Bye, bye, boardwalks! By Pete Smith • pete@yoaurecurrent.com Long an eyesore and seldom-used because of its tenuous grip on the hillside below, Carmel’s Main Street boardwalk will government soon be retired in favor of freshly paved bike paths. The plan is to construct a new paved bike path on the north side on Main Street from Keystone Parkway to Gray Road. In addition, another bike path will be constructed on the north side of Smokey Row Road from Keystone Parkway to Cary Road and then on the south side of the roadway from Cary Road to Gray Road. The city’s efforts will make the areas east of Carmel High School far more pedestrian friendly. And perhaps the biggest coup is that taxpayers will only foot a portion of the bill. City engineer Jeremy Kashman said that 80 percent

of the costs will be paid for with Transportation Alternatives Program funding through INDOT. Construction on the Smokey Row and Main Street paths is anticipated to start in August or September of this year, said city spokeswoman Melanie Lentz. “It is our hope to have them significantly complete by the end of the year,” she said.

Compiled by Adam Aasen

What happened: The City Council added an item to the agenda to help restore the city’s budget. What it means: As a result of an issue with the Department of Local Government Finance, the City of Carmel had its budget reduced. The council had a plan to restore the cuts by specifying how much money from each revenue fund would go to each department. Even with this plan, the budget had a hole of about $700,000, with the cuts coming from street paving. Since the recent winter season was so tough on the city roads, councilors suggested using the rainy day fund to make up the difference. Mayor Jim Brainard agreed with this idea and suggested adding an additional $800,000 on top of that for road repairs. Some councilors expressed concerns with that idea, saying that might be too much to take out of reserves, which could hurt Carmel with its bond rating. Still, there’s plenty of time for the details to be decided.

Rehabilitative Care

What’s next: Per law, the city must advertise the budget changes and specify the exact amount, so the public has notice. Mayor Brainard asked that the ad quote the $1.5 million instead of the $700,000 because it could always be reduced at a later date, but councilors can’t approve a budget higher than it was advertised. The ordinance was sent to the Finance, Administration and Rules Committee which meets May 15. A full council vote is expected at the next City Council meeting May 19.

What happened: The council passed changes to the Range Line Overlay plan. What it means: After previously letting a controversial requirement expire one that mandated two-story commercial construction on Range Line Road – the council instated a newly amended version of the ordinance, which strikes a compromise on building heights. Two stories are required in some places but relaxed in others. The bill was passed with a final amendment to change the distance to the trees along the road.

What’s next: The ordinance was adopted and the zoning requirements will go into effect.

What happened: The council approved a contract for CRC consultant Mike Lee. What it means: There wasn’t any criticism from the council about the quality of Lee’s work, but during the last meeting some officials were concerned that they didn’t have the contract in front of them. Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Corrie Meyer released a mountain of data and information, so councilors unanimously approved Lee’s annual contract, not to exceed $50,000.

What’s next: Lee will continue to handle financial administration for the CRC.

What happened: The council approved a new Market District grocery store in west Carmel. What it means: The gourmet grocery in The Bridges commercial district was approved for zoning at 116th Street between Illinois Street and Spring Mill Road. Grocery store company Giant Eagle proposed the project last year, but there was some remonstrance from neighbors about the look of the building and noise created by trucks. Developer Tom Crowley made changes, and now even former critics praised the project during the public hearing.

What’s next: The store is expected to open in 2015.

What happened: The council held a public hearing for a new subdivision, Bear Creek What it means: Pulte Homes hopes to build the 93-home subdivision on 72 acres southeast of the intersection of 146th Street and Little Eagle Creek Avenue. The home density is expected to be about 1.3 to 1.5 homes per acre with prices in the range of $375,000 to $550,000. The Carmel Plan Commission gave the subdivision a positive recommendation in April and nobody spoke out against the project during the public hearing. Some councilors had concerns about the look of the homes but no major objectives were raised.

What’s next: Sent to the Land Use, Annexation and Economic Development Committee, which meets May 27.

Stefanie A. Flora, M.D. OB/GYN

Women’s Health Alliance at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital is dedicated to offering a unique perspective on the needs of women. Take a moment and get to know a few of our experienced physicians:

Beki Denman, MD Trained in high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Denman has attended more than 4,000 births. Beki chose medicine a little later in life than the average person. “I think I was just a late bloomer. I already had my family when I went to med school. Now I really enjoy taking care of young people in ways like delivering babies and high-risk obstetrics.” Married 38 years in April, Beki spends her free time sailing with her husband. Beki’s health tip for women: “Staying active is probably the biggest thing. You’ll stay younger longer. Don’t sit like a lump on a log.”

Stefanie A. Flora, MD Dr. Flora has a special interest in high-risk and normal-risk obstetrics, daVinci minimally invasive robotic surgery, and pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence care. “I like taking care of women, and that was really the reason I got into medicine. I think I wanted to make a difference in women’s lives.” Stefanie lives in Zionsville with her husband and her two sons. “Right now, my life kind of revolves around my kids, who are 6 and 8. They’re at those fun ages where you don’t want to miss anything.” Stefanie’s health tip for women: “Women really need to understand that they can’t do it all. They need to take

more time to take care of themselves. It’s better to slow down than get stressed out.”

Amy L. Moon, MD Dr. Moon has extensive experience with minimally invasive and other complex surgical procedures. A self-proclaimed “Hoosier girl” who went to IU schools for her undergraduate, med school and residency programs, Amy lives in Carmel with her blended family of eight children. “They range from 22 down to 2. It’s a multi-tasking, calendar-driven lifestyle for the most part at our house. But it’s lots and lots of fun.” Amy’s health tip for women: “I spend a lot of my day encouraging women to find an activity that they really love and enjoy and can do long-term. Once they start, they feel better and it helps a lot of things.”

