Nearly 1,700 Carmel students lose bus service because of driver shortage

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Approximately 10 percent of Carmel Clay Schools students are no longer eligible to ride a bus to and from EDUCATION school this year because of a shortage of drivers.

On Aug. 3, the district alerted parents of 1,670 students that live approximately 1 mile or less from school of the pending change.

The CCS school board of trustees made the change official Aug. 11 by unanimously voting to set a minimum distance for the no-bus zones and alter the school day start times to accommodate increased vehicle drop-offs and bus drivers with multiple routes.

“While we have worked hard to find solutions that allow all our students to arrive safely and in a timely manner, we simply cannot support all of our riders with our severely limited availability of drivers,” an email to affected parents states.

CCS Assistant Supt. for Business Affairs Roger McMichael said at the Aug. 11 meeting that approximately half of students living within a mile of their campus still have bus service, particularly if getting to school requires crossing a major roadway such as Keystone Parkway or U.S. 31.

CCS Director of Community Relations Emily Bauer said the district has roughly 90 general education bus drivers and 42 special education drivers. With the previous bus routes, the district needed a minimum of 134 general education drivers and 42 special education drivers. To be at ideal staffing levels, the district also would need approximately 10 substitute drivers.

Adjustments to school start times include beginning the elementary school day 10 minutes earlier at 7:40 a.m., beginning the middle school day 20 minutes earlier at 8:25 a.m. and starting the high school day 20 minutes later at 9:05 a.m. The length of the school day will remain the same for all students.

Elementary students may be dropped off as early as 7:15 a.m., which is 25 minutes before class begins. Students will be supervised at no cost until the school day begins.

Previously, school buildings opened 10 minutes before class began.

CCS previously had no-bus zones until 2007, but they were discontinued primarily as a result of Carmel’s rapid growth. Before

Crossing guards help students safely cross Haverstick Road.

Carmel firefighters and crossing guards remind drivers to proceed with caution.

2007, the school district provided buses for students in the many new subdivisions that didn’t have sidewalks or remained under construction for lengthy periods of time, regardless of their distance from schools.

“As a result, the walk areas were inconsistent across the district and the decision was made to eliminate the no-bus zones rather than to discontinue bus service to those areas not in compliance,” Bauer said.

Several other school districts in Indiana do not provide bus transportation to students who live near school, including Indianapolis Public Schools, the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville and Goshen Community Schools.

Bauer said it’s not yet clear if the no-bus zones will be permanent.

“We will have to continue to route for the number of drivers we have,” she said. “If we were ever to make up enough ground on the hiring front, the administration and school board would have to consider whether or not to change.”

To improve safety for students walking or biking to school, CCS has identified one or more designated crosswalks at each campus, and most will be staffed by a school employee.

CCS is working with the Carmel Police Dept. and City of Carmel to make the journey to school as safe as possible for students. The city plans to install up to nine mid-block crossing signals near schools and will consider adding more if necessary. CPD officers will be stationed near schools to deter speeding and promote safety.

City officials are encouraging students to form a “walking school bus” or “bicycle trains,” which includes groups of students walking or biking to school with one or more supervising adults.

Those who are unable to walk or bike to school are encouraged to carpool.

The GOAT withdraws variance request, seeks rezone instead

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The owner of The GOAT tavern has withdrawn a request for a use variance to operate the establishment in CITY NEWS a residentially zoned area and replaced it with a petition to rezone the site from residential to B2 business zoning.

The GOAT has been closed since April when the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals

denied a use variance for the site. In July, a Hamilton County judge threw out the denial and ordered the BZA to hold a new hearing, ruling that the BZA didn’t follow Open Door laws in finalizing its decision.

The BZA appealed the judge’s order, but with the variance request withdrawn, the appeal could be dismissed.

According to Carmel’s zoning ordinance, B2 zoning exists to “provide primarily for heavy commercial office uses to be developed as a unit or on individual parcels.”

It is intended to provide an area where “heavy businesses may locate with minimal requirements.”

Carmel’s Technical Advisory Committee is set to review the rezone request at its 9 a.m. Aug. 18 virtual meeting.

Carmel’s Dept. of Community Services mistakenly allowed The GOAT to open in July 2020 without a variance. The site had previously been home to Bub’s Cafe, which received permission to operate only between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Soon after the tavern opened, neighbors

complained about noise, litter and patrons of the establishment urinating and vomiting on private property. The complaints sharply decreased after The GOAT owners agreed to an extensive list of commitments to address the complaints, but BZA members who voted against the variance didn’t believe the problems had been adequately addressed.

The GOAT, 220 2nd St. SW, is the only parcel with residential zoning along the Monon Greenway in Carmel’s downtown and Midtown areas.

The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees voted to raise pay for substitute teachers and appointed a new director of facilities and transportation at its Aug. 11 meeting.

What it means: Fenoglio, who most recently served as director of properties for College Park Church, replaces Ron Farrand, who retired. Fenoglio is an architect with experience in construction, land development and facility management.

What happened: School board meeting attendees were required to be scanned with a handheld metal detector and have their bags searched before entering the meeting.

What it means: The new measures were put in place after a handgun fell out of an attendee’s pocket at the July 26 school board meeting. At the beginning of the Aug. 11 meeting, Supt. Michael Beresford said that it’s “sad and frankly scary that we had to implement these measures in order for our board, staff and public to feel safe.”

New penalties for hands-free driving violations

By Haley Miller news@currentincarmel.com Indiana motorists will now receive four penalty points on their driver’s license for violating the state’s handsROADS free driving law, which prohibits holding a telecommunications device while driving, Indiana BMV Commissioner Peter Lacy said during a July 29 press conference. A license is suspended when a driver receives 20 points. SpeedLacy ing by 1-15 MPH results in 2 points. Drivers can also be fined up to $500.

Lacy also addressed adjustments to school and work zone infractions.

“The intent of these changes is to keep Indiana roads safe for motorists as well as students and road construction workers,” Lacy said.

Indiana hands-free driving law Indiana’s hands-free driving law went into effect in July 2020. Law enforcement officers initially focused on issuing citations and warnings to prioritize the public learning about the law, Indiana State Police Capt. Ron Galaviz said at the press conference.

“In the first year alone, law enforcement statewide Galaviz counted almost 16,000 combined citations and warnings for violation of this law,” said Galaviz, chief public information officer for the ISP. “That means that law enforcement had 16,000 opportunities to have conversations with the motoring public.”

Lacy said he encourages people to use hands-free technology or a Bluetooth adapter in their vehicles instead of holding their device if they talk on the phone, follow directions or listen to music. The only exception to the hands-free law is when a driver

needs to call 911 to report an emergency.

Gary Langston, president of the Indiana Motor Truck Association, said during the conference he is confident the law will make a difference.

“It took a long time for everybody to get used to the seat belts, and most people do (use them) now,” Langston said.

“So, it might take a while, but we’re not going to give up because it’s so important.”

LOOKING FOR A SIGN TO BUILD?

