More pressure, less support exacts toll on coaches

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com It’s not a moment he’s proud of.

After yelling at a third-grader on his daughter’s basketball SPORTS team who made a mistake at the end of a close Carmel Pups game, Aaron Seitz knew something had to change.

“I looked in the mirror when I got home and said, Seitz ‘This was stupid. This is not what (sports) are about,’” said Seitz, who was coach of the team at the time. He saw in himself a dangerous mindset he believes is common among parents of young athletes, and he decided it was time to make a change.

Five years later, Seitz is founder of Competition Matters, an organization dedicated to improving the youth sports experience for players, coaches and parents by showing how being on a team can provide benefits in many areas of personal growth. A salesman by day, Seitz conducts workshops and training sessions and speaks on the topic.

Lately, it’s hit close to home. Seitz’s daughter is on the Carmel High School girls basketball team, and he said she is one of many players disappointed by the dismissal of coach Tod Windlan. One week after CHS Principal Thomas Harmas told parents Windlan would be the coach next season, Carmel Clay Schools administrators reversed the decision but released few details, citing it as a personnel matter.

Since then, several girls basketball players and their families sought to have Windlan reinstated. They spoke about a culture at CHS that’s unfriendly to coaches, pointing out that a former volleyball and baseball coach also were released with little information why.

Some indicated that a minority of upset parents had the power to force the dismissals, leading to heartbreak for many players and instability in the athletic programs.

CCS officials have been tight-lipped on specifics relating to the departures, but the situation does not appear to be unique to Carmel.

Changing times As commissioner of the Indiana High School

Athletic Association, Bobby Cox has seen coaches forced to deal with more demands and pressures than they did in years past.

“Our education-based athletic coaches are working in environments today which possess greater demands from parents across multiple considerations combined with less empathy and understanding of reality,” Cox said.

Cox believes parents “come by this honestly” as their children face more comCox petition as they move from youth sports into middle and high school.

“Parents experience difficulty in accepting their child is not one of the starters or significant contributors,” he said. “This is where conflict begins. Sometimes they manifest themselves in a criticism of the coach’s style, language, approach and/or philosophy.”

Dave Bolles, a Carmel resident who has daughters who compete in basketball and competitive cheerleading, said he believes some parents lose all sense of self-awareness while watching their children play sports. He said it can be difficult to listen to parents berate coaches, referees and players on both teams during a game.

“We had one set of parents who would sit on the opposite side of the gym, and forever I did not know why they did that, but now I do,” Bolles said. “They wanted to watch the game in peace.”

‘They really are trying their best’ With coaches being swamped with seemingly more pressure and less support, some wonder how many top candidates quit or avoid coaching altogether.

“Our young coaches begin their careers with a true belief they can make a positive difference in the lives of the students within their charge. Their enthusiasm and zeal is chipped away by overzealous parents that only are concerned with the promotion and attention directed at their children,” Cox said.

“As this trend continues, quality coaching will continue to suffer.”

Seitz said most of the coaches he’s worked with appear to be pursuing the job for the right reasons: Helping kids learn how to work hard and move on to become successful

Sweeney named basketball coach Carmel High School has named Kevin Sweeney as the next head coach of its girls basketball team.

Sweeney coached at Bishop Chatard High School from 2005-08 and 2012-15 and at Lawrence North from 2010-11.

He has an overall record of 166-75.

Sweeney The Carmel resident said the school’s top-rated educational program and high athletic standards attracted him to the program. He said he plans to quickly put together his staff and begin working with players.

“This will be a different-looking Carmel team. We lost over 43 points per game to graduation,” he said. “Roles will change, lineups will evolve and things will move forward.”

Sweeney replaces Tod Windlan, who was dismissed from the program April 20, one week after parents had been told he would be keep his job as head coach.

To move on, Sweeney said it’s important for everyone to unite around common goals.

“Unless you let go, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is behind us, you cannot move forward,” he said. “We have to have all parties involved in the program moving in the same direction to be successful.” adults. But at some point, the downsides of the job take their toll, he said.

“The majority of coaches are getting some of that joy taken away because they don’t get paid a lot for the type of complaints they have to handle and for the expectations put on coaches that just aren’t realistic,” Seitz said.

“I think parents need to understand coaches have their hearts in the right place and they really are trying their best.”

Vandals damage park bathrooms

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Director Mark Westermeier said the department has been proactive about tackling CCPR a growing amount of graffiti in area parks.

“While the amount of vandalism is minimal compared to other parks systems, we have seen more cases and we try to repair any damage quickly so it deters any future vandalism,” he said.

