Carmel Drive, Range Line intersection to close Aug. 15

By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel will begin construction on a new roundabout at Carmel Drive and Range Line Road Aug. 15. The former Arby’s transportation at the intersection has been closed and will be demolished to make way for the project.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has long targeted this intersection to be transformed into a roundabout. He said he thinks traffic congestion could cause people to avoid the area.

“There are studies that roundabouts actually improve economic activity in an area,” Brainard said.

The intersection is controlled by traffic signals and is described by Brainard as “one of the most congested intersections in Carmel.”

“Actually, 96th and Keystone is probably number one, but this might be second,” he said.

The federally funded project involves utility relocation work, a new roundabout, curbs and sidewalks. The intersection of Carmel Drive and Range Line Road will be closed beginning Aug. 15 until approximately Nov. 19. Access to local businesses in the area will remain open throughout the duration of the project.

City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said the current projected construction cost was estimated at $2.3 million, but that was before bids went out, scheduled for Aug. 10. That number, which includes the construction cost for the water main as well, was provided when the city applied for grants for the project. The City of Carmel also paid roughly $2.5 million for the land where Arby’s was located.

The intersection, which handles approximately 20,000 vehicles per day, qualified for a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Grant that will cover $1.27 million of the project cost. The city’s portion of the construction cost will be funded through the recent bond issue.

Improvements begin along 126th St.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Last week, the City of Carmel began road improvements on 126th Street between Range Line Road and Keystone Parkway, leading to some cloINFRASTRUCTURE sures and traffic slowdowns.

The end result will be a new median that creates a two-lane boulevard on 126th Street.

Construction is expected to continue until spring 2017.

The project will include adding multi-use paths and improvements to storm water drainage along 126th Street.

On Aug. 1, the city began tree-clearing and erosion-control measures. At some point, traffic will only be maintained westbound for the remainder of the project.

Utilities will be relocated underground and eight-foot multi-use paths will be installed on both the north and south sides of 126th Street. Along the way, curbs, gutters and storm water pipes will be installed.

In January, the Carmel City Council voted to remove a long-debated stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Drive.

Proponents of the stop sign argued that traffic was too fast on this road and affected pedestrian safety. Plus, residents had difficulty turning onto the road, they said.

The stop sign was removed when three councilors who voted to keep the stop sign lost their bids for re-election and were replaced by councilors who supported its removal.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said high speeds could be a concern, but several improvements would take place to improve safety. Brainard opposed widening the road, which was suggested by some, because it can be costly and would require buying up nearby residents’ yards and/ or eliminating multi-use paths. The city will instead put a center median on the road, which will prevent unsafe turns, head-on collisions and also reduce speed by narrowing the road.

According to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, center medians also reduce pedestrian crashes by 46 percent because pedestrians have a safer way to cross the road.

Brainard also has said some roundabouts in the works will slow motorist speeds. One key roundabout will be at 126th Street and Kinzer Avenue, and that roundabout will be shifted to the south from the center line. This roundabout will have a stub street heading south for an anticipated future connection to Carmel Drive.

For the 126th Street project, motorists are advised to use detours on Main Street and 116th Street for eastbound traffic. Keystone Parkway and Guilford Avenue will be the connectors to get vehicles to either eastbound detour route.

Olympic watch party planned for District

National Night out

The City of Carmel announced it will place a Jumbotron screen along the Monon Trail between Scotty’s Brewhouse and Bub’s Burgers for people to gather and downtown watch the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. “The idea is to draw people in the district,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

Cheer on the Champions in the District will begin with the opening ceremonies and continue from 10 a.m. to midnight during every day of coverage. The screen may occasionally be shut down at times to prevent overheating, Brainard said.

People can pack a lunch or enjoy carryout from local restaurants in the Carmel Arts & Design District. The event is free and some chairs will be provided, but attendees can bring their own.

Steele Johnson, the first person from Carmel to make an Olympic team, will compete in diving events at this year’s games. Carmel resident Rajeev Ram will compete in tennis. He is the first Carmel High School graduate to participate in the Olympics.

The idea came after a successful viewing party for the women’s World Cup in the grassy lot across from Bub’s Burgers. That space is booked for a few events during the Olympics.

Storyteller teaches Chinese

By Lauren Boughner news@currentincarmel.com

When Echo Wu moved to Carmel with her husband in 2014, she reached out to see if she could do Chinese stoeducation rytelling for children at the Carmel Clay Public Library.

Now, it’s become a regular part of her volunteering work there.

Wu said she particularly enjoys doing crafts and reading stories with children age 3 to 6.

“They can see, ‘Wow! This is how another part of the world does things!’” Wu said.

Last year at the library, she celebrated the Chinese New Year through storytelling, and recently she read for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Since moving to the United States in 2006, Wu has been passionate about teaching Chinese, from Long Island to Carmel. She first became interested when she discovered a Chinese school at Auburn University, where she received her MBA. She also earned a teaching certificate during a 2013 visit to China, and she said that raised her confidence as a teacher.

Wu has two children, and she wants them to learn about their Chinese heritage.

“The hard part is to keep their native

language. Chinese should be their native language,” she said. “The identity is very important for the kids’ development.”

Both Chinese and non-Chinese students learn from Wu. “The main interest is to promote Chinese culture and Chinese language,” she said.

According to Wu, learning Chinese can help growing children’s cognitive development, as well as give kids a global mindset, understanding of other cultures and preparation for future careers.

Recent grad draws classic cars

By Lauren Boughner news@currentincarmel.com When Paul Kihn began drawing in middle school, he had no idea that just a few years later it would lead him to start his art own business, PK Fine Art. Kihn, 18, graduated from Heritage Christian School this spring and plans to study visual communications at Ball State this fall. In the meantime, he is working on building his new business.

Kihn “Senior year in high school, I took this class called AP Drawing, and after doing a lot of research and trying to learn off watching YouTube videos, which was pretty big in getting to the level that I am, I decided I could use this as a career pursuit,” Kihn said.

Kihn’s drawings, done with colored pencils and paint thinner, feature classic cars, another passion of his.

“I’ve always liked and admired cars versus drawing a landscape,” he said. “It was kind of inspired by my dad. He’s always liked Euro-

pean cars. That was kind of what I adapted from originally.”

