S.C. Bodner plans HQ in Carmel

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A national multi-family community developer and management company is planning to move its headquarters to Carmel.

S.C. Bodner has filed plans with the city to DEVELOPMENT build a three-story office building on 3.76 acres at 11505 N. Pennsylvania St. The 37,000-squarefoot building is planned to house the S.C. Bodner headquarters, which are currently on W. 62nd St. in Indianapolis, and provide space for other tenants.

Steven C. Bodner, third-generation president of the company founded in 1924 by his grandfather, said he selected Carmel because of its proximity to major interstates The new building is expected to include a roofand amenities in top lounge and outdoor patio areas. (Submitted Carmel. photo) “We thought we’d build a building in Carmel and use (its location) as a recruiting tool for additional employees and make it a little more convenient for our existing population,” Bodner said, adding that he lives in Carmel near the site.

The new building is expected to include a rooftop lounge, outdoor patios and other amenities.

“It’s going to be one of the coolest new buildings in Carmel,” Bodner said.

S.C. Bodner employs approximately 55 people, with more than a dozen based in Indianapolis. Bodner said he wants to double the number of employees working out of headquarters after the Carmel building is complete.

If approved by the city, construction is expected to begin this fall or in the spring of 2019 and last approximately nine months.

S.C. Bodner has completed approximately 6,000 apartment units in 15 states during Steven Bodner’s tenure. The company developed the Mohawk Hills (now Gramercy) apartments in Carmel and Meridian Towers East and West and Eagle Creek Apartments in Indianapolis, but it hasn’t completed projects locally for many years.

“Previous generations built here in Indianapolis,” Bodner said. “We haven’t built here for a while, although that may change.”

The Carmel Plan Commission is set to discuss the project at its 7 p.m. meeting Sept. 18 at City Hall.

Specialty hospital proposed

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com An orthopedic specialty hospital has been proposed on 18 acres on the southeast corner of 111th and Illinois streets.

The Carmel Plan Commission is set FRANCISCAN HEALTH to hear a request at its Sept. 18 meeting to rezone the north 6.16 acres of the site from single-family to Meridian Corridor zoning to match the south parcel and allow the entire area to be developed at the same time.

The Franciscan Health Orthopedic Center of Excellence is proposed on the site. Plans filed with the city state that the $130 million project will include a 135,000-square-foot hospital building and 120,000-square-foot medical office building. It also will have a multistory parking garage and skybridge connecting the garage to the hospital.

Most of the improvements will be made on the south parcel. The north parcel may be used in part for stormwater management and surface parking to support the buildings on the south parcel. The project is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete.

The Franciscan Health Carmel Hospital opened in 2012 about 1.5 miles north of the proposed site of the specialty hospital. The Center for Hip & Knee Surgery in Carmel and another in Mooresville combine to perform more than 2,500 joint replacements each year, and that number is expected to continue to rise as the population ages.

“In 2017, Franciscan Health again evaluated the growing demand for orthopedic services in the market and determined that Franciscan’s Carmel hospital is not equipped to handle the projected growth over the next 20 years,” state planning documents filed with the city.

The plan commission is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Sept. 18 at City Hall.

Sale of famous painting leads to charges, plea

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A former Carmel resident pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting to evade or defeat a tax for fees he earned related CRIME to the sale of a famous Italian painting.

Brian Gimelson, a New Jersey resident who lived in Carmel from 2012 to 2013 and in Westfield from 2013 to 2015, signed a plea agreement Sept. 12 that outlines his tax evasion scheme.

Court documents state that Green Moss Partners, which was managed by Gimelson’s wife, according to its formation papers, was involved in the October 2012 purchase and sale of 400-year-old painting, “David With the Head of Goliath,” by Italian artist Michelangelo Caravaggio.

Green Moss received more than $1.2 million as a fee for its role in the transaction, the documents state, but taxes were never paid.

“Brian Gimelson evaded the tax assessment of the income received from the Caravaggio painting transaction by creating Green Moss

as his alter ego and having his wife serve as the nominee managing member of the company,” the plea agreement states.

It also states that Gimelson “maintained complete control over Green Moss and its assets” despite not being an authorized holder or user of the accounts. It states he instructed his wife to make frequent substantial cash withdrawals from Green Moss accounts, which he used to purchase collectibles, precious metals and other items.

Gimelson could face up to 10 years in prison, a $100,000 fine and restitution payments.

The intersection at City Center Drive and 3rd Avenue SW is closed through Sept. 21 for final resurfacing of a new roundabout.

Carmel Drive and Old Meridian Street is closed for construction of a roundabout. The closure is planned through September.

Lane restrictions are under way near Keystone Parkway and 96th Street, where a new roundabout interchange will be built.

Construction is expected to last through 2019.

Construction on a new access ramp from Lowes Way to Keystone Parkway is under way. Phase one of the project is expected to be complete in October 2019.

West 96th Street is closed west of Ditch Road for a storm water culvert project. The road is expected to reopen by Oct. 1.

mission, not municipal codes.

“While we did not go through the formal board of public works process, we have kept them informed about the alternative location,” Duke spokesperson Angeline Protogere stated in an email. “We listened to the neighbors’ concerns and we are glad to be able to find an alternative site that resolves a number of issues and still enables us to upgrade our electric system to keep up with the area’s growth.”

Originally, Duke planned to build the substation on property it owns just north of the Autumn Lake neighborhood, but the company selected a new location after residents objected to that site.

“They asked us if there might be another option, so we scouted around and we were able to find another piece of property for sale and a willing seller,” said Lew Middleton, Duke Energy spokesperson.

The substation will be built on a site previously home to two rental houses owned by Breakfast Club, LLC. City Councilor Jeff Worrell was a partner in Breakfast Club and recused himself from the discussion and vote on the ordinance in November because of the homes’ proximity to the site.

Elevator repair unearths history

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A major repair to one of the two elevators in Carmel’s City Hall has left it unavailable for most of the year CITY NEWS and unearthed a bit of history in the process.

The elevator has been out of use since late January 2018 when a defective jack assembly was discovered. As crews worked to remove the assembly, they discovered that the underground cylinder that houses the assembly 40 feet into the ground had succumbed to years of corrosion and needed to be re-dug.

