Council approves new bonds By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a failed attempt by some councilors to decrease the total amount of debt, the Carmel City Council voted Jan. city council 18 to approve more than $200 million in bonds to pay for various infrastructure projects, mostly new roundabouts and storm-water improvements. All project costs are preliminary estimates. Councilors reiterated that costs could exceed these estimates, which is why the bonds are set at $2 million each, more than the individual projects are expected to cost. If projects end up costing more than $2 million, they could be scaled down or other revenue sources could be found,. Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider twice asked for some borrowing to be scaled back. He said he believes the city can afford this new debt but wanted the council to slow down a bit because he’s concerned another recession could hit, similar to 2008. He said he wants to wait and see what will happen with the U.S. economy, especially given the upcoming presidential election. The city voted 6-1 to approve $160 million in

county option income tax, or COIT, bonds for projects totaling $144.5 million. Councilor Carol Schleif voted in opposition. These projects include the 96th Street and Keystone Parkway interchange, land acquisition for redevelopment, landscaping for existing roundabouts and Monon Trail reconstruction. These COIT bond projects will be handled by the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. Rider suggested cutting approximately $30 million from these projects. “There are multiple reasons I wouldn’t mind seeing this trimmed a bit,” Rider said, “but I want to emphasize that we can afford this. This isn’t a scare tactic.” He said he supports the projects and said the council could always approve more bonds at a later date. “Do we have to do all of this now?” Rider asked. “I know interest rates are going to go up, but not by much.” Rider proposed an amendment to reduce the amount by $30 million, but it died 3-4 with Schleif and Councilor Laura Campbell joining him. He then suggested a $15 million reduction, but the vote was identical. Despite his failed attempt at reductions, Rider ended up voting for the projects.

Council eliminates trash-opt out By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a 5-2 vote by the Carmel City Council, every resident in Carmenvironment el will have to use the same trash removal service and won’t have the ability to opt-out. Currently, the city’s contract is with Republic Services, but many residents spoke at the Jan. 18 council meeting in favor of another provider, Ray’s Trash. The change won’t go into effect until 2017, and it’s possible Ray’s could win the next fiveyear contract, which would be decided before the elimination of the opt-out goes into effect. Councilors Carol Schleif and Laura Campbell voted in opposition after residents spoke against the change for more than an hour. Jan Douglas, a resident of Brookshire Village, said she doesn’t like Republic’s bigger trash cans. She said she’s concerned about seniors not managing the totes. “One size rarely fits all. Republic doesn’t fit our neighborhood,” she said. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the move will save residents’ money and also reduce wear and tear on the roads with fewer trucks. He said one garbage truck can equal 5,500 vehicles on the roads.

“The buying power for one hundred percent of our community as opposed to 90 percent of the community means we can get a better rate,” Brainard said. “We will save people money.” Carmel residents who use the city trash service provided by Republic pay $9.90 per month. Sue Maki, Carmel’s manager of environmental initiatives and education, said when the last bid for service went out, Ray’s would have charged $14.68 per month. Several residents emailed Current in Carmel with figures claiming to pay less than $9 a month with Ray’s. Maki said it’s possible that some residents pay lower rates with Ray’s but that Ray’s didn’t offer those rates citywide when it came to bid for the contract. Councilor Jeff Worrell said he understands that one out of 10 people choose Ray’s instead of Republic, but he believes he has to listen to facts and not emotion. “I believe it’s what’s best for the majority of the citizens of Carmel,” he said. “And I apologize to those that are disappointed.” Maki said it’s possible that Ray’s could win the contract next time if they meet the bid requirements, which are to meet the city’s stated service guidelines at the lowest price.

