Roundabouts coming to 96th St.

Lights now live at roundabout

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The City of Carmel announced Feb. 15 that $43 million will be spent to update the 96th Street corridor transportation with five new roundabouts.

The biggest project, at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway, will be similar to what was done at 116th Street and Keystone Parkway, except that Keystone Parkway will be elevated over 96th Street. The project should be complete in 2018. Traffic will continue throughout construction with one lane open in each direction. Preparation work will begin in September.

Here’s what you need to know: Where will the roundabouts be?

• 96th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway, starting in fall 2017 • 96th Street and Gray Road, starting in summer 2017 • 96th Street and Delegates Row, starting in summer 2017 • 96th Street and Priority Way, starting in fall 2017 • 96th Street and Keystone Parkway, preliminary work beginning in fall 2017 How will it be funded?

The city has designated $8.5 million

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said a unique situation is the reason a traffic metering system is needed for a Carmel traffic roundabout interchange.

The system is now up and running at 136th Street and Keystone Parkway. The peak congestion occurs twice each weekday at rush hour near Carmel High School.

Brainard said the lights will trigger as traffic backs up, stopping one line of vehicles so that a longer line coming from a different direction can clear out. When the lines return to normal, the light goes back off and the roundabout functions as usual. The cost of the metering system is $88,000.

Congestion at this interchange increased after the modification of daily bus routes to the high school, which was done in large part because of changes to access at Greyhound Pass and U.S. 31. That access point was eliminated when INDOT reconfigured the interchange and ramp systems at 146th and 151st streets.

Unlike a traditional stoplight, this system will only trigger when traffic backs up.

“The lights will serve to stagger traffic

from federal exchange dollars administered through INDOT, $2 million from Hamilton County, $1.9 million in federal Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality improvement program funds and will fund the rest from local County Option Income Tax bonds.

Why isn’t Indianapolis helping to pay for these upgrades?

According to the City of Carmel, despite the fact 96th Street is shared by Carmel and Indianapolis, state law requires that cities on the north side handle all improvements.

How will businesses be affected?

City of Carmel officials have already met with many business owners and plan to meet with other groups. Neighborhood meetings are also being scheduled for surrounding areas.

flow in such a way to eliminate long backups. Once the lines are gone, the system will turn off and the roundabout will function in a normal fashion,” Brainard stated in an email.

“Roundabouts move four to five times the traffic per hour as lights, but this particular problem is because of too much traffic from one direction, for a short time, each day because of the high school.”

At this time, Brainard said it is the only interchange that needs this system.

“We do monitor all of our interchanges, intersections and roundabouts for potential problems, but none are in need of metering at this time,” Brainard said.

Referendum set for May 2

IMEA honors MTE music teacher

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • annmarie@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Clay Schools will conduct a replacement referendum vote this spring.

The CCS school board on Feb. 13 approved the special election, set for May 2.

The current referendum will expire Dec. 31, and without education a new one CCS officials have said they will be forced to cut hundreds of jobs.

“The current referendum generates $14.5 million annually for the school district,” CCS Board President Layla Spanenberg stated in a press release. “Without it we may need to cut at least 260 jobs district wide. Academic programs not required for graduation and some extracurricular sports would also be in jeopardy. This is money we simply can’t afford to lose.”

The school board is recommending a referendum rate of Spanenberg 19 cents per $100 of assessed property value, which is three cents more than the current rate. The district expects the tax rate to remain at the current rate of 83 cents, however, because it plans to retire some of its debt.

“Recognizing that state funding has not taken a turn in the positive direction for our schools and it has not dramatically improved, I appreciate how fiscally responsible the district has been retiring some debt knowing that we need to have a replacement referendum,” Spanenberg said before the unanimous vote. “Even though we still need funds, we don’t have to ask for any additional funding.”

Through the state formula, CCS is the second-lowest funded district per pupil.

It receives $786 less per student than the average school district in Indiana. Only Zionsville receives less.

More information about the replacement referendum, including more specific statistics about potential job and programming cuts, can be found on the district website, ccs.k12.in.us, under the “Referendum” tab.

Mohawk Trails Elementary School teacher Lisa Sullivan is convinced there is no greater feeling than being honored by your peers.

Achievement Sullivan recently received the 2017 Elementary Music Teacher of the Year award from the Indiana Music Education Association.

“I was a little shocked and very honored and felt very blessed,” she said.

She was presented the award at the IMEA conference in Fort Wayne in January. Following that, she was recognized by the Carmel Clay school board for the honor.

Sullivan didn’t know she was being considered.

“Someone nominates you and sends in reference letters, and then there is a committee that goes through the nominations and makes the selection,” said Sullivan, a Fishers resident.

Sullivan is an Orff Schulwerk specialist. The approach is named for the late composer Carl Orff.

Schulwerk is the German word for school work.

