Retired Carmel business owners reflect on service

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com

O’Malia’s Fireplace Shop at 115 Medical Dr., just north of 116th Street, is under new ownership after 49 years of busilooking back ness with the O’Malia family. Scott Horvath took over the business earlier this year.

Helen O’Malia and her son, Kevin O’Malia, who worked at the shop for 33 years, are preparing for retirement while reflecting on a life of business in the Carmel area.

Bill and Helen O’Malia opened the shop in the fall of 1966. The business moved three times, once after a devastating fire at its original location in Indianapolis. The business moved to Carmel in 1982, and as Carmel grew and expanded, the family business did the same.

Helen O’Malia, 83, said that she and her husband originally decided to open a fireplace shop because her husband had bad knees, so he couldn’t lay tile anymore.

“We decided he would have to do something other than tiles,” Helen said. That something ended up being fireplaces, which had little overlap with Bill’s knowledge of tiling.

“We knew nothing about it,” Helen said. “Little by little we gained knowledge of what to do.”

That meant she and her husband went to trade shows to learn more about business.

Helen owned a Hallmark shop on the side that sold gifts and baubles. As O’Malia’s Fireplace Shop grew into its niche, that shop closed and the entire family started working at O’Malia’s.

“We learned by experience.” said Kevin O’Malia, the former manager of the shop and one of Helen’s three sons, said. “What we strived for is quality service.”

Kevin started working at O’Malia’s Fireplace Shop after he graduated from Ball State University in 1981. He said he didn’t expect the temporary position to become a 33-year career.

The original store at 105th Street and College Avenue was destroyed in a fire in 1982 that gutted O’Malia’s and six other businesses. Today Rosie’s Garden sits on the property.

Kevin said that quality service was the most important part of the business.

“The reason we had to provide customer service was to be better than the big-box stores,” Kevin said. “I think we succeeded with that.”

“You have to look at any business,” Kevin said.

“You can’t compete on price. That never works.

You have to compete on customer service.”

Helen said that’s the same attitude that her husband had, and it’s something the shop has always worked to uphold.

“He took care of the problems,” Helen said.

“Anyone that came in with a problem, he would make it right.”

The O’Malias said that translated into loyalty.

Helen said that her favorite part of the business was the customers.

“I would say the same,” Kevin said. “Some of the customers kept coming for years and years.”

“And then some of their kids,” Helen added.

Helen said that when her husband died in 1993, Kevin’s experience kept the business from falling apart. But Kevin said that much of the business’ success was due to customer loyalty.

When the business initially moved to Carmel, it expanded its product line. They started selling

After the fire, O’Malia’s moved to its second location at 220 S. Range Line Rd. in July 1982. The restored house was the home to the store until 2006.

When it was razed to make room for the Indiana Design Center.

patio furniture and grills and became a general outdoors retailer. Kevin said that fireplaces still constituted a majority of profits.

“It’s probably the easiest part of the business,” Kevin said. “Fireplaces in general. But the patio furniture is a newer part of the business.”

Helen said that expanding into that new business was difficult, especially when competing with larger retailers. She said that, without excellent customer service to distinguish the business, they probably wouldn’t have done as well as they did.

“A lot of businesses can’t be independent against big box stores,” Helen said.

Ceremony thanks Vietnam vets

By Navar Watson • news@currentincarmel.com Fifty years ago marked the beginning of the Vietnam War. In the following years, many Americans fought, but were flag day never thanked.

So on June 14, the Horseshoe Prairie Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution honored Hamilton County residents who served in Vietnam – those who survived and those who were lost.

During the Flag Day ceremony, a commemorative flag for the war’s anniversary was raised outside the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center.

“Fifty years ago, [these veterans] didn’t receive the thanks that they deserved when they came home,” Chapter Regent Amanda Mizell said. “This is just to welcome them home and thank them for their service.”

Since many Americans opposed U.S. involvement with the Vietnam War, veterans didn’t receive much gratitude or celebration upon their homecoming. Many veterans, like Mizell’s father, were told not to wear their uniforms on the way back.

The day James Martin came back from service in 1967, he was spat on.

“That was just part of the culture,” Martin, a Hamilton County resident, said. “Nobody liked the Vietnam War. A lot of young guys went off to Canada. … Most of the guys – in fact, all of the guys I went in with – were drafted.”

Martin was almost 23 years old when he was drafted, basically an “old man,” he said.

“These were all kids.”

Martin joined several other veterans and families at the ceremony, many of whom he’s come to know over the years. One soldier, who died in combat, had a niece, mother and grandmother in attendance.

“From puberty to maternity to menopause, we’re designing care from a woman’s perspective.”

Introducing focused, coordinated care. Exclusively for women.

St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Center combines the entire spectrum of women’s health care in a single destination.

“Each provider has unique skills, and we all work together so patients get the best of everyone’s strengths,” says Dr. Christopher Mernitz, OB/GYN, co-medical director of the Women’s Center. “At the St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Center, women can expect very efficient, compassionate care.”

