League of Women Voters holds candidate forum debate

1h 0SP\ 0PbT] “ adam@youarecurrent.com

The League of Women Voters held a forum for all opposed candidates in the upcoming Carmel election.

Nearly every seat was full in the audiELECTION ence at Carmel City Hall.

Laura Campbell, city council candidate for the Northwest district, did not attend because she’s unopposed. Candidates in Carmel’s southwest city council district – incumbent Carol Schleif and challenger Keith Griffin – did not participate in the event.

Questions were submitted on notecards by audience members.

Mayor Five-time incumbent Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and his challenger city council president Rick Sharp exchnaged some direct comments made about the records of each other. Topics included transparency, transportation, debt and economic development.

Sharp said he hopes to have a thoughtful discussion during the campaign focused on the issues and based on facts. “For me, I want to talk about the debt of the city and how we can best look at making sure we pay it down in an efficient manner and do not leave this burden to the next generation of Carmel residents,� he said.

Brainard focused on what he sees as Carmel’s success during his two decades in office, taking particular note of property tax rates and home values. “What I’m proud of is the city’s fiscal management,� he said. “I’m proud of the mix of debt that we have. Only 3 percent of debt is paid for by residential taxpayers.�

Clerk-Treasurer Much of the debate between longtime incumbent Diana Cordray and challenger Christine Pauley centered around whether Carmel should become a second-class city, which replaces the elected clerktreasurer with an appointed position. Both agreed that the decision would be left up to the city council to decide, but Pauley brought up the issue in her responses and said the next clerk-treasurer needs to amenable to whatever decision is made. “The strength of our community is built on each one of us working together,� Pauley said. “It’s not an issue that differences of opinions exist. It’s an issue when it’s not handled in a professional manner.�

Cordray said she’s the best person for the job because of her emphasis on government transparency.

She emphasized her credentials and awards that she’s won since she took office in 1996. “I have to attempted to be a trailblazer for women in my field,� she said.

Northeast District Incumbent Sue Finkam is running against John Accetturo, who used to represent that district on the council. His campaign focuses on getting more money for the Eastside of Carmel, which he said has been neglected. “Carmel is a world-class community so Carmel should provide world-class services to our residents,� he said. “Carmel can do better.�

Finkam said she is more proactive than reactive

compared to her opponent. “A watchdog sits back on his haunches and waits for something to happen and barks really loud,� she said. “What this community really needs is a guide dog.�

Southeast District Incumbent Luci Snyder disagreed with challenger Jeff Worrell about Carmel’s financial picture. Snyder said she believes her role on the council is to provide checks and balances and be mindful of how tax dollars are spent. “We are not the vision. Our job is to pay for the vision – responsibly,� she said. “Not to take risks with other people’s money.�

Worrell said he believes Carmel’s financial outlook is strong and he believes there no need for negativity or pessimism about the city. “It’s really about positive leadership,� he said. “Staying positive and using collaboration and compromise when necessary.�

Central District Incumbent Eric Seidensticker is taking on Bruce Kimball. The challenger focused much of his talk on “progress� and “change� and how the city creates new jobs. “We have to move forward,� he said. “We have to see what’s changing around us.�

Seidensticker said his emphasis is on protecting property values, which will keep the tax rates low.

That’s why he wants to focus on infrastructure improvements. He said that’s what his constituents tell him is important to them. “The people get a voice,� he said. “It’s not me. It’s the voice of the people�

At-Large Everyone in the city will get a chance to vote for two out of three at-large candidates, two of which are incumbents: Ron Carter and Kevin “Woody� Rider.

Challenger Ron Houck said he would provide important balance against reckless spending. “In my day job I work in informational technology,â€? he said. “If you know anyone who works in IT, you know they are left-branded and analytical. We need someone who can analyze finances ‌ It’s really about using your money wisely.â€?

Carter said he would work to support Brainard’s vision instead of fighting against him. “Today, we need those with leadership and vision skills and those with a positive outlook,� he said.

Back in the Day: Looking back at Carmel’s Kinzer cabin

The old Kinzer cabin. ?W^c^b R^dacTbh ^U 2Pa\T[ 2[Ph 7Xbc^aXRP[ B^RXTch

William Kinzer and his wife.

The howl of wolves could still be heard in the countryside when John and Ruth Kinzer built their cabin in 1828. The closest settlement would be known as Bethlehem in 1837, with the name changed to Carmel in 1846 when the town residents decided they needed a post office. The name of Bethlehem had already been claimed by another Indiana town. As two of the earliest white settlers to the area, the Kinzers had several acres of trees to clear before they could plant any crops. By 1832, the couple added to the cabin’s occupants with the birth of their first child named William. As the years passed, the family continued to grow and prosper as farmers. Today the Kinzer name lives on in another significant manner—the cabin itself. The structure was moved and renovated and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it sits on private property along Main Street, east of Keystone Avenue. (Compiled by Terri Horvath)

Beauty Lounge pitches in for Riley hospital prom

1h 0SP\ 0PbT] “ adam@youarecurrent.com

Stylists at The Beauty Lounge, a salon located in the Carmel Arts & Design District, will be using their skills to help PHILANTHROPY provide a memorable evening for patients at Riley Hospital for Children.

Last year, the salon donated its time to provide free hair styling and makeup touch-ups to kids attending the Riley Cancer Center Prom, an annual event held in May, “where cancer takes a back seat to fun.�

According to Riley’s Web site, more than 400 patients and family members gather for the event to enjoy food, fun and friendship.

