Council approves funding for hotel, excludes carousel By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After months of discussion, the Carmel City Council on Sept. 18 approved $96 million city council in bonds that will pay for a cityowned boutique hotel, new roundabouts and multi-use paths but does not include funding for an antique carousel originally proposed in the bond package. The city is paying $10 million to lure a four-star Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel that the city would co-own with Pedcor Companies. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission will help pay nearly $40 million in construction costs and back up the mortgage loan payments. Councilor Jeff Worrell, who voted in support of the hotel but not the carousel, said that in addition to attracting guests from out of town, the hotel will be a valuable amenity for Carmel residents. “A large number of users will come from the Carmel ZIP codes and will
never press the up button on the elevator past the second floor,” he said. “Can this hotel become an adult gathering place? A place to see your neighbors and associates in an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city?” Councilors Tony Green and Laura Campbell expressed concerns about the hotel, which is planned to include a fine dining restaurant and nightclub, and voted against funding it. “We’re jumping in with two feet to ownership. We’re jumping in to the market,” Green said. “As a matter of policy that’s generally not the way government should be operating.” Campbell said she did not support the city competing with private hotels. “I don’t think we should compete with other businesses, not only for customers but for employees,” she said. Councilor Ron Carter spoke in favor of the hotel and urged the council to keep funding for the carousel in the bonds. Councilor Bruce Kimball joined Carter in supporting the carousel, but they did not have the votes to override a motion to remove it.
Toronto councilor wants to keep carousel Even though the Carmel City Council stripped funding for a 1907 handcarved Dentzel carousel from the $71 million bond package it approved, Mayor Jim Brainard has said he wants to find another way to bring it to the city. Those plans could be in jeopardy, however, as Toronto City Councillor Paula Fletcher is planning in October to ask the Toronto City Council to keep the carousel at the Centreville Island, where it has been since 1966. She launched a petition at change. org called “Save Centreville Carousel.” It had nearly 850 supporters as
of Sept. 22. “The Centreville carousel is one of only a handful of Dentzel Menagerie Carousels left in the world and the only one left in Canada,” the petition states. “This hand-carved antique carousel with its pigs, ostriches, cats and rabbits has delighted thousands of children for over half a century and is an important part of Toronto Island which is the number one destination park for tourists in our city. I hope City Council will agree to preserve this heritage asset in our city so it can continue to bring joy to future generations.”
Golf carts allowed on some city streets By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council unanimously went against the opinion of a city attorney by approving an ordinance Sept. 18 that allows golf city council carts to be operated on some city roads. City attorney Ashley Ulbricht said she is concerned that Carmel’s ordinance conflicts with state law by requiring golf carts to include safety features, such as headlights, seat belts, turn signals and a rearview mirror. If a golf cart operator received a Ulbricht ticket under Carmel’s new law, he or she could potentially sue the city because of the conflict, Ulbricht has said. The city council has discussed the issue for more than a year and asked state representatives Jerry Torr and Donna Schaibley to seek the opinion of Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill on the proposed ordinance. In February, Hill wrote in his official opinion that the Indiana Legislature intended to de-regulate golf carts at the state level and give local municipalities ability to regulate them as they see fit. “In this matter, the municipality is engaged in the reasonable exercise of its police power to ensure the safe operation of golf carts on its local streets and roadways,” Hill stated in the opinion. “This does not run afoul of existing statutory provisions.” Ulbricht did not express concerns with any other aspects of the ordinance, which include: • Proof that at least 65 percent of residents in an HOA-controlled neighborhood voted in favor of allowing golf carts within the neighborhood. • Prohibiting them on roads with a speed limit above 25 mph. • Requiring operators to have a valid driver’s license • Requiring operators to obtain an annual permit for $50 from the Carmel Police Dept. • Requiring inspection of the golf cart. • Prohibiting children weighing less than 48 pounds who require a child safety restraint from riding. • Requiring seat belts to be used while in operation. A first offense can result in a fine of $100, while second offenses within a year have a fine of $250. A third offense within a year also carries a $250 fine and automatic revocation of the golf cart permit.

One dead in crash By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A woman from India who was visiting family in Carmel died Sept. 15 as the result of a vehicle accident in northeast Zionsville. Lavanya Bandaram, 42, of Accident Carmel was driving a Honda CRV with her mother, Padmavathy Bandaram, 62, in the passenger seat and son, Miland Chegu, 11, in the back seat when the vehicle crossed into the path of a Mack dump truck. Police said the driver of the dump truck, David M. Johnson, 43, Indianapolis, was unable to stop and hit the Honda on the passenger side. The car bounced off the front of the truck and struck a utility pole at the intersection, according to the Boone County Sherriff’s Office. Padmavathy Bandaram was pronounced dead at the scene. Her daughter was taken to St. Vincent, where she was in good condition after two surgeries. Chegu was airlifted to Riley Hospital for Children. He is expected to have a six-week recovery after having surgery on his left arm. Johnson was not injured. Toxicology and alcohol screening results are pending for both drivers, according to BCSO.

