At its first meeting of 2016, the Hamilton Southeastern Board of School Trustees elected a new slate of officers to lead the board in

the new year.Karen Harmer will replace John DeLucia as

board president while Howard Stevenson will serve as vice president and Sylvia Shepler will serve as secretary.

“I’ve been honored and privi-leged to serve as president for the last two years,” DeLucia said before nominating the slate of Harmer, Stevenson and Shepler. “I’m just really grateful for the tremendous students… Our students and the families and parents that support them are the best. And we couldn’t do any of it without our teach-ers, who are just the best. I’d take them over any set of teachers on the planet. What they’ve done with the resourc-es available is nothing short of

incredible. Our administration is phenomenal and Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff just had his first anniversary and we’re delighted to have him and look forward to his continued leadership.”

DeLucia and Harmer will swap as liaisons to the respective committees on which they serve, with Harmer joining the Mayor’s Roundtable and DeLucia joining the Mental Health and City of Fishers Economic Redevelopment.

take effect in February, with regular meetings moving from the first and third Mondays of the month to the first and third Wednesdays begin-ning with Feb. 10 and 24 meetings.

“That’s a major issue for us,” Bourff said. “Monday board meetings are difficult to plan for and difficult to execute when you’re trying to prepare for all the questions that come over the weekend. Wednesday night board meetings are going to be much better for our staff, and it also will help, if we have a long board meeting, to focus on the next two days to get the debriefing accomplished.”

January’s second meeting will remain on a Monday, Jan. 25.

After a national search for candidates, the board of directors of Conner Prairie announced Jan. 11 they have found the

museum’s next president and CEO.Normal Burns II, of Richmond,

Va., will succeed Ellen Rosenthal as president and CEO beginning Jan. 27. Rosenthal officially retired from the museum’s top position Jan. 4.

Burns has more than 28 years of experience in

various leadership capacities at historical institu-tions. He’s currently the executive director at Maymont, a 100-acre property in Richmond, Va., that includes historical buildings, gardens and animal experiences that draws 500,000 annual visitors.

“At the onset of our search, we established sev-eral critical priorities that the next president and CEO must meet, and we unanimously believe that Norman Burns exceeds those criteria,” Jay Ricker, chairman of Conner Prairie’s board of directors, said. “He considers himself first and foremost a historian and educator and has observed Conner Prairie for years. We look forward to his leadership, expertise and creativity to help guide Conner Prairie’s future.”

Kinetico Quality Water Systems of Indianapo-lis is helping a local veteran by providing softer water in his new

custom home.Noblesville Marine Corporal Zachary

Nelson sustained severe injuries that left him in a wheelchair following a vehicle rollover in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building specially adapted and mortgage-free houses for injured veterans, has gifted Nelson a new home designed with him in mind — from flat floors without obstacles for his wheelchair to pull-down cabinets, a lower stove and countertops and a fully accessible shower.

That shower and the rest of the house’s wa-ter will feature systems donated by Kinetico. With the house’s water supply coming from a private well, a strong odor from manganese

was present. Kinetico staff diagnosed the problem and installed an Elimina-tor system to remove the odor. The company also installed a Premier Series S250 Water Softener to help ease the family’s transition. Kinetico’s unique multi-tank water softener sys-tems are designed to treat the most severe hard water and iron issues.

“Kinetico always takes great pride in giving back to our communities and we are honored to be part of the Homes for Our Troops program,” John Napariu, Kinetico general man-ager, said. “To provide Zach, who is committed to our freedom, with the highest quality of water treatment equipment is truly special.

Community Life Centers participate in Bridal Venue CrawlBy Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

In the tradition of a pub crawl, a new con-cept is coming to the Indianapolis area.

The first Indianapolis Bridal Venue Crawl will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 31 on the east side of Indianapolis. Two Commu-

nity Life Centers, owned by Flanner & Buchan-an, will be among the venues participating. One CLC is in the Geist area at 7855 Cork Rd. and the other at 10612 E. Washington St.

Jennifer Korb, event manager for Flanner & Buchanan, said some larger cities in the South are doing venue crawls where engaged couples can visit multiple spots in one day.

“It’s a different way for brides to get ideas and learn about various venues and what they offer,” Korb said. “We are setting up the ballroom like a reception, but we’re setting up 10 different reception styles or colors, the hot colors for summer and spring. A bride can walk in and she can see a tablescape of 10 dif-ferent hot colors. In a bridal show, you would just go to booths and people would try to sell

you on their product. This way they can actu-ally see your venue and how you do a setup.”

There will also be cake vendors, catering vendors and do-it-yourself booths with ideas on wedding favors and other items.

