Carmel father sues JUUL for son’s addiction

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A Carmel father is suing e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL for its alleged role in his son becoming addicted to nicotine.

COURTS Thomas McCullough filed the lawsuit in federal court Aug. 20 on behalf of his son, a 17-year-old student at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory High School. The lawsuit states that the student first tried JUUL e-cigarettes in late 2015 at age 15 and that the addiction has affected his behavior.

“He became withdrawn, anxious, highly irritable and prone to angry outbursts,” the lawsuit states, in addition to experiencing withdrawal headaches and losing interest in participating in sports and social activities.

The lawsuit states that JUUL’s design, manufacturing and marketing makes it appealing to minors and that it contains three times more nicotine than is necessary to satisfy nicotine cravings of an adult smoker.

Nicholas Deets, an attorney representing the McCulloughs, said the family hopes the lawsuit will prevent other minors from becoming addicted to nicotine. “(The lawsuit) does not have anything to do with money at all,” Deets said. “It’s trying to do something to stop this epidemic of all these kids using what’s known to be a dangerous product. It’s causing serious nicotine addictions for young teenage children.

There’s evidence there’s going to be addiction problems the rest of their life when they develop an addiction at this stage.”

JUUL Labs spokesperson Ted Kwong stated in an email that the company has never marketed to youth and that the product is only intended to be an alternative for existing

cigarette smokers.

“This suit largely copies and pastes unfounded allegations previously raised in other lawsuits which we have been actively contesting for over a year,” Kwong stated.

“Like the prior cases that this one copies, it is without merit and we will defend our mission throughout this process.”

Kwong pointed to the fact that JUUL supports raising the minimum age for tobacco use to 21 and that it shut down its Facebook and Instagram accounts, among other measures, to keep the product out of the hands of minors.

Deets said McCullough’s son is undergoing medical treatment in an attempt to overcome his nicotine addiction.

The McCulloughs are seeking an unspecified amount of damages.

The lawsuit against JUUL isn’t the only one Thomas McCullough filed this year on behalf of one of his children. In July, he filed a suit seeking compensation for injuries his younger son sustained at a bar mitzvah party held at Off the Wall Sports in April in Carmel.

The lawsuit states that his son broke his left arm after slipping on foam. It lists Off the Wall Sports, Foamalicious and the parents of the boy who invited the younger McCullough to the party as defendants.

Deets said another party attendee suffered a serious arm injury and that two others sustained concussions at the event.

Mark Correll, an attorney representing Off the Wall Sports, said his client denies “any and all liability.”

“We have inquired regarding the allegations and accusations beyond what is stated in the complaint itself, but have yet to receive any response,” Correll said.

Smoking meat may continue

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com For nearly 10 years, Home Place resident Claude Wood has been smoking meats to sell from his trailer from CITY NEWS the corner of 106th Street and College Avenue or at events such as CarmelFest.

He’s stored his two Woody’s Flaming BBQ smoker trailers in his driveway for much of that time, but now that Carmel’s annexation of Home Place is complete, he’s been cited for violating city code.

Wood plans to construct a garage in the back of his property on Norriston Drive to house the trailers, but he needs to build it slightly larger than permitted by city ordinance to fit them. The Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals reviewed the request at its Aug. 26 meeting, unanimously granting the variance, but not before hearing concerns from a neighbor and the city’s planning department.

The complaints didn’t stem from the size of the garage, rather that meat would be prepared and smoked on his property one to two times per month. Wood’s attorney, Dave Coots, said Wood smokes all meat he sells commercially off-site but wants to continue to prepare 50 to 200 pounds of meat on his property once or twice a month for homeless shelters.

Dan Stevenson, who lives across the street from Wood, spoke against the vari-

ance. In a letter to the BZA, he suggested that the city help Wood find a place to operate his business that is not in a residential area.

“For eight years (the Woods) have smoked meat in their driveway and prepped food in the garage,” Stevenson stated. “It looks like a catering business, it smells like a catering business and it operates like a catering business.”

Angie Conn, City of Carmel planning administrator, said the planning department is supportive of the variance for the size of the garage as long as Wood commits that all meat will be smoked off-site. She said city staff has concerns about maintaining the residential character of the property if commercial-grade smokers are seen in use.

Linda Wood, Claude’s wife, said she and her husband are not in favor of making that commitment.

“I am concerned that without allowing us to continue to smoke (on our property), our efforts to help the less fortunate might have to decrease due to competing priorities and the inability for us to multitask in separate locations,” she told the BZA. BZA members approved the variance without commitments and concluded that whether meat may be smoked on-site is a separate issue to be reviewed by code enforcement officials.

“How we’re going to enforce not smoking meat is beyond me,” board member Leo Dierckman said.

One for the road

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com What do you get when you combine parachute pants, Van Halen T-shirts, a clunker car, a map of Route 66 and REUNION three high school friends from the class of 1984?

An epic ‘80s-themed road trip, of course.

One that mixed fun and fundraising for a pair of causes: Funding the upcoming Carmel High School class of 1984’s 35th reunion and making a generous donation to the Carmel Education Foundation.

