Carmel man works to engage Asian-Americans

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

According to the most recent U.S. census, Asian Americans are the largest minority in the city of Carmel, making up around profile 9 percent of the population. But those large numbers haven’t meant power at the polls during elections.

That disappoints local activist Raju Chinthala, and he’s working for it to change.

“When I looked at the data, the Asian population seems to be so shy and doesn’t want to get involved in politics,” he said. “Surprisingly, many of them become citizens but haven’t even registered to vote so that’s the sad part of it. So we want to get them registered to vote, no matter which party they choose to support.”

Chinthala, a speech pathologist who has lived in Carmel for three years, founded the AsianAmerican Indiana PAC to help encourage engagement. But the 48-year-old is also trying to step in and be a local leader as well.

Originally from India, he moved to Indiana in 1996 but didn’t really get involved in local politics until 2003. He volunteered for campaigns for Indianapolis City-County Council and became a U.S. citizen in 2008.

Today, he’s involved in numerous groups.

He was the event organizer for the first International Day of Yoga in Carmel. He is the president of the Indianapolis Hyderabad Sister City Committee, president of the International Marketplace Coalition and chairman of the Bully Prevention Alliance. Chinthala also led Indianapo-

lis Mayor Greg Ballard’s delegation to India in 2010 and 2013. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard appointed him to the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Human Relations.

Chinthala also threw his name out as a replacement for State Rep. Steve Braun, a post that ultimately went to Donna Schaibley, a former secretary of the Hamilton County Republican Party.

Chinthala said he definitely leans Republican but that the Asian-American Indiana PAC doesn’t take sides when it comes to parties.

He said he feels it’s his duty to be so involved.

“If I don’t get involved, then I can’t expect anything different,” he said. “So if I want to see change, then I need to be involved.”

About Raju Chinthala: • Age: 48 • Occupation: Speech language pathologist at Chinthala & Associates in Indianapolis • Residency: Moved to Indiana almost 20 years ago but moved to Carmel three years ago • Originally from: India • Education: Master’s degree in Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University and Master’s degree in Speech and Hearing from All India Institute of Speech & Hearing, Mysore, India.

• Political affiliation: Republican • Wife: Prasanna, a psychiatrist • Children: Anoop, 16, junior at University High School • What he loves about Carmel: “It’s the friendliest city I’ve ever been in. It’s got great culture. And I love the bike lanes and roundabouts.”

Carmel named Community of the Year

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel has been named the Community of the Year by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber cited achievement Carmel’s headquarters for more than 75 top national companies, new development, recognized school system and focus on the arts as reasons it was selected.

“Carmel’s success comes down to three things: vision, partnerships and perseverance,”

stated Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar in a press release. “City leaders have, time and again, avoided taking ‘the easy route.’ They’ve embraced challenges and taken risks that have transformed Carmel from a good community to an outstanding city. It’s highly regarded across the country and beyond as a city that ‘gets things done.’”

Mo Merhoff, president of the Carmel-Fishers Chamber of Commerce, OneZone, said this is great news for Carmel, a city surrounded by other “outstanding communities in Hamilton County.”

“Our view is that great businesses make great communities and Carmel is a perfect example of that,” Merhoff said. “The investment of businesses in Carmel has made major contributions to our great schools, parks, recreational and cultural opportunities and overall quality of life.”

The city will be recognized at the Indiana Chamber’s 26th Annual Awards Dinner Nov. 4 at the Indiana Convention Center. Political strategists James Carville and Karl Rove will headline the event. For more information, visit www. indianachamber.com.

Local human rights laws differ

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After the controversy surrounding the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act made national headlines, city news municipalities around Indiana have been deciding whether human rights ordinances are needed on the books. In July, Zionsville quietly passed a human rights ordinance, and now its neighbor to the east, Carmel, plans to vote on a similar ordinance at its Sept.

21 City Council meeting.

These ordinances aim to Brainard ban discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and other factors. Banning discrimination based on race or religion already exists in law, but protections weren’t previously available for gay or lesbian groups in many places.

Carmel's proposed ordinance has attracted considerable media attention, both locally and nationally. On the other hand, Zionsville's meeting quietly flew in under the radar.

"I was somewhat surprised by the difference in attention," Zionsville Town Council president Steve Mundy said. "From my knowl-

edge, our councilors didn't receive any negative input prior to the meeting. It was widely posted so it wasn't a secretive meeting."

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s watched other cities closely as Carmel refines its proposed ordinance.

“Carmel’s is simpler,” he said. “As opposed to setting up a board to deal with complaints, it’s easier to have it be the responsibility of the City Attorney’s Office to handle the investigation and make a decision.”

Zionsville’s town council created a non-discriminatorypractices review committee Mundy to consider complaints. This five-member board has the ability to fine violators up to $1,250 per incident or refer cases to police. The board held its first meeting Sept. 14.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s hometown of Columbus is also considering a similar antidiscrimination law. The city’s largest employer, Cummins, led the push for the proposed law.

“Cummins has also reached out to us to say that it’s important,” Brainard said. “A lot of people see Carmel as leaders in the state and what we do here will be watched very closely by others, so it’s important that we pass this.”

No vote on burn tower

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

One month after voting down plans for a new public safety training facility, the Hamilton County Council public safety on Sept. 2 shut down the majority-proposed resolution to fund a burn tower for county fire departments after no vote was taken.

At its Aug. 5 meeting, the council left a room full of cops, firefighters and other public safety officers, who were in support of the training facility, disappointed after denying the one-time $3 million investment request.

After voting against the whole facility, four councilors said they would support funding $568,000 for the burn tower, a key component in initial training facility plans.

The plan for the burn tower came across the desks of councilors again at the Sept. 2 meeting. The money would have come out of the council’s rainy day fund, which currently holds more than $20 million.

Councilor Glynn said the council did not put the fire tower up for a full vote after the Hamilton County Public Safety Board said they would need to reexamine the scope of the project.

In the letter, Hamilton County Public Safety Board Chairman George Kehl said, “How an 81

percent decrease in the overall scope affects the cost of completing the [burn] tower has yet to be determined. Accepting the $568,000 proposal without knowing the true cost to complete the project would be irresponsible … the Public Safety Training Center proposal identifies there is approximately $200,000+ in infrastructure improvements required to complete the original $3 million dollar project.

Carving out $568,000 for the multipurpose burn tower eliminates economies of scale for infrastructure improvements under the scope of the original $3 million dollar proposal. This would include, but not be limited to, earthwork, utilities, parking areas, roadways, etc. it is important to understand that these costs are now unknown as they apply to the multipurpose burn tower.”

Digital content now accessible

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel Clay Public Library cardholders now have expanded access to free digital content through a partnership that library launched Aug. 31.

The library became the 20th in the state to partner with Hoopla Digital, which allows users to view a variety of library material on their computer, smartphone or other device.

“We’re trying to be the library 24/7, 365 days a year,” said Michael Manon, chief branding officer of Hoopla Digital. “The six formats we offer are television, movies, music, ebooks, audio books and comic books. So, those six formats are available from your library with no waiting.”