The city has received more than a dozen remonstrance letters, many from residents of Applewood Estates, which is south of the proposed rezoning area. Their concerns include decreased privacy, additional traffic in an already congested area, the appearance of the townhomes compared to other single family homes in the area and other issues.

Firefighter helps hurricane vicitims By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com For Whitestown firefighter Clint Crafton, helping evacuate and assist victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas task force 1 was among the most challenging things he’s done in 23 years working in public safety. “This is the hardest I’ve ever worked,” Crafton said. “What we walked into and what we left behind were a day and night Crafton difference.” The Carmel resident was among 14 members of Indiana Task Force 1 deployed to Houston as part of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue program Aug. 27 to Sept. 6 to assist with rescue efforts after the devastation of the hurricane. The team was comprised of firefighters from across the state, including members of the Greenfield, Indianapolis and Carmel fire departments. Crafton has been a members of Indiana Task Force 1 for 12 years. Originally, team members thought they would focus on water rescues, but they were assigned to evacuate 4,000 to 6,000 people from three flooded evacuation centers. Indiana Task Force 1, along with the Nevada, California and Colorado task forces, began moving evacuees to the Jack Brooks Regional Airport near Port Arthur, Texas. Along with the Texas National Guard, Indiana Task Force 1 moved 2,500 people from the airport to the super evacuation center in Dallas via a 60-passenger, C130 cargo plane. Indiana Task Force 1 assisted with pro-

cessing and tracking people, confiscating firearms, assisting those with medical needs, gathering donations of Pedialyte for babies and transporting evacuees to the new facility. Crafton said the community support and outpouring of donations was breathtaking. The airport quickly became a makeshift donation center. “The biggest lesson I learned was just the amazing community spirit and the people that came from everywhere to help their neighbors that they’ve never met,” Crafton said. The task force also spent two days doing secondary surveys throughout rural Jefferson County. The team was tasked with searching for, assisting and rescuing people stranded after the hurricane. It also helped two ranchers rescue a calf stuck in deep water, saved several dogs and checked on and kept records of community members who did not evacuate.

Winter market to move, expand By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Winter Market still will be filled with locally grown food, seasonal treats and specialty relocation items. But this year, the market will move to a new location and start earlier in the season. Ron Carter, president of the Carmel Farmers Market, said the changes were prompted by growth and the community’s desire for a more centralized location. The market will move from Founder’s Park to what has been dubbed “The Wire Factory,” the former home of Woods Wire, 510 3rd Ave SW. The new site is three blocks north of the Center Green, home of the summer market. The new site will allow the
market to double the number of vendors. Vendors new to the winter market include The Walking Waffle, Dandy Breeze Creamery, Circle City Sweets, Old Major, Circle City Kombucha, Café Baby to Go, Red Frazier Bison and Guacamole and More. The market will begin two weeks earlier on Oct. 21 and run through Feb. 24. It will be closed Dec. 23 and 30. Hours are Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. The market features a wide array of items that are hand-picked by the all-volunteer committee, including gifts, chocolate, casseroles, Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas hams, soups and seasonal items, including greenery from Wild Flower Farms.

Students take ‘Buddies’ to dance By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com
Carmel High School ended the 2017 homecoming festivities with the annual homecoming dance, high school but this year was different for Jenni Hadden. Her 15-year-old son was able to enjoy the dance, which is something she never thought would happen. Hadden’s son, Charlie, is a freshman who was diagnosed with schizencephaly and cerebral palsy as an infant. Schizencephaly is a rare brain disorder that can cause a delay in physical and cognitive development as well as seizures and more. Charlie was adopted at birth and diagnosed at 9 months old. While in elementary school, Charlie became involved in Best Buddies and has participated every year. Best Buddies pairs students with disabilities with a student who provides mentorship, friendship and opportunities to get involved in school activities. This year, Charlie was paired with Halle Throgmorton. “I just have never met a kid like her,” Hadden said. “She’s been through some trials of her own medically, and because of that, I think it’s helped her to see the need for helping people that can’t help themselves. She’s just a firecracker.” During spirit day at school, Throgmorton dressed up as Minnie Mouse and went to Charlie’s classroom to ask him to be her “Mickey” so she could take him to the dance. Halle invited him to her house for photos and dinner before the dance. “We thought it would be a perfect opportunity because a lot of my friends wanted

to go,” Throgmorton said. “We thought what a better way to have an amazing time and bring our Best Buddies and all go in together.” Hadden said she was a bit leery only because Charlie has specific, serious care needs and didn’t want him to be the only student with disabilities at the dance. She felt relieved when she showed up at Halle’s house and saw all of Charlie’s classmates with special needs were there as well. “To see (his mom) have such a reaction of gratefulness, it was a little bit surprising to me because I had just as amazing of a time as Charlie,” Throgmorton said. Hadden said not many people know how to talk to students with disabilities or want to be involved, so the experience was a surprise blessing. “To have these 16-year-old kids volunteer to forego their own homecoming night to help these kids was just overwhelming,” Hadden said. “It was just a beautiful thing.”

