Crosswalk improvements planned near CHS

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School students crossing 136th Street by foot to arrive at school will see a few changes in the next school SAFETY year. In addition to narrowing travel lanes to calm traffic and add a center median, new markings and a flashing light will be added to the crosswalk to increase pedestrian visibility.

No accidents in the area prompted the improvement. Rather, it was a proactive recommendation from the school resource officers, said Carmel Police Dept. Sgt. D.J. Schoeff. An estimated 2,000 to 2,500 students cross the street in that area daily.

“We saw that as a place that we want to improve some visibility for cars that are traveling through there and draw more attention to it so that people are slowing down a little bit more,” Schoeff said.

City Engineer Jeremy Kashman said the crossing was added to the scope of a larger project funded through 2017 bonds to construct a multi-use path along 136th Street from Keystone Parkway to Range Line Road to increase connectivity in the area.

“Once we started getting into the design of the project, we started discussing how to best handle the intersection there at 136th

Street and (Stadium Drive),” he said.

The city ruled out constructing a bridge or tunnel because of elevation differences, flooding issues and cost.

The city has already placed push-buttonactivated flashing lights at multiple intersections, and that same technology will be installed at the CHS crosswalk. The median allows students to cross one lane of traffic, rest, and then cross the second.

An officer will remain at the crosswalk to direct traffic during busy hours, and the crosswalk signal will be deactivated during

those times to avoid confusion.

“It won’t do much of anything to traffic flow at all,” Schoeff said. “We already stop the traffic when kids are crossing. All this is going to do is make it more visible for cars traveling on 136th Street to make it obvious that that’s a crossing area and give more guidance as to where our kids can be as they cross, so that both parties then know where it’s expected that a pedestrian would be.”

Kashman said construction will begin this summer. The city has allocated nearly $2 million for the project.

project, although documents submitted to the city from Nelson/Nygaard note the potential of linking to it in the future.

“After completing a regional transit plan in 2016 that did not garner enough public support for a successful ballot initiative, Hamilton County remains unserved by any fixed-route transit service,” it states. “As the neighboring community to Marion County and Indianapolis, Carmel is envisioned as the first extension of the IndyGo Red Line.”

The first phase of the Red Line will take riders along a 13-mile stretch between Broad Ripple and the University of Indianapolis, with buses running every 10 minutes. Future phases of the project are expected to expand the line north and south to Marion County’s borders with Hamilton and Johnson counties.

Brainard said local support for eventually expanding the Red Line in Carmel will likely be affected by how the project fares in Marion County.

“I’d like the public to see what they’ve done (in Indianapolis),” he said. “If they like it, they’ll approve it. If they don’t, they’ll say no, so let’s see how it goes up to 96th Street.”

U.S. 31 interchange planned in northern Hamilton County

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

Hamilton County’s last stoplight along U.S. 31 on the route to Kokomo is expected to disappear within the next ROADS few years. INDOT has announced plans to reconstruct the intersection of U.S. 31 and 236th Street in northern Hamilton County into an interchange.

Hamilton County Highway Dept. Director Brad Davis said the county shares INDOT’s goal of eliminating stoplights and improving traffic flow on U.S. 31.

“The big goal of INDOT is to create a freeway system on U.S. 31 and to eliminate traffic signals on that roadway,” Davis said.

“We’ve wanted to have an interchange there for quite some time, so we are in favor of it and are providing any input we can to help.”

Davis said the new interchange will serve two purposes: Improve traffic and make drivers safer.

“One of the major issues is a safety issue.

There’s been an awful lot of accidents at

that location, so that’s one of the primary goals they’re trying to solve,” he said. “By doing an interchange, they’re actually splitting the traffic, so you’re going to eliminate that intersection conflict there. And, of course, an interchange is going to work a lot more efficiently at moving traffic than a traffic light.”

INDOT has not announced a starting date for the project, but construction is expected to begin in 2021 or 2022. According to INDOT’s website, public feedback will help determine what type of interchange INDOT will install. Public hearings are expected to take place before the project begins.

The tight bond between athletes on the Carmel High School boys swimming and diving team helped them ACHIEVEMENT lap the field again.

“The strength in the water was a reflection of their strength out of the pool as well,” CHS coach Chris Plumb said. “It’s a great team to be around, and the way they pull for each other and swim for each other is tremendous.”

