IU student from Carmel helps others in Cambodia

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Carolyn Haney, a Carmel native studying psychology at Indiana University-Bloomington, decided to not spend her summer lounging by a profile pool reading paperback novels.

Instead, she’s spent her time in Cambodia, working alongside locals working tirelessly in scorching heat performing difficult manual labor. She spends time with victims of landmines who are missing arms and legs, working in the market, some playing music and some selling artwork at a stand.

“Overall attitude is one of resilience and kindness, especially considering the horrors that occurred less than 50 years ago with the Khmer Rouge,” she said.

Haney, a senior who plans to apply for law school in the fall, spent 25 days this summer with two other interns from IU in Siem Reap, Cambodia as a part of GlobeMed at IU, a club that Haney has been involved with since her freshman year.

GlobeMed has teamed with a group called Trailblazer Angkor to help construct sustainable, inexpensive, and efficient bio-sand water filters and distributing them to the surrounding villages that do not have access to clean water.

“This is especially important in Siem Reap where as many as one in seven children will die of a waterborne illness,” Haney said.

Haney and her group are also currently working on an “agriculture project in hopes to make the area more food independent and to rely less on imports for their food.”

They also helped construct water filters by having concrete poured into a mold and then painted, using sand, small gravel and large gravel as the filter.

“Good bacteria builds up and kills the bad bacteria so the water is safe to drink – the mechanism is simple but very effective and the water is safe to drink,” Haney said.

They have also helped grow foods such as edamame, okra, and different leafy greens. They have gone into villages to distribute water filters and teach the locals how to use them.

Haney’s future goal is to become an attorney in the area of human rights. Her preferred choice would be to go to either IU-Bloomington or IUPUI for law school.

She said her experience in Cambodia has helped

change her life perspective.

“Personally, I am understanding of how privileged I am and how thankful I need to be,” she said. “To not complain about a class I have to take or a meal I don't find enjoyable, and not to envy those who have more money or status. I am rich because I have breakfast every morning and a place to sleep each night.”

Lessons she learned in Cambodia “Solutions are often simple and require the necessary resources and the dedication of good, hardworking people more than they need fancy technology or ingenious ideas.”

“Listening is more important than speaking when working with different people groups. Often times they know better what will work for their community than an outsider does, and the absence of capitol and resources is more common than the absence of intelligence.”

“Humans are resilient and despite unthinkable tragedy; hard work, kindness and the power of community can change the world.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce As a parent, you are your child's first and most important teacher.

You know your child best, and your input should be considered by the school at every opportunity. Parents frequently do not know what their children's rights are in terms of the education and services offered by the schools, and they often can feel intimidated by school staffs. Your child has the right to a free appropriate public education under federal law.

If you suspect that your child may have a disability, let your child’s school know. Parents have the right to be involved with every decision regarding their child’s education, including whether your child may need special education services. If your child is struggling behaviorally or academically, his school may be required to do an evaluation to see if he qualifies for special services. Trust your instincts: you know your child best. The worst thing to do is nothing.

If you wait to seek help for your child, his frustration and sense of failure could continue to break down his self-esteem, while the window of time for meaningful intervention narrows.

Each child qualifying for services are required by federal law to receive an Individualized Education Program, or IEP. IEPs are put together by a team of school staff and schools are required by law to include parents in this process. However, parents often feel as though they have little input to their child’s IEP because they are unaware of what their child’s rights are. This can have a serious impact and their child's progress can be impaired by a lack of knowledge. "What we have is what you get" is not what the federal and state laws provide. Schools receiving federal funding are required, by law, to devise an IEP for each child qualified for services based on that child's individual needs (not on the school's staffing or budget problems) that is reasonably calculated to confer a

meaningful educational benefit.

Anything less than that does not comply with the federal law, and is actionable through a due process proceeding.

Examples of how schools commit violations: • Failure to find a child eligible for services despite evidence that the child was struggling academically or behaviorally.

• Failure to develop an appropriate IEP based on the child's individual needs.

• Failure to implement the IEP as written.

• Failure to involve parents to meaningfully participate in the IEP development process.

• Failure to prevent punishment of the child for actions or inactions that are manifestations of the child's disability (caused by the child's disability).

• Failure to train staff and aides in the child's areas of disability.

• Predetermining placement and services before the case conference committee meeting.

• Failure to conduct necessary evaluations of the child.

• Failure to provide education and services in the least restrictive environment.

• Failure to offer extended school year services to the child.

• Failure to allow a child with special needs to participate in extracurricular activities to the same extent as his non-disabled peers.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Leadership summit Aug. 6-7

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com

On Aug. 6-7, Grace Church, in Noblesville, will serve as a premier host site for the Global Leadership Summit. The GLS religion is organized by the Willow Creek Association and will be streamed live from South Barrington, Ill. to hundreds of churches globally this year.

“Out of the 375 plus host sites, we’re the largest right now,” said Aaron Elliott, Grace Church senior director of partner development. The church typically boasts attendance in the top three each year. “[The faculty] is somewhat global and it’s world class. The folks they get are relevant, they’re qualified, they’re credentialed, and they’re outstanding,” said Elliott. Among the speakers this year are Jim Collins, business author of bestselling “Good to Great;” Horst Schulze, founding president and former COO of The Ritz Carlton Group; and Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and president of Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Many Carmel and Hamilton Co. residents are expected to attend.

A leadership team from Scotty’s Brewhouse has registered this year. Additionally, Northview, White River Christian, Northside New Era and St. Luke’s United Methodist are partner churches that have committed to bringing groups.

Elliott explained the leadership challenges facing not-for-profit organizations, and ways in which the business community can learn from such leaders.

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINAR

Youth leaders set to retire

By Alec Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com

A couple will soon step away from roles they love.

Mark and Laurel Smith, youth directors at St. Mark’s Methodist achievement Church in Carmel, will be stepping down at the end of the month after 25 years.

The couple has served youth since they participated in Ball State University’s Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) chapter. While there, they were hired to be youth directors at Christ United Methodist Church in Selma, Indiana in 1987, working there until they became youth directors at St. Mark’s in July 1990. Today, Mark works as an assistant principal at Clay Middle School and Laurel works as an instructional assistant at Forestville Elementary.

