City Council delays anti-discrimination vote again
By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
The Carmel City Council decided to keep its anti-discrimination ordinance in committee for more work instead of voting ordinance on the proposal at its Sept. 21 meeting. As a result, the matter will likely receive a vote on Oct. 5. The proposed law, which comes after the passage of the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, outlaws discrimination for many groups and extends new protections to gay and lesbian groups. City Council President Rick Sharp made an attempt to pull the ordinance out of committee, but four city councilors – Eric Seidensticker, Luci Snyder, Carol Schleif and Kevin “Woody” Rider – voted to keep the bill in committee. Councilors Ron Carter and Sue Finkam joined Sharp in attempting to bring it to a vote. “I never intended for this item to go to committee,” Sharp said. “This is an item of intense interest and an item of intense emotion … This sausage absolutely needed to be made on television. I wanted media and attention and broadcast … I believe we could have made more progress in the last month.” Sharp said Snyder has committed to having a special meeting on Oct. 1 and believes the ordinance should be ready for a vote on Oct. 5. Snyder said she opposes discrimination but thinks the law needs more work. “The ordinance in front of us has specific

words in it and it is three pages long,” she said. “Here’s an anti-discrimination ordinance from Columbus and it is 22 pages long.” Snyder said many terms need to be specifically defined in the ordinance. “When you create a law, it has to be the words that you want it to be,” Snyder said. The last time the ordinance was brought up at a meeting of the Carmel City Council, it led to three hours of public comment. At that meeting, speakers against the ordinance far outnumbered speakers for ordinance, although supporters packed the chambers with stickers and matching red shirts. At the Sept. 21 meeting, Sharp introduced a new rule: only new speakers were allowed
and there would be a two-minute time limit. At this meeting, every speaker supported the ordinance. Megan Roberson, from Tech for Equality, talked about how the ordinance is a business issue. She represents a group that was recently formed to support LGBT rights in Indiana. It includes companies such as Salesforce.com, Angie’s List and NextGear Capital. The meeting also included young speakers, including a gay man in his twenties who moved to Carmel because he was told it is a welcoming community, and a Carmel High School freshman. “I attended the last city council meeting and frankly some of the comments shocked me,” said Chris Moe, a student at CHS.
CFD receives grant, award for assistance program By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Fire Department’s Mobile Integration Healthcare program was on a trial run for its first year, but its sucpublic safety cess and a recent grant will allow it to become a full-time service. The MIH program’s services include detailed health assessments, blood pressure monitoring, medication help and social integration for people who have recently been released from the hospital. It had been available Monday through Friday for 7 1/2 hours each day, but a $50,000 grant from St. Vincent Carmel and the St. Vin-
cent Foundation, presented Sept. 21, will allow it to be operational every hour of every day. “We started it on a trial basis to make sure there was a need in the community, and what we found out was a resounding yes,” said Jon Alverson, EMS training captain. “Some people need things as simple as picking up trip hazards and as complicated (as) transitioning to nursery facilities.” For implementing the MIH program, the Carmel Fire Department was given the Liberty Mutual Firemark Award for Community Service and Public Education. Chief David Haboush accepted the honor at CFD headquarters on Sept. 18. “We decided we would give it to this depart-
ment because (the MIH program) is the first of its kind (in Indiana),” said Carrie Graham, Liberty Mutual Insurance sales representative. As the local Firemark Award winner, CFD will be considered for Liberty Mutual’s national award for community service. The national winner receives a $10,000 grant. Scott Stroup, one of CFD’s community paramedics, said it has been an important program. “We’re working with a lot of the elderly and those with limited mobility and some of their health issues, trying to keep them independent and in their home as long as they can,” Stroup said. “It’s nice to get a little recognition for all that we do.”

CFD to host open houses By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 4 to 10, and the Carmel Fire Dept. will host open houses from 5 to 8 p.m. at four stapublic safety tions Oct. 8 to educate the public and let them get an up-close look at life in the firehouse. “[Attendees] can tour the station and see the fire trucks and the apparatuses and the equipment, and we get to explain everything to them,” CFD Deputy Fire Marshal Keith Freer said. “The firefighters get to know the neighbors and the neighbors get to know the firefighters and ask all kinds of questions about what firefighters do.” The public can also learn about fire prevention and fire safety in homes, correct smoke and carbon monoxide detector use and how to minimize fire hazards. Although the open houses are the only
scheduled event for Fire Prevention Week, Freer said that CFD firefighters make an effort throughout the year to educate the public about fire prevention. Throughout October, the department will focus on teaching preschoolers about fire prevention. Later, fourth graders will be its focus. “We utilize a device called a hazard house. It’s like a big, cut away doll house with Plexiglas and six to eight different rooms,” Freer said. “We identify fire and safety hazards in those rooms, talk about them and how we can minimize that and not have fires in the house.”

