City using ARPA funds for premium pay, street paving

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is using the first half of the $7.5 million it received through the American Rescue Plan Act PANDEMIC to provide premium pay for city employees who worked on-site through the pandemic and to pave city streets.

The second half of the funds is expected to be received later this year, and the city expects to designate them for similar purposes.

The council recently approved plans to allocate more than $1 million in premium pay for eligible city employees and nearly $112,000 for eligible Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation employees. The premium pay, as defined through the act, is for employees who worked on-site “needed to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors and additional sectors” as determined by the governor.

In Carmel, 633 employees in all departments received premium pay, which was given to those who worked on-site between March 24, 2020, and May 2, 2021.

The premium pay provided an extra $2 per hour for each hour worked on-site, up to 2 percent of an employee’s 2021 annual base salary.

“We had a lot of city employees, who, by nature of their jobs, were exposed (to the risk of contracting COVID-19),” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “We wanted to reward all our Brainard employees who work hard and do a good job for our community.”

The city is allocating more than $2.6 million for infrastructure projects, including regularly scheduled repaving of city streets. Using ARPA funds for this purpose will allow the city to boost the amount available in its general fund.

“We have tens of millions in operating balances at the end of most years,” Brainard said. “It is important to keep those balances for good bond ratings, which keeps our interest rates low when we issue bonds.”

Dan McFeely, a spokesman for the City of Carmel, said ARPA funds may be used to pay for general infrastructure based on

a provision in the act that allows cities to use ARPA funds to replace revenue lost as a result of the pandemic. McFeely said because of many variables the city does not have an estimate on how much revenue it has lost because of COVID-19.

Martin Brown, program manager for the National League of Cities Center for City Solutions, said ARPA funds are “not intended primarily” for roadway projects but that they could be considered eligible as an infrastructure project. For example, he said he recently heard of a city using the funds to pay for streetlights aimed at reducing community violence.

“In general, this is one of the most flexible federal programs with direct aid to local governments, cities, towns and villages,” Brown said. “It was designed in that way intentionally to allow cities to best recover from devastating impacts from the pandemic and address any standing inequalities that exist in those communities that were further exacerbated or fomented by the pandemic.”

The city received nearly $3.4 million in COVID-19 relief funds in 2020, mostly through the CARES Act, which funded

CCS RECEIVES $3.4M IN FEDERAL RELIEF Carmel Clay Schools has received more than $3.4 million in federal funding through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief program. The district used the $1.2 million it received in the first two rounds of funding to purchase software licenses to support virtual learning, provide before and after school remediation services and add intervention teachers.

CCS used $2.2 million received in the third phase of the program to hire teachers and instructional assistants, pay for COVID-19 contact tracing, provide an Educare workers subsidy, purchase masks and hand sanitizer, and upgrade technology.

COVID-19 testing, personal protective equipment and pay for first responders. The city has received nearly $44,000 from FEMA this year to cover overtime pay for the Carmel Fire Dept.

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032

More than 240 apartments and four outlots have been proposed on Michigan Road between 106th and 116th streets. (Renderings from documents filed with the City of Carmel)

244 apartments proposed along Michigan Road

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com REI Real Estate Services is seeking to build 244 apartments in 10 buildings and four commercial outDEVELOPMENT lots on the east side of Michigan Road between 106th and 116th streets.

The 22-acre site, which is zoned B3 and in the Michigan Road corridor overlay zone, was previously home to Altum’s Landscape and Nursery, which moved to Zionsville this summer.

Apartments are typically permitted in B3 zoning, but the site is subject to commitments approved in 1988 that exclude them.

Per the commitments, apartments may be granted as a permitted use by the Carmel Plan Commission.

REI presented plans for the site to the plan commission on Dec. 21. During a public hearing, several nearby residents expressed concerns that included increased density near single-family homes, architectural style and quality, and setback requirements.

Several members of the plan commission shared concerns as well.

Commissioner Carrie Holle was the lone vote against advancing the project to the commission’s commercial committee for further discussion. Holle is a Realtor, and she said she believes the project as presented, which she said “has no aesthetic appeal,” would have a negative impact on nearby homes.

“This will not increase property values,” she said. “This will do just the opposite.”

Jon Dobosiewicz, a land use professional who spoke on behalf of REI, said the project team did not believe the apartment buildings fell within the Michigan Road overlay zone because they are more than 400 feet from the roadway, so the architect was not asked to design buildings that met the overlay zone standards. He said REI will ask the architect to rework the design to meet the overlay zone requirements.

The commission voted 6-1 to send the petition to the commercial committee for further review at its Feb. 1 meeting. The full plan commission will have final voting authority.