“It’s with a lot of mixed emotions for me as I begin to step away. It’s one of the hardest decisions that I’ve made, but I just feel like it is time for me to have a season of rest and listening again, and then I’m excited to see where God calls me next to further minister and to further introduce families to the love that he has for them,” said Mark Smith.

look forward to the future, but it’s also going to be tough. We’re going to miss those kids,” Laurel said.

A former student of the Smiths, Amy Risinger, now a teacher at Noblesville East Middle School, started in the program as a 7th grader, where she met her husband, Seth, also a teacher, but at Park Tudor. She reflected fondly on her time in the program.

“He’s always got a smile on his face, very welcoming and glad with you. I think he made it a point to make everyone feel welcomed and feel part of the group,” said Risinger.

The colored-pencil drawing that Brandt Cotherman created based on Carlos Santana’s experience with LSD before Woodstock. (Submitted photo)

Carmel artist in ‘Santana’ book

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Being in an advanced-placement studio art class in high school, it was no surprise that Carmel High School senior Brandt art Cotherman would have to create a drawing using colored pencils.

The surprise came years later, when his work appeared in a Carlos Santana autobiography.

Cotherman’s inspiration came from watching a documentary on Woodstock, where Santana explained his experience with LSD for the first time. In the documentary, he said when he held his electric guitar, it seemed like an electric snake.

“I thought that would be cool to draw visually,” Cotherman said.

Cotherman graduated and attended Purdue University. His mother encouraged him to put the drawing on Santana’s fan website, which he did.

“A year or two or so later, his people contacted me saying they were making an

autobiography and asked if I was interested in putting the drawing in the book,” Cotherman said. “The book came out this year and I got a signed copy of the book by Carlos.”

Although Cotherman graduated Purdue and is currently a sales engineer, art still plays a big part of his life.

He even attended Indy PopCon and had his own booth, where he made comic collages.

He also makes furniture and said his favorite medium is pen and ink.

“Art is a big hobby of mine that I do on the side and I’m turning it into a side business,” Cotherman said.

Although he is not in any galleries currently, he has a website at brandtcotherman.com.

He normally creates art or furniture for himself or to sell to his friends, but he said custom orders can be placed via email at brandtcotherman@gmail.com.

His furniture pieces range anywhere from $200-$1,000 and his art pieces range from $100-$300.

City Council recap

Compiled by Adam Aasen

What happened: The Carmel City Council voted unanimously to remove plans for an asphalt pedestrian trail by request from the Cherry Tree Grove Home Owners Association.

What it means: The commitment was mistakenly left off the secondary plat and was never constructed. Now it turns out the residents don’t want the path because it would come too close to their properties and doesn’t really connect to anything or go anywhere. City councilor Ron Carter said he understands that this path doesn’t make sense but that he would like to have seen residents work with the city to find a pedestrian path that works because he said walkability and alternative transportation is important for the city.

What’s next: A public hearing was held. No one spoke. The rules were suspended and there was an immediate vote to pass the changes. There is no commitment to build the path.

DispatcH Reserve sheriff applications – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is accepting applications for the position of Reserve Sheriff Deputy. The Reserve Division is a group of unpaid volunteers empowered to assist full-time Sheriff’s Office staff with upholding the law and preserving peace. For more information and an application, contact Deputy Jeff Larkin at Thomas.Larkin@hamiltoncounty.in.gov or 773-1872.

Although complete revenue figures have not been released, city leaders say they’ve been satisfied with the ridership update numbers so far for the city’s new bike-share program.

In April, Carmel joined with private company Zagster to provide bikes that can be rented by the hour using a smartphone app. After 90 days, David Littlejohn, alternative transportation coordinator for the city, said that almost 1,100 rides have been taken using the service by 610 members.

“We’re pretty excited about the numbers,” he said. “We broke 1,000 riders around the three month mark.”

Littlejohn said those numbers are especially good considering that Carmel has experienced its wettest summer in recent memory with clouds and rainfall deterring some riders. In addition, it’s a new service that will take time to catch on and much of the city’s marketing efforts have been through partnering with existing resources such as tourism officials instead of spending money on advertising.

He said it’s growing every week and the biggest day ever was on a Saturday – July 11.

Q&A with former teen idol Leif Garrett

By Navar Watson news@currentincarmel.com In 1977, a young teenager with long, golden hair and tight leather pants diversion burst onto the music scene, stealing girls’ hearts all over the world. His name was Leif Garrett, pronounced “Lafe,” not “Leaf.”

Last week, Current had a chance to catch up with the former teen idol at Kingston’s Music Showcase in Carmel, where he rehearsed before his July 25 charity show at The Vogue.

(This has been edited for brevity. For an extended version, visit currentincarmel.com.)

What’s the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a fan that you can say on-the-record?

I was playing in the Houston Astrodome, and we just finished the show and were coming back to the hotel, and my manager happened to notice that under the door … the light was being reflected in an odd way—like someone was in the room pacing or something. It turned out that a couple of girls had bribed the maids to let them in the room and they were waiting there for me when I got there. … It was very weird. Who knows if they were going through my stuff or whatever.

As a teenager in the business, I feel like you’d have a lot of pressure from people telling you what to do.

Oh, I got ripped off badly. … That’s what I don’t understand. My career ended musically, as far as [the producers] were concerned, when the fiveyear contract was over and I was, like, 21 or 22, whereas I was trying to let them in on my vision [to grow].

In the teen idol world, the longest a teen idol can last—unless they change and become an adult with their music— is five years. … You go from 16 to maybe 21, and then by 21 you’re already having sex … and that changes your whole world. Your music changes, the things you like change. One thing is puppy love; the next thing is lust. In the teen idol world, it’s puppy love.

New wave [music] was happening.

Disco wasn’t going to last, first of all, Leif Garrett rehearses inside Kingston’s Music Showand that sort of like puppy-love style case. (Photo by Feel Good Now) wasn’t going to last either. Like I said, you grow up and start having sex. Your tastes What are you working on now? change. You become more mature. … They just I’ve been writing a lot, but I’m also writing a didn’t see it, and my contract was up and I book right now, and I’ve also been doing a lot said, “See you later.” of music placement for film and television.

