“There is staff here, but we’re not going to assist with every transaction.

A21 to host walk to fight human sex trafficking

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com At 10 a.m. on Oct. 17, a local group partnering with the A21 Campaign will host a walk to bring awareness to human sex advocacy trafficking. A21 is a non-profit organization that works to end sex trafficking throughout the world. The walk also takes place in cities across the world at the same time. Fishers resident, Julia Rayner, works with A21 in Fishers.

“We’re partnering with the A21 campaign.

It’s a global, anti-human trafficking organization. It’s a second annual walk, so people from all over the world are walking this day to help raise awareness for sex trafficking. A21 has four strategies to their organization. Preventionawareness and education. Protection – they have shelters and transitioning homes for women of sex trafficking. Prosecution – the legal response part. Partnership – partnering with the local police, government and community,” said Rayner.

The walk is free but people can register and donate if they would like. One hundred percent of the money goes toward A21 and their campaign to end human trafficking. Rayner said these types of things are becoming more prevalent in local areas.

Supporters from last year’s walk. (Submitted photo)

“The average age of trafficking victims is 12 years old and it’s so sad. Only 1 to 2 percent of the victims are ever rescued. Sadly, we’re seeing more and more of these articles every day. It’s out there everywhere. Girls are lured by promises of modeling jobs. At first they buy them nice things. They get the girls to come with them, and they don’t return. Word is getting out, though,” said Rayner.

The walk begins at Peterson’s in Fishers and moves down 96th St. toward Allisonville Rd. “We wear all black. We walk in a single file line. It’s just fueling the fight for freedom around the world. There were 17 different countries around the world participating last year.

This year it will be even bigger,” said Rayner.

Launch Fishers uses experience to help guide Marion-based coworking space

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com With the success that Launch Fishers has seen since it’s opening in 2012, it’s no wonder other businesses are looking at its model. One particular city is opening its own coworking space on Sept. 24.

Working in collaboration with Indiguidance ana Wesleyan University and Launch Fishers Founder John Wechsler, The Wechsler Refinery in Marion is hoping to achieve similar success. Wechsler has also worked with Wesleyan in the past, making him eager to help out with The Refinery.

“We’ve done a lot with Indiana Wesleyan at Launch Fishers,” Wechsler said. “Several of our companies were able to host internships with [Wesleyan] and we actually took one as well at Launch Fishers. I’ve just had a really great relationship with them. So when the plan-

ning for Launch Marion or, The Refinery as it’s known, got going I was asked to play a role in that and I was more than happy to do it.”

The primary founders of The Refinery are from Marion, giving the organization local roots, a common trait for local coworking spaces.

“The community foundation that funded this, the primary organizing group; they’re all Marion-rooted citizens,” Wechsler said. “That’s typically the way these things take root is there’s a citizen or a group of citizens that want to try to change their community and that’s how all this starts.”

Wechsler said that much of his interaction with The Refinery was in the early stages of its development. As for the final touches, that will be up to those in charge.

“It was definitely much more in the early days in terms of structure, what functional elements do they want to have in place, how do they engage the community, how do they engage sponsors and constituents,” Wechsler said. “I was involved early on in the structural

elements of how you put a place like this together. When it comes down to opening and how they are going to actually operate it, that fall much more on the local organizers. We’re still available as a resource and ready to help them.”

As far as similarities to Launch Fishers, Wechsler thinks The Refinery will share common areas for entrepreneurs to work, dedicated spaces and the idea of a small coffee shop.

“I think all those are common core elements. You’ll see it very much mimics Launch Fishers in the functionality,” Wechsler said.

Relationships: Maintaining intimacy in marriage Commentary by Logan Everett Healthy families begin with healthy relationships. When children are born, they immediately need help. They require consistent and constant care and attention. Most family parents ask the same question, “What do we do now?”

John Gottman states that the greatest gift a couple can give their baby is a loving relationship – not between parent and child, but between mother and father. So what is true when babies come into our lives?

• Both parents work harder, but both feel underappreciated.

• During the first year, the frequency and intensity of relationship conflicts increase.

• Moms usually become very involved with their babies.

Due to fatigue, they have less to offer their partners emotionally.

• Both parents undergo major changes in their own identities – values may change, goals in life, etc.

The quality of the parent-child bonding largely depends on the quality of the couple satisfaction. So how do couples maintain intimacy in the midst of added stress, irritability, emotional exhaustion, and increased conflict? Below are four practical ways to focus on intimacy: Soften how you begin a discussion You can accomplish this by: 1. Stating how you feel 2. Describing the problem in a neutral, non-blaming way.

