Veterans’ group golf outing at Wood Wind

relay for life held

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Eric Scudder is aiming to help grow the Kentucky-Indiana Paralyzed Philanthropy Veterans of America presence in the Indianapolis area.

KIPVA will host a golf outing June 16 at Wood Wind Golf Club. The golf scramble event is called The Promise, A Day of Golf for Veterans.

Scudder is the owner of Scudder Creative, an advertising agency helping promote the event for KIPVA. Ricky Raley, Westfield, is serving as the chapter’s sports director.

“The veterans that we serve held up their promise to our country and made a great sacrifice for us. It is only fair for us to try to uphold our promise to make their quality of life as great as possible,” Raley said.

“That is our sole mission at the Paralyzed Veterans of America.”

Scudder said KIPVA wants to have an annual golf event to honor veterans.

“It’s our way of saying thank you and keeping our promise to look after them and show our gratitude for them looking after us,” he said. “We view the day of golf in Central Indiana as a great extension of the Memorial Day spirit.”

With the office in Floyd Knobs in Southern Indiana, there have been more KIPVA activities in the Louisville/ Lexington area.

“This is a chance to tap into the northern half of Indiana – central Indiana particularly – spread the word and build a resource base for the veterans,” Scudder said. “We think this will be a nice fit to draw in people and help share the message.”

Scudder said the goal is to have the golf outing at multiple courses in

the future.

More than 91 percent of all donations go to the veterans the chapter serves, KIPVA Executive Director Vickie Lincks said.

“In our two states, we try to offer health and wellness, hardship, adaptive sports and recreation to those with spinal cord injuries,” Lincks said.

The cost for one player is $125 and $500 for a foursome. The price includes green fees, a cart, a premium gift, breakfast and the awards luncheon.

Prizes will be awarded for the top three finishing teams.

Lincks said an adaptive golf clinic will be held June 15, and a group of paralyzed golfers will take part in the outing.

Player and team registration and breakfast is at 8:30 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 10 a.m. The awards banquet and silent auction is at 3 p.m. To register, visit woodwindgolf. com.

Pharmacy, 35, plans sale

Festival raises money for WYAP

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Local businesses have been the economic foundation in Westfield through the years, and the Westfield Pharmacy is local recognized as one of the longest lasting.

On June 1, the pharmacy will celebrate 35 years in business.

Plans are for the pharmacy to transition to the ownership of Erik and Lindsey Angelotti.

Erik is a pharmacist at the Westfield Pharmacy, and Lindsey is the head pharmacist at the Sheridan-Elliott Pharmacy, which the Weiss family also owns.

The pharmacy, at Union Street and Ind. 32, began in what is now the floral shop in 1981 but bought the building next door – then a grocery – in 1992.

Head Pharmacist and Owner Dave Weiss said the pharmacy specializes in personalized attention.

“Typically, pricing is the same no matter where you go, so why not go someplace where you are getting full attention by someone who is here all the time?” he asked. “I can think of patients we have that are actually fifth generation with us.”

The pharmacy not only has catered to its

The second Summer Smiles Festival will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. June 9 in the shared parking lot of Wittler Orevent thodontics, Growing Grins, First Impressions and Chiropractic Wellness Center, 534 E. Ind. 32.

The doctors from the participating businesses organized the event to raise money for the Westfield Youth Assistance Program.

Last year, the event raised more than $1,000, and the doctors have a goal of $1,200 to $1,500 this year.

“We are raising awareness and money for the Westfield Youth Assistance Program,” said Julie Downs, an administrator with Wittler Orthodontics. “This program benefits the youth in our area. Join us for dinner at one of the food trucks that will be on site. A percentage of their proceeds benefit WYAP also.”

In addition to food trucks, there will also be face painting, a balloon artist, an air-brush artist for temporary tattoos and a Slushee tent. Chick-fil-A will be present, with its cow mascot passing out coupons.

Local teachers, coaches and Mayor Andy Cook will be at the dunk tank.

