Carmel BZA tables vote on variances for The GOAT expansion

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals is giving The GOAT tavern another month to work with Carmel’s Dept. of Community Services to address several issues before voting on several variance requests. The BZA tabled the matter to CITY NEWS March 22 during its Feb. 22 virtual meeting.

The GOAT filed plans with the city to add restrooms and a covered outdoor seating area, but BZA members said they’d like to see more evidence The GOAT can be a good neighbor before considering plans for a $500,000 expansion project.

The tavern, which opened in the summer of 2020, replaced Bub’s Cafe, which obtained a variance in 2006 to operate in a residentially zoned area. The variance only allowed the restaurant to operate from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., which city planners overlooked when approving plans for The GOAT. After the tavern opened in the summer of 2020, city officials began receiving a variety of complaints from The GOAT’s neighbors, who said its patrons were noisy into early morning hours, littered in the surrounding area and trespassed to urinate on private property.

The repeated complaints prompted Mayor Jim Brainard in December 2020 to order The GOAT to abide by the Bub’s Cafe variance and close its doors by 2 p.m., but within days The GOAT owner Kevin Paul agreed to a list of commitments that would allow him to operate the tavern with expanded hours. Those commitments expired Feb. 25, but Paul and the department of community services agreed at the BZA’s request to extend them for a month.

The BZA received feedback for and against the variances from approximately 60 people and did not permit a remonstrator who wished to speak during the February meeting the opportunity to do so.

BZA members said they would support Paul’s plans to add restrooms, but they want to build trust with The GOAT before taking a look at the other variance requests.

“The challenge that I have with this proposal is it is what I consider to be a can of worms, and the can of worms was built for an occupancy of 80 people,” BZA member Leo Dierckman said. “I don’t think we should grow that can of worms until the owner has demonstrated (he) can manage that business.”

Dierckman said he wants to see The GOAT stay open and that he’s seen evidence Paul has been working to address the issues in recent months.

Paul, who also owns Danny Boy Beer Works and The Brockway Pub, said he is willing to move slowly with plans to expand The GOAT. “We want to continue to prove we have a handle on things and improve operations and be an asset to the community instead of someone’s angst,” he said.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council is conducting an investigation into a harassment allegation against former city attorney Doug CITY NEWS Haney, who resigned from the position in December 2020.

Several sources with knowledge of the investigation confirmed that an employee of the law department filed a complaint against Haney, which eventually led to his resignation.

Haney Carmel City Councilor Laura Campbell, who served as council president in 2020, confirmed that she launched an investigation of a city employee last fall but declined to provide specific details. She released a statement addressing the investigation on Feb. 23.

“Last November I was made aware of a very disturbing employee complaint that had been pending for months and not resolved. I began an investigation into the matter as provided by the Indiana Code. I notified the council of this investigation in December. The investigation seeks to determine whether city of Carmel written policies regarding employees’ complaints have been adhered to in this instance,” Campbell stated.

“As a council, we are working to help the city create and maintain a safe environment where employees are treated with dignity and respect, and that the city policies in place are followed consistently to allow employees to get a fair resolution of their complaint in a timely manner.”

Campbell declined to comment further because of the confidential nature of the complaint, but sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed Haney as the target of the investigation.

The city council planned to review an ordinance at its March 1 meeting outlining the council’s investigatory powers.

Current has reached out to Mayor Jim Brainard and the City of Carmel for comment. Attempts to reach Haney were not successful.

In an unrelated matter, Haney is a defendant in a federal lawsuit filed in 2018 by Carmel resident Gary Brooks, who has difficulty forming new memories. According to court records, Brooks claimed Haney became aggressive on two occasions when Brooks attempted to use a video recorder to document interactions in City Hall. A trial has been set for June.

Mayor wants online system for art submissions

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard knows a lot of residents aren’t big fans of the city’s newest sculpture, “Morning CITY NEWS Sun,” which was recently installed on Range Line Road near The Proscenium.

He doesn’t love it, either, as he told participants in a Feb. 11 virtual town hall meeting hosted by Carmel City Councilor Jeff Worrell.

The mayor makes the Brainard final decision on public art after consulting with professionals and the city’s art advisory committee, so he’s open to hearing feedback of all kinds.

“If somebody thinks we really made a mistake, I’m willing to take the blame or praise for that,” Brainard said. “Somebody elected needs to be responsible, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of input.”

Brainard said he plans to launch a new system for artists to submit their work online to be considered as public art in Carmel.

“We think that will attract artists from all over, as well as a lot of good local artists,” Brainard said. “We may get some things we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise for the community.”

Brainard said he looks forward to starting the process of creating the system, which is expected to launch in 2022.

Until then, he said he’s willing to accept suggestions from the community on future public art installations or even moving those already in place.

“Isn’t it wonderful the community is talking about art?” he said. “Other places are talking about why they have potholes in their roads.”

Colbert, Patterson run for Hamilton County Democratic Party chair

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dayna Colbert is convinced her slate of candidates is stronger as a unit.

Colbert, a 31-year-old FishPOLITICS ers resident, heads a slate of candidates who are running together as HamCo United for the Hamilton County Democratic Central Committee’s four positions. Colbert, president of the Hamilton County Young Democrats since August 2017, Colbert is running for chair, which is vacated by Joe Weingarten, 76, who is retiring.

