First Mormon temple in state opens in Carmel

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com Mormons from across Indiana have a new spiritual home in Carmel after the recent completion of the church’s newest religion temple. The Indianapolis Indiana Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 510 W 116th St., Carmel, is the first temple constructed in Indiana. It will offer marriage and baptismal ceremonies, along with classes for Mormons in good standing with the church. The temple exterior boasts a 106-foot-tall stone structure topped with a golden statue of angel Moroni, who Mormons believe helped guide the faith’s prophet founder, Joseph Smith. Elder Kent F. Richards, a member of the leadership of the church, said that the completion of ‘Temple 148’ is a “great event in our church.” “A temple is a unique place where special ordinances take place,” Richards said. Ordinances, namely marriage and Baptism of the dead, are rituals in Mormonism. Mormons believe marriages are eternal, and they’re sealed in the temple. Elder Paul Sinclair, a member of the church, said the 34,000 square-foot temple was constructed with links to Indiana. Murals in the interior depict rolling Indiana plains, and the stained glass windows have ornate depictions of tulips.

“You can see the resemblance to the War Memorial downtown,” Sinclair said. “It has an Indiana link. It becomes important to the members and the community.” “It’s historic to be able to have this temple here,” he said. The temple is hosting public tours of the building. Tours run until Aug. 8, when the temple will be closed to the public and reserved for practicThe exterior of the new temple on 116th Street in Carmel. ing Mormons. The temple’s dedication ceremony is Aug. 23. There are more than 40,000 Mormons in Indiana.

Brainard addresses flooding concerns

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Central Indiana has seen one of the wettest summers in recent history. Carmel got almost 2 inches of rain on July 13 and 14 alone, city bringing the total for the month up to 8 inches. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said it’s probably the worst case of flooding he’s seen since Labor Day 2003. That’s when 8 to 10 inches of rain fell in about 30 hours. “During that event, we had rowboats out to help people who were stuck in their homes,” he said. Heavy storms recently caused approximately 35,000 customers of Indianapolis Power & Light to be without electricity in Central Indiana. High water forced Smokey Row Road west of Range

Line to close temporarily. In some parts of town, the rainwater runoff caused sewage backups. Some of these concerns are the responsibility of private landowners, some are the concerns of the county or township and others fall into the realm of the city. Many of these concerns are the reason why

Carmel created a Storm Water District utility in 2014. It’s a way to collect revenue from homes to use to fund storm-water improvement projects. But the major reconstruction projects can take a year and can cost approximately $5 million, which means at the current pace the city can only tackle one major project a year unless the city borrows money. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to consider using a bond to start a couple of these projects at once and catch up,” Brainard said. Brainard said he believes each project to improve handling flooding will be determined by an analysis by the city engineer, not by politics or which neighborhoods pay the most in property taxes.

CFD to honor Good Samaritans By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com On the Fourth of July on a busy Monon Trail that leads to CarmelFest, everyday Good Samaritans stepped up to help a man city who had collapsed. Geoffrey Robinson, of Noblesville, received CPR and other medical assistance from three unknown people who stopped and helped the man survive his medical emergency. But he never got the names of his heroes and he wanted to thank them. The Carmel Fire Department, impressed with the random acts of kindness, used surveillance video and social media to try to identify the three people who helped. They made contact with Alta Skelton and Jurga Tritenko and helped reunite them with the man they saved. The third Good Samaritan has not been identified. CFD official now plan to honor these Good Samaritans before an upcoming meeting of the Carmel City Council, but no date has been set yet because they are waiting for Robinson to recover. “These people didn’t have to stop,” said CFD spokesman Joel Heavner. “It was a busy day on the Monon and many people passed by. But these people did stop and help and they

should be commended for their acts and for their skills in CPR.” Tritenko works as a nurse and she said she was happy to help, but felt it was very stressful since it wasn’t at the hospital where she is used to assisting in medical emergencies. When she got home she said she couldn’t stop thinking of the man on the Monon and she wondered if he was OK. “I was very worried,” she said. “I wanted to know how he was doing and I was very happy to talk to him again.” Tritenko said the real credit goes to the first responders who showed up. She said saving a life often takes teamwork. Robinson wasn’t available for comment because he is still recovering.