Work continues on several Old Town Design Group projects By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
Old Town Design Group is proceeding with several new projects around Carmel, including a nursing home, development houses, apartments and two buildings that are part of the Midtown project. Justin Moffett of Old Town Design Group said he’s already received calls from people interested in the Green House Cottages nursing home facility on East 126th Street. He also held an early event for Sunrise on the Monon, which features homes built where the old Sunrise Golf Course used to be along Range Line Road. Sunrise on the Monon apartments should be under construction beginning in November with move-in dates in the spring. Moffett said he feels good about the progress of both projects, but admits his crews could only work on about 40 percent of the work days the past three months because of rainy weather. Meanwhile, the Midtown project is on an accelerated schedule because of a spring 2017 move-in date for the corporate headquarters
of Merchants Bank. Moffett wants to start on construction for the Merchants Bank building by January, but before he can do that he needs to begin work on a parking garage. The land where the parking garage will be built is currently home to Miller Auto Care, which agreed to sell its land on the condition that they be relocated first, so a free-standing building is making its way through the approval process to be built on Range Line Road. “Those are the two pieces in the domino stack that needed to fall first,” Moffett said. The parking garage will be “a beast,” Moffett said, with 1,050 spaces in a multi-story parking structure. Moffett has said he intends to use tax increment financing to help pay for the project. Down the road, he said there might be around three garages to serve the entire Midtown project, if not more. “We are trying to walk this fine line to make sure we have enough parking but not too much parking,” he said. “There’s no bigger waste than building an expensive parking garage and two floors are empty.”

Dr. Nicholas Wahl speaks on the State of the Schools at the OneZone Chamber of Commerce luncheon. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Carmel Clay Schools Superintendent Dr. Nicholas Wahl joined Hamilton Southeastern Superintendent Dr. Allen Bourf to present the State of the Schools to the OneZone Chamber of Commerce luncheon Sept. 16.
What happened: Wahl explained that Carmel Youth Assistance Program will be starting this year. Why it matters: YAP is a program for students who are at risk of either not graduating high school or ending up in a juvenile system. “This is a safety net to track these students and be preventative and make them into productive citizens,” Wahl said. “It is an exciting partnership we are very proud of this year.” What happened: Wahl said that the high school is looking at expanding opportunities for students to increase college readiness. Why it matters: There is a student approach through the high school that looks at activities to balance social and emotional aspects of student learning. Part of this project is students helping run and create clubs, exampled by Molly McGuire, a CHS senior who is the vice president of retail operations for the Carmel Café and Market. What happened: Carmel Clay Schools and the city of Carmel was named the best community for music education from the National Association of Music Merchants. Why it matters: Wahl said that the district’s music education has provided a broader opportunity to the high school students in addition to the “amazing clubs and sports activities” already available. With the approximately 5,000 students at CHS, there are 154 clubs and 20 school sponsored sports. “I want to emphasize the clubs and activities opportunities that students have that make this school a community,” Wahl said. “There are lots opportunities for students to find a home, niche or group to spend time with. … It’s really a community within a community.”

Carmel City Council recap
Compiled by Adam Aasen
What happened: The Carmel City Council introduced its budget for 2016. What it means: Workshops were held on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24 to discuss the budget for each department in a public forum. The total budget is $125,258,011 with a general fund budget of $83,751,935. The property tax rate would be set at 71.43 cents per $100 of assessed value, an increase from the current rate of 70.07 cents.
What’s next: No member of the public spoke at the public hearing on the budget on Sept. 21 so City Council President Rick Sharp kept the public hearing open, meaning the public can speak on the issue at the next council meeting Oct. 5.
What happened: An ordinance was introduced with new parking restrictions. What it means: The proposed amendments to parking laws would mean that a “person may not stop, stand, or park a vehicle, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or to avoid conflict with law or the directions of a police officer or traffic control,” in numerous places including on a sidewalk, in front of a driveway, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk, on a bridge and many other places designated in the changes to law.
What’s next: Sent to the Utilities, Transportation and Public Safety Committee, which meets on Oct. 1.
KEY to the CURE
What happened: The council approved dedicating the Carmel Fire Station No. 45 as “The Douglas Callahan Fire Station” What it means: Doug Callahan is a Clay Township trustee and former chief of the Carmel Fire Department. He’s been instrumental in getting several fire stations rebuilt or renovated in Carmel, including station No. 44.
What’s next: The resolution was approved unanimously without debate.

The first two events were held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, but Kampmeier said she wanted to bring her event to Hamilton County. “The whole purpose is for families to get together and have fun, do hands-on activities,” she said. “We don’t connect as families. Who sits down for dinner anymore? So turn off the TV and put down the cellphone and enjoy each other.” Kampmeier said the event’s target audience runs from expecting moms all the way to families with children of about 11 years old. “I wanted to expand this so it didn’t just focus on the babies or toddlers, but focused on the entire family,” Kampmeieir said. There will be 70 vendors and 25 activities for families at Family Fest.

