270 homes planned near Gramercy

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Plan Commission will consider a proposal for 270 new homes on 30 acres next to the Gramercy apartdevelopment ment complex on 126th Street. Indianapolisbased Platinum Properties Management Co. LLC is calling the project Gramercy West and wants to build units that would sell for between $300,000 to the mid-$400,000s.

City councilor Bruce Kimball, who represents the area, said he understands that people might be concerned about so many homes on only 30 acres of land, but he said the newly remodeled 126th Street is built to handle the additional traffic. Furthermore, he said the density is necessary to provide enough housing supply to help lower prices in Carmel. He said he’s heard that affordable housing is a concern for people living in Carmel, and limiting the housing supply will only drive up prices.

“The developers are building what the market is wanting,” Kimball said. “People are looking for walkability, and this is a perfect location for that.”

Kimball said the developer will host a meeting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the second floor caucus room at Carmel City Hall. The public is invited to ask questions, but it’s not an official city meeting and no decisions will be made.

The meeting will allow the developer to listen to concerns from residents and explain what the project could look like.

Kimball said the plan commission will make necessary changes so the public is satisfied with the end result.

“There will be improvements that we will ask for,” he said. “It’s a process.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s generally familiar with the initial proposal and would like to see some changes.

“The plan needs to be improved,” Brainard said. “They didn’t do a traditional block or grid system which is required in the planned unit development.”

The proposal includes a 6.2-acre common area, swimming pool, playground and picnic area.

BZA says no to events at Lucas Estate

Carmel’s Board of Zoning Appeals denied a variance for Lucas Estate to hold semipublic events such as wedcity news dings, receptions, fundraisers, recognition ceremonies and more at its party barn venue.

Forrest Lucas, owner of Lucas Oil Company, had asked to use his property at 1143 W. 116th St., which includes the famous party barn that once belonged to the Irsay family, for charity events that benefit the community. But neighbors and city officials became concerned that the parties had become too frequent and too loud and were no longer exclusively charity fundraisers. A website for Lucas Estate advertises to interested parties that they can host their next event at the famous mansion.

“It appeared the nature of the property had changed from an occasional charity

event to a moneymaking operation,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “It’s a matter of a level playing field. Private businesses have to follow different rules, such as fire codes.”

Brainard said private citizens are allowed to host fundraisers and social functions, which could include a wedding, at one’s house. If event hosting becomes a business, he said in many cases the properties might need to go through a commercial rezone, which can mean paying higher property taxes and following the same rules other businesses follow, such as installing fire suppression sprinkler systems and maximum capacity limits set by the fire marshal.

In letters to the BZA, neighbors expressed concerns about noise and traffic. Chuck Lazzara, owner of the Ritz Charles event venue, raised concerns about a level playing field for a competing venue operating on residentially zoned property.

Lucas Estate, which did not return calls

for comment, said in its application that charity fundraisers are the main focus.

“The Lucas Estate is simply one of the many avenues for the Lucas Family to carry out their philanthropic initiatives,” the application reads. “The estate cannot be hired out by anyone simply by paying a certain fee. This is not a traditional, commercial banquet facility.”

Representatives from local charities defended Lucas Estate at the BZA meeting, saying that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised at events at the venue.

Three board members — Alan Potasnik, James Hawkins and Earlene Plavchak — voted against events at the party barn, but BZA member Leo Dierckman said he’d be OK with a limit of 26 per year. BZA member Tim Moehl said he’d be OK with only nonprofit charity events at the party barn.

Carmel Clay Schools led the passing percentage for grades 3 to 8 in the 2017 ISTEP+ scores released by the Indiana Dept. of Education Education last month. Overall, scores in the state remained stable for those grades while 10th grade scores slightly increased from last year.

The state average for passing in grades 3 to 8 was 51.5 percent, which CCS beat with 80.7 percent.

That is a minor improvement from last year’s 79.8 percent. However, grade 10 passing percentage decreased this year to 68.3 percent from 71 percent in 2016.

Amy Dudley, CCS assistant superintendent of curriculum, instruction and assessment, said CCS is proud of the students’ achievement, but added ISTEP is only one evaluation tool.

“ISTEP is just one indicator,” Dudley said. “We use multiple measures in our assessment approach that include formative assessments, interim assessments and summative assessments.”

Dudley said CCS uses the MAP Growth assessment through the Northwest Evaluation Association to measure student growth.

Veteran’s Colts ticket-burning video goes viral

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Rodney Heard didn’t know if many people would see his Facebook video he posted after some Indiaprotest napolis Colts players chose to kneel during the national anthem Sept. 24 prior to a home game. The former U.S. Marine and Realtor recorded himself burning his Colts season tickets because he said he was offended that some players were not honoring the nation and the American flag. There was one person he hoped would see the video.

