2 more candidates interested in Fifth District seat By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two candidates announced plans in the last two weeks to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in ELECTION Indiana’s Fifth District. Christina Hale, a former Democratic state representative from Indianapolis, announced her candidacy July 11, and Ken Tucker, a stay-atHale home dad and former teacher from Westfield plans to run as an independent. U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, a Republican, is retiring when her term ends in 2020. Previously, Dee Thornton, a Democrat from Carmel, Jennifer Christie, a Democrat from Indianapolis, and Micah Beckwith, a Republican from Noblesvile, announced their intentions to run for the open seat. Hale represented District 87 in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2016 and was John Gregg’s running mate in his unsuccessful bid for governor in 2016. In a previous campaign, she was endorsed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, which typically supports Republicans, and the AFL-CIO, a labor organization that usually supports Democrats. She said she has developed a proven record for reaching across the aisle to get things done. The Fifth District, which includes all or part of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties, has sent a Republican to Congress in every election since it was formed in 2000, but Hale is among several Democrats who believe that could soon change. “Nobody expected me to win in 2012, but when you’re talking to people about things that really matter to them and they develop personal and professional trust in you, then people vote on the candidate rather than broader partisan habits,” she said. Hale, 47, said her campaign will focus on access to affordable health care, job creation and retaining talent in Indiana. Hale has one son and lives in Broad Ripple with her husband and two dogs. She is executive director of youth programs at Kiwanis International but plans to soon begin campaigning full time. Tucker, who spent 12 years as a teacher with Noblesville Schools, said he’s voted for Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians in the past and would bring an independent voice to Congress.

Tucker, 39, quit teaching to stay home with his two young daughters and said building a brighter future for them and other children he’s taught through the years inspired him to run. “I’m going to try to do everything I can to give (my daughters) what they need moving forward,” he said. Tucker said his campaign will focus on protecting the vulnerable, such as children and people with disabilities, and increasing green initiaTucker tives. He also wants to address education funding. “In terms of fixing the funding we have at the state level, I want to get to a place where we don’t have to have individual districts pass referenda every two or three years,” Tucker said. Learn more about Tucker at AGuyFromIndiana.com.

‘NOT INTERESTED’ As candidates continue to announce plans to run for Congress in Indiana’s Fifth District, at least one official who previously considered the job will not enter the race. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he is “not interested” in running for Congress after recently winning a tough primary election to retain his position. He is unopposed in the general election. Brainard “You can have a lot more impact on people’s lives (as mayor), and I committed to be mayor,” he said. “I’m anxious to get started on the next term.” In 2016, Brainard said he’d consider the possibility of heading to Congress after U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks announced she was interested in becoming governor after former Gov. Mike Pence became Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election. Brooks was not selected to replace Pence, which led to her Congressional seat not becoming available at that time. Brainard spoke highly of the work accomplished by Brooks, who recently announced she will retire at the end of her term. “Susan has done a wonderful job representing the citizens of this area,” Brainard said. “She has spoken out on a number of issues of importance.”

Pauley did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Brainard’s first grandchild was born in January. Three months later, Pauley alleged that Brainard had harassed her in 2016 by repeatedly attempting to pursue a romantic relationship. Brainard denied the allegations and said that he and Pauley were in a brief “mutual and equal relationship” in 2016.

CBD SOURCED WISELY™

CPD receives K-9 naloxone kits from nonprofit By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com

Professionals providing CBD tinctures, topicals, edibles and everything in between. Carmel 116th & Keystone, next to Starbucks

In recent years, the opioid epidemic has spread quickly in Indiana. But drug abusers SAFETY aren’t the only ones who feel its effects. Police officers face threats when interacting with drug users, as do their K-9 partners. “Our dogs are trained to indicate when there’s a presence of narcotics, which is a tremendous tool,” said Lt. J.J. Semester, Carmel Police Dept. public information officer. “However, contact with those substances is the same for a dog as it is for a human being. A tiny amount could have a drastic or very deadly result for the K-9 officer.” Fortunately, the effects of narcotics can be reversed by naloxone, commonly known by the brand name Narcan. CPD recently received free K-9 naloxone kits to utilize in an emergency from Vested Interest in K-9s. Each package contains two doses of naloxone, one hard plastic

NarCase and one holster. “Each kit comes with two spray bottles,” Semester said. “They’re already pre-mixed, and they squirt one in each nostril of the canine. The effects are almost immediate.” Vested Interest in K-9s offers the kit to police departments across the U.S. that meet certain criteria. “Last year, we implemented a grant for $31,000 to provide working dogs in the United States with Narcan kits,” said Sandy Marcal, founder and president of Vested Interest in K-9s. “That money provided 300 Narcan kits. This year, we expanded the grant to cover 500 kits.” The organization felt it was essential to provide the kits for free. “We find that a lot of these departments just can’t afford to purchase these for the dogs or even know they’re available,” Marcal said. Semester said the kits will protect the health of CPD’s four K-9s. “It’s imperative that we maintain the safety of our officers and the dogs,” Semester said. For more, visit vik9s.org.

