It will take a few weeks before the puppies are available for adoption.

On Friday, the Humane Society sent an update to Current stating: “We are sad to report that 3 of the 13 puppies in our care have passed away. We are doing everything we can to try and save these precious souls...but this virus is unrelenting.”

Stevens wants to emphasize that all of the medical expenses will be paid for through donations and not taxpayer money. Anyone interested in helping can also call 773-4974 or visit www. hamiltonhumane.com to donate.

Animal control officials recently seized 21 puppies infected with parvovirus and now the Humane Society for Hamilton County Pets is helping treat and find homes for the surviving dogs. On Aug. 11, authorities were tipped off about the pups in an Indianapolis home. The owner voluntarily surrendered the sick dogs and two died that day after being rescued. Another puppy died later in the week as he was weakened by the contagious illness.

The Hamilton County animal shelter – which is no-kill in most circumstances – agreed to help care for 13 of the dogs because the Indianapolis facilities were at capacity.

As it’s been previously reported in Current, the Humane Society for Hamilton County lacks space and often relies on foster homes to care for sick animals. Since there is no quarantine area, HSHC’s veterinary partner Noah’s Animal Hospital, agreed to treat and board the puppies until they were well enough for foster homes.

HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said parvovirus has a high mortality rate because it causes bloody diarrhea that dehydrates the dogs until their organs shut down.

“Getting them on fluids and antibiotics immediately is their best chance, and even at that, some still won’t survive if they’re already malnourished and compromised like the little tan and white hound,” she said. “He was a skeleton.

Girls cross country hopes to help news@currentincarmel.com

When Carmel High School senior Lucy Allan was thinking about what to do to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award — the fundraiser equivalent of the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Scout award — she considered several possible ways to benefit others.

With the start of the school year coming up, she decided on a supply drive to help an Indianapolis Public School.

“I know there are IPS schools that don’t have the advantages that we have, so I wanted to do something to benefit them,” she said.

Allan contacted Linda Broadfoot, the executive director of the IPS Foundation, who referred her to Jennifer Pearson, the principal at IPS No. 51, an urban elementary school in the MartindaleBrightwood neighborhood on the eastside of Indianapolis.

Pearson told her the school has 600 students

in grades pre-K through sixth grade, and 87 percent of the students qualify for free or reducedprice lunch.

Allan asked her teammates on the Carmel girls’ cross country team to help. They worked together to make posters to raise awareness about the project, and they placed bins around the high school to collect donations.

From now until Aug. 29, they’re hoping to receive crayons, markers, colored pencils, regular pencils, scissors, erasers, glue sticks and other items for IPS No. 51.

When the drive ends on the Aug. 29, Allan and several of her teammates will deliver the supplies.

“I hope we’re able to make an impact as a community to help the students at James Russell Lowell School 51,” she said. “Even if the donations are something as simple as a box of crayons, that’s one less thing that the school needs to provide for its students. Every bit makes a difference.”

Board votes against sewage tank

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com A proposal to place above-ground waste water tanks on a church property created a public relations nightmare for the government Clay Township Regional Waste District.

Millbrook neighborhood residents and Carmel city officials have voiced their opposition to placing a million-gallon concrete tank at King of Glory Lutheran Church off of Keystone Parkway. They claim aesthetics, smell and environmental damage would all have a negative effect on property values.

Many board members insist these opinions are misguided, but public opinion remains unchanged.

Realizing that this plan would be unlikely due to this opposition, appointed board members voted unanimously last week to take this plan off the table.

Yet, they left themselves enough wiggle room to possibly bring the plan back in the future.

Some board members kept suggesting that the plan be off the table “for the time being” and “at this moment.” Others argued for a more absolute end to this idea.

“This would be a last resort,” said CTRWD board president Ron Hagan. “We would only do this plan after we exhausted every other possible option.”

Angry residents weren’t happy with this land being considered under any circumstance.

CTRWD board members have tried to educate people about their plan, handing out extensive handouts detailing the project specifications.

But neighbors aren’t convinced. Vince Artale spoke at the meeting, saying his experience dealing with the CTRWD has eroded his trust.

“Our confidence level is extremely low,” he said.

Much of the sentiments were fueled by recent articles detailing a long fight between the City of Carmel and the CTRWD about overflows and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s longstanding support for merging the city sewer facilities with the township.

Hagan appeared defensive about these statements and he shot back at the meeting, calling the comments “mystifying.” He said he’s never had serious discussions about a merger. City Councilor Ron Carter called Hagan’s comments “very disingenuous.”

