During its first city council meeting of 2016, the newly elected body swiftly voted to unani-

mously pass many ordinances. Some disagreements were voiced and some proposals were

tabled, but long gone were the split 4-3 votes and heated rhetoric of the previous council’s four years.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said this is a good thing and that not everyone will agree on everything, but he hopes there will be a “spirit of coop-eration” during this next term.

City Council President Ron Carter described it as “a relief” and a “breath of fresh air” compared to the pre-vious term.

Of the seven candidates that Brainard en-dorsed for council, six won their elections. Carol Schleif, who won her reelection but wasn’t endorsed by Brainard, voted with the rest of the group on many unanimous votes, such as turn-ing Carmel into a second-class city and giving

the mayor the power to remove the stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Road.

But some Carmel residents who have strong-ly disagreed with Brainard in the past now won-der if they have a voice in the current makeup of the council.

“When it comes to having a voice, we saw at the recent council meeting, everything was unanimous and that begs the question, why even have a council? Just come in at October and sign off on what the mayor wants,” said Bob Wallace, who regularly speaks at council meetings.

Rick Sharp, former president of the council who ran against Brainard for mayor and lost, said it’s up to the public to step up and participate in the “blue card” session of every city council meeting when the public is allowed to speak.

“The blue card portion pretty much is their only voice,” he said.

Kiel Kinnaman, a Carmel resident and former owner of Carmel Chatter, an online forum for community debate, said he’s taken a step back

from local politics because he admits it can be discouraging at times. He has publicly disagreed with Brainard on several issues, including Car-mel’s debt, but he said he hopes the new coun-cilors will be independent thinkers and not just pass anything that the mayor wants.

“It’s kind of, ‘wait and see’ right now for me,” he said.

Some, like Wallace, admit they feel slightly disengaged because they think most of Brain-ard’s proposals will pass with ease, regard-less of what he says during the public portion section.

“I’m debating with myself about whether to stay engaged,” he said. “The civic-minded part of me tells me to stay engaged. The realist part of me asks why I would keep bumping my head against the wall?”

Councilor Sue Finkam said she encourages anyone with an opinion to call or e-mail any of the councilors, including herself. She said transparency is important and even those who disagree will be heard. She said the public will find that the council won’t agree on some mat-ters and the council won’t immediately pass everything the mayor supports.

Opponents question if they will be heard

Board holds off on signing bonus for bus driversBy Ann Marie Shambaugh

[email protected]

A plan to offer a $2,500 signing bonus to new bus drivers is on hold after several members of the Carmel Clay Schools Board of Trustees

voiced various con-cerns about the proposal.

Some said the dollar amount was too high or the three month payout was too soon, while others questioned if it would cause tension with the district’s existing bus drivers or lure others away from nearby school districts.

Bob Dyer, vice president of the Carmel Clay Schools Bus Drivers Association, expressed simi-lar concerns during the public comment portion of the meeting.

“Paying it out in three months, we’d be like the Quicken Loans. It’s kind of silly, paying it out that fast,” Dyer said. “If a bonus is necessary,

$500 is a number we think is somewhat more appropriate in this type of situation.”

Associate Supt. for Business Affairs Roger McMichael proposed delaying the bonus payment until September to encourage bus drivers to commit to a new school year. He also suggested a plan to give $2,500 only to experienced drivers and $1,000 to those who would need training, which takes three to four weeks and costs $1,200 to $1,500 per driver. He also recommended capping the total bonus payout at $35,000.

Trustees made motions that ranged from set-ting the bonus at $1,500 to $2,500 and adding a $500 referral bonus, but in the end they decided more research was needed.

No one disputes that the district is short on drivers. McMichael said on Jan. 21 nearly 300 students were late for school because a driver wasn’t available to pick them up. At times four

of the district’s five mechanics have picked up bus routes, as well as additional of-fice staff members, but it still wasn’t enough, and it’s not sustainable, he said.

Three new drivers are in training, but the district would ideally like to hire about a dozen more, officials said.

Ron Chew, president of the Indiana State School Bus Drivers Association,

said many districts are facing this issue. He said he believes “any type of financial incentive would help to stir interest,” but that the district can’t hire just anyone.

“It takes a ‘special person’ to transport school children, and not everyone has the ability to get behind the wheel of a school bus and deal with students on a daily basis and also deal with the traffic issues that might arise,” he stated.

The school board is expected to revisit the issue at its next meeting, scheduled for Feb. 8.

Appeals court ruling leads to class action lawsuit


After the Indiana State Court of Appeals overturned a traffic ordinance in Carmel, an

attorney is now filing a class action lawsuit for anyone who received a ticket under Carmel’s

provisions.The issue isn’t about what the

speed limit should be, but rather who should get the money from the tick-ets. The State of Indiana has a law against driving faster than 20 miles per hour in construction zones, and the City of Carmel referenced that law in a local ordinance so Carmel could collect the money themselves and receive a bigger portion of the revenue. After the ruling, Carmel police officers have still been writing tickets, but under the state code instead.

An Indianapolis attorney filed a class-action lawsuit Dec. 30 against the ordinance in feder-al court but the court hasn’t decided whether to grant class action status.

Attorney Edward G. Bielski said he has two plaintiffs officially named as a part of the suit so far, but 20 or 30 people have called him recently after the issue received media cover-age to join in on the lawsuit.

“As you can imagine, my phone is ringing off the hook,” he said.

He said the amounts can range from a few hundred dollars in costs, but he said there are other costs he’ll explore such as personal

damages caused by points on one’s driver’s license and other inconveniences. He said he understands that some of the people might have been speeding, but he believes they were charged under an ordinance that has no legal standing.

“They have never been charged with a valid crime,” he said. “Carmel has been hijacking the code and calling every-thing an ordinance. Carmel took the shortcut.”

Bielski said he believes drivers can’t be responsible for breaking a law that wasn’t properly written or was thrown out by the Court of Ap-peals. He feels that Carmel has done

whatever it wants when it comes to traffic violations.

He believes Carmel will try to amend tickets so they can claim it is a valid charge under state law instead of Carmel’s ordinance, but Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the city is reviewing the Court of Appeals ruling, and he believes the city can win. In the future, Carmel could rewrite its ordinances so it doesn’t run into this conflict with state law but still col-lect its own traffic revenue. Brainard noted the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns has been closely following this issue, and he believes many other cities back Carmel in their effort to write their own laws separate from the state. The mayor emphasized motor-ists can still get tickets in Carmel despite the court’s ruling.

Mayor speaks in D.C.By Adam Aasen • [email protected]

During the end of January, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard traveled to meet with

mayors from across the United States

at a bipartisan conference hosted by President Barack Obama and the White House.

After dealing with a long list of city council business Jan. 18, Brainard traveled to Washington, D.C., for three days as a part of the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meet-ing. More than 250 U.S. mayors met at the White House to report on the economic progress that each city has made since Obama took office.

While there, he participated alongside other mayors at the conference and pre-sented the annual update and report from the Energy Independence and Climate Protection Task Force, of which he is a member.

Other Indiana mayors in attendance included: John Hamilton of Bloomington, Tom Henry of Fort Wayne, Karen Freeman-Wilson of Gary, Joe Hogsett of Indianapo-

lis, Jeff Gahan of New Albany and Pete Buttigieg of South Bend.

Brainard, speaking to Current in Carmel over the phone from the conference, said

conferences like these are use-ful to not only learn about new practices to build innovative cit-ies, but also to make connections that can benefit Carmel down the road. Brainard said he has a list of public infrastructure projects he’s addressing with more than $200 million in council-approved

bonds. He’s hoping state and federal fund-ing will be available for many of these transportation projects.