Carmel Clay Schools Supt. Nicholas Wahl wants students in his district to be prepared for life way beyond Education high school. Wahl joined Hamilton Southeastern Supt. Allen Bourff in giving a state of their schools presentation Sept. 13 at a OneZone luncheon at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel. “When we meet with our (state) legislators, we talk about keeping our best and brightest in Indiana,” said Wahl, who became CCS superintendent in 2013. “It’s a continued challenge. We want to make sure in our public schools we want to do what we can to get our best and brightest to stay in in Indiana. Sixty-five percent of today’s children will be in careers that don’t even exist today. We want to give them the skill sets so they can matriculate in whatever that career may be, even if that career doesn’t exist today. The skill set is key. Today’s students will get 10 to 14 jobs by age 38.” Wahl used an example of a Carmel Clay Schools employee being at the same job for

34 years. “Those days in the workplace are not ahead of them,” said Wahl, referring to today’s students. “So they need to not only have the skill set, but they need to have the flexibility and the personal skills to adjust to the job market.” Wahl said CCS is a very student-centered

district. “We talk about student learning and operations and how we organize the environment,” Wahl said. “We’ve looked at the organization of our middle school since I’ve been there. This year we are looking at elementary structure and the high school structure. We’re looking at flexible scheduling options to get our students prepared for the next step. We look at a growth mindset.” Wahl said the district gets questions all the time about the district’s ISTEP scores. “We’re proud of our scores, but those are a static test in time,” Wahl said. “We look at growth. Our measure is how the students are doing when they walk into our classroom, how they are doing in the mid-year and how are they doing at the end of the year. We have a growth mindset we think mirrors the workplace.” There are more than 150 student-generated clubs for high school students. “If students at the secondary level are engaged in one meaningful activity outside the classroom, their student achievement level goes up,” Wahl said. “At Carmel, there is an amazing amount of opportunity for kids to follow their passion.”

While working on his master’s degree at The Citadel in international politics and military affairs, Christian giving back Simon was surrounded by military personnel at the Charleston, S.C. college. “In my program we had a lot of ex-Marines, ex-Army and military personnel, and getting to know their personal stories and what they endured throughout their time in Iraq and Afghanistan was absolutely incredible,” said Simon, a 2012 Zionsville Community High School graduate. “They also told me about suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).” Simon said his parents taught him to have great respect for veterans. “I thought at some point, I’d like to give back to these veterans who carry a burden that, quite frankly, us ordinary citizens can never understand,” he said. Simon decided to raise money for the PTSD Foundation of America by contributing $30 personally for each CrossFit challenge he completed in a 24-hour period at the Fitness Garage in Carmel. Simon raised $4,125 by completing 12 rounds through personal

and other donations. Simon had seen a YouTube video of a
59-year-old man completing a “Murph,” named for Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan. Murphy was killed in action by Taliban forces in 2005. From 9 a.m. Sept. 6 to 9 a.m. Sept. 7, Simon’s “Murph” routine consisted of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and another 1-mile run at the end. The totals were 24 miles run, 1,200 pullups, 2,400 push-ups and 3,600 squats. He wore a 20-pound weighted vest for the first seven rounds, then a 10-pound vest for round eight and then dropped the vest for the last four rounds because he was concerned about tearing a bicep. “It was intense, I’m not going to lie,” Simon said. “I would take a 45-minute break and then do another round. I tried to space it out so I got some food in me and water and refueled. I was consistent for the first six or seven hours. Then I hit a wall and needed a little more time.” Simon began to take longer breaks between rounds. “As much pain as you go through, you realize people that suffer from PTSD go through so much more every single day,” Simon said.

Woman advocates for families in transition By Heather Lusk news@currentincarmel.com When Cindy Ramsey was faced with moving her parents into an assisted living facility, she wasn’t sure seniors where to turn. “We talked to a lot of our friends in the same boat, and the key is how you get started with something like this,” she said. She and her husband, Don Ramsey, who live in Carmel, met with an elder law attorney who suggested they contact Lona Newton to help guide them through the process. Newton, a Zionsville resident, spent several years in sales and marketing for senior living communities until she saw the need to advocate for families searching for assisted living. “People would walk into my office and be overwhelmed,” Newton said. “They had to place their loved one and just didn’t know what to do or where to go.” Two years ago, Newton started her own company, Senior Living Advisor, to provide guidance and help families make the best decisions for loved ones. Although most of her business is in Car-
Robert Lewis Camp, of Carmel, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, September 15, 2017. Bob spent his life in Carmel building custom homes from 1995-2007. Before moving to Carmel, Bob did commercial building work. Some of his favorite projects included Hicks Underground Library at Purdue University and the First State Bank Building in Abilene, Texas. When Bob was not building, he enjoyed golf, working crosswords, and being with his family. In his later life, Bob spent most of his time with his wife, Marilyn. He continued dreaming up homes in his office, enjoyed the Game Show Network, and was an avid fan of Carmel Performing Arts and Purdue Musical Organizations. Bob is survived by his wife, Marilyn, daughter, Cheryl, granddaughter and best friend, Katie, and sister and brother-in-law Wanshula and Jim Paxton (Albuquerque, NM). Due to his wishes, there will be no services. Arrangements by Indiana Funeral Care.

