A group of Carmel High School students who organize the annual Carmel Pride event are among 50 nationwide re cipients of $10,000 grants to fund projects that empower LGBTQ+ students. The Carmel students plan to use the grant to cover costs for the third annual Carmel Pride, which is expected to be held on a Sunday in June 2023. “We’ll use that money to do things like hire queer performers in our area. We’ll use it to get materials for setup such as tables and chairs for people to use. We’ll use it to rent a stage for Carter Green where we have (the event annually), and print out fli ers for the event,” said Marielle Cortelyou, a CHS senior who applied for the grant. The grant, part of the 50 States. 50 Grants. 5000 Voices initiative, was awarded by the It Gets Better Project, a nonprofit that aims to “uplift, empower, and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth around the globe,” according to its website. The It Gets Better Project awarded 50 grants in 40 states plus Wash ington, D.C., including in “many traditionally conservative areas,” its website states. Grant funds came from American Eagle

CHS students receive grant to fund Carmel Pride WoodwardFUNDINGEDUCATION

CCS Supt. Michael Beresford said school districts have “wrestled with this issue for years” and that he knows it could be a difficult change, especially for students and parents with traditions that include eating lunch together at school. However, he be lieves the benefits are worth it.

• Inadvertently sharing a food item with a student allergic to it

“Percentage-wise, there probably won’t ever be a problem, but if there is a problem it’s going to be a really bad problem,” Beres ford said. “It’s going to be something where we question ourselves and say, ‘Why didn’t we do all we could to restrict the access in thatThesetting?’”schoolboard will vote on the pro posed changes to the handbook at a future meeting.

• Walking hallways unsupervised or using restrooms open to children

Outfitters through customer donations and in-store pin-pad promotions during Pride Month in According2021.to the It Gets Better website, the grants are to support “school-based projects empowering LGBTQ+ students.” Its website lists Carmel High School as the re cipient for AccordingIndiana.toEmily Bauer, Carmel Clay Schools director of community relations, CHS students applied for and won the grant individually.“CHSdidnot apply, nor receive, the grants directly,” Bauer stated, adding that Carmel Pride is not sponsored by CCS or CHS. Cortelyou, who has helped coordinate Carmel Pride since it launched in 2020, said members of the event planning team were thrilled to learn they had received a grant, which she said they “didn’t expect to win.” “Carmel Pride was started by high school ers, and obviously high schoolers don’t have any large sums of money to put into an event like this,” Cortelyou said. “In years past, we’ve really relied on sponsorships and other things like that, and merchandise we sell to make back any money we had (spent), so I think it’s really going to help us to have the Accordinggrant.”tothe project website, other projects to receive grants through the pro gram include “a gender-affirming closet to help trans students access clothing that fits their true selves” in Oakland, Calif.; re modeling of single-gender lavatories to be come gender-neutral bathrooms at a school in Telluride, Colo.; and a regionwide Queer Youth Conference in south Texas.

“These are not common instances, but they’re enough that our administrators overwhelmingly agreed that restricting lunch visitation creates a safer environment for our students,” Woodward said.

A pandemic-inspired rule prohibiting par ents and other guests from visiting Carmel Clay Schools students in lunchrooms and at re cess could soon become permanent.Therule, first implemented in 2020, was initially intended to decrease the chances of COVID-19 being introduced or spread on school campuses. But as district adminis trators discussed how to handle remaining pandemic-related procedures, they agreed keeping visitors out of crowded, less-struc tured areas with limited resources to super vise guests would promote student safety.

CCPR presented three initial themes for the park: Touchstone to Past Stories, Landscape Forward and Framework. The first round of public input helped to narrow options.“There was a strong preference shown for Option 1, Touchstone to Past Stories and Option 2, Landscape Forward (very little deviation between Option 1 and 2) and there was a clear dislike of Option 3, Framework,” Riches said. “The top three desired uses of the park were nature observation and wild life viewing, walking and running/jogging.”

“Due to the site conditions, there is very little development that can be done on the site,” said Jylian Riches, CCPR marketing and communications director. “Additionally, the landscape and natural history of the site is unique — both locally and to central Indiana. These factors, along with the gen eral need/desire for greenspace in Carmel, led to the idea of a nature park.”

