Carmel could expand smoking ban to bars, private clubs

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As the City of Carmel considers banning vaping in public places, it may also stop allowing smoking in bars and clubs.

CITY NEWS Only a few businesses in Carmel still allow smoking, but several city councilors believe it’s time to outlaw it throughout the city, in large part to protect the health of employees who work at those establishments. The council’s finance, utilities and rules committee discussed prohibiting vaping and making the bans more comprehensive at a June 10 meeting.

Several Hamilton County residents expressed support for both changes at the meeting.

“We have to do something and we have to do something now. This is a perfect opportunity for Carmel to do more than just (ban) e-cigarettes to protect their residents,” said Stacy London, coalition coordinator for Breathe Easy Hamilton County. “If you haven’t looked at this policy for almost 10 years now, it’s really opening the door for you to go and protect employees and customers that go into restaurants.”

Several Indiana cities have comprehensive smoking bans, including South Bend, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Elkhart and Plainfield, among

others. The committee indicated it would likely meet again before the July 1 city council meeting, which is the earliest the council would vote on the changes. A committee meeting date has not been set.

The council began reviewing the smoking ordinance several weeks ago to address increased e-cigarette use at Carmel High School.

E-cigarettes are banned on campus, but school resource officers are limited in dealing with the issue with students who are 18 or older.

The proposed changes would make it a violation for people of all ages to vape in any public building, including schools.

CHS junior Isabel Jensen told the committee that vaping is “crazy rampant” at school, with students constantly using e-cigarettes in bathrooms and even in class.

“It’s so surreal. It’s gross, and it’s uncomfortable,” the 16-year-old said. “The bathrooms aren’t a big place and they’re vaping in them throughout the day. Students who don’t vape are going in there every day and they’re inhaling all this smoke that all these other kids are leaving out here, and they think it’s OK.” She said she was asked to speak about kids who want to quit vaping but that she doesn’t know of any.

“They don’t want to quit because they don’t think there’s a problem with it,” she said. “They want to keep doing it.”

For Michael Beresford, the 2018-19 school year was his first as superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools. He EDUCATION succeeded former Supt.

Nicholas Wahl, who resigned in 2017 during a turbulent year for the district.

At the June 10 Carmel Clay Schools board meeting, Beresford summarized major events and recurring themes from the year, including communications, school safety and instructional support, in the District Year End Review. He described the progress of various CCS projects as part of the review.

“We’ve got two new elementary schools going on. We’ve got safety enhancements going on this summer, and we’ve got Carmel High School reconstruction going on (as well as) normal maintenance,” he said.

Beresford recounted the unexpected challenges of the school year, noting the Dec. 26, 2018, Carmel High School explosion and highlighting the swift recovery efforts.

“There were a lot of near-misses where people could have gotten hurt by just debris,” he said. “Shortly after school starts, it will be all back together and we will be operating as we did before the explosion.

It’s pretty miraculous.”

Beresford also reflected on school safety as a growing concern in light of the May 2018 Noblesville West Middle School shooting. School safety, he said, requires a multilayered approach that accounts for external

threats, internal threats and mental health.

New security measures such as entryway reconstruction and online resources for parents and students were implemented during the school year.

“The teachers, the administrators, our families, we were all kind of rocked by (the shooting),” he said. “It just re-emphasizes that we’ve got to keep trying to add those layers of school safety.”

Beresford emphasized the role of the education system in the Carmel community throughout the school year.

“Almost everyone I met with said that people moved to Carmel because of the schools,” he said. “(Our schools) are a priority, and we’re going to take care of them.”

Looking for smiles

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Since winter of 2018, many Carmel residents have noticed an interesting addition on the hill near the CLAY TERRACE Clay Terrace Boulevard/Range Line Road entrance to Clay Terrace.

For the past six months, a pair of large black and white eyeballs has peered down from the top of the hill, making it look like a living creature. The hill has generated many comments on social media, with some residents guessing at the display’s purpose and who is behind it.

As it turns out, that person is Carmel citizen Jason Selburg, and the eyeballs are simply meant to make people smile.

Selburg, who lives near the hill but does not own it, said he was inspired after seeing a photo of beach ball eyes in a pine tree.

“I just thought, ‘That looks silly. Where could I do that?’” he said.

Selburg purchased a pair of white beach balls, painted them with black latex paint and affixed them to the top of the hill. He assumed the eyeballs might be moved when it came time for mowers to begin work in the spring. But Selburg was pleasantly surprised when workers mowed around them.

