Protecting their futureCarmel police department

offers summer camp to teens interested in law enforcement

Story and photos by Brandon Bowman

Carmel Police Offi cer Scott Spillman has just executed a church steeple takedown on a brown-haired male about 5 feet tall. Holding the

perpetrator’s palms up to the sky and his feet crossed, Offi cer Spillman applies pressure on his back to make sure the perp’s movement is limited while he reaches for his handcuffs.

The rest of the kids who signed up for the Carmel Police Teen Academy watch intently until Offi cer Spillman gives them the OK to try the move on their partners. “I’m really interested in police stuff and I’ve been to camps in the past. I also know some of the cops,” Mallory Kuersteiner, 15, said. Learning a church steeple takedown is only the start of the Carmel Police Teen Academy.

Sgt. Nancy Zellers has been working with teens at this camp since it started a year ago. The kids involved go through physical training in the morning before sitting in a classroom to receive information about how the Carmel Police Department works. They are taught how the police conduct searches of areas and execute traffi c stops.

“What we’re trying to do is develop an open dialogue so that we can gain some friendships between these kids,” Sgt. Zellers said.

Phil Hobson is the school resources offi cer at Carmel High School. Hobson understands that these teens will grow up and one day and have to deal with the pressures of alcohol. Hobson tells the class that “I know that you guys would never drink and drive, but I don’t know what you would say after you have a couple drinks in you.”

Hobson shows a movie about alcohol-related accidents and the medical steps taken to save the victims’ lives. “We really want to mentor these kids when they get older. I especially want them to feel comfortable coming to me with information or problems they might be having in the high school,” Hobson said. To Hobson, the kids are the fi rst line of defense against illegal activity in the high school. The classroom sessions have hands-on activities for the teens. Hobson presents goggles that represent someone with an alcohol level of 0.20. Two volunteers are taken and given the fi eld sobriety test.

“It was kinda hard to catch a ball and walk in a straight line with the goggles on,”

Kuersteiner said. Kuersteiner’s goggles were set for the day time. Another set of goggles was available for what a 0.20 blood alcohol level would feel like at night.

After being unable to walk in a straight line, it’s obvious that functioning is hard when you have been drinking. Later in the day, the teens line up and have a tricycle race with the goggles on to re-enforce the message and have a bit of a laugh at the sight of errant drivers.

The K-9 unit also teaches at the Teen Academy. A representative of the unit informs the teens of how the dogs operate. Then a demonstration of how the dogs search lockers is conducted. An offi cer hides a box full of narcotics that the dog is trained to sniff out. The dog is kept distracted until ordered to search the lockers, where it stops directly in front of the one holding the narcotics. A bite demonstration is also held to illustrate how dogs of the Carmel Police Department subdue criminals.

When these demonstrations are over, the teens are dismissed and told where to go next without having to follow an adult leader.

Before any of the offi cers arrive in the room the teens assemble into straight lines. With hands down to their sides and eyes fi xed towards the front, the offi cers begin to circle around and make sure heads are held high and chests are out. Every question is answered with a “yes sir” or a “no sir.”

Discipline is an important factor in the camp. If a member of the group is holding everyone behind during physical fi tness he or she is assumed to take responsibility for it. Sometimes the punishment is more physical training, but character building is paramount with the Teen Academy.

INTERESTED IN CARMEL POLICE TEEN ACADEMY? NEXT SESSION IS IN JULY

The Carmel Police Teen Academy is for anyone 13 or older. If you want to be

a cop or just want to understand what they do, the Teen Academy is available

from The Carmel Police Department.

The next Teen Academy will be July 9-13 and spaces are still available.

To receive more information, call Sgt. Nancy Zellers at 571.2551.

VIEWS

OUR TAKESBenefits of The Arts

It is our position that Carmel’s investment in the arts is not only good for the soul, it is also good for the wallet. Recently, the Indiana Arts Commission completed a study showing that there are nearly 50,000 Hoosiers employed full time in the arts industry. This makes the arts a major player in providing jobs and paying mortgages in our fine state. Carmel’s proclamation several years ago that it views the arts as a central component of any stable, developing and thriving community imagined little in its ability to create opportunity for our citizens.

As it turns out, this approach is not

only prudent as a mechanism to encourage investment by large corporate citizens (whose many non-Indiana employees are enamored with our cultural advantages — if disappointed

by our lack of scenery) but also a way to foster opportunity for and

investment by small businesses. While arts investment traditionally has been framed as a quality of life venture, studies are now showing that

the investment also is one in economic development. Our soon-

to-be built Performing Arts Center will no doubt play a central role in attracting arts investment and jobs to our community. To that, we look forward with anticipation.

It is our position that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission (CRC) should be commended for its responsiveness to the needs of local small business. This paper wrote last week about the consternation regarding the dearth of a signage package for the newly constructed PedCor property, the Old Town Shops, at the corner of Main and Range Line.

We encouraged business owners who were concerned about signage (or lack of signage) in the Arts and Design District to attend the CRC public meeting a week ago, and turn out they did.

CRC President Ron Carter received a signage proposal on Saturday, made the

rounds to the Old Town Shops businesses on Monday and Tuesday to obtain feedback and made room for presenters on Tuesday night’s agenda. The ensuing dialogue was energetic, vibrant and spirited – much like the renovations occurring in Old Town. While the overall response to the proposal was very positive, a few issues such as grandfathering and sign flexibility were raised and addressed.

Before calling for a vote of the commissioners at the meeting, Mr. Carter turned to the gallery and queried, “Will this work for you?” Upon unanimous passage, the room erupted in applause.

SFROM THE BACKSHOP

Air travel: all gummed up

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly

ANOTHER TAKE

Terry Anker

Air travelers, rejoice! The Transportation Security Administration has struck down all attempts by carriers of gummy bears to play havoc in the skies. (We couldn’t possibly make this up.)

