sive as the traditional display.

“As far as the intensity and beauty, I believe we’re going to give you a fantastic show that Carmel can be very proud of,” Worrell said.

The fireworks will be launched from West Park for the west side of the city, near Carmel Drive and Chase Court for central Carmel and Badger Fields for the east side.

The sites will be closed to the public during the show.

Atomic clocks at each launch site will synchronize the shows so residents will see the exact same show at the exact same time, no matter which one they watch.

“I hope this gives us all something to look forward to,” Worrell said. “It is a great honor to be able to continue the longstanding tradition of celebrating CarmelFest in Carmel, Indiana. This year will maybe have a little asterisk next to it, but it wasn’t canceled.”

Needler’s project bonds approved

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council’s land use committee voted 3-1 in favor of $2.5 million in bonds to upgrade the Brookshire Village Shoppes retail REDEVELOPMENT center.

The bonds would be repaid through tax increment financing, which collects the additional taxes generated by upgrades in an area to pay for the improvements. Developer KennMar would be responsible to cover any shortfalls.

Needler’s Fresh Market is expected to anchor the site, but its expansion into Carmel is dependent on the bonds being approved.

The city council will make the final decision on the bonds at its June 15 meeting.

KennMar and Needler’s anticipate spending more than $5 million to improve the aging retail center on the southwest corner of 126th Street and Gray Road with an updated facade and enhanced entrance features. The anchor space housed O’Malia Food Market until 2017, when its parent company went out of business.

Councilor Tony Green, who heads the

committee, voted against the bonds, saying he wants to see a market study on the long-term sustainability of a grocery store.

Councilor Tim Hannon joined councilors Kevin “Woody” Rider and Adam Aasen in voting in favor of the project after learning that Needler’s lease on the site is for 10 years. KennMar President and CEO Brent Benge said the contract allows Needler’s to opt out at the 5-year mark if it doesn’t hit a certain number of sales. Benge didn’t provide the number but said it is “a figure easily achievable for them.”

If Needler’s were to leave before five years, Benge said the grocer would have to pay the remaining term on the contract and reimburse the unamortized costs.

“It would be a rather expensive penalty for them to leave in such a short time frame,” Benge said.

Benge said some of the center’s other tenants indicated they didn’t want to stay unless an anchor tenant was found. He said the center is more than 80 percent occupied and that he is in discussions with other potential tenants for the former bank building and vacant space next to Needler’s site.

6-story building planned on Main

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A six-story, mixed-use building is proposed on .78 acres along Main Street west of Guilford Road.

DEVELOPMENT The 104,000-squarefoot building, known as L’Etoile, is planned to have 4,500 square feet of retail on the first floor with 60 apartments on the top five floors. An 87-space parking deck also is proposed.

“I think this continues the effort to provide a variety of living opportunities for our residents in a walkable urban environment that will reinforce the vision of a truly diverse and inviting city,” said Daniel Moriarity, principal at Carmel-based Studio M Architecture and Planning, which is designing the project.

L’Etoile is proposed to have a range of living options from studio to two-bedroom units, reserved tenant parking with solar collector shading and electric car charging stations, and 16 onsite individual office spaces for tenant use in a “live-work” situation, Moriarity said.

A six-story building with retail on the ground floor and 60 apartments above is proposed at 833 Main St. (Submitted rendering)

“The exterior design is intended to generate an active and inviting streetscape that allows close interaction between the first floor amenity spaces and the street side plaza that takes advantage of the generous setback from the street,” Moriarity said.

“A traditional masonry skin will frame a curtainwall façade that allows the units to have the maximum amount of window wall available for the living areas.”

The vacant site was previously home to a two-story, 8,100-square-foot office building that has been demolished.

TO OUR READERS: Thank you for supporting Current in Carmel and its advertisers by reading our edition each week. We fully understand how fortunate we are to have the level of loyal readership we enjoy (92 percent in each of 33,886 households – SMARI, Inc.). We are proud of and grateful for being the purveyor of local news and information that, in many cases, cannot otherwise be consumed.

Whatever your reason or reasons for continuing to use Current in Carmel as your local news source, your support means the world to us.

