1830s-era home could be saved

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

A proposed development of empty nester homes on Carmel’s east side looked like it would threaten a historic home built in 1834.

But after the developer, development Beazer Homes Indiana, gave a tour inside to local historic preservationists, a plan could be developed to save the house.

Ty Rinehart, vice president of land acquisition for Beazer, said he will soon meet with Indiana Landmarks and the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission to hear a proposal.

Rinehart said initially Beazer thought the home at 2724 E. 136th St. was in bad shape, but it is open to a solution where Indiana Landmarks could buy the land and then sell the house to someone who would be willing to fix it up and live in it. Emily Ehrgott, executive director of the Carmel Clay Historical Society, purchased the 1886 McShane House from Indiana Landmarks in 2012 and spent $125,000 to renovate the home, but that included a lot of work done by Emily and her husband, Paul.

If the home is saved, Rinehart said Beazer would likely lose two lots. Currently, 164 homes are planned in the development with a density of 2.9 homes per acre.

On June 14, Beazer brought in a large group of people to tour the home, which originally started as a two-story log cabin in 1834 before Georgian-style additions were made.

“The house is in surprisingly good condition, given the fact that it was built before the Civil

War and has been vacant several years,” said Mark Dollase from Indiana Landmarks, who toured the home.

Ehrgott said it’s in much better shape than her historic home was before she started the remodeling process.

City councilor Bruce Kimball, who also serves on the Carmel Plan Commission, called the house “a window into the community’s roots.”

“While Carmel is seeing tremendous change that will keep it from being a boom and bust suburb, we can’t forget our past,” he said.

Dollase said the next step will be to have a meeting with Beazer Homes and its representatives about how the house and surrounding site can be incorporated into its larger development.

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has received two bids from developers to purchase the land behind the Carmel Fire Dept. development headquarters.

The city was looking to sell the parking lot to a developer to turn it into condos. The CRC had the 3.3 acres of land appraised at approximately $3.7 million for Meyer the site, but the bids fell far short of that value.

One company, Onyx & East, bid $300,000, while another, an F.C.C. Development partnership, bid $1,000.

CRC Director Corrie Meyer said the bids might be lower than the value of the land because there are a lot of public infrastructure improvements that the developers would have to make, such as possibly building a parking garage, relocating a street, dealing with stormwater drainage and relocating utilities. It could be similar to how the CRC sold the Party Time Rental land to Anderson Birkla for $50,000 even though it purchased the property for $3 million in 2009. Anderson Birkla is building a parking garage and new roads.

“They are investing in the public infrastructure, which would offset the cost of the land,” Meyer said.

Meyer said the new project also would be required to accommodate city vehicles in the potential parking garage. It’s possible 200 condo units could be constructed.

“The commission has the right to reject these two proposals if they are not what we are looking for,” she said.

“What I saw during the week as we threw officers into the command position was that they didn’t have any issues with it because they’d already done it many times,” Jellison said.

Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay School board met June 26 to discuss school lunch prices and unstructured play, among other items.

What happened: The school board approved a 5-cent increase in lunch prices at the elementary and secondary levels.

What it means: The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 requires school districts to increase lunch prices by a minimum of 5 cents to close the gap between the federal free meal reimbursement rate ($3.22) and the paid meal price set by the district. Elementary lunches will be $2.45 and secondary lunches will be $2.65.

What’s next: The price changes go into effect for the 2017-18 school year. The additional funds will offset increased costs stemming from the Affordable Care Act and equipment replacement.

What happened: CCS Supt. Nicholas Wahl announced that unstructured play and recess options will be a big component of the next elementary education program evaluation.

What it means: Wahl cited recent pediatric studies that show the connection between time for unstructured play and student achievement, cognitive development and other benefits. He said that principals have given their teachers the freedom to use unstructured play and brain breaks as works best for their own classrooms.

What’s next: The evaluation will take place during the 2017-18 school year.

A week-long workshop in Hollywood in the spring has become a source of great motivation for illustraillustrator tor Ryan Richmond.

The Carmel resident, who graduated from Herron School of Art and Design in 2016, had qualified for the workshop by being a winner in the Illustrators of the Future contest.

During the workshop, Richmond created his illustration for the story “Acquisition” by author Jake Marley, who was the writing grand prize winner.

“Each illustrator was paired with a writer, and we were tasked with creating an illustration that embodied the story submitted by our writer companion,” said Richmond, a 2012 Franklin Community High School graduate. “They set up all of our unidentified illustrations in a room, and the writers were then allowed to come in and find their respective illustrations. There were a lot of laughs, screams, embracing, and even some tears as we, the illustrators, joined our writers once they happened upon their illustration. Bonds were formed immediately.”

Richmond said he and Marley have become good friends.

“The whole night was a celebration of creativity and camaraderie. I’ll never forget it,” Richmond said.

The story appears in the anthology, “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 33.”

“From there, led by the amazing team of

Echo and Lazarus Chernik, we were given a crash course on the specifics of how to work as professional artists, which is something that, unfortunately, isn’t taught or talked about much,” Richmond said.

Since returning home in April, Richmond worked on and completed two comic books, one of which he has been fine-tuning on and off with the creator for nearly a year.

The comic book is called “ROOTS” and will debut at either Long Beach Comic Con or Los Angeles Comic Con. The other comic book was a month-long project.

