Residents echo 5G concerns

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Several Carmel residents spoke in opposition to the continued rollout of small cell towCELL TOWERS ers to support 5G technology, echoing concerns raised by the Carmel Cable and Telecommunication Commission at the Oct. 7 city council meeting.

Winston Long, chairman of the commission, presented the findings of a task force he assembled to study the issue. He asked the city to halt installation of the small cell towers until the health effects of 5G technology can be further analyzed. He cited a 2018 National Toxicology Program study that found “clear evidence” of tumors in the hearts of male rats exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiation used in 2G and 3G phones. He is concerned that 5G technology – which wasn’t part of the study – could be even more dangerous.

Other Carmel residents cited the same study and voiced similar concerns.

“The exposure has been involuntary, and additionally there has been no way to get more information to object or consent to the installation of a small cell, which raises great concern, espe-

cially if one of these towers is placed in a yard or easement where children routinely play,” said Megan Leivant, a physician who lives in Carmel.

Carl Butler, an attorney who has lived in Carmel for 15 years, said he found it disturbing that homeowners are not required to be notified when a small cell tower is being installed nearby.

“Carmel residents are left with little ability to understand what these structures are or what they do,” he said. “They have no effective administrative process by which to submit inquiries, file complaints or otherwise seek recourse.”

Long encouraged the city to join a class action lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission, which manages federal laws regarding small cell towers.

Small cell towers may be installed in Carmel with approval from the Board of Public Works. As of mid-June, small cell towers had been installed near Ditch Road and Ridgegate Lane and 96th Street near Cloister Drive East and West to improve existing networks, but 5G service was not available. Current has requested but not received updated information from the city.

The council did not take action on the matter.

Cooper resigns from City Hall

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Earlier this month, Hughie Cooper, a wellknown figure at Carmel City Hall, resigned.

Cooper, who will be 85 RETIREMENT in November, has lived in Carmel since 1968 and has worked as the building’s evening custodian for the past 15 years.

“Hughie just felt that he had a good run with the city. He had been debating on resigning for a few years, and he felt that it was his time and decided to resign,” said Clayton Bell, facilities manager in the city’s administrative department. “He had given up the farmers market earlier in the year, which he worked at part time.”

Cooper retired at age 66 from a career as a tool and die maker but previously told Current in Carmel he became bored, leading to his most recent janitorial job, where he emptied trash, cleaned restrooms and vacuumed, among other tasks.

“He gave us 15 years of great service,” Bell said. “At 85 years old, he still showed up every single day as a great employee, never missed a day of work. He was just a great contributor to have in the city, but I

think he just felt that it was his time.”

In pre-civilian life, Cooper was a paratrooper in the U.S. Army.

Cooper was born and raised in Virginia, where his father worked in a coal mine before moving to Noblesville when Firestone began recruiting employees following the Korean War. He graduated from Sheridan High School in 1953 before attending Army jump school in North Carolina. He was later stationed in Germany.

“I’m going to be 85 years old in November, and I’m going to give it up.” Cooper said.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident Kent Abernathy announced Oct. 7 that he will run for Congress.

Abernathy, an Army 5TH DISTRICT veteran and former Bureau of Motor Vehicles commissioner, is running as a Republican for the 5th District seat to be vacated

by U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks at the end of her term.

“We need leaders in Washington willing to make Abernathy the tough decisions to defend the constitution, to pay down our debt, to honor our veterans, and to support our military,” Abernathy tweeted after announcing his campaign.

Other Republicans in the race are Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, Noblesville pastor Micah Beckwith, fund accountant Danny Niederberger and pediatric doctor Chuck Dietzen.

Abernathy grew up in Redkey, Ind., a tiny town about 20 miles northeast of Muncie. He attended West Point and became an officer in the U.S. Army, serving at Fort Knox, Ky.,

In 2003, Abernathy returned to the military, serving in leadership at the Pentagon as chief of staff of the Iraq Assistance Group in Baghdad and as the interim director of the U.S. Central Command Washington Liaison Office.

Quakenbush attends national Boundaries are meant to benext challenged. law enforcement event Built forBuilt your adventure. for your next adventure.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush’s top priority is keeping county residents safe.

That means stopping the flow of drugs.

“With the recent PUBLIC SAFETY epidemic with heroin and fentanyl and crime and death that we see in our community, it’s something I see is us to continue to address at every front,” Quakebush said.

