Mike Corbett discusses some of his new ideas for the city April 16 during a mayoral forum hosted by the Noblesville Rotary Club at First Presbyterian Church in Noblesville.

Ditslear, Corbett spar on economic development

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

It was billed as a forum not a debate.

Nonetheless, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and his opponent, Mike Corbett, forum squared off at a Noblesville Rotary Club breakfast session at the First Presbyterian Church of Noblesville on April 16.

The primary is set for May 5. Ditslear, who beat Corbett four years ago, is seeking his fourth term. Corbett launched a late campaign as an independent candidate in 2011. Ditslear won with 4,283 votes compared to 2,292 for Corbett.

The candidates faced four topics: economic development, vision for historic downtown, a plan for tourism and recreation and public safety, and then had time for a few questions from the audience. The first and most contentious issue was the city’s economic development.

Corbett, who owns the Hamilton County Media Group, said he would like to see more ambitious planning to recruit businesses to the corporate campus. Corbett said Noblesville has the second highest tax rate in Hamilton County.

“I would like to see more focus on the nuts and bolts of recruiting businesses to town and less focus on the ribbon cuttings and job fairs and the sort of public relations of economic development,” he said.

Corbett said the city giving BlueSky Technology Partners $3.5 million over the next 20 years to stay and grow in Noblesville was a bad sign.

“I would suggest that when we get to the

point we have to offer millions of dollars for companies just to stay here, that our economic development has gotten off track and I would like to see us do a little better job than that,” he said. “I’m not in favor of throwing money at the problem, I think we have to be careful about the economic incentives we give to people to stay.

We do have to be aggressive about economic development in Noblesville.”

Corbett said he believes that Ditslear didn’t hire the most qualified economic development director.

Ditslear bristled at Corbett’s comments.

“In spite of what you heard, I think we’ve done a great job in economic development,” Ditslear said. “We have grown our economy. We’ve added hundreds of jobs. We’ve increased our tax base.”

Ditslear said SMC America headquarters has brought more than 600 employees to Noblesville. Helmer Scientific has doubled its size by 170,000 square feet and doubled its number of employees. He pointed out Cabela’s, a retail outfitter for hunting, fishing and outdoors gear, is scheduled to open in the fall. Ditslear praised the 80,000-square foot building for the store.

Pharmakon Pharmacy and its manufacturing affiliate Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals will move its headquarters from Carmel to Noblesville by 2016. Zevacor Molecular, a health care firm, also purchased a 72,000-square foot building in 2014.

Ditslear defended the work of economic development director Judi Johnson, praising her

communications skills.

“It’s all about relationships in that business and attracting people to here,” he said. “We are very active with the state and the JapaneseAmerican Society. We have boots on the ground getting the job done. Certainly we’ll defend that.

I would put (his team) against any economic development group in the state of Indiana.”

Ditslear said as the county seat, Noblesville’s downtown is older and many buildings have been there for 200 years.

“Unlike some of the other communities that are maybe getting credit because they didn’t have a downtown (before),” he said. “We were fortunate 200-some years ago we were picked to be the county seat. That has some advantages and disadvantages. We are proud of the culture and authenticity of our downtown and the history of downtown.

“It’s (downtown) is the heart and soul of Noblesville. We work hard to make it vibrant. We have the Street Dance, First Fridays and Jazz on the Square and all those activities to entice people to come downtown. We have movies downtown and we’re lucky to have vintage cars coming there on Saturday nights in the summer. We have a goal of expanding downtown to the west and we’re starting to accomplish that goal.”

Corbett said he believes the downtown area needs more attention.

“Frankly, we’ve had very little private investment in downtown,” he said.

Local church to expand

By Michelle WIlliams news@currentnoblesville.com

Since its inception in 1991, Grace Church has had a deep commitment to plant churches with similar philosophical valGrowth ues to its own. Over the years, the leaders of the church have helped to plant many new startups.

More than two decades later, the church has initiated a comprehensive strategy called “re:generate” to plant new campuses of its own across the state and internationally.

The expansion started with the September launch of the first satellite campuses in Fishers. Plans include new campuses in Bloomington, north Indianapolis and the first international church in London.

Dave Rodriguez, senior pastor at Grace Church, says that the first step in starting a new campus is to develop leadership and a support team. Usually, a period of two years is spent developing the team prior to building a permanent site. Currently, the church has selected pastors for the Bloomington and London locations.

Grace Church is working with long-time Kenyan partner, Nairobi Chapel, to plant the London church. The church may be the first of

Time flies.

its kind, formed on one continent by leaders from two other continents. Project leaders have been unable to identify another example like it in their research, which includes contact with a wide network of other churches across the globe.

“It’s a formidable task,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a lot to blend.” Cultural differences will inevitably impact international locations. Rodriguez said he is hopeful that the London church will open its doors within two years.

