Ritz Charles of Carmel celebrates 30 years of business

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com A local event services company is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month.

Ritz Charles, owned by success story Carmel resident Chuck Lazzara and his wife, Lynn, opened in 1985 and hosts weddings, corporate outings and social events such as bar mitzvahs, retirement and anniversary celebrations.

It is also one of three exclusive caterers for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and is the exclusive caterer for the Indianapolis Public Library, the Indianapolis Artsgarden and Coxhall Gardens.

Ritz Charles idea started in the late 1970’s when Lazzara was a real estate agent for Lazzara F.C. Tucker Co. He had been to many weddings in his 20s, and had seen how nice the facilities that hosted them were. Yet when it came to Indianapolis’ suburbs, there was no such facility.

After doing some market research and spending some money, Lazzara concluded that it was time to take the plunge and make his idea happen.

“I was on this slide, basically, this mental slide, and I was like (to my wife), ‘You know, I’ve spent $80,000, it’s our life savings, on this venture and I can’t get back up the slide. We have to risk it all’, and that’s what we did,” Lazzara said.

The idea was met with skepticism from people in the community and from people at the banks for financing who said 95 percent of restaurants fail, to even the then-mayor of Carmel, Jane Reiman, who said the idea would never work in the area.

Lazzara didn’t give up, however.

After being rejected by local banks, he convinced some bank representatives from First Merchants Bank to ride up with him to Chicago in 1983 to check out banquet facilities there. That convinced them to loan Lazzara the $1.5 million needed to build his facility, ultimately opening on June 1, 1985. Since then, they have earned awards such as being named one of Indiana’s Top 10 Business Stories of 1993, and the Applause (Busi-

ness of the Year) Award from the Carmel Chamber of Commerce in 2010.

Dave Coots, founder of Coots, Henke and Wheeler, says that Lazzara is “the consummate businessman” and knows how to treat his customers fairly. He also praised Lazzara for how he and fellow lawyers were treated during the Indiana State Bar Association’s two-day legal continuing education event, saying Lazzara made them feel like they were the only ones there.

“He sees opportunity and isn’t hesitant to take advantage of it,” Coots said. “I’ve always found him to be a fair person in his assessment of how people want to be treated.”

That ambition and fair treatment of customers has allowed Lazzara to expand his business to host corporate events for groups like the ISBA, the Chamber of Commerce, and even a Dallasarea business’ cattle show. He also set up a Ritz Charles in the Kansas City area in 2000, and his brother-in-law, Bill Frye, runs it today. Along with that came additions to the Meridian Street facility in 1989, and most recently, in 2013.

Lazzara credits his success to his basic business philosophy, learning from experience, his mentors, brother Tom Lazzara and George Sweet, along with Steve Hilbert, who used to own Conseco and hired Lazzara to host events.

“Provide really good food, really good services and really good amenities at a price that’s hard to beat,” Lazzara said.

Dental graduates – Ross Biggerstaff and Anna Jouravlev, both of Carmel, recently graduated as Doctors of Dental Surgery Jouravlev Biggerstaff from the Indiana University School of Dentistry.

Express Enrollment – Ivy Tech Community College will host Express Enrollment from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 16 at its Hamilton County Campus, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Brainard moves forward with 96th and Keystone interchange

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com One of Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s campaign promises was to turn the intersection at 96th Street and Keystone roads Avenue into a roundabout interchange.

His opponent, City Council President Rick Sharp, disagreed with Brainard’s plan, saying he had no strategy to pay for it and that there might be better solutions to improve traffic rather than always using roundabouts.

But Brainard won with more than 60 percent of the vote, and now he’s eager to proceed with his plan. His office applied for a Tiger Grant before the June 6 deadline to receive $19 million in federal money that would pay for construction costs. The report said the total cost of the smaller version of this project would be more than $30 million. Hamilton County Commissioners voted on May 26 to allocate $2 million in funding for the project and the City of Carmel would plan to spend approximately $10 million, according to the report. Construction could begin in 2017.

Full funding still is pending approval by the Hamilton Co. Council.

Brainard’s idea isn’t to install a simple roundabout, but a teardrop roundabout interchange, similar to that at 116th and Keystone. North-south Keystone motorists could drive under the bridge and not stop at the intersection.

Brainard noted that the Tiger Grant would pay for up to 80 percent of construction cost only, leaving many other expenses.

Once a budget is proposed and funding has been secured, Brainard said the next step would be to come up with a construction strategy that keeps lanes open and minimizes any negative impact on surrounding businesses. He said businesses have already closed due to congestion and he expects to see more if traffic isn’t improved. His report suggests in

By the numbers $31.9 MILLION – total cost of the project $19 MILLION – requested from USDOT for the project $10 MILLION – Carmel’s share of the costs $2 MILLION – Hamilton County Commissioners pledge to the project $112 MILLION – spent by Carmel on Keystone improvements from 2008 to 2010 80 – roundabouts constructed in Carmel over the last 10 years 220 – crashes at the intersection from January 2012 to December 2014.

Brainard emphasized that the intersection is a safety concern in his mind. A 12-minute video for the City of Carmel details how more than 200 auto accidents used to be seen annually in Carmel’s five-mile stretch of Keystone before roundabout interchanges were installed.

“I haven’t yet heard from an everyday citizen that didn’t want to see something done at that intersection,” Brainard said. “People say, ‘Why is it taking so long?’”

Well, the Carmel Fire Department is putting on an event that could get body you “calendar-ready.”

On June 27, Carmel firefighters will be hosting a free fitness boot camp on the lawn in front of city hall from 9 to 9:45 a.m.

Anyone is invited to bring a towel or yoga mat and be instructed Griffin on how to get fit by Carmel firefighters who have been certified as personal trainers.

