Badger remembered for volunteerism, community spirit

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel City Councilor Jeff Worrell and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard echo the same sentiment: If anyone has earned the title IN MEMORIAM of Mr. Carmel, it was Jack Badger.

Badger died at age 81 Oct. 9 after a five-year battle with primary progressive aphasia, a rare neurological syndrome that affects the ability to communicate.

Badger was an active supporter of Carmel Dads’ Club, CarmelFest, Carmel Clay Schools and its sports programs and Carmel United Methodist Church, among other organiziations.

“No one can hold a candle to Jack Badger, not only what he did for this community but the way that he did it, with integrity, enthusiasm, positivity,” Worrell said.

Badger, originally from South Bend, lived in Carmel for 50 years. He was Carmel’s first recipient of the Pillar of the Community award in 2014.

“Growing up in a small town in northern Indiana, I can tell you that any community – no matter how big it gets – can only function with the help of dedicated citizens who treat their hometown as family,” Brainard said in a statement. “Jack Badger was one of those kinds of people, perhaps one of the greatest Carmel has ever seen. Jack was known for always emitting a spirit of warmth, good cheer, positive attitude and a great love for our city.”

Worrell said it was Badger who saved the day by improving Spark Buttons, which raise money for the CarmelFest fireworks.

One year Badger took five Spark Buttons and wired them to light up.

“We ended up selling those five for $25 each,” Worrell said. “He took it on as a personal mission to grow the program. He was never satisfied unless we sold every single Spark Button. He would work tirelessly, along the parade routes, at CarmelFest. It was a labor of love that started months in advance. I got spoiled and started to rely on it and the Spark Button program has never been the same since he got sick (two years ago) and no longer was able to help us.”

Worrell said Spark Buttons, now licensed and mass produced for $5, will be sold in his memory in 2019.

Mark Badger Fields are named for Badger and his wife Ila’s son, Mark, who died in 1979. He was diagnosed at age 9 with an inoperable brain stem tumor and fought courageously for 13 months.

“His impact on our club consisted of being a parent, a great volunteer,” Carmel Dads’ Club President Jack Beery said. “He’ll be truly missed. He was a great ambassador for youth sports and the youth of our community. He touched every level of

our youth, elementary, middle and high school.”

Badger was on the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the Indiana Donor Network and was a volunteer at the Center for the Performing Arts.

“I feel honored that he asked me to share his life with him because it’s been a wonderful life,” Ila said.

He also is survived by two daughters, Cheryl Kazmierzak, Indianapolis, and Lisa Badger, Carmel, two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Two sons, Mark and David, preceded Badger in death.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 18 at Carmel United Methodist Church, 621 Range Line Rd. The service is at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at Carmel UMC.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard used his State of the City address to announce the launch of the Carmel Fund. He said POLITICS the fund has been made possible through a major gift from the Paul and Judy Estridge family Trust Foundation.

“This will be an endowment fund to benefit the City of Carmel in perpetuity,” Brainard said during Brainard his Oct. 10 address at Ritz Charles in Carmel. “This community fund will be managed through the Legacy Fund, the community foundation serving Hamilton County. We are extremely grateful to the Estridge family for this support that will help nonprofits in Carmel or that benefit Carmel residents. In addition to the leading gift, I am proposing the city match additional donations to the Carmel Fund up to $50,000.

This will create $150,000 that can positively impact our local community.”

Also during the address, Brainard said city officials asked the Indiana University Public Policy Institute to study the economic impact of Carmel redevelopment efforts and update its findings since its report, which covered the years through 2013. The new study encompasses 2014 through the end of 2017.

“We are excited to report that their findings support our belief that the way we are building is fueling our success,” said Brainard, who plans to seek a seventh term in 2019. “The investment the city has made has attracted roughly half a billion dollars of private investment within a few miles of City Center. Business Insider listed Carmel’s City Center as one of three American neighborhoods that are emerging as economic powerhouses.”

Brainard said much has been discussed about the city’s debt and the way infrastructure projects are financed.

“Most of the debt that the city carries is for projects that make our transportation network more efficient, our network of storm and sewer drainage systems better and our utilities more capable of handling additional demand,” Brainard said. “We always balance our annual budget. We never borrow money for operating expenses, and our debt is reasonable when one considers the level of revenue the city receives from this ever-growing, vibrant commercial and residential population.”

