City Council candidates begin to emerge
News analysis by Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com
The 2015 election is more than a year away, but races might start heating up for Carmel’s city government. Behind election closed doors, strategies are being discussed to consolidate political power among local players with similar philosophies on how to govern. Sharp It’s long been assumed that City Councilor Rick Sharp would run against incumbent-Mayor Jim Brainard. Sharp has not denied his history in the past, but he insists he hasn’t made a decision yet. Brainard quietly announced he will run for a sixth term. Robo-call pollsters have reportedly called Carmel households to ask potential voters what they would think of Sharp as mayor. But one thing might be for sure, Sharp said it’s unlikely he would run again in his City Council district. If he does decide to run for council again, he would run as an at-large candidate, which would likely put him up against incumbents Kevin “Woody” Rider and Ron Carter. Rider and Carter are often seen as agreeing with Mayor Jim Brainard’s vision for the city of Carmel and would show a distinct contrast to Sharp who has been critical of Brainard’s decisions in the past. It’s all part of a part of a plan to shift power. It is often believed that there are two “factions” on the current council. The four S’s – Sharp, Carol Schleif, Luci Snyder and Eric Seidensticker – are seen as the councilors who most often vote against Brainard-backed issues. They often have a 4-3 majority a few of those councilors switch on some issues to become swing votes. There’s a push among some to attract mayorfriendly candidates to run against this group of four. One name that is often thrown about is Jeff Worrell, current board member for the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. Worrell has gained
DISPATCHES
much popularity after 22 years as chairman of CarmelFest. He recently relinquished the reigns after this year, leading many to speculate that he was freeing up his time to run for council. Several civic leaders have acted as if his candidacy was a done-deal and he would run against Snyder in Worrell the southeast region, but Worrell denied any candidacy when asked by Current. “I’ve said the same thing I’ve told people for years, which is that I’m happy with what I’m doing right now,” he said. But when people asked him at PorchFest on Sunday if he was running, Worrell said: “I don’t know. I haven’t decided.” Worrell has business experience as president of Advantage Medical Rehab Equipment. He’s also been active in the Carmel Chamber of Commerce and he’s hosted a series of videos promoting the arts scene for the City of Carmel and The Palladium. One council candidate that is confirmed is Bruce Kimball. He’s planning on running against Seidensticker in the central region. He’s a former board member for the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation Kimball and he’s widely believed to be a reliable vote for Brainard’s vision. While he hasn’t sent out his official announcement yet, Kimball handed out business cards at Porchfest to begin to spread the word about his candidacy. Kimball became known throughout Carmel for his active use of social media. He’s often found on Twitter, Facebook and website message boards promoting Brainard’s plan for Carmel. He’s currently “semi-retired” but he previously worked as a mortgage advisor for many years. More candidate announcements are expected soon. If you are a candidate who plans to file, contact Adam Aasen at adam@youarecurrent. com.

After the Carmel City Council recently heard presentations from each city department, now begins the work of hamgovernment mering out a budget for the next fiscal year. And while every councilor has his or her own opinion on budget priorities, there appears to be a difference of opinion on how frugal Carmel should be. City Councilor Luci Snyder said that she wants a plan for tightening the city’s budget. “I would like to see five percent cut from the budget because I think you can always find five percent to cut from any budget,” she said. “And I think we have to hold our costs down because the economy as a whole is contracting. It’s not a robust economy and I don’t think we can continue to increase spending. It’s not wise. So I’ll ask the question and I’ll see what the mayor says.” Mayor Jim Brainard defended the city’s budget, saying, “It does what it needs to for the citizens and it doesn’t raise taxes.” He believes the budget is fiscally conservative and increases are in line with the city’s substantial growth. While he understands cuts sometimes have to be made, he said it’s important to not just throw out a number. “I think five percent is a pretty substantial cut,” he said. “That’s close to five million dollars and we’d have to lay people off to do it. Just
pulling a number out of the air like that doesn’t make sense.” City Councilor Sue Finkam agrees, saying it’s important to stick to a plan and not just adhere to an arbitrary number. She also said she believes that considering increased revenue such as the phasing in of Southwest Clay and rising property values should mean growth. “I’m less concerned with revenue this year than in years’ past,” she said. “Given all of the leading indicators, it should be positive on the revenue side.” Brainard said it would be hard to cut five percent without laying off employees. Some city councilors raised the question about spending so much money on outside consultants for needs such as public relations. City Councilor Rick Sharp said he’s not against spending on marketing, but his top concerns are issues such as road repairs. “If we are going to have a tight year, you have to really look at our necessities,” Sharp said. City councilors can vote to cut money from the budget, but it cannot increase the budget. Snyder said she would most likely ask Brainard to identify the places to cut. “I’ll ask, ‘What will you do if you have to cut four or five million from the budget?’” she said. “He’s the chief executive. I always hear, ‘I’m going to have to fire people.’ No, you’re not. You’re just going to have to do different things.”