The Greyhounds won the state high school boys swimming team title Feb. 23 for the fifth consecutive year with 353.5 points, easily outdistancing second-place Franklin’s total of 178 at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI. “We started out super strong and we got three out of five (state) records at the end,” Plumb said. “It was a fabulous performance for the boys. They swam lights out beginning to end. They were willing to become vulnerable to make each other better and you don’t often see that with high school athletes. They bought into the program and they bought into each other.”

Junior Wyatt Davis, who has committed to Michigan, won two individual events and was on two winning relays.

“This entire season, the guys have been preparing for this moment because we all are super tight as a team,” Davis said.

Davis won his third consecutive 100-yard backstroke in a state-record time of 46.66 seconds.

“I’ve had my eye on that record since last year, so I’m really glad I got it,” Davis said.

“The key was the underwater (times) that I had. I’ve reached a maximum I made off each time.”

In addition, Davis won the 200 individual medley for the second consecutive year.

Junior Jacob Mitchell won the 500 freestyle in a state-record time of 4:16.72, the

fourth-fastest high school time ever.

“I was hitting my pace in warmup, so I knew it would be a good race. Once I got in the water, I felt good, so I decided to see how fast I could get,” said Mitchell, who earlier had won the 200 freestyle.

The 400 freestyle relay of Mitchell, Augustus Rothrock, Griffin Hadley and Davis won in a state-record time of 2:58.75. CHS also captured the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay.

Davis and Mitchell have made verbal commitments to swim for Michigan in the 202021 season.

Girls rugby team launching

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Evan Roberts can list a host of reasons why rugby is an ideal sport for young boys and girls.

YOUTH SPORTS But one reason in particular easily tops the others.

“Rugby is a great youth sport, first and foremost, because it’s fun,” said Roberts, a former high school player and longtime coach with the Carmel Dads’ Club. “Every player is fully involved, playing both offense and defense, and every player has the opportunity to perform all the fun skills.”

Roberts, who also is a former club player, is assembling a seventh/eighth-grade girls tackle team for the Carmel Rugby Club through the Carmel Dads’ Club. Carmel Rugby has several co-ed teams and separate teams for boys and girls but hasn’t offered a seventh/eighth-grade girls team since 2014.

One of the nation’s fastest-growing sports, rugby is a contact activity that does not have separate rules, or different field or ball specifications, for boys and girls. It involves running, kicking and tackling and is generally conducive to players of all skill

levels and athletic ability.

“Rugby is an inclusive game. There is no such thing as an ideal rugby body,” Roberts said. “The separate rugby positions provide every kind of physique the opportunity to play a role, short or tall, big or small. And rugby is very easy to teach. Besides focusing on the fundamentals, our coaches spend a lot of time teaching safety.”

Carmel Rugby competes in the Rugby Indiana league, which includes other Hamilton County teams and teams from as far away as Warsaw and Elkhart. The season begins this month and runs through the end of May. Most games are played on Sundays. Carmel plays its home matches at River Road Park.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ken Brant isn’t shy about why he is retiring from the Carmel Fire Dept. after 22 years.

The 56-year-old RETIREMENT Westfield resident has been dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder since an EMS run in May 2015 trying to rescue a baby, who eventually died.

“The fire service and police service see things your brain shouldn’t see, like soldiers in war,” Brant said.

Brant, who retired in February, said the runs add up through the years. “(Stabbings) aren’t that prevalent in Carmel, but hangings are,” Brant said. “We went on a run where a guy fell off his roof into an old stairwell. It just wears your brain down.”

Brant said he compared the emotions to blocks stacking up through the years.

“This baby run knocked all those blocks over,” Brant said.

Brant performed chest compressions on the baby girl from the time he walked into the apartment until she arrived at the emergency room.

“We got her pulse back, but at the emer-

County councilor Glynn confident in strategy to topple 24-year incumbent Brainard

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has been in office for more than two decades, handily defeating all political challengers since his first camCOVER STORY paign in 1995.

Fred Glynn hopes to change that.

A Hamilton County councilor who began his second term at the beginning of the year, Glynn said he believes with hard work and the right strategy he will oust Brainard Brainard in the May 7 Republican primary — and it won’t even be difficult.

“I think if we get people engaged this is going to be an easy election. I feel that way, I really do,” he said. “(Brainard) has a core group of supporters who are rabid, who like what he’s doing, but outside of that I think if people really engage and figure out what’s going on they’ll make the right choice.”