This week, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and the newly elected city council – comprised mostly of the mayor’s government supporters – took swift action at its first meeting of the year. They voted to change the rules so the city could remove a stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Drive — the target of much ire from some residents. Less than 12 hours later, the stop sign was removed. Some see the move as symbolic because the supportive relationship between the mayor and the newly elected council is likely to mean less roadblocks for the mayor and his supporters. During the previous four years, Brainard often butted heads with four of the seven members of the city council, which led to some defeated bills and slow-moving legislation. Three of those councilors are no longer in office, having lost elections and the fourth — Carol Schleif of the southwest district — is often in agreement with the mayor. Rick Sharp, who just left office as city council president after losing his bid for mayor, said he believes the new council will discourage public input on issues. He pointed

out that several public hearings were held on Jan. 4 and that the public hearings were closed instead of kept open. As a result, no member of the public could speak about these proposed bonds during the blue card section of the next city council meeting. The bonds totalled $242 million. Sharp also said he believes the debt was broken up into several bonds, each less than $2 million, because any bond more than $2 million is subject to a possible petition from the public which would force a public referendum on the debt. The council also changed the rules so ordinances can now be voted on after first reading with only a two-thirds vote of the council. Previously it had to be unanimous. Council President Ron Carter said he describes the new system as “efficient,” not “fast.” He said the previous council often wasted time arguing when there were ways to find a compromise and work together. Councilor Sue Finkam told Current she believes there’s an effort for more transparency. She said many people don’t attend committee meetings — which are open to the public — so she would prefer more business is done at council meetings instead of at committee, which aren’t recorded and posted online.

Factfinder sides with district By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com For the third time in four years, Carmel Clay Schools and the union representing its teachers could not work out a education contract deal on their own, and for the third time in as many years, a state-appointed factfinder has selected the district’s offer as the collective bargaining agreement moving forward. “It is the conclusion of the Factfinder that the (Carmel Clay Educators Association) Proposal does not serve the interests of Carmel Clay students and is inconsistent with applicable law,” states the Factfinder’s report. The two parties had reached a tentative agreement that would have given teachers a 2 percent raise, but CCEA, which represents the teachers, did not ratify it. This led to both sides submitting Last Best Offers at a fact-finding hearing Dec. 11, and by the end of the year, the Factfinder named the district’s proposal as the new collective bargaining agreement for the 2015-16 school year. CCEA has 30 days to file an appeal. The district’s Last Best Offer included a .5 percent pay raise for teachers. The district had planned to use its cash balances to help pay for 2 percent pay increases in the Tentative Agreement but was prohibited by state law from using these funds once the process reached the fact-finding stage. “The school district had to reduce the amount it offered during bargaining by approximately $835,000,” said Hudnall Pfeiffer, an attorney for CCS, adding it equated to approximately $902 less pay per teacher. CCEA President Brian Lyday said because CCS is receiving approximately 5 percent more in revenues for the 2015-16 school year, expenses – including teacher pay – should also increase 5 percent. Instead, teachers with the most experience are only getting a .75 percent raise from last year because a one-

time stipend they received in 2014-15 was not included in the equation. “Here you have teachers who have been committed to the district 18 years or more who are getting the least of anyone,” Lyday said. State factfinding outcomes Bargaining year

Mohawk Trails seeking donations, sponsors for carnival By Amanda Foust news@currentincarmel.com Traditional school fundraising is a necessary – but sometimes stressful – process for all involved. education Instead of asking students to make sales, Mohawk Trails Elementary is seeking to make fundraising an enjoyable and memorable experience through its annual spring carnival. The event, organized by a PTO group called POW WOW, is a longstanding Mohawk tradition. “The fundraiser really generates additional funds for the school beyond the very strict budget the schools are given,” said Cassandra Stevning, POW WOW chairperson. POW WOW is seeking sponsorships and donations to support the event, which will include carnival games, photo booths, face painting, a soda-pop toss and prizes, as well as a silent auction. Organizers are searching