3. Say what you need or what you do not need.

Accept influence from each other 1. Ask questions to understand the other’s viewpoint 2. Restate it – ask open-ended questions Calm down by self-soothing 1. Take a break – create a nonverbal cue to use to indicate

that you need a break (no rude gestures) 2. Commit to give each other a break even if one does not need one.

3. Set a time to return to talk Compromise 1. Define a positive need. What will make you feel safe?

2. Define areas of flexibility. When and how you and your partner get what you need.

3. Set a temporary compromise.

How will you maintain intimacy when baby comes?

Time for some fall fix-ups Commentary by Michael VandenBerg Well, we all made it to Labor Day. Some of you are glad to have made it through the summer, others of you are sad to see religion the summer gone. Whichever you are, the reality is that summer is almost gone; fall is just around the corner and for most of us, that means trying to squeak in all of those last minute repair projects. For me, it is repainting the deck and getting the outdoor lighting back into good repair before it turns so cold that I no longer want to be working outdoors.

As you take inventory of all the fall fix-ups and projects, why not look at how you might improve the quality of your life as well as your property.

Every year, churches all over America invite the community “Back to Church.” Kids have settled into school, clubs have gotten up and running, all the heath appointments have been made and the hectic schedules all come into play. Let me then personally invite you to take time to relax, be at peace, get away from the mad crush, so you can return to work refreshed. The Bible calls this time away Sabbath. It is one day in seven where God himself calls us to stop all that we are doing, come to him and find rest so we can face the challenges of the coming week.

On Sept. 20, churches in the area, including the one that I serve at the YMCA in Lawrence, will observe “Back to Church” Sunday and invite the community to come and experience church again or for the first time. You may have been hurt by the church, a pastor, a lack of care and concern or maybe just didn’t find it significant for your life. But then, that was then and this is now. I hope you will give the church, whichever one you choose, another chance. Chances are real good that you won’t find the perfect church, (it doesn’t exist) or that you won’t find people who aren’t broken, flawed, imperfect, and yes, even hypocrites. But that’s exactly the point isn’t it, that there is a place for all of the imperfect people to go and find acceptance. Why not give CHURCH a second chance? What have you got to lose but your loneliness, isolation and having to do life on your own. We care and we want you to know that God loves you and so do we.

Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org

“There are so many things in a state run facility that you’re not allowed to express. We’re allowed to address the whole child; the academic, the spiritual, the fine and gross motor skills. Other places are really geared towards academics only, so I feel like you’re leaving out a really big part of teaching the child,” said Stephanie Murphy, academy director.

A key factor behind Geist Academy is its dedication to professionalism.

“When we decided to put this together we opted for professional management, not volunteer,” Ken Booster, marketing coordinator, said. “You have to go through all the background checks and everything a regular teacher would go through.

We’re using professionals and we have got some great professionals.”

“All of our teachers are CPR, First Aid and AED trained and then they either have to have their CDA, 10 plus years of experience or they have to be working on it. I want my staff to be very well qualified in what they are doing,” Murphy said.

The academy serves children from ages infant to 12 years old. For kids aged infant to 6 years, the academy acts as topnotch pre-school ensuring that students are fully prepared for kindergarten when they leave.

“We do two assessments,” Murphy said. “We do one in the spring and one in the fall and that lines up with the ISTAR-KR which is what the state of Indiana uses to test kids when they come in for kindergarten, so we have a real good picture of where that child is at. We are really geared to make sure those kids are ready.”

For kids ages 6 to 12, the Academy acts as a before- and

after-school program.

“Between the ages of 6 and 12; those are school kids,” Booster said. “So the whole idea is they get dropped off in the morning because mom/dad is on their way to work. They don’t have to leave them at home. They can stay here, spend an hour or two here and then they go to school. We can arrange for the bus, so the school bus picks them up. After school, the school bus drops them off and they’ve got activities they can do here. They can do their homework and we have someone that can help them with that.”

In order to make the academy a true one-stop shop, Murphy explained that they were looking into bringing extracurricular activities to the school, such as karate, ballet and soccer.

“The idea behind that is if the kids can do that while they are here, that’s one thing parents don’t have to do after they pick up because they’re already here, they’ve had it and so when you pick them up you can be done,” Murphy said.

For those interested in trying Geist Academy, but are worried about the upfront fees, Geist Academy is offering an opportunity for new candidates.

“We’re doing something a little different,” Booster explained.

