CHS football stadium improvements to cost more than expected

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

building was approved 5-0.

EDUCATION

Carmel Clay Schools Associate Superintendent Roger McMichael attempted to soften the blow of inflation leading to a higher-than-expected construction cost.

McMichael told the school board at its June 26 meeting that the good news is there was significant participation in the bids for the Carmel High School football stadium’s south support building, and that the bids were all close together.

“The bad news is, this project came in considerably over the estimate,” McMichael said. “The estimate was $5.8 million, and the bids are just under $7.2 million, and that’s not typical. Although in recent months it might seem like it’s typical, generally our construction manager company would be within five percent or less (on the bid).”

The bid award for the south support

McMichael said the plan is to move funding from a bond issue for upgrades at Creekside Middle School to the next bond issue. Most of the work, which includes resurfacing the parking lots and repairing sidewalks, is not set to be done at Creekside until the spring of 2024, so it won’t change the project schedule but will change the funding source.

The football stadium support building will include unified athletics locker rooms, new restrooms, hospitality space and concessions on the visitors’ side. The building will be a new entry point for the complex.

McMichael said the likelihood is the longer the district waits to begin construction, the more the project will cost.

At the meeting, three other change orders were approved by a 4-1 vote. Two of the issues involved approving expenditures for the performing arts center. The third issue involved $35,000 for placing a logo on the Murray Stadium soccer field.

“We would have intended a logo to be there like it is on the football stadium, but it wasn’t,” McMichael said. “So, this is providing the logo in the artificial turf.”

Board member Greg Brown was opposed to spending $35,000 from the capital budget on a soccer field logo.

“I question the fiscal responsibility of that and we might find better uses, particularly in the realm of safety,” Brown said. “There are still some bits and pieces that could be improved to make the buildings a little more safe, (such as to) fortify windows, that kind of thing.”

McMichael said adding the logo is “not keeping us from doing something with security that we might all agree would be more important.”

In addition, the board approved two appointments to represent the district on the Carmel Clay Public Library Board. Former CHS principal John Williams will serve another term and Rosie Foulke first term. Foulke replaces Patti Napier, who had served the maximum of four consecutive terms.

MAYOR HONORED FOR SERVICE

Two Indianapolis men were arrested June 25 for armed robbery of the CVS at 1421 S. Range Line Rd. Carmel police responded to the scene at approximately 5:30 a.m. after receiving a report that two armed males jumped the pharmacy counter and stole pills before fleeing the scene.

POLICE

A Carmel Police Department officer soon noticed a suspicious vehicle in the area. They conducted a traffic stop near W. 86th Street and Interstate 465 and discovered evidence in the vehicle consistent with the CVS robbery.

Police arrested Mikhal Davaughn, 22, and David Jahmal Washington, 20, of Indianapolis. Davaughn has been charged with robbery of a pharmacy with a deadly weapon, criminal confinement while armed with a deadly weapon, intimidation, pointing a firearm, battery and theft. Washington has been charged with robbery of a pharmacy with a deadly weapon, criminal confinement while armed with a deadly weapon and theft.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact CPD at 317-571-2500. or Crime Stoppers at crimetips.org. Reference CPD case number 23-44469.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, who has been part of the U.S. Conference of Mayors for more than two decades and served in a leadership role for the past 13 years, was honored recently along with three other mayors who have chosen to step down as mayor of their cities. The honor was presented at the 91st Annual Meeting of the Mayors held in Columbus, Ohio. Mayor Brainard has served on the USCM Executive Committee and as a Trustee since 2010.

Local Moms for Liberty group apologizes for Hitler quote

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County Chapter Chair Paige Miller responded via text to a request for comment.

our kids in school — parents or government employees?” they state.

COUNTY

The first newsletter for Hamilton County’s chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national conservative organization, received a lot of attention because of a quote from Adolf Hitler at the top of the first page.

The first draft of the newsletter, released June 21, had only the quote, “He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future,” attributed to the Nazi leader, with no explanation of why it was included.

State Rep. Victoria Garcia Wilburn, D-Fishers, responded that night on Twitter.

“It was brought to my attention that a special interest group of Hamilton County has been using quotes authored by Hitler. Let me be very clear. Hate has no place in Hamilton County or anywhere in Indiana,” she wrote. “By definition liberty means the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions, Hitler believed in the opposite of liberty.’”

Jocelyn Vare, a Fishers City Council member, also posted about the newsletter June 21 on Twitter.

“To the local members of Moms For Liberty, our neighbors, I say this: Your Hitler rally cry is repulsive,” she wrote. “Our community will not be undone by your poison.”

A later draft of the newsletter posted on the group’s Facebook page included this explanation: “The quote from a horrific leader should put parents on alert. If the government has control over our children today, they control our country’s future. We The People must be vigilant and protect children from an overreaching government.”

“We condemn Adolf Hitler’s actions and his dark place in human history,” she said. “We should not have quoted him in our newsletter and we express our deepest apology.”

Moms for Liberty recently was listed as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. According to the SPLC. “Moms for Liberty is a far-right organization that engages in anti-student inclusion activities and self-identifies as part of the modern parental rights movement. The group grew out of opposition to public health regulations for COVID-19, opposes LGBTQ+ and racially inclusive school curriculum, and has advocated books bans.”