But Brainard, who has faced and defeated at least one challenger in every mayoral primary, said his accomplishments through the years speak for themselves.

“We believe our fiscal record is one of the best in the nation, and we’ll be talking a lot about how our fiscal management is being able to build the city into one of the best places to live in America,” Brainard said.

Taxing issues

A self-described fiscal conservative, Glynn said he had long been troubled by Carmel’s growing debt and decided to seriously consider a run for mayor when the city announced in October 2018 it had purchased the Monon Square shopping center — which appraised for $11 million — for $15 million to build a mixed-use development that will likely have much steeper rents for its tenants.

Brainard has suggested that some of the existing businesses could consider renting much smaller spaces in the new development to maintain their presence, an idea that doesn’t sit well with Glynn.

“It should be up to the market forces to determine that, not some government bureaucrat who has no stake in the game,” Glynn said. “If (it doesn’t work) out, nothing is going

to hurt him. The only people getting hurt are the business owners and the people who invest in that.”

Laken Sisko, Brainard’s campaign manager, said the success of the Arts & Design District, Midtown, City Center and elsewhere show that Carmel has been a good place to do business in recent years.

She said the city issued 91 commercial tenant permits and approved 19 new commercial buildings in 2018, both signs of business growth.

“Mayor Brainard has an excellent track record of working with the private sector Glynn to redevelop areas of the city that were struggling and turning them into vibrant and sustainable areas with a mix of uses that help create a high quality of life that in turn attracts more private investment,” Sisko said. “Contrary to what some politicians with no experience running a city might think, the state.”

Glynn’s campaign also has pointed to Carmel’s debt load — reported at more than $1.3 billion by the Dept. of Local Government Finance — as a concern, which he said includes “giveaways to preferred developers.” But Brainard said the city’s debt is only part of the story, as it also generates more tax revenue than neighboring cities.

Brainard said his administration has been great for business growth, with more than 125 companies choosing Carmel for their corporate headquarters. And it’s the growing business presence that has helped keep taxes low for residents, he said. Carmel has the 11th-lowest city tax rate and the fifth-lowest overall tax rate in the state, and it has the lowest combined utility rates compared to its neighbors.

“The debt that we’re talking about is all for long-term infrastructure and business development projects, and it shows in our tax rate,” Brainard said, adding that the city does not have operating deficits. “(Residents are) paying roughly 50 percent less in taxes today than they were 24 years ago when I took office.”

Looking at longevity

While Glynn believes Carmel residents are ready for a change after 24 years with one mayor, Brainard said his longevity and resulting expertise has been good for a growing city.

“If I need surgery at the hospital, I would want a surgeon who has experience, not a brand new one,” he said.

But Glynn, who will maintain his seat on the county council until Jan. 1, 2020, if he wins the election, isn’t intimidated.

“He presented some polling to us recently to try to get us to bow out of the race,” Glynn said. “Basically, what I’m looking at is a guy with a whole lot of name identification, and it’s not because people know everything he’s doing.

He’s winning off of name identification. He’s not winning off of adulation.”

Sisko said that a member of the campaign and Hamilton County GOP chair Laura Campbell met with a member of Glynn’s campaign to share polling information that shows the “uphill challenge” of a campaign and arguing that Republicans should conserve resources for the 2020 elections. Campbell said that these types of meetings between incumbents and challengers before they file to run are “nothing unusual.”

What does it take to beat an incumbent?

Toppling an incumbent is no easy task, especially one that’s spent nearly a quarter century in office.

“It’s a big mountain to climb, but it’s not impossible,” said Aaron Dusso, chair of the political science department at IUPUI. Dusso said that incumbents have many built-in advantages, from name recognition to a more established donor base to an existing political infrastructure.

However, one of the oldest campaign strategies in the books can help swing the momentum toward the newcomer, he said.

“Talking to people is the one thing that can actually get through to them,” Dusso said. “You might have a lot more time than money, and you can overcome that money problem by just knocking on doors.”

Often, longtime incumbents who lose an election fail because they became their own worst enemies, not because of the success of their opponent, Dusso said.