“These projects were very rewarding to complete, as I never thought of myself as a comic book artist,” Richmond said. “Aside from those, though, I’ve completed several personal pieces as a way to build up my portfolio for prospective jobs.”

CHS student earns jazz honor

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Emma Hedrick fell in love with jazz music when she was 11 years old.

Little did she know achievement that one day she’d be named “Outstanding Vocal Jazz Soloist” in the student division

by DownBeat Magazine, a national magazine that focuses on jazz.

“DownBeat Magazine is so influential in the jazz world, and I am extremely honored to have received this award,” she said.

Hedrick, who recently completed her junior year at Carmel High School, found her interest in jazz by singing Duke Ellington standards as part of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir and decided she wanted to learn more about singing jazz music. She delved into Cecile McLorin Salvant, Thelonious Monk, Count Basie and, of course, Ella Fitzgerald, her biggest musical influence.

“I started listening to her when I was first learning jazz, and her music is still just as exciting to me,” Hedrick said.

Hedrick started competing in solo jazz performances, and in 2012 and 2014 she was a finalist at CarmelFest Has Talent. At age 12, she was invited to perform on Cole Porter’s piano for his family. In 2014, she was — at age 14 — the youngest artist at

Hedrick started her own band, The Main Street Jazz Band, at age 14. She’s not only the lead singer and keyboard player, but she’s the band leader. She books shows, promotes the band, arranges songs and schedules lineups.

“Leading a band comes with its own unique challenges,” she said. “I have found it difficult to be confident and in control of everyone and their busy schedules, but I have definitely gained a lot of valuable experience by directing the combo.”

‘Roadshow’ appraiser makes stop

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Gary Piattoni warns every audience not to be too disappointed if they learn their antiques are really not all antiques that valuable.

Piattoni, who has worked as an appraiser on “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS for 21 years, made a special private appearance at The Barrington of Carmel, a senior living community, June 7.

“Sometimes, they’re surprised, and sometimes, they’re disappointed,” said Piattoni, who is based in Evanston, Ill. Piattoni said when he does a private event like the one at The Barrington, he tries to limit it to 50 or 60 people with items in a two-hour session.

When he was younger, Piattoni collected World War II items.

“I’ve done a lot of military items for the ‘Roadshow,’ and I’ll buy a piece or two if I see something interesting,” Piattoni said. “I don’t collect much anymore.”

Marilyn Halvorson, a Barrington resident, brought an item to each session, including a Homestead purchase document from South Dakota that was her grandfather’s.

The document was signed by President Woodrow Wilson. Piattoni told Halvorson

there is not a great demand for Wilson’s autograph and later told her it was worth approximately $200.

“I chuckled when he said it would be worth more if it was Abraham Lincoln,” Halvorson said. “He’s great, he makes it fun.”

In addition to his appraisals, Piattoni explained how the “Antiques Roadshow” is taped and how he alerts the producer if there is an interesting item and he thinks the person who owns it will do well on camera. He doesn’t tell people what it’s worth until they film.

“We want the original reaction to be honest and exciting,” Piattoni said.

Scouts earn Gold Awards

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

OPEN DAILY 7AM-2PM (317) 818-1700 • 9435 N. Meridian Street (Next to Daddy Jack’s)

Two Carmel residents earned the highest honor a Girl Scout can receive, a Gold Award, during Girl philanthropy Scouts of Central Indiana’s Girls of Distinction ceremony June 17 at the Marriott in Indianapolis. The award requires Scouts to complete service projects that improve the community.

Jamie Goetz, a 2017 Carmel High School graduate, followed her passion in choosing her project.

“I wanted to make sure Goetz my project was something I was really passionate about and really cared about and wanted my community to benefit from. That was travel, and doing it at a young age,” she said. “I think a lot of kids want to travel, they just don’t know how to make it financially possible. It was kind of showing them all the opportunities that are out there for them, then how they could make it happen.”

Goetz created a website to showcase her research. Her love of travel began at an early age, and she’s traveled the world ever since.

Mackenzie Gonzalez, who will be a senior at CHS in the fall, approached a family friend to see if his church could provide inspiration for a project.

“We’re family friends with Father Michael at St. Gabriel Church. So when I knew I needed to complete a project, we went to him first,” Gonzalez said. “They are currently under a lot of renovation. There was one room that was half storGonzalez age, half library. It wasn’t a very effective working space. I took on the task of renovating that room.”

Both girls are grateful to receive the award.

“It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do since I started in Girl Scouts, so finally achieving what was once so intangible, I’m kind of proud,” Gonzalez said.

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Julia Person has been hard at work this year, serving as a full-time crew chief for the U.S. Air Force Reserves military and attending IU-Kokomo as a part-time student studying history and political science.

“It’s cool to do something out of the ordinary,” Person said.

Person, 32, said she commutes more than 500 miles a week between her home in Carmel, the base in Peru and school.

As a crew chief, Person is tasked with the day-to-day handling and servicing of the airplanes. She maintains a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft.

“I like having a tangible result of what I do,” she said. “I take care of the aircrafts and I get to see them fly and land successfully and complete missions. To me, that’s really rewarding to have a direct line of sight to what I do.”

Person graduated in May and will have a commission as an officer in the Air Force Reserve. She said within the next five years she plans to earn a master’s degree in library science and one day pursue a career as a military or government archivist.