In its newsletter, the Hamilton County chapter includes a response to the SPLC from the national organization’s founders, Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich.

“Name-calling parents who want to be a part of their child’s education as ‘hate groups’ or ‘bigoted’ just further exposes what this battle is all about: Who fundamentally gets to decide what is taught to

Also in the Hamilton County chapter’s newsletter is a list of “parent wins.” They include:

• A new policy at Hamilton East Public Library that requires all books in the youth sections to be reviewed, and books containing certain topics be moved to the adult section.

• The passage of HB1447, which establishes a set of rules regarding school library materials that will allow any community member to ask for specific items to be removed from the shelves and requires schools to publish a catalog of library books.

• The passage of HB 1608, which prohibits instruction on human sexuality in kindergarten through third grade and requires schools to notify a parent if a student wants to change their name or pronoun.

• More stringent rules related to student surveys conducted by the national organization Panorama.

Softball coach moves to Pro X

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For Jeanne Rayman, the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Jaylen Quarles of Pro X Phoenix and help with the younger programs. Quarles was the sole director of Phoenix this year.

SPORTS

The Carmel resident is moving from her role as successful Shockwaves youth softball coach to the Pro X program in Westfield. She will continue to coach a 16-and-under team under Pro X’s Phoenix brand. Pro X is an athlete development program.

“They have a beautiful training facility, primarily for baseball and softball, with other strength and agility training that they have there,” said Rayman, who announced the move June 28. “In partnering with them and increasing their softball presence with the Phoenix program they started last year, it’s the opportunity for my athletes to take part in the use of Pro X and the opportunity to have an 18U team that my players can laterally move into, which is mentored by me but run by other coaches.”

Rayman said there are not a lot of nonparent coaches like her in travel softball. She said she expects a few of her younger Shockwaves club players will follow her to the Phoenix team.

“I’ll be looking to fill the rest of the 16U team to go in the tryout process,” she said. “We’ll be creating an 18U team and hiring an 18U coaching staff. We’re looking for potentially former collegiate players in the area who are looking to get into coaching or looking to have a better coaching opportunity.”

Rayman also will be a co-director with

“My primary focus will be on the two older teams,” said Rayman, who has three former players who are now NCAA Division I assistant coaches.

Rayman’s Shockwaves 16U team won the USA Softball Class A national title in 2021.

Rayman, a 1986 Carmel High School graduate and former Butler University softball player, has coached the Shockwaves 16U team for 11 years.

“Prior to that, I coached another club for two years and I was Butler’s softball coach for seven years,” said Rayman, who was a CHS softball and basketball letter winner.

Pro X’s president is former Major League Baseball player Joe Thatcher, who pitched in the majors for nine seasons. Mark Walther, Pro X director of operations, said there are nine teams for the 2023 season. He said the goal is to add a handful of teams next season.

There are three U16 teams now and Rayman will coach Phoenix’s 16U national team.

“We’re very excited to get a high-level coach in our organization to go along with our other great coaches and lead the path of driving what we want our organization to be, which is one of the premier softball organizations in the Midwest,” Walther said.

Tryout dates for ages 8-12 are from 6 to 8 p.m. July 18 and for ages 14-18 from 6 to 8 p.m. July 25. The tryouts will be at Grand Park with the field to be determined. Additional tryout dates will be added, along with private tryouts.

CPD K-9 remembered as dedicated partner

By Shelly Gattlieb news@currentincarmel.com

To Carmel Police Department Officer Jamie Reynolds, being the handler for K-9 Axl encompassed more than her working hours.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

“He was not a tool (for police work),” Reynolds said. “He was a living, breathing creature with a really awesome skill set.”

Axl, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois, died suddenly June 16 after a brief illness. A necropsy was performed to determine his cause of death, but results were not available as of press time.

Reynolds became his handler in September 2019 after his first handler, Officer Katy Malloy, was promoted to sergeant. After the promotion, Malloy found ways to remain involved in Axl’s life.

Born on May 23, 2015, in Poland, he received his training at Von Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind., where he was initially paired with Malloy. He joined CPD in March 2017.

Axl promoted public safety by locating illegal drugs and related contraband and other evidence. Reynolds described him as a dedicated partner with a strong drive to work.

Reynolds thanked VCA Advanced Care for providing exceptional care, kindness and compassion in treating Axl.

Hamilton County Veterans Corp. to host resource fair

By Matthew Kent matthew@youarecurrent.com

An upcoming resource fair in Noblesville will connect veterans and active military members with about 60 organizations as part of an event that is also designed to be educational for the general public, according to organizers.

veteran service organizations within Hamilton County, according to its website. Doss, who served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, said the Hamilton County Veterans Corp. has worked on various projects since its inception.

EVENT

The July 8 event is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is presented by the Hamilton County Veterans Corp. at Noblesville Schools Community Center, 1775 Field Dr. The event will allow attendees to learn about local, state and federal resources that are available, said Bill Doss, secretary and webmaster with the Hamilton County Veterans Corp. The organization, which has a mailing address in Noblesville, was founded in 2003 and became a nonprofit in 2012, according to Doss.