School and work zone infractions With the start of the 2021-22 school year and increased school bus and pedestrian traffic, Indiana drivers should take care not to drive dangerously in school zones or ignore school bus stop arms, Galaviz said.

“We should treat every school bus as if one of our own children was on that bus,” Galaviz said.

Police will monitor for stop-arm violations through Sep. 15 as part of the Stop Arm Violation Enforcement program.

“Officers from more than 200 law (enforcement) agencies around the state of Indiana are going to be conducting high-visibility patrols along school bus stop routes, watching for stop-arm violations and motorists driving dangerously,” Galaviz said.

Drivers will receive penalty points on their licenses for school zone infractions.

“In the past, school zone infractions accrued points like any other general speeding violation,” Lacy said. “They were assessed based on how fast the driver was exceeding the limit. Now, we have a specific offense code for school zones.”

Work zone infractions have been updated to match school zone infractions on the points table. Drivers speeding in a work zone can accumulate four to eight points, depending on how much they exceed the speed limit.

Gene Lindley, chief operating officer of the James H. Drew Corp., said speed and distracted driving put construction and maintenance workers at risk.

“I urge you, please put the phone down when you’re driving,” Lindley said.

Businesses in central Indiana have been forced to decide if they will require customers to wear face coverPANDEMIC ings after health officials released new guidance but no mandates. The response from the business community has varied. Some are requiring masks, others are not and some feel they can’t enforce a mask requirement without a state or county mandate.

Because of the pervasiveness of the COVID-19 delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance July 27 recommending individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear face masks in indoor areas of substantial or high transmission, which includes all of central Indiana, according to the CDC. Local health departments soon followed suit and issued new guidance echoing the CDC’s call to recommend masks. But because masks are not mandated, as they previously had been in Indiana, businesses now must choose whether to require masks or leave them up to personal choice.

Some businesses have chosen not to require masks. Curt Whitesell, owner of Greek’s Pizzeria at 231 Park St. in Westfield, said the restaurant has chosen not to have an independent policy regarding masks for employees or guests.

“It was important to us to have as normal and comfortable an environment as possible for those that chose to work or dine with us and to implement an unnecessary or opinionated policy on either party seemed counterproductive,” Whitesell said. “For our guests, we always encourage them to dine with us when they feel comfortable, and if a mask is part of that process, they are more than welcome to practice that right.

“We will always follow what we are legally mandated, but beyond that it is an individual choice and we have had zero pushback from either side.”

Kits & Kaboodle Classic Toys in Carmel required masks during the mandate, but the store now recommends customers wear masks. Store manager Keri Dorsey said the decision was made because Kits & Kaboodle is a children’s store, and children younger than 12 are not eligible for a vaccine.

Other businesses have chosen to require masks for all customers, regardless of vac-

cination status.

Angela Gapinski, owner of Root 31 at 226 Park St. in Westfield and Remedy at 203 Jersey St. in Westfield said her businesses require masks and have “always followed the CDC’s recommendations, and we will continue to regarding masks.”

“We are thankful our entire staff is vaccinated; however, we care about our community’s well-being over our individual comforts,” Gapinski said. “Wearing a mask is an easy way to show our neighbors that we care and a simple way to protect the most vulnerable.”

Liz Esra, who co-owns Cobblestone in Zionsville, said her restaurant is following guidance from the Boone County Health Dept. but is not requiring masks.

“I honestly think for a lot of people it’s going to take a mandate for them to wear (masks) again because it was at times difficult to enforce them when the mandate was in effect,” Esra said.

Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said because of employee shortages, many businesses feel they are not capable of enforcing mask requirements.

“I think for many of our businesses, they would appreciate having a state or county mandate about masks,” Gutwein said. “If you are going into one restaurant or one business where it requires it and another doesn’t, it leaves a level of ambiguity, and it puts it up to that business owner. You already have a number of employees that are under a great deal of stress because they are already working more hours and doing more than what’s in their capacity than in the past. Having to police mask wearing on top of that is difficult.”

County launches portal to apply for COVID relief funding

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County has launched a portal for local businesses, nonprofits and governmental units to apply for PANDEMIC American Rescue Plan Act funds to recover from losses sustained because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The county has already received roughly $32 million in ARPA funds from the federal government and is set to receive an additional Altman $33.5 million in June 2022.

The county has until 2026 to invest the funds.

The county’s ARPA committee, which includes county commissioners, county councilors, the county auditor, county attorney and others, recently identified five key areas of investment: revenue reduction recovery, water/sewer infrastructure, broadband deployment, economic development/relief and reserve for contingencies.

The Hamilton County Commissioners approved the investment plan at its Aug. 9 meeting, paving the way for the application portal to launch.

“I have seen organizations do some amazing things to adapt and survive under unprecedented circumstances, but so many are just getting by as the pandemic drags on,” County Commissioner Christine Altman stat-

ed in a press release. “This grant program provides much needed assistance that will help organizations throughout our community overcome the next phase of the crisis.”

According to the county, funds are available to organizations who: • Are in good standing concerning state and local taxes, any appropriate professional licensing and/or program (state and federal) • Are in compliance with any appropriate and applicable local codes and ordinances • Are locally owned • Are in good standing with the Indiana Secretary of State • Endured negative economic impact because of the COVID-19 public health emergency • Show a decline in overall revenue from 2019 • Can supply a COVID impact statement that illustrates the connection between the negative economic harm and the COVID-19 public health emergency The county will give funding priority to organizations that are minority-, woman- or veteran-owned and service organizations that work to provide direct, life-sustaining assistance with a focus on recovery and sustainability.

Runner Satterfield seeks to help HSE win state title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior cross-country runner Nolan Satterfield has set high expectations for the team and himself for the season.

Satterfield finished ninth in the 2020 IHSAA boys cross-country state meet in a time of 15:53.9, helping the Royals to a sixth-place team finish.

“Individually, I’m setting the bar at a top-10 finish again,” Satterfield said.

“I’m putting in a lot of work and I’m putting in a push for top five this year. As a team, we definitely have a lot of talent. We are returning all of our guys that scored last year. We’re all going to be seniors that will be scoring for us. We want to win a state championship and that’s our goal. We know it’s going to be hard work, but we know we can do it.”

Satterfield was 46th in the 2019 state meet in 16:25.9 as a sophomore and HSE was 10th. As a freshman, Satterfield placed 115th and the Royals finished 13th.

Following his freshman year, Satterfield decided to give up basketball and concen-

teammates as they prepare for this season,” Brian said. “The chemistry appears to be great, which is always a key for success.”

Satterfield said his training was a little different for track.

“I focused more on speed and I didn’t get as much mileage, but I focused on the mile,” Satterfield said. “I won sectional and regional in the mile (1,600) with (a personal record) 4:20. I made it to the state meet and didn’t perform super well. I went out a little too hard and it came back to bite me, but overall, the season went well.”

Satterfield said the speed training might help in the cross-country season this fall.

Satterfield was coached by his mother, Deb, who previously was the boys and girls cross-country coach at HSE Intermediate/ Junior High.