“If we’ve got a significant supply coming into our community, we want to address it as best we can. They are mixing the fentanyl with the heroin to get a better high and it can cause cardiac arrest and death.

The majority of drugs that come into Hamilton County are coming across the Mexican border. We estimate 80 percent of it is.

“Our drug task force, for instance, when they are working cases, they are working directly with border patrol. We are arresting people from the cartels in Indianapolis and they are sending new people back to replace them almost immediately.”

Quakenbush recently joined five other Indiana sheriffs and nearly 200 sheriffs from across the nation in Washington, D.C., to support secure borders and safe communities.

During the Sept. 25-26 event, Quakenbush met with many state and federal legislators and federal law enforcement agencies, attended an administrative briefing and panel discussions with the Dept. of Justice and the Dept. of Homeland security and attended a White House briefing followed by meeting with President Donald Trump.

“I’m encouraged by the federal law enforcement agencies and their willingness to

The Indiana contingent met with Indiana Sens. Todd Young and Mike Braun.

Quakenbush said the group also met with legislators to discuss the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to states and localities for costs incurred for incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens.

Quakenbush said the problem of human trafficking was another main topic.

“Some of the statistics they provided in the briefing were just incredible, something like at least 30 percent of girls are raped traveling to the United States,” he said. “The border patrol agents and even some making traffic stops in Oklahoma are making stops where cartels are driving across the border where no one in the car knows anyone else.

GREEN & GOLD GALA BENEFITS MIDWEST ACADEMY

By Emma Uber news@currentincarmel.com AVID has been a part of Carmel High School for a decade. In recent years, it has taken root at Carmel EDUCATION middle schools for seventh- and eighth-graders.

Carmel Clay Schools recently began offering a nine-week sampling of the program for sixth-graders.

AVID, or advancement via individual determination, focuses on developing strong study habits, contributing to the community and developing skills that prepare students for higher education and life beyond school.

“Students may be nominated by a staff member to take part in the program, or with the encouragement of a parent may decide the program would be beneficial to them in middle school,” said Catherine Gahl, Clay Middle School AVID teacher. “After applying, the student is interviewed by a team of teachers, counselors and administrators to determine if the student is motivated and a good fit for the program.”

Clay Middle School’s AVID chapter recently completed community service projects.

“Students went grocery shopping for

families in need partnering with the Sam’s Wish Foundation, visited nursing home residents and delivered goodies to our fire departments,” Gahl said. “While performing community service, students have the opportunity to see, firsthand, the difference they can make by helping others.”

Clay Middle School recently celebrated College Go Week, an AVID initiative.

“Trip the bulldog (from Butler University) and Charlie Cardinal (from Ball State University) visiting students at Clay were among the activities that the AVID team included for students,” Gahl said. “The week was dedicated to activities to help students learn about college.”

The event featured dozens of silent auction items for guests to bid on.

Midwest Academy held its 11th annual Green & Gold Gala Sept. 27 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. The semi-formal event included dinner, an open bar and silent and live auctions. Proceeds provide tuition assistance to families.

For the current school year, teachers will receive a 4 percent raise plus increment, and in the 2020-21 school year they will get a 2 percent raise plus increment. They also will see a 50 percent increase in life insurance coverage and a new leave for foster parents.

“The Carmel Teachers’ Association is thrilled for the teachers and students of Carmel Clay Schools,” CTA President Pete O’Hara stated in a press release. “We cannot express enough how much we appreciate the board and administration of Carmel Clay Schools for their cooperative effort to resolve this contract quickly and in the best interests of all involved. This is a great contract for our entire community.”

CCS Supt. Michael Beresford said both sides took a transparent and collaborative approach in reaching the agreement.

“School budgets are difficult to balance, and the teams focused on creating a fair and responsible contract,” he stated in a press release. “While teacher pay in Indiana has not kept up with the cost of living, this agreement represents the highest raise CCS teachers have received in over ten years.

We will continue to invest in our team and keep CCS competitive with surrounding districts.”

The agreement is funded through the state and a referendum approved by Carmel voters. It’s also made possible through the state covering a portion of retirement funds, freeing up school districts to allocate more dollars for teachers.

Meet Aaron Schutt Commentary by Shelly Gattlieb Aaron Schutt has a good reason for not believing in ghosts. Because he grew up with a mortician for a CHARACTERS father, he’s convinced OF CARMEL that if ghosts exist, either he or his father would have witnessed at least one haunting experience. Both parents still live in his hometown of Greensburg, where Schutt was active in high school basketball, football and golf. He also raced gokarts and sprint cars before attending Ball State Universtiy.

