Springtime is here! City: Keep campaign signs on private property By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As the May 7 municipal primary election nears, campaign signs are sprouting like wildflowers throughout the ELECTION city. And — as usual — some of them are disappearing. Carmel Street Dept. crews remove signs when they are placed in the public right-ofway, which violates a local ordinance. City code states that temporary yard signs must be placed on private property a minimum of five feet away from the street right-of-way. “The Carmel Street Dept. routinely removes a variety of signs that are placed in the public right-of-way in violation of Carmel City Code, whether they be political in nature or are real estate, business or other signage,” city spokesman Dan McFeely said. “The city also responds to complaints from the public.” For most Carmel residents, the right-of-way ends at the sidewalk or within several feet of the road. But for Tim Hannon, a first-time candidate facing three council incumbents for three at-large seats on the Carmel City Council, the public right-of-way stretches from Smokey Row Road to his front door. He learned about the unusual right-of-way after a home security system captured video of street department employees removing campaign signs from what he thought was his property the morning of April 2. Hannon went to City Hall to ask why the signs — which were placed between a path-

way and the street — were removed. “They informed us that someone sent an email tipping them off that our property has a unique right-of-way that extends to our front porch, so the signs were in violation of city ordinance,” Hannon posted on his campaign Facebook page. Hannon said he does not know who alerted the city about the unusual right-of-way, and the city did not release that information. Hannon said he was surprised to learn that the right-of-way stretched to his front door, as he has been landscaping it for years. Hannon said he was able to retrieve the signs from the city and plans to set them up elsewhere. “I know yard signs disappear in the middle of the night, but when the city comes to your house and you’re running as a candidate

against incumbents and your yard signs go away, that’s a little bit concerning,” he said. “The biggest (concern) is that signs sat out in the exact same spot four years ago (supporting Mayor Jim Brainard and councilor Bruce Kimball) and didn’t get touched.” Jeff Worrell, the council’s Southeast District incumbent who also is seeking an at-large seat for his second term in office, said there is a learning curve when it comes to knowing where signs may legally be placed. “If I’ve had a supporter who puts a sign in the right-of-way and it gets taken, my position is that I want to play by the rules,” he said. “We should all play by the same rules.” Worrell said his policy is to only place signs in residential yards with the resident’s permission. He said he has never reported illegally placed signs to the city and that he hasn’t visited the street department to pick up any of his signs removed by the city. “This matter of election signs comes up every year,” McFeely said. “We always recommend that candidates for public office let their supporters know to keep campaign signs on their own private property to avoid them being picked up for violation of city code.”

Man dies after being hit by dump truck in Carmel news@currentincarmel.com An Indianapolis man is dead after it appears he walked into the path of a dump truck at approximately 2 p.m. ACCIDENT April 2 in Carmel. Police said Adam J. Bisesi, 35, died after being struck by a 2000 International dump truck on the U.S. 31 northbound exit ramp to 146th and 151st streets. It appears Bisesi stepped into roadway and that the truck was not able to stop before hitting

him, according to investigators. No other vehicles or pedestrians were involved in the incident. The ramp was closed for several hours as accident reconstructionists from the Carmel Police Dept. investigated. The investigation is ongoing. On April 3, Mt. Vernon Community Schools Corp. issued a press release informing the public that Bisesi was seventh-grade language arts teacher at Mt. Vernon Middle School. He also advised the school’s Newspaper Club.

“He was always quick with a smile and was a beloved member of the Mt. Vernon family,” the release stated. “He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. The staff and family at Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family, as well as his friends, students, fellow teachers and support staff.” MVCSC said its crisis team has been alerted and counseling services will be offered to Mt. Vernon Middle School and Mt. Vernon High School students in the coming weeks.

CCS aims to reverse vaping trend By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools and the Carmel Police Dept. are working together to discourage students from vaping EDUCATION or using e-cigarettes, a trend that has exploded nationally and locally in recent years. Representatives from both agencies presented information to the CCS school board March 25 on the epidemic and what’s being done to stop it. CPD school resource officer Shane VanNatter said he wrote his first citation for e-cigarette use at Carmel High School in 2014. For the 2018-19 school year, he’s already written 25 citations. This doesn’t include 18-year-old students, who are legally allowed to possess vaping products. The spike in vaping comes after it appeared nicotine use was on the way out at Carmel High School. CPD only issued one citation for tobacco use in 2012-13. “We’ve nearly eradicated actual cigarettes among our youth, but the use of these e-cigarettes has skyrocketed,” said David Woodward, CCS director of student services. According to the FDA, vaping among high school students rose 78 percent from 2017 to 2018. In Indiana, nearly 30 percent of high school seniors reported vaping monthly in 2018, according to the Indiana Prevention Resource Center, more than a 10 percent jump from 2017. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices used for inhaling a flavored aerosol that usually contains nicotine. Some look like cigarettes, while others resemble USB drives or pens, making them more difficult to detect. VanNatter said some students are discreet enough that they use them during class without being caught.

Some students also are using the devices to vape THC, the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant that leads to feeling high. VanNatter said the THC oils are typically much more potent than smoking marijuana, and that he’s seen more than a dozen cases this school year of Carmel students “very, very impaired” after using it. “One hit looks like they’ve been on a bender,” he said, adding that it’s often bought and sold through Snapchat. “It’s that potent, that strong.” The district soon plans to release a series of short videos to educate students and parents about the dangers of vaping. It also will pilot a four-week program called Catch My Breath for students in middle and high school that provides information on ecigarettes. It will be presented in health and interpersonal relations classes. “We want to incorporate this fully next year into our health and wellness curriculum so our students have this ongoing education,” said Amy Dudley, CCS assistant superintendent of curriculum, instruction and assessment. School board members expressed support for the actions planned to address the issue. “I was shocked by the statistics and the impact on our students’ health and on our society,” school board member Lynn Zheng said after the presentation. “I think this is an important issue, just as important as school safety.” School board member Katie Browning said the district’s efforts will benefit more than just students. “(There are) parents doing these exact same things, because I don’t think they know (the dangers) either,” she said. “So as much as we’re helping our students, we’re helping our parents as well.”