Last year, Westermeier said someone set a fire in the restroom at West Park, so CCPR installed security cameras in park restrooms to catch future vandals. Cameras were installed during the week leading up to Memorial Day. But before the installation could be complete and the recording equipment went live, vandals caused considerable damage to the restroom at the playground at Central Park West Commons at 920 Central Park Drive West.

Sinks were pulled off walls, causing broken pipes to spray water. Mirrors were smashed, leaving broken glass on the floor. Soap dispensers and changing stations were destroyed. Sharpie marks were scrawled on the walls. Toilet paper was re-

moved and thrown around the playground.

Both bathrooms were affected. There was a temporary closure on May 29 as park crews cleaned up the damage.

Additional repairs will be needed but costs aren’t yet finalized.

Westermeier said it’s unknown if insurance will cover the damage.

Michael Klitzing, CCPR chief operating officer, encourages Carmel residents to help keep an eye on public areas and report suspicious activity.

“It is disappointing to see the lack of respect for public property or for the children for whom the space is intended,” he said.

CCS likely to drop early entrance waiver

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As incoming kindergarteners register for their first year at Carmel Clay Schools, some students may not be able EDUCATION to start as early they once thought.

State law has long required that students be 5 years old by Aug. 1 to enroll in kindergarten, but CCS offered an early entrance waiver that allowed students to enroll if they turned 5 by Sept. 1. That will likely change.

“Legislators passed a law that districts would not receive funding for students unless the student was 5 by Aug. 1,” Co-Interim Supt. Amy Dudley said. “Because of this, CCS can no longer have an early entrance waiver.”

The district had granted approximately 35 early entrance waivers per year.

The change states that students who are not 5 by Aug. 5 will not be included in the count that determines how much funding the state gives to each school district. CCS receives approximately $6,000 per student.

The district’s policy committee is expected to discuss the change.

Parents rally to keep school

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A recommendation by Camel Clay Schools interim Co-Supt. Roger McMichael to close Orchard Park Elementary EDUCATION and build a new school 5 miles northwest has parents rallying to save the school. A group of concerned parents met May 30 at Orchard Park Presbyterian Church.

The proposed site is at Clay Center Road, 5 miles from Orchard Park Elementary on the west side of town, which has had larger population growth in recent years.

Laura Moore, an advocate with the Orchard Park Elementary United, a coalition of parents, pointed out that the recommendation would leave the district without a school in the south central section of Carmel. Most OPE students would be sent to other elementary schools, not the new one.

The school board, which also is considering a recommendation to build a new Carmel Elementary School next to the current one, is scheduled to vote June 25.

“We’ve been diligently working on a factbased argument against closing Orchard Park,” Moore said.

OPE has 719 students and is at 95 percent

capacity.

“The school grew by more than any other Carmel Clay school this school year by 49 students,” Moore said.

Orchard Park is one of six schools up for renovations in the next 10 years.

Moore said a nine-page position statement has been sent to interim Co-Superintendents McMichael and Amy Dudley. In addition, a petition was signed by 600 people to keep Orchard Park Elementary where it is.

“It’s not over just because of the recommendation,” Moore said. “It’s time to voice your opinion to the school board before the next meeting.”

Students form human art piece

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com West Clay Elementary teacher Amy Bannister learned about Daniel Dancer’s Art For The Sky program at a conEDUCATION ference for art teachers last summer. “I knew we were slated to bring an artist-in-residence to the school this year, and I was looking for ideas,â€? Bannister said. “This was intriguing to me because it was so different and it was a chance for all of our students to collaborate on one major piece.â€?

So, she invited Dancer to bring the program to Carmel. Approximately 850 West Clay students, faculty and parent volunteers wearing various colors took part in the program May 22 at the Carmel school to create a wolf, West Clay’s mascot. The students spread out on the ground with materials to form a wolf captured in a photo taken from a camera in a fire truck crane.

Had Melinda Balchan not joined a sorority at Indiana University, she would never have become a globe-pedaling CYCLING bicyclist.

She’d likely still be a distance runner.

“I started cycling in college as a participant in the Little 500. I was in a sorority that competed in the Little 500 race,” Balchan said. “I was a runner prior to that, and my intention was to dabble in cycling so that I could start competing in triathlons.”

Suffice it to say, Balchan no longer dabbles in cycling. She lives it.

A 29-year-old Carmel resident, Balchan has spent the past three years bicycling across Europe, Asia and North America. She has logged more than 20,000 miles and is about to add 4,000 more, this time for a charitable cause.

