The views of the columnists in Current in Carmel are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

The project, which would also include a parking garage, office space and 190 apartments, is estimated to cost $47 million and is contingent on the city receiving READI 2.0 grant funding from the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and a grant from Hamilton County Tourism. Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky told the council he is aiming for $10 million from the IEDC and $7 million from Hamilton County Tourism and that grant totals should be known by the third quarter of this year.

“Without the help of the external outside funding sources, this project is not going to happen,” Mestetsky said.

The rest of the project is set to be funded through an $8 million construction loan and $22 million in tax increment financing proceeds.

The two-story food hall, known as The Union, is proposed to include approximately eight vendors selling hot food and six vendors selling specialty items – such as olive oils or gourmet sodas — to attract visitors throughout the day. It will also include an entertainment stage and video screen, artificial turf, children’s area, social stairway and event space. Mestetsky described it as if “the Monon veered indoors

The event will support local veteran programs. Admission is free.

for a moment.”

“(We want to) create a place where people want to spend time whether they are hungry or not,” Mestetsky said. “That’s the difference between a food hall and a true civic space that benefits the entire city.” Mestetsky said The Union would provide an additional amenity in the city’s central core for community members and guests to visit during cold weather months. The city plans to partner with developer Pedcor, which already owns part of the site, on the project.

The state has $45 million to distribute to municipalities in central Indiana, Mestetsky said, adding that other IEDC funds could

also be allocated for the project. He acknowledged that many communities will be vying for the funds.

“This project is a completely unique thing and no one has proposed anything close to it,” Mestetsky said. “The hope is that the state sees the importance of a project like this and gives us as much money as possible.”

The food hall is proposed on the southern half of the former Monon Square retail center, which was demolished in late 2022 to make way for redevelopment. An unrelated mixed-use project on the northern half of Monon Square has already been approved by the city.

Assessing office move – The Clay Township assessing office is moving from its Carmel location in the Clay Township government building. Effective April 15, staff and operations will move to the Hamilton County assessor’s office on the second floor of the old courthouse at 33 N. 9th St. in Noblesville.

Neighbors detail impact of parties at rented residential pools

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Plan Commission held a public hearing April 16 on a proposal to limit the short-term rental of residential pools, pickleball courts and other non-dwelling spaces.

CITY NEWS

Carmel City Councilor Jeff Worrell is among those who initiated the changes after hearing concerns from constituents whose neighbors had rented outdoor spaces through online sites that operate like popular short-term home rental companies Airbnb and Vrbo.

“We’re getting these adult, loud, scantily-clad crazy parties going on in cul-desacs,” Worrell said.

Andrea Vanderpool, a resident of Springmill Ridge, said during the public hearing that her family is dealing with the impact of a residential pool at a neighboring property being rented out for up to four parties per day.

“I’m a mom of four daughters, and we have to look out our windows every day in the summer to decide if it’s OK for our girls to go color on our sidewalk or to go out in our driveway,” she said. “There’s a constant inflow of strangers, and this home has been turned into a place of business. Instead of a residential cul-de-sac, it’s become a commercial cul-de-sac.”

Springmill Ridge resident Susan Hansen said some of the parties are for sports teams competing in events at Grand Park in Westfield.

“It gets really loud,” she said. “You can imagine how big a soccer team and all their parents drinking after a game can be.”

Other concerns are a large number of vehicles frequently parked along both sides of the street, trash left behind and some-

times fireworks shot off by the visitors. Several years ago, Carmel created an approval process and guidelines for shortterm rentals of dwellings, and a similar process has been proposed for non-dwelling short-term rentals.

Proposed regulations include:

• Approval of a special exception permit to rent out the space

• Requiring the permanent resident to be on the property at all times during the rental period

• Requiring the permanent resident to have premises liability insurance of at least $1 million

• Limiting rental hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

• Limiting the group size gathering at the rented area to be no more than 10 people

Carmel City Councilor

Shannon Minnaar, who also serves on the plan commission, said she supports the proposal.

“I think having the right ordinance on the books, having the city be the big stick in this situation — especially for neighborhoods that don’t have the compunction to ratify covenants — is a great thing,” she said.

Neighborhoods with homeowners associations can ban short-term rentals in their covenants, but altering the covenants can be a lengthy and difficult process.

The plan commission sent the matter to its May 9 committee meeting for further discussion. The committee will vote on the proposal before sending it to the Carmel City Council for a final vote. The regulations are proposed as part of an amendment to the city’s Unified Development Ordinance. Learn more about the proposal at bit. ly/3Qam37c.

Hotel Carmichael exceeds projections, expansion discussed

CITY NEWS

Hotel Carmichael opened in mid-2020 as the result of a partnership between developer Pedcor Companies and the City of Carmel, but despite taxpayer investment in the $58 million project, its performance metrics were considered proprietary information and not shared with the public.

That changed at the April 15 Carmel City Council meeting when Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky joined Pedcor executives to present an update on the hotel’s occupancy rate, financial condition and future plans.

“Mayor (Sue) Finkam’s administration is all about transparency, and how the hotel has been doing has been a question in the voters’ minds, even though technically that data is not public,” Mestetsky said. “So, the best course of action is to have that open and transparent conversation, with the understanding that this isn’t normal, and this does cause some detriment to the hotel operation, because no other hotel is walking around blasting all their numbers to the public. But between transparency and this other value, transparency is going to trump the day.”

According to data presented by Laurie Siler, Pedcor senior vice president, despite opening during a global pandemic, the hotel outpaced the 2017 proforma projections of a stabilized occupancy rate of 77 percent within three years. The hotel had a nearly 81 percent occupancy rate in 2023 and opened 2024 near the same amount.

Hotel Carmichael revenue was 7.1 percent above the 2017 proforma projections within 18 months of opening, and in 2023 it was 48.7 percent above original projects at $16.4 million for the year. The hotel’s debt service payments and cash flow are also in good shape, Siler said, despite rising interest rates.

Pedcor President and CEO Bruce Cordingley said the hotel has achieved its goal of providing accommodations in Carmel for executives and professionals visiting the area on business who previously traveled to Indianapolis for a similar stay.

“We think we have accomplished that, and we think we’ve also caused the op-

posite to occur, which is people whose business and activities during the day are in Indianapolis are now coming to Hotel Carmichael, because that is the best location for them,” Cordingley said.

Hotel Carmichael has been so successful, Cordingley said, that Pedcor is looking to convert 33 luxury apartment suites planned in the adjacent Wren building currently under construction to be part of the hotel instead. He said Pedcor will not request additional public funds to expand the hotel but would welcome an expanded partnership if the city wants to be involved.

“We believe the incentive you have helped us create with the existing hotel Carmichael will enable us to help you and us expand it, making the existing hotel more efficient, having 155 rooms,” Cordingley said. “There are events, conventions and business meetings that the hotel is now turning down that we do not have capacity for. This will add to that capacity and create more business opportunities here in Carmel.”

When asked by City Councilor Matt Snyder if Pedcor would be willing to buy out the taxpayers’ portion of the project, Cordingley said he anticipates it will eventually happen.

“I’m not sure this is the right time. But at the right time, sure, we’d be very interested,” he said.

