By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com After months of debate among residents, it appears the proposed Islamic Life Center will have a home in Carmel.

City may use eminent domain

Home Place annexed March 1

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

For years, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has said he wants a mixed-use development built at the DEVELOPMENT northeast corner of Range Line Road and Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District, which is currently a parking lot for PNC Bank.

Brainard moved plans forward in 2016 with architectural drawings drafted by Studio M Architecture & Planning. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission started purchasing neighboring buildings and began negotiating with PNC Bank to buy its building, demolish it and construct a new public-private partnership.

But Brainard said the plans have stalled because PNC is asking for more than six times the property’s appraised value.

As a result, Brainard said the City of Carmel is considering eminent domain to seize the land.

“We’re beginning the taking process,” he said.

Brainard said negotiations are ongoing and he wants to reach a suitable price. He said eminent domain would be appropriate

The City of Carmel sent letters to Home Place residents outlining the timeline for services provided for the CITY NEWS 1,017 square acres of previously unincorporated land centered at 106th Street and College Avenue.

In October 2017, the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a decision to allow Carmel’s annexation of Home Place. In November 2017, the city reached an agreement with the group Concerned Citizens for Home Place to allow Carmel to proceed with annexation after Jan 1. Carmel set the annexation date for March 1, meaning the city has until March 1, 2019, to begin providing operational services such as police protection and snow removal. Previously, the services were provided by the county.

The yearlong delay in providing services is to allow tax revenue to be collected to fund them. Some services will start immediately, such as trash pick-up.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard explained the process in a letter dated Feb. 27.

“One of my goals is to work together to continue to recognize Home Place as a dis-

for a redevelopment site. He cited Indiana Code 36-7-14-20, which states, “if the legislative body of the unit that established the department of redevelopment considers it necessary to acquire real property in a redevelopment project area by the exercise of the power of eminent domain,” that the legislative body can instruct an attorney to file a petition for eminent domain.

The new development would have space for a public plaza, according to the architectural sketches. Many of the city festivals that used to take place in the PNC parking lot have been moved to other spaces such as the Indiana Design Center because PNC has since denied usage.

PNC could not be reached for comment.

tinct neighborhood but provide the firstclass services for which Carmel is known,” he stated. “One of the major reasons that I have been working to consolidate is to provide more efficient government that, in the long run, cost less in taxes.”

Brainard said during the next few years city officials will seek input from Home Place neighbors about street and other improvements.

The city will begin focusing on code enforcement by doing a block-by-block analysis of issues and address worst offenders such as absentee landlords that have allowed junk to accumulate and properties to deteriorate. Some street trees that pose a risk to public health or safety will be removed from public rights of way.

The city will also complete a review of commercial properties to determine which areas could benefit from improvements made by the Carmel Redevelopment Commission.

Democratic women stepping up

By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com During a conference at the Indiana Statehouse Jan. 18, Hoosier Women Forward announced plans to initiate a POLITICS leadership training program this summer for Democratic women.

HWF is a nonprofit dedicated to educating and encouraging women to pursue political office.

Thornton “We want to harness the energy and talent that’s out there, all across Indiana, and create a powerful, diverse network of engaged Democratic women,” Liane Hulka, attorney and HWF board chair, stated in a press release. “Our mission is to increase the number and influence of Democratic women in elected and appointed governmental positions at the local, state and federal levels and in positions of influence in their communities and the private sector.”

HWF will select 20 to 25 Democratic women each year to participate in a nine-month training program that combines study, mentorship and field experience to illuminate the path to political office.

Dierdre Thornton, a Carmel resident running for

the Democratic nomination for the 5th Congressional District, said she learned about the organization through Hulka and is optimistic about the results. Thornton will be guest speaker and a resource for program participants.

“I see (my role) now being an advocate and to share with other women that there’s an organization out there that will support them if that’s what they aspire to do,” Thornton said.

Fishers resident Poonam Gill GIll will work with HWF in a similar way. Gill was motivated to run for the Indiana House of Representatives this year after noting the disparity between the number of men and women in elected office.

“When we have 50 percent of our voting public in Indiana as women but only 20 percent of our elected officials are women, we have to somehow close that gap,” she said. “How do we do that? We have to be willing to step up and get involved.”

Gill said HWF is looking for applicants to volunteer, advocate and stay active in their communities.

Applications will be available in May. The inaugural program will begin in September. For more, visit hoosierwomenforward.org.

Home Place leader challenges Altman

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Matt Milam, who led the residential group that opposed Carmel’s annexation of Home Place, has filed to run against incumbent Christine Altman for Hamilton County commissioner District 1.

COUNTY Milam, an operations specialist at Reindeer Auto Solutions, has never run for public office but said he was interested after Carmel reached a deal to annex Home Place, the 1,017 square acres of unincorporated land centered at 106th Street and College Avenue. Milam led a grassroots effort to oppose annexation because he said Carmel’s debt is out of control and he didn’t Milam Altman want to pay taxes to support Carmel’s spending. He expressed interest in running for municipal office in 2019 but decided instead on running for a county seat, although he didn’t rule out running for city council if he loses against Altman in the May primary.

Milam said he and Altman disagree on mass transit. Milam opposes the idea and Altman supports it.

“I think mass transit is going to be a big issue for voters,” he said.

Altman, a lawyer by trade, was first elected as a commissioner in 2003. She was a partner for the law firm Campbell Kyle Proffit LLP and later became a founding member of the law firm Altman, Poindexter & Wyatt LLC. Altman ran unopposed in the 2014 and 2010 primaries.

The Carmel High School boys swimming team celebrates winning the state title. (Submitted photo)

CHS dominates state meet

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel High School boys swimming team’s chemistry translated into dominance.

The top-ranked GreySWIMMING hounds captured their fourth consecutive IHSAA Swimming and Diving State Finals title Feb. 24 at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI with a record 417 points, 215 more than second-place Franklin Community.

“The key was getting the boys to buy in to each other and that the group could be greater than the sum of their parts,” CHS coach Chris Plumb said. The point total surpassed his own expectations, Plumb said.

