City proceeds with 96th St. roundabouts

By Adam Aasen adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said approval from the city of Indianapolis isn’t necessary to transportation proceed with construction of roundabouts along 96th Street.

Christine Scales, a city-county councilor representing the Indianapolis side of 96th Street, has opposed conScales struction of roundabouts along 96th at Hazel Dell Parkway, Gray Road, Delegates Row and Randall Drive.

As a result, Indianapolis is backing her and won’t sign interlocal agreements for those sites, but Brainard told Current that such agreements are more of a courtesy and aren’t necessary.

“Interlocal agreements come into play more when there’s cost-sharing,” he said.

Brainard noted that Carmel is paying for 100 percent of the costs. Scales and Indianapolis officials have expressed support for three roundabouts along 96th Street at Keystone Parkway, Haverstick

Road and Priority Way. The total cost for all of the 96th Street projects is estimated at approximately $43 million.

Brainard said state law requires cities on the north side of common roadways handle all “construction, reconstruction, improvements and maintenance.” Most of the construction will take place in 2018, although some will take place sooner.

“Our interpretation of the law is that we’re not required to have an interlocal agreement,” Brainard said. “We’re required to maintain the road.”

Brainard said he hasn’t talked to any planning officials in Indianapolis who are opposed to the project. He said many citycounty councilors and planning officials are going along with Scales’ wishes by not signing an interlocal agreement.

Scales said Indianapolis could take legal action to stop the roundabouts, but Brainard said he doubts that’s likely.

Scales said she opposes the roundabouts because of the negative impact construction will have on retail, a concern business owners expressed when she met with them.

“Each respondent believed the roundabouts would have a negative effect on their business trade,” she said.

Carmel considering complete replacement of zoning map

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is working on a replacement for its zoning ordinance and map. After 18 months of reviewing development the zoning classifications, city planners are starting from scratch with a Unified Development Ordinance that is making its way through the Carmel Plan Commission.

Some of the proposed changes are meant to streamline the process, clean up inconsistencies and make language more clear. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard calls it the “5-Minute Code” because the goal is to make it possible

for anyone — not only attorneys — to find what they need in less than five minutes.

“It’s going to be a lot easier to read and (be more) consistent,” he said.

But there also are some strategic changes, including the introduction of three new zoning districts: Urban Residential, Urban Core and Office Core. The zoning districts would follow the “mixed-use” trends in Carmel’s redevelopment areas such as Midtown, the Carmel City Center and the Carmel Arts & Design District. Brainard said it helps create dense properties with multi-story buildings that combine retail, office and residential units.

“It’s the way Western Europe was built for

centuries,” he said.

As a result, the U.S. 31 Corridor Overlay Zone also has been removed and will likely be replaced primarily with the new Office Core District. The Old Meridian District is gone, too, and will likely be replaced with the new Urban Residential and Urban Core districts.

Brainard said the zoning classifications fit what is already happening in those areas, so the feel won’t change.

If the new zoning map is approved, Brainard said there might be fewer planned unit developments, leading to fewer projects needing to go before the plan commission or city council.

Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development will host three training sessions for community nonprofit volunteers. The goal is to help nonprofit boards operate more effectively, help neighborhood groups understand their roles and responsibilities so they can make a difference and help those with strong beliefs advocate their posiDavis tions at the local level.

“HAND’s mission is to invest in neighborhoods, provide housing solutions and develop partnerships to improve lives and build community in Hamilton County,” said Andrea Muirragui Davis, outreach and fundraising coordinator for HAND. “Giving volunteer leaders a clear idea of their roles and responsibilities will empower them to make more of an impact on their community.”

The first session, Board Basics, is set for 6:30 p.m April 25 at Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 1605 E. 106th St. The other topics are Neighborhood Association and Homeowners Association Basics, set for July, and Local Advocacy Basics, set for October.

“Each session has its own lessons. Board Basics will cover the essential roles and responsibilities of members of a not-for-profit board. What are the legal requirements?

What are the practical expectations? What different kinds of boards exist and how do they interact with staff?” Davis said.