CCPREDUCATION of September,” Riches said. “Once that is closed, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and (planning firm) MKSK will review the feed back and refine the park concept further. That concept, along with all the data gath ered throughout the public input process, will be presented to the Carmel Clay Board of Parks and Recreation. Once approved, the master plan will be used to guide the development of the park. Once funding for the park is secured and development moves forward, there will be additional meetings for the community and focus groups to give feedback about particular areas of the park, amenities, etc. It will likely be two to five years before CCPR begins developing Thom as Marcuccilli Nature Park.” The online survey is available at formstack.com/forms/nature_park_survey.ccpr.

He qualified for the national meet in the shot put and discus at the state and regional meet. He won the discus at the regional. He placed 21st in the shot put at the national meet.“Focusing on the lifts and dialing in on proper technique cues throughout the throw, also focusing on explosiveness, was a huge part of my success,” Franklin said. Prior to the summer, Franklin’s best dis cus toss was 161-1. His throw of 177-8 was farther than the IHSAA state championship winning distance of 169-5 in 2022. Franklin has set his sights on winning a state title in the spring, his father Andrew Franklin said. Franklin, who has been throwing since sixth grade, was introduced to the event by his older sister, Alyse. A 2021 CHS graduate, Alyse competed in shot put and discus throughout middle school and high school. She was introduced to it by a neighbor, Jeff Carter, who was the Clay Middle School throwing coach. “Then being a little brother, Drew had to beat her at it, so he started throwing when he went to middle school,” Andrew Franklin said.Alyse is on the Indiana University rowing team. She earned a partial scholarship for this season. Drew Franklin finished third in discus in the na tional meet. (Photo courtesy of Andrew Franklin)

After a disappointing end to his junior track and field high school season, an atti tude adjustment was in order for thrower Drew Franklin. “Honestly, my biggest im provement has been my attitude toward the sport, as before I wasn’t taking it seriously enough,” the Carmel High School senior said. “As soon as I started to put in the real work, I started seeing real results.”

Franklin finished 10th in the discus in the Carmel Sectional with a throw of 127 feet, 11 inches. He was fourth in the shot put in the sectional. He qualified for the regional but then placed 10th in the Lafayette Jefferson Regional meet.

A Carmel Police Dept. officer resigned Aug. 18 after being charged with identity deception in ClayAccordingCounty. to a probable cause affidavit, Andrew Longyear, who be gan working for CPD in June 2021, is accused of creating a Facebook account using a name similar to a man he was unacquainted with in Georgia and using the man’s photos on the fake account. Longyear allegedly used the fake account to post damaging information about Josh Clarke, a candidate for sheriff in Clay Coun ty, in the Brazil Chatter Facebook group in advance of the primary election in May. The victim in Georgia contacted the Indiana State Police, who investigated and deter mined that the Facebook posts had come from Longyear’s phone. During an interview with ISP, Longyear, a Fishers resident, admitted that he created the account years ago and used it to re main anonymous on Facebook, according to the affidavit. He told investigators that he copied photos from the victim’s Facebook account to his account and admitted to posting the comments about Clarke. According to the affidavit, Longyear told investigators that information he shared about Clarke on Facebook was his opinion based on fact. The posts accused Clarke of “kicking the chair and making inappropriate comments to another subordinate officer,” “getting an all-expenses paid Hawaiian va cation on Clay County taxpayers” and “being the main reason that several deputies have left the department,” among other things.

Dr. Michael McCarthy and Dr. Paul Krae mer, both partners of Carmel-based Indiana Spine Group, along with Macadaeg, founded The Scoliosis Project earlier this year to improve the spine health of children and adults in underserved nations where it is difficult to have access to medical care, let alone spine care. The goal is to bring patients with complex spinal deformities to the U.S. to have surgery. In November, a young boy from Guatemala will have sur gery at Indiana Spine Hospital in Carmel. McCarthy said a lot of nurses have volun teered to assist with the surgery. McCarthy said the project’s plan is for a doctor to perform spine surgeries in Gua temala or eventually in other underserved countries. Then the more complex surgeries would be performed in the U.S. Sandra Hau go is the director of the project.

