The Carmel Redevelopment Commission discussed the delays associated with the construction of The Mezz building, a residential structure located behind The Palladium with some retail on the first floor. Duke Energy took longer than expected to relocate utility lines and that delay caused extra expenses for the developer, Anderson Birkla, and has pushed back the move in date for some tenants. As a result, the CRC discussed whether there could be some reimbursement for these added expenses, considering the CRC is set to pay more than $200,000 for utility relocation. Lawyers advised that it might be hard to ask for reimbursement since no agreement was made with that issue. The CRC voted to pay its bill to Duke Energy. “Do we get to take a year to pay them like they took a year to get it moved?” commissioner Jeff Worrell said, joking because of his frustration regarding the delays. “It has been more than frustrating,” commissioner Dave Bowers agreed.

Brainard, Sharp differ on Carmel debt By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel mayor Jim Brainard and his challenger, city council president Rick Sharp, faced off April 1 in a packed room at the Carmel election Clay Public Library for a debate. Indianapolis Star columnist Matthew Tully and opinion editor Tim Swarens were the co-moderators for the 75-minute debate. On some topics, Brainard and Sharp agreed, such as how they both support approving a human rights ordinance to outlaw discrimination for sexual orientation and gender identity, similar to Indianapolis. One topic seemed to dominate the debate: Carmel’s debt. When asked what separated himself from the mayor, Sharp simply responded: “A billion dollars in debt.” Brainard responded by saying it was more like $600 million in debt because it should not include the interest because the debt can always be refinanced to a lower interest rate. He said Sharp is misrepresenting the facts. “It’s like the swallows coming back, it seems like every four years we have a debt crisis,” Brainard said. Brainard went on to say that Carmel residential taxpayers only make up three percent of the revenue used to pay off debt. "For those who are trying to alarm Carmel

with fuzzy facts about our financial stability, I say look around," he said. Sharp praised Brainard for his past achievements in growing the city, but said it’s now time to pass the baton to new leadership with an eye on fiscal responsibility. “Most of the mayor’s discussion is focused on the past and past accomplishments, which is nice, but I’m focused on the future,” he said. Sharp criticized Brainard for repeatedly stating that Carmel’s strong bond rating meant that there was no problem with the debt. He said a bond rating only measures if you can pay back debt. “Can Carmel repay the debt? We are a very wealthy community. We can pay the debt. We can tax our way out of this problem but that’s not the route I would take,” Sharp said. In his closing statement, Sharp said, “I want to

stop kicking the can down the road." Current in Carmel will host the next mayoral debate on April 21 at The Ritz Charles from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Maximum seating is 640 people, first come, first served with no guest list. Other highlights: • Both Sharp and Brainard came out against discrimination based on sexual orientation. Sharp said he’s happy that Gov. Mike Pence has promised to make clarifications to the law. “I think the governor has shown real leadership,” he said. • More than once, Brainard brought up that in some cases Carmel property tax rates have dropped more than 38 percent in the past 15 years or so, even using visual aid. • Sharp quoted Carmel’s debt at nearly $12,000 per capita, but Brainard said it’s more like $10 per household in property

taxes, even attempting to hand Sharp a ten dollar bill to laughter from the crowd. • When asked about mistakes they regret, Sharp said, "I failed to ask enough questions with The Palladium. That was a huge mistake." Brainard said that he should have worked harder to build consensus before attempting annexation. "I was young. I didn't understand yet how to build consensus." • When asked about annexation, Brainard said it was unfair for areas to receive benefits without paying in with taxes. Sharp agreed that annexation should be done, but criticized the administration for letting the issue linger in the court system. • Brainard defended spending public money to develop the Midtown area because he said it actually costs the city less when optimum density is achieved because the city doesn’t have to build as many roads or add new fire stations or police stations. Sharp said that was a distraction, saying, “It's a subsidy. We can say it's not a subsidy all you want, but it's a subsidy." • When it comes to economic development, Sharp said he would focus less on marketing and target specific industries such as the medical field. Brainard said it’s wiser to use diversification when attracting businesses. The debate was hosted by The Indianapolis Star.

Kristoffs celebrate 30 years

By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com

Thirty years ago, a comfy-looking waiting area complete with fireplace welcomed the patients of Kristoff Family Denback in the day tistry in the converted house at 121 North Range Line Rd. When Dave and Linda Kristoff decided to move, they wanted to create the same type of cozy greeting. “It was important to us to include the fireplace in the new place,” said Linda. Renovation to the old house, particularly to accommodate new technology and handicapped access, seemed economically unwise. So, they found a former liquor store for sale and renovated extensively. They relocated to 1040 N. Range Line Rd. about 11 years ago. The Kristoffs have always tried to put the “family” feeling into their operations. In addition to the comfortable atmosphere complete with TV sets at every dental chair and WiFi in the waiting room, they are known to cater to their patients whenever the need arises. Dr. Dave talks about times at the old place, when they lived above the office in an apartment. “It wasn’t uncommon to have someone knock at our door during dinner who had something wrong like a cracked denture.” He would then go downstairs to the office and fix the problem. They carried their commitment to their patients and the community to the new location.

For example, they are charter members of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and continue to support the organization’s efforts. They have witnessed the dramatic transformation of Carmel and believe that two changes in particular have been beneficial. During the early days of the chamber, “we talked about two things that Carmel really needed,” said Dr. Dave. “One was that we needed more parks, and the other was that we need apartments for young people who couldn’t afford to buy a house.” Both have been accomplished. They agree that Carmel still maintains a smalltown feel but one with plenty of options for a variety of people.