Beginning June 7, Balchan will co-lead a team of 29 young adults on a cross-country cycling trek from Portsmouth, N.H. to Bellingham, Wash. The group is fundraising for Bike & Build, a national nonprofit that raises money and awareness for affordable housing.

Carmel resident Melinda Balchan, who will colead a cross-country charity bicycle ride this month, has spent the past three years cycling across Europe, Asia and North America. Here, she pauses during a ride in Kyrgyzstan. (Submitted photo).

“I’ve had a few friends participate in Bike & Build who have nothing but positive things to say about the organization,” said Balchan, who left a job with Dow Agrosciences in 2015 to pursue cycling. “It’s been something that’s been in the back of my mind for several years and is the first full summer that I’ve had in the United States since I first seriously considered doing a Bike & Build trip.

“As a seasoned solo cyclist, I’m picky about any organization with whom I would

want to lead a tour, and I’ve often joked that I’d never ride across the United States without a good reason.”

During the journey, Balchan and her team will participate in several volunteer “build days” with a dozen different housing organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together.

Although Bike & Build assists with much of the logistics for the 2 1/2-month trek, which concludes Aug. 24 in Bellingham, Balkan is attempting to fundraise at least $5,000 to support the trip. Anyone interested in donating can visit classy.org/ fundraiser/1264659 or mail a check to Bike & Build and write “Melinda Balchan” in the memo.

Riders on Balchan’s team range in age from 18 to 26. They expect to cover about 70 miles a day.

“As part of their commitment to Bike & Build, each cyclist and leader commits to fundraising at least $5,000 to support the work we’re doing on this trip,” Balchan said. “We work very hard to keep our costs low so that the bulk of this money can go directly to grants for affordable housing organizations in the communities that we’re biking through and volunteering with.”

The occasion marked the first time she attended the race.

“It was really fun to go to the race,” Rinkovsky said. “I had never experienced a race before. I felt like my essay really matched to what the racers might have been feeling.”

The Indianapolis 500 is more than a tradition in Indianapolis. It’s an experience.

Audrey Rinkovsky, ACHIEVEMENT a fourth-grader at Cherry Tree Elementary, was able to participate in the fanfare of this year’s IPL 500 Festival Parade and the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 after writing the winning essay for the 500 Festival Essay Contest.

“Each year there is a different category,” Rinkovsky said. “This year you had to write a 500-word essay about the 102nd running of the Indy 500, but as the pole racer. You had to describe the sounds and how you felt. I wrote that I was a rookie on the pole, and instead of the ladies and gentlemen start your engines being an exciting and happy time for the racer, I kind of did it more nerve-wracking and scared.”

She was alerted of her win by a special visitor at school May 21.

“The CEO of the 500 Festival came to my school and did a presentation, and that’s when I found out,” Rinkovsky said.

She won four tickets to the IPL 500 Fes-

Summer reading offers 2 options

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com The Summer Reading Challenge is back at the Carmel Clay Public Library. The program runs through Aug. 15 and ofLIBRARY fers two adventures.

Adventure A (activities) allows participants to not only read books but also try out several activities. Those involved will earn one badge for every 120 minutes read (up to eight badges) plus one badge for completing five activities (up to three badges).

“It is a program that we’ve done in the past, but we’ve kind of taken a new spin on the traditional summer reading programs that libraries have traditionally offered, which have always been very booked-based,” said Christy Walker, CCPL communications manager. “Over the last several years we’ve introduced an option where patrons who are participating in the program can certainly count reading for the program participation but they also have an option where they can incorporate learning activities.”

Adventure B (books) allows participants to earn one badge for each book of at least 100 pages (up to 11 badges).

This is more than a napkin.

“This year we’re expanding the program even further because we have had patrons over the years tell us they miss the program just being about books and reading,” Walker said.

Participants can use their badges to choose from various prizes. When they collect all 11 badges, they receive a free book.

“They’re earning points for digital badges,” Walker said. “Then they can come into the library and shop and redeem those badges for fun prizes.”

Individuals, families and groups are welcome to participate.

Bill Sr., 90, was a 1945 Indiana AllStar at Hope High School before playing at Butler. Bill Sr.’s youngest son, Steve, played on CHS’s first state basketball championship team as a sophomore in 1977 and played at the University of Indianapolis.

The Shepherds are the only family with three generations of Indiana AllStars. Billy Shepherd’s son, Scott, was a 1992 All-Star who played at Florida State. His youngest son, Jeff, played at CHS and scored more than 2,500 points at Huntington University.

David Shepherd played one season for Indiana University, Bob Knight’s first season as coach, before transferring to the University of Mississippi for his final two seasons.