McCarthy said he and Kraemer began dis cussing the project during the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This was near and dear to Paul’s heart, too,” McCarthy said. “Sandra has been in strumental in being the engine behind it as far as getting it pushed through and getting things set McCarthyup.”said the group needed some funds to launch The Scoliosis Project. “We brought it up at a business meeting, and Kevin loved it,” McCarthy said. “He felt the way Cruise Indy was growing, it could support both these projects going forward.”

Dr. Kevin Macadaeg founded Cruise Indy in 2019 because of his love of cars and the Woodward Dream Cruise in his hometown of Pon tiac, Mich.

The first two Cruise Indy events support ed Folds of Honor, which provides scholar ships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. The third Cruise Indy event, which features a Sept. 17 car show and ride through Carmel, will continue to benefit Folds of Honor along with The Scoliosis Project of Indiana.

“The goal of the program is to prevent isolation and create community,” said Vicki Burdick, director of marketing and events for Shepherd Center. “Many of our seniors live in Carmel, so this is a great option for them if they don’t want to drive to another location.”Noblesville residents Kurt, 76, and Linda Lintelman, 74, have been attending Together Today for nearly two years.

“It changed our lives,” Linda Lintelman said. “There really aren’t many other places to meet people at our age. I was nervous the first time going, but everyone was so nice, and I have nothing but good things to say about Shepherd’s Center and Together Today. It’s the best part of the week.”

Researchers reviewed 2,845 vehicle crashes in Carmel, a type of incident not instigated by police or affected by race, to determine the demographics of drivers on Carmel roads. The study found that twothirds of drivers in Carmel are not Carmel residents, meaning census data isn’t a valid benchmark to compare against demograph ics of those pulled over, and that 12.5 per cent of Carmel drivers are Black.

Yearlong study finds ‘no evidence’ Carmel PD traffic stops, arrests racially motivated

The study also compared vehicle stops made during daylight hours, when it was easier for officers to determine the driver’s race, with those made during hours of darkness. Researchers concluded that Black drivers were “significantly less likely” to be stopped during daylight hours than expect ed, and during darkness the proportion of Black drivers stopped increased by 4 to 12.1 percent, depending on the patrol district.

The report found “evidence to suggest a small degree of hesitancy on the part of officers to stop African-American males.”

Although the report found that CPD did not discriminate against most demographic groups, it found evidence that female driv ers were disproportionately more likely to be stopped during daylight hours in five of the city’s six patrol districts. After being stopped, however, females either were shown more leniency or treated equally to male drivers in receiving citations. Barlow said he hasn’t done additional research into why females are pulled over more during daylight hours, but he said it may be because there may be more moth ers out with children during the day than at other times. The report, however, states that only one of the city’s six districts re vealed a statistically significant difference in female driving patterns from daylight to darkness.Asforthe finding that females receive citations less often than males, Barlow said, anecdotally, in his experience, females are less likely to drive dangerously than their male counterparts, which could lead to the disparity.Communities

The Dolan Consulting Group, which provides training and other support services for po lice and public safety officers nationwide, analyzed data gathered on 19,349 vehicle stops, 24,872 citations and 1,351 criminal arrests that occurred between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, to build its report.

I would assume it’s a natural tendency for all officers, even our officers of color.” Deputy Chief Brady Myers agreed. “Police officers are not different than most humans. Most of us avoid conflict where we can,” he said. “If there’s an op portunity to avoid some level of discomfort, some level of being painted with a broad brush based on a narrative that’s out there right now, I can see how our officers would respond to that by making less traffic stops.”

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

A report commissioned by the Carmel Po lice Dept. in response to public claims that it targets Black drivers when making traffic stops concluded that such is not the case and that — to a slight degree — the opposite may be Accordingtrue. to the 203-page report com piled for $45,000 by North Carolina-based Dolan Consulting Group, researchers “found no evidence of a pattern or practice by members of the Carmel Police Dept. (tar geting) persons of color for vehicle stops, citations, or arrests.”

CPD publicly initiated the review after WISH-TV broadcast a story in 2019 that claimed Black drivers receive more than 33 percent of traffic tickets, according to state court documents, but make up only 2.5 percent of the population, according to U.S. Census data. The story echoed others in past years that accused CPD of racial dis crimination and reinforced a perception held by many residents of Carmel and surround ingThecommunities.reportstates that the methodologies used by the TV station, which Barlow de scribed as “lazy math,” did not accurately reflect the demographics of Carmel drivers.

