Meeting set to discuss proposed sports structure

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Some Carmel residents and members of the City Council are raising concerns about a proposed 74-foot structure for dad’s club outdoor fields at the Carmel Dads’ Club on Main Street.

The Dads’ Club will appear before the Board of Zoning Appeals on Jan. 25 because city ordinances only allow buildings to reach 35 feet in height in that area.

Described as a “bubble,” this air-supported structure would allow for the outdoor fields at 5459 E. Main St. to be enclosed to protect against weather, allowing participants to play sports like soccer year-round.

Gary Hubbard, a homeowner who lives near the proposed site, said he worries about the look of the facility and its potential environmental impacts.

“As a community we are very concerned about the noise that these huge fans will be making 24/7 and even more concerned about what happens with regards to drainage,” he said. “We are already experiencing a drainage problem caused in part by the Dads’ Club fields, and now the land that absorbs that rain and moisture will be covered up adding to an already major problem. We like the Dads’ Club and all that they do for the community, and we hope they are looking at all the ramifications of this proposed addition.”

City Councilor Sue Finkam said she thinks this idea might be better suited for another Dads’ Club property.

“I love this idea but not in this location,” she said.

Police investigate credit card skimming incidents

By Audrey Bailey • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel area residents may want to think twice before using a credit or debit card at their local gas station.

In recent weeks, several cases of crime credit card fraud have been reported to Carmel police. These incidents occurred at a local gas station where a small, card-reading device called a skimmer had been placed inside one of the gas pump machines.

These digital readers are installed using some type of key, and then, likely after a station closes, the suspects return to remove the skimmer

and collect the data.

“It appears that everything is working normal on the machine, but the information is being stored in a skimmer until it’s retrieved and then hooked up to a laptop to try to recover those 16-digit numbers,” said Lt. Joe Bickel of the Carmel Police Dept.

Bickel said suspects may target gas stations that close as well as stations that do not have surveillance cameras installed. So far, Carmel police have been able to gather a few leads regarding possible suspects.

“It’s probably involving more than just one or two people,” Bickel said. “It’s probably a group

of individuals that we’re targeting to try and get more information on.”

At this time, the location of the gas station is not being disclosed. Bickel, however, had some words of advice and caution for Carmel residents who plan on paying at the pump.

“A simple thing to do is to be vigilant; make sure you’re reviewing your credit card statements, making sure all the credit card charges are correct,” he said. “If there is a charge, obviously notify your credit card company as soon as possible and contact the local police department. That way, we can investigate what we need to investigate on our side.”

Local Muslims condemn attacks

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Many people were angry after the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that took at least 129 lives.

Ashhar Madni, vice president of the board of trustees for the local Al Salam Foundation, said the Islamic community response is angrier than anyone else.

“We’re twice as mad,” he said. “We’re angry like anyone else because these are horrible attacks against innocent people who died, but we’re also angry because these attacks were carried out in the name of our faith.”

Madni said he wants to emphasize that these terrorists do not represent his religion.

“We condemn such attacks on innocent people. It does not represent Islam or any faith for that matter,” he said.

Currently, the Al Salam Foundation is renting a space at 96th Street and Michigan Road, but the organization is planning on building an Islamic center at 146th Street and Ditch Road in Carmel. The land has been purchased but plans are still preliminary.

Madni, who sits on the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Human Relations in Carmel, said he hopes people will look at all viewpoints in the wake of the tragedy. For example, he said he understands concerns about national security, but he said he trusts the U.S. screening process so he believes Syrian refugees should not be turned away.

“If you see it from the fugitive side, they are facing the same kind of persecution from these terrorists that others are facing,” he said. “It does not go well with the spirit of the nation.”

Carmel trying to recoup roundabout accident cost

9

DOG TRAINING CLASSES & IN-HOME TRAINING

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The City of Carmel plans to seek to recover costs from damages to the roundabout fountain at 4th Avenue and West Main Street after a recent automobile transportation accident.

The motorist, identified as Sangyong Lee, 50, of Carmel, was driving westbound in a Toyota Sienna and struck the roundabout fountain in the middle of the intersection around 11:05 p.m. Nov. 2. At least two witnesses saw Lee drive away from the scene, abandon the vehicle and flee on foot, according to information released by the city. Lee was quickly apprehended by Carmel police, arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

Lee’s blood alcohol content was 0.05 at the scene, which is below the legal limit of 0.08, according to police.

Police estimate the cost of the damages around $25,000, but it could be more. Damage was done to the exterior stone wall of the pool and to cap stones along the rim of the pool.

There could be potential electrical damage as

well. The City Legal Department has begun the process of filing a claim with the driver to recover the costs of repairing the fountain.