Eva Harris, owner at The Beauty Lounge, said it’s inspiring to see children in the hospital have the opportunity to dance and enjoy themselves like any other kid. She helped out last year and 2015 will be the second time to participate. “They all felt so great and it was so awesome to see their faces,� she said. “They all looked so wonderful and my team was just so happy to offer the services to them. It was pretty amazing.

According to a release from Riley, “prom-goers receive pampering, hairstyling and makeup at the ‘Riley Day Spa,’ and are able to choose their own complimentary gowns, tuxedoes, shoes and ac-

Several relocations and expansions of company headquarters are in the works for Carmel.

One of the newest announceGROWTH ments is that Delta Faucet Company wants to expand its headquarters at 111th and Meridian streets to the tune of around $15 million.

Carmel Plan Commission as they seek to build a 63,101 square-foot headquarters office building on 8.5 acres at 11301 N. Meridian St. within the U.S. Highway 31 Corridor Overlay Zone. It will be a two-story building with a partial basement. The developer aims to preserve the nearby wooded area and create a walking path for employees, according to city planning reports.

The Liberty Fund helps, “encourage the study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals� through organizing educational activities, publishing books and hosting conferences.

Baltimore-based developer Atapco Properties is also planning a $7-million-plus remodel of its corporate center at the southeast corner of Carmel Drive and Guilford Avenue.

Candidates ‘meet and greet’

Actual Spectrum Residents

1h 0SP\ 0PbT] “ adam@youarecurrent.com Earlier this month the Constitutional Patriots, a local conservative group aligned with the Tea Party, held a candidate meet and POLITICS greet so interested voters could ask questions of those running in Carmel’s May election. “We want the people to really know who they are electing for service on a personal level,� said Dwight Lile, co-founder of the group.

Candidates attended from all throughout Hamilton County. Those candidates from Carmel included city councilors Rick Sharp, Luci Snyder, Carol Schleif, and Eric Seidensticker, clerktreasurer Diana Cordray and council hopeful Ron Houck. John Accetturo, an active member of the Constitutional Patriots and candidate for the council’s northeast district, was unable to attend because he had his appendix removed.

Sharp, who is running for mayor, said most voters asked him about his qualifications and what he would do differently. “I’ll take any opportunity to get out and talk to voters,� he said. “If the Democrats held a meet and greet and wanted to meet with Republicans, I’d be there too. If the Libertarians held a meet and greet, I’d be there as well. I’m going to be wherever I can to get in front of voters.�

Larry Carter, of Carmel, said he thought the candidates in attendance were, “really strong and pro-Republican.�

“We want to assure our taxes have a watchdog over them,� he said.

Ed Shaughnessy, resident of Carmel, said he came out to ask candidates about issues such as drainage, the city’s debt and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. “I learned a lot of things,� he said.

Bob Wallace, member of the Constitutional Patriots, said he thinks voters should be asking candidates about the city’s overall level of debt. “A certain group of candidates are using a sleight of hand with the numbers and so we just are looking for direct answers,� he said.

Public forum explains U.S. 31 construction updates

1h 0SP\ 0PbT] “ adam@youarecurrent.com

As the weather warms up, construction season kicks into a higher gear and crews expect to finish a large amount of the ROADS work on U.S. 31 by the fall. Officials from the Indiana Department of Transportation held a public forum at Carmel High School last week to allow Hamilton County residents the opportunity to ask any questions they have about the project.

In Carmel, this year should see road closures for construction from 116th Street to Interstate 465. INDOT spokesman Nathan Riggs said there will be a number of traffic shifts and reroutes to minimize impact.

In some cases, roads and intersections might be closed for approximately 60 days, such as 116th and Pennsylvania streets, which will be closed in August and September, 111th and Pennsylvania, which will be closed in April and May, and 106th Street, which will be closed in portions in May and June. “We don’t have any major impact long term closures, these are all short term,� said Chad Nierman of INDOT. Currently, the city of Carmel has closed 131st Street and Main Street to make improvements along Main Street that will be necessarily given the higher volume of traffic expected from the new U.S. 31. Jeremy Kashman, city engineer for Carmel, said the improvement to the road will be very beneficial to the area and its economic corridor. “In the middle of July, when we open this up, it’ll look like a completely different area,� he said.

In Westfield, the longest closure will occur at 191st Street under U.S. 31 which is currently closed through August and September. Also, 191st and Tomlinson Road is closed until July. There will be approximately 14 day road closures at 181st under U.S. 31 in July/August and 169th street under U.S. 31 in August/September.

Ed Rowland, of Westfield, said he attended because he was interested in finding out about the various closures and because he lives near U.S. 31. He thinks when it’s complete it will make his commute so much easier.

Rowland said he appreciated the public forum, as opposed to a website, because of human interaction. “It’s far easier to understand things when I can ask questions and interact with people,� he said.

Riggs said it’s important to include a public forum in addition to using newspaper articles, websites, Facebook and Twitter to alleviate any confusion motorists might have. “It’s just another tool that we use because some people feel much more comfortable asking us questions,� he said.

Neighbors question Johnson Addition height restrictions

4th Ave.

Woodacre Dr.

Neighborhood organizers have stated the benefits of preserving the Johnson Addition area by adding a zoning classification PLANNING called an overlay. They claim these new city guidelines will help protect the classic 1950s feel of the neighborhood without creating draconian rules.

But opponents who live in that neighborhood recently W. Main St. voiced their disagreement at a public hearing of the Carmel Plan Commission.

City Planning Administrator Adrienne Keeling explained that the new rules are a blend of current historic overlay guidelines and the recent attempt by neighbors to turn the area into a conservation district. BasiWilson Dr. cally, the overlay would require that any new houses built – and some major remodels – conform to the look and feel of the neighborhood, which means rectangular ranch floor plans with open front porches, attached garages and minimum front yard space.

