Council approves townhomes at 116th, College

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

After an hour of public discussion, the Carmel City Council on Nov. 6 voted 6-1 to approve a $13.5 million development townhome project on the southwest corner of 116th Street and College Avenue in Carmel.

Indianapolis-based Onyx + East plans to build 59 for-sale units, which would be two- and three-bedroom townhomes with anticipated prices between $220,000 and $300,000.

City councilor Tony Green voted against the planned unit development.

The development has come under scrutiny by neighboring residents, notably those in Applewood Estates. Letters of remonstrance state they are concerned about the height of the townhome buildings, which are three stories, the space between the development and the other neighborhoods, which is a 40foot setback and 10- to 15-foot buffers, and the density, which is 15.5 units per acre. The number of units was previously reduced from 62 to 59 to provide less density.

“It would not add any value to the area and would not fit with the rest of the neighborhood,” Applewood Estates resident Susan Clemons wrote in a letter to the plan commission. “My husband and I would like to see some lovely single homes in this area, not condos.”

Onyx + East received approval to build 59 townhomes at 116th Street and College Avenue. (Submitted photo)

The development went through the Carmel Plan Commission process with a positive recommendation, but some commission members expressed concerns.

“I was never comfortable with the density,” commissioner Sue Westermeier said.

“Regarding building heights on the west and south side, I asked the petitioner if there was any way they could be reduced to two stories. I was told that it could not be done with this project.”

In the city council’s Land Use Committee, the development received a negative

recommendation with Green and councilor Laura Campbell voting against it and councilor Bruce Kimball voting in favor. Campbell changed her vote to yes when it came to the full council because changes were made.

Rider said he understands that neighboring residents want smaller, separated homes but that the market wasn’t there for that.

Rider said if the council didn’t approve the PUD, he would expect that an office park would be suggested in the space and the same three-story heights would probably apply.

project costs

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said construction is on schedule for the city’s ice skating rink and German holiday city news market that will open outside The Palladium Nov. 18.

This will be the first year for The Ice at Center Green and the Carmel Christkindlmarkt, and crews are working feverishly to turn the public green space into a winter destination.

“I think we can safely say that winter in Carmel, Indiana, will never be the same,” Brainard said.

Brainard spoke to the media Oct. 30 as the ice rink panels were being installed behind him. Wooden huts also were being pieced together. The ice rink cooler system was installed the week of Oct. 23.

“Families will enjoy skating under the stars throughout the winter into March, weather permitting,” he said.

The holiday decorations will be hung as the

Construction — about $6 million for the rink and market.

Market’s anticipated expenses — $541,625 for the first year.

Market’s anticipated revenue — $737,504 for the first year.

City of Carmel grants — $420,000 for the market in the 2017 budget and $125,000 in the 2018 budget.

CEO’s salary — Maria Murphy will make $110,000 plus benefits to run the market, which lasts from Nov. 18 to Dec. 24. She will also have duties during the off-season.

36 huts are installed, expected to be complete no later than Nov. 10.

The kickoff event will feature the annual lighting of the city’s holiday tree and an appearance by Santa Claus.

Operations for the ice skating rink will be

handled by Mike Aulby, owner of the Arctic Zone Iceplex rinks in Carmel and Westfield.

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission will pay $61,918 annually for management fees and the year’s expenses are estimated at $87,924, according to a contract provided.

Brainard said the Carmel Christkindlmarkt will become known not only for its food and beverage offerings — such as meats, cheeses and Gluwein, which is a warm mulled wine — but also for its unique handcrafted goods that can be purchased for holiday gifts.

“A lot of these products at our market you won’t find anywhere else in America,” he said. “These were purchased at small German shops, often (made by) people working in the back of their homes.”

Brainard said lots of local businesses will be involved but organizers didn’t want to sacrifice authenticity.

“A lot of times they become local craft fairs, and we’ve insisted that ours be authentic,” he said.