mel because of the high number of senior living options, she researches facilities all around Indianapolis based on her clients’ needs. Newton creates a matrix of three living options based on financial and medical needs, along with community specifics like proximity. Having been on the inside, she knows what questions to ask each facility. She then assists with paperwork and can help organize the move. Cindy Ramsey moved her parents more
than a year ago to a location that “had everything we were looking for,” she said. Then the facility changed the way they accepted Medicaid at about the same time her parents required additional medical care. So the Ramseys reached out to Newton again, who found a new option. Elder care needs will continue to rise as individuals 85 and older are one of the fastest growing segments of the population. In 2012, there were an estimated 5.9 million people above the age of 85 in the U.S. The total is expected to increase to 19.4 million by 2050, according to the CDC. Newton said time constraints usually prevent family members from conducting the research required to make the best decisions for their loved ones. “You have to know what you’re looking for, and you have to know the fit,” she said. In her spare time, Newton focuses on the opposite end of life by serving as a child advocate in Marion County. She has two siblings in her care, making sure their needs are met through the legal, foster care and educational systems. “It has to do with a calling I’ve had and being able to help in another area that I’m interested in,” she said.

decades of dedication
Carmel woman finds perfect home for mother’s 40-year labor of love By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It all started with grandparents wanting to provide gifts for their granddaughters. “My mother and facover story ther, Mary and Charlie Frost, wanted to give dollhouses to their granddaughters,” Mary Eckard said. “My father owned a factory and he had some workmen who created the dollhouses, and my mother decorated. When Eckard all of them were finished, she looked at my dad and said, ‘Where is my dollhouse?’ He asked her want she wanted.” Eckard said she always saw beauty in the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, Va. So Mary Frost began a 40-year quest for the perfect replica of that house, which she finished a few weeks before she died at 97 in December 2016. “Her passion for this house survived moves and survived a lot in life,” said Eckard, a longtime Carmel resident who serves on the Clay Township Board. The Governor’s Palace was home to post-colonial governors Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson before the Virginia capital was moved to Richmond. Eckard’s mission was to find a home for the house. She eventually donated it to the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept., and it found a home at the Cox Mansion at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel. The Cox Mansion’s exterior resembles the Governor’s Palace of Williamsburg. Eckard said her mother met Jesse Cox approximately 20 years ago. Cox died in 2008 at age 90. “He was interested in what she was doing and told her to keep in touch, and now her house is in his house,” Eckard said. The invitation-only dedication was held Sept. 14. Allen Patterson, director of the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept., said the Williamsburg piece is an

amazing addition. “It’s a work of art,” Patterson said. “It’s an honor (to have it) at our facility. It’s a perfect marriage of the passion Jesse and Beulah Cox had for Williamsburg and Mary Frost had for Williamsburg. It gives us a great opportunity when we have tours and visitors at the mansion to show people what the inside of what the Governor’s Palace of Williamsburg would have looked like. The outside of the Cox Mansion is very nearly identical to the Governor’s Place of Williamsburg, but the inside is more modern or 1970s (style). It’s a museum-quality piece.” Eckard wanted it in a permanent place and not in a museum where it would be moved around if a new exhibit came. After checking with several places around the
nation and not finding a suitable home, she got an idea. “I woke up one morning and shot straight up in bed and said, ‘I know where it should go,’” Eckard said. “I remembered Coxhall and it how looked.” Eckard called Patterson, who thought it was a great idea. “Don’t they always tell you to look in your own backyard?” Eckard said. The Cox Mansion tours are once a month and publicized on hamiltoncounty.in.gov/296/Parks-Recreation. Patterson said there is registration for the tours to keep the numbers to 20. Group tours are available by appointment as well by emailing the department at hamilton.parks@hamiltoncounty.in.gov.
Mary Frost started the house in Grand Rapids, Mich., in the home where she raised her seven children. “She didn’t realize the scope would be as large as it is,” Eckard said. “The shell of the house was built. The rest of it was up to her. She learned how to make the miniatures.” Frost completed it with the help of her children. “We are scattered all over the country,” Eckard said. “It really isn’t just a dollhouse. It’s an enormous house. She had a replica in her mind because she had visited it a lot. She had magazines where she tore out the pages that represented the different rooms of the house.” Following her husband’s death in 1991, Frost moved back to Mobile, Ala., and bought a house with three bedrooms. “She didn’t have enough guest rooms for family (visitors) and a room for the Williamsburg house, so she found the perfect house that had an oblong room rather than a typical bedroom,” Eckard said. The Mobile Miniature Society helped her complete the final stages, Eckard said. “Everything in the house that looks lifelike is tiny,” Eckard said. “She did a lot of the artwork until she got older.” Eckard said one of the highlights of the home is the intricacies of the rifles that hang in the hall. “Mother wouldn’t allow anyone to put anything down, all the carpeting, until everything was done with the rifles,” Eckard said. “There were thousands of dollars put into it, thousands of hours by the family. My mother was very particular. It was her baby, and it was going to be done right.” That’s why it was important for all of Frost’s family that it found a home. “We wanted to make sure it would live forever,” Eckard said.
Mary Frost puts some finishing touches on the home in early 2015. (Submitted photo)

