DNR: Dead fish not unexpected

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Last week, residents with homes on Geist Reservoir expressed concern about seeing a higher-than-usual number of dead fish floating. The Geist Lake Coaliwildlife tion addressed concerns of homeowners along the waterfront, saying there’s nothing to worry about.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources agrees.

“Most accounts so far are that the vast majority of the dead fish are gizzard shad. I am not surprised that there are lots of dead or struggling shad, I’d actually be more surprised if there weren’t,” said Rhett Wisener, IDNR fish biologist.

He explained that what has happened on Geist Reservoir happens quite frequently at many Indiana lakes that have abundant populations of shad following a winter where there are long stretches of cold temperatures and

extended periods of ice. “I expect to hear about and see this at other lakes,” he said.

Fish kills happen when the ice on a frozen water body has been covered with snow for any length of time.

“Shad are pretty fragile fish that are more sensitive to cold water and lower oxygen levels than many other species in our lakes. As a result, winter die-offs are not uncommon with winter conditions such as this past year,” he said.

Geist Reservoir has a high number of large population of shad. “Shad numbers tend to be high, which is usually the case at most of the reservoirs in central and southern Indiana where they are found,” he said.

While the die-offs are unsightly to residents, they don’t completely eliminate the shad even though at times it appears the kills were pretty devastating.

“Usually you don’t even ever notice much of a dip in their numbers because they rebound so quickly.”

Firefighters extinguish trash fire

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Around 9 a.m. on March 23, firefighters were called to Greenway Drive after a driver of Republic Services trash truck noticed smoke coming from the safety truck’s trash compartment.

The driver of a Republic Services truck dumped the load of trash on the street so that firefighters could quickly extinguish the flames.

“The Republic driver did exactly the right thing when he dumped the load in the street,” said Capt. John Mehling, the public information officer for Fishers Fire and Emergency Services. “Just a couple of weeks ago, media reported a similar situation in Indianapolis, in which the truck, which was powered by natural gas, had the tanks explode sending metal shrapnel into surrounding buildings.”

Reportedly, investigators said the fire was likely caused by fireplace ashes or cigarette butts still smoldering.

“It’s important for the community to understand that fuel, such as wood, charcoal and tobacco, can easily hide embers in product that has incomplete combustion -there can still be ‘hot spots’ in the ashes from fire places, grills and ash trays,” said Mehling.

Firefighters recommend that all sources of flame be soaked in water before being put in trash cans. Especially when placed in plastic trash cans that are kept in your garage. “We respond on multiple garage fires every year because ashes thought to be out, still had embers,” he said. “Can it, wet it and wait.”

WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom.

There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement.

In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step.

Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in

A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

Les Misérables comes to LC

By Marcia Ellett Supported by the efforts of the Lawrence Central Performing Arts Association — arts which seeks financial assistance from community individuals and businesses to help sustain the high school’s award-winning arts programs, including band, choir, orchestra, theater, dance and color guard — more than 800 students participate annually in Lawrence Central’s Performing Arts Program. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 of those students are involved as cast and crew in Lawrence Central’s spring musical, the high school version of “Les Misérables.”

“It’s very challenging,” said the play’s director Kathleen Horrigan, who majored in theatre at Ball State and has taught and directed high school and community theatre for nearly two decades.

“It’s more of an opera than a musical,” but she hastened, “We have the talent this year.”

“Les Misérables” is a classic, passion-filled story set in 19th-century France about a parole violator, Jean Valjean, who turns his life around and uses it for good only to be relentlessly pursued by Javert, the unbending police officer who wants to return him to prison.

Junior Tyree Goodner, 17, who is playing the role of Jean Valjean, said, “I feel like [Lawrence Central’s] is one of the best programs that Indiana has to offer. You’re getting the real deal.

Tyree Goodner and Quentin Beverly take on challenging “Les Miserables” roles. (Submitted photo)

“We’re going to do our 100 percent best to put on a kick-butt show.”

