CCS teachers could vote on decertifying union By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A group of Carmel Clay Schools teachers is attempting to give district educators a vote on whether they’d like a change education in union representation. The Carmel Teachers’ Association has petitioned the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board to allow CCS teachers to decide if they’d like to continue to be represented by the Carmel Clay Education Association or decertify it to allow CTA to become their exclusive representative. Pete O’Hara, a social studies teacher at Carmel High School, is among those leading the charge to decertify CCEA. He said that many CCS teachers are frustrated with CCEA taking contract negotiations to a state-appointed fact finder, the final stage of IEERB mediation, in three of the last four years. Each time the fact finder ruled against CCEA, which resulted in teachers making less money than they could have if the two sides had reached an agreement earlier. “You can accept losses for a while, but at some point you need to look at the process,” O’Hara said. “We thought that we might be able to create an atmosphere of cooperation with CCS, and we might be able to negotiate contracts within the law that were better for teachers.” CCEA President Brian Lyday, a fifth-grade teacher at Towne Meadow Elementary, said that
the mediation process State law allows school districts and their exclusive representatives to formally bargain between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30. If they can’t reach an agreement and ratify a contract by Oct. 2, the IEERB will assign a mediator to work with the two sides for 30 days. If the district and union can’t reach an agreement in 30 days, both sides submit a last best offer. An IEERB-appointed fact finder will review the offers and select one of them to become the collective bargaining agreement. Since the state developed the fact-finding process in 2011, Carmel is the only district to have taken collective bargaining to that level more than one time. while neither his organization nor the school board seems “pleased with the process that takes away the local community’s control of their schools,” through it his organization has become better prepared to handle the negotiation process and involve its members. “CCEA has put into place several tools that will enable teachers to participate more in the process, almost in real time,” Lyday said. “Information can now be distributed to and received from mobile devices, as well as a ratification process that can be done electronically in a secure manner. This should give all 950 teachers not only a vote, but access to the process.”
IEERB required the signatures of at least 20 percent of CCS teachers to consider the petition. O’Hara said they got many more than that, and that support has continued to grow. At least 51 percent of all teachers would need to vote to decertify and replace CCEA in order for it to happen. “We think we have a lot of support,” O’Hara said. “We feel pretty good about it.” O’Hara said a group of teachers has been working for approximately three years to create a group to replace CCEA. Most – including himself – are former members of CCEA, and many of them have previous experience with bargaining or negotiations, he said. O’Hara said he joined CCEA when he started working for the district 17 years ago but dropped his membership in recent years as the cost increased. The CCEA charges $52 annually in dues, but its members also join the Indiana State Teachers Association and National Educators Association, whose dues are $519 and $187, respectively, Lyday said. O’Hara said CTA dues would be about $100 and would likely decrease over time. CTA membership would not require automatic membership in other educators’ organizations, but teachers could choose to join them individually. Bargaining for the next CCS teachers’ contract is on hold until the IEERB reaches a decision on whether or not a vote will take place, which could happen at any time.
Carmel parents arrested for child neglect By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The apprehension of a runaway Carmel teen led to the arrest of his parents, who have been charged with child neglect and obCrime struction of justice. Quantae Johnson, 40, and Brandee Johnson, 42, both of Carmel, were arrested Aug. 30. The investigation began shortly after Aug. 24 when the parents alerted Carmel police that their oldest child, a 14-year-old boy, had run away from home. Police soon discovered the teen on the other side of town.
“This wasn’t the first time he had run away, so the officers pursued it a Quantae Brandee little further Johnson Johnson and got detectives involved and ended up transporting him to the hospital to be evaluated,” CPD Lt. Joe Bickel said. “That’s when it was determined he had injuries consistent with child abuse.” Police said during his hospitalization, the boy
was found to be malnourished in addition to being injured. Authorities interviewed his five siblings and discovered that another child, 13, also appeared to be malnourished and showed signs of abuse. All six children, who range in age from 3 to 14 years old, have been placed in protective custody through the Dept. of Child Services. The children’s parents face two charges of felony child neglect and one count of obstruction of justice. Bickel said the parents were deceptive during the investigation and attempted to have their children lie to detectives. Bond was set at $25,000 each.

Council tables golf cart law
By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
The Carmel City Council voted unanimously to table an ordinance regulating golf cart usage on city streets. Golf development carts are not legal on city streets, but the proposed law would legalize their use by adding safety requirements. The city held off on a decision because city attorneys said adding certain safety requirements, such as mandating seat belts or headlights, could conflict with state law and be subject to Brainard legal questioning. Many Indiana communities have laws that legalize golf carts on city streets, but city legal staff told the council that those other laws might not hold up to scrutiny. Mike Nelson, owner of golf cart shop ProCartz, has attended city discussions and spoke at the Sept. 19 council meeting. He accused the council of “passing the buck” to the state legislature and noted that several Indiana communities already have such laws. He said people will use golf carts, regardless, and so the council should act. City Council President Ron Carter strongly disagreed with Nelson, saying he trusts the advice of the city’s attorneys and that he’s concerned about public safety. He told a story about a friend in North Carolina who fell out of a golf cart, hit her head and died. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard noted there was a recent vehicular fatality in the Indianapolis area involving a scooter, which is similar to a golf cart in some respects. He said Carmel is one of the safest communities in the country, and he wants to be careful when this law is
written, otherwise he said he couldn’t sign a law that doesn’t ensure the public’s safety. Councilor Sue Finkam said the council isn’t “passing the buck” and that it’s important to make sure Carmel’s laws are solid and can’t be easily challenged. “We are trying to do right by our community and create a safe ordinance with a lower likelihood to be challenged,” she said. Councilor Jeff Worrell said the city can’t pass a law “just because someone else does it.” He added that he wouldn’t vote for any golf cart law if it didn’t include Carter headlights, because he said motorists don’t want to share the roads with moving vehicles they can’t easily see. “To me, this is also about the motorists,” he said. Carter pointed out that there are approximately 1,000 households with golf carts in Carmel, but there are more than 36,000 households in total, so he said the entire city has to be considered. He said Carmel is a busy city with lots of cars on the road, so safety is a top concern. “Frankly, a golf cart might be appropriate in Fairmont, Indiana. But we have a huge community here,” he said. Councilor Carol Schleif said she’s gotten a lot of response about the ordinance in her southwest Clay district, since many residents in the Village of West Clay would like to use golf carts. She said something should be done but there’s no need to rush. She said she’s been talking to State Rep. Donna Schaibley to try to craft the best law possible. “I’d love to have more time to process this and fix this, because this issue isn’t going away,” she said.

