The creation of a new stormwater utility would help to fund improvements to Carmel’s stormwater infrastructure. (Staff illustration)

Hesitant council passes storm water bill By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After more than a year in committee, the Carmel City Council finally passed the Storm Water ordinance, which establishes a fee government for all households to help pay for drainage improvements. But the council was split on the idea of who should run this new utility. The prevailing vote was for the city council itself to act as the managing board – a strategy some wanted because they thought Mayor Jim Brainard would misspend the new funds. Now, bills for $4.95 will be sent out Nov. 1 throughout Carmel. Everyone on the council agreed that all of the money raised – between $2.9 million and $3.2 million in revenue per year – would be spent only on fixing drainage issues in Carmel’s oldest neighborhoods. But some trusted the Mayor’s Office to manage the money and others – including Brainard’s consistent critics on the council – expressed concern. “I think it’s got to be your way or the highway,” councilwoman Luci Snyder of Brainard, “and every time I turn around you’re trying to take money out of the ‘rainy day’ fund or the Legacy Fund. I’m not going to let you run this and pull money out of it. I’m just not going to let it happen.” Snyder’s speech was long and detailed and Brainard responded that he thought she was misrepresenting the facts. In the end, everyone admitted that they didn’t

want to run the board, which led to hesitation among some and some question about how the vote would turn out. A day after the vote, Brainard said he was just happy the ordinance was finally passed and was eager to move on. He still disagrees with the council’s decision, but didn’t want to press the issue. “The projects that need to be done will get done and the city engineer will be in charge of them and so I’m looking forward to getting started on them,” he said. “Obviously, I think it’s better to not run things by a committee, but if that’s what the Council wants to do then I’m looking forward to getting started.” Councilor Rick Sharp said he was concerned that the Mayor’s Office would spend up to $1.8 million in overhead to run this utility, which is a number with which Brainard vehemently disagreed. “If you look at the mayor’s plans and where the money was being spent, you’ll see why the council had to take on the authority of being the Storm Water Utility Board,” he said. A document obtained by the Current in Carmel does quote $1.8 million in administrative costs, but the city said that’s an old document that doesn’t tell the whole story. “All the money was to go into dealing with the issues, either capital projects or maintenance of the existing system,” Brainard said. “To suggest we asked for administrative overhead is simply not correct.”

Waste storage tanks cause uproar in southeast Carmel By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com A proposal to place above-ground storage tanks for run-off waste water on the grounds of a local church is causing development quite a stir in Carmel. Angry neighbors packed last week’s Carmel City Council meeting to express their concerns and Mayor Jim Brainard said he agrees with their sentiments. For years, the Clay Township Regional Waste District has been trying to figure out what to do with overflow problems. On July 2, the King of Glory Lutheran Church on 106th Street received an offer to sell 1.6 acres of its land for the construction of a wet-weather equalization storage facility. The storage tanks would store around a million gallons of waste water, which some people claim is toxic and can emit an odor that would be bothersome to close-by residents. The church was offered $106,800. The CTRWD also agreed to make improvements to the property, such as turning a field into a multi-use athletic field and repairing the church’s driveway after construction is complete. Currently, they have until the first week of August to decide. Pastor David Hewitt said no decision has been made and there have been discussion within the congregation, but did say that the CTRWD said they could take the land via eminent domain if the church refused to sell. City leaders don’t get a vote on this issue,

A map of the area shows where a potential waste tank would go. (Illustration)

but do have some ways to exert influence. The CTRWD might need an easement from the city to be able to access pipes to transfer the waste water into the tanks. There are also other permits required. Brainard said he believes a better solution is to place waste water tanks on the property of the city’s existing sewer plant. “This is not good solution to the problem,” he said. “But when it rains a lot there’s raw sewage coming out of the ground so there is a problem

and we’ve been after them about fixing this problem for some time. This is their proposed solution. It’s not the right solution.” Residents – most notably from the Millbrook neighborhoods – have written letters to the church and sent e-mails to City Councilor Luci Snyder, who represents the Church’s district. They are concerned about the visible sight of the tanks, possible cracks which could cause harmful leaks and odor. “My feeling is everyone needs to take a step

back and re-evaluate this situation before a lot of homeowners lose a piece of their financial future,” said Kevin Schaefer, a Millbrook resident. Andrew Williams, the utility director for the CTRWD, told the Current that many of the concerns about this project are unfounded. He said the tanks would be reinforced with concrete and covered so leaks should not be likely. He said the tanks should only be used only two to five times a year when rainfalls are particular heavy. Williams also disagreed with Brainard’s proposal, saying that building a force main along 96th Street and moving the tanks to the sewage plant would make the project cost twice as much and it’s not necessary. Williams said ventilation with air purifiers should make smell a non-issue. “As far as odor, we don’t believe there will be an odor,” he said. “There has been a large lift station just south of Carmel Creek for twenty five years and we don’t receive complaints.” John Duffy, director of City of Carmel Utilities, said these tanks need to be designed properly for that to be true. “Odor control filters can work, but they need to be maintained to work effectively and over time are not without potential problems,” he said. The next meeting is Aug. 11 and Williams expects a crowd. For a full-length version of this story, visit www.currentincarmel.com.

Camp Riley: Special needs answered By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Camp is always a great way to meet new friends, try new adventures and come home with a lifetime of memories. And, for Charity kids who attend Camp Riley – it’s no different. Founded 59 years ago, Camp Riley is a chance for children ages 8 to 18 with physical disabilities to discover new opportunities and become “empowered to do new things.” “It’s just wonderful for these kids who meet kids going through similar obstacles that they are,” said Jason Mueller, Director of regional communications for the Riley Foundation, which supports the camp. “They can talk amongst themselves, share stories, laugh, have fun and not feel they are being watched by others. They can feel natural and be a normal kid – these kids bond.” This summer, 17 Carmel youth have had the chance to attend Camp Riley. Annually 220 campers from 60 Indiana counties and 10 states enjoy time at the camp during five sessions over the course of six summer weeks. “Many look forward to the 40-foot climbing tower or cardiac hill – a very steep hill for absolutely anyone who tries to tackle it – it has the name cardiac hill for a reason,” Mueller said. “They also can swim, try archery, arts and crafts and baking – just a wide variety of activities for all children and interest levels.” The majority of the campers are patients at Riley Hospital for Children. Medical staff – includ-

ing nursing directors and pharmacists – are available to make sure the kids receive the attention they need on a day to day basis. “It’s like an extension of Riley Hospital in the sense that medical care provided is provided 24-hours-a-day which gives peace of mind for parents who are letting their kids go away from home for one or two week sessions,” Mueller said. “It’s a big step for many.” No child is turned away because of a family’s financial situation, Mueller said. A sliding scale is available with additional donor support from the foundation and donors. It’s a way to ensure any kid who can attend is able to. “I was with a couple of them this past weekend – they’d done camp together few years and now they do wheelchair basketball ball,” Mueller said. “It’s where friendships begin and where they continue – campers look forward to going back each summer.”

By Terri Spilman• news@currentincarmel.com Recent Carmel High School graduate Ben Gormley just completed the monumental task of earning the Boy Scouts of achievement America Dr. Bernard Harris Supernova Award, becoming the first Boy Scout in his council to earn this achievement. To earn the Supernova Award, Gormley had to meet several merit badge requirements and complete specific STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities including being mentored by a professional in one of the STEM fields. Gormley is in essence somewhat of a Supernova himself having achieved early Eagle Scout status in the seventh grade, with most getting to this level of scouting in high school as well as completing every merit badge possible – for the exception of the Digital Technology badge that came out one week after his 18th birthday. He refers to that badge as “the one that got away.” He was also one of three International Baccalaureate diploma students in his high school class. Gormley was honored in a ceremony on July 18 at Ransburg Scout Reservation in Bloomington, Ind., where he is a member of the Boy Scout camp staff this summer. He will attend Purdue University in the fall to study Economics.

