Proposed budget grows 6.4 percent

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel City Council took its first public look at the proposed 2019 budget during two August workshops.

CITY NEWS The proposed $149 million budget represents a 6.4 percent increase from the 2018 budget and includes 3 percent cost of living raises for most city employees.

The city’s tax rate is expected to remain at 79 cents per $100 of assessed value.

“The reason the city can increase the budget without increasing rates is based on growth we continue to experience,” city spokesman Dan McFeely said.

Highlights include: • Five additional police officers

• Additional street department maintenance operations • IT upgrades for community services • $125,000 in seed money to launch an international film festival • $20,000 for new furniture and furniture repairs in the mayor’s office • $50,000 for the Carmel Fund community initiative, a matching grant program through Legacy Fund • 5 percent increase for the arts over 2018 • $28,000 to contract with the Carmel Clay Historical Society for photo archiving services • $25,000 increase for mental health services for police officers • 12 new vehicles and a new salt truck for the street department State law requires that the budget be approved by Nov. 1. The council is likely to schedule a public hearing on the budget in October.

The Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation budget is proposed to increase 9 percent for 2019, with much of the MONON BOULEVARD jump in the $3.5 million budget tied to upkeep of Monon Boulevard, which is under construction.

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission is spearheading the $20 million-plus project between the Arts & Design District and Midtown area, which includes widening the Monon Trail, dedicated bike lanes, new one-way streets and construction of a public plaza near the new Sun King Distillery.

“It’s creating in that center area next to the Monon an urban park space,” CCPR Chief Operating Officer Michael Klitzing said.

Klitzing said the project is projected to be complete in July 2019, at which time CCPR is expecting to maintain it as it does the other trails in Carmel.

The Monon Boulevard project includes installation of a new playground, splash pad area, outdoor game tables, public art and more. The Monon Plaza area under construction just south

of the new Sun King Distillery is designed to host events, such as concerts or outdoor movies, that are currently held elsewhere in town.

Increases in CCPR’s 2019 budget tied to Monon Boulevard include: • $100,735 for a new full-time position and part-time maintenance for Monon Boulevard (also includes merit increases for other employees) • $49,200 for grounds maintenance at Monon Boulevard • $46,000 for a truck and utility task vehicle for Monon Boulevard • $21,000 for utilities at Monon Boulevard and a new Monon trailhead in Central Park

Ford tries for senate seat again

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com After losing the 2014 election to Republican Mike Delph by more than 2,000 votes, Democrat J.D. Ford is back to POLITICS run for the District 29 seat in the Indiana State Senate.

Ford is an Ohio native who moved to Indiana in 2005 after graduating from the University of Akron with a bachelor’s degree in political science and criminal justice. He later graduFord ated from Purdue University with a master’s degree in education.

Professionally, Ford has worked with Theta Chi Fraternity in various roles and substitute teaches while on the campaign trail.

Ford credits his internship with the Ohio Senate for igniting his passion for state politics.

“I could’ve gone to do a federal internship, but I chose to do state politics because I feel like it’s closer to the people,” he said.

Ford, an Indianapolis resident, said he decided to run in 2014 because he felt that Sen. Delph didn’t connect well with constituents and that the General Assembly wasn’t an accurate representation of Indiana.

“I didn’t see a lot of people of color in the General Assembly,” he said. “There are not enough women in the General Assembly. Me personally, I would be (Indiana’s) first LGBT member of the general assembly, so there’s no representation for the LGBT community, so that’s an important piece to me as well.”

Ford said he feels more prepared this year. His goal is to listen to constituents and build rapport with other senators to be able to pass bills.

CAMPAIGN PLATFORMS Education: Strengthen public schools and respect teachers Economy: Create high-paying jobs Elections: Eliminate gerrymandering Equality: Pass a hate crimes bill and increase LGBTQ representation Environment: Provide clean air and water

Sweeney ‘a ways off’ from coaching return

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com After Kevin Sweeney suffered a devastating back and neck injury when slammed to the ocean floor on vacation in CHS in July the Dominican Republic, he was definitely in need of a lift.

Sweeney, who was named Carmel High School girls basketball coach in May, got a larger boost than he could have ever expected.

Sweeney “The Carmel community has been amazing,” said Sweeney, a Carmel resident. “The letters and cards I’ve received, the help with meals for our family, support from the church communities and leadership, it’s been unreal how supportive everybody’s been. Friends, family, people I have never met have gone out of their way to help.”

A GoFundMe campaign was set up for Sweeney and more than $60,000 has been raised toward the $75,000 goal to help with medical bills. Medical insurance did not cover the expensive flight from the Dominican Republic to Indianapolis for surgery.

Sweeney, 53, and his wife, Brieann, have five sons, K.J., 13, Brady, 11, Connor, 11, Reilly, 10, and Bennett, 5.

“My wife has been unbelievable during this entire ordeal,” he said. “She has been so supportive, strong and encouraging while maintaining a normal life for our boys.”

A timeout Sweeney is the director of operations and finance for St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church and part-time church administrator for Carmel United Methodist Church. He said surgeons believe he will be able to perform office work in the near future but hasn’t been cleared yet.

However, he said the prognosis for coaching is a different story.