Senior Quentin Beverly, 17, who plays Javert and has been accepted to Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University for voice, said members of the community should come out to see the show. “It’s something that you’re not going to see other high schools do.”

“The kids here invest in the program. They believe in us. They know we’re going to work hard for them and they’re going to work hard for us,” said Horrigan. “It’s a joy to watch a young performer do something they love and to get the audience’s reaction to it. That’s why I continue to do this.”

The show runs April 24, and Saturday, April 25, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 26, at 2:30 p.m. For ticket information, contact the Lawrence Central box office at 964-7553.

Kayla Eads is able to blend her two passions into her job at Goldfish Swim School in Carmel.

She went to college to swimming interpret American Sign Language and for deaf studies at Madonna University in Livonia, Mich., and was a competitive swimmer for two years at Clawson (Mich.) High School.

“So I’m able to bring those two passions together,” Eads said.

Eads, 24, moved from Michigan from where she worked at the Goldfish Swim School at Farmington Hills, Mich., to help open the school in Carmel (271 Merchants Square Dr., Suite A-110) two years ago.

Eads, an Indianapolis resident, has taught deaf swim students ranging in ages from four to nine years old. Eads is teaching seven deaf swimmers at this time.

“The only difference is that I’m able to communicate with them in sign language and they understand what they need to do,” Eads said. “We do the same curriculum (as with the other students).”

Eads now works part-time at the swim school, as she has become a full-time preschool teacher’s aide at the Indiana School for the Deaf in Indianapolis nine months ago.

“I’ve taught lessons before Goldfish and the difference is Goldfish caters directly to children between the ages of four months to 12 years old,”

Kayla Eads instructing a student. (Submitted photos)

Eads said. “Everything about the facility is inviting for families and kids. It makes them feel comfortable in all those different ways. That contributes a lot to how much the kids are willing to learn and have fun. It can be a fun activity while learning a really important life skill.”

Eads said all the Goldfish Swim School locations network together.

Briana Ayers starting working as a swim teacher at the Goldfish Swim School in December in Fishers, 11581 Geist Pavilion Dr., Suite 114. Ayers, 20, is majoring in deaf education at Ball State.

Ayers said the Goldfish School does not have any deaf students in Fishers now, but she is hopeful the school will have some in the near future.”

“It’s a good opportunity for them because not a lot of swim places have somebody who can communicate with them with ALS,” Ayers said. “I believe all kids need to learn to be in the water and know safety skills.”

Running the building Katie Haigh oversees the installation of exhibitions and facilities management at the IMA

About Katie Haigh

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Katie Haigh seamlessly combines her art history education with learned-on-the-job HVAC knowledge as the deputy director for collections, exhibitions and facilities cover story management at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Although women outnumber men in the museum field’s curation jobs nationwide, there are few female facilities managers.

Originally planning to attend the University of Cincinnati to major in fashion design, Haigh said she found art history, “kind of accidently.”

Spending special days at the Cincinnati Art Museum as a child influenced Haigh’s career. “My mother is a huge arts advocate,” said Haigh. “One of her best friends was a docent at the museum— still is to this day. She’d bring me on tours. We’d get dressed up, have lunch and just make a day of it.”

After receiving her degree in art history from UC, Haigh began her career at the same museum she’d gone to as a child. Haigh worked at the Cincinnati Museum of Art for 13 years before deciding that she needed a change. “I was working as a registrar when the same position opened at the IMA, but there was opportunity for advancement,” she said. With career growth in mind, she took the position at the 660,000 square-foot Indianapolis Museum of Art facility—one of the largest in the country--as the chief registrar in 2007. “Having the historic home aspect was really exciting to me, too.” She was promoted to deputy director within three years.

“The registration department basically registers all the artwork

coming in and out of the museum. This includes managing the logistics, insurance, customs and crating of the items in terms of how they arrive to other museums,” she said. The IMA lends over 50 pieces of artwork to other museums each year and borrows art from other museums to augment the collections at the IMA. “I’ve toured all over the world installing exhibitions.”