City Council recap
Compiled by Adam Aasen
What happened: The Carmel City Council introduced a series of bills to raise all city employees’ salaries by two percent. What it means: This raise is meant to keep up with cost-of-living expenses and is part of the annual budget process. Some councilors have previously told Current that they feel the highest-paid employees might not need increases.
What’s next: The bills are sent to the Finance, Administration and Rule Committee which met on Thursday.
What happened: The City Council is dealing with a dispute with the Carmel Plan Commission about removing a roundabout from the city’s comprehensive plan. What it means: The council previously passed an amendment to remove any plans for a roundabout at Carmel Drive and Range Line Road. Mayor Jim Brainard disagreed with this decision but lacked veto power in this instance. The plan commission’s fourmember executive then went back and put the roundabout back into the document. So the City Council now has to draft a resolution to remove the roundabout again.
What’s next: The council will draft a new resolution dealing with the matter.
What happened: The City Council appropriated $70,000 to help cover city utility bills. What it means: The city borrowed the money from the operating funds for the purchase of the Brookshire swimming pool. Now the city has to replaced that money or there won’t be enough to keep the lights on.
“I am very grateful to the staff at Carmel Health and Living Community for all you have done during my recovery. With a smile, everyone has been very professional, helpful, and encouraging. Thank you all, for what you have done for me.” — Ed Hauser —
Testimonial
What’s next: The resolution was passed.
What happened: The Carmel Redevelopment Commission sought approval for a $203,890 for construction work on The Nash building. What it means: The CRC originally budgeted $100,000 for the project but bids showed that the costs might be a little higher, so officials sought ways to find revenue, including property sales and collecting payments owed. As a result, the money is available in the CRC budget and just needed an OK.
What’s next: The resolution was passed and construction can begin.

from Edward Hauser
Mr. Ed Hauser admitted to Carmel Health & Living from Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana on July 3rd, 2014. He was in a serious car accident resulting in multiple severe injuries including, a fractured left hip, bladder displacement, liver laceration, sternal fracture and pelvic fractures. Upon admission he suffered from severe pain and swelling which greatly limited his ability to participate in therapy or even get out of bed. The staff worked with Mr. Hauser on pain control and relaxation techniques to help make going to therapy possible. Once he had better pain management, he was able to make great strides in therapy. He became independent with transfers, bed mobility, and car transfers using Carmel Health and Living’s in house model car, specifically made to assist with this type of challenge. Working with Mr. Hauser’s health insurance and orthopedic team, we were able to obtain all needed equipment to ensure a safe discharge to home. He was able to return home on August 8th, 2014, and is continuing to make progress at this time.

Fishing village by morning and tourist haven the rest of the day, Cassis is a picturesque town on the Mediterranean Sea. Just east of Marseille, Cassis Travel offers excellent shopping, dining and water activities. After walking past vineyards and olive trees, visitors travel down the curvy cobblestone streets from the train station or parking lot. In town, visitors find art galleries, chic boutiques, souvenir shops and outdoor markets. In the morning, there’s a fish market at the port. Seafood is a specialty, of course. Restaurants often feature bouillabaisse, a traditional Provencal fish stew. While it may sound like a simple dish, it’s a delicacy in Southern France. In fact, if you’d like to order the bouillabaisse at Le Bonaparte, it must be ordered ahead of time and visitors must be ready to shell out $45 a bowl. It’s rare to see a diner without a glass of wine, typically white or rose, the latter of which is one of Cassis’ main products. The real attraction in Cassis, however, is the calanques, small coves of sparkling blue water surrounded by tall white limestone cliffs. The inlets are accessible by boat, kayak or foot – if one has the stamina to hike the 12-mile rocky upand-down footpath back to Marseille. Boats leave the Cassis port every half hour, and trips range from short (45-minute) visits of three calanques
The Cassis, France, port is full of activity, with fishing boats and tourist vessels vying for position. (Photo by Lana Bandy)
to longer (two-hour) trips visiting nine coves. Late summer/early fall is an excellent time to visit Cassis and the French Riviera, as the weather is still balmy (80 degrees), the European tourists are back to work and off-season prices are in full swing. While Cassis may not be the only destination on an American tourist’s itinerary, it should not be missed. After all, French philosopher Frédéric Mistral noted: “He who has seen Paris and who has not seen Cassis can say...I have seen nothing.” Lana Bandy is co-editor of Current’s puzzle page and a columnist for Carmel Business Leader.

Locals prep for lupus walk By Chris Bavender • news@ycurrentincarmel.com Walkers are set to take part in the eighth annual Walk to End Lupus Sept. 27 at Ft. Harrison State Park. And for one Hamilton County resident, it holds special philanthropy significance. Judy Schaff of Carmel is living with lupus. Lupus is a chronic disease affecting primarily women in which the autoimmune system turns on itself and attacks healthy organs in the body. The disease is very difficult to diagnose as there is no single test that diagnoses lupus. Schaff, 60, was diagnosed with lupus by a dermatologist when she was 24. “The symptoms that I had were itchy rashes on my scalp, face, eye lids and neck. Unlike many patients, my doctor had strong suspicions immediately, about my lupus diagnosis,” she said. “After my first appointment, a great deal of lab work was ordered. Upon the second appointment and receipt of the lab work, the doctor indicated that I needed to be hospitalized for further evaluation.” That hospitalization lasted 10 days. “During my hospitalization, arthritis in my knees started, as well as many most of the other joints in my body,” Schaff said. “The pain was severe and constant for the next two years.” Thirty-six years later, Schaff said she is feeling the best she has since her initial diagnosis. “I take approximately 20 pills per day, to deal
with pain and the side effects of the persistent dosing of prednisone,” she said. “My prognosis at this time is fairly good. I currently see a rheumatologist and several other specialists to deal with problems caused from taking prednisone.” According to Jan Ferris, Chief Executive Officer, Lupus Foundation of America, Indiana Chapter, the annual Lupus Walk is the largest fundraising and awareness event of the year. In 2013 more than $130,000 was raised by 1,620 walkers. “It is our primary source of income that allows us to provide lupus patient programs and help fund research to find a cure,” Ferris said. “There are some 36,000 lupus patients in Indiana. And one in four becomes disabled, unable to work or lead a normal active life. The average cost to treat a lupus patient every year, is $19,000. There is a great need for more awareness of lupus and more research.” Schaff agreed. “When I was diagnosed there was very little known about lupus. At that time the prognosis for lupus was dismal. Approximately 95 percent of the patients died from lupus. I immediately started attending LFA Lupus Support Groups in Milwaukee, after my diagnosis,” she said. “I attended meetings faithfully for many years. I can say that the LFA saved my life, along with my physician. The money generated by the Lupus walk, helps provide education programs for newly diagnosed patients and their families, which is desperately needed.”