After meeting in D.C., Brainard is travel-ing to Salt Lake City at the request of the White House to participate in the 2016 Salt Lake County Innovation Summit. While there, he is presenting a speech titled, “Leading a 21st Century Government.”

The spring meeting of the 84th Annual Conference of Mayors will be held June 24 to 27 in Indianapolis. Brainard plans on attending, and he said he’s hoping to take advantage of the close proximity to hold an event in Carmel at that same time as well.

CITY News

Board members,commissioners appointed


The Carmel City Council made several appoint-ments to boards and commissions at its Jan. 18

meeting.There was an attempt to

appoint City Councilor Jeff Worrell to the Carmel Redevelopment Commission — a role in which he previously served before be-ing elected — but city code at that time prohibited any member of the council from serving on the CRC. Previously, the council voted to remove that rule, but it had not been signed by councilors and gone into effect yet. The appointment was tabled until the next council meeting.

Dave Bowers, vice president of the CRC, was appointed for another term. Bowers serves as a senior vice president at Centier Bank.

Councilor Bruce Kimball, has been selected as the council’s representative on the Carmel Plan Commission.

Deborah Schmitz, realtor and associate broker for Berkshire Hathaway in HomeServices, was appointed to the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation.

James Hawkins, a current member of the Car-mel Board of Zoning Appeals, was selected to continue in that capacity.

CEF funds 17 classroom grants By Amanda Foust

[email protected]

Each spring and fall, the Carmel Educa-tion Foundation offers grants to teachers and schools to assist with curriculum sup-

plies, projects and profes-sional development.

“We are so excited about our job when we can give money to the teachers to enhance the teaching in the classroom,” Stephanie McDonald, CEF co-director, said.

In the most recent grant cycle, CEF an-nounced 17 grants to 58 teachers, totaling $16,454. Fundraising events such as the Ghosts and Goblins 5K and a telethon raised funds for these grants.

“Teachers really do need grants,” CEF co-director Barbara Danquist said. “They need to be able to add to their classroom curriculum and have no other way to get extra money for materials.”

The CEF 2015 fall grant winners include, back row from left, Laura Hayes, Jenna Adams, Beth Leffler, Matt Moeller, Kyle Schulenborg, Dan Marble, Jill Schipp, Jessica Niccum, Carli Worthman, Vanessa Trammell; and front row from left, Becky Campbell, Hella Rumschlag, Kristen Taylor, Lila Torp, Steph-anie Swartzendruber, Erin Boyce, Jill Hall and Sara Fernkas.

Carmel gear sent to Serbia

Children in Belgrade wear uniforms donated from Carmel. (submitted photo)

By Michelle Williams [email protected]

When Carmel resident Rade Savich heard through social media that a group of young children in Serbia needed equipment for their

small baseball league, he knew he wanted to help.

Savich has kept in touch with his homeland through his involvement with Lifeline Humanitarian Organization over the years, providing assistance to children residing in orphanages.

Although the organization typically send donations of medical supplies, clothing and necessities, space in one recent shipment was allowed for the baseball gear that Savich collected.

He originally put the word out through family and friends that he was looking for donations. Then he reached out to the Carmel Dads’ Club.

The Dads’ Club was able to produce a bounty of used and surplus gear for Savich’s endeavor — including bats, helmets, shirts and catcher’s equipment.

“If you give this to another baseball league (locally), they’re not going to wear something that says Carmel on it. But to a kid in Serbia, if a shirt says Carmel on it, or a hat says Nissan, it doesn’t matter to them. It’s baseball gear.” Savich said. “(Dads’ Club President Jack Beery)

cleaned up their warehouses and let me have it all, and we shipped it to the kids over there.”

Savich said his long-term dream is to help the growing league raise funds and eventually purchase a van. Because of the low participa-tion in the sport in Serbia, teams travel to neighboring countries seeking competition for tournaments. He hopes to round up another shipment of baseball gear, and potentially American football gear, in early 2016.

“It’s pretty cool that it was a small gesture here, but it’s really huge in the hearts of the people and the kids over there,” Savich said. “We’re all trying to get the kids, whether over here or over there, to do better, and have some kind of hope for good things for them.”

Monday morning blues might have been an apt description for students attending Carmel

High School in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their

classes were held in a building nicknamed the Blue School. The origin of the name has not been recorded. The location is known, howev-er, with boundaries of First Avenue Southeast on the east, South Street Southeast on the south and Range Line Road on the west.

Although the Blue School was built as the town’s first high school in 1887, the education system began much earlier. The first school was started in a one-room log church on the northeast corner of Range Line Road and Smokey Row Road in late 1833 or 1834. Other structures followed as the need developed.

The Blue School experienced several im-provements during the years. But by 1921, the Blue School was abandoned because a new school for students in all grades was built at the corner of East Main Street and Fourth

Avenue Northeast. Eventually other schools were built, and the Blue School reopened to accommodate only high school students. Its usefulness ended in 1958 when a new high school was built at its current location. The Blue School saw its last days.

The new school expanded as the population grew. Additions came in 1963, 1969 and 1977. Monday morning blues may still apply.

The illustration from a 1970 dedication program for a new addition shows the 1921 building next to the current one. The president of the Board of Education in 1970 was Richard Helmut, super-intendent of schools was Dr. Robert Hartsmann, and the principal was Dale E. Graham.

Grads selected for national team By Amanda Foust

[email protected]

From Carmel Pups Cheerleading to Indiana University to the U.S. Nationals, Carmel High

School alumnae Kirby Lynch and Kaylin Lapel have worked their way

to the top of the cheerleading pyramid. IU senior Lynch, a CHS 2011 grad, and sopho-

more Lapel, a 2014 CHS grad, have been se-lected for the 2016 U.S. National All Girl Team.

“This team, in the sport of cheerleading, is equivalent to participation in the Olympics. They will proudly be wearing USA across their chests and compete against all other inter-national cheerleading teams,” said Lisa Knipp, who coached the girls at CHS. “This accom-plishment is staggering when you consider there are approximately 400,000 cheerleaders in the U.S. and these Carmel athletes are two of the 37 females talented enough to repre-sent our country in the sport they love.”

Both girls are members of the IU cheerlead-ing team that recently won its fourth national title for Division 1-A at the UCA College Cheer and Dance Championships at Disney World’s Field House, beating out rivals from the Uni-versity of Alabama. Teams are scored on the

difficulty as well as execution.“Both Kirby and Kaylin brought an unprec-

edented will to prepare to be the best that they could be throughout their high school cheerleading careers,” Knipp said.

Both cheerleaders credited their time at CHS in helping them prepare for the cheer-leading success they are experiencing. The college team focuses on teamwork and catch-ing each other when they fall.

Two Carmel runners honored

By Amanda Foust [email protected]

Two young, Carmel athletes were hon-ored as Athletes of the Year by USA Track

and Field Indiana Jan. 16. Among the 33 ath-letes honored were

Macie DeLillo, a fifth grader at Mohawk Trails Elementary School, and Anna Christie, a sev-enth grader at Clay Middle School.

Both DeLillo and Christie have competed in the Carmel Distance Project, an offseason running club, and Carmel Pups. The founda-tion built by these youth clubs has allowed these two athletes to develop a strong love for running that matches their talents.

Twelve-year-old Christie, who won the girls 11-12 Athlete of the Year, has been run-ning since fourth grade. Winner of both the Indiana and Region 7 Junior Olympic titles; she also finished eleventh in the Indiana Middle School Championships and third in the Hamilton Co. Middle School Championships.