Sara H. Murphy, MD Dr. Murphy is a board-certified OB/GYN and one of the few physicians in the Indianapolis area certified as a Menopausal Practitioner by the North American Menopause Society. An Indianapolis native, Sara was inspired to pursue medicine by a love of science cultivated by her father. “My dad worked at Eli Lilly and Company. He wasn’t a physician, but he was a research scientist. I love how medicine is a great practical application of science.” Sara’s health tip for women: “One word: exercise.”

CRC to settle Palladium lawsuit

By Adam Aasen • adam@yoaurecurrent.com

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission has agreed to settle its lawsuit with Hagerman Construction in regard government to money the company claimed it was owed from working on The Palladium. The lawsuit could have cost the city about $2 million, but CRC officials said they didn’t owe that much money due to “poor workmanship and other failures.” On May 7 the CRC met in executive session and then voted in public to approve a settlement amount of $730,000. CRC Executive Director Corrie Meyer said she is happy with the savings and eager to move on. She told Current. “We feel this settlement will be good for all parties involved and we can now move forward with the business of redeveloping our city.” The settlement is not final and has not been signed by either party. In total, the CRC has spent $1,727,797.85 in legal fees relating to The Center for the Performing Arts. “Keep in mind that it is not uncommon for building projects of this complexity and magnitude to have legal issues associated with construction,” city spokeswoman Nancy Heck said. Now the city hopes to put all of its legal issues regarding the Palladium to rest.

The CRC was also previously dealing with a lawsuit involving Bloomington-based contractor Crider & Crider. In 2011, the original claim for $2,634,434 was filed in a combined Crider/Hagerman lawsuit. In August 2013, the litigants proposed a settlement of the combined lawsuit of $2,011,746, but the CRC did not agree to that amount. The Crider portion was settled in February 2014 for $575,000. Combined with the proposed Hagerman settlement, the new combined total would be $1,305,000, which is $1,329,643 less than the original 2011 claim. The CRC will use $590,000 in funds held back during construction to pay for the settlement. The rest of the funds will come from savings in expected legal fees, Meyer said in a statement. The CRC said it would make payments on the Crider lawsuit and would in some cases delay projects to accommodate the costs, leading to questions about the budget from some city council members. “My only concern is the statement made that much of it would be paid from a retainage fund, yet we have been told there is no retainage fund,” Councilor Rick Sharp said in a statement. “Where will the money be found and how soon must it be paid?” The CRC still has an unresolved lawsuit against Steel Supply & Engineering which it is suing over problems relating to the Palladium’s roof.

Carmel city council approves arts grants after cuts By Pete Smith • pete@yoaurecurrent.com The city council voted to approve local arts grants, but at a lower amount than what was proposed originally government proposed by Mayor Jim Brainard. By its own 10-year-old ordinance, the council can only contribute 1 percent of the city’s annual budget to fund the arts groups. And by the council’s estimation, the original grant proposal came in about $50,000 more than the 1 percent stipulation would allow. After negotiations with the mayor and a separate action to restore the full city budget after cuts made by the state’s Department of Local Government Finance, the council decided to approve across-the-board arts grants cuts of 7.2 percent. Some councilors like Kevin “Woody” Rider favored protecting the original grant amounts of arts organizations like Carmel Symphony Orchestra, Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, Actors Theatre of Indiana and Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre that actually work to fill seats in Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts. That opinion did not hold sway, but it could become the Visit currentincarmel.com foundation for a to see the list of grants. revised process for next year’s grants.

Foundation issues even more grants By Amanda Foust news@currentincarmel.com Prairie Trace Elementary Teachers were recently awarded 1 of 13 classroom grants from the Carmel Education Education Foundation to enhance the collaborative teaching efforts in Carmel’s classrooms. The $837 grant will be used to supply two different types of webcams for a total of nine cameras. One type to be used for class instruction, and the other type to be used by students working on classroom computer stations at Prairie Trace. “We’re all technology-focused and inspired to find ways to bring that to our students who also love technology. Technology is often a great way to get students engaged and using 21st century skills,” said the recipient teachers, Holly VanTreese, Lauren Doran, Lauren Burk, Liz Hehner and Denise Dragash, in a statement. The cameras will allow all classrooms to be connected simultaneously for shared learning, but the work station web cams will also allow students to connect on a one-to-one level. The webcams can also be used to record lessons for absent students or to connect students in different classrooms who need the same remedial lessons. “We are very excited,” said Barbara Danquist, co-executive director of the Carmel Education Foundation. The grants signal a return to more generous award giving from the foundation. For the past five years it has only given out grants once a year, but thanks to more success in its fundraising efforts, the Carmel Education Foundation will now give out grants twice a year, and this year’s spring grants are the first result. In the fall, $12,000 in teacher grants was awarded, and in 2014 the foundation expects to give about $32,000 in grants, Danquist said.

Carmel couple to dive into the ‘Shark Tank’ By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com assisted living & memory care

On the ABC television show ‘Shark Tank’ investors Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond television John and Kevin O’Leary circle contestants, waiting to take a bite of their business. As a young Ball State University graduate at his first job back in 1998, Matt Griffin was thinking of a way to escape the cubicle life and came up with an invention while eating a warm corner of a brownie on his lunch break. Sixteen years later Griffin and his wife, Emily, have been chosen to see if any of the “sharks” sink their teeth into their invention on how to make the perfect brownie with their line of unique and high-quality bakeware. “We own a small bakeware company called Baker’s Edge. We launched in 2006, after we cleaned out our savings account to make the first prototypes in 2002.” Griffin said. “We launched it with our Edge Brownie Pan.” And that invention was born out of a particularly frustrating day at the office, Griffin said. “I was eating lunch and thinking about inventions as a means to escape the cubical, then it suddenly struck me while I was finishing my lunch with a warm brownie. I love corner brownies and a simple redesign of the conventional pan could give me a pan full of them.” So how do you catch a shark?

