Brother keeps sister’s legacy alive

By Gary Boskovich • news@currentincarmel.com

When Casey Crouse’s sister, Ashley, was killed by a drunk driver on campus while attending Indiana University, Casey’s world was giving back turned upside down. It was like an arrow pierced his heart and created a hole that couldn’t be filled. Ashley was a soul that cared about others more than she cared about herself. While at IU she became a member of a student run philanthropy called Indiana University Dance Marathon. Founded in 1991, IUDM raises funds and donates them to Riley Children’s Hospital. They have raised more than $16 million for Riley since their inception. As was her nature, Ashley dedicated her time and energy to IUDM and eventually served as vice president. “She went into IUDM full force,” Casey said. Casey Crouse stands with his bike. (Submitted photo) Following in Ashley’s footsteps, Casey went to IU in 2006. He wanted to honor his sister’s legacy by full triathlon which is comprised of a 2.4-mile swim, a becoming a part of the IU Dance Marathon team. 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile marathon.

City Council recap

Compiled by Sophie Pappas

What happened: The Edward Rose project was passed. “This came out with a unanimous vote,” Councilwoman Luci Snyder said of her subcommittee’s decision to approve the project. “…I have to say it meets all the criteria that I usually have for these kinds of things.” What it means: Edward Rose Development Group has asked council for 75 percent of the TIF money raised from its project in the Main and Meridian area.

What’s next: The money will be used to repay bonds secured by the developer that will pose no financial risk to the city.

When a dinner party at your place is considered an event,

What happened: Councilor Eric Seidensticker introduced an ordinance to authorize the issuance of economic development revenue bonds to a project at the Sophia Pointe allocation area. “This is a request for TIF,” Seidensticker said. What it means: This would be a part of the KG Main LLC project and the issuance would not exceed $3,825,000, and the site would include apartments, retail and parking areas. Bruce Donaldson with Barnes and Thornburg said the name for this area has been changed to Olivia on Main. “This is the filler project to complete this [area],” Donaldson said. “This is a mixed-use development.” He said there would be a separate developer area, with a 75 to 25 percent split, and there would be no liability to the city. Proceeds from the bonds would go towards getting the site ready, including the removal of an on-site church.

What’s next: This project will go before the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, and then to the finance subcommittee.

What happened: Councilor Seidensticker discussed an ordinance that could allow for urban chickens to be raised in the city, without the requirement of having at least three acres of land for them. This ordinance was adopted. What’s next: Homeowners may now house up to six live chickens in their backyards.

What happened: Councilors Snyder and Sue Finkam spoke about an ordinance to appropriate $30,000 towards Indy Express for Carmel residents. What it means: “This ordinance is basically asking for an addionaly appropriation,” Finkham said. Finkham said this will help public transportation methods for Carmel residents, who ride the Indy Express busses, which currently operate on bus fares only.

What it means: “This modifies the number of urban chickens one can have in their back yard,” Seidensticker said. “There have been several calls about this.” This proposal would allow for up to six chickens to be raised in the backyards of Carmel urban homes. This is an increase from three chickens.

Old Town Design Group begins several projects

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Throughout the Old Town section of Carmel, small lots have been developed into custom homes by local developer development Justin Moffett. Moffett describes the homes as “right-sized” because they feature smaller yard sizes with the home buyers’ money being spent on amenities rather than land. And Moffett’s reach will extend even further with several new projects in the works. His company, Old Town Development, is working on a new project near Carmel’s historic F. C. Tucker Company’s

Justin Moffett plans to develop Phase 2 of the Blackwell Park project in Old Town Carmel. Pictured is a home from Phase 1 of the project. (Submitted photo)

downtown, called Blackwell Park Phase 2. They plan to build 23 homes on 6.68 acres, located around 240 Fifth Street NE. The project sits in the Northeast quadrant of Old Town, with Range Line Road to the west and Carmel High School to the east. Blackwell Park Phase 1 was constructed in 2010 and all the homes are occupied. Moffett said one big part of his plan is take Burnett Court – an area that dead-ends with no connectivity and possible drainage issues – and remove it to help build this subdivision. “What we’ve heard loud and clear from the neighborhood is they would like to see Burnett Court redeveloped and turned into something attractive for the neighborhood,” he said. “Our hope is to bring back into the character of Old

Town Carmel.” In order to maintain necessary green space and provide a tree buffer, Moffett acquired a parcel at 1945 E. 136th Street. They’ve split the property at Cool Creek and include the southern acres as a preserved woodlands common area. Moffett said it would be a tremendous natural amenity open to all. There will also be a nearby pocket park. Adding to the project, last week the Carmel City Council and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission approved the sale of a piece of property at 7th Street NW. The property had an appraised value of $203,000. Moffett’s group placed a bid of $65,000 for the property, but agreed to improvements to the area, such as road repairs and the park, that it brought the overall value to far more than $200,000. One nearby resident voiced some concerns about this project’s proximity to his neighborhood. “This proposal will use existing neighbors’ yards and existing neighbors’ trees as a buffer zone and there’s no real buffer zone,” said neighbor Brian Borlick. Moffett responded by saying there are alleys on the east and west ends of the property. He said the lots are even larger than many surrounding areas and emphasized that he really believes this development is what planners originally intended for the area. He believes there are adequate tree buffers.