As for continuing his career in college, Satterfield said Purdue University, the University of Louisville, University of Alabama and University of Kentucky have shown the most interest.

To get ready for the season, Satterfield said he is doing all he can off the course, getting more sleep, eating better and working on ways to help his recovery time.

Murals adorn vacant building

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com With redevelopment under way at Clay Terrace, General Manager Jennifer Jones and her team have sought CLAY TERRACE ways to beautify the shopping center during the process.

Clay Terrace, in partnership with GANGGANG, a cultural development startup, has created Art Walk, a community art installation on the sides of an empty building set to be redeveloped. Clay Terrace will have the grand opening of Art Walk, a community art installation, at 4 p.m. Aug. 18. From 5 to 6 p.m., there will be a meet and greet with the artists by the individual murals.

GANGGANG is backed in part by the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Clay Terrace worked with GANGGANG, whose mission is to develop cultural entrepreneurs with a strong focus on racial equity, to commission 11 area artists to create a series of 12 large-scale murals at the town center.

Celebration of Hope set for Aug. 21

By Haley Miller news@currentnoblesville.com Prevail will present its annual Celebration of Hope event this month to raise money for its programs supporting PREVAIL survivors of crime and abuse, including sexual assault and domestic violence.

Prevail is a nonprofit based in Noblesville.

The gala will be from 6 to 11 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Renaissance Hotel in Carmel. The Prevail team has Robinson arranged for a survivor to speak, marketing and event coordinator Natasha Robinson said.

“It’s a celebration of our speaker that night, and (it’s) celebrating hope and empowerment for survivors and the support that the community gives them,” Robinson said.

Prevail emphasizes empowerment at the event because survivors and people close to them often feel their power has been stripped away, Robinson said.

“We like to focus on the positive outcomes and where they’re going to eventually get to,” Robinson said. “We walk on the journey with them.”

The fundraiser will feature a silent auction, plated dinner and dancing to the live band Dave and Rae. Robinson said that in the past, the Celebration of Hope event has generated approximately $200,000 for the nonprofit.

Individual tickets are $175. The event is at capacity, but those interested can join the wait list or make a direct donation to Prevail’s website at prevailinc.com.

DISPATCH Homework help — A new school year has brought new video tutoring services to help middle school and high school students better understand their math and science homework through Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s free AskRose Homework Help program.

The value of friendship Commentary by Lorene Burkhart Have you ever observed young children at preschool when, as soon as they arrive, they begin looking PLAIN TALK for a friend? It’s one of the early words in their vocabulary.

Friendship is considered to be a core biological necessity, providing the link to our need to belong. We join clubs, small groups, sororities and fraternities, and make connections online to find a place to belong.

The word friend is described as a person with whom one enjoys mutual affection and regard. In her book “Love 2.O: Finding Happiness and Health in Moments of Connection,” Barbara Frederickson writes that three things happen when you connect with another person: A sharing of positive emotions, a synchronizing of brain activity known as “natural coupling” and a reflected interest in each other’s well-being.

Another author on friendship, Lydia Denworth, says it takes 40 to 60 hours to move from an acquaintance to a casual friend, 80 to 100 hours to become a friend and 200 hours to earn consideration as a best

friend.

There, indeed, is the value of friendship, when another person invests that much time to become your friend.

I remember having a boss who once said to me, “How many friends do you have that would rescue you from a burning building?”

Well, that’s a little extreme, but you get the idea. Friends go the extra mile for each other. It’s one of the treasures in life.

I marvel at the ability of new residents at our retirement community to move from their lifelong friends to be near an adult child or other relative, recognizing their need for extra care as they age. Oftentimes, their friends are the same age and also in need of more than friendship. Fortunately, they make new friends in their new community who fill the friendship need.

Lucky are we if we have one of those treasures: a true friend.

Former CHS star starts head coaching career at Colorado State

Hagen became a full-time asat Colorado State, which began play sistant in 2008. in 2013.

ObHagen, 38, was a three-time All-American viously, taking over a program that is fairly at the University of Tennessee, winning new is going to provide challenges, but I

look at those challenges as opportunities.”

Hagen, whose maiden name is Dowling, played professional soccer for two years in Sweden and then three years with the Women’s Professional Soccer league. She helped New Jersey’s Sky Blue FC win the league championship in 2009. During her three years with WPS, she was a Tennessee assistant. The league folded in 2012.

Hagen then moved with Kelly when Kelly took the University of Texas job after the 2011 season.

“I wasn’t just going to take any head coaching job,” said Hagen, who led Carmel to the IHSAA state title in 2000 and was named the state’s player of the year. “I was in a good spot being an assistant and being in big-time programs. It was definitely going to take the right fit and the right time.

Obviously, Colorado State checked all those boxes.”

Hagen said she was impressed with the

leadership of athletic director Joe Parker, who had been with several other athletic departments.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 season was moved to the spring of 2021 and the Rams finished 2-4-1.

“We’ve had one winning season in 2019 (12-5-3) and those players are still on our roster,” she said. “I feel we can continue to build on that. The state of Colorado has some really good talent.”

Hagen’s mother, Kim TenBrink, teaches physical education at Carmel High School.

One of Hagen’s assistant coaches, Eric Masters, is a former CHS goaltender.

“He’s a year older than me and we reconnected a few years ago,” Hagen said. “It’s kind of a neat story in itself because my mom was his PE teacher.”

Masters was previously an assistant at the University of North Dakota.

OBITUARY Reverend Wayne Allen Patton of Carmel, Indiana ran enthusiastically into the arms of his Savior on Friday, July 23, 2021 after 92 years of love, laughter, and selfless ministry here on earth. We rejoice, knowing that he is at the gates of heaven reunited with his loving wife Norma, members of his family, and the countless souls he shepherded during his life.

Wayne was born on February 27, 1929 in Berea, Kentucky to Russell R. and Luella Adeline Patton.

He was a loving and protective older brother to his two sisters Margaret (Therkelsen) and Edith (Stamper). As a young boy growing up in the hills of Kentucky, his adventuresome spirit led him and his young comrades into many outlandish escapades – the stuff Kentucky folklore is made of. These tales and others made their way into a rich collection of stories from Wayne’s life that he recently chronicled – his final precious gift to his family.

Wayne went on to become a talented multi-sport high school athlete with a particular passion for basketball. He attended Kentucky Wesleyan College (1947-’49), Asbury College (1949-’51, Bachelor of Arts), Asbury Seminary (1951-‘53/’55, Bachelor of Divinity), Temple School of Theology (1953-’54), and Louisville Presbyterian (1960-’64, Master of Theology). It was at Asbury where he first spotted the inimitable and striking Norma Jean Hicks in a yearbook photo, and sought her out for a first date. In the months that followed, their conversations flowed easily over Coca Colas and 5-cent hot dogs (because Wayne never passed up a bargain). Their mutual love for the Lord united them and they were married on August 30, 1954.

Theirs was a partnership and love story that inspired everyone they met for the next 65 years.