“We want people to shop and buy local,” Kampmeier said. A Diaper Crawl will be held for infants younger than 9 months, which will offer prizes. “Another event is the Daddyathon, which is a fast-paced obstacle course,” Kampmeier said. “It’s where the dads or partners have to [complete] a series of tasks, such as changing a diaper on the baby. They can win items from Chicco. The stroller set we’re giving away is valued at over $3,000.” Among the activities will be football drills
and skills conducted by the IndyTornados and soccer shots. Also available will be the Hoosier Game Hut mobile video game truck. There will be a stage with an assortment of live entertainment including singing, dancing and a fashion show. Demi Mays, a children’s performing and recording artist, will perform at 11:30 a.m. There will be Canvas Painting for kids to take a painting home as well. The Life in the Pregnant Lane area will have shopping items such as formula and diapers. There also will be visits by various Indiana princesses from various ages. Kampmeier is partnering with the nonprofit Cool Bus, an Indianapolis mobile literary arts center. “We’re promoting literacy so anyone who brings a book to our event will receive $1 off the admission,” Kampmeier said.

Carmel Clay Historical Society celebrates 40 years By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Like the city itself, the Carmel Clay Historical Society has continually grown since its inception 40 years ago. anniversary CCHS’s first major project was the preservation of the Monon Depot, which was built in 1883. The CCHS is housed in the Monon Depot Museum. The nonprofit serves as the repository for documents, photographs and information of Carmel’s 178-year history. Many of the longtime CCHS members, including two charter members, R. Carol Skinner and Beverly Weaver, talked about the history of the organization before the election of officers and board members on Sept. 13. At first, Weaver wondered how much history there could be in a small town, but she found plenty. “Now it’s a city, we have mayors, and it’s wonderful,” Weaver said. Former CCHS president and board member Fred Swift wasn’t involved in CCHS from the beginning, but knows there is another reason it was started. “When the organization was established, it was done at least partially for the national bicentennial the next year,” Swift said. “Carmel
and every community probably were encouraged to have a local part in the bicentennial.” For years, Carmel elementary school students have taken CCHSguided tours on field trips. Ginny Terpening, a retired teacher, said during the walking tour for second graders they show the children enlarged photographs. “We walk down where the grain elevator was and we have a big picture Long-time CCHS volunteers discuss 40 years of organizaof the grain elevator,” Terpening said. tion.

Battle with depression leads to new hobby for Carmel woman By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Many people find their passion early in life – maybe through a hobby or a chance occurrence. For 26-year-old Alison Czarcinski, it was a battle with depression after her arts father’s death in February that led her to discover a zest for photography. “It occurred to me several months after his passing that life is uncontrollably transient and unpredictable. It was then that I realized I wanted to capture what I think are the core components of life – time, unpredictability, meaning and emotions – through pictures,” she said. “I have found that for me, photograCzarcinski phy has become a medley of passion, escapism and storytelling.” A 2012 graduate of Purdue University with a degree in liberal arts, Czarcinski grew up in Northern Virginia and recently
These days she’s armed with a Nikon DSLR 3200. Her goal: to become the next Annie Leibovitz or Yousef Karsh. “I have been studying these two eminent photographers because in one way or another, their bodacious pictures have struck a chord with me,” Czarcinski said. “They’re both very disciplined in their crafts.” Czarcinski describes Yousef as “wise and very humble” and the work of Leibovitz as “audacious and completely unorthodox.” Czarcinski is fond of using the long exposure technique to create “surreal” images of moving objects, such as a flying plane or spinning Ferris wheel. She never gave much thought to what subject she wanted to focus her photography on until her best friend pointed out that she was a people watcher. “I find capturing a person’s feelings on film to be an extraordinary sight,” she said. “The emotions are deep and real.” View Czarcinski’s work at www.GetYourShutterOn.com.

In the Studio with Peter Falk By Carolyn Martens
Peter Falk works on a carving. (submitted photo)
What kind of art do you do? “I handcraft custom furniture and carvings from local trees. Each tree’s story of enduring time and place is written into its unique pattern of growth rings – I translate that story into an art form that my clients can use daily.” What’s your process? “I find a storm-damaged, fallen tree, pull it out of the woods with my father and mill the wood on our sawmill. After drying the lumber, I use hand and power tools to reveal the rich colors and the vibrant textures previously hidden in the
rough-sawn boards. Next I carefully lay out the individual parts of the piece so that the grain and color from one piece flows into the next to create a cohesive whole.” When did you start? “Around 34 years ago, I made dugout canoes with my brother for our G.I. Joe men. My dad and grandfather taught us woodworking for 4-H and beyond.” If your art were a food, what type would it be? “Locally grown classic food with a modern twist.” What kind of music? “A Beethoven composition.” Find Peter’s work at ArtSplash Gallery and falkwoodstudio.com.