Parking permits expire soon for local businesses By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com

As the weather warms, more visitors are expected to fill the Carmel Arts & Design District. District As it was stated in a previous Current in Carmel article, business owners have often expressed concerns about not enough parking for the customers in the district. As a result, the Carmel Police Dept. is reiterating its parking permit program that was started in 2009. Application forms were sent out to businesses and officers stopped by and handed them out. Permits expire annually on June 30 and require a valid driver’s license. These permits will be used in any lot with the arts district logo on them. The permits do not allow people to park in three-hour parking signs and 15-minute loading/unloading zone signs without the arts district logo. Most three-hour parking restrictions are only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but employees are still encouraged to obtain a permit even if they normally work after 5 p.m. Fraudulent use of the permits can result in towing the vehicles, fines and/or arrest. For questions or to obtain a permit form, call 571-2520.

other pieces at the Holocaust ceremony. One is called “On Eagle’s Wings” and the other was written by Hakes. Bigham said the group has been rehearsing the three pieces since January. The handbells choir usually performs on the third Sunday of each month at all three services. To make it easier for the group’s preparation, the handbells choir will perform “On Eagle’s Wings” on April 19. They’ve also been rehearsing the piece written by Veronica and Hakes since it has become a traditional Mother’s Day performance at the church. They performed Hakes’ other piece earlier in March. Veronica started playing the handbells in the second grade. Her mother had started playing in adult group at St. Luke’s. “It’s become a job, passion, everything pretty much,” Veronica said.

Promoting a passion for reading By Michelle Williams • news@currentzionsville.com The little children of one Carmel neighborhood will not have to travel far at all to borrow a book. They certainly will not need a library youth card to do so, either. Beth Hannah, a junior at Carmel High School, has opened a Little Free Library in her front yard. Fueled by her own passion for reading, she took the initiative to design and build her miniature library from recycled materials she and her father found around their home. Hannah originally learned about the Little Free Library program on the Disney Channel. When she mentioned the idea of opening her own, her parents encouraged her ambition. Little Free Library is an organization founded in Wisconsin. With the help of volunteer stewards like Hannah, more than 2,500 independent Little Free Library locations exist around the globe. The purpose is to promote literacy and a love of reading. Stewards can purchase box kits or make one from their own design when joining the program. “I’m 100 percent pro-reading,” explains Hannah. She plans to attend college and major in literature. Her wish is to inspire others with her enthusiasm for reading. She opened her Little Free Library on March 21, but plans to hold a Grand Opening event in early April. She has invited several of the neighborhood children, and will offer cupcakes and lemonade

Beth Hannah and her completed library. (Submitted photo) to those who attend. One of the benefits of becoming a steward for the Little Free Library organization is to encourage neighbors to drop by and visit. Neighbors are also invited to contribute books to the collection. Many of her neighbors have already started to inquire about the library. Hannah’s library post features two reading stools made from salvaged pieces of a maple tree from her family’s yard. She shared that seeing the neighborhood kids sitting and reading warms her heart. Community members are welcome to attend the grand opening to be held at 101 Harrowgate Dr., Carmel, on April 11 from 10 a.m. - noon.

But John Boss IV, of Carmel, and a senior sales coordinator with profile Orchard Software, isn’t your typical 30-year-old basketball fan. This month, Boss gave back to the community by volunteering with Indy Sports Corporation as a site coordinator for the Final Four; and thanks to years of hard work plus a kind employer he was able to help basketball-loving kids. Growing up Boss was an athletic child playing baseball, basketball and golf. He worked at Pebble Brook golf course from ages 14-21. His love of sports then took him in a different direction: basketball managing. While at Carmel High School from 1999-2003 Boss managed the basketball team. “The simple way I’ve always explained it is the manager does everything but play. You’re helping the coaches get ready whether it’s in the season or not, getting ready for practice, getting ready for games, getting the court set up, making sure they have the gear they need,” said Boss of his duties as manager. After graduating from Carmel High School Boss attended Indiana University. He applied for a position as a basketball manager and after a grueling month-long interview process he was given the position. Managers work 30-50 hours per week while attending school and are held to

Carmel dancer heads to NYC By Megan Gross • news@currentincarmel.com Twelve-year-old Leah Danek will be competing in the Youth America Grand Prix International Finals this month in New achievement York City – the world’s largest and one of the most prestigious student ballet competitions. Described as ‘The Olympics of Classical Ballet,’ the glamorous YAGP Finals brings together more than 1,200 of the world’s most promising dancers (ages 9- 19) from around the world. Danek is a student at Ballet Theatre of Carmel at Performer’s Edge, and has been since she was six years old. The Ballet Theatre of Carmel at Performer’s Edge has presented several dancers at the YAGP Finals throughout the past four years. This will be Danek’s second time competing as a soloist. She has attended two other years as part of an ensemble. This year, Danek will present her Classical Ballet Solo, an excerpt from the Ballet Coppélia. In addition to being named a YAGP finalist, Danek is a three-time first place winner in her age category (9 – 11) at past YAGP Semi-Finals in both Indianapolis and Chicago. Danek has also been named a finalist for the upcoming Indianapolis International Ballet Competition (IIBC).

Injured dog rescued by driver

By Anna Skinner • news@currentincarmel.com

On the night of March 24, Carmel resident Meaghann Fisher witnessed a dog getting hit by a car and then good samaritan dragged for a couple hundred feet. Fisher stopped to help the dog at 16th and Tibbs in Indianapolis. “His ankle was broken and there was a huge laceration on his leg that was completely open to the bone and the knee was skinned to the muscle,” Fisher said. “If it was my dog, I would want someone to stop and help him.” Fisher started calling emergency vet clinics, searching for help for the dog. However, since there was no verified owner, the clinics rejected Fisher’s request for help. Unless Fisher was willing to pay the approximate $5,000 dollars in medical fees, they refused to see or treat the dog. Luckily, Fisher discovered Companion Animal Medical Center in Carmel on Range Line Road. They took the dog and christened him “Tibbs.” Whitney Smith, the veterinarian on duty that night, opened a temporary “house account” for the medical bills. Due to the extent of his injuries, the surgeons at CAMC amputated Tibbs’s hind right leg. Fisher set up a GoFundMe account to help pay the dog’s medical bills. Her goal is $5,000, and currently she has raised a little over $1,000. Any-

one interested in donating can reach the site at www.gofundme.com/pyg56c. Tibbs also needs a loving home. Fisher cannot adopt him due to the requirements of her apartment complex. “I really hope we can find him a good loving home, he’s been through so much already with being hit by a car and having his back leg amputated. He needs a good home with good food and scratches and a warm bed,” Fisher said. Anyone interested in adopting the dog, please contact CAMC at 844-0049. Tibbs will not require any therapy for his amputated leg, just a home to recover in.