That’s not to say that keeping the eye-

balls in place has been easy. The set topping the hill now is the fourth pair Selburg has ordered. The first were blown away by strong winds. The next set was the wrong size. The third set disappeared but eventually turned up at Carmel High School, leading Selburg to believe that its removal was a senior prank.

For Selburg, the eyes have always been about one thing: positivity.

“If something just sitting up there can throw someone out of their normal behavior loop enough, then that smile might turn into not honking at the car in front of you,” he said. “Truly, the heart of it is that I wanted to make people smile, and it’s working.”

Group targets invasive species

By Riya Chinni news@currentincarmel.com To combat the issue of invasive species plaguing Carmel and surrounding areas, a group of residents is ENVIRONMENT starting a Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area. Members want to build a foundation for the CISMA movement in Hamilton County.

Phil Flannagan, spokesman and leader of the grassroots organization, said those interested in forming a CISMA held an exploratory meeting in February.

“There were probably 40 people in the room, and 38 were representing various government or public (organizations), like the parks and recreation department, the highway department, the forestry department,” Flannagan said. “Everybody is dealing with invasives in some form or fashion.”

He said the main goal for the group is to collectively utilize funds allocated to address environmental issues in a more

effective way and educate the public about invasive species, which not only negatively affect the environment but also cost Indiana more than $5.7 million, according to the Indiana Native Plant & Wildflower Society.

Flannagan said invasive species can cause a domino effect that harms ecosystems.

“Some of the berries (invasive plants produce), birds eat them, but it’s like a sugar high. There’s no real nutrition there. It’s this interconnectivity of animals, plants, everything,” Flannagan said. “That’s when the bell went off in my head. It’s nice to eradicate them, but let’s educate people on why not to plant them the in first place.”

Educating the public, Flannagan said, is a priority for CISMA. “I think most people, if they knew what was going on, they wouldn’t plant something like that,” Flannagan said.

CHS duo, Pittman win titles

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School freshman Lauren Littell and sophomore Leila Antony not only had never played doubles toTENNIS gether before this season, they barely knew each other.

Littell moved to Carmel a week before the season started from Tucson, Ariz.

“Everyone was really welcoming,” Littell said.

“Once we started playing doubles together, we Pittman gained a lot of confidence.”

Littell and Antony completed a 20-0 season by beating Evansville Memorial’s Abby Myers and Margo Throop 6-0, 6-2 June 8 in the IHSAA girls tennis state high school doubles championship at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis.

Cathedral sophomore Ellie Pittman, a Carmel resident, concluded with a perfect mark (260) as well, defeating Providence senior Halli Trinkle, the defending state champion, 6-2, 6-4, in the singles championship.

Littell said the team was focused in the final.

“We just kept our head in the game,” Antony said. “We were super positive and motivated each other. When we get on a

roll, we just keep going.”

Pittman didn’t drop a set all year.

“It’s a little windy out, but I knew it wasn’t going to be perfect conditions,” Pittman said. “I just had to stay calm and play my game. (Trinkle) is a really good player. I knew it was going to be a close match.”

Cathedral coach Mark Noe, a longtime Carmel resident, said Pittman has the opportunity to go down as one of the best girls tennis players in state history.

“She’s been the epitome of a buzzsaw all year,” Noe said. “For her to beat someone like Trinkle, she’s nails. She’s one of the hardest workers I’ve ever had.”

CHS golfer, team win state

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Nick Dentino pulled off a rare triple in the IHSAA boys golf state finals.

Dentino, who graduACHIEVEMENT ated from Carmel High School earlier this month, was on the state championship team, was the individual medalist and was named the Mental Attitude Award winner.

He was the Greyhounds’ first individual champion since 1963, when Don Wood shared it with two other golfers when it was one round with no playoff.

Dentino tied Noblesville’s Clay Merchent but won a one-hole playoff June 12 at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel. His team was in control from the start of the second round and ended up winning its second consecutive state title, with 17 fewer strokes than second-place Center Grove and Noblesville.

Carmel has the most boys golf state titles with seven overall.

Merchent tied Dentino on the 18th hole with a birdie.

HSHC creates market event

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A new Humane Society for Hamilton County event is designed to help severely injured animals.

PETS From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 22, HSHC and its resale boutique, Trends for Tails, will play host to the inaugural Midsummer Market at its future shelter and headquarters at 10501 Hague Rd. in Fishers.

“We have fundraisers already in existence that are incredibly beneficial and successful, but we have to keep it fresh and try to reach new people,” said Megan Bousley, a spokesperson for HSHC. “In early January, we decided we wanted Trends for Tails to hold a market event to sell a lot of the larger furniture pieces the boutique normally can’t accommodate due to the size of the store.”

