Finished trail spans Carmel By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel celebrated the completion of a trail connection that stretches from Zionsville on the west to transportation Fishers on the east. Local officials and bike enthusiasts gathered along the trail near 106th and Illinois streets Oct. 24 to celebrate the completion of the 106th Street multi-use path project. Crews installed a bridge over Williams Creek just west of Spring Mill Drive in September to complete the connection. The trail runs east to west along 106th Street except through Home Place, which is not part of the city. Trail users can go north and south along Pennsylvania Street and College Avenue to 116th Street to reconnect to 106th Street. “This is a tremendous connection today that we’re celebrating,” Mayor Jim Brainard said. “(It) allows everybody on the southwest side along 106th Street to be able to connect to the Monon Trail. If it weren’t for that little bit in Home Place, which isn’t part of Carmel yet, we could actually say it goes all the way along 106th Street from Zionsville to the White River.”

Dispatches Handbags for Hope – The Handbags for Hope charity auction will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 5 at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St. Donated purses, jewelry, gift baskets and more will be sold in a silent auction, and celebrity guests will “model” purses in a live auction. The event will benefit Beacon of Hope Crisis Center, which provides advocacy services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Tickets cost $50 and include lunch. Learn more at beaconofhopeindy.org.

Brainard said a robust trail system helps the city compete for economic development. “We know that millennials, the elderly and lots of groups of people today want to be able to travel by bicycle,” he said. “We joke about not having any mountains or oceans, but the fact that we’re flat is something that helps us when it comes to biking. We don’t have a lot of hills.” To see a map of the paths visit currentincarmel.com.

Controller charged – The former controller for Carmel-based Estridge Homes, Thomas Carter, has been charged with bank fraud and with scheming to defraud by a grand jury of the U.S. District Court of Southern Indiana. The indictment suggests that Carter issued checks to himself and deleted those entries from the company’s accounting software. He is also accused of marking accounting entries for third parties and directing those funds to his own account. Quilters meeting – The Quilters Guild of Indianapolis North will meet from 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. 4 at Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 1605 E. 106th St. Lynn Hodge of Quilt Expressions in Fishers will speak on Quilted Post Cards.

Early voters wait in long lines By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Doug Zipes was determined to beat the crowd when it came to voting. He didn’t want to wait election until Election Day to cast his ballot and stand in a long line, so he decided to show up before the polls opened to vote early in Carmel. He arrived 15 minutes early Oct. 19 at the Carmel Clay Public Library and still waited more than an hour. “I was here to beat the lines, and see how that happened?” he said. On the first day of early voting in Carmel there were about 200 people waiting in line to cast ballots, and some waited around two hours to vote. The delay was caused by a technical problem, but almost every day since large crowds have voted in Carmel and Fishers. Many people have reported wait times of an hour or more. Hamilton County elections administrator Kathy Richardson said the long lines are a result of a huge turnout for early voting, more than double from the last presidential election. As of Oct. 25, there have been 14,060 walk-in early voters in Hamilton County. That doesn’t include absentee ballots. Richardson

said there were 6,167 in 2012 and 4,058 in 2008. “We’ve had an overwhelming response,” she said. There are six voting machines at locations in Carmel and Fishers. Richardson said they can process about 100 voters an hour at both locations. The early voting in Carmel is held at the Carmel Public Library, 55 4th Ave SE, while Fishers is at City Hall, 1 Municipal Drive. Residents can also vote at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center in Noblesville, which typically has a much shorter line because it has more machines.

Author to release new kids’ book By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Roxy Morgan used to make up stories to tell her children at bed time. But it was her then 2-year-old grandson, reading Blake, that gave her the idea to share those tales. “I was telling him a story, and he had his back turned and said, ‘Read again, read again,’” Morgan said. “I had been encouraged to write down my stories before, but I thought this is the one to write.” Fast forward: Blake is now 12 and Morgan will release her seventh book, “Zoe the Zebra,” Nov. 7. Morgan will have a book signing at Kits and Kaboodle, 2442 E. 146th St., Carmel, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 12 and at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 17 at Carmel Clay Public Library. Her first book was “Melvin the Moose and Mr. Blue Fish” in 2008. “My husband went on one hunting trip in his life and he got a moose, so Melvin hangs in our family room,” Morgan said. Morgan told stories of the Lobster Klobster Family to her three children, Anne, David and Beth. She has eight grandchildren (seven boys). They all live in Carmel. Morgan said a few friends had told her she should write down her stories.

Roxy Morgan displays her books at Carmel Clay Public Library (Submitted Photo).

