Iguana, cat rescued from house fire

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Fire Dept. rescued what firefighter Scott Woodburn described as “a prehistoric beast” at 8:20 p.m. fire dept. July 23.

A neighbor called 911 to report smoke coming from a home near 136th Street and Towne Road. Firefighters arrived within minutes and found smoke and fire billowing from the back bedroom window. Lt. Michael McNeely said firefighters were inside within two minutes to begin extinguishing the flames and search for victims or pets. The family was not home at the time, but a neighbor reported that the family had two pets.

“We actually came across a very large cage for the iguana,” McNeely said. “Initially, he didn’t look too happy to see us.”

The second pet, a cat, was found hiding in the master bedroom. Firefighters rescued the cat and administered oxygen. A fish tank also was found in the house, but McNeely said fish seem to do all right during house fires.

McNeely reported that the fire started because of an electrical issue. He said the door to the downstairs bedroom was closed, which helped to compartmentalize the fire. Had the door been open, he said the fire would have likely spread beyond the bedroom and fully engulfed the upstairs.

“A huge thing that saved this house and saved the pets was the fact that they had their doors closed,” McNeely said.

McNeely said pet rescue is a common occurrence for CFD, and they routinely rescue cats and dogs.

An iguana rescue, however, does not happen often.

Firefighters Scott Woodburn and Justin Cox were tasked with the rescue of what Woodburn initially joked was a “1,000 pound, 14-foot-long prehistoric beast.” They found the iguana in its cage with its eyes closed.

“We went in with our gear on, very brave, ready to save the day,” Woodburn said. “Suddenly, all the courage left our bodies as we looked at this prehistoric beast.”

Woodburn and Cox weren’t sure how to approach the iguana. Woodburn said they tried to throw a blanket over its head, but their initial attempt failed, leaving only the head

Firefighter Scott Woodburn compared the incident to Pee Wee Herman rescuing the live snakes in the film “Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure.”

Woodburn said the family was very thankful that the CFD was able to rescue their pets.

exposed.

Woodburn said when he gathered up the courage to approach the iguana, it quickly crawled up the wall of its tank, cocked his head and shifted his “crazy lizard eye” toward Woodburn. Woodburn said he asked the iguana to remain calm as he prepared to grab him.

“He’s fighting for his life. I’m scared for my life,” Woodburn said.

Woodburn, equipped with gloves, a blanket and a flashlight, said once he got hold of the iguana, its tail began whipping around in the dark, smoky room. Woodburn said at that moment he recalled advice from a nature show that said if you hold a lizard underneath its body, it will calm down.

“I just scooped him up like a baby, and as soon as I did he turned into the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen,” Woodburn said. “It truly was a battle. I felt like I was in Jurassic Park.”

Woodburn estimated the iguana weighed 10 pounds and was roughly 4 feet long.

don’t go back in CFD keeps oxygen masks and first aid supplies on-hand to assist pets affected by house fires or dangerous situations. CFD Lt. Michael McNeely encourages homeowners not to go back inside a building to save a pet during a house fire.

“Never, ever, ever go back in to get a pet.

That’s our job. We’ll do it,” McNeely said.

“We treat pets like they are people, and we will definitely go in and search and do what we can do to save a pet, because we know they’re as important as family.”

Jim White has a passion for helping families reach their full potential. So near the end of 2016, he inlife coach corporated his nonprofit, The Successful Family, to provide education and coaching for those going through tough times.

“The big-picture purpose is to find ways to help people and to engage with them,” he said.

The Carmel resident defines a successful family as “one that speaks with respect, honors differences, provides a nurturing environment, supports each other and enjoys being together. Successful families have a knack for really enjoying and appreciating the good times, while at the same time, they have the ability to effectively deal with difficult issues that come their way.”

White provides assistance through website blogs, podcasts and workshops. His goal is to offer coaching at no cost and use workshops and book fees as revenue sources.

A family man White and his wife, Anne, met during their sophomore year at Lawrence North High School. Thirty-three years later, they have six kids between ages 15 and 30 and seven grandchildren.

White attended Indiana Wesleyan University, where he studied business and accounting. He worked in his family’s manufacturing company after graduating from college before moving on to health insurance for 15 years. For the past five years, he has worked at Katz, Sapper & Miller as a certified public accountant.

During his time in insurance, White went through the family coaching certification process.

“I really didn’t do anything with it at that time,” he said. “It was more of personal development.”

He has always had an interest in family and spiritual enrichment but said now is the right time for him to open this business. ”Our kids have gotten older, and now is the time to start doing something with the family coaching and the writing,” he said.

“It just seems like the right time for me in my life cycle.”

In taking the leap, White had help from two friends, Roger Helmkamp and Pat Gibbons. They serve as the nonprofit’s board members. “(Creating this organization) was kind

of interesting and also not surprising,” Gibbons said. “Jim is always one for good, creative ideas. Knowing him and his faith background, it seemed like a natural fit.”

Coaching and clients The organization also offers family enrichment education through book reviews and workshops. White has planned several parenting workshops for the fall. From those, he wants to connect with clients who might be in need of a family coach.