for auction items now. “We are looking for gift cards, experiences, merchandise from stores, vacations, really any kind of donation that people would want to bid on,” Stevning said. Corporate sponsorships are being sought for food and carnival games. Sponsors will have their company name listed on event signage and the PTO website, Stevning said. Last year, the carnival helped MTE purchase iPads for each of the grades. This year, a large portion of the funds are set to go toward the MTE makerspace developed Dec. 1. “It is a space for students to come together to create with technology,” Stevning said. The carnival is set for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 15. Tickets are expected to be available around the beginning of March. Corporate sponsorships or silent auction donation inquiries should be emailed to PTO president Catherine Gahl at catherine.gahl@gmail.com or Cassandra Stevning at cstevning@gmail.com.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: PROPERTY DIVISION In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. Indiana law follows the “one-pot” theory for the division of marital property, which presumes all marital property is put into one pot and that a fifty-fifty (50/50) division of all marital assets and liabilities is presumed to be fair and reasonable. However, there are various factors Courts consider in determining whether or not a deviation from the equal division is warranted, including: the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property; the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property; the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; and the earning ability of the parties. Thus, while an equal division is presumed, one party can request more than fifty percent of the marital estate. What is Marital Property? It is important for parties to understand what is considered marital property as many people believe certain assets or accounts remain separate from the estate. This is incorrect per the current case law. Absent a prenuptial agreement, excluding certain property from becoming part of the marital estate, Indiana law presumes that all assets and debt brought into or acquired during the marriage is marital property and is subject to division by the Court. With that starting point, careful review of the facts and understanding of the law can allow for a persuasive argument that certain property or liabilities should be allotted to one party in the division of the estate as a

deviation. Such a determination is very contextual and seeking legal advice is recommended to determine if such a request is supported by the facts of a given case. Each case is unique and the decision to order an unequal division of property is left to the discretion of the Court. Further, it is important to note that property which is acquired after the date of the filing of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage may be considered property which is separate from the marital estate; however, this is not always true, so, again, proper evaluation of the marital estate is crucial to understand options and maximize results. Agreed division of the marital estate requires the work of the parties and counsel to reach equitable results. A preferable option to arguing division before the court is to come to terms via negotiation and/or mediation on a settlement that reflects the nature of the marital estate, the needs of the parties, and allows for a result that has benefits for both sides. In addition, this analysis best incorporates advice from financial planners to determine a division which will have the fewest tax consequences or negative implications on the estate.

CHS grad heads to Pro Bowl By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Barring players being added late because of injuries, the Indianapolis achievement Colts’ only Pro Bowl representative will be a 2006 Carmel High School graduate. Erin, a Colts cheerleader, was selected to represent the squad in the game on Jan. 31 in Honolulu (7 p.m., ESPN). The Colts do not permit cheerleaders to share their last name out of safety concerns. Erin said a Pro Bowl representative is voted on by Colts cheerleaders, cheerleading coaches and other organization members. “Your teammates vote, so it’s kind of a big honor that they believe you can represent the organization,” said Erin, who left for Hawaii on Jan. 25. Erin, who married in July and lives in the Lawrence area, has been a Colts cheerleader for six seasons and was the captain of the squad this year. “It’s a lot of time, but it’s so much fun,” Erin said. “I love dancing. I love the Colts. Every year there have been awesome experiences from military tours to visiting Riley Children’s Hospital. It’s definitely worth the time and effort that you have to put into it.”

She hasn’t fully decided if she will audition again for another season with the Colts. “If it don’t, this will be a good way to finish with a big trip to the Pro Bowl,” Erin said.

CMS student wins tennis title By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A Carmel 10-year-old has quickly made a name for himself in the junior tennis world — and it’s a name that isn’t easy to forget. Nishesh Basavaredachievement dy, a Clay Middle School sixth grader, captured the United States Tennis Association Winter Championships boys 12 singles title in Tucson, Ariz., earlier this month. “I felt really happy on how I played throughout the tournament,” said Basavareddy, who turns 11 on May 2. Basavareddy, seeded third, edged No. 1 seed Samuel Landau of Los Angeles for the championship. Basavareddy, who moved to Carmel from Irvine, Calif., in August 2013, lost to Landau in their previous two meetings in California. But he is quick to point out his game has improved in the two years since they last played. “I felt I was really focused,” he said. “I competed hard, and I did my best.” This was his second national title. He previously won the boys 12 title in the USTA National Selection Tournament in Dayton, Ohio, in October. Basavareddy first picked up a racket when

he was 3 years old and began playing competitively when he was 7. His older brother, Nishanth, 13, is a Clay Middle School eighth grader who also competes in junior tournaments. Basavareddy started being coached by Indianapolis tennis pros Bryan Smith and his father, Jeff, shortly after moving to Carmel. “I like to play ping pong with my brother and play soccer outside with my neighbors,” said Basavareddy, whose parents were born in India. “I like to do math at school.”