Cost is $20 per session or $50 for all three and is open to the public. The first session is limited to 30 participants because of space.

“Hamilton County is fortunate to have active, engaged citizens helping to lead hundreds of community organizations,” Davis said. “The more these volunteer leaders know, the more effective the organizations will be. HAND wants to help equip them with the knowledge they need to make a difference.”

Legislators talk gerrymandering

By Nick Poust • news@currentincarmel.com The League of Women Voters of Indiana recently hosted a panel discussion at the Carmel Clay Public Library to politics discuss redistricting reform and the impact of gerrymandering on the voting process.

The panel was comprised of three state representatives, Democrat Carey Hamilton of District 87 and Republicans Donna Schaibley of District 24 and Jerry Torr of District 39, who joined Common Cause Indiana Policy Director Julia Vaughn to speak on the issues and take questions from some of the 50-plus people in attendance.

Torr had proposed House Bill 1014, which would establish an independent redistricting commission to eliminate gerrymandering. Rep. Milo Smith (R-Columbus), the chairman of the Indiana House Elections and Apportionment Committee, blocked a vote on the bill.

“We’re looking for a balance that will bring bipartisanship to the redistricting process that can become law,” Torr said.

“That’s a very important component of this.”

KITCHEN AND BATH SEMINAR From left, Common Cause Indiana policy director Julia Vaughn and state representatives Carey Hamilton, Jerry Torr and Donna Schaibley discuss gerrymandering. (Photo by Nick Poust)

In addition to Torr’s efforts, Vaughn and Common Cause have worked with the League of Women Voters of Indiana to form the Indiana Coalition for Independent Redistricting Reform, with the vision of a diverse group of Indiana citizens tasked to draw both legislative and congressional districts.

Although Vaughn doesn’t believe redistricting reform has the power to turn a red state blue, she believes it will make an impact on the political system.

“I think we could expect a redistricting process that is done more by citizens outside of the legislative process,” Vaughn said. “It’s a conflict of interest as long as the players also get to be the umpires.”

Last year we added electronics. We started because we were focusing on the increased need for clients to shred confidential documents to help protect them from identity theft,” said Tifney Fields, vice president of marketing for CRS. “We partnered with the U.S. Postal Inspector’s Office, who gave out educational material regarding identity theft cases and ways to avoid exposing yourself.

From there we expanded to include other partners, and it made sense to do it on Earth Day.” During the event, residents can shred confidential documents, donate clothes and recycle old electronics (except for tube TVs)

For most of her life, Maya Shmoel didn’t know about her father’s history in the Holocaust. ceremony In fact, it wasn’t until her late 20s that she found out. She was at a Holocaust remembrance ceremony — similar to the one she’ll be speaking at in Carmel April 28 — and the speaker announced that second-generation surviShmoel vors needed to come up to the stage to light a candle at that point.

“You need to go up and light a candle,” her father said to her.

She was taken aback. She never knew her father, Marcus Hirsch, survived the Holocaust and even after that moment he was hesitant to talk about what happened. She said it was too painful for him.

“Although my father was a Holocaust survivor, he never really talked about it,” she said. “I never really got our family history until after he died 21 years ago.”

Right before he died, Hirsch asked if his daughter had any questions about his

childhood, but she could not answer.

“It haunts me to this day but I couldn’t ask him, because to me it was an admission of his untimely death,” said Shmoel, an Indianapolis resident.

After her father’s death, Shmoel, who was born in Israel, traveled to her birthplace and interviewed her father’s cousin about her family history. She discovered that in October 1941 her grandparents and her father were rounded up along with other Jews in Romania and transported on an eight-day train ride to Ukraine to live in a Jewish Ghetto. Life was difficult; people were hungry. Shortly after their arrival in the Ghetto, her grandfather died of a ruptured appendix and wasn’t even buried.

Toward the end of the war, as Nazis began rounding up people for the gas chambers, German soldiers went door-to-door.

When they approached the Hirsch’s apartment they saw a sign stating the family had typhoid. They thought Hirsch was sick

and avoided the house.

