Police investigating case at CHS news@currentincarmel.com As many parents and students in Carmel were preparing for graduations after another successful school year, the Carmel education Police Dept. issued a news release saying it had received a complaint regarding Carmel High School students in possession of inappropriate digital images on electronic devices. The Carmel Police Department then contacted the Carmel schools administration and immediately began an investigation. But the cryptic news release left more questions than answers. Such as what crimes were

police investigating? But despite repeated inquiries, neither the police nor the prosecutor’s office would confirm the purpose of the investigation. The school officials were also mum. Both Supt. Nicholas Wahl and CHS principal John Williams declined to comment. The lack of clear purpose or basic answers has led to wild speculation in the television news outlets, a newspaper and on Twitter with multiple students referring to the investigation as the “Freshman Holocaust,” in reference to a number of alleged suspensions stemming from the incident.

Home-A-Rama coming to Brookside By Devynn Barnes • news@currentincarmel.com Home-A-Rama is back and ready to “wow” residents of central Indiana. The Builders Association of Greater Indianaporeal estate lis will be welcoming people into five different custombuilt homes in the Brookside neighborhood of Westfield during the month of June. Tickets cost $15 at the gate or $12 online, and all proceeds of the event benefit the St. Vincent Cancer Walk taking place in Zionsville this September. After taking a five-year hiatus due to the downturn of the housing market in 2008, the builders association first brought Home-A-Rama back last year and featured homes in the Village of West Clay in Carmel. On the wake of a successful return, the association is excited to bring this year’s event to Westfield. “Home-A-Rama is basically a home show that showcases the latest and greatest in design, outdoor living and landscaping,” said Carrie Cason, the association’s director of communications. Cason said the event promotes housing and the housing industry, but the builders association also makes an effort to a pick a charity partner each year to receive the profits made from ticket sales. In regards to this year’s selection of the St.Vincent Cancer Walk, Cason said it was an easy choice. “It’s a local, community-based charity,” Cason

said. “Cancer touches so many of us, and it’s an important cause.” The Cancer Walk is a 10-mile challenge walk and 3-mile family walk through Zionsville on the morning of Sept. 20. The walk begins and ends at Lions Park in Zionsville, and the money raised helps provide programs and services for cancer patients at St.Vincent as well as gives access to life-saving screenings for those in the community who cannot afford them. Anyone who wants to donate to the cause can do so by buying a ticket for the 2014 HomeA-Rama at www.homeshowticketsonline.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate, and children 12 and under are free. The homes will be open from noon until 8 p.m. June 4 to June 8, June 11 to June 15 and June 18 to June 22. The Brookside neighborhood is located on 161st Street just east of Carey Road in Westfield.

2 CHS students have good chemistry By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School juniors Adit Chandra and Willie Zhu are headed to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado health to compete for one of four spots on the team that will represent the United States in the 46th International Chemistry Olympiad. The first step in their Chandra journey was winning a CHS competition in which only two students per high school could qualify for the next round. “This was quite an honor because Carmel High School is a powerhouse,” Adit said. The next step was scoring highly on a standard exam that featured 60 multiple choice questions, a written exam and a lab practical. From these test results the top 20 in the nation were identified, and these students were chosen to attend the study camp in Colorado. This study camp will include two weeks of vigorous learning about various chemistry topics. Students, who are provided with mentors to help them through this process, will receive college and graduate-level training. Every couple of days they will take exams, contributing to their running total of scores. Then, a combination of the exam scores and evaluations by the mentors themselves will nar-

row the field down to four students who will advance to the Chemistry Olympiad. “Chemistry is the future,” Willie said, with obvious excitement. “There’s a lot of cool stuff going on in chemistry, a lot of new technology is coming out.” He said he is eager to develop his capabilities and learn more. “I really want to know how this process has influenced the lives of the mentors there, Zhu since most of them have gone through this study camp,” Adit said. “I also am hoping to improve on my lab skills because you can trade these skills in a lot of other places, whether it be biology or physics as well.” And both Willie and Adit have their own mentors locally who have helped develop their love for chemistry and show them where it can lead. “No matter your chemistry level,” Adit said, “just taking this first initial exam can open doors, spark a love for chemistry or show how much you can learn.” New doors are certainly opening for these bright, young chemistry students. Both hope to pursue chemistry in the future and believe this experience will provide tremendous growth. If Adit and Willie qualify, they will attend this year’s Chemistry Olympiad, which is being conducted at the Hanoi University of Science in Vietnam from July 20 through July 29.