“The taxpayers of Carmel should not pay the cost of repairs when public property is damaged due to the carelessness or negligence of drivers in our city,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard stated. “When accidents destroy our city’s streets, curbs, lighting, landscaping or other structures such as the fountain at 4th and Main, we will seek damages and prosecute to the full extent of the law to recover our costs.”

How to Find the Right Family Law Attorney for You You have decided it is time to talk to a family law attorney. Sometimes that is the toughest decision to make. But now that you know you need or want legal advice, who do you hire?

It is common to feel desperate to find an attorney immediately after coming to the conclusion that you need or want a lawyer, but do not make the mistake that so many others have made in hiring your attorney based solely on timing and convenience. Frustration of hiring the wrong attorney can be avoided by finding the right family law attorney to assist you from the beginning. The following are things to keep in mind (and some good questions to ask) when you are selecting a family law attorney: 1. It is personal: The attorney-client relationship is a personal relationship---maybe more so in family law than in any other area of the law. Family law cases involve life’s most sensitive and delicate issues. The issues you will be discussing with your attorney are probably the most personal and sensitive you will ever experience. If you do not feel comfortable talking with the attorney, keep looking! Be selective. Your attorney should listen to you and to your needs. Your attorney needs to listen and make you feel confident that he/she is competent and capable or representing you; reassured that your questions and concerns have been addressed; and secure in your “game plan” as to how and when (and even if) the case is going to be handled from the time of initiation until the final resolution.

2. Concentration on Family Law: If you needed a heart transplant, you would not go to an optometrist…and you wouldn’t go to a general practitioner or “family doctor,” either.

You would go to a specialist---a cardiologist. The same is true with lawyers. Any attorney can claim to be competent to handle your divorce or help you with a custody case, etc., but you need someone whose practice is concentrated in family law. Find out the attorney’s level of concentration on family law by asking the following questions: • What percentage of your practice is dedicated to family law?

• How many cases have you had like mine? With my specific issues?

• Are you a member of the local (city or state) family law section of the bar association?

• Have you practiced in this particular county/court in the past?

3. Does your attorney have time for you? In your first meeting, if the attorney seems “too busy” to give you 100% of his/her attention, does not take time to answer all of your questions, or just does not seem to be listening to you--- keep looking! If you are still unsure of what the attorney’s commitment to your case will be at the end of your initial consultation, ask the following questions: • How many cases are you actively working right now?

• How many cases would you take at any given time? How many cases would you consider to be a “full workload?”

• Do you have a policy on returning phone calls/emails?

• How often will you communicate with me?

• Is it your policy to send me copies of all correspondence and/or documents you receive from the opposing counsel and/or the court?

4. Piranha or Peacemaker? Ok, so piranha is a bit extreme…but the idea is very important. Many clients are very angry when they first meet with family law attorneys, and they might believe that they “need a real fighter” on their side who will promise to legally “punish” the opposing party. If that is what you believe you need or want, you can certainly find a “piranha-type attorney” who will infuse more conflict into your case and will refuse to resolve even the simplest of issues without a battle. If you think that is the type of attorney you want to represent you, consider the following: • The only people who win in high-conflict cases are the attorneys…the more you fight with your spouse, the more money the attorneys make.

• Even though you might have to compromise to reach an agreement, you are in control of your future. You can determine what circumstances you can “live with.” Do you really want your future (and the future of your family and your children) to be determined by a judge who only has a few minutes to hear your life story before making a ruling?

• The negativity that is created during family law cases will make it extremely difficult to have any future dealings and involvement with the other party after the case is over. Civility cannot be underrated.

• If you have children, you have no excuse! Minimize the conflict in all ways possible for their benefit.

5. Let’s talk fees: Even though it might be an uncomfortable topic, it is absolutely necessary that you talk to the attorney about fees. You should have a fee agreement in writing from your attorney explaining in detail how the representation is going to work, how you will be billed, etc. If you do not understand something about the fee agreement, ask! You have every right to understand completely how you are agreeing to spend it! If you have concerns about the written fee agreement or find that it is not specific or clear, be sure to ask the following questions, at a minimum: • What is your hourly rate?

• What is the minimum time increment for recording your time?

• Will there be any other people in the firm that will be billing time on my case?

• What are the billable rates of any others that could potentially be working on my case?

• How often will I receive an invoice?

• If I have a question about an invoice, to whom should I direct my question?

• What methods of payment do you accept (i.e., credit cards, etc.)?

• What can I do to help keep my fees to a minimum?

• How much is my retainer? And, when my retainer is gone, what is your policy for additional payments after the retainer is gone?