The new Islamic Life Center and Mosque in Carmel has taken major steps toward being build this year religion The center is set to be built on land on the Carmel side of 146th Street between Ditch and Towne Roads.

Al Salam Foundation vice president Ashhar Madni said the land was purchased in February and the master plans are being worked on now.

“We don’t have any fixed timetable,” Madni said. “It will take roughly 18 months to two years before we actually have a place.”

Madni isn’t sure what the eventual size of the facility will be.

“But it’s bigger than what we have right now,” said Madni, referring to the rental space on the northwest side of Indianapolis. “It will be a place for youth to interact and there will be sports activity for them.”

Mohammad Islam, an Al Salam Foundation official, said the center will be a place for education and service.

“It will be like a second home for our community members,” Islam said. “It will be a place where community social functions can take place. It will be a place where the (younger) generation can learn about their civic duty and responsibility. It will be a place

to promote charity for the needy, poor and orphans in our society for both Muslims and non-Muslims equal. There will be service for interfaith discussions and activities for nonMuslims, neighbors, friends and community members.”

Nadir Zaidi, who grew up in Carmel and is headed to attend Cornell University’s medical school, is pleased the center will be in his hometown. Zaidi said events like the Carmel Mayor’s Iftar Ramadan event on July 10 show the support from the area interfaith community.

“Then the explicit fact that we had backing from the city to build our community center and our mosque, it’s a great step forward for us as a great city,” Zaidi said.

‘A Splash of Carmel’ mural created by CACHD The Carmel Arts Council High School Division has created a mural titled “A Splash of Carmel” on a building in the Monon Square Center. This is an effort of SoHo Café, Porter Paints, Horton, Inc. and The Carmel Arts Council. High School students, Dana Wang and Katie Voor designed and carried out the vision with other students. CACHD President, Sydney Hardwick organized all the painting sessions and gathered the teams of volunteer painters. It has been fun watching pedistrians come off the Monon Trail to help paint! The mural – “A Splash of Carmel” is a 24-color mural and 3-D art will be added then they add old bicycle parts. The mural depicts highlights of the City of Carmel including the Palladium, the public library, the Koi pond, Clay Terrace and much more. These images are all interspersed with coffee flowing throughout the city. (Submitted photo)

Kroger boasts barista champ

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com John Davis has proved to be a quick study.

Davis, a 44-year-old Kroger employee and Fishers resident, had worked as a barista at the Starbucks in the Kroger achievement store, 1217 S. Range Line Rd. in Carmel, for just more than one year. Davis was nominated by the Starbucks district manager to be a representative in the District United States Barista Championship for licensed Starbucks stores. He won the competition for Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia in May at Marian University in Indianapolis. Davis competed in the regional competition at York, Pa., on July 16, but failed to advance to the national competition.

“Due to not wanting feelings to get hurt, they didn’t actually place us,” Davis said. “All they told us was the winner. It was very fun and exciting.”

Davis is happy to be champion of three states. That contest began with a barista craft where he had to make whatever the judges told him correctly.

“I need to engage the judge on the other side and talk about what a good espresso shot is and what a good quality drink should look like,” he said.

Davis said Kroger and Starbucks focus on creating relationships with the customers.

Davis worked at a tax consulting firm and then was a stay-at-home dad for a few years.

“Then this opened up with my youngest went to first grade and I thought this looked like fun,” Davis said.

Karen Hansen, his Kroger store manager, said it’s evident he enjoys his work.

“We’re so proud of John. It’s no surprise to me that he won the championship,” Hansen said. “He’s totally engaged in the product he sells. He loves the customers. We feel fortunate to have him on our team.”

Police, fire plan ‘National Night’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com To celebrate and discuss Carmel’s safety, the Carmel Police and Fire Departments will host the 2015 National Night Out on Aug. 4.

From 6 to 8 p.m. community safety members can visit the Carmel Gazebo for food, giveaways, kids activities and the opportunity to ask Police and Fire Department personnel any questions they might have.

Officer Donald Schoeff said that this event is just as much a celebration as it is an educational experience.

“National Night Out is an opportunity for us to bring the community together in excitement for our community being so supportive of public safety,” Schoeff said. “We encourage people throughout the community to come together with us and discuss the crime prevention efforts they have within their own neighborhoods. We recognize that although we have a great Police Department, our services are extended when we have community members who are in support of keeping their neighborhoods safe.”

As noted by its name, National Night Out is an event that Police and Fire Departments

host across the country. In Carmel’s previous years, the night was celebrated in several different neighborhoods as opposed to one meeting place.

This year will be the third year that the event uses the Carmel Gazebo as a central meeting location. Attendees are asked to bring their own tables and chairs as well as food for a pitch-in dinner.

Schoeff said that although Carmel already has strong security departments, National Night Out can only improve the town’s awareness of its safety measures.

Festival to benefit the PourHouse

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com “The philanthropic arm of Chick-fil-A is just a great example for us to go deep in our communities and try to philanthropy have an impact,” said Jeff Mosley, Carmel resident and owner of two Indianapolis-based Chick-fil-A franchises. Mosley is following that example, and his team has planned an event that he expects to be a big fundraiser for the PourHouse of Indianapolis.

On July 30 from 3-9 p.m., Chick-fil-A will host a music festival and family carnival at Church at the Crossing to benefit the PourHouse. The event is free to the public, although patrons may make a small contribution to the cause at the door. Three local Indiana music groups and one Michigan artist will perform live at the event.

The event will also feature a silent auction including items donated by the Colts, Indians and the Indianapolis Zoo. Former Colts player Marlin Jackson will be on site to meet and greet attendees. The first 500 people through the door will receive a free Chick-fil-A meal during the evening festivities.

The PourHouse is a street outreach and advocacy for those experiencing homelessness.

“We provide basic necessities for folks to get

through to the next day,” said PourHouse founder Andrea De Mink, adding that the organization also assists people with longer-term plans.

