City council issue: How to create jobs

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com As the number of millennials increases in Carmel, there’s a growing interest in making sure there are jobs available for the next generaelection tion choosing to make this city their home.

All candidates for the Carmel City Council were asked: “What is Carmel doing to increase jobs and how do you plan to help?”

Responses come from phone interviews and from comments at a forum of the League of Women Voters.

Central District Eric Seidensticker “The council is very supportive of the all the infrastructure improvements that have happened.

We also have maintained low taxes and that’s a concerted effort of many of us in the city.

Seidensticker All of our amenities help develop an area where businesses are interested in moving to. It’s a great place to bring your kids up and the schools have been tremendous. My wife is a Realtor and it’s location, location, location in Carmel and it’s a great location. We’re just north of a big city and just south of some very friendly cities as well.”

Bruce Kimball “As far as millennials, they make up about 50 percent of the working population. When I graduated from college, we followed the corporations to get our jobs. Today it’s just the inverse. Corporations follow the Kimball employees. Again that comes back to quality of life. Millennials today don’t want to walk out of their office and jump in the car and go to lunch. They are looking for a walkable, bicyclefriendly environment and we’ve done a fantastic job of that. The top CEOs will tell you that they follow the millennials.”

Southeast Luci Snyder “I have been a commercial real estate broker and I was on the original board that created the Hamilton County Alliance, now called Invest Indiana. We began to figure out how we market Snyder Hamilton County and we became so successful that each area had its own marketing effort to create new jobs. I think it’s incorrect to state that only the Carmel Redevelopment Commission attracts new jobs. What the city council has done and continues to do to attract new jobs is fund our efforts to go out and find companies. Because companies invest in communities that invest in themselves. And so that story must be told and we always approve the budget for the department of community relations. We understand even in down times, and maybe especially in down times, we don’t stop advertising. That’s how you get new customers. The millennials are everything that we’ve heard has been said and we are increasing our housing choices because we’ve learned that

they don’t particularly like to buy but when they like to rent they like to rent high-end apartments.”

Jeff Worrell “I think it is important to increase jobs. As a member of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, I think I’ve played a role in that in building the infrastructure that’s attracting new businesses and new corporations to Worrell our community. The more that I interact with people who are moving to Carmel, it is the millennials, the younger crowd and they require a reason to move here. Corporations are trying to attract employees and it’s important that we continue to build the infrastructure and create a community that’s positive that they want to come to. That also helps keep our personal property taxes low.”

Southwest Keith Griffin “The biggest thing is continuing to improve the infrastructure.

Carmel is a tremendous brand and we need to get improving our brand. We need to get out that our brand is phenomenal.

Griffin The quality of life is phenomenal.

But the heart of it is improving our infrastructure.”

Carol Schleif “There’s a lot of economic development that we promote.

Mostly that happens from the mayor’s office. The council does what we can and we try but it’s mostly an economic development thing through the mayor’s office Schleif which we get notices of.”

Northeast John Accetturo “Government doesn’t create jobs. Yes, we can create an environment that attracts businesses into our community. I think it has done a nice job on this. As a previous member of the city council, Accetturo I did vote on incentives for companies to move here because I think it’s important to be competitive with other cities. We can do a lot.

It’s also important that we bring all types of jobs to Carmel. People need jobs at the higher pay level, but we have a responsibility to people at the lower echelon to support them with other types of jobs.”

Sue Finkam “I agree that millennials, unlike previous generations, don’t move to jobs; they move to where they want to live and they can live anywhere because of the type of business environment we have with high-speed internet Finkam and outsourced jobs and homebased jobs. Millennials get to be picky and choosy about where they want to live. Lucky for us, they are choosing Carmel. They want arts. They want recreation. They want rental properties. They want social opportunities where they can co-work and

they want philanthropic opportunities where they can be a part of the community. It should be noted that 44 percent of all new job announcements in Hamilton County were in Carmel, so we’re doing a great job.”

Northwest Laura Campbell “I think Carmel is doing a good job of bringing businesses to the area and that’s something that they’re continuing to be focused on. I think continuing our amenities, like walking paths and the Campbell Carmel Arts & Design District, … help attract all age groups but especially millennials and I think the housing that’s going in near downtown is attractive to millennials because they don’t want to own cars or spend too much time in their cars. So I think if you have a community where people are able to walk or bike to get to most parts of the city, I think that’s a plus.”

At-Large Ron Carter “Frankly, there’s not a lot that a city council can do or does to in increasing the number of jobs that come to the community with the exception of working in cooperation with the mayor to make sure we get amenities that help Carter differentiate our community from other communities with which we compete for jobs. Carmel has done a great job putting together an entire package that does differentiate us from other communities, that does make sure we get the jobs we need in this community which helps keep our tax rates low and make sure we continue to prosper.”

Ron Houck “I think you’ve all heard about the many fine amenities in our community. It’s the same thing that draws us here that also draws corporations. I think we have tremendous potential in terms of the U.S. 31 corridor Houck and the marketing of that area can help bring in even more high-paying jobs that benefit our community. We need to continue to market ourselves from a local, regional and national perspective.”

Kevin “Woody” Rider “Quality of life. People will tell you the reason they moved to Carmel was schools and the next is the amenities that we have. You create an environment where businesses want to move here. A business moved here Rider from San Diego; who leaves the weather in San Diego? They did it because of quality of life. Their employees could afford to buy nice homes. Their taxes are extremely low. My motherin-law just moved to Carmel and she’s going to save five to six thousand dollars a year with the exact same overhead that she had in a city that I’m not going to mention.”

Shop Talk St. Baldricks event raises $54k Commentary by Jason Peek Well it was another successful St. Baldricks.

This event is the Indiana Youth Hockey Association head-shaving event at the Carmel Ice Skadium that raised over.....wait for it....$54,000 big ones!

Kids and families gathered around to watch these brave souls go bald for St. Bald..ricks. This year the electricity in the air was apparent. This is an event that we support every year and have a blast doing it with the younglings on and off the ice as they raise money from all angles to donate to the well-needed pediatric cancer research, that (if I’m correct) gets about less government funding than most.

Submitted photo

It’s a blessing to see these kids not only smiling and having fun with the crazy haircuts but learning how to sacrifice and go out of their comfort zone to help the less fortunate. You can see the pictures on the Main Street Barber Shop Facebook page with the five best barbers in Indiana on the profile picture and just look how happy and proud these kids are to have jumped in to help.

You would have thought there was a celebrity there the way the crowd gathered around the event. I love to write positive articles like this to give to you and I hope you not only enjoy but get involved with Saint Baldricks and help anyway you can. We do the event every year and hope to see you there next year!

For more information visit, facebook.com/ mainstreetcarmel or StBaldricks.org.

What others said couldn’t be done, we’re doing.

St.Vincent Heart Center is continuously pushing the limits of what’s possible in heart care. To do that takes an amazing amount of skill, study, experience and dedication. But it also takes passion. A passion to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from heart disease.

