Alleged fraud ring targeted Kroger

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

An Indianapolis man is facing multiple federal charges after allegedly organizing a fbi fraud ring that targeted Kroger stores and using identity theft to attempt to purchase a Cadillac Escalade in Carmel.

Frank D. Powell, 28, has been charged with seven counts of wire fraud, one count of attempted bank fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of false statements to a financial institution.

Investigators said Powell used fraudulent checks at Kroger stores in at least 12 states between January 2016 and April 2018. Many of the stores are in the Indianapolis area. The indictment states Powell and others involved in the fraud ring wrote more than 5,000 fraudulent checks using at least 30 individual and business names.

The FBI had been investigating Powell for the alleged fraud at Kroger when the Fishers Police Dept. arrested him April 4 during a traffic stop because he had an expired driver’s license and was suspected of credit card fraud at the Baymont Hotel in Fishers, according to a probable cause affidavit. Police discovered multiple JP Morgan Chase bank checks with various names

Chain reaction Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Clichés are among the most difficult of the English language peculiarities to master. These overused, if not hackneyed, phrases aim to communicate some truism and convey a far more complicated idea quickly and approachably. For example: Don’t cry over spilled milk. On its face, the expression reminds us to reserve our deep emotion for deserving occasions. Perhaps we could complete the adage this way: Don’t cry over spilled milk, unless you’ve spilled it on your expensive, new silk curtains.

Still, the shorthand of the bromides often are worthy of our consideration, such as: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

True. We’ve each heard the old saying hundreds of times. So many times, in fact, that we’ve stopped taking note. Yet, a listener new to the language would pause and consider the words. The chain – a continuous run of interconnected metal circles. Each touches the other at a single point. Yet, combined they have remarkable strength and resilience. It has dropped anchor, lifted cargo, pulled stumps and carried the pendant around our necks – each in nearly identical configuration.

So, how can such a simple, even humble, loop have done so much? And, could we form a few intentional and powerful connections with those around us? Among the many failed promises of the electronic age is that human interactions could be replaced by virtual ones. Certainly, social media amplifies the voices of a few. Still, would we be better served by a handful of real, in-person relationships with other flesh-and-blood humans? Linked together, what can we hope to accomplish?

My children are constantly shoving things in my face to read. A test they did well on, a math problem they need help with, a permission slip they’re humor too afraid to forge. And my response now, regardless of content, is almost always, “Wait. I need my glasses.” Nooooo!

Long gone are the days when I could focus simply by holding the paper out a little farther. If I don’t have my plus-1 tortoise shell readers on, fuhgeddaboudit. I’m blind as the proverbial bat. Distance is still fine, but anything within a foot is a headacheinducing blur. What’s frustrating is that I’ve always had perfect vision. In fact, I’ve spent the last 30 years obnoxiously teasing everyone else about not being able to see as well as I. Karma’s stupid.

So, I’m embracing my subpar sight. I’ve purchased multiple pairs of glasses and positioned them strategically around the house. I’ve resorted to borrowing the largeprint books from the library and am shopping for one of those gizmos that holds eyewear around the neck, which Doo is telling me are called Croakies (clearly, a derivative of the verb croak, meaning I’m aging quickly and will soon die). Yes, I can pull off the “headband look,” but not when I already have knock-off aviators sitting up there. It’s redundant.

On the positive side, my teacher street cred is about to increase exponentially.

Imagine me, peering down at a student over glasses attached to a bedazzled Bungee cord. Sure, it’s a bit spinster-librarian, but it screams, “I’m smart! Listen to me!”

I’ll end here. My oldest needs something to be signed. Now, where are my glasses?

Peace out.

READER ’ S VIE W

How you can control mosquitos on your property Editor, Early in my career, I was a health inspector. Among other things, I was trained in mosquito (vector) control.

The majority of people believe that pesticides (in forms such as mosquito control trucks) are the best method of vector control. They are not.