An individual can be charged with an OVWI when operating a motorized vehicle, not exclusively automobiles. When defending against an OVWI charge, one would be well advised to seek legal counsel. Police Officers are required to follow the law precisely when initiating traffic stops, administering field sobriety tests, and B.A.C. tests; and law enforcement’s failure to do may result in evidentiary problems in prosecuting the case. The police must have reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop (or other related stop) of a vehicle. If this legal threshold is not satisfied, it is possible to have all the evidence garnered from that stop suppressed or excluded from trial. In the event the police have properly stopped you under suspicion of OVWI, they will perform a series of field sobriety tests and likely administer a P.B.T. ("Portable Breathalyzer Test") as well. If you fail some or all of these tests, this will usually result in your immediate arrest. While the P.B.T. test may help secure probable cause to arrest an individual, the blood alcohol amount registered on that test are inadmissible in Court. Once you've been arrested, you will be taken to the police station for a B.A.C. ("Blood Alcohol Content") test. This is done on a machine that is kept scientifically calibrated to ensure that the results are reliable and thus, admissible in Court. If the results of this test reflect a BAC of ".08" (the legal limit in Indiana) or above, then the State will likely file charges against you. If you

knowingly refuse the test after you are read the Implied Consent Law, your license can be suspended for a year (in addition to any OVWI suspension you might receive if convicted), and the State will likely get a warrant to have a nurse draw your blood and test your BAC. Once the State has filed charges against you, your driver's license is usually suspended immediately based upon the probable cause for your arrest. Upon conviction, your driver’s license has to be suspended for a minimum of thirty days. A 2nd OVWI conviction within a five year period will result in a felony charge and a driver’s license suspension for a minimum of one hundred and eighty days. Regardless of the timing of your arrest, on your second and third OVWI convictions there are state mandated minimum amounts of jail time to be served (with few exceptions). Finally, if you receive an OVWI conviction and nine minor traffic violations in a ten year period, or three OVWI convictions (or other convictions for "serious traffic offenses") in a ten year period, you can be adjudged an Habitual Traffic Violator ("HTV") and receive a driver’s license suspension for five to ten years. If you are caught driving while adjudged an HTV, you are charged with a felony offense and you can receive a lifetime driving suspension.

Former Party Time Rental spot looks to have new tenant

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

It appears that there might be new life breathed into the long-vacant Party Time Rental location in Carmel. business Preliminary plans have identified a potential tenant for the location on Range Line Road across from Kroger Supermarket. Sources tell Current that the plans would include demolishing the old building and creating a new building that would incorporate green space. Improved connectivity to Range Line Road would also be a priority. No tenant was identified but it would likely be a business in the food and beverage industry. Nothing is set in stone and it would be premature to expect an announcement soon, but planning has reached the stage where there are architectural drawings of a proposed plan. Developing a plan for the Party Time Rental space has been a priority for government leaders

because it is a highly visible location in Carmel’s popular Range Line Road business corridor. Once considered a lifeless road, Range Line has been transformed over the last five years with the opening of the Carmel City Center, a new Turkey Hill convenience store, a new Walgreens and a rebuilt shopping center that houses several tenants such as Earth Fare. City leaders would still like to find a buyer for the former Shapiro’s Deli space and the old Walgreen location. Officials say they are hopeful and there are several interested parties. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard previously identified the Carmel Drive intersection near Party Time Rental as a location for a new roundabout paid for through federal money. The Carmel City Council expressed their disagreement by recently voting to not include that roundabout in the city’s comprehensive plan. It’s believed that any roundabout plan would involve relocating the nearby Arby’s.

CEF: the group you need to know about By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Co-directed by two retired Carmel teachers, Barbara Danquist and Stephanie McDonald, the Carmel Education education Foundation is all about the students and teachers of Carmel schools. In 1966, James and Associates, a company doing the expansion work on Carmel Middle School, wanted to donate $200 to the Carmel Clay schools for scholarships. The school superintendent, Forrest Stoops, and a teacher, Jim Garretson, worked together with a group of Carmel citizens met create the Carmel Clay Education Foundation, Inc., a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization. The original Board of Directors consisted of 21 members of the Carmel community. The first CCEF board president was John Klingensmith. In 2010, the Carmel Clay Education Foundation adopted a new brand identity, the Carmel Education Foundation. CEF awarded its first scholarship in 1966. Over time, new scholarships have been added. The first named scholarship was the Elsie George Scholarship, funded by the sale of the red chairs from her classroom. Since then, CEF has awarded over $1.6 million in scholarships through its 40 endowed scholarships and more than 26

applying for grants Carmel Clay Schools teachers are encouraged to apply for Carmel Education Foundation grants this fall. Previous grants awarded include items such as: • District Wide Grant – Books for 411 students in Carmel’s three Title 1 schools will be purchased as well as securing more Title 1 funds. • Mohawk Trails Elementary – High-quality pedometers will be purchased for 600 K-5 students for a yearlong Pilot Program called Turtle Trek. • Orchard Park Elementary – Extremely worn gym equipment will be replaced. • Woodbrook Elementary – A “Social Thinking” curriculum will be used for 14 weeks to strengthen students’ social skills and emotional regulation supports. • Creekside Middle – A NASA-designed paper rocket project will be used for 450 eighthgrade science students. annual scholarships funded by individuals and organizations. The other, lesser-known aspect of the CEF is the teaching grants program. These grants are awarded to teachers and their classrooms every year. This year, the CEF has handed out more than $12,000 worth of classroom grants, and they are gearing up to award another $22,000 this fall. Danquist said that these grants are for teachers who “know they need to do something else.” “The grants go towards a variety of things,” she said. “In their research and work in the classroom teachers come up with something they think would benefit their classes … Some-

times the things they need tend to be a little high budget so that’s where we come in.” McDonald said that one example of a useful teaching grant was illustrated in the spring when more than 400 children on the free and reduced lunch program were given books to read over the summer break. “And that program covered three schools,” she said. Teachers interested in submitting a grant application should contact the foundation at foundation@ccs.k12.in.us. The fall grant deadline is Sept. 8.