Monon Lake development passed By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a failed last-minute attempt to buy the property, angry neighbors lost the battle to preserve land that will become the Monon Lake housing development. The government Carmel City Council approved the controversial project 6-1 last week. City Councilor Luci Snyder praised neighbors for trying diligently to save the land, but called it a “two minutes to midnight” proposal that could have serious legal ramifications. Snyder said waiting too long could prevent the council from meeting its 90-day window, which means the decision reverts back to that of the Carmel Plan Commission. Councilors approved the project, located north of I-465 just west of the Monon Trail, unanimously at the committee level, but the plan commission was unanimous in its negative recommendation.
City Councilor Ron Carter was the lone vote against the project because he said he trusts the opinion of the plan commission. The M/I Homes development had been criticized by residents of nearby neighborhoods for many reasons, including traffic flow, congestion, pedestrian safety, drainage, aesthetics and nature preservation. The committee approval prompted an angry seven-page letter from Karen Cheek, a concerned resident who has been organizing protestors through Facebook. “The blatant disregard by the Land Use Committee of the unanimous vote of “NO SUPPORT” by the City of Carmel Planning Commission and the protests of hundreds of concerned citizens submitted for your consideration through petitions, letters, e-mails, calls and organized demonstrations, all in support of denying this petition, was truly shocking and appalling to witness,” she wrote.

Thank you for turning out Commentary by Jeff Worrell When Mayor Jim Brainard came back from a conference with the idea to start a new festival, he pulled some key strategists together to serve on the inaugural organizing thoughts committee. When the group gathered the first time, there was immediate agreement that Sue Finkam should serve as the chairwoman. So Blair Clark, Heather Ramsey Clark, Ron Carter, Justin Moffett and Austin Johnson began working on Carmel PorchFest. The results of their efforts were on display on Sept. 14 and many of you came out to enjoy their work. Countless attendees were surprised to learn that 50 some performers spread across 20 front porches turned stage, could generate so much cool vibe. From 1 in the afternoon until 5, the neighborhood streets just north of the Carmel Arts and Design District were void of cars and instead, curb to curb with pedestrians enjoying the music. So thank you for turning out, but even greater thanks to the volunteers who made the event run like clockwork. Heather Ramsey Clark figured out how to get the acts from drop-off to stage back to drop-off with Federal Express precision which only she could understand. Blair Clark and Austin Johnson not only searched high and low for the best free entertainment money could NOT buy but also nurtured them while in Carmel. Justin Moffett
was the man with the porch connections, built the mini-porch and owns a pickup truck. But it was Ron Carter who has the uncanny ability to spot and anticipate choke points and turn potential disaster into no big deal. But wait, there’s more. The volunteers showed up in force to execute the Committee’s well-laid plans. Paul Clore showed up early with Janie Gabinet to assist with preliminary setup. Jon Olson rallied average citizens and turned Dawn Fraley, Jill Gilmer, Pat Pickett, Rosemary and Paxton Waters, Dan Chester, Gary Sexton and Rachel & Bryan Ferry into Band Roadies. Jon & Lynn Bereman, Mark Benedict, Kellie & Mark Timerlake, Bruce Kimball, Chuck & Ally Hook, Debra Woodruff, Pat Schnarr, John Westermeier and Mark Bauer became a precision Band Transport Team. Jody Schmith, Barbara Carter, Sue & Emily Westermeier, Jan Benedict, Karen Glazer, Tiffany Xie, Erin Smith and Nancy Sonntag served proudly as stage managers. Helping you with questions were Brittany, Madison & Diana Hook, Matt Klineman and Jane Reiman. “It Takes a Village” became reality on Sunday in the Village of Carmel, Indiana.

Commentary by Sue FInkam I’d like to take this opportunity to recognize those who helped make our thoughts first ever Carmel PorchFest a very special event: • Heather Clark and her team at Ingredients Design gave the event a fun, quirky, earthy identity, and donated countless hours to the event’s promotion and organization. • Blair Clark and Austin Johnson from Midwest School of Voice recruited, screened and organized all 43 of the awesome musical acts that performed. • Justin Moffett from Old Town Design Group served as our neighborhood liaison, answering questions and finding porches for us to use. He also led the design and build of our award-winning CarmelFest float. • Ron Carter of the Carmel City Council and Jeff Worrell of Good Day Carmel lent their years of experience overseeing the Carmel Farmers Market and CarmelFest, respectively, and were helpful in every aspect of our planning. • Jenny Anderson stepped up to handle all social media promotion for bands, porches and sponsors. • The Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council, led at different times by Jack Langston and Matt
Klineman, provided us with bountiful energy and much needed manpower to promote and staff the event. • Our “Dream Team” volunteers who signed up to be stage managers, roadies and cheerleaders. You rocked the day. • Our porch owners threw out their welcome mats onto gorgeous porches for us to use as performance venues. Thanks for trusting us with your pride and joy. • Our sponsors were our lifeblood and deserve one more mention: Ingredients, Current in Carmel, Old Town Design Group, Alpha Graphics, Graphicon, King Enterprises, Barnes & Thornburg, IU Health North Hospital, Visit Hamilton County, Brian McGuckin Photography and the City of Carmel. But most importantly, I’d like to thank the community at large. Approximately 4,000 of you came out to see what this crazy thing called Carmel PorchFest was all about. You took time out to enjoy all that our community had to offer on a gorgeous September day. We hope that the sights and sounds you experienced on the undiscovered streets of the Arts & Design District helped strengthen your tie to our community. Until next year, Sue Finkam Chair, Carmel PorchFest and Carmel City Council member

