Monon expansion plan sparks debate about trees By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel has hired an international design firm to help propose a concept for expanding the Monon transportation Trail between the Carmel City Center and the Carmel Arts & Design District. The $170,200 contract with Gehl Studio Inc., a branch of a Demark-based firm, aims to study the Midtown area and look at possibly widening the multi-use trail. Old Town Design Group is working on a $100 million multi-building Midtown project along the Monon. Increased congestion could necessitate a wider trail or two separate trails that split. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said this part of the trail, which doesn’t have many trees, is already frequently overcrowded. But Ron Carter, president of the Carmel City Council, is expressing concerns that this Monon expansion could go beyond the treeless part of the trail and threaten the mature tree canopies, specifically south of The Mezz building near The Palladium all the way to 116th Street. Previously, City Engineer Jeremy Kashman looked at modifying the natural landscape in that area to improve drainage. Carter insisted the city find other ways than cutting down those trees, and changes were made to preserve them. But now Carter says he is concerned these trees could be threatened again by talk of widening the Monon. “The Mayor and I are not in accord right now over the Monon and its tree canopy,” Carter said. “We have to think more deeply about this and find a solution that keeps the trail serene, cool and somewhat isolated from everyday distractions.” Brainard said he doesn’t disagree with anything that Carter is saying and wants to emphasize he’s only talking about widening the trail where there aren’t any trees. “You always study a wider area than you want to fix,” he said. City Councilor Bruce Kimball said “smart expansion” is a necessity, especially with developers lining up to build along the Monon. “We’re not really talking about a huge expan-

sion,” Kimball said. City Councilor Sue Finkam said she doesn’t think it’s likely trees will be removed. “If it ends up taking a few trees in a couple areas, I would be open to that, but I want to see the plan first,” she said. Despite the disagreement, Carter, a longtime ally of Brainard, said there are no hard feelings. “We are still good friends, this is just one area where we disagree, and that’s OK in government,” he said. Brainard still said he’s not disagreeing with Carter. Gehl’s study will take three months and will include Range Line Road as well. Carter said he thinks new roundabouts will allow the city to turn Range Line into a twolane road with a center median that could make it more bicycle-friendly and alleviate Monon congestion. “If the median is wide enough, a bike path could be placed in the median of Range Line as is done in Europe,” he said. Funding for Monon and Range Line enhancements are already included in the $242 million in bonds passed by the council in January.

Carmel man receives award By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Over the years, Carmel resident Alan Potasnik has tried to involve himself in the city as much as possible. achievement He has held positions on the city council, plan commission, board of zoning appeals, the Carmel Symphony Board and worked in a bookstore at the Carmel Clay Public Library, just to name a few. On Valentine’s Day, he was recognized for his commitment to the city when State Rep. Jerry Torr presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award, the highest award a citizen can receive from the state government. “I’ve felt I’ve tried to give back to the community,” Potasnik said. “When I moved to Carmel 40 years ago, it was such a different community than it is today, and I happened to move here and get involved at a time when the shape of the community was just taking place.” Torr attended a family gathering and presented the award at the occasion. Potasnik credits Carmel Jim Brainard in transforming Carmel into the city it is today. “I think Jim Brainard has done a magnificent job. I don’t know how else to put it. What we see now are the fruits of his labor,” he said.

Race to benefit foster pet program By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Sixty-eight percent of abused women reported violence toward their animals from their abuser, according to Beacon event of Hope Center for Women. Forty percent of domestic violence victims report they are afraid to leave the abusive situation for fear of what will happen to their pets. Lilly’s Lighthouse Foster Pet Care Program seeks to alleviate those fears by offering temporary shelter for those pets. The third annual Bow Wow Luau Fun Run/ Walk, which benefits the foster pet care program, will start at 11 a.m. April 23 at Carmel Central Park, East Shelter. The run is a 5K and the walk is one mile. Beacon of Hope Center for Women sponsors the Bow Wow Luau. “Often you can’t take a pet into a shelter or emergency hotel stay,” said Leah Seigel, Beacon of Hope board member. “Our foster pet program matches those pets with foster families so the victim can get out and get the help that he or she needs.” Seigel said the stay is usually about 30 days. “It depends on the situation, and our foster families are usually flexible with that,” she

Nature center on a monarch mission By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com The monarch butterfly is in danger, and Cool Creek Nature Center is on a mission to help. The center, 2000 E. 151st outdoors St. in Carmel, is offering several Mission Monarch programs this season to help teach the community about simple steps they can take to create a better environment for the insects. Events include nature walks, a garden planting and habitat creation workshop. From the time they are caterpillars, monarchs can only eat milkweed, which is becoming harder to find as land is developed said Sarah Kempfer, Cool Creek Nature Center specialist. “Monarchs are having a hard time with the changes in its environment and the reduced amount of milkweed due to pesticides, new development and crops,” Kempfer said. Milkweed naturally grows on field edges and farm corners, but it can easily be planted in residential areas to help the next generation of monarchs. Instead of giving the monarchs a desert of manicured lawns, Kempfer said milkweed can be planted among residential landscaping or near ponds in subdivisions
to provide food and shelter for monarchs. “Hamilton County could be a leader in getting more milkweed growing,” Kempfer said. Monarchs awake from hibernation in Mexico, find a mate and fly north to lay their eggs. Four generations are born on the journey from Mexico to Canada before the migration south begins again. “The monarch is one of the few insects who migrate where people all over North America can enjoy,” Kempfer said. For a list of local nurseries that carry milkweed, visit www.hamiltonswcd.org/where-tofind-native-plants.html.