Steve recently took his 15-year-old daughter, Rachel, to the airport for a long-awaited, fi rst-time-fl ying-“alone” trip to visit her relocated buddy, Morgan. Rach had seen fi t to pack a bazillion gummy bears at the bottom of her carry-on bag. Her traveling companion, Alyssa O’Malia, nearly dropped her teeth when she saw the stash — as did John and Jane Security, working the Let’s-Make-Sure-You’re-Not-A-Terrorist Line.

Out came the blasted confection, Rach gave her dad the ol’ I-Guess-I’m-in-Trouble Fleeting Look (you know the one), and then John and Jane exchanged ultra-stern glances. Jane disappeared with the offending contraband, off to see her supervisor; that’s what good government workers do, especially when – holy crap! – there are gummy bears on the premises. Well, the boss told Jane, “No WAY! Nuh-uh. Not a chance.”

So Rach’s stash was trashed, except for the 16 or 17 bears Jane let her keep in a plastic bag. The key question here is exactly HOW did Jane Security know that the handful of gummy

bears didn’t contain C-4 or some equally powerful, lethal explosive? She didn’t know, because it was a random grab, but Rach got a lot of red ones in there.

This is why your Backshoppers are overly grateful they don’t travel by air for business anymore. We wouldn’t tolerate today’s security nonsense gracefully. Is it necessary? That’s not for us to decide. All we can tell you is it stinks!

Business travelers, you have our pity, but next time you see John and Jane Security, thank them from the bottom of your potentially hollow soles that there will not be gummy bears in excess on your fl ight.

And somewhere, Hans Riegel, who invented the treat in the 1920s, is auguring deeper into his grave.

Go Greyhounds!! My Dad is bigger than your Dad! USA Rules!

All good examples of cheerleading for the home

team. All good examples of identifying one’s commitment to the cause. I have used the op-portunity afforded by this fi ne publication to extol my fondness for our little burg. Carmel is good, say I. I defi nitely buy in. We walk the Monon. We eat at local joints. We shop here. But our loyalties are not exclusive; we also cheer for the Colts, Pacers and Hoosiers.

Win or lose, we applaud and weep for people we don’t know in places that we rarely go. They are our teams. We are their support-ers. We identify with them. And we love them all. Isn’t that the way of things? Isn’t that as it should be?

People who can’t or won’t sup-port the cause bug me. I’m tempt-ed to invite folks who struggle to wave the fl ag on the Fourth of July to pack their bags and move on (dot org or not). People who can’t or won’t see the changes for the better that are happening in Carmel fail to impress.

On Sept. 11th, I counted myself a fl ag-waving zealot. Tears fi lled my eyes. Americans were dying in front of my eyes. This was the home team. On that day, it was easy to self-identify — and to conspicuously support. We raise our children to be loyal and dedicated young men and women. Love and support your family. Love and support your commu-nity. Love and support your country. It is an easy message. And one that I believe in fully.

But of late I’ve been revisiting this topic of loyalty. When is our loyalty blind? Why is it blind? And should it be? How do we question the sanity of chasing the all-seeing, all-know-ing, all-powerful NFL for a Superbowl without

being disloyal to the home team? How do we express our frustration of a particular govern-ment policy without almost necessarily being disloyal to our nation? Does the monster truck guy really need to show his love for the Chevy brand with a cartoon image of a little boy emptying his bladder on a competitor’s logo (and does he have to make me see it while waiting for the light to change)?

History is littered with cautionary tales. Loyalty carried Hitler to the murder of mil-lions. Loyalty will carry many young men to murder themselves and others with bombs

strapped to their chests. Religion. Nationalism. Economics. We blame these horrifi c realities on many things, but the real culprit is a gross distortion of loyalty — extreme commitment to the cause at hand.

To be sure, it strikes me the world needs more loyalty. What could be accomplished without the distraction of naysayers and obstructionists? But the magic is to ensure that our loyalty is not blind. Dedicated — yes. Slow-to-change — yes. Dogmatic — proba-bly not. Hate-fi lled — certainly not.

Tolerate other points of view. Sure. Advo-cate with great zeal for those ideas and institu-tions that have garnered your own loyalty. Of course. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge those times when there really isn’t another valid point of view. At times — cautiously. In short, be loyal — even to the extreme — but never follow (or allow others to follow) blindly.

Advocating blind anything (violence, hate, intolerance) isn’t loyalty to one’s cause. Rather, it is a distortion of something good and can’t be tolerated. People to whom loyalty is blind are not getting it — without regard to whether that loyalty is supporting the home team or the ranting of a dictator.

Bridget began flirting with a MySpace Internet “stranger,” much to the dismay of her best friend, Tom. Bridget made Tom promise not to

tell anyone that she was having this encounter with a boy six years her senior. Bridget was 13.

Tom was uncom-fortable not telling anyone because loy-alty was a major part in their friendship. Bridget began making personal cell calls to her Internet stranger until her mom took away her phone for running up long distance charges. She never asked whom

Bridget was calling or why. Tom asked himself, “Where are the adults when you need them?”

Curiosity has, in my opinion, been a great deterrent to children’s compromising choices. Curious-not-Nosey. Being curious requires us asking questions until our children feel comfortable with their choices. Being nosey simply suggests we want to know what’s going on without wanting to do anything about it.

Tom, meanwhile, watched Bridget sink deeper into dangerous waters.

We need to teach our children how to distinguish between a challenging and a dangerous situation. When something feels wrong, something is wrong. As often as the landscape changes, our gut stays the same. It’s our greatest moral compass.

Parents sometimes believe that because the game (environment) has changed the rules have as well. They haven’t. Tom’s gut told him something was wrong. Bridget’s gut told her something was wrong when her mom took

away her phone. Their confidence in adults would have

soared had her mom been curious, reliev-ing Tom of his dilemma and Bridget of her predicament. We need to pay attention and act unashamedly on behalf of our children’s safety. Our gut lets us know the direction to take in protecting our children from them-selves.

Lesson taught: When your gut says NO-NO but there’s YES-YES in your heart, FOLLOW YOUR GUT!

