Dispatches Arrest scam – A phone scam has resurfaced in Hamilton County. Callers, sometimes using police officers names and official looking phone numbers, tell the victim that an arrest warrant has been issued for some offense. The victim is pressured to make a payment to avoid arrest. Arrest warrants in Hamilton County are never served over the phone and most agencies do not use wire transfers or pre-paid credit cards for payments.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It’s been one of the rainiest summers in Carmel’s recorded history. And that’s meant fewer days to relax by the pool. The Monon Community weather Center Waterpark has been closed more than it ever has since it was first built, according to Carmel Clay Parks Director Mark Westermeier. “The Waterpark got off to a very slow start this year. In the month of June we were closed eight days, which were more days than we’ve ever been closed during an entire season,” he said. Westermeier said the sluggish start initially hurt revenue since it’s not just annual members who use the park. “Our pool revenue is really dependent on day pass users,” he said. “On the days we’ve been open, our revenue is higher than it’s ever been but we just haven’t been open enough days.” The good news is that good weather in July pushed the Waterpark’s attendance numbers. On days when the Waterpark is open, there have been plenty of people in the pool. “July was also sluggish in the beginning,

but we finally had some great weather, which was both hot and sunny,” Westermeier said. “So at the end of July we are about the same place as we were last year and are very hopeful for a few good weekends before the season ends which could push us to actually beat last year’s numbers. Overall I’m very pleased where we are considering the weather this year, we even had a day in August that the temperature never got close to 70 degrees, which is our minimum temperature for opening, and that is a first for sure as August has historically been our hottest month. This Waterpark season has certainly been shrouded with strange weather.” The Waterpark will close for the season on Sept. 7.

Committee to discuss proposed law Sept. 18 By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council will hold a meeting of the Finance, Rules and Administration Committee on Sept. 18 to city news discuss the proposed antidiscrimination ordinance. The committee, which is comprised of city councilors, originally planned to discuss the ordinance at the end of August, but that meeting was canceled because Carmel City Attorney Doug Haney went on paid administrative leave. Some had hoped that the Carmel City Council would have voted to suspend the rules and vote on the ordinance once it was introduced in August, but a unanimous vote is required to do that, so it was sent to committee instead. Because the council’s first regular meeting in September is cancelled because of Labor Day, there’s more than a month between

introduction of the proposed ordinance and the next chance to vote on it Sept. 21. Some councilors said they weren’t looking forward to a month of media coverage on the issue and thought the longer it took the more it might be perceived that Carmel was reluctant to pass the law. City Council President Rick Sharp, who sets the agenda and supports the idea of the ordinance, said there’s no need to rush. “I will have to be overruled by a majority of the council,” he said. “I am unmovable about that. There’s nothing special about this in terms of we’re not addressing an immediate, clear and present danger. It’s nothing that addresses public health, safety or welfare. And I would be and should be roundly criticized if council was seen to be steamrolling this forward. My expectation is that we follow the process of normal business.”

Can you plan a gay wedding in Carmel? By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com When the Carmel City Council recently heard from the public about the proposed anti-discrimination ordinance, the same example reappeared repeatedly. Would the ordinance mean business that a bakery would be forced to make a cake for a gay wedding? Rascia Johnson, owner of Rascia’s Creative Cakes in the Carmel Arts & Design District, laughed. “It always seems to be about the bakers,” she joked. “We always seem to be the ones everyone brings up.” Johnson said she has no problem making a cake for a gay wedding, and she’s done plenty of them. “It’s an honor that they chose for you to be part of their special occasion, and it’s not for you to judge people,” she said. Several other Carmel business owners who deal with weddings say they would have no problem serving gay customers. Julie Bolejack, owner of Chocolate for the Spirit on Carmel Drive, said it wouldn’t even be a question for her if she were asked to make desserts for a gay wedding. To her, it’s a yes, and it’s a no-brainer.

Tim Kirk, co-owner of the family-run IndyAnna’s Catering, said he has no problem with the ordinance. “As long as their money is green, I’m not here to judge,” he said. Lucy Qi, owner of Lucy Tailor on Carmel Drive, said she would have no problem. “We work with any bride or with anybody,” she said. “I’ve done dresses for several lesbian couples.” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said that he’s proud there isn’t a problem with discrimination in Carmel, but the ordinance is still neces-

sary in his view. He also said he supports the original version of the ordinance. Amendments have been discussed that would exempt businesses from providing services off-site or creating custom products that are deemed profane. “If somebody claimed for discrimination under that, it wouldn’t be protected under the law,” he said. JD Ford, an openly gay democrat who unsuccessfully ran against State Sen. Mike Delph, said he doesn’t support the amendments, but he’s often tired of hearing gay weddings brought up as the only example of discrimination. “This is about more than just cakes,” he said. “This is about employment protections. It’s about housing protections. It’s about making sure people are treated equally on a number of levels.” Opponents of the law said it’s wrong to force people to provide services for a gay wedding if it’s against their beliefs. The Rev. Richard Doerr from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church said he believes the law discriminates against Christians because it would be against the Catholic faith to participate in a gay wedding.