Members include individuals from the American Legion, VFW, AMVETS and other

The organization brought the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to Hamilton County in 2003 and again in 2007, while it also rebuilt the Hamilton County War Memorial at Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville after a seven-year fundraising effort, according to Doss. He said the Hamilton County Veterans Corp., which consists of seven members, “is small, but mighty” and pointed out that the organization’s mission focuses on veterans taking care of veterans.

Doss, who lives in Fishers, said the organization also works to assist veterans in Hamilton County with any issues they might have, noting that all of the VFW and American Legions within the county will be in attendance at the veterans resource fair. The

Donald Lee Burnell, 71, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, with family members by his side. Don has finally joined his Savior in heavenly glory and is reunited with his father, mother and brother!

Born January 2, 1952, to John and Betty Burnell, Donald lived his rambunctious young life in Jolietville, IN. Raised during simpler times with siblings Linda, Betty, John, Jimmy, and Sue Ann; Don never was far from mischief or adventure in the Burnell house. He graduated from Westfield High School in 1970. A relentless work ethic was instilled in Donald at a young age, as his parents set the tone. He held numerous jobs through adolescence and young adult life. These included various roles on and around farms, some interesting golf caddying experiences and other times in factory work or general labor. However, it was in 1974 that Don’s journey began for his true calling as a plumber! Over the course of an envious 45-year career, Don navigated through apprenticeship to licensed journeyman to project superintendent for the City of Indianapolis. From residential homes to 28-story municipal buildings, no leak or clog stood a chance if Don or Don’s team was called into action. His professional skill equally matched his professional generosity as he never turned down an opportunity to help friends and family with their plumbing needs, whether that meant dirty crawl spaces, flooded basements, or new equipment and appliance installs. Donald retired on September 27, 2019, but not before renewing his licensing so he could “officially” continue to work on small projects for those closest to him.

Donald was the consummate “life of the party.” He loved getting together with friends and family to celebrate any occasion. Holidays, family cookouts and all gatherings were a chance to enjoy life and have a good time. His dance moves were almost as legendary as his short shorts. The family

Daughters of the American Revolution will also be present, along with representatives from the Veterans Benefits Administration, Easterseals Crossroads, among others.

“If we all share those resources, the stronger we’re going to be in being able to help our friends, our neighbors,” Doss said. “It just makes more sense to work together and be more connected.”

Doss, who estimates there are 17,000 veterans in Hamilton County, said many veterans often don’t know about the benefits they are eligible for once they leave their branch of service.

“That is really the hardest part is reaching those that don’t know,” Doss said.

Doss also said many veterans face issues such as PTSD and noted it is important that people recognize ways to help individuals around them.

“It takes the whole community to let them know that they’re not alone,” he said.

But the veterans resource fair is one way

OBITUARY

vacations were full of adventure. Visits to brother John in Colorado, his parents in Florida, and even a trip to the Rocky Mountains brought out the full Burnell family experience.

Donald’s hobbies varied throughout his life. These activities included hunting squirrels and rabbits, fishing, and golfing. He loved golfing with his brotherin-law, Jeff, who truly was like a real brother and one of Donald’s closest friends.

A chance encounter with a young blonde girl in 1971 would eventually lead to a fateful evening on December 31, 1974. It was that New Year’s Eve party at an Eagletown farmhouse that Donald Burnell would reconnect with the love of his life, Trina. A whirlwind courtship would culminate with these two lovebirds being married November 1, 1975. All the familiar clichés can describe their next 47 and a half years: better and worse, richer and poorer, high and lows, you get the picture. But their love for each other withstood all turmoil. Donald and Trina took care of each other through it all. Surgeries, cancer treatments, and even organ transplants. Their true love stood firm for the duration and will certainly reunite again someday for all of eternity.

Donald loved his daughters, Shelby and Amy, with all his heart. Their sometimes-challenging childhood and teenage relationships were full of tough love, but they would eventually blossom into beautiful testimony of a father’s unconditional love in their adult lives. Donald would do absolutely anything for his daughters without hesitation. He welcomed Shelby’s husband, Tony, and Amy’s husband, Drew, into the family as his own sons.

The overwhelming love became even more evident when Donald the Daddy was promoted to Donald the Papaw. He LOVED his grandkids soO much!

Donald got such joy from every aspect of his grandkids’ lives.

the Hamilton County Veterans Corp. wants to connect with veterans who might need assistance. The organization also works with other various entities to assist veterans throughout the year as well.

Projects include collecting bikes, clothes and other essentials for Helping Veterans and Families and Good Samaritan, according to Doss.

It also delivers medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and other items to veterans who may need them, Doss said. The organization also refurbishes, cleans and builds ramps to homes for veterans as well, he added.

“We get phone calls from veterans or friends of veterans or from anyone who knows of a situation that we might help with,” Doss said. “We are here to try and do what we can to serve our military veteran community.”

Nolan, Marek, William and Paisley were his greatest sources of happiness. The grandkids were always welcome for sleepovers at Mamaw and Papaw’s. Candy on the menu? Of course! Late-night cartoon sessions? You bet! Slip them a ten or a twenty without anybody knowing? Yep! Papaw made sure each one had Power Wheels to cruise their own neighborhood. Don even found a new passion for shopping as he spoiled the kids around birthdays and Christmas. As the kids got older, his relationships with them deepened and he was able to share even more of his experiences and memories, particularly about plumbing and golf.