Candidates speak: Do you eliminate the clerk-treasurer position?

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

During this election season, candidates for the Carmel City Council have been asked about issues that affect the citizens election of Carmel. One topic is whether Carmel should become a “second-class city” which would eliminate the elected clerk-treasurer position and replace it with an appointed city controller and an elected clerk. The change would also add two more seats to the Carmel City Council. Candidates for council shared their thoughts at a recent forum and through phone interviews.

that it’s time that we have someone who has been appointed that has the professional qualifications. With our fire department, we wouldn’t think of having someone who has not been a seasoned veteran firefighter as the chief. We would not think of hiring someone as city engineer who is not an engineer and doesn’t have a great deal of professional credentials. We would not think of hiring a police chief who doesn’t have the qualifications of a long service on the police department.” Ron Houck “First off, I believe in a strong system of checks and balances. I believe the clerk-treasurer’s office provides the system that we need for appropriate management of our finances. I believe an elected official best represents you rather than an appointed official. So I favor keeping Houck the clerk-treasurer’s position currently.” Kevin “Woody” Rider “Second-class city and we’ve had a lot of these conversations, I’m a supporter of it, the representation is a big part of it.

find a better dynamic with nine representatives and during our negotiations with the mayor on this topic during the many different times it has come up, he did agree at one point in time for the council to approve who is appointed. Never forget that everybody thinks that the clerktreasurer is the stop-gap. The city council votes on financial needs of the city. We have the final say. We can cut anything. We can’t add, but if we don’t say so the money doesn’t get spent.” Northwest District (unopposed) Laura Campbell “When you look at the size of Carmel, Fishers is a second-class city and so is Noblesville and I think for the size of the city that expanding the size of our council could make sense. Carmel is continuing to grow so it makes sense to add more council members and to have that representation. I understand the concerns about Campbell transparency when you don’t have an elected clerk-treasurer, but at the same time that can’t be the only excuse to not move forward. So I’d like to put some safeguards in place to ensure transparency with an appointed city controller.” To read what more council candidates have to say about this, visit currentincarmel.com.

When the Frenzels decided to end their fundraiser, ICWF executive director Terry Ceaser-Hudson ask the Frenzels if a fundraiser could be held in Tyler’s honor called Pulling for Wishes. The fifth annual Pulling for Wishes Airplane Pull will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on April 25 at the Republic Holdings Hanger at the Indianapolis International Airport. Ceaser-Hudson said she loves all the families she meets. “But there are certain people that you become attached to and the Frenzels were that to us,” she said. “We love the Frenzels. Tyler was a really special kid. While all the children are wonderful, there are certain ones that just stand out and he was a standout. He was everything you want any child to be. To be so young and deal what he was dealing with and thinking of others, I just thought it was a good match.” ICWF grants wishes for children ages 3-18 with life-threatening illnesses. ICWF has granted more than 3,200 wishes in the past 31 years, ranging from Disney World, meeting celebrities, shopping trips and many more. Tyler took his wish trip by going with his family to Disney World in January 2004. Tyler had two younger sisters, Maria, now a Guerin Catholic High School senior, and Kacey, an

children with illness, hardship or other special needs. Enis was named after one of Rolen’s beloved dogs. Tyler gave $2,000 of his own money to help build a treehouse at Camp Emma Lou, named for another of Rolen’s dogs. Two of the Frenzels’ five fundraisers were for Camp Emma Lou, one was for ex-Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning’s Peyback Foundation, one for ICWF and ex-Colts linebacker Gary Backett’s Impact Foundation. Tyler got to know Manning as he had treatment at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent in Indianapolis. Ceaser-Hudson is hoping the Pulling for Wishes fundraisers will help ICWF send eight families to Camp Emma Lou for a weekend. “It’s a bonding type weekend,” she said “It’s just an extra special thing we can do for our Wish families.”

Orchard Park eighth grader. Another child, J.T. (Jackson Tyler), a St. Louis de Montfort second grader, was born after Tyler’s death. Eric Frenzel, Tyler’s father, is a captain with the Carmel Fire Dept. Tyler was diagnosed with ALL when he was 7. “He did really well then relapsed after 13 months,” Pam said. “So he needed to have a bone marrow transplant. So we started more intensive chemo. He did well with the transplant, got through the 100 days and then 30 days after that he relapses again. He lived two-and-a-half months longer.” During his courageous battle, Tyler became friends with former major league baseball player Scott Rolen, who started the Enis Furley Foundation, which has a Bloomington camp designed to help

The airplane pulls are teams made up of 10 people with a minimum of three women on each team. Last year there were 45 teams. The teams try to pull a 23-ton twin-engine jet 15 feet. The winners are based on the fastest pull time. Eric Frenzel’s team of Carmel firefighters won last year’s pull in 8.03 seconds. “Republic Airways is proud to sponsor this event, but we couldn’t do it without the generosity and support of our sponsors and donors,” said Amy Chiappe, director of Inflight for Republic Airways and chairperson for the event. “Each year, the plane pull gets bigger and better, a testament to the incredible heart and compassion of everyone involved.” Admission for spectators is free. There is a costume contest, silent auction, face painting and concessions. There are corporate sponsorship levels ranging from $25,000 to $500. “Tyler would absolutely love this,” Pam said. “His motto was no limits, never give up.” The Pulling for Wishes fundraiser raised more than $250,000 in 2014. The goal is $300,000 for this year. For more information, visit indianachildrenswishfund.org/events/details/ pulling-for-wishes-airplane-pull-in-memory-of-tyler-frenzel.