“The Summer Smiles event is a fantastic

patients, but also has assisted with providing discounted medications to the Heart and Soul Clinic, a nonprofit clinic providing free medical care for the uninsured and underinsured.

The pharmacy will hold an open celebration with a community cookout from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 4. The pharmacy also will hold a drawing July 1, and people – patients or not – can register through the end of June. Prizes include a 35-year theme, such as $35 gift certificates.

“Our goal is for the business to continue and continue to provide the service under new ownership but with the same quality and service level,” Weiss said.

way for residents to have fun and to contribute to the success of the Westfield Youth Assistance Program,” Cook stated. “It promises to be a great time for people of all ages.”

GiGi’s Cupcakes will be present, and donation stations will be set up throughout the festival.

Raffle tickets for goodie baskets will be available for $1. Games and contests will be provided throughout the evening.

Downs said the event is open to the public, and kids of all ages are welcome.

Humane Society takes field trip to Navient

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County took 16 dogs on a field trip to Fishers May 18 for the organization’s second “Walk event the Employees” event behind Navient’s offices on USA Parkway.

Dozens of Navient employees spent their lunch hours walking dogs around the office complex’s scenic trails.

“It’s not about walking the dogs — it’s about the dogs walking the employees,” Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said. “It’s our human-walking program here where we wanted to get employees out away from their desks, encourage people to exercise, get some fresh air — and what better way to do that than to come and hang out with some shelter dogs? And secretly we hope they fall in love, and we hope some adoptions come as a result.”

Hundreds of Navient’s approximately 1,500 Fishers employees have made donations to the society, with money from a fundraiser through which employees purchase tickets to be able to wear blue jeans to work, benefitting the shelter’s survival fund.

“Our employees are very big on community connections,” Navient Senior Vice President Jon Kroehler said. “This is one of the organizations the employees are supporting financially, so we thought this would be a cool thing to also bring greater visibility and maybe even have some adoptions come out of it.”

“It’s really a good, fun win-win for everybody,” Stevens added. “Their employees have been really supportive of the shelter for the last, at least, three years. They get to choose the charities they want to support and they’ve chosen us. Every year, they sell tickets for people to wear jeans to work. It’s been about $10,000 or $11,000 each year for the past three years.”

Fassnacht scores perfect ACT

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Many high schoolers stress out over college readiness tests, such as the SAT and ACT, often retaking the test. school This was not a problem for Westfield High School junior Samantha Fassnacht, who scored a perfect 36 on her first round of ACT testing.

“I’m hoping my perfect score will help me in the college application process and help me get into my dream school, Stanford University,” the 17-year-old said. “As for preparing for the exam, I didn’t do much studying for it. I just looked at the structure of the test.”

Fassnacht is aiming for Stanford because of its computer science program, a field in which she is very interested. Fassnacht was recently recognized as an Indiana winner for the National Center for Women and Information Technology Aspirations in Computing Award, which recognizes women in technology. Winning the award provided her and WHS with plaques, $250 for Fassnacht and some small scholarships for schools around the state.

“I was very shocked. I was hoping I did well, but I never would have expected to do that well,” Fassnacht said. “I signed up for another computer class next year, and I’m still working

She took an advanced-placement computer class with teacher Karen Podell this year.

“The teachers at Westfield have really helped prepare me for college and have just been so amazing and supportive, and I couldn’t be where I am today without all of them,” she said.

History of Sundown Gardens Sundown Gardens was started at its Carmel location in 1949

by Earl and Dorothy Knapp. Todd Erb purchased the property from the Knapps in 1995 and, over the years, added Kirchner and Russ as co-owners. At some point, all three had worked as employees before co-owning the business.

Overcoming the ‘unthinkable’

Sundown Gardens expands in Westfield after family tragedy

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The past three years haven’t been easy for Todd Erb, coowner of Sundown Gardens.