Person grew up in Battle Creek, Mich., and moved to Carmel from Noblesville in 2010. Through her work as crew chief, she

has traveled to Okinawa, Hawaii, Guam, Germany and England.

“I have all sorts of experiences under my belt I wouldn’t have otherwise had,” Person said.

Person has several hobbies, including knitting, singing and reading, but she often doesn’t have time in her busy schedule to do them. Her typical day consists of working out at the gym, attending school and going to work.

Person said she will be the officer in charge of quality assurance at Grissom Air Force Base.

Freedom Run kicks off festivities

By Christine Fernando news@currentincarmel.com While some might use the Fourth of July as an excuse to sleep in on a Tuesday morning, nearly 1,000 people will race gather at Carmel High School at 8 a.m. to run 4.5 miles as part of the annual Freedom Run. The event will include 4.5- and 1.5-mile races that will snake past CHS, through part of the Monon Trail and onto the CarmelFest parade route.

“It’s a pretty fast, flat course,” organizer Don Carr said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Pre-registration for both runs is $23 while race day registration is $28. A portion of proceeds will go toward CarmelFest organizers to help continue the festival’s annual traditions.

However, the kids fun run for children younger than 10 is free, and all finishers will receive a popsicle.

Carr said the fun run is one of the most popular children’s runs in the Indianapolis area.

“People love it,” he said. “And it’s great to see all the kids and parents come out and have a good time. It’s fun for the whole family.”

Carr said the best part of every race is watching people cross the finish line with smiles.

He said it’s not uncommon to see runners finish wearing red, white and blue tutus, or with American flags draped over their shoulders or wearing Statue of Liberty outfits. The costumes are the perfect way for runners to show their patriotism or to try to win the event’s costume contest, Carr said.

Each year, Carr begins working with his company, Tuxedo Brothers, along with radio station HANK FM; CarmelFest; CHS and the City of Carmel in early spring to make the event a success.

But he said the event would be impossible without the volunteers who man the two water stations and help set up the morning of the event. He said he encourages people to fill out the volunteer form online to help out or at least to earn free refreshments and a T-shirt.

“It’d be a lot harder to bring this all together without our volunteers, so we’re very thankful for them,” he said.

But most of all, Carr said he encourages people to celebrate their patriotism and holiday spirit by coming out to run.

“It’s a fun, healthy thing to do to kick off a holiday, spend time with friends and family and celebrate America’s birthday,” he said. “And I think it’s a lot of fun.”

“Ready – Set – Celebrate”

By Cindy Roberts-Greiner To make the most of your CarmelFest celebration, here are some tips: • Pack light – but bring some essentials - A water bottle, small packets of wet naps (for sticky fingers or just to cool off), sunscreen & cell phone • CarmelFest allows coolers to bring in your own food & drinks - but festival fare is great and food & beverage vendors are plentiful.

SunKing hosts a beer & wine tent.

• Know the times & stages for your favorite shows - CarmelFest offers Free Entertainment on 3 stages. The complete schedule is on our web site and signs are posted by each stage.

• Make a Meeting plan for picking

up teens or joining friends. The festival will be filled with lots of people. Agree on a meeting spot (in advance).

• Walk or bike to the festival. The new construction can make parking tough; bikes can be racked at "Pedal & Park" on the Monon.

• Stake out your space - There's room for your own chairs & blankets on the Gazebo lawn. There are picnic tables and grassy spots by the Japanese Garden (south side of the KidZone area.) The North Zone area has tables with umbrellas and spots to set up chairs.

• Leave your pets at home – Please respect the “no pets” policy for the safety of your pets and festival goers.

Carmel family launches specialty bakery to provide opportunities for people with autism

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As his 18th birthday approached, Jacob Henley knew that he wanted to become a chef. After all, he’d been COVER STORY concocting his family’s own recipes in the kitchen for years, as he required a glutenand dairy-free diet long before it entered the mainstream.

There was just one problem: he has autism, and his verbal skills would have made finding and keeping a job in a traditional kitchen a tall order. But he didn’t let that stop him from chasing his dream.

Jacob, 20, teamed with his mother, Shelly Henley, to launch No Label at the Table.

Every Friday, the Carmel residents and their employees — all people on the autism spectrum — rent space at 5280 Pantry Project in Fishers to bake a variety of items to sell at the Carmel, Fishers and Brownsburg farmers markets the next day.

And after just a couple months of being in business, they’ve already found success.

Their snickerdoodles have sold out every week, and their ginger and lemon almond cookies are becoming top sellers, too.

“We pride ourselves in being indistinguishable (from items with dairy or gluten) or better,” Shelly said.

Facing a cliff

The idea for No Label at the Table sparked when Shelly realized her family was about to “fall off the cliff,” a phrase

“In many cases they’re the most ideal employees,” she said.

“Once you train them, they’re there.”

After seeing the difference No Label at the Table has made in her daughter’s life in such a short time, Reed is hoping its success mulitplies.

“I’m hoping that this will spark other ideas in other parents who are able to do something similar to create other employment opportunities, because there are so many young adults who cannot function in a typical job setting,” she said. “I’m hoping this can be the start of something bigger, that there can be other opportunities out there like this for other individuals who need this.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Happy birthday, USA Commentary by Terry Anker For 241 years old, you look terrific. Sure, you are not as young as you used to be. The knees may creak a bit and you may not be quite as far ahead in the race as you once were. But in many ways, you are at the top of your game. Your economic might is renown. You’ve worked hard to educate and provide for your family – and helped with the lives of scores of others not able to do it themselves. Maybe you’d do a few things differently if you had it to do all over again, but mostly it is turning out OK. Still, times are changing. And despite occasional resistance, you are changing with them.