“It’s a process of teaching music to children that includes natural speech and language and lots of dance and movement,” Sullivan said. “The child’s natural movement comes out of their natural body movement and natural speech.”

teaching career at Mohawk Trails, holds training for teachers on the Orff approach in the summers.

Sullivan, who has been teaching the method for 22 years, said most of the Carmel elementary schools have Orff Schulwerk methods as part of their programs.

“It’s a really great way to teach, because it covers everything,” she said.

Instructing other teachers in the method makes Sullivan a familiar name in elementary music circles around the state.

“I’ve worked with IMEA for years, and years ago served as an area representative for the organization,” she said. “I chair the elementary part of the conference in January. I present a lot around the state.”

You Can Age-Proof Your Brain – At Any Age

written by Chef Wendell Fowler

“Processed foods and any foods that are hyperallergenic can take a toll on brain health,” says Medical Daily. The Journal of Clinical Investigation reported high-fat processed food consumption can damage the hypothalamus, part of the brain responsible for regulating hunger and thirst. A study in Neurology reported a high intake of trans fat is linked to brain shrinkage.

It’s never too late in life to consciously avoid or limit consuming these foods.

You can age-proof your brain at any age.

There are several diseases and injuries that can affect the brain, including meningitis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. For optimal brain health, it is recommended that people eat leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and beans, to get enough brain-friendly vitamins like Omega 3 EFA’s from nuts or fish,

B-complex, D-3, zinc and lots of nutrients from leafy green vegetables.

We know the root of all health is in the brain – so at Westminster Village North, we offer MemoryMeals – brain healthy recipes designed to slow cognitive decline.

February is Children's Dental Health Month Building beautiful smiles starts early

Avian Glen Compiled by Adam Aasen Current in Carmel is featuring different neighborhoods in Carmel. If you’d like our readers to learn more about where you live, email me at adam@youarecurrent.com.

This week I talked to Dave Morfas of the Avian Glen neighborhood association.

Neighborhood: Avian Glen Location: The neighborhood sits a half-mile south of 146th Street, a quarter-mile east of Gray Road, a mile north of Main Street and borders Hazel Dell Parkway to the east.

Size: 225 houses, approximately 700 people Makeup of residents: Working professionals range from sales executives to doctors to business owners, and there is a large contingent of stay-at-home parents. We have a healthy age diversity from people who just moved in and are starting families to empty nesters who’ve been here more than 20 years.

What makes it unique: There is both an active social climate for those who want to be involved as well as a respect for those who prefer more privacy. In both cases, it’s a very

open and welcoming community where people look out for one another. We have a neighborhood pool and tennis court. The neighborhood is connected with multiple walking paths to Cherry Tree Elementary School, allowing many to walk to school. Finally, most homes have side-load garages and sit on relatively large lots allowing for a great deal of personal space and aesthetics.

Top issues: Ensuring neighborhood safety for children, maintaining upkeep and aesthetics, ensuring homeowner value.

Traffic issues: Traffic is fairly light and mostly local. The neighborhood’s winding streets help to ensure that speeds are kept in check, which contributes to safety.

The Carmel High School girls swimming and diving team was able to quietly go about its business of winning ACHIEVEMENT this season.

In 2016, there was a buzz about the Greyhounds setting a national record for all sports by winning a 30th consecutive state championship. That created more pressure than usual.

“There wasn’t as much media attention paid and no one was coming to our pool as much,” CHS coach Chris Plumb said. “This year was about stepping up and doing what we’re capable of doing.”

Carmel captured its 31st state swimming and diving title Feb. 11 at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI in its typical dominating fashion with 386.5 points, nearly 200 more than secondplace Chesterton (189). Carmel won eight of 12 events.

“This is a really special team that came together at the right time,” Plumb said.

Carmel senior Sammie Burchill set a state record in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:56.67. It was her second straight state title in that event.

“It feels great finishing off four years,” Bur-

chill said. “It’s pretty bittersweet, but there is no other way I’d rather go out, (winning) with these girls who worked hard. As the meet went on we definitely gained momentum. We finished strong.”

In addition, Burchill was on the winning 400 freestyle relay and 200 medley relay teams and was second in the 100 backstroke.

Burchill will join her sister, 2016 CHS graduate Veronica, on the University of Georgia team next season.

“Sammie is a big-time performer,” Plumb said. “We talked about getting that record on the bus ride home last year. Sammie’s attitude has always been if (Veronica) can do it, so can I. That’s been Sammie’s attitude since I’ve known her. Veronica came here and set the state record (in the 100 butterfly in 2016) and

she wanted to do the same.”

Emma Nordin, a senior who is headed to Arizona State, captured her second straight 200 freestyle title and third 500 freestyle state championship in a row. She also was on the winning 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams.