Carmel resident Aaron Krerowicz an expert on all things Beatles By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Butler University graduate Aaron Krerowicz has turned his love of music and the Beatles into a one-of-a-kind career. As in, he’s the only one. Krerowicz, who lives in Carmel near cover story the border with Zionsville, bills himself as the nations’s only full-time Beatles scholar, and fortunately for local Fab Four enthusiasts, he moved to the area in September after attending graduate school and living in New England the past seven years. He’ll be giving his signature multimedia presentation, “The Beatles: Band of the Sixties,” at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at the HusseyMayfield Memorial Public Library, 250 N. Fifth St., in Zionsvillle. “That’s by far the most popular, because it’s just an overview in general scope,” Krerowicz said of the presentation. “A lot of the others are specific albums or specific songs or specific angles like Paul’s bass playing or something like that. We just go year by year, 1960 through 1970. It’s a very good survey of their career.” While “Band of the Sixties” is Krerowicz’s most popular, it’s just one of more than two dozen Beatles presentations in his repertoire. Album- and song-specific presentations include “‘Yesterday,’ The World’s Most Recorded Song,” “The Beatles’ Alter Ego, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and “Carte Blanche: The Beatles’ ‘White Album.’” Krerowicz has also prepared presentations analyzing the structure and harmony of Beatles music and others focusing on individual members of the group, including “‘Turn Me On Dead Man’: The Notorious ‘Paul is Dead’ Hoax,” “‘Beneath the Waves’: The Development of Paul McCartney’s Bass Playing, 1962-1969” and “Starr Time: A Celebration of Ringo Starr’s Contributions to the Beatles.” Krerowicz has toured America and visited England giving his Beatles presentations. He visited 14 states to deliver 84 presentations in 2015, and his first English lecture tour included

speaking twice in London and three times in the band’s hometown of Liverpool. Krerowicz’s first exposure to the Beatles came as a child, thanks to his father, who had also grown up listening to the band. After graduating from Butler in 2008 with a Bachelor of Music deAaron Krerowicz will soon release gree in theory and coman album titled “Odds ‘n’ Ends.” (Subposition, Krerowicz got mitted photo) a Master’s degree from Boston University in 2010 and in 2012 earned a Graduate Artist Diploma from the University of Hartford, where he delved into study into the Fab Four.

Research ‘Granted’

A grant he won through the university in November 2011 supported his thorough research. “The way the grant worked was the university gave the university music library funds to make purchases at my request, so I could go to the library and say, ‘I want this book, this book and this book,’ which was pretty awesome,” Krerowicz said. “That’s given me kind of the foundation onto which I could start a career doing this kind of thing.” His research has led to Krerowicz writing three books on the Beatles. His first, “The Beatles & The Avant-Garde,” was published in 2014. “The Beatles: Band of the Sixties” followed as an Amazon Kindle eBook in April 2015 and “From the Shadow of JFK: The Rise of Beatlemania in America” was published in June 2015. Also a musician himself, Krerowicz has plans to release an album, “Odds ‘n’ Ends,” later this month. He also recently

launched a series of analytical videos on his website, AaronKrerowicz.com, called “The Beatles Minute.” Each approximately one-minute video focuses on one specific element of the Fab Four and their music — music Krerowicz only becomes more a fan of as he continues his unique work. “It’s the kind of thing where you can listen to Beatles music without knowing anything about it and really just appreciate the music as a consumer. As a listener, you can really get into the music. What I found is the more I listened, the more I wanted to figure out — why is this music so good?” he said. “Analytically, what’s going on here? Musically, structurally, harmonically, how does all this work together to create this great music? So, the more I liked the music, the more I listened to the music, the more I liked it, the more I wanted to study it, which gave me greater appreciation for the artistry, which made me want to listen that much more, which made me want to analyze that much more.”

Annoyance provides good laughs

FR O M   T HE B A C K SH O P These scammers need to go … now!