“If you bring your child here we’ll waive the upfront fees and you pay for two weeks and we’ll give you two weeks free.

Then at the end of that period of time you can decide if we’re doing a good job.”

“I think we look at things a little differently than the average place: a little more personal, a little more oriented toward the Geist resident and a little bit more of an understanding of who our client is,” Booster said.

Just how short is her memory?

“If it’s all the same to you, Mr. Trump, I would rather you stop cherishing women and start respecting women.” - Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking at a campaign event in Portsmouth, N.H. We haven’t stopped laughing at that one. This is from the same person that worked with her husband in an attempt to destroy Monica Lewinsky back in the 1990s.

We’re sure you recognize that name. In a fantastic article by the late, great Christopher Hitchens, wherein he wrote about a lunch he had with long-time Clinton aide, Sidney Blumenthal, we learned exactly how much “respect” the Clintons have for women. During that lunch, Blumenthal discussed how the White House was going to destroy Lewinsky’s life by labeling her a “stalker” and “blackmailer.” This is the typical Clinton M.O.: Trash your accusers. We only bring this up because this is just one example how the Clintons “respect” women. Oh, not to worry about Blumenthal; he’s still an active adviser to a candidate for president.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Positively honest

Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from that which is the longest lived. Sixteenth century Priest, St. Vincent de Paul, described the nature of the stories we tell thusly: Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying. His fairly stark and binary contrast brings forward an interesting supposition. As we are increasingly identified by our persona online, how do we remain humble and still meet the expectations of the world-wide-web?

Webinars, meetings and colloquia dedicated to putting our best electronic foot forward have become ubiquitous in our inboxes. We are told that social media is an imperative to success in business – and perhaps in life.

Moreover, we must carefully curate our web presence to honestly portray ourselves – but do it in a way likely to put us in the MOST positive light. Some of us clearly take the messaging to an extreme. Photos slide from optimistic to intentionally deceitful. But, who determines what’s gone too far?

As communities are redefined, our traditional methods of vetting affiliates are

proving inadequate. Where we formerly relied upon personal recommendations, we now turn to unknown and often unidentified web-writers to direct our decisionmaking. A lifetime of civic involvement and network building can be supplanted by an effective and well-designed web presence.

Surely, it begins to equalize access. Yet, it also brings considerable peril.

People can completely manufacture themselves on the web. Likewise, we can anonymously destroy the lives of those with whom we have some real or imagined beef. Do humility, truth, pride, and dishonesty assume completely different meanings in a digital age; or, do they carry the same standards applied in a much broader way?

How do we manage to honestly advance our message above the noise of a medium which delivers lies and truth with equal speed and abundance?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.

Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

– Winston Churchill

Our friends Len and Helen invited us and some other church members to their house to play Bocce. Len read it was humor a great sport for Unitarians. But it might have said septuagenarians—he wasn’t sure. A player tosses the pallino, a small ball, down the court and then teams compete to see who can throw additional balls, which are a bit larger, closest to the target ball.

Simple enough, but soon a dispute arose when Myrna heaved the pallino onto the neighbor’s lawn and we didn’t know whose turn was next or how many points her team lost, and Martin wanted to know if we all stunk so much it was time to find another church activity.

To avoid any future confusion, I bought a book called “The Joy of Bocce.” I already owned “The Joy of Cooking” and “The Joy of Sex,” although both of them were put in storage before we started to remodel our kitchen.

The author summarizes, “Some people think it’s just a game of throwing bigger balls at a smaller ball.” Then the rest of the book is about how to throw a big ball at a smaller ball. Mario wonders why bocce can’t get more TV coverage. (Maybe when this Donald Trump thing dies down.)

Determining whose ball is closest to the pallino is exacting. “When the distances are smaller than your foot, use a pencil, pieces of twigs and even a car antenna.” Apparently, the idea of a tape measure never dawned on these people. Precise measurement is important. When you have eight solid wooden balls the size of grapefruits, unlimited beer and cranky old people, you want to avoid any potential conflict.

There is also a chapter on Bocce etiquette, which includes not thinking too long over a shot, and maintaining emotional control. But my favorite is number three: DON’T WANDER OFF. Maybe that’s why Len keeps leaving me a voicemail message asking where I am. ( For Dick’s complete column go to www. geistcurrent.com)

A true catastrophe Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hand & Arm Pain Seminar Join Dr. Christy Kellams, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, as she presents different treatment options for common hand and arm problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, repetitive use and other conditions. A light dinner will be served.