Kevin Patterson, a Carmel resident, is running against Colbert for the chair. Heather Hilbert, a Westfield resident, is running for vice chair on the two-person slate.

The other candidates in the HamCoUnited slate are Ronnie Saunders, Westfield, vice chair; Sarah Russell Goddard,

Noblesville, secretary; and Al Moore, Carmel, treasurer.

“We wanted to run together so we could have really good representation for the county,” Colbert said. “I think we are stronger with this slate with diverse backgrounds. We come from different walks of life and bring different perspectives.”

Saunders ran for State Senate District 20 in 2020. Goddard is a health care advocate and Moore is former Decatur County chair.

The precinct committee persons will cast ballots by mail with the vote to be determined March 6.

Patterson Patterson has some concrete ideas how to keep the Democratic Party moving forward in Hamilton County.

“After spending almost a year as the (Hamilton County Democratic) Party’s treasurer, I realized for our party to be successful over the next four years we needed significant change,” said Patterson, who also serves as president of

Carmel Democratic Club. “We are currently lacking the basic fundraising and organizational tools for our county’s growing Democrat base. I began working immediately on creating a database that would handle the county’s membership, recruitment and fundraising efforts but unfortunately was unable to get the authorization to implement these new tools. I decided the only way I could affect real change is by running for the county party’s chair position.”

The Central Committee serves as the executive branch at the county level.

“We would coordinate elections and appoint precinct committee people who help find the poll workers,” Colbert said. “We work with any election issues that come up. The committee appoints a person to be our representative on the county elections board. In addition, the party looks to volunteers to help expand our message. We’re looking to connect volunteers and give them resources, giving candidates resources as well.”

Keyes has background in disability rights

State’s COVID-19 metrics mixed

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Indiana officials lauded the state’s success in decreasing weekly COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and posPANDEMIC itivity rates. But they are concerned by new COVID-19 variants, the number of COVID-19 deaths reported in recent weeks and the upcoming NCAA men’s basketball tournament, which will be played entirely in Indiana.

Holcomb As of Feb. 23, the Indiana State Dept. of Health reported a weekly moving average of 949 COVID-19 cases on its coronavirus dashboard, coronavirus.in.gov.

The state hadn’t reported a moving average below 1,000 since September 2020. COVID-19 hospitalizations also declined, with 886 patients on Feb. 23, another statistic not seen since late September.

Moreover, the state’s seven-day average positivity rate declined from 16 percent Jan. 4 to 4.1 percent Feb. 16, the lowest percentage since the state began tracking the metric in March 2020. Several counties have reported fewer cases and lower positivity rates in recent weeks, resulting in lowering their level on the state’s color-coded advisory map.

Although many of the state’s key metrics have declined, COVID-19 deaths, new virus variants and the upcoming NCAA men’s basketball tournament are concerns for state health officials.

In the seven days prior to Feb. 24, 215 COVID-19 deaths were reported. In total, nearly 12,000 COVID-19 deaths have been reported in Indiana, and another 428 have been listed as probable COVID-19 deaths.

State health officials say diligent mitigation efforts are still needed to curb deaths and prevent the spread of more infectious variants.

“The virus continues to mutate, which creates more unknowns,” Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said during a Feb. 24 virtual press briefing.

“Indiana now has 16 cases of the U.K. variant strain. While the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have good efficacy against this variant, it is not as effective against some of the others that are emerging around the world.”

The City of Carmel’s newest member of the advisory committee on disability has an extensive background.

Melissa Keyes has been CITY NEWS the executive director for Indiana Disability Rights since November 2019. She started as the legal director for the organization in January 2014.

“I have been working in and around the disability Keyes community in various roles for over 20 years,” said Keyes, who recently attended her first Carmel committee meeting. “I have done work at the national and state level, and as a resident, I wanted to participate at the local level. As a person with my own struggles, as a parent, and as a professional in this field, I felt my perspective would be beneficial and that I could have an impact on this community.”

Keyes has attention-deficit disorder, as does her 6-year-old son.

“In college and law school is when I first decided to seek help for what I was experiencing,” she said. “I tried medication and different coping strategies. But it was still very stigmatized. No one wants to be an attorney that identifies as having ADD or anything like that. As I figured out what I need to be successful, I realized it’s more of just a different way of thinking and different way of processing. I didn’t want my son to grow up thinking he had to be ashamed or embarrassed about needing help or that he thinks through things and processes things a different way. At the end of the day, we all need help in some form or another.”

She said she wants her son to embrace his unique qualities and not feel he has anything to hide.

“He’s a unique thinker and he’s very bright,” Keyes said. “He has a lot of creativity.”

Keyes, who moved to Carmel from Indianapolis in 2018, earned her master’s degree in clinical rehabilitation psychology from IUPUI in 2007. She graduated from the Indiana University School of Law in 2011.

Carmel preparing for gradual return of in-person events

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After enduring a year of cancellations and postponements, the City of Carmel is planning a “robust calendar of CITY NEWS events” for 2021, according to Nancy Heck, Carmel’s director of community relations and economic development.