The city is set to receive 75 percent of the hotel cash flow for approximately a decade as part of a plan to repay more than $12 million the CRC covered when construction costs were significantly higher than the initial estimate. After the CRC has been repaid, it will become a 50/50 split.

Former middle school employee facing multiple criminal charges

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

A former Clay Middle School employee accused of stealing nearly $95,000 from the school in cash and unauthorized purchases is facing multiple criminal charges.

Hamilton County prosecutors on April 8 charged Aletta Nowlin of Carmel with corrupt business influence, official misconduct and 18 counts of theft of property between $50,000 and $750,000. She was being held in the Hamilton County Jail with bond set at $40,000 as of April 18.

Nowlin worked as an administrative assistant at Clay Middle School from July 2012 until her termination in 2021. She also served as the building treasurer.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit against Nowlin in November 2023 that stated she caused CMS to suffer a pecuniary loss of $205,002 between 2016 and 2021 through unauthorized credit card purchases, unaccounted funds, late fees and other costs. It repeatedly cited a State Board of Accounts investigation initiated after Carmel Clay Schools reported the missing funds in 2021.

According to the probable cause affidavit, CMS officials became aware of the missing funds in 2021 after being asked to run financial reports to explore the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial losses on the school’s athletic department funds. It states that Nowlin was “unable to explain or justify” errors and inaccuracies identified in the report.

The affidavit states that nearly $75,000 in cash was found to be missing from the Athletic Fund, Music Fund and Make-A-Wish Foundation Fund within the CMS Extracurricular Activities Account between April 10, 2019, and March 1, 2021. At the same time, nearly $20,000 in unauthorized purchases were made on a Sam’s Club credit card.

According to the affidavit, Nowlin told investigators that she used cash for personal gain rather than depositing it into the ECA account, and she admitted that she used the school’s Sam’s Club credit card for her own personal use “quite a bit” to buy groceries and items for her children.

Current reached out to Nowlin’s attorney for comment but did not receive a response.

Nowlin’s trial date is set for Aug. 13 in Hamilton County Superior Court 2.

Carmel bank robber sentenced

news@currentincarmel.com

Marty McConnell, 64, of Indianapolis has been sentenced to 11 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to bank robbery.

COURTS COURTS

Court documents state that on May 8, 2023, McConnell entered a Teachers Credit Union in Carmel, approached the bank teller and gave him a threatening note demanding all the money at his station. The teller gave the defendant $20,000 and he left the credit union.

Carmel Police Department officers quickly arrived and located McConnell. During an interview with police, McConnell admitted to committing the robbery and keeping most of the money in his car. He also stated that he used a portion of money from the robbery to get his car out of pawn, buy new shoes and buy drugs. Officers searched McConnell’s vehicle and found

$12,600 in cash and the clothing worn during the robbery.

Before robbing the Carmel Teachers Credit Union, McConnell was convicted of three armed robberies, six other robberies and three batteries over a 30-year span. He was most recently discharged from parole in November 2020, after his release from prison for a prior robbery spree.

“For three decades this violent criminal has terrorized innocent people, seeking quick money through force, violence and intimidation. His crime spree stops here,” stated Zachary A. Myers, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana.

The FBI investigated the case. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge James P. Hanlon, who also ordered that McConnell be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for three years following his release from federal prison and pay $20,000 in restitution.

Embracing Mini with a Meaning

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jacob Stelflug can’t physically run on his own, so his father, Brad Stelflug, makes certain he has that experience.

500 FESTIVAL

“He gets to experience the cheers and all the support from the crowd, the support from the other runners, the high-fives and the camaraderie,” said Brad, whose family lived in Westfield for 26 years before moving to Noblesville in 2020.

Brad will push Jacob, 27, as part of the Ainsley’s Angels Indiana team in the 500 Festival One America Mini-Marathon May 4 in Indianapolis. The Mini with a Meaning connects nonprofits with passionate participants of the Mini-Marathon and Delta 500 Festival Dental 5K to raise awareness and funds.

“The Mini with a Meaning program allows us as a nonprofit to use our team as a platform for the needs we have throughout the years,” said Kristy High, a North Central Indiana ambassador for Ainsley’s Angels and senior ambassador director for Ainsley’s Angels of America.

Jacob has FG syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes physical and mental delays. Nathan Stelflug, a 25-year-old former Westfield High School track and cross country runner, pushed his brother, Jacob, in the Boston Marathon April 15.

Brad said the Mini-Marathon embraces inclusivity and allows many duo teams to compete. The number of duo competitors is limited to 10 at the Boston Marathon.

Stelflug pushes his

CHS grad accomplishes dream

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

Sara Farny’s interest in running started small — a 5K here and there — but soon after she gave birth to her second son about 12 years ago, it became an important stress outlet — and one that didn’t require a lot of planning.

MARATHON

Farny, a Fishers resident and 2000 Carmel High School graduate, said she also found a community through running.

“I was a member of the Fishers (YMCA) and they had a running group there and I found my people,” she said. “So, initially it was just to get out of the house and have a little bit of mommy time. But then the community drew me in for more.”

That “more” eventually led her to qualify for and compete in the April 15 Boston Marathon. She completed the race in three hours, 49 minutes and 24 seconds, placing 14,133 out of the approximately 25,000 runners. For her age category — 40 to 44 — she placed 876th.

Farny, 41, said there were a couple challenges that she couldn’t really train for ahead of the big race: heat and hills. The temperature in Boston got up to about 70

on the day of the race, and she hadn’t run in warm weather for many months. And then there’s the terrain, which is very different from the flatlands of central Indiana.

“I ran a lot around Geist — the hills of Geist through the neighborhoods around Geist — and they do help,” she said.

In Boston, Farny said she had to walk up some of the hills, rather than run, and the spectators helped encourage her to continue.

“I’ve always heard about Boston crowds, and they truly did not disappoint,” she said. “You weren’t ever alone on the course because of the amount of people just cheering for everybody. They really helped push you through.”

Who put me in charge?

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

Since launching the We Can Do Better civility project in Carmel, the enthusiasm and support from every corner of our community has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s clear that fostering a culture of respect and understanding is something that resonates deeply with many of us.

CIVILITY

However, an unexpected question has been popping up from various public officials and community members: “Who appointed you as the leader of this civility movement?” Initially, this took me aback. I wondered if this was a challenge to the project’s legitimacy or simply curiosity. After all, promoting civility seemed like an unequivocally positive endeavor.

Reflecting on my motivations, I remembered the discomfort I felt during my last political campaign, witnessing the stark incivility among candidates, political action committees and commentators. Around the same time, I was struck by the subtitle of the book, “The Soul of Civility,” which prom-

ised “Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves” by Alexandra Hudson.

The notion of healing society and how to do it motivated me to treat this just like if I was solving a street parking problem or planning CarmelFest: bring people together who believe in a common goal.

Now, after three community meetings — two in Carmel and one in Fishers — I’m more convinced than ever that this initiative can foster significant positive change. The project’s growth and the increasing number of participants make me optimistic about its future.

In truth, no one specifically asked me to lead this charge. It was more a matter of seeing a need and feeling compelled to act. “Send me in, coach,” I thought to myself, eager to make a difference and get off the sidelines.