“I thought we could beat the record, and we had a shot at 400,” he said. “I think the surprises were in winning all the close races. You expect to win some, but not 9 of 11 (swimming events).”

Senior Drew Kibler won the 50-yard freestyle in 19.50 seconds and the 100 butterfly in 47.16 seconds. Kibler joined seniors Stefano Batista, Andrew Couchon

and sophomore Wyatt Davis on winning the 200 medley relay. Kibler and Davis joined senior Brett Sherman and sophomore Jacob Mitchell on winning the 400 freestyle relay.

Kibler set a state and national record in the Feb. 23 preliminaries in the 50 freestyle with a time of 19.38 seconds.

Plumb said it has been special to watch Kibler compete.

“He works hard on his craft and it shows up in the meet,” he said.

Davis also was a double individual winner, taking the 200 individual medley and the 100 backstroke.

“The 200 IM was something we weren’t really thinking of six weeks ago, so that was a special swim,” Plumb said of Davis.

“He is a tough competitor.”

Other winners for Carmel were Mitchell in the 500 freestyle, Batista in the 100 breaststroke and the 200 freestyle relay (Batista, Couchon, Mitchell and Alec DeLong).

The 200 medley relay also set a state record of 1:28 in the preliminaries.

Why does Carmel have fewer potholes than Indianapolis?

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The city of Indianapolis recently filled more than 30,000 potholes in its roads, and there’s still plenty INFRASTRUCTURE of work to be done. As of March 2, the city’s website reported nearly 8,000 potholes still needed to be filled.

In Carmel, meanwhile, the number of reported potholes was 223 as of March 2, and the Carmel Street Dept. has already responded to patch each one.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said it’s hard to find many potholes compared to Indianapolis because Carmel spends more than three times as much per resident on resurfacing.

In 2017, Indianapolis spent $16 million on resurfacing roads while Carmel spent $6 million. That’s $18.50 per capita spent in Indianapolis and $66.66 per capita in Carmel.

“We don’t let the base of the roads deteriorate,” Brainard said. “That’s what causes potholes is water coming up from the bottom.”

So why can Carmel spend more than three times as much per person on road resurfacing than Indianapolis? There are many reasons, but one is the median income of residents: Carmel’s is $113,194 and Indianapolis’s is $44,615.

Brainard said Carmel also has more snow removal vehicles on the road per resident.

Brainard said Indianapolis has about 120 snow removal trucks out after a snowfall while Carmel has about 90. He said it’s because Carmel adds plows to other city vehicles, and cross-trains employees on snow removal. Getting the roads cleared quickly helps prevent the melting/freezing process that causes ice to expand in cracks and create potholes.

Brainard also said Carmel spends less on tort claims because of damage from potholes. More than 100 people have filed claims against Indianapolis because of property damage from potholes for 2018.

Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely said the number is usually about a half-dozen a year for Carmel. Last year, it was five.

Another obvious difference is that Indianapolis has more land mass and roads than Carmel. Indianapolis has 8,100 miles of street lanes to cover, and city officials estimate it would cost $732 million to upgrade the road conditions to “fair.” Carmel has 486 lane miles that need to be maintained.

Brainard said Marion County has too many roads serving one-story developments. He said Carmel’s increased density has made it possible to keep up with road conditions.

Some in Marion County have proposed a commuter tax to help solve Indianapolis’ budget problem when it comes to maintaining roads.

The tax would benefit cities like Indianapolis that have a larger population during the day than at night because so many people live in the suburbs but drive to Indianapolis for work. They only pay income taxes for the county in which they reside.

According to 2016 figures, Indianapolis saw its daytime population rise by 119,797 because of commuters, which is about 14 percent. The figure doesn’t include all commuters into Indianapolis because some Indianapolis residents commute to other places.

Under a potential commuter tax, the county that hosts a job would receive a portion of income tax either by raising taxes or distributing the existing taxes.

Some estimates project it could mean $25 million in additional revenue for Indianapolis every year.

Brainard noted that Carmel also has a larger population during the day, about 14 percent more with a daytime population increase of 12,747 because of commuters.

“From a revenue standpoint, (a commuter tax) would be great because we have more people coming into Carmel during the day than going out,” he said. “A lot of people in Marion County don’t realize that.”

Despite how lucrative it would be, Brainard said he opposes the idea.

“It’s going to give kids exposure to different makerspace materials, and then our goal is after they’ve had these exposures, they are able to come up with a project that solves some sort of problem,” Dragash said.

The middle school students are benefiting from the program as well.

“I think it’s a lot of fun to be able to teach them and show the kids how to do these different things and make it so they understand and learn,” sixth-grader Katie Rizzuto said.

Carmel High School raised $453,935 for Riley Hospital for Children during its annual Dance Marathon, held Feb. 24 at the school. CHS senior Bella Simons was the top fundraiser, bringing in more than $5,000. She has had two brain surgeries at Riley and shared her story during the event.

Prairie Trace Elementary students learned from a new set of teachers in February. Clay Middle School EDUCATION sixth-grade students visited the elementary for the second time to teach the students about robotic programs and STEM. The idea originated when Prairie Trace media specialist Denise Dragash worked with CMS to write a grant, which was then awarded to the schools through the Carmel Education Foundation.

“They allowed us to get some different STEM objects,” Dragash said. “They’re more robotic in nature or involve coding, things like that.”

The middle school students learn how to operate the programs, then travel to Prairie Trace to share what they learned with the younger students. Prairie Trace secondgrade students have the option to utilize the programs when they construct a project to solve a problem for the Mini Maker Fair at 6 p.m. May 7 at the Carmel Clay Public Library, 55 4th Ave. SE. The fair is similar to a science fair and open to the public.

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com An IUPUI professor of mechanical engineering said he has discovered a way to make a paper-thin TECHNOLOGY cellphone with 10 times the battery power, making constant charging of portable devices a thing of the past.