“We were notified on Jan. 31 that it would take some time to draw the plans for a new assembly and then several weeks to build a new jack assembly,” City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely said. “It was also difficult to find a company with the expertise and equipment to re-dig that hole, but when one was found, they were not available right away.”

Some guests to City Hall recently noticed an unpleasant smell emanating from the elevator. McFeely said the stench came from water pumped into the hole to help

reduce friction.

The digging unearthed some items that appear to be old trash, such as small pieces of plastic and a rubber hose, but discarded items did not cause the odor, McFeely said, adding that the site once sat empty behind houses on Range Line Road.

City Hall opened for business in 1990.

“The area had been used by some of the people in those corners to dump some of their heavy stuff,” McFeely said.

The city has spent nearly $67,000 on the elevator repair and associated drilling.

McFeely said the extended length of the project has not led to an increased cost.

Hamilton County opened its new morgue Sept. 10 at Riverview Health in Noblesville.

It has 20 beds, including RIVERVIEW two for homicide victims.

The new facility is roughly four times the square footage of the old morgue, which had only two beds.

On average, seven bodies occupied the old morgue at a time. As a result, funeral homes often assisted in storing bodies before the new facility opened.

The new morgue has two rooms — a body cooler and an autopsy suite. There are 18 beds in the cooler. The homicide victim beds are in the autopsy suite. The purpose is to limit the chain of custody to coroner personnel and hospital security staff.

The new facility cost a little more than $1 million. Hamilton County Commissioners contributed approximately half of the funding.

Other additions include a separate viewing area for families to identify the deceased through a window. Stainless steel accents are covered to provide a less cold feel to the process. Previously, families would identify the person in the one-room morgue. The new viewing area will be used

as an exam room for the day clinic, when the viewing window will be covered.

“I’ve told my office and the guys that work for me that we are public servants and we want to serve the people in this community with dignity,” county Coroner John Chalfin said. “We want to ensure the family has a softer blow.”

A death becomes a coroner’s case if it is an automobile accident, a suspicious death, an act of violence such as a homicide or a suicide, a drug overdose or an unattended death.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is expected to handle more than 475 deaths this year.

The most value for those you value most.

When you compare the costs of in-home assistance with a retirement community, you may be surprised that our community provides not only top-notch care, amenities, activities, housekeeping and dining; it’s also a better value.

Torr eager to continue serving

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com

Open House Thursday, November 8 from 5:30-8:00 p.m.

State Rep. Jerry Torr, the Republican incumbent for Indiana House District 39, is running to fill the seat for a POLITICS 23rd year. He is facing a challenge from Democratic candidate Mark C. Hinton.

Torr is a sixth-generation Hoosier from Putnam County who graduated from Greencastle High School in 1976. He studied orchestration, composition and film Torr scoring at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, Calif., and returned to Indiana in 1979 after graduation.

“I did some music stuff for a while, but you get married and have stepkids and have to take care of the family and have a steady income, so I got into the insurance business around 1983,” he said.

Torr’s twin brother was the first to get involved in politics by contributing to a gubernatorial campaign in 1980 and later

transitioning to work in the lieutenant governor’s office, which Torr said sparked his interest in politics.

“I never thought I would be a candidate myself until I got into my mid-30s,” he said.

In his role, Torr was instrumental in passing the Daylight Saving Time bill in 2006 as well as House Bill 1001, Employee’s Right to Work, in 2012.

Torr said he is running for re-election so that he can continue to be a part of the team that drives economic development in Indiana.

CAMPAIGN PLATFORMS Workforce development: Remove the divide between skills future employees are learning versus skills employers are requesting.

School funding: Ensure suburban schools receive a fair funding allocation.

Redistricting: Introduce a bill to create a non-partisan redistricting commission to end gerrymandering.

Apple Store now open

By Renee Larr • news@currentincareml.com The Apple Store, a fall favorite at Conner Prairie, opened Sept. 1. The store sells a variety of fall treats, including salted FALL caramel apples, toffee apples, cider slushies, apple butter, pies, apple and pumpkin donuts and fresh-fromthe-orchard apples.

“All of our apples come from Garwood Orchards in LaPorte. We’re once again offering our caramel apples and caramel apples rolled in nuts,” said Becky Brammer, the store’s vice president. “We also have caramel apples we dip in chocolate and toffee pieces. We always have our gourmet apples. We’ll offer a new apple dipped in caramel, then dipped in chocolate and rolled in broken pretzel pieces. We also have $1 specialties.”

The Apple Store offers specialty food items like apple butter, jam and baking mixes.

“We’re trying to go a little more Indiana and local with our food items this year,” Brammer said. “We’re paying more attention to where our food products come from because we are an Indiana-based group.”

In 2017, the store sold more than 1,000 gallons of cider, 6,220 plain caramel apples, 4,330 dozen donuts and 13,000 slushies.

“We’ve grown every year,” Brammer said.

Le Dîner en Blanc, a worldwide chic dining event, will make its Indianapolis debut this month, thanks in part to EVENT longtime Carmel resident Jessica Brand.

Brand’s company, Emerald Street Creative LLC, applied for the licensing in 2017 and was granted it this year. Brand co-owns the company with Indianapolis residents Amber Clarke and Dr. Katasha Butler.

“Several people over the course of the last five years (have tried) to bring it to Indianapolis and they’ve turned them down, so we were very pleased to be chosen,” Brand said.

The posh picnic dinner is set for the evening of Sept. 28 in Indianapolis. Guests, all dressed in white, meet at different locations.

“You don’t know where you are going until you get on a bus,” Brand said. “The whole concept is to meet new people, see old friends, have fabulous food and good beverages.”

Thirty years ago, the original host, Francios Pasquier, came up with the idea after he moved from Paris and later returned to the city.

From left, Amber Clarke, Jessica Brand and Dr. Katasha Butler co-own Emerald Street Creative LLC, the company hosting Le Dîner en Blanc Indianapolis. (Submitted photo).