Some of the events — especially those in the coming months — will look different than years past, Heck but by summer Heck hopes many annual traditions will begin to restore a sense of normalcy for Carmel residents.

“People do miss their community events,” Heck said. “There’s something about the dynamic of live performance. It’s the same thing as the difference between watching your favorite band on your huge flatscreen at home and being in the audience and the energy you get from everybody that’s there at that event and that shared experience.

There’s nothing that can replace that.”

The following highlights some of the events set to return and what they could look like in 2021.

Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony Set for noon April 16, this year’s Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony is likely to be a fully virtual affair.

The event is planned to be livestreamed from the Palladium, but Heck said her team is prepared to pre-record the program if needed or open the facility to a limited number of attendees, depending on community COVID-19 levels at the time.

Heck said the livestream will be available to view after the program and that the city plans to continue offering the service for most of its events going forward.

“We have gotten really good at live events that can be seen on YouTube or Facebook,” she said. “It opens it up to audiences that would’ve never been able to come.”

Carmel Gala The Carmel Gala scheduled for April 24 also will be fully virtual this year.

The city and other gala organizers are working with a professional production company to create the program for a virtual audience. The event, which benefits the Carmel Youth Assistance Program, also will include raffles and a silent auction.

Midtown events Midtown Plaza was one of a few locations to hold events in 2020, although they happened in a modified form.

Some of those changes will remain in place, such as Movies at Midtown having several showings throughout the day rather than a single one in the evening.

“We found there were different audiences throughout the day, so we’re going to keep doing that,” Heck said.

Movies at Midtown showings are set for noon, 2:30 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Mondays beginning May 3 through Oct. 25.

Showings will move to Saturdays Nov. 13 to Dec. 18.

The biweekly Music at Midtown performances are expected to return from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning May 4.

Other events Other events set to return in-person include the Carmel International Arts Festival, Artomobilia, Midtown’s Got Talent, Bike Carmel group rides, Art of Wine, the Christkindlmarkt and the Ice at Carter Green.

Plans could change if the pandemic worsens as the year progresses, but Heck and other city officials are confident the COVID-19 vaccine will lead to lower case numbers as warmer weather approaches.

The feasibility of holding each event and how it will be conducted will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Ram enjoys Aussie Open success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Considering Rajeev Ram had to spend his first 14 days quarantined alone in his hotel room, his trip to Australia TENNIS turned out quite well.

Ram, a 1999 Carmel High School graduate, and Barbora Krejcikova won the Australian Open mixed doubles title Feb. 20 for the second time in three years.

Ram and Joe Salisbury, who were seeking a repeat men’s doubles title, reached the championship Feb. 21 before losing 6-3, 6-4 to Filip Polasek and Ivan Dodig.

“So, there was no practice or anything for the first 14 days,” said Ram, who said there were positive COVID-19 passengers on his plane flight to Melbourne, which included other tennis players. “They gave (me) a bike and a couple of weights, but nothing is able to replicate being outside and running around, hitting balls.”

After Ram could finally leave his room, he had just four days to practice before his first men’s doubles match in a warmup tournament. Ram and Salisbury lost their opening doubles match Feb. 3 at Melbourne.

However, Ram was gradually able to regain his form.

“It was a great couple of weeks,” Ram said. “It was challenging, for sure, because after my 14 days, I was not in the best shape physically, or in general. I had to take it slow.

We (Salisbury and Ram) didn’t play our best and still came out with a great result. We put ourselves in a great position to win another one but didn’t quite get it done.”

The mixed doubles victory was Ram’s third Grand Slam title, all at the Australian Open. He is ranked No. 17 in men’s doubles on the ATP Tour.

By Ashleigh Swan news@currentincarmel.com A petition to protect Indiana wetlands started by a Carmel fifth-grade student has gathered more than ENVIRONMENT 18,000 signatures.

Leo Berry, 11, said he started the petition against Senate Bill 389 so he could raise awareness of the issue and provide a way for other people to help protect wetlands.

“Wetlands are important in any state or country, but to Indiana, they are vital to our survival,” said Berry, who is being homeschooled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic but plans to attend Creekside Middle School in the fall.

The bill, if passed, would repeal state-regulated wetland laws and would also repeal a law that requires a permit for activity in state-regulated wetlands.

Berry also has been in contact with state representatives and has personally been thanked by the national nonprofit group Ducks Unlimited for his efforts.

“I think it is important to protect the environment because it helps us live as humans. It is our home. Air quality and land and ecosystem are vital to our survival and our future,” he said.

Berry also is the founder of the nonprofit group Helping Ninjas, which has a mission to educate and provide opportunities for kids to help the planet.

Berry hopes his efforts will encourage more youth to join him in speaking out on important issues.

Berry’s advice to other youth is, “Don’t be sacred and get inspired.”

“Youth can make a difference and change the world,” he said.

CHS junior supports teen court

By Sophia Ling news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School junior Karolena Zhou has seen firsthand the impact of the teen court program.

It can be an emotional GIVING BACK experience serving with other students on a jury of peers for those 12 to 18 years old going through the restorative justice program available in Marion and Johnson counties. Zhou has seen a fair share of tears and apologies.