After the murder of his wife and daughCOVER STORY ter by former employee Christian Haley in 2013 and St.Vincent Health’s purchase of Sundown Gardens’ leased property in Carmel, things are now looking up for Erb. The landscaping portion of the business, all of which also is co-owned by Brian Kirchner and Joe Russ, at 505 W. 186th St. in Westfield, opened earlier this year.

“I think I knew and realized right away (that continuing the business) was going to be the best use of my time,” Erb said.

“I would use the term ‘good preoccupation,’ but then again, I wanted to fulfill the commitment that I had to my partners and to my business.”

That’s when I saw my wife lying on the basement floor in a pool of blood. Then I saw my daughter in the same position.”

After an investigation by the Westfield Police Dept., a CrimeStoppers tip was the last piece that led to Haley’s Dec. 26, 2013 arrest.

Now, Erb brings Lucy, the family’s 11-year-old Cockapoo, to work each day because he doesn’t want her to be home alone.

Mayor Andy Cook highlighted Erb’s perseverance at a ribboncutting ceremony hosted May 7 in honor of the new garden center’s opening.

“This is so much more than just a ribbon cutting,” Cook said.

“Todd, his family and his business family suffered a tragedy that most of us couldn’t even think about. They all could’ve quit. That’s not how Todd led them. Watching Todd these last few months has been an absolute inspiration to all of us on how to overcome the unthinkable.”

The 2,900-square-foot garden center was constructed in seven weeks and two days. The three co-owners have taken strides to become active in the community, including supporting the Grand Park ball fields and partnering with the Heart and Soul Clinic to assist with the building’s exterior landscape.

They are also members of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.

“A lot of our existing clientele and new clientele have kids that play at Grand Park,” Russ said. “The one thing we definitely don’t want to lose sight of is taking care of our existing clientele.”

Kirchner said one couple from Illinois even bought plants while they were visiting Grand Park.

“Our goal is to expand our retail,” Kirchner said. “We have a vision for a greenhouse that’s going off the rear of the garden center. My goal is to have it ready for spring of 2017.”

Erb said he and the other two business owners extend thanks to the community for “their support and dedication to the company.”

Haley was convicted for the Dec. 20, 2013, murder of Erb’s wife, Marylyn Erb, 52, and daughter, Kelley Erb, 23. He was also convicted for burglary, theft and robbery. He is being held at the Pendleton Penitentiary for life without parole after pleading guilty.

“I arrived home after work late one afternoon,” Erb recalled. “I looked around the house to see if my wife and daughter were around, and as I was searching the house, nobody responded. That was when my dog, Lucy, went to the basement, and she doesn’t like being there, and that was peculiar. She went over to a particular doorway, and she was stooping low looking at the doorway.

Could Clinton lose in Cali?

With the Democratic Party seemingly headed for the kind of upheaval the Republican Party finds itself in these days, we find it strange that Dem frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) has refused to debate challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) next month in California. Hold the debate, anyway, and leave her spot open? Just a thought. In our opinion, that would have been her chance to push forward her agenda in a way that might have united the core of the party. Clinton probably will capture the 475 delegates in the June 7 California primary, and that, it seems, will be that. However, any slipup by the candidate or her campaign could propel Sanders even more than ever imagined, and if he were to win the Golden State, that would be an upset of epic proportions.

••• The Republicans’ “presumptive” nominee, Donald Trump (N.Y.), has been fairly quiet of late. Media sources inside and near the Beltway have him meeting with campaign experts – even those of bygone eras – in a girding for the general election race against, we believe, Clinton. That being the case, it should prove to be a battleground, the likes of which we never again may see. When people question Trump’s fitness for the presidency – and this is no endorsement, trust us – we are compelled to point to his multiple successes around the globe and the fact that he is adept at hiring high-quality men and women to get the jobs done. We have to assume it would be the same with his cabinet.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Virtues and vices Commentary by Terry Anker We don’t talk much about virtues these days. And, the concept of vice has been turned into little more than the moniker for the squad of government enforcers assigned to keep humanity out of the gutter.