“I really wanted (Colts owner) Jim Irsay to see it,” he said.

Little did he know that his video would be shared more than 3,500 times from his Facebook page and be viewed more than 157,000 times. And that’s just on his page alone. The story was picked up by many local news stations, then by national sports websites, then by national news sites. Soon, Heard was asked to be interviewed by Fox News.

“I didn’t expect this,” he said. “A big response. It’s been about 99 percent positive.

You’ve got a few internet trolls that try to start a fight, though.”

Heard said he’s been a Colts fan since

they moved to Indianapolis in 1984. He had season tickets for a few years in the 1990s.

He moved away but has been a season ticket holder for several years after moving back.

He said he’s making a sacrifice by burning the tickets he paid for, but he wanted to make a statement.

“I look forward to the regular season every year,” he said. “I love football, but it’s a matter of principle. I can’t have my dollars go to an organization that disrespects our country.”

Heard said he could have given the tickets to someone or sold them, but he wanted to make his “own sacrifice” to show his point.

“There’s a lot of people that fought and died for that flag, and to disrespect it yesterday like you did, I’m done,” Heard said in the video.

Heard said he believes people can speak their voice and protest, but not if it is disrespectful to veterans.

“I don’t agree with denying them their right to protest, but it shouldn’t be during the national anthem,” he said.

Heard said he appreciates the stance that the Dallas Cowboys took, which was to kneel before the anthem but then stand as the song was performed.

Have you thought about replacing that old sofa?

Where do you start? Who INTERIOR DESIGN can you trust? The options are endless! So what makes a quality sofa?

3 things: springs, frames and cushions. Quality sofas are handcrafted and each piece must be constructed from the best materials to guarantee it will be free from defects and last a lifetime.

SPRINGS: a heavy gauge steel spring system provide the base for a wonderfully comfortable and long-lasting seat and should be placed 4”-5” apart to withstand the wear and tear that comes from everyday use. What type of spring system does your sofa have?

CUSHIONS: cushion cores should be made with eco-friendly, high-resiliency foam and wrapped with a polyester fiber wrap for surface softness and shape. Down feather jackets are also available. Ask your designer how long is the cushion warranty?

FRAMES: constructed of furniture grade laminates and solid kiln-dried hardwoods must be built to last.

Mortise and tenon, double dowel and corner block construction should be added to provide solid long lasting joints. Ask your retailer does the frame have a lifetime warranty? How are the corners built?

So you’re ready to buy. Look for a store with degreed designers, free interior designer service and clear pricing. Be leary of retailers that offer 50% to 70% sales, you will often be over paying. Look for a retailer that is looking to help you get the right sofa at the best price every day.

Guests discussed what life was like in the ’40s during the World War II years with rationing, writing daily letters to servicemen and living without many basic necessities available today.

Scot and Dawn Pollard of Carmel are both victims of domestic abuse in previous relationships.

(Submitted photo)

Domestic violence may be a taboo subject in Hamilton County, so victims silently suffer throughout

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com He’s a big man with an even bigger personality.

But behind the inventive hairstyles and colorful interviews, former NBA power forward Scot Pollard was hiding a painful secret. For several years, he cover story was a victim of domestic violence.

“For me to come out and finally say – at my size, 7-feet, 300 pounds – I was physically abused in a former relationship, I would think that anybody could say, ‘Wow, if he can say that, it can happen to anyone,’” he said. “I’ve been to bars and people are scared to attack me because of my size, but I was hit, kicked, slapped, punched, had things thrown at me and things used to hit me in my sleep.”

Pollard, who lives near the Carmel/Zionsville border and played for the Indiana Pacers from 2003 to 2006, may seem an unlikely target, but stories like his are probably more common than most people realize. A 2013 study by the Avon Foundation for Women concludes that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse at some point in their lives.

Domestic violence is more than just physical assaults. It can include emotional, verbal, sexual and financial abuse, and it affects people of all races, incomes and education levels.

Noblesville-based Prevail, Hamilton County’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to serving victims of crime and abuse, served nearly 3,000 people in 2016, and nearly half the issues they addressed Ferguson involved domestic abuse. Males made up approximately 22 percent of people seeking services at Prevail last year.

GET HELP

If you or someone you know in Hamilton County is experiencing domestic violence, contact Prevail at 317-773-6942. The 24-hour crisis line is 317-116-3472.

Learn more at prevailinc.com. Contact the Domestic Violence Network at 317-872-1086 or visit its website at dvnconnect.org.

“I’m sure you know somebody who is a victim of domestic violence,” said Susan Ferguson, executive director of Prevail. “They may or may not have told you that yet, but you know someone.”

