Proscenium II is proposed on the northeast corner of Range Line Road and Carmel Drive. It includes 48 luxury apartments, seven for-sale condos, 15,000 square feet of office and retail space and a 120-space parking garage. (Submitted rendering)

Proscenium II proposed to replace former Walgreens

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Proscenium redevelopment project is coming to life on the northwest corner of Range Line Road and DEVELOPMENT Carmel Drive, and its developer is hoping for similar success in a mixed-use project proposed just across the street.

Proscenium II is proposed on the northeast side of the intersection to replace a former Walgreens building currently being used as a Proscenium leasing office.

The $18 million project includes 48 luxury apartments, seven for-sale condos, 15,000 square feet of office and retail space and a 120-space parking garage.

The Carmel City Council is considering the creation of a tax increment financing zone for the project, meaning the increase in tax revenue generated by the project in the zone would go to developers to repay the bonds used to finance it. Birkla Investment Group and Nova Development, which also developed The Proscenium, is responsible for the bonds and would receive 100 percent of the TIF funds for the next 25 years to help cover them.

Huntington Bank, which is at 998 S. Range Line Rd. but is being forced to re-

locate because of the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters expansion, will occupy 4,000 square feet in Proscenium II, which also will include a tap room among its retail-space offerings.

“We’re really trying to take a parking component and share that amongst uses where you have morning, noon and night traffic, trying to create as much assessed value as possible on a single asset,” said Tony Birkla, owner of Birkla Investment Group and Nova Development.

Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky said Proscenium II is the first project in Carmel to have for-sale condos on its top floor. He said the proposal of the project and The Signature, another mixed-use development planned with apartments, for-sale units and retail being considered by the council for a TIF allocation area, created a “watershed moment” for Carmel.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun negotiating all future deals because this is what they’re going to be judged against as far as for-sale components,” he said.

Both the proposed Proscenium II and The Signature allocation areas will be reviewed by the council’s finance committee before returning to the full council for a vote. A meeting date has not been announced.

Mock trial champions — Team Firecracker Club from Carmel High School won the Indiana high school mock trial state championship and will compete in the national championship May 12 to 15.

Council approves nearly $25M bond for land, light show

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council on May 3 voted 5-3 to approve a nearly $25 million bond to cover land acquisition for CITY NEWS redevelopment efforts, a water tower light show, roundabout art and various other projects.

The 20-year bond will be repaid through tax increment financing.

The only proposal struck from the bond was $650,000 to fund several electronic, interactive kiosks throughout central Carmel to guide visitors and passersby to nearby restaurants, events and attractions. Councilor Tim Hannon, who proposed the amendment to remove funding for the kiosks, said Hannon he believes they should be funded through other methods, such as sponsorships or Hamilton County tourism dollars.

“Technology is very agile. It’s constantly changing,” Hannon said. “Trying to predict what consumers use today, let alone 20 years from now, is nearly impossible.”

The council approved several other amendments, including a requirement that CRC land acquisition purchases of $50,000 or more tied to the bond must first come before the city council for a vote. The council also added a stipulation that the CRC conduct additional research into the cost and impact of the water tower light show and present its findings to the council, which will then vote whether or not to proceed with the estimated $1.5 million project.

The Carmel Public Art Advisory Committee will be required to weigh in on the light show as well.

Another amendment cut funding for a sculpture in the roundabout at Illinois Street and Zotec Drive from $500,000 to $250,000, as Zotec Partners has agreed to match city dollars committed to the project.

The council voted to use the $250,000 saved for land acquisition.

Several other amendments proposed

enough votes to pass.

Councilor Adam Aasen joined councilors Sue Finkam, Jeff Worrell, Miles Nelson and Kevin “Woody” Rider in voting in favor of the bonds.

“When I ran (for office), I made a vow that I would keep an open mind, and I would do what I think is in the best interest of the city,” Aasen said. “I believe at this time it is wise to continue with the vision that got us here today.”

Hannon and councilors Laura Campbell and Tony Green voted against the bonds.

Campbell “None of my constituents have wanted most of these things, aside from the land acquisition,” Green said. “That’s my struggle, knowing the land acquisition has to happen to go ahead and support Green some of these bonds.”

The council earlier this year approved a $38 million bond to support an expansion of the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters building and a $60 million bond for road improvements, with many of the upgrades happening in Home Place, which is represented by Green. Some of the properties eyed for land acquisition are in Home Place as well.

None of the bonds are expected to lead to an increase in the tax rate.

CPD investigation leads to 6 child sex crimes charges

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A Carmel Police Dept. detective’s investigation helped lead to the arrest of a New Haven woman who has COURTS been charged with child molesting, child exploitation and possession of child pornography.

Jeanina M. Lowe, 33, is accused of creating sexually explicit images and a video of a 3-year-old male and sharing them with Lowe other users on the Kik messaging app.

According to a probable cause affidavit, in late 2020, CPD Det. John Pirics worked with the New Haven Police Dept. to investigate a case involving Lowe sending sexually explicit photos to a male teen in Carmel.

Pirics and a New Haven Police Dept. detective met with Lowe in December 2020 at a Panera Bread in Fort Wayne for an interview. Lowe initially denied her sexual relationship with the Carmel teen, which wasn’t illegal, but later admitted to it, saying that she thought he was 18 years old.

During the meeting with investigators, Lowe told Pirics that she had created sexually explicit photos of the 3-year-old male.

Lowe willingly gave officers her phone and showed them the photos and video she made of the 3-year-old victim. She told officers the victim sleeps with her every night and that she made the video and images while he was sleeping. Officers also found other pornographic videos involving children on Lowe’s phone.

Lowe told the officers that she used the Kik app to send exploitative files she created to others. An analysis of the phone showed she sent the files in November 2020 to users already known to Pirics from ongoing investigations involving child pornography, the affidavit states. Lowe told investigators she expected to receive $1,000 for each picture she created.

The affidavit states that Lowe admitted to making the child pornography because “she just wanted to come clean with everything.”

A hearing in the case has been set for June 21 in an Allen County court.

County updates comprehensive plan for first time in 14 years

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com County comprehensive plans are typically reviewed once every 10 years, so after 14 years without an upGOVERNMENT date, Hamilton County was in need of a new one. The document outlines a foundation for all land use, transportation and environmental policies for the rural townships of Wayne and White River and the northeast corner of Noblesville and Adams Township.

“Especially with the explosive growth we’ve had here in our county, we felt like it was important we update it, and we have had a lot of people move into our county since the last time it’s been updated,” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said. “We really needed to get a lot of public input with it.”

Although the public input session occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, Carmel-based Innovative Planning CEO Corrie Meyer and her team conducted nine township meetings and seven council and plan commission meetings to gather input for the plan. On April 12, Hamilton County commissioners approved the updated plan.

