Gov. Holcomb on drug epidemic: ‘All hands on deck’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Gov. Eric Holcomb first took the stage at Conner Prairie for a legislative breakfast targeted toward county chamberpolitics of-commerce members, it was all laughs.

He joked about his collection of presidential autographs – lacking Washington, the first Adams and Lincoln – and about his height.

As the laughter died down, WTHR-13 reporter Kevin Rader brought issues to the surface, beginning with the recent pardon of Keith Cooper. On Feb. 9, the governor pardoned Cooper, a Chicago man Holcomb believed was wrongly convicted for a 1996 Elkhart armed robbery.

“I respect where previous governors landed on this issue, but I thought for myself it’s never too late to do the right thing,” Holcomb said.

“I thought this gentleman was innocent and, with all respect to our system, this authority is unique to a governor, and I acted. I did what I considered to be the right thing.”

Holcomb said he thought about the case every day for the past month, and that he was “110 percent sure” Cooper was wrongfully convicted.

Moving on from Cooper, Holcomb explained how he granted East Chicago a disaster declaration for the West Calumet neighborhood, where approximately 99 residents will be relocated due to lead contamination.

However, the two largest topics during Holcomb’s time were infrastructure and the statewide drug epidemic.

Because Indiana is the Crossroads of America, Holcomb said the phrase is more than just the state’s motto. He mentioned a 20-year plan involving roads, bridges and all other modes of transportation connecting the state to the rest

of the nation and the world.

“I think we are all in agreement it needs to be a long-term plan, a 20-year plan that gets us to the right place,” Holcomb said. “A lot will change in the world over a 20-year period. We can’t just pour a bunch of money into concrete.

We do need to make sure we are not just maintaining but finishing projects and then addressing new ones that come our way, too. We can’t do that unless we have a long-term, sustainable program in place.”

When Rader asked Holcomb about the drug epidemic, Holcomb said it was “bad enough that all hands are needed on deck.”

“No matter where you are in any of the 92 counties, and you realize half of all obituaries are drug-related, something has happened,” Holcomb said. “I saw a sign outside a business in the state of Indiana that said, ‘We do not drug test, now hiring.’ That’s where we are today, so this is not just a personal crisis, this is a business crisis as well. We have to get this right, and it will require all hands on deck at every level – state, especially local, and federal hands all working together or we will continue to see story after story after story and not just budget strain, but lives lost.”

Holcomb said that although prevention might be the way to fix the epidemic, treatment must be a priority.

“We need to make sure our efforts are aligned and that we are getting folks focused on the prevention, on the treatment and on the enforcement, all three fronts,” he said. “We will have to do more to make sure people get the help they need to get on the path for recovery.

We have to have more providers available on the local level. It’s going to need a lot of follow up.”

You Can Age-Proof Your Brain – At Any Age

written by Chef Wendell Fowler

“Processed foods and any foods that are hyperallergenic can take a toll on brain health,” says Medical Daily. The Journal of Clinical Investigation reported high-fat processed food consumption can damage the hypothalamus, part of the brain responsible for regulating hunger and thirst. A study in Neurology reported a high intake of trans fat is linked to brain shrinkage.

It’s never too late in life to consciously avoid or limit consuming these foods.

You can age-proof your brain at any age.

There are several diseases and injuries that can affect the brain, including meningitis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. For optimal brain health, it is recommended that people eat leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and beans, to get enough brain-friendly vitamins like Omega 3 EFA’s from nuts or fish,

B-complex, D-3, zinc and lots of nutrients from leafy green vegetables.

We know the root of all health is in the brain – so at Westminster Village North, we offer MemoryMeals – brain healthy recipes designed to slow cognitive decline.

Call to learn more about our continuing care retirement community. Schedule lunch or dinner and enjoy a tasty Memory Meal recipe.

Al Jarreau, a servant of Christ, died last week at the age of 76, one week after he retired. It almost seems fitting that faith this seven-time Grammy winner would die the day of the Grammy’s and on a Sunday. I am not a person who is impressed by celebrity, but I have to say that I was always impressed by Al’s life, both with his music and the way he presented himself.