“When Charles Venable became the director and CEO, he gave me more responsibilities and made a lot of really great, positive changes and asked me to take on facilities management.”

Haigh is responsible for 15 buildings on the museum’s grounds. “If it needs a new roof, that’s my responsibility.

If it needs a new boiler, that’s up to me,” she said. “The curator determines what is in the buildings; I care for the objects and conserve them.”

Haigh enjoys the problem-solving aspects of her job. She’s applied the same organizational skills she uses as a collections and exhibitions manager to the facilities management aspect of her job.

“I now have a work order system in place that wasn’t here before.”

Haigh encourages women to pursue facilities management.

She credits having a great team around her for support. “I learn something from them every day—you need a good team to do the job well.”

“Katie is perfect for her job at the IMA. She is exceptionally well organized and detailed oriented, and has a great capacity to multitask. I am so happy she is part of our senior management team.”

February home prices rise Commentary by Jim LItten

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINARS

With 2,036 pended sales in February in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 8.3 percent compared to real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, February 2015 pended home sales rose 2.7 percent compared to February 2014, an increase of 53 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Six of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to February 2014, including Hamilton County where sales rose .2 percent to 417 homes.

• In the Fishers/Geist market, home sales slipped slightly. Last month, 134 homes pended, a decrease of 16 homes compared to February 2014.

• Inventory in the Fishers/Geist area is shrinking. In February 2015, 472 homes were available for sale, a decrease of 6.3 percent from last year.

• Home prices in the Fishers/Geist market continue to make gains. For the first two months

of this year, home prices averaged $251,185, an increase of 1.1 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the pended home sales in the Fishers/ Geist area last month, seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 22 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 29 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 75 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• Inventory continues to move at a steady pace. In the Fishers/Geist area, homes remain on the market an average of 81 days, the same pace compared to this time last year.

We’re excited to see the first quarter moving in a positive direction. As we head toward the spring selling months, we’re optimistic that modest sales gains will continue across most of Central Indiana.

Coconut oil: The best fat fighter?

Commentary by Cory Black

Everyone has some body fat they want to lose. Adding coconut oil to your diet is one way to help drop pounds. So how nutrition can coconut oil help you lose fat?

Coconut oil is primarily made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Unlike the typical long chain triglycerides (LCTs) in our diet, MCTs are easily broken down immediately for use rather than stored, whereas, LCTs found in other dietary fats produce some energy but are more likely to end up as body fat.

It’s because the medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) found in coconut oil are rapidly absorbed that they help reduce fat stores. MCTs provide a rapid energy source that provide a thermogenic effect, which subsequently increases metabolism and helps burns your fat stores. One study, published in Metabolism, found that calories burned shortly after consuming MCTs were almost twice as high as from normal fat sources: 120 calories versus 66 calories.

Conventional dietary fats (LCTs), on the other hand, have the same chemical structure as body fat, which is why excess calories from conventional fats are very prone to being stored.

Coconut oil and MCTs have a smaller molecular structure. It is easier for your body to absorb and transport MCTs directly from the small intestine to the liver by the portal vein. In the liver, some of the MCTs are turned into ketone bodies, which the muscles can use for energy. A portion is

converted to ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

MCT is processed in the liver and there is little left to be stored as fat.

Unlike hydrogenated coconut oils from the past, a virgin coconut oil is not hydrogenated and has zero cholesterol. In fact, coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats to have in your diet.

It also has other health benefits, such as lauric acid, which has amazing antiviral, antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties.

Add a little coconut oil to your diet and harness some natural fat loss benefits from MCTs.

Why you’re still hungry

Commentary by Jenny Swisher

Why is it so hard to stop eating out of a tub of movie theatre popcorn? Why nutrition is it "the fun don't stop" after you pop the top of a Pringles can? Why is it that some foods taste so dang good that we can't put them down?