Firefighter Tim Griffin, well-known for his appearances on the IndyStyle morning news show, said it’s a great way to help the community get fit and it doesn’t matter what level you are at.

“In the fire stations, space is at a premium so we’ll be showing people how to get fit using just your own body weight instead of needing any machines or equipment,” he said.

If the event is a success, Griffin said they hope to hold future events in the same space.

“It’s a great place to hold an event because afterwards you can just walk down to the Carmel Farmers Market and refuel with all of the great food they have there,” he said.

“Many people take the back for granted until it hurts. Until I started working here I didn’t realize it’s the second most common reason why people go to the doctor behind the common cold,” Matthews said.

This year’s honorary chair is WTHR’s meteorologist Chuck Lofton. He is a back patient but also understands how back pain can affect a family.

“His father was a World War II veteran and was injured on the battlefield in one of the trenches. As a result he had to have several surgeries through his life so he dealt with back pain most of his life,” Matthews said.

Try golfing for Ground Zero

By Renee Larr• news@currentincarmel.com

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is holding a charity golf outing at Prairie View Golf philanthropy Club June 22 to benefit the reconstruction of a Christian church destroyed during the events of September 11, 2001.

“Golf for Ground Zero” organizers aim to raise $8,000 - $11,000 in charitaHostetler ble donations for the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, buried by the collapse of the south tower during the 2001 attacks.

“It’s part of the healing process,” Duane Hostetler, a member of the HTGOC golf charity committee said.

Saint Nicholas, founded in 1916 by Greek immigrants, was the only Christian church destroyed during the 2001 attacks. The movement to restore the church has seen a number of delays over the past decade due to disagreements between Greek Orthodox church leaders and Port Authority, which owns the World Trade Center site.

The estimated cost to rebuild the Saint Nicholas Church is at least $30 million, according to Hostetler.

Participants can purchase spots in the Florida Scramble format outing for $125 per golfer. Potential sponsors can also purchase signage on individual holes and carts for $250, as well as a $1,200 package that includes its own four-player slot in the event and recognition during the awards ceremony. Sponsorships are also available at the $25, $300 and $500 prices. Various shot contests and a silent auction will also take place.

Peace Water Winery expands

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Peace Water Winery, which opened in the Carmel Arts & Design District last fall, is already planning an expansion. business The Main Street business is beginning construction on an outdoor space in the back of the business and is raising money online to support the build.

“We are excited to share this groovy new space with all of you and cannot wait until we are able to enjoy great wine and the great outdoors together,” owner Scott Burton said.

“This patio is going to be the coolest outdoor space in all of Carmel.”

Burton said the back parking lot area was is need of some improvement as the concrete is crumbling and rocks and gravel are kicked up as people walk by. He said this space will provide a nice space to relax and host events/ fundraisers or showcase live music. Burton also emphasized the charitable mission of his business, since 50 percent of his net profits are always donated to charities.

The space will feature fire pits in the cold months, speakers for music, an Arcadia louvered roof and covered walkway.

As of press time, he has raised more than $2,000 on indiegogo.com to fund the build, but

construction is already underway. Unlike some other online fundraisers, Peace Water Winery is making sure to give its funders value for each donation, such as free private parties, T-shirts, bumper stickers, theater tickets and a winemaker tasting. In essence, funders are pre-paying for their party on the patio space before it’s even built.

Burton plans to follow all procedures and permits, but will save money by doing most of the construction work with his family.

Cell tower still in dispute

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com It was standing room only at the public Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting last week on the construction of an AT&T cell phone tower near the corner county of 146th Street and Oak Ridge Road.

The hearing reviewed the design plan of a 120-foot cell tower that AT&T wants to build in a residential area on a plot owned by Our Lady of Mount Carmel church and school. The plot borders the school’s athletic field and an adjacent natural gas pumping station.

The advisory plan commission didn’t vote to approve the tower, which would sit on the border of Westfield and Carmel, but it heard concerns from members of the community that think the tower poses a threat to public safety.

“We’re very concerned with this location in a residential area,” said Doug Holtz, the Home Owners Association president of Village Farms in Westfield. “None of our concerns were taken into account by the board of zoning appeals. We feel like we were ignored as citizens of Westfield.”

Critics of the tower are concerned that

it could fall onto 146th Street or onto school property. The Board of Zoning Appeals granted AT&T a variance to build the tower on the plot on May 12 despite public disapproval. The variance means AT&T can build the tower 65 feet from the road and 75 feet from school property, while usually a structure has to be at least as far away from the road as its height.

Indiana law states that a variance may only be granted if “the approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.” Critics of the tower said that they don’t think the board of met that standard.

Family comes first for Bostic

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mike Bostic couldn’t imagine spending so much time watching other kids play and not seeing his Carmel High School own play.

So the highly successful tennis coach decided to put what will likely be a pause to his career, resigning as Carmel High School boys and girls tennis coach.

“I’m not calling it retirement,” he said. “I won’t close the door to coaching again. I love it too much.”

His Carmel High School girls tennis team sent him out in style, capturing its third consecutive state title on June 6 at North Central, finishing unbeaten.

“You couldn’t write it any better,” he said of his final season. “No Carmel girls team has ever won three in a row so we made history, too.”

Bostic, 42, also captured five state boys team titles to give him a combined total of eight. Bostic had coached the boys since 2000 and girls since 2012.

Bostic and his wife Gina have two sons.

Brainard wants to try again for Range Line roundabouts

“I didn’t want to look back when they’re older and think I missed out on something,” said Bostic, who will continue as Forest Dale Elementary physical education teacher. “I’ve missed a lot of their lives. Family life is busy and they need their dad around.”