On receiving another award, he once famously explained his success by saying, “Work hard, then dream hard, then work some more, and keep God in your life. You’ll be alright.

That’s what this is about.” Great advice for all of us.

Al, like many of the singers we admire, grew up in church, where his father was the pastor and his mother the pianist. He learned his Christian lessons well, and his life was a reflection of his faith. His music was an extension of who he was as a child of God. In a statement on his website after his death, it was said that Al’s “second priority in life was music. There was no third. His first priority, far ahead of the other, was healing or comforting anyone in need … He needed to see a warm,

Down the ‘Rabbit Hole’ Geist’s Michelle Moore directs new Mud Creek production

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Pulitzer Prize-and Tony Award-winning play “Rabbit Hole” by David Lindsay-Abaire is on stage now through March 4 at Mud Creek Barn in Geist and features Geist resident and director Michelle Moore at the helm.

Premiering in 2006 on Broadway, Moore said the community theater production, which saw a film adaptation in 2010, is exciting because of its “powerhouse cast.”

“The play starts off several months after a couple’s son has passed away, so everyone in the family is on the road to recovery,” Moore said. “It really is an ensemble cast.”

The five-member cast of all local folks includes Holly Hathaway of Greenfield and Robert Webster, Jr., of Indianapolis playing wife and husband Becca and Howie, a couple in their late 30s who are coping with the loss of their son, Danny.

“What happens is it sort of very subtly takes you on this journey with them just getting to where they can start getting ready to breathe again through where they can actually look forward and say, ‘What comes next?’” Moore said.

Kimberly Bieberstein of Fishers plays Izzy, Becca’s sister, who is grasping the idea of having a child of her own. Noblesville resident Jen Otterman plays Nat, mother to Becca and Izzy, and Kyle Dorsch of Fishers plays Jason, a 17-year-old, who is responsible for Danny’s death.

“I had an enormous turnout for auditions, which is unique for any community theater because nobody’s getting paid, ” Moore said. “This is such a bucket-list play for so many actors, so I had an embarrassment of riches not just from how to pick someone who could handle it, but which of these many people now make sense together as a family? Not only do they look great together, the women in the play sound a lot like family.”

Rehearsals began at the beginning of January. Moore said she was drawn to the play mostly because of the writing.

“This play is very unique in the way that it’s written. It’s such a heavy subject matter, but it’s meant to be a nice, entertaining, kind of funny story about the human spirit and how people manage to get over even the hardest thing,” Moore said. “That’s really what the story is about. It’s got to be fast-moving, and it’s got to be funny.

“It’s such a well-crafted story, the fact that he can take such a heavy subject matter and turn it into something that is so entertaining. It’s really unusual. This is more humorous in the way that you can recognize yourself and your family members in these characters."

Moore expects audience members will look at the characters and be able to see similarities to their own lives, particularly with the sister-sister and mother-daughter dynamics, but also the dynamic between the relationship put under stress between Becca and Howie.

“It doesn’t try to tell us everything is OK. It just basically says, ‘You know what? They’ve got some grounding now, and they’ve got a way to go forward,” Moore said. “It’s really beautiful.”

“I do all of my nonprofessional acting and theater work almost exclusively at Mud Creek.

I found my way to Mud Creek in my early 20s and fell in love and have been there ever since."

Moore is a past-president of the Mud Creek Players and has served on the board several times.

“I’ve done a little bit of probably every single thing there is to do there, from swishing out the toilets to being a pivotal part of major improvements to the facility,” she said.

Now, she said most of her time at the barn is spent producing, occasional acting and as an assistant director to aid upcoming directors.

“Teaching is such a big cornerstone of what we do (at Mud Creek),” Moore said.

“It’s actually a big part of our nonprofit status and how we maintain it. We do so much with theater education, but the thing I’m probably most proud of is we have a teen theater program that’s entirely free for any kids that want to be a part of it.”

Aside from Mud Creek, Moore works as a talent and casting director for Artistic Enterprises – her family’s business since 1987 – where she hires actors and models for commercials, corporate films and more.