“The way I like to coach, the physical dedication and demands that it takes for a program like Carmel, and the involvement that the players should expect from their coach, all the scouting, I think I am quite a ways off from those expectations,” said Sweeney, who previously coached girls high school basketball at Bishop Chatard and Lawrence North.

Erin Trimpe is serving as CHS acting girls basketball coach. Sweeney said Athletic Director Jim Inskeep and Principal Thomas

Harmas have been supportive and encouraging during his recovery.

The accident On July 31, Sweeney was in the ocean with four of his sons while his wife and youngest son were on the beach.

“A large wave caught me from behind and lifted me, slamming my forehead into the ocean floor,” he said. “My arms immediately went numb and unresponsive, pain shot through my neck and into my shoulder blades and I was not able to keep myself standing. I knew I was hurt and was in trouble. I was briefly able to lift my head to call to my wife. By the time she got to me, I was underwater and not able to get help myself. As it turned out, I broke my C3, C5, C6, C7, T2 and T3 vertebrate. She and two of my sons got me out of the ocean and to the beach.”

Following surgery, Sweeney said the doctor said there was more damage than the MRI indicated.

“With the types of injuries incurred, not having paralysis, I am lucky,” he said. “I still have numbness/tingling in my right arm and hand and pain in the neck and back areas.

I will remain in my neck brace for three months.”

District 2 race contested

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Pam Knowles wasn’t originally planning to seek a third term on the Carmel Clay Schools board of SCHOOL BOARD trustees. But with major changes taking place during the 2017-18 school year, she changed her mind.

“Since I helped put Dr. (Michael) Beresford in his new superintendent position, I felt it was important to try to continue the continuity that we currently have as a school board and Knowles try not to make too many changes for him as he’s trying to get acclimated to our school system,” said Knowles, the board’s vice president.

Venkata Tadikonda, an IT professional with three children in CCS and one a recent graduate, disagrees. He has filed to run against Knowles in the Nov. 6 election for the District 2 seat.

Tadikonda said he respects the experience of the current school board members but believes it’s time for a change.

“We need new blood and a fresh outlook,” he said. “What worked 10 years ago may not work now.”

Tadikonda, who moved to Carmel 14 years ago, said the school board’s handling of the resignation of former Supt. Nicholas Wahl and proposed changes to its high-ability program were among the reasons he decided to run.

“Policies are being made in a rush. (The school board) is making decisions as if somebody is chasing them,” he said.

Knowles, a former thirdgrade teacher at Orchard Park Elementary, acknowledged that the school board could have done a Tadikanda better job addressing some of the controversial issues that arose in the past year.

“Transparency wasn’t as good as it could have been. Some of the things that were implemented or done probably could’ve been done a little bit better,” she said. “We have put a hold on everything we did last year, especially with the high-ability program, as the board realized that was an area that we needed to further investigate rather than make quick decisions.”

Main, Gray closure planned

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The intersection of Gray Road and Main Street will soon close again for completion of a new roundabout.

ROADS The closure is planned for Sept. 17 to 27, weather permitting. Final work on the roundabout is expected to wrap up by Oct. 1.

“As we’ve had the contractor working under traffic there had been some safety concerns,” Carmel City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said. “There’s some things that need to take place in the middle of the road that make it very difficult to maintain traffic, so instead of switching which part is closed

every day, which would really confuse everyone, we’re going to close it down.”

The project was originally planned to be complete in August. Three legs of the roundabout opened before Carmel Clay Schools went back in session Aug. 14, but the south leg has remained closed since the project began in mid-June.

Utility relocation has led to much of the delay, Kashman said.

“Working through the relocation efforts, there were some (utilities) that were relocated but ended up being in the way,” Kashman said.

Landscaping work is planned in the new roundabout and two others along Gray Road this fall, but it is not expected to lead to road closures.

Carmel vet donates wheelchairs

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel resident and Iraq veteran Eric Donoho was recently asked to photograph a trek through the HimaGIVING BACK layas organized through No Barriers Warriors, a division of No Barriers USA. Part of the trip included a humanitarian effort at the Center for Disabled Children Assistance in Kathmandu, Nepal. Many of the children suffer from cerebral palsy and are in need of wheelchairs. While Donoho was researching what he would be allowed to photograph, he noticed most of the children were getting around in a make-shift form of transportation.

“As I was looking through their website, I saw lots of kids getting around on skateboards,” Donoho said. “When I talked to the founder about the needs of the kids, he said their greatest need was wheelchairs.”

A father himself, Donoho felt compelled to help. He raised $9,450 in three months to purchase wheelchairs to take to Nepal.

With the help of Reach Out and Care Wheelchairs, Donoho was able to purchase eight wheelchairs.

He shipped the wheelchairs through an

airline. Upon his arrival, he was able to visit CDCA. “As a parent myself, you could just sympathize to how they felt,” Donoho said. “I expected my heart to be warmed by the kids and it was, but the real rewarding moments were the looks of relief on the parents’ faces.”

An illness forced Donoho to head home early and miss photographing the trek up the mountain.

“You’re never guaranteed that things are going to go perfectly,” Donoho said. “The fact that I got to spend the time there was amazing.”

Church to celebrate 60 years

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Longtime Carmel Christian Church member Judy Gest has experienced more than her share of heartache.

FAITH Throughout it, her church community has been there for her.