Now, we have a favor to ask. In light of the recent economic downturn and rising postal and newsprint increases, we have decided to institute a voluntary pay program. Believe it or not, your help with a $25 contribution for one year of receiving Current in Carmel will make a significant difference to our employees and to our operation. If you’re curious as to how that $25 affects Current, it takes $0.49 per paper to produce and deliver, and the $25 equates to $0.48 per piece.

We will continue, unabated, to deliver quality and factual news and information to Carmel, and we will continue to support the community’s not-for-profits with advertising at no cost as we have since our founding in 2006. On that subject, we surpassed $2.5 million in donated advertising space at the end of 2019 for all our markets, and we’re not stopping there.

We’re honored to play that role.

Twenty-five dollars may not seem like a game changer to many in our midst, but it would make a huge, positive impact for Current in Carmel and its locally generated journalism.

In the meantime, we will continue doing what we started back in 2006, and that’s PROVING NEWSPAPERS WORK and seeing to it that Current in Carmel arrives uninterrupted in your mailboxes each week.

Thank you for your consideration, and we sincerely salute you for reading the local journalism Current in Carmel provides.

“I DONATED BECAUSE CURRENT IS MY ONLY SOURCE FOR THE LOCAL NEWS I NEED AND WANT. LOCAL JOURNALISM MATTERS TO ME.”

JASON RANDLETT, CARMEL RESIDENT

Again, this purely is voluntary. To those inclined to participate, we sincerely thank you. To those who may wish to consider before doing so, the same. And to those who, for whatever reason, cannot participate, we understand and respect that and your contemplation.

Continued from Page 11 Those who donated to Perusse’s GoFundMe campaign are eligible to receive their money back. GoFundMe issued a statement regarding how it handles scams: “Campaigns with misuse are very rare, and we take all complaints very seriously. If a misuse of funds takes place on GoFundMe, donors are protected and their donations are refunded. Our team works with law enforcement to report issues and assists them in investigations. Our platform is backed by the GoFundMe Guarantee, which means that funds are guaranteed to go to the right place or donors will get a refund. In the rare case that GoFundMe, law enforcement or a user finds campaigns are misused, donors are

fully protected. At the end of the day, what matters most to us is that our users are protected and those who need help get the help they deserve.”

Epperson said Perusse’s doctor said he was treating her for migraines.

“He said the last scan was an MRI from 2015 and it didn’t show anything,” Epperson said.

Epperson said her doctor was concerned he had missed something.

“I said, ’No, I’m more of the impression that this may have been a scam,’” Epperson said.

Current found other inconsistencies in Perusse’s story.

She had said her mother died suddenly when she was 9, but Perusse didn’t want to give a cause of death. Actually her mother, Patti, had left Perusse with her adoptive father

when she was young and still is living in Colorado. Perusse also lied about her age, saying she was 42 in 2019.

Fishers resident Mark Benham, who adopted Perusse at a young age while married to her biological mother, said the autopsy confirmed suspicions the family had about the cancer.

“There was no way, one way or another, we could tell if she was telling the truth,” Benham said. “She had cut off the relationship with us for the last few years. It’s an unfortunate situation. She had her issues, obviously. We just never knew when she was telling the truth.”

The Carmel Police Dept. investigated the situation and determined no one else was involved in Perusse’s deception, so no charges will be filed.

CCHS museum reopens

By Calina He news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society reopened the Monon Depot Museum June 5 with the exhibit “Fashionable EXHIBIT Society: Civil War to Post-War Textiles of Carmel,” which will be on display through Aug. 21.

“We titled it ‘Fashionable Society’ because Carmel itself has a reputation of being an artistic city with fashion stores and art galleries,” said Amy Grove, CCHS museum director.

Grove said display pieces range from beauty supplies to fashion items.

“We displayed around 20 clothing pieces, eight hats and over 100 individual items,” Grove said. “We have clothing pieces dated from the 1850s, the pre-Civil War period, to the 1950s, the post-(World War II) period.”

The exhibit features men’s, women’s and children’s clothing.