On a personal note, she met her husband, Collin, at Mud Creek, where he proposed. Together they have two kids, Christopher, 20, and Alaina, 15, both actors.

Moore’s next directing project at Mud Creek will be in spring 2019 when the theater will celebrate it’s 30th anniversary of when it produced “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Unsolicited advice is best unspoken

Gas tax hike will be helpful

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s easy to say we should look for spending cuts in our current budget to fund our infrastructure needs, but the fact is that after 12 years of sound fiscal leadership, our state budget is about as lean as it can get.

We have 20 percent fewer state employees than we had when Gov. Mitch Daniels took office in 2005. And more than half of our current state budget goes to K-12 Education, so any significant increase in spending for infrastructure would likely result in less funding available for public education. We do have about $2 billion in reserves, but that equates to less than 60 days of state spending. That amount is intended to help us through an economic downturn, so spending it down significantly is not prudent. And it contributes to our AAA bond rating, which saves local governments hundreds of millions of dollars. The proposed tax increases in HB 1002 will cost the average Hoosier driver just $5.25 per month. We’re already known as the Crossroads of America, and I believe that the proposed improvements in our state infrastructure will be a great economic development incentive that eventually will increase state tax revenue. I believe the return on investment will more than offset the small contribution that we are looking for from Hoosier taxpayers. It’s a small sacrifice in comparison to the significant tax cuts that House Republicans have spearheaded over the last decade including, among others, significant cuts in the property tax, reducing the personal income tax, elimination of the inheritance tax, and a host of business tax cuts that save consumers money.

Will we need a super substitute?

Commentary by Terry Anker The Super Bowl is now behind us. Plays have been made, heroes elevated and shadows cast. The football history books have been adjusted. The wags have had their chance to comment — and comment some more. The T-shirts have been printed, distributed and sold. The commercials have been seen — and seen, and seen. Regardless of one’s favorite in the big game, few can argue that it did not deliver. It was exciting to the end. It zigged and zagged. It lived up to its hype. Even the halftime show met its lofty buildup!

But now that the nacho sauce has been cleaned from the davenport, and the beer cans recycled, many have already started planning for next year. A bigger TV? Perhaps.

Maybe we won’t invite the in-laws again.

Maybe we must. The food, the sofa, the guest list — all are being considered and reconsidered. Who will play almost doesn’t matter. Sure, it would be best if our own Indianapolis Colts took the field. Certainly,

they will give their all to take us there. But regardless, most of us will gather again with friends, food and a television to commune with the football world.

It is a tradition. We remember the good times, and bad, from years past. We relive our experiences together and bond in our common memories. Yet, football, like everything, has its detractors. Legitimate concerns are being raised about concussion risks and a variety of other matters. Some indications are that young kids are not taking up the sport, preferring instead soccer or other activities. Will it still captivate our attention and dominate the ratings in the years to come? Who knows? If not, will we find a super substitute for a super tradition?

As long as we are doing it together, whatever the game, we can learn the rules.

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

A few days ago, my neighbor shared that someone — some awful, mean-spirited woman — criticized her parenting ... to her humor face! How dare you, ma’am! And so I am forced to remind us all of the seldom-discussed but no less critical rules of mom-to-mom communication. Please take note.

• Never express your true feelings about another parent’s choices directly to that person. Vent it out with your spouse or best gal pal, but keep that schtick locked down until you’re back at the house.

Unless she solicits advice, I promise she does not want a lecture on why “breast is best” or any of that other Nazi-lactation stuff while she’s barely hanging on thanks to Similac. What’s good for your family may not be good for hers.

• Before you speak, put yourself in her position. Remember the days of no sleep and endless diapers and 24/7 anxiety over going back to work vs. staying home? None of us can think rationally when we’re hopped up on caffeine and internet tales of “How Working Moms Produce Serial Killers.” Let Rule No. 1 be your mantra, and then ask if there’s anything you can do to help.

• Recognize that all families have different needs that must be met for them to function even a tad bit normally. For some, it’s ensuring only organic food hits the table, while for others, canned spaghetti makes a perfectly nice sit-down dinner. As long as the kids are eating something, the sun will rise tomorrow!