“It’s much more a situation about what the incumbent does wrong rather than what the challenger might do right,” he said. “If for some reason the longserving mayor has had some type of problem, maybe a scandal, or the economy in the particular area is going down, or perhaps they’ve made some members of their own inner circle angry and they don’t have the support they used to have, that kind of thing is what would oftentimes provide an opportunity for a challenger.”

The last time an incumbent mayor lost a primary election was in 1995, when Jim Brainard defeated Ted Johnson by earning 55 percent of the vote.

ESSAY

LETTER Tax subsidies affect small business

Do the math Commentary by Terry Anker Our daily lives are overflowing with data. Yet, in a somewhat alarming development, most of us are more confused than ever. How do we make sense of the competing, incongruent and often intentionally open-ended assertions in which modern society finds itself steeped? How do those “in-theknow” arrive at their assumptions?

How do they use the information to find their assertion of outcome?

The challenge here is that most talking heads foist upon the unsuspecting and willing public equations of “how to fix the world” with too many unknown variables. Every eighth-grade math student will tell you that such cannot be resolved.

First, one must know which elements are required, then conform to a definition for each, and finally determine a specific outcome that we might hope to reach if we solve the equation.

For others to understand our thinking, one must begin from a place that assumes the position of the listener, not the speaker. If the listener does not have enough information, wouldn’t it require that the speaker include it in the originating message?

One should identify all the variables and then, in time, solve each before turning in the assignment.

Understandably, some don’t want to do the homework. They push the problem-solving responsibility off to the reader. Open-ended equations invite further interrogatory and leave too much to assumption.

If we were to review our messages in advance of sending them from the perspective of the reader, how much could we improve our communication? And, if we spent a bit more time on designing the equation before attempting to solve it, would we get to better outcomes?

Sweet dreams aren’t made of this Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know what is going on inside my head lately. I had a dream last night that went from my grappling with HUMOR a personal case of head lice while babysitting a couple of pre-teen strangers to me at a parade where deceased friends and family were stopping to say hello.

I didn’t awake until the zombie horde forced a semi off a bridge next to where I was standing. I asked my husband Doo what he thought these visions meant, and he responded with a short monologue of Sigmund Freud emphatically telling him to “Get out. NOW.” Hilarious.

Doo also reminded me that I had left a bathroom drawer open, wide enough so that when he stumbled in this morning, he clocked his left thigh so hard he now has a noticeable bruise. I vaguely recall rummaging for Advil around 4 a.m. while peering through a window to determine if a tornado

was afoot. I guess the screaming wind and the dead-people visits distracted me from closing up shop, so to speak.

All this is to say that clearly I have too much on my plate, at least subconsciously.

As I type, I am mentally listing today’s “chores” along with work and family “stuff” that needs to be addressed in the near future. But what’s a mom to do? Ignore parenting, wife-ing, teaching, cleaning, managing, shopping, disciplining, exercising, planning, living altogether?

I’m certain the spicy food and the devil/ vampire shows aren’t helping, but in my defense, have you watched “Lucifer” yet?

Terrible, but oddly alluring. So, I’ll just have to deal with the crazy dreams and hope life settles soon. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.”

– St. Catherine of Siena

Editor, I’d like to congratulate BraunAbility on moving to our fantastic community. I’m happy to hear that they are bringing 100 existing workers and hiring 70 more in the coming years as part of their move.

While we should welcome them into our community, a balance needs to be achieved between tax subsidy agreements and their impact on existing small businesses and our citizens. Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered BraunAbility up to $1.3 million in conditional tax credits while the city of Carmel is offering additional incentives in the form of a limited tax abatement. We should ask ourselves why large businesses get tax credits when our local small businesses are struggling to survive?

While Mayor Jim Brainard says that this is a benefit to taxpayers, these offsets have to be made up for somewhere along the line. Ultimately, this is at the cost of our citizens and small businesses. A community needs both to keep thriving, and I believe that my vision will help provide the proper balance to bring these businesses to Carmel without using taxpayer money to do it.

Fred Glynn, candidate for mayor of Carmel

A different word for everything Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I are going to South America this fall and we decided we both should learn a little Spanish. I ordered HUMOR some language CDs but was having serious problems memorizing the vocabulary, so I got a stack of sticky notes and labeled everything in the house, like the chair (la silla), the table (la mesa), the door (la puerta) and the mirror (el espejo).

In Spanish, nouns are identified as masculine or feminine. This confounded me in high school and accounted for my low grades. The teacher said I had some gender confusion, which was the last thing I needed to hear right before I asked Darla to the senior prom.