“Of course, the Germans weren’t willing to go in there, and that’s how the family was saved miraculously,” she said.

After World War II, Hirsch immigrated to Israel, where he met his wife and had three children. The family moved to Indianapolis after the 1967 Six Day War in Israel. Hirsch started an Indianapolis business called Marc Woodworking. Shmoel teaches Hebrew language at the Hasten Hebrew Academy.

The presentation in Carmel will be Shmoel’s first time to publicly speak about her family’s Holocaust experience.

Garlic mustard needs to go Commentary by Mary Kissel Spring is certainly in the air and definitely underfoot.

Chances are if you environment tromp through the woods today you’ll have a carpet of garlic mustard beneath your feet. As you crush the greens you will get a subtle whiff of, well, garlic. Thousands of years ago Europeans cultivated the plant, and it is recorded as one of the earliest spices known to that region. But sadly in the 1800s it migrated to the U.S. and has since been propagating and laying waste to indigenous plants in the area.

In early spring, fine little sprays of beautiful pastels flourish and paint the Indiana landscape. Each year now just green plants with white flowers – garlic mustard – are replacing the beautiful blush of pastels.

You can help. Take a walk on the Monon Trail and take with you a few plastic grocery sacks. Yep, it’s that easy.

You are going for the full-body workout.

You walk, you bend down and pull up the insidious bystanders on the trail. Good for your range of motion and your stewardship muscles.

Garlic mustard is an invasive species that is taking over spaces once occupied by native plants.

(Submitted photo)

Early spring – today — is the time to do it.

Put the garlic mustard out of its misery by pulling it from its root and safely bagging up its ready-to-bloom buds.

This is key: It must be taken out now.

Once the flower blooms, it’s all about seeds in the wind, causing more wildfire-like spreading of the invader.

Feel good. Pull out the garlic mustard.

Carmel High School Color Guard Director Rosie Queen describes the 2017 team as epic.

Hard to argue, as achievement CHS finished an unbeaten season with its fifth Winter Guard International world title.

Carmel won with 97,550 points at the Scholastic World Class competition April 9 at the University of Dayton (Ohio) Arena.

Two other Indianapolis-area teams, Avon (second) and Center Grove (fourth) finished in the top five.

“The girls had such a successful season putting our show ‘Arabesque’ on the floor,” Queen said. “We took the show to Florida and Indianapolis regionals and audiences around the country fell in love with the performers. Winning our eighth consecutive state championship and fourth Scholastic World WGI Championship was just the icing on the cake.”

CHS previously captured Scholastic World Class championships in 2011, ’13 and ’15 and won the Scholastic Open Class in 2007.

Queen said there were 30 performers in the World Guard.

“It takes a lot of hard work to get to

the level of excellence that this group has achieved,” Queen said. “It is a testament to their work ethic, drive and passion.”

At the state competition, two CHS seniors were honored. Natalie Brand won the Steve Manning Artistic Scholarship from the Indiana High School Color Guard Association. Stella Mo received an IHSCGA academic scholarship.

Queen said auditions for the 2017-18 color guard, which will compete on the field with the marching band, are set from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 2 and 4. Those attending should meet in the CHS band room.

Although Matt Wehrli is passionate about motorsports, he never thought he was qualified to race in the Purpurdue due Grand Prix.

“One of my friends, who was the crew chief at the time, persistently asked me for two years to join the team,” Wehrli said. “However, it was not until this year that I decided to test the proverbial waters. I had come to the conclusion that I wished to do what I could to support my organization and enjoy myself as much as possible during the process.”

The Purdue junior from Carmel will compete April 22 in the 60th Anniversary Grand Prix Race. When Wehrli joined the Purdue Catholic Students racing team, he thought he would be a track worker or pit crew member. But with his recreation kart racing experience, he was named the backup driver. Earlier this month, they learned the team’s veteran driver couldn’t compete.

Wehrli said he has “a little bit of anxiety about having to race against the caliber of talent this event draws.”