In a paper published by Nature Energy, Carmel resident Jian Xie and a team of authors, including School of Engineering and Technology post-doctoral research associates Yadong Liu and Le Xin, post-doctoral research associates Qi Liu and doctorate student Fan Yang, unveiled how they solved a long-standing mystery in the portable electronics world regarding the size and power capacity of a battery.

Xie and his team accomplished it by manipulating the growth of dendrites, crystals that grow inside lithium metal electrodes, of a battery. According to Xie, the discovery makes possible smaller, paper-thin batteries with higher-charging capacities.

Xie said he concluded that he could not stop the growth of the dendrites, but he could manipulate the way they grow.

From left, IUPUI’s Jian Xie, Yadong Liu and Fan Yang believe they have revolutionized the power of batteries. (Submitted photo)

Dendrites typically grow outward, like a tree, which eventually causes the battery to short-circuit and prevents it from recharging.

Instead of trying to prevent the growth of dendrites, Xie and his team discovered that if they manipulated the growth direction of the dendrites to create a denselypacked layer, they could safely increase the charging capacity and shrink the size of a battery.

“We designed the working principle based on electroplating, and the experiment turned out to work exactly as designed — a rarity in my 35-year research career,” Xie stated in a press release.

School shooting inspires song

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com The Boulevard, a band consisting of longtime friends and former Carmel residents Dalton Wixom, David THE BOULEVARD Lehr and Clayton Collins, released a new song, “Control,” Feb. 18. It encourages listeners to take action against gun violence.

After reading about the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Fla., Wixom said he was sick of gun violence, and the only thing he could do was write. He went into the basement of the band’s Nashville, Tenn., home and finished the song within two hours.

“We really hope it can reach anybody that’s been affected by it or feels even a little bit the same way we do about it,” he said. “We didn’t really have any expectations for releasing it or any major plans with it, but we figured if it could change anyone’s mind or (for) anyone who is indifferent about the topic, persuade them to want to do something or make a change or at least get it stuck in somebody’s head. It

is a serious issue and it should be something they’re taking not lightheartedly.”

In just one week, the band recorded and mixed the audio and produced a music video.

“It just kind of came together very organically,” Wixom said.

Lehr said there should be stricter regulations regarding AR-15 rifles and other assault-style weapon purchases to prevent violence. Collins said there should be more consistency between background check requirements at the state and federal level.

CHS grad launches inner-city program to build community leaders

By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com During her time at Carmel High School, Maddy Pascascio volunteered at Shepherd Community Center in Indianapolis with a group called Student Venture. Pascascio, 23, credits that experience with igniting her pasCOVER STORY sion for volunteering and giving back.

“It was like we couldn’t get enough of being with the kids and being with the families,” she said. “Their stories were really impactful, especially coming from Carmel. Growing up in such a great city, to see the struggles that they were facing was definitely eye-opening for me and really changed the way that I thought about the world.”

Pascascio collaborated with friends Sara Rogers, Maddie Luros and Rachel Milkie in 2012 to found Like A Lion, a program designed to help underserved youth in Indianapolis.

Rogers still works in the program, but Luros no longer lives in Indiana.

From left, Maddy Pascascio, Maddie Luros and Sara Rogers, three of the Like A Lion founders, pause during the 2013 summer camp program. (Submitted photo)

The inspiration

Pascascio also volunteered at the BEACH, a smaller branch of Shepherd, where she met Milkie in 2010. When it shut down, they discussed starting their own program for those children. Milkie was 21 at the time and Pascascio was 17.

“It was really about those kids,” Milkie said. “We had really deep relationships with those kids and we both knew that we wanted to be in this field.”

After graduating from CHS in 2012, Pascascio started meeting with the students once a week at parks throughout the city for reading, writing and math with the other founders. They decided to continue those field trips each summer while Pascascio was home from college.

Pascascio attended Indiana University for one semester but said she was miserable being away from the children.

She transferred to IUPUI to finish her education while she and Milkie developed a plan to offer after-school care and summer camp options for their students.

When choosing a name for the program, Pascascio and Milkie were inspired by one of their their favorite songs, “God’s Not Dead (Like A Lion).”

“I thought, ‘When else in my life am I going to have the capability to not take a paycheck with a job or to be able to have something on the side and not have real-life expenses?’” Pascascio said.

Jim Shinaver, Pascascio’s uncle and partner at the Carmel law firm Nelson & Frankenberger, is one of the many sponsors of Like A Lion. He said he was impressed that the women turned their passion into a career that makes a difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth.

“I think one of the most important things they do is not only their programs, but just as importantly, they’re teach-

ing these kids that people care about them,” he said.

lunch and participate in STEM projects, interest clubs and social and emotional learning classes. There is a field trip every Thursday.

The after-school program runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Students work on homework, participate in Bible study and receive dinner every night.

Milkie said the organization has had a 100 percent retention rate for the last two years.

“We make it clear that we are here,” Pascascio said. “We will be here every day. Here you can be safe, known and loved.”

For more, visit likealionfamily.squarespace.com.

The goal

Like A Lion was incorporated in July 2014, just one month after the program found a home at Otterbein United Methodist Church. The nonprofit’s mission is to spread the gospel of Christ and offer spiritual, emotional and academic support to youth.

“Our vision is to create indigenous community leaders out of our kids,” Pascascio said. “We want to be empowering our kids that are in this community to love their community and to desire to give back to it as they grow up and have the resources and knowledge to (do so).”

Like A Lion serves children in kindergarten through sixth grade on the east side of Indianapolis, specifically from the Brookside, Brightwood and Otterbein neighborhoods.

Deborah Murray’s two great-grandsons have been participating in the program for almost a year. She said the boys are learning respect and coming home full of energy and joy.

“This is really beautiful,” Murray said. “It seems like the kids want to strive to do good.”

The summer program runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Evolution of life

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For some, reading and study is the key to all things. For others, experience is required to achieve adequate understanding.

Still, for most of us, we construct a reasonable composite of the two. We read, then do, then read a bit more and repeat. During the span of a long lifetime, we come to accumulate a conception about which things are best experienced blindly and which absolutely require some preparation.