Hotel planned for City Center By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Redevelopment Commission is continuing its work on the City Center area. Landscaping is underdevelopment way at The Palladium, The Nash building is set to open soon, and design plans have been ordered for a new hotel nearby. CRC Director Corrie Meyer said the commission hired architectural firm David M. Schwarz Architects, out of Washington D.C., to create plans, “just to take an initial look at what it could be.” The contract is for up to $25,000 to explore what a hotel at the Carmel City Center could or should look like. Presumably, Pedcor would build the hotel, but no operating company has been identified. The hotel has been in the works since the initial planning for City Center. Although previous plans exist, Meyer said it was important to update the plan now that phase one of Carmel City Center is complete and phase two is beginning. “The site plan evolved over the years,” she said. “Now that the City Center is in its second phase and Pedcor has a lockdown on how all

of the pieces are working, how can we maximize the use of the hotel? How can we marry the aesthetics from the nearby structures and come up with viable design ideas?” It’s unknown whether the hotel operator would purchase the hotel building or whether a lease agreement would be reached. Meyer said it’s important not to get too far ahead at this point. “We’re just trying to cast this vision at this point,” she said. The CRC is also working on improvements and landscaping for areas including The Carmel Center for the Performing Arts. The commission is spending $1.3 million to finish the area outside of The Palladium by using previously purchased limestone to create improvements. The CRC also approved $150,000 to repair the dome of The Palladium, which needed work to ensure long term structural integrity. Meyer said the CRC is also excited about the upcoming opening of The Nash building, a mixed used property owned by Pedcor located just south of the main Carmel City Center building. CRC spent some of its funds to help with the site. Residential units are located above retail tenants, which include Graeter’s Ice Cream and The Art of Home & Kitchen.

Since she was first introduced to jazz in fifth grade, Emma Hedrick has been hooked. “All famous jazz players are music amazing,” Hedrick said. “They have to know so much to be able to play jazz, because it’s one of the hardest styles of music.” The Carmel High School sophomore sings and plays piano on jazz standards. She has headed a combo that has played a few times this summer at the Monon Depot Museum, the home of the Carmel Clay Historical Society. Her next appearance will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Sept. 4. “It’s such a nice place for people to gather around and listen,” Hedrick said. “It’s fun to play there since it’s such a scenic area.” Hedrick and her combo plan to play at the PorchFest in Carmel from 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 13 in the Carmel Arts & Design District. Hedrick, who turns 16 in February and wants to pursue jazz in college, works with Heather Ramsey Clark at Midwest School of Voice and attended a jazz camp at Butler this summer. Hedrick’s jazz combo members include Savanna Sito and fellow CHS students Kalea

Miao and Mitch Korolev. She met Sito through the Midwest School of Voice. She has known Miao and Korolev since Clay Middle School and was with both in jazz band in the 2014-15 school year. “We practiced almost every weekend over the summer,” Hedrick said. “It’s more difficult than playing in the big band in the high school because I have to find all the music and arrange it myself. It’s good because I can pick out what songs I want to do and there are more vocal songs.”

Foundation preserves legacy, holds fundraiser By Navar Watson • news@currentincarmel.com In 2011, Angie Daniel moved to Hamilton County to help her sister, Stephenie Jocham, of Westfield, jumpstart the Christ Is My Big C foundation. But three weeks later, GIVING BACK Jocham, who ran her business in Carmel, died from sarcoma cancer, age 43. She had been diagnosed a year-anda-half before, leaving behind two sons, Bryce and Kye. “She had some crazy side effects,” Daniel said. “I’ve never seen anybody do it with such a smile and such a positive attitude. I think that is really what kept her going.” Daniel spearheaded the foundation, and since Jocham’s death, CIMBC has raised $120,000 – distributing about $62,000 to cancer patients so far. As the years go on, however, finding support is more challenging. “We’re just trying to make sure that we’re staying relevant,” Daniel said. “Unfortunately, the further away you are from when she passed, the less interest there is.” In the beginning, the foundation hosted golf tournaments, a fashion show and 5K runs, with Daniel working as full-time volunteer executive director. A district sales manager at

Sysco foods and mother of two, she can only commit part-time now. The foundation, however, still hosts the annual golf tournament at Sagamore Golf Club, set for Sept. 14. Each year, about 100 to 130 golfers participate. This year, lunch is provided by McAlister’s Deli, and Sysco will provide dinner. Alcoholic beverages are also free, and participants have a chance to win prizes throughout the day. Money toward the foundation directly helps cancer victims with financial needs, funding anything from gas cards to medical bills. Ironically, finances didn’t cause tremendous stress for

Jocham, but she knew it did for other patients. “It’s the one way that cancer didn’t impact her, yet that was what she chose to make the foundation about,” Daniel said. “It just speaks volumes about her personality.” A family attorney, Jocham was a “pioneer” in the art of mediation, Quick said. She strived to prevent “ugliness” and fighting in the courtroom during divorce procedures. More than 700 people attended Jocham’s funeral, Daniel said – a testament to how many lives she touched. Daniel said she feels like Jocham lives through her foundation. Daniel hopes to see more fundraising events in the future, especially fashion shows, since the last one was a success. It featured Jocham’s son, Bryce, who plans to attend Indiana University this fall to study fashion design. One of Daniel’s goals is for the foundation to become a self-sustaining entity, possibly providing for a paid executive director who has time to coordinate events. She hopes one day CIMBC will be recognized among other Indiana foundations, like the Heroes Foundation – something Jocham would have loved to see. “She dreamed of that foundation before she passed away. She wanted to do this,” Quick said. “Her spirit is being kept alive.”

CCS, library resolve land issue Compiled by Amanda Foust

The Carmel Clay School Board met Aug. 24 to discuss several items as the school year recently got under way.