Vision: A coffehouse for families

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

An interactive, cozy-spaced and family-focused business is coming to Carmel this fall. Local entrepreneurs Tonya coming soon Bergeson-Dana and Jessica Beer are partnering to create what will be a play cafe called The Urban Chalkboard. The plan is to have it feature a unique and engaging environment for parents and children alike. Both Bergeson-Dana and Beer have been faculty members at IU School of Medicine for seven years and have PhDs in Child Development. But this business venture will be a new experience as both have spent much of their time preparing grants and working on research within the confines of academia. “We sensed a large gap between child development researchers and families,” BergesonDana said, “The Urban Chalkboard is our way of closing the gap between child development research and families with young children who can put the research to good use.” The plan is to implement child development discoveries into the play cafe. The toys and play involved will be centered around this development. Bergeson-Dana and Beer said they plan to use their science backgrounds in creating the play area for children. “We like to think of it as Starbucks meets Chil-

dren’s Museum,” Beer said. There will be a cafe for parents to enjoy a guilt-free space while their children are being entertained through the learning environment. The cafe will offer coffee, an assortment of light foods and WiFi availability. Families will also have the opportunity to participate in classes researched and developed by experts. The big message of The Urban Chalkboard is that it is a place where families can love going and so do their kids. “We want this to be a place families feel comfortable coming and really play a big part in the community,” Beer said. The Urban Chalkboard will be at 452 E. Carmel Drive in the Carmel Marketplace. For more information visit www.theurbanchalkboard.com

Carmel grad gains viral video fame By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

Carmel residents Marty and Megan Gregor don’t often get the chance to make the trip to Davenport, Iowa, to see their son fame Conrad Gregor play for the Class A River Bandits. Conrad Gregor has siblings that still attend Carmel High School, and Marty Gregor spends much of his time working as a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch. But the couple were able to make the long drive over the Memorial Day weekend and they got some seats behind the plate for the May 24 game. It was just the second game they had seen in Davenport. During the game, Marty Gregor decided to move to the right field wall that rests right against the Mississippi River. “It’s just a great place to watch the game,” he said. It was also an incredibly Conrad Gregor lucky place to watch from – so much so that even baseball’s statisticians haven’t yet calculated the odds of what happened next. With a swift crack of the bat, Conrad Gregor sent his first home run of the season soaring into the right field stands, and his father made a spectacular behind-the-back barehanded catch. “Even if it had broken all of my fingers, I wouldn’t have felt it,” Marty Gregor said. “I was so excited.” The video of the amazing father-son act quickly went viral online, spreading throughout social networks like Facebook and earning the father and son plenty of television face time on networks like ESPN and CNN. Marty Gregor said the exposure has been great fun. But it has also been redeeming in a way. You see, Marty Gregor played baseball as a kid, too. But football appeared to be the sport he was best suited for. Unfortunately, he wasn’t allowed to hone his over-the-shoulder catching technique on the gridiron as a wide receiver. Coaches told him he needed to play on the defensive side of the ball. “I was accused of having stone hands,” he said.

Marty Gregor celebrates after making a barehanded catch of his son’s first home run of the season playing for the Class A River Bandits in Davenport, Iowa. (Submitted photo)

And while nothing can undo the past, he wouldn’t trade anything for the present. “You happen to be in the right place at the right time. To watch your son live (his)dream is one of the coolest things any parent can do,” Marty Gregor said. Conrad Gregor has enjoyed riding the wave of viral video fame as well, and not just for the TV interviews. He said it’s been great to reconnect with friends and former teammates that he had lost contact with during the years. Now they’ve all reached out to him to congratulate him. Conrad Gregor said he’s immensely grateful for the helping hand that the Carmel community gave him – from his start playing with the Carmel Dads’ Club, through lettering for four years on the high school team to eventually earning a baseball scholarship to attend Vanderbilt University. After getting drafted following his junior season at Vanderbilt, he decided he couldn’t put off pursuing a Major League Baseball career any longer, although he still plans to finish his degree during the next two fall semesters. “I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else,” Conrad Gregor said. He’s currently batting .307 with a homer and 27 RBIs in 42 games in his first full season in the minor leagues. And as for the ball? His father said he still has it, but he forgot to get it autographed. “I just hope he isn’t going to charge me for it,” Marty Gregor said.