Northview plans Anderson campus
By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com
Carmel-based Northview Church has made its presence known in Hamilton County, and it’s working to faith take its message to other parts of the state. It plans to expand to Madison County in December when it opens a satellite church in Anderson. “Our whole multi-site strategy is to remove barriers from people Emerson that want to attend Northview, or church in general,” said Jason Pongratz, Northview multi-site campus director and Carmel resident. “Our strategy is to put locations of the church in anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes away from the next closest location as we try to move into a more regional footprint in general. That’s taking the church to the people so that location is not a barrier to attend one of our services.” Adam Hiatt has been attending North-

It’s grown far more rapidly than we thought it would. We’re nearing capacity at Fishers, so we’re launching this new campus with people from the Fishers campus into Anderson,” Hiatt said. “As of three weeks ago, I’m now an Anderson resident. I’m a part of the community. We like to have our campus pastors living in the community where they’re pastoring.” The church will be in a former movie theater behind Mounds Mall. “We are going to be doing several serving events in Anderson prior to our launch as a way to show that we’re invested in the community and that we want to have a positive impact,” Pongratz said. “We want to be part of the communities we’re in and want to be noticed if we were to pick up and leave tomorrow.” For more, visit northviewchurch.us or email Hiatt at adam.hiatt@northviewchurch.us.

Eight reserve deputies joined the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Sept. 18. From an initial class public safety of 10 recruits, the eight new officers spent Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as every other weekend since the beginning of February working to complete the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Academy. The almost 600-hour academy, taught by certified instructors from the Sheriff’s Office, is equivalent to the curriculum full-time officers complete at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield. Since reserve deputies have full-time jobs, they cannot attend a live-in academy, so instruction is provided in an alternate manner. The new deputies still must complete more than 500 hours in field training under the supervision of a merit deputy before being released to work solo. The 28 deputies of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Division are non-paid individuals who are dedicated to supporting and assisting the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of the county.

Although they are only required to serve 24 hours each month, many Hamilton County reserve deputies volunteer more than 1,000 hours each year, saving county residents hundreds of thousands of tax dollars annually.
ENDING AN ENGAGEMENT- WHAT TO EXPECT: LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. Indiana is considered a “no-fault” state, meaning the division of property is not dependent on who caused the relationship to end. Instead, the law of equity determines property distribution. Indiana law follows the “one-pot” theory for the division of marital property, which presumes all marital property is put into one pot and that a fifty-fifty (50/50) division of all marital assets and liabilities is presumed to be fair and reasonable. However, there are various factors Courts consider in determining whether or not a deviation from the equal division is warranted, including: the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property; the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property; the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; and the earning ability of the parties. Thus, while an equal division is presumed, one party can request more than fifty percent of the marital estate. However, what if the parties are never legally married? How does a court divide property and is the “no fault” theory still applicable? When ending an engagement, generally the laws governing a divorce do not apply to an unmarried couple. If the parties are never legally married, both parties are entitled to ownership of their own property and debts, unless there was an intentional decision to combine assets, which has been formalized. While this may seem easy enough, a few questions may remain, especially as they relate to property that once symbolized a couples’ affection for one another and contemplation of marriage. Under Indiana law, what happens to the engagement ring if the engagement is called off? Well, the courts must determine ownership of the engagement ring. In determining such ownership when the condition of marriage is never satisfied, courts either look to a “fault-based” or “no-fault” approach. The majority of jurisdictions utilizes a “fault-based” approach and order the engagement ring to be returned only if the engagement was broken by mutual agreement or unjustifiably by the receiver of the ring.
The “fault-based” theory stems from the idea that if the engagement ring is a token and symbol of the couple’s pledge to wed one another, it would seem only fair that the violator of such promise should not also get to keep the ring. However, keeping consistent with Indiana’s “no-fault” system of divorce, we utilize a “no-fault” approach when it comes to an engagement ring dispute. Thus, if no marriage occurs, the ring or the monetary value contributed to the ring legally belongs to the giver of the ring, not the person to whom it was gifted. Who is responsible for the wedding expenses? If contracts were signed for the wedding at the time the unmarried couple ends their engagement, then liability for the contract remains with the party who entered into the agreement. A contact occurs when two parties enter into a legally binding agreement. For example, a bride may enter into a contract with a florist to create her bouquet for the wedding day if the bride agrees to pay for the service. When the bride agrees, then a binding agreement is made between the bride and florist. If a cancellation is necessary, the bride would be the party considered legally liable for the contract. Upon cancellation of a contract with a vendor, the vendor and party cancelling should proceed according to the contract between the parties. Often times, such contracts will include a cancellation clause that details what happens in the event of a cancellation…whereby the contract might allows for a party to receive back their deposit, only pay a partial price, or pay nothing at all. The terms agreed to would be fact specific to each party and should be carefully examined before entering into the agreement.

Golf event to aid first responders By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bill Nicholls wants to make sure the public understands The Heroes Club’s mission of providing support to Carmel fundraiser first responders. Nicholls, vice president of the Ritz Charles, was on The Heroes Club board when the club launched in 1996. He took a break from the board when his kids were young. But now, he has returned to help the group regain momentum. He took over as the club’s board president last year. “We maintained our commitment always through Ritz Charles,” Nicholls said. “I thought it was a good time to get back involved about a year ago. It needed an injection to get back on the map and rebrand.” The 19th annual Heroes Club Golf Outing, the club’s biggest fundraiser, will be held Oct. 10 at Woodland Country Club. Christine Pauley, clerk treasurer for the City of Carmel, said the club’s chief objective is to provide a death benefit in the event something would happen to one of Carmel’s first responders. The benefit is a $150,000 life insurance policy for any police officer or firefighter serving in Carmel or Clay township who loses his or her life in the line of duty.