Center for Creative Artists opens in Carmel

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Center for Creative Artists, known as Indiana’s original artist-owned gallery has relocated from Zionsville to the Carmel art Arts & Design District. Started back in 1978, it’s a collective of 30 local artists who all live and work in Indiana and each piece is original. There’s no gallery owner taking a big chunk of their commissions, it’s truly an egalitarian community where each artist gets equal space and time. “Everyone gets about the same equivalent area and we change out the art on the walls every two months,” said Lee Ellis, president of CCA. “And we change locations, so if you feel if you got a bad spot last time, you need a new location next time.” The CCA Gallery used to be located in Broad Ripple and then as that area become more bar-centric, it moved to Zionsville. The new move to Carmel was prompted by a need for more space and the interest in the monthly Gallery Walks and other city events to promote local artists. “Every time you see us there will be something new,” Ellis said. “So even if you went to a previous Gallery Walk, we’ll be pretty different every time.”

Inside the new CCA gallery. (Photo by Adam Aasen)

The new address is 111 W. Main St., Suite 135 in one of the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation’s spaces. The 4CDC, as it is called, helps offer art galleries space at a subsidized rent. CCA did a pop-up show at the Gallery Walk on July 11. The CCA Gallery should offer art for walls

and smaller gifts to buy in a variety of mediums. “We’re different in that we have like eleven 3D people,” Ellis said. “Also, our price points might be lower than some other places so we hope to offer something different in the Arts District.”

Hats off to all of the cast and crew members – and yes, the show ended with a much deserved standing ovation!

Taking a few minutes to breathe and allow their opening night standing ovation to sink in. From left, Kathleen Muloma, Carmel; Katie Sinicki, Westfield; along with John Collins and Weston LeCrone, Zionsville.

“Where’s Amy?” loves to promote the arts and had a blast at the Summer Stock Stage production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” performed at the Park Tudor campus. Summer Stock Stage provides theater experiences for teenage students in Central Indiana. Students focus on vocal work, dramatic and dance performance, sharing their creative talents in a professionally managed and positive environment. The Summer Stock Stage draws students, staff and audience members from a variety of backgrounds. Each season there are eight to 10 main stage performances reaching over 3,500 theatergoers. In addition to main stage productions, Summer Stock Stage offers Summer Stock Academy camps and workshops throughout the school year. I spotted amazing talent from our very own Current ZIP codes. I loved watching students perform from Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville and Fishers belting out tunes on their way to win the 25th Annual County Spelling Bee. “Where’s Amy?” enjoyed learning about the Summer Stock Stage through my friends director Chuck Goad and producer Emily Ristine Holloway. If you missed the Putnam Spelling Bee you can still catch Summer Stock Stage’s next show “Mary Poppins” which will present in the Ayres Auditorium at Park Tudor on July 22-25 at 7:30 p.m. and July 25-26 at 2:30 p.m. For more, visit www.summerstockstage.com

I was enjoying the very well attended Hoosier Salon Gallery Exhibit Opening hosted by Marianne Glick. Art collectors, artists, friends and family dropped by the Hoosier Salon Gallery where Marianne Glick, Bruce Moore and Henry Bell were the featured abstract expressionists. It was a marvelous exhibit where guests had the opportunity to chat with the three artists while they enjoyed delicious hor d’oeuvres, spirits and of course the fabulous gallery atmosphere. It was a pleasure for me to finally meet the new executive director, Jim May, and catch up with board members throughout the evening. It’s safe to say that this new exhibit is very powerful and exciting – be sure to stop by and see for yourself!