Several Carmel High School Advanced Placement Environmental Science students had a special visitor, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, achievement to provide feedback on their energy projects. “He’s very well versed in the energy sector,” science teacher Kara House said. “Our original idea was to present it before him because we knew it was something he was interested in and the kids would get excited about. These Andrews groups were excited and hoping somebody would actually use the information that they found.” The Final Four groups were Wind Energy: Hayden Vossler, Andrew Lapel, Ryan Newey, Hannah Andrews and Caroline Richardson Cooler. Buoyant Airborne Turbines: Marina Cooper, Lexie Dungo, Nathan Fei, Jessica Maginn and Mary Voigt. Wind/Solar Energy: Jake Ellison, Isaac Andrews, Teri Sharlow and Sylvia Zak. Solar Sidewalks: Blake Richardson, Jennifer Lavely, Alex Odendahl and Ryan Nestor. There were about 50 projects to begin. “The other two teachers and I chose the ones to head to the second round from our in-class presentations,” House said. “That was two from each class so we had 18 that went to the second round. Those groups all made a video and we posted those online. A panel of experts from energy sector and in education viewed all the videos and supplied feedback. We scored them on environmental and economic aspects. We to-

taled up all the scores and picked the Final Four.” Richardson’s group favored Solar Sidewalks. “We researched both wind, solar and lots of renewable energy to help the future of Carmel,” Richardson said. “We talked how the future is right for green energy and we have a lot of options that will help provide electricity for Carmel.” Richardson, a senior, said the teachers and students in the class asked questions to prepare them for giving a presentation to the mayor. Vossler, a junior, said his group decided on wind over solar. Dungo “The great thing about wind is you don’t have it in Carmel, you can always go to Northern Indiana and travel the energy to power or grid lines to Carmel,” Vossler said. “It was very challenging to do it for the Mayor but Miss House made Vossler sure to ask us questions and prepare us for every possible scenario it could run through.” Senior Andrews’ group gave a presentation on wind and solar. “We noticed the pros of wind and solar made up for the cons of the other one,” Andrews said. “For example, it’s hard to put a spot for all those wind mills. But solar energy you can put on the roofs of your houses and of course we would offer a tax deduction for that.” Dungo, a junior, offered airborne turbines as an alternative. “We thought outside the box with it and it was interesting to research it and work together on it,” Dungo said.

CHS cheers ‘checkmate’ once again By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School’s Chess Team is back on top with another checkmate at this year’s State Championship in Terra Haute on clubs March 21. The team was comprised of Kevin Mi (Senior), Samuel Philleo (Sophomore), Joseph Philleo (Junior), and Matthew Pittler (Sophomore). The teams were closely matched, but, with great focus, Carmel ended up winning by half a match point in the end. Joseph Philleo said, “I think that when it came down to it in the final round, we were just the more determined team and that's what really enabled us to win.” The Philleo brothers have been playing chess since they were six years old and would say they are equally matched opponents. They have spent this year leading the chess club with the main objective being to learn and have fun. When entering the championship, the team was uncertain about their chances for a win. In years past they experienced more confidence, but this year they were hoping to simply do their best. The championship game was against Canterbury High School. Joseph Philleo explained that the statistics showed the odds were against them but they worked hard and overcame. The entire team worked hard against the odds. Joseph said, “The team had began the last round hoping for a draw and ended up sweeping the highest rated high school chess team in the

state!” What sets Carmel Chess Club apart from other clubs is their desire to keep things fun and enjoy the game above all else. They each enjoy the process of playing the game and exploring the intricacies of chess in such a way that allows the enjoyment to trump the skill and victory. This helps the team work great under pressure and win matches that ultimately give Carmel the State Championship title! Joseph said, “To everyone reading, I encourage you to find something that you really enjoy doing, even if it's just a 64-squared board game, and do that thing simply because you enjoy doing it. And who knows, you may even end up winning an award for it eleven years later!”

Feuding family

FR O M   T H E BA C K S H O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pence getting awful advice Gov. Mike Pence, who signed into law the contentious Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is taking his fair share of fire from everywhere, much like he did when he announced the formation of a state-run news bureau. While he reeled that initiative back in quickly, he presses forward with the RFRA, but wants changes in the legislation. State Republican legislators said last Thursday that the law will be amended to point out no person or persons will “be able to discriminate against anyone at any time.” Pence was on a national TV caravan of sorts, telling viewers in last week, “I abhor discrimination.” Pence said that he stood by the law and there was never any intent to create a “license to discriminate.” Our state – and, more to the point, our business community - is under duress over the passage of a law that would allow, if not rewritten, businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation and other viewpoints. Pence had expected a revision of the legislation on his desk by the end of last week. The real question, in our opinion, is: Who is advising this guy with the tin ear? Is he nothing more than a yes man to them? While we believe it is a business owner’s right to refuse to serve any potential customer, we never would exercise that right. Shoot, if the ghost of Ted Kennedy came into our offices with a check for advertising a “How to (mis)handle liquor” campaign, we’d cash that check. That’s why we’re in business - last we looked - to make money. This act already is proving a drain on not only dollars, but also talent and potential business relocation and event/tourism opportunities. The RFRA doesn’t apply at our company – and it never will - for we welcome the opportunity to interact with and assist folks of varying faiths, color and lifestyles. With bad advice, Pence has thumbed his nose at the business sector, among others. Hey, anyone for separation of church and state? Our founding fathers certainly were, but that premise and practice have gone the way of the running board.

Balancing the road trip

Commentary by Terry Anker

The family road trip is a rite of passage for many in childhood. Parents pack the car with everything needed – a stocked cooler, pillows, blankets, crayons and a short stack of comic books are all must-haves. Smart parents ensure that each kid has their own separate, but equal, array of stuff. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the pleasure of traveling a long distance with a backseat full of nascent humans knows the gambit of emotion that rides along. Laughter, quiet and even sleep are all on the agenda. But, conflict can be expected as well. It all starts with the pressure of confined space, a perceived slight, or a fight over the last banana. Tempers flair and feelings are hurt. These siblings, the same in so many ways, could not be more at odds. The adults driving the family truckster intervene to ensure that the vitriol stays in check. They divide the space, make the kids “stop touching each other”, and usually end with an admonishment to quit “looking” at their brother that way. Essentially, all are urged to keep their

interests balanced against those with whom they are careening along the highway – to get a little perspective. Since our nation’s founding, Americans have debated, sometimes in a civil way and sometimes not so much, how to draw the line between the various competing freedoms of individual persons. “How dare your liberty impinge on mine?” “What?! It is your liberty that is disrupting me.” Make no mistake, debates like these matter. They help us define property rights, personal autonomy, and our relative value in the community. But, isn’t the least intervention from the front seat the best? And, shouldn’t we remember that we are all in this journey together? Who wins if our inability to be civil causes us to turn the car around and go home? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