De Mink and Mosley met when they both attended the same church. A long-time supporter of the PourHouse, Mosley said he really believes in the cause.

The event will go on rain or shine, as the venue affords the ability to move the activities inside in case of inclement weather. Church at the Crossing is located at 9111 Haverstick Rd. in Indianapolis.

Encouraging and inspiring through animals

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com The parks department in a community is often something that people profile use to entertain and education young children or to take a stroll through nature. In Hamilton County, the Parks and Recreation Dept. has programs in the works that a community may never imagine seeing.

One such program is administered by Amanda Smith, superintendent of natural resources and education. In response to the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in late 2012, Smith found herself asking what she could do to make an impact and help prevent a similar occurrence in her community. She had been visiting the juvenile services center once per year to speak about her occupation, and she decided to step up her efforts.

Smith wanted to do something to inspire a sense of empathy in kids who may be at risk.

She had learned ways that animals had been used to foster empathy among adult inmates, and wondered if she could do the same for minors by using the animals she cared for in her programs. She now visits the center at least once per month, bringing with her tur-

tles, salamanders, snakes and other reptiles or amphibians.

“Part of her goal is to encourage [the kids] and she uses the animals as a bridge to make the connection with them.” said Cindy Baney, a K-5 music teacher with Carmel Clay Schools.

Smith allows the kids to interact with the animals as much as they want, and she speaks to them about her personal journey in life.

YOU NEED

“I barely made it into college. To be successful in a career right now, it’s not something that I think most of my teachers would have expected,” Smith said. “Your past doesn’t have to completely shape who you are in the future. You might find something you never knew interested you like I did. I just try to give them some passion and hope to find what it is they love and tackle that if they can.”

CCP thrills with ‘39’

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

Take an old fashioned whodunit, mix in a dash of Monty Python, romance and more than 150 characters played by theater just four actors and you’ll have the award winning “39-Steps” - the latest production by the Carmel Community Players.

In the show, a man with a boring life meets a woman who claims to be a spy. After he takes her home, she’s murdered. It’s not long after that a mysterious organization called The 39 Steps is “hot on his trail” in a manhunt across that country.

“I hope they laugh from beginning to end,” said director Lori Raffel. “Whether they are

fans of Alfred Hitchcock or not, this is a funny show. I have never directed a show like this before and I wanted the challenge. It’s the fastest-moving and most-complicated script that I’ve ever had the joy to tackle.”

Raffel credits her cast of four for that.

“No one rests during this show. All actors are on for just about all scenes - in various characters - men and women,” Raffel said.

“The actors get a workout, that’s for sure.

There is so much action, each scene had to be choreographed before we could even begin rehearsal.”

39 Steps runs through Aug. 2. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for seniors (62+) and students.

Hamilton Crossing to expand

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton Crossing West, which is west of U.S. 31, is looking to expand by adding another building development where there is unused parking.

The office center is north of 12800 N. Meridian Street and across U.S. 31 from Meijer and many restaurants and retail buildings that have been affected by construction.

With the ongoing construction from U.S. 31, some of the nearby retail businesses in that area have reported decreases in business as construction made it hard to access the center.

Traffic has improved recently as access over U.S. 31 opened up with the 126th Street and Carmel Drive bridge in early July. Complete use of U.S. 31 should be mostly complete in the fall. After July 10, construction on U.S. 31 has shifted and traffic can now drive on the new outside lanes on U.S. 31.Once U.S. 31 is redone and reopened, the hope is that it should mean increased traffic to neighboring businesses.

The new three-story building will have more than 54,000 square feet. The applicant is also seeking approval for a three percent reduction in parking spaces required for this building and neighboring buildings. This new building is located between existing three story and four story buildings.

Young Carmel twins find acting is their passion

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Typically, twins share many of the same loves. Acting reigns supreme for Carmel 10-year-olds Mitchell and Amelia Wray.

Yet while Amelia prefers more bubbly roles and enjoys singing and dancing, Mitchell is fine with the cover story more serious roles.

“He’s an old soul,” their mother, Chauncie Wray, said. “He’s always been that way.”

That ability which he displayed in a public service video, helped him land the role of Carlos in “Crossroads of America,” which was filmed in Indianapolis this spring.

“He wasn’t able to read the script because [the subject matter] wasn’t age appropriate,” Wray said. “He had to cry, scream and yell. It was an intense movie. They kept him so protective and they were so good to him.”

Lara Sampson Hemingway, the movie’s writer and producer who also plays one of Carlos’ sisters, said Carlos was a difficult character for a young actor to play.

“He’s going through really twisted family stuff, and there’s content Mitchell himself can’t see,” Hemingway said. “He went into filming with the fewest instruments, and still gave a stunning performance. When I do a scene with another actor, I think of it as ‘going into the ring’ with them. Mitchell is a real contender in the ring. We had a lot of hard scenes, and Mitchell

was right in there with us. He’s a very hard-working actor, not even for his age, I mean just in general. He’s already a pro.”

The twins will be fifth graders at Carmel’s Towne Meadow Elementary School this fall. Mitchell and Amelia have been regularly performing in the Junior Civic Theatre at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre.

Amelia

Favorite TV show: “Glee” Favorite destination: If I get a scholarship, I want to move to California so incredibly, crazy bad. One, because it’s beautiful there. Two, because there are more (acting) opportunities there and three, my favorite YouTubers in the world live there. If I got to meet them, it would be a Fan Girl moment and I would fall on the ground.

Favorite food: I love salads but sometimes I have to have a little sugary carb in me. I love cheeseburgers, French fries, fried pickles, mac and cheese…

Favorite book: I really like the “The Dork Diaries” series because it’s so girly.

“His kindergarten teacher came over and babysat one day and I came home and she said, ‘Have you ever read any of the things he’s written?’ She said his writing is incredible and he’s so creative. We put him in every sport there was and he didn’t like team sports. He was still fascinated with DVDs and reading the covers.”

So Wray decided when the twins were 6 years old, she would get them involved with Junior Civic because Amelia shared her brother’s interest.

“They’ve always worked together,” Wray said.