His mother, Sara, served as a committee chair in his troop and does training at the district level. What she is most proud of is that her son has still continued his Eagle Scout project which is providing backpacks with much needed supplies to homeless people through the Homeless Initiative Program. While the basket-weaving badge ranked as his least favorite over the years, being a mentor as a member of the Boy Scout summer camp staff is his favorite part of being a scout. “My favorite thing has definitely been summer camp staff for sure. It’s a big time commitment but it’s really fun and you are with great people and can make an impact on some of the younger scouts,” he said.

We have the perfect size grill for your backyard game party or to take to the tailgate.

When it comes to the growth of the Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity chapter, it isn’t just the number of homes built or charity rehabbed – 66 since the local arm was founded in 1990 and another 89 globally – but lives touched. “This is an opportunity that we have to serve our families in our county that need us. It’s a blessing to be part of this organization and see it grow and flourish as it has,” Rhett Cecil, chapter CEO said. “We cannot do this without people, without land, without the community’s financial support and their willingness to jump in.” Cecil joined the group in 2010 – a time he said, when the chapter was “in a bit of dire straits to be honest.” “We had no land, one partner family and enough money for about 41 days,” he said. “We had not built a home in a while – maybe two or three years.” That was then. Fast forward to 2014 and the group is not only working on its 12th home in four years, but also has rejuvenated the Women Build concept and opened ReStore – a 2,500-square-foot facility where anything used in a home, from appliances to cabinets which can be donated and, in turn, bought by the general public at a greatly reduced cost. “Think Goodwill meets Lowe’s meets Godby’s,” Cecil said. “A lot of the times you may not want

stuff like old cabinets sitting in your garage. We will come and pick it up and it’s tax deductible. There are a lot of people in our county and surrounding counties that can’t afford to go to Lowes for new kitchen cabinets but they can come to ReStore. We reuse and repurpose and sell it to generate revenue to build more houses.” This year enough money was raised through ReStore to build a home – and it kept 100,000 pounds of reusable material out of the landfill, Cecil said. The Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity chapter has also instituted the Brush with Kindness program. “There are people in our community who need help with, let’s say, siding coming off their house and they can’t afford the work but we will do it if they qualify financially,” Cecil said. “We can’t just be about building habitat houses. I truly believe Habitat needs to build stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods otherwise we are not addressing all the needs and not fulfilling our mission and our ministry.” “Hamilton County is a very wealthy area with resources but there are people here with a lot of need as well,” Cecil said. “There is a dramatic need and call for organizations like Habitat that are willing to go out and help fellow Hamilton County citizens and engage our community.” For more information on the Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity chapter, visit http://www. habitathamiltoncounty.org/.

We like the idea of being a neighborhood gathering place much like we are in Carmel and increasingly on Mass Ave.,” Brown said, “It’s fun to see people walk in to Pizzology and randomly see someone that they know from the neighborhood, or from their kid’s schools. It makes us feel like we are part of the fabric of these communities, which is exactly what we want to achieve with each location.” The Village of West Clay location is the third Pizzology spot in Indiana. Brown said construction is set to begin immediately, with a projected opening in late September. Brown will hire more than 30 new employees, as part of the kitchen and serving staffs.

City Council recap

Compiled by Adam Aasen

What Happened: The Carmel City Council passed its new noise ordinance. What it means: For months, this ordinance has sat in committee, but the council finally hammered out the details. There was a last-minute push to shorten the number of days that fireworks could be set off in July, but that runs counter to state law, so that couldn’t make it in the bill. The law includes a chart of the level of decibels allowed by distance. There are exceptions for religious institutions and construction projects from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

What’s next: The law was adopted.

What Happened: The council approved $324,600 for street paving. What it means: After a protracted fight over potholes – which was detailed in the Current – the Council approved transferring $324,600 from the city’s “rainy day” reserves to the street paving account. This is in addition to $700,000 that was moved into the account in May. Since that action, the street department has released a list of prioritized roads, which is why the council decided to add more money.

What’s next: Work begins. A complete list of roads was published on May 30 in Current.

What Happened: The council approved $220,000 for drainage problems on Emerson Road. What it means: As a follow-up to the last council meeting, the City Council agreed to transfer money from the “rainy day” fund to fix drainage problems on Emerson Road. Severe flooding in the area had previously caused some residents to not be able to even leave their homes.

What’s next: This money will go toward engineering so the scope of the project can be analyzed. Any leftover money from that analysis will go toward beginning the project and most likely the City Council will have to approve more funding once an estimate is finalized.

What Happened: An inter-local agreement was approved for renovations to fire stations 43 and 44.

Saturday July 26th Monika Herzig

What it means: The city of Carmel and Clay Township cooperate on fire issues, but this project will be funded through the township. Township Trustee Doug Callahan – a former fire chief – said he promises no taxes will be raised. Councilors said these renovations are surely needed. City attorneys say the deal only puts the city at risk if the township were to dissolve or merge with the city. What Happened: The council approved the establishment of a revenue deposit fund. What it means: Now, all tax increment finance (TIF) money will first be deposited into this account before it is spent in various ways, such as paying off bonds. This way, the council can track the balances. In addition, the law includes a chart that shows what happens if there’s not enough TIF money.

Obesity in the United States is running rampant. Depending on who’s conducting the research, Indiana ranks anywhere from the eighth to the 12th most-obese state nationally. health But there is a national program that supports individuals trying to lose weight that is a fraction of the cost of those other programs called TOPS Club. TOPS, which stands for “take off pounds sensibly,” is a nonprofit weight-loss organization that includes 170,000 members worldwide. Founded in Milwaukee in 1947, it has a chapter in Carmel that has existed since the late ’70s. The group meets every Wednesday at the Carmel Friends Church located on West Main Street, but the program is not affiliated with the church in any way. They simply have access to a room in the church to conduct their weekly meetings. TOPS’s annual membership is $28 and fees for the Carmel chapter are $4 per month.

In Indiana, in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. The underlying philosophy is that a child should be provided the same lifestyle which would have been afforded to him/her had the family remained intact or had the parties married. The Guidelines are presumed to apply in each case unless a reason can be shown as to why a deviation from the calculated obligation is warranted. In determining the support obligation, child support calculators are used to create a Child Support Worksheet, which must be filed with the Court in each proceeding. In addition to the parties’ gross incomes, other factors included in determining the support obligation are: actual work-related childcare expenses, healthcare insurance premiums for the children, parenting time overnights exercised, support or maintenance received or paid, and subsequent children in either parties’ home. When a Court deems appropriate, numerous benefits received by one party, including parties’ bonus incomes, commissions, or even regular gifts from family or friends, may be included as income for support purposes.