A 3,300-square foot space will be filled with mostly furniture and home décor but also some appliances and sporting goods.

Like Trends for Tails’ year-round mission of giving net proceeds to HSHC’s Survivor Program, the same is true for Midsummer Market. The Surivivor Program provides life-

Although most items for sale are gently used, there are some new items as well. All items were donated by Trends for Tails customers and supporters.

How many times have you heard of people getting calls from tech companies like Microsoft and Apple, telling them TECH they have a virus or security issue with their computers, and they need to gain access remotely in order to “fix it?”

Ten times out of 10, those calls are nothing but good, old telemarketing spam and scams that either want to sell you services or products you don’t need, or they’re actual malicious hackers and thieves who want access to your information.

When a customer calls me or comes to my service center about this, I always remind him or her that no company out there knows anything about your computer state and never will call you about it.

If you are one of the unlucky that an-

swers such a call, never respond or give the caller any level of access to your computer or personal information. If someone actually did gain access, then shut everything off and take your computer to an expert for a full scan and removal of any spyware or malicious-installed software, such as remote controls.

Always be mindful of who’s calling and why, and then simultaneously ask yourself: Why would Apple or Microsoft call me about my computer when I don’t have any problems and I did not contact them?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Attorney who helped shape Carmel’s growth reflects on 50 years of practicing law

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Steve Henke didn’t get a chance to celebrate being inducted to practice law, at least not right away.

COVER STORY He was clerking at a firm in downtown Indianapolis in 1977 when attorney E. Davis “Dave” Coots asked when Henke would be eligible to begin taking cases. Henke gave his answer, and Coots assigned him a jury trial for the following day.

“He actually handed me a jury trial, so I couldn’t go celebrate that evening with the rest of my friends,” Henke said. “He and I have often laughed about that, an attorney having a jury trial the first day they’re practicing law.”

Thus began a friendship and business partnership that inspired the two men to open their own law firm in Carmel, where they worked together for more than 20 years. Henke left the firm to become a developer, but Coots, 75, still works full time at Coots, Henke & Wheeler at 255 E. Carmel Dr. In May, the Indianapolis Bar Association honored Coots for 50 years of work in the profession. He has no desire to slow down anytime soon.

“I like what I do. I still enjoy and have the enthusiasm for new matters that come in, and you never know (what will happen) when you get here in the morning,” Coots said. “When you get into the office the phone is going to ring and somebody is going to say, ‘Dave, I need some help.’”

THE PERFECT STORM

Coots grew up in Farmington, Ill., a small town west of Peoria. After graduating high school, he went to Monmouth College with plans to become a veterinarian, but a professor with a law degree encouraged him to change course. A couple of years later, he began taking classes at the IU School of Law. He got his first job in law as a clerk at Locke, Reynolds, Boyd & Weisell — the firm where he later met Henke — and passed the bar exam in 1969. He and his wife, Nancy, purchased a home in Carmel’s Woodland Springs neighborhood, and Henke soon

moved nearby.

The two men began carpooling to work, and during the commute they would discuss the possibility of opening their own firm. The Blizzard of ’78 gave them a final push to make it happen.

“We had so much snow that you couldn’t go to work,” Henke said. “We got together and talked about the actual planning of how we were going to do our law firm.”

Coots & Henke opened July 1, 1978, inside a Fidelity Bank building on the southwest corner of 116th Street and Range Line Road.

James K. Wheeler, who is semi-retired, joined the team in 1980. The firm quickly

outgrew the space and had plans to move into a new office building on the north side of Carmel Drive, but delays led Coots and Henke to purchase land from the Carmel Racquet Club and build in front of it instead.

They’ve since expanded the building and dedicated much of it to space for mediation, a service that allows greater flexibility for the attorneys compared to a courtroom.

“It’s kind of like running a bed and breakfast,” said Coots, a Westfield resident. “You can work when you want to and be full if you don’t.”

SERVING THE CITY

As Coots worked to launch his own law firm, he also served in city government. Voters elected him to the Carmel City Council for a term that lasted from 1976 to 1980, and during that time he also served on the Carmel Plan Commission. He helped create the Meridian Corridor overlay zone, which he said has turned out to be much better for Carmel than he originally envisioned.

“The businesses that Carmel has added over the years into that expanded width is such an engine for tax revenues for the rest of Carmel that it separated us from every other community up and down U.S. 31,” he said.

Coots served as Carmel city attorney from 1980 to 1982 for Mayor Jane Reiman’s administration. He said learning about the city’s legal issues helped shape the direction of his practice. And Carmel’s massive growth spurt helped solidify his presence in

Coots, Henke & Wheeler opens at 255 E. Carmel Dr.