Lunches allow vets to connect By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com American Legion Post 155 in Carmel wants to help veterans by holding monthly lunches to help them share american legion their stories. “These lunches are really to bring veterans together. We’re trying to make the veterans aware of other veterans’ circumstances, what they went through. They come in, meet each other and build those relationships,” said Janet Emerson, American Legion volunteer. “We also ask them if they have any needs Emerson or if they know anyone with needs. We actually match them up with those resources. It’s about building camaraderie. We have a lot of veterans that come to lunch and surprisingly they want to get up and tell their story.” The lunches have been going on for about a year and a half and are sponsored by Great Lakes Care and Hospice. They are conducted at noon on the second Friday of every month at the American Legion in Carmel, 852 W. Main St.
“Guests can order off the menu at the American Legion. Each month we have a guest speaker. The last speaker was from the homeless veterans organization in Indianapolis, and our chairman at our legion was also speaking,” said Bob Beck, commander of American Legion Post 155. “We’ve had speakers associated with World War II. We meet and greet all the different veterans that come in. Sometimes we go around and let them introduce themselves. It’s just really special.” Veterans of any age are welcome to attend. “We do other things that are fun, but also we identify resources. We want them to Beck know we care about them,” Emerson said. “It also teaches them to stop in and do more with the Legion. There are a lot of veterans out there that don’t know when to come or what to do. I just really felt this was so important that I felt I needed to devote more time to it. I come from a long family of veterans, so it’s very dear to my heart.” For more information, visit americanlegionpost155.org.

The Museum of Miniature Houses and Other Collections in Carmel is hosting an exhibit featuring Indiana miniature artists through Dec. 31 called Hoosier Making Miniatures. bicenTennial “The exhibit comprises only professional miniaturists who work or live in Indiana. It covers about 35 years of miniature making,” said Elaine Mancini, executive director of the museum. “Many of the artists are either artisans or fellows of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans.” Artisans are selected to become members of the prestigious group. Items on display include tiny versions of real furniture, food, dolls, porcelain items, stoneware and rooms. “It’s pretty much the entire gamut of tiny little accessories to room settings,” Mancini said. The project is the museum’s second legacy project with the Indiana Bicentennial Commission. “Miniatures were extremely popular in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. A good percentage of the active professional artisans were Hoosiers. Hoosiers are extremely creative people, and they love to make things. They were important in the miniatures industry as well as others,” Mancini said. “This exhibit documents this importance.” The Carmel museum is one of only five in the U.S. devoted to miniatures. The cost to attend is $5 for adults and $3 for children

Custodian: ‘It’s an honor to serve’ By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Roberto Arreola Mandujano does much of his work behind the scenes at Carmel High School, but the lead custodian handles even the toughest parts of his EDUCATION job with a smile. “In winter time, to go outside and spray salt all over the sidewalks around the school is the hard part, but I still have fun doing that,” Mandujano said. Carmel Clay Schools recently spent a week honoring its maintenance staff and custodians for their hard work. Many people posted photos of appreciation online with the hashtag #CCSThankYou. For Mandujano, the job is “a blessing.” “I love what I’m doing,” he said. “I always appreciate the opportunity to serve others in each way and help my co-workers to accomplish every single day what they are supposed to do.” Life was much different for Mandujano before landing his job at CHS. A native of Mexico, he moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s and spent nearly 20 years there. He moved to the Midwest after getting married and having two children. “That’s where I heard was a better place

to raise your family,” he said. “I don’t regret it at all.” The custodian’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. In May, CCS named him the 2016 Support Staff Employee of the Year during a surprise ceremony at the high school. Nicole Delks, custodial supervisor at CHS, said the honor was well-deserved. “He is always dependable and absolutely goes above and beyond in making sure our building is in optimal condition,” Delks said. “He is such a polite and genuine person.” After 10 years, Mandujano doesn’t anticipate leaving the high school any time soon. “I’m very happy,” he said. “It’s an honor to serve everybody.”
Democrats promote involvement By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Despite its name, the Carmel High School Democrats group exists to educate students about politics in general, EDUCATION not just for one party. “Carmel High School Democrats is a local chapter of High School Democrats of America, a national organization of high schoolers who are ideologically aligned with the Democratic party,” said Cole Ferguson, executive board member of the Carmel group. “Our mission is to get people under the age of 18 actively interested in politics and educated in politics. If they learn when they’re young, they’re more likely to learn as they grow up.” Throughout the year, CHS Democrats hosts speakers and registration drives encouraging seniors to vote. Last year, CHS Democrats registered approximately 120 seniors. Ferguson works with fellow students Brian Hancock, Noah Huber and Sebastian Thatcher. “We are more involved in getting people active. Whilst we do personally align ourselves with the Democratic party, our major goal is to get the youth involved and get them excited about getting involved,” Ferguson said.

In addition to running the local level, Ferguson, Hancock and Huber also are chairmen for the Indiana High School Democrats, where they assisted with the Bernie Sanders campaign and are now working with the John Gregg campaign. “The state organization does more of the logistical work for the entire state and communications for high school organization in the state. Local chapters are small level,” Ferguson said. “But our (local) organization as a whole is to get the youth more involved in the political spectrum. It’s good to get both sides of the issues and have everyone have a say and get involved.” For more, visit inhsdems.com.

Dr. Nick Wahl and Dr. Allen Bourff presented the State of the Schools Sept. 14 at the OneZone Chamber of Comeducation merce luncheon. Wahl, superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools, and Bourff, superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, highlighted multiple accomplishments of their school systems. Carmel High School has 154 clubs, 20 interscholastic competitive sports and five club sports. Wahl mentioned the recent 30th consecutive state championship for the girls swimming team, as well as CHS’s DECA team placing in the international competition. “When I meet these students and see all these kids in our schools, it reaffirms my belief that the leaders of tomorrow are in our classrooms today,” Wahl said. “We are in good hands, so be affirmed to that.” Wahl also mentioned that the CCS referendum passed in 2010 for a seven-year window, and that the school system is due for another referendum next year. HSE passed a referendum in the spring. “This is the arena in which we operate and we compete for the best and the brightest, and that’s why I say we have now developed