Wisdom Builders homeschool co-op seeks building

By Tirzah Rowland news@currentincarmel.com

Wisdom Builders, a homeschool co-op serving 460 children and their families in central Indiana, is experiencing growth beyond capacity and planning for a larger facility. As a result, the faithbased co-op is forced to turn away hundreds of families each year because of space limitations.

EDUCATION

Donna Rollins, a former public school teacher and homeschool mom, founded Wisdom Builders in 2003. Her passion for homeschooling stems from her own experience and the difference she has seen in Wisdom Builders families.

“The goal of homeschooling is for the child to really learn and retain the knowledge along with understanding how to use that learning and knowledge,” Rollins said. She added that families appreciate more time together and the freedom to integrate Christian values into learning.

The pandemic-fueled growth in homeschooling contributed to the increased capacity issues.

“More people liked the idea of being home with their kids and being able to teach to their grade level and to where they’re at and things that they are interested in doing,” said Cori Kusch, a Fishers resident with three children in the program.

The co-op, which meets at Trinity Baptist Church at 1010 E. 126th St. in Carmel on Mondays and Tuesdays, offers 75 tutors providing more than 300 classes for grades K

through 12.

“It’s been great for our kids to be able to take some courses like lab science or foreign languages with other kids but keep the flexibility and other benefits of homeschooling,” said Cathy Kennedy, a Carmel resident with five children in Wisdom Builders.

When she set out to find a bigger facility for the upcoming school year, Rollins started planning for a more permanent solution.

“We have been at capacity for many years. This led us to start HOPE, Inc. (Home for Parent Directed Edification). Our goal is to find a building to rent, rent to own, or to buy so we can accommodate more children,” Rollins said.

According to its website, the HOPE Ministry Center is planned to “be a place where families can come together to support one another by offering classes and opportunities for Christian instruction, growth and development.”

Organizers also want to make the new facility available to other co-ops and the greater community.

“We could easily double, and I think even triple in size, if we had a dedicated facility,” Rollins said.

While Wisdom Builders provides teaching support to homeschool families, it would like to expand to offer sports, theater and other extracurricular activities that its current space won’t allow.

“The HOPE center will allow more collaboration for homeschool families and organizations. There is always a need for clubs, sports and such to have a place to meet or hold an event. Creating a space to do this will be a huge asset to all the surrounding communities,” said Amy Tenney, a Sheridan resident with four kids in the co-op.

To expand and procure a bigger space, Wisdom Builders has started fundraising.

During April, Crew Car Wash will donate 50 percent of proceeds to HOPE from every wash purchased through crewcarwash.com/fundraisers/ home-of-parent-directed-edification-h-o-p-e.

Wisdom Builders will meet at Grace Church in Noblesville starting in the 2024-2025 school year.

Checkmate: CHS club wins title

By Ken Severson news@currentincarmel.com

Chess is the ultimate abstract strategy game — one that has been around for thousands of years and been studied, scrutinized, even written about in books and a musical.

It’s a game that’s played to win — something the Carmel High School Chess Club has been pretty good at lately.

The Carmel Chess Club “A Team” recently recorded its second consecutive first place finish with the “B Team” tying for second place in the state championship.

Additionally, the Carmel Chess Club also took a record six teams to the competition.

Last year, the Carmel Chess Club A Team won, while the B Team was ninth.

Not bad for a team that originally didn’t have enough players to send a team to state.

“It is great to see the growth of chess in the Carmel community,” said Yash Bhargava, a CHS senior and member of the Carmel Chess Club. “I started playing chess in 2017 and was playing in community events. But then COVID hit, which killed the community aspect of the game.”

The Carmel Chess Club has been rapidly growing in the past two years. It was only two years ago the school didn’t have enough players to send a team to the state championship.

Bhargava was part of this year’s championship along with fellow senior Owen Mei and sophomores Timothy Lim and Kevin Cao. Meetings are Sundays from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at CCPL. All ages and skill levels are welcome.

Spiritual significance of eclipse

Commentary by JR Sandadi

HINDUISM

As the recent solar eclipse graced the sky April 8, we gathered eagerly in our backyard, blessed with perfect weather and a clear view. The anticipation was palpable as the celestial dance began. Our excitement peaked as the mesmerizing spectacle unfolded, with the moon gradually obscuring the radiant face of the sun with the partial solar eclipse starting around 1:56 p.m. In that moment, we felt connected to ancient wisdom and profound symbolism, reminded of the eternal interplay of cosmic forces and the intricate interconnectedness of all life.

As totality time of 3:06 p.m. approached, anticipation surged in Carmel. When the moment arrived, it was unforgettable. Though fleeting, lasting only 3 minutes and 36 seconds, it felt timeless.

In the realm of Hindu Dharma, eclipses aren’t just celestial events; they’re profound moments pulsating with spiritual depth. They symbolize the cosmic alignment of celestial forces, beckoning us to pause, reflect and delve into the mysteries

of existence. For Hindus, eclipses like this are sacred moments woven with spiritual teachings. Known as “Surya Grahan” in Sanskrit, the solar eclipse symbolizes the cosmic dance of the divine, where the luminous sun momentarily veils itself, inviting the shadows of the earthly realm to dance upon its surface.

As the celestial spectacle fades, its spiritual teachings linger, reminding us of our place within the cosmic symphony and the timeless wisdom embedded in the dance of the heavens.

CHS alum to enter Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Lisa Williams Burgess was humbled simply to be nominated for the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

BASKETBALL

“I didn’t really expect to be inducted,” Burgess said. “There are so many incredible athletes in my era. There were so many good players before and after me. I’m honored to think my high school career stood the test of time in Indiana.”

then-Carmel coach Judi Warren led Warsaw to the first IHSAA state girls basketball state title in 1976.

Burgess also was second-team all-state in volleyball in 1994 and a four-time state qualifier in the 1,600-meter relay and three-time state finalist in the 800 meters in track and field. Burgess had 11 varsity letters.

“I feel fortunate that in Carmel I was around a lot of great athletes,” Burgess said. “I played club soccer for a while. I was around a lot of kids that were driven.”

Basketball was her main love.

The 1995 Carmel High School graduate will be inducted April 27 into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame at the Women’s Awards Dinner at Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis. The 5-foot-11 Burgess, whose maiden name is Williams, led the Greyhounds to an IHSAA state runner-up finish as a senior.

“All four years we had a special team,” Burgess said. “We lost some talented basketball players in 1995. But we kept finding ways to win, that made it really special.”

Burgess said it also was special because

“I’ve loved basketball since I was tiny,” Burgess said. “I liked volleyball a lot but the physicality of the basketball is what I liked the most.”

Burgess scored nearly 1,100 points for the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team. She said she had a good career, but the team struggled to succeed in the SEC.

Burgess is a relationship manager for Comerica in Columbia, S.C. Her two daughters, Courtney, 16, and Emily, 14, are top volleyball players.

Guerin Catholic senior basketball player follows dad’s D-I path

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Guerin Catholic High School senior Dylan Murans knows where he got his drive to succeed.

“Mostly (from) my dad.

Knowing that he has played basketball at the Division I level really pushes me to be the best that I can, and obviously the love for the sport that’s never ending,” Murans said. Murans’ father, Paul, played under coach Steve Alford at Missouri State University, which was then Southwest Missouri State University. Murans will achieve his dream to play at the Division I level for Army next season.

