APRIL 2024

Dear Carmel Resident, As I embark on my tenure as Mayor of this remarkable city, I am filled with excitement and a profound sense of responsibility. Our community is a unique and special place, brimming with diverse talents, perspectives, and boundless potential.

Carmel has so much to offer for people of all ages and backgrounds, and I hope you’ll take advantage of all of it. We are proud of our safe neighborhoods, excellent schools, beautiful parks and trails, and a thriving Main Street with unique shops and restaurants. Carmel also boasts a rich tapestry of culture, diverse cultural attractions, and a commitment to progress. With our convenient location in Central Indiana and strong local economy, this is an ideal place to live, work, and raise a family.

For those new residents of Carmel, getting involved is one of the best ways to quickly feel at home here. I encourage residents both old and new to explore our city’s many events and activities, from concerts at the Palladium and winter traditions like the Carmel Christkindlmarkt, to recreational sports leagues through Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and volunteer opportunities at our countless community organizations. Don’t be afraid to get out there, meet new people, and become part of what makes this community so special.

Our city staff and I are committed to providing outstanding services to provide and maintain a world-class quality of life for all residents. Please take advantage of the resources and amenities your tax dollars support.

We also value input from citizens, so never hesitate to reach out to me or other city officials with your questions, concerns, or ideas about how we can continue improving. I personally enjoy meeting with residents and business owners outside of City Hall and in our coffee shops and businesses, having conversations to understand more about what people love about the City of Carmel. I hope to run into you!

The City of Carmel is a city on the move, and we continue to grow and improve each day. I wish you many wonderful years here, surrounded by the friendly people and unbeatable way of life we have to offer. We’re so glad you’re here!

Warmly, Sue Finkam Mayor, City of Carmel

CARMEL EDUCATION FOUNDATION CELEBRATED THE 20TH ANNUAL TASTE OF CARMEL Story & Photography Provided

On Friday, March 8, 2024, Carmel Education Foundation (CEF) celebrated the 20th annual Taste of Carmel at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel. The theme of the event, Starry Nights, was the perfect backdrop to showcase over 40 local food and beverage establishments, a raffle featuring an Indy Facets necklace custom designed to commemorate the 2024 solar eclipse, two Pedego electric bikes, and a 2025 Taste of Carmel VIP Package.

Over 1,200 guests attended the event, representing CEF community partners, Carmel Clay Schools educators and parents, and many other friends of CEF. A special thank-you to our Premier Sponsors. For the third year, CoasterStone provided custom car and table coasters and State Bank hosted the First Taste VIP Party. 185 Promotions and Apparel sponsored the Last Taste After Party for the second year in a row. Other Premier partners were Fanning Howey, the City of Carmel and Ed Martin Automotive, all of whom are engaged with CEF in multiple ways.

Guiding guests throughout the evening were emcees Jeff Worrell of Good Day Carmel and Carmel City Council, and Jack Russell, President of OneZone. This dynamic duo represented the collaboration between Carmel Education Foundation and the community.

Jennifer Penix, executive director of CEF says “CEF is an integral part of our community.

We create partnerships with local businesses, organizations and community members to provide resources to students, staff and families of Carmel Clay Schools. While we

rely on the financial generosity of companies and individuals, we really focus on building relationships with people who care about our schools. Many volunteers serve on CEF committees or the board, and are integral in connecting our mission to others. Jack and Jeff were the perfect representation of the connection between CEF, the business community and our city as a whole.”

More than $80,000 were raised to support Carmel Education Foundation’s mission of supporting Carmel Clay students in academic achievement and lifelong learning. Funds will be used to support the ACHIEVE Initiative, which provides equitable and accessible programs focused on workforce preparation to district-wide grade levels, the Great Idea Grant Program, and the state’s largest public education foundation scholarship program.

Penix attributes the success of this event to a dedicated group of volunteers who worked tirelessly in the planning, along with the enthusiastic support of the CEF board of directors and assistance from Detail and Design.