“In 2013 we missed all the open casting calls, so I emailed the show via their website and voiced our interest in participating, thinking we would never hear back,” Griffin said. “A month or two later I got a call from the show saying they were interested and would like me to fill out the standard application forms and shoot a video. We did and make it to the next round with multiple rounds of paper work, phone interviews and conference-call pitches.” So off to Culver City, Calif., they traveled and got to pitch their brownie pan to the sharks. “We were told over 35,000 applicants go for the show every year and of those, only 140 or so

get filmed, and even 20 percent or so of those never make the air,” he said. “So it’s been a wild ride for sure, and we are really happy our tiny company made it over all the hurdles.” So what makes their product good shark bait? “We make high-quality, heavy gauge, cast aluminum bake ware in the USA, that is meant to last years and years of use. It’s the stuff your grandma used but better,” he said. “We got our foot in the door with our game-changing brownie pan, the Edge Brownie Pan. We think the best brownies have moist centers, a paper thin crackly crust and lots of chewy edges.” The show airs May 16.

Carmel students to compete in national vocal contest By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Two Carmel High School students have been chosen to participate in the second round of the 2014 Great American Songbook Vocal music Academy & Competition. CHS junior Sydney Sorrell and CHS freshman Mattie Tom will take the stage May 17 in Ann Arbor, Mich., in a regional competition that will include a full-day workshop followed by an evening performance. Finalists from the regional competition will earn a chance to compete in a final competition during the week of July 20 in Carmel at the Palladium. At the July finals, one student will be awarded the title of Great American Songbook Youth Ambassador, $3,000, and the chance of a lifetime: the opportunity to perform with Michael Feinstein. The Youth Ambassador will serve for one year, with opportunities to perform throughout the year. And last year’s winner, Julia Goodwin, has served as a huge inspiration to 14-year-old Mattie. Well that and the memory of time spent with her grandfather. To reach this point in the competition she had to record and submit two songs. She chose “God Bless the Child” by Billie Holiday and “Orange Colored Sky” by Nat King Cole. The latter was a song that reminded her of her grandfather because they used to listen to it

when they were out driving. “I love that song so much,” she said. Mattie has been performing since she was 9 years old, but she heard about the Great American Songbook competition through her voice teacher, Heather Ramsey Clark. “I couldn’t believe that I made it,” she said. “It would be a dream come true to be able to sing at the Palladium,” she said. “Not many people can say they did that.” Sydney, 17, agrees. She had the chance to sing a solo during an Ambassadors’ performance in the Palladium and would love to do it again.

“It was amazing,” she said. She said she’s more excited than nervous after spending a ton of time getting her recordings ready for the initial contest submission. She recorded “Black Coffee” by Ella Fitzgerald and “Frim Fram Sauce” by Nat King Cole. She admits that she’s tried to check out her competition on Facebook – with some prodding from her mother. But that hasn’t yielded many answers. “I have no idea what I’m up against,” Sydney said.

But look a little closer next time you drive over the bridge at Blue Woods Creek. And take a leap of faith that there is a road. Because at the end you’ll find one of Carmel’s newest attractions – a championship-level disc golf course nestled in a secluded patch of woods along the White River. The park historically contained little more than a boat ramp, but local disc golf course designer Dennis Byrne said he had been trying to build a disc golf course there for the past 15 years. His dream finally came to fruition last July when he finished building the course after years of work. This season will be its first full year of operation and its coming out party for many regional disc golf players – if they can find it. Byrne even envisions building a second course across the river in Fishers and connecting the two parks with a footbridge. It would be the perfect setting to hold championship-level tournaments. And he would know. As president of the international Professional Disc Golf Association from 1993-94 he has traveled the nation to promote the sport – even establishing the National High School Disc Golf Tournament. It’s an event that Carmel High School’s team has won three of the past four years. Rapid expansion Byrne eventually decided to pursue disc golf course design full-time and formed The Disc Golf Company in 2009 after growing tired of laying off employees in his former position as an engineer with Yamaha’s marine engine manufacturing plant in Indianapolis. Since then he designed all of Hamilton County’s disc golf courses including two other Carmel courses at Lawrence W. Inlow Park and Northview Church. “For less than the cost of a tennis court, you can have a disc golf course,” Byrne said of why he sees the sport gaining in popularity. “If you don’t have a place to play, you can’t play.” ‘I was hooked’ “Disc golf is exactly the same game as golf,” Byrne said with a laugh. “You just use a different instrument of torture.” He notes that it has the same challenges related to wind and weather, and that tactics and strategy are important components

that keep a player’s mind engaged to make it more enjoyable than just walking. Byrne said an important attraction for the sport is that it doesn’t take much time or money to play. A starter set of driver, mid-range and putter discs can be obtained for about $9 apiece – if you know where to go. The person to see in Hamilton County is Hamilton Disc Golf Pro Shop operator Matthew Boals.

Hole 10 at Hazel Landing Disc Golf Course is incredibly challenging because the fairway is adjacent to the White River with only a few old sycamore trees to prevent expensive discs from floating into the permanent water hazard.