CPD focuses on mental health

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

The proposed 2019 budget for the City of Carmel includes a $25,000 increase for mental and physical PUBLIC SAFETY health services for the Carmel Police Dept. In 2018, CPD only budgeted $5,000 for those services.

CPD spokesperson Lt. Joe Bickel said Chief Jim Barlow has made the health and wellness of officers a priority.

“He’s been very involved with these types of new Bickel programs and ideas to make the department more healthy, not only physically, but also mentally,” Bickel said.

The funds will help provide the department with an on-staff mental health consultant, launch the department’s Professional Growth and Wellness Program and provide psychological counseling and additional assistance.

“There’s a variety of things officers go through that normal people don’t. With

these types of extra stresses, we felt like the officers need another avenue for assistance,” Bickel said.

Bickel said stresses include responding to calls with injured children, critical-injury auto accidents and incidents and interviewing rape and molestation victims.

“When a police officer stops a car or responds to a call, they have to go from zero to 100 in an instant at any given time,” he said.

Police officers are 35 times more likely to die of cardiovascular disease and have an average lifespan of 20 years less than a civilian, Bickel said, adding Barlow that post-traumatic stress disorder is rampant in the profession. “(Policing) affects the spirit, soul, mind and emotions at any given time,” he said.

Bickel said the additional support is welcomed by officers and that they appreciate the opportunity to seek additional help if needed.

Officers also can earn an additional $800 to $900 a year through physical fitness incentives.

Senate, house candidates speak on hate crimes laws

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Six Indiana Senate and House of Representatives candidates spoke on hate crimes legislation at a League of Women Voters candidate forum Oct. 3 at ELECTION Carmel City Hall.

The candidates were Republican incumbent Mike Delph for Senate District 29; Democrat J.D. Ford for Senate District 29; Democrat Naomi Bechtold for House District 24; Republican incumbent Donna Schaibley for House District 24; Libertarian Donald Rainwater for House District 24; and Democrat Mark Hinton for House District 29. Republican incumbent Jerry Torr, also running for House District 29, was not present.

Bechtold said it was embarrassing Indiana is one of five states without a hate crimes law.

“If we want to continue to be able to have companies want to come to Indiana, to bring your young millennials in and work for our great state, we need to make sure everyone is treated equally under the law,” she said. “I am completely for the passing of hate crimes legislation.”

Delph was interrupted by an angry audience member claiming he didn’t see Delph at the July 30 community gathering at Congregation Shaarey Tefilla in Carmel, which was spray-painted with a Nazi flag and iron crosses. Delph said he was in the front row during the service.

“Currently, the way it works in the state of Indiana, is judges and courts across the state of Indiana have the discretion to add a sentencing enhancement for a hate crime,” Delph said. “That is currently being practiced in Indiana.”

Ford said that although he did see Delph at the community gathering, afterward he

said Delph verbally attacked a reporter who asked about a hate crimes law.

“Senator Delph, you have been actively, for years, taking down hate crime legislation, so you cannot sit here and say that you are for it,” Ford said. “We need a hate crimes bill passed in the General Assembly in 2019. Two-thirds of Hoosiers in the last General Assembly session support passing a hate crimes bill, and we need to be able to close this chapter.”

Rainwater offered his take on the question.

“If you want to paint a swastika on your garage door so we all know you are a jerk, I think all bigots should do that so we know who they are and we don’t have to be anywhere near them,” he said. “But if you go and you paint a swastika on someone else’s property, then you should be found guilty of intimidation and any other law that we can create that specifically deals with the fact that you have tried to do something to intimidate and damage somebody emotionally and psychologically.”

Schaibley said she is working on hate crimes legislation with State Rep. Tony Cook.

“I am hopeful we will be able to get it passed,” she said. “I live about a mile from the synagogue that was defaced, and that troubled me deeply.”

Hinton said he also is in favor of passing a hate crimes law.

“We need to send an unmistakable message to the rest of the country that we do not tolerate it, and the second reason is to let victims know they will get justice,” he said.

Several other topics were discussed, including the opioid crisis, teen suicide, voter turnout and more. For a full video of the forum, visit the League of Women Voters Hamilton County Indiana Facebook page.