Twins double the production for Fishers girls basketball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hailey and Olivia Smith have always pushed each other to get better on the basketball court.

Sometimes, those pushes came to shoves playing outside at their home.

“There was always a fight,” Hailey said.

“My parents had to come outside because it was coming to a fistfight, or someone is getting yelled at. It’s not as much as it used to be because we know how to control it now.”

The 17-year-old identical twins are junior standouts on the Fishers High School girls basketball team. Prior to the scheduled Dec. 30 game at Frankton, Hailey averaged teamhighs of 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game for Fishers (11-3). Olivia was second on the team with averages of 9.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.

“It helps knowing what we’re best at and what we’re not best at,” Olivia said. “We’re competing in practice every day and always pushing each other to do our best in practice and on the court. I focus on attacking.

That’s my strength. One thing I want to (im-

“Hailey does a really great job defensively,” Fishers coach Lauren Votaw said. “A lot of time we charge her with defending the other team’s Hailey best player. She is a good leader through her energy and effort. Olivia is very passionate. Olivia is a little more of a physical player. She does a nice job of defending post players when we need that.

“They both bring a competitiveness and passion for the game that I can’t teach.”

Votaw said both players finish well around the rim.

“Their experience this year has helped because they are really the only players that have played a complete varsity season,” Votaw said. “We’ve relied on them a lot in close games and practice to make sure we’re on the same page.”

Votaw said Olivia is the more vocal player in practice.

“Hailey is often the one that will take over (vocally) on the court in games,” Votaw said. “Their personalities are pretty similar

off the court, but they do have their differences.

They are two unique individuals. Obviously, they have the twin bond. They play very well together.

When they are both on the Olivia court, we are better.”

Hailey missed three games with a concussion.

“My first game was the Noblesville game, so I had a lot of excitement going into that game,” Hailey said.

Fishers upset then-Class 4A No. 1 Noblesville 57-43 Dec. 10.

Olivia said each day the team is getting better.

“We’re sticking together on and off the court and creating bonds and connections,” Olivia said. “January is going to set where we can be in February (postseason) as a team.”

Hailey and Olivia each have offers from Western Michigan. They said they hope to play together in college.

Local history buff earns award

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brendan White is a history buff.

So even though he lives 40 minutes away from Westfield in Greentown, AWARDS he was named the Westfield Washington Historical Society’s Flickering Lantern Volunteer of the Year.

White, 30, who also volunteers with the Carmel Clay Historical Society and elsewhere, said he was surprised by the honor.

“I spend most of my time there accessioning and digitizing photographs and documents, such as old letters written during the 1880s,” he said. “I am thinking about doing other projects for the organization.”

White also volunteers for the Hamilton County Bicentennial.

“I am volunteering and working part time at these organizations primarily to get work experience,” White said. “I am looking out for a full-time job to utilize my master’s degree in history, which I earned from Ball State University in 2018.”

New team finds national success in 10K event

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mike Cole and John Poray have been talking about forming a 40-and-older running team for a couple of RUNNING years.

“We were waiting until John and Jesse Davis turned 40 and hoping I would still be running decently strong and be able to help the team,” said Cole, a 46-year-old Cole Zionsville resident.

The Indiana Elite Athletic Club won the USA Track and Field National Club Cross Country Championships 40-and-over men’s masters 10K division Dec. 11 in Tallahassee, Fla. “We’re very proud and happy. One of the best running moments of my life, and I’ve had a lot of them, (was) to put together a team to win a national title. (It) is pretty special,” Cole said.

Davis, an Indianapolis resident, was the race winner in 32 minutes, 55.1 seconds.

“Jesse is a two-time Olympic qualifier in the marathon, and he’s an all-around good runner,” said Cole, who competed for Ball State University’s cross country and track and field teams.

Poray, Fishers, was 12th. Other team members’ finishes were Bryan Lindsay, Zionsville, 19th: Tom Burns, Westfield, 28th; and Jasen Ritter, Indianapolis, 40th. The top five finishers were counted in the winning total.

Cole finished 41st; and Jeff Zeha, Fishers, 77th; and Rob Awe, Carmel, 120th.

“Bryan Lindsay was second in the NCAA Championships in the 1,500 when he was at BYU,” Cole said. “There are some really good athletes on our team. It’s crazy we all live in a 20- to 30-mile radius other than Mike Jackson, who lives in Bloomington, and (he) wasn’t able to go (to) the race.”

“This is our first national championship we went to together,” Cole said. “USA Track and Field has several masters national championships. We have high hopes for winning all we go to.”

Cole said there are championships in 5K, 1 mile, 10 mile and half-marathon.

The 5K road championships are in February.