CAC member and Indiana Museum of Art curator Harriet Warkel, who helped select and train Russell and McAndrews, said both students have exactly the qualities she was looking for in her curators. “I’m looking for someone who’s passionate about art, who has the ability to analyze art,” Warkel said. “I think I’ve been lucky. There’re not always two that would work well together; there’s not always two people you find that are really great. We’ve been lucky. They understand the artwork.” Russell and McAndrews, though, won’t take all the credit. They point to Carmel High School’s talented pool of student artists as the real focal point of the show. “It’s just the enormous amount of talent Carmel High School has to offer,” McAndrews said. “You know, all these artists are still in high school, and we’re putting on an art show in an art gallery with all their works. It’s just that great.” Russell said she can hardly believe the artists are her own age. “I don’t know where they come from, and I don’t know how they all get to Carmel High School, but they do, and I think it’s really nice that we have all this incredible art,” Russell said. “It’s not like student art – it’s like real art.” Russell said she hopes that talent is what audiences take away from the exhibit. “If you look around, you can see any of these high schoolers could pursue a career in art, no problem,” Russell said. “I know a lot of schools are kind of cutting art programs, and I think it’s really important they see high schoolers can do this.”

Carmel High School DECA program grows rapidly By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

From left: Sydney Clark, Maria Awad, Chard Reid, Madison Feigh, who were World Champions at the Community Service Project event. They created and executed a comprehensive service plan for the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana. (Submitted photo)

When Chard Reid took over as Carmel High School’s DECA (DECA was once known as the Distributive Education Clubs of America) advisor, there were 150 students in the program Last year there were 508 participants, making it the sixth largest chapter in the world. Reid said it was only open to the students in the marketing classes when he started. In his first year, it was extended to any business student. Now it’s open for any student who has an interest in business. “I believe it’s a platform to promote the department anyway because kids have such a good experience when they are participating in DECA,” Reid said. “They realize it’s something they want to study.” Carmel won the state competition with 304 points. Secondplace Munster, which had won the state title seven consecutive years, had 104 points. “I would argue our numbers make it harder to have success because each student gets less attention from me and the other advisors,” Reid said. “We’ve pushed hard to make it a student-run organization from the top down. They are casting the vision and training other students. That’s been the biggest change.” Carmel sent 106 students to the international competition in Orlando, Fla., in late April compared to 31 in 2014. Madison Feigh, Maria Awad and Sydney Clark took first place in the international competition. Tyler Burdon, Cameron Martin and Joey Huang finished second as did Sam Johnson, Zak Grove and Mark Matsuki. To read more about CHS DECA, visit currentincarmel.com.

YAP hires Figge

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Youth Assistance Program has taken its first major step in launching the program. Maggie Figge has been named the early intervention advocate and started on July 20, said Tricia Akers, Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program executive director. Figge left her job as Creekside Middle School’s student services coordinator. Figge “She comes to us highly recommended from the Carmel schools to watch this program in Carmel so we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join on our team,” Akers said. The City of Carmel announced on April 20 that the CYAP would focus on at-risk youth referred to the program. The program is designed to assist those referred youth ages 3 to 17 years old and their families. The youth will be evaluated and referred to programs based on their specific needs. According to the release, some examples are mentoring, tutoring, camp and recreational opportunities, counseling and anger management classes. According to the release, the program is focusing on bringing local governmental, juvenile courts and the community, including citizens, school, business, church and service organizations so that there is a comprehensive approach for the children and families. Westfield launched the first Youth Assistance Program in 2009, followed by Noblesville in 2013, Fishers and Hamilton Heights in 2014 and Sheridan in April of 2015. “Our next big step is to form our first board,” said Akers, who said there have been meetings to determine the makeup.

