Protecting their future Carmel police department offers summer camp to teens interested in law enforcement

C

Story and photos by Brandon Bowman armel Police Officer Scott Spillman has just executed a church steeple takedown on a brown-haired male about 5 feet tall. Holding the perpetrator’s palms up to the sky and his feet crossed, Officer Spillman applies pressure on his back to make sure the perp’s movement is limited while he reaches for his handcuffs.

The rest of the kids who signed up for the Carmel Police Teen Academy watch intently until Officer Spillman gives them the OK to try the move on their partners. “I’m really interested in police stuff and I’ve been to camps in the past. I also know some of the cops,” Mallory Kuersteiner, 15, said. Learning a church steeple takedown is only the start of the Carmel Police Teen Academy.

Sgt. Nancy Zellers has been working with teens at this camp since it started a year ago.

The kids involved go through physical training in the morning before sitting in a classroom to receive information about how the Carmel Police Department works. They are taught how the police conduct searches of areas and execute traffic stops.

“What we’re trying to do is develop an open dialogue so that we can gain some friendships between these kids,” Sgt. Zellers said.

Phil Hobson is the school resources officer at Carmel High School. Hobson understands that these teens will grow up and one day and have to deal with the pressures of alcohol.

Hobson tells the class that “I know that you guys would never drink and drive, but I don’t know what you would say after you have a couple drinks in you.”

Hobson shows a movie about alcoholrelated accidents and the medical steps taken to save the victims’ lives. “We really want to mentor these kids when they get older.

I especially want them to feel comfortable coming to me with information or problems they might be having in the high school,” Hobson said. To Hobson, the kids are the first line of defense against illegal activity in the high school. The classroom sessions have hands-on activities for the teens. Hobson presents goggles that represent someone with an alcohol level of 0.20. Two volunteers are taken and given the field sobriety test.

“It was kinda hard to catch a ball and walk in a straight line with the goggles on,”

Kuersteiner said. Kuersteiner’s goggles were set for the day time. Another set of goggles was available for what a 0.20 blood alcohol level would feel like at night.

After being unable to walk in a straight line, it’s obvious that functioning is hard when you have been drinking. Later in the day, the teens line up and have a tricycle race with the goggles on to re-enforce the message and have a bit of a laugh at the sight of errant drivers.

The K-9 unit also teaches at the Teen Academy. A representative of the unit informs the teens of how the dogs operate. Then a demonstration of how the dogs search lockers is conducted. An officer hides a box full of narcotics that the dog is trained to sniff out.

The dog is kept distracted until ordered to search the lockers, where it stops directly in front of the one holding the narcotics. A bite demonstration is also held to illustrate how dogs of the Carmel Police Department subdue criminals.

When these demonstrations are over, the teens are dismissed and told where to go next without having to follow an adult leader.

Before any of the officers arrive in the room the teens assemble into straight lines.

With hands down to their sides and eyes fixed towards the front, the officers begin to circle around and make sure heads are held high and chests are out.

Every question is answered with a “yes sir” or a “no sir.”

Discipline is an important factor in the camp. If a member of the group is holding everyone behind during physical fitness he or she is assumed to take responsibility for it.

Sometimes the punishment is more physical training, but character building is paramount with the Teen Academy.

Officer Scotty Moore shows how police dogs are used to sniff out drugs.

INTERESTED IN CARMEL POLICE TEEN ACADEMY? NEXT SESSION IS IN JULY The Carmel Police Teen Academy is for anyone 13 or older. If you want to be a cop or just want to understand what they do, the Teen Academy is available from The Carmel Police Department.

The next Teen Academy will be July 9-13 and spaces are still available.

To receive more information, call Sgt. Nancy Zellers at 571.2551.

OUR TAKES It is our position that Carmel’s investment in the arts is not only good for the soul, it is also good for the wallet. Recently, the Indiana Arts Commission completed a study showing that there are nearly 50,000 Hoosiers employed full time in the arts industry. This makes the arts a major player in providing jobs and paying mortgages in our fine state. Carmel’s proclamation several years ago that it views the arts as a central component of any stable, developing and thriving community imagined little in its ability to create opportunity for our citizens.

As it turns out, this approach is not

only prudent as a mechanism to encourage investment by large corporate citizens (whose many non-Indiana employees are enamored with our cultural advantages — if disappointed by our lack of scenery) but also a way to foster opportunity for and investment by small businesses.

While arts investment traditionally has been framed as a quality of life venture, studies are now showing that the investment also is one in economic development. Our soonto-be built Performing Arts Center will no doubt play a central role in attracting arts investment and jobs to our community. To that, we look forward with anticipation.