American author Heidi Murkoff can claim the sales of more than 19 million copies of her iconic book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” First-time parents around the world (and more than a few who are taking a refresher course) have found preknowledge imperative to managing the process. Like most successful ventures, this one has inspired countless sequels and imitators. The “What to Expect” series has sold tens of millions of copies and is published in more than 30 languages.

Is there a seminal book for each precipice in life? Is there one that will make our transition to marriage, pet ownership or midlife better understood? And, can we learn to “expect” all of the future machinations yet to come? It may be more fun to plan for an upcoming wedding than to adjust to life after divorce or death, but can’t we learn and prepare for either with the same sense of nervous anticipation?

There is a certain power to be found in knowing, preparing and practicing.

But with it can come a sense of anxiety, insecurity and worry. If ours is life everevolving, isn’t it better to embrace it expectantly, not begrudgingly? It may be the only choice we have.

READER’S VIEW Why I’m supporting Matt Milam Editor, I am supporting Matt Milam for Hamilton County commissioner in his race against incumbent Christine Altman for several reasons. Matt is opposed to additional taxes, especially an income tax, to pay for mass transit in our suburban county. Ms. Altman is one of the leading proponents of higher taxes for mass transit.

As Matt’s campaign treasurer, I called nine of the largest donors to Ms. Altman’s campaign in 2017 to see if they wanted to speak with Matt so he could learn their concerns. These donors are engineers and contractors. Is it possible they want both a fully funded road system as we now have and additional tax money to engineer and build an unnecessary mass transit system? I don’t know, since no one has indicated they want to meet with Matt to discuss what interests them so much in Hamilton County politics that they have helped Ms. Altman amass a $158,000 campaign war chest through

the years, despite having no opposition recently.

She also serves as the attorney for two of the nine townships in our county.

At a commissioner meeting Feb. 17, 2015, Altman asked the client of Christine Altman, the Wayne Township Trustee, “if she had any concerns.” I do have concerns: Where does Commissioner Christine Altman end and where does attorney Christine Altman, begin?”

Let’s let her focus on her legal clients, her tax bills and bids, her business ventures and advocating for unpopular and unnecessary mass transit income taxes as a private citizen, and let’s let Matt Milam focus on the citizens of Hamilton County by nominating him May 8. Please visit matt4hc.com to help end Commissioner Altman’s long and undistinguished reign.

Eric S. Morris, Home Place Treasurer, Friends of Matt Milam For the full letter, visit youarecurrent.com.

A former neighbor has been bugging me to spice things up a bit (yes, you, JM!), so here goes nothing. As an HUMOR educator, I find the prospect of arming teachers utterly ridiculous. You can agree or disagree, but trust me when I say we are the last people you want packing heat.

First, most schools are already prisonlike. We sentence kids to 12 years of highly structured days where they can’t even use the restroom when they want. If you add a bunch of armed guards, aka “teachers,” you’re only a barbed-wire fence away from Shawshank High. I prefer not to work at a state penitentiary, and I certainly don’t want my own children incarcerated in one (Wilson Family goal No. 6: Avoid penal institutions at all costs!). I’m there to teach, not to patrol the halls with my Glock.

Second, most teachers would make terrible shots. I took a handgun class a few years ago in preparation for the zombie apocalypse and also have spent time with my husband, Doo, an avid hunter, “learnin’ me some rifle shootin.’” If I had an hour or so, I could maybe load the thing, fire off a few rounds and hit a paper target, perhaps once. Unless someone plans to send me to sniper training and offer professional development sessions in marksmanship every week for the rest of my career, I will not be effective in a crisis situation. My medium is chalk, friends, not bullets!

Obviously, something must change in our nation, and we need to engage in conversations about meaningful, realistic solutions.

But trust me, arming teachers is not the answer.

Peace out.

Spring into these gift ideas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I just received my greatly anticipated spring edition of the “Hammacher Schlemmer” catalog, which provides HUMOR a new opportunity to skewer their latest array of gifts.

The HS catalogs always begin with a letter from the chairman, John MacArthur. This issue’s introduction includes, “Discover our quality products, innovative products, products that are one of a kind, and unusual products…” One product they obviously don’t sell is a thesaurus.

Here are a few of my favorites from this spring edition: • The Year of Your Birth Folding Knife: There is a brand new uncirculated penny embedded in the handle that was minted in the year of your birth.

Murderers, you should avoid leaving a weapon like this behind, because it could help police identify you…unless you look great for your age. Or terrible.

• Voice Clarifying TV Speaker: This not only boosts the sound of dialogue but also “amplifies speech frequencies.” I have no idea what that means, but it might be the perfect gift for friends

who love British mysteries. They never know “who done it,” because they can’t understand a word the English actors are saying.

• The Silent Speaking Dog Toy: OK, hang on to your shih tzu. These are toys that make a soothing sound only your dog can hear. I think this is a fair question: How do you know when it’s broken? Or if it ever worked?

• The Barber Eliminator: Sadly, it’s not what I thought. It’s just an electric hair trimmer. I was hoping to find an easy way to tell the guy who’s been cutting my hair for 40 years that I’m ready to move on.

• The Gorilla in the Room: This is a 96-inch, inflatable PVC gorilla for those people who love the expression “800-pound gorilla in the room.” OK, this might be funny the first time your friends see it, but it will quickly become the 19-pound gorilla on eBay.

Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel will host a fundraiser for Restored, Inc., an Indianapolis-based nonFUNDRAISER profit that addresses human sex trafficking throughout the state.

The event, “Springtime in Italy: A Time for Renewal,” is a four-course wine dinner at 7 p.m. April 24. Tickets are $75, which includes a charitable donation but not tax or tip. Tickets can be purchased at 9 W. Main Street in Carmel or online at donatellosrestored.eventbrite.com.

Restored helps raise awareness and provides education and advocacy on the issue of human sex trafficking. In addition, victim services are offered, such as emergency housing referrals, trauma counseling, court advocacy, food/clothing, medical help and more.