The new guideline that most opponents brought up is that building heights cannot exceed the tallest dimension of the two nearest principal buildings on the same side of the street by seven feet. They said that essentially eliminates the option of adding a second story to a house because seven feet wouldn’t be enough space to do that. “Two story houses aren’t evil,� Patrick Meharry said at the meeting. “I’m not advocating for some of the monsters we’ve seen, but there are plenty of 50’s-style houses with two stories.�

Jana Souers said she moved into the neighborhood with plans on starting a family, but she thinks more space might be needed to do so.

She said she would like the option to add-on to her home and she feels this overlay could force some people to move due to lack of options.

Souers noted that in a recent Current in Car-

mel article, those who advocated for the overlay zone compared the Johnson Addition to something out of the show “Leave it to Beaver.� “Wouldn’t you know it, the Cleavers lived in a two-story home,� she said.

Keeling reiterated that this is still an early stage in the process and that the city is willing to listen to public input to help them adjust the zoning guidelines.

This map shows where the overlay designation would sit in the Johnson Addition neighborhood.

“We do not intend to restrict two story homes,� she said. “We will try to make that more clear.�

This zoning action has been taken by the city with input from neighbors and if approved by the plan commission would go through another public hearing with the Carmel City Council.

City councilor Kevin “Woody� Rider, a member of the plan commission, said he heard from most opponents that they were at least open to the idea of the overlay zone if some changes are made, so he thinks it’s great that everyone is willing to work within this process.

Larry Goens told the plan commission he hopes the changes go through because he’s worried about large-scale development casting a shadow over his quaint neighborhood. “I’m fearful of the change,� he said. “I would not like to see the changes come to our neighborhood. I usually don’t like this much government control but in this case I’ll make an exception.�

Scarpino preps for 500 Festival

Jo! Us

1h <PaZ 0\Qa^VX Â&#x201C; mark@youarecurrent.com

Sommer Scarpino doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take this crown lightly.

The Carmel resident was named one of the 33 Indy 500 Festival princesses last PROFILE month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved Indiana sports and Indiana traditions,â&#x20AC;? Scarpino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From what I had heard about 500 Festival princess program it was just a combination of things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of community service and getting involved in Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big events around the (Indianapolis) 500.â&#x20AC;?

The 500 Festival princesses volunteer at the Mini-Marathon and help out at Kids Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway along with taking part in 500 Festival Parade and Indianapolis 500 race day activities.

Scarpino, a 2011 Heritage Christian High School graduate, is a Purdue senior majoring in communication and Spanish. Scarpino, who served as an intern for the Indianapolis Colts last summer in the marketing and events department, hopes to pursue a career in the sports industry. Scarpino visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway when she was in elementary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family has a tradition of listening to the race on radio so I have really good memories of not actually going to the race but listening to it with my whole family,â&#x20AC;? Scarpino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited not only to be going to the race but to actually have a role in it. The princesses are also in the parade that is something I went to when I was younger. We are there for the driver introductions and in Victory Lane after the race.â&#x20AC;?

The princess requirements are to be an Indiana resident and attend an Indiana college.

Scarpino, 22, is one of more than 200 collegeaged women (ages 18 to 23) who applied for the princesses. The original group was cut down to 66. After a final interview, it is cut to 33 princesses, the traditional number of cars in the Indianapolis 500 starting lineup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough interview process and a little bit intimidating, but obviously things worked out,â&#x20AC;? Scarpino said.

Scarpino BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

Scarpino will take part in the Princess Reception on April 18, which marks the start of the princessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; events. Scarpino has already began to make friends with the other princesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been another wonderful benefit to this, meeting so many amazing girls,â&#x20AC;? Scarpino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all like-minded. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all involved in our colleges and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driven. We love the tradition of the 500 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all clicked very well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purdue is the most represented college this year, which is cool.â&#x20AC;?

MAYOR JIM BRAINARD

Personal: Has a brother Nick, 24. Parents are Anne and Will Scarpino. Sommer played tennis her freshman and sophomore year in high school before a knee injury ended her career.

Young runners to support Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way at Carmel Marathon 1h <PaZ 0\Qa^VX Â&#x201C; mark@youarecurrent.com Shelly Fisher decided the Carmel Marathon and Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way were a perfect match.

Lisa Oberndorfer, a Carmel resident, started the nonprofit organiPHILANTHROPY zation with her son Will, who has juvenile diabetes. Oberndorfer wanted to help those who are having trouble affording insulin pumps and continous glucose monitors.

Fisher said 30 children are raising funds to help Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way. Those 30 children will get a free entry for a one-mile run in the 5th Annual Carmel Marathon on April 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their reward is to get to run a bit of the marathon,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping the community. Yet they get to run too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a winwin situation.â&#x20AC;?

Fisher, a runner herself, will be skipping the Carmel Marathon to take part in the Boston Marathon on April 20. But her daughter Julia, a Cherry Tree Elementary fifth grader, is participating in the one-mile run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think teaching other kids (about Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way) can help other people, too,â&#x20AC;? Julia said.

Julia had a lemonade stand to raise money and plans to have a bake sale and walk dogs for donations.

Her Cherry Tree fifth grade friends, twin sisters Ellie and Emma Marsella, participate with Julia in Pups running program and also among

the 30 children taking part.

Ellie and Emma is asking neighbors and friends for donations and planning a lemonade stand. Emma said she plans to do some extra chores around the house.

to limit childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will is a 4.0 student,â&#x20AC;? Oberndorfer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played on Guerin soccer team and freshman basketball team. So you can live well and thrive as long as you have the tools and education to manage the disease, which is what we want to do for other families.â&#x20AC;?