“We heal each other heart-to-heart,” said Gest, who joined the church in 1964. “In the lowest part of your life you have people that are right there for you and lift you up.”

Gest’s son, Dan, died of AIDS in 1995.

“He was very open and he would talk to the church,” Gest said. “I’ve lost several people, my mother, my aunt, my husband, my daughter and son. All that embracing love of the church makes you want to give back. You want to be there for them as they were for you.”

Rev. Jerry Zehr, who has served as pastor since 2014, said that is keeping with the Disciples of Christ denomination’s welcoming philosophy.

“This has always been an inclusive church and wants to be a place for hope and healing,” said Zehr, whose wife, Diane, is a church minister as well.

The church, 463 E. Main St., will celebrate its 60th anniversary Sept. 23. It will begin with a reception to greet former ministers from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. The 10:30 a.m. worship session will feature former CCC ministers Drexel Rankin, Steve Moore and Danny Gulden delivering the message. The celebration luncheon is set for 11:45 p.m.

Janet Randall’s parents, Charles and Sarah Wilson, were charter members of the church. Randall, a lifelong Carmel resident,

was 15 at the time.

The basement of the Masonic Lodge was rented as a permanent meeting place until they could build on the land that was purchased at Fourth and Main streets.

Randall and her husband, Neal, had the first wedding in the church in 1962. Neal, who was born in Carmel, and Janet were both Carmel High School graduates.

The church has been in its current building since 1981.

“Carmel has changed incredibly since the late 1950s,” Randall said. “We had the same trouble every church does getting started, and there were several small churches beginning at the same time in Carmel.”

The first meeting to see if there was interest in starting a Christian church in Carmel was in Pattison Hall at the former site of Carmel High School on Jan. 5, 1958.

Attendees agreed there was interest. For several weeks the group held services at 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoons with ministers of various Christian churches in Hamilton County delivering the message. Robert Andry eventually was hired as interim minister.

Richard Geib was selected to be the first minister in October 1958 and stayed until 1967.

“It began just as Hamilton County Christian Church, but very early they became part of Disciples of Christ,” Zehr said.

Zehr said helping in the community has always been important to the members. The church has a Peace Garden. The vegetables grown in the garden are given to the Carmel United Methodist food bank.

Church opens time capsule

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Hazel Dell Christian Church, formerly known as Woodland Springs Christian Church, is celebrating its 50th HISTORY anniversary this year. As part of the celebration, church members attended an event to open a time capsule that had been sealed since the church’s founding in 1968.

Initially, four couples planned a church in Carmel in 1967 when they anticipated growth on the north side of Indianapolis.

The land was puchased in 1968, and the building was finished in 1971.

The church moved from its original location at 3405 E. 116th St. to 146th Street and Hazel Dell Road in 2000. Its original location on 116th Street is occupied by the Chinese Community Church. The time capsule was placed in a sealed copper box inside of a limestone block on the exterior of the building. Kent Grubaugh, the son of one of the church’s founding couples, removed the limestone block and retrieved the time capsule.

Contents included a church bulletin, documents with the names of church board officers, a list of the charter membership, a

city map of Carmel and a four-page history of the church.

Keith Stockberger is a lifelong church member and was present when the time capsule was sealed in 1971. Now 56, he still lives in Carmel and attends Hazel Dell Christian Church.

“It is your family when you worship every Sunday with the same people your entire life,” he said. “It’s been neat to see how that church that a few people had a vision for in such a small community has become a part of the community.”

An anniversary celebration was scheduled during the Aug. 26 services.

Love for Doo and LBJ, too

O B S E R V AT I O N

Hurry home Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We all reach that tipping point in life – the one where our lives go from the endless activities of our children and families to more quiet times at home. Gone are the study tables and gym bags, replaced by empty rooms and open seats for evening meals. It is the natural way of things, but doesn’t make it easy. Rightly, the youngsters are filled with anticipation, and perhaps apprehension, as their lives lurch forward. New sights, sounds, rights and responsibilities flood in and are processed and soon mastered.

Unmoving, our days shift little. We walk the same halls. We sit in the same chairs.

We live the same. Except, that the little ones that used to fill our homes with noise and joy are either away or cloistered in their rooms confronting the homework and required tasks of the coming day.

Flummoxed by the concern expressed by a younger sibling, a recently returning college student expressed her frustration, “Why does my little brother care so much that I’m gone? I’ll be back at Thanksgiving!”

True. But while the big sister’s days are filled with new and more, little brother is confronted with absence and less.

As summer smolders to an end and the streets are increasingly littered with falling leaves, we return to our winter cadence. We wake, and retire, at more consistent hours.

The sun streams in only as we are preparing for our days, and nightfall arrives hours before the nightly news. Even as we hope for the next chapter, we long for that which is forever passed. Yet, do we really want for things to stay the same? Isn’t the only thing worse than watching them mature and leave the house is having them not?

I never thought I’d be comparing my husband, Doo, to my president-crush Lyndon Johnson, but apparently once your life as a dance mom ends, you resort to HUMOR weird topics.