“It’s a labor of love,” Morgan said. Becoming an author was never her dream. “I wanted to be on Broadway, but my folks were a little more practical,” said Morgan, who had the lead in two plays while at Carmel High School. “They decided I needed a job, so I chose teaching and loved it.” Morgan, a 1966 CHS graduate, taught at Carmel’s College Wood Elementary for four years before starting a family.

Artful way to ‘ring it up’ By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Almost every month, Mike Thibideau, 27, and Elizabeth Andresen, 34, participate in the scavenger hunt at the gallery main street walks in the Carmel Arts & Design District. They’ve been dating for about a year and a half, and during their courtship it’s been a fun way to check out Carmel art galleries and converse. “We always enjoy going on the scavenger hunts and talking to the artists,” Thibideau said. “It’s kind of our thing.” But Oct. 8, Andresen got quite a surprise when she went to claim her prize at the end of the scavenger hunt. One of the organizers told her she had something special. “I thought it was unusual, because you usually get to pick what you got,” Andresen said. “They said, ‘No, you get this,’ and inside the pretty wrapped box was a ring box. He got down on his knees and said a bunch of wonderful things and asked me to marry him, and I said yes.” Thibideau said she seemed surprised at the proposal. “She had the look on her face like, ‘Is this really happening?’” he said.

He said he got the idea while trying to think of an activity they enjoy instead of doing something out of the ordinary. “I wanted to do something that was special for us and make something we already enjoy a little more special,” he said. A wedding date hasn’t been set, but Andresen said she’s happy to have such a fun story to tell people about their engagement. “In retrospect, I realized he wasn’t as chatty as he normally is, but I didn’t notice anything at the moment,” she said.

Allison Mayer, right, plays with a girl from the children’s home at Nehemiah Vision Ministries in Onaville, Haiti. (Submitted photo)

CHS grad serves as humanitarian By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Allison Mayer has found a career to share her passion for photography and helping others. giving back The 2004 Carmel High School graduate serves as a freelance humanitarian photojournalist. “I work with nonprofits and (non-governmental organizations) to tell the stories of what they do and the people that they help through photography, videography and journalism,” Mayer said. In her travels, she wants to tell those affected’s personal stories. Mayer has been doing humanitarian work for three years and has been a photographer for nine years, originally doing weddings and portraits. “I have three more years on my five-year plan to be (published) in National Geographic (magazine),” Mayer said. The first trip Mayer took was with her church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, to Haiti in 2012. “That trip started the whole thing for me,” Mayer said. “I went as a photographer, but it was me just volunteering my time.” She researched Haiti but found it was nothing like she thought it would be. “I expected everything to be sad, depressing and in despair and overwhelming poverty everywhere, which there is,” Mayer said. “But the people themselves are hopeful and joyful. I found that part of the story hasn’t been told (in the media) because it wasn’t as sexy.

It’s definitely the worst place I’ve been and in some ways the best place.” Mayer had planned to go to Haiti in October but the Hurricane Matthew tragedy changed that. The storm led to more than 1,000 fatalities in the nation. She plans to go in midJanuary to interview people about the effects international aid has had on businesses and how it hinders the community’s ability to rebuild. Mayer recently moved from Carmel to Lima, Peru. “It had been my plan to move to Haiti, but so much of my work depends on a reliable internet connection and the ability to travel with ease,” Mayer said. “Haiti is still relatively unstable and lacks infrastructure in many ways. So I had been looking for opportunities elsewhere. The area of Las Lomas (outside Lima) is much like Haiti with its makeshift homes and lack of running water. But unlike Port-au-Prince, Lima is a very modern city in many areas. I can live near an area where I can serve marginalized communities but still have access to the modern conveniences that I need to share those stories with the rest of the world.” She left for Greece Oct. 31 to head to the Oinofyta Refugee Camp with Adventist Medical Evangelism Network. She will spend two weeks interviewing and photographing Syrian refugees. She spent two months in Peru working with Voices4Peru, an organization that keeps kids out of gangs and combats child slavery through soccer and educational programs.

On Oct. 25, representatives from education, public safety and Congress attended a school safety roundtable at Hameducation ilton Southeastern High School in Fishers. U.S. Reps. Susan W. Brooks and Luke Messer hosted the event. Afterward, members of the media were invited for closing remarks and a press conference. Brooks said one of the biggest topics of discussion were school resource officers. “HSE implements something called texta-tip, a communication tool for students to report anonymously or not some issues that they might be concerned about, whether a student is contemplating suicide or aware of drugs on campus," Brooks said. "School resource officers are positions of trust with students, just like teachers. They become part of the fabric of the schools. That is how they often get a lot of tips, and because of some incredible law enforcement efforts in Lawrence Schools last week, drugs were confiscated. (Drugs) are still in our schools. It’s still a problem.” Mental health issues, ways of keeping

potential predators and criminals out of buildings and other security issues also were discussed. “School security challenges everything from dealing with drug overdoses to natural disasters to violence perpetrated by a student to terrorist attacks,” Messer said. “It’s a broad range of challenges and exciting to hear how Indiana is dealing with it. We can do more to physically serve the (school) facilities and make sure there is an alert system within the school so it is more difficult for someone to get in if they have bad intentions, and also make sure we have training and school re-