Carmel woman prepares for Mrs. America By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Beautiful gowns, perfect hair and flawless makeup is how most people picture beauty pageants. However, Carmel’s own profile Shelly Walters is much more than a “pretty face.” On Aug. 29, Mrs. America will be selected from women all over the country and Walters will be representing the state as Mrs. Indiana. Walters will be headed to Tucson, Ariz., to compete for the Mrs. America title over a span of eight days. She will be involved with many hours of preparation, photo shoots and rehearsals. She will also be competing through an interview with a panel of judges and through a swimsuit and evening gown competition. The competition includes a costume as well, and Walters will be wearing an Indy 500-themed race suit and helmet. She said: “It won’t be glamorous, but it will be real from the track.” Beyond the glamor, it is clear Walters is most excited about her platform. “The Mrs. America pageant is basically a competition like Miss America or Miss USA. It’s another pageant system but more involved because women have the ability to push their platforms more because they are established women,” she said. Mrs. Indiana’s platform this year is Make Good Decisions. This is an organization that educates

teens and young adults on the dangers of underage drinking and other destructive behaviors. The organization was developed due to Indiana’s

Lifeline law, which provides immunity to minors for certain substance abuse offenses if they seek help in a medical emergency or report a crime. Walters shared how many young people lose their lives due to teens and young adults being too scared to call for help if there is someone in need if those involved are underage and committing a crime. The Lifeline Law hits close to home for Walters. Her close friends Dawn and Norm lost their son, Brett, due to alcohol poisoning that was not treated in time. Walters said the loss could have been prevented. Brett was at a party involving underage drinking before heading off to college the next day when he had too much to drink and no one was aware of the Lifeline Law. Those around him were too afraid to call for help, so they allowed him to pass out without seeking the medical attention he needed. “It is a very emotional story and it hits many kids hard,” she said of telling Brett’s story. The Lifeline Law would have protected those involved from being arrested. Walters has a strong desire to use the Mrs. America pageant opportunity to share this law with all 50 delegates in hopes each one will take this information to their home state. “I just hope to get someone to listen to me and connect with me and maybe one day this law will be in all 50 states,” Walters said.

To Ginny and Herb Commentary by Jeff Worrell

RIVERVIEW HOSPITAL IS NOW RIVERVIEW HEALTH.

Joint Replacement Seminar

Dear Ginny and Herb Luzader, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty of writing a column with volunteerism you as subjects. I beg your pardon, please, for drawing attention to your dedicated volunteer service at the Carmel Clay Historical Society. Let’s just say this column is meant more for your many admirers, than it is for you. A chance for your friends to fondly remember your years of selfless service, even though I know talking Submitted photo to the press (me) is not your thing. Sherri Judd should be the Luzader Fan Club Prez. She turned me on to you and said, “If you haven’t done a column on Ginny and Herb, you are missing out on two of the most dedicated volunteers I know. They are a couple of people who certainly are deserving of a ‘spotlight’ since retiring from CCHS.” Executive Director Katherine Dill reports that Ginny and Herb volunteered at the Museum for decades. She said, “They are life members of the CCHS and up until this year, ran the museum guide program at the Monon Depot Museum – a National Register listed property.” The Luzader team made sure the details were

always handled; including taking personal care of the guides. Dill said, “They always wanted to make sure their volunteers were well taken care of and felt appreciated. Each year they held a Guide Recognition Bruch at their home.” Local business owner Melisa Keiser of the Travel Company said, “Ginny and Herb Luzader have been amazing, tireless volunteers for the Carmel Clay Historical Society for many years. I joined the CCHS Board as Treasurer, just after Herb Luzader left that position. He was so knowledgeable and very helpful in getting me settled in my new role. And, what can we say about Ginny? She was in charge of Docents at the museum for years and years. She and Herb have selflessly put so much of their time and energy into helping make CCHS what it is today. I applaud their contribution and public service.” Ginny and Herb are also humble, as they quickly dismissed my interview request. But of course, that most likely is the reason they are so loved and definitely admired. Good day, Carmel.

Josh Kaufman is a fan of all types of music, demonstrated by his eclectic selection of songs and range of interests. He expressed gratitude to the great musicians who forged ahead of him and was pleased to see some of them honored at the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame Award Wall in the Palladium. (Photo by Tonya Burton)