a referendum state,” Bourff said. “Carmel will be going out for a referendum, You just experienced it in Hamilton Southeastern. It’s happening throughout the state, a number of counties are seeing it, and some are successful, some are not.” Out of CCS’s $110 million budget, 93 percent is for personnel, according to Wahl. “That’s exactly where that money should be,” Wahl said. “In the event that the ($15 million) referendum is not successful, that is 130 teaching positions (not funded). Strong schools, strong community, strong economy.”
CCS boosts computer courses By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com In an effort to create leaders in computer science fields, Carmel Clay Schools is working with Nextech, a nonprofit dedicated tech to narrowing the gap between computer-related job opportunities and the number of people pursuing those opportunities, and to train educators to teach the new AP computer science principles course. “It is a full-year entry level course that introduces high school students to the foundations of modern computing,” said Karen Jung, president of Nextech. “It is more than a traditional introduction to programming. The rigorous yet engaging course explores many of the big foundational ideas of computing so that all students understand these concepts are transforming our world.” Nextech, working with code.org, will provide 72 hours of professional development to teachers over a 15-month period through a combination of in-person and online learning. The training started with a summer institute and includes quarterly workshops and will conclude with a workshop next summer.
“Carmel Clay Schools wanted to provide our teachers with a unique training experience that allowed them to collaborate with other computer science teachers across the nation,” said Courtney Taylor, community relations liaison for CCS. “We received feedback from the teachers who participated in the training, and many said they learned new teaching methods they could successfully implement in their computer science courses.” Taylor said the computer science classes are important because they teach students valuable problem-solving techniques, critical thinking skills, creativity, perseverance and real-world applications. “That will help prepare students for college, career and life-readiness,” Taylor said. “Technology is rapidly evolving, and having computer science courses available to students at CCS creates a solid foundation of knowledge students can utilize in whatever career path they choose.” There is no cost to Carmel Clay School District for the program. Participating teachers receive a stipend from Nextech for the training. CCS is among 34 Indiana school districts taking part in the professional development course.

Coxhall bells get upgrade By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com The two bell towers at Coxhall Gardens at Ritz Charles in Carmel are getting an upgrade courtesy of coxhall gardens Smith’s Bell and Clock Service. The equipment in the towers has never been upgraded and is original to the installation of the towers. There are 47 bells in the towers and only 20 work. “They lost control of the strikers to hit the bells. They were just getting too old. Over the years outside in the elements they got corroded and lost control,” said J.J. Smith, owner of Smith’s Bell and Clock Service. “When you only have 20 out of 47 bells working, you’re missing notes in the songs. It doesn’t sound too nice. We’re replacing them all with new, modern items.” The project began about a month ago and will last until the end of September or mid-October. The new equipment will provide modern features for the bells. “We have all the programming capabilities now with the new controller. We make our controllers to be able to be programmed here in our shop. It’s kind of neat that I can program a song in my shop in Camby and you can be up in

Carmel and hear the song,” Smith said. The towers play music several times a day. The bells range in size from 1,500 pounds to 12 pounds. Each striker is being built individually for the 47 bells. Also known as a carillon, the bells will have electric strikers instead of manual clappers. “A carillon is just a really useful instrument to leave a legacy behind as a monument. That’s what the donors originally did that owned the farm around there. Those bells are made of bronze. They last hundreds of years, so it’s a good gift. Those bells are the finest money can buy,” Smith said. For more, visit smithsbellandclock.com.

Scout creates garden tour news@currentincarmel.com Boy Scout Troop 576 recently created a selfguided educational tour of the Carmel Clay Schools Plots to Plates Organic environment Community Gardens behind Carmel Middle School. The tour consists of seven stations describing the environmentally beneficial areas of the gardens: the pollinator garden, stage and teaching area, compost bins, rain garden, healthy eating mural, rain barrels and field trip and food pantry plot. As part of his Eagle Scout project, Lant Jenkins collaborated with the school to design and create the map and signs, and he led a team of Scouts to
install them. "Creating the tour helped me to learn about the environmental importance of the community garden,” Jenkins said. “I encourage local residents to visit the garden, take the tour and learn about what they can do to help the environment.” The Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program provided funding for the garden tour. The program awards grants of up to $1,000 to young people to fund sustainability projects in Carmel. The garden is open to all Carmel residents and CCS employees. Ninety-eight plots are available for use by households or school and community groups. For more, visit ccsgreenteam.org.

Clay Township well-represented in Civil War By Terri Horvath news@currentincarmel.com
During the Civil War, almost 100 Clay Township men signed up for military service. Most aligned with the Union, like this unidentified solider. About seven, however, chose the Confederacy. (Photo courtesy of the Carmel Clay Historical Society)
Like many small towns in Indiana, Clay Township had its share of men volunteer to fight in the Ameriback in the day can Civil War from 1861 to 1865. “There was scarcely a battle fought during the long and bloody struggle that Hamilton County was not represented in to a greater or less extent,” according to the 1901 “History of Hamilton County Indiana” by Augustus Finch Shirts. An example of the county’s valor was recorded by Maj. Gen. McCook in a letter written from the field of Shiloh praising the Indiana troops fighting in this particular battle. “Justice to the Sixth, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second and Thirty-ninth Regiments of Indiana Volunteers requires me to speak of their conspicuous gallantry while fighting under my command at the Battle of Shiloh,” McCook wrote. “The Thirty-second Regiment had already won the prestige of victory at Rowlett’s. The other regiments, actuated by a proper emulation, unflinchingly stood their first baptism under fire,
and their action on the field of Shiloh will embellish one of the brightest pages in annals of our nation.” For their service, the Board of County Commissioners allotted a total of about $245,000 to the volunteers and recruits. Another sum of $111,625.75 was designated for any serviceman’s family in need of assistance. After the war, a monument in a Noblesville cemetery on the highest and most conspicuous spot was erected with the names of all who served. The memorial cost $15,000 to erect.

Campers build tables for Habitat news@currentincarmel.com More than 50 children from the Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation summer camp gathered at Eagle Church in Whitgiving back estown to build picnic tables for the new 2016 Habitat for Humanity homeowners. The adult leaders divided the children into four groups, with each group building a picnic table under the direction of a volunteer or Habitat staff member. “The picnic table is a symbol and tool for bringing family and friends together. Each family in a new Habitat home in Boone County gets a picnic table in hopes of bringing their family and friends together at their new home,” Habitat Board Member Kevin Schmidt said. “Working with 50 middle school-aged children to assemble four picnic tables was a real learning experience for each child who participated. Not just about the actual bolting together and screwing together the boards, but it was to learn about those families that may not be as fortunate and need a little assistance in making their lives better for their families.” Students also learned about Habitat for Humanity and its mission. “The kids really seemed to be able to grasp