“Running allows me to push myself to my limit, and I like to push myself and improve,” Christie said.

DeLillo, 10, won the Girls 9-10 Athlete of

the Year honor. She has been running for three years. She said one of her favorite races was a 3K she ran at Carmel Middle School. Of the 200 girls competing, DeLillo placed second.

“Running is fun, because I get to run with other people such as my sister and get bet-ter together,” she said, “I like going fast.”

She said she plans to run with her sister in middle school next year.

In the Studio with Barry LantzBy Carolyn Martens

A nationally known interior designer, Barry Lantz creates paintings that radiate color and feeling.

How would you describe your art? “I paint with acrylic on canvas. My work

usually blends well with any design period – everything from contemporary to tradition-al. While the subject is mostly understated, the colors are very clear and vibrant.”

What’s your process?“First I decide on color and size. I may be

in a blue mood or a pink mood. Then I mix many shades of the overall background color and begin brushing and stroking. Within the background, a subject emerges for me, and I bring that subject forward and enhance it. The rhythm of the background and subject become more prominent as I progress. Lastly, I shade and texture the colors.”

How do you display your art? “The key to well-displayed art is light. Sec-

ondly, it should be hung at the appropriate height in relationship to the furniture and its

Improv troupe honoredBy Renee Larr • [email protected]

The Roundabout Playback Troupe has barely been around for one year, but the group of ac-tors is already winning awards for its unique

methods. Michelle Yadon, inclu-

sion supervisor for the Monon Community Center, created the group in late 2014. It allows participants – with and without disabilities – to act out stories sug-gested by audience members. Recently, the troupe accepted an honor from the Indiana Governor’s Council for Disability Awareness for its good work.

More recently, the troupe also found out that it received the Indiana Parks and Recre-ation Association Inclusion Program of Excel-lence Award. They were honored at an awards banquet Jan. 13 in Bloomington.

Yadon studied drama therapy at Kansas State University. That’s where she learned about playback theatre.

“It’s a form of theatre where audience members tell their stories and a troop of ac-tors act those stories out,” she said. “Some-times playback is just done for performance, or sometimes it’s done in therapy. We do it for advocacy and performance.”

Yadon has seen the affect the troupe has on its members.

“I just saw how powerful it was, how

people had an increase in communication, abstract thinking, understanding of self, self-determination and self-confidence. It was also really amazing because when we would rehearse, it wasn’t apparent who had a dis-ability and who didn’t,” she said.

The group performs each March as part of Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation’s Disability Awareness Campaign. The troupe’s name pays homage to Carmel.

“We thought the name would be something specific to Carmel since we have so many roundabouts. Also, because playback is kind of like a roundabout. There are stories that are coming in and out,” Yadon said.

The group’s next performance will be March 18 and 19 at the Monon Community Center. For more, visit carmelclayparks.com.

Crews guard against potholesBy Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

With the temperatures rising and falling during winter, it is prime pothole season.

A pothole begins to form when

cracks develop in the pavement from aging, traffic wear and winter freeze-thaw cycles. They continue to develop when water seeps into these cracks and freezes, expanding the layers of pavement, stone and soil. According to an INDOT press release, when the ice melts and contracts, heavy highway traffic further loosens the pavement, forming potholes.

Dave Huffman, director of the Carmel Street Dept., said the department has 48 full-time members. During the winter months, one of its tasks is to address potholes.

“We drive every street, every year, to evaluate their conditions,” Huffman said. “As a result of our inspections, we either patch where needed or place it on the paving list for resurfacing. We also have a patch truck out every day of the year so that we can take im-mediate steps to keep developing holes from getting too big.”

Huffman said the city’s paving budget is

established so his staffers are able to resur-face streets before they become maintenance issues.

“We have a few trouble areas — where water can sometimes stand or where there is an abundance of shade — but there are not that many, and we check them periodically for potential patching or milling,” Huffman said.

He said this spring, his workers will be crack-sealing Keystone Parkway to help keep it in good shape.

To make a report, residents can call 733-2001 or email [email protected]. There also is the MyCarmel App, which is an-other way to send reports.

INDOT officials said its crews are focused on maintaining and protecting the state’s roads and bridges. INDOT’s sealing and repaving proj-ects are designed to keep water from seeping into the pavement and forming potholes.

During 2015, INDOT repaved 1,720 miles of state highways, chip-sealed 1,250 miles and crack sealed an additional 5,670 miles, accord-ing to the release.

Motorists who want to report a pothole on a numbered state route, interstate or U.S. highway, can follow the “Report a Concern” link at potholes.indot.in.gov.

Art gives voice to autistic student

By Kelsey Ligon • [email protected]

John Tran hasn’t said a word in his 14 years of life, but he is making a big statement to the

world through his art, on display at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center in downtown Zionsville

through Feb. 20. The Carmel resident is on the autism spec-

trum and unable to speak. But his paintings, described by his teacher as “full of personal-ity,” have helped him find a voice.

The exhibit comes one year after he started painting, and in that year, he has shown dra-matic improvements in his control, focus and communication, all of which are skills that children on the autism spectrum often find difficult to master.

His teacher, Kathy Lloyd with Art Without Boundaries, said John’s straight lines along the bottoms of the painting are the boundaries he draws for himself, while the rest is composed of swoops of complementary colors.

John’s father, Steve Tran, was at the opening of the exhibit Jan. 16, and he said his son “puts him-self completely in the painting.” The paintings are an opportunity for family, friends and strangers to look deeper inside John’s mind, he added.

The show has been put on in part by the Autism Parent Care School in Carmel, which

John attends a few days of the week. The school offers natural environment training,

behavior analysis and brain mapping.

Dr. Jane Yip, the clinical direc-tor of the school, conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the exhibit.

“Currently, we look at people with disabilities as people to shut away,” Yip said during the ceremony. “Instead, we need to utilize them and show their talents.”

This exhibit is the fourth in John’s career, and each sale goes

into a trust fund for him to use as an adult. Most of the paintings are between $75 and $200.

Blog promotes local cooking

learN MOre

By Renee Larr • [email protected]

Emily Frye has combined her love for Car-mel and homemade cooking in a blog that

makes it easy for readers to shop local to create dishes that range from sa-

vory breakfasts to exotic appetizers. Food on the Monon launched approx-

imately eight months ago after Frye’s husband said his coworkers would ask about the unique homemade food he brought for lunch each day.

“I’m absolutely in love with Carmel,” Frye said. “We’ve lived here about a year and a half. I just felt like it was a great fit for me to pro-mote local businesses and incorporate their products in my recipes.”

The blog has a focus on the Monon Trail, which is one of Frye’s favorite spots in Carmel.

“I have two massive Airedale terriers. I take them on the trail, and that’s where I do my thinking,” Frye said. “I love to reflect on the nature and beauty of the trail.”

Frye spends several hours each week re-searching for her blog, which includes trips to the library to scour cookbooks.

“It helps me with my writing language, ex-panding my vocabulary in the culinary scene, technique and skill,” said Frye, who does not have any formal culinary training.

Many of her recipes are inspired by her domestic and international travels as a flight attendant, a job she held for nearly 10 years.

“I try to bring in the international flair of all the countries and cultures,” she said. “I try to use a well-traveled point of view.”

Frye posts new dishes a few times per week. The blog has gained more than 2,500 local and international followers. Her hopes for the future are to increase her part-nerships with local vendors.

