Some small dogs test out the new park for the first time. (File photo)

Dog park expansion coming

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Many projects are planned for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation in 2018, including an expansion to the dog DEVELOPMENT park.

Carmel Clay Parks Director Mark Westermeier said the Central Bark Park at 1427 E. 116th Street will expand from 3 to 4 acres this summer by extending a fence and developing the new area. He said storage areas have been relocated to allow for the additional space and that the new area will have a mulch surface to provide a different experience for pet owners.

Kurtis Baumgartner, director of the Monon Community Center, said the dog park has about 400 members with 300 people on the waitlist.

“After the expansion, we’ll be able to eliminate the waitlist sometime in the May time period, hopefully,” he said.

He said some of the waitlist has already been reduced by allowing additional small dogs to receive membership. He said this is because the smaller dog area — which is separated — isn’t as busy and small dogs have less impact on the grass.

“The turf area is extremely important so everyone can have a positive experience,” he said.

Baumgartner said the “doggie DNA” program that is used to prevent dog owners from neglecting to pick up waste has been successful. The cost of the program is paid for by members of the dog park — not Carmel tax-

payers — and most members have respected the rules. He said they’ve had to test dog waste less than 10 times.

The Carmel Clay Parks Board also is moving forward with plans for the west side of Carmel with The Groves, a project at West Park which includes an 8,000-square-foot program pavilion, loop trail in the woods, parking and entrance drive. Nearly $5.6 million has been approved for the project.

There’s also been discussions about possibly developing a community center, similar to the Monon Community Center, in west Carmel. Nothing specific is on the table, but the idea is in the CCPR master plan, and some members of the Clay Township Board support the idea.

Carmel Clay Parks also is working on a redevelopment of Inlow Park’s playground, which was approved in January at a cost of $930,000. The new playground includes a skywalk structure, an explorer dome, a rope climbing course and more.

The redesign of the Monon Community Center is complete with new entrances and security checkpoints. Carmel residents can still use the walking track for free, but only if they sign up for a pass that includes a chip that sounds an alarm if they try to enter the fitness area. In addition, some spaces have been converted to fitness areas, such as the bridge over the Monon Greenway, which has new cardio equipment.

“The No. 1 complaint we were previously getting from members is that people were sneaking in,” Baumgartner said.

CarmelFest Has Talent – Registration is open for CarmelFest Has Talent, the annual vocal competition that takes place at CarmelFest in July. This year, the competition is open to vocalists and other types of performers. The three categories are: 15 and younger, 16 and older and solo instrumentalist and ensembles.

The event will also include a light lunch and presentaCallahan tion of the Heritage Award to Clay Township Trustee Doug Callahan. It is open to the public. Tickets cost $25 for CCHS members and $30 for non-members.

59 townhomes proposed

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a rezone approval in November 2017, Onyx + East, LLC is moving forward with plans for 59 for-sale DEVELOPMENT townhome lots on 4 acres at 116th Street and College Avenue.

The site will include entrances off 116th Street and College Avenue using a new public street. It will include garages, on-street parking and guest parking.

The Carmel City Council voted 6-1 in November to approve rezoning for the $13.5 million townhouse project on the southwest corner of the intersection. The Carmel Plan Commission’s residential committee will discuss the details of the project April 10.

es ranging between $220,000 to $300,000.

The development has come under scrutiny by neighboring residents, most notably from Applewood Estates. Shirley Fleming, a resident of Applewood Estates, wrote a letter expressing concerns about the density.

She said she’d prefer two-story structures instead of three-story buildings.

“I believe this property should be developed according to its surroundings of residential homes to the south side of 116th Street,” she stated.

When the rezone was approved, city councilors said they foresaw a residential development, rather than office or retail space, as a huge win for neighbors.

A 15-foot-wide buffer is proposed for the west perimeter. The south buffer yard will be 20 feet, according to the plan commission report.

Concern goes beyond Carmel

proposed project. Lynda Cook, who lives in Lacoma Estates on Copley Place, said she feels pressured by the developer to sell her home. If she doesn’t, she is concerned the property value will drop if it backs up to the hospital.

Other homeowners who live a little farther from the site also are concerned.

Dana Cristee, who lives a mile away at 106th Street and Spring Mill Road, said the project will affect her neighborhood as well.

“I’m concerned about traffic and noise and the light,” she said. “We built our home here almost 18 years ago, and we were always told the west side of Spring Mill would always remain residential.”

INDIANAPOLIS RESIDENTS Some Marion County residents south of 96th Street also have raised objections.

Sally Page, president of the Belle Meade Homeowners’ Association, said her neighborhood supports Carmel residents in opposing the rezone.

“It would change our little corner of Marion County forever,” she said. “Dozens of neighborhoods are opposed, both in Carmel and Indianapolis. Sometimes, you have to admit that some things are just plain wrong. This is one of those times.”

Residents near Spring Mill Road and 96th Street are raising questions about a proposed medical center HOSPITAL planned at that intersection.

The hospital group hasn’t been publicly disclosed, but the development, represented by Ambrose Property Group and Bremner Real Estate, would include nine buildings and four parking garages and cost up to $1 billion.

The first public hearing is set for April 17 before the Carmel Plan Commission at Carmel City Hall. The matter will be sent to committee prior to a full commission vote, likely in June.