And a desire to look beyond the boundaries to find better ways.

Close to home. Second to none.

Siblings gear up for Bike & Build

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Sarah Swiezy finally had a sales pitch that worked on her younger brother.

“I got dragged in because she has tried to get me to go with her to fundraiser Honduras with her,” Jacob said. “She’s been twice to help with affordable housing. But I didn’t really feel comfortable with those trips. But when she found this trip, I thought it would be kind of cool.”

The two have committed to Bike & Build’s Costal Drift trip where they will take an 816mile bike trip in and out of towns spread from Bay Harbor, Maine to New York City. Along the way during the three-week trip which starts June 7, the riders will stop to help build affordable housing. There are five build days scheduled in Portland, Maine, Salem, Mass., Nantucket, Mass., and New Haven, Conn., and New York City.

There are 13 ride days and the rides will travel through seven states.

Sarah, a 2012 Carmel High School graduate and Washington University (in St. Louis) junior, learned about the trip in her college newspaper.

“I wanted to do something community service focused over the summer,” said Sarah, who majors in biology and wants to be a physician.

Jacob, a Carmel High School senior, has been accepted at both MIT and Purdue and hasn’t made his final decision yet.

“Neither of us are very serious bikers but we

thought it was a good way to spend time together before we are off in our own directions,” Jacob said. “She is passionate about affordable housing so it was a perfect fit.”

Jacob plans are to become an aeronautical engineer.

“For me it’s just a trip to have some fun and do something good while we are doing it,” he said.

They have to raise about $3,000 each for the trip.

Fundraiser supports free clinic

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Trinity 500 fundraiser is fast approaching. Fast is the operative word since the event has an Indy philanthropy 500 motif.

The purpose of the fundraiser is to raise funds for the Trinity Free Clinic pediatric patients next year.

The clinic, which serves all of Hamilton County, was established 15 years ago on the campus of Our Lady Ferchmin of Mount Carmel in Carmel.

The Trinity Free Clinic is not affiliated with OLMC but is a separate nonprofit.

“We are racing to provide for the children in our community,” said Dina Ferchmin, executive director for Trinity Free Clinic.

The Trinity 500 fundraiser will be held from 6:30 to 11 p.m. on April 24 at the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion, 12156 N. Meridian St., Carmel.

“We provide free medical and dental care for the low-income and uninsured residents of Hamilton County,” Ferchmin said. “It’s done with a staff of 500 active volunteers. We take care of about 4,000 patients a year and of those, 20 percent are children. We provide all their immunizations. We’re basically the urgent care for the low-income children of Ham-

ilton County. They come when they get sick.

Our average patient comes from a family of four and makes $17,000 a year. If you are making $17,000 and your child gets strep throat, you can spend $100 to go to the minute clinic or you can buy groceries for the week. That’s why we exist.”

Ferchmin shared a story of a Hamilton County high school student who broke his hand, but parents couldn’t afford a hand surgeon so Trinity Free Clinic stepped in to help when notified by a school nurse.

The ticket cost for the fundraiser is $75 before April 15 and $85 after that date. The night includes catered dining, drinks, silent auction and live music featuring The Company Band.

Major sponsors included Wallington Asset Management, Riverview Hospital, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Financial Partners Group. Tickets are available at trinityfreeclinic. org/the-trinity-500.

Sponsors include BMO Harris Bank, Carmel Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Century 21 Scheetz, Chris & Doug Lowery, Dr. & Mrs Thomas Ciulla, DWA and associates Healthcare Communications Group, Financial Partners Group, Leaf Software Solutions Inc., Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Mckesson Medical-Surgical, National Bank of Indianapolis, Riverview Hospital.

The Palladium brings ‘Voice’ day

By Anna Skinner • news@currentincarmel.com On April 16, The Center for the Performing Arts will be participating in World Voice Day. Anyone interested can come and sing Diversion karaoke on the Palladium stage with a live pianist. There will be solo and group opportunities for all.

The Voice Clinic of Indiana in Carmel will be sponsoring the event. Because of their sponsor, World Voice Day is free to the public. The Voice Clinic is the only center in the state to care for the voice, and everything related to voice health including swallowing, breathing, cancer and more.

“World Voice Day is an international celebration of the voice,” Emily Lovison, Director of Development at the Center for the Performing Arts, said. “It is an artistic vehicle of expression and we also focus on the mechanics of the voice.”

SEP Science of Sound was the official event that brought incorporating the performing arts with science, and in turn, brought World Voice Day to Carmel. Science of Sound is a program where third graders in Carmel schools learn about sound.

The Center has a wide variety of engagement activities involving the performing arts and the public, such as a book club, country line dancing lessons, and more.

“One of the strengths in our organization is the strength in our diversity,” Lovison said. “For

example we have a book club that reads books about the performing arts. We have lots of different ways to use the performing arts to engage people and welcome them, no matter what their interests are.”

The Center hopes that World Voice Day is a good time for the public, as well as brings light on some of the other engagement activities they offer. World Voice Day takes place during 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., and participants can feel free to show up whenever during that time period.

Part two: Energy Center

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Last week, part one of this energy center story ran. Here is a look at why the center was sold aand bought back.

The energy center was built using city money from The Center for the Performing Arts bonds, but that money was needed to finish building, so it needed to be repaid.

Instead of issuing another bond, it was decided that the energy center – then valued at $7.7 million – for $16.3 million and then bought back for the same price over 25 years with interest.

The city continued to operate the energy center through a limited liability company and it received “Energy Consumption Payments” from the buildings who receive services from the center, including city hall, The Palladium, the police headquarters, fire headquarters, the Booth Tarkington Theater and Office Building One, also known as the James Building. Total receipts from these buildings have totaled $1.6 million from 2011 to 2015.

Attorneys Jennifer Shoup and Ryan Wilmering who worked on the deal said it was a better move to sell the energy center because there would have been high costs involved with issuance fees if a bond was used.

City councilor Eric Seidensticker has been critical of the deal because he worries about how it adds to the city’s overall debt.

“When you look at the interest associated

with the debt, do you think that’s a good idea?” he asked. “It’s a very expensive way to accomplish a task.”

Brainard disagrees, saying it was the best move at the time.

“It’s not unique financing when you look at other cities around the country, but it’s relatively new to the Midwest,” he said. “The issuance costs are less than a bond issue so we save money there too.”

In addition, by financing the dealt his way, the energy center is paid for by the CRC, which can use tax increment financing instead of having the deal come through the city’s general budget.

City councilor Luci Snyder described the deal in 2011 as a “gift from the CRC.” The energy center deal was finalized before the 2012 debt refinance of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the new state law regarding all redevelopment commissions, which essentially put much of the CRC’s spending decisions under the microscope of the Carmel City Council. As a result, this transaction was completed before council approval was necessary.

“The redevelopment commission followed the existing state law at the time when this transaction was done,” Brainard said. “At that time, it did not call for city council approval.”