As an American history teacher, I “fall in love” with historical figures all the time. Alexander Hamilton, Martin Luther King Jr., Ruth Bader Ginsburg — they each make my Top Five. But during the last few years, I’ve consistently come back to LBJ as my No. 1. The way the 6-foot-4, foul-mouthed Texan, who came to the presidency in the wake of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, essentially bullied Congress into passing some of the greatest pieces of domestic legislation ever, and then crashed down amid the chaos and confusion of Vietnam, speaks to me in ways that other dead people, or soon-to-die people, don’t.

And I just now realized the reason I’m obsessed with LBJ is because I’m attracted to bad boys with good hearts. Case in point, my husband. The direct opposite of me, he drinks, occasionally smokes and can still party like it’s 1999. But he also isn’t afraid to fight for things he deems right. During Labor Day weekend, for example, one of our sisters-in-law returned from a walk, upset that some old lady had blocked her from going down a street which, though marked “private,” has always been open to the community. Doo was immediately up in arms, beer in hand of course. “Let’s protest! I’m going down there right now! Free the lane!”

Clearly, not as important as equality for all, but the passion is the same. And that’s why I love Doo (and LBJ).

Ugh, I miss dance.

Peace out.

Will voters re-elect rubber stamp council?

Commentary by John V. Accetturo

It’s been politics as usual in Carmel as both the mayor and a city councilor told local media that there was no rush to complete the revised city council district ordinance. Thus, it seems funny that Jeff Worrell, a current councilman, and Adam Aasen, a favorite of the mayor, announced in Current that they were running for city council and in what positions. It is apparent that the only people who don’t know the layout of the new districts are the people of Carmel and anyone who might seek a position on the city council who is not hand-picked by Mayor Brainard.

This city council voted Carmel into second class city status in 2016, so why weren’t the new council districts established and codified in an ordinance? It was politics. You see, despite the fact that I lived in Carmel for 38 years, I experienced Chicago politics living in that area for years. Yes, like the Boss Mayor Dailey, Mayor Brainard is Carmel’s Boss and wants no opposition or questioning. He loves his current council, which has approved 99 percent of what he wants with few questions. What better situation for the Boss than a rubber-stamp council?

Some might say that I am against

everything, hate Mayor Brainard and want to move Carmel backward. That is absolutely false. Mayor Brainard deserves credit for the many good things he has done with Carmel; however, having absolute power is dangerous. I believe that is why our forefathers established a government structure with three branches.

Carmel needs the checks and balances of an independent city council. You don’t have that with the mayor funding council members’ political campaigns and assisting them in other areas.

Yes, Carmel is a nice place to live and invest in a home, but we do have government issues that need to be vetted publicly before being implemented or voted down. I have seen little of that happening with the current council. Thus, the real question is whether residents of Carmel will make the Boss happy by re-electing all the current council members or vote for others who will ask tough questions and publicly vet the issues.

Remembering an inclusive friend Editor, I recently attended the funeral services for my friend, Dr. Shahid Athar. Dr. Athar, a prominent endocrinologist at St. Vincent Hospital, was a man of science; he was also a person of profound faith, one of the pillars of the Muslim community in Indiana. From the time that (my wife) Sandy and I arrived in Indianapolis four decades ago, we befriended Dr. Athar and had the privilege of engaging with him in interfaith dialogue and community service.

We would speak before the nurses and administrators at hospitals to help the staff better understand and serve the needs of Jewish and Muslim patients. We also addressed houses of worship and civic organizations about Jewish-Muslim relations, and about medical, faith and ethical concerns.

Dr. Athar would often talk to me about one of his medical heroes, Moses Maimonides, the rabbinic scholar, scientist and physician of Cordova and Egypt in the 12th and 13th centuries. This was toward the end of the period when Christian, Muslim and

Jewish science and letters flourished side by side in Spain. Regrettably, this age of coexistence would come to an end with the religious wars and persecutions that led to the Inquisition and the expulsion of Jews and Moors from Spain in 1492.

Shahid and I hoped to emulate that era here in Indianapolis. We were joined by committed Christian colleagues, notably a young pastor, the Rev. Jerry Zehr. Together, with other colleagues we founded the Northside Interfaith Project, which expanded into the Indianapolis Interfaith Alliance, to educate our congregations and community about the richness and diversity of the religious and cultural landscape in this Midwestern heartland. At a time of increasing division and religious intolerance, Dr. Athar modeled inclusion and acceptance.

Dr. Athar’s journey blessed our city. May he rest in peace, and may his trajectory be an inspiration to all of us.

The Wolfsie house is for sale, and we have settled into a new home just a few blocks away. This was a moving experience, to be sure, but there was nothHUMOR ing settling about it.

Prior to closing on the new house, we did something the builder calls a “celebration walk,” or our opportunity to nitpick every paint blemish, wobbly cabinet door and crooked electric socket before we coughed up the last portion of our down payment. My wife researched what to look for before we took possession. She wanted to ensure the structure’s soundness, and that there were no leaks or strange odors.

I’m not sure I could pass that test.

Our home of the past 35 years is going on the market. We consider ourselves neat and clean people, but when we started pulling furniture and appliances from against the walls, we found old keys, pennies and Bic pens everywhere. There were dog biscuits under the couch, and we haven’t had a dog for five years. When we found a clean diaper behind the washer, I gave it to our 31-year-old son.