CARMEL RESIDENTS Some neighbors have set up a legal defense fund to challenge the rezoning of the property, and they are considering hiring experts to review the situation. Murray Clark, an attorney at Faegre Baker Daniels, represents the Cedar Knolls Homeowners Association in the rezone process.

In a letter from Bremner Real Estate, the developer said Ambrose Bremner Healthcare is “prepared to purchase all 13 homes in Lacoma Estates,” which is next to the

Neighbors appeal mosque ruling

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com On Feb. 26, Carmel’s Board of Zoning Appeals approved a proposal for an Islamic Life Center at 141st DEVELOPMENT Street and Shelborne Road near the city’s border with Zionsville. Many celebrated that it would create the first mosque in Carmel city limits, but some neighbors expressed concerns about traffic, noise and more.

Now, five neighbors have hired Zionsville attorney Michael Andreoli to represent them and ask for a judicial review of the BZA’s approval of the special use application.

“Obviously, they didn’t agree with the BZA decision, and that’s why they are appealing,” Andreoli said.

The plaintiffs include David Bidgood, Sheila M. Graves, Salvatore Pappalardo, David J. Reeves and Angelo R. Stanco.

A pretrial conference hearing has been scheduled for Hamilton County Superior Court Judge Steve Nation’s court April 25.

The Al Salam Foundation, which is planning to build the mosque, sent out a letter last week stating, “This is not a surprise nor an unexpected development. This has been a possible outcome following the BZA decision.”

The Al Salam Foundation does have legal counsel available in case any action is needed. Ashhar Madni, a board member for the foundation, said it’s too early to comment but the foundation will inform the public when more information is available.

CCS to ‘temporarily postpone’ changes to high-ability program

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Embarrassing Nail Disease?

Carmel Clay Schools has decided to “temporarily postpone” the implementation of the Total School Cluster EDUCATION Grouping model, which was planned to begin for the 2018-19 school year.

program review,” states an email from CCS administrators sent March 31.

Each elementary campus has scheduled meetings led by the principal to discuss the TSCG model, answer questions and gather feedback. The district is planning meetings in May for parents to learn about the Elementary Program Evaluation, which led to the decision to switch to TSCG. Jennifer Zivoin, the mother of a high-ability student at Forest Dale Elementary who created a petition opposing the change, said she doesn’t believe CCS’ decision to postpone implementation of the program will make much of a difference.

“It would seem nothing has really changed regarding the district’s plans,” she stated in an email. “This letter simply seems to be a pacifier while the district tries to convince parents that it is in the best academic interest of high ability and gifted learners to remove the high ability program.”

CCS officials did not respond to a request for more information as of press time.

In February 2016, a lip-sync video posted on the Facebook page of Kristin and Danny Adams changed their lives.

The Hendricks County couple FAITH created a mashup of love songs while wearing different costumes. It went viral, receiving more than 300 million views on Facebook.

“We now have a global audience of nearly 1 million people who follow our online adventures,” Kristin said. “It’s been a blast and incredibly humbling to see our heart for creating family friendly content, where God is always welcome, resonating with so many people.”

Kristin and Danny will share their message of faith at 9 and 10:45 a.m. April 15 at Carmel United Methodist Church. The services are free and open to the public.

“We’ll be sharing a bit about what our lives looked like back during our dating relationship and early years of marriage, and then how things drastically changed for the better once we invited God to be a part of

our relationship,” Kristin said. “We’ll also be talking about the overall purpose of marriage, and how our individual differences play a part in bringing about God’s bigger plan for our lives.”

In addition to the love songs lip-sync video that went viral, Kristin and Danny put out a new video every Friday. They say that laughter is the best medicine, quoting Proverbs 17:22, that declares, “A merry heart does good like medicine.” They’ve done lipsync videos with Halloween songs, summer songs, songs from the movie “The Greatest Showman” and more. They also do original songs and create marriage advice videos and family travel videos.

People always ask where they get their ideas. Kristin said coming up with them is never a problem.

“It’s not so much the ideas that are hard to come by, but (it’s) the time to pull them off that proves to be most challenging,” she said. “Between our events and speaking schedules and homeschooling our two kids, we don’t get much sleep these days.”

Through it all, Kristin said faith has grounded her family.

“For us, our faith is everything,” she said.

“It gets us up in the morning, guides us throughout the day and helps us to sleep peacefully at night. It’s a vital component in our marriage, parenting, relationships and business. There is a tendency to compartmentalize faith, but it was meant to be mixed into every part of our lives, so we do our best to put God first in all we do.”

Many charity events involve a 5K run or a golf outing, but the Pulling for Wishes Airplane Pull hosted by FUNDRAISER Republic Airways is a completely different kind of fundraiser.

Teams of 10 attempt to pull a 24-ton jet at least 15 feet the fastest. The April 21 event also includes activities for kids and families.

“Kroger has a big kids zone that they sponsor with their vendors,” said Amy Chiappe, director of corporate and community responsibility for Republic Airways. “We have bouncy houses for the kids. We have a stilt walker, a juggler, face painting, balloon making. We have a tiny home on display.”

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett will host the day’s activities, and former Colts player and radio show host Joe Staysniak will emcee. The event benefits the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and Riley Children’s Foundation. Children from those organizations participate in a pull with local celebrities.

“Anybody that has been or is one of those kids comes out, and they pull with any of the celebrities we have,” Chiappe said.

You’re Invited!

“Those kids get so excited.”