CCPL card holders can download the app for Android and Apple devices. They can also access content through Hoopla’s website.

“You have immediate access to all those titles right away,” Manon said. “One thing that is different than a lot of the other consumer services is that we’ve built Hoopla to be able to download content. You can download a movie, and then hop on an airplane and fly across the country and be watching a movie from your local library at 30,000 feet.”

Hoopla Digital has partnered with the Carmel Clay Public Library to offer free access to digital content. (Screenshot)

Library card holders simply enter their card number to access content.

“You plug in your library card number one time and you’re ready to go,” Manon said.

Hoopla Digital likes to work in conjunction with the library rather than competing against it. They hope offering digital content helps increase the number of people coming in for a library card.

“We are seeing a lot of libraries telling us that after being live for three months with Hoopla, they are surprised at the new, younger age of people that is coming in to the library,” Manon said.

Public Safety Day set for Sept. 18

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

N EW H O UR S :

The 42nd annual Carmel Public Safety Day is set for Sept. 18 at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital.

The event is designed to allow event residents to learn about all the local agencies, businesses, organizations and services available relating to safety, health, and wellness.

Special demonstrations will take place throughout the day, including a Carmel Fire Department vehicle extrication, Carmel Police Department K-9 Unit, CPD SWAT rappelling and St.Vincent Carmel Hospital CPR. The vehicle extrication always attracts a large crowd, said Keith Freer, CFD deputy fire marshal.

“The Carmel Fire and Police Departments demonstrate a full response to a vehicle accident with injury and occupant entrapment,” Freer said. “The vehicle is cut away from the patient who is trapped and then loaded on to

During the rappelling presentation, three to four different techniques are demonstrated.

“They rappel off the end of the ladder on the CFD Tiller (Ladder) Truck,” Freer said. “The public just observes this skill, they do not perform it.”

Other activities include a kids’ big wheel race, a family water balloon toss and a car seat clinic. Information will also be available on water, bicycle and pedestrian safety.

The main message Freer said he hopes those attending take away: “The knowledge that there are services ready and available to meet their safety, health, and wellness needs,” he said.

Public Safety Day kicks off at 10 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. in the back parking lot of the hospital. Food will be served all day. Door prizes will be given out throughout the day.

Carmel ranked among state’s snobbiest; residents respond

Summer Cookouts at ManorCare – Summer Trace (Behind the Carmel Meijer)

By Kelsey Ligon • news@currentincarmel.com

Every Friday May through September 11am to 1pm $5 per person

It’s not unusual for Carmel to find itself at or near the top of many positive city rankings, but it recently placed second reaction to Zionsville for the title of “Snobbiest Places in Indiana.”

The rankings were compiled by Roadsnacks, a website that exists to “show you the real side of places that not everyone wants to hear.” Carmel earned the distinction because of its high home prices, high household incomes, a high percentage of residents with college degrees and a high number of private schools, theaters and art galleries.

Some of these same factors also helped Carmel place at No. 3 on the “Best Places to Live” in Indiana, according to Homesnacks, a related site.

Carmel resident responses to the article have ranged from satirical to critical.

One Carmel resident (hopefully) joked on Facebook that he crashed his Bentley while reading the article. Another drily proposed

closing down the art galleries, theaters and private schools in order to combat this negative image.

On the other end of the spectrum, some Carmel residents were affronted by the article’s claims.

Carmel resident Bill Baines said he did not see the humor of the article.

“There are those of us that are uniters, and those of us that are dividers,” Baines said.

“The author or authors of ‘snobbiest-places-inIndiana’ are dividers.”

Like many others, resident Mary Sutton described Carmel as a welcoming and accepting place. She added that the residents of Carmel were “probably not as grateful for [their] many gifts.”

As for coming in second place to Zionsville, resident reactions were also mixed. While some residents said that no such race for snobbiest/nicest city existed, others, such as Phyllis Lauter, joked that they were disappointed that Carmel placed second, given the above criteria.

Teacher shares passion in book

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com With his first novel, Bill Kenley blends his two passions of writing and running.

Kenley explained the process author of writing “High School Runner (Freshman)” at the Runners Forum in Carmel on Sept. 2. It’s the first of a series of four books, with the sophomore season planned for release by August.

“The first one came together pretty easy,” Kenley said. “I’ve written 200 pages but it’s rough. You tend to use the easy stories first.

Now I’m having to work harder at it. I want it be just as good. I’m proud of the first book and I want the second, third and fourth to be just as good.”

Kenley, 44, ran cross country as a student at Noblesville High School, where he has been a teacher for 19 years. Kenley, who teaches creative writing and English, is a volunteer assistant coach for the NHS cross country team.

“I love the sport, the friendships I made and the way it affected me,” said Kenley, who has run in the Boston Marathon three times and has completed a 50-mile race. “It was a good thing to do in high school. The book is a love letter to the sport.”

Kenley’s fictional character, Sherman Kindle,

has an identical twin brother on the team like Kenley did and the story is set in the 1980s.

But the similarities pretty much end there.

“They say write what you know, and I finally took that advice and it worked out for me,” Kenley said.

Kenley said the book has been well-received at the cross country summer camps he attended.

“It was a really good book, I love it,” said St. Simon School eighth grader Katie Darragh, who attended the Runners Forum event. “It was super funny and inspirational.”

Runners, organizers prepare for women-only half marathon

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

The Carmel Road Racing Group is making final preparations to host the Indy Women’s Half Marathon, the largest womenrace only race at that length in the state.

Runners from across the world will descend to Indianapolis on Sept. 19 for the annual race, which has grown by 40 percent since CRRG bought it from another race promoter last year.

“Everything was kind of already in place with the old race promoter, I just executed his plan,” said Todd Oliver, race director and CRRG president. “So 2015 was really our first year we could make it our own and put our own little spin on it.”

Women from around the world in all different walks of life will participate.

“We have people registered from 22 states and six countries,” Oliver said. “In our elite field we have the returning champion coming back.

She’s from Kenya. We have two Russians and two women from Mexico coming in to run.”

Todd said organizing a women-only event

is “substantially different” than managing a regular race, and that more women than men prefer to run in packs. He said that notable groups planning to run together include 100 women from Ely Lilly and 50 women traveling from Louisville.

“They’re celebrating one woman who is a cancer survivor and one who has a birthday, so they’re making it a girls weekend,” Oliver said.

The race will take place downtown beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Ohio St. For more information or to register for the half marathon or 5K, visit indywomenshalfmarathon.com.

Local products easier to find

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Marsh Supermarkets have partnered with the Indiana Grown initiative to make it easy for shoppers to find partnership and purchase products grown and made in the Hoosier state.

The partnership was officially announced Sept. 10, and Marsh is the first major grocer to feature Indiana Grown in its stores, including three in Carmel.

The Indiana State Department of Agriculture launched the Indiana Grown initiative in July to educate Hoosiers on products made locally and make it easier to buy them.

The partnership will launch 50 kiosks in Marsh stores across Indiana that sell 100 Indiana Grown products each. These products include honey, natural baking mixes, cereals, granola, salsa and more.