Within the state, the major college towns are the focus. He said the church aims to connect with students who come from all over the world, “with the hopes that they will return to their home countries with transformed lives.”

Main Street goes upstairs downtown news@currentnoblesville.com Have you ever wondered what’s above some of the downtown square’s most popular business?

History Most of the upstairs lofts are vacant, offices for businesses, or have been flipped into apartment dwellings over the years.

But on Friday, several downtown Noblesville properties – not normally open to the public – will be available to tour as part of “Upstairs Downtown,” May’s First Friday event with Noblesville Main Street.

The self-guided walking tours around the courthouse square will give guests the opportunity to see the unseen and learn about the history of the buildings.

The Adler Building, located on the southwest corner of Ninth and Maple Streets, will kick off the tour and will be celebrating its 25th anniversary as it transitioned from a church to an office building. This starting point will also feature a complimentary hog roast prepared by Chef Keith Brooks of The Ville.

An additional feature of the tour will be the newly remodeled Noblesville Main Street office located over the Visitors Center.

We are happy so many building and busi-

ness owners are inviting the public to tour their space and see Noblesville from a different view than the public traditionally has seen,” said Chris Owens, executive director of Noblesville Main Street.

Local author Kurt Meyer, and his novel “Noblesville” will be featured at The Wild during the event, as well as a wine tasting hosted by Matteo’s. A party at Syd’s will cap the evening at 8:30 p.m.

Passes can be purchased for $10 each at the Visitors Center at 839 Conner St.

Family advocate recognized for taking on complex family law cases

By Beth Taylor • news@currentnoblesville.com Leslie Henderzahs was recently recognized as a “Super Lawyer” by Super Lawyers, a rating service of lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and personal achievement. This is the fifth time she has received the distinction; no more than 5 percent of the lawcover story yers in Indiana are chosen by the research team each year.

“Families need lawyers who protect the interests of children and families for the long term,” said Henderzahs, after receiving the honor. “We develop strategies to promote agreements, preserve relationships and protect family assets. My firm genuinely cares about families, and that is a distinction from which our clients benefit.

“I focus on sophisticated and complex family law cases. I want our clients to begin from a position of strength so we can develop a plan that benefits the whole family,” she said. “As skilled and caring legal advocates, we help forge positive futures for families despite what can sometimes be a stressful and unpredictable experience.”

After graduating from law school, Henderzahs served the federal courts for two years. She was the law clerk for Honorable J. Patrick Endsely, magistrate-judge of the United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana. She started at Church Church Hittle & Antrim in 1992 and became the first female partner in 1995. “There were eight of us at the time, and I was the only female,” she said. “My partners prided themselves in providing me with challenges and compensating me according to task. They treated me so well, beyond fairly.”

Henderzahs’ strength is litigation. “To win, you’ve got to be better at what you do,” she said. “If you walk into a room and the room is full of people who know each other, then you have to walk into the room and earn their respect. At the end of the day, the person who is most convincing will be successful.”

Henderzahs has never been phased by rumors of good ‘ole boy networks in other counties. “If I knew a county may have a network, then I would just be more sharply prepared,” she said.

During her 25-year career, Henderzahs says that the family dynamic has changed, causing family law to change significantly. One positive she sees is that divorcing parents are now making more of an effort now to create a successful environment for their children.

Henderzahs says that the most rewarding part of her job is knowing that she’s helping families. “It’s satisfying to see a client on the street and her say, ‘Thanks for giving me my life back. We were so unhappy,’ There’s nothing positive for a child when mom and dad aren’t happy.”

Henderzahs intended to work in products liability and injury litigation but found family law to be a natural fit. “I could understand some of the problems that the families were facing.”

As she built her career, she and her husband built a family. Becoming a working mother was a natural fit and added depth to her work. During the workday, she would focus technical arguments and rules of trial procedure to prepare her cases. “There are no higher stakes — you’re talking about children,” she said. Coming home to her three daughters provided the balance for Henderzahs. “When I walked through the door and the kids jumped in my arms, (work) melted away,” she said. “That’s exactly what balanced it for me.”

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pressing forward: A freshened Current Welcome to your new Current. If you notice a slightly different format with the newspaper you’re holding in your hands, you are correct. If you notice a cleaner, brighter presentation with enhanced color reproduction, you’re on target. We have aligned with a different print vendor, not because our previous vendor did anything untoward, but mostly because the new vendor has the capacity to accommodate Current’s growth. It really was that simple … in the end. It was a bittersweet parting, because this, without a doubt, is our most important vendor relationship, and the previous vendor was extremely good to us.

We grew with that outfit, and it grew with us. We were treated like family, and so the decision to part with the company actually took approximately five months at which to arrive. There are so many moving parts that it became an extremely “micro” exercise. But, in the end, it came down to this: There are all sorts of efficiencies that now are available to us in this new relationship, including different methods of advertising-message display and delivery, and we aim to make use of them.