Hamilton County hasn’t been immune to cases of human trafficking. In 2016, au-

thorities identified nine young girls from Hamilton County who were purchased by adults for sex. The youngest girl was 11.

Nationally, 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported that they were likely sex-trafficking victims, according to a 2016 report by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Globally, estimates show that 4.5 million people have been trapped in human sex trafficking, according to the International Labor Organization.

Those interested in sponsoring the event can contact Donatello’s co-owner Adam Aasen at adamaasen@gmail.com.

“We are so thankful for everyone who has decided to support this important cause,” Aasen said. “I personally visited Restored’s offices and spoke to their staff and I can attest that these selfless servants are truly doing God’s work as they work tirelessly to both help victims and prevent future human trafficking cases. I just can’t say enough about the good work they do.”

Couple fights rare diseases

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Elizabeth Quinby’s life changed drastically in 2013 when she was diagnosed with polycythemia vera, a rare SUPPORT blood cancer in which a patient’s bone marrow creates excess red blood cells, thickening the blood and causing clots.

At the time, Elizabeth owned two cafés in medical buildings, and her husband, Scott, was working for a plastics company.

When she stopped working, Scott took over the household.

That all changed Jan. 14 when Scott was diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, an immunodeficiency that causes the body to make too many activated immune cells. After running tests during multiple visits to the emergency room, Scott’s doctor said his results were off the charts and he had to be admitted to the hospital, Elizabeth said. He hasn’t come home yet.

“His immune system is so shot that if (there is) any immunosuppressant in his body, if anything shuts down slightly, he will have the hardest time to get rid of it,” she said.

Neither Elizabeth nor Scott’s disease has a cure. Doctors continue to experiment

with treatments for Scott until they are comfortable letting him go home. Elizabeth will continue to take chemotherapy pills until her body corrects itself, which she said has never been done before.

Now, the bills are stacking up and Elizabeth’s daughter, Paige, is taking time off of school to help her family.

Charlotte Otero, a family friend, started a GoFundMe campaign to assist the Quinby’s with their daily medical expenses. The fund has collected more than $10,000.

“I’m speechless,” Elizabeth said. “I just want to cry. I’ve never had anyone do this for me.”

Girl has a heart for Riley

Megan, daughter of Carmel residents Kevin and Tracy Bunch, was born with transposition of the greater arteries, a congenital heart defect, where the aorta is connected to the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle, the opposite of a normal heart.

Kevin said two or three hours after Megan was born she was transported from IU Health North to Riley Hospital for Children.

Kevin said Megan stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for six days to get strong enough to handle the surgeries.

“Starting when she was 7 days old, she had five heart surgeries over the next seven days,” Kevin said.

Megan spent a total of 38 days at Riley, with 27 of those days in the Pediatric In-

tensive Care Unit and four days in the heart center.

Megan, 6, raised more than $500 for her sixth birthday to donate to Riley. She plans to do the same for her next birthday.

“I want to be a doctor,” said Megan, who enjoys playing with her 4-year-old twin brothers, Dalton and Carson.

Tracy is on a committee to raise funds for Riley to build a maternity and newborn health center.

“We’re always looking for opportunities to raise money,” Tracy said.

CHS grads sing winning tune

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For as long as Molly O’Connor can remember, singing has been a central part of her life. She sang her first song before she took her first steps. She sang throughout grade school and junior high. She sang in show choir at CarMUSIC mel High School.

Now, she sings in an a cappella group at Ball State University that has qualified for a national competition.

“I’ve been singing since I could speak,” said O’Connor, a 2016 CHS graduate. “I was in choir for eight years and eventually was in the CarO’Connor mel Ambassadors as a junior and senior.”

Now, she sings in BSU’s mixed a cappella group, Sedoctave, which includes fellow CHS graduates Michael Robb, Cameron Cole and Jake Letts. Robb and Cole are senior telecommunications majors who sing bass. Letts is a freshman musical theater arts major who sings tenor. And O’Connor is a sophomore marketing and public Robb relations major who sings alto.

Last month, Sedoctave — for the second straight year — earned first place at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella Midwest Quarterfinal with a 12-minute rendition of “It Don’t Mean a Thing.” The group will now compete in the March 10 ICCA Midwest Semifinal at Washington University in St. Louis.

The winner of that event advances to the April 21 ICCA Finals at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

“In the week leading up to the (quarterfinals) show we worked

so hard to bring our set together, so the first emotion I had was being so proud of what we had accomplished as a group,” O’Connor said. “It was so rewarding to see the hard work pay off, and I was happy to see everyone else so happy.”

O’Connor not only sings in the group, she is its assistant coordinator and is the public relations chair for BSU’s chapter of the Association of Collegiate A Cappella. Joining the organization was a priority when she arrived on campus.

“I’ve been a member of ACA since my first week at Ball State as a freshman,” O’Connor said. “I love the family I’ve found in Sedoctave, and I love the opportunity it’s given me to sing Cole outside of school work. I’m a double-major in marketing and public relations, so in college, for the first time in seven years, none of my classes had anything to do with music.

“It’s always been a hobby and an outlet for me, so Sedoctave has allowed me to keep that in my life in addition to my classes, and I am so grateful for that.”

Letts Cole, 22, is a four-year member of the group.

He also is its coordinator. In that role, he plans and schedules all performances and organizes all logistics.

“I have really enjoyed watching this group grow,” Cole said.

“When I started in Sedoctave my freshman year, the group was in pretty much its first year as well. Seeing the growth and all the friendships that I have made during my time has definitely been something I really enjoy.”

Film chronicles Kiritsis event

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For about 63 hours in 1977, two men in Indianapolis walked the tightrope between life and death.

DOCUMENTARY Tony Kiritsis, a man who fell behind on his real estate payments, took mortgage broker Richard Hall hostage with a shotgun to his head. It was rigged with a wire that would make the gun go off if anyone tried to shoot Kiritsis or grab Hall. The threeday ordeal was broadcast nonstop on live TV — one of the first long-form uses of the live format locally. The entire city and a national audience were kept in suspense the entire time.