The Carmel International Arts Festival is Sept. 27-28 By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com What is art? Art is subjective and objective, personal, political, transformative, debatable, definitive, offensive, lovable, physical, vocal cover story and visual; it’s many different things to most people, but no matter what the form or what the critics say art colors our culture and society. It has also documented the history of mankind since the cavemen picked up a pencil leaving their pictographs behind on walls for the world to discover. Who knows, they could have just been decorating their living rooms, but art paints who we are through the human experience. All arts will collide and surround Carmel Sept. 27-28during the 17th annual Carmel International Arts Festival. The festival will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 27 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 28.

Organizers and Carmelites will celebrate all art forms from more than 130-juried artists that will exhibit paintings, sculptures, dances, music, glass, pottery, jewelry, and photography in both 2D and 3D forms that any art lover will appreciate. Best of all, it is a free event according to Lynda Pitz, CIAF’s publicity chair. “Admission is free as always and last year we had a record-breaking crowd over two days of 30,000 visitors,” Pitz said. “Both days we have booked wonderful entertainment, too.” Dabs of paint will not be the only media on the pallet either. Along with the art of the Renaissance-era and the visual arts, taste buds will dance and sing from the food and drink tickling the pallet with flavors from around the world and right here from Carmel. Along with tempting food vendors, festivalgoers can sample the Arts and Design District’s restaurants and visit all the local shops, which has been elevated and marketed this year. “A very different choice this year which is re-

ally important, is that we limited the number of food trucks and vendors this year, and we did that to promote the restaurants in Carmel,” Pitz said. “We have such different flavors right in Carmel so the restaurants can offer guests their special fare, provided they are current on their food permits and in compliance with all board of health regulations.” And this festival is entitled to use “international” in its name, as the cuisine is worldly. “There will be food from all over the world, Asian, Greek, African, Italian, you name it,” Pitz said. “When I first brought my girls here we had Greek, Chinese and African food, they did origami, they watched Japanese dancers…it’s a great family event.” More than 200 artists from Georgia, Wisconsin and right here in Indiana entered to be able to display their goods for only 130 spots in the juried festival.