After several attempts to word it properly, the board finally agreed to approve a motion to eliminate the option of building the tanks “above ground” at this site and would only consider this site if all options are exhausted and if neighbors were contacted. The board also voted to direct officials to thoroughly examine all other options to solve this problem.

The CTRWD board also voted to begin discussions with the City of Carmel to see about the city acquiring the “basin two” area so the city could develop their plan. This motion is a response to merger comments.

“I knew Tom was stubborn enough to overcome the setbacks of his stroke, he just needed the right encouragement.”

Tom’s recovery from the stroke was challenging for both of us. I never doubted that he would walk again—I worried about finding him the best care possible. I was immediately comfortable with the caring staff at Westminster Village North. With each visit, I saw Tom getting stronger. The therapist constantly encouraged him, and kept me involved in his care. Before long, Tom was back on his feet, thanks to his determination and the wonderful staff that treated us like family.

HANDS in autism asking for support

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com HANDS in Autism, an Interdisciplinary Training and Resource Center is hosting Spectrum of Art as a fundraiser and an opeducation portunity for the community to come together in support of autism.

Dr. Naomi Swiezy, Director of HANDS in Autism Interdisciplinary Training and Resource Center, said, “Our center is really about helping individuals, families and care providers to have information they need to be most effective in working to provide the highest potential for those on the spectrum.”

Dr. Swiezy understands the importance of merging communities and is working hard to bridge all the different Autism systems so that those involved are sharing similar information and are on the same page in terms of best practices. She said, “The event is to help support this work and to allow folks to have more access to this information we are providing.”

The hope is to provide community education and really highlight the positives of individuals who are on the spectrum. Most people only know the challenges of these individuals functioning in everyday life, but there are a lot the individuals can do to positively contribute to society.

The Spectrum of Art is a community-wide

event. A callout has been made to those who create artwork that may be categorized under one of the following categories: fine art, mixed media, photography, or digital media. Those who would like to submit original artwork or prints of original artwork are invited to display their work at the gallery by Aug. 22.

Those who attend the event will enjoy a gallery of art accompanied by a booklet that will guide them through the art itself.

Dr. Swiezy said: “This will really give them a sense of the individuals behind the art. It’s not necessarily about the beauty of the art but about the individuals and families.” There will be stories of the inspiration behind the art for attendees to connect to all involved.

“A part of this is that we really do believe that it takes full communities to be able to support individuals and families through funding and awareness so part of doing this event is bringing it to the grassroots and helping facilitate more community help,” Dr. Swiezy said.

The event is Aug. 30 from 5 to 9 p.m. pm at the Art Splash Gallery on 111 W. Main St., Ste. 140.

The Art Show, Silent Auction, and cocktails will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at $50 per person. The VIP Showing and cocktails will be from 5 to 6 p.m. with dinner at Donatello’s from 6 to 8 p.m. at $75 per person. All proceeds will be used to support scholarships and programming for individuals and families with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

CIDE to perform Birthday Variations

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Carmel-based Central Indiana Dance Ensemble celebrated its 15th anniversary last week with a special guest. The pre-professional arts ballet company was chosen by the Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffery Foundation to perform a ballet, Birthday Variations.

This is the first time an Indianapolis-area ballet company has been recognized by the foundation. A choreographer from the Joffery Ballet came to town to teach the piece to the local students.

Artistic director of CIDE, Suzann DeLay, was present in the rehearsals.

“We are thrilled to have received this incredible honor, and it’s a privilege to be able Sagami to perform this beautiful piece during our fifteenth season,” she said.

Kim Sagami, a former Joffrey dancer and secretary of Arpino Joffrey Foundation, worked with CIDE’s senior company last week as well.

Birthday Variations is a classical work commissioned by Becky D’Angelo as a birthday present to her husband. This piece was first performed in 1986 and features six dancers, with the five female dancers representing the five women in his life.

Birthday Variations will be performed at CIDE’s Mixed Rep production in March at The Tarkington

Lifeline Law focus for CHS team Commentary by Jeff Worrell This season is especially important to the seniors on the Carmel High School soccer team.

They are the remainvolunteerism ing team members who actually knew and competed with teammate Brett Finbloom before his tragic death. The team anticipates a packed house during the Make Good Decisions/Brett Finbloom Memorial Soccer Game on Sept. 5, 7:30 p.m. at Murray Stadium.

The game is expected to be exciting as two highly ranked teams come together. But the mission for the game is much more important than who scores the most goals by game’s end. The team will also try to prevent history from repeating itself. That can only happen if the message to “Make Good Decisions” is received by as many of our youth as the stadium will hold.