“The exhibit was intended for all ages,” Grove said. “There are pieces that people in their 60s can recognize and there are pieces our elderly citizens will recognize. For the children, we had a mirror put up for them to compare their clothes to the exhibit items.”

CCHS took precautionary measures to allow a safe reopening. Debbie Gangstad, executive director of CCHS, said employees use antibacterial wipes throughout the exhibition. Visitors are offered hand sanitizer.

“Before we reopened, we cleaned and sanitized the depot,” Gangstad said. “We asked all our visitors and employees to wear masks (and) limited the number of people coming inside the depot to three at a time.”

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Author gives books to Head Start

By Emma Uber news@currentincarmel.com From the sun to plants to children’s toys, science can be found everywhere in daily life.

GIVING BACK Carmel resident Stephanie Ryan noticed the parallels between chemistry and her young son’s sorting games, so she wrote a children’s book that taught science through comparisons to everyday objects. What started as a PowerPoint to teach her son the basics of science became a book called, “Let’s Learn About Chemistry.”

Several community members supported the project through a Kickstarter campaign.

Ryan raised more money than her initial goal, so she invested back into the community with a donation of books worth $8,200 to the Indiana Head Start Association, a school-readiness program that serves low-income families with children up to age 5. Ryan met with IHSA officials to donate 590 copies of her book, enough for every IHSA program in the state to receive at least one book.

Ryan hopes that “Let’s Learn About Chem-

istry” will foster curiosity in STEM fields from a young age.

“I think (supporting IHSA) is important because it’s equity in science,” she said. “I think that science is for everybody. It’s not just for people who can afford it. It’s really important to show kids from all over that they’re able to become a scientist.”

“Let’s Learn About Chemistry” was released on Amazon and other platforms on June 2.

Shifting gears Dave Shepherd turns success on basketball court to insurance world

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dave Shepherd’s life took a bit of a turn when a drunk driver crossed the centerline. He found himself lying in the road after his car was hit.

“I had a little talk with the man COVER STORY upstairs to get me through this. I know there are more important things than basketball,” he said. “It was painful. Broken ribs, broken jaw. Thank God I had a seat belt on.” Shepherd got out of the car and fell to the ground.

Shepherd, then an Indiana University sophomore, was headed back home to Carmel on Ind. 37 when the accident occurred. He had just participated in the first practice at Assembly Hall in October 1971.

Shepherd, who celebrates his 50th year since wearing the No. 1 jersey as Indiana Mr. Basketball this month, returned to play that season for the Hoosiers. However, the Carmel High School graduate wasn’t himself.

“I suffered a broken ankle that was slow to heal,” he said. “My mouth was wired shut for six weeks. I should have redshirted but we only had eight players.

I came back at the first of the year but was 60 percent (physically).

“Up to that point of laying out in the highway not knowing if I’d make it or not, sports was 100 percent (of life). After that, I’d say it was 75 percent.”

Shepherd had been recruited by former IU coach Lou Watson. At the time, freshmen weren’t eligible to play varsity. Watson was replaced by Bob Knight for the 1971-72 season. After playing in 11 games that season, Shepherd figured he didn’t fit in Knight’s plans and transferred to the University of Mississippi. Following a redshirt season, he led the Rebels in scoring for two seasons.

Shepherd started selling insurance before his final season at Ole Miss. In 1977, he founded the Shepherd Insurance agency in Carmel with few resources. Yet, he had contacts through the basketball world and proved to be a natural at sales.

“Winning Mr. Basketball is like branding. You can’t get away from it,” Shepherd said. “There’s a mystique to the honor, and you get to meet a lot of cool, nice people.

That’s what life is all about. That honor has afforded me things the average guy doesn’t get to do. It’s one of the greatest things that has happened to our family.”

His older brother, Billy Shepherd, was named Mr. Basketball in 1968. Both played at CHS for their late father, Bill Shepherd Sr. “I’m as proud as what (Shepherd Insurance) has done

Clockwise from left, Billy Shepherd, Bill Shepherd Sr., Dave Shepherd and Steve Shepherd. (Submitted photos)

in business as what we’ve done in sports,” said Dave Shepherd, a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and Insurance Business America Hall of Fame. “I don’t know if a lot of guys can say that. The effect we have on 350 to 400 employees. They do a lot for us. Internally, from a financial standpoint, how we can help that many people and their families is really rewarding.”