Board hopes to update West Park

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A big step toward enhancing Carmel’s West Park has been taken.

The Carmel/Clay Board of Parks recap and Recreation unanimously approved the recommendation to hire SEH of Indiana for the West Park Master Plan Update at its monthly meeting at the Monon Community Center East on June 9.

Gregg Calpino, the project manager for SEH, had worked with the parks department before.

“He was the lead designer for Central Park when he was with JJR (in 2002),” said Michael Klitzing, assistant director of Carmel Clay Parks. “We then retained his new firm SEH to do the master plan for the north part of Central Park. This will be third project, the second one with SEH.” SEH’s cost proposal was $109,750, which was more than Ratio’s projected cost of $106,000. The Hitchcock Design Group’s projected cost was $144,800. Those were the three firms approached after trimming it down from nine proposals from design teams.

Klitzing said the next step is to negotiate the contract.

“We’ve got basically the terms and we understand the scope so we’ll work out the con-

tract,” Klitzing said. “Then we’ll arrange a kickoff meeting that will be between the team and management to coordinate dates. We’ll then decide when we’re going to have public meetings so the public can provide their input on what they want to see at West Park. What do they like about the park currently? What should we not touch? What would they like to see added to that park? Then based on that input Gregg will come up with several different ideas. We’ll present those ideas to the community, get more feedback, refine the plan and ultimately come up with a final recommendation for the board’s consideration.”

Klitzing said from the time they have a signed contract to a finalized plan for the park will be nine to 12 months.

Klitzing said the playground and spray park are getting near the end of their functional life.

“We’re going to look at replacing those,” Klitzing said. “We have 80 acres that have never been developed that have been purchased after the original development of the park. So we’ll revisit the entire park and see what makes sense and what can be tweaked a little bit to make it a contiguous park if you will.”

Cell tower to fly American flag

The Westfield Advisory Plan Commission voted unanimously on June 15 to approve construction of a 120-foot AT&T County cellphone tower that will be constructed at the southeast corner of 146th Street and Oak Ridge Road.

The commission voted on the condition that AT&T commits with the City of Westfield to fly an American flag at the top of the tower at all times. Once an agreement is signed, Westfield would mandate that AT&T fly a flag at all times, and that it conform to all federal flag codes.

The tower in question will be designed as a ‘stealth pole,’ which is supposed to look more like a flag pole than a cell tower. City Council member Steve Hoover (District 2) proposed that a flag be flown from the tower at the APC public hearing on June 1.

Kevin Todd, the senior planner in the Westfield Economic and Community Development Department, said that AT&T went “above and beyond what the ordinance requires.”

Todd also said that the commission received several email letters from citizens wanting the flag to conform to federal laws, which requires a flag to be lit at all times.

“I think that will make a big difference for

the community,” Hoover said. “I didn’t hear anything negative regarding that from neighbors. It makes it more palatable.”

Some community members opposed the tower on June 1. The tower will sit on the border of Westfield and Carmel, and some residents of both cities think it could collapse or emit harmful radio waves. The property borders an athletic field owned by Our Lady of Mount Carmel church and school, and it also borders a natural gas pumping station.

Construction will begin sometime after AT&T commits in writing to amending its design plans to include a flag and its necessary lighting.

Kim designs now on display

By Maddie Yerant and Brielle Saggese news@currentincarmel.com Toronto-based artist Christine Kim kicked off a display of her work at the Indiana Design Center’s Grand Hall at a reception art June 11.

“This is my first time in Indiana, and I’m really excited to meet a new set of connections and get that exposure in the States,” Kim said. “I’m kind of super curious where this will take me.”

Curiosity breeds invention for Kim, some of whose recent work started as nothing more than a happy accident.

“I was doing some paper cutting,” Kim said.

“There was one drawing that went horribly, and I messed up and cut the figure out, and the figure – she was a girl – she was sitting on top of all these paper cuts and water color paintings in my studio, and I thought that was really interesting,” Kim said.

From there, Kim said she started to layer the pieces and realized the figure cast a shadow. She then decided to put the pieces in a shadow box, effectively creating a collage of different pieces and types of art.

“It’s kind of a fun process, this whole col-

lage thing, because I actually accumulate different ingredients, so I do lots of drawings first, and then water color paintings, and cut papers, and it’s just a matter of pulling from each little pile and figuring it out,” Kim said.

The display includes paper collages, paper installations and paper sculptures, some of which play with the light in the Grand Hall space, such as her immersive installation “Confessions.”

Kim said she hopes viewers take note of the interplay between that light and shadow as well as a quietness about her work.

Kim’s work will be displayed in the Design Center through July.

Dogs on Deployment is a national organization whose mission is to give military members peace of mind concerning their pets during their service commitments by providing them with the ability to find people and resources able to help them.

“The guard and the reserves are very active in Indiana. Those are the people that get deployed a lot and lots of times don’t have a consistent pet caretaker. They end up with a short notice deployment and then don’t know what they should do with their dog or cat. A lot of them get surrendered to shelters because people don’t know there is another option,” said Diann Wellman, Indiana coordina-

Participants need to register in advance through PWAT. Tickets are $35 to participate.