We simply had to do it, because the growth curve of our company has been steep and should be so well into the future. We owe it to our readers and advertisers to be as “current” as possible and to take every opportunity to improve the Current experience.

So with the new vendor, there are presses more modern and a number of processes to enhance presentation of news and advertising to you. Everything is well organized, and we’re encouraged for what we believe the future holds. We urge you to give this newand-improved version of Current a test drive and let us know your thoughts.

Isn’t that special?

Commentary by Terry Anker

As “Saturday Night Live’s” Church Lady might have observed, “well, isn’t that special?” Her snarky and moralizing posture won hordes of fans and pointed to the judgmental nature of many of the imagined religious old guard. Dana Carvey, playing the character in drag, succeeded in securing a load of catchphrases and merchandising money along the way. But even as we enjoy a laugh firmly based in our own superiority over the silly and preening nature of the Church Lady, are we missing our own progressive, but equally judgmental, posture?

Some 3,500 people surrendered their U.S. citizenship last year – a record beating even the previous year’s highest-ever number. Those asked routinely cited the considerable expansion of government and taxation as the reason for their decision to depart. Hmmm. In the meantime, U.S. companies are eyeing the relocation of their corporate operations to some foreign land as they intentionally seek a more attractive regulatory and financial environment in which to remain internationally competitive

(a practice called inversion). Hmmm, again.

Bitter with the embarrassing departures, Mr. Obama has been joined by a number of moralizing church ladies in scolding the erstwhile once Americans as somehow anti-American. Aren’t they behaving in an anti-American fashion by definition? “God bless America, but another choice is better for me.” Regardless of the motivation behind the move, the political aristocracy feels compelled to criticize the moves as immoral. As was the case at the founding of this nation some nearly 250 years ago, folks will gravitate to places where they see the greatest opportunity and away from those they see in decline. Can we blame them?

Should our attention be focused upon the reasons cited for the departure instead of raging at the audacity of their free will?

Are we losing our best and brightest? Do we care? Should we?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.

They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

For the third year in a row, my spring break and my kids’ did not align. Not a huge deal, but it does ix-nay the family vacation.

Last year, my husband Doo said, “Tough tukus!” and decided to take our four children to Florida anyway. I anticipated a magical time, not having to worry about homework or ear infections or rides to practice, and knowing that the house would be clean and quiet for more than three minutes. But with a dog and a cat driving me bonkers the moment I set foot in the house, and without a carefully orchestrated schedule to keep me on task each day, I found myself stumbling around in a discombobulated state of loneliness and mild depression for the better part of the week. I actually wore two different colors of knee-high boots to school one day, such was my out-of-sorts-ness.

Not wanting a repeat of last year’s footwear debacle, I made several key decisions to help me not only survive spring break, but actually enjoy it. The first was to kennel the dog. The entire time. The second was to binge-watch the entire Sherlock series.

Love it! The third, and perhaps the key to the entire fantabulous week, was to schedule a weekend in Louisville to visit my folks.

The cool part of my trip was that I wasn’t in town for a wedding or a shower or a reunion, nor did I make plans to meet up with old friends. Quality moments with the ‘rents was my primary objective. And even better, this was the first time in 20 years that I stayed with Mom and Dad sans husband, children or any of my four sisters. It was just me, them and one delectable pot roast.

Initially, it was a bit weird. I’m so used to competing with either my siblings (including a twin) or the plethora of grandchildren for a smidge of attention that I felt awkward under the limelight. After about five seconds, though, I acclimated and happily accepted the love. Shopping, pedicures, movies, steak dinners and fireside chats filled the most glorious two days of my forties. No worries, no stress, no nothing . . . just fun, relaxation and Kit Kats out the wazoo. As I packed up to leave, all I could think was, “This might have been my life if I’d been an only child and never married.” Dang!

Consequently, I’ve decided to make this bonding weekend an annual event.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Candidate shares plans Editor, In response to citizen concerns of Noblesville, regarding the details of the candidate’s vision and commitment, I would like to present my position for the upcoming election and beyond. Remember a seat on the council is only as good as the leadership from the administration.

My hope is that new leadership from both the executive and legislative branches of government will be elected to bring together the best ideas for the best results for everyone in the community.

What would I do?

1. Open a citizen forum to create a “Noblesville Vision” for all to follow for the next four years and beyond.

2. Reinstate all citizen committees and opportunities for citizens to add to the Vision. Many attempts to include the citizens have been dropped over the years by the current administration. Groups such as the “Downtown Strategic Action Committee” to implement the Strategic Plan, Benchmarking, reviewing elected officials for their accomplishments and do those accomplishment

meet the Vision, and the Historic Preservation Commission that has been dropped also.