The event is in honor of Tyler Frenzel, an ICWF recipient and Carmel resident who died at age 9 in 2004.

“Tyler was diagnosed in 2002 with leukemia,” said Tyler’s mother, Pam Frenzel. “He chose a family trip to Disney World (for his wish). Then he had to go through a bone marrow transplant and relapsing.”

Carmel Tri Kappa will host its fourth annual bingo fundraiser during what a Tri Kappa Bingo Committee PHILANTHROPY member calls a “fun” and “raucous” night to raise funds for scholarships benefiting local high school seniors.

“We are constantly looking to improve it and be able to raise more money so that those scholarships are funded. The hope is to be able to expand it a little bit as well,” event chair Terry Denari said.

The event includes 10 games of bingo beginning at 6 p.m. April 19 at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St. Dinner is included and

“We feel like bingo night is a three-pronged event,” Denari said. “It’s a really fun night.

We have a good time. It’s kind of surprising how you maybe consider bingo to be a quiet thing and it ends up being a really raucous and fun night. It’s also a way to reach out to the community (members) who maybe do not know about Tri Kappa. It’s a fun team-building night for Tri Kappa members themselves, and everything we do that night ends up funding our philanthropic arm.”

Prairie Trace promotes kindness

By Dawn Pearson news@currentincarmel.com March marked the kickoff of the second annual Kindness Campaign at Prairie Trace Elementary School. During EDUCATION the initiative, students and staff aim to spread kindness to strangers and people they know.

Kindness overwhelming hate is what inspired Julie Schipp, Prairie Trace principal, to launch the initiative.

“Students and staff began spreading kindness to unsuspecting strangers and friends and realized that random acts of kindness inspire those around you,” Schipp said. “We also encourage and teach our students to ‘find their voice’ through leadership and making their community stronger.”

Organizers discovered during last year’s inaugural campaign that the students and families continued acts of kindness outside of the local community, Schipp said, adding that one family bought ice cream for an unsuspecting family on the streets of Mexico and shared their act of kindness on the Prairie Trace Kindness Crew Facebook page.

This inspired others to think beyond the

Carmel community.

The Kindness Campaign encourages students to develop awareness and empathy for others at a young age so they can carry it through their entire lives.

“It is our responsibility, as community members, to spread positive actions and love in hopes that we will change the world in a positive way,” Schipp said.

When we heard about it we just thought of all the younger families we serve, although it’s certainly applicable to families of any age.”

Curtis previously authored the book “JoyPowered: Intentionally Creating an Inspired Workspace.”

“We thought this would be a great way to

bring them in to hear from some experts on how to create joy in your household,” Hamilton said. “We all get so busy. The kids are going different ways and the parents are going different ways. The challenge becomes how do you choose joy for yourself and your loved ones and create a more positive family life by focusing on each family member’s strengths?”

Curtis Books will be available for purchase at the event, which will include refreshments, a presentation by the authors and a Q&A session. Proceeds from book sales will benefit the CCPL Foundation.

Historian documents log cabins of Carmel

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Katherine Dill set out on a quest to rediscover a slice of Carmel’s history by documenting all of the log cabins in city limits. In the spring of 2016, she began COVER STORY knocking on doors to learn about some of the oldest homes in Carmel.

“It’s pretty unique that a community of our size still has some log cabins from the 1800s,” Dill said. “That’s just not common.”

Dill, a Carmel resident, previously worked at the Indiana Historical Society and served as director of the Carmel Clay

Historical Society from 2009 to 2014.

“I’m a history geek,” Dill said. “One of the things that I love seeing is elements of history that are still out there that tell the story.”

Dill is a CCHS volunteer and said she loves to work on special projects, including her quest to learn more about 13 log cabins in Carmel.

“Within these houses themselves, it Dill tells the story of the community and its growth,” Dill said. “Everyone thinks of Carmel as up-andcoming, but there really is a lot of deep history.”

Stan Burgess of Indiana Landmarks said what is typically called a log cabin in the Midwest is actually a log home, distinguished by the use of square, hewn logs rather than raw, rounded logs that are more typical of log cabins on the East Coast. Hewn timber was often used in Midwest log-building because the homes were designed to be more permanent, he said, adding that log construction used local materials.

Many of the cabins can be found along the White River or local creeks, which were used to transport goods and logs.

Burgess said the additions and expansions on the original log cabin structures are a good indication of the pioneer mentality that nothing should go to waste.

W. MAIN ST. LOG CABIN Learn more about the cabins at goo.gl/H4VLYV

Main Street and Clay Center Road The owners of the W. Main St. log cabin, Donald and Phyllis Morrow, have deliberately maintained and preserved the authenticity of the home. The original cook-in fireplace and a 26-foot log beam remain exposed in the interior of the home, which was built in 1835.

The Morrows added brick to the exterior to give the home a unified look, but a wide chimney on the exterior offers a peek into the home’s rich history. Phyllis said she enjoys that the home is much warmer than more modern homes.

Burgess said he agrees that log homes are cozier than modern stick construction and more air-tight, too.

KINZER CABIN 9

S. RANGE LINE ROAD LOG CABIN Pine Valley Drive and Range Line Road

The Wilkinson Hull home, built in 1834 by David Wilkinson, was originally a two-story, two-room log cabin with a double porch.