I really hate texting. Besides blowing up your data, communicating via text is the most likely way to end up in a snit with someone. There’s no time or space for long-winded explanations, and certainly no way other than emojis to indicate tone of voice. Mistype or misspell? You can end up with two distinctly different meanings. To wit: “Let’s eat, Grandma!” versus “Let’s eat grandma!” I saw this played out firsthand last week when my four sisters and I were scrambling to come up with our summer availability for Family Feud. That’s right! Steve Harvey called! Well not Steve Harvey himself, but one of his minions. Apparently our embarrassing audition in front of hundreds of other Feud hopefuls was a success, no doubt in thanks to one of my sisters’ remarkable execution of the Worm. Unfortunately, and I suppose ironically, trying to coordinate our calendars ended in a minor family feud of our own. The controversial incident started with the fact that we live in five different cities. Synchronizing a three-day stretch between May and August when we can all ditch our jobs, husbands and kids to travel to Georgia is like trying to juggle lit torches, buzzing chainsaws and poopy diapers: It can be done, but only by using extreme caution. A fourth of the dates Feud offered us are while school is in session, not the most convenient for me, the teacher, but perfect for my middle sister, the stay-at-home mom. Our annual family reunion week in July was a no for all of us, and my youngest sister couldn’t do June because she’s just come off a threemonth maternity leave. That left only a few stretches where we could all conceivably get away from work and motherhood. Slowly but surely the texts changed from “I can make these dates but not these” to “Some of us have to work for a living!” and “Why aren’t you making FF a priority?” When I saw “If you can find the time between carpooling and traveling to Europe, give me a call,” I knew two of my sisters were getting nasty. Thank God they recognized the need for clarification through a phone call before they threw down with frown-y faces. Sure enough, they were reading into the messages way more than what was intended. This is Family Feud, ladies, not Family Rude! We’re supposed to fight against the other family, not ourselves. And let’s also remember that even if the Top One Hundred People Surveyed say texting is the best method for communicating efficiently, we should all recognize that lengthy and/or potentially emotional discussions should be addressed by phone. Right Grandma? Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

How I learned to book Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I are attending an alumni dinner at George Washington University in DC. My wife booked the airfare but asked me to make the hotel reservations. I find discount websites like Expedia, humor Priceline and Travelocity very confusing, but I decided to try my hand at it. I opted for Kayak so I could tell friends I went Kayaking, which sounds macho and is much easier to say than Expedia…ing. I wanted to stay at the University Inn, a historic hotel near the university. I clicked on it and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. Notification quickly arrived confirming three nights. I showed Mary Ellen the email. She examined it carefully. ““Dick, didn’t we want a hotel near campus?” “Of course. Aren’t we close?” “About 2,300 miles. Well, at least we’re in Washington.” Sure enough, I had booked us at the University Inn...in Seattle. We would have definitely been late for dinner. Panicked, I called the University Inn in DC (directly, this time), to book a room but when the confirmation didn’t come right away, I called back. “Sorry, Sir, I don’t see your name. Would

you like to book something now?” “Yes, yes. I need a reservation for three nights.” “You want to eat here three nights in a row?” “Isn’t this the hotel?” “No, this is the University Inn Restaurant.” I called my friend Mark and told him the story about booking the Seattle hotel by mistake. I mentioned I became a little suspicious when I saw the low rate they offered. Mark interjected, “May I ask how good a deal?” “About 150 a night.” “Wow, 150 a night! How can you pass that up?” “IT’S THE WRONG CITY!” “Just tell me, was breakfast included?” The next morning I told Mary Ellen about my plans for the day. “I’m going to see a newspaper editor in Lebanon.” “Just in case, better take your passport.”

Any plans for mid-priced housing? Editor, I read with interest and growing excitement the article in this week’s Current in Carmel about the two development companies joining forces to build apartments and condos in an area they are calling The Midtown West Development. Apartments are abundant in Carmel, but mid-priced condos

are not. I will be eagerly awaiting further news on this project, such as start date and timeline. Hopefully we will soon have news of a condominium project that is designed for buyers who have more modest budgets, but who still want decent, low-maintenance housing. Pamela Woods-Jackson, Carmel

Veterans ‘continue to be shut out’ Commentary by BG James L. Bauerle USA Ret.

Team Soccer Stadium scored a major victory last week in the second half of the Indiana General Assembly Political Game. Their opponent, veterans, continue to be shut out! Senator Long, lead a huge $20 MILopinion LION score that will be hard for veteran advocates to overcome thanks to the lobbying efforts by Team Soccer Stadium. Senators for veterans have been unable to crack the staunch defenses of the administration and select leadership in charge of key committees. During the first half of this political game House Representatives for veterans were also blanked and at half time of the General Assembly game, nothing related to finance survived. Fans for the veterans will have to step up and cheer loudly if veterans are to get in the game. Matching the $20 Million score will be very difficult as the “‘pretty big wish list’ that ought to have been pared down” must have been a foul play as it was cited with a yellow card. Advocates are not professionals, they are passionate armatures working for the needs of veterans, and telling legislators, they know they will not get it all. This appears to be an offending maneuver play. In previous General Assembly tourney financial seasons, veterans lost big; looks bad this political season again. Miracles can happen, maybe in “extra time” during reconciliation between the Senate and House – Let’s hope veteran’s legislators keep trying and at least the final score will not be a shutout.