On Aug. 14, after a family vacation to Florida, Josh Kaufman arrived at the Palladium for an interview, wearing his signature fedora, a polo shirt, and skinny jeans. “Well, it’s not like Usher or Adam Levine who can’t go anywhere,” Kaufman said of walking around Carmel. “I’m just glad people care … and I guess, they do connect with my music.” Kaufman is a Carmel resident who became the season six winner of the NBC hit “The Voice,” nabbing a $100,000 grand prize and a recording contract with Republic Records, a division of Universal. Much has been written about Kaufman since his appearance on “The Voice.” He is an original artist, performing since the age of 4 when his mother sat him on the piano bench at church and encouraged him to sing. In his teens, he appeared three times on Ed McMahon’s “Star Search,” and later auditioned for Simon Cowell’s “The X-Factor.” After years of being a regular at the Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Indianapolis and working as an SAT prep tutor, Kaufman’s wife, Jennifer Myer, encouraged him to try out for “The Voice.” Something clicked at “The Voice” auditions. All four chairs turned around for him. This time Kaufman was ready. Although his journey was challenged by events such as change of coaches to snafus on iTunes, he prevailed. On May 20 he was named the winner making him the first from Team Usher to win. Josh has been on a whirlwind ride since entering the contest. What followed the end of the show was “The Voice Tour” of 31 cities in seven weeks, beginning in San Antonio and ending in Redmond, Wash. Josh was joined by finalists Jake Worthington and Christina Grimme, as well as Season Five winner, powerhouse Tessane Chin. During the tour, Josh sang duets with Chin, including Rhianna’s “Stay.” Then, in conjunction with the projection of Usher on a big screen image, he performed “Every Breath You Take,” written by Sting and made popular by The Police in 1983. After “The Voice Tour,” Kaufman interrupted his family vacation for a day and flew back to Indianapolis for a State Fair performance, where an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people gathered at the free stage. He

appeared with his band, New Etiquette, which includes drummer, Ryan Koch and bassist Nate Gray. Kaufman’s eclectic style was clearly in evidence as he performed songs such as John Legend’s “All of Me,” and his own compositions, “Love and Regret” and “My Delusion.” Of particular interest, was Sinead O’Connor’s hit, “Nothing Compares to You.” “The melody is the same. I just changed the chord progression. I heard the song on my alarm clock one morning and thought to myself, ‘Oh, I could do it this way.’ I’ve been doing it that way for about 15 years,” Kaufman said. That process of seeing things both in part and

in whole provides a glimpse into the workings of Kaufman’s mind. Kaufman graduated from IUPUI as a philosophy major. Rather than viewing philosophy as arcane, he said he sees it as the principle behind everything. When one talks to him, his voice is warm and animated, but anyone would be aware of the deliberate thought and weight given to each answer, each response. What’s next for Josh Kaufman? Since “The Voice Tour” is over, Kaufman said he will be heading to New York City for meetings to discuss his new album and specifically a single, which will be released first. He’s looking for that magic formula that will put it over the top, a release on iTunes and plenty of radio play. As far as where he will live, his family is committed to staying in Carmel where his oldest daughter is enrolled in school. “I will travel as I need to, and my family will join me when they can, but we discussed it and we want to stay here,” he said. Kaufman said he hopes people continue to feel connected to his music. “That’s what I want. That’s what they worked with me on at ‘The Voice.’ They said, your music’s solid. Let’s work on connection. Look people in the eye; make contact with the audience. And, man …Usher. When Usher walks out on the stage, he owns it. He is a phenomenal performer. And, that’s what I kept thinking … how can I become a better all-around artist,” he said. Kaufman’s next performance in Indiana will be at the Indy Jazz Fest on Sept. 13.

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP Ferguson: Wrong on many levels The unfortunate, multi-faceted sadness that is Ferguson, Mo., has brought so much angst and confusion in recent days. We have to believe no one wanted to see anyone killed, and we also have to believe no one wanted order disrupted in the Midwest town. In looking for any positive to come out of the whole mess – and it is a mess – we found two, one in Ferguson and one in Indianapolis. With the former, the parents of the late Michael Brown, who was gunned down by police, vociferously urged that the violence and looting cease immediately. These folks were dealing with the loss of a son, and yet they had the fortitude to step up and make a bold statement. The latter was in the form of a WISH-8 interview, during which The Rev. Charles Harrison of the 10-Point Coalition said, among other things, the aftermath of the fatal shooting could have been avoided were there people who really knew the community, could talk to the community and could be mediators between police and the people, especially when emotions ran high. Harrison, WISH-8 reported, said the heavy-handed tactics by police, may not have been necessary if there were community leaders and clergy who would step in. Agreed. And then there was this: As one of us was making his way home from work recently, the radio news offered attorneys for Brown’s family, saying that the release of the videotape of him holding up a convenience store for merchandise was “character assassination.” We’re wondering still whether it was Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton advising the lawyers. You can’t make this stuff up. And to the looters in Ferguson we would suggest this: It’s not protesting; it’s stealing. There is no other way to couch it. We’re 100 percent for freedom of speech, and we support the First Amendment daily, but in no way is looting defined as free speech. ••• Because of Labor Day, next week’s Current will arrive on Wednesday.

My response to Rick Sharp

An organized community Commentary by Terry Anker Beheadings. Blood in the streets. Riots. Governments out of control. With the daily updates from news gathers here at home and globally, we are steeped our inhumanity to one another. Our President, commenting on the recent murder by decapitation of American Journalist James Foley, claimed that the Islamic State rebels “speak for no religion.” And yet, their own fiery brand of “community organizers” seem well equipped to rally the faithful into immeasurable atrocity all claiming that they represent the “truest” form of the belief. We thinking and rational members of society can all unite in disgust at the perversion asserted against Islam and humanity by these socalled leaders, but while watching the evening news one realizes that the line between advocacy and lunacy is not always a bright one. What is the appropriate role for a community organizer? And, is there a duty of restraint? Day after day of organized “peaceful” protests in suburban St. Louis recently would eventually

turn to violence, theft and lawlessness. Certainly the national and international media attention drawn by the chaos has catapulted a few locals into celebrity status. And the typical talking heads and “national leaders” jumped their private planes to ensure that they received an adequate share of the television face-time. By one measure, the issue of alleged police brutality is so great that any manner inflammatory hyperbole is warranted. One man in the spotlight, identified only as “community organizer,” commented on the Grand Jury empanelled to provide due process to the police officer accused of murder and sparking the up rise by saying that all would be well as long as the Jury convicted the officer.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K “What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” –Oscar Wilde