Coaching is done via phone in 30-minute sessions. Some families only need one phone call while others require weekly calls for a few months. White said the process depends on the family’s circumstance and what they want out of the experience. “(Jim) just has this very calming and patient personality, so I just think he has a lot to offer other families,” Helmkamp said.

School board ratifies 2016-2017 teacher contract

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees voted July 24 to ratify a 2016-17 contract with the Carmel Teachers’ Associaeducation tion. The contract includes a 1.5 percent pay increase that is effective retroactively.

Teachers worked the 2016-17 school year without a contract as CTA and the previous union, the Carmel Clay Education Association, battled over who would represent CCS educators.

The Indiana Education Employment Relations Board ruled in August 2016 that bargaining couldn’t begin until teachers voted on whether to decertify CCEA as its union, but the election was delayed after CCEA filed an unfair labor complaint against CCS that same month. IEERB cleared CCS of any wrongdoing in a ruling issued in March. In May, CCS teachers voted to decertify CCEA and replace it with CTA. Bargaining for the 2017-18 school year will begin in September.

other action The school board also: • Appointed Sara Inskeep principal at Forest Dale Elementary.

• Appointed Kim Inskeep Barrett interim principal at Towne Meadow Elementary as the district continues to search for a permanent replacement.

Barrett retired Barrett as principal of Smoky Row Elementary at the end of the 2016-17 school year.

• Approved material and rental fee changes for 2017-18.

CFD trains for water rescues

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Several Carmel firefighters left behind their 75 pounds of regular gear to spend time completing public safety water-rescue training July 18 to 20 at the Hamilton County Training Facility.

CFD trains in all aspects of water rescue scenarios each year, including how to turn over a capsized boat, maneuvering in the water, pulling a patient into the boat and rope and rescue techniques.

CFD firefighter and spokesman Tim Griffin said the yearly water rescue training is key for staying prepared during the summer months.

“It’s so important because we want to be the very best we can be for the community and citizens we serve. And that includes all aspects of rescue operations from water rescue, fire suppression, EMS, hazardous materials and everything in between,” Griffin said. “Not to mention we know that every year we will be called to these types of calls, so we need to be prepared.”

CFD is called to several water rescues each year at local rivers and retention

ponds, Griffin said, especially after heavy rains. In the winter, CFD also participates in ice rescue training at the facility, which allows CFD to have a place for fire training, EMS training, water rescue, search and rescue and more.

Griffin encourages the community to practice water safety by watching the weather, making sure to pack all safety equipment, wearing a personal floatation device on the water and being responsible with alcohol use.

CHS grad plays key role in title

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Being part of the national championship team is a memory Ben Clevenger will forever treasure.

The 2016 Carmel High baseball School graduate was a freshman pitcher on the Kankakee (Ill.) Community College baseball team.

“It was awesome,” Clevenger said. “(Kankakee) never won it before, and my coach (Todd Post) was only there once before (in the World Series) in his 17 seasons.

He would always compare us to the 2009 team, and we really took it upon ourselves to win the whole thing.”

The seventh-seeded Cavaliers lost the first game and came out of the losers’ bracket to win the next six games and the championship, beating No. 4 seed Mercer County (N.J.) 11-5 in June to win the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II Baseball World Series in Enid, Okla.

“I’d say it was my best experience,” Clevenger said of winning the title. “The biggest thing was overcoming the adversity of losing the first game. We never put our heads down. We never thought we were going to lose. We took it one game at a time, and it

ended up turning out great for us.”

Clevenger, a right-hander who was 6-1 this season, was in the starting rotation all season and pitched in relief in the playoffs, Post said.

“Ben had a solid freshman season and came up big for the Cavaliers out of the bullpen during the World Series,” Post said.

Post said Clevenger is getting some great experience this summer, which will help him as he returns to the starting rotation at Kankakee for his sophomore season.

Clevenger is pitching for the Grand River (Mich.) Loggers in the Great Lakes Collegiate League.

Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and local 4-H members are joining forces to provide local pantries with giving back much-needed protein.

“Protein is an item that is often missing from our clients’ meals and hard to provide consistently by the pantries because of cost,” said Anita Hagen, executive director of the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank.

Hagen said families that utilize the food bank are appreciative when beef and pork are in stock. She said local 4-H members told her that it is special to them to have their animals and hard work benefit the community.

Donations are used to purchase beef and dairy steers and hogs at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair and go toward the 4-H members and programs.

The 4-H Beef and Pork program is special to Hagen. Her son is a 4-H member, and Hagen also participated in the program.

She said she knows from experience that 4-H members put a lot of passion and hard work into their projects.

Peace Pole built near Monon

NUTRITION STRENGTH-TRAINING CARDIO FLEXIBILITY

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Doran Gwyn heard about Peace Poles, the Carmel resident was intrigued.

Gwyn said a Japanese pathways man, Masahisa Goi, had made one several years after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The pole had the simple inscription, “May peace prevail on earth.”

“I think it’s a good message to put out to the community,” Gwyn said.

So Gwyn decided to design one and put it up at the end of his driveway at 11420 Ralston Ave., which borders an entrance to the Monon Trail.

“A woman told me there is a World Peace Prayer Society where you can register your Peace Pole, and right now there are more than 200,000 around the world,” Gwyn said.