“You can never do enough. There is always more you can add, more you can learn. I think that’s the beauty of it,” she said. “You get the instant gratification. I can tell a recipe is a winner and I’m on the right track.”

Interim president brings experience to role

By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

At 76, Frank Basile is still doing more than his part as a patron of arts.

This time Basile has been called into ser-vice as the interim president of

Heartland Film, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit that organizes the Heart-land Film Festival.

“I enjoy the challenge,” Basile said. “I believe in the mission, so it was an opportune time to lend some as-sistance to the organization, and I’m looking forward to it frankly.”

The opening came about when Stuart Low-ry resigned for personal reasons. Heartland Board Chairman Gary D. Cohen announced the appointment of Basile in December.

“Our board is very grateful both to Stuart for his significant contributions to our suc-cess, and to Frank, for his willingness to lead our efforts at this critical time,” Cohen stated.

Basile is hoping the search for the new pres-ident will be concluded in six to nine months.

“Although, I recall as I was interim president at the Center for the Performing Arts, I was there for a year and two months,” Basile said. “So you just don’t know long it’s going to take at this moment.”

He said the temporary paid post is a full-time pursuit.

“I’ve been in the office each day since I took over, which was Dec. 16,” Basile said.

The Heartland Film Festival is preparing for its 25th anniversary this October. Basile said a huge gala is planned in conjunction with the event and the organization is trying to schedule celebrities to come in for the festival and gala. The festival is set from Oct. 21 to 30.

“Our goal is to move it even higher up in film festivals,” Basile said. “We’re

looking for someone who has the connections and the background and the knowledge to move us to the next level.”

Basile, retired executive of the Gene B. Glick Company, also is on the board of Center for the Performing Arts, the Eiteljorg Museum and the Indiana Historical Society.

“As I did at the Center, I’m also going to participate in the search committee,” Basile said. “It’s so important to get the right person in that I want to have a hand in it.”

Basile has been a Heartland board member for one year.

“It’s good that I have board experience there, so I know something about the orga-nization, which shortens the learning curve,” Basile said.

Music showcase returns in Feb.By Joseph Knoop • [email protected]

Music students and performers in the India-napolis area can look forward to another op-

portunity for recognition this month at the Young Performers Showcase,

hosted at Piano Solutions at 575 W. Carmel Dr.The showcase began in 1998 as a way for

young musicians to gain experience playing in front of a crowd and encourage participation in the arts. More than 140 performers were featured at the 2015 showcase.

Applications are being accepted through Feb. 4 for the piano/instrumental division, which is scheduled to perform Feb. 13 and 14. This is the only division in the competition this year.

Event organizer and Carmel Arts Council Secretary Susan Anderson believes the event serves as an important stepping stone for young performers in their journey toward a more realized involvement of music in their lives.

“We hear from teenagers and college stu-dents who say ‘oh, yes, I remember when I was in that competition,’ and we also have a children’s art gallery, and we get the same result,” Anderson said.

Scholarship awards are given to multiple winners in the competitive division, open only to graduating seniors with parents or legal guardians residing in the Carmel area. The first-place winner will be awarded $2,500, and second place will receive $1,500.

Applications can either be filled out online at carmelartscouncil.org or picked up at the SoHo Cafe & Gallery at 620 Range Line Rd. in Monon Square. All applications must be sub-mitted or postmarked no later than Feb. 4 to the Carmel Arts Council at 622 S. Range Line Road, Suite P, Carmel, IN 46032.

Registration is $20 per student, plus an additional $10 fee for solo performance or $7 fee for a duet performance. For more, visit to carmelartscouncil.org, or call Susan Anderson at 446-0094.

Carmel orthodontist Neil Lipken lives for Groundhog Day

In his words: Dr. Neil LipkenPersonal: Graduated from North Central High School in 1968. Has taught end-time Bible prophecy for more than 35 years. Photography is a hobby.Birthday: April 24, 1950. “That’s 19 and not 18. Banks sometimes get confused and put down my birthday as 1850. I am no spring chicken, but I am not fossil-ized either.”Favorite movie: “You would think ‘Groundhog Day,’

and it’s certainly in the top 10. I’m not sure it’s my favorite mov-ie. It is good movie. “Jesus of Nazareth” (1977). In my opinion, it was the best biblical movie ever made.”On his philosophy: “I definitely embrace the bizarre — I never want to be normal.”Favorite team: “Indiana University basketball and football, and I always root against Purdue.”


In the movie “Groundhog Day,” Bill Murray plays a Pittsburgh TV weatherman who goes through a personal hell as he keeps reliving the same Feb. 2 over and over again.

That would be heaven for Dr. Neil Lipken. Groundhog Day is the Carmel orthodontist’s favorite day of the year.

“It’s like Christmas for him,” said his long-suffering assistant Gloria Johnson, who has learned to make eye-rolling an art form over the years. “We celebrate it two or three months ahead. And it’s not like we don’t talk about it year-round.”

Lipken, a 65-year-old Carmel resident, has been interested in the weather since his high school days. He wears a barometer on his watch.

“I took up the groundhog thing when I was finishing up den-tal school,” Lipken said. “It really wasn’t related to my interest in the weather, because his accuracy is so terrible.”

Legend has it that if a groundhog comes out of his burrow and sees his shadow on Feb. 2, that means six more weeks of winter. If it’s cloudy, and he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early. Punxsutawney Phil, the famous Pennsylvania groundhog, has been making predictions since 1887. Stormfax.com determines his predictions have been right just 39 per-cent of the time.

No matter, that hasn’t diminished Lipken’s love for the furry creatures.

“It was just mainly because he was cute and adorable and short,” he said. “I’m 5’6”. I love anyone shorter than I am, whether it’s rodents, little kids, small dogs.”

Lipken said his aliases are Rochester the Rodent and Fred the Groundhog.

“If the truth was known, I am actually a large rodent in a human suit,” said Lipken, who readily admits to being eccentric.

Lipken said one reason he is so obsessed with ground-hogs is that other than Bill Murray, “no one has paid them much attention.”

Visitors to his Carmel of-fice are greeted by a stuffed groundhog.

“We’ve had a few patients that just kind of back up when they see it,” John-son said. “I don’t know if we have had any animal activists complain.”

Johnson explained a patient’s father shot the groundhog and another patient’s father was a taxidermist. They surprised Lipken with a birthday present many years ago.

She said those patients who live on farms know that groundhogs cause a lot of damage, so they need to get rid of them.

“A lot of people say, ‘Hey, I got (groundhogs) in my yard, how many do you want?” Johnson said.

Lipken’s office is saturated with numerous pictures of groundhogs, stuffed toy furry animals and a groundhog flag.

The orthodontist used to dress up in a furry rodent suit on Groundhog Day. His favorite Groundhog Day was when he wore a tuxedo and went to visit a groundhog at the Indianapo-lis Zoo. He helped convince Camel Mayor Jim Brainard to join him for a brief Groundhog Day parade in 1999. Now most years, he just wears a sweatshirt with a groundhog. Each year his wife, Cynthia, makes Groundhog Day cupcakes, with a choco-late groundhog coming out of the icing.

Lipken figures he picked the right profession for his passion. After graduating from Indiana University in 1972, Lipken went to medical school for 2 1/2 years before transferring to dental school. He graduated from the IU School of Dentistry in 1977

and then went to orthodontic graduate school.Giving up medical school was a good thing, Lipken

figures.

“If I was an oncologist, I’d say, ‘Well you got liver cancer, but the good news, today is Groundhog Day,’” Lipken said. “That wouldn’t have flown too well.”

Plus groundhogs could use some braces for those buck teeth.