I told Mary Ellen every night for 35 years that I was tired and was going “up” to bed. I couldn’t say that anymore because we don’t have a second level. Now I have to say, “I’m going across to bed.”

“That’s crazy, Dick. Just say ‘I’m going to bed.’”

“It’s a hard habit to break. It would be like all of a sudden having to say, ‘Good night, Vivian,’ instead of, ‘Good night, Mary Ellen.’ That’s why I’ll never remarry.”

The second evening, Mary Ellen caught me pacing, confused.

“What can’t you find, Dick? Glasses?

Phone? Wallet?”

“No, the bathroom. I keep turning the wrong way.”

We just enjoyed our first meal in our new kitchen. My wife asked, “Do you think we’ll ever move again?”

“Mary Ellen, this house will be perfect for us for another 30 years.”

Which was a subtle way of saying, “Over my dead body.”

The right age for contacts Commentary by Dr. Matthew Clark Summertime activities are hard on glasses, driving many families in to discuss contact lenses for their EYE HEALTH kids. Contacts can be a fantastic option for children, often providing a big confidence boost once they shed their frames. Young athletes, especially, find freedom from the burden of dirty, fogging and often scratched or broken glasses.

In our office, the conversation about contacts usually begins around age 9, though we often fit younger kids who are motivated and able. Many will leave wearing contacts that same day, while others may require a few training visits to get the hang of the technique. A study by the American Optometric Association found that 90 percent of children ages 8-11 are successful in learning to use contacts.

Easily the most important factor in a successful contact lens fit is motivation. You may be excited about seeing their beautiful face without glasses in the way, but if the child is not motivated to learn, the training can be very frustrating for them. A chal-

Handling Hand & Arm Pain Join Dr. Christy Kellams, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, as she presents treatment options for common hand and arm problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, repetitive use and other conditions. A light dinner will be served.

lenging initial experience often turns them off to the idea of contacts in the future. It’s best to let them decide that they’re ready.

The other main consideration should be hygiene and maturity. Do you have to remind them daily to brush their teeth and wash their hands? Adding another critical hygienic step to their routine may be difficult for both of you.

Kids should start in daily disposable lenses, which require less maintenance and carry a lower infection risk than monthlyreplacement lenses. We also recommend a UV-protected lens, of which there are many now available for no additional cost. A little UV protection goes a long way over potentially 50-plus years of contact lens wear.

Regardless of their age, if you think your kid is ready, then we’d agree! You know them best. With some good instruction, motivation and support, they’ll be glasses-free in no time.

Rosemary Clooney

Jimmy Van Heusen

Marilyn Maye

Songbook Hall of Fame to honor Clooney, Van Heusen and Maye

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Great American Songbook Foundation Executive Director Chris Lewis, there were distinct reasons to start the Hall of Fame.

“The whole reason behind the Great American MUSIC Songbook Hall of Fame is really to honor those, first, who helped create the beginning of American popular music, and within that we try to always honor a songwriter, someone who helped create the soundtrack of our life,” Lewis said. “Then we try to honor an iconic performer who sang and performed the music and someone who is still carrying on the tradition of the Great American Songbook and music that lasts beyond the time it was written.”

Actress-singer Rosemary Clooney, Academy Award-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen and cabaret and musical theater star Marilyn Maye will be inducted into the Hall of Fame Sept.

15. Along with singer-actor Chris Isaak, Songbook Youth Ambassadors Finn Sagal (2017) and Lily Rasmussen (2018) will perform at the Songbook Celebration at 8:30 p.m. at the Palladium in Carmel.

Clooney, who died in 2002 at 74, is one of two legend award inductees. She will be represented by her brother, Nick Clooney, who is the father of actor George Clooney.

“Rosemary is one of the most recognizable voices in American popular music,” Lewis said. “Even those who aren’t familiar with her recordings know her from ‘White Christmas’ and her iconic film roles and duets with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby on the Nelson Riddle albums.”

Van Heusen is honored as the other legend award winner.

“He is a name people might not recognize right away but everyone knows his songs,” Lewis said. “He and one of his longtime writing partners, Sammy Cahn, wrote more than 80 songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. The songs he wrote are still used for commercials, movies and television shows.”

Van Heusen and lyricist Johnny Burke won an award for Best Original Song for “Swinging on a Star” in 1944. Clooney later had

a popular recording of the song as well. Van Heusen and lyricist Cahn won Academy Awards for Best Song for “All the Way” in 1957, “High Hopes” in 1958 and “Call Me Irresponsible.”

Van Heusen, who died in 1990 at 77, will be represented by his nephew Brook Babcock, president of Van Heusen Music Corp.

Maye, who is slated to attend, is still performing regularly at 90. She plans to sing a few numbers.

“Maye is a powerhouse and was a recording star in the ’50s and ’60s,” Lewis said. “She has the distinction of having appeared on the ‘The Tonight Show’ with Steve Allen, and then Johnny Carson, more than any other singer in history. She appeared on the show 76 times.”

Maye recorded several albums for RCA Victor in the 1960s and performed in theater and supper clubs around the nation.

“When rock and roll came in and music tastes changed and supper clubs went away, she never stopped working, but not in as high-profile a setting until a few years ago when she was invited to sing at the New York Cabaret Convention and she brought the house down,” Lewis said. “She began performing all over New York and there was really a renewed interest in her style and her singing. I’ve seen her many times through the years. She sounds as good now as she ever did. She is our new standard award (recipient) because she is still carrying on the legacy.”