Class of ‘84 friends Scott Smalstig, John Stewart and Brad Ellis raised enough money for both by completing last year’s Route 66 Lemon Road Rally, an eight-day, 2,700-mile trip from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., on Route 66. They completed the journey, per Lemon Rally rules, in a car valued at less than $500.

The trio raised money by soliciting pledges from classmates and posting “thank you” vidoes in their honor during stops along the famous highway.

“We decided we’d put our fundraising skills together to ask classmates to sponsor segments of the trip,” said Smalstig, a Yorktown resident who is vice president of development for Meridian Health.

Longtime friends who get together every couple of years for reunion adventures, Smalstig, Stewart and Ellis were intrigued by the Lemon Road Rally and thought it would be a fun time and a good way to

raise money for the reunion and the Carmel Education Foundation. They wore vintage ‘80s apparel throughout the trip in a 1984 Bonneville Brougham that required considerable repairs before the journey.

The friends successfully completed the Oct. 27-Nov. 3, 2018, trip and raised more than $3,500 in the process, $2,000 of which will benefit the Carmel Education Foundation. The remainder will fund the class reunion at Muldoon’s (Sept. 20) and Matt the Miller’s Tavern (Sept. 21) in Carmel.

Festival of Machines to return

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com Conner Prairie wants to allow visitors to get up close and personal with various types of machines. The interacEVENT tive history museum will conduct the sixth annual Festival of Machines Sept. 14-15.

“This event is a great way for anyone interested in how things work to come and meet some new machines,” said Rachel Poe, program developer. “We try to include as many hands-on activities as we can.”

Festival of Machines is designed for anyone who’s interested in how things work.

“If you’ve ever questioned how a VCR works or how it feels to be inside the cab of a giant cement mixer, you’ll probably find something interesting,” Poe said.

New this year is the Invitational Showcase Car Show.

“The cars in this showcase have been selected as some of the best of the best from car show winners around central Indiana,” Poe said. “They represent the history and diversity of transportation in America, and we will have some beautiful and unique cars under our tent.”

Children enjoy a past Festival of Machines event at Conner Prairie. (Submitted photo)

“They will be flying model aircraft and talking to guests about their machines and the organization,” Poe said.

Rivers, Roads, & Rails allows people to find out what the citizens of Prairietown thought about the future of transportation.

Kids and adults can drive an RC car on a course they help build, experiment with roller coaster mechanics and participate in LEGO car-crash testing.

HAMILTON COUNTY TOURISM UNVEILS ‘WHITE RIVER MONSTER’ SCULPTURE

on Main

Come and party in the District –

late night style!

Join us Saturday, September 7th on West Main Street just east of the Monon Greenway for a special late night street party.

On Aug. 25, Hamilton County Tourism unveiled the 10-foot “White River Monster” sculpture, the subject of local lore. According to county historian David Heighway, above, in 1892, two men drove a wagon down Cicero Pike and claimed to have spotted a large animal in the river described as “a huge serpent 12 feet in length and perhaps 3 feet in circumference with a forked tail.” Later that month, four men found a carcass of a dead cow caught on branches in the river, which they figured to be the White River Monster. The monster sculpture is titled “William Herman Hamilton.” Also known as “Willie,” the sculpture will travel around the county this fall. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

Aaron Busse waited a long time, but he finally got to play a round of golf with his favorite golfer, Tiger CELEBRITY Woods.

“I’ve been a proud supporter of the Evans Scholars Foundation for eight years,” the Carmel resident said. “They get a spot every year, and they were nice enough to let me have their spot because they knew I was a fan of Tiger.”

Busse started to wonder if it would ever happen with Woods’ injuries through the years. Even after it seemed set, Woods withdrew before the second round of the Northern Trust golf tournament Aug. 9 because of a mild oblique strain.

“It made me worried he was not going to make the BMW,” Busse said.

Fortunately for Busse, Woods did make it to the BMW Championship’s Pro-Am Aug. 14 at Medinah (Ill.) Country Club.

“From the moment I knew he was coming it was pandemonium with anxiousness,” Busse said. “I was trying to have a bucket-list item (playing with Woods). I had 60 people, friends, families and customers, cheering me on.”

Before they started, Woods told the amateurs “all the pressure is on you guys, it’s not on me, which was entirely true.”

Busse said Woods was cordial but business-like.

“The pros get intimidated playing with him,” Busse said.

After the third or fourth hole, Woods noticed Busse had a pretty big gallery.

“He said, ‘This is kind of a first, you’ve got as many people cheering you on as I do,’” Busse said. “I thought that was cool he had taken notice of my group.”

Woods gave Busse some advice on the course.

“It was a memory of a lifetime,” Busse said.

It was made he even more special because he had a solid round.

Busse, a 6-handicap golfer, shot a 79.

Busse has used his sand wedge instead of a putter for eight years at the suggestion of a club pro. Never a great putter, Busse began to have success with the wedge and stuck with it.

“Over time, I got pretty good with it and really good with it inside 10 to 12 feet,” he said.