Australian family picks Carmel for relocation By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Chris Belli decided it was time to move his young family from Australia to the United States, he could have moving chosen the warm beaches of California, the scenery of the Rocky Mountains or anywhere else, for that matter. But it wasn’t a difficult choice. The Belli family decided they wanted to move to Carmel and without a job lined up, they began the process of moving across the world. “We really moved without knowing what was going to happen. It was kind of a big gamble for us,” Belli said. “Fortunately it all worked out. We moved to Indiana on a Friday. I started work on the Monday, and my daughter started school on a Tuesday.” Belli, who worked in the horse racing business in Australia, said it would have probably made more sense to transfer to a job in Lexington or Louisville, Ky. But he kept hearing so many good things about Carmel that he wanted to call it home. “The cost of purchasing homes appealed to us, and the cost of living in general,” he said. “The reason we settled on Carmel was all of

our friends with school-age kids spoke so highly of the quality of the schools in Carmel, so that was probably the biggest determining factor.” Belli landed a job in downtown Indianapolis at Studio Science. “I’ve got a view of (Monument) Circle from my office,” he said. “I’ve got the luxury of driving out of the metro area and a nice peaceful, quiet spot up in Carmel, which is great.” Belli’s wife, Erica, grew up in southern Indiana. The couple met in college in Melbourne when Erica was an exchange student. After

they both completed internships in Louisville, they got married and moved to Australia, where their three children were born. The family has transitioned well to life in the U.S., Belli said. He’s been impressed by Hoosier hospitality and the ease of traveling around the area. He most misses his Australian coffee, for now. “If you ask me in January or February I’d certainly miss the Melbourne summer and the beaches,” he said. “(Those) will be the hardest things for me (to live without) once winter really kicks in.”

School board approves budget By Nick Poust • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay School Board met Oct. 24 to discuss the 2017 budget, the bus replacement

plan and other proposals and to congratulate Carmel High School’s 52 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists.

What happened: The board adopted the 2017 budget, the Capital Projects Fund plan and the 12-Year Bus Replacement Plan. In addition, the board approved a resolution appropriating $1.25 million to the general fund and $350,000 to the referendum fund.

What it means: The appropriations are largely due to additional expenses from early 2016, including a payment made in February for retroactive pay for teachers and the delayed reception of the performance grant. The additional appropriations will not affect the tax rate.

What’s next: The resolutions will be submitted to the state for approval.

What happened: Carmel High School recognized the school’s 52 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists to open the board meeting. Forty-four of the students were present, and they received a certificate. What it means: There are 1.5 million high school students who are National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists from 22,000 high schools across the nation. Of those 1.5 million, 16,000 are chosen as finalists. Carmel High School’s representation is in the top 1 percent.

What’s next: For the next round of consideration, students will write essays about their goals, and the college board will factor their transcripts into the process.

What happened: Board member Tricia Hackett expressed concerns regarding legislative priorities that were put forth during the Indiana School Boards Association’s Fall Regional Meeting Oct. 13. What it means: Hackett expressed concerns about charter school funding increases at the federal level, an expansion of the state voucher program without any clear evidence of its effectiveness, and the predicative legislative proposals to implement educational savings accounts. The latter would be a way to fund public and private education, Hackett said.

What’s next: The Carmel Clay Schools Legislative Priorities have been sent to local government representatives for consideration. Hackett said meetings with the representatives will take place over the next two weeks. Meetings have already been scheduled with Luke Kenley of District 20, Donna Schaibley of District 24 and Jerry Torr of District 39.

CHS gets rare tennis sweep

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel High School boys tennis team did some soul-searching before this season. “There was a lot of achievement focus to get better,” Carmel second-year coach Spencer Fields said. “We spent a lot of time talking about what causes us to win and what causes us to lose. Ultimately, we improved a ton.” The Greyhounds finished 17-0 by topping North Central 4-1 in the state team final Oct. 15, ending the Panthers’ three-year title run. “I’d rather play North Central any day of the week, because they truly make us better,” said Fields, a former North Central coach and player. Carmel then won the singles and doubles titles Oct. 22 at Park Tudor to become the third boys team to sweep the team, singles and doubles state crowns. The others were North Central (1995) and New Albany (1967). “It feels really cool to be the third team in history to get the Triple Crown,” said junior

The doubles team of seniors Ethan McAndrews and Jay Natarajan was 13-6 entering the postseason but reeled off 10 consecutive wins to grab the title, beating Park Tudor’s Will Emhardt and Jared Katz, both Carmel residents, in the state title final. “A lot of the losses were early in the season, so a big part for us was improving and making sure we played our best tennis as the season progressed,” McAndrews said.