ITYTHEIR WORKS FOR THE COMMUNITY ARE GOLDEN

Maxiene Rogers took the time to write to me about a group of people

she feels very strongly about. Using pen, envelope and a 41-cent stamp, she put to paper the reasons I should join her the next available Thursday morning at 10 a.m. When a free Thursday finally arrived, I pulled open the door and stepped into a room filled with people I would later come to fully appreciate.

Lining the front of the room at the American Legion Post were bright blue banners with various patches, awards and names of people carefully sewn around the large, prominent words, “We are proud of….” The meeting started with all present rising to their feet and singing “My Country Tis of Thee,” followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and then a prayer of thanksgiving. I was an active participant and welcomed guest at the weekly meeting of the Golden K Kiwanis Club.

Golden is the primary descriptive word to distinguish this particular group from the other two Kiwanis Clubs that call Carmel home. The Golden K Club is made up of mostly seniors and retirees who desire to give back to the community. After about 30 minutes of various introductions to members who were present that day, I realized I had walked into a rich treasure trove of people that have been doing for Carmel long before I knew it even existed.

Every Kiwanian there that day was full of energy and helpful to

me as I tried to understand how they make a difference; especially in the lives of children. Norena Fox was happy to relate the good that came from the Christmas stocking program aimed at the elementary school kids in New Orleans. The brightly colored stockings helped the little ones forget about the storm called Katrina, even if only for a little while.

I met Fred Korbena, who educated me about the benefits of Trauma Dolls for kids in

the hospital heading to surgery. Wayne Ziegler is proud of the fact that the Kiwanians in the golden category physically moved all of the books left over from our library’s book sale to Riley Hospital and also to a charity called Teachers Treasures. The meeting was full of doing and planning and learning and helping.

Maxiene was full of facts and statistics about the club and the history of its mem-bers. She pointed out that the average age of the Golden K Club is in the upper 70s. The phrase, “age is relative” came to mind as I thought about the accomplishments of the supposedly elderly members of our society sitting around the room. We are fortunate that rocking chairs and slowing down are not in the works for this special group. That makes them golden to us.

FUND-RAISER PUTS HABITAT ON TRACK TO BUILD 10 HOMES

For Current In CarmelIt’s hard to imagine that hidden in cozy

Hamilton County are several hundred resi-dents living in tough times.

There are approximately 600 households in Hamilton County with family incomes less than $25,000, making it nearly impossible for them to afford a down payment on a house.

Fortunately, they live in a community where churches “come along side” them and ease their walk. Food pantries are abundant, as are health clinics. While Good Samari-tan Agency coordinates most of the efforts, founder Nancy Chance is always the fi rst to say that the need continues to grow.

Having a job is not the issue. Most are employed and in fact often have more than one job, typically in the service industry. You see them daily and probably can’t hear their desperation.

In an effort to offer a “hand up, not a hand out,” Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County recently hosted its second annual An Evening of Dollars A Feast for the Senses fund-raiser at Bridgewater Country Club. More than 125 guests were entertained and furthered the cause of eliminating substandard housing. The $32,000 raised will help reach home-build-ing goals. The organization hopes to build four homes this year, gradually increasing the number to 10 by 2010.

Hamilton County Habitat has built 47 taste-ful homes and rehabbed 15 and has helped more than 200 people move from inadequate housing.

Irwin Union Bank was a generous sponsor of the event, while Kelli Ball, Susan Follinger and their talented team organized the success-ful event.

Call Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County at 896.9423 to get involved.

MICROSOFT HOPES FAMILIES BUY INTO SERVER

By Gary HubbardHigh speed Internet, home networking

and digital media (music, videos and pictures) have dramatically changed the needs of resi-dential computer users over the past 10 years, and Microsoft is planning to introduce a new product this year to address these needs.

A typical household can easily have three or more computers, with important fi les and media scattered over all three.

File sharing on a peer-to-peer basis has been the norm in home networks, but Microsoft feels the time is right to introduce a product that is more like what businesses have used to manage their networks: a server.

Windows Home Server (WHS) has been under development for a couple of years (codenamed Q or Quattro) with the intent of improving the home networking experience, specifi cally in the areas of sharing fi les, back-ing up everything on the network and access-ing your information from anywhere inside or outside the home (via the Internet).

Server platforms have always been very technical to set up and maintain (and are expensive), so the big task for Microsoft is to make Windows Home Server “family friendly” and cost effective.

Despite the claims that it’s much easier to set up than a traditional Windows Server, the reality is that the average family isn’t inter-

ested in setting up a home server. So it really needs to address the needs of the semi-techni-cal crowd.

WHS will be offered as an appliance (hardware and software ready to plug in) from major computer manufacturers or as software that can be installed on a computer that has at least a 1GHz processor, 512 Mb of RAM, an Ethernet port, a DVD ROM and a basic video card. Once you get it set up, you won’t need to have a keyboard, mouse or monitor plugged in because you can manage the server from any workstation or even remotely (from the offi ce).

Our initial tests with the software have been fairly impressive and we see some real potential, especially for technically challenged households. But we have a long way to go before we see the fi nal version.

Anyone who wants to evaluate the current Release Candidate can download a copy at http://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsHome-Server, but it will only work for 30 days.

Keep your fi ngers crossed as this could be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to getting a handle on your home network!

LES Jim reminded us of

the three phases of life. The first third is spent learning, the middle earning

and the final third … returning. As he rightfully honored his

father, Jack Engledow, at Carmel Rotary Club with a Paul Harris Fel-lowship, it was apparent that most in attendance have blended the phases and also excel in return-ing. Giving back to the community drives most of the astute men and women in the club, as well as a passion for success.

As the hunger for incredible outdoor liv-ing spaces coupled with interior remodeling consumes Carmel, the smart strategy of phas-ing leads this family-inspired charge. Often, it makes sense to install these cool living spaces over a period of seasons, either for budgetary reasons or for a visionary respite, so families can experience the progress and confidently proceed with a clear vision.