Shepherd and his wife, Sally, have homes in Carmel and North Naples, Fla. Florida is his primary residence.

Shepherd became chairman of the board this year while his son, Quinn, became chief executive officer.

Shepherd mainly concentrates on acquisitions and spends time in the offices in Arizona and Florida. Shepherd Insurance has 26 agencies in six states.

Teaming up with Broadstreet Partners, a capital investor, in 2016 enabled Shepherd Insurance to expand its growth.

Jeff Kweder, a former golfer at Ohio State University, joined the company more than 35 years ago.

“We had three people. Now, we’ve got near 400 people,” said Kweder, company president and partner. “The most important thing is Dave was never afraid to keep putting (poker) chips in the middle, investing and working hard. A lot of that goes with his basketball mentality.

Just outwork everybody, be tenacious, treat people right, hire the best people and be honest and ethical.”

Billy Shepherd said there are similarities between his brother’s basketball and business careers.

From left, Dave Shepherd, father/coach Bill Shepherd Sr. and Billy Shepherd formed a powerful basketball trio in late 1960s.

“When you are 5-foot-10 and you are the underdog all the time, you always have to go out and prove yourself,” Billy said. “There was no doubt he was able to do that athletically, and he was able to carry that over to his business environment. The lesson you learn in sports can carry over in life, and I think David is a great example of that.”

His brother has become the consummate point guard.

“He sees what everyone brings to the table and he’s able to get a little more out of him than the normal person,” Billy said.

BRAGGING RIGHTS In addition to being Mr. Basketball, Dave Shepherd’s best basketball memory is reaching the state championship game in 1970 before losing to East Chicago Roosevelt. He set the state single-season points record, averaging 37.2 points per game that year.

“Fifty years is a long time to hold a record,” Shepherd said. “I’m surprised that record is still around.”

It’s become a running joke with former IU standout Steve Alford since Shepherd scored 1,079 and Alford scored 1,078 for New Castle in the 1982-83 season. Shepherd said he always holds up a single finger when he sees Alford to indicate his one-point advantage.

ESSAY

LETTER

Handy excuses

Militarizing police dishonors oath

Commentary by Terry Anker We all have our shortcomings. Perhaps our third-grade teacher inadvertently led us to believe that we weren’t very good at coloring, and it stuck. Now, we break out in a cold sweat each time we are in one of those restaurants that have placemats designed to be filled in as we await the service of our food. Any children along at the table will be given crayons and urge us to participate.

Maybe our limitations are biological.

We couldn’t tell the size of a parallel parking spot without the assistance of thousands of dollars of sensor gear installed in our automobiles. Expensively, we misjudge the distance from the front of our car to the garage wall.

Whatever the origination, we learn to know and understand the bounds of what we can be expected to accomplish.

Good. Over-commitment leads to stress in us and disappointment in others.

Now, as all manner of plague seems to have descended on us, we have more debilitations and handicaps in completing our routines than ever in recent memory. Streets are closed. Curfews and other government orders capture us in home detention. Even spring storms seem to urge us to hit the snooze button in the morning and pull the covers over our heads. What could we hope to accomplish, anyway?

Having taken to online delivery and routine carryout, we have learned that some of us are able to adjust more handily than others. Many purveyors have stock delivered days before expected while some delay for weeks, then abruptly cancel. Most “help” desks now keep customers at bay for hours on end — all the while repeatedly lecturing us on their commitment to our health and popular social causes. What about customer service? Why do some overcome our legitimate challenges and others seem prone to hide behind any handy excuse?

Favoring my friendly flora family Commentary by Danielle Wilson It recently occurred to me that I might care more for my plants than I do my children. That sounds terrible and, HUMOR of course, it’s an exaggeration, but I’ve noticed that in the summer I much prefer weeding, watering and dead-heading my garden to cooking, cleaning and managing my offspring. What gives?

I think the main reason is that even though my kids are old enough to take care of themselves, they aren’t to the point where they can completely adult (verb), so there’s this weird dynamic happening in our house where I still want to enforce chores and curfews and they perpetually want to give me the finger.

