about Home rule issues when a member of the public said it’s hypocritical to criticize the federal government for interference in the states but then take power away from local cities.

“I told him later, ‘Eric, when you get that Home rule question, here’s what you need to remind people: the states created the federal government. The states also created the local governments,’” he said. “Every local government entity in the state of Indiana derives its power from legislation passed by the General Assembly. Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in Home rule. I fought really hard on Home rule when it comes to the Airbnb issue.”

Torr said he doesn’t know as much about the small cell-tower legislation, but he said he’s gotten a lot of feedback about Airbnb and the need for municipal regulation.

“There are some places where it’s appropriate for the state government to step in,” he said. “One case is when we finally dealt with the patchwork of local laws when it came to people traveling with guns.”

City opposes Monon crosswalk signal

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County, not the City of Carmel, is responsible for much of the services in the 1,017-acre unincorhome place porated area known as Home Place. It’s surrounded on each side by Carmel, and the city has taken legal action to annex it.

In the meantime, Carmel is still affecting development in Home Place, such as putting a halt to a crosswalk.

Some Home Place residents have been pushing for a crosswalk signal at the Monon Greenway and 106th Street. Nearby resident Eric Morris, 39, advocated for the $45,000 crosswalk signal to allow pedestrians to push a button and temporarily stop traffic so they can cross. It would be the first of its kind along the Monon, where cars are not required to stop at trail intersections.

Carmel officials said the crosswalk does not fit into Carmel’s plans for trail traffic.

As a result, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’d remove the traffic signal when or if Home Place is annexed by Carmel.

“The long-term goal is to possibly build a bridge there,” said city councilor Bruce

Kimball, a cycling advocate. “I don’t think the mayor wants to set a precedent where we’re putting in stoplights where we don’t have to.”

Hamilton County leaders scrapped the idea when it was clear Carmel would remove it. County Commissioner Christine Altman said it doesn’t make sense to make improvements if they would be removed.

Fred Glynn Jr., president of the county council, said there needs to be discussion about Home Place, but it’s important to see how the Indiana Court of Appeals rules on

annexation.

Morris said he’s frustrated that Carmel is “poking its nose into such a small project.”

He said this could be a good test to see if traffic signals work and could be implemented along the Monon.

“Despite the mayor’s optimism this annexation will happen quickly, it won’t,” Morris said. “It still will go to the (Indiana) Supreme Court, if not back to trial court. If, is likely, this annexation lingers for much longer, what other improvements will the county shy away from in Home Place if it won’t install an already approved $45,000 one?”

Matt Milam, leader of the group Concerned Citizens for Home Place, expects the annexation will fail but agrees a decision won’t be immediate.

“The mayor is counting his chickens before they hatch,” he said. “It seems that the mayor is desperate to annex Home Place.”

At the same time, MIlam disagrees with the push for a crosswalk, noting not all Home Place residents want it.

“I believe the solution to vehicles and people using the Monon Crossings is paying attention at these crossings, whether you are a vehicle or a pedestrian,” he said.

City council talks parking Compiled by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel City Council met March 20 to discuss several items dealing with parking.

What happened: The Carmel City Council unanimously approved a $4.5 million installment-purchase agreement to help finance the parking garage that will be part of the mixed-use development across from Bub’s Burgers.

What it means: Plans call for Chuck Lazzara to construct the 200-space, $3.5 million to $4.5 million garage, which will be for the general public and owned by the city. The city would make payments, with interest, to purchase it.

What’s next: The deal is now approved and the project will proceed.

What happened: City councilor Tony Green introduced an ordinance dealing with parking restrictions for commercial vehicles, construction vehicles and trailers.

What it means: Green said it’s been an issue for a while in Southwest Clay, and the idea is that commercial or construction vehicles 20-feet in length or more would not be allowed to park for more than four hours unless it’s in the middle of a construction project or delivering goods.

What’s next: The bill was sent to committee.

What happened: City councilor Ron Carter introduced an ordinance regarding parking of motorized vehicles on city sidewalks, multi-use paths and bicycle lanes.

What it means: Carter said this addresses an ongoing issue of people parking their cars, motorcycles and motorized scooters on sidewalks and on bike lanes. Carter noted that the city already regulates use of motorized vehicles on bike paths and trails, and so it makes sense to regulate parking on them. Violaters would be subject to a fine of $10 for the first offense, $25 for the second $100, plus costs, for subsequent violations.

What’s next: The bill was sent to committee.

Making a pitch for the big leagues

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Entering his senior year of college, Kyle Lloyd was at peace with the fact that it would likely be his last opportunity baseball to be part of a competitive baseball team. But after a solid year pitching for the University of Evansville, the San Diego Padres drafted him in the 29th round of the 2013 draft, and his dream lived on.

Now, Lloyd feels he’s on the cusp of reaching a lifelong goal: pitching in the major leagues.

“I had never thought I would get drafted going into my senior year of college. I was ready to get a normal job and be at peace with baseball, but I got the opportunity,” he said.