Neighbors oppose power lines

LIVING INDEPENDENTLY IS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE A LITTLE HELP.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Dozens of upset Carmel residents packed the room at the Carmel Educational Services Building to voice disapupdate proval of Duke Energy’s plan to build power lines to feed a new substation along Rohrer Road.

Neighbors expressed concerns about tree removal, unsightly poles and cancer possibly caused because of proximity to lines.

Carmel Fire Dept. officials distributed tickets at the Nov. 6 Carmel City Council meeting because seats were full and space was standing-room only.

Carmel resident Sue Dillon spoke at the meeting, telling the crowd how she worked years ago with local utilities when it came to extending the Monon Greenway through Carmel. She said she hopes Duke will decide on a plan that preserves the Monon’s aesthetics.

“Protecting the natural features of our community is in everyone’s best interest, including the utilities,” she said. “Is there possibly a less destructive location for this substation, or does it have to go there?”

After residents spoke, city council mem-

bers said they agree with the crowd but their hands are likely tied because of state laws regarding utilities.

“Unfortunately, I have no say in the matter, but I couldn’t agree with you more,” city councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider said. “We’re all assuming that Duke is going to try to challenge us there. What we need now is everybody to contact your state legislators and give local municipalities some teeth. So we agree, and we wish we could do more.”

City councilor Ron Carter said it’s important to protect the Monon “at all costs.”

“We may bring to council an ordinance that will allow us to do some things we thought we might not have been able to do,” he said. “So I guess to all, ‘Stay tuned.’”

Living in a comfortable community with staff always on-hand to help you with the tasks of daily living can go a long way in reducing the amount of time you spend worrying. That’s why we’re here.

Mayor requests $50K for budget Compiled by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com What happened: The Carmel City Council considered whether to transfer $68,500 into the 2017 Mayor’s Office budget.

What it means: The proposal would transfer $50,000 from the Dept. of Community Relations and Economic Development budget and the other $18,500 would be transferred between budget categories within in the Mayor’s Office budget. The Carmel City Council asked Director of Administration Jim Crider about how the money would be used.

“Most of it goes to fees obligated for (financial consultant) Curt Coonrod and the rest was sent for travel,” he said.

What’s next: At the suggestion of city councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider, the vote will be postponed until the next council meeting so the council can ask Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard about the proposed transfers.

What happened: The Carmel City Council voted unanimously to establish a two-hour parking limit, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and noon for the city parking lot at the southeast corner of 1st Avenue NE and 1st Street NE. What it means: The new parking lot was scheduled to open in mid-November and the council wanted to set a two-hour limit during these times so the parking lot would function properly. The council declined to comment on why those specific parking hours were needed, but the lot might be an attractive parking spot for Carmel High School students because it’s a short walking distance to campus.

Suspect sought – Carmel police are help assistance in locating a suspect who allegedly cashed a stolen and forged personal check using a stolen Indiana driver’s license. The license was stolen from a vehicle in Fishers before being used at a bank in Carmel. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Carmel Police Dept. Investigations Division at 317-571-2500.

Green Gift Shop still growing

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Green Initiative and the Carmel Clay Public Library will host the fourth annual Green Gift Shop and LIBRARY Holiday Showcase from 1:30 to 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at the library.

Local businesses will showcase organic, natural, recycled and repurposed items.

“We’ve got 31 vendors, which is about six more than last year,” said Madelyn Zalon, Carmel Green Initiative board member.

“We’re getting really crowded. We’re excited about the vendors we have. Everything was unique last year. Now, we just have more.”

Vendors will sell jewelry, chocolate, organic soaps, essential oils, lip balms, coats, handbags, mittens, toys and art.

“We have a vendor called Kaps for Kids, and they make flowers and mosaics out of bottle caps. They’re really cute,” Zalon said.

“We have someone who makes home items out of recycled pieces, some of them from old bicycle parts.”

The library also will showcase how guests can use their resources for holiday gifts.