“We had tremendous public input on this,” Heirbrandt said. “Our last two plan commission meetings, not only were they opened up virtually to call in, but we had a packed house at the government and judicial center. There was a lot of public input, and we listened to the people.”

Although land outside of city limits makes up 50 percent of the acreage in the county, 95 percent of it is agricultural, which leads to some challenges.

“You think about the top grossing and top growth, population-wise, of the state that Hamilton County is right there, and there was a strong desire to preserve that,” Meyer said. “We needed to research how other communities were doing and also listen to what the citizens were saying they wanted. Did they want to preserve agriculture or did they want to continue their family economy? Their main ask was, ‘We like the farming culture that is in Hamilton County, we like the access we have to the other communities. The other communities can continue to grow and provide amenities and shops and art, but let’s focus that growth within the city boundaries and continue to preserve the agriculture.’”

FEELINGS REGARDING PRESERVING AGRICULTURAL LAND

An Inspiring Story “Preserving and honoring the history of our 1957 home was very important to us as we began the remodeling process. The CASE team delivered with an excellent design, quality craftsmanship and great communication throughout the project.”

- M.G., Indianapolis

According to research by Innovative Planning and Hamilton County, a majority of the public wants to continue to preserve agricultural land in the county. (Submitted images)

Although not a zoning change, the comprehensive plan lays out a series of action items for the plan commission to implement in the next 10 years, including recommended zoning changes.

“One of the things we recommended was to create a rural urban overlay zone in Wayne Township to strategically allow for growth to happen but not to sprawl,” Meyer said. “The rural urban overlay zone is a policy that establishes overlay zoning criteria that says density needs to be this and land use is flexible, but it needs to match this density and it needs to really limit the sprawl going into the rural areas.”

Another public request involved the 10acre rule, whereby current zoning code states that all residential land use has to have a minimum of 10 acres.

“That really limits families that may want to deed 2 acres to their kids so they can continue to stay on the property and work the property,” Meyer said. “That’s not allowed unless you go through a variance process. We ended up making a recommendation that basically says that the plan commission needs to revisit the minimum lot size and revise the residential codes.”

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury.

For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Klem has always been an active person, enjoying spinning classes, gardening, and spending time with his family. After several months of issues with his shoulder, Klem decided that it was time Klem loves spending to reach out to Methodist Sports Medicine time with his family and schedule an appointment. Due to chronic kidney issues, Klem was not a good candidate for a shoulder replacement, so instead, he decided to take the physical therapy route.

WHY MSM: “The staff at MSM were welcoming and helpful in establishing and exceeding my personal goals,” says Klem.

THE JOURNEY: When Klem arrived at Methodist Sports Medicine – Noblesville, he couldn’t lift his arm past his waist. Klem’s physical therapist, Mike Hornak, eased him in to rehab with goals of improving Klem’s range of motion and strength. Once Klem and Mike spent a few sessions together, they were able to move on to full body and strength conditioning exercises, such as HIIT and weight training. Klem is now able to lift a five pound bar overhead, bench press a 20 pound medicine ball, and has drastically increased his cardiovascular endurance.

Dr. Peter Sallay

“Klem has arrived each day with nothing but a positive attitude and determination,” said Mike. “It truly has been remarkable to witness his progress.”

Klem looks forward to growing his vegetable garden and getting back to running around with his two grandsons this summer without pain.

Mike Hornak, PT

THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Peter Sallay, Orthopedic Shoulder Specialist, and Mike Hornak, Physical Therapist.

Library, brewery welcome author

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Public Library’s upcoming Virtual Author Visit will have a little added flavor, courtesy of Books & Brews Carmel.

The author will be J. Ryan EVENT Stradal, whose second novel, “The Lager Queen of Minnesota,” came out in hardback in 2019 and paperback in 2020.

Stradal will appear through Facebook Live at 7 p.m. May 13, and Books & Brews Carmel is brewing a Stradal special tap beer called The Lager Queen to mark the occasion. Patrons can bring their laptops or device to Books & Brews to watch the livestream and enjoy a pint of beer or take a growler home to watch the presentation.

Stradal will give a description of what inspired the characters and take questions.

“I was raised in a family where a lot of people didn’t like beer,” said Stradal, who grew up in Hastings, Minn., and now lives in Los Angeles. “My grandmother, Doris, in particular, who is the inspiration for my character, Edith, (didn’t like beer).”

Edith, who hated beer her whole life, ends up working in a brewery to help her granddaughter, a craft brewer.

“I wanted to tell the story of beer in the Upper Midwest but also tell the story of how families change and evolve over time,” Stradal said. “Particularly like the family in the book and mine, where there were disputes on unfairly divided farmland. It was something that caused great disturbances on both sides of my family. In the story, the farm is given to one sibling and the other sibling gets nothing.”

Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Stradal made several appearances at breweries with the book.

“Some breweries made beers especially for the event,” he said.

During the past year, he has done some virtual events with breweries as well.

After his first novel was published in 2015, Stradal became a full-time writer. He previously worked in television for several networks in story editing and producing.

Q&A: Spartz reflects on first months in Congress

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz began her first term representing Indiana’s 5th District on Jan. 3.

P0LITICS During one for her frequent visits to the district, Current caught up with Spartz for an interview after she had finished touring the Lawrence Police Spartz Dept. headquarters.

How has your experience in Washington, D.C., over the last several months differed from your expectations going in?

I didn’t have very high expectations. I’m not naïve. I’ve been in politics long enough.

It’s unfortunate. Such a serious institution with an important function and it’s become so dysfunctional. I talked to one of the members, Alaska’s Don Young, he’s been there since 1973, he’s the second congressman since Alaska became a state, and I asked him, “Has it always been that bad?”

And he says, “It’s never been as bad as it is right now.”

H.R. 1 recently passed the House and now is sitting in the Senate. It aims to federalize many of our country’s voting processes. Why did you vote against the bill?

H.R. 1 is actually an awful bill. There are a lot of things in that bill that are centralizing more power in the federal government. To think that a small group of people know better and are superior to millions of people on the ground, I would say it is probably the opposite. I think centralizing (an increasing amount of power) is a very bad idea.

The bill would cause significant change to Indiana’s election laws by federalizing elections and eliminating the voter ID requirement. Do you think the federal government should be involved in how individual states operate their elections?

I think it’s more of a state issue than a federal issue. There are a few things that the federal government can look inside, like how we can improve more integrity of the

federal elections and just deal with the federal piece. And having IDs, there is nothing wrong with that. We have IDs for everything. You cannot get on the plane without having an ID. The more populations grow, if you don’t have some controls in place, then that creates more opportunity for fraud.

Infrastructure is a big agenda item for President Joe Biden, and the bill — the American Jobs Plan — is going to cost a lot. What was your take on it?