Military club honors WWII vet

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com November is a month with holidays that focus on veterans and gratitude. The military club at Carmel High high school School decided it was the perfect time to thank World War II veteran Robert Swift for his service during a recent convocation.

“He’s a great guy. This is his second year coming to speak to us, and we tie his speech into the freshman’s scheduled Holocaust unit,” military club sponsor Serina Mergulhao said.

Swift, 90, lives in Carmel but was born in Connersville, Ind., and grew up on a farm in Fountain City. He enlisted in the war when he was 18 years old.

The Battle of the Bulge was the major battle that welcomed Swift into the war. He was a medic in the 71st Infantry and was among the first on the scene.

“We captured more prisoners than anyone else,” he said.

He tells stories of entering death camps and saving lives.

“Your job is to round them up and try to save their life,” Swift said, “I was one of the first ones into the death camps.”

Saving lives was a difficult task because of the extreme starvation situations the survivors found themselves in.

One story Swift shared was about a prisoner he helped save during the war. The survivor was a keynote speaker during a Holocaust Remembrance Day event at the Carmel Library around five years ago. Swift was able to connect with him and now shares a room with him every year at a World War II veteran reunion in Pennsylvania.

Band to appear in documentary In the Studio: April Willy

CARMEL

By Carolyn Martens • news@currentincarmel.com

By Michelle Williams news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel High School band program has been selected to appear in a national film documentary called “Marching Behigh school yond Halftime.”

Filmmaker Sara Flatow and executive producer Scott The Carmel High School band’s clarinet section McCormick expect to release the performs at Lucas Oil Stadium. (Submitted photo) completed film in early 2017 and plan to submit it to film festivals to initiate its distribution.

McCormick said a film crew was in Carmel to begin filming the band as it rehearsed and competed in the Bands of America Grand National Championships Nov. 11 to 14 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

At the film’s website, marchingbeyondhalftime.com, Flatow expressed the film’s goal is to raise awareness about the far-reaching impact of music education. She hopes to communicate that music education makes an impact in children’s lives far beyond football halftime entertainment.

McCormick said all bands at CHS will be featured in the film.

“We’ll also hear from Carmel alumni, talking about what band has done for their lives in terms of preparing for success,” he said. “There are a lot of very successful people who have been involved in music programs.”

The CHS band program may play a role in influencing budget decisions for arts education on both a state and national level. McCormick said the production team intends to send a copy of the film to each member of the U.S. Congress upon its completion.

He also said he has seen discussions reopened regarding budget appropriations within the Indiana Board of Education.

YOU DESERVE

ATTENTION

Award-winning local painter April Willy transforms blank canvas into atmospheric, light-filled worlds, alive with color and organic patterns.

How would you describe your work? “The imagery of my art is usually stylized landscapes, although I do some non-representational work also. I observe nature and then rearrange it to make it my Willy own.”

What’s your process? “I start in a traditional way; gesso on canvas or wood panel followed by layers of oil paint. I paint the farthest point back (the sky) and move forward to create depth and finish with foreground details.”

How did you get started? “As a small child, when crayons and paper weren’t nearby, I would draw on the wall with my mother’s lipstick! Later I went to Herron School of Art and spent more than 20 years working in illustration. Now I divide my time between illustration and painting.”

If your art were music, what would it sound like? “I love to paint to classical piano and violin, so I would pair it with music that is calm and peaceful.”

Artist Mic Mead finds inspiration from fallen tree to create award-winning work

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Many talented artists are said to find inspiration in nature.

Walking among the trees, leaves and the scenery along his 40 acres of property is where Mic Mead found his spark for an award-winning piece of art in the form of cover story a fallen ash tree.

Mead, 82, walks his property daily and would often find himself taking a break on the log.

“One day I looked at the stump. The stump was about 6 feet tall and split off at an angle. I noticed it was completely hollow,” Mead said. “As I got closer to it, I thought, ‘I'm going to do something with that tree,’ So, I cut it off. It was full of what looked like used mulch. Apparently the carpenter ants had hollowed it over the years.”

What Mead did with that tree was spend three years turning it into a one-of-a-kind craftsman-style table.

“I cut the stump off, got it sheltered where it could dry and power washed it. I had to dry it and think about what I wanted to do,” said Mead, who has a Carmel address but lives in Westfield.

Once the table was finished, Mead set about figuring out what to do with the large piece of art. While he enjoyed having it in his home, he thought he could find a better use for it. He did his research and found the Hoosier Salon in Carmel.

“The Hoosier Salon is a great organization in its 92nd year,” Mead said. “It was founded by T.C. Steele, who was a painter down in Brown County. (Its) goal is to build better relationships between Indiana's artists and to showcase their work.”