A Sign of Good Government It is our position that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission (CRC) should be commended for its responsiveness to the needs of local small business. This paper wrote last week about the consternation regarding the dearth of a signage package for the newly constructed PedCor property, the Old Town Shops, at the corner of Main and Range Line.

We encouraged business owners who were concerned about signage (or lack of signage) in the Arts and Design District to attend the CRC public meeting a week ago, and turn out they did.

CRC President Ron Carter received a signage proposal on Saturday, made the

rounds to the Old Town Shops businesses on Monday and Tuesday to obtain feedback and made room for presenters on Tuesday night’s agenda. The ensuing dialogue was energetic, vibrant and spirited – much like the renovations occurring in Old Town.

While the overall response to the proposal was very positive, a few issues such as grandfathering and sign flexibility were raised and addressed.

Before calling for a vote of the commissioners at the meeting, Mr. Carter turned to the gallery and queried, “Will this work for you?” Upon unanimous passage, the room erupted in applause.

SUPPORT THE HOME TEAM, BUT NOT BLINDLY

Air travel: all gummed up

G

o Greyhounds!! My Dad is bigger than your Dad! USA Rules!

All good examples of cheerleading for the home team. All good examples of identifying one’s commitment to the cause. I have used the opportunity afforded by this fine publication to extol my fondness for our little burg. Carmel is good, say I. I definitely buy in. We walk the Monon. We eat at local joints. We shop here.

But our loyalties are not exclusive; we also cheer for the Colts, Pacers and Hoosiers.

Win or lose, we applaud and weep for people we don’t know in places that we rarely go. They are our teams. We are their supporters. We identify with them. And we love them all. Isn’t that the way of things? Isn’t that as it should be?

People who can’t or won’t support the cause bug me. I’m tempted to invite folks who struggle to wave the flag on the Fourth of July to pack their bags and move on (dot org or not). People who Terry can’t or won’t see the changes for the better that are happening in Carmel fail to impress.

On Sept. 11th, I counted myself a flagwaving zealot. Tears filled my eyes. Americans were dying in front of my eyes. This was the home team. On that day, it was easy to selfidentify — and to conspicuously support. We raise our children to be loyal and dedicated young men and women. Love and support your family. Love and support your community. Love and support your country. It is an easy message. And one that I believe in fully.

But of late I’ve been revisiting this topic of loyalty. When is our loyalty blind? Why is it blind? And should it be? How do we question the sanity of chasing the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful NFL for a Superbowl without

being disloyal to the home team? How do we express our frustration of a particular government policy without almost necessarily being disloyal to our nation? Does the monster truck guy really need to show his love for the Chevy brand with a cartoon image of a little boy emptying his bladder on a competitor’s logo (and does he have to make me see it while waiting for the light to change)?

History is littered with cautionary tales.

Loyalty carried Hitler to the murder of millions. Loyalty will carry many young men to murder themselves and others with bombs strapped to their chests. Religion.

Nationalism. Economics. We blame these horrific realities on many things, but the real culprit is a gross distortion of loyalty — extreme commitment to the cause at hand.

To be sure, it strikes me the world needs more loyalty. What could be accomplished without the distraction of naysayers and obstructionists? But the magic is to ensure that our loyalty is not Anker blind. Dedicated — yes. Slow-tochange — yes. Dogmatic — probably not. Hate-filled — certainly not.

Tolerate other points of view. Sure. Advocate with great zeal for those ideas and institutions that have garnered your own loyalty. Of course. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge those times when there really isn’t another valid point of view. At times — cautiously. In short, be loyal — even to the extreme — but never follow (or allow others to follow) blindly.

Advocating blind anything (violence, hate, intolerance) isn’t loyalty to one’s cause.

Rather, it is a distortion of something good and can’t be tolerated. People to whom loyalty is blind are not getting it — without regard to whether that loyalty is supporting the home team or the ranting of a dictator.

Air travelers, rejoice! The Transportation Security Administration has struck down all attempts by carriers of gummy bears to play havoc in the skies. ( We couldn’t possibly make this up.)

Steve recently took his 15-year-old daughter, Rachel, to the airport for a longawaited, first-time-flying-“alone” trip to visit her relocated buddy, Morgan. Rach had seen fit to pack a bazillion gummy bears at the bottom of her carry-on bag. Her traveling companion, Alyssa O’Malia, nearly dropped her teeth when she saw the stash — as did John and Jane Security, working the Let’sMake-Sure-You’re-Not-A-Terrorist Line.