Kihn’s drawings require dedication, as each one takes upwards of 30 hours. His most detailed drawing took 40 hours.

Yet, his efforts have been rewarded. He entered the Scholastic Art Awards in high school and has earned two Silver Key awards and one Gold Key award.

His goal for his artwork is to make his drawings on a larger scale, such as one that could take up an entire wall.

Ram becomes Carmel’s second Olympic athlete

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

At 32, Carmel’s Rajeev Ram is having a memorable season on the ATP Tour.

Ram reached career Achievement highs in singles (No. 56, April 18) and doubles (No. 22, Aug. 1), making the Wimbledon double semifinals and now finding himself in Rio de Janeiro as a member of the U.S. Olympic tennis team. Doubles team Bob and Mike Bryan announced July 30 they would skip the Olympics because of health concerns. The next day, the U.S. Tennis Association named Ram as a doubles replacement. Ram, who left for Rio Aug. 2, said health or security concerns weren’t going to keep him from the Olympics.

“These days you always have to be concerned about security,” Ram said. “I don’t know if there is a spot in the world where you can feel incredibly safe. I’m privileged to have this opportunity. I wasn’t going to pass it up. I feel like that kind of stuff can happen anywhere. I’ve worked hard for an opportunity like this.”

The doubles competition started Aug. 6.

Ram is playing doubles with Brian Baker.

Ram said he had set a goal of making the Olympic team in singles, but narrowly missed that.

“I feel I represent not only myself, my family, but the state of Indiana and American tennis,” Ram said. “It’s pretty special.”

Diver Steele Johnson became the first Carmel athlete to make an Olympic team in June.

Ram is the first Carmel High School graduate to make it.

“I’m definitely proud of that,” Ram said.

Vet inspires graduating teachers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch does everything she can to motivate teachers, because she knows how a special teacher inspired her.

Kickbusch gave the education commencement address for the Indianapolis-based American College of Education at the Palladium in Carmel July 30. ACE offers online master’s, doctorate and specialist programs, as well as a certificate program for educators and paths to new teacher licensure. “(ACE) has a special place in my heart because it’s about giving teachers those tools by which they can connect with the students,” said Kickbusch. “I’ve always said growing up as a daughter of (Mexican) immigrants that the most concrete form of democracy is education.”

Kickbusch, 61, who grew up in Laredo, Texas, and now lives in Las Vegas, retired after two decades in the military as the highest-ranking Hispanic woman in the Combat Support Field of the Army. She then founded Educational Achievement Services Inc., a human-development company, in 1996 to help

individuals of diverse backgrounds grow as leaders.

“One of our blessings is to bring that message of hope to a teacher’s mindset about serving all children and looking beyond a zip code,” Kickbusch said. “I had a teacher that did that, who looked beyond where I lived and my humble beginnings and looked beyond my limited English ability and actually saw me — a young child who wanted to learn and made a deep connection and changed the trajectory of my life.”

3 Carmel students in Rio to report

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

ART CLASSES BEGINNING AUGUST 17TH AGES 7 TO ADULT "I would recommend taking art class from the Magdalena Gallery. I joined for eight Saturday classes.

Magdalena not only was able to guide me as a beginning artist to better understand perspective and color, but also has a wonderful positive and encouraging teaching style."

Reilly Small had heard the concerns about Rio being a dangerous place.

Small was undeterred, and olympics she’s glad about it. She has not seen any problems since arriving in Rio on July 16 as part of Ball State at the Games. She is one of three students in the program from Carmel gathering behindthe-scenes multimedia content about the Olympic culture, Brazil, athletes and fans.

“There are military and policemen on every corner,” Small said. “I think that people shouldn’t let the scare of safety stop them from experiencing such an amazing place. As for Zika, I am not concerned at all. The chance of getting it is very small and I am only 19 and not looking at having kids any time soon. I don’t think the scare applies to me, but ask my mom, and she will tell you otherwise.”

Small, a 2015 University High School graduate and sophomore public relations major, is working on social media aspects of culture for Ball State at the Games, reporting on things that interest her, such as Brazilian coffee.

“The experience so far has been unreal,” Small said. “Since the second day here, I knew three weeks wouldn’t be enough.”

So, she worked with faculty to extend her stay until the end of the Olympics, which began Aug. 5.

“Not only am I learning a lot about the culture of Brazil, but I’m learning a lot that will help me in the future with my major and career,” Small said.

The other two students are Carmel High School graduates Vivien Pong, a senior Ball State telecommunications major, and Christian Schinbeckler, a video production major who is finishing up his final six credits to graduate this summer.

Schinbeckler, who left Aug. 2 and returns Aug. 19, will be doing reports from outside the venues.

He learned about the program as a freshman at an orientation about the group going to the 2012 London Olympics.

“My mom looked at me and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to be sent to the Olympics?’” Schinbeckler said. “I’m a true sports and adrenaline junkie, and my cousin actually was a player (Boston Bruins’ John-Michael Liles) on the USA Hockey team that went to the (2006 winter) Olympic Games in Italy.”

Schinbeckler said all his work in his four years at Ball State has been pointing toward this experience.

“It’s been a lifetime in the making as a sports fan and fan of video production,” Schinbeckler said.

From coaching gymnasts to selling homes, Robert Cowan finds success

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Robert Cowan is one of the top realtors at F.C. Tucker. He’s sold more than 1,500 homes in 22 years and is the most recent recipient of the company’s highest honor, cover story the Fred Tucker Sr. Award.

But his road to success followed an unlikely route. His real estate career in Carmel was launched by his past experience as the national men’s program director for USA Gymnastics, a role that took him around the world to coach and promote the sport.

“I was in charge – from the Olympic level all the way down to the age-group kids, even down to preschool – of program development. It was my job to grow the sport, grow the participation and the membership,” said Cowan, who lives on the Westfield/Carmel border. “I spent weeks and weeks and weeks of my life out in the field going to other places to conduct workshops and symposiums.”

Eventually, it was the travel and time commitment that led him to step down in 1993. His son was a rising soccer star, and he spent five weeks overseas for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, missing half of his son’s season. He began to think about a career change.

“I loved what I was doing, but I loved my family more,” Cowan said. “It was a hard decision.”