Financially rich, resource poor

Such was the case for Sarah Hutchinson, who was living in a five-bedroom Zionsville home when she met the man who is now her ex-husband. She described him as romantic and charismatic when they first met, and she didn’t worry when he invested the money from the sale of her house into his properties and combined their bank accounts, making her an “authorized-user” only – signs of potential financial abuse and a desire to control.

During the next few years, the relationship gradually eroded into one of verbal and physical abuse. She pretended everything was fine, wearing sweaters at the country club in June to cover her bruises. But when she began fearing for her life, Hutchinson left with her two special needs children and $20 in her pocket.

“I had always been that mom that was stuffing backpacks for children who couldn’t afford them, then all of a sudden I’m standing (in a shelter) with my children because I didn’t have access to my funds for 12 months,” she said.

Now a Westfield resident, Hutchinson, who received help from Prevail, frequently shares her story to let other victims know there is hope.

“If domestic violence is our dirty little secret, then the perpetrators can do whatever they want and get away with it,” she said.

Continued on Page 15

Although slightly more than half of Prevail’s clients in 2016 reported an income of less than $25,000 per year, Ferguson said victims from wealthy households are underrepresented and much less likely to seek support at Prevail or elsewhere, in part because less help is available.

“There’s fewer resources available for victims of domestic violence here (in Hamilton County),” Ferguson said.

Mary-Margaret Sweeney, director of community engagement at Indianapolisbased Domestic Violence Network, said low-income victims are often already connected to social services through public housing or the welfare system. For many Hamilton County residents who become victims of domestic violence, they might Sweeney not know where to turn.

“If you are that stereotypical Carmel housewife, you don’t have a case manager checking on you,” she said.

She also said some victims are discouraged from seeking help because of how it could affect their children if they must change schools Westfield – 13 percent or drop sports teams.

Carmel – 20 percent Pollard, 42, who lived in several affluent neighborhoods throughout the U.S. during his NBA career, said he’s known other wealthy victims who were afraid or unwilling to seek help.

“There’s that stigma of perfection people strive to attain in affluent communities, and that’s what keeps it quiet,” he said. “People think it doesn’t happen as Fishers – 21 percent much, but I’m betting it does.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Prevail has created the month-long Go Purple campaign to educate community members on how they can help. In addition to selling purple products to raise funds and spread awareness, Prevail is highlighting its Bystander Intervention program, which explains techniques for responding to various levels of witnessed abuse, and the 100 Men Campaign, which seeks to identify 100 men who will serve as role models and publicly take a stand against domestic abuse.

Sweeney said community members can assist in many ways, from being available for victims making a difficult transition to thinking about the issue in a new way.

For those experiencing domestic violence, Prevail and DVN aim to offer victims the help they need, whenever they need it. Leaving an abusive relationship can be emotionally challenging, but that’s also the point when domestic homicide goes up 75 percent, Sweeney said, so victims need to have a thorough plan and support system in place.

Pollard, who is now happily married to a woman who is also a survivor of domestic violence from a previous relationship, said his message to people suffering like he once did is to find a safe way to get out – no matter how hard it might be.

“If you ever want a chance at real happiness, you’ve got to suffer some short-term sadness,” he said. “That’s hard, but it’s short-term sadness that is going to lead to a lifetime where I don’t have to be in a relationship where I’m scared I might get killed or beat up. I sleep a lot better now.”

How to help

If you discover that someone you know is in an abusive relationship, there are several ways to help. For more, visit thehotline.org/ help/help-for-friends-and-family.

• Acknowledge that they are in a very difficult and scary situation, be supportive and listen • Be non-judgmental • If they end the relationship, continue to be supportive of them • Encourage them to participate in activities outside of the relationship with family and friends • Help them develop a safety plan • Encourage them to talk to people who can provide help and guidance • Remember that you cannot “rescue” them Source: The National Domestic Violence Hotline

justice for all For Scot Pollard, the decision to share his painful past is a search for justice – for himself and other men.

Not only is it extremely difficult for men to admit that they’ve been victims of domestic violence because of the male ego, he said, but the legal system doesn’t treat them the same way it treats women who have suffered abuse.

“If I had done what was done to me, I’d have done serious jail time, and rightfully so,” he said.

Pollard said he called the police twice to report being physically abused. One incident led to his alleged abuser spending two nights in jail, although Pollard ended up dropping the charges. The second time, when he finally decided to end the relationship, he was the one who left the home, not his ex. They have joint custody of their three children, and that’s strained his relationship with his kids, he said, and forced him to remain in Hamilton County.

Pollard admits that his former relationship was fraught with problems. In speaking out about the domestic abuse, he said he also wants to come clean about his infidelity – with former neighbors and others – that contributed to the issues. He met his current wife, Dawn, when he was cheating on his ex, and he believes infidelity is another issue that is all too often swept under the rug in affluent communities.

