“A pair of new hips lets me chase down blazing serves and fleeing criminals.” – tye d.

The defining moment came when Tye, a 36-year-old police officer, couldn’t step over a baby gate to help a 911 caller. No more would his aching hips keep him from doing his job. He went to Community’s Center for Joint Health where he had both joints replaced. From the confidence of his surgeon and care coordinator, to the quick access and “incredible rehab”, Tye has nothing but high marks for Community. He is back to any sport where he gets to chase after a ball, and has proven there is no baby gate too tall. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Mathis to plead — Former Colts defensive end Robert Mathis is expected to plead guilty March 12 to operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person. He was arrested in October 2017 in Carmel after police spotted him driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failing to use a turn signal. His blood alcohol concentration was below the legal limit, but police determined he was impaired and not safe to operate the vehicle. Reports state Mathis told the officer he used a sleeping aid with alcohol. Tax incentives approved — The Carmel city council on March 4 approved tax incentives for BraunAbility, a manufacturer of wheelchair accessible vehicles that recently announced plans to move its headquarters to Carmel and build a research and development center. Carmel will give BraunAbility a 75 percent property tax abatement for 10 years attributable to capital improvements and equipment installed on the property at 645 W. Carmel Drive. The abatements only apply to an increase in the site’s assessed value that occurs as a result of development. Career fair — Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St., will host a Skilled Trades Majors & Career Fair for high school students from 6:30 to 8 p.m. March 19. The event is free, and parents are encouraged to attend. During the event, career opportunities in high-wage, in-demand careers, including the skilled trades, will be highlighted. A variety of professionals, companies and organizations will share information about career options that may not necessarily require a fouryear degree. Civil War Roundtable — Robert Girardi will speak about the murder of Maj. Gen. William ‘Bull’ Nelson at the March 13 meeting of the Hamilton County Civil War Roundtable. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the event at Carmel City Hall (1 Civic Square), which is free and open to the public.

The City of Carmel unveiled two initiatives at the March 4 city council meeting to provide CITY NEWS support for people with disabilities. The Specific Response Registry allows residents to voluntarily fill out a form that lets first responders Campbell know that someone in the home may have trouble leaving quickly in case of an emergency or that may require a specific response from emergency personnel. The information is shared with the Carmel police and fire departments and the Hamilton County emergency dispatch center and will alert responders about the special conditions when they are sent to the scene. “The more information we have prior to arriving on scene is helpful,” Carmel Fire Dept. Chief David Haboush said. “We believe this tool will allow all first responders in the City of Carmel an opportunity to produce better outcomes for all of our residents.” City council member Laura Campbell, who has a daughter with epilepsy and cognitive disabilities, said she approached city leaders about launching the registry last fall

and that they were immediately supportive of the idea. To learn more about the registry, visit carmel.in.gov/department-services/fire/ forms-and-applications and click on the links to Specific Response Registry. Campbell also announced the formation of the Carmel Advisory Committee on Disability, which she will co-chair with David Littlejohn, the city’s Haboush alternative transportation coordinator. She expects the committee to have approximately 12 members. The committee will focus on improving accessibility throughout Carmel, encouraging employers to hire people with disabilities and create and promote social connections through events. With March being Indiana Disability Awareness Month, the second Saturday Meet Me on Main event scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. March 9 will feature artwork by Carmel High School students in the Life Skills class. A make-and-take art project will be offered at 110 W. Main St. Suite 125, and 2019 Miss Indiana Teen USA Catie Combellick will be on-site to promote her platform, #EveryoneAlways, which focuses on autism awareness.

CARMEL Range Line Road is closed southbound between Eighth Street to just south of Clay Terrace for installation of a stormwater collection system and pedestrian connectivity. The city expects to finish the project this spring. Lane restrictions are under way near Keystone Parkway and 96th Street, where a new roundabout interchange is being built. Construction is expected to last through the year. Construction on a new access ramp from Lowes Way to Keystone Parkway is ongoing. FISHERS Southbound and northbound traffic on Allisonville Road is now on newly constructed pavement. This will remain the traffic reconfiguration as construction continues into spring. The speed limit is 30 mph. Construction work has begun on Ind. 37. Construction vehicles will use the construction entrance on Lantern Road between 126th and 131st streets, which may cause short delays. There are no scheduled lane restrictions. ZIONSVILLE/WHITESTOWN Nighttime operations requiring lane closures began earlier this month to repair a damaged bridge beam on I-465 over I-865 on the northwest side of Indianapolis in Boone County. The project will require closing I-465’s northbound ramp to westbound I-865 and detouring westbound motorists via eastbound I-465 to U.S. Highway 421/ Michigan Road where they will reverse direction to westbound I-465. In addition, the southbound left lane of I-465 and a single thru-lane on I-865 will be closed to facilitate repairs. Weeknight restrictions will be in effect between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