Pasquier’s son, Aymeric, decided to turn it into a business and held the first one outside Paris in Montreal in 2009. The first one in the U.S. was in New York in 2011. It’s grown to 80 cities in 30 nations.

The cost for the international fee to become a member is $18 and tickets are sold in pairs for $86. There are options for food or wine purchase. Guests can bring their own French picnic food. Guests must bring their own table, chairs, dishes and tablescapes.

Ticket costs cover space and transportation. For more, visit indianapolis.dinerenblanc.com.

She hopes to use her story to make an impact as the keynote speaker at the seventh annual Hope Rising SOHO Gala Dinner, set for 6:30 p.m.

Oct. 2 at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St., in Carmel.

“We’re honoring a prominent African woman with an impactful story as a victim herself,” said Wassema Ali, gala chair. “I think many people will be able to relate to her on a human level. For her to go through what she went through and come out of it with a focus and the optimism she has would be such a missed opportunity if we didn’t celebrate that more in Carmel.”

SOHO, or Saving Orphans through Healthcare and Outreach, is committed to helping children in Africa. The gala is a black-tie event hosted by Cindy Simon Skojodt.

“SOHO is headquartered in Indianapolis.

but a lot of their work is actually in Swaziland in Africa,” Ali said. “Their mission is to improve the lives of orphaned children and vulnerable children, especially child-headed households in areas affected by HIV/AIDS. The programs work to educate, heal, feed, empower and nurture.”

SOHO has discovered a high level of sexual abuse of young women and girls in Swaziland, Ali said.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For the last two years, Katie Osborne has logged 250-plus days on the road anually.

Osborne, who grew up in PROFILE Carmel, is a television reporter and host for a variety of networks.

“It’s hard to find that balance overall,” Osborne said. “That’s why my work is so fortunate because it’s super fun and allows me to be with people that I really enjoy being with.”

Since 2015, Osborne, 31, has been a host on PowerNation, a year-round auto repair program which airs on CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Network and Paramount Network. Osborne typically is at PowerNation’s studio in Nashville, Tenn., but she travels to other places for the show as well.

“I consider that production company kind of my TV family,” said Osborne, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif.

Osborne, whose dream job was being on “Today,” finds she likes being on the move.

Another steady gig is being a reporter for Mecum Car Auctions for NBC Sports.

“Every car has a story, and it’s fun to have that conversation, and every person who owns one of those cars has a story,” she said. “Connecting with people and telling their story is really special.”

Osborne covers Snocross for CBS Sports.

She works for IndyCar for live events and digital reporting. She covers The Off-Road Racing Championship for Fox Sports. One of her favorite roles was serving as a reporter for the 2013 Global X Games.

“Being a reporter for Fox Sports in San Diego covering the Padres was fun,” Osborne said. “Being a part of PowerNation is really fulfilling. It’s allowed me to get into the automotive and motorsports culture. I’m very much a Midwestern girl, so it’s cool having worked with the Indianapolis Colts, Indianapolis Indians, Indiana Pacers and IndyCar. Covering the Indy 500 was super special, covering it with the (public address) team.”

In addition, Osborne has covered a rodeo in Austria. She has helped cover the Rose Bowl as a pregame and in-game host and reporter for its in-house production team several times and performed similar duties for the 2014 and 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

“I jokingly say it’s tough to keep it straight, whether I’m talking about cars, motorcycles or trucks or riders or drivers,”

Racing is her true passion, she once worked in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s credential office.

“Even when I’ve worked with baseball or football, I would always find myself back in racing,” said Osborne, whose boyfriend, Tanner Foust, is a professional racecar driver and was the TV host of “Top Gear.”

LETTER Roundabouts not always safe for pedestrians

ESSAY Trust in trust?

Commentary by Terry Anker A thoughtful strategic planning process places high importance on identifying and agreeing upon some statement of the work’s objective. Such sentences are often called missions, impact statements or visions. Of such importance are these declarations of an organization’s purpose and goals that our own nascent nation pulled together a Committee of Congress on July 4, 1776 to design a seal for the United States. Those good people included the motto E pluibus unum (translated from the Latin – Out of many, one – we are all in this together, so trust in each other).

Although the motto was never adopted independently from the Great Seal, it did unofficially hold in the intervening 175 years from 1782 until 1956 when Congress decided to declare “In God We Trust” as our maxim. Mostly appearing on U.S. currency, the dictum became more relevant as our nation abandoned the gold standard of underwriting our money, moving instead to a system largely based in trust of the federal government. Scores of political, academic and financial leaders have debated, and continue to review, the efficacy of the shift. Trust became the central element to our economy.

Even as the crime rate in our state’s largest city hits record levels, local law enforcement routinely laments the reluctance of citizens’ trust in partnering with it to identify perpetrators. But the data reveals that the past several decades have been tough on faith. Still, can a society survive without it? Can trust be extorted or only earned?

And even if we trust in God, can we be expected to do the same for Uncle Sam? In a time when our confidence is strained, how do we find our way back to conviction? Is trust enough, or is it the only thing?

Snow place like home Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband Doo is in the midst of planning a short ski vacation to Michigan for our six-pack this January. He is HUMOR super excited about it because he loves skiing and he loves family. Bonus: three of his siblings are joining the party, along with their kids! Shared bathrooms, dangerous physical activity and freezing cold weather! Yeah, count me out.

I’m serious. I told Doo I wasn’t going. I’m not a huge fan of repeatedly hurling myself down frozen mountains in order to justify an evening Jacuzzi and hot toddy. I much prefer the beach, where the wind doesn’t hurt your face and the only potential hazard is a portly man-in-Speedos sighting.

Plus, it’s my birthday that weekend and this little adventure is quite literally at the bottom of the Great Ideas for Celebrating “47” list. As a middle-aged working mom, quiet is my drug of choice. Deciding which Net-

flix show to binge-watch is about as much sport as I can handle. And my ideal gift is to be left to my own devices in a space where I can keep an immaculately clean kitchen 24-7. Three days with in-laws, bruises and the inevitable fatigue-induced bickering, on top of unavoidable hypothermia, is a proven recipe for Cuckoo Land. No. Just no.