Bottom line? Homeschooling, helicopter parenting, Harvard-tracking in preschool ... these are decisions every mom has the right to make without your consent! Unless a choice directly harms you or your kid, zip it.

Peace out.

‘Your comments are sexist and discriminatory’ Editor, I am writing in response to your insensitive article in Jan. 31, 2017, Current in Carmel.

You completely trivialized the Women’s March, something you obviously know little about.

The Women’s March is a closed group, yet by last count it was attended by 750,000 men, women (myself included), children, the elderly, and the handicapped in Washington, D.C. Numerous other states as well as all seven continents participated in what is considered the largest, peaceful demonstration in U.S. history.

As a past (I hope) member of the Indiana Humanities Council Board, you have trivialized a humanitarian issue. The mission of the Indiana Humanities Council: “connect people, open minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk.”

If you had researched the Women’s March, you would have found one underlying theme:

equality for all in all areas of life. In addition, why would you think that the individuals that attended the march “made a bit of noise and then went home?” There is a 10 Actions, 100 Days agenda that went into effect immediately after the march. This is just the beginning.

Your comments are sexist and discriminatory. I wonder if you even realize how many women in influential positions in Carmel attended the Washington, D.C. march? Would you recognize a real Burberry scarf from a knock-off? What was the point of that comment, anyway, and how is it germane to your argument?

You owe all participants of all the women’s marches a public apology. I expect to see it printed in next week’s Current.

Cutting-edge success: Brown explores music, salons

By Heather Collins Kiss Kiss Bang Bang salons are a mash-up of punk rock and hair fashion. profile Founded in 2006, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has locations in Fishers, Carmel and Fullerton, California. According to co-founder Mike “Cheez” Brown, KKBB Fishers is the top grossing and netting salon in the country per square foot. The Carmel location is in the top 10.

Brown grew up in Kokomo and said he didn’t learn to read until 10th grade. His mother died when he was 9 years old, and his father died seven years later.

At 16, Brown moved to Los Angeles to pursue music and immersed himself in the punk rock scene, making connections with a growing list of famous friends, including Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Kid Rock, Madonna and members of Guns N’ Roses and Rage Against the Machine.

“My greatest asset in life has been my ability to form deep relationships that have turned into the breeding ground for great opportu-

nity,” Brown said. “As a kid not being able to read, I had to figure out other ways.”

Slash of Guns N’ Roses, Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance and Big Time Rush are only a few of the celebrity clientele who have visited the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Fishers location and made their mark on the wall of fame in the back of the bluehued salon.

Brown is band manager for The Dirty Heads and Sublime with Rome and owns restaurants, tattoo shops and management companies throughout the U.S., including The Gypsy Den in California (with co-owner Ryan Shuck of Orgy) and Club Tattoo in Phoenix and Las Vegas (with Chester Bennington of Linkin Park).

Brown manages the salons and bands in the same way, pushing an entrepreneurial spirit and banning gossip and negative talk.

“It’s a lifestyle and a philosophy and a way of life that we live by,” Brown said.

“It’s about teaching people to do their best.”

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre to offer two new mini camps

Camp Invention connects children to science, inventors

Commentary by Civic Theatre’s education programs director, Holly Stults Haas

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre is gearing up for another great summer. Musical Theatre Camp is a favorite, and with two brand new camps, Civic has something for any kid ages 3-14. We are excited to offer two new mini camps for our preschool-aged and kindergarten friends.

BROADWAY BABY CAMP Broadway Baby Camp gives our 3- and 4-year-olds a chance to shine and explore the world of musical theater and story telling.

Music and movement is also a part of this camp, allowing for them to move and groove while using their imagination. This camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

SUPERHERO STORIES Superhero Stories also is a new mini camp for us. In this camp, each child will create their very own superhero and bring that character to life. Will capes be involved?

Most likely! We have no doubt that the 5- and 6-year-olds in this camp will create amazing adventures. Superhero Stories Camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

Camp Invention, a program by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, will offer week-long sessions for kids beginning in June.