In 1900, Wilkinson sold the property to Margaret Shackelford. Shackelford’s daughter and son-in-law, Herman and Margaret Dinkelaker, operated Dinkelaker’s Dairy on the property and sold bottled milk throughout Carmel. The farmland, which grew corn and soybean crops, was cut in half during the extension of Keystone Parkway. The original farmland is now the site of the Carmel High School football stadium.

The tract of land which is home to the Kinzer Cabin was purchased by John Kinzer in 1828. In 1830, Kinzer and his wife, Ruth, built a two-story cabin on the property as their home. In 1847, Kinzer built an additional Greek Revival-style white house on the site. The homestead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Kinzer utilized the property for farming,

The log cabin on South Range Line Road at Pine Valley Drive is comprised of seven log cabins that were transported to Carmel from Camp Atterbury in 1946. An eighth cabin, which was used a guest house, was later added and is now part of a separate property.

OTHER CABINS 1. Main Street and Keystone Parkway — The log cabin was converted into a guest residence in the mid-1900s by then-property owner Virgil Thornberry 2. 126th Street — Built in Brown County in the 1840s, approximately a century later an Indianapolis dentist bought the cabin and had it moved to Range Line Road in Carmel.

It was moved to its present location in the late 1990s.

3. 122nd Street — This multi-room log cabin was moved from northern Indiana within the last 20 years. The

Main Street and Harrowgate Drive

owner intended to restore it but has yet to do so.

4. Spring Mill Road — The history of this cabin is unclear.

It could have been built by the Frenzle family, which moved to the property sometime after 1933, or built by a previous owner.

5. North College Avenue — A two-story log cabin built in the 1800s makes up the core of the house there today.

6. Diddle cabin — Golf course designer Bill Diddle built three log cabins in this area between 1930 and 1931 using materials from log cabins and barns found near the White River in the Meridian Hills area of Indianapolis.

7. Hope Crest Farms on W. 96th Street — A log cabin built in the early 1800s originally located at 86th Street and Ditch Road was moved here in the late 1800s.

8. Haverstick Road — One room of the home, which looks like a typical ranch home from the 1970s, began as a log cabin. The cabin was built between 1823 and 1866, with the brick additions likely made in the early 1900s.

9. 101st Street and Range Line Road — The log cabin was built in Fort Wayne and moved to a farm near Keystone Ave. and 91st Street. The cabin moved to its current site during construction of I-465.

Digesting the pancake

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker

Hoosier political leader Rex Early was known to urge bipartisanship with the adage, “I’ve never seen a pancake so thin it didn’t have two sides.” The simple, accessible aphorism makes a hefty point. In order for a civil society to bind itself together, the pancake needs a top and bottom. The physics of the beloved breakfast food requires it.

Sure, the sides of the pancake can be a little different. In our house, one side always seems to get slightly crispy. It depends upon the chef as to whether the burnt side is turned up to warn the hungry table mate of what’s in store – or, it can be turned down, masking the shame of the inattentive cook. Regardless, the pancake may have one side that we like better than the other, but we have to eat both if we hope to gain its nutrients.

One wonders if the maxim about the engineering of a flapjack can be used to better inform our understanding of those in the world around us. Can we imagine that our least favorite person is really only one thing – liar, cheater or bad driver? Isn’t it more likely that he or she is a liar (at least in an encounter with us) but also a competent parent, a loving pet owner and dedicated daughter to an aging parent? Is it possible we might be more than one thing?

Deciding to flatten a human being into just two dimensions makes it easier for us to walk on them. If someone is good and bad, we have to burn a bit of mental energy to evaluate them on balance. We must decide if the pancake is simply too burned to eat or if a bit of syrup makes it work.

READER’S VIEW Milam’s integrity needed Editor, I endorse Matt Milam for Hamilton County Commissioner. By trust and integrity, Matt connects with ordinary people, and I would like Hamilton County voters to get to know this good man. Here’s why: Among nearly 40 stated commissioners’ duties, the most controversial are maintaining infrastructure, including roads and bridges, and authorizing county contracts. This has raised serious questions.

There are at least three reasons why we need Matt on the county commission.

Meeting at 1:30 p.m., it’s difficult for taxpayers to know what happens and to give input. Beginning in executive session that can last an hour or more, business appears to be cooked before meetings begin. And receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions, from those who do millions in business with the county, commissioners invite awk-

ward questions.

Enter Matt Milam.

Fourteen years ago, Matt went to the door of every home in Home Place. He led his community when the annexation process by Carmel began. During this time, he earned the trust of his neighbors — rare in politics.

I have concerns about the possible connection between large campaign contributions to county commissioners and the recipients of lucrative county contracts.

We need Matt’s integrity on the Hamilton County Commission.

We want our grandchildren growing up in a county where their leaders are models of transparency. I am encouraged by the trust and integrity Matt will bring to the commission.

I’ll be voting Matt Milam for Hamilton County Commissioner on May 8.

Jim DeCamp, Carmel

In trying to figure out what to write about this week, I took a stroll down memory lane. Some of my Current articles from 2009 in particular are a HUMOR hoot. There’s one about me calling poison control when my niece ate cortisone cream on my watch.

There’s one delivering a beautiful eulogy on “Big Red,” our first minivan. And the best, a column detailing how adept kids are at employing chemical, biological and psychological warfare against parents: “Bodily fluids are available, free and extremely versatile in the hands of a child. You must be prepared!”

Now, that’s great writing.