From left, Saher Hadi, Tiger Woods and Aaron Busse at the BMW Pro-Am. (Submitted photo)

Busse said other pros, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, have commented on Busse using his wedge to putt. Woods did not.

However, Busse said one of his friends, John Madonis, who was caddying for him, said Woods would watch intently when Busse putted and didn’t do that with the other amateurs. Madonis, a Carmel resident, caddied for nine holes, and Fishers resident Saher Hadi caddied the other nine holes.

Busse said reporters from The Golf Channel and ESPN asked about how he started using a wedge. The PGA Tour tweeted about it.

“I didn’t realize the stuff with the wedge would take off, because I had played with some pretty big names before, but I guess that’s the Tiger factor,” Busse said.

In the final round at Medinah, Woods used his wedge to get out of a trap and then kept it to tap in a 1-footer.

Busse said he doesn’t know if that was a nod to him or a coincidence.

“I’m going to take it as an ode to myself,” said Busse, who works for Steel Dynamics and also shares ownership of auto dealerships in Fort Wayne and racehorses.

CHS swimmers strike gold

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Wyatt Davis proved he has a flair for the dramatic.

The ACHIEVEMENT Carmel High School senior swimmer came from fourth place with a lap to go to win gold in the 200-meter Davis backstroke at the Aug. 25 World Junior Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

“The 200 back has always been one of my favorite events, and being able to trust my training and my race strategy to be the first to touch the wall for Team USA was a very special moment for me,” Davis said.

Davis was seeded sixth.

“As long as you have a lane, you have a chance to win, or at least move up in places,” Davis said. “So to me, it didn’t really matter all that much what I was seeded. I just knew that if I had a lane, I had an opportunity to do something great.”

The win gave Davis six medals for the World Juniors, which ran Aug. 20 to 25.

“To be honest, I was not expecting to get a medal at all,” Davis said. “I was going into the meet hoping for a few new best times and to enjoy the experience. Never would I have thought the week leading up to the meet that I would have walked away with six. I just learned to attack every race with

the utmost confidence and to trust the process that got me there.”

Davis picked up a gold in the 400-meter mixed medley relay. He also earned a gold medal for being in the prelims for the 800-meter freestyle relay team. He earned silver in the 50 backstroke and 400 medley relay and a bronze in the 100 backstroke.

CHS teammate Jake Mitchell Mitchell was on the U.S.’s winning 800-meter freestyle relay team, which set a world junior record. He gave the U.S. the lead in the third leg. He was fourth in the 400 meters and seventh in the 800.

Davis and Mitchell have committed to swim next year for the University of Michigan.

Davis said being part of Team USA was special.

“The friendships that I made during that trip, not only with the other swimmers but also with the coaches and support staff, will always be with me,” Davis said. “Sharing this experience with Team USA was so special to me and was by far the best part of the trip.”

Mitchell said cheering his teammates from the stands was the best part.

“Being with those with the same goals was absolutely incredible,” Mitchell said. “To cheer for the United States was the most exciting experience I ever had. Being able to see Wyatt and what he accomplished was unreal. He trains so hard every single day.”

The Indiana Center for Prevention of Youth Abuse & Suicide will play host to the 19th annual Treasure Our FUNDRAISER Children Gala from 6 to 11 p.m. Sept. 28 at the 502 Event Center, 502 E. Carmel Dr. The theme is “Dancing the Night Away.”

The organization was founded in 2001 to prevent abuse and suicide among the community youth. ICPYAS provides evidencebased programming to educate youth and adults and empower them to recognize, react and find resources for help.

The gala helps fund programs for adults and children.

“We go into schools and teach body safety, because there’s such a high correlation between children who have been abused or neglected and their rate of suicide,” said Melissa Peregrin, ICPYAS executive director.

“We teach kids how to advocate for themselves to keep themselves safe. We also teach adults how to protect children.”

The evening includes dinner, cocktails, music, dancing and advocacy.

“This is a celebration of the work that

we’ve been able to do to protect the kids and teens in the community. It’s also a way for us to raise awareness and funds for the coming school year,” Peregrin said.

The event will include live and silent auctions.

“We have some big items like a weeklong stay in a condo in the Caribbean and tickets to Disney,” Peregrin said. “We have things like lunch and a tour of the Carmel Police Dept., tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals game, jewelry, tickets to Conner Prairie and ax throwing for 10 people.”

The band Toy Story will perform throughout the evening.

Tickets are $90 per person or $170 per couple. For more or to purchase tickets, visit indianaprevention.org/events.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

The St. George Orthodox Christian Church Festival will return to the church, 10748 E. 116th St., Sept. 20-22 and will ofEVENT fer what Rev. Nabil Hanna calls “a heritage of faith, hospitality, good food, music and crafts from our roots in the Holy Land, the Middle East and the cultures that make up our congregation.”

Besides ethnic food booths, the festival also will feature a live Middle Eastern band, dance troupes, a children’s carnival, an indoor marketplace, pastry booth and the return of the popular silent auction.

They don’t have to pick up on Sunday. There are different items each day. We’ve never done that before, and people seem to like silent auctions.”