But neither unfaithfulness nor any other problems give anyone the right to physically harm their partner, Scot Pollard said.

“There are issues in every relationship that can give somebody an excuse to behave a certain way. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms,” he said. “It’s never OK to be violent. It’s just not.”

No Starbucks for parenting

o b s e r v a tion

Better living

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Although we all interact with it in almost every aspect of our lives, we rarely stop to take it in. Even if we catch a breath and look around, do we really see what’s there – and perhaps, more importantly, what’s intentionally not there? We could call it the built world. The buildings, landscapes, homes, roadways and all things formed by human hand. As we blithely move from one space to the next, we seldom imagine the intent of those behind the design. Was theirs an entirely practical effort? Or, did they choose the aesthetic? Did they mean to move us to some sort of feeling? Or, did they simply hope to move us from our car to their cash register with minimal effort?

Ours is a blended home. Child, parent and grandparent all share a single space.

Yet each finds his or her own retreat. Sight lines, noise and foot traffic were all considered in its plan. Most wouldn’t notice, yet the effect is surprising. At the office, we blend various functions and personalities into a cohesive and engaging edifice.

We spend a lot of time within the confines of where we toil. Why shouldn’t it be as thoughtfully considered as where we sleep?

Can’t we prepare a place that is simultaneously serviceable and good for the spirit?

Let’s call it better living through architecture. Our surroundings can calm, lift and inspire. Just as quickly, they can irritate, unsettle and provoke. Can a color of paint raise income or lower stress? Perhaps. But ask if a properly arranged environment can increase productivity and satisfaction.

Do we love where we spend our time?

Does it encourage us to be happy? If not, maybe, we should fix it.

READER ’ S V I EW Taking a knee: let’s talk church Editor, In light of the presidential condemnation of NFL players spotlighting racial injustice, I felt it important to suggest we take a moment (no matter your political affiliation) to ensure we do not draw simple conclusions as to the players’ motives without first considering the context. I’d like to do so by making a rather unorthodox comparison: the church.

For those confused by the notion that anyone might feel anything but immense pride and affinity for a symbol as bold as the U.S. flag, consider what you feel when you see other unmistakable symbols. The cross, for instance: The universal symbol for Christianity.

For those who’ve had radical life transformations in a place of worship or grown up nostalgically clinging to the old hymns and traditions, the cross most likely creates a good feeling. One they might hope to share with others, wear around their neck, or even tattoo on their body.

Now consider that the same symbol does not mean the same for their friend.

Consider that that person was one of thousands worldwide who were victims of sexual abuse by those in authority/

power in the church. Consider that while they stood in church next to you, that person felt disgust, fear, powerlessness and anger because they had seen a side of that symbol that you’d never experienced.

I can imagine that that person would not only become disenfranchised with the symbol of the cross and all that comes with it, but that they might also want to bring these issues to light so that, once revealed, discussed and corrected, others might not suffer the same fate. Some might say they’d want justice.

I imagine that I, as a friend and Christian, would want the same for them and would fight to ensure they see.

I tend to have the utmost respect for people and organizations who recognize their flaws, work to correct them and ensure they are continually meeting the needs of the citizens they’re in place to serve. When people talk of improving or reforming the current law enforcement status quo, it’s as if the notion itself is sacrilege. Surely, if the church itself is not above reproach, neither is our policing system.

Libby Hogan, Carmel

I had a breakthrough in therapy! And by therapy, I mean margaritas with my sisters-in-law. We figured out humor the reason we all prefer to be at work rather than home: We know we’re good at our jobs, but we’re not so sure about this parenting thing.

Case in point, me. I arrive at school at least an hour ahead of time, and if I didn’t have to drive a kid to dance, guard, work, fishing club or violin, I’d probably stay for an hour after. I keep a colorful but organized classroom, am knowledgeable in my content area and on occasion receive Starbucks for my successes. I truly love teaching.

But when I swap that hat for my mom hat, all confidence goes out the window.

Have I been poisoning my children with hormone-laced milk and Kraft preservatives? Am I creating socially inept teenagers by allowing constant access to their Samsungs? Why do I feel so guilty grounding a son for his grades? How did he even get to that point? What if my college freshman starts shooting meth? These are the anxieties that plague me from the moment I walk into my house. It’s exhausting. Add in the physical state of said house, which currently includes an infestation of fruit flies, and you begin to understand my feelings of maternal ineptitude.

Mothers get no accolades, no pats on the back and rarely thank-you gifts of coffee.

And the worst part is, children suck at providing feedback, so we won’t know if we did a good job until it’s too late. This is why I prefer work. And lots of therapy.

Peace out.