When Mary Ellen got home and saw the notes, she wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t as ticked off as our cat (el gato) Angel, who kept walking in circles because of the sticky note on her tail. Angel also was unhappy to learn that “el gato” is a masculine noun. I tried to explain to her that there wasn’t a neuter pronoun, but that brought back a lot of bad memories for her.

At breakfast, Mary Ellen and I compete

to see who is making the most progress, but we are using different learning aids, like when we took dancing lessons and we each had our own teacher. We were dynamite with our own instructors, but dreadful together.

I realized Mary Ellen was only memorizing expressions that had practical value for her on the trip, like, “Ricardo, quiero ir a una tienda con ropa exclusiva.” I later found out this meant: “I want to go shopping at an exclusive clothing store.”

My only retort was using words I learned the previous night: Mi elefante tiene dos hermanas (My elephant has two sisters).

I think my wife will be able to employ her language skills better than I will.

Mary Ellen and I have been having a lot of fun learning a new language. However, we do have one concern. In a happy marriage like ours, the phrase, “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” should not be uttered in every conversation.

Lighten your child’s backpack Commentary by Dr. Kris Homb Are geography, geometry and other heavy textbooks weighing your child down? It’s possible.

SAFETY While making sure your child has the right materials for his or her classes, take a look at your child’s backpack.

Choose a backpack that has two wide, padded straps, a padded back and a waist strap. Kids should hook backpacks through both arms, not just one.

Lighter is better Many experts say backpacks should not weigh more than about 10 percent of a child’s body weight. So, a 100-pound child shouldn’t tote more than 10 pounds in a backpack.

Teach children to pack the heaviest books first. These items should be closest to the back. Try to limit the amount of time children lug their backpacks and remind them to stash items in their lockers when they can.

A safety checklist Carrying heavy backpacks or wearing them incorrectly can lead to posture problems and back, shoulder and neck pain.

Here’s how to lighten your kids’ loads: • Buy a pack with a waist strap and make sure your children use it for heavy loads.

• Tell your kids to bend with both knees — rather than bending at the waist — when picking up a heavy pack.

• Make sure the straps of the backpack are wide and padded for comfort.

• Tell your kids it’s important to use both shoulder straps. Wearing a backpack only on one shoulder could increase curvature of the spine and strain muscles.

You may notice the overloaded backpack problem beginning in middle school, as your child’s school and homework load increases.

Although many schools have transitioned school books and equipment to electronic platforms such as laptops and tablets, it’s still worth watching so that your child’s back isn’t impacted later in life.

Dr. Kris Homb is a nonsurgical spine and sports specialist at IU Health North in Carmel.

West Coast company stREITwise has made its second investment in Carmel, purchasing the Allied SoluREAL ESTATE tions building in Carmel for $32 million from Ambrose Property Group.

“The Allied Solutions Building itself is clearly at the epicenter of a burgeoning ‘suburban urban’ renaissance,” stREITwise CEO Eliot Bencuya said. “And with long-term commitments from the anchor tenants, the property provides stable cash flows while providing an opportunity to participate in the future upside of Midtown Carmel.”

Bencuya said the modern office employee places a top priority on workplace amenities.

“The Midtown Carmel redevelopment is quickly becoming the epitome of suburban, urban environments,” he said.

In 2016, stREITwise purchased a building at 550 Congressional Blvd. in Carmel. The California-based company acquires commercial properties and then allows the public to invest into the portfolio.

“Historically, commercial real estate own-

ership has been limited to direct ownership, exchange traded REITs, private syndications, or non-traded REITs distributed by brokerages, or sales agents charging significant commissions and fees,” Bencuya said.

“Today, new regulations have allowed a fresh batch of companies to provide online access directly to the public thereby drastically reducing associated fees and providing additional transparency.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said stREITwise’s purchase of the Allied Solutions Building “is a great example of how a city that invests in itself can attract additional private investments.”

In 2016 it was announced as a $32.9 million project.

Barrington faces bankruptcy

By Maria Cook • news@currentincarmel.com The company that owns upscale seniorliving community The Barrington has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a COURTS Dallas court.

Delaware-based Mayflower Communities Inc., which owns The Barrington, owes $52 million to an unspecified number of residents, according to court documents.