“From the library’s standpoint we wanted to showcase what we have to offer for

New this year is a complimentary doit-yourself wrapping station stocked with recycled paper.

“If you buy some gifts you can wrap them right there,” Jenneman said.

There also will be crafts for kids, a pianist playing holiday songs and refreshments.

Last year, more than 450 people attended.

Festival of Trees returns Nov. 18

RUSSIAN GRAND BALLET P R E S E N T S

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Hamilton County residents will soon be able to get in the holiday spirit while helping the community at fundraiser the same time. Good Samaritan Network will host the fourth annual Festival of Trees at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St., Carmel.

The evening will include dinner, a keynote address and a silent auction of creatively decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, centerpieces and oil paintings.

“We work for about two weeks to get everything ready,” event coordinator Kim Harden said. “Then we move them up to the ballroom the day of the event. The designers come up with so many different themes. They’re just really cool designs.”

The fully decorated trees will be delivered to the winning bidder’s home by the Two Men and a Truck service to help ease the pain of holiday decorating.

“If people want to come back every year or re-donate your tree back to Good Samaritan Network, we’ll take it apart and re-work it,” Harden said. “Then they could get a new design every year.”

In addition to holiday decor, guests will be able to bid on two experiences with Santa — a visit from St. Nicholas on Christmas Eve and an afternoon of toy making.

“For the toy making, he’ll have two different age-appropriate toys. It will be a wooden, keepsake toy and he will sign it and date it. He’ll bring the workshop to you,” Harden said.

Shelter from the

Carmel family provides refuge, relief after Hurricane Maria

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com A Puerto Rican family is taking refuge in Carmel after Hurricane Maria devastated their island home Sept. cover story 20.

Pepe López welcomed his parents and niece into his home Oct. 6. They were joined nearby by his sister and brother-in-law one month later. Only two weeks after weathering Hurricane Irma, the visitors witnessed the blistering winds, flooding and power outages caused

by Maria, the strongest hurricane to blow through the island in more than 80 years.

“Usually with hurricanes, people get ready very well,” Pepe said. “It’s the aftermath that is difficult. I don’t think that people expected the destruction was going to be as severe, so after five or six days, then it started getting really bad.”

Preparing for disaster

Pepe’s parents, Carlos and Lydia, have lived through many hurricanes in their 85 years on the island, but nothing like Maria.

“It was a catastrophic situation,” Carlos said. “You can imagine almost everything was destroyed. No electricity. No water. No communication. We were isolated.”

Carlos and Lydia had some resources left over after Irma tore through the Atlantic Ocean in early September, but when Maria hit they still found themselves scrambling to find canned goods, gasoline for generators, cash, medications and window shields. Their granddaughter, Isabel Hernandez, said it was chaos.

During the hurricane, Lydia said the noise was so intense that she turned the volume up on her radio to drown out the noise and began to pray. Trees blocked the street so they couldn’t leave their neighborhood. Gasoline sold out, and those that needed it were put on a waiting list.

“I can see my Puerto Rico never as I

know it,” Lydia said. “Never.”

For the first few days, the landline worked, so Pepe was able to communicate with his family. When it failed, he began contacting his sister, Lydia Hernandez, through her landline to coordinate their trip to the U.S.

‘We are strong’

Pepe’s brother-in-law works for the Federal Aviation Administration, which made arrangements for family members of employees to be transported off the island.

Carlos, Lydia and Isabel stayed in Miami for three days with a family friend before traveling the rest of the way.

ends. Her parents joined her in Carmel in early November.

“We are thankful to God and for the family of Pepe that opened their hearts,” Carlos said. “Not just extend the hand, you know, but opened their hearts and said, ‘Come on, you have room in our house.’”

Pepe’s family said it has been difficult to adapt to the Indiana climate and they desperately miss home, but they are thankful for the outpouring of kindness they’ve experienced during their time in Carmel.

Carlos and Lydia are hoping to return to their island by Thanksgiving, but for now, their hearts and prayers remain with those at home.