You may recall that last week I was all chuckles after coming home and discovering that my husband Doo had humor been the first responder on a rather messy plumbing issue.

And you may have also guessed (and been correct) that I was exaggerating a hair when I declared said issue a “catastrophe.” Well, I’m not laughing now, nor is the word catastrophe sufficient to describe what actually transpired.

It seems our beloved dogwood tree found a crack in the main sewage pipe and decided to extend her roots into all of its glorious, nutrient-rich cargo. This woody tangle along with paper products, red hair balls, and various other not-easily-degradable “items” eventually created a gloopy enough blockage to impress even the most seasoned heart surgeon. One flush of the main floor toilet was all it took to bring most of the contents back up, out onto our hardwood and carpeted floors, down the air vents and through the ceiling of our finished basement.

Neither of us initially thought the damage was bad. In fact, we allowed our son to sleep two nights in his room despite the still-damp carpet and slightly-off odor. [Parents of the

year!] But once the remediation people came through, we learned we were being exposed to nothing short of nuclear radiation. “This is DEFCON One people! We need blowers, heaters, suction, and drains. Let’s move, let’s MOVE!” We’re looking at thousands of dollars in restoration, including new flooring and drywall, landscaping, and of course, an updated sewer line. I can’t step foot in the house right now without threading my way through rubberized venting mats, sinuous air hoses and obnoxiously loud industrial dryers. And despite having the AC set at 71, the constantly running motors keeps the air temperature over 85, leaving us all grumpy and a tad bit sleep-deprived.

The good news? We have insurance, no one got hurt (or sick), and most importantly, it wasn’t my fault. [I’ve been known to leave the sink on for our cat and may have once caused a small flood.] The bad news? I’m not laughing anymore.

Peace out.

Celebration of Bands Sept. 18-19

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Celebration of Bands will provide spectators with a wide variety of music and instruments highlighting different eras for the first time this year in Carmel.

Charles Conrad, who organized the bands, said there will be a whole spectrum of musical styles.

“We’ll have some classical music and definitely have some Broadway and Hollywood music, some British brass band and a Civil War band,” said Conrad, the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor.

All the concerts on Sept. 18 and 19 are free. The Sept. 18 performances will be held in Arts & Design District while the Sept.

19 performances will start outside the Palladium at 2 p.m. and move inside the Palladium for Grand Finale Concert at 7:30 p.m.

“We hope to fill up the Palladium (1,601 seats),” Conrad said.

One of the unique performers will be the Eiger Alphorn Duo. The duo will perform with their 12-foot long wooden horns outside the Palladium at 3:45 p.m. and at 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 19.

The alphorn is known mostly in the Switzerland and the Alpine regions of Europe. The duo performs on authentic instruments, complete with Tachten (authentic Swiss and German costumes). Peggy DeMers and Vicki Wheeler, the duo, will join the

Indiana Wind Symphony to perform “Concertino for Alphorns and Wind Symphony” by Gottfried Veit.

Joining the Indiana Wind Symphony will be guest trumpet soloist Patrick Hession at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18. Hession also will perform a solo with the Middle School Honors Band at 5 p.m. on Sept. 19 and will be involved in the Grand Finale Concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. inside the Palladium.

“He’s a phenomenal trumpet player. He was Maynard Ferguson’s last lead player,” Conrad said.

Saxton’s Cornet Band, one of the top Civil War bands in the country, will play at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 and then again during the Grand Finale.

“They play authentic pieces you would have heard in the Civil War days,” Conrad said. “They were the very first ones I thought of because I wanted to make sure we had a Civil War band. They were absolutely my first choice.”

The Middle School Honors Band will be paired with the Indianapolis New Horizons Band.

“Most of the New Horizons band are seniors and most played instruments in high school,” Conrad said. “Once they retired they decided to form a band.”

The Middle School Honors Band is made up of Carmel’s three middle schools and Hamilton Southeastern’s four middle schools.

Hopkins and Miller’s Sunset Jazz Band will have the opening performance at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. Next up is Indy Winds Flute Choir, who will use a contrabass flute.

“I’ve never even seen one, let alone heard one in a concertbased setting,” Conrad said.

The Starry Knights Big Band will perform as the Swinging Sergeants in the first day’s final act at 8:30 p.m., performing World War II-era Big Band music.

Civil War recreation band on showcase at ‘Celebration’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Like any other starving college kid, David Goins was just looking for a gig.

So the University of Kentucky student took one with the Saxton’s Cornet Band in 1992.

“I fell in love with it,” said Goins, who has been a regular ever since.