Wayne faithfully followed divine promptings in every season of his life. With Norma by his side, his calls to ministry included building a church from the ground up in the Appalachian mountains, trekking through the country in a tiny airstream

trailer to hold countless revivals and tent meetings, and serving as a Methodist minister for numerous churches in the Kentucky and Indiana Conferences for 28 years. His remarkable career later included working with the Institute for American Church Growth and founding Outreach Ministries Incorporated. After he officially retired, Wayne served one final church – Salem United Methodist Church in Zionsville, Indiana, and the people of this congregation always held a special place in his heart.

Wayne was the type of Reverend who always answered the phone (even at 2 AM for a parishioner in crisis), and always answered the door (even for a couple who wanted to be married on the spot – which he did). He was particularly passionate about the importance and power of prayer. If you knew Wayne Patton, chances are you have been specifically prayed for by him. Wayne also made a profound impact on the spiritual lives of many through his writing, most notably in his book entitled “The Divine Visitor,” now in its second printing. Wayne was both scholar and servant; he balanced impressive theological intellect with genuine childlike faith. But don’t get us wrong, he never missed an opportunity to mention that he was a man of the cloth if it might merit a discount on a haircut, dishwasher or dessert.

When it came to his family, nothing brought Wayne more joy than his three children – Russell, Nancy and Eva, and his three grandchildren – Kara, Laura and Liz. He was fiercely protective and proud to be a Dad and a “Papaw.” His love for his children and grandchildren spilled over into a love for lessfortunate children. He was known for bundling up his three granddaughters at Christmas and taking them on his excursions to find children in need that he could surprise with an envelope of cash, as he told them with his warm smile, “God loves you.”

His commitment to Christ only deepened and his spirit only sweetened as he lived this last season of life. When his beloved Norma Jean entered heaven in January of 2020, he rejoiced that

she had received her eternal reward. During the past year and a half, he has been a magnificent example of faith and resilience to all of us in his family as he navigated the strange and often solitary days of the pandemic without her by his side, and he did so with unyielding grace, kindness and positivity. He never stopped reaching out to others; he loved his caregivers at Sunrise on Old Meridian like family and he was known for stopping them on their rounds to ask them how they were doing, and to pray for them.

We will miss his booming laugh around the dinner table and how he wove the phrase ‘lo and behold’ into every story. We will miss traveling with him to the Holy Land, Myrtle Beach (heaven on earth according to Wayne), and Brown County. At Christmas, we will miss the conviction with which he always sang “The First Noel” a few stanzas too early at the Christmas Eve service, his signature pecan brittle, and his sacrosanct telling of the Christmas story complete with Santa hat and his own improvisational details.

We will miss him terribly. But we do not grieve without hope, because we know that we will walk the shores of glory – together with him – someday too, and in the meantime, he has been greeted with the warmest heavenly welcome: Well done, good and faithful servant.

Wayne’s spirit lives on in his son Rev. Russell Patton (Kim); daughters Nancy Palmer (Bill), and Eva Patton; granddaughters Liz Erb (Brock), Laura Graham (Jeffrey), and Kara Bender (Peter); and great granddaughter Nora Lyn Bender.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 28, 2021 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Carmel United Methodist Church, Carmel, Indiana. A celebration of life service will follow at 12:00 PM. If you wish to honor Wayne with a donation, please consider the Asbury University (or Seminary) Student Scholarship Fund (Asbury.edu/giving), or the United Methodist Children’s Home (iumch.org) – both causes close to his heart.

Couple relocates from NYC to open fitness studio, raise family

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

all fitness levels. Its instructors have dance backgrounds and incorporate movements to music into the classes.

“We always joke our biggest competitor is Netflix,” Lupton said. “You have to get people out, but once they’re out and they start moving, they realize how good it feels.”

Besides New York City, Physique 57 has locations in Westport, Conn., Dubai, India and China. Lupton and Lopez thought Carmel’s Midtown area on the Monon Greenway seemed a natural fit.

“The mindset of the people who are passing by, everyone is active,” Lupton said. “Also, what’s really great is that you have this sense of community. You could have a family that’s (in Midtown Plaza) for an afternoon, and somebody says, ‘I’m going to run and do a workout really quick,’ and it’s easy, everything is at your fingertips. You don’t have to plan your whole day around the workout.”

Christian Lopez and Leslie Lupton could have moved anywhere in the world, but in 2019 they chose to relocate from New York City to Carmel.

They didn’t have friends or family here, and their jobs could be done from anywhere. But after a bit of research, they decided on Carmel to raise their two daughters for the city’s urban feel, top-ranked schools, low cost of living and more.

Many of their friends thought they were crazy. But two years and one pandemic later, they haven’t looked back.

“It’s met my expectations. The people have been really warm and good and friendly, and for the most part it’s been amazing,” said Lopez, who goes by “Papi.” “For us, the ability to do things is just so much easier than I thought it was going to be.”

The married couple brought a slice of New York City with them by recently opening Physique 57 fitness studio along the Monon Greenway in Midtown. They enjoyed the barre workouts for years in New York and couldn’t find anything comparable in Carmel.

“We thought it would be really great if Indiana had the best parts of New York, the workouts, the food, just not the ridiculous cost of living and crowds,” said Lupton, who also works as a digital operations consultant.

‘WE MOVED FOR CHOICE’ When the family decided they wanted to leave New York City, they first considered Austin, Texas, Charlotte, N.C., Denver, Seattle, Chicago and even Barcelona. Indiana wasn’t on their radar, but after a friend suggested they consider Indianapolis, they began researching the area.

Lupton had grown up in Anderson and attended Indiana University but knew little about Carmel, especially since she had spent the last 20 years in New York City. But once the family visited the city, they were hooked.

The family built a home in WestClay — a community Lopez described as “Disneyland” — and quickly connected to their new city through sports, the schools and elsewhere.

Lopez, a business development consultant, said he met many neighbors who have relocated to Carmel from throughout the U.S. and abroad, but he’s one of the few that moved simply for the city itself.

“A lot of folks we met moved here for work,” he said. “We didn’t move for work. We moved for choice. We wanted to come here.”

Lopez said there are a few things he misses about New

York City, such as certain international restaurants and chatter in the streets about the Yankees. However, he said he’s found vendors and restaurateurs in the Hoosier state that rival those in the Big Apple; it just takes a bit more work to find them.

From homemade tacos made by a lady who brings them to construction workers to the best baklava he’s ever had at Little Cairo on Carmel’s Main Street, Lopez has discovered international flavor in his new city as well.

“It’s a global community,” he said.

AN ACTIVE MINDSET Lopez and Lupton plan to stay in Carmel long term, especially after opening Physique 57 as the first retail tenant in The Railyard mixed-use development.

Lupton described Physique 57 as offering an “individualized group workout” that can be customized for people of

“WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF INDIANA HAD THE BEST PARTS OF NEW YORK, THE WORKOUTS, THE FOOD, JUST NOT THE RIDICULOUS COST OF LIVING AND CROWDS.”