Under the theme “Swinging on a Star,” the Songbook Celebration begins with a 5 p.m. cocktail reception, followed by dinner in the concert hall, live auction, program and after-party. Tables seating four to 10 guests for the entire evening are available for purchase at SongbookGala@TheCenterPresents.org.

Tickets for the after-dinner portion start at $100. The tickets include gallery or box seating for the 8:30 p.m. Hall of Fame induction ceremony, followed by Isaak’s headline performance as well as admission to the all-inclusive after-party, with dancing and complimentary drinks and desserts in three uniquely themed rooms from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Carmel PorchFest will feature a variety of free musical acts, ranging from acoustic to electric, from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Sept. 16.

The first PorchFest was held in Ithaca, N.Y. in 2007. Since then, it has expanded to many cities across the U.S., with Carmel holding its first event in 2014.

There will be solo and ensemble performances at 20 different porches, with three acts on some porches and two on others.

The expected music performers will range from electric to acoustic groups, string quartets and garage bands.

The PorchFest area will be open to foot traffic only. The area is 1st Avenue NW and 2nd Avenue NW between 1st Street NW and 6th Street NW in Old Town Carmel. The area is between Range Line Road and the Monon Trail and north of Main Street and south of 136 Street/Smokey Row Road.

The event is staged by a large group of volunteers from Carmel and surrounding areas.

The schedule of performers and maps can be found at carmelporchfest.org.

Noblesville — “A Time to Re-Member,” art pieces depicting scenes from yesteryear, will be on display at Nickel Plate Arts through Sept. 29. For gallery hours, visit nickelplatearts.org.

Fishers — Concerts on the Central Green features Phil Pierle at noon Sept. 12.

Zionsville — CV Art and Frame Gallery, 110 S. Main St., will hold public receptions from 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 and 4 to 8 p.m Sept. 15 as part of an exhibit featuring works of Peter Max. Carmel — The Center for Creative Arts (CCA) Gallery, 111 W. Main St., Suite 135, will hold a 40th anniversary celebration from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 15.

Carmel — Midnight Noon will perform from 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 12 at Summer Family Concert Series at the Gazebo.

Lady Antebellum set for Ruoff

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In Lady Antebellum co-lead vocalist Hillary Scott’s view, Darius Rucker is the perfect touring partner.

CONCERT Lady Antebellum and Rucker’s Summer Plays On tour stops in Noblesville for a 7:30 p.m. Sept.

14 performance at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center.

Scott said Rucker has been a musical hero to Scott and bandmates Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley for several years and became a good friend.

“It’s awesome to be able to be on tour with him and his camp,” Scott said. “Everyone is so kind and gets along great and has a blast. It carries into the live show, which is one of the most collaborative shows we’ve ever had.”

Typically, there are several spontaneous moments.

“One night Darius randomly walked out and did the guitar change for Dave, which was hilarious,” Scott said. “Our opener, Russell Dickerson, has so much energy and such great music. It’s a lot of guys, and I luckily get to be the only girl on the stage every night, which I take as a huge honor.”

“ Th

Scott said Rucker’s country solo career started around the same time Lady Antebellum was formed in 2006. Rucker gained fame as the lead vocalist for Hootie & the Blowfish.

Scott said they play three or four songs from their 2017 album, “Heart Break,” as well as other fan favorites.

Scott’s husband, Lady Antebellum drummer Chris Tyrrell, is taking the tour off to be with their three daughters, 5-year-old Eisele Kaye and twins Betsy Mack and Emory JoAnn, who were born in January.

Oates to perform at Butler

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The music of Mississippi blues artist John Hurt was rediscovered during the revival of folk music in the 1960s.

CONCERT That caught John Oates’ ear.

“I was very much into the folk music in those days. I saw (Hurt) at Philadelphia Folk Festival and various coffee houses around Philadelphia when I was a kid,” Oates said.

“I was given a chance to play his guitar when it was given to my guitar teacher after he passed away (in 1966). I eventually bought that guitar that he played in the early ‘60s when he was rediscovered.”

Oates, who is accustomed to playing in large arenas and amphitheaters with his music partner Daryl Hall, will perform with The Good Road Band at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at Butler University’s 450-seat Schrott Center for the Arts in Indianapolis.

Oates recently wrapped up a Hall & Oates tour, playing in large arenas.

“I just spent five months on tour, playing in front of 10,000 and 15,000 people. You can’t compare that to almost anything,” Oates said. “The balance of having an inti-

e g F r e o s e t i G v . a t l S

mate connection with the audience where I can tell stories and put the songs into context and play a completely different style of music, it’s really great for me. It makes me feel good that I have people accept me on both levels. It’s grounding. It gives you a chance to kind of get your feet back on the ground.”

Oates is touring in support of his album, “Arkansas,” released in January.

GHDT presents ‘The Casket Girls’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Cory Gabel and Gregory Hancock collaborated on “The Casket Girls” for the first time in 2009, creating a one-act play.

DANCE “From the get-go we knew we would expand it to a fulllength play,” Gabel said. “After it ran we were definitely happy with it and the audience was, too. We wanted to expand it to a full play, but life and other projects got in the way.”