“I haven’t certified mine yet, but I’m going to.”

Gwyn painted the pole himself and placed it in the fall of 2016.

“This is a project that took me three years to finalize it and get it up,” said Gwyn, who works for Chrysler Corp. in Kokomo. “It’s an 8-foot pole (with 6 feet

above ground), and I started painting it in my basement. I painted it when I got free time because I work full time, and over the last few years I put in quite a few hours at work.”

Gwyn also made a free reading library for children. There are three neighborhoods that use that entrance to the Monon Trail.

Gwyn and his wife, Elizabeth, have lived in the home for 23 years. His sons, Shawn and Travis, are Carmel High School graduates. Both are married and live in Carmel.

All about authenticity Chris tkindlmarkt CEO working to bring tas te of Germany to Carmel

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Maria Murphy, a 30-year-old banker and relative newcomer to the world of Carmel politics, is set to take on the task of CEO and market master for the new Christkindlmarkt, which will open Nov. 18 surrounding the yet-to-be constructed ice skating rink near The Palladium. Murphy brings with her a knowledge of Germany — having studied there and being fluent in the language — along with organizational skills, networking experience and a passion for the arts.

“It’s really an honor to be named to this position,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting it.”

The marketplace, based on a longstanding German tradition, will be a place where attendees can buy Christmas ornaments, small toys, handmade gifts and German food. Murphy is not in charge of the skating rink operations.

It all began when Murphy, then working as vice president of Lake City Bank, attended a Carmel small business networking event and saw a presentation

by Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard about his vision for the traditional German marketplace. After the speech, she talked to the mayor and mentioned that she spent her senior year of high school in Germany as part of a youth exchange scholarship set up by then-

Sen. Richard Lugar. Brainard asked her if she wanted to serve on an exploratory committee that would figure out what the market could be, and from her membership on the committee she was offered a fulltime job at $110,000 annually for at least three years.

The market itself will be open for less than six weeks, but

Christkindlmarkt Location: Surrounding the soon-to-be constructed ice skating rink near The Palladium where the Center Green sits.

Dates: From Nov. 18 to Dec. 24. It will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Hours: 4 - 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 1 - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 1 - 9 p.m. Sunday, Closed Monday and Tuesday Murphy’s job will be year-round to make contact with vendors, manage the budget, coordinate volunteers and more.

About the market

German-made items such as these will be available at the Christkindlmarkt. (Photo by Ann Marie Shambaugh)

Murphy said the goal of the Christkindlmarkt is to be as authentic as possible. Hot chocolate will be sold, but it must be made with German chocolate, she said.

“We want it to be an authentic cultural experience for people,” she said. “It should entertain and educate people.”

Murphy said there will be 10 or more food options, made on-site or prepackaged treats. There will be bratwursts and pretzels, which she said should satisfy even picky eaters and children.

“It’s not dinner,” she said. “We want to

drive people to the local businesses.”

But the signature treat will be Gluehwein, a winter beverage that some know as an after-ski drink. It’s a warm mulled wine with spices and sugar, although a nonalcoholic version might be sold. She said there’s a plan for drinks to be served in a commemorative mug that guests can keep. If customers don’t want to keep the mug, they can return it to get a small amount of money back, she said.

Some cities do special mugs each year, and they can become collector’s items.

“I wanted to maybe do an arts contest to design the mug, but there’s not enough time for this year, so maybe next year,” she said.

There will be 42 huts for the marketplace.

Many will be approximately 12-feet by 12feet, although some will be double that size. There will be a hut for ice skate rental and a hut to store the zamboni needed for the ice.

The booths will be run by the Christkindlmarkt nonprofit or the business owners themselves. In many cases, Murphy will facilitate the purchase of items such as ornaments and gifts to be shipped from Germany, and then the nonprofit will hire people to sell the goods, with all proceeds going back into the nonprofit’s budget.

In other cases, a local business can sign a contract for a hut and agree to give a percentage of all sales to the nonprofit.

Although the goal is to be as authentically German as possible, Murphy said another objective is to engage local small businesses. She’s already talked to a local bakery to provide authentic German treats.

Santa Claus is expected to make an appearance Nov. 18 at the Holiday on the Green celebration, which will be held for the first time at that location. He might make other appearances as well, but Murphy said Clay Terrace and other places have that niche covered. Santa isn’t a daily feature at traditional markets in Germany and Chicago.

In the future, Murphy said she wants to engage German students from Carmel High School to participate in the market and possibly hold events beyond its six-week window.

The Christkindlmarkt will run from Nov. 18 to Dec. 24. It will be closed on

Thanksgiving and on Mondays and Tuesdays. It will be open from 4 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 1 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturday. It will be open from 1 to 9 p.m. on Sundays.

Funding and the budget

Murphy was hired before the Carmel City Council approved a $220,000 grant to get the market started.

She serves as the city-created nonprofit’s top executive, and she answers to a three-member board that was appointed by Brainard. The president of that board is Dan McFeely, a former newspaper reporter who now serves as a consultant for the Mayor’s Office. McFeely often serves as a media spokesman and has an office in City Hall.