There always are scams in our midst, engineered by (a) greedy people with far too much time on their hands that believe they are more sophisticated than they actually might be, (b) outright criminals or (c) both of the aforementioned. Too often they succeed, frequently with older, unsuspecting adults. They love calling landlines, but now they’re branching out to cell lines. And so it has gone the last month or so with one such attempted swindle that failed miserably – if you discount the fact that it elicited fear, anger and utter outrage from some targets we know. It went like this, and we assume it’s still going like this: Someone calls and says there was a warrant for one’s arrest and that a lawsuit was being prepared by the Internal Revenue Service (we have to believe for “unpaid taxes.” The IRS itself would contact you and, we assume, would be far more professional.). This is tantamount to proffering the Brooklyn Bridge or “land” in south-central Florida for sale. In some cases, it’s an automated dialing system instructing the theoretical defendant to call back. Someone we know did that; she called back and played along. She told the cretin on the other end of the line that she would meet the caller at his office to rectify the situation, whereupon the guy disconnected. The fact is, folks, there was no office. These creeps are tech savvy, to be sure, but they need to find another line of work … if you can call it that.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

President and accounted for Commentary by Terry Anker There was a time, not that long ago, that every young person imagined that they might become President of the United States. Well, to be fair, many of those same kids hoped that if they ate their spinach that they might become Popeye. Nevertheless, we were taught from the earliest school days to aspire to the vaunted and esteemed office. Sure, a few struggled to conceive of themselves breaking free from their own real or constructed limitations. But generally, it was a time of great expectations. Decades later, one wonders if my kindly, nonetheless quite elderly first grade teacher, Mrs. Nichols, honestly expected one of her class of mostly poor farm kids to make the jump to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Yet, she made us believe not only that we could but that we should. Today, we are more, as some might argue, evolved. We’re highly cynical – less wide-eyed in our optimism. However, some continue to promote a message of aspiration. Our best years remain ahead of us!

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is now accepting applications for the Future Presidents of America Youth Leadership Camp in late June. Touted as “a fun and innovative one-week summer camp for smart, engaged young adults (12-16) that builds individual confidence, civic literacy and good citizenship,” it interactively tells the story of a local boy who made good but also inspires its attendees to imagine how they might make the journey to the White House. In these months of name calling and assuredly sophomoric behavior from our political elites, one can fully understand why no good parent would encourage their sweet progeny to seek a role in the sausage factory. But, can we imagine a world without a willing and participatory democracy? Any student of history will exclaim – yes, we can imagine and it isn’t pretty.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John Wooden

I’m annoyed, but maybe you can have a good laugh. My husband Doo came down earlier than usual this mornhumor ing, turned on all the lights and sat at the kitchen counter to go through bills. He even tried talking to me. What’s going on? Doesn’t he understand I have a routine, a ritual? A 45-minute plan that includes 90 percent darkness and 100 percent silence? That to have the day thrust upon me at 6:30 a.m., when I haven’t even had coffee, is grounds for stink eye and possibly a full-on conniption? Clearly he does not. When I asked him to return the room to peaceful blackness he said, “Are you kidding me?” and then proceeded to tear open an envelope. In a huff, I packed up and left. At least I could reach my quiet classroom with a few minutes to spare before being bombarded by hundreds of teenagers and oddly, a toilet bowl cleaner. (Is someone sending me a message? “Swim with the turds, Wilson!”) Last night, we had a similar “incident.” I’d already turned back into a pumpkin and was literally trying to sleep (eyes closed, blanket tucked), but Doo was in the midst of a fashion show. (Yes, a fashion show. He wanted to parade his new clothes for my approval.) His stuff was strewn all over the room, including the bed, and he kept walking in and out of the bathroom. “How do these jeans look?” “Does this shirt wash me out?” I admit to enjoying his production, but seriously, I just wanted to sleep. I expressed my fatigue and begged him to call it quits, but I came off sounding naggy, even to myself. Bottom line, my husband’s a classic extravert and wants noise and light and stimulus at every hour, while I require the opposite. And there’s nothing I can do except vent to you about our marital trials, however banal. So here we are, back to my annoyance over my beautifully-crafted morning and evening routines being fire-bombed by a handsome bald-guy in a new sweater-vest. It’s okay. Go ahead and chuckle. Peace out.