But, for centuries, we all would have talked, a lot, about virtue and even some about vice.

As soon as we humans could spend a bit of our time doing more than trying to stay alive, we have mused on those conditions of being that could help us to become the best that we might be. Plato, Shakespeare, Confucius, Mohamed and Jesus Christ were all among the voices guiding and challenging our thinking – helping us to frame those characteristics most likely to put us on the path to an ethical and soul-fulfilling life.

Prudence, justice, temperance and courage framed the classical understanding of virtue.

Vice, likewise morphing across time and continent, has more-or-less been settled

as defined as something degrading society or the social order. Closer to home, it is accepted as something degrading to our own health and wellbeing.

With shifting morays, our understanding of virtue and vice has likewise been reconsidered. Yet, in recent years, we seem to shun the concepts. Perhaps, our desire to be perceived as open-minded has led us to avoid the tags at all cost. Too often, we refuse to pursue virtue for fear that it might alienate others who fail to see the value in the characteristics. And, we eschew labeling our actions as vices thinking having standards somehow makes us close minded. Shouldn’t we embrace the character traits that matter and understand why? And, shouldn’t we order our lives correspondingly?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Givers have to set limits because takers rarely do.

– Henry Ford

Prison is tough, for inmates at least. My husband and I are rather enjoying our term as wardens. We’ve grounded humor our oldest, and he is seriously struggling to adjust to life behind bars. Attica!

Make no mistake, Inmate 7 is guilty. We warned him about keeping up his grades, and thanks to the internet, we can view them whenever we want. I couldn’t sleep the other night, so I did a cursory background check. Turns out our juvie hasn’t been keeping us in the loop. The following morning, we read the accused his heavily-amended Miranda rights, and then promptly threw him in the can. He received no phone call.

That first day of incarceration wasn’t too bad; he got work release for school and to drive his baby sister to dance. But then the weekend arrived, and his confinement took on new meaning. The complaining, whining and general depression soon morphed into desperate requests for shock probation.

Denied. Twice. He did the crime. He’s doing the time.

Then it got really interesting. Apparently word of his confinement spread quickly among his peeps, and we soon saw various attempts to break him out. While he was mowing the back lawn, for example, two would-be accomplices tried to jump our storm-swollen creek and pass him food (and shivs?).

He’s not in solitary, mind you. We let him keep his phone, which basically keeps him in touch with his entire posse. But the arguement of abuse is rampant. Physical labor, lack of junk food and restrictions on electronics make him think he’s being water-boarded. Sorry, Inmate 7. You’ll get three hots and a cot, and you’ll like it. Or not.

We don’t really care. In fact, it’s almost entertaining to watch him grapple with the knowledge that he did this to himself. Hopefully, he’ll learn from his experience and make smarter choices next time. If not, we have no problem Shawshank-ing his butt again. Some kids just take longer to figure out how to make parole, and he might be one of them.

Peace out.

Georgia on my mind Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We recently went on a vacation with our friends, John and Jane. John has a PhD in statistics, so he predicted there was only a 50/50 probability we’d all still like each humor other afterwards.

Some things make trips with other people stressful: too much alcohol, talking politics and driving recklessly. My wife said if I’d stop doing this stuff, the Murphys might travel with us again.

I’m paranoid about losing my keys, cell phone, passport and tickets. I continually pat my back and front pockets to be sure I have everything. The TSA agent let me walk right through security because he said no one on his staff could do a better job of patting me down than I had.

There were dogs sniffing suitcases at the airport. Mary Ellen was so convinced it was for explosives and not drugs that she made me a sizeable wager. Then, she asked an officer.

“The dogs are searching for explosives,” he said, “not drugs.”

“Oh, that’s great to hear,” said Mary Ellen … which led to a thorough search of her carryon bag.