READERS ’ V I EWS Kids at risk when drivers speed Mayor Brainard, I’m concerned about the speed on my street. People are going faster than 20 mph on Carmel View Drive, which is where I live.

All of the construction on 4th Street has made it worse.

For a solution we could make a bigger print speed limit sign so people could see it better when coming to the street, or if not we could get a “children at play� sign or even paint it

on the street. Another suggestion is that we put flashing lights at the intersection.

We have had people drive into our yard and hit our mailbox because they were going too fast. That’s why my mom and grandparents are worried for me, people who walk to and from school and the other few children on this street.

Lyric Meyer, third-grade student at Carmel Elementary School

Pedestrian bridge needed at Monon Editor, With some of the proposed $101 million in debt up for consideration, may I recommend a safety improvement for the Monon Trail at its intersection with Smokey Row. I would suggest moving the pathway to an elevated status as was done at 146th Street.

As someone who drives this area frequently, I am in constant fear of and for the many users of the Monon Trail who disregard the trail instructions and just proceed

out into the cross street with little attention to automobile traffic. There is very apparent confusion regarding who truly has the right-of-way at this intersection.

An elevated trail over Smokey Row would certainly give motorists better peace of mind and improve the flow of traffic during busy times. It would be my suggestion that this be given priority and consideration before a tragic accident might occur.

I’m a liar. A no-good, rotten liar. This became obvious to me when I wrote a column about vacationing in Banff, humor Canada (that location was accurate). I related how I sent my digital camera through the security scanner (totally factual). And how it was stolen when I left it behind in the tray (correct, again).

I had the best intentions of simply writing about how careless I am with my things. Basically, what a loser I am. But when I got back from the trip I ran into my neighbor, George.

“How was your trip, Dick?” he asked.

“Oh, it was fantastic—except my camera was stolen.”

“What a shame. And with all your photos, huh?”

“It’s OK—the thief emailed me the pictures.”

I don’t know where that crazy idea came from. It just slid out of my mouth. It wasn’t an exaggeration, it was a bold-faced fabrication. With that, George got hysterical.

And I’m so addicted to hearing the sound of people laughing at stuff I say and do, I left

it at that.

When I sat down that night to write my weekly column, I actually started to believe the whole thing myself. If you repeat something enough times, you start thinking it’s true. Just ask any politician.

In my column, I even included a bogus email from the thief who supposedly stole my camera. I had already entered the dark side—why not get a few additional laughs in the process?

After the column was published, I received this email: Dear Dick, Witty as always. We love the honesty in your writing.

The guilt is killing me. I just hope the person who stole my camera reads this column and has the decency to actually email me my pictures. I don’t care about the stupid photos; I just want to be an honest man again.

Day of service benefits park

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com IU Health North and IU Health Saxony hospitals collaborated to bring the annual day of service event to cool creek Cool Creek Park Sept. 15.

IU Health began the day of service initiative nine years ago with the goal of sharing the hospital’s mission with the community.

“One of the primary goals that we want to do to improve the health status of Indiana is to encourage physical activity, especially in a family-oriented environment like Hamilton County Parks,” said Michael Harlow, president of IU Health Tipton and Saxony hospitals.

Harlow said 150 associates from various IU Health locations volunteered during the event. They worked with Hamilton County Parks to create a new nature play area with a wheelchair-accessible trail. The development was previously a wooded area but has been turned into a playground made of all natural materials, or elements.

“We’re calling these ‘elements’ because it’s comprised of natural resources that have been repurposed as a function of nor-

mal, ongoing land maintenance,” said Don Nichols, resource development specialist for Hamilton County Parks. “We didn’t have to cut down any trees for this. We didn’t harm any plants or anything.”

The nature play area will not include the typical climbing set, swings or slide.

Instead, it will include a balance beam obstacle course made of logs and boulders.

There also will be a pyramid to climb, a tractor to drive and a table and chairs, all of which are made from logs.

Creative construction responses

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com When the City of Carmel announced that there would be an extended road closure at Range Line Road and 4th range line Street South, the owner of Blu Moon Cafe knew she had to do something.

When there was previous construction on the roundabout at City Center Drive and Range Line Road, it affected business at the locally owned bakery and lunch spot at 200 S. Range Line Rd. So this time she decided to be proactive.

Every week she’s created a different special to attract customers.

“We appreciate every customer who takes the extra two or three minutes to get to us,” owner Shelley Jordan said.

Blu Moon has offered a variety of deals such as free coffee with an order, a free cookie with a lunch order or free delivery — something they didn’t offer at all before — for any order more than $25.

The road closure is to help create an entryway into the Midtown area, which is in development along the Monon Trail between Main Street and Carmel City Center.

It will include a new east-west road and a

Blu Moon isn’t the only one adapting.

