair matrons, and Godspeed! Peace out.

My wife walks faster than I do. What makes this so humiliating is that I have always been a good athlete, but Mary Ellen humor hated sports. When my wife tries to run, she doesn’t bend her legs at the knees and she ends up looking like a soldier doing a goose-step on too much coffee.

No, she can’t run.

But boy, can she walk.

And I can’t figure out why she walks faster. Let’s see … her legs are longer than mine. And wait, she moves them back and forth faster than I do. Okay, I just figured it out. But this doesn’t make me feel any better.

The great irony is that I was attracted to my wife 35 years ago because of her long, slender legs. This is exactly how men get themselves in trouble. When I saw those lovely limbs, my mind turned to romance, but I should have realized that she’d be walking faster than me for the next 40 years. I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.

In fact, in high school and college, I prided myself on my speed. And I never had anything to do with girls who were fast. I probably should rewrite that sentence.

Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, when we are walking I hide behind a tree to see if my wife will look back to see where I am. Out on a hiking trail, this is okay, but in a residential neighborhood, men behind trees are frowned upon. When you are telling your story to a police officer and he keeps using the word “lurking,” you have a great deal of explaining to do.

Now, when my wife and I walk, we go in different directions around our neighborhood circle. No matter how slow I walk, we always pass each other at exactly the same time.

I know that sounds stupid. But don’t try to explain it to me. You know how slow I am.

I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster?

That wasn’t the plan.

Kidney donation strengthens bond

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Sisters Cindy McClure and Chrissy Field have always been close, but now their bond is stronger than ever. recovery Both had life-changing surgery Feb. 1, with Field having a healthy kidney removed and given to McClure who has suffered from chronic kidney disease her entire life.

And now, three months later, they are traveling the long road of recovery together.

“We’re both still licking our wounds and getting through the process, but I would totally do it again,” said Field, 46, a Carmel resident.

This was the second kidney transplant for McClure. In 2011, she was planning to receive a transplant from her brother, but before the surgery took place doctors found a match from a man who died in an accident.

That solution was short-lived, as her body began rejecting the new kidney almost from the start. She ended up in the hospital repeatedly fighting off infections, and eventually it became clear another kidney transplant would be necessary.

McClure’s brother was ready to donate again, but this time Field – who had been unable to donate the first time – got tested and found out she was a perfect match, even better than her brother.

McClure, 51, had reservations about receiving the kidney from her sister, who has a husband and two young children. But for Field, the decision to donate a kidney was an easy one.

“There’s a lot of factors to consider, but when you’re a perfect match and it’s your sister, well of course I’m going to do it,” she said.

This time, the results were different. McClure’s body hasn’t shown any signs of rejec-

tion, and her recovery is going well.

“I’ve only had to go back in the hospital once to get fluids, and that seems to be (because) the kidney is working so well that it’s like everything I drink comes out,” said McClure, a Fishers resident.

McClure described her sister’s donation as “a selfless act of love” that she finds difficult to comprehend at times.

“She’s amazing, and just knowing that there’s someone that I have like that in my life is great,” McClure said. “There’s a special bond there for sure.”

Field’s recovery is going a bit slower than she expected. She plans to return to her job as an associate marketing manager at Roche in early May. But she has found encouragement from other living organ donors and knowing that her gift has meant renewed life for her sister.

“For me, that was the end game: getting her to a point where she can find a new normal,” Field said. “Hopefully things will continue to just improve and get better. I look forward to a day when we’re both completely healed and look back on it and say, ‘Wow, this has been really amazing.’”

Learn about organ donation at donatelife. net.

A helping hand After both of her transplants, Cindy McClure has used the website WhatFriendsDo to manage support from friends and family during her recovery. She called the Indianapolis-based service “a godsend.”

“WhatFriendsDo was so great during (my first recovery), so naturally when we knew we were going to do it again my husband said, ‘Let’s just reactivate that account,’” McClure said. “They’ve been so helpful.”

WhatFriendsDo allows users to set up support teams whose members can sign up to bring meals, run errands, help with childcare, view a registry of needs, leave notes, make a financial donation and more. Users

can post photos and video updates, write blog entries or order team gear.