Out came the blasted confection, Rach gave her dad the ol’ I-Guess-I’m-in-Trouble Fleeting Look (you know the one), and then John and Jane exchanged ultra-stern glances. Jane disappeared with the offending contraband, off to see her supervisor; that’s what good government workers do, especially when – holy crap! – there are gummy bears on the premises. Well, the boss told Jane, “No WAY! Nuh-uh. Not a chance.”

So Rach’s stash was trashed, except for the 16 or 17 bears Jane let her keep in a plastic bag. The key question here is exactly HOW did Jane Security know that the handful of gummy

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly bears didn’t contain C-4 or some equally powerful, lethal explosive? She didn’t know, because it was a random grab, but Rach got a lot of red ones in there.

This is why your Backshoppers are overly grateful they don’t travel by air for business anymore. We wouldn’t tolerate today’s security nonsense gracefully. Is it necessary? That’s not for us to decide. All we can tell you is it stinks!

Business travelers, you have our pity, but next time you see John and Jane Security, thank them from the bottom of your potentially hollow soles that there will not be gummy bears in excess on your flight.

And somewhere, Hans Riegel, who invented the treat in the 1920s, is auguring deeper into his grave.

ridget began flirting with a MySpace Internet “stranger,” much to the dismay of her best friend, Tom. Bridget made Tom promise not to tell anyone that she was having this encounter with a boy six years her senior. Bridget was 13.

Tom was uncomfortable not telling anyone because loyalty was a major part in their friendship.

Bridget began making personal cell calls to her Internet stranger until her mom took away her phone for running up long Becky Kapsalis distance charges. She Ask YiaYia never asked whom

Bridget was calling or why. Tom asked himself, “Where are the adults when you need them?”

Curiosity has, in my opinion, been a great deterrent to children’s compromising choices.

Curious-not-Nosey. Being curious requires us asking questions until our children feel comfortable with their choices. Being nosey simply suggests we want to know what’s going on without wanting to do anything about it.

Tom, meanwhile, watched Bridget sink deeper into dangerous waters.

We need to teach our children how to distinguish between a challenging and a dangerous situation. When something feels wrong, something is wrong. As often as the landscape changes, our gut stays the same. It’s our greatest moral compass.

Parents sometimes believe that because the game (environment) has changed the rules have as well. They haven’t. Tom’s gut told him something was wrong. Bridget’s gut told her something was wrong when her mom took

away her phone.

Their confidence in adults would have soared had her mom been curious, relieving Tom of his dilemma and Bridget of her predicament. We need to pay attention and act unashamedly on behalf of our children’s safety. Our gut lets us know the direction to take in protecting our children from themselves.

Lesson taught: When your gut says NO-NO but there’s YES-YES in your heart, FOLLOW YOUR GUT! I welcome your comments!

The meeting was full of doing and planning and learning and helping.

Maxiene was full of facts and statistics about the club and the history of its members. She pointed out that the average age of the Golden K Club is in the upper 70s. The phrase, “age is relative” came to mind as I thought about the accomplishments of the supposedly elderly members of our society sitting around the room. We are fortunate that rocking chairs and slowing down are not in the works for this special group. That makes them golden to us.

FUND-RAISER PUTS HABITAT ON TRACK TO BUILD 10 HOMES For Current In Carmel

It’s hard to imagine that hidden in cozy Hamilton County are several hundred residents living in tough times.

There are approximately 600 households in Hamilton County with family incomes less than $25,000, making it nearly impossible for them to afford a down payment on a house.

Fortunately, they live in a community where churches “come along side” them and ease their walk. Food pantries are abundant, as are health clinics. While Good Samaritan Agency coordinates most of the efforts, founder Nancy Chance is always the first to say that the need continues to grow.

Having a job is not the issue. Most are employed and in fact often have more than one job, typically in the service industry. You see them daily and probably can’t hear their desperation.

In an effort to offer a “hand up, not a hand out,” Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County recently hosted its second annual An Evening of Dollars A Feast for the Senses fundraiser at Bridgewater Country Club. More than 125 guests were entertained and furthered the cause of eliminating substandard housing. The $32,000 raised will help reach home-building goals. The organization hopes to build four homes this year, gradually increasing the number to 10 by 2010.

MICROSOFT HOPES FAMILIES BUY INTO SERVER High speed Internet, home networking and digital media (music, videos and pictures) have dramatically changed the needs of residential computer users over the past 10 years, and Microsoft is planning to introduce a new product this year to address these needs.

A typical household can easily have three or more computers, with important files and media scattered over all three.

File sharing on a peer-to-peer basis has been the norm in home networks, but Microsoft feels the time is right to introduce a product that is more like what businesses have used to manage their networks: a server.