Editor, Councilmember Rick Sharp, in his Letter to the Editor in the Current’s Aug. 12 edition, highlights a concern many citizens have about the level of expertise he possesses in regards to his constant criticism of everything the administration of Jim Brainard undertakes. If the Mayor says a matter is white, Mr. Sharp immediately says it is black. It does not matter if the idea is good for the City. Mr. Sharp is against it citing his extensive background in business to fortify his reasons. However, in the letter of the 12th he, again, displayed his lack of business experience when he provided his definition of “sales” as “designed to tell customers only what is necessary for the sale”. Whether he knows it or not, that method of selling went out of vogue with enlightened organizations a half century ago in favor of what many refer to as “Needs/ Benefits Selling” wherein you find out what your stakeholders Needs are and you provide the Benefits to fulfill those Needs. In Mr. Sharp’s case he has been trying for the past three years to “sell” himself as our next mayor. What he is finding out is that the citizens of this community don’t really want ... need ... or see a benefit in what he is selling. And, as that has happened his rhetoric has gotten more hysterical, more high pitched and more inaccurate, not to mention condescending and disdainful towards his colleagues on Council and on our volunteer boards and commissions. I have heard Mr. Sharp over many years refer to his extensive business experience. In addition we hear him constantly advocate for transparency. Yet it is interesting that he has been so non-transparent about the specifics of his own business experience. I don’t believe the majority of us who have served with him on Council know anything about his professional background except that he sells, and sometimes installs, washers and dryers in small-town laundromats around the State. As Mr. Sharp avidly pursues his election campaign it would be appropriate for him to share his professional resume’ with the community so that the citizens of Carmel can gauge if he is really qualified to be making the pronouncements and pontifications he is so eager to regale us with.

Triathlon? Mind over-matter Commentary by Danielle Wilson Veni, vidi, vici, people. My first triathlon is in the books, and I am extremely proud to say I finished under my goal time. More humor importantly, I managed to keep from vomiting throughout the 90-minute ordeal, which is seriously saying something since I was suffering from a most-untimely intestinal bug. It’s true. I dry-heaved throughout the night before, at first thinking it was just pre-race jitters, but then quickly realizing some nasty virus had parked its trashy double-wide in my gut. At 4:30 a.m., my entire pasta dinner reappeared, and blew my carbo-loading plan all to hell. At 6:30, a mere two hours before the race, I couldn’t even stomach a banana. My husband Doo and a brother-in-law, also competing in their first triathlons, thought this was hilarious. I did not. But push on I did, thanks to my uncle, who successfully swam across the English Channel in June. Alone. At night. He threw up three times along his 13-hour quest, subsisting only on Gatorade. If he could do amazing things while blowing chow, so could I! Mind over matter became my mantra, and after the swim, I actually felt okay. The need to hurl had somewhat subsided and the cramps rolled through less frequently. I still stank on the bike portion though, partly because I was low on energy but mostly because I was borrowing my mother-in-law’s bulky mountain bike. All that was

missing from my leisurely ride that morning was a wicker basket and a jaunty flag. I already had the bell! Not that I used it. I passed nary a soul on that long and lonely loop. When the 5K run began, I knew I was physically back in trouble. The nausea returned in full force, along with the kind of incontinence that can only be understood by mothers of many children and/or giganto-headed babies. I tried sucking down a Powergel but ended up chucking it into the woods as I struggled just to climb the first hill. English Channel. Jellyfish. Frigid water. Sweet mercy, how did he do that? And then, a miracle. I spotted Doo ahead. Walking. So with a half mile to go, I pulled even, smacked him on his butt, and wheezed out a “Let’s finish this together!” He made it another 400 meters before spurring me onwards. I kicked it in, passed a woman in my age group, and crossed the finish line, upright. Thank God! I don’t recall much of the afternoon, as I spent it in bed battling a low-grade fever, fatigue and feelings of general ickiness. But I’m proud of myself for persisting, and am already planning my next tri-conquest. Hopefully, it won’t include barfing. Peace out.

THE CARE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

WITHOUT THE WAIT.

The seven-title Noblesville Movie Series begins Aug. 30 with “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and includes the animated films “Despicable Me 2,” “Monsters University” and “Frozen” (pictured). (Photo illustration)

Fall in love with the Noblesville Movie Series By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

As the seasons prepare to transition from summer to fall, the Noblesville Parks and Recreation Dept. is moving past its summer concert season and into outdoor movies. movies “We’re looking for ways the community can celebrate the arts. Coming off the concert series, now we head to the cinematic side of things,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said. The seven-title series includes newer movies that were released in theaters in the past year. The films will be shown free of charge at Forest Park Shelter 1, 701 Cicero Rd., Noblesville, starting Aug. 30. “They’re general, family-friendly movies that families can bring little kids out to,” Assistant Parks Director Mike Hoffmeister said. “We certainly try to bring in everybody.” This year’s series includes: “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” on Aug. 30, “Man of Steel” on Sept. 6, “Frozen” and “Now You See Me” on Sept. 13, “Despicable Me 2” on Sept. 20, “Iron Man 3” on Sept. 27 and “Monsters University,” which will be shown during the Oct. 3 Fall Festival First Friday celebration on the downtown square. “They have an expensive list of movies that we go through and try to keep for families and children,” Hoffmeister said, adding the entire park staff participates and reviews are taken into consideration. “We had one change (from ‘Gravity’ to ‘Now You See Me’) because of some bad reviews.”