For more information on Willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way, visitdiabeteswillsway.com. For Carmel Marathon registration information, visitcarmelmarathon.com.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone donates to us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal one to the family,â&#x20AC;? Oberndorfer said. "We also help underinsured families, who have insurance but their insurance deductibles are so high they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford these devices.â&#x20AC;?

For example, Will has provided a grant to Clayton Garrison, 11, so his family could buy a insulin pump.

Oberndorfer said another mission of the nonprofit is to show Type I diabetes doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom.

There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement.

In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step.

Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in

A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

West Clay Elementary School second grader Briggs Griffin liked his ACHIEVEMENT chances of doing well in the Eco Science Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got into the auditorium, I thought we had a pretty good chance because I saw the judges writing Food Rescue on their paper,â&#x20AC;? Griffin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking and hoping we would get first prize.â&#x20AC;?

Griffin and West Clay second grader Lauren Clay did indeed take first place in the kindergarten through fourth place division at Eco Science Fair at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis on March 20.

Under the guidance of cafeteria manager Beth Galloway, West Clay collects unopened food that the students do not eat at lunch.

Nicki Griffin, Briggsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, transports the food from the school and to the Merciful HELP Center at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Lauren got involved because her mother Kate Lopez is part of the Carmel Clay Schools Green program.

The students had a poster board displaying how the program works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She and Briggs did a really good job talking to all the adults that were asking the questions (about the project),â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that helped a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Like Briggs, Lauren was thrilled with the honor.

Lauren Clay and Briggs Griffin with cafeteria manager Beth Galloway took first place in K-4 division of the Eco Science Fair on March 20. Clay and Griffin won tickets to an Indianapolis Indians game and received certificates for their presentation to the judges. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really proud that I won because I was doing it for our school,â&#x20AC;? Lauren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really thinking about (winning). I was just hoping people would sign up.â&#x20AC;?

The students had a sign-up sheet for the Food Rescue.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;So people could sign their names and schools and we could forward it on to the Food Rescue people,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So then they could start a program in their schools. The kids were really excited about that.â&#x20AC;?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Can Cruz be the real deal?

Is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) really that â&#x20AC;&#x153;scary,â&#x20AC;? as many members of the (liberal) media and Democratic Party have painted him? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. He is different; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll allow that. Cruz has been in the so-called limelight for all of two years, and after listening to his off-the-cuff campaign announcement (no Tele-Prompter for that guy) last week, here is what we came away with: He credits Jesus for fueling his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the family fold; we need to dump the IRS and ObamaCare; and the Common Core just needs to go away. On the first, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to refute it? As to the rest, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in; where do we sign up? But, really, could this be a case of a candidate rolling out his agenda and tailoring it for the audience? After all, he was at Liberty University, the prominent, private Christian institution of higher education in Lynchburg, Va. Maybe not, but we all should watch to see if he stays true as time goes by. Meanwhile, a haiku for Republican Party leadership: 4[TRcX^] R^\TcW C^^ \P]h RP]SXSPcTb ]^f 2P]Âľc QT bTaX^db Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the March Madness-style, Republican presidential-hopeful brackets on social media. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be funny, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.

The GOP leadership is so dysfunctional that it has a veritable Sweet Sixteen of candidates. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a favorite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and many believe that after an exhaustive search, another Bush (this time, Jeb) will be the answer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably best to focus on him. Scott Walker (we still like him), Cruz and Mike Huckabee are there to further divide the party, and then throw in Rand Paul and Ben Carson, and possibly George Pataki and Lindsey Graham, among others, and the party could have a huge mess on its hands. But the GOP majors in huge messes. Look no further than the aftermath of Mitt Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beatdown of President Barack Obama in the first of three president debates last election cycle. He had his man down, and he let him back up. We marvel at how Republicans continually screw up the proverbial two-car funeral.

Stone houses

Commentary by Terry Anker

The classic childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, The Three Little Pigs, teaches that wolves have an amazing lung capacity and that a stone house is better than a wooden or straw one. Stone houses last a long time. In Peru for a conference, it seemed imprudent to be in the South American country without making the trek to the famed, ancient city of Machu Picchu. The trip was replete with the challenges and peculiarities found so far off the beaten path â&#x20AC;&#x201C; trains donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run in some places during the rainy season due to frequent mud slides, locals drink a beer made from corn and strawberries (yes, it is pink) to wash down a meal of Guinea Pig (yes, the rodent), and central heat (let alone air conditioning) is a luxury beyond even the most deluxe hotels. But, the sheer beauty of the place and the ingenuity of the native people makes for a compelling journey.

The city, built as a retreat by the last of a long line of Inca (loosely translated as King), is believed to have taken many years and as many as

8,000 people to build. The permanent residents of 300 or so were doubled when the Inca and his entourage rolled into town. Engineers perfected stonework, water distribution, and agricultural terracing allowing for what must have been a high quality of life for the privileged few.

With the Spanish invasion, technologies like glass mirrors were introduced. While the Inca may have seen themselves for the first time, we see them only in the stone they left behind.

Like the Inca, the Spaniards did not believe in a shared culture. Maybe, those who live in stone houses shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw glass. Ultimately temples were replaced with cathedrals and stone gave way to stucco. Even as we build great monuments, can we expect to enjoy them?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow older, we grow riper.

?PQ[^ ?XRPbb^

A while back I was on my way home from dropping a kid at dance/tae kwon do/volleyball/soccer and heard a blip for a nonprofit that organizes letters and care packages for American forces abroad. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been contemplating â&#x20AC;&#x153;adoptingâ&#x20AC;? a soldier for a while; my children often seem oblivious to anything outside our suburban bubble and could seriously use an injection of patriotism.