Co-founder and CEO Aimee Kandrac started WhatFriendsDo in 2006 after supporting a close family friend suffering from brain cancer. Since then, the site has been used to help more than 60,000 people worldwide.

“When people come to our website, they’re facing an overwhelming situation.

It can be a really great thing or it can be something more difficult,” Kandrac said. “Either way, … our mission is to help bring all of those people together who want to help and give them an actionable, useful way to do that.” For more, visit WhatFriendsDo.com.

Managing meds key for seniors

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Home Instead Senior Care’s mission is to make certain children talk with their elderly parents wellness about drugs.

More specifically, reminding their senior parents to take their prescription medication at the right time and correct dosages.

Sewell Home Instead Senior Care, which serves Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville and Geist, is highlighting a program “Let’s Talk about Rx,” which encourages families to talk to senior loved ones about the potential dangers of missing medications.

“We educate them on how to converse, signs to look for and those type of things about managing medication,” said Jeff Sewell, who owns the Indianapolis Home Instead Senior Care franchise on the north side of Indianapolis.

More than 100,000 seniors in North America go to the hospital each year because of medication management problems.

Home Instead provides personal care for seniors who want to stay in their own homes.

Home Instead doesn’t provide nurses or physical therapists.

“We provide home care, companionship, medication reminders, which is one of the big things we do,” Sewell said. “We have a lot of clients who have Alzheimer’s or some other dementia. We take care of hygiene, run errands, homemaking, meal preparations or those kinds of things.”

For more, visit LetsTalkAboutRx.com.

Five tips from Home Instead Senior Care 1. Have a family or professional caregiver accompany the senior to the doctor to ask questions and ensure full understanding of the medication regimen.

2. Make one doctor the gatekeeper to manage medications and discuss any problems taking a medication, such as the inability to swallow a pill.

3. Use medication organizers, such as a pill box.

4. Use medication trackers.

5. Consider ordering medications from a pharmacy such as Simple Meds that provides pre-packaged doses of medications and vitamins.

Cook up a Mother’s Day to remember Submitted content courtesy of Family Features Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember recipes by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life.

Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years.

Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare.

A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter.

Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria beach in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program.

For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com.

Give the mom in your life the latest beauty treatments

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Michaela Baird, esthetician at Sundance Salon and Spa in Zionsville, claims the dual exfoliation facial is a great treatment for a spring look. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

With blue skies and spring breezes chasing away the winter blahs, many are realizing they want to look and feel better, therefore searching out spas. spas A few local spas offer services specific for a fresh spring look.

Dual Exfoliation Facial Sundance Salon Spa, 47 S. Elm St., Zionsville, offers a dual exfoliation facial with Aveda products to cast a clean, fresh look without the damaging chemicals. The two-part, clinical facial cleanses and then uses a plant peel on the face for facial results without uncomfortable, irritated skin sometimes caused by facial chemicals.

“This is a great choice for spring because of cold weather, everybody has a buildup of dry skin and dead cells,” said Michaela Baird, esthetician at the salon. “With the dual exfoliation facial, you’ll get a better tan on spring break and your face will be cleaned out better. You’ll get back that moisture you’ve been missing all winter.”

The dual exfoliation facial lasts an hour and costs $105.

Shellac nails Sundance Salon Spa also offers an upgrade from a normal manicure or pedicure by using shellac nail polish. This gel-like polish will provide two weeks’ worth of no chipping.

“This is also a great option for spring break, because if you’re going in the ocean normal polish will not stay on and you will have to continuously apply,” Baird said.

Shellac prices: Manicure - $45, pedicure - $70.

Treat mom to an appointment at a local salon like Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, where beauticians suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for women this season.

Haircuts and styles popular for spring Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for those women searching for a spring look.

“The lighter ombré is pretty big right now, especially with lighter colors like blondes and light browns for spring,” Stylist Jessica Jones said. “It’s a new trend. Everyone loves the color fading right now. It’s the new hot thing.”

Ombré prices range from $100-$160.

In pair with the ombré color scheme, Jones said that as fair as haircuts go, the longer look is currently in style for spring.