Positive power of a note Commentary by Jim White Teenagers may never say it, but they like it when you write them notes.

One of the most effecPARENTING tive ways to build connection and empower your teen is to hand write a note — although many people fail to see the importance of this in our digital age. This can be done as a way to heal your relationship after an argument or as a way to communicate how much you love and believe in them.

Here is what you do: After an unusually difficult week, write something like this and set it on their bed: John, I know this last week has been tough for us. I am sorry for yelling at you, but when I get frustrated it is hard for me to stop. I know that it never really helps, and going forward I am going to try to be more understanding.

More importantly, I want you to know that even though we disagree and fight sometimes, I still love you. You are my son, and I will always love you no matter what.

Have a great day at school.

I love you, Dad Now, don’t expect your son or daughter to immediately acknowledge your note.

In fact, they may never bring it up, but be assured that they read it. I know one young man who said that he kept all of the notes his parents had written him during high school. He shared that these notes helped him get through his freshman year at college. He loved reading them whenever he was feeling homesick or down about something.

How about a note of encouragement on the day of a big test?

How about a note of appreciation if they help a younger sibling with their homework?

You get the idea. Grab a pen and start writing.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PURCHASE NEW WINDOWS? Assuming you actually NEED new windows (we can help determine that!) the short answer is NOW! Although you would expect that answer from an owner of an Andersen Window and Door Dealer, I do mean it, and here’s why: 1) ALL window companies in my experience, take a price increase in the first quarter of the year. This year many companies took TWICE the increase in the spring, and then a second or even a THIRD increase later in the year. Andersen took two increases that were overall lower than any of our major competitors, but still twice what we were used to. There is not anything on the horizon that I see not to expect another increase in early 2022.

2) Window companies are experiencing the perfect storm in terms of needing to increase prices: record demand; lack of enough labor; supply chain issues with materials needed; cost of labor and materials. When you’re running at peak capacity for instance, there is no reason to lower costs or offer pricing incentives to Dealers like us. Therefore, price inflation in our industry is real and I only see it getting worse, in the short term.

3) Lead times are LONG. If you want your windows installed in early 2022 for instance, NOW would be the time to order, to insure we have the product ready.

4) If you NEED new windows, putting off the replacement can only make matters worse. Since we do a FULL-FRAME REPLACEMENT in most cases, we see what is behind the walls, due to leaky windows…and in many cases, it is not pretty. Due to the general age of wood windows in our market, every year seems to get worse, with the bad stuff we see behind the walls. Wood rot is not something to ignore in your home!

As people worked from home more over the last two years, companies like ours have been blessed with much new business from people who are looking at their old leaky windows a little more closely. Should you be one of them?

Pastry chef receives German-American Friendship Award

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Juergen Jungbauer has made it his mission to bridge German and American cultures since he emigrated to America in 1963.

ACHIEVEMENT Jungbauer, the owner of Heidelberg Haus Café & Bakery at 7625 Pendleton Pike in Lawrence, recently was recognized for his efforts.

He received the Federal Republic of Germany German-American Friendship Award on the Carmel Christkindlmarkt’s opening day, Nov. 20.

“They think I do such a great job of promoting German-American culture in Indiana for the last 50 years,” Jungbauer said. “But it’s not just me. It’s the store. It’s the atmosphere. It’s the employees. I got (the award), but my wife and daughters who work here and the beautiful salespeople every day convey that happiness to the customers.”

Heidelberg Haus is well-known as a German café serving pastry items and lunch, but it also offers gift items and is a German grocery store.

Jungbauer, 78, always wanted to be a baker. He started his career in America in 1963 after working as a pastry chef on a cruise ship. While working on the ship, a restaurant owner from New York saw Jungbauer’s work and invited Jungbauer to work for him in New York.

“In those days, you got off the boat and went to the embassy in Frankfort (Germany) and applied to come to

America,” said Jungbauer, who is from Karlsruhe, Germany.

“It worked really beautiful.”

Jungbauer became an American citizen and after starting his career as a pastry chef in America, he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1966. He attended basic training in Fort Lewis, Wash., and then attended finance school at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence when it was still a commissioned military base.

“Finance school didn’t work out because I didn’t speak

enough English, so I told them I’d like to work in the kitchen,” Jungbauer said.

That request led Jungbauer down an incredible journey.

He baked cakes and pastries for government dignitaries such as presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, various governors, mayors and politicians. On a wall in Heidelberg Haus, Jungbauer displays letters he received from former Presidents Richard Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson and other well-known people.

Despite the café’s success, Jungbauer said he never has and never will expand the bakery. He even refuses to have a booth at the Christkindlmarkt in Carmel, although he said the organization is fantastic.