What happened: The school board recommended an approval for a legal agreement regarding property from Carmel Clay Public Library and Carmel Clay Schools. What it means: CCS and the library had an agreement in 1996 for property ownership of five acres. Both properties used each other’s lots, and there have been no problems in the past. However, when a new sign for CCS went to be approved, a problem with the deed was identified. The property lines were not accurate, and there was an additional acre missed during the sale. It is still undetermined how this was overlooked. An agreement was written that would allow the library to deed back one acre to CCS while receiving driveway and parking lot access in return. Also, What’s next: Action both properties agreed that if either lot were to sell, the other would have will be taken at the the first option to buy. In conclusion, nothing will be changed except for the next meeting. legal paperwork. What happened: Maggie Figge from Carmel Youth Assistance Program gave a presentation on the program. What it means: CYAP is a collaboration between Carmel Clay Schools, the City of Carmel, and Hamilton County Juvenile Courts. The program provides coordination of services for families and children with an overarching goal to intervene early in a child’s life as a preventative action instead of reactive. The program focuses on connecting to already available resources within Hamilton County and offers navigation support to families.

What’s next: CCS superintendent Dr. Nicholas Wahl said that the district is searching for early intervention screening tools to help identify students in CCS who may need or benefit from the services. A screening intervention will help identify common warning signs.

What happened: Roger McMichael presented to the board his recommendation for a public hearing regarding 2016 budgets, Capital Projects Fund Plan and a 12-year bus replacement plan. What it means: The money for these projects is there, but nothing can be done until the plans are approved. The administration has presented the plan but must proceed with advertising to the public before the plan is approved. Once there is a public hearing and it is approved, the proposal will then go to the state for final approval before the beginning of the year.

What’s next: Public hearing scheduled for Sept. 28.

Safe Families to host gala By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Safe Families for Children, a self-funded volunteer based organization aimed at keeping families intact and fundraiser preventing child neglect and abuse, will be holding a gala at the Oak Hill Mansion, 5801 E. 116th St., Carmel on Sept. 11. The organization has been in the Indianapolis metropolitan area since 2008. The gala will be the big event of the year, with last year’s gala raising $80,000. Organization assistant director Beth Kinney said she hopes to meet and exceed that goal this year. The gala helps raise money to help struggling families in the area who may need to find a spot for their kids while they get back on their feet. “We provide early intervention services if a parent is struggling and having a hard time,” Kinney said. “The parent can call us and we will place the children into a temporary host home.” Kinney said many of the participants are single mothers looking for help with getting back on their feet, but she said they also take

OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS. TIMELESS DESIGNS.

As the Carmel Arts & Design District continues to grow, city officials are dealing with issues caused by the increased Q&A amount of people in the area. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard talked to Current in Carmel about how to handle the growth. Is Main Street too narrow to handle the traffic as a two-lane road? That’s not going to change. That gives the area its quaintness. We’re working on other roads around the Arts & Design District. There will be new streets as a part of the Midtown development that will be a way to reach the area. We worked hard to create a traffic problem in that area quite honestly. We continue to make sure there is parking, and we hope a lot of people use bicycles and other transportation to get to that area. At some point, we might have some local public transit in that area. Is the intersection at Range Line Road and Main Street a candidate for a roundabout? No. That’s probably one corner of the city where there’s just not enough room. And somehow that’s appropriate given it was one of the first stoplights in the country. It just doesn’t work there. How do you deal with concerns about a

lack of parking? I have yet to quickly find a parking space in the Arts & Design District. It’s important to remind people of the free parking that we do have. We have free parking underneath Sophia Square and at the Indiana Design Center. And there are a lot of major cities nationwide where you pay $20 to park and people are used to it, and here it is all free for the public. Every time we redo an area, we allow for more on-street parking, and we usually can increase the number of spots. How do you deal with increased littering in the area? We want to remind people that it’s a $400 fine for littering. If a police officer sees it then they are subject to the citation. If there’s a constant problem coming from a certain area, we do have cameras. We have cameras on the streetlight posts and we can see if it’s coming from a certain area. These cameras do help prevent crime or vandalism, so we want people to know that the cameras are there. How do you deal with more people using the Monon Trail? We are looking at that right now as we see the Midtown area develop. We are hiring a firm to see how different types of users can coexist, whether we need to widen the trail or create two different trails.

County leads statewide e-filing Dr. Praveen Perni

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Dr. John Ward

Low Back Pain Seminar Join Dr. Praveen Perni and Dr. John Ward, board certified and fellowship-trained physicians, as they discuss latest treatment options for low back pain caused by sciatica, a pinched nerve or stenosis. They will present techniques for reducing pain, including injections and surgery. A light dinner will be served.

On Aug. 12, Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush helped celebrate and congratulate Hamilton County in courts its efforts of implementing e-filing of county court documents. Led by Indiana Appeals Judge Paul Mathias and Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David, Hamilton County’s paving the way for e-filing has been a long time coming. “A former justice on the Supreme Court and I started this whole idea of a case management system and e-filing in late 1999,” Mathias said. “So here we are today, now having a statewide case management system. It’s not quite statewide yet but almost there with e-filing as an add-on. It’s taken that long. Good things take time.” The project hopes to reduce paper use, save money on postage and save time by both employees and citizens taking fewer trips to the clerk’s office. Announced in 2014 by the Indiana Supreme Court, champions of the project have the ultimate goal for statewide implementation set for the end of 2018. “This is a major step toward all 92 counties accepting electronic filings rather than paper,”

Chief Justice Rush said. With the change, Hamilton County will accept e-filing for most civil cases. “The Indiana Supreme Court is committed to the most effective use of technology to ensure that courts operate with efficiency and fairness,” David said. “E-filing is a key component of our modernization plans.”

Carmel swimmer reflects on setting world record

INDIANA PERMANENT COSMETICS

Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh Claire Adams of Carmel set a junior world record last month with a time of 59.58 seconds in the 100-meter achievement backstroke at the USA Championships in San Antonio. The Carmel High School senior won a silver medal in the 100 meter backstroke at the U.S. World Junior Championships last week in Singapore and could possibly make the 2016 U.S. Olympic Adams team. She answered the following questions from Current in Carmel on her recent success and future goals. How did you first become interested in swimming? I am from Houston and had always enjoyed summer swim team. When I moved to Carmel my parents put me on the swim team because they knew I liked it and would be able to make friends. What did it feel like to set a worldrecord time in San Antonio? I had no idea I had set a world record at first. I was in shock when I found out. Everything was happening so quickly it didn’t sink in until later that night.