OBSERVATION

Balancing act

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It is always something. At least, so goes the aphorism. Each new day presents its own challenges. And, each improvement brings with it requisite unintended consequences. On the tightrope walk of life, balance is achievable only for an instant. Even as we find ourselves stable and in perfect and sublime equilibrium, our weight shifts and we strain to find a steady footing again.

On the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the urban legend goes, one can stand an egg on its end. It is true but not then alone. Alas, as much as we might imagine that the shifting balance of Earth’s gravity or the ideal cleaving of hours of dark and light to bring magic to the ovoid breakfast food, we, with a steady hand and sufficient patience, can stand an egg on end any day. As the chicken dutifully produced the shell, calcium deposits form unevenly, creating a granularity to the surface that leads to the phenomena. Undisturbed, it will stand on end, well, endlessly.

So, why can’t we settle in, resting on our own lifelong-accumulation of barnacles, to an uninterrupted run of balance? Don’t we deserve the chance to stand on end, escaping the otherwise prone nature of existence? Either external or internal, we find it difficult to maintain our stance. We wobble, stumble and sway, returning again and again to the steady state of our natures, frustrated by our inability to hold on to flawless symmetry.

Yet, we humans are very much animate. And while it may keep us in the constant pursuit of balance, it also enables us to adroitly dispense with shifting circumstance, prospective harm and disrupting environments. Should we simply embrace the truism that it is always something? Happily, it might be something good.

Shop Talk The roaster had it right

Commentary by Jason Peek As I watch our overly sensitive world cry and march around destroying things to get their points across to the rest of us (so we can be more like them), I started to wonder: • What happened to the old World War II attitude where you ate nails and drank beer for breakfast?

• What happened to the days when you were taught to be tough, because it was a tough world and there were no handouts, only hard work?

I had to laugh at all the posturing as I watched the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts featuring black, white, Jewish and other religions represented among the comedians as they shared cocktails and cigarettes and lovingly cracked on each other with racial jokes, religious jokes and physical and sexual jokes. They all laughed at each other and themselves for who they were. Dean Martin, a drunk; Don Rickels, a chubby, balding Jew; and Sammy Davis Jr., a black Jew, among others. On and on it went, and at the end of every roast they were all hugging, kissing and laughing with each other as they

headed out to party together in Las Vegas.

As it should be.

Yes, it’s true they actually let the remarks roll off their backs and didn’t take offense to the jokes. They didn’t whine and cry like overemotional children. Why? Because they all realized that it doesn’t matter who you are, what color you are or “whatever,” because we all have something to make fun of, and everyone at some point in life will be offended, stolen from, punched or dissed by a friend or loved one, among other such acts.

Let us all be a little tougher in life and quit crying about everything that doesn’t go our way — or maybe just even remember that we all think differently than others sometimes, and that’s OK, just as long as we are not infringing with our oh-so important opinions.

I’m getting old, people. And clumsy.

Here’s what happened: After work on Tuesday I HUMOR checked in with all of my kiddos, made a carpool run to dance, then prepped for a jog. I used the bathroom four times, dug up some sunglasses and set off into the rush hour traffic with a vague 6-mile route in mind.

Almost to the half-way point and a much-needed port-a-pot, I switched from the sidewalk to the road for smoother and more asphalt-ey ground. As an oncoming car approached, I drifted slightly to the left but remained on the road.

Briefly. Within the next three seconds, I’d rolled my ankle off the edge, broken my fall with my right knee and hands, and began dragging my wounded body out of harm’s way. The car that I had sought to avoid drove right on by without so much as a mild slowdown. I couldn’t believe it!

Stunned, embarrassed and fairly certain I’d broken something, I sat up and assessed my situation. I was almost 3 miles from home, bleeding and hurting, and I didn’t have my phone (I’ve already been reprimanded by the kids and my husband Doo about that last tidbit, so zip it). I stood up and began to walk, and thanks to the adrenaline and shock, discovered I could jog. Momma had to get home! And I made it in record time because I’m awesome.

My ankle is still swollen and my scabby knee looks like an 8-year old’s, but I learned a valuable lesson. My balance and judgment are not what they used to be. I’m switching to swimming, Peace out.

He ate how many Big Macs?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

RSVP TODAY for our

SUMMER SOIREE! June 28 from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Rose Senior Living Carmel

A Wisconsin man just ate his 30,000th Big Mac (more than one a day, for 50 years).