View of the new Humane Society for Hamilton County facility from Hague Road in Fishers. (Submitted rendering)

HSHC’s $12 million capital campaign under way By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Although Hamilton County is the wealthiest county in the state, animals at the Humane Society for Hamilton PETS County’s facility don’t have access to many services. HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said even animal control facilities have more services than the HSHC. “What people have to understand is (our building) is actually missing fundamental areas that even an animal control facility has. Our design today is literally missing an intake area for cats,” Stevens said. “We don’t currently have a medical wing. There are no exercise areas, no storage. There’s no meeting space, no quarantine area for contagious animals.” However, the animals’ environment may improve soon because of a $12 million capital campaign to construct a new 40,000-square-foot facility at 106th Street and Hague Road in Fishers. The goal is to open the shelter within the next 1,000 days. The current shelter only has 8,000 square feet of space. Stevens said the larger facility won’t significantly create more kennel space but will provide room for more educational outreach programs and include traditional Humane Society amenities, such as a medical wing. “We are not doubling everything. That’s not the solution, to keep adding more cages. The solution is looking at building a facility that’s going to sustain the growth of

this county and its needs,” Stevens said. HSHC hired Shelter Planners for America to consult in designing the new shelter. Noise control is a priority in the new facility, which will have plexiglass instead of barred cages. “Today, the best way to explain the challenge we have is you have a dog in a kennel with no noise control and no visual barrier between dogs on each side or across from it,” Stevens said. “There is very little disease control. You have an animal come into the shelter and it immediately declines, behaviorally and health-wise.” With the new facility, HSHC will be able to expand its educational and outreach programs. “We’ve been unable to expand programs, unable to offer the community what we know they want and what we know we can give,” Stevens said. “This is such a great way for us to be able to plant more seeds (of kindness) in our youth and in the community and what it means to be kind to animals and the importance of pet adoption.” Other programs Stevens wants to expand are the Pets Healing Vets program, where a shelter animal is placed with a veteran, and offer long-term placement for active-duty military who are deployed and have no one to care for their pets. The HSHC is seeking donations for the new facility. The first $1 million has already been donated by an anonymous donor. For more or to donate, contact Stevens at hamiltonhumane75@gmail.com.

Options to relocate to Westfield By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com By fall of 2021, Options Charter School plans to serve more students by moving its current EDUCATION Carmel campus, 530 West Carmel Dr., to the northwest quadrant of Ind. 32 and Gunther Boulevard in Westfield. Options is an alternative Gustin school for students who don’t perform as well in a traditional school setting. Many of Options’ students require a smaller setting due to anxiety or a socialemotional issue. Options recently joined the Hamilton Boone Madison Special Services Cooperative and began developing partnerships with traditional public schools in the area. “We started having conversations with Noblesville, Sheridan, Hamilton Heights and, a little later, Westfield, on how we can better partner with them because they’re losing students who aren’t thriving in their environments,” Options President and CEO Mike Gustin said. Public school districts will transfer

students who would be better suited for Options, and several districts provide transportation to either the Noblesville or Carmel Options campuses. “They bus students who would have attended Sheridan schools to Options Noblesville,” Options COO Michelle Walden said. “They realize it’s a benefit to the family to make sure they get to school.” Walden The move will not only provide a campus closer to those students residing in Sheridan and Westfield, but it also will help accomplish the goal of switching from a lease to a mortgage. The land and construction of Options Westfield will cost approximately $3 million to $3.5 million. The square footage will be approximately 15,000 square feet versus 13,000 square feet at Options Carmel. Another benefit is the new Westfield campus will be a one-story building. Options Westfield plans to offer sixth, seventh and eighth grades at the Westfield campus. For more, visit optionsschools.org.

CPD officers now wearing body cameras to capture public interactions By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel police officers have been outfitted with a new tool to help protect the community and streamline COVER STORY their jobs. By March 1, each patrol officer began wearing a body camera to capture video and audio of interactions with the public. Most officers attach the cameras to the front of their shirt, although some Bickel may wear a different style attached to eyeglasses. Besides being an accessory to remember, Carmel Police Dept. Lt. Joe Bickel doesn’t expect the cameras to make much of a difference in how the officers do their jobs. “They’re very comfortable with the cameras,” Bickel said. “There’s no shock or awe or nervousness or surprise because they’ve had cameras in their cars. It’s hard to find an officer that did not have cameras in their cars that still works here.” Bickel is one of the few who remembers CPD without cameras — he’s been on the force since 1994. More than 20 years ago, CPD began installing dash cameras in police vehicles to record traffic stops and anything else that happens within view. An audio feed captured some events that didn’t have video. But this year, CPD used $80,000 from a