From humble beginnings, State Sen. Mike Delph becomes a household name By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Growing up just north of the Home Place area in the 1970s, Mike Delph might not have seemed like someone destined for statewide fame. He was the third of four boys raised by cover story a single mother who worked as a bank teller at First Indiana Bank in Nora. His father, who divorced his mother, lived in Iowa and then South Carolina. According to Delph, money was tight. Yet despite being financially strapped and often sent to the principal’s office for getting into fights, many people saw a bright future for Delph. “Yes, he would get himself into trouble quite often,” said Bruce Breeden, who was principal of Carmel Middle School at the time. “But he also was a strong leader, so I’m not surprised that he’s where he is today.” These days, Delph is a Republican state senator from Carmel and a favorite among Tea Party groups. Many people have asked him to run for U.S. Senate to fill Dan Coats’ seat. He declined to run, not because he doesn’t desire higher office, but because of the one thing that has shaped who he is more than anything else: his family.
MODEST UPBRINGING
Although Delph has nothing bad to say about his mother, growing up he craved a strong male role model. He said he used to watch TV shows like “Father Knows Best,” wishing he had a family like that. Delph graduated from Carmel High School and went to Indiana University in Bloomington where he found three things he loves to this day: his Christian faith, playing the guitar and his wife, Beth. He met his wife through Campus Crusade for Christ and they have five girls together. He said his family is his top priority. “I’m not going to pursue anything politically that can risk my family,” he said. Delph stayed close to his brothers, including his brother, Steve, who lives with his mother in Carmel. Steve made headlines in 2014 when an Indianapolis newspaper ran a story with the headline, “Sen. Mike Delph, leading lawmaker for gay marriage ban, has gay brother.” Delph said his opposition to gay marriage based on his Christian faith doesn’t mean he hates gay people at all. “I fought for him,” he said of his brother. “I pulled him out of fights where people beat him up for being gay. It bothers me. I don’t believe you judge people based on any characteristic. I

love my brother. And anyone who goes after him has to come through me. My brother, Steve, has the right to pursue happiness just like me or anyone else does.”
POLITICAL BEGINNINGS
After college, Delph took a job working for U.S. Rep. Dan Burton, who was a longtime friend of Delph’s parents, eventually serving as chief of staff. At age 30, he decided to run for his first political office: Indiana Secretary of State, and he was up against seasoned politicians. At the nominating convention, Richard Mourdock’s team circulated a flyer suggesting that Delph dropped out of the race, which didn’t happen, and that Delph had endorsed Mourdock. “It took me years to get over that one. It was a very aggravating feeling, but I believe the good Lord put me in that place to make connections so I could be where I am today,” Delph said. After that disappointing experience, Delph did some soulsearching to see if he still wanted to pursue politics as a
career. He took a career evaluation to see what might be right for him. He tested off the charts to be an economist or a judge. “I said, ‘What about politics?’ [The evaluator] said, ‘It could be the worst thing you could do because you view the world as black and white. You could not handle the negotiations and deal making that goes on. It would drive you crazy.’” Delph said. “My wife reminds me every time a conflict comes up. There’s no doubt. I’m a black and white person.”
about mike delph • Age: 45 • Birthplace: Weymouth, Mass. • Education: Carmel High School, bachelor’s, master’s and law degrees from Indiana University • Military background: Major in U.S. Army Reserves • Profession: General counsel for CarDon & Associates • Political office: Indiana State Senate, 2005 to present • Musical dream: To play guitar with Noel Gallagher of Oasis or Paul McCartney. “I’d probably raise a million dollars to play guitar with them for an hour. I’d probably be ready for death.”

Ann Hampton Callaway entertained the audience with her soulful voice, wit and charm. She sang the hits of Barbra Streisand along with a few of her own original songs. Callaway is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical “Swing!” and for writing and singing the theme to the TV series, “The Nanny.” During the concert, Callaway decided to write and sing a song with the help of the audience. She ended up with a funny little ditty which was about a couple, Harold and Hillary, who ended up on a crazy date at Carmel’s own Bub’s Burgers. Thank you, Tania C. Moskalenko, for bringing brilliant talent and pizzazz to the beautiful Center for the Performing Arts.
Sharon Terry of Carmel along with her friends from The Stratford Songbook Series Grace and Jim Snyder said they had a ball meeting Ann Hampton Callaway and loved her performance.

This is pretty cool, we believe. The U.K. Roundabout Appreciation Society has selected one of Carmel’s roundabouts for its 2016 calendar. The roundabout on West Main Street near the Arts & Design District arch will represent August in the British group’s calendar. Accidents are down, accident-associated costs are down, emissions are down and the lengthy traffic jams are down. Too bad there can’t be a roundabout at Main Street and Range Line Road. ••• We agree with Carmel City Council sending the anti-discrimination ordinance back to committee for more work. If it’s going to become law, it should be letter perfect. ••• We were mildly disappointed, but certainly not in any way surprised, to learn unionbusting Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) dropped out of the Republican Party race for the nomination for the presidency. It seems Walker either was “too much too soon” for the party leadership or we were just wishfully thinking he really had a chance to make things interesting. We suspect he was advised out under the threat of having his spine removed, as was the case with so many before him. ••• No less an authority than USA Today’s empaneled experts have anointed Carly Fiorina the frontrunner for the GOP bid for the White House.