There are a number of reasons to deviate from the presumed obligation by the Guidelines. These include, but are not limited to, voluntary unemployment or under-employment by one of the parties. If a Court finds either of these to be a factor, it may impute potential income to that party for purposes of determining support. There are cases wherein clients propose to their attorney an agreement with the opposing party to forgo the receipt of support. This is not appropriate in most cases. Such an arrangement may be appropriate if the parties equally share physical custody of the child(ren) and agree to share expenses due to the fact that their incomes are relatively similar, however, parties must understand that it is not their right to waive support for the child(ren), rather it is the child’s right to receive the same. Issues with respect to child support are very fact sensitive and different issues will arise in each case. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Guidelines is necessary to determine the appropriate obligation in any given case when issues arise. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

After several people were sent to the hospital for salmonella, Agave Bar and Grill is making a comeback. By Sophie Pappas • sophie@yoaurecurrent.com

Agave owner Alejandro Hernandez says all food violations have been resolved. (Photo by Zach Ross)

At Agave Bar and Grill on East Main Street in Carmel, diners have been getting more than what they paid for. Beyond servings of enchiladas and chile rellenos, at least seven people have reported walking away with salmonella. According to Hamilton County Health Dept. inspector Larry Beard, the restaurant was cited for having 19 critical violations of health code and 21 non-critical violations during a July 1 inspection. On July 9, inspectors returned for a follow-up visit to Agave and found that the restaurant still had nine critical violations and nine non-critical violations. Beard said that critical violations are what could lead to food contamination, and illnesses such as salmonella. Beard would not confirm how many people were sent to the hospital as a result of salmonella from Agave. A female diner, who wishes to remain anonymous, contacted Current in Carmel and said that she knows of at least seven people who were diagnosed with salmonella after eating at Agave this month. The owner of Agave, Alejandro Hernandez, said he is not sure how many people there were exactly. In health department records dating from Agave’s opening in July 2013, the restaurant had zero critical and zero non-critical violations when it opened its doors. Between Aug. 2013 and February of this year, Agave was cited for six critical and six non-critical violations. Several of the critical violations from this month include: lacking a certified food handler or manager, having raw chicken and beef left out at room temperature, employees not wearing hair restraints, having freezers soiled with debris, and storing raw eggs near cooked meats. Inspector Amy Ballman noted that on July 14, the raw eggs were moved to another shelf and this error was corrected. She also noted that she “observed an employee wiping gloved hands with wiping cloth stored on the counter,” another critical violation that could lead to foodborne illnesses. Furthermore, the report states that hot water is not being provided for employees to wash their hands with. Hernandez told Ballman that he has “spoken with the owner of the building about the lack of hot water,” and that the hot water heater is too small to keep up with the need. He said he is in contact

with the fire marshal to get permission to place an additional hot water heater on the second floor.

‘Everything is good now’

Hernandez said that as of July 22, all of the health code violations had been fixed. “Everything is good now,” he said. “We have no idea how many people got the salmonella but now the health department thinks it might have been coming from the companies we buy our foods from.” Hernandez said that Ballman told him that the salmonella that was reported coming from Agave, is the same strain of salmonella that was recently found in Alabama, however he did not provide Current in Carmel with the list of his food distributors. “We get our foods from eight or nine companies so we don’t know which companies gave the salmonella,” Hernandez said. “[Ballman] told us she was going to start an investigation about those companies. And this is really getting big now because I gave her all our invoices and showed her what foods we bought.” He continued: “And the truth is that the problem is fixed. Even I am thinking of making a video for people to see how we make the foods to show that we are really clean now. We are still busy every day, and the health department is not going to close us. But people need to know the truths. We had a small problem but it’s probably from these companies, but now we are OK. We are OK”

Most restaurants OK

Restaurant inspections in Carmel are completed one to four times per year at individual restaurants, and the health department uses a risk-based assessment technique. That means that restaurants are scored on a basis of critical and non-critical violations. Out of more than 150 restaurants that have been checked so far this year, 39 restaurants have had no violations at their last date of inspection and 39 restaurants also had no critical violations. As for the critical violations, those mainly consisted of a slight food product temperature error or lack of beard restraints, as was the case with Agave. “Inspections are a snapshot of the operation of the facility at the time of the inspection,” said Jason LeMaster, director of Environmental Health for the health department. “And when not undergoing a health inspection, it is the responsibility of the facility owner, management and staff to maintain compliance with the food safety requirements.”

Girls from Carmel High School stand proudly in front of their lockers. (Submitted photo)

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com After long days playing at the park, swimming in the pool until sunset, or simply getting caught up on sleep from the previous school year, it is now time to return back to school. Teachers will return to Carmel/Clay Schools two days sooner than student to prepare for the excitement of what the new school year will bring. Although each year brings changes as students grow and advance, the 2014-15 officials say there are a few changes from last year’s core curriculum. Students return on Aug. 13 with a weekend Fall Break Oct. 17 to Oct. 20, a two-week winter break Dec. 22 to Jan. 2, and one week for spring break from April 3 to April 10. The regular holidays such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, and Memorial Day will also be

considered “No School” days. If an easier winter this year is expected, the make-up days will be added to the end of the school year as usual. Although there are similarities to last year, one thing that is constantly evolving and changing is technology at Carmel/Clay Schools. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is expanding throughout the district. Implementation will continue in bigger ways this year, which requires constant updating and training. According to Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment, Amy Dudley, she said, “This summer we hosted an E-Learning technology conference. We hosted one in Carmel with 400 participants where they came to learn how to integrate this technology.” There will also be new curriculum changes this year for all grades. These changes include reading, writing, speaking and

listening curriculum. In combination with these new materials, the district has adopted the new Indiana Academic Standards. Dudley said, “These new materials will help support the Indiana Academic Standards implementation. Our Indiana Standards have some common core pieces as well as new pieces.” For grades kindergarten through fifth grade curriculum, there will be a program called Reach for Reading, which is published in National Geographic magazine. Grades sixth through 12th will have a variety of different fiction and nonfiction texts and novels as a part of the new curriculum, as well as some short stories that will help support this implementation. Students and parents can look forward to the new technology and curriculum changes at Carmel/Clay schools. Only a few weeks left for back to school shopping and preparing those backpacks before the new school year begins.

CHS has top chess players By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com In Terre Haute on July 22, Carmel High School’s Chess Team won their third consecutive state championship. The team was comprised of Sameer Manchanda, Kevin Mi, Joe Philleo, Sam Philleo and sponsored by Carmel High School’s Business Teacher, Margaret Winans. During the state competition, the chess team picked four members with one person representing each board in an order based on skill and experience. There were five rounds in the competition, and the team with the most wins or points in the end became the champion. Although the chess club has a history of success in competitions, each member made it clear that their main goal was learning, teaching, and having fun! “I am very proud of all these students because it’s not all about championship teams. They welcome any person into the club anytime to learn and to play,” Winans said, “I am pleased that they are concerned with others learning chess as they are with winning.” Andrew Kluttz, co-president of chess club, said, “We welcome all high schoolers regardless of playing level and are more than willing to teach. Chess club is a lot of fun and you can make strong, long lasting friendships there.” Winans enjoys being a part of this club but expressed that this is a student-run organization that she simply oversees. The students

fundraise, recruit, and run the Monday meetings. Sam Philleo said, “Next year we hope to recruit some new people. We had a lot of seniors so our numbers have decreased. It’s a nice, fun after school activity.” Klutz recalls the history of the club and said, “It was very small and laid back until about 6 years ago. There were few members, and they were more hobbyists than anything else. Then, some more competitive players came and thought we had a good shot at competition. Sure enough, from that point forward the club grew and the team grew stronger.”