The Saxton’s Cornet Band, based in central Kentucky, travels everywhere to perform Civil War-era music in actual instruments from Goins the era.

“We’re trying to promote this era of music,” said Goins, who serves in the role of a general manager for the band. “We’re trying to prevent it from being lost.”

Saxton’s Cornet Band is a modern recreation of a Civil War brass band that was started in the late 1850s in Lexington, Ky. Henry Saxton had a group of musicians through 1910. Goins, 43, said the modern band formed in 1989.

“We played every type of historical event and music festival,” said Goins. whose group played several years at Conner Prairie. “We’ve played a presidential inauguration (George W. Bush in 2000), played overseas and been in a

few movies. We’re one of a handful of people who can play the music and play them on original 1860s instruments.”

Saxton’s Cornet Band will perform at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 during the Celebration of Bands outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then will perform with the Indiana Wind Symphony inside the Palladium that evening during the Grand Finale concert. Goins serves as the solo E flat cornet performer.

Goins, the musical director for First United Methodist Church in Frankfort, Ky., said they

play the music from the Library of Congress site so the music is exactly what you would have heard during the Civil War. “With the exception of the drums, all the instruments are 150 years old,” Goins said.

Goins said the sound is a lot softer than what a brass band sounds like today.

“We’ve come a long way with technology and we’ve made them where they are much more brilliant and they’re a lot louder,” Goins said.

Goins said the group has about 20 mem-

bers with a different group attending each time. About 12 to 14 are expected to play at the Carmel concerts.

The band brings a narrator for its show.

One of the highlights will be a world premiere of piece written by composer James Curnow. The Indiana Wind Symphony will join the Saxton’s Cornet Band in the performance.

Goins said it’s an 11-minute work that uses narration from diary entries from the Civil War. The piece is called “With Malice Towards None,” which is a quote from Abraham Lincoln’s second presidential inaugural address.

“We’re excited. It’s going to be cool,” Goins said. “We’ve been working on it for four years.

We’re trying to see what an authentic Civil War band sounds like within the texture of modern wind band. It’s going to sound like a movie score. We’re stepping outside our mission which is just playing music from the fouryear period to hopefully educate people and bridge the time gap.”

They use saxhorns developed by Adolph Sax, who later invented the saxophone.

“They were all the rage in the 19th century,” Goins said. “There is soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass and we have two drummers. So all the instruments are voiced just like a choir.”

Brainard: Celebration of Bands gives local economy boost

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a former high school French horn player and son of a band director, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard is an enthusiastic supporter of music.

So, naturally, he didn’t have to be sold on putting the city’s support behind Celebrations of Bands in Carmel on Sept. 18 and 19.

“Part of our economic development strategy with the Palladium was to bring groups to Carmel for children and youth contests, much like the International Violin competition in InBrainard dianapolis,” Brainard said. “Every instrument in an orchestra or band has a national contest, so where else but in center of the country with a beautiful concert hall, safe, clear area with good air connections. This is part of the strategy. We would like to see many more groups and organizations see the Palladium and our neat downtown as their home base.”

The Sept. 18 performances will be in the downtown Arts & Design District. The Sept. 19 performances will held outside The Center for the Performing Arts and then the Grand Finale will be inside the Palladium.

“Plenty of people will be spending money in our hotels and at our restaurants, other businesses,” said Brainard, who plans to attend both days of concerts. “It’s good economic development for Carmel plus it provides a great event for people here to enjoy. Hopefully, it has a major impact with large groups coming. It really helps our small business people out.”

Brainard said it will be good for Carmel students to see the best in the country.

“They can compare how they are doing vis-a-vis the best performers their age,” he said.

Charles Conrad, who is coordinating the two-day event, said it was Brainard’s idea to put together a Middle School Honor Band because he wanted to get the students and schools involved.

Brainard, a 1972 Elkhart (Ind.) High School (now Elkhart Central) graduate, loves the idea of music being a full-time passion.

He said his father, Jack Brainard, who died in 2013 at age 85, directed New Horizon Seniors Band in his retirement.

“He would have people in their 70s start an instrument for the first time,” Brainard said. “Music is something you can do your entire life. You can build friendships. It’s a great thing for people to do.”

The Edelweiss Alphorn Duo will perform on Saturday, Sept.

19. (Submitted photo)

Schedule of Events Charles Conrad conducts the Indiana Wind Symphony. Conrad is leading the efforts for the first year of the Celebration of Bands in Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Jack directed the Bristol High School band before it consolidated with Elkhart Schools. Jack then directed bands at two middle schools in the Elkhart school system.