Underground activities Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was looking for a magazine to take on the plane to pass the time on our two-hour flight to Houston. I chose a publication humor called “Archaeology,” intrigued by the cover that proclaimed “The Top Archeological Discoveries in 2015.” I figured if any magazine could dig up some cool stuff this would be the one. The first story is about hikers in South Africa who called the local police, reporting they had found some “transitional hominid remains.” I think it is a good bet they simply called and said, “Hey, we found some dead guy,” but the magazine needed to class things up a bit for their brainy readership. In Kenya, a research team claims to have unearthed tools dating back to the dawn of man. Most of the implements were large rocks fashioned into hammering devices, as well as a few arrowheads. However, scientists were baffled by the Phillips-head screwdriver they found, because it predates the Phillips-head screw by about three million years. Archeologist Silvia Windauer claims to have uncovered the world’s oldest pretzel, originally baked about 400 years ago. “It was rock hard,

tasteless and inedible,” said the professor, which is pretty much what you also say about a four-day-old pretzel. Wait: did she really taste it? By the way, the scientists also found the remains of dozens of discarded, uneaten rolls in what looked like an ancient trash bin, speculating the baker simply overestimated what he needed that day and chucked the extra. Legend has it that the chef later migrated to Italy where he invented the idea of unlimited breadsticks. What was the first musical instrument? No one is really sure, but apparently something that sounded like a kazoo was once uncovered in some ruins in Portugal. The item was next to a Neanderthal man, but his body was isolated some 50 miles from the rest of his tribe. Scientists are not sure why this man was left alone to die. I have a pretty good idea.

Work Here aims to ease job search By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com In the digital age, finding work options can be as simple as a brief search on one of numerous job websites. Work Here, business a new Carmel-based company and job search engine, aims to ease the burden of searching out hyper-local employment and workforce. Work Here Chief Operating Officer Mike Seidle, along with Chief Technology Officer Rick Wehrle, previously helped establish the National Labor Exchange, a job exchange network between all 50 state workforce agencies, in 2007. The motivation for moving into a more approachable job network was the result of a desire to address gaps in job listings for people with minimal college level education and below. “You had LinkedIn and Monster and all the job boards for the highly skilled professional marketplace, and what we’re seeing is that for most of the jobs there just weren’t the right tools, so we started work on what became Work Here,” Seidle said. The app, which can be found on workhere. com, allows users to search for jobs based on proximity, as well as follow various businesses to receive notifications when positions open up. A social media component allows for jobs to

DOUGH Commentary by Jim Litten The year finished on a high note, with 2015 showing an 8 percent real estate increase in pended home sales over 2014 in the nine-county central Indiana region. It was a strong year for sellers, as sale prices increased each month while available homes decreased during 11 months in 2015 when compared to 2014. December 2015 also saw growth in pended sales and average sales prices by 0.6 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively. Hamilton County’s inventory declined 8.1 percent while the average year-to-date sales price for homes in the county climbed 3.9 percent to $278,163. • In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 1.3 percent compared to this time last year, rising to $348,555. • Inventory moved at a faster pace in Carmel in December 2015. Overall, homes sold in 76 days – 11 fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Carmel had fewer options available to them. Last month, 373 homes were available for sale – 46 fewer homes

compared to December 2014. • Pended home sales have increased in Carmel. In December 2015, 91 homes sold – an increase of 19 homes compared to December 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, 16 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 36 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 21 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 16 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and two were priced at $99,999 or less. 2015 was marked by modest growth, but the nine-county central Indiana region has performed as well as and, in some respects, better than the national trends in home sales. We expect 2016 to emulate last year, as interest rates and affordability affect the industry. However, we’re optimistic that homeownership is still appealing to the majority of millennials, as reported by the National Association of Realtors, which indicates 94 percent of current renters younger than 35 want to buy a home.