King of Glory: PLEASE HELP US! We, your neighbors, ask that you not approve the sale of your land to the Clay Township Regional Waste District for its proposed Wet Weather Storage Tank Project. This proposed project puts sewage tanks adjacent to your church, a nature preserve and our homes. It will have significant adverse impacts on us, on you, on the environment and on Carmel as a whole. CTRWD has not provided the information required to make an informed decision. There are no finalized designs, no project plans, no formal environmental impact studies, no emergency plans and no standard operation procedures. We would like to see research on the dependability and the efficiency of the equipment it will use BUT even it doesn’t seem to know which equipment will be installed. The way that CTRWD has approached this project is a major concern. It is dealing with a problem that been going on for more than seven years, but it is forcing you to make a decision in less than six weeks while providing inadequate information. If this is such a good plan why did CTRWD start the conversation with eminent domain threats and did not advertise public forums? Threats, inadequate information, short time frames, a refusal to answer questions, secrecy – these all smack of a corporate bullying approach. If this is how your relationship is starting, you should consider how it’s going to work out in the long term because you and CTRWD are going to be together forever. No one doubts that this project will degrade the esthetics of the Keystone Parkway, lay the groundwork for significant damage to the environment, depress the values of your neighbors’ homes and significantly change the nature of the neighborhood around your church. If CTRWD is allowed to turn part of our neighborhood into an industrial area with unsightly sewage tanks and their accompanying odor, we all lose. Please don’t participate in this travesty by willingly selling CTRWD your land.

No more back-to-school shopping By Pete Smith • news@currentincarmel.com If you’re a retailer looking to make some summer sales, you might want to skip the back-toschool sale and start cozying up to the Carmel Clay Schools administrators. That’s because the school district plans to charge parents a $40 fee to provide elementary school students with all the supplies they need. “This is a great opportunity to provide savings for our families,” said schools spokeswoman Tricia Reynolds. The district said in a statement that by purchasing supplies in bulk, it can obtain about a 20 percent price reduction off the standard retail prices. The schools notified parents of the plan this week via email. It isn’t supposed to go into effect until the 2014-15 school year, but Reynolds said the concept had been tested out in kindergarten classrooms. And she noted that teachers

will still have the autonomy to select supplies that are appropriate and necessary for each classroom. The $40 fee will be added on to each student’s textbook rental and supplies billing. Supplies to be managed by the district include: • supplies like notebooks, pencils, scissors, markers and crayons • notebooks and planners sold at the school bookstore • recorder musical instruments • earphones The schools said in the email that by managing the school supplies, it would be able to save families time and money, while also reducing waste by reusing supplies, such as scissors and rulers, for more than one year. The program could soon be expanded to the district’s three middle schools, but that won’t happen before the next school year, the district said in a statement.

CHS offers discounted portraits

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Senior year is the time to bond with childhood friends and prepare for careers and education after life at Carmel High School. For many students, this means sharing senior portraits with family and friends. This year, Carmel High School is partnering with Prestige Portraits to help make senior photos affordable and convenient for the class of 2015. “I’m sure you’re proud and excited about approaching your senior year,” stated Carmel High School assistant principal Brad Sever in a letter to all incoming seniors. “I’m excited as well and wanted to inform you that Prestige Portraits has been chosen to partner with our school.” Photos taken by Prestige Portraits will also be used in the senior section of the 2014-2015 school yearbook. “Because the senior section pictures in the

yearbook must have consistency in head size, background and posing, only portraits taken by Prestige Portraits will be included in the senior section of the yearbook,” Sever stated. A $15 sitting fee will be charged to participating seniors, however this fee will be waved if seniors choose to order additional photos. Sever said that students must adhere to school dress code for all yearbook photos, and this includes covering shoulders and chests. “Strapless, low necklines and spaghetti straps will not be allowed to the senior section,” he said. The last day to take senior portraits with Prestige Portraits is Oct. 14. Students are encouraged to sign up for their photo session well in advance to ensure being included in the yearbook, and having photos delivered in time to give as gifts for the holiday season. Students or parents can call 829-2088 to make an appointment.

Rockin’ for the video

Students from Carmel School of Rock spent one week this month dedicated to performing, perfecting, recording and filming a music video for Alien Ant Farm’s version of “Smooth Criminal.” Seven students, all from Hamilton County, spent two days at School of Rock rehearsing the song, one day spent at a local sound studio, Azmyth Studio, with a sound engineer, and two days filming on-site in Carmel for the visual content. The music video will be premiered live at Kingston’s Rehearsal Space in Carmel at 7 p.m., Aug. 1. The video will be broadcast on School of Rock’s social media sites, and will also be put up on Youtube. This is the second music video camp for School of Rock, the first one taking place last year. The song covered that year was Journey’s “Separate Ways.”

Local author writes for kids

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Emily Ungar, of Carmel, has been writing her whole life. Starting from the age of 6, Ungar carried around little pink notebooks and made up stories about sleepovers and rabbits. “Back in those days, a botched sleepover made for a very dramatic plot. My dad helped me make little fabric books out of my stories, and Ungar I still have them. They’re my inspiration for when I have those tough writing days,” she said. And even though these days Ungar is more likely to be seen carrying around her twin 2-yearold boys, writing is still a passion. Next month, her novel Liberty Belle will be released. “I wrote Liberty Belle for a middle grade audience, for ages 8 to 12. Although I hope anyone would enjoy the book, I believe it may be of special interest this summer as elementary and middle schoolers return to school this August. Many of them will be starting new schools and trying to determine where they fit in. I know firsthand how it feels to be the new kid at a new school – especially middle school. I lived in seven different U.S. states before I finished college, and it’s hard, especially if you come from a culture very different from your own,” Ungar said. “When society talks about different cultures, we often think about countries different from the United States. But culture can vary quite differently even from state to state. When my family moved from Pennsylvania to Louisiana when I was in sixth grade, it was quite the culture shock. I went from Amish country to alligators. I urge new students to try hard in their new school, even if they don’t want to do anything but text with their old friends back home. Talk to kids in your class, talk to neighbors. And definitely join some sort of school activity or try out for a sports team. I was annoyed when my guidance counselor back in school advised me to do this, but only now as an adult do I see the benefit of this. This is the best way to do what you love and to meet friends who also love doing what you do! And those are the most fun friends to have.”

TRUSTED AS ONE OF THE AREA'S VISION LEADERS SINCE 1980 FOCUSED ON UNCOMPROMISING EYECARE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY Liberty Belle, written by local author Emily Ungar, will be a good back-to-school read for kids ages 8 to 12. (Submitted photo)

Liberty Belle is about a 12-year-old girl named Savannah whose family moves from Georgia to Washington, D.C., She misses her two best friends and soon discovers that her schoolmates love to brag – about their clothes, their parents’ governmental connections, and even who has the in with the school authorities. Unhappy and lonely, Savannah decides if she can’t make life better, she can at least make it sound that way. Soon, she starts making up very untrue stories – that she is living in the childhood home of George Washington, riding in the limo of the Vice President’s daughter, and even moving into the former Luxembourg embassy. She then finds out that her true friends from Georgia are coming for a visit. So Savannah must create the life she’s been talking about in her letters before her friends visit. If she can’t convince them, she may lose both her old friends and her new ones, too. Ungar’s book will be released in eBook format on Aug. 12. For more information, visit www.emilyungar.com.

Current in Carmel asked Emily Ungar: what inspires you to write? Ungar: There is a saying among many writers that they can’t not write. I think that the feeling of connection between me and my work, and later between my work and my readers, is the driving force behind wanting to write. It’s fun to sit at the keyboard and slowly watch a blank page go from nothing to a vessel that carries new characters and settings. I

also get rather crabby if I go too long without writing, just as an athlete itches to get on the court or a gardener longs to tend to her ferns. More than anything, though, is the hope that my writing may connect with a young reader. I would love to think that a reader might see my book as a fun escape or help them think about the word differently in some small way.