The 47-year-old Boals has converted a former 17-foot U-Haul box truck into a portable store. He travels to league nights on Tuesdays at Dillon Park in Noblesville, as well as from noon to 5 p.m. on weekends when kids are out of school. He said he got the idea for the mobile store while on a disc golf trek to Texas in the late ’90s and that this is his third year of operating the truck. He even gives 5 percent of the sales back to Noblesville Parks. Boals said he just wants to give back to the sport he loves, a passion he was introduced to 20 years ago from an old neighbor. “After three to four holes, I was hooked,” Boals said. Where to start Byrne said that disc golf also has growing appeal because it’s family friendly and parents can play with their kids.

“It’s a great life sport,” he said, noting that he still continues to play even with a hip replacement. Byrne recommends that people new to the sport obtain some discs and start of at the course at Inlow Park, which opened in 2011. Its open fairways will provide less frustration. The next step is the beautiful course on the south side of Northview Church. Byrne said the church built the course because its leaders wanted to welcome the public to its property. And they’ve even been known to bring out hot dogs and lemonade when large groups show up to play. But just make sure to get some practice in before attempting to play the course at Hazel Landing. Public Disc “Don’t take a new player there,” Golf Courses Byrne warns. “They will hate you. Carmel They will hate the game. They will • Hazel Landing Park probably never call you again.” • Lawrence W. Inlow Park The course’s trees are the No. 1 • Northview Church reason players cite for its difficulty.

Dillon Park • Morse Beach Park quitos and bugs, so make sure to Westfield bring plenty of spray-on protection. • Asa Bales Park “A local has named the last Fishers three holes on the course ‘Death • Cumberland Park Row,’” Byrne said citing the difficulty of making par through the trees. “After the last six holes on the course, you’ll feel like you went down a dark alley and got mugged.” Disc golf player Michael Stock of Carmel agreed. “This course will beat you up,” he said, noting that it takes about 90 minutes to complete a game. “It’s longer than most.” Player Sam Johnson of Noblesville advises people new to the course to try for good disc placement instead of aiming for a hole-in-one. “The short distance are misleading,” he said. But all of those reasons are what has made it a regional attraction for disc golfers in the know. Said disc golfer Keith Hannah of Sharpsville, “It’s more challenging than almost all the other courses around.” Online – Dennis Byrne has pioneered a unique golf course in Indianapolis that allows blind students at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired to play in groups or by themselves.

Kicking knee fat to the curb

F RO M  T H E BACKSHOP The few, proud … the voters And so another primary election has come and gone, with much discussion in the aftermath about low voter turnout. What has been missing from the discourse, though, has been examination. We can’t for any reason understand why Hamilton County voters stayed away from the polls – in droves, as they say. In our county, a paltry 12.1 percent of registered voters turned out to try to make a difference for their communities and our state and nation. To be so disconnected from the opportunity to reward or deny those seeking office is pure abdication if you believe the national polls. We’re told millenials, especially, were no-shows. To that group we would say, “People, this is your future. Are you satisfied with $17.5 trillion in national debt? Are you happy to have the state run (perhaps into the ground financially) a mass transit system? Your future! Your dime, your dance floor.” The sweeping back in of incumbents nationally was similarly troubling to us, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, where all the ineffective lapdogs seemingly have been rewarded with another term. The two-party system, as it exists today, wins with a low voter turnout. By not participating, we play into the establishment’s hands, and that’s why nothing ever changes. But is this what our home county looks like now? We don’t understand how any race in last Tuesday’s polling could be considered “not sexy enough” to bring out the vote. Every single race mattered. It’s about you, your community, your state, your nation and (ta-da!) your wallet. If you truly want change, then you will have voted in the primary, because that is the election that more often than not determines whether incumbents stay or go. The question becomes, then: Do you really want change? Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A success story

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans are a collaborative lot. In spite of the occasional primitive provincial urges, we manage to work together in advancing our mutual interests with some regularity. It is on full display when the six distinct chambers of commerce in Hamilton County come together for the immensely popular Hamilton County Chambers Collaborative Luncheon. The chambers deploy their collective power to recruit top-shelf national speakers to address a crowd well north of 500 people. It makes good sense. By identifying common interests and challenges, these business and community leaders accomplish so very much more than might be attainable if isolated. Speaking to the packed house at Ritz Charles, Patricia Martin, author of RenGen: Tipping the Culture, shared her extensive research on intergenerational interaction and even more specifically on the unique attributes of the so-called Millennial Generation. She warned of predilections that the Baby-Boom and Gen X folks might carry for this new crowd of Americans that insinuate an entitled – if not outright lazy – approach

to work and community involvement. Sure, there are distinct differences regarding the application of one’s work ethic, but research shows these kids care a ton about success. In fact, it measures as the top objective of a life well lived. Being safe and free from crime was a distant second; and education followed closely as number three. Success is a vexing term at any age. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the nuanced meaning of its attainment must most assuredly elude those who have the minimum seniority on the planet. So only in time will this word find its meaning for these young folks. But one can be bolstered by the priority placed on productivity. Won’t its mere pursuit, whether in building empires or homeless shelters, be to the benefit of us all? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