PJ Gibson is one the seniors who knew Brett.

“I was a freshman when he was a senior. I looked up to him and his death was shocking to me. As seniors this year, we have to honor his memory by raising awareness of the Indiana Lifeline Law,” Gibson said.

The Indiana Lifeline Law provides legal protection to anyone who calls 911 to assist intoxicated people; minors included. Gibson is heading up the planning and organizing to make sure the game encourages teens to Make Good Decisions by

utilizing the law and dialing 911.

Lanyards, sweat bands, bracelets and banners will all proclaim the message: Make A Good Decision. Call 911, Stay, Cooperate, Save a Life. If every seat was filled with a CHS student, open to the message, PJ believes the evening will have been a success.

Brett’s parents, Norm and Dawn Finbloom will be at the game and intend to provide a message to students and parents about Good Decisions and the Indiana Lifeline Law. Senator Jim Merritt, the sponsor of the bill which is now law, will also be in attendance at halftime to speak. Mayor Brainard, Indy Eleven players and Mrs. Indiana are also turning out to show their support.

This isn’t just an issue which hits home at the high school level. News reports last year document college students lost to alcohol abuse, in some cases, due to not receiving help before it was too late. Everyone reading this column should think seriously about encouraging a friend to attend the Sept. 5 event. That is one way to make sure there are no more memorial games in Carmel. Good day, Carmel!

County to bust drug myths news@currentincarmel.com Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen and his department will be hosting a free public education forum crime titled: ‘Heroin, Illegal Drugs, and Underage Drinking.’ Like many communities across the country, Hamilton Co. has experienced an increase in drug and alcohol activity in recent years. All Hamilton Co. residents and concerned citizens are invited to attend this meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 28, at the Hamilton County 4H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

Speakers will include Brandon Robinson who was arrested for involvement in a fatal drunk driving crash; Jeanine Motsay who lost her son to the synthetic drug NBOMe; a recovering heroin addict; and Major A. Dietz of the Hamilton – Boone County Drug Task Force.

“We can’t turn our backs on the increasing problems of illegal drug use and underage drinking that are present in central Indiana and people are asking for information,” sheriff Bowen stated in a press release to Current in Carmel.

“Our goals for the evening are to present current and accurate information on the situation, give ideas on how families and friends can proactively address the prob-

lem, and to honestly answer questions those in the community have.”

The featured panelists will share their own life stories on how they have dealt with drugs and alcohol.

“There is a misconception that drugs and alcohol only affect a certain part of society but we need Hamilton County residents to see the impact of these threats and to join in the fight against the problem,” Bowen stated.

Over the past years, Hamilton County has seen a steady rise in the number of drug arrests, overdoses and underage drinking incidents. Drug overdose reports to the sheriff’s office have risen fourfold since 2010 and the number of drug possession arrests has seen an increase with more than 60 arrests so far in 2014 by the sheriff’s office.

DUI arrests have doubled in the past year. In 2013, more than 600 arrests were made in Hamilton Co. for minor consumption of alcohol and 2014 is on course to equal or surpass that number.

In addition to the featured speakers, resources such as the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office and Probation Office, the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Drugs, Proactive, and other addiction recovery and treatment programs will be available to provide information.

Increased traffic monitoring now through Labor Day

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Traffic Safety Partnership has a very direct message for motorists: Drive sober or get pulled over.

Law enforcement agencies from across Indicrime ana are participating in the national drive sober or get pulled over campaign, which is underway now and lasts through Labor Day. Although officers are constantly on watch for impaired drivers, during this campaign they will be working overtime to identify and apprehend those who disregard the message to drive sober.

In 2013, there were 114 fatal alcohol-impaired collisions in Indiana. This accounted for 16 percent of all fatal crashes in the state. Those most likely to be involved in an alcohol-related crash are between 18 and 44. Between 2012 and 2013 there was a 24 percent decrease in fatal collisions.

“The decrease in the number of fatal crashes is a sign that drivers are responding to our message,” said Hamilton County sheriff’s office spokesman deputy Bryant Orem. “One life lost is too many, so we’ll continue to be out in force to catch those who make the unacceptable decision to drive while impaired.”

Orem said the community can help in getting dangerous drivers off the road.

“If you see someone driving in a manner you suspect to be impaired, there is a high probability you are correct,” Orem said. “Call 9-1-1 immediately and report the location, description, and direction the vehicle is traveling. This will help officers observe the suspect and take necessary action to prevent a possible tragedy.”