Life milestones cause us to pause and take stock. We think about our decisions.

We think about where we sit in relation to our hopes, dreams and, honestly, to our high school nemesis! Are we falling behind, keeping up, or surging ahead? Yet mostly, the anniversaries push us to consider the future – to adjust and course-correct. Anyone who has taken a trip or two around the sun will tell you that regret accomplishes little unless it guides us to pursue a new and better tact.

Although most agree that our own nation is no longer adolescent, it is impossible to know where we might be along the way.

Young family? Middle-age? Twilight? Even as pundits debate whether the nation is on or off track, we might ask ourselves the same questions. Are we at peace with our past? Do we have a plan to advance? Time only moves in one direction – forward.

Happy Birthday, USA. We hope it is a good one.

READERS ’ V I EWS Freedom: A wonderful word Editor, As the official non-mayor of Carmel, I was standing in line for tickets to tour Independence Hall the other day. Being Carmel-friendly, I struck up a conversation with the young woman in front of me in line. Turns out she had just arrived from the Czech Republic.

“Why come here?” I asked.

“To learn about freedom,” she replied.

“A wonderful word,” I replied.

“Oh, yes.”

After 70 years of Communist rule. Oh, yes.

I hope each of us Carmelinians feel that way this 4th of July.

Erin McDonald, Carmel

Well, friends, it’s official. My transformation to Dance Mom, capital D, capital M, is finally complete. I am currently humor crying alone in a Midwest hotel room over my daughter’s jazz solo score. As I sit on the floor in between the beds, I am actually cursing the judges and blaspheming sweet baby Jesus because my precious little angel didn’t receive higher marks. I mean, seriously.

I’m not the 13-year-old here. What is wrong with me?

I’ll tell you what’s wrong. I’ve gotten sucked into this racket, hook, line and sinker. I’ve somehow come to accept the opinions of three strangers as truth, as the only legitimate evaluation of my child’s abilities. I’ve forgotten that this is but one day, one stage, one dance among probably hundreds of performances these judges will see. And more importantly, I’ve forgotten that instead of breaking out my mama bear claws and plotting revenge, I should be focusing on why I allow my daughter to compete in the first place – for fun!

Although I’ve been able to explain the difference between contemporary jazz and lyrical jazz for some time now (contemporary is sad and/or angry while lyrical is happy and joyful. Duh!), and I do admit to buying hairnets and false eyelashes in bulk, I’ve always labeled myself a “dance mom,” lower case with quotations. I mocked those silly mothers who clearly are living vicariously through their children and plastic adjudication trophies, who become so wrapped up in the dance world that they forget this is about the kids, not them.

Hypocrisy noted. And though I vow to stave off all future hotel hysterics, I fear my journey to the Dark Side is complete. I’m a Dance Mom. Peace out.

Clerk-treasurer looking out for taxpayers Editor, After reading in the last several issues of Current in Carmel about the drama relating to the funding of the Carmel Christkindlmarkt, it is very obvious the only person looking out for us taxpayers is Clerk-Treasurer Christine Pauley. Ron Carter should apologize to her for his

unsubstantiated remarks about her. If she does choose to run for higher office, I will be glad to vote for her. As for Ron Carter, she may indeed be “your” bookkeeper and that’s it, but “we” the taxpayers in Carmel are “your” boss! Don’t forget that!

Korean War vets to serve as Grand Marshal unit

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Korean War veterans from across Indiana will gather to lead the 2017 CarmelFest parade as a Grand Marshal unit.

Veterans will ride in a classic car with poster-sized versions of their military photo carried by a family member, friend or volunteer.

“With the Korean (War) veterans and any of the miliButler tary personnel we have in the parade, it’s something for them to finally get the recognition that they may not have received when they returned home,” said Bec Hunter, co-director of the parade.

Cpl. Melvin Butler, who grew up in Lawrence but now lives in Fishers, will be part of the Grand Marshal unit this year. Butler joined the army at age 18 in 1949.

On February 11, 1951, Butler and two other men were taken as prisoners of war. The U.S. forces were supporting the South Korean army in Hoengsong, South Korea when Chinese forces drove through the first line of defense. Butler said the Chinese soldiers released hand grenades and everyone fled

Military jet flyover confirmed for CarmelFest In light of the fact that the Indy Eleven CarmelFest Parade will feature Korean War Veterans in the Grand Marshal unit and include more than 200 past, present and newly enlisted military personnel in the Grand Finale, parade directors have been working hard to arrange for a military jet flyover at the start of the parade.

CarmelFest Parade Co-Director Bec​​Hunter​has arranged for the ​military flyover​, ​officially approved by the National Guard.

“The military flyover will be an added honor for all veterans and military personnel. And one more way for us to recognize the commitment they have all made to keep our country free​,” Hunter stated. ​ Two A-10 “Warthog” j​ ets from the Ft.

Fireworks show bigger, brighter

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

According to Jeff Worrell, fireworks chairman for CarmelFest, this year’s fireworks show will be bigger, brighter and more colorful than ever.

