2020 budget approved; festival funds cut

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council voted 6-1 Oct. 21 to approve the 2020 budget, but not before reCITY NEWS moving the majority of funds requested to launch an arts and music festival.

The general fund budget totals more than $112 million and includes adding 15 firefighters, three police officers and providing all services for the recently annexed Home Place for a full year for the first time. It also includes nearly $2 million to cover an extra pay period that will occur in 2020 because of the leap year.

The current tax rate of 78.86 cents per $100 of assessed home value is expected to slightly decrease The proposed budget included $425,000 to launch an arts and music festival planned to debut the weekend before Memorial Day in 2021. Carmel Director of Community Relations and Economic Development Nancy Heck, who requested the funds in her department’s budget, previously said the city’s support would be similar to the $440,000 it contributed in 2017 to launch the Carmel Christkindlmarkt.

The council approved an amendment from councilor Sue Finkam that

reduces 2020 funding for the festival to $50,000 to allow planning to continue but require additional appropriation requests to come before the council.

Finkam also requested that Heck give monthly updates to the council on preparations for the festival.

Heck did not respond to a request for comment as of press time.

Councilor Tony Green voted against the budget, citing the fact that budgets for the Community Relations and Economic Development department and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission have increased at least three times more than increases for law enforcement during his three years on council.

The council did not remove $2.4 million it expected to pay to Hamilton County in 2020 for use of the county’s 911 dispatch center. Carmel recently joined several other Hamilton County municipalities in approving a 10 percent increase in the local income tax to fund the dispatch center, meaning its annual fee can be used for other purposes. The tax goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, 36-year Carmel resident Hans Collins asked the council to remove the funds originally designated for the dispatch center from the 2020 budget.

“How fair is it to the Carmel taxpay-

er, who now will suffer a 10 percent increase in local income taxes while still paying for a city expenditure that has ceased to exist?” he asked. “The least you can do to be somewhat fair to Carmel taxpayers is to eliminate the no-longer-needed money from the city budget.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard previously said he expects the city to use the savings to fund other public safety initiatives, which could include purchasing equipment and training for the city’s growing police and fire departments.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION NOV. 5 The municipal elections are Nov. 5. Early voting hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Nov. 1, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 2 and 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 4 at the Judicial Voting Center, 1 N. 8th St. in Noblesville.

What happened: The council introduced a resolution expressing interest in purchasing the second floor of the Lurie Building at 30 W.

What’s next: The council’s Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee will discuss the proposal.

What happened: The council approved expanding the list of places skateboards and other toy vehicles are not allowed.

Council wants 5G slowdown

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council narrowly approved a resolution Oct. 21 asking state and federal CITY NEWS officials to further study the impact of 5G technology and slow down its deployment.

The resolution was drafted in response to a September report from the Carmel Cable and Telecommunications Commission that raised concerns about the technology. The report pointed to a study that found “clear evidence” of tumors in the hearts of male rats exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiation.

5G technology uses even higher radio frequency waves than those in the study, and with its towers placed only two stories above the ground, many people have expressed concerns.

Three people representing business and technology organizations asked

the council at the Oct. 21 meeting not to approve the resolution without further study.

“Passing (the resolution) would have a chilling effect on Indiana and Carmel’s efforts to provide connectivity to residents and businesses and to be a welcoming place for the tech economy,” said Jennifer Hallowell, who spoke on behalf of the Indiana Technology and Innovation Association.

Councilors Jeff Worrell, Kevin “Woody” Rider and Sue Finkam voted against the resolution, saying that they’d like to gather more information before taking action.

Finkam pointed out that other items identified as possible carcinogens, such as gingko biloba and aloe vera, have not led to a public outcry.

“We don’t have a preponderance of people standing here asking us to pull those from the product shelves in Carmel,” she said.

Each year, Clark and Tonya Tilson create an elaborate Halloween display for Woodland Springs neighborhood children to enjoy. (Submitted photo)

Display delights area kids

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tonya Tilson and her family are full of the Halloween spirit. ”We have a HALLOWEEN kid-friendly cemetery they get to walk through on one side of the yard,” Tilson said. “The other side has some skeletons and (inflatables) in it. It’s a pretty eventful front yard.”