Now, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s full-length production of “The Casket Girls,” a modern gothic vampire ballet, is ready for its debut at 7 p.m. Sept. 21-22 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I worked with Gregory to craft the story and characters, but my bigger role is the music,” said Gabel, a composer/musician from Simsbury, Conn.

Gabel composed the music.

“There is a little bit of vocals here and there,” Gabel said. “There is an alternative rock style and some orchestral parts, but it’s more rock ’n’ roll. With the vampire element, it’s meant to be an edgier, darker show.”

Gabel said apart from a few small tweaks, Act I is presented as it was in 2009.

“Having a vampire as your main character, they don’t die,” Gabel said. “Act II we are leaping forward to the future. Act I roughly was in the 1750s, and Act II is now closer to modern times.”

The legend has “The Casket Girls” arriving in New Orleans in 1729. Hancock described the play as a fascinating tale of the origins of vampires in New Orleans.

Center says thanks Commentary by Jeff McDermott The 2018-19 performance season is kicking into high gear at the Center for the Performing Arts, but before PALLADIUM we get too far along, I want to thank the entire community for all the support that made this past season so successful.

The Center takes seriously its role as an economic catalyst for the City of Carmel and a gathering place for the central Indiana community. It is wonderful to see, after just a few years of operation, how local residents, organizations and businesses have embraced the Center as their own.

During the course of the 2017-18 season at our three venues, 106,450 patrons attended performances presented by the Center, its six resident companies and other arts groups. Those events included 88 Civic Theatre performances; 83 Actors Theatre of Indiana performances; seven Carmel Symphony Orchestra performances; and 16 performances by the Indiana Wind Symphony, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and Central Indiana Dance Ensemble.

Our own Center Presents series of 47 performances included 14 sellouts at the Palladium, with average paid attendance

increasing 40 percent from the previous year to 920 per event. Subscription sales rose by 23 percent, and first-time visitors accounted for a whopping 37 percent of our ticket sales.

Another key segment of our work in the community is providing education and enrichment opportunities for people of all ages. Last season, those efforts included scores of adult classes in dance, ukulele, speech, standup comedy and vocal performance; nearly 30 interactive music sessions for toddlers and preschoolers; three performing arts day camps; and seven school field trips in which hundreds of students visited the Palladium to explore principles of physics with the Center’s lighting and audio professionals.

Indeed, the Center for the Performing Arts is fulfilling the vision of local leaders who placed the arts at the core of their strategy for building a vibrant community, repeatedly ranked as one of the best places to live in America.

Jeffrey C. McDermott, the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation, is an occasional columnist.

A favorite California winery Commentary by Elizabeth Morse On one of my first trips to Napa Valley, I was lucky to be a guest at Trefethen Family Vineyards. I stayed in WINEderlust their charming guesthouse and enjoyed delicious wine, French Laundry coffee, an enormous hawk that hung out on the deck and knowing that Julia Child also had stayed there. I fell in love with the property and always offered their wine at my restaurant.

This year, Trefethen is celebrating 50 years as one of a few remaining family owned wineries. They grow their grapes and bottle their wines on the estate in the Oak Knoll District. Here are my suggestions: 2017 Trefethen Dry Riesling is always a crowd-pleaser. It isn’t sweet, but the bright fruit offers peach, honey and grapefruit flavors, which gives an impression of sweetness – a perfumey, feminine style. The winery suggests dishes like lemon chicken and seared tuna, while I enjoy it most with Indian food. I dig it with chicken paté and ginger snaps, too. Around $26.

Normally, I don’t love Merlot, but Tre-

fethen’s 2015 is stylistically correct (ahhh!) and elegant. You’ll notice flavors like fresh raspberry and black pepper: silky and sexy.

If you ever grab a BBQ pizza at Some Guys (Indianapolis or Carmel), this wine will turn it into a fancy occasion. Could be pretty perfect with lasagna or a chocolate desert, too. Around $40 I encourage you to splurge on the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a little spendy but hey, you’re worth it. For special evenings featuring red meat (think steak au poivre or filet), it’s spot-on. The aromas of chocolate, coffee and brambly fruit are a bit of a surprise when you taste cherry pie in your glass, distinct oak, a little tannin and a lot of supple. Around $60 Let me know what you think, and cheers!

Joe’s Next Door Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 111 W. Main St. #110, Carmel What to get: Debris Po’ Boy Price: $10.99 Anna’s take: Joe’s Next Door is an extension of Joe’s Meat Market in downtown Carmel. The business is a cross a between a deli, local grocery and meat and seafood market. Joe’s Next Door offers hot and cold sandwiches with deli-style sides sold by the pound. I ordered the Debris Po’ Boy, a fusion of a traditional New Orleans po’ boy with spicy remoulade and seasonings with Indiana beef braised in a strong IPA called All Day IPA from Founders Brewing Co. A 5-ounce portion of the braised beef is sandwiched between two airy slices of French batard bread and topped with sunshine yellow heirloom tomatoes, pickled red onions and romaine lettuce. A garlic aioli is smeared on the bottom slice of bread.