Creekside student works to inspire others through yoga By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com Many teens are characterized as moody and overdramatic, but Anna Limauro is working on being the opposite. The 13-year-old Creekside Middle School student, who recently cover story became certified as a yoga instructor, wants to teach yoga techniques to other teenagers to help give them confidence. “I think because they need it the most,” she said. “(For) relaxing and school and drama, they kind of need it the most.” In May, Anna registered with Yoga Alliance, the nation’s largest teacher registry, after completing the Torchbearer of Tradition program. The new program, created by Zionsville-based Blooming Life Yoga Studio owner Lily Kessler, is aimed at youth ages 12 1/2 through 18. The Torchbearer of Tradition program was initially created by Kessler because Anna was interested in participating in the 200-hour adult program. “She just seemed incredibly dedicated,” Kessler said. “She has this insatiable curiosity.” Anna was first introduced to yoga through

a workshop designed to increase girls’ confidence. She started taking youth yoga classes, then — after developing a passion for it — began attending adult classes in Zionsville and Carmel. “I really liked it and wanted to learn the history of it,” Anna said. Although she would like to learn more history, Limauro the Torchbearer of Tradition course introduced her to the basics and philosophy. “Lily went out on a limb doing this program,” said Anna’s mother, Denice Limauro. “You never know how it’s going to be with kids being dedicated every other weekend. They treated them just like they were adults, the same class, the same material.” The Torchbearer of Tradition program met every other weekend, all weekend, January through May. Referring to the time commitment, Anna said “it isn’t as long as you’d think.” Students spent time memorizing basic flow and poses and discussing the spiritual side of yoga. Some of the teens in the program were facing high school finals that coincided with final evaluations, which Anna said caused some stress to the older students in the program. Anna was even able to find some ties with her middle school classes. “When we learned about Hinduism in social studies I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m learning about that in yoga,” she said. “Something about yoga, too, is they’re open to everything in all the cultures.” Eventually, Anna wants to incorporate the history and philosophy of the poses when she teaches. And she wants to instill in her students the feeling of confidence and acceptance that she first learned. “I could see Anna being a master yogi,” Kessler said. “She is very interested in the philosophical aspects and the ways that they link traditions, cultures and world philosophies together. She is cultivating her language of how to weave modern day asana and modern day funky.” “Lily taught us to be into the philosophy, because that’s where yoga started,” Anna said. “I just think I need to spread that message, too.”

‘A safe place’ Lily Kessler was concerned that some of the adult conversations would be “inappropriate” for youth. So she created Torchbearer of Tradition, the first yoga program specifically for teens. The 200-hour course covered everything in the adult program, but Kessler planned to keep the conversations at a less adult level. But Kessler discovered that the teen conversations were tougher than some in the adult classes. “It was such an eye-opener for me of what kids are going through,” she said. “They are surrounded by drugs, alcohol, huge peer pressure, risky behaviors, suicide. Hearing them talk about their experiences, having to face these really huge world issues, I was blown away.” Kessler said the safe environment of the yoga studio helped the teens cope with decisions. “They had a safe place where they could talk about their struggles and how to make the decisions,” she said. “That was really cool. They started to step above and witness what was around them rather than be entrenched in teenage drama.” Anna felt the same way about the impact yoga can have teens. “When I will teach, I’d be doing it for confidence and being nice and getting out of the drama, and just using common sense and just being a normal human and being nice to people,” Anna said. “Doing good for the world.”

V I E W FR O M T HE R I GH T Another weekend in leftist USA
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Susan Stamper Brown We live in a country run by people who tell us that if a man puts on a dress and says he’s a woman we are supposed to take him at his word. But if a man goes on a murderous rampage in the name of Allah, and ISIS claims responsibility, we shouldn’t draw conclusions. Americans selected this band of leftist fools who have zero aptitude for dealing with terrorism. In a 12-hour span Sept. 18 and 19, we saw that it is not safe to shop in a mall in Minnesota, or run a 5k in New Jersey or walk in New York City without risk of terrorism. “Rest assured,” they tell us, “justice will be served.” Of course, they are always quick to remind us to not make assumptions. Heaven forbid we offend someone’s sensibilities. The beautiful fragrance of the American way of life is being overtaken by the stench of dead flies resting on the laurels of political correctness. When ISIS claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack, it wasn’t enough for the FBI to draw conclusions about the motive of the stabber. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, a pipe bomb-like explosive device detonated along the route of a 5K charity race to help Marines and sailors, and in New York City, 29 people were injured when an improvised explosive device went off in a Manhattan neighborhood. Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City, overly obsessed with controlling what New Yorkers eat and drink, immediately called the bombing “a very serious incident.” Apparently, the mayor couldn’t get his sodium-free tongue to utter the word “terror.” A case of follow the leader?

Dawn of the dread
Commentary by Terry Anker
Sometimes we dread the unknown. It scares us to peer into the abyss failing to comprehend the bottom. Other times, the known can hold as much sway in bringing us to the brink of breakdown. We note a coming obstacle and, recalling the difficulty in overcoming it at our last outing, drag our feet to avoid the confrontation. Either way, dread is here to stay. And in many cases, we are entirely justified in feeling the strong sense of foreboding. But with so many things in life proving to be difficult, and so many more unpleasant, how can we be a productive human if controlled by dirty doctor dread? There is a talisman to arrest this demon. From the dawn of dread, time has demonstrated to be its ultimate slayer. There has proven no difficult period, no rough patch in life, no embarrassing moment that has not, in due, unrelenting time, come to pass. Although we cannot control the object of our anxiety, whatever it may be, and even if it
may have irreversibly changed the direction of our lives, the intensity of the burden will fade. To be sure, we have all confronted demons and lost wars. Some more significant than others. Relationships fail. Careers veer off course. People die. But each of these will eventually cede to the clock. As soon as we direct ourselves to move on, we are free to do so. Likewise, the petty challenges of our daily routines — tests to be taken, reports to be filed, and rooms to be cleaned — all come and go with no more power over our lives than we give them. Prepare as best as possible. Take the test. Live with the consequences. Move on. Dread is still with us, but we are its master. So relax, it will all be over soon.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing that matters. – Mother Teresa
The other night I woke up to a horrible smell. I thought at first it was my own breath, but after a cautious humor sniff and the recollection that I had indeed brushed, flossed and Listerined, I sat up and began looking around the darkened room. The odor seemed to be everywhere. When my eyes finally rested upon my peacefully sleeping husband, I solved the mystery. Doo was emitting noxious garlic fumes from every pore of his body, probably the remnants of his Thai food lunch. Again. But here’s the weird thing, I can’t tell if it’s him or if it’s me. What I mean is, does Doo have a strange affliction that causes him to radiate meal-stink eight hours post-consumption? Or have I developed such a superhuman sense of smell that even the tiniest waft of onion sweat makes me crazy? In all fairness to Doo, I also cringe and wave my hand frantically to increase air flow whenever I become trapped in a car with an odiferous teenager who’s straight from a 10-hour color guard practice. That’s not unusual, I suppose, but I’ve noticed I do the same thing even when confronted with what most would consider pleasant scents. For example, I frequently pinch my nose when the aforementioned teen enters a room wearing her new cucumber-aloe spray deodorant, or when her brother dons his cologne. Too much hairspray and/or perfume will also send me running, if I’m lucky enough to have the space to flee. Doo thinks I have a disorder called hyperosmia, which is really just a hypersensitivity to smell. But according to medical-dictionary. com, it’s common among “neurotic and histrionic personality types,” which clearly is not me. So maybe my issue is middle-age hormones, like when a pregnant woman becomes nauseous at the first hint of fried chicken in the air. Perhaps the good Lord has taken pity on my failing 40-something body, and is compensating me with supersized, estrogen-fueled schnoz abilities. Whatever the reason, I can see only two choices. Either Doo stops eating flavorful food or I start wearing a nose clip. Peace out.