Each person will create a dog-centric piece of art that they will be able to take home. The painting is a play on the famous piece called Love by Robert Indiana with a paw print replacing the letter “O”.

There will be a bar available with beverages for purchase.

HEart Works: A labor of love

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com Dana Dunn once struggled with severe health issues that overshadowed her life.

Now she is the thriving Carmel profile business owner of Designs by HEart Works, quickly developing a blossoming local and nationwide reputation through her online Etsy shop.

Before she began her business, she spent several years and nearly all of her family’s life savings in the battle against her autoimmune diseases. “Chronic fatigue ruled my life, and Mayo Clinic told me I had less than two years left in many organs,” Dunn said.

Finally, Dunn found a doctor and a nutritionist who outlined a natural approach that solved her declining health. After a two year recovery, she was back to full vitality at the beginning of 2013.

Health restored, she tackled her backlogged to-do list – starting with sorting through an overabundance of Christmas decorations.

Her collection had accumulated from years of hosting Christmas tours in her home for notfor-profits with which she had once served as a board member.

Following a series of spiritual inspirations, she used her resources to help others who had fallen on challenging times. She produced uniquely arranged wreaths, trees, and other designs.

With her year of “giving back” over, a friend suggested she start a business and donate a portion to charity. “I thought I was the one giving the blessing, but I was the one being blessed since I received the training to start a business to help my family and others.” said Dunn. She named it Designs by HEart Works to weave in its spiritual beginnings. This year, she plans to support Riley Children’s Hospital through the Carmel and IU Dance Marathons.

City Council recap

Compiled by Adam Aasen

obituaries

The Carmel City Council voted to approve changes to municipal traffic violations and penalties, specifically with respect to parking tickets.

What it means: Under the current law, officers have to charge court costs – which is $118 – instead of just letting parking violators pay the $10 ticket. City Councilor Sue Finkam said this allows parking enforcement to be more educational rather than punitive when it comes to giving out tickets.

What’s next: Passed 7-0 and goes into effect.

City Council President Rick Sharp asked about any shortfalls with the 2015 city budget.

What it means: The state’s Department of Local Government Finance reviewed Carmel’s budget and cut it by around $7 million because auditors were concerned that Carmel was over-projecting revenues. ClerkTreasurer Diana Cordray said action needs to be taken to fix the budget. Curt Coonrod, a financial advisor to the Mayor’s Office, said DLGF is very conservative and regular under-projects the city’s revenues. He said Carmel has never come up short on its operating budget.

“Carmel’s revenues will cover Carmel’s expenditures for 2015,” he said.

What’s next: The Mayor’s Office needs to communicate with DLGF to let it know that revenue will be higher than DLGF’s projections or the budget needs to be cut. If the budget is cut, it can later be restored by a vote from the Carmel City Council, which often happens.

The Carmel City Council is considering a partnership with Indianapolis, Westfield and Greenwood known as the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority.

What it means: As a part of Gov. Mike Pence’s Regional Cities initiative, signed into law in April, areas of the state will work together to receive grant money for projects such as transportation, bioscience research and bike trails. This is not a taxing agency. Members selected for the board won’t be elected officials.

What’s next: The bill was sent to committee.

Neighbors support new overlay

Back in November, neighbors in the Johnson Addition area filled the chambers of the Carmel City Council to advocate for turning their neighborhood just south of Main council Street and west of the Carmel Arts & Design District into a conservation district.

The council approved the measure, which aimed to preserve the look and feel of the area, but Brainard Mayor Jim Brainard vetoed the ordinance and it died.

Now, the neighbors of Johnson Addition are back in front of the city council, this time to support a new overlay zone that would enforce rules for new construction, renovation or demolition in the area.

Instead of a packed house, about a half dozen neighbors were in attendance at the June 15 public hearing for the zoning designation. Familiar faces, who spoke at many other forums about this topic, took to the podium.

Adrienne Keeling, planning administrator for the city, said the new overlay zone is more focused on demolition and new construction than on renovations to existing homes. Standards include building heights, yard setbacks, building mass and type of

materials.

“While not historic in the conventional sense, the Johnson Addition’s proximity to the Arts & Design District could present development pressure in coming years,” Keeling said. “This proposal gives us an opportunity to decide what would be appropriate in this neighborhood before development pressure forces reactions.”

City Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider, who also serves on the Carmel Plan Commission, said the commission listened to neighRider borhood feedback and found that public opinion was split 50-50 on the zoning changes. As a result, the plan commission sent the matter to the city council without any recommendation, allowing the councilors to iron on the details in committee.

Chuck Ford, who was a part of the conservation district petition, said he believes there’s overwhelming support from the neighborhood to make these changes to protect the character of the area.

But neighbor Jana Souers said she believes the changes are unnecessary. She said she’s happy that a restriction on adding a second story to homes has been relaxed, but she still believes the greater concern is large looming buildings being constructed right on the borders of this neighborhood.

