Multiple sclerosis doesn’t stop Carmel woman

By Maddie Yerant • news@currentincarmel.com When Carmel resident Sydney Smith’s leg went numb her sophomore year of high school, like many Hoosiers, she achievement tried to blame her bad luck on the weather.

“I ignored the symptoms for about a month,” Smith said. “It was right after that big ice storm, so I was just like, ‘I slipped. I slipped and fell.

Something happened; that’s why my leg is going numb.’”

But urging from her parents and persistent symptoms persuaded Smith to visit Indiana Neuroscience that fateful March 20, 2012 – her father’s birthday – where she was told Indiana weather had nothing to do with what she was feeling. “(My doctor) came in on her lunch break and said, ‘Sydney, you have multiple sclerosis,’” Smith said. “‘This is our game plan.’”

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease targeting the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information from the brain to the rest of the body, sometimes leaving the patient disabled.

While her parents cried and fretted over the diagnosis, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Smith’s first concern was her education.

“My first question was, ‘When can I go back to school?’” Smith said.

Education has always been a priority for

Sydney Smith was a recipient of the 2015 Heritage Classic Scholarship from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. (Photo by Maddie Yerant)

Smith, a Ball State senior studying education and one of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s 2015 Heritage Classic Scholarship recipients.

According to Smith, the scholarship not only helps with the financial burden of juggling school with hospital bills, but also means something on a personal level.

“I thought my first grade teacher walked on water,” Smith said. “I still think she does. She completely inspired me to be a teacher. I’ve always said I wanted to be like her, and right before I graduated high school, I applied to a scholarship for teachers, and it asked, ‘Who is your inspiration?’ I wrote about her.”

Though Smith sent the essay to its inspira-

tion, she never expected to hear back from the teacher who sparked her passion.

But she did – and that’s where the story turns almost ironic, almost fateful.

Not long after she sent the letter, Smith’s mother was approached at Wal-Mart by the teacher herself.

“She had tears in her eyes, and she said, ‘Thank you so much,’” Smith said. “And she was diagnosed with MS in 2012, and she said she was going to have to stop teaching because of how her condition was. She said one day she was feeling really down, and she got my letter, and she said she cried and cried at her desk and that she finally felt like she made a difference in a student’s life.”

Knowing there are others out there in her situation has helped put her diagnosis in perspective even in the scarier moments, Smith said.

“My life isn’t over,” Smith said. “That was something that I thought – that my life was completely over.”

Overall, Smith said she hopes her positive outlook will help inspire those in her situation to realize their diagnosis is not the end of the road, no matter how discouraging.

“There’s so many people who talk about how terrible it is, and how they’re never going to be the same, and I think of it as a good thing,” Smith said. “I can improve my quality of life and I can improve other people’s quality of life by saying, ‘Look how I’m doing. You can do this, too.’”

Atapco office building begins transformation

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

City officials recently joined representatives from Atapco to officially kick off a $75 million project that will turn redevelopment an aging office center into a high-density mixed-use development between Carmel City Center and the Meridian Street office corridor.

“It’s a good project,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “It was one of our older office buildings, and it’s good to see that capital and that building being refurbished. It’s a very exciting design that should attract good tenants.”

The Baltimore-based developer held its

the existing walls. It will be the first Class A office development in Carmel since 2009 and will meet or exceed the new LEED v4 building standards, which means it’s very environmentally friendly.

The 35-acre mixed use development features 61,000 square feet of office space in a one-story building with 238 parking spaces. There also around 280 apartments in the works in 10 buildings. Residents will be able to enjoy amenities such as a fitness center, workout room, basketball court and a future retail center within walking distance.

The existing buildings were built in the 1980s and 1990s and Brainard said they were in need of the facelift that Atapco is providing.

County council puts brakes on $3 million training center

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council on Aug. 5 shot down plans to build a $3 million public safety training center, inpublic safety stead approving funds by a 4-0 vote to build only one part of the project.

The proposed plans call for a multi-story burn tower, 20-line weapons training and qualifications range and small building for classrooms, equipment and bathrooms on a 96-acre property on River Road in Noblesville.

The cost had been estimated at $3 million for phase one and municipalities had been asked to cover $40,000 annually in operating costs for the training center. Every city voted to approve its share of the funding.

A majority of the County Council expressed concerns about escalating costs for later phases of the project, which are estimated at more than $40 million. Councilor Fred Glynn said the cities only agreed to help with operating expenses, but not cover the capital costs of construction. He worried that voting for the initial $3 million would put the county

on the hook for a much bigger bill later.

As a result, a counterproposal was suggested. Councilmen Paul Ayers, Brad Beaver, Fred Glynn and Rick McKinney voted to fund $568,000 to build the fire tower, which was part of the project. This move angered some other councilors, causing them to walk out.

“Walking out of the room is nothing but political theatrics,” Glynn said.

Sean Sutton of the Carmel Firefighters Union was surprised by the vote and hopes that a compromise can be made. He said the county needs a training center as a matter of public safety and that it can be built with no tax increase, pointing to the county’s sizable reserve fund.

Carmel City Councilor Sue Finkam expressed disappointment with the vote.

“Public safety isn’t one of the areas where you skimp,” she said.

Glynn said there is hope for a compromise but that the other side wasn’t willing to negotiate. He said if they would have worked with the fire officials, he could have envisioned something like $2 million being appropriated, but that he would strongly oppose any ongoing blank check for construction.

Flood endangers historic home

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Hamilton and Marion counties saw the wettest July on record last month. As the storms persist, Carmel residents city news continue to express concerns about the city’s ability to handle massive flooding.