Brainard recalled meeting Conrad, a 1972 Indianapolis Arlington High School graduate, at band camp when they were 10 or 11 years old. Conrad is the Indiana Wind Symphony conductor. “(Celebration of Bands) was mostly my brainchild but I would say Jim Brainard had a lot to do with it,” Conrad said. “He’s obviously very committed to the arts. Particularly one of the facets of it we’re going to talk about music being a life-long pursuit whether you do it as a profession, whether you do it as hobby or whatever. We want to show extracurricular actives don’t have to be something that ends when you leave high school. At 77, you’re not going to play tackle football but you can play the saxophone. One of my all-time trumpet idols, Doc Severinsen just turned 88, and he’s still soloing with major symphonies around the country.”

Creekside Middle School Honor Band to be in the spotlight

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Celebration of Bands will have a unique aspect of a band put together solely for the five-song performance.

The Middle School Honor Band is made up of about 60 top members from Carmel’s three middle schools and Hamilton Southeastern’s four middle schools. Wendy Higdon, director of bands for Carmel’s Creekside Middle School and Middle School Honors Band committee chairman, said it’s close to being evenly divided among the seven schools.

The Indianapolis New Horizons Band, made up of older band members, and the Middle School Honor Band will share the one-hour spot starting at 5 p.m. outside The Center for the Performing Arts.

Murder and hilarity ensue at the Belfry in ‘The Butler Did It’

By Navar Watson • new@geistcurrent.com

It’s your typical dark and stormy night. On a remote island off San Francisco Bay, wealthy socialite Miss Maple invites a theater group of detective writers to a lavish party at Ravenswood Manor, insisting that each come portraying their famed detective characters for the funfilled weekend.

All goes well until suddenly a guest turns up dead and the detective writers try to act like, well, actual detectives.

Tim Kelly’s “The Butler Did It” promises a “mixture of edge-of-the-seat [tension] and gut-wrenching laughs,” according to director Jeff Bick. The play runs eight times at the Belfry Theatre Sept. 18 – Oct. 4.

“It’s one of those great plays where you have the big reveal at the end, but there are so many other things that surprise you throughout,” said Kelly BeDell, who plays the maid. “It just wets your appetite. … It keeps you on your toes.”

Bick said every character in the show is a caricature or tribute to a famous mystery character in mainstream media. Any murder mystery fan might recognize different personalities and plot points.

Among the fictional detectives are a Sherlock Holmes-type; a priest based off Father Dowling; a “famous oriental detective;” Rick and Laura Carlyle, based of Nick and Nora Charles; a hard-bitten gumshoe; and a female James Bond.

The audience soon finds out, however, that the writers pale in comparison to the wits of their famed creations.

“Their creations are much better detectives than they are, and that is an understatement,” Bick said. “They’re nowhere near as smart as they think they are. … That’s where the com-

the butler did it Where: 10690 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville When: Sept. 18 – Oct. 4, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays (Sept. 27 and Oct. 4) at 2 p.m.

Cast: Jean Adams as Miss Maple, Barb Weaver as Rita Eyelesbarrow, Kelly BeDell as Haversham, Tim Long as Father White, Greg Dunn as Chandler Marlowe, Eddie Booher as Louie Fan, Zach Buzan and Brenna Campbell as Rick and Laura Carlyle, Ryan Shelton as Peter Flimsey and Valerie Pearce as Charity Haze Cost: $15 for adults and $12 for children 12 and younger; special dinner/show combo tickets for $50 per person, including three-course meal at Matteo’s.

edy is.”

Though often played as a farce, the Belfry’s version of “The Butler Did It” will have a more realistic tone, intertwined with comedic elements. It’s a challenge, Bick said, to not let the actors cross over into farce.

The challenge for the actors is playing characters with so many layers, actor Brenna Campbell said.

“Everybody has a secret, and that’s something you find out within the first, maybe, 10 minutes of the play,” Campbell said. “[As an actor] you have to walk the balance with what you know as a character with what you don’t

want to give away.”

“The Butler Did It” is a family-friendly show, Bick said.

The Belfry is offering a special ticket on Saturdays that includes a three-course dinner and the show. Guests start their night at Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano in Noblesville and end it at the Belfry. Details are on the Belfry’s website.

Bick hopes this show will help audiences see the quality of community theatre.

Area artists in Hoosier Salon show

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Proudly Presents

Hamilton County and Zionsville artists are well represented in the 91st annual Hoosier Salon 91st exhibition at the Eugene art and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Indianapolis.