Steve Henke leaves the firm to pursue development full time

Carmel, too. He’s become an expert in real estate law but also practices business and family law.

Through the years, he’s been involved in several “major pieces of litigation,” he said, including representing Chrysler in 1971 after an Indianapolis 500 pace car wrecked and injured several people and again in 1973 when a racecar driven by Salt Walther crashed on the first lap of the race and burned people in the crowd with fuel. He’s also worked on cases involving large estates, product liability and dismemberment.

Coots describes his style as “laid-back,” and Henke said his common-sense approach has solidified his reputation in the legal community.

“Dave’s forte has always been to gain the respect of those who were opposed to him as well as those who he’s representing,” Henke said. “He has been able to work out problems and issues and clients listen and take his advice. His advice is always well thought out.”

‘VERY BLESSED’

Throughout his career as a full-time lawyer, Coots has made time to serve his community, too. He has volunteered as chairman of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and served as a board member for the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation, Indianapolis Bar Association and its foundation, Carmel United Methodist Church and elsewhere. He serves on the board for Actors Theatre of Indiana.

A father of two and grandfather of two, Coots enjoys traveling, fishing and playing golf, which he takes more time to do now than he did early in his career. He’s been to 25 European nations and plans to continue exploring the world with Nancy, his wife of 55 years.

“I’m a very blessed person with the family that I have, the practice that I have enjoyed over these years, the people that I’ve worked with and worked for,” Coots said. “I look back with contentment about how my life has evolved to this point and (am) anxious to see what’s to come.”

LETTER

Self-made legacies

Superheroes deserve the attention

Commentary by Terry Anker Around the second century B.C., leading Augustan poet Horace declared, “Pulvis et umbra sumus.”

He may be right in believing that “we are but dust and shadow.” Our lives fleet almost before we note their departure. We build monuments that, like his beloved Rome, eventually return to the Earth. Our names are first confused, then mispronounced, only to ultimately be forgotten altogether. Given the futile nature of legacy-building, are we simply better served to live for today? Or, can we hope to hang on through those subsequent others influenced by us hoping for a generation or two of remembrance?

But even as we strive to make our own name, too often we obsess about fleeing the inheritance imposed upon us by the generations that came before. We struggle to separate ourselves from our progenitors. Throughout our youth we strike out to be different, only to slide back to a deep-rooted fear in our own insignificance. We live in the shadow of giants. Is it possible to extract ourselves from those who came before?

And, did these mythical titans, our parents, mentors and heroes, fear the same? Were they, too, living an echo of their own antecedents? No doubt, failure to recognize the contributions and strengths of our forebearers is to miss the point of being human. Much can be learned about who we are by knowing who they were. It is a fool who imagines that we have evolved so much in these thousands of years.

Yet, are we running so hard from being someone else that we never bother to become ourselves?

Let the drunken games begins Commentary by Danielle Wilson Hijinks and shenanigans are on the horizon, friends. Next week is our annual vacation to South Carolina, where we cram 26 people into a beach house HUMOR for seven days and see what happens. Ranging in age from 3 to 77, my side of the family will test our survival skills as we seek to navigate toddler tantrums, sister drama and late-night, alcohol-fueled charades. I can’t wait!

My husband, Doo, learned long ago to bow out early, so he will be returning half way through. Another in-law employs similar tactics, arriving a few days after we’ve settled in to our sun-and-sand sojourn. But for most of the time, there will be plenty of humanity negotiating communal bathrooms, laundry and refrigerators (plural, thank God!). For me, the hardest part is always bedtime, as I and I alone tend toward the very early side of midnight (i.e., 10 p.m.), usually just as the

karaoke dance party is beginning right below me or an intense game of hide-and-seek commences outside my door. Aunt Danielle is definitely not the fun aunt!

Still, I wouldn’t miss this trip for anything.

We live all across the U.S., and the cousins have few opportunities to spend time with each other. And my mom insists that her grandbabies are all in one place; no separate condos for this mamaw! I’ll be sunburnt and emotionally drained by the end, for sure, and will probably have engaged in at least two sibling tiffs, but the memories of time spent with loved ones make the crazy worth it.

So, prepare for a tale of hijinks and shenanigans, friends, ’cause it’s about to go down!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

-Muhammad Ali

Editor, Superheroes are everywhere these days.

Superman and Batman have been household names for decades, but in the past 10 years, thanks largely to the Marvel movies, characters once only known by the most devoted of comic book junkies now have their own action figures.