“I want to point out that the amount paid to Maria is not a salary but a consulting fee pursuant to a contract,” Brainard said. “Thus, she has to pay double the Social Security an employee would pay as well as other expenses of a business, such as unemployment contributions, insurance, etc. Her husband, who holds an MBA, is also working on the project. The amount is appropriate for the responsibility and the skills and experience needed. Maria also speaks German and is able to cut out middlemen by contracting directly with German, Swiss and Austrian artisans and manufacturers of products.”

Brainard said the city decided to run the organization as a nonprofit rather than a government entity because it’s not subject to as many rules.

McFeely said meetings will be noticed and transparency will be key, especially since taxpayer money is given to the nonprofit. The city is still working to confirm 501(c)3 status. McFeely said operating as a nonprofit will allow for more charitable donations than it would as a government entity.

A budget created by Murphy projects that the

Christkindl Market could receive $420,000 in city funding for 2017 and $125,000 for 2018 but did not include any government grants projected for 2019 or 2020. Brainard said it’s possible the nonprofit could receive as much as $500,000 annually from the city.

Murphy projects beverage sales of $20,000 for the market in its first year, along with $12,000 in food sales. Those numbers climb to $28,000 and $35,000, respectively, by 2020.

For sale of goods, Murphy projects $285,504 for 2017, $329,678 for 2018, $510,064 for 2019 and $617,987 for 2020. Murphy said the numbers are ambitious but not unrealistic. She said she bases projections on the amount of goods they expect to purchase with the mark-up price factored in. She said it’s reasonable to expect as much as a 50 percent mark-up. The cost of purchasing goods are projected at $172,378 for 2017, $206,049 in 2018, $318,790 in 2019 and $388,242 in 2020.

“We have looked at other similar U.S. cities that have similar markets when projecting where we will be in 2020,” Brainard said. “Projections are not guarantees but best estimates, and we believe this number is conservative.”

As for other expenses, Murphy projects 2017 expenses that include $16,905 for travel, $109,875 for retail staff, $6,480 for a volunteer coordinator position, $55,000 for marketing and $70,000 for music and demonstrations. Murphy said it’s unknown if a volunteer coordinator will be hired for this year, but she put it in the budget because she said managing the market will be a large job during the 5 1/2-week period.

“It is important just not to look at the cost but the potential economic development returns in terms of the thousands of visitors we anticipate from all over central Indiana and the Midwest and the amount of money they will spend in Carmel businesses while visiting the Christkindlmarkt,” Brainard said.

When Heidi and Sabrina Wernicke, sisters and co-owners of The Quirky Feather Confectionary in Carmel, told their father they were going to participate in the new Carmel Christkindlmarkt, he was very excited.

Their father, Joachim Franz Wernicke, grew up in Brandenburg, Germany, and his family came to the U.S. in 1957 as political refugees from the former East Germany.

“When I told my dad, he walked to a closet and pulled this book out to start translating and said my stepmom should know where the handwritten ones are stashed,” Sabrina said.

“The publishing date in this cookbook is 1902. I am so The Quirky Feather Confectionary founders, Heidi and Sabrina excited to be a part of this.”

Wernicke, will sell items from their The Wernicke sisters family’s 1902 German cookbook at opened their late-night the Christkindlmarkt. Their father coffee shop in January came to the U.S. in 1957 as a refu2016. They bake a variety of gee from East Germany. (Submitted treats, including macarons, photo) blondie brownies, cookies and more. For the Christkindlmarkt, the Quirky Feather Confectionary will have a hut to sell authentic German baked goods.

The marekt will open Nov. 18 for its first year.

Heidi and Sabrina aren’t fluent in German, but they can communicate with their German relatives with “a combination of their broken English and our very broken German,” Sabrina said.

“Basically, we can order ice cream, play card games and have basic manners,” she said.

They grew up with some German cooking in the house, although not at every meal.

“We did always have knackwurst and sauerkraut on Christmas Eve and always got a package of German baked goods and candies from our family who is still over there,” Sabrina said.

“Our aunt has even made gluten-free stollen for our stepmom.”

o b s e r v a tion Limiting the defensive line

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Some days are perfect. The sun is shining. We awake refreshed before our alarm clocks roust us from our sublime slumber.

The day ahead is filled with anticipation and high expectations. And then, there are other days. The ones in which the rain falling is expected to change to ice – likely during our commute. The alarm failed to sound (or, more likely, we shut it off accidentally because of a restless night) and we are now already late for work.

We take them all, these contradictory days, in stride. What choice do we have?

Like a football team we gauge the nature of our opposition to plot our strategy. In some instances, we take an offensive stance. Running up the score, we expect to defeat weak resistance. But just as often, we must rely upon our defensive line. We dig in and cling to the earth, fighting for each inch as if they were yards. Do it we must; the game depends on our ability to stop the onslaught.

Yet, do we take the deportment too often? Would we be better if we ran the ball instead of burying it? Sure, it is OK to be defensive – sometimes it is the savviest move. But, it is not OK to feel perennially defensive. Human interaction requires that all parties engage and participate, each time, every time. When people imagine themselves under attack, they claim pardon from engagement. And, in the most severe and deplorable cases, they bully those around them into equal withdrawal.

