CFD dedicates new training facility By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Motorists driving past 3rd Avenue SW near City Center Drive often peer over to see Carmel firefighters tearing into a smashed up automobile. public safety No, it’s not a hot spot for traffic accidents. For years, the Carmel Fire Dept. has been conducting some of its training exercises out of an office strip owned by Pedcor. But now CFD has a new place to conduct much of its training. In May 2016, it opened a 16,661-square-foot training and maintenance center at 4925 E. 106th St. near the city’s water treatment facility. “This has so many uses,” said Tim Griffin, CFD public information officer. “It’s pretty impressive.” CFD Chief David Haboush said the facility doesn’t replicate what would be created by a proposed countywide training center, which did not have its funding approved by the Hamilton County Council. That facility would be able to host training exercises such as live burns. The council did approve money for a burn tower, but that won’t be built at this time since area fire departments said it wasn’t enough money, Haboush said. Carmel’s training and maintenance facility was sorely needed, Haboush said. Before its construction, there was no area to work on vehicles except one half of one station. Even classroom space was limited at times. The new facility provides a dedicated space for recruit classes to focus on learning, Haboush said. In this building, CFD now houses the Maintenance and Training Division offices, along with the Fire and EMS training classroom. It’s also the new home for the CFD Work Performance
The new facility was funded through the Clay Township Building Corp., which also financed Fire Station 44 and the remodel of Fire Station 43. The township provided funding without increasing taxes, and payments are planned to be paid during the next 15 years. The older fire training area along 3rd Avenue SW might not be around much longer, Haboush said.

Alicia Benson hadn’t given much thought previously to Forest Dale Elementary, where her two daughters attend, being used as a voting site in Carmel. ELECTION “But this election was different,” Benson said. “The rhetoric, the tone, the divisiveness felt tangible and ultimately led my husband and I to discuss what we were comfortable with, knowing that there would be hundreds if not thousands of random citizens coming in and out of our daughters' school. Our country feels like it has shifted that people are allowed to do and say things that we wouldn't have said or done in years past. Violence feels real and seems to occur in the most unlikely of places” Benson, who kept her daughters home on Election Day as several other elementary school parents did, said she appreciated the school’s willingness to add extra security. “But if someone wanted to make a statement or do something dangerous, it wouldn't matter,” Benson said. “Our elementary schools house our most vulnerable children, who would be unable to protect themselves, and if someone truly wanted to hurt them, they could do it. Ultimately the risk far outweighed the reward of my girls watching democracy in action." Other Carmel Clay elementary schools used as voting sites were Woodbrook, Cherry Tree

and Orchard Park. Carmel Middle School and the high school stadium were also used. “For the parents that expressed concerns by calling or emailing the school, our principals reached out to speak with the parents, listening and fully addressing those concerns,” said Courtney Taylor, CCS community relations liaison. Taylor said overall attendance at those schools were not significantly impacted on Election Day. She said CCS continues to be in discussions with key decision-makers and the Hamilton County Election Board regarding the location of polling sites. Throughout this process, Taylor said they worked very closely with the Carmel Police Dept. Taylor said security measures were put in place to ensure both the educational environment for students and the polling site were uninterrupted.

200 apartments proposed for Midtown area By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com More than 200 rental units could come to the Midtown area. Old Town Design Group has submitted plans for DEVELOPMENT an apartment building called Midtown Flats, one of many new buildings planned for the area. Old Town partner Justin Moffett said pieces are being shuffled as momentum builds for the $150-million-plus project along the Monon Trail north of the Carmel City Center and south of the Carmel Arts & Design District. The Carmel Plan Commission is considering plans for Midtown Flats, a 216,112-square-foot, four-story building east of the Monon Trail. Developed by Old Town Design, the complex would have about 206 apartments with a swimming pool, coffee shop and fitness center with more than 300 parking spaces in underground parking and a nearby garage. The building would have frontage on Monon Avenue, which is the name for the proposed expansion of the Monon Trail, along with onstreet parking and 12-foot-wide sidewalks to promote connectivity. Certain parts of the project would be done by Old Town Design Group and others would be a joint effort