The church’s bookstore will be open throughout festival. Indoor church tours

also will be offered.

Festival admission is free. Offsite parking is $5 per vehicle at Journey Lutheran Ministries, 10401 E. 116th St. Shuttles will run continuously.

Sumner estimates the festival draws 5,000 to 7,000 annually. It is open from 5 to 10 p.m. Sept. 20, 1 to 10 p.m. Sept. 21 and 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 22. For more, visit stgfest.org.

Carmel High School senior Suhas Chundi displays medals he’s earned in biology and wrestling.

(Photo by Ben Stout)

ate m i t l U STUDENT-ATHLETE Carmel senior excels on wrestling mat, international biology competitions

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior Suhas Chundi truly embodies the scholar-athlete role, approaching academics COVER STORY and wrestling with the same vigor.

Greyhounds wrestling coach Ed Pendoski said Chundi is not only bright but also does an excellent job of managing his time.

“In the winter we have morning runs at 6:15,” Pendoski said. “He’s waking up early just to get an hour of studying in before the run.”

Chundi was one of four students to earn gold medals at the seventh annual USA Biology Olympiad National Finals in San Diego, which ended July 3. The four gold medalists formed the U.S. team in the 30th annual International Biology Olympiad July 14 to 21 in Szeged, Hungary.

Chundi finished 25th to earn one of 28 gold medals awarded at the Olympiad. The top 10 percent of participants received gold medals.

“It’s a balance of being successful in a high-stakes competition, and it’s really fun

because you are meeting people who are just as inspired by biology as you,” he said.

“When you are being taught new skills you are learning them at a really, really fast rate. It’s a giant crash course in biology if you are really interested in the subject.”

Chundi said there is a similar pressure before a wrestling match.

“But on the mat, I can let it all out,” Chundi said. “I never feel stressed when I’m in a match, but sometimes you feel stressed during a test in a biology competition.”

Chundi, however, acknowledged he gets more excited winning a wrestling match because the adrenaline is flowing.

“In an academic competition, you often don’t find how you did until the test is graded,” he said.

Chundi started wrestling in sixth grade at Creekside Middle School.

“My dad wanted to make sure I wasn’t too one-sided and biology wasn’t my only thing, or studies in general,” Chundi said.

“Initially, my dad pushed me into wrestling because he thought I was small and would get beat up a lot and I’d also make friends from it. I did it for a year and really liked it.”

Chundi said being competitive came

naturally to him, but there was a lot of technique to learn.

As a junior, Chundi reached the semifinals in the 106-pound class of the state high school wrestling finals. He ended up placing fourth.

“Even though I got fourth, there were pretty gaping holes in my technique last year, so I’m working with my coaches on that,” he said.

Greyhounds assistant coach Cody LeCount said Chundi leads by example.

“He’s the type of kid you never have to worry about,” LeCount said. “He’s always going to go, go, go. You never have to tell him to do something twice. He’s very hardnosed about things. He takes care of business, whether it’s the classroom or on the mat. He leads by example in the classroom with all the accolades in school and outside of school. It’s amazing to see how much drive he has inside himself.”

Chundi wrestles year-round as part of the Carmel USA Wrestling Club.

“He never misses a workout unless he’s at an academic competition,” LeCount said.

Pendoski said the staff understands the academic aspect is more important than his

wrestling, but Chundi always keeps the staff informed when he is going to miss a practice because of an academic competition.

“We stress physical, mental, technical,” Pendoski said. “He works tirelessly. He’s going to work at something until it’s perfect.

The way he tackles things academically he applies to the wrestling room, and that’s why he’s successful.”

MEET SUHAS CHUNDI Personal: Has approximately a 4.6 grade point average on a weighted 4.0 scale. Plans to be a pre-med major, considering majoring in computational biology. Hasn’t made a college choice, but Stanford University is one of the schools he is considering. His mother, Raji Chintalapati, and father, Srinivas Chundi, moved from India and are both in informational technology.

Way to relax: Ultimate Frisbee Other favorite subjects: Computer science and math What he likes about biology: “It’s good to know what is going on inside your body.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Nuanced ‘truth’

Vote yes on school safety referendum

Commentary by Terry Anker Checkout lines at the grocery store are the same the world over.

Rows of candy, eye-height for a 9-year-old, mark the corridor to the cash register. They share the space with numerous tabloids whose headlines grab the attention of even the most harried and distracted passerby.

As children, we come to know that just the right bit of nudging could get mom to buy us the Snickers while she is emptying our overflowing cart onto the conveyor belt. As we first master letters and then reading, the colorful headlines capture our imagination.

We promise to forego the candy if mom will throw one of the magazines into the cart with the Hamburger Helper and mac and cheese.

Soon in the car, we open the pages, eager to learn about the secret government plot to put growth hormones into our milk and make us giants equipped to fight the Russian menace. Alas, like many disappointments of our youth, we quickly learn that the headlines often don’t match the content. The “stunning” discoveries are not discoveries at all. Instead, they are carefully worded deceptions intended to tell a lie without really telling one.