“Marsh is the first retail grocer to support Indiana Grown as a partner by promoting local foods through consumer advertisement and in-store kiosk displays. This means that not only does Marsh support Indiana Grown producers and products, they are also a partner in supporting the entire Indiana Grown initiative,” said David King, ISDA program manager

of local foods.

Other groups that have partnered with Indiana Grown include Smoking Goose, Maple Leaf Farms and the Purdue Extension Office.

“Our partnership with Marsh substantially shows the power and success Indiana Grown has had in creating opportunities for member products and making Indiana Grown products more visible to consumers,” King said. “Indiana Grown is becoming a top source of locally produced and/or grown products.”

The Carmel Clay Education Foundation has offered support to Carmel Clay Schools for the last 50 years, and education CCS is giving back with a newly renovated location for the foundation’s offices.

Although this was a sudden move, co-executive directors Stephanie McDonald and Barbara Danquist are excited about the possibilities the Danquist new location will bring.

CCS has provided the foundation with an office space and an opportunity to be involved directly with the schools, but the number of people within the old space was growing while the building wasn’t able to expand.

“They have asked us to move into a great space they are renovating, and we look forward to the move because then we will be more in the community,” Danquist said.

Because of their direct involvement with

CCS, Danquist and McDonald are able to show up in the schools, but their old location did not make it easy for the community to visit them.

“Our goal is to reach out into the community to find those who want to help us … and for us to have an opportunity for them to have a more direct way to see us,” Danquist said.

CCEF acts as a bridge between the schools and the community.

“The foundation is separate from CCS, but we support the school McDonald system,” Danquist said.

“We create ways of raising the funds and then create ways to distribute.”

The move is scheduled to happen on Sept. 15. The new location will be at 515 East Main St., directly across from Carmel High School.

“We are definitely thinking positive,” McDonald said. “With every change there are positives that occur no matter what that change may be.”

David Maxwell of The Olive Mill answered questions from Current about his unique job.

What is The Olive Mill? We sell olive oil, balsamic Business vinegar, herb spices and sea salt. We let customers come in and taste and sample the oils, vinegars and spices, so they can try before buying. They can taste that the oil is fresh and hasn’t been sitting around a year or so. And after tasting, they can ask questions about how it can be used and I give them ideas on pairings that work great.

How did you get started in this business? I was running an art gallery in Saugatuck, Mich., when the owners opened a store just down from my gallery. I was intrigued by the idea that you could buy and taste balsamic vinegar and olive oil, because I love to cook. They opened a store here and offered me the opportunity to work for them and I said ‘yes.’

How many different varieties do you have? We have 30 different varieties of oil and about the same in vinegars.

Where do you get your olive oils? Depending on the time of year, Greece, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Peru, Portugal and California. Spanish olives get pressed in the fall and Peru in the spring. You get one season for olives. Once you press the olives, it takes one month for the sediment to sink to the bottom of the container. The oils are just two months old when we get them. For European oils, that’s good. In a grocery store, you don’t know how long they’ve been in a warehouse before coming to the store and then how long they’re in the back of the store before they hit the shelf. At 12 months, olive oil starts to lose its flavor and is not as powerful; 18 months after opening, it turns rancid.

David Maxwell at The Olive Mill. (Photo by Lana Bandy)

Is it the same for balsamic vinegar? No, balsamics are an aged product. It has to have been aged 12 years to be a true balsamic product. Just like olive oil, it should be kept away from heat and direct sunlight. You don’t need to refrigerate them.

What do you like best about your job? I love informing people about balsamics and olive oil. Some people think they don’t like olive oil because they’ve had it only from grocery stores. When they taste it, they realize it is sweeter. They change, and you can see them enjoy it. It’s cool for me to see them change their minds and realize it is so much different. It’s also funny to see reactions, like ‘you want me to drink oil?’ It’s not motor oil; it’s juice of the olive. It’s good.

Do you or someone you know have an interesting job? Or is there an occupation you would like to know a little more about? Send your story ideas to lcbandym@yahoo.com and we might feature you in an upcoming issue of Current in Carmel.

An autistic man saved my faith Commentary by Mike Colaw

I think everyone who is naturally a critical thinker comes to a place where it’s easy to be cynical. Critical thinkers are religion always looking for truth. Cynics take that desire and turn deeply pessimistic. They find themselves turning more and more from the pursuit of knowledge to parsing people’s words in endless debates. At some point the motive changes.

It’s no longer about a deeper understanding or love of knowledge; it’s about proving others wrong.

How do I know this? I was on my way to becoming one, especially about religion.

I really struggled with a few things, many of which others struggle with. Age of the earth.

The problem of evil. As an overthinking high school student I had a laundry list of issues with modern religion that had been presented to me. My pursuit of knowledge was quickly turning into cynicism. I started slowing in my pursuit of answers and just started dropping doubt bombs everywhere I went, most notably

on the age of the earth. This was my “Achilles heel” with religion.

Then I stumbled across a man named Dr. Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist and well-known author out of Toronto who happens to be on the autism spectrum. He had very interesting responses to some of my hardest questions.

Here is what amazed me most though. No matter how often people pushed back against his work, he didn’t bat an eye. I am exaggerating a bit, but sometimes it almost seemed like he didn’t know there were cynics out there.

Yes, once in an awhile he would grab an idea or respond to a thought, but only if it truly advanced his pursuit of knowledge. His ability to hyper focus in his work was extraordinary.

In the Studio with Lesley Haflich

By Carolyn Martens news@currentincarmel.com

A well-known regional artist, Lesley Haflich displays her vibrant and energetic oil paintings at the new CCA Gallery in the art Carmel Arts District.

Why oil painting?

“I love its luscious colors, textures and luminescence! It’s a very diverse medium to work in. You can thin it down into a transparent wash or use a palette knife to spread it on thickly like icing on a cake. Over the years, I’ve experimented with portraits, landscapes, still lifes, street scenes and nostalgic themes.

I’ve gone from impressionistic to art nouveau to even a little bit abstract. Painting helps me connect to nature and people. My goal is to create fresh, colorful and positive paintings that are not only ‘my interpretation’ of the world, but that will also ‘speak’ to the viewer.”

For how long?

My doctor said if I was not working out and staying as physically active as I am, I would be way worse than I am now.”

Some are surprised, telling Franciosi she looks healthy.

“But in reality, one week out of the month I’m not,” said Franciosi, who takes strong medications and occasionally needs IV treatments.

Yet Franciosi is not one for self-pity.

“You can sit home and cry over it or you can try to move on and deal with it,” said Franciosi, who tries to educate others on her diseases.

Franciosi does research and makes sure to

Her clients need her, too. Ali Gibson has been training with Franciosi for eight years and has lost 90 pounds in that time.

When first suggested she call Franciosi, Gibson said her first thought was “oh great, another skinny little trainer that is going to make me eat lettuce and run five miles a day.

No thanks.”

So she took awhile to call until a shopping for a swim suit motivated her it was time.