Hamilton County Emergency Management has given out more than 3,000 sandbags in July to deal with the flooding. But some residents say not enough is being done.

In a letter to Carmel city leaders, Derek Fakehany wrote about problems with his 100-year-old historic home in Old Town Carmel during the last 15 years. He said he’s replaced his water heater seven times, had his furnace rebuilt four times and invested more than $15,000 on waterproofing alone.

“We have also reached out to landscaping and drainage experts for assistance, and they have indicated that without anywhere to send the water they can’t help,” he stated. “One summed up our options quite clearly: Pray for dry weather and sell.”

He said his insurance premiums have skyrocketed 700 percent due to flooding, and he’s had to miss considerable time from work to deal with the aftermath of flooding. He is

pleading with Carmel City Engineer Jeremy Kashman to expedite action.

“We are at the point where the cost of regular flooding will force us to leave our home, and with no ability to sell it due to the constant flooding, end up in foreclosure,” Fakehany wrote in the letter.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the city is working on the issue through the new Storm Water District utility and he knows this summer has been worse than most.

“We’re having one of our wettest summers ever,” he said. “We had more rainfall in July than in recorded history in Carmel. There is going to be flooding. We will continue to work on problem areas. The city engineer has several projects and we will continue to work on them one at a time.”

Fire Station 44 rebuild begins

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

City officials gathered Aug. 5 for a groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction of Fire Station 44 on Carpublic safety mel’s east side.

When the original station was built in 1982, there were only two firefighters per shift. Now there are six and a growing trend is more female firefighters, which has created the need to build separate dorm areas in the new station.

The new station will cost $3.5 million and will be paid for through existing Clay Town-

ship funds and tax revenues without creating any additional taxes. Construction should be complete by July 2016.

Firefighters are currently working out of a nearby house, which has provided a unique way to be involved in the community while serving their duty. Station 43, at 106th Street and Keystone Avenue, is also under a remodel, and some firefighters have been temporarily relocated. Both stations are renting homes, but Joel Heavner, the department’s public information officer, said it won’t significantly impact response times.

these baby birds. Others have constructed makeshift ramps to help get them out.

“We’ve left a ramp in the reflecting pool but we want to make sure they don’t nest there,” Brainard said.

One Carmel resident, Ryan Twilla, expressed disappointment with the ducks being removed. He also expressed concerns about the ducklings being trapped in the pool with no way to exit.

“My son and I feed the ducks and geese a few times a week and it brings him so much joy,” he said in an email. “I don’t understand who wants to go to a park where all of the wildlife has been removed.”

Brainard said there are other places to feed the ducks.

“We have plenty of parks and ponds, and this area wasn’t meant to be a nature area,” he said.

The City of Carmel recently spent nearly half a million dollars to repair damage to the Veteran’s Memorial reflectcity news ing pool at City Center. It reopened to the public just before the Fourth of July, but now another problem is plaguing the public area: birds.

Naturally, the reflecting pool is a popular place for ducks and geese to congregate, and many residents love feeding the birds in the water. But the numbers of birds have become overwhelming, leading to large amount of bird waste covering the sidewalks each day.

“It’s a matter of disease,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “We’re cleaning these areas daily but it’s quite a lot.”

As a result, crews have been out to remove the birds, with the city spending nearly $24,000 so far to take care of the issue.

Brainard said they would not be euthanized or harmed but that relocation is necessary.

“We’re spending a lot of money on cleanup, so we’re trying to remove the ducks and geese humanely,” he said. “We are trying to encourage them to locate elsewhere.”

In addition, the baby ducks that go into the pool have a hard time getting out due to the steep drop. This leads some to drown and passersby to see dead ducklings floating in the water. Some residents have taken the extreme measure to jump into the water to save

A swarm of Carmel High School football players and coaches recently descended on two properties in giving back Noblesville.

Seven football coaches and 67 seniors and juniors dedicated a day to a Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County project July 23. They helped with landscaping, staining a fence, building drainage trenches and other needed improvements at two properties in downtown Noblesville.

“We’re trying to drive home the point that there are a lot of things that are bigger than us,” said John Hebert, CHS head football coach.

Senior linebacker Noah Burks, who has committed to play for Wisconsin in 2016, said even though it is hard work the players were having a good time together. Burks was working on building a deep trench around one house.

ty,” Burks said. “We all have final goal of making these persons’ lives better. Just knowing we’re going to do that is enough motivation for us.”

Junior Mark Stickford was moving logs, clearing up the property and helping to landscape.

“It’s better than practice because we’re helping out people,” Stickford said.

Miniature enthusiasts visit city

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A group of miniature enthusiasts recently descended on Carmel’s downtown.

The National Association diversion of Miniature Enthusiasts National Convention was at Indianapolis Marriott East from July 30 to Aug. 2. The purpose of the convention, also known as a house party, is to bring miniature enthusiasts together to play and learn about the miniature world. There also are workshops to learn new techniques or learn from accomplished artisans.

Prior to the convention’s start, a group of more than 80 miniature enthusiasts came by bus to visit the NAME headquarters and small museum on 130 N. Range Line Rd., in Carmel The group also visited Carmel’s shops and The Museum of Miniature Houses, 111 E. Main St. “We think it’s great they get to visit our home office and our museum and see where our money goes,” said Barbara Thornton-Hill, from Nevada City, Calif., and a member of the board of trustees for NAME. Thornton-Hill last visited the headquarters when the convention was in Indianapolis in 2008. The board meetings are conducted monthly by computer.

“They’ve really spiffed up the place and done a lot of work on it. We put a lot of money into the house,” Thornton-Hill said.