Windows Home Server ( WHS) has been under development for a couple of years (codenamed Q or Quattro) with the intent of improving the home networking experience, specifically in the areas of sharing files, backing up everything on the network and accessing your information from anywhere inside or outside the home (via the Internet).

Server platforms have always been very technical to set up and maintain (and are expensive), so the big task for Microsoft is to make Windows Home Server “family friendly” and cost effective.

Despite the claims that it’s much easier to set up than a traditional Windows Server, the reality is that the average family isn’t inter-

ested in setting up a home server. So it really needs to address the needs of the semi-technical crowd.

WHS will be offered as an appliance (hardware and software ready to plug in) from major computer manufacturers or as software that can be installed on a computer that has at least a 1GHz processor, 512 Mb of RAM, an Ethernet port, a DVD ROM and a basic video card. Once you get it set up, you won’t need to have a keyboard, mouse or monitor plugged in because you can manage the server from any workstation or even remotely (from the office).

Our initial tests with the software have been fairly impressive and we see some real potential, especially for technically challenged households. But we have a long way to go before we see the final version.

Anyone who wants to evaluate the current Release Candidate can download a copy at http://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer, but it will only work for 30 days.

Keep your fingers crossed as this could be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to getting a handle on your home network!

to grandfather the already existing signs on display at the Old Town Shops.

“I think the street signs look really nice.

They also look like they’ll catch the street traffic really well,” said Cherie Piebes of Artisan Masterpiece. Piebes attended the meeting, along with six other business owners in the Old Town Shops.

After the vote, the business owners applauded the CRC. “I was pleased that everyone was resolved in one meeting with a plan that was smartly done,” John Heinzinger of Artisan Masterpiece said.

Carmel summer road projects

Tuesday, June 26, 2007

A plan to allow signs at the Old Town Shops was approved June 19 during the monthly meeting of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission.

Signs for businesses operating on the second and third levels will on a street-level board by the entrances of the stairwells.

CRC President Ron Carter says the signs for the upper levels preserve the architecture of the Old Town Shops by keeping the signs from crowding the face of the structure. The street signs will be 7-feet-tall for the businesses on the upper levels.

The plan was approved with a unanimous vote, including an amendment by Rick Sharp

ITEM: Protecting Our Citizen Soldiers BACKGROUND: “Citizen Soldiers” have been an essential part of our nation’s armed forces since the Minutemen. Now a call to active duty requires reservists to leave their civilian jobs and put their careers on hold in order to serve their country. Most employers welcome their citizen soldier employees back. A few do not. The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act (“USERRA”) protects a servicemember’s job rights.

RIGHTS: In general, USERRA: • Prohibits discrimination in employment based on an individual’s prior military service, current military obligations or present intent to join the Armed Forces.

• Provides re-employment rights to employees absent from work to perform military duties.

• Requires employers to provide “reasonable accommodations” to returning disabled veterans.

• Gives convalescing veterans up to two years to return to their jobs after leaving active duty.

I

PATIENCE AND HUMILITY AREN’T EASY TO PRACTICE

hate to admit it, but I know more about pride than patience or humility.

That’s exactly the reverse of what Christ tells us about living a Godly life.

As our perfect example, Christ is without pride, has unlimited patience and lived on this earth in total humility.

The Bible gives us many objective standards for a faith-based, Godly life: Abide in Christ. Be humble. Serve the Lord. Have faith. Love one another.

Pride means we are trusting ourself instead of God, and therefore very likely bearing a burden or anxiety — unnecessarily — that Christ’s death has already removed.

Patience means we are trusting the Lord; and truly trusting in the Lord means you’ll never have a problem with pride or fear or doubt because you know that God, not you, is in control and you trust Him totally. (That’s a really tough one.)

Humility means you don’t worry about yourself; you worry only about God’s will.

This is gibberish to a nonbeliever, I realize.

Christians — because Christ the perfect God/perfect man is eternally interceding with God — believe

God is in control of their individual lives.

“God is in control” is an especially tough truth when you or a loved one is hurting.

Or even if you’re just impatient.

Pride is the king of sins because we strongly pursue our self interest instead of God’s commands.

Bob Walters That’s what hapSpirituality pened in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) when Adam and Eve were tempted to doubt God’s goodness.

Impatience is my personal specialty, because when I see something I want …Uh, good time to bring up humility — what “I want” isn’t important. How can I figure out what God wants?

Reading the Bible, asking God in prayer, and then listening for His voice, is a great place to start.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com), a Carmel resident, reads Philippians 4:4-7 every day. Also, see Galatians 5:22-23. His views do not represent those of this newspaper.