“(WestClay) has wonderful pathways to bike and run. In New York, they don’t have those, so it’s really hard to ride on the side of a busy road.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Stew of questions

Happy days here again

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

For many of us, the lockdowns and closed restaurants precipitated by the pandemic and our reaction to it led to a renewed interest in the food we eat.

For months, it was nearly impossible to purchase the ingredients for us to make our own bread. The lowly yeast packet was elevated to a highly prized and often hoarded treasure. Still, benefitted by countless cookbooks that we’d not touched in years, or by the ubiquitous nature of the internet query (ask your browser how to boil an egg and you will find nearly infinite advisors), we came to experiment with home cooking. The plebeian meatloaf became an Epicurean delight. And common stew was explored in every variation.

There is Irish stew, but it is only the beginning. Wikipedia’s page, List of stews, outlines a few, 177 to be exact, with advice on ingredients and preparation strategies. So, the earnest among us might undertake to experiment a bit.

Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, a bit of meat, maybe it is seafood, and spices to bring it all together. Into the pot or pan it goes, and with some time and attention, voilà — we have stew. All the ingredients, measured, prepared and warmed together, over time, deliver a tasty treat.

But what if we’ve allowed our concoction to become under salted? Well, wouldn’t we add a bit more salt? But what if we’ve allowed our concoction to become too salty? That is trickier. We could start again — throwing out all ingredients and the time to prepare them.

Or could we simply put in more stew until it is to our taste? Even as we continue to grow our ongoing melting pot, if we don’t like the flavor, do we dispose of it all or instead consider how to offset the abundance of deleterious spice?

What a difference a year makes! I’ve said this often, but when I look back over the past 12 months, it couldn’t be more apt.

In August of 2020, almost this same week, I had been banished from school for a 10-day quarantine thanks to our youngest daughter contracting COVID-19.

She and a group of her besties had gone to a belated graduation party with no masks, and then on to a restaurant where they shared straws (I’m shaking my head as I type. What dummies!). I hadn’t even met all of my students at that point because we were on an alternating block, hybrid, whackadoodle schedule that had me periodically questioning my commitment to teaching.

In August of 2020, my father was still with us. He was in the final stages of cancer, confined to a hospital bed in the den of the house I’d grown up in, feisty and curmudgeonly, but slowly losing the fight. I spent more hours with Dad last summer than I had since I’d been a teenager, soaking up as much of him as I could.

In August of 2020, we as a nation were holding our collective breath as the presidential election campaigns began to intensify and the calls for social justice continued to increase. The unknown direction of both kept me awake many a night.

But in August of 2021, my classroom is once again filled with energy and excitement and real live human beings; Dad is no longer suffering and has become quite the guardian angel; and the nation, though far from healed, feels less on the brink. What a difference a year makes.

Peace out.

Council, CRC culpable in hotel cost Editor, Carmel has the swankiest hotel in the state, and we overpaid for it!

A final report regarding the Hotel Carmichael’s cost debacle has been released and responded to by a few. This is a fouryear case study of mismanagement, poor communication, politics and failing to hold those accountable.

The report provides 10 sophomoric recommendations, one of which is to have one Carmel City Council member on the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. I’m bewildered why these recommendations have not been in place since the start of the CRC? The CRC’s executive director’s “comment dodging” falls pitifully short: “The hotel has

hosted an international conference and just posted its first $1 million revenue month, so I’m focused on the next 100 years of value and civic pride the Carmichael will bring to taxpayers.”

I was expecting, “We have already implemented many of the report’s recommendations and will continue working closely with the city council and other entities to ensure all future projects are professionally managed.”

Fundamental project governance behaviors and actions were not followed, resulting in avoidable outcomes and excess expenses.

Let’s hope it never happens again.

Books should remain in CCS libraries Editor, I am writing in response to the controversy regarding books in Carmel Clay Schools libraries that supposedly contain explicit materials. I urge the superintendent and the CCS school board not to bend to the juvenile antics of a small group of parents so shocked by what they read that they were unable to stop reading the material out loud.

The books under discussion should remain in CCS libraries. The fact that a book sits on a library shelf does not mean it will be read. After all, people do not watch every single film or TV series available on Netflix.

Children who want to read these books will read them. Those who don’t will not.

Far from being the object of mockery, books like those under discussion serve an important purpose. Research on gender and

sexual orientation indicates that children as young as 5 or 6 can begin to question these aspects of their identity, while middle school and high school-age students have engaged in masturbation and sexual activity since time immemorial. Where is the harm in a curious child or young adult seeking out information that explains that there is nothing wrong with what they are thinking or doing? The actions of parents on July 26 amount to a public shaming of young people in these situations.

I fear a small minority of parents advancing a far-right political agenda under the guise of concern for children far more than I do the possibility that my children might discover a book about positive sexual behavior or identity in a school library.

Luke Reader, Carmel

A responsibility to one another Editor, We are all experiencing frustration, anger, sadness and fear centered around COVID-19.

We need to highlight the united in the United States of America to fully eradicate this virus.

COVID-19 spreads easily and really smart scientists and medical personnel tell us that it is best contained by wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Washing hands and social distancing also help. When we continue to argue about these facts, we continue to see surges from variants of this virus.

Schools are opening and we don’t have

a mandate to wear masks. The “optional” stand many state elected officials are taking leaves parents confused, teachers worried, health care professionals exhausted, and students and our larger community vulnerable to contracting COVID. Should we place the safety of our children and ourselves above arguments about our “individual freedoms”? My individual freedoms do not allow me to jeopardize the freedom of others. We have a responsibility to one another.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Marc Allan is a good friend, and until recently, we talked about four times a day. True, I was the one who HUMOR always called him, but I don’t really keep track of stuff like that. However, I think now the relationship may be over. I have deleted him from my contact list.

Not sure why, but Marc was the recipient of every butt-dial call I made. It got to the point that when Marc answered the phone, he’d say: “Is this an intentional call? Do you have something to actually say to me?” After bothering him so many times, I prepared for this embarrassing situation in case it happened again.

“Hi, Dick. What’s up?”

“Oh, hi. Marc? I called to er … um … is that Fred the Mastodon exhibit still on display?

I’ve been thinking about coming to see it.”

Marc, who is the director of communication at the Indiana State Museum, knew I had no interest in mastodons. But he asked me to mention in this column their new exhibit featuring Indiana’s best artists — to pay him back for pestering him four times

Tom Roush Mazda Your Local Dealer Since 1972 Dealer Since 1972 Your Your Local Local Dealer Since 1972

a day and for allowing me to use his real name in this story.

I asked some of my techie friends how I could avoid making these unintentional calls. One suggested that Marc’s last name begins with an A, and the phone automatically calls the first name on my contact list when I sit on the device. That’s when I deleted his contact info. About an hour later, the phone rang.

It got to the point that when Marc answered the phone, he’d say: “Is this an intentional call? Do you have something to actually say to me?”

– DICK WOLFSIE “Dick, it’s Ashley at Nationwide Insurance.

Are you OK?” “Yes, why do you ask?”

“You called me three times this morning but didn’t speak. Have you been in an accident?”

“Kind of. I rear-sended Marc Allan several times yesterday.”