Library celebrating 100 years

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

The Carnegie Library will celebrate its 100th anniversary with two programs June 9 and 10 at the library. Events to mark the event milestone started in January and culminate this month with an open house and a program hosted by an Andrew Carnegie re-enactor. “The Carmel Library is actually older than that – it started in 1904 but was in the old telephone exchange so the community wanted its own building,” said library spokeswoman Beth Jenneman. “Andrew Carnegie was giving grants for libraries, and Carmel applied and got it and built a Carnegie library so we wanted to celebrate that. And of course Andrew Carnegie was just such a big deal throughout the country in getting free libraries for communities.” Jenneman said that’s because at the time it cost money to use a library. “It was unique, and he did it because he was too poor at one time to afford the money it cost to use a library,” she said. “So, he really was a driving force to having free equal access for everyone to a public library. That was his thing and is still our mantra today – we welcome everyone and that is the importance of libraries.” While it may seem the advent of e-books and other technology has made libraries a thing of the past, Jenneman said it’s actually the opposite.

“Most libraries across the country in the past few years have seen an increase in usage. Part of that was the recession and people using the library resources to job hunt,” she said. “Last year we had two million checkouts – the first time for us.” An open house from 6 to 8 p.m. June 9 at the Woody’s Library Restaurant will feature a display of historic library items and music by the barbershop quartet Coalition. Visitors will also be able to have their picture taken in period costumes. The highlight though, Jenneman said, will be Jeffrey Smith, an Andrew Carnegie re-enactor who will speak on “How to be a Millionaire.” The final program of the 100th anniversary celebration is 7 p.m. June 10 at the Carmel Clay Public Library and will again feature Smith as Carnegie. Both events are free and open to the public with a library card. You can obtain a card at the door with proof of residence in Carmel or Clay Township and a photo ID. For more information 814-3905.

When you are looking for high school students to create artwork, you might not think to look at the robotics club. But local artists said art they’ve found it to be a great fit. “We talk about left brain and right brain, and I think these kids have a lot of both,” said artist Jerry Points, owner of Eye on Art Gallery. The June 14 Gallery Walk through the Carmel Arts & Design District will feature beautifully painted chairs created by the TechHOUNDS, the robotics club of Carmel High School. District artists will work with these science whizzes for a contest that features $100 cash prizes. This year, the students will work with local artists such as Points, Susan Mauck of French Bleu, and ArtsSplash artists Bob Shade, Laura Liotti and Anna Afshar. Shade said these students have natural ability when it comes to art. “They didn’t originally think they had artistic ability until we worked with them last year,” he said. “They discovered all of this imagination inside of them and they created some really great works.” The Adirondack chairs are designed and constructed by Carmel students in teacher Zachary Bonewit’s manufacturing processes class. The chairs are then painted by about 10 robotics students.

Club adviser George Giltner said the project teaches the students important lessons. “The students really enjoy the experience because it is a little different than what they are used to, it takes them out of their ‘comfort zone’ a little bit and have them focus on art instead of just putting metal together to build a robot or writing programming code or wiring circuits for the robot,” Giltner said. Judges will vote on their favorite chairs at the June 14 Gallery Walk and all winners receive $100 and a free art lesson from Mauck. But why paint chairs? Special Events Coordinator for the city Stephanie Marshall said, “(It’s a fun way to) ring in the summer with bright and beautiful colors.”

Horror librarian seeks accomplices By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com Just the thought of reading horror books can be quite scary to even the most avid reader. As lifelong literacy advocates, Carmel books resident Kirsten Kowalewski and her late husband, Dylan, demystified this stereotype when they conceived the website www.monsterlibrarian.com. Monster Librarian is a labor of love that serves as a resource to thousands of school librarians, parents and authors on the genre of horror fiction. “Research shows that scary books are high on the list of genres and topics that children and teens prefer to read,” said Kirsten, who worked as a children’s librarian and elementary school library media specialist with a research interest in reading engagement. Monster Librarian contains hundreds of horror book reviews with information on age-appropriateness, and a blog “Musings of the Monster Librarian” that includes booklists, news, interviews, guest blog posts, and original articles. The site is primarily funded by book sales through the Amazon affiliate program and has garnered up to 30,000 unique visitors a month with the most popular season being Halloween. “While earning his MLS (Dylan) discovered that many librarians dislike horror fiction, don’t read it and have difficulty making recommendations to readers making requests for horror fiction

beyond Stephen King and Anne Rice,” Kristen said. “As a devoted reader of horror fiction he felt that this was a situation that needed to be remedied.” Kirsten hopes to continue the mission of Monster Librarian as a legacy to Dylan, who recently died at the age of 40. However, the site must support itself financially to cover the cost of hosting, professional fees and postage. She said she is looking for volunteer reviewers to help fill the void in the areas of Young Adult and children’s books and can be contacted at monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com, via Facebook or at www.monsterlibrarian.com.