Residents pay six-figure refundable entrance fees to live in the community, and usually they are partially refunded to residents or their estates if they move out or pass away. The residents are considered unsecured creditors, meaning they will not be repaid until after secured creditors and bondholders.

The Barrington is a nonprofit organization, funded in part by municipal bonds.

Mayflower Communities Inc. defaulted on multiple bond payments in November 2018.

The City of Carmel sold $119 million in bonds for Mayflower in 2012, which have an outstanding balance of $92.7 million, according to local news reports.

The terms of the bonds state that the City of Carmel is not financially responsible for the debt. According to City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely, the city is not expected to face any long-term repercussions should The Barrington eventually close.

“We work very hard to provide the infrastructure and quality-of-life attributes to support our local small businesses, and we hate to see any business, large or small, have difficulties,” McFeely said. “But that is the nature of the free market. Thanks to our diverse economy, we are confident that the loss of one of our employers will not have a longterm negative impact on Carmel’s economy.”

The Barrington opened in 2014 and includes 271 living units on nearly 20 acres and employs more than 200 people. Operations are continuing as normal.

MomentPath to expand — Carmel-based MomentPath, a software company that provides a platform to help child care providers connect with loved ones will hire up to 50 new employees by 2022. The company plans to invest more than $800,000 in its operations over the next four years. MomentPath, 23 E. Main St., plans to move into a new office within six months.

Swift, Green combine for jazz concert at The Tarkington

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It’s fitting that Veronica Swift combines musical forces with Benny Green.

Swift is the daughter CONCERT of late bebop pianist Hod O’Brien and jazz vocalist Stephanie Nakasian. Swift, 24, has been performing since she was 9 years old.

“Of course, it is a great honor to play with Benny Green, a bebop messenger and someone who possesses so much of the lineage at his fingers,” Swift said. “My dad and Benny toured together back in 2007 as part of the ‘100 Gold Fingers Tour,’ and since then I have been a fan of Benny’s.

I remember meeting him when I was around 12, and now getting to play with him, it’s like completing the circle “ Swift and the Benny Green Trio will perform at 8 p.m. March 8 at The Tarkington in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Green, a pianist and composer, has toured and recorded with jazz icons like Art Blakey, Ray Brown, Betty Carter and Freddie Hubbard. Green was a member of Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.

“What Benny and I do, and what I am known for is, of course, doing classics from the Great American Songbook and also bebop lines. Sometimes I sing as a horn, wordless,” Swift said. “But I am also known for taking more obscure jazz tunes not known by popular masses, or even modern theater tunes that aren’t in jazz repertoire, and making them sound as if they were written in the golden age of song.”

For Swift, jazz is second nature.

“Most people would think that this is a passion, that performing jazz is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Swift said. “This isn’t necessarily wrong, but how I explain it to people is I don’t think anything of it.

It’s just what I’ve known all my life. Are you passionate about speaking English?

It’s the same principle. You don’t think about it, but when you do, you wouldn’t change your roots for anything, and you’re thankful for what they teach you. My relationship with jazz is, metaphorically and

literally, my relationship with my parents.

It’s the core and base of my existence.”

As she gains experience, Swift said she wants to explore even more diverse arrangements and pull from different genres to add to what will become her own sound.

“Even finding songs that come out today and lyrical content that speaks to my generation and mixing it with the sound of Songbook,” she said. “That, to me, is what always keeps this music fresh.”

Swift performs regularly at New York City’s famed Birdland Jazz Club and ap-

pears regularly at Jazz at Lincoln Center with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. She was a 2015 prizewinner at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Vocals Competition.

Critics have compared her smooth style and scatting to Anita O’Day, June Christy and Annie Ross.

The concert is part of the Center for the Performing Arts Emerging Artists series, featuring performers who are on the rise or otherwise new to central Indiana.

Muresanu joins CSO for concert

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Music Director Janna Hymes is eager to renew her friendship with violinist Irina CONCERT Muresanu, on and off the stage.

“We’ve performed together probably 10 times all over the place,” said Hymes, in her second year as CSO conductor. “She is a wonderful musician. We have a very similar style of music-making, so it’s very easy. It’s a great collaboration.”

Muresanu will join CSO for the concert at 7:30 p.m. March 9 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Hymes said she doesn’t see Muresanu often because of their busy schedules, but they are still good friends.