Always somewhat of a God-fearing man, Donald never really had a faith to call his own. This all changed in 2003 as Donald was in the hospital recovering from his liver transplant. He vividly recalled experiencing the presence of Jesus, and being told that everything would be alright. Donald was Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ on October 19, 2003. In Donald’s final months, he often spoke of getting to Heaven and wrapping his arms around his Lord and Savior, and giving big hugs to his mom Betty, dad John, and brother John once again. Donald Burnell’s legacy will carry on long after he is gone. He is survived by his beautiful wife, Trina; daughters Shelby Hughes (Tony) and Amy Torzewski (Drew); grandchildren Nolan Torzewski, Marek Torzewski, William Hughes, and Paisley Torzewski; sisters Linda Reed, Betty Rynard, and Sue Ann Hay (Mike); brothers Jimmy Burnell and Jeff Francis; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were officiated by Pastor George Huff on Friday, June 30, 2023, at 1 p.m. at Flanner Buchanan –Hamilton Memorial Park (Prairie Waters). Burial at Williams Creek Cemetery on West 96th Street was immediately followed the service.

Memorial contributions may be made in Donald’s name to support the Indiana Donor Network. Call 317-685-0389 or visit indianadonornetwork.org/foundation/memorial-gift

LIGHTING IT UP

Pryotechnician orchestrates CarmelFest’s dazzling fireworks show for 18th year

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Carl Thompson can’t see the crowd watching the fireworks display that concludes CarmelFest, but he’s well aware of its response at the end. Its roaring cheer provides a rush that’s made his job coordinating the show for the last 18 years well worth the months of planning it takes to pull it off.

“You could have the grumpiest old man in the crowd at a fireworks display and put a smile on his face,” said Thompson, a lead technician with Kingsbury-based Pyrotecnico. “Everybody loves fireworks.”

Thompson began working with CarmelFest in 2005 after the man who previously produced the display died of a heart attack less than six weeks before the event. Jeff Worrell, a CarmelFest volunteer who has been involved with the fireworks show for 31 years, met Thompson during a scramble to find a last-minute replacement.

Worrell said he initially wondered if Pyrotecnico, which was then known as Melrose Pyrotechnics, would be up for the task, since it still had availability on July 4. But the company did not disappoint.

“They wanted to be our vendor and jumped through hoops (to coordinate the display in 2005),” Worrell said. “Carl, from Day 1, was the guy that made all that happen, and he makes it easy. He always wants to make sure that everybody is happy, not only the crowd, but the fire marshal, (CarmelFest) committee and (nearby) business owners. He is a true professional and a really cool guy, because he loves fireworks like I do.”

Worrell typically begins planning for the CarmelFest fireworks show in the fall by creating a playlist of patriotic music for the show.

“It’s a balancing act,” Worrell said. “My audience is age 5 to 95, so I’m trying to put a little something in there for everyone.”

Once the playlist is approved, Pyrotecnico uses a computer system to help synchronize the fireworks to music. Every explosion is deliberately selected to set the pace and tone of that part of the show. Often, planners will coordinate the display to match the lyrics, such as lighting up the sky with red fireworks during the line “and the rockets’ red glare” in “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

As the event draws near, the individual shells are wired up for the show and connected to a computer that knows exactly when to shoot off each one. A driver certified to haul explosive hazardous materials takes the fireworks to the launch site, which for CarmelFest this year is at the Carmel Ice Skadium property.

“This year, it’s going to be a three-day process for me and my crew to set up the show, because it’s a substantially

At this point, Worrell helps ensure Thompson and his team connect with CarmelFest and safety officials. On the night of the show, he is stationed at the gazebo as the Carmel Symphony Orchestra wraps up its concert to give the signal for the fireworks display to begin as soon as the conductor’s baton drops for the final time.

Like Thompson, Worrell doesn’t get to watch much of the

show because he soon relocates to begin directing crowds and traffic heading home from the festival. But it’s all worth the work, he said.

“I love what we’re doing for the next generations and helping them to remember and appreciate not only time with family but what the day truly means — celebrating our nation’s birth,” he said. “I really crave seeing families together enjoying something in Carmel, right in our own backyard.”

Thompson, 50, has scaled back to part-time hours with Pyrotecnico, as he described it as “tedious, back-breaking work.” But he’s eager to continue the tradition in Carmel.

“I couldn’t ask for a better Fourth of July place to shoot the show,” he said. “I’m very pleased and very blessed to be part of it.”

Importance of eye exams for kids

Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano

Vision problems

VISION

Regular eye exams are a must for kids. Since vision problems often appear for the first-time during childhood, having annual eye exams offers a simple way to protect your child’s eyesight.

Good vision is essential for learning

Your child relies on their visual memory to remember spelling words and recognize shapes and letters. If your child’s vision is blurry, the information stored in the brain’s visual memory center may not be accurate. This can lead to difficulty reading, completing math problems, copying words or writing clearly.

School eye exams don’t identify all vision issues

Although the eye exams schools conduct are certainly helpful, they may not identify all vision and medical problems related to the eye. In fact, school vision screenings fail to detect up to 75 percent of vision issues, according to the American Optometric Association.