a talk without mentioning roundabouts, told attendees that Carmel has 122 roundabouts, which is more than any other U.S. city. A handout showed that in 2018, Carmel residents had a lower risk of sustaining injuries in a car accident than those living in areas like Indianapolis or Noblesville. Brainard attributed it to the city’s roundabouts, saying city officials had “created one of the safest places to drive imaginable.” Seven more roundabouts will be under construction this summer, including three on 96th Street and at least one on Main Street. Construction projects City Engineering Administrator Josh Kirsh described several upcoming construction projects for the spring and summer. These include continued work on the interchange at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway and updates in Midtown, which include art installations, a playground and a stage for outdoor shows. By the project’s end, Kirsh said Midtown will be “a beautiful, landscaped place to hang out.” Specific needs registry Carmel Fire Dept. Chief David Haboush, along with Community Liason Capt. John Moriarty and Barlow provided information on the Specific Needs Registry. The program allows members of the public with specific medical needs to voluntarily register with the fire and police departments. Officers will then know how to best assist these people, should they ever be dispatched to their residences. Registration lasts for 12 months and may be continually renewed.

The meeting featured presentations by several city officials, including Mayor Jim Brainard and Carmel Police Dept. Chief Jim Barlow. Topics ranged from upcoming construction projects to the debut of a Campbell new police and fire department program. New substation Duke Energy Director Ryan Harbaugh presented plans for a sixth Duke Energy electrical substation in Carmel. The substation will be on Rohrer Road near Ind. 31. Harbaugh said the new substation is necessary because of increased electrical traffic in Carmel, which has left the city’s other five substations operating above capacity for months. Harbaugh anticipates the project will be complete by June 2020, saying that “by next summer, the current system couldn’t handle another summer.” The substation will be above-ground with greenery planted to help mask its appearance. West Park update Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Director Michael Klitzing presented an update on the development of West Park, which included photographs of a new, 8,000-square-foot pavilion under construction. The pavilion will be complete by the end of the month and begin hosting summer camps this year. Forty acres of West Park’s wooded area, called The Groves, is under development. An open-concept playground area will be added to The Groves, while West Park’s existing playground and splash pad will be replaced with updated equipment.

RUNNERS BRAVE COLD, RAIN AT CARMEL MARATHON

life is short Conditions were far from ideal, but that didn’t stop runners from participating March 30 in the ninth annual Carmel Marathon Weekend. Approximately 4,000 runners finished the marathon, half-marathon, 10K and 5K events in the wind, rain and cold. Next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Carmel Marathon, with the race set for April 4, 2020. Full results from all 2019 races can be found at carmelmarathon. com.

Column highlights nonprofits Commentary by Nancy Chance Editor’s note: Current Publishing is in a partnership with the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group to run COUNTY a guest column each month to showcase the work being done by area nonprofit organizations. Read more at youarecurrent.com. The Hamilton County Executive Directors Group was formed in 2017 by Good Samaritan Network, with the objective to actively support, foster, advance, endorse, mentor, inspire and move like-minded nonprofit agencies forward while purposefully supporting participating Hamilton County executive directors. There is the powerful potential of peer learning when you consider the unique diversity and experiences of executive directors, including the opportunity to gain confidence, think bigger, develop goals with accountability and feel less alone. When in a position of leadership, it’s easy to forget that we don’t have to go it alone. Certainly, that’s an essential part of the mission for the Hamilton County Executive Directors Group. Understanding that executive directors benefit from spaces with their peers

where they can learn and develop individually and corporately is important. This becomes even more significant in a time when tight funding and fewer professional development dollars are available to nonprofits. Some obvious outcomes for building a stronger network of executive directors and service providers include community networking among a diversity of agencies, organizations, individuals, etc.; gaining practical expertise with peer-to-peer influences; creating a safe place of commitment, support, concern and respect; generating a think-tank approach for assessment and development of partners, organizationally, and for the evaluation of current or new policies and procedures; reflecting on one another’s unique history and current needs; considering clear approaches for moving forward professionally and organizationally; and recognizing potential opportunities and related entrepreneurship.

Nancy Chance is the executive director of Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County.

CCHS hosts train-heists exhibit By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Historical Society museum director and city archivist Amy Grove has noticed how Red Death RedempHISTORY tion, a Western action game, has grown in popularity. “It’s broken a bunch of records for videogame production, and we thought we (could) draw upon the popularity and what is being shown in popular culture,” Grove said. “Maybe that will draw a little bit of a younger crowd to the Carmel Clay Historical Society.” “The Wild, Wild Midwest: Indiana Train Heists of the 1800s” exhibit will open to the general public 1 to 4 p.m. April 13 at the Carmel Clay Historical Society. CCHS members can preview the exhibit from 5 to 7 p.m. April 12. Grove said the exhibit features several stories of heists, not just the ones along Monon Railway. “Indiana was the home to the first train heist in U.S. history in 1867,” Grove said. “This was led by the Reno Gang, a group of brothers from Seymour.” The exhibit will be open until mid-June. CCHS received a Heritage Support Grant for $3,300 for the exhibit from the Indiana His-