“When we do work together and see each other, it’s just a wonderful reunion,” Hymes said. “I’m very excited to introduce her to the Carmel audience. She’s a fantastic musician and a great teacher as well.”

Muresanu is on the faculty of the University of Maryland and has taught at the Boston Conservatory and in the Harvard and MIT music department. She plays a violin that is 170 years old.

Violinist Irina Muresanu will perform with Carmel Symphony Orchestra March 9. (Submitted photo)

There will be three different pieces in the concert, opening with “Overture to Die Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss II. Hymes said she expects the performance of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto” will be an audience favorite.

The final piece will be Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations.”

Beyond the back door Commentary by Randy Sorrell Have you noticed how many outdoor living spaces, especially patios, are beginning to resemble each OUTDOOR LIVING other? Me, too, and it’s time to act.

Understand that we love our supplier’s inspirational catalogs, gigabytes of Houzz pictures and Pinterest boards that we reference occasionally for reflection. But it seems our industry is leaning a little too heavy on the catalogs for patio design.

Let’s bravely grow beyond that so that your space resembles your taste, your style and your sense of purpose!

Your story/design/style/process It really does start with your story. Creating an incredible outdoor living space becomes much simpler and refined when we develop a healthy client relationship, learn entertaining habits, appreciate your family dynamics and unfold how you hope to enjoy the space. That’s when it becomes personal!

That relationship allows inspired design to seamlessly unfold, which confidently flows to style. Style is enormously under-

rated. Style fuels inspiration, color and mood. It separates your living space from the masses.

This multi-layered process is comprised of hundreds of intricate decisions, most of which are informally answered behind the scenes in our brainstorming sessions, at 3 a.m.-can’t-sleep-epiphany moments and whiteboard sketches. Skilled designers naturally narrow any substantial decisions to a handful of appropriate answers for the team to manage.

Want more?

If you have an interest in learning more details on creating your stylish new patio, join us at the Indiana Design Center March 9 at 11 a.m. immediately outside our suite, 120A, for delicious bites as we imagine the “Secret Ingredients of Stylish Outdoor Spaces!”

Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel homeimprovement firm. He may be reached at 317-679-2565, randy@choosesurroundings.com or www.choosesurroundings.com.

The Woodbrook Elementary PTO Mane Bash Committee would like to thank everyone who contributed to making our 2019 event such a success. The 1920’s themed evening was held at Woodland Country Club on February 2, 2019 and included silent and live auctions, which raised more than $25,000 for our school!

We want to thank our sponsors, donors, Woodbrook families, friends, and staff for their generosity and enthusiasm toward this annual event.

“Cut out all these exclamation points.

An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.” -F. GRAMMAR GUY Scott Fitzgerald Legend has it that the exclamation point has its origins in the Middle Ages. At the end of a sentence in which a medieval copyist wanted to indicate or emphasize joy, he would write the Latin word “io,” which means “joy.”

Over time, the “i” moved above the “o” and the “o” became small enough to become a point, evolving into the exclamation point.

There’s an episode of “Seinfeld” where Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend after he doesn’t use an exclamation point when writing down a phone message for her. A Plenty of Fish Conversation Nation 2018 survey found that “58 percent of singles say bad grammar is a bigger turn off than bad sex.” Especially in an age where texting and messaging account for much of the communication between potential love matches, grammar and punctuation play a significant role in your love life.

So, what’s my point, already? Should we use exclamation points or should we prac-

tice total exclamatory abstinence, as F. Scott Fitzgerald suggested? According to the AP Stylebook, we should “avoid overuse of exclamation points. Use to express a high degree of surprise, incredulity or other strong emotion.”

Here’s my point on exclamation points: Don’t go crazy with them. In the same way that bolding an entire section of text, therefore, makes nothing important, dropping in exclamation points all willy-nilly makes you look like a person who has had a few too many espressos. Never use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence; it’s just unnecessary.

Doing so takes your rhetoric to DEFCON 1 and makes the reader think there’s a giant asteroid hurtling toward Earth.

I suggest discussing exclamation point usage early on in a relationship so that you can weed out someone whose punctuation habits aren’t compatible with yours.

Sniff an orange. Studies have shown that orange essential oil helps boost mood and alertness and can reduce anxiety. If you don’t keep the fresh fruit on hand, buy some bottled oil and dab a drop on each wrist or massage into your temples for the same effect.