After joining the organization, his table, named “This Ash Lives,” was picked to represent three-dimensional art in the late summer show. The gallery director thought it might be nice to have a second piece of art from Mead, so he also entered a sculpture. Mead was surprised to find both of his pieces were

chosen for the show.

“About 174 pieces were accepted into the show,” Mead said.

“About a dozen of us got two pieces in. So, I was pretty proud.”

Juried artists are hired each year to choose items for the show.

“Two artists came in and chose all the work that got into the annual exhibition,” said Jim May, executive director of Hoosier Salon. “I think what they saw in his furniture piece was a pretty high level of refinement as far as craftsmanship skills.

The finishes were very well done. Beyond that, I think his conception of the piece was original. It’s interesting because he didn't do the craftsmanship on the base. That's all sort of done by nature, but he's the one who combined that natural element with the more industrial components.”

Mead won $1,000 and first place in the three dimensional category for “This Ash Lives” in the Hoosier Salon exhibit. This was the first year Mead exhibited work in the elite show.

The life of a craftsman Born in Indianapolis, Mead attended Purdue University and spent two years in the Navy and eight years in the reserves before starting a career that included building houses, beginning a carving company and selling backpacking equipment.

He employed up to 250 people at seven stores before turning the business over to the employees in 1995. That’s when he returned to the area.

“My wife's folks had built here where we live now,” Mead said. “They built the first day camp in America on their property starting in 1933. That grew into a camp that 15,000 (campers from the) north side of Indianapolis came to, but when they couldn't manage it anymore and needed to sell it, we tried to help them and instead ended up buying it.”

Mead has been a craftsman for all of his adult life, but art is his hobby. He has created sculptures and recently started painting. He began work on a second table from another tree

on his property.

“The wood was pretty wet when I got it,” Mead said. “I have to make sure it's really dry before I fit the pieces together and come to a final shape. It's going to be pretty artsy when it's done. I'll bet I spend another year or two on it.”

After a piece is done, he immediately begins thinking about the next piece and what he plans to do. Perhaps first, he’ll start with a walk.

But, ah-ha, Thanksgiving weekend is at hand, and we absolutely will take the opportunity to chill out. We hope you will, too.

With so much strife and sadness in our world today, it’s time we realize, no matter how burdened any of us might be (and that includes you, Hillary Clinton), we still have it far better than millions of others. Be appreciative of that.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Retiring minds

Commentary by Terry Anker

Even as we Americans are living longer, healthier lives well into our advanced years, the notion of retirement eludes definition more now than ever. The United Nations claims that those of us lucky enough to reside in the “more developed” world can expect lifespans well into our 80s. Under present expectations of traditional retirement from ages 62 to 65 years-old, we are on notice that our leisure could extend for 20 full years or more. Millions internationally retire even earlier.

So if we can look forward to having loads of high-quality, unencumbered time on our hands, retiring minds want to know – what will we do? Certainly, we collectively imagine a time when the routine troubles of the day are replaced with a greater focus on those things which we chose to undertake. But, is it possible to eliminate the mundane? Or, would we even want to if we could? It seems that I enjoy the routine of a morning coffee at home more now

than the diversity (and inconsistency) of a different ritual every day.

Is retirement the absence of work? Can we commit to the action of no action? Experts on such matters argue that those happiest post-formal-career are those among us who immediately turn their attentions to other projects. Meaning, one can surmise, that something is life and nothing is death.

Maybe imagined another way, we should march forward with a plan for the time after retirement that is as intentional as the time we spent in the work-a-day world. Golf, parttime work and volunteerism can serve to fill time. But satisfaction in these activities seems to come more from our objective in doing them than in the amount of time we spend pursuing. Can it be enough to pick a date without making a plan?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

– Audrey Hepburn

Prepare to be amazed, people, for I have figured out the secret to life! Or at least, the secret to predetermining the humor amount of time and money you’ll be investing when you child comes home and announces she wants to join the team.

I’ve had a great deal of time to think about this, and unfortunately, wasted too many hours wallowing in disappointment and bitterness. But my losses will be your gain so that you will never again wander blindly into an online sign-up without fully understanding to what hell you are committing.

See, the problem lies in the type of activity about which your precious little angel dreams. If he decides on soccer, basketball or football, you’re golden. These sports have seasons – easy to plan for and easy to get out of. Even when you land in the crazy world of club travel, at least you’ll know ahead of time that a game lasts two hours and that the side with the most points wins.

They key word here folks is game. A volleyball game, a lacrosse game. Games are good.

Games mean scores and time limits and referees. We like games. But have your ever heard of a dance game? Or a marching band game? No. And therein lies the key to eternal maternal happiness.