After determining a budget and creating a formal design, start with the big stuff or hard surfaces. Often that means a screened porch, lanai or sunroom that opens to a low mainte-nance deck and brick patio gracefully shaded by an overhead cedar pergola with formal columns. Relaxing water features, equipped outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and romantic

night lighting are other staged, luxurious components.

Landscape bed installation follows, then planting larger shade trees and flowering shrubs. Some home-owners feel compelled to participate in the process and experience the joy of planting fra-grant perennials or even spreading the mulch.

Interior projects can be phased, too. Kitchen renovation usually happens first because that’s where guests naturally gather when not enjoying the outdoors. Finally, the bathroom gets a spa-inspired

makeover. “Relaxing at night in this absolutely amaz-

ing space is like being in a private nature sanctuary. It’s adorable with the right trees, the right plants, trickling water and bluestone patio,” said a delighted Amanda Roberts of her phased outdoor escape.

Regardless of the phase, it’s always a good time to return. Stay home. Be moved.

LEGAL BRIEFSBy Douglas Haney, Esq.

ITEM: Protecting Our Citizen SoldiersBACKGROUND: “Citi-

zen Soldiers” have been an essential part of our nation’s armed forces since the Minutemen. Now a call to active duty requires reservists to leave their civilian jobs and put their careers on hold in order to serve their country. Most employers wel-come their citizen soldier employees back. A few do not. The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employ-ment Rights Act (“USERRA”) protects a servicemember’s job rights.RIGHTS: In general, USERRA:• Prohibits discrimination in employ-ment based on an individual’s prior military service, current military obligations or present intent to join the Armed Forces.• Provides re-employment rights to employees absent from work to per-form military duties.• Requires employers to provide “rea-sonable accommodations” to return-ing disabled veterans.• Gives convalescing veterans up to two years to return to their jobs after leaving active duty.

• Requires returning servicemembers to be re-employed in the job they would have attained “but for” their military service. • Requires reasonable efforts be made to “refresh” an employee’s job skills. • Prohibits employers from dis-criminating against individuals for attempting to enforce USERRA rights.• Provides for enforcement by the Departments of Labor and Justice, and by private lawsuit.OBLIGATIONS: Employees must provide their employers with notice of their upcoming military commit-ments. Returning servicemembers must submit their application for re-employment to their civilian employer within 14 and 90 days after they are released from active duty.RESOURCES: See, www.dol.gov; www.esgr.org; www.military.com.

Carmel summer road projectsBy Brandon Bowman

A plan to allow signs at the Old Town Shops was approved June 19 during the monthly meeting of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission.

Signs for businesses operating on the second and third levels will on a street-level board by the entrances of the stairwells.

CRC President Ron Carter says the signs for the upper levels preserve the architecture of the Old Town Shops by keeping the signs from crowding the face of the structure. The street signs will be 7-feet-tall for the businesses on the upper levels.

The plan was approved with a unanimous vote, including an amendment by Rick Sharp

to grandfather the already existing signs on

display at the Old Town Shops.

“I think the street signs look really nice.

They also look like they’ll catch the street

traffi c really well,” said Cherie Piebes of

Artisan Masterpiece. Piebes attended the

meeting, along with six other business owners

in the Old Town Shops.

After the vote, the business owners

applauded the CRC. “I was pleased that

everyone was resolved in one meeting with a

plan that was smartly done,” John Heinzinger

of Artisan Masterpiece said.

I hate to admit it, but I know more about pride than patience or humility.

That’s exactly the reverse of what Christ tells us about living a Godly life.

As our perfect example, Christ is without pride, has unlimited patience and lived on this earth in total humility.

The Bible gives us many objective stan-dards for a faith-based, Godly life:

Abide in Christ. Be humble. Serve the Lord. Have faith. Love one another.

Pride means we are trusting ourself instead of God, and therefore very likely bearing a burden or anxiety — unnecessarily — that Christ’s death has already removed.

Patience means we are trusting the Lord; and truly trusting in the Lord means you’ll never have a problem with pride or fear or doubt because you know that God, not you, is in control and you trust Him totally. (That’s a really tough one.)

Humility means you don’t worry about yourself; you worry only about God’s will.

This is gibberish to a nonbeliever, I realize. Christians — because Christ the perfect God/perfect man is eternally interced-ing with God — believe

God is in control of their individual lives. “God is in control” is an especially tough truth when you or a loved one is hurting. Or even if you’re just impatient.

Pride is the king of sins because we strongly pursue our self interest instead of God’s commands. That’s what hap-pened in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) when Adam and Eve

were tempted to doubt God’s goodness. Impatience is my personal specialty,

because when I see something I want …Uh, good time to bring up humility — what “I want” isn’t important. How can I figure out what God wants?

Reading the Bible, asking God in prayer, and then listening for His voice, is a great place to start.

King of Glory’s motto is “A place to belong. A place to become.” We are happily experiencing both aspects! From the very first visit we were greeted warmly by the members and especially by Pastors Paul and David. We have a choice of services: classic ELCA Lutheran liturgy, Praise, Contemporary and casual. We usually attend the Praise service because the music, sometimes lively and sometimes less, really touches our souls. We attend Pastor Paul’s

study on Romans on Wednesday evenings. Discussions are lively and lead us into reading the Bible more than we ever have. From this study class we joined a small group Bible study. The people in our small group have become our closest friends. We have a great time together. We also reach out to the community through various projects. King of Glory has a great health and wellness program, but what really surprised us is that yoga and pilates classes are offered.

Dear Carmel community:

Every year we, as Americans, celebrate our freedoms on the Fourth of July. Whether we gather as a family for a backyard barbecue, get together with friends, or take a trip to the beach, we all celebrate in one way or another. The people of Carmel have a wonderful tradition of coming together as a community every Fourth of July at CarmelFest.