New churches, temples and mosques show Carmel is becoming more diverse

By Kristen Yates • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel was once known by another name, Bethlehem, when in 1837 four men settled here. Many of these people were Quakers, living a simple life centered around worship cover story and family. Since then, the world has turned progressive, names have changed, and so have Carmel residents. From Hindus, Catholics, Jews and Muslims, an array of people now call Carmel home.

In recent years, several new temples and churches within the community have taken root and are in the process of expanding, to give these people a place to grow in their faiths. According to the most recent census report, Carmel has almost quadrupled in population from 23,756 people in 1990 to 83,565 in 2012, and the new church and temple buildings are proof of this population growth.

One of the newer places of worship was completed in 2006, when the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church was moved from Pennsylvania Avenue in Indianapolis to 106th Street in Carmel.

Aundrianna Whiteside, a 2010 Carmel High School graduate, moved here at the start of her high school career, at which time she began to attend the new church.

“My mother is half Greek and we have been Whiteside attending this church since its rebirth here in Carmel. Our faith and friends have grown over the past few years that Holy Trinity has been here,” she said. “The Greek community has flourished and now has inspired others to do the same. My church was so convenient for me and my family to attend.”

Whiteside said that having the Greek church in the suburbs has meant that her diverse family can stay in town when they want to worship.

“Having it right there in my community also helped me make friends at my school when I didn’t know anyone else,” she said.

“Every year we hold the Greek Festival in order for the community to experience all things Greek. They can taste our food, sample our

wines, and even take tours through our church.”

Whiteside said she’s happy Carmel is welcoming new religious buildings, because this means the town is becoming more informed, well rounded, and aware of other cultures.

More to come And the Greeks certainly aren’t the only ones worshipping.

Within the next 12 to 18 months, Carmel will be welcoming Kingdom Hall College Park Congregation of Jehovah’s Witness, Indianapolis Indiana Temple of Latter Day Saints, and potentially a new Al Salam Mosque for Muslims.

The Indianapolis Indiana Temple is being built at the corner of 116th Street and Springmill Road and is scheduled to open in 2015.

Kingdom Hall will be built at 10439 Commerce Drive in Retail Parkway is still in the beginning stages of planning.

Carmel Zoning Committee leaders hope to “break ground this fall or early spring of 2015,” said Angie Conn, the Planning Administrator City of Carmel Planning and Zoning Division Dept.

“It is a complementary land use for the adjacent offices to the north and residential neighborhoods to the east,” Conn said.

The Al Salam Foundation, currently based in an office suite at the corner of 96th Street and Michigan Road, will potentially be building a full-scale mosque in Carmel.

“We are looking for a land or a building,” said Assasar Madni, a spokesman for Al Salam and a native of India. “We have [prayer] every Friday at one and we always want to invite the community of Muslims from Carmel and Zionsville. We have land that we were about to purchase but that deal fell through so we are going to keep looking for a place to build or buy.”

••• AND WE STAND FOR THIS WHY? Well, because we’re Americans. The Daily News of London sent out this dispatch last week, just in time to get us additionally riled about useless government spending. Here goes: “Hillary Clinton left her post at the top of the U.S. State Department on Feb. 1, 2013, but the federal government spent more than $55,000 on travel expenses related to her book tour just last month, procurement documents show. The expenses included a $3,668 charge for her to enjoy a single night’s lodging in a suite at the posh Four Seasons George V hotel in Paris.” Need more? We paid $5,100 to rent three Mercedes-Benz VIP vans in Berlin, curiously billed to the Homeland Security Department’s Office of Inspector General. The State Dept. paid for nearly $50,000 of the costs even though Clinton no longer heads the cabinet agency. All this in light of her garnering well into six figures every time she gives a speech?

Clearly, it pays to be a Clinton.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Police state of mind Commentary by Terry Anker Ostensibly because of the enormous U.S. investment in military gear during these past many years to support wars in the Middle East, many municipal police forces are flush with all matter of equipment designed to do many things but likely not to “serve and protect.” As the soldierly surplus is repatriated, it is deployed to awaiting communities. But, is an armored personnel carrier required gear to keep our homes and families safe?

Even as riots are winding down in other Midwestern states following claims of police brutality and zealousness, pundits and community organizers alike are calling for federal oversight of local police authority. Has the thin blue line fattened-up with age? Is it time for a diet?

Should we work to control and out-of-control government force by giving even more power to another government force?