Because when you find yourself saying things like “Maddie has a dance competition this weekend” or “Andrew is going to a Tai Kwon Do tournament,” all bets are off. You’ll never understand why a stupid judge picked the barely-clothed tapper over your daughter after having spent 48 hours in the bowels of a local high school for seven total minutes of your child on stage. Or why Johnny won the sparring event even though your son clearly went Korean-medieval on the kid.

If you can’t insert the word game behind the competitive portion of your offspring’s activity, you’re doomed. Prepare to show them the money, leave most events feeling confused and frustrated, and waste whole weekends doing show hair or playing Angry Birds. Remember, “game” is good.

And, you’re welcome. Peace out.

Balance would be better Editor, I enjoy reading your Current in Carmel for several reasons but primarily to get a handle on the, how shall I put this, the “mood” of Carmelites? I assume that your editorial policy speaks for the majority of Carmel citizens.

I was interested in a recent letter to your publication that promoted the idea that Carmel should have a newspaper in the traditional sense like the Indy Star, for example. I came

up with several names for such: The Carmel Conservative Chronicle (or Courier). The Right Wing Router. The Tea Party Times.

I think you get my drift. I find quite obnoxious your one-sided political articles. If you plan to do a real newspaper, have some balance. Even the Star has liberal and moderate.

Thinking ‘bout Lincoln Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” was a comedy recording released on vinyl back in 1960. Newhart’s humor shtick was to enact one side of a conversation (often on the phone) in such a way that you could imagine what the other person might be saying on the other end. So why is this iconic comedian (who is still performing at age 86) in my thoughts this week? All because of a passing remark by presidential candidate Jeb Bush, frustrated by conflicting advice he is getting from his consultants and advisors. “If Lincoln were running today,” jabbed Jeb, “someone would be telling him to shave off the beard.”

Sorry, Jeb, but Bob Newhart was way ahead of you on this – precisely 55 years before you.

“I was thinking,” said Newhart as he begins his brilliant monologue, “what if there was no Lincoln back during the Civil War, and the advertising executives had to create one?”

Then, Newhart, playing a “Mad Men” ad executive, chides Abe for thinking about changing his appearance: “The beard, shawl, stovepipe hat, and string tie are all part of the image,

Abe.” He asks Lincoln not to type his speeches but to write them on the backs of envelopes.

“We want it to look like you wrote it while on the train.”

Then he discovers that Lincoln has been busy editing his upcoming address at Gettysburg: “You made a few changes?” questions an exasperated Newhart (long pause while he listens to Lincoln’s response). “You say you changed four score and seven to 70? That would be like Marc Antony saying, ‘Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I’ve got something I want to tell you.’” Then Newhart says to Lincoln, “Please leave it the way Charlie wrote it.”

Listening to this classic sketch on YouTube doesn’t have quite the same charm it did when I first heard it on my Victrola. But I have no way of truly comparing those two experiences, since I no longer have a record of it. ( The full version of this column is available at www.currentinwestfield.com)

Santa, singing and more at ISO’s Yuletide Celebration

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com

There’s a long Santa’s list of things to like about the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s annual IPL Yuletide Celebration.

But what dancer/singer/ family fun choreographer Anne Beck cherishes the most is the reaction she sees from the children in the audience “I can see the joy in their eyes,” said the Fishers performer, who will be making her ninth consecutive appearance in the proBeck gram. “To be an elf onstage and see them giggle … to be in a gown and see that look that kids get in their eye like when they see a Disney princess for the first time … to see and hear their giddiness when the Tap Dancing Santa’s enter the stage … that’s magic.

“To do this show for kids and their families and to see their joy is so very rewarding.”

Opening Dec. 4 and continuing through Dec. 23, “IPL Yuletide Celebration” returns to Hilbert Circle Theatre for the 30th time.

Vocalist Sandi Patty is back as host and Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the ISO. A huge cast of singers and dancers present a program that includes last year’s Disney’s “Frozen” segment, including “Let it Go,” and Yuletide Jukebox, featuring a medley of pop holiday tunes such Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Two longtime favorites, the reading of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and the popular Tap Dancing Santa’s also return.

Despite the repetition of guaranteed favorites in the program, Beck says the show never gets old.

“While certain elements are repeated, the entire show, on the whole, changes so it is easy to keep things fresh,” said Beck, a fulltime professor and instructor at Ball State’s acclaimed theater and dance department. “Being on Broadway and on national tours and doing the same show for years at a time, you learn how to keep things new fresh every night that curtain goes up.

“Then, there are always new cast members each year who

help bring the show new excitement.”

In addition to dancing in the show, Beck is co-choreographer, assisting choreographer Jen Ladner with creating the movement. Once the steps are taught, she works with the cast to clean up, tighten, clarify, polish and help make the songs and dances come to life.