So I went to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, filled out the application and received a phone call from a delightful elderly lady about a week later.

She assigned us two troops, both stationed in Afghanistan, and explained the rules and expectations. Basically we needed to write once a week, send a care package once a month, and not divulge classified material or include porn. Done! I added the letter-writing to the chore chart and shared the news with the kids. They were less than thrilled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is stupid!â&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about our lives!â&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do I even say?â&#x20AC;? Jeeze! Could they be anymore bratty? I suggested they talk about the Super Bowl, college basketball, their hobbies, the weather, how mean their mom is for making them do this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what you write! Just let them know we are thinking of them.â&#x20AC;?

Hindering my cause was the fact that we never knew if our notes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;survival essentialsâ&#x20AC;? of National Enquirer, Skippy peanut butter and Axe deodorant were arriving. The lady had said the guys may not be able to write back, especially if they were running mountain ops, but she encouraged us to keep up the support. If nothing was returned, we could rest assured they were getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;the goods.â&#x20AC;?

Then just the other day, two months after our adoptions, three letters arrived from one of our troops, thanking the kids profusely for their efforts. He said he truly looked forward to his weekly â&#x20AC;&#x153;update.â&#x20AC;? We learned about his young daughter and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be missing the birth of his second; and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Broncos fan and hates the Patriots.

Finally, my kids understood. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about adding an extra chore to their lists. This is about making a personal connection with a young soldier who is making sacrifices for them every single day, and about getting the chance to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you.â&#x20AC;?

We hope to hear from our other troop soon, but even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already noticed a change in how my children view military personnel, and how they pay a little more attention to the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Write Lettersâ&#x20AC;? remains on the chart, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d argue my kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as a chore anymore. Mission accomplished! Peace out.

Brian, Brian, pants on fire Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

‘Elections only count in May’ Commentary by Mic Mead

When I saw my CPA Clare this past week, I plopped my shoeboxes full of receipts on her desk. That’s when she told me that she had read my column recently where I boasted that I had already completed my 2014 HUMOR income taxes. Caught in a lie, I must have turned red because Clare jotted something on her legal pad. Any reference to being in the red has to be documented.

When I told my wife about my experience, she said she had seen a pattern of deception develop in my columns over the years. “Like Brian Williams, you have become adept at manipulating the facts. But Brian is way better than you—by about 9.95 million dollars a year. I think you should go back to every one of your 800 columns and print a retraction for each exaggeration and flat-out lie you told. Please correct any references to me where I do not appear to be anything but an intelligent, loving wife. Oh, and a superb cook.”

I was going to have a lot of work to do.

I remember in one column, I recounted how our camera had been stolen in Bermuda, but the thief emailed the photos to me along with a critique of my picture-taking ability and advice on a more flattering hairstyle for Mary Ellen.

Was the camera stolen? Yes! The rest? Not so much.

In another column, I went into the garage naked to get a can of diet soda.

The door locked behind me and I spent the night sleeping in my car. Not completely accurate. I was actually getting a can of beer. Okay, I feel better now.

I think Brian Williams should tell the public that even if it makes his stories less interesting, he will from this moment on be 100 percent truthful. Personally, I’m not ready to make that promise.

READERS’ VIEWS Addressing the needs of our veterans Editor, Now that the Indiana General Assembly is over half-way through, our elected officials still have plenty of time to address the critical needs of Hoosier veterans. Although there were a plethora of bills addressing many problems faced by veterans introduced, only very few are still alive…but that is the legislative process. However, there are several issues and opportunities that should be addressed post haste. First, and foremost, the legislature must address the Indiana Veteran/National Guard suicide crisis and the devastating impact of PTSD and traumatic brain injury suffered by our Hoosier troops.

Indiana Legislators should be creative and innovative in addressing the needs of our veterans; but they can also lead the State to leverage Federal resources to connect our veterans to existing services. The Federal Veterans Administration has stated that an average of 36 percent of all veterans should be receiving some type of disability compensation, but here in Indiana, we are only at 26 percent. At only 26 percent, our disabled veterans from Indiana bring in over two billion dollars and support services a year to our state. If the state can achieve the VA’s targeted standard, that would be another $980 million coming in to Indiana to

our disabled veterans…which will also boost our local communities economically.

The legislature also has several opportunities to make permanent the Pence Administration’s appointment of a State Women Veteran Coordinator. Other immediate needs include treatment courts to address the growing problem of veterans suffering PTSD entering our judicial system and protecting the employment of deployed troops. There are many issues facing veterans that should be addressed over time, but the critical issues must be handled sooner than later.

Nationally, Indiana has the 16th largest veterans population and the 4th largest National Guard. We have over 475,000 veterans statewide. That says a lot about our state; yet when it comes to bringing in benefits for our military and veterans and programs for them, Indiana ranks 47th up from 48th.

Our military personnel have honorably served both state and country; all making a sacrifice for all of us. It is time for the General Assembly and the citizens of our State to answer the call of duty and support our troops and Hoosier veterans!

TIF still doesn’t cover costs Editor, Recently in Current, CRC President Bill Hammer opined that ‘CRC Funds are on track.’

Simple math, using the CRC’s own 2014 annual report and 2015 budget shows that NOT remotely to be the case. We’re told ad nauseam the CRC is a ‘going concern.’ Business 101 says a going concern has revenue EXCEEDING expenses. The CRC’S doesn’t. Their own report CLEARLY states TIF expenses EXCEEDED TIF Revenue by $5 million. These are their numbers. CRC Resolution 2014-7 states “to fulfill obligations, the CRC need(s) to capture ALL TIF for budget year 2015.”