‘Firefighter for a Day’ returns

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Many youngsters dream of being firefighters. The Carmel Fire Department gives those boys and girls a sneak preview.

The department along with St.Vincent Carmel Hospital summer camps are presenting the Firefighter for a Day Camp for the third time. The free camp, which includes lunch, will be held July 21 and 22 for ages 7-10 and ages 10-13 on July 23 at Prairie Trace Elementary School, 14200 N. River Rd. The camp is 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day.

“It’s a neat experience to bring the kids out and give them a glimpse of what we do,” event co-chairman Tim Griffin said. “They get to hang out with the firefighters for a day. It’s outside and it’s physical, so it’s a great concept. It’s a great way to showcase what we do and what firefighting is all about. It’s just not just fighting fires or (Emergency Medical Services). It’s about educating the public. We talk about 911 and different emergencies.”

Griffin, a Carmel resident, has been with the department for 11 years. He missed the first camp because of vacation.

“I got involved last year and just loved it,” Griffin said. “I’m just a small part, there are so

many firefighters that are on the committee that are doing so much.”

One of those is Brandon Greiner, who serves as the other camp co-chair.

Griffin said he got approached several times in the past year with positive feedback about the camp.

“We’ve filled up every year we’ve done it and I think this year will be the same again,” Griffin said.

There are games, obstacle courses and a rescue the baby station. Griffin starts the children out with some fitness exercises.

SeeinG through his eyes

Three of Davis’ paintings. Davis said his art is for those with visual impairments and those without. (Submitted photos)

Artist Ryan Davis incorporates braille into his paintings

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Ryan Davis wants to make art that isn’t just beautiful to look at it.

He wants his art to be felt – emotionally and physically.

The 31-year-old artist is legally blind in one eye Cover story and his mother was born with a visual impairment. So he had the idea of incorporating braille into some of his painting so those that can’t see can enjoy his work.

“They are functional, because the braille is accurate, and says what is depicted in the piece, but further than that, the addition of the braille is intended to open your mind, even if you have sight,” he said. “It does this by describing what is in the picture, but it emphasizes the shallowness of our words at times.”

Davis works with fourth graders at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

“Seeing the experiences, struggles, triumphs and everything in between that the visually impaired go through inspired me,” he said.

“There are certain words that not only require a ton of explanation, but even after that some things will always be interpreted different ways. For instance, if I put ‘painting’ in braille in a piece, how would you explain a ‘painting’ to someone without sight? How would you explain colors? When my paintings say ‘blue’ where the painting is blue it forces you to step back and interpret ‘blue’ how you’d like, and relate that to past, present or future experiences with ‘blue.’”

Davis doesn’t incorporate braille into all of his works, and his paintings can vary in style from piece to piece. He likes to use strong purposeful brushstrokes with vibrant colors to create abstract pieces and portraits. He sketches, builds furniture and creates 3D art. His subjects vary from nature to sports to religious themes.

His goal is to try to make people put themselves into other people’s shoes through his art. Incorporating braille is a way for those with sight to imagine not being able to see.

“My painting ‘Clouds’ spelled out in Braille forces you to think about clouds you may have seen before, but also can make you imagine ones you have never dreamt of,” he said.

Davis, who is legally blind in one eye, said he hopes his art will help others who are not visually impaired learn more about art, and what other people go through. (Photo by Sam Aasen)

What’s your background and where did you do your training?

I have been drawing on anything and everything I could find since the second grade (and probably before that if I could remember). I took every single art class that my elementary, middle and high schools had to offer. I do a little bit of everything from illustration, painting, commercial design and more. I studied at Herron School of Art & Design for two years after graduation.

What artists are you inspired by?

My favorite artist is Jackson Pollock. I liked how he made paintings that forced people to think, and come up with what they wanted to get out of the pieces.

Where can people see your work?

My website www.RyanEdwardDavisArt. yolasite.com has many of my current works, and a lot of my past work as well.

I am currently featured in Earth Fare Supermarket on 116th and Range Line, and Yats on Old Meredian Street.

What’s the favorite thing you’ve created so far?

I did a painting titled “Heart” for my friend Ben. It is a piece with two lions, a male and a female. The female is asleep and totally relaxed. This could be because she is lounging on a beautiful male lion who is up and alert. The piece is all cool colors, except for his majestic mane, which is represented by all the colors.

Name: Ryan Davis Age: 31 Education: Lawrence North class of 2001, two years at Herron School of Art & Design.

The fun started as I watched the cast and crew belt out favorite songs of my childhood past. Then, I was lucky enough to mingle with some of the cast members afterwards. They were in a hurry to get to their own private Kiddo Tea Party but had fun posing and chatting with “Where’s Amy?”. Later, the adults had their own tea time at an adult “Twisted Tea Party.” The Twisted Tea Party was all about having a fantastic time, but it also helping to support the Civic Educational Programs. Guests could buy a special ‘tag' to help Jr. Civic or take home a bottle of wine from the whacky wine pull.