If we consider Noblesville to be a historic center, than we need the citizen driven commission. The commission can receive grant money to go toward Old Town improvement.

There are more but these would be my top three committees and commission to reactive immediately.

3. The city has the tools for revitalization efforts in the Historic Downtown and the corridors into the city. Several years ago the entire Noblesville chamber membership voted the top priority was improving the corridors into the city. Nothing has been done. Revitalization of the Historic Downtown and improving the corridors leading to the downtown are a priority.

4. It is vital to immediately review and create a plan for the Historic Downtown center using the existing “shelved” Downtown Master Plan.

What To Expect: Grandparent Visitation Indiana law provides that grandparents may be awarded court-ordered visitation with their grandchildren under the Grandparent Visitation Act (“GVA”). Accordingly, just as a court can grant parents parenting time with their child, a court can similarly grant visitation for a grandparent to spend time with a grandchild. The GVA is intended to strengthen familial bonds of the extended family under certain circumstances.

Following a United States Supreme Court ruling, court-ordered grandparent visitation has been deemed constitutional under certain conditions. Since then, many states, including Indiana, have adopted their own Grandparent Visitation Acts.

Grandparents may only seek visitation with their grandchildren if they have standing. Only in limited circumstances are grandparents able to ask a court to grant visitation rights with their grandchildren. Those circumstances include when: (1) the child’s parent is deceased; (2) the child’s parents have been divorced; or (3) the child was born out of wedlock (if the child’s father has established paternity). If any one or more of these three circumstances are presence, then a Grandparent may seek visitation.

What factors does a court consider in determining whether to award a grandparent visitation? The court weighs several factors, including: (1) a presumption that a fit parent’s decision about grandparent visitation is in the child’s best interests; (2) the “special weight” that must therefore be given to a fit parent’s decision regarding non-parental visitation; (3) “some weight” given to whether a parent has agreed to some visitation or denied it entirely; and (4) whether the petitioning grandparent has established that visitation is in the child’s best interests.

How does the court know if visitation is in the child’s best interest? The court must look at the totality of the circumstances when determining what may be in the child’s best interests. The court may consider a child’s past experiences with a grandparent, the child’s wishes, and the relationship between the parent and the grandparent, etc.

Where do Grandparents file their petition to seek Grandparent Visitation? The petition requesting grandparent visitation should be filed in the county in which the child lives. However, if there has been a divorce between the child’s parents, the petition should be filed with the court that granted the dissolution of marriage.

Can a Great-grandparent seek grandparent visitation? The GVA does not provide great-grandparents the ability to seek grandparent visitation with their great-grandchildren. Currently, however, there is proposed legislation that would amend the GVA to allow great-grandparents the same rights as grandparents under the GVA. Should that legislation pass, great-grandparents would be able to seek visitation with their great-grandchildren.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Candidate criticizes ‘grand vision’ Editor, In election years, it is typical for the incumbents and their supporters to label the challengers as uninvolved, inexperienced, unqualified and momentum stoppers. They are just using negative campaigning to turn voters away from viable candidates whose platforms tell the truth about what is really occurring.

That is the case again this election. Let me demonstrate.

On Dec. 31, 2007, last day as a town, our total property tax rate was $2.52. In 2015 it’s $3.04. During that same period, the city’s rate went from $.33 to $.77. If you listen to the incumbents, our rates are down.

Under Cook and his council, debt has increased from approximately $4 million, in 2007, to more than $66 million in 2014. In a face-to-face discussion with Cook he said to me, “is that all” in describing this more than 17 fold increase. And understand; tens of millions more will occur simply because of the methods they have embraced.

Let’s not forget about the utility sale, effec-

tively a $40+ million tax increase imposed on utility customers via the conscious decision of Cook and his council. We’re now paying approximately 50 percent more per month for the same service!

As for their “grand vision”, more than $50 million has been spent on the sports park yet they haven’t paid for the land? That’s correct; to own the land outright, Westfield still needs to borrow more than $10 million.

These are but a few of the facts that the incumbents would rather we ignored via negative campaigning. To them, Westfield is in a great financial position with more opportunities for them to borrow and spend more of our tax dollars.

In closing, please visit www.getFITwestfield.com to see the commitments FIT candidates have publicly made, our plan and reasons for change.

Editor, I could not agree more with the recent sentiment regarding the lack of details from candidates; “I Love Noblesville” should be more of an expectation for your councilperson and not a platform from which to run. It is an incredible responsibility to manage the hard earned tax dollars of your friends, neighbors and colleagues, and I encourage people to actively reach out, ask specific, detailed and difficult questions and make sure YOUR hard earned tax dollars are being reinvested back in into the community wisely. As accessible or e-accessible as I try to be, with social media, ringing door bells, working downtown and volunteering for community events, it appears there will be only one public forum this year in Noblesville and regrettably it is so late that many people have early voted or made up their minds without getting those ques-

tions answered. So if you have not voted, made up your mind or have concerns, contact the council candidates, via phone, email, in person, social media or check out their websites and most importantly, ask questions and get detailed, specific answers.