City to celebrate rebuilt Brookshire Clubhouse By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com To say the redesigned Brookshire Clubhouse is an upgrade might be a bit of an understatement, according to Bob Higgins, general manager of BrookCITY NEWS shire Golf Course. The new building will officially celebrate its grand opening July 24 but has already drawn rave reviews from those who have seen it, Higgins said. “Everybody is ecstatic,” Higgins said. “Walking into the Cool Creek banquet room and the hallway with all of the wood and gorgeous views and natural lighting, I’ve seen jaws drop.” The City of Carmel purchased Brookshire Golf Course in 2006 for $2.6 million in part to ensure it wouldn’t be redeveloped. The new building is much larger than the old one and includes a variety of spaces that can be used to host everything from weddings to small-scale meetings. It also includes space on the lower level to store the club’s 68 golf carts, which previously were kept at multiple on-site locations. “It was a big time-waster.

back up,” Higgins said. “This has made us a lot more concise in what we’re doing.” The clubhouse at 12120 Brookshire Pkwy. includes an expanded pro shop and café area that the city wants to contract with an outside vendor to manage. The $10 million project also included a

new pool house across the parking lot from the clubhouse. Future upgrades at Brookshire include golf course bridge reconstruction, which is expected to improve the pace of play without impeding the creek. That project is expected to start in the fall.

Yes, it’s rocket science By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Ryan Woebkenberg and his daughter, Katie, are ready for another competition. The Carmel residents COMPETITION have worked diligently to improve their model rockets since competing one year ago in the FAI World Championships for Space Models in Wloclawek, Poland. “The competition has really improved,” Ryan said. “I had a disqualified boost, the rocket motor portion of the flight, because I inadvertently flew into the sun on my first flight and I lost visual on the model. Katie flew better than I did, but still not quite well enough to win a medal.” The Woebkenbergs fly rocket gliders, which shoot into the sky from a launch pad using a model rocket engine and glide to the ground. Radio controls allow Katie, 14, and Ryan to use a transmitter to send signals to a receiver on their model to control its direction, height and roll. Next up is the National Association of Rocketry’s Annual Meet at the International Aeromodeling Center in Muncie. From July 27 to Aug. 3, rocket flyers from across the na-

tion will meet to compete in various events. The first three days consist of team selection events for the 2020 World Championships in Romania. The second portion involves four days of national championship competition. All events are open to the public for viewing. In addition, NAR will offer a Fly it/Take it program for those who have never flown a rocket or those younger than 13. Interested visitors can select a rocket, add a motor and recovery system with help from an experienced flyer, fly it on the sport range and take it home.

The world’s fastest Gran Fondo is moving to Coxhall Gardens. Rollfast, a cycling organization based in Carmel, will CYCLING conduct its annual Gran Fondo race, or “big ride,” Sept. 15 at the 125-acre park on the west side of Carmel. The event was previously conducted at Carmel City Center. Gran Fondos are longdistance road cycling rides. Matt Tanner, Rollfast founder, said the event was moved to accommodate growth and its new distinction as the World Championship event for the 2019 Gran Fondo World Tour, a series of 17 races where riders accumulate points to try to earn the title of series champion. “When we were asked to become the World Championship for the Gran Fondo World Tour, we wanted a venue that could show the international crowd the amenities and the sophistication that Carmel has,” Tanner said. Tanner left a career in web design to found Rollfast, a company that uses cycling to support wellness. When he learned of other Gran Fondos around the world through his own participation in competitive cycling, he brought the idea to Indiana. “We discovered that (with) the Rollfast Fondo, our draw was the speed,” he said.

“The speed of our event is the fastest 100mile timed race in the world.” The seventh Rollfast Gran Fondo begins and ends at Coxhall Gardens. There are two route options, pending municipal approval, including the Gran Route of 101 miles and the Medio Route of 66.2 miles. Proceeds from the event benefit the Rollfast Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention. Non-riders can enjoy the free Rollfast festival beginning at 10 a.m. Wristbands will be available for purchase for unlimited food and drinks from Sun King Brewery, 1205 Distillery and several other vendors.

CCHS helps organize reunion By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

SATURDAY, JULY 27

Darron Chadwick had a different intent when he created the “I Grew up in Carmel” Facebook page in FUNDRAISER January. “My grandmother (Edna Askren) passed away (in 2006). I inherited all of her stuff and was trying to figure out what to do with it,” Chadwick said. “I listed it at garage sales and it wasn’t working. I had tons Chadwick of stuff. I started this page, and within a week I had a thousand followers. You don’t really want to sell it at that point. It blew up to five thousand members in two months. It was a rocket ship. They talked about the history of Carmel. It was very nostalgic.” Chadwick said he never got a chance to list things before the page took off, so he decided to keep his grandmother’s belongings. Among the items Chadwick has is a 1942 calendar from O.W. Nutt, who sold hardware and furniture. “It’s things like that and matchbook covers and recipes,” Chadwick said. “It’s been a good thing. There are lots of stories there that I didn’t know. It’s interesting to see people connect through Facebook but in a different way. They have been able to reconnect.” The Carmel Clay Historical Society is sponsoring a reunion for members of the Facebook page, which now has nearly 7,000 followers, along with anyone with a Carmel