Donald Gorsky lives in MilwauHUMOR kee, which is unbelievable. No, not the Milwaukee part — the living part. Think about it: 30,000 Big Macs is the equivalent of 800 heads of lettuce, 523 pounds of cheese, 100 gallons of special sauce, 14 heads of cattle and several million sesame seeds. And he says he never gets sick. He has no known health issues, but he has surely created some unknown ones.

Every doctor in the nation would have predicted that Gorsky should have been in his McCoffin by now, but instead, a newspaper article about his feat claims he is healthy, robust and has actually fathered genetically viable children. And he broke four other records as well: • Person with the most clothing with special sauce stains.

• The only person to order the exact same thing at the same McDonald’s for 50 years and get the wrong order 27,000 times.

• First person to go on Weight Watchers and run out of points by 8:30 a.m. ev-

ery day.

By the way, Gorsky also eats at White Castle regularly, but he never mentions it because he knows it’s a disgusting habit and he’s trying to quit.

I have set some records myself. For example, every morning for 25 years, I have checked my cellphone for messages 12 or more times. This is a world record that I hold. Well, OK, I don’t actually hold that record: I am tied with 4 billion other people.

For my entire adult life, I have started my to-do list with the word EXERCISE followed by a little O that I fill in when I have completed that chore. I have never missed a day. Not actually exercising — just coloring in that little O. By the way, when Gorsky was a prison guard in Milwaukee, the inmates rioted because they had been served Salisbury steak three days in a row.

Needless to say, he wasn’t very sympathetic.

Blackmores advocate in D.C.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It’s been more than two years since Carmel 6-year-old Brooks Blackmore died after a battle with CANCER RESEARCH brain cancer. His parents, Josh and Tracey Blackmore, said the pain is still very real, but they feel the love and support of friends and family as they try to make a positive difference in Brooks’ name.

The Blackmores visited Washington, D.C. in April to talk with congressional leaders and advocate for a bill called the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Treatment Access and Research (STAR) Act, which would strengthen children’s cancer research efforts, enhance the quality of life for survivors and help kids get access to life-saving treatments. The Blackmores were there as ambassadors for St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the nation’s largest private funder of childhood cancer research, and participated in the eighth annual Childhood Cancer Action Days, April 23-24, coordinated by the Alliance for Childhood Cancer.

The bill passed in the U.S. House May 22.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks of Carmel was a co-sponsor.

“There are children in every corner of our country who are battling or losing their fight with this ruthless disease,” Brooks said in a statement. “The STAR Act will help advance research efforts to discover new therapies and treatments to save lives and combat pediatric cancer. The STAR Act also works to improve the overall quality of life for pediatric cancer survivors by improving systems for monitoring and providing treatment.”

On May 19, the family also helped raise nearly $40,000 for St. Baldrick’s at an event called Be Brave and Shave, which was held at Grand Park.

Pies and Pints to open in Clay Terrace this summer

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A new dining addition will open in Clay Terrace this summer. Pies and Pints, a craft pizza and beer eatery, will NEW BIZ open in the space previously occupied by Corner Bakery in July.

“In our most simplistic form, we are made-from-scratch, artisan-style craft pizza and craft beer,” owner and President Rob Lindeman said. “It’s really myopic in terms of our approach. Our ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. We make our own dough, our own sauces and desserts.

We make homemade focaccia bread to make homemade croutons.”

There are 13 locations across the nation.

Lindeman said in addition to the Clay Terrace store, Pies and Pints also has plans to open in Hamilton Town Center by September. Construction has begun inside the Clay Terrace store.

“Indianapolis has been on our radar for a long time, and we feel the time is right,” Lindeman said. “We’ve been in Columbus (Ohio) for six years, and Columbus has been

a really good market. Indianapolis mirrors Columbus in a lot of attributes, and we felt like it was a great market. We see some pretty cool things going on with food in that market and that’s why it was on our radar.”

Clay Terrace General Manager Jennifer Jones expressed similar excitement in a press release.

“Clay Terrace is thrilled to welcome Pies and Pints to our outstanding lineup of restaurants and stores,” Jones stated. “With the addition of Pies and Pints, we are further increasing the excitement and energy within the center.”

Carmel Community Players perform rare Mark Twain play ‘Is He Dead?’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Twain’s play took more than a century to come to stage.

“It had been buried in his THEATER manuscripts for 100 years, which is really cool,” Mark Tumey said. “A modern-day playwright took the play and condensed it from three acts and 35 people to two acts and 11 people.”

Twain wrote the play, “Is He Dead?” in 1898. Twain scholar Shelly Fisher Fishkel had it published in 2003. David Ives adapted the play for its debut in 2007.