White Chapel was built as a home church for circuit-riding preacher Jacob White in the 1850s. (Photo courtesy of Carmel Clay Historical Society)
White Chapel among county’s oldest religious structures
By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com
Presumed the oldest religious structure in Hamilton Co., White Chapel Church was completed in 1853. back in the day Located at its current address on East 116th Street, White Chapel was originally associated with the community of Mattsville, which was annexed by Carmel decades ago. Records show that the acquisition grew from a desire by Methodist officials to find a home for the circuit-riding preacher Jacob White. Peter Wise, a farmer, decided to donate part of his acreage for the cause. At the time, prairieland surrounded the area. He donated the land with the agreement that the ground be used only for a church. One of his motivations may have been to preserve the family cemetery, which is adjacent to the church. Some of the gravestones date back to the
early 1800s. The tiny structure remained recognizable throughout the years, even with the additions of pillars, a belfry, portico, steeple and an expanded parking lot. The original promise of preserving the land for religious purposes was also maintained. In 1962, the church became nondenominational. Attendance was light at times. Plus, the church had to close occasionally while the congregation waited for the right pastor to fill a vacancy. White Chapel’s history includes its effect on people. One example is in 1980 a stranger stole an antique clock from the church. The man hoped to sell it for booze. After spending eight years in jail for an unrelated charge, he felt he had undergone a religious conversion. In 1992, he returned to White Chapel Church to confess his theft. Eventually he paid for a new $630 clock for the church.

Twitter and Facebook have become an increasingly popular form of communication utilized by political candidates in tech recent elections, but these social mediums aren’t devoted purely to politics. During his time working with Indiana political candidates, Carmel resident Adam Berry said he realized the lack of such a website that could allow candidates and Berry voters alike to better communicate during political campaigns. “It struck me in the fall of 2014 when I was working with a candidate, and it was really difficult walking through the laundry list of things he needed to do,” Berry said. “I thought, why am I not sending him to a single place online that makes it super simple for him to basically launch his campaign?” This idea led Berry, a Republican, and Frank Short, a Democrat, to develop PoliticalBank, a bi-partisan, one-stop shop website for candidates at all levels to launch, monitor and engage voters in their campaign. “We consider ourselves the most cost-

effective way for candidates to launch their campaign online,” Berry said. “In less than 10 minutes candidates can post pictures, post information about themselves, convey their positions on issues, start recruiting volunteers, announce upcoming campaign events and start raising and accepting campaign donations.” PoliticalBank is for voters, too. For those wanting to learn more about a specific candidate, the website allows registered users to search the website for information, including
political issues. “What is really unique about it is it allows for voters to find candidates on the platform that they may not even be looking for,” Berry said. “So you’re a voter, and you want to find out who’s running for office in Hamilton County, you can search by location, name, demographic or by choosing an issue.” Berry and Short’s goal with PoliticalBank isn’t aiming to replace the role of social media or even a political campaign website, but to simply use it to unite all of these tools in one place. “This allows them to share their PoliticalBank page to Facebook and Twitter and vice versa,” Berry said. Berry said that PoliticalBank will come in especially handy for smaller scale candidates that don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on complex campaign websites. “We want to offer this to candidates regardless of what level they are running for to have the ability to have a sophisticated, sleek website,” Berry said. “Some presidential campaign websites are $100,000, but if you’re a candidate who just needs a way to connect with voters, accept donations online, put up photos and tell folks about you, we’re your place.” To learn more, visit www.politicalbank.com.

‘Passport’ founder helps locals find jobs By Lisa Dellinger • news@currentincarmel.com What started out as one man’s offer to help a few people find jobs has turned into a multifaceted program that employment has assisted more than 1,200 area residents in securing full-time employment. Many more have found seasonal, part-time, temporary or contract positions as a “bridge” to full-time employment. Passport to Employment, a free outreach program that teaches job-search skills to aid people in finding new employment, is open to people of all ages, backgrounds and faiths. Eight years ago, Carmel resident and recently retired businessman Earle Hart volunteered to help several members of his church who were unemployed. Hart began by auditing courses available at his local WorkOne Center, the State of Indiana’s employment office, and then conducted interviews with Central Indiana human resources professionals, staffing managers and recruiters. Armed with information from the classes and interviews, Hart notes, “What I learned is that job-search today is much different than in the past. We began teaching participants the current methods needed for finding a job

in the digital age.” This training includes using LinkedIn and other online resources. Within a year, the number of participants in the Passport to Employment, or P2E, program grew to such a level that additional volunteers were needed. Today, the all-volunteer P2E staff includes Hart and 12 others with career-coaching credentials. They assist job-seekers through weekly Passport to Employment meetings, which draw an average of 60 – 80 people, and weekly two-hour workshops that offer a crash
course to address the basic requirements of a job search. Both take place at Church at the Crossing, 9111 Haverstick Rd. in Indianapolis, near 82nd Street and Keystone Avenue. One individual who greatly benefited from his involvement with Passport is Carmel’s Mark Craft, now assistant vice president, marketing, for Purdue University. After being laid off from a position and serving as a Super Bowl volunteer, Craft learned about P2E through the WorkOne program. “I can’t overstate the benefits of the support I received from Passport,” he said, mentioning his exposure to job-search experts and other speakers, as well as the opportunity to network with others. P2E offers a full range of free services, including group coaching and one-on-one assistance; a job board; and help building resumes, cover letters and portfolios. In addition, Passport volunteers recently published a 60-page online guidebook to navigate the journey to employment. To strengthen Passort’s original job-search mission, participants can now take advantage of resume-building volunteer opportunities, the opportunity for free photos for their LinkedIn home page, financial management assistance and more.