Bruce Steinke, a past president of the board of trustees from Sandy, Utah, also was part of the group viewing the attractions at the headquarters. His last visit also was in 2008.

“Years ago we had a face-to-face board meeting and we used to meet (in Carmel) every January,” Steinke said. “The last year we were here the high was minus seven (degrees) so we started to go where our national convention was going to be somewhere warmer.”

Thompson salutes grandfather with Indy Honor Flight

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The World War II Memorial opened seven years after Grant Thompson’s grandfather died in 1997. veterans His grandfather, Bill Pace, a Marine who received a Purple Heart for wounds, fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima.

“My grandfather couldn’t go so I wanted to get closure and take somebody else,” Thompson said.

So Thompson took his wife’s great uncle, Marvin Mason, who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, to the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 2009. Thompson was so moved and believed other WWII vets should experience it and soon after started Indy Honor Flight.

“Now we take them 178 vets at a time so it snowballed into something real big, real quick,” Thompson said.

Indy Honor Flight is part of the National

Honor Flight Network. The next Indy Honor Flight is on Sept. 5, which has been filled, and will include several vets from Hamilton County and Zionsville. Thompson said most will be WWII vets on the trip along with 10 to 20 Korean War vets.

“We feel a sense of urgency to get this mission done. These (WWII vets) average is 90 so we’re trying everything we can do to get them there as quickly as possible while still remaining very safe,” Thompson said.

There will be another Indy Honor Flight on Oct. 31 with two more planes. That trip is called the Fireman’s Flight. Thompson said many firefighters and police officers from around the area serve as the majority of the guardians for those flights.

The first Indy Honor Flight was in 2012 with 80 veterans. There have been 11 flights so far.

Pug rescue event set for Aug. 15

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Bailey is the epitome of a pug lover.

When the retired Carmel resident’s beloved pug, Claude, died in January, he saw pets just how much of an impact his pup had in his life and others.

“My pug was a legend. My license plate said Claude, that’s how big he was to me,” said Bailey, 63. “I had over 4,500 Facebook friends (because of Claude). Most had pugs or were animal lovers. When he died, (they) sent me over $1,000, a hand-painted portrait of Claude and a granite bench. I donated every bit of the money to the Kentuckiana Pug Rescue.”

Bailey, who has two rescue cats, wants to get another pug in the future. In the meantime, Bailey, a member of the Kentuckiana Pug Rescue board, is helping to find homes for other pugs. The group’s 500 Festival of Pugs is set from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Lebanon. The cost is $5 per person and $15 for a family. All breeds are welcome to attend with their owners.

“It’s my favorite charity,” said Bailey, who also volunteers at Indiana University North in Carmel. “Every year I give them two sets of three Colts tickets.”

The event will include a banana eating

contest, best dog trick, pug races and curliest tail. There will be raffles, including one for a 50-inch TV, and vendors.

“It’s just a blast, especially if you like pugs.

There are so many cute pugs that come,” Bailey said. “It’s my pug fix.”

Bailey said the nonprofit spends $175,000 a year on medical expenses and finding pugs home.

Gallery to feature Provence photos

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Marie Reamer was bitten by the photography bug 40 years ago.

“But I’ve been concentrating on fine art art photography for the last 10 years,” Reamer said. “Once my children were grown I had more time to focus on the artistic side of photography, which is what I really enjoy the most.”

Reamer, a Carmel resident, and furniture maker Peter Falk, Cutler, Ind., have their work displayed in the ArtSplash Gallery, 111 W. Main St., Suite 140, this month.

Both Reamer and Falk have Reamer received the Indiana Artisan recognition for their talent and ability.

Reamer’s photos have been on display at galleries in the Carmel Arts and Design District for five years.

Her display features the art and architecture of Provence, a historical province in southeastern France.

“We visited many cities and towns that we have not visited in the past,” Reamer said.

“These are captured images of cityscapes, landscapes and architecture in these various

cities of Provence.”

Reamer said there will be about 30 images of Provence in her exhibit. Reamer, a former chemist at Eli Lilly, also worked as tutor at the middle school and high school level. Reamer’s work can be found on mreamerimages.com.

The exhibit for Falk, 38, is called “The Art of Seating.” His website is falkwoodstudio.com.

“I started making wooden toys with my older brother,” Falk said. “It went from making toys to making furniture. I started working with wood when I was 5 or 6 years old and gradually went into furniture through 4-H, so by about 10 I was making furniture.”

Italian Countess recounts her life in autobiography

By Heather Lusk • news@currentincarmel.com “If you can’t be the best, be different.”

These words from her mother encompass the theme that has followed Countess Bianca Maria Lovatelli throughout her rather interesting life.

The 81-year-old Carmel resident and Cover story grandmother of seven is fluent in five languages and counts Brazil, Argentina, France, England and Mexico among her prior homes. She was born to an Italian Count, Patriarca di Ravenna and Rimini, and thus gained her title of nobility. As a child, she and her mother fled Italy as World War II was beginning and joined her father in Brazil, where he had been transferred for work. There the Countess enjoyed high society life in South America and met the first of her four husbands.

She was born into a Catholic family, and she was the first in the family to get divorced. But that was just one of a number of firsts: first journalist in Brazil to write about equal pay for women, first white woman to interview the Umbanda, first anchorwoman in the family, first in her family to be offered a movie contract, the first Miss Rome in the family.

Miss Rome?

It was 1952, and she was socializing with other European counts, duchesses and a prince in Italy. They came upon a contest to crown Miss Rome and joined the audience. As a joke, her friends entered Lovatelli under an assumed name – one that was a forgotten part of her illustrious lineage that only she would know – and with a simple dress and minimal makeup Lovatelli won the title. An astute reporter at the event questioned who she was: coming from out of nowhere, a last minute entry, sitting with a group of aristocrats. When he discovered and reported her true identity, Lovatelli says her family was furious.