Some candidates have been working with Noblesville city departments for years, have had detailed platforms posted for months and are uniquely prepared for the bright future of Noblesville. So when you meet a candidate, standing on your front porch, via the phone or social media, it is very important to reach out and get your questions answered. There will soon be nine council members, managing YOUR tax dollars whether you vote or not, so take time to get your specific questions answered and VOTE!

The Fab Four will perform in Carmel at 8 p.m., May 2.

(Submitted photos)

‘Love affair’ ensues: Fab Four to rock Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Ron McNeill’s love affair with the Beatles began at an early age.

“I borrowed my older sister’s Beatles records and never gave them back,” he said.

While attending a Los Angeles performance Beatles Fest, McNeill watched a contest for sounding or looking like one of the Beatles. He took note of one singer impersonating Paul McCartney.

“I just couldn’t believe he sounded just like Paul McCartney,” McNeill said.

That was Ardy Sarrf, who won the contest.

“The next year I was so inspired I went up there by myself and won as John Lennon,” McNeill said. “I met up with Ardy a couple years later and we formed a group. It’s been our fulltime job for 17 years. It’s the best job in the world. How many people wouldn’t want to be a Beatle?”

The Fab Four, featuring McNeill and Sarrf, will perform at 8

p.m. on May 2 at The Palladium at The Center for Performing Arts in Carmel.

McNeill said his manager has instructed him not to reveal his age.

“But none of us in the group are old enough to have an original Beatles memory,” he said. “Our drummer Erik’s (Fidel) first glimpse of the Beatles was on a VHS tape from the Ed Sullivan Show. It keeps carrying on through generations and generations.”

Fidel performs as Ringo Starr and Gavin Pring takes on the role of George Harrison. Pring actually comes from Liverpool, England, where the Beatles were formed. The group also has understudies at each spot.

McNeill said the group does about 100 dates per year.

“In the early days, we would play about every day,” McNeill said.

The Fab Four visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland the weekend of April 17-18. Starr was inducted as an individual performer on April 18 and was introduced by McCartney.

“We personally invited both of them to our concert on Fri-

day and they didn’t come,” McNeill said. “But we were hoping if they came to our show, we’d get invited to their show. It didn’t work out that time.”

McNeill said The Fab Four played in front of Hall of Fame building for the morning TV news.

While there are tributes for many other groups, McNeill said everybody loves the Beatles, especially musicians.

“Those are some of the first songs you learn,” McNeill said.

“Obviously the Beatles wrote the best songs in the world so it’s always great to imitate them. This is not a cheesy thing.

We take it very seriously when we’re on stage. We want to get as close to those guys as we can. So that we can mirror their own memories in a way.”

The Fab Four are featured in “Come Together: A Beatles Tribute Documentary,” that was produced and directed by Steve Ison and John Scofield, who are based in Indianapolis. The 2014 documentary features 10 of the estimated 8,000 international Beatles tribute bands.

May gallery walk debuts Drawn to the District

LIve MUsIC

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Arts & Design District is beginning its season of warm weather events, starting with May’s debut of Drawn to the District on May 9. diversion Drawn to the District is a new idea where, “all types of artists are invited to create.” There will free arts supplies from ArtSplash Gallery for anyone who wants to join in the fun.

“With these lovely late spring evenings, I think the visitors will really enjoy being a part of the creative process,” said Stephanie Marshall, merchant liaison and Marshall event planner for the Arts District.

Drawn to the District will continue every weekend in May. In addition, the May gallery walk will welcome in spring with Jan Aldridge Clark, a board member at the USA International Harp Competition.

ArtSplash Gallery will also feature an exhibit from Anna Baseva Afsfar, an artist originally from Lithuania and Russia. She paints in both watercolor and oils and has studied with teachers from around the world.

“She is a popular artist at the gallery and has a strong following of students,” Marshall said. “This will be a particularly nice collection of her work this May.” And as usual with every second Saturday gallery walk, there will be a scavenger hunt with prizes. Participants can also pick up charms as a part of the monthly charm bracelet giveaway.

Alex Garrison and The band in Chicago. (Submitted photo)

Carmel grad lands recording gig

By Steven Aldrich • new@currentnoblesville.com

In 2008, Alex Garrison graduated from Carmel High School where he had spent his entire life growing up. After high school Alex studied at Indiana University, and soon music after moved to Chicago, where he has resided ever since.