The next step

After stepping away from gymnastics, Cowan wasn’t sure what to do next. At first he scoffed when a friend suggested he go into sales – he said he “wasn’t a fan of salespeople” – but then he realized he might have what it takes to succeed.

“Coaching is sales,” Cowan said. “You’ve got to convince kids to believe in themselves and trust in you.”

He went through a real estate class in 1994 and went to work for F.C. Tucker in Carmel later that year. Jim Litten, owner and CEO of F.C. Tucker, said Cowan’s coaching background helped him develop the perfect skill set to succeed in his second career.

“To be successful in a coaching endeavor, you have to be a very disciplined, focused, driven person,” Litten said. “Those are the same skills Robert has brought to real estate.”

Now, Cowan considers his position at F.C. Tucker the best job he’s ever had because he enjoys getting to know and help local families. He’s been invited to clients’ weddings, even giving away a bride whose father had died.

“I’ve been blessed to become a part of these people’s lives and vice versa,” Cowan said.

Among the best

Cowan’s co-workers recognized his commitment to his clients and nominated him to receive the Fred Tucker Sr. Award, the company’s highest honor. He’s also a lifetime member of the F.C. Tucker President’s Club, which is reserved for F.C. Tucker’s most successful agents.

Litten said the honors are well-deserved.

“When he comes into the office he’s always got a smile on his face. He always goes out of his way to be kind to people,”

Litten said. “I’m sure that’s translated into the reason he’s had the success he’s had.”

Cowan has long been thankful for the support of his company, but his appreciation went to a new level in 2012 when he was diagnosed with lymphoma. He went through chemotherapy, radiation, a stem-cell transplant and an experimental drug before being declared cancer-free two years later – the exact same day his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

During that time, he said co-workers listed and sold houses for him, “not taking a penny of that.”

“Through all of that, my company has been a rock behind me,” Cowan said.

‘ a constant student’ Although he held a top position in the USA Gymnastics program, Robert Cowan said that he “wasn’t very good” as a gymnast. But he had the skills to help others succeed.

“I was a very, very good spotter, and I learned a lot about technique and coaching methods,” he said. “I was a constant student, always watching films, reading books, going to seminars.”

He found inspiration from Béla Károlyi, former coach for U.S. and Romanian Olympic gymnastics teams, who excelled at water polo, not gymnastics. Cowan said he and Károlyi have previously been roommates and are still good friends.

Cowan grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. He worked in the area as a teacher and gymnastics coach, ending his high school coaching career with a 300-18 record, 22 state championships, three national championships, four national champions and sending 67 students to college with scholarships.

Year-round school proposition

FROM THE backshop Nation’s veterans entitled to better One of us had a father-in-law that served our nation during World War II. He was a waist gunner on a B-17. While he sailed on to his next adventure last year, hackles are raised every time we hear about the Veterans Administration and its slapdash treatment of those, like “The General,” that served. Only one such instance of shoddy care involved The General, as far as we know, but it was enough to anger even the most patient person amongst all we know, his youngest daughter. She took him to the VA hospital in Indianapolis for a prescription refill, a simple enough task that took eight hours to get accomplished. Ire over that experience still is raised in her husband at just the thought of the two of them sitting there like numbers for most of a day. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke recently to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention. Like him or otherwise, he hit it out of the park with this: “Our debt to you is eternal.” So must be waiting for a prescription refill. Trump says he is committed to reforming the VA and making everyone in it accountable. He says he will appoint a secretary of veteran affairs and issue sweeping authority to undo the mess that it is. He said, and we’d like to believe him, that if he has to get involved he won’t hesitate to do so. We do agree with this comment: “Our most basic commitment – to provide health and medical care to those who fought for us – has been violated completely.” It needs to be fixed. Quickly.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

1984 by Orwell Commentary by Terry Anker The 67th anniversary of the publishing of George Orwell’s iconic book, “1984” was recently celebrated and reminded me of my first reading more than 35 years ago. Drawn to it because it corresponded with my high school graduation year, the one that I had been writing in steam on the school bus windows since an older child had told me that there was such a thing. If the tome was identified with this special number, then it must be of great consequence! Besides, on the prescribed middle school reading list, it was the shortest.

As I read the book, I found its dystopian perspective depressing. The language was confusing. And, a super-state leading perpetual war seemed entirely unrealistic.

Well, perspectives can change as we age and come to have a better understanding of the intentions underlying an author’s work.

Orwell once said, “Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one

that comes after it.” Like in so many things, he is probably right.

It is the nature of humankind to be conceited, obsessed with our own dazzling brilliance and dominion over both the past and future. And, it also is the nature of humankind to be wrong. Certainly, learning can be accumulated over the generations. However, there is no evidence to support the notion that individual intelligence is greater now than it was at any point in history. Our perspective may have shifted, but our ability to process what we see is likely not much different. Wisdom may actually flow as described. When we looked at our seniors, we were too young and ignorant to understand their wisdom. Likewise, our juniors are ill positioned to see ours. But, if we know of our folly, can we prevent it?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “The more we study, the more we discover our ignorance.”

– Percey Bysshe Shelley

I am so excited I might wet myself.

School is back! Yes, that glorious month of August has arrived, and I humor can finally lay my sad-excuse for a summer routine to rest.

See, one of my biggest challenges each June and July is keeping some semblance of normalcy at our house. I don’t know about your heirs, but mine need structure.

They need to have consistent bedtimes and wake times; they need scheduled meals; they need daily physical activity and social interaction. Otherwise, they become bored and bratty, even if they do manage to sneak in seven hours of Xbox. But it’s all much easier said than done, especially once school’s out.

To wit, I didn’t even develop a survival plan this summer. Strict eating and bed times, limited technology interaction, Amish Day? Those used to work when my kids were younger, but now that 75 percent of them are taller than me? Fuhgetaboudit.

Kitchen schedules, required reading and keeping track of Mario Kart is just too challenging. Plus, it’s my break, too. I don’t want to play warden the whole time. So, I often choose to ignore the pancake-batter mess at two in the afternoon or the fact that our oldest hasn’t left his room in 34 hours. Admittedly, I do occasionally feel like a terrible mom and wonder if my failure to set boundaries and enforce expectations will cause one of my precious little angels to end up in a clock-tower taking pop-shots at frolicking puppies. (And years later, when CNN lands the exclusive interview and asks why she did it, she’ll say, “Because my mom allowed too much freedom during summer.”)