Only through “Non TIF” reserves and one-time cash infusions was the total deficit just under $1million in 2014. State law says these two types of funds are not to be mixed, but the CRC does.

When evaluating the 2015 CRC budget using this criteria, expenses again exceed revenues.

The CRC acknowledges that in 2015 the TIF

deficit will be about $100K based on ‘projections’. When non TIF revenue and expenses are considered it will be ANOTHER half million in the hole. And the mayor says he’s not finished.

When queried, he points to “reserves.” What is left unsaid is the reserves being relied on have yet to routinely match ‘projections.’ It is more gimmickry than business acumen.

A $200 million bailout ‘just’ happened to occur after the last election (including a Special Benefits Tax with OUR property as collateral).

One billion dollars in total CRC debt ends up taking taxes from schools (watch for a CCS 2016 Referendum). One can only reach a realistic conclusion: The CRC, under present leadership, is NOT a going concern.

So which is it, Mr. Hammer and Mr. Mayor? Is the CRC “on track” or it is in a deficit?

Is this even remotely good governance?

Evan Lurie Gallery hosts artist Gorman

By David Nance Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\

Artist Michael Gorman was hosted by the Evan Lurie Gallery at 30 W Main St. in Carmel earlier this month. Current sat down with Gorman for an interview during his visit.

ART Q: Tell us about your background.

A: I suppose Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never really been far away from art.

My mom is a great painter, so I was always around art. I went off to the military for four years right after high school, and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. After I got out of the military I wanted to do architecture, went to college at the University of Kansas, and then moved over to industrial art and design.

Q: What led you to your career in paintingâ&#x20AC;?

A: When I took a painting class, and that was it, I knew. My professor said that I should seriously consider making painting my major, so I did, and I ended up going to Berkley to get my masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. I really never thought I would use my degree, but I did.

Q: What led to partnering with the Evan Lurie Gallery?

A: I met Evan Lurie and his brothers back in 1994, and I gave him some paintings I had left over from college, and they sold them all in a week. That was it. I got a call a few days after and they asked if I could make a few more of these paintings right

away, and offered me a studio, a car, and the money I needed to work. They set me up with everything I needed, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working with them ever since. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold a couple thousand pieces of mine over the past 21 years.

Q: What mediums do you work with?

A: I use pretty much everything as my medium. I use alcoholbased, oil-based, and acrylic all together. Whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to do, like mix oil and water, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first thing I do.

I find that I get a lot more interesting effects with that kind of conflict going on between the materials.

Q: How has your work evolved over the years?

A: Over the years, my style has evolved a lot. My style reverberates, and goes back and forth between lots of things. I paint in many genres, including cowboys, pop art, collage pieces or fond objects. Any excuse to make a painting. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never run out reasons to make paintings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working on different works. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painting of a blue bull, another with the Statue of Liberty, and more with some gunslingers and ballerinas. I have this thing going with cowboys and ballerinas, a contrast that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working on.

Beef & Boards dinner theater is always serving up performances at its northern Indianapolis location. Taking the stage in April the dinner-with-a-show venue will be featuring THEATER the five-time Tony Award winning musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drowsy Chaperone.â&#x20AC;?

The storyline involves a middle-aged theater buff who recalls his favorite musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drowsy Chaperone.â&#x20AC;? As he plays the musicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record, the show comes to life featuring a wedding, gangsters, a theater producer and of course an intoxicated chaperone.

Beginning April 9, Beef & Boards will be hosting this classic, 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s themed performance. Based on the book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drowsy Chaperoneâ&#x20AC;? blends the fun of a musical with the hilarity of a comedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically a musical within a comedy,â&#x20AC;? choreographer and producer Ron Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show comes to life in the imagination of a musical theatre enthusiast. The music is really fun. The music is really in the 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of style and that period is so much fun to stage to and choreograph to so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the appeal, I think, is the music.â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said that, for him, what separates â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drowsy Chaperoneâ&#x20AC;? from other performances heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produced are the comprehensive characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different about it is just itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really defined characters that your working with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really over the top, defined characters in the 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and so it makes it actually really fun to work on because you have something more to go on. Its not just music itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the characters and the story. The story really is those told through those production numbers because of how the show is written, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more my cup of tea because as a director it comes from the production numbers and the choreography.â&#x20AC;?

Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature piece for Easter

By Devynn Barnes Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\ Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story with which most are familiar, but with a modern and artistic twist. This Easter, you can relive the last week PERFORMANCE of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life with all the color, music and movement characteristic of a Gregory Hancock production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SUPERHERO: The Story of a Man Called Jesusâ&#x20AC;? is a show set in â&#x20AC;&#x153;anytime and everyplaceâ&#x20AC;? that chronicles Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last week, and his relationships with Judas Iscariot, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and his disciples. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will have shows on April 3-4.

Kirsten Ferger, President of the Board of Directors for the dance company, says the show has been an audience favorite since the company debuted it eight years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes the characters that we know in the story and it gives the audience a very personal experience of what that week was like,â&#x20AC;? Ferger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings the story to a very human level.â&#x20AC;?

The show is a signature work of Gregory Hancock, who Ferger says is known for his ability to connect with the audience emotionally. He uses his company of world-class dancers as well as elaborate sets, lighting and music to create a show thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting, but is also a respectful tribute to the story many people know and love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is very aware that even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his artistic retelling, he must consider the thoughts and feelings of who will be in his audience,â&#x20AC;?

Actors from Gregory Hancock perform â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SUPERHERO.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

Ferger said.