Unfortunately, in the COVID bill, only 10 percent was related to COVID-19. And now in the infrastructure bill, only 6 percent is related to actual infrastructure that people think of — roads and bridges. I think if the president wants to have debate on other issues, we can have a separate debate, but he cannot lump every issue that he wants to deal with into one bill to try to force everyone to vote for something. It’s one thing, at least, if we spend our money and invest in assets like roads and bridges and tangible infrastructure that’s going to last us. You can justify (to future generations), “OK, you guys are going to take advantage of this.” Instead (we are) spending money to put bandages on issues that have existed for a long time and not resolving them.

How do you think our area of Indiana, maybe even Indiana as a whole, matches up with the rest of the country? Are we doing better, worse?

We have a lot to offer in this state, and I think it provides us an opportunity to compete with other states. We have good, stable laws. We have a good regulatory environment. We have good schools. We have economic growth and a low tax base. Going around other states, I’ve been very disturbed to see what is happening out there.

We have a very efficient operation, and the other states are wasting money left and right, and I feel like my citizens in Indiana have to pay for it. That’s very frustrating.

Why should we pay for programs in other states, New York and California, that don’t do a good job? That’s their state. If you don’t like it, move to another state or take down your elected officials.

“I didn’t have very high expectations … such a serious institution with an important function and it’s become so dysfuntional.”

Rick Giesel had never played soccer himself. He had no real understanding of the game, but he knew IN MEMORIAM what it meant to be a dad.

So, he signed up to coach his daughter Heath and son Henry’s recreation teams at Carmel Dads’ Club and took a crash course in the sport.

“He was an ‘all in’ kind of person and father,” said Rick’s wife, Mary Giesel. “If his children played soccer, then he was going to learn about the game. He read, ‘Coaching Youth Soccer for Dummies’ and his love of the game began. We loved watching him watch Heath and Henry’s games. He would be completely focused on the play on the pitch. He would walk up and down the sidelines as the ball moved, dodging and hopping and mimicking little kicks of the ball just like the kids on the field. Oftentimes, he would forget to watch where he was walking and would bump into people.”

Giesel spent the last weekend of his life alternating with his wife at his children’s

games, watching Heath’s Hoosier Futbol Club ’04 Wolves play at Grand Park in Westfield and Henry’s Hoosier FC ’02 Elite Wolves team play in a showcase in Cincinnati. While watching Henry’s game April 25, Giesel’s big heart stopped at age 58.

“Watching Heath and Henry play soccer was his joy, and it is in some way fitting that he took his last breath on the sidelines of the pitch,” Mary said. “We love him and we miss him already, but there is no doubt in our minds that he will continue to be present at every game Heath and Henry

play.”

That support was felt by his children’s teammates as well. Alana Oehler’s son, Dalton Grubbs, has been close with Henry since third grade. The seniors are teammates on the Hoosier FC ’02 Elite Wolves team and played together on Carmel High School’s team.

“Rick was a father to many. Pretty much all these boys on the ’02 team consider him a dad,” Oehler said. “The soccer community has lost someone dear.”

A GoFundMe set up to help the family set a goal of $35,000. As of May 7, it had already raised $39,062 to help the family pay for funeral and other expenses.

Heath is a CHS junior. Henry, a goalie, has committed to play for the Wabash College soccer team in the fall.

Giesel, an attorney with Liberty Mutual insurance, attended the University of Cincinnati and then graduated from the University of Louisville School of Law. To contribute to the GoFundMe campaign, visit gofund.me/71b1c2f5.

Bus driver piloted Air Force Two

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com It was May 1989 and new Vice President Dan Quayle and his family were aboard Air Force Two to fly home to EDUCATION Indiana to give a speech and attend the Indianapolis 500. The intercom crackled to life.

“It will be a beautiful day for a race,” the pilot said through the intercom. “And, Mr. vice president, both of your pilots are Hoosiers.”

The co-pilot was from Kokomo. The pilot, and the voice on the intercom, was Jim White of Fishers, a Lafayette native who is spending part of his retirement driving a school bus for Carmel Clay Schools.

White, 70, is the type of guy who does not bask in the afterglow of a career that included flying two future presidents aboard Air Force Two after 20 years as a pilot in the Air Force that took him all across Europe and Southeast Asia, flying transports during the Vietnam War, flying supersonic in a T-38 and winning a professor of the year award while teaching aviation students for several years at his alma mater, Purdue University.

Instead, he’s the type of person who arrives at work at 6:30 a.m. and drives whatever bus needs driven. The aviator is now a substitute bus driver.

“When I’m driving, it brings back memories,” White said. “You’re in the cockpit and throwing switches, and then you’re picking up young kids. It’s fun.”

In White’s view, the job is not all that dissimilar to flying a McDonnell Douglas DC-9.

It is the same principal: Get everyone home safe and on schedule.

Very important passengers As an Air Force pilot, White wanted to scale back from the lengthy flights that took three days of recovery. So, in the mid1980s he took a job at Andrews Air Force base in Washington, D.C., to fly presidential support.

White flew a DC-9, and his passengers included members of Congress, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretaries of defense and state. White flew former first lady Nancy Reagan, too. She was a white-knuckled flier, White said. He would mostly talk with her about the weather to calm her.

On Air Force Two, then-Vice President George H.W. Bush was his main passenger, followed by Quayle when he eventually became Bush’s vice president. When Bush flew on Air Force Two as Ronald Reagan’s vice president, he would occasionally come

up to the cockpit and visit. “(Bush) had a good sense of humor, so we could joke around with him,” White said.

From 1986 to 1991, White flew the second-most powerful man in the U.S. across the nation before moving on. For a couple years, he directed the U.S. operation moving Army tactical nuclear weapons out of Europe. Then the Air Force wanted to assign him to a post in Turkey, but he declined because he wanted to stay stateside. He soon retired and returned home to Indiana.

Transitioning to civilian life For a time, White taught at Purdue, but eventually he landed a transportation director position at Hamilton Southeastern Schools.

For 15 years he directed the bus operations, making sure that they safely got where they needed to go and did so on time. Occasionally, he drove a bus when needed. His wife, Ann, was happy to have him at home at night but eventually the demands of the position wore on him and he was ready for something else.

“It was a 24/7 job for the most part,” White said. “I was pretty hands on. I’ve always been, so it took a lot of my time, and I wanted to relax and do something different.”

Something like driving a bus for Carmel schools.

White wasn’t looking for a full-time job but offered to be a substitute bus driver.

And for three years that is what he has done almost every morning. But sometimes, while shuttling children to school, the present and past blur and memories flood back.

“Sometimes my flying comes to mind,” he said. “As many years that I flew in different types of airplanes, there is no better feeling than to be sitting at the end of the runway, release the brakes and push the power up to take off. I miss that.”

The purpose of American public schools is to promote intellectual development and civic responsibility in our children. Schools best achieve these goals by focusing primarily on providing an outstanding education, instilling allegiance to American ideals, and respecting parents as the final arbiter of their children’s values.