If I handed you an apple and asked you to eat it, you probably would. What if, right after polishing off that apple, I handed you another? What about a third? Would you consume three apples in one sitting? Likely not. Though if I handed you some fries from McDonald's, would you eat more than one? More than 10?

Let's get this straight. Some foods are addicting to the point we can't stop eating them, and others we enjoy but only in moderation almost naturally. Who wants to eat three apples, or four bananas?

The answer is simple. Some foods satisfy you nutritionally, and some do not. In other words, some serve a purpose in your body aside from merely filling the belly (their nutrient-packed fibers are utilized by your body upon consumption), while others simply satiate a temporary craving.

Truth is, manufacturers of packaged goods

have found ways to increase the salt or sugar in their products, making consumers consume more of it. Brilliant marketing. Not-so-brilliant outcome (introduce American obesity epidemic.)

Last I checked, God doesn't add anything to apples. And I'm pretty sure he's the manufacturer.

The bottom line is, if you're still hungry, you're not nutritionally satisfied. Most likely, you're not consuming the foods that are adding value to your body and its functionality. You're feeding yourself something that's tasty and what you perceive to be filling, thanks to various marketing tactics, additives, and a behavioral habit.

Real food satisfies. It gives you energy and increases your quality of life. We deserve to live a little, but our bodies also deserve to be treated with care.

Now, go have an apple or three and let me know how you feel.

BEFORE

During Passion Week, Christians around the world will rehear the story of Jesus’ agony in the “Garden of Gethsemane.” Travelers to travel Jerusalem can visit what is said to be the very garden. But whether Jesus ever set foot in that garden is far from certain.

Surprising to many Christians, the Bible never mentions a “Garden of Gethsemane.” The Gospels of Mark and Matthew report that Jesus shared a Passover meal with his disciples before going to “Gethsemane,” a corruption of Hebrew words literally meaning “wine press for oils,” where he prayed and was then betrayed by Judas. The Gospel of John says Jesus prayed with his disciples the night before Passover and was later betrayed by Judas in an unnamed “garden.”

From these accounts, some Christians concluded that Gethsemane was a garden, while others concluded Jesus prayed at the site of a wine press and then went to a garden.

Since the fourth century, Christians have identified multiple locations near the foot of the Mount of Olives matching their own conceptions of Gethsemane. The most popular site is a walled garden across the Kidron Valley from the Temple

Mount. It includes flower-lined paths and eight olive trees carbon-dated to the time of the Crusaders, making them the oldest such trees on earth. The adjoining Church of All Nations, built in the 1920s on the site of earlier churches, is claimed to cover the stone on which Jesus knelt while he prayed. At least three other locations on the Mount of Olives, including a cave said to have housed an ancient wine press, are also associated with the Biblical accounts of Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane. The traditional choices for Gethsemane are all near major first century roads crossing the Mount of Olives. Some scholars believe a secluded location north and east of traditional locations would be a more likely spot for someone seeking to pray.

For Christian visitors to Jerusalem, whether the traditional sites of Gethsemane are precisely the place of Jesus’s agony is irrelevant. Being in the vicinity of where Jesus prayed on the night before his crucifixion is close enough.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Can Cruz be the real deal?

Is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) really that “scary,” as many members of the (liberal) media and Democratic Party have painted him? We don’t know. He is different; we’ll allow that. Cruz has been in the so-called limelight for all of two years, and after listening to his off-the-cuff campaign announcement (no Tele-Prompter for that guy) last week, here is what we came away with: He credits Jesus for fueling his father’s return to the family fold; we need to dump the IRS and ObamaCare; and the Common Core just needs to go away. On the first, who’s to refute it? As to the rest, we’re in; where do we sign up? But, really, could this be a case of a candidate rolling out his agenda and tailoring it for the audience? After all, he was at Liberty University, the prominent, private Christian institution of higher education in Lynchburg, Va. Maybe not, but we all should watch to see if he stays true as time goes by. Meanwhile, a haiku for Republican Party leadership: Election cometh Too many candidates now Can’t be serious We’ve seen the March Madness-style, Republican presidential-hopeful brackets on social media. It’s supposed to be funny, but it’s not.