A variety of vision problems can affect your child’s eyesight and school performance, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), visual processing disorders, focusing problems and eye teaming or tracking difficulties.

Kids may not realize they need glasses

Just because your child has never complained about poor vision doesn’t mean that they can see clearly. After all, it’s impossible to tell that you have a vision problem if the world has always looked slightly blurry.

Regular eye exams will help ensure vision is crisp and clear. Not sure how often your child needs to visit the optometrist? The AOA recommends these visit guidelines: Once between three and five years, before first grade, and annually up to age 18.

CNO Financial Group to move within Carmel to smaller space

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

CNO Financial Group is moving on down the road.

ing space.

“We recognize that 75 acres is a pretty unique and valuable asset right in the heart of Carmel,” Woodruff said. “There are a number of opportunities that could arise and right now we’re exploring all of those options.”

RELOCATION

In early 2024, CNO will relocate its longtime Carmel headquarters at 11825 N. Pennsylvania St. to approximately 1 mile away to lease 125,000 square feet on two floors of the OPENLANE building, 11299 N. Illinois St. OPENLANE was previously known as KAR Auction Services.

CNO started as Security National of Indiana Corp. in 1979 and changed its name to Conseco four years later. The name was changed to CNO Financial Group in 2010.

Matthew Woodruff, a Carmel resident who is CNO vice president of facilities, said there are approximately 3,500 associates in the company, including approximately 1,000 in Indiana.

“We would anticipate that 1,000 people in Indiana would be utilizing this new office,” Woodruff said. “Any of the associates in the company would be able to use it when in town.”

The CNO campus, which has been the company’s home for nearly 35 years, occupies six buildings, totaling 627,000 square feet on 75 acres. CNO occupies 420,000 square feet and the rest is leased. Woodruff said there is a possibility of leasing or sell-

CNO leaders found the company needs less space.

“For the last several years, we’ve been committed to a hybrid and flexible way of working,” Woodruff said. “What that means for CNO is an associate and their manager can basically decide what works best for them, their team and the business on how often they are coming into work. We haven’t established a mandate about the number of days.”

Woodruff said while the company supports hybrid working, its leaders believe there is a need to have some office space as a tool to reinforce the culture.

“Our in-person activities in our office are purpose-driven,” Woodruff said. “We are focusing on the four Cs: connection, collaboration, concentration and celebration.”

Woodruff said the company was looking at a more open way of working, but the COVID-19 pandemic, starting in March 2020, accelerated it significantly.

CNO’s new location has a cafeteria, fitness facility and medical clinic. There are a lot of meeting rooms and large gathering spaces.

Mobile doughnut truck debuts

By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County residents can sweeten parties and events by booking a new food truck.

FOOD

On May 31, a Noblesville family launched DonutNV, a mobile shop that serves Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville. It serves mini doughnuts with a wide range of toppings and lemonade.

Business owner Jason Puetz said DonutNV is a franchise, but he bought the Noblesville and Carmel territories with his wife, Christine Puetz. They call their new food truck the “donut wagon.”

“(We serve) hot mini donuts,” Jason Puetz said. “We have 20 or 30 topping choices like Oreo, Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles.”

Doughnuts are sold in $7 small bags and $10 large bags.

DonutNV offers six fruity flavors of freshly squeezed lemonade that can be served as a drink or frozen. The owners plan to add hot and iced coffee to the menu.

“We will do birthday parties, weddings, farmers markets, neighborhood (events),” Jason Puetz said.

The family plans to add another truck in

the future so two events can be done at once.

Jason Puetz said that he wants his business to be deeply connected to the community.

“People think ‘franchise’ and they think ‘big corporation,’ but It’s just our family-owned small business,” he said. “We’re trying to be involved in our local communities and we give back to schools.”

Fulfilling education dreams

Commentary by Terry Anker

Anniversary B&B fallout

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

ESSAY

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education is working fervently to reverse a disturbing trend in our state — and in most states — that the rate of high school graduates who matriculate to higher education is continuing a downward slide. In Indiana, the five-year trend delivered another one-half percentage point drop this year. Included in the work being undertaken are programs to ensure that rising high school seniors navigate the federal and university bureaucracy to obtain at least three “pre-admission” letters before graduation. Anything to reduce barriers might help with the problem.

We know that training is required for higher-paying, higher-demand jobs. We know that Hoosiers who are properly credentialed almost always financially outperform their counterparts who do not achieve the degree. If so, how is it that folks are moving against their own best interest? Countless reasons might be included if we were to list the gap. Increasing costs, feelings of exclusion, lack of K-12 preparedness, or concern about aligning one’s interests with employment all might

make the agenda. But we also know that family support — really, the support of anyone — highly correlates with success in education. Are families failing to encourage kids to learn? Studies indicate that some are. Do we hate our children? Do we hate universities? There may be some of both. First-generation or underrepresented kids might see such change through education that they are fundamentally transformed. Where they live, what they think, how they entertain themselves, and what they eat — all differentiate them from their roots. Is it possible to imagine that a parent who discourages higher education loves her offspring so much that she couldn’t bear the changes it might bring? If we dreamed of lives with children and grandchildren close to us, does encouraging education require us to give up our anticipated future for theirs?