Keystone connector on track

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com Construction crews are making progress on a Hamilton County project that will add a connector from 146th CONSTRUCTION Street to southbound Keystone Parkway.

A new roundabout has opened at Lowes Way, and other aspects of the major overhaul are on track for a projected June 2019 completion.

“Prior to opening (the new) roundabout, this intersection was signal-controlled and then stop-controlled during construction.

Outside of rush hour, this roundabout intersection should provide the public with mostly free-flow movement through the intersection,” said Alison Krupski, bridge program engineer for the Hamilton County Highway Dept. “During rush hour, motorists should see a great reduction in delay at the Lowe’s entrance as they exit off of Keystone Parkway onto Lowes Way. While we are wrapping up Phase 1, motorists should expect small, intermittent delays due to construction traffic.”

In addition to the roundabout, Phase 1 includes two new bridges – one over Cool Creek and one over Keystone Parkway – and a ramp onto southbound Keystone.

Phase 2 – which will extend Lowes Way to Range Line Road - is in the design stage and scheduled to start soon after Phase 1 is complete.

“Our goal is to get both bridge decks poured before the end of the construction season this year. Unfortunately, much of the work left cannot be completed in cold temperatures,” Krupski said. “Thankfully, most of the construction that is left is new roadway, so there should be minimal impact to motorists over the winter while everything is shut down.”

Krupski said there have not been many changes to construction plans.

“Our engineers did a great job of studying and assessing the area to make sure that this project would be successful,” she said. “The community is very excited about this project. The Hamilton County Commissioners have given many project updates to residents in the past year and this is always a very popular project.”

After retiring from the IU School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs Hospital three years ago, Dr. CLUBS Robert Yee was searching for meaningful activities.

So, the Carmel resident joined the Indianapolis Scientech Club, which holds weekly lectures and Yee luncheons Mondays at the Northside Knights of Columbus Hall, 2100 E. 71st St., Indianapolis.

Yee said the audience at each meeting includes mostly retired engineers, physicians, lawyers and other professionals who are interested in learning about science, technology and history.

“The knowledge and professional experience of the audience are impressive,” Yee said. “Lecture topics range from the great flu epidemic of 1918, the significance of the latest Nobel prizes in science, history of Indiana’s Central State Hospital, to Kurt Vonnegut.”

The club is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a banquet Oct. 20 at the Wood-

stock Club in Indianapolis. Eli Lilly, founder of the pharmaceutical company, was among the club’s charter members. During the cocktail hour, hit songs of 1918 will be presented by Carmel resident and club member Alison Brown, accompanied by Kevin Purrone, a professional pianist and club member. Ray Boomhower, senior editor at the Indiana Historical Society Press, Chua will be the speaker.

Carmel resident Gonzalo Chua, a physician and radiologist, retired in 2009 and joined Scientech Club the same year.

“Information from the talks are frequently stimulating for members who may have never had the desire or opportunity to go out of their way to attend lectures of that caliber,” Chua said.

There are four outings a year to areas of interest like water plant management facilities, wind farms, medical facilities and engineering firms.

The club has more than 275 members, approximately 50 more than in 2012.

Groups partner to improve White River experience in Hamilton, Marion counties

‘Amazing resource’

While many things can be done to improve the White River, much progress has been made in previous decades.

A century ago, the river experienced “pig jams” when meat producers threw hog carcasses in the river after removing the parts they wanted, according to Cliff Chapman, executive director of the Central Indiana Land Trust, which works to preserve land along the river and elsewhere.

“You could walk across the river on the bloated carcasses of pigs,” Chapman said. “It ain’t that bad anymore.”

The river may no longer be full of pigs, but other hazards have caused ecological devastation and contributed to a negative reputation. Most notably, in 1999 a chemical spill near Anderson led to a fish kill, and other dangers — such as e-coli — have at times led officials to urge people not to make full body contact with the water.

Even now, in Indianapolis, sewage overflows into the river when it rains more than a quarter inch. The $2 billion DigIndy project is creating a 28-mile tunnel system deep underground to virtually eliminate the problem. In Hamilton County, where most development occurred more recently than Indianapolis, modern designs have kept the problem to a minimum.

But for years now in both counties, the White River has been deemed a safe place to enjoy outdoor recreation.