It feels a little bit like the Biblical miracle story of the fishes and the loaves. But after just six days of $1 Popsicle sales VOlunteerism to the kids eating lunch at the Towne Meadow Elementary School cafeteria, the money-counting moms couldn’t believe their spreadsheets. The annual fifth-grade service project hoped to bring in $2,800 if the students sold every single Popsicle. But the revenue kept growing disproportionately, and they still had cases of Popsicles left to sell. When the income exceeded $4,500 heads began to nod with understanding as they relished a miracle occurring right before their eyes. The students of Towne Meadow had truly become a family, and when it comes to family, there are no limits. It was an awful day earlier in the school year when the mother of a Towne Meadow firstgrader learned that her daughter’s father had been killed in a car accident. There is no description worthy of the pain and agony the two must have felt. But the mother had no choice but to push forward, accepting condolences and sympathy as best she could. But she had a fear; it was the constant worry about how to take care of her daughter before and after school, plus during the summer while she worked for a local grocery store. Coincidentally, planning was under way for

the annual fifth-grade service project. Traditionally, the project was a fundraiser for the local food pantry, books for the school library or a new tree for the schoolyard. But this year, the Towne Meadow family would step in and direct the money raised to a “member of the family.” Kids should have come to school with an extra dollar bill in their pocket to plop down for a red, blue or orange Popsicle. But instead, their pockets contained $5, $10 and $20 bills. Principal Tim Phares witnessed the mini-miracle up close and said, “I am blown away by so many giving, giving families who were ecstatic to provide for one of their own.” On May 28, Adam Kerschner, Olivia Goldblatt and Zach Ohrn represented the entire Towne Meadow family and presented a check to the mother in need. The money will ensure a place for her daughter to safely attend after-school daycare this summer and all of next year. A sense of relief, tears of happiness and lessons in life were spontaneously shared among the greater family. Phares said, “As a principal, my goal is to develop well-rounded students who are willing to help their fellow man. I saw it today.” Jeff Worrell is a member of the Carmel Redevlopment Commission.He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16.

How effective is the program? Cook is quick to point out that he has seen a noticeable improvement in Westfield schools since the program was implemented. He notes that 98.4 percent of Westfield’s students now graduate from high school – a rate he claims is the highest graduation rate in Hendricks, Boone and Hamilton counties – all while seeing a decrease in the number of kids entering the juvenile justice system. “I think our school system has discovered we can show them a return,” Cook said. “And not only can we save kids’ lives, we can show an increase in the areas that they are already being measured by. It’s a win-win.” Cook said that no state or federal funds are used to pay for the program or its early intervention advocates. “It’s a social program, but it’s done without a lot of tax dollars,” he said. Instead, a nonprofit board of directors manages the program and multiple fundraisers are staged throughout the year to raise money. He said the program also got a grant from the Legacy Fund of Hamilton County. And Cook himself hosts a Westfield Mayor’s Ball fundraiser for the program. And Westfield is currently participating in an Indiana University study that aims to create an evaluation tool to measure the program’s successes, such as improving students’ most important attributes like honesty and motivation. Cook said, “If a kid is not equipped with the tools of life, all the education will mean nothing.” Willow Payne, 10, attends school at Maple Glen Elementary School in Westfield.

Carmel considers implementing a Youth Assistance Program to prevent kids from ending up in the juvenile justice system By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com “Can we save kids? And can it be cost-effective?” Those are the quesCover Story tions Westfield Mayor Andy Cook recalls asking when he was first approached with the idea of implementing a program to help kids turn their lives around before they entered the legal system. Even in an affluent community like Westfield, Cook said he realized there were lots of at-risk kids who would benefit. That was four years ago. Today Cook would describe the program as a resounding success that he credits with pointing more than 400 kids’ lives in the right direction. “If a kid is in trouble, the community wraps their arms around them and puts them back on track,” he said. Carmel considers the program Hamilton County Circuit Court Judge Paul Felix and Superior Court 1 Judge Steven Nation created the Youth Assistance Program and watched it spread after the success that Westfield schools achieved. The program has now been in place for a year in Noblesville schools and for the past school

semester at Hamilton Southeastern schools in Fishers. “It’s a community-based program,” Felix said. “We don’t tell the community what to do; the community tells us.” And while practices may vary, the concept is always the same. Schools work to identify at-risk kids and then connect them and their families with tutors, mentors and services that already exist in the community, but that they might not be aware of. The success of the program caught the attention of Carmel schools officials. “We are currently reviewing the concept,” said Steven Dillon, Carmel schools’ director of student services. Dillon said the idea grew legs after he and Nation worked on a committee several years ago. He’s also gotten plenty of positive feedback from his peers in Westfield and Hamilton Southeastern schools. He said that Carmel schools Supt. Nicholas Wahl and the school board would still need to approve the program’s implementation because it could incur some expenses. Carmel currently has counselors and social workers in every one of its schools, but Dillon said a Youth Assistance Program could function as an “umbrella program” to unite all of the com-