federal grant to fund the first phase of a five-year lease for 120 Axon body cameras and 100 in-car cameras. CPD plans to spend $1.7 million on the upgrades — which include new interview room cameras — in the next five years. Police made the switch after years of studying the issue and months of testing various brands and styles. Bickel said CPD chose Axon for many reasons, including the ease of starting a recording. The cameras automatically turn on when the police vehicle’s emergency lights are activated and when the officer turns on a Taser. Each officer received a new Axon Taser to promote connectivity.

“In the heat of the moment, if something happens, the officer doesn’t have to remember to turn his body camera on. It’s automatically going to turn on for him,” Bickel said. “Those kinds of things in today’s society are very important, because officers experience a lot of things and are involved in a lot of high-stress situations. For them to not have to think about (the new equipment) is good so they can concentrate on the emergency.” Body cameras are becoming increasingly popular at police departments throughout the nation. They’re credited with a decrease in the use of force, fewer driving while intoxicated cases going to court and fewer

CPD UPGRADING TO HYBRID VEHICLES In addition to body cameras, Carmel police officers also are receiving upgraded vehicles. The Carmel Police Dept. is switching its fleet from gasoline-powered vehicles to Ford Hybrid Interceptors. The city expects to save $3,000 per year for each car, resulting in an estimated annual savings of approximately $400,000 for the entire fleet. Seventeen police vehicles will be replaced this year, with all 130 vehicles being upgraded within five years. “This is a win–win situation for the Carmel Police Dept.,” Carmel Police Dept. Chief Jim Barlow stated in a press release. “Officers will not see a difference in the

complaints of abuse by police officers. “The Carmel Fraternal Order of Police welcomes the new body cameras as another tool and resource for our members. Public trust and transparency are of the upmost importance to the law enforcement profession,” said Shane VanNatter, Carmel FOP Lodge 185 president. “Recent events nationwide have shown that the protection of officers against false accusations are of paramount importance to the FOP.” The increased use of body cameras has been met with criticism in some jurisdictions, as some people have expressed privacy concerns both for the officers and the public. But Bickel said he isn’t aware of the initiative meeting any resistance in Carmel. “It’s protection for the officer and protection for the citizens,” Bickel said. “Everything that happens is being recorded, so there’s really no doubt about what was said.” He also said that the cameras will increase efficiency, as footage will be uploaded automatically when the camera is docked for charging. It will eliminate the need to search through video recordings, as it will automatically be linked by a timestamp to specific incidents and make burning evidence to a disc for trial a thing of the past. “It will be so much nicer and so much quicker for the officers,” he said. “We want efficiency for our officers, especially when the technology is out there for our officers to be able to do their job quicker and get something done and move on.”

ESSAY Seeking ‘likes’

LETTER Small businesses thriving in Carmel

Commentary by Terry Anker It can be said with abundant certainty that social media has changed the way in which we interact with each other. Countless studies, articles and even full-on books have been dedicated to assessing the cultural phenomena unleashed by our newly cultivated ability to share, perhaps over-share, the various details and vagrancies of our daily existence. We tell events big and small. The news of a new baby in our family or the loss of a tire in the ubiquitous central Indiana potholes is spread with equal and banal distribution. We post our vacation pictures, bringing with them both shared joy and a modicum of envy. We post half-baked postures and opinions alongside our well-considered and executed musings. We post more links in the prayer chain seeking to lift up someone who is struggling. Along the way, we’ve begun to understand how best to present ourselves, hopefully our better selves, to the world. In so doing, we’ve become curators in our own lives. The more tech savvy among us have figured out, by research or by accident, what kinds of posts are among the more appealing. Called by some clickbait, the notion of creating our own headline has become an obsession for us. We find ourselves validated or rebuked by the number of casual “likes” that might correspond to our reveries. Eventually, society will find its watermark. Our habits will bend to the collective will of the social media marketplace. Then, it will all seem second nature. In the meantime, we endure the random passerby blocking traffic in search of the perfect “selfie” to post and wonder: “Is this my good side?” Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Wall of despair Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m experiencing a bit of a rage stroke and need to vent my frustrations before I punch an innocent wall. And though HUMOR our liar-liar-pants-on-fire president certainly has warranted several of my recent hypertensive episodes, today I’ll be complaining about a more mundane topic, the cost of college (I haven’t the space for a Trump tirade!). My husband Doo and I have four children, the oldest of whom is a sophomore at an in-state university. Our twins are seniors in high school, and our youngest is a freshman. We have saved enough to pay for one year of college for each of them, with the understanding that they will be responsible for the rest through scholarships, loans and part-time work. Oh, the naiveté! For starters, we have perfectly wonderful, but perfectly average, kiddos. No top athletes, artistic phenoms or academic wunderkinds here. We also make too much money.