“One of our group’s goals is to re-engage people with the river,” said Lance Lantz, a member of the White River Alliance board of directors. “It seems like it’s almost a hidden treasure. Those who know it’s there enjoy it, but most of us drive (over it) across the bridges and don’t think twice.”

Perfect timing

In addition to the DigIndy project, other major projects are

Many central Indiana residents rarely think about it. Others have been told to avoid it. But now, several organizations are working together to make the White COVER STORY River a gem that attracts people to live, work and play near its banks.

Hamilton County Tourism is partnering with the City of Indianapolis and other organizations to develop the White River Vision Plan, a comprehensive look at the 58 miles of the river in Hamilton and Marion counties. The initiative was launched in May and has included dozens of meetings with stakeholders and opportunities for the public to provide input.

“We want everybody in central Indiana, when asked, to say, ‘I know about the White River,’” said Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Carmel-based Hamilton County Tourism. “Through awareness we can create positive change. It’s really important. This is not going to end in April when the final report is brought out for public input.”

The next public meeting is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at Founders Park, 11675 Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel. Attendees will have the opportunity to offer input on the plan designs, express concerns and ask questions.

in the works along the White River, such as the transformation of the former General Motors stamping plant in downtown Indianapolis to a $550 million mixed-use project. Conner Prairie, which borders 3 miles of the river, is in the process of completing a master plan that includes showcasing the water to provide education about Indiana history.

Myers said it seemed like a good time to launch the White River Vision Plan with so many organizations already focusing on improving the river. The plan doesn’t seek to replace the work that’s been done by other groups; rather, it aims to unite organizations that already are working toward the same goals.

“We see ourselves as the convener on the project,” Myers said of HCT. “We’re sort of shepherding the collective.”

Other partners include the White River Hamilton/Marion Alliance, Friends of the White River, ReCounty Line connecting Our Waterways and more.

Massachusetts-based Agency Landscape + Planning is consulting on the project, which costs $1.5 million and is funded by several municipalities, Legacy Fund and a grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

The partners have different focus areas, but all are committed to helping the White River reach its I-65 full potential.

IN THEIR WORDS

“The section between Noblesville and Carmel is one of the best-kept secrets in Hamilton County. It’s an easy day float of four to six hours depending upon the water level, and for the most part you’d never know you were floating through suburbia.”

— Joe McDonald, Indianapolis

“I’d love to see more/easier access points to be able to easily take my kids down to kayak, canoe or even just splash around.”

— Amal Anthony, Carmel

“Kayaking White River, especially north of 96th Street, is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. It’s a leisurely paddle and you get to see all kinds of wildlife. I would love to see a few more public access sites between Strawtown and the downriver Hamilton County border.

Since we live in a mostly landlocked state we need to do more to protect our very few navigable rivers.”

— Mark Miller, Carmel

“It needs to be cleaned up. I couldn’t believe I saw people (on) tubes floating last summer.”

— Kristin Robbins, Carmel

Marion/Johnson County Line

“We love spending time at River Road Park and walking along the foot paths under the old-growth trees next to the river (also love Holliday Park access to the White in Indy). I would love to see it cleaned up a little more so we could feel 100 percent comfortable canoeing /kayaking/rafting down it.”

— Carolyn Martens, Carmel

Continued from Page 15 “We have this amazing resource going right through our community,” said Claire Lane, an urban conservationist with the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, a project partner. “It’s really a shame to not utilize it and make it a big part of peoples’ lives and respect that this is an awesome asset we have.”

A balanced approach

Not only does the White River Vision Plan aim to clean up the river, but it is exploring ways to increase access and attract development.

“We’re always looking for more family

activities to get the average person to realize the fun there is to be had on this great recreational opportunity,” Lantz said.

At the same time, the group is cognizant of the fact that many private landowners don’t want to see big changes.

“We’ve heard loud and clear from residents that while a lot of people would like to see more trails along the river, a lot of people would not like to see connected trails because it goes through private land,” Myers said.

Ed Shaugnessy, a Carmel resident who enjoys fishing and kayaking on the river but doesn’t live on it, is also hoping that the vision doesn’t lead to drastic changes.

“I hope they go with caution,” he said. “I don’t want to see a lot of restaurants and bars and businesses spring up on what’s now quiet and peaceful.”