“I’ve lasted long compared to a lot of guys who were drafted ahead of me.”

The 2009 Carmel High School graduate played for the Greyhounds baseball team, but he said he wasn’t a standout by any means.

After his college career, Lloyd worked his way through the minor league system, playing for teams in Oregon, California and Fort Wayne.

While the bus trips often dragged on, Lloyd said he enjoyed learning about areas of the nation he never would have seen otherwise.

Kyle Lloyd pitches for the San Antonio Missions.

(Submitted photo courtesy of the San Antonio Missions)

During the 2016 season, Lloyd, 26, worked his way up to the Padres’ Triple-A club in El Paso. During the offseason, he lives in Plano, Texas, where he works at an indoor baseball facility.

Lloyd knows that he’s defied the odds so far, and he has advice for other young athletes who fear their dream might be out of reach.

“You just can’t give up on it. When I was in high school in Carmel, I wasn’t that good. I didn’t even play that much going into my senior year,” he said. “If you have the drive and you can push yourself to do some things that other people aren’t doing, I think you’ll be successful in whatever you want to do.”

Drone Club takes flight

As far as toys go, drones are all the rage for kids these days. With that in mind, Josie McKay, a fourtheducation grade teacher at Carmel’s Towne Meadow Elementary School, is incorporating them into the classroom. Earlier this year, McKay won a drone in a contest on Twitter and wanted to use it with her students.

“Since there was only one and I have 26 kids, I thought the best way to utilize it and not take away from classroom time would be to make an extra-curricular activity,” she said.

In January, the Drone Club came to fruition, comprised of seven of McKay’s students, who meet every Tuesday for 30 minutes before school.

McKay doesn’t teach a lesson during each Drone Club meeting; rather, she lets students open the drone’s corresponding coding program and decide what they want the drone to do.

“Then they figure it out, they code it and test that out and see if it works. And if it doesn’t, they tweak it and fix it,” she said.

“It shows great initiative, great teamwork.

It’s showing leadership skills. They’re taking direction from the students, but they also lead the small group.”

In addition to these valuable skills, McKay has seen the students develop interests in computer science and computer programming. Watching their enthusiasm grow, it’s easy for McKay to see the benefits.

“I just think that it’s opened up that eye that coding is not just computer programming,” she said. “They can do other stuff with it, and they are just more excited to come to school. They not only want to code the drone in Drone Club, they want to (code it) when they’re finished with their work.”

Flexible seating boosts learning

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com The days of assigned seats and working alone are history, at least in one Carmel classroom. education Smoky Row Elementary first grade teacher Tammy Dillon encourages her students to choose seating that will help them learn best. With help from a $1,500 grant from the Carmel Education Foundation, Dillon has created a variety of options in her classroom.

“The main premise for flexible seating would be that it gives students a choice to decide what is best for them in their ability to learn,” she said. “So if they need to perhaps stand while they’re writing something or maybe sit on a ball or a wobble seat, that helps sensory or movement for some kids.”

Before, kids were expected to sit at their desk during the day, listen, work and go home. Now, Dillon said students are much more mobile. The school is working to promote a collaborative atmosphere in the classroom.

Dillon wants her students to feel like it

is “our” classroom, so when she introduced flexible seating, she gave students control to decide how they will learn.

“They just get up and go to a spot that will be best for them, or they may stay in their own seat,” Dillon said. “Some of them have at their own seat a different chair, or they might stand. They kind of work through that, and you’d be surprised at this young of an age how easily they adapt to that and how well they work with it.”

Parents have been supportive as well.

Dillon said most parents understand the move toward flexible seating because they experience the constant movement from their kids at home.

Business is good for Carmel’s Tanorria Askew after competing on MasterChef

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com During the 2016 season of MasterChef, Carmel’s Tanorria Askew competed with 19 other home cooks to cover story earn the approval of judges Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi. She placed fourth, and thanks to the publicity generated by the show has been able to quit her job of 15 years as a credit union coordinator and focus on her business project, Tanorria’s Table.

“I left and pursued Tanorria’s Table full-time,” Askew said. “It was already established for a year before I left, but participating in MasterChef and getting that validation that you are a good cook and you do belong on this earth to feed people led me to decide to pursue it full-time.”

Askew’s love of cooking started as a child watching her parents and grandparents host dinners in their home.

“I noticed it was always my house that people wanted to come to because we were always entertaining and cooking,” she said. “Once I got out on my own and started cooking for my friends, I realized this was such a good opportunity to have community around you.”

Her business as a personal chef has thrived since the show aired. She specializes in cooking in-home for small events. “(Clients) invite 10 to 12 people into their home, and I’m basically their personal chef for the night. We consult and plan a menu based on what they would like. Then I prepare anywhere from a three- to five-course meal,” Askew said. “It really is one of those experiences that can take anywhere from four to five hours, but you’re eating the entire time. You’re not having to do any of the other work except for eat and pour the wine. I always say that I get to come into your home and help you build memories.”