between Old Town and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. The architectural design of the building is reminiscent of an old industrial warehouse, which is consistent with the design and feel of the rest of Midtown. It will have a combination of brick and metal paneling with large windows on all sides and a concrete base, according to the plan commission report. The Carmel Plan Commission will discuss the Midtown Flats project at the Dec. 6 meeting of its subdivision committee. Midtown Flats would be to the south of several proposed buildings, including Midtown East, Midtown West, Merchants Bank headquarters, the 140,000-square-foot Allied Solutions headquarters, a 580-space park-
ing garage and a new tap room and distillery for Sun King Brewing Co. Allied Solutions and Sun King are expected to be complete by fall/ winter 2017. Old Town Development is the primary developer for the Midtown East section. Barrett & Stokely is the lead developer for the Midtown West section. Old Town is partnering with Ambrose Property Group for the office and retail components and J.C. Hart Co. Inc. for the residential projects. Lots have changed since the project was announced two years ago, Moffett said. Some buildings are in different spots than the original map. Old Town has moved its proposed office building to make way for the Sun King building. It has decreased its involvement in Midtown West while it is still a partner. Old Town also has decreased its involvement with the Merchants Bank headquarters building and the city market concept because that building is now gone. Some of the city market idea might be added, on a much smaller scale, to the Sun King building with a “foodie court” concept of a few high-end food providers offering food to pair with Sun King’s beverages since the brewer appears reluctant to enter that market, Moffett said.

CHS band wins national title By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School sophomore drum major Caroline Heyl describes the marching band season as a roller coaster ride. Fortunately for the ACHIEVEMENT CHS band, the roller coaster stopped with winning the Bands of America Grand National Championships title Nov. 12 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Carmel and Avon finished tied, but Carmel was awarded the title by winning the Outstanding General Effect ranking. Carmel was the state runner-up to Avon Oct. 29 at Lucas Oil in the Indiana State School Music Association state finals. “The comradeship and unity felt with the people in the band after our last performance was so much bigger than winning,” Heyl said. “We just got lucky with the outcome of our hard work." Carmel has participated in the national championships since 1993 and has been a national finalist for 21 consecutive years, starting in 1996. Carmel previously won national titles in 2005 and 2012. The 2016 production was “Adagio-Presto.” “We stress that the key to a championship performance is the preparation for the

Secret shop returns Nov. 28 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School business students will get some hands-on experience running their Holiday Secret Shop. HOLIDAYS The student-operated retail store, which sells assorted gifts to children, is set for Nov. 28 to Dec. 3 at CHS. The hours are 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 3. Laura Cardamon, CHS business teacher, said it has been a CHS tradition for more than 35 years. The shop is created by Work-Based Learning Business Cooperative Experiences and Strategic Marketing senior classes. In 2015, the shop had sales of more than $12,000, the most successful year to date. All profits benefit Carmel DECA. “Children are instantly transported into a holiday wonderland,” Cardamon said. “Kids have the unique and independent opportunity to buy gifts for their loved ones and friends. All gifts, such as jewelry, toys, candles, mugs, blankets and stuffed animals are $10 or less.” The student helpers wrap the gifts and then walk the children back to their waiting parents. The students are divided into four committees: promotion, buying, merchandising and

TherAplay mourning loss By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Jen Grillo lived for two things: helping children with special needs reach their full potential and enjoying time IN MEMORIAM with her horse, Chance. A weekend devoted to both turned out to be her last. The morning after accepting an award for her work from the Indiana Physical Therapy Association, she died in a car accident on the way to be with Chance during an appointment with a veterinarian. Grillo, 45, was a physical therapist assistant at Children’s TherAplay, a Carmel outpatient rehabilitation clinic for children with special needs. Her sudden death Nov. 12 sent shockwaves through the nonprofit as coworkers and clients heard the news. “She didn’t have children of her own, but our children at TherAplay were her kids. She loved them. She was their cheerleader and a bright spot in their life,” said Teresa Keathley, TherAplay clinic team lead and physical therapist. “She worked at TherAplay for 14 years, so she was just a legacy here.” On Nov. 14, many families impacted by Grillo brought cards, flowers and photographs to TherAplay to honor her memory. “It’s a beautiful tribute,” said Shannon Wade, TherAplay marketing programs manager. “It’s breathtaking.” The outpouring of support continued throughout the day on the TherAplay Facebook page, as current and former TherAplay clients shared memories of Grillo. “Shortly after birth, experts told us our son may never walk. And whenever I remember that, I always think of Jen with Bailey around 2 years old. She was able to get him to stand on his horse as they went around the stable,” wrote Ryan Forbes of Carmel. “Fourteen years old now, Bailey walks with minimal issues. Such a good therapist and a better person, I'll