Has it changed much through the decades? Media still uses the ploy to get us to look. Seemingly every restaurant and public space is festooned with countless video monitors tirelessly looped with CNN or other outlets. The screen crawls with horrific headlines, unabashedly misleading and provocative.

What a front page calls fact, the full article ultimately surrenders to be more nuanced.

My cup runneth empty — cheers!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m luxuriating in a silent, clean, mostly empty house right now and am thrilled to report that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is pretty much HUMOR what my domestic life will look like for the next four months.

Blessed be the fruit!

In this case, the delicious fruit is college.

That’s right, friends, three of our four heirs have left the building, hopefully not returning until the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. But teenagers and 20-year-olds are messy, loud, expensive, meat-eating machines who are only nice to their moms when they want food or money. They bake cookies at midnight, totally unconcerned with the noise they are making while a certain mother attempts to sleep above them.

They invite their posses over for all-you-caneat buffets featuring the Wilson pantry and refrigerator/freezer. And they hoard clothes and tchotchkes like nobody’s business.

Our youngest is still around, but she is so busy with school and dance and socializing that we rarely see her. Praise be, my husband, Doo, and I are basically empty nesters.

I come home after work to a sink that holds no dishes. I go to bed enjoying an Xbox-free silence. I shop at Meijer maybe once a week.

Talk about your miracles! I can even bingewatch “The Handmaid’s Tale” in the actual living room, on the TV. People told me I’d feel sad and lonely without the general bustle of kids underfoot, that I’d miss the energy that comes from a big family coexisting under one roof.

They were liars. I love it, almost as much as I love my children. In college. Under someone else’s eye.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.”

— Bruce Lee

Editor, Carmel Clay Schools is proposing a tax referendum in November, and voters will get to decide whether to approve an additional 5 cents in taxes for every $100 of assessed property value. The money will go toward increasing mental health services and hiring about a dozen new school resource officers.

I sat down with Supt. Michael Beresford on his day off to discuss the referendum. I hit him with the hard questions so I could understand the issue, and while I don’t have time to go over every detail in this letter, I want to briefly tell you why I’ll vote yes.

I believe it’s a small amount of money that will not only help prevent a school shooting, but will benefit our students in so many other ways.

For a home valued at $250,000, the estimated annual cost would be about $65. While I understand that every penny counts, I think we could all give up one or two cappuccinos a month to make sure children are safe.

If passed, the referendum also will increase the number of CCS social workers and increase their pay. There also will be a program that allows trained mental health professionals to come into the schools to offer counseling.

Laces knot for me Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’ve been doing it wrong for about 65 years, making the same mistake more than 24,000 times. You’ve probably HUMOR been doing it wrong, too. A TED Talk by Terry Moore demonstrates the correct way to tie your shoes.

He proves that the worldwide epidemic of laces becoming untied can be solved by a simple adjustment to how we loop our knots. It took me a few tries to do it correctly, but he’s right on the money. By the way, a frozen mummy from 3300 B.C. was found wearing the first recorded shoelaces.

They were untied. He tripped and fell off a glacier.

People are always saying, “Dick, do you know your shoe is untied?” I usually do. But after I turned 70, I decided I wasn’t reaching all the way down there unless both shoes required my attention.

I came across this TED Talk after Googling “shoelaces,” hoping to find some replacements for a pair of casual shoes I owned.

Instead of the traditional kind, these shoes came with Lock Laces, which are loops of elastic woven through the eyelets that never need to be tied. Just pull the shoe on

and it tightens automatically.

These new thingamajigs drove me crazy. I cut them off the shoes, planning to replace them with traditional laces. Since most stores don’t carry a good selection, I logged onto Amazon Prime and found a dizzying assortment of colors and styles.

Amazon allows previous buyers to write reviews about their purchases. I could see taking the time to give your opinion if you bought a TV, but shoelaces? There were hundreds of comments by people who must have nothing better to do than sit around looking at their feet. These are actual postings: “The shoelaces are thicker than I thought they’d be. What a waste of $2.”

“The laces were 36 inches, not 34. What should I do?”

While shopping online, I bought some new dress shoes. To avoid the lacing hassle, I opted for slip-ons. Am I lazy? Yes, I’m a loafer.

Proscenium gains 3 tenants

DISPATCHES

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two Indianapolis companies and one Carmel firm are planning to move into the Proscenium when it’s DEVELOPMENT complete next year.

Lauth Group, Schwarz Partners and Valeo Financial Advisors announced Aug. 27 that they will move their offices to the second, third and fourth floors of the Proscenium’s Agora building, respectively. The four-story, 100,000-squarefoot office building is expected to open in the summer of 2020 at 10 W. Carmel Dr. “We are thrilled to see that our investment into the redevelopment of this once under-performing property is now producing results in the way of private investment and new jobs for Carmel,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard stated in a press release.

Lauth Group, which is developing the project, will move its headquarters from Congressional Boulevard in Carmel.

“To have the building more than 60 percent preleased prior to commencing construction validates our decision to develop this facility in Carmel,” Lauth President and CEO Mike Jones stated in a press release.