Other CHS winners were junior Trude Rothrock (100 butterfly) and sophomore Kelly Pash (100 freestyle).

“A special story was Katie Dougherty, who hadn’t swum in this (state) meet before, came in and got second in the 500 free,” Plumb said.

“This was the first year she ever made the team. Those are the types of kids that are unheralded. They embrace the culture and do the work and they’re ready to step up when their name is called.”

Historic Torah dedicated

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Congregation Beth Shalom of Indianapolis held a special service Jan. 27 to dedicate a new Torah from the Sinai Temple faith of Marion. After 80 years of services, Sinai Temple has closed and gifted its Torah to CBS. The Torah contains the Law of Moses and the basic guidelines of Judaism. This specific Torah is significant to CBS because Rabbi Alexander D. Goode – one of the legendary Four Chaplains – used it during his time as a student rabbi at Sinai Temple from 1936 to 1937.

“We were looking for a Torah that was smaller and one that we could handle a little bit better,” CBS Rabbi Stanley Halpern said.

“The fact that Rabbi Goode, (used this) that that was his congregation, just to me brought home that this was just meant for us.”

Goode is one of the Four Chaplains who died when German U-boats sank the U.S.A.T Dorchester in 1943. All four Army chaplains ¬– Goode, Rev. George Fox, Rev. John Washington and Rev. Clark Poling – came from different religious backgrounds, but they worked together to save as many lives as possible before giving up their own life jackets for others.

KITCHEN AND BATH SEMINAR

“To those from the congregation that have a link to the military, the fact that it was in that way a Four Chaplain Torah meant everything,” Halpern said. “We were just thrilled.”

Halpern commemorates the Four Chaplains every year to remind the congregation of its goal and how the chaplains’ story is the perfect representation of that.

“It’s something that’s been part of Reform Judaism forever,” he said. “If we work together we can make the world into what we want it to be, rather than what it is.”

CBS holds services the second and fourth Friday of every month in Carmel at University High School, 2825 W. 116th St.

Community invited to pray

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com A Carmel church is offering its sanctuary from noon to 1 p.m. each day through Easter to anyone in the community who faith wants to pray. Orchard Park Presbyterian Church aims to give community members a place to find peace from the pressures and anxieties of daily life.

“This idea came from the feeling of being inundated by the news, social media and Wood the overwhelming feeling, I think, we all have been feeling, regardless of our perspective on the issues,” said Rev. Shelly Wood, senior pastor at Orchard Park.

“It’s tempting to want to shut down and turn off the news, but we still want to be informed and involved. So the idea of stopping to pray as a community was a way to remind people to get out of their anxiety, or anger, or frustration and turn to God.” Wood said the idea for the call to prayer was to put people before politics.

“The people in the pews are all just people.

So we work to put people before politics. We know that no matter what, if our neighbor

was in need, we would be a neighbor, regardless of their political ilk,” Wood said. “There are a lot of opinions out there as to what the church’s role should be, and I think fundamentally the church should be a place that models a sacred community, and sacred communities pray together, welcome the stranger and love their neighbors.”

But she said it all begins with prayer.

“If we aren’t praying for each other and together, and if we are not relying on God to guide us, we are like a ship without an anchor,” Wood said.

Wish granted

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Junior Bella Simons has been a big supporter of the Dance Marathon for as long as she’s been at Carmel High School, but cover story this year it will be different.

The Feb. 25 event is a fundraiser for Riley Hospital for Children, the same place that Simons credits with saving her life after doctors discovered two brain tumors.

Not only will Simons attend the Dance Marathon with a new sense of gratitude, but she will also share her story with attendees, as she has many times in central Indiana since being named a 2017 Riley Champion. Simons and the seven other champions speak at events across the state, sharing how Riley helped them and explaining how people can support its mission.

“Having a brain tumor is something so traumatic. It’s hard to imagine anything good could come out of it,” Simons said. “But to know that I’ve inspired people and that I’ve helped Riley Hospital, it’s just an amazing feeling.”

Kate Burnett, senior communications officer of the Riley Children’s Foundation, said the foundation selected Simons as a Riley Champion because of her volunteer work and eagerness to help others in need.

“No one can truly tell a story like a Riley family can tell a story, because they’re the ones that have been through the experiences,” Burnett said.

“Bella will attend events throughout the state, serving as one of our ambassadors.”

The darkest days

The few memories Simons has of her sophomore year are a mix of conflicting emotions. Experiencing her earliest symptoms on the first day of school, Simons learned in October 2015 she had a golf ball-sized tumor near the part of her brain that controls short-term memory. During surgery the next day, doctors discovered a second tumor.

Doctors drained one tumor and sent Simons to Chicago for six weeks of daily proton beam radiation. In February 2016, she learned that one tumor was gone but the other was significantly bigger.

Her family reluctantly began scheduling another brain surgery, but the tumor finally began to shrink just before she would have had a second operation.