Amelia would act in the mini-movies that her brother would write. He has his own YouTube site, called Mitchell the Critic.

Mitchell said he doesn’t have any doubt that he will be a director or an actor when he grows up.

“I don’t love singing, but you have to be well-rounded,” Mitchell said.

Although Amelia doesn’t have Mitchell’s gift for writing, she shares his love of acting.

“I love to sing. I love to dance and I love to act because it’s my passion,” Amelia said.

Mitchell has already auditioned for another movie role.

“I like getting to express my feelings,” Mitchell said. “It was the best experience ever because I loved getting to do a movie.

It was the time of my life. You never know if it’s going to be your last time.”

Mitchell

Favorite TV show: “Dr. Who” Favorite destination: California, because that’s where Universal Studios is and if I ever got to work there I would love it. Wherever Stephen Spielberg lives, I want to go live with him. He is inspiration all the way.

Favorite sport: If you call skateboarding a sport, I love to skateboard.

Favorite food: Fettuccine Alfredo. No, wait, I love me a good steak, a filet.

Favorite book: “The Keepers: The Box and the Dragonfly” by Ted Sanders.

Always fun to catch up with the dynamic duo of Steve and Lori Anzalone, of Carmel. I met them at the Heartland Film Festival years ago where their daughter Molly screened her film. The Anzalone’s said they like to support the arts by attending different film festival and also love Current.

“Where’s Amy?” enjoyed chatting with Carmel/Muncie filmmaker Forest Etsler (middle) and his brother Jesse Etsler and cousin Marc Akers, both from Carmel.

“Where’s Amy?” She was checking out the 2015 Indy Film Festival at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The IFF opening film “Sleeping With Other People” was a hit with the audience and afterwards I enjoyed the after party designed for filmgoers to have conversations about the film. I ran into a lot of Current ZIP code friends throughout the evening and mingled with local Carmel filmmaker Forest Etsler and his family. “Where’s Amy?” always supports local film makers and was thrilled to see local artist and high school pal Philip Campbell’s film “Your Catfish Friend: Philip Campbell.” Two filmmakers from Carmel had films shown as well; Michael Goldburg had a big attendance for his short film “What’s Eating Dad?” and my favorite film “Peanut Gallery” by Molly Gandour was hands down a crowd favorite. The IFF also had a sold-out brewer’s brunch where filmgoers had a chance to try delicious beer samples from local breweries, brunch and attend a screening of the hit “Blood, Sweat and Beer.” Hat’s off to the executive director Craig Mince of Carmel, president Jason Roemer and the entire IFF Committee, volunteers and sponsors for one heck of a film festival.

Paper Towns Fishers mother and daughter team Angie and Elena Six told ‘Where’s Amy?” they both love and have read all of Hoosier Author John Green books and can’t wait to see “Paper Towns” … they also mentioned that when they aren’t reading John Green books they love to read Current In Fishers for all the local updates and news. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” I was on the red carpet with Hoosier author John Green and several celebrities for the popular “Paper Towns - Get Lost Get Found Tour.”

Yep, more than 2,500 screaming die-hard fans lined up at the Old National Centre in Indy at 5 a.m. to secure a seat and a hopeful glimpse of Green and clan.

After waiting several hours in the scorching sun, lucky fans were treated to a special musical performance by The Wolff Brothers, a 19-minute sneak preview of exclusive footage from the movie and a Q & A with the cast and some other surprises. Talent included Indianapolis 500 drivers Joseff Newgarden, Sage Karam and Conor Daly. Indianapolis Colts player Anthony Castonzo and teammate Jack Newhart were there. Greg Ballard, Mayor of Indianapolis (who presented Green with a proclamation and an official “John Green Day”), Akilah Hughes, YouTube creator and host of the Paper Towns #GetLostGetFound Tour, and the film’s heartthrobs, musician Alex Wolff, actor Nat Wolff and actress Halston Sage. The day was full of red carpet excitement and although I could not hear for days due to the screaming fans, “Where’s Amy?” gives “Paper Towns” two thumbs up! Go see “Paper Towns,” in theaters now.

Carmel High School best friends and John Green buffs Anna Fagin, Molly Foster and Emma Nisanson got to the Red Carpet event at 5 a.m. to assure good seats. These girls said they always check out Current because Current is the coolest.

“Where’s Amy?” was on the red carpet representing Current Publishing and hanging out with Paper Towns’ Nat Wolff, Halston Sage and John Green. The film is playing now screening nationally and is already a huge hit.

Schedule desire strong

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P The proper call for safety’s sake It’s no secret we’ve been inundated with rain this summer. It affects plans for so many. The deluge of “liquid sunshine” plays havoc on multiple fronts. There is so much clay around these parts that the water seeps in only so far before it begins to pool.

And so it came to pass, unfortunately, that the Traders Point Hunt Charity Horse Show, previously scheduled to run from Aug. 4-9, was cancelled last week as a result of what the rain left behind. Primarily, that would be an overly soggy Wild Air Farms, where the event has enjoyed an ultra-successful, 37year run. It’s far too dangerous to erect tents and portable stables, as was the finding of Town of Zionsville officials. Can you imagine driving tent stakes and other support or anchoring mechanism into what in some places amounts to pudding? The cancellation, without question, was an excellent call. Yes, we wanted it all to come off without a hitch, for it is an event we enjoy and sponsor. It’s better this way. Having talked to the show’s local leadership, we now know this was a gut-wrenching decision, but the only logical decision that could be made. There was no need to risk the lives of humans and horses, or property, for that matter, by forcing the staging of the event. It was a decision made in the name of safety, and it was a smart one at that. The show, which was to have benefitted Riley Hospital for Children, draws from all our communities as well as from several states beyond. Knowing the organizers and the decision makers at Wild Air, we believe we are safe to assume the show will rise and ride again in far better conditions. At the very least, we hope that will be the case.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The worth of our sentimentality Commentary by Terry Anker The purchase of our first home included with it a vintage refrigerator nearly original to the 70-year-old residence. We lovingly referred to it as the DeSoto for its curved top and liberal use of chrome deco-styled trim. It reminded us of the state-of-theart vehicles built to satisfy the pent-up demand immediately following the merciful end of World War II. And much like the auto we imagined it to emulate, the door was comprised of an abundance of steel and the sound, if closed with great vigor, quite satisfactorily replicated that of a slamming car door.