New business owner wants to help kids eat better By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

Dawn Parker knows a thing or two about food, and as a certified health coach, her passion is sharing that knowledge with everyone she meets. “Having worked in the health care field for over 15 years, the more I learned about how our health care system works, and its shortcomings, the more I felt drawn towards nutrition as the solution,” Parker said. “I learned about issues with our food supply that shocked me and how to improve the way my family eats. I learned how to use food as medicine and went from

someone who caught every cold, flu or virus that went around to someone who hasn’t caught even a cold in almost three years. And I owe this turnaround to knowing and utilizing the power of nutrition.” Parker was trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she learned hundreds of theories in healthy eating. Now, she is on the cusp of opening her first Zionsville business to help guide Parker people in their search for the most balanced lifestyle. “Having worked one-on-one with clients for over a year now, I am opening this new office to expand my practice. I will continue to focus on working with clients one-on-one, as well as increase my ability to work with couples and groups,” she said. Parker, herself a mother of picky eaters, said she has honed her own cooking skills, and knows exactly how to help families integrate good foods into their children’s diets. “[My cooking skills] were pretty average to start, and now I know how to make truly healthy food taste delicious, even by my kids’ picky standards,” she said. “Knowing how much this knowledge has meant for me and my family, I want to share that knowledge with everyone I can. I am especially passionate about working with women and moms because I feel that teaching our

No permanent damage: Round Two Commentary by Julie Osborne The launch is upon me – again! With Nate a rising junior at Boston College, younger sister Carolyn will soon be flying the nest but much closer to home, my alma mater Indiana University. I would be lying if I said I wished she was joining her brother on the East Coast. The thought of packing up a car instead of large cardboard boxes less than 50 pounds, driving south instead of around Boston “rotaries” (i.e. roundabouts on steroids), and seeing him only at holidays is not an experience I wish to reproduce. Good ol’ Indiana works for me and it does for Carolyn, too. No brainwashing required. As an experienced launcher, I have learned a few things along the way. Here are a few of my favorites to share with your college-bound kids: • Visit the bookstore to check out the books before registration. The same class with a different professor can have totally different books. If you don’t like the books, can you imagine the class? • Wash everything in cold water. Dry on low heat – enough said! • Go to extra classes the first two weeks of school in case you need to make a change. Professors will likely let you in if

you show interest. • Be a contributor to the school. This is slightly different than the “Get Involved” theme every school preaches. Why not take it a step further and look for ways to match your passions with the needs of the school? “Make this college a better place.” Later, you can tackle the world. • Red Solo cups work for water, too. • Assertiveness at airports is essential, especially three days before Christmas. If volunteers are needed, don’t give up your seat unless a boarding pass for the next flight is provided AT THAT MOMENT. Otherwise, the first Christmas back together may not be together. And, of course, my final advice I will be repeating again as I say my tearful goodbye to Carolyn on Aug. 20, “No permanent damage – no babies, no tattoos, no trips to the hospital!” I’m not concerned about this at all, but it doesn’t make the second time around any easier.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

IRS e-mails are gone for good

There is much anti-Internal Revenue Service sentiment lingering multiple months after the infamous missing e-mails become known to the sheep of this nation. We all expect answers as to where the e-mails to and from former IRS “executive” Lois Lerner actually are. Believe this: We’ll never know. It’s that simple - unless, of course, someone comes forward and rats her out. Still, we don’t see that happening. People, there is a reason Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify about the whole mess. That reason? She doesn’t want us to know. The Grand Old Party wants all of us to believe this is obstruction of justice. It is, in our opinion, but the fact that the Republicans, the party of no backbone, are calling it such seems to lessen the impact or severity. And what of the head honcho at the IRS, John Koskinen? He’s appearing to be too much of a sideshow to run the agency efficiently, not that anyone really is up to that task. He was supposed to bring back the luster for the embattled office (like it ever existed), and President Barack Obama indicated that would happen. Instead, we hear Koskinen’s lectures and vitriol, and everything seems as dysfunctional as it was before his appointment to the helm. And, as multiple news outlets have reported, it seems the president wanted his “guy” in charge, because the agency (insert massive shudder here) was charged with the monumental task of implementing ObamaCare. Nothing like having one among the home team watching out for the clubhouse’s best interests. Some believe the safer move would have been to have someone from the GOP run the show at the IRS. That wouldn’t have worked, either. And as for the president, with this, domestic issues, the Middle East and countless other agenda items up in the air, he chose to attend a number of fundraisers on the West Coast last week. Again, wait for the movie, because the e-mails are not coming. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Lap of luxury Commentary by Terry Anker Few would argue that the current system of rapidly increasing costs and compounding debt is a sustainable long-term plan for higher education. Yet there are even fewer among us who might dare to challenge the accepted standard for the paper chase. Certainly, we lucky ones who have managed to matriculate, secure employment, and then make good use of the opportunities presented are standing specimens of the incontrovertible truth that graduates make more money and encounter superior choices over those, on average, without the sheepskin. But in a time of burgeoning and suffocating obligations levied upon those who can least afford it, is the higher education system doing all that it can to open a path to admit more of us to the supposed nirvana of degreed status? Many universities have fallen into a feedback loop of rising costs (often exceeding the cost of living by a dozen or more times in the years since we made our way out of the hallowed halls) and ever-increasing amenities (always claiming that

luxe is the key to a qualified and diverse student body). Are granite counter tops and city bus passes required to become educated? Would one’s understanding of the basic principles of accounting be adversely affected if they had to share a bathroom in the dorm? America continues to teeter, even after the explosive financial correction of these past several years, attempting to balance what it can afford with what it wants. Does indulging our desire to swaddle young people in luxury ensure they will live a life enslaved to debt? Luxury education is not the same as higher education. And when we confuse the two, perhaps we need to go back to school and figure out the distinction. I will take a private room with a view of the rec sports center.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK When you’re racing, you’re living, everything else is just waiting.

– Steve McQueen

As I sit at my desk preparing to write this final installment of my controversial three-part series “Evolution of a Dance humor Mom: An Exposé,” (Pulitzer, take note!) I can’t help but notice how my journey parallels that of someone travelling through the five stages of grief. After my daughter’s first-ever dance competition in January, I wrote of nothing but positives … the supportive and professional atmosphere, the fair and clearly-defined judging guidelines, and the beauty and grace of all the young performers. Dance was the perfect creative and empowering outlet for girls everywhere. Yay dance! Looking back now, I can clearly see I was floating in the shock and denial phase, subconsciously unable and unwilling to look below the glitter lipstick and faux lashes to the crazy that quietly fermented beneath. By her third competition, however, I had moved on to anger. I couldn’t figure out how awards were bestowed, and for that matter, how age groups and skill levels were defined. I’d had it up to her tiara with obnoxious mothers screeching during performances, “WORK IT, KAYLA!” and “YEAH, JASMINE! OWN IT!” And I was done with the eight hours of wait time for three minutes of jazz. On a Saturday. And again on Sunday. Dance is outrageously expensive and most moms are all clearly living vicariously through their tiny tappers; why hadn’t anyone warned me? This wasn’t fair! Where’d my life go? Damn it! But we were committed, and I was forced to stay the course. I failed miserably at the bargaining stage (“If you don’t sign up next year, I’ll buy you a pony!”) and muddled through a few weeks of depression (“I’m sorry my tears ruined your bun, honey . . . I’m just so sad to be missing the family reunion.”). Those were the darkest of days. As the season finished this past week at Nationals, however, I’m proud to say I finally reached the last phase, that of acceptance. My daughter has found her passion, and when I see her light up with pure joy as she leaps across those stages, I know that I must suppress my gut instinct to grab her and run as fast as I can to the nearest rec soccer field. I must do whatever is in my power as a parent to put her dreams ahead of my frustrations. I have accepted the cost, the time commitment, even the requisite sequenced booty shorts. I know to bring a good book, a pair of quality ear plugs, and to simply enjoy the endless opportunities to ruthlessly judge other women and their children. I accept my fate. My name is Danielle. I am a dance mom. Peace out.