“It’s a totally reworked show,” Worrell said.

The show also has a new sponsor, Centier Bank, which has made an investment into CarmelFest to help make this year’s fireworks show the best one yet. The Centier Bank CarmelFest Fireworks Celebration will be synchronized to music on WHJE Carmel High School radio 91.3 FM. CHS student Jackson Ammons helped put together the synchronized program.

The fireworks show is nearly 25 minutes long. It will begin at 9:45 p.m. July 4 and can be viewed throughout the Carmel Arts & Design District, at the Carmel Gazebo or the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. The fireworks will be launched just north of The Palladium and to the east of the Monon.

Worrell said the fireworks are a signature part of CarmelFest.

“It’s the grand finale of a day-and-a -half event,” he said. “Young and old come

together with great anticipation to see a fantastic show.”

Residents can purchase spark buttons to show their patriotism and support for the event. The buttons are $5 at all of the CarmelFest stages. The spark buttons have been a CarmelFest tradition since the early 1990s.

Road closures won’t affect fest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s been a busy road construction season in Carmel, but the good news is there will be no construction impediments to fun during CarmelFest July 3-4.

“We’ve kind of scheduled things in that part of town so that things will be wrapping up for the Fourth of July holiday,” said Joshua Kirsh, a member of the Carmel Plan Commission and engineering administrator for the city. “We won’t start any new projects until after the holiday.”

Kirsh said city officials have done their best to limit conflicts for those heading to the parade and festivities. Shuttles will be available from the Center for the Performing Arts garage to take people to CarmelFest.

“It’s also easy to walk straight down the Monon from The Palladium,” said James Bednarski, the parking coordinator for CarmelFest.

There is parking available when permitted on the street and at the Indiana Design Building.

Vocal semifinalists to compete

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Katrien Vanderbeck is no stranger to CarmelFest has Talent.

This time Vanderbeck, 19, was selected as a semifinalist in the 18 and older division. A 2016 Carmel High School graduate, she has participated in CarmelFest Has Talent a few times before in differColburn ent age categories.

“It’s a light, fun competition, and it’s a good chance to perform in front of the community,” said Vanderbeck, who will start her sophomore year studying commercial voice at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., in the fall. “And I’m a broke college kid, and money is always helpful.”

The semifinalists earn $50. Third place pays $100, second place pays $250 and the winner earns $500.

The five semifinalists in the divisions will sing one song from 3:30 to 5 p.m. July 3. The remaining three finalists in each division will compete for the title from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. July 4. Finalists can sing

the same song as the previous day or sing a new one.

Vanderbeck participated in CHS Ambassadors, the mixed show choir, for two years.

Robbie Schloemer, a Carmel resident who will be a junior at Highlands Latin School in Indianapolis this fall, had auditioned once before for CarmelFest but was selected this time for the 13-17 age division.

“It’s another opportunity for me to sing,” Schloemer said. “I love singing. My voice is a gift that God has given me, and this is another way to use that gift.”

the semifinalists 12 and younger: Ben Boyce, Carmel; Abigail Poe, Noblesville; Meg Meredith Robinson, Plymouth; Ruby Schoette, Indianapolis; Lauren Sciaudone, Westfield Ages 13 to 17: Peter Fulton, Fishers; Breanna Jaffe, Indianapolis; Ilene Marzke, Fishers; Robbie Schloemer, Carmel; Anissa Washington, Kokomo 18 and older: Taylor Bickett, Carmel; Grace Eckelbarger, Noblesville; Kiara Price, Indianapolis; Katrien Vanderbeck, Carmel; Jake Venable, Indianapolis

Guitar event changes name

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The name of the CarmelFest guitar entertainment program has changed again, but the acts are much the same.

Guitars and Stars, which was known as Guitar-mel Fest prior to 2016, will be rebranded as the Hoosier Crossroads Music Festival July 3 on the North Zone Stage. The entertainment begins at 3 p.m. From 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., CarmelFest will present featured performances by Indy Music legends Benito DiBartoli, Doug Henthorn, Paul Holdman, Gordon Bonham and Tad Robinson.

“We have basically all the same headliners back on July 3 and 4 that are fanfavorites,” said Brian Carriger, CarmelFest entertainment chairman. “Moving forward, this will be elite area talent. We hope to add other people from around the area but also add a variety of people that are lesser known. It’s really just a showcase of Indiana talent, which is what the festival has always promoted.”

This is Carriger’s 13th and final year directing the festival’s entertainment.

“I’ll still be involved in an advisory role and help the transition to 2018 and beyond, if needed,” Carriger said.

Benito DiBartoli is among the performers at the Hoosier Crossroads Music Festival. (File photo)

Up until the 2016 CarmelFest, Carriger was the co-chair with Sue Westermeier.

Carriger said Westermeier was instrumental in the development of the program.

“There’s been a lot of great years, but in my opinion, it’s probably time for some new blood to bring in some fresh ideas,” Carriger said.

New acts on the Gazebo Stage will be The Spoon Man Jim Cruise and The Amy Duke Band. New on the North Stage will be Airstream Betty, Top Shelf and Station to Station. The entertainment will be from 3 to 10:30 p.m. July 3 and noon to 9:45 p.m.

Entertainment host joins fest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

When CarmelFest entertainment director Brian Carriger found he had money in the budget for a master of ceremonies, he reached out to Tony Schaab.