munity’s assets. “There’s never enough hands to do the work,” Dillon said. “This would be a nice addition to set on top of our other services.” How is ‘at-risk’ defined? “This is not just a mentoring program,” said Tricia Akers, the program director for Hamilton County. And some of its most visible representatives are the “early intervention advocates” that scour the community for resources to help the children the schools identify as at-risk. The term “at-risk” could be defined differently by each community, but typical at risk behaviors could include: • Tardiness • Absenteeism • Not turning in assignments • Displaying passive-aggressive or hostile behavior But Felix advises that the best indicator of an at-risk kid is when a child displays a sudden behavior change that would concern a teacher. Cook also noted that family factors such as coming from a single-parent household, being raised by a grandparent or experiencing a trauma are also factors that need to be considered. But whatever the criteria, the goal is always the same: reach the kids before they get to the judicial center. “We’re just two judges working to put ourselves out of business,” Felix said of his and Nation’s efforts.

Laying down summertime law

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP No racism here, Sen. Reid, right? You may have heard that our liberal race baiters are at it again, this time regarding the issue of the name of the Washington Redskins. Recently, while faced with record deficits, out-of-control spending, international ridicule, myriad scandals (Benghazi, IRS profiling, VA hospitals), our legislative giants took time out of their harried schedules to send a letter to the Redskins in which they urged a name change. Just how do these Mensa members juggle all these responsibilities? Anyway, in this letter, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and 49 other senators said, in part: “We urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the NBA did, that racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.” Well, all we can say is, Reid and his Senate brethren have proven that intelligence and deep thought have no place in the chamber. The debate has raged in recent years, but we don’t know how Redskins is racist. As Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen recently said, “The term Redskins originated as a Native American expression of solidarity.” We salute the Redskins’ ownership, as well as that of the Cleveland Indians and others, in standing firm on a team name in the face of the perpetually offended. By the way, where were the liberal race baiters back when the Rev. Jesse Jackson made his infamous “Hymietown” remark? ••• While seemingly most of the sporting nation and otherwise has called for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, we believe it’s time to pump the breaks. Irsay, a Carmel resident, was arrested and charged with DUI. There has been no trial, and it’s highly premature for the NFL to act. Give Irsay his right of due process first. Of course, this is the age of judge, jury and executioner-in-a-box, so anything’s possible (right, NCAA?), but we hope that won’t be the case.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Forced sale of Clippers a slippery slope Commentary by Terry Anker With its Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen penned by freedom fighters at the end of the French revolution in 1789, the “inalienable right” to freedom of speech was expressed: The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law. Most of us have a passing familiarity with our own founders’ attempts to instill a defense against the oppression of the prevailing view in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Even England asserted a freedom of speech in Parliament in its Bill of Rights of 1689. When in Rwanda a few years ago, I witnessed the traditional communal courts where people of “integrity” gather on gacaca grass to hear the open testimony of all parties to a dispute seeking a community-based (and community-supported) resolution. After the genocide the Rwandan courts were

overwhelmed with the masses to be processed. They employed these traditional methods to help dispense with some of the lesser matters. One of the most common criticisms was the potential for witness intimidation. The community had to value the freedom to express a viewpoint without retribution for the process to function. In recent U.S. history, Joseph McCarthy exploited fear about communism to jail, subvert, take property or make a pariah of any who dared to express their freedom to communicate a view unsupported by the majority. Would the hundreds of artists, business leaders and just plain-old folk who were labeled and ostracized because of a careless remark, identify more with Clippers owner Donald Sterling or NBA Commissioner Adam Silver? Can other people say things even if we don’t like it? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K “The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say ‘no’ to almost everything” - Warren Buffett