connection who would like to meet with others to reminisce. Chadwick said someone recommended a get-together on the page. CCHS Executive Director Debbie Gangstad came up with idea to use it as a fundraiser. Those stopping by the CCHS Monon Depot from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 3 and making a $5 donation to CCHS will receive a wristband valid for deals from merchants, including Bub’s Burgers, Sun King Brewery, Mudbugs, Agave Bar and Grill, Donatello’s Italian Restaurant and Bazbeaux Pizza. Chadwick, 54, lived in Carmel before his parents moved to Fort Wayne prior to entering middle school. “I would come to Carmel every summer to stay with my grandparents while in school,” Chadwick said. “As soon as I graduated from high school, I moved right back here because I just loved it here. I’ve lived in Carmel on and off for 30 years.” Chadwick and his wife, Jennifer, live in Carmel with their son, Connor, 17, and daughter, Jadyn, 13.

Conner Prairie, Ritz Charles renovate Chinese House By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A partnership between Carmel-based caterer Ritz Charles and Conner Prairie in Fishers began being forged HISTORY roughly two years ago when Conner Prairie President and CEO Norman Burns contacted Ritz Charles Vice President Bill Nicholls. “We started on a journey at which point we talked about what was called the Chinese House and what their goals were, what it was already used for and its background,” Nicholls said. “Even though I’ve been affiliated with Indiana and Conner Prairie from (when I was) a kid, I had never heard of Chinese House. Myself and my daughter volunteered out there and I thought I knew the lay of land out there as well and apparently did not.” The Chinese House was built in 1907 on land owned by William Conner. In the late 1940s, Eli Lilly purchased the home for a family retreat. Lilly had a passion for Chinese art and used the house to display his collection. He later commissioned a painted ceiling featuring Chinese symbols and designs. Some of Lilly’s own paintings are on display in the donor room inside the Chinese House. Items include a four-panel screen in the style of Chinese Shui Mo artwork and a water buffalo, both painted by Lilly. Conner Prairie and Ritz Charles recently partnered to open the Chinese House and the Bluffs, a pavilion addition, as an event venue for weddings, receptions, galas and other gatherings. The Bluffs at Conner Prairie is enclosed by glass on three sides with views of the White River and woodlands. “We of course said yes, this is a neat idea,” Nicholls said. “(Ritz Charles owner) Chuck Lazzara and I went out and did site visit, and that really sealed the deal because we were blown away with the location of the Chinese House and how cool it is when you add the river and the number of heavily wooded acres. In that partnership came an agreement we would partner with Conner Prairie with a quest to revitalize the Chinese House in effort to bring more attention to it and make it a sustainable, viable place.” After forming the partnership, the fundraising and renovation took two years to complete.

Ritz Charles contributed $820,000 to the $3.3 million project. The Chinese House was unveiled to the public in late April when Conner Prairie conducted its annual meeting. “The renovated Chinese House provides guests a great connection to Conner Prairie’s past and a gateway to our future,” TomWoodSubaru.com Burns said. “Visitors get to experience Eli 855.530.5631 Lilly’s former retreat and his love for ChiTomWoodSubaru.com nese 3300 culture E while having 96th St access to nature, viewsIndianapolis, of317.608.0019 the White River a beautifully INand 46240 renovated spaceEfor96th their events.

The business of family Commentary by Shelly Gattlieb For Steven M. Kirsh, business and family have a strong connection. He works alongside his sister, CHARACTERS two brothers, one of his OF CARMEL sons and a daughter-inlaw. His wife, Jacque, also worked with them until retiring. Other family members in the office include Hanna and Yogi, Steve’s springer spaniels. What started with the needs of a friend ended up Kirsh redirecting Steve’s legal specialty, and the law firm of Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., is now the largest adoption practice in the state, working with couples looking to adopt as well as expectant mothers in search of loving homes. Steve is the creator of the pre-birth notice statute that has been implemented in multiple states, and he has been involved in numerous adoption bills that have gone through the Indiana General Assembly. The Kirshes raised their children in west Carmel but relocated nine years ago when they built their home in the Arts & Design District. On most evenings, you can find them waving from their front porch to

friends and neighbors on the Monon Trail. Steve is a pilot of single-engine and twinengine planes and spends time working out at Orange Theory Fitness, performing standup comedy and playing golf at Crooked Stick. • Nickname for Jacque: “Most,” standing for most beautiful, most loving, most wonderful and most in every way • Favorite teachers: Miss James (very pretty) and Mr. Reeves (taught him good handwriting) • Favorite song: “Sounds of Silence” • Dream dinner guest: George W.

To backup or not to backup? Commentary by Feras Mash You buy into technology. You start writing documents, taking and saving thousands of pictures and videos, do TECH budgeting for your home and office, create awesome playlists for the thousands of songs you’ve downloaded and saved during the last decade, and on and on. Have you thought about “insurance” for all your data that is sitting on a piece of technology that very easily can fail or get destroyed at any time? What happens to all that data if that hard drive or computer gets hit by lightning, is stolen, gets ransomed by hackers or gets old and just quits? It seems backup is not on most of our radar screens until it’s too late. I get so many customers with failed computers and crashed hard drives wanting their data back and get sticker-shocked when I tell them the data-recovery pricing starts at $500 and can reach several thousand dollars, with no guarantee the data can be recovered. And

it gets even worse when they don’t have any backups and wonder why they never thought about it. Well, would you think of owning a home and not insuring its content? Or a car or a boat? Stuff can be replaced, but data cannot. It costs, on average, less than 20 cents a day to back up all your data offsite through a reputable cloud-based backup provider, and it runs automatically without your intervention and keeps it all current and saved. So, why not back it all up and have peace of mind? And don’t think saving your stuff on an external thumb drive is a good backup strategy, as those can fail, too. Always backup data to the cloud, where it is safe, secure, encrypted and guaranteed to exist as long as you pay for the service.