What are your swimming goals? My biggest goal as a swimmer is to make a positive impact on the sport and other people whether they swim or not. How do you feel about your chances for making the U.S. Olympic team? I am very excited about the 2016 Olympics! When it comes down to it the water doesn’t discriminate. I have just as good a chance as anyone. What would it mean to you to make the U.S. Olympic team? It is always an honor to represent our country, and making the U.S. Olympic team would be an amazing opportunity to do so.

What is your favorite thing about living in Carmel? I think we live in such a beautiful city. I love how we have a strong sense of pride in our community. What are your favorite Carmel restaurants? I absolutely love Yats, Square Donuts and Handel’s. Who are your role models? My coach, Ian Murray, and my parents. All three are amazing, dedicated people. What advice do you have for swimmers looking for success? Trust your coaches and work the process. Results will come when you trust the plan.

Dealing with pain can increase faith

Dear Terry Anker, I enjoyed reading your commentary entitled “No Pain: Right of Passage” and appreciated you questioning about whether we can choose to live a life without pain. I know of no way we can avoid pain in our lives, but how we deal with the pain has as much to do with whether the experience will leave a permanent scar, or strengthen one’s character. Psalm 13 is a wonderful psalm of lament. In fact, the psalm expresses the raw emotions of one who is in the depths of a painful and hopeless situation with no answer or remedy. However, even in the midst of

Opponents seem to be selective

his plea, the psalmist realizes, or acknowledges, that he can turn to his Lord, who is trustworthy and has dealt bountifully with him in the past. I heard preached that the journey from fury to faith has to go through lament; and in that moment the person’s helplessness is their greatest prayer to God. Lament primes us to experience our greatest moments by allowing our “human impotence to come across Godly impotence.” While no one intentionally seeks out painful experiences, I know the power that lament has in increasing my faith and making me into a more courageous man. Chris Johnson

Editor, There were a lot of people at the Aug. 17 Carmel City Council meeting who spoke in opposition to Mayor Brainard’s proposed antidiscrimination ordinance. One of their main sticking points is that such an ordinance would violate their “deeply held religious beliefs” that do not allow them to do business with the LGBT community, because that’s what the Bible tells them. Therefore, in the name of fairness and consistency, I assume none of these same folks will do business with anyone who has engaged in premarital sex, any man who is clean shaven, anyone with tattoos, anyone who is divorced, anyone who eats shellfish, anyone who touches a woman while she is

menstruating, anyone who wears ripped jeans, anyone who wears two different fabrics at the same time or anyone who has ever worked on Sunday – because that’s what their Bible says. If businesses are going to adhere to one law noted in the Bible, shouldn’t they adhere to all of them? Anything less seems to be the selective use of Bible verse. I am a lifelong, very proud resident of Carmel and as such, I urge the City Council to pass this ordinance, with reasonable amendments, in a timely manner. Many people complain that government often passes laws reactively. Carmel leaders have always been forward thinking, and this is another chance for them to continue that proactive tradition.

Positive tone would make for a better newspaper Dear Mr. Kelly and Mr. Greenberg, I’ve debated sending this note for a while now, but after reading the most current “From the Backshop” in the 8/18 edition of “Current in Carmel,” I felt I should. I’ve been an Indiana girl most of my life: raised in South Bend, spent my early 20s in Indy, went to IU-Bloomington for college. My job postcollege took me many places as I advanced in my career (Kansas City, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee). A few years ago, my husband and I were able to choose where we lived (rather than my job choosing for us), and for me, there was no question that I wanted to come back to Indiana. I love it here. And I love what it’s become/ing. Up until the RFRA debacle, I’ve always worn my Hoosier badge proudly. We chose to settle down in Carmel. We bought the house, had the child and have really started creating a life for ourselves here. And part of that life is getting involved in community events. And that’s where you come in. I do enjoy reading Current in Carmel and appreciate what you guys are doing, especially in this digital age where print media is sadly disappearing. I find myself clipping out events/things to do and posting

them on my fridge and, by and large, enjoy thumbing through the pages. What I can’t understand, and really hope you’ll look at, is the tone that is taken in the Views section, specifically in your “From the Backshop” section. I’m not asking you to change your beliefs – not in the slightest; however, I am asking you to consider the tone of your delivery. Every week, I find it condescending, nasty and very short-sighted. Believe me, I know that I’m a blue girl living in a red state. And I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. But this isn’t The Drudge Report. Or Fox News. This is a newspaper dedicated to supporting and promoting the community. And it’s jarring to have such divisive language in the middle of a community-centric paper. As someone who reads your paper every week, that this really bothers me. And if it bothers me, it likely is bothering many other people. I love my community and love 90 percent of your paper. I hope this doesn’t become something that gets made fun of in next week’s issue, because I do feel my heart is in the right place here. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Amy Charles, Carmel

Early traffic signal a go in Carmel

By Terri Horvath news@currentincarmel.com

The introduction of the gasolinepowered automobile in the late 1800s spawned the imagination and innovation of hundreds of inventors. Many Hoosiers were among them and designed some of the most useful items for motorists, including tilt steering and the use of the rearview mirror. Carmel had its own significant contribution made by Leslie Haines. He developed one of the first practical stop signals in the country. In 1921, Haines started experimenting with a stop and go signal system relying on weights and lift principle. Two years later he donated a working mechanism to the town for installation on Main Street. A local doctor named Ross A. Cooper was impressed and decided to fund Haines’ marketing efforts. Haines and a small staff worked for another two and a half years to experiment and assemble the product. Dur-

ing this development stage, however, Haines didn’t consider patent protection. Competition using similar ideas grew stronger. Plus, electric signals were being increasingly used within large cities. As a result, Haines and Cooper discontinued operations in 1933. The contribution lives on, however. The Haines stop and go signal is on permanent display at the Carmel Clay Historical Society Museum.