art activities, including Hamsa Hands, stylized by children, where they draw their hands,” Pitz said. “The children draw and color on them, and they are used in Judaism, Islam and Christianity.” Different from other festivals “This is a very walkable festival and parking is also free in the neighborhoods, and at the high school with free shuttles,” Pitz said. “It’s just a comfortable festival.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
As the NFL Turns: The Peterson episode The weekly drama series that is the National Football League has released a new episode. The plot goes like this (stay with us): All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings is said to have punished his child May 18 with a switch, causing lacerations and bruising. Then on Aug. 21, Peterson testifies in front of a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas. On Sept. 4 the grand jury decides not to indict Peterson. Then on Sept. 11, Peterson misses practice for what his coach terms a “veteran day” off. Come Sept. 12, Peterson is indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child in Montgomery County and less than half an hour later the team deactivates him for one game. On Sept. 13, he turns himself in to Montgomery County authorities and is released on $15,000 bond. On Sept. 15, Peterson releases a statement on child abuse charges. Later that day, he is reinstated to the team, because he was just “disciplining a child.” Later that evening, a previous allegation of child abuse by Peterson is reported. He was not charged in the incident. On Sept. 16, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says Peterson is innocent until proven guilty, but his actions are “a public embarrassment” to Minnesota and suggests that the running back be suspended. Sponsors adjourn their support of the team, and rightly so. It looks like he is out indefinitely until the case is resolved, and with the photos we’ve seen it will be resolved in not a good way for Peterson. No one is more concerned about child abuse than we are. We also believe in due process. This is no rush to judgment, in our opinion, although that runs rampant no matter the topic. If Peterson is convicted for the purported abuse, he will pay many times over. Will this be an example for others contemplating such levels of punishment? No, sadly, it won’t. There’s a liberal element of pop culture that simply accepts it, which is just as sad. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Hong Kong, phooey Commentary by Terry Anker He introduced himself when we met, but I didn’t bother to commit his name to memory. Sharing a ride to the airport, the chance we’d meet again after this 45 minutes was likely zero; yet he seemed in the mood to talk. I don’t know if it was the way I reacted to what he said or simply the fact that I seemed willing to listen, but this young stranger started telling me his story. We were in his native city of Hong Kong and he loved it. He married a local girl and had two children, now 4 and 5 years-old. In a place where multiple kids are rare, he took pride that he could support and raise them. He wasn’t particularly well educated or even especially special. But he held a couple of jobs and seemed willing to do more if he could to help give his family an advantage. His wife, he beamed, was the same. They owned a small apartment and sent their children to a private school. But now they had become so concerned of
the increasing “destruction” of his city by their new Chinese overlords that they are hoping to send these children to live with relatives in Canada. The conflict of a loving father caring so deeply and fearing so much that he is wrestling with such matters weighed upon him. We talked. Really, I just listened. When our time together ended, he regained himself, apologized for oversharing (in a characteristic Asia way) and shook my hand expressing sincere gratitude for my attention. Did I say anything to help him with his challenges? I doubt it. But, did his venting give him clarity? I hope so. His sadness, frustration, and compassion were breathtaking in their raw sincerity. Our freedom matters. And, he reminded me of it. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Of whom am I thinking? They’re fond of acronyms like NSDA, IHSFA, and NFL, and use words like “interp,” “extemp,” and “sweepstakes.” They spend their Saturhumor days participating in events like LD and OO and measure their success in points and diamonds. And they are VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT THEY DO! Any guesses? Anyone? They are speech and debaters, my friends, and now yours truly is one too! I know, I know. What’s a ginger, motherof-four math guru doing dabbling in such unchartered territory? To be truthful, I didn’t actually mean to get so involved. I thought I was applying for an “assistant” position only to discover after I’d accepted that the head coach had already backed out. The ole bait and switch, really. (Or, de bate and speech. Get it? I’m funny!) Not a big deal, I suppose, except that I have absolutely no experience whatsoever. And that’s not an exaggeration. We didn’t have a speech or debate team at my high school, and I never took part in college. I’m not even an English teacher, for God’s sake. Seriously, I feel like a cheerleader who’s just been named the new offensive coordinator for the Colts when all I wanted to do was shake poms at halftime! What’s worse, I have no predecessor, nor a team to inherit. So not only am I totally clueless on the rules, regulations, and various distinctions of the 18 available events, I’m also having to recruit members, round up judges, register with the national and state associations, plan meaningful practices, and obtain a license to drive the stupid mini-bus! Consequently, I spent the past weekend hob-nobbing with Indiana’s brightest and finest at the annual S&D coaches conference, attempting to absorb enough know-how to ensure my 10 [brave] students don’t puke, pass out or completely embarrass themselves at the first competition. Not sure whether it was a success. I did learn a lot of useful information, not the least of which was that if swim meets and dances competitions had a love child, she’d be named Speech and Debate Tournaments. But the rest was simply overwhelming. The good news is that I do know how to speak and argue (mostly without a Kentucky accent), and from time to time, I can pen some decent material. So maybe I’ll be OK. The NSDA might even award me a diamond for my work with interpers! Peace out.

During my tenure as clerk-treasurer, we have worked together to raise the standards of fiscal transparency and financial reporting. In 2000, we implemented a “laserfiche” system of digital documentation, enabling citizens to access Carmel’s public documents and dramatically increasing transparency in Carmel government. Between 1998 & 2008, we were honored to earn the “Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting” for our work, as well as receiving the Financial Management Award by the Indiana Association of Cities & Towns, as well as becoming IACT President in 2013 – only the eighth female to lead IACT in its 122-year history. In addition, I have served on the National League of Cities “Finance, Administration & Governmental Relations Committee” and was the first clerk-treasurer ever to become its chair. I have decided to offer myself as candidate for clerk-treasurer because I have at least one more
goal to accomplish. Democracy cannot exist without transparency. In 2013 the Carmel City Council entrusted me with the task of improving the transparency of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. Since January 2013, my staff and I have worked vigilantly to scan literally tens of thousands of CRC documents into “laserfiche” making some of those documents publicly accessible for the first time, ever. We have more work to do to improve that transparency. I have been honored to receive your support in the past, and I hope that I have performed in a fashion worthy of the honor and trust that you have so generously given to me. Moreover, I hope that you consider my efforts as Carmel’s Clerk-Treasurer worthy of your continued support. Public transparency and professional fiscal management are critical to our future as a community, and it is my sincerest goal to continue to maintain the highest of standards in both. With your support, we can succeed together.
Diana Cordray is the Carmel ClerkTreasurer. You may contact her at diana@dianacordray.com