Snapdragons and squash are far nicer to live with. They don’t roll their eyes or leave their cereal bowls on the coffee table. They don’t listen to “The Office” at high volume or constantly “borrow” cash for gas (like I’ll

ever see that money again). Sure, a tomato plant can’t tell me it loves me, but when it blossoms and a tiny green orb begins to grow, it’s basically the same thing.

I’ve also noticed that my garden floras are far better listeners than my precious little angels. Not once has a zinnia interrupted or a foxglove texted while I shared my innermost thoughts and concerns. And I’ve never experienced moments of awkward silence with my ferns or begonias. They seem happy just to have me near, gently pruning and fertilizing, unlike my heirs who flee as soon as I try to engage because they think I’m going to lecture them on laundry etiquette. Which I probably am.

That’s why I prefer my plants!

Peace out.

Snapdragons and squash are far nicer to live with. They don’t roll their eyes or leave their cereal bowls on the coffee table.

Editor, Two days ago I talked with badged, helpful and courteous Carmel police officers as our citizens — many of them high school students — exercised their First Amendment rights in a local protest. On the same day, I watched anonymous, gray-armoured and jackbooted young warriors “guarding” the Lincoln Memorial against protesters who were exercising their First Amendment rights.

I watched military attacks on peaceful protesters before the White House.

It occurred to me that “serve and protect” remains the highest duty of law enforcement. And “Duty, Honor, Country” remains the credo of our military. Both branches exist to serve the American people and uphold the Constitution. It dishonors the oath to militarize the police, as I saw in Washington. By contrast, in Carmel, I saw the oath enacted in a positive way. I hope that this ensured those young protesters of their basic rights and that their voices were heard.

Editor, George Floyd’s death was not subtle but has made me consider our society’s many subtle racist attitudes.

Our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” is ironically symbolic of the underlying subtle unspoken racial bias that permeates these United States. This anthem was derived from a poem written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, a man who owned Africans as slaves and was an avowed racist who considered Africans an inferior race. He tried to stop Abolitionists from even voicing their opinion about slavery.

The third stanza of his original poem referenced seeking out and killing “hirelings and slaves” who were fleeing to the British to seek their freedom. Clearly, the “land of the free” did not refer to African slaves whose descendants are now “African Americans.” Despite this, “The Star-Spangled Banner” became our official national anthem in 1931, despite the abolition of slavery almost 70 years before. Racism was much less subtle then; just ask any Klu Klux Klan

member. It took another 33 years before the Civil Rights Act was passed, but even then, racism was more open and less subtle.

Fast-forward to 2016, when an African American athlete sits for the national anthem and other athletes follow suit by kneeling. There has been an uproar among mostly white, but even some black citizens, that this is disrespectful to our flag and country and those in the military who defend us. I wonder how many of those opposed see the irony in a society that holds on to an anthem that was so disrespectful to African slaves and now expects their descendent African Americans to stand and pay respect to the same anthem. I’m surprised that any true American, let alone an African American, would not demand there be a change. And this is just a song, a tradition. It is a symbol for all the other under-the-surface ways our society holds onto our subtle racial biases. We should all kneel and pray we find a better way.

Keep cool (and safe) in the pool Commentary by Cindy Love Pools are a wonderful way to cool off and have fun during the summer. However, the Centers for Disease Control CHILDREN and Prevention reports that drowning is the leading cause of death for children between age 1 and 4.

Make your pool safe Backyard pools should be surrounded by at least a 4-foot fence with a locked gate to prevent a child from entering a pool unattended. Consider a pool alarm to alert you if someone falls into the pool. Inflatable pools can pose a risk as a child can lean against the side and fall face-first into the pool.

Keep these pools drained unless an adult is supervising. If a child is missing, always check the pool first.

Use appropriate floatation devices If a child can’t swim, he or she needs to wear a floatation device to stay safe.

Life jackets or “puddle jumpers” are good options for children until they learn how to swim confidently. Inflatable “floaties” are not safe as they can deflate, or a child can slide them off on their own.