Teammates join HOF together

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

As her Indiana High School Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame induction nears, former CarSWIMMING mel High School swimmer Lindsay (Carlberg) Ramsey is reflecting on the time of her life. “Every time I put on the CHS swimsuit and cap, I Ramsey had a feeling of pride, and also a feeling of pressure, to keep the traditions alive for the women who had put on the same suit and cap each year before,” Ramsey said. “There is nothing like the high school swimming and diving state finals. Nothing can prepare you for the atmosphere that you encounter on those two days. It is magic. Just reminiscing about those memories brings goosebumps.” Ramsey, who swam at CHS from 1995 to 1998, is one of four CHS swimmers being inducted into the Hall of Fame April 14 in Indianapolis. Joining her will be Thomas Hickson (1988 to 90), Katie (Simmons) Smart (1997 to 2000) and Erin Sparks (2001 to 2004). Smart and Ramsey were teammates for

two seasons. “There is no one I would rather be inducted into the Hall of Fame with than (Smart),” said Ramsey, an attorney who lives in Naples, Fla. “ We leaned on each other and supported each other even into college, where we both swam in the Big Ten.” Smart swam at Northwestern and Ramsey at Michigan. Smart Ramsey won three individual state titles and was on five statewinning relay teams. Smart was part of eight state championship relays and won the 100-yard breaststroke as a sophomore and 200 freestyle as a senior. “My favorite memory is our 400-yard relay our senior year in 2000. It was all seniors,” said Smart, who lives in La Grange, Ill., and works as a speech language pathologist. Smart’s older sister, Christine, was on the team that started the CHS girls swim team 33-year state winning streak in 1986 and was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2015. Her brother, Greg, also was a CHS swimmer, competing on four state championship teams.

Airplane pull returns April 13 By Maria Cook • news@currentincarmel.com For the past eight years, the Republic Airways Pulling for Wishes Airplane Pull has been a fun Indianapolis FUNDRAISER event with an important purpose: raising money to help children impacted by serious illness.

The ninth annual plane pull will take place at 9 a.m. April 13 at the Republic Airways hanger at Indianapolis International Airport.

It’s a fun event, even to go and just watch,” she said. “There’s all these kids’ activities, food, celebrities and mascots that are there walking around. Every year it’s gotten bigger and more festive.” Former Colts player Robert Mathis, a longtime supporter of event beneficiary Indiana

Imagineers compete at finals By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com A group of third- and fourth-graders at Towne Meadow Elementary participated in the Destination ACHIEVEMENT Imagination Affiliate State Finals March 23 in Fishers. DI is a nonprofit that promotes hands-on learning through challenges that test kids’ creativity, problem-solving and project-management skills. The Imagineers formed in September 2018. Members are Elliott Fingerhut, Caleb Aft, Ravi Patel, Holden Fingerhut, Allison Stogsdill and Navya Shah. The team competed in the March 2 regional academic tournament in the engineering challenge and advanced to the state finals. “They have a group of materials they can choose from to build a structure that weighs less than 175 grams,” team manager Anjali Palvia Shah said. “They receive points on a multitude of criteria. They also have to create a skit that revolves around every challenge that is no longer than eight minutes long.” The team worked for several months to come up with a plan for its structure. Members went through about 15 test structures

CHS culinary team cleans up By Raymond Mo news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School’s culinary team, baking and pastry team and nine additional competitors earned a ACHIEVEMENT gold medal in the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America State Conference last month. The culinary team earned the Best Starter Award for its appetizer in the ProStart Culinary Competition. Teams are given only an hour to prepare a three-course meal using butane burners, classical knife cuts and specific cooking techniques. The meal is judged by culinary experts based on flavor, texture, temperature and appearance. This year, the team used New York-style as inspiration to create Buffalo wings, a New York strip steak and cheesecake. “Their meal took many hours of planning and tasting and trying and practicing,” said Chef Nick Carter, advisor for the Carmel High School FCCLA club. “Everything’s hand-powered and there’s a lot of creativity that goes into how to build that three-course menu.” While team rankings have not yet been announced, Carter expects teams to place

far higher than they did last year based on the awards received. The baking and pastry team scored as national qualifiers in the competition, earning the opportunity to represent Indiana in the National Leadership Conference in late July in Anaheim, Calif. The team is excited to compete and is confident of placing in the national competition. “This year was a lot more fun than last year just because we really focused on teamwork this year and we really made sure that we were friends going into it,” said Katy Carson, a member of the culinary team.

Rabbit helps regulate emotion

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s Forest Dale Elementary has had a special visitor with a little hop in his step for much of the school EDUCATION year. Cookie, a miniature lop cross domesticated rabbit, has been visiting two groups of five third-grade students every Friday since September 2018 as part of an animal assistance therapy and education pilot program. The rabbit is used in exercises to help students understand emotion and body language. The male bunny sits in the middle of a circle as the students meet with Forest Dale’s two social workers, Shannon EdnieBassett and Angelica Niehans, and Lindsay Fisher, owner of Kokomo-based Wrangler & Friends, which provides the animals. Mini lops are typically docile and affectionate rabbits with floppy ears. The plan is to have three groups of eight students in the 2019-20 school year. “You want to make sure you bring the same animal because the kids get to know the animal and bond,” Fisher said. “You have to make sure (the rabbits) can handle the

stress if the kids are being too loud.” The weekly lessons are designed to help students regulate their emotions, improve social skills and develop productive coping skills at school and home. Third-grader Anna Gullett said the sessions have been helpful. “It helps me understand the bunny’s perspective and that no perspective is more important than the other,” Gullett said. The program is partially funded by the Indiana School Social Work Association and Forest Dale’s PTO.

Marti advocates for the poor By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com According to the World Health Organization, more than 36.9 million people lived with HIV/AIDS worldwide GIVING BACK in 2017 with low- and middle-income countries hardest hit. One Carmel resident wants to ensure vulnerable populations get the help they need in preventing the spread of the disease. Mary-Barbara Marti recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to encourage U.S. Sen. Todd Young to continue creating and supporting legislation that has a direct, positive effect on those living in extreme poverty. “We met with Sen. Todd Young to urge him to maintain U.S. funding for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria,” Marti said. “The United States contributes $1 to the Global Fund for every $2 contributed by other governments, foundations and the private sector. The Global Fund has saved 27 million lives since it was founded in 2002.” Marti joined ONE, the organization created in 2011 by U2 singer Bono, that advocates to end world poverty. As part of her participation, she was chosen for the trip, along

with six other Indiana residents, to attend the annual Power Summit. “The Power Summit provides volunteer leaders with training for organizing volunteers locally, policy education on our issues fighting extreme poverty and preventable disease, and ends with a lobby day on Capitol Hill where we urge our leaders in Congress to support effective policies and programs that will save lives, like the Global Fund,” Marti said. Young met with the group instead of having them meet with his staff. For more, visit one.org/us/.