– Pablo Picasso

The first time I wore shorts this year I made a horrifying discovery. At some point between last November and now, I humor acquired knee fat. KNEE FAT! I ask you, good people of central Indiana, how does someone even develop cellulite at the knee? And no, it’s not actually on the cap or anything, but right above, meaning everything from the hip area and upper thigh region conspired against me to slide down towards my most needed of all joints. How could this have happened? Do I gain weight in the chest area? No, of course, not. That would be too convenient. Do I gain it in the stomach, where I could smoosh it all in with control-top undergarments? No again. All of my extra lard settles in the third quartile, so unless I’m committed to Bermudas or Capris, the whole world is gonna see it. My pasty, white skin isn’t helping either; it’s like I’ve highlighted all the dimples with a halogen spot. But I digress. The point of all of this is that I am now highly motivated to seriously get back into to shape. Sure I fooled myself into thinking doing one 30-minute Insanity workout a week could keep this 40-plus old body in top form, but I’ve always known it wasn’t enough. Even the push-ups I’ve added in to meet my New Year’s Resolution of kick-ass arms aren’t doing much. My solution? A triathlon! Not an Ironman or Olympic or even a Sprint, but a 400-meter swim, 12-mile bike, and 5K jog for babies. It’s scheduled for the first weekend in August, giving me about three months to prepare. And now that I’ve announced it to you, my adoring public, I am fully vested. Admittedly, I am nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before. I can run and bike and swim, just not all that well and definitely not consecutively for the sixty to ninety minutes it’ll take to survive. I’m also concerned about training. I have a 10-year old mountain bike with sketchy handle bars, no pool, and very little free time. But I’ll figure it out. I cannot go through summer with this extra poundage on my lower thighs, and I want to model healthy living for my kids. Besides, according to a schedule I downloaded from the Internet (where everything is true and trustworthy!), I really only need about two hours a week to fit in each of the three disciplines. A little freestyle here, a little cycling there, eat some carbs, drink some water. How hard can it possibly be? So goodbye, knee fat! You must find somewhere else to reside. This momma’s wearing shorts come summer. Peace out.

RE A D ER S ’ VIE W S Runoff fee more like stormwater tax Editor, I have serious concerns regarding the proposed “stormwater fee” for the citizens of Carmel. This is a proposal for a $4.95 per-month per-home assessment to essentially address rain runoff from your (our) property presented to the city council for approval. Businesses would be similarly addressed at higher fees. It’s a ‘rain tax.’ The details are complicated, but rather than a broad, formal fee (tax!) my comments are: Current construction drainage costs should be addressed by the builder or contractor and the owner. Hot spots of mature problems certainly need to be addressed but that can be done with specific bond issues or similar. What is being proposed is an Obamacare-style

Editor, In regard to Gordon Godsman’s letter about the Carmel Marathon, he must be new to Carmel, as this major inconvenience goes on once a year. 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. – 6 hours – is too long to have Carmel shutdown. Even the slowest runners and walkers in the last of the marathon take precedence over letting cars get through to or from work, home or shopping. Use the Monon, some of the wide sidewalks or four-lane streets, close off two of the four lanes, run around the high school, down the hill and around the stadium, but don’t shut us in or out of Carmel.

approach. Instead of directing effort and funds to a specific problem area, this proposal attempts to redefine the problem with global meaning, generate a whole new bureaucracy with independent funding and to create a whole new source of legislative mischief. My son is a professional civil engineer in Indiana and he has witnessed such plans as is proposed. What starts as a $5 fee morphs quickly to a $20 fee and it is done by fiat with no input from the citizens. It is a tax where nobody is to blame. The devil made me do it. We don’t need this plan. Find another way to solve the local flooding problems without a perpetual tax. Richard Gibson, 46033

‘Sleeping Beauty’ brings tutus and princesses to the Tarkington By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Princess Aurora will be played by dancer Erika Cole, left, and Nicole Retzlaff will play a lilac fairy in the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s presentation of “The Sleeping Beauty.” (Submitted photo)

“The Sleeping Beauty” • Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing arts in Carmel • 2 and 7:30 p.m., May 17 • Tickets start at $23 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will stage the familiar tale of “The Sleeping Beauty” at the Tarkington Theatre on May 17, and the cast believes it should appeal to a wide audience. “It’s a princess story, so of course you’ll get the little girls, but it’s also a very technically proficient ballet so it’s great for those who really know ballet,” Ballet said Erika Cole, who plays Princess Aurora. It’s one of the most well-known fairy tales, but the ballet version varies slightly from Disney’s animated film. There’s no Maleficent, the evil villain created for the 1959 film. The original tale was turned into a ballet in Russia in 1890 and features the evil fairy godmother Carabosse who casts a spell on the princess because she is jealous that she isn’t invited to her christening. As a result, Princess Aurora will prick her finger on her 16th birthday and fall into a timeless sleep until a handsome prince wakes her with a kiss. Artistic Director Suzanne Delay carefully picked costumes and dance movements to portray the forces of good versus evil in this production. “The good fairies, the lilac fairies, are in all beautiful, colorful tutus with sparkles and soft movements and beautiful lighting, but the Carabosse character, the evil fairy, is in black and has evil dancers with him with heavier music that is more ominous,” she said. Delay conducted open auditions to fill out the cast of more than 80 dancers. The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble has a company of about 50 dancers ages 8 to 18, so plenty of new faces were added for this production. Three professional guest performers were brought in for the show. Cole, who plays Aurora, will be dancing with Grant Dettling, who plays the prince. Both Cole and Dettling danced together for the Dayton Ballet company for about eight years, so they have chemistry. Cole recently retired from the company and moved to Carmel. Professional dancer Steven Wright plays Carabosse. Cole said she hopes that families will come see a beautiful interpretation of a classic fairy tale. “People enjoy seeing a different version of the story without words,” she said, “And it’s a ballet with a happy ending.”