So, I am staying put, by myself, in cornfield-flat, moderately less chilly Indiana. Doo is disappointed but understands. We are different people with different needs, and far be it for him to stand in the way of my dream birthday. Besides, Doo gets a dream fulfilled, too, a ski trip with family! Truly winwin, with my win being warmer.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Autumn wins you best by this its, mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

-Robert Browning

Editor, I am 16 years old but I do not have my driver’s license yet. The best way for me to get around the city is either by biking or walking. I also like the exercise.

I have noticed that the roundabouts, while great for car traffic, are not safe for pedestrians and bikers. Unlike stoplights, where a person can press the button for the walkers’ signal, there is no such device to stop the flow of car traffic at a roundabout.

The most dangerous intersection is at Carmel Drive and Range Line Road. It is almost impossible, especially at rush hour, to walk across the street. I am concerned that a careless driver could run over somebody.

A possible solution would be to install pedestrian lights.

Charles Prater, Carmel

I have noticed that the roundabouts, while great for car traffic, are not safe for pedestrians and bikers.

Research guns before you buy Commentary by Jason Peek Since the end of June, I have taken 31 hours of handgun courses, and I learned more than I thought there OPINION ever was to learn.

It blew my mind when I learned that, in Indiana, one can get a lifetime concealed-carry permit at age 21 with no required training. All one has to do is go to the firearms store, pick out the biggest, coolest gun a heart desires, get hollow-point bullets and start carrying a gun around.

Consider: Just to drive vehicles, we all took courses and a test. Everyone that is licensed for his or her profession (doctors, lawyers, etc.) had to do the same thing.

Barbers? Yes, of course. I had to take 1,500 hours of school just to cut hair, and there is no possible way I can kill you or alter your life forever by giving you a haircut.

If you desire to protect yourself and your family at a bare minimum, then I would

suggest you go to a firearms store or range where you can hold and shoot a firearm before you buy one.

Get a professional instructor to help you with what you need, then take responsibility and enroll in a course – and I mean an outdoor course that allows you to draw from a holster and not simply shoot in a range.

The Second Amendment is a right; you can choose not to carry or to carry, but firearms are not a joke and life is not a movie, so be responsible to all your fellow Americans and spend a little time and money to make sure that when something bad is happening down the road, you’re not making life-changing decisions for others around you.

city allows this as well.

There have been Sunday mornings at 7 a.m. that I have to listen to nail guns and large equipment because there are homes nearby that are allowed to be built at odd hours. If the lawn mower issue is going to be enforced, then this should also be revised.

Thornton is HuddleforHope’s answer Editor, We are a group of mothers, grandmothers and independent women who are concerned about the direction of our country.

After the election of 2016, HuddleforHope began meeting monthly to share feelings, learn from each other, encourage each other, participate in events together and most especially to feel empowered to make a difference.

Sitting around the fire in a living room in early 2017, we closed our eyes and envisioned what we wanted our world to look like by 2021. How could we mobilize our community to win back a country for the people? Who should be representing us in Congress? After a few minutes, we opened

our eyes and described a world of new, diverse leaders who were representative of all of us.

A great vision, but how do we get there?

Where do we find great candidates who can help move our country in the right direction? When we find such candidates, let’s support them, work for them and share their message of unity instead of division.

HuddleforHope found that candidate in Dee Thornton! She is the person we envisioned on that dreary night in February when we felt angry, lost and in disbelief.

We are hopeful that you will vote for Dee. She is ready to listen to you, to work for you and to represent you and all of us.”

Carmel International Arts Festival boasts new layout,booths

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel International Arts Festival will follow a new path, literally, for its 21st year.

COVER STORY “We’ve changed the footprint of the festival. Some of the booths that were to the west end of Main Street have been moved in front of the Indiana Design Center on Range Line Road,” CIAF Executive Director Dawn Fraley said. “We are incorporating more activities inside the Design Center. We’re pretty excited about it. We’ve got two floors in there. On the second floor we have the Microsoft digital art experience, where they are going to be experimenting with tablets and art. It’s a Minecraft art project. It’s for all ages, but I think it would appeal mostly to kids.”

The festival, presented by Current Publishing, is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 22 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 23. In the past, the festival’s final day started an hour earlier, but Fraley said the opening hour on Sunday was sparsely attended.

Fraley said the Design Center wanted to have a larger role in the festival.

“It’s a great space, and we’re excited to be able to utilize it,” Fraley said.

On the Design Center’s main floor, there will be a display by Herron School of Art’s Emerging Artists. The artwork will only be

on display, not for sale.

“It’s to give them an idea what it’s like to have an art show, and hopefully they’ll get a chance to talk to the artists about what it’s like to have an art show,” Fraley said.

In front of the Design Center, the Andretti Autosport IndyCar will be on display. The Young@Art project, sponsored

by Primrose Schools, ties into Andretti Autosport’s Military to Motorsports program by creating art to send to military members along with thank-you notes.

“There are three different art projects that young artists (ages 2-12) can choose from to make for the military,” Fraley said.

“AARP is sponsoring the art supplies.”

In addition, Guerin Catholic High School students have designed and will be painting a mural in the lower level of the Design Center parking garage. The main entertainment stage has moved as well. It will be situated in front of PNC Bank on the north end of Range Line Road facing south.

Other festival features include a high school curated art show at Hoosier Salon with students’ artwork selected from Carmel High School and University High School students. Six scholarships will be awarded to winning artists.

CHS students will have community paint-by-number canvases for festival visitors to put their mark on the project.

New booths include Herron School of Art, Carmel Education Foundation and Carmel Clay Public Library Digital Media Lab, Fraley said.

Fraley previously was CIAF president for three years before the new role of

executive director was created. Rosemary Waters is serving as interim president.

ART ROCKS! RETURNS

For the second consecutive year, Art Rocks! will be held with The Wright Brothers performing from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Sept. 22.

Organizers decided to hold the street party last year as part of the festival’s 20th anniversary. At that time, the plan was to only do it for one year.

“It was a huge hit,” Fraley said. “I was super thrilled on the way it was received last year.”

The Bishops performed last year.

“We’ll be doing rock covers,” Tim Wright said. “We’ll do some Eagles, Bachman Turner Overdrive and we might even throw in an Aerosmith song.”