This month he said he had his first experience on an outdoor track as well as his

“I am simply incredibly grateful to get the opportunity to qualify for and participate in this historic race running,” said Wehrli, a 2014 Cathedral High School graduate and aviation management major.

o b s e r v ation Shifting loyalties

Pining for a shower, Arnie and the ‘80s

Commentary by Terry Anker

I’m a mess, people. I smell, I haven’t brushed my teeth in over 30 hours and I’m choking back tears as I humor watch an homage to the late Arnold Palmer. Wow. Even I am impressed with this level of falling apart.

What gives?

Well, as you may remember from last week, I headed down to Florida with five-sixths of my family for spring break vacation. I’ve just returned, having driven through the night for 16 hours straight.

Doo helped some, taking the 1-to-5 a.m.“orphan maker” shift, and then again from 7 to 9 when my eyes quite literally began to cross. I suppose when a middle-ager like myself only gets about four hours of upright dozing, she’s bound to be a little off.

But I think my emotional reaction to the Masters Tournament is more than the result of post-road trip exhaustion. I grew up watching golf. I have vivid memories of Papaw sipping his highball and cheering on Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. My parents have a painting of their favorite players hanging in their kitchen. Doo and I have always followed Phil Mickelson and fondly recall his first green jacket win just a month after our fourth child was born. When I hear the CBS intro music, I get chills. And I may have a commentator crush on Jim Nantz.

As I read back through this, I realize how lame I sound. I can’t pull all-nighters and I actually choose to watch golf, even when awesome movies like “Big Trouble in Little China” are on. I suppose the combination of sleep deprivation, a blatant disrespect for personal hygiene and the gorgeous pink azaleas of Augusta National have left me susceptible to a longing for my youth. Oh, how I long for the ‘80s!

But here in 2017, I should probably just pull myself together and shower. Peace out.

Kudos to the North Carolina Tar Heels for the solid play during the NCAA men’s basketball championship game. While we can happily celebrate the victory, is it OK to pine a bit that our own Indiana teams didn’t fare as well? My beloved IU failed even to make it to the starting line. Then Purdue, Butler and all the Big Ten teams collapsed in due course.

So, we picked a new favorite and cheered for their victory – even if somewhat less passionately! Did we betray our loyalty to our former teams by picking a new hero – or did they fail us by leaving us without one? Our desire to back a winner is a strong one. We find ourselves caught up in the cheering section, advocating for folks that, just a few short weeks earlier, would have seemed inconceivable. Now, we ride the emotional wave with each shot and exchanging lead on the scoreboard.

In giving our allegiance so easily, have we debased our commitment to the home team? Or, are we simply making due with the choices available – and vigorously digging in? Whether it’s sports, politics or menu choices, sometimes we must acquaint ourselves with a backup plan.

Can the fish be just as good as the pasta?

Pasta is our favorite. Should we go hungry if none is offered? Or, should we identify an alternative and find a way to enjoy it, a bit fishy though it may be?

The Tar Heels brought some terrific entertainment. And, we enjoyed it. Still, my heart remembers the storied victories of my own alma mater’s past. As a spectator sport, basketball is better when we choose a team to support – even if we hold out, at least a bit of our love, for the home team.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Campaign encourages teens to call or text for help Commentary submitted by CEO Indiana Youth Services Association David Westenberger, Indiana Senator James Merritt, Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell “If someone had called for help right away, maybe my son would have survived his first high school party.” It’s a statement few parents think they’ll ever make, but one that far too many Hoosier parents have already made.

In an effort to create awareness, particularly during prom and graduation season, Indiana Youth Services Association’s Make Good Decisions program and State Sen. Jim Merritt, author of Indiana’s Lifeline Law, have partnered with Indiana’s Text-to-911 services and Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, chair of the Statewide 911 Board, to increase public awareness about the ability to call or Text-to-911 in an emergency. Indiana’s Lifeline Law provides legal amnesty from prosecution for underage drinking, and many related drinking offenses, for a person who calls or texts (or for persons assisting) and reports a medical emergency, sexual assault or other crime. The

purpose of the partnership is to encourage young people to contact 911 for help when they find themselves or a friend in an emergency.