Ashley asked why I was now calling her. I

explained that she was next on my contact list alphabetically and that unless I spent the rest of my life standing up, she could possibly be hearing from me several times a day. She requested that I delete her from my contacts as well.

“Wait, what will I do if I really need to call you?” I asked.

“How about changing my name to Zelda?”

I’ve never had a problem like this with anyone else. Berl, my college newspaper editor, never got a butt-dial call from me. Neither have my nephew, Barry, or my best friend, Bob. I decided to sit down and think about this. But just when I got comfortable, I heard my phone start dialing. This was frustrating. I had no idea who I had accidentally called, but I quickly fished the phone out of my back pocket to be ready for whoever answered.

I was pretty sure their name would start with the letter B.

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan It always seems like kids are outgrowing their shoes. This can make it tempting to use online shopping platPODIATRY forms for back-to-school shoes. But getting the right fit for children’s shoes is key to preventing foot problems, and the best fittings happen in stores, with professional help (no, the shoe stores did not pay me to write this article). Check out these fitting tips, so your child will be school-ready while being free from bothersome foot pain.

Signs of wear Even if your child hasn’t outgrown his or her shoes, it still might be time for a new pair. Over time, the cushioning and arch support of shoes wears down. And that could lead to heel pain. Your child’s risk for tendonitis, sprains and fractures goes up when shoes lose their shock absorption.

How can you spot a worn-out shoe? A supportive shoe shouldn’t bend in the midsole area (but it can be flexible in the toe area). And if there is any kind of damage around the edges of the sole, it’s ready for replacing.

Find the fit Once you’re in the shoe store, have a professional measure your child’s foot (if left and right are different lengths, fit the shoe to the larger foot). Even when you know the right shoe size, you must remember that different brands create different-size fits.

To make sure your child walks comfortably, his or her shoes should leave about a finger’s width of room between the shoe edge and your child’s big toe. While it’s tempting to leave extra room, that’s a bad idea. Your child’s feet will slide around in roomy shoes. And that can lead to toe injury and a higher risk of ingrown toenails.

Unique conditions If your child has flat feet, extra help may be needed. Because flat feet tend to spread wide, styles with roomy toe boxes may fit best. Plenty of arch support will help your child avoid foot pain.

Hamilton County leads the way in vaccination efforts Commentary by Fred Glynn I once had a conversation with one of our Hamilton County mayors who referred to county government PANDEMIC as the back-of-the-house restaurant function that is vital to the business, but customers do not always see. Some of the most important functions that serve all county citizens are done on the county level.

When the pandemic started, our Emergency

Management Dept. and Health Dept. moved quickly and decisively. Numerous volunteers were recruited and trained. Mass vaccination sites were opened at Riverview Hospital and the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. Currently, there are 50-plus vaccination sites in our county. When I received the vaccine at Riverview hospital, it was a well-organized and flawless process from start to finish.

As a result of all this hard work, 198,421 Hamilton County residents were fully vaccinated as of Aug. 5. Westfield has the high-

est vaccination rate at 93.7 percent, while Carmel is at 80 percent. Overall, 70.7 percent of eligible Hamilton County residents have been fully vaccinated. Because of these high vaccination numbers, counties surrounding Hamilton are seeing much higher infection rates than we are.

With this type of success, some politicians will try and take credit for other people’s accomplishments. Personally, I would like to thank our leaders that work behind the scenes, (such as) our Hamilton County

pandemic leaders from the Hamilton County Health Dept., Hamilton County Emergency Management and every other county government official that put in the work. Hats off to you and God bless.

South College opening in Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com South College is establishing a campus in Carmel.

Founded in Knoxville as Knoxville Business College in 1882, the EDUCATION college is adding branch campuses this fall in Carmel and Orlando to raise its total to seven. Steve South purchased the college in 1989 and the name was changed in 2002. South serves as chancellor.

The campus, 301 PennThurston sylvania Pkwy., is in the entire bottom floor of the office building.

Although the 32,000-square-foot campus is in Carmel, it will be identified as the Indianapolis campus on the college’s website.

“We tend to emphasize health care-related jobs,” said Tim Thurston, South College’s director of community partnership development. “Our philosophy is all about jobs.

Across the nation, health care, along with IT, are the most in-growth industries we see.”

The Carmel campus will start by offering medical assisting and associate of science in health science, or pre-nursing, courses.

“We are working on getting approval to have (licensed practical nurse certification) and (Bachelor of Science in Nursing), which

South College’s Carmel campus will occupy the bottom floor of the building at 301 Pennsylvania Pkwy. (Image courtesy of South College)

are in our flagship programs at other campuses,” said Thurston, a retired Air Force colonel. “Enrollment will be an online, hybrid schedule until it is all built out.”

The president of the campus in Carmel is Turner South, Steve South’s son.

The private college’s other branches are in Nashville, Tenn; Asheville, N.C.; and Atlanta, Ga. There are two campuses in Knoxville.

“We don’t plan on falling apart like some of our competitors are that are small, and they come in and just aren’t able to last,” Thurston said.

Thurston said business and psychology programs will eventually be offered at the Carmel campus, but medical fields will remain the main focus for courses.

Thurston said South College offers certificate programs up through the doctorate level.

DISPATCHES Kroger, Lyft partner on vaccination initiative — Kroger Health, the health care division of The Kroger Co., has partnered with Lyft Healthcare, Inc., the health care subsidiary of rideshare company Lyft, Inc., to provide access to discounted rides to and from COVID-19 vaccine appointments. Individuals can visit kroger.com/covidvaccine to schedule a vaccine appointment and will receive a Lyft ride code with the appointment confirmation in certain markets. The code will provide $12 per ride, covering travel to and from each scheduled appointment. Patients can then request their ride to a nearby Kroger Family of Pharmacies or The Little Clinic location using the free Lyft app.

Fiber to fight diabetes – New research shows that people who are willing to more than double the fiber in their diets from 16 to 37 grams per day can better control diabetes. It needs to be a high amount of diverse types of fibers. Getting nearly 40 grams may sound like a tall order, but it’s

actually not that hard and it could make a radical difference in your blood sugar level by increasing insulin production.

Needler’s to open Aug. 20

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After more than four years, Brookshire Village Shoppes will soon be anchored by a grocery store once again.

GROCERY Needler’s Fresh Market, 4755 E 126th St., plans to celebrate its grand opening at 10 a.m. Aug. 20 with festivities that include music, food samples and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.

The shopping center’s anchor site was previously home to O’Malia Food Market, which closed in summer 2017 when its parent company, Marsh supermarket, went out of business. A sale of the shopping center fell through in spring 2019, but it was purchased later in the year by real estate investment firm KennMar for $6.4 million.

The entire shopping center has received a facelift, thanks to $2.5 million in bonds approved by the Carmel City Council in 2020. Needler’s 10-year lease was dependent on the bonds being approved. KennMar and Needler’s anticipated spending an additional $5 million in upgrades.

Needler’s will operate in a slightly smaller space than the former O’Malia Food Market.