Family members: Dick DeLor, 64; Joan DeLor, 64 Residence: 12688 Plum Creek Blvd.

Members of: King of Glory Lutheran Church Why we worship at King of Glory: We joined King of Glory Lutheran Church about a year ago after moving to Carmel from Crown Point, Ind. King of Glory’s motto is “A place to belong. A place to become.” We are happily experiencing both aspects!

From the very first visit we were greeted warmly by the members and especially by Pastors Paul and David. We have a choice of services: classic ELCA Lutheran liturgy, Praise, Contemporary and casual.

We usually attend the Praise service because the music, sometimes lively and sometimes less, really touches our souls. We attend Pastor Paul’s

study on Romans on Wednesday evenings. Discussions are lively and lead us into reading the Bible more than we ever have. From this study class we joined a small group Bible study. The people in our small group have become our closest friends. We have a great time together. We also reach out to the community through various projects. King of Glory has a great health and wellness program, but what really surprised us is that yoga and pilates classes are offered.

PUZZLES CARMELFEST 2007

22 12

AN INTRODUCTIOn TO CARMELFEST Dear Carmel community: Every year we, as Americans, celebrate our freedoms on the Fourth of July. Whether we gather as a family for a backyard barbecue, get together with friends, or take a trip to the beach, we all celebrate in one way or another. The people of Carmel have a wonderful tradition of coming together as a community every Fourth of July at CarmelFest.

CarmelFest is a community celebration held annually on July 3 and 4. Live music, games for the kids at the Riley Hospital North Kids’ Zone, food vendors, arts and crafts, and festival-style booths are just a sampling of the activities at CarmelFest. The Fourth of July kicks off with our annual Freedom Run, followed by the St. Vincent Heart Center Parade, which is packed with bands, floats, clowns and more. CarmelFest will be packed with entertainment for the entire family, culminating with a performance by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and arguably the best fireworks display in the Indianapolis area.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite each and every member or our great City of Carmel to join us in celebrating our nation’s holiday, CarmelFest style! If you have come

before, then come again. If this is your first time or are new to Carmel, then we welcome you, and we hope you enjoy all the traditions of CarmelFest.

Lastly, I would like to thank each and every person and organization that make CarmelFest a reality. CarmelFest is organized and run by a group of volunteers that dedicates itself to putting on a Fourth of July celebration of which we all can be proud.

Thank you to Mayor Jim Brainard and the City of Carmel, whose support and encouragement are unending. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Carmel, which provides much of the leadership to organize and run CarmelFest. Thank you to our community organizations who provide us every type of support imaginable.

Thank you to our corporate sponsors, who, through sponsorships and donations, make CarmelFest financially possible. And last but not least, thank you, citizens of Carmel, for your support year after year.

Without everyone pulling together, this celebration would not be possible.

See you at CarmelFest!

James Delgado, CarmelFest chairman

Father-daughter duo uncovers medallion, wins ‘beachy’ prize Current in Carmel There’s something to be said for perseverance, and Jack Holding and his 14-year-old daughter, Chloe, can tell you all about it.

The Carmel duo was as persistent as any in the quest to win the 2007 Hunt for the CarmelFest Medallion, and it paid off in a big way.

Holding, his daughter and two others of their choice will be heading to TradeWinds Island Resort on St. Petersburg Beach in Florida. It’s the reward for their winning efforts.

Current in Carmel, Clarian North Medical Center, Bardach Awards and CarmelFest 2007 sponsored the communitywide treasure hunt.

A clue was posted each day on the Current and Clarian Web sites, and the Holdings followed their instincts.

Ultimately, the medallion was found in Inlow Park in the westernmost playscape.

“This is exciting,” Holding said. “We had a feeling it would be there, and we found it.”

Said Chloe: “We’re going to Florida!”

Judging by the number of phone calls and e-mails to Current, the hunt was a big draw.

“We’re thrilled that the community participated in a big way,” said Steve Greenberg, Current’s executive vice president. “It was exciting to get the phone calls. All we could tell the callers was, ‘Trust your instincts.’ This is our first contest for the community, and we believe it gave Carmel a shot and CarmelFest perhaps some additional visibility; those were our goals, and we succeeded. We’ll do the Hunt for the Medallion again, and this by no means is the only community-focused contest we have planned.”

Holding, who was “bound and determined” to help get Chloe the trip to Florida, and his daughter will be honored at approximately 5 p.m. July 3 at the Gazebo during the Barometer Soup concert, a prelude to The Wright Brothers show at 7 p.m.

CULTIVATE some SERIOUS GROWTH.