The only solution I can come up with is year-round school. Then I’d only have to worry about July, which would be fairly simple if I throw in a family vacation, maybe a camp or two and a trip to Mamaw’s. Summer would become much more manageable and far less Xanax-worthy. Who’s with me?

No one? Fine. I’ll simply say this: Welcome back, school! My family (and small dogs everywhere) thank you for your return. Peace out.

Editor, I‘ve stopped being surprised at the weekly editorial. But this week’s “Hillary doesn’t care about women” made me laugh out loud. Many times, the columnists say they “don’t endorse candidates,” but readers know the paper is pro-Republican. I won’t waste time comparing this year’s Republican ticket to the Democratic one. But I must stress one point that I hope will resonate some with your team.

Pay attention to the five men alive who have served as our country’s president and

who actually know what the job entails. None of them support Trump. Wasn’t Bush your guy? Both Bushes? You wanted Romney, too.

And he’s against Trump! Have you watched any of the DNC convention this week to see the comparison?

Does that give you any pause to stop playing coy with an endorsement? Voters have two choices in November. Hillary or Trump.

You’re attacking Hillary, so why not really endorse who you want? Real papers do.

Mass transit task force picks should be scrutinized Editor, Why is the Mayor appointing business leaders to the task force? I believe the original plan for mass transit was that businesses would be taxed 10 percent of the cost, but businesses were not willing to contribute.

So, no taxes were placed on the businesses, which might see a benefit in mass transit. All

the tax burden has been placed on citizens, who very likely will never use the transit or get any benefit. Due to this, maybe average citizens should be represented on the task force? This seems like one more example of more taxes on many to benefit a few (businesses) who will not pay their share.

Carmel woman doesn’t let TPN slow her down

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com

Emma Tillman of Carmel posts photos of herself doing everyday tasks, like running and working, with the hashtag #tpnstrong to let others using TPN see that they can live a normal life. (Submitted photo)

As a child, Emma Tillman was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome.

It progressed, and in wellness 2011 she learned that her gastrointestinal system had stopped working normally, leaving her without the nutrition she needed. For the past five years, the Carmel resident has received the majority of her nutrients through an IV line in her chest, called total parenteral nutrition.

“This line can be used for several years,” Tillman said. “Each day, I infuse one bag using a small pump that I can carry in a backpack. I wear this backpack to work and infuse my nutrition while doing my daily activities.”

A clinical pharmacy specialist in the pediatric intensive care unit at Riley Hospital for Children, the 36-year-old started wondering what information a patient or parent of a child new to TPN would find online.

“I was greatly disappointed that all of the images that I found tagged were ‘sick’ pictures. For example, a woman in the

Now, anytime she posts a picture on social media, Tillman tags it with #tpnstrong to show those new to TPN they can live a full life and thrive. As part of Home Parenteral Nutrition Awareness Week Aug. 13-17, she and others with TPN are sharing their stories.

“I want people to realize that you can live a full life even with medical or nutritional challenges. I have had several obstacles to overcome in my life,” she said. “I hope by sharing my story I can encourage others that may still be in a bad/hopeless place with his or her illness they can get through it and thrive again.”

Cards Collected at Celebration Unlock Deals from Local Merchants

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Celebration of Bands is a perfect venue to spread the word about the new ArtsCards.

“All the musicians will get the ArtsCards themselves,” said Eric Baker, who is marketing the cards. “They can activate that card, get a number and they’re part of that network. They also can get all the benefits of the app on their phone as if they had activated an actual card.”

The ArtsCards offer artists a variety of discounts at local businesses and events.

The app will allow artists, including painters and graphic designers, for example, to network. The funding aspect finds local businesses who support the arts. The cards are free for the artists, who can promote their events. The cards cost $48 for businesses, which will receive a placard for their window and enable them to offer discounts through the ArtsCard system.

always needing to raise funds to keep the doors open,” Baker said. “On the flip side, there really is a desire among businesses to say that they do support the arts in the city (Indianapolis area). People want to think of their community as a community that really champions the arts and gets behind creativity and artistic expression.

But there is not always a great way to bring those two sides together.”

Baker said the card gives arts organizations a chance to raise not only funds but awareness.

“It’s a way for businesses to drive foot traffic among the arts community and supporters of the arts as well,” Baker said.

The ArtsCards cost $18 for fans of the arts, and more and more businesses are signing on to bring in more customers while helping the arts.

“In the fall, we are going to market this as fundraising opportunity for nonprofits,” said Baker, citing the possibilities for high school bands.

Baker said the website is set up to expand to other cities in the future. For more, visit artscards.com.

The following sponsors are offering deals in coordination with the ArtsCard during and around the Celebration of Bands:

Baker said his friend Jeff Goens, a saxophonist with the Indiana Wind Symphony, is the brains behind it. Baker, a Carmel resident, plays with four different bands.

Some Changes for 2016 More Time on the Monon & Main

The second Carmel Celebration of Bands will have a different look than the first. Organizers learned what a good spot the Main Street area in downtown Carmel was for attracting spectators to the free event.

So this year, there will be two nights of free, live music in the Main Street area across from Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream.

The performances will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Aug. 19 on Main Street.

On Aug. 20, performances will begin at 11 a.m. inside the Palladium and will continue to approximately 5 p.m. The Celebration of Bands will then conclude with a session beginning at 6 p.m. on Main Street.

Last year, some of the second day of performances was moved inside the Palladium due to the threat of rain. It was originally scheduled as a day-long outdoor concert in the space beside Palladium. But this year, weather will not be a problem, and musicians and music-lovers alike will get to take advantage of the Palladium’s excellent acoustics.

Founder Conrad ready for 2nd Celebration President Lincoln’s Own Band performed at President Obama’s inauguration.

Movie Paved Way for Lincoln’s Own

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com What started as a one-time gig, albeit a prestigious one, has turned into a fullfledged band.

Don Johnson was asked to choose the musicians for Stephen Spielberg’s 2012 movie “Lincoln.” When it was through, Johnson bought the uniforms from the movie and formed President Lincoln’s Own Band.