Teacher touts Taubman Approach By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Natalie Todd knows first-hand the Taubman Approach to piano playing relieves stress on her arms. piano “I had some symptoms before, but it turned into a full-blown injury when I was in graduate school, and all of sudden I was playing a lot more,” Todd said. “Throughout the year when I was first injured, my professor kept recommending different things. I tried massage therapy and Epsom salts, and as soon as I would play again it would come right back.” The pain was from the fingertips to the elbow in both arms. At the end of the semester in 2009, her professor suggested she attend the Golandsky Institute, the premier institute for studying the Taubman Approach, in Princeton, N.J. She got immediate relief but it was clear she had to keep studying it, so she traveled to Boston to get more lessons. At that time, there were no teachers in the Midwest. Todd is in the final stages of becoming a certified instructor of the Taubman Approach, developed by the late Dorothy Taubman. Todd, who grew up in Fort Wayne, graduated from Butler University before attending Kent State. Todd is already teaching the method to her

students at her home studio in Carmel and at Butler. She also teaches by Skype. She said the Taubman Approach teaches pianists to move in a coordinated way. “This means keeping the body in its natural alignment, finger, hand, and arm unified, seat height adjusted to place the keyboard directly under the hands, avoiding the body’s extreme range of motion, and using the most efficient and free movements to play the piano,” Todd said. “Learning to align the body and move freely and efficiently is what relieves repetitive strain injuries and unlocks a virtuoso technique.” For more, visit natalietodd.net.

Carmel man completes dream of hiking Appalachian Trail By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Aaron Ibey grew up hiking. “I was raised going to the Smokies, and the Appalachian Trail runs through it, and I grew up hearing stories of cover story how you can hike from Georgia to Maine, and I thought it would be awesome,” he said. The 20-year-old Carmel resident recently fulfilled his childhood dream by hiking the nearly 2,200 miles of the Appalachian Trail and earning the distinction of “thru-hiker,” someone who has completed a long-distance trail in one year. According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, it takes most thru-hikers between five and

seven months to complete the trail. The average time is just less than six months. Ibey started his hike March 4 in Georgia on Springer Mountain. He finished Sept. 21 in Maine on Mount Katahdin. He averaged 15 to 20 miles a day. “(Ibey and fellow hikers) were almost kind of quiet and just looked at each other and were like, ‘We just did this,’” Ibey said. “We were screaming with excitement that we’d completed this, but at the same time there was this wave of sadness when I was taking my backpack off for probably the last time on the Appalachian Trail. It was just a really crazy feeling.” Ibey’s parents were excited for their son and glad to hear that he had completed his goal. “I was ecstatic, because it has always been one of my dreams,” said Aaron’s father, Randy Ibey. “My wife was scared and apprehensive to have her son gone and no way to get in touch with him. I guess I was, too.”

Going solo

Ibey initially began his hike solo because “finding himself” was a reason for his journey. “If I had someone from back home, I would’ve stuck with them, and I wanted to branch out and really get comfortable with people I didn’t know,” he said. “The trail has become really popular. It’s known as the People’s Trail, so there’s a really big community of people out there.” Two days into his hike in Georgia, Ibey met two other hikers and traveled with them the rest of the way. Along the trail the group encountered their fair share of wildlife, including

“It was sitting in the woods staring at us. It was the first time we were ever scared for our lives from an animal on the trail,” Ibey said. “Mountain lions stalk their prey for hours and can either attack it or just stalk it for fun. We hit a big clearing with a lot of wind, and I think the only thing that kept it from continuing to follow us was the exposed ridge line with the wind.”

Back at home

Aaron Ibey pauses at the summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. (Submitted photo)

a memorable meeting with a bear. “In Virginia we had a bear come into our camp as soon as the sun had gone down and start messing with our food bags,” Ibey said. “I woke up and started yelling at my buddy next to me in his tent, and we all ran out in our underwear and bare feet and were yelling at the bear to get out of there. But this bear knew what he was doing and got about seven people’s food bags that night.” And just as they were finishing the last part of their hike through what is known as the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine, they had another encounter, this time with a mountain lion that stalked them for several miles.