So why is our Carmel school leadership stealthily promoting Critical Race Theory through cleverly branded concepts like “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” “systemic racism,” “microaggressions,” or “implicit bias”?

Critical Race Theory weakens our schools and community by: • Undermining educational excellence • Eroding love of community and country • Promoting divisive ideologies among students, parents, and teachers • Subverting parental authority • Betraying the American ideals of equality and civil dissent Our mission is to restore academic excellence and accountability through transparency and parental control of our schools.

We CAN achieve these goals and promote mutual respect and unity in Carmel schools, but we need you!

‘Curveball’ doesn’t stop young Eagle Scout

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jared Washburn put himself on a timetable to become an Eagle Scout.

“By Jared’s 11th birthday, he had earned his Arrow of Light ACHEIVEMENT award and was getting ready to move into Boy Scouts. He was looking forward to working with the Troop 576 Scoutmaster, his dad, and all the other boys he had known from Cub Scouts,” said Lisa Washburn, his mother. “Then, life thew a curveball.”

Carmel’s Troop 576 had been chartered through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the church Jared’s family attends. But just as Jared became eligible to enroll, the worldwide church announced in 2018 that it was ending its century-old relationship with Boy Scouts of America. As of Jan. 1, 2020, Troop 576 would be disbanded.

Jared had 18 months to complete his Eagle Scout requirements.

“With the help of many leaders and coaches, and especially his Scoutmaster dad, he earned his merit badges, filled leadership roles and spent over 20 nights camp-

ing,” Lisa said.

In November 2019, Jared completed his Eagle Project alongside 20 of his Scouting friends. The group installed a 16-foot shade sail at Edison School of the Arts in India-

napolis. The sail provides protection for the school’s chicken coop as well as shade for children during recess.

With his project complete, Jared joined Troop 132 in Carmel.

“With their help, he completed his final eight days of leadership service and began the process of submitting his paperwork to the district,” Lisa said.

Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020. Despite some delays, Jared, now 13, passed his board of review Feb. 4. He received his Eagle badge May 1 at the Court of Honor ceremony at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Carmel.

Jared, an eighth-grade student at Carmel Middle School, was nearly done with everything at 12 1/2 years old, but changing troops and the pandemic slowed the process. He said the experience provided lessons in patience and flexibility.

“I had to get my information like merit badges, dates of my board of reviews for previous ranks and personal information switched over, and it was really stretched out, because the coronavirus stopped in-person meetings, therefore slowing communications a lot,” Jared said.

Environmental efforts honored

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Miranda Frausto has always been compelled to work on climate change and environmental issues.

ACHIEVEMENT “People in my generation have never lived in a time when the climate crisis, and other environmental issues, were not urgent and pressing matters,” Frausto said.

“It wasn’t until high school where I learned how to take my passion beyond my individual choices and demand action. That’s Frausto when I started with the Carmel Promise Project, where we worked with Carmel elected officials to pass the Climate Resilience and Recovery Resolution (in 2017).”

That was the state’s first youth-led climate resolution.

The 2017 Carmel High School graduate worked with Carmel Green Initiative President Leslie Webb on the Promise Project, a youth-led organization. Frausto and Webb

have been named Hoosier Resilience Heroes by the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University, which described the recognition as being for their work ensuring a safe, healthy environment for their families, their neighbors and future generations.

Frausto is being recognized for her climate advocacy, assisting the City of Carmel government in its climate work and food waste reduction and food recovery operations while at IUPUI. She will graduate this month with a degree in sustainable management and policy.

Webb, who founded Carmel Green Initiative in Webb 2008, is being recognized for her work on multiple green initiatives in Carmel through the course of 15 years.

“We’re passionate about sustainable living because clean air and water, thriving ecosystems and a stable climate boil down to protecting our health, our communities and meeting our moral obligation to protect the quality of life for our kids and grandkids,” Webb said.

CHS grad aims to create more diversity in fishing, outdoor spheres

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

• Career plans: Become a marine biologist • High school basketball career: As a 6-foot senior guard, Gill was a starter on Carmel High School’s Class 4A state runner-up team in 2018.

• College basketball career: Averaged 17.6 minutes in 32 games as a freshman in 2018-19. Played in six games in 2019-20 before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Averaged 4.8 points in the 2020-21 season as a redshirt sophomore. Has two years of eligibility remaining.

Throughout his life, Eddie Gill IV has encountered people who find his passion for fishing unusual.

“Oftentimes, growing up I’ve gotten some strange looks and comments from people who see me fishing or see me out in nature doing what I love to do,” said Gill, who is African American. “Even when I tell people this is where my passion lies, I get looks and comments.”

Gill, a 2018 Carmel High School graduate, has launched Journey for a Cause, a mission to promote a more diverse and inclusive space within the boating and fishing communities.

“I want to create accessibility for people that have never had the chance to get into fishing or boating,” said Gill, son of former Indiana Pacers player Eddie Gill. “I want to get that in front of people that have never had that experience.

For me, it’s such a peaceful thing for me to do, coming out by myself fishing, whether it’s a boat or bank. The mental health aspect is huge for me, and I think that can be a tool for so many other people, young or old or somewhere in between.”

A junior environmental studies major and basketball player at Grace College, Gill recently secured a $137,000 boat sponsorship with Parker Boats for a 10-day, 700-mile trip from Evansville to Navarre Beach, Fla. Gill and two friends will begin the journey June 1 in a Parker 2520 XLD boat. They plan to log between 20 and 120 miles per day.

Gill said he is incredibly grateful for Parker Boats’ sponsorship and its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the boating industry and outdoor sports.

The fundraising goal for the trip is $20,000. All donations exceeding the costs for the journey, fuel, dockage, lodging, community engagement and incidentals will be given to various nonprofit organizations.

“That might be getting fishing gear for kids at these stops,” he said.

Gill cites a National Geographic article that “communities of color are three times more likely than white communities to live in nature-deprived places.”

This disparity is what compels Gill to take the journey in June. He will be joined on the journey by two of his childhood fishing buddies, Justin Shupe and Clay Wright.

Wright, a junior at Vanderbilt University, grew up in Carmel and graduated from Cathedral High School. Shupe, a Pendleton Heights High School graduate, attends Ball State University.

“Eddie and I went to elementary and middle school (at Sycamore School) together. We were playing basketball and we met Justin through a travel basketball team,” Wright said. “We started hanging out outside basketball and found we shared a common interest in fishing and outdoors. We’d stay at each other’s house and in the wee hours of the morning go fishing together. We all have an interest, but I’d

say Eddie is the most passionate.”

A fishing journey like the one planned is something the three friends have discussed for several years.

“This has been a dream of ours for a while,” said Wright, whose mother is Taiwanese. “This would give us lifelong memories, and Eddie had the idea to not only make it fun but worthwhile.”

Gill learned to fish from his maternal grandfather, Gary Vipperman, who lives in Whitestown.