Everyone had a magical evening, delicious food by Jonathan Byrd and colorful psychedelic cocktails to sip on throughout the night. Hats off to the wonderful cast, crew and to Civic Theatre’s own Brent E. Marty who directed and choreographed the show. Yep, the event was a true FUNdraiser!

Manager and mom, Donna Hogard, takes a moment to pause with Luke minutes before “The Battles That Changed Us” starts. Hogard has been a role model to her son and they have a close bond together that works.

Sixteen-year-old Carmel filmmaker Luke Broyles came back to Indiana to screen his feature length film “The Battles That Changed Us” at the beautiful Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts. Broyles just completed his freshman year of high school at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan and has been passionate about filmmaking since the age of 6. He has won more than 60 notable laurels across the globe and is already at work on his next feature. “Where’s Amy” was at the Red Carpet VIP Party and Premiere … which was packed with family, friends and supporters of Luke.

“The Battles That Changed Us” is a story about four young men and their journeys fighting in the Civil War. The props and uniforms were 100 percent authentic and many of the scenes were shot with Civil War Reenactors from across the nation. The film also benefited a charity called PEACE ranch which helps veterans with PTSD and rescued therapeutic horses.

Be sure to keep an eye out for this young filmmaker … he is on a roll! For more information on Luke Broyles and his films visit: lukeproductions.org

Success at a high school reunion

F R O M T HE B A C KSH O P OK, who needs some face wash?

They just continue to rub all our faces in “it,” and we keep coming back for more. Last week, the Internal Revenue Service stated it may have found 6,400 e-mails from Lois Lerner, who oversaw the tax agency’s Exempt Organizations Unit, but the IRS folks aren’t sharing what “may” have been discovered.

Trust us, the excuse is el-perfecto, too! The legal beagles from the U.S. Department of Justice, in representation of the IRS, say the e-mails won’t be shared because the service is making sure that none of them is a duplicate. Yes, of course, we buy that lock, stock and barrel. Some people need to stop taking stupid pills, and everyone should demand that his or her congressional representatives get the ball rolling toward shuttering the Jurassic agency or vote them out. Fair tax, flat tax … whatever. Just. Make. It. Stop. And if they can’t get it done, vote for people who will achieve on that front. This poor nation … .

••• Festival season is upon us, and we’re thrilled to be sponsoring events across our region once again. That got jump started with last Saturday’s Wild Air Farms Summer Festival in Zionsville. It was a benefit for the Make A Wish Foundation, and it was wildly successful by every measure. There was wonderful family entertainment, and the fireworks display was among the most amazing shows of pyrotechnics we’ve seen anywhere. Folks worked their fannies off to make that event come off without a hitch.

With July 4 festivities right around the corner, we urge you to consider joining volunteers working hard already to give the community a memory. Plus, volunteering just feels good!

Rain, rain go away

Commentary by Terry Anker

It has been a particularly wet June. Thunderstorms have populated the weather map with no immediate end in sight. As a child, rainy days were always a disappointment. With less than a handful of reliable television channels and all other electronics non-existent, there was little distraction to keep us indoors. Even more, small houses would have put us underfoot (and subject to direct supervision) all day long. The summer ritual was to head outside immediately after breakfast to explore and entertain.

Rainy, sloppy days would only complicate matters. The resulting mud would make the call to lunch a much more challenging undertaking as we were not allowed back indoors without a considerable scrub.

As an adult, one becomes far more sanguine about the weather. Experience teaches that the only thing worse that having rain is having no rain. We can count ourselves blessed in a time when so many regions

are experiencing record droughts. Once complaining about a delay on an airplane on the tarmac for a needed repair, a fellow passenger reminded me that the only thing worse than being on an airplane in need of repair on the ground was being on one with a mechanical failure while in the air.

The challenges we face in life, great and small, often support a much larger ecosystem. While a rainy day may be the bane of existence to a child hoping to play baseball, it also brings needed moisture to plants and wildlife, helps restore the water table and fills the rivers, reservoirs and streams.

Wear a raincoat. Carry an umbrella. Sleep in. Develop a mechanism to endure the inconvenience. It will pass and we’ll likely be better off for it.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

– George Washington

Over the weekend I attended my 25th high school reunion. I know what you’re thinking: “How can she be that old when she looks so good?” Fair question, my friend, humor but the truth is I was a child of the eighties and it’s been a quarter of a century since I walked the halls of my dear Sacred Heart Academy, an allgirls catholic school complete with nuns and weskits.

Fortunately, I am a twin, and my sister and I decided to go together, along with our three besties from freshmen year, for both moral and forgotten-name support. I honestly wasn’t thinking too much about appearances until Sis told me of her recent Botox injections and spray tan expenditure; she was clearly stepping up her game. But with an aversion to needles and no time to counter the pasty-white ginger skin, I showed up in all my natural glory.

Turns out, most of us looked great. A few women I did not recognize; they were either much heavier or much thinner that I remembered, and there was one gray-haired gal I mistook for a 1970’s alum. But all in all, our class has held up incredibly well. Of course I credit Facebook for keeping the shocking transformations to a minimum; stalking old classmates does have its advantages!