My parents, concerned for our newlywed well-being, surprised us with the gift of a current model not long after we movedin. Even as our hopes for the place were boundless, our budget was not. As I recall, Mom and Dad even threw in some food – just to get us started. But, I couldn’t bring myself to retire the DeSoto. With a much stronger (and younger) back then than

now, I moved the displaced behemoth to the basement to fill with tasty beverages and the occasional overflow from our proud new appliance in the kitchen.

Some years later, our fortunes had improved but the DeSoto was still doing yeoman’s work. In the frequent power outages that often accompany older homes with even older infrastructure, we could count on the thick walls and insulation to keep contents cool for hours – if not days – on end.

I was proud of the DeSoto (and maybe a little smug about my self-proclaimed thrift).

Then a particularly environmentally-minded friend chastised me pointing out that a new device would pay for itself with electricity savings in a single year. When is it best to let go of the past – and how do we determine the worth of our sentimentality?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

– Napoleon Hill

Blecht. I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I’m so done with summer vacation. It’s true, my friends, June and July haven’t materialized into that magical time of humor peaceful relaxation that I’ve dreamt about since January.

Perhaps it’s the Noah’s-Ark-worthy rain, although I prefer yard floods to scorching heat, but I actually think my intolerance is due to the remarkable lack of routine here at Chez Wilson.

Yes, we started out with a plan. Chores, Amish Day, and Game Night all made it onto the calendar, and kids’ classes, camps and hobbies filled the early days with as much suburban crisscrossing as this dance mom cared to orchestrate. My husband, Doo, and I even managed a couple of short trips sans minions where we remembered that we do, in fact, like each other.

But we never fell into any sort of regular, daily schedule, and as a former military cadet/mother of twin infants, my normal highoctane, high-efficiency M.O. toppled faster than our latest JENGA tower. Our teens have been sleeping until noon, eating at all hours, and playing video games until well past midnight. Peppered throughout are last-second requests for rides, laundry, and recipe ingredients. I feel like I’m caught in a rip-tide off the North Carolina coast without a life jacket or, more importantly, a shark baton. And I just want to lie on the beach!

Granted, I don’t miss grading Algebra tests or creating edible brown bag lunches from mystery meat and a can of mandarin oranges, but I clearly do not function properly without time constraints and a mile-long To Do list. To wit, if I have eight hours to write an article, it’s not going to happen; I’ll putter around the house delaying closet clean-outs and then watch six straight episodes of Breaking Bad. But if I only have thirty minutes between Color Guard drop-off and Tae Kwon Do pick-up on a school day, I can easily crank out a Pulitzer-worthy masterpiece.

So instead of feeling rejuvenated, I’m just feeing unaccomplished. August, and the beautiful ridged schedule it brings, can’t come soon enough! Peace out.

Current in Carmel

www.currentincarmel.com

Spreading the word Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Our kitchen renovation required cleaning out several drawers filled with exotic spices, most of which I had never heard humor of: anardana, advieh, amchoor powder and ajwain, to name a few. (Yes, my wife had them in alphabetical order.) Mary Ellen bought these when she went through her, “I am going to learn to be a gourmet cook” stage, the week after we got married. The stage left the following Monday.

Mary Ellen thought this would be a good time to wean me off my addiction to mustard and ketchup, two essential ingredients that the great chefs of the world have, inexplicably, eliminated from their food preparation.

There are occasional recipes with a touch of gourmet mustard, but when was the last time Wolfgang Puck smacked the bottom of an inverted ketchup bottle and drizzled his Chicken Kiev with Heinz 57?

During the transfer to the garage fridge, I left a jar of mayonnaise on the storage shelf overnight. Without the slightest hesitation, Mary Ellen tossed it in the garbage, but the next day I fished it out and slathered some on my sandwich. Mary Ellen panicked. “Are

you crazy? Why not just use it to make potato salad so we can wipe out the entire neighborhood at the summer block party?”

The mayonnaise jar did say “REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING,” as well as providing a hotline number for people with emergency mayonnaise questions. I didn’t know if I was calling a deli or New Delhi.

“Yes,” said the representative, “I get husbands calling all day long with this question. Commercial mayonnaise is loaded with acid-killing bacteria. And the eggs used are pasteurized. It’s perfectly safe, despite what every wife thinks.”

“So, I shouldn’t throw it out?”

“Of course you should throw it out! A husband can’t win a mayonnaise argument.”

He was right. I didn’t tell Mary Ellen about my phone call. It would have meant Hellman’s to pay.

Carmel’s Tarkington Theatre to host ‘Night at the Barre’

By Michelle Williams • news@currentincarmel.com

On July 31, Carmel will be graced with a performance from distinguished international ballet artists Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky. performance The dancers will be in town to give a master class to ballet students from around the country – students who will be given an exclusive opportunity to perform alongside the former principal dancers of American Ballet Theatre.

The performance will be part of a fundraising event, A Night at the Barre, benefitting the Indiana Ballet Conservatory. IBC is a not-for-profit ballet school founded in 2010, and is hosting its annual summer intensive program for pre-professional ballet dancing students.

Students from around the globe come to Carmel to seek pre-professional training from the world-class IBC faculty during these summer intensives.

“You want to get as much as you can throughout your summer intensive to have that edge you need at the start

of the school year,” said Missy Rust, IBC director of marketing and outreach.

“IBC is thrilled to bring this type of celebration of dance and education experience to the community. We are deeply grateful for the support we continue to receive as we cultivate the next generation of dancers right here in Carmel,” said IBC founding artistic director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall.

Yakovleva-Randall is an award-winning ballet dancer who has studied and worked in Russia, Korea and the United States.

IBC will host a special VIP event prior to the production, and will raffle off several items including a ski trip, tickets to the Center for the Performing Arts and dancewear. Funds raised will be used to provide scholarships to IBC students and to complete studio upgrades such as installing new bars on the walls.