CCS aims to be ‘best at getting better’ in upcoming school year By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Michael Beresford became superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools in July EDUCATION 2018, the district was hoping to find some stability after a school year that included cutting ties with the previous superintendent, several security scares and a tough decision to close an elementary school.

“CCS wants to be … the best at getting better.”

— CCS Supt. Michael Beresford

Beresford described his first year as a superintendent as filled with learning curves and relationship-building, but most importantly he said he saw CCS and the community pull together as a team. “We really did embrace that notion that

together we’re better,” Beresford said. “Carmel is a special place, and a big part of that is because the community really works together. That was my goal, to pull everybody together.” As he heads into his second year on the job, Beresford said his theme for the 201920 school year will be “CCS wants to be … the best at getting better.” Everyone wants to be the best, he said, but defining and measuring that standard is subjective, so he’s asking the CCS community members to strive to be better in their own realm. “If each and every member of the team commits to continuous improvement, then we don’t have to worry about winning or losing,” he said. “Success will take care of itself.” He said the theme is one he expects to resonate with everyone from students to top administrators throughout the school year. “It takes the pressure off of you,” Beresford said. “A lot of our anxiety these days is because we’re always comparing ourselves to one another. Everybody’s got something they can work on. None of us are perfect, so let’s just work on getting better in our own individual sets and groups.”

Student earns alternate spot By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Gov. Eric Holcomb presents Carmel High School student Jerry Wang with a $1,000 scholarship. (Submitted photo)

Governor honors CHS student By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School junior Jerry Wang was recently chosen as one of four winners of Gov. Eric Holcomb’s ACHIEVEMENT STEM Team Award. The program honors Indiana high school students with outstanding accomplishments in either science, technology, engineering or math. Each winner is awarded a $1,000 scholarship through Indiana’s CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Plan and a special letter jacket. Wang was chosen for his accomplishments in math. He earned perfect scores on the ACT math, SAT math and SAT II math Level 2 tests. He has participated in several math competitions, including the Mathematical Association of America’s American Mathematical Competition, where he earned a place on the distinguished honor roll. He has been a part of a team conducting research through IUPUI, the results of which

he hopes to publish soon. Though he has been interested in math and science since childhood, Wang learned about the STEM team when his biology teacher mentioned it in class. “After looking at the details of this award, I decided that the STEM team was something that would be interesting to pursue and apply for,” Wang said. “I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email about a month later (stating) that I made the STEM team as the math representative.” For Wang, being this year’s math representative is a chance to be a role model for other students. “Pursue what you really like,” Wang said. “People often joke about not liking mathematics, but basically, mathematics isn’t just solving equations. You can use it in many areas of life. Don’t let other people tell you exactly what you should and should not do. Try to find groups of people who share your interests and help drive you forward to do what you like.”

The competition to make the team began with a multiple-choice exam taken by nearly 16,000 high school students across the U.S. The top 1,000 students advanced For Yannik Singh, the experience was to take the National Chemistry invaluable.

KICKSTARTING PROGRESS Carmel resident uses soccer to help Mali coaches create positive change By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A chance meeting with a visiting entrepreneur from Mali led Bryan Richards on a mission. COVER STORY Richards, a Carmel resident who teaches design thinking and visual communications at Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI, is part of a group that welcomes colleagues from Africa. Last summer, the Carmel resident met Boubacar Sy while in a food line. “He and I found we had shared interests in visual communications and sports,” Richards said. “We talked about what we could do to strengthen his organization. We decided we would develop some programs together. We first unveiled a prototype in October (2018) that we had developed through online correspondence.” Richards said they learned about a competitive grant from the Mandela Fellowship Program that would allow Americans opportunities to do work in African nations. The idea was to work with Mali soccer coaches to create positive change. The Goal Keepers initiative links concepts from soccer, design thinking, strategy, management and community engagement and planning. The $10,000 grant covered the trip and expenses for Richards and Derrin Slack, a Lawrence resident who runs a nonprofit called ProAct Indy, to travel to Bamako, the capital of Mali, June 8 to 15 to supervise the project. The four components of the initiative are community impact, nonprofit strategy and management, cultural exchange and initiative launch and impact measurement. “Our audience was a group of nonprofit leaders and soccer coaches,” Richards said. “They in turn are going to teach their communities how to be more observant of the issues and root causes of everything from crime to litter to hygiene problems. They have a lot of problems in everyday life in the streets. We were teaching them a lot of techniques to be able to mobilize communities to improve their neighborhood.” Richards and Slack led workshops for groups of 25 to 50, including Malian soccer coaches, nonprofit leaders, community members and United States Embassy officials.