always remember her as someone who truly cared about our son.” TherAplay invited members of the community to visit the facility Nov. 15 for a celebration of Grillo’s life. Approximately 300 guests donned their favorite boots, blue jeans and flannel as they shared memories of Grillo, as she was a big supporter of TherAplay’s annual Hoe-Down event. “Jen loved the Hoe-Down. It resonated with her,” Keathley said. “She would not want us showing up in black and being all somber. We thought we would wear our boots and our plaid and do this in a style that would make her so happy.” Grillo’s funeral was held later in her home state of Illinois. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to TherAplay.
the accident The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle crash at 8 a.m. Nov. 12 at Ind. 32 and Gray Road. Deputies determined a 2014 GMC Sierra was travelling east on Ind. 32 and disregarded a red traffic light, colliding into a 2011 Honda Accord driven by Jen Grillo travelling north in the intersection. The driver of the GMC Sierra, John D. Miller, 68, of Westfield said the sun glared into his eyes and he was unable to see the traffic light color and the car in the intersection. Grillo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hopefully, it ties into the students here that they can play their part and they can make the difference.” Kinyon, who was active duty in the U.S. Army from 1998 to 2006, was an explosives detector dog handler in Iraq in 2004. “I had a dog that helped me find bombs and weapons caches,” said Kinyon, who served as a speaker at the City of Carmel’s Veterans Day celebration several years ago. Joining Kinyon as a main speaker was CHS social studies teacher Pete O’Hara, who was an army colonel in the First Infantry Division and served in the Persian Gulf War in 1991. “We were the first American unit into Iraq,” O’Hara said. “Before we sent our ground

troops in, we fired the largest artillery preparation since World War II, and I planned it. I put an X for every single target.” O’Hara joined the high school staff in 2000 after retiring from the army. He serves as head freshman football coach. “I’ve been in every single one of these we’ve ever done,” O’Hara said. “It’s so awesome to see the veterans here. When we first did this, we had a few veterans but it has grown.” CHS history teacher Will Ellery organizes the annual Veterans Day program. After the convocation, the veterans were served lunch at the school. The school’s Wind Symphony and Ambassadors provided patriotic music.