“West Point will be a great fit for him because he is very willing to put in the work and he responds very well to instruction and practice,” Guerin Catholic coach Bobby Allen said. “He wants to learn and improve every day, and I think that is what makes him so special. Obviously, he loves basketball and he is a great talent on the court,

but he is also a great person and he has an incredible future ahead of him.”

The 6-foot-7 Murans transferred to Guerin from Carmel High School before his junior season. He averaged eight points per game as a junior. He then averaged 10.1 points while making 50 percent of his shots this past season. He raised his rebounding average from 2.7 per game to 3.0 as a senior.

“He was an immediate starter for us and

he learned on the fly,” Allen said. “He is an incredible athlete that has the ability to make plays around the rim that many high school kids are not capable of doing. Every game, he seemed to get more aggressive, especially on the offensive glass. The first time we played Brebeuf, he had two put-

back dunks that I think put everyone on notice.”

Allen said Murans leads with his action and emotion.

“He is a big-time playmaker and has the ability to get the entire team going by his playmaking ability,” Allen said. “His ability to play above the rim but also knock down perimeter shots make him a complete player, and as he develops more, I think he is going to have a huge impact on his team at West Point.”

Murans made 33 percent of his 3-point shots as a senior.

“I’d say most of my improvement throughout the years has been staying under control, and defense,” Murans said.

The Carmel resident said he chose Army because of the coaching staff.

“I had not met a single coach during recruitment that had wanted me as much as Coach (Kevin) Kuwik,” he said. “I had received a letter from him every single day since the beginning of his interest in me. This made our family decide to go out and give it a shot during my visit, and it completely blew me away. That exact point had sold me on just about everything.”

Carmel teen wins national Drive, Chip and Putt competition

By Ken Severson news@currentincarmel.com

PGA Tour pro Scottie Scheffler wasn’t the only big winner recently at Augusta National Golf Club.

ACHIEVEMENT

Carmel’s Karis Reid won the championship for the Girls’ 12-13 age division in the annual Drive, Chip and Putt at the famed course in Augusta, Ga., April 7, a week before Scheffler, one of Reid’s favorite golfers, won his second Masters.

“It was a truly special weekend that I will never forget,” Reid said. “Augusta National is the most beautiful course I have ever seen in person. I loved being able to putt on the 18th green, especially knowing that all of the greats have putt there before me.”

Reid, 13, a seventh-grader at Clay Middle School, represented the Great Lakes region and was one of 10 golfers in her division.

Like the NFL’s Punt, Pass and Kick competition where football fundamentals are the linchpin, Drive, Chip and Putt was founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, the United States Golf Association

down.

“To play in front of hundreds of people and several live television cameras was a little nerve racking,” Reid said. “But I reminded myself I was playing for an audience of one, Jesus Christ, and that settled my heart.”

Reid won the drive and chip portion of the competition and took fourth place in putting to accumulate 27 points to outdistance her nearest rivals, Gayatri Arora of Charlotte, N.C., and NiuNiu Zhao of Woodin-

ville, Wash., who each had 19.

Reid has been golfing since she was 6 years old and started competing a year later. Her dad, former two-time state champion golfing coach at Carmel, was a big influence on her, as well as golf pro Brad Fellers.

“(Dad) is the one that taught me and inspired me to be the golfer I am today. We still play together all the time,” Reid said.

Reid qualified in the top three at Plum Creek Golf Club in Carmel, then advanced to the subregional at the Golf Club of Indiana in Whitestown, where she was in the top two, and then won the regional title at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.

FINDING HIS GROOVE

Carmel High School senior discovers audience for custom-built guitars

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Carmel High School senior Charlie Banks is turning his love for music into a creative entrepreneurial endeavor.

Banks, 18, has been playing guitar for five years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he began designing and building guitars for himself, friends and, most recently, businesses.

“Music has always been a big part of my life,” Banks said. “All my siblings and I are named after music-related things, so it greatly influences who I am.”

Banks, who is named after his grandfather but nicknamed from the Grateful Dead song “Cosmic Charlie,” recently designed a guitar for his workplace, Bier Brewery, which has locations in Carmel, Noblesville and Indianapolis. He said it was the first guitar he made for a business.

“Jerry Connor, co-founder of Bier Brewery, caught wind that I play and design guitars, and he asked to see my work,” Banks said. “He offered me money to build a guitar for Bier Brewery, and that was the first commission I have made from making guitars.”

Connor said he plans to display the guitar at the Carmel location at 13730 N. Meridian St.

“(Charlie) showed me some of the other guitars he has made, and he worked on the guitar (for Bier Brewery) all last year,” Connor said. “When he brought it over, he played for the customers one night; he christened it. He is a really good human being.”

As a kid, Banks said he always had an “intrinsic and creative mind” when it came to art and building projects with legos and clay. Once he got to high school and began taking industrial arts classes, he became interested in woodworking.

“I got my big introduction to woodworking around the same time I started taking playing the guitar seriously,” Banks said. Banks got his first guitar in 2020 and said he taught himself basic chords while also taking classes at Carmel Music Academy.

“Guitar and wanting to build stuff with my hands just went hand in hand. I naturally gravitated toward wanting to build

them,” Banks said. Banks started by painting designs across his first guitar but was too nervous to take the guitar body apart.

“I remember being so scared of messing it up,” Banks said. “That was the first modification I ever made to a guitar, and it just kind of took off from there. After that, I started cutting off the body and messing with electronics and stuff. And then soon after that, I started making guitars from scratch.”

The senior began using the woodworking skills and knowledge he gained from YouTube to build and design guitars. He also visited the Gibson Garage in Nashville, Tenn., a store that sells guitars and guitar parts, to learn more about what goes into the building process.

“I did a lot of research, but I didn’t see it as research,” Banks said. “I enjoyed watching videos and tutorials on YouTube and learning through the internet. I also visited the Gibson Garage and asked an employee how they put their guitars together and was so fascinated by the process. I eventually just started trying it by myself.”

The building and design process always begins with an “idea or daydream,” according to Banks.

“I try to add a unique feature to each one.” Banks said. “I daydream it, sketch it out and then after that, it’s pretty easy to transfer all those measurements to a piece of wood, cut it out and make it nice and pretty.”

Banks will be a student at Ivy Tech in the fall.

“The main thing I want to study is business, and I am thinking about taking more woodworking classes in college, too,” Banks said. “I think I have a decent amount of woodworking knowledge, but I just need to learn the business side of things. Then, hopefully, I’ll keep up woodworking and building guitars as a little hobby throughout college. Once I have graduated college, hopefully, I’ll start my own business making guitars or making furniture.”

Banks also hopes to make more guitars for other businesses in the future and says his biggest inspirations come from musical artists and his parents.

“A good amount of my inspiration comes from my parents,” Banks said. “That’s where my creative side comes from.”

Gym offers sensory-safe play

By Samantha Kupiainen news@currentincarmel.com

We Rock The Spectrum Carmel, a gym designed for children with autism and special needs, opened April 6, less than a year since its owners learned about the business and franchise opportunities.