As a global support agent for Salesforce, most Schutt of Schutt’s time during the weekdays is spent on the Salesforce marketing analytics platform. Although the position requires working behind the scenes, his personal life is the complete opposite. He loves meeting new people and is an organizer for the local meetup group “Random Places, Random Things,” which has more than 7,000 members. He frequently plays host to bar crawls, movie nights and dinners at northside restaurants and also is pursuing a career as a stand-up comedian.

The values of a job well-done Commentary by Lorene Burkhart

I recently attended a women’s conference that focused on gender bias, diversity in the workplace and how values are important in your job.

It reminded me that PLAIN TALK although the number of women in the workplace has dramatically increased since I entered the corporate world in the mid-1970s, the need continues for women to remind each other and the world about gender bias.

As I scanned the crowd of several hundred women (and a few men), I was struck by the casual attire. Since then I’ve asked several upper-management women about the appearance of the women in their environment. They agreed that there seems to be a lack of concern about professional appearance, yet how you present yourself is very important if you want to move up.

Discussions focused on how your values are reflected in your work life. It caused

me to reflect on workshops I attended and sometimes led 30 years ago on what women needed to do to succeed in their job. A professional attitude and appearance were stressed.

In a recent New York Times article on “The Office: An Analysis,” the author speculated that GenZ-ers and millennials are looking differently at work and demanding more flexibility in when, where and how.

My 30-year-old granddaughter has just completed training to perform her boss’s job while she is on a six-month maternity leave. She will have 200 people reporting to her, most of them older than she is. Yes, we have had many conversations on being professional and maintaining her values as well as a balanced life.

It’s training cats and dogs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Dog’s best friend has died. Indianapolis veterinarian Dr. Gary Sampson, for almost 20 years, helped pet owners all PETS across the tri-state area deal with miscreant dogs and cats that frustrated, baffled and even terrorized their owners. Veterinarians who were either stumped by a particular problem or hadn’t the time to deal with it referred to Sampson.

Sampson never met a dog he didn’t like.

Truth is he seldom even met most of the animals he treated. His business model was based on a detailed questionnaire filled out by the owner, followed by a lengthy phone conversation. His philosophy was simple: If your dog is doing bad things, you have to change your behavior. Put simply, the human was his patient.

A veterinary researcher at Eli Lilly for many years, Sampson devoted his second career to pet behavior beginning in 1991. I also made a career change in 1990, going to work as a morning feature reporter for Channel 8.

Just months into my new job, a little beagle puppy was found on my doorstep in the dead of winter. At Mary Ellen’s insistence, I took him to work with me. He was too destructive to leave unattended at home.

Barney became an instant celebrity, televised on locations with me. Viewers fell in love with the pooch because of his inquisitive, renegade nature. There wasn’t a morning where he wasn’t in some serious trouble, either digging, howling, chewing or running away.

Sampson had been watching these early morning antics and felt compelled to contact me and offer his professional guidance.

Of course, getting Barney to behave was the last thing I wanted. The hound’s popularity was based on mischievousness.

After administering a few disciplinary

(Screenshot)

lessons to Barney, Sampson agreed (reluctantly) to do a live broadcast from my front porch at 5 a.m. one day to outline the progress Barney had made. Remember, Barney’s reprobate behavior was crucial to my success on TV. But I needn’t have worried.

Sampson began a detailed analysis of how digging instincts can be curtailed in canines, but he was soon interrupted by the constant cascading of dirt as Barney dug up all three rosebushes adjacent to our front steps. Our second half of the segment was to be about relentless chewing, but we never got to it because during a commercial break, Barney managed to gnaw his way through the microphone cord.

Sampson and I soon decided that the doctor’s files — which contained thousands of cases that he actually did solve —would make a great book or two. Of course, we changed the names of the dogs to protect the guilty.

Breast cancer diagnosis, treatments don’t stop Carmel runner

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

Kim Heger of Carmel was among hundreds of runners who participated in the Indy Women’s Half COVER STORY Marathon and 5K in late September.

After the race, she stepped to the podium to accept an award – not for her speed, but for perseverance in battling breast cancer and desire to help other women. Heger and blogger Ashleigh Freda received the Indy Women’s Trailblazer Award, which honors women who strive to make a difference, inspire others to succeed, support women and encourage healthy living.