In Savannah, I was pulled over by a patrol-

man for rolling through a stop sign. Savannah is laid back, and coming to an abrupt halt seemed uncharacteristic of the local pace of life. My passengers thought it was funny I was pulled over going 3 mph.

My wife, who normally takes law enforcement very seriously, was snapping photos of me talking to the officer, explaining to him she had shots of me being pulled over in 13 states.

I got a warning stating, “there were mitigating circumstances for the infraction,” which either meant I was a sightseeing and didn’t notice the sign, or he was cutting me slack for driving around with three goofy passengers distracting me.

Could we travel well with the Murphys again? John applied his statistical acumen to this question, factoring in all related variables.

“I can’t give you the specific odds,” said Dr. Murphy, “but chances are we’ll all have a better time if I do the driving.”

Hampton Inn breaks ground news@currentinwestfield.com On May 18, city officials and Holladay Properties employees attended a groundbreaking at the southwest cordevelopment ner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32, just off of Westfield Park Road for Hampton Inn. The $12.2 million, four-story hotel is planned to open next spring with 93 guest rooms.

Other features include an outdoor patio with a fire pit and an indoor swimming pool.

“We are honored to partner with Hilton Worldwide in bringing the Hampton Inn franchise to Westfield”, said Chris Wilkes, partner and senior vice president with Holladay Properties. “With Westfield’s ever-expanding corporate

base, along with the hotel’s location along the new U.S. 31, we feel that this hotel is well positioned to service the key business travel segment. Additionally, this Hampton Inn will benefit strongly from the significant travel and tourism activity generated by Grand Park.”

Holladay Construction Group will serve as the general contractor during construction.

“The new U.S. 31 project, combined with the success of Grand Park, has transformed Westfield’s economic structure,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “Last year, there were nearly 62,000 hotel-room nights booked in central Indiana because of Grand Park. Developments like this Hampton Inn will be able to keep some of those visitor dollars in Westfield.”

KBSO Consulting growing fast

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com KBSO Consulting, an engineering consulting firm, might have started off business modestly, but the company is quickly gathering momentum.

Seun Odukomaiya and Kelley Bieghler, both mechanical engineers, had worked at the same company for several years before deciding to launch their own business, KBSO (their initials).

“We started in a tiny temporary office space with no windows,” Odukomaiya said. “It was just me and Kelley and couple of laptops and cellphones. We’ve been steadily growing since then. We’ve been blown away by the reception we’ve received by clients that have sought us out and wanted to work with us.”

KBSO has added four full-time and two part-time employees and recently moved into a Carmel office at 1344 S. Range Line Rd., Suite 202. Odukomaiya, 31, lives in Carmel and Bieghler, 50, in Westfield.

“Our major clients are architects,” Odukomaiya said. “We consult for outside architectural firms to provide them with the designs for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for various building types. Our target building type is everything that falls under that health-

Divorce – What to Expect: The Benefit of Reaching an Agreement on Custody There are two aspects to child custody. The first is legal. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate when the parties are able to communicate about these issues and have reasonable discussions and disagreements that can be worked out. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody is an excellent first step in custody agreements, both acknowledging the roles of each parent and investing both in the decisions presumed to have the highest level of impact of the children. The fact that the parties will not always agree, besides being an obvious component of divorce to being with, is not a reason to discard the possibility of agreeing to joint legal custody. The mere fact that the parties do not see eye-to-eye all the time will not necessarily guarantee that a Court would not order joint legal custody if the best interests of the children are served by that status. With an agreement, you have the ability to lay the framework out for successful co-parenting, beginning with this step. If the parties are at odds over even minor decisions and are at such a level of conflict that joint legal custody would be impractical at best and harmful to the children at worst, then either by agreement or order of the Court one parent would be vested with the final say in making any of these “major decisions.”

The second aspect of custody is physical custody, which is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to the home location of the children. One party or the other having physical custody does not presume any level of parenting time for the other parent. In fact, designating one parent as the primary physical custodian does not preclude the other parent from having parenting time with the children up to fifty percent of the time.. Along those lines, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases as the children age, provides for a division of holidays, and time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, though, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time

to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines.