So please forgive the remedial lesson to those in the know but a hashtag (#) aids in categorizing information broadcast on social media and the letters (TBT) represent Throw Back Thursday, which is the day designated for reminiscing online. The moniker usually accompanies a photo of the person making the post from a much earlier time in their life. The pictures generally showcase one’s poor fashion sense, challenging coiffure, or dedication to an outdated fad. It seems the more embarrassing the reminiscence, the better. One’s parachute pants, Vanilla Ice-like lightning bolt fade haircut and Macarena dance moves might all be fair game. Nostalgia with a bit of self-deprecating humor guides the intent and no harm is done. One of my college friends has taken to blasting the occasional #TBT with my name
attached. It is all harmless enough – even good, clean fun. However, in the 30-plus years since I last woke up in a dorm room, much has changed. For example, one of our compatriots from the 1980s generation took offense at a photograph of her featuring her “towering mall bangs” hairstyle. While the very engineering of her coif was impressive, she found it resurrected painful memories of a then boyfriend who’d eventually become an ex-husband. Politely, our friend obliged in removing the photo from social media. But the self-imposed censorship invited a quandary. Who owns our past if we all have stock in a time and place that we once shared? Besides, can we legitimately hope to erase the reality of bad hair and cheating spouses? Maybe our focus should be keeping our contemporary life in order and simply let the past pass. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. – Thomas Edison
Life as a working mother of four can be chaotic. Throw in a lab that still insists on the occasional indoor poo, humor a slightly ADD husband who hunts, skis and plays in two fantasy football leagues and a house that is slowly but surely decompensating, and you’ve got a recipe for Crazy Lady Casserole. As such, I’m hoping to forestall my almost certain stint at Perpetual Peace Sanatorium by finding ways to channel my inner Zen. And not to brag, but I think I’ve actually come up with a decent plan. I’m calling it Be Calm, Stay Calm. First up in my Serenity Now strategy is yoga. I had to quit geriatric yoga a while back to cart my kids all over God’s creation of central Indiana suburbia, but now, thanks to voodoo magic and the alignment of Jupiter and Mars, my Monday afternoons are nearly wide open. I started again last week, and though I was awkward and stiff and as unbalanced as a newborn giraffe, after one hour I actually felt relaxed. My thoughts weren’t ping-ponging around in my head per usual, and the constant stiffness in my neck had dissipated. Namaste! My first step in remaining institution-free was a resounding success. Next on the anti-cuckoo agenda is Church. I fell out of the Sunday mass habit over the summer, partially because my spouse isn’t Catholic but mostly because I’m lazy. I soon realized, however, that despite the hassle, I kind of like that weekly dose of ritual and reflection. I don’t always pay attention, and I sometimes leave early, but I do enjoy that hour of sitting with my children and contemplating things greater than myself. Amen! Another notch in the Keep-It-Together belt is claimed! Finally, on a more practical level, I’ve hired a driver. Sure he’s only had his license for five months and actually wrecked his grandfather’s car four days after acquiring said license, but he’s relatively inexpensive and extremely flexible. Woot-woot! Here’s to outsourcing chauffer services to your oldest son! So there you have it. My three-part plan for Sane Lady Soufflé. Peace out.

READERS ’ V I E W S Editor, The time has come. We can wait no longer. We have to have it. And that is our own daily newspaper. Or at least three or four days a week for all of us. Not just Carmel, but Fishers and maybe Zionsville, too. Yes Current is good as far as it goes but it doesn’t go far enough. We all need to read about our sporting events, our teachers, our schools, our politicians, our businesses more than one day a week. We need a paper. We need our own sportswriter, our own business column, our own photographer. We don’t need to read about our city in the Indy Star and how we feel about various circumstances that occur here. We need a paper for adequate dialogue and a forum for readers who advocate issues and pushback
Residents should learn traffic laws at trail crossing Editor, I am so glad you have addressed (the Monon Trail crossing at Main Street) and I do think it is an issue. I know that users of the Monon are supposed to stop for traffic but I think you are the only other person who knows this. I do not stop for people using the trail unless they obviously will get hit because they are going so fast. Many do not even look before crossing. I have been yelled at, screamed at for not stopping. I only wish that this wasn’t an issue. Francie Wolos, Carmel
from those who don’t. Politicians need a voice, as well as their opponents, and we need to see and read how they feel. (Current in Carmel) is not without its advertisers. There seem to be plenty and the additional costs to the publisher appear to be minimal considering the coverage area of the entire north side. Housing, commerce, advertisers are relocating on the north side in droves but most of our daily news is about crime and politics in Indianapolis. It is time. We need our own voice. We need news. We can do it better and we will do it better. Well over 100,000 live on the north side and are underserved by a weekly as good as it is. We would all benefit. Bernard Lally, Carmel
Consistency needed at trail crossings Editor, Thank you, thank you for your commentary regarding the Monon crossing at Main St. I would like to add the crossing at 136th also. Little is being done to educate the Monon users that the stop sign applies to them, not the driver. The drivers who stop to allow the pedestrians or bikers to cross are not doing them a favor. The Monon users have developed a false sense of security that all drivers will stop to allow their crossing. I’ve seen numerous close calls due to the assumption that the cars will stop, no matter what. I think the flashing yellow caution lights only add to the problem because drivers assume they have to stop if they see a pedestrian or biker approaching the trail. And I agree with you that the policeman statue gives the same impression to the driver. More needs to be done to educate the Monon users that the cars have the right of way or else stop signs should be installed for the drivers at all of the crossings. One way or another, but we need consistency! Sue Herman, Carmel