But before we take the guns away from Officer Friendly and call in the Calvary, is the concern misplaced? Public safety officials face an unprecedented rise in amoral and even ruthless

behavior from criminals. Random individuals open fire on busy streets because some passerby dared bump them on a crowded sidewalk. And, veteran officers are murdered in cold blood when responding to a seemingly routine domestic call.

Certainly, government authority must be constrained. The founders expended buckets of ink to warn their progeny of the risks of an endlessly expanding central state. But, is a better equipped and armed police authority a necessary response to an increasingly violent and remorseless felonious element? Can there be an alternative?

As citizens do we fear an increasingly paramilitary state more than an increasingly lawless citizenry? The dichotomy is not a new one. Yet can there be a winner in the ever accelerating arms race between the good guys and bad?

Maybe it is just a state of mind.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

–Pablo Picasso

For the first time in seven years, I completely spaced a back-to-school article! Under ordinary circumstances, I’d have humor happily spent most of July composing a witty summer-sucks and homework-rules piece that debuts just as our little ones are boarding that beautiful yellow bus in August. But if you recall, last week’s lame column dealt with an uneventful vacation to South Carolina. What is WRONG with me?

I’ve thought a lot about possible causes for my literary amnesia and only managed one explanation: I just wasn’t ready for school to start. This is unusual, because normally I’m so irritated with “bored” kids, stupid XBOXes, sunburn prevention, and exponentially-populating fruit flies.

But after barely surviving the horrendous winter as both a teacher and a mother, I needed the summer months of 2014 to get myself pulled back together, physically and mentally. My sanity demanded a break, one devoid of carpooling and lesson planning and the general school year chaos. And my kids are older now (even my youngest can ride a bike by herself to CVS for banned soda and candy), so the usual constant demands for my time and attention weren’t so constant or demanding. In fact, I rarely saw any of my offspring for more than about four hours a day.

I felt like I’d just started to settle in to the stay-at-home mom groove (a much better gig than it was when I had toddlers periodically dumping cherry Kool-Aid down air vents) when registration and orientation information began arriving in the mail. Wait! I’m not ready! I’m assuming my mind put a mental block on the whole event, leading me to write about how hot the South is and how a splinter can ruin the day. Pardon me, I just stifled a yawn.

So I’d like to apologize to parents everywhere for not acknowledging your probablypolitically-incorrect-yet-perfectly-valid feelings of relief and guilt that summer vacay is finally over. Even though I don’t share your sentiments this year, know that I have certainly been in your shoes many times before. I firmly believe that children are not meant to be with their moms and dads for long periods of warm weather, and that school structure and routine are integral to parents staying off the booze.

Next July, please consider emailing a headsup. That should give me plenty of time to write a killer back-to-school bit for the appropriate publication date. Peace out!

Beef & Boards: Where the wind comes sweepin’ down

THIS WEEK

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The first show in the historic collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II was also the first for an enduring theatre Indianapolis partnership.

Doug Stark and his business partner for many years, Bob Zehr, took ownership of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in 1980 and made their mark here with “Oklahoma!”

That 1943 stage adaptation of the novel “Green Grow the Lilacs” launched the Rodgers and Hammerstein brand on Broadway and was also a milestone that established the “book musical” as a favorite American form of entertainment.

On Aug. 21, the seventh B&B production of the perpetual hit show will take the stage at the landmark showplace on Indianapolis’ northwest side.

It is being directed by Stark’s daughter, Elizabeth.

Stark, now sole proprietor, recalled in an interview how the B&B course here was set by his and Zehr’s decision to revive the show with which they had concluded three years of doing business in suburban Louisville.

“We took over the theater just after Thanksgiving,” Stark said. The previous owner, a national dinner-theater chain based in Dallas, Texas, had “1776” onstage, with “a very, very large cast” that was tiring after a 40-week engagement in the chain’s several other regional theaters.

“We replaced that show with ‘Oklahoma!,’” Stark said. “It was not the best of Christmas shows, but we had a really fun cast. We were able to mount it fairly quickly because we had done it in Simpsonville. We could concentrate on selling tickets and getting more audience in here.”

In that era, dinner theaters were a fading fad nationwide. The tendency, Stark said, was to use a “star system,” staging often “substandard shows that wouldn’t have been produced anyplace else” with a household name leading the cast.

Beef & Boards has always mounted its own productions, concentrating on musicals, and featuring stars only to the extent that some of its veterans have become stars to loyal patrons during the past 35 seasons. The operation has bucked the tendency of dinner theaters to fade in a marketplace favoring separation of food and entertainment.