Thumb-driven communication
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker Even as another “breaking” news story is pushed out on social media or live broadcast by some beleaguered, up-and-coming reporter striving to make a name for himself as he risks life-and-limb in reporting from a hurricane zone, one wonders if a little less instantaneousness might make more sense. Sometimes, are we better off to reflect a bit before we commit to the world our first and spontaneous thoughts? Sitting in any coffee shop, one is entertained and, frankly, impressed by the thumbability of the collected masses. Folks attack their smartphones ferociously. Whatever the message, it is delivered nearly immediately and often with little intentional thought. Some of us live in a world where impulse dictates action. As communication technologies evolved, Gutenberg took great care to select topics for distribution. Martin Luther came to know his publishers personally to ensure their support in circulation. Franklin and other Founding Fathers pushed hard for a national mail service. Even most recently, folks had to find a telephone, attached to the wall, and rotary dial a single intended target. Were we better served when our impulses were more constrained? What harm is done when our drunk-dial is not directed only at a person we know but instead broadcast to the universe – friend, foe and future alike? If poor judgment, even in a weak moment, becomes a permanent scar, how do we cope? If we let our thumbs do the talking, is our brain taking the backseat?

REA D ERS ’ V I EWS Carouselgate: The Final Chapter Editor, Whether you were for or against the carousel and luxury hotel, what seems like a split decision was actually a win for all Carmel residents in at least three ways: 1) The debate sparked a community conversation about spending priorities as well as who makes spending decisions and how those decisions are made. 2) We learned quite a bit about our council representatives in the process, starting with who they are and how to contact them. Most important was how they responded to citizen concerns, or if they chose not to respond.
3) Since we’ve been assured that we can easily meet our debt obligations, we now get to break out the wish lists. If we can afford $15 million for a luxury hotel and $8 million for a German Christmas market, it’s hard to turn down other projects that benefit the community as a whole. I’d start by asking the police and fire departments if there is anything they need, then on to the parks and streets departments. I’d then go to Carmel citizens and ask what they suggest, and let me be first in line: How about a pedestrian overpass over 136th Street for Carmel High School students? Dr. Tim Hannon, Carmel
A rough month for the mayor Editor, As an official non-mayor of Carmel, I offer concern and sympathies to the mayor on behalf of 100,000 Carmelistics. It’s been a rough month for his honor. Fishers ranked the No. 1 best place to live by Money Magazine, and the carousel ranked No. 1 least-financed by the Money
Committee. It’s hard to cheer, “We’re Number 16!” And harder still not to carouse around a carousel (or mayor-go-round). I urge his eminence to buck up. A $100 million ups in the bond issue seems just around the corner, errr, roundabout. Bill Shaffer, Carmel
I used to honk people off all the time with my columns. PTO moms, Catholics, the breastfeeding contingent – I humor could go on and on. I would receive hate mail about once a month, usually highlighting my terrible parenting or wife-ing skills (is wife-ing a word? Now the grammar police will be writing!) and, occasionally, offers of prayercircle mention. Not that I miss the backlash, but I do wonder if anyone out there is reading me. According to my Current inbox yesterday, they are! Thirty-three emails awaited my attention. Most were spam, but 10 were not. I’d completely forgotten about my piece a few weeks ago where I likened President Trump to my teenage daughter, labeling them both insufferable. I’d apparently struck a nerve with a few Republicans who wrote that it was I (or is it me? Grammar police, I need you!) who was being insufferable with my disrespectful trash talk. They have a point. I shouldn’t have compared my 16-year-old to a baby boomer. She still has nine years before her brain is finished maturing. She’s dealing with hormones and homecoming, academics and acne, college applications and cellphone apps. Of course, no one can stand to be around her — she’s a hot mess! But I do expect our president to at least behave like he has a plan. Like he knows what he’s doing? Like he has learned something from his 70-plus years on this earth? I didn’t vote for him, but I believe in the office he now holds. So pull it together, Mr. Trump. The PTOs of this world, and, yes, even this grammar-questioning writer need you. Peace out.