“He has a lot of charisma,” Carriger said.

“He’s a real interesting guy. I think he’ll bring a lot of energy to that role.”

Carriger, who has DJ experience himself, said previously he and the rest of the entertainment crew rotated in the role of introducing the acts.

Schaab, who recently moved to Noblesville from the southeast side of Indianapolis, has been a disc jockey for nearly 20 years.

“I always enjoy the opportunity to be in front of people and help them have a good time as well. That’s always been a big key for me when I’m on the stage,” Schaab said. “It’s not necessarily that the spotlight is on me, it’s that I can use my talents to help other people enjoy the time they’re having in whatever environment we’re in.”

Schaab also will serve as master of ceremonies for Indy PopCon, set for July 7 to 9 at the Indiana Convention Center.

“I’ve been able to work with companies that have been looking for emcees,” Schaab

said. “I’ve done work with the NBA, the NFL, IndyCar, Mercedes-Benz, just a bunch of different companies who were looking for someone to lead their events.”

Schaab said he has been to CarmelFest in the past.

Schaab and his wife, Emily, are preparing to launch an interactive murder mystery dinner theater in the Indianapolis area. Murder on the Menu will debut at Indy PopCon. “The goal is to take it all around,” he said.

“We might have one site where we have a routine spot at on Friday or Saturday night, but other than that we could easily go to a private event.”

KidsZone back with variety

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

One of most popular parts of CarmelFest is the KidsZone. This year it will include a variety of activities, demonstrations, entertainment and rides for kids to enjoy. The KidsZone will be in the Carmel courthouse south lot.

“We have lots of attractions for the kiddos. We’ve got some water activities, some climb-on activities and some walk-through activities. We have some interactive booths. We even have a petting zoo,” CarmelFest Chairman Gary Sexton said.

This year there will be an expanded KidsZone entertainment stage. The lineup includes dance troupes, magicians, a reptile show, karate demonstrations and short plays.

The entertainment stage is free for guests.

The ever-popular Eurobungy returns this year.

“You can jump super high and do air acrobatics. The kids to do flips and twists and things,” Sexton said.

The Beast allows kids to experience what it’s like inside a monster.

“The Beast is a 100-yard long giant monster that you walk in through it’s mouth.

It’s the sounds and sights and all the things you might see inside a monster.

You walk through that thing and it’s wild,” Sexton said.

New this year will be a rock-climbing wall, remote control monster truck course and speed pitch baseball.

Most activities are free but some rides and attractions will have a fee.

“Tickets are sold for $1 each. The different attractions will collect a different amount based on that ride or attraction,” Sexton said.

The KidsZone is open July 3 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and July 4 from noon to 9 p.m.

Investing in down under Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My home office is downstairs, which was just a cellar when we moved into the house in the ’90s. humor We invested a little money to fix it up, so then it became a basement. I guess you could call it a finished basement. But apparently it wasn’t finished, because the builder we hired said that for a few extra bucks he could add some decorative touches and then we could call it our lower level. We didn’t have “that” kind of money.

Our original plan was to make it a beautiful room where we could entertain guests and sip white wine as we talked about good books and the current movie scene. Fifteen years later, no humans are allowed downstairs except me and the men from Orkin.

We have a pool table that I bought in l998 when I wanted to get my son interested in something other than video games.

He started playing video games of people playing pool.

I use the cue sticks to wrangle cobwebs from the ceiling. I can store our suitcases underneath, and the tabletop is the perfect

nesting area for a year’s supply of Bush’s Baked Beans. My wife said we’d never use the pool table. Geesh, what a pessimist!

Somewhere under boxes of paperback books and musty blankets is a futon. The cat sees the unit as a condo — two beds and a bath, if you know what I mean.

In 2000, I decided to learn to play the piano, so I set up an electronic gizmo called a clavinova downstairs. It can be programmed to mimic 30 different instruments, create background rhythms and magically produce chords. I only had to sit there and make each next payment.

We built a bar in the corner so guests could grab a cold one without climbing the stairs. But we never put in a fridge, as we planned. Behind the bar is our new sump pump. We’ll install it any year now.

I just told Mary Ellen it was time we invited some friends over to play pool.

But first, I have a whole lot of beans to eat.

Feras Mash and Gary Ruegg have decided to combine their computer businesses for a larger one.

Tech Mash’s Computer Troubleshooters of Carmel and Ruegg’s Your PC Paramedic have renamed the corporation Your PC Paramedic. They formalized the partnership this spring.

Computer Troubleshooters of Carmel will keep its store name. It moved to 950 N. Range Line Road from 316 S. Range Line Rd. in March.

“We still do computer service for residential and business,” said Mash, a Carmel resident. “We do on-site services and sales of equipment and Mac repairs.”

They also specialize in managed services, data backup solutions, remote support, security services and cloud support.

Mash said the lease ran out at his former store site, and he said the area was getting too congested with construction.

“People were having trouble finding us,” Mash said.

Ruegg said he and Mash are planning to go into the cellphone repair business.

Ruegg said the company will visit retirement and assisted living homes to provide some free services, providing on-site tuto-

rial type work.

“We’ll be instructing on how to use a computer, how to send and receive emails, and how to send and receive email on (a cellphone),” Ruegg said. “We’ll also be able to do troubleshooting at the time, too.”

Ruegg said he had a lot of elderly people ask him to come to their home for help over the years.