New user fee or tax?

Editor, I spoke at the City Council meeting on July 21, in favor of fixing storm water sewer and drainage problems in Carmel like those on Emerson Road. Some of these problems have been festering for over 10 years. However, I was not in favor of Ordinance D-2154-13 that established storm water user fee which is most people’s minds is another word for “tax.” It passed. The new fee/tax goes into effect Nov. 1 and so does the creation of a storm water utility. Yes, more government. Three pages from the 2014 budget that was submitted by the Mayor and approved by the City Council show that no money was budgeted for maintenance, repair, or enhancements to storm sewers or drainage by the engineering department or as cum capital development. I also noticed that nothing was budgeted for in any category for capital sewers. It is beyond imagination that any city of 80,000 people would budget for no expenditures in these categories, especially when the budget included millions for niceto-have things. Now, let’s look at another recent budget underestimation regarding street repaving. In that case, not enough was budgeted in 2014 for street repaving. As anyone could observe, numerous streets in Carmel need repaving. The City Council subsequently moved about

$700,000 from the Rainy Day fund to get streets repaved. Does anyone see a budgeting trend? A user fee/tax that is now law will take in over $3 million a year, $4.95 a month for residential users and an unpublished cost for churches, non profits, and businesses. Do we really need $3 million a year to fix these problems? There has been no study that has been made public to identify how much is needed in the long run but Carmel government wants taxpayer money. We all know what will happen with the funds that will be collected, they will be spent. I am sure the storm water infrastructure didn’t fall apart overnight. The deterioration has been ongoing over many years. Despite increases in City budgets the problems didn’t get funded adequately or fixed. Now we are told there is no money and we need a user fee/tax virtually immediately. I am also amazed with all the information we see in articles about Carmel this problem was kept a secret. I just wonder how many other problems will pop up in the future that we don’t know about. That is why transparency in government is such a big issue. Well, I’d better go adjust my budget so I have money set aside to make my new payments. Submitted by John Accetturo, Carmel

Customers are residents

Editor, I’ve been in and around the field of marketing for 15 years. Most people think that marketing’s purpose is to push out what a company wants to say. That’s untrue. Marketing is about identifying, understanding and engaging customers about issues, products or services they want to learn about, talk about, and buy or support. When companies don’t cater to their customers, when they insist on pushing out messages, instead of engaging with consumers where they are at, on a topic of their choice, they can and will do irreparable damage to their brands. In this community, our customers are residents, business owners, non-resident employees, and visitors. Carmel’s customers overwhelmingly want more information on three things: what’s changing, what’s special and what’s next. They want information on what’s changing, so they understand if and how their lives and daily routines might be affected. Projects like the $80MM Grand & Main, the U.S. 31 highway completion, school redistricting and public safety are of utmost importance. They want information on what’s special, because most have a deep affinity for the City of Carmel as a special place to work, live and play. They take deep pride in the facts like our taxes are lowest in the state for a city with a full-time fire dept., that S&P thought so highly of our financial strength that they raised our credit rating and our top spot

on the CNN/Money Best Places to Live ranking. Lastly, they want information as to what’s next. Those who enjoy the city are very interested in what new amenities, businesses and unique places will be coming to the area, such as the next phase of Carmel City Center, new shops on Rangeline Road and the near-term development of the first phases of MidTown. There are some on the Carmel City Council, and in the community, who appear to be solely focused on sewing negativity and false fears, in order to yield a change in public opinion. In my estimation, those that engage in this practice are not listening to what their customers want, thus risking their personal brands with each word, and ultimately doing themselves and their customers a disservice. Residents, employees, business owners and even visitors are deeply invested in the success of Carmel, and simply want to learn how Carmel community will continue to lead, delight, and make them proud. The fact that we’ve been recognized in numerous areas as one of the best cities in the nation is part of our collective identity. The City of Carmel has led communities across the country in many aspects of placemaking and urban planning, due to careful planning by city leaders, employees and members of this community. Let’s keep focusing on what’s really in front of us – our incredibly bright, sustainable future. Sue Finkam

HART finding traction with ‘Shakespeare in the Park’ By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Bard himself recognized that an audience’s active imagination is needed to make his plays work. Some of his plays theatre have prologues or epilogues to solicit their help. The director of “The Tempest” this summer at White River State Park believes the magic that threads its crucial way through the last play William Shakespeare wrote alone doesn’t have to fool audiences in order to enchant them. For its sixth annual “Shakespeare in the Park” production, Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has brought in Courtney Sale, associate artistic director at Indiana Repertory Theatre, to direct the show. “I lean toward visual storytelling,” Sale said. “And we’ll keep this simple and straightforward. That’s my contract with the audience – it’s not about smoke and mirrors.” That means “we will show some of the strings,” director Sale promised in a recent interview, using an analogy from the art of puppetry. With the aid of movement and the highly detailed use of music, “The Tempest” will engage imaginations at the outdoor venue in three free performances, beginning July 31. It takes place in a more firmly settled atmosphere than the Repertory Theatre has enjoyed in its short history. “We’re trying to be more solid as a company,” said artistic director Diane Timmerman, and move beyond “not knowing if we have funding from year to year.” The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has major support from the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, the Lilly Endowment and the Indianapolis Foundation. And Timmerman sees corporate support as the next step. The actor-founded company, mostly professionals in Actors Equity, has a new partnership with Butler University, where Timmerman chairs the theater department. That gives it the services of student interns and an outdoor rehearsal space, among other benefits. Sale, a newcomer to Indianapolis who lives in the Chatham-Arch neighborhood with her husband and their 9-year-old son, brings to the assignment a background in new plays and devised work (presentations created collectively without pre-existing scripts). Shakespeare’s fantasy of a deposed duke named Prospero who rules a remote island and uses magical powers to bring about personal justice may well be the perfect vehicle for the kind of theatre she favors. The Duplicates, the company she worked with during graduate study at the University of Texas, always did outdoor

performances. “It’s work on a scale I’m comfortable with,” she said, noting that a reverent approach to Shakespeare is not for her. “I told the cast, ‘We can make something new together.’” The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre production’s opening scene, for instance, which gives the play its title, will represent the storm without using any of Shakespeare’s words. That’s among the bolder cuts Sale has made along the way to keeping “The Tempest,” already among Shakespeare’s shortest plays, within Repertory Theatre’s desired two-hour limit. “The blank canvas” that she needs to fill with Shakespeare’s material has room for lots of funny stuff. That’s concentrated in a couple of the shipwrecked characters who enlist the island’s primitive inhabitant, Caliban, to take over the island. “I’m shameless with comedy,” Sale said. She also finds enthralling the intense but innocent young love of Miranda, Prospero’s daughter, and the shipwrecked prince, Ferdinand. “They are really young, and they are the hope for the future,” Sale said. Then there’s the problematic character of Prospero. “I’m fascinated by his difficult nature,” Sale said. “There’s revenge, rage and schemes in Prospero – it’s nice to have that represented. I don’t use a scholarly or cerebral approach to him; I’m making it relational.” In 2011, Sale first saw the actor she’s selected to play Prospero in a one-man show at IRT about the legendary James Beard. That helped pave the way for her to relocate here. Robert Neal starred

in “I Love to Eat,” by IRT playwright-in-residence James Still, whom Sale had met when he visited Austin to see a Duplicates production. “I was enchanted by the play and Robert’s performance. And the post-show discussion was great – it just surprised me.” Sale, who directed “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank” and “The Mountaintop” for IRT this past season, seems to be a connoisseur of happy surprises. She describes Indianapolis as “my Easter-egg hunt.” “I am totally in love with Indianapolis; it snuck up on me,” she said. She’ll reach her one-year anniversary at IRT in August, as she and her husband continue to make a long-distance, two-income marriage work: Sean Manning is director of visitor services at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City – a job whose challenges hardly need description here. The Indianapolis theatre scene in particular wins Sale’s endorsement. “We have an incredible pool of artists and work happening here. I keep being enchanted and surprised,” she said. “There’s so much goodwill too. That doesn’t happen in a lot of other cities.” “The Tempest” • A romance by William Shakespeare, produced by Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre • 8 p.m. July 31, Aug. 1 and Aug. 2 • White River State Park amphitheater just west of downtown Indianapolis • Tickets are free (except for reserved Premium Seats: $15 July 31; $25 Aug. 1 and 2) • For more information, visit heartlandactors.com.