“She was the kindest, most welcoming person ever and I fell in love with her from the minute I met her,” Gibson said. “She makes you feel comfortable from day one.”

Inspiring Health obituaries Nicholas L. Wolfe, 20 of Carmel, died Sept. 3. He was born July 17, 1995, in Indianapolis. He was a 2014 graduate of Carmel High School, where he was an honor student and played on the football team. Nicholas had a passion for helping others, evidenced by his involvement in the Carmel High School and Indiana University Dance Marathons that raised money for Riley Hospital for Children.

Nicholas’ last act of generosity is that he will be an organ donor. Nicholas was planning to be a doctor and was a member of Phi Delta Epsilon, a pre-med fraternity at Indiana University, where he was a sophomore as well as a Hutton Honors Scholar. Nicholas was a member of St. Elizabeth Wolfe Ann Seton Catholic Church in Carmel. He was an avid IU and Colts fan. He aspired to be a team physician for an NFL football team. Nicholas loved his dog, Harley. Nicholas is survived by his parents, Dennis and Jackie Wolfe; sister, Samantha Wolfe; brother, Matthew Wolfe; grandmothers, Anita Small and Betty Wolfe; aunt, Dani Snyder; uncles, Kevin Small, Mike Wolfe and Kevin Wolfe; and their families. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, John R. Small and Jerry L. Wolfe and his aunt, Marda Harris. Memorial contributions may be made to the Carmel Education Foundation.

Philomena (Tubridy) Squier, 82, of Carmel died Aug. 30 surrounded by her children. Ever conscious of the current weather conditions and their effect on her family’s travel plans, she would have been happy to know that the skies and roads were clear that day and everyone made it home safely. Phil was born in 1933 on the west coast of Ireland and moved to the U.S. in 1956. Her diversity of roles included highly successful model, governess, flight attendant, journalist, painter, real estate agent, published author, community activist and adored mother and grandmother.

She made a mean brownie, never met a Jane Austen film she didn’t love, was a stickler for thank you notes, and was seldom found without a large mug of strong, Irish tea nearby. Phil is survived by her sister, Niamh Noonan, her three children, Moira Squier, Robert Squier, Jr., and Sean Squier, and her four granddaughters, Rachael Squier, Rebecca Squier, Colleen Squier and Fianna Roberts-Squier. A celebration of her life was held at her son’s house in Zionsville. Cut flowers always depressed Phil because they are gone too soon. So, please – in lieu of flowers – plant something permanent or make a donation to St. Jude’s Hospital, one of her favorite charities.

Celebration of Bands Sept. 18-19

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Celebration of Bands will provide spectators with a wide variety of music and instruments highlighting different eras for the first time this year in Carmel.

Charles Conrad, who organized the bands, said there will be a whole spectrum of musical styles.

“We’ll have some classical music and definitely have some Broadway and Hollywood music, some British brass band and a Civil War band,” said Conrad, the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor.

All the concerts on Sept. 18 and 19 are free. The Sept. 18 performances will be held in Arts & Design District while the Sept.

19 performances will start outside the Palladium at 2 p.m. and move inside the Palladium for Grand Finale Concert at 7:30 p.m.

“We hope to fill up the Palladium (1,601 seats),” Conrad said.

One of the unique performers will be the Eiger Alphorn Duo. The duo will perform with their 12-foot long wooden horns outside the Palladium at 3:45 p.m. and at 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 19.

The alphorn is known mostly in the Switzerland and the Alpine regions of Europe. The duo performs on authentic instruments, complete with Tachten (authentic Swiss and German costumes). Peggy DeMers and Vicki Wheeler, the duo, will join the

Indiana Wind Symphony to perform “Concertino for Alphorns and Wind Symphony” by Gottfried Veit.

Joining the Indiana Wind Symphony will be guest trumpet soloist Patrick Hession at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18. Hession also will perform a solo with the Middle School Honors Band at 5 p.m. on Sept. 19 and will be involved in the Grand Finale Concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. inside the Palladium.

“He’s a phenomenal trumpet player. He was Maynard Ferguson’s last lead player,” Conrad said.

Saxton’s Cornet Band, one of the top Civil War bands in the country, will play at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 and then again during the Grand Finale.

“They play authentic pieces you would have heard in the Civil War days,” Conrad said. “They were the very first ones I thought of because I wanted to make sure we had a Civil War band. They were absolutely my first choice.”

The Middle School Honor Band will be paired with the Indianapolis New Horizons Band.

“Most of the New Horizons band are seniors and most played instruments in high school,” Conrad said. “Once they retired they decided to form a band.”

The Middle School Honors Band is made up of Carmel’s three middle schools and Hamilton Southeastern’s four middle schools.

Hopkins and Miller’s Sunset Jazz Band will have the opening performance at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. Next up is Indy Winds Flute Choir, who will use a contrabass flute.

“I’ve never even seen one, let alone heard one in a concertbased setting,” Conrad said.

The Starry Knights Big Band will perform as the Swinging Sergeants in the first day’s final act at 8:30 p.m., performing World War II-era Big Band music.

Civil War recreation band on showcase at ‘Celebration’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Like any other starving college kid, David Goins was just looking for a gig.

So the University of Kentucky student took one with the Saxton’s Cornet Band in 1992.

“I fell in love with it,” said Goins, who has been a regular ever since.

The Saxton’s Cornet Band, based in central Kentucky, travels everywhere to perform Civil War-era music in actual instruments from Goins the era.

“We’re trying to promote this era of music,” said Goins, who serves in the role of a general manager for the band. “We’re trying to prevent it from being lost.”

Saxton’s Cornet Band is a modern recreation of a Civil War brass band that was started in the late 1850s in Lexington, Ky. Henry Saxton had a group of musicians through 1910. Goins, 43, said the modern band formed in 1989.

“We played every type of historical event and music festival,” said Goins. whose group played several years at Conner Prairie. “We’ve played a presidential inauguration (George W. Bush in 2000), played overseas and been in a

few movies. We’re one of a handful of people who can play the music and play them on original 1860s instruments.”

Saxton’s Cornet Band will perform at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 during the Celebration of Bands outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then will perform with the Indiana Wind Symphony inside the Palladium that evening during the Grand Finale concert. Goins serves as the solo E flat cornet performer.

Goins, the musical director for First United Methodist Church in Frankfort, Ky., said they

play the music from the Library of Congress site so the music is exactly what you would have heard during the Civil War. “With the exception of the drums, all the instruments are 150 years old,” Goins said.

Goins said the sound is a lot softer than what a brass band sounds like today.

“We’ve come a long way with technology and we’ve made them where they are much more brilliant and they’re a lot louder,” Goins said.

Goins said the group has about 20 mem-

bers with a different group attending each time. About 12 to 14 are expected to play at the Carmel concerts.

The band brings a narrator for its show.

One of the highlights will be a world premiere of piece written by composer James Curnow. The Indiana Wind Symphony will join the Saxton’s Cornet Band in the performance.