“They thought it was shameless,” she said.

The first 40 years of Lovatelli’s life have been compiled in an autobiography, “The Maverick Contessa.” She is a previously published author writing about the Umbanda – a voodoo-esque tribe in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro – and a book of philosophical essays, both written in Portuguese.

She became multi-lingual at an early age as her “very English” mother insisted that her daughter respond in English while her father insisted that she respond to him in Italian.

(Above) Lovatelli as a young girl in Italy. It was because of this photograph that she was offered a movie contract. Her father turned it down. (Left) Lovatelli was crowned Miss Rome in 1952. (Submitted photo)

Then she would speak Portuguese at school.

“What I wanted was to speak Portuguese,” she said.

She was first married to a gay Argentinian. The second husband was Swedish. Her third husband, her “real true love” was also Argentinian, but that ended in divorce when he left her for a prostitute.

“The fourth husband is not worth mentioning. He was an Italian Marquis and a total idiot,” she said. “I can prove it.”

After a decade-long career in journalism in Brazil, she moved to Argentina and then the United States in 1978. She moved between New York, South Carolina, Chicago and San Francisco before returning to Brazil in 1996.

In 2000 she found a spot in Italy. “I started to create a jewel of a farm in Tuscany,” she said. “‘The Animal Farm.’” It boasted alpacas, monkeys, prairie dogs and a tame skunk among others.

“I actually think I love animals more than people,” she said.

But the expense proved to be too much.

She sold the farm in 2008 and moved back to Argentina. “It broke my heart, really,” she said.

Her move to the United States came after a cancer diagnosis in 2013. She was treated in Miami after being told she had limited time to live, but she managed to beat cancer. When she became a cancer survivor her youngest son requested that she move to the Midwest near his Zionsville home. “He said, ‘You can die in my arms,’” said Lovatelli.

Her other two children live in Washington, D.C., and Rome.

Her title is recognized when she travels to Europe, but it will not be passed along to her children because of her gender.

The money and land once attached to the family name is now gone, as previous family members were “very clever at getting rid of the money and the land, gambling it away,” she said.

While sorting through the content and materials she had amassed over the years, Lovatelli came to the conclusion that she couldn’t write only one book. “I’m now writing the second half of my life,” she said.

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer with Ever Film Productions. She may be reached at aepaws1@comcast.net.

Carmel’s own Jeff Mosley (owner/operator of Chick-fil-a Crossing and Broad Ripple), his lovely wife Leah Mosley and Andrea DeMink, executive director of PourHouse welcomed more than 500 guests to their Chick-fil-a Music Festival at The Church of the Crossing. The event family-friendly event included Carmel vendors, live music and local celebrities.

Butler University came out to show support for PourHouse with their snazzy putt putt - hole in one tent. Brady Collier, director of sales, and Joe Gentry, director of corporate partnerships, agreed with “Where’s Amy?” that the 5-year-old participants will be the future golf pros of America.

“Where’s Amy?” …I was hanging out with Indiana Fever’s superstar Tamika Catchings, former Indianapolis Colt Marlin Jackson, K-LOVE musicians Sam Law and Savannah Whitaker and a couple of local life-sized mascots. Carmel residents Jeff and Leah Mosley (owner/operators of both Chick-fil-a Crossing and Broadripple locations) teamed up with PourHouse Executive Director Andrea DeMink to put on a music festival benefiting the PourHouse Organization. PourHouse assists individuals experiencing homelessness in overcoming barriers to housing, treatment and healthcare. The organization distributes clothing, food, blankets, hygiene products and related goods on a daily basis. More than 500 guests attended the free event, which included live music, local vendors, bounce houses and offered a bunch of family-friendly activities throughout the day. I had a blast meeting several Carmel vendors and sadly lost a to a 5-year-old future golf pro at the popular Butler putt putt tent. The Mosley family generously donated more than 500 packaged Chick-fil-a meals to guests, and there was one heck of a silent auction to benefit PourHouse. A special “Where’s Amy?” hats off to Carmel’s own Meg Osborne (and her amazing associates) for pulling off a magical family friendly festival. Two things I learned from the event … “Eat Mor Chikin” and how the PourHouse Organization is making a difference to so many people in need. For more information visit: www.pourhouse.org

Night at the Barre “Where’s Amy?” … I had the honor of attending “A Night At The Barre” gala and special VIP reception with the Indiana Ballet Conservatory at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. I took my mom with me as a guest and our night was too fun watching students from around the world representing the IBC and featured guest artists Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky - former principle dancers of American Ballet Theatre. The gala also had a magnificent silent auction that included fabulous gifts, memberships and handmade bright orange ballerina slippers autographed by featured artists. The IBA strives to share the art of dance through performance and outreach programs for underserved youth and the elderly by bringing arts and education to public schools and to those with special needs through targeted workshops. Please consider keeping their mission strong by visiting www.IndianaBalletConservatory. org/donate. “Where’s Amy?” … I was mesmerized alongside of a packed house watching a magical evening of professional and up-and-coming stars - enjoying the beauty of the art of ballet. Bravo, IBC, and I look forward to your upcoming benefit at the IMA in October.

Adam and Sara Smith of Fishers enjoyed back stage passes at the VIP Reception and enjoyed the incredible performances. New pal Sara told “Where’s Amy?” a few great reasons to attend the IBC Gala was - “It’s not just for women - men love to go too, it’s supporting a good cause because our city and state need support for the arts and you leave feeling a bit more cultured after witnessing world class dancers and choreography with professional dancers Irina Dvorovenko and husband Maxim Beloserkovsky.”