Not me, of course; I’m a teacher in Indiana! But Doo does well enough that financial aid isn’t in the cards, so even if they stay close, they will have to come up with $75,000 each for undergrad. Why not just borrow? Well, governmentbacked loans only cover about a fifth, and a 20-year old who works part-time reffing intramurals and selling Cutco knives doesn’t qualify for a private one. So, if said young adult wants to remove the hold on his registrar’s account, pay rent and eat, his mom has to Venmo him cash and then become a co-signer. Multiply that by three more moochers (two of whom are hell-bent on heading west), and you see why I’ve been eye-balling that wall for the past 30 hours. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We respected them, as every man with a heart must respect those who give all for their beliefs.” -Oliver Wendall Holmes

Editor, Mayoral candidate Fred Glynn’s Feb. 20 letter paints Mayor Jim Brainard’s 23-year record of turning Carmel into a business powerhouse as “bad for small business.” Carmel’s business owners know better than that. I moved to Carmel in 2000 and opened Pedego Electric Bikes along the Monon Trail in 2017. In an era of nationwide retailsector struggles, Carmel’s economy is filled with locally owned, profitable restaurants, boutiques, galleries and many other businesses. And new ones keep opening up. I’m pleased with the success of my business so far, and I feel this is a great barometer of the small business environment created by Mayor Brainard in our city. Glynn also singles out the city’s purchase of Monon Square, the 1960’s strip center surrounded on all sides by investment and renewal, as an affront to small businesses. I see the city purchasing the center as a sign that our local businesses can be protected during redevelopment. I know that Mayor Brainard’s redevelopment efforts will result in the beautiful walkable and bikable environment that my customers love and help first-floor retail stay successful. Fred Glynn’s letter may have included some beautiful imagery, but the substance of his arguments is flat out wrong. Josh Freedman, Carmel

Udder nonsense Commentary by Dick Wolfsie As I mentioned last week, my wife and I are trying to learn a little Spanish in preparation for our trip to South America. When I searched for translation options online, I found: “Cow to English” on the site Lingojam. I’m not kidding. That’s news — no, moos — we can use. Many cattle expressions have beefed up our language: “Being put out to pasture;” “milking something for all it’s worth;” “cash cow;” “’til the cows come home;” “holy cow!;” “a bunch of bull;” “cowlick;” and my favorite, “power steering.” There is an inexplicable compulsion shared by everyone who drives past cows grazing in pastures. The urban dictionary coined the term “Bovilexia” for the urge to open the car window and yell, “Moo!” Cows have a lot of time to contemplate — more so than dogs, who usually have family obligations. What do cows think about? I’d give a Big Mac to know. Humans get into serious trouble when we have too much time to think. Pablo Picasso was happy painting bowls of fruit on a table for years.

Purse Strings is a Carmel shop with a unique story. Located in Clay Terrace, Purse Strings offers a variety OWNERSHIP of fashion accessories and other items for women and men, but it launched as the first Vera Bradley store. “Around 2008, when Vera Bradley went public, they decided to open their own company store, and this store became Purse Strings. After a few years, the previous owners retired and I re-opened it in September (2018),” said Paul Braun, who owns Purse Strings with his wife, Heather. As the name implies, Purse Strings carries women’s fashion accessories, such as purses and jewelry, although it also offers a variety of other items, from packaged chocolates to home décor. Braun said Purse Strings also is a great place for men to shop. “We carry men’s leather accessories, including backpacks. We have a great men’s line called Duke Cannon Supply Company, which is a men’s grooming line,” said Braun, a Fishers resident. “We have everything

from shaving creams to hair gels. We also have unique sports wallets made out of authentic football and baseball leather.” Six Indiana-based brands are represented at Purse Strings, in addition to Vera Bradley, which originated in Fort Wayne. Other local companies are Baekgaard, Ambre Blends Fragrances, DeBrand Fine Chocolates, Peepers, Re-Issued Books and July Twenty Two. “I think we have a great assortment of personal items and gifts, and there is a wide price range, everything from $10 pieces of jewelry up to $400 handbags,” Braun said.

The Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program had so much success with last year’s inaugural HamilEMPLOYMENT ton County Hiring Fair that it plans to conduct a second event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 14 at Ivy Tech, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville. Last year, 270 job seekers attended. Sixty vendors, each offering full-time positions with a minimum starting salary of $27,000, participated. The requirements are the same for the March event, and organizers hope to have up to 75 vendors. “I know the fact that people came, and not only did they interview for jobs, but actually received job offers that day,” said Jason Ells, a member of the Sheridan Youth Assistance Program board and the senior vice president of Custom Concrete in Westfield. “Not only did they do on-site interviews, but people were hired on the spot.” Job offerings will be in specific fields, including health care, hospitality, agricultural science, construction, technology, transportation, manufacturing and public safety. Many of the jobs also offer benefits,

and some will offer starting salaries higher than the $27,000 minimum. Training agencies will be featured as well. Application and resume assistance will be provided by Work One of Hamilton County. The event is free. “We will have training agencies there such as Ivy Tech, and those who are training people versus employers,” said Lisa Samuels, an early intervention advocate for the SYAP. “If you want to learn a trade, there’s also those opportunities, too.” Many of the jobs do not require a college degree. Entry-level and experienced skill trades will be offered.

‘Serial entrepreneur’ acquires franchise By Viktoria Nasteva news@currentincarmel.com Business ownership is possible, no matter your background, according to Mark Roger, a long-time OWNERSHIP Carmel resident and “serial entrepreneur” who has been consulting and encouraging community members to start local or family owned companies since 1993. But now, Roger has made his first foray into Roger franchising when he recently took ownership of Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa at Keystone Crossing. Providing specialized services for women and men, Hand & Stone uses cutting-edge techniques and prioritizes educating masseurs and estheticians on how to address the root cause of an issue rather than how to systematically perform a massage or facial, Roger said.

Narducci returns to ‘Camelot’ in opera production By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s natural that Daniel Narducci will take on the role of King Arthur in the Indianapolis Opera production. MUSICAL Narducci had played Lancelot on a tour where the late Robert Goulet, who originated the role of Lancelot in the 1960 Broadway production of “Camelot,” had transitioned into the role of King Arthur. “For him to accept our invitation to do his debut as Arthur after literally doing Lancelot all over the world (is amazing),” Indianapolis Opera general director David Starkey said. “He’s been approached multiple times (about) when is he going to do the Arthur debut. It’s a great honor for him to come alongside us and do that.” Indianapolis Opera will present “Camelot” at 7:30 p.m. March 22 and 23 and 2:30 p.m. March 24 at the Schrott Center for the Performing Arts on Butler’s campus in Indianapolis. “We’re going to put the opera touch on it,” said Starkey, a Geist resident. Narducci, a Bloomington resident, is on the voice faculty at the University of Indianapolis. “This (musical) for me dates back to high school,” Narducci said. “It’s the first musical I ever participated in. I was in the chorus with Cheshire (Conn.) Community Theater, so I have a soft spot in my heart for this show.” Narducci said he was inspired by his mother after telling her about a baritone in the production singing, “If Ever I Would Leave You.” “She said, ‘I’m sure he was good, but have you ever heard the original with Robert Goulet?” Narducci said. “She put on the (album), and I was blown away. That would have been 1983. From that point on, Robert Goulet was very much on my mind as far as his singing.” Narducci, 51, did two tours as Lancelot. The first was a six-month tour with British actor James Warwick in 1995. “We started in Canada and zigzagged across the United States and ended in Anchorage,” he said. In 1998, he again landed the role of

Peterson’s Peterson’s Prime Rib Egg Rolls combine prime rib, white cheddar, soy jus, wasabi horseradish aioli and scallions. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 7690 E. 96th St., Fishers What to get: Prime Rib Egg Rolls Price: $12 Anna’s take: This was my first time at Peterson’s, and I was impressed. I stopped in for some quick appetizers and a glass of wine in a quiet corner of the bar, but I can’t wait to go back. Peterson’s is fine dining, so dress accordingly. I tried the Prime Rib Egg Rolls, which were delicious cylinders of prime rib, white cheddar, soy jus, wasabi horseradish aioli and scallions. The outside breading was slightly crunchy, and as soon as I bit into the tender prime rib, it was game over. I should’ve ordered two serv-

ings. I’m a fan of both prime rib and egg rolls, but I have never combined the two before. I also sampled the calamari, served on top of Napa slaw with a side of ginger orange chili sauce ($15). Delicious. Check out Peterson’s if you’re on a date, if you’re on an after-hours business meeting or if you just want to enjoy a quiet corner in the bar with some prime food choices. Suggested pairings: I ordered a glass of the Rabble Wine Company’s Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, Calif. ($12). It was delicious, and there are plenty of wine options on the menu if dry reds aren’t up your alley.