Although the family was thrilled that the tumor collapsed on its own, they were concerned about its effect on Simons’ short-term memory. She had

trouble remembering anything that had recently occurred and would ask the same questions repeatedly.

Simons began nearly two months of hyperbaric oxygen treatments in August 2016 to help with her memory loss, and to everyone’s relief, it worked.

She still has a difficult time remembering much of her sophomore year, but she clearly recalls how her Christian faith and network of friends and family helped pull her through her darkest days.

“Initially it was just so scary, and I didn’t know how I could ever possibly make it through something so terrifying,” Simons said. “My teachers, my friends and my church were so incredibly amazing to me. I just feel so lucky to have such a supportive community.”

Back to normal

Now that the tumors are no longer causing problems, Simons is back in school full-time, and she couldn’t be happier.

Bella Simons found comfort from her brother, Matt, during her time in the hospital.

“You don’t really realize how valuable being normal is,” she said. “It took awhile before the struggle of homework and tests set in, but I’m really glad to be back. It’s just amazing to remember what normal feels like and to be a part of my school again.”

And part of that “normal” experience is going to the Dance Marathon, which she missed last year while recovering from radiation. Simons has set up a personal fundraising page at goo.gl/4mCnh8, and she hopes to raise at least $1,000.

Simons’ spotlight role in this year’s Dance Marathon, the largest in the nation organized by a high school, may not be one she ever planned to take, but she’s eager to educate her classmates about Riley and her new outlook on life.

“I don’t want to spend any more time fighting with my brother or worrying about my hair,” she said. “I just want to spend my time living life and appreciating the people around me, not taking anything for granted, because one day it could all be gone.”

Bella Simons has many dark memories from her battle with two brain tumors, but one week in June 2016 stands out as a bright spot that she will always treasure.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation arranged for Simons and her family to spend a week in Hawaii, and it was a much-needed chance to relax and reconnect after spending many weeks apart during treatment.

The trip is still having positive effects, even eight months later.

“When I’m at doctor’s appointments or I have an MRI and I’m kind of scared, I just think back to Hawaii and how the sun felt on my skin and the smell of the air with just a hint of sea salt, and I’m just immediately happy,” she said. “It’s just the best feeling.”

Because of their positive experience, the Simons family is working to grant a wish for another student at CHS. The student wants to travel to England, and the Simons’ are doing everything they can to make it happen.

“God has been so gracious with us, and I feel really blessed in spite of it being a hard time,” said Tasha Simons, Bella’s mother.

“Being able to pay it forward is something our family is really excited about.”

A N O T HER VIEWPOINT

Unsolicited advice is best unspoken

Gas tax hike will be helpful

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s easy to say we should look for spending cuts in our current budget to fund our infrastructure needs, but the fact is that after 12 years of sound fiscal leadership, our state budget is about as lean as it can get.

We have 20 percent fewer state employees than we had when Gov. Mitch Daniels took office in 2005. And more than half of our current state budget goes to K-12 Education, so any significant increase in spending for infrastructure would likely result in less funding available for public education. We do have about $2 billion in reserves, but that equates to less than 60 days of state spending. That amount is intended to help us through an economic downturn, so spending it down significantly is not prudent. And it contributes to our AAA bond rating, which saves local governments hundreds of millions of dollars. The proposed tax increases in HB 1002 will cost the average Hoosier driver just $5.25 per month. We’re already known as the Crossroads of America, and I believe that the proposed improvements in our state infrastructure will be a great economic development incentive that eventually will increase state tax revenue. I believe the return on investment will more than offset the small contribution that we are looking for from Hoosier taxpayers. It’s a small sacrifice in comparison to the significant tax cuts that House Republicans have spearheaded over the last decade including, among others, significant cuts in the property tax, reducing the personal income tax, elimination of the inheritance tax, and a host of business tax cuts that save consumers money.

Will we need a super substitute?

Commentary by Terry Anker The Super Bowl is now behind us. Plays have been made, heroes elevated and shadows cast. The football history books have been adjusted. The wags have had their chance to comment — and comment some more. The T-shirts have been printed, distributed and sold. The commercials have been seen — and seen, and seen. Regardless of one’s favorite in the big game, few can argue that it did not deliver. It was exciting to the end. It zigged and zagged. It lived up to its hype. Even the halftime show met its lofty buildup!

But now that the nacho sauce has been cleaned from the davenport, and the beer cans recycled, many have already started planning for next year. A bigger TV? Perhaps.

Maybe we won’t invite the in-laws again.

Maybe we must. The food, the sofa, the guest list — all are being considered and reconsidered. Who will play almost doesn’t matter. Sure, it would be best if our own Indianapolis Colts took the field. Certainly,

they will give their all to take us there. But regardless, most of us will gather again with friends, food and a television to commune with the football world.