That band will play at The Carmel Celebration of Bands in Aug. 20 at 3 p.m. in the Palladium and again at 8 p.m. just off Main Street.

Johnson, 60, had played in some different Civil War bands for several years when he was contacted. The scene in the film was recorded in Petersburg, Va., in December 2011.

“We were there three days. If it rained again on our last day, we were going to be cut from the movie,” said Johnson, who also directs the Kentucky Baroque Trumpets band. “It was a beautiful day, but cold.”

The PLOB has been asked to play more events since, but has had to be selective.

“We’re kind of spread out in different states. Some are in Maryland, New

York, Virginia, so we don’t get together to rehearse much,” said Johnson, who lives in Raywick, Ky. “We’ll take a gig when it’s pretty high profile or they are going to take care of us pretty good.”

Johnson, who serves as PLOB’s artistic director and plays the E-flat cornet, said the band played a small role in the National Geographic Channel docudrama “Killing Lincoln.”

The band also played in Gettysburg, Pa., for Dedication Day when Spielberg was the speaker in 2012.

“The Associated Press took a picture of us and it went viral,” Johnson said.

“Someone put us up on Facebook. The Smithsonian saw that and wanted us for President Obama’s inauguration (in 2013). We played for two days at his festivities.”

They returned to Gettysburg for Dedication Day on the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address in 2013.

“They streamed our concert around the world,” Johnson said.

It was there that Sean Conant, who is doing a documentary called “The Gettysburg Address,” which is scheduled to be released this year, approached them. PLOB performed on the soundtrack, and the album has been released by Warner Brothers. Johnson said the albums will be available for sale at their Carmel shows.

mark@youarecurrent.com As a major force behind the Carmel Celebration of Bands, Indiana Wind Symphony founder and music director Charles Conrad learned one major thing from its debut in September 2015.

“I learned what a good location the downtown spot was,” Conrad said.

This year’s Celebration will have two nights in the Main Street area across from Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream. “We were pleasantly surprised by the Friday night concert crowd, so we decided to do Saturday night there, too,” Conrad said. “A lot of people got their lawn chairs (for the concert).”

At a high point, Conrad estimated a crowd of 1,000 watched the Friday night performance.

The IWS itself will perform twice (see schedule on back), giving a preview of its 2016-17 season.

Jessamyn Anderson, a 2011 Carmel High School graduate, will sing “I Could Have Danced All Night” at both performances with the IWS. The soprano has been working with Ohio Light Opera for the second consecutive summer. CHS senior Jake Letts will also perform “Music of the Night” from “Phantom of the Opera.” Conrad was struck by Letts’ performance as Jud Fry in the Tarkington Civic Theatre’s showing of “Oklahoma.” “I was so impressed with seeing him on stage and hearing him sing,” Conrad said.

Gramm to play healthy dose of Foreigner hits

Commentary by Amy Pauszek Where’s Amy loved attending the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s 2016 Summer Gala, titled ‘A Night at the Barre,’ which took place July 29 on stage at the beautiful Palmusic ladium in Carmel. The gala featured international guest artist and former American Ballet Theatre soloist and New York City Ballet dancer Anna Liceica along with Daniel Mantei, Rachel Richardson and Sean Stewart of the American Ballet Theatre. Gemma Bond of American Ballet Theatre choreographed the program, which included IBC students from around the United States, Canada and Austria.

The first act included classical numbers, such as scenes from “Sleeping Beauty,” and the second act followed with contemporary pieces and dynamite new works with original student choreography. Both acts were truly out of this world. This was the second IBC gala I have attended, and I was in heaven watching the special artists perform with IBC students. Trust me, these young IBC students know how to put the “P” in professional. For more, visit IndianaBalletConservatory.org.

Lou Gramm aims to be a crowd-pleaser.

Gramm, whose billing is The Original Voice of Foreigner, will play a heavy mix of Forevent eigner and some of his solo hits at District Brewfest, which runs from noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 20 outside of The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel. Indianapolis musician Sam Law will open for Gramm.

“That’s the life and breath of our Gramm shows,” Gramm said. “We obviously know people want to hear the Foreigner hits and the hits from our solo albums and honestly that can fill up a night.”

Gramm co-wrote most of Foreigner’s biggest hits with Mick Jones. Gramm left Foreigner for his solo career in 1990 but returned in 1992. He left again in 2003. This year marks the band’s 40th anniversary. Foreigner is still touring, but Jones often doesn’t perform because of health-related issues. Both Jones and Gramm talked about the possibility of reuniting this year to celebrate the anniversary.

“There were talks about it, but they never reached fruition,” Gramm said. “I guess we’re going to let it pass quietly. It’s certainly a good milestone in someone’s career to have 40 years from our first album, which was a pretty good hit for us. It is definitely something to celebrate, but I think people’s schedules are a little too crazy.”

Two of Gramm’s favorites are “Jukebox Hero” and “Urgent.”

“I like playing all of them, but in an hour-and-a-half set, those two songs particularly stick out to me,” Gramm said.

Gramm, 66, moved back to his hometown of Rochester, N.Y. 12 years ago.

“The whole band is really from Rochester,” Gramm said.

“They’re great guys and good people to hang out with — no bad habits. We go out and have a lot of fun.”

Gramm and his band mostly play weekend dates.

“It’s civilized and you can have a normal life through the week,” Gramm said.

The general admission ticket, including beer samples, is $55. Wine, designated driver and VIP tickets also are on sale. Twenty percent of the proceeds from District Brewfest will benefit Chaucie’s Place, a Hamilton County child advocacy organization. For more, visit districtbrewfest.com.

Rock the Lot returns this week

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Jack Black won’t make an appearance, but the students will still be ready to rock. School of Rock will host its fourth annual Rock the Lot outdoor concert in conjunction with the group’s first-ever Battle of the show Bands competition.

“It’s really difficult for student musicians to find venues to play in,” said Elyse Causey, general manager at School of Rock Fishers. “We wanted to give them an outlet to really show off some of the talent.”

School of Rock is a performance-based music lesson program for people of all ages.