Most of 2010 followed our adventures in real estate, including my horrifying accidental Republican vote in the primaries and a subsequent mental breakdown in the dairy aisle at Marsh while living with my in-laws in between houses. Good times. Goo-ood times.

Other highlights through the years?

The epic “fist-to-the-face incident” when my younger son popped his older, bratty brother during a family road trip that nearly put us in a ditch. The slow but steady death of my beloved water bra right in the middle of a lesson on polynomials that I was teaching. And, of course, the literal waste geyser that erupted two years ago from our main hall toilet that resulted in a complete kitchen remodel.

By comparison, I feel like life has been on cruise control of late. No more little ones under foot, no new jobs or homes on the horizon, and for the most part, little drama, save for the occasional teenage girl outburst. It may mean fewer exciting columns, sure, but we can always walk down memory lane. Peace out.

But seriously, folks Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Most of what I write about is admittedly exaggeration. If I said my wife left to go shopping and came back two HUMOR days later, that is an obvious embellishment. If my wife were really gone for two days, I would, of course, have called the police.

Here’s what I am concerned about. Because I am always trying to be funny, I’m afraid the cops wouldn’t take me seriously: “Hi. This is Dick Wolfsie. My wife left on Thursday to buy clothes, and I haven’t seen her in two days.”

“Yes, Mr. Wolfsie, a very amusing premise. We here at Missing Persons are aware of the use of hyperbole to create a humorous effect. By the way, we suggest three days. Those with an ear for comedy know that a wife missing for two days just isn’t catchy enough. You need the number three.

Three is a funny number.”

“I’m not trying to be funny, officer. I believe my friend, Alan, ran away with my wife.”

“I know where you’re going with this, Dick. Now you are going to say, ‘And I really miss him?’ Sorry, but that’s a bit predictable. But the comic reversal here has potential. Just needs a little tweaking. “ “Look, I am not writing a humor column.

My wife is gone. When she left the house two days ago, I saw her getting in Alan’s Honda.”

“What a waste of potential amusement, Dick. Try saying a Buick or a Pontiac. Good use of the K sound is what you’re after here. By the way, scrap the name Alan. No one can form a clear mental picture of what someone named Alan would look like. You need a Bubba or a Reginald. Think visually, for heaven’s sake.”

“Look, for the absolute last time, I am not writing a humor column. I am not trying to be amusing. My wife has run away with my best friend. His name is Alan, not Bubba.

I do not miss him. I miss her. I saw them leave together in a Honda. Now, maybe I’m being overly suspicious, but doesn’t that seem a little funny to you?”

“No, Dick, not the way you tell it.”

Lessons from Southwest Commentary by George Klein I’ve flown several different airlines in the past few months. Most recently, I flew Southwest and was reminded how much I enjoy the flight compared EMPLOYEES to other airlines.

Company culture Southwest has created a culture that is positive, fun and engaging for employees.

Employees are happy and interact positively with customers. They are encouraged to be creative in the way they complete otherwise boring, repetitive tasks required by federal regulations.

One of my favorites was the flight attendant who asked, “Did anyone lose this?”

Of course, we all looked up. The attendant was smiling and said, “Now that I have your attention.” He then launched into the safety information, and we not only laughed, but actually paid attention. This kind of creativity makes the job fun for employees and engages customers.

Company policies Southwest is focused on making low-cost air travel easy for customers and has several customer-focused policies, including open seating and no baggage or change fees.

I often joke about the cattle call when passengers are asked to line up according to their check-in number, but it works! Passengers line up, file in and quickly select their seats.

When bags fly free, passengers actually check their bags! On my Southwest flight, the overhead bins were practically empty.

The boarding process was easy, passengers were happy and the trip was off on time and on a positive note.

On a flight with another airline, people didn’t want to pay to check their luggage, so they crammed their belongings into the largest suitcase they could carry on. The boarding process was slowed, and the overhead bins were stuffed full.

Strong company performance Building the right culture has paid off for Southwest. Customer satisfaction ratings are high. According to USA Today, Southwest earned the top overall score in J.D. Power’s survey of individual airline ratings for 2017. Southwest got the top score in both the low-cost carrier category and among all carriers surveyed.

In addition, Southwest has been profitable for 44 consecutive years and has outperformed the market over the past five years.

Southwest had an annualized profit growth rate of 52 percent between 2012 and 2016.

Communication between employees and the company is critical to a strong culture.

Technology, like our text communication platform, makes it easy for employees to send feedback and suggestions to leadership. Without that frontline connection, leaders lose valuable information about customers.

How relationships affect our health Commentary by Dr. Nicole Phillips Although personal relationships have a significant impact on our life, we often don’t think about the influence they have on our WELLNESS health. Studies show that people involved in positive relationships with family and friends tend to be happier and live longer than people who are isolated.

As we look for ways to manage and improve personal health, it’s worth considering how our relationships affect our physical health and emotional well-being. Certainly, there can be positive effects. For example, if we surround ourselves with people who eat healthy and exercise, we’re more likely to adopt the same behaviors. Relationships can also result in negative consequences. Although every situation is different, here are some common health concerns that can be influenced by family and social relationships.

Depression – Although this condition has many causes, unstable relationships with family members and close friends can contribute to depression. Frequent negative interactions with spouses and children can cause mood swings and emotional distress that over time may affect physical health.

Weight management – Managing weight is easier when individuals spend time with people who

eat healthy. Conversely, when we’re around people who overindulge, it’s tempting to follow along.