Computers, Christmas, chaos in Belfry opener
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville will revive six of its rarer shows from its history including the opening theater production “The Desk Set.” “It’s a little exciting and a little intimidating. Fifty years is a big deal. We’re been doing them for a long time. You want to do it right and do right by everyone so they are glad we are still here and glad they came,” director Christy Clinton said. “The Desk Set” was previously performed in 1983 and Clinton directed by Betty Lou Kyle. “There’s not many people around that saw the first show. ‘The Desk Set’ was popular in its time,” Clinton said. “I kind of like that it’s old fashioned. It’s a three-act play instead of modern day two acts … There’s a lot of creativity going into this. Nobody’s holding anything back.” The play is set in the ’50s. “It brings that era home in ways that are fun and broad,” Clinton said. “The second act is a Christmas party full of alcohol and food. They’re off in other offices dancing and partying. I can’t remember the last time I heard of such a party in
an office … It’s fun to see those old ways.” Clinton said the crux of the story is about the first computer coming in and changing the workplace. “The office life was very different from today, not only because of computers but also social norms. It is interesting to see all the things that would absolutely not happen today,” said actress Sarah Baron. “One of my favorite things about playing a ’50s era piece is the attire, the silhouettes and accessories are so much fun.” Baron, who plays Bunny Watson, said the show contains many different characters that are very relatable and have aspects that remind her of her own past and present co-workers. “The other thing about this show that makes it a lot of fun to see is the difference between then and now where computers are involved. Today computers are so much a part of everyday life you forget they were not always warmly welcomed,” she said. Actor John Parks Whitaker said the prophetic nature of the subject matter is fascinating. “The play wasn’t written recently about the past. It was written contemporaneously about computers taking over offices and the panic it caused,” he said. “William Marchant managed to find the lighter side and put together a great comedy about the process.”
Whitaker plays the male lead, Richard Sumner. “My character is fun to play because he starts off on such a high horse and has a long way to fall when things start not going his way,” he said. Clinton’s cast includes a number of seasoned actors and a few making their debut like Joe Mize as a reporter and Richard Sceniak as a photographer. “Richard said he might want to try sometime. When he heard there was a part with no lines he said, ‘That’s right up my alley. I want to try that,’” Clinton said. Other members of “The Desk Set” cast include: Debbie Underwood (Sadel Meyer), Dana Lesh (Peg Costello), Katie Gipson (Ruthie Saylor), Jeff Bick (Abe Cutler), Curtis Bittle (Mr. Bennett), Barb Weaver (The Lady in the Blue Suit), Michael Tooker (Kenny), Valerie Pearce (Elsa), Justin Hoggard (Elsa’s friend), Fran Knapp (Miss Warriner), Deb Coon and M.J.

I knew with the great acoustics at the Palladium it was going to be a great night when “Ladies and gentlemen, Willie Nelson” was spoken with such clarity that I knew the ensuing concert (on Sept. 15) would be awesome, and it was. Even in his 80s, the man still can play guitar like no other, and I loved that he played a lot of his songs he wrote for other people and jammed out three Hank Williams songs: “Jambalaya,” “Hey Good Lookin’”and “Move it on Over.” I must admit, you walk into the Palladium and its beauty can overwhelm you a bit so you wouldn’t think a honky-tonk man would be seen in such a nice venue. Still, it was a wonderful treat to sit in such close proximity with friends, customers and neighbors to enjoy a show with such a classic icon without drunks screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs –that is, except for me; I couldn’t help but yell out a “hell, yeah” after one of his guitar solos, so I apologize to the couple in front of me.
I found the staff to be very kind and professional with all guests and attendant to people’s needs; it’s not like other venues, where you are shoved along so not to bother anyone. Once again the venue and artist of all artists came together to make a great night in Carmel, where we just continue to grow into a destination city where you can do it all.

We’re calling it our “ZPAC Presents” series. In adding this new feature to an already busy schedule, we are now more fully aligning with the stated mission of Zionsville Performing Arts Center – ‘The ZPAC mission is to support the performing arts through a venue to explore performance opportunities, educational activities for Zionsville students and community members, or civic events.’ It’s exciting to be a part of this thriving arts venue, and we hope that our new programming engages folks in such ways as to enhance our community.” The first big show that will premiere is the performance of singer Danny Gokey Oct. 10. This concert will start at 7 p.m., and will be opened by singer Brianna Caprice. “Many may remember Danny from his stint on Fox’s hit show ‘American Idol.’ Danny was on the eighth season of that show, and has since gone on to a very successful vocal career. At this moment, Danny Gokey sits at the top of Billboard’s

Hunt Construction helps to clothe kids Commentary by Tonya Burton
The Scoop: How about this: a small, casual, old-fashioned restaurant that serves traditional hotdogs in fun, family oriented atmosphere? If that sounds good to you, then Zacky’s is just the place for you. A wide range of hotdogs prepared in a variety of ways fills the Zacky’s menu. Not into hotdogs? That’s OK, because Zacky’s also offers barbecue items such as ribs, brisket and Italian beef. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out Zacky’s combos and kids’ menu.
Type of food: Hotdogs, Barbecue Price of entrees: $2 to $6 Dress: Casual

Few things pull at the heartstrings as much as stories of making children happy, particularly, children in need. The Assistance League of Indianapolis has been helping clothe grade school children for 30 years, serving more than 45,000 children during that time under the Operation School Bell arm of the organization. As Barbara Kulsrud, member of AL, said: “For many of these children, it’s the first time they’ve ever had new clothes, and it’s the first time they’ve ever been able to choose their own.” Under this program, assistance is provided to children who live under the poverty line. The goal is not only to clothe the child, but to also build confidence. After receiving his new clothes, a recipient named Eric, stated in the Operation School Bell Community Newsletter: “Thank you I have had a rough week with bullying. Things haven’t been well since my mom died but knowing someone cares makes me feel a little better.” Hunt Construction Group, Inc., which is responsible for many impressive skyline buildings in Indianapolis, including JW Marriott, Lucas Oil Stadium, Conrad Hotel and Bankers Life Fieldhouse, designated a good-sized portion of the proceeds of the annual golf outing on Sept. 11 to Operation School Bell. This year, the outing held at Eagle Creek Golf Club, raised more than $25,500 for the program. Although the day was
windy and chilly, golfers enjoyed the event, with 180 in attendance. AL, the all-volunteer organization, and Hunt Construction were well represented. Among the many in attendance were: Kathy Kerr Wylam, Cindee Potterage, Andrea Arbore, and Barbara Kulsrud, (my golf cart driver – good job!). Also in attendance were Laura Sanfrey, Judy Powell, Rose Conrad, and Nancy Bennett, all AL members. Leslie Pascoe, Barbara Diehl, Norma Hodges and Linda Buckner also represented AL. Margaret Lawrence assisted Doban Philippe of Granite City Food and Brewery, in serving Bock style beer to golfers. Carol Blanchard and Kelli Ellison from Carmel, also members of AL, drove the beverage cart. Gloria Slama and Barb Zurek, president of AL, helped supervise the proceedings. Julie Yates, public relations liaison, bravely served as lookout, standing on the back of the press golf cart. Among the many Hunt representatives were: Brian Woods and Pam McNealy, co-chairs of the event, and Eric Shreiner of Greenwood.