“It’s the longest running show of its kind in the state,” said Jim May, Hoosier Salon executive director.

“It’s the creme de la creme of the people who got in per the judge’s requirements,” said Richard Anderson, manager of Carmel’s Hoosier Salon gallery. “There are approximately 150 pieces with sculptures and everything else. Everything in the show is for sale.”

Following the show, Anderson said the majority of the pieces will be featured in the gallery, 22 N. Range Line Rd. “We’ll pick what we think are the strongest ones from the show for our consignment gallery in Carmel,” May said.

Mic Mead, Westfield, had two pieces in the juried show and his sculpture won best threedimensional work of art.

According to Hoosier Salon, the artists from Carmel with pieces in the show are: Robert Bratton, Charlene Brown, Karen Fehr, Nancy Graffis, Jerry Mannell, Pamela Niccum and R.

Dance Discovery series set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Geist honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District.

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 15.

As The Center for the Performing Arts community engagement manager, Julia ShildmyerHeighway was seekperformances ing a way to connect the public with the Palladium’s concert lineup.

She came up with the Dance Discovery Series.

“A lot of people don’t think they can dance, but my opinion is everybody can dance,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “If you have a short session like this you’ll have more familiarity with it and when you come see the performance you’ll be better connected to it.”

The series starts with Flamenco instruction on Sept. 30, followed by Compania Flamenca Jose Porcel’s show on Oct. 9 “You don’t have to come to the performance to take the class but of course it’s encouraged,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “When we got the season (schedule), we looked for which shows would lend themselves to doing a lesson. We started researching to find the instructors that would work well with each.”

The cost is $18 per participant. If a participant signs up for the series of six, one session is free.

Award winning ballet dancer, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, will share the stories of Giselle and Cinderella in the Jan. 6 Ballet session.

“Each one is a little different but most of the classes are capped at 20 to 25 students,” Shildmyer-Heighway said. “We are getting interest from all different ages.”

The instructional sessions, which begin at 6:30 p.m., are held in various locations around The Center for the Performing Arts.

The other sessions are: Bollywood on Oct. 21, followed by Bollywood Masala Orchestra Nov. 1; Country Line Dancing Nov. 11, followed by Ronnie Milsap Farewell Tour Nov. 20; Ballet Mime with Alyona Yakovleva-Randall Jan. 6, followed

These dense dark bars will thrill your tailgaters. (Submitted photo) Presented by

What do tailgaters want in a dessert?

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Whether it’s you brain center telling you that you have to have something sweet, or you are still hungry, almost every tailgater in the lot wants a dessert after a sandwich and side dish.

If it were just the need for a sweet, we’d probably see a lot more candy bars at tailgate parties.

Tailgate chefs seem to pride themselves in their desserts as much as they do their main course foods. Just look around and you’ll see cakes, cookies, pastries and even slices of pie.

There is a physical problem, however, with most desserts at a tailgate party – they have to be easy to eat. They shouldn’t require a plate, forks or spoon. They shouldn’t make one’s hands so sticky that he or she is forced to look for a basin in which to wash. And still importantly – tailgate desserts have to taste good! So, if you want a dessert that is easy to eat, and something creative and delicious, you should serve bars.

Here’s a great bar recipe for Marmalade Brownies by Marie Simmons, a former columnist for “Bon Appetite” and author of “Bar Cookies A to Z.” Marie and I exchanged ideas

and books when “The Tailgater’s Handbook” first came out. These dense dark bars will thrill your tailgaters.

Ingredients: 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 2 large eggs beaten, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, Pinch of salt Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a nine-inch square, baking pan.

Melt butter and chocolate in a nonaluminum saucepan. Remove pan from the heat. Add the brown sugar and marmalade and beat with a wooden spoon until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir. Now add the flour, walnuts and salt; stir to blend. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges began to pull away from the pan.

Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Is it time to part with a stock?

Commentary by Joe Clark Investing triggers many emotions; especially when there is a personal attachment to a company and its stock. Personal attachment to companies – especially to former employers or businesses associated with a favorite hobby – is understandable but finance financially dangerous.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s I owned a Harley Davidson motorcycle and Harley stock. We traveled the nation’s highways and attended many rallies including the 100th anniversary celebration. I kept the memories, but not the stock. When conditions change, investors must be willing to part with investments.

The notion of selling a stock runs counter to what many people believe is prudent because of taxes and transaction costs. While both are valid considerations, there are times when it is wise to part ways with a company’s stock.