Now back in Carmel, Ibey said it’s been a bit tough to adjust to the creature comforts of home. “Life out on the trail is extremely easy going. Living back home is easy, but life has routines and schedules, so one thing I definitely miss is the freedom I had out there,” Ibey said. “I got to basically do what I wanted to each day and saw some amazing scenery. I’ve always been a pretty positive guy, but every once in a while I look at the photos I took along the trail and get that homesick feeling of wanting to be back out there.” Ibey plans to make to make a coffee table book of his photos. He hopes to have it published within a year. “It will be my view of the trail from landscapes to candid portraits of people, just a lot of storytelling,” he said. “It has made me realize who I am as an artist and what my niche is.” As for what the future holds, Ibey is already planning other hikes, including the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile journey that starts in southern California at the Mexican border and goes through California, Oregon and Washington to the Canadian border.

A scary good day

FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P

If we were on the team Everywhere we go we find ourselves engaged in discourse about the upcoming elections, national and local. It’s difficult to resist commenting and offering our two-cents worth (that’s about all it’s worth, frankly). We’ve been reading recently that Donald Trump apparently is getting some traction with his “the election is rigged” line. Perhaps it’s appealing to some that feel everything in this nation is rigged, with Wall Street, lobbyists, inside-the-beltway “experts”, and other circles conspiring to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us. There’s no question there’s a heightened level of frustration out there. And, we are embarrassed, as members of the media, to witness the unprecedented scorn heaped upon the Republican nominee by the “neutral” media. Granted, Trump provides plenty of fodder to feed the media’s anti-Trump diatribe, but, still, it should remain as objective as possible in its mainstream coverage. Otherwise, put opinion where it belongs: on the opinion page. Since this arguably has become the “year of the outsider,” we would encourage Trump to continue talk of a rigged system. But he should go beyond that. He should explain the establishment isn’t against him, but, rather, you, the voter. And keep repeating it. Every member of the establishment - and this includes Republicans - is against anything other than the status quo, and they want Hillary Clinton in the White House, guaranteeing nothing changes. They want their cushy jobs protected. In an attempt to be fair, we offer this advice to Hillary Clinton: Keep cutting Wikileaks’ access to the Internet. The less voters know about the inner workings of your campaign, the better. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The body politic Commentary by Terry Anker Oxford defines us thusly: The people of a nation, state, or society considered collectively as an organized group of citizens – the body politic. We are one, whether at this moment we feel like it. Social media, television and even your friendly local newspaper seem especially full of political opinion. And, like a body enduring the challenge of a lengthy race, our extremities long for an end to the test of endurance. Limbs, heart and lungs all cry out for speedy conclusion. But our brain, mighty and exalted, commands that we push ourselves to a strong finish. Our body politic strains but will soon recover and find itself ready to compete again. We’ll sleep, recuperate and rebuild. Yes, Election Day is finally approaching. To all who are eligible to cast a ballot and who have yet to exercise the right, go vote: Do it now or do it on our nation’s proper Election Day. But do it. The year 2016, a year unlike many before it, has divided us into

distinct candidate camps with disparate, some might argue desperate, points of view. OK. Yet it is our obligation to this body politic to participate. Whatever our choices may be, there is respect in the act and commitment we make. Libertarian, Democrat, Republican or Independent. This time Susan Brooks deserves another go. Todd Rokita, too. Carmel-raised Todd Young seems right for the Senate. The best economic plan is Eric Holcomb’s. Then, choose Mike Pence and his running mate to ensure a Hoosier at the top on Inauguration Day. In claiming a preference, no offense is intended or warranted. Let’s hope our body politic makes it across the finish line free from injury and still better because of the race.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEE K Be assured, you never have to apologize for your passion.

– Taylor Hanson

Today was a good day. True, I stepped in dog poop three times and briefly electrocuted myself. But overall, I humor place this particular Tuesday firmly in the “More Than Just Survived” category. Why? Well, I was doing what I love best — futzing around with my Halloween yard décor. See, we Wilsons (really just me) take Oct. 31 very seriously. Our (my) goal is to be the best “Halloween house” in a three-mile radius, eventually five. Granted, we don’t have much competition right now, but I’m hoping by continually adding one life-size witch/ vampire/Grim Reaper and two strands of orange lights each year, we’ll inspire others to pick up the torch (and a few pitchforks, and maybe a possessed scarecrow). Because honestly, when else can you trash your yard with strobe lights, fake webbing and Regan from “The Excorcist” and not be fined by the neighborhood association? By the time you’re reading this, of course, the best holiday of the season will be over and done with, and I’ll be staring at a pile of plastic bones, black capes and dead batteries. Sadder still, I’ll be back at work and will have neither the time nor the inclination to clean up said junk heap. That’s another reason why today was so wonderful – my kids were at school while I was out frolicking in my faux graveyard, setting up Regan’s tea party. As luck would have it, my fall break does not align with theirs, and I’ve been forced to stay home all week without them (outward sigh, inward jubilation). Don’t get me wrong, I’ll love my children. And lately, I’ve even started liking a couple of them. But they are exhausting, and unless I want to end up looking like the zombie I miraculously rigged up in the front maple, I need to plan moments where I can forget about the carpooling and cooking and be a kid myself. So yes, I trod on squishy dog turds throughout most of the afternoon, and suffered mild electric shock while masterfully configuring 17 extension cords, but I definitely had a good day. Peace out.