Social outings with friends and co-workers often take place at restaurants, which typically means larger portions and food selections that are higher in calories and less nutritious.

Alcohol and drug use – Again, it’s more likely that people will engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as heavy drinking or drug use, when they spend time with others who do the same. Although this can occur at any age or life stage, it can be more common with teenagers and young adults.

The first step to making positive changes is to identify and acknowledge when a relationship is negatively impacting health and well-being. A primary care provider is a good resource for exploring possible solutions, which may include referrals for counseling or connecting individuals to community resources or support groups. If isolation is an issue, volunteering or joining a social group are great ways to meet people. Relationships are an essential part of life, so it’s important to establish and nurture the ones that provide the greatest joy.

JFIT training studio opens in Carmel’s Off the Wall

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Jessica Wright has a background in high school special education, but her passion for fitness prompted a career change.

The Carmel resident has operated boot FITNESS camp fitness courses for the past 12 years in Zionsville, Fishers and Carmel and will now expand her offerings by opening JFIT Training Grounds, a personal training studio inside of Off the Wall Sports, 1423 Chase Ct., in Carmel.

“Our philosophy is going to be you walk in strong and Wright walk out stronger,” Wright said. “I feel like everybody has their strengths and weaknesses, and it’s hard sometimes to walk into a fitness facility and have a goal but maybe not have the courage or knowledge to reach that goal. So, our goal is to have a group of trainers in there to help you find strength and also help improve weaknesses.”

Wright will offer one-on-one training as well as group sessions and nutrition guidance. A grand opening is scheduled for April 14 with a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. The grand opening will feature giveaways from KingCal Kitchen and Point Blank Nutrition.

“We want to get everybody in there to see the new business,” Wright said.

Wright’s boot camp courses began as female-only, but she now offers co-ed boot camps. Her new studio will be open to men and women of all ages. Wright also will have offerings for teenagers, senior fitness, rehabilitation, sports conditioning and more at the new studio.

World Voice Day set for April 16 at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Some dream of the chance to sing on The Palladium stage in Carmel.

Thanks to an idea by The Voice Clinic of Indiana, that dream can come true for anyone.

MUSIC For the fourth year, The Palladium will hold World Voice Day at 6:30 p.m. April 16.

“It’s been very successful,” said Julia Shildmyer-Heighway, the Center for the Performing Arts director of education and community engagement. “We’ve probably had 30 singers each time we’ve had it. Our youngest has been 6 years old when she started, and she has done it every year, and her name is Yaya (Wang). The second year she accompanied herself on the Steinway piano. Our oldest singers have been in their 80s. They come from all over the Indianapolis area. We have an incredible accompanist, Sean Baker, who has worked the event every single year.”

Shildmyer-Heighway said people bring their own sheet music and sign in. They are called up to sing in the order of the sign-in sheet, like a karaoke bar.

“Some people accompany themselves on ukelele or guitar,” she said. “Other people bring music on MP3 players or an iPhone, and we have the ability to plug that into our sound system. We’ve had duets and trios.”

Doors open at 6 p.m. The event runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. As a result of time constraints, participation is limited to the first 30 to sign up. Songs are limited to 3 minutes. The event is free to participants and spectators.

“You don’t even have to know anyone who is singing, you can just come and enjoy the evening,” Shildmyer-Heighway said.

“We’ve had jazz and opera singers and a lot of show tunes. Some

of the younger people sing pop music.”

Some of the singers come from the Center’s Group Vocal Coaching Class, which is held for four weeks.

The stage is set like a cabaret night club and people sit at tables. There is a bar on stage.

The Voice Clinic of Indiana, based in Carmel, sponsors the World Voice Day vocal class. The clinic opened four years ago to provide clinical care, medical care, surgical care and voice therapy for people with any and every type of voice disorder and throat problem.

“It was a top priority for us to partner with the Center for the Performing Arts not only because of their phenomenal reputation but because they display the essence of voice in such a variety of ways,” said Dr. Stacey Halum, from The Voice Clinic of Indiana.

“They consistently attract globally acclaimed performers, such as Sheryl Crow (in 2017) and comedians like Dennis Miller (coming in May), and most of their performers use their voice in a unique way to connect with the audience. From soul singing to operatic masterpieces to just using comedic spoken voice to get belly laughs, the performers bring us entertainment that often relies on ‘voice’ as the foundation.”

Halum said they wanted World Voice Day to be a true celebration of voice.

“There is no better way to unite in the celebration of voice than to come together as a community and sing, with each singer being able to perform in his or her own way,” Halum said.

“World Voice Day is about appreciating healthy voices, and we were thrilled to partner with the Center for the Performing Arts so that performers of all levels, ages and backgrounds can enjoy the thrill of using their voices to performing on stage at The Palladium. I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate.”

Carmel Rotary Club’s Rock with Rotary has changed location from Kingston’s Music Showcase to Wolfies Grill, 1162 Keystone Way, Carmel.

The event is at 6:30 p.m. May 3 and three bands will play. Complimentary light appetizers will be available.

The first band to play will be The 11th Hour, featuring 2018 Carmel Rotary President John Stanley. Next will be Phone Club, a regular performer at local events such as CarmelFest and the Carmel International Arts Festival, featuring Carmel Rotarian Bryan Ferry. The final act will be Dwight Lightning and the Conch City All-Stars, a local band that was formed in 2014, drawing together members of various longstanding bands for an opportunity to play a sound that’s described as “island/beach/gulf and western music.”