Katherine “Kat” Higgins, an information technology project manager at Liberty Mutual Insurance, is to be married to Chad Michael Daugherty, a global marketing consultant for Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals, both of Carmel. Higgins is the daughter of Priscilla “Meg” and the late Lawrence Higgins of South Bend. Daugherty is the son of Linda and James Daugherty of Carmel (originally from Anderson). The future bride is a graduate of LaSalle High School in South Bend and obtained her bachelors in business from Indiana Wesleyan University in Indianapolis. The future groom is a graduate of Greencastle High School and obtained his bachelors from Kelly School of Business at Indiana University in Bloomington and his Masters of Business Administration from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. The couple has four children: Samantha and Nathan Daugherty, and Alexis and Anastasia Higgins. A wedding date is not yet confirmed.

Jake Laird golf outing The Annual Jake Laird Golf Outing included Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. Both took the time to pose with Mike and Debbie Laird. The Laird family appreciates the longtime support and help from both Mayors. (Photos by Amy Pauszek) “Where’s Amy?” … I recently attended the 12th annual Jake Laird Golf Outing on Aug. 21. Jake had been an IMPD officer for four years when he was shot and killed in the line of duty. Following the loss of their son, Mike and Debbie Laird decided to create something positive and formed a non-profit agency. The Jake Laird Fund is dedicated to providing financial support for police officers and firefighters injured in the line of duty who are experiencing financial hardships. In addition the nonprofit provides funding for special projects and equipment for police and fire agencies. The Jake Laird Fund has donated approximately $400,000 to help others in need throughout Indiana. Each year the Laird family and friends host a golf outing to celebrate Jake’s life. They thought the idea would last a couple of years after their son’s tragic death but they are still amazed at the amount of support they receive each year. The event also included Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.). I attend and experience so many wonderful things for my column, but it is the meaningful events like this that open our hearts to appreciate life and the ones around us. To make a donation or learn more information, visit thejakelairdmemorialtourney.org

Family friend U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) attended the golf outing and sat with Mike and Debbie Laird at dinner.

The entire Laird family works hard all year round to make the golf outing run smoothly and be successful. Nephew Andrew Dodson, from left, Debbie Laird, Debbie’s brother Doug Dodson, Son/Brother Gaben Laird take time to pose with Noblesville Mayor Ditslear.

Boz Scaggs at the Palladium

A night at the Palladium would not be complete for “Where’s Amy?” without running into pals of the Actors Theatre of Indiana. What a treat is was to see Kevin Farrell, ATI founder/artistic director Don Farrell, Wendy Mathews and ATI board members Denise Reiter and Michael Davidson. Yep, that’s the beautiful Palladium glowing in the background and the gang said it was a super fabulous night. Be sure to look for my upcoming exciting adventures with Actors Theatre of Indiana next week for “Where’s Amy?” (Photos by Amy Pauszek) The Center for the Performing Arts did it again. “Where’s Amy?” had the opportunity to rock out to Grammy Award-winning artist Boz Scaggs. The sold-out performance included the best known songs of his career including “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown.” Both had the crowds swaying, clapping and on their feet singing. The audience also had a chance to check out some of his new songs from his current albums “Greatest Hits Live” and “Speak Low.” Born in Texas and raised with an abiding respect for a wide spectrum of American roots music, Scaggs still has what it takes to win over his audience of the old and the new. He has combined rock, jazz, R&B and blues to create a trademark sound. With an extensive and distinctive career that has spanned 30 years and many accolades, Scaggs continues to prove himself as one of music’s most creative and original artists. It was clear the Palladium guests were delighted when Scaggs came out for three encore performances, each one better than the last and I swear the Palladium roof was almost ready to explode from excitement. I always have a blast at every concert I attend and I think it’s safe to say that Boz Scaggs went down as one of my favorites. “Where’s Amy?” – stay tuned for my next stop at the Palladium Sept. 18 when I will be attending platinum award-winning songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway. I hope to see you there. Grab your tickets by visiting TheCenterPresents.org

Boz Scaggs ruled the Palladium and won the hearts of every fan after he gave three encores to the sold-out venue. It was a treat to hear his new songs mixed with the old.

Rick and Kimberly Bossingham of Carmel were sitting behind me at the concert. I loved hearing them belt out tunes and I was thrilled when they each left with guitar picks that Scaggs threw out to a few lucky fans. The Bossinghams said they love attending concerts at the Palladium because the acoustics and entertainment are both top notch.