The report concluded that “it proved impossible” for researchers to separate traf fic-only stops from criminal investigative stops, so researchers used demographics of crash-involved drivers and demographics of the criminal popula tion — determined by 2,236 criminal suspect descriptions from wit nesses or victims of crime — as benchmark boundaries “with the assumption that the true (unknown) bench mark” for a mixed sample of traffic-only and criminal investigative stops would rest somewhere in between. Witnesses and victims reported suspects as Black in nearly 35 percent of cases reviewed.

“The report shows that we’re not perfect, but we’re doing the right things for the right reasons,” Barlow said.

Barlow said that officers don’t want to be seen as being discriminatory, which may have led to the discrepancy.“Officersare frus trated, and they get tired of being called a racist,” he said. “I think it’s a natural tendency to think, ‘Oh no, if I stop another African American, then does it look like I’m a racist?’

CPD Chief Jim Barlow said the report supported what he always believed to be true, but he wanted an independent organization to take a closer look.

Female drivers were stopped more often than expected during daylight hours in Adam District (10 extra stops per month), Baker District (eight extra stops per month), Charles District (27 extra stops per month), David District (13 extra stops per month) and Frank District (10 extra stops per month)

Continued from Page 18 Barlow said he doesn’t expect CPD to make any major changes as a result of the report, but he said he hopes it will help shift public perception about an issue that’s “al ways been a point of attack” since he joined the department nearly 40 years ago.

“This was a good tool to tell us where we’re at.”CPD plans to post the full report to its website at departments-services/police.carmel.in.gov/government/

A re port such as this invokes the replacement of assumptions with facts, which is a posi tive step in the right direction for all parties involved,” the statement reads. “We would like to see a continuation of these studies and monitoring of data to ensure accuracy and transparency moving forward. Non-bi ased third parties conducting these types of studies, without officers knowing they are happening, ensures a greater under standing of the patterns of CPD.”

We are not our brother’s keeper. We are not responsible for the actions, or reactions, of others. At least, that’s been the accepted standard in most interpersonal communication. Sure, we come to understand very early in life that certain behaviors are prone to get certain responses. We complain to Mom of our hunger, and we might get a grilled-cheese sandwich. We take a toy from our older sibling, and we are likely to be greeted with a knuckle sandwich. So, we come to invest deeply in un derstanding the peccadillos of those around us. Thomas does not like to be called Tom. And talking football with Sue will invariably lead to an argument – she seems to like the debate more than the game. To get along and build social cohesion, we adjust to these unspoken variations. Most often, we learn that ad aptation is more efficient than absolute egalitarianism. Sure, we want to treat everybody the same, but it is so dang hard to do. OK, what is our affirmative require ment to accommodate others? Do we have to predict what might be their hidden hot button? Is it ever appropriate to believe that we get a pass because a perceived slight was unintended? Didn’t even occur to us? In living our lives outside of myriad potential landmines when interacting interpersonally, if we simply try to treat people the same and respectfully, do they have the right to criticize us as insensitive? Are we say ing that they don’t matter enough to cross our mind, or are we innocently ex pecting them to assert their own needs rather than trying to predict them? Maybe it depends on how close we are to the person. Should we be expected to know the barista as well as our chil dren? Should they demand it from us?

• Did you know that despite opposition from medical professionals, hundreds of businesses, and thousands of Hoo siers across the state, Jerry Torr voted in support of SB 1, one of the most re strictive abortion laws in the country? Additionally, he opposed an amend ment that would have allowed voters to decide on this issue in November. Jerry Torr has been in office since 1996. It’s time for someone new, someone who is going to listen to the people they are elect ed to represent.

VIEWS

Editor, On Aug. 13, I attended a public meeting with our representative in Congress, Victo ria Spartz. In addressing the recent search of an ex-president’s property by the FBI, she likened it to something that happens in a “police state” and equated the FBI with the KGB.These comments came after visiting the ex-president the day after the search and publicly stating that she stands with him, after days of threats of violence against the FBI and the Dept. of Justice, and after an actual attack on an FBI office in Ohio. For a member of Congress to make such reckless, inflammatory comments in this context is grossly irresponsible. She could have taken a measured ap proach in support of the rule of law and the rights and responsibilities of all citizens, including ex-presidents, consistent with her oath of office to support and defend the Constitution.Whileevery American has the right to express their beliefs, elected officials should be held to the higher standard they signed up for when they took the oath. I call on Rep. Spartz to publicly apologize for her remarks and to reaffirm her promise to defend the Constitution and the values it enshrines. Otherwise, I encourage all voters of good faith to unite in holding her to that higher standard in November.