It is a tradition. We remember the good times, and bad, from years past. We relive our experiences together and bond in our common memories. Yet, football, like everything, has its detractors. Legitimate concerns are being raised about concussion risks and a variety of other matters. Some indications are that young kids are not taking up the sport, preferring instead soccer or other activities. Will it still captivate our attention and dominate the ratings in the years to come? Who knows? If not, will we find a super substitute for a super tradition?

As long as we are doing it together, whatever the game, we can learn the rules.

A few days ago, my neighbor shared that someone — some awful, mean-spirited woman — criticized her parenting ... to her humor face! How dare you, ma’am! And so I am forced to remind us all of the seldom-discussed but no less critical rules of mom-to-mom communication. Please take note.

• Never express your true feelings about another parent’s choices directly to that person. Vent it out with your spouse or best gal pal, but keep that schtick locked down until you’re back at the house.

Unless she solicits advice, I promise she does not want a lecture on why “breast is best” or any of that other Nazi-lactation stuff while she’s barely hanging on thanks to Similac. What’s good for your family may not be good for hers.

• Before you speak, put yourself in her position. Remember the days of no sleep and endless diapers and 24/7 anxiety over going back to work vs. staying home? None of us can think rationally when we’re hopped up on caffeine and internet tales of “How Working Moms Produce Serial Killers.” Let Rule No. 1 be your mantra, and then ask if there’s anything you can do to help.

• Recognize that all families have different needs that must be met for them to function even a tad bit normally. For some, it’s ensuring only organic food hits the table, while for others, canned spaghetti makes a perfectly nice sit-down dinner. As long as the kids are eating something, the sun will rise tomorrow!

Bottom line? Homeschooling, helicopter parenting, Harvard-tracking in preschool ... these are decisions every mom has the right to make without your consent! Unless a choice directly harms you or your kid, zip it.

Peace out.

REA D ERS ’ V I E W S Welcome to the Trumpster fire a few years as an art director and editorial cartoonist for a small twice-weekly newspaper in Texas.

Before that, I was the staff illustrator and editorial cartoonist at my college newspaper. Now I am a chief marketing officer.

I crank out a poster or an editorial cartoon every couple of years to stay in shape – or when the circumstances are so overwhelming as to require me to issue some sort of response.

Edward Robinson, Carmel

Another thing to love about Carmel Editor, I enjoyed your 10 Non-Political Things to Love About Carmel article in Current in Carmel, and I agree with all of them. I know you probably could have come up with an even larger list as well but just wanted to point out that the Carmel Clay Public Library is another nonpolitical entity in our city that is beloved by many, many residents, and we are open to everyone.

Even if you don't live in Clay Township, you can still attend programs, use one of our public computers (or bring your own and use our free wifi), find a quiet corner to read, get

assistance from our professional librarians and staff and even get recommendations for books you might like to read based on your reading interests. If you are a resident and have a library card, you have access to even more great resources, both print and digital.

Getting a library card is easy and quick.

Public libraries are open to everyone, and we welcome everyone. We are a true community gathering place and a center for lifelong learning – not to mention an enjoyable place to visit.

Why is MetroNet digging?

Editor, What’s the real reason the City of Carmel is allowing MetroNet to dig in our neighborhoods?

1. Is it a legal mandate?

2. Is it market-driven?

3. Is it for budget pain relief?

4. Who will benefit the most? The local ground squirrels?

I think the ground squirrels. What do you think?

Sale won’t affect occupants

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com The recent sale of the Hamilton Crossing Office Park, which included the headquarters of the now defunct ITT office park Educational Services, shouldn’t affect current occupants, according to the deal’s broker, CBRE Group.

“Part of what makes a sale attractive to investors is a well-occupied building,” said Dan Richardson, a senior vice president at CBRE’s Richardson Indianapolis office. “They want to keep the current tenants and fill any vacancies.”

Located on 44 acres along US 31 between Carmel Drive and Main Street, five buildings in the office park were sold by Duke Realty to New York-based Group RMC. The sixth building, which housed ITT, was purchased by an affiliate of Group RMC. “Hamilton Crossing is consistently one of the best-occupied office parks in Indianapolis,” Richardson said. “It’s one of the best located developments in the prestigious Meridian Corporate Corridor, and its tenant roster is filled with multiple blue-chip corporations and

prestigious professional firms.”

Additional tenants for the office park, which is 88 percent full, will most likely be sought by Group RMC, according to Richardson.

The sale also is beneficial to Carmel, Richardson said.

“You always want to have a community people are interested in investing in,” he said.

“Carmel has solid market fundamentals and is a premiere submarket for suburban office space.”

Hamilton Crossing is the fourth Indianapolis suburban office acquisition for Group RMC. The company now owns 1.87 million square feet, making it the largest owner of suburban office space in Indianapolis.