“Camp Invention connects children to inventors who changed the world, and enhances the scientific knowledge base of participants,” said Ashley Miller, media coordinator at the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame. “The program hooks children and gives them high-energy, hands-on, innovative fun, while presenting them with challenges that emphasize STEM, collaboration and entrepreneurship through innovation.”

This year, Camp Invention will host its newest program, Launch. The Launch program will feature four science-based modules. Module 1, Duct Tape Billionaire, helps students explore patents, launch a business and present their products to mock investors. Module 2, Mission Space Makers, takes children on a quest to locate and prepare a new plant for human habitations, while designing inventions to transform the atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem of an exo-

Jungle Jams returns to Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Lisa Colleen’s Jungle Jams will be making an encore summer camp performance at the Tarkington.

“It’s a lot of percussion. We call it moving and grooving,” Colleen said. “We do a lot of free movement, and there is dancing with scarves.

Then we bring in percussion instruments. Last year we introduced them to mandolin, the violin and the guitar. It depends who my helpers are and what instruments we bring in.”

For the second consecutive year, the Center for the Performing Arts will hold Jungle Jams as a summer camp June 12 through 16 at the Tarkington in Carmel. Colleen said the target age range is 4 to 6 years old for the camp, which will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m.

“Every day they learn about a life skill, and the animals each represent that life skill,” Colleen said.

So one day she might tell the kids a story about a zebra named Zeke.

“He represents that it’s cool to be unique,” Colleen said. “So all the zebras look the same but their stripes are all different, just like our thumbprints are all different. Every day I make sure they learn something either about teamwork or celebrating differences or celebrating

your uniqueness.”

Julia Shildmyer-Heighway, the center’s community engagement manager, said Jungle Jams was first a one-day class series. Impressed by the class, Shildmyer-Heighway invited Colleen to make it a camp.

“Each day there is a story and craft activity, and they make an instrument to take home,” Shildmyer-Heighway said.

Colleen is a former Carmel resident who now lives in Geist.

There is a maximum of 20 participants. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Summer U: Summer camps at University High School will host two three-week sessions. The first sessions will take place June 12-30, and the second session takes place July 10-28.

According to summer programs coordinator Maggie Becker, costs vary by class, but an average one-week camp costs $150.

Becker said UHS strives to be a community resource for more than only UHS students and welcomes students of all ages to use the programs.

“Most of the content is geared toward middle school students, but if you’re a fourth-grader who is especially passionate about Minecraft or Mandarin, we would welcome you in the program,” Becker said.

According to Becker, Summer U Becker covers everything from study skills to computer science and programming, and theatre to creative writing.

“What’s special about Summer U is that it combines the fun of a traditional day camp with the engaged learning approach and world-class teachers that University High School is known for. Campers who spend their summer with us get a true enrichment experience in a fun, laid-back high school environment,” Becker said.

New to Summer U this year, the camp will offer a film camp, a yoga camp taught by a certified yoga instructor and a Raspberry Pi class for coding campers. The camp also will have extended hours.

“Every day is different at Summer U, and that’s the beauty of it. One thing all of our

“Campers get to use computers, art supplies, cameras and even a 3-D printer. Last year, one group of campers used the 3-D printer to build a to-scale model of Fairbanks Hall.”

Zionsville teacher creates camp based on Minecraft

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Video game lovers are invited to join Indy Stem Camps this summer to venture into the world of Minecraft.

Matt Mulholland, a veteran physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, founded Indy Stem Camps three years ago. He created Indy Stem Camps to target first through eighth-graders and focus on STEM, science, technology, engineering and math.

“There’s a big push in educational circles to try to encourage kids to go into STEM-related fields,” Mulholland said.

He noticed his own kids were constantly playing Minecraft, which inspired him to learn more about the game and see if he could develop a curriculum around it.

“I realized at that point I was on to something. There was a way that I could help kids learn STEM in the context of a game they already love to play. It was a win-win situation,” he said.

Mulholland calls Minecraft “the ultimate sandbox game,” meaning the kids can produce anything without limitation. At the camp, kids

play in a secure server so they only have access to two worlds in Minecraft.