ESSAY Life’s seasons

LETTER Voting Democrat for the first time

Commentary by Terry Anker Our bodies carry us through this world like self-contained citystates. Each consumes resources, manufactures energy, grows and rebuilds. Cells are replaced, attackers are repelled and borders are held firm. In spite of a bit of expansion that accumulates over the years around the equator, we govern our territory fairly automatically.

Then, the years pile up and our infrastructure can use a bit of investment. Those we love transition imperceptibly at first, but time waits for no one. For some, graying hair may signal the changing season. For others, the furnace adds another shift as menopause turns up the thermostat. The web is rife with anecdote, conflicting notions, abundant data and confusing allegory. Some posts raise more questions than answers. Still, managing the mystery can make it all a bit less difficult.

Then, is it possible that men suffer much the same in different ways? Increasing weakness and loss of stamina continue to consume them even as the people in their lives seem to require more. One can surf the untamed internet seeking insight on this notion of manopause but little is garnered.

The point, of course, is not to lament the inevitability of what is, but to come to understand and hope to advance in our lives looking ever forward rather than as an aging Narcissus. As quickly as we adjust to the present, it becomes the past. With autumn continuing its slow retreat, we collectively assume an attitude of readiness. Frigid, short and gray days will become the standard. Even so, warm, sunny ones will replace them soon enough.

Living the fantasy nightmare Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well, I’ve gone and jinxed myself. Heading in to Week 5 of the fantasy football season, I am a horrifying oh-and-four.

HUMOR That’s zero wins, people. After publicly bragging about how my dance-mom superpowers would transfer perfectly to the make-believe world of starting, benching and trading professional football players, not one of my thoughtful and well-researched decisions has panned out, and mine remains the only team in a league of 10 without a W. In all fairness to me, injuries have plagued my motley crew. As our commissioner put it, I was running a MASH unit for the first month. Most of my stars are back, thank the Lord, but now luck has decided to abandon me. To wit, though, I racked up the second-highest point total last week. I just happened to play the team that scored the most. Come on, man! Can’t a gal catch a break?

Apparently not, and that’s the worst part.

I feel like I’m letting down womankind, or at least those ladies who care about sports.

As the lone female owner, I’d had dreams of showing the boys “how it is done,” that it didn’t matter that I’m a girl who’s never played a game of football in her life, that really all you need to succeed is a mother’s intuition and internet access. But that dream appears to be circling the drain, so to speak.

There is still plenty of time for me to recover, but I’ll be honest, I’m worried about my prospects for domination. Therefore, I humbly apologize for my earlier smacktalk. This fantasy stuff is hard! There. Am I unjinxed?

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”

-George Washington

Editor, In the North Carolina of my youth, you could get your driver’s license on your 16th birthday and register to vote on your 18th. I was one of the few more excited about officially becoming a Republican than the next (late) great Dale Earnhardt.

I have never voted for a Democrat in my life. This election that will change as I am voting for Erin Vahrenkamp, Michael Sweeten and Kevin Patterson for Clay Township Board and David Russ for Clay Township Trustee. In Home Place, our township taxes, largely due to the Fire Fund line item, have increased from a rate of 0.22 to 0.80 since we moved here.

The incumbents believe Home Place should be the only part of the township taxed for large portions of new fire station construction, even beyond Home Place. I have been trying to work with the incumbents to determine the appropriateness of this. I could be wrong; however, it is hard to tell when they, despite nice salaries for part-time work, won’t dig in themselves.

I would encourage you to pass up a chance to stay in the weeds of our current grassroots “representatives” and vote for these Democrats. They seem much more mature in their ability to offer transparent rather than transactional government.

VETCHECK PET URGENT CARE CENTER LOCATED IN FISHERS, IN FOR BOTH WELLNESS AND URGENT PET CARE NEEDS

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last week, I looked back on our longtime handyman who became a good friend. When he passed in 2005 of cancer, I HUMOR wrote this: I once told Steve he was the greatest handyman east of the Mississippi. Steve said he could easily be the best handyman west of the Mississippi, also. I think he considered moving to Utah just to prove his point.

I can never replace Steve as a friend, but I do have to find another fix-it guy. Over the past year, as Steve’s condition worsened, my garage door fell apart, the molding on a kitchen cabinet peeled off, the toilet seat broke and the garbage disposal stopped working.