While attending Indiana University, Alex met Steven Phillips, who later linked up with him in Chicago to start writing original material for a band they were forming. Soon after meeting in Chicago, they met platinum record producer Sean O’Keefe who had experience working with bands such as Fall Out Boy and The Plain White Tees. According to Garrison, “With him (O’Keefe) we recorded a four song EP that we used to recruit members to fill out the band. Around March of 2014 we had finalized the band with myself, Steven Phillips (guitar), Manny Miller (guitar), Mike Bronk (Bass), and Jack McKee (drums).”

“We spent the large part of the month of December recording our first album as a band,” Garrison said. The band recorded the

album in studios located in both Crystal Lake and Chicago. The Central Standard is working to have their first album released this summer, sometime during mid-June. At that time, physical copies of the album will be available via the band’s website. At the same time as the physical release, they also plan to release the album digitally on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon.

While the band has held all of their shows in the Chicago and Milwaukee area, they are looking to expand to the Indy area soon as well. According to Alex, “Some of our upcoming performances are opening for White Mystery in a Red Bull Sound Select event at the Cubby Bear in Chicago on April 23. We also will be playing are largest show to date when we headline the Double Door in Chicago on May 9.”

If you are interested in any of the band’s upcoming shows or just want to check out some of their songs, head to the band’s official website www.thecentralstandardband. com or contact them at thecentralstandardband@gmail.com.

The Foolery looks forward to summer of comic-book movies

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

When comic book movie “The Avengers” came out in 2012, it wasn’t just the biggest movie that summer. It ended up ranking as the third highest grossing film of all time with $1.5 billion worldwide, according to Forbes.

The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1 and studio analysts are already projecting the movie will make more than $200 million in its opening weekend. And those huge box office numbers should mean increased interest in comic books, which is good news for a small locally-owned shop called The Foolery, at 25 W. Main St., Carmel.

Bob Williams, owner of The Foolery, said he’s adjusted his inventory to cater to which titles are popular nowadays. And he said the Williams growing success of Marvel Comics movies has introduced new readers to the medium.

“As far as the comic books go, before the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie came out, nobody knew who was in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Marvel seems to be able to turn nothing into huge, huge successes,” he said. “So with “The Avengers,” they already have the name, so obviously with what they’re doing it’s just going to continue along the same path.”

“The Walking Dead” – a top rated TV show on AMC – is another popular title that’s been an introduction to comic books for new readers.

Williams said he’s carrying not only Avengers comics, but spinoffs, such as Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk.

“We try to focus in on the comic books that are tied to “The Avengers,” he said. “There’s some Ultron comics, which is the major villain in the new movie, so we’re also picking those up.

The pop vinyl figures that come out are extremely popular.

We’re going to carry those as well.”

That first weekend in May should be especially big for The Foolery because Free Comic Book Day is May 2. Williams said he expects to give away hundreds of specially printed free comics. It’s been estimated that Free Comic Book Day generated $3.4 million in free publicity in 2014 nationwide.

Williams also bumps up his business by selling used vinyl

records. When he has a down day in the shop, Williams will also log onto Ebay to sell comic books and records as another source of revenue.

But recently, Williams said his biggest seller, even bigger than superheroes, has been “Star Wars.” Marvel bought Lucas Entertainment and is now releasing new “Star Wars” comic books, which sold over a million direct sale copies for its first issue.

“Star Wars” is a huge title,” he said. “We can’t believe the numbers of people who are strictly buying “Star Wars,” but what’s nice is that they want it all. The “Star Wars” completest comes in and everyone just seems to accept the Marvel comics with open arms.”

Musical hit ‘Xanadu’ comes to Carmel

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

From May 1-17, Actor’s Theatre of Indiana will be performing the musical hit “Xanadu” at the Studio Theatre in the Center for the Performing Arts. ““Xanadu” is a musical fantasy about a young muse who comes to Venice Beach, California to inspire a young artist in his quest for his dream,” Director Billy Kimmel said. “It’s a musical comedy which Actor’s Theatre is known for doing, nominated for several Tony awards. It really has a classic message; it’s basically to believe in one self and to be inspired with your dreams no matter what the cost.”

Kimmel compares “Xanadu” to “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, referring to the musical as a cult classic that is very well known and has lots of followers. It is based off Greek mythology, has great music and involves roller skating.

“Xanadu” is based on the Universal Pictures film. The title sponsor for Carmel’s production is Ogletree Deakins, and the underwriter is The Voice Clinic of Indiana.

Preliminary auditions for the musical hit began last fall in Indianapolis, followed by a full audition in January. Casting decisions were made in February. Rehearsals started early April and will continue every day up until the show. Including set design, props and technical planning, the musical took mor than six months to plan.

Kimmel is recently known for directing “The Divine Sister,” a comedy, which was performed in New York. The last thing he performed in Indianapolis was “Forbidden Broadway.”