All films are rated PG-13 or under. This year’s films follow a theme of family-friendly action, adventure and comedy. Films like “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” starring Jennifer Lawrence, and “Frozen,” voiced by Wicked’s Idina Menzel and Kristin Bell, feature young heroines battling against the forces of evil and personal limitations. The superhero films like Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” and Warner Bros.’ “Man of Steel” contain heavy amounts of action and fantasy violence. “Iron Man 3” continues the popular Marvel film series and picks up the storyline of Tony Stark after The Avengers saved the world. “Man of Steel,” a modern retelling of the Superman origin story, stars Henry Cavill and Amy Adams. “We certainly try to bring in everybody. There are movies for older adults who don’t want to come out to the animated films,” Hoffmeister said. “(The schedule) brings in different crowds.” Hoffmeister said the movies have no set start time and will begin at dusk. “The movie series is a unique one. It’s kind of serene. The tree cover provides more darkness. That kind of helps it be its own little theater,” he said. Families are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic dinners to the movies. Concessions will be available on site. For more information, visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/parks.

Calvary: Ambitious but good Commentary by Collin Stroup

I love movies that divide audiences. Walking out of a theater and hearing people loving and hating a film just goes to show movies you how many perspectives people can have when watching something. “Calvary” seems to be one of those movies and after really thinking on it, I found myself on the side of loving it. The story follows Father James, Brendan Gleeson, a good priest in a small, modern day Irish town that receives a death threat during confession. Despite such a dramatic plot, “Calvary” has a terrific sense of dark humor woven throughout the story, relieving you from some of the heavier topics discussed throughout the film. One of the things that impressed me most though was its confidence in its audience’s intelligence. Too often I find movies leading you along and basically handing you the ending 30 minutes in. It was highly refreshing to see a movie offer up every clue so subtly and leaving it up to you to piece it together. The ending might seem a little ambiguous, but if you pay close attention, the meaning behind it is very intentional and clear. Gleeson delivers a fully rounded character who is likeable and strong, but finds real moments of vulnerability that make him so believable. Alongside him were some truly standout performances, particularly from David Moran who plays Michael Fitzgerald, a rich banker completely

disconnected from reality. Although this movie has a cynical shroud covering much of it, “Calvary” at its core is a positive film that challenges you to think and dig a bit deeper to find the true messages and meanings. It’s very unique and if you want something a bit different from your usual summer movie, I highly recommend it. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year.

DIY pizza shop now open in Carmel HAVE YOU TAKEN THE

#31BITES PLEDGE?

THERE IS STILL TIME... Grab a bite to eat or shop along U.S. 31 and get your cool, fashionable and free wristband.

THE ROAD MAY BE CLOSED, BUT BUSINESSES ARE OPEN.

By Dawn Pearson Faster then a speeding tomato, more powerful than a flying pepperoni … what is it? It’s Blaze Pizza now open in Carmel! now open The new 55-plus-seat, fast-casual restaurant, 12697 N. Pennsylvania St., across from the Meijer shopping center, allows guests to create their own custom, artisanal pizzas at lighting fast speed, all for just $6.95 each with their pizzasmiths and an open-flame pizza oven. “The generously sized 11-inch personal pizzas are then sent to a blazing hot open-flame oven – the centerpiece of the restaurant – where dedicated pizzasmiths ensure that the thin-crust pies are ‘fast-fire’d’ in fewer than 180 seconds,” Executive Chef Brad Kent stated. (They call Kent The Pizza Whisperer.) “Each restaurant makes its own dough from scratch which requires a 24-hour fermentation period to produce his signature light-as-air, crisp crust.” Blaze Pizza’s menu also features signature salads, fresh lemonades and house-made “S’more Pies.” For pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers a gluten-free dough and vegan cheese. The restaurant features outdoor patio seating, a selection of wine and craft beer, and online ordering. “The Carmel community loves pizza, but they really haven’t had a good way to enjoy a quality pie without the wait,” Kent said. “Blaze Pizza is

all about letting folks enjoy custom-built artisanal pizzas at crazy fast speed. It’s a concept I’m thrilled to lend my expertise to.” According to Joshua Levitt, of Morgan Marketing & Public Relations, Carmel has been on their list of new markets for Blaze Pizza. “Actually, under our partnership with Blaze, we’ve been looking at Carmel for quite some time and were very pleased to be able to lease the space near Meijer,” Levitt said. “Carmel has everything that we look for in a choice location, business, residential and a very strong community.”

Prices up, inventory still tight Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $175,566 in July 2014, home sales prices are up 6.5 percent compared to July 2013. REAL ESTATE Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first seven months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County is among the areas that reported gains with an average sales price of $265,650, an increase of 6.7 percent compared to the same time period last year. • The average sales price in Carmel continues to trend upward. Year to date, homes sold for $340,876, rising 7.1 percent compared to the first seven months of 2013. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 21 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 37 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 38 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 36 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced at $99,999

or less. • Homebuyers in Carmel are acting fast. In July 2014, homes stayed on the market an average of 66 days – 12 fewer days than July 2013. • Inventory remains tight. Last month, 591 homes were on the market compared to 600 homes in July 2013. • Pended home sales are down in Carmel. In July 2014, 137 homes pended which is a decrease of 53 homes compared to July of last year. Last year’s sales were historic – the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history – as the market continued its recovery from the economic downturn. Though this year’s sales appear less dramatic, they are still solid and signal that progress will likely be more subtle moving forward.