Aging

Hers to lose

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As the polling for presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle continues, it’s interesting, but not alarming, to note the slippage Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) is experiencing in certain sectors. For instance, one poll last week had her in a “statistical tie” with Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), but that was for New Hampshire, the state bordering Sanders’ home turf; she won New Hampshire in 2008. Clinton’s national lead amongst Democrats was shown to be shrinking, but we see that as a function of the field being crowded (although not as irresponsibly congested as the Republicans’ freak show), and her lead was 51-22 over Sanders, whereas she was at 59 percent the week prior. Most interesting, is that she is losing her grip on the female voter, apparently over a lack of trustworthiness. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that 53 percent of white women have a negative opinion of Clinton.

Consider this, too: If Vice President Joe Biden announces and gains President Barack Obama’s endorsement, and his fundraising and organizational machine, he would be a formidable candidate, as we see it. That’s what we believe Obama ultimately wants, an endorsement of his time in the White House, and it would amount to just that. Although it won’t be a cakewalk by any stretch, we still see Clinton superseding all the opponents.

And at that point, we shall haul out our Hillary Voodoo Doll.

Hand over the keys Commentary by Terry Anker As we zoom past middle-age, our adaptability to new technologies tends to wane.

In my lifetime, music formats have transformed from 45 RPM records bought at the 5 & Dime to 8-tracks to cassettes to compact disks to digital files (like MP3’s, WAV’s, and more formats than the uninitiated can count) and finally, to internet streaming to God only knows what is next. Many of us decide to get off the technology train entirely and come full-circle back to vinyl.

Most can boast a minimal proficiency in every format. In my own home, one might come across an 8-track tape by the 70s rock band Boston, however, it is more than a feeling that upgrading all of these albums once again is considerably less than appealing. While most of us eventually adapt, one wonders what, if anything, has been lost along the way.

In our own immediate family, we tend to buy cars and keep them for a decade or

more. We maintain them along the way but work to get every dollar out of the asset.

So, technology can make quite a jump from purchase to purchase. When renting a car on a business trip this month, the attendant at the agency was wholly amused by my working to operate the keyless-start. How can an automobile be an automobile without a key? Have we returned to the Model T with no lock and a crank start? Maybe.

But, is the key really required? Or, has it become a talisman wherein its magic springs only from our imagined need of it?

Keyless may be a better way. One wonders where else we should hand over the keys.

So much of life is driven by our need for the familiar. This resistance may prevent our discovery of a better, freer life.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

I’ve just returned from three annual check-ups for various body parts that should have been as simple as “Hey! You look great!

Anything new? Okay, see ya humor next year.” But alas, not one went as planned. The general consensus seems to be that I’m getting old, and there’s not a darn thing I (or they) can do about it. Boo! First up, the endocrinologist, who monitors my stupid malfunctioning thyroid gland.

Normally we have a nice chat, catch up on our kids, and then she sends in her henchman to draw my blood. But this year, because I offhandedly mentioned I’ve been simultaneously having hot flashes and gaining weight, two conflicting symptoms in the world of glandular disease, she launched into all the wonderful experiences that await me as menopause approaches. Noooo! I don’t want to keep my house set at 59 degrees year round to combat night sweats, nor do I care to pack on midsection pounds despite a diet of iceberg lettuce. She couldn’t even offer advice. “Oh it’s gonna happen,” was her comment. Good times.

Straight from her I headed over to the breast center for the dreaded mammogram.

And lucky for me, they’d purchased new machines, which twist and squeeze even more intensely than the old ones. Afterwards, I caught a glimpse of my topless self in the dressing room mirror: I looked like I’d been hit multiple times with a two-by-four. Bright red areas marred my pale, ginger-day-walker skin, indicating the exact places where I’d been mauled. Turns out, big girls do cry!

Finally, I saw the dermatologist to have her check a spot that keeps returning despite two uncomfortable freezes with liquid nitrogen. Her best guess? Either pre or actual cancer. Not melanoma, she assured me, but she did go ahead and biopsy it. I’m currently awaiting the pathology report while sporting two stitches and a fat, bruised bottom lip. (But you should see the other guy!)

Seriously though, this aging process is rough, and I still have the ob/gyn and dentist on the calendar. I’m really starting to hate annual check-ups!

Peace out.

Next stop: Bathroom?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Mary Ellen, where do we keep the soup spoons? Did you move the instant coffee?

Where are the salad bowls?” humor I have been asking my wife this kind of stuff for 25 years.

Now that we’ve had the kitchen renovated, I have more questions: “What’s a convection oven? Where did they hide the dishwasher?

Where can I tape my “New Yorker” cartoons?”

So that the space in our new refrigerator is maximized, Mary Ellen explained the three food groups. “Dick, there are items we both eat like milk and cheese, and there are foods only I enjoy like broccoli and spinach. Then, there is stuff only you like: salami, Bud Lite, hot salsa, leftover KFC, and the elephant ears from the State Fair you froze last summer. The first two food groups go in the new fridge; the rest goes into our old unit.” (now banished to the basement).

“I love my new kitchen,” she said to me last night.

“Wait a second – you don’t call it your house. Why is it your kitchen?”

“Well, I worked with the designers all spring while you played golf, and this week, without

your help, I put everything back in the new cabinets. And I’ll be doing all the cooking for the rest of our lives while you are downstairs playing Words with Friends.”

“Okay, so it’s your kitchen. What can I do to help?”