To contact Twisted Sisters, call 317-804-9503.

Lasley whose creative vision and casting helped bring the musical to life. What a treat it was to see the talented Tobin Strader, Marni Lemons and the entire cast of “Fiddler” shine on stage.

I loved this musical as a child, and it still ranks as a favorite today. Nothing beats sitting back and observing a sold-out crowd laughing, crying and humming along to their favorite songs. Throughout the show, we were entertained by the sounds from a simple fiddle and/or 17-piece orchestra under the direction of Civic’s own Brent E. Marty. Crowd favorites included “Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Do You Love Me” and “The Dream” which was brilliantly choreographed by Anne Beck. I guarantee that you will enjoy the show and leave with a huge smile on your face. Grab your family and friends and go see this production, which runs through May 7. I am also stoked about Civic Theatre’s recent announcement for their 2016-2017 season, which includes “Young Frankenstein,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Rumors,” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” and “The Music Man.” Whew! Yep, it’s safe to say that Civic Theatre is continuing the tradition by bringing only the best theatre and musicals to its home in Carmel. Fire up, and Where’s Amy? will see you there - L’chaim!

Russian Festival set for May 22

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The first Russian Festival far exceeded Natalia Rekhter’s expectations.

“Last year, we had 1,500 culture people,” said Rekhter, who coordinates the event. “We expected maybe 400 or 500. We ran out of food to sell, items to sell. Everything was sold in three or four hours.”

Rekhter promises she and the volunteers will better prepared this time. Rekhter is the executive director of the Russian School of Indiana, which is sponsoring its second annual Russian Festival from noon to 7 p.m. May 22 at University High School, 2425 W. 116 St., Carmel.

The festival is organized by the volunteers of the Russian School and sponsored by the City of Carmel Arts Grants. The Russian School is an enrichment program held on Sundays at University. Rekhter said there are 16 teachers at the Russian School, but the majority donate their time.

Festival admission is free. There will be Russian food, including borsht and pelmeni (Russian style dumplings), Russian-style desserts and pastries and crafts for sale. Rekhter said all festival proceeds will be used to benefit the school’s programs and activities.

“There is a lot of music and dancing,” Rekhter said. “It’s very festive.”

Craft items that sold out fast last year were the Russian-style nested dolls.

The entertainment will include St. Nicholas

Indie folk group to play May 5

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com

After a half-dozen years of playing together and knowing each longer than that, the four members of the band Darlingside Music have developed a writing and singing process that has grown side by side with their friendships. On their new album, “Birds Say,” the foursome put together a collection of songs created over the past three years in their kitchens and living rooms, on cabin retreats and while visiting each other’s childhood homes.

“We’ve become intimate with each other’s childhoods, families, fears, goals, insecurities and body odors,” said Auyon Mukharji, classical violinist and folk mandolinist for the band.

“That kind of closeness is typically limited to romantic relationships. It’s gotten to the point where we often mistake each other’s stories and memories for our own.”

Darlingside will illustrate how some of that closeness translates into amazing four-part harmonies when the band visits The Warehouse for an 8 p.m. show on May 5.

The members of Darlingside met at Williams College in western Massachusetts. Mukharji and bassist Dave Senft were freshmen roommates and joined a singing group with banjo player Don Mitchell. Guitarist Harris Paseltiner joined the same group two years later. From

From left: Dave Senft, Harris Paseltiner, Auyon Mukharji and Don Mitchell. (Submitted photo by Rob Stey)

there, the four bonded over a shared interest in songwriting, despite a diversity of musical backgrounds and performance styles including chamber music, choral singing, Celtic session playing and street busking.

“Birds Say” is a patchwork of the artistic and personal visions of four equal songwriters, and Senft said each song and set of lyrics “were created by all of us together, a sort of group stream-of consciousness. So we moved away from a single lead vocalist and started gravitating towards singing in unison, passing the melody around, or harmonizing in four parts through an entire song.”

Darlingside will be sharing the indie folk artist bill at The Warehouse with David Wax Museum. Tickets are $20 in advance at liveforthemusic.com and $25 at the door.