HOW IT WORKS Those who contact 911 via Text-to-911 or by calling must demonstrate that they are acting in good faith by completing ALL of the following three steps: • Call and provide their full name and other relevant information requested by law enforcement officers and emergency medical responders.

• Stay at the scene with the ‘victim’ until law enforcement and emergency medical assistance arrives.

• Cooperate with authorities on the scene.

Indiana is leading the nation with innovative technology to better serve Hoosiers and make it easier and safer for the public to contact 911 in an emergency. Indiana is one of only four states that offers a statewide deployment of Text-to-911 services. If you’re a parent to teens, please encourage them to call or text 911, and stay and cooperate if they find themselves in an emergency.

READERS ’ V I E W S Roundabout turn signals avert disaster Editor, My demise was diverted recently, not once but twice, because I used my turn signal at a roundabout. The initial near-tragedy occurred in the 126th and Hazel Dell roundabout. Driving from the north on Hazel Dell and turning to transverse the circle, I expected to exit east onto 126th.

A thundering herd of cars was charging toward me from the south. I immediately flipped on my turn signal indicating, ‘I am turning in front of you. Stop!’ The lead car in the long line screeched to a halt and I successfully exited with my life intact. Another day, another roundabout, same scenario. I arrived home safely again!

Sure, the above is drama, but I stand my ground. To be certain that I, at 84 (and with a few more years in me), can proceed through a roundabout safely, I’ll apply my turn signal every time I see the need. I want all drivers to know what my intent is when encircling any roundabout in our city.

Is the signal ordinance a definite need for Carmel?

Aren’t we all adults enough to voluntarily signal our turns when appropriate and not have to fear being a nabbed and fined offender? Let us use our innate common sense!

Jean B. Miller, Carmel

Great schools help property values Editor, I remember clearly the motivation that focused our search for a home toward Carmel. Twenty-nine years ago, it was schools, schools, schools.

Both of our children achieved graduation with their entire education occurring within the walls of the Carmel Clay school system.

Now that they are launched into successful careers and I only drive by schools, it would be natural for me to adopt a fiscal view of schools that includes words like: stop, enough and adequate. However, as a property owner in Carmel, that viewpoint would be extremely shortsighted. Just as I was lured to Carmel those many years ago by a strong school system, I believe that trend must continue to protect the value of my home.

Throughout our history, the Carmel community has made it a priority to invest in a top-quality education for our children. I appreciate the taxpayers who came before me and created the system we are proud of and richly benefit from. There is no argument that the reputation of excellent schools still provides a healthy climate for the housing market. It is now my turn to protect that reputation, and so I ask you to join me in supporting the replacement referendum May 2.

This is not a vote for bricks and mortar, but programs and people. The replacement referendum will keep in place funds we voted for seven years ago. I have attended more than one detailed presentation by Superintendent Wahl, and I am convinced the referendum makes sense, is not excessive and would have a negative effect on our community if it is not approved. Please vote yes and ensure excellence remains a vital ingredient to our success.

Jeff Worrell, Carmel city councilor

Carmel Marathon participants share motivation for April 22 race

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com There were more than 3,800 finishers in the 2016 Carmel Marathon. Each year, every runner has his or her own reason for running.

It could be a hobby or an obsession. It could be a way to get into shape or achieve new goals.

As the April 22 race approaches, here are some inspiring stories from 2017 participants.

Alan Swankie will complete his goal to run a marathon in all 50 states at the Carmel Marathon.

Janice Martin will run her 100th half marathon in Carmel.

(Submitted photo)

RUNNING IN ALL 50 STATES

RUNNING HER 100TH

Janice Martin, 55, ran her first half marathon in 2005.

Through the years, she started running more. She has run about 80 half marathons in the past five years and has competed in 43 states. Her goal is to run in all 50 states.

Last month, during a race in Washington D.C., the Indianapolis resident realized her 100th half marathon was approaching soon.

“I had to decide where I wanted my 100th to be, and I wanted it to be special, so I picked the Carmel (half) Marathon,” she said. “I’ve participated every year, and so it seemed fitting.”