Carmel woman looks back on 100 years Marion O’Haver, 99, with one of her favorite paintings she created. (Photo by Theresa Skutt)

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Playing bridge, socializing and attending church functions are all run-of-the-mill activities for residents of cover story Carmel’s Sunrise on Old Meridian Assisted Living Facility. Marion O’Haver isn’t their normal resident. She will be the first resident in their sixyear history to turn 100 while living in the facility. Her milestone birthday is Sept. 8. O’Haver doesn’t seem to be too concerned regarding her big day. Her children, in conjunction with SOOM, will host a birthday extravaganza in her honor Sept. 12. “They seem to think it’s special,” she said of her children. O’Haver attended Indiana University where she studied art and received a degree in fine arts and French with a minor in mathematics. After completing her degree she began teaching art at Angola Public Schools where she worked for three years. “In my art class every person would be looking at the same object, but they would all draw it differently. I thought that was so interesting,” said O’Haver. She met Tom O’Haver, who also attended IU during the same time period. They were married in 1940. Tom’s military career dictated where the couple lived. They moved to Williamsburg, Va., but when O’Haver’s career with the military was over they moved back to Indianapolis with Tom working in heating and cooling and Marion teaching art and mathematics. “I never did teach French and I’m glad now because I don’t know it very well. Since you don’t use it much you lose it,” said O’Haver. The couple went on to raise four children – Tommy O’Haver, Susan Young, David O’Haver and Nancy Borsay. Tom retired in 1982 and the couple then moved to Berkshire Village in Carmel. They eventually had 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. The couple was married for 52 years before Tom died in 1992. O’Haver spent the next seven years as a single woman. She re-married in 2005 at the age of 89 to Myron Green who

was 90 and an old friend of both O’Haver and her first husband. Green was a dentist and died in 2010 after five years of marriage. O’Haver moved into SOOM in May and has been adjusting to her life there. She loves to play bridge with the other residents and even ran into an old friend while playing one afternoon. “The first time Mrs. O’Haver sat down to play bridge, she realized she had a friend who lived in the same building and they didn’t realize they were both living here,” said Tori Mayer, activities and volunteer coordinator. She’s also active within her church and is even part of a 90 and older club at Second Presbyterian Church. The group is led by Rev. Joyce Hunn and goes to lunch together every few months. She used to be a singer in her church but as she’s gotten older, she hasn’t been able to

sing as much due to trouble with her voice. At the age of 99 most people have had surgeries, health issues or complications. O’Haver has never had a surgery, which is an accomplishment to her. O’Haver had a passion for painting prior to Tom’s death in 1992. Most of her art was watercolor and nature scenes. She sold several pieces of her art at various exhibits with two now residing in Japan. While she doesn’t have a favorite piece, she does have one that receives quite a bit of attention due to her technique. “This one has drawn a lot of interest and I was surprised by it. I didn’t use a brush on this. I used a straw and blew the paint out,” said O’Haver. Although she hasn’t painted for some time, she wants to get back to creating art. “All of the sudden I got an inspiration yes-

terday,” said O’Haver. When asked what was the key to her longevity, O’Haver answered honestly. “I don’t know, but I can’t even believe I’m this old,” she said. All four of O’Haver’s children live in different cities, so she’s looking forward to seeing them all together at her birthday party.

About Marion O’Haver • Favorite activity: Playing Bridge • Least favorite activity: Bingo • Interesting fact: Married her second husband at age 89 • Married: 52 Years to Tom O’Haver, five years to Myron Green • Children: Tom O’Haver, Susan Young, David O’Haver, Nancy Borsay

The cool side of the pillow Commentary by Terry Anker It has been a sleepless night – tossing and turning as if the dilemma’s resolution could be found on the cool side of the pillow. What is keeping that much needed (and desired) sweet, deep sleep out of reach? Yes, there is much to do. However, there was much to do yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that one – and yet each delivered a perfect and restful slumber. The mind wonders from one topic to the next without finding a satisfactory place to rest. Thoughts emerge and recede never fully gaining the benefit of consideration. Soon, dawn is upon us. The sounds of the night are giving way to the industrious early birds beckoning first light. Focus is emerging from unresolved problems dwindling to a few. The digital clock across the room is advancing – at first by the minute, then in groups of ten or so at a time. What will the day bring? Will the resources and

ability to achieve the objective be attained? If at all, can the problem find a solution? And if it cannot, does it really matter? Soon, the house will come to life. The dog will awaken, stretch awkwardly, and nudge me to let him outside. Alarms will sound and school busses will arrive. If only there was time for a second cup of coffee. Just take it along for the drive to the office. On the radio, the weather forecaster predicts the climate in clichéd but comfortable prose. Did the extra hour this morning of silent thought prepare for the challenges ahead or would the benefit have been greater from a bit more REM? At this point, the machinery of life has begun again and we come to it prepared as we are. Happily, another chance for sleep arrives with nightfall.

My husband Doo and I began participating in triathlons last year. We were looking for something new to whip us into shape that wouldn’t require knee replacehumor ment surgery any time soon. We’ve completed three sprints thus far, and are gunning for an Olympic length tri over Labor Day. If you’re in with the Lord, please send up prayers this Sunday! I bring this challenge to your attention because in my quest to beat Doo, my formercollegiate-athlete brother-in-law and every middle-aged female on the planet, I’ve found that in addition to actually training, looking the part is equally important. To that end, I stepped up my game this summer by purchasing not only an honest-to-goodness road bike (the hybrid model I used in my first race was so slow I should have just attached a wicker basket and enjoyed a nice ride to market), but also real adult goggles (that don’t fog over after 2.3 seconds and won’t have to be stripped away for the second half of the swim) and a legit cycling outfit (on sale and straight from China). For me at least, appearing to be a capable, competitive athlete really does provide a boost in confidence, and consequently, in my performance. Plus, if you look like the winners, then even if a pregnant woman pushing a jogging stroller blows past you in the run, you can still pretend it never happened as you roam the post-race celebration, free brew in hand. The problem arises when people assume you know more than you actually do. Case in point, I recently fell off my bike and dropped the chain on a very busy riding trail. I received a few offers of help, but no one actually stopped. I think I looked too dang good! They probably thought I was sprawled in the weeds on purpose, perhaps practicing a therapeutic yoga move. And then I crashed again, less than 10 feet away! This time? Chirp. Alas, though I’ve done a decent job of exuding the serious triathlete vibe, I’m really just a gal trying to stay fit without bionics. Peace out.