Now, the captivating true story is a feature-length documentary called “Dead Man’s Line,” produced by Indianapolis residents Alan Berry and Mark Enochs. Berry works a day job in Carmel as a marketing director for a private financial firm. The movie was released Feb. 8 and is available for rent through iTunes and Amazon for 99 cents. No theatrical screenings are planned.

Berry previously teamed with Enochs on a documentary about a day in the life

of former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard.

Enochs suggested the Kiritsis case for their next movie.

Kiritsis himself became a sympathetic figure to some because he said he was mistreated by the mortgage company.

Others who had fallen behind in their payments began to cheer Kiritsis on, although many saw him as a crazed gunman who needed to be stopped.

“Some think he’s a hero, and some think he’s a crazed thug,” Berry said. “I don’t think either of us had a feeling one way or another, and we wanted to show both sides.”

HSE to perform ‘Little Mermaid’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School will perform “The Little Mermaid” for the first time, and the cast will add MUSICAL twists to some of the scenes.

The rendition of the 1989 Disney film follows the story of Ariel, a mermaid who wants to become human, and what she’s willing to do to make the wish come true. Ethan Mathias, an HSE teacher who serves as the director of staging and vocal direction, said there are a few differences in the performance compared to the movie.

Some scenes cannot work with the high school’s set, such as when the character Eric steers his ship into Ursula in the movie.

“It’s different in how it ends and in terms of the size of some of the parts, like Ariel’s sisters are featured some more and Eric is featured a little more,” Mathias said. “It’s all the same faces, it’s just been augmented a little bit.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. March 8 to 10, with a 2 p.m. matinee performance on March 10. Performances will take place in the Leonard Auditorium at the high school,

David Scotton always knew he was adopted. He grew up in Louisiana and was told about his FILM birth parents in Columbus, Ind., but never asked too many questions.

It wasn’t until his birth mother, Melissa Coles, decided to update her Scotton contact information with adoption law firm Kirsh & Kirsh, which is located on the Indianapolis/Carmel border on 96th Street, that Scotton decided he might want to meet his birth parents.

Benjamin Clapper, executive director of Louisiana Right to Life, asked Scotton if it was OK if a documentary film crew followed his journey to Indiana to meet his birth parents. What resulted is a short documentary film, “I Lived on Parker Avenue,” which will premiere free online March 8. An Indiana premiere will be held March 14 at The Studio Theater in Carmel. Steve Kirsh, Carmel resident and partner at Kirsh & Kirsh, will attend, along with Scotton

and several others involved with the film.

Admission is free but space is limited. To RSVP, visit ilivedonparkerave.com/indiana or by call the law firm at 317-575-5555.

In the movie, there’s a scene where Coles talks about entering an abortion clinic in Indianapolis and sitting on the table when she decides against having the procedure. She said she remembered a protesKirsch tor who said the baby had 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Clapper said he was moved by Scotton’s story but views the documentary as showing the positive aspects of adoption rather than demonizing anyone who chooses abortion.

“I really see this as a pro-adoption movie more than an anti-abortion movie,” he said.

In the movie, Coles told Scotton she was worried that he’d hate her for giving him up for adoption, but he responded that he wanted to thank her for what she did.

Wine for an Easter menu Commentary by Elizabeth Morse The promise of spring is peeking through now and then. It’s not nice weather, but you can celebrate this WINEderlust transition with some lighter wines as we ramp up to patio season. The bottles I’m going to suggest also are great choices with traditional Easter meals.

Serving salad that features asparagus is a great first course for a spring meal. I’m planning to make one that has fresh goat cheese and toasted walnuts. Domaine Moreux “Cuvée des Lys” Sancerre Rosé is my suggestion. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes and reminds me of fragrant strawberries, cherries and apricots. The acidity is bright and could be paired successfully with a strawberry and spinach salad, too ($23).

Next up: salty-sweet baked ham. I like to glaze ham, which would make pairing a big red wine, well, not good. Those flavors tend to clash. I’m opting for a light, yet flavorful and zesty Lambrusco. I’m not talking about the super-sweet cheap stuff. Try this tasty

sparkler: Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce ($18ish). Great for family gatherings since it’s low in alcohol. An excellent choice with a great piece of Parmesan cheese, too.

The finale of my Easter meal is a bakerystyle white cake with vanilla frosting. It’s often decorated with hundreds of jelly beans and maybe a Peep or two. You can go two directions here. If you really like bubbles, go with Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti. This is a terribly pretty and fragrant wine from Italy that is a bit sweet, $12 for a 375-millilitre bottle. If it’s a chilly day and you’re looking for something more serious, opt for Bodegas Dios Baco Elite Amontillado Sherry. This fortified wine is not Mama’s cooking Sherry. It tastes like butterscotch and hazelnuts with a dry finish ($20). Cheers!

Upon the election of the successful bidder with respect to the Bonds, any of the Bonds may be issued as term bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on January 15 and July 15 of the year set forth above at 100% of the face value in accordance with the schedule set forth above. If any of the Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, the Paying Agent shall credit against the mandatory sinking fund requirement for any term bonds and corresponding mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation, in the order determined by the School Corporation, any term bonds maturing on the same date which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than as a result of a previous mandatory redemption requirement) or delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation. Each term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by the Paying Agent at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory obligations and the principal amount of that term bond to be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly reduced; provided, however, the Paying Agent shall credit such term bonds only to the extent received on or before fortyfive days preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date.

Notice of any mandatory sinking fund redemption will be mailed by first class mail by the Paying Agent not less than 30 days prior to the date selected for redemption to the registered owners of all of the Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books of the Registrar; provided, however, that failure to give such

29

notice by mailing or a defect in the notice or the mailing as to such Bonds will not affect the validity of any proceedings for redemption as to any other Bonds for which notice is adequately given. Notice having been mailed, such Bonds designated for redemption will, on the date specified in such notice, become due and payable at the then applicable redemption price. On presentation and surrender of such Bonds in accordance with such notice at the place at which the same are expressed in such notice to be redeemable or as otherwise agreed to by the School Corporation and set forth in the Bonds, such Bonds will be redeemed by the Paying Agent for that purpose. From and after the date of redemption so designated, unless default is made in the redemption of such Bonds, interest on such Bonds designated for redemption will cease.