DACA: Why all the hype? Commentary by Angela D. Adams The Trump administration recently announced the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, law prompting both liberals and conservatives to call on Congress to protect close to 800,000 DACA recipients, almost 10,000 of whom live in Indiana. DACA defers deportation of certain individuals who were brought to the U.S. at a young age, and otherwise have no lawful immigration status in the U.S. DACA is not a path to residency or U.S. citizenship, and recipients must prove that they entered the U.S. before the age of 16; were present in the U.S. for at least five years beginning June 15, 2007, and on June 15, 2012; are pursuing an educational program or GED; have no criminal history; and be at least 15 years of age at the time of filing and not more than 31 on June 15, 2012. Following an application and $495 fee, applicants must pass a background check. If approved, recipients may obtain work permit for two years, a Social Security number and driver’s license. DACA recipients had no options for pursuing lawful immigration status before
DACA existed. In this way, they were like the vast majority of undocumented immigrants who have no line to get into and no way to obtain lawful immigration status in the U.S. In most cases, it is impossible to leave the country and obtain a visa, even if one were available, because departure from the U.S. will trigger a 10-year bar from returning. They can’t stay and fix their status, and they can’t leave and fix it, either. Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the constitutionality of DACA and the way it was implemented. However, DACA recipients have long had—and continue to have — bipartisan support. Now more than ever, our Indiana Congressional delegation must act to protect DACA recipients who have known no other home but Indiana. Angela D. Adams (Knowles) is an attorney at Carmel-based Adams Immigration Law LLC and has spent most of her life as a resident of Carmel.

Driving while not intoxicated Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Have you been drinking?” asked the officer when he stopped me on Broad Ripple Avenue in Indianapolis, after I humor had turned off of Keystone. I was on my way to do a WISHTV remote shoot, my usual Sunday morning beat. “Drinking? Officer, it’s 9:30 in the morning.” “When is the last time you had a drink?” “I don’t remember.” “That’s not a good sign, sir.” “That’s not what I mean. I think I had a beer three nights ago,” I stammered. Stammering, by the way, is not recommended during a situation like this. The officer explained that when I made my turn, I “nicked the median with my front tire,” and that in his experience, “this usually means the person has had a few too many.” “Officer, I’m not drunk. I’m just a lousy driver.” As you can see, I was having trouble saying what I meant to say. He went back to his patrol car with my registration. A few minutes later he returned to my vehicle. “Have you ever been
arrested?” “Arrested? Look, I know you’re just doing your job, but other than having a few books overdue at the library, I’ve never been in trouble in my life.” “Sir, I am going to let you go, but based on your careless turn, I would be justified in giving you a breathalyzer to see if you are legally drunk.” When I got home, Mary Ellen asked why I was so late. I told her that I hit my front tire on the median and a cop pulled me over for being intoxicated. Yesterday morning I went back to that corner and performed the same maneuver multiple times. In 9 out of 10 attempts, I was successful in negotiating the pesky median that separates the opposing traffic lanes. If I were a baseball player, that would be a .900 average. However, it wouldn’t be for hitting. It would be for missing. For the full column, visit currentinwestfield.com

Back-to-school backpack safety Commentary by Tiffany Thacker What concerns do you have when kids carry heavy backpacks? Heavy backpacks strain the muscles in the back, neck, shoulders, spine joints and rib kids cage. Heavy weight bearing on a young person’s back can distort the natural curves in the back and lead to rounding of the shoulders. What are signs a child is injuring his/ her back? Signs of injury include constant pain, leg pain with numbness or weakness, or if pain causes your child to wake up while sleeping. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, even if it’s just for a few weeks, it’s important to make an appointment with his/her primary care physician. What can parents do to prevent their children from back problems caused by heavy backpacks? There are several things
parents can do to protect their child’s back: • Use your home scale to weigh your child’s backpack. The backpack should not be more than 10 percent of their body weight. • Pick a backpack that fits your child. It should not rest any lower than the small of their lower back. If it hangs too far down, it will increase your child’s lower back pain and risk of falling. • The shoulder straps should be wide and cushioned to help distribute the weight. A strap that goes across their hips will also help with proper distribution of weight. • Make sure your child uses both straps and doesn’t sling it over one shoulder. Holding a backpack on one shoulder causes excessive strain and throws off proper body alignment. • Distribute the weight of the backpack so the heavier items are resting closer to the child’s back. Tiffany Thacker is a nurse practitioner and program coordinator of The Spine Program at IU Health North Hospital.
Doctor receives top honor By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Longtime Carmel resident Dr. Jim Dillon received the Sagamore of the Wabash honor from Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma on behalf of Gov. sagamore Eric Holcomb at an Aug. 22 ceremony. Dillon is a retired cardiologist and professor at Indiana University School of Medicine. He is a former member of the Hamilton County Council and Clay Township Board. The award is the highest honor bestowed by the governor and is given to individuals who have provided exemplary service to the state or governor. Dillon has been a longtime proponent for heart health in the state. “When automated external defibrillators originally came out I had a lot of concern about their use because I was EMS chief with the fire department here in Carmel. I went to talk to Dr. Dillon because he was a cardiologist,” said Douglas Callahan, Clay Township Trustee. “He told me the AED’s would save lives and we would start seeing these things in your everyday businesses. Here we are 30 years later and they’re everywhere