“There’s someone at the door,” said my wife, which is never a statement of fact, but rather a request for me to go humor see who it is. Generally, it’s best that Mary Ellen not answer the door. She’s a softy and can’t say no to solicitors, which is why we have 20 years’ worth of garbage bags. The young man at the door was selling a new cable service. As a creature of habit, I am not inclined to change anything unless something much better comes along … and I say that proudly after 35 years of marriage. The time was 7:03 p.m. Keegan began by trying to convince me of the benefits of a faster Internet connection. “How long does it take you to get on the Internet now?” he asked. “Well, I start upstairs with a beverage, then, with this pesky knee of mine, it takes me a while to get down the stairs to the computer. By the time I find my glasses, we’re looking at eight to 10 minutes.”

Keegan was on his cell phone, on hold during our entire conversation, trying to get approval from his supervisor for the discount package he presented to me. He explained the advantages of this offer, which meant instead of 240 shows available every hour, we could get 270 – giving us an extra 30 we also had no time to watch. The deal-maker was that he was going to provide us with four DVRs, the devices that record TV programs for future viewing. We only have three TVs, so we’ll just stick one next to the toilet in the half bath. I bet it will creep out our guests at our next dinner party. It was now 10:05 p.m. The phone rang and it was yet another cable service wanting to talk about their new promotion, which sounded pretty good, too. “Let me think about that,” I said. “Can I put you on hold for a moment?”

Generally, it’s best that Mary Ellen not answer the door.

Every year, we must think food safety By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but every year we need to discuss food safety because each season people are either new to tailgating or others simply forget to be careful. You can be sure that from each game some tailgater will go home to be awakened in the night by all the bad symptoms of food poisoning. It’s very easy to avoid problems by following our simple SAFE rules. • Safe Start - buy fresh USDA certified beef, pork, or poultry. • Safe Prep - cook all hot foods thoroughly (beef and pork: 160 degrees; and poultry parts: 170). Keep hands and cooking/ serving items clean. • Safe Storage - keep cold foods cold at least at 40 degrees. Use two coolers: one for beverages (opened frequently) and the other for foods that must be kept cold before and after serving. Since this early part of the season is a time for lighter cold foods, here is a recipe that

should please your guests but not fill them up. Black Bean Salad Chipotle Monterey Jack Chicken Sausage Ingredients: 1 package JOHNSONVILLE® Cajun Chicken Sausage or Johnsonville Chipotle, Monterey Jack Cheese Chicken Sausage, sliced into coins, 1 red bell pepper, diced, 1 green bell pepper, diced, 1 green bell pepper, diced, 1 yellow bell pepper, diced, 1/2 cup red onion, diced, 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained, 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 lime, juiced, Salt and pepper to taste Directions: In a large bowl, combine peppers, onion, corn, black beans, sausage and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over other ingredients and toss well. Serve with tortilla chips. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His web site is www. tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

The comedy improv expertise of Second City, known for producing such famed talents as Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Bill comedy Murray and more, is coming to the Zionsville Performing Arts Center on Sept. 19 with the “Fully Loaded” tour. Eve Krueger, a comedy veteran of 15 years and current Second City ensemble actor, has had a career that literally spans the map of comedic opportunity. With worldly experience performing in Atlanta, Chicago and even a Norwegian cruise line, it’s perhaps odd that her favorite expletive seems to be “oh, cheese and crackers,” but it captures her sense of engaging humor just as well. “What’s interesting about Chicago, you’ll find, is it’s mostly a long-form improvisation town,” Krueger said. Krueger recently moved to Chicago for work at Second City. “I’ve had the opportunity to do lots of improv, even though I’ve only been there for a year.” Most fans of improvised comedy might only be familiar with episodes of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” but the modern improvisation scene has grown well beyond its roots, Krueger said. “I feel like improv is going through a really evolutionary period right now,” Krueger said.

“I have a deep love for short form improv, but we’re also seeing long form improv used in different ways. If you look at some of the major comedy podcasts out there, like “Comedy Bang! Bang!,” a lot of those guys are just improvising with different characters, and it’s a long form over the years that you can’t see necessarily. Much of the comedy shows today rely on actors who can improvise well to create more dialogue, which is lovely.” Perhaps what gives improv the comedic strength it has always had is the sense of chemistry and community surrounding such small-knit, yet bombastic efforts. “A lot of things come together at once. In theatre, we call it ‘communion,’ when all actors and the audience are all together on the same page and enjoying the same experience,” Krueger said. “When I’m touring with Second City, there are all sorts of beautiful moments like that that really do rely on chemistry of the cast and audience. It’s hard to describe because they’re so spontaneous. Beautiful, brilliant moments where you’re just happy to participate; a ‘have to be there’ moment.” Second City’s “Fully Loaded” tour will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center on Mulberry Street.

Honey Dewdrops come to Carmel By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

A unique performance with a mix of old American music and bluegrass will come to The Warehouse Sept. Performance 5 in the form of husband and wife duo, Kagey Parrish and Laura Wortman. Parrish and Wortman are the two parts of the band The Honey Dewdrops. “We are singer-songwriters who love a lot of old American music, old country music and old bluegrass styles,” Parrish said. “There’s an old, familiar sound to (our music) coming from traditional American influences but written from our

point of view and the world we live in today.” Parrish said he and Wortman write most of their own music, and about 90 percent of their performance will be original work. He described their music as having local harmonies, with their musical instruments consisting of guitars, a mandolin and a banjo. The Honey Dewdrops recently came out with their album, “Tangled Country.” To learn more about the married duo or purchase their work, visit their website at http:// www.thehoneydewdrops.com/music/.