Linz acknowledges unfortunate history Editor, While the article by Don Knebel was pretty much accurate about what is special about Linz in Upper Austria, I must, as someone who lived 30 years of her life there and is coauthor of a 'Women's Guide to Linz,' protest against the headline. Linz is a city that has done more than any other in Europe to deal with its unfortunate history in the Third Reich. No cultural festival or exhibition takes place without some acknowledgement of that part of its 20th century history. The city's archives have invested in the publication of scholarly works on the is-

sues of the ’30s and ’40s in the city, and they are available for everyone with interest in the topic to buy at a very reasonable price. There are, it is true, some who wish to leave the chapter out of the record books. They are the ones who prefer to remember, if at all, that Hitler built the superhighways. They are a minority. Liberal or conservative, the majority of the residents of Linz do not forget the Third Reich any more than they forget the monarchy or the empire whose remnants are equally evident in the city. Alison Brown, Carmel

Low bid is not always the last word Editor, I attended a council meeting last year regarding the option to opt out of the City of Carmel choice of Republic as the community trash vendor. At that meeting, several homeowners spoke on their desire to remain with Ray’s, due to their superior service and Republic’s disregard to the desires of the homeown-

ers and cleanliness of the area. The comments apparently fell on deaf ears, and the vote by the council remained unchanged. The council just relies on the Republic low bid. As we all know, the low bid is not always the last word. Al Koeske, Carmel Read the full letter at currentincarmel.com

Feeding frenzy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

™

Caring and Personalized Dentistry in a Relaxing, Spa-like Environment!

The Wolfsies have accepted two invitations to dinner on Thanksgiving. The Haversticks always invite my wife and son and humor me to join them at a lovely buffet at a downtown hotel. Since Mary Ellen and I have siblings who live out of town, we appreciate this gesture. I come from a pretty good size family in New York, but we’re not talking to each other because of a contentious Thanksgiving about 25 years ago. For you ornithology buffs, please note: I have seen a turkey fly. Our friends the Goslings have invited us to their house later in the afternoon. The Wolfsies offered to bring something to share at the Gosling dinner pitch-in. But what we contribute (and how much) might depend on the noon smorgasbord downtown — and whether the restaurant has those big Styrofoam to-go boxes. If Mary Ellen decides to cook, how much are we supposed to bring? Calculating that would stump even Albert Einstein, who came from a nice Jewish family where food obviously played a very important role. Some biographers think the equation E=mc2 really meant the amount of food you can Eat (that would

be E) is equal to the size of the average Mouth (that’s M) times the number of cousins (C) who were invited. Then Einstein’s mother just squared everything to ensure there would be leftovers. Mary Ellen will watch her prepared food like a hawk, concerned it may go unappreciated, thus requiring her to slither out the door with a still-full casserole. But there is an even worse scenario: suppose her dish is completely consumed. Not a scrap left. That would mean she didn’t bring enough. This miscalculation would stain the reputation of the entire Wolfsie clan. So here’s how we figure it. Dan and Noelle Gosling are having 20 people for dinner, so we need to make enough mashed potatoes for 40 people, because if the spuds are delish, everyone will have seconds. But other people are also bringing dishes. So if all 20 people bring enough food for 40 servings, there will be enough fare on the table that night to feed about 800 people. That should be plenty.