Bostic will continue to follow his former players.

“I’ll be up in the stands watching them,” he said.

MORE BUYERS THAN SELLERS, LET US LIST YOUR HOME TODAY!

When developer Anderson Birkla recently showed a map of the proposed mixed-use development on the former Party roads Time Rental site, there were two sets of plans. One map showed Range Line Road as it is and another showed two new roundabouts – one at Carmel Drive and another at Executive Drive.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he would like to revive the plans to construct Brainard roundabouts in these locations and he said it should be about 90 percent paid for through federal road funds.

Total costs were not revealed and no public announcement has been made.

Some councilors have questioned cost projections. It’s possible that considerable land would have to be acquired and the roundabout could impact the Arby’s at Carmel Drive, possibly necessitating relocation.

City Councilor Luci Snyder has been a vocal opponent of the idea and along with her fellow councilors she worked to remove the proposed roundabout from the city’s comprehensive plan. She said the cost isn’t the only

concern, but construction would negatively affect businesses.

“We’ve talked to the business owners and they tell us they don’t want these roundabouts,” Snyder said.

Furthermore, Snyder said businesses don’t want fast moving traffic along Range Line.

She said a brief stop at an intersection is a chance for potential customers to discover new restaurants and businesses.

Brainard doesn’t buy that argument. In fact, he said studies have shown that Snyder roundabouts can increase traffic for neighboring businesses because if congestion becomes an issue than consumers will just avoid an area all together. He also said they always try to minimize the impact of construction and you can’t let that be a reason to avoid moving the city forward. The bottom line he said is that traffic could flow better along these areas and there’s federal money to help improve the situation.

Snyder was voted out of office, and now Brainard has a majority of candidates that he endorsed taking office in January. As a result, a new council means this discussion isn’t dead yet.

Sophia Square has now converted commercial retail units along the Monon Trail – which had remained vacant – into housing residential units.

Ersal Ozdemir, president and CEO of Keystone Construction Corp., said there was interest in first-floor units in the building, but none was available, so the decision was made to create six units along the Monon, three in the courtyard and three along 1st Avenue. He said six of the 12 first-floor units have been leased.

After converting these units, Ozdemir said Sophia Square’s retail space is now 100 percent leased. He said besides those new units there is a waiting list for renters for residential units at the building.

For the new first-floor units, there are eight

State auditors question Carmel’s clerk-treasurer, CRC

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Indiana State Board of Accounts has recently released its audit of the City of Carmel and it found some issues regarding city the funds of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission.

Two major criticisms in the report, which covers the city’s 2013 budget, are as follows: • Auditors claim that the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office did not follow proper financial

bookkeeping for the city’s tax increment finance districts. By not establishing a subsidiary ledger for each fund, it makes it appear that all of the money is “co-mingled.”

• City buildings such as City Hall, the fire headquarters and police station have been “underpaying” the amount agreed to by contract to help pay off the debt associated with building the city’s energy center.

The district funds What did they say?

The SBOA puts much of the blame for the accounting problem with the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office and claims that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission maintained a subsidiary ledger for each individual allocation area. “A separate accounting of amounts derived Cordray from other revenue sources was also not maintained,” the report states.

Who is responsible?

Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray disputes this accusation and said she only submits the information as sent by the CRC and that if it is going to be separated then her office needs more information to be sent over by the CRC. Corrie Meyer, director of the CRC, said they have sent an excel spreadsheet that explains all of the TIF district breakdowns. City officials also said that often SBOA auditors will be sat-

isfied with a system of accounting for years and then decide one year that it shouldn’t be done that way.

Why is this important?

TIF districts are set up to capture property tax increases in an area and then use that money to fund redevelopment. In Carmel, many of the TIF dollars Meyer are used to pay off bonds used to construct the Carmel Center for the Performing Arts. Other TIF sources are tied to projects such as parking garages. Some experts argue that TIF revenue has to be reinvested in the district where it originated from, the only exceptions being projects that affect the entire region such as The Palladium. That is the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office is concerned about co-mingling funds because it makes it hard to tell if money is being spent for its intended purpose.

energy center What did they say?

SBOA auditors found that agreements entered into on Nov. 1, 2010 haven’t been followed. Except for The Palladium, several buildings were paying less money than was agreed to into the contract when the Energy Center was built. In total, SBOA found $654,799 was underpaid or under-billed in 2013. The previous year showed identical numbers.

Who is responsible?

Everyone has a different answer but somehow it was agreed by the CRC or the City Council years ago that the lesser amount would be fine instead of the amounts in the contract.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the CRC has had no problem making its payments on the energy center debt, but there is a shortfall and they usually find the money through other revenue sources. Brainard emphasized that these

are all departments of the city and in essence one city department is paying another city department. To fix this problem, the contract would have to be amended to reflect the lower amounts or the entities would begin paying the larger amount specified in the contract.

Why is this important?

The energy center is a facility that provides cooled and heated air to several buildings.

It’s meant to not only improve acoustics in The Palladium but also to provide energy cost savings. The city sold the energy center and then immediately bought it back as a way to finance the deal and provide capital to help finish construction on The Palladium. There’s around $16 million in debt associated with the energy center. Instead of paying an “energy bill,” it was decided that each building would help pay off this debt.

Brown in her studio at home.

(Submitted photos)

Carmel resident Angelica Brown to start new clothing line

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Angelica Brown began to wonder why more clothes weren’t cotton soft.

“I used to do corporate training cover story and when I came home I was tired of feeling like I wanted to change clothes,” the Carmel resident said. “I would come home and put on a cotton T-shirt to get comfortable. I thought why don’t we make more cotton clothes that we can wear all day that don’t look so sloppy. Cotton allows your skin to breathe.”