“Please don’t print little labels that say Knives, Cereal or Can Opener, and stick them on the new cabinet doors. And if a drawer seems stuck, do not pry it open with a hammer. It’s called a false door front. And please read the directions for all the new appliances.

To heat last night’s frozen pizza, you hit the 30-second button 16 times.”

Next we are going to renovate my bathroom. It’s good-bye to my stained bathtub and my disgusting shower curtain. But they will look awesome in the basement storeroom next to the fridge.

Indian dancer performs Aug. 15 news@currentincarmel.com

On Aug. 15, Rani Rejimon and Rejimon Varghese will host the Bharathanatyam Arangetram of their daughter, Jwala Rejimon.

Bharathanatyam is a form of Indian classical dance culture that originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu.

“This is her dance graduation. It’s classical Indian dance she’s been learning for about 10 years. It’s kind of a graduation but in India we call it Arangetram. This will be her grand performance. Most people do it to learn the Indian culture, values, dance forms and stories. Some people don’t do it because it’s an expensive venture so they do it in a smaller way but she has a real passion for it,” said Rejimon Varghese.

The event will be held at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center beginning with a meet and greet at 4 p.m. The performance will begin at 5 p.m. followed by dinner at 8 p.m. The family is expecting around 400 guests to attend with some traveling from India for the occasion.

“We have musicians coming from India. We have a singer, a violinist, a flutist and a mridangist. Indian Carnatic music field Sri.V V Sundaram is the chief guest and the pioneer Bharatanatyam dance guru of USA Smt.Hema Rajagopalan is the guest of honor for the occasion. We also have Sri. K P Singh, distinguished artist as the guest of honor for the event,” said Rejimon Varghese.

The performance itself lasts about two hours.

“She’ll have about nine different dances in the performance. One dance is 46 minutes. She will continuously dance for the 46 minutes. It’s testing her endurance, expressions and techniques,” said Rejimon Varghese.

Guests should RSVP. Although the event is free to attend, proceeds will go to Indiana Malayalee Association, Tamil Sangam of Central Indiana, Hindu Temple of Central Indiana and NRIscholarships.org.

Carol Bell resides in Noblesville and is popular artist who specializes in Ikebana Flower Vases, Tea Love Pocket Mugs, Horse Hair Pottery and Frames Quilts. Her work is nature inspired, functional, and is created to joy to everyday life.

David Frohbeiter is a popular 2D Artist that does historically inaccurate illustrations, hand drawn with pencil, pen and ink, and colored pencils.

Anticipating the greatest party Commentary by Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, President/CEO The Center for the Performing Arts It gives me great pleasure to share with our community that this December the Cennew year’s eve ter for the Performing Arts will host our first New Year’s Eve Extravaganza!

Since my arrival to Carmel in 2012, I have had a number of individuals asking about a New Year’s Eve celebration at the Palladium. Some of these individuals have been very vocal about the benefits of having such an event in Carmel. They have also not been shy at expressing their disappointment when, time and time again, I’ve had to explain that the timing was not right.

Well, after three years of disappointing my friends, our 5th Anniversary Season is the perfect time to say yes! I am pleased to announce that we at the Palladium are now ready to ring in the New Year with 1,000 of our closest friends!

On Dec. 31 The Center for the Performing Arts will put on what promises to be the best New Year’s Eve party on the North Side. The evening will include food, cocktails, dancing, and entertainment, all at a reasonable price. Two local bands will entertain us at the pre-parties: the Bishops – a fun, party, cover band will play in the Robert Adam Room, and Flat Bed Twitch – a three piece country and rock acoustic trio will play in the Founders Room. Karaoke in the Shiel Sexton Songbook Lounge will add fun and frolic to the festivities.

The Hot Sardines, “one of the best jazz bands in New York today,” (Forbes Magazine) will hit the Palladium stage at 10 p.m. and will welcome the New Year at midnight.

If you haven’t made plans for Dec. 31, I sure hope you will join us. For more, visit currentnightandday.com.

Langton’s Irish Pub now open

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com There are plenty of Irish pubs and restaurants in Carmel, but the people behind Langton’s say their new location at new biz the Carmel City Center will be more authentic.

“Plenty of places can throw a few shamrock posters on the wall and call themselves an Irish pub,” said Rob Hoersdig, director of operation for CLB Restaurants. “We did the research and put in the time to make this a truly authentic Irish pub like one you’d find overseas.”

Langton’s, at 720 Range Line Rd., opened on Aug. 10 for dinner service with full lunch and dinner starting the following week. Brunch will begin in the near future.

One of the major differences is the layout and feel. Stone and wood from overseas was shipped to create two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs. Little corners and nooks were built to create an intimate setting with quiet places to hide and chat over a European beer. Private rooms feature tables of eight to 10 that can be reserved.

Each table has its own TV and many of the screens can be controlled directly by the customer at the table. Soccer matches and NFL football will frequently bring customers,

Hoersdig said.

Langton’s is owned by the same company as Matt the Miller’s Tavern and is directly next door, but Hoersdig said it should have a different feel.

“Matt the Miller’s is a restaurant with a great bar but Langton’s is a bar that has really good food,” he said. “Obviously, the market will decide but we expect a different percentage of drink sales compared to food sales.”

The menu includes both Irish and American fare. Specialties include their ‘Paddy’ melt, corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, cottage pie, Rueben rolls and Guinness beef stew.

Most items cost approximately $10 to $15.

Besides the European beers on tap, the bar features specialty cocktails showcasing Irish whiskey.

Networking was the topic of conversation at a Sparks Talks event held at Transformation Fitness and Wellness on Indianapolis’ near north side last month. networking A group of around 50 attended the TED talk-style event where they listened to speakers give timed motivational speeches. They mingled over snacks and drinks afterward.