Tickets are $30. All proceeds go to Carmel Rotary’s community grants fund. Tickets can be purchased online at squareup.com/ store/CarmelRotary/item/rock-with-rotary.

Carmel — Brian Culbertson will present the “Colors of Love Tour” at 8 p.m. April 13 at The Palladium. Learn more and purchase tickets at thecenterpresents.org.

Art on Main sets reception

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Anna Afshar’s painting career started quite by accident.

“My painting journey startEXHIBIT ed with the moment when my then-2-year-old son left his paints and brushes on the table and ran off to play, and I thought, ‘Hmm, I haven’t painted in years, maybe I should try? How could I capture those reflections in the water?’” said Afshar, a Fishers resident. “It was almost 20 years ago, and it has been an incredible journey that totally changed my life. I was a research scientist in a big diagnostic company then. I own a studio in the Stutz building in downtown (Indianapolis) now, and I cannot be happier.”

Afshar and Freddie Kelvin will be the featured artists at Art on Main in Carmel this month. There will be a reception “Time to Escape” for both artists from 6 to 9 p.m.

April 20 at the gallery, 111 W. Main. St. “The highlight of our exhibit will be faraway places that Freddie and I escape to quite often,” Afshar said. “My recent escape was to Florida, so my part of the exhibition is about water, sun and exotic places where you can relax, sail, read a book or have a

glass of wine with your date. There will be all new works.”

Afshar paints in all three mediums, watercolor, oil and acrylic.

Kelvin, a Carmel resident, said the theme of his photography exhibit is predominantly water-related.

“And this includes several reflections, which I find fascinating because reflections in the water are where the real and abstract worlds collide,” Kelvin said. “As a result, photographs of reflections often look more like paintings than realistic photographs. A smaller part of my exhibition is related to dance, as I am a passionate photographer of modern dance and ballet.”

Select Sound concert set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Select Sound senior member Brooke Sullivan is eager for her a cappella choir concert.

“I am looking PERFORMANCE forward to performing on stage with a bunch of my best friends,” Sullivan said.

“They are truly an amazing group of people and I can not wait to show the audience what we have been working on since August.”

The “Ear Candy” concert is set for 7 p.m. April 18 at Carmel High School. This Sullivan is the second year for the concert.

“This year will be fairly similar in format but will feature all new music,” said Kathrine Kouns, CHS director of choirs. “This will be about a 90-minute concert featuring a very wide variety of a cappella music, performed by some of Carmel High School’s best singers. There will be everything from classical pieces to modern-day Pentatonix.

Some of the songs will feature the entire group, and others will be smaller groups of individual students performing songs that

they put together on their own.”

Sullivan said one song she is excited about performing for the first time is “You Will Be Found.”

“The song is originally from the Broadway musical ‘Dear Evan Hansen,’ and Mrs. Kouns got a custom arrangement, so we are really excited to perform that,” said Sullivan, also a member of Accents, the all-female show choir.

There are 20 Select Sound members. Of those, 10 are only in the a cappella choir and 10 also are in Accents or Ambassadors.

Senior tenor Alex Spanenberg Spanenberg is only in Select Sound.

“Select Sound has been working very hard to put together arrangements for an amazing concert showcasing our voices,” he said. “I am glad we have the opportunity to host a concert for the community and families. Putting a personal twist on a wide variety of pieces is really fun and exciting. I am glad Mrs. Kouns gives us the latitude to experiment with our voices.”

Follow the North Star to return

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie’s program depicting slavery and the journey for freedom along the Underground Railroad in 1836 HISTORY will return for its 20th season from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. April 20, 21, 27 and 28.

“Follow the North Star is an immersive, participatory museum theater experience where we invite visitors to assume the role of an enslaved person seeking freedom in 1836 on the Underground Railroad,” said Catherine Hughes, director of museum theater and research at Conner Prairie. “You encounter a variety of characters that are people representing different attitudes and perspectives from that day. Some are friendly, and some are not.”

Participants go through an orientation prior to the program and a debrief after. Participants must be 12 or older. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

During orientation, all participants receive a white fabric and are advised that if the event becomes too intense, they are to tie the fabric around their heads. If used, they will still experience the program but

from a more-removed position. Participants using the fabric can opt to remove it again to rejoin the program. Typically, participating groups consist of 15 to 17 people.

Many participants are from local schools.

“The majority of our audience has developed organically into school groups because (the subject matter) ties in with eighth grade and 11th-grade Indiana history curriculum,” Hughes said. “It’s a very powerful experience, so teachers have really committed themselves to the program for many years because they saw such a great response in their students.”

Tickets are $17 to $20 and can be purchased at connerprairie.org.

Cool Creek Series adds concert

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Hamilton County Parks Dept. officials, more might be better with the Cool Creek Summer Concert Series.

MUSIC “The demand last year to extend the popular concert series into August was so great that the department decided to test the concept of staging six performances this year,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist for Hamilton County Parks. “If it goes well, we’ll look into making it a permanent addition to the series.”

The 24th annual Cool Creek Concert Series, sponsored by the Clay Township Trustee Office and Board, is held at Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st Street, Carmel/Westfield.

The concerts begin with Cook and Belle June 15, followed by My Yellow Rickshaw June 22, Blue River Band June 29, Polkaband July 13 and ESB July 20 and The Flying Toasters Aug. 3. Blue River Band is appearing for the first time.