Brown’s sister-in-law, Irina Bliznichenko, has been designing clothes for years. So she passed the idea to Bliznichenko and together they decided to form AngeliCotton. The available designs are on the website, angelicotton.com. The launch of her company will be on Sept. 15.

“I knew to make it worth it, it had to be the best cotton that we could find,” Brown said.

The blouses are made of 100 percent organic Peruvian prima cotton.

“That means there are no pesticides when the cotton is made,” Brown said. “In Peru, they grow the cotton and can also make the clothes.”

By the second year, Brown said she hopes production will be moved to the United States.

“I think you can make it worth it if it’s efficient,” Brown said.

By the launch date, the online site will have blouses, skirts and dresses.

Bliznichenko, from the Ukraine, is married to Brown’s brother and they live in Mexico.

Brown, from Mexico, moved to Carmel with her husband Mark three years ago.

Brown and her sister-in-law do most everything through Skype.

“I’ve been there to see her twice to develop the plan in the last nine months,” Brown said.

Brown conducts the operations, finding the fabrics, suppliers and manufacturers.

Get to know Angelica Brown

Just a couple of Brown’s cotton designs.

“My background is in logistics so it becomes natural with me being on the phone with them, negotiating and so on,” Brown said.

The clothes will be available to purchase on the company website and Amazon. The website has previews of some of the clothes that will be available. Brown said potential customers can sign up on the site.

“We might look for distributors later but we want to start ourselves first,” Brown said.

“Right now we’re getting the word out through networking. We’re raising awareness right now. We are hoping to reach a niche who enjoy organic things.”

Brown pointed out before the 1900s, everything was made with natural products.

“When the economy went bad, that’s why they needed cheaper products like polyester and nylon,” Brown said.

“At that time it made sense because they needed something cheaper. Right now, those synthetic products have become the norm.”

Brown and her sister-in-law are reviewing the samples to make any corrections.

“If we can grow, I would love to have the manufacturing done here and just buy the cotton wherever we find the best,” Brown said.

Brown said they are using their savings for the start-up and not acquiring a lot of debt.

“We’re starting small to reduce the risk,” Brown said.

• Personal: Turns 45 on Nov. 1. Married for six years to Mark Brown. Became U.S. citizen in 2014. Has a cocker spaniel named Eliott.

• Activities: President of Toastmasters and president of women’s club in Carmel United Methodist Church.

• Education: Worked for Delphi Electronics in Mexico for 15 years. Worked for her husband’s New Roads Leadership corporate training.

• Favorite restaurant: Traders Point Creamery’s The Loft Restaurant in Zionsville.

• Favorite vacation: Caribbean, cruises.

• Favorite way to relax: “Visit museums, mostly art.

The Indiana Museum of Art, I can be there all day.

I love it so much.”

• Favorite TV show: “Shark Tank” and “The Voice.”

• Favorite musicians: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the Beatles.

• Twitter: @AngelicaBrown01 • Website: angelicotton.com

Brown said her husband and friends have been supportive.

Brown and her husband, who grew up in Indiana, lived in Texas for three years before moving to Carmel.

“I love Indiana,” Brown said. “I think the people are awesome. They welcome me. Everywhere they are very friendly.”

Hashing out the summer agenda

FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P The Red Line: Perfectly fitting Along came the news last week of an economic development group’s possible creation in an effort to grab state dollars (your tax money, folks) to float Phase I of an electric-bus, rapid-transit line. Here we go again. The idea is to create a regional development authority among Carmel, Westfield, Indianapolis and Greenwood. We get the idea, and we believe it could work. What we don’t get is the need for government to fund it and operate it, because that’s what would eventually transpire. Might we commend to your attention Amtrak? When has it ever turned a penny of profit? Closer to home, please take a look at the financial disaster that is IndyGo. No, no a thousand times no. The officials involved are well-meaning folks, we believe, but there is a better way: the private sector.

For one, it likely would be run as a profitable business free from burdensome union undertones, and for another it wouldn’t be akin to a tax phlebotomy every time the coffers got mowed down. How financially fitting. Privatize it, people, and enjoy the ride.

••• Moles last week said the long-suffering Transportation Security Administration is nothing more than a government creation hindered by a philosophy of “fear and distrust.” That’s all well and good. What shook us was this, according to Fox News: “A second report released … showed the agency failed to flag 73 commercial airport workers ‘linked to terrorism.’” More: “Washington hasn’t leveled with the American people,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said. “And (the Department of Homeland Security) is treating this like a PR crisis instead of a homeland security threat.” Of course.

Blind Judgement

Commentary by Terry Anker

Without fanfare Army Sargent Bowe Bergdahl, the much ballyhooed soldier swapped by the United States for several hardened terrorist prisoners, was recently charged with desertion. This came as no surprise to those in his unit who believed the young man had voluntarily become a “captive” of the Taliban. It seems his five-year stint with the other side made him a bit homesick. And, our ruling class youngsters in the White House also were infected with a bit of hubris that they now likely regret.

Why didn’t the administration speak to anyone from this man’s unit? Basic due diligence could have prevented this unfortunate situation. We could have applied our resources to “rescue” someone a bit more deserving of our attentions. Among the scores beheaded, burned and otherwise mutilated by the Islamic extremist community, in all of its various iterations, might

Butler University graduate Peter Kassig have survived if benefited by the White House’s focused attention that instead found its way to the erstwhile Bergdahl?

If one presumes that the failure of decision making in the Bergdahl exchange was precipitated by naiveté and not a willful disregard of clear warnings, the example points to the mistaken hubris of taking action simply because one can and not because one should.