The kid-centered gym has more than 70 locations across the nation and affords children a space for sensory-safe play. The Carmel gym is run by mother-daughter duo Jane Lowe and Sarah McCorkle. The idea to open their own franchise sparked in July 2023 after the two struggled to find programming for Sarah’s son, Korben, 6, who is autistic and nonverbal.

“I couldn’t find anything,” said Lowe, co-owner of We Rock The Spectrum Carmel. “So, I thought, we need to find a business that we can do together.”

By September 2023 the two became franchise owners. They signed the lease on their building at 13644 N. Meridian St. in October 2023.

Like all other franchise locations, We Rock The Spectrum Carmel has 12 pieces of NOW OPEN

equipment designed for the sensory processing issues children on the spectrum face. The gym has suspended equipment with swings to help with balance and vestibular treatment; crash mats and crash pillows for fun, motor planning and strength; a zip slider for stress release and joint and body relaxation; a trampoline for building leg and core strength; an indoor play structure for climbing and increasing playground skills; and sensory-based toys and equipment for improved auditory processing and fine motor skills.

Tre nears opening at 1st on Main

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Chris Evans is eager to see how the public responds to his latest Italian restaurant. Tre will open at 1st on Main in Carmel later this month.

The name Tre comes from the Italian word for three, as this is the third restaurant for Evans.

Sangiovese opened in Rivers Edge in Indianapolis in 1994, moving to the Ironworks building in 2015. A second restaurant opened in Fishers in 2020.

“I think it’s going to be a home run, not just for us but for the city itself,” said Evans, who owns two Sangiovese restaurants. “It’s a really vibrant corner. What they’ve pulled off here with (1st on Main) is phenomenal.”

Evans originally expected to open in February but has been delayed two months with construction and supply chain issues. The Carmel resident said the restaurant is almost ready to open and that he is finalizing a few things with the menu and staff.

All of his restaurants have different designs. Tre will feature an art series from renowned artist Jason Myers from Logansport called “La Vita,” which means “the life.”

NOW OPEN FOOD

“It’s a different menu, still Italian, but presented differently,” Evans said. “We have a higher-end wine list, which is more extensive with vintage and varietals.”

Francesco Settanni is the director of operations. Oscar Perez will be the executive chef.

Evans and Perez worked together at Ambrosia more than 25 years ago.

“We have caviar we are doing things with,” Evans said. “We have grilled prawns, a split bone-in ribeye which we’ll serve steak alla Fiorentina style, where we marinate the style with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. There is a risotto carbonara. There will be a fun octopus dish.”

Allerbi aims for outdoor feel

By Samantha Kupiainen news@currentincarmel.com

An avid bicyclist, Carmel resident Paul Huang was frustrated that Indiana winters don’t always allow for riding outdoors. So, he engineered an indoor bike — called Allerbi — that makes him feel like he’s riding outside from the comfort of his basement.

Huang started working on Allerbi in November 2019 and quickly realized he’d have to leave his full-time job in engineering if he wanted his bike to hit the sales floor. So, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, Huang went all-in with Allerbi. Four years later, he plans for his latest model, Allerbi Upright, to hit the market in late spring or early summer.

Some of Allerbi’s features include resistance designed to make riders feel like they’re outside. Allerbi’s resistance can match road slope and wind speed for whatever route the rider selects. The overall goal is to mirror a realistic and immersive outdoor riding experience.

The bike also has real-time, two-way interaction. The road responds instantly to pedaling, and the road movement speed

changes as pedaling speed changes. The rider feels all the resistance changes, further adding to the immersive experience.

Allerbi Upright has dual displays, with the main screen projecting on the user’s television.

For now, Allerbi is only available online. In the future, Huang wants to sell it at retailers. For now, Huang said it’s hard to believe that the bike he’s been working on for four years is finally launching.

“It feels pretty complicated,” Huang said. “I’m really excited that the product is at this stage, and we know it’s good and we love it and we’re confident.”

Allerbi is available online at allerbi.com for $2,395.

Future becomes past

Commentary by Terry Anker

Someone once said that regret is the desire for a better past. They may be right. Still, what is accomplished in pining for a time that never was, a life that wasn’t lived? As we move on in this world, time strips us of our future. One moment we peer at life in the far distance and in the very next instant, the present blasts by us in a blur, leaving only miles of past behind us. For some, we are grasping the wheel, busy keeping our lives in our own lane enroute to our hoped-for destinations. We are seeking a family, career, adventure or fame. Perhaps we hope for them all. Others see very little on the road ahead and only desire a route back to that which came before. But on this boulevard, there is no offramp. We drive until the route’s end. If all goes well, we will see the sights, have a bit of fun and share the trip along the way. There is no do-over. It could be

ESSAY

that regret is acknowledgement of the irreversibility of the past. What is done cannot be undone. Still, if there are miles ahead of us, why can’t we use the time that we have to build a new past? If our decisions today become our past tomorrow, what choices would we make if we truly desired one filled with as much joy as imagined possible?

Isn’t it remorse that adds a bitter taste to the flavor of regret, and if so, why do we dwell on what we did yesterday instead of what we can do today? If it’s unrepentant remorse that spawns regret, can we atone and set a course that delivers a personal history not so regrettable? The only constant is change. Future becomes past.

Is it the weekend yet?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Friends, this week has been a chore. And not a fulfilling chore like mowing the lawn or scrubbing a disgusting bathroom ‘til it shines pretty. Work was boring, my commute to work doubled and the realization that there are still six more weeks until summer hit hard. Blech.

HUMOR

Occasionally, we schedule movies in our history classes to give teachers time to grade papers. We’ve been studying Vietnam and are heading into the Nixon administration, so we showed “The Post.” Normally, I can crank out essays and tests while keeping one eye on the film. But this year, for four periods in a row, I was consistently drawn into the political drama. Curse you, Meryl Streep, for being so compelling! Anyhoo, I accomplished nothing, which really made the week drag.

And since moving into our oldest’s new house in Indy, my commute went from 12 minutes to 30. I don’t know the roads yet, and every morning Google Maps sends me a different route. I also was forced to drive our youngest’s piece of poo Civic, with no adjustable mirrors or radio and a driver’s side door that won’t stay open. Getting to school, especially when it monsooned, was not the peaceful experience I’ve come to

appreciate.

Finally, my last complaint about inane problems that aren’t actually problems is that our school year doesn’t end until June 3. Meaning I have to come back after Memorial Day and then again after the following weekend. Of course, I’ve known this for a while, but it dawned on me recently that I’m still a good way from summer nirvana. Double blech.

So, yeah, the week was a chore. Peace out.

Barriers to health care aren’t always apparent. Depression and other mental illnesses can impact every aspect of an individual’s life and the lives of those around them. Fortunately, this young woman found the courage to challenge the stigma around mental health that many face, and her journey is now inspiring others.

I was wrapping up my visit to my local car dealership, but I was having a great deal of trouble deciding. There were so many choices available. What to do?

“I need help making a final decision,” I told the general manager. “This is much harder than it used to be.”

He rattled off a list of his recommended models.

“Wait, I’m not buying a new car,” I said. “I’m waiting for an oil change. I’m talking about your new coffee machine. I’ve never seen anything so complicated in my entire life.”