The story is a classic, but what makes the show so unique is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to be not time or place-specific. It can be interpreted as taking place anywhere at any point in history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story was about keeping kindness and love in every day,â&#x20AC;? Ferger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you hear the story of the last week of Jesus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always put back in time 2000 years ago. Mr. Hancock wanted to bring that story alive as it happens every day.â&#x20AC;?

The perfect show for the Easter season, SUPERHERO will be at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel April 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling 8433800 or online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.com.

February home prices rise Commentary by Jim LItten With 2,036 pended sales in February in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 8.3 percent compared to REAL ESTATE this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, February 2015 pended home sales rose 2.7 percent compared to February 2014, an increase of 53 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Six of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to February 2014, including Hamilton County where sales rose .2 percent to 417 homes. Â&#x201C; In the Fishers/Geist market, home sales slipped slightly. Last month, 134 homes pended, a decrease of 16 homes compared to February 2014. Â&#x201C; Inventory in the Fishers/Geist area is shrinking. In February 2015, 472 homes were available for sale, a decrease of 6.3 percent from last year. Â&#x201C; Home prices in the Fishers/Geist market continue to make gains. For the first two

months of this year, home prices averaged $251,185, an increase of 1.1 percent compared to the same time period last year. Â&#x201C; Of the pended home sales in the Fishers/ Geist area last month, seven were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 22 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 29 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 75 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and one was priced at $99,999 or less. Â&#x201C; Inventory continues to move at a steady pace.

In the Fishers/Geist area, homes remain on the market an average of 81 days, the same pace compared to this time last year.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to see the first quarter moving in a positive direction. As we head toward the spring selling months, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re optimistic that modest sales gains will continue across most of Central Indiana.

Coconut oil: The best fat fighter?

Commentary by Cory Black

The Scoop: How about this: a small, casual, old-fashioned restaurant that serves traditional hotdogs in fun, family oriented atmosphere?

If that sounds good to you, then Zackyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is just the place for you. A wide range of hotdogs prepared in a variety of ways fills the Zackyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu. Not into hotdogs? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK, because Zackyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also offers barbecue items such as ribs, brisket and Italian beef. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to check out Zackyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combos and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; menu.

Everyone has some body fat they want to lose. Adding coconut oil to your diet is one way to help drop pounds. So how NUTRITION can coconut oil help you lose fat?

Coconut oil is primarily made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Unlike the typical long chain triglycerides (LCTs) in our diet, MCTs are easily broken down immediately for use rather than stored, whereas, LCTs found in other dietary fats produce some energy but are more likely to end up as body fat.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the medium chain fatty acids (MCTs) found in coconut oil are rapidly absorbed that they help reduce fat stores. MCTs provide a rapid energy source that provide a thermogenic effect, which subsequently increases metabolism and helps burns your fat stores. One study, published in Metabolism, found that calories burned shortly after consuming MCTs were almost twice as high as from normal fat sources: 120 calories versus 66 calories.

Conventional dietary fats (LCTs), on the other hand, have the same chemical structure as body fat, which is why excess calories from conventional fats are very prone to being stored.

Coconut oil and MCTs have a smaller molecular structure. It is easier for your body to absorb and transport MCTs directly from the small intestine

to the liver by the portal vein. In the liver, some of the MCTs are turned into ketone bodies, which the muscles can use for energy. A portion is converted to ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

MCT is processed in the liver and there is little left to be stored as fat.

Unlike hydrogenated coconut oils from the past, a virgin coconut oil is not hydrogenated and has zero cholesterol. In fact, coconut oil is one of the healthiest fats to have in your diet.

It also has other health benefits, such as lauric acid, which has amazing antiviral, antibacterial and antiprotozoal properties.

Add a little coconut oil to your diet and harness some natural fat loss benefits from MCTs. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel. He may be contacted at 569-5368 or cory@ pointblanknutrition.com.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marinateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;marinadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Commentary by Jordan Fischer QUESTION: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Grammar Guy, is there a difference between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;marinateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;marinade?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was flipping through a GRAMMAR GUY cook book the other day and the author seemed to be a real stickler for those two words. It made me wonder. Thanks for responding!â&#x20AC;?

ANSWER: As grilling season will be fast upon us, this seems like a perfect time to jump into this one. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get to it!

The big difference here is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;marinadeâ&#x20AC;? is a noun, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;marinateâ&#x20AC;? is a verb.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;marinadeâ&#x20AC;? is a sauce â&#x20AC;&#x153;in which meat or fish is soaked to add flavorâ&#x20AC;? or to make more tender.

For some reason the dictionary discriminates against veggie-lovers here, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t: go ahead and drop whatever you like into a marinade, vegetarian readers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m personally fond of dropping some bell peppers, onions and tomatoes into a

nice lemony marinade for kabobs.

Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hungry â&#x20AC;Ś but, back to grammar!

To â&#x20AC;&#x153;marinateâ&#x20AC;? is to put your meat or veggies of choice into the sauce. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as that, really.

Now, before I draw the wrath of the culinary community upon me, there is a word used in the kitchen for soaking non-protein items in liquid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;mascerate.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used primarily to mean softening fruit by steeping in a liquid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marinateâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;marinadeâ&#x20AC;? are perfectly acceptable for the rest of us, though.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it! Now that our grammar question is settled, on to more gastronomic pursuits: grilling season is almost here!

Traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garden of Gethsemaneâ&#x20AC;? on Mount of Olives ?W^c^ Qh 3^] :]TQT[

The Garden of Gethsemane Commentary by Don Knebel During Passion Week, Christians around the world will rehear the story of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agony in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garden of Gethsemane.â&#x20AC;? Travelers to TRAVEL Jerusalem can visit what is said to be the very garden. But whether Jesus ever set foot in that garden is far from certain.