Integrity Automotive at 40 S Range Line Rd., has been offering a $25 discount on scheduled maintenance packages. They’ve been sending their customers maps to avoid the road closure, and customers are still finding their way to the shop.

“Our customers are taking it in stride, usually joking that they had a difficult time finding a way to get here,” said Ed Shaughnessy, who handles marketing for Integrity.

“We seem to be doing well despite the changing traffic patterns.”

Rad’s replaces Café Patachou

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com A new restaurant is now open in the former Café Patachou site that aims to provide great food, coffee and the now open same stellar service residents came to expect of its former occupant.

“I’m not trying to reinvent it too much.

I think the neighborhood still needs a great little café, and that was my motivation in purchasing the spot,” owner Josh Hall said. “Our goal is to take it to the next level in quality, service and kid-friendly environment.”

Rad’s, at 4733 E. 126th St., is named for Hall’s wife’s grandfather.

“We lost him last year and are honoring him by naming the restaurant after him. He was a World War II vet and an all-around great guy,” Hall said. “We will have a meet Rad section in the restaurant with some World War II collectibles.”

Hall, a native Hooiser, is a graduate of the culinary arts program at Harrison College and spent the last 10 years as executive chef split between, most recently, Marriott North at Keystone Crossing and Peterson’s.

“I have a love for good, local and fresh food,” Hall said. “Everything will be scratchmade in-house. Classic breakfast and sandwiches with a chef’s twist.”

Rad’s menu is small but diverse. It in-

cludes traditional breakfast fare such as biscuits and gravy with pork, turkey and veggie gravy options, omelets and oatmeal.

“My plan is to let my customers influence the menu and evolve it through great specials,” Hall said. “I have been known for great soups my entire career, and that won’t change here.”

Rad’s will seat 40 inside with a patio for an additional 24 guests. Hall said response from the neighborhood has been positive.

“It seems that everyone is very excited for our opening,” he said. “My goal at Rad’s is first to have fun. We want to enjoy being a part of this amazing community.”

Hall wants to open other Rad’s locations down the road, but his goals at this point are simple: “Succeed here and worry about the rest later.”

Parisian Flea Market coming to Clay Terrace

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Inspired by the eclectic shopping experience in France, the Parisian Flea Market at the south end of Clay fundraiser Terrace aims to offer unique finds for shoppers as their purchases benefit the Fair Haven Foundation. The market will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 6-7 behind Old National Bank.

“What we decided to do is something that would give community awareness of Fair Haven and reach a lot of people but also have this great sale,” said Diann Luebker, chair of the Parisian Flea Market.

All proceeds benefit Fair Haven and its mission to share the love of Christ by providing hospitality and support to thousands of seriously ill patients and their families,

primarily from the Midwest who travel to Indianapolis for advanced medical care. Fair Haven aims to lift a burden for these families by providing a home away from home.

Fair Haven spends a year collecting and donating items to be sold at the market.

“What we receive tends to be from a lot of people who are downsizing,” Luebker said. “People will be astonished at what we have. It’s high-end merchandise.”

Items include mirrors, sideboards, sofas and dining room tables and chairs.

“It’s not an auction. They’re really great prices. It’s all unique, one-of-a-kind items,” Luebker said.

The cost to attend is $5 per person at the door. Children 16 and under are admitted free. Tickets can be purchased in advance at fairhavenfoundation.com.

Hymes ready to launch new era for CSO as first female conductor

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

When Janna Hymes first started interviewing to become a music director of symphony orchestras, it was rare.

“There just weren’t a lot of women doing it, and it was always a novelty,” Hymes said. “Every time I interviewed it would come up and it was the focus. Now, there are so many young conductors coming out of schools. There are workshops for female conductors, and I’m teaching one in New York. It’s really amazing that a lot of women now are making this their career and are very successful. It’s still a very, very small amount of women compared to the guys. There is still a glass ceiling there.”

Hymes was named the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s first female music director and seventh overall in its 42-year history in May following a national search. She was one of three who served as guest conductors during the selection process.

She will make her debut with CSO when it presents the Clay Township Orchestral Showcase at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at The Palladium in Carmel.

The New York City native, who lives in Maine, conducts the Williamsburg (Va.) Symphony and the Maine Pro Musica Orchestra, which she founded in 2008. But CSO is her priority.

“This is a very exciting time for me, personally,” Hymes said.

“I can’t wait to work with the orchestra again. What we did over the summer is really put some finishing touches on some programming.”

Hymes, who concluded a three-year stint as the Indianapolis

Symphony Orchestra associate conductor in 2000, said she has been working on fundraising events and looking at CSO’s future.

“I’ve been listening to board members talk about the history and talking about where we might go in the future,” Hymes said. “A lot of it is a learning curve for me.”

One change Hymes made after taking over is adjusting the February 2018 program.