For the time being, Bergdahl remains presumed innocent of the charges against him. It is only human to rejoice for his family, knowing that in spite of challenges to come, he is safe from brutal mutilation and death. Even if justice is blind, shouldn’t judgement keep its eyes open?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means they use to frighten you.

– Ernest Hemingway

Doo and I recently held a family meeting to hammer out the details for a homicide-free summer. Our four children were invited to share their thoughts, and as humor expected, the biggest sticking point was over the Xbox. Our boys argued that since it’s summer, they should be able to do whatever they want, including wasting weeks at a time sniping virtual zombies. We felt it might lead to serial killer status. Decision? Two hours max a day.

Suck it, kids!

Another bone of contention was television.

Again, our two boys spearheaded the debate.

Essentially they felt that if they couldn’t watch at least a half-day’s worth of “Family Guy,” they would never know true happiness.

We rebutted with something called a “book.”

Bottom line? One hour a day, plus they have to participate in the library’s reading program. I’ll certainly take the free ice cream if they don’t want it.

Also in the plan, the reinstatement of the “I’m Bored” jar, a repository for the dollar fines handed out to anyone muttering any derivative of the word “boring.” Proceeds will go to an end-of-summer Dairy Queen bonanza, and to prevent a Bud Light Jar phenomenon, the perp will be assigned some degrading task, like scrubbing the basement toilet. Don’t mess with Mom! And once again, to further enhance this summer’s salt mine experience, “Amish Day” will occur weekly. It was proposed unwittingly three years ago by our then 10-year-old son who, at the aforementioned decision to limit electronic interaction, cried “I’m not going all Amish!” Should have kept your mouth shut Andrew, for you will indeed go Amish.

No video games, computers or television for one whole day. They must use their imaginations and find old-fashioned forms of amusement. It may not work, but their discomfort should prove highly entertaining. Moi-ha-ha!

So the chore chart is up and rockin’, and the forced family game night schedule (“You will have fun, damn it!”) is in full swing. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that our careful planning will result in a blissful summer vacation. And good luck to you, my friends!

Peace out.

Learn your Medicare rights

Commentary by Bob Adams

With the Annual Enrollment from this fall well behind us, the Medicare world is less hectic.

For those turning 65 and insurance who are new to Medicare, the most common guaranteed right is called your Open Enrollment or Initial Enrollment Period. This is like a get out of jail free card. Up to three months prior to your birth month and three months after your birth month, you can choose any plan offered by any company, and you are guaranteed to be accepted.

There are also seven other guaranteed rights which are called a Special Enrollment Period, or SEP. Generally, you don’t have the same full range of options like you do when turning 65, but you do have choices.

They are: 1. If your Medicare Advantage plan leaves your area, you have 60 days prior and 63 days after to choose another plan.

2. If your employer coverage or Cobra is ending, you have a narrow window of time to choose a different plan.

3. If you have a Medicare Select supplement or MA plan and you move out of the coverage area, you have 60 days

prior and 63 days after to choose another plan.

4. If you joined an MA Plan when you were first eligible at age 65 and within the first year you decide to switch back to original Medicare, you can choose most any Supplemental plan.

5. If you dropped a Medicare supplement for a MA plan for the first time and you’ve been in the plan less than one year, you can switch back to the same plan you had prior to changing.

6. If your Medigap insurance company goes bankrupt, you have up to 63 days to change to a different plan with no questions asked.

7. If your MA plan or Supplement misled you, you have 63 days from the time the coverage ends to choose a plan.

If any of these situations apply to you, contact your agent and discuss what might be better for you.

Two decades and countless hours now brings ‘La Casa Azul’ to life

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock’s product of almost 20 years of work is finally coming to life.

“La Casa Azul” is a performance musical that is completely sung through.

Lyrics, choreography, costumes and music were all done by Hancock.

The musical explores the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Hancock said this production has taken months to plan and create.

“It is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Hancock said. “We don’t debut musicals in Indiana very often, if ever, on this kind of a scale. It’s going to be a great production and it involves art, music, history, culture, spirituality, dance and theater. It’s really encompassing of a lot of things so it has a wide appeal to a lot of people.”

Recently, the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre produced “Superhero: The story of a man called Jesus,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Joan of Ark” and more. However, “La Casa Azul” is more of Hancock’s own project, not the dance company’s.

“As Gregory mentioned, musicals don’t happen every day and new musicals are a rare thing, and for it to happen in Indiana, this is very news worthy,” said Dheepa Maturi, a member of the board of directors. “People might not get a chance to see something like this again in their lifetime. I think they should come and experience what it is. All of Gregory’s productions are very lush and beautiful, and people are able to immerse themselves in this different space and time.”

Hancock and Maturi encourage anyone in the city with even a passing interest in the arts to come and see the show, because they said there will be something for everyone instigated in the production.

“It’s like seeing your vision come to life,”

Hancock said. “For me it’s become very personal, I’ve had a challenging 16 months and it’s taken on a very personal aspect for me of why I need to do this as something I sort of have to do for me and my family.”

Hancock recently battled cancer, lost a kidney, won his battle with cancer, lost a friend and a neighbor in a murder-suicide and then lost his mother in September, a person he said who was extremely involved in his work.

“Sometimes when things like that happen to you, you have a different reason for wanting to do things and needing to accomplish things. You want to leave something durable.

I want the legacy of my mother and my family to perpetuate that,” he said.

There are some parallels happening between Hancock’s challenges and pain that mirrors what Frida Kahlo’s life was about.

“She went through such terrible tragedies and tried to overcome so many things, yet in the end there’s this beautiful art that she was able to produce and I am very confident that this is what Gregory is doing,” Maturi said.

“The result is going to be gorgeous.”