The GOP leadership is so dysfunctional that it has a veritable Sweet Sixteen of candidates. If there’s a favorite – and many believe that after an exhaustive search, another Bush (this time, Jeb) will be the answer – it’s probably best to focus on him. Scott Walker (we still like him), Cruz and Mike Huckabee are there to further divide the party, and then throw in Rand Paul and Ben Carson, and possibly George Pataki and Lindsey Graham, among others, and the party could have a huge mess on its hands. But the GOP majors in huge messes. Look no further than the aftermath of Mitt Romney’s beatdown of President Barack Obama in the first of three president debates last election cycle. He had his man down, and he let him back up. We marvel at how Republicans continually screw up the proverbial two-car funeral.

Stone houses

Commentary by Terry Anker

The classic children’s book, The Three Little Pigs, teaches that wolves have an amazing lung capacity and that a stone house is better than a wooden or straw one. Stone houses last a long time. In Peru for a conference, it seemed imprudent to be in the South American country without making the trek to the famed, ancient city of Machu Picchu. The trip was replete with the challenges and peculiarities found so far off the beaten path – trains don’t run in some places during the rainy season due to frequent mud slides, locals drink a beer made from corn and strawberries (yes, it is pink) to wash down a meal of Guinea Pig (yes, the rodent), and central heat (let alone air conditioning) is a luxury beyond even the most deluxe hotels. But, the sheer beauty of the place and the ingenuity of the native people makes for a compelling journey.

The city, built as a retreat by the last of a long line of Inca (loosely translated as King), is believed to have taken many years and as many as

8,000 people to build. The permanent residents of 300 or so were doubled when the Inca and his entourage rolled into town. Engineers perfected stonework, water distribution, and agricultural terracing allowing for what must have been a high quality of life for the privileged few.

With the Spanish invasion, technologies like glass mirrors were introduced. While the Inca may have seen themselves for the first time, we see them only in the stone they left behind.

Like the Inca, the Spaniards did not believe in a shared culture. Maybe, those who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glass. Ultimately temples were replaced with cathedrals and stone gave way to stucco. Even as we build great monuments, can we expect to enjoy them?

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K We don’t grow older, we grow riper.

-Pablo Picasso

A while back I was on my way home from dropping a kid at dance/tae kwon do/volleyball/soccer and heard a blip for a nonprofit that organizes letters and care packages for American forces abroad. I’d been contemplating “adopting” a soldier for a while; my children often seem oblivious to anything outside our suburban bubble and could seriously use an injection of patriotism.

So I went to the group’s website, filled out the application and received a phone call from a delightful elderly lady about a week later.

She assigned us two troops, both stationed in Afghanistan, and explained the rules and expectations. Basically we needed to write once a week, send a care package once a month, and not divulge classified material or include porn. Done! I added the letter-writing to the chore chart and shared the news with the kids. They were less than thrilled.

“This is stupid!”; “They don’t care about our lives!”; “What do I even say?” Jeeze! Could they be anymore bratty? I suggested they talk about the Super Bowl, college basketball, their hobbies, the weather, how mean their mom is for making them do this. “It doesn’t matter what you write! Just let them know we are thinking of them.”

Hindering my cause was the fact that we never knew if our notes and “survival essentials” of National Enquirer, Skippy peanut butter and Axe deodorant were arriving. The lady had said the guys may not be able to write back, especially if they were running mountain ops, but she encouraged us to keep up the support. If nothing was returned, we could rest assured they were getting “the goods.”