People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor.

However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge will receive limited information in a limited time frame, so choosing whether to have the outcome determined in this matter instead of an agreement requires serious consideration. This is not to say that such conflicts which arise should never be litigated. However, once you proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands and the Court is free to accept your position, the position of the other parent, or a position unrelated to either based upon the evidence heard and the Court’s believe about what is in the best interests of the children.

If parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement.

These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved.

There are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules and flexibility for holidays. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters, it is a win-win for all involved.

With travelers in areas affected by the Zika virus not permitted to donate blood for 28 days after their return donations to the U.S., the Indiana Blood Center is seeing an increase in travel deferrals that had left it approximately 500 units short in May. “We also believe donors who have traveled are selfdeferring, not even showing up to donate, because the deferral is so broad,” said Andrea Fagan, marketing director for the Indiana Blood Center. “Unlike malaria or Fagan some other travel deferrals that are specific to regions of a country, Zika is a blanket deferral, all of Mexico, regardless of where you travel. Zika is a daytime-biting mosquito, as well. This means that if you were on a cruise ship passing through an area of active transmission, you are deferred. It’s a very broad deferral.”

The Zika deferral began Feb. 16. Fagan said

being in the midst of long holiday weekend, it further weakens the supply as donors are doing other things.

To help with that, the organization gave away free Indy 500 Carb Day tickets to encourage donations.

“The need for blood is fairly constant, 550 donors are needed each day, and we have minimums and maximums for each type that we keep on our shelves in addition to that which we send to hospitals,” Fagan said.

Moli Hall juggles duties in ‘Scaler’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As if juggling her roles as actor and producer wasn’t tough enough, Moli Hall has been working alongside her drinks father and fellow producer, Dan T. Hall, on a new movie.

“Being both an actor and a producer on a project is extremely demanding,” Moli said.

“As a producer, I have to nitpick all the details of the film, including the acting, which proves to be difficult as I have to try to be impartial with myself, the director/writer, my dad and my co-stars, who have become great friends of mine. Learning to be unbiased with my own acting has been extremely beneficial in my growth as an actor. I’ve learned so much about acting due to being a producer and honestly critiquing my performance.”

Moli, a 22-year-old former Carmel resident who is now pursing acting/modeling in Atlanta, is one of the stars of “Scaler, Dark Spirit.”

The premiere will be held at 7:30 p.m. June

18 in the IMAX Theatre at the Indiana State Museum.

“My dad and I are extremely close, but also, we are both extremely stubborn,” Moli said.

“Occasionally, we would adamantly disagree on a line or scene, and I’ve had to learn how to let it go and trust his vision, as ‘Scaler’

really is his brainchild.”

Dan, who said he received great creative input from Moli and other actors, said it was loosely based on a paranormal event he was helping film.

“At the end, I included some footage from the actual event that kind of spawned all this,” Dan said.

Dan, who lives in Broad Ripple, had been filming a documentary on paranormal investigation in a St. Joseph’s, Mo., house a few years ago.

A non-practicing Catholic priest had purchased the house.

“He had started to remodel and something (paranormal) was released,” Dan said. “He thought he could control it, and I believe it was controlling him.”

The cast of “Scaler” also includes Fishers resident Dija Henry and her daughter Selah.

“It was an amazing experience as always when working with Dan and the rest of the cast,” Dija said.

Carmel comedian hosts Enchantment Ball

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Mike Gardner and his daughter, Helena, 5. (Submitted photo)

Mike Gardner has a special bond with his 5-year-old daughter, Helena.

The Carmel resident, a family stand-up comedian, has shared that connection while they travel around the nation to comedy clubs. They’ve enjoyed two elegant daddydaughter dances in Kokomo, where Gardner grew up.