He also pointed out that at the time the city of Carmel got good feedback by those who understood the benefits to the city, such as Ball State University economist Michael Hicks.

Carmel Baby Show Back in the day - Horses were not the only living beings displayed during the annual Carmel Horse Show held from 1907 to 1916. The baby show also allowed proud parents to showcase their young sons and daughters. This photo shows a line-up of the participants in 1910. Even though many oohs and aahs were shared for the babies, the hundreds of people descending on Carmel came for the equine competitions.

At the time, many of the farms surrounding Carmel raised horses. The multi-day event, usually held in late fall, presented a variety of activities, including foot races for men and women across the downtown streets. From early morning until late in the evening, “streets were thronged,” according to one newspaper account. One writer wrote that the Carmel Horse Show was reminiscent of the old county fair, “the event of the year” for local residents. (Submitted photo)

Carmel illustrator enjoyed latest book creation

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

For Jennifer Zivoin, her most recent illustration work was a true labor of love.

The Carmel resident is pleased books with the freedom she had it doing her illustration work on “All My Stripes,” a story for children with autism. The book is written by Shaina Rudolph and Danielle Royer. Zivoin will have a book signing at the Barnes & Noble, 14790 Greyhound Pass, at 2 p.m on April 19.

The book is about Zane the Zebra, who has autism and is upset because he has trouble fitting in.

Zivoin “He feels frustrated but his differences from the other children,” Zivoin said.

“He feels all people ever see is the autistic stripe in the middle of his forehead (red because it’s the color of autism awareness). His mother helps him recognize that autism is just one of his qualities.

He has lot of stripes that make him who he is, that makes him special, valuable and successful.”

“I appreciate they let me loose with it,” she said.

“I gave each zebra their own design in their stripes which has something to do with personality or interest. So with Zane, all of his stripes are geomet-

ric and grouped in prime numbers so if there was a child who is gifted in mathematics the way the character is they might pick up on that.”

Zivoin, a 1999 Carmel High School graduate, has been illustrating professionally since 2005 and working full-time at it since 2008. Zivoin and her husband Romeo have two daughters; 4-yearold Olivia and 5-month-old Elyse. Zivoin graduated from Indiana University.

Purdue student wins MTNA prize

By Jay Harvey • news@currentincarmel.com Thinking up a story helped Julie Puckett get over a bout of musical writer’s block — and led to the 18-year-old Carmel achievement composer’s victory in a national association’s composition contest last month.

“This piece kind of started over a year ago,” said the musician, now a freshman engineering major at Purdue University. “I had the main theme figured out, but I wasn’t able to figure out the rest of it at first.”

When she finally succeeded, the result was “In Future Space,” a seven-minute work for solo piano that won first prize in this year’s senior composition competition of the Music Teachers National Association.

And what broke the compositional logjam? “I decided that what I had felt like the beginning of an adventure, a saga. What I picture in my head is an action TV hero who is going to save the world.”

With that scenario in mind, Puckett was able to complete the work, which she will present in a recital March 23 at the MTNA’s annual conference in Las Vegas. The senior division that Puckett won is open to composers 15 to 18 years old.

Towin top honors, a composition must first pass through state and divisional levels before topping the field at the national level.

Continuing to describe the hidden scenario

that helped her finish “In Future Space,” Puckett said: “The middle of the piece calms down a bit when the hero reaches the planet and finds out he can solve the problems there. Then the piece gets into some active rhythmic patterns, and there’s a dramatic ending: He’s solved the problems for this planet.”

Pucket has played piano for about 10 years.

She moved to Carmel with her parents, Thomas and Alyce, in seventh grade.

Bike sharing program launches

Carmel’s new bike sharing program has now started. City officials announced the official launch on April 14 for its partnership with the company Zagster.

How does it work?

For the initial launch, there will be two stations: Carmel City Center near the Monon and Main Street near the Monon. In total, there will be 16 bikes and 16 adult tricycles available to rent for $3 an hour and $24 for 24 hours. Customers can pay monthly or annual fees for different rates.

You can only keep the bike out for 24 hours and after that there’s a late fee. David Littlejohn, alternative transportation coordinator for the city, said if a user fails to return a bike, then Zagster can contact them because everyone has to use a credit card to use the service.

What does it cost the city?

Although Zagster is a private company, the city of Carmel still receives 93 percent of the revenue from this service. Instead of creating its own technology and system, the city entered into an agreement with the company to pay $1,320 per year per bike, along with a one-time set-up fee of $8,600.

Litteljohn said the overall initial contract with the Board of Public Works totaled at around $30,000. The annual cost of the bikes is around $110 each a month.

McShane house renovated, on display at Spring Tea

By Devynn Barnes• news@currentincarmel.com Saved from the ominous fate of a wrecking ball, the McShane House in Carmel is one of the city’s most prized back in the day historic possessions.

The house is believed to be the first one ever built in Carmel in the early 1800s, and it has undoubtedly been through a lot since. Since it was saved from disrepair by the Carmel Clay Historical Society, the Carmel Historic Preservations Commission, and Indiana Landmarks, the house has taken on new life.

Emily and Paul Ehrghott recently bought and restored the house, making it shine as a historical landmark in Carmel as well as their family home. On April 16, the public is invited to attend a Spring Tea hosted by the Historical Society.

Whitney Dennis, Executive Director of the CCHS, says the event will be full of interesting stories and details about the life of the house.

“It had fallen into disrepair,” Dennis said. “It was an eyesore and the structure wasn’t safe, but the historic value seemed to override that, and people were interested in keeping it because of its place in the community.”

Emily Ehrgott, who will be speaking about what it took to renovate the disheveled house, took on the project with her husband Paul and

turned the McShane house into a home.

“The renovation still maintained all of the home’s historical integrity. The whole renovation process was interesting for the community to watch,” Dennis said.

The Spring Tea for the McShane House will begin at 2 p.m. at Woodland Country Club in Carmel. Hilda Hadley, longtime Carmel resident and member of the CCHS, will be honored with the Heritage Award at the event. Tickets are $30 must be reserved prior to attending, either by phone or email.

Jesse Davis has taken first place every year at the Carmel Marathon weekend. Can he do it again?

Jesse's race results: Carmel Marathon 2014: First Place 2:21:46 Carmel Marathon 2013: First Place 2:21:49

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com No headphones and no music. Nobody in sight. Just the sound of feet hitting the pavement.

Jesse Davis, a 33-year-old marathon champion, cover story speaks mantras in his head as he runs past the 20-mile marker. It’s hitting him at this point, but he breaks the goal down. Don’t think of the entire 6.2 miles left. Think of it one mile at a time. If that’s too far, think even smaller, take it one segment at a time.

“You just have to push through,” he said. “Even if you tell yourself, ‘I have to make it to that sign’ and then after that you say, ‘I have to make it to that car.’ Because everybody is going to be hurting by the end of that race. If you aren’t hurting, then you didn’t push yourself hard enough.”