Civil societies advance while dictatorships do not. Isn’t a constantly defensive posture a failed strategy?

READER ’ S V I EW Thanks for the great article, interview Editor, The Carmel Arts Council and I would like to thank Current for publishing such a wonderful article about the Carmel Arts Council’s summer art show, The Idle Mind.

The article was extremely informative regarding the art exhibition and did an excellent job of explaining the CAC’s purpose for producing this show.

We would also like to thank Heather Collins for her interview expertise.

Heather did a fantastic job of talking to our two student curators, Alex Thomas and Caroline Armstrong, and she made our curators feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the interview.

Heather’s questions were interesting, challenging and always very perceptive.

This was particularly important as part of

a curator’s job is to discuss their art exhibition in a way that others understand.

Both Harriet Warkel, the curators’ mentor, and I thought Heather’s interview was one of the best interviews given to our curators.

It is through our Emerging Curator Program and the summer art show that the CAC is able to provide opportunities for high school students to investigate career paths in the arts. The Carmel Arts Council is very appreciative of all the support Current gives to us as we strive to support and promote the arts and art education in Carmel. It is through your support that we are able to carry out our mission.

While I was watching the Peyton Manning bit he did for the ESPY Awards about his new life in a retirement humor home, all I kept thinking was “Exactly.” Senior living facilities sound like a little slice of heaven. Yes, Medicare is still a couple of decades away for me, but AARP is less than five years out.

Happy Acres could be a reality just as my youngest graduates high school!

I’m serious, folks. Peyton jokes about early dinners, craft time and competitive shuffle board, but ask anyone who knows me well and they’ll tell you those have “Danielle’s Dream Come True” written all over them. And having someone else cook, clean and drive for me? In my book, that’s called “vacation,” people.

It’s my understanding that these places also offer super-fun, organized mall outings and game mornings (bingo!), 24-hour access to soft-serve ice cream (score!) and, the piece de resistance . . . monthly Matlock marathons! And I can basically do whatever my currently pacemaker-free heart desires.

I can stay in my room all day and read nothing but Nora Roberts. I can eat supper at 4 p.m. and then immediately go to bed. I can even swear repeatedly for no reason at all, just like an NFL player (right, Peyton?). And no one, absolutely no one, will judge me for it because I’m in a retirement home . . . that’s just what old fogies do!

I’ve already spoken with my husband Doo, and he fully supports me, especially if he meets an unfortunate early demise. So, Peyton, hang in there. I’ll see you in 2022, and we’ll grow old together!

Peace out.

Mayor oblivious to fiscal responsibility Editor, Mayor Brainard is a visionary who has secured a legacy similar to former Indianapolis Mayor Bill Hudnut. However, Brainard’s latest $101 million bond proposal – including the carousel and a city-owned luxury hotel – shows that he has become oblivious to fiscal responsibility and the growing public opposition to unnecessary spending.

The carousel could be a nice addition, but he should have sought a donor or donors (individual and corporate) to finance it. His defense of spending $38 million to build and operate a “4.5 to 5 star” hotel also is concerning. He argues that corporations demand it but provides no details on which corporations refuse to move here or threaten to leave without it.

He also contends the city needs to pick up the tab because the private sector can’t justify the economics, and he dismisses the alternative of an upper midmarket business hotel (Marriott, Renaissance) as not “prestigious” enough. The reality is most businesses and all government contracts have caps on allowable hotel rates, so a luxury hotel would not serve business interests, nor would it provide an affordable option for leisure travelers wanting to stay downtown. I hope the city council pushes back appropriately.

Thank you, Carmel firefighters Editor, To the valiant firefighters of Carmel who came to my home June 13 when my house was struck by lightning, you are my heroes!

The firefighters fought the fire for hours as I watched, helplessly. We had no fire hydrants on our street because we are on well water. This slowed down the process, because they couldn’t hook up right away to water.

Thanks, also, to all the other firemen who showed up, too, from Zionsville, Indianapolis and Westfield. You all have my heartfelt thanks! I will be forever grateful to you all.

Our fridge gets a good once-over every month. We wipe off the shelves and throw out any food item that has a humor green slime. I’ve tossed out a lot of good guacamole based on this criterion.

In the back of the pantry, we found Greenie Hard Chews for dogs. The box said “best used” by August of ’16. But what could go wrong with them? I wondered. Would they turn greener, get harder, become even chewier? I was OK with that, and probably the dog would be, too — if we still had one.

Back in the closet went the Greenies.

There was a bottle of Bookbinder Cocktail Sauce for shrimp. It said: “Use by October 2014.” It looked fine, although I think shrimp sauce is supposed to be bright red, not black with maroon specks. It smelled better than the fresh shrimp that had been in our fridge for only 36 hours. Back it went.

We found some Orville Redenbacher Popcorn, and under Orville’s picture it said “Expires May 2005.” I put the jar back because I think that might have referred to Orville and not the popcorn.

date at all, but it did say “Famous since 1877.” I’m thinking this may have been a 100th anniversary edition of the product, so I got rid of it.

Finally, we threw away a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing. I think the name tells it all. It had hidden from us for 17 years.