Gardner said he believed it was time to have an event like that in Indianapolis, so he started planning the Enchantment Ball, which will debut at the Conrad in Indianapolis from 5:30 to 9 p.m. June 4. The evening includes dinner, dancing and carriage rides.

Gardner said the target ages are 3-13, but it’s up to the discretion of the parent.

“I really want to make it a night to remember for the girls,” Gardner said.

Gardner said the numbers might be low this year, but he sees it growing each year.

“It’s an awesome night for dads to bond with their daughters,” Gardner said. “A lot of my mail comes from single mothers

who say ‘I wish my daughter’s dad would do this.’ Women are naturally awesome parents, it’s kind of in their DNA. Guys have to try harder.”

The key for him is to be interested in whatever his daughter is, Gardner said.

“Right now, it’s dressing up like a princess and being a girly-girl,” Gardner said.

Gardner, 32, travels to comedy clubs and corporate events nationally.

“I’m getting big enough to the point where I can cherry-pick my gigs and travel less,” Gardner said. “She’s traveled with me on the road for quite awhile. Now it’s traveling for Friday and Saturday shows.

When I first started off, it was traveling two weeks at a time.”

Gardner shares custody with Helena’s mother, who also lives in Carmel. Helena will enter kindergarten at Carmel Elementary School in August so they will have to scale back their trips.

The cost of the Enchantment Ball is $169 per couple. For more, call 317-647-0909.

During the event, the girls will fill backpacks for less-fortunate kids.

Postcard to play in Fishers

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com After two years as a band and countless rock sessions before that, local band Postcard has found its rhythm. music “We have a good system,” said Tyler Rodino, guitarist and vocalist for the band. “Akshay (Athawale) and I come up with the concept.”

Rodino and Athawale met at Fishers High School seven years ago as freshmen. Already involved in band, Athawale joined choir during his senior year where he and Rodino discovered they could sing well together. This led to garage rock sessions and the realization that they wanted to be a real band.

Athawale and Rodino, along with friends Gabe Boris, Eric Garcia and Ian Clarke, created the band Postcard during the summer of 2014.

Postcard recorded its first song, “I Found Out,” two years ago and has since produced two albums.

Postcard will showcase its talent when it opens for The Wild Feathers at 7:30 p.m. July 9 at the Fishers City Municipal Center. There is no cost to attend. The Fishers Summer Concert Series will be the band’s biggest concert to date with an expected attendance of 2,000

people.

Postcard’s concerts started out much smaller, with friends and family as the main audience.

“Our friends have been so good to us,” Rodino said. “They’ve come to so many shows, back to when we were playing to eight people in the middle of nowhere.”

Venues have been reaching out, which allows for more exposure within the community.

“I want to be in a place where music isn’t my side job; it’s my main job,” Athawale, pianist and vocalist, said.

Postcard has new music coming out this summer, as well as a music video. For more, visit postcardtheband.com.

Brew Bracket set for June 11

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ryan Coyle figures everyone enjoys a little tournament-style competition. So, why not bring that competition to the drinks craft beer world?

Coyle and Mike Sale, both Carmel residents, started Brew Bracket in 2010.

“The craft beer industry (is) booming and has been for the past five or six years,” Coyle said. “It’s almost tripled in size since we started. No one else in the county holds events like this where it is a blind, side-byside comparison where patrons can find their new beers. We bring eight brewers head-tohead in tournament-style competition. It’s all the same category.”

Brew Bracket will host an event featuring experimental wheat brews from 2 to 5 p.m. June 11 at Tomlinson Tap Room at the Indianapolis City Market. Tickets are $35. A portion of the proceeds from Brew Bracket events are always donated to an Indianapolisarea charity. This event will benefit 100 Voices of Hope, a cancer research facility through IU Simon Cancer Center. Coyle said they have donated more than $10,000 to area charities.

“The brewers absolutely love our events because it gives them the chance to try new things and find a beer that could be one of the staple beers in their system,” Coyle said.