How to pay for your care Commentary by Wesley A. Young If you are concerned about the high costs associated with long term care now or in the future, nursing home and veterans benefits are available to help cover some or all of the costs of in home care, assisted living or a nursing home. Benefit programs are not just for the poor any more. All taxpaying citizens who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive benefits. With the cost of a nursing facility regularly reaching $85,000 per year, very few Hoosiers can afford to pay for care out of pocket. Veterans benefits Myth: Veteran’s benefits can take up to two years to be approved. Reality: A well-crafted, thoroughly completed and handdelivered application can regularly be approved in three weeks to three months. Most veterans who served during war time and their current or surviving spouses can become eligible for benefits which can pay for in home care, assisted living or nursing home. The tax free monthly maximum benefits are: $1,130 for surviving spouse of a veteran; $1,759 for veterans; and $2,085 for veteran and spouse.

Medicaid nursing home benefits Myth: Medicaid can take my house, my car, my money and all of my possessions. Reality: There are several rules that allow for the protection of the majority of a person’s assets. Don’t be misled by misinformation and myths. Medicaid can pay for the entire monthly cost of a nursing home facility, doctor co-pays, medications, dental, vision and other expenses less a portion of the applicant’s fixed monthly income. There are well over a hundred facilities in central Indiana and most of them accept Medicaid. Under current federal law, private pay and Medicaid residents must receive the same level of care and services. Whenever you are working with a government agency, you can count on a maze of forms and procedures to gain eligibility. You should only work with a company that specializes in this area of planning and has relationships with local facilities and their staff. Wesley A. Young is president of Senior Solutions Consulting, Inc., 8310 Allison Pointe Blvd., Indianapolis. He may be contacted at 863-0213.

Amenities key for assisted living Commentary by Ruthann Graham The most recognized trend in assisted living today is “85 is the new 70.” People are waiting longer to move into assisted living. When they decide to make the move, they are looking for a long list of amenities that not only duplicate what they had at home, but additional ones as well. The assisted living resident is becoming more vocal in what they are looking for in their new home. They want high quality food preparation and presentation so that they feel comfortable inviting their friends and family over to join them for a meal. They are looking for amenities that can provide their grandchildren a place to go and play when visiting their grandparents. They are looking for new and exciting activity programming that includes technology learning, exercise programs, and lectures and cultural events that stimulate their body and brain. The trend of the new resident moving to assisted living is “use it or lose it.” And, the communities are having to ramp up their activity programming to accommodate the new awareness of health that is extremely important to the resident.

And, of course, they want transportation that can take them shopping, to appointments and to do personal errands. However, a very welcomed and convenient trend is the communities are now bringing the medical provider to the resident so that the resident doesn’t have to leave the community for doctor appointments and Physical Therapy appointments. Perhaps the biggest trend in assisted living is making sure that when existing assisted livings are renovating or new assisted livings are being built that they include a memory care area or wing to accommodate the ever increasing cognitive disabilities such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The new memory care areas are being built to offer increased sunlight, outdoor spaces, simple and easy to maneuver floor plans that offer ease of mobility for the residents and activities that keep the resident happy and engaged. Ruthann Graham is director of community relations at Magnolia Springs at Bridgewater, 14901 Carey Rd., Westfield. She may be reached at 671-1844 or www.mag-springs.net.

Deemed a lighthearted and fun event designed to bring people together to raise awareness about a devastating disease while raising money to support the Alzheimer’s Association, this year’s Z’Sparkle in Zionsville is at 7 p.m., Aug. 8, on Main Street. “I think, obviously [Alzheimer’s] touches me very personally, and I think it does that for a lot of people,” said founder Amy Lacy. “It’s the sixth leading cause of death in America.” Lacy’s mother died from complications with Alzheimer’s, and thus for five years Lacy has been doing everything in her power to help researchers find the cause and a cure. Since 2010 her group of friends and community sponsors with Z’Sparkle have raised more than $100,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana. “When we hit that mark we felt like our crazy little event had really made a difference in the fight against this horrible disease, but we want to do more, so we’re back for our fifth anniversary.” Lacy said that “dragstars,” men dressed as women, and “dudettes,” women dressed as men will parade down Main Street and “work the crowd” to get donations. Community members such as Bob Goodman, Ray Cortopassi, and Zionsville town councilman Tom Schuler are ex-

pected to dress in drag. Goodman has even grown out his hair for the event, and afterwards will cut it for a donation to Locks of Love. “It’s pillars of the community that are participating in this,” Lacy said. “It’s not an unwholesome event, because it really is just regular guys getting out of their comfort zone to do something great … Cross-dressing does not have to be associated with any kind of sexuality. It is just for fun.” Lacy noted that even Doug Gauthier, Zionsville Police Dept. Capt., dressed up as a woman last year, and even made his own dress out of duct tape. “He let people sign his dress for a donation,” she said. In addition to the parade down Main, there will be a DJ and a special VIP tent in the town lot on Pine Street. The tent, sponsored by Zionsville Meadows, will provide an opportunity for guests to sample foods and spirits while meeting and mingling with the “dragstars” and “dudettes.” The cost of food is included in the ticket price. A microbrewery beer van, wines and the signature drink “Sparkle-tinis” will be provided by Cobblestone Grill at a cash bar. Tickets are available online at www.zsparkledragrace.com, at Akard’s True Value Hardware or at the door. They cost $12 online or $10 at Akard’s.

With average home prices reaching $173,393 in June 2014, home sales prices are up 7.4 percent compared to June 2013. real estate Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County was among the areas reporting gains – up 8.3 percent to $265,311 from $244,960. • The average sale price in Carmel experienced an increase. For the first six months of this year, the average price rose 8.2 percent to $339,856 from $314,093. • In Carmel, pended home sales have declined. Last month, 158 homes pended, a decrease of 61 homes compared to June 2013. • Homes in Carmel are selling faster. Last

month, homes spent an average of 71 days on the market – 12 fewer days compared to June 2013. • In Carmel, inventory has increased. In June 2014, 608 homes were available for sale, while 596 homes were available in June 2013. When comparing this year’s sales numbers to last year’s, it’s important to consider that 2013 was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. In 2013, we were still recovering from the previous cycle of the housing downturn, so last year’s spike in sales was tremendous. I believe we’re likely approaching a ‘new normal’ where sales growth will be less dramatic moving forward.