Tilson said her motivation has always been to make the display fun for neighborhood children.

She and her husband moved to the Woodland Springs neighborhood in 2003. At that time, the couple didn’t have children, so the display started off with a few decorations.

“Then as we had a child and more kids moved into the neighborhood, it’s progressed into a pretty large theme,” Tilson said.

Their son, Cooper, 14, is a Carmel High School freshman.

“He has gone from the trick-ortreating to helping decorate,” Tilson said. “We have a family across the street that has seven kids, and so they interact with us and help.”

Tilson recently retired as a Lawrence Police Dept. officer, and her husband, Clark, is a Carmel Police Dept. officer.

“My husband enjoys building some of the items that go into our little graveyard,” said Tilson, who said her basement is full of Halloween decor.

Tilson said they begin to put the decorations up the first week of October. She gets help from 8-year-old Jude Hogan, from the family across the street.

“He’s our little assistant,” Tilson said. “This year he created his own little cemetery and my husband helped him design it.”

Hogan set up a countdown to let Tilson know when it was time to decorate.

Even before all the decorations were put up, Tilson had visits from kids walking through the cemetery.

“Cooper and Jude like to hang out in the cemetery. They don’t scare the little kids,” Tilson said. “But if it’s older kids or the parents, they will (scare them). When the parents come through, they’re caught off-guard, so it’s pretty comical.”

DISPATCHES Trick-or-treating hours – The City of Carmel does not set an official time for trickor-treating, but suggested hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31. Carmel police will provide extra patrols throughout the city during that time.

Halloween safety – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging parents of trick-or-treaters to check the Sex Offender Registry to know which houses to avoid on Halloween. In Hamilton County 126 people are on the registry with another 67 traveling to the county to work. View the registry at sheriffalerts.com/cap_main. php?office=54835.

AVOID FOOT SURGERY with New MLS Laser Therapy

This state tennis team title had the most meaning for Carmel High School senior Presley TENNIS Thieneman.

“This one is the most special to me, not only because it’s my last year, but because we made history with four in a row,” Thieneman said. “In the past years, we had a lot of talent. This year, we really had to work for it.”

Thieneman, who transferred from Louisville Trinity High School as a sophomore, helped lead the Greyhounds to their school record fourth consecutive boys tennis state championship Oct. 19 at North Central. Top-ranked Carmel edged No. 5 North Central 3-2 in the final. The Greyhounds finished 24-0 and won 83 consecutive dual matches during those four seasons. Carmel previously won three consectutive state titles from 2010 through 2012.

Thieneman, the 2018 state singles champion, topped North Central’s Ian Brady 6-0, 7-5 at No. 1 singles.

The Greyhounds earned their other points in the final at No. 1 doubles (senior Uday Lomada and junior Jones McNamar) and No. 2 doubles (senior John Zirkelbach and sophomore Broc Fletcher).

There REALLY is RELIEF for foot and ankle pain.

From left, Carmel High School tennis players Uday Lomada, Ethan Zhang, Broc Fletcher, John Zirkelbach, Eli Mercer, Jones McNamar, Presley Thieneman and Coach Bryan Hanan. (Submitted photo)

“Our doubles have been strong all year. Depth is what has won it for us this year,” Greyhounds coach Bryan Hanan said. “We have a (NCAA) Division I player with Thieneman going to Northwestern. But other than that, we had a lot of guys with the same ability.”

Lomada said a big part of Carmel’s success is it doesn’t have one or two top players.

“Our entire team can compete with each other,” Lomada said. “Our No. 2 doubles can easily compete with us.

It helps bond the players when we try to beat each other.”

Carmel advanced to the final by topping No. 3 Columbus North 4-1 in the semifinal. Along with winning at No. 1 singles and both doubles, Carmel senior Ethan Zhang won at No. 2 singles.

ALL-STAR Baseball player’s personal quest inspires teammates, community to give

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com AJ Bradley has faced his epilepsy with the same vigor he shows on the baseball field.