INTEREST RATES. Each bid submitted must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest therefor, not exceeding the maximum per annum interest rate hereinbefore specified. Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of one-eighth (1/8) or one-one hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1.00%). Bids specifying more than one interest rate must also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate. All Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate of interest. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the total dollar cost to final maturity and the true net interest cost on the entire issue to which such bid relates.

BIDDING DETAILS. Any person interested in submitting a bid for the Bonds must furnish written notice of such intent along with such person’s name, address and telephone number, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time), March 26, 2018, to the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth above. The person may also furnish a telex, facsimile number or e-mail address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person or entity registered in PARITY® will be automatically deemed to have complied with the foregoing requirements for so long as such person or entity is registered in PARITY®. In addition to sending the notice on PARITY®, the School Corporation will cause each person so registered to be notified of the date and time bids will be received for the Bonds not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the date and time of sale. The notification shall be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and also by telex or facsimile and electronically if a telex or facsimile number or e-mail address has been furnished. No conditional bid or bids for less than ninety-nine and onehalf percent (99.50%) of the par value of the Bonds will be considered.

The School Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality in any bid. If no acceptable bid is received on the date fixed for sale of the Bonds, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, but if so continued, no bid will be accepted which offers a net interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for the sale.

A bidder for the Bonds may purchase bond insurance to guarantee the repayment of the debt service of the Bonds from a bond insurance company; provided, however, the payment of any premium for any such bond insurance will be paid by the successful bidder from its discount bid, and will not be paid by the School Corporation.

Each of the bids for the Bonds not submitted via PARITY® shall (i) be sealed in an envelope if mailed, or with a cover page if sent electronically or via facsimile, marked “Carmel Clay Schools, Indiana, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2018”; (ii) be on the form approved by the School Corporation, without additions, alterations or erasures, which form may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth herein; and (iii) be delivered to the Municipal Advisor on behalf of the School Corporation at the applicable address or facsimile number set forth above.

While it is not a requirement for the successful bidder, the School Corporation encourages the successful bidder to make a good faith effort to offer the Bonds to be purchased by residents of the School Corporation.

INTERNET BIDS. If using PARITY®, bidders must first visit the PARITY® web site where, if they have never registered with PARITY®, they can register and then request admission to bid on the Bonds. Only NASD registered broker dealers and dealer banks with DTC clearing arrangements will be eligible to bid via PARITY®. Any questions pertaining to the PARITY® web site may be directed to PARITY® at (212) 849-5021.

many times as they wish during the sale period for the Bonds, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g. whether their bid is the leading bid).

AMENDMENTS. The School Corporation reserves the right to amend any information contained in this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds. The School Corporation also reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date established for the receipt of bids on the Bonds. Any such amendment or postponement will be announced in the same manner as the notice of the sale from the Municipal Advisor as described in “BIDDING DETAILS.” If any date fixed for the sale is postponed, any alternative sale date will be announced at least 24 hours prior to such alternative sale date.

BASIS FOR AWARD. The sale of the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder making a bid that conforms to the specifications herein and which produces the lowest Net Interest Cost to the School Corporation.

The Net Interest Cost is determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds from the date of delivery to the date of maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, if applicable, and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or adding thereto the amount of any discount. In the event of a bidder’s error in net interest cost rate calculations, the interest rates and premium, if any, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Official Bid Form will be considered as the intended bid.

In the event that the School Corporation fails to receive a bid on the Bonds from at least three Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the School Corporation shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the School Corporation, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the School Corporation treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-bymaturity basis. For purposes of this Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, (a) the term “Public” shall mean any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter, (b) the term “related party” means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly, (c) the term “Underwriter” means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the School Corporation (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public), (d) the term “Underwriters” means more than one Underwriter, and (e) the term “Holding Period” means the period starting on the date the School Corporation awards the Bonds to the Purchaser (the “Sale Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public at prices that are no higher than the initial offering price for such maturity of the Bonds.

Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the School Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt of each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the Public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue price of, and the yield on, the Bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the School Corporation’s bond counsel.

GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. The Purchaser will be required to provide to the School Corporation a good faith deposit (the “Deposit”) in the form of cash, a certified check or a cashier’s check or a wire transfer in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Bonds to be issued. The Deposit must be provided to the School Corporation no later than 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the business day immediately following the award of the Bonds. All checks shall be made payable to “Carmel Clay Schools”, against default by

the Purchaser in complying with the terms of this Notice and of its bid.

No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds awarded to the Purchaser.

In the event the Purchaser fails or refuses to comply with the provisions of the bid and this Notice, the Deposit shall become the property of the School Corporation and shall be taken and considered as liquidated damages of the School Corporation on account of such failure or refusal.

The Purchaser will be required to make payment for the Bonds in Federal Reserve or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at a bank designated by the School Corporation. Any premium bid must be paid in cash at the time of delivery as a part of the purchase price of the Bonds. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within sixty (60) days after the date on which the award is made, and if not deliverable within that period, the Purchaser will be entitled to rescind the sale and the Deposit will be returned. Any notice of rescission must be in writing. At the request of the School Corporation, the Purchaser shall furnish to the School Corporation, simultaneously with or before delivery of the Bonds, a certificate in form satisfactory to the School Corporation regarding the price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity was reoffered to the public.

It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bonds nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the School Corporation or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing or typing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the School Corporation. The Purchaser will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds.

AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE. The Bonds are issued under the provisions of the Indiana Code to provide the School Corporation with funds to pay for the costs of the 2018 General Obligation Bond Project as described and defined in the resolution adopted by the Board of School Trustees of the School Corporation on January 8, 2018, as more fully described in the Preliminary Official Statement, together with the expenses necessarily incurred in connection therewith, including the expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.