Conference to focus on women By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Cultivating Lovely, an upcoming women’s conference focused around women confidently owning who God created faith them to be, is coming to Hazel Dell Christian Church April 29 and 30. “This event is for any woman in her 20s and 30s who needs encouragement while finding out how to live in what makes her lovely,” said Krista Dunbar, founder Dunbar of Cultivating Lovely and communications specialist at Hazel Dell Christian Church. Dunbar developed the idea for the conference after originally planning a girls’ weekend away. She felt the messages she wanted to explore among the small group needed to be shared with more women. “This is a community collaboration rather than just one church,” Dunbar said. She quickly began collaborating with several guest speakers from various platforms, all of whom could tie into the idea of cultivating lovely in their Chrisitan faith. “We want people to know we do not have
it all together,” Dunbar said. “We are speaking despite where we are at right now and are walking through difficult times knowing God is our hope.” Admission is $25 and includes a welcome bag. The Friday session is from 7 to 9 p.m., and Saturday is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hazel Dell Christian Church Student Center, 14501 Hazel Dell Pkwy. To register, visit cultivatinglovely.com. “We want women to sit with the question, ‘What makes you lovely?’ and see it in their own eyes and not from someone else,” Dunbar said.
Conference Topics • What Makes You Lovely? Speaker: Ashley Onusic • Being Under His Banner–Completely Covered by the Gospel Speaker: Hayley Morgan • Loving Him Despite Our Emotions Speaker: Krista Dunbar • Loving Him By Loving Our Body Image Speaker: Ashlee Edgerton • Loving Him Through Tragedy Speaker: Liz Henderson • Loving Him Through My Marriage Speaker: Anna Scott

REA D ER ’ S VIEW Sunday morning drivers not the biggest threat Editor, The Carmel Police Dept. has recently enhanced its enforcement of speed limits on numerous collector and arterial thoroughfares in the city, most noticeably on Sunday mornings. This, apparently, is an effort to apprehend residents running late on their way to church. Now, it is widely known and appreciated that Carmel has a low crime rate. But the notion that the greatest threat to taxpayers is people going to church defies reason. I suggest our tax dollars might be better spent patrolling Keystone and Meridian on Friday and Saturday nights, when there are real live drunk drivers out there in need of arrest. I suspect that most of the folks being apprehended and ticketed on Sunday mornings are sober and pious. Awesome. Bruce Allen, Carmel

Players enjoy victory in Italy By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Justus Schumann, visiting Italy was nice. Getting to know fellow football players was even better. football “The best part was meeting teammates from literally all across the country, from California to Texas,” Schumann said. “Through the practices, free time and sightseeing we really gelled together. It made for a good team atmosphere.” Schumann, an outside linebacker, was one of five Carmel High School senior football players who represented the U.S. in an American Football Worldwide Elite team in a game against Italy’s under-19 national team on March 26 in Bergamo, Italy. Twenty states were represented on the American 33-man roster. The U.S. romped, 68-3. The other ex-Carmel players were linebacker/fullback Sam Knapp, linebacker Andrew Peters, wide receiver Marcus Perkins and tight end Nathan Melchi. Knapp, who will play at Virginia Military Institute, said sightseeing was definitely the best part. “There is a city in Tuscany called Siena that I’m pretty sure we all fell in in love with,” Knapp said.

The team also visited Rome the first day of the Holy Week, March 21, and Vatican City March 22. Perkins said his favorite part was making unique memories and having a fun experience with new teammates. “It was cool to have (CHS) teammates, but we definitely tried to do our best to get out there and make new friends and have different experiences with people we may not see again in cities we may not see again,” Perkins said.

One time our class asked more than 15 questions in a row, but she never lost her enthusiasm and patiently answered
the questions. She taught us the importance of learning languages and studying roots of them.

Tibor Klopfer would always ask about a tattoo he saw on his father Michael’s arm. His dad would simply say, “The Nazis event did that to me,” but wouldn’t elaborate much more. It wasn’t until years later he learned that his father, a Hungarian immigrant, was in Auschwitz during World War II, and his first wife and two young daughters died in German, forced-labor camps. Klopfer, an attorney with Faegre Baker Daniels, said it’s important to remember the Holocaust, not just because of the history and the personal connections, but because it could happen again if people don’t learn from the past. “We need to understand that this thing can happen, has happened and indeed is happening today,” he said. “Hopefully, by remembering what happened in the past, we’ll avoid
the same sorts of events, genocides and atrocities happening on that sort of scale. Of course, that hasn’t been successful because we all know those sorts of things are going on in various parts of the world, but we have to try.” Klopfer will be the guest speaker at the 2016 City of Carmel’s Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony at noon May 6 at the Booth Tarkington Theatre. Klopfer’s parents, Manci and Michael, were both imprisoned in concentration camps in Poland and Germany and met after the war. Both survived, but they both had several family members who perished in forced labor camps. Manci was deported from a rural ghetto in Hungary and taken to a slave labor camp in the countryside. Klopfer hopes his speech will put a human face on a tragic period in world history.