In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find the time to do everything you need to accomplish in a single day. Wellness Between working, commuting, making time for family and friends, exercising, eating healthy, and still squeezing in time for fun and relaxation, it’s easy to start cutting out sleep as a time management technique. While depriving yourself of sleep may give you the time to catch up on your favorite TV shows, it can also have negative effects on your overall health. • Premature aging. Sleep deprivation affects the body in a way that is similar to aging. Insufficient sleep causes the body to release the stress hormone cortisol, which can prematurely age your skin over a prolonged period of time. Sleep loss also reduces the amount of human growth hormone (HGH) that your body produces, which helps to maintain your skin and muscle mass. Less HGH means that your body is less able to repair its tissues and keep your skin looking youthful. • Chronic illness. Chronic lack of sleep can
increase your risk for a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. In particular, lack of sleep dramatically increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. Not getting enough sleep can also weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to seasonal illnesses like colds and the flu. • Weight gain. On top of everything else, chronic sleep deprivation can also cause weight gain. Sleep-deprived people tend to crave high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods, and their bodies have a harder time regulating appetite. If you have been wearing your lack of sleep like a badge of honor and claiming that you “can sleep when you’re dead,” it may be time to find a new motto. Getting sufficient sleep is a critical component of a healthy lifestyle.

Reindeer room revealed news@currentzionsville.com In 2007, parents Troy and Jennifer Carolan were at their 20-week appointment at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital when they discovered their second baby, Jolie, Philanthropy would be born with congenital scoliosis, a rare condition consisting of an extra vertebra in the spine. In addition, Jolie suffered multiple Ventricular Septal Defects, commonly known as holes in the heart, kidney reflux and a pelvic kidney. At the time of Jolie’s birth, Jennifer Carolan worked at Reindeer Auto Relocation in Zionsville. The company historically selected a charity each year to support during the Christmas season. In 2008, in support of the Carolan family, Reindeer Auto Relocation decided to throw a Christmas party for patient families at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. Since then, the relationship between the auto relocating company and the faith-based children’s hospital has grown. Reindeer Auto Relocation, whose CEO is Tim Donnar, hosts several themed parties each year for families whose children are hospitalized at the children’s hospital. In addition, the Donnar family organizes an annual fundraising event, The Donnar Memorial Golf Outing, which has supported various programs and initiatives at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent since 2008. Reindeer Auto Relocation has raised more than $175,000 for the children’s hospital

Carmel home prices rise Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $176,835 in August 2014, home sales prices are up 6.7 percent compared to August 2013. Hamilton County was real estate among the counties that experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first eight months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. On average, homes sold for $268,408. • In Carmel, the average year-to-date sale price in August was $347,729, an increase of 9.4 percent compared to the same time period last year. • Inventory is moving fast. Last month, homes in Carmel remained on the market an average of 66 days which is a decrease of 10 days from August 2013. • The number of homes for sale in Carmel remains steady. In August 2014, 583 homes were on the market, a modest increase of five homes compared to August 2013.
• P ended home sales experienced a decrease in Carmel. Last month, 113 homes pended, a decrease of 25 homes from August 2013. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 14 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 39 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 29 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 24 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and five were priced at $99,999 or less. This year’s sales are healthy although they appear sluggish compared to last year, which was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. Even as sales typically slow during autumn and winter months, we believe the Central Indiana housing market will remain strong on balance. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey (Photo by Don Knebel)
Blue Mosque: Domes and eggs Commentary by Don Knebel
The Blue Mosque is one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist destinations, often seen as an example of classic Islamic architectravel ture. Like other domed mosques, its design actually mimics a famous church. But its pest control system is undeniably novel. Ahmed I became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1603, at age 13. After a series of military setbacks, Ahmed sought God’s favor by building a mosque in Istanbul to rival the one built in 1558 by Suleiman the Magnificent, his much more successful predecessor. Like Suleiman, Ahmed modeled his mosque on Hagia Sophia, built as a church by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in 537 A.D. and later converted to a mosque by adding a mihrab in the direction of Mecca and minarets. Ahmed’s architects lacked the skill (or courage) of those of Justinian, who imaginatively supported the massive dome of Hagia Sophia on its exterior walls. The smaller dome of Ahmed’s mosque is supported on four interior columns derided as “elephant legs.” Light from more than 200 stained glass windows is supplemented by ornate chandeliers holding uncooked ostrich eggs intended to repel spiders and prevent unsightly webs.
Ahmed surrounded his mosque with six needle-shaped minarets carrying a total of sixteen balconies honoring him as the 16th sultan. When Islamic authorities in Mecca learned of the minarets, two more than around both Hagia Sophia and Suleiman’s mosque, they were outraged. The Great Mosque in Mecca had six minarets and, as the holiest place in Islam, was not to be outranked in the minaret department. Ahmed reportedly solved the problem by financing the construction of a seventh minaret in Mecca. Ahmed died at age 27, a year after completion of his mosque, and was interred in a mausoleum just outside the walls. Although his mosque is officially known as the “Sultan Ahmed Mosque,” it is popularly known as the “Blue Mosque” because of 20,000 handmade blue and white tiles in 50 different designs adorning its interior. Still used by Muslim worshippers, the Blue Mosque is open to the public except during daily prayers. Visitors can see for themselves if the ostrich eggs really work.