Mash has been in the computer business since 1992, starting Computer Troubleshooters in 2010. Ruegg, who started Your PC Paramedic in 2003, has worked in the computer field since 1981.

“Between his experience and my experience, we have more than 60 years,” Ruegg said.

O’Malia Food Market liquidates inventory, replacement unknown

EXPERT FINANCIAL TOOLS... ON THE GO!

By Sara Baldwin news@currentincarmel.com Many residents of Brookshire and nearby Carmel areas are mourning the loss of a favorite neighborhood store closing grocery store, O’Malia Food Market.

This final remaining O’Malia store, now owned by Marsh Supermarkets, is set to close July 8. It will close sooner if it runs out of inventory. Now in the process of liquidation, many shelves are bare and all remaining items are marked 30 to 50 percent off.

At 126th Street and Gray Road, this particular O’Malia store was the sixth location of the small local grocery chain, founded by Joe O’Malia. The first O’Malia store was at 10450 N. College Ave and opened in 1967. Ten stores were opened within a 30-year span, four of those in Carmel. In 1981, O’Malia Investment Company was formed to build the strip mall at 126th and Gray. “Store No. 6” opened in early 1982.

“After owning the other locations, my father envisioned paying rent to himself,” said Dennis O’Malia, co-owner of O’Malia Investment Group.

In 2001, nine O’Malia locations were sold to Marsh Supermarkets. However, O’Malia Investment Company remained the landlord for the 126th and Gray location. Marsh’s recent filing of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy posed an inquiry — what would happen to this neighborhood grocery store?

On June 13, Marsh announced the sale of 26 of its 44 stores, including eight Indiana locations. After a bidding war, the stores were split between Topvalco, a Cincinnatibased Kroger subsidiary and Ohio-based Fresh Encounter. The remaining unsold locations, including O’Malia, are set to close upon liquidation.

As of press time, a new tenant to replace O’Malia has not been announced.

“We have hired Duke Hardy to manage the center,” Dennis said. “We are actively speaking to different entities.”

Residents remember O’Malia Neighborhood message boards are abuzz about the closing of O’Malia. Residents of nearby neighborhoods are wondering what will take its place, where the current employees will go, and if any replacement business could possibly keep the smalltown feel of a neighborhood grocer.

For Rosemary Pettinger, the opening of

O’Malia Store No. 6 in 1982 was an asset to the area and her family.

“I lived in Eden Estates at that time,” Pettinger said. “When they put that store in, it was a real blessing because it was right around the corner from our subdivision.”

Beloved bagger Kenny Newell finds work at Broccoli Bills The O’Malia store itself is not the only thing that will be missed. Employees like Kenny Newell have been a mainstay in the neighborhood for years.

“Kenny never has a bad day. There’s always a smile on his face, and he always asks about you,” said Debbie Eckstein, a 16-year Brookshire resident and O’Malia customer. Eckstein works next door as lead pharmacy technician at CVS Pharmacy. “ “This September would have marked 28 years (at O’Malia),” Newell said. “It’s hard to believe. It goes by quickly.”

Newell moved with his Newell family from San Antonio, Texas to Carmel in the summer of 1989.

Shortly thereafter, he began working at an O’Malia at 116th Street and Range Line Road and has worked at three other locations since. As the O’Malia stores closed, Kenny remained as a grocery bagger and wound up at the 126th and Gray location.

“I love the people here,” Newell said. “I keep in touch with people I have worked with over the years.”

Newell said he was happy to keep his job when O’Malia was sold to Marsh in 2001 and didn’t notice too many changes. With the store closing, he will stay at O’Malia until its final day and then has potential plans to start at Broccoli Bills specialty grocery in Noblesville.

According to Newell, an accident left him with vision difficulties at age 2. He relies on his parents for transportation, but stays busy with his job at O’Malia.

Stem cells work fast and long Commentary by Dmitry M. Arbuck, MD Stem cells are special cells that repair tissue around them. They do this by donating vital parts, including science mitochondria to diseased cells and, if repair is impossible, turn themselves into new and healthy young tissue. This allows healing of virtually any organ.

Umbilical cord stem cells come from the donated cord blood of healthy newborns and, because of that, do not present ethical concerns. These stem cells also are not known to cause immune rejection or transmit genetic diseases. Umbilical cord stem cells are widely used to treat conditions in orthopedic and sports medicine, immune diseases and a whole host of other diseases and conditions.

Stem cells have special receptors that allow them to identify distress signals from suffering tissues and target the affected area. They even have special intelligence that allows them to differentiate what to repair first. After stem cells are infused into the body, they travel around and concentrate on the organs that are in most need of help. For instance, in

a patient with both muscle and heart damage, they will focus on repairing the heart.

Umbilical cord stem cells start to work within hours after infusion, secreting nutritional and immune-regulating factors, vascular repairing factors and cytokines which travel around the body, healing and supporting health. Even though this process happens very quickly, the most dramatic effects are seen over an extended time because the stem cells are multiplying.

When infused intravenously, stem cells initially concentrate in the lungs, and there they multiply in the presence of oxygen. Later they are redistributed back to the body. Lung disease patients respond especially well to IV infusions of umbilical cord stem cells because they start to build up first in the lungs.

The future is today. Please check StemCellsIndy.com for more information.