Editor, I don’t know whether to feel privileged or punished by the unwanted political solicitations that have been showing up in my email inbox and my mailbox. I didn’t ask to be included on the list, I don’t even agree with the assertions made in these communications, but what is ironic is that the politician who wants to be mayor thinks that we as voters are completely isolated from reality. If you are like me you currently live in what is becoming known as the “Best City.” Carmel’s Palladium, Farmers Market, 160 miles of paved trails, a city park system that’s second to none, world-renowned infrastructure including roundabouts and connectivity, highly ranked schools, low crime, free events, unparalleled beatification, ever increasing jobs and low taxes have landed our city at the top or at least in the top ten lists

of literally dozens of national rankings of quality of life, economy, safety and opportunity. THE OBVIOUS REASON WHY WE LIVE IN THE BEST CITY is great leadership. All these amazing city assets don’t happen on accident, these things happened because of vision, competence, great teamwork (despite having a majority of city council that is so entrenched on trying to prove our mayor wrong that they make decisions that are bad for our community), and overall strong management. Our mayor is a big reason for our success. The doom and gloom arguments of his opponents don’t make sense and would ultimately in my opinion knock Carmel off of the “Best City” lists. That is a future that I don’t want. Joshua A. Kirsh Planning Commissioner & Park Board Officer

Editor, Retired and living at Mohawk Hills for 18+ years now. Since the roundabouts came along, traffic has changed a great deal. When traveling to Kroger, I have to turn east on 126th as turning west is nearly impossible. Coming back a side street is taken to travel to Auman Drive to make the commute home a bit easier. Eliminating the stop sign (cause and effect) will produce many problems during rush hour. With no “stop sign,” traffic will flow freely during rush hour. Any traffic westbound from Keystone (north bound and south bound) plus west bound traffic on 126th street will create chaos. With out the current “stop and go” at Auman Drive, motorists will have the opportunity to freely drive east bound with no problem. West bound traffic will be backed up in front of the Mohawk Hills complex due to virtually no chance of turning left, into the complex; this will back up S C A B

west bound 126th street and will carry over into the lanes coming in from both north and south Keystone, not to mention west bound from 126th street, from across keystone avenue (Brookshire, etc.). The roundabouts will be bottled up, blocking east bound traffic on 126th that either wants to enter Keystone Avenue (either direction). It’s a complete bottleneck during rush hour. Currently during rush hour, eastbound 126th creates only about a two minute wait in a continuously moving line of traffic, or about the same time it takes to clear the lights at 96th Street and Keystone north bound. Please, city leaders, experience this first hand during rush hour traffic before blindly passing an ordinance to remove the stop sign on Auman Drive. You will see how smoothly traffic flows, all ways. Thank you for your time. Jimmy Hunter, Carmel

A postcard of Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in the 1950s at its 19th and Alabama streets location.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre celebrates 100 years By Alec Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com A Carmel theater will soon be wrapping up its 100th season in style. Starting this month, the Booth Tarkanniversary ington Civic Theatre will host a series of events to commemorate the actors, actresses, and productions that have kept it going since its beginning in 1915. The theater’s Director of Development Catherine Dixon is excited about being a part of the organization and its efforts. “I’m super honored to be a part of this organization, and the fact that I’m able to work in the performing arts and serve the community is the most amazing thing to me,” Dixon said. The first event will be the “100 Years of Civic Theatre Exhibit,” to be held April 16 in the Tarkington Theater lobby. It archives the last 100 years, and is divided into three sections: imagination, education and participation. Alyssa Boge, a museum studies student at IUPUI, archived and catalogued the exhibit, and James Sholly, who owns Commercial Artisan, designed it. The exhibit will remain in the Tarkington lobby through the fall, and a VIP event will be held for longstanding supporters and participants to open the exhibit’s viewing. “They will be the first people to see this exhibit, so it’s been an interesting process locating these folks trying to make sure they’re available for this,” Dixon said. The next event will be “Backstage Exclusive: Spamalot Editon”, also at the Tarkington Theater on April 29 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person. The community will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Tarkington prior to opening night of “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT.” It’s based off a children’s program called “Backstage Pass.” The adults can see the entire set, including the sound booth, dressing rooms and prop department. The “Backstage Exclusive” involves a scavenger hunt and beer available throughout the building, sponsored by Monarch Beverages. Dixon believes that the Tarkington is a community resource, and

is excited about sharing the theater. “This is our way that they get to see the behind the scenes stuff, which being in the industry you tend to take it for granted, because if I need to go to the dressing room, I just go up on stage and go back there; but for a lot of people, this is a very interesting opportunity, and we want to make sure people are able to do that,” Dixon said. Following the Backstage Exclusive is the Mad Hatter and Twist-

ed Tea Parties on June 13. The Mad Hatter will include two performances of Jr. Civic’s “Alice in Wonderland, Jr.”In between those performances, children will be able to enjoy a meet and greet with show characters, get their faces painted and enjoy refreshments. The event runs from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with tickets costing $10 per child. Following the children’s tea party will be the Twisted Tea Party, which is an adult event. It celebrates and supports Civic’s education and outreach programs with special alumni performances, awards, music, a cash bar and refreshments. Tickets are $45 per person, and the event runs from 7 to 10 p.m. The last event will be the Centennial Gala on June 20 at 6 p.m., a black-tie event celebrating the theater’s 100th birthday. Tickets are $250 each. It will take place at the historic home where Booth Tarkington once lived. Booth Tarkington Civic Theater Executive Director John Hedges said that the gala is a celebration “a century in the making.” “If you can’t have a big party when you turn 100, when can you have a big party?” Hedges said. “So we hope to really have a big celebration on June 20. We’ve already gotten a procHedges lamation from the mayor of Carmel. We look forward to having some sort of proclamation from the governor of the state, and just to have it be a big celebration.” Hedges wants people to know that the Civic Theatre is more than just a place that puts on plays and performances. He says the theatre’s role “is to be a catalyst for a more tolerant, empathetic, imaginative and enlightened society.” “Through seeing life from someone else’s point of view and figuratively ‘walking in their shoes’, there can emerge a greater sense of empathy and understanding for others—and for ourselves. It is through this work of ‘holding the mirror up to nature’ that we as theatre artists make an essential contribution to our society,” said Hedges.