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre to offer two new mini camps

Camp Invention connects children to science, inventors

Commentary by Civic Theatre’s education programs director, Holly Stults Haas

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com

Jr. Civic at Civic Theatre is gearing up for another great summer. Musical Theatre Camp is a favorite, and with two brand new camps, Civic has something for any kid ages 3-14. We are excited to offer two new mini camps for our preschool-aged and kindergarten friends.

BROADWAY BABY CAMP Broadway Baby Camp gives our 3- and 4-year-olds a chance to shine and explore the world of musical theater and story telling.

Music and movement is also a part of this camp, allowing for them to move and groove while using their imagination. This camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

SUPERHERO STORIES Superhero Stories also is a new mini camp for us. In this camp, each child will create their very own superhero and bring that character to life. Will capes be involved?

Most likely! We have no doubt that the 5- and 6-year-olds in this camp will create amazing adventures. Superhero Stories Camp runs Monday-Thursday June 19-22, and July 24-27.

Camp Invention, a program by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, will offer week-long sessions for kids beginning in June.

“Camp Invention connects children to inventors who changed the world, and enhances the scientific knowledge base of participants,” said Ashley Miller, media coordinator at the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame. “The program hooks children and gives them high-energy, hands-on, innovative fun, while presenting them with challenges that emphasize STEM, collaboration and entrepreneurship through innovation.”

This year, Camp Invention will host its newest program, Launch. The Launch program will feature four science-based modules. Module 1, Duct Tape Billionaire, helps students explore patents, launch a business and present their products to mock investors. Module 2, Mission Space Makers, takes children on a quest to locate and prepare a new plant for human habitations, while designing inventions to transform the atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem of an exo-

Jungle Jams returns to Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Lisa Colleen’s Jungle Jams will be making an encore summer camp performance at the Tarkington.

“It’s a lot of percussion. We call it moving and grooving,” Colleen said. “We do a lot of free movement, and there is dancing with scarves.

Then we bring in percussion instruments. Last year we introduced them to mandolin, the violin and the guitar. It depends who my helpers are and what instruments we bring in.”

For the second consecutive year, the Center for the Performing Arts will hold Jungle Jams as a summer camp June 12 through 16 at the Tarkington in Carmel. Colleen said the target age range is 4 to 6 years old for the camp, which will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m.

“Every day they learn about a life skill, and the animals each represent that life skill,” Colleen said.

So one day she might tell the kids a story about a zebra named Zeke.

“He represents that it’s cool to be unique,” Colleen said. “So all the zebras look the same but their stripes are all different, just like our thumbprints are all different. Every day I make sure they learn something either about teamwork or celebrating differences or celebrating

your uniqueness.”

Julia Shildmyer-Heighway, the center’s community engagement manager, said Jungle Jams was first a one-day class series. Impressed by the class, Shildmyer-Heighway invited Colleen to make it a camp.

“Each day there is a story and craft activity, and they make an instrument to take home,” Shildmyer-Heighway said.

Colleen is a former Carmel resident who now lives in Geist.

There is a maximum of 20 participants. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Summer U: Summer camps at University High School will host two three-week sessions. The first sessions will take place June 12-30, and the second session takes place July 10-28.

According to summer programs coordinator Maggie Becker, costs vary by class, but an average one-week camp costs $150.

Becker said UHS strives to be a community resource for more than only UHS students and welcomes students of all ages to use the programs.

“Most of the content is geared toward middle school students, but if you’re a fourth-grader who is especially passionate about Minecraft or Mandarin, we would welcome you in the program,” Becker said.

According to Becker, Summer U Becker covers everything from study skills to computer science and programming, and theatre to creative writing.

“What’s special about Summer U is that it combines the fun of a traditional day camp with the engaged learning approach and world-class teachers that University High School is known for. Campers who spend their summer with us get a true enrichment experience in a fun, laid-back high school environment,” Becker said.

New to Summer U this year, the camp will offer a film camp, a yoga camp taught by a certified yoga instructor and a Raspberry Pi class for coding campers. The camp also will have extended hours.

“Every day is different at Summer U, and that’s the beauty of it. One thing all of our

“Campers get to use computers, art supplies, cameras and even a 3-D printer. Last year, one group of campers used the 3-D printer to build a to-scale model of Fairbanks Hall.”

Zionsville teacher creates camp based on Minecraft

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Video game lovers are invited to join Indy Stem Camps this summer to venture into the world of Minecraft.

Matt Mulholland, a veteran physics teacher at Zionsville Community High School, founded Indy Stem Camps three years ago. He created Indy Stem Camps to target first through eighth-graders and focus on STEM, science, technology, engineering and math.

“There’s a big push in educational circles to try to encourage kids to go into STEM-related fields,” Mulholland said.