There are seven options for Minecraft camps, each with its own curriculum and goals. Mulholland also leads camps about bridge building, catapult building, robotics and more.

The camps are held for three hours each day over five days at Zionsville High School, University High School and Cathedral High School. Kids can attend the morning or afternoon session, or both. Fees vary depending on the type of camp and location.

The Indianapolis Sailing Club will offer its annual sailing education summer camp from June 12 to July 28 at the club, 11325 Fall Creek Rd. From 9 a.m to 4 p.m., kids will be immersed in new topics, including water safety, knot tying, wind direction and more.

Students are split into groups based on experience level, and the staff follows the U.S Sailing programs to tailor lessons to each group. The camp incorporates on-the-water instruction as well as games, rain or shine.

The camp is designed in weekly sessions.

Michelle Sarber, junior sailing coordinator, said they organized it this way so that after the first week, kids can decide if they are interested enough to come back for the entirety of camp. Sarber suggests completing all six weeks in order to truly feel comfortable sailing.

“Sailing is a lifelong skill,” Sarber said. “It’s one of those things that you may not be able to play soccer all your life or football, but you can sail.”

The staff also runs a weekly ranking program, which consists of a verbal and on-

“We have kids who continue to come back every summer because they want to achieve the highest rank,” Sarber said.

Touchstone Energy Camp offers unique opportunity

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Touchstone Energy Camp has many aspects of a normal outdoor summer camp but with a twist.

“We select up to three students to go to the camp free of charge at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston,” said Mandy Saucerman, Boone REMC communications and marketing specialist.

The camp, which started in 2002, is designed for students entering the seventh grade in the fall of 2017. The students are selected from a group of applications. The students’ households must receive electricity from Boone REMC. Along with serving Boone County, Boone REMC serves parts of Clinton, Hamilton, Hendricks, and Montgomery counties. Boone RMC is a nonprofit electric utility cooperative.

“It’s the traditional summer camp type of experience,” Saucerman said. “They get to go horseback riding, zip-lining, swimming, rock

climbing, archery, canoeing, all that fun stuff.

Then mixed in with that to make it more of an energy camp, we’ve got activities for them to learn about electrical safety, and the importance of that as well as renewable energy sources, and how all that works, and why it’s important. They get the opportunity to test out what it’s like to be an electric lineman by climbing a pole and going up in a bucket truck and things like that.”

The overnight camp will be held June 7-10.

The campers spend three nights in the cabins and get picked up the morning of June 10.

“The counselors are employees of the electric cooperatives,” Saucerman said. “So they get to learn a little bit more about careers in the electric cooperative industry.”

About 135 campers from around the state that attend the camp.

Applications forms are available at bremc. com/community/youth-programs/. The application deadline is Feb. 24.

With technology, there can be comfort for your eyes

Commentary by Dr. Matthew Clark, O.D.

In this digital age, optometry patients want to know how to protect their eyes during a long workday in front of vision their smartphones, tablets and computers.

Now, I love technology and anything that makes my life more like that of Iron Man, but on the days I over-exert my eyes, they feel scratchy, they water and I go to bed an hour earlier. Try these three simple tips and you may find that after a long day you still have the stamina to still turn a couple pages of your favorite book before bed: • Take breaks: When you’re zoned in on your screens, your eye muscles are working hard, and like nearly all muscles, they occasionally need a break to regroup. Try the 20-20-20 rule; every 20 minutes look at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to reset the system.

• Optimize your workspace: The Iron Man in me wants to mount my computer on the wall, install fluorescent lighting

and paint the walls white. The optometrist in me knows better. Adjust room lighting to cut glare where possible and lower your computer to below your line of sight to ease dryness and eye strain.

• Workstation glasses: Let your eye doctor fit you for a stronger pair of glasses specifically designed for your workspace, with an anti-glare coating and blue light filter to reduce eye strain. You won’t be able to wear them to drive home, but most of us spend more time at our desks than in our cars, anyway. Keep them by your computer, throw them on in the morning; your eyes will love you for it.

Your favorite devices are not harmful to your eyes, but they can be a literal headache if used incorrectly or in excess. Here’s to comfort throughout your day.