High school sweethearts, luxury business still going strong By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Kevin and Ann Day’s romance began as 4-H Club members as juniors in high school. “We showed beef cattle and pigs against each other. That’s how we met,” Ann said. The Days’ love affair with the fur business is not quite as long, but close. The couple, who lives in Westfield, have been married 36 years, and Day Furs is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. It started in Bloomington but two years later moved to Carmel. For its first five years the store was at 126th Street and Range Line Road, and it has been at 1361 S. Range Line Road for the past 28 years. “We’re passionate about our product, but we’re also passionate about our people, whether it’s our customers or employees, too,” Ann said. Joyce Irwin of Indianapolis has been a customer for 25 years. “Day Furs is much more than a fur and outerwear store,” Irwin said. “They have unique cashmere wraps and unique leather and suede items that can be customized for your own personal unique style. At Day you are more than a customer. You are family. They listen and match to your individual style. I always know that Day Furs will have an incredible scarf or accessory to make the perfect outfit. I love it because they know my style and know what I like.” Ann, a 1976 alumnae of Carmel High School, graduated from Purdue after studying fashion retailing and retail management. Kevin worked for a retail fur business in Indianapolis after graduating from Westfield High School in 1976. “I worked three years and then moved to Bloomington to work for a publishing company,” Kevin said. They decided to open a small fur store while Kevin continued working at the publishing job. When they first moved the store to Carmel, Kevin worked for an advertising agency. “We stock very fashion-forward inventory,” Kevin said. “We sell more than just furs. We sell leather and accessories.” Ann said those accessories include gloves, scarves, earmuffs, handbags, jewelry and headbands. “Some of our Bloomington customers have been with us for the whole time,” Ann said.
Approximately 20 percent of their business is restyling furs. “With the smaller stores we originally had we didn’t have space for all the accessories and leather we do now,” Ann said. There is a call center on the second floor, where employees call previous customers to check on their needs. The Days have sold furs to customers in Great Britain, Russia, New Zealand, Australia and France. They started Estate Furs, which purchases furs from estates to re-sell, 12 years ago. Day Furs has two employees who work on restyling and alterations. “Nine times out of 10, on the things we sell we have to do some kind of alteration or monogram or customizing,” Ann said. “We take pride in that. We feel it’s important that the coat is perfect when it leaves here.” Ann said dressing up is a little more back in style since the Center for the Performing Arts opened in Carmel in 2011. “We are seeing a bit of a resurgence of dressing up again, and we’re selling a lot of evening wraps and stoles for capes for evening wear that years ago we didn’t really sell,” Ann said. Mink is the No. 1 seller, but there eight to 10 different types of fur sold at the store. “You can do a lot with mink. It can be dyed,” Ann said. Cameron, 24, their youngest of two sons, graduated from Purdue in 2014 with a degree in organizational leadership from the College of Technology. Cameron, who had interned at his parents’ store during college, worked for Angie’s List for several months after graduating before deciding he wanted to join the family business two years ago. “I do all the online inventory and all the road shows in the spring and fall,” Cameron said. Ann said Cameron brings youth and supplies fresh ideas. The Days also own a fur store, Bella Furs, in Grand Rapids, Mich. Cameron, who lives in Carmel, helps with the website and services the satellite operations in Louisville, South Bend, Toledo, Ohio; and Madison, Wis. The Days use hotel conference rooms a few times a year in each city for sales and service. “We’re always looking for ways to improve and grow the business,” Kevin said.
Viktoriya Kishko adds pockets to a coat at Day Furs.
Meet the Days Family: The Days’ oldest son, Nathan, 30, runs his own business, selling used livestock equipment. He lives in Westfield and is married to Renee. Cameron and Nathan graduated from Westfield High School. Most expensive item sold: Six figures, but the Days didn’t want to name the actual price. Sable furs are the most expensive furs. Celebrity customers: Florence Henderson and Jim Nabors. “We’ve had racecar drivers’ wives and some local pro athletes (from the Colts and Pacers),” said Kevin, not wanting to name specific athletes. Most unusual requests: “We made a fur bunting for a baby and then later made it into a vest for a little girl,” Ann said. “We took a customer’s coat and made fur coats for their five granddaughters’ American Girl dolls. We made them like miniature mink coats for the dolls and monogramed them with the little girl’s name on each.” For more: Visit dayfurs.com and estatefurs.com