Not only has she been busy building her business and brand, she’s also found time to do charity work. She recently partnered with the Indianapolis Colts to raise $7,500 for Horizon House, which serves the homeless community in Indianapolis. She’s also raised more than $10,000 in the last six months for a number of other nonprofits.

“This celebrity has allowed me to help a lot of people,” Askew said. “I participated in a lot of things with my church, Mercy Road Church in Carmel. I’ve been able to help support them and to draw a crowd for dif-

ferent events we’ve had. I’m really just kind of riding the coattails of my celebrity so that I can continue to help people.”

Christina Huffines met Askew at Mercy Road, where they both attend and serve.

She said it was “unreal at times” to watch her good friend on TV. She was proud to see her follow her dreams on MasterChef and continue to build Tanorria’s Table.

“Tanorria has always loved food, but I think she appreciates food more (after competing),” Huffines said. “She buys fancier ingredients and isn’t afraid to try new things. I’m very proud of her for all she’s accomplished.”

Looking ahead, Askew, 35, wants to continue to build her business by creating more media marketing opportunities.

“We’ve started these every-other-week segments on WTHR where you’ll see me on there for three to five minutes on Saturday or Sunday mornings with Naomi Pescovitz.

I was doing those before MasterChef, but they have become a lot more consistent over the last few months,” Askew said. “I’m looking into possibly building a YouTube channel and writing a cookbook. That’s been a huge demand since MasterChef. I’m really just trying the best possible avenue to do that so that I’m reaching the right

Most exhausting time of the year

o b s e r v ation Dig in for comfort

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker What is it about macaroni and cheese?

While handy smartphone applications designed to track our intake of calories will warn that the creamy pasta dish can push to our daily limits in a single serving, it still makes our dietary “cheat” list. Whether it is this one or some other so-called comfort food, we all crave, well, comfort. Certainly, the simple sugars and fat content fill our bellies. But isn’t its appeal more than an intentional nap inducement? It is a reminder of simpler times and fond memories of meals long-passed.

Whatever the root of our fascination, we seek the consistent redundancy of the familiar reassurance to calm when our lives overwhelm. As such, books, films, vacation spots and even favorite pants can serve a similar function. We inveterate channel-surfers will pause for a re-run of a long-cancelled sitcom to be reminded of an episode that we’ve already enjoyed a dozen times before. We know the plot – twists, turns and all. Yet, we hang on each scene anxiously awaiting the delivery of the next line. In a confusing and complicated world, it brings a long-sought sense of order. Does a false sense of omnipotence give us a false sense of control? Or, are we justifiably eager to pursue a venue to satisfaction that we know will consummate? With so many promises unfulfilled, are we right to seek the proven and shun the unknown?

Long days and short nights can wear us down. We work to make our way in a world that seems increasingly unfamiliar and unsettled. Change is at our doorstep and cannot be kept at bay. Some, we embrace.

Too much can overwhelm. If a bit of comfort helps us cope, let’s dig in.

RE A DER ’ S V I EW Show that Indiana is welcoming, safe Editor, Proposed Indiana Senate Bill 423 brings to mind several recent activities involving central Indiana.

The Carmel Clay Public Library chose the book “Spare Parts” by Joshua Davis as the first Carmel Clay Reads title of 2017. It’s the true story of four Mexican high school boys in Arizona who, despite shaky immigration status, applied their intelligence and creativity and perseverance to win a national engineering competition. Just a few days ago, an Indianapolis newspaper reported that a team of African-American and Latino fourth-graders from Plainfield were taunted, “Go back to Mexico!” after they won a regional robotics competition.

Now there is a bill in the Indiana General Assembly (SB 423) that is trying to punish any state universities that might dare to offer refugees sanctuary. The college

or graduate students targeted by this bill are young adults who speak English, who aren’t trying to steal jobs from our beleaguered working class. In some cases, they are on our campuses because they were escaping human rights violations.

With the status of national immigration laws so tenuous right now, I think it’s premature to try to pass a law like this in Indiana. The concept of “sanctuary” has its roots in churches, offering refuge to those in need. People of faith should support any organization offering the same today, including our state universities.

I would ask our Rep. Jerry Torr and all the representatives in the Indiana House to stop SB 423. Show the world that Indiana is a welcoming, safe, inclusive state that we are proud to call home.

Ann Raymont, Carmel

This is the time of year, folks, that I am perpetually exhausted.

As a parent, I’m tired of the humor dance and color guard competitions that I feel compelled out of guilt to attend. As a teacher, I’m overwhelmed by the fact that we still have two months left in the school year when I’ve been over it since the godforsaken time change three weeks ago. And as a mom, if I have to clean up one more muddy paw or footprint, you will probably find me apoplectic and naked in the hard liquor aisle at Meijer.

Enough already. Let’s just get summer here!