Actually the only surprise was that every single lady I spoke with was as nice as could be, even if I hadn’t particularly liked her back in the day. We talked about kids and husbands and divorces and cancer and parents and careers, and of course, our favorite memories of SHA. I learned our class had been widely regarded as the worst in decades. [Due to our behavior, the school board revoked senior lunch privileges and retired the student smoking “pad”. Furthermore, there are no championship athletic banners for the years 1988-1992, which might explain why I, at a very average 5’6”, started at center for the varsity basketball team.

Desperate times called for a clearly desperate measure!]

Hopefully our fiftieth will be just a lovely. I, for one, can’t wait. Peace out.

McAfee ready to be uncaged

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

It might be Pat McAfee’s first official stand-up comedy show. But it’s an act the Indianapolis Colts punter has been preparing for all along.

“Some people play video games, some people binge watch diversions TV,” McAfee said. “Ever since I can remember, I write. I enjoy writing. My life has brought me into some very interesting situations and some hilarious situations. I’m so lucky and blessed to be in the NFL. I’ve been preparing for this for about 10 years. I’m ready to go. I could do the show tonight if I had to.”

Pat McAfee: Uncaged is set for 8 p.m. on July 11 and 12 at the Palladium in Carmel. The first show in the 1,600-seat concert hall was sold out in less than two hours. The second show sold out quickly as well.

“We thought we were going to sell 20 tickets,” McAfee said. “When the Palladium asked how many I thought I’d sell, I had no idea. There were zero projections. The morning it sold out it was an overwhelming feeling.”

McAfee said he enjoys comedians who tell stories.

“You get to really get to know them through their stories,” McAfee said. “It will be stories about my life and my mistakes. It will all be poking fun. It will be a fun night of happiness. It’s going to raise money for my foundation so it’s going be a win-win-win.”

Portions of the proceeds go to The Pat McAfee Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to educational scholarships for the children of U.S. military personnel.

Comedian Jeff Vibbert, known for his behind-the-scenes work for the Bob & Tom Show, will open McAfee’s show.

McAfee is a frequent guest on Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold’s nationally syndicated radio show.

“Instead of playing video games or having a family, I chose to make people laugh,” said McAfee, who had shows on WTHR-13 and IndyStar.com. “It’s an 18-plus show. But it’s not going to be grotesque. I’m going to deliver stories in a gentlemanly manner. It’s going to be about situations I can’t talk about on my TV show or on my Twitter account so that’s why it’s been called Uncaged.”

McAfee said he might want to pursue a comedy career when his NFL career is over.

“The good thing about comedy is you don’t have a boss,” he said. “Right now, I’m doing it for fun and see where I head to. But I really enjoy making people happy. All I want is for people to smile and be happy.

The world is a crazy place. Tom Griswold told me once, ‘People have enough (crap) going on. They don’t need your (crap). Just make them happy.’ You never know when your career is going to end. So preparing for the future is always a good thing.”

Colts tight end Jack Doyle has full trust that McAfee can be funny for 75 minutes.

“I’m excited to go there and see what he’s got,” Doyle said. “He’s a really funny and a great guy at the same time. He’s one of the jokesters around the locker room and the lunch room. When you sit by him at lunch, you know you’re going to laugh throughout the lunch.”

Indianapolis IMAX offers film, family fun this summer

By Maddie Yerant news@currentincarmel.com

This summer, Indianapolis-area movie lovers will be able to hit the (really) big screen for educational family fun.

Diversion Starting June 26, the IMAX Theater at the Indiana State Museum will re-release six of its greatest hits from the last several years.

Tickets are available individually or in a $25 summer pass.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, actually,” said IMAX theater manager Craig Mince. “It all stems from wanting to play these older IMAX films, the ones that have been sitting in our library for a while, and doing something fun with that and at the same time offering something up to the public that is a really good deal.”

According to Mince, because his theater is one of the last film-based IMAX theaters in the region, he was able to sift through the projection room library to choose films for the summer pass.

“IMAX movie prints are very big, very

heavy and very expensive to move,” Mince said. “So we looked at what we had inhouse, and then we looked at the more popular of the films – the films that did really well when we played them in their heyday.”

Some of these films include D-Day 3D: Normandy 1944, Madagascar: Island of Lemurs 3D and Mince’s personal favorite, Hubble 3D. “It’s got some of the most stunning footage captured in 3D,” Mince said. “Some of the imagery they got is so beautiful. You’re not going to see too many more of those space films anymore, so it’s kind of that perfect storm of a film.”

According to Mince, audiences may want to take advantage of what could be some of these films’ last hurrah – either for a while or forever.

“Some of these are going to go back into the library, and it’ll be a while, if ever, that they come back out,” Mince said.

For more information, including a complete list of show times, visit the IMAX theater’s website at www.imaxindy.com.