23 13 FOR THE RECORD CARMELFEST 2007

Here’s the lineup of the 2007 St. Vincent Heart Center Parade, including notes about some of the entries. For up-to-the-minute changes, go to CarmelFest’s Web site, julycarmelfest.com.

The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 4 at Merchants Square. It will proceed north on AAA Way to Carmel Drive, then go west to Range Line and then north to Main Street. It will then turn east and end at Carmel High School.

Hey, people! It’s your Party Festival Queen will be in the parade. U.S. Rep. Dan Burton’s fire truck will be rolling in the parade with the man himself not too far behind.

Personalities from local television stations will make appearances also.

But the parade is only the tip of the iceberg.

CarmelFest will have plenty of music for young and old.

“We have a good mix of music planned for the Teen Stage,” Brian Carriger said. “There will be lots of alternative rock music. Some of the other bands are piano driven music and some more acoustic.”

Carriger is in charge of booking the bands and organizing the Teen Stage. It will feature local talent from the bands Accidental Fate, Going Now, Yesterday Heroes and Mardelay.

“We’ve had about 150 to 175 kids at the Teen Stage at one time, but the number always fluctuates,” Carriger said. The Teen Stage is 28 feet by 18 feet and features professional lighting. The stage is tucked away from the rest of CarmelFest, southwest of the Gazebo.

“A lot of the time you don’t want to be in the mix with your mom and dad. Our stage is a nice place for teens to get away for a while,” Carriger said.

Adult entertainment is also bigger and better this year. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra will be performing Wednesday for the Carmel-

Fest crowd from the Gazebo at Civic Square.

Barometer Soup will open for the Wright Brothers on Tuesday.

Booths will be set up around the fountain and the Gazebo. The Market Place, as it is being called, will be art oriented. Clarian North is helping out with the Riley Hospital North Kids Zone. The Kids Zone will offer games and activities for kids and families. Food vendors will be selling a variety of fare.

The highlight for everyone at CarmelFest is undoubtedly the fireworks.

“The fireworks presentation we have is arguably the best one in the state,” CarmelFest Chairman James Delgado said. The fireworks will last 22 minutes and open with a tribute to the women and men in the armed forces stationed overseas. An announcement will be made asking everyone to join and sing the “Star-Spangled Banner.” At the end of the song, a 100-shell mini-finale will occur. The show’s finale will have 300 shells. The fireworks will be synchronized with music played on B105.7 and start at 9:45 p.m. on July 4.

With all the excitement of CarmelFest reaching a head, an amazing turnout can be expected as usual. Make sure to mark your calendars for July 3 and 4 and celebrate “we the people” at CarmelFest.

By Brandon Bowman The theme for this year’s CarmelFest is “We the people.” It’s a perfect theme for the July Fourth holiday and also a direct reference to who the organizers of the event have in mind: You. CarmelFest, which unfolds in Civic Square, has been in the making for a year now. Last August, members of the organizing committee met and discussed 2006’s successes and failures. Then this year’s 300 volunteers got together to bring CarmelFest 2007 into being.

With progress in mind, CarmelFest is offering bigger and better things on July 3 and 4.

“Everyone involved with the parade has really made the parade better than ever,” said Barbara Ellis, who is in charge of the parade. $15,000 has been spent on the St. Vincent Heart Center Parade. “One of the floats is the Mayflower, and another is representing the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The floats have the audience’s entertainment in mind.”

Other sponsors of CarmelFest include the City of Carmel, Brighthouse, Conseco, Current In Carmel and B105.7, which will is sponsoring the fireworks.

Celebrities are always welcome at a parade, and this year is no exception. The Colts Cheerleading Squad will be marching, and the 500

about random pillaging and plundering. The idea they had a marketing strategy has taken a lot of the romance out of this swashbuckling thing.

The other about?” I asked Brett. “I’m finding this very sound was SHHHHHHHHHH, which was the hard to follow.” collective request of the people “Dad, it’s not your fault. You behind me in the theater, mostly didn’t see the first two Pirate adults who I am sure were just movies. It’s like taking Spanish III as confused as me, but weren’t without taking Spanish I or II.” smart enough to bring a college That made me feel a little kid with them to explain things. better, except that I failed Spanish So, was anyone else as III, despite a year in an exchange perplexed about the movie? I went program in Madrid at some to Rottentomatoes.com, a Web site place they called a universidad. chock-full of critiques of current The fact is I did see the first two films. The very first review of installments, “Curse of the Black Pirates I read said this: Pearl” and “Dead Man’s Chest,” The movie is a convoluted, but I was still as lost as a sunken ponderous, joyless spectacle treasure. After each movie, I felt Dick Wolfsie whose lack of charm is matched like I had ship for brains.