“I won’t go anywhere. I have no interest in getting bigger,” he said. “We like to be small. We bake in the morning, and in the evening we go home. I could’ve opened five stores, but we’re happy and content. We pay our bills, we pay our taxes, and we make people happy, and that’s what I want. I lived the American dream. I came with $30 in my pocket.”

Despite not participating in the Christkindlmarkt, Christkindlmarkt CEO and Market Master Maria Murphy said Jungbauer has made an incredible impact on connecting German and American cultures.

“When I first got this job in 2017, he was one of the first calls and visits that I made because I wanted to be sure that our Christkindlmarkt would be authentic and represent the German culture well,” Murphy said. “He’s one of the best resources you can find.”

Retiring chief ready to hand reins to new leadership after 38 years with CPD

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Police Dept. Chief Jim Barlow wondered how he would know when it was the right time to retire.

The answer became clear in January 2021 when he was out of town and was notified of a tragic situation that ended with CPD officers fatally shooting a man who had fired Barlow several shots from within his home before raising a gun at officers.

Barlow’s friends on the trip with him assumed he’d need to rush back to Carmel, but he had enough confidence in the team on duty that he felt they could manage the situation without him. And they did.

“I came back, and it was handled,” Barlow said. “It was my proud papa day, knowing that they’re quite capable and that they did a fantastic job.”

Feeling that the future of the department is in good hands, Barlow publicly announced last month his plans to retire on Jan. 7 after a 38-year career with CPD. He will be replaced by CPD Deputy Chief Jeff Horner, a 28-year CPD veteran who said he’s learned much from Barlow during their time working together.

“He’s been a great mentor getting me prepared to do this assignment,” Horner said.

MANY ROLES Barlow, 62, became interested in a career in law enforcement while taking a criminal justice class as a business student at Indiana University. So, he changed his major and graduated with a degree in public affairs and criminal justice in 1983, joining CPD later that year.

Having grown up in Michigan City, Barlow didn’t know much about Carmel, then a city of approximately 20,000 residents. But he got to know it well as his career advanced, first as an overnight patrol officer and later as a firearms instructor; member and then commander of the SWAT team; investigator; and commander of the operations and support divisions. He became assistant chief of police in 2011 before being named chief in

river cruise.

He’s looking forward to having more time to spend with his wife of 35 years and their three children and four grandchildren, who all live in Hamilton County.

“Over the years I’ve probably spent more time with my second family here at the police department than I have with my family,” Barlow said. “My wife’s been fantastic about that, so it’s time I spent some time with her enjoying life.”

Jim Barlow, right, then a CPD patrol officer, pauses with then-Sgt. Tim Green in 1987. Green would later become CPD chief and be succeeded by Barlow.

2017 to replace the retiring Tim Green.

Barlow, who also served as director of the Hamilton County Drug Task Force and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, said he enjoyed each step in his journey through CPD. “It really helped me as chief,” he said. “I got the opportunity to do a lot of different roles and see how this department is run from a lot of different perspectives.”

Barlow listed being part of a statewide effort in the 1990s to seize large amounts of LSD brought to the community by fans of Grateful Dead and Phish when the bands would perform in Hamilton County among his most memorable moments, as well as being among the team of officers that arrested the suspects accused of murdering three young people in 1994 in the Thistlewood neighborhood.

“We were able to apprehend them and

testify in one of the murder trials in South Bend,” Barlow said. “That was big, because you were able to catch some people who committed a horrendous act and see it through to conviction.”

Barlow said his greatest career achievement isn’t related to a single case but rather CPD’s efforts to provide expanded support to its own officers.

“What is nearest and dearest to my heart is probably when we came to the realization that we need to take care of our officers so they can better serve the community and started looking at mental health and physical health,” he said. “We’ve seen where it’s really helping.”

In 2019, CPD began providing an on-staff mental health consultant, and the department has worked to expand its counseling resources. Barlow said unaddressed emotional or mental health issues can lead to alcohol abuse or anger management problems that can affect an officer’s ability on the job.

“When I was a young officer, when we dealt with (difficult) things, it was always, ‘Rub dirt in it and get back into the ballgame,’” Barlow said. “We know that doesn’t work.”

WHAT’S NEXT In retirement, Barlow, a Carmel resident, plans to spend more time bike riding, hunting and traveling, including on a European

MEET THE NEW CHIEF Carmel Police Dept. Deputy Chief Jeff Horner, who will soon replace retiring Chief Jim Barlow, knew by the time he was 12 years old that he wanted to go into law enforcement.

“I wanted to get into one of those Horner jobs where you’re out and about serving the community,” he said. “I’m very inquisitive, so I like to go places where other people don’t get to go and see what other people don’t get to see.”