Richards said they used soccer analogies in their presentations. Participants learned skills in field observation, ethnography, root cause analysis and storyboarding. The skills are expected to enable coaches to define social problems and then produce practical and inspirational solutions. In addition, the coaches learned business skills so they can finance future initiatives. “We also gave a presentation at the U.S. Embassy for Malians, helping them learn more about American culture, especially in terms of sports,” Richards said. “There are a lot of very positive people who are looking to make good contributions to their communities.” Richards said before the Mali trip there were travel warnings about terrorists. “The (U.S.) State Dept. website when you click on Mali said, ‘Do not travel,’” he said. “There was a bomb found a couple of blocks from where we were going to speak on the day we flew there. You go there and you find there is a lot of concern about it, but there is a lot of good being done.” Slack said he was surprised by the undercurrent of peace in Bamako despite the warnings of violence. “Most of the community was connected on a deeper level and I appreciated the value they put on relationships,” he said. “Given this high sense of value of people,

there was a peaceful atmosphere within the city that made me feel welcomed and safe.” Richards and Slack shared a room in a heavily secured hotel. “I was looking for something more modest, but the U.S. Embassy told us to stay there because they were worried about bomb threats,” Richards said. During their stay, there was a terrorist attack outside of Bamako that killed 35 people. Richards said Mali has a lack of rules and regulations. On the plus side, he said that allows change to happen more quickly. “There is improvisation. You just find solutions,” he said. Richards said the coaches are now mobilizing their teams and neighbors to tackle issues such as the lack of peaceful parks and sports venues, the prevalence of crime and litter and the need to improve academics and safety in schools. The workshops culminated in a ceremony in which the leaders swapped Indianapolis Colts and Indy Eleven jerseys with those from the Malian national soccer team. Richards also played soccer with the coaches on the final day. An online group allows Richards and Slack to keep track of their progress. Both said they were touched by the positivity of the Malians. “Mali is one of the most destitute coun-

tries in the world, and one would think that there would not be much to be hopeful for,” said Slack, whose nonprofit’s mission is to get at-risk youth involved in public service projects In Indianapolis. “However, interacting with the community leaders we had the privilege of training in Mali, and seeing the passion and vision for their communities, taught me that even in the toughest of situations, there is hope. That gives me more inspiration to continue my own work in the communities in which I serve, especially the greater Indianapolis area.”

MEET BRYAN RICHARDS • Personal: Richards and his wife, Anna, have lived in Carmel since 2010. Richards’ firm Aspen Impact designs initiatives for companies and provides guidance for executives. Prior to moving to Indianapolis in 2002, Richards lived in Los Angeles and Boston. His parents lived in Indiana before he was born. • Education: Richards has a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and business from UCLA, a Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Michigan and master’s degree in education management and social policy from Harvard.

College increments

Reserving spots has gotten out of hand Editor, I have lived here since 1996. My boys have marched in the CarmelFest parade as Carmel High School members and as Boy Scouts. I have to say I am embarrassed that some of my neighbors feel entitled to stake out “their spot.” Even more so to say I think we might’ve done it, too. It has gotten way out of hand. On the other hand, let’s turn it into a revenue opportunity and sell tickets. Every parade marcher gets six tickets for free, and everybody else ponies up cash. We can pay down the debt. Josh Hill, Carmel

Commentary by Terry Anker In the iconic 1970’s film “The Paper Chase,” curmudgeonly Professor Kingsfield admits that “You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds.” Indeed, Kingsfield is proclaiming the divine right of the Harvard legal educator – namely, that to successfully complete a degree, one must capitulate to be “trained” as they see fit. Perhaps this is a good thing. Perhaps it is not. Regardless, in today’s dollars the protagonist of the film, our young Mr. Hart, would be shelling out $60,000 a year in tuition, plus another $25,000 to live. Most alums would argue the expense justified. Even if they borrowed heavily to get the degree (as much as $278,400 undergrad and another $255,000 or so graduate), the prestige in some fields is worth it. But what about the other professions? And what if those are the majority? Indiana University recently launched its Financial Wellness Alliance, citing a study of 17,500 undergraduate students, of whom 68 percent claim they are “less than confident” in their ability to ever pay off the debt. Moreover, Indiana’s statewide community college network, Ivy Tech, who’s annual tuition is under $4,000, recently posted that jobs exist 7-to-2 at the two-year associate’s level compared to a four-year bachelor’s degree. Morever, 30 percent of associate’s degree holders out-earn those with bachelor’s degrees. Why is such little attention going to the other variables like overall cost, value and degree need? Why do we so often think about the “right” college but almost never consider about the “right amount” of college? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Psst, it was a joke Commentary by Danielle Wilson Two weeks ago, I wrote a column about my brush with typhoid fever, tongue firmly planted in cheek. The intestinal illness I contracted coincided with a HUMOR typhoid vaccine I’d begun taking for a trip to Southeast Asia, and though it’s possible I experienced side effects, I, in no way, actually contracted the disease. It’s far more likely that after a week on vacay with my extended family, snottynose toddlers included, I picked up a stomach bug that kept me bed-ridden for a few days. But apparently, some readers in the anti-vax community co-opted the story for their own purposes as clear evidence that vaccines are evil unleashed. So, let me be very clear: The vaccine did not give me typhoid, and in my experience (and in most people’s), the vaccines I have obtained or ordered for my children have never once done anything other than protect us from what used to be deadly dis-