now. He was very instrumental in us moving ahead with those.” Dillon also worked to bring the use of emergency weather sirens to Clay Township. Dillon was nominated by Callahan for the award because of their longstanding relationship working with the community. Dillon is Callahan’s deputy trustee. Dillon is honored to carry on the family tradition of receiving the award. “My father also received the Sagamore of the Wabash. It means a lot to me to have the same thing,” Dillon said.
DRAB TO FAB: KITCHEN, BATH AND LAUNDRY ROOM REMODEL The Affordable Companies • The-AffordableCompanies.com • (317) 575-9540 By Courtney Walker The client-designer partnership in this kitchen, bath and laundry room remodel was nearly one of those fairy-tail stories. While talking with both The Affordable Companies’ designer, Carlie Crousore-Suski and her client about the beginning inspiration, process and end result – their answers were nearly the same. Lighter, brighter, “everything” is what they both love in the new design. It started when The Affordable Companies renovated the Masthead project in Fishers and opened the kitchen reveal to neighbors, friends and clients. The prospective client instantly fell in love with the design and designer, Carlie. Years later, Carlie received a call. “It took her some time to realize she was ready, but once she was, I met with and learned about her wishes for the space,” Carlie
says. “From there, I had a great idea of what she was looking for in a custom kitchen and bath.” As you may notice from before images, the kitchen, powder bath and laundry were dark, divided and displayed poor lighting elements. “By shifting tall items to one side of the room, this allowed us to knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open concept with glass doors, glass shelves, open wine storage and great lighting,” Carlie says. “One of my fears of the new design was losing storage, but I actually have more functional storage now,” the client said. The kitchen and powder bath were designed with a fully custom cabinetry line from The Affordable Companies. “To state it simply, if you can dream it, we can build it,” Carlie says.
Equipped in her client’s kitchen are spice racks, flatware dividers, tray dividers, roll out trays and the cutest and most functional wine storage niche – accessible from both the kitchen and dining room. Just off the kitchen, a powder bath renovation used the same cabinetry line. “My husband loves his new bath with operating drawers in the vanity for storage,” the client says. “I wanted it to look more like a furniture piece. The outcome was the perfect compromise. He’s also thrilled with the amount of light in his bathroom.” If this flawless renovation story and beautiful design gives you the redo fever, contact a design professional at The Affordable Companies by visiting their website the-affordablecompanies.com or give them a call at 317-575-9540.

Gaynor thrilled to be inducted into Songbook Hall of Fame By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitzi Gaynor isn’t sure if she will sing at her upcoming Songbook Hall of Fame induction. One thing for sure is she won’t be able to show off famous dancing moves. While rehearsing for a tour in August, Gaynor broke her foot. “I fell off my 4-inch heel,” Gaynor said. Stumbles are rare for the legendary singer/dancer/actress, who will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame Sept. 30 at The Palladium in Carmel. The dinner part of the gala is sold out but tickets remain for the second half, which begins at 8:30 p.m. “I love it, I love it,” Gaynor said of the induction. “It’s just wonderful. This man (Michael Feinstein) is so marvelous. He’s so wonderful, I can’t stand it. He’s such a fine human being and so talented. He wants me to be in this (Hall of Fame). It makes me want to cry, it makes me so happy. I’m so proud of it. Not many Mitzi Gaynor performing in “South Pacific.” people have ever done this.” Feinstein is the artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts and Songbook Foundation founder. Gaynor will be inducted along with Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Gilbert, both deceased. “Ella was a friend of mine. She used to live down the street in Beverly Hills,” Gaynor said. Gaynor has great praise for Kristin Chenoweth, who will perform at the Gala. Best known for writing lyrics to Academy Award-winning song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” from Disney’s 1946 classic “Song of the South.” Gilbert also wrote “You Ray Gilbert Belong to My Heart,” “Sooner or Later” and “Casey at the Bat.” Gilbert died in 1976 at age 63.

Following her movie career, Gaynor did a series of TV specials in the 1960s and ’70s. Gaynor said her show, “Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins,” features music and stories from her past. Mitzi Gaynor as she performs today. (Sub“I sing, I dance and mitted photos) change costumes eight times,” Gaynor said. Appearing before a live audience still thrills her. “There’s nothing like it in the world,” said Gaynor, who enjoys bantering with the audience. “It’s so much fun. I feel like I’m with my family, no, better than your family because your family is always such a pain in the (butt).” Gaynor said she will retire the first time she doesn’t sell a ticket. “Or the first time I can’t wait to get to the theater to rehearse, then I’m going to quit,” Gaynor said. Gaynor made her movie debut at 19 in “My Blue Heaven” in 1950. She appeared with Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe in “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in 1954. Perhaps her most recognizable movie role was as Ensign Nellie Forbush in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” in 1958. Feinstein and Songbook Ambassadors Annie Yokom (2010), Julia Goodwin (2013) and Finn Sagal will be part of the show.