Aftermath: It gets worse With Donald Trump’s Electoral College victory over Hillary Clinton for president, a number of things have been shaken to the fore, and many of them belong filed under You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: • The “leadership” at some of our colleges endorses offering hot chocolate, cancelled exams and therapy dogs to help students traumatized by the election result. What we find traumatic is these students are future leaders of America. • The president of the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, is being asked to stop quoting Jefferson by some students and staff, because Jefferson – terribly unfortunately, in our opinion – owned slaves, as did others of his era. • The “peaceful” protests in Portland, Ore., recently netted 112 rioters. Please note that 70 percent of the detained did not vote, according to a report. • Calls to abolish the Electoral College continue. They do not take into account the votes of rural America, equally represented with big-city America in the E.C. outcome. With the popular vote as the lone determining factor, campaigns would heavy up in the major metro areas and call it a day. That’s exclusionary, in our view. • The blatant hatred and racism from some of both parties’ voters is abominable. Win or lose, we believe it’s best for everyone to give the outcome a chance to succeed, and to work together for the betterment of our nation. In all sincerity, Happy Thanksgiving.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Life is for the living Commentary by Terry Anker Driving across the more rural of our environs during the rising of a spectacular harvest moon, one is reminded of the quiet grandeur all around. Big skies, still nights, teeming wildlife and intricately choreographed interconnections, dependent upon one and then another. Nature, by its very nature, is a spectacular. So why do we so regularly fail to notice the symphony taking place around us? What leads us to tune out the drama like a bad soundtrack in a shopping mall – only aware of it at its loudest and most disruptive points? Is it that we humans have become less attentive than our not-that-distant ancestors? Is it that, since we have very little legitimate fear of attack by mountain lion or warring tribe, we have lost some primal instinct to observe the world around us? Or, is it just that the chirping of crickets have been replaced by the chirping of cell phones? To be sure, the devices are de-
signed to drown out all other stimuli. Their chatter aligns to our own desire to feel wanted and responsive. So why doesn’t nature stage a comeback? It does, we’d guess, during a raging blizzard or torrential rainstorm. But can it ever hope to regain our attention in the quiet moments? Can the sunrise get us to put down the remote control? A deaf man whose hearing was restored by modern science was once asked his greatest surprise in joining our noisy world. He responded that he thought the sun would be louder. How can something so majestic be so quiet? He makes a good point. Are we attending to the real beauty in our lives or, instead, are we simply being overwhelmed by the noise?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.” – Oscar Wilde
In this season of Thanksgiving, I’d like to recognize a most unlikely group, a marching band, for salvaging a humor steaming dump of a week. I was on my way home after nearly 12 hours of high school debate competition (always a fun way to spend a Saturday!) when my younger daughter called to say she had not procured a ride to a Bar Mitzvah celebration, and could I please hurry up and take her. Normally, I would have pawned her off on my husband Doo, but he had been MIA for seven days, first on a business trip and then on a manly-man deer shooting expedition. This single-parenting gig had already taken its toll. I’d been forced to deal with the election results and my oldest’s broken-nose surgery alone, on the same day, and hadn’t been sleeping much since. My diminished coping skills had resulted in zero grocery runs, zero papers graded and hours of phone solitaire. I was serving cat food to the dog, Halloween candy to the kids and a heaping pile of pity to myself. But I still had to be mom, and so I got my daughter to her party, took her brother for Steak-n-Shake, and then drove downtown for my other daughter’s band competition. I left as soon as she was finished and mercifully crawled into bed before 11. But this was nationals, and though I was utterly exhausted, nerves and guilt kept me checking the live stream for updates. I’d already missed the prelims and semis. I felt I owed it to her to watch the results, albeit virtually. As the bloggers began posting the finishes in exceptionally drawn-out fashion, adrenaline coursed through my body. Eventually, I had to sit up. Down to the final three, first one archrival and then another, were announced. Her band had won, on a tiebreaker point. I leapt out of bed, screaming and dancing. In that moment, I forgot about everything negative in my world and focused on the happiness of my child. And that made all the difference. Congratulations CHS marching band, and, thank you. Peace out.

R EA D E R S ' V I EWS Tax dollars should not fund Christkindl market Editor, I was surprised and disappointed to learn that one of the few remaining greenspaces in downtown Carmel is soon to be paved over with concrete to create an outdoor ice rink that may be used only a few times out of the year, particularly since there is an existing ice rink in Carmel. However, what leaves me extremely dismayed is the plan for the city to build a Christkindl market, even if it is operated through a third-party nonprofit.

cally to cater to any religion. To do so is not only exclusionary but is a violation of the separation between church and state guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. I am seriously opposed to any government promotion of religion. I suspect that despite the wastefulness of building an outdoor ice rink when it is 80 degrees in November, it is an inevitable project, but I strongly oppose the building and promotion of any religious activity funded by my tax dollars, or any tax dollars.

been that they could live in a world free of discrimination. Within hours of the election results, there were numerous reports of white students exhibiting bigoted and racist behaviors similar to that of Presidentelect Trump's behavior on the campaign trail. I do not want my three children to experience the pain and humiliation that comes from acts of bigotry and racism. I want my children to see themselves as equal to others, not less than. I want people to look past their race and see their talents and intelligence. I want them to live their best lives. After this election, I fear my children will not have this chance. I ask for your help—speak up against racism and bigotry, share my column with others and create an America that is an equal and safe place for all of our children.
Since Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president of the United States, I have heard politics many people say, “I'm in a state of shock.” For me, it goes much deeper. I am disappointed and hurt. Most importantly, I am afraid not for myself, but I fear for my children. I’m not asking you to agree with me, but I ask that you read this column with empathy and try to understand my perspective, my experience and my hopes for 2017 and beyond. Throughout the primary and general elections, Trump’s discriminatory comments excluded groups of people based on their race, gender, nationality and religion. His actions and words make one feel inferior and unequal to others. In spite of his documented behavior, the American people elected him to the most powerful office in the nation. Seeing his behavior condoned in 2016 hurts the core of my existence. I have faced discriminatory behavior for most of my life. Since having children, my hope has