“Twice, the band has won the 8 Seconds Saloon ‘Country Battle of the Bands,’ and we’re looking forward to this group of talented country musicians lighting up our stage,” Nicholls said. “The park staff works

diligently to research and book a variety of music genres for our fans. Because this event is a series, we are able to do just that. However, the one common characteristic that we demand of all performers being considered is that they engage our fans.”

Nicholls said attendance varies based on weather conditions, band following and other events taking place in the area. But he said a typical season attracts approximately 6,000 concert fans.

Admission is $5. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Discount series passes are available. Gates open at 6 p.m. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at 9:15 p.m. For complete concert series details, visit MyHamiltonCountyParks.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville kitchen expansion Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Zionsville is a perfect space for the homeowners to raise their family. The original kitchen, however, made it tough for the busy family to entertain.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The previous kitchen was long and narrow, making it hard for multiple people to be in the space at once.

Additionally, the bulkheads made the ceilings appear lower and the room feel smaller. The kitchen contained its original cabinets, which lacked appeal and functionality.

The goal was to create a large open-concept kitchen that allowed the homeowners to entertain comfortably and increase overall functionality of the space.

1. The largest modification was removing the wall between the kitchen and the main hallway and utilizing the extra space to add a 10-foot island.

2. Bulkheads were removed and all new ceiling height cabinetry was added to make the space appear larger.

3. The new cabinetry is equipped with accessories, like charging ports and pantry pull-outs, for functional storage.

4. Widening doorways and new flooring made the lower level feel like more of an open concept.

5. New countertops, backsplash, hardware and plumbing fixtures finished off the modern kitchen design.

LIFESTYLE

Starting with an interrobang Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Welcome to the golden age of outrage. If you’re just finishing a 3-year social media cleanse, I’ve got some bad news for you: People are ticked off.

GRAMMAR GUY People are royally ticked about pretty much everything: Guns, kneeling, not kneeling, walls, refugees, Starbucks (in general) and anything that remotely resembles a political stance. And, if you’re not outraged about any or all of the above, there’s an outrage for that, too.

Because of this, I’d like to put forward a controversial idea (no, I’m not talking about the all-emoji newspaper again): the interrobang.

The interrobang (‽) is the passionate love child of the question mark and the exclamation point. And, while it is currently considered a nonstandard form of punctuation, it simultaneously questions your competence and yells at you.

How dare you take ______ position on _____ issue‽ Who do you think you are‽ You put pineapples on your pizza‽ What’s wrong with you‽ The interrobang is distinctly American: insulting, yet efficient.

Conceived by Martin Speckter in 1962, the idea of the interrobang actually gained some popularity for a hot second.

Although most of our computer fonts don’t support it, the interrobang was available on select typewriters in the late 1960s into the 1970s.

I think we’re living in the midst of the interrobang era; therefore, it’s time to bring it into the mainstream. But to type it easily, we’d have to vote off one of the characters on our standard computer keyboards. What symbol gets the boot? How about the tilde (~)? Or maybe the little upside down v thing above the 6 (^)?

In the same way that the Merriam-Webster dictionary adds words based on popular usage (and not necessarily critical approval), what does it take to get a punctuation mark added to common usage? If listicle and humblebrag made their way into the dictionary last year, the interrobang should receive serious consideration.

Arc de Triomphe in Paris. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Napoleon’s triumphal arch Commentary by Don Knebel The Arc de Triomphe is the most famous monument in Paris, inspiring both a notorious aerial stunt and an honTRAVEL ored American memorial.

In 1805, forces under Napoleon defeated Russian and Austrian armies in the Battle of Austerlitz. Now seeing himself in the fashion of victorious Roman emperors, Napoleon decided that he should be able to march his troops into Paris beneath a triumphal arch. He selected Place de l’Étoile (Square of the Star), a plaza at the western end of the Champs Elysees named for its 12 radiating streets, for an arch modeled on Rome’s Arch of Titus. After repeated delays, the 148-foot by 164-foot arch, officially named Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, was dedicated in 1836 during the reign of King Louis Philippe. By this time, Napoleon had been exiled to Helena and never saw his arch, but his body was carried beneath it after being returned to Paris on order of the king in 1840.

On July 14, 1919, French troops marched

under the Arc de Triomphe to celebrate their victory in World War I. Three weeks later, a French pilot, offended that airmen had been required to parade on foot, famously flew his biplane through the 48-foot wide arch opening. In 1920, France’s Unknown Soldier was buried beneath the arch. On November 11, 1923, War Minister Andre Maginot lit an eternal flame near the tomb. Each evening at 6:30 p.m., veterans’ groups ceremonially rekindle the flame to remember the sacrifices of French war dead. The moving ceremony inspired Jacqueline Kennedy to place an eternal flame on President Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery.

Visitors can climb 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, where they can get a spectacular view of the Champs Elysees, considered by many to be the most beautiful street in the world.

Quick salad dressing — When you have an almost empty jam or jelly jar, add a quarter cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Cover and shake well, then add a half-cup of olive oil and shake again. You’ll have a nice vinaigrette to use on your salads.

Fresh scents – Place a few drops of essential oil on the cardboard tube inside your toilet paper roll before putting it on the holder. Each time someone unrolls paper, a light fragrance will be released.

Try a mix of clove and lemon for a clean aroma.