It will make its Indiana premiere as a Carmel Community Players production June 8 to 24 at the 150-seat Studio Theater 37 at Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy in Fishers.

Tumey, a Noblesville resident, suggested the play to CCP and was asked by CCP to direct it. It is the first show he has directed for CCP. Tumey acted in the production in a theater in Gilbert, Ariz., 18 months ago.

“I thought it was such a great show and I wanted to bring it to central Indiana,” he said.

The play focuses on Jean-Francois Millet, a starving artist in Paris.

“The idea is you don’t make any money as an artist until you’re dead, which brings the whole concept of we’ll fake the death, so Millet feigns his death,” Tumey said. “Pictures start to rise in value. His widowed sister comes into the picture to settle his estate — that is Millet, crossdressed as a sister. Most of the play focuses on Millet as the sister, fighting off two male suitors in the process. At the end, Millet comes back as himself. It’s a slapstick comedy, borderline farce. There is an energetic cast of 11 people, seven male and four females.”

Brownsburg resident Jaime Johnson is performing the role of Millet and his sister.

“The dual roles of artist and widowed sister are quite a bit different,” Johnson said. “The changes in the character depend on who is in the room. If there is

someone in on the joke, then it’s one way, regardless of the dress. My pupils are the ones that are in on it. My girlfriend doesn’t know anything.”

Although Johnson has acted for 20 years in central Indiana, this is his first appearance with CCP. “It’s not often you find something that has been buried for 100 years and you get to put a nice modern spin on it,” said Johnson, who typically does comedies. “It’s pretty neat, the lineage on it. Who gets to do Twain?”

Larry Adams, a CCP regular who lives in the Brownsburg area, plays Bastien Andre.

“I have one of the most fun parts because the villain is always fun to play,” Adams said. “I get to chew the scenery quite a bit with this. I can’t say it’s the most challenging role I’ve had because it is so much fun to do.”

Morgan Morton, a Broad Ripple resident, portrays Marie in her first CCP appearance.

“I wanted to work for CCP,” Morton said. “I auditioned before and didn’t get it. I wanted a chance to work with this theater company and meet some people.

I wanted to do a comedy. I tried out, and here I am.”

Morton was a theater major at Taylor University.

“She’s very delightful,” Morton said of her character. “She is just the right amount of naïve. She’s very spunky and has a lot of drive because of her love for Millet.”

IF YOU GO Where: Theater 37 at Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, 10029 E. 126th St, Fishers.

Tickets: $14 to $16.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. June 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23; 2:30 p.m. June 10, 17, 24.

BTI’s ‘Absolution’ set for LA film festival editorial@youarecurrent.com Carmel-based Ballet Theatre of Indiana’s short film “Absolution” will be shown at the world-famous Chinese Theater in Los Angeles as a part of the Dances With Films Festival. The film will be shown at 2:45 p.m.

June 8. “Absolution” was choreographed by London-based Indiana native Sarah Farnsley and shot by Emmy-winning independent filmmaker Bryan Boyd in Oct. 2017. The film depicts a group of people in purgatory learning to cope with their regrets.

“The House of the Rising Sun is a place of transition in music and folklore. It’s a purgatory where travelers, vagabonds and lost souls cross paths before continuing toward their life after,” Farnsley stated in a news release. “‘Absolution’ is a snapshot of that purgatory, that waiting room, where souls must accept the regrets and disappointments in their lives before they can cross over. Personal struggles are highlighted in duets and solos throughout the piece. Some remorse is too difficult to let go, though, and while many find reprieve from their sins and escape the cycle of self-recrimination, Carmel — Tommy and Duke will perform from 4 to 5 p.m. June 7 at Woodland Terrace’s Concerts in the Courtyard series.

White-hot summer wine Commentary by Elizabeth Morse I enjoy unique wine varietals, and there are so many great whites out there. I thought I’d share some WINEderlust of my current favorites as we jump into the heat of summer. These are all great to enjoy on your patio, or by the pool, but I’ll also give you tips with each on how to pair them with food in case you’re curious.

First up is a Grüner Veltliner, an Austrian white that is typically enjoyed as a young wine. A great value is Hugl Grüner Veltliner: A big, litre-size bottle will only set you back about $15. It’s fresh with flavors of citrus, stonefruit, flowers and the signature white pepper. A great match for grilled artichokes, asparagus or spicy Asian dishes.

My next pick, Paco & Lola Albariño, is ideal for pairing with aged cheeses, sushi, chicken salad or grilled fish. Alabriño hails from the Rias Baixas region in Spain and is a crisp wine that’s

perfect for summer. It’s gives a flowery, tropicaI impression on the nose but you’ll enjoy the lean flavors of citrus and green apple in your mouth. The bottle ($19) boasts a cunning black-and-white, polka dot label that creates a stylish focal point on your table.