Horner joined CPD in 1994 after graduating from Ball State University.

He’s worked in the operations division, supervised the School Resource Unit and served as a defensive tactics instructor and SWAT commander.

He became deputy chief of administration in 2018.

As chief, Horner plans to continue several initiatives already under way, including expanding the focus on officers’ mental health. He also plans to devote more resources to cybercrimes and improve the process for releasing information to the public.

Horner has appointed Lt. Joe Bickel, who joined CPD in 1994, to fill his role as deputy chief of administration.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Legacies of the living

For crying out loud

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The holidays bring with them a raft of nostalgia. We watch old movies and eat meals concocted from long-lost recipes.

There is something in all of us — well most of us, anyway — that holds on dearly to our remembered past. Some cultures have built significant religious theology upon this remembrance, some might argue, like worship of ancestors.

Closer to home, our landscape abounds with prominent bits of real estate filled with stone monuments, many of which bear the names of long-forgotten members of our community. In all cases, the granite carvings will extend many decades longer than the lifespan of even the oldest human whose passing was memorialized by the tombstone. Why do we long for permanence still knowing that none exists?

We commemorate government buildings, streets and rock formations with names of our dead. Ostensibly, the deceased did something special, extra-contributory, or even great. Good. There are exemplars among us. Still, as we tear down statues and rename creeks traversing campuses, one is led to wonder if our pride in these many actions also will someday be judged as misplaced. Do we control the narrative of what others may think? Should we attempt it? Could we imagine a future generation looking at the effects of our contribution and determining it to have been harmful? Does it matter, or is it the challenge of each generation to reshape the works of those past into their own storyline?

Must we act to save the world, or are we just seeking change for its own sake? Is it better to have the creek named after us? Perhaps knowing the difference, if there is one, is the trick. If there is a legacy that matters, isn’t it in the people and ideas that we care about while living? Cheers to 2022!

Friends, the end of an era is nigh.

This month marks the beginning of my last season as a dance mom, as my daughter will be graduating in May and heading off to college without her jazz shoes. “I’m not crying, you are!”

And you should be. For almost 10 years now, I have drawn on my substantial powers of observation to report on the often hilarious and always tawdry world of competitive youth dance. From the dressing-room drama to tales of tarted-up toddlers, I’ve entertained hundreds, perhaps millions, of readers through my all-access pass as a Dance Mom. What will I write about now? There’s simply no other arena that will give me reason to publically shame the costume choices of clearly terrible parents and make catty remarks on stupid judges who award stupid scores and who can’t possibly know more than me, earner of a B in freshman ballet. Where else will I utilize my admittedly small cache of survival skills to emerge sane after 48 hours of 96 identical contemporary routines at a local high school performing arts center with nothing but stale popcorn, online sudoku and an ibuprofen-Aleve cocktail to keep me going?

The answer is “nowhere.” Being a dance mom has allowed me entrance into an unbelievable world of humanity, where relationships and questionable choices and an ungodly amount of hairspray intermingle to create a literary treasure trove of topics. Unless my husband Doo suddenly decides to train for the maniac sport of Olympic curling, I can’t imagine I’ll ever have the kind of column fodder I’ve enjoyed as a dance mom.

Maybe I’m crying, too.

Peace out.

How much growth is enough?

Editor, I reviewed the draft documentation for the Carmel comprehensive plan and watched the “Talk of the Town” video sessions. I think the comprehensive plan should be rethought to answer the more fundamental and important question around targeted growth: How much growth is enough and how much growth is too much?

We cannot create a useful map if we do not know the destination. I see no indication that residents are requesting the high levels of growth outlined in the plan.

Low congestion is one of the best aspects of Carmel. The high-density development along all of the major thoroughfares will greatly diminish this “just big enough” aspect. While the survey indicates that residents want the option to walk and bike to more destinations, there is nothing to indicate that this will account for a significant percentage of transportation. Cars will remain the default mode because they are faster, carry more people, carry more cargo and better combat the all-too-frequent inclement weather, not to mention transportation after dark.

There is also no indication that Carmel is ready to shift to public transit. The IndyGo Red Line buses were not allowed to extend their route from Indianapolis into Carmel, and we can barely find enough drivers for the school buses we already have.

I am opposed to the new comprehensive plan. Not because the plan is proposing change, but rather because it provides no basis or bounds for the growth targets outlined. I also see no viable mitigation plans for the resulting high congestion, because shifts to walking/biking/public transit as the default are unrealistic.

Your legacy lives in the people around you.