• Did you know that despite opposition from Carmel Clay Schools, one of the best school districts in the state, Jerry Torr voted in support of HB 1005, which expanded an already robust voucher system in favor of private schools, de creasing public school funding?

New parents are thrilled when their baby makes its first word sounds, but it has prob ably responded to their words much earlier. Playing word games is a longstanding pastime — crossword puzzles and now Wordle, plus several others. The board game, Scrabble, is a great way to encourage children to learn new words. I’m fascinated with how short, one-syllable words connect with long, five-syllable words: praise/appreciation, work/opportunity.

PLAIN TALK

Imagine the confusion of learning anoth er language, such as English. Some words have two meanings: freeze could mean be low 32 degrees or stop where you are. Then there are the “bad words,” the ones we were told not to say as a child. There are also the special words and phrases, “I love you,” “will you marry me,” “you have won.” And the sad words: “I’m sorry, your _____ was killed,” “you have cancer,” “there was an accident.”

The beauty of words

There is a theory that the unborn fetus responds to words before birth. Perhaps, but how would we know? Dementia pa tients sometimes lose their ability to con nect with words (my mother didn’t respond or speak the last couple of years of her life).

Life without words would be a blank. Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.

Sauder said Element Three works with companies in transition or experiencing high growth, acquisition, divestiture, prod uct launch and new market entry. “We help them transform their brands and generate demand,” Sauder said. “We moved toward running strategic marketing pro grams and less one-off programs for clients. We are wanting to help build sustainable value. We excel in the integration of strat egies on what is going to help companies win, creating alongside them and helping them execute that.”

Sauder started a twice-weekly podcast called “Scared Confident” approximately 18 months ago. “The purpose is to help two-career fami lies better navigate the complexity of what it is like for both members of a marriage to have really big dreams for their career,” Sauder said. “At 42 now, I’ve kind of created a resource that I wish I had as a young woman and young mom and wife trying to figure out what that looked like and to make all those dreams happen. I really ap preciate Karrah bringing attention to wom en that have chosen to build something sustainable and lasting that really gives back to the community and creates an awe some place for employees.”

Three promising companies are:

The podcast is a personal project to help other young women with similar dreams in their hearts, Sauder said.

• Exact Sciences (EXAS) had nearly $900 million in total revenues last year, mostly from two products — Cologuard, an alternative to colonoscopies that screens stool samples for colon cancer, and Oncotype Dx, a genomic test that can predict which women with ear ly-stage breast cancer will not benefit from chemotherapy.

Carmel-based Element Three was recently honored as one of 22 busi nesses in the inaugural Hoosier Busi ness in Action cohort, an effort organized by Indiana’s Office of Equity, Inclusion and Opportunity. Each business represents part of a historically underrepresented population of either minority, women, veterans or indi viduals with disability ownership.

Stocks benefit from cancer test breakthroughs — Amid the race to develop coro navirus tests, vaccines and treatments, many investors might overlook another realm of impressive medical breakthroughs. Molecular diagnostic firms are developing innovative blood tests that can detect many forms of cancer, some even at the earliest stages before cancerous cells mass together. In the past five years, genomic blood testing has become a $6 billion-ayear market, mostly driven by tests such as “liquid biopsies.”Over the next decade, the diagnostics market is expected to soar to more than $50 billion annually as compa nies develop early-detection tests to screen asymptomatic patients for cancers.

Element Three has 45 employees. “We are much versed in using a really rich network of outside resources to help complement our own internal talents,” Sauder said.

“I think they were trying to show there is a robust number of businesses that are owned by women and people of color and people that have more diverse demograph ics,” said Sauder, a Zionsville resident. “In the Midwest, there is not a lot of diversity in business owners. When you are a mom and want to have a big career, that can be a little challenging to pull together.”