“I’m sure that Puerto Rico is going to rebuild soon, because we are strong,” Lydia said. “Very strong.”

How to help

Pepe created a GoFundMe account to contribute to the recovery efforts and has collected more than $7,000. He is working with his sister in Puerto Rico to purchase electric generators, gasoline, medicine, food, batteries and more.

“The big organizations will not really be there to really help in the day-to-day needs that they have, so I said, ‘Well my parents are there, and my sister is there, they know people they live with that would have a need,’” he said.

“That’s why we started the GoFundMe, so that they could see where the greatest needs have been.”

Donations are converted into cash as well as Kmart gift cards, which Pepe said is the most convenient option for shopping in Puerto Rico. To donate, visit gf.me/u/c5n5y5.

Embracing imperfections

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker A recent weekend found me in the company of a number of not-yet betrothed young men. One had jumped the broom, but most were simply considering making the move. Indeed, my long marriage (longer in most cases than the entirety of their lives) sparked curiosity. Why do some marriages last when others do not? That answer, if a complete one exists, certainly eludes me.

Marry well, if you can, but always expect to find, and seek, compromise. Make little note of your partner’s peccadillos and hope they will do the same. Find room in your lives for each other. There is joy in knowing that the other person is there, always attentive to you and your needs.

Try to constrain your annoying habits.

Remind your spouse that a vice indulged at home is always better than one unseen.

Clean up after yourself – every time and without exception.

But most of all, tolerate imperfection.

Cigars smell. Men stink. And, I’ve never really liked the aroma of strong perfume. It makes me sneeze. So, what? If my bride loves the fragrance, I love it, too. I carry my own very pronounced imperfections. Those in my life who love and accommodate me have come to understand that truth and value my happiness, as do I theirs. In this there is no horse trading, scorekeeping, snarky comment or resentment. And, why should there be?

READER ’ S V I EW Spending is not always about money Editor, It is not always about the money.

Some criticize the City of Carmel, and in particular Mayor (Jim) Brainard, for monies spent in Carmel for such things as sculptures in roundabouts, roundabouts themselves, an outdoor ice rink and the desire to bring an antique carousel to downtown Carmel, as frivolous expenditures of taxpayer dollars. I submit that spending money to enhance the quality of life of the residents of Carmel is neither frivolous nor a waste of money.

For my wife, adult children, their families, and me, who have chosen to live in downtown Carmel, we find those amenities, and others, unique to Carmel, a part of the Carmel experience. They are reasons to live in Carmel. They make us proud of our city and want to show it off to our friends.

The reality for all of us is that if we

made decisions based only on money, we would not make many of the expenditures we make. As an example, why buy a couch when it costs nothing to sit on the floor? Why buy new clothes when the old ones still fit? Why buy a new car when a used car is a better value? I understand that some people cannot afford couches, clothes or cars, but the City of Carmel can afford the amenities it provides its citizens.

Our property tax rate is among the lowest in the state. Our annual revenue exceeds our annual expenses by nearly 60 percent. Less than 4 percent of our property taxes go to debt service. In the next decade or so, more than $1 billion of property value will be added to our tax base. Give the complaining a rest and enjoy what we have.

Steven M. Kirsh, Carmel

I had to go to the Apple Store. Again.

Actually, the visit marked my third in 10 days because the original humor repair to my daughter’s phone lasted until we got home, and the second time I didn’t have four hours to wait for a Genius Bar opening. As I sat on a wooden cube resisting the siren call of Solitaire on my Samsung (yes, Chez Wilson is pro-Android, except for our one rebel child), I took a moment to observe my surroundings.

For starters, the millennials who work at Apple are enviably cool. They come in all shapes, sizes, races, ethnicities and represent a full spectrum of wardrobe preferences. From the detail-minded, shirt tuckedin, headphone-wearing floor manager to the laid-back, ripped jeans, hipster glassessporting tech gurus, I found myself wanting to be 20 years younger and childless.