Local, international runners prepare for Carmel Marathon By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Marathon is more than just a “local” race. In its sixth year, participants born in 47 different countries, plus the United States, are competing in the 2016 race April 16. Countries represented include cover story China, Japan, Italy, Greece, Kenya, Malaysia, Nepal, Nigeria, Romania, South Africa and more. “It’s cool to realize how running is such an international sport,” Race Director Todd Oliver said. “The first marathon was over 2,500 years ago in Athens, and we love to show that running brings people together from all over the
world to enjoy the love and thrill of running. It doesn’t matter what size you are or where you are from. Anyone can compete in our races.” To recognize the race’s international flavor, Oliver said he plans to have the represented countries recognized during the opening ceremony and announcements, including a good luck greeting spoken in several different languages. Oliver is asking people to “cheer on their countrymen” as they run past. He’s also purchasing international flags to be placed along City Center Drive as well. Oliver said he’s unsure if the international participation has grown significantly, because it’s a question that’s only recently been asked on registration forms. He’s been amazed by the response, though.
He said it’s just one way that the Carmel Marathon weekend is raising awareness of the city of Carmel throughout the United States and possibly beyond. As of April 4, full marathon race registration is up five percent compared to 2015, which Oliver said he’s happy with, considering the 2016 race falls on the same weekend as the Boston Marathon. The half marathon registration is about equal to last year, which Oliver said is great since it is the 100th anniversary of the Mini Marathon in downtown Indianapolis in May, which can compete for half marathon participants, even though they aren’t the same weekend. Registration for the 5K is up 25 percent compared to 2015. In all, more than 4,000 people are expected to register for one of the four races: full marathon, half marathon, 8K and 5K. All four races start at 7:30 a.m. just outside The Palladium on City Center Drive. Packet pickup is only available the day before the race at the fitness expo at the Monon Community Center from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Oliver said there will more than 40 vendors at the fitness expo and everyone – even those not competing in a race – is welcome to stop by and check it out. Oliver also encourages residents along the route to come into their yards and cheer on the runners as they travel past homes along the race course. A full map with times can be found at www.carmelmarathon.com. There’s no “official” postrace party this year. Oliver said so many private businesses — restaurants, bars and athletic stores — are hosting their own parties that he said he didn’t want to compete with them. Oliver said there should be no construction challenges for 2016 and there will be close to 100 police officers and 70 medical professionals lined up to help. “Everything is lining up well, and we expect this to be the best race yet,” he said.

Opening doors for our readers
As you might know, we use independent marketplace research at Current Publishing to determine what our content should be. The most recent round of research has been completed by SMARI, Inc., and the research firm treated us to something of an executive summary last week. While there is much to dig through, we learned, among other things, that Current is reaching a vast audience, approval exceeds 90 percent and readers want involvement. Because of that high level of interest, we are opening the door to readers that would like to participate in this column. As soon as we’re able, we would like to retitle this tome, now in its 10th year, Roses and Thorns. The idea is to have you and others tell everyone who or what in the community should get a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and why. It would be a few words about a good deed done, or a few on something that takes issue with, for example, municipal infrastructure. Given the column’s space limitations, we would edit for length. The broader idea is to provide you and your fellow readers with an outlet, involve you more and maybe bring light to something that otherwise would not have been noticed. ••• We’re proud to support the annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast at Ritz Charles in Carmel on April 27, and we hope you will, too. It’s a 7 a.m.-to-9 a.m. fundraiser, and we always learn something. Chaucie’s Place, you might know, is a child advocacy organization that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide. Ticket ($10) may be purchased at chauciesplace.org.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Ben Franklin Commentary by Terry Anker Sir Thomas Browne, an English physician and theologian is quoted in 1642 as saying, “But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? ‘Charity begins at home,’ is the voice of the world.” Like most aphorisms, this holds mostly truth but leaves a gap or two in understanding (perhaps because of its intentionally concise nature). What is home? We’d all mostly support our own families. Perhaps, we’d help a neighbor – or a neighborhood. But, when do we imagine other humans to not be of our tribe? Is it a city line, a national boundary or a continental gap? My bride and I took to support the newly announced Ben Franklin Funds designed to support The Indianapolis Foundation in celebrating its centenary year. Following the lead of the American statesman who left small gifts for a pair of nascent colonial cities that, thanks to compound interest, matured into a big fund with even bigger
philanthropic impact. In a nutshell, The Indianapolis Foundation has asked that 1,000 people donate $100 and 100 people donate $1,000 to generate $200,000,000 in 2016. To start the party early, the Evening of 100 Dinners, June 15 or June 23, will bring together these donors to imagine a future. To give, join or host a dinner, or to learn more about the time-capsule, check out www.bein2016.org/bff/. One hundred years ago, Indianapolis did not include most of what it is today. A century from now, it might be bigger, or smaller, or gone entirely. Yet, even as we watch our own children grow towards a future that we will never see, I am optimistic that our little investment will stand as a beacon to future Hoosiers about the hope that we hold for them and our bit of earth today.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. – Benjamin Franklin
Last night I was hanging out with two of my sisters flipping through channels. We ended up on “Magic Mike XXL” humor and began a long conversation about the many different sequels that suck. (We strongly differed on “Pitch Perfect,” by the way, but that’s a whole ‘nother column.) After a while I remembered that my almost-15-year-old son was sitting right next to me, listening to us ramble but also half-heartedly watching a stripper movie. Rated R of course, and even though the volume was barely loud enough to hear (this movie is so not about dialogue!), it occurred to me that it was highly inappropriate for a freshman in high school. Then I realized that two nights ago I had allowed his twin to watch another adults-only movie, “Sisters,” and am seriously considering letting her attend the very risqué “Book of Mormon.” I’ve even started swearing in front of them. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me. Seriously? Where did that Mother of the Year go? As I expressed these views with my younger sisters, one confessed that she had accidentally taken her fourth and sixth graders to “Deadpool,” the exact opposite of a kid-friendly Marvel movie, and the other said her 3-year-old twins’ favorite is the PG-13 “Avatar.” We all agreed that we are terrible mothers. The thing is, we really just don’t care anymore. After having more than one child, it becomes too exhausting to monitor every TV show, radio program and/or book they consume. I think eventually parents reach their maximums on the censorship allotment that they’re given at the hospital (along with those crazy mesh underwear), and decide it’s not as big a deal as it once was. Plus, I actually trust my kids to make good decisions on their entertainment options, and if nothing else, those choices can lead to important conversations. Last night for example, one scene lead to a wonderful recollection of taking his great-grandmothers to a Chippendale show. The point is, eventually, you have to step back and hope you’ve done enough. If they choose “Archer,” at least it’s clever. Peace out.