Strangers’ kindness reaffirms belief in goodness of humanity Editor, My son recently came home from work and handed me a lovely Christmas card with a gift card enclosure addressed to him. I was surprised and asked him who the senders were. He matter-of-factly told me they were his customers whom he saw regularly. This seemingly small gesture touched my heart.

For context, I am a parent of a 30-ish young man who has proudly worked in a local grocery store for a number of years.

It has been a lifelong effort for him to comfortably work with the public, concentrate on his tasks and fully realize the importance of doing a job well. Autism jolted him as a toddler into a world he could not comprehend; he lost his speech, his awareness of his surroundings, his ability to recognize cause and effect, and his innate tools to filter the bombardment of his ever-changing everyday environment.

It has been a lengthy journey of achieve-

ment for him to be where he is and to be the person he has become. Many years of his own efforts combined with our parenting and the guidance of friends, family and teachers have groomed him to be successful.

I say all of this not only as a thank you to Abby and Nola but to highlight how seemingly small acts of kindness have positive ripple effects. Their card to my son moved me, especially because of his life’s story.

I was pleased that his actions produced a positive reaction but that also someone reached out to him and let him know it.

We are considered civilized because of our humanity. Small, courteous gestures or just smiling at someone are positive indicators of our humanity. If we just remember to have eye contact or even subtle recognition of those who invisibly provide us with all kinds of services, it can be uplifting to both parties.

Matriarch Birth Center proposed

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Old Town Companies is seeking to build a birth center, which would be the first in Hamilton County, at 520 N. Range Line Rd. Matriarch Birth Center & Women’s Health would be in a new 7,000-square-foot, two-story building on half an acre. It is designed to contain three birth suites, clinic rooms for patient visits, classroom space and a large wraparound porch on the exterior to match the character of the surrounding area.

The birth center would provide services for women considered to have low-risk pregnancies, and most would return home within hours of giving birth. Care would be provided by certified nurse midwives.

The center would not provide surgery services, offer epidurals or anesthesia or terminate pregnancies.

The Carmel Plan Commission reviewed the center’s site plan at its Dec. 21, 2021 meeting. The commission’s residential committee, which has final voting authority on the matter, is scheduled to take a closer look at the plans at its Jan. 4 meeting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT 2021

Matriarch Birth Center is planned in a two-story, 7,000-square-foot structure at 520 N. Range Line Rd. (Image from City of Carmel filings)

The site of the proposed birth center contains a 1.5-story residential building constructed circa 1900. The existing structure is identified as a building of social history significance on the City of Carmel/Clay Township Historic Architecture Survey.

Justin Moffett, CEO of Old Town Companies, told the commission he intends for the existing building to remain and serve as a complementary use for the birth center.

The center is co-founded and co-owned

by Moffett’s wife, Jennifer, and Brandie Stoneking, a certified doula and childbirth educator. Other co-owners are Laura Wiegand and Dr. Dele Ogunleye.

Resolutions for your feet Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan The New Year is here, and many are ready to follow through with resolutions to exercise. Starting a new PODIATRY sport or fitness program is a great way to drop weight or to improve your cardiovascular health.

But when you try a new exercise or start exercising more, you put lots of pressure on your feet. Follow these four important tips to avoid injuries.

WEAR SHOES DESIGNED FOR THE EXERCISE OR SPORT Athletic shoes that support your arch and cushion the heel are best to wear. To avoid twists and sprains, select shoes that offer ankle support. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that one shoe works for all activities. While shoe shopping, ask for advice based on your new activity. Orthotics may also help provide extra support. Have your feet measured and wear the proper size for the best comfort and fit.

START NEW WORKOUTS GRADUALLY Stretch or warm up for your workout and start new exercise routines gradually. We

recommend increasing your exercise intensity by only 10 percent each week. If your feet do get sore, use rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E.).

PROTECT YOUR FEET FROM BACTERIA Public showers at the gym are breeding grounds for bacteria, including resistant strains like MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Never go barefoot in public areas and cover cuts and cracks in the skin or ingrown toenails. If you have a cut or scrape that gets infected and it’s not healing in a timely manner, contact our office to have it checked out.

CHECK WITH YOUR PODIATRIST It may be too early to jump back into exercising if you’re recovering from an injury or if you were recently diagnosed with a foot condition. Ask your podiatrist before making any fitness plans.

Klush will be a featured performer in Elvis tribute show at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Shawn Klush admired the singing style of Elvis Presley at an early age.

“Every kid when they are MUSIC young grabs a broomstick or a bat and stands in front of the mirror,” Klush said. “It’s either to (mimc) Elvis Presley, Tom Jones or The Beatles and Kiss. I didn’t realize there was a life around that. I love it and I still love it.”