I remember when my his children to the movies, too. son was 6 and we first saw the movie about My wife suggested I should see the movie the green-tinted ogre, Shrek… again if I was still baffled.

accounts, a sterling fellow as well as a good baseball player.

“Oh, yah,” said my friend Paul Thoronson, who has one of those great Minnesota accents, the kind you think Garrison Keillor is exaggerating on “A Prairie Home Companion” until you hear one coming out of someone standing near you who has nothing to do with a radio show. Such as Paul.

“Yah,” Paul continued, “he’s a good hitter there, got some good hits yesterday. He’s a good catcher, too, with a good arm. And he calls a pretty good game.”

“Hey,” I said to Paul. (Being Hoosier, I start my sentences with “Hey” instead of “Yah.”) “Maybe I should get a Twins jersey with ‘Redmond’ on the back.”

“Yah, you could,” said Paul, “but I think they’re kinda spendy.”

(That, by the way, was the exact moment when I fell head over heels for Minnesota.

I love a state where people use “spendy” as a synonym for “expensive.”)

Now, I am far from the first person to share his name with someone famous. I have a great friend named Ginger Rogers, and I know of a doctor named Robert Goulet. They might have heard their names on TV but I doubt they saw their names on the back of a spendy shirt. Which I think I’m going to have to buy, spendy (I’m using that word from now on) though it might be.

I looked him up, and you know, the other Mike Redmond seems like the kind of person it is a pleasure to share a name with. I hope he might think the same. Who knows? Maybe someday he’ll want a shirt with my name on it.

I promise it won’t be spendy.

o there I was, watching a ball game in Minneapolis, when I heard the public address announcer intone: “Now batting (-ing-inging)… Number Fifty-five (-ive-ive-ive)… Mike (-ike-ike-ike) REDMOND! (-mond!-mond!mond!)”

Wow. Talk about living the dream.

It sounded exactly like the voice that rang through the ballpark of my imagination, every time I left the on-deck circle to bat for the legendarily bad Brighton Wildcats in the Noble-LaGrange Half-Pint Baseball League, back during the Golden Age of Kidhood.

The number was different back then — I was Number Twentythree (reeereee-reee) — but other than that, it was exactly the same, right down to the echo (Redmond!mond!mond!mond!”) still ringing through the imaginary cheap seats as I dug in and took a few menacing practice swings with my Rocky Colavito autograph model Louisville Slugger.

What baseball-playing kid didn’t have the same fantasy? Oh, sure, we all imagined ourselves, at times, to be our idols — Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Clay Dalrymple — but who among us didn’t also imagine his own name coming over the public address system?

It was right up there with having your own play-by-play announcer (“that’s Redmond on the fast break… he shoots… he scores!”) or your own theme music for when you played cops (mine was a James Bondish, Secret Agent-y twangy guitar thing).

And here it was happening to me for real: My name on the P/A. I must tell you, it’s a strange feeling, to hear your name being called out in a large public space like that … especially when it’s your name, but it’s not you the guy is talking about.

You see, the Mike Redmond (mond… mond… mond) being announced is a catcher for the Minnesota Twins, who is, by all

2. Smear on sunscreen to help lower body temperature, per an Oregon State University study.

3. Put petroleum jelly or Runner’s Lube between toes, thighs, and underarms to help avoid skin-to-skin friction and heat.

4. Wear cooling clothes (breathable, loose fitting, and light in color) and a brimmed cotton hat to protect your head and face from the sun’s damaging rays.

WHAT’S IT WORTH?

By John Pacilio, RE/MAX Ability Plus IN MY OPINION:

$325K

• Type: Maintenance-free • Age: Built in 1994 • Location: Near Keystone and 126th Street.

• Neighborhood: The Enclave of Carmel is a low maintenance community with lawn care services and pond views.

• Square footage: 2,164 • Rooms: This three bedroom two and a half bath home offers tall twostory ceilings, a formal dining room, two-sided fireplace in the living and breakfast rooms, main floor master suite and an additional upstairs storage room.

• Strengths: This home has great curb appeal, displays many custom trim details, and utilizes a very

private deck with picturesque views of an adjacent pond. This is one of a handful of maintenance free neighborhoods for those who prefer this lifestyle—leave the yard work for someone else. It is in a convenient location for travel within Carmel near Keystone and 126th.

• Challenges: Construction south of 126th Street on the 116-acre Gramercy project will continue for a number of years. The yards in this community tend to be smaller than other suburban yards and this property is no exception. Buyers are purchasing the low maintenance lifestyle as much as the home.