“It feels like I’m trying to take all this pain and sorrow and turn it into something beautiful,” Hancock said.

There are dancers, actors, singers and musicians on stage to help bring the show together.

“La Casa Azul” will be performed at the Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, June 25-28. It will be performed at 7 p.m. on the evenings and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

They are expecting more than 2,000 people to be in attendance of the show.

Summer concert series kicks off

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com The annual Summer Family Concert Series at the Gazebo kicked off its 22nd season with an electric performance by the Flying Toasters, an Indianapolis-based diversion club band, June 3.

The Summer Family Concert Series has 10 more concerts planned every Wednesday until August 12. The concerts start at 7:30 p.m. and usually run for two hours. They’re free and open to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets.

The concert series is entirely funded by donations from individuals and businesses, with a significant donation made by the City of Carmel. Volunteers form the entirety of the concert staff.

“It’s so popular because it’s outdoors in the summer right on the lawn of the city hall,” said Melanie Lentz, a member of the Carmel Fountain Square Committee, which plans the concerts. “They feel like they are a part of their community.”

Lentz is also a spokesperson for the City of Carmel, but she said that the two organizations are separate.

“Carmel does contribute to the concerts,

but they’re entirely supported by volunteers and funded by sponsorships,” Lentz said.

Lentz said that the concerts usually draw in anywhere between 1,500 and 2,500 people.

The lawn surrounding the Gazebo at the Civic Square was completely full on the night of June 3 for the year’s first concert.

Lentz, a longtime concert attendee herself, said that the key to the concert’s success is “to keep it fresh every year.”

“We keep some acts to make the regulars happy,” Lentz said. “But we’re also bringing in new acts every year.”

Two renowned artists visit Evan Lurie Gallery

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Two ‘unique’ artists’ works are now on display at the Evan Lurie Gallery in the Carmel Arts & Design District. diversion Michael Gorman, a painter with shows in Miami, New York and Los Angeles, will be painting in Lurie’s space and displaying bright, intense work about Americana. Thomas Norpell, of Martinsville, Ind., will be displaying his 3D art that involves using miniatures and shadow boxes.

“These are two unique, very different artists that I think people will love to see,” Lurie said.

“And you can meet the artists, too.”

The exhibits debuted on June 13 and are planned to last for two weeks.

Norpell started off working in a variety of fields before starting his own design company in 1980, providing advertising design services for companies. During that time, his sculptures began to appear in art galleries all over the country. He started working in “bas reliefs” a type of sculpture that builds outward from a flat background. His subject is typically architecture and focuses more on the building’s character than just its anatomy.

Gorman’s painting mixes all different styles.

He paints and draws in a frenzy with quick, energetic motions with thoughts from the brain going immediately into the brush. In one painting, he might use spray paint, stencils,

traditional brush strokes, Pollock-esque paint drippings, hand-written words and textured painting.

“It’s fun to watch him paint,” Lurie said. “He puts a lot of passion into it.”

Gorman has more than 1,900 paintings in circulation in Los Angeles and around the world. He has three times received the Presidential Seal of Approval for Artist of the Year.

Nanook and the Weightlifters: Up-and-coming

By Alec Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com It’s an odd name for a band, but a memorable one.

Meet Nanook and the local acts Weightlifters. There is Justin Blanner, the lead singer and guitarist; Zach Salerno, the bassist; Kyle Curtis, guitarist and Nick Konkoli, the drummer. All of them are around age 16, with Blanner residing in Fishers and Salerno, Curtis and Konkoli residing in Carmel.

“We have a pretty wide repertoire, but I would say we lean towards rock, jazzier stuff in the rock realm,” Blanner said about his band’s musical style.

The band started two or three years ago, according to Blanner, when they were playing music at Carmel’s School of Rock. As for its name, it came from something in Konkoli’s basement when he and Curtis were hanging out.

“We made up the band name as a joke, because there’s a Frank Zappa song, and he refers to a guy named Nanook,” Konkoli said, “and I just thought it was funny, and there was weights in my band room, and so I said ‘Nanook and the Weightlifters’, and we went with it. It’s funny.”

The band at a show last year.

The band became official last July. They released their first song via Soundcloud in August, “Electric Hour”. They have also played a number of events, including an IndyStarhosted talent show in October at Morty’s Comedy Club, a Mardi Gras celebration hosted by the Traders Point Hunt Club and “The Night to Unite” event at the Athenaeum in March.

One of the talent show judges, Tim Wright, noticed their talent, and was impressed with how they played. He stayed in touch, saw them rehearse, and then heard them play at Ben & Ari’s last December. Wright, a member of the Wright Brothers Band, was impressed with this performance, too.

“I was grinning from ear to ear because

I just thought, ‘Wow, here it is, these young guys … it just reminded me of my own experience growing up and just falling in love with playing in a band so much, and now I see that same energy, that same passion with these young guys, and I just really thought, ‘Wow, that would be so cool if they got a few gigs around here and got known because they’re that good. They’re a really good band,” Wright said.

Looking ahead to the future, Blanner hopes to get an album produced, and keep the band going through high school and beyond.

“We all hope it does. Whether or not it actually does is hard to foresee, but we would like it to,” Blanner said.

Fohl, Hayden to pair at The Warehouse

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com It’s an odd pairing, but one the Indy community is bound to love in a performance featuring multiinstrumentalists Liz Fohl performance and Shannon Hayden at The Warehouse on June 20.

Fohl, an Indiana native now living in Los Angeles, has experienced a music career sprawling all over the American map.

Over the years Fohl has used her musical expertise to land frequent gigs and performances at places like Howl at the Moon in Indianapolis, a dueling piano bar rife with multi-instrument covers of audience favorites.