“As families embraced, I saw despair transformed into hope and a family’s love strengthened,” she said. “It is incredible to see hopelessness and despair being replaced by hope and a better future for countless children and their family members.”

Zhou believes so strongly in the program that she has begun selling handmade flower arrangements to support it. She has sold enough arrangements to donate $1,000, enough to send 10 youth through the teen court program.

Zhou also created the Teen Court Club at CHS, which launched in the fall of 2020. The

Karolena Zhou has been selling handmade flower arrangements to support the teen court program. (Submitted photo)

club offers students an opportunity to learn about court proceedings and experience real cases. As a juror in the teen court, Zhou is trained in the judicial process. She attends hearings, sentences defendants with a group of peers and determines fair and appropriate restorative actions.

The teen court program aims to decrease rates of school suspension and expulsion and reduce recidivism in the juvenile justice system.

Daniel Kane, 59 of Carmel, Indiana died suddenly of natural causes on February 14th, 2021. He was predeceased by his parents, Moira and David Kane, his in-laws, Arlene and John Dorr, his brother-in- law, Raymond Philio and his nephews Billy and Brendon Gass. He is survived by his beloved wife Arlene, his sons Patrick (Mary), Michael, Colin and Matthew, his precious granddaughters Clara and Ella Kane, his brother Philip Kane, his sisters Susan (Peter) Ronan, Karen (Kevin) Bradley, Eileen (Todd) Evans, his sisters-in-law, Mary Philio, Nancy Gass, brothers-in-law, John (Sandra) Dorr, Michael Dorr and many cherished nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Inspired by his parents, and educated by the Sisters of St. Joseph, Dan developed a deep commitment to his faith. He carried that faith with him from New York all the way to Carmel, Indiana and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.

Dan was a graduate of Seton Catholic Central High School in Binghamton, NY and received a BA in Marketing from Rochester Institute of Technology. He worked for Roche Diagnostics for over 25 years and cared deeply for both the teams he worked with and the advancements they made in diabetes care.

In 1984 Dan met Arlene Dorr, who he would soon learn was the love of his life. Together with Arlene, he raised four boys and learned more about Okinawan Karate than he ever expected.

Dan made the most of his brief retirement.

He coached track at Creekside Middle School and savored summers at his lakeside cottage.

Dan harbored a great interest in local and national politics. He always enjoyed a robust, fair and respectful political debate, and was published several times in the local papers. Dan’s career took him all over the world, but it was his home and family that provided him with his greatest joys.

He surrounded himself with love and laughter, and believed in the power of tradition to strengthen a family. From Sunday family dinners to the thoughtful words of a birthday “go-‘round”, he championed traditions both old and new. The eloquence, wit, and wisdom he so generously shared with his sons and granddaughters will be an everlasting gift.

Dan to some, Dad to others, but always Papa to his granddaughters. Papa had boundless energy when it came to his girls, whether he was “exploring the jungle” with Clara or doting on Ella. Dan spent his life on the move, and he had found himself exactly where he wanted to be.

He will be profoundly missed by all of those who knew and loved him.

A Mass of Christian Burial was offered on Friday, February 26th at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, with eulogies shared prior to Mass in the church narthex.

The family received friends from 4-8 pm on Thursday, February 25th at Leppert Mortuary- Smith Carmel Chapel. Memorial contributions are suggested in Dan’s name to: Little Sisters of the Poor: 2345 West 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN 26260.

Waddell’s mental, physical growth helps spur Greyhounds

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Matt Waddell is the first to admit his son, Brian, is more athletic.

“I can’t argue that in any way,” Matt said.

“He gets off the ground a lot better than I ever did.”

Matt was no slouch. The Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer helped lead Purdue University to Big Ten championships in 1994 and ’95.

Brian, a Carmel High School senior, does have another edge. At 6-foot-7, he is three inches taller than he his dad was.

“I think Brian is just now starting to realize his potential,” Carmel coach Ryan Osborn said. “He’s building confidence within himself, and he can get us going. He plays with great energy. He’s been really consistent for us. He plays within himself. You look at his shooting percentage, and he takes shots he knows he can make.”

Class 4A No. 2 Carmel (20-2) drew a firstround bye in the Class 4A Carmel Sectional and will face the Fishers/Hamilton Southeastern winner at 6 p.m. March 5.

“We know if we focus on being the best team we can be, everything else will take of itself,” said Brian, who missed five games with a sprained right ankle before returning Feb. 19.

Brian, who averages a team-high 15.6 points per game on 58 percent shooting, has NCAA Division I offers from Wright State and the University of Incarnate Word, which is coached by ex-Purdue player Carson Cunningham.

“My mental game has been the most (improved),” Brian said. “I came into this year more confident in myself. That’s helped me become a better player and shoot the ball with confidence every time.”

Brian didn’t play much on Carmel’s 2019 Class 4A state championship team as a 6-3 sophomore. He grew three inches before his junior year but missed some time because of mononucleosis at the start of the 2019-20 season and later suffered a stress fracture.

He finished strong, averaging around 10 points per game as Carmel won its sectional before the COVID-19 pandemic ended the postseason.

“Getting physically stronger has been a

huge part of it,” Brian said. “I got stronger in the weight room and put on weight. I’m able to play against other people who are bigger and stronger than me.”