Dr. Matthew Clark, O.D., practices at Carmel Eyecare. For more, e-mail him at mclark@ carmeleyecare.com.

Emmet Cahill to perform solo concert at Studio 37

By Desiree Williams news@currentinfishers.com Emmet Cahill, Irish tenor and primary singer with the Irish show Celtic concerts Thunder, is bringing his debut album to the U.S. He will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 4 at the Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, 10029 E. 126th St., Fishers.

Cahill’s mother and father introduced him to music at a young age by performing together at the Cathedral of Christ the King Church in Mullingar, Ireland and teaching music lessons.

Cahill stayed involved with the cathedral as he grew up and received classical training at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin.

He joined Celtic Thunder six years ago and toured in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Now, Cahill has signed with Sony Music Entertainment and is touring to promote his debut album, “Emmet Cahill’s Ireland,” which will be released Feb. 24. The album features 11 classic Irish songs that have been passed down from generation-to-generation.

Emmet Cahill will perform a solo concert at Studio 37. (Submitted photo)

“What I’m trying to do is bring people back to their childhood,” he said. “There’s nothing like a song to bring back a memory.”

Cahill said Irish music resonates with so many people because it speaks of family and a sense of belonging, and he wants to emulate that at his concert.

“My show is a show that really appeals to family, young and old. I try to create an evening to give people a bit of an escape and maybe bring them to Ireland for a couple of hours,” he said.

Other than traditional songs, Cahill will also sing Broadway hits, movie favorites and even some opera tunes.

Cahill said meeting and interacting with fans is one of his favorites things to do, so he will offer a meet-and-greet session before the concert at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $45 to include the meetand-greet, or $30 for general admission.

Dispatches Christ in the Arts – First Presbyterian Church in Noblesville has added an additional music program to its ministry.

Davis also is the assistant artistic director of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and is surrounded by talented musicians inside and outside the congregation. Thus, Christ in the Arts was born.

At 4 p.m., Feb. 26, Christ is the Arts will present a pipe organ concert featuring organists Cheryl Mayhew, Clarice Stegall and Aaron Kemp showcasing their various musical styles. Along with the organ concert, the church will host an art exhibition featuring local Hamilton County artists. This is a free event and child care will be provided.

Acting bug bites Fishers youth

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com One acting camp and Lex Lumpkin was hooked.

“I like being on stage in front of people, entertaining people,” Lex said. “I just Theater get the thrill of it. It’s really fun.”

The Fishers resident will debut in the title role in the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s production of “Stuart Little,” held Feb. 25 to March 26 at IRT, 140 W. Washington St., Indianapolis. There are two matinee performances at IRT on every Saturday and Sunday during that span. In adLumpkin dition, the cast will be doing performances for school-children through the week. His mother, Tommalisa Lumpkin, said there are more than 50 performances.

Lex, a fifth-grader at Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate/Junior High School, said he likes to make people laugh.

“I don’t like memorizing the lines, that’s the down part,” Lex said.

Tommalisa said her son is good at it.

“He knows everyone else’s lines, too,” Tommalisa said. “If you say your line wrong, he’ll say, ‘No, it’s this.’”

Lex, 11, said he watched the “Stuart Little” movie and read the book a couple of times.

Stuart is a boy-like mouse who falls in love with a bird named Margalo.

Following the acting camp he took last summer at IRT, Lex was invited to audition.

“We were shocked when he got it because there were 10 other boys auditioning,” Tommalisa said.

His father, TiJuan Lumpkin, signed him up for the acting class because Lex kept asking if he could audition for a commercial or a play.

During the weeks of the show, Lex’s grandmother Effie Alexander, a retired teacher, will come to Florida help him keep up with his schoolwork.

“She’s a strict woman, too. It won’t be an easy ride for him,” Tommalisa said.

Lex’s brother, TiJuan Jr., a sixth-grader who goes by T.J., also took the acting camp. He might want to act as well but singing is his real love.

Tips & Tricks for a “Stress-Free” Kitchen Renovation

Teacher OF THE MONTH

CONGRATULATIONS!