I Filed for Divorce. NOW WHAT!? Once service of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage has been completed and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed are custody of the children, parenting time, possession of the marital residence, and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.” If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will set the matter to be heard and notify each party of the hearing date. Frequently, these hearings are only scheduled from fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minutes, though there are instances in which a longer hearing is needed and that amount of time must be specifically requested. Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the to parties reach an agreement on all provisional issues which is then submitted for court approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship between the divorcing
parties, and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause. In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the preliminary hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing. However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the preliminary hearing, the Judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until a final hearing can be held. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. After the preliminary hearing, parties will enter negotiations to reach a final settlement. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

ZCHS choirs present Purdue Glee Club By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Purdue Varsity Glee Club makes its appearance at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, Purdue senior Austin Rauschuber will feel right at home. “I’m so excited to be able to come back to Zimusic onsville to sing for my senior year,” Rauschuber said. “Zionsville is a wonderful town that raised me well, and I can’t wait to be back among friends and acquaintances on the stage where I learned to love singing.” The concert with the Purdue men’s choir will start at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the ZPAC, which is connected to Zionsville Community High School. “My time in the choirs at Zionsville Community High School have helped prepare me for so much in my life, from my musical experiences to my professional experiences,” said Rauschuber, a tenor. “From my time in Zionsville’s choir program, I was able to learn so much about my voice and help to train myself to become a strong singer, when I had very little experience with how my own voice worked before coming into the program. The choir program also helped to train me to develop a strong work ethic and a great sense of teamwork. In the modern collaborative work environment, it’s programs like Zionsville’s choirs that help set upcoming generations for success.” Purdue’s Glee Cub, under the direction of William Griffel, features a versatile repertoire including gospel, vocal jazz, swing, contemporary hits, romantic ballads, classical choral selections, barbershop, folk melodies, patriotic standards, opera choruses, country and novelty tunes. The choral group utilizes small groups and talented soloists to further enhance each show. The 90-minute show will include a combined song with Zionsville Show Choirs, Royalaires and Choralaires. Together they will sing the “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” “This is an excellent opportunity, for our students, to work with a collegiate choir,” said Deana Broge, who directs the choirs with Aaron Coates. “Our students will have a rehearsal with the Glee Club and their director, Bill Griffel, have dinner with them and then get to watch them perform.” Broge was formerly a director of the Purduettes. “Yes, there is a certain amount of nostalgia in hosting the Purdue Varsity Glee Club at Zionsville Community High School, but the best reason to host this fundraising concert is to have Dance! Lenape Indian Traditions – Oct. 3 from 1-2 p.m. Join members of the Lenape Tribe of Oklahoma at Conner Prairie as they bring their colorful dress, culture and dance traditions to life. Experience a combination of pow-wow and social dances, discover the meaning of the songs and traditions and join the dancers in their rhythmic steps. For more, visit connerprairie.org.

some area Purdue students back home,” Broge said. Joining Rauschuber are five students from Hamilton County, including two Hamilton Southeastern High School graduates, Trevor Peters and Rob Mantock. The others are Aaron Corbett, Noblesville High School; John Evelo, Carmel High School and Patrick Montgomery, Fishers High School. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For ticket information, visit zchoirs.com or Zvilleperformingarts.com. Tickets also are available by calling 733-4833 and at the door.
Julie Tiller, who was president of Zionsville Show Choirs Inc. last year and the parent of a Royalaires member, said the money raised is going to help with costumes and travel for their competition season. “It’s not only serving as an educational opportunity to show our kids what they can do in college to keep their interest alive, it’s providing the community with a wonderful evening of entertainment,” Tiller said. “And it’s helping raise funds for our current show choir program.”

Scott Fitzgerald that was adapted into two movies, will come to a profesperformance sional Indiana stage for the first time Sept. 20-Oct. 25 at the Indiana Reparatory Theatre. “‘The Great Gatsby’ is such a perfect season opener for us because it celebrates the American character in all its many facets: our sense of striving for success, our belief in our ability to reinvent ourselves, our resilience in the face of obstacles, our national belief in romance,” stated Janet Allen, IRT executive artistic director. “It provides thrilling challenges for artists to create Fitzgerald’s iconic images and characters vigorously on the stage.” Many special events will take place over the course of the production, including an opening night party where those who attend can come in their favorite 1925 attire, a ladies’ night out including wine and painting in addition to the production and more.