CarmelFest is a community celebration held annually on July 3 and 4. Live music, games for the kids at the Riley Hospital North Kids’ Zone, food vendors, arts and crafts, and festival-style booths are just a sampling of the activities at CarmelFest. The Fourth of July kicks off with our annual Freedom Run, fol-lowed by the St. Vincent Heart Center Parade, which is packed with bands, fl oats, clowns and more. CarmelFest will be packed with en-tertainment for the entire family, culminating with a performance by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and arguably the best fi reworks display in the Indianapolis area.

I would like to take this opportunity to in-vite each and every member or our great City of Carmel to join us in celebrating our nation’s holiday, CarmelFest style! If you have come

before, then come again. If this is your fi rst time or are new to Carmel, then we welcome you, and we hope you enjoy all the traditions of CarmelFest.

Lastly, I would like to thank each and every person and organization that make CarmelFest a reality. CarmelFest is organized and run by a group of volunteers that dedicates itself to putting on a Fourth of

July celebration of which we all can be proud. Thank you to Mayor Jim Brainard and the City of Carmel, whose support and encouragement are unending. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Carmel, which provides much of the leader-ship to organize and run CarmelFest. Thank you to our community organizations who provide us every type of support imaginable.

Thank you to our corporate sponsors, who, through sponsorships and donations, make CarmelFest fi nancially possible. And last but not least, thank you, citizens of Carmel, for your support year after year.

Without everyone pulling together, this celebration would not be possible.

See you at CarmelFest!

James Delgado,CarmelFest chairman

Father-daughter duo uncoversmedallion, wins ‘beachy’ prize

Current in Carmel

There’s something to be said for persever-ance, and Jack Holding and his 14-year-old daughter, Chloe, can tell you all about it.

The Carmel duo was as persistent as any in the quest to win the 2007 Hunt for the Car-melFest Medallion, and it paid off in a big way. Holding, his daughter and two others of their choice will be heading to TradeWinds Island Resort on St. Petersburg Beach in Florida. It’s the reward for their winning efforts.

Current in Carmel, Clarian North Medical Center, Bardach Awards and CarmelFest 2007 sponsored the communitywide treasure hunt. A clue was posted each day on the Current and Clarian Web sites, and the Holdings fol-lowed their instincts.

Ultimately, the medallion was found in Inlow Park in the westernmost playscape.

“This is excit-ing,” Holding said. “We had a feeling it would be there, and we found it.”

Said Chloe: “We’re going to Florida!”Judging by the number of phone calls and

e-mails to Current, the hunt was a big draw.“We’re thrilled that the community par-

ticipated in a big way,” said Steve Greenberg, Current’s executive vice president. “It was exciting to get the phone calls. All we could tell the callers was, ‘Trust your instincts.’ This is our fi rst contest for the community, and we believe it gave Carmel a shot and CarmelFest perhaps some additional visibility; those were our goals, and we succeeded. We’ll do the Hunt for the Medallion again, and this by no means is the only community-focused contest we have planned.”

Holding, who was “bound and deter-mined” to help get Chloe the trip to Florida, and his daughter will be honored at ap-

proximately 5 p.m. July 3 at the Gazebo during the Barometer

Soup concert, a prelude to The Wright Brothers show at 7 p.m.

By Brandon Bowman The theme for this year’s CarmelFest is “We

the people.” It’s a perfect theme for the July Fourth holiday and also a direct reference to who the organizers of the event have in mind: You.

CarmelFest, which unfolds in Civic Square, has been in the making for a year now. Last August, members of the organizing commit-tee met and discussed 2006’s successes and failures. Then this year’s 300 volunteers got together to bring CarmelFest 2007 into being.

With progress in mind, CarmelFest is offer-ing bigger and better things on July 3 and 4.

“Everyone involved with the parade has really made the parade better than ever,” said Barbara Ellis, who is in charge of the parade. $15,000 has been spent on the St. Vincent Heart Center Parade. “One of the fl oats is the Mayfl ower, and another is representing the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The fl oats have the audience’s entertainment in mind.”

Other sponsors of CarmelFest include the City of Carmel, Brighthouse, Conseco, Current In Carmel and B105.7, which will is sponsoring the fi reworks.

Celebrities are always welcome at a parade, and this year is no exception. The Colts Cheer-leading Squad will be marching, and the 500

Festival Queen will be in the parade. U.S. Rep. Dan Burton’s fi re truck will be rolling in the pa-rade with the man himself not too far behind. Personalities from local television stations will make appearances also.

But the parade is only the tip of the iceberg. CarmelFest will have plenty of music for young and old.

“We have a good mix of music planned for the Teen Stage,” Brian Carriger said. “There will be lots of alternative rock music. Some of the other bands are piano driven music and some more acoustic.”

Carriger is in charge of booking the bands and organizing the Teen Stage. It will feature lo-cal talent from the bands Accidental Fate, Going Now, Yesterday Heroes and Mardelay.

“We’ve had about 150 to 175 kids at the Teen Stage at one time, but the number always fl uctuates,” Carriger said. The Teen Stage is 28 feet by 18 feet and features professional light-ing. The stage is tucked away from the rest of CarmelFest, southwest of the Gazebo.

“A lot of the time you don’t want to be in the mix with your mom and dad. Our stage is a nice place for teens to get away for a while,” Carriger said.

Adult entertainment is also bigger and bet-ter this year. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra will be performing Wednesday for the Carmel-

Fest crowd from the Gazebo at Civic Square. Barometer Soup will open for the Wright Broth-ers on Tuesday.

Booths will be set up around the fountain and the Gazebo. The Market Place, as it is be-ing called, will be art oriented. Clarian North is helping out with the Riley Hospital North Kids Zone. The Kids Zone will offer games and activities for kids and families. Food vendors will be selling a variety of fare.

The highlight for everyone at CarmelFest is undoubtedly the fi reworks.

“The fi reworks presentation we have is arguably the best one in the state,” CarmelFest Chairman James Delgado said. The fi reworks will last 22 minutes and open with a tribute to the women and men in the armed forces stationed overseas. An announcement will be made asking everyone to join and sing the “Star-Spangled Banner.” At the end of the song, a 100-shell mini-fi nale will occur. The show’s fi nale will have 300 shells. The fi reworks will be synchronized with music played on B105.7 and start at 9:45 p.m. on July 4.