Goins said it’s an 11-minute work that uses narration from diary entries from the Civil War. The piece is called “With Malice Towards None,” which is a quote from Abraham Lincoln’s second presidential inaugural address.

“We’re excited. It’s going to be cool,” Goins said. “We’ve been working on it for four years.

We’re trying to see what an authentic Civil War band sounds like within the texture of modern wind band. It’s going to sound like a movie score. We’re stepping outside our mission which is just playing music from the fouryear period to hopefully educate people and bridge the time gap.”

They use saxhorns developed by Adolph Sax, who later invented the saxophone.

“They were all the rage in the 19th century,” Goins said. “There is soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass and we have two drummers. So all the instruments are voiced just like a choir.”

Brainard: Celebration of Bands gives local economy boost

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a former high school French horn player and son of a band director, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard is an enthusiastic supporter of music.

So, naturally, he didn’t have to be sold on putting the city’s support behind Celebrations of Bands in Carmel on Sept. 18 and 19.

“Part of our economic development strategy with the Palladium was to bring groups to Carmel for children and youth contests, much like the International Violin competition in InBrainard dianapolis,” Brainard said. “Every instrument in an orchestra or band has a national contest, so where else but in center of the country with a beautiful concert hall, safe, clear area with good air connections. This is part of the strategy. We would like to see many more groups and organizations see the Palladium and our neat downtown as their home base.”

The Sept. 18 performances will be in the downtown Arts & Design District. The Sept. 19 performances will held outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then the Grand Finale will be inside the Palladium.

“Plenty of people will be spending money in our hotels and at our restaurants, other businesses,” said Brainard, who plans to attend both days of concerts. “It’s good economic development for Carmel plus it provides a great event for people here to enjoy. Hopefully, it has a major impact with large groups coming. It really helps our small business people out.”

Brainard said it will be good for Carmel students to see the best in the country.

“They can compare how they are doing vis-a-vis the best performers their age,” he said.

Charles Conrad, who is coordinating the two-day event, said it was Brainard’s idea to put together a Middle School Honor Band because he wanted to get the students and schools involved.

Brainard, a 1972 Elkhart (Ind.) High School (now Elkhart Central) graduate, loves the idea of music being a full-time passion.

He said his father, Jack Brainard, who died in 2013 at age 85, directed New Horizon Seniors Band in his retirement.

“He would have people in their 70s start an instrument for the first time,” Brainard said. “Music is something you can do your entire life. You can build friendships. It’s a great thing for people to do.”

The Edelweiss Alphorn Duo will perform on Saturday, Sept.

19. (Submitted photo)

Jack directed the Bristol High School band before it consolidated with Elkhart Schools. Jack then directed bands at two middle schools in the Elkhart school system.

Brainard recalled meeting Conrad, a 1972 Indianapolis Arlington High School graduate, at band camp when they were 10 or 11 years old. Conrad is the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor. “(Celebration of Bands) was mostly my brainchild but I would say Jim Brainard had a lot to do with it,” Conrad said. “He’s obviously very committed to the arts. Particularly one of the facets of it we’re going to talk about music being a life-long pursuit whether you do it as a profession, whether you do it as hobby or whatever. We want to show extracurricular actives don’t have to be something that ends when you leave high school. At 77, you’re not going to play tackle football but you can play the saxophone. One of my all-time trumpet idols, Doc Severinsen just turned 88, and he’s still soloing with major symphonies around the country.”

Middle School Honor Band to be in the spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Celebration of Bands will have a unique aspect of a band put together solely for the five-song performance.

The Middle School Honor Band is made up of about 60 top members from Carmel’s three middle schools and Hamilton Southeastern’s four middle schools. Wendy Higdon, director of bands for Carmel’s Creekside Middle School and Middle School Honors Band committee chairman, said it’s close to being evenly divided among the seven schools.

The Indianapolis New Horizons Band, made up of older band members, and the Middle School Honor Band will share the one-hour spot starting at 5 p.m. outside The Center for the Performing Arts.

TherAplay uses hippotherapy to help children with special needs

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jenna Todd has watched her son’s development flourish through horsepower.

Her 3-year-old son, Maxwell, is a patient at Children’s TherAplay Foundation, a nonprofit outpatient cover story rehabilitation clinic for kids with special needs. TherAplay incorporates the movement of horses through hippotherapy into the physical and occupational therapies. It serves as a means of improving coordination and strength.

Maxwell, who has three genetic disorders, started at TherAplay when he was 18 months old.

“When he first got here all he could do was roll around, that’s how he got from place to place,” Todd said. “He had very

A professional line-dancing instructor will provide direction and there will be a mechanical bull-riding competition.

The event will also include a live and silent auction. A 40foot long saloon will feature area craft beers and other alcoholic beverages.

Tickets for the adult event (21 and older) are $100 through Sept. 19 and $125 after. For more information, visit childrenstheraplay.org/2015-hoe-down.

low muscle tone, which affected his coordination. After starting here, he began to tolerate being on his hands and knees.

He began crawling. Now he walks without his walker. He walks all over the place. He started preschool last week.

“We saw a pretty much immediate difference after starting therapy with the horses. His core strength improved, which led to his coordination and strength. He was able to pull himself up to stand.”

TherAplay provides treatment for many children who have cerebral palsy or autism.

Todd said the gait pattern of the horse is most similar to the human gait pattern.

“Positioning him different ways on the horse can help elicit different functions,” Todd said.

TherAplay has 11 therapy horses for children age 18 months to 13 years or up to 100 pounds, TherAplay executive director Hillary McCarley said.

“All the horses have a calm temperament,” said McCarley, who became the executive director in January. “They have to be continually worked. It’s a therapy that the kiddos love to come to.”

McCarley knows firsthand. Her son, Michael, was a patient for six years, starting at two-and-a-half years old. He has cerebral palsy, epilepsy and low vision.

“When he came in, he could not walk or talk,” McCarley said.

“He army crawled. He had no body awareness. Fast forward six years later, he’s sitting up on the horse. At the (TherAplay) graduation, he took 35 steps on his own.”

Michael, 17, walks with crutches but remains active at Carmel High School.

“Before he came here, Rocky was barrel racer (in rodeos),” said Shannon Wade, TherAplay’s marketing programs manger. “He’s been such a treasure. Rocky has appointed himself equine ambassador. Rocky is just so gentle with the children.”

Rocky is TherAplay’s biggest horse, so he carries the bigger children. TherAplay officials estimate he has participated in about 4,800 physical and occupational therapy treatments. come a long way.”

When the executive director’s job opened at TherAplay, McCarley knew it was a perfect fit. She was previously the major gifts officer at Methodist Health Foundation.

McCarley said TherAplay, which begins its 15th year in November, serves 160 families a year. For the Todds, Maxwell will be at TherAplay as long as he meets the requirements.

“TherAplay will be a part of our life for a long time,” said Todd, whose family lives in Fishers. “He doesn’t see it as therapy. He looks at it as time to see his therapist and play with the horses.”

Ryan Todd, Maxwell’s father, knows how much the horses mean to his son.