They’ve played together for 2 1/2 years as The Vinyl Cats. On Sept. 18, they opened for Pugwash, an Irish pop band, at The Warehouse in Carmel. “It was the most prestigious concert we played,” Ken said. The Vinyl Cats have previously played summer festivals in Maumee, Ohio, twice and online concerts. Ken is the lead singer, but Patrick sang a Panic at the Disco song, “Northern Downpour.” “I was nervous because it was the first audience we actually played for that was actually listening to us and paying attention,” Patrick said. “It was a good experience. There were a lot of people there I knew personally and that was a little nerve-racking.” The Vinyl Cats opened with a 12-song set. Ken plays guitar and Patrick plays the piano and saxophone on one song. “We were fortunate we got to play with Thomas Walsh (lead singer) from Pugwash for

the last two numbers of our set,” Ken said. “It was a pretty nice mix of original songs, Beatles-inspired pop music and covers.” Ken Thornton, a touring guitarist and a lead guitarist for The Rutles (Beatles parody band), joined The Vinyl Cats for the set. “I played with (Thorton) and the Rutles’ main songwriter Neil Innes before,” Ken Simpson said. “(Thorton) played all the lead guitar on my EP (extended play CD).” The Simpsons hope to play more gigs. “But it’s hard during the school year because I’m so busy with my classes and all the stuff I do,” Patrick said. “This is the first time we had to prepare for a show while I’m in school.”

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Even though homemade (tailgater-engineered) ice chests were used as far back as man was able to cut blocks of ice, the official birth of the modern cooler was in the 1950s. In 1954, Coleman Company offered a galvanized cooler and after that, began to offer ice chests with foam insulated plastic liners. With improvements over time we now have a Coleman cooler that keeps ice for five days in 90-degree heat, honest! They also make stackers (coolers) which have square corners and fit easily into a vehicle without wasting space. Our rules for coolers: • Load coolers with items already cold. • Use plenty of ice. • Food safety requires separate coolers for food and beverages. • Have coolers that are sized and shaped to fit into your vehicle. • Try to buy coolers in team colors. Here’s a great tailgate item to fit into your cooler for dessert. It’s a lemon drop bar that’s not too sweet and not too tart. Ingredients: • 2 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour • 1/2+ Cup powdered sugar • 2 sticks softened butter • 4 eggs, lightly beaten • 1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar • 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon zest • 1/2 Cup fresh squeezed lemon juice • 10 crushed lemon drops Preparation: On the day before, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Trending to a balanced market Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana continues to trend toward a more balanced market as fewer homes become available and real estate selling prices rise. For August 2015, Tucker’s data revealed an 11.1 percent decline in home sales compared to August 2014. However, average year-to-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $186,087. All nine central Indiana counties F.C. Tucker tracks experienced varying declines of inventory. Hamilton County saw a 7.5 percent decline in inventory while the average yearto-date sale price for the county climbed 3.4 percent to $278,093. • In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sale price remained nearly level to this time last year, increasing a modest 0.5 percent to $351,087. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, 16 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 39 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 40 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 25 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999
or less. • Inventory moved at a slower pace in Carmel in August 2015. Overall, homes sold in 67 days – four more days than this time last year. • Buyers in Carmel had slightly fewer options available to them. Last month, 565 homes were available for sale, which were 18 fewer homes compared to August 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Carmel. In August 2015, 121 homes sold – a decline of 13 homes compared to August 2014. The residential real estate story in the Indianapolis area continues to be declining inventory and increasing prices. Although we saw a slight decline in home sales in August, the overall trend is positive. Interest rates and unemployment remain low, and consumer confidence is relatively strong.

Learn the facts about Social Security claiming
Commentary by Joel Harris
Social Security will undoubtedly play a major role in your retirement income planning. If you’re divorced and your money never remarried, it is imperative to learn about specific claiming strategies that can potentially have a huge impact on your retirement. Let me share an example with you. Dave and Jane were married for 23 years, but unfortunately the marriage ended in a divorce three years ago. Dave remarried, Jane did not. Jane is 65 years old and is starting to plan her retirement from a successful nursing career. Her full retirement age is 66, and her projected monthly Social Security benefit is $1,896 per month based on her income history. Her ex-spouse, Dave, is 66 and his projected benefit at full retirement age is $2,516 per month. Most people in Jane’s shoes would claim their own benefit at age 66 without considering the divorced spousal benefits that are available. Because Jane was married to Dave for over 10 years and never remarried, she is eligible to claim half of Dave’s social security benefit at her full retirement age (66). Why would Jane think about taking half of his benefit, which is roughly $1,258 per month, when her own benefit is $1,896 per month? When she elects to take half of Dave’s benefit, her own monthly benefit will increase
8 percent per year, until age 70, under the delayed retirement credits provision. That being said, her $1,896 benefit will increase to approximately $2,503 per month at age 70. At age 70, she can switch from half of Dave’s benefit, which is $1,258, to her own benefit, which has grown to $2,503 per month. In this example, Jane will break even around the age of 74 years and 11 months. If she lives to be the age of 90, Jane will collect approximately $661,032 in benefits by utilizing the ex-spouse claiming strategy vs. collecting $546,048 from her own benefits record. That is over $115,000 in additional benefits she could potentially lose out on if she didn’t research the facts before claiming her Social Security benefits. In the above-mentioned example, I did not factor in annual cost of living adjustments because they are unknown at this time. Please keep in mind this is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual. Consult with a competent financial professional for advice regarding your particular situation.