What makes “Oklahoma!” a surefire hit on the B&B schedule? “First, it’s because our audience can relate to it,” starting with the man at the top: “I’m third-generation off the farm,” Stark said. “Something about that kind of story is easily relatable, even with me. I’ve seen surreys, and hawks doing lazy circles in the sky,” he added, alluding to two of the show’s hit songs.

Furthermore, “you don’t have to think a lot in ‘Oklahoma!,” and it’s got something for everyone: “You have your love interest, your funny people, your crotchety old people,” he said. “And that

Marsh Symphony on the Prairie – The legendary band, The Beach Boys – led by founding member Mike Love FISHERS and Bruce Johnston – surf their way to the Conner Prairie Amphitheatre for three performances of chart-topping favorites from the group’s multi-decade career Aug. 22 through 24 at Conner Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Rd. General admission tickets are $30 for adults and $12 for children. For more information, call 6394300 or visit www.indianapolissymphony.org.

show was back in the day where a lot of your Top 10 popular songs came from Broadway.”

Plus, even the dark side – the threat the lovelorn cowhand Jud Fry poses to the romance of Laurey and Curly – shows some sympathy for the doomed Jud. “They’re not trying to make any huge point with it, except ‘this happened and we have to get through it’ and life can go on,” he said.

And the peppy title song is reprised at the very end, “everybody is brought back up (in mood),” Stark said. “It’s a show that continues to sell really well to our audience.”

Stark also takes pride in the working atmosphere he creates at Beef & Boards. This cast is particularly rich in newcomers to the theater, including Eric Morris as Curly and Grace Ann Field as Laurey. Others in B&B debuts are Daniel S. Hines, Brian Sutow, Mary-Elizabeth Milton, Jordan Moody, and ensemble members Leah DeWalt and Devan Mathias.

“It’s important to have newcomers and have them blend with the people who have already been here,” said Stark, mentioning Licia Watson, who will have just finished reprising her role as Vivian Snus-

tad in the “Church Basement Ladies” series.

“Once we get them involved, we hope they will be us for a long time,” he said. “We kind of try to have a very, very ‘human’ theater. It’s not like ‘You actors are here to work for us, and you can do this and you can’t do that.’ If you get them to a comfort level where they enjoy working here, you can pull that little extra 10 percent out of them onstage.”

The payoff is evident in audience response, too, Stark believes. And that positive feeling helps to ensure long-term business success.

“If someone is having a good time doing what they’re doing,” he said, “it makes you feel so much better watching the show.”

Carmel Theatre Company’s new show “Red, Like a Dinosaur’s Liver” is described as “theatre of the absurd,” yet the most absurd thing theatre about it may be that that members of the production didn’t rehearse in person until only days before the show starts.

Instead, actors, director Scott Jackoway and playwright Ben Claus opted to hold rehearsals through online video chat programs such as Skype and Google Hangouts.

“Red, Like a Dinosaur’s Liver” is the first production directed by Jackoway and written by Claus, both cut Carmel graduates. The play tells the story of a married couple: Heidi, an aspiring author searching for the next big idea, and her husband, a doctor with an affinity for old classics, leading both to conflict on what literature is meant to be. A third character, known as “The Fool” enters into their life, only to throw things into chaos.

“We’ve been talking a lot about what the show is at its core,” Jackoway said. “People being stuck in a rut and wanting to get out. Can you get out? What do you need to get yourself unstuck? We’re hoping people walk away thinking about that.”

Claus and Jackoway became best friends through a Clay Middle School production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Claus now studies Playwriting at Depaul University in Illinois while Jackoway studies Theatre at New York University.

Much like their distance while studying in differ-

ent states, the distance between production members called for unique solutions. Having previously rehearsed with cast and production members through Google Hangouts, both Claus and Jackoway say the show has evolved dramatically since arriving in Carmel.

“It can be hard to read the energy in the room,” Claus said, referring to online rehearsals. “It kind of added to the distance between the characters.

We’re trying to play with the space now. I think the play has become more about each other now that it’s in person.”

So you want to ‘go it alone?’

Commentary by Adam Cmejla I firmly believe that everybody needs to have a relationship with a competent, trustworthy and reliable advisor, and I believe finance that need only increases as your wealth, situation, and age increase. Obviously I’m a bit biased, but I believe I’ve come up with a great story and analogy that illustrates this well.

I tend to try and relate complicated financial topics and situations into realities that I and others can comprehend. Being an aviation enthusiast, I’ve used flying and being a pilot in many situations, and I feel this may help connect the dots on the value, role, and responsibilities of an advisor.