Then you have customers, who make the sport of people watching truly entertaining.

I saw baby boomers struggling through a clinic on simply “How to work your iPad” and a heavily bearded man wearing a T-shirt that didn’t quite cover his substantial gut ordering his toddler grandson to “Git over here!” The woman next to me had triple ear piercings and a nose ring, and across the room sat a fellow dance mom (hi, SL!). Not surprsinginly, there were scores of angsty teens and young professionals trying out the latest gadgets, but I also spotted a Colts player and several people, besides myself, on Samsungs. It’s still too soon to share my opinion of the gentleman behind me with a noticeable GI issue.

I definitely prefer my Samsung but it’s always intriguing to visit the Apple Store.

Peace out.

No laughing matter Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen passed along some comments she had heard about me at her book club.

“Kathy says your newspaper humor column makes her laugh, and Cara, our hostess, told me she thinks you’re quite amusing on TV.” “Wow, thanks for sharing that!”

“But Dick, I have to ask you this: How come you’re not so funny at home? People keep telling me how humorous you are and how much fun it must be to live with you, but I don’t see it. Maybe you leave it all in the basement where you write your column, or at the remote locations where you do your TV segments?”

“I’m that dull, huh?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. We’ve had a great marriage for 38 years and I’ve been perfectly happy. It’s just not been the laugh riot everyone else assumes it is.”

It was a startling observation — and not an unfair one. When we are out with other couples we all laugh. Waiters love to trade jabs with me. The UPS guy and I always yuck it up on my porch. I never leave the dry cleaners without exchanging a few jokes with the clerk. But apparently, I save

nothing for my relationship with my wife. I only have so much to give, and maybe I give it all at the office.

“Mary Ellen, this is your fault. I can’t kid about your cooking: it’s outstanding. You dress impeccably, you have perfect hair and you are very intelligent. I need some material to work with.”

“I must admit, Dick, you are making a convincing argument.”

I was determined to make things right.

We sat across from each other at the dinner table that evening.

“Dick, you are trying way too hard. The red foam clown nose is not original. And you keep kicking me with those giant shoes.”

When a slight grin appeared on my wife’s face, I knew I was making progress.

“I could try some snappy repartee at dinner every night. I know I could be as funny at home as I am at work.”

“Oh, please,” Mary Ellen said, “don’t make me laugh.”

Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.”

A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

Kaser shines at brewhouse

CleanSlate plans expansion

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

If you visit the Scotty’s Brewhouse on 96th Street during lunch hours, you’re likely to experience employment high-fives, hugs and the bubbly personality of Carmel resident Kelly Kaser.

Kaser, 33, who has Down syndrome, has been working at Scotty’s Brewhouse for three years. The restaurant partnered with Goodwill Industries of Central and Southern Indiana through an initiative by both companies to provide job opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

“This Scotty’s is amazing,” Kaser said. “I like working here the best.”

Kaser works the lunch shift three days a week and is passionate about her coworkers, guests and her ever-growing list of responsibilities.

General manager Jeff Troyer said Kaser’s work ethic is amazing. “(Kaser’s) job is to help keep the restaurant happy, smiling and pumped up and ready to have a good time. And she does that every time,” Troyer said.

Sarah Coffin, Kaser’s job coach and retention specialist for Disability Services through Goodwill, said Kaser always has a positive attitude and has thrived at Scotty’s Brewhouse. As an avid Colts, Cubs and loaded waffle fries fan, Scotty’s Brewhouse is the perfect fit for Kaser, she said.

Kaser was honored with a Rose Award for consistently providing excellent service by Visit Indy in March.

Women unite in energy sector

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com When Tameka McNair joined the energy sector with Carmel-based MISO 3 1/2 years ago, she saw a lack of female representation, especially in leadworkforce ership positions.

Women account for only 20 percent of employees in the electric power industry, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2016 Current Population Survey. McNair, a Carmel resident, said the numbers make it more difficult for women to find a mentor or sponsor within a company and retain their positions.