The performance will take place at 7 p.m. at the Tarkington Theatre at the Center of the Performing Arts. Tickets may be purchased at www.IndianaBalletConservatory.org, and are $30 for general admission.

Rich Robinson, founder, songwriter and guitarist for multiplatinum rock band The Black Crowes will hold a solo acoustic performance at the Warehouse in Carmel performance July 31.

Robinson, who formed the band with his brother while attending high school in Georgia, has seen an extensive career touring worldwide with his various acts, releasing three solo albums and a suite of EPs and singles.

Through it all, Robinson credits the character of his brand of rock for keeping things interesting.

“The Crowes are the Crowes, and everyone in that band had their own personality musically,” Robinson said. “People that grew up and listen to music, we filter that music through our life experiences, what we hear, and then it comes out. The more character your music has, the more unique it is.”

Robinson’s latest album, “The Woodstock Sessions Vol. 3,” was released last year. A collection of songs recorded in front of a live audience at Applehead Studio, Robinson channeled a philosophy of solid musicianship that’s led to his multiple successes, by beginning with the bare bones of a song.

“I write that way,” Robinson said. “Most of the songs I write are written acoustically. To me, the belief I’ve always had is that if a song works in its most basic form, then it’s a good song.”

Like any authentic rocker, not thinking about the next step can be as key as planning out each one, Robinson said.

“It needs to be something that moves me and something that will come naturally,” Robinson said. “The art or the music always dictates what the record will be. Whatever comes out comes out. That’s how I always am.”

Tickets for Rich Robinson’s performance are $30 in advance and $35 the day of. For more information, visit liveforthemusic. com.

The American Chicano rock trio, comprised of brothers Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza, released their most recent studio album “Revelation” in 2014, which hit #42 on the Billboard U.S. Rock chart. The album was labeled the band’s “most naturalistic disc” since their earliest albums by the Austin Chronicle.

“We decided to call this album ‘Revelation’ because we want to make music that reveals something to people about their lives and their world,” Jojo Garza said.

The trio are most well known for the single “Heaven,” which rocketed to #1 on Billboard charts and led to two Grammy

“Revelation” is the group’s first recording since brother Henry Garza experienced a severe injury after falling from a stage in Los Angeles in early 2013.

“We nearly lost Henry, man, and that was a big change for us,” Jojo said.

Jojo added that that sense of family and brotherhood is what the band tries to pass on through the music they make.

BrewFest planned for Aug. 22

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com

Last year, Carmel’s Japanese sister-city hosted a cultural tent at Carmel Int’l Arts Festival. (File photo)

Carmel Int’l Arts Fest entertainment - sneak peek This 18th-annual Carmel International Arts Festival, scheduled for Sept. 26 and 27, will be kicked off at 10 a.m. on Sept. 26 by a parading Chinese dragon from Main Street to the Market District Stage on South Range Line Road. There also will be performances on the West Stage, southwest quadrant of West Main Street and the Monon Trail. "Entertainment schedules are being developed", a spokeswoman for the festival said, "and will be finalized the first week of August." Contracted Day One performances thus far include Phone Club, Indiana Ballet Conservatory, Circle City Steel Band and Dwight Lightning and the Conch City All-Stars. An array of local and international entertainers will perform on Sept. 27. The lineup will include Japanese Minyo Dancers, Carmel Youth Ballet, Slammer Jammer Jazz Trio, guitarist/vocalist Tim Wright and Celtic fiddler Emily Ann Thompson. For more information, visit www.CarmelArtsFestival.org

Indianapolis-area craft beer fans will have the opportunity to turn their brews into benefits for a Carmel-based charity organizaphilanthropy tion next month.

The District BrewFest, presented by entertainment venue The Warehouse, will be held Aug. 22 on 1st Ave. S.W. by the Historic Fire Station.

Proceeds from the event will be donated towards Chaucie’s Place, a CarmelClark based charity focused on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide in Hamilton and Boone counties.

“We’re passionate about the cause because a lot of work involves kids,” Heather Clark, co-owner of the Warehouse, said. “It’s something that isn’t talked about enough.”

The event will feature a variety of craft brewers, includ-

ing Wabash Brewing and Granite City Brewery, in an attempt to dedicate the event to Indiana-based brewers, Clark said. More than 40 craft beers and several food vendors are set to be featured.

Get rid of fat in your soup – Don’t despair about soup that’s too fatty. It can be fixed. If you have time, put the pot of soup in the refrigerator, wait 30 minutes, then skim the grease from the top and reheat. If you’re short on time, add a few ice cubes and remove them as soon as you see grease sticking to them. Or try tossing a large lettuce leaf into the pot to absorb any extra oil. Discard the leaf once it looks limp.

Try quinoa – quinoa (keen-wah) is a grain that has 150 percent more fiber and 100 percent more protein than white rice. Try replacing rice with it in your favorite recipes for a health boost. Quinoa is also a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin E, and potassium.

Substitute yogurt for cream – In a pinch, yogurt can be substituted for cream in recipes that don’t require cooking. It’s healthier too! But yogurt can curdle when cooked — in which case, it’s best to stick with whole milk or half-and-half.

Sparks Talks provide motivation

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The three tenets of Sparks Talks are: Mingle, Be Inspired and Share.

The talks, whose motto is growth Bright Ideas Shared, begins with some an hour of networking with professionals followed three individuals with timed talks.

There are two 4-minute talks and one 10-minute talk. There is a big clock on the stage and if the speaker fails to end his talk in time, he is clapped off the stage. The talks are run by Indianapolis resident Chris Reed once a month at Moon Dog Tavern, 4825 E. 96th St., Indianapolis. The next talk is scheduled for Aug. 12. Reed, who runs Cast a Bigger Net marketing company out of Launch Fishers, said the audience’s average is 120.

His idea was inspired by TED (Technology Education and Design) talks, a nonprofit whose motto is ideas worth spreading.

“These are not pitches, they are experiential learning (talks) where you are understanding a new way of thinking,” Reed said.

Realizing there was nothing like that in Indianapolis, Reed started the Sparks talks three years ago. Sponsorship dollars offset the cost.