Handbag Happy Hour a success at Lucas estate

NOW OPEN! Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

A sold out crowd of 300 gathered at the Lucas estate May 1 to bid on favorite designer, vintage and antique handbags being auctioned for the benefit of IU Health services. Methodist Hospital Task Core sponsored the handbag auction, which included a Louis Vuitton clasp purse valued at $3,100. Other designer bags such as Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Coach and Tommy Hilfiger garnered high bids. The purse drawing the most bids was a 1950s Bakelite purse in mint condition. Bakelite is one of the first synthetic plastics and is now considered collectible due to its retro appeal. A black silk cocktail purse like one given to former First Lady Barbara Bush rounded out some of the unique items. Only two of these purses were ever made, and according to reports, Barbara Bush still has hers. The one at the auction is the only other that exists. It sold for a reported $850. During the course of the evening, a total of 80 handbags were sold. Laura Steele, the exuberant rock ‘n’ roll radio personality from Q95, emceed the event and announced winners of the wine pull, with winners taking home rare vintages of wine valued at $100 or more. Ellen Frist, current president of the Methodist Hospital Task Core, noted that the handbag auction replaced the arts and antique benefit, traditionally held at the fairgrounds for 26 years. “We’re trying something new,” she said. “As a nod to the antiques event, we have the table of vintage purses,” President Elect Lisa Breall added. Theresa Goble, a Task Core member, directed us to the vintage and antique items table, which offered the 1950s Bakelite purse, a 100-year-old coin purse from Germany and other interesting collectibles. Of the 160 Task Core members, approximately one-third are Carmel residents. Those attending from Carmel and the metro area included, to name a few: Lisa Brandt, Mona Euler, Laura Gaybrick, Jane Tuttle, Linda Lugar, Sally Lugar, Ilana Mordoh, Dorothea Genetos, Anne King, Lauren Salerno, Karen Miller, Casey Miller, Sherry Fagin, Therese Coffey and Libby Miller.

Tale of wayward daughter at IMA

By Amanda Foust • editorial@youarecurrent.com

A local ballet company wants people to welcome the onset of spring with a tale of young love. Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, the Ballet founding artistic director of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory in Carmel, said that the group’s upcoming performance of “La Fille mal Gardée” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art will be a charming and lively tale. “The ballet is filled with colorful costumes and sets, beautiful dancing and a storyline that takes you on a countryside journey filled with so much whimsy, humor, and joy,” she said of the play whose title translates to “The Wayward Daughter.” The story is about a girl named Lise who falls in love with a young farmer, Colas. Marriage is not an option because Lise’s mother has arranged a marriage for Lise to a dim-witted rich man named Nicez. “The story of the ballet is the process of Lise and Colas falling in love and how they work through the process. It is very comical, light, and funny,” said Courtney Nesser, a senior at Indiana Cyber Charter School who plays the character of Lise. And Nesser said she has experienced a lot of growth through the variety of emotions her character experiences. “Even though this ballet was made many

years ago and is an old story, the principles you can take away from the story line you can still apply to life today,” she said. “It is very interesting to see the difference between marrying for money versus marrying for love and how Lise decides between the two.” Yakovleva-Randall has enjoyed her role in the ballet as well and said she takes the individual growth of her students seriously. “The reason we take on these huge challenges is to equip our pre-professional dancers with the experience of producing full-length ballets,” she said. Nesser had been taught by Yakovleva-Randall for almost 10 years of her dancing career and has plans to further her growth at Butler University in the fall. Her plans include pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dance performance and taking classes within the exercise science curriculum. “Her heart is as big as her beautiful smile, and I know she will do great things,” Yakovleva-Randall said of Nesser. “Come join us by being swept away to another time and place where we can watch young love unfold with an undercurrent of giggles and celebration of the glorious spring we’ve been awaiting.” “La Fille mal Gardée” • Toby Theatre in the Indianapolis Museum of Art • 4000 Michigan Rd. in Indianapolis • 2 and 7 p.m. May 17 • Tickets start at $15 • For more information visit www.

Carmel High School Senior Mary McDermott is uniting her passion for helping Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health and her Music love of the Palladium into a unique stage show called Music for Miracles on May 18. The proceeds from the show will benefit the hospital. The evening will include entertainment by several Carmel Clay students, interspersed with stories from students and remarks from Riley hospital staff and Mayor Jim Brainard. McDermott was inspired to organize the event through her participation in the student government sponsored dance marathon. McDermott will emcee the event alongside a fellow student government member, Leo Biette, who also is the soloist that evening. The Carmel High School Jazz Band will be the headlining performance, but the College Wood Elementary School Choir, the Carmel Middle School Choir and various soloists from Carmel High School’s feature show choirs will also take the stage. “The students speaking that night are members of our student government who have been patients at Riley Hospital,” McDermott said. “They have had the unique experience of being a patient at Riley and understanding the great impact the money we raise for Dance Marathon has on kids just like them. In this way Riley has

Our vision is that each year different Carmel Clay Schools performing arts groups would have the opportunity to perform and showcase their talents,” she said. “Music for Miracles” • The Palladium in Carmel • 7:30 p.m. May 18 • Tickets are $15; box seats can also be purchased by contacting Sarah Wolff at swolff@ccs.k12.in.us • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

‘Annie’ re-imagined for young actors By Terri Spillman • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Christian Youth Theater is putting its spin on one of America’s most beloved Broadway stage characters, little orphan theatre Annie, with a production of “Annie, Jr.” playing May 15 through May 18 at the Marian University Theatre in Indianapolis. Differentiating the versions of the play “Annie” from “Annie Jr.” is that every “Jr.” show is specifically adapted for adolescent voices and is shorter in length, making it better suited for the attention span of younger audiences. The theatre group’s twist on the play will include an added array of nostalgic music. “Our director, Ryan Shelton, had an amazing idea to add more music to the show to allow the audience to feel that they were really going back to the 1930s,” said Krissa Hatfield, a Christian Youth Theater board member. “Ryan and our musical Director, Breanna Campbell, joined together to find hit classics that the kids could perform and rock out to. It’s been challenging for the kids because it’s such complicated music, however, it’s really added a special feeling to the show. They’ve worked hard and it’s really something that we can call our own.” Several cast members reside in Carmel including the oldest cast member, 17-year-old Connor Tomlin who plays the role of Miss Hannigan, along with Carmel High School Student Jarrett