It will include handcrafted pizza, homemade cookies and doughnuts, and a fresh chop shop

where customers can have salads made to order. It also will be home to Lemon’s Café, which will serve Hubbard and Cravens coffee, Rosie’s baked goods and Oberweiss Dairy ice cream.

“Our goal is to make the Carmel store the friendliest and freshest offering in the market, where customers can find all of their local favorites and many new ones,” Store Director Kyle Jorns stated in a press release. “We may not be the biggest, but we can definitely be the best.”

The store will be managed by Fresh Encounter, Inc., which is owned by brother and sister Michael Needler Jr. and Julie Needler Anderson.

Fresh Encounter manages 100 retail stores, including 11 Needler’s Fresh Market locations in Indiana and western Ohio.

DISPATCHES Shiftlab acquired — iQmetrix, a provider of telecom retail management software, has acquired Carmel-based Shiftlab, a scalable, performance-based scheduling platform designed for retail organizations. The two companies are joining forces to continue to bring data-driven, AIbased workforce management solutions to the market. The acquisition serves as a product investment for iQmetrix to expand its platform and will support revenue growth for both companies.

Zotec Foundation grants — The Zotec Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Carmel-based Zotec Partners, recently announced grants totaling $500,000 to Indiana nonprofits serving youth. The foundation provided 20 grants totaling $25,000 each to organizations focused on mentoring and healthy outcomes, as well as information technology education and training. Hamilton County nonprofit Ascent 121 is among the grant recipients. Learn more at zotecpartners. com/zotec-foundation.

July home sales — July was a robust seller’s market for residential real estate in the City of Carmel. According to F.C. Tucker Company, the average sale price for a home in Carmel increased 15.8 percent to $547,803 compared to July 2020. Carmel homes also sold very quickly — 66.7 percent faster than this time last year — selling in just 9 days on average. The average price per square foot for a home in Carmel continued to increase, up 16.2 percent to $191.30.

Use PayPal, Venmo at Market District — Market District, which is owned by Giant Eagle, is now accepting PayPal and Venmo payments at the register. Giant Eagle, which also owns GetGo convenience stores, is the first grocery store chain in the U.S. to offer these payment methods at the register. The move is in response to research that shows customers have been using digital wallets more frequently than before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

New owners at frame shop

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Tony McGuire, downtown Carmel is the perfect location for his second picture framing shop.

RETAIL McGuire and his wife, Paige, took ownership Aug. 1 of The Great Frame Up, 21 1st St. SW. “We’ve always loved the building and the location,” McGuire said. “The shop has its own unique feel that’s very comfortable for everyone who stops in.”

McGuire said it’s great to be a part of the city’s history. The building was originally built in 1890 as the first doctor’s office in Carmel for Dr. L.S. Campbell. It was relocated to the current site in 1921. Dr. J.T. McShane purchased the home and later sold it to Dr. K.C. Hershey, one of the oldest practicing physicians in Hamilton County. Hershey, who was also the Hamilton County coroner at the time, was the last physician to use the house as a medical office.

The McGuires purchased The Great Frame Up from Dawn and Mark Fraley, who owned it for 22 years.

Dawn Fraley, who has been framing for 34 years, started working at The Great Frame Up on the north side of Indianapolis when she was 16.

“The timing was just right to sell,” Dawn Fraley said. “My husband works in Chicago and we would like to live in the same city again. The (COVID-19 pandemic) helped me to realize that I was ready to make the leap of selling and moving to Chicago.”

Dawn Fraley said she plans to move from Carmel later this year. Mark has worked in Chicago for 10 years in the commuter marriage.

The McGuires also own The Great Frame Up in downtown Indianapolis.

“I managed that location for a number of

years before taking over ownership about five years ago,” Tony said. “My wife, Paige, and I see it is a family business. We’re hopeful that our son can join us in the shop one day as well.”

The couple, who live in Indianapolis, have a 2-year-old son, Ellis.

“It really could not have gone any smoother,” Tony said of the transition.

“Dawn and I approach managing a business in very similar ways, and the team that she has put together here could not be any better.”

The Great Frame Up has been in its present location since 2007. In 1990, Bruce and Scott Westphal opened a new Great Frame Up store in Village Park Plaza on Greyhound Pass.

“I was asked to set up and manage that store,” Dawn said. “Eight years later we purchased that store from them. We purchased the property where the store is currently located in 2005 and moved the store to that location in February 2007.”

Classical Mystery Tour makes Carmel Symphony Orchestra debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jim Owen wanted to create a new twist on a tribute band to The Beatles.

He wanted to back CONCERT The Beatles’ music by an orchestra.

“Long story short, I made it happen,” said the 54-year-old Owen, who started Classical Mystery Tour in 1996.

Classical Mystery Tour will be joined by Carmel Symphony Orchestra at 7 p.m. Sept.

5 at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel.

This is the group’s first time playing with CSO. However, CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes has worked with the Classical Mystery Tour previously with another orchestra.

Hymes described the group as the most high-quality tribute band because, in her view, the “guys look and sound like The Beatles.”

Originally playing George Harrison when the group launched, Owen moved to the John Lennon role a few years later and remained there.

Tony Kishman, who plays Paul McCartney, has been in the role since the start.

Chris Camilleri, who plays Ringo Starr, has been with the group since its second show, which was in 1997.

Playing with an orchestra sets Classical Mystery Tour apart from other Beatles tribute groups.

“We generally play with 20 or 30 orchestras a year,” Owen said. “Sometimes, it’s just a one-night show, and sometimes it’s two, three or four nights.”

Owen said Classical Mystery Tour has played at Conner Prairie several times, with and without the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

“They told us they like the energy without the orchestra, but what makes us special is the orchestra,” he said. “I always prefer and love playing with an orchestra.”

Owen said both indoor and outdoor concerts have their strengths and weaknesses.

“Outdoor is really great for that kind of festival atmosphere,” Owen said.

The concert will open with an orchestra overture.

“The rest of the concert is us with the orchestra together,” Owen said. “It’s a re-creation of the original Beatles recordings. We play whatever The Beatles played, guitar, bass and drums, vocals. The orchestra plays at the same time whatever was done on the original recordings.”

For example, Kishman, as McCartney, plays acoustic guitar on “Yesterday,” backed up by a string quartet.

“It’s done exactly like the original,” Owen said. “Then there are more full songs. Like “I Am the Walrus” had more strings and French horns.”

Owen said the early Beatles hits didn’t use any orchestra.

“As they got into the middle ‘60s and late ‘60s, you’d be surprised how many of their songs used full or partial orchestra,” Owen said. “Our opener song (‘Got to Get You into My Life’) is from the ‘Revolver’ album in 1966, and it is has saxophones and trumpets, kind of like a Motown sound to it. That’s what we use is four trumpets

and four saxophones to recreate the sound.”

Early on, Classical Mystery Tour didn’t play early Beatles songs because it didn’t want to create an orchestral arrangement.

“Fans appreciate the respect we put into it,” Owen said of the music.

Owen said fans said they missed the early Beatles songs.