Former regular band member Frank Bradford, a lead guitarist and vocalist, will be joining the Wright Brothers.

“He does shows with us once in awhile,” Wright said. “This is one we’ve asked him to do with us because he’s a good rocker.”

LIONS CLUB JOINS AS FOOD VENDOR

The Carmel Lions Club will join the festival as a food vendor for the first time this year. It will serve German brats, German chicken and soft pretzels.

Urick Concessions will bring its Indiana State Fair favorite, Deep Fried Wick’s Sugar Cream Pie, a new item for the festival.

Fauvergue’s Italian Ice will feature Arctic Shake-Up, a shake-up with Italian Ice.

Icy relationships Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My sister just returned from a vacation in Iceland. She learned that the biggest issue men have with women in HUMOR Iceland is not that the ladies are frigid. The men can be a little frosty themselves — but temperature is relative. The person they meet at the pub could actually be a relative.

Not a lot of people summer in Iceland, largely because summer lasts about four hours. As a result, swinging singles often end up together not realizing that some of their ancestors were swinging from the same family tree. Most Icelanders hail from a group of ninth-century Viking settlers whose descendants are still on the island, except those who went to Hollywood to make Capital One commercials.

Wedding planners and family reunion organizers compete for the same guests. Online dating services in Iceland try hard to match people who enjoy spectator sports, hunting and moonlight walks, and have different grandparents.

Recently, software engineers produced an app that features a “bump” function.

Potential lovers tap phones together to

see how closely they are related. If it’s a genetic match, an “incest alarm” sounds.

With 22 hours of sunshine each day from May through August, if you are looking for things that go bump in the night, you have less than two hours to make your move on a potential kissin’ cousin.

One user commented he regretted it wasn’t released earlier: “If I had access to this service last year,” he wrote, “I probably wouldn’t have gone home with a relative.” The operative word is “probably,” because pickins for eligible women are slim in Reykjavik.

One resident, Arnar Freyr Adalsteinsson, says he seldom uses the bumping feature: “I just use common sense. Even if the girl is hot, if her name is Gloria Freyr Adalsteinsson, I am going to be a little wary.”

The application only works for Androids.

I’m no expert on human sexuality, but if you’re an android, it’s probably safe to go home with anybody you want.

Gluten-free fest returns

By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com A national food festival that had its start in Carmel returns to Indiana this month. The Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest is DIET set for Sept. 29 and 30 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Nearly 100 vendors are expected.

Seven years ago, a group of Carmel women recently diagnosed with celiac disease — an autoimmune disorder that damages the small intestine when digesting gluten — created an event to give others living a gluten-free lifestyle a sense of community and information on the disease.

“It received some national recognition which put it on the map, and then it was bought out by Gluten Free & More Magazine,” said Lindsey Bockhorst, marketing director for the Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest. “Everything in life is about timing, and they were looking to get into the consumer show space, and the idea was born to take (the fest) around the country.”

Indianapolis is the fifth stop of a six-city tour. Each stop features national and local exhibitors. Native Bread, Chef Bricker and the Urban Ladle are a few of the local vendors that will be featured during the Indianapolis stop. The festival also features speakers, researchers, cooking demonstrations and more.

“There are lectures on different topics for anyone who is new to the gluten-free lifestyle or those who have been diagnosed for a while but have stale recipes or need to hear about new information,” Bockhorst

said. “It’s a way to say, ‘Hey, you’re not in this alone. There’s a whole community out there dealing with the same things as you.’

And it lets people know it’s not about deprivation but finding new items that work for you.”

Bockhorst said living gluten-free has changed dramatically through the years.

“Ten years ago if you asked someone what food they could eat that was glutenfree, they probably would have said a cardboard pizza, but it’s really opened up now,” Bockhorst said. “And this is a way to meet others who eat like them, especially for kids who can’t eat what their friends do, to really normalize it for them.”

The Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 30. Tickets are $15 for one day and $25 for a weekend pass. Discounts for seniors and children are available. Current readers can receive a 20 percent discount online using the code CURRENT18.

Cancer fundraiser – September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. To honor their son, Brooks, who passed away of childhood cancer, the Blackmore family of Carmel has teamed up with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to raise money for research. OMelia Candle Studio has created a candle in Brooks’ honor with $4 of every sale going to St. Baldrick’s.

Candles can be purchased online at Etsy.com.

Music and menu choices — It’s no secret that restaurants use colors, lighting

and music to try to influence diner’s food choices. Now a study suggests that theory may be fact. The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods of quiet music.

When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud.

To help prevent the evening snack urges, try eating a high-protein dinner. Avoid high-carb foods like pasta and potatoes late in the day. They stimulate insulin production and can make you feel hungry two hours later.

Cake Bake Shop, a Broad Ripple eatery famous for its elaborate cakes and pastries, announced in 2017 that COMING SOON a new location would open in Carmel in the fall of 2018. But the opening has been delayed to the spring of 2019.

Cake Bake Shop owner Gwendolyn Rogers said construction on the new, 3,600-square-foot space Rogers is taking longer than anticipated.

“There’s no glitch on anybody’s part. It’s just because of construction. It just always takes longer than you think it will,” Rogers said. “This is a very large build-out with a lot of details to it, so we figured it would be best to take our time. I think opening in the spring will be nice.”

Although the Carmel location will be significantly larger than the 1,900-square-foot Broad Ripple store, Rogers said some of the design elements will be similar. She expects the Carmel location to have a different atmosphere, however.

“It’s going to be a better and prettier and

larger space. It will look like a white house on the outside, so it will look like the Broad Ripple one but a bit nicer,” Rogers said.

“There will be a covered outdoor patio with ceiling fans. All the chandeliers are going to be Swarovski crystal, so it will be very elegant.”

Of all the changes that Rogers plans to bring to the Cake Bake Shop’s Carmel location, the one she is most anticipating involves a French dessert made famous in New Orleans.

“I’m most excited about making beignets on the weekends,” Rogers said. “I’m from New Orleans, and I wanted to make them in Broad Ripple but I just did not have enough space in the kitchen.”