The ballroom dancing event benefits Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County “The show is very loosely based on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’” said Beth Gehlhausen, executive director of the Noblesville-based Meals on Wheels. ”We pair local celebrities, they’re people in the community so they may not be known by everybody but lots of people may know them, and we pair them up with a professional. We pay for 10 lessons and if they want to continue, that’s up to them and their dancer.” Gehlhausen said among the dances performed last year were East Coast Swing, a foxtrot, a samba and a waltz. “Our suggested vote (donation) is $25 or higher but we have people vote using all kinds of amounts,” Gehlhausen said. Gehlhausen said the event raised more than $24,000 last year for Meals on Wheels.

California Closets is moving from its old home on 82nd Street, making the corner of Main Street and Range Line Road its new headquarters for providing clients with fully customizable storage and furniture solutions for every room of the house. “People don’t always realize we can do a lot more than closets,” said Mia Claxton, brand experience manager. “We’ve expanded a lot to be more complex in our designs and really be a leader in the industry. We have a lot of really great new materials we work with and things tend to get pretty complex on some projects. All of our consultations are complimentary and when we have a designer come out it’s really a collaborative effort to find something that’s going to be the perfect solution for the client’s style and what needs to be stored – and also the perfect solution for their financial comfort zone.” The staff was able to begin operating out of the new location Aug. 18, but California Closets

Helping your child with loss Commentary by Sean Keller, MD

DESIGN BUILD LANDSCAPES PATIOS

Tired of the ordinary? Want to change how you live, entertain and relax? Incredible outdoor living spaces!

Stay Home. Be Moved.

Coping with the loss of a family member or friend is difficult for anyone – especially children and adolescents. For parents tryfamily ing to help their children deal with death, the situation becomes even more challenging when the parents themselves are also grieving the loss. Here are some strategies for helping your child cope: • Let your child know that grieving is OK. Don’t be afraid to let your child see you cry or show emotion, and be sure to let her know that grieving is acceptable. • Answer questions honestly. Children may have questions about death and dying. Unless there are unusual circumstances, it’s best to answer your child’s questions in an honest, direct, age-appropriate way. • Offer reassurance. Young children often have “magical thinking.” They may feel their own actions caused the family member’s death. You may hear things like, “I didn’t

listen to Grandpa last week, so that’s why he died.” • Know the signs. Children often express grief through anger or silence. Teens may be more likely to engage in risky behavior, especially if they were very close to the person who died (parent, best friend). • Talk openly.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updating your ’90s kitchen Before

Commentary by Larry Greene Background Info: This home is located in the Avian Glen Subdivision in Carmel. It was built in 1994 and the kitchen was original to the home. The homeowners have lived there for eight years and were ready for an update. Before Problems: The cabinets were old thermafoil cabinets that were beginning to peel. The island was too small for the space and countertop would often move in place. The space was poorly utilized and did not meet the needs of the family.

After

After Solutions: The goal was to achieve a fully functional and beautiful kitchen for a busy family. 1. A large prep island was installed to create room for additional seating. 2. The built-in desk and pantry closet were eliminated to provide room for a more functional cabinet pantry with roll-out drawers. This also provided room for additional countertop space. 3. Pull out wire baskets were installed providing the perfect storage solution for produce. 4. Under cabinet lighting and two large pen-

dant lights were installed to brighten up the space. 5. Granite countertops replaced the outdated and decrepit laminate tops. Solid, black granite with a matte finish was used for the perimeter and lighter granite with ample movement was installed on the island. 6. Personalized city tile backsplash was installed allowing the clients to select tile of the cities where they previously lived. 7. Hardwood flooring was installed throughout the first level creating a continuous flow between the kitchen and the rest of the home.

8. New ceramic tile was installed in the adjacent laundry room and half bathroom completing the flow and new look of the home with the kitchen. 9. The traditional kitchen was energized by adding industrial touches in the backsplash, island seating, and lighting. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling.

Deir el-Medina’s tomb builders

Let our experienced designers show you the positive impact of a well designed kitchen or bath remodel that fits your style, your family, and the way you live.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Live Happy . (317) 575-9540 | www.The-AffordableCompanies.com The Affordable Companies 1000 3rd Avenue SW. Carmel, Indiana 46032

Deir el-Medina is the name given to the ruins of an ancient Egyptian village that housed workers building tombs in the travel Valley of the Kings. Records from the site reveal an ancient economic development strategy. Contrary to popular beliefs, Egyptian tombs, including the Great Pyramids, were not built by slaves but by workers employed by the government. When Egyptians began entombing pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor, they built a town about two miles away for the tomb builders and their families. The town, originally named The Place of the Truth, was founded in about 1500 B.C. and lasted until interment in the Valley of the Kings ended about 400 years later. At its peak, the town included more than 100 four or five-room stone houses. At least some of the workers and their wives were literate. Letters written on ostraca and papyrus indicate the work schedule consisted of eight days on and two days off. Workers were given additional days off for festivals and

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.” -Janice H.

when they were ill or, on at least one occasion, drunk. During their time off, the workers constructed chapels and tombs for themselves and their families. The government provided the houses, medical care and laundry services. Wages consisted of food, firewood and other supplies the workers needed, with occasional bonuses of items for religious celebrations and materials for their eventual mummification. The painters, stone masons, carpenters and sculptors received about three times the wages of a field hand. When the skilled workers were dissatisfied with their wages and benefits under Pharaoh Ramses III, they went on strike until their demands were satisfied. Deir el-Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes some of the most finely decorated tombs in Egypt. It also provides an example of a government creating middle class jobs 3,500 years ago.