Why do superheroes have such a powerful hold over our imagination? Two researchers in the European Journal of American Culture described superheroes as a part of America’s “national myth.” In their 2016 study, the researchers examined a Marvel comic mini-series called “Fear Itself.” The allusion in the title to Franklin Roosevelt’s famous speech was itself a part of the national myth. That period in history was found to be particularly important to the message of the comic.

In the 2000s, when the mini-series was published, society was in the midst of significant social unrest. Society had a long list of reasons to be fearful and worried, and for most of the 2000s the comics industry reflected that unrest. So in 2011, “Fear Itself” called upon America’s national myth, the ideals of society and used superheroes to promote them.

That portrayal of society’s ideals is the true importance of the superhero.

Impact and empowerment Commentary by Lorene Burkhart In a recent School of Engineering report

by Purdue University, Dean Mung Chiang wrote about Engineering PLAIN TALK +X as essential to fulfilling the potential of engineering in shaping the conditions of human existence.

One dimension of this concept is collaboration with partners outside of academia, and another is with intellectual disciplines.

The report shows how the engineering school has collaborated with the schools of agriculture, veterinary medicine, IU School of Medicine, pharmacy, technology, management, health sciences, science and liberal arts. Every school at Purdue plus another university has a collaboration with the engineering school. The old concept of “silos” of engineering is disappearing.

A comprehensive education today provides a network of partners for impact and empowerment. Going it alone is tough.

Finding a partner, whether it’s a person, a like-minded concept or the largest school at Purdue is the growth and satisfaction component necessary to “save the planet” or simply have more fulfillment.

I recently heard Richard Reeves speak at an Economics Club luncheon. He is a senior fellow and co-director of the Center on Children and Families at the Brookings Institution. His topic was based on his new book, “Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust,” and why that is a problem and what to do about it.

Reeves came to the U.S. from England to escape the class system only to discover a class system that is rapidly growing in the U.S. and the world between the haves and have nots. He emphasizes that the top fifth of our society is upper-middle class who pass on their values and opportunities to future generations because they are provided the education opportunities with upper-middle class status. He emphasizes that support of community colleges to educate the lower class is essential to narrow the gap.

Whenever I visited Phyllis Baskerville’s toy museum in Fortville, I was mesmerized by the endless array of toys, HUMOR dolls, board games, records, lunch boxes and old magazines, each one in mint condition. The old Pentecostal church that housed her collection was dubbed Dolly Mama’s and was in operation for more than 12 years.

Phyllis and I became good friends and when she fell ill several years ago, she asked if there was anything in the museum I particularly had my eye on. Was there ever! But I was uncomfortable making the request: She had life-size statues of my comic heroes, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, in their classic poses, replete with bowler hats. I opted instead for a less extravagant selection, a set of Laurel and Hardy puppets, which I still proudly display on my bookshelf.

Before Phyllis died last year, a final wish was that her prized assortment of memorabilia would always remain as a single unit.

I didn’t mean to disrespect that wish, but I knew I could give those statues the home they deserved, where they would be truly loved. I approached her daughters, Tara and Tammi, and offered to buy the pair, certain that any offer within my means would appear paltry.

Phyllis would have never “sold” any individual item, so no money exchanged hands last week. I believe Tammi and Tara knew that their mom would have wanted them to go to a true Laurel and Hardy fan. Let’s just call it a successful open adoption.

My son and a hired strongman loaded the duo onto a flatbed truck and headed to my house. I was not certain Mary Ellen would like having these enormous artifacts in our basement.

“Wow, they are really classy looking,” she said, words she has generally reserved for the likes of Cary Grant and Gregory Peck.

We discussed whether Stan and Ollie should be placed on either side of our TV in the basement. We chose instead for them to always be next to each other.

Actually, history had already decided that.

Hunt for Hope benefits kids

By Raymond Mo sadie@youarecurrent.com The A Kid Again volunteer club at Carmel High School recently conducted the Hunt For Hope, in which high FUNDRAISER school students and families competed to find QR codes scattered around Clay Terrace in the least amount of time.

The event was a fundraiser and outreach for Indiana’s chapter of A Kid Again, a nonprofit dedicated to providing kids and their families with year-round adventures to look forward to amidst the day-to-day grind of doctor’s visits and dealing with chronic illness.

Club President Caroline Joliet said creating the experiences for children who suffer from life-threatening illnesses is an opportunity for them to remember what life is really about.

“I’ve been able to talk to a lot of our families, and just even thinking about their schedules as far as doctor’s visits is exhausting,” Joliet said. “To be able to give them a break to just enjoy being a kid is just a really incredible and awesome thing to be a part of.”