Blueprint for Improvement: Bathroom updates make a splash Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

Background: The owners of this 1988 home in Carmel’s Springmill Crossing neighborhood wanted an updated look and improved flow for their master bathroom.

1. The oversized tub was removed and replaced with a spacious walk-in shower. 2. Carpet was replaced with gorgeous tile planks that instantly transformed the space. 3. The homeowners worked with our designers to select finishes and textures that reminded them of one of their favorite places, the Coastal Carolinas. 4. Now these homeowners can enjoy a relaxing retreat in the comfort of their own home! To get started on your own remodeling project, visit caseindy.com, or visit us at one of our three locations in the metro area.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more beforeand-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The existing space was long and narrow and didn’t function smoothly. The oversized bathtub was separate from the shower and rarely used. The shower and toilet shared a small room, which wasn’t ideal.

The Grand Canyon from the south rim. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Grand Canyon: A natural wonder Commentary by Don Knebel On Feb. 26, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona celebrated its 100th anniversary. The history of the canyon is about 20 million times longer. TRAVEL By any definition, the Grand Canyon, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, is awesome. It is 227 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. Equally awesome are the natural processes that created it. Beginning about 2 billion years ago, a sea that covered the area began depositing layers of sediment. During the next 1 1/2 billion years or so, about 40 distinct layers were deposited. About 75 million years ago, the geologic events that created the Rocky Mountains began to lift the area, eventually creating the 7,000-foot-high Colorado Plateau. At some point, a river began flowing on the plateau toward the Pacific Ocean. As the raising of the plateau increased the river’s elevation, the water in what is now the Colorado River began traveling faster and faster toward the ocean, eroding away one after

another layer of the soft sedimentary rock. The erosion accelerated and widened when the river frequently flooded from melting snow and glaciers in the Rockies. Erosion from fast-moving tributaries flowing into the river further eroded the canyon walls. With the Colorado River still about 2,000 feet above sea level, the erosion continues and the canyon is slowly getting deeper. Grand Canyon National Park offers access to the canyon’s north and south rims, with the best and most popular views provided by nine overlooks along the south rim, open year-round. The north rim, open only in the summer, provides access to mule rides deep into the canyon. Access to the west rim is through lands controlled by the Hualapai Indian Tribe, which built a hugely popular glass-bottomed skywalk over the canyon.

A dash of proper punctuation Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Have you ever put spicy mustard on a sandwich? If you inadvertently glob on too much of the good GRAMMAR GUY stuff, you’ll swear you just snorted wasabi. When it comes to spices that are in your face (literally and figuratively), a little bit can go a long way. In the same way, hyphens and dashes — when sprinkled into sentences properly — add just the right punch. Not only will we learn how to use the hyphen (-) properly today, but we’ll also learn how to use both the en (–) and em (—) dashes. Let’s start with hyphens. Hyphens are like glue for two words that are connected. Use hyphens in compound adjectives, which are adjectives that precede a noun they modify in order to connect them together. Examples of compound adjectives include well-known, blue-haired, one-eyed and illconceived. Hyphens also are used to separate numbers (three hundred sixty-five) and to create a line break when syllables of the same word get separated. We still see this sometimes in books and newspapers.

En dashes (–) are all about range. Use an en dash in order to show a range of numbers. The Thunder beat the Jazz 120–101. The store is open Monday-Friday. The en dash is named as such because it is about the width of the letter “n.” To type an en dash on a PC, press ctrl+minus. On a Mac, press option+hyphen. The em dash (—) is the length of the letter “m.” Generally, use it as a more dramatic substitute for other punctuation, like commas, colons, semicolons or parentheses. Do not—I repeat—do not put spaces around the em dash; allow the words to bump up right next to the em dash to show the immediacy and drama it interjects. To type an em dash on a PC, press alt+ctrl+minus. On a Mac, press option+shift+hyphen. If you want to get a shiny gold star sticker on your grammar chart, learn the difference between hyphens, en dashes and em dashes.