Yes, a bundle of contradictions. It seems that these days, “authentic” Levi Strauss jeans — the kind that used to cost $20 back in the day — are being reproduced in Asia by an outfit called Sugar Cane and start at around $300 a pair. In fact, these Sugar Cane copies are actually even more authentic than Levi’s own reissues of its original designs: “Only Sugar Cane’s $450 copies of the 1955 Levi’s use original Scovill zippers bought from dealers in vintage stock.” So true are Sugar Cane’s copies that Levi’s is suing them.

FINISHES ARE MORE THAN SURFACE DEEP

A

s with most things, decorative painting and faux finishes are nothing new.

When one considers the rich frescoes of Rome, the remains of ancient murals of historic European structures, gold leafing and relief work of the late nineteenth century, it becomes apparent that the art has been practiced for hundreds and hundreds of years.

The contemporary faux finish industry has evolved from an art form to an industry that has one foot in the arena of traditional painting and the other in interior decorating.

I have to confess that for the past few years, faux finish has been on the bottom of my list of design Vicky Earley Decor recommendations.

The term alone evoked an image of the spongy-smooshy look that, unfortunately, lived a long and healthy life in the 1990s. Coupled with the stenciled border, the faux finish that was being proffered by anyone armed with a rag and glaze was a trend that I was happy to see end.

Today we have finish technique artists that

produce work in way that closely resembles the work of fine historic artists and craftsmen.

There is a new breed on the scene and I like what I am seeing. The new finishes really should be termed “artistic finishes” to disassociate then with the looks of the past decade.

Mark Roger, owner of Art & Texture in the Village of West Clay, agrees. “Gone is the day of faux painters. We are now a studio of local artists who specialize in creating finishes

— marbles and stones, metals, plasters as well as traditional decorative painting such as faux and murals,” he said.

Upon touring Roger’s studio, I discovered display boards that looked like aging copper, samples of plaster that appeared to be from an earlier century, and painted bricks that begged to be touched. I saw marbles that looked so real, I expected to touch them and feel the cold of real marble.

Artistic finish is not just for the walls anymore. Roger’s studio is known for blending furniture finishes customarily found on walls with finishes customarily found on furniture.

Animal skin finish on tables and faux burled wood are just the beginning.

Artistic finishes have moved outdoors, as well. Roger, along with the artisans at Art & Texture recently refinished the exterior trim of a home in turned-copper, giving it a look of age and history.

Roger described the difference in the new art finishes: they are rich in dimension. The finishes of 2007 are deeper with more and more layers. They are created in a way that draws the observer into the finish. I found myself asking, more than once “How did they do that?”

Jane During, owner of Massachusetts Avenue’s Kuaba Gallery, is working with Lurie to open a second location for her business.

“If I had found a space I liked, I’d already be planning to open in it,” During said, who plans another scouting trip to Carmel soon.

Lurie continues to meet with gallery owners within a 200-mile radius of Carmel to invite them to be part of the district.

“Each gallery has a unique look and quality based on each owner’s eye,” Lurie said. “It’s exciting to see the mix, and new spaces like Soori Gallery bring another piece of the puzzle to the table.”

The area’s reputation is growing as each new gallery joins Interior of Laguna Gallery existing ones like Wes Dwyer’s Art courtesy of Damian Heine, Laguna Gallery and Soul, which opened in January 2007 at Main and Range Line Road.

Evan Lurie, owner of Evan Lurie Fine Art Gallery on Main Street, set to open this fall, has been actively recruiting gallery owners to relocate to the Carmel Arts & Design District on behalf of Mayor Jim Brainard and the city. Several new art galleries are scheduled to open this summer, adding to the district’s national reputation.

Damian Heine and Nick Pronesti opened Laguna Gallery at 25 W. Main St. on June 2. With 900 square feet of gallery space devoted to painting and floral arrangements, they are excited about joining other galleries in Carmel.

“We were impressed with what Evan, the mayor and the city are doing to create a presence for Photo Carmel,” Heine said. “Ultimately, Laguna Gallery hopes to be a destination for art and design, along with other galleries in the district, attracting art enthusiasts from across the Midwest.”

Heine had a gallery in Fort Wayne several years ago, and he has spent about nine months getting ready for the new venture in Carmel. Offering paintings by West Coast artists and painted tropical flowers, the gallery’s name reflects its West Coast influences.

Also wooed by Lurie, Soori Ardalan is

moving the Soori Gallery from Zionsville to a 3,000-square-foot space in Gunstra’s Monon and Main complex in Carmel.

“I wasn’t really planning to move the gallery, but I got a warm invitation from Evan, so I came and looked at the area,” Ardalan said.