“They could use some head gear, but we might never be able to get them to wear it,” Lipken said.

Dr. Neil Lipken has been celebrating Groundhog Day for years. His favorite holiday included a visit to the Indianapolis Zoo to visit with a groundhog. (Submitted photo)

Commentary by Terry Anker

As he often does, a good friend for-warded a quote via email designed to both break-up the day and to inspire a contem-plative moment. In his book adapted from a series of wartime BBC interviews, “Mere Christianity,” C.S. Lewis said “If I find in my-self desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” The leading advocate at the time for a reasoned de-fense of the faith, Lewis brought attention to the universal longing of humankind.

Whether one conforms with the view that our lives on this Earth are inconsequential to the ones that will follow in heaven, most of us experience some sense of isolation and lack of belonging. Our relationships, our careers, and even our own self-worth, at times seem to elude satisfaction. Luckily, the sensation ebbs and flows for the major-ity. Yet for some, a constant pall of loneli-ness hangs on to them. We need more. We

need better. We need different! So, how do we satiate our desires without, if we follow Lewis’s argument, dying? Moreover, doesn’t a healthy sense of aspiration lift us all?

Certainly, we should find our center – our point on the horizon – and cling to it. What in our lives is it that matters most? My wise spouse once proclaimed, “You are most hap-py about tomorrow when you are a bit un-happy about today.” She is right. Some need to long for improvement today if they hope to achieve it tomorrow. It keeps the line of sight off of our shoes and out in front. Is it more important to know (or imagine) where we are going than to know (or imagine) where we are? Today may be filled with limitations, but tomorrow is abundant with opportunity. Isn’t that where we really belong?

Q U O T e O f T h e w e e k

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I don’t know about most women, but I appreciate the occasional catcall. A hearty

whistle from the construc-tion site as I jog by. An enthusiastic honk from the

landscape truck as I idle at a stoplight. Even the mall vendor touting his perfume with, “Hey, beautiful lady!” At my age, I feel any unsolicited attention paid to a gal in sweatpants or a minivan is cause for celebration. Yay, me! I haven’t completely fallen apart!

But some guys take it too far. I was at the grocery store the other day and be-cause, for once, I was child and husband free, I decided to use a holiday gift card at the Starbucks counter for a coffee. Unfor-tunately, a sign indicated that the Meijer employee-turned-barista had stepped away for a moment, and so I had nothing to do but stand there and wait. Enter a man to my left, sauntering out of produce and right up next to me. We’re the only two people in this section of the store, but he comes to rest less than a foot away. Personal space was clearly not on his radar.

We exchanged pleasantries, and be-cause I’m nice, I answered his questions about the order I would hopefully be plac-ing soon. Then he starts dropping com-ments like, “This is the most enjoyable wait I’ve had in a while, next to a pretty woman like you,” and “You’re so nice, I hope we’re here a while longer.” I’m super uncomfort-able, but I also really want a latte. And he’s still standing like 10 inches from me.

Finally the counter reopens. Again, my politeness sabotages by efforts at disinter-est and forces me to engage my “admirer.” I offer to let him order first since he is only getting a muffin. His reply is “No, because then I’d be denied the pleasure of your company.”

Had this been an elderly man and a harmless flirtation, I would have played right along. But actually being hit on by a middle-aged stranger at the coffee shop was too much. Just give me the imper-sonal catcalls from afar! Peace out.

Last year, we wrote in this space about how we were turning our editorial manage-ment over to one among our news team, Sophie Pappas, now our editorial director. It was difficult to let go, but the results of our decision couldn’t have worked out better. Now we find ourselves in the same boat with respect to our revenue operation. It is as near and dear to us as editorial and our team are. But if we were honest with ourselves, and we are, it became apparent it was time to step

back from that part of the business, too. We’re grow-ing, and we believe we can grow a whole lot better by relinquishing the day-to-day management of sales to a proven professional. So that’s what we decided to do, and as of Feb. 1, Marka

Sonoga is our first sales manager. She comes to us from El Dorado, Ark., where she was the advertising director, having previously served in a similar capacity in LaGrange, Ga. Prior to that, she was involved in ad sales for print and television in Youngstown, Ohio. Needless to say, we’re excited to have her aboard. We have tasked Marka with building a newer and improved sales culture here, a challenge she readily accepts. You’ll find her out in the com-munity as often as in the office, because she wants to become immersed in all the goings-on. It’s striking and energizing to sit back and realize how far this company has come with the help of incredibly talented people and valued advertising partners. We anticipate Marka only will add to it. You may reach her at [email protected] or 317.489.4444.

Editor, I was just wondering if Cinnabon or Pills-

bury was sponsoring those giant, concrete cinnamon rolls on the Main Street and Key-stone roundabout? You know, the ones that are obstructing everyone's view of traffic.

It used to be grass. Now it is a concrete swirl on each end. Since I pass it every day about 6:45 a.m. – before breakfast – they look an awful lot like giant concrete cinnamon rolls. They block visibility, just like some of the other art and structures in Carmel.

I find it ironic that the city removes people's garage sale signs because they block visibility, and yet they erect giant concrete structures such as these and the gateway to the Arts and Design District by the library. The only rea-son I could see behind these visual barriers to traffic visibility would be corporate sponsor-ship. That leads me back to my original point

of sarcasm.Or perhaps these are a Star Wars reference

to the hair buns on the original Princess Leia? Now Disney would definitely be a good corpo-rate sponsor.

Unless these are sponsored, it is a huge waste of money that would be better spent to improve that particular roundabout. If you get on from Keystone northbound to go west on Main Street, you have to immediately swing wide to get into the far lane so you can go straight onto Main Street.

I just hope they don't waste money like this at 126th Street, because the neighbors and I (who pay taxes here) use those grassy roundabouts every Fourth of July to watch the Carmelfest fireworks.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

The book is titled “Why Hoosiers Can’t Pronounce ‘Indianapolis.’” I skimmed through

it and recalled interviewing the author, Dr. John Terhune, on my TV segment about 15 years ago.

John is a local chiropractor who spent part of his life boning up on how people, specifically Hoosiers, talk.

John’s contention is that Hoosiers have created and speak a “new global language” by combining words into nifty little linguistic packages. “People in other states also run words together occasionally,” he said, “but Hoosiers are way bedderdnat.” (better than that). Hoosiers reduce the number of syllables in a word, which gives them mordnenuf (more than enough) time to watch baskaball (basketball).

If you are innersted (interested), you can listen to the book’s accompanying CD that provides hunnerds (hundreds) of additional samples. But the most fun is John’s artful analysis of the variety of ways our city’s name is pronounced. Below are more than a dozen examples that John collected over the years.

Carmel concert will be homecoming for 2 Another Round members

MUsIC

Another Round’s appearance in Carmel will be especially meaningful for members Mike Phipps and Jordan Ehrlich.

“Apart from holiday shows at private events at people’s homes, this will be the first public show we’ve had in Carmel, so that’s exciting,” Phipps said.

Another Round, Indiana University’s men’s a cappella group, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 140.

The group was known as Straight No Chaser until the name was changed for the collegiate group in 2012. The group was founded in 1996 by Dan Ponce and several friends from the Singing Hoosiers. The original group reformed in 2008 and toured as Straight No Chaser.

Phipps is a senior at IU and Ehrlich is a sophomore. They were members together in Carmel High School’s Ambassadors in 2011-12.