There will be several door prizes and a grand prize winner will receive a honeymoon vacation from IndyBride2B. Korb said the brides can register at IndyBride2B.com in advance.

The cost is $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

For more, visit indybride2b.com.

David Hofmann has been around police officers for as long as he can remember, and after a career spanning nearly 22 years, he’s been in-

volved in almost every facet of the profession.As of Jan. 1, he’s taken on one

of the few roles he hadn’t yet — he’s now the new chief of the Law-rence Police Dept, and he’s excited to get started.

Hofmann began his career in law enforcement with the Muncie Police Dept. in 1994, but he’s been around the

policing community his entire life.“My dad, for as long as I had been alive, was an (Indianapolis Police Dept.) officer. So

I was always exposed to policing and law enforcement ever since I was an infant,

and even before that, my mom's dad came back from World War II, and he actually climbed through the ranks

and was the chief of police of IPD back in 1967,” Hofmann said. “It's

just always been part of my family tradition I guess. There were always police around when I was growing up. There were always officers around at family functions, on holidays — policing has just always been part of the

fabric of my background.”Police work wasn’t where

Hofmann always thought he’d end up, though. He attended Indi-

ana University to study journalism and telecommunications — and worked in a corporate communica-

tions setting following graduation — but, as he puts it, “I just didn’t like it.”So he applied around and wound up a

rookie officer in Muncie. He joined IPD three years later and spent the past 18 years there in

a collection of different capacities.“I became a field training officer, joined the

dive team, got promoted to sergeant, was a neighborhood resource officer, became a patrol rifle officer, when IPD and Marion County Sheriff's Dept. merged to form one department (Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept.) I was on the steering committee for that and part of that change,” Hof-mann said. “I served a few years in the internal affairs office investigating complaints on officers. I got promoted to the rank of lieutenant five or six

years ago, and I was assigned to an officer wellness unit, which deals with officers who have either personal or professional problems that interfere with their work — officers who get in trouble maybe at work, and we find out there's a divorce going on in their lives or there's some other issue affecting them personally. We try to help them become better officers and get out of trouble.”

Hofmann’s successful work with that wellness unit earned him na-tional attention as departments across the country sought insight as to how IMPD was able to reduce officer discipline. It was also experience he thinks will continue to pay off in his new role as LPD chief.

“When you see the behind-the-scenes look at officers and their lives and what makes them tick, and you can try to help them be better of-ficers, what you have is a better police department and a safer commu-nity,” Hofmann said.

Prior to joining LPD, Hofmann spent the past two years as commander of IMPD’s southwest district — an 83-square-mile area that offered a little bit of everything, from densely populated urban neighborhoods to indus-try and farmland. It was the only district to see a reduction in violent and property crimes in 2015, and Hofmann’s experience there made him an attractive option for new Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier.

“As anybody will tell you that's had a chance to meet him, he's a home run. He's got skills that are hard to find,” Collier said. “He's got some great ideas, and I think we've only seen the very tip of the iceberg with what a difference Dave will make with our department. We have a great department of police officers, so we don't need fixes there, it's just a matter of how Dave will run it, and I'm looking forward to working with him.”

Hofmann said hearing Collier’s vision and goal for Lawrence is what made him think he’d be a good fit for LPD.

“I'm really grateful that the mayor and his transition team saw fit to choose me, an outsider — sort of,” Hofmann said. “I say sort of because I wasn't a member of LPD when I got hired, but in another respect I'm not an outsider because I've lived in Lawrence for almost 19 years since we moved here from Muncie.”

And while Hofmann may still be adjusting to his new role following his move to LPD from IMPD, his professional goals remain improving public safety and making people feel safe.

“There are some new forms and the day-to-day routine is a little differ-ent, but it's all policing,” he said. “Even though this Lawrence patch and badge look different than the other patch and badge I used to wear, our mission is the same — and the lights are still red and blue.”

COMMUNITY

Born and raised: Southeast side of IndianapolisEducation: Franklin Central High School and Indiana UniversityLife in Lawrence: Moved to Lawrence in 1997 — “We could have lived any-where within Marion County, and we chose Lawrence,” Hofmann said. “It’s a clean, safe community. We’ve loved it here.”Family: Wife of 22 years, Jennifer; 18-year-old son, Tyler, and 15-year-old daughter, Anne, who both attend Lawrence North — “I think we’re a very typical, average Lawrence-area family,” Hofmann said. “We’re community minded, we’re family oriented and we’ve chosen this area to raise our fam-ily and to get the best out of this community.”

Good enough

Whose story‘rings’ truest?