The Carmel Elementary COVER STORY School third-grader had his first seizure two years ago and had his second seizure in June. His mother, Alyson Harbor, said he was diagnosed with epilepsy after the second seizure and began taking medications.

“He doesn’t have any restrictions, but it is med-controlled,” she said.

Bradley, 8, has played on the Carmel Pups 7-and-under and 8-and-under travel baseball teams and will be on the Pups 9-and-under team this spring.

After his second seizure, the doctor told him to immediately avoid contact sports.

“He burst into tears and said, ‘I have a baseball tournament, I can’t let my team down,’” Harbor said. “The doctor said since baseball isn’t a contact sport, he was OK to play baseball. Baseball has been a support for him.”

Pups coach Scott Bailey informed Bradley’s teammates about his condition.

“We talked (about) how he was fighting this life challenge and used it as an example of fortitude,” Bailey said. “We talked about how we could use his leadership to help him with the diagnosis.”

When Bradley found out there was a National Walk to End Epilepsy in Indianapolis in September, he immediately had an idea.

“He said, ‘Mom, can we have a team and raise money to help people with seizures?’’’ Harbor said.

“He did it on his own (and) created a shirt as an additional fundraiser. He let everyone know about it.”

Bradley named his team AJ’s All-Stars and designed shirts with a baseball and his jersey

number.

“My goal was to raise $1,000, but I got over $1,900,” Bradley said.

Bradley created a video to put onto social media and helped launch a website to collect donations.

“Everybody rallied around AJ,” Bailey said.

Several of Bradley’s teammates and their families participated in the Walk to End Epilepsy, and several donated.

“He wants to advocate and raise awareness,” Harbor said. “I have people say, ‘My kid had seizures. Can I let them know AJ does?’ He wants other people to know. It’s something we want to normalize for him. It’s part of his life and we don’t want him scared of it. He wants to help educate others. He’s embraced it and made it something bigger than just him.”

Harbor said her son has played several other sports, including basketball, soccer and flag football, but baseball is his love.

“He really wanted to play football (this fall), but we wanted to make sure the meds were going to keep his seizures under control,” Harbor said.

Bailey said Bradley’s fundraising walk helped other kids think about ways to give back. Recently, one of Bradley’s teammates suggested donating hygiene products, blankets, books and toys to put in duffle bags for a project called Bags of Hope for children in foster care.

Most of the 22 members of the two 9-and-under Pups teams will gather Nov. 9 at Carmel United Methodist Church to stuff the bags.

Bailey, whose son, Preston, is on the team, said nine kids will be on the Pups team together for a third season.

Bailey said he often talks about what it means to have “Carmel” across the jersey and representing the community.

Bradley’s stepfather, John Harbor, is in his third season helping with the team.

“Scott is really big on building their baseball skills, obviously, but also building them into better people,” John Harbor said. “From the first year, he has talked about different things we can do in the community and get the kids active. His mission is to get them out there to do stuff that will build character. Not just fundraisers, but even on the field, he is real big about pushing sportsmanship and attitude. As coaches, we are not going to argue with umps. We’re going to show these kids how to be good sports.”

Learn more about Bags of Hope at bagsofhopene. org.

MEET AJ BRADLEY Why baseball is his favorite sport: “It’s a team sport, and you get to have fun.”

Favorite part of practice: Batting cages.

Favorite positions: Outfield and pitcher.

Favorite teams: “I like the (Pittsburgh) Pirates, but I like the (Philadelphia) Phillies as well, because they have my favorite player (Andrew McCutcheon).”

ESSAY

LETTER

Dying to know

Support students by voting yes on referendum

Commentary by Terry Anker Life is filled with hyperbole. In the modern Christmas classic “Elf,” the good-hearted, if excessively naïve protagonist, is walking the streets of Manhattan when he spots a neon sign bedazzling a basement-level, greasy spoon boasting that it serves the “world’s best coffee!” Elf, understandably impressed, rushes in to congratulate the befuddled staff on what he imagines must be a significant accomplishment of some renown. It is all harmless enough, and as Elf loses a little of his own innocence, he comes to understand the nuanced difference between a bit of puffery and downright lying.