Then just the other day, two months after our adoptions, three letters arrived from one of our troops, thanking the kids profusely for their efforts. He said he truly looked forward to his weekly “update.” We learned about his young daughter and that he’d be missing the birth of his second; and that he’s a Broncos fan and hates the Patriots.

Finally, my kids understood. This isn’t about adding an extra chore to their lists. This is about making a personal connection with a young soldier who is making sacrifices for them every single day, and about getting the chance to say “Thank you.”

We hope to hear from our other troop soon, but even if we don’t, it’s all good. I’ve already noticed a change in how my children view military personnel, and how they pay a little more attention to the news. “Write Letters” remains on the chart, but I’d argue my kids don’t see it as a chore anymore. Mission accomplished! Peace out.

Brian, Brian, pants on fire Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I show up to see my CPA at tax time, Clare clears her desk so I can spread out all my shoeboxes filled with receipts. First, humor she asks how much income I had last year. That’s when I say: “It’s always about money with you people, isn’t it?”

When I walked in this week, she said, “Well, if it isn’t Brian Williams!” I was flattered, and not surprised that she mistook me for the dashing NBC reporter, but my ego was soon deflated when she explained the reference. “I saw your column in the paper, the one where you boasted you completed your 2014 taxes in January.” Then she directed the tip of her number two pencil at the huge stack of papers I had piled on her desk. I must have turned red because she jotted down something on her legal pad. Any reference to being in the red has to be carefully documented.

I told my wife about my experience with Clare, and Mary Ellen said that after reading my columns over the years, she noticed a disturbing pattern of deception had clearly developed. “Like Brian Williams, you have become very adept at manipulating the facts. Of course, Brian is way better than you at it,” she said, “by about 9.94 million a year.”

I thought that ended the discussion, but Mary Ellen then added: “I think you should go back to every one of your 800 columns and print a retraction for each exaggeration and flat-out lie you told.

Here’s your opportunity to correct any references

to me where I do not appear to be anything but the intelligent, loving wife that I am. Oh, and a superb cook.”

I was going to have a lot of work to do.

To test the waters, I flipped to a random newspaper humor column I’d written where I recounted how our camera had been stolen at the Bermuda airport and with it, all our vacation photos. I claimed that the thief saw my attached ID tag, and emailed the photos back to me along with a critique of my picture-taking ability. He even commented about how lovely my wife was. It was a little creepy, but he did offer some good advice on a more flattering hairstyle for Mary Ellen. The camera being stolen? Yes, that was true. The rest?

Not so much.

I read another. In this one I claimed I went into the garage one night naked to get a can of soda.

The door locked behind me and I spent the entire night sleeping in my car. The truth is I was actually getting a can of beer. Okay, I feel better now.

I think Brian Williams should tell the public that even if it makes his stories less interesting, he will from this moment on always be 100 percent truthful. Personally, I’m not ready to make that promise.

‘The Drowsy Chaperone’ a classic twist on the 1920s and middle age

Evan Lurie Gallery hosts artist Gorman

By David Nance • news@currentinwestfield.com

Artist Michael Gorman was hosted by the Evan Lurie Gallery at 30 W Main St. in Carmel earlier this month. Current sat down with Gorman for an interview during his visit. art Q: Tell us about your background.

A: I suppose I’ve never really been far away from art.

My mom is a great painter, so I was always around art. I went off to the military for four years right after high school, and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. After I got out of the military I wanted to do architecture, went to college at the University of Kansas, and then moved over to industrial art and design.

Q: What led you to your career in painting” A: When I took a painting class, and that was it, I knew. My professor said that I should seriously consider making painting my major, so I did, and I ended up going to Berkley to get my master’s degree. I really never thought I would use my degree, but I did.

Q: What led to partnering with the Evan Lurie Gallery?