Last year, Heger and her daughter were training to run in the Indy Women’s Half Marathon when Heger’s routine mammogram came back abnormal. Although she was a marathon runner in good health with no family history of breast cancer, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and began treatment immediately.

“I would have never known about this if I hadn’t gotten a mammogram,” Heger said. “It’s so important to do self-exams and get mammograms. Breast cancer is so prevalent. One in eight women will be diagnosed. This disease does not discriminate.

You could be healthy, old, young, it doesn’t matter.”

Heger underwent a double mastectomy in September 2018. Later that month, she completed the 5K course and cheered on her daughter as she finished the half marathon.

“I’m a pretty resilient person,” Heger said.

“Those that know me know that I don’t sit still for very long, so as soon as my body was able to get up and move around after surgery, as soon as I was able to manage the pain, I was getting up, walking around the block.”

Heger said integrative medicine, which is designed to treat the whole person, physically, spiritually and mentally, was key in her recovery. She had just begun participating in hot yoga before her cancer diagnosis.

She also took advantage of holistic treat-

ments, like acupuncture and cupping, in addition to traditional medical treatment.

“When I was diagnosed, I said, ‘No. 1, I need to destress. I need to get back into a more balanced state of mind,’” she said.

“That’s what yoga taught me to do, to be silent, still and appreciate my breath. I had this sense of calm and peace that allowed me to embrace whatever was coming at

me.”

Heger said she used the same mentality she had developed through her years of running marathons to help push through her cancer treatments and procedures, including the removal of lymph nodes under her left arm.

“What it took to get through was very similar to the perseverance required to run,

LOWER BREAST CANCER RISK Like most diseases, breast cancer can’t always be avoided. But there are steps that women can take to lower risk factors and detect the disease early so that treatment has the highest chance of success.

• Refrain from alcohol: Those at risk for breast cancer should limit drinking to less than one glass per day.

• Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, so maintaining a healthy weight can help lower risk.

• Breastfeed: Studies suggest that women who breastfeed have a lowered risk of developing breast cancer.

• Learn how to perform breast self-exams: Examining one’s breasts for unusual changes is an important part of breast cancer prevention.

to get beyond the uncomfortable,” she said.

“When I first started training for marathons, people told me, ‘You’re going to hit the wall at Mile 22 or Mile 23. Just be prepared.

You’ll want to stop, but don’t stop.’ My first marathon, I knew exactly what they were talking about. You hit the wall, but you move beyond it and think one mile at a time, and that’s what I did with my whole cancer treatment. Those bad moments, I’d think, ‘I’m in so much pain, but it’s going to get better.’”

In August, doctors told Heger she was cancer-free. Indy Women’s Half Marathon Media Coordinator Sarah Bustamante said Heger’s positive outlook and commitment to running were two of the reasons she was chosen to receive the Trailblazer Award.

“She was a great example of what you can do when you focus on your mind, your body and your soul,” Bustamante said.

“She did everything she could to treat her body and her spirit through the journey of this really hard year, and she was just an inspiration.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Holiday beacon

Recycling discussion should continue

Commentary by Terry Anker Even as the last days of summerlike sun warm our Hoosier families, thoughts begin to turn toward the coming winter. Merchants, eager to edge out the competition, have already begun squawking about the impending holiday seasons.

Forgive this column’s intrusion into an already crowded field of gate jumpers, too eager to skip this lovely season in anticipation of the next, but one holiday tradition stands to be revived and renewed just this year. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of John Deere farm and lawn equipment impresario Gary Reynolds and his wife, Cindy, the decades-long run (beginning in 1955, reflecting the love of the season with Gary’s parents Mac and Arline) held at the company’s former headquarters at Ind. 37 and I-465 will be continued with a new partnership and locale. Conner Prairie living history museum will now host the elaborate displays as a part of its new “A Merry Prairie Holiday,” from Nov. 29 to Dec. 29.

Reynolds and his family are well-known for their support of our communities, and this gift is no exception. Much planning and consideration has been given on how to best preserve the celebration, attract visitors to enjoy a new seasonal favorite at Conner Prairie while not burdening the nonprofit with the considerable effort of hosting the spectacular. As we struggle to take in the lights, now counting north of 1 million, we are able to make food donations along the way. This year, a familiar beacon — new to Conner Prairie — will light the season, and we’ll be there to see it.