eases. Measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, hepatitis, meningitis, HPV-induced cancers, the Wilson clan hasn’t had to worry about any of these because we are all up to date on our vaccines. Do my kids complain about pain in the injection site? Almost always. Do they occasionally feel lousy for a day or two? Yes. Has a pediatrician ever told me, “I’m sorry, Geoffrey has the measles?” or “Oh, no! Corinne’s come down with whooping cough.” Never. Vaccines are safe, effective and necessary. They don’t cause autism and severe reactions are rare. Always consult your physician, of course, but get vaccinated and stay up to date! And please don’t use me or my purposely exaggerated stories as antivax poster fodder. Peace out.

I was sitting on our back porch, enjoying my favorite libation, when I saw this headline: Mosquitoes prefer beer HUMOR drinkers My initial reaction was to brush it off, just like I did the little pests that were at that very moment enjoying my Type O Positive. The article had already gone viral. My guess is that good ol’ boys in places like Pine Bluff, Ark., got the bad news while standing around their favorite watering hole where, unfortunately, there is a lot of standing water. The guys were probably a little red-faced that they had never figured out this beer/mosquito connection. Of course, they also were redfaced before they found out about this beer/ mosquito connection. The article is filled with data that establishes a profile for those people most likely to be bitten. Much of this research was sponsored by the American Mosquito Control Association, whose motto includes: “We are dedicated to education … that results in the total suppression of mosquitoes.” Generally, I’m against any kind of suppression, but even a liberal like me can suck it up and admit this is all-out war. And it won’t be bloodless. The investigations were performed on hundreds of idealistic young volunteers. What was the incentive for their participation? Lots of free booze and an itch to do something for the betterment of mankind. The research says that when a mosquito dines on a person who has enjoyed a few brews, the insect gets a little tipsy herself (male mosquitoes don’t bite). Scientists have an instrument called an inebriometer that can measure how much alcohol the bug has ingested. No doubt, Indiana soon will be training our state troopers (those with tiny hands) to administer this test. You also are more likely to be bitten if you are exercising than when you are at rest because perspiration attracts the little buggers. So, to sum it up: Avoid running during a full moon, dressed in all black, after downing four or five beers. Those are some good tips to prevent attacks by skeeters. I have another suggestion. But I am warning you, it is repellent.

Tourney honors late resident By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Earl D. Hoover Memorial Golf Tournament for Charities always benefits a special cause. FUNDRAISER This year, board member Ken Schafer recommended the National Pancreas Foundation as the charity for the seventh annual tournament. “We had a mutual friend of the board of directors pass away from pancreatic cancer,” he said. Rhonda Parker, a Carmel resident, died Dec. 2, 2018, at age 54. Parker is survived by her husband, John, and two children, Abby and Lucas. “We just want to make this year a tribute to her,” Schafer said. Each year, a board member selects a different charity, and it was Schafer’s turn this year.

The golf tournament is set for a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 3 at Plum Creek Golf Club in Carmel. Schafer said he became close with the other board members because their children played sports together in the Carmel Dads’ Club. Many of their children attended Prairie Trace Elementary and Clay Middle School together. “This year, we are shooting to make more than $20,000 to give to the charity,” Schafer said. The tournament is named for Michael Hoover’s father, who was a Muncie police officer who died of lung cancer at age 60 in 1997 despite being a non-smoker. Registration is at 7 a.m. An awards reception will be at 6:30 p.m. The registration fee for a foursome is $600 and the single player fee is $150. There are various sponsorship opportunities as well. For more, visit the Facebook page for Earl D. Hoover Memorial Golf Tournament for Charities.

Sunscreen tip — Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

An 84,240-square-foot office and warehouse building is planned on nearly 6 acres at 9800 Mayflower Park Drive. (Submitted photos)

Napleton Kia is proposed on 96th Street east of Randall Drive.

Take 5 Quick Lube is proposed at 9799 N. Michigan Rd.

New hotel, car dealer proposed Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Plan Commission met July 16 to discuss several proposed new buildings, including a hotel, car dealership and a warehouse. What happened: An attorney representing Avid Hotels presented plans for a mixeduse building on 1.23 acres at approximately 13300 Illinois St.

(Advertorial)

What’s next: The commercial committee will discuss the plan at its Aug. 6 meeting and send it back to the full commission for a vote.

What it means: The 102 guest rooms of the Avid Hotel are proposed on the top three floors of the building, with the hotel lobby and other amenities on the ground floor, which would also have space for other tenants. Nearby property owners expressed concerns about access to the property, the project’s potential impact on property values and possible increases in crime.

What happened: An attorney representing Napleton Kia presented plans for a new dealership on 3.74 acres on 96th Street east of Randall Drive.