Turn for the worse Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I seem to have a great deal of trouble turning things off. Turning them on? No sweat. Light switches, blenders, lamps, humor ovens and fans are a breeze — especially the last one. When I’d turn off my old car’s ignition and get out, it kept running. There was an additional reason I never bought another Ford Pinto, but I forget why now. My wife keeps reminding me to turn off my turn signal. My car has six airbags, a rear-view camera and voice-controlled GPS directions. I’d give it all up if the blinker would go off automatically after I — what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, yeah: turn. The other day my wife and I were talking via cell phones. “Dick. Gotta go, I have another call.” “Okay, see ya.” “Dick, are you going to hang up or not?” “I’m trying, Mary Ellen. I pushed the button three times.” “I’m trying, also. Get off the phone. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” “Don’t make this sound so personal.” Sometimes I can’t get my computer to shut down. I called Kevin, my tech nerd. He asked,
“Did you push the off button?” “How dumb do you think I am? And don’t mention that time for a hundred bucks you got my printer working by just plugging it back in the outlet.” “Okay, press the power button softly and hold it just a second.” “I did that. It won’t turn off.” “Then press the power button really hard and hold it for 20 seconds.” “How can both of those be right? I’ll just pull out the plug.” “Good idea. I can use the money.” I can’t turn off the loud commercials that play in the background of websites because I can’t find where the X is to close the windows. I’d turn the whole computer off, but remember: I don’t know how to do that. Yesterday, my wife wanted to go out for a date night. I suggested a sandwich at Jimmy John’s and the new Vin Diesel movie. “So much for romance,” she said. Finally, I learned how to turn something off.

Where’s Amy attends ATI’s Million Dollar Quartet Actors Theatre of Indiana has set the bar high yet again with its hit sensation “Million Dollar Quartet.” Where’s Amy attended the opening night show and from start to finish was beboppin’, foot stompin’ and swaying to the tunes of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and, yes, Elvis was in the house, too. If you see one musical this year, go see “Million Dollar Quartet.” I sat in sheer joy as I was entertained and marveled how the professional talented cast not only looked and sang like the musicians, but actually played their own instruments, too. It was if we were watching Jerry Lee Lewis dazzle us on the piano along with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Elvis jamming on their guitars - live. Totally mind blowing. Yep, it’s safe to say that ATI has a “Million Dollar Quartet” winner right here in Carmel. The acting is superb, and trust me, everything about this production shines. Congrats to the entire cast and crew. Get your tickets today, and while you are at it, grab your tickets for ATI’s ‘Cabaret’ coming Nov. 4-20. Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there!

Although Jethro Tull will likely never play together again, their music can still be heard. Lead singer Ian Anderson announced concerts the progressive rock band would dissolve in 2014. However, both Anderson and Martin Barre, who spent more than 40 years as guitarist for Jethro Tull, have bands that play a heavy dose of Tull classics. Barre will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 1 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel. Barre said this will be his band’s first show in the Indianapolis area. Barre, from England, is joined by Dan Crisp (vocals), George Lindsay (drums) and Alan Thomson (bass). Barre, 69, joined Jethro Tull before the band’s second album in 1968. Along with Tull songs, Barre’s setlist includes songs from his 2015 album “Back to Steel,” his sixth solo album, and a cover song or two. “It’s a mixture,” Barre said. “I like to think if someone walks past the venue and has never heard of me or the band, they’re going to walk in and really enjoy the show. We’re as much about making new fans along with winning over the old Tull fans.” Barre said some Tull songs are played in traditional format, but he also rearranges others to keep it fresh. Barre said the band is in the midst of a hectic schedule. “The gigs are great,” Barre said. “The reward at the end of the day is you do a gig and you forget about the hours you’ve spent in the van. The audiences have been absolutely amazingly receptive to what we do.” Barre said many audience members are inquisitive about what the band sounds like. “It’s very direct and dynamic, and at the end of the night everyone is happy,” Barre said. “We’ve accumulated a lot of material. It’s really difficult to choose what we don’t play. We can switch it around on a nightly basis if we want to. The hardest part is restricting what we play.”

At 82, Mayall is still passionate about performing. “We love what we do.

Breakfast pastry Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley It was a sad day when the powers of college football yielded to the viewer numbers of television networks and eliminated the traditional 1 p.m. Saturday start for virtually all games. Now we have Thursday and Friday night games and some 11 a.m. games on Saturday. Those early games allow us to serve breakfast before the game. If one has multiple burners on their grill, it isn’t hard to cook omelets with all sorts of ingredients. Suggestions are chopped onion, sausage, peppers, cheese, and so on. Then the cook can heat a flour tortilla on a burner and assemble a great breakfast burrito. For those tailgaters who don’t want to cook at the tailgate there is always the breakfast casserole. Please, if you are a regular reader, don’t send us emails about how we have repeated a recipe. We’ve had plenty of them in the past. Sausage pastry bake II Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min. Ingredients: • 2 pkgs. (12 oz. each) Johnsonville Original Breakfast Sausage Links • 1 4 oz. can chopped green chilies • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns • 1 medium red onion, chopped • 2 Tbsp. butter • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese • 1 8oz pkg. cream cheese cut into 12 even size chunks • 1/4cup minced fresh parsley • 10 eggs • 1 cup milk • 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1/4 tsp. pepper • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed • 1 egg, lightly beaten • 1 Tbsp. water Directions: Cook sausage according to package directions and cool slightly; cut into ¼-in. slices and set aside. In a large skillet, sauté hash browns and onion in butter for 6-8 minutes, or until tender. Press hash browns and butter to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with cooked sausage, cheeses, chilies and parsley. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper; then pour mixture over cheese. On a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheet; roll into a 13-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Place pastry over egg mixture in a small bowl; combine egg and water and brush over pastry. Cut slits in top of pastry. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes or until set and golden brown. Take this to the game and heat it on any grill with a foil tent.