“Xanadu” will be performed Wednesdays thru Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. the weeks of performances. Tickets are available online at actorstheatreofindiana.org or through the Center for the Performing Arts box office at 843-3800.

“Come if you want a good laugh, because it’s a fantasy,” Kimmel said. “It’s a musical escape, so come if you want to have a nice evening and leave the theatre singing.”

Collaborative concert hosts first party of the summer

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Get ready to kick off the summer with a full orchestra! On May 22 at 7:30 p.m., the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera will host a collaborative concert called Crescendo that will take place at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

The collaboration will provide more than just opera, aiming to achieve a fun-filled, family event full of all kinds of activities.

“It is a concert to kick off the summer.

Memorial weekend is a big weekend in Indianapolis so it will be the first party of the summer down in White River Park,” ICO Executive Director Elaine Eckhart said. “It is being presented by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera, and it is a sneak peek for each of our seasons in 2015-16.”

The concert will provide a mix of opera, classical and pop music equipped with music, singing and a full orchestra. Eckhart describes it as “rousing.”

This is the first time the ICO and IO have done something like this in Indianapolis. Eckhart as well as IO’s General Director Kevin Patterson hope it will bring some publicity to their groups.

“We’re hoping to start this annual tradition here in Indy,” Eckhart said.

Patterson says the number one objective of the collaboration is for people to have fun, but he hopes that it will raise awareness of their organizations as well.

“For both organizations it’s about creating awareness,” Patterson said. “We are hoping to attract 4,000 – 7,000 people.”

Patterson says there will be something there for everyone, including musical variety, audience participation and even the opportu-

nity to conduct the orchestra that night.

Lawn seating is free and open to the public, but there is also the option of purchasing seat tickets. Those tickets can be accessed through indyopera.org or icomusic.org.

“I’m hoping that people who are not familiar with the ICO or the IO will learn about us and it will increase their curiosity about us,” Eckhart said. “Also, one of my objectives is people will come and have fun, and find the music invigorating or uplifting. It’s not rock, but a full orchestra is pretty impactful.”

Home sales up nearly 8 percent Commentary by Jim Litten

With 2,528 pended sales in March in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 7.7 percent compared real estate to this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, March 2015 pended home sales slipped 1.8 percent compared to March 2014, a decrease of 47 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. However, home sales prices are trending up. In Hamilton County, year-to-date sale prices rose to $269,917, an increase of 4.4 percent from the same time period last year.

• In Noblesville, home prices increased 7.6 percent to $211,438 in the first quarter compared to the first three months of last year.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, two were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 15 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 30 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 47 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and seven were priced at

$99,999 or less.

• The pace of home sales in Noblesville has improved. In March 2015, homes sold in 82 days on average, six days faster than March 2014.

• The number of homes sold in Noblesville was down slightly in March. Last month, 101 homes pended, a decrease of 17 homes compared to March 2014.

• Inventory in Noblesville has decreased.

In March 2015, the number of homes for sale fell to 329 – tightening 0.6 percent from March 2014.

As we move into the second quarter, we believe home sales will increase and prices will remain strong. Though March sales were a little sluggish, we still expect to see activity gradually pick up due, in part, to recent job growth and the start of the spring selling season.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Tis the season … for allergies Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

Allergy season that is. If you are anything like me, this time of year can really be frustrating. One of the main eye care areas that are affected is our eyes. Itchy, red, watery eyes are the telltale signs of ocular allergies but can sometimes be symptoms of other ocular infections. It’s important to have your eyes checked by your eye doctor if you are having these symptoms to rule out more serious infections. Also, keep in mind that watery eyes alone are not necessarily allergy eyes. And you can also have allergic conjunctivitis and not experience any other allergy symptoms like sneezing and rhinitis (hay fever).

It’s important to note that the oral medications you may be taking for your systemic symptoms do little to nothing for ocular allergies. Some of the prescription nasal sprays will help but the most effective treatment for ocular allergies is an eye drop. There are some over-the-counter drops that work well, but you want to steer clear of any of the “get the red out” drops. Also, stay away from gener-

ics in this case as well. Generics can have more preservatives in them because they are not regulated by the FDA. More preservatives mean less active ingredients and more irritation for the ocular tissues. The most effective treatments however are prescription eye drops.

Contact lens wearers may not realize they have ocular allergies but have symptoms such as decreased contact lens comfort and shorter wearing time. Also, contact lenses may have more deposits on them causing temporary decreased vision. Some contact lens wearers have to switch to a daily disposable lens during allergy season as well.

It is always best to have any ocular problem evaluated by your eye doctor to differentiate between allergic, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis as well as dry eye, since the treatments for each vary.

Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Dispatches New nurse practitioner – Jennifer Hansen, adult nurse practitioner, has joined St.Vincent Medical Group in Carmel. Hansen is accepting new patients in her office located at 13450 N. Meridian St., Suite 244. For more information, call the office at 5829355 or visit www.stvincent.org/ medicalgroup.

Odd uses for soda – Sugary soda is not good for your health.

But did you know it can be good for other things? You can use Coca-Cola in some unusual ways: 1. Pour some on an oil stain in the garage or driveway. Let it sit for an hour, then rinse clean with a hose.

2. Add one can of soda a week to your compost pile to help speed up the decay.

3. Soak grimy oven grates and baking sheets in a Coke bath overnight. The gunk will loosen up and scrub away easily.

Avoiding allergens – Now that allergy season is upon us, here are some tips for getting your yard work done without aggravating allergies: 1. Garden on damp days or just after a rainfall.

The pollen will have been washed off plants.

2. Pollen counts are lowest in the evening so do yard work then.

3. Be diligent about removing weeds – they are a prime contributor of pollen.

4. If possible, change out of your gardening clothes before you enter the house (in the garage, maybe) then put those clothes straight into the laundry.

SMALL BUSINESS 2015 HENDRICKS COUNTY Luxembourg Palace in Paris (Photo by Don Knebel)

Presented by

Luxembourg Palace: Bawdy No More Commentary by Don Knebel The Luxembourg Palace in Paris, the seat of the French Senate, is the epitome of decorum and elegance. But almost exactly travel 300 years ago, the palace was notorious for debauchery and excess by a member of the royal family.

In 1615, Queen Marie de MĂŠdicis, the mother and regent of 14-year-old King Louis XIII, built a grand new palace for herself, designed to resemble the Pitti Palace in Florence in which she had been raised. The western wing of the Luxembourg Palace, included lavishly decorated rooms for the Queen, complete with 24 commissioned paintings by Rubens. The identical eastern wing included rooms for young Louis whenever he visited from his home in the Louvre Palace. When Louis XIII died in 1643, he was succeeded by Louis XIV, who built his own palace at Versailles.

When Louis XIV died in 1715, his famously promiscuous granddaughter, Marie Louise Élisabeth d›OrlÊans, took up residence in the Luxembourg Palace. Although a recent widow at age 20, she immediately began hosting drunken orgies, glutinous feasts and clandestine lovers. She concealed the resulting pregnancies in her increasing girth, earning the so-

briquet “Princess Chubby.â€? When Voltaire suggested that one of the lovers was her father, Philippe II, Duke of OrlĂŠans and regent of King Louis XV, he was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he completed his play, Oedipus. Oblivious to the irony, Marie Louise, overweight and pregnant, attended the premiere with her father, to the great amusement of Parisians.

Hard living took its toll and she died, again pregnant at age 23, having already borne five children, none of whom survived.

The orgies behind it, the Luxembourg Palace became a royal museum in 1750, displaying art eventually housed in the Louvre Museum. The palace was confiscated from the royal family during the French Revolution. After serving as the residence of Napoleon, it was enlarged in 1835 to accommodate the semi-circular chambers of the French Senate.

Today, young lovers sit alongside the placid pond south of the palace, watching children sail their little boats. The bawdy days of Princess Chubby are long forgotten.

Creating a country farm kitchen with cosmetic upgrades

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: Located in the Village of West Clay subdivision in West Carmel, the kitchen aesthetics this spec home blueprint for in felt generic and did improvement not fit well with the homeowners’ personal style. The existing half wall separating the kitchen from the living room was not conducive for entertaining guests. “Our cabinets were in good shape, but they made the kitchen feel dark. In addition, the original location of the eat-in island backed up to our dining table causing guests to constantly bump into each other.”

CREATING BETTER FLOW: To create more room for dining and entertaining, the half wall in between the kitchen and living room was removed and became the new location for the eat-in island. This also allowed more natural light to stream into the kitchen. Shelves were added to the original location of the island to showcase the homeowners’ antique treasures.

COUNTRY FARM DESIGN: “Our ultimate goal was to create a country farm look while exploring options throughout the design phase.”

before & after

To help achieve this look, the sink base cabinet was modified to fit a new retro-fit apron front sink. Other classic materials including the new white subway tile backsplash, vintage style sink faucet, bronze cabinetry hardware, chunky decorative island legs and cabinet corbels help individually contribute to the final country look.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT: Once all cabinet modifications were made, the dark perimeter cabinets were painted a crisp white to help brighten up the kitchen. The island cabinetry was painted black to add contrast. LED undercabinet lighting, a new bronze island pendant and a table light installed on dimmable switches help create the perfect ambience.

RESULT: “We love how big the kitchen feels now even though the actual footprint didn’t change. The new location of the island works and flows so much better for entertaining our guests. Of the entire kitchen, we love our beautiful Cambria countertops the most.”