With all the excitement of CarmelFest reaching a head, an amazing turnout can be expected as usual. Make sure to mark your calendars for July 3 and 4 and celebrate “we the people” at CarmelFest.

LAUGHS

I used to think I was fairly intelligent. As I once reported, I would have gotten into Mensa, the organization for really brainy people, but on my way to take the qualifying exam I got

lost.I must have a different kind of intelligence,

because the other day I was sitting with my wife and son in the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” and I was pretty much at my wit’s end.

“What in heaven’s name is this movie about?” I asked Brett. “I’m fi nding this very hard to follow.”

“Dad, it’s not your fault. You didn’t see the fi rst two Pirate movies. It’s like taking Spanish III without taking Spanish I or II.”

That made me feel a little better, except that I failed Spanish III, despite a year in an exchange program in Madrid at some place they called a universidad. The fact is I did see the fi rst two installments, “Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Dead Man’s Chest,” but I was still as lost as a sunken treasure. After each movie, I felt like I had ship for brains.

The problem of understanding movies has always plagued me, to use a pirate metaphor. I remember when my son was 6 and we fi rst saw the movie about the green-tinted ogre, Shrek…

“I guess you wouldn’t want to make him angry, huh Brett?” I kidded him.

“Dad, you’re confusing Shrek with the Hulk.”

“You mean, Shrek doesn’t become the Hulk when you tick him off?”

It’s a little humiliating to not understand a movie about pirates. How diffi cult could it be? You have pirates, you have damsels, you have pieces of eight. Those were the good old days. In this movie you have: beating hearts ripped from sailors’ chests, half-dead people who live in the walls of the ship, giant tentacled beasts called Krackens, a sea Goddess named Calypso, about a million land crabs, and pirates from all over the world in a corporate planning meeting. To me, pirates were always

about random pillaging and plundering. The idea they had a marketing strategy has taken a lot of the romance out of this swashbuckling thing.

By the way, how did they all know about this meeting? Did they check their Blackbeardy?

The most common sound during the movie was: AAARRRGH.

This was not the star, Johnny Depp, mimicking a pirate; it was my son’s displeasure at the constant barrage of questions from me as I tried to understand the fi lm. The other sound was SHHHHHHHHHH, which was the

collective request of the people behind me in the theater, mostly adults who I am sure were just as confused as me, but weren’t smart enough to bring a college kid with them to explain things.

So, was anyone else as perplexed about the movie? I went to Rottentomatoes.com, a Web site chock-full of critiques of current fi lms. The very fi rst review of Pirates I read said this:

The movie is a convoluted, ponderous, joyless spectacle whose lack of charm is matched only by its incoherence.

Thank Poseidon. Maybe I’m not so stupid. Or maybe this guy should bring his children to the movies, too.

My wife suggested I should see the movie again if I was still baffl ed. Gee, what a nifty idea. And maybe I’ll take a course this summer in Algebra II, just to clear up those remaining pesky questions that have been dogging me for 45 years.

By the way, I still enjoyed the evening with my family. Despite the confusing plot, a little on-screen blustering and swaggering is always fun.

This weekend all three of us are going to see “Ocean’s 13.” I saw “Oceans 11” and “Oceans 12.” But I’m still a little nervous. I wish I hadn’t missed the fi rst 10.

DREAMS CAN BE SPENDYSOMETIMES, BUT WORTH IT

So there I was, watching a ball game in Minneapolis, when I heard the public address announcer intone:

“Now batting (-ing-ing-ing)… Number Fifty-fi ve (-ive-ive-ive)… Mike (-ike-ike-ike) REDMOND! (-mond!-mond!-mond!)”

Wow.Talk about living the dream. It sounded exactly like the voice that

rang through the ballpark of my imagination, every time I left the on-deck circle to bat for the legendarily bad Brighton Wildcats in the Noble-LaGrange Half-Pint Baseball League, back during the Golden Age of Kidhood. The number was different back then — I was Number Twenty-three (reee-reee-reee) — but other than that, it was exactly the same, right down to the echo (Redmond!-mond!-mond!-mond!”) still ringing through the imaginary cheap seats as I dug in and took a few menacing practice swings with my Rocky Colavito autograph model Louisville Slugger.

What baseball-playing kid didn’t have the same fantasy? Oh, sure, we all imagined ourselves, at times, to be our idols — Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Clay Dalrymple — but who among us didn’t also imagine his own name coming over the public address system? It was right up there with having your own play-by-play announcer (“that’s Redmond on the fast break… he shoots… he scores!”) or your own theme music for when you played cops (mine was a James Bondish, Secret Agent-y twangy guitar thing).

And here it was happening to me for real: My name on the P/A. I must tell you, it’s a strange feeling, to hear your name being called out in a large public space like that … especially when it’s your name, but it’s not you the guy is talking about.

You see, the Mike Redmond (mond… mond… mond) being announced is a catcher for the Minnesota Twins, who is, by all

accounts, a sterling fellow as well as a good baseball player.

“Oh, yah,” said my friend Paul Thoronson, who has one of those great Minnesota accents, the kind you think Garrison Keillor is exaggerating on “A Prairie Home Companion” until you hear one coming out of someone standing near you who has nothing to do with a radio show. Such as Paul.

“Yah,” Paul continued, “he’s a good hitter there, got some good hits yesterday. He’s a good catcher, too, with a good arm. And he calls a pretty good game.”

“Hey,” I said to Paul. (Being Hoosier, I start my sentences with “Hey” instead of

“Yah.”) “Maybe I should get a Twins jersey with ‘Redmond’ on the back.”

“Yah, you could,” said Paul, “but I think they’re kinda spendy.”