Years ago, while waiting for a $19.95 oil change, I could treat myself to a newly brewed hot cup of coffee that I poured out of a Pyrex coffee pot. There were no options, no add-ons, no goofy ingredients. If I wanted cream and sugar, there it was. How much I wanted of each was my choice. Life was sweet, like how I wanted my coffee to be.

This new machine baffled me. Despite its relatively small size, it provided a sultan’s harem of choices. But first, it offered a few introductory remarks rolling across the high-tech screen: “Whoever tastes this coffee will be happy every time and everywhere.”

I doubt that would be true for someone who came in for an oil change and then was told they needed a new $6,000 transmission. A good cup of java can only do so much to cheer you up.

Here is another of their screen testimonials: “Perfecting who we are is a never-ending story.”

But I do want the story to end because now I have too many choices — 32 to be exact. Here are some of the options they offer:

Espresso Long: But there was no espresso short or medium offered. This is

“Wait, I’m not buying a new car. I’m waiting for an oil change. I’m talking about your new coffee machine. I’ve never seen anything so complicated in my entire life.”

what happens to me when I buy pants.

Flat White: I hesitated to try something I had just used to paint my living room.

Dirty Chai: I would never call anyone that, not even coffee. There was also Filthy Chai, which seems even more rude.

Premium Instant: Isn’t all coffee pretty instant at a machine? That’s why I’m not waiting in line at Starbucks.

Another option was “hot water.” Like every other selection, it was complimentary. So, the hot water at this dealership is four bucks cheaper than plain hot water at Starbucks.

There were also nitros, listos, lattes and cappuccinos, but I could not find “coffee.”

Regular, plain, boring COFFEE. It was still early morning, and I was getting a bit drowsy, so I probably missed seeing it. I simply pressed something called cortado, having no idea what it was. When the brew cooled a bit, I chugged it and headed home. But halfway there, I started to get sleepy and had to pull over.

I need to find another auto dealership. One offering coffee that gets better mileage.

Actors Theatre of Indiana brings Broadway musical parody

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

For Billy Kimmel, the best description of “Forbidden Broadway” is, it’s the musical version of “Saturday Night Live.”

Kimmel will act and direct Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of “Forbidden Broadway,” which runs April 26 to May 12 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The show is a revue with a parody of different Broadway musicals.

Kimmel was on the “Forbidden Broadway” tour for approximately 11 years — through five different versions of it.

Kimmel is joined in the four-person cast by ATI Artistic Director Judy Fitzgerald, ATI co-founder Cynthia Collins and Kieran Danaan. Brent Marty will provide the musical accompaniment.

“The show always has four actors, who are singers and dancers,” Kimmel said.

More than 20 shows are represented in 90 minutes.

“So, it’s pretty brisk,” said Kimmel, who is based in New York City.

The biggest challenges are the 10-second costume changes.

“It’s an aerobic workout, too, because it’s like being shot out of a cannon,” Kimmel said.

This is the seventh time Kimmel has directed with ATI, including previous versions of “Forbidden Broadway.”

The last time he directed “Forbidden Broadway” with ATI was in 2019.

“This show has been going on for 40 years off-Broadway and it’s become sort of an institution to the Broadway community and theater lovers,” Kimmel said. “People come to see shows in New York and make room to see if there is an edition playing to see it. Now, it’s a rite of passage for people that become Broadway stars. If you’re lampooned (in the show), then you’ve made it, so to speak.”

Kimmel said every few years, American playwright Gerald Alessandrini would do

an edition and it would run for a year or two. Then Alessandrini took a break to write “Spamilton: An American Parody” in 2014. Kimmel said Alessandrini wrote a new edition in 2019, but it wasn’t out long because of the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down theater shows in March 2020.

“The show is going to make its Broadway debut this summer, which is a huge deal because it’s always been off-Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s writing a whole new show for it, and they are going to have past stars in it. They’re going to come in and do cameos.”

Kimmel said there are numbers that are always in the show, such as “The Lion King” and “Les Misérables.”

“We keep them because they are crowd pleasers and they’re sort of the pillars of the show,” Kimmel said. “In between, we’ve changed things out and freshened it up if there is something new on Broadway and it’s more relevant. It’s hard to do Carol Channing anymore because people under 50 don’t really know her anymore.”

One spoof is on “Annie,” which opened on Broadway in 1977.

“The spoof is ‘Annie is now a granny,’”

Kimmel said. “One of the newer ones is ‘Mary Poppins.’ There is a Mary Martin and Ethel Merman bit that we’ve never done.”

Although the show is a parody with some biting jokes, Kimmel said it’s lighthearted fun.

“(Alessandrini) never wanted people to think we hated Broadway. We’re lampooning it because we adore Broadway,” Kimmel said. “He’s a brilliant parody lyricist.” Danaan, a 29-year-old New York City resident, has never performed in “Forbidden Broadway” but he recalled hearing the numbers for the first time when he was around 10 years old. He said the costume changes are difficult, but the hardest part for him is learning all the words.

“It’s costumes on top of costumes,” Danaan said. “It’s all songs we know the Broadway lyrics to, but it’s relearning the songs with the ‘Forbidden Broadway’ lyrics. You only have time to think about what you are doing and then you move on to the next thing. It’s exhausting but it’s so much fun.”

His favorite number is his solo spoofing “Memories” from “Cats.”

CCP to host ‘The Dinner Party’

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Center’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office at the Palladium, call 317.843.3800 or visit atistage.org.

PLAY

Tonya Rave has a personal attachment to “The Dinner Party.” The Lawrence resident acted in the production at Center Stage in Lebanon approximately 10 years ago under the direction of Will Pullins, who died in 2018.

“I enjoyed this Neil Simon play because it’s not as wellknown as others that are typically done in community theater, and also to honor that director,” Rave said.

Rave is the co-director of Carmel Community Players’ production of “The Dinner Party ‘’ with her friend Matt Trgovac. The performances run from April 26 to May 5 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel. The story involves three divorced couples at the same dinner party.

Rave said she worked with Trgovac on another CCP production and decided they wanted to direct together because they have complementary styles.

“It (has) good comedic and dramatic elements to it, so I like a blend of the two,”

“I label it as a poignant comedy,” Trgovac said.

“I prefer to do plays that have a certain message.” Carmel resident Jason Creighton plays Andre.

“It’s a character I don’t get cast in much,” Creighton said. “He’s never comical, even though this is a comedy. He’s a womanizer and business owner, very upper crust. Most of his comedy is sarcasm at the expense of others, so just carrying myself that way and having that air about me is fun to do.”

Indianapolis resident Grant Bowen, plays an aspiring writer named Claude.

“What I love about this show is it’s such a beautiful yet sad story,” Bowen said. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

NIGHT & DAY ATI season features legends, laughter and love

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Actors Theatre of Indiana will rely on a tried-and-true formula for its 202425 season.

SCHEDULE

“When we were designing the season, it was important to us to do what we do best and what our audiences love most — and that is fun, funny, uplifting musicals,” Associate Artistic Director Darrin Murrell said.

Murrell said. A third is a smaller, newer musical with a mystery.

The last type of show is the large-scale Broadway show that has been scaled down to uniquely fit in the Studio Theater space, Murrell said.