Beck is no stranger to the ISO, having been involved with or performed in several Pops concerts. She also has performed in several of its musicals, including “Guys and Dolls” with Hal Linden, “Hello Dolly” with Gary Beach and Sandi Patty and “Hairspray” with John Waters and Micky Dolenz.

While spending 14 years in New York City, she performed on Broadway, with national Broadway tours and in regional theaters across the country.

Now living in Indiana, she has appeared on the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre stage as Mimi in “Rent” and Cassie in “A Chorus Line,” has choreographed several shows for Civic and directed the Carmel theater’s “Cat in the Hat.” She currently is choreographing Civic’s “Mary Poppins” and, as the resident choreographer for the Indianapolis Men’s Choir, working on its

holiday show, as well.

Her proudest “production” however, is her daughter, Nya, a first grader at Lantern Road Elementary.

Q and A with Anne Beck Beck is the director of Civic Theatre’s production of Mary Poppins news@currentincarmel.com Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre veteran Anne Beck returns this season to direct Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins,” running from Dec. 11 theatre Jan. 2. To read the entire interview and reserve your tickets to “Mary Poppins,” visit civictheatre.org.

Q: Why do you return to Civic?

A: As a director and choreographer, I love returning because of the value and top quality casts. I get to work with numerous artists of great caliber and heart. My “Mary Poppins” cast, for example, is an entire group of extremely talented people who are also just incredibly good human beings. And hardworking! The City of Carmel deserves a fantastic, top-notch theatrical experience and Civic's shows provide that. I love being a part of that team committed to giving the community quality theatre.

Q: What can audiences expect from “Mary Poppins?”

A: With “Mary Poppins” (as PL Travers says, you are NEVER to call her just Mary), I am working hard to bring about the magic of Disney, the magic of Mary Poppins in all her

charm and the heart of telling the story of George Banks and his family. The real beauty in this magical show lies in Travers’ original writing. You are suddenly in the midst of magic and fantasy, but it is so seamless, you didn't know until you were already in it. Her books are written that way, so transferring that quality is truly magical on the live stage.

Q: Anything else you’d like to share?

A: Yes. Do not miss this wonderfully witty, charming and warm musical. Our set is beautiful, and the musical numbers are show-stopping songs you will have in your head for days. And remember ... there are lots of surprises and magic waiting to be seen ... because "anything can happen if you let it!"

CCP presents Christmas show for the whole family

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentincarmel.com Since the 1980s, playwright Ken Ludwig has wowed audiences with works like the Tony Award-winning farce “Lend Me A Tenor,” in addition to “Crazy for You,” “Moon theatre Over Buffalo,” “Shakespeare in Hollywood” and more. But it was a longtime labor of love of brewing up bedtime stories for his own two children that led the 65-year-old Washingtonian to write something completely different – a children’s show.

Ludwig Carmel Community Players will present Ludwig’s holiday story of a mouse, an elf and a little girl who save Christmas – “Twas the Night Before Christmas” – Dec. 4-12 at the Carmel Community Playhouse.

“The show is a fun, family-friendly comedy, and we thought it would be different and entertaining for the community,” said director Marcus Waye. “It’s a fairly new show – it was first performed in 2011 – so, we are looking forward to presenting a fresh, unique Christmas show for our audiences, one that most likely they have never seen before.”

Young and old are probably familiar with the

Clement Moore holiday poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” which first appeared in print in 1823. The play that isn’t really about the poem, but elements of it – the “Twas the Night Before Christmas” stockings will be on stage in December with The Carmel Community Plays. (Subare hung mitted image) by the chimney with care – are woven in.

In the story, an angry elf named Sir Guy (played by Anthony Johnson) steals Santa’s sleigh and sells it to Walmart, then swipes Santa’s Naughty and Nice list, putting Christmas in jeopardy. A neurotic mouse named Amos (Sabrina Duprey), Amos’ best friend

“While the play skews toward the kids, there’s a lot of sly humor that adults will enjoy, too,” said Waye. “We’ve also added some sight gags that will make it fun for all ages.”

‘Wonderful’ classic comes to life

27

Start a New Family Tradition! DECEMBER 4 – 20, 2015

news@currentincarmel.com This holiday season, Carmel Theatre Company will bring new life to the classic family film, “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

This first-time production theatre opens on Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. and will continue every weekend through Dec. 13. Those who come out to see the performance will be among the first to witness this unique take on a seasonal staple.

“The structure is that these people are actually reading the lines from “It’s a Wonderful Life” for people who are listening to it on the radio,” June Clair, co-producer of the play said.

“My husband, John, is doing the design set, and it will actually be like it’s on the radio.”