It’s finally time for my annual Summer Survival Guide. Thank God! I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen the movie humor “Frozen” so often or if this winter was simply that bad, but I find myself channeling Olaf twenty-four seven – longing for the warmth and relaxation only summer can bring (minus the hugs of course, even the warm ones. Blecht!) Because some of you are worth melting for, I’d like to share my plans. Because we all know what a nightmare it is to have minions milling about with no other purpose than to make up for lost time on Xbox. These children need structure and rules, and need to know that sleeping until 3 p.m. is not acceptable day after sun-filled day, nor is letting their bedrooms morph into a debris field of Oreo crumbs, wet socks and discarded plastic snowmen. So here are a few suggestions. Most have worked reasonably well for us in the past, and are back on the menu this year. Good luck, and remember, if all else fails: conceal, don’t feel. Hold a family meeting at Yogurtz or the like to share your expectations for electronics usage, chores and outside play time, and invite your kids to express their opinions. You’re not going to deviate from the limits you and your partner have predetermined, but allowing short people to feel as though they have a say over a quart of cake batter fro-yo will go a long way in enforcing said policies. Love is an open door when coupled with faux empowerment and sprinkles! Plan for an Amish day once a week. No television, no computers and no cell phones. Force your children to interact face-to-face with real, live people. Break out the cards, LEGOs and the Monopoly board, or kick them out of the house for a neighborhood Ghost in the Graveyard extravaganza. Do they even know what a book looks like? How about a bike? Regardless, for the first time in forever they can and will have fun without a power outlet. Be flexible. Playing Julie McCoy to a bunch of tiny Love Boaters can be exhausting, so if the nightly glass of Pinot isn’t dulling the edge, opt for a day off from the Summer Rules. Let them watch Walking Dead for eight hours, eat Waffle Crisp for dinner or play Nintendo until they’re cross-eyed. Let it go. Let. It. Go. Summer is upon us my friends, and laying a few ground rules is key to enjoying a mentally stable June and July. Here’s to a magical, Olafimagined few months, hopefully without an ice-queen rage blizzard. But I make no promises, especially around the full moon! Peace out.

Carnegie’s was not Carmel’s first library Editor, In 2007 I researched old papers from the Historical Society and the Carmel Library, and the actual first Carmel Library was started in 1896 by the Carmel Ladies Literary Guild. It was named “The Wednesday Literary Club,” and, although small, books were available in the Telephone Exchange in the vicinity of 27 E. Main Street. There were two wooden buildings there - the telephone exchange and in later years a flower shop. Previously there was a millinery shop. The telephone exchange in the early years was privately owned. The owner lived in the former house used by the Carmel Chamber of Commerce on East Main Street, before it was torn down a few years ago. I researched the library information and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission underwrote a plaque which is attached to the wall of 27 E. Main St. in Carmel. Pedcor underwrote a reception on the fourth floor at this event when the plaque was installed on Feb. 26 2007. It seems that this effort by the Carmel Ladies Literary Guild so long ago, should not be forgotten, just because we now have a glamorous widely-known library which is actually Carmel’s fourth. And the Carnegie Library was its second. The third one was in the building now used by the Legacy Fund. Doreen Squire Ficara, 46033

Snyder wrong on CRC lawsuit Editor, During a recent Carmel city council meeting, councilor Luci Snyder rattled off a litany of reasons as to why the request by Mayor Jim Brainard for additional money to fix streets should be denied. Specifically, she was defending her opposition for an additional $800,000 to come from the city’s rainy day fund. As she often likes to do, she included the Carmel Redevelopment Commission as a body which has required fiscal intervention while confirming her expertise on the subject. When the mayor asked the council to reconsider his request for additional road repair money because of the harsh winter, she said, “Rainy day funds exist for emergencies. A harsh winter is one of them. Another is a large pending lawsuit hanging over the CRC. If they lose, … money will have to come out of rainy day fund.” Although not well articulated, she meant if the lawsuit goes against the CRC, the money to pay will have to come from the RDF and thus it should not be used for streets. One slight problem with her logic is a glaring detail she overlooks. There is no lawsuit hanging over the CRC which would result in a payout. The CRC has filed a Palladium construction claim against a contractor for shoddy workmanship. As a plaintiff, there is no penalty for losing, but if a judgment goes in favor of the CRC, the commission stands to gain up to $6 million dollars. Although anyone can misspeak, it does seem odd for councilor Snyder to not comprehend the elementary difference between plaintiff and defendant. Tom Schmith, 46032

Support Relay For Life Editor, As a cancer survivor and patron of a Tom Wood dealership, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to Tom Wood dealerships for their extraordinary commitment to raise $100,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Carmel Relay For Life event to be conducted from 9 a.m. June 7 to 9 a.m. June 8 at Creekside Middle School, 3525 W. 126th St. Tom Wood lost his personal fight with cancer, and his family’s unwavering dedication to the fight against cancer, the selfless efforts of their employees and the generosity of their patrons is affecting cancer patients and their families here in our community. Between the recent Tom Wood Memorial Gala dinner that featured Indianapolis Colts Coach Chuck Pagano as guest speaker and the Tom Wood Memorial Golf Outing held at the Purgatory Golf Course, the two events raised $80,000 towards this goal. The funds raised for the Carmel Relay For Life will contribute to research advances that are being done here in Indianapolis I encourage the residents of Carmel to embrace this community event. Put together a team, bring the family and walk the track, donate at any of the Tom Wood dealerships, attend the survivor/caregiver reception, honor a hero by purchasing a luminaria bag and attending the Remember Luminaria Ceremony, as well as enjoy all the fun activities that will be going on throughout the night.