Thai & Go opens on 146th St.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Gary Gibson was born in America, but his wife, Laddawan Siriwong, was born in Thailand. They married four RESTAURANT years ago. The Westfield residents first met in Thailand and their shared dream has been to open an authentic Thai restaurant in the city.

Last month, their dream came true when they opened Thai & Go at 2796 E. 146th St. “We offer authentic Thai food and it’s a full-service restaurant,” Gibson said. “We decided to open this and give it a try on our own. I had retirement coming up in a couple years and wanted something to occupy our time with.”

Gibson said the restaurant can seat up to 50 guests inside and 25 on the patio. He said food from Thai & Go also is available through Door Dash.

Actors return to perform same role in Carmel Community Players’ ‘Forever Plaid’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Forever Plaid” has a forever feel for all four of the actors.

Rich Phipps, Syd Loomis and MUSIC Howard Baetzhold performed in the same role together for 10 consecutive years. The fourth actor, Darrin Gowan, is joining the trio for the first time but played his same role in 2003 for another theater.

The Carmel Community Players will present the musical from Sept. 21 to Oct. 7 at The Cat Theatre in Carmel. The three actors performed in the show together at CCP the first time in 2001. They then reprised their roles for nine years at different venues, primarily for fundraisers.

“The groups are modeled around the groups of the ’50s, like The Four Aces, The Four Freshmen and the Four Lads,” said Phipps, a Carmel resident who is the producer and plays Frankie. “The name ‘Forever Plaid’ is a take-off on the Four Lads. We are supposed to be high school students in the ‘50s and we all met in the audio/visual club. We started rehearsing in the basement of Smudge’s family plumbing supplies company. We start performing at school dances, bowling alley functions and weddings. We’re on our way to pick up our new tuxedos for our first big concert at the airport lounge in Pittsburgh.

We were side-swiped by a bus of girls that was on its way to see The Beatles on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ in 1964. We were killed instantly.

“Metaphorically, it was out with the old music and in with the new. Through some holes in the ozone layer and so forth, we are able to come back in 2018 and do the show we never got to do.”

There are 29 songs from the 1950s and ‘60s, including songs from groups like the harmony quartets along with Perry Como and Harry Belafonte.

“We always figure the cast of ‘Forever Plaid’ can be any age as long as they look like they might have all gone to high school together,” Phipps said. “It’s got some bittersweet moments. It’s got a lot

of humor.”

Sandy Baetzhold, Noblesville, serves as the director, musical director and accompanist. Her husband, Baetzhold, plays Smudge.

“I was musical director when we did it in 2001, and after that we kept it together,” she said. “We averaged doing it once or twice for the next nine years. I sure never thought I’d do it again, but I’m happy that I am. This is a perfect venue for the show.”

Loomis, a Cicero resident, performs as Jinx. Darrin Gowan, from Indianapolis, plays Sparky.

“I’m the asthmatic second tenor leader,” Phipps said. “We all have our foibles.

Sparky has a retainer and has a bit of a lisp. Jinx has a nose-bleed problem when he sings his high notes. Smudge is dyslexic and has a stomach problem.”

Gowan said his character is the baritone.

“He thinks he’s the funny one and ladies’ man, although it doesn’t turn out that way,” Gowan said. “It was just what the popular music used to be when you

saw ‘The Perry Como Show’ or “The Andy Williams Show.’ My parents played this music like I play classic rock for my kids.”

Loomis said his character is shy and timid and is Sparky’s stepbrother.

“The high notes are getting higher with age,” Loomis said.

Phipps said they expected a younger crowd to audition for the roles this time, but it didn’t happen.

“I wasn’t going to be in it. I was going to co-direct it with Sandy,” Phipps said.

“After two nights, it became apparent I should audition, and we got some of these other guys. Darrin had already auditioned.”

CHS holds unique fall musical

SCHEDULE NOW BEFORE WINTER

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School senior Chase LaPlante is finding quite a bit to like about the fall musical, “Edges.”

EVENT “It’s very unique. What I like about it most is the creative freedom we are given as actors, especially students. We don’t get the chance to build our own songs and our own characters,” LaPlante said. “The directors have been awesome in letting us do almost anything we want and take any interpretation we want with our songs.”

“Edges,” which is set for Sept. 21 to 23 at the CHS auditorium, is a song cycle, a group of songs performed in a sequence as a unit.

“It’s not a super well-known show, but it’s kind of blank-slate intentionally how it was written,” director Sam Chenoweth said.

“They picked the order of the show. They picked their costumes and blocking their own numbers. We’re taking a student-led approach.”

The musical was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote the musical, “Dear Evan Hansen.” The duo also wrote songs for “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman.”

Jazz Fest features local stars

By Mark Johnson editorial@youarecurrent.com For the past two decades, Indy Jazz Fest has featured some of the most iconic artists and performers from the MUSIC realms of jazz, blues and R&B. Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, B.B. King and Tony Bennett are just a few to have headlined or performed at the festival, which started Sept. 13 and concludes Sept. 22.

Even as the festival has grown into a showcase for music’s superstars, Indianapolis-area and emerging artists have maintained a high profile during the multiday event. Saxophonist Amanda Gardier and guitarist Charlie Ballantine, both from Indianapolis, are two of this year’s talents who will share the spotlight. Gardier performed on the same bill with Anat Cohen and Trio Brasileiro Sept. 16.

Gardier, who has performed with other area artists like Ballantine and Rob Dixon, released her debut album, “Empathy,” in August.

Although Gardier said she enjoyed her time in the studio, she said it’s the live ex-

Oca

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Inside Sun King Spirits taproom and distillery, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: King Roland Price: $10.95 Anna’s take: I ordered the King Roland sandwich. It burst with flavor as soon as I bit into it. It’s a souped-up meatball sandwich, but the bun never got soggy even though I took my time consuming it. Meatballs nestled at the bottom of a bun are blanketed with roast corned beef top round, onion, mushrooms and red sauce. The entire sandwich is smothered in melty provolone cheese. All ingredients harmonize with the others. The sub would be perfect to enjoy on a cooler day as fall approaches while sitting on Sun King Spirit’s rooftop patio.