“I took him to the store to get a birthday present, and he wants nothing to do with superhero toys like most kids,” Ryan said. “I take him to the toy store and he wants play horses.

They’re his best friends.”

Best friends Emily Danville and Stacy Rapp, both residents of Fishers, had fun belting out tunes from the ’80s, dancing and painting.

"Where’s Amy?” … Painting with a Purpose benefiting the Carmel Relay for Life. I love going to so many amazing events, but this particular one was extra special because I was able to attend with my mom, who is a breast cancer survivor. The event started off with a glass of wine in one hand and a paint brush in the other. Next we met a group of spunky women who were all ready to throw paint on blank canvas to create a unique piece of art.

Carmel instructor Miranda Thomas's energy and occasional dance moves made all of the participants feel as if their paintings would soon grace the walls of Carmel’s own Hoosier Salon. In the end, we all had a blast, left feeling like artists and felt good knowing we raised money for Carmel's Relay for Life. Don’t worry, “Where’s Amy?” … is not trading in her camera for canvas just yet but, it’s safe to say, I will definitely be back for more exciting painting adventures at the fabulous “Painting with a Twist” studio in Carmel.

Golden memories

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Just how short is her memory?

“If it’s all the same to you, Mr. Trump, I would rather you stop cherishing women and start respecting women.” - Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at a campaign event in Portsmouth, N.H. We haven’t stopped laughing at that one. This is from the same person that worked with her husband in an attempt to destroy Monica Lewinsky back in the 1990s. In an Christopher Hitchens, wherein he wrote about a lunch he had with Clinton aide, Sidney Blumenthal, we learned exactly how much “respect” the Clintons have for women. During that lunch, Blumenthal discussed how the White House was going to destroy Lewinsky’s life by labeling her a “stalker” and “blackmailer.” This is the typical Clinton M.O.: Trash your accusers. We only bring this up because this is just one example how the Clintons “respect” women. Oh, not to worry about Blumenthal; he’s still an active adviser to a candidate for president.

You guessed it: Hillary Clinton.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Positively honest

Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from that which is the longest lived. Sixteenth century Priest, St. Vincent de Paul, described the nature of the stories we tell thusly: Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying. His fairly stark and binary contrast brings forward an interesting supposition. As we are increasingly identified by our persona online, how do we remain humble and still meet the expectations of the world-wide-web?

Webinars, meetings and colloquia dedicated to putting our best electronic foot forward have become ubiquitous in our inboxes. We are told that social media is an imperative to success in business – and perhaps in life.

Moreover, we must carefully curate our web presence to honestly portray ourselves – but do it in a way likely to put us in the MOST positive light. Some of us clearly take the messaging to an extreme. Photos slide from optimistic to intentionally deceitful. But, who determines what’s gone too far?

As communities are redefined, our traditional methods of vetting affiliates are

proving inadequate. Where we formerly relied upon personal recommendations, we now turn to unknown and often unidentified web-writers to direct our decisionmaking. A lifetime of civic involvement and network building can be supplanted by an effective and well-designed web presence.

Surely, it begins to equalize access. Yet, it also brings considerable peril.

People can completely manufacture themselves on the web. Likewise, we can anonymously destroy the lives of those with whom we have some real or imagined beef. Do humility, truth, pride, and dishonesty assume completely different meanings in a digital age; or, do they carry the same standards applied in a much broader way?

How do we manage to honestly advance our message above the noise of a medium which delivers lies and truth with equal speed and abundance?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.

Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

– Winston Churchill

I’m going to my 50th high school reunion in New Rochelle, New York, just north of Manhattan—and the setting for humor the residence of Rob and Laura Petrie of the Dick Van Dyke Show.

With a little time to spare, I hope to: …see my first New York baseball game in, yes, 50 years. The Mets’ home, Shea Stadium, was torn down in 2008 and replaced by Citi Field. Entering a major league park for the first time is always a thrill—just like the 100th time. …return to Roosevelt School where I spent six years being reprimanded by teachers for my reprobate behavior. I’d like to sit in the principal’s office again, just as I did most days after school, except I’d probably be in someone’s bedroom. Roosevelt School was renovated into Roosevelt Condominiums about 20 years ago. …go back to Walter’s Hot Dogs, a familyowned business that has been grilling franks for almost 100 years. I’ll buy two hot dogs and tell the girl behind the register that I remember when the dogs were two for 45 cents. She’ll say “whatever,” and I’ll walk away feeling very, very old … until I take that first bite. …visit the pricey country club where I worked. And where I got my first hole-in-one in 1965. I’ll tell the golf pro the story and ask if I can play that hole again. He’ll remind me that I’m not a member, and I’ll say “whatever” and wish I had never stopped by. …see the former site of the small baseball diamond where we played Little League—in woolen uniforms. We were told not to drink water when we were hot because it would make us sick. The New York Daily News said I was the best Little League center fielder in the state. When I got to high school, I didn’t make the team.

I hope no one remembers that at the reunion. ( To see more of Dick›s reunion plans, go to www.currentincarmel.com)

Opposition not discrimination Editor, Ms. Wolfgang’s letter seriously misrepresents the views expressed by the opponents of the mayor’s proposed ordinance. A variety of reasons for opposition were given including it being unnecessary and infringing on first amendment rights.

It is totally inaccurate to insinuate that persons opposed to this ordinance are for discrimination. On the contrary, many mentioned

that all persons in our diverse community should be treated with dignity and respect.

However, treating others with civility does not require affirmation of their beliefs. This ordinance is an attempt to force the politically correct beliefs of some on all in our community, to the detriment of our constitutional rights.

CRC should look local Editor, According to your article, the CRC has hired the same architect that designed the backward looking (in time) Palladium which is nothing more than a pathetic, botched attempt to recreate antiquity!! Now to add insult to injury, Mr. Schwartz has been engaged to further confuse the context of an already contextually confusing mass of buildings. Apparently CRC has forgotten that there are sev-

eral highly qualified LOCAL architectural firms capable of “marrying the aesthetics from the nearby structures and come up with viable design ideas.”

All that being said, I have one question: Did the CRC interview any local architectural firms??

City needs to address Monon crossing at Main Street Commentary by Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com I think it’s time I write about an issue that has been slowing down our community in Carmel. streets I’m referring to the Monon Trail crossing at Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

I’m partially joking about this being a serious issue. In the grand scheme of things, there are much more pressing problems to address but it’s been a pet peeve of mine for some time.

Here’s the problem. There’s a stop sign for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides of the Monon Trail, which means that they need to stop before crossing. There is no stop sign for motorists along Main Street. This means that cars don’t have to stop.

Yet the long held belief that pedestrians have the right of way has caused confusion.

Young kids speed on bikes across a busy Main Street without looking twice. Motorists

insist on stopping and waving me past even when I properly stop when walking my dog.

It’s chaos.

I understand that motorists are trying to be nice when they brake for me at the trail, but as a cyclist I prefer they don’t. It’s easier for me to time my speed and stops when I know it’s coming.

I’ve joked with Carmel City Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider that we need to rotate the statue there of a police officer so it’s telling the pedestrians to stop. I’ve actually seen a cyclist point to that statue as if it was a stop sign when he tried to shame a motorist for not stopping.