As long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds as nominee of

DTC, payments of principal and interest will be made directly to such registered owner, which will in turn, remit such payments to the DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. Neither the School Corporation nor the financial institution selected by the School Corporation as the registrar and paying agent (the “Registrar” and the “Paying Agent”), shall have any liability for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to remit the payment or provide any notice to any Beneficial Owner. The Bonds shall be numbered consecutively from 2019R-1 upward, shall bear an original issue date which shall be the date the Bonds are issued and shall mature on the dates and in the amounts as follows: Maturity Date Principal Amount* July 15, 2020 $585,000 January 15, 2021 1,075,000 July 15, 2021 2,470,000 January 15, 2022 2,505,000 July 15, 2022 2,540,000 January 15, 2023 2,575,000 July 15, 2023 2,610,000 January 15, 2024 2,645,000 July 15, 2024 2,685,000 January 15, 2025 2,725,000 *estimated, subject to change The School Corporation reserves the right to adjust principal amounts within maturities of the Bonds to achieve approximate level annual debt service levies of the School Corporation based upon the rates bid by the successful bidder, the School Corporation’s current debt service levy and the School Corporation’s anticipated debt service levy during the term of the Bonds. Except as may be agreed to by the School Corporation and the successful bidder, all payments of interest on the Bonds will be paid by check or draft mailed one business day prior to each interest payment date, to the registered owners of the Bonds at the address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the first (1st) day of the month of the interest payment date or at such other address as is provided to the Registrar and Paying Agent in writing by such registered owner. Except as may be agreed to by the School Corporation and the successful bidder, principal on the Bonds will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid directly by the Paying Agent to DTC by wire transfer on the interest payment dates and principal payment dates in accordance with the procedures required by DTC, and (b) so long as all of the outstanding Bonds are held by one accredited investor, principal of and interest on the Bonds may be paid directly by the Paying Agent to DTC by wire transfer on the interest payment dates and principal payment dates without presentment of the Bonds. The Bonds may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the Registrar, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Bonds. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. Unless otherwise noted in the twenty-four (24) hour notice of sale received by all interested bidders prior to the sale date of the Bonds, none of the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. Upon the election of the successful bidder with respect to the Bonds, any of the Bonds may be issued as term bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on January 15 and July 15 of the year set forth above at 100% of the face value in accordance with the schedule set forth above. If any of the Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, the Paying Agent shall credit against the mandatory sinking fund requirement for any term bonds and corresponding mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation, in the order determined by the School Corporation, any term bonds maturing on the same date which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than as a result of a previous mandatory redemption requirement) or delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation. Each term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by the Paying Agent at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory obligations and the principal amount of that term bond to be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly reduced; provided, however, the Paying Agent shall credit such term bonds only to the extent received on or before fortyfive days preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date. Notice of any mandatory sinking fund redemption will be mailed

by first class mail by the Paying Agent not less than 30 days prior to the date selected for redemption to the registered owners of all of the Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books of the Registrar; provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing or a defect in the notice or the mailing as to such Bonds will not affect the validity of any proceedings for redemption as to any other Bonds for which notice is adequately given. Notice having been mailed, such Bonds designated for redemption will, on the date specified in such notice, become due and payable at the then applicable redemption price. On presentation and surrender of such Bonds in accordance with such notice at the place at which the same are expressed in such notice to be redeemable or as otherwise agreed to by the School Corporation and set forth in the Bonds, such Bonds will be redeemed by the Paying Agent for that purpose. From and after the date of redemption so designated, unless default is made in the redemption of such Bonds, interest on such Bonds designated for redemption will cease. INTEREST RATES. Each bid submitted must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest therefor, not exceeding the maximum per annum interest rate hereinbefore specified. Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of one-eighth (1/8) or oneone hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1.00%). Bids specifying more than one interest rate must also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate. All Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate of interest. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the total dollar cost to final maturity and the true net interest cost on the entire issue to which such bid relates. BIDDING DETAILS. Any person interested in submitting a bid for the Bonds must furnish written notice of such intent along with such person’s name, address and telephone number, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time), March 26, 2019, to the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth above. The person may also furnish a telex, facsimile number or e-mail address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person or entity registered in PARITY® will be automatically deemed to have complied with the foregoing requirements for so long as such person or entity is registered in PARITY®. In addition to sending the notice on PARITY®, the School Corporation will cause each person so registered to be notified of the date and time bids will be received for the Bonds not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the date and time of sale. The notification shall be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and also by telex or facsimile and electronically if a telex or facsimile number or e-mail address has been furnished. No conditional bid or bids for less than ninety-nine and onehalf percent (99.50%) of the par value of the Bonds will be considered. The School Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality in any bid. If no acceptable bid is received on the date fixed for sale of the Bonds, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, but if so continued, no bid will be accepted which offers a net interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for the sale. A bidder for the Bonds may purchase bond insurance to guarantee the repayment of the debt service of the Bonds from a bond insurance company; provided, however, the payment of any premium for any such bond insurance will be paid by the successful bidder from its discount bid, and will not be paid by the School Corporation. Each of the bids for the Bonds not submitted via PARITY® shall (i) be sealed in an envelope if mailed, or with a cover page if sent electronically or via facsimile, marked “Carmel Clay Schools, Indiana, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019”; (ii) be on the form approved by the School Corporation, without additions, alterations or erasures, which form may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth herein; and (iii) be delivered to the Municipal Advisor on behalf of the School Corporation at the applicable address or facsimile number set forth above.