Road rudeness drives me crazy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I have had it with mean drivers! And I’m petrified for my youngest, who recently obtained her permit. I’ve done the math: Her bad driving plus strangers’ HUMOR mean driving equals multiple insurance claims.

Take my recent trip to Columbus, Ohio.

In an effort to garner Favorite Aunt status, I drove six hours roundtrip to see a niece belt out “When You Wish Upon a Star” in her fifth-grade musical. I made the first leg without incident but hit trouble almost immediately during my return.

First, there were the three cars that refused to let me into their lane because I had not been duped into merging 2 miles earlier.

Friends, it’s called a zipper merge because you are supposed to continue all the way to the point of the closure, not get over immediately while you are still five towns back.

Pretending not to see me as they kissed

the car butts in front of them was just plain mean. It’s not my fault you’re a sucker!

Next, there were the two obnoxious truckers who drove side-by-side at 7 mph for 20 frustrating minutes this side of the Indiana border. No construction, no emergencies and no one in front of them. What the flip? I honked my horn. I tried to go around.

I even called their company numbers. All to no avail. Eventually, the semis moved on, but seriously? Why would they deliberately slow down traffic like that? Why? Because they are mean.

Look, I’ve got a new driver on the roads.

She’s going to need patience and a wide berth from each of you. Please don’t be mean! I can’t afford it! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”

— Napoleon Hill

Editor, Thank you for the recent column by the head of the Carmel recycling program. Many Americans are doing a good job of recycling, but the problem is that there no longer is the market for much of our waste.

China no longer wants our used plastic, since it is now concentrating on its own plastic pollution problem. So, more and more is ending up in landfills, costing cities, and eventually taxpayers, more.

Plastic pollution is perhaps the worst problem. Plastic pollution is killing marine life, making trash heaps in our oceans and eventually getting in humans.

Sadly, only about 9 percent is recycled, and our society has not adopted some of the uses of recycled plastic that Europe has. Some states and local governments in the U.S. have banned plastic straws and plastic bags. They can be replaced by paper straws made right here in Indiana.

Plastics also can be made from plants, which biodegrade faster without the problems that petroleum-based plastic have.

Plant-based plastics would give our hard-hit farmers a new market and boost the economy of small-town rural America. State government in Indiana needs to promote these solutions rather than put legal obstacles in the way!

Mike Boland, Fishers

Brett and Mary Ellen and I just returned from a fabulous vacation in Peru (South America, not Indiana). We flew HUMOR to Miami (Florida, not Ohio) where we had a 13-hour layover, which is like a sleepover, but without jammies and a blankie. What do you do for 13 hours at the Miami International Airport?

I wanted to wander around, but I was afraid I’d get lost. I didn’t want to be MIA at MIA. To pass the time, I did a little exercising. My most innovative workout was to walk on the moving walkway in the opposite direction, simulating my treadmill at home.

have breakfast and what we were going to do the next day. Big deal. I get a text like that every morning from Mary Ellen.

The Wolfsies avoided one traditional food: guinea pig on a stick. This delicacy would make anything on a stick at the Indiana State Fair seem more appealing. One day, we visited an alpaca farm. That evening, the menu included alpaca stew. I couldn’t eat that dish after seeing these adorable animals, but I do love my new alpaca sweater.

When we returned home, there was a block party going on and Mary Ellen was showing our neighbors the elegant necklace and bracelet she bought in Cusco, a thriving city about 45 miles from Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, they thought she said Costco, and that took a lot of the charm away from the story.

We’re already discussing plans for next year’s adventure. My wife is thinking Costa Rica. I am thinking Brazil (Indiana, not South America).

IU Health doctors up county park

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Staff from IU Health North and Saxony hospitals spent time Sept. 20 performing a day of service at Geist GIVING BACK Park in Fishers. Staff members planted trees and a rain garden and beautified trails, repaired picnic tables, spread mulch and built shelters during the 11th annual event.

“We do a great job inside our walls, and this is a way of helping the community by creating a way to have access to trails and lead a healthy lifestyle,” IU Health Regional President Doug Puckett said. “Part of our Community Health Needs Assessment identified obesity as a key issue, and we also know from research that people who regularly use parks have lower-than-average obesity rates.”

Approximately 150 staff members, who divided into two groups and worked one shift each, participated in the day of service.

Carl Zenor, a senior project manager for IU Health Saxony in Fishers, has participated in all 11 days of service.

the community,” Zenor said. “We spend so much time helping patients within the walls of the hospital, but to be able to go out and do something for a community that doesn’t always see us is a good effort.”