Tourism growth in state, county benefits local economies By Sara Baldwin Schatz • sara@youarecurrent.com From food and music festivals, to unique shops and restaurants, to high-end golf courses and sports meccas such as Grand Park, out-of-state travelCOVER STORY ers are finding more reasons to visit Indiana. Hamilton County is reaping the benefit of the state’s tourism growth while simultaneously strategizing its own ways to attract guests.

Financial gains

An Economic Impact of Tourism study done by Rockport Analytics shows 80 million people visited Indiana destinations in 2017, the most recent complete data set. The figure resulted in $12.7 billion of visitor spending. Out of every dollar spent on tourism, 72 cents stays in Indiana. In Hamilton County, visitors added more than $820 million to the local economy, an 11.1 percent increase from 2016. Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Visit Hamilton County, said new and expanded hotels have been a major contributor to overall tourism growth. “There are more opportunities and Myers places for people to stay,” Myers said. “Hotels are not the biggest expenditure that a person makes on trips.” The tourism impact study found visitor spending was mostly on food, beverage and retail. In addition, tourism supported 11,553 Indiana jobs, including those at hotels, restaurants and attractions. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the Palladium is the city’s top destination for out-of-town guests. “We’ve chosen to do a lot of our economic development around the arts, and it’s worked out really well for us,” he said. “We have people from every state and many foreign countries that have been here, stay in our hotels, eat in our restaurants, shop in our retail stores. It helps our small businesses.”

A layered market

According to Myers, Visit Hamilton County uses data reports to track hotel room sales and conducts advertising effectiveness studies twice annually. She said business

travel, leisure and youth sports are major drivers for Hamilton County visitors. Top of mind for visitors are the Carmel Performing Arts Center, Grand Park, Conner Prairie and the Monon Community Center. Art and music festivals, marathons, bike races and other unique events also are piquing visitor interest. Many people also include Indianapolis attractions on their itinerary, such as conventions, zoos and museums. “They don’t come just to stay north of 96th street,” Myers said. “It’s a symbiotic relationship.” The county sees differing types of visitors, depending on the day of the week. When Indianapolis hotel rooms are booked during a convention, north side hotels and restaurants accommodate the overflow. On weekends, leisure travelers and the families of traveling athletes are more likely to be in town. “The thing that’s so great about the Hamilton County market is we are so layered in our types of visitors,” Myers said. “It helps us be more resilient.”

Smart advertising

Myers said Visit Hamilton County believes in a combination of web-based marketing and traditional advertising, like print and radio. “When you look at the complexity of the market, it requires different channels of communication, different messages across multiple platforms,” Myers said. “What we’re doing is working, and that’s exciting.”

A Visit Hamilton County marketing campaign portraying the county as a weekend getaway destination earned Indiana Tourism Association’s “Best Leisure Marketing Campaign” honor at a state tourism conference in March. The spring and fall campaign, targeted to the Chicago market, generated $62 million in visitor spending in the county. Myers said her staff works hard to stay on top of the latest digital campaigns. When Google launched Google Travel, the team decided to embrace it instead of thinking of it as a competitor. They spent time uploading Hamilton County information, focusing on what they want outsiders to see first. The result is a visually appealing and comprehensive list of attractions and amenities that appear in Google searches. “That’s just the kind of thing that my team amazes me about all the time,” Myers said. “They figure out how to position us in the market. That has really returned for us.” Visit Hamilton County has staff members available to teach business owners how to optimize their online visibility. “It really helps us if everybody else is doing well, too,” Myers said. The organization decided 15 years ago to invest in “key products,” or attractions and amenities throughout the county. “Grand Park is one of the biggest things we invested in. We’ve also helped Connor Prairie,” Myers said. “It’s really rewarding and exciting. Sometimes these things take a while to return, but when they do it’s so much fun.”

ESSAY

LETTER Wilson is right about Trump

Striking balance Commentary by Terry Anker Can we get too much of a good thing? Is it possible to overdose on perfection? These, and questions like them, have vexed us since the very first good thing. Perhaps the challenge has been that both measures are subjective. What may be terrific to some might be considered unpleasant, even revolting, to others. And how much is enough, or more than enough, assuredly relies upon our individual capacity to process. Take exercise, as an example. All would agree that physical activity does the body good. In fact, a cogent argument could be made that we Americans have fallen behind on what might be a sustaining level of movement. But what might be required for some might be excess to others. Our age, general health and physiology each have significant impact on the need. A few indulge in almost compulsive workouts – we push our bodies to the breaking point and beyond. Athletic injuries and repetitive movement damage our bodies while offsetting any measurable benefit from the effort. Likewise, food nourishes our bodies. Without it, we wouldn’t last long. And yet, we have a tough relationship with it. It seems we either eat too much or too little. For many, our bodies struggle to make use of the abundance of processed sugars and empty calories. Exercise and food may be the ideal ying and yang of our corporal selves. If we properly manage the everchanging and moving equilibrium, our lives are extended and improved in countless ways. Failure quickly delivers the opposite. Can we hope to find balance between hedonism and Puritanism? And if we do, can we hope to keep it?