Jr. Civic presents ‘Shrek The Musical Jr.’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Katie Rae describes herself as a Jr. Civic kid.

After growing up, the THEATER North Central High School graduate became a Jr. Civic adult to work with production.

“I moved to Chicago to do children’s theater a few years ago,” she said. “But I came back this summer because I’m getting married. I asked Brent (Marty) if I could do the show. This would be my eighth Jr. Civic production to stage manage.”

Jr. Civic Theatre will present “Shrek The Musical Jr.” June 21 to 26 in a Mainstage production at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. There will be nine performances. Cast members range in age from 7 to 14. “‘Shrek’ is a great show for kids because there are a lot of great featured roles,” Rae said. “There is a lot of good music to work with.”

Marty, who is directing, said there are 52 cast members.

“This might be the largest cast we’ve had, and I’ve been doing this for 20 years,” he said. “They’re a good group, they love the show and love the theater.”

Anna Wagner, a Carmel resident who will be a Creekside Middle School eighthgrader this fall, is cast as Storyteller No. 2.

“I enter the scene and set the story,” Wagner said. “Then, the storyteller kind of pops in and pops out and helps narrate the story.”

Wagner has been acting at Jr. Civic since she was 8 years old.

“I do musical theater at my middle school and I do Beef & Boards productions,” she said.

Maddux Morrison, who will be a Noblesville High School freshman, plays a Duloc citizen and the Pied Piper.

“I saw it at Beef & Boards and it looked fun,” Morrison said. “I also saw it on Netflix because the Broadway musical is on it.

The music is great.”

Morrison started performing in Jr. Civic productions in fourth grade.

Actor-comedian Kevin James’s comedy tour will stop at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

James is being added to the season as a special event. Tickets are available now with a subscription to the 2019-20 Center Presents season. Patrons can purchase tickets when the show goes on sale to the general public in August.

James began his career as a stand-up comedian on the Long Island comedy scene.

After being discovered at the 1996 Montreal Comedy Festival, he signed a network development deal to create his own sitcom.

In other Center news, Carmel-based Allied Solutions will continue to serve as the lead sponsor of the annual Center Presents performance. Allied Solutions, one of the nation’s largest providers of insurance, lending, and marketing products to financial institutions, has been the season sponsor since 2015.

grader at Westfield Middle School, plays teen Fiona, one of three cast as Fiona at various ages.

“Teen Fiona doesn’t have many speaking lines, but she is part of a trio of the Fionas, and I get to do wonderful harmonies with super-talented girls to make the song sound elaborate,” Connor said. “It’s thrilling.”

Connor was familiar with the show because she did it before with Christian Youth Theater when she was 9 years old.

“I was Baby Bear and that was my first big role ever,” she said. “I am so excited to be teen Fiona, because when I was younger, I always wanted to be one of the Fionas. The trio song is challenging but it’s worth the work and I can’t wait to perform it with the other Fionas.”

Sadie Cohen, Carmel, plays young Fiona, and Isabel Casciani, Zionsville, plays Fiona as an adult.

A.J. Wilson, who will be a North Central High School freshman, plays Shrek.

“I also played Shrek in my school musical (at St. Richard’s School) in February,” Wilson said. “I like the songs and I like the range he has from very high notes to lower notes.”

YAP PRESENTS REVUE! Youth Artists Program Director Anne Beck came up with the concept of doing an extra show for the YAP in the summer.

“The show is a cabaret, so we dive into the lives of these fabulous young artists a bit,” Beck said. “They help write all of the content with me based on answering questions about life. This year we discussed family, where they have come from, where they could be heading.”

Beck said there is an incredible team assembled to guide, direct and lead the students into the world of cabaret.

“Kenny Shepard is directing them,” Beck said. “Tamara Wise Totty is pushing them musically to be their best, and and this year Shannon Forsell from downtown’s Cabaret (Indianapolis) is working with them a few times for tricks of Cabaret style, finesse, communication, etc.”

The show has performances at 6 and 8 p.m. June 19. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Henthorn to celebrate album

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Doug Henthorn battled parotid gland cancer and writer’s block before finally completing his second solo album.

Henthorn started putting maMUSIC terial together shortly after his first album, “Cold Medicine,” was released.

However, he had some doubts as to what direction he should take. “‘Cold Medicine’ was a bit dark and my first swing at a singer/songwriter-type album,” he said. “I’d sung backups on a couple John Hiatt records prior to ‘Cold Medicine,’ and he really inspired me. I eventually decided that I needed a fun record, and a follow-up to ‘Cold Medicine’ didn’t have to be so damn serious. So, I floundered all the way up until October of 2018 when I just spent an entire day with this one guitar and a little practice amp that suddenly inspired me. I put together the basic bare-bones ideas for the whole thing in one long day.”