‘Lounging’ around the airport

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, I recently spent three hours in a Delta Sky Lounge, and as Billy Crystal used to say, “It was mahvelous!”

I filled a plate from a breakfast buffet that included — but was not limited to — Southern grits, link sausages and adorable little pain au chocolat, and then later restocked with lunch nibblies that may have involved a spicy capicola that would have made Tony Soprano weep with gratitude. I sipped two decaf lattes while alternating between online solitaire and Season 17 of “Grey’s Anatomy,” and I delighted in silently creating backstories for my fellow fancy passengers. One guy was definitely CIA, probably on his way to Prague or Moscow or some other former Cold War chic city to chase bad guys and jump rooftops. Another was the CEO of a successful tech startup who’d been visiting her dying grandfather in Savannah to thank him for always believing in her, and I feel confident that the young family next to

me were future heirs to a ketchup empire. Does the name Heinz ring a bell?

Technically, I could have enjoyed the aforementioned activities with the “regular folks” in the main terminal, but of course, it feels better in the lounge. Plus, I didn’t have to drag my luggage into the bathroom stall; I just left it at my semi-private “booth.” Most importantly, all the food and booze was complimentary. No debating whether the $18 mimosa or $20 burger is worth it. It is. Because it’s free!

So, now that I know the secret layover perks of the travel elite, how will I ever fly comfortably again? I won’t. Because it was mahvelous.

Peace out.

fallen out of bed. This awakened Mary Ellen.

“That’s so sweet of you to sleep there. Now you won’t be kicking me.”

HUMOR

It was our 43rd anniversary and I decided to take Mary Ellen to a local art show and stay downtown in this quaint bed and breakfast. My wife loves B&Bs, so I was sure she would enjoy the evening.

The owner offered to take us on a short tour of the historic building. It was quaint and rustic, and we were within walking distance of where we planned to have our dinner. All was perfect … until we saw the bed. It was not a king-size bed. It was not a queen-size bed. It was a double bed. The kind of bed many people sleep in … alone.

“Do you like the room?” the proprietor said.

“I love it,” my wife, said, “but where is my husband going to sleep?”

The woman looked at me and smiled.

“This is your romantic anniversary. I’m sure you will make it work.”

“Even on our honeymoon, this wouldn’t have worked,” my wife said.

Here’s why: I have a few sleep issues. I snore. I move around constantly, tossing and turning, flipping and flopping. People tell my wife she looks incredible for a woman in her early 70s. I say she’s only 40, but this is what happens when you’ve been sleep-deprived your entire marriage.

After dinner, we headed back to the B&B and prepared to turn in.

“Which side of the bed should I take?” I asked my wife.

“Underneath would probably be the best option.”

At about 2 a.m., I was having a very scary dream, and next thing I knew I had

“I am not sleeping here. I fell out of bed.”

“That’s terrible. Maybe you should sleep in the middle.”

“It’s a double bed. There is no middle when there are two people. Let’s go back to sleep.”

At 4 a.m., I fell out again, pulling the pillow off with me. Seeing me on the floor, Mary Ellen got out of bed and lovingly placed a blanket over me. And there I slept — tossing, turning, snoring.

In the morning, the lady at the desk was curious.

“Some of the folks staying at the inn heard loud noises at 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Are you OK? I hope you guys didn’t have a falling out.”

“I’m fine,” Mary Ellen said. “It was only my husband who was falling out.”

We shared our adventure at the B&B with one of our friends. We told Cathy we enjoyed our stay and that next year we would return, but we were going to make different arrangements.

“Are you going to ask for two separate beds?” Cathy said.

“No,” Mary Ellen said. “Two separate rooms.”

READER’S VIEW

Cost of spiritual trauma difficult to calculate

Editor,

I am extremely grateful for the investigative reporting conducted on Northview Church. As someone who carries my (now-smaller) suitcase of church leadership trauma (from another church), it is comforting to know there are people willing to dig below the surface.

The cost of spiritual trauma is difficult to calculate. There are layers to placing your trust in someone whose actions do

not line up with their convictions. We then seem to have a “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” moment, and it is detrimental to anyone who has placed their trust, time and even finances, within the leadership and church. Those within the closer circles know this ripple effect. My thoughts are with those who will need healing from this. Time reveals all.

Couple provides support for Indy Opera’s Lobster Palooza

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Mike and Kimann Schultz are true arts lovers.

‘BEAUTY & THE BEAST’

“Beauty & the Beast” runs through July 9 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

FEINSTEIN’S CABARET

FUNDRAISER

“The way we met was writing songs together, so music has always been a part of our lives,” said Mike, who was working for a radio station in Madison, Wis., at that time. “It’s our love of music and the opera art form that is the main reason we are passionate about the Indianapolis Opera. I love all forms of music and all forms of creative expression.”

Kimann, an author, lyricist and illustrator, is the chair for Lobster Palooza. The Indianapolis Opera fundraiser is set for 6 to 10 p.m. July 15 at the Basile Opera Center, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis.

Kimann and Mike are Indianapolis Opera board members. Mike, an attorney with Parr Richey, is in his third one-year term as president. Kimann and Mike, who live in Lawrence Township in the Geist area, were co-chairs of the Opera Ball a few years ago.