Murrell said the season is dubbed legends, laughter and love.

“We also honed in on four types of shows that ATI has historically done incredibly successfully and has gotten a lot of audience feedback,” Murrell said. “One of those is the jukebox musical, sort of the soundtrack of our lives, so there is one of those in the mix.”

Another type is the Broadway classics reinvented for the Studio Theater stage,

The 2024-25 season begins with “Ring of Fire” from Sept 13-29, featuring the music of the legendary Johnny Cash. That will be followed by “She Loves Me” Nov. 1-17. The 2025 portion includes “Whodunit” Jan. 31 to Feb. 16, 2025, and “9 to 5: The Musical” April 25 to May 11.

“Ring of Fire” will include different actors portraying Cash at different times in his life.

“She Loves Me” started on Broadway in 1963 and was revived in 2016.

“Whodunit” is a murder mystery by longtime Broadway actor and playwright Ed Dixon.

Dolly Parton composed the music for “9 to 5: The Musical,” based on the 1980 movie. For more, visit atistage.org.

IWS celebrates spring

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

As Charles Conrad conducts his penultimate concert as the Indiana Wind Symphony music director, it’s fitting that a new piece of music pays homage to his legacy.

Purdue University All-American Marching Band. Conrad is retiring after this season and Gephart will inherit Conrad’s role.

“There is a piece in honor of the fact that I founded the Wind Symphony 27 years ago and the composer David Sartor is going to be conducting,” Conrad said. “We’ve played several of his works and we got a chance to premiere a couple of them.”

The piece called “Vision” by Sartor, from Nashville, Tenn., will premiere in “Springtime Celebration” at 6:30 p.m. April 28 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It’s got a mixture of different styles and different textures,” Conrad said of the program.

Conrad is conducting eight pieces while Jay Gephart, who takes over as music director for the 2024-25 season, will conduct three pieces. Gephart is the director of the

Conrad said composer Mark Wolfram will be in the audience for his piece “Vertical Planes,” which will feature solos by Larry Purdue, French horn; Brian Hoover, trumpet; Mike Villano, trombone; and Bill Schmidt, tuba.

The IWS concert opens with Frank Panella’s “The Polar Sun” from 1908. It also plays a German march, “The Sun Eagle.”

Conrad said the pieces were played by IWS April 8 during the City of Carmel Solar Eclipse program.

Two 1924 marches by John Philip Sousa are in the first half of the concert. They are “Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company” and “Marquette University March.”

Other pieces include “Rain Softly on Me” by Julie Giroux and one by French composer Lili Boulanger.

The IWS will close its season May 19 with “Finales and Fanfare.”

Visiting Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple

Commentary by Don Knebel

In our ongoing tour of Egypt, we continue our stay in and around Luxor, visiting the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, Egypt’s female pharaoh. Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. After a brief stint as regent for a young male pharaoh, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh in 1479 B.C. During her reign, she dressed as a man, sometimes wearing a false beard strapped around her head. One of the most successful rulers of her era, Hatshepsut expanded Egyptian trade and engaged in a massive building program that remained unmatched for centuries. Among the many buildings constructed during Hatshepsut’s reign was her mortuary temple, dedicated upon her death in 1458 B.C.

TRAVEL

The temple, on the west bank of the Nile across from Luxor, is nestled against a limestone cliff and is considered one of the greatest architectural achievements of antiquity because of how well it blended with its surroundings. The 97-foot-tall temple, where Egyptians could worship the deceased Hatshepsut and her father as gods, includes three colonnaded terraces rising above the desert floor. The upper terrace features statues of Hatshepsut, shown with a false beard. The walls of the temple are adorned with scenes of Hatshepsut and Thutmose with the gods, one showing Hatshepsut’s divine birth. The temple complex also includes shrines to the Egyptian god Anubis and goddess Hathor.

Shortly after Hatshepsut’s death, her successors sought to remove any evidence of her existence, which included defacing her temple images, where her soul was thought to reside. Statues of her at the mortuary temple were damaged and some were destroyed. Twentieth-century ar-

chaeologists reconstructed Hatshepsut’s lost reign from images overlooked for destruction. After Christianity came to Egypt, Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple was used as a monastery, which gave rise to its current name, Deir el-Bahari, Arabic for “Monastery of the North.”

An ordinance establishing a Utility-wide schedule of monthly user rates, late fees, connection fees, interceptor fees, application fees, reinspection fees and charges to be collected from the owners of property served by the sewage works of TriCo Regional Sewer Utility and matters connected therewith, replacing Ordinance 05-9-2022,

WHEREAS, pursuant to Indiana Code 13-26 TriCo Regional Sewer Utility (Utility) is a regional sewer district that owns, operates, manages and controls a sewage works and related facilities to collect, convey, treat and dispose of wastewater from residences, businesses, industries and institutions located within the boundaries of the Utility’s service area; and

WHEREAS, Indiana Code 13-26-11 authorizes the Utility’s Board of Trustees to adopt by ordinance a just and equitable schedule of rates, fees, and charges for sewer services rendered by the Utility, and may adjust its schedule of rates, fees, and charges by ordinance after notice and public hearing; sand

WHEREAS, based upon a financial analysis conducted by Utility staff and recommended by LWG CPAs and Advisors, the Board of Trustees desires to update the rates, fees, and charges previously established pursuant to Ordinance 05-9-2022.

Now, therefore, be it ordained by the Board of Trustees of TriCo Regional Sewer Utility, Indiana:

Section 1. Every person or entity whose premises are served by the sewage works shall be charged for the services provided. These charges are established in order that the Utility shall recover, from each user, revenue which is proportional to its use of the treatment works in terms of volume and load. User charges are levied to defray the cost of operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the sewage works.

Section 2. For the use of and the service rendered by said sewage works, rates and charges shall be collected from the owners of each and every lot, parcel of real estate or building that is connected to and discharges, either directly or indirectly, sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids into said sewage works. Any customer may, at his or her sole expense, install and maintain metering devices approved by the Utility (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) for determining the industrial wastes, water or other liquids discharged by said customer into said sewage works. The rates and charges to be collected by the Utility and paid by the customer shall include user charges, debt service costs, excessive strength surcharges and other service charges, which rates and charges shall be payable as hereinafter provided and shall be in an amount determinable as follows:

(a) Metered Users:

For users of the sewage works who are served by a metered water supply whose sewage discharge flows into the sewage works is measured by a metering device approved by the Utility, the sewage rates and charges shall consist of a Treatment Rate based upon the quantity of sewage flow discharged into the sewage works as measured by said sewage flow measuring device then in use, and a Base Rate based on the size of the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service.

For users of the sewage works whose sewage discharge flow into the sewage works is not measured, but whose water supply is metered, the sewage rates and charges shall consist of a Treatment Rate based upon the water used on or in the property or premises subject to such sewage rates and charges, as the same is measured by the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service, and a Base Rate based upon the size of the water meter(s) through which such user receives water utility service. For the purpose of billing and collecting the charges for sewage service, the water meter(s) or sewage flow measuring device shall be read monthly (or period equaling a month). The sewage rates and charges for said users shall be the sum of the Treatment Rate and the applicable Base Rate as set forth in the attached exhibits for each service area.