Schwarz Partners, a holding company with interests in packaging and transportation, will move 70 employees from Woodview Trace in northwest Indianapolis to occupy 25,000 square feet in the Proscenium.

Valeo Financial Advisors will relocate 70 employees from 9450 N. Meridian St. in Indianapolis.

The City of Carmel and Lauth will hold a beam-signing ceremony Sept. 6 to celebrate the lease announcements.

Hogan opens Carmel office

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com Hogan Consulting Group, a presence in the Indianapolis market since 2006, has opened a managed services sales EXPANSION and customer support office in Carmel. Located at 12220 North Meridian St., Suite 165, it’s the company’s second Indiana office.

“Over the years, the number of employees to support our operations has grown, and we have found the market there to have an excellent talent pool,” said Michael Hogan, president of Chesterton-based Hogan Consulting Group. “The quality of life and amenities that are offered in the Carmel area seem to attract the kinds of people we are seeking with the skill set we need to grow our business.”

The Carmel office has six full-time employees but is sized to accommodate additional staff as the company grows.

“Carmel is planned to become our second network operations center that will service our managed clients with 24/7 monitoring and response. As clients are added, we will need to expand our service and sales teams in the area,” Hogan said. “Our cur-

rent plan is to build or buy the next office in two years, which will be built out to our specifications.”

The Carmel location also offers a central location for team meetings for Hogan employees based in Louisville, Chesterton, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.

“We have clients across the U.S., so we wanted an office that offered convenience.

While not next to the airport, the location can be reached in less than an hour from the airport,” Hogan said. “The area offers wonderful lodging, dining and restaurants with relatively low congestion.”

Hogan Consulting is a provider of end-user computing, security, cloud and artificial intelligence consulting services.

ATI newcomers eager for roles in ATI musical

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tony Carter fell in love with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” instantly.

“I was actually in high COMEDY school and saw the show on Broadway,” Carter said.

“Brian d’Arcy James was playing the role of Freddy Benson. I love the music and I grew up with the movie with Steve Martin.

It’s a fantastically challenging role. I was playing a con artist who plays a lot of different characters.

“It’s an incredibly funny role and I’m excited to bring my own personal flavor to it.”

Carter, a Chicago resident who is originally from Las Vegas, plays grifter Benson in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sept. 6 to 29 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Carter said he attended ATI auditions in Chicago and came down for call-backs to audition for all the shows in the 2019-20 season, which kicks off with “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”

“This was my favorite and I was really gunning for it,” he said. “The songs are funny. There is a lot of quick-witted dialogue.”

Carter is acting in the Indianapolis area for the first time. Like Carter, Deborah Hill is making her ATI debut. Hill, who grew up in Lafayette and attended Anderson University, lives in Dayton, Ohio. She will play Christine Colgate.

“I was looking for theaters in the area where I could work,” she said. “I researched the show and role. It’s a great role for any actress.”

Hill said she enjoys comedic roles but doesn’t get to do them a lot.

“I usually do the serious, more ingenue roles,” Hill said. “She seems like a onedimensional character, but it takes a plot twist and I really get to delve into her. The songs are amazing. It’s a great vocal challenge for me.”

TJ Lancaster, from Kansas City, has not seen or heard the musical version of the show, which was a 1988 movie with Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

Bourbon trail launches editorial@youarecurrent.com September is National Bourbon Heritage Month. So Greg Kissinger, a Fishers resident who works for Republic National Distributing Co., figured a Carmel Bourbon Trail would be a good fit.

“It’s a cool, conceptional thing,” Kissinger said.

There are 22 restaurants and bars, ranging from Anthony’s Chophouse to Old Town Tavern, taking part in the trail.

Visitors can ask if there is a Bourbon Trail special at participating spots. Brands featured are Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare.

Other participants include 3 UP (above Anthony’s Chophouse), Charleston’s, The Pint Room, Convivo, Prime 47, Bar Louie, Divvy, Prodigy Burger & Bar, Brockway Public House, Donatello’s, Renaissance Hotel, The Broken Barrel, Fork & Ale House, Sahm’s Ale House, Bru Burger Bar, Matt The Miller’s Tavern, Texas Roadhouse, Burgerhaus, Nippers Grill & Tap and Woody’s Library Restaurant.

“It was a great surprise to get a chance to work on it,” said Lancaster, who is performing as suave con man Lawrence Jamieson. “I loved the movie back in the day. I love the ‘Odd Couple’ quality of highclass con man and a street con man. It’s laugh after laugh. It’s high-class comedy and goofy, vulgar comedy together. That’s what makes it so great.”

Lancaster was previously in “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” at ATI in 2018.

Michael Blatt, who attended North Central High School with ATI co-founder Judy Fitzgerald, is returning to direct with ATI. Blatt, based in New York, directed “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” in 2018.

“I loved it. The show was great. It was so good to be back in Indianapolis,” Blatt said of the 2018 show. “My roots are here. I did Jr. Civic and Footlite Musicals. It was a full-circle moment to come back and work professionally here.”

Blatt has never been with a production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” but has plenty

of exposure to it.