In an effort to economize and be less wasteful, the Wolfsies decided to prepare a dinner out of food that probably should have been discarded: • Popeye Spinach (Best if used by December of ’13) • Artichoke hearts (Enjoy by March ’16) • Tomato soup (Use by April ’14) • StarKist Tuna (Put in toxic landfill after October 2010) We found a bottle of wine in the back of the closet. I immediately poured it down the drain.You can take a chance with a can of asparagus from 2011, but a bottle of Merlot from 2006 was just asking for trouble.

Breastfeeding and the new mom Commentary by Diana Garino, RN World Breastfeeding Week is Aug. 1-7. To celebrate mothers, babies and breastfeeding, Diana Garino, women’s health RN, childbirth and inpatient education coordinator at IU Health North Hospital, offers tips for new and expecting moms.

How can women prepare to breastfeed before giving birth?

One of the best things for expectant parents to do is take a breastfeeding class during pregnancy. In class, parents learn how the breast works, how to recognize baby’s hunger cues, how and when to nurse their baby, along with tips for positioning and latching.

Since newborn babies can’t say “Hey, mom, I’m hungry!� it’s important to watch the baby’s body language to know when to feed. Watch for signs like turning head side to side, sucking, hand movements toward face and smacking lips.

What advice would you give to expectant moms who want to breastfeed?

I recommend trying to breastfeed within the first hour of giving birth, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. A nurse or lacta-

editorial@youarecurrent.com Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by red cross the American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross through Aug. 31 will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross has experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood. org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply. “The blood supply is like a cellphone battery, it constantly needs recharging,� stated Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services

tion specialist can check the baby’s latch and give guidance as needed. When the baby latches, it may be uncomfortable but it should not be painful.

It’s also helpful to keep baby in the hospital room as much as possible so you can nurse on demand. Remember to allow baby to lead when breastfeeding by watching for those hunger cues! Feeding the baby based on hunger cues helps promote a good milk supply.

Finally, wait to introduce pacifiers and bottles until breastfeeding is a wellestablished routine. The motion required to nurse is different than that required to suck on a pacifier or bottle, and you don’t want to cause any confusion.

What advice would you give to moms who aren’t having success right away?

Use your resources! Above all, be patient. Breastfeeding is a learned activity for both baby and mom.Â

Blood shortage continues Region of the Red Cross. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.�

Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than needed were given through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days.

Books & Brews selects home

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com When Lori and Alex Stanley decided to open a Books & Brews franchise in Carmel, City Center had been on their new biz radar from the beginning.

“We feel like we are right in the heart of Carmel, and the space is in a convenient spot for a lot of different crowds of people – professional, arts/music with The Palladium and Arts District nearby, families and the Monon crowd, among others,” Alex said. “We did look at a couple of other locations, but from the time we first saw the inside of this space we knew this was the No. 1 target.”

One thing the couple loves about the space at 61 W. City Center Dr. is the ability to add a second door and a patio area in Wedgwood Way, the breezeway that runs through the building.

“It will be wonderful to offer outdoor seating to our customers in a breezeway like that, because it gives you the joy of being outside on a nice day, but it can also still be used when it is very hot or raining due to being completely covered,” he said.

The Carmel store will be similar to the

Sleep Disorders Seminar

Alex and Lori Stanley pause outside of the future home of Carmel’s first Books & Brews location.

other Books & Brews sites in terms of food, events and decor. But Alex said the couple plans to add their own personalities to it.

“Our location has a lot more windows rather than walls, so that will give our space a great vibe with a lot of natural light flowing in,” he said.

An opening date hasn’t been set. It will depend on the construction timeline and how quickly the space can be readied after that, but Alex wants to open in two to three months.

“We do plan on having a soft opening for five to seven days before our grand opening,” he said.

Little Eyes makes move

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Little Eyes has moved to a new space at 1372 S. Range Line Rd. in Carmel.

Dr. Katherine Schuetz relocation of Little Eyes and RevolutionEYES said the pediatric eye care office moved because it was running out of room at its previous location, 726 Adams St. in Carmel.

“Our patient base has continued to grow and Schuetz grow, so we needed more space to accommodate the families whom we are fortunate to care for,” Schuetz said.

Schuetz said the new office has the same fun, bright colors of the former space, but in different ways. Every room in the office is color-themed, and the office features a Pac-Man game in the kid-friendly waiting area.

Little Eyes opened in August 2013 after optometrist Jeremy Ciano of Carmel-based RevolutionEYES discovered his 4-year-old son wanted an eye care experience with chairs and equipment just for kids.

“Pediatric specialists have developed techniques to get the most information from our young patients in a really fun way,” Schuetz said.

Little Eyes is the only primary care pediatric eye care office in Indiana. It provides preventative eye care, exams, children’s eye glasses, parent education, treatment and office space geared toward making children feel comfortable while still obtaining a thorough eye exam that surpasses school screenings and pediatric visits.

“We have dedicated ourselves to educating parents that all children need preventative eye care, just as kids need well checks at the pediatrician and dentist,” Schuetz said.