Mike is a member of Invisible Ray, which will perform at Lobster Palooza, a New England-style lobster boil dinner.

“We are creative people,” Kimann said. “We write and we compose things. In the social world, if it’s arts-related, that’s what we love to do best. It’s not just about inspiring people to create themselves, whether artists or musicians, it’s about supporting those who do it.”

Kimann is a staunch proponent of the Indianapolis Opera’s residence artist program.

“It fosters new talent and fosters people who have this great courage and capability to take to the deep dive from doing any number of jobs that anybody can support themselves, and they are launching careers where they want to sing and do what we call music-storytelling opera to make their living,” Kimann said. “That’s a really cool thing. I’ve always said the arts are a bridge between man and mankind. I

think the arts have a way to bring diverse people together who are truly different. It elevates us and it inspires us.”

Kimann said the Basile Center is a mid-century building, which was once the home of the Greek Orthodox Church.

“It’s had a wonderful renovation done to it,” Kimann said. “It’s a cool mid-century structure. It’s situated in a beautiful neighborhood that I love. In years past, I drew homes for the Meridian-Kessler Home Tour.”

Kimann said the event is planned indoors, so rain isn’t a concern. Last year’s Lobster Palooza was planned outdoors in tents at Daniel’s Vineyard but had to move inside because of heavy rain.

“We have some outdoor access,” Kimann said. “We should have the best of both worlds.”

Kimann said Mike’s job keeps him from performing too often but said it’s one of his joys of life.

Mike, 54, has played with several bands through the years, starting in high school.

“I’m usually playing keyboards and singing,” Mike said. “It’s usually rock ‘n’ roll. I played in a country band somewhere down the line.”

The band, Invisible Ray, is headed by guitarist/vocalist Dan T. Hall, a filmmaker who has a video production company.

“To be involved in the entertainment for one of our fundraisers is going to be a fun time,” Mike said. “We’ll play danceable rock songs. We cover a lot of genres. I sing some songs from Dobie Gray and Marc Cohn and the Little River Band.”

MOVIE REVIEW

Teacher,”

“Good Boys”) shows off his quick wit and gift for awkward timing in “No Hard Feelings,” an edgy coming-of-age story despite a 13-year age difference between the main characters.

Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) is a local in the beautiful surfside community of Montauk, N.Y. She works as a bartender and Uber driver while chipping away at the thousands of dollars she owes in escalating property taxes. When her car is totaled, she risks losing her home and becomes desperate for a solution.

Enter wealthy helicopter parents (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) in need of their own solution to a hopeless situation. To prepare their introverted 19-year-old son for college life, they seek out a female who will casually date him, forcing him from his shell.

In a last-ditch effort to save her childhood home, Maddie accepts their offer to advance Percy’s development for the promised payout: A Buick Regal. She creates a sexpot image and secretly plans to “deflower” the Princeton-bound recluse.

The movie treads a risky storyline on the surface but delivers harmless scenarios where there’s no real romance between the characters. Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) is smarter than his parents give him credit for. He doesn’t fall for Maddie’s bombshell persona, which is more bark than bite, and has no real interest in losing his virginity. Yet the experiment boosts his confidence, leading to a confrontation with his parents and a significant change in his life choices.

“No Hard Feelings” is a semi-rom-com that works better than it should, shining a little tenderness into the prickly business of putting out.

Carmel Jazz Fest to feature city’s variety of venues

The Carmel Jazz Fest will feature a first for the city.

more knowledge from people who have done it year after year.”

Clark said CarmelFest organizers have been especially helpful. CarmelFest is run by the Rotary Club of Carmel.

MUSIC

During the Aug. 11-12 festival, all the main musical venues will be utilized at the same time, Carmel Jazz Fest executive director/chief executive director Blair Clark said.

“One of the great things is we have multiple venues that are different experiences for everyone,”

Clark said. “You have the Gazebo experience, the Palladium experience, where it’s a concert in a beautiful state-of-the-art facility. We’ve got Feinstein’s, where you can have a nice meal and it’s a cabaret-type of setting.”

In addition, there are outdoor concert spaces at Carter Green and indoor experiences at The Tarkington and Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Jeffrey McDermott, Center for the Performing Arts president and chief executive officer, is glad the Center venues are taking part in the festival.

Clark McDermott

“I think it’s wonderful we can be a part of it and that the City of Carmel has the infrastructure to make something like this happen between the three venues at the Center for the Performing Arts and all the other community spaces and Feinstein’s,” McDermott said.  McDermott said the Center focuses on rental opportunities for weddings and corporate functions during the summer because the average music patron likes to be outdoors.

“So, you have these six venues with various experiences all in close proximity with one another,” Clark said.

Along with music, there will be food and alcohol vendors.

Clark said partnering with the City of Carmel, the Center for the Performing and Feinstein’s at the Hotel Carmichael has been essential.

“It really does take a village to pull it off and make it successful,” Clark said. “We have to collaborate on so many different levels. That takes a lot of organization and cooperation. We were thankful for the sponsors we have.”

Clark said he has received advice and help from Indy Jazz Festival, the Elkhart Jazz Festival and CarmelFest.