You want three things when you fly. At the core of air travel, everybody desires and wants to experience three main things: you want to take off and land safely, you want to get where you’re going, and you want to get there on time. That’s what we are paying the airline (and the pilot and crew) to do for us. That’s also what you want your investments and financial plan to do. You want to get to the proper destination (retirement, college education, etc.) and you want to get there on time and safely. The various investments and vehicles that you use are the airplane and we as advisors are your pilot.

I didn’t build the airplane. There are two obstacles that every honest, hard-working, and trustworthy advisor will face. The first is that we What are the top two tech stocks to buy this year? Investor Place offers two suggestions: • Apple (AAPL) remains one of the very best tech stocks to own. Consumers love Apple’s products – Apple doesn’t have customers so much as devotees. Analysts continually underestimate this company; Apple has had small positive earnings surprises for the past four quarters in a row.

• Texas Instruments (TXN) is another well-positioned tech stock. The semiconductor giant has delivered a positive earnings surprise in three of the past four quarters, and TXN analysts have increased their expectations sharply in the last three months. Management at Texas Instruments has been very shareholder-friendly; the company uses a big portion of its cash flow to buy back stock and pay dividends.

did not build the airplane. XYZ Investment Fund or ABC ETF built the airplane (investment). So en route, if we encounter some mechanical difficulties or repairs that need to be done, it wasn’t because of me. I didn’t cut the dividend of an investment, I didn’t cause a temporary fall in account value. I am simply the pilot; they built it.

I’m not paid to predict the weather. I’m paid to react to the weather. I know there will be rough patches ahead, but I’d be lying to you if I knew exactly when and where they would be.

If I did know, I wouldn’t be writing this article.

Based on of a map, I may have a sense of where it might be, but we’re not going to know until we experience it. So there may be times when you’re looking out the window and everything is clear and it’s smooth cruising. There may be times when I tell you to fasten your seatbelts because we’re encountering some rough weather. But when the journey is over, I’ll get you to where you need to be (retirement, etc.), safely and on time. That’s my responsibility and duty, and I understand the magnitude of that task.

Parents need activities, too Commentary by Kathleen Connelly

As the summer is winding down my family is getting organized for the fall and for us that means signing Fitness the kids up for fall activities. Our rule of thumb usually is each kid can participate in one physical activity/team sport at a time. We are breaking this rule slightly this fall but for the most part follow it to a tee. This helps us keep our sanity and allows us to spend time at home with family and friends.

For the fall, my son and 6-year-old daughter are playing soccer through S.P.O.R.T.S and my 3-year-old daughter is participating in a dance class at Wishes Dance Studio in Fishers. Here’s where I broke my own rule: My son is also playing fall baseball through S.P.O.R.T.S. As I organized all of this and put everything on the calendar, I had a thought: What about my husband and me?

As parents, we want to give the world to our kids. We want to let them try new things and enjoy different activities.

Why don’t we want the same things for ourselves? I see clients all the time who put everything and everyone else before themselves. Even though we are parents, we need to recognize the importance of

staying active, participating in activities we enjoy and yes, even in our 30s, 40s, 50s and older, trying new things. I believe it is a way to teach our kids that their health, their interests and staying active is important at any age or in any circumstance. Your kids will see you being active, see you trying new things or making what you enjoy a priority and they will learn from it. Aren’t these important lessons we want to teach our kids?

Next time you think about signing you kids up for something, decide what “your activity” will be. Find out if the organization that your kids play through has adult sports leagues. Maybe the studio your child dances at has adult classes or you and your son/daughter can try a new activity together. My husband has not decided on his “fall activity” but I am going to follow my own advice and sign up for a yoga class through the Fishers YMCA. My challenge to you is to find an activity that can fit into your family schedule and sign up today!

When to exercise – Exercising earlier in the morning can jump start your metabolism and burn fat for the rest of the day. Workouts release endorphins that increase energy levels and improve your mood for daily tasks.

By completing your workout in the morning you can check it off your to-do list and focus on the day ahead. – WomensHealth. com

Rid your diet of processed foods – Replacing highly processed foods with a diet rich in essential fatty acids found in salmon, organic oils and walnuts can help clear skin and prevent the triggering of rosacea, eczema and common rashes. – Prevention.com

Fresco in Chora Church Depicting the Resurrection. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Iconic images in Istanbul

Commentary by Don Knebel

After touring the Hagia Sophia, many visitors assume they have seen the best Byzantine art in Istanbul. They have not. What may travel be the most impressive collection of medieval mosaics and frescoes in the world is displayed in the “Chora Church” in western Istanbul.