(That, by the way, was the exact moment when I fell head over heels for Minnesota. I love a state where people use “spendy” as a

synonym for “expensive.”)Now, I am far from the fi rst person to share

his name with someone famous. I have a great friend named Ginger Rogers, and I know of a doctor named Robert Goulet. They might have heard their names on TV but I doubt they saw their names on the back of a spendy shirt. Which I think I’m going to have to buy, spendy (I’m using that word from now on) though it might be.

I looked him up, and you know, the other Mike Redmond seems like the kind of person it is a pleasure to share a name with. I hope he might think the same. Who knows? Maybe someday he’ll want a shirt with my name on it. I promise it won’t be spendy.

DISPATCHESBEREAVEMENT GROUP CAN HELP: The JCC of Indianapolis will host Hope and Healing: A Monthly Bereavement Support Circle for individuals who have experienced grief and loss. Share coffee and refl ections on living and coping with loss with facilitators Lisa French (Ruth Lilly Clarian Hospice) and Julie Sondhelm (Community Social Worker). Hope and Heal-ing is free and open to the public and will meet from 11 a.m. -12:30 p.m. on the fi rst Monday of the month beginning July 2.

DRINK WATER BEFORE DONATING: Hate needles? Giving blood

can be quicker and less painful if you drink 16 ounces of water about an hour before donating. And bundle

up in a sweatshirt, suggests Kelli Rosenthal,

RN, president and CEO of Re-sourceNurse Continuing Education Inc. Raising body temperature and staying hydrated enlarge vessels, making it easier to fi nd a vein and therefore less traumatic.

— Prevention.com

ALLERGIES BUGGING YOU? Try stinging nettle. In a study by the National College of Naturo-pathic Medicine in Portland, Ore., nettle signifi cantly improved allergy symptoms for 64 percent of patients. It works by build-ing your tolerance to histamine, the chemical your body makes during an allergic reaction. Take two capsules every three to four hours during allergy season. Try Eclectic Institute’s Fresh Freeze-Dried Stinging Nettle ($7.50 for 90 capsules, Vitacost.com).

— Womenshealthmag.com

BEAT THE HEAT:Here are four ways to beat the heat as your exercise outdoors:1. Run on dirt paths instead of sun-absorbing blacktop or stick to the shady side of the street.2. Smear on sunscreen to help lower body temperature, per an Oregon State University study.3. Put petroleum jelly or Runner’s Lube between toes, thighs, and under-arms to help avoid skin-to-skin friction and heat. 4. Wear cooling clothes (breathable, loose fi tting, and light in color) and a brimmed cotton hat to protect your head and face from the sun’s damaging rays.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS IS COMMON PAIN IN THE FOOT

Heel and arch pain drives many patients into the offi ce of Dr. William

Keyes, a Carmel podiatrist. The pain is a common symptom of plantar fasciitis, a strain of the ligament that connects toes to heel bone. When strained, the plantar fascia gets irritated and infl amed where it attaches to the heel bone. The fi rst steps in the morning can be excruciating for someone with plantar fasciitis.

“It’s a very common problem,” Keyes says, fi guring at least 20 percent of his practice is devoted to plantar fasciitis patients. The number spikes in spring and summer, when people rev up exercise programs.

It can happen to “anyone who is on their feet a lot and the weekend warrior,” says Keyes, who has been practicing 33 years. Even an experienced athlete, who suddenly increases his mileage, can develop plantar fasciitis. Or, it can happen to someone who walks or runs barefoot, in fl ip-fl ops or other unsupportive shoes. It can develop in one foot or both feet.

If you suspect plantar fasciitis (pronounced fash-ee-eye-tis), “back off whatever you were

doing” and rest your feet, Keyes says. Also:

• Ice the foot.• Stretch your feet, Achilles

tendons, and calf muscles.• Take an anti-infl ammatory,

such as ibuprofen.• Wear supportive shoes when

you walk, even around the house.If the pain doesn’t go away

within a couple of weeks, you should see a physician or podiatrist. The longer you wait, the sorer your foot gets, and the longer it takes to heal. A nasty case of plantar fasciitis can take several months to a year to heal.

A foot doc can wrap and pad the arch, and prescribe orthotics, which are custom-made shoe inserts that support the arch of the foot. In less than 10 percent of patients, the most severe cases, a steroid injection might be needed to numb the pain, or surgery.

The solution to plantar fasciitis varies with the person, Keyes says. It’s important not to rush the healing process “You’ve got to wait,” he says. “It’s an overuse syndrome.”

Traditional marketing and advertising has historically worked to take your attention from something you are doing — to

interrupt you. Whether you are reading a magazine, driving on the interstate, listening to the radio, or watching television, traditional advertising models offer messages while you are doing something else. They hope their message is compelling (or shocking) enough to make you stop what you are doing and pay attention.

Most advertisers today are just using the Internet as another distribution platform. They are still trying to interrupt their audience instead of leveraging this group.

How do you leverage an audience? It’s actually very straightforward. You ask for their opinion, you engage them, you allow them to shape things and be a part of your brand (company, organization, cause, etc.).

As strange as it might sound to some, the Internet is about relationships — it is a place

of connection. Think about how you develop a relationship face to face. To have a solid relationship, you must fi rst build trust. Trust

is established through common experience and, when you don’t have time for that, through stories that show you are trustworthy.

The Internet has functionality that will allow you to create dialogue with customers. It will also create an environment where you can showcase the real you — the “you” that is just like your customers — the “you” they can connect with and understand.

New media offer a platform where you can be authentic, and authentic behavior can create trust. It is a place where you can distribute information that is easy

to fi nd, easy to understand, easy to act on, and easy to share with others — driving new levels of engagement and trust with your audiences, both consumer and business.

• Strengths: This home has great curb appeal, displays many custom trim details, and utilizes a very

private deck with picturesque views of an adjacent pond. This is one of a handful of maintenance free neigh-borhoods for those who prefer this lifestyle—leave the yard work for someone else. It is in a convenient location for travel within Carmel near Keystone and 126th. • Challenges: Construction south of 126th Street on the 116-acre Gramercy project will continue for a number of years.