A pair of new technologies — which some experts predict will become the mainstream methods of locating breast cancer and analyzing cancerous legions — are making their area debut at the St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Center. Dr. Erica Giblin, a breast surgeon at the hospital, has been using both new technologies — radioactive seed localization and MarginProbe — since earlier this summer. The St.Vincent Carmel Women’s Center is the first and only hospital in central Indiana to implement the new technologies. “We just started utilizing this new technology in July and we’ve done quite a few of these procedures,” Dr. Giblin said. “Most of the patients say that localization was actually easier than the biopsy they had to go through in the radiology department to determine their cancer.” Noblesville resident Debbie Bush was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and chemotherapy treatment left her cancer-free. When it came time to take a tissue sample to confirm her cancer’s disappearance, the radioactive seed localization procedure replaced one using a wire latched onto the cancerous area. “The wire is long, sometimes it enters the skin remote from where the actual legion is, so in theory you could cut in the wrong space and then you’ve got to tunnel down quite far to get to the actual legion,” Dr. Giblin said. “So from a cosmetic standpoint, that’s not great, and from an accuracy standpoint it might not be great.” Patients have been known to faint at the sight of the wire coming out of their skin, but the new procedure is less of a burden for patients and more accurate for doctors. The new procedure begins with a radiologist using ultrasound or mammogram technology to put a needle directly in the center of the targeted cancerous region. Then a doctor uses a probe that acts like a homing device to

show precisely where to make an incision. Weighing her options, Bush said it was easy for her to decide on the radioactive seed procedure versus the traditional method involving an exposed wire. “I chose that because I felt like that would make [the doctor’s] job easier,” Bush said. “My tumor had shrunk completely so she needed to know where to go exactly to go where that cancer had originated to get the tissue she needed.” Once Giblin has the tissue she needs, she can make use of the hospital’s other new technology — MarginProbe — which can help prevent additional surgeries by instantly analyzing the specimen to determine if its edges are positive or negative with tumor cells. Without the technology, patients could have to return for additional surgery the following week if microscopic tumor cells were spreading. “With both of these technologies together, they’re showing they can decrease the rate of having to take a woman back for re-incision if there was a positive tumor by up to 50 percent,” Dr. Giblin said. “That’s a huge number.”

Family turns basement into entertainment headquarters Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to achieve an inviting and engaging room for the whole family to enjoy. 1. Custom wainscoting was installed to create a feature wall that allowed the crawl space access to blend right in. 2. Built-in cabinetry allowed the perfect storage solution for family scrapbooks and allowed the media equipment to be hidden from view. 3. A new electric fireplace and large projector screen now create a prime focal point in the room. 4. A small bar with glass tile was added for easy entertaining. 5. Additional columns were added to create a continuous flow and more defined area for furniture. 6. Soft gray paint and LED lighting contributed to the transitional style of the space.
Before
Background Info: This newer home is located in the Brookhaven Subdivision in Zionsville. The basement was originally completed with spec finishes but the clients were ready for a more custom basement.
Before problems: The family spent a lot of time in this space and wanted to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. The columns were awkwardly placed, the entertainment center was too small, and the crawl space access was easily noticed. A small wet bar area was also desired for entertainment.

To most people, the Vikings were uncivilized brutes, who plundered and ravished Christian Europe during the Middle Ages. travel In fact, the Vikings (or Norsemen) were skilled explorers and traders, whose legacy can be seen in the small town of Sigtuna, Sweden. The Vikings were descendants of Germanic tribes who settled in what is now Scandinavia. They were originally farmers, but became seafarers in the eighth century, perhaps seeking new lands for their heirs to cultivate. Using their technologically advanced “long boats,” Vikings ventured as far west as what is now Newfoundland and as far east as Constantinople, trading with the people they found and occasionally establishing settlements. If they learned that the people they encountered were not good fighters, they sometimes found it easier to plunder and steal than farm or trade, giving rise to their current reputation. Lacking paper or parchment, Vikings wrote on stone slabs called “runestones” using phonetic letters formed by easy-to-carve straight lines. Runestones usually memorialized Viking
“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.” -Janice H.
dead but sometimes chronicled noteworthy accomplishments or identified property. The writing on runestones typically followed a serpentine path around the stone. After Vikings adopted Christianity in the 10th century, runestones often contained a cross. Vikings founded Sigtuna in 980 A.D., making it the oldest town in Sweden. The current layout of the town follows the original Viking design and contains about 150 runestones, the most of any city in the world. Some runestones were reused as building material, but several remain upright and legible. Sigtuna, where Sweden’s coins were first minted, today has a population of about 8,500, but retains a medieval feel, with a picturesque main street, low wooden buildings and a magnificent thirteenth century brick Gothic church Sigtuna, a 45-minute drive from Stockholm, provides an opportunity to learn about the Vikings. One lesson – their battle helmets never included horns. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.