But she didn’t let that discourage her from striving for more.

“I feel like I’ve had opportunities because I’ve been intentional about paving the way for myself versus sitting back and letting someone give me something,” she said.

McNair, a senior technology and risk analyst, was already developing strategies to increase the percentage of women in the field when she connected with Kelly Snyder, senior origination manager at EDP Renewables.

McNair and Snyder collaborated to create

the Women IN Energy conference, which held its inaugural event in Carmel Oct. 10.

Only six energy-sector companies were on the committee, but the women in attendance represented 38 companies.

“We definitely wanted people to feel empowered in diversity and empowered by women and just make a new connection and build the network within Indiana because the energy space is so small,” said Snyder, an Indianapolis resident.

Snyder said increasing the percentage of women in the industry is important for the stability and success of any company.

Wolf, who co-founded the theater company theater Nickel Plate Players with his wife Sandy Thorne in 2014, is presenting “Broadway and Beyond” at The Cat Theatre in Carmel, at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17 and 18. The performances feature Wolf and Jessica Hawkins, both Fishers residents. Wolf said he agreed to partner with Will Wood of The Cat Theatre for certain productions.

“There are several productions that have large casts of performers, which is too big for Hawkins that space,” Wolf said. “So, we started with ‘Dueling Pianos,’ and then I decided I wanted to create a smaller cabaret-type show and one in which I could come out from behind my piano. The (Indianapolis-area) theater community sees me in one light. They don’t know I performed on stage as an actor. I do a little dancing, so I thought it would be a good time to show the community what I do.”

Wolf then thought who would be the best person to share the stage with for this show. Hawkins was in one of Nickel Plate’s original productions, “Beehive,” in 2014.

“I immediately noticed not only her ability and talent, but her professionalism,” Wolf said.

In addition, Wolf was a fan of Hawkins’ appearance as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s “La Casa Azul” in 2015. Wolf received permission from Hancock for Hawkins to perform some songs for this show.

“He even offered up some of the tracks for us to use,” said Wolf, adding the tracks feature a full orchestra. “He’s been so supportive and so gracious.”

In addition, Wolf said there will be classics, duets and solos from Broadway and classics from famous Piano Men. Hawkins is excited about the variety of the performances.

“This is really fun because I get to sing songs that are not part of a specific character,” Hawkins said. “There are a lot of songs I’ll never get to sing in a show. Some are more romantic.

Some are ridiculous and funny. Gregory’s songs are a little more dramatic, definitely deeper.”

Wolf will perform songs from his play, “Ten Pin Alli,” which he co-wrote and directed.

“It’s really nice to be able to do songs from different shows,” Wolf said. “You can’t pop into Sondheim (music) in the middle of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show. We get to mix it up and present a lot of different writers and materials.”

Wolf serves as artistic director of Nickel Plate Players, which operates under the parent company of The Indiana Theatre Company. Among the shows he created was “Indiana The Musical” as part of the bicentennial celebration in 2016.

McNair to appear at St. Luke’s Christmas concert editorial@youarecurrent.com Two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Sylvia McNair will make a guest appearance at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church’s Christmas concert. There will be free performances at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 and 4 p.m. Dec. 2 at the church, 100 W. 86th St, Indianapolis.

“We host this concert as a gift to the community,” Rob Fuquay, senior pastor at St. Luke’s, stated in a news release. “Our choirs, ensembles and musicians work extremely hard preparing for this concert.

They offer it as a gift not just to our church but the entire community.”

Although it is free, attendees are invited to make a freewill offering during the concert, which will benefit a local immigration resettling support agency: the Immigrant Welcome Center. Funds received at the 2016 performances resulted in a $19,000 donation to a local food pantry.

The candlelight concert is called “Welcome Christmas! Sing a song of hope,” and includes several holiday classics.

tions,” Wolf said.