“They’ll ask to play something typical, and then the next minute they’re asking for Spongebob,” Fohl said.

Fohl’s musical style, which spans the gamut from solo acoustic melodies to highly produced electronica seen more in her commercial work, blends her multi-instrumental expertise for soulful explorations of life and the like. Her latest EP, “Old

Trouble,” was released in 2014.

Hayden, whose cello training began at the young age of 7, first heard the instrument being played on a recording The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” and counts multi-instrumentalists like Bjork and Japanese noise punk artist Melt Banana as major influences.

“When I was 14 or 15, I started playing in bands with guitar and really started learning about improvising and writing,” Hayden said. “I hadn’t really expanded my cello into the world of guitar. At that point, I thought “You know, what if I use my guitar pedals on my cello?’

Hayden says she never turned her back on classical music, though, incorporating her training into her songwriting on a regular basis.

Creating her first album in college, Hayden has made a career out of “filling the space” in every venue she’s played in, including the Troubador in West Hollywood.

Tickets for the show, which begins 7 p.m. on June 20, begin at $20 in advance. For more, visit liveforthemusic.com.

Cataracts: not always so obvious Commentary by Tammy Wittman

June is Cataract Awareness month. Many people mistakenly think a cataract is a film on your eye. It is actually a eye care clouding of the lens inside your eye. This is something that happens over time in most cases but also can be present at birth. Currently there are 20 million people in the United States with cataracts and it is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40 and the primary cause of blindness in the world.

Symptoms of cataracts may not be obvious when they are beginning. But as they progress you may experience more glare from headlights or lamps. You may see halos around light posts. You may also feel your windshield or glasses are dirty but cleaning them doesn’t help.

There are several things that can contribute to the development of cataracts. Your lens is made of mostly of protein and water. As we age the proteins begin to clump together and form a cloud in the lens. Also, a lifetime exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun causes a yellowing of the lens which is another form of cataract.

There are things we can do to help prevent them. First avoid or protect yourself from the causes of cataracts. Also, some studies have shown that certain nutrients may reduce cataract risk. Those would be antioxidants like

The Little Clinic comes to town

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents now have a quick and easy clinic to go to for all minor injuries and illnesses. The Little Clinic, healthcare a retail health care clinic and subsidiary of Kroger, opened June 8 inside the Westfield Kroger at 161st and Spring Mill Road.

The Little Clinic is equipped with nurse practitioners who are authorized to diagnose and treat illnesses such as strep throat, colds, bronchitis and more. They are able to write prescriptions, which the patient can have filled at the Kroger pharmacy if they wish.

“We are more affordable, more accessible and we have a larger scope of practice,” Beth Pretti, regional clinic director, said. “We can see more than some of the other retail clinics, and we give the patient a ‘wow’ experience in helping them with their health care needs.”

Pretti said that the clinic takes insured and self-paid patients, and they treat all ages from 18 months and older.

The Little Clinic has 160 clinics in nine states, and eight of those are in the central Indiana region. Another clinic is staged to open in Carmel on June 18.

No appointment is necessary, and the clinic

The clinic can also provide preventative health screenings and a variety of vaccines, including travel vaccines.

“Convenience is the primary reason why patients choose The Little Clinic,” Pretti said.

“We are open seven days a week and evenings and we don’t require appointments. The Little Clinic helps patients get in, get seen and get back to life.”

Carmel-based dog treat company expands into warehouse space

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

When Sean Litke stared his store Canine Cloud Nine, one of his goals was to have a venue to sell his homemade Growth dog treats, such as healthy chicken jerky.

He calls his line Cosmo’s Superior Foods and it’s now a separate company that has expanded so much that they have opened a warehouse space in Carmel to increase production.

Litke recently leased a 2,300-square-foot warehouse in downtown Carmel off of Third Avenue.

Growth has been fast for the local company. In 2014, the company grew 500 percent and Litke said he’s on pace to grow another 400 percent in 2015, making a totally of 1,200 percent growth over three years. He said he should sell more than 12,000 pounds in the next 12 months, compared to 3,500 last year.

Actually, in his first 39 days of 2015, he had already surpassed his sales for 2014.

“It’s a little bit terrifying to be honest be-

cause of the rate of growth,” he said. “We’re projected to grow four times over for the third year in a row. It went from just trying to get it out there to just trying to keep it on the shelves in my store to filling orders that were the size of our entire volume last year. You have to try to ramp up to do an entire year’s volume in a month.”

The new space will help him bring on ten new employees and keep his business local.

“We’re pretty small still but much, much better to have a little extra space,” he said.

Memorial Chapel of St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Lübeck and the bells of St. Mary’s Commentary by Don Knebel

Lübeck, in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, was one of the most important cities in Europe during travel the late Middle Ages. Today, the city features magnificent medieval architecture and a poignant message from World War II. Henry the Lion, a powerful German prince, founded Lübeck in 1159 on an island surrounded by rivers linking the German interior to the Baltic Sea. Controlled by local merchants, the town put its wealth into imposing buildings.

Lübeck’s grandest architectural achievement was twin-towered St. Mary’s Church, erected adjacent the town hall from 1250 to 1350.

Lacking sandstone, builders executed in brick the Gothic style becoming popular further south, creating what remains, at 126 feet, the world’s tallest brick vault. The design of St. Mary’s inspired dozens of imitators around the Baltic. By the 15th century, Lübeck was the “Queen City” of the Hanseatic League, an alliance of northern European market towns.

In the early morning hours of March 29, 1942, Palm Sunday, 234 Royal Air Force bomb-

ers attacked Lübeck in the first substantial air raid on a German city. Buildings were set afire by a combination of blockbuster bombs and incendiary devices. About 20 percent of the town was destroyed and 301 residents were killed in the resulting firestorm. Three of Lübeck’s ancient churches were severely damaged. Bells hanging in the 410-feet high towers of St. Mary’s reportedly rang out as they fell into the blazing church.