In a flash: Locked out Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I had just gotten home after giving a speech, pulled into the garage about 11 p.m. and entered the house through humor the door inside the garage. Mary Ellen was asleep upstairs. I undressed, but before putting on my sleeping shorts, I ran downstairs to grab a small bottle of fruit juice from the garage fridge. I retrieved the drink and turned the knob to re-enter the house. The knob refused to budge. I was locked out. Buck naked. I banged on the door, bellowing Mary Ellen’s name, but the bedroom door was closed and the ceiling fan was whirring. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would need to make a disturbance that was a four. On the Richter scale. My cell phone was in the car! If I called the home phone, that would surely get Mary Ellen’s attention. It rang and rang but no answer. It went to voicemail. Out of habit, I left a message: “Hello, Mary Ellen. If you get this, I’m in the garage with no clothes on. When you have a moment, could you come downstairs and let me in?” I’m not a pessimist, but I knew she wasn’t going to check for messages at 11:15 p.m. Then, I remembered that sometimes I leave
the back door of the house unlocked. All I had to do was sneak around and go through the entrance on the deck. I needed to give some serious consideration to my wardrobe. What was appropriate for this occasion? I had two choices: A 40-gallon black garbage bag or the 34-gallon clear plastic bags. I look terrible in black, but the other option seemed, well, redundant. Instead, I just opened the garage door and made my way along the side of the house. Then, as I neared the back yard, I bolted toward the deck and into the living room. The next morning, I didn’t tell Mary Ellen what happened, but she called from work later that day. “Dick, I just listened to the oddest message. Apparently, last night, there was a naked man in our garage. Who in heaven’s name could that have possibly been?” “I haven’t the slightest idea, Mary Ellen.” She’d never find out. I didn’t leave my name on that voicemail.

The Hamilton County Health Dept. in conjunction with the Indiana State Dept. of Health has been investigating frozen alert strawberries that have been recalled due to potential contamination with hepatitis A. Of approximately 1,400 retail food establishments in Hamilton County, 17 facilities received the recalled product. Of those, two facilities required additional follow-up by epidemiological staff. During the follow-up investigation it has been determined that no facilities are using the recalled product, and it has been determined that there is a low risk for HAV communication. People who consumed products containing frozen strawberries from a Hamilton County food establishment and are concerned are encouraged to contact their primary care provider. People who consumed the product between Nov. 2 to 18 may be eligible to receive prophylactic treatment. People who consumed the product before Nov. 2 are beyond the twoweek prophylaxis window and should watch for signs and symptoms of hepatitis A. For more information, call 317-776-8500.

Gerry Dick speaks on state’s economic future after vote
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
In his Nov. 9 presentation during the OneZone Chamber of Commerce Luncheon at Forum Conference Center development in Fishers, Gerry Dick recapped the results of the election and what they mean for the state and nation. He also outlined what to expect regarding Indiana’s 2017 business economy. The president and managing editor of “Grow Indiana Ventures” and host of “Inside Indiana Business,” Dick spoke about the passing of Marion County’s mass transit referendum, the changing of hands of the superintendent of public instruction after the election and a low unemployment rate thanks to an educated work force in Indiana. He gave credit to forward-looking mayors in the Indianapolis area. “We have mayors who have a vision for the community and are not afraid to act on that, whether here in Fishers or Carmel, and I would certainly add in Westfield and Noblesville as well,” Dick said. “Here in Fishers, there are not only high-profile projects like IKEA, but there are investments coming to Hamilton County and particularly here in Fishers with tech companies like CloudOne, an Internet of Things company, Pie Lab and Edwin the Duck (in Carmel). There’s an intentional plan about being innovative and supporting entrepreneurs in this region that I think is very important and has achieved a lot of things currently. I think the future looks very bright indeed.” Dick applauded Indiana’s collaboration, manufacturing, orthopedic, agricultural and rural economic development. “We are beginning to see collaboration. Problems still exist but regions of the state — cities, counties — have competed against each other, and those barriers I think are beginning to be broken down,” Dick said. “I think OneZone commerce is a great example of that collaboration that is taking place.” In the next five years, approximately 62