Seriously. Spring is stupid. The weather can’t make up its mind, one day snowing and the next a balmy 75. I can’t store away the parkas and boots, but I also have to have shorts and flip-flops at the ready. On rainy afternoons, I feel happy because I have an excuse to sit on my couch and do nothing, but then the sun will come out and shine on those show-off daffodils, and I feel miserable for sitting on my couch and doing nothing. Perhaps most significantly, all the sports worth watching come to end by midApril, and I’ve nothing to fill the void except U18 rec soccer, which more often than not gets cancelled because of lightening or funnel clouds.

True, my beloved Kentucky Derby takes place the first Saturday in May, and, of course, there’s a car race around here that people seem to like, but apart from those, why bother? Why can’t we just skip to July, bring out the heat and cold beer and get down to enjoying the best few months of the year? No homework battles, no early morning alarms and no plastic Easter grass to cut out of the Bissell. Because frankly, I’m just exhausted!

Peace out.

RE A DERS ’ V I EWS Renewal referendum needs your support Editor, In the early 1990s, I was PTO president at Carmel High School. The discussion at that time was whether to expand to two high schools or add to the existing building.

This decision was not made easily. The opposing sides were vocal and very sure of what was best for our children and the community. The decision to expand proved to be a winner and has continually produced highly effective students.

The upcoming referendum has reminded me of this piece of history because I realized the high school was expanded physically, but the space was filled with people.

Keeping our community together was important. It wasn’t necessarily the size

of the building, but who inhabited all the rooms!

The renewal referendum will continue to keep our schools great. The monies will pay for teacher salaries, classroom support and support in cafeterias and on bus routes. It will not be a burden to any property owners. Everything will remain the same. Nor will it be used for any type of construction.

I urge you, as a CHS grad, to vote early, vote absentee or vote in person May 2. This referendum needs your support to continue to provide great education and sense of community that makes Carmel a great place to live!

Kim Smith, Carmel Read the full column at currentincarmel.com

CCS should become more efficient Editor, It is amazing to me that with businesses throughout the country revealing how much money they are going to save and how much more productive they will be with reduction in government regulation we have had no similar outpouring from the public sector.

I’ve often been told that much of the bloating of the administrative staffs of public school systems is due to government regulation and reporting requirements (I remember as a kid that the superintendent’s office of our 2,000-student district consisted of the superintendent and a secretary!).

Should we not be able to see a gross paring down of administrative budgets down the road in education, too?

The upcoming operating levy vote can sound like everything stays the same, but it doesn’t. With the extra levy amount funded by the extra voted tax, the board will have the ability to raise taxes on their own next time. If we don’t pass the levy, they will still have the money they need right now because of reductions in the base tax use, but they will have to come back for an increase later if they need it.

I would like to see a demonstration of administrative staff efficiencies and consolidations before I vote for more taxes. I am an ardent supporter of education and I know how fortunate we are to have a great school system in Carmel. I just hate to see inefficiency and waste.

Tom Fuller, Carmel

Turn signal ordinance not about safety Editor, Carmelites, are you going to stand by and let your council vote in ordinance D-2356-17, the turn signal use in roundabouts? This proposal is egregious greedy government overreach wishing to charge $100 for non-compliance. Are you not concerned about this preposterous plan making war on drivers who do not or cannot use their turn signals within roundabouts whose sizes and shapes are unequal?

Does Carmel need money that badly to inflict a regulation on residents and nonresidents who will be driving into, within and throughout Carmel’s roundabouts to capture more revenue for its coffers?

This ordinance was designed to: “promote public safety and prevent traffic accidents by regulating the use of turn signals in roundabouts.” I say it won’t work and safety is not the real issue here.

As you drive through the roundabouts, envision the use of turn signals at each turn and try doing it. If you are driving straight on, it won’t work. If you are in a small roundabout, you will be out of it before flicking on your turn signal.

If you believe this is a bad ordinance, contact your council representative and tell them to vote no on this mainly moneymaking venture.

Dangerous vacation reading Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Teacher OF THE MONTH

CONGRATULATIONS!

The winners for February’s Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Edge Guys, are: Teacher Mr. Eli Moffett • Student Jasmine Hsu Clay Middle School The winning teacher will receive a $50 visa gift card from Edge Guys and the winning essayist will win a pizza party for their class, courtesy of Papa John’s.

The next deadline for submitting essays is April 28. Send a 100-word essay describing your favorite teacher to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

Mary Ellen is planning our 2017 summer vacation to the Canadian Rockies. Back in 2007, we went to the Grand humor Canyon, the only place in America where you’re allowed to drag your kid to the precipice of one of the world’s deepest chasms, but they put you in the slammer if you feed a squirrel.

In the gift shop on the South Rim, the clerk recommended a book called — hold on to your hat (actually, hold on to anything you can) — “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.” What a charming choice for fans of light summer reading.

The authors do not restrict their colorful travelogue to unscheduled plunges to the bottom. They want you to know that with a little bit of poor planning, you can also die of dehydration or starvation.