Free rein or free reign? Commentary by Jordan Fischer
WICKLIFF A U C T I O N E E R S
used as a verb to mean “to have control or rule?” Why aren’t they interchangeable? The simple answer is: Because that’s not where the expression came from. A longer and perhaps more elucidative answer is that “reign” may only be used as an intransitive verb – that is to say, you don’t reign something, you simply reign. “Rein,” on the other hand, may be used transitively or intransitively, which allows us to have the direct object we need for the expressions to make sense (ex. “We reined in our out-of-control budget.”). The takeaway from this is that you don’t need to remember all the transitive/intransitive stuff, you only need to remember that, when it comes to the expressions “free rein” and “to rein in,” it’s always “rein.”
Question: “Dear Grammar Guy: I got burned the other day trying to use the expression ‘free reign’ – or, rather, grammar guy ‘free rein,’ as one of my friends snidely pointed out. Which is the correct version? ‘Free reign’ makes sense to me.” Answer: Alas, dear reader, I’m sorry to say your friend has the correct answer on this one. I see where your confusion may be coming from, though. There are two expressions to consider here: “to give free rein” and “to rein in.” Both come from horseback riding, where reins are used to control and guide the horse (along with a riding crop and possibly a carrot and stick, depending upon the metaphor at hand). In our expressions above, we understand the reins to be figurative: they are a metaphor for power and control. But does “reign” not mean “dominating power or influence?” Can it not be

Home surrounds and budget influence the fire feature that best suits your outdoor living space. (Submitted photo)
Adding a spark to fire features Commentary by Randy Sorrell Outdoor fire features are like well-planned granite kitchen counters, they are a destination for guests to gather around. outdoors And, it doesn’t matter if a fire is roaring or cooking taking place. They are fun magnets for gathering and entertaining. Fortunately there are accommodating styles with moderating price points and we appreciate them all. Let your jazzed passion, home surrounds and budget influence the feature that best suits your outdoor living space. From the simple $100 fire bowls to formal outdoor fireplaces that generally start at $15,000 and quickly escalate with any customization. Boulder and natural stone fire features are some of our favorites. They feel genuine, echoing nature and the highly textured surrounds of outside. The pictured fire feature resides in Carmel and was constructed with Chocolate natural stone with cut edges and consistent thickness. Capped with Tennessee Valley flagstone, its oversized dimension meets the ambitious homeowner
“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.
WE MOV ’VE ED!
demand for large gatherings with space around for sitting, smoking cigars and enjoying the golf course view. A definite “Carpe Diem” space. To ensure your fire feature is safe, take the following steps: • Never leave the fire unattended. • Establish a child safety zone around the edge. • Check for low hanging branches nearby and prune. • Build fire features at least 10 feet from your home. • Keep a fire extinguisher or hose convenient. • Completely extinguish before leaving. Let this fall season be one where we intentionally gather to appreciate the outdoors, family, neighbors and autumn’s brilliant display of colors. Schedule a cookout. Light a fire. Enjoy the outdoors like never before. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

Remodel-industry secrets add value to your investment Commentary by David Decker While remodels come with considerable costs, the long-term gains can be significant both in quality of life and financial gain. indoors This is about creating and adding financial value to your home. You want to make strategic renovations that will keep your home competitive when compared to other options in the same market, especially if you are planning to sell it in the near future. Notice the aforementioned word “strategic.” Financially, it’s best to invest in home renovations that will help your home fall within an acceptable price range for the market. Too few updates, and your home won’t have the wow factor many buyers are looking for. Too many updates, and your home will not fit the price of comparable properties in the area, and it may become difficult to sell. It’s all about balancing the factors, so that the end product is a beautiful home that fits the price demands of prospective buyers. Planning a strategic remodel requires research and product knowledge. We all know that the end goal is to create value, which is determined in dollars. But there is another concept that I like to focus on, “perceived value.” Consider: • Oftentimes it is possible to find lowercost products that look as impressive and perform as well as their more costly counterparts. Buyers are unable to tell the difference.
When using hardwood, expand it as far as your budget will allow is one way to increase the perceived value of your remodel. (Submitted photo)
• First impressions matter. • Get to know your segment of potential buyers. A Baby Boomer is going to look for different things in a home than a Gen Xer. • Research the type of buyers moving in your area and try to make choices that will fit
that group’s needs. • Never use inferior products or sacrifice quality by cutting corners. You want lasting value with a remodel. • Researching prices, materials and new solutions before you install is absolutely worth the added planning. This is where the help of a professional remodeling team can be invaluable. The investment of collaborating with professional designers is worth it in the end. The Affordable Companies is rehabbing a Carmel “investment” home, a project we’ve titled “The Kingswood Transformation.” We’ve worked hard to put all of the advice I’ve just given into practical use. Beginning Sept. 28, the home will be open to the public, so home and real estate investors will be able to view the remodeling project in its entirety. Visit the website: http:// the-affordablecompanies.com/kingswoodtransformation or plan to attend our upcoming open house to spark ideas on ways that you, too, can create value in your current home or investment property. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