Brian said his demeanor is much like his dad’s. His father coached him on travel teams for several years.

“I’m not really a screamer,” Brian said.

“I’m not going to get mad if I need to correct stuff. I’m just going to do it. He wanted to make sure I was the best player but did that in a low-key way. He coached me to play to my abilities.”

Matt said the last 12 to 18 months have been fun to watch his son improve.

“He’s always put a lot of effort into it and worked hard,” Matt said. “He is a late developer. That’s not a bad thing. It’s good it’s

happening now and not a year from now.

He’s physically developed the last yearand-a-half and mentally getting stronger.

His confidence in his game and himself has increased, and that’s the exciting part for me. He’s always kind of undervalued himself and didn’t realize how good he was. He’s a team-kid first. He’s going to play smart and play the right way. He’s going to give up a good shot for a great shot for a teammate.

That’s the way I tried to play.”

ATHLETIC FAMILIES

A 1990 Indiana All-Star from Tipton, Matt redshirted as a Purdue University freshman.

He played two seasons against Indiana University when Todd Leary, a 1989 All-Star from Lawrence North, was on the Hoosiers.

Leary’s son, Wil, a senior for the Greyhounds, played with Brian on Carmel Pups growing up.

Wil has been a key contributor for Carmel, mostly coming off the bench.

“I feel like I’ve worked on improving my defense because that is kind of why I haven’t gotten as many minutes as I’ve wanted,” Wil said. “Over the last year, I’ve been working on my defense mostly and letting the offense come.”

Wil said he likes coming off the bench.

“It makes it easier to come in and make an impact,” said Wil, who averages 4.4 points per game.

The 6-3 guard shoots 38 percent from 3-point range.

“Wil is a great guy to have on the bench and be able to rely on,” Brian said. “There’s times when we need Wil to hit a big shot for us and he’s going to do that most of the time.”

In addition, another Carmel senior guard, Bryce Beery, is the son of a Purdue athlete.

Carmel Dads’ Club president Jack Beery is a CHS graduate who played football for the Boilermakers. Bryce’s older brother, Britt, a 2017 CHS graduate, is an offensive lineman at IU. Bryce, a 6-3 guard, averages 3.3 points per game.

ESSAY

LETTER

Red alert

OneZone: Thank you, Indiana legislators

Commentary by Terry Anker We become old pros at the tornado drill by the time we find our way into third grade. Different from the ubiquitous fire drill, where we’d be marched outside in single-file lines, getting to enjoy a blast of fresh air and some conversation with our friends until the “all-clear” bell, the late winter prep for spring storms would find us marching into the halls carrying our thickest book, generally math, to sit pressed against cinder block walls, heads bowed with the tome as cover to deflect falling debris. We were hushed routinely and reminded to listen carefully for emergency warnings that would come from the “main” office (usually a substantial and intimidating microphone somewhere on the principal’s desk). Eventually, a voice would bellow that the exercise had not been a “real” emergency but were reassured that future ones most would certainly be.

As the years passed tornado-free, the ritual became occasion to pass notes and whisper with friends as the teachers, especially those a few decades past college, would collect to discuss the events of the day in the hallway-turned-teachers’ lounge. Those lucky enough to earn the hall monitor duty would discover that tomorrow would be the exercise and would share the forbidden knowledge with their buddies. “We might escape the spelling quiz because a drill should happen during third period — huzzah!”

Then we grew into a world with constant phone notifications, DEFCON nuclear warnings and a Homeland Security Advisory System that has seldom, if ever, fallen below “orange,” signifying a high risk of terrorist attack. In a lifetime of snowpocolypse disappointments, hurricane path prediction misfires and almost daily claims of “red alert,” how do we know the difference between Chicken Little and an imminent collapse of the atmosphere? Can we protect every sheep without crying wolf too often?

Cruise might cure my blues Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m sitting on my couch, bleary-eyed from yet another night of hormonally induced insomnia, ignoring the cold, HUMOR gray winter afternoon and a mountain of ungraded essays in favor of Googling the best seven-to-nineday Mediterranean cruises. A girl’s gotta dream!

Especially this year. Even with the idea of “normal” partially visible on the horizon, I’m still feeling blah. What I need is a fabulous vacation to a far-away destination with all-you-can-drink margaritas and 24/7 soft serve. Not that I would get on a 5,000-passenger ship anytime soon, even in a full hazmat suit, but perhaps in 2022.

Because, unfortunately, this summer will probably be on par with last. We’ll be staying close to home, except for a dance nationals in Tennessee and possibly a long 25th anniversary weekend somewhere. Neither seems terribly exciting nor binge-planning worthy, hence the hours I’ve wasted

“chatting” with Randy from Holland America and mapping places like Split and Palma.

What’s especially weird about this latest obsession is that I’m not really a cruise person. I did a Caribbean spin about 12 years ago and, with the exceptions of spectacular people-watching and a particularly funny experience involving one of my sisters and a bikini top malfunction during a diving for pennies game on the Lido Deck, I mostly remember a mild case of vertigo and the ever-present thoughts of, “If this baby goes down, how do I not end up like Leonardo?”