percent of workers will require some form of post-high school education. Currently, only 42 percent of central Indiana’s population meets that post-secondary education requirement. Dick addressed the widening gap between hard and soft skills, encouraging millennials to strengthen their communication skills to be able to stand out among businesses. “Part of it is the technology, which is on one hand the greatest thing in the world, but on the other hand, over and over if I ask a CEO or HR person what is lacking in students you see coming in and interviewing for jobs, and communications skills are right at the top of the list,” Dick said. “Professionals are seeing very smart, young people who can’t write a basic business memo or communicate verbally. Anytime I’m speaking to students, (I tell them), ‘If you can communicate and own that skill, you’ll stand out above the field by a long shot.’” At the end of his presentation, Dick took questions from the audience, with one regarding what Indiana isn’t doing to attract new businesses. One of Dick’s answers revolved around the overall health of Indiana residents. “We’ve got so many things like cost of living and quality of life, but we have to have the training and the skilled workers,” he said. “Improvements (to the parks and trails) make the area nicer to live in to attract talent but also make us healthy.”

A champion of the Great American Songbook, singer-songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway considers Barbra Streisand a friend. Yet, it’s not as if she can call her on the phone and say, “Hey, Babs, I’ve got another song for you.” music “I’ve had many wonderful conversations with Barbra over the years,” Callaway said. “But no matter how wonderful our times have been, I still feel in a state of awe over her. Your heart always beats faster when you’re in the same room with her. It’s like finding out that Santa Claus is a real person.” Callaway and conductor Charles Prince and Carmel Symphony Orchestra will deliver a family-oriented holiday package of pop, jazz and classical holiday tunes at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at The Palladium. Callaway’s music and lyrics have been performed and recorded by Liza Minnelli, Carole King, Michael Feinstein and Pattie LuPone, to name a few, but one of her favorite projects was writing the lyrics to “I’ve Dreamed of You” for Streisand, who sang the song to James Brolin on their wedding day. “Barbara had fallen in love with the melody by Rolf Lovland, a great composer from Norway, so she asked me to write the lyrics,” Callaway said of the wedding song. “What I didn’t know was that she was getting married three days later. I wrote the song just in the nick of time. She got it three hours before she was getting married.’’ Callaway also wrote “A Christmas Lullaby” for Streisand’s “Christmas Memories” before recording her own Christmas album, last year’s “The Hope of Christmas” with holiday lyrics written by two-time Emmy Award winner William Schermerhorn. Her holiday concert will include her own “God Bless My Family,” Ella Fitzgerald’s “Blues in the Night,” a song recorded by Streisand, “At The Same Time,” and a couple classics mirroring Streisand’s interpretation. “I happen to be a very sentimental person when it comes to the holidays, so it was a wonderful adventure.” For more, visit thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Tailgater Christmas shopping Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Since 1932, Thanksgiving weekend has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S. This is the best time to think of tailgating equipment and gear, because tailgate stuff is a group of items greatly reduced in price to clear store shelves of goods not needed until next spring’s camping season. Usually, football fans miss Black Friday events due to scheduling of games important to them. That’s OK, however, because there’s more to tailgate bargains than just on one day. They last at least a whole week. “Forbes Entrepreneurs” reported in 2013 that Cyber Monday, the online counterpart to Black Friday, has been gaining unprecedented popularity — to the point where cyber sales are continuing throughout the week, earning the name Cyber Week. Here is our short guide for shopping for the tailgater: • Make a list of things you have found that you need. • Exclude cutesy things like spatulas with school logos; odd shaped tables; games you don’t need; grills with built-in coolers; things the wind will blow away. • Find the items you want online. • Check the availability of your items with local stores with online shopping. • Compare the online prices with those at your local stores. • Always ask for a price match if the local price is higher. • Don’t pay shipping unless there is no other option. Christmas shopping season can be an ordeal, so to make sure you have energy to stay