Yates, 16 who plays Rooster Hannigan. Other area students include, Grace Dearing, 14, who stars as Lily St. Regis, Elle Nichol, 12, who plays Pepper and MacKenna Mitchell, 9, who plays Kate. “In addition to these kids, there are many ensemble and crew members that are a part of the vibrant and talented Carmel community,” Hatfield said. In the play, Annie’s dog Sandy is the first thing the orphan can really call her own, and they develop a special bond. In this spirit, Christian Youth Theater is joining the Humane Society of Indianapolis to spread the word about pet adoption season and is collecting donations dog and cat treats to benefit the Humane Society. “Annie Jr.” • Marian University Theatre in Indianapolis • 7 p.m. May 15 and 16; 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 17; and 2 p.m. May 18 • Tickets start at $12 • For more information visit www.

Active versus passive management Commentary by Adam Cmejla

If you have money in the market, specifically in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, you may be wondering: Should I Finance use index or actively-managed investments? While everyone’s situation is different, let’s take a look at the difference between active and passive management. The first concept to understand about active management is that there are two broad-level ways to manage investments and they involve fundamental and technical analysis of the market and investments. Fundamental analysts consider such things as the past records of assets, earnings, sales, products, management and markets of a company in order to try to predict a company’s future success or failure. This would include analyzing the financial results of business decisions made by management. Technical analysis, on the other hand, is concerned with analyzing the price movement patterns of a company’s securities. Technical analysts use charts or computer programs to identify and project price trends in a market, security, fund or futures contract. They are attempting to predict future price movements based upon past price movements, and the underlying fundamentals are not important or taken into consideration. In summary, fundamentalists try to assess the “true” value of a stock, assuming that the market price will eventually adjust to the intrin-

sic or true value, while technicians try to predict the price movements of the stock and don’t care about why the price will move. What is interesting about both of these measures is that they are both trying to predict the future movements of the markets based on current data. The equivalent is also true of a weather forecaster: using current and past data, they are trying to predict the weather tomorrow, this weekend and next week. Moreover, they are also trying to “one up” the next station. I have seen the 10-day forecast be “one-upped” by the 14-day forecast, and I have even seen forecasters put out 21-day reports. In the end, though, it’s better served for investors if they have the “proper equipment” for whatever the weather brings: umbrella, sunscreen, a sweatshirt, a pair of shorts and a windbreaker. The equivalent in portfolio management is to ensure that you have a well-diversified and allocated portfolio, ready to capitalize on most any market situation and circumstance. But it’s important to note, though, that asset allocation and diversification does not guarantee there won’t be any losses. Just remember to control the factors that you can control: fees and expenses. Let the markets do the rest.

DISPATCHES Three beaten-down stocks to consider - If you don’t have time to shop around, here are three of the market’s top stocks to buy: 1) iRobot (IRBT) landed another multi-million-dollar contract with the U.S. Dept. of Defense to supply robotics and parts to the military. But IRBT shares have fallen 25 percent since their early March peak. Shareholders made a big mistake by selling. iRobot has managed to grow its top line in four of the past five years, and has turned a profit in all five of them. 2) Waste Management (WM) pays dividends – and increases them – like clockwork. And investors who wade into Waste Management now will find the yields on their investment in WM stock are a little sweeter thanks to a 13 percent tumble the stock took between November and March. Although shares of WM stock have advanced about 8 percent from those March lows, the yield is still an attractive 3.4 percent. 3) Brunswick (BC) managed to top estimates in every quarter of 2011, 2012 and 2013, the recreation products company - maker of fitness equipment and Boston Whaler boats, among other things - merely met estimates in the first quarter. As a result, BC shares sold off to the tune of 2.5 percent following the news, topping off what’s now become a 15 percent plunge from March’s highs. In the long run, Brunswick is still the same company that has had a multi-year habit of topping estimates and growing the bottom line. SOURCE: MSN Money

Michelangelo’s Marble Miracles

e l zz

Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1501, the overseers of Florence, Italy’s recently-completed Duomo gave a 26-year-old sculptor an already chiseled abantravel doned block of Carrara marble to see what he could make of it. What the young Michelangelo made was David, probably the most famous statue in history. The overseers had hoped Michelangelo, already known for his Pieta in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, could use the discarded – but still valuable – marble to create a prosaic statue to fit into a niche near the roofline of their domed cathedral. Michelangelo had grander ideas. He worked more than two years in his Florence studio releasing his classic image of David from the marble. When completed in 1504, David was more than 17 feet tall and weighed 12,000 pounds, making the intended location high above the ground impractical. More important, the citizens of Florence saw in the heroic figure of David a reflection of their own resistance to domination from Rome and the Medici’s and wanted the statue to be seen. They positioned David just outside city hall, his watchful gaze directed toward Rome. The statue quickly became the symbol of the Florentine Republic and its leading role in the Italian Renaissance. The sinewy David demonstrated Michelangelo’s extraordinary knowledge of human anatomy, garnered from corpses he dissected when only 18. But the anatomical correctness was too much for Queen Victoria, who received a replica of the statute as a gift from the Duke of Tuscany in 1857. She ordered that an 18-inch wide plaster fig leaf be hung strategically on hooks when she and other royal ladies visited the museum where David was displayed. After braving the elements for 369 years, Michelangelo’s masterpiece was moved into Florence’s Galeria dell’Accademia for protection and its position outside city hall taken up by a replica. Visitors to the Accademia can also see Michelangelo’s four “Unfinished Slaves,” in which incomplete figures seem to be straining to emerge from the surrounding marble. Whether Michelangelo abandoned these works or intentionally left them unfinished to show the struggles of human