WILLOW HAVEN By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Miles, owner and president of Willow Ha ven Senior Homes, plans to open a memory care home called Willow Haven Memory Care at Crooked Stick in the spring of 2023 at 2080 W. 106th St. in Carmel. The property backs up to the 13th hole of Crooked Stick Golf Club. The farm, near Allentown, Pa., where Miles’ father was raised, was named Willow Haven.

“My grandmother had Alzheimer’s (dis ease) as well, so I saw her go through that process,” said Miles, who lives in north Indianapolis. “When she went through it, it was in a nursing home. Most assisted living homes didn’t have memory care wings. Now they have memory care wings, but they are cordoned off or locked down. This home is being designed specifically with memory care in Milesmind.”saidhis architect designer, Mary land-based JSR Associates, is on national boards for designing memory care homes. There will be circadian lighting that helps those with Sundowner’s syndrome, or latedayTheconfusion.floordesign is such that there are very few hazards for tripping, Miles said.

The plan is for 10 private bedrooms and bathrooms.“Iplanon having multiple homes through out the northern Indianapolis area, maybe not all in Carmel but on the northside,” Miles said.Miles said staff will include an operations manager, two daytime caregivers, one over night caregiver and a chef for menu plan ning. There will be a common dining area and kitchen area. For more, visit willowhavenseniorhomes. com. Willow Haven Memory Care at Crooked Stick is set to open at 2080 W. 106th St. in Carmel in 2023.

CONCERT

Trepp, a tenor, has been a member of the professional version of Straight No Chaser since 2009, shortly after it formed. “Everybody in the group was in the col legiate version at some point in their col lege career,” said Trepp, who lives in Tulsa, Okla. “There are five members from the original group that started in 1996. Then there are four of us who went to Indiana and were members of the collegiate group there.”Straight No Chaser will perform Sept. 16 at The Center Celebration 2022 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. The group is celebrating its 25th an niversaryStraightseason.NoChaser was supposed to appear in 2020 but The Center Celebration was canceled that year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was decided not to have the group appear in 2021 because the show was“Thisvirtual.isour last makeup show from 2020,” Trepp said. “Saving the best for last. We’ve definitely been looking forward to it. We love any show we can do in Indiana. Those are our people.” After the show, Straight No Chaser will be inducted into the Great American Song book Hall of Fame. “To get any award is an honor,” Trepp said. “This one is really special because of who else has been inducted into it. To be among some of those names is really special. We’re very humbled and very honored.”

‘THE MUSIC OF PATSY CLINE’

‘SHIPWRECKED!: AN ENTERTAINMENT’

Trepp said with such a large repertoire, it is easy to draw from different setlists. After graduating from IU in 2007, Trepp performed with the a cappella group, Oceans Four, on cruise ships for two years.“Music was a big part of my life growing up,” he said. “I would listen to The Blend ers, an a cappella group from the Midwest. I would listen to groups that have great harmonies like The Beach Boys. I fell in love with the vocal harmony.”

Straight No Chaser to headline The Center Celebration at Palladium

Tyler Trepp specifically chose to at tend Indiana University to participate in Straight No Chaser. Trepp, who is from Ur bandale, Iowa, had always been interested in a cappella groups and heard of Straight No Chaser’s reputation. “I auditioned for the collegiate version of the group when I was still a senior in high school,” he said. “It’s crazy that I’m doing it for a living now.”

Judy Fitzgerald will perform “Walkin’ After Midnight: The Music of Patsy Cline” at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 31 at Feinstein’s cabaret at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. For more, visit fein steinshc.com.

Trepp said there are two special mo ments in the concert for him. “The beginning when we step out and see the crowd,” Trepp said. “That to me as a performer is a feeling you can’t really describe. It’s something that hits you right in the heart. Then the final moment of the show we usually do an off-mic number where we stand in front of the stage and sing a song without microphones. It’s kind of a cool effect for people to hear that. We change that song from time to time.”