Oca is one of four restaurants inside Sun King Spirits, a new taproom and distillery just off the Monon near downtown Carmel.

Sun King Spirits features the emerging concept of food halls, where multiple eater-

ies with different menus are housed within one establishment. Guests pick their table, and a server takes their drink order. Guests then enter the eatery within the food hall from which they wish to order. Oca is on the first floor. Dishes are sausage-based.

It also offers charcuterie boards. Oca is a food-service collaboration between Smoking Goose and Sun King. In the Italian and Spanish languages, oca means goose. Smoking Goose acquires its meats from small, local family farms with naturally raised, antibiotic-free stock that is vegetarian-fed without gestation pens.

Suggested pairings: A pint of Sun King’s Wee Mac, a Scottish ale that pairs well with the warm, rich depth of the King Roland.

Church hosts Greek festival

Sept. 23. Admission is free. Parking is available for $5 at Journey Lutheran Ministries, 10401 E. 116th St., Fishers.

The festival will feature a Middle Eastern band, hourly dances and food booths with items such as lamb shanks, falafel, gyros, kibbe, kafta, spinach pies, grape leaves and desserts. Food is homemade by church members. Guided church tours will be available to view its architecture and Greek iconography. Vendors selling jewelry, art, olivewood crafts and other items also will be on-site.

The festival’s goals include community outreach, allowing the St. George community to work together in harmony and raise funds to pay off the church’s mortgage.

Last year, the event raised $40,000.

Although the festival showcases Greek and Middle Eastern favorites, the church embraces all culture with regard to its

membership.

Although masses are spoken in English, some portions are spoken in Romanian, Russian, Greek, Spanish and Arabic. Nearly 50 percent of church members speak two or more languages, including Rowa Mercho.

Mercho is from Damascus, Syria. She immigrated to the United States in 1994. Last year, she went on a church pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where her faith was reignited.

“I’m Orthodox. I grew up Orthodox and always had that faith and feelings and I love the Byzantine music, but I cannot describe the feelings when you go to Jerusalem,” she said. “Spiritually, you get lifted up. I just cried.”

MSP honors first responders

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For most Americans, the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center evoke graphic images of THEATER fire, fear, death and destruction.

Although moved by the same recollections, Kate Hinman wants to show the less visible but no-less Wallyn powerful side of the cataclysm, one in which everyday human beings — rescue workers, in particular — had to cope with the grievous aftermath.

That’s the focus of “The Guys,” a Main Street Productions, Inc. play that begins an eight-show run Sept. 21 and concludes Oct. 8 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W Ind. 32.

“When people hear the date ‘9/11,’ the immediate inner visions are the towers coming down, the dust in the streets, the after-horror of the first responders searching to recover victims and thousands upon thousands of pictures and messages posted near the site in and around New York,” said Hinman, the play’s director. “‘The Guys’ brings the experience to a much smaller,

personal experience between two people who talk about first responders framed as all of us.”

Written by Anne Nelson, “The Guys” tells the story of a newspaper editor, Joan, who helps a FDNY captain, Nick, prepare eulogies for eight firefighters under his command who died when the Twin Towers collapsed.

Joan is played by Julie Aiello Wallyn, a Kokomo resident and Westfield Playhouse veteran. Nick is played by Joe Aiello, a former Fishers resident who recently moved to Indianapolis. He is making his Westfield Playhouse debut.

Wallyn and Aiello are the only cast members in the one-hour production, which includes a post-show “talk back,” where the audience is invited to stay for a conversation with the cast and crew.

“It’s a real honor to be able to play this role and to try to portray one of these guys that was involved in this situation,” Aiello said. “It’s intimidating but it’s rewarding.”

All first responders who make a reservation at westfieldplayhouse.org and present an ID will be admitted free.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to perform

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s rich repertoire will be on display during its concert stop in Carmel.

CONCERT “We’re going to play, ‘Buy For Me The Rain,’ which was our very first single in 1967, and then we’ll be playing songs from the album we did a couple of years ago,” founding member and singer-guitarist Jeff Hanna said.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Palladium. The group visited the Palladium in March 2016 as part of its 50th anniversary tour.

Ross Holmes, who plays fiddle and mandolin, has played with Mumford & Sons and Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers.

“He’s a fine picker. We’re glad to have him aboard,” Hanna said.

The other new member is Hanna’s son, Jaime.

“He played with a great band called The Mavericks for a while and most recently has been playing with a great country singer, Gary Allen,” Hanna said. “When John McEuen left our band last year, it gave us the opportunity to change things up and we’re just having a blast.”

VIPS & SIPS SEPT. 26 From left, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members Bob Carpenter, Jim Photoglo, Ross Holmes, Jaime Hanna, Jimmie Fadden and Jeff Hanna. (Photo by Glen Rose)

McEuen left to focus on his solo career.

McEuen joined the band in 1966 when Jackson Browne left after a few months to concentrate on a solo career. The band released its first album in 1967.

Hanna said the new members have energized the band, which also include original member Jimmie Fadden and Bob Carpenter, who has been with NGDB since the late 1970s.

“We are having the best time every night and there is a lot of musical discovery going on,” Hanna said.

After the tour ends in November, Hanna said they plan to get into the studio to create new music.

These are a few of my favorite (fad and trendy) things Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard

homeowners to consider the amount of “return on enjoyment” their decision to remodel will provide rather than just the potential for a return on their investment. The length of time you plan on staying in your soon-to-be remodeled home often affects scope and material choices. For maximum ROE, we encourage decisions that evoke a more timeless design aesthetic rather than the trendy. We try our best to help our homeowners avoid fads whose ROE is equally fleeting.

Harvest gold kitchens and purple shag carpet; Bright yellow bean bags and glowing lava lamps; Carpeted bathrooms and giant Jacuzzis; These are a few of my favorite things.

Nearly everyone cringes at the memory of having one or more of these icons in their home. Even though they may bring back fond memories of bygone eras, most would say these were not exactly aesthetically timeless decisions. These were certainly all fads. A few of them held on long enough to have been considered trends. Some of them are even coming back for another trip around the block. None of them could be considered timeless, but at the time they often provided great enjoyment. They may still conjure up fond memories.