A: I met Evan Lurie and his brothers back in 1994, and I gave him some paintings I had left over from college, and they sold them all in a week. That was it. I got a call a few days after and they asked if I could make a few more of these paintings right

away, and offered me a studio, a car, and the money I needed to work. They set me up with everything I needed, and I’ve been working with them ever since. I think they’ve sold a couple thousand pieces of mine over the past 21 years.

Q: What mediums do you work with?

A: I use pretty much everything as my medium. I use alcoholbased, oil-based, and acrylic all together. Whatever you’re not supposed to do, like mix oil and water, that’s the first thing I do.

I find that I get a lot more interesting effects with that kind of conflict going on between the materials.

Q: How has your work evolved over the years?

A: Over the years, my style has evolved a lot. My style reverberates, and goes back and forth between lots of things. I paint in many genres, including cowboys, pop art, collage pieces or fond objects. Any excuse to make a painting. I’ll never run out reasons to make paintings. It’s impossible.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now I’m working on different works. There’s a painting of a blue bull, another with the Statue of Liberty, and more with some gunslingers and ballerinas. I have this thing going with cowboys and ballerinas, a contrast that I’m working on.

Beef & Boards dinner theater is always serving up performances at its northern Indianapolis location. Taking the stage in April the dinner-with-a-show venue will be featuring theater the five-time Tony Award winning musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.”

The storyline involves a middle-aged theater buff who recalls his favorite musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” As he plays the musical’s record, the show comes to life featuring a wedding, gangsters, a theater producer and of course an intoxicated chaperone.

Beginning April 9, Beef & Boards will be hosting this classic, 1920’s themed performance. Based on the book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, “The Drowsy Chaperone” blends the fun of a musical with the hilarity of a comedy.

“It’s basically a musical within a comedy,” choreographer and producer Ron Morgan said. “The show comes to life in the imagination of a musical theatre enthusiast. The music is really fun. The music is really in the 20’s sort of style and that period is so much fun to stage to and choreograph to so that’s really the appeal, I think, is the music.”

Morgan said that, for him, what separates “The Drowsy Chaperone” from other performances he’s produced are the comprehensive characters.

“I think what’s different about it is just it’s really defined characters that your working with,” he said. “It’s really over the top, defined characters in the 20’s and so it makes it actually really fun to work on because you have something more to go on. Its not just music it’s the characters and the story. The story really is those told through those production numbers because of how the show is written, so that’s why it’s more my cup of tea because as a director it comes from the production numbers and the choreography.”

Creating an open, contemporary concept kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING KITCHEN: Located in the Springmill Streams subdivision in Carmel, this 20-year-old kitchen had a choppy blueprint for layout that didn’t work improvement for the homeowners.

A large walk-in pantry monopolized too much space and divided the kitchen from the formal dining room. The homeowners’ dream was to create an open-concept layout for better flow and modernize the design for a more contemporary look.

REMOVING PANTRY: To create the desired open layout, the pantry and walls separating the kitchen from the dining room were eliminated.

As a result, the space now feels spacious and bright. In place of the pantry, a new desk was installed using maple cabinetry with a “Coco” finish. A Cambria “Torquay” countertop was chosen to contrast with the dark cabinetry.

TYING IN DINING AREA: To compensate for lost storage from the terminated pantry, new contrasting cabinets with a “Polar” finish and a Cambria “Wellington” countertop were installed along the far dining room wall to store rarely used china and kitchen accessories. The new pantry wall also functions as a buffet for formal dinner parties.

MODERN DETAILS: The existing layout of the kitchen worked well; it simply needed to be modernized. The same two-toned cabinetry and

before & after

Cambria countertops from the desk and dining area were used for the kitchen perimeter wall and island for consistency. A separate beverage station was added to keep traffic out of the main prep area. The sleek stainless steel appliances and glass tile backsplash polish off the desired contemporary look.

CONNECTING KITCHEN WITH DINING ROOM: LED recessed can lights, under cabinet lighting and new pendants installed on dimmer switches adds visual interest and helps connect the two spaces. New hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main level to create a continuous look.