And if you feel like roughing it, while still staying strictly within the bounds of beauty, this season’s yield will satisfy all of your chic instincts. Soft straw totes give us the oversized look we want without the weight, and many of them are refi ned by sleek leather borders.

By 2006, the typical American ate 81 meals inside res-taurants but ordered 127 to go,” according to NPD Group.

‘AUTHENTIC’ LEVIS FROM JAPAN: If you want real, authen-tic, American Levi-style jeans, the best place to get them is in Japan, reports Guy Trebay in The New York Times (6/14/07). Yes, a bundle of contradictions. It seems that these days, “authentic” Levi Strauss jeans — the kind that used

to cost $20 back in the day — are being reproduced in Asia by an outfi t called Sugar Cane and start at around $300 a pair. In fact, these Sugar Cane copies are

actually even more authentic than Levi’s own reissues of its original designs: “Only Sugar Cane’s $450 copies of the 1955 Levi’s use origi-nal Scovill zippers bought from dealers in vintage stock.” So true are Sugar Cane’s copies that Levi’s is suing them.

FINISHES ARE MORE THAN SURFACE DEEP

As with most things, deco-rative painting and faux fi nishes are nothing new. When one considers the rich frescoes of Rome, the re-

mains of ancient murals of historic European structures, gold leafi ng and relief work of the late nineteenth century, it becomes apparent that the art has been practiced for hundreds and hundreds of years.

The contemporary faux fi nish industry has evolved from an art form to an industry that has one foot in the arena of traditional painting and the other in inte-rior decorating.

I have to confess that for the past few years, faux fi nish has been on the bottom of my list of design recommendations. The term alone

evoked an image of the spongy-smooshy look that, unfortunately, lived a long and healthy life in the 1990s. Coupled with the stenciled border, the faux fi nish that was being prof-fered by anyone armed with a rag and glaze was a trend that I was happy to see end.

Today we have fi nish technique artists that

produce work in way that closely resembles the work of fi ne historic artists and craftsmen.

There is a new breed on the scene and I like what I am seeing. The new fi nishes really should be termed “artistic fi nishes” to disas-sociate then with the looks of the past decade.

Mark Roger, owner of Art & Texture in the Village of West Clay, agrees. “Gone is the day of faux painters. We are now a studio of local artists who specialize in creating fi nishes

— marbles and stones, metals, plasters as well as traditional decorative painting such as faux and murals,” he said.

Upon touring Roger’s studio, I discovered display boards that looked like aging copper, samples of plaster that appeared to be from an earlier century, and painted bricks that begged to be touched. I saw marbles that looked so real, I expected to touch them and feel the cold of real marble.

Artistic fi nish is not just for the walls any-more. Roger’s studio is known for blending furniture fi nishes customarily found on walls with fi nishes customarily found on furniture. Animal skin fi nish on tables and faux burled wood are just the beginning.

Artistic fi nishes have moved outdoors, as well. Roger, along with the artisans at Art & Texture recently refi nished the exterior trim of a home in turned-copper, giving it a look of age and history.

Roger described the difference in the new art fi nishes: they are rich in dimension. The fi nishes of 2007 are deeper with more and more layers. They are created in a way that draws the observer into the fi nish. I found myself asking, more than once “How did they do that?”

ARTS & DESIGN DISTRICT DRAWS NEW GALLERIESBy Barbara E. Cohen

Evan Lurie, owner of Evan Lurie Fine Art Gallery on Main Street, set to open this fall, has been actively recruiting gallery owners to relocate to the Carmel Arts & Design District on behalf of Mayor Jim Brainard and the city. Several new art gal-leries are scheduled to open this summer, adding to the district’s national reputation.

Damian Heine and Nick Pronesti opened Laguna Gallery at 25 W. Main St. on June 2. With 900 square feet of gallery space devoted to painting and fl oral ar-rangements, they are excited about joining other galleries in Carmel.

“We were impressed with what Evan, the mayor and the city are doing to create a presence for Carmel,” Heine said. “Ultimately, Laguna Gallery hopes to be a des-tination for art and design, along with other galleries in the district, attracting art enthusi-asts from across the Midwest.”

Heine had a gallery in Fort Wayne sev-eral years ago, and he has spent about nine months getting ready for the new venture in Carmel. Offering paintings by West Coast art-ists and painted tropical fl owers, the gallery’s name refl ects its West Coast infl uences.

Also wooed by Lurie, Soori Ardalan is

moving the Soori Gallery from Zionsville to a 3,000-square-foot space in Gunstra’s Monon and Main complex in Carmel.

“I wasn’t really planning to move the gal-lery, but I got a warm invitation from Evan, so I came and looked at the area,” Ardalan said.

“Looking led to the decision to move, and we hope to open in a month or so, as soon as the new space is ready.”

Ardalan’s gallery features fi gural sculpture in bronze, stone, wood, Lucite and acrylic by Michael Wilkinson, Martin Fichinger, Frederick Hart, Angelo Basso, Jerry Joslin, Misha Frid, Tuan and Erte and paintings by the Iranian artist Mahmoud Farshchian.

Other gallery owners are eyeing available

spaces and those under construction as well. Jane During, owner of Massachusetts Avenue’s Kuaba Gallery, is working with Lurie to open a second location for her business.

“If I had found a space I liked, I’d already be planning to open in it,” During said, who

plans another scouting trip to Carmel soon.

Lurie continues to meet with gallery owners within a 200-mile radius of Carmel to invite them to be part of the district.

“Each gallery has a unique look and quality based on each owner’s eye,” Lurie said. “It’s exciting to see the mix, and new spaces like Soori Gallery bring another piece of the puzzle to the table.”

The area’s reputation is grow-ing as each new gallery joins existing ones like Wes Dwyer’s Art and Soul, which opened in January 2007 at Main and Range Line Road.

As Laguna’s Heine expressed it: “We’re not in competition; we’re all working together to give the Arts & Design District credibility on a national level.”