Because I was loyal to Steve and felt certain he would recover from his illness, I left things broken. Knowing him, I thought he’d be at my front door again very soon. Steve knew better. He was very practical and realistic about things. That’s why he was such a good handyman.

I will miss Steve chiding me for being totally useless. When Steve fixed something, he made it look easy.

Now that Steve is gone, my wife fears I may try to fix something without professional help.

“Can’t you call someone?” she asked the other day. “The hanging rod in my closet has been broken for a week.”

“Who am I going to call, Mary Ellen?”

“Dick, you know everyone. That’s what you do for a living. For example, don’t you know someone who taught his llamas to square dance?”

“They never miss a step.”

“And the man who eats earthworms for his daily protein?”

“I had dinner with his entire family.”

“And with all those people you have met, an entire computer file filled with talented individuals, you can’t find a handyman as good as Steve?”

It took more than 5,000 tomorrows for us to find another fix-it guy who could make our old house good as new, and then help us transition to our final nesting place. I don’t plan to ever fix anything. And that’s a promise that will never be broken.

Eyeing the myopia epidemic

Commentary by Dr. Matthew Clark

It is estimated that by 2050, more than half of the world’s population will be myopic, or nearsighted. In EYE HEALTH Asia, the numbers are more astonishing, as a study of South Korean 19-year-olds found that 96.5 percent of these teens were nearsighted.

The main cause of myopia is genetics.

However, with a trend like this, there must be something else at play. You guessed it: digital devices. While genetics set the potential for nearsightedness, the endpoint is highly related to environment. Phones and tablets are only becoming more prevalent in school, after school and socially. It is likely that the prevalence of myopia will continue to rise as well.

So, what can we do about it? Although we may not be able to prevent a child from becoming nearsighted, the goal is to keep them from becoming so myopic that they develop a higher risk of retinal complications. The goal is to keep it at bay so that they can hang around the house without glasses on or make it to the bathroom at night without feeling around the bedside ta-

ble for their specs. To throttle this progression, there are two contact lens options to discuss with your eye-care provider.

• Multifocal soft contact lenses – These lenses, called distance-centered multifocals, are the same lenses many adults wear in their 40s. The lenses work by relieving some of the focusing stress on the eyes when reading or looking at devices. These lenses have been shown to reduce myopia progression by up to 40 percent.

• Orthokeratology – Ortho K is the use of hard lenses worn at night to reshape the cornea. In the morning the lenses are removed and vision is clear throughout the day. A 2017 study showed that this practice may reduce myopia progression by as much as half.

If you and your spouse both start each day with glasses or contacts, and you suspect your child is headed for a similar fate, discuss these options with your eye doctor.

Dr. Matthew Clark, O.D., practices at Carmel Eyecare.

Swan links with Purdue Foundry

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A new partnership recently was forged between Swan Software Solutions, a Carmel-based software ENTREPRENEURS company that creates custom application development for the cloud and mobile devices, and Purdue Foundry, an organization aiding startups in placing ideas on the marketplace.

As a part of the partnership, Swan Software Solutions will provide a free discovery, analysis and assessment for all startups engaged with the Purdue Foundry. The assessment typically costs between $5,000 and $10,000, and it serves as the startup’s blueprint to justify a vision or an idea.

“Once (the startups) get through (the Purdue Foundry) training, Swan is going to step in and help do assessments on their mobile application or web application,” said Martin Czyzewski, Swan director of business solutions.

Swan President and CEO Alex Morozov said the partnership fits the company’s model. He said he wanted his business to do more than just allocate funds to support the Purdue Foundry.

Prior to Swan’s partnership, Purdue Foundry didn’t have a team in place to offer the free assessments, meaning the startups needed to raise money to complete the assessment.

“We are helping them out right out of the box when they finish training,” Czyzewski said. “They will have that assessment in hand and know exactly what is needed to turn it into a real business.”

Morozov said he expects 10 to 12 startups coming out of the Purdue Foundry to take advantage of Swan’s services each year.

The quirky characters are based on the 1960s situation comedy. The story centers on Wednesday Addams, all grown up, and fallen in love with a nice young man from a respectable family. Piper Williams, Carmel, is playing Wednesday.