Managing prostate cancer Commentary by Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, IU Health Physicians Exciting advances in the management of prostate cancer are making it possible for doctors to provide more treatment personalized treatment to men diagnosed with the disease. While prostate cancer screening, which includes the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal exam, detects many cancers, screening is not always able to tell the difference between slow-growing tumors, which are common, and more aggressive forms of the disease that can lead to symptoms and death. This has led to overtreatment of prostate cancer in some cases. Now, through a combination of MRI-guided biopsy and genetic testing, urologists are able to more accurately determine the type of tumor and whether a “watchful waiting” approach is advisable given the presence of slow-growing tumors. Genetic testing also can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread beyond the prostate. Both of these advancements help prevent overtreatment of those prostate cancers that are unlikely to cause death. For men with more aggressive tumors

that are localized within the prostate, a new minimally invasive method for treating prostate cancer has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Pioneered at Indiana University School of Medicine for the localized treatment of prostate cancer, the technique uses high-intensity, focused ultrasound to destroy cancerous tissue with fewer side effects, including lower risk of incontinence and sexual dysfunction, than traditional prostate surgery. Men between the ages of 50 and 70 should discuss the risks and benefits of PSA screening with their doctor. Those at greater risk of developing prostate cancer, which include African-Americans and men with a family history of the disease, should talk with their primary care doctor about when PSA screening should begin and how often the test should be completed. Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, specializes in minimally invasive approaches to prostate and kidney cancer. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians at IU Health North Hospital and can be reached by calling the office at 317.688.5504.

IMCU opens Carmel branch By Nick Poust • news@currenticarmel.com Indiana Members Credit Union celebrated the opening of its newest branch in Carmel, 12725 Old Meridian St., with now open a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 20 that included employees and benefactors. Thorpe Miller, IMCU’s vice president of sales and marketing, spoke at the event. “We’re really excited to add to our network of branches here in Hamilton County, especially here in Carmel,” Miller said. “This will be our second branch here in Carmel, but this will really serve as the central heart of where Carmel is.” Indiana Members Credit Union, celebrating its 60th year, opened in 1956 as a hospital credit union. Sticking to its roots, IMCU is located near hospitals throughout the region. “We’re very into the health care world and serving those members, especially, has been a big core for us,” Miller said. “Being right here in the heart of all of the hospitals, Community, St. Francis, others that are out there … We’re excited about being right here in this location.” Rob Martin, the chairman of IMCU’s board, spoke about the Interactive Teller Machines that have been incorporated into its banking

Kickstarter launches for toy By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Joshua Kirsh has invented a toy called the Werzid. It’s a soft, triangular-shaped stuffed toy with different colors and new biz textures on each side. He said people often ask, “What is it supposed to be?” The answer? Anything your imagination comes up with. “It’s a toy that engages users in authentic play,” Kirsh said. Kirsh, the father of a 4-year-old son named Holden, works during the day for the City of Carmel as an engineering administrator, helping the public know about traffic projects. He also sits on the Carmel Plan Commission and the Carmel Clay Parks Board. But in his spare time, he founded the Hoosier Made Toy Company to launch the new toy he created to help kids engage their imagination. “I feel like this toy is a pivotal toy,” Kirsh said. “It comes at a time where kids are more inclined to look at a screen.” Kirsh said the response has been positive. “The first time I gave them to kids I didn’t have to tell them what to do,” he said. “They already knew.” Kirsh created a Kickstarter to help launch production. He’s already raised more than $2,500 of his $3,600 goal. The deadline is Nov. 12. Kirsh said he plans to partner with Noble of

Indiana to create the toys. Workers with disabilities will be employed. He said it’s a great opportunity to put Hoosiers to work, especially a segment of the population that can have trouble finding jobs. “I’ve always felt that these individuals were an untapped asset in our community, and job statistics show that many capable, willing and hard-working individuals are without employment,” he said. Kirsh said he has also pledged that for every toy he sells he will give a toy away to a child in need. People who donate $19 or more to the Kickstarter will receive a toy when production begins.

Daniel Schrader-Bobris, an eighth grader, plays Albert Peterson, rock star Conrad Birdie’s songwriter/agent. “In sixth grade for our musical, I considered doing ‘Put on a Happy Face’ as an audition,” Schrader-Bobris said. “But I ended up not doing it because my voice wasn’t deep enough. This year I’m excited because I get to sing in this musical.”

A tale of cheeseburger soup Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

In Here, Life is Beautiful.

November 4 -20

For those of you that have read “The Tailgater’s Handbook” (first edition) you might remember this story. While traversing the Big Giver’s Parking Lot at Penn State way back in 1995, a lady hailed us to offer a bowl of her soup. It was life-changing! She called the soup Lost Cheeseburger Soup, and it tasted exactly like a country club cheeseburger. It was beefy, cheesy, chewy and just plain delicious. It was so good and has garnered so many favorable emails and letters from readers of this column and visitors to our website (tailgatershandbook.com) that we feel obligated to rerun this recipe every few years. You may ask, “Why was this soup referred to as lost?” As was our practice, we asked the lady to send us the recipe and she promised she would, but it never came. When the book went to press we still didn’t have her recipe, even though a whole chapter was planned for the Lost Cheeseburger Soup. Alas, a sumptuous hearty meal we would never taste again! Several years later a nephew of this woman (Joyce Massetti) emailed us. He was at that infamous tailgate party and read about the lost soup (minus recipe) in the book. He thought to himself, “That was us.” He contacted aunt Joyce and was able to furnish us with her name and the recipe. Hence, we have added this great recipe to our site and write about it often. You need to try this exceptional cold weather soup. Lost Cheeseburger Soup Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef , 1 medium carrot chopped, 1 medium onion chopped,

Cook entire mixture until soft and season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Add soup and water and heat well. This soup is great for a substitute for that old favorite, chili.