“I know the music business, but I’ve never done an event of this size,” he said. “Since this is a big undertaking, there have been organizations that have been nice enough to lend their knowledge and help me and the people who are a part of this. We have a great board but there are always going to be things you need a little

“This is a great combination because there is an opportunity for the festival to secure some spaces through us for what they are offering and have our own performance with Spyro Gyra during the festival weekend,” McDermott said. “It’s a nice coordination of events and spaces where these spaces might not be available at different times of the year.”

Spyro Gyra will perform in a separate ticketed event at 8 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Palladium. The shows at The Tarkington and Studio Theater might expose new audience members to those venues as well.

“I always say, statistically, if someone comes to the Center for the Performing Arts once to see a show, there is an 80 percent chance they’ll come back,” McDermott said. “Any time we can bring in new people who haven’t experienced performances, educational events, celebrations, we’re likely exposing them to something they are going to enjoy in the future.”

Feinstein’s will have two separate ticketed jazz events during the Carmel Jazz Festival. They are Harry Allen with Rossano Sportiello Aug. 11 and Denise Thimes Aug. 12. For more, visit carmeljazzfest.org.

Belly up to the backyard bar

After having spent the last few years enhancing their personal outdoor living spaces, a new trend has emerged: Homeowners are now turning their attention to creating the grown-up version of a playhouse — a backyard bar.

REMODELING

Like most everything, they can be as simple or as elaborate as you may want. There are a few key elements that need to be incorporated, but they can be very simple. Stools, a countertop and a couple of shelves are the most basic elements you’ll need. How you place those elements is where the fun begins. If space is limited, you could place the countertop and stools next to the outside wall of your home. Installing an awning above the countertop could complete the ensemble. From there, you can add en-

No matter the level of embellishment, backyard bars allow you to invite a few friends over, serve up some cold beverages and keep a watchful eye on the kids. Even now, when it’s “safe” to get together indoors, your new backyard bar will be the place everyone gathers.

Visiting Denali National Park & Preserve

Commentary by Don Knebel

Today, on our continuing journey through Alaska, we visit Denali National Park & Preserve.

TRAVEL

In 1906, American conservationist Charles Sheldon initiated efforts to create a national park around then-Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, to protect the pure-white Dall sheep that lived at high elevations in the area. On Feb. 26, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation creating Mount McKinley National Park. In 1937, a 93-mile road paralleling the Alaska Range, most of it still unpaved today, was completed from the park’s entrance to about its center. In 2015, President Barack Obama renamed the mountain Denali, the name, meaning “high one,” given it by the indigenous Athabaskan people.

After several additions, the Denali National Park & Preserve now encompasses about 6 million acres, one fourth the size of Indiana. About 600,000 people visit each year to view the sparkling lakes and snow-capped mountains. Glaciers cover about one-sixth of the park’s areas. Runoff from the shrinking glaciers creates “braid-

ed rivers,” with their strands constantly changing. Large animals in the park include caribou, moose, grizzly bears, black bears and Dall sheep. Smaller animals include coyotes, foxes, wolves, beavers, porcupines and more. Private vehicles are allowed only on the first 15 miles of road, ending at Savage River. Tour buses, leaving from the informative visitors’ center, go further, with knowledgeable guides stopping whenever anyone spots an animal. Guides use hand signals to tell each other of animals ahead. In the winter, travel within the park is limited to dog sleds.

For anyone going to central Alaska, at least a day in Denali National Park & Preserve is a must. However, unless you intend to spend a long time, don’t go just for the opportunity to see Denali. Because of persistent clouds, visitors have only a 30 percent chance of sighting the 20,000-foottall mountain.

An explanation of alcohol idioms, on the house

Commentary by

Curtis Honeycutt

I haven’t been hitting the sauce much lately, nor have I been any number of sheets to the wind. Call me old-fashioned, but I find that the best way not to keep the giggle juice flowing is not to buy more Jameson once I scrape the bottom of the barrel. Although — for the record — two fingers of whiskey with a few squares of extremely dark chocolate (88 percent) is my idea of a perfect dessert once the kids are in bed.

exaggerate or embellish something. It can mean to produce or create something. Gin up can also mean stimulating something to be more productive. As you can tell, situational understanding of “gin up” is key, as we don’t want to look like a guy with a lampshade on his head at a party.

GRAMMAR GUY

Today, we’re going to raise a glass to drinking idioms to help understand the meaning behind the phrases. It’s a pub crawl of bubbly babble, lager lexicon and boozy buzzwords. Let’s knock back a few!

First, let’s gin up a definition for the term “gin up.” It has a few meanings depending on context. Gin up can mean to

Hamilton Circuit Court EXHIBIT “A”

Let’s visit an antiquated idiom that I particularly like. “All claret would be port if it could” is a term that mirrors the modern phrase “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” As port was viewed as superior in taste and quality compared to its cheaper cousin, claret, people at any stage in life can always find someone whose life seems better than theirs. After all, it was English lexicographer and writer Samuel Johnson who said, “Claret is the liquor for boys, port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy.”

It’s five o’clock somewhere, so it’s time to hit happy hour for a quick round of raucous potable proverbs. “Like old wine

If someone describes something as “clear as vodka,” they could either mean it is easy to understand, or they could be incorporating sarcasm to indicate the subject is actually unclear.