Techniques to help control obsessive behavior in dogs Commentary by John Mikesell What’s OCD? Also called canine compulsive disorder and compulsive behavior disorder, OCDs have been defined by behavior researchers Andrew Luescher and Caroline Hewson as “behaviors that are usually brought on by conflict, but that are subsequently canines shown outside the original context … Compulsive behaviors seem abnormal because they are displayed out of context and are often repetitive, exaggerated, or sustained.” Luescher, a veterinary behaviorist and director of Purdue University’s Animal Behavior Clinic, estimates that about one dog out of 50 suffers from canine compulsive disorder. Luescher and Hewson suggest that examples of environmental stressors that can trigger compulsive behaviors include: • Physical restraints such as close confinement and chaining. • Social conflicts that arise from competition for status, changes in social group or separation. • An unpredictable or uncontrollable environment.

• A lack of target object for normal behavior. For example, a dog kept isolated has no normal outlet for its instinct to interact within a group, whether animal or human. Common OCDs include behaviors such as spinning, tail chasing, fly snapping, shadow chasing, air licking, flank sucking, persistent barking and “hallucinating.” Despite the intriguing names for these behaviors, they are not fun for dogs or pet owners. In fact, they can make life pretty miserable, and are evidence that the dog is living in an environment that is too stressful. WHAT TO DO • Explore, rule out, or treat medical conditions that might contribute to stress including thyroid. • Increase exercise on a consistent schedule. This is an important one. Not only does exercise use up energy that might otherwise feed OCD behaviors, but aerobic exercise promotes endorphin release, which has a calming effect. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Manage your dog’s world to maximize structure and consistency and minimize stress and the likelihood to will develop

compulsive behaviors. • Be on the lookout for any signs your dog is developing a compulsive disorder and address them immediately if they appear. • Avoid engaging in behaviors with your dog that are likely to elicit compulsive disorder such as chasing a flashlight or laser beam, or reinforcing tail chasing. • If your dog has an established obsessive compulsive disorder, seek the help of a qualified behavior professional, and realize that effective treatment will probably include the use of behavior modification drugs. • There is a long list of things that can cause your dog stress, and also quite a few things that can be done to prevent the problem.

Monon Center adds climbing wall Commentary by Pat Pickett

Just when you thought you had experienced all the adventures possible at The Waterpark, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is excited to announce the addition of the AquaClimb, which will be referred to as The Wall, just in parks time for the summer season, which begins May 24. Developed for poolside wall-climbing, the AquaClimb 3D Ice provides a 5-foot by 3-foot, clear acrylic climbing wall where kids and adults alike can safely test their climbing skills while getting fit. Climbers swim up to The Wall, and the climb starts slightly below the pool surface. They climb as far as they can without using ropes or belays, and when they let go, they make a harmless splash. In addition to a great physical workout, aquatic climbing works out the “thinking muscles” as well, requiring a combination of creative thinking and physical output. The Wall follows the 2012 addition of the Double FlowRider – Indiana’s only stationary surf ride. The dynamic adventure duo will make The Waterpark, at the Monon Community Center in Central Park, an increasingly popular destination for families. Visitors can come to surf the waves, scale The Wall, relax in the lazy river, cool off on the Adventure Slides and catch an adrenaline rush as they drop down the Plunge Slide. This is one outdoor aquatic experience unmatched in the region. And when you’re taking a break from all that adventure, take a rest in one of the spacious, furnished cabanas complete with privacy blinds, cooler, secured locker, charging station and ceiling fan. Cabanas hold up to eight people and are available for rental by visiting carmelclayparks. com. Rental prices range from weekday rates to weekend and holiday rates; discounted rates exist for late day rentals after 4 p.m. Rental rates begin at $29 for late-day weekday rentals and top out at $99 for a full-day rental on weekends and holidays. Tucked away in the natural setting of Carmel’s Central Park, The Waterpark includes a 3.5-acre outdoor aquatic wonderland for people of all ages, levels and abilities That includes an exten-

An outdoor retreat designed for year-round entertainment

Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in West Carmel, was built in 2004. The homeblueprint for owners’ vision was to improvement create an outdoor space that could be enjoyed year-round: “We moved in during the peak of the summer and spent a lot of time at local pools. We decided to add a pool of our own and do something about the deck.” While the pool builder focused on the pool, the owners realized they needed some assistance creating a complete master plan of the backyard. After looking at several 3D designs of the entire backyard, they decided to design an open covered porch which would connect the indoors with the pool area. EXTERIOR FINISH: The original deck was removed and a new stamped concrete patio with steps was installed. Structural beams and 6x6 structural columns were installed to support the new roof. To give the porch a cohesive look with the rest of the house, all of the cedar trim was painted to match the existing trim and matching shingles were installed. Trex composite railing in a black color was installed around the perimeter of the porch and on the small staircase leading into the home. UPGRADED FEATURES: In order to deliver on the homeowners’ vision, several upgrades were incorporated into the final design. An outdoor

RESULT: The owners were pleased they took the time to connect the pool area to the home by creating the new open-air entertainment area. The project exceeded their goal of creating the ideal spot for relaxation and entertainment for their family and friends.

kitchen was added with a built-in gas grill, mini fridge, storage cabinets and a limestone countertop. Infrared heaters were also installed in the ceiling directly above the dining area to keep guests comfortable throughout all seasons. The final touch includes a relaxing seating area just off the kitchenette with a perfect view of the wall-mounted flat screen television.