Apparently, the canyon is safe if you are careful, but the book seems oddly misplaced in the gift shop so close to, well, the edge. There aren’t pamphlets relating the history of scaldings on the counter of McDonald’s or brochures about whimsical power-tool mishaps attached to your chainsaw purchases.

Other entertaining stories in the book include bear attacks, drownings and rock slides. Maybe I’m an optimist but I look at it this way: just a few hundred deaths in 6 million years. That’s not a bad record.

In one touching chapter, a man makes tea for his wife out of a deadly canyon flower, and they both die within minutes. In another, a woman tries to pet a mountain lion. An elderly couple got lost in their 1996 Taurus on a back road. They were found dehydrated, but still alive. They had no water but a week’s supply of Depends. I’d call that ironic.

Travelers from abroad love the Grand Canyon. Europeans winter in Arizona. Asians summer in the Canyon. Americans usually fall there. Approximately 600 feet. That’s just an average, though; your actual plummet may vary.

This summer, we probably can’t avoid dangerous cliffs, windy roads and harsh weather. But we will stay away from bookstores.

Flippin’ Exs shares expertise

Priced To Sell!

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

They’re no longer dating, but Nina Klemm and Michael A. LeSure have reunited to create their house-flipping Real estate business, Flippin’ Exs. The Carmel-based company works with investors to assist them through the house-flipping and investment process.

The pair broke up in 2014 and launched Flippin’ Exs in 2016. Recently, they launched a series of videos on YouTube to help explain the house-flipping business and showcase the dynamic of the ex-partners.

Klemm describes their style as loving, funny and toxic. On the Flippin’ Exs YouTube channel, the pair calls themselves the “Flipping Experts of Indianapolis” and encourages potential customers to get their “flippin’ questions answered” with Flippin’ Exs. “After we broke up, we started flipping houses,” Klemm said.

Although their relationship didn’t work out, the pair has built relationships with

wholesalers and works with investors to pair them with a house-flipping project that suits them.

The mission of Flippin’ Exs is to inspire, empower and teach people how to flip homes and buy rental properties while providing fun and practical knowledge in profitable real estate investment opportunities.

“We sit down with them one-on-one and explain the whole process,” Klemm said.

“Investors looking for a one-stop shop, we’re it.”

Why businesses fail Commentary by Jon Quick It is a fact that the majority of new businesses will fail within the first 18 months.

Let me reference a plain talk Forbes article from a couple of years back where business startup expert Eric T. Wagner lists five main reasons that businesses fail, and my thoughts on why he is right about all of these.

Not really in touch with customers Interpretation: They think they know it all.

Before you put it out there, find out if there’s a real need. Ask people. Then, once you start the business, continue the dialogue.

No real differentiation A $4 cup of coffee at Starbucks vs. 99 cents at a gas station. It’s the experience you are paying for. Give them an experience. It’s the ol’ unique selling proposition (USP) from Marketing 101. What is it about your business that is uniquely different?

Failure to produce compelling advertising Invest in some marketing to get your new business off the ground. It doesn’t have to cost a ton. I have a friend who has developed a worldwide following just by properly using social media.

Express your message creatively so your advertising stands out among all the rest.

Get down to the grass roots. Build your clientele one customer at a time.

Leadership breakdown at the top Never distance yourself from the staff or your customers. Harland Sanders visited every one of his KFC Restaurants regularly.

The Colonel was known to cut a manager down to size if the mashed potatoes weren’t exactly right. Set the example.

Lack of a profitable business model “Have people sample your ‘secret sauce’ before putting it on the market,” Wagner wrote. Sample your product or service on enough people. You’ll soon get a good feel for what they think.

Remember: All these mistakes can be easily avoided if you remember what your parents told you. Do your homework. Invest. Hire great people to help. That way you can have a successful business doing what you do best. And you’ll keep the Colonel pleased.

Entrepreneur provides tips for success

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As chief executive officer of Carmel-based Bitwise Solutions, Ron Brumbarger is always looking for fresh talent.

That led him, in part, to create Apprentice interviews University, where students learn how to approach opportunities with dedication and resourcefulness. Business members serve as mentors to students for on-the-job training.

With his experience, Brumbarger decided to write “You’re Always Being Interviewed: How To Be Intentionally Extraordinary” in 2016. He will have a book signing at 2:30 p.m. March 31 at Westside Church, 8610 W. 10th St., Indianapolis.

“The driver behind the book is many years of what I would affectionately refer to as forehead-slapping experiences during the interview process with people, things you can’t believe would really occur,” said Brumbarger, a Westfield resident.

For example, Brumbarger used a true story with a name change to protect a terrible decision.

“Elliott showed up in shorts, a T-shirt, tennis shoes, sweaty and his resume was rolled up,” Brumbarger said. “I thought he was the Jimmy John’s delivery guy. He’s really showing up for an interview. I asked if it was an impromptu scheduling of this interview and he said, ‘No, we’ve had it scheduled for weeks.’”

Needless to say, there was no interview.