The Westfield resident will celebrate his second full-length album release, “The LLC,” with a June 21 concert at Radio Radio in Fountain Square in Indianapolis. Doors open at 8 p.m., with opening performance by the

Shelby County Sinners. Tickets are $10 and will include a copy of Henthorn’s new CD. After “Cold Medicine” was released in 2015, Henthorn learned he had parotid gland cancer. So far, the cancer has not returned.

“I have to go in every six months for an MRI of my head and neck to make sure it’s not making a home there again,” Henthorn said. “I noticed a lump behind my ear around the time ‘Cold Medicine’ was done and like most guys I just ignored it.

Eventually, it drove me in, and I had surgery and what seemed like a million rounds of radiation.”

VOCE to hold cabaret show

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com VOCE, a vocal ensemble with a heavy Carmel flavor, will perform in a familiar venue.

VOCE CONCERT means voice in Italian.

The group will present a cabaret-style concert, “All That Jazz,” at 7:30 p.m.

June 22 at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, 1402 W. Iacocca Main St., Carmel.

“We’ve been rehearsing at St. Christopher’s for a couple of years,” said Carmel resident Brenda Iacocca, the group’s managing director as well as performer.

“We’ll be singing songs from the Great American Songbook and pop,” Iacocca said.

“We’re doing a Beatles number. We’re doing ‘I Say a Little Prayer’ as well as contemporary pop tunes.”

The $25 ticket covers admission, two drink tickets and snacks. Additional drinks can be purchased at a cash bar.

“This concert will be a fun way to present some old standards in a fun, cabaret style,” Carmel resident Angie Bethel said. “With

a mix of group and solo pieces, it should serve as a showcase for VOCE’s high musical standard.”

Iacocca said the group performed carols in German at last year’s Christkindlmarkt. Iacocca has been a member for eight years and president for three years.

“As a relative newcomer to the area, VOCE has offered rewarding opporBethel tunities to participate in community events, from carols at Christkindlmarkt to collaboration with Mathew’s Voices,” Bethel said.

Matthew’s Voices is a group of homeless singers from Indianapolis that regularly perform at Roberts Park United Methodist Church.

Along with Bethel and Iacocca, the other Carmel residents are Rachelle Woolston, Carolyn Tinsley, Mary Dawn Krege, Suzanne Baach and accompanist Allegra Sorley.

Martin Madsen, Fishers, and Howard Baetzhold, Noblesville, are other members from Hamilton County.

LOOK FOR FAIRy gARden FeATUReS!

School’s out, kids are home and warm weather is in full swing. Here are some great wines to try. Two WINEderlust whites: a value-driven option and one that’s more splurgey. I’ve also added a red that is nice with a tiny bit of a chill.

First, Campuget 1753 Syrah Vermentino.

This blushing beauty is a French rosé from the eastern-most appellation of the famed Languedoc region. A dry, feminine wine offering up whiffs of grapefruit and orange. In the mouth, it’s a berry bomb with a bright finish.

You can’t help an uplifted mood with a glass of this. Great as a “patio pounder” and also a nice option with strawberry salad or light seafood; 80/20 Syrah/Vermentino, $20ish.

Feeling a little fancy? Give Cakebread’s 2017 Sauvignon Blanc a swirl ($39). Gorgeous and perfumey, nose-filled with melon, citrus, jasmine and grapefruit is just the beginning. Ripe melon and grapefruit keep coming to the glass with an interesting hint of

lemon thyme. A lean wine that pairs perfectly with grilled shrimp, crab, artichokes and asparagus. This baby lives up to the hype of its famous moniker.

You only drink red? Well, how about trying something interesting that also is appropriate for warm weather? Maison Joseph Drouhin’s 2017 Chorey-Les-Beaune (pinot noir). A bright red wine that smells and tastes a lot like blackberries. As it matures, it begins to boast that lovely French “stinky” that’s a perfect companion to earthy mushroom dishes. Truffled paté, anyone? This wine should continue to improve during the next four or five years. You can give it a tiny bit of a chill before serving or enjoy at room temp. Aged in French oak and deeelish ($33).

Blueprint for Improvement: Gorgeous outdoor living on Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: This 1998 home is on Geist Reservoir in Fishers. The homeowners are retired and enjoy hosting extended family at their home.