“Who here has been to a Sparks event before?” asked Chris Reed, the founder of Sparks Talks, of the audience. About half raised their hand. Later on in the event, nearly all of the attendees said they’d like to become regulars.

“We want to make a tribe of people who are doing continuous work,” Reed said. “We want to inspire people to be better than they were yesterday.”

country to speak to audiences. Reed formed Sparks in 2012, when at that time there was no TED event in Indianapolis.

Sparks Talks has since expanded throughout the Indianapolis area. The organization has a website where anyone can access over 100 archived talks. The group has an app for networking with other Spark attendees.

“You experience a collective experience, and you want to talk about it afterwards,” Reed said. “You get the content, you get it quickly, and then you talk about it.”

Jennifer Seffrin, the leader of Indy Holistic Hub, spoke on nutrition and health at the event. She said Sparks is about “spreading conversation” through the city, and that she hopes it expands to new audiences.

“I know there are a lot of people in the general community who will want to come,” Seffrin said.

Reed said that he eventually wants to expand the network nationwide to the west coast through the mobile app and through new events.

Terry Lee: Ranked among the best

By Navar Watson • news@currentincarmel.com Car dealership owner Terry Lee always has a plan, and he always sticks to it. Now, he’s one of the most sucAchievement cessful businessmen in Indiana.

For the third year, Terry Lee Honda in Avon has ranked in the Top 100 car dealerships to work for out of 17,000 in the United States, according to Automotive News. And he anticipates his new Noblesville business, Terry Lee Hyundai, will make the list next year.

He attributed his Automotive News Awards to the family-like culture he strives to portray.

“We talk about treating people like family. …

It’s kind of a common thing that people hear, but it’s again practicing what you preach,” he said. “It’s not a marketing slogan. It’s really a culture.”

Terry Lee Hyundai in Noblesville, which opened in March, has already become the number one Hyundai dealership in the state.

The $8 million facility had a planning potential to sell 400 cars per year, and Lee estimates selling from 800 to 1,000 this year.

What separates Lee’s dealerships from others, however, is not price or vehicle quality.

Instead, it’s the focus on customer satisfaction, a lesson he learned from mentor and late Cadillac dealer, Freda Lockhart.

“I think today people love to buy, but they

hate to be sold,” Lee said. “We try and adapt to the way they want to buy the car rather than make the customer adapt to the way we want to sell it.”

Lee started off at Tom Wood before opening up a Chevrolet dealership in Cincinnati. In a market of 32 stores, Lee’s store made it to No. 1 before he sold it in 2008 and began work on Terry Lee Honda in Avon.

Beer lovers launch Brew Bracket

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

It all began with a beer. Not many business ventures can make that claim, but two Carmel residents built their budding local biz brew business based on a shared love of suds. Mike Sale and Ryan Coyle took an at home beer tasting into something to be enjoyed by the masses.

“We were sitting around one day and we were both drinking a different Indian Pale Ale. We talked about finding a way to figure out who had the best IPA in town. We went out and got a handful of IPAs, and we hosted our own tournament at home. We thought it worked out well and was pretty awesome. We wondered ... can we take this to a big stage?

Can we scale this up? That’s when in spring of 2011, we had our first 16 brewer, 400 person event at the fairgrounds,” said Coyle.

Brew Bracket is a tournament style beer tasting competition.

The pair has hosted 10 tournaments so far. The success of the events got them to thinking about what started it all – the in

home tasting with the India Pale Ales all those years ago. They wanted to take what they’ve learned in the large tournaments and create a kit for people to use at home.

“We’ve started developing the at home Brew Bracket. The idea is you, the homeowner, get to host your own Brew Bracket in your home. When you purchase the experience kit you get all your tasting glasses, your voting card, a host bracket and host guide. It comes with orange and grey pitchers – everything you need to host a tournament at your own home,” said Coyle.

The kits are $35.

A link: Vision and learning Commentary by Tammy Wittmann It’s August and every parent in Indiana is scrambling to make sure their child is ready to head back to school. Book eye care bags. Shoes. Notebooks. Band practice. Football practice.

The list goes on and on. But on the top of that list should be EYE EXAM. Did you know that vision is the number one sense that affects learning and development? Does your child not particularly like to read? Do they do great on the first few math problems and fizzle out at the end of the assignment? Do they have a hard time focusing for a long period of time? Has your child been labeled as having a learning problem? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions your child may have a vision problem.

Did you know that your child only gets their vision screening at school in kindergarten, fifth grade and eighth grade? A lot changes between kindergarten and fifth grade. And a screening is just a screening. There are many vision issues that are not found by reading an eye chart. There are many other issues that need to be tested in a comprehensive eye

exam with an eye doctor that tests for near and binocular vision problems. It’s important when making the appointment for your child that you ask if your doctor specifically tests for these. Not all do.

Vision not only impacts learning development, but affects social, physical and emotional development as well. Once these vision problems are corrected, the doors are opened for your child to be the best they can be.

Make sure your child is ready for school.

Schedule their back to school eye exam before school starts. Your child will thank you later.

Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Before you go any ‘further’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Jordan, a few years ago Ford Motor Co. used the tagline ‘Go Further.’ Would you please explain the grammar guy correct use of ‘further’ vs. ‘farther?’ I would prefer to rely on the Grammar Guy rather than Corporate America for grammatical guidance.

After all, the business world gave us ‘Lands’ End,’ ‘Eat Fresh’ and ‘Rethink Possible.’ Thank you for furthering the cause of good grammar.” – (Nancy Reichmann, Westfield) Answer: Hi Nancy … to be fair, the business world also gave us Dodge Ram, which is a pretty fun little oxymoron to see roaming around town.