An explanation of sorts

F RO M  THE B AC K SHO P Truth to power Trump to prez? Donald Trump, that free-talking candidate for the Republican nomination for president, leads his GOP rivals in polling as of last week. Amazing. This is the same version of The Donald that recently made disgustingly disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants, that has been jettisoned by a number of TV network and commercial enterprises and that claims a perfect candidacy because he’s a “really rich guy.” Apparently, voters want plain speaking. Give him credit on some level, though, because in some ways he has his spine intact. ••• Lest ye believe we only poke at politicians here, consider this woman a candidate for the annual Darwin Awards, which take time out to “honor” the stupid. The woman, a Tennessee resident, has been busted for using counterfeit money. Why did she do it? Because she read an online account that said President Barack Obama declared it legal to do so. He did no such thing. Even better, she faked her $5 and $100 bills by printing them in black and white, and then gluing the fronts and backs together. She was arrested and charged with criminal simulation (simulating a criminal?) and counterfeiting. ’Merica! ••• We took a media tour of the Indianapolis Mormon Temple in Carmel last week, and, not knowing what to expect, we were blown away by its stunningly tasteful beauty. And we continue to be impressed by the unbridled grace with which we have been greeted and treated, in person and by phone, by those affiliated with the temple.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Dogs are people, too

Commentary by Terry Anker

While it would be fair to say that we like pets in general, we have a preference for the canine variety of domesticated beasts. Millions of Americans invite dogs, cats, gerbils, fish and countless others of God’s creatures into their homes (often sleeping in the same room if not the same bed). At a recent conference on merger and acquisition activity held here in Central Indiana, several of the panelists representing investor groups and investment banks pointed to the growing spending in the pet area. More than increasing quality in food provided for our cohabitants, it seems that we are attentive to the overall quality of life they experience. Clothing, furniture, spas, resorts and countless other products and ideas prove that in spite of what has been a difficult economy, we LOVE our furry friends. Most of us don’t completely buy into the aphorism that “dogs are people, too.” But, it is understandable that we personify them.

Empathy, attention, joy and concern are all on the docket for the routine interaction with a pet. And, they display an amazing array of what can only be called personalities. Some are engaging, extroverted beings that seem happiest when interacting with their human counterparts. Others are shy, introverted animals that appear to prefer a quiet spot in the sun to the chaos of daily family life. Whether demeanor is determined by breeding, socialization or a combination of both has long been debated, and not satisfactorily answered, but can they help us to understand our own interactions with other animals of the human variety? Do we bark at anyone that enters the space we believe to be our own yard? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel.com.

Q U OTE O F  THE WEE K “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain

I received several “hate emails” over a recent column, the one where I was trying to figure out if my 11-year-old had become a brat because of her age or humor because of competitive dance. So because I have at least another year of fishnet hose, glitter lipstick and obnoxious awards ceremonies, I thought it wise to clarify my position before a fellow dance mom shanks me backstage with a mascara wand. [Is the verb shank or shiv? I haven’t started season three of “Orange is the New Black” and my prison lingo is rusty!] For starters, not all “dance people” perpetuate or even tolerate the crazy. My daughter has made wonderful friends and developed the strength, grace and self-confidence of a much older girl in her two short years of training. I would (and have) left her in the care of almost every dance mom on her team and trust their babysitting skills more than my husband’s. Her instructors not only expect, but demand respect, accountability and hard work, and understand that these are the qualities that make a good dancer, not the number of trophies she takes home. If I didn’t love her studio and the quality environment they maintain, she would not be dancing. Period. However, anyone who claims that the world of dance doesn’t have its fair share of drama is either not involved or lying. I have seen mothers yell at their preschoolers while they fought to apply fake eyelashes. I have heard girls belittle their own teammates for falling out of turn. And I have had parents make snide remarks to me for belonging to what they considered a lower-class studio. Costumes cost up to $200 each and solos run $100 per competition. $10,000 a year is definitely not unheard of. Like in all competitive sports, dance attracts a fair number of nut jobs. And most pre-teens are, at one time or another, insufferable brats. My point is, when you marry the two together, you potentially have a recipe for crazy. That’s all I’m saying, so please don’t shank/shiv me next season! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel. com.