Suzanne Joyce wanted to address the challenge of balancWomen Who Work ing work and motherhood. So the Carmel resident wrote a children’s book called “Working Mama.” The book launch party will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Oct. 1 at The Urban Chalkboard, 452 E. Carmel Dr., Carmel “This is my first book, but this will be the first in the series of children’s books,” Joyce said. “The first one is talking about being a working mother, but eventually I want it to be ‘Working Mama’ presents my mama is a doctor or my mama is a lawyer, so it follows certain career paths. That’s kind of my vision. We’ll see.” Joyce is working on books about mothers being a lawyer and entrepreneur to likely be released in 2017. The Illustrator for the first book is Rebecca Beris, from Australia. The book, designed for children 10 and younger, are written from the child’s point of view. Joyce has a 2-year-old son, Lucas, and two stepdaughters, Addison, 11, and Olivia, 8. “It gives working parents a chance to explain why we go to work, why we work hard and the benefits that brings to our family,” Joyce said. Joyce is in chemical distribution sales.

Joyce, 35, grew up on the north side of Indianapolis and graduated from Cathedral High School. Joyce said she was raised by a stay-athome mother. “But when my father, an entrepreneur, remarried, he married an entrepreneur,” Joyce said. “So I was lucky I had both role models in my life growing up. I knew I wanted a family but also wanted a career. I worked hard in college (Arizona State) to lay that foundation to go into the working world.” The book, which was published in late July, is available on Amazon, Archway Publishing and Barnes and Noble websites.
Local bakeries join forces By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Two bakeries have joined forces to offer Carmel a full range of culinary treats. Sandra Bakery, owned by Carmel food resident Sandra Newkirk, moved into Rascia’s Creative Cakes, 328 W. Main St., Carmel, in early September. Both are baking at the store. Sandra Bakery offers pastries, pies, cookies, macaroons, puddings, cheesecakes and other treats while Rascia’s concentrates on cakes. Rascia’s also offers cupcakes. “This way we can offer more choices for people and we can expand the hours,” said Rascia Johnson, a Fishers resident. The business is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. Newkirk began with Bite Me Cupcakes, 9613 N. College Ave., which offered only cupcakes at first. The store was open for nearly two years. Newkirk said her lease was up and she decided to make the move. “We also have excellent coffee and lattes that no else does in this area,” Newkirk said.

“We have two tables that are outside. People like to take a piece of pastry and walk down to the Monon and walk around or have a chat, or just grab a dessert for dinner before going home.” Johnson said her store has been open on the site for five years. Johnson does cakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. “We do cake sculptures, the stuff like you see on TV,” Johnson said.

Worthless without action Commentary by George Klein A few weeks ago, a friend of mine leased a new GMC vehicle. As part of the lease, he received a complimentary threeviews month subscription to OnStar, the service that keeps a driver safe, connected and ready for the road. As part of this service, he receives a diagnostic report on many aspects of the vehicle, including transmission, emissions, brakes, airbags, tire pressure and oil life remaining. The report also reminds the driver of mileage and maintenance needed. It really is an amazing report full of feedback on the condition of various systems of the vehicle. The diagnostic report is great feedback that helps a driver maintain a vehicle and keep it functioning safely. What if the driver got feedback that there was an issue and didn’t take action to address the problem? The report would be worthless. The same is true for customer feedback. It is worthless unless it is used to make improvements. Businesses that care about customer experience put the feedback they receive into action. Consider the hotel chain that got consistently negative feedback from guests about its air adjustable beds. Although the
beds were initially loved by guests, they wore out quickly and became more uncomfortable than regular beds. Management at the hotel chain listened to the feedback and replaced the beds over time. Obviously, this was a costly change but one that kept loyal guests coming back. Many businesses capture feedback from web-forms and phone messages. I have even seen businesses use the old-fashion comment cards to get feedback! They hire someone to type the these comments into a spreadsheet. When I ask what they do with the spreadsheets, I often get a blank stare. Management occasionally scans the spreadsheets but basically does not put customer feedback into action. What does your company do with customer feedback? If customers care enough to give you feedback, use it. Look for trends and patterns and evaluate how to put that valuable feedback into action to improve the customer experience. George Klein is the CEO/Founder of Peoplocity, a customer feedback platform. Contact him at George@peoplocity.com
Reducing misunderstandings Commentary by Jack Klemeyer Nearly every prospect and client I talk with has experienced a situation where they were certain that they had communiviews cated something clearly, only to discover, at the wrong time, that the reality was they hadn’t communicated what they intended to at all. Just so you know, the person you attempted to communicate with is just as frustrated, if not more so. How miscommunication happens When we begin to tell someone something, we have no idea what that person is dealing with in their job, their family life and all other aspects of their life. That is the point from which they take in information. In his book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” Stephen Covey tells about a young father who clamors aboard a subway car with several rambunctious children. After a short time, a fellow passenger tells the father to control his children. The father, as if wakened from a trance, explains that they have just come from the hospital where his wife and the children’s mother has just died. He further explained that neither he nor the children
knows quite how to behave. Scenarios (albeit not as emotionally packed as the man and his children on the train) play out every day in people’s lives. We never know what the person standing next to us is dealing with in life. How to prevent miscommunication What we can do to mitigate miscommunication is to follow these three steps: • Make sure now is a good time to talk. • Engage as many senses (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, gustatory and olfactory) as possible as you share your request. • Have the person you are talking with recap the communication to check for efficacy. Be intentional about communication, and remember that it’s highly probable that what you’re saying may not be what is being heard. It’s your responsibility to make sure communication happens.