After each mile, Davis looks at his GPS tracker and figures his pace. He thinks of it like a golf score. “I’m plus one right now. I’m minus two right now,” he might say in his head.

For the Carmel Marathon, Davis hasn’t had to worry too much. In 2014, the next finisher was almost a half hour after Davis. He usually runs out front which is why he won the past three Carmel Marathon races. In 2011, the inaugural year of the race weekend, Davis entered the half marathon instead of the full, but he finished in first place then too.

“I’ve been fortunate that I’ve won pretty comfortably,” he said. “But I know I can’t win every time.”

His recent goal is to qualify for the Olympics, but he fell short by just seconds recently. There was some question about whether he’d have time to get ready, but he said he feels he has to defend his title.

“Every race my goal is to beat everyone that I am faster than, and to also beat some people that are faster than me because I raced smarter,” he said.

And when he talks about “racing smarter” it often deals with competitive runners who want to sprint out of the gate. He often has to make a decision if that runner will run out of gas or whether he needs to keep up.

“Sometimes I’ve been roped into going out faster than I wanted to and then it turns into a cat and mouse game of who’s going to let up first?” he said. “Those are hard races.”

He trains with a coach, Matt Ebersole, somewhere between 30 to 40 hours a week. Some days are training days and he runs 20 miles at a fast pace and other days are recovery days where he just runs 10 miles to keep his muscles moving. He said there’s nothing special for his training.

It’s just committing to a schedule.

“It’s just a matter of putting in the work and the time,” he said. “I think anybody can do it if they are physically capable if they just put in the time.”

Todd Oliver, director and founder of the Carmel Marathon, said Davis is an impressive runner.

“When you talk about the elite guys like Jesse, they are just built different than you or I,” he said. “It’s really cool that our race has attracted so many runners, including elite runners like Jesse and also people who might be running their first marathon ever.”

Davis is hoping for a fifth victory, but even if he falls short he won’t be disappointed. He understands that as the race grows in popularity every year it’s only going to get tougher and tougher.

“It’s not always about winning,” he said. “It’s about running your best and sometimes other people can push you to run faster.”

Davis' marathon tips:

1. Give yourself six to eight weeks minimum to get ready 2. You might have worn your shoes out during training, so if possible buy a new pair a week or two before the race (make sure you break them in).

3. Be sure to bring some sort of fitness gel or chew to give you energy once you’ve exhausted your body’s reserves.

This is a must for longer races.

4. Don’t do anything too far out of your normal routine right before the race. Some people might get nervous right before and then decide to get a massage or run extra, but he said it’s important to stick to the routine.

You just have to push through.

Carmel Marathon shadow run organized to support military

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com There are a lot of reasons that someone might have to miss the Carmel Marathon on April 18, but fortunately military deployment isn’t one of them.

Troops in Kuwait can participate in the Carmel Marathon Military Shadow Run that same day. As of the end of March, there were 41 people registered for the event.

Traditionally, a “shadow run” is a way for deployed troops to participate even if they are in a country by running that distance course where they are. A half marathon and 8K will be available.

Lt. Preston Ray, who participates in a group called the Kuwait Running Mafia, said he’s from Carmel and was very grateful for the chance to

“Having run the half before and being from Carmel it makes me feel good to see how my community back home is still supporting the troops,” he said. “I signed up as soon as I heard and challenged friends and family back home to race as well. We had a PT test that day and rescheduled so more guys from our unit could race. I am glad I don’t have to miss the race again due to my Military Commitment.”

Carmel High School junior Ally Russell and sophomore Ethan McAndrews don’t consider themselves as having a leadership great deal of artistic ability.

However, they do feel they have an eye for art. The two were selected for the Carmel Arts Council’s Emerging Curator Program. The students will serve as curators for the CAC’s Summer Art Show, which will begin in July at the CAC’s Children’s Arts Gallery. They will review their high school’s Cyber Art Show which will debut in mid-May. They will decide on a theme and title for their show. After that they will determine which pieces best represent that theme. The two students will be mentored by Harriet Warkel, a CAC member and Indianapolis Museum of Art curator.

Russell and McAndrews were selected from a group of seven candidates.

“I’ve always expressed an interest in looking at art,” McAndrews said. “Going to museums a lot, I always thought I wanted to be a curator and something involved in the art world. This is perfect position to see what goes into that job.

I think this will help me see if it’s something I want to do in the future.”

McAndrews said he is not a good artist, but likes to sketch.

“I’m more of admirer of art like Ethan, I don’t even sketch,” Russell said. “I think this is a way

From left: Ethan McAndrews, Harriet Warkel and Ally Russell. (Submitted photo)

I can be involved in art without having any specific art talent.”

Russell said she applied because she also has an interest in the career of curating.

“I think the kids at Carmel High School do such great work and their work needs to be showcased in a professional way,” Russell said. “I’m interested in educating the public on the work they do. It’s really incredible.”

Being supervised by Warkel is another bonus, Russell said.

“This is a great opportunity for me to pass along my education to them and to get a good education on being a curator,” Warkel said. “I want them to be curators but I want them to get experience before they get their PH.D.” The Emerging Curator Program started last year with 2014 Carmel High School graduates Ariana Nunes and Leo Biette serving as the summer art show curators.

Choosing a Preschool That Will Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten When I was a child, getting ready for kindergarten meant getting new school supplies including that all too familiar paste. Fast forward thirty plus years and we find a much different landscape for parents trying to navigate preschool choices.

As a mother who sent her first child off to kindergarten last fall, I know what it means to be faced with the daunting task of choosing a preschool that will prepare your child for kindergarten while still letting you cherish the moment.

Think picking a preschool is a daunting task like I did? Getting out and speaking to parents and other teachers is a great first step. I personally recommend that you attend the Community Social being held on Tuesday April 21st, from 6-7pm at the Westfield KinderCare.

You’ll get a chance to speak to teachers one on one about how pre-school lays the foundation for kindergarten. Learn about early literacy and STEM while your child has a blast working on a fun arts and crafts project. Call the Westfield KinderCare at 317-569-5150 for more information.

Hope to see you there!

Jenny Thomas participates in the Healthy Kids Give Back food campaign.

Girl Scout troops 215 and 484 (both from Smoky Row Elementary) partnered with Peapod through their Healthy Kids Give Back campaign. Peapod supplied materials and activities for the girls to learn about healthy eating and being active. After completing the curriculum, each troop received a gift card for $200 to place an online order. A total of $400 was donated by Peapod. The food was delivered to the food pantry at Carmel United Methodist Church on March 31. The girls unloaded the groceries and carried them inside. They unpacked the food onto the shelves and then learned about how the food pantry operates.

The girls chose to donate gallons of milk, dozens of eggs, bread and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

These are healthy items that are not usually donated through food drives and are very much appreciated.

Caffeine catastrophe

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P The name game: Hillary or Clinton?