Finding more, feeling complete Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw One of the most interesting pieces of theistic faith is simply its answer to the heart’s desire for more. religion Many who explore faith actually do so quite logically. It isn’t blind, but rather the natural step that is driven by a hunger. What do you do when you achieve the job you wanted? Are you now complete? How about when you finish the degree you thought you wanted, or marry the person of your dreams, or lose the weight you thought would make you look good? Everyone begins by answering “yes” until they realize they are not yet whole or that the object of their affection lacks the ability to satisfy this mysterious hunger that still resides. Malcom Muggeridge, the famous British journalist, says it well: “It is difficult to resist the conclusion that 20th century man has abolished himself. Tired of the struggle to be himself he has created boredom out of his own influence and vulnerability out of his own strength. He himself blows the trumpet that brings the walls of his own cities crashing down until at last having educating himself into imbecility, having drugged and polluted himself into stupefaction
he keels over a weary, battered, old brontosaurus and becomes extinct.” Ancient King Solomon says it well: “I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.” It’s not that another degree, marriage, or raise doesn’t bring momentary happiness — absolutely they do. Yet it isn’t just a quick pleasure that we desire; it’s to feel complete. Most who try and succeed in their earthly endeavors begin to realize that along with their success is this ever-growing awareness that it isn’t fully working. What if there is more? Jesus Christ takes this to another level. It’s not a story of man trying to create purpose. It’s perfect purpose coming to man. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

After Mary Ellen returned from a recent solo trip, she asked if I had kept to my diet while she was away. I admitted going humor to three all-you-can-eat buffets, and I gorged because everything looked so good. That was the wrong thing to say. She’d just read an article claiming that one way to lose weight is to eat your meals while blindfolded. In several experiments, people who had their eyes covered ingested 22 percent fewer calories. That number was actually much higher, but researchers decided not to count all the food that fell on the floor or dribbled down people’s shirts. The theory behind this is simple. When you can’t see what’s on your plate, scientists say you’re “more apt to listen to your stomach.” I do listen to my stomach, and so does the entire congregation at the Heartland Church on Sunday mornings. I tested this theory the next day while my wife was out shopping. When she got home, I told her I had been doing a little experiment to see if this calorie-reduction plan was legit. Mary Ellen looked at the ketchup all over my face and shirt and said: “Okay, now to-
B
morrow see what happens when you eat blindfolded.” Researchers claimed that cutting off any one of your senses leads to less consumption of unneeded calories. I wondered what effect it would have to wear earplugs. “This is crazy,” said my wife. “Covering your ears will not make you eat less.” “It’s worth a try, Mary Ellen. What are we having tonight?” “I’m making your favorite: oven-fried coconut chicken, twice-baked potatoes and creamed spinach.” “I wish you had waited until I put in my earplugs to tell me that.” “Why?” “Because that sounded really good.” The bottom line is that I have tried covering my ears, my nose and my eyes, and I have not lost any weight. Next week, I’m going to try something I should have thought of before: I’m going to try covering my mouth.