“This is the biggest show they’ve had so far with cast members at this theater,” Akins said. “It’s a lot of people to put on stage, but we’re making it work.”

Akins said she was asked to direct when she was in “Murder on the Nile” in March.

Akins, who grew up in Zionsville, has acted in area theaters and Renaissance Fairs.

“I’ve been in a few shows in this theater and I’m a choreographer and a dancer,” Akins said.

Westfield resident Audrey Larkin played Lucy in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” in October 2017 in the Carmel Apprentice Theatre’s inaugural production. Then, Larkin served as director for “Murder on the Nile.”

Larkin said she wanted the role of Morticia when she auditioned.

“I’ve been challenged to dance quite a bit, which is always fun,” Larkin said. “And it sits right in the sweet spot in my voice.

These songs are really fun to sing.”

Jonathan Scoble, Carmel, is playing Gomez.

“My favorite part of Gomez is he is a

Spaniard and he gets to carry (and) dance with this tall glass of water (Larkin), and it’s working with great people,” said Scoble, who acted in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “Murder on the Nile.”

Traci White, Carmel, made her acting debut in “Murder on the Nile.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back here,” White said. “I just want to thank the The Cat owner Will Wood for bringing such a glorious thing to Carmel. It’s amazing.”

The Apprentice Theatre combines theater veterans with acting newcomers.

White plays Grandma Addams.

“It’s a super-fun role, she’s quirky,” White said.

White said she has attended theater shows for more than 30 years.

“I never thought about performing until

my dear, good friend Lisa (Williams) was part of the group,” White said. “I thought, ‘Why not (join), this is going to be the second half of my life.’”

Williams serves as the artistic director.

Layla Nazzal, a Carmel High School sophomore, plays a younger version of Wednesday.

“I’ve never acted before and I don’t have any lines in this play,” Nazzal said. “I’m a dancer and rhythmic gymnast.”

Shobha Rai, a Carmel resident, is playing a dancer and one of the ancestors.

“I’m from Nepal and I’ve had to learn dance from America and it’s new to me,” Rai said. “Our music and dance is totally different from here, so it’s a big challenge.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Inside Sun King Spirits, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: Chicken tacos.

Price: $8 Anna’s take: La Margarita offers three different taco options – chorizo, chicken and carnitas en chile verde. I ordered the chicken tacos. Two come per order. They are cradled in double, blue corn soft tortillas. The most unique aspect to the tacos is the chicharron, or fried chicken skins.

The chicharron added an extra flavor and crackle. The tacos, however, were already bursting with flavor from a mild chile pesto, crumbled queso fresco and a tart bite from pickled red onions and cilantro. Lime wedges are served alongside.

I suggest you don’t dither over the tacos because the generous filling will burst

CHS Choir Cabaret set for Oct. 20

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School Director of Choirs Kathrine Kouns loves the casual aspect of the school’s Choir Cabaret.

MUSIC “One of the best things about this event is it’s not as formal as a regular concert,” Kouns said. “It’s not everyone sitting in a dark auditorium staring at the stage the entire time. It’s a great evening of community where people are up and about and talking and bidding and mingling.”

The Choir Cabaret & Auction fundraiser is set from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 20 in the freshman cafeteria at CHS. “We decorate it quite a bit so it doesn’t look like a cafeteria,” Kouns said. “We’re going to have a lot of variety of music, wonderful desserts and great auction items.

There will be music almost the entire time.”

There is a silent auction and live auction with bigger ticket items at the end.

The Ambassadors, the mixed show choir, and the Accents, the all-female show choir, will perform group numbers.

“There are more solo and small-group numbers, trios and quartets, than we’ve ever had before,” Kouns said.

From left, Gretchen Fehn, Kieran Thomas, Chendi Liu, Ben Spanenberg, and Natalie Hammond perform at a previous Cabaret. (Submitted photo)

The Ambassadors and Accents each will perform one song from their Oct. 9 fall concert. The groups will perform two numbers each, special for the Cabaret.

The fundraiser will help with the choirs’ trip to the Heart of America competition in Nashville, Tenn., in March 2019.

“This will help to pay for the busing and the hotels and the competition costs,” Kouns said. “We are trying to offset the costs so the individual families don’t have that burden.”

‘Poppins’ helps Wheeler Mission

By Heather Lusk editorial@youarecurrent.com There’s more to the musical “Mary Poppins” than a magical nanny.