With one day remaining before the annual fleecing by the IRS, it’s interesting to us that among the burning topics late last week was this: Hillary Rodham Clinton, who we and the rest of the free world believe will declare for the Democratic presidential race, is being defended by women that consider it sexist to refer to her by her first name. “I think it generally cheapens the image of the candidate,” one wag said last week. Yeah, it’s right up there with Benghazi and personal e-mail accounts.

We’re not certain how Clinton prefers to be addressed, but we will defer to the journalistic style of our times and use her full name on first reference, last name on subsequent mentions. This ranks right up there with defending our borders, shrinking government and dialing back spending. It’s interesting to us that Clinton’s team has mobilized a Ready for Hillary super-PAC effort. It’s not too sexist, we suppose, to ask for campaign donations for a firstname-candidate. We further suppose being referred to by her first name beats the tar out of how her husband, former president William Jefferson Clinton, was called Slick Willie. Still, it would be along the same lines of references to Teddy (Theodore Roosevelt), Silent Cal (Calvin Coolidge), Ike (Dwight Eisenhower) and Ronnie (Ronald Reagan). In our view, it is not sexist and this is much ado about absolutely nothing.

Still, as we await word from on high as to how we’re expected to address Clinton, we offer these suggestions: former senator, former secretary of state, Bill’s wife, high priestess, her majesty and/or her royal highness (even though the latter two are reserved for a monarchy, which, come to think of it … ).“Part of the rap about (Clinton) has been she’s not accessible and she’s not warm or friendly. This makes her a real person,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “(Hillary) has become part of the vernacular.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Armchair sports

Commentary by Terry Anker

Defined as possessing a state of mind including irrational, thoughtless, and negative assessment of people, ideas, or beliefs while clinging to one’s flawed self-perception, bigots love politics.

Unquestionably, one could point to grenade throwers on both sides of the recent religious freedom debate. Moralizing has long been an American armchair sport.

As discussed and widely expected, the issue seems to have landed in an indecipherable draw with both sides arguing victory while still demanding further “protection.” Were it a lesson to those legislators who would use their power to govern as a tool to force the subjugation of their, well, subjects, we could move on. Unfortunately, it’s added more legislation to more legislation to more legislation. One wonders the good of it.

Leaders of countless institutions use broadbrush shaming to demand their own point-ofview. And, it seems to work. Perhaps we could apply the tactic to the on-going executions of “non-Muslims” by “non-Christians” in Africa?

Maybe a super-cool company like Sales Force

could lead the way. Or, maybe Apple, which has more employees in countries that execute homosexuals than it does Indiana, could send out a Tweet. Let’s punish all “non-Christians” until they force the capitulation of other “non-Christians” – we can host a bacchanal of self-congratulatory, preening, and likewise erudite editorials cast from the highest reaches of our “right” minded elite.

Let’s boycott Africa. It must be a continent of racists! Does New York do business there?

One wonders when they will provide the moral beacon to withdraw from Africa with indignation.

Will Gov. Andrew Cuomo voice the necessary reference point? What will we do until the press conference is called? Let’s stand by with CNN on live feed learning that Bruce Jenner is sad that his ex-wife’s daughter is sharing his clothes. Life is complex. Shouldn’t we be slow to judge?

-Nelson Mandela

I’m sitting in Starbucks, trying to finish my column on my latest dental disaster, but I am so distracted by the conversations next to me that I’ve decided to hold the torture experience until next week in favor of expressing my opinions on people in coffee shops.

First off, why am I here? Admittedly, I normally pen my articles during down times at school, stolen moments in the morning, or waiting at Tae Kwon Do. But I’m currently on Spring Break, and because my kids are in a different school system, it’s just been the dog and I. This is not a good thing. She’s so excited to have a playmate she literally cannot leave me alone. As soon as I even start to open my laptop or head in the general direction of the office, she grabs her tennis ball and comes barreling at me. “Play with me!” her big, brown, puppy eyes beg. If I ignore her, the barking and jumping begin, quite aggressively I might add, until I have no choice but to head outside and throw the stupid toy. So much for a relaxing vacation! My solution is simply to leave the house. Over the last few days I’ve spent quality hours at Wal-Mart, Jiffy Lube, Meijer, my classroom, Goodwill, Thai Orchid, the orthodontist, and now, Starbucks.

When I first arrived, the place was fairly empty - a few professionals having lunch and a couple of retirees hanging out. I needed to charge my computer, so I chose a table in between two ladies. Five minutes after I’d plugged in, three women joined the one to my left. They range in age from mid-20s to probably 50, and now all I can currently do is listen, flinch and type.

Holy mackerel! I want to interrupt and remind them that they are in a public place!

With no discretion whatsoever, they are speaking quiet emphatically and specifically about their crappy boss, a coworker who is ruining her life with a deadbeat boyfriend, their awful clients, and every bad parenting decision their friends have made in the last three years. They are being caddy and judgmental and self-righteous, and honestly, I’m having difficulty suppressing a strong urge to punch somebody. Since I can’t physically harm them without risking incarceration, I’m writing about them here. Call it therapy!

And now I’m just mad. I came here to get away from the crazy, and I’m seated next to a big bowl of it. So let this serve as a kindly reminder that airing your grievances is fine, and even on occasion, healthy, but doing so in a popular coffee shop may end you up in the local paper. Peace out.

Book for seniors or dummies?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I didn’t see the point of owning another electronic gadget, especially since I am still unskilled in the smart phone and computer humor I already have. Then I saw iPad For Seniors, For Dummies. I already have two Dummies books, Living Vegan for Dummies and Backyard BBQ for Dummies. (I go through phases.) Years ago, I wanted to learn how to throw my voice but was disappointed when there was no Ventriloquism for Dummies available.

The author, Nancy Muir, has written 100 articles on technology. I assume she is about 11 years old, because no one my age could know that much about computers.

The book is for people who have no experience with tablets. I bought it, even though I take several tablets every morning. It’s geared toward “mature people,” but if you are north of 50, you’ll have to resist having a tantrum after the first three pages.

The introduction includes: “With your new iPad, learn how to have fun, explore the online world, and look at naughty videos.” It doesn’t really say

that last part, but it could entice seniors to the Apple Store. In “How to Choose the Right iPad for You,” we learn that “the new ones are getting lighter and thinner—great for the older population.” This sounds like ad copy for Depends.

The section “How Much Memory Do You Need?” is also the name of a brochure available at my geriatrician’s office. Should you purchase an iPad with only Wi-Fi, or invest in 3G? The author asks: “Do you want to use it only at home or do you want to walk around with it?” The 3G version would be perfect for my uncle Leo, who occasionally disappears at night and wanders off into the forest.

I had trouble understanding most of the book, which made me feel dumb. That’s when I decided it was time to buy another one of their actual top-sellers in the series: Self-Esteem for Dummies.

Correcting the record Commentary by Bill Hammer, CRC President I am not one who enjoys the constant tit-fortat that one sees on Twitter or some online message boards. But in this era of misincity formation and politics, I feel compelled to respond to Bob Wallace, who replied to my column in Current in Carmel with a letter to the editor published in the March 31 edition.