This year marks the 28th anniversary of CarmelFest where a second generation of youngsters and an array of new residents will be making memories, enjoying picnics on the lawn, dancing to music, celebrating summer and eating way too many funnel cakes.

This year’s CarmelFest Committee volunteers are working hard to put together a memorable event for people of all ages. Festival highlights will include free entertainment on three stages (including performances by the Wright Brothers, Carmel Symphony Orchestra and My Yellow Rickshaw), CarmelFest Has Talent vocal competition, an interactive KidZone with petting zoo & rides, a shopping MarketPlace, NorthZone party area, BANG! VIP fireworks experience, Spectacular Fireworks Display and more.

Throughout our two day festival you will have the opportunity to connect with old friends, meet new friends and enjoy special time with your family while honoring the founders of our country who gave us the freedom we enjoy as a nation today.

Selling prices up 2.7 percent

Rug Gallery Since 1981

Commentary by Jim Litten

Flooring

March revealed it’s a sellers’ market in central Indiana residential real estate. The amount of available listings real estate decreased 13.5 percent compared to this time last year, and this has helped raise the average selling price of a home 2.7 percent across the region. The number of pended home sales have also increased year to date by approximately 1.6 percent compared to 2015.

March 2016 was a slower month for Hamilton Co. compared to this time last year. Pended sales declined 8.5 percent, or 57 homes, compared to March 2015. Inventory also tightened by approximately 6 percent, a decrease of 102 houses. In addition, average sale prices inched up 0.5 percent to $272,524.

• In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sales price decreased 0.3 percent to $348,802.

• Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Carmel in March 2016. Overall, homes sold in 93 days – 11 more days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Carmel had fewer options

available to them. Last month, 482 homes were available for sale – 62 fewer homes compared to March 2015.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Carmel. In March 2016, 160 homes sold – a decline of 18 homes compared to March 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, three were priced $1,000,000 or higher; 21 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 57 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 50 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 27 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and two were priced below $99,999.

It is a prime time to be a seller. Sellers do not have as much competition, as buyer options at all price levels – starter, trade-up and premium – are dropping, especially in the starter category. And, the pacing of sales continues to accelerate month over month.

On April 18, the Carmel City Council voted unanimously to approve tax abatements for Blue Horseshoe Solutions, a business supply chain logistics company that plans to construct a 11,000-square-foot headquarters on the U.S. 31 corridor at 11590 N. Meridian St. The company plans to invest $3.5 million in a move announced back in March, bringing up to 70 jobs with an average salary of $83,000 to Carmel by 2020. Construction could be complete by early 2017.

Blue Horseshoe plans to install approximately $1.3 million worth of information technology equipment, which is a depreciable personal property that would normally be subject to property taxes. The council has now approved tax abatement for that personal property to aid in the acquisition and installation.

The passed resolution states the project will, “further and promote municipal development objectives by expansion of the property tax base through the purchase and installation of the eligible personal property.” City councilors explain that means that the tax

abatement will encourage Blue Horseshoe to further invest in equipment to help grow its company and employee base in Carmel.

Companies that receive tax abatement from the city have to provide annual documents to Carmel for review to continue receiving the abatement. In previous years, some companies have lost their tax abatements by failing to file or other conditions.

Get the trifecta: Privacy, shade and vibe Commentary by Randy Sorrell Outdoor style is paramount. Take a look at the catalogs arriving daily packed with sleek furniture, patterned rugs, vogue fire outdoors vessels, heating towers and everything else that screams outdoor cool! I dig it! And, it’s all driven towards helping us create the right feel … or vibe.

Tightly coupled with creating the right vibe are privacy and shade conversations. “How do I establish privacy so that our outdoor gatherings seem intimate?” or … “Help, I need protection from the sun.”

Maturing I believe those issues of vibe, privacy and shade represent both a maturing of our culture and of our fueled pursuit of luxury outdoor living. Initially, our ambitions simply centered around developing some sort of patio or deck to enjoy. A place where we could grill, entertain friends occasionally and hopefully relax with a book and a glass of vino.

Now that many of us have accomplished that, our tastes are evolving to more advanced thoughts. Like the trifecta of privacy, shade and vibe.