“I was lucky enough when I was in New York, my best friend and roommate was the assistant choreographer of the Broadway show, so I got to see it a lot,” Blatt said. “I got to know all the cast members.

I got to know about the process. I’m also a personal trainer and I got to train the book writer for the show because he was one of my clients. It was interesting to be on the edges of the production.”

The cast was originally designed for 30.

“We’re doing a streamlined version of the show, but still (presenting) the whole show with a cast of 10,” Blatt said. “There are five ensemble members who rotate to play different roles. This is one of the first times they’ve done a streamline before, so we’re going to make our own version of ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.’”

Carol Worcel is the choreographer.

Fitzgerald and fellow ATI co-founder Don Farrell are part of the cast.

trying to get a foot in the door as a librarian, met a “creative and talented” musician who cooked at one of the restaurants. They had a vision to create a dance band and play “songs of the seas” for college kids who enjoyed rowdy, acoustic music.

“We quickly discovered college kids were not interested in pirate music,” MacDowell said.

Tickets for the 10:30 a.m. show are $10 per child, with two free adult admissions included. For more, visit hecenterpresents.org/.

Artist chosen for Penrod

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com Artists find inspiration in many different places. Artist Pam Niccum, who works in fused glass, draws from everyday ART life for inspiration.

Her objects are created by fusing pieces of glass together in a kiln.

“Inspiration comes from everywhere,” Niccum said.

“I have created pieces based on current events, something I see in nature, Niccum thoughts during a run or a conversation. Dreams are also an abundant source of ideas.”

The Carmel resident is one of 350 artists who will showcase their work at the 53rd Annual Somerset CPAs and Advisors Penrod Arts Fair from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7 at Newfields in Indianapolis.

“It’s an honor to be chosen for Penrod,” Niccum said. “The quality of the work from the other artists is also very high, and that makes for a better show. The artists are all of the same stature. The crowd is also really fun and dedicated art lovers.”

Artist Pam Niccum will display her artwork at the 53rd Annual Somerset CPAs and Advisors Penrod Arts Fair from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept.

7. (Submitted photo)

Niccum describes her work as contemporary. She also creates commissioned pieces.

“My work is unique, and all my pieces are one-of-a-kind,” Niccum said. “Guests may come and see something they like but not in the colors I used. They’ll ask if I can create it with a different color scheme, so a lot of my work is custom orders.”

Niccum has participated in Penrod since 2006.

Tickets are $15 and are available at penrod.org. View Niccum’s work on Facebook at @pamniccumglass.

Kids can enjoy high energy, family friendly rock ‘n’ roll when Kid Kazooey & the BallRoom Roustabouts hit the MUSIC stage Sept. 14 at the Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Peanut Butter & Jam series. It’s the second time the Bloomington-based group will perform at the center.

“The BallRoom Roustabouts play rock ‘n’ roll/pop music not unlike They Might Be Giants or NRBQ or the Violent Femmes but at low volumes and with thematic material that matches our mission statement and is always all-ages appropriate,” said Kevin MacDowell, aka Kid Kazooey. “We play mostly original music, with a few choice cover tunes thrown in. Like the golden years of Sesame Street, we play first for children’s enjoyment and then aim strategically just over their heads to let their parents know we haven’t forgotten about them.”

The BallRoom Roustabouts formed when MacDowell, who had recently graduated from Indiana University and was waiting tables at restaurants in Bloomington while

Artomobilia adds specialty event

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Artomobilia will expand its weekend lineup with a fourth event and a third day in 2020.

“Revolanté: A Celebration CAR SHOW of Revolutionary Automobiles” is set for Aug. 23, 2020, in Carmel. It will be held a day after Artomobilia is conducted in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

The announcement was made during Artomobilia’s closing awards ceremony Aug. 24.

The concours-style event will support the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum through ticket sales. The IMS Museum offers several programs preserving and sharing, through exhibits, tours and educational events, the history of IMS and Indiana’s automotive heritage.

“We have a diamond right under our nose with the IMS Museum,” said John Leonard, co-founder of Artomobilia. “Revolanté will be 100 cars that are absolutely gorgeous with incredible pedigrees. There will be tickets that you purchase for a very reasonable price and 100 percent of the sales will go to the IMS Museum.”

Ticket, sponsorship and location information for Revolanté is expected to be announced soon. Artomobilia and IMS Museum staff and officials are co-developing Revolanté, which is expected to attract high-end vintage autos and collectors from across the United States.

IMS Executive Director Betsy Smith said the new event will be “nice icing on the cake” for Artomobilia.

“We’re excited about being able to tell our story about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and to talk about philanthropic needs with the larger community,” Smith said. “Most people think we are a department of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Brent Marty decided to tackle his fear of heights for a good cause.

Marty, Booth TarkingFUNDRAISER ton Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, agreed to skydive if a bid of $1,000 could be reached. Jr. Civic parent and Civic Guild member Angela Wagner had bought the skydive gift certificate and offered a starting bid of $1,000 at a fundraiser to see Marty do the jump.

“We initially raised $2,000 at our fundraiser in June, and our Facebook initiative related to the jump itself is getting close to $1,000,” Marty said. “We hope to exceed that.