Remoulade is spread on the top slice. The bread is toasted on the bottom to add a nice crunch, but it maintains its airiness throughout. The New Orleans-style remou-

The Debris Po’ Boy is a Midwestern twist on a New Orleans favorite.

lade gives the sandwich a hearty kick of heat. Those with a more sensitive palette can request less remoulade. The sandwich is wrapped in foil and served hot.

Joe’s Next Door is the perfect place to grab a couple of the cold sandwich options and items from its fresh market and head to a local park for an afternoon picnic.

Suggested pairings: A side of the cold street corn salad ($7.99 a pound) pairs excellently with the Debris Po’ boy. The corn salad is similar to elote, or Mexican street corn, but less messy because it has already been shaved off the cob. The salad is a creamy mix of sour cream and sweet corn, which pairs well with a little spice from diced jalapenos. Other ingredients include bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, cumin and paprika. Since the Debris Po’ boy beef is braised in the craft beer, pair the sandwich with a bottle of the IPA, also sold at Joe’s Next Door.

Blueprint for Improvement: Fishers basement fit for a sports fan Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Background info: This home in the Arbor Glen neighborhood of Fishers was still in great condition, but the basement needed some attention. The home was built in 2012. Although the basement was already finished, the owner was looking for a more custom design.

BEFORE PROBLEMS

The goal was to transform the existing basement into a more inviting space where the homeowner can entertain guests.

1. The largest transformation came by creating an entertainment system that allowed watching three sports games at once. Builtin cabinetry was added for storage.

2. In addition, the unfinished area of the basement was transformed into a home theater, making it a perfect place for large groups to gather.

3. There also were several updates made to the basement bar, including new cabinetry and replacing the upper cabinets with floating shelves, making the space feel more open.

4. Additionally, the bar backsplash was replaced with a geometric vinyl wallpaper adding visual interest to the space.

5. New luxury vinyl flooring was added throughout the lower level.

The original basement was only partially finished and felt very dark and crowded.

The unfinished portion was not being utilized by the homeowner. Space for entertaining guests was limited and there weren’t clearly defined spaces.

On adverbs and sandwiches Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt What’s a sandwich without a little sauce? And, by sauce, of course, I mean mustard. Without mustard, a sandwich is dry, boring and lifeless. Please, I GRAMMAR GUY don’t want any emails from the promayo lobby on this one. For me, it’s mustard or bust.

Adverbs are like sentence mustard. They add flavor and intensity to otherwise plain word sandwiches. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, or an entire sentence or clause. Most of us think of adverbs being words that always end in “ly.” The fact is, many adverbs do end in “ly.” Sam walked slowly to school. Hampton chortled heartily at Peggy’s pun. I frequently check my email.

On the other hand, there’s a long list of adverbs that do not end in “ly.” Keep these words in mind the next time you play Mad Libs on a road trip--they include afterward, never, next, often, and almost. These adverbs are like the honey mustard of sandwich condiments--you might not even think you’re eating mustard because they’re so sweet and discreet.

Adverbs never modify nouns -- that’s a job strictly reserved for adjectives. Adjectives are like sentence cheese to the noun’s meat; they make sure the adverb doesn’t touch the noun. You do put the mustard on top of the cheese and not directly on the meat, right? We’re not barbarians, after all.

The further I go into this metaphor, the hungrier I get. In this case, I suppose verbs are veggie toppings like lettuce, tomato and probably pickles (although I’m personally not a pickle person).

Adverbs give additional information about when, where or how something happens. How did Kenny run? Kenny ran quickly. When did Byron start doubting the moon landing?

Byron started doubting the moon landing yesterday. How frequently do you read the newspaper? I read the newspaper often.

Once you start noticing adverbs, you’ll see them everywhere. It’s kind of like buying a car — prior to buying the car, you don’t notice many of the same models on the road, but after you buy it, you see your same car everywhere.

Just be careful to not spill any mustard on your new interior.

Mushrooms in the meadow Commentary by Don Knebel Since February 2012, I have written about places I have visited. For this column, No. 300, the distance traveled was about 100 yards.

TRAVEL In the spring of 2009, my wife Jen and I closed on a small cabin in the woods of Brown County and immediately left for Turkey. Upon our return, we began exploring the areas around our cabin, one of which is a grassy hilltop area surrounded by trees. I call this our “meadow,” a word I learned as a toddler from “Little Boy Blue, Come Blow Your Horn” and had no chance to use since. In the meadow, we found what looked like mushrooms, but they were bright yellow.

We both thought that all mushrooms were either brown or white. As we walked around our meadow, we found more brightly colored mushrooms, red ones and blue ones and purple ones and orange ones and green ones and pink ones. We also found white mushrooms covered with black spots and black mushrooms covered with white spots.

Some mushrooms were shaped on top like pancakes and others looked like tiny parasols. Both of us took dozens of pictures of

Mushrooms in Don and Jen Knebel’s Brown County meadow. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

our discoveries. Every year since, our colored mushrooms have reappeared in about mid-June and disappeared about a month later. If the summer is wet enough, as it has been this year, they reappear.

We have learned more about colored mushrooms. There are many varieties in addition to the ones in our meadow and they all have names. Some colored mushrooms are edible and some can kill and there are no easy rules for determining which are which. We have learned something else

from our mushrooms. We can always make discoveries traveling around the world, but we also can make discoveries just by paying attention to what is in our own backyards.