DISPATCHES Higher education - You’ve advanced on the job, but you think that finishing or enhancing your college degree would help you go further. Or maybe you were laid off and are seeking skills for a new career. No matter the reason, if returning to school is on your horizon, you’re not alone. There are nearly nine million college students who are 25 and older, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. They represented 42 percent of all students in 2011, up from only 28 percent in 1970. If you’re considering a return to college to finish a degree or enhance your skills, the Indiana CPA Society offers ideas and tips to help get you on your way: 1. Consider the value - If you’re not sure whether or not more school is worth your time and money, the answer is usually a resounding yes. Recent college graduates who work full time made roughly $17,500 more than employed young adults with only a high school diploma, according to a Pew Research Center study. 2. File your FAFSA - The first step to being considered for financial aid is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA. It’s used by most colleges to determine eligibility for financial aid. 3. Scrutinize subsidies and scholarships - Fed-

eral student loan programs, such as Stafford loans for students enrolled at least half time, are open to students of any age. And since you are most likely not dependent on your parents, you may be able to qualify for a higher Stafford loan amount.

Meals to your door in one hour By Kristen Yates • news@currentincarmel.com From Cajun to Italian, or a simple burger and fries, if you can think of it Order-In will deliver it to your home, place of work, now open or even cater your next event. Owner, Tom Ganser, spent 25 years in the waste management business until the economy took a turn for the worst. Looking for something new, he came across the idea for a business that brings food to the customer, and ended up incorporating several restaurants into one delivery system. Order-In was established in 2010 starting with only four restaurants on the menu. Now with over 60 restaurant partnerships business is booming and the orders keep coming in. “It’s convenient and the customers keep coming back for more. For our business we focus mainly on the service, with great communication between the restaurant, my servers, and the customers, our business continues to grow,” Ganser said. So here’s out it works. With Order-In restaurants that typically don’t offer delivery, or only offer it within a certain area, can deliver fresh, hot food in a matter of one hour. First, orderers pick which restaurant they want to order from. The master list is kept on its website. Then they can either order straight from the website, or can call their number. Next, Order-In places the order with the restaurant the ordered desires.

They pick it up when it’s ready and then deliver it straight in a climate-controlled container. As if that wasn’t convenient enough, they are now adding dry cleaning to their long list of delivery services. If someone need those pants dry cleaned before the weekend, but can’t get there in time, no worries. Order-In offers next day delivery on all dry cleaning services. “I love what I do, and I love serving the customer. Now, we are looking to expand to the Indianapolis Metropolitan area by early 2015,” Ganser said.

When you consider that almost one out of every three patients that enters an emergency room is there as a result of an wellness accident, it’s clear that first aid is a necessary skill that every adult and adolescent should possess. It’s unfortunate, but our society could do much better in its understanding of how to respond to an emergency. With today’s information technology, a lot of people feel they can simply look up an emergency procedure when they need it. That may be too late. Nationally, 38 million people a year go to emergency rooms after accidents due to accidents; that’s approximately 30 percent of all ER visits. The more we can reduce that number with simple preventive steps, the better. The most common reasons for these ER visits in the summer and early autumn are firework injuries, pool accidents and car accidents, but with the nicer weather also comes an increased number of bone injuries from sports, bicycles and trampolines, among other things. When you look at who gets injured in accidents, really there are two groups that are most susceptible: the very old and the very young. With the older folks, it’s usually a result of falls. And with the younger folks, from the ages of 1 to 21, the data shows that unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death. So it’s important

for parents and caregivers to know the basics of first aid and accident prevention. Looking specifically at outdoor activities for kids, a few things that can be done to help prevent accidents include: When bicycling, wear a helmet flat on top of the head, not tilted back, with the chinstrap firmly buckled. When at a playground, make sure children are playing on cushioned ground, such as sand, shredded mulch or soft synthetic materials. Improper surfacing accounts for more than 70 percent of incidents involving children who fall at playgrounds. Do not dress children in clothes that have strings. Those can cause strangulation. Actively parent. Teach children safe play rules and intervene when necessary. Swings are great, but children need to be taught to keep a safer-than-you-think distance from them. Swings are the moving equipment most likely to cause injury. If you feel a situation is a medical emergency, you should never hesitate to call 911 or go to an ER. But the more you know before that visit occurs, the better prepared you’ll be to assist in a positive outcome.

Decorating against the norm Commentary by Vicky Earley There comes a time in decorating stream of awareness when there is the realization that just because it has always been that way, it does not mean that it has to decorating be that way always. My defining moment for breaking the traditional gold standards of the way it always is, was when I decided to eschew a traditional headboard for my daughters bed in exchange for anchoring it with a white picket fence gate. This wild and carefree dismissal of the norm received mixed reviews in the ’80s. My best friend thought it was brilliant and ran out to copy the garden-esque room for her little girl. My mother in law thought it placed me on the other side of the tracks, so to speak. My offbeat pursuit of the unconventional ensued and rather than ditch the picket fence garden gate headboard, I ditched the mother-in-law. That gate would be tame today in terms of the creative branch upon which we have thankfully crawled. The unique is now celebrated with postings on Pinterest and Houzz. When an unusual approach works, it is not just copied by a best friend; it is stored for posterity in digital scrapbooks, lest it be forgotten. When it comes to your home, your safe place, your sanctuary, be true to yourself. Be authentic. Trends come and go as a way to sell product.