Tears, roundabouts and laughs Commentary by Danielle Wilson My foray into politics two columns ago proved to be interesting. Mistake made, lesson learned, so let’s get back HUMOR to my mundane life as a working mom of four! I must preface this tale of motherly despair by first stating I am not an emotional person; my husband Doo actually believes I have no soul. And on this particular morning, I was running on five hours of sleep and had already spilled my coffee while taking a roundabout like I was a Formula 1 driver, which I am not. Suffice it to say, I was not in a good place as I drove to school, so I switched from depressing NPR to RadioNOW. That stupid “Tequila” song came on, and then bam, out of nowhere, it hit me: My babies are going off to college! (I experienced a similar revelation at Chick-fil-A with my oldest). Point of fact, our 17-year old twins are not

babies, nor have they been the babies for quite some time. Our youngest robbed them of that honor when she came along. But for whatever reason, at that moment, I realized that soon I would not be witnessing their Wonder Twin powers activate in the form of Australian accents and witty jabs. I would go months without seeing their sweet faces, now so much different than their pudgy toddler ones. Our Corinne-tin-tin and Hurricane Andrew will be on their own, making decisions and living their lives. Without me. The tears burst forth just as I was taking another friggin’ roundabout, followed fairly quickly by laughter. We did it! Three down, one to go. Doo might be right. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.” -Henry Ford

Editor, Thank you for publishing Danielle Wilson’s comments about President Trump. As a registered Republican, I find that Donald Trump is morally and ethically bankrupt. His praise for tyrants is reprehensible and deeply concerning. He has no core beliefs, other than those that will further his business dealings. I have given serious thought to leaving the Republican Party but have remained in hope that I can vote for any Republican candidates that will take a stand against Mr. Trump’s disturbing behaviors and policies. I have been largely disappointed by our current U.S. Congresswoman and senators and their acquiescence. Their silence makes them culpable to the worst of Donald Trump’s actions. Speaking out and recognizing that this situation is neither normal nor representative of what America is is the first step in healing. It’s time to cancel Donald Trump’s reality TV show. Joe Kniesly, Carmel

Their silence makes them culpable to the worst of Donald Trump’s actions.

Fiscal discipline shapes future Commentary by Fred Glynn With each new term comes a fresh cascade of ambitious programs by our current mayor to entice and excite ELECTION residents, thus averting their eyes from the looming debt crisis that awaits Carmel. The list of “payfors,” to use a bit of Washington jargon, grows more slowly. We’ll pay for this how, again? Don’t worry about it — just keep enjoying all that Carmel has to offer. Don’t worry about the fiscal impact, because Carmel’s rising budget deficits and debt levels don’t much matter to everyday citizens. Heck, even the mayor himself enjoyed a 6.55 percent salary increase in the 2018 city-approved budget. That’s a scary drift of thought, and it should set off alarm bells for all of our residents. Vast increases in debt will ultimately compromise Carmel’s ability to maintain its current array of projects, let alone add new ones, and threaten our standard of living. Want proof? Look no further than Standard & Poor’s 2017 downgrade of Carmel’s longterm credit rating. Standard & Poor’s, the nation’s respected credit worthiness firm, cited the city’s $300 million in additional

debt over a three-year period to justify the reduction. It is a myth that we cannot have a vibrant city, efficient government and fiscal health. I know because we’ve done it on the county council. Hamilton County has maintained world-class parks, expanded courts, fully funded public safety and kept pace with a population growing at the fastest rate in the state. All of this has been done while saving a staggering $3 million in rainy-day funds. The county has achieved its fiscal health with disciplined budgeting, tempered use of debt-based financing, vision and principled leadership. As your mayor, I will worry less about paying developers and more about paving roads. I ask for your vote. In return, I will pledge to make the decisions necessary to return Carmel to a AAA credit rating and ensure we leave a city as promising for our children as it has been for us.

Fred Glynn is a member of the Hamilton County Council and candidate for Carmel mayor.

Working at my hobbies Commentary by Dick Wolfsie For many years, I have neglected my hobbies. Sure, I like to read and work crossword puzzles, but these are HUMOR not really hobbies. When my wife and I go on vacation, we enjoy zip lining, parasailing and windsurfing, but there is just so much of that you can watch before it gets very tiring. This year, I made a New Year’s resolution to learn some new skills. I made it in March, which is odd because one of my other resolutions was not to procrastinate anymore. My goal was to have three new interests or activities to fill my free time. In preparation for an upcoming trip, I downloaded an app to learn conversational Spanish. This week’s lesson was to translate the following sentences: • My cat does not shower with me. • I change my pants twice a year. • My grandfather likes to watch the young girls. When we get to Peru, I’ll try to work these useful phrases into a conversation. Wish me luck. I’m taking a drawing class, although I have no aptitude for art. My instructor says

it’s not about talent, it’s about developing a skill. So, I used my developing skill to sketch our muscular male model. When I showed it to Mary Ellen, she said it was very good, and now she’ll be attending future classes with me. I’ve taken up pickleball — a combination of tennis, racquetball and Ping Pong, played on a section of a tennis court. This is great for older folks like me. None of the four seniors in my group can remember our score — which is announced before each serve, assuming we can remember whose serve it is. We spend a lot of the game disagreeing about the score, reintroducing ourselves for the eighth time and discussing the latest time we can arrive at MCL to get the early bird special. Well, I gotta go. I should practice one of my new avocations. Or maybe I’ll just chill out in front of my computer. I don’t want to keep my buddies waiting for me to take my turn in Words with Friends.

Cycling shop opens in Carmel By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bryan Boggs never dreamed of owning a bicycle shop. “But being a cyclist, when NEW BIZ Nebo went out of business, I felt we needed something up in this area,” Boggs said. The Zionsville resident is co-owner, with Brian Gootee, of Gray Goat Bicycle Co. North, 4335 W. 106th St., Suite 900, Carmel. The shop, near the Carmel and Zionsville border, opened March 5 in the former home of Nebo Ridge Bicycles, where Boggs was a regular customer. Gootee, a Waverly resident, is owner of Gray Goat Sports, which also has shops in Indianapolis and Franklin. “I work at Eli Lilly, so I’m just helping with financing and (am) part-owner of this Gray Goat North,” Boggs said. Boggs had worked with former Nebo Ridge owner Tim Casady at Lilly before Casady left Lilly. “I’m not a bike-shop guy. That’s why I partnered with Brian Gootee,” Boggs said. “I’m a regular enthusiast for biking and supporting the cycling community. I know there is a cycling program trying to get into the Zionsville schools and we’re going to be supporting that as much as we can.”