Students have one solo session each week, as well as a group rehearsal, all in preparation for a preview show and three final performances. Causey said giving students something to work toward is part of the draw of the program.

“It gets the kids engaged right away in actually getting to use what they’re learning and getting to show it off on stage,” she said.

The free weekend event starts with Battle of the Bands from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 12 followed

by Rock the Lot from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 13.

Both events will be in the parking lot beside

the School of Rock Carmel, 626 S. Range Line Rd. School of Rock also will host Rock the Lot from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Fishers location.

Battle of the Bands will feature 10 18-andunder bands with some School of Rock students, as well as other indie groups. The winner will win recording time at Azmyth Recording Studio in Indianapolis along with other prizes.

On Saturday, all School of Rock students will perform at the Rock the Lot concert, which serves as a preview show. Each performance will have a different theme.

‘Karaoke’ singers to perform

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Frank Smith calls himself and the singers of the Karaoke Ninja Outlaw Warriors a bunch of show-offs. music “We are a bunch of show-offs, and we love to sing,” the 44-yearold Indianapolis resident said. “I wanted to bring K.N.O to a place where it’s not inside, like an actual concert feel.”

K.N.O Warriors will perform from 6 to 10 p.m.

Aug. 12 at the Center Green, between the Tarkington and the Palladium.

“It’s the first of its kind in Carmel that I’m aware of,” Smith said of the concert. “Back in 2014, I did a show on Monument Circle to see if I could pull something like this off. I needed a better venue with better parking and to get more people out in front of karaoke to see it for what it is. It is definitely entertainment, but a lot of people think it’s sad, country love songs and bad singing, but the people singing in this concert are some of the best in the state.”

Although the members of K.N.O Warriors will perform for the public, there is a chance for audience members to sing karaoke, as well.

From 6 to 8 p.m., the public has the oppor-

tunity to perform. From 8 to 10 p.m., Smith and his performers will sing.

“I’m bringing all the equipment, all (the public has) to do is perform,” he said. “(The public) is getting a free concert with some locals, and it’s going to sound amazing.”

Smith hired his own clean-up crew for the event, and those in attendance are welcome to bring chairs and coolers. Alcohol is not permitted.

Smith plans to make this an annual event.

He began competing in karaoke contests in 2004, and he was deemed state champion karaoke singer in 2007 and 2008. K.N.O Warriors was created in 2012

Your weekly serving of Just the Ticket

pistachio cake Commentary by Beth Aasen Co-owner of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel This is a special recipe I’ve somewhat come up with myself after years of tweaking other recipes. I’m entering it in the Indiana State Fair this year. Previously, I won first place for overall double layer cake at the fair for my lemon cake. The pistachio cake has become one of our most popular desserts at the restaurant, and people ask me to make them entire cakes sometimes. Every once in a while I can, but I’ve had to tell some people I couldn’t because it’s hard to keep up with the baking for everyone and running a business as well.

Ingredients: • 1 1/2 sticks butter • 2 /12 cups cake flour • 1 table spoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup sugar • 2 table spoon almond extract • 3 cups buttermilk • 4 whole eggs • 1 egg yolk • 2 1/2 packets (3.4 oz.) of instant pistachio pudding mix • 4 ounces 7-Up Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put 2 1/2 packs of pudding mix in medium bowl. Add 7-Up until covered. Set aside.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt and set side. Grease and flour three spring pans, preferably 9-inch round pans. Use a mixer and beat together the butter, sugar and pudding mixture. Add eggs to the mixer and lightly mix on a slower speed. With mixer on low, slowly add 1/2 of the flour mix (flour, baking powder and salt) and then 1/2 of your buttermilk. Then go back and forth, mixing in the flour mix and the buttermilk until it’s all mixed. When it’s ready, pour it equally into each of three pans.

Bake 12 minutes.

Icing ingredients: • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar • 3 sticks butter, softened • 4 ounces of 7-Up • 2 1/2 packs (3.5 oz.) of instant pistachio pudding mix • 1 tablespoon almond extract Directions: Pour pudding mix into a shallow bowl. Pour 7-Up on top until covered. Stir and stir. Set aside for at least a half hour. Mix in butter to the bowl and then slowly add the powdered sugar and extract. Preferably use a standup mixer on a low speed.

Cake assembling directions: Once the three cakes have cooled, slowly remove them from the pans, and then you’re going to use your icing between the layers to create a triple layer cake. Be sure to smooth out the outside and let the cake sit for a few hours in a refrigerator before cutting the cake. You can chop up some pistachio nuts and put it on the icing if you’d like.

Behind Bars: Hendrick’s Mule Get it at Ted’s Montana Grill Ingredients: Copper Mug, Wooden Stir Stick, 1.5 oz.

Hendrick’s Gin, 1 oz. Lime Juice, 3 oz. Ginger Beer, 1 dash Angostura Bitters, Lime Wedge, Mint Sprig Directions: Fill copper mug with crushed ice. Add all ingredients into copper mug. Stir gently with twisty spoon to incorporate all ingredients. Top off drink with crushed ice if needed. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the Copper Mug, and float a mint sprig on the top of the drink. Serve with a 4.5” wooden stir stick.

Scavenger hunts continue

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com It began a few years ago on Valentine’s Day, when Stephanie Marshall, event planner and merchant liaison gallery walk for the City of Carmel, thought it would be neat to implement a scavenger hunt into the Second Saturday Gallery Walk through downtown Carmel.

She’s done it every month since.

“If there’s a couple talking about what they want to do on a Saturday night, and one says, ‘let’s go to the gallery walk,’ but the other says ‘oh, we did that last month,’ I want to make it new each month,” she said. “I like new things and new ideas, so it’s always fresh and they want to come back.”

Scavenger hunt keys are available at Artsplash Gallery, 111 W. Main St., and one side of the key yields an assorted photo while the opposite side yields addresses. “(There is) merchandise or a painting they find in a gallery or business on one side, and the opposite side of the sheet has addresses.

They match up pictures with the address so they get to know the businesses in the district,” Marshall said.

Marshall gives out small prizes for complet-

ing a hunt such as charms for a charm bracelet or popcorn. But specific keys are marked, and seven to eight scavenger hunt participants earn a larger prize, such as Darren’s Ballroom dance lessons, artwork or Carmel Symphony tickets.