Solutions Historically, we have relied on wood fences

9BURGER

$ Have a space to enjoy being outside in the privacy of your own backyard. (Submitted photo)

for privacy and mature trees for shade. Recently, we have grown more impatient and would like those issues solved in more creative, immediate and fashionable ways.

Often, those solutions are similar. Pergolas designed for shade offer some sense of privacy from homes perched close to each other. Add horizontal “lattice-like” members and the privacy ratio explodes, as does the resulting shade as the sun works its way toward the horizon.

The featured massive Carmel deck/patio/ pergola/privacy panel/landscape project

shows off several solutions geared toward the trifecta. It’s packed with luscious color, smart traffic flow, architecture that correlates with the home and plenty of living space.

Get yours this season and enjoy the vibe like never before.

Growing for flavor, not quantity Commentary by Stephanie Sullivan Our neighbors are probably questioning the incriminating glow of ultraviolet lights coming from our base? ment windows. If they think we’re trying to grow our bank account through illicit means, I am here to assure them, we’re growing something much more important: heirloom tomatoes.

I love to garden. Cultivating vegetables not only feeds my family, it feeds my soul.

Fifteen years ago I started gardening with a couple of tomato plants in containers on my patio. When I wanted more yield, I built raised beds and filled them with vegetable plants I bought at the hardware store.

These plants were standard, faithful varieties, and they were productive.

As my skills grew, so did my conviction that heirloom variety plants produced the best tasting vegetables. While modern-day hybrids offer a lot in the way of disease resistance, all of that muddling around with genes has bred out the most important attribute: flavor.

Inspired to grow for flavor and not just quantity, I poured over heirloom seed

catalogs. I was agog at the riches: dragon tongue bush beans, Parisian pickling cucumbers, violet jasper tomatoes. Many of these varieties are centuries old. The same DNA that thrived in Tuscan kitchen gardens 200 years ago could be here in my humble Carmel back yard!

So here I am, the proud mama to a flat of heirloom seedlings I’m nurturing in my basement. They are growing on a simple metal bookcase under shop lights we picked up at Home Depot. Each day I visit them and marvel at how they’ve grown since the day before. Their names thrill me: Amish paste, Grappoli D’Iverno, brandywine red. Even as seedlings, their leaves are distinct, hinting at the uniqueness they will show in full bloom.

My garden will always have plants from the hardware store, but this year they’ll grow alongside their older, more worldly cousins.

Stephanie Sullivan lives in Carmel with her husband and four children. She is a self-proclaimed “granola girl in high heels” who is as passionate about her work as a learning and development professional as she is about gardening, baking, environmentalism and thrifty upcycling.

Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Never again: A promise or hope?

Commentary by Don Knebel A Berlin memorial remembering the Jewish victims of the Holocaust was intended to provide a visual reminder about travel what can happen when a society gives itself over to hate. Not everyone is getting the message.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe lies just south of the new American embassy and just east of Ebertstraße, a street once containing a long section of the wall separating East and West Berlin. The 4.7-acre site, within sight of the Brandenburg Gate, previously held the city villa of Joseph Goebbels, one of the architects of Nazi persecution.

The memorial itself consists of 2711 rectangular concrete slabs of uniform length and width, with heights ranging from a few inches to more than 15 feet. The slabs, called “stelae,” are positioned on a grid, with their varying heights arranged to create an irregularly undulating appearance that exaggerates the rises and falls of the uneven ground, especially for visitors walking among them. An underground information center contains the names of three million Jewish Holocaust victims.

The memorial was designed by Peter Eisenman, an American architect who won a 1997 design competition after the winner of an earlier competition was rejected by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Eisenman said his disquieting design suggests what happens when an apparently rational society loses its bearings. As if to prove the point, critics discovered that the German chemical company engaged to coat the stelae against graffiti was associated with the firm that produced cyanide tablets for concentration camp death chambers, temporarily halting construction. The memorial was finally dedicated on May 10, 2005, almost 60 years to the day of the German surrender in World War II. Since the Memorial’s opening, the stelae have been repeatedly marred with swastikas and other anti-Semitic markings. Unfortunately, “Never Again” far too often seems less a promise than a hope.

One of those days?