Wolf had been an actor much of his career, with a few favorite roles being Rooster Hannigan in “Annie” and Captain Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music.”

Hawkins began performing in community theater approximately six years ago after not having performed since high school.

“My mom (JoAnn Crum) did a show and I thought that looks like fun,” she said.

She had performed with Footlite Musicals, Civic Theatre and Theatre on the Square.

Thorne and Aaron Henze are co-producers of the show. Adam Allen is the associate producer and Anne Chesser Martin is the choreographer.

ATI presents ‘A Year with Frog and Toad’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com If you think “A Year with Frog and Toad” is kids’ stuff, think again.

Don Farrell, who will theater reprise his role as Toad in the musical presented by Actors Theatre of Indiana at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Nov. 25 and Nov. 26, said it appeals to adults “even if they don’t have children.”

“The characters of Frog and Toad define our contemporary storytelling selves, not just for children but for parents and any adult who later in life re-learn the critical importance of children’s tales,” said Farrell, ATI co-founder and artistic director. “The show does not talk down to the children, and the entertaining messages are not lost on the adults, especially today.

“In our busy lives, many of us are guilty of asking what personal gain we can achieve by our actions, but with ‘A Year with Frog and Toad,’ we silly humans can all take a lesson from these sweet amphibians to be kinder and more patient with those we care about and, perhaps, more importantly, with those we don’t. Now, isn’t that what the holidays are all about?”

Kyra Kenyon, left, and Don Farrell, center, reprise last year’s roles as Turtle and Toad, respectively.

Bradley Reynolds, right, who played Frog, is not in this year’s production and is replaced by John Vessels.

The acclaimed musical is based on the award-winning children’s books by Arnold Lobel and spins the tale of two good friends and their friendship through the four seasons of the year. The show was nominated for Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score during its run on Broadway in 2003.

For some youngsters, the musical will be their introduction to live theater.

“I really love seeing the sense of wonder

and joy in the children’s eyes,” Farrell said.

“Being able to share and perform stories about the value and importance of friendship, the lessons of patience, kindness, and acceptance of each other and our differences, looking out for one another ... sharing these important lessons and messages to an audience comprised of our children and our future is something I never get tired of.

Commentary by Mark Johnson Where to go: Copper Still Kitchen & Bar Where it is: 917 Conner St., Noblesville When it’s open: Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; Sunday, noon to 1 a.m.

Mark’s take: Everyone has heard of that very cool corner pub with a laid-back vibe, great food, great great drinks, televisions for the big games and live music. Copper Still is the perfect place to go with family, friends or just to enjoy the game and relax with a craft beer.

What to get: Copper Still offers a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers and sides. For me, though, nothing compares to the half-pound cheeseburger.

The end of the tailgate season Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley If you’re thinking déjà vu all over again, you’re right. You’ve seen a column like this before. In fact, every year about this time we write such a column to remind seasoned tailgaters and to show rookies how to end the tailgate season so that they are better prepared for next year. Here are some important points to remember: • Travel the length of your row in the parking lot, at the last game, and look for ideas and ask about things others use that you don’t have.

• After your last tailgate, clean each piece of equipment and check it for serviceability.

• Make a list of items you need to replace.

• Talk with this year’s guests at your tailgate parties and ask what they felt went well and what went wrong.

• Make a Christmas list and search the web for bargains.

If you take a December Saturday to clean up your equipment, there’s a recipe that will warm your heart and your stomach.

More homeowners staying put

Contemporary Dental Concepts

Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s official: Homeowners are staying put longer and moving less. At least, that’s the abbreviated summary of the WSJ study released last home improvment week. We’ve been experiencing this for a few years now, and the trend is considerably exacerbated by the tight home inventory market.

Frustrations are fueled by land use regulations, making it more difficult to build new homes and mega investors gobbling up hundreds or thousands of homes for rentals, thus precluding them from the market for new home buyers.