Loretta Lynn visits The Palladium By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com For more than 50 years, country music star Loretta Lynn has been spreading her gift of song across America. Now for the diversion first time, Hamilton County resident will get to experience her voice in person at The Center for the Performing Arts. Coming to town April 24, Loretta Lynn will be making her first ever appearance at the Palladium. After finding out Lynn was planning to do a series of events in the Midwest, the CFPA quickly reached out to her. “Last December we learned that Loretta Lynn had a handful of Midwest dates available for performances so we wasted no time in contacting her management and extending an invitation,” CFPA CEO Tania Castroverde-Moskalenko said. “To have such a legendary and iconic artist on the Palladium stage is an honor for us, so obviously we were ecstatic when the date was confirmed.” With Lynn being one of the most iconic country music singers of all time, Moskalenko is sure that her performance will be one to remember. “For 50 years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful—and as culturally significant—as any female performer you’d care to name.,” Moskalenko said. “‘The Coal Miner’s Daughter’ has

This is one concert you don’t want to miss!” While Lynn is the main event of the evening, guests will also get to experience a native Indiana band at the show as well. “There will be an opening act, Walker County Band, a family band from Sulphur Springs,” Moskalenko said. “At lead vocals, Ivy Dene Walker, 19-years-old, is a power-house with outstanding [vocal] range and little sis, Sophie Dawn Walker, plays the drums and harmonizes beautifully. Walker County brings soulfulness with an underlying tone of southern rock and traditional country.” Moskalenko believes the event to be a soldout show, so be sure to order your tickets early.

What to expect in pregnancy Commentary by James Smith, MD Women experiencing first pregnancies often wonder if the body changes and symptoms they feel are normal. While every women woman is different—and every pregnancy is different—there are some common symptoms of pregnancy that many women share. Fatigue – Even early in the first trimester, pregnant women may feel tired. Like many pregnancy symptoms, fatigue is often caused by higher levels of pregnancy hormones. Women experiencing fatigue should get plenty of rest and eat foods rich in protein and iron. Nausea – Nausea is a well-known side effect of pregnancy, but not every woman experiences it. And while it’s often referred to as “morning sickness,” nausea in pregnant women can happen at any time of day. Food cravings or aversions – Women often crave or are turned off by certain foods when they are pregnant. These cravings and aversions are caused by hormonal changes and can last for the entire pregnancy. Women who are expecting should eat a nutritious and balanced diet. Back pain – Many women experience back pain during pregnancy as the increasing size and weight of the uterus puts more strain on the back. To alleviate pain, avoid standing or sitting

for long periods and try not to arch the back too much when standing. Difficulty sleeping – Hormonal changes, as well as discomfort later in pregnancy can cause many women to have trouble sleeping. Daily exercise can help. It’s also important to maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid caffeine and long naps during the day. Breast tenderness – Breast changes, including tenderness, are common in pregnancy. Tenderness usually subsides after the first trimester, but breast changes are present throughout pregnancy. Veins may become more visible, and stretch marks may appear. Vaginal discharge – Some women may experience changes in vaginal discharge. Thin, milkywhite discharge is normal during pregnancy. Remember that pregnancy causes significant changes in the body, and it’s not uncommon to experience a wide range of symptoms or side effects during this time. Talk with your doctor or obstetrician about any pregnancy symptoms during regular prenatal visits. James Smith, MD, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – IU Health North Hospital, 11725 N. Illinois St., Suite. 350, in Carmel. He can be reached by calling 317.688.5200.

Two super healthy veggies –Research has shown these two vegetables to be high in antioxidants, which are known cancer fighters. Mushrooms contain B vitamins, zinc, potassium, copper, selenium, iron and magnesium. It’s important to eat organically grown mushrooms, however, as they absorb whatever substance they are grown in.

Goldfish instructors well prepared By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Kayla Eads is able to blend her two passions into her job at Goldfish Swim School in Carmel. She went to college to swimming interpret American Sign Language and for deaf studies at Madonna University in Livonia, Mich., and was a competitive swimmer for two years at Clawson (Mich.) High School. “So I’m able to bring those two passions together,” Eads said. Eads, 24, moved from Michigan from where she worked at the Goldfish Swim School at Farmington Hills, Mich., to help open the school in Carmel (271 Merchants Square Dr., Suite A-110) two years ago. Eads, an Indianapolis resident, has taught deaf swim students ranging in ages from four to nine years old. Eads is teaching seven deaf swimmers at this time. “The only difference is that I’m able to communicate with them in sign language and they understand what they need to do,” Eads said. “We do the same curriculum (as with the other students).” Eads now works part-time at the swim school, as she has become a full-time preschool teacher’s aide at the Indiana School for the Deaf in Indianapolis nine months ago. “I’ve taught lessons before Goldfish and the difference is Goldfish caters directly to children between the ages of four months to 12 years old,” Eads said. “Everything about the facility is inviting

According to their website, Children’s Learning Adventure Childcare Centers aim to, “help your children become confident, independent learners who will develop a strong sense of self-worth, enabling them to make positive life choices.” While the indoor amenities might seem like lots of fun, the company says the goal is to provide, “a nurturing environment for children and an unprecedented level of training to their teachers, which redefines early care and education programs.” The 33,237 square-foot. child care center will cost around $8 million and employ 40 to 60 workers to care for up to 350 students at any one time. Unique amenities include a bowling alley, theater, indoor gym, cooking classroom, library, art studio and more. The site plans to offer infant care, after-school programs and preschool serving for kids six to 12 years old. Parents will securely enter using a fingerprint

But there should be ample parking to accommodate customers with 97 parking spaces in the lot and 25 street parking spaces along College and Rowland Boulevard. According to the commission, 121 parking spaces are required and 122 are provided. Currently, the company has locations built or planned for Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. There’s another Hamilton County location in the works at Indiana Hwy 37 & 131st Street in Fishers.

14 Districts re-launches

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

As the city of Carmel grows, Rebecca Hanson continues to grow her 14 Districts brand. When the Sophia Square business building opened in the heart of the Carmel Arts & Design District, Hanson was one of the first retail tenants, opening up 14 Districts, a women’s clothing store specializing in fashion options not found at other retailers. When The Carmel City Center opened, Hanson expanded with a second location. She started off with a “pop-up” store called 14 Districts Weekend.

Her goal was to offer women’s clothing with a west-coast feel throughout the busy holiday shopping season, but the location was successful and it’s remained. In September, Hanson started a fashion truck called Stylestop. The truck was a huge hit at a sidewalk sales event at the Carmel City Center. As a result, Hanson wants to continue her new stylestop brand in a brick and mortar setting. She’s decided to rebrand her arts district location of 14 Districts into stylestop, “to continue the momentum of that success of the ‘fashion on the go’ concept,” Hanson said.