“It’s been really interesting being part of a group that built such a legacy before I even came into the group,” Ehrlich said. “I had no idea at all what I was getting into when I joined but since being in it, it feels like a huge opportunity has been pre-sented to me that I never knew existed. The fact that we were able to travel out to Colorado because we had made a connec-tion with Isle of Capri Casino (in November). Just opportunities to perform that I didn’t even know I’d be able to do. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Ehrlich said Phipps was one of his best friends when they were in the Ambassadors.

“I never paid much attention to him being in Another Round until that summer going into my freshman year,” Ehrlich said. “He started to talk more in depth about it and it really intrigued me. It’s really entirely because of Mike that I auditioned for the group.”

Another Round performs a variety of hits from Motown clas-sics to Justin Bieber.

“I think my favorite is ‘Stand by Me,’” Phipps said.Ehrlich’s favorite is “Lean on Me,” which the group always

sings at get-togethers with former members or when new members join.

“The Motown classics are some of the most fun songs to do,” Ehrlich said. “When you see someone in the audience sing-ing along with you, that’s a lot of fun to do. When we sing ‘My Girl’ people really get into that. Any time an audience really loves a song, that’s my favorite, too.”

Phipps, a 2012 Carmel High School graduate, joined early in his freshman year at IU.

“I think it’s pretty special that this group of guys has be-come my best friends,” Phipps said. “We’re normal college guys and all of sudden we perform all these shows, we feel pretty lucky to do that. We’ve just had a blast doing it all these

years.”Among the states Phipps has performed in besides Colorado,

are Ohio, Kansas and Michigan.“Mostly we’re around the Midwest,” Phipps said.Phipps said the show does 20 to 25 big shows per year. “Then we have tons of other shows that are smaller,” Phipps

said.Phipps, who is nearing the end of his Another Round career,

has a job lined up at Epic, a software company for electronics house records, in Madison, Wis.

“I’d like to keep singing,” he said. “I’m not sure in what capacity.”

Both Ehrlich and Phipps expect many friends and family members for the Carmel Community Playhouse show.

“My friends from Ambassadors are excited to see me per-form with a different group,” Ehrlich said. “A lot of my friends’ parents will be there. It will be a good time to show them what I’ve been doing the whole time.”

Catch the ‘Legends’ this monthBy Zach Dunkin • [email protected]

Sure, they’re not the real thing. But what do you think it would cost to see a concert fea-

turing Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner and Bette Midler –

even if you could get them all on the stage at one gathering?

A lineup of entertainers impersonating that power quintet will take the stage when the “Legends in Concert” show headlines the Terrace Showroom at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson on Feb. 19, 20 and 21.

“Legends in Concert’s reputation of only using the best of the best tribute artists is the main contributor of their legitimacy and longevity,” said Adam Kallick, Hoosier Park’s director of entertainment.

“Legends in Concert” has entertained more than 30 million fans worldwide at various ven-ues such as Hoosier Park, which hosted its first Legends show last May. Legends claims to be the longest running tribute show in Las Vegas.

In addition to spot-on imitations, the 75-minute shows are known for their elabo-rate theatrical sets, costumes and special effects, including 3D multimedia and multimil-lion dollar, state-of-the-art lighting, laser and sound systems.

CHS to present ‘Romeo and Juliet’By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

Carmel High School senior Aaron Guevara knew the role he wanted when auditions

started.“‘Romeo and Juliet’ is one

of the greatest plays of all time,” Guevara said. “Since this was my last perfor-mance I really wanted to play the lead one so I’m hap-py it turned out that way.”

Sophomore Anja Reese will play opposite Guevara when Carmel High School

presents “Romeo and Juliet” Feb. 4-6 in the auditorium.

Guevara said this is his first lead role since playing the lead role in “Peter Pan” as a Creek-side Middle School eighth grader.

“I always like new challenges especially when it comes to theater and this is an entirely new thing,” Guevara said of his first Shakespeare play.

Reese said she is embracing her first expe-rience with Shakespeare.

“I’m really enjoying getting to know the language and learning how to bring it to life,” Reese said.

Reese is a member of the Accents, CHS’s all

TheaTer

female choir.“The reason I started to do drama is I was

so interested in music and the two go hand-in-hand,” Reese said.

Director Maggie Cassidy said it is the first time she has directed Shakespeare at CHS.

“We’re setting it in a modern time period to make it more accessible for the teenagers who are going to come see it,” Cassidy said. “It throws people off when you have those big poofy dresses from the Elizabethan time period. It is so stuffy that it seems boring. It’s Shakespeare words with a modern twist.”

The play will be a 90-minute version adapted by Butler University professor Diane Timmerman.

The performances will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 4, 5 and 6 with a 2 p.m. on Feb. 6. Tickets are $10. To purchase tickets, visit ticketracker.com.

HAMBURGER • GRILLED CHICKENCHICKEN FINGERS • BREADED COD

GRILLED CHEESE • HOT DOG

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

We came up with this recipe because every Super Bowl party needs a platter of sand-wiches that is expandable, tasty and easy. Looking for a more intense flavor, we made brats cooked in beer and special spices, served on kraut. To make the plate expandable for larger amounts of guests and for children, we cooked up some precooked stadium brats, and for the kids, apple chicken sausages. All the extra sausages should be browned in a separate skillet and placed on the bed of kraut as needed. The brats with kraut make a very satisfying sandwich if you crave German/Polish flavor Americanized. We love this dish served on poppy seed rolls with spicy mustard.

Ingredients:• 1/8 teaspoon crushed celery seeds • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed• 1 teaspoon onion powder• 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder• 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar• 1/2 cup sour cream• 1 pound fresh Johnsonville Original

Bratwurst • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer • 32 oz. jar of Vlasic Polish Sauerkraut,

drained• Extra sausages – Johnsonville Stadium

Style Cooked Brats and Johnsonville Apple Chicken Sausage Links (cooked)

Preparation: Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet and brown each side gently over medium heat. Mix together beer and dry ingredients in a bowl, making sure the brown sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Uncover the skillet and raise heat to gently

boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syr-upy liquid, for about 15 minutes. Roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated on all sides. Transfer brats to a platter and keep them warm. Add the sauerkraut and sour cream to the skillet and to mix with leftover sauce, stir fry 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can add more sausages until everyone has had his or her fill.

“Where’s Amy?” … The Broadway U.S. tour of “The Wizard of Oz” blew into town, and I had the opportunity to hang out with some amazing cast members for an exclusive photo shoot for Current. I loved spending time with the talented Morgan Reynolds (Scarecrow), Jay McGill (Tin Man) and Aaron Fried (Cowardly Lion). They were too much fun. It’s safe to say these boys are now fans of Current. Butler Mascot Blue III even stopped by for a few quick poses in hopes to boot Toto out of a job. Current columnist and Channel 8 host Dick Wolfsie and RTV6’s Beth Vaughn also stopped by for an interview on the set at Clowes Memorial Hall. The show is truly spectacular with stunning and electrifying special effects that are mind blowing. If you missed Broadway Across America Indianapolis’ “The Wizard of Oz” be sure to check out “Once” coming in February and the family friendly “Newsies” in March. Yep, I can’t wait to bring more exclusive behind the scenes and photos for Current. See you there and your little dog, too!

Doubt: A popular theme on stage

perfOrMaNCe

Some of the costumes for “Doubt,” on stage Feb. 5-14. (Submitted photo)

Column courtesy of Civic Theatre

In some circumstances, we may never learn the truth. The feelings of uncertainty

and ambiguity have been a common topic in pop culture,

such as in the renowned podcast “Serial” and the explosive Netflix series “Making a Murderer.” It is part of human nature to ob-sess over uncovering the truth and bringing the guilty to justice. However, quick judg-ments and corruption can be disastrous for the wrongly accused, while not acting on a suspicion can be just as catastrophic for an innocent bystander.