Marrakesh: Cobras on the square Commentary by Don Knebel When Marrakesh (or Marrakech) was a stop along the international “hippie trail,” Crosby, Stills and Young sang fondly of “blowing travel smoke rings” and “charming cobras on the square.” Today, smoke rings are harder to find in Morocco’s third-largest city, but cobras still entertain visitors on the celebrated square. The Almoravids founded Marrakesh at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in 1062 as the capital of an Islamic empire comprising southern Spain and northwest Africa. The Almohads, practicing a severe form of Islam, conquered Marrakesh in 1147, killing thousands of its citizens and destroying many of its buildings. The Almohads built the Koutubia mosque over the ruins, its 253-foothigh minaret now a Marrakesh landmark. Marrakesh declined under the Almohads, but entered a period of renewal in the 16th century under the Saadi dynasty, which built the magnificent El Badi Palace to mimic the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The beautiful Saadian tombs, rediscovered in 1917, contain graves of Jewish members of the palace staff mingled with those of the Muslim royal family. In the late 19th century, Marrakesh’s Grand Vizier built the Bahia Palace for his four wives and 24 concubines in the mudejar style of Moorish Spain and Morocco. In the 1960s and ‘70s, Marrakesh’s hashish and hostels attracted members of the counterculture

seeking a cheap kasbah high. Its aura of authentic oriental mysticism drew the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Yves St. Laurent, whose ashes were spread around the restored Marjorelle Garden that he purchased in 1980. Hashish is now illegal in Marrakesh and deluxe hotels and casinos have replaced the flophouses of the hippie era. Visitors come from around the world to see the Koutubia mosque, the Saadian tombs, the Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fnaa, the most famous square in Africa. Reportedly once the site of public beheadings, the square is filled

ISN’T IT TIME YOU EXPERIENCED THE LUXURY OF A RIVER CRUISE?

317.813.4670 www.TheDestinationStation.com

Chance vs. opportunity Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, I would like to take this ‘chance’ to ask you about the use of ‘chance & opportunity’. I see this as a real ‘opportunity’ humor to clear up the proper time to use each word. Thank you for the ‘chance’ to write you. I can’t wait for the ‘opportunity’ to read your reply.” – (David Stratton) Answer: This is a tricky one, David. We’ll see why in a moment. Consider this example: Every child born in the United States has a chance of becoming president. Few of us, however, will have the opportunity. In many circumstances, “chance” and “opportunity” are interchangeable. Merriam-Webster lists a primary definition for both of them as “an amount of time or a situation in which something can be done.” Fortunately, our friends at the dictionary also offer a few more elucidative definitions for each. “Chance,” they say, is “the way that events happen when they are not planned or controlled by people” – or, more simply put, “the possibility

that something will happen.” An “opportunity” according to Merriam-Webster, is “a favorable juncture of circumstances” or “a good chance for advancement or progress.” That last definition – “a good chance” – is the key here. A “chance” is broad and undirected, like, for example, a job listing in a newspaper. Anyone can see the listing. Anyone can apply. An “opportunity” is specific and, importantly, positive. Continuing with our job listing, the “opportunity” is when they call you to offer you a trial run at the position. “Opportunity” comes from “opportune,” meaning “suitable or convenient for a particular occurrence.” The “particular occurrence” part of that is your takeaway this week. A “chance” is a nebulous possibility that something might or might not happen. An “opportunity” is a good possibility of some particular, positive thing happening or being made to happen. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

Watch your waist – In the heightened competition for your breakfast buck, fast-food restaurants are engaging in a fierce battle for your stomach – though your waistline could be the biggest casualty of all. That’s because adding protein to your breakfast could mean more calories, especially when your meal consists of a fast-food sandwich. The extra calories don’t necessarily come from the egg or meat but from cheese, butter and fat used in preparation. Source: finance.yahoo.com © 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd.

No matter what ingredients you use, they should be prepared separately, then arranged nicely on a bed of lettuce.

Creative interpretation of an outdoor fireplace Commentary by Randy Sorrell This incredible outdoor creation was driven by the brilliant homeowners’ vision for something unique, elegant, very livable Outdoors and full of shade opportunities. A place where family and friends can connect is the result is art, steel and fire merged. Her sense of style guided our design – and, we may have borrowed a few design features from another structure built earlier this year. She witnessed the drama of oversized lumber married with the tapered columns and immediately recognized the value. We consider this a modern interpretation of craftsman style (whatever that means). Shade/privacy Again, shade was a major driver as well as creating a formal outdoor room sensation. The drapes contribute in a lively fashion for each and watching them catch the breeze and provide movement is an added bonus. Immediate intimacy is created when they are partially closed. Brightly colored pots filled with fragrant annuals and a palm jazz up the space. Fire Notice the rusted steel panel suspended between the columns towards the back of the space. That piece of custom art serves as a fireplace “chimney” to the rectangular steel basin below which behaves as the remaining fireplace.

This incredibly custom piece is absolutely a focal point to the space and is an original, although I have not been asked to sign it. Space, budget and design often don’t allow for a formal fireplace and this was our creative interpretation. I’m imagining there will be more to follow. Incredible outdoor living spaces continue to dominate everyday conversations. Families

gather. Friends convene. Problems are solved and smiles are discovered. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm. He may be reached at 679-2565, randy@choosesurroundings.com or www.choosesurroundings.com.

Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures Commentary by David Decker While most people wouldn’t think vinyl to be a very contemporary flooring choice, there have been many innovations in vinyl indoors over the last few years. Today’s luxury vinyl tile (or LVT) products have been specially developed to mimic the look of natural materials and textures, which can bring a new degree of beauty into your home. While LVT has been gaining popularity among builders, the majority of homeowners remain unaware of the innovations and benefits of LVT flooring. Let’s quickly take a crash course in LVT 101. Aesthetics Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures such as distressed wood finishes, stone, slate and even woven textiles into virtually any space. The wide array of designs comes from the way it’s manufactured. LVT is created when layers of different synthetic materials are bonded together and overlaid with an image. The appearance of the design is actually printing using a giant press, and then protected with a clear coating that’s applied on top. LVT prints are pretty amazing because they can perfectly render various natural materials such as stone or hardwood almost identically. It’s no secret that natural materials can often be very expensive to install and maintain. (Hardwood especially comes with limitations due to wood’s susceptibility to moisture and harsh temperatures.) But luxury vinyl

Northampton is a moisture-resistant plank that features seven-year light commercial Virgin vinyl, making it durable and easy to clean. (Submitted photo)

offers you an alternative way to capture the look of natural materials and bring them into spaces that may not have accommodated the real-life versions. The only consideration to take into account is that LVT must be used on flat, level surfaces. This means it cannot be used on stairways or other inclines. Maintenance LVT has gained a reputation for being durable and easy to maintain. The protective top layer makes its surface scratch, stain, dent and scuff resistant: ideal for high traffic areas. Addition-

ally, LVT floors are inherently water resistant. All that’s required to clean LVT is simple, damp mopping. And because it’s made from sustainable materials that can be recycled, vinyl is a green building material. Safety Manufacturers of LVT have paid careful attention to creating a product that’s safe to use in commercial and residential spaces. Vinyl meets flammability codes and is slip resistant in case of spillage. And because it’s made of multiple, resilient layers, LVT planks are generally more comfortable to stand on for long periods of time. As an added benefit, they tend to be warmer underfoot than ceramic tile or stone. Cost Luxury Vinyl tiles are quite cost efficient, when compared to their natural counterpart. And given their durability properties, LVT flooring can last for years to come if properly cleaned and maintained.

Bill Frudenthal Emergency MD

Fast and friendly emergency care. Why do some people choose St.Vincent Carmel over other ER’s? Maybe it’s because we not only have average wait times of less than 20 minutes, but we also offer some of the area’s friendliest and most compassionate care. Which explains why we’ve been named an Emergency Center of Excellence—the only one in central Indiana—multiple times. The next time you experience a health emergency, think fast. And choose St.Vincent Carmel for care that’s been repeatedly recognized as one of the best in the nation. For current Er wait times, text CArE to 41411.