They come in like an ocean wave and they are as temporary as an ocean wave. The only thing constant about a trend is the knowledge that it will change. It is incredibly easy to get caught up in decorating trends. Magazines and websites are ripe with beautifully appointed rooms that lead the observer to believe that it is the trend that has created the beauty. In reality, it is the fact that the room is well appointed with the basics of good design and paired with a dusting of different color combinations or a different mood. While Houzz and Pinterest are ripe with ideas that challenge the way it has always been done, there is an art to pulling it off. Just doing the avant-garde for the sake of avant-garde will not guarantee a room that turns heads.

Temple at Arad, including Altar and Holy of Holies. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Arad: Honoring God’s wife?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Arad was an ancient Canaanite city lying in the south of modern Israel, between the Negev and the Judean wilderness. Welltravel preserved ruins of the city, now a national park, go back to about 2600 B.C. The Arad ruins are most famous for their suggestion that Jewish residents of ancient Israel worshipped both God and his wife. According to the Bible, Moses initially tried to lead the Israelites into their promised land in Canaan from the south, through the area around Arad. The Canaanite King of Arad aggressively resisted their entry, capturing some prisoners. Because of this interference with what they saw as God’s mandate for their occupation of the land, the Israelites promised God that if he allowed them to enter Canaan they would destroy the Canaanites and their cities. When the Israelites eventually entered Canaan from the east, crossing the Jordan River just north of the Dead Sea, they proceeded to do precisely that, starting in Jericho. In about 1200 B.C., the Israelites built a fortress at Arad near the original Canaanite city. In 1962, archeologists unearthed a temple within the fortress, dating to the time of King Solomon and

built to honor Yahweh, the invisible God of the Israelites. Because the temple in Jerusalem has not been found, this is the only Jewish temple from the Biblical period ever uncovered. Like the Jerusalem temple described in the Bible, the Arad temple had a large altar of undressed stones in the courtyard. Like the temple in Jerusalem, the Arad temple had a Holy of Holies surrounding a four-horned altar for honoring Yahweh once year by burning incense. But unlike the temple in Jerusalem, the Arad temple encompassed a second incense burner, smaller than the first. Arad’s Holy of Holies also included two standing stones, apparently representing two deities. Scholars believe Arad’s second incense burner and second standing stone probably honored Asherah, the wife of the supreme Canaanite god “El” whose name is reflected in many Jewish names, including Israel. The Israelites could destroy the Canaanite cities. They could not so easily destroy the Canaanite belief that every god needs a wife.

Lush landscaping adds drama outdoors to the elegant, mortared limestone walls that knits multiple terraced blue stone patios, a lanais centric fireplace and mature pool into an incredible outdoor living space. What a huge responsibility. “Sense of wonder” Exposed aggregate walks were rescued by elevating their significance with blue stone inserts in an effort to “fuse” several surfaces together and to be earth friendly. Why not? It offered several thousands of dollars in efficiencies and looks fantastic. The path is a sense of wonder and prompts a curious stroll towards a secluded patio tucked off a master bedroom private entrance. The formality of the Williams Creek home commanded double knock out roses with crisp boxwood hedges and thick borders of big blue liriope … so, that’s precisely what we designed and installed. Shady pockets allowed ornamental dogwood and redbud tree inserts to offer hints of interior bulk and spring inspiration. This created the appropriate separation between the lanais, fireplace, pool and grill station patios. Tradition. Value.

Ways to store, showcase wine collection Commentary by David Decker In 2014, the U.S. officially became the No. 1 consumer of wine in the world. As wine drinking becomes more popular, INdoors homeowners are looking for new ways to store and display their tasty collections. From custom racks, to cubbies to chillers, there are a number of ways to keep your wine fresher, while adding a touch of style to the room. Wine is a very delicate beverage when it comes to storage. It needs to be kept in a temperate, slightly humid location so that the taste and freshness is preserved. Store wine in a space that gets too warm or too cold, and the whole bottle may spoil. Also, if wine is stored in an area that’s too dry, the cork can get damaged and allow air to seep into the bottle. A little bit of humidity is key when storing wine, so that the cork remains intact. With such a sensitive product, it’s important to keep all of these factors in mind when selecting a storage solution for wine. Once you’ve selected a space in your home with the right humidity and temperature, it’s time to figure out what kind of structure you want to use to physically store the wine. Wine racks can now be built directly into cabinetry, causing many homeowners to designate a spot in their kitchen or bar to store wine. You could also choose to install latticework racks or a series of cubbies underneath a counter or

alongside the cabinets. Either way, these cubbies will store your wine vertically and protect the bottles. Wine can also be elegantly stored on custom wall shelves or racks. Many of these

racks can be creatively designed and can act as a wall accent as well as a storage unit. If you are an enthusiast who serves wine often, you may want to invest in a wine refrigerator or chiller. Wine refrigerators can even be placed underneath countertops or hidden behind a cabinet door to save space. If you are planning on hosting wine tastings or parties, you could even place miniature wine refrigerators or racks underneath a kitchen island and design your own custom wine-serving center. For the most dedicated wine lovers, a refrigerator may not be large or technical enough to store their wine collection. If that is the case, you may consider constructing a wine closet. In a wine closet, the light, temperature and humidity can all be controlled to protect the wine stored inside. Convert an old kitchen pantry or storage closet and store wine like a real sommelier (that’s a fancy name for a wine expert in the restaurant business). They say great wine (like great people) improve with age. Proper storage accommodations will help your wine stay fresh and tasting delicious, as the vintage matures. Happy tasting!

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.