Special guests of the evening were three students, and their teachers, who received a student-led grant from CEF in 2023. Their grant, titled Color our Community with Culture, funded a collection of bilingual books that have been used to engage multilingual learners in peer reading, benefiting all students at Forest Dale Elementary. Alison Wren, a Forest Dale teacher and one of the three

teacher sponsors for this grant, shared that “the students who received this grant have gained incredible confidence and leadership skills by applying for this grant and seeing how successful it is with their peers.”

When the students took center stage to share their story, the smiles on the faces of guests were a testament to what the foundation is all about - inspiring learning in our future leaders.

A special thank-you to all of our additional sponsors: The Current, Diamonds Direct, Carmel Magazine, Summers Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Church Church Hittle & Antrim, Dentistry on 116, Needler’s Fresh Market, Accolade Wealth Management, Skillman, Pyatt Builders, Good Day Carmel, Qtego Fundraising Services, OneZone, Party Time Rental, Ascension St. Vincent, Koorsen Fire & Security, Lovely Day Photo Booth Rentals, Dean Dorton, Hallmark Orthodontics, Clay Terrace, Flanner Buchanan, Metronet, Jolene Broad Photography, Oberer’s Flowers, PIP Printing, Town Planner, Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, Kroger Gardis and Regas, LLP, Centered By Mel, LLC, and Taist.

December 3, 1960, is a date retired Carmel Firefighter Jim Martin will never forget. As a young man on that fateful day, he was at work at his father’s garage on Carmel’s far west side when he and his brother looked up and saw black smoke in the sky above the town of Carmel. Through instinct, curiosity or both, they jumped in the car and went towards the fire.

They came upon a large grass fire approaching a barn and realized they had to help the volunteer firefighters on the scene.

DEVOTED TO DANCE

GREGORY HANCOCK DANCE THEATRE CELEBRATING 26TH SEASON Story & Photography Provided

Established in 1997, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre (GHDT) was founded by Gregory Hancock in Carmel. Originally from Kansas, Hancock moved to the area with family as a young man. GHDT was born from his love of the arts and theater. A personal love of musical performances transitioned to theater, and on to professional work in visual arts. The GHDT team is now celebrating its 26th season.

As a resident company at the Tarkington at The Center for Performing Arts, the company has been heavily involved in the development of the arts in the local community. Hancock says GHDT was able to participate in the planning process of The Center, and is grateful that the company has since been the resident professional dance company with the Tarkington.

Each season, GHDT performs three to four performances at The Center, with the final performance for the 2023-2024 season being “SAGAS AND SUPERSTITIONS” on June 7 and 8. The company now hosts an additional performance space, The Florence Theatre.

Named after Hancock’s mother, this theater is a smaller, more intimate setting within the academy of GHDT. GHDT recently wrapped up “The Wild West” three-week performance at The Florence Theatre. The smaller environment presents a unique experience for the audience as the performers are able to engage directly with the guests. Additional performances at The Florence will be hosted periodically through the coming months.

GHDT will present “FABLES AND FOLKLORE” at The Tarkington April 5 and 6. “FABLES AND FOLKLORE” will feature the world premiere of “GOLEM.” Inspired by Jewish folklore surrounding the golem of

Prague, this original work by Hancock tells the story of a mud creature crafted by a rabbi to defend the Jewish ghetto of Prague from persecution. GHDT brings elements of this story into our current world, where once again, the world needs golem-like protection from sometimes-invisible enemies. A timely tale, “GOLEM” utilizes a solar eclipse as a metaphor where light is overshadowed by darkness, but then reappears as a sign of hope and survival. Featuring both melancholy and joyful klezmer music, “GOLEM” utilizes layers of musical and theatrical nuance to tell a tale from the past, yet direct a voice to the present. The production is presented in partnership with the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis.

in the evenings throughout the week. Several youth dancers have graduated out of the program at The Academy and moved into a professional role within the GHDT company.

Many dancers within the company go on to competition. However, the main focus of GHDT is to build a solid foundation of technique and skill for those students looking to move into a professional performance career.