Sydney Loomis, a 15-year theater veteran and fan of director Jan Jamison’s work, will be playing the lead role of George Bailey. “‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is my favorite movie of all time ever made. And the gal who’s directing it, Jan Jamison, I’ve done a lot of shows under her direction,” Loomis said. “She told me she was going to be doing this show a year and a half ago, and I said, ‘Oh my gosh, let me know when auditions are because I would love to audition for the role of George Bailey.’”

Sydney Loomis looks at old production photos.

According to Clair, director Jamison was the person responsible for bringing the script to Carmel Theatre Company. Now, under her direction, the play is looking to sell out and attract the author, Philip Grecian, along with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, who will be making a surprise walk-on appearance during one of the shows. Tickets $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. For more, visit carmeltheatrecompany.com.

I love kale because it is a powerhouse! But, for a long time I struggled with recipes that my kids would not run away from! Kale sautéed with salt/pepper, garlic and lemon has become a household favorite. Recently I was trying to graduate my boys from the sautéed kale and move them forward to the next level: kale salads! I was so thrilled when I found this delicious, colorful and tasty salad recipe that is going to make you want to go for seconds!

This Thanksgiving you will be surprised to have many kale converts at your dinner table with this hearty salad. Great side for turkey.

Note: Kale is a powerful superfood! It is loaded with high amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and is anti-carcinogenic.

Serves: 5 Ingredients: 2 cups peeled, cubed butternut or other winter squash (you can find it at Trader’s Joe), extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 bag (10 oz.) kale, stem removed and leaves finely sliced, 1/4 cup almonds or hazelnuts, cut roughly in half, 1/4 cup crumbled or finely chopped Collier’s Welsh Cheddar (Trader’s Joe) or parmesan, fresh lemon Directions: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss squash cubes in just enough oil to coat and

season with salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet, leaving space between the cubes. Roast them until tender and caramelized, about 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula every 10 minutes. Toast the nuts on a baking sheet in the same oven until they start to smell nutty, tossing every few minutes. Let cool. In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale with the almonds, cheese, and squash.

Season to taste with lemon juice about 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a festive salad bowl.

Thanksgiving week games

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley In the words of the late and great Yogi Berra, reading this column you may think “it’s déjà vu all over again.” And since every year we seem to have pro, college and some high school games on Thanksgiving week, you may recognize we write a column about this particular week every year.

This year will be no exception. This season we have a new recipe for turkey soup.

TURKEY SOUP Ingredients: Turkey meat, carcass, drippings, skin and non-liver giblets, seasonings for stock: one yellow onion, chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, celery, pepper corns, salt and pepper, 8 medium carrots with tops, onions, 6 celery stalks with tops. Seasonings for the finished soup are poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube., 2 garlic cloves.

Making Stock: Remove all the usable turkey meat (dark is more flavorful) from the turkey carcass to save it for adding to the soup.

Break up the larger leftover bones of the carcass enough so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stockpot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add drippings that weren’t used to make gravy and giblets that haven’t been used. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, 3 medium chopped carrots with tops, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, 1 celery stalk chopped and the tops of all the celery stalks, and some peppercorns.

Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat so liquid barely simmers. Skim off any floaties as they rise to the surface of the stock. Add about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, depending on how big your turkey is.

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

-Janice H.

by Philip Grecian Take your leftovers and make delicious turkey soup. (Submitted photo)

Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered, so as the stock reduces, occasionally skim-off any foam from the surface.

Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a mesh strainer.

Making the turkey soup: With stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning – poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Take plenty of the remaining turkey meat you reserved earlier, cube it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge.

Game Day: The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Now heat the soup to a simmer. Cook a large bag of soup egg noodles and add to the soup. Serve in mugs with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.

Claudia Mendez had a clothing line in her native Bolivia.

Yet when she married an Indiana native and moved to Carmel in September 2014, she wasn’t sure of her new business next step.

“I kept thinking, ‘what am I going to do, and how am I going to reinvent myself?’” Mendez said. “After exploring a few options, I decided to continue with what I know.”

Mendez met Garrett Curry, founder and creative lead of Raygun Workshop, and he has helped her bring her company to the U.S. with a new name and brand. Raygun Workshop focuses on branding and creating websites.

Ella Ember is an online retailer of alpaca outerwear, sweaters, scarves, vests, jackets and shawls. Ellaember.com launched the second week in November.

Mendez started a company in 2003 in Bolivia, which she still runs.

“We sold in the U.S. for a long time,” Mendez said. “We came to Magic, which is the largest fashion trade show here in the states in Las Vegas. We did that for years. We had an interesting, growing portfolio of customers here in the U.S. Then the (financial) crisis hit in

2008 and 2009, and on top of that, we lost our trade preferences. So we stopped selling here, but our business still continued. We opened our own shop in Bolivia and focused on the European market ever since.”