Reed, 46, said the idea of the shared experience is there might be someone in your life you might be separated from for long period.

“But the moment you get back together it’s right where that relationship left off,” Reed said. “That’s because the relationship got solidified based on a shared experience, you went to high school together, you got drunk together … whatever you’re blood brothers.

That’s the kind of relationship you’d love to get with people but it’s hard to get there.”

So Reed said people coming to Sparks are relaxed with a couple of cocktails after work, but still have high energy because they want to network.

“That share after the talk about what they got from it and what nugget they are walking away from it because you may not have caught that,” Reed said. “That way we all grow faster.”

Reed said the clock keeps the audience’s

Chris Reed, founder of Sparks. (Submitted photo)

attention because they are wondering if the speaker is going to make it.

“When it hits zero, they don’t get an extra second to finish their thought, they’re done,” Reed said.

Sandi Ballard, who lives in Lawrence Township, gave the 10-minute talk at the July 8 talk.

Ballard recently wrote a book “From There to Here,” which is her story on how she let fear control her path.

“One of those things is to get through the fear and get up and do it,” Ballard said of speaking in public.

Reed also is working on Sparks talks centered on topics, such as well-being and tech.

The Sparks Well-Being is set for July 31 at Transformation Fitness and Wellness, 1222 N. Pennsylvania, St., Reed said.

“I’ve lost 65 pounds in the last fourand-a-half months so I’m going to give a Sparks Well-Being talk because I was encouraged by a guy who came to Sparks six months ago and talked about how he lost 100 pounds in a year,” Reed said.

Home sales up 8 percent

Commentary by Jim Litten

F.C. Tucker Company reported more than 16,000 pended home sales in the first half of the year, resulting in a real estate year-to-date increase of 8.8 percent compared to this time last year. Year-to-date sales prices also increased nearly 5 percent. The average year-to-date sales price for a home in the nine-county area was $182,627.

June 2015 pended home sales, however, slipped 4.8 percent compared to June 2014.

F.C. Tucker reported 2,806 homes sold, a modest decline of 143 homes. Hamilton County is among the areas where sales slipped while prices trended up.

• In Hamilton County, 595 homes pended in June 2015, a decrease of 15.2 percent, while the average sale price climbed to $275,801, an increase of 3.5 percent.

• Specifically in Carmel, the average sale price in June 2015 rose 2.7 percent to $350,853, an uptick of $9,180 over June 2014.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, 24 were priced $500,000 to

$999,999; 55 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 36 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 28 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and four were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Inventory in Carmel is stable. Last month, 614 homes were for sale, an increase of six homes compared to June 2014.

• Pended home sales in Carmel have declined. In June 2015, 147 homes pended, a decrease of 38 homes compared to June 2014.

• Homes are selling at a steady pace in Carmel. On average, homes sold in 72 days during the first six months of this year, one day slower than the same time period last year.

Though conditions tilt toward a seller’s market, there are still great opportunities for buyers to find an array of houses at various price points.

Outdoor living expert names project and customer of the decade Commentary by Randy Sorrell From a drab sea of blue stone and under used space to seven fabulously designed outdoor living spaces, Surroundings Carmel-based Surroundings by NatureWorks+ transformed this Northside home’s backyard living area in four short months.

Homeowners, Steve and Courtenay Wagner, knew they wanted to upgrade their backyard to maximize the outdoor living area and utilize the space year around. They felt they had a great canvas to work with but weren’t sure how to bring their vision to life on that canvas. “We loved how owner Randy Sorrell and registered landscape architect Eric Beard took the time to get to know our family and how we planned to use the space. They made us feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process from planning and design to installation and the finished project,” said Steve Wagner.

The job had potential to be a phased project, but the Wagners elected to knock it all out at once in order to be able to utilize their new luxury outdoor space as soon as possible for family events and entertaining. The project included rehab to their blue stone patio, along

with a considerable expansion, a stamped concrete “rug” insert to echo the ribbon around the pool, lanais loaded with amenities, and a brick and mortar formal fireplace.

Also adding interest were several pergolas, formal limestone and mortar walls with raised planters, a rescued and repurposed aggregate walk highlighted with blue stone, and a deck landing for transition to the lower woods in

the rear of the home. Final touches included landscape lighting, drip irrigation and low maintenance “triple threat” landscaping that included plants with four-season interest and tons of color.

“We’ve been involved in smaller projects, larger projects, more complex and maybe even more elaborate, but the Wagner’s project especially resonated with us,” said Surroundings

owner Randy Sorrell.

With over 20 years in industry, Surroundings is passionate about their profession and is pleased to celebrate the Wagner family as not only the Project of the Decade, but Customer of the Decade as well! Their sophisticated project yielded multiple living spaces that each fit perfectly with the home’s lush surrounding nature, including a canopy of mature trees and a lower trail with a winding creek and meadow.

In continued celebration of their clients and staying home and being moved, Surroundings is launching a fun on-going social campaign where their customers can share pictures from their gorgeous and relaxing luxury outdoor living spaces featuring flat Randy and Eric. Monthly a winner will be chosen from client photo submissions for a Surroundings prize pack.

Carpet options: We’ve got you covered Commentary by David Decker For generations, people have enjoyed the soft, warm atmosphere that carpeting creates in their homes. But even the at home most diligent homeowner can only prolong the life of a carpet for so long. Carpet doesn’t last forever. You’ll know it’s time to invest in a remodel if you start noticing worn patches, snags, wrinkles or matting on your carpet fibers. One, two or any combination of these signs indicates that the carpet and padding are nearing the end of their life and it may be time to investigate some new options.

First, let’s take a minute to go over some carpet vocabulary, just in case you are unfamiliar with carpeting lingo. “Pile” refers to the length and density of the carpet fibers, a construction characteristic that directly affects the carpet’s look, texture and durability.

There are several main types of carpet styles. Plush carpet is probably the most popular style on the home market today.

The pile is designed to be flat, which makes the surface of plush carpet feel more cushiony and soft to walk across. There are also textured plush designs, which are more resistant to vacuum marks and footprints. Frieze car-