Unfortunately his letter is full of information that is incorrect or distorted that I am compelled to correct the record. It is troubling when doubt is cast without supporting facts on the economic development of our city. The City of Carmel and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission have worked hard for more than a decade to create a world-class city; Carmel has been recognized as one of the best in the country.

MISEADING: Mr. Wallace said - in 2014 "...Their [CRC's] own report CLEARLY states TIF expenses EXCEEDED TIF revenues by $5 million..."

TRUTH: This is a misinterpretation that expenses exceed revenues caused by mixing two years together. In 2014 TIF revenues exceeded TIF debt service by $2.697 million (revenue = $20.136 with debt service = $17.439 million). An additional $5.11 million in debt service was paid in 2014 for debt service attributed to 2013 (though actually due in mid- January 2014) with 2013 TIF revenue. There was no shortfall in 2014.

INCORRECT: Mr. Wallace said - For 2015, TIF debt service will exceed TIF revenues by $80,000.

TRUTH: Once again, Mr. Wallace misread the 2015 budget document. CRC projections for 2015 show that estimated TIF revenues of $19.958 million will exceed TIF debt service of $18.112 million

by $1.928 million. The CRC will also deposit $1.928 million from the Parkwood TIF into reserves, and estimates that there will be $5.754 million in total reserves by the end of 2015.

MISLEADING: Mr. Wallace said that - "...State law says that these two types of funds [TIF and non-TIF] are not to be mixed..."

TRUTH: Mr. Wallace has made too broad an interpretation to one provision of the State law.

While TIF funds cannot be used for operating costs under State law, TIF funds and non-TIF funds can both be used for debt service.

INCORRECT: Mr. Wallace said that - the CRC will have $1 billion in total debt.

TRUTH: The CRC has debt of about $290.386 million. New businesses are paying for the TIF debt, and the burden does not fall on residential taxpayers. The $1 billion number is an exaggeration. If you include all debt, the actual amount borrowed for improvements to our city is $550 million. The city’s debt is manageable and was included in Standard & Poor’s analysis of the city when it raised Carmel to an AA+ credit rating.

INCORRECT: Mr. Wallace said - "... CRC debt ends up taking taxes from schools..."

TRUTH: Mr. Wallace is incorrect because the state school funding formula takes that into account the TIF dollars, and replaces those revenues for the schools.

A few facts are in order

Commentary by Diana Cordray

I would appreciate the opportunity to respond to the city council candidate who made negative comments about the office of the city clerk-treasurer. Of course, all are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts, especially with regard to the aspersions cast about the performance of my staff and myself. A few facts are in order: First, there was a comment about professionalism in my office with the implication being that somehow a mayor appointment of the mayor’ choice is professionally superior to the job which my staff and I are doing. We simply respond by noting that my office has won the awards for Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting on nine separate occasions.

These awards provide third party acknowledge of the indisputable integrity of our work.

It is also an advantage to the taxpayers of Carmel. It seems ironic that two incumbent councilors would place a high priority on using their positions to eliminate an independent financial voice from the public conversation, as opposed to performing the vast array of other tasks that comprise the council’s responsibility.

Second, the article included aspersions cast regarding our transparency. They fail to acknowledge the fact that our office has implemented a web accessible Laser Fiche portal that allows the public continuous access to literally tens of thousands of city documents dating back to the

19th century. Implementation of Laser Fiche represented an indisputable commitment to public transparency of my office in the year 2000. In contrast, I respectfully note that a number of documents were requested by members of the public from an incumbent city council in 2014, and according to those citizens, those documents have yet to be made transparent.

Third, I also wish to point out that our audits by the State Board of Accounts have consistently shown that my staff and I have professionally maintained the city’s financial records in accordance with the State Board of Accounts requirements, further indicating the professionalism of my staff.

Politics is a necessary part of democracy. I deeply regret, however, the mean-spirited snarking that comes from incumbent councilors. I can definitely say that Carmel’s financial policies are among the most complicated in Indiana, and still my staff and I perform transparently and professionally.

My office works for the wonderful and competent taxpayers who live in Carmel. I would like to continue our roll, providing them transparency and honesty.

READER ’ S V I E W Librarians serve in modern days Editor, In today’s information-rich world, knowledge is literally at our fingertips. With a few keystrokes into a smartphone or computer, we’re inundated with Google results – ideas, opinions, and socalled “facts.” Author Neil Gaiman once said, “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.”

Librarians are trained to listen to users’ needs and to connect them with specific information, resources or services. Librarianship is about human interaction and that can mean at the reference desk, through one-on-one instruction, storytelling or teaching a computer session. Librarians and staff are key players in helping the community integrate technology into their lives.

Librarians help people with the e-book readers, show them how to navigate online job applications and government forms, teach students how to create videos and use multimedia, teach grandparents how to Skype with faraway family, assist people with handheld devices, access digital content, perform genealogy research yet still place emphasis on developing young readers.

Librarians and staff are digitizing collections and preserving local and family histories. They answer questions via chat reference services;

they use social media to connect with their communities and teach others to use social media.

Librarians help people find resources for relaxation while helping others gain information to deal with shifts in the workplace and the economy. Meanwhile, people still count on librarians for suggestions on great reads or the latest books.

R. David Lankes in The Atlas of New Librarianship says that the mission of today’s librarians is to “improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities.” He describes a new librarianship based on knowledge, learning and conversation.

Re-engage at your library today! Librarians and staff are serving thousands of Hoosiers in schools, public libraries, colleges, universities, and special libraries. And they also look outside of their buildings to identify community experts for programming needs as they seek to enrich and restore conversations in their communities.

In 2013 there were just under 37 million visits to Indiana’s public libraries. Public and school library directors have shown tremendous resourcefulness in serving their communities on tighter and tighter budgets.

Club Morocco opens May 1

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com The music of the American Songbook swing era will take center stage when the Carmel Community Players present Club Morocco May 1 through 17.

“The music of The Great American SongPerformance book is timeless and is one of the most important eras of musical development in American history,” said director, Ashton Wolf. “It speaks to people of all ages and lives in the hearts of millions of Americans, young and the young at heart.

The music and artist of the swing era have been influencing generations of musical artists and can even now be heard by the likes of Lady Gaga teaming up with Tony Bennet to deliver some of her best performances yet.”

A cast of 14 singers and dancers from all over the greater Indianapolis area, as well Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers will bring the show to life.

The talent that auditioned for this show was amazing. We were able to pull together a dream-team production staff and in addition, we’ve been fortunate to acquire excellent musicianship,” Wolf said.

In addition, the show will feature a seven piece band playing songs by the likes of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Louis Prima.

“The Music of the swing era was about big bands with lots of horns and great swing arrangements,” Wolf said. “We have stayed true to the arranging style of the time and wanted as many band members as possible to create the big band sound. If you’re going to play swing, you have to have real musicians.”