Klush will be one of the featured performers in the “Elvis Tribute: Artist Spectacular” at 7 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The concert celebrates what would have been Presley’s 86th birthday Jan. 8. Presley died in 1977 at age 42.

“It’s a high-energy show that takes you through Elvis’ life musically,” Klush said.

“We go up from Sun Records to ‘Suspicious Minds,’ ‘Burning Love’ and ‘My Way.’ Come out and leave the inhibitions behind.”

Cody Ray Slaughter will perform as Presley in black leather from the 1968 TV comeback special. Ryan Pelton will perform Presley’s songs from the movie years and when he was in the military. A surprise guest will perform songs when Presley first started.

Special guests include the Blackwood Quartet, members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. All performers are backed up by The Fabulous Ambassadors and The Nashville Dreams, the female backup singers.

Klush, 52, has been performing as Elvis for 28 years.

“I’m more prone to the jumpsuit stuff because that’s what I remember as a child,” he said. “The quality of Elvis tones, to this day, it’s fresh.”

Klush’s favorite song is “If I Can Dream,” adding that he doesn’t even sing in this show.

Klush is Elvis Presley Enterprises’ first Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist and was the winner of BBC television’s “World’s Greatest Elvis.”

“We usually hit Australia and the U.K.

and across the U.S.,” Klush said. “We just got home from the U.K. We did 11 sold-out shows over there. It’s nice to go over there because it’s Beatles land, and to see the uprising of Elvis fans — even The Beatles were Elvis fans — that’s what is cool.”

Klush performed as Presley in “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” in a CBS miniseries and in the HBO series “Vinyl.” He is now doing an FX show, “What We Do in the Shadows,” a mockumentary comedy horror series where he plays Presley as a vampire.

Klush, who lives outside Scranton, Pa.,

has worked for “Legends in Concert” for Myrtle Beach, S.C., Branson, Mo., Las Vegas and Atlantic City showrooms. He mostly performed in Myrtle Beach.

“When you do the same seven songs for 10 years, you kind of get (to where) when you do your own shows, (it’s) I’m not doing any of those songs,” Kush said of the “Legends in Concerts.”

For our people at the Center for the Performing Arts, the holidays are a brief respite at the midpoint of the arts VIEWPOINT season, a time to reflect on the first half and look forward to coming events. We needed it (I hope you enjoyed yours).

After our year-plus pivot to online programming while touring entertainment was on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced our 2021-22 season last spring with great enthusiasm and a full calendar of Center Presents performances. The audience demand was clear — subscription sales took off at record pace.

As summer turned to fall, we all learned about the “delta variant.” Artists were eager to get back on the road but concerned for their touring teams, and they understandably began adding pandemic protocols to their contracts. In the fall, like most live entertainment presenters across the country, the Center announced masking and vaccine/testing requirements for employees and patrons. It was not only the right thing to do for the community, but also the only way to continue presenting top national and international artists for full-capacity audiences.

The vast majority of our patrons have tak-

en the protocols in stride, happy to get back to live gatherings with an all-in-this-together attitude. Many told us they were relieved and felt safer returning to the venues with those protections in place. We’ve also heard some colorful feedback that our staff has handled with professionalism and grace.

Nonetheless, the season’s first half has been a great success in terms of the Center’s mission: To engage and inspire the central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. People of all ages have been enjoying our educational and experiential programs, not to mention soldout shows for the likes of John Legend, Ben Folds, Postmodern Jukebox, Dave Koz and David Sedaris.

Now, we look ahead to the second half — and the 2022-23 season we’ll be announcing in the spring. Yes, uncertainties remain, and now there’s something called “omicron.”

Let’s hope we don’t have to work through the entire Greek alphabet, but please know that the Center will stay on mission. We hope you will join us.

Jeffrey C. McDermott is the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and Great American Songbook Foundation.

Straight No Chaser show set news@currentincarmel.com Acclaimed vocal group Straight No Chaser will deliver the headline performance in September at the Center FUNDRAISER for the Performing Arts’ annual gala fundraiser.

The Center Celebration 2022 presented by Krieg DeVault is set for Sept. 16 at the Palladium. After two years in which the event was streamed online because of pandemic concerns, the next gala will return to an on-site, in-person format.

“We can’t wait to welcome our family of supporters back to the Palladium for this special night that we all look forward to so much,” stated Jeffrey C. McDermott, the Center’s president/CEO. “The 2022 event will truly be a celebration.”

Straight No Chaser was scheduled to appear at the 2020 gala, which was canceled.

The group was scheduled to return in 2021, but when the event switched to virtual, a decision was made to have the group return

when there could be an in-person audience.

Straight No Chaser, founded at Indiana University and discovered on YouTube by Atlantic Records, has become one of the world’s top all-male a cappella groups, with a huge fan base, numerous national TV appearances and a series of successful CD releases.