Janna Hymes was named the “I wasn’t sure the pieces Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s really meshed well together,” first female music director.

Hymes said. “The music of (Submitted photo) (Aaron) Copland’s ‘Billy the Kid’ was on it, and I felt that’s a very visual piece. It’s a ballet. When I was studying the music this summer to perform it, I felt it was hard to stand alone without the visual in your head. So we changed the program around to play Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2, the ‘Romantic,’ which is perfect because it’s four days before Valentine’s Day.” Another change is that Hymes will conduct the Holiday concert Dec. 9, which wasn’t originally the plan.

“I’m really excited because we have two of the singers who took part in and won the Songbook Academy Youth Ambassador competition, Julia Bonnet and Lucas DeBard,” she said. “I’m really excited to collaborate with them and be more related to the Great American Songbook.”

The only CSO concert Hymes will not conduct is April 14, 2018, because of a prior commitment. Charles Prince will serve as guest conductor.

Hymes, who has two grown sons, said she will have complete involvement in the 2018-19 schedule.

Civic Theatre to present ‘Annie’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com

Comedian W.C. Fields is credited with the line, “Never work with children and animals.” Anne Nicole performance Beck begs to differ.

As director of the musical “Annie,” she is working with both — a talented young actress named Mary Kate Tansell and another half-dozen school kids, and a curly-haired mutt named Tori. Mary Kate, an eighth-grader at Sycamore School, portrays Annie, and Tori, a foster dog from the Humane Society of Indianapolis, plays her dog Sandy, in the Tony Award-winning musical which opens Civic Theater’s 103rd season Oct. 12 at The Tarkington in Carmel.

A fundraiser will be held Oct. 12 prior to a 7 p.m. sneak preview performance.

“I actually love working with children, especially the ones in this cast,” said Beck, who also is choreographing the musical. “They are so extraordinary and have worked so hard taking on challenges and striving to get acting and singing and dancing moments all in synch. And Mary Kate is a director’s dream. She handles everything with professionalism and ease.

FA L L

“Plus, I am a dog lover, so even though a canine actor may not be as consistent as a human, having the love and warmth and pure sweetness of a beautiful animal around has been incredible. The whole cast lights up when our Sandy is around.”

Based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip “Little Orphan Annie,” the Broadway musical focuses on a spunky, optimistic 11-year-old orphan who is looking for her birth parents.

“Annie” runs at the Booth Tarkington through Oct. 28. For tickets, visit civictheatre.org.

Pizza at a tailgate, why not?

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Using the most recent estimates from the American Community Survey and Dunn and Bradstreet, we’ve discovered the most popular food in every state. The food type with the highest density per 100,000 people is considered the most popular. Pizza is the fan-favorite in all states that our column is published (Oklahoma to Ohio).

So why can’t we make pizza at our tailgate parties? Besides a grill with a lid, the only equipment you’ll need is a pizza stone and a peel.

Tailgate Pizza Ingredients: • 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour • 1 package dry active yeast • 1/2 cup olive oil • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 teaspoon sea salt • 1 3/4 lbs. whole milk (not skimmed) mozzarella cheese • 1 jar favorite pizza sauce • 1/2 onion chopped • 1 green pepper chopped • 1 can ripe olives sliced in half • 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage ground and well browned • Ground Oregano and Basil to spice Preparation: before - Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water. In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, salt and sugar; then add the yeast water mixture and the oil. With your hands, knead flour and liquid mixture into springy dough. Knead the dough at least 5 minutes and as much as 15 if you have the strength.

Then place a bit of oil in the mixing bowl make the dough into a ball. Cover bowl with clear wrap and refrigerate 24-48 hours.

Game day morning - Take the dough out and let it sit for 1 hour at room temperature.

Then cut the ball into four pieces and roll each into a small ball and let them sit under a clean dish towel while you prep things for your trip to the game. Lastly, pack the dough balls with a 1-inch separation into a container for your trip to the game.

Pizza can be a fan-favorite at tailgates.

(Submitted photos)

At the Tailgate - Heat your grill at least 30 minutes until the temperature of the stone is 450-500 degrees. Flour a cutting board and place a dough ball on it. Spread the dough out into a circle. You can use a rolling pin or air-toss, if you want. Place some corn meal on the peel and then the dough circle on top. Spread evenly 2 tablespoons of sauce on the dough and then slices of your cheese to cover the dough. Add a little of the sausage and a small amount of the other toppings of your choice. You’ll add more as the pie is cooking on the stone. Make sure the dough slides on the corn meal so it is easy to transfer to the stone for cooking.

Slide the dough onto the stone and close the lid to keep the heat in. After 1 minute, quickly add more sausage and other toppings. Also, place dollops of sauce in key areas of your pie. It’s safer to add more toppings when the pie crust is firming up on the stone. The pie will be ready to remove to the cutting board in 5 to 10 minutes. Just check the crust before removing it. Serves 4 to 6 people.