Three CHS singers to share Songbook experience

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tara Lacy couldn’t curb her enthusiasm when she learned she was one of the 40 Songbook Academy finalists. music “I was actually at school in my applied music class and I opened an email and just started screaming,” Lacy said. “My teacher, Mr. (John) Burlace, was very excited, and so were my classmates. It was kind of a surreal moment. I wasn’t surprised when I found out that Taylor Bickett and Anja Reese made it just because of how talented and versatile the two of them are.”

Bickett graduated from CHS in May. Former classmates Lacy and Reese will be seniors in August. Although Bickett said she was surprised she was selected, she not surprised about Lacy and Reese.

“They are both insanely talented,” Bickett said.

Bickett said she is most looking forward to the workshops during the intensive instructional program July 15 to 22 at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, the headquarters of the Songbook Foundation. The week concludes with a concert at The Palladium July 22. Ten finalists will vie for the title of Songbook Ambassador.

“I think that it will be helpful to learn from such seasoned and talented instructors as well as a group of young people

who are passionate about singing,” Bickett said. “Since I will be majoring in music in the fall (at Belmont University), this will hopefully help me improve in my abilities even more before college. I can’t wait to meet all of the other students and get to work alongside them.”

Lacy said she is eager to meet students who share the same love for music standards as she does.

“It is not common nowadays that you find a 17-year-old who actually enjoys listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland, so it’s special when you’re forming bonds with people because of music,” Lacy said.

Reese said she loves all types of music.

“But I have always been drawn to the magic of the Great American Songbook,” Reese said. “I am so incredibly grateful to get to be a part of Songbook Academy, where I hope to learn more about the history of the music, to grow as a performer and as a person.”

Although Reese is eager to meet others, she is glad to share this with Bickett and Lacy. All three were in Ambassadors, the school’s mixed show choir this past school year.

“I think it’s pretty unique that the three of us who know each other so well get to experience this together,” Reese said. “I’m grateful that I have both of them to share this experience with me.”

CAC to present ‘The Idle Mind’

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Arts Council will hold the opening reception for its Summer Art Show high school art exhibition, ART “The Idle Mind” from 5 to 9 p.m.

July 8, with a presentation by students at 6:30 p.m.

“The Idle Mind” was produced by 2017 Carmel Arts Council student curators Alex Thomas, a junior, and senior Caroline Armstrong. They are Carmel High School students “The Idle Mind” explores human consciousness through the thought patterns of daydreaming and night dreaming.

The students were selected for the CAC’s “Emerging Curator Program” in January. The program offers students an opportunity to explore a career in the fields of art and museum gallery curations. During the program, Thomas and Armstrong were mentored by CAC member and Indianapolis Museum of Art Curator Harriet Warkel.

Warkel has more than 30 years of experience in art gallery curation.

“I think teaching students how to be art

curators is extremely exciting,” Warkel said.

During the program, students explored exhibits at the IMA and Soho Cafe & Gallery; selected artwork for the exhibition; chose a title and theme; wrote introductory panels and labels; designed a program; and gave guided tours during the show’s opening.

“This was more than just an art project.

It was a professional setting. It’s really just me having my first experience at a job,” Thomas said.

Armstrong plans to pursue a career in art curation. Thomas plans to pursue his interests in chemistry and physics but said the program helped broaden his horizons and changed his view of the world.

Donna Tutwiler, CAC’s Children’s Arts Gallery coordinator, said she believes this is the only opportunity in the nation for high school students to curate their own show.

The CAC Children’s Art Gallery is at 40 W. Main St. The exhibition will be on display from July 7 through Aug. 27. Gallery hours for the exhibition will be 5 to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

ITA students to visit Russian camp

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A group of Carmel-based International Talent Academy students will get a genuine international experience this kids summer.

A group of 10 ITA students, ages 8 to 13, will participate in the ARTEK International Children’s Center in Russia from July 14 to Aug. 3. Nine of the children representing ITA are from Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville, ITA founder and executive director Tatyana Komarova said.

The goal was to design a more functional and timelessly designed kitchen the owners could enjoy for many years to come!

1. The protruding peninsula was removed, shifting the main cooking area to the former microwave/oven location.

2. The kitchen was gutted to allow opportunity for taller cabinets, new countertops and a beautiful navy blue tile backsplash as a pop of color.

3. New wood-look tile flooring was installed as a durable solution for their canines. Another important design step was analyzing the lighting to create the best solution for both ambient and task lighting.

4. In the adjacent rooms, new bench seating in the dining space and new mudroom cabinets were designed, allowing the spaces to naturally flow from one to the next, while adding valuable functionality.

Washington’s National Cathedral Commentary by Don Knebel The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul is a stunning example of Gothic architecture, travel American-style.

Its popular name, the National Cathedral, is a little misleading.

In 1791, when Pierre L’Enfant laid out what became Washington, D.C., he reserved Lot D for “a great church for national purposes.” Because of concerns about church/state separation, nothing came of the idea, and Lot D became the location of the National Portrait Museum. Nonetheless, the dream of a national Western End of the National Cathedral (Photo by Don Knebel) church persisted. In 1893, President Benjamin Harrison signed a Congressional charter for three U.S. Presidents and is the final resting place for authorizing the Protestant Episcopal Church Foundation more than 220 Americans, including Woodrow Wilson and to establish a cathedral, the seat of the Bishop, within the Helen Keller.