Be the hope now Over the past year, a special fleet of Tom Wood Subaru vehicles were loaned to Riley children’s hospital to help raise awareness! These vehicles were driven by the Governor’s Board members, Riley staff, high-level constituents, the media and so many others shuttling around Central Indiana for key engagement meetings and campaign activities. This helped to create the buzz and the call to action for the Riley Be the Hope Now Campaign! The goal for this campaign is to raise $175,000 by 2020 to transform Riley hospital at IU Health through three high priority programs: Pediatric Research & Patient Care, Maternity & Newborn Health and finally, Health Support Programs. The Need: • One in every eight children diagnosed with cancer will not survive without new discoveries. • Riley’s investigators at the Wells Center

for Pediatric Research needs donors’ funding to speed up discoveries for children with: cancer; heart defects; lung disorders; infectious disease; and diabetes. • In the past 20 years, only three new cancer drugs have been approved specifically for children. Your Impact: • Donations help Riley recruit world class researchers and provide seed and bridge funding to get new ideas off the ground. • Every dollar donated leads to $10 in additional support for Riley research. • Riley is now among the nation’s top 10 pediatric research hospitals because of donors. If you would like to know more about this great cause, please visit: http://www.rileykids.org/bethehopenow/ #BeTheHopeNOW to help them by spreading the word and sharing your Riley story.

What it means: The dealership, which would include a 24,000-square-foot building, would be accessed from Randall Drive. A resident speaking on behalf of the nearby Williamson Run neighborhood said his neighbors generally support the project but would like to see restrictions on test drives through the neighborhood, standards for the dumpster enclosure and well-maintained landscaping as a buffer.

What’s next: The commission’s commercial committee will discuss the plans at its Aug. 6 meeting and send them back to the full commission for a final vote.

What happened: Adam DeHart of Keeler-Webb Associates presented plans for an 84,240-square-foot office and warehouse building on nearly 6 acres at 9800 Mayflower Park Dr. What it means: The site has been vacant since 1998 when a Mayflower distribution center was demolished. The petitioner is requesting to construct a spec building that would likely house two to four tenants. Plans include relocating a road that runs through the property to the south.

What’s next: The commercial committee will discuss the plan Aug. 6 and have final voting authority.

What happened: The commission heard plans for a Take 5 Quick Lube on .66 acres at 9799 N. Michigan Rd. What it means: The 1,500-square-foot building would be home to the first Take 5 Quick Lube in the Indianapolis area. The business allows customers to stay in their vehicle during an oil change, which takes approximately 9 minutes to complete in most cases. One nearby property owner expressed concerns that included the potential impact of having a service station near a residential area.

What’s next: The commercial committee will discuss the plan Aug. 6 and have final voting authority.

Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Program stages ‘A Chorus Line’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com “A Chorus Line” gives Madeline Hatfield the opportunity to put all she has learned to the test. THEATER “It’s the most challenging (performance) I’ve done so far,” Hatfield said. “It’s the fact that you have to be a true triple threat, singing, acting and dancing all at the same time.” Hatfield plays Maggie in Civic Theatre’s Young Artists Production of “A Chorus Line” July 25 to 28 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “The challenge is really rewarding,” said Hatfield, a 2019 Carmel High School graduate who will major in musical theater at Western Michigan University. “She has the really great moment in a song where she is singing with two other girls about how being in the ballet helped them in their childhood with different kinds of problems. “Mine is about how my parents had me to save their marriage and it didn’t end up working and my dad left.” Hatfield and Elie Anania, who will be a CHS senior, participated in the YAP’s “Guys and Dolls” in 2018. “She’s a very strong girl on the line,” Anania said of her character, Val Clark. “She had to do a lot to get where she is and succeed in musical theater. It’s very challenging, especially for the 17 of us that are on the stage for 95 percent of the show because we don’t have time to get water or rest our bodies. The show is very demanding, physically and mentally.” “A Chorus Line” is a concept musical with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban. It opened on Broadway in 1975 and was made into a movie in 1985. The story, by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante, focuses on 17 Broadway dancers auditioning for spots on a chorus line. It is set on a stage during an audition. Anania was familiar with the show and its production. “I was really excited when they announced they were going to be doing ‘A

Shakespeare in the Park features ‘Macbeth’ editorial@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission will present the tragedy “Macbeth” in the 27th season of Shakespeare in the Park. The six performances are set for 8:30 p.m. July 25-27 and Aug. 1-3 at the Federal Hill Commons Amphitheater. The intriguing and bewitching story of power and political ambition is one of the most popular of Shakespeare plays. Nearly 30 actors and technical personnel, from Hamilton County and area counties, present the story of a brave Scottish general who receives a prophecy by a trio of witches that one day he will become king of Scotland. The play is directed by Noblesville residents Mark Tumey and Rob Heighway. Carmel actors in the show are Tim Van Atter, Ross; Adam Christian, Lennox; and Jonathan Scoble, Seyton. Admission is free. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic, blanket and lawn chairs.