Mendez said she was helped by attending start-up and entrepreneurial events.

“That’s how I started to meet people that made me comfortable to start a company here,” Mendez said. “I have a network to do that.”

Dispatches Home prices rise – F.C. Tucker Company reported average home sale prices in the ninecounty central Indiana region rose 4.3 percent in October 2015 compared to October 2014, while active listings declined 7.6 percent in the same period.

Home prices averaged $184,637, which is more than $7,500 higher than the average price of homes in October 2014. Hamilton County had the highest average sale price of all nine counties at $277,048.

The holiday season is a great way to connect with friends and family you haven’t seen in a while. But all of that travvitality eling — changing time zones, germs on the plane, hours of sitting and general life stress — can really take a toll on you.

To minimize jet lag, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day so your body knows when to wake you up. Minimize caffeine and alcohol because these drugs interfere with your daily rhythm.

Airports are where all the germs go to hang out. Keep your body’s defense system strong by eating a vegetable (colorful things), a protein (like chicken, turkey, ground beef or tofu) and a healthy fat (like avocado, olive oil or your favorite nut) at every meal.

Sitting can put a lot of stress on your back and neck. The best medicine here is movement; get up and move around whenever possible. If prolonged sitting is unavoidable, take a deep breath and exhale as much air as you

can. Picture you’re blowing out a 100-candle birthday cake. After that, find and feel your two “sit bones” underneath your butt muscles, letting them sink into the seat. Do the same thing with your back. If you let your seat support you, your back won’t get so tight.

If your family stresses you out — I’m not the only one that happens to, right? — get away for some exercise. Try this short exercise program: 20 bodyweight squats, 10 push ups with your hands on the bed and 10 lunges on each leg. Do that as many times as you can (shoot for at least four). Support yourself with your hands if need be. When you’re done, meditate for five minutes to clear your mind. I promise you’ll feel like a new person.

Remember: your oxygen mask goes on first. Take care of yourself, then spread your holiday joy.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cosmetic kitchen remodel on a budget Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a bright and airy bathroom with a spa-like feel.

1. A large custom shower with a glass enclosure allowed the room to remain bright and spacious.

2. The separate toilet room was eliminated making the room feel significantly larger.

3. The tub deck and countertops were replaced with durable and low maintenance quartz.

4. White cabinetry with chrome fixtures helped contribute to the spa feel desired by the homeowners.

5. Stacked cabinetry and a drawer stack provided additional storage at the vanities.

6. Bright paint and new custom lighting contributed to the transitional style and overall feel of the space.

Before

Background Info: This home is located on the north side of Zionsville. Built 23 years ago, the master bathroom needed a fresh new custom update.

Before problems: The outdated bathroom was dark and overall very cramped for space. The oversized green cultured marble soaking tub was too large for the space and made the small room feel even smaller. The faucet leaked and did not function properly. The large window was underutilized because of its inconvenient bolt_half_page_ad_Layout 1 11/17/15 8:20 AM Page 1 location.

Children’s Bell Tower, near Bodega Bay, Calif. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Bodega Bay’s Thanksgiving Bells Commentary by Don Knebel

The picturesque towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay, along the Pacific Coast Highway about 70 miles north of San Frantravel cisco, are famous as the location of “The Birds,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror movie. Visitors coming to photograph the movie’s featured Potter School often overlook a nearby expression of gratitude following a different kind of horror.

In 1994, the Green family from Bodega Bay was vacationing in southern Italy. Two armed robbers attacked the family car, shooting 7-year-old Nicholas in the head. When Nicholas died two days later, his parents donated his heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and cornea, benefiting seven Italians. Because Italians at the time were not organ donors, this act of generosity caught the attention of the Italian press and soon led to a dramatic increase in organ donations in Italy, a result attributed to the “Nicholas effect.”

The Italian public was so touched by the Greens’ act of kindness in the face of griev-

ous loss that families, individuals, schools and churches began sending bells to the family as expressions of gratitude. A large bell was sent by the Marinelli Foundry in Agnone, Italy, which has been making bells for the Pope for more than 1,000 years and is one of the three oldest family businesses in the world. The bell, blessed by Pope John Paul II, includes the names of the recipients of Nicholas’ organs.

San Francisco sculpture Bruce Hasson assembled the 140 bells onto a wooden frame along Highway 1 just north of Bodega Bay. Called “The Children’s Bell Tower,” the memorial honors Nicholas Green and all the children of the world whose lives have been cut short by violence. It also gives thanks to the generosity of the Green family, who recognized that the tragic death of their son could give others a chance for a better life.