Fuelicious: Cars, food and granting kids’ wishes

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com On Aug. 25, Lucas Estate in Carmel will host the third annual “Fuelicious: A Celebration of Wheels and fundraiser Wishes,” a benefit for the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. Proceeds will help the nonprofit grant wishes, such as shopping sprees and trips to Disney, of children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.

A partnership with the producers of the Aug. 26 “Artomobilia” event in the Carmel Arts & Design District, “Fuelicious” provides guests a smorgasbord of collector cars, heavy hors d’oeuvres and ultra-premium spirits in the elegant luxury of Lucas Estate, 1143 W. 116th St., Carmel.

More importantly, the upscale event benefits children who are battling life-and-death illnesses. Event chair John Leonard said the long-term goal is to make “Fuelicious” a chief fundraiser for the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund.

“While we don’t talk about specific amounts raised, we seek to contribute increasing amounts each year,” Leonard said. “(We) hope to be one of the Indiana Children’s Wish Funds top-producing events within the next three years.”

Between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., “Fuelicious”

They can also enjoy heavy hors d’oevres and desserts fashioned by chef Anthony Puma and partake in an open bar featuring Patron Spirits and mixed drinks.

A live photo shoot by acclaimed photographer Anthony Tyler Ross will highlight the evening.

“We want to continue to focus on a highquality, high-touch event featuring a premium automotive lifestyle experience, all in support of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund,” Leonard said. “We continue to feature an

increasingly unique group of collector cars and will focus on expanding the involvement of community and business leaders in our organization.”

To reserve a table, purchase an individual ticket or become a sponsor, visit Fuelicious. com or indywish.org or call Indiana Children’s Wish Fund at 317-913-9474. Tables for 10 are $2,500. Individual tickets are $300. “’Fuelicious’ continues to be a unique and clever event,” Leonard said. “A number of the cars will be paired this year with new models (and) their classic counterpart, enabling guests to see the heritage and design over a 25- to 50-year period. Likewise, we’ll feature a collection of the most interesting and noteworthy Chevrolet Camaros and highlight a small number of cars from custom carbuilding legend Troy Trapanier of Rad Rods

by Troy.”

Jazz on the Monon – The next free musical event, Jazz on the Monon, will be from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 5 on the Depot lawn, at the southwest corner of the Monon and 1st Street Southwest in Carmel.

Dance Kaleidoscope presents tribute to Edith Piaf

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dance Kaleidoscope’s summer show will transport the audience to France.

“It’s like traveling back in time to this ideal event Paris cafe,” said Paul Hansen, the contemporary dance company’s marketing director. “It’s a great way to feel you’ve had a little bit of international travel for a couple of hours while having a stay-cation.”

Dance Kaleidoscope will present PIAF Plus at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The performances will be at 8 p.m. Aug. 5 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 6.

“It’s one of my personal favorites. It’s all French music,” Hansen said.

The first act is “Frère Jacques,” with the music of Jacques Brel.

“He was this nightclub composer, so all these songs are gritty,” Hansen said. “It’s gritty, clever and inspiring. David

DK dancers will transport the audience to a café in Paris during the upcoming performance at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Hochoy, the company’s choreographer and artistic director, does such a good job matching the wit and gives the dancers these beautiful and athletic things to do. They match the

songs so well. It feels like Paris in the 1950s or ‘60s with the costumes they wear. It’s gorgeous and uplifting and carries you into intermission. Act 2 is phenomenal because it’s all music from Edith Piaf.”

Piaf was a French cabaret singer, who died in 1963 at age 47. She was known as “The Little Sparrow.”

“You don’t have to understand the words of her songs to feel the passion in her singing,” Hansen said. “The dancers certainly embody the passion of her music. You can see her music live through our dancers.”

Hansen said Hochoy has cast many of the company’s younger dancers in solo and prime spots.

“It gives them the opportunity to experience performing lead roles and grow their technique and show what they are made of, so that’s great for the dancers,” Hansen said. “It’s great for David to see what these dancers can do, and it’s fantastic for audiences.”

Will Wood is a long-time Cole Porter admirer.

That’s why he wanted to theater bring Porter’s “You Never Know” to the stage.

“It’s very lesser-known,” Wood said. “I’ve only talked to two people in the theater circuit who have ever heard of it before. I know two people who have written papers in college on Cole Porter and they had never heard of it. It’s a cute show.”

Wood is the founding artistic director of The Cat Theatre, which moved into the Carmel spot formerly occupied by The Warehouse earlier this year. The Cat also is an acronym for Wood’s Carmel Apprentice Theatre.

“You Never Know” will be performed at The Cat, 254 1st Ave. SW, from Aug. 3 to 13.

There will be eight performances of the two-hour musical.

The play, which ran for 78 performances on Broadway in 1938, features two of Porter’s most famous songs, “Let’s Misbehave” and “At Long Last Love.”

The six-person show features a husband and wife in Vince and Perry Accetturo, from Carmel, and sisters Brooke and Brittany

From left, Vince Accetturo, Brittany Bucher and Darrin Gowan rehearse for “You Never Know.”

Bucher, from Cicero. The other performers are Indianapolis residents Darrin Gowan and Leroy Delph.