Boggs said Gray Goat is continuing to conduct Tuesday and Thursday evening rides, sponsored by the Central Indiana Bicycling Association, from the shop like Nebo Ridge previously did. “It’s always good to start and finish at a bike shop like this,” Boggs said. “On nice days we’ve had anywhere from 70 to 80 to 100 riders. We plan to carry that on and be good stewards of bicycling and proponents of cycling in the Zionsville and Carmel area.” The shop has two full-time employees, including General Manager Chris Richter.

Meet the Owners! Duane Keller started Hamilton Garage Doors in 1982, and has grown the business for 37 years by his reputation of honesty, kindness, expertise, and integrity. Many of HGD’s customers have been using the company from the very beginning, and are very eager to spread the word about the small family business. Mike Keller has grown up helping his dad install and work on garage doors. It is safe to say that garage doors are in his blood. Mike hopes to continue the same personable and trustworthy reputation his father has set for the business for many years to come.

Research could help create breast cancer treatment By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

Breast cancer is a complex disease with four main subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched and MEDICINE triple negative. Unlike the first three types, there is no targeted treatment specifically for triple negative breast cancer. But Carmel medical researcher Dr. Xiongbin Lu is part of a research team that recently made important findings related to the diagnosis that may eventually lead to a revolutionary form of targeted treatment. Lu is a researcher in the Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research at the Indiana University School of Medicine. In collaboration with researchers from the University of Maryland, Lu is using nanotechnology to target POLR2A, a gene related to the growth of triple negative breast cancer. The treatment, while promising, has not yet been approved for human trials. The

process of bringing a new cancer treatment to market is long and rigorous, Lu said. “The thing we have to ask ourselves is, on human models, will it be as effective as on an animal model? A mouse is only about 25 grams, but a human body is around 100 to 200 pounds. That’s quite a difference,” Lu said. “We also have to eliminate all possibility of harm, all toxicity issues, before it can be approved.” According to Lu, even those Lu with no medical expertise can play an important role in cancer research by getting involved in conversations about research funding. “Pay attention to cancer research. We’ve come so far, but it’s a hard task, which involves everybody in society, not just cancer scientists,” Lu said. “In the last few years, cancer research funding has been flat, so get involved. Write to your congress people and tell them to invest in cancer research.”

No one’s immune from alcohol’s consequences Commentary by John Adams I’ve had a great life. I was born into a loving family. I never had to worry about where my next meal AWARENESS was coming from or where we would live. My parents are still married and supported us into adulthood. I was raised Catholic, attended private Catholic grade and high schools and went on to a small private college where I received a B.A. in psychology. I’ve always had good jobs. I married a successful attorney, and we have two beautiful children. I served on the board of directors at Fairbanks and liked it so much that I work there as a manager of its Supportive Living Program. It took me a long time to get here, but I finally made it. My point is this: With all of these “advantages,” I was still susceptible and succumbed to a disease that affects millions of Americans and their families every year. The NIAAA defines an alcohol-use disorder, or AUD, as a diagnosable medical condition in which an individual’s alcohol consump-

tion causes harm or distress. While this disease has no known cure, it can be treated. Negative stigmas associated with alcoholism prevent so many of us from seeking treatment out of shame, embarrassment or even fear. There are so many negative connotations surrounding alcoholism that they can actually convince alcoholics to deny their illness. I have been sober for more than eight years and have experienced the benefits of recovery firsthand. My name is John; I am a grateful recovering alcoholic, and there are many just like me. Open your eyes to the disease, be aware of the stigmas and offer to help – or get help yourself. Read the full column at currentincarmel. com. John Adams is a Carmel resident, recovering alcoholic and manager of the Fairbanks Supportive Living Program.

Feinstein teams with CSO, Songbook Academy alums for concert By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Feinstein is famous for his collaborations. So, he figured it’s only fitMUSIC ting that he called on the Center for the Performing Arts’ resident orchestra for a concert titled, “That’s Entertainment.” Feinstein, the artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation, is performing with Carmel Symphony Orchestra for the first time since 2012 at 8 p.m. April 13 at the Palladium. “The experience of working with the orchestra is something that I’m very much looking forward to,” Feinstein said. “I’ve put together a program that includes one or two pieces that actually repose in our Great American Songbook archive that will be fun to give people a taste of some of the arrangements we have in our collection that will be brought to life by the orchestra. To collaborate with the orchestra and community is exciting for me. “It’s part of the realization of a dream to continue to engage the community in every way with these musical endeavors. Artistically, it’s a very fulfilling collaboration.” The program will pay tribute to the classic MGM musicals and include songs made famous by Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. “The theme gives me the opportunity to pick musical arrangements that will evoke the grandeur and majesty of the great musicals and the great songwriters,” Feinstein said. “Of course, it’s a concert in Indiana, so I’ll be including Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.” Feinstein will be joined by Songbook Academy alumni Caleb Freeman and Sam Mulligan. Freeman, a sophomore Freeman at Wichita State University, attended twice, receiving the Spirit

Award in 2016 and the Songbook Celebration Award in 2017. Mulligan, a junior at Belmont University, attended the Songbook Academy in 2016. “That will be fun to be with them again,” Feinstein said. “One of the things I love is to see their progress and watch their journey and see where they go in their lives. Not everyone who participates in the Academy has the intention to make music or musical theater their life’s work. But the music is important enough to them (that) it’s integrated in some way. It’s always exciting to see where their path takes them but also help as I can, and all of us can at the foundation.” Feinstein said Songbook Foundation Executive Director Chris Lewis and his staff stay connected with Songbook Mulligan Academy alums. Janna Hymes became the CSO music

director in 2017, so this will be her first appearance with Feinstein. “I’ve been a big fan for many years,” Hymes said. “I grew up in New York and some of my extended family have worked with Michael and know Michael. But I’ve never worked with him or met him, either. So, I’m really excited about this incredible concert coming up and the opportunity to work with someone who is such a fantastic artist and, of course, a very important person in Carmel.” Hymes said there will be some classic standards such as “Night and Day” and “The Way You Look Tonight.” “It’s a real array of standards, which is his speciality,” Hymes said. “These are arrangements he has for him when he performs with an orchestra. It’s music that has Broadway themes, a little bossa nova, some pop chart songs, some show tunes, some ballads. It’s a real combination of moods, lots of love songs. The songs are some of my favorites, actually.”