A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

– Mark Twain

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

Commentary by Terry Anker

When is good enough, well, good enough? Every one of us holds an internal standard that allows us to call an assigned task complete. Some will obsess over every detail to a point of absurdity well beyond any hoped for return on the effort. Others will walk away with the job better de-scribed as half-started than as half-done. Is there a benchmark that we can identify to measure a duty finished?

Some of us come to know the principle outlined in software development (I’d argue that it applies to almost any start-up orga-nization or nascent product) that the work is done when a consumer market decides enough value is created by the invention in its currently “incomplete” form to justify its cost and to therefore buy it. To continue to expend resources that do not increase the value to the customer in proportion to the required increase in price is bad business. It seems simple enough.

Yet in our personal lives, so many of us obsess over the minutia of our daily

routines, ever mired in detail and “improve-ments” that could scarcely show a return in the quality of living were we to be around in 1,000 years. Don’t misunderstand. Excellence matters. We exist in a competi-tive world with an ever increasing interpre-tation of perfection. But, are we deploying our attentions to the specifics that matter to those that we care about around us? Or, are we indulging in our own vanity in assuming that “our” perfection will suit anyone else?

It is a thorny challenge. Seeking distinc-tion through hard-work and innovation is virtuous. We should celebrate it. But also, knowing when to stop expending resourc-es on something that is ostensibly as good as it is going to get, likewise, is virtuous. The trick is to reconcile the two.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Get your mooches up, people! Football may be winding down but competitive dance

is just getting started. Woot, woot! Yes, it’s true. I’ve reached the point in every dance mom’s

life where she actually looks forward to the dressing room drama, the bedazzled bootie shorts and the crazy cacophony of hundreds of tween-agers yelling “Nail it, Kaylie!”

How did this happen? Believe me, I ask myself this question daily. I’m not particu-larly girly, nor did I grow up in this world of jazz hands and faux Kardashian lashes. I’d always dreamed of watching my kids from the basketball stands or natatorium seats, or even the frozen tundra of soccer side-lines. Never, at least up until three years ago, had I imagined I’d be packing Dream Duffels full of sequenced costumes and make-up remover, fishnet tights and bun makers and heading off to local hotels for 36-48 hours of dance competition. And hap-pily, I might add.

In truth, my first year of wading through contemporary marshland with my young-est daughter was almost my last. The time, the money, the stupid judges . . . and all for watching my precious little angel on stage for maybe seven minutes, total. I could barely handle it. But she clearly has a passion for this, and I could easily see that behind the occasional tears and forgotten bling earrings, she was learning grace and confidence and how to persevere under pressure. Big stuff for an 11-year-old.

And I’ve improved, too, especially in the coping arena. I’ve learned how to squash my sometimes critical but always competi-tive nature and focus instead on how much fun she is having and the wonderful friend-ships she is making. I also know that, with the right attitude, a good book and a pair of high-quality ear plugs, the weekends can be rather pleasurable.

So get ready for some unbelievable tales of tacky parenting and outrageous toddlers, my friends, for rarely does a dance season disappoint. And you can count on me to deliv-er the juice freshly squeezed as I dive head-first into the crazy. Can’t wait! Peace out.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it stuck us that there are true, over-the-top romantics in our midst. By that, we mean gents that do more than the old get-down-on-one-knee deal to beg/propose. (We do that simply to get the TV remotes from our spouses, by the way.) Some guys really go all out, expand the boundaries of creativity and really stretch to propose to what they hope will be their bride-to-be. And so in recognition of those that really know how to push the envelope in this category, we’ve created The Most Romantic Marriage Proposal contest. Ev-ery couple has a unique story, as no two are alike, but we (and our readers) want to know what over-the-moon proposal you offered or, in the case of a bride, was presented to you. The grand-prize winner, as determined by online voting Jan. 27 through Feb. 1 at www.youarecurrent.com, will be awarded a John Hardy limited edition, pink-sapphire bracelet, courtesy of Moyer Fine Jewelers. The first run-ner-up will have dinner for two on the house at Prime 47-Carmel, and the second runner-up will win a $100 gift card from Kroger of Carmel to use on flowers, chocolates or, perhaps, ingredients for a romantic, home-cooked meal. (Thank you, sincerely, sponsors!) All submis-sions will be posted, and then we’ll let our readers decide who wins what. Send your story to our editorial director, Sophie Pappas, at [email protected]. The winners and their respective entries will be announced and published in the Feb. 9 edition of Current. We’re eagerly anticipating the submissions to see who really has the corner on creativity.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Mike and Glenda Carmichael of Alexandria, Ind., have been married a long time, but they

still have a ball. In fact, they’ve had this ball for nearly 40 years. A paintball, that is.