A trip to nap town Commentary by Dick Wolfsie New findings confirm the benefits of a siesta. Recently, I lost interest in this daily respite, so I headed to the doctor. I told humor him I was often awake 10 or 12 hours in a row. “So, Dick, you don’t fall asleep at night?” “No, Doc, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.” In this research there is so much to think about that it’s keeping me up all day. The study claims “the kind of nap you take depends on the time you have at your disposal.” Recently, I fell asleep next to the sink while running the disposal. My wife decided it was a toss-up which of us she would rather sleep next to. There are three types of naps: • The Habitual Nap: Take whether you are tired or not. It’s 2 p.m., Time to lie down. If I knew in preschool that I was training to be a senior citizen, I might have been more cooperative. • The Planned Nap: You’re not tired, but you are going to a play later and you don’t want to snore and drool through the entire second act.

• The Emergency Nap: You are driving to Chicago. You’ve had three tall cups of coffee and jammed a ball-point pen into your thigh, but you are still nodding off. Scientists say emergency naps are taken out of “bleary-eyed, foggy-headed necessity.” Personally, I believe in a little more pre-planning. That’s why I am already preparing to take a nap … tomorrow. The quickest nap is the six-minute Ultra Short, which supposedly improves your shortterm memory. Why, then, when you awaken, is the first thing you say: “Where am I?” My brother is a big fan of this nap, but his clients keep waking him, screaming from the back seat of his taxi. It’s 2 p.m. and Mary Ellen is upstairs. She denies that she ever naps. But I must say, right now she is doing a pretty good impersonation of how I sound when I snore.

Your defense is ‘ridiculous’

Editor, Your defense of your anti-Mormon supplement is de jure sound and de facto ridiculous. While that obnoxious Christian sect has a right to advertise its nutty bias, I assume you also have the right to refuse the advertising. That you didn’t shows both a lack of feeling and a lack of judgment on your part. Stop trying to use the First Amendment as a shield for your blunder. It doesn’t matter whether you condone this anti-Mormon claptrap or not: you distributed it. That makes you no better than the German newspapers that printed Nazi antiSemitic diatribes or the southern newspapers

that printed racist Klan propaganda. Don’t kid yourselves — you are complicit here. Would you have included an insert that was blatantly antiSemitic or anti-black or anti-gay? If so, then you have even less reason to be proud of yourselves. You are not a public institution; you are a privately run business. And you are extremely lucky that this did not create an even bigger firestorm than the one you started. BTW, I am not a Mormon, nor am I antiChristian. But I am anti-hate, and that is what you were disseminating in your paper. There is no place for that in our community. Jim Kraft, Carmel

No guide, full of ‘half-truths’ Editor, I don’t know another way to put this so shame on you and the Current magazine for printing the “non-Mormon Temple Visitors Guide”. First is that the title leads you to read the article if you are planning to take advantage of the Church’s offer to view the Temple before dedication. It is NOT a guide but a slanderous, deceitful, miss-directing pile of miss-quotes and half-truths. The article would have people believe that Mormons are a bunch of devil worshipers or idiots that will lead it’s members and anyone else astray from true Christianity. While I do

not attend a Mormon church (I attend North View Church) I was raised in a strong LDS based environment. I know the Mormons to be a God fearing, hard working group of people on the whole and consider this article to be an example of liberal media bias. I’m sure your next issue will attack Catholics or Methodist in some manner. Oh I know why don’t you print “How ISIS loves America” for your next issue. I’m sorry to vent on you personally I’m sure the Current’s received some much needed revenue by printing this tripe. Norwin Hall, Carmel

Students bring ‘Mary Poppins’ to the Summer Stock stage

By Maddie Yerant • news@currentincarmel.com

This summer, audiences and high school performers alike will get to take a jolly holiday with Mary Poppins and her chimney sweep friend Bert. performance Summer Stock Stage will present “Mary Poppins” at Park Tudor School from July 22-26. The event will be featuring performers from the ages of 13 to 18 from a bevy of local schools, including Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville and Westfield. According to Emily Ristine Holloway, director and Summer Stock founder, she chose the show for its ability to include as many students as possible. “We try to do shows that are a little bit more ambitious than what people typically do in their high schools, and also shows that provide lots of opportunities for multiple leads and large ensembles so that we can include as many students from the community as possible,” Ristine Holloway said. Ambitious is a good word for “Mary Poppins,” a crucial feature of which is having the actors who play magical nanny Mary and lovable chimney sweep Bert fly or walk upside-down,