Chorus Line’ because I think everyone in the musical theater business can relate to this show in a type of way,” Anania said. Matthew Clark, who will be a Zionsville Community High School senior, portrays Don Kerr. “Don is laid-back. He likes to have a lot of fun in whatever he does, which has been a lot of fun for me to do,” Clark said. There is a good deal of intense dancing, Clark said. “There are some pretty hard vocals and acting is difficult in some of the different scenes,” he said. “It’s definitely testing me. I’ve grown over the summer.” Clark is in his first year with Civic Theater. “I’ve actually only done one other show for my school, ‘Mamma Mia!’ last fall,” he said. Clark switched from band to choir when he got to ZCHS. “I learned that I loved performing,” he said. “I decided on a whim to do my school show and then I wanted to do more and more of it.” Charlie Steiner, who will be a ZCHS

sophomore, played the Beast in “Beauty and the Beast” in a Christian Youth Theater production in June. He has been doing CYT shows since age 10 and is in his first year with YAP. Steiner plays Alan DeLuca, who is at the audition with his wife, Kristine. “She is played by Katherine Patterson. She is wonderful to play alongside and (we) play off each other,” Steiner said. Steiner said he is stronger in singing than acting and dancing at this point. “(In) this show you have to be the best triple threat you can,” he said. “There is hardcore dancing and there are scenes where you have to act the best you’ve ever acted.” Emily Tzucker, a Carmel resident, is the director. She is a professor in the Ball State University theater and dance department. “We have some incredibly talented kids and they are doing professional-level choreography and singing,” Tzucker said. “They’ve worked really hard at developing adult characters.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Young actors take on Holmes By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Harrison Gapinski Coon has no trouble pinpointing what he likes most about the role of Grimesby Roylott. “I get to play the villain,” THEATER Gapinski Coon said. Gapinski Coon, who will be a sixth-grader at Westfield Intermediate in August, portrays Roylott in Encore Rising Star Youth’s production of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” at Westfield Playhouse for six performances July 26-28 and Aug. 2-4. Evan Wolfgang, who will be a Lebanon High School junior, plays Sherlock Holmes. “I’ve always loved Sherlock Holmes as a character and I saw this was happening,” said Wolfgang, who decided to audition. The play is directed by Fishers resident Veronique Duprey. Her daughter, Audrey, is playing Dr. Watson. Emma Fox, who will be a Westfield High School sophomore, is cast as Helen Stoner. “I thought maybe I’d get a minor role. When I got the call that I got the female lead, I was just in shock,” Fox said. “It was amazing. She’s a very confident character.

She’s bold.” McKenzie Odle, who will be a Noblesville High School senior, plays Mrs. Waverly, the housekeeper. Besides school productions, Odle typically performs with Mud Creek Players. “I wanted to do this because it’s out of my comfort zone,” Odle said. “I originally wanted to do Emma because she is strong. As I got to know the show better, I was glad I was placed as Mrs. Waverly. It’s a strong female role where she is able to stand up for herself.” For tickets, call 317-402-3341 or visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

These are the four elements that invariably become topics of discussion during the design phase of every successful outdoor living project. SHADE Shade can be achieved by various methods and to varying degrees. The most successful projects often employ a combination of approaches that work together to create a space where the quantity, character and quality of light varies throughout the day and seasons. PRIVACY Not only do good fences make good neighbors, but (much like shade structures) utilizing multiple styles, methods and configurations of “fences” often make for the most enjoyable spaces.

Xochimilco’s unique water-borne entertainment Unlike most historical sites, Xochimilco’s canals attract young people out for a good time. Visitors board one of about 200 vibrantly painted boats called “trajineras,” based on designs once used by the Aztecs and accommodating about 20 revelers. Pole men and women propel and steer the flat-bottom wooden boats along the canals, gondola style. Smaller boats pull alongside, hawking food, drink and an assortment of gewgaws. For a fee, boat-borne musicians will entertain with mariachi music, but after a while, the singing of alcohol-loosened passengers can drown out the sounds of the bands. Man-made islands in the canals, called “chinampas” (floating gardens), grow flowers that are sold in markets along the banks. On weekends, Xochimilco’s canals are so crowded and the steering of the trajineras so imprecise that the boats are built to survive frequent bumping. For visitors to Mexico City, Xochimilco’s canals are a must-do. Trajineras along a Xochimilco Canal. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Commentary by Don Knebel Xochimilco’s canals are among Mexico City’s most popular attractions, providing colorful entertainment in an important historical context. TRAVEL When Spanish Conquistadors arrived in what is now central Mexico, Tenochtitlan, with a population of about 200,000, was the capital of the Aztec Empire. The Spanish destroyed Tenochtitlan in 1521 and built Mexico City over the ruins, making it their capital.

Tenochtitlan/Mexico City was situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, connected to other lakes and cities in the Mexico Valley, including Xochimilco, by an elaborate network of causeways and canals. As Mexico City grew, residents drained and filled the lakes and canals. Only a few of the canals remain. The most important are in Xochimilco, now a borough of Mexico City about 17 miles south of the city’s historical center. Because of their historical significance and need for preservation, Xochimilco’s 114 miles of canals became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

DISPATCH Storing wine the right way — Here are four ways to properly store your wine: 1. Temperature – Between 50 and 58 degrees is the perfect temperature for a wine nook. 2. Sideways – Store bottles on their sides. This keeps the liquid contents in contact with the cork and prevents the cork from drying out and letting in too much air, which can lead to oxidation. 3. Humidity – If the air in your wine cellar lacks sufficient moisture it, too can cause corks to dry out and wines to oxidize. 4. Stillness – Protect your wine from vibrations.