The names of the 12.05 Distillery off of Virginia Avenue in Indianapolis and its restaurant, Repeal, originated from drinks the date Prohibition in America was repealed – Dec. 5, 1933. But these days, a lot more science, passion, and art goes into the spirits 12.05 creates than when spirits were made during Prohibition. 12.05 makes four whiskeys, a gin and a vodka. The distillery is working on a rhubarb liqueur to be released next month. Its first bourbon is aging and will be released in May 2017. Other than sharing a passion for spirits, Owner Teresa Hudson, Sales Manager Nolan Webster and Head Distiller Brad Colver all have one thing in common – a history in Carmel. Webster is a 2009 Carmel High School graduate, and Colver graduated from CHS in 2003. “We all grew up in Carmel. Brad was friends with my older brothers their whole lives,” Webster said. “They all moved out to Colorado, and that’s where Brad learned how to distill. Long story short, my mom (Hudson) decided to open up the distillery once the laws let you do craft distilleries.” Hudson’s husband, Bill, is one of the owners of Fountain Square Brewery. “Distillation is more of an art (than brewing) ... it’s a craft,” Hudson said. “You really do have to know when to make the cutoff, and a lot of people think they know, but when you get a vodka that’s harsh or a whiskey that burns all the way down, it’s because they didn’t make the cuts at the right time.” The distillery began two years ago, and Repeal, the restaurant that is also owned by Hudson, started a year after to allow for the distillery to sell its own bottles of alcohol.

“No distillery can self-distribute its liquor,” Hudson said. “We are a different model than most. (The distillery and restaurant) are right next door, connected by a glass wall. We sell our spirits to the distributor and then the restaurant buys it back.” Aside from selling 12.05’s spirits in the sister restaurant, the distillery has another interesting aspect; Colver only has four fingers on his left hand, a result of a saw accident while completing the build out of the restaurant. The distillery’s first whiskey, “Four Finger Rye Whiskey,” is named after him. “This was a family-and-friends affair … we did all the building ourselves, and that included Brad cutting wood for doors,” Webster said. 12.05’s products are sold in grocery stores, including Marsh and Kroger.

Blueprint for improvement: Upper-level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create a new bathroom while also updating the overall layout of the upper level. 1. The upper level of his house had a large hallway and landing at the top of the stairs that was wasted space. We were able to use this space to improve the overall layout of the floorplan. Larger closets for both bedrooms and a full bathroom for the children were created from the unused area. 2. The master bathroom was updated to include a walk-in shower, a double vanity, herringbone floors and a linen closet. The layout was reworked to enlarge the bathroom footprint into unused attic space. 3. The kids bathroom was created from the unused landing space. It has a double vanity and tub which makes it kid-friendly. A towel cabinet for added storage and a laundry chute are unique touches to this bathroom. 4. An addition on the back of the house was created to house a mudroom. The space gave the homeowners some improved organization and functional storage.
Before Background Info: This 1930s Meridian Kessler home was in need of a serious layout rework. These homeowners were looking for more efficient use of space on their upper level.
Before problems: This home had only one bathroom on the second level and the family needed to add a second full bathroom to accommodate their children. This not only made the whole family happy to have their own spaces but also added value to the home. 12651 CERROMAR CT. | CARMEL, 46033

Helsinki and the czar Commentary by Don Knebel Senate Square is the most popular tourist destination in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The grand statue at its center travel remembers a ruler of Russia, which exercised control over the country for more than a century. After defeating Sweden in 1809, Russia gained control of Finland and made it a duchy, with the Russian czar as duke. In 1812, Czar Alexander I moved the Finnish capital to Helsinki because of its proximity to St. Petersburg. Because much of Helsinki had been destroyed during the war, the czar engaged C. L. Engel, a German-born architect, to design a new city center to match the city’s growing importance. Engel designed a plaza known as Senate Square surrounded by neoclassical buildings, including the Government Palace, the main building of the University of Helsinki, the National Library of Finland and the Helsinki Cathedral. The cathedral, with five green domes and statues of the Twelve Apostles on its roof, was modeled after St. Isaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Completed in 1852, the
cathedral is the most famous building in Finland, attracting 350,000 visitors a year. In 1894, after Czar Alexander II was assassinated in St. Petersburg, the residents of Helsinki erected a statue of him in the middle of Senate Square to recognize his re-establishment of the Diet of Finland in 1867. The love affair with Russia was short-lived. In 1899, Czar Nicholas II began the “Russification of Finland,” cracking down on Finnish autonomy. In protest, residents of Helsinki put flowers at the feet of Alexander II, whom they considered the “good czar.” After Finland gained its independence from Russia in 1917, some people thought keeping a Russian czar in Senate Square was inappropriate. But Helsinki residents decided to maintain the statue and plant colorful flowers at its base, continuing to honor his efforts on their behalf.

The two types of marital conflict Commentary by Logan Everett Couples fight, but what they really fight about? The answer? Absolutely nothing. When it comes to conflict in refamily counsel lationships, there are two different types: solvable and perpetual. Solvable issues have a clear beginning and a clear, concrete, definitive ending. A solvable issue seems less discouraging, less painful and less intense than perpetual. Surprisingly, solvable issues account for only 31 percent of all conflict. Unfortunately, the other 69 percent of conflict is perpetual (unsolvable). Perpetual issues make you feel shut out by your partner; you have the same conversation over and over, but make no progress; you become more set in your position and are unwilling to compromise; you each become enemies that causes you to become even less willing to compromise; you eventually move away from each other emotionally. What conflicts are you dealing with? Are they solvable? Perpetual? Research by Dr. John Gottman tells us there are four attributes that ultimately lead to relationship demise. These relationship busters are appropriately called “The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” They are: criticism, defensiveness, contempt and stonewalling. Almost every person and couple reading this list can relate to criticism and defensiveness. A husband says, “You’re not wearing that to dinner, are you?” The wife counter-attacks with a statement of, “Well at least this dress makes me feel pretty. You haven’t touched me in months!” This is the beginning of conflict, and this will escalate and most likely ruin their dinner, but the couple isn’t truly hearing what the other is saying. The husband sees how beautiful his wife looks and has been feeling inadequate and ashamed ever since he lost his job three months ago. His comment is really saying, “You look so great. I’m afraid you’re going to find something better.” The wife is actually saying, “I want to look good for you, and I am so desperate for your love and affection.” They are fighting for love. All we need to do is listen. Logan Everett is a licensed marriage and family therapist associate and practices on the northeast side of Indianapolis. You may contact him at logan@groffandassociates.com, or call 317-474-6448 ext. 112.
Dispatches Keep ice cream soft – If ice cream tends to get rock hard in your freezer, here’s a tip to soften it up. Place the entire container inside a large Ziploc bag before placing into the freezer. For some reason, this keeps the ice cream scoopably soft. Source: HorizonTimes.com
Easily grate cheese – To keep cheese from sticking to your grater, spray the grater with a little bit of cooking spray. This allows the cheese to grate smoothly and spares your arm. The stickier the cheese, the better this technique works. Source: HorizonTimes.com