We are often asked if a particular design decision, or if an entire remodeling project, will provide a good “return on investment.” We prefer to ask our

When the tile cracks, when the door leaks; When I’m feeling sad; I simply remember my favorite fads; And then I don’t feel so bad.

We look forward to helping you stay home and be moved.

A toast to direct and indirect objects Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Let’s face it: Fancy toast is the new cupcake. My friend Melvin is thinking about opening an artisan toast bar in SoNoHoBro, the hippest area of town GRAMMAR GUY that you haven’t even heard of yet.

If he wants to make some dough in this endeavor, Melvin can’t just loaf around all day. And, if you ask me, this seems like as good a time as any to better understand direct and indirect objects.

As an aspiring new business owner, Melvin needs some money. So you might say something like, “Melvin secured a loan from the bank.” In this sentence, “Melvin” is the subject. The subject of a sentence is the noun that is doing or being something. A direct object is a noun that receives the action performed by the subject. What did Melvin secure? A loan. “Loan” is the direct object.

Suppose Melvin’s toast bar, The Toast Office, is now celebrating its grand opening, and he’s hired his brother Kelvin to be the senior jam spreader. Although Mel thought it would be fitting to attempt the ceremonial ribbon cutting with a butter knife, it didn’t work out very well. As a result, Kelvin carefully handed the giant scissors to Melvin. In this sentence, “Kelvin” is the subject. “Scissors” is the direct object because it is the noun that receives Kelvin’s action.

“Melvin” is the indirect object. An indirect object (Melvin) is the recipient of the direct object (scissors).

The property address is 501 American Way North, Carmel, IN 46032. The application is identified as Docket No. 18080014 DP/ADLS: The Kent Building.

The real estate affected by said application is described as follows: 16-09-36-00-00-005.023, 16-09-36-00-00-005.024 All interested persons desiring to present their views on the above application either in writing or verbally, will be given an opportunity to be heard at the above mentioned time and place Petitioner: Village Capital Corporation NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION Docket Number: #18080015 DP Amend/ADLS Notice is hereby given that the Carmel Plan Commission meeting on October 16, 2018 at 6:00 pm in the City Hall Council Chambers, 1 Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032 will hold a Public Hearing upon Development Plan Amendment (DP) and Architecture, Design, Lighting/ Landscaping Signage (ADLS) Applications in order to: Obtain site plan and design approval for a new, three story event facility, totaling 12,792 sq. ft.

The property address is: approximately 13315 N. Illinois Street.

Carmel, IN. Also know as the vacant north lot between addresses 13295 and 13331.

The application is identified as Docket No. #18080015 DP Amend/ ADLS. The real estate affected by said application is described as follows: Tax ID # 16-09-26-00-00-001.102 All interested persons desiring to present their views on the above application, either in writing or verbally, will be given an opportunity to be heard at the above mentioned time and place.

Petitioner: Noah’s Event Venue c/o Chris Winkle

A few weeks later, The Toast Office is the white-hot epicenter of SoNoHoBro’s cultural scene. Mel and Kel have modified their toasters to make the springs superpowered, and the customers are encouraged to catch the toast on their plates (think Benihana, but with hot bread). The toaster propels the artisanal toast to the customer. In this sentence, the “toaster” (subject) propels the artisanal “toast” (direct object) to the “customer” (indirect object). I think we’re getting the hang of it now.

In order to start a successful toast bar business, it’s important to remember four things: It’s state law to put a hair net over your man bun, you’ve got to have a gluten-free option, always have an abundant stock of fresh avocados and know your direct and indirect objects. Do these things and your trendy startup will be the toast of the town.

Heated floor in Masada’s bath house. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

Masada’s royal bath house Commentary by Don Knebel Masada, located near the eastern border of Israel, is Israel’s second-most popular tourist destination, each year attracting almost 1 million visitors. For TRAVEL many, the most interesting thing to see is an elaborate bath complex built by Herod the Great.

In 37 B.C., the Roman Senate appointed Herod the King of Judea, a position he held until he died in 4 B.C. Known to Christians for ordering the killing of male babies in Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Jesus, Herod is known to history for his massive building projects, including the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and an artificial harbor on the Mediterranean coast named Caesarea Maritima.

To protect himself and his royal entourage from the constant threat of insurrection, Herod built a number of fortresses around his kingdom, the most famous one at Masada. Atop this isolated and rocky plateau in the Judean desert, then reachable only by a winding narrow path, Herod built two palaces, the northern one a three-

tiered structure more than 100 feet tall offering a spectacular view of the Dead Sea. Near his palaces, Herod constructed a fourroom Roman bath. After changing clothes in a room richly decorated with frescoes, royal bathers entered a room where air heated in a furnace was blown beneath a floor supported on posts, heating the entire room and causing bathers to perspire. After entering an adjoining room where they were scrubbed clean and oiled by slaves, bathers entered the final room, where they doused themselves in a pool of cold water.

Masada was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001. Today, Masada’s bath complex has been partially restored and models show how it looked during the time of King Herod. Visitors not wanting to climb the so-called “Snake Path” to the top can ride a cable car.

CARMEL CHRISTIAN CHURCH CELEBRATING

60 YEARS OF MINISTRY 1958-2018 Come join us Sunday September 23, 2018 10:30AM Worship

Diane and I are blessed to be the pastors of this congregation that brings a message of hope and healing to all that come through our door. We welcome people of all religious backgrounds, sexual orientations, cultures, colors, and ages.

Our motto is “come as you are” and as you enter our doors you will be loved and cared for. Over the years our congregation has always had a strong focus on outreach into our community. We are a part of the Carmel Interfaith Alliance and host to a PAL (Parents of Addicted Loved Ones) group that meets on Monday evenings 6:30 pm. Our Peace garden produced over a ton of vegetables this year for our local food bank. We are involved with CROP for Hunger, Bread for the World and Habitat for Humanity.

Pastor Diane & Jerry Zehr

We have been described as a congregation of 120 people that has the energy and passion of a church of 500. Our dress is casual with worship having a mix of traditional and contemporary songs. Come join us some Sunday as we step into our future for another 60 years.