More to your point: There can be some ambiguity between whether “further” or “farther” is the correct choice, and this happens to be one of those occasions. Let’s talk about why.

Both “further” and “farther” have historically been used as the comparative form of “far,”

meaning “at, to or by a greater distance.” The Oxford Dictionaries will tell you “further” and “farther” may be used interchangeably in that meaning, as they have been for hundreds of years.

“Further” has more uses, though. Unlike “farther,” which is limited to descriptions of actual distances, “further” is often used metaphorically or abstractly (ex. “to further a career”).

Because of this, many grammar guides – I include myself among them – suggest simplifying the situation by using “farther” in all contexts describing actual, physical distances, and “further” only for abstract or metaphorical uses. Otherwise you could end up like Ford Motor Co., where my response to their slogan is, “Go further what?”

Bicycle parking flat in Amsterdam. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Amsterdam: Bicycle capital Commentary by Don Knebel Amsterdam is well known for its canals, its museums and its casual tolerance of certain activities other cities find unactravel ceptable. It is also known as the bicycle capital of the world.

Amsterdam’s 780,000 residents, who enjoy one of the world’s highest standards of living, own about a million bicycles but only 250,000 automobiles. To encourage bike riding, the city has provided 250 miles of dedicated bicycle paths and 250,000 racks. High costs of automobile parking, level terrain and a Dutch desire to be fit seal the deal. Every day, 60 percent of Amsterdammers, no matter what the weather or their social status, ride their bicycles to work, to their children’s schools, to the market or just for fun. More people get around Amsterdam by bicycle than by car. In the city center, bicycles constitute 48 percent of all traffic. For a nominal fee, a three-story bicycle garage (“flat”) on the west side of Amsterdam’s central train station provides guarded spaces for 2,500 bikes.

Riders unable to find more secure locations

lock their bikes to whatever objects they can find, with less than optimal results. Amsterdam thieves steal about 50,000 bicycles every year. Because another one, probably itself stolen, can be purchased for about $40, few victims report stolen bicycles and less than half the people whose bikes have been recovered bother to reclaim them. Locals jokingly liken the process of losing and obtaining stolen bicycles to an exchange. The widespread use and theft of bicycles leads to an unusual kind of water pollution. About 40 bicycles a day are tossed into Amsterdam’s 60 miles of canals. While amused tourists watch, two full-time city employees fish them out using a large claw mounted on a barge.

The next time you are in Amsterdam, consider renting a bike. You will feel right at home.

Project of the decade highlight: Lanais

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

In a humble effort to continue celebrating our “PROJECT OF THE DECADE” we recently previewed, let’s exoutdoor living plore the individual components more in depth, starting with the lanais.

SCREENS? We design / build considerably more openair porches (lanais) than we do screen porches or sunrooms. The conversation evolves from client to client. Some are horrified at the thought of mosquitos and flies buzzing around their outdoor room, but many tolerate them or simply don’t have an insect problem.

Steve and Courtenay Wagner’s beautiful home, and project of the year, is gracefully nestled in an elegant, leafy neighborhood that merges into a heavily wooded area. Yet insects curiously aren’t an issue. The lanais needed to communicate smartly with the rest of the seven outdoor living spaces. Yes … seven fabulous spaces! A few are small, intimate escapes and others are centered around the art of entertaining … surrounding the pool, positioned in front of the fireplace or growing from the grill station as festivities and family joy spreads.

Steve and Courtenay Wagner’s beautiful home, and project of the year, is gracefully nestled in an elegant, leafy neighborhood that merges into a heavily wooded area. (Submitted photo)

We chose premium cedar as the primary structural lanais components with a few flairs to pull the details from the home into the lanais. The ceiling fan helps with airflow and is a contributor to discouraging flying insects from hanging around. Because of the woods canopy, shade wasn’t a driver in the structure, simply a resounding place to gather. And this place has it all.

TV. BAR-COUNTER. TAP. I can only imagine how powerful, yet peaceful, it must be to celebrate with family and friends while the Colts game screams on the

outdoor TV. The formal brick fireplace situated a comfortable distance away, crackles under the loud cheers from another Luck touchdown as a local craft beer flows from the bar station tap. Another Colts win!

That’s why this is our “PROJECT OF THE DECADE.” Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

When to use solid vs. engineered hardwood

Which type of hardwood is right for your home? For a versatile and natural look that never goes out of style, interiors many homeowners choose to install hardwood flooring. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained in style for more than 200 years with no signs that tastes will change anytime soon. Today, homeowners have more hardwood options to choose from than ever before. With designs ranging from rustic to retro to contemporary, there is a style of hardwood floors to fit any home.

Although there are countless wood finishes, hardwood planks can be divided into two main categories: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from pure, solid wood planks. This method of constructing hardwood floors is the original way hardwood has been installed in homes for hundreds of years. The main advantage of solid hardwood flooring is the fact that it can be repaired multiple times.

Scratches, discoloration or other signs of wear and tear can disappear through a sanding and refinishing process. This increases the lifespan of your flooring dramatically.

Hundreds of types of hardwood looks are available, but which is best for you? (Submitted photo)

The other way of manufacturing planks is called engineered hardwood. Engineered hardwood is made from pressed plywood that uses a thin wood veneer as the top layer. The biggest difference between the two categories is stability, which results in the ability to get wider and longer board planks, which is all the rage right now. It won’t contract and expand as much as traditional hardwood.

If you are trying to decide whether to install solid hardwood or engineered, you’ll want to survey and inspect the room where you are considering new floors. It’s important to note that hardwood is susceptible to moisture and