The winners for February’s Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Edge Guys, are: Student Alyssa Morrissey • Teacher Ms. Seitz Harrison Parkway Elementary The winning teacher will receive a $50 visa gift card from Edge Guys and the winning essayist will win a pizza party for their class, courtesy of Papa John’s.

The next deadline for submitting essays is Feb. 24. Send a 100-word essay describing your favorite teacher to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

By David Decker Let’s face it, the kitchen is the most used room in the house, so being forced to live without it during a renovation can be stressful and difficult. Following these 5 simple steps can help calm some of those renovation jitters.

Do a little “Spring Cleaning” A kitchen renovation is the perfect time to purge. While packing up everything in the existing cabinets, consider getting rid of some of the items that haven’t been used in a while. Be sure the countertops are clear of small appliances and remove anything from the room that may get in the way during the renovation.

Be Prepared Be sure all details like cabinet hardware, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and electrical locations to name a few, of the renovation have been finalized. All materials should be on site and ready for installation. Living in a disorderly house during a renovation is stressful enough, having to make last minute decisions can cause more frustration and delays.

Create a Temporary Kitchen If space allows, create a make-shift kitchen somewhere else in the home complete with

a miniature refrigerator, microwave, & other small appliances that are typically used on a daily basis. Put that Crock Pot to good use and consider buying disposal plates, bowls, cups, & utensils.

Communication is Key Stay in constant communication with the Project Manager & Designer throughout the entire project. Ask questions! Don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t look right.

Mistakes happen, it’s better to catch them right away rather than having to fix them when the project is near completion.

See the Big Picture Okay, yes – even by following these steps the renovation may still be stressful. Things will go wrong. There may be unexpected mechanicals in a wall that is being removed, a cabinet door may be damaged, or an installer may get sick and be unable to work

that day. These mishaps may be inconvenient, but REMEMBER THE BIG PICTURE. Take a deep breath and know these problems will be resolved and in the end, you will get your dream kitchen.

At The Affordable Companies, we strive to make every renovation as smooth and convenient as possible. Our knowledgeable design and production team work with you every step of the way to ensure a worry-free renovation. To begin designing your new kitchen, visit our website at www.theaffordablecompanies.com or give us a call at 317.575.9540.

Yacht Harbor in Antalya, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Antalya: World-class resort city Commentary by Don Knebel When Americans think of cities in Turkey, most probably don’t picture a cosmopolitan seaside resort featuring a harbor travel once used by the Romans. But Antalya, the fastest growing city in Turkey with a population of more than 1 million, meets that description.

Antalya was founded on the Mediterranean coast of what is now Turkey in about 150 B.C.

by King Attalos II of Pergamon. Attalos based his powerful navy in Antalya’s natural harbor.

When Antalya came under control of the Roman Empire in 133 B.C., Roman fleets continued to use the harbor. By the first century, Antalya was a thriving port city, attracting people from around the Mediterranean. In about 45 A.D., the Apostle Paul and his companion Barnabas visited Antalya during their first missionary journey. A visit to Antalya by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D. was commemorated by a three-opening ceremonial gate that still leads to the ancient walled city center adjoining the harbor. For much of its history, Antalya was not closely connected

with the surrounding areas and developed as a unique multicultural city, attracting Jews, Christians and Muslims alike to its beautiful beaches and flourishing commercial district.

Since the 1970s, the Turkish government has developed Antalya into a world-class resort city, with luxurious hotels available at remarkably low rates stretching along its long beach front. Although the government has closed Antalya’s hotel casinos, alcohol is still available to foreign visitors, more than 12 million of whom come each year to what has become known as the Turkish Riviera. Visitors wanting more than sun and sand crowd the shops in Kaleiçi, the historic city center near what is now Antalya’s yacht harbor. So prevalent (some would use other words) are Russian tourists in Antalya that some hotels proudly advertise that they are not popular with the Russians.

2. Peanut butter – even organic brands need a touch of sugar or salt to keep them fresh 3. Pickles – the fermentation process requires salt or vinegar as a preservative 4. Jam and jelly – require benzoic acid to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.