Also on the program is the long-awaited return of GHDT’s production of “PINOCCHIO,” a theatrical masterpiece created by Hancock and inspired by the classic Italian tale. Featuring a cast of colorful characters in a steampunk setting with theatrical choreography, this version weaves a cautionary tale of love and sacrifice into the visual storytelling. Joined by characters Geppetto, the Cricket and the Blue Fairy, PINOCCHIO, a puppet who magically becomes a real boy, sets out on his own to discover the world and experiences consequential adventure.

Upon the passing of Christel DeHaan, a local businesswoman and philanthropist, GHDT was awarded a legacy gift from the Christel DeHaan foundation to continue its work in the community. Because of this exceptional gift, Hancock says the organization is strengthened, enriched and inspired.

Humbled by the generous gift, the company seeks to continue the legacy of philanthropy into future generations.

The Academy of GHDT - the training facility for youth dancers - opened in 2010 as an affiliation of GHDT nonprofit organization.

A variety of dance genres are taught at The Academy of GHDT by the talented company dancers.

Youth classes are taught

Collaboration is a goal both within GHDT as well as with other performing arts organizations in the area. One such experience is that of a performance created and directed

by Hancock and performed with the Carmel Symphony, “La Casa Azul.”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

SPRINGHETTI DENTISTRY

Writer / Melissa Gibson Photographer / Michaela Hoover

Since 2020, Dr. Aaron Springhetti has been offering a specialized, full-service dental practice for patients looking for something unique.

It’s not every day you hear a dentist refer to his craft as “art,” but for Springhetti, his artistic side led to his passion for cosmetic dentistry.

“I’ve always wanted to take care of people and was interested in the health care field,” he said. “When I was young, I found I had a knack for art. I was always working on projects, always working with my hands, and in college I minored in art. I was introduced to dentistry as something that was both health care related, and getting to create things with your hands, and I knew it was the right path for me.”

He’s in the process of earning accreditation through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Since the 1990s only 500 dentists in the world have received accreditation and only one other in Indianapolis - a mentor of Springhetti.

“Cosmetic dentistry isn’t considered a specialty right now,” Springhetti said.

“I think it will be in the future, but it’s important that those of us who specialize 42 | April 2024 | TownePost.com

in cosmetic dentistry have received the necessary training and experience. It’s something I believe in, love and truly enjoy.

Whether working on a single tooth or a full smile rehabilitation, there are a lot of details that go into it.”

Over the past few years, advances in technology allow patients to see 3D renderings of what their finished smile will look like, but Springhetti said it’s the skill and experience that deliver those results.

“I love that we can offer a digital version for patients to see,” he said. “It makes treatment easier and results more predictable, but really, the patient always looks better than the digital version. It’s important to have someone dedicated to their craft, devoted to always learning more and really fine-tuning their skills.”

when someone hesitates before smiling,” Springhetti said. “We’ve had countless patients who have done smile rehabilitation and said, ‘I’ve never felt so good about myself.’ It’s life-changing for many.”

Knowing the joy he’s seen on patients’ faces, Springhetti volunteers once per month at the Heart & Soul free dental clinic in Westfield. He’s been on numerous dental mission trips, and once per year the office puts on Smiles for the Community Day, providing free dental services to underserved individuals at the office.

Ultimately, it’s the relationships he’s forming that matter most.

“You get to know your patient, hear their stories, and learn about their life and their family,” Springhetti said. “We’re spending a lot of time with them, so it’s much more Springhetti Dentistry offers everything than just a patient-provider relationship; from routine cleanings to orthodontics to our patients are part of our dental family. advanced cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth You look forward to seeing those patients rehabilitation. The goal behind all of their just for who they are, rather than focusing work is to create healthy teeth and smiles for on clinical or procedural aspects of the each patient. relationship.”

Some patients come to Springhetti with years of negative experiences and feelings of self-consciousness about their smile.

“You sometimes see someone cover their mouth when they smile, or you can tell