Carmel women’s plays featured By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com MaryAnne Mathews wrote from the heart on this play. Her bittersweet comDIVAFEST edy, ”I Say Tomato, You Say Cheese,” is based on the end of her father’s life and her relationship with him. Mathews, along with fellow Carmel residents Enid Cokinos and June McCarty Clair, have plays in DivaFest, which starts April 13 at the IndyFringe Basile and Indy Eleven Theaters in Indianapolis. “He had always been a very shrewd and savvy person,” Mathews said of her father. “At the end of his life, he was at times confused but did not have full-blown dementia. It was very frustrating for him not to be able to do all the things he used to do and sad for me as I looked on.” Mathews’ father, Joseph Stevens, died eight years ago. Cokinos’ “Dear Mavis” will be performed at 6:45 p.m. April 13, 7 p.m. April 19 and 7:15 p.m. April 20. “I can’t point to a specific inspiration for this play, which centers on an aging newspaper advice columnist who idolizes ‘Miss Manners,’” Cokinos said. “I was thinking

about the generational challenges in the modern workplace.” June McCarty Clair’s play, “In the Presence of My Enemies,” is a dark comedy about Sarah, whose husband, Frank, has died unexpectedly, leaving her badly in debt. “This is my first straight play, without music, I’ve written,” said Clair, a former Clay Middle School music teacher. Clair’s play will be presented at 5 p.m. April 14, 6 p.m. April 20 and 3 p.m. April 21. Clair plans to do a full production of the play at The Cat in June.

Tabla drummer to perform By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Zakir Hussain has collaborated with George Harrison, The Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart, Yo-Yo PERCUSSION Ma and jazz legend Pharoah Sanders. The Grammy Award-winning tabla drum star from India will bring his Masters of Percussion show to the Palladium in Carmel at 7:30 p.m. April 18. “It’s always a challenge to play for a new audience and anxiously await their reaction to it,” he said. The 68-year-old said he was last in the Indianapolis area in the mid-1990s. “I was a young man with no gray hair and I was playing with a kind of a combo group with a jazz guitarist named John McLaughlin,” Hussain said of the guitar legend. “Once before that, I came to play with (sitar legend) Ravi Shankar.” The concert is instrumental with some scat singing. “Most of the learning we received in India as far as rhythm is also vocalized,” he said. “It has a rhythmic element involved in it. There are no songs, but maybe I should do

Joining Hussain for the concert are the Kerala Drummers of India’s southwestern coast. “There is this village where everyone in the village drums,” Hussain said. “They have practiced the rhythm way of life for more than 2,000 years.”

Art promotes autism awareness By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s fitting that Indianapolis resident Sandi Hauanio is one of this month’s featured artists for Art on Main. ART ON MAIN “I thought it would be a good opportunity to tie in autism because April is Autism Awareness Month,” she said. Hauanio’s 5-year-old nephew, Enzo Cento, has autism. “His mother and my sisHauanio ter-in-law, Angela Cento, is a PR and marketing consultant and she and I work together on this,” Hauanio said. Hauanio, who does colored pencil artwork, will display items in the “Art for Autism” exhibit for Art on Main Gallery & Gifts, 111 W. Main, Carmel. Hauanio, one of the gallery’s regular artists, will be featured along with guest artist Jen Broemel, who makes contemporary quilts. Art on Main is next to No Label at the Ta-

ble, a dairy and gluten-free bakery, started by Shelly Henley and her son Jacob Wittman, who is on the autism spectrum. Other staff members are on the autism spectrum as well. A portion of proceeds will benefit Family Voices of Indiana, an organization that supports families impacted by autism, and No Label at the Table. During the Meet Me on Main gallery event from 5 to 9 p.m. April 13 in the Carmel Arts & Design District, there will be a silent auction. A portion of proceeds will be donated on certain pieces of Art on Main in-house artists. “It’s something that all of us in the gallery are passionate about giving back to the community,” said Debbie Slack, a Carmel resident and one of Art on Main’s coowners. “We’ve all had somebody we know and care about who has been affected by autism, so it’s really important to all of us. We love partnering up with our neighbor (No Label at the Table) and they are so wonderful there.”

Choir to visit Arlington Cemetery By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This will be a hectic, yet exciting sixday stretch for Select Sound, Carmel High School’s a cappella choir. CONCERT Select Sound was chosen as Indiana’s representative choir at the National Festival of the States to be held April 12 to 14 in Washington, D.C. during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. “This year’s ceremony is special because it is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion at Normandy beach during World War II,” Select Sound Director Kathrine Kouns said. “A special commemorative ceremony will be held at Arlington National Cemetery where Select Sound will perform a patriotic and sacred repertoire. In addition to this performance, the group will also perform at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, at Union Station and at the Tidal Basin Welcome Area as a featured group during the Cherry Blossom Festival. They also will entertain U.S. military veterans at The Fairfax. It will be a memorable weekend filled with amazing performances.” When the group of 20 singers returns home, Select Sound will perform at 7 p.m. April 17 at the CHS auditorium. The concert will feature a cappella music ranging from classical to modern-day pop, such as that performed by Pentatonix.