This theme is prevalent in Civic Theatre’s fourth Mainstage production this season, “Doubt: A Parable.” John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning dramatic play first appeared off-Broadway in 2004, eventually making it to the Great White Way in 2005. In 2008, it was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film.

Each season, Civic Theatre strives to pro-duce a thought-provoking, intellectual play that challenges audiences to think differ-ently about their surrounding environment. “Doubt” accomplishes this mission with the

story of a Catholic school in the Bronx dur-ing the fall of 1964. It is the story of tradition and vigilance seen in the school’s principal, Sister Aloysius, questioning the motives behind progression and acceptance as pre-sented by the parish priest, Father Flynn.

“Doubt requires more courage than con-viction does, and more energy; because conviction is a resting place and doubt is infinite – it is a passionate exercise,” stated playwright Shanley.

DOUBT: A PARABLE runs Feb. 5- 14. Visit www.civictheatre.org for more details.

Jazzing it up at Palladium

MUsIC

By Anna Skinner • [email protected]

One is equipped with a saxophone, the other is a jazz guitarist. John Scofield and

Joe Lovano will be passing through Carmel and performing at the Palladium at 8 p.m. Feb. 6.

“It is an all-star group,” said Doug Tatum, vice president of programming at The Center for the Performing Arts. “John Scofield and Joe Lovano are both legendary jazz musicians and band leaders each leading their own group. It’s a rare combination to see two band leaders coming together to form a superstar quartet.”

Tatum highlighted that in addition to Lova-no and Scofield, Ben Street will perform bass and Bill Stewart will be on the drums.

Lovano, who hails from Cleveland, draws both past and present music into his perfor-mances. Tatum said that Scofield emerged in the late 1980s and plays his jazz guitar with a rock sounding touch.

“It’s a unique combination of new and old in his play and he can shift gears in a split second to draw upon whatever inspires him in the moment,” Tatum said of Lovano’s sax playing. “With John Scofield, you have this rock sounding guitar in a jazz group so it

definitely combines the elements of rock and jazz. He’s also a master improviser and in-novative player.”

Although Scofield and Lovano have not passed through Carmel before, they have played together in the past. The quartet’s tour will serve as a reunion between the two musicians.

“As a jazz aficionado myself, these guys are truly master musicians,” Tatum said. “Anybody interested in great jazz and impro-vised music couldn’t do better than attend-ing this concert. These guys are universally recognized for what they do.”

Ticket prices range from $25-85, with student prices set at $15. For more, visit the-centerpresents.org.

Veal scaloppine marsalaCommentary by Ceci Martinez

Tonight my husband is treating us with a very special dinner at home for Valentine’s Day. Veal Scaloppine Marsala, one of his favor-ite dishes, is a mouth-watering classic.

Notes: Proper cooking of scaloppine (Ital-ian for “thin cut”) should produce a tender meat. Don’t cook scaloppine in sauce as it will toughen up. To stem shiitake mushrooms pinch off stem from its base.

Serves: 4 / Time: 20 minutesIngredients: 1 pound veal scaloppine, salt

and freshly ground black pepper, 1 1/2 table-spoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 red onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup), 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut in half, 1 1/2 cups medium sweet marsala wine, 3 table-spoons low-fat half-and-half, 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of un-bleached white flour, 1 table-spoon chopped rosemary

Directions: Season the scaloppine on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat half olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Quickly sear the scaloppine on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer veal to a platter. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the onion and mushroom and cook over medium heat until just beginning to brown,

about 4 minutes. Add marsala, half-and-half, butter and flour; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until sauce is reduced and thick, 8

to 10 minutes. Taste seasoning, adding salt and pepper if neces-

sary. Reinforce the marsala flavor by adding a fresh splash at the end. Transfer scaloppine to sauce, sprinkle with rosemary and serve at once.

Behind Bars: Kir Royale Patachou Get it at Café Patachou, Carmel Ingredients: Prosecco, Crème de Framboise Raspberry Essence Liqueur, lemon twist Directions: Pour a flute of prosecco, or any dry white wine, add raspberry liqueur – varying the amount depending on how sweet, fruity and colorful you desire your drink. Add lemon twist.

Veal Scaloppine Marsala is a good meal for a family Valentine’s Day celebration. (Photo by Ceci

Commentary by Mary Ian McAteer, M.D.

Teen alcohol use remains a serious prob-lem. Peer pressure can be a strong influence

for teenagers in a time of life when “being

an adult” takes on greater importance. With more teens dying each year in alcohol-related car accidents and evidence that suggests those who start drinking at an early age are more likely to misuse alcohol later in life, parents need to focus on ways they can help their children make good decisions about alcohol.

Talk about it. Parents can begin talking with their children about drinking in an age-appropriate way as early as fourth or fifth grade. As children reach the teenage years, conversations should become more frequent and point to specific dangers, such as im-paired judgement, slower reaction time and the risk of misuse or addiction.

Be a good role model. Parents are power-ful role models. Children will learn a lot about drinking — responsibly or irresponsibly — by

watching their parents. Parents send mes-sages to their children when they drink at a friend’s house and then drive home or come in the door after a hard day at work and im-mediately pour a glass of wine.

Establish firm rules about drinking. Underage drinking is illegal — even in private homes with adult supervision. To protect your family, rules about underage drinking in the home should be no different than the law. Lov-ingly communicate this to your children, and be sure they understand the consequences.

Stay involved. Know your teenager’s friends and their parents. Pay attention to changes in attitude or behavior, including declining school performance or hesitancy to bring new friends to the house, which may signal alcohol use or other problems.

As a working mother of 16-year-old twins, Kim Keck figured being overweight and in

less-than-perfect health were just part of life as a busy mom.

But after a visit to her doctor showed her cholesterol levels spiking, she said she de-cided her family was the biggest reason she needed to make some lifestyle changes.

“We always use the excuses that we’re busy, we’re taking care of our families, we’re taking care of our jobs,” said Keck, 44. “We always put ourselves last as moms. We’ve got to stop putting ourselves last and start put-ting ourselves toward the top of the list. Your kids are your future, and you’ve got to be able to be here for your kids.”

The Carmel resident went on a low-carb diet and dropped 50 pounds in six months.

She has been selected to represent the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign in 2016 through the “Real Women. Real Change.” program.

She is the winner in the self-nominated category and will be featured on a billboard and appear at the Red Dress Dash Feb. 5 in down-town Indianapolis and the Go Red for Women Luncheon Feb. 19.

Weight loss story inspiring others

Keck, a 1990 Carmel High School gradu-ate, heard about the AHA campaign through St.Vincent in Carmel, where she works as a solutions development analyst. She said she doesn’t have time to commit to a workout program, so every day she walks around the atrium in her office building. That’s the only exercise she’s added to her lifestyle.

For Keck, the changes have affected the entire family.

“My husband also started the diet at the same time as me, which was huge, because he has also lost 50 pounds,” Keck said. “He does all the cooking in the house, so we kind of support each other.”

Kim Keck has lost 50 pounds by making health-ier food choices and taking time to walk at her office. (Submitted photos)

Eric Murphy has always been a big propo-nent of specialty condiments.