Bidders must comply with the requirements of PARITY® in addition to requirements of this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds if the bidder is using PARITY®. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules of PARITY® and this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds shall control. CLOSED AUCTION. Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale period for the Bonds, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g. whether their bid is the leading bid). AMENDMENTS. The School Corporation reserves the right to amend any information contained in this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds. The School Corporation also reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date established for the receipt of bids on the Bonds. Any such amendment or postponement will be announced in the same manner as the notice of the sale from the Municipal Advisor as described in “BIDDING DETAILS.” If any date fixed for the sale is postponed, any alternative sale date will be announced at least 24 hours prior to such alternative sale date. BASIS FOR AWARD. The sale of the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder making a bid that conforms to the specifications herein and which produces the lowest Net Interest Cost to the School Corporation. The Net Interest Cost is determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds from the date of delivery to the date of maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, if applicable, and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or adding thereto the amount of any discount. In the event of a bidder’s error in net interest cost rate calculations, the interest rates and premium, if any, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Official Bid Form will be considered as the intended bid. In the event that the School Corporation fails to receive a bid on the Bonds from at least three Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the School Corporation shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the School Corporation, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the School Corporation treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-bymaturity basis. For purposes of this Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, (a) the term “Public” shall mean any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter, (b) the term “related party” means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly, (c) the term “Underwriter” means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the School Corporation (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public), (d) the term “Underwriters” means more than one Underwriter, and (e) the term “Holding Period” means the period starting on the date the School Corporation awards the Bonds to the Purchaser (the “Sale Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public at prices that are no higher than the initial offering price for such maturity of the Bonds. Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with

OFFICIAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO SELL BONDS $22,415,000 (Preliminary, Subject to Change) CARMEL CLAY SCHOOLS, INDIANA GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2019 respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the School Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt of each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the Public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue price of, and the yield on, the Bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the School Corporation’s bond counsel. GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. The Purchaser will be required to provide to the School Corporation a good faith deposit (the “Deposit”) in the form of cash, a certified check or a cashier’s check or a wire transfer in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Bonds to be issued. The Deposit must be provided to the School Corporation no later than 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the business day immediately following the award of the Bonds. All checks shall be made payable to “Carmel Clay Schools”, against default by the Purchaser in complying with the terms of this Notice and of its bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds awarded to the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser fails or refuses to comply with the provisions of the bid and this Notice, the Deposit shall become the property of the School Corporation and shall be taken and considered as liquidated damages of the School Corporation on account of such failure or refusal. The Purchaser will be required to make payment for the Bonds in Federal Reserve or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at a bank designated by the School Corporation. Any premium bid must be paid in cash at the time of delivery as a part of the purchase price of the Bonds. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within sixty (60) days after the date on which the award is made, and if not deliverable within that period, the Purchaser will be entitled to rescind the sale and the Deposit will be returned. Any notice of rescission must be in writing. At the request of the School Corporation, the Purchaser shall furnish to the School Corporation, simultaneously with or before delivery of the Bonds, a certificate in form satisfactory to the School Corporation regarding the price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity was reoffered to the public. It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bonds nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the School Corporation or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing or typing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the School Corporation. The Purchaser will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE. The Bonds are issued under the provisions of the Indiana Code to provide the School Corporation with funds to pay for all or a portion of the costs of the Project as described and defined in the resolution adopted by the Board of School Trustees of the School Corporation on February 25, 2019, as more fully described in the Preliminary Official Statement, together with the expenses necessarily incurred in connection therewith, including the expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are a general obligation of the School Corporation payable from ad valorem property taxes on all taxable property within the School Corporation as described in more detail in the Preliminary Official Statement. BOND DELIVERY. At the time of delivery of the Bonds, the

approving opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana, Bond Counsel, as to the validity of the Bonds, together with a transcript of the proceedings for the Bonds, the printed Bonds and closing certificates in the customary form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the Purchaser at the expense of the School Corporation. In addition, unless bond counsel is able, on the date of delivery, to render an opinion to the effect that (1) under existing laws, regulations, judicial decisions and rulings, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes, and (2) the interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation in the state of Indiana for all purposes except the state financial institutions tax, the Purchaser shall have the right to rescind the sale, and in such event the Deposit will be returned.

By awarding the Bonds to the Purchaser, the School Corporation agrees that, no more than seven (7) business days after the date of such award, it shall provide to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, up to ten (10) copies of the Official Statement at the School Corporation’s expense, any additional copies to be at the expense of the underwriting syndicate. The School Corporation designates the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each participating underwriter.