Thinking about changing your name? While it can be time consuming, the process of changing your name is a fairly simple one. Did your name change because you recently got married? No problem—head on over to your local Social Security Administration office for an application. You’ll need to bring with you proof of citizenship, documents that prove your identity, and certified documents that reflect your change of name (like a marriage certificate). Was your name changed as part of a divorce decree? The Social Security Administration will make you jump through the same hoops and you’ll need to provide a certified copy of your divorce decree. Changing your name for reasons outside of a marriage or divorce, however, takes a little more effort and requires petitioning your local circuit, superior, or probate court. Who’s eligible to petition a court for a name change? Indiana residents may petition a court for a name change if they are at least 17-years-of-age, are not currently incarcerated, and are not currently required to register as a sex or violent offender. If you meet those requirements, you should be good to go and can file a petition in your local county court. You’ll be responsible for paying a filing fee, which can vary from county to county. Indiana law does have statutory requirements that must be met for a petition for a name change to be valid. What names have you gone by or are associated with? Do you have proof of citizenship? How about a valid U.S. passport? Do you have any felony convictions? Among other requirements, these are just a few key pieces of information that must be contained within a petition for name change. If you’re requesting a name change on behalf of a minor, expect to meet additional requirements. Most notably, the reason(s) for the name change of a minor must be listed and the written consent of the non-filing parent is almost always required. Notice requirements must be met before a name change will be granted. After you’ve filed your petition and paid the appropriate filing fee, you still must abide by Indiana’s notice
31
requirements, all of which need to be met before your scheduled court date. You’ll need to publish 3 weekly notices of your name change petition in your local newspaper, the last of which needs to be published at least 30 days prior to your scheduled hearing. These notices allow interested parties, like a creditor or, in the case of a minor, a parent, to come forward and object to the name change. Sounds straightforward, right? If you’re changing the name of a minor, you’ll need to include more specific information within the notice than is required for an adult name change. Additional rules also apply if you’ve had a felony conviction within the previous 10 years and noncompliance of the additional notice requirements under the statute could result in a Class A misdemeanor. Once you’ve completed all your notice requirements, you’ll need to file proof of your publications with the court. This requires a verified affidavit of a disinterested person and, although this is typically handled by a person in charge of handling legal notices at your local newspaper, it’s important to follow up to ensure the court has all required documentation prior to your scheduled name-change hearing. Don’t forget you’re responsible for notifying applicable agencies of your name change! This is no different than if you change your name due to marriage. Once your name change has been granted by a court, it’s your personal responsibility to make sure government agencies, employers, creditors, and any other interested party are aware of the change. A copy of your court order granting your name change is usually sufficient for most businesses, but some agencies, most specifically government agencies, may require a court-certified copy. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding name changes, divorce, custody, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern master bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
Before
Background Info: This spacious home in the Valley Brook neighborhood of Carmel was built in 1989. Throughout the home there are several bathrooms, and many hadn’t been updated since the home was built, including the bathroom in the master suite.
Before problems: The master bathroom had plenty of space, but the original cabinets were bulky and lacked efficient storage. The design and layout of the shower and tub made the bathroom appear smaller than it was. Additionally, the bathroom fixtures dated the space.
After
The owners wanted to give their master bathroom an update while creating more efficient use of the space they had. Their new master bathroom has an open, modern design. 1. The biggest transformation was removing the standard gold framed shower and replacing it with a frameless glass shower, making the room appear much larger, overall. 2. Another dramatic change was replacing the decked tub with a free-standing tub and repositioning it to create more space for the second vanity. 3. New quartz countertops and wood-look tile flooring give the space a modern but timeless look. 4. Additional changes included custom cabinetry with efficient storage solutions and a new light plan to brighten the space. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling.

Chorazin and the Seat of Moses Commentary by Don Knebel Chorazin is one of three villages most closely associated with the earthly ministry of Jesus. Excavations at travel Chorazin have revealed both a chair described by Jesus and an inexplicable image of a monster. During the first century, Chorazin (or Korazin) was a Jewish village set on a hillside north of the Sea of Galilee. The village, known for the quality of its wheat, was about 2 1/2 miles due north of Capernaum, the center of Jesus’ ministry. According to the Bible, Jesus performed most of his miracles in Chorazin, Capernaum and nearby Bethsaida. Because the people witnessing those miracles did not repent, Jesus expressly cursed all three villages by name, beginning with Chorazin. As a result, early Christians expected the Antichrist to be conceived in Chorazin. Later Christians believed Jesus’ curse explained why a fourthcentury earthquake destroyed Chorazin, by then an important city. Although archaeologists have not yet found the remains of first-century Chorazin, they have uncovered ruins from the
third century. In the middle of the 25-acre city was a large synagogue, constructed of black basalt, a volcanic stone. In 1926, excavators found a chair, carved from a single block of basalt and inscribed in Aramaic, near the wall of the synagogue that faced Jerusalem. Scholars believe the stone chair was the so-called Seat of Moses. According to Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Matthew, rabbis made authoritative pronouncements from the Hebrew Scriptures while sitting in this chair. The original chair is in the Israeli Museum in Jerusalem, but a replica lies along the southern synagogue wall. Curiously, the Chorazin synagogue also featured a stone relief of the head of snake-haired Medusa. Why a synagogue used for worship by people forbidden to have graven images would include the representation of a monster from Greek mythology remains a mystery.