That’s the message Mandy THEATER Polster wants to convey. As volunteer director of Grace Church’s production of “Mary Poppins,” Polster said one of the show’s themes is healing broken relationships.

“If you look at the story of ‘Mary Poppins,’ there’s a lot of talk about the displacement in those relationships and needing a little bit of extra help,” Polster said. “If we look past the magic and spectacle that ‘Mary Poppins’ can be, there’s some really true and gritty relational needs and harmony that flow through the show.”

“Mary Poppins” runs Oct. 26 through Nov. 4. Grace Church is at 5504 E. 146th St. in Noblesville.

The story follows two children, Jane and Michael Banks, and their parents, whose focus is elsewhere. When nanny Mary Poppins arrives, she attempts to bring the family together and heal their relationship.

Triangle versus zone designs Commentary by Randy Sorrell

OPEN HOUSE Pre-K, Kindergarten through 8th Grade Thursday, November 8th (8-11AM) Register for 2019-2020 school year.

Personal tours will be given to you and your children.

Contact Information: Jennifer Podlogar 842-1125 or jpodlogar@sldmfishers.org www.sldmfishers.org 11421 Hague Road Fishers

No, we’re not discussing basketball defensive strategies. We’re talking kitchens.

For decades, kitchen REMODELING design focused on a concept known as the work triangle. The points of the triangle were defined by connecting the three main components of your kitchen: refrigerator, sink and range. The triangle was thought to be most efficient when the points on the triangle were separated by anywhere from 4 to 9 feet and where the sum of the distances between all three points fell within a range of 13 to 26 feet. This concept made lots of sense when kitchens were relatively small and focused on the singular purpose of meal preparation.

Times change, and we can only improve on things. Right?

These days, kitchens are likely to be multi-purpose command centers, supporting not only meals but also providing space for paying bills, feeding the dog, doing homework and socializing. Today’s kitchens are often much larger and open to the adjacent family room and/or dining room. As a result of these evolutions in lifestyle and layout,

Modern, multi-purpose kitchens aren’t just for cooking anymore. (Submitted photos).

we now design kitchens to include various work zones. The zones are defined by how you use the space and might include food prep, storage, baking, cooking, eating, cleaning, wine and coffee. Each zone can be outfitted with the appropriate cabinetry, countertops and appliances to properly support each function.

We recognize that both design concepts have their merits. Ultimately, a welldesigned kitchen that accommodates the

various needs of your family may require incorporating elements from both.

Does your kitchen support your family’s lifestyle? Stay home and be moved.

Restored Great Room of Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Russia’s Catherine Palace Commentary by Don Knebel Catherine Palace, one of the most popular sites in St. Petersburg, Russia, is a monument to 18th-century extravagance and 20th-century skill.

TRAVEL In 1717, Czar Peter I gave his second wife Catherine a piece of land 20 miles south of St. Petersburg, which he had founded in 1703. Catherine erected a summer palace on the marshy site, which became known as Tsarskoye Selo (Tsar’s Village). In 1741, Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter and Catherine, became empress of Russia. Deciding that her mother’s palace was far too modest, Elizabeth, who reportedly owned 18,000 dresses, demolished it and started over. When completed in 1756, what became known as Catherine Palace stretched 1,000 feet from end to end, its blue stucco exterior ornamented with 200 pounds of pure gold. The lavish interior rooms featured walls with gilded rococo carvings and ceilings covered with magnificent paintings. The 10,000-squarefoot Great Room, used for balls and state

dinners, extended the width of the palace.

Because of its large windows, mirrors and 696 candles, people called it the Bright Room. When Catherine the Great became empress in 1762, she said the palace resembled whipped cream and rebuilt parts of it to reflect her neo-Classical tastes.

During the siege of Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was then known, Nazi troops used Catherine Palace as a barracks. During their retreat in 1944, the troops set fire to the palace, destroying much of it, including the Great Room, which collapsed. Relying on historic sketches, the Russian government restored many of the rooms, with the some of the funds coming from a benefit concert held in the Great Room by Elton John. The meticulously restored rooms reopened to the public in 2003.

Indoor air quality — To improve indoor air quality, one of the easiest fixes is to replace paraffin candles with beeswax candles.

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.