Lindell to play at Amp After Dark By Jessica Fox jessica@currentincarmel.com

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday night summer concert series in Fishers will feature vocalist and songwriter Eric Lindell on June 6. Special music guest Zach Day will be opening for this event. The inaugural Amp After Dark concert series will kick off with Lindellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance and will feature different artists through Aug. 29. This will be the nationally-known singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time performing in the Fishers area. Lindell said he did not really come from a musical family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he first found his love of music while jamming with a group of friends that he grew up with. And what started out as passion has grown into a career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things you get hooked on. I got the bug at an early age,â&#x20AC;? Lindell said when referring to his passion for music. To those who have not come across his songs, Lindell describes his style as a little bit of everything. What we now commonly call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Americanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music, his songs are infused with the sounds of country, rock and blues. Lindell said some of his greatest musical influences are blues artist Junior Wells and the soul-singing group The Impressions. But he often finds inspiration for his own original music in his everyday life.

Understanding depression in men Commentary by Chintan Amin, MD Clinical depression is a disease that affects both women and men. In fact, it’s estimated that more than six million men in wellness the United States suffer from depression. For both males and females, symptoms of depression include loss of interest in enjoyable activities, fatigue, appetite changes, difficulty sleeping and apathy. When it comes to depression, the difference between men and women is often observed in how males and females express the symptoms. While women may tend to feel sad when they are depressed, cultural norms don’t easily permit men to express these same feelings. As a result, men suffering from depression may instead focus on the physical symptoms, such as feeling tired, rather than the emotional ones. They also may become irritable, less communicative, withdrawn and in some cases, more aggressive. For these reasons, it can be difficult to diagnose depression in men. Even when exhibiting the signs and symptoms, many men may fail to recognize the problem as depression. A primary care doctor can help determine whether symptoms are a sign of depression or some other health concern. Some medications can cause side effects similar to the symptoms of depression, so if you take medication, it’s important to see your doctor to rule that out. A physician can also refer you to a psychiatrist or therapist, if

signs point to depression. The good news is that depression can be treated successfully in more than 80 percent of people. Treatment methods may include antidepressant medications, psychotherapy or a combination of the two. In addition to scheduling an appointment with a primary care doctor, there are some things that men – and women, for that matter – should keep in mind when considering ways to improve mental health and well-being: • Build and maintain a network of trusted family and friends to provide support when needed. • Exercise regularly. Studies show that exercise can relieve stress and help with symptoms of depression. • Look closely at your life to see if and how changes can be made to make life happier and more fulfilling.

Ruins of Qumran, near the Dead Sea (Photo by Don Knebel)

Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1946, Bedouins exploring caves near Jericho found the first of the “Dead Sea Scrolls.” Who wrote them and why they were travel hidden is still disputed, but their effect on understanding first century Jewish beliefs is undeniable. Archaeologists searched near where the Bedouins found the first seven scrolls and eventually discovered more than 950 complete manuscripts and fragments in 11 additional caves, with Cave 4 yielding the largest cache. Some scrolls include at least portions of all the books of the Hebrew Scriptures except Esther, pushing the dates of the oldest known copies of those books back about 1,000 years. Others contain recognized books not in the Hebrew Scriptures, including Jubilees and 1 Enoch. The most interesting scrolls include previously unknown Jewish writings, some describing a mysterious “Teacher of Righteousness.” Scroll 4Q521, evoking Isaiah 61, says the Jewish Messiah “will heal the wounded, and revive the dead and bring good news to the poor.” That prediction is the earliest known writing linking the expected Messiah with the resurrection of the dead, a concept important to early Christians. After finding the Dead Sea Scrolls, archaeolo-

gists excavated the nearby ruins of Qumran, unearthing a narrow room, ceremonial baths, pottery and inkwells. Some scholars are convinced Qumran was home to the Essenes, a strict first century Jewish sect, who wrote or copied the scrolls in their “scriptorium.” Qumran guides recite this idea, speculating that John the Baptist may have been an Essene. Others argue, with equal conviction, that Qumran was a villa, a fortress or perhaps a pottery factory having no connection with the scrolls, which they claim were hidden by people fleeing Jerusalem before its fall in 70 A.D. Others believe the scrolls were written at Qumran, but not by Essenes. No matter who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls, their discovery has added greatly to understanding the diversity of Jewish thinking about the Messiah at the time of Jesus. Their discovery has also spurred a new interest in the Essenes, known from the writings of first century historian Josephus but largely ignored because of the Biblical emphasis on the Sadducees and Pharisees.