The video is getting a lot of attention from my friends and family who can’t believe I did it.”

The Carmel resident jumped out of the plane Aug. 24 at 13,000 feet on a tandem dive with a Skydive Indy instructor.

“The experienced instructors and staff at Skydive Indianapolis (based in Frankfort) were top-notch and made everything smooth and easy to understand,” Marty

said. “The experience itself was, for me, exhilarating. It did help to be doing a tandem dive with an instructor strapped on my back and in control. I’m not sure I would have taken that last step out of the plane on my own.”

Marty said he is fine inside tall buildings and isn’t afraid of being on airplanes.

“But if I’m outdoors, like on a roof of a skyscraper or the edge of a canyon, etc., I get very weak in the knees,” he said.

Marty doesn’t foresee doing it again in the near future but would consider another dive for a good cause.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard Now that a well-known, well-liked professional quarterback has some time on his hands, rumor has it BEYOND THE that his wife has asked BACKDOOR him to use his extensive background in design and project planning to give their outdoor living space an upgrade. Odds are he’ll use some of the many tools we use to help our homeowners envision the various options available to them.

At the outset of our design process conversation, we encourage our homeowners to search the internet for images that appeal to them. They then share the images with us using applications such as Houzz and Pinterest. With a fresh perspective, we review the images, identify common themes and begin to document design ideas by drawing various plan options.

Our two-dimensional concepts allow us to consider how to coordinate the various disciplines and elements involved in the project, such as gas lines, electrical, pavers, grill stations, countertops, pergolas and fire features, to name a few. With the ability to

Correct grammar, Yoda’s speech is Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’ll have to admit, I don’t know much about “Star Wars.” Somehow, I missed the window to watch the GRAMMAR GUY movies during my formative years. Although I have glasses, write about grammar and prefer staying inside, my lack of “Star Wars” appreciation makes others seriously second-guess my nerd street cred.

Yoda is an awesome green Muppet who could go toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris in a head-to-head matchup.

But is Yoda’s grammar correct? His sentence structure is certainly odd. He says things like, “When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.”

Odd, that sounds. Talking like this, I don’t know why I am.

For the most part, English syntax (how we arrange our words) follows the same pattern. In order for a sentence to be complete, it needs a subject and a predicate.

The predicate always includes a verb and often includes an object.

Most English sentences follow the subject-verb-object order. In one of these popular laser sword space movies, according to Google, Darth Vader says, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” In this sentence, “I” is the subject, “find” is the verb and “lack of faith” is the object. Many other “Star Wars” quotes follow this subject-verb-object pattern. “I am your father.” “I think I just blasted it.” “Women always figure out the truth. Always.”

Yoda’s syntax follows a distinctly different pattern. For the most part, his sentences follow the object-subject-verb pattern. Let’s take this quote from Yoda: “Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.” In this sentence, “wonderful” appears first, serving as the object. This is followed by “mind,” the sentence’s subject. Finally, we get the verb, “is.” Object-subject-verb. Here’s a double: “Powerful (object) you (subject) have (verb) become; the dark side (object) I (subject) sense (verb) in you.” All of these sentences contain a subject and a predicate.

Therefore, the answer to the question is: Yes, Yoda’s speech pattern is grammatically correct; strange to our ears, it just sounds.

Commentary by Don Knebel Many people are aware that the “Lord of the Rings” series was filmed in New Zealand. Fewer TRAVEL know that one of its locations has become a popular tourist attraction.

In 1998, director Peter Jackson, a New Zealand resident, engaged a helicopter crew to find a site with topography matching his vision of Hobbiton, a village in the mythical Shire of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books. He selected a 1,200-acre sheep and cattle farm, with rolling grassy hills and a small lake, in the Waikato region in the upper North Island, about 100 miles south of Auckland. Workers transformed 14 acres of the farm into Hobbiton, building the exteriors of about 40 Hobbit homes of various sizes and colors from plywood and polystyrene and planting gardens and hedges. Workers constructed a huge artificial tree atop one of the hills and created the façade of the doublearched bridge and mill near the lake.

When filming ended in early 2000, about half of the Hobbit home exteriors remained and visitors started coming to the farm to get a look at Hobbiton. In 2002, the family owning the farm began offering guided tours of the area.

Jackson and his team returned to the site in 2009 to film “The Hobbit” trilogy. This time, crews constructed the exteriors of 44 Hobbit homes from

Wood floor repair – Some wood-floor scratches look worse than they really are.

If you run your fingers over the scratch and you don’t feel a deep gouge, try this remedy to make it disappear. Dab a bit of white toothpaste onto the minor scratch, and rub it in with a damp sponge. Wipe the scratch area completely clean with a dry cloth, and your scratch should be gone.

more permanent materials and added details that would withstand closer inspection. Because the interior scenes of the Hobbit homes were filmed in a studio, the interiors of the homes are not finished. In 2012, a replica of the Green Dragon Inn, serving refreshments, was added at the end of the 2-hour tour route. For Tolkien fans, a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set is a

necessity on a trip to New Zealand. For everyone else, it is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