CMS presents classic musical By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Nathan Koon loves the freedom his role in “Singin’ in the Rain” affords him. “His personality is Mr. theatER Smooth, and I’m kind of awkward,” said Koon, laughing. “I enjoy playing a character who is well-liked and very respected in Hollywood culture.” Koon will appear in Carmel Middle School’s production at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 and 12 at the school. Koon is cast as Don Lockwood, who was played by Gene Kelly in the Koon 1952 movie. “My mom watched the movie all the time when I was a kid,” Koon said. “I thought this will be fun, I’ll try out.” Koon said “Singin’ in the Rain” is one of those musicals that everybody knows. Koon said he is adapting to the dancing. “I enjoy singing a little more, but dancing is fun once you get the moves down,” Koon said. Koon and fellow lead cast member Chloe Eades, both eighth graders and choir members, are making their debuts on the middle school stage.

“They’re fantastically talented kids,” codirector Jason ElRite said. “I tried out last year and didn’t make it,” Eades said. “I tried out again because I really wanted to be a part of it, and I wanted to improve.” Eades, who plays Kathy Selden, has seen the movie “Singin’ in the Rain” a few times. “It’s a lot of lines and a lot of songs, so it’s a lot to memorize,” Eades said. “It’s really fun and I’m really glad that I’m in it.” Trisha Scheidies, the school’s choral director, serves as the co-director. Eades She said it will rain on stage. “It’s a similar distribution system that Carmel High School used when they did the musical (in 2009),” ElRite said. ElRite, who works with the performers on their lines, said he believes “Hamilton” has reignited interest in musical theater. “We want to keep the old classics alive while kids are embracing some new stuff that is coming out,” ElRite said. Tickets are $5. To purchase, email cmsdramaproductions@gmail.com or call the school 317-846-7331, ext. 6527.

Fire features attract guests

Bridal Show

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Outdoor fire features are magnets for entertainment. They bring people together and provide an excuse for fun. They outdoor living develop stories, offer warmth and fuel impromptu episodes of fun. Most would not imagine that fireplaces/fire boulders/boulder fire pits/fire features had that much responsibility. INVITATION Clients often wonder if homeowners actually use their fire features. Most do. Profusely. But it’s certainly habit- and convenience-driven. Fire it up a few times in a planned fashion and watch it flourish into random. That’s when the magic happens, when the laughter begins and friends and neighbors happen to stop by with a bottle of wine. And if they don’t … invite them. These couple of stone fire features are natural gas-driven, which can be employed as simple starters with a few branches and twigs tossed on for smoky joy or used as the primary flame itself. Natural stone caps add authenticity to the man-made stone face. Delicious sitting walls offer condensed seating and a place to park for a while. Invitations for fun!

Taipei: A cauldron and a cabbage Commentary by Don Knebel An estimated 10 percent of the important cultural artifacts from 7,000 years of Chinese civilization are owned by a single museum. The museum is not in China, and its travel most visited item is not very old. Chinese nationalists overthrew the imperial Qing dynasty in 1911. In 1925, the nationalist government confiscated thousands of works of art and cultural artifacts that had been displayed in the palaces of the Qing and earlier dynasties. These items, from bronze and porcelain vessels from the earliest days of Chinese civilization to paintings and imperial government records, were eventually displayed at the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. In 1948, with the Communists threatening, the nationalists moved thousands of crates of objects from the Palace Museum and other important museums to Taiwan, then a Chinese province. When Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalists retreated and proclaimed the Republic of China on Taiwan, they put the most important items on display in a newly established National Palace Museum in Taipei. Taipei’s National Palace Museum now owns about 700,000 items, one percent of which are on display at a time. Among the most important items is “Mao-Gong Ding,” a 3,000-yearold bronze ceremonial cauldron, famous for an encouraging message from the emperor to his governor inscribed in 500 ancient Chinese characters on the inside surface. Many visitors walk past the three-legged cauldron and other items reflecting the extraordinary creativity and longevity of Chinese

The intricately-carved green and white “Jadeite Cabbage” by an unknown sculptor was apparently given by a Qing emperor to his mistress in the late 19th century. It has become the most popular item in the museum’s vast collection. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.