So, how do we identify the distinction? Is the notion polled by absolutes or subjective measures?

When does a bit of hyperbole go too far? Most might assume that when a 7-year-old claims they are “dying for an ice cream cone” that death is an unlikely result, even if the treat is denied. But pundits and protestors routinely carry bloody banners reporting that people are “dying” in the cause. Discussing the current disruption caused by yet another European transit strike, the fellow stranded traveler waxed poetic about those who were dying because of poor wages and long hours. Maybe. It could be plausible.

Stress is a measured killer.

Asked, “Who is dying? When did they die? What killed them, specifically?” The traveler answered, “Well, I don’t know, but you get the point.” Not really, but we are dying to know.

A public shaming of mom shamers Commentary by Danielle Wilson Bad news, friends. It has come to my attention that “mom shaming” is alive and well in the Indy HUMOR suburbs. And given my advocacy for supporting all parenting styles, I feel I must address this important subject matter right away, lest it get out of hand for the holidays. It’s time to shame the shamers.

Mind your own business, ladies!

Especially when it comes to new parents. I had lunch with a first-time mommy last week and she horrified me with stories of lactation crazies, judgmental friends and condescending holier-than-thou types. What the what?

Her baby wasn’t getting enough to eat, but everyone around them kept pushing the “breast is best” agenda. Puh-lease! Nursing might have worked for you and your family, but it ain’t the end-all, be-all for everyone.

Thank goodness she has an awesome pediatrician (we love you, Dr. D!) who took one look at her strung-out, sleep-deprived, tear-stained face and told her flat out, “Give this baby a bottle of formula, stat!”

My friend told me what a relief it was to finally have “permission” to do what she instinctively knew was right for her child. Her child, mind you, not yours. Her daughter is now putting the weight back on, she’s grabbing some rest and everyone is happy.

The moral of this story is this: Stop shaming new parents! If they want to exclusively use Enfamil and a binkie, good on them. It’s none of your business, anyway.

Peace out.

Editor, I am an 11-year-old fifth grade student at West Clay Elementary. I am not old enough to vote. I am writing because I want to encourage adults to vote yes for the school safety referendum.

I am writing because I think our schools should be safer. We don’t have a police officer at our school all the time. Right now during a lock down drill, we barricade the door and delay the intruder until help arrives. If we had an officer at West Clay, help would arrive much faster.

Please vote yes so that can happen.

I also think lots of kids have anxiety and stress at school. It has been scientifically proven that anxiety and stress makes the brain learn less efficiently. I think having more support for mental health is a good idea. Please vote yes so that can happen.

In conclusion, I think you should vote yes for me and my peers. We are your children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors. Please vote yes for us on Nov. 5.

Cooper Szotek, Carmel

School safety tax is excessive

ENGINEERED TO EXHILARATE & INSPIRE

THE 2019 MAZDA CX-5 SPORT FWD

Editor, I get it. People read about a school shooting and want to throw money at any idea that increases safety. But not all ideas are worthwhile. Let’s look at Carmel’s proposal to increase taxes by about $50 per person, ostensibly primarily to increase police in the schools.

Last year, there were 35 killings in schools in the U.S. If Carmel is typical, our share of that would be about .01 deaths based on the number of students here. Let’s assume that you could completely prevent that possibility, which is impossible. Even blanketing schools with police will not stop the first minute of shooting, during which much of the damage occurs.

What would .01 lives be worth? You could say priceless, but we do put

values on lives in the US. In the health field, many people think that a year of life is worth about $150,000, which would make a student’s life worth about $10 million. You could argue that this number should be higher, but the Carmel tax would spend 50 times this, $500 million per life saved.

Would you vote to increase your federal taxes 10 to 20 times to increase Medicaid and Medicare spending 50 times?

Besides, didn’t I just read that the county is increasing taxes to pay for the 911 system, and doesn’t that free up something like $2.5 million that would otherwise be spent by Carmel and that can now be used on whatever they deem the most important needs for the city?