respectively, across the stage. “Mary Poppins flies, and then Bert also does a proscenium walk where he walks up the side wall, walks upside-down across the top and walks (back) down in ‘Step in Time,’” Ristine Holloway said. “Similar to Peter Pan, Mary Poppins has to have that magical quality, or the story can’t really be told.” According to Elizabeth Hutson, who plays Mary, and Matt Conwell, who plays Bert, flying on stage is just as intimidating as it sounds. For “Step in Time,” Conwell is attached to a metal square of approximately one foot, which is then hooked up to a conveyer belt to move him as he tap dances upside-down across the proscenium. “I cried when she told me I would do it, because I didn’t think it was going to happen,” said Conwell. “It’s scary, but I’m too excited to be that scared.” Hutson said another intimidation factor is finding a way to put her own spin on a beloved character originally played by the likes of legendary actress Julie Andrews. However, Hutson’s history with Summer Stock – she played Anna in last year’s “The King and I” – helped ease her into this new role.

“I felt a lot of pressure last year with Anna, and so this year, it’s kind of relaxed a little more for me,” Hutson said. “I just need that (relaxation), because if you start thinking about it too much, you jazz yourself out.” Conwell said he felt more excitement than pressure at the idea of taking on the character of Bert. “It’s so much fun to play these iconic roles and to put you own spin on it,” Conwell said. “That’s what every actor dreams of, I feel like: to be able to put your mark on something so beloved.” Conwell, Hutson and Ristine Holloway said they’re all excited for audiences to see their hard work come to fruition – especially in tricky dance numbers, including “Step in Time,” “Jolly Holiday” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” “I’m excited for people to see how we spell ‘Supercal’ with our bodies,” Hutson said. “It goes faster and faster and faster. You’re spelling it with your body the whole time. It’s ridiculous.” Overall, Hutson said she can’t wait to take the stage. “It’s really good,” Hutson said. “I’m so excited.” For more information, including how to purchase a ticket, visit www.summerstockstage.com.

Teens take over in ‘Oklahoma’ By Heather Lusk news@currentincarmel.com

Every summer the participants of Civic Theatre’s Young Adult Program have the chance to learn performance about every aspect of the Theatre and then bring those lessons to life by putting on a musical production. “The entire show is run by truly talented high school students under the supervision of professionals,” according to Kelly Smith, Young Adult Program coordinator. They can learn about costumes, set design, and even the orchestra, as high schoolers play in the pit next to professionals from the Indiana Wind Symphony. YAP, open to students aged 14 - 18, consists of a seven-week summer program and year-round workshops to learn about various aspects of Theatre. The summer program allows the students the additional opportunity to put on a performance such as this year’s production of “Oklahoma.”

“It feels more like a professional show, like the feeling of a Beef and Boards or an actual Civic (Theatre) show,” said upcoming high school senior Nick Gehring, Zionsville, a first time participant in YAP who plays Curly. “It feels really exhilarating to be a part of this process.” Gehring has been a part of many performances through school and summer stock but the West Clay resident has been impressed with the opportunities that YAP allows the young actors and crew. “We get the exact same experience that some of these professionals would get,” he said. “It’s so cleanly run, they’ve thought out every aspect of it.” Summer workshop topics vary from combat training to playing different ages on the stage to life in New York City and are open to any eligible students, with roughly 60 percent each summer also participating in the musical. For tickets to Oklahoma, contact the Civic Theatre box office at 843-3800. The show runs from July 23-26.