“I’ve done these old shows and I’m always surprised the people that want to come out just out of curiosity,” Wood said.

“A lot of directors want to do the famous old shows, which are always good, or the current hit shows, which are usually good.”

Wood joked that maybe he’s afraid of being compared to the big wigs.

“Maybe I want to do something nobody knows and it will be the best version of that show they’ve ever seen,” Wood said with a laugh.

CCP presents ‘Driving Miss Daisy’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Larry Adams and his mother, Jean, have been in several productions together. But they will achieve a first in theater “Driving Miss Daisy.”

For the first time, art will imitate life as they play mother and son in Carmel Community Players production set Aug. 11 through Aug. 27 at Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace, Blvd., Suite 140, Carmel.

“He’s been my son-in-law and he’s been a villain,” Jean said.

Larry chimed in, “I’ve tried to kill her in a couple of shows,” he said.

Jean started acting in 1986, and her son started two years later.

“I hadn’t done anything until I saw her doing community theater,” Larry said. “It looked like a lot of fun, so I started doing it.”

Jean, an Indianapolis resident, plays Daisy. Larry, who lives near Pittsboro, plays Boolie.

“I wouldn’t quite talk to him the way that Daisy talks to Boolie,” Jean said.

Jean said there are few roles for her as she gets older.

“Playwrights like old men, they don’t like old women,” Jean said.

Bradley Lowe, Indianapolis, plays Hoke, Daisy’s middle-aged African-American chauffeur. Daisy is a wealthy Jewish woman in Atlanta. The play starts in 1948 and examines how their relationship evolves over 25 years.

The biggest challenge Lowe, 29, said he faces is honing into portraying an older character.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen transformation in Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a highly functional, stylish kitchen the family could enjoy for many years to come.

1. The biggest obstacle was the load-bearing column placement. By adding a new beam, the kitchen was able to be reconfigured and the island straightened out to provide efficient space.

2. New semi-custom cabinets were designed and installed, with a light, neutral paint on the perimeter and a contrasting navy paint finish for the island. The glass accent cabinets contained curved mullions to mimic the arched doorways.

3. The quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance material option, and the backsplash tiles complement the warm flooring and navy blue island.

4. New decorative glass pendants, under cabinet lighting, and wood flooring provide refined touches of warmth and detail.

Before Background Info: The layout of this kitchen in the Cambridge neighborhood on Geist Reservoir was limited. Cooking was a challenge for the family. The subdued material palette also needed to be freshened up to bring life into this dated kitchen.

After

Before problems: The kitchen included the original outdated wedge-shaped island, oak cabinets and tile flooring with wide grout lines. The two columns on the island seemed to visually close off this open space to the adjacent dining and hearth rooms.

Good grammar: Life of the party Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

The Wilderness of Zin in Israel’s Negev. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Moses and the Wilderness Rock Commentary by Don Knebel

provides an explanation for God’s punishment. The Wilderness of Zin includes steep walls comprising porous rock capable of absorbing water, which remains sealed in the rock by a limestone crust that forms over time. Seepage from cracks in the crust allows plants to grow in the rocky area.

Bedouins who have lived in the Wilderness of Zin have long known that if they strike the rock and shatter the crust, trapped water will flow. Moses’ sin was apparently using a desert trick when God had asked him to accept a miracle.

The southern half of modern Israel is an arid area known today as the Negev. The Negev includes the Wilderness travel of Zin, a desolate and rocky region that sheds light on the well-known story of Moses obtaining water from a rock.

According to the Bible, the Wilderness of Zin formed the southern boundary of the land that God had promised to the Israelites as Moses led them out of Egypt. Before God allowed the Israelites to enter their Promised Land, they spent about 40 years Don Knebel is a local resident wandering in the wilderness, much of the who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Grammar: it’s everywhere. And as soon as someone identifies himself as an expert, you can algrammar guy most always safely assume he’s going to judge you anytime you end a sentence with a preposition.

I’m no grammar czar; I’m only here to help improve your grammar and make your life more awesome.

Good grammar is wonderful because it opens doors—to job interviews, romantic relationships and even elegant parties where people drink wine from bottles (I always thought it only came in boxes). By improving your grammar, your Facebook friends will rightly assume you’ve started wearing a gold-rimmed monocle while playing polo on your yacht. Fancy!

Let’s begin with your family—yeah, we’re going there. Specifically, when you want to sign your family’s collective name on a holiday card. How do you write it? Is it The Millers or The Miller’s?

Everyone likes a good party and apostrophes are like sentence confetti, adding a fun flair to your scintillating syntax. But a

misplaced apostrophe is like confetti at a funeral—inappropriate and impossible to undo.

To make your last name plural, never add an apostrophe. Just don’t do it. The Millers went to the concert is correct.

Adding an apostrophe to your last name makes it possessive: Did you see the Millers’ cool new van?

If your last name ends with s, z, x, ch or sh, simply add es to make it plural: Season’s Greetings from The Foxes. If your last name ends in any other letter (including y), simply add an s.

So, if you’re considering adding your family’s name on the back of your luxury yacht, write The Millers. Adding an apostrophe will simply get you uninvited from those swanky boat parties, leaving you to drink your boxed wine alone.