Open up a financial- or business-related newspaper, magazine or website and you’re bound to see an article that will offer to give some advice or finance perspective on a variety of financial topics. Indeed, all of my articles have followed this same intention. A topic that is covered much less, though, is how to evaluate a financial professional or their firm and the differences between the many business models. My next series of columns will attempt to do just that, and I sincerely hope readers find it both informative and that they aid people in better understanding our profession. I’ve been told by many people that I’m not like a typical financial advisor they’ve experienced or what they’d expect out of a financial advisor. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but when I hear of some of the previous experiences of both clients that we work with and friends that I have, I tend to lean towards the former. People that know me know that two of my core values are transparency and honesty, which is ironic given the often-time mistaken direct association of financial advisors and Wall Street. Just as there is lack of transparency on Wall Street, though, I feel that there is also a lack of transparency and parody within our industry of providing financial advice and recommendations to the public. I’ve often used the metaphor that our industry and

plethora of business models make our profession “clear as mud.” Whether it’s the laundry list titles that advisors operate under, the designations that you’ll see after advisors’ names, the names of the businesses that they operate under, the vehicles that they use for clients’ assets or the selling methods and tactics that are used to gain new clients, my goal and intention will be to lift the veil of our industry and give you a peek inside. There are some both inside and outside of our profession that will use the defense “buyer beware” when it comes to making purchases, including starting a relationship with an advisor. However, it’s hard for the buyer to beware when the buyer doesn’t even know what to be aware of when interacting with an advisor. I’ve heard the phrase “I’m not sure what to even look for or what questions to ask” when having the discussion of evaluating our profession and learning about a financial advisor or their firm and how they do business. My intention and goal is to at least give you the starting blocks and roadmap to either have that conversation with a potential financial advisor or learn more about the relationship you may already have with a person or their firm.

Over-the-counter Cialis by 2017? Eli Lilly and Company has plans to make money off of its popular Cialis brand after its patent expires. Cialis has been a money maker, topping $2 billion in sales last year, even surpassing Viagra. But when Cialis goes generic in 2017, Lilly hopes a licensing deal will keep the money coming in. Lilly has partnered with Sanofi to sell the drug over the counter, if the companies can secure regulatory approval. SOURCE: Wall Street Journal Half of U.S. adults’ computers have been hacked in past 12 months - Hackers have exposed the personal information of 110 million Americans in the last 12 months alone. That massive number, tallied by Ponemon Institute researchers, is made even more mind-boggling by the amount of hacked accounts: up to 432 million. The damage is real. Each record typically includes personal information, such as your name, debit or credit card, email, phone number, birthday, password, security questions and physical address. And even if only basic information about you is stolen, that can easily be paired with stolen credit card data, empowering impostors. SOURCE: CNN Money

This bright micro-space reminds me of oldworld courtyards that you may have explored in southern historic downtowns indoors like New Orleans and Savannah. Tight spaces have such an incredible opportunity to draw people in and provide a sense of romance or intrigue. Previous to the early spring 2013 update, this landscape had grown tired and suffered from last winter’s heavy snow. The arborvitae failed miserably and we were thrilled to replace them with an authentic boxwood hedge flanked by stately blue holly. Fortunately, the multiple stem riverbirch remains healthy and produces fantastic shade in blazing August afternoons. The rich evergreen pachysandra groundcover (yes, this delicate beauty is evergreen) creates a lush green carpet under the birch and is a striking contrast to the fragrant, blue flowering catmint perennial. Notice the Indiana-snapped limestone bed edge snuggled in the foreground of the pachysandra. It behaves as a small seat wall and is a great resting place for candles, plates and drinks when entertaining. It’s a clever way to ease elevation changes and is a trusted conversation stimulant about using local materials and being environmentally friendly. Without apologizing, the low slung, shocking green seating steals the show. Frankly, it’s not

that comfortable, but the contemporary lines dazzle the space and fits well. STRATEGY … a boring patio/tired deck can be instantly rescued with bold furniture, a colorful rug and a handful of accessories. Expect to spend more than you would prefer on stunning furniture, but it will be worth the investment and costs considerably less than a new patio. Want to explore this courtyard more?