“Our mission includes recognizing opportunities to support the performing arts in our community.” - Dr. Tammy Wittmann

It’s October 1945, and the gospel-singing Sanders family is back in “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” at performance Beef & Boards. “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” is set for 46 performances from July 9 through August 16, telling the comedic story of a post-war North Carolinian family’s experiences at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe (played by John Vessels) is called away to preach in Texas, dragging along his eight month pregnant wife June, leaving his church to his son Dennis. Twenty-five bluegrass gospel songs accompany the Sanders’ departure in a series of “anything that can go wrong, will” escapades. Homecoming may come across as a little different than most plays or musicals, being the third installment in the “Smoke on the Mountain” musical series, written by Connie Ray and music by Mike Craver. Audiences won’t have to worry about catching up thanks to the familiarity of actors and their ability to multitask, director Jeff Stockberger said. “We’re lucky in the sense that four of the seven actors have done all three shows before, sometimes multiple times,” Stockberger said. “They’re able to play all their own instruments. It makes them a sort of triple threat. The more they sound like a real band, the more you believe every word that comes out of their mouth”

Characters Mervin, played by John Vessels, and June, played by Sarah Hund, in “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” which is now playing at Beef & Boards dinner theater. (Submitted photo)

In this sequel, the audience plays the role of the congregation, and are encouraged to join in the celebration. “It’s interesting to see how we have all aged,” Vessel said. “The first show we did was in 2007, so I was significantly younger. Each show can really stand on its own.” Tickets range from $40 to $65 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and beverages. For reservations, call Beef & Boards at 872-9664.

Not only is the warm, sunny weather a great time for cookouts, going to the zoo and baseball games, but it’s also a exercise great time to get outside and exercise with your little ones. No gyms needed with this weather! Park The park is by far the best place to get fit! You can use the benches, swings, slides and monkey bars as your exercise equipment by doing push-ups, pull-ups or planks. In addition, while you are getting exercise, your little one is having a blast playing. Walking trails In Hamilton County, we have so many great walking tails. For example, take a family walk or bike ride down the Monon Trail. It will be a great way to get outside, get fresh air and bond with your baby. If you want to add a little more cardio to your walk, I recommend doing high-knees while running with your stroller or walking stroller lunges. Backyard The most convenient of all option especially with a little one is to make use of your back yard. If your child is old enough to walk, get a

Lessons from a Copenhagen Statue

Carmel Arts Council presents:

BIG BAD WORLD

Commentary by Don Knebel “The Little Mermaid” is Copenhagen’s most famous statue. A short walk away, an older and larger statue carries an imtravel portant message. In 1748, King Frederick V of Denmark/Norway ordered redevelopment of a waterfront area near the entrance to Copenhagen’s harbor to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Christian I’s founding of the Oldenburg dynasty. Four mansions, symmetrically arranged around an octagonal court, were to be owned and occupied by important noblemen. One of the mansions was for Count Adam Gottlob Moltke, a close confidant of the king, who supervised the project named “Frederiksstaden.” The mansions, were completed by 1760. In 1752, Count Moltke persuaded the Danish Asiatic Company, of which he was director, to commission a statue of Frederick V on horseback to occupy the center of Frederiksstaden’s courtyard. Moltke engaged French artist Jacques Saly, who brought his family to Copenhagen and began work in 1754. In 1758, after studying the king’s horses, Saly presented the king a small model of the proposed statue, which the king approved. Saly

then created a life-size bust of the persnickety king to assure that his likeness was also acceptable. By 1764, Saly had completed the plaster cast for the full-size statue, which he rendered in bronze in 1768. After three years of additional work, workers placed the 22-ton statue on its pedestal in 1771. Unfortunately, King Frederick never saw the statue, depicting him as a Roman emperor. Notorious for his bacchanalian orgies, he had died at age 42, five years before its completion. His statue, 17 years aborning, had cost more than the four

palatial buildings surrounding it combined. In 1794, the royal family acquired the Frederiksstaden mansions for its winter residence. Frederick V is still on his horse, reminding his descendants of the importance of budgets and deadlines. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Priority 2: “Remove the dated bulkheads.”

Priority 4: “Create a clutter-free look with functional storage.”

Priority 3: “The dark cabinets made my small kitchen feel smaller. I wanted my new kitchen to be light & bright”

Old Charm: Oil-Rubbed bronze hardware, pendant lighting, marble countertops and backsplash tile help contribute to the dream vision.