Trolling for the perfect gift Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Below are some of the items from the new fall Hammacher Schlemmer gift catalog. This 171-yearHUMOR old company offers a lifetime guarantee on its products, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how they come up with these ideas.

The 10-minute Smartphone Sanitizer According to HS, the average cellphone has more germs than a public restroom. It’s probably true I leave my phone in a public restroom several times a week. Their gadget disinfects your phone with a germicidal light.

Don’t worry, you can still make dirty phone calls.

The Silent Squeaking Dog Toy Now your dog can play with his squeaky toy and you don’t have to go batty listening to it -- since only your pooch can hear it. And you never have to replace his toy because you’ll never know when it’s broken.

Lost Glasses Locator You attach this device to your specs, and it connects via Bluetooth and uses an Android app to locate your glasses on an interactive map.

Your cellphone rings when the glasses are nearby. How cool is that? Now, where the heck did I leave my phone?

The Talking Children’s Bank Machine This child’s toy looks like a real ATM and teaches little ones to deposit and withdraw money. What does the machine say? If you deposit cash, it

says, “Thank you.” If you withdraw, it says, “Sorry, kid, that’s a $5 service charge.”

Chess Masters Salt and Pepper Mills The shakers are in the shapes of chess pieces, but I do not recommend this gift for people who are chess fanatics. One woman reported that she gave these to her husband as a gift. That night, she asked him to pass the salt and it took him four minutes to make the move.

Fish-Catching RC Boat The perfect gift for the absolute laziest person in your life. It’s a pintsized boat that fishes for you. Yes, it trolls the lake, sets the hook when the fish strikes and then brings the fish back to shore. It’s $69.95, and for an extra six bucks you can get a sign to put on your front door that says, “Home fishing.”

The Every-Angle LED Mirror Yes, this is just what I want for Christmas: a series of six separate attached mirror panels positioned so that when I sit in front of this contraption, I can see my double chin, my bald spot and the bags under my eyes — all at the same time.

I look forward to the Christmas edition of the catalog. For a humor writer, it’s a gift.

Urban Chalkboard closes

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com The Urban Chalkboard Learning Studio and Play Café closed Oct. 25 following a farewell open house.

CAFÉ The café at 452 East Carmel Dr. provided a place for children up to age 6 to play while parents ate or worked at tables nearby.

The Urban Chalkboard was created by co-founders and child-development researchers Dr. Jessica Beer and Dr. Tonya Beer Bergeson-Dana in 2014. In a farewell post on the company’s Facebook page, The Urban Chalkboard announced it would be moving “in new directions not limited by our four walls or a single physical location.” Beer said those “new directions,” along with The Urban Chalkboard’s lease being up at the end of November, played roles in the decision to close.

“We needed to be able to shift our focus from day-to-day operations to new business development opportunities that leverage the people, processes and knowledge capital we have been fortunate enough to learn over the past five years,” Beer said. “Our lease term was up and it was the right time for us to make that move.”

E. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots Beer confirmed that the future business opportunities E. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots will still involve E. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots helping children gain access to play, which she said is crucial for Ryan H. Cassman John V. Maurovich Alex Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A. Gibson Bergeson-Dana their development.

“Our play cafe Ryan H. Cassman John V. Maurovich Alex Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A. Gibson Attorneys for Families & Business experiment has given us ample data Attorneys for Families & Business to show that play builds healthy, Ryan H. Cassman John V. Maurovich Alex Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A.

Your time is valuable Commentary by Jeremy Ciano

Welcoming Dr. Nick Kitcoff to our dental practice in Noblesville!

When did waiting times of 30, 45 or even 60 minutes become the accepted norm in medMEDICINE icine? I am amazed and, frankly, agitated when I go into a doctor’s office only to consistently have significant waiting times.

Getting to level 16 on Candy Crush to finally be called back, just to wait in another room, to then start the Facebook newsreel while waiting on the doctor to finally come in, is too long. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Does anyone else think there should be a better way?