Regardless, what’s the harm in a little holiday fantasizing? It’s not like I’m giving Randy my credit card, despite his best efforts. Only $200 for a balcony upgrade? Yes, please! A girl’s gotta dream! Peace out.

Editor, With the recent signature of the employer liability legislation into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb, it provides our business community a sense of relief.

Senate Bill 1 gives businesses (that) follow public safety guidelines for their employees, vendors and customers protection from frivolous lawsuits that might occur from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The legislation is crucial for protecting employers in our cities, county, region and state and for keeping our economy open and running despite the worldwide health crisis.

While this bill was introduced in the Senate, we do want to thank Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel) who sponsored the legislation in the House and played a crucial role in ensuring this bill became law.

Employer liability protection was a OneZone legislative priority, and we are proud to check this off our list so early this session and thank each legislator who supported this bill. Your vote has helped many large and small businesses across the state.

Jack Russell, president and CEO, OneZone Chamber of Commerce

Now hiring for snow jobs Commentary by Dick Wolfsie A few weeks ago, when the snowstorm hit, I was fortunate to have neighbors who knew that I had a bad knee, a HUMOR bad back and a cardiologist on retainer. Paul and Eric shoveled our driveway and Noah (Eric’s 10-yearold son) somehow managed to maneuver the snowblower.

As they finished at about 4:30 in the afternoon, I threw on a coat and went outside to thank them.

“Wow,” Paul said. “You are still in your pajama bottoms. You haven’t gotten dressed yet?”

“Don’t be silly,” Eric said. “He’s getting ready for bed.”

This was our third winter in this neighborhood, and up until last week, we had not had any major snowfalls. But in our previous home just a couple miles away, we did have a few blizzards during the 25 years we lived there. I know, because as a TV reporter, I covered many of them.

Back in those days, the last thing I wanted to do was shovel my own driveway. After I got home, I’d walk outside and scan the

neighborhood. A few of my more fit neighbors were hard at work, but I was looking for teenagers motivated to make a buck (or 40) shoveling snow. Where were those big, manly 17-year-olds whose parents had bumper stickers that said, “My son is a lineman for Lawrence North”? I’ll tell you where they were. They were home posting selfies on Facebook or Instagram.

Yes, our pricing structure was downright dishonest. And now, 55 years later, I deserve to be taken advantage of. So, I waited at the front door — a door I couldn’t get out of, money in hand but no takers.

– DICK WOLFSIE

When I was a kid in New York, as soon as school was canceled due to heavy snowfall, my best friend Arthur and I got into our warm coats, armed ourselves with shovels, then set out in the neighborhood by 8 a.m. to make a financial killing. One day, I came home with a wad of scrunched-up wet bills in my pocket. I showed my mom the stash of $52.

A renderings of a new State Bank location in Carmel are released. (Submitted photo)

State Bank location in Carmel expected this summer news@currentincarmel.com A new State Bank location is planned in Carmel at 126th Street and Gray Road.

The bank is expected to open in early fall, according to Sharon CONSTRUCTION Lovejoy, marketing director at State Bank.

She said demolition on the project hasn’t begun. The project is out for bid.

State Bank purchased the former banking office in front of the strip center at 126th and Grey Road, and the company expects to begin renovations “very soon,” Lovejoy said.

The Carmel location marks the 10th branch for State Bank and the first in Hamilton County. Andy Pinegar, a senior commercial lender and new market president, and Brad Condon, a commercial lender at State Bank, will lead the branch.

The 5,000-square-foot location will offer self-service banking solutions along with a community room, which will be available to customers and community groups.

“The Brookshire Village Shoppes renovation and the potential businesses that would occupy the former bank location have been popular topics among our community for quite some time,” Carmel City Council member Jeff Worrell stated. “We are pleased that State Bank is financing construction of the project to enhance the site. We are thrilled to welcome a community-minded financial institution to this city for the benefit of residents and businesses.”

The new branch will provide a variety of services, including investment planning through Lizton Financial Services, which will be led by Jake Girouard, an investment executive. Gretchen Patterson, who has 40 years of experience in the mortgage industry, will lead mortgage-lending services for the local branch.

Former HHGregg property sells

By Mark Ambrogi Mark@youarecurrent.com The massive HHGregg headquarters campus at 4151 E. 96th St. on the Indianapolis and Carmel border REDEVELOPING has been vacant since the consumer electronics and home appliances store closed in 2017. That could change as the 27-acre property was recently purchased by Citimark, an Indianapolis real estate firm, for $14 million.

A Citimark spokesman said Feb. 18 that no plans have been determined for how the company will redevelop the site. The property includes more than 400,000 square feet of office, industrial and showroom space.

HHGregg used the site as its corporate headquarters and for warehousing and distribution. The parking lot has spaces for

more than 200 vehicles.

Citimark is considering several options for the property, including using it as flex space for a single user or multiple tenants, warehouse space and last-mile distribution services.

The property fronts the busy East 96th Street business corridor, so Citimark also is considering preserving space for retail outlots.

Citimark, founded in 1982, has acquired, developed, managed and leased more than 20 million square feet of industrial, office and mixed-use properties.

The seller was Throgmartin 96th Street LLC. The Throgmartin family was related to founders Henry Harold and Fansy Gregg, who created the business in 1955.