“Young professionals from (age) 16 to 30 need to understand what those of us that are a few yards downfield from them career-wise understand to be normal,” Brumbarger said.

He said responsible use of social media is important as well.

“If you are hanging around the wrong friends on Facebook, whether you are passively engaging with them or people you communicate with routinely, if they are doing things talent spotters, people who create payroll, would find offensive and you’re friends with them in social media, it’s the same as you sitting next to them at a table,” Brumbarger said.

Brumbarger recalled a 17-year-old employee posting a social media picture of his girlfriend in her underwear with bottles of whiskey and a cigarette in the background.

Once alerted, the employee was fired immediately.

“It’s about being the type of person others want to associate with because of your character,” Brumbarger said.

The book includes a chapter on etiquette.

“It’s a bit preachy and I hated doing it, but someone has to do it,” he said. “So I talk about how table manners are important.”

The book is available on Amazon.com.

Therapist shares training tips

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com With the Carmel Marathon set for April 22 and the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon to follow May 6, Franciscan running St. Francis Health physical therapist Jerry Svendsen has some knowledge for runners to help prevent injuries.

Svendsen gave a presentation March 7 as part of the Carmel Clay Public Library’s Stethoscope Series.

“The cardinal rule of running, which I first heard from a physiotherapist from the University of Southern California, is you need to be fit to run. You don’t run to get fit,” Svendsen said. “Almost everyone breaks it that is running out there.”

Svendsen said shoes aren’t as important as many believe to prevent injuries, according to research. The most important thing is sensible and progressive training.

Other important facets are improving the core, cross-training, getting adequate rest, nutrition and hydration.

“Most people get injuries due to training errors. That’s one of the highest risk factors where people get in trouble,” Svendsen said.

Svendsen said there is no perfect running form, but there are three important characteristics that physical therapists want to examine in their patients. Svendsen said runners are taped while on a treadmill.

“We don’t want runners to over-stride and take too much of a step,” Svendsen said. “We don’t want to see excessive bouncing. We don’t want you coming up in the air. Then compliance, we don’t want you to over-pronate (weight transferred from heel to forefoot).

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce

Hire Us

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

I can see what you see. The proliferation of social media has allowed us to share events with friends and family across the globe. Through pictures, tweets, status updates and a host of sites, a virtual travelogue of someone’s life is available. . .to everyone. In the world of divorce litigation, however, this has given rise to an entirely new method of collecting information and, ultimately, evidence to put before a court charged with deciding divisions of assets and custody of children. With the popularity of social media, the internet is filled with information from online profiles. Users who are unaware of the broad availability of this information to a former spouse or opposing counsel are posting at their own risk. With so much of what is posted being available to “share,” it is nearly impossible to control access to this information. Further, as part of information exchanges common to divorce proceedings, it is now common to request the entire history of a Twitter account or Facebook page, so even if your privacy settings would not allow the former spouse or counsel to see your account in real time, they will get to comb over all your pictures and posts to pick out those which can cast you in a negative light.

Tweeting evidence. That great picture of you and a bunch of friends doing shots before the concert received 62 “likes,” 22 “comments,” and 5 “shares.” Now it’s being presented to a Court to show that you left the children with a sitter while

you went out and got drunk. Fair or unfair, in the hands of an experienced litigator that post can speak volumes about your priorities, bad habits and even the quality of your parenting.

That “vent” about how the children would be so much better off if your ex joined the Peace Corps and vanished from their lives? It’s being presented to argue that you’ve done all you can to alienate the children. These are just examples of “normal” interactions through social media that, in the context of a contested divorce, can be damaging to your position and compromise your arguments to a court.

How is it used? The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled that witness testimony identifying a Twitter account taken together with the posted content was enough to authenticate that the account belonged to a criminal defendant without the identification of the account by the defendant himself. Of course, the most common way for that evidence to make it before the Court will be to have the actual person identify the account and the questionable position during cross-examination. Don’t let this be you!

The Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel resident Catherine Ray received the Caregiver of the Year honor at the fourth anachievement nual Hospice Awards Banquet March 8. It was presented by Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Centers. Ray is a social service coordinator with Kindred Hospice and had been awarded Caregiver of the Month in February 2016.

tween families utilizing hospice care and the resources they might need throughout the process.

“I work with providing emotional support to families,” she said. “I broker resources they need within their community. If someone is having a difficult time dealing with grief or the loss of a loved one, if they need financial assistance, I’ll find those resources for them. I provide a lot of education on the grief process.”

Ray was humbled by the award.

“I was very honored by peers to be awarded the award. To be nominated was an honor, but to be awarded for the year, it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Ray said. “I just feel like, wow.”

Hospice can be an emotionally draining process for the care workers in addition to the families.

“I love helping families during the transition,” Ray said. “Not many people can walk this journey, and I’m privileged to have that opportunity.”