THE CHALLENGE This home has an incredible location right on the waterfront. The homeowners are retirees with a lot of children and grandchildren who visit regularly. They wanted to expand and enhance their outdoor living space with more seating and a permanent covered dining area.

THE SOLUTION A few creative additions to the already lovely outdoor space really revved up this home’s waterfront appeal.

1. A brand-new deck and staircase were constructed, using Trex composite decking and railings. These materials are much easier to maintain than wood.

2. The roof was extended to create a screened porch; the lower level guest bedroom was expanded and now features a bay window overlooking the lake.

3. The curved design of the staircase and the stained wood beam ceilings add incredible style and coziness to the home.

4. The concrete patio was replaced with a larger paver patio and the retaining walls were redesigned and updated with coordinating stone.

Hoosiers and Sooners ­ put the ‘s’ in groceries Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Cairo Citadel, with Muhammad Ali Mosque. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Saladin and the Cairo Citadel Commentary by Don Knebel The Cairo Citadel, among Egypt’s most visited sites, was erected by a ruler often considered the most important TRAVEL Kurd in history. An extraordinary medieval well named in his honor is still visible at the site.

By the time he was 37, Saladin (Salad ad-Din), a Sunni Muslim Kurd, had wrested a large block of territory east and south of the Mediterranean from Shia Muslims.

In 1175, he became the first sultan of Egypt and Syria. His immediate task was securing his capital in Cairo against attacks from the bordering Kingdom of Jerusalem, established by Christian Crusaders in 1099 after they broke through the walls of Jerusalem and massacred its Jewish and Muslim inhabitants. Saladin soon began building a walled fortress, featuring massive cylindrical bastions, to surround both Cairo and Egypt’s nearby former capital of Fustat, burned to prevent its falling to the Crusaders. From this Cairo Citadel, Saladin organized and led a military expedition that decimated Crusader forces at the Battle of Hattin in 1187 and soon recaptured Jerusalem, allowing Jews and Muslims to return.

To provide water for the increasing number of people within the citadel, Saladin ordered Crusader prisoners to dig a 285-foot-deep

well, with a spiral donkey stairway inside, that became known as “Joseph’s (Yusuf’s) Well” after his first name. Saladin’s immediate successors extended the walls and added mosques to the Cairo Citadel. By the 14th century, Cairo and its citadel were at the center of the Islamic world.

In 1828, Muhammad Ali, Egypt’s Ottoman ruler, began building an imposing mosque on a citadel hilltop modeled on Istanbul’s Blue Mosque, destroying monuments of his predecessors in the process. The Cairo Citadel served as the administrative center of Egypt until the late 19th century. Today’s visitors can see Joseph’s Well and three mosques and tour museums reflecting Egyptian history.

ever, we don’t call Walmart “Walton’s,” so why the “s” on the end of Walmart? Sam’s Club (founded by Walmart founder Sam Walton) is like if Walmart—which is already humungous—got exponentially bulkier, but I can’t get in because they keep denying me a membership.

My guess is adding an “s” to the end of grocery store names is a holdover from when many stores used the last name of the store owners as their names. These “last name-apostrophe s” stores were so common that many people instinctively add an “s” to the end of the grocery store name, regardless of its name or origin.

As Aldi makes headlines as the fastestgrowing grocery store chain in the U.S., expect to hear more people say, “They’re putting in a new Aldi’s down the road.”

And Amazon purchased Whole Foods Market, but I don’t expect to hear anyone saying, “I get my groceries from Amazon’s” anytime soon. If he did, he’d sound like a giant Schnuck.

I’ve lived in Indiana for 12 years now, and, prior to that, I was born and raised in Oklahoma. In both GRAMMAR GUY places, I couldn’t help but notice the same strange phenomenon when people talked about shopping at grocery stores.

For some reason, people tend to add an “s” to the end of the name of the store.

In the Midwest, I hear Aldi’s, Meijer’s, and Kroger’s all the time. In Oklahoma, I heard several people say Walmart’s. I don’t think people are suggesting they went to multiple Kroger stores, so that’s why I wrote them as possessives instead of plurals. Why do people do this?

It could be because some grocery stores already end in “s,” whether it’s a possessive or plural name: Whole Foods, Albertsons (which used to be possessive, but now it’s not), Trader Joe’s, Sprouts Farmers Market (no apostrophe necessary), Publix, and—my favorite—Schnucks.

Schnucks, a St. Louis-based regional Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, chain, just sounds like a word you’d call syndicated humor writer. someone if you wanted to characterize Connect with him on Twitter him as some sort of dense nincompoop. (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com.

On the other hand, some of these stores have their origins as possessive names.