Show celebrates 25th year By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Carmel High School choral director Ann Conrad had a good feeling that Holiday Spectacular would be performance a success. “The community embraced it from the beginning, and we thought it was a great way to get kids involved in a concert that wasn’t just a concert but a little more elaborate,” said Conrad, who retired in 2014. “I’m proud of that being part of my legacy to be involved with that creative team.” The Holiday Spectacular celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with performances at 7 p.m. Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 3 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 3-4 at the CHS auditorium. Kathrine Kouns, director of choirs, said when she came to CHS, she was well aware of the Holiday Spectacular’s tradition. “Over the years, it has become a tradition for people all across Indiana to enjoy as they kick off their holiday season. The show has grown in spectacle and always features hundreds of students, thousands of costumes, fantastic sets, amazing fun and inspirational music, and always a visit from Santa himself,” Kouns said. “It is a family friendly show for all ages, and the Carmel students have as much

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian-Kessler kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal for this Meridian-Kessler kitchen was to create more storage and functional counter space, as well as creating seating for the family. 1. The original cabinets and countertops were replaced to make the room, light, bright and white. The homeowner wanted marble countertops like her grandmother used to have. This was a great choice to both update the space and respect the integrity of the original design. 2. By reworking a doorway into the kitchen, more usable wall space was available to contain appliances and create a new walk-in pantry. An original door was repurposed for the pantry to maintain consistent style through the home. 3. An archway into the old breakfast room was relocated to elongate the kitchen footprint. This space now houses a wine fridge and additional storage. 4. Wood floors were installed to match the rest of the home’s aesthetic. Design details such as the hardware, mercury glass lighting and stainless steel range hood update this otherwise traditional kitchen.
Before Background Info: This 1920s Meridian-Kessler kitchen was in need of an upgrade. The small layout wasn’t giving the family the space they needed to gather. The homeowners knew they needed a more updated kitchen, and also wanted to keep the design integrity of their older home.
Before problems: The original kitchen was closed off to the living room and the rest of the house. This older home had a small kitchen and a breakfast room. This is a typical design for these older homes in the Meridian-Kessler area. In this particular home, it resulted in a fragmented layout and unusable space.

Great Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Budapest’s Great Synagogue Commentary by Don Knebel The Great Synagogue of Budapest is among the five largest synagogues in the world and is a symbol of religious tolerance. Sadly, it also remembers a period of extreme relitravel gious hatred. By the middle of the 19th century, Jewish residents represented about 25 percent of the combined populations of Pest and Buda, Hungary, which later merged to form Budapest. In 1854, residents of Pest began building a monumental new synagogue along Dohány Street. Ludwig Förster, the building’s architect, was reportedly unable to identify a distinctively Jewish style, so he based the exterior design on Islamic buildings in Spain and Morocco, incorporating two onion domed towers resembling minarets. He located a rose window reminiscent of the great Gothic cathedrals above the entrance.

The Great Synagogue was severely damaged during World War II by the Nazis, who used it as a stable. Under the Communists, the few Jews remaining in Budapest began using it again for worship. After Hungarian democracy was established in the 1990s, the synagogue was restored with government funds and private donations. Today, the Great Synagogue’s ark includes scrolls recovered from synagogues destroyed by the Nazis. The synagogue building is attached to the Jewish Museum, which includes a Holocaust Room remembering the events that led to the deaths of about 400,000 Hungarian Jews. A cemetery north of the building includes a mass grave of those killed in the Holocaust. The interfaith design of the Great Synagogue has influenced synagogue designs around the world. The Central Synagogue in New York City, built in 1872, is almost identical.

Make Thanksgiving easy – Do these three things to make Turkey Day a little simpler: Check your serving platter inventory to make sure you have enough bowls and platters to serve, plan the buffet route and place utensils at the opposite end so guests grab them last, and determine the dish order as people fill up their plates more at the beginning so place bread, salad and side dishes before richer dishes so you are sure to have enough of everything.