Rock tour teaches healthy habits By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Students in kindergarten through fifth grade at West Clay Elementary School recently danced their way through exercise activities that highlighted the importance of nutrition and exercise. Jump With Jill, a traveling rock tour designed for kids and sponsored by Meijer, performed with Laura Brown as “Jill” and Nick Greene as “DJ” at the school on March 31. “They’re doing a nutrition rock and roll show. It’s all rock and roll music about healthy foods and exercise,” said Lindsay Guest, the organizer of the event and a wellness teacher at the school. “It helps kids make healthy choices and shows them how to incorporate healthy choices into their life.” Brown had the kids up and moving to pop hits to start the hour-long show. “I love music, and I love food, so I put my two favorite things together to create the greatest rock and roll show you will ever see,” Brown told the kids. The tour went to 10 local schools, including two other Carmel schools, Towne Meadow Elementary and Orchard Park Elementary. Jump With Jill was able to tour 25 schools this spring at no cost to the schools. Funding

was provided through participating produce suppliers last fall. “It’s fun to learn all the new dance moves and stuff,” said fifth grader Paige Sherman at the event. “It’s always good to be healthy, and I like to play sports and everything.” To date, Brown has performed the show 260 times for approximately 90,000 kids. Brown graduated from Miami University of Ohio with a degree in kinesiology and health. She obtained her master’s degree in exercise from Michigan State University. “Healthy foods help grow the kids’ brains and help them academically and throughout their entire life,” Guest said.

Commentary by Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh Spring is here, and Carmel residents are eagerly welcoming the warm weather and outdoor From Your Pharmacist activities. Unfortunately, the beauty of spring also means a return of red, itchy and watery eyes as well as sneezing and runny noses for allergy sufferers. To truly enjoy the vibrancy of spring, it is important to understand allergies and how to manage them. What are allergies? In short, allergies are the body’s way of overreacting to a foreign object in the air (pollen, for example) and fighting it with an immune response. Allergy treatments Our first line of defense for mild allergies are the daily, over-the-counter antihistamines. The three that I recommend do not cause drowsiness like many others: Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec. There is no strong evidence that one is better than another, but if the product doesn’t benefit you within 3-5 days, try another one. Your insurance may even pay for medicine, making them even more affordable. For more stubborn allergies, daily nasal ste-
roids fight more than histamine. Most insurance plans will help pay for nasal steroids, but three are available over the counter: Flonase, Nasacort and Rhinocort. There is more to using these medicines than simply squirting them up your nose, however. Ask your pharmacist for the proper usage technique. There are also alternative ways to treat allergies: • Using a nasal irrigation product like the Neti Pot or saline spray flushes your nasal passages. • Vacuuming often reduces dust mites. • Getting tested by your doctor determines exactly what you are allergic to so you can avoid it whenever possible. • Paying attention to pollen counts and allergy indexes provides advance notice of the days you may feel your worst. Remember that it is always important to inform your doctor or pharmacist of over-thecounter medications you try. If these solutions aren’t helping, there are prescription-only options or allergy shots that may be appropriate. Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh is a pharmacy team leader at Giant Eagle Pharmacy in Carmel’s Market District.
Seminar promotes mental wellness By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com A year-long initiative by the Women’s Group at St. Mark’s Methodist Church is addressing mental health issues event within the congregation and the community through a Mental Wellness Seminar on April 16. “The primary goal of the seminar is to create an atmosphere within the congregation and the community where people will feel safe discussing mental health concerns,” said Gail Lee, St. Mark’s Women’s Group president. Many families are wrecked by depression, anxiety and addiction and are unable to break free without support and resources. “We want to provide the congregation and community with resources when dealing with mental health issues for themselves or for loved ones,” Lee said. The seminar will include several accomplished guest speakers. Dr. Lynn Shaw will lead a presentation called “Laughter for Life,” which will provide a positive take on mental health. The impact of addiction within families will be addressed by addiction therapist
Jeanne Carter, and Dr. Joan Lafuze will give her scientific perspective on mental health issues. Attorney Marianne Halbert will acquaint attendees with the National Alliance on Mental Illness resources. St. Mark’s has also created a newsletter to include mental health articles, welcomed guest speaker Det. Bill Haymaker from the Carmel Police Dept. to give a mental health presentation from a first responder’s perspective and has hosted a Grief Share support group for people facing loss. “If people are dealing with mental health issues for themselves or for their family, they are not alone, and it is OK to have a conversation about these issues,” Lee said.
Mental Wellness Seminar When: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 16 Where: St. Mark’s Methodist Church, 4780 E. 126th St., Carmel Cost: No cost, but pre-registration is required. More: Contact umw@stmarkscarmel.org. Light refreshments will be served. The Carmel Marathon is the same morning of the seminar, so attendees may want to plan extra travel time.