The play opens with actual live film-noir style footage and will “explode into a rainbow of colors on the first downbeat of the music.”

“We are turning the entire theatre into the Club Morocco, with tables available for some of our patrons. And, we will invite the

audience to dance if they wish,” Wolf said. “You won’t feel like you are in a theatre, you’ll feel like you are at the Club Morocco, a swanky Hollywood-esque style nightclub akin to those that existed during the heyday of the swing era; Ciro’s, Slapsy Maxie’s, the Trocadero et al.”

Wolf said the show isn’t just a play – but an experience.

“It’s a high-flying swing-music musical with gangsters and gumshoes, songbirds and hoofers; where the swing is red-hot, the beauty dangerous and the luck as fleeting as the love,” Wolf said. “You’ll come for the mood and the mystery; you’ll stay for the swing because at Club Morocco – ‘Once you’ve had the taste you never lose the hunger.’”

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m.

Sundays. Tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for seniors (62+) and students. They are available online at www.carmelplayers.org or by calling 815-9387.

Bringing historic figures to life

In Partnership with the Carmel Clay Historical Society

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Theater Company might not own a time machine, but its series of one man shows this spring might be the performance next best thing.

You have the chance to meet Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Thomas Jefferson, James Whitcomb Riley and Marquis de Lafayette.

And it’s all at the intimate Studio 15 theatre located in the Carmel Arts & Design District across from Woody’s Library Restaurant. Shows begin on Sunday April 19 and will last until May 9 with each show featuring two 45-minute one-man shows from a historic icon.

Admission is $15 for each show, but only $13 for children and senior citizens. Call the CTC Box Office at 688-8876 for tickets.

Danny Russel, who plays Lincoln and Riley, said extensive historic research went into each portrayal. Personally, Russel has spent more than three years researching both roles, which he has played before at other events. He’s a lifetime member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters and he said it’s a passion that goes back to his childhood.

“My love of history goes back to my mother who was a school teacher,” he said.

Just like Daniel Day Lewis, Russel doesn’t use the deep booming voice for Lincoln but opts for the more historically accurate voice: slightly

nasal with a Kentucky twang. Russel said he’s proud to portray both these great Hoosiers.

“Both are very human and wickedly funny and they both represent the best of America,” he said. “They come from tough backgrounds and they achieved great things. The best of America and they are best Hoosiers.”

Russel has been a professional actor for 30 years and is a two-time grant recipient honored by the Indiana Arts Commission for his theatrical work.

Hank Fincken, who is playing inventor Thomas Edison, has spent years portraying historical figures such as Johnny Appleseed and Christopher Columbus. The Indiana Arts Commission named him a “Master Artist” and the Indiana Theatre Association gave him the “Teaching and Service Award.”

CALL FOR A FREE MARKET ANALYSIS! NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT YOUR HOME ON THE MARKET!

TOP CARMEL AGENT! Owner of Joe’s Butcher Shop, Joe Lazzara. (Submitted photo)

Butcher shop starts delivering

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Joe’s Butcher Shop is now offering more ways for customers to get their meat.

The locally owned merchant is now offering a delivery service for homes bounded by 96th Street, 146th Street, Michigan growth Road and River Road to start.

Customers can call 846-8877 and place their orders by 2 p.m. before a delivery day.

Delivery times will be 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday to start. Cost should be $7.50 to start.

Owner Joe Lazzara said he hopes delivery will be convenient for customers who are unable to drive to the shop. Call-ahead curbside delivery has already been an option for some time. “Service has always been our hallmark and this is just another way to extend our service platform out to the public and lack of convenience has been always been not to visit and we wanted to remove that barrier for our customers,� he said.

The delivery van has been upgraded with refrigeration, shelving and tracking software.

Customers are asked to leave a cooler on their front step if they aren’t home, but if they forget to leave one, then Joe’s will leave a disposable

cooler with ice packs for a small charge to keep the delivery fresh while it sits on your porch.

As soon as he announced the delivery service, Lazzara was bombarded with responses from eager customers who wanted to place orders outside of the delivery boundaries. He said they will explore expanding the service over time if they can keep the delivery price reasonable. But his biggest concern is to do it right. “It doesn’t mean we won’t expand that over time,� he said. “We wanted to make sure we could deliver one hundred percent of our commitment to our customers. We hope as we grow and the service catches on, we’ll be able to serve everyone.�

In the future, there might be a smartphone app where customers can place their orders easily. Lazzara said the problem that they always run into is that they are a custom-cut butcher shop so orders can be more complicated than just asking for ten steaks. Customers can request specific cuts, specific packaging, etc. So the app they’re developing might need to include all of the custom modifiers. “At least with a restaurant, they can order off a menu,� he said. “My possibilities are endless. I can sell a steak a hundred different ways.�

Self-employed entrepreneurs put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into building their businesses from the ground finance up. Because of this, they usually re-invest their profits back into their businesses to help it grow. This can be a double-edged sword for self-employed professionals if they’re not careful. As we all know, life can pass us by in the wink of an eye. It just seems like yesterday we were reading headlines about worldwide computer systems crashing on Jan. 1, 2000. Boom, here we are 15 years later where 5-inch “smart” devices run seemingly everything in our daily lives.

If you’re self-employed, you need to ask yourself today, “Am I doing enough to save for my future in the event I can’t sell my business or it fails?” I realize that is counterintuitive to how you think, but in reality, it is one of the most important questions you will ask yourself in

your lifetime. It is undoubtedly important to put money back into you business; but it is equally important to pay your future self too.

You need to make a proactive decision to do this so that one day when you’re worn down from beating on doors, servicing clients, collecting receivables, updating your website, paying bills, creating the next marketing plan, or any of the other several hats you wear, you will have the means to take care of yourself.

How do you do this? Simple. Establish a SEP IRA or Owner Only 401(k) plan. For a SEP IRA, you have the ability to put up to 25 percent of your annual earned income into a tax-deferred account that will be put aside for your future.

Barrington of Carmel residents move to the beat of Zumba Gold

LOSE WEIGHT AND GET YOUR LIFE BACK. TAKE THE 40 DAY CHALLENGE.

Lose 20-40 lbs in 40 days.

GUARANTEED!

By Michelle Williams • news@currentincarmel.com Nancy Zellers is a local police officer in Carmel with a heart of gold and the certification to teach Zumba Gold. Her passion seniors for moving to the beat led her to begin teaching a class at a local retirement community, The Barrington of Carmel.

Zellers attended a job fair at The Barrington and presented the interviewer with the idea of teaching a Zumba Gold class to residents. The Barrington brought Zellers on board, and the class has been a popular hit with residents ever since. The class attracts 18-20 residents every Saturday at 10:30 a.m.

Zumba Gold is a modified version of the popular fitness craze that involves dancing to upbeat music. The Gold version is modified for lower intensity with less jumping for a reduced impact on the knees and simplified, easy-to-follow choreography.