(b) Unmetered Users:

For users of the sewage works that are unmetered water users or accurate meter readings are not available, the monthly charge shall be determined as an average of single-family dwelling units, except as herein provided. Sewage service bills shall be rendered once each month (or a period equaling a month). The rate shall include a base rate according to the estimated meter size as listed above plus an estimated treatment charge as outlined on the schedule of rates and charges set forth in the attached exhibits for each service area.

*Residential customers with a 3/4-inch meter or 1-inch meter shall be charged a base charge for a 5/8 inch meter. A residential customer shall mean a user of the sewage works whose premises or connected building is used primarily as a single-family residence.

Unmetered Users: User Charge

Residential: Single family residence/unit $36.33

Duplexes $72.66

(c) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate or building discharging sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids in the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, has a metered water supply and in addition, is a user of water from another source which is not measured by a water meter or is measured oy a meter not acceptable to the Utility, then the amount of water used shall be otherwise measured or determined by the Utility. In order to ascertain the rates or charges, the owner or other interested party shall, at its expense, install and maintain measuring devices approved by the Utility for the determination of sewage discharge.

(d) In the event two or more residential lots, parcels of real estate, or buildings discharging sanitary sewage, water or other liquids into the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, are users of water and the quantity of water is measured by a single water meter, then in each such case, for billing purposes, the quantity of water used shall be averaged for each user and the base charge, the flow rates and charges and minimum charge shall apply to each of the number of residential lots, parcels of real estate or buildings served through the single water meter.

(e) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate or building discharging sanitary sewage, industrial waste, water or other liquids into the sewage works either directly or indirectly, and uses water in excess of 10,000 gallons per month, and it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Utility that a portion of the water as measured by the water meter or meters does not and cannot enter the sewage works, then the owner or other interested party shall, at its expense, install and maintain a metering device approved by the Utility for the determination of actual quantity discharged to the sewage works.

(f) In the event two or more dwelling units such as mobile homes, apartments, or housekeeping rooms discharging sanitary sewage, water, or other liquids into the sewage works, either directly or indirectly, are users of water and the quantity of water is measured by one or more water meters, then in such case billing shall be for a single service in the manner set elsewhere herein, except than in addition to the computed monthly bill: the number of dwelling units with two or more bedrooms multiplied by the monthly base rate for a 5/8-inch water meter shall be included, plus the number of one-bedroom dwelling units multiplied by 0.75 and the monthly base rate for a 5/8-inch water meter shall be included. In the case of mobile home courts, the number of dwelling units shall be computed and added to any other dwelling units served through the meter(s). A dwelling unit shall be interpreted as a room or rooms or any other space or spaces in which cooking facilities are provided.

(g) In order to recover the cost of monitoring industrial wastes, the Utility shall charge the user the actual cost of the monitoring. This charge will be reviewed and revised on the same basis as all other rates and charges in the ordinance.

(h) Where the Utility determines that a customer’s sewage, water, or other liquids discharged into the sewage works exceeds any limits established in the Utility’s current Sewer Use Ordinance, the Utility shall, at its sole discretion, determine and apply additional charges for treating the stronger-than-normal waste, and charge the customer for any costs to determining user-specific waste strength.

(i) Such rates and charges shall be prepared, billed and collected by the Utility in the manner provided by law and any other applicable ordinance. The rates and charges for all users shall be prepared and billed monthly. The rates and charges may be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying properties served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owner, but such billing shall in no way relieve the owner from liability in the event payment is not

made as herein required. The owner of the property or properties served, which are occupied by a tenant or tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the Utility for the purpose of determining whether bills have been paid by such tenant or tenants.

(j) Rates and charges established herein shall apply to each and every lot, parcel of real estate or building connected to the sewage works and located within the Utility’s service area. Rates and charges applicable to all lots, parcels of real estate, buildings, or utilities connected to the sewage works and located outside the Utility’s service area shall be incorporated in and established by separate agreement with interested parties.

(k) For the service rendered to TriCo Regional Sewer Utility, said Utility shall be subject to the same rates and charges herein above provided, or to rates and charges established in harmony therewith.

Section 3. The Return Check Charge for NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) shall be charged in the amount of $30.00 per check.

Section 4. Any current charges on the monthly user invoice that remain unpaid after the listed due date shall be assessed a late fee. The late fee assessed will be 10% of the unpaid current charges. This fee will be added to the following month’s user invoice.

Section 5. A Reinspection fee of $100.00 shall be charged to the property owner for each reinspection if a property fails an inspection or requires more than two inspections.

Section 6. An application fee of One Hundred Fifty Dollar ($150.00) per EDU, up to a maximum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per permit, is due and payable at the time of submittal or issuance of the connection permit. Requested revisions to previously issued permits shall be considered a new permit and shall be subject to the application fee of $150.00.

Section 7. Utility Wide Connection Fee

Prior to receiving a permit to connect to Utility sewer, the owner, lessee or developer of any real estate within the Utility’s service area shall pay to the Utility a connection fee of Two Thousand Eighty- Three Dollars ($2,083.00) per EDU. Wherever practical the Utility shall utilize Indiana Administrative Code 327 IAC 3-6-11 to determine estimated average daily flow, based upon 310 gallons per day per EDU, and the proposed use of the real estate to be served. The minimum connection fee per parcel is one EDU.

The owner, lessee or developer of the real estate may submit data to the Utility which purports to provide a more accurate estimation of the average daily flow (for example from water bills or other actual data setting forth flow from similar facilities). BOD, suspended solids, and other wastewater loadings may similarly be considered. Upon receipt and review of the data provided, the Utility may, in its absolute discretion, agree to an EDU amount that is other than the amount determined as specified above. The Utility may review real estate’s usage from time to time; if real estate is found to exceed the previously agreed amount, then upon notice by the Utility, the owner, lessee, or developer of said real estate shall promptly pay Utility the difference in EDUs at the current rate. Any change in use or additions, renovations or alterations of said real estate may trigger review of usage by the Utility.

Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the connection charge in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate.

Section 8. Utility Wide Interceptor Fee

In addition to the connection charge set forth above based upon EDU’s there is also due prior to the receipt of a permit, an Interceptor Fee of Four Thousand Seventy-five Dollars ($4,075.00) per acre.

Residential lots previously containing a dwelling that was connected to the Utility’s sanitary sewers and having paid a monthly sewer service billing are exempt from the Interceptor Fee in the event the dwelling is demolished, and new residential dwelling built on the same real estate. Lots and parcels that are part of a Utility neighborhood sewer extension project in which local sewer charges are assessed by ordinance are also exempt.

Section 9. Prior Schedule of Monthly User Charges

This ordinance shall preempt, supersede, and wholly replace Ordinance 05-9-2022 and any other prior Ordinances of the Utility as the same may be amended from time to time by the Utility. Nothing in the Ordinance shall be construed as limiting the applicability of the Utility’s various use ordinances or other definitions or terms contained in other Ordinances, with exception only to the specific Schedule of Monthly User Charges set forth therein.

Section 10. The invalidity of any section, clause, sentence, or provision of this Ordinance shall not affect the validity of any part of this Ordinance which can be given effect without such invalid part or parts.

Section 11. The revised rates shall become effective for service received June 1, 2024, and thereafter.