The most effective mosquito-control method is to remove mosquito breeding waters, specifically standing water.

You’ll want to look around for anything that contains standing water. Standing water is water that doesn’t move much.

Streams are not standing water so long as the water is flowing. Stagnant water is where mosquitoes breed.

Look for stagnant water in your gutters, in buckets or tires left outside, or even in small containers such as paper cups left outdoors. Then, empty everything that has stagnant water and make sure no more water can refill the same area.

Although you can make significant reductions in the mosquito population by removing stagnant water, if you have neighbors

with stagnant water (such as in uncleaned gutters and downspouts) you’re probably still going to have mosquitoes. Sharing this information with your neighbors may help greatly in reducing the mosquito population in your neighborhood.

I recommend making or purchasing a bat house. Bat houses can be purchased on Amazon or from Tractor Supply for about $18. Just one bat can eat up to 2,000 mosquitoes a night! A small bat house might host 10 bats. Ten bats eating 2,000 mosquitos a night equals 20,000 dead mosquitoes in one night. That is about 600,000 dead mosquitos in one month from just one little $18 bat house.

Mosquitos can, and often do, transmit diseases such as the West Nile virus, encephalitis (brain swelling) and Zika. They also transmit heart worms to dogs. There may be many more diseases they transmit that we just don’t know yet.

Lastly, the Indiana bat (myotis sodalis) is an endangered species. We need them. We need to protect them.

The other day I received something interesting in the mail.

Dear Mr. Wolfsie, humor Thank you for buying a new Oreck. We hope you enjoy many years of vacuuming pleasure. Please call us about hosting an Oreck party today.

I don’t intend to spend a single enjoyable moment with my vacuum. I have always felt there is something very frightening about vacuum cleaners. Every dog I have ever owned agrees.

I have no recollection of a similar followup after the Wolfsies bought our new sump pump. And no one cared a whit whether I had a positive experience with our document shredder. I recently had some issues with my Internet connection. The cable company called me the next day to ask if I would rate the service I was provided.

“I would be happy to do that,” I told the caller, “provided someone finally shows up.”

About that Oreck get-together: I’d be stuck for snappy conversation while guests clustered around the artichoke dip. I took a speech class in college and once spoke off-the-cuff for 15 minutes on the topic, “Life Before Rubber Bands.” Nevertheless, chatting with 20 people who share similar cleaning devices was daunting.

“So, Dick, I understand you and your wife have a new Oreck. Enlighten the group with some of your favorite moments.”

“It’s hard to pick our favorites. The night the bag of Fritos fell on the rug was unforgettable. We loved it last week when the cat shredded the down pillow. But Mary Ellen has a special place in her heart for Christmas Eve when the tree toppled over and pine needles were all over the living room floor.”

I think Mary Ellen and I will take a pass on having an Oreck party. We don’t want to sit around while our friends share their dirty little secrets. And we still have feelings for our first vacuum cleaner. It was tough saying goodbye to Kirby after 25 years. He was the product of a bygone era.

Until the day Kirby died, he pretty much remained in the closet.

Styx tour features Joan Jett, return of ‘Mr. Roboto’ From left, Styx members Chuck Panozzo, Ricky Phillips, Todd Sucherman, Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young and Lawrence Gowan. (Photo by Rick Diamond)

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Styx lead vocalist Lawrence Gowan surprised himself with how many Joan Jett songs he knew. concert Styx is headlining a tour with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Tesla at 7 p.m. July 11 at the Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville.

“The tour is exceeding expectations, although we did have high expectations for it,” Gowan said. “We’ve toured with Tesla in the past and we’re devoted followers of (that band). Joan Jett is the new factor and new part of the recipe. I love playing with her band because it’s such a visceral rock thing and everyone knows the words to so many of her songs. It’s amazing. I thought I only knew one or two songs. I actually know about 10. You discover that when you watch her show. It’s a completely well-outfitted rock machine she brings with her on the road.