The principal of and interest on the Bonds are a general obligation of the School Corporation payable from ad valorem property taxes on all taxable property within the School Corporation as described in more detail in the Preliminary Official Statement.

BOND DELIVERY. At the time of delivery of the Bonds, the approving opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana, Bond Counsel, as to the validity of the Bonds, together with a transcript of the proceedings for the Bonds, the printed Bonds and closing certificates in the customary form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the Purchaser at the expense of the School Corporation. In addition, unless bond counsel is able, on the date of delivery, to render an opinion to the effect that (1) under existing laws, regulations, judicial decisions and rulings, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes, and (2) the interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation in the state of Indiana for all purposes except the state financial institutions tax, the Purchaser shall have the right to rescind the sale, and in such event the Deposit will be returned.

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared at the direction of the School Corporation may be obtained in limited quantities prior to submission of a bid by request from the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth above. Said Preliminary Official Statement will be in a form deemed final by the School Corporation, pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”), subject to completion as permitted by the Rule.

The Preliminary Official Statement when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the interest rates of the Bonds, and any other information referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of the Rule, shall constitute a “Final Official Statement” of the School Corporation with respect to the Bonds, as that term is defined in the Rule. By awarding the Bonds to the Purchaser, the School Corporation agrees that, no more than seven (7) business days after the date of such award, it shall provide to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, up to ten (10) copies of the Official Statement at the School Corporation’s

expense, any additional copies to be at the expense of the underwriting syndicate. The School Corporation designates the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each participating underwriter. Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the School Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue prices of, and the yields on, the Bonds under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the School Corporation’s bond counsel.

In order to assist bidders in complying with paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule, the School Corporation will undertake, pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Contract which shall be delivered to the Purchaser at the closing on the Bonds, to provide annual reports, certain financial information, and notices of certain events as required by Section (b) (5) of the Rule. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement and will also be set forth in the Final Official Statement.

If bids for the Bonds are submitted by mail, they should be addressed to School Corporation in care of the Municipal Advisor at the address listed above.

The School Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids for any reason and for no reason at all and to waive any and all informalities, defects or requirements set forth in this notice or any bid submitted in response to this notice.

Moving toward enlightenment Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Right now, we’re trying to teach our daughter to crawl.

She’s 8 months old, and I can only imagine how ridiculous I look down on the floor attempting GRAMMAR GUY to show her how to push her body up off the floor and start moving toward me. Or is it towards me? Is it toward or towards?

The more I look at toward and towards, the more I’m convinced neither of them are real words. I think pretty much any word will do that to you. And shouldn’t toward and coward rhyme? I’m too scared to look into it; I think that makes me a toward coward.

It all depends on where you live. In British and Australian English, you’ll find people give a polite nod to towards over toward. However, in the U.S. and Canada, we independently and unabashedly use toward more often than towards.

Technically, either are correct in any situation. However, my rule is use whichever word sounds right in each situation.

The AP stylebook states toward is always correct and towards is always a syntactical faux pas. While I appreciate the AP’s all-or-nothing approach, I don’t think it’s necessary to take a stand on every issue. Forgive me for my untowardness.

Is it weird that coward and towered rhyme? I think these words are messing with me. These two words could very well lead me to ward off either of these words from my writing for a year. In the same way American English prefers toward, the same rule works with other words related to direction, like forward, backward, downward, upward and afterward. To remember this rule, think about how Americans like our words like we like our drive-thrus: Shorter, faster, more convenient and more efficient.

Istanbul’s Tower of Flight Commentary by Don Knebel If your mental image of Istanbul does not include a 14th-century Romanesque hilltop tower overlooking a picturesque harbor, you probably need to revise your image. The cylindrical Galata Tower is also the TRAVEL site of a reported milestone in the history of human aviation.

In 1005 A.D., the once-poor Italian city-state of Genoa became the independent Republic of Genoa, with a fleet of ships sailing throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. The Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople, was one of Genoa’s major trading partners. To facilitate that relationship, in 1267 Genoese traders established a colony on a hillside area called Galata across the Golden Horn from Constantinople, overlooking the harbor where an estuary called the Golden Horn meets the Bosporus, the narrow strait forming the border between Europe and Asia. In 1348, as a part of a defensive wall surrounding their colony, the Genoese built a 207-foot tall tower they named Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) atop the hill from which they could detect hostile forces approaching the harbor.

According to a 17th century report, a Turk named Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi, who had studied aerodynamics, strapped on wings he had copied from birds and flew NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL, INDIANA ORDINANCE No. Z-630-18 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, meeting on the 19th day of March, 2018 at 6:00 o’clock p.m., at their regular meeting place in the Council Chambers, Second Floor, City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032, will hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for approval of the “Gramercy West Planned Unit Development Ordinance Number Z-63018” which seeks to rezone parcels of real estate that are a combined 27.76 acres in size; and, according to the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, consists of all of Tax Parcel Identification Number 16-10-31-0000-001.000; 16-10-31-01-03-004.000; and 6-10-31-01-04-018.000 and a portion of Tax Parcel Identification Number 16-10-31-00-00-002.000, which parcels of real estate are generally located south of and adjacent to 126th Street, east of Auman Drive East, west of Keystone Parkway and north of Carmel Drive (collectively, the “Real Estate”).

The Real Estate is currently zoned pursuant to the Gramercy PUD Ordinance No. Z-493-06, and any amendments thereto, and the Application, filed by Mohawk WB, LLC, requests approval to rezone the Real Estate to a separate PUD Ordinance to be known as the “Gramercy West Planned Unit Development District” to permit the development of approximately 270 residential dwellings on the Real Estate.

The file for this proposal is on file at the Department of Community Services, Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032, telephone 317/571-2417, under Docket No. 17080014Z and may be viewed Monday Through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Copies of the proposed request are also on file for examination at the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office, Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032, telephone 317/571-2414.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car.

It was a heart attack.”

– dave r.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