“He was my inspiration,” said Gill, who said he usually is a catch-and-release fisherman. “I got into it because of him and really from 3 years old. He has been a great role model for me. I’m so thankful he introduced me to this at a young age. Fishing and boating (are) such a big part of my life and

has brought me so much happiness.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Web of lies

Home is where the stress is

Commentary by Terry Anker About six months into the COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us came to know that we needed another, perhaps larger, pair of sweatpants. While our lungs remained gratefully clear, our arteries were filling with too many snacks and too little movement. With stores closed, we either had to Zoom with no pants or order online. For most of us, anyway, we clicked.

There are scores of options out there promising the sublime and the ridiculous. Eventually, we make our choice and advance to check out. The sites then turn from smiling sales clerk to more ominous back-office sweatshop.

“Give us your personal information!

Give us your financial information! Give us your permission for an endless parade of spam from us and anyone who will pay us to direct their harangue at you! Sure, we’ll say that we value your privacy and care deeply about you. But in the fine print, oh, the fine print, we may conceal a bit.”

Once someone decides that we have “opted in,” is there any limit to that license? It is a slippery slope. We should not have peered into the internet abyss.

But now we have, and can no more stop, the marketing deluge than we can get the excess super glue from our fingers. We try to unsubscribe. Seemingly, it only makes it worse. We plead to talk to a person. The automated attendant disconnects. We are promised that we’ve been removed. They lie.

Once they have us, will they ever let go? The sweatpants are nice, but the end of the lockdown has paused the ballooning waistline. New sweats are not required. Still, there are fresh messages every day — often two. Specials, sales, colors, comments on social issues, financing options and reminders of past purchases. Stop! Maybe pant-less was a better option.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

— THEODORE ROOSEVELT

POLICIES Letters to the editor: Current Publishing will consider verifiable letters of up to 150 words.

Letters must be thoroughly vetted prior to submission. Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content. Current also retains the right to edit letters, but not their intent. Send letters to info@youarecurrent.com. Writers must include a hometown and a daytime phone number for verification. Guest columns: The policy for guest columns is the same as the aforementioned, but the allowable length is 240 words.

Guest columns should address the whole of Current’s readership, not simply special-interest groups, and may not in any way contain a commercial message.

It has begun. The mass emigration from college campuses to homes of origin is in full swing, friends, and I, for one, am not looking forward to its completion.

For context, Doo and I have four children, three of whom are “livin’ the dream” as coeds in dorms or apartments. We’ve basically spent the past year flirting with an attractive empty nest that promises endless quiet, clean countertops and small Meijer bills. Sure, we still have our youngest around, but she’s the consummate teenager, appearing at mealtime and the occasional holiday party. Her existence here is literally only evidenced by drying leggings in the laundry room and her stupid healthy foods. I exercise for Twinkies, people, not soy-based, protein-enriched nut bread.

But I digress. The point is, the domestic sanctuary I’ve recently started enjoying is about to be overrun by a bunch of loud-mouthed, newly opinionated, incessantly hungry, “independent” young adults who are thrilled to be once again on the dole. We will go from an easy, family of 2 1/2 to a terrifying mosh pit of six. Empty bedrooms will become war zones, the driveway a mine field, and the kitchen, a 24-hour mess hall barely operating because of low rations, a broken dishwasher and ever-flowing trash cans. Am I mixing my metaphors?

Of course I am! The impending onslaught has me discombobulated enough to compare their homecoming to both a Metallica concert and an armed conflict.

All right, all right. Before you go bashing my lack of maternal affection, know that I love my kids dearly. I simply love them more now that they live away. So, wish me luck, for it has begun.

Peace out.

Time to get to work Commentary by Jason Peek What happened to the people who barreled through life, no matter what? Where are the thick-skinned, two middle-finger-inSHOP TALK the-air-types?

Everybody is crying about jobs, pay, race, working, COVID-19, the government and their hurt feelings and expecting the world to come to the rescue.

Surprise! Nobody’s coming. This nation was founded on guts, work, love of family and country and barreling through the hard times, not sitting around and complaining and waiting for someone else to save you from your tears.

Life is a constant fight, so get out of bed and put your dukes up and get ready to battle every day. You want a living? Work and earn it. You simply want people to care?

Then you’d best care about people. You want life to be easy? Good luck with that.

It’s not going to happen. You want the government to save you? Enjoy your temporary false sense of security.

While you sit at home expecting life on a silver platter, your community crumbles

around you. Without business, employees, free thinkers, hard work, treating others like you want to be treated and fearless people who would rather die living than live dying, well, we fail. Without students pursuing the trades, we fail. Not wanting to work hard to earn what you want, we fail. Crying about people hurting your feelings and not acting the way you want them to act, we fail. The list goes on.

Do you have the guts to fight, work and live the way you want? Or do you curl up in a corner and cry and die slowly? Look in the mirror and decide who you are and who you want to be, because nobody else cares unless you make them care by example. Get to work! And be proud until you’re tired and in pain from busting your rump.

Don’t like my attitude? I’m at 41 W. Main St. in Carmel. Come say “hi.” Buck up, honey.

READERS’ VIEWS

Carmel needs DEI officer Editor, I read what happened at the recent school board meeting. I want to express that Carmel needs diversity, equity and inclusion work in order to make its school system truly be on par with the quality of other Carmel city features.

DEI in education simply means that schools provide all students the support and resources they need to reach their fullest potential. It’s all about the students, not about Carmel filling quotas or just following some politically motivated actions because it is fashionable. This is real work. A focus on racial, economic and gender gaps in academic performance, for instance, might reveal how school policies perpetuate those disparities.

This is hard work. It’s unsettling for school staff and some members of the community to hear that their own beliefs and practices are contributing to the gap in achievement between white and affluent students and students who are Black, Hispanic, or from low-income backgrounds. It is upsetting to see that children from low-income families are less likely to be identified

for gifted education compared to wealthier peers, even when they demonstrate the same achievement.

This is comprehensive work. DEI applies to the gamut of societal factors at play in a school district: race, gender, class issues, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, mental health, disability/special needs, women’s/girls’ issues, religion and beliefs, family status, national original, home language, immigration status, weight and other physical attributes. Attention must be paid to all adults who routinely come in contact with our children in school, not just the teachers. This includes administrators, school board members, curriculum specialists, food service workers, custodial staff and bus drivers, to name a few.

This work will probably not end any time soon. Racist, sexist, religious and other discriminatory policies and behaviors have existed for centuries. We won’t change overnight. This work is a journey, but one that welcomes everyone to join in life-affirming activities and programs along the way to benefit all of our Carmel students.

Editor, I attended and also spoke at the April 26 Carmel school board meeting regarding the diversity, equity and inclusion program being promoted by CCS. It is interesting that some 150 parents, with only one day’s notice to attend the meeting, showed up.

The school board itself seemed surprised that so many parents would come, which signals to me that they might be just a bit out of touch with their constituents, who were apparently also so misinformed as to the content of the proposed DEI curriculum.