Restored Arch of Emperor Caracalla in Volubilis, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

Volubilis: Morocco’s Roman City Commentary by Don Knebel

The Roman ruins of Volubilis include a triumphal arch, magnificent mosaics and colonnaded temples. Surprisingly, the ruins are travel in the heart of Morocco and their extensive restoration by the French may have been a political statement. Volubilis lies in a fertile plain at the foot of Mount Zerhoun, 18 miles north of Meknes. Volubilis was founded in the third century B.C. by the Phoenicians, sea-going traders from what is now Lebanon, and became capital of Mauretania. After the Roman Empire annexed Mauretania in 44 A.D., Volubilis became wealthy exporting grain, olive oil and exotic animals for gladiator battles, eventually reaching a population of about 20,000. An aqueduct supplied water for public baths and sewers transported waste to the river. A large basilica housed administrative offices and temples honored a number of important Roman gods. A ceremonial arch built in the third century paid homage to Emperor Caracalla, famous for his brutality and for granting Roman citizenship to freemen throughout the provinces. In about 285, an over-stretched Roman Empire abandoned Volubilis and the city became Christian, its basilica converted to a church. In the late Eighth Century, after the area had come

WE MOV ’VE ED!

under Islamic control, Moulay Idriss, founder of the Kingdom of Morocco, selected Volubilis as his first capital. When his son moved the capital to nearby Fes, Volubilis began a slow decline, disappearing from history by the eleventh century. The French gained control of Morocco in 1912 and undertook extensive excavations at Volubilis, using thousands of German soldiers captured during World War I. Stripping away and discarding remains of Islamic structures, French archaeologists uncovered grand Roman villas, some with dozens of rooms and many containing well-preserved mosaic floors illustrating mythological and outdoor scenes. Workers completely rebuilt the triumphal arch and partially restored the basilica. Some suspect French colonialists restored Volubilis as an archetypical Roman city to lay claim to a long history of Latin influence in northern Africa and others doubt the authenticity of the extensive reconstructions. Properly restored or not, Volubilis was featured in the final scenes of the 1988 film, “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Not-so-little grammar question Commentary by Jordan Fischer QUESTION: “My sister and I are working on hand-stitching Laura Ingalls Wilder quilts. We are also both reading all the grammar guy Little House on the Prairie books to get into the whole pioneer frame of mind. I was surprised to come across the word ‘boughten,’ which Laura uses to describe anything that is store-bought. I looked it up and it is actually a word! Dictionary.com states that it is a Northern and North Midland U.S. nonstandard word. I am from Illinois and we never used that word. It’s always been “store-bought” when describing items that were not hand-made. Do people still use this word today or is it now out of fashion. Or was it a perfectly acceptable word to use at the time of publishing? (Or now, too, for that matter)? It just sounds so weird and incorrect.” – (Becky Kelly) ANSWER: This is a really interesting question, Becky, and I love the “Little House on the Prairie” books, so I’m excited to have received it. The earliest recorded use of “boughten” I could find was 1738. Several sources identify it as a Midwestern word – and it does have that sort of feel to it – but I suspect a better description would be a “homesteader” word. While the “Little House” books first began publishing in the early 1930s, the first few books

Dispatches

were set during Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood in the 1860s in what was essentially the undeveloped wilderness of Wisconsin and Kansas (and later Minnesota). Wisconsin had only been a state at that point for about 20 years (it was entered into the Union in 1848), and Kansas’ statehood was in its infancy (it was admitted into the Union in 1861). All of that is to say that the books take place in parts of the country were language often took an older and more stratified form. Homesteaders often lived far away from one another, keeping contact and exchange of language to a minimum. Access to formal education wasn’t assured, nor was it necessarily a priority. And finally, many of the homesteaders themselves were from an earlier era: Laura’s father Charles Ingalls was born in 1836, and her paternal grandparents (both of whom appear in at least the first book), were born in 1810 and 1812. What it boils down to is that, no, people were probably not saying “boughten” very often by the 1930s when the books were published, but Laura very likely did hear it often growing up on the prairie.

Improved insulation – Known for energy efficient building, David Weekley Homes has announced it will begin using a new sheathing product in its homes called polysio which greatly reduces heat loss through wall framing. It provides a ten percent higher R-value rating in homes. More closet space – Place a shower-curtain ring on the neck of a hanger, and then hang another hanger on it. Shower-curtain hooks also work well for hanging accessories. Slip them on the closet rod, and use them to hang purses, belts, ties, or tote bags filled with stuff that would otherwise be floating around your closet.

The big three things to consider Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The growing thirst for modern outdoor living spaces has fueled stylish visions of patios, decks, fire features, grill staOUTdoors tions, lanais with outdoor TV sets … and the imagination of luxuries continues to blossom! The reality of employing multiple amenities in your backyard can be daunting from a design and a financial perspective. Which commonly results in three critical discussion topics … budget, master design and phasing. Let these measured components serve as the vision and boundaries of implementing your incredible outdoor living space. BUDGET The budget conversation has grown from uncomfortable to now being expected. Often, a few minutes of offering rough costs for the dreamy ideas can help place the correct financial perspective or stimulate creative solutions that still provides some sort of enjoyable space. Return On Investment quickly follows. Some are very concerned while others are more carpe diem. What about you? MASTER DESIGN Think of this as your retirement plan, bucket

list or career path. It functions as your blueprint for success and is closely aligned with the budget. It allows for DIY involvement and/or professionally installed. Likely there are a few “reach” items that could happen if a financial blessing occurs or your Lilly stock doubles and splits again. Make certain the design is to scale, calls out materials, offers some flexibility and fits your needs. PHASING “Can we phase this in over a period of seasons?” Of course you can! Most projects have the capacity of phasing, if properly planned. Generally, starting with hard surfaces (patio, deck, porch, fire feature) followed by landscaping and concluding with optional ideas (grill station, pergola, shade sail, sitting walls) flows best. Each project/budget/design will strongly encourage the sequence and simultaneously leave you thirsting for the next phase. Bring on the barbeque!