“Then, of course, it’s the Styx extravaganza that we continue to elevate each year.”

Styx is touring in support of “The Mission,” which was released in June 2017 and is the band’s first new studio album in 14 years.

“It’s been on Billboard’s classic rock

charts for almost an entire year,” Gowan said. “We love seeing the young people out there wearing their ‘Mission’ T-shirt and jumping up when we play ‘Radio Silence.’ It validates we made the right record for this chapter of our career.”

Drawing much attention to Styx is playing “Mr. Roboto,” which was part of the 1983 “Kilroy Was Here” album, which hasn’t been performed on tour for years.

Following the rock opera concept album and tour, Tommy Shaw left the band to pursue a solo career. Soon after, the band broke up.

The band reformed in 1990 without Shaw but with then-primary lead vocalist Dennis DeYoung, who left in 1992. Shaw and DeYoung returned to Styx in 1995, but the band decided to replace DeYoung with Gowan in 1999 when DeYoung couldn’t tour because of health issues. James “JY” Young and Shaw had long disagreed with DeYoung about the band’s direction.

Gowan said he had go to his Styx history class to understand why the band didn’t play “Mr. Roboto,” which was written by DeYoung.

if you go When: 7 p.m. July 11.

Tickets: $24 to $118.50.

For more, visit livenation.com.

“I have three professors with Tommy Shaw, James Young and Chuck Panozzo,” Gowan said. “It was never that song but always the experience of that tour. I can imagine they were young then and it was a grueling recording and touring schedule they were on back then. There is bound to be friction, and one wrong thing can be the tipping point and they need to go to the neutral corners for time out. The experience was hard on the whole band. But enough time has passed, and let’s face it, “Mr. Roboto” is a song that has lasted for decades. It’s part of the cultural reference of so many people around the world. It makes sense for us to play it.”

Gowan said the band rehearsed it and recorded it and decided it was strong.

“It doesn’t totally sound out of place with our three to four songs we are playing from ‘The Mission,’ Gowan said. “It’s an iconic song from our past into the show that people aren’t really expecting. It goes so well in the show, there is no way we’re going to take it out.”

Gowan said it’s a fun song to sing.

“When you get inside a song, deconstruct it and put the pieces back together, it’s amazing how deeper your admiration for the piece can be,” Gowan said. “Once I did that, I really started to feel a great connection to the piece.”

The Summer Stock Stage’s production of the musical “Urinetown” has a heavy dose of Hamilton County performers.

“It’s very intensive. You really learn a lot from the teachers, the program and all the classes here,” Holshouser said Holshouser, 17, who attends Academy of Russian Classical Ballet in Redmond, Wash. “It’s really fun and engaging.”

The summer intensive program concludes with the Fourth Annual Summer Gala at 7 p.m. July 13 at Creekside Middle School, 3525 W. 126th St., Carmel.

Blueprint for Improvement: West Carmel kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1998 home in the Weston Ridge neighborhood of West Carmel is a great space for the owners to raise their small family.

After 20 years with no updates, the owners decided to remodel.

The goal was to create a more modern kitchen design for the homeowners while optimizing the space.

1. The largest transformation came from replacing the cabinetry with white cabinets on the perimeter and dark gray island cabinets. The contrasting cabinets help make the space appear larger than it is.

2. Additional cabinetry was added to bring the cabinets to ceiling height. This not only added storage but also helped make the space appear larger.

3. Another large transformation came from replacing the microwave with a microwave drawer which was incorporated into the island. A modern, stainless-steel range hood was installed above the stove, where the microwave previously was.

4. A modern glass subway tile backsplash and a new lighting plan finished off the look.

After

Before problems The kitchen felt small and lacked proper storage. The materials used in the original kitchen had been there since the home was built.

Those materials not only dated the space but no longer functioned well for the owners.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/ blog.