It all started in 1977, when Mike and his 3-year-old son, Michael Jr., painted a baseball that was sitting on a shelf in their garage. Mike thought it would be a fun pastime for his family to continually repaint the ball to see just how big it could get. Fast-forward four decades and almost (key word: almost) 25,000 coats of paint later, and we now have a 4,500-pound sphere of paint, so big it sits (hangs, really) in a nearby barn. Yikes! And there is no end (or circumference) in sight.

When I first covered this story on TV back in the ’90s, Mike’s venture was a mere roadside oddity: now everything has snow-balled, er … paint-balled. Since then, Mike has been featured on numerous national travel shows, “CBS This Morning,” and a page in “Rip-ley’s Believe It or Not.” And, of course, in “Guin-ness World Records.” 

Mike keeps a record of the color in each

layer (there are 20 choices) and the name of each person who painted it. “Sometimes an entire family wants to paint the ball,” says Mike. “It’s cheaper than a day at Disney World.” Mike’s wife, Glenda, is responsible for more than 8,000 paint coats, a feat for which she is openly proud. “It’s more fun than vacuum-ing, and you feel like you have accomplished something.” You have?

To paint the ball, Mike asks that you make an appointment, but he has welcomed a few unannounced visitors. “It’s hard to turn down someone who’s travelled hundreds of miles just to get a photo of themselves painting the ball.”

On Saturday morning, Jan. 23. on WISH-TV’s “Daybreak,” I will be painting the 25,000th coat. How interesting will that be? About as interesting as watching paint dry.

This performance comes with a warning: this is not your normal Actors Theatre of Indi-

ana fare.“We’re known for more uplifting

and light-hearted shows,” said Don Farrell, one of the ATI founders, along with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. “People walk away with a little tap in their step.”

That’s not likely to be the case with “Swee-ney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

“This one has very mature themes. It could be even considered an R-rated show,” Farrell said. 

No nudity, Farrell assured, but it is the tale of a murderous barber bent on revenge.

“It’s a musical thriller,” Farrell said. “Stephen Sondheim has to be one of the most brilliant writers, really ever.”

Farrell will play the title character.“It’s a dream role for almost every male ac-

tor,” Farrell said. “If you ask actors, ‘What are your dream roles?’ nine times out of 10, Swee-ney Todd will be listed among those roles for any actor on the musical theater stage.”

Farrell previously performed in “Sweeney Todd” twice before as Anthony Hope in two other productions.

“‘Sweeney Todd’ is very rich with layers and layers of subplots,” Farrell said. “You could make an entire college course just analyzing this musical.”

Collins, who will play the beggar woman, is also major Sondheim fan. 

“Sondheim is probably one of the most bril-liant composers of the 20th and 21st century,” Collins said. “His shows are extremely difficult and complex and a challenge. For an actor, it’s wonderful to do a Sondheim show because of the challenge and the great satisfaction of getting over those hurdles.

“I can’t emphasize enough how special it

ATI breaks from normal fare by presenting ‘Sweeney Todd’

The cast during a recent rehearsal. From left, John Collins, John Vessel, Don Farrell, Craig Underwood, Rory Shivers-Brimm, and Paul Nicely. (Submitted photo)is for actor to do a Sondheim show. You don’t see a lot of Sondheim shows around here be-cause his work is so complex and so difficult that some theater companies don’t want to do it; they don’t think the audiences will un-derstand it. ‘Sweeney Todd’ is in the top five of the greatest musicals ever written.”

This is Richard J Roberts’ fourth time direct-ing a show with ATI. He previously directed “My Fair Lady,”  “The 39 Steps” and “The Musi-cal of Musicals.”

“It’s definitely a challenging and compli-cated show and one that doesn’t get done very often for that reason,” Roberts said. “The fact that we’re doing it with a small cast of 11 is part of that challenge. Sondheim music is more complicated than average music. It’s also more beautiful and exciting than the av-

erage music.”Roberts is confident the talented cast will

pull it off.“They’ve put a lot of work in on their own,

so they arrived the first day of rehearsal re-ally well prepared,” Roberts said. “We have some really talented high school kids. That’s one of the things that I’m most excited about. When they first contacted me about directing the show, I said I wanted to have actual kids playing the kids, which people don’t normally do. We found these amazingly talented high school kids. So I’m really thrilled they are part of the show.”

The three high school students appearing in the show are Franklin Community junior Caleb Wertz (Tobias Ragg), Crawfordsville senior  Elizabeth Hutson (Johanna) and Herron junior

John Collins (Anthony Hope). Fitzgerald plays Mrs. Lovett.