Now, to be fair, there are times in medicine when difficult cases come up or day-of call-ins need to be squeezed into a schedule for emergency reasons. But these are expected parts of the scheduling process. And if you ever are one of the unlucky folks in the aforementioned examples, you want your doctor’s

office to be both compassionate and accommodating of your need to be seen that day. More important, you would expect your doctor to take the full time needed to address all of your ailments and/or symptoms.

No one wants their doctor cutting corners or rushing through an exam simply to keep to a strict schedule.

This is why, I believe, proper scheduling is the key to success. My colleagues and I are extremely cognizant of scheduling and, therefore, respectful of your valuable time. Thorough, on-time and personalized exams are the foundation of an exceptional patient experience and office culture.

So, the next time you are waiting too long for your practitioner, simply ask yourself, “Why?” Dr. Jeremy A. Ciano, an international lecturer and published author, is a Current Publishing columnist. For more information or to ask a question, he may be emailed at DrCiano@Revolution-EYES.com.

Former Colt Biasucci gets his acting kicks in ‘Hollywood, Nebraska’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dean Biasucci is better known in central Indiana for his skills on the football field, not a stage.

Biasucci, the former Indianapolis Colts kickPLAY er and third-leading scorer in team history, will be part of the reading for “Hollywood, Nebraska” at 7 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The reading is part of Actors Theatre of Indiana’s new Lab Series, where three plays were selected for readings at different times during the season. The goal is for the readings to later become full-length plays.

Biasucci appeared in “Hollywood, Nebraska” as a workshop production at the Wyoming Theater Festival for new plays two years ago. The story is about two actresses returning to their hometown following family emergencies.

“It’s a sweet story,” Biasucci said. “I liked all the people involved in workshop production. We only did a few shows of it, so I didn’t do all the work that I would like to do with the character, to have an opportunity to put more into it. If they like it, maybe I’ll have a chance to come back to Indianapolis to do it (as a play).”

Biasucci takes an acting class with Amy Bodnar, who has previously performed with ATI. Bodnar put ATI co-founder Don Farrell in touch with Biasucci.

“We talked about a couple different shows, and this one came along and he knows the writer,” Biasucci said.

“That’s how I’m involved.”

Kenneth Jones, the playwright, also wrote “Alabama Story,” which ATI is presenting now.

“I’m sure he has done some revisions,” Biasucci said.

“This is an incubation period, and this is just another part of it.”

Biasucci first saw action for the Colts in 1984 and then returned in 1986 and was the Colts kicker for nine more seasons. He played his final season for the St. Louis Rams in 1995.

Biasucci played himself in “Jerry McGuire” and had small TV roles in “E.R.” and “The West Wing.” He also appeared in several lesser-known movies while living in Los Angeles. He now splits his time between Charlotte, N.C. and New York City.

“I look at acting classes as like going to the gym, staying fresh in something I love to do,” Biasucci said.

“Unless I’m not in town, I’m in class doing scene work and monologues. A couple times a year I might do an

acting workshop that takes a couple of weeks. Maybe once a year I’ll do a play or be involved with a play.

Half-dozen times a year I’m auditioning for TV or a movie.”

Carmel High School freshman Libby Farrell, whose parents are Don Farrell and fellow ATI co-founder Judy Fitzgerald, plays the daughter of Biasucci’s character.

“I’m studying the character and learning how should I act when I play this or what my expression should be,” Libby said. “My character, like the main character, wants to get away from it all because it’s such a small town.

I like how she’s ready to help and (is) a nice person in general.”

Fitzgerald plays one of the main characters, Jane, one of the returning actresses.

Jones, who describes the story as a rueful comedy, said the play attempts to touch on something universal in how its characters view the idea of home.

“Jane and Andrea, two actresses, left their hometown years ago and are now returning, coincidentally, in the same week,” Jones said. “Whether we’re just back from college or returning in middle age after years away, we all look in the mirror and feel some sort of tension about who we were, who we are today and how our hometown experience shaped us. As these women are actresses the title takes on a new meaning: the comma between ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Nebraska’ carries two meanings. It’s a city address in Los Angeles, but it also suggests the pull between Hollywood and Nebraska.

Which will win out? Which will be chosen? Hollywood?

Nebraska?”