From left, Ryan Coyle and Mike Sale of Brew Bracket. The duo launched Brew Bracket in 2010.

Carmel’s Flix Brewhouse head brewer Chris Knott was previously an assistant and head brewer for the Ram Restaurant & Brewery in downtown Indianapolis, which has won three of the Brew Bracket contests. Coyle said it would be interesting to see if Knott can continue his winning ways at Flix.

Coyle said the event was previously held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

In addition, Coyle and Sale starting selling a Brew Bracket hosting kit, which costs $35, in 2015.

“People can do this at home or at the office,” Coyle said. “We’ve sold them pretty much all over the globe.”

The kits can be purchased at brewbracket. com, along with tickets for the June 11 event.

Sorrell will discuss designs such as this in his IDC workshop titled “Inspired Exteriors: Trends in Outdoor Living & Space Design.” The workshop will be at 6 p.m. June 9. (Submitted photos)

Enjoy the IDC experience Commentary by Randy Sorrell First timers are a little shocked, uncertain of what to expect and a bit overwhelmed.

Delightfully so! The products are fresh. The finishes are smooth, and the building is a testament to well-thought design. Home to 15 showrooms and 20 design firms, the Indiana Design Center is a relevant destination for anyone considering a home remodel or new construction project. The building is open to the public, and the staff will be happy to direct your journey.

Our experience was formalized Feb. 15, when we moved into an IDC studio space.

Suite 219 is industrial, edgy, inviting and thriving. Our strategic move has exceeded our expectations, and I am thrilled to witness giddy first-timers and seasoned returnees explore the building’s offerings.

Collaborations A few recent projects prompted us to bring in Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery for interior lighting, faucets and bathroom vanities. A patio update saw us working with Caryn at Drapery Street for porch blinds, Brian at Godby Hearth & Home for a fire feature consult and Tay with The Premier Group for audio. Genius designer Adam Gibson has included our firm in a kitchen remodel. And of

Cost vs. value in your remodel

IRRIGATION

Commentary by David Decker One of the most common topics our clients ask us about when it comes to remodeling budget is the budget. People want to know what they can expect to spend on a remodel and where that money is going. Understanding how much a project will cost will help determine the scope of the project and if financing is needed.

When planning your remodel, it is important to consider how long you intend to stay in your home. If you think you’ll be selling within the next five years, you’ll want to look at any improvements you make as an investment.

Ruins of Castle of Dürnstein, Austria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Dürnstein and King Richard Commentary by Don Knebel

REMODELERS

KITCHENS

Dürnstein is a charming village along the Danube River in northeast Austria, 50 miles upstream from Vienna. Its main travel claim to fame is an ancient castle that once held as prisoner English King Richard I, better known as “Richard the Lionheart.”

In 1188 A.D., King Richard joined Philip II, the King of France; Leopold V, the Duke of Austria; and other Christian rulers in the Third Crusade, seeking to take back the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Crusaders were successful in capturing significant territory, but were unable to retake Jerusalem, their primary objective. On his way back to England in 1192, Richard was captured by representatives of Leopold, who had been offended when Richard tore down the Austrian flag after a successful battle. Leopold held King Richard captive in a castle on the hill overlooking Dürnstein.

He was eventually freed when England paid Leopold a ransom of about 100,000 pounds of silver, twice England’s annual income at the

time. The money helped finance the construction of Wiener Neustadt (“New Vienna”) Today, Dürnstein, with fewer than 1,000 residents, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley, famous for the quality of its wines and apricots. A sign on a street leading into town encourages people to climb the hill to the ruins of Dürnstein’s castle, where they can get a great view of the valley and learn the story behind the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart. The sign notes that Leopold, called “the Virtuous,” was not able to spend the ransom money very long because, soon after being excommunicated by the Pope for kidnapping a fellow Crusader, he “fell from a horse and died unexpectedly.” In fact, Leopold died from gangrene after ordering one of his servants to hack off his broken foot with an axe.