The bottom line is this: I just want everyone to follow one system. I don’t care if pedestrians/cyclists always stop or that motorists always stop, but let’s just do it one way and stick to it. It slows everything down when nobody knows what to do and it’s possible that confusion could lead to a child being hit by a car if neither chooses to stop.

A true catastrophe Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Proudly Presents

You may recall that last week I was all chuckles after coming home and discovering that my husband Doo had humor been the first responder on a rather messy plumbing issue.

And you may have also guessed (and been correct) that I was exaggerating a hair when I declared said issue a “catastrophe.” Well, I’m not laughing now, nor is the word catastrophe sufficient to describe what actually transpired.

It seems our beloved dogwood tree found a crack in the main sewage pipe and decided to extend her roots into all of its glorious, nutrient-rich cargo. This woody tangle along with paper products, red hair balls, and various other not-easily-degradable “items” eventually created a gloopy enough blockage to impress even the most seasoned heart surgeon. One flush of the main floor toilet was all it took to bring most of the contents back up, out onto our hardwood and carpeted floors, down the air vents and through the ceiling of our finished basement.

Neither of us initially thought the damage was bad. In fact, we allowed our son to sleep two nights in his room despite the still-damp carpet and slightly-off odor. [Parents of the

year!] But once the remediation people came through, we learned we were being exposed to nothing short of nuclear radiation. “This is DEFCON One people! We need blowers, heaters, suction, and drains. Let’s move, let’s MOVE!” We’re looking at thousands of dollars in restoration, including new flooring and drywall, landscaping, and of course, an updated sewer line. I can’t step foot in the house right now without threading my way through rubberized venting mats, sinuous air hoses and obnoxiously loud industrial dryers. And despite having the AC set at 71, the constantly running motors keeps the air temperature over 85, leaving us all grumpy and a tad bit sleep-deprived.

The good news? We have insurance, no one got hurt (or sick), and most importantly, it wasn’t my fault. [I’ve been known to leave the sink on for our cat and may have once caused a small flood.] The bad news? I’m not laughing anymore.

Peace out.

Murder and hilarity ensue at the Belfry in ‘The Butler Did It’

By Navar Watson • new@currentincarmel.com

It’s your typical dark and stormy night. On a remote island off San Francisco Bay, wealthy socialite Miss Maple invites a theater group of detective writers to a lavish party at Ravenswood Manor, insisting that each come portraying their famed detective characters for the funfilled weekend.

All goes well until suddenly a guest turns up dead and the detective writers try to act like, well, actual detectives.

Tim Kelly’s “The Butler Did It” promises a “mixture of edge-of-the-seat [tension] and gut-wrenching laughs,” according to director Jeff Bick. The play runs eight times at the Belfry Theatre Sept. 18 – Oct. 4.

“It’s one of those great plays where you have the big reveal at the end, but there are so many other things that surprise you throughout,” said Kelly BeDell, who plays the maid. “It just wets your appetite. … It keeps you on your toes.”

Bick said every character in the show is a caricature or tribute to a famous mystery character in mainstream media. Any murder mystery fan might recognize different personalities and plot points.

Among the fictional detectives are a Sherlock Holmes-type; a priest based off Father Dowling; a “famous oriental detective;” Rick and Laura Carlyle, based of Nick and Nora Charles; a hard-bitten gumshoe; and a female James Bond.

The audience soon finds out, however, that the writers pale in comparison to the wits of their famed creations.

“Their creations are much better detectives than they are, and that is an understatement,” Bick said. “They’re nowhere near as smart as they think they are. … That’s where the com-

the butler did it Where: 10690 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville When: Sept. 18 – Oct. 4, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays (Sept. 27 and Oct. 4) at 2 p.m.

Cast: Jean Adams as Miss Maple, Barb Weaver as Rita Eyelesbarrow, Kelly BeDell as Haversham, Tim Long as Father White, Greg Dunn as Chandler Marlowe, Eddie Booher as Louie Fan, Zach Buzan and Brenna Campbell as Rick and Laura Carlyle, Ryan Shelton as Peter Flimsey and Valerie Pearce as Charity Haze Cost: $15 for adults and $12 for children 12 and younger; special dinner/show combo tickets for $50 per person, including three-course meal at Matteo’s.

edy is.”

Though often played as a farce, the Belfry’s version of “The Butler Did It” will have a more realistic tone, intertwined with comedic elements. It’s a challenge, Bick said, to not let the actors cross over into farce.

The challenge for the actors is playing characters with so many layers, actor Brenna Campbell said.

“Everybody has a secret, and that’s something you find out within the first, maybe, 10 minutes of the play,” Campbell said. “[As an actor] you have to walk the balance with what you know as a character with what you don’t

want to give away.”

“The Butler Did It” is a family-friendly show, Bick said.

The Belfry is offering a special ticket on Saturdays that includes a three-course dinner and the show. Guests start their night at Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano in Noblesville and end it at the Belfry. Details are on the Belfry’s website.

Bick hopes this show will help audiences see the quality of community theatre.

“I’ve got a really, really good cast of actors and actresses, and they’re bringing a lot to the characters,” Bick said. “My goal is to let people see what kind of theatre we can do here.”

Arts District hopes to build outdoor painting event

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

For the second year, visitors to the Carmel Arts & Design District will be able to walk along Main Street to see dozens of art artists painting outdoors. It’s called Carmel on Canvas and organizers expect to see double the number of participants since the prize money has been increased significantly.

The event is Sept. 18-20 inside the archways of the Arts District.

In its augural year in 2014, there were about 50 artists painting and prize money totaled $4,000. Cathy Bauder, arts advisor for the city, said they hope to attract around 100 artists since the prize money has been increased to about $10,000 in total.

The top artist prize is $5,000 with prizes of $3,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place. There will also be business-sponsored awards. Sponsors submit requests for a subject of the painting, such as the outside of their business or home that’s located in the Arts District, and send a check to the City of Carmel for the amount they’d pay for that painting.

Interested artists can register on Sept. 18 and Sept. 19 from 7:30 to 10 a.m. each day at Inspire Gallery at 111 W. Main St. Registration cost is $50 for professionals and $25 for nonprofessionals with a discount for preregistration at carmelartsanddesign.com/FEATURES/ carmel_on_canvas. There are no refunds due to weather.

Anjali Rooney has experienced a great deal in her 11 years, and now she’s adding a new experience to her reperformance sumé: performing on stage in a main stage production at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Anjali and her family have lived in San Francisco, New York City, and now in Carmel. Most of her family resides outside of the United States as her mother, Jini, is from South Africa and her father, Terence, is from Ireland.

It’s a combination that has resulted in a talented Clay Middle School sixth-grader who has made quite an impression already in Indiana, where she has lived for just over a year.

Stoneycreek preps for festival

By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com A Noblesville tradition for more than four decades, the annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival will return for its 43rd year family fun at Stoneycreek Farm from Sept. 26 through October.