He noticed his own kids were constantly playing Minecraft, which inspired him to learn more about the game and see if he could develop a curriculum around it.

“I realized at that point I was on to something. There was a way that I could help kids learn STEM in the context of a game they already love to play. It was a win-win situation,” he said.

Mulholland calls Minecraft “the ultimate sandbox game,” meaning the kids can produce anything without limitation. At the camp, kids

play in a secure server so they only have access to two worlds in Minecraft.

There are seven options for Minecraft camps, each with its own curriculum and goals. Mulholland also leads camps about bridge building, catapult building, robotics and more.

The camps are held for three hours each day over five days at Zionsville High School, University High School and Cathedral High School. Kids can attend the morning or afternoon session, or both. Fees vary depending on the type of camp and location.

Students are split into groups based on experience level, and the staff follows the U.S Sailing programs to tailor lessons to each group. The camp incorporates on-the-water instruction as well as games, rain or shine.

The camp is designed in weekly sessions.

Michelle Sarber, junior sailing coordinator, said they organized it this way so that after the first week, kids can decide if they are interested enough to come back for the entirety of camp. Sarber suggests completing all six weeks in order to truly feel comfortable sailing.

“Sailing is a lifelong skill,” Sarber said. “It’s one of those things that you may not be able to play soccer all your life or football, but you can sail.”

The staff also runs a weekly ranking program, which consists of a verbal and on-

Touchstone Energy Camp offers unique opportunity

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Touchstone Energy Camp has many aspects of a normal outdoor summer camp but with a twist.

“We select up to three students to go to the camp free of charge at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston,” said Mandy Saucerman, Boone REMC communications and marketing specialist.

The camp, which started in 2002, is designed for students entering the seventh grade in the fall of 2017. The students are selected from a group of applications. The students’ households must receive electricity from Boone REMC. Along with serving Boone County, Boone REMC serves parts of Clinton, Hamilton, Hendricks, and Montgomery counties. Boone RMC is a nonprofit electric utility cooperative.

“It’s the traditional summer camp type of experience,” Saucerman said. “They get to go horseback riding, zip-lining, swimming, rock

climbing, archery, canoeing, all that fun stuff.

Then mixed in with that to make it more of an energy camp, we’ve got activities for them to learn about electrical safety, and the importance of that as well as renewable energy sources, and how all that works, and why it’s important. They get the opportunity to test out what it’s like to be an electric lineman by climbing a pole and going up in a bucket truck and things like that.”

The overnight camp will be held June 7-10.

The campers spend three nights in the cabins and get picked up the morning of June 10.

“The counselors are employees of the electric cooperatives,” Saucerman said. “So they get to learn a little bit more about careers in the electric cooperative industry.”

About 135 campers from around the state that attend the camp.

Applications forms are available at bremc. com/community/youth-programs/. The application deadline is Feb. 24.

Tips & Tricks for a “Stress-Free” Kitchen Renovation

By David Decker Let’s face it, the kitchen is the most used room in the house, so being forced to live without it during a renovation can be stressful and difficult. Following these 5 simple steps can help calm some of those renovation jitters.

Do a little “Spring Cleaning” A kitchen renovation is the perfect time to purge. While packing up everything in the existing cabinets, consider getting rid of some of the items that haven’t been used in a while. Be sure the countertops are clear of small appliances and remove anything from the room that may get in the way during the renovation.

Be Prepared Be sure all details like cabinet hardware, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and electrical locations to name a few, of the renovation have been finalized. All materials should be on site and ready for installation. Living in a disorderly house during a renovation is stressful enough, having to make last minute decisions can cause more frustration and delays.

Create a Temporary Kitchen If space allows, create a make-shift kitchen somewhere else in the home complete with

a miniature refrigerator, microwave, & other small appliances that are typically used on a daily basis. Put that Crock Pot to good use and consider buying disposal plates, bowls, cups, & utensils.

Communication is Key Stay in constant communication with the Project Manager & Designer throughout the entire project. Ask questions! Don’t be afraid to speak up if something doesn’t look right.

Mistakes happen, it’s better to catch them right away rather than having to fix them when the project is near completion.

See the Big Picture Okay, yes – even by following these steps the renovation may still be stressful. Things will go wrong. There may be unexpected mechanicals in a wall that is being removed, a cabinet door may be damaged, or an installer may get sick and be unable to work

that day. These mishaps may be inconvenient, but REMEMBER THE BIG PICTURE. Take a deep breath and know these problems will be resolved and in the end, you will get your dream kitchen.

At The Affordable Companies, we strive to make every renovation as smooth and convenient as possible. Our knowledgeable design and production team work with you every step of the way to ensure a worry-free renovation.

Dirty Heads continue partnership with hair salon

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com The Dirty Heads, an alt-rock, hip-hop and reggae band, hail from and reside in California but have deep ties to Indiana. profile The Dirty Heads are co-owners of the local salon Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in Carmel. Their band manager, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang salon co-founder, Mike “Cheez” Brown, offered the investment opportunity to the band in 2014.