Colliers Indianapolis real estate broker Alex Cantu assisted Citimark with the purchase.

Heart attack may have saved young son’s life

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Joseph Szydlowski’s heart attack in 2018 may have saved his young son’s life.

There’s a good RARE DISEASE chance it saved his own life, too.

While in the hospital recovering, the Carmel resident, then 42, was found to be severely anemic and diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, a condition that leads to blood vessel malformations.

In some cases, the vessels can rupture and bleed, which can be fatal.

Because HHT is inherited, Joseph and his wife, Susan, decided to have their three children tested for it, as the couple had a 50 percent chance of passing it to each child.

Tests showed that their two youngest children, Eve, 18, and Case, 8, have it, although neither had shown symptoms.

“As much as I didn’t want this to be, I am so grateful that I do know and that something tragic didn’t happen, and we learned after the fact,” Susan said.

After being diagnosed, Eve and Case had lung and brain scans to check for problematic blood vessel malformations. Doctors Case Szydlowski had surgery at Riley Hospital found one large enough to be worrisome for Children in 2019 to prevent a malformed in Case’s lung, so the family opted for blood vessel from causing problems in his surgery in late 2019 to prevent potentially lungs.

Lurie to reboot with smaller Carmel gallery

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough on many businesses, none more than in the art and music world.

“It’s been a difficult (time). The ART bulk of the money in this industry is from art fairs, and all these shows have been canceled,” said Evan Lurie, owner of Carmel’s Evan Lurie Gallery. “We’ve basically not had any income since all this started. Unfortunately, it’s hit us hard.”

That has forced Evan Lurie to make some tough decisions. He plans to relocate his Carmel gallery, with its centerpiece spot in the Carmel Arts & Design District, to a smaller space in the district.

He said he plans to vacate his present space of more than 5,000 square feet at 30 W. Main St. likely in April or May. Lurie moved to Carmel in 2005, and the gallery opened in September 2007.

“We’re looking for a smaller space in Carmel we can take until the shows come back, somewhere we can downsize to for the next two years,” Lurie said. “Then I might talk to (Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard) about getting into one of the new projects in the next 18 months. This year is again going to be a difficult year for the art world. We have to navigate through this and come back for 2022.

“We’re kind of taking a hiatus from retail and doing more of an online-type of profile.”

At the same time, Lurie is seeking another spot in Delray Beach or Palm Beach, Florida. He said he’d like to get the location open in the next six to eight weeks.

“Most of my income the past 20 years has been through art fairs and shows in South Florida. That’s where a lot of clients are right now,” Lurie said. “They used to go to winter homes and now make it year-round homes. The housing market is booming in the Palm Beach area. It’s the hottest market in the country.”

Lurie said a lot of galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Boston have relocated to the South Florida area to take advantage of the market.

“We have to go where the money is,”

he said. “The sad thing is, I’ve made this my home. It’s frustrating. It’s depressing, to be quite honest. I’ve spent a lot of energy and time here. My kids were raised here. I love this place. I have to do what I have to do to keep things afloat. When things come back, I want to come back and open again (on a larger scale). Now, I want something small here just to keep a presence.”

Nothing has been settled on what will go into the location when the gallery moves.

“Everything’s not static in business,” Brainard said. “Businesses come and go.

We have a very healthy established art district at this point. I think we will continue to have it. The good news is he’s going to stay in Carmel, and he’s going

to find a gallery here, probably a smaller space.

“It’s been in essence a wonderful gift to the community. It’s been almost a free museum with some of the best contemporary artwork available.”

Brainard said all galleries nationally are having issues with no art shows.

“People who want to spend a lot of money on really, really expensive art go to these shows, but they still need a physical location somewhere,” said Brainard, adding that Carmel is a relatively inexpensive place compared to Los Angeles and New York.

Lurie recently opened a gallery with his brother, Scot, in Park City, Utah. He also has a Lurie Gallery in Los Angeles with his brother, Bruce.

Grammy Award-winning Disney Music Group producer and historian Randy Thornton will be featured in a free Zoom presentation at 7 p.m. March 9 as part of the Carmel-based Center for the Performing Arts’ “Classics in Context” series. The program is called “The Maestros and the Mouse: The Use and Influence of Classical Music Through Disney History.”

Thornton will explore Disney’s skillful use of classical masterpieces that have been woven through such works as “Silly Symphonies,” “Fantasia,” “Sleeping Beauty” and the “Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room” attraction. The program includes the work of such luminaries as Edvard Grieg, Leopold Stokowski, Ludwig van Beethoven, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Prokofiev and Jacques Offenbach.

The program will conclude with a Q&A session.