Ramen restaurant opens in Carmel By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dr. Samantha Yeap and her husband are both food lovers. “We travel all around the world food just to eat,” said Yeap, whose husband is also a doctor. “We have really developed a passion for ramen. When I went to New York or Chicago, I had to eat ramen. I should have ramen here in Indianapolis.” Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish. So owner Yeap, an anesthesiologist, recently opened Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya at 2450 E. 146th St., Carmel, in the Cool Creek Commons center. Kizuki is a chain that originated in Japan and then started in Seattle. The only other Kizuki outside the Pacific Northwest is in Chicago. “I went to Seattle and decided on this because I really like the taste and the way the menu is presented,” Yeap said. She researched other ramen franchise opportunities and determined Kizuki was her top choice. Yeap, 35, and her husband are both from Malaysia. She moved to Indianapolis in 2004

after medical school in Canada to do her residency. Her sister, Cindy Yeap, 31, who has a master’s of business administration from the University of Indianapolis, will serve as director of operations. They both live in Zionsville. “Being a full-time doctor, the only way I can do it is if I was able to collaborate with her,” Yeap said. “She did all hiring. Cindy went to Seattle for six weeks just following the manager and chef around, learning everything.” She said she chose the location because
there is a lot of traffic around the center. “This is by no means just an Asian business, but I definitely see Carmel has a huge Asian population who are going to be very interested in eating ramen,” Yeap said. “In the future, we might open more (restaurants) if we do well.” Cindy said the restaurant seats 84, and there are 25 employees. “I have a lot of background in food,” Cindy said. “My bachelor’s degree is in food processing.”
Bar Louie to open at The Olivia on Main By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Bar Louie, a national restaurant chain with more than 100 locations nationwide, will be the anchor corner restaurants tenant for the soonto-open Olivia on Main, a Keystone property located just west of the Carmel Arts & Design District along Old Meridian.

and will bring a new choice for growing midtown Carmel with all developments,” said Tiffany Oliver, manager of real estate for Keystone Realty Group. The Carmel location will have an occupancy of approximately more than 300 inside with another 100 on the outdoor patio. Indiana locations include Evansville, Green-
wood, Mishawaka and Merrillville. The restaurant will feature 40 beers on tap, 20 wines by the glass and 34 signature martinis. Menu items include flatbreads, beef brisket sliders, lettuce wraps, spicy voodoo chicken, street tacos and more. The Olivia on Main, named after one of Keystone president/CEO Ersal Ozdemir’s daughters, is on the southeast corner of Main and Old Meridian streets with a square footage of 256,000. The five-story building features 17,000 square feet of retail on the first floor with 204 luxury units, mostly one- or twobedroom apartments above. The Olivia on Main is west of Sophia Square, another property named for one of Ozdemir’s daughters. “The tenant mix will be similar to Sophia Square,” Oliver said. “The uses include restaurants and services. The only difference is the number of retail tenants. The Olivia will have approximately five to six tenants where Sophia Square has 12 tenants.”

Curry chickpea stew Commentary by Ceci Martinez It’s good to be a “flexitarian” - a word that describes vegetarians who aren’t that strict and meat-eaters who are striving for a more health conscious diet. Plant-based diets have many health benefits with their emphasis on fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes and nuts; this way of eating is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. This aromatic, vegetarian, Indian dish, Curry Chickpea Stew, is full of flavor, easy to prepare, and it’s even better the next day! Note: Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are high in protein, fiber and iron. Serves: 5 Ingredients: • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced • 3 (15-oz.) cans organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely cut in cubes • 2 bay leaves • 1 tablespoon curry powder • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 tablespoon minced, peeled fresh ginger • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 (15-oz) can organic tomato sauce

• 1 cup organic vegetable broth • 12-oz spinach Directions: Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over high heat. Add onion, garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened and slightly browned. Reduce heat to medium, and add chickpeas, red bell pepper, bay leaves, curry powder, cumin and ginger. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir all well for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Cover and simmer until chickpeas are soft, about 30 minutes. Add spinach a handful at a time until it wilts. Serve immediately with jasmine or basmati rice and naan bread. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

CCP to perform ‘The Odd Couple’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Cheryl Fesmire knows it’s a treat to direct a Neil Simon play. “I think it’s an almost pertheater fectly written play,” Fesmire said. “Neil Simon doesn’t waste any characters. He doesn’t waste any words. He’s really at his best with ‘The Odd Couple.’ I think ‘The Odd Couple’ is close to being perfect.” Fesmire will direct the Fesmire “The Odd Couple” for the first time when Carmel Community Players presents the play from April 15 to May 1 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 140. “I saw the movie first before I ever saw a stage production,” said Fesmire, an Indianapolis resident. “It’s not an easy play to direct, so that’s good. It challenges the actors. This play has work for actors on stage such as playing poker. There is comedy, but it’s touching, too, as you’re talking about friendships. I’m excited to be doing it.” Michael Patton (Oscar Madison) and Dave

‘File and suspend’ strategy going away Commentary by Joel Harris A little-known Social Security claiming strategy is going away after April 30 of this year. With the Bipartisan your money Budget Act of 2015, the strategy known as "file and suspend" will no longer be available to the American public. What is file and suspend? Under the current law, a filer who is at or past full retirement age can file for individual benefits and immediately suspend receiving them. This allowed a spouse or dependent to collect a spousal benefit off their record, in addition to getting an 8 percent simple interest growth to their benefits until the age of 70. The new law will allow anyone 66 or older to take advantage of this strategy through April 30. They can still file and suspend their benefits, which allows an eligible spouse or dependent to collect a benefit off their record under the old rules. That being said, anyone who is at, or will be reaching full retirement age before April 30, should seriously evaluate whether or not to file and suspend their ben-
efits before it is too late. After April 30, the file and suspend strategy will no longer be in affect. In a nut shell, for a spouse or dependent to collect a benefit, the original filer will have to file for their own benefit and be required to collect the benefit and forgo the 8 percent simple interest growth under the delayed retirement credits provision. If an individual files and suspends their benefits, all spousal and dependent benefits will be immediately suspended as well. One important caveat is if you've filed and suspended your benefits already, you will be grandfathered in and your strategy will continue to carry on before the new law is put in place. The time to act is now - so contact your advisor soon to see if it is worth your while to file and suspend your own benefits before April 30. Joel Harris is a financial advisor and president of Summit Financial & Insurance in Carmel. He can be reached at 317-507-1825 or at joelharris@tfamail.com