Finally, I’ll suggest a dry, Hungarian wine called Furmint. Furmint comes from the famed Tokaj region of Hungary and is an indigenous grape (not the dessert Furmint, which is very sweet). I’m loving the 2015 from Patricius Tokaj right now, ($14). A bright wine with a perfumed nose, driven by minerals with ripe peach and a little almond. It’s tangy and a great accompaniment to seafood, chicken and pork.

Let me know what you think, and cheers!

First Lady adds signature to piano

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jeff McDermott, president/CEO of the Great American Songbook Foundation and the Center for the THE PALLADIUM Performing Arts, got an assist from good friend Tomisue Hilbert in securing a visit with Melania Trump and her signature on a piano fallboard.

The Carmel-based foundation’s historical archives include an instrument known as the “America’s First Ladies” piano, which now bears the autographs of Trump and seven of her White House predecessors: Betty Ford, Rosalynn Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama.

The piano, a 1911 Steinway & Sons Model O, a small grand piano, was restored through a partnership between the Steinway company and musician/preservationist Michael Feinstein, founder of the Songbook Foundation. It was updated for functionality and restyled to reflect the French Empire décor of the Blue Room, an elegant reception parlor at the White House. The piano made its national debut when Nancy Reagan invited Feinstein to perform at the Ronald Reagan

dent and the first lady. We asked her if she might assist us in getting Mrs. Trump, and she literally pulled out her phone and texted Mrs. Trump on the spot. That started the process, and Mrs. Trump was gracious to accept and put us in touch with her scheduling folks.”

McDermott and Tomisue Hilbert met Trump May 8.

“She was delightful,” McDermott said. “She asked a lot of questions about the piano, the fallboard, the Great American Songbook Jeff McDermott, president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Foundation and the Center Arts, and First Lady Melania Trump pause near the piano signed for the Performing Arts.

CYT presents ‘Footloose’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Footloose” provides a new acting realm for Hayden Elefante.

The Zionsville Community THEATER High School sophomore plays Ren McCormack in Christian Youth Theater’s production of “Footloose” June 8 to 10 at Marian University. McCormack moves from Chicago to a small Texas town, where dancing and rock music have been banned.

“I watched the movie a couple of times to get the bad boy sense feel,” Elefante said.

“I’m not really like that in real life, so I had to prep for it. It’s something I’ve never done before, so it’s kind of exciting and new. I’m always playing the funny character in the shows. There are bits of humor, but it’s more serious.”

Madeline Hatfield, a Carmel High School junior, plays Ariel Moore, rebellious daughter of Rev. Shaw Moore.

“It relates a lot to teenage problems that I’m facing right now, rebellious feelings and that kind of stuff,” Hatfield said. “It’s fun to put myself in the character as well. There are a lot of characters that have different personalities throughout the show, so ev-

eryone can relate to somebody.”

Kaycee Beck, a ZCHS junior, plays Rusty, Ariel’s best friend.

“I love the dancing,” Beck said. “I love the cast. The cast is amazing.”

Westfield High School freshman Ellye Tibbets is cast as Wendy Jo, another of Ariel’s friends.

Jaala Berry, a Herron High School sophomore who lives in Sheridan, is cast as Ariel’s friend, Urleen.

ZCHS senior Noah Boehm plays Ren’s best friend, Willard.

Blueprint for Improvement: West Carmel outdoor living space Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This home in the Woods of Williams Creek neighborhood in Carmel still is considered fairly new, having been built in the early 2000s. Although the interior was mostly up to date, the exterior was in need of updates.

The goal was to give the owners an outdoor living space they could enjoy while also making it easier to maintain.

1. The biggest transformation came from replacing all the wood decking with composite decking. Not only does composite decking look and feel like real wood, but the homeowners won’t have to worry about staining or painting their deck every few years.

2. Another beautiful addition to the deck is the lighting system that was incorporated into the composite.

3. A stainless steel cable railing also was incorporated along the perimeter of the deck, not only enhancing safety but also creating a more modern design.

4. The screened-in porch was updated by adding a French door, flooring to match the decking and a higher ceiling, making the space appear larger.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The materials used on the screenedin porch and deck were weathered.

Because the space was large, it also was hard to maintain. The screenedin porch was used more for storage than it was for outdoor living because it lacked space and appeal.

Picking your friend’s nose Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ashley Roncevic

Believe it or not, correcting other people’s grammar isn’t going to win you any friends.