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the only admission fee into the Harvest Festival is a $5 charge for parking Tuesdays through Sundays.

There is no parking fee on Mondays.

A collection of fall activities await families attending the Pumpkin Harvest Festival, with a staple of the season still the event’s most popular choice.

“Hayrides out into the pumpkin fields for people to pick their own pumpkins is still our most popular thing,” Stoneycreek Farm owner Loren Schmierer said.

“We have a new rope maze this year, which we didn’t have before,” Schmierer added. “And we’re going to continue to have the big cave slide, climbing wall and zip line.”

The event’s 400-foot zip line is back as one of the main attractions. Open to anyone 10 and older weighing between 90 and 250 pounds for $15, the ride gives zippers an aerial

view of Stoneycreek as they descend after climbing a 50-foot suspension bridge to a 30-feet-high tower in the Christmas tree field.

“It’s really unique,” Schmierer said. “You climb up onto a tower and across a swinging bridge to a tower where you zip line about 400 feet across the parking lot and pond to another tower. Then you get down by taking a circular slide down. It’s kind of unique and you get a view of the pumpkin fields, wagons and all the crowds from up there.”

Stoneycreek Farm is at 11366 State Road 38 East, Noblesville.

Area artists in Hoosier Salon show

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County and Zionsville artists are well represented in the 91st annual Hoosier Salon 91st exhibition at the Eugene art and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Indianapolis.

“It’s the longest running show of its kind in the state,” said Jim May, Hoosier Salon executive director.

“It’s the creme de la creme of the people who got in per the judge’s requirements,” said Richard Anderson, manager of Carmel’s Hoosier Salon gallery. “There are approximately 150 pieces with sculptures and everything else. Everything in the show is for sale.”

Following the show, Anderson said the majority of the pieces will be featured in the gallery, 22 N. Range Line Rd. “We’ll pick what we think are the strongest ones from the show for our consignment gallery in Carmel,” May said.

Dance Discovery series set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As The Center for the Performing Arts community engagement manager, Julia ShildmyerHeighway was seekperformances ing a way to connect the public with the Palladium’s concert lineup.

She came up with the Dance Discovery Series.

“A lot of people don’t think they can dance, but my opinion is everybody can dance,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “If you have a short session like this you’ll have more familiarity with it and when you come see the performance you’ll be better connected to it.”

The series starts with Flamenco instruction on Sept. 30, followed by Compania Flamenca Jose Porcel’s show on Oct. 9 “You don’t have to come to the performance to take the class but of course it’s encouraged,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “When we got the season (schedule), we looked for which shows would lend themselves to doing a lesson. We started researching to find the instructors that would work well with each.”

The cost is $18 per participant. If a participant signs up for the series of six, one session is free.

Award winning ballet dancer, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, will share the stories of Giselle and Cinderella in the Jan. 6 Ballet session.

(Submitted photo)

“Each one is a little different but most of the classes are capped at 20 to 25 students,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “We are getting interest from all different ages.”

The instructional sessions, which begin at 6:30 p.m., are held in various locations around The Center for the Performing Arts.

The other sessions are: Bollywood on Oct. 21, followed by Bollywood Masala Orchestra Nov. 1; Country Line Dancing Nov. 11, followed by Ronnie Milsap Farewell Tour Nov. 20; Ballet Mime with Alyona Yakovleva-Randall Jan. 6, followed

What do tailgaters want in a dessert?

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Whether it’s you brain center telling you that you have to have something sweet, or you are still hungry, almost every tailgater in the lot wants a dessert after a sandwich and side dish.

If it were just the need for a sweet, we’d probably see a lot more candy bars at tailgate parties.

Tailgate chefs seem to pride themselves in their desserts as much as they do their main course foods. Just look around and you’ll see cakes, cookies, pastries and even slices of pie.

There is a physical problem, however, with most desserts at a tailgate party – they have to be easy to eat. They shouldn’t require a plate, forks or spoon. They shouldn’t make one’s hands so sticky that he or she is forced to look for a basin in which to wash. And still importantly – tailgate desserts have to taste good! So, if you want a dessert that is easy to eat, and something creative and delicious, you should serve bars.

Here’s a great bar recipe for Marmalade Brownies by Marie Simmons, a former columnist for “Bon Appetite� and author of “Bar Cookies A to Z.� Marie and I exchanged ideas

6:30–9:30 p.m.

and books when “The Tailgater’s Handbook� first came out. These dense dark bars will thrill your tailgaters.

Ingredients: 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 2 large eggs beaten, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, Pinch of salt Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a nine-inch square, baking pan.

Melt butter and chocolate in a nonaluminum saucepan. Remove pan from the heat. Add the brown sugar and marmalade and beat with a wooden spoon until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir. Now add the flour, walnuts and salt; stir to blend. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges began to pull away from the pan.

Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook� is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.� His web site is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Blueprint for Improvement: Retractable screens on porch Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions:

Before problems:

The goal was to achieve a functional, relaxing outdoor space for a busy family who loves to be outside.

1. A larger deck footprint was designed for a more functional space.

2. Roof line locations were carefully considered to allow unobstructed views, while blocking harsh sunlight.

3. Retractable screens were installed to provide a golf ball and insect barrier.

4. Maintenance-free Trex decking materials finished off the floor.

5. Amenities such as a television, high ceiling fan, and recessed lighting completed the inviting space.

The original decking forced the residents to provide constant maintenance. With no roof, the space was always exposed to harsh sunlight, insects, and the occasional stray golf ball. The biggest challenge was to keep the roof height high enough to not obstruct golf course views, and to not interfere with the great room windows.

On July 9, 2013, I wrote this about an ancient temple to Ba’al in Palmyra, Syria, which I visited in November 2010: “When travel the fighting is over and a trip to Syria becomes possible once more, Palmyra provides a wonderful opportunity to see what the Jewish Second Temple probably looked like before its destruction …”

Sadly, my prediction has been proven false.

ISIS, which captured Palmyra in May 2015, has obliterated Palmyra’s extraordinary temple.

For persons living in Syria in the early first century, the most important god was Ba’al (or Bel), who was related to the god whose worship by the Israelites so vexed the Hebrew prophets. Palmyra’s temple to Ba’al was dedicated in 32 A.D., about the same time that Jesus was at the Temple in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The two temple complexes were very similar. Each had a Roman-style courtyard surrounded by thick colonnaded walls with impressive gates. Each included a tall building near the rear of the courtyard housing a holy of holies that only priests could

enter. Each had an altar of undressed stones for sacrificing animals. It is likely that the architects of the Palmyra temple either intentionally drew upon the design of the Jewish Temple or both drew upon a common source.

Meticulous reconstruction of Palmyra’s temple that began in 1929 presented a now-lost opportunity to envision the design of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Unfortunately, the destruction of the Palmyra temple is not the first time intolerant religious beliefs have led to the destruction of irreplaceable cultural treasures. For example, early Christians damaged and defaced Egyptian temples because they rejected the beliefs the temples represented. But historical precedents cannot make the malicious destruction of part of the common heritage of humanity any less deplorable.