I found it comforting to hear from CCS DEI Officer Terri Roberts-Leonard that “…she believes most of the concerns presented at the meeting were based on misinformation.”

Whew! I’m so glad Carmel is different, because I have yet to find a DEI curriculum online or anywhere else that does not promote the very things Carmel parents expressed that they are concerned about.

Not one parent refuted the value of diversity, fairness or even inclusion in general.

What 8 out of 10 parents said is that parents are the primary sources of those values. Certainly, schools have a responsibility

to practically execute diversity, equity and inclusion. No one should be made by school officials to feel less than anyone else.

“The good thing about this evening was that most of what people were upset about is not true, so once we can get the truth out there, maybe some of that rage will subside,” Roberts-Leonard said.

I did not see rage — an interesting word choice — but I did see three or four parents who were upset. One woman detailed how her daughter was targeted by thousands of haters for not wanting to go into a bathroom with a transgender boy. Her daughter now gets hate mail from around the country, yet no one is protesting, raising flags or organizing to protect her rights. Diversity apparently does not include this girl.

What we don’t want to see with DEI is the onward march of this social vengeance, which comes from angry people with no other goal than to tear down others in order to make themselves feel better. That is a no-win game for everyone.

On the corner of Michigan & 146th

Four years ago, Jacob Wittman was nearing graduation from high school with a dream of becoming a chef.

NEW BIZ With a passion for culinary arts and a discerning palate, Wittman had difficulty finding and keeping a job in a kitchen because he has autism. Like many others on the autism spectrum, Wittman’s ability to focus on detail and follow a process is extraordinary, but his verbal ability is limited.

Jacob’s mother, Shelly Henley, did not want to see her son’s passion and ability go to waste in a dish room, which inspired her to found No Label at the Table, a bakery that employs people on the autism spectrum. After beginning with only a handful of employees selling baked goods at farmers markets, No Label at the Table has found success with a shop at 111 W. Main St., Suite 145, and employs 20 people on the autism spectrum.

“There was a need for the bakery because 75 percent of people on the autistic spectrum have no plans after aging out of school,” Shelly said. “Creating positions for those on the autistic spectrum was necessary because even most college graduates cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate is 85 percent as compared to the national unemployment rate of 4.5 percent.”

As the business has grown, so has the desire to expand opportunities available for

adults with autism. The founders recently launched a second company, Pure Prairie Organics, which is an organic lawn care company. Two employees from the bakery have joined the sister company to provide system support and back-office work.

Henley’s husband, Jeff Wittman, assisted with launching the second company.

“My husband retired in January. He has been a part of everything we do at No Label at the Table,” Henley said. “For the last four years, he watched our family transform because of purposeful work. He was eager to begin a second career that had a purpose.

We both knew we needed to start another program that was service driven.”

Henley said organic lawn care is healthy, safe and environmentally friendly. Services provided are fertilization, liquid aeration and seeding. Learn more at ppoindiana.com.

DC Tux thrives on family values

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Kim Hamather said her father, Pete Corbett, was always in the tuxedo business, and she’s never seen somePROFILE one love their job more than he did.

“My parents moved up to Carmel in 1977,” Hamather said. “They opened a bridal and tux shop.”

In the 1980s, Hamather’s brother, Don Corbett, who owned a company called DC Designers Tux Shop, partnered with their father, Pete Corbett, to go into business with DC Tux. In 2000, the Corbetts sold the bridal shop but kept DC Tux open.

The shop was originally at 116th Street and Keystone Ave., and a second location opened at 136th Street and Meridian Street in 1992. When the bridal shop closed, the Corbetts closed the 136th Street store and remained at 116th Street until 2012, when they moved to 2780 E. 146th St., Carmel.

They also have had stores in Broad Ripple and Castleton through the years.

tory,” said Hamather, a Carmel resident.

“My dad’s brother had a tuxedo wholesale business, and so my dad saw the value in having his own inventory. So, he started buying his own inventory, and we have more than 2,000 tuxes in our store. It takes all the stress out.”

Pete Corbett died in August 2020.

Last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the only business DC Tux saw were weddings. Now, there are weddings and some proms, but Hamather said one type of event that hasn’t returned is black-tie affairs.

May is National Osteoporosis Month. Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones lose more calcium than they PODIATRY absorb. Most people develop this condition after turning 50, but the disease can strike at an earlier age. Women have a higher risk for osteoporosis than men.

Osteoporosis and your feet Osteoporosis makes bones weak and breakable. In fact, even stubbing your toe or coughing too hard could cause a fracture when you have osteoporosis. Because the feet have to handle your full body weight, foot and ankle bones are at high risk for fracture with osteoporosis. In addition to fractures, osteoporosis can cause top of foot bone pain and tenderness or red, swollen feet (which could actually be a sign of a small fracture).

Podiatrists are often the ones to diagnose osteoporosis, since the disease can cause small fractures from something as simple as walking.

Preventing and treating osteoporosis Some of the best ways to prevent and

slow the progression osteoporosis include: • Get lots of calcium in your teens, 20s and beyond. Your diet also must include vitamin D, to help bones absorb calcium.

• Steer clear of foods with too much sodium or phosphoric acid (sodas are a major source of this bad acid), as these items can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb calcium.

• Engage in strength training. By adding resistance or weights to workouts, bone density increases, which reduces the risk for weaker bones later in life.

• Quit smoking. Smoking ups the risk for bone loss and osteoporosis.

• Drink alcohol in moderation. Too much alcohol can harm your bones.

• If you have a family history of bone loss, or if you’ve been through menopause, make sure bone density checks are part of your annual physical.

Recognize and prevent a stroke Commentary by Nihal Bakeer Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability and the fifth-leading cause of death in the AWARENESS U.S. With May being Stroke Awareness Month, everyone should learn the signs, symptoms and ways to prevent a dangerous and potentially deadly stroke.

Spotting stroke Strokes in children are rare, but they can and do happen. Recognizing strokes in children and adults could save a life.

Use the B.E.F.A.S.T. acronym to identify signs of stroke and know when to call 911: • Balance: Is the person losing coordination or balance? Is he or she having trouble walking?

• Eyes: Is the person having trouble seeing out of one or both eyes?

• Face: If the person feels one side of the face is droopy or numb, ask for a smile. Does one side of the face droop?

Is a smile lopsided or uneven?

• Arm: If the person says one arm is weak or numb, ask him or her to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down?

• Speech: If speech is slurred, ask the person to repeat a sentence. Are the words slurred? Is the person having trouble getting words out or understanding?

• Time to Call 911: If you recognize any of these symptoms, call 911 and get the person to the hospital as soon as possible.

It is important to get immediate medical attention. Brain cells may be dying!

Preventing stroke The American Stroke Association (stroke. org) has a list of risk factors you can control, treat and improve to help reduce your risk for stroke. At the top of the list are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, diet, physical inactivity and obesity.