The Center for Performing Arts making memories in first 5 years By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As The Center for the Performing Arts marks its fifth anniversary this week, there are many positive signs. The Center, which had its ribbon cutting on Jan. music 22, 2011, and a gala dinner and concert a week later, recently announced it posted a surplus for the second year in a row. Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, the Center’s president/CEO, described it as a year of growth and vibrancy across the non-profit organization. The Center posted income totaling $8,707,684 and expenses totaling $8,447,239. Revenue drivers include ticket sales, facility rentals and contributed income. Moskalenko, who has been president since June 2012, said she is proud the Center esMoskalenko tablished itself as an integral part of the arts and cultural landscape of Central Indiana. “Having had over 615,000 people come through our campus from all 92 counties in Indiana, all 50 states in the nation, and 23 different countries speaks to the impact and significance of our Center,” Moskalenko said. “We have a strong board, a strong staff, and a vibrant patron base all who support the artists and programs we bring to our campus making our future look very bright.” The Palladium recently held its first New Year’s Eve event with The Hot Sardines as the main attraction. “The New Year’s Eve Party turned out to be such a great event that I know we will be repeating it for years to come,” Moskalenko said “But, that success came after deliberate and thoughtful planning. When we look toward the future there are many things we’d like to do and many more artists we’d like to present. I’d like to be able to take more risks by introducing new and cutting edge artists to our audiences. Sometimes, those are the most exciting projects.” Frank Basile, who served as interim president from July 2011 until Moskalenko’s hiring, said that hiring is one of his fondest memories. “I always think a person in an interim position is judged by the effectiveness of the person they get to come in a permanent basis,” Basile said. “I could not have been happier with Tania.” Basile, who lives on the north side of Indianapolis, enjoyed making new friends in Carmel during his tenure. “We were welcomed so warmly by people,” Basile said. “Another memory I have is meeting some of the very fine people who perform there, for example Tony Bennett. I found them all to be really good people and happy to be performing at the Palladium.” Basile also enjoyed developing a friendship with Michael Feinstein, the Center’s artistic director, and partner Terrence Flannery. Moskalenko said she loved many of the performances during her tenure but a few do stand out.

Miz Elizabeth, lead singer of The Hot Sardines, pauses with Mayor Jim Brainard and Evan ‘Bibs” Palazzo Bandleader of The Hot Sardines after the NYE Extravaganza concert at the Palladium to ring in 2016.

Frank Basile, Britt McDermott, Katrina Basile and Terrence Flannery enjoy each other’s company at the Songbook Celebration Gala last year.

“Harry Connick, Jr. was truly special, not only because he opened our fifth anniversary season, but also because he was so complimentary of our hall, our staff, and our community, both on stage and off,” Moskalenko said. “Chris Botti delivered a concert with a sound so pristine that I will always treasure that evening. Then there have been the less well-known performers, like Samite of Uganda, whose performance turned into a dance party that brought all of the audience members together on stage. The RIOULT Dance Company performance a couple of years ago was also exciting because it included a lot of outreach activities that really allowed us to make an impact into the community.”

For Mayor Jim Brainard, the variety of entertainment has been special. “We’ve seen some wonderful shows there from all different types of musicians from classical symphonies to country to our Songbook Series that the rest of the world knew America by from the 1920s through World War II,” he said. “I think one of the most fun things I go to every year is Michael Brainard Feinstein’s Songbook Academy for talented high school students. They come from all over the country. It’s a great opportunity for the kids.”

Semi-homemade Super Bowl Food By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley The most copied item on today’s restaurant menus is the slider. It seems like even upscale eateries offer some kind of slider. So let’s talk about making the most famous slider of all, the hamburger, right at home in your kitchen. You can do it, and guests will enjoy them during your Super Bowl party. Hamburger Sliders Ingredients: • 1 lb. ground beef (80 percent lean) • 12 slider buns • 2 cups diced onion • Dill pickle chips • Salt and pepper • French’s Brown Mustard Preparation: At least an hour ahead, place the diced onions in a bowl, cover them with water, cover it and let them sit until needed. Use a pencil and ruler to line a sheet of parchment paper into a dozen three inch squares. Place the ground beef onto the parchment paper and take a second sheet and cover the meat. Roll the meat with a rolling pin to 1/4 inch thickness. You’ll need to trim the edges each time to put the excess meat back onto the top of the first layer. Using a large knife, cut the meat into squares that match the pencil lines. Place the meat, with parchment, onto a cookie sheet and place it into the freezer for 25-30 minutes. Take the meat out and punch five holes into each piece with the large end of a chopstick or drinking straw. Place the punched patties on parchment back into the freezer for one hour or until frozen. On a griddle or large frying pan spoon out the water soaked onions and heat them until slightly crispy. Remove the meat from the freezer and break off the patties. Place the patties