This is the hospital’s first year working in Geist Park. Previously, it has sent volunteer groups to Cool Creek Park in Westfield and Coxhall Gardens in Carmel.

Puckett said there were projects at each hospital for staff members who couldn’t participate in the day of service, such as putting milkweed seed packets together and painting kindness rocks.

Brookshire food vendor selected

By Sadie Hunter Sadie@youarecurrent.com Brookshire Golf Club has seen many changes since the City of Carmel purchased it in 2006.

UPDATE After more than $10 million in renovations were unveiled in July, Brookshire and the city signed an agreement last month with MTS, under the name of Iron & Ember, to operate food services at the club, 12160 Brookshire Pkwy.

MTS Collective is best known for its facility in Noblesville, Mustard Seed Gardens, a historic barn and farmhouse wedding venue on the city’s west side on Ind. 32. MTS was formerly known as Red Barn Events, Inc. “We felt that (MTS Collective) better represented our entire brand,” said Mark Skipper, who owns and operates the company with his wife, Teresa. “Previously, Red Barn Events fit us because we only had one venue, and it was a big, red barn. So, underneath the umbrella of MTS Collective is Iron & Ember Events at Brookshire and Mustard Seed Gardens in Noblesville.”

For the past nine years, the Skippers have operated Mustard Seed Gardens. In June, the facility hosted its 500th wedding anniversary celebration.

MTS Collective was among seven companies that submitted bids to the City of Carmel. Through the agreement, Iron & Ember will provide food, beverage and event management services and manage the snack bar at Brookshire’s pro shop.

According to the agreement, MTS Collective will pay the City of Carmel monthly installments of $1,000 for the first 12 months.

The payment will increase in Iron & Ember’s second year to $1,250 and to $1,500 in the remaining three years of the agreement, which ends Dec. 31, 2024. In addition, MTS

Iron & Ember derived its name from the prominent architectural features of the banquet space: iron girders and a 15-foot-wide fireplace.

(File photo)

Collective will pay the city an additional quarterly percentage payment, which includes 2 percent of gross receipts for the remainder of 2019 in addition to 2, 3 and 4 percent of gross receipts for varying levels of earnings.

MTS Collective also will pay the city $400 per month for utility costs.

“We renamed the banquet room Iron & Ember because the trusses in the ceiling are iron girders,” Skipper said. “They’re massive, and they make a really great impression. Also in the room is a 15-foot-wide fireplace. We thought, what better way to represent weddings and marriages than iron and ember? Iron sharpens iron in the Bible, and in marriage you’re constantly helping each other get better. Then with ember, in all marriages there are very difficult times, and you have to keep that flame going and keep the ember hot. We thought it was a perfect name for the space.”

Skipper said the space can be rented for nearly any event, but he expects weddings will be the most common because the venue also has an outdoor ceremony space.

CCP presents ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The iconic movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” has always been a favorite of Jan Jamison.

PLAY So naturally, the Westfield resident and director wanted to bring the play adaptation to the stage.

The 1967 movie featured Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier in the lead roles.

“Spencer Tracy died just 2 1/2 weeks after they concluded filming and they all knew he was sick,” Jamison said. “The emotions are very real, especially (Hepburn’s) face and reaction. The acting is superb. We don’t want to copy Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier. We want to have our own (portrayals).”

Carmel Community Players will present “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel, this month.

Like the movie, the play is set in 1967 when a daughter brings an older, black doctor she is dating home to meet her white parents.

“It was a bit of a shock,” Jamison said.

“They are a very liberal family, so they are faced with their own convictions of nonprejudice. It’s still pertinent today.”

Natalie Weber, a 2014 Guerin Catholic High School graduate who grew up in Fishers, is playing Joanna Drayton, the daughter.

“I was getting aggravated because I couldn’t find anything for me, but I saw they were going to have a role for someone 23, which is my age right now,” Weber said. “I was excited because I thought I could do this role. It’s a drama and a comedy. In college, I did improv comedy, so I’m used to more comedic roles. But since this one is more serious it will be interesting and challenging for me.”

Weber knew the premise of the movie.

“Jan got the cast together to watch the movie, which I thought was a really great way to get that camaraderie with the cast,” Weber said.

At the time, interracial marriage was still against the law in 17 states until struck down by a Supreme Court ruling in June 1967, shortly after the movie was

filmed.