If you check off any of these top contributing stroke risk factors, schedule a physical with your primary health care provider to discuss your concerns and develop a plan for a healthier you.

Manchester to perform hit songs in concert with Feinstein

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Melissa Manchester has been performing for more than 50 years, so the COVID-19 pandemic halting perforCONCERT mances in March 2020 has been difficult.

“I think like various people I went through stages of experiencing this tremendous shutdown of our society,” said Manchester, who is based in Los Angeles.

“I was thrown into an abrupt retirement, so to speak. I had to deal with the grief.

The struggle was to stay present and not deal with the past or future and just take each day at a time.”

It helped that the singer/songwriter had a 24th album to work on called “Re:View,” which features fresh takes on several of her classic songs and some previously unreleased songs.

The album is expected to introduce a new audience to her big hits and help regain streaming rights by re-recording her songs.

“Because we are in precarious times, there was an opportunity to roll this out slowly, one a month,” Manchester said. “In order to do that effectively, we’ve come out with a video per song. We’ve been doing that since last September. We’ll continue on it until we have an album.”

Manchester, 70, will make her first live performance since the pandemic hit along with Michael Feinstein at 3 and 8 p.m. May 15 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Tickets are sold out for the evening show, but a livestream is available. Feinstein and Manchester were originally supposed to perform together in the spring of 2020 before the pandemic.

“I’m very cautiously optimistic,” Manchester said. “I love my dear friend Michael Feinstein. Michael and I have performed together many times. It’s wonderful when Michael and I share the stage. We do sing some songs together and that’s very lovely.”

Manchester visited the Palladium to

teach at the Songbook Academy. This will be her first concert at the Palladium.

“The hall is as beautiful as can be,” she said.

Manchester became the first recording artist in the history of the Academy Awards to have two nominated movie themes in a single year, “Through The Eyes Of Love” from “Ice Castles” and “I’ll Never Say Goodbye” from “The Promise,” and to perform both songs on the Oscar telecast.

Nominated for a Grammy in 1980 for “Don’t Cry Out Loud,” she won the Grammy Award for best female vocalist in 1982 with “You Should Hear How She Talks About You.” Manchester also co-wrote the radio mainstays “Midnight Blue,” “Come In From The Rain” and “Whenever I Call You Friend.”

“I feel very grateful that I’ve grown into these songs,” she said. “They’ve become living monologues for me, and I never get bored singing them. For the ones I’ve written, I’m amazed I knew so much because it’s such a long time ago. It’s a privilege to see how much they’ve meant to the audience and they were so much the musical

landscapes of my fans. It’s very touching.”

Manchester said the video for “Midnight Blue” is a “musical conversation of present me and older clips of when I was first performing it in the 1970s.”

Manchester has acted at times throughout her career. In 1993-94, she acted in 10 episodes of “Blossom” as Blossom’s mother.

“Acting is not something I really pursued,” she said. “I had to replace Bernadette Peters for the national tour of ’Song and Dance.’ I had done a piece of the tour on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Music of the Night.’ I could have pursued that more, but my track was really to be a concert performer and songwriter.”

Manchester composed music for the animated features “The Great Mouse Detective” and “Lady And The Tramp II,” the sequel to the Disney classic. She also composed the scores for the theatrical musicals “I Sent A Letter To My Love” and “Sweet Potato Queens.”

Nathan Koon, Jack Sullivan and Cara Nowlin are the CHS students. They are joined by Carmel resident Piper Murphy, who attends Park Tudor School. Lily Cross and Jilayne Kistner are the ZCHS students.

The other Indiana finalists are Annie Flowers, Indianapolis; Jonathan Grimes, Avon; and Camden Zetty, Avon.

Now in its 12th year, the Songbook Academy is the nation’s leading youth music intensive focused on timeless standards from the worlds of jazz, Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley. Typically offered on-site

at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, where the Songbook Foundation is headquartered, the program is again shifting to a virtual format in response to the logistical and safety issues posed by the ongoing pandemic.

Still, during the week of July 17-24, the 40 finalists will receive professional vocal training and performance coaching and participate in workshops, daily social activities and educational masterclasses with a team of mentors led by five-time Grammy Award nominee and Songbook Foundation Founder Michael Feinstein.

“There is no reason to expose our finalists or others to any health risk when the virtual format has already proven successful and meaningful to students across the country,” Songbook Foundation Executive Director Christopher Lewis stated. “We look forward to making a difference in the lives of these young artists in creative, safe and accessible ways that preserve the quality, the camaraderie and the personalized nature of the experience.”

A love story on and off the stage

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com “Silent Sky” is the true story of female astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, a pioneer in the early 1900s.

At its heart, it’s also a love THEATER story.

That makes the role of playing Henrietta easier for Dani Gibbs as her husband, Nick Gibbs, plays her love interest, Peter Shaw.

“There is a lot of trust there already,” Dani said. “We really can focus on the lines and what is going on in the scenes instead of worrying what he is thinking.”

The Carmel couple are performing in “Silent Sky” at Westfield Playhouse, 220 N. Union St. The final performances are at 7:30 p.m May 13-15 and 2:30 p.m. May 16.

“We can definitely anticipate each other (on stage),” Nick said.

The couple, who married in January 2020, met while playing opposite each other in a play at Hillsdale (Mich.) College. This is the first time they have acted together since then.

Dani said she researched the show when

a different theater was staging it.

“I read through it and fallen in love with the idea of it,” Dani said. “The playwright (Lauren Gunderson) is fantastic. I’ve enjoyed some of her other works. I’m not a mathematician or anything, but I’ve always enjoyed space and stars.”

Nick was cast in “A Few Good Men” at Civic Theatre on March 13, 2020, when the play was shut down a few hours before opening night because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show has been rescheduled to start at the same time this month, but Nick opted to act with his wife.

During his time with the Coast Guard, he served as a Special Operator in the Deployable Specialized Forces and then a private government contractor all over the world.

Backyard orchestra teaches virtual students

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Carmel resident Li Li realized that Carmel Clay Schools students who opted for the virtual classroom option were unable to attend orchestra, she created a MUSIC solution.

Li, a violist for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and her husband, Joel Smirnoff, who also is a musician and teaches violin at the Juilliard School in New York, decided to give the virtual students an option to practice playing their instruments and created the backyard orchestra.

“Only hybrid (students) could do the orchestra at school,” Li said. “My son actually is in sixth grade right now, and this whole sixth grade year was supposed to be the first year they picked up an instrument and played in orchestra, but he’s been virtual, so he’s never had the opportunity to do that. I thought there are a lot of kids like him.”

Li said her backyard is flat, and she thought she could set up chairs and teach

students how to play their instruments.

The program started in summer 2020, and Li is continuing it this spring.