“It’s really fun, I’ve been surprised. Many families do it, we have couples on their first blind date, we have anniversaries, all sorts of stuff. It’s been fun because it’s all ages,” she said.

The next gallery walk is 5 to 9 p.m. Aug. 13.

Matt the Miller’s to expand

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On Aug. 1, Langton’s Pub and Grille, 710 S. Range Line Rd., which offered Irish and American fare, closed. The space is growth immediately adjacent to Matt the Miller’s Tavern, the Irish pub’s brother restaurant, and it will be used for Matt the Miller’s to expand.

Within the next 30 days, renovations to the Langton’s building will be done to connect it to Matt the Miller’s. The new space will seat approximately 70 guests, and it will be used primarily for large groups and private parties. The new space will feature a full catering menu in addition to the normal Matt the Miller’s menu.

“The decision was made from the lack of sales performance for Langton’s,” said Rob Hoersdig, director of operations for CLB Restaurants. “We have had a great run with Matt the Miller’s since we have been in Carmel, and we know that brand is very strong here. We have great financial success in it. We have had to turn away parties of 40 and more since opening, so we know there’s an opportunity to do that.”

Alongside the party space, Matt the Miller’s will launch Matt’s Wine Bar, to be located on

the second floor of the building previously occupied by Langton’s. The wine bar will feature the Enoline Wine System, providing 2-, 4- and 6-ounce pours of wine not typically available by the glass.

“We certainly hope to have that finished in time for the holiday season. We like to think we will wrap this up late October,” Hoersdig said. “This is more of a renovation and not construction. The only level of construction is to open up the wall connecting the two spaces, which connects very naturallyt.

The biggest challenge for Carmel Community Players presenting “Next to Normal” is the way the musical is theater constructed.

“Ninety-five percent of the show is sung and five percent is spoken,” said Carlo Nepomuceno, a Carmel resident who is directing the musical. “It’s basically all music.”

The CCP is now in its run of “Next to Normal,” on stage until Aug. 21 at the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace, at 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd, Carmel.

The rock musical, which opened on Broadway in 2009, won three Tony Awards, including one for Best Original Score. It also became the eighth musical to win a Pulitzer.

There is a live band accompanying the rock musical show, directed by Levi Burke. The play and lyrics were written by Brian Yorkey, with the music by Tom Kitt.

The musical is about a suburban household dealing with mental illness.

“The mother struggles with bipolar disorder and hallucinations,” Nepomuceno said.

Georgeanna Teipen plays the role of the mother Diana.

Legacy Travel Club’s launch party set for Aug. 11

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Legacy Travel Club is taking the next step to launching. startups “We are building our membership base right now,” said Chris Allen, who owns the startup with his wife, Sandy. “Our target for the first year is 9,000 members. We are well on our way there.

That's our target, but we’ll have our trips going well before we get to our target.”

Allen, a Carmel resident, said the schedule of direct flights should begin in early 2017.

There is a launch party for members or interested members at the Columbia Club, 121 Monument Circle, Indianapolis, from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 11. There will be complimentary hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. There will be a handful of trips in 2016 that will be announced at the launch party for those interested in joining the travel program. Allen and his wife were both employees of ATA Airlines, which provided travel from Indianapolis from 1973 to 2008.

“We plan to go to all the destinations that were popular with ATA,” Allen said.

Among the planned destinations will be five locations in Florida, Las Vegas, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada.

Memberships are $199 for families and $149 for single people. Every year after that is $99 to renew membership. ATA operated Ambas-

All 168 seats were sold for the inaugural day trip to Mackinac Island in Michigan in June.

“That was very good,” Allen said. “We loved it.”

Allen, 45, worked in the logistics department for ATA while Sandy worked in marketing at Ambassadair.

“When we are up and running at 100 percent, we will have two chartered 737 aircrafts,” Allen said.

Allen’s grandfather, James R. Allen, and father, R. Bruce Allen, were private pilots from Louisville.

Gerry Dick, host of Inside Indiana Business on WFYI, talked to the Carmel Rotary Club July 29 about what he’s hearing from rotary Hoosier business leaders.

And the name of the game is attracting talent to the state.

“It’s all a talent play,” he said. “Every city is trying to attract talent.”

Dick said industries such as life sciences tell him they would be unable to fill all of their job openings with in-state graduates, so it becomes a necessity to reach out of state.

“It’s all about keeping talent at home but attracting people here as well,” he said.

Dick said companies are finding their employees – often millennials – are picky about where they want to live.

“We’re really starting to see places put an emphasis on things like bike paths, downtown living, parks and other aspects of quality of life,” he said. “Today, so many examples of young people who pick where they want to live, and they are attracted to the community and then they find a job there. It’s become a big, competitive force in economic development.”

Dick said that’s why so many companies are pointing to mass transit as a need for the region.

“I will just tell you what we hear and we

see when we talk to companies,” he said.

“When you talk to companies like Eli Lilly, they’ll tell you from top to bottom that mass transit is an important piece for Central Indiana if we’re going to continue to attract people here, especially millennials that don’t necessarily want to own a vehicle. Yes, it is about attracting a younger workforce who (is) going to places where they want to live, work and play. They want to bike to work, walk to work and take mass transit to work. I never would have thought that, but that’s the thought process of young people.”

Across central Indiana, low inventory remains a large factor in the real estate market.

Compared to last year at real estate this time, active listings have declined almost 19 percent. Fortunately, this has not deterred buyers too much, as pended home sales rose 4.8 percent and average home prices have grown 2 percent year-to-date.

In June, Hamilton County’s active listings were down 10.5 percent, while pended sales have grown 2.2 percent year-to date and 2.9 percent month-to-date. The average sales price also rose 2.1 percent compared to last year, now at $281,521.

• In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sale price increased 1.1 percent to $354,597.

• Inventory moved at a faster pace in Carmel in June 2016. Overall, homes sold in 59 days – eight fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Carmel had fewer options avail-

able to them. Last month, 556 homes were available for sale – 58 fewer homes compared to June 2015.

• Pended home sales have grown in Carmel. In June 2016, 152 homes sold – an increase of nine homes compared to June 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 21 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 50 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 60 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 17 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced below $99,999.