Band pays tribute to Harlem

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Mwenso wants to pay tribute to all the jazz greats that paved the way.

Michael Mwenso CONCERT and the Shakes, a Harlem-based band, will perform “Harlem 100: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance” at 8 p.m.

Nov. 8 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The multimedia touring show was created in collaboration with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and JMG Live.

“This focuses on that music of that time period and the artists of that period, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday,” said Mwenso, bandleader and lead vocalist for the Shakes. “This is music we have been performing for so many years, but to have the ability now to perform it in the context (that) it’s the anniversary of the Harlem Hellfighters (World War I unit of African-Ameri-

cans) and the renaissance (is special).

We’re happy to be able to present the music in this way.”

Stirling Matheson can take a bite out of this juicy role for a second time.

Matheson, a Carmel DANCE resident and Ballet Theatre of Indiana artistic director, is reprising his title role in the company’s production of “Dracula” Nov. 1 and 2 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

One of his victims in the performance is Megan Noonan, a 2012 Carmel High School graduate, who plays Lucy Westenra. She previously played one of Dracula’s brides in 2017.

“She’s alive and then she turns into a vampire,” Noonan said. “It’s fun I can play on the vampire bride’s side that I did before.”

Noonan said most of her dancing is in consecutive scenes.

“I dance all this time and then I have to run around because I’m excited. I’m engaged,” Noonan said. “Then,

I’m frightened because I get attacked

by Dracula. It’s a lot of (activity) in a row. I’m kind of glad I get to lie down and die on stage. I rest for an uncomfortable amount of time as the theater will go dark.”

Noonan said there is a great deal of acting as well as dancing along with action scenes with fighting.

The performances are set for 7 p.m.

Nov. 1 and 2 and 7 p.m. Nov. 2. For more, visit btindiana.org.

Gallery moves to Carmel

By Renee Larr editorial@youarecurrent.com Proprietors of a new art gallery in Carmel want to expose residents to African art. Kuaba Gallery ART recently relocated from Mass Ave in Indianapolis to the Carmel Arts & Design District at 404 W. Main St. “The gallery had been in business for about 18 years,” said Mason Perry, Kuaba Gallery assistant. “The owner of our building sold it, so we had to find somewhere to move. Originally, we wanted to stay downtown, but through some convincing from family and friends, we realized the Carmel Arts & Design District was a great next step for us. We were looking for a newer, fresher audience.”

Owner Jayne During travels extensively to Africa to curate art pieces for the gallery.

“Jayne travels to Africa and brings pieces back to fill our gallery,” Perry said. “We have paintings and sculp-

tures. It’s not just about selling the art. It’s about the artist and telling their story.”

Pieces range in price from $1,500 to $12,000. Kuaba Gallery also works with Kuaba Humanitarian Foundation.

A portion of artwork sales go to empowering communities and creating opportunities for children, families and individuals throughout Zimbabwe.

From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 1, Kuaba Gallery will play host to a grand opening celebration called Repurposed.

Admission is free. For more, visit kuaba.com.

Jackson, a Carmel High School sophomore, has Asperger syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum. Betsy, a 2017 CHS graduate, is a theater arts major at Ball State.

“Betsy is extremely talented. She had the lead when Grace did ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ She was Belle,” Sandifer said. “He saw her get a standing ovation and he wanted that. I thought how many of these kids don’t have a platform. Carmel is a very competitive town, and wouldn’t it be neat were there are not tryouts, you’re going to be in the show. That’s where this came from, just wanting to give all the kids a chance to show their talent.”

Trick-or-Treat on Our Track!

Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard A successful remodeling project requires coordinating the expertise of design and conREMODELING struction professionals, ranging from plumbing to painting, cabinets to countertops and from wallpaper to windows. Remodeling the bathroom shown in the photo started by loosely defining the “look” and “feel” the homeowner was hoping to achieve.

We used the description of a relaxed spa setting as our mission statement to guide the design and material selections.

We utilize a variety of local showrooms and their selections specialists to guide our decisions each step along the way. We selected cabinets and countertops at the very beginning of the process. All of the remaining selections were chosen to complement those initial selections.