Piano competition begins June 29 in Carmel news@currentincarmel.com After a successful inaugural event in 2014, the International Talent Academy is preparing for an even bigger and performance better Carmel Debut International Piano Competition this summer.

Pianists from across Indianapolis, the United States and the world will gather at the Tarkington, part of Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts campus, from June 29 through July 2 for musical competition, education and appreciation.

“Last year was our first time and it was very successful,” ITA Executive Director Tatyana Komarova said. “The reason for that is because a lot of our committee members are piano teachers and have previous experiences at different competitions. And the reason we organized our own competition was because some of the other competitions we were sending our kids to just weren’t as good.”

Last year’s competition saw 90 students ages 5-19 and from five countries compete across six age divisions with solo performances. This summer’s event already has 140 applicants coming from seven other countries, including Canada, China, Azerbaijan and

Karolena Zhou, of Fishers, won first place last year. (Submitted photo)

Georgia.

“The teachers who brought a couple of students last year are bringing many more students this year,” Komarova said. “Also they spread the word out to other teachers and we talked to people we know in Germany. We have people coming from Germany, Turkey, Ukraine and some other countries. We con-

tacted some music academies we know and a lot of our judges are international, too. It’s going to be truly an international event.”

But the event’s growth isn’t limited to an increase of attendees. The competition is adding duet and concerto divisions this year and will take advantage of its international judges and instructors by having them pass on some knowledge to the next generation.

“We’re adding duets and concertos this year and extending the competition for four days as well as adding master classes and lectures from judges,” Komarova said. “This will be very unique because you will not find that caliber of lectures and master classes here. They’re coming from all over the world and all these judges have judged at other international events. They have a huge experience and they’ll share that with our audience here.”

The last day of the event will see 45 finalists compete for placement within their divisions. A scholarship awards ceremony will follow and the winners will perform as part of a gala concert beginning at 7 p.m. July 2, at the Tarkington. “(For) anyone who loves music or people who would like to educate their children about it, this is an unique opportunity to do that,” Komarova said.

HCAA, ISO partner with artists

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

When the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra called, David Heady and other artists listened.

Heady, a Fishers resident, is event the vice president of promotions and partnerships for Hamilton County Artists Association.

The ISO proposed holding Pictures at an Exhibition as part of Marsh Symphony on the Prairie and HCAA agreed. The event will be held at 8 p.m. on June 26 at Conner Prairie in Fishers.

“There’s no better way to bring that experience to life than to have working artists, on site, painting while being inspired by what they hear,” said Jessica Di Santo, communications director for ISO. “It’s a grand tradition to form collaborative relationships between performing arts and visual arts – so many composers were inspired by artists living in their time and vice versa. Why not continue the tradition.”

Artists will be pathways that go around the upper rim of the amphitheater “I think we’ll have a good showing,” Heady said. “There are 30 spots and I think we’re coming close to filling that.”

When Kroger reopened its Range Line Road location on June 18, most customers expected the place to be newer and growth more upscale. But many might be surprised to discover the grocery store has implemented a new concept for the grocery chain.

The 1217 S. Range Line Rd. location – the first of its kind in Indiana – features a full-service test kitchen for cooking demonstrations.

There’s a full-service Starbucks and a Cake Bake, a popular Broad Ripple bakery expanding into a second location. A two-story bistro section features areas to build your own pizza and order gourmet burgers. A quiet café area promotes the idea that you can not only pick up lunch at Kroger, but relax and enjoy your meal right in the store.

“Our $11 million investment in Carmel is a strong vote of confidence and allows us to continue providing quality products, competitive prices and outstanding customer service, while being a supportive community partner,” said Jeff Burt, president of Kroger Central Division.

This is all part of an aggressive strategy to grow Kroger in Central Indiana, with $465 million in investment and 3,500 new jobs.

The Carmel location alone will create 150 additional jobs.

John Elliott, manager of public affairs for Kroger, said the new Carmel location will be a test for features to include in other stores in the future.

There’s a wine steward and a cheese master to help customers with pairings. There’s a grille station near the meat and seafood cases and even a chocolate fountain. The 86,419-square-foot store has 1,200 new items, a 60 percent increase.

Dispatches Bleach for glassware – Add a teaspoon of bleach to your dishwasher load to restore shine and sparkle to your glassware. Or, soak glasses in a solution of one part bleach to four parts water for a few minutes, then wash and rinse well. Source: msn.com

Keep flowers longer – Keep cut flowers fresh longer by adding a few drops of bleach to the water in the vase. This will extend the life of the flowers and keep the water clearer as well. Also, add a pinch of sugar to the water to fertilize the flowers. Source: msn.com

Tarnish remover – Clean tarnished copper pots and silver with ketchup. Apply a thin coat of ketchup to the item. (First test on a small inconspicuous area to be sure that it doesn’t cause any discoloration.) Leave for 15 minutes.

Rinse off with warm water, and dry. Due to its high acidic composition ketchup is a nontoxic alternative to store-bought cleaners and less expensive. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, can you explain the difference between ‘cache’ and ‘cachet?’ Are they just grammar guy alternate spellings of the same word?”