Klain, who lives in Carmel’s Village of West Clay and owns DB Klain Construction, surveyed his neighbors before opening Zing Cafe, 12710 Meeting House Rd., in August. “We bought this building, and we were committed to putting in a service-related business, not just another office space, but something that would serve the community,” said Klain, a 1990 Carmel High School graduate. “We also did it to prove that done properly things can succeed out here (in West Clay). We’re proving that.” Klain said the restaurant has surpassed projections at the start. The restaurant, which serves breakfast and lunch, is open from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “Seventy-six percent (of the survey responders) said that a sandwich and coffee shop was the next place they want,” Klain said. When Klain didn’t find a restaurant to come

in with the right vision, he decided to do it himself. “We created a broad menu base that was priced appropriately,” Klain said. Klain said they have brought in an unbelievable management staff to help. Among the part-time employees are his sons, Brady, a CHS senior, and Mason, a freshman. There is seating for 28, online ordering for to-go items and outside seating for approximately 26. “It’s an active community,” Klain said. “Everyone is out walking their dogs. We’ve got a bunch of regular groups, like a knitting group, that come in each week.”

Blueprint for Improvement: From the ’80s to modern living Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create a brighter, more modern and functional space the homeowners could enjoy with family and friends. 1. The fireplace was refinished in an asymmetrical style using new linear tile for the surround and quartz material for the face. 2. The fireplace hearth extended across the room to the new feature wall, adding additional seating and hidden storage to the room. 3. A media box was designed inside the fireplace mantle to hide behind the mounted television. 4. A new feature wall with custom lighting was built in place of the built-ins, giving the homeowners the perfect place to feature their glass collection. 5. New weathered concrete Coretec flooring and warm grey paint completed the modern space, giving it a cohesive look.
Before Background info: This Kokomo home was in need of a living room update. The homeowners built the home in 1984 and had not done any updating since. The living room needed to reflect the modern style of the recently updated kitchen. Their children also told them it was time for an update!
Before problems: The existing space was very traditional and did not reflect the homeowners’ contemporary style. The space no longer functioned well for the homeowners, nor functioned well with today’s modern technology. The space also contained built-in cabinetry the homeowners rarely used.

Making adjustments Commentary by Lorene Burkhart Now that I’m a veteran (two years) of life in a retirement community, I can say with aging certainty that life after 80 can be fun, stimulating and adventuresome. It takes a few months to settle into the routine of living with a schedule – much like going to college. Exercise classes, meals, activities and outings to grocery stores and other places are listed on the daily and monthly schedules. After a life of independence, adjustment to a structured life can be daunting. I find it remarkable and a tribute to the human spirit that adjustment is not only possible but also can bring new life to sometimes fading years. My nature is to look around and find where I can contribute. I’ve created a book club, luncheons with speakers and a variety of outside trips to museums and interesting locales. I created a purpose for myself while providing “larger lives” for
those around me. Sometimes it is heartbreaking to observe former purposeful people declining. Their lives become less and less meaningful as senility claims them, but being surrounded by caring people actually creates a surprising cheerfulness. There really isn’t much “remember when” conversation, more, “What’s next?” Today, some of the residents were hustling off to a casino amidst farewell challenges to “bring home the winnings!” Others were singing and enjoying libations in the party room. Dull? No. Of course, there are residents who choose to not mingle; they have their meals delivered, and they don’t make an effort to adjust to their new surroundings. Their loss. Lesson learned? Life continues and can be meaningful at any age. Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.
Dispatches Simple facial mask – Here’s a super simple facial mask you can use to tone and tighten skin. Beat two egg yolks, and apply them to your clean face, forehead and neck, avoiding the sensitive area around your eyes. Leave it on for 20 minutes as you relax on your bed with pillows under your feet. Do not talk while relaxing – the egg yolk will crack, peel and fall off before it gets to do its work.

Manicure tips – Petroleum jelly is very useful for manicures. When you open a new bottle of nail polish, put a thin coat of the jelly around the neck of the jar to keep it from sticking in the future. Before you use the polish, use a cotton swab to apply more petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. That way, any polish that misses won’t stick to your skin. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

The town hall of Brussels, Belgium, is one of the most impressive buildings travel of its kind in Europe. The city it serves is smaller than most people imagine. What became the Brussels town hall was begun in the early 15th century when Brussels was one of four capitals of the Duchy of Brabant, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. The Gothic building originally included a short belfry on one end and was expanded in 1444 by adding a larger section adjacent the belfry. In 1454, the belfry was replaced by a 310-foottall tower featuring an open octagonal pinnacle topped by a sixteen-foot-tall gilded statue of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Brussels. Michael, the only angel referred to by name in the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, is slaying a dragon thought to represent Satan.