Start swim classes early It’s important for children to not fear the water and learn survival skills such as float-

ing and treading water. Swim lessons don’t ever replace supervision around water!

Plan for supervision Adult supervision is key to keeping children safe. Avoid being distracted by other activities, such as reading or a cellphone, even if a lifeguard is present. Children under age 5 should always be within “touch” supervision of an adult. If your child is going swimming with a friend’s family or babysitter, let them know about your child’s swimming abilities.

Aria, Versiti partner to treat COVID-19

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Aria Diagnostics has been testing hundreds of people since March for the new coronavirus virus that PANDEMIC causes COVID-19.

“As we started down this path with Aria Diagnostics, we wanted to find out who has it in an effort to flatten the curve, but we had interest in figuring out the other side of this disease,” Aria co-founder Zak Kahn said.

Aria Diagnostics, 5635 W. 96th St. in Indianapolis, announced May 29 it will partner with Versiti Blood Center to identify and provide convalescent plasma donors to aid in the recovery of COVID-19 patients.

Kahn, a Carmel resident, said clinical trials and hospital usage show that patients who receive convalescent plasma are recovering from COVID-19 at positive rates.

“We are turning our patients over to Versiti, who is providing that plasma to hospitals right now,” Kahn said. “We’re seeing

this work in patients.”

Dr. Dan A. Waxman, Versiti vice president of transfusion medicine blood services, said potential donors must first be proven to have had a COVID-19 diagnosis through a positive lab test result, which Aria provides, and must be symptom-free for 14 days.

Carmel Film Forum will feature Stop Motion Animation presentation

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The fourth Carmel Film Forum will not only tackle a new subject but also a new format.

FILMMAKING Professional animator Lisa Barcy will be the featured presenter at the Stop Motion Animation Celebration webinar.

“She has a wonderful body of work,” said James E. Moriarty, founder of the event and Moriarty Media.

Barcy “She was going to do a hands-on workshop with us at the library, but because of COVID-19, it became virtual.”

The Carmel resident said the Film Forum was restructured so Barcy, from Chicago, can lead a free virtual webinar from 2 to 4 p.m. June 20 and 27. It will consist of two sessions, co-hosted by Moriarty Media and Carmel Clay Public Library’s Audiovisual Services Supervisor Sara O’Sha. Barcy will teach animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut-outs and 3-D objects at the first session.

“The Film Forum is all about getting your hands dirty and doing things,” Moriarty said. “We’re basically going to teach how to make animation from your cellphone.

This class is for beginners for Stop Motion and would be good for the animation-curious people in your life. You don’t know how to do all these techniques. We’re going to train from the get-go. We’ll teach drawing techniques.”

Participants will be encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated, and upload the clips by June 25 to be judged. The winner will receive a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $300 value.

“You don’t need to have sound. It doesn’t need to be fancy,” Moriarty said.

“You just have to apply things you’ve learned in the class.”

Barcy will announce the winner at the

June 27 session. All animated clips will have been edited into a musical montage for screening. The entire winning clip will be shown.

There will be a clip of Barcy’s work and a Q&A session with Barcy will follow.

“It’s nice to learn how people do things who can collaborate with you and you can learn from their process and how they’ve built up their body of work over the years,” Moriarty said. “Lisa has got a great sense of humor and I think people will really be attracted to it.”

Previous forum topics have included screenwriting, preproduction and the business of filmmaking.

“All of our forums have applied application to it and something interactive or hands-on about them,” Moriarty said.

“We’ve got through creating a film, writing and producing it, and we’ve come back around to we wanted to do something even younger people can participate in, so

we did animation. Next year we will probably do documentary. We find someone in the community to share their body of work and experiences.”

Participants can register at carmelclaylibrary.org/event/4314576. Moriarty said a CCPL card isn’t required. A webinar link will be emailed to the participant, along with a program/curriculum and a list of tools, software and supplies needed for the workshop. Seats for the webinar are free but limited.

“With the library and its help, these things can grow their circle of influence to get people to see filmmaking as an art form,” Moriarty said. “The tools are at your fingertips. All you need is a phone and an app.”

The Carmel Film Forum is sponsored by CCPL, the City of Carmel, Moriarty Media and the Indy Film Fest.