We are going to be performing at Arlington and many other memorials, and I am very honored to be a part of a group that was chosen to represent the state of Indiana in the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Voodoo Pasta is a combination of shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers and a housemade voodoo sauce. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1111 W. Main St., Suite 140, Carmel What to get: Voodoo Pasta Price: $14 Anna’s take: I was going to order a burger at Bar Louie, but burgers seem to have become one of my main staples lately. I figured I should try something different, so I ordered the Voodoo Pasta. This is a creamy blend of cavatappi pasta, jumbo shrimp, andouille sausage and red and green bell peppers mixed with a house-made voodoo

sauce. It’s not overly spicy, but it has a nice burn to it. The only thing I would add is more shrimp, but I get a bit greedy when it comes to seafood. The plentiful andouille sausage made up for it. Suggested pairings: I’ve been on a bourbon kick lately, so I ordered Bar Louie’s New Old Fashioned, which is crafted with Bulleit Rye, Angostura bitters, pure cane syrup and topped with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist.

Behind bars: The Spicy Boi Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. Boodles gin, 1 oz. jalapeno, pineapple and cucumber simple syrup, .75 oz. lemon juice, Serrano pepper slice Directions: Add ingredients to a shaker tin and shake with serrano pepper slice. Strain into a coupe glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Sleek, sophisticated Carmel kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

A streamlined kitchen with an open layout beautifully updated this 55-year-old home. 1. Removing the wall between the kitchen and the family room lets the homeowners stay connected to friends and family while in the kitchen. 2. The countertop separating the kitchen from the breakfast nook was removed, providing more space for food prep and cabinetry for storage. 3. Removing the bulkheads allows the new cabinets to extend to the ceiling, giving the homeowners more storage and the kitchen a more spacious feel. 4. Quartz countertops and an apron-front sink round out the updates. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: Built in 1964, this home is in Carmelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deerfield neighborhood, just north of 96th Street.

THE CHALLENGE With a growing family and a cramped, outdated space, the homeowners were looking to make big changes to their kitchen. The goal was to modernize the floorplan with a wide-open space and provide unparalleled functionality and storage.

Hung up on hanged Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Do you remember William Hung? He auditioned for “American Idol” back in 2004 and became famous GRAMMAR GUY for how delightfully bad his performance was. Hung’s version of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” for the judges was so bad, it actually endeared the nation to him. As a result, Hung had 15 seconds of fame performing the equivalent of lousy karaoke on various television shows. That’s not the type of “hung” I want to tackle today. We’re here to discuss hang, hung and hanged. “Hang” is a present tense verb with a handful of meanings. It means to fasten, to let droop, to pay close attention, or attach tightly to something. It’s also an informal term for spending time with friends. Hang your coat on the hook. Hang out with the wrong crowd, and you’ll end up in jail. I like to hang from the monkey bars. I’m hanging by a moment here with you. You don’t really need me, but you keep me hanging on. Yes, those last two examples were song lyrics. “Hung,” on the other hand, is the past

tense form of “hang.” Almost always, “hung” is the proper past tense version of “hang” to use in your everyday vocabulary. William hung the curtains. We hung onto every second of William’s terrible audition. As a result, Hung hung out with other D-list celebrities. The public hung William out to dry after his novelty act wore off. When it comes to “hanged,” we need to be very careful. It is the past tense and past participle of “hang” and should only be used when you’re talking in the past tense about a person who got put to death via hanging. According to the AP Stylebook, “One hangs a picture, a criminal or oneself. Use hanged for executions or suicides; use hung for other actions.” That’s clear enough for me! Remember it this way: curtains are hung and outlaws are hanged. I’m going to wrap it up because when I have to wait too long for meals, I get hangry, and you won’t like me when I’m hangry!

East end of Dam Square in Amsterdam. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Amsterdam’s lively Dam Square Commentary by Don Knebel Dam Square is among Amsterdam’s most popular tourist destinations, featuring a controversial war memorial. TRAVEL In 1270, Dutch settlers built a bridge that also served as a flood-control dam over the Amstel River near where it enters IJ Bay. Dam Square, a plaza west of the bridge, became the central market and cultural hub for the growing trading city of Amsterdam, reportedly named for the Amstel Dam. By the 17th century, the Dutch Republic dominated world trade, and Amsterdam was the wealthiest city in Europe. Just east of Dam Square, De Wallen, Amsterdam’s famous and still-active red light district, was entertaining sailors from around the world. In 1655, Amsterdam dedicated an enormous City Hall along the west side of Dam Square, said to have been the largest administrative building in Europe at the time. On May 7, 1945, two days after Germany had surrendered control of the Netherlands, frustrated German soldiers sprayed machine gun fire into a crowd celebrating in

Dam Square, killing at least 22 and injuring dozens more. In 1956, the government of the Netherlands erected the National Monument on the east end of Dam Square to honor the Dutch victims of World War II. Many citizens saw the monument as unnecessarily suggestive of the activities in nearby De Wallen. In the late 1960s, hippies from around the world saw the monument as a symbol of Amsterdam’s well-known tolerance and began sleeping and engaging in all sorts of activities in Dam Square. Today, Dam Square is one of the liveliest public squares in Europe. The old City Hall is now one of the three palaces of the Dutch royal family. Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, the first outside Britain, is on the south side. The hippies are long gone, replaced by fashionable shops and cafes, street performers and, of course, pigeons.

DISPATCHES Painting leather furniture — If you’ve got old leather furniture, jackets, belts, shoes or bags that are in bad shape, you may be able to paint them for a fresh, new look. There are paints made especially for leather, along with special surface preparations to help the paint adhere. One company that makes a full line of leather painting supplies is AngelusDirect.com.

Car air freshener — You can create homemade car air fresheners with simple materials in a snap. Take a couple of scented wax cubes and place them in a jar with holes in the lid. On hot days, the wax will melt, scattering the scent throughout your car. Source: Fabulous55.com

Small-parts clamp – Make a small-parts clamp by wrapping a rubber band around the jaws of needlenose pliers. The rubber band keeps the jaws of the pliers clamped together for holding small items. It works especially well for getting nuts into inaccessible spots or for starting small finish nails. Source: FamilyHandyman