Visitors to Lübeck, a UNESCO World Heritage site, can walk up a curving cobblestone street from the single remaining town gate to the old town center, passing gabled townhouses of 13th century merchants. The most significant medieval structures have been meticulously restored, with one notable exception. The shattered bells of St. Mary’s lie in a small corner chapel, just as they alighted, a reminder that war’s devastation respects neither religion nor history.

On being ‘pedantic’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Mr. Fischer, you may have heard about Jeb Bush’s run-in with a college student this week who seemed grammar guy to be grammatically challenged. Perhaps your column could deal with the proper use of the word ‘pedantic’ when berating a politician.

Love your column. You rain! I mean, reign.”

(John Reichmann, Westfield) Answer: You know, John, people might say this column is a sterling example of pedantry in its own right. That being said: Onto Mr. Bush’s run-in with Ms. Ivy Ziedrich.

A little bit of background, courtesy of the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro: Jeb Bush had just finished a town hall meeting at the University of Nevada when 19-year-old Ivy Ziedrich asked him if he would take a student question.

She then proceeded to, as John puts it, “berate” Bush about how his brother’s presidential policies had, in her view, directly contributed to the rise of the Islamic State, concluding her statement by saying, “Your brother created ISIS.” Bush responded with, “All right. Is that a question?” At which point Ziedrich suggested he was being pedantic.

So, was he?

Pedantry is an “excessive concern with minor details and rules” or an “excessive or inappropriate display of learning.”

Politicians frequently resort to pedantry to avoid tough questions – attacking the form of a question, rather than answering it directly.

Probably the best example of political pedantry is former President Bill Clinton’s infamous “it depends upon what the definition of ‘is,’ is,” statement.

On the other hand, as anyone who has ever been to a city council meeting can tell you, many people are looking to turn a questionand-answer opportunity into a diatribe against whatever it is they’ve decided needs yelling about.

The bottom line here is, if you want a politician to answer your question, it needs to be formed thus, and not as exposition. And, while I’m confident Mr. Bush has been plenty pedantic in the past, it does not seem like his comments fit the definition here.

The time is now to start outdoor projects. (Submitted photo)

Summer-proof living space

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Consumer confidence is very strong and our suppliers are struggling to meet demand.

Oddly, there is a national outdoors shortage of respectable size trees and shrubs as a result of growers’ reluctance to spend heavily on planting seedlings during the recession.

Homebuilders are smiling again and breaking ground on additions regularly. It’s an exciting time to be in business and the ugly economics of a few years ago are a distant memory.

Although, the lessons are still fresh.

SECOND CHAPTER A fair amount of the demand is driven by curious homeowners wondering whether to move or to update. Many are past clients where we accomplished a major renovation that they love.

But they are wondering if they should give their home another round of updates. Or not. Sort of like the next chapter in the life of their home.

What about you? Is your outdoor living space ready for the next chapter or phase?

Phasing is a brilliant strategy … completing

phase one now and implementing additional phases as budgets and appetites merge.

Chapter two has a different purpose than that. An incredible outdoor living space already exists and the thrilled family is wondering if there is more. And, of course, there is.

MATURING LIFESTYLES Materials and styles have changed. Our interests and lifestyles change too as we have children, kids move on to college or get married. Grilling out becomes more compelling and escaping from the sun imperative.

Thus, the perennial debate: to update or to move. We all have our own criteria to measure. ROI, walkabilitly, the hassle of moving, opening up the interior floor plan, renovated bathroom/kitchen, solid outdoor roof structure, outdoor fireplace and the list goes on.

Is your home ready for chapter two?

Kitchens with fewer cabinets: New looks and new options Commentary by David Decker

At the Affordable Companies, we’ve often talked about why cabinetry design is so integral to the overall look renovations of your kitchen; cabinets take up a lot of space.

As a result, a new, space-saving kitchen trend is steering homeowners away from overloading on cabinetry in favor of new, creative storage solutions. Many designers are reducing the number of upper cabinets, and some are eliminating them altogether. What can you do with that extra wall space in your kitchen?

And how can you still have enough storage in the kitchen without upper cabinets? Read on and discover for yourself a few fresh ideas that you may want to work in to your next kitchen remodel project.

The biggest benefit to streamlining your cabinetry design is increased space. Reducing the number of upper cabinets increases the vertical space available in your kitchen. The extra wall space is yours to design as you see fit. Instead of cabinetry you can use the extra space to install new windows or expand your existing ones. Enjoy the extra sunshine while cooking, cleaning and entertaining. And the fact that increased light makes rooms looks more spacious is just an added bonus. The extra vertical space could also be used to display artwork or decorative elements that add a wow factor to your kitchen. Breaking from tradition will make your home appear unique and contemporary and will surely make an impression on your guests.

It’s true; fewer upper cabinets could mean decreased storage space if you don’t replace the cabinets with any extra form of storage.

And less storage could even lead to one of modern home design’s biggest enemies: clutter. Clutter is distracting and causes a loss of

functionality in the room, which is something no one wants.

The innovative thing about using less upper cabinetry is that it can allow you to incorporate more creative storage options that may end up being a better use of space. For example you can try: Freestanding furniture pieces such as cupboards or bookshelves can boost storage while also creating a unique focal point in the room.

Add a window seat complete with built-in storage to house rarely used things like small appliances or seasonal decorations.

Redesign the pantry to increase storage space. You could even do a remodel to create a new, larger, walk-in pantry if you’re up for some construction.