Surprising to many Christians, the Bible never mentions a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garden of Gethsemane.â&#x20AC;? The Gospels of Mark and Matthew report that Jesus shared a Passover meal with his disciples before going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gethsemane,â&#x20AC;? a corruption of Hebrew words literally meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;wine press for oils,â&#x20AC;? where he prayed and was then betrayed by Judas. The Gospel of John says Jesus prayed with his disciples the night before Passover and was later betrayed by Judas in an unnamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;garden.â&#x20AC;?

From these accounts, some Christians concluded that Gethsemane was a garden, while others concluded Jesus prayed at the site of a wine press and then went to a garden.

Since the fourth century, Christians have identified multiple locations near the foot of the Mount of Olives matching their own conceptions of Gethsemane. The most popular site is a walled garden across the Kidron Valley from the Temple

Mount. It includes flower-lined paths and eight olive trees carbon-dated to the time of the Crusaders, making them the oldest such trees on earth. The adjoining Church of All Nations, built in the 1920s on the site of earlier churches, is claimed to cover the stone on which Jesus knelt while he prayed. At least three other locations on the Mount of Olives, including a cave said to have housed an ancient wine press, are also associated with the Biblical accounts of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agony in Gethsemane. The traditional choices for Gethsemane are all near major first century roads crossing the Mount of Olives. Some scholars believe a secluded location north and east of traditional locations would be a more likely spot for someone seeking to pray.

For Christian visitors to Jerusalem, whether the traditional sites of Gethsemane are precisely the place of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agony is irrelevant. Being in the vicinity of where Jesus prayed on the night before his crucifixion is close enough.

The Fleck home in the Victorian era (below), and the home after a garden remodel (above). BdQ\XccTS _W^c^b

If this garden could talk: Historical Carmel home refurbishes Victorian-era outdoor space

By Devynn Barnes Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]RPa\T[ R^\

It was a junkyard, then an apartment building, and now a family home and the future location of a wedding reception. The Carmel house on 1st Street has a lot of history, inside and out, and LANDSCAPING thanks to the current owners, the Fleck family, that history has been maintained. The house recently had its garden and landscaping refurbished by Eagleson Landscaping. Using artifacts found in the backyard and materials that would have been used in the late 1800s when the house was built, Eagleson and the Flecks were able to create an outdoor sanctuary with a historic feel.

Owner of the home, Jane Fleck, said that the refurbishing of the garden was inspired by the time she and her husband spent living in Vienna, Austria before they moved to Carmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lived in Europe for three years, and I just really enjoyed the gardens,â&#x20AC;? Fleck said. She loved the ornate landscaping and beautiful architecture she saw there, and so when the time came to refurbish the garden at her own historic own, she called Bill Eagleson of Eagleson Landscaping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The house is very historical, and all the landscaping has [stayed] in a vain of what would have been put in in that kind of Victorian era,â&#x20AC;? Eagleson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on older homes in the Meridian-Kessler area, but as far as a home this vintageâ&#x20AC;Ś it was a little unique.â&#x20AC;?

Eagleson said that they had limestone steps and clay brick cut to make sure that everything looked original. They decided to put a medallion with an old urn in the middle of the garden and used travertine to keep to the vintage theme.

Fleck said that as they went through the restoration, artifacts would turn up in the dirt reminding them of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junkyard past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things just worked their way to the surface,â&#x20AC;? Fleck said. An old glass bottle, a chipped plate and metal tools have all been found in the backyard, and some pieces have been used as dĂŠcor in the garden.

The garden will be the site of the Fleckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding reception this spring, providing a beautiful backdrop for the celebration. The Flecks will also be on the Carmel Clay Historical Garden Tour for the second time this summer, starting June 13.

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!â&#x20AC;?

Not that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything wrong with that.

Creating an open, contemporary concept kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

BEFORE & AFTER

EXISTING KITCHEN: Located in the Springmill Streams subdivision in Carmel, this 20-year-old kitchen had a choppy BLUEPRINT FOR layout that didn’t work IMPROVEMENT for the homeowners.

A large walk-in pantry monopolized too much space and divided the kitchen from the formal dining room. The homeowners’ dream was to create an open-concept layout for better flow and modernize the design for a more contemporary look.

REMOVING PANTRY: To create the desired open layout, the pantry and walls separating the kitchen from the dining room were eliminated.

As a result, the space now feels spacious and bright. In place of the pantry, a new desk was installed using maple cabinetry with a “Coco” finish. A Cambria “Torquay” countertop was chosen to contrast with the dark cabinetry.

TYING IN DINING AREA: To compensate for lost storage from the terminated pantry, new contrasting cabinets with a “Polar” finish and a Cambria “Wellington” countertop were installed along the far dining room wall to store rarely used china and kitchen accessories. The new pantry wall also functions as a buffet for formal dinner parties.

MODERN DETAILS: The existing layout of the kitchen worked well; it simply needed to be modernized. The same two-toned cabinetry and

Cambria countertops from the desk and dining area were used for the kitchen perimeter wall and island for consistency. A separate beverage station was added to keep traffic out of the main prep area. The sleek stainless steel appliances and glass tile backsplash polish off the desired contemporary look.

CONNECTING KITCHEN WITH DINING ROOM: LED recessed can lights, under cabinet lighting and new pendants installed on dimmer switches adds visual interest and helps connect the two spaces. New hardwood flooring was installed throughout the main level to create a continuous look.

RESULT: “We love having so much space to move about in the kitchen the most. Before the remodel, we never used the formal dining room.

The new layout allows us to use the entire space all the time.”