Barcy’s animation can be viewed at vimeo.com/418560545.

The time is now to engage Commentary from Jeffrey C. McDermott The crux of being a good person, a great community and a great nation is a sense of empathy and PALLADIUM duty to protect and lift up those in harm’s way. Recent events and nationwide protests demonstrate that COVID-19 is not the only “pandemic” we face. Systemic racism and injustice is an insidious virus that good people must work to eradicate.

The Center for the Performing Arts’ mission is to engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. We are part of the fabric and spirit of this community and have a responsibility to take action and be part of the solution.

To that end, we are recommitting ourselves to our core values of Excellence, Integrity, Collaboration, Innovation and, in particular, Inclusion. As first steps, we will implement diversity training for our staff and volunteers and redouble our efforts to engage a broader audience that reflects all of central Indiana.

Music can be a catalyst for change.

It represents a peaceful way to speak up, to speak out and to heal. It knows no geographic, socioeconomic or racial boundaries. Since the dawn of humanity, music has told stories of strife and triumph, loss and love. We at the Center recognize our unique position to participate in the storytelling and the healing, and we will do so.

While no single one of us can rectify the inequality and discrimination embedded in our culture, we can and must act now, make positive differences, protect and lift people up, and keep our eyes and ears wide open. An inspiring quotation often attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, “If I cannot do great things, I can still do small things in a great way.”

The time is now for each of us to do just that.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14029 Mundy Dr., Fishers What to get: Lamb chops Price: $7.99 a pound Anna’s take: Some people may still be a bit nervous about venturing out to restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the good thing is, they can venture to Almadina International Halal Foods, a small grocery in northern Fishers, and purchase items to make an excellent meal at home. Almadina let me sample lamb chops, lamb shank, several fresh pastries and kufta, which is a ground mix of cilantro, onion, spices and lamb. My favorite was the lamb chops.

Almadina sources its lamb from a farm in North Vernon, so it’s very fresh. It also has an excellent price point at $7.99 a pound,

Lamb chops with rosemary from Almadina International Halal Foods. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

which is much more affordable than many other local spots. I browned the chops in a pan, then roasted them in the oven with rosemary, lemon, garlic and olive oil, and it was so rich and delicious. For someone who rarely cooks, using the high-quality meat from Almadina and an easy-to-follow recipe, I was able to cook something fit for an Easter dinner.

Suggested pairings: I grabbed a cabernet sauvignon from the grocery, but I think any dry red would pair well with lamb.

Behind bars: Golden Hour (banana daiquiri) Get it at Field Brewing, Westfield Ingredients: 2 oz. amber rum, .75 oz. fresh lime juice, .5 oz. banana sugar, .25 oz. banana liqueur, lemon wheel and lime peel for garnish Directions: Shake all ingredients for 30 seconds and double-strain through conical strainer into coupe.

Garnish with a thinly sliced lime wheel to float and lime peel expressed over drink and rubbed on rim. To make the banana sugar, use 1 bunch of ripe bananas with 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups hot water and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blueprint for Improvement: Elevated screened porch at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The upper-level deck, located off the kitchen, was removed and replaced with a custom screened porch. New footers were installed in the ground to accommodate the addition.

2. The porch was designed to blend seamlessly with the existing home. Considerations were made when planning the roofline and, of course, in selecting materials to complement what was already there.

3. Aluminum balusters were added to the screened porch to provide an attractive safety feature.

4. The ceiling beams were painted in a contrasting color to accentuate the design detail.

THE CHALLENGE Located a few steps from Geist Reservoir, the owners of this 1995 home wanted to create additional living space for enjoying the outdoors. The home had plenty of open deck space along the back of the house, so the homeowners wanted to add an elevated screened-in area for dining and relaxing.

Organic food myths — Organic food isn’t free of pesticides and it isn’t necessarily better for you. Organic farmers are permitted to use chemicals that are naturally derived — and in some cases are worse for the environment than synthetic chemicals. Eating organic food also doesn’t come with any nutritional benefits compared to non-organic food, according to a review of 98,727 potentially relevant studies.