And you also might GRAMMAR GUY have trouble keeping the friends you do have if you follow them around with your figurative red pen poised in conversations.

I’ll admit, I fell prey to the low-hanging fruit of correcting a friend’s grammar the other night. My red ink came out almost as a grammatical reflex. For the record, I was correct. Also, for the record, I’m sorry I did it. Unless someone gives you explicit permission to correct their grammar during conversations, just don’t do it. You’ll look like a jerk. It’s almost as bad as picking your friend’s nose.

I chose to drop the grammar hammer over the words obtain and attain, two word cousins people often get confused. Let’s learn about these two words and how to use them correctly. Attain is a verb that means to achieve or accomplish reaching a goal. Obtain is a verb that means to acquire or get something. Based on these two definitions, the words seem strikingly similar.

When it comes to attain, think about

achieving or accomplishing something. This is usually something that isn’t physical, like enlightenment or wisdom. You can attain a rank in the Army, which isn’t necessarily something you can physically hold. When you obtain something, it’s usually a physical object, like car keys or a pet octopus.

The fine line between attain and obtain is found with things such as degrees and diplomas. You attain a degree (something you achieve or accomplish). You obtain a diploma (the physical piece of paper). In “National Treasure,” Nicolas Cage’s character obtains the Declaration of Independence. By doing so, he attained criminal status.

If you choose to correct people’s grammar publicly, you risk attaining a reputation for being someone nobody wants to be around. You might even obtain a black eye. So, put the red pens away; people aren’t friends with you because they like it when someone points out their grammar discrepancies.

DISPATCHES Don’t kill those centipedes — You know those terrifying looking centipedes you see in your house sometimes?

Although your first instinct is to kill them, you really shouldn’t. They don’t do any damage and they prey on other pests that you don’t want. They kill roaches, flies and termites, among other things. So, it’s best to leave them alone and let them hunt.

The church of Jesus’ grandmother

Commentary by Don Knebel

A magnificently well-preserved Crusader church in Jerusalem honors Saint Anne. Although not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, both Christian and Islamic TRAVEL traditions recognize her as the grandmother of Jesus.

The New Testament is silent about the parents of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In about 145 A.D., the “Infancy Gospel of James” first identified Mary’s mother as the long-barren Anna and her father as the wealthy Joaquin. By the fourth century, Church authorities had determined that this popular book was spurious. However, the story about Anna and Joaquin had gained a life of its own among the faithful. According to one popular version of the story, Mary was born to Anna in a Jerusalem cave. The Quran, which devotes an entire chapter to Mary, also suggests Mary’s mother was barren. Islamic tradition gives her the name Hannah. By the eighth century, the grandmother of Jesus was being venerated as Saint Anne.

After the Crusaders captured Jerusalem from the Muslims in 1099, they discovered the ruins of a fifth-century church just north of the Temple Mount, the enormous platform on which the Jewish Temple stood until destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Somehow concluding that the ruins marked the birthplace of Mary, between 1131 and 1138 the Crusaders erected on the site a Romanesque-style stone church dedicated to Saint Anne. The church included interiNotice of Public Hearing Before Carmel Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals Docket No. 18040009 V Notice is hereby given that the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on the 25th Day of June 2018 at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 1 Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032 will hold a Public Hearing upon a Development Standards Variance application to: Approve a 6 foot tall solid wall the length of the front property line which is a violation of UDO Section 5.09.B Maximum of 42” tall fence with at least 25% visibility required in the front yard. Property is commonly known as 2070 West 106th Street, Carmel IN 46032. The application for variance is identified as Docket No. 18040009 V. The legal description for this property is as follows: Lot Number 2 in 1800 106th Street Subdivision, an Addition in Hamilton County, Indiana, as per plat thereof recorded as instrument Number 20160488921 found in the office of the recorder of Hamilton County, Indiana. The Petitioner is Joe Logan of Timothy Homes, LLC

or steps leading to the cave where they believed Mary was born. When Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187, he spared Anne’s church, using it to house an important Islamic center of learning.

Today, the Church of Saint Anne, in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem, is owned by the French government. The church is famous for its extraordinary acoustics, said to be perfect for Gregorian chants. Visiting groups are encouraged to hear for themselves by singing (or chanting) inside.

DIY budget tips — If you are undertaking a DIY project, here is a tip for getting your cost down. Look for clearance items and damaged packages. Then, ask the manager for further discounts. Store managers want these things moved out and are often willing to negotiate.

Damaged boxes, especially, can lead to discounts even though the product inside is just fine.