Thornton has been a producer at Walt Disney Records for more than 33 years. His work has resulted 10 gold records, four platinum records, six Grammy nominations and one Grammy Award.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9713 District N. Drive, Fishers What to get: Birria tacos Price: $15 Anna’s take: I was thoroughly impressed with Bien Mexicana in the Fishers Test Kitchen. Owner Angela Garcia has a great story about how she began selling tamales after being unable to work during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and those tamale sales paved the way to an entire restaurant. Bien Mexicana will operate out of Fishers Test Kitchen through at least March, and possibly longer, if it is chosen as one of the Test Kitchen’s next long-term restaurants. Bien Mexicana is only open from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, but it also operates out of the Noblesville American Legion other days of the week. The schedule is announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page. As for what to order, you can’t go wrong with any item, but my favorite was Birria tacos. Three tacos come in an order, and the tortillas are soft but don’t tear or

fall apart, despite being packed with barbacoa, cheese, onions and cilantro. The tacos are served with a side of salsa verde and a bowl of consomé, a seasoned and dried chile beef broth. I suggest adding the salsa verde to the taco and then dipping the entire thing in the consomé. Sop up as much of that stuff as you can because it’s delicious. My other favorite item was the chips and salsa/guacamole/queso. The chips and all sauces are made in-house, and the salsa was definitely spicy enough to appeal to my taste (for those who don’t know, I definitely love a bit of a kick). Check out Bien Mexicana sooner rather than later.

Highland Reign to perform

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Leslie Miller is eager to bring attention to his Scots American folk band to new audiences.

MUSIC Miller’s band, Highland Reign, will perform in the “Live at the Center” series at 7:30 p.m. March 4 at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The free performance will be available as a livestream.

“This is a great opportunity to perform ‘Live at the Center.’ We are very honored to be asked to do this,” Miller said. “This is an awesome chance to expose our music to others. We play Scottish and Irish festivals across the country, along with playing in Scotland and Ireland many times. So, to be exposed to some people that might not have been interested in this type of genre is great.

“We are a Scots American folk band, so many people don’t know much about that type of genre. So hopefully, they will enjoy it.”

Miller, who plays bagpipes and bodhran, said the band has been together for 21

years. The newest trio member, Sarah Yingst, joined a year ago. Miller and Yingst live in Greenwood. Patrick Norris, who plays guitar, lives in Whiteland. All three share vocals.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. in mid-March 2020, live performances have been limited.

“We actually had a couple of live shows recently, and we do the Facebook Live stuff occasionally for our fans,” he said. “Any opportunity to play is greatly appreciated.”

Highland Reign played a Scottish festival in Kentucky in September 2020.

With friends like these Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I love reader feedback, especially when it is glowing. Luann wrote in with a great question. She asked, GRAMMAR GUY “How do you keep from correcting other people? My friends think I am obnoxious.”

Although my friends can barely stand me, I do not correct their grammar, except for under very specific circumstances. You can have friends or correct people’s grammar; you can’t have both.

The only reason to publicly correct a friend’s grammar is to stop them from getting a misspelled word tattooed on her body. You’d better speak up before your buddy gets “No ragrets” tattooed on his forearm.”

The only other acceptable way to correct a friend’s grammar is to do so in private. To judge someone out loud in public is an impeachable friend offense. It will make them feel dumb, and it’s not a good look for you, either. A private grammar correction is akin to pulling someone aside to tell them they have some spinach

stuck between their teeth.

Now, I’ll stop dancing around answering Luann’s question: How do you keep from correcting other people? Believe me, I am constantly correcting other people’s grammar in my head, but it stays there. To learn restraint, you have to ask whether or not you’d like your friend to correct you if your roles were reversed.

Just as nobody’s mind has ever been changed through a Facebook political debate, no good will come out of a public grammar correction. Here’s an idea for Luann, as well as other self-deputized grammar police officers: When you want to correct someone’s grammar, instead send yourself a text message with the grammar gaffe. Later on, if you remember it, you can allow yourself to gently correct your friend in the privacy of a one-on-one conversation.

Interior of Byzantine House near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jerusalem’s Byzantine houses Commentary by Don Knebel Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is one of the most impressive structures of antiquity.

Twentieth century excavations near it disclosed surprising information TRAVEL about early Christians.

In 19 B.C., Herod the Great began building a massive retaining wall around the flat hill on which Jerusalem’s Second Temple stood. Workers filled the voids, creating a 37-acre platform for an enlarged temple and a series of associated courts. Gates high in the southern wall, above wide steps, led to tunnels opening onto this Temple Mount. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus walked down these steps before his crucifixion and predicted the Temple’s destruction. About 40 years later, Roman troops, responding to the First Jewish Revolt, demolished the Temple.

In A.D. 135, the Romans barred Jews from entering Jerusalem, which they renamed Aelia Capitolina. In A.D. 326, after legalizing Christianity, Roman Emperor Constantine built a church a quarter of a mile west of the Temple Mount, where his mother, Helena, concluded Jesus’ tomb was located. Christians then began coming to Aelia Capitolina

to worship in the church, which became the center of Christian Jerusalem. In 638, Muslim forces captured Aelia Capitolina from the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire and built an administrative center at the southern end of the Temple Mount. An earthquake in 749 destroyed the center, which became buried by dirt and debris.

In 1967, after Israel gained control of the area in the Six-Day War, archaeologists began excavating just south of the Temple Mount, uncovering the southern steps.

Under the ruins of the destroyed administrative center they discovered homes built for Byzantine Christians, some with mosaic floors and some with rooms for creating souvenirs for Christian pilgrims. Prior to the discovery, scholars assumed Christians would have avoided building this close to the Temple because of Jesus’ teachings about it. Some of the Byzantine homes are open to visitors.