Main Street Poke to bring healthy options

By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com Brinna Voege is only 25 years old, but the Carmel High School graduate has a decade of experience in new biz the food service industry. More importantly, she knows she’s got a great concept: a quick-service, healthy food option where customers can customize bowls of rice, fish, vegetables and sauce.

Voege met her future business partner David Tang at Vitality Bowls, where Voege worked. While attending a training session in California, she tried a dish of Hawaiian raw tuna salad called poke, pronounced "poh-kay.”

“Basically, I ate poke the whole time,” she said. “It made perfect sense to bring this idea back to Indiana."

Voege is shooting for a May opening for Main Street Poke at 110 W. Main St., Suite 106, next to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang hair salon in Carmel.

A poke bowl with fish, vegetables and various sauces. (Submitted photo)

She describes Main Street Poke as a similar set up to Chipotle. Customers start by choosing a bowl of sushi rice, brown rice or spring mix salad and then add fish, which can include shrimp, eel, salmon, ahi tuna and others. They can add vegetables such as tofu, avocado,

carrots, cucumber, green onions, corn, peppers or others and dress it with a sauce such as a soy sauce, a spicy mayonnaise, a hot sauce or a sweet sauce.

Other toppings can be added, such as fried onions or Asian noodles.

Voege said it’s the perfect way to eat healthy but also have something that tastes great.

“I think the new trend will be people eating healthier,” she said.

Voege said many people say they want to eat healthy but wind up going through a drive-thru because it’s quick and convenient. She said Main Street Poke will be an efficient way to get lunch quickly and eat healthy.

“It really only takes as long to make it as it takes for you to decide what you want,” she said.

If it’s successful, Voege said a location could open in Fishers.

Main Street Poke is hiring. Applicants can apply in person at the location on Main Street.

Feinstein, Jackson to team up

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Feinstein has been eager to musically reconnect with his friend Cheyenne Jackson.

Jackson, however, concerts has been busy with acting, including regular stints on “American Horror Story” and several other TV shows and movies.

“So it’s been hard to snag him,” Feinstein said.

Feinstein and Jackson finally found a date and will appear together at 8 p.m. April 29 at the Palladium, part of the Center for the Performing Arts, in Carmel.

Feinstein, artistic director for the center, usually appears on the Palladium’s schedule at least once per year. He also hosts the annual Songbook Academy event and the annual galas.

time on his schedule to come to Carmel because he was at the opening of the center and loves the city and loves the venue,” Feinstein said. “He wanted to do the gig. It will be with the finest musicians in the area with a lot of duets.

Cheyenne will do some of his signature solo numbers. Since I started working

with Cheyenne, he’s done a couple of solo pop albums.”

Feinstein said the concert will be a mixture of standards, some classic Frank Sinatra duets and some of the contemporary songs that Jackson performs. Feinstein will perform some solo numbers as well.

“So it will be a very eclectic evening,” he said. “We have a great chemistry together on stage. We’re so comfortable.”

Feinstein said the concert will be similar to a show he did with Jackson called “The Power of Two.” The two had an album of the same name.

“We originally did it in New York at my nightclub, Feinstein’s,” Feinstein said.

“In this incarnation we have a 17-piece big band with us. Cheyenne and I performed at Carnegie Hall (in 2010) with a big band. It was so much fun to do that show that we’ve been wanting to do it again.”

Lockhart and the Pops Esplanade Orchestra will present “By George! The Pops Play Gershwin” at 7 p.m. April 2 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“I used to work with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, so I kind of feel like I’m going home,” said Hymes, who served as associate conductor of the ISO several years ago. “It’s an area where I had an incredible experience in the early part of my career.”

Hymes is serving as the guest conductor for the Carmel Symphony Orchestra concert at 7:30 p.m. April 8 at the Palladium.

Hymes is the final of three finalists for the CSO to guest conduct. The other two finalists seeking to replace artistic director and conductor David Bowden, whose contract wasn’t renewed, are Ron Spigelman and Kelly Corcoran.

the thing about that piece is every time you hear it, it’s fresh and it’s never too many.

It’s so beautiful and nostalgic and I’m really looking forward to it. It has all these folk elements. Then we’re doing the incredible Mendelssohn violin concerto.”

Ariel Horowitz, an Indiana native who made her CSO debut in 2014, will return to play that violin concerto.

Hymes has been the musical director of the Williamsburg (Va.) Symphony Orchestra for 13 years and director of Maine Pro Musica Orchestra for nine years.

Where’s Amy? Seeing ‘Shaolin Warriors’ at the Palladium Where’s Amy was sitting on the edge of her seat during the fully choreographed stage production of the “Shaolin Warriors: The Legend Continues” tour that swooped into the Palladium. The production featured many forms of Shaolin Kung Fu as well as a look at the daily life of the warriors and their Zen philosophy. The Warriors encouraged audience participation and displayed stunning skill, accompanied by atmospheric music and scenery and spectacular lighting and costumes. Where’s Amy was front and center to witness a Shaolin Warrior who was held up in the air on the tips of sharpened spears. Guests also were treated to the Indianapolis Chinese Orchestra prior to the event with special guests Ling Bai and Kwan Hui. It was truly a fun family night for all ages.