The evening also will include a cocktail reception, a live auction and themed after-parties in the Palladium’s lounges.

Co-chairing the Center Celebration 2022 will be Mike and Liz Holtz Messaglia of Brownsburg and Jeff and Shari Worrell of Carmel.

The co-chairs are seeking volunteers to serve on the various committees coordinating the gala.

The Center’s virtual gala in September 2021 generated more than $200,000 in gifts and pledges to support the Center’s mission. The free livestream attracted viewers as far away as Australia and the United Kingdom.

Examining the definition of art Commentary by Randy Sorrell What’s your definition of art? The world’s expert on everything, Google, claims that art is “the expression VIEWPOINT or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture.”

NFT? Google’s art definition makes sense, and I value the cave-dwellers narrative. But how does an NFT suddenly occupy this space called art? NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, are pieces of digital content linked to the blockchain, the digital database supporting cryptocurrencies. Fungible means the item can be replaced by another identical item.

So, NFT is a piece of digital art that can’t be reproduced.

What’s new in neologisms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Arch of San Lucas in Cabo San Lucas. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to Cabo San Lucas Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we will visit Cabo San Lucas, which, together with nearby San José del Cabo, defines the municipal TRAVEL region known as Los Cabos, Mexico.

In 1974, the Mexican government began promoting international tourism throughout the Los Cabos area, including building a coastal highway between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Today, the coast between those cities is lined with hotels, condominiums and timeshare units. Los Cabos attracts about 2 million visitors a year, most from the United States and Canada.

Cabo San Lucas (often “Cabo”) lies at the southern end of the Baja California Peninsula, about 20 miles south of San José del Cabo. Founded as a fishing village in the late 18th century, Cabo is known for its sandy beaches and diving opportunities.

The Arch of San Lucas (also Lands End), Cabo’s distinctive landmark, is a natural rock formation that juts into the water from the city’s southern end. Lovers Beach is along the Sea of Cortés on the east side of the arch, and Divorce Beach is along the rougher Pacific Ocean on the other side. Boat tours from the marina take visitors close to the arch, where they can often see resting sea lions and sunbathers.

Unlike the tranquil and even quaint San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas is famous for its shopping, dining opportunities and nightlife. The three-story Puerto Paraiso Mall, adjacent to the marina, encompasses more than 12 acres of floor space, featuring world-class shops, trendy restaurants, 10 movie theaters and a bowling alley. Cabo Wabo, a private nightclub famous for its own brand of handmade tequila, was found-

ed in 1990 by Sammy Hagar, a member of the rock group Van Halen, who named the club after the band’s 1988 hit. Cruise ships routinely stop for the day in Cabo, which is now among Mexico’s five most popular destinations.

It’s time to celebrate a new year. Good riddance to 2021, which seemed like a regurgitated, tired sequel of 2020. Here’s hoping 2022 won’t GRAMMAR GUY be 2020, too.

We’re all ready for a new year. What better way to bid adieu to the old and usher in the new but with new words! I’m talking about neologisms.

No, a neologism isn’t a word uttered

by Neo in “The Matrix” movies. In fact, a neologism is a newly coined word, expression or phrase. A neologism can also be a new use of a word. For instance, “troll” falls into the category of a new usage of a word, as its new meaning has to do with intentionally being obnoxious to someone else on the internet.

It seems as though most neologisms have to do with technology. And, because most people are practically hard-wired into our digital culture, these new expressions spread instantaneously.

You don’t have to be a Greek scholar to break down the word neologism. The Greek prefix “neo-” means “new,” and the Notice of Self Storage Sale Please take notice Prime Storage - Fishers Britton Park Rd. located at 13323 Britton Park Rd., Fishers, IN 46038 intends to hold a sale to sell the property stored at the Facility by the below list of Occupants whom are in default at a Auction.

Certain terms and conditions apply. See manager for details.

Greek word “logo” means “word.” New word. The word “neologism” came from the French word “néologisme,” which was adapted into English in the early 1800s.

In the past two years alone, we were all introduced to “contactless” food delivery as well as “contactless” payment at stores. A “quarantine baby” is a baby born during 2020 or 2021.

The Oxford English Dictionary recently named “vax” as its word of the year for 2021. Obviously, this word is a new take on “vaccine” or “vaccination.”

The year 2021 brought a new definition of “jab.” It coined the expression “Fauci ouchie.” It brought new meaning to the phrase, “Let’s all go out for shots!” Yes, the rapid growth of covidedcabulary seems to bring a new word every day. I’ve had enough of pandemic puns, or, should I say “pundemic” words?