During this time of low inventory, demand for available homes has picked up. June has been an incredibly busy time for buyers eager to move and sellers taking advantage of rising prices.

In January, Allied Solutions, a Carmelbased provider and distributor of insurance, lending and marketing products to financial institutions across the country, announced a major expansion and relocation of its corporate headquarters – a $32.9 million project that will include the construction of a new, five-story building in the rapidly developing Midtown area and a plan to more than double its size in Carmel, adding more than 600 jobs by 2025. In April, real estate firm F.C. Tucker Company announced it would relocate its Carmel headquarters to this building, signing a lease agreement with Old Town Development to occupy 15,000 square feet of the ground level of the new headquarters. The new office space will house all of the Carmel office’s operations as well as a new mortgage center. Currently, 150 real-estate associates work at the Carmel office, and the move to Midtown will allow F.C. Tucker to accommodate approximately 30 percent more associates than its current location. A groundbreaking ceremony was held July 28 at the corner of First Avenue SW and Third Street SW.

Kitchen island designs Commentary by David Decker Your kitchen island might be something you haven’t given much thought to. However, if you are considering indoor living a kitchen remodel, the island comes with many considerations. You should always begin with the complete kitchen in mind when designing your island. Consider the benefits and drawbacks your kitchen already offers and see how the island can complement those.

It helps to identify the purpose of your island first. Will it be used mostly for food prep or eating? If food prep is your priority, then consider installing a sink in the island and allow plenty of room for cutting boards and bowls.

You also might consider what appliances will need to be located in the island. If you will be prepping meals, a sink in your island with a dishwasher is a good idea. Additionally, a beverage fridge or trash compactor can sometimes be located in the island, too.

Storage is always important in kitchen design. Depending on how much storage you have in other parts of the kitchen, you might include storage drawers or shelving in your island. There is a long list of storage options

that can easily be incorporated into an island, such as utensil bins, cutting board, tray storage or recycling bins.

Though storage is important, knowing the size of your space is essential. You do not want an island that is too big and creates a cramped space, nor do you want one that is too small and looks awkward in your large kitchen. A three-foot wide island is usually standard, though some kitchens can only accommodate two feet. As far as length, some islands are as short as four feet, yet others, especially if they are accommodating appliances and storage, may reach up to 10 feet.

Islands are usually the focal point of any kitchen. Whether it’s meal preparation, entertaining or dinner prep, the kitchen island serves many purposes. It’s always wise to work with a professional designer to help you consider all the factors that create a cohesive, beautiful and functional island.

Create a summer, winter escape Commentary by Randy Sorrell The leafy magnolia gracefully weaves its way through the overhead pergola structure adding a sense of outdoor living historical relevance to this industrial modern-outdoor living space. The contrast is especially striking as peaks of the galvanized steel bench facade and dark mocha painted pergola columns compete with the bright lime green curtains.

Room addition The initial charge from the well-traveled homeowners was a sunroom or some sort of outdoor “room” that allowed for four seasons of enjoyment. As is often the case, enhanced privacy and improved shade rose to the top of the conversation during design stage.

Complex rooflines and a wall of windows discouraged the room addition and forced our creative juices to rocket inventive exterior solutions. As a result, a protected patio was born and structures built. A transition deck landing was constructed. Privacy panels were erected and plantings were installed.

A crushed stone patio with massive flagstone inserts behaves as the floor with a linear natural stone fire feature as a focal point.

Dark mocha painted pergola columns warm the space and serve to soften the crunchy stone patio and boulder accents. Lush plantings do the same, as the golf course views are framed.

Summer and winter The predominantly year-round space allows for comfortable summer outdoor entertaining in the respites of shade where cool breezes meander through. When the curtains are opened and the fire is raging, the frigid winter temps are forgotten. Coats are shed, glasses

clink and laughter invades the space.

I am reminded almost daily how incredible outdoor living spaces can dramatically impact how families live and entertain. This one is a favorite testament to that.

Southern façade of Doge’s Palace in Venice. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Missing portrait in Doge’s Palace Commentary by Don Knebel The Doge’s Palace on the Grand Canal recalls the era when Venice was a major maritime power, its thousands of ships travel reaching England and Egypt. One of the palace’s most notorious features remembers a celebrated execution.

The Republic of Venice, which arose in the seventh century, was led by a doge, elected for life by a council of leading Venetians. The extant Doge’s Palace, completed in the 15th century, occupies the site of earlier palaces destroyed by fires. The site lies just south of St. Mark’s Basilica, which the doges used as their chapel. The palace includes apartments for the doge and his family, administrative and judicial offices, and areas where the doge received visitors. Walls and ceilings of the palace are decorated with outstanding works of Italian art, much of it Christian.

The Great Council was a law-making body comprising adult males of important Venetian families. The chamber housing the Great Council was one of the largest rooms in Europe,

measuring 175 feet by 82 feet. A painting by Tintoretto showing scenes from the Final Judgment covers one entire wall, making it what is said to be the largest canvas painting in the world. Just below the elaborate gilded and painted ceiling of the Chamber are portraits of 75 of the first 76 doges, each identifying his greatest achievement. The space for the portrait of Marino Faliero, the 55th doge, contains only a painted black shroud. In 1355, Faliero was beheaded inside his palace and his body mutilated for attempting a coup against the Venetian aristocrats, allegedly to defend the honor of his crudely slandered wife.

The story of the portrait missing from the Doge’s Palace inspired Lord Byron to write a five-act tragedy chronicling Faliero’s demise.

The poem inspired a famous Delacroix painting and a Donizetti opera.

Dispatches Remove chocolate stains – Chocolate stains can be very difficult to remove, but this trick works almost every time.

Put one tablespoon of Dawn dishwashing soap in about 10 ounces of water. Mix well, then spray the stain until the fabric is soaked. Allow to sit for 10 or 15 minutes, then put a few more drops of the dishwashing liquid directly on the stain.

Wash as usual.

Clean shower doors – Conventional cleaners don’t dissolve stubborn soap buildup on shower doors. Spray the glass with cooking spray and leave for 30 minutes. The oil slides between the glass and the soap scum, making it easy to wash. Using a soapy sponge, wipe off the glass to remove the cooking spray and soap scum.