“We started adding early songs like ‘I Saw Her Standing There,’ and maybe something like ‘A Hard Day’s Night,’” Owen said.

Owen said he is contemplating doing a similar idea with all different songs from the 1960s.

“There are a lot of really neat songs with orchestral arrangements,” he said.

“That’s something we have in the works to do in the next year or two.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic hitting in mid-March of 2020, the group played only two shows, including one in Terre Haute, in the summer last year.

Owen said since April, the schedule has been closer to normal.

GHDT goes ‘Under the Big Top’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock regards “Under the Big Top” as one of his underrated pieces.

“It’s a nice piece, and someDANCE times it gets overshadowed by some of our bigger pieces,” Hancock said. “‘Under the Big Top’ is a lot of fun but it’s also poignant, touching and funny and light and sweet. Being a repertoire company, it’s nice to bring pieces back and see them performed by older cast members.

“Our company is strong now with good acting skills. It’s nice to see character development during this process.”

Hancock said the show debuted in 2010 and returned in 2013.

“Under the Big Top” will be presented at 7 p.m. Aug. 26-28 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The show is about an Eastern European circus and the circus characters, such as lion tamer, clowns, fortune teller, high-wire walkers, knife throwers and sideshow performers.

Company dancer Abigail Lessaris was a student performer in the 2010 presentation.

She was a student and company dance intern when it was staged in 2013.

“This time I’m a member of the traveling circus, and all of the dancers portray different parts throughout the whole show,” Lessaris said. “One of my more featured parts is as the veiled lady. I am enjoying the ensemble dancing. We work well together as a team.”

Lessaris said all the costumes are colorful.

“A lot of moments are fun and comical,” Lessaris said. “But there are some moments that pull you in emotionally. It’s a good show for adults and children alike.”

The 2018 Carmel High School graduate will perform at 8 p.m.

Aug. 20 in a concert from the new musical “Hamlet” in the Frank and Katrina Basile Theatre at the Indiana Historical Society in

“This is an incredible Miller and rare opportunity to perform alongside these talented artists,”

Miller said. “I’ve never had the opportunity to work with Broadway performers in a cast setting, and I’m so excited to see how we create art from all different walks of life. I’m also very proud to share the stage with several others from Carmel, a place that values and supports the performing arts.”

Discovering Broadway founder Joel Kirk, a 2012 CHS graduate, also is the director of “Hamlet,” which is in the formation stage before it lands on Broadway. The “Hamlet” writers’ retreat begins Aug. 17 at the Hotel

Carmichael in Carmel.

Other Carmel High School graduates performing are Jenn Maurer (2010), Kelly Krauter (2010), Eric Wiegand (2014), Kyle Caress (2014), Jake Letts (2017) and Jack Ducat (2021).

RIVET Coffee Bar

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 337 Jersey St., Westfield What to get: Liege waffle Price: $4 Anna’s take: One of my favorite snacks in the world is a liege waffle, with thick batter, uneven edges and delicious pearls of sugar. I often find mine during the summer at various farmers markets. However, RIVET Coffee Bar recently opened near downtown

Plain liege waffle with butter is $4. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Westfield, and its liege waffle is so good, I ordered mine plain for $4 with a side of butter. There are other waffle options, such as a liege waffle with blueberry and lemon mascarpone or strawberry and Nutella.

But in my opinion, the waffle is best plain and enjoyed with a warm latte. I also tried RIVET’s Egg-Witch ($8), a whole wheat bagel with a pesto-baked egg and Tomme de Nena cheese. RIVET has an adorable café with a beautiful porch, part of which is uniquely built around trees to preserve them rather than cut them down, which I really liked.

An apprisal of appraisals Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Mary Knebel, left, and her father, Don Knebel, on the Dentzel Carousel. (Photo courtesy of Don Knebel)

History of the Dentzel Carousel Commentary by Don Knebel Growing up in Star City, Ind., I occasionally visited Logansport’s Riverside Park, riding what I called its “merryTRAVEL go-round.” Today, Logansport’s Dentzel Carousel is one of Indiana’s 43 National Historic Landmarks.

In 1860, 20-year-old Gustav Dentzel came to Philadelphia from Germany, where his father had taught him to carve carousel animals. In 1867, Gustav opened the Dentzel Carousel Co., producing two or three carousels a year featuring lifelike horses and other animals carved from bass and linden wood. In 1900, the Fort Wayne Consolidated Railway Co. obtained a Dentzel carousel for its Robinson Park. The carousel’s 38-animal wooden menagerie consisted of horses, reindeer, goats, giraffes, a lion and a tiger.

When Robinson Park closed in 1919, a private owner moved the carousel to Logansport’s Spencer Park. In 1949, a subsequent owner moved the carousel to Riverside Park and housed it in an open-sided pavilion near the Eel River. The carousel featured a metal chute filled with 69 steel rings and one

brass ring. Riders on the outside animals reached for the rings. Anyone grabbing the brass ring received a free ride.

In 1972, Logansport Jaycees raised money to purchase the carousel so that it would remain in Riverside Park. In 1987, the carousel, one of the three oldest in the United States, was designated a National Historic Landmark, as was another of the three oldest, now in the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. Logansport’s Dentzel Carousel was restored in 1993 and moved to an enclosed building just east of its original pavilion. In 1999, an electric band organ was added to the carousel, complete with bells, drums and a flag-waving miniature conductor beating time. Volunteers with the nonprofit Cass County Carousel, Inc., operate the carousel. A ride costs $1 and anyone grabbing the brass ring still receives a free ride.

Is it buy low and sell high, or vice versa? All I know is that it’s not a good idea to buy while high. Either way, all this house market GRAMMAR GUY hullabaloo got me to thinking: What’s the difference between the words “appraise” and “apprise?” I have a feeling it’s time for a refresher.

These two words share so much in common. Both words are verbs. They have incredibly similar spellings. Not only that, but both have their roots in French. “Appraise” comes from the Old French word “appriser,” which means “to set a value on.” We get “apprise” from the French word “appris,” which means “to inform, give notice or advise.” Appraise, appriser.

Apprise, appris. Are you surprised we confuse these words?

I’ll cut to the chase: “Appraise” and “apprise” do have distinctly different meanings. “Appraise” means “to estimate or assign value” while “apprise” means “to tell or inform.” A Realtor can apprise her clients of the home’s appraisal. In this hot market,

appraisals are coming in unusually high.

Case closed? Not so fast, house hunters!

Another word has crept into existence: “apprize.” Although it’s an uncommon word that appears in English in the 14th century, its definitions include both “to inform” and “to increase in value.” Go home, English; you’re drunk. In theory, your Realtor could apprize that the home you want to buy has granite countertops. As a result, this apprizes the home in your eyes. People love a good granite countertop.

First, I’d advise you to forget you ever learned the word “apprize.” It only confuses things. When you hear “appraise,” think of “raise,” as in value. When you hear “apprise,” think “advise.” I don’t know much about real estate, but I do know about words. And you can’t put a value on using the right word at the right time.