on the onions and cook five to seven minutes. Salt and pepper the meat slightly. Separate the buns and place the bottom of the slider buns face down on top of the patties and then place the bun tops face down atop of the bottoms. The onion and steam will cook the patties so that you can use a spatula to pick up a burger, turn it over and place the top onto the onion side. Plate these sliders and add a pickle and mustard to each.

The word of the year is

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Western society has either begun its transcendence into a new digital age, or its descent into madness. grammar guy I can’t tell. Either way, in 1,000 years linguists will look back to now and identify 2015’s “Word of the Year” as the harbinger of what was to come. Proving, perhaps, that a picture really is worth a thousand words, Oxford Dictionaries has chosen for the first time ever a pictograph as “Word of the Year.” Those are their words, and they gussy things up a bit. What they chose was an emoji – specifically the laughing-so-hard-I’m-crying “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji. (Refer to the nearest 14-year-old if you’re unfamiliar.) According to Oxford Dictionaries and mobile technology business SwiftKey, the “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji made up 20 percent of all the emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the U.S. They note it’s also seen heavy use from celebrities and brands and made an appearance on the Vine that kicked off the “on fleek” meme … which I just hate. Here’s Oxford’s reasoning in their own words:

“Emojis are no longer the preserve of texting teens – instead, they have been embraced as a nuanced form of expression, and one which can cross language barriers. Even Hillary Clinton solicited feedback in the form of emojis, and (Face with Tears of Joy) has had notable use from celebrities and brands alongside everyone else – and even appeared as the caption to the Vine which apparently kicked off the popularity of the term ‘on fleek,’ which appears on our WOTY shortlist.” Before you lose all hope, the American Dialect Society chose singular “they” as their word of the year. That’s an excellent choice, and one that deserves (and will get) its own column. For my two cents, the word of the year, at least for Indiana, was “impinge” – as used, likely more than ever prior in the history of the word, by Gov. Mike Pence during the RFRA debate. Are you OK with an emoji being the “Word of the Year?” Do you think there was a better choice? Let me know. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

Pella and speculation about the end of time Commentary by Don Knebel

Pella, Jordan, is one of the oldest urban settlements in the world. Its history is linked with a prophecy of Jesus that travel figures into speculation about the end of time. About 10,000 years ago, Stone Age farmers established a permanent village in the fertile lands in the eastern foothills of the Jordan River Valley. By 1800 B.C., the village had become a city called “Pihilum,” featuring an important Canaanite temple. The Greeks captured Pihilum in the third century B.C. and renamed it “Pella,” honoring the birthplace of Alexander the Great. When the Romans captured the area in 63 B.C., they made Pella one of the 10 self-governing cities of the Decapolis, adding the temples, theaters, baths and colonnaded streets typical of major Roman cities. In 70 A.D., four Roman legions sent to Jerusalem to put down the First Jewish Revolt entered the city after an extended siege, killed up to a million residents and demolished the Second Temple. In the fourth century, Eusebius and other historians reported. Christian inhabitants of Jerusalem had been warned of the impending devastation by a “revelation” and escaped to Pella, about 50 miles northeast. Many schol-

ars associate this account with the statements of Jesus, reported in the “Gospel of Luke,” predicting the destruction of the temple and warning his followers to “flee to the mountains” when they see “Jerusalem being surrounded by armies.” Despite the first century context of Jesus’ statements, some believe they presage events at the end of time and await their own cues to flee to the mountains. Pella was destroyed by an earthquake in 749 and its history largely forgotten. But the

story of the early Christians’ flight to Pella was remembered by 800 freedom-seeking Dutch immigrants who settled in southern Iowa in 1847 and named their new town after that ancient refuge.