Fall can be a good time for projects Commentary by Randy Sorrell How late in the year can outdoor living spaces be installed? Is it too late?

The weather outdoor living plays a critical role, but we are often installing patios into mid-December. Generally, we will stop planting perennials and grasses in early November and will plant trees and shrubs until the ground freezes in early December.

Are there any advantages to installing patios and landscapes now instead of spring? Can’t imagine that we will use it much over the winter.

Fall is a much happier time for landscapes to be installed. The watering responsibility is considerably easier than when planted in the spring, and fall-planted items are healed in much more confidently to handle the usual summer droughts. As you can imagine, spring is often a frenzy, so the attention clients receive is often heightened in the fall. Or, at least get the project scheduled now for very early spring.

Any price benefits to fall installations?

Yes. Most of our suppliers, growers and

vendors pass on their usual price increases very early spring.

Do you have clients who use their fire features and grill stations in the winter?

Absolutely. Most get a thrill out of it!

With our moderate winters of late, it’s easy to imagine grilling or hanging by the fire feature on many sunny days or 30-degree evenings!

Thrill us with the featured project details!

This beauty was immediately livable (had the same conversation earlier today).

Most take a few years to “feel” warm and mature. Material selection helps, as does the plant pallet and a pergola or grill station. I really appreciate the limestone caps and rock-face steps as well as the modern/ linear feel to the space.

Thinking about an outdoor living space yet this year?

St. Augustine: America’s oldest settlement Commentary by Don Knebel St. Augustine, Florida, founded in 1565, claims to be the oldest continuously inhabited travel settlement in the United States. It is not. That honor goes to a settlement in New Mexico that is 200 years older.

In approximately 1300 A.D., an indigenous people called the Ancestral Puebloans began moving south from what is now the Four Corners region of the United States, perhaps because of a major drought. Following the Rio Grande River, some of them settled just north of what is now Taos, New Mexico, in sight of the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Beginning in about 1350, they built multi-story adobe buildings called pueblos on both sides of a creek. Each pueblo, a Spanish term for village, contained dozens of individual apartments, with the upper levels reached by ladders. In 1541, soldiers under Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, looking for the fabled seven golden cities of Cibola, reported finding the Taos pueblos but no gold. In 1680, the

Taos pueblos were at the center of a sophisticated revolt, including nearby pueblos, that temporarily drove the Spanish from New Mexico. In 1847, residents of the Taos pueblos again revolted, this time against the United States. The rebellion was unsuccessful and the rebels were hung in the plaza.

Today, the Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing both original pueblos, lies within a 95,000acre reservation that is home to approximately 4,500 people, who speak English in addition to their native Tiwa language. Approximately 150 residents continue to live in the ancient

pueblos. A few of the apartments, now accessible by stairs, are used as shops by their owners, some of whom are willing to show visitors through their apartments and talk about their history and culture. As we prepare to celebrate Columbus Day, it is useful to remember the Taos Pueblo.

Dreamers often lie Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Sure, it’s easy to distinguish lace from lice and lake from like, but what’s the difference between lay grammar guy and lie? When I say “lie” in this article, I’m not referring to the act that causes Pinocchio’s nose to grow; I’m talking about when someone reclines.

The quick answer to this confusing conundrum is this: lay requires a direct object while lie does not. You lie down in the fetal position sucking your thumb when you’re super-stressed watching a Colts game. You lay down a brass unicorn paperweight on important papers so your office’s industrial-strength air conditioner doesn’t whoosh them away and risk paper-cutting your entire department.

Allow me to lay down a few examples: King Lear lays his lyre down on the linoleum landing of his lopsided lake lair. In this case, “lyre” is the direct object, so lay is correct.

Lance lies lazily in his limo, lunching on Lay’s and listening to Lyle Lovett’s lavish lyrics. Lance lies down on his own, while Lear lays the direct object (his lyre) down.

Now it gets complicated; the past tense of lie is lay, while the past tense of lay is laid. So, you could correctly say: John Lennon lay down on the floor while he laid down the lead vocal track to “Revolution 1.”

The English language strikes again.

While on vacation in Hawaii, Linus laid a lei on Elaine while she lay on the beach.

You can lie about laying down your laser while you lie on the loveseat in your lounge.

It’s a wonder anyone learns to speak English as a second language. We often assume and expect others to possess a mastery of the English language while its rules are ridiculously complicated.

To take a “Hamilton” quote out of context, sometimes I feel English is “such a blunder, sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.” Yet our language’s seemingly contradictory rules awaken our inner-word nerds and cause us to lie in bed while we dream about the truth.