Conversations among industry professionals verify these thoughts. My real estate friends are selling plenty of homes, but a squeezed inventory is limiting success. My remodeling and patio/landscape friendly competitors are quite busy, too. It’s a frothy business climate!

Here’s another interesting trend, something that we are personally experiencing with a growing list of friends. Although we would like to downsize, the cost of the new and smaller homes on the market cost more than what we can sell our existing home for. So, moving would prompt additional debt or liquidating stocks to pay cash. Or …

COMMON STORY Consumer appetite for new debt, or lack thereof, is compelling many of us to stay put longer. And why not? Most of us love our homes and our neighbors, we just want ... (you can fill in your own blank). It could be an updated master bathroom or new kitchen. Many still dream of their future outdoor living space where everyone can

Did you know most prospective employers check your social media account as an unofficial grammar guy step in the job interview process?

Yikes. That means he or she probably scrolled through to see your late-night, all-caps rant about whichever political party you oppose, as well as your “Bachelorette” finale live-tweeting session (I can’t believe she picked him, either).

The same goes for basic grammar and spelling. Today I’m tackling five Facebook foibles and Twitter trip-ups that very well may prevent you from getting hired for the job you want.

If you’re looking for a great job, you need to know your grammar. Did you catch what I did there? Too often I see people use “your” when they should use “you’re.” Your is something you own or possess; you’re is the contraction (or mash up, as I like to call it) of “you” and “are.”

When you write “I hope the Colts don’t lose again,” you likely hope they score more points than the Patriots. When you

write “I hope the Colts don’t loose again,” you’re suggesting they remember to put on their belts so their pants don’t fall down. See the difference?

“There” names a place, thing or the existence of something: I think I left my chapstick over there. To check if you’re using “there” correctly, see if you can replace “there” with “here.”

“Their” shows possession: I can’t believe those chowder-eating cheaters the Patriots deflated their footballs. To check if you’re using “their” correctly, see if you can replace “their” with “our.”

“They’re” is a mash up of “they” and “are:” Huzzah, they’re having a sale on Burt’s Bees chapstick at Target! To check if you’re using “they’re” correctly, see if you can replace “they’re” with “they are.”

Yes, in addition to the topics of your social media posts, employers also look at the content of your characters.

Prague Castle displays architectural diversity Commentary by Don Knebel The “Guinness Book of World Records identifies” Prague Castle as the world’s largest castle. If a collection of buildings can be considered a castle, Prague Castle also deserves the record for the greatest architectravel tural diversity within a castle.

In the ninth century A.D., Duke Borivoj I, the first Christian ruler of Bohemia, fortified an 18-acre site atop a hill overlooking the Vltava River. A wall and a moat protected the palace and a few wooden residences, and Borivoj soon erected a stone church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In 920, Duke Vratislaus I built the Romanesque Basilica of St. George, which became a convent. Over time, Bohemian rulers added buildings and improved the fortifications. In the 14th century, the site became the seat of Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, who made the Prague Castle his residence and began construction of St. Vitus Cathedral, modeled on the great Gothic cathedrals of Western Europe. When the Habsburgs took up the Czech throne in 1536, they moved the seat of power to Vienna and used Prague Castle as their summer residence. After a major fire in 1541, they rebuilt sections of the castle in the Renaissance style and returned the imperial office to Prague. In the 18th century, Empress Maria Theresa added neoclassical buildings to the mix.

Today, Prague Castle is the official residence of the president of the Czech Republic. The Republic’s crown jewels, among the most valuable in Europe, are maintained in St. Vitus Cathedral, one of four churches currently extant within the Castle. Most of the castle is open to the public,

which enters through a Baroque gate flanked by 18th century statues of fighting giants. The gate is over what was originally a moat, with the castle now protected by guards wearing uniforms created by the Czech-born costume designer for “Amadeus.”

Test your smoke alarms — Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms can fail for reasons other than dead batteries. The sensors and other electrical parts inside them can deteriorate over time. So, it’s important to check them a couple of times a year. It is also important to replace them approximately every 10 years.