Just because you sell a stock doesn’t mean you can’t buy it back if conditions change.

Legendary investor Warren Buffet at Berkshire Hathaway appears to share this view. Buffet is known for his long-term perspective

and is not in any fashion a short-term trader.

Instead, his team looks for opportunities that include new investments as well as companies formerly owned.

Viewing an investment portfolio during times of market volatility makes it tempting to base decisions purely on price, but price shouldn’t be the overriding factor influencing a sell. It is important to ensure the current trajectory of the economy is supporting a company’s business model and that the company’s management is executing effectively.

Certainly, investors should be aware of taxation and transaction costs when making changes. But these factors shouldn’t compel an investor to hold poorly performing stocks over the long run. Ignore that little voice that says, “As soon as (company) gets back to (price) I will sell.” Things change and it’s an investor’s job to recognize those changes.

Stress is one thing that no one really can escape. No matter who you are, you have likely felt “stressed out” from wellbeing time to time, and for some of us a part of every day.

Stress causes mental tolls such as depression and anxiety, and physical tolls such as increased blood pressure levels and even extra weight around your midsection. While you can’t get rid of stressful situations, you can reduce its toll on you.

Making sure you get a good night’s rest becomes all the more important for your body to deal with the impact of stress from the day.

Two of the best supplements that can help you shutdown are GABA and ZMA. GABA is a natural neuro-inhibitory transmitter and helps calm your brain activity and help a racing mind shutdown for the night. And ZMA can help you get more from your sleep.

Fight the effects of stress with ashwagandha, which is an herb with stress-relieving

properties. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, or an herb that helps stabilize physiological processes and cellular sensitivity to stress. This powerful herb can significantly reduce anxiety and as well reduce cortisol levels from stress that increases fat storage. Ashwagandha can help you resist the damaging effects of stress so you can feel revitalized and recharged.

Support your brain health when under stress by making sure you have sufficient Omega 3 essential fatty acids, which our diets are often deficient in. Docosahexaenoic acid found in Omega 3’s is particularly critical to brain health, and in fact DHA makes up to 20 percent of our cerebral cortex. DHA supports brain activity and mood, and it’s the break down of brain activity that leads to anxiety and depression.

1. A larger deck footprint was designed for a more functional space.

2. Roof line locations were carefully considered to allow unobstructed views, while blocking harsh sunlight.

3. Retractable screens were installed to provide a golf ball and insect barrier.

4. Maintenance-free Trex decking materials finished off the floor.

5. Amenities such as a television, high ceiling fan, and recessed lighting completed the inviting space.

The original decking forced the residents to provide constant maintenance. With no roof, the space was always exposed to harsh sunlight, insects, and the occasional stray golf ball. The biggest challenge was to keep the roof height high enough to not obstruct golf course views, and to not interfere with the great room windows.

Temple of Ba’al in Palmyra, Syria, in November 2010 (Photo by Don Knebel)

Palmyra: Deplorable destruction Commentary by Don Knebel

On July 9, 2013, I wrote this about an ancient temple to Ba’al in Palmyra, Syria, which I visited in November 2010: “When travel the fighting is over and a trip to Syria becomes possible once more, Palmyra provides a wonderful opportunity to see what the Jewish Second Temple probably looked like before its destruction ‌â€?

Sadly, my prediction has been proven false.

ISIS, which captured Palmyra in May 2015, has obliterated Palmyra’s extraordinary temple.

For persons living in Syria in the early first century, the most important god was Ba’al (or Bel), who was related to the god whose worship by the Israelites so vexed the Hebrew prophets. Palmyra’s temple to Ba’al was dedicated in 32 A.D., about the same time that Jesus was at the Temple in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. The two temple complexes were very similar. Each had a Roman-style courtyard surrounded by thick colonnaded walls with impressive gates. Each included a tall building near the rear of the courtyard housing a holy of holies that only priests could

enter. Each had an altar of undressed stones for sacrificing animals. It is likely that the architects of the Palmyra temple either intentionally drew upon the design of the Jewish Temple or both drew upon a common source.

Meticulous reconstruction of Palmyra’s temple that began in 1929 presented a now-lost opportunity to envision the design of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Unfortunately, the destruction of the Palmyra temple is not the first time intolerant religious beliefs have led to the destruction of irreplaceable cultural treasures. For example, early Christians damaged and defaced Egyptian temples because they rejected the beliefs the temples represented. But historical precedents cannot make the malicious destruction of part of the common heritage of humanity any less deplorable.