The Dirty Heads frequent the Hamilton County area during tours, for band meetings and to check in on the salons.

Artist Jared Watson said managing the Dirty Heads began as a passion project for Brown, and the band manager didn’t take a commission for the first five years as the band developed.

“If that’s not showing you trust and loyalty, I don’t know what is,” Watson said.

Watson gained financial success through performing but decided to secure that success Jared Watson premiered his by investing in new project, Swordbeach, at Kiss Kiss Bang the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 10th Anniversary Holiday After-ParBang Salon.

Because of ty concert presented by WZPL Jan. 21. (Submitted photo) the success of the salon, Watson said the investment was low-risk and high-reward.

“The music industry and being in a band is very fickle,” Watson said. “The security isn’t there.”

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of KKBB Salon, Watson premiered his new project, Swordbeach, Jan. 21 at Old National Centre for the KKBB 10th Anniversary Holiday After-Party.

According to Watson, Swordbeach is a mash-up of ‘90s hip hop nostalgia, alternative singer/songwriter and 2020 sci-fi.

“The timing was right to do it now,” Watson said.

Watson said he is as passionate about Swordbeach as he is about the Dirty Heads.

Watson developed all of the anime-inspired artwork for the project and will be releasing a new song each month for the next five months.

Curious what the usual process is regarding appointments, designs and scheduling for outdoor living spaces?

HARDSCAPES Let this serve as a general overview.

INITIAL CONTACT Interested clients are encouraged to have a live conversation with a few firms to share initial thoughts regarding their outdoor living space. Referrals are preferred, but not necessary. Emails and texts simply don’t offer enough clarity to determine that the skill sets and personalities are a thrilling match.

Request an appointment, often complimentary, at your place where more specific visioning can happen, walk the property, share photos/Houzz/Pinterest boards as well as exploring the budget.

DESIGN/PROPOSAL Presuming the initial meeting flows well and a comfortable relationship exists with agreed upon material palette, budget thoughts and timelines, developing a formal design is likely the next step. Expect to pay for a design and expect a diverse range of fees. A few firms are design-only, offer an unbiased per-

spective and generally will charge a larger fee.

You will then own the design and are free to proceed as you wish. Most installation firms will charge a more modest design fee but will require that they complete the installation for that design. Occasionally an on-site sketch can be quickly accomplished, again for a small fee. I would encourage that the design also be coupled with a cost proposal detailing the materials, phases and options.

AGREEMENT/PAYMENT Amazing how fluid these conversations have become post-Great Recession. It encouraged homeowners and firms to bring this conversation to the relevancy it deserves. Expect the agreement and payment frequency/complexity to reflect the scope of the project.

This sterile summary should not reflect your outdoor living space. Let it be brilliant and reflective of how you hope to enjoy it.

Hope that helps and let the spring frenzy begin!

Yacht Harbor in Antalya, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Antalya: World-class resort city Commentary by Don Knebel When Americans think of cities in Turkey, most probably don’t picture a cosmopolitan seaside resort featuring a harbor travel once used by the Romans. But Antalya, the fastest growing city in Turkey with a population of more than 1 million, meets that description.

Antalya was founded on the Mediterranean coast of what is now Turkey in about 150 B.C.

by King Attalos II of Pergamon. Attalos based his powerful navy in Antalya’s natural harbor.

When Antalya came under control of the Roman Empire in 133 B.C., Roman fleets continued to use the harbor. By the first century, Antalya was a thriving port city, attracting people from around the Mediterranean. In about 45 A.D., the Apostle Paul and his companion Barnabas visited Antalya during their first missionary journey. A visit to Antalya by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D. was commemorated by a three-opening ceremonial gate that still leads to the ancient walled city center adjoining the harbor. For much of its history, Antalya was not closely connected

with the surrounding areas and developed as a unique multicultural city, attracting Jews, Christians and Muslims alike to its beautiful beaches and flourishing commercial district.

Since the 1970s, the Turkish government has developed Antalya into a world-class resort city, with luxurious hotels available at remarkably low rates stretching along its long beach front. Although the government has closed Antalya’s hotel casinos, alcohol is still available to foreign visitors, more than 12 million of whom come each year to what has become known as the Turkish Riviera. Visitors wanting more than sun and sand crowd the shops in Kaleiçi, the historic city center near what is now Antalya’s yacht harbor. So prevalent (some would use other words) are Russian tourists in Antalya that some hotels proudly advertise that they are not popular with the Russians.

2. Peanut butter – even organic brands need a touch of sugar or salt to keep them fresh 3. Pickles – the fermentation process requires salt or vinegar as a preservative 4. Jam and jelly – require benzoic acid to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.