Outdoor living spaces and landscapes tend to look a little tired after winter. Lack of sun, ice melt, snow, rejuvenate dust and general environmental conditions take a toll. Most of us can relate to that personally as well. Compound that with the lack of care we generally offer our patios and plants from December through February and attention is needed.

Here are several sweaty strategies that will quickly elevate your heart rate/space dramatically and improve the aesthetics of your home.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE Not covering up your furniture? Need to change that habit soon. Whether using a simple tarp or fitted covers, it makes a huge difference. Sure, it’s a pain but that habit will prolong your investment for many years. Despite winter covering, critters, leaves, dust and other gizmos invade and encourage a vigorous scrubbing in the spring. We’ve used Scotch Gard Fabric Cleaner and a heavy scrub brush for the frames with great success. It’s not the most enjoyable 30 minutes of your life, but wow…what a difference it makes!

MANICURE OK, don’t get too excited about the manicure. I am actually referring to your front door and entry. It would likely appreciate an update, cleaning and overall manicure.

Door handles often patina pretty quickly and a generous cleaning will help. Faded brass becomes vibrant with a light sanding. Try a simple polish on chrome, brass and other finishes after scrubbing. A quick coat of paint goes a long way on faded surfaces. Finally, clean the windows for a sparkling entry.

Mailboxes need a boost to their ego!

Think about it. It’s one of the first things

Your front door and entry will likely appreciate an update, cleaning and overall manicure this spring. (File photo)

guests identify with your home. Make it shine with new paint, updated address numbers, shine the box itself. From personal experience, expect a few interesting looks as you detail away, then a few compliments.

BEDS AND LANDSCAPE Pretty basic stuff here, and it works. Get comfortable with your Stihl blower, fire it up and go. Blow everything, sidewalks, patio, deck, window sills, neighbors, kids, grill, etc., and watch the dust and cobwebs disappear. Let’s presume you are familiar with the general landscape clean-up process: Clean the gutters, blow debris from all the beds, cut back the perennials and grasses, fresh edge on the beds, apply preemergent weed control and fertilizer, add a few inches of black dyed mulch for bright contrast. Complete in that order.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updated kitchen and living areas Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for these areas was to improve functionality and openness, maximize storage space and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout.

1. The kitchen cabinets were replaced and now wrap around the kitchen, creating additional storage.

Also, a separate buffet area was added to include a beverage fridge and additional countertop space.

2. The countertops were updated to granite and an intricate backsplash was added. The new undermount sink, faucet and undercabinet lighting are perfect touches to add functionality and task lighting.

3. New durable tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, back hall and laundry room.

4. The wall between the sunroom and living room was removed to create one larger space. The half-wall between the dining and living areas was also removed.

5. To complete the continuous aesthetic flow of the entire open space, the fireplace was updated with the same tile used as the kitchen accent backsplash tile.

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Parks at White River neighborhood in Fishers. They knew they wanted to update their kitchen and adjacent living spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous kitchen was outdated with tile countertops, dysfunctional storage space and insufficient lighting. Part of the bamboo flooring was missing due to a leak. They also wanted to make the adjacent living spaces feel like one connected area with the kitchen. A half-wall between the dining and living areas, as well as a full-height wall between the living and sunroom areas, were prohibiting this open concept. The fireplace also needed cosmetic updates.

Smithsonian Institution’s “Castle” in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Don Knebel)

James Smithson’s Smithsonian legacy Commentary by Don Knebel The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., is often called the “nation’s attic” because of its extraordinary collection of more than 150 million items. It travel is named for James Smithson, who made his only trip to the United States after his death.

Smithson was born in Paris sometime in 1765, the illegitimate son of an English nobleman and a wealthy widow.

Smithson spent his adult life traveling throughout Europe, often in the company of Europe’s scientific elite, studying a wide variety of natural phenomena. He published 27 papers about his conclusions, including one about how to brew a better cup of coffee. One of Smithson’s papers resulted in a mineral being named “smithsonite” in his honor.

When Smithson, who never married, died in Italy in 1829, his will specified that his assets were to go to the United States, which he had never visited, to found “the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” After considerable debate, the government accepted 105 bags of gold coins worth more than

$11 million today, at the time almost 2 percent of the entire federal budget. In 1846, Congress created the Smithsonian Institution as a center for research and as a repository for the government’s growing scientific collections.

In 1855, a red sandstone building, combining Romanesque and Gothic details, was completed just east of the Washington Monument, then under construction, as the home of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1904, Alexander Graham Bell traveled to Italy and returned with the disinterred body of James Smithson, which was reinterred in the building now known as “the Castle” because of its towers. Today, the Smithsonian Institution’s collection is distributed among 19 different museums. Smithson’s crypt is still displayed on the first floor of the Castle, which houses the Institution’s administrative offices and a visitors’ center.