When we selected tile, the decision was made to eliminate the typical shower curb and allow the floor tile to continue straight into the shower.

Decorative glass tiles were selected to highlight the large recessed niches that were incorporated to hold showering products and decorative accessories.

In keeping with the “spa” setting, we selected a variety of plumbing fixtures for the shower that included a fixed showerhead, a handheld fix-

ture and a rainhead. We also incorporated a bench within the shower. The freestanding tub and tub filler, along with easy access to bathing accessories, also served to reinforce the spa feeling.

Wall treatments and lighting also were selected to inspire a relaxed feeling throughout the space. The wall behind the vanity was highlighted with wallpaper to provide a subtle touch of texture and color. The lights were controlled with a dimmer to allow the homeowners to establish the mood.

Cray cray apocopations are ridic legit Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt If you’ve ever spilled your brandy on your tux near the grand piano at the rhino zoo, GRAMMAR GUY you know what I’m talking about. If that’s not you, then just know five words in the previous sentence are examples of apocope words. Did you see that ad for the new bike? I just used two examples of apocopes. Is “apocope” a made-up word that I’m slipping into your brain grapes like some kind of bamboozler?

Apocope (pronounced uh-PAH-kuhpee) comes from the Greek word apokoptein, meaning “to cut off.” It

occurs when someone cuts off the last part of a word. “Photo” is a classic example of an apocope. The full, original word is “photograph.” People used to watch moving pictures. Now, we watch “movies.” And if you think apocope words are old news, they’re totes, not (totes = totally).

Although plenty of established words, including hippo, fridge, limo, mayo and camo, are examples of apocopations, we use plenty of them in newer applications (or perhaps I should say “apps”). New apocope words include cred (credibility), gig (gigabyte), guac (guacamole), info (information), legit (legitimate) and typo (typographical error). As you could

probably guess, bro, many apocopations begin as slang words.

Most of the following words won’t show up in your dictionary. That’s because they’re in the larval stage of their etymology. The most tongue-incheek example is “abbrev,” which is short for “abbreviation.” Similarly, “ridic” is an apocopation of “ridiculous.”

You can probably tell that “hilar” is a shortened form of the word “hilarious,” obvi (obviously).

While the youths find these apocope words “totes adorbs” (totally adorable), I suspect generations more ad-

vanced in age will find them “natch” (naturally) annoying. Perhaps these people are named Barb, Dan, Bev, Rob or Steve, which are all apocopic names. I’m not trying to diss (disrespect) you; I’m just trying to point out how abundant apocope words are in our collective lexicon.

Out-of-bounds boundary Commentary by Don Knebel The Four Corners Monument marks the only place in the United States where four states meet at a single point. However, the monument TRAVEL is not where it was supposed to be.

In 1848, the United States gained control of the area that includes Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico in the treaty ending the Mexican-American War. In 1850, Congress created the New Mexico and Utah territories, establishing the border between them as the 37th parallel north.

In 1861, Congress divided the Utah Territory into a smaller Utah Territory and the Colorado Territory, defining the boundary between them as the 32nd meridian west from the Washington Meridian. In 1863, Congress divided the New Mexico Territory into a smaller New Mexico Territory and the Arizona Territory, defining their common boundary as the 32nd meridian west from the Washington Meridian.

All four territories now shared a north-south and east-west boundary, resulting in the quadripoint known as the Four Corners. After the Civil War, government surveyors marked the 37th parallel and the 32nd meridian from the Washington Meridian. At the point where those lines crossed, they erected a sandstone shaft. Other monuments have been erected at that point, the most recent an alumi-

num-bronze disk set in granite. Although modern surveying techniques have determined that the Four Corners Monument is 1,807 feet east of where it should have been placed, the Supreme Court determined that the inaccurately placed monument nonetheless defines the legal point at which the four states meet.

Today, the Four Corners Monument also defines the boundary between territories governed by the Navajo Nation and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. The Navajo Nation operates a tourist attraction around the monument. For a fee, visitors can stand on the monument, being simultaneously in four states.

They also can purchase souvenirs produced by local Navajo and Ute artisans.