“We did quite a few pieces mixed with classical and ‘Star Wars’ and all that,” Li said. “It was really important for the kids to have this social event, and they all loved it.”

Practices began last month. Seventeen students participate in the backyard orchestra. They meet for eight to nine sessions once a week and then perform.

Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ, a food truck

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Locations change weekly What to get: Smoked brisket Price: $10 Anna’s take: Gocki’s Smokin BBQ started 10-plus years ago, when pit master Scott Wilgocki taught himself how to barbeque and began smoking meat as a hobby. Until October 2019, Wilgocki worked in the corporate world but had been told he should pursue barbecue full time for years. In fall 2019, Wilgocki followed the advice and launched Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ, a food truck.

I am a huge smoked brisket fan, and that’s what I suggest you order ($10), with a side of smoked mac and cheese ($3) and green beans ($3), cooked with bacon and onions.

Wilgocki’s offerings remind me of family gatherings with delicious, home-cooked food. It brings a whole new meaning to the

term “comfort food” when you visit a food truck and order a side of green beans that smell just like the ones my grandma makes.

My other favorite part about Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ is the four homemade sauces, ranging from no heat to sriracha-level heat. Wilgocki offers pickles and jalapeños to customize orders, and I was overall very impressed with his ability to cook (smoke) up a good meal. Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ motors around Hamilton County and surrounding areas and often sets up in neighborhoods. So, be sure to follow Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ on Facebook.

Behind bars: Auntie Vackser Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 oz. limoncello, .75 oz. banana-papaya-clove simple syrup, .5 oz. lemon juice, .25 oz. honey shrub, 2 dashes black walnut bitters Directions: Shake ingredients, serve in a chilled coupe glass and garnish with clove-studded lemon swath.

A complete bathroom transformation Commentary by Bill Bernard

Complete bathroom transformation. (Submitted photo)

Tom Roush Mazda Your Local Dealer Since 1972 Dealer Since 1972 Your Your Local Local Dealer Since 1972

Recently, we offered a sneak peak of the bathroom we remodeled in the Saint Margaret’s REMODELING Hospital Guild Decorators’ Show House.

We thought you might like to see a little more of the transformation.

In an effort to support the homeowners’ request to respect the design heritage of the home, we created a material palette that simultaneously pays homage to the home’s past while bringing the design aesthetic into the 21st century.

Here are a few of the inspired and subtle design details: • The polished nickel finish on the cylindrical decorative light fixtures coupled with the stained wood circular mirror are an on-trend interpretation of a traditional detail that keeps the look of the room from being trendy.

• The shape of the decorative cabinet hardware is reflective of the chamfered-edge rectangular sub-

way tile behind the vanity, and its design harkens back to the home’s design origins.

• The manufacturer intended for the patterned tile to be installed horizontally and vertically. We intentionally chose to shift the installation to a 45-degree angle in order to create a more traditional lattice look that relates to design elements within the room and throughout the rest of the house.

• The decision to extend the wall tile beyond the shower enclosure lends a unifying and tranquil feel to the room while also making the room feel larger.

We hope you had an opportunity to visit and be inspired by all the design talent on display at the Decorators’ Show Home.

Stay home, be moved.

Nonce upon a time Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Khan El-Khalili outdoor market in Cairo, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Exploring the Khan El-Khalili souk Commentary by Don Knebel A visit to a Middle Eastern outdoor market, called either a “souk” or “souq” (from Arabic) or a “bazaar” (from TRAVEL Persian), provides a sensory experience like few others. The oldest and one of the most famous souks is Cairo’s sprawling Khan El-Khalili, at the center of Islamic Cairo, between Al-Muizz Street and the important El-Hussein Mosque.

Khan El-Khalili is named for Jaharkas el-Khalili, a government official who established an open-air market in the area in the late 14th century. By the 15th century, the market had become an important center of international trade, including trade in slaves. Today, Khan El-Khalili is the most visited site in Egypt, attracting both locals and visitors from around the world.

The hundreds of stores and workshops attack all the senses, sometimes simultaneously. Bright colors can be found in the many shops selling clothing, including shops displaying lingerie, an unusual site in a predominantly Muslim nation. The aromas of freshly baked bread, burning incense

and tobacco smoke from hookahs are everywhere. Strong Turkish coffee and tasty Middle Eastern food are available in the many cafes and coffee shops, including the famous El Fishawi’s, established in 1773. The sense of touch can be threatened by the crowds of people walking along the narrow streets and rewarded by the feel of luxurious handmade rugs. Artisans, working on leather and precious metals, fill the air with sounds of hammers, and shop owners create a cacophony of many languages as they seek to entice foreign visitors to enter their tiny stores, where they may be more easily coaxed into buying something. On Fridays at about noon, sounds from the nearby El-Hussein Mosque call the faithful to prayers.

When you visit Cairo, make sure you spend a few hours in Khan El-Khalili. And make sure to take your haggling skills.

Have you ever heard or uttered a sentence and then thought, “I’ll bet no one’s ever said that before?” For instance, yesterday I was playing GRAMMAR GUY with my daughter, Maeve, who is 3 1/2. She has some stretchy, colorful toys called Monkey Noodles. Maeve has a vivid imagination, but I’ll spare the details of the game she invented only to say the game ended with me exclaiming, “We don’t put Monkey Noodles in our mouths after we bake them in our tummy ovens!”

I doubt the same words had ever been put together in the same order in the same sentence before, and I doubt they’ll ever need to be uttered again.

I think about these kinds of sentences all the time. Do you know that there’s a version of this “once-in-a-lifetime” occasion for standalone words? They’re called “nonce” words, or “occasionalisms.” Nonce words are born when one word gets invented and subsequently utilized one time for one occurrence in one work of writing.

These a la carte words are served up once

and then they’re done forever.

The word “nonce” means “for the once,” or “for one purpose.” Yes, back in the day, regular people knew what “nonce” meant.

James Murray, editor of the 1884 “New English Dictionary on Historical Principles” (which, in later editions, changed its title to the Oxford English Dictionary), coined the term “nonce-word.”

Lewis Carroll’s 1871 poem “Jabberwocky” includes several nonsensical words that — up until that point — hadn’t been invented, let alone used. The poem introduces us to one-time terms including “brillig,” “frabjous,” “frumious” and “manxome.”

While I wasn’t there when Carroll penned this work, which would later be included in “Through the Looking-Glass,” I doubt he intended these nonce words to exist outside the universe of Alice’s Wonderland.

DISPATCH Don’t charge phones in rental cars — Whether you booked a rental car for your vacation or are hailing a Lyft, it’s tempting to plug your dying phone into your rideshare or rental car’s USB port to charge. But charging your smartphone in a car that isn’t your own could be disastrous. Rental cars, like airports and train stations, are some of the places you should never charge your phone. You should never plug your phone into a public USB port, and that includes rental cars and essentially any cars that you don’t own.

Using that USB port can transfer information from your phone to the car, and the car can store private information from your phone.