Answer: Hey, I know this one! Grammar column: Engage.

If you’ve ever been geocaching – a sort of scavenger hunt involving clues and GPS coordinates – you know what I’m about to say: a “cache” is a storage place or a collection of items stored in a hidden or inaccessible place.

Squirrels have caches. Pirates have caches.

Squirrel pirates would have caches, but they have better things to do.

A “cachet,” on the other hand, has less to do with hiding things and much more to do with making them distinguishable. A “cachet” is a distinguishing mark or seal, or, more abstractly, the state of being distinguished, respected or admired (ex. “Few world leaders

had the cachet of Nelson Mandela.”).

A “cachet” can also be a flat capsule inside which a dose of medicine is stored.

Now, you may be saying, “Fine, Grammar Guy, I get the definition. But how do you pronounce these words?” If you would just have a little patience, I was getting to that.

“Cache” is pronounced like the sort of thing you might hide inside – “cash.” And, while they’re both French words, “cachet” is the one that sounds most like its French roots: “cashay.” It’s kind of fun to say, really.

So there we go: We learned two new words, and how to say them, and maybe even a bit about a new hobby. I’m talking about squirrel pirating, of course. We can leave the geocaching to someone else.

Clean inside vases – For hard-to-clean objects such as vases and Thermoses, rinse with warm water, then add two crushed eggshells. Fill with warm water and a squirt of dishwashing soap. Shake thoroughly, and rinse with hot water. Prior to cleaning vases and Thermoses, wash the eggshells with hot water to remove any remaining egg or residual membrane. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

Aluminum foil hacks – Here are some interesting uses for foil that might be new to you: 1. Use a ball of foil as a dish scrubber or grill cleaner 2. Cut through several layers of foil with scissors. This will sharpen and clean the blades.

3. Use a ball of foil as a static reducer in the dryer Source: MentalFloss.com

Vasa: Stockholm’s famous ship on display Commentary by Don Knebel The most popular museum in Scandinavia features an ill-fated Swedish warship launched almost 400 years travel ago. The museum also holds lessons about hubris and obsequiousness.

By the early seventeenth century, Sweden was the third largest country in Europe, after Russia and Spain. In 1625, its king, Gustavus II Adolphus, ordered a fearsome new type of ship to intimidate rivals around the Baltic.

The king, considered the father of modern warfare, specified two gun decks, each with 24 large cannons, and an exterior adorned with hundreds of brightly painted carvings.

For three years, shipbuilders, sailmakers and artists worked on the 1210-ton “Vasa,” named for the royal family. In January 1628, the king inspected the nearly complete ship in the Stockholm dockyard and pronounced the untested configuration seaworthy. He then went to Poland with his troops, repeatedly sending back letters demanding to know when his ship would be finished.

With Vasa still in port, 30 sailors ran around its top deck to test the ship’s stability. Senior naval officers could not tell the impatient king

his sanctioned design had failed the test.

Instead, on August 10, 1628, they launched Vasa on its maiden voyage, with families joining sailors onboard. Gun doors were opened so cannons could salute the admiring shore crowds. Less than a mile from port, a strong gust caught the sails, the ship listed and seawater flowed into the open gun ports. The mighty Vasa sank, taking 50 people to the bottom of the harbor. An official inquiry refused

to assign blame for the debacle. By 1683, divers had salvaged Vasa’s brass cannons and the ship was forgotten.

New bathroom layout creates better space in homes Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home, located in the Cheswick subdivision in west Carmel, had lived with their existing master bathroom for blueprint for 10 years. “Our original bathroom had an odd improvement layout. The toilet room divided the bathroom in half and cut up the space. The small walkin shower was tucked away in a dark corner and always felt cold. We wanted a more open and functional layout to take advantage of the natural light.”

NEW LAYOUT: To improve the functionality of their space, the existing bath was completely gutted, enabling a blank canvas for the new layout. Plumbing was relocated for the new location of the shower, tub and toilet room. The shower was moved to the previous location of the garden tub to give the homeowners’ more space with natural light. The toilet room was moved to the previous shower area. A new freestanding tub was placed in the center of the room to create the main focal point of the bathroom upon entry.

TOWER CABINETS CREATE SPACE: While the location of the existing vanity worked well, it

lacked usable storage space. To add storage capacity, ceiling height tower cabinets were added to each side of the new vanity.

CREATING ELEGANCE: “With the house dominated by my husband and sons, I wanted to have an elegant and feminine design that would stand the test of time.” To achieve this timeless look, marble tile was selected for the

RESULT: “The new bathroom is perfect for us. We love how many options we have with the shower. The wide door, bench and grab bars allow us to age-in-place in this home gracefully and I especially appreciate the convenience of the handheld shower wand to wash the dogs.”

bathroom floor and shower. Chrome fixtures, wainscoting and a traditional free-standing tub contribute to their dream vision. Minera quartz by Cambria with flecks of sparkle, crystal chandeliers, sconce lighting and crystal cabinet knobs add a touch of feminine flair.