The “Church of Christ the Savior in Chora” derives its name from a fourth-century monastery in the same location, which was outside the walls of Constantinople and therefore in “chora,” Greek for “the countryside.” Byzantine Emperor Justinian built a church on the site in the sixth century, apparently because it was near his summer palace. After additions and improvements, the building became associated with the Greek Orthodox Church after its split from the Roman Catholic Church in the Great Schism of 1054. The church attained most of its current configuration in about 1081.

In 1204, Catholic participants in the Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople and significantly damaged the church. After Orthodox forces recaptured Constantinople in 1261, Theodore Metochites, a wealthy statesman and patron of the arts, restored the church and covered its interior with dozens of colorful mosaics and

frescoes depicting the life and death of Jesus, Biblical stories and characters and scenes important to the church. The renderings are more intricate than typical art of the period. One colorful mosaic shows Metochites handing the church to Jesus. A complex gold-leaf mosaic depicts the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven. The most famous of the frescoes, labeled “anastasis” (resurrection), is on a dome near the burial chapel. Frequently emulated, it shows the returned Jesus giving a hand to Adam and Eve as they arise bodily from their graves, with other Biblical figures watching nearby.

In 1453, the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople, renamed it Istanbul and turned the Chora Church into a mosque, complete with a minaret. Because Islam forbids “graven images,” they covered the mosaics and frescoes with plaster, inadvertently preserving them. Beginning in 1948, the Turkish government uncovered and restored the images and reopened the church in 1958 as a museum. Try not to overlook the splendors of the Chora Church.

What’s wrong in my garden?

Commentary by Noah Herron Harvesting season is upon us and you may start noticing problems in the garden. We have noticed a surge of customGardening ers bringing in tomatoes and other fruits to have us diagnose the problem. Here are a few common occurrences you should look out for and how to remedy them: Cabbage Looper Symptoms: Holes in leaves mainly between the veins; stunted plants.

Crops: Mostly brassicas: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale and mustards.

Control: Remove and discard. Use floating row covers. Apply Bacillus thuringensis.

Verticillum Wilt Disease Symptoms: Leaves turn yellow and dry up.

Starts from bottom and moves up.

Causes: Caused by soil-borne fungus and can affect several different vegetables. Fungus can persist for years. Blocks uptake of water and nutrients eventually killing the plant.

Control: Crop rotation and resistant varieties is important. Remove affected plants and burn.

Blossom End Rot Symptoms: This is a very common occurrence on tomatoes and peppers. Fruits start to rot from bottom up. Looks like a brown, ripply skin.

Causes: A couple things cause this: dry weather following wet spell or insufficient calcium in soil.

Control: Mulch around tomatoes to even moisture. Add lime to the soil.

Tomato Hornworm Symptoms: Caterpillars feed on foliage and fruit; leave eaten spots on fruits; defoliation.

Crops: Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and peppers.

Control: Handpick and drop in soapy water. Apply Bacilus thuringensis on plants. Attract beneficial insects to garden.

Open-air porch with fireplace provides family entertaining options Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in Carmel, was built in 2005. Although the origiblueprint for nal brick surround patio improvement was beautiful, it was practically unusable due to intense evening sun. “We host Sunday family dinners every week for our family and we grew tired of having a patio that we could never entertain on. We decided to add on a large outdoor room so we could finally enjoy the outdoors without being subjected to the heat.”

EXTERIOR FINISH: Tying in with the existing gable and rooflines, the new porch was framed over the extended aggregate patio. A cathedral ceiling, custom made screened doors and gable windows were included. The elevated cathedral ceiling gives a grand appearance, but also retains the view to the backyard from the front entry. The exterior was finished with cedar siding and trim and was painted to match the existing paint color.

FIREPLACE DETAILS: The fireplace was one of the major focal points. The fireplace was constructed using stone veneer in an “Autumn Sunburst Ashlar” color and angled with a straight sightline into the kitchen. The interior fireplace wall included a 6-inch recess that was perfectly sized for their new TV. To give a dual-sided look, two fireboxes with separate flues were installed on the interior and exterior, which prevents

insects from crawling inside. A limestone hearth was installed to complete the final look of the fireplace.

INTERIOR DETAILS: After the windows and screened door were installed, new casings were installed to match the family room. Motorized retractable screens were also installed to give the homeowners the desired open-air concept. A double fan with woven bamboo blades was installed along with coordinating wall sconces and carriage lights in an oil-rubbed bronze finish.