The program is focused on balance, range of motion and coordination with cardiovascular elements and muscular conditioning. Many residents have described improved cardiovascular capacity and increased self-confidence as a result of the program.

Residents at The Barrington are enthusiastic about participating in the class, and about spending time with Zellers. One resident named Claire Campbell explained that Zellers goes above

and beyond to show care and respect for the residents. Zellers reportedly produces a newsletter for the class, brings flowers on occasion and even takes prayer requests. “She’s a darling girl.

She cares so much,” says Campbell.

Campbell described Zellers as being “everything you would want in an instructor.” Zellers constantly gives praise and encouragement to the residents. When someone is out of step, Campbell says her response is, “It’s not a mistake, it’s a solo.”

Zellers says she plans to begin teaching more Zumba Gold classes in the future. She has already been approached by fellow police officers about starting a class for city employees.

Starting in 1999, the gala, the foundation's largest fundraiser has earned more than $550,000 in donations.

The foundation, founded in 1983, supports the hospital in Lebanon and the Boone County health system, Preston said. The foundation provides money for training and equipment to further the goals of the system.

Last year, some of our donations went to our extended care unit," Preston said. "In the past, we've helped purchase a new MRI, our new hyperbaric oxygen chamber. We also do education loans for people in the community and our employees."

Like many other nonprofits, the Witham Health Services Foundation has a golf outing annually, but it also raises funds with a polo match each year at the Hickory Hall Polo Club in Whitestown, as well as the gala.

Of course, there are business sponsorships available from a table sponsor for $1,200 up to a Diamond Sponsor for $10,000 or more.

For more information, contact Preston at Witham Health Services Foundation by phone at (765) 485-8112 or visit www.witham.org.

Coming to a newspaper near you Commentary by Jordan Fischer The Associated Press released last month the list of changes and new entries for the 2015 edition of its stylebook. grammar guy As the default style guide newspaper, magazine and TV writers adhere to the in U.S., there’s a high probability you’ll be seeing some of these changes soon.

Here are some of the more noteworthy updates: 1. BLT is now acceptable on first reference for a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

Which AP senior editor has been sticking to his guns on this – and how long does it take him to order lunch?

2. The stylebook finally has an entry for “meme.” YTMND launched in 2001, guys.

With this and the BLT thing … you’re not exactly on the bleeding edge of the culture.

3. You’ll be seeing “animal welfare activist” instead of “animal rights activist” from now on.

4. Kathmandu will now be spelled Kathmandu instead of, you know, however else we were spelling it.

5. This one I really like: There is now an entry chiding sportswriters for all the terrible clichés they use. I’m just going to excerpt it in its entirety: “A team losing a game is not a ‘disaster.’ Home runs are homers,

not ‘dingers,’ ‘jacks’ or ‘bombs.’ A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 ‘unanswered’ points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn’t come back, say it ‘never trailed’ rather than ‘never looked back.’ In short, avoid hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations.”

6. That being said, they’ve added “parking the bus” as an acceptable description of a team packing its defense to protect a lead.

7. On a more serious note, the stylebook now advises against using the phrase “execution-style” to describe killings.

8. “Favorite” is now a verb – as in clicking that star button on Twitter and then never looking at the tweet again.

9. “Craft brewery” is now the preferred term instead of “microbrewery.”

10. Last one: Ulan Bator is out. Ulaanbaatar is in. Should make your upcoming trip to Mongolia a lot smoother.

Those are the big ones. Nothing so controversial this year as in 2014, when they decided “more than” and “over” could be used interchangeably - except in Current.

Commentary by Don Knebel

The tomb of Emperor Humayun near Delhi, India, is a spectacular example of 16th century Persian architecture. It inspired what many travel consider to be the most beautiful building in the world.

Humayun became the second Mughal Emperor in 1531 A.D. upon the death of his father, Babur, a descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan who founded the Empire in 1526 after capturing northern India. Pashtun rebels drove Humayun from his throne in 1540 and he obtained sanctuary in Persia. When he regained control of the Mughal Empire in 1555, he brought back to India Persian tastes and a Persian wife named Haji Begum. Six months after his triumphant return, Humayun died after falling down the steps of his library.

Haji Begum was devastated by her husband’s sudden death and sought solace by undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. She returned motivated to erect a magnificent building to serve as Humayun’s mausoleum, personally funding its 1.5 million rupee cost and supervising its five-year construction. Completed in about 1572, the tomb was constructed primarily of red sandstone, accented with white and black marble. Designed

by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, the symmetrical two-story octagonal structure incor-

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

-Janice H.

porated Persian architectural details, including a large double dome and arched alcoves. The innovative design also featured classic Indian kiosks called “chhatris” positioned around the dome.

Humayun’s tomb was surrounded by a 30acre square garden called a “charbagh” (four gardens), divided into four identical sections by intersecting water channels symbolizing the Islamic image of the rivers of paradise. When the English gained control of India, they had a different idea of paradise and replaced the charbagh with a proper English garden, complete with roundabouts. The garden was restored to its original design after Humayun’s tomb became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993.

Humayun, a mediocre emperor, is remembered primarily for being the father of the third Mughal Emperor, Akbar the Great, renowned for his religious tolerance. Humayun’s tomb, built by a grieving wife, is remembered as the architectural and inspirational ancestor of the Taj Mahal, built by a grieving Shah Jahan, Akbar’s grandson, as a tomb for his favorite wife.

Transforming a family home to a sophisticated residence Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING KITCHEN: Built in 1987, this east side Carmel home suffered from a choppy floor plan and outdated cosmetblueprint for ics. “After becoming improvement empty nesters, we were ready for a change. We considered upgrading to a newer house, but decided to stay in our family home due to comfort, familiarity and our outdoor landscaping that took years to perfect. Our goals were to open up the main level without breaking the budget, create more storage in the kitchen and modernize the design for a grown up look.”

OPEN & AIRY: To create a more open look without the incremental costs of tearing down walls and installing support beams, the six main level doorways were widened to nearly double in size. Removing the bulkheads in the kitchen and powder room, adding recessed can lights and installing engineered hardwood throughout the main level also helped make the space feel more open and airy.

THE KITCHEN: The original U-shape layout made the space feel cramped and uninviting for guests. Removing the existing closet pantry and desk and replacing it with a wall of storage allowed for a new open cabinet layout with an island.

SOPHISTICATED DESIGN: “Over the years, the design of our home centered around our children.

before & after

RESULT: “The remodel completely changed the way we live and entertain in our home. We love that we can comfortably entertain family and friends. The openness of the kitchen and family room now allows people to freely move around.”

Now that they have moved on, we wanted to create a more grown up look.” To achieve the desired mature look, Giallo Fiorito granite and a stone backsplash tile was selected for the powder room and kitchen. New decorative light fixtures in a bronze finish were installed in the dining room, kitchen and foyer on dimmable switches. The dark family room built-ins were replaced with maple cabinets with an ivory finish to match the kitchen island.