Johnna Tavianini, an assistant professor of musical theatre voice at Ball State University, will provide the musical direction.

“She has taken a score that is usually done with a 20-person orchestra and scaled it down to five,” Farrell said.

Where: The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts, Carmel.When: Jan. 29 to Feb. 14. Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Discounted ticket rate of $25 on Wednesdays.Tickets: Visit atistage.org.

In honor of Indiana’s Bicentennial, this year’s “Valentine’s” exhibit features works that depict what artists love about the Hoosier state. The Hoosier Heart-Land exhibit is meant to serve as a visual love letter to our state, commemorating the people, places and things that make Indiana what it is today.

Green Chile Chicken EnchiladasCommentary by Ceci Martinez

This past Christmas, we celebrated the holidays with all my family at the Iberostar Quetzal resort near Cancun, Mexico. Fantastic trip and for sure our favorite travel memory of 2015! A highlight was the food. We were in food heaven. Not only was it delicious to the palate, but dishes were works of art. I am sharing a dish that recreates those special memories from our recent trip. Note: You can assemble enchiladas ahead of time, refriger-ate or freeze (up to a month).

Serves: 5 (makes 10) / Time: 50 minutesIngredients: 10 oz. diced green chiles

roasted, such as Hatch or Anaheim, 1 tablespoon butter, 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided, 10 corn tortillas (6 1/2 to 8 in. wide), 2 cups coarsely shredded Monterey jack, divided, 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken, sour cream

Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Heat oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in cilantro, chiles, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes to mix flavors. Add 1 1/4 cups broth and simmer until reduced by one-

third, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare tortillas: In a small frying pan, bring 1 1/2 cups

broth to a gentle simmer. Working with one at a time, briefly dip tortillas

into broth to barely soften. Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet. Do not overlap or tortillas will stick. Divide 1

1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shred-

ded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam side down to baking dish. Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

TOTS to present ‘Skylight’

TheaTer

Bill Simmons (who plays Tom), Sarah McGee (who plays Kyra) and Tyler Ostrander (who plays Edward) will be on stage in “Skylight.” (Submit-ted photo)

By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

The decision to present “Skylight” was easy for Theatre on the Square Artistic Director Lori

Raffel.“Theatre on the Square

chose ‘Skylight’ for one reason: Bill Simmons,” Raffel said. “I have watched Bill on stage in Indy theatre for years and worked with him at the Phoenix Theatre. He is a treasure, and the opportunity to work with him was just too wonderful to pass up. He brought with him Gari Williams to direct, and that clinched the deal.”

Simmons performed at TOTS for several years, then moved on to Phoenix Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre and others.

The play will run on weekends from Jan. 22 to Feb. 13 at the Christel DeHaan Main Stage. “Skylight,” written by top British playwright David Hare, won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Other cast members include Sarah McGee and Tyler Ostrander. McGee, who lives in Carmel, is making her TOTS debut. Raffel is a board member of Carmel Community Players and has directed there for nearly 10 years. McGee has been in several productions that Raffel directed at CCP at Clay Terrace.

The plot revolves around Kyra Hollis (Mc-Gee) receiving two unexpected visitors at her London home: first the boy she used to nanny (Ostrander), then from his father and her ex-lover, Tom Sergeant (Simmons), a successful restaurateur whose wife has recently died. The two attempt to rekindle their once pas-sionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

“I hope that people take away from this play that even when the circumstances are stacked against you, there can be second chances for all of us,” Raffel said.

Blueprint for Improvement: New outdoor living space with fireplace

Background Info: Built in 1991, this home is located in the Windemere subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived there for four years but their home lacked the outdoor space they desired.

The goal was to achieve a space large enough for the whole family to enjoy year round.

1. A new, larger deck was added and created a space that was more fea-sible for entertainment and family enjoyment.

2. A roof was built over the new deck to protect the space from the weather. The new roof needed to appear as part of the original design of the home.

3. The new addition needed to allow am-ple natural lighting into the home with-out obstructing the backyard views.

4. A fireplace was added to allow the space to be enjoyed on cool evenings or winter months.

5. New outdoor furniture, wood ceiling, and a TV above the fireplace finished the look and created a very homey feel.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at [email protected]. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

afTer sOlUTIONs:

BefOre prOBleMs:

The current outdoor living area consisted of an exposed deck that offered no protection from the weather. The homeowners wanted to enjoy the outdoors all year without having to worry about the weather. They desired a larger area that would bring the inside out and create a more enjoyable space the whole family could enjoy.