The Fishers Blues Fest will have a special theme. The two-day free festival, set for Sept. 2-3, will feature a Ladies in Blues lineup Sept. 3 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers. There will be four female performers with the headliner being Joanna Connor from Chicago.“Sheis called the Queen of Blues and she is great,” said Marissa Deckert, assistant di rector for the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. “We had her booked last year and it got rained out (the second night) and she wasn’t able to play, so we’re really excited.” This is Connor’s first appearance in the Blues Fest. She will start her set at 9:15 p.m. Performances begin at 4:15 p.m. each night and end at 10:45 p.m. Deckert said to commemorate the 10th annual Blues Fest, organizers wanted to do something new and discussed different ideas.“As we started looking through various acts, we realized we hadn’t ever highlighted women entertainers in blues, and there are so many of them,” Deckert said. The other female performers are Veronika Jackson, Nora Jean Wallace and Melody Angel.

“With this event, people seem to come and go throughout,” Deckert said of the fes tival, which is for all ages. There will be multiple food and beverage vendors. Four Day Ray Brewing and Mash Craft will offer beverages for sale. Free parking is available in the Switch, police and Spark Apartment garages. Street parking also is available throughout the Nickel Plate District and downtown Fishers. For more, visit npdAMP.com.

Regardless of occupation or role in life, we all hunger to be inspired, don’t we? And when that inspiration arrives, our performance suddenly excels. Whether it’s parenting, leading a nonprofit, being a CEO of a Fortune 500 company or on the line at a restaurant, inspiration is something we all seek. Some might call it motivation, being emotionally engaged or positive thinking. But it’s really all about inspiration. So, how are you inspired? Vacations are a leading poll winner, quickly followed by being in nature, faith-based moments and family.Steve Jobs was motivated to leave some thing behind that Sainte-VictoiremountainsrationfoundPaulmusicfilm,inspirationRojodancerDone!everything.changedBalletTamaraseeksintheater,andart.Cezanneinspiintheof in France and their changing landscapes through the seasons, which he painted in many interpretations. Dali was jazzed by a little village in Port Lligat, Spain, and Monet from the gardens of Giverny. You’ve seen the paintings! It seems that most artists/painters dis cover inspiration from nature, and I am no exception. Sunsets on any beach or a se cluded Arizona/Utah/New Mexico-mountain hike are particularly relevant. So is music. Loud music, my better half would say. A recent concert at Ravinia in Chicago taking in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on an especially beautiful night ignited several fresh paintings. The Palladium and gritty jazz clubs inspire me, too, as do family mo ments and faith. Need inspired? Try scheduling it.

REMODELING

Sloping sites provide unique opportu nities to create incredible outdoor living spaces. In this exam ple, our homeowners had a wood deck projecting out from the lower level of their home. It was a nice space, but not quite big enough to accommodate their needs.After considering a few designs with varying configurations, our homeowner opted for the versatile design pictured here. This design provides them with 430 square feet of entertainment space. The patio responds to the sloping site by step ping down out of the home and also down to a lower patio level. There is also a des ignated spot for their grill. The steps not only provide access from one level to an other, but they also serve as the graceful line that defines and divides the multiple gathering spaces. The bullnose profile of the leading edge of each step repeats the line of the rounded arms of the furniture and helps soften the overall look and feel of the space. The sizes and shapes of the primary patio spaces are big enough to create distinctly amazing spaces for their family and friends. Do you have a challenging site that needs some creative consideration? Stay home, be moved. Before-and-after look of an outdoor patio redesign. (Photos courtesy of Bill Bernard)

Commentary by Don Knebel

On Jan. 30, 1882, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born to 54-year-old James and Sara Delano Roosevelt, his much younger second wife, in the upstairs master bedroom of the Springwood house. When FDR married Eleanor in 1905, the newlyweds moved into the Springwood house, owned by Sara since James’ death in 1900. In 1915, FDR, an amateur architect, convinced his strong-willed mother to un dertake a major expansion of the house to accommodate his and Eleanor’s growing family and his growing political ambitions. The remodeling added a third story to the center section, enlarged the entrance hall, added a north wing with eight servant rooms and recast the exterior in the Colo nial Revival style. During his years as pres ident, FDR visited Springwood more than 200 times, often for extended periods with his staff. After Franklin died in 1945, he was buried in Springwood’s rose garden and his family donated the estate to the United States, which opened the house to the pub lic in 1946. When Eleanor died in 1962, she was buried alongside her husband. Today, the Springwood house looks much as it did at the time of FDR’s death. The en trance hall includes a life-size sculpture of Franklin as a young man. Downstairs walls and cabinets are filled with items reflecting Entrance Hall in Springwood House.