Indianapolis resident Onis Dean plays Dr. John Prentice. Dean said he acts in musicals 95 percent of the time.

“My parents grew up loving Sidney Poitier, so when Jan saw me in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ (with Mud Creek Players) she said I should at least come and audition,” Dean said.

When he came in for the reading, Dean said he fell in love with the powerful script.

John D. Carver, Greenwood, is playing the role of Matt Drayton. It is his first show with CCP for the veteran community theater performer.

Carver was attracted to the role because of his admiration for Tracy.

“I’ve done ‘Inherit the Wind’ and a couple of other things that (Tracy has) done,” Carver said. “I like the man. I like his style.

I like his acting technique. This has been one of my favorite movies to watch over the years, so when I saw the auditions, I jumped at the chance.”

Marie McNelis, an Indianapolis resident, portrays Christina Dayton. McNelis acted in high school and college but only returned to acting a year ago.

“I was a speech and drama major in college,” McNelis said. “I put that on the shelf, then I retired and decided I wanted to dust that off and start up. Jan gave me my first role at Buck Creek Players in ‘37 Postcards.’”

McNelis said Jamison alerted her to the auditions for the role.

“I was in my freshman year in college when this came out, and I was just bowled over first by the subject matter and the wonderful acting done by Spencer Tracy and the underacting that was done

by Katharine Hepburn,” she said.

Westfield resident Lisa Warner plays Hillary St. George, who works with Christina Drayton at the art gallery.

Warner said it’s not a pleasant role to play because of her racism, but it’s essential to the storyline.

“I won’t even shake Dr. Prentice’s hand when he offers it,” Warner said of the racist nature of her character.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 and 27.

Tickets are $15 for students and seniors and $17 for adults.

Local chefs in national spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Justin Miller, executive chef of Carmel’s Anthony’s Chophouse and 3UP, will have a chance to show his skills at a national competition.

COMPETITION Miller was named to Team Indiana, a group of Hoosier chefs and home cooks heading to Dallas to compete in the Oct. 16-20 World Food Championships.

Miller received his golden ticket to the WFC by winning the Taste of Piazza 2019 competition in Indianapolis. He will be assisted at the competition by Evan Slusher, Anthony’s Chophouse’s executive sous chef. Slusher, a 2011 Noblesville High School graduate, also assisted Miller in the Taste of Piazza in August at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The duo prepared a turkey dish.

“It’s a unique opportunity to show not just the cooking side of Indiana but Indiana products,” Miller said.

Miller said the golden ticket put the duo in one of 10 categories.

“We’ll be in the recipe category,” Miller said. “Our first round is decided for us. We have to make a vegan dish. Our second

round, we will present our signature dish.

Out of the 60 competitors in our category, the top 10 are selected, if we are fortunate enough to get that far.”

There are 1,500 competitors in the 10 categories, and 10 winners will later compete for $100,000.

Time for sweater-weather wine Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Pulling out sweaters and jeans this week has reminded me that with the change in weather, new, bolder WINEderlust wine selections are in order. With cool temps, we often want something that’s going to “warm us up.” In wine-speak, that translates into heavier-bodied, full-flavored reds.

There’s a great little wine shop at the northeast corner of 116th and Olio Road in Fishers called Tasteful Times. You can find each of the wines I’ll mention there. It also has a fun selection of artisanal local fare, which I love. Tell ‘em I sent you.

One of my very favorite varietals is inky, toffee-full Petit Sirah. For me, fall is permission to indulge! McManis ($12) makes this scrumptious, value-driven bottle. Dark black fruit is nearly overpowered with caramel and cocoa. Think about a dried blueberry covered in dark chocolate Milk Duds. The flavors are big, the finish is long and the price is low. If you’ve never given Petit Sirah a try, this is a great jumping-off point.

2017 Fidelity Red Wine Crazy Creek, Alexander Valley, will set you back a little more

than $15. A Bordeaux-style blend (merlot, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon) is a great value from California. The merlot contributes flavors of ripe blueberries and cordial cherries. The cabernet adds structure and a nice long finish while the petit verdot brings color, tannin and a pretty whiff of violets to the table. New French Oak adds warm vanilla to this bright little number.

Vindicated Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County ($18) stands out as a deal.

If you’ve traveled to this area, you’ll know what I mean when I say that this wine “smells” like Sonoma. Bright and brambly right off the bat (think ripe with blackberries and raspberries) with a little cocoa and lots of warm wood in the background. And the tiniest hint of eucalyptus. Medium tannins and strong structure with 14.4 percent ABV will warm you right up.

Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for nearly to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade.

Paint and stain, or a combination of both, are standard options for kitchen and bathroom remodels.

(Submitted photo)

Some like it painted

Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard One of the first decisions to consider when remodeling your REMODELING kitchen or bathroom is what color your cabinets will be. The two primary options are paint or stain.

If your aesthetic sensibilities lean toward the clean and crisp, painted cabinetry may be the way to go. It used to be when it came to painted cabinets, you were offered white or cream. Then gray came along.

Times and options have changed again, and now if you’re looking to infuse your cabinet design with color, paint is a great option.

Cabinet companies work diligently to curate paint color offerings that keep pace with current and future trends as well as those that maintain classic staying power.

We work with a cabinet line that offers 38 standard paint colors as well as a custom paint-matching service.

If you look at a piece of wood and see the unique, natural beauty of the grain, then perhaps you should consider stained cabinets. Stained cabinets offer the combined beauty of color and texture to your home.

Various species of wood offer distinctive character that is enhanced by the addition of a stain color. Cabinet companies work equally hard developing multiple stain colors that complement the inherent beauty of various wood species.

NaNo 101 Workshop Wednesday, October 16 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY Although there are many factors that affect your decision to paint or stain, no one says you have to choose only one. Mixing and matching also is allowed. Give us a call so we can help you decide what works best in your home.

A very over-used word Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it, and the writing will be just as it should be.”

GRAMMAR GUY -Mark Twain Here’s the scene: You offer to drive to lunch, and, just before everyone gets in, you make a mad sweep around your car, grabbing old to-go cups and discarded wrappers and putting them in an old Wendy’s bag. Maybe that’s not you; perhaps your car is somewhat tidier. Regardless, just as everyone gets into your car, you commence with the obligatory statement that goes something like this: “Sorry, my car is such a mess.

It’s very dirty. I’ve been meaning to vacuum it out for the past six years.”

Whether our car interiors are clean or not, we all repeat a version of the obligatory apology when we give someone else a ride. Guess what? It’s unnecessary. You have permission to quit apologizing.

Here’s a word we don’t need to say anymore: very. “The book was very funny.”

“The Olympian jumped very high.” “The president was very upset.” Boring.

If “very” is overused, as I suggest, what alternatives do we have? Let me propose two options. First, simply omit the word and proceed with your sentence as usual.

As Mr. Twain suggests, you should simply search your entire document (when writing) or somehow audit your brain for words it knows (when speaking), then merely delete the word from your entire lexicon. You don’t need to say or write “very” if you’re using it as a “filler” or “padding” word. The same thing goes for the word “really.” Really.

Rather than saying something is “very fast,” say it was “quick.” If you want to convey that something is “very good,” instead say that it is “superb.” Don’t say “very hungry.” “Ravenous” is much more interesting.

Substituting the word “very” will infuse your speech with the exact intensity or tone you want. So, either stop saying “very” or find a better word.

Horrors in the Burnt House Commentary by Don Knebel Jerusalem’s so-called “Burnt House” shows the horrors that befell Jewish families when first-century Roman soldiers brutalTRAVEL ly put down the First Jewish Revolt.

In the fall of 66 A.D., Jewish rebels managed to expel the hated Romans from Jerusalem and began extending their influence throughout Roman Judea. Emperor Nero dispatched 60,000 troops to the area, commanded by generals Vespasian and Titus. On August 29, 70 A.D., after a long and deadly siege, Titus and his troops broke down the walls and entered Jerusalem. They set fire to the city, destroying the Second Temple. The historian Josephus, who had led Jewish forces against the Romans, later reported that there were 1.1 million casualties from the First Jewish Revolt, most of them Jewish.

DISPATCHES Can I microwave this? — If you try to nuke the wrong thing, your microwave just might breathe fire. To answer all your definitely not dumb questions about what the “wrong thing” to microwave actually is, there’s a website called Can You Microwave?. It covers everything from clothes (surprisingly, yes, with a few caveats) to cookie dough (sadly, no), and each entry contains an explanation of why it does or doesn’t belong in a microwave. If the item is safe, the site also provides directions on how best to microwave it.

Paraffin is made from petroleum, which creates smoke that can be irritating to those with asthma and allergies. Beeswax candles emit almost no smoke so they are better for your air.