So the 2009 Carmel High School graduate starting writing a blog about condiments after graduating from Indiana University with a

business degree in 2013.“When you walk into a condiment aisle at a

grocery store, it is really overwhelming,” Mur-phy said. “You see so many different products and so many different brands, and the only ones you really know are the big-name labels that everyone trusts. The whole idea of the blog is I would rate and review condiments from retailers and then from different restau-rants around the country. So it could be more of a central rating for condiment ratings and reviews.”

Murphy, 25, then decided it could turn his condiment passion into a business venture, selling condiment specialty boxes called Condiment Connection from different cities. He started out with Indianapolis and Chicago condiment boxes for sale, beginning Nov. 25.

Murphy rolled out the Cincinnati version, including Montgomery Inn barbecue sauce and Skyline Chili, in mid-January. Buffalo and New York City editions will be rolled out next. St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Pitts-burgh will follow, along with several others. There also will be a build-your-own-box with any four condiments.

“It’s just not economical for a consumer to buy one condiment from me because it would

cost them $15 to $20, so the way I get around it is bundling, so I put them together,” he said. I also wanted to have it at a price people are comfortable with to send as a gift, so that’s in the $30 to $50 price range.”

The boxes retail for $39.95.The Indianapolis box contains St. Elmo’s

cocktail sauce, Squealers Smokin’ Hot BBQ Sauce, Best Boy Bourbon Barrel Carmel Sauce and LocalFolks Stone-Ground Mustard.

Murphy said for each city he is evaluating eight to 10 condiments to select four that meet qualifications.

Murphy, who lives in downtown Indianapo-lis, uses the basement in his parents’ Carmel home to store the inventory and ship his items. Murphy said most of the business so far has been customers buying the boxes as gifts.

Murphy has worked for International Medi-cal Group since September.

“I tell people I have an 8 to 5 job, and then I come home and have an 8 to 12 (job),” Murphy said.

If his Condiment Connection catches on, it will be well worth it, Murphy figures.

Earlier in 2015, Amanda Newman was facing a decision.

She owned three con-signment shops in Carmel: Amanda’s City-Chic Con-

signment along Range Line Road, The District ExChange on Main Street and Carmel Consign-ment on Meridian Street.

One of the locations, Amanda’s City-Chic, which focused on furniture, needed to be relocated since the building was going to be demolished in 2016 to make way for Justin Moffett’s $100-million-plus transformation of the Midtown area. Another location focused on ladies’ clothing had its lease up.

But the answer seemed to present itself. She said the perfect location opened up at 715 E. Carmel Dr.

Now she’s relocated all three stores into that one space, located near Keystone Av-enue, and renamed it Amanda’s Exchange.

“It’s something we wanted to do for a few years,” Newman, who owns it with her hus-band Jeff, said. “With the lease coming due on our ladies’ store and the upcoming Midtown project, we started looking aggressively, and we found the perfect location and it’s been the best decision. The visibility and traffic is great. There’s plenty of space and parking. Our existing customers are happy, and we’re get-ting lots of new customers as well.”

Newman said customers like making one trip, which means more business for her company.

“It’s more convenient for customers since everything is under one roof,” she said. “It’s kind of one stop.”

relOCaTION

Having everything under one roof allowed Amanda’s to extend the hours until 8 p.m. and maximize staff efficiency. Newman used to split her time between the three locations, and now she can stay in one place. It saves money on marketing, utilities and other expenses.

The store’s hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mon-day to Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

The new space is just under 11,000 square feet, which provides room for all three stores without paying an arm and a leg for storage, she said.

Newman also owns a men’s consignment shop in Indianapolis, and that will remain separate.

She said Carmel is the perfect market for consignment, which allows people to buy and sell used items.

“It’s something that Carmel needs,” she said. “We need a place to sell items but also a place to buy great finds at an affordable price.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Functional kitchen with a view

Background Info: This home on Geist Reservoir in the Ashford Point neighborhood was built in 1998. The homeowners have lived there for 14 years but their home lacked the functionality and updates they needed for their family.

The goal was to achieve a functional space for both everyday living and entertaining.

1. The new kitchen cabinetry added significant storage to the room. They especially love the accessories. The homeowners were able to find a home for the items stored in the ga-rage and even items from a storage unit.

2. The cooktop in the new, larger island pro-vides a great place for cooking, especially when entertaining.

3. A second island with significant seating was designed to be close to the new windows, overlooking the scenic reservoir.

4. Traditional materials such as the wood-look tile floor and glossy blue-green backsplash tile coordinate with the rest of the home, and flow with the theme of the water.

5. With the many cabinet glass inserts, the homeowners love that they can now display inherited items that have been in storage for several years!

befOre prObleMs:

The kitchen was not user-friendly or ef-ficient. There was limited countertop space and cabinet storage. They kept several items in the garage that ultimately became a hassle when needed for cooking. They also do a lot of entertaining with family and friends that the space did not function well for.

Gender-neutral ‘they’ comes into its own

graMMar gUY

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

If you caught my last column, you will recall my bemusement – and horror – at an emoji

being chosen “Word of the Year” by Oxford Dic-tionaries. Fortunately,

the American Dialect Society provided us with a much better choice: singular, gender-neutral “they.”

This is a great choice for a host of reasons, but primarily because it recognizes the natural evolution of the word. This is how people talk. You want to use “they” as a singular, gender-neu-tral pronoun – and most of you probably do already. It saves us as speakers and writers from awkward “he/she” constructions. It also has the benefit, as the American Dialect Soci-ety notes, of respecting folks who make the conscious choice of “rejecting the traditional gender binary of he and she.”

I’ll let the American Dialect Society explain further:

“The use of singular ‘they’ builds on centu-ries of usage, appearing in the work of writ-ers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen. In 2015, singular ‘they’ was embraced by the Washington Post style guide. Bill Walsh, copy editor for the Post, described it as ‘the

only sensible solution to English’s lack of a gender-neutral third-person sin-gular personal pronoun.’”

As a grammar enthusi-ast – and someone who writes upward of a dozen news articles a day where the gender of a subject isn’t always known – I

think it’s great. And, you know, at least it’s not an emoji.

This is a great choice for a host of reasons,

Palace of the Winds

Travel

Commentary by Don Knebel

Jaipur, in northwest India, is known today as the “Pink City.” Ironically, its most famous

pink structure was designed in service of modesty.

Jaipur was a planned city, constructed between 1727 and 1733 by Maha-raja Sawai Jai Singh II, who became ruler of India’s Amber Kingdom at age 11. Unlike earlier Indian cities, Jaipur’s streets were laid out on a grid. The city, which became the capital of Jai Singh’s kingdom, was originally surrounded by a wall entered through one of seven gates.

In the eighteenth century, Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Jai Singh, faced a dilemma. The ladies of his large harem were prohibited from being seen in public, at least without their faces covered. But they begged to be allowed to observe the festivities on the colorful street near the palace. In 1799, Pratap Singh found a solution. He erected a 50-foot-high screen of red and pink sandstone adjacent the palace. The baroque façade of the screen, containing 953 windows, suppos-

edly suggests the peacock feathers of the crown of Krishna, a popular Hindu deity. A honeycomb of rooms behind the small win-dows allows members of the harem to sit or stand unseen while gazing toward the street below. The upper three stories are just one room deep, while the two lower stories open onto courtyards. Ramps connect the five lev-els. The design and placement of the protrud-ing windows facilitate the flow of cooling air throughout the structure, giving it the name “Hawa Mahal,” the “Palace of the Winds.”

Jaipur has been known as the Pink City since 1876, when English Prince Edward (later King Edward VII) made an official visit. In ad-vance of his arrival, city officials emulated the famous Palace of the Winds by painting many of the city’s stucco buildings pink.