In honor of her 100th half marathon, Martin wants to raise $2,500 for Back on My Feet, a national organization “that combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources,” according to its website. So far, she’s raised more than $2,000 as of April 4.

Her fastest time was 1 hour and 55 minutes during the Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis in 2013. She goes through about six pairs of running shoes a year.

Canadian Alan Swankie has seen a lot of the U.S. as a runner.

The 45-year-old, who lives near Toronto, decided in 2012 that he’d try to run full marathon races in all 50 states.

“Through no fault of my own, I accumulated about 15 states when I went away in the wintertime to catch a little sun,” he said. “The company I worked for closed in 2011, and with the prospect of a lot of free time on my hands, I considered finishing another 35 states and joining the 50 States Marathon Club.”

He’s competed in 64 marathons, including two Iron Man competitions. His favorite is the New York City Marathon.

“It’s a great way to see a city, or at least 26 miles of it,” he said. “I’m hoping to see most of Carmel.”

Swankie started running in 2001 because he felt the need to get in shape when he and his wife were adopting their first child.

“Like many executives, I was carrying some extra weight and had a fairly sedentary lifestyle, save the odd game of golf or ski vacation,” he said.

Now, he plans to make the Carmel Marathon the race that brings him to his 50 state goal.

“I chose Indiana as my final state as it is a driveable distance from home, which was important for the number of friends who wanted to come,” he said. “It’s relatively flat, and Carmel has a reputation for being a pretty nice place, similar to my hometown of Oakville.”

Rose Scovel runs in the 2017 Sam Costa half marathon in Carmel.

SETTING THE PACE FOR OTHERS

Rose Scovel, 40, of Indianapolis, jokes that she doesn’t look like a typical runner.

“I started walking and running in 2008 after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,” she said. “I wasn’t an athlete as a kid, and I still don’t look like one. I am not competitive with anyone but myself and the clock. But I work hard and keep setting new goals.”

Since 2008, she’s competed in five full marathons and 61 half marathons. She walked in the first Carmel Half Marathon six days after she completed her first full marathon. Every year since, she’s been a pacer for 3 hours or 2 hours and 45 minutes for the half marathon. In 2017, she’ll be running full-speed in the half marathon in Carmel for the first time.

As a pacer, runners follow her during the race to make sure they are at the speed they want to maintain. But this year she can go as fast or slow as she wants.

She’s had her ups and downs through the years but she keeps running. She was unable to finish her first full marathon attempt in 2009 at the Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis but finally checked it off her list in 2011 in San Diego.

“There are so many good stories, because I race a lot,” she said. “In some ways, they are all impressive for me.”

Why I’m running Commentary by Jim Serger

Before

After

RUNNING AFTER A ROUGH YEAR Mike Estes, 43, of Nobesville, had a rough year. Coming off an injury the previous year, he finally got back to running again when he was hit by tragic news: his wife Stephanie was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“The stress of that, and having to do more around home, along with the balance of work, kids and coaching cross country, led to a stop in my running,” Estes said. “As I stopped exercising, I did a fair amount of stress eating, sugar and other junk food, and my weight went up.”

During this time, his father died of kidney failure, adding to his stress.

Estes weighed approximately 185 pounds when he stopped exercising but quickly reached 232 pounds, his heaviest weight ever.

“I decided it was time to make some drastic changes,” he said. “I signed up for the Carmel Half Marathon in 2016 and used that as added motivation to get back to running and lose weight.”

Estes now runs 40 to 50 miles per week and weighs less than 177 pounds. Meeting up with the Carmel Runners Club once or twice a week has kept him accountable.

His wife also has improved. She even ran a 5K April 8 with the goal to run it without stopping.

“Compared to when she was going through chemo and then radiation, she’s doing well,” he said.

For this year’s half marathon, Estes said his goal is to finish in less than 1 hour and 50 minutes.

“Since the end of October I’ve had April 22 as a target and a motivator to get my workouts in,” he said. “As the race nears I’m now hoping to set a personal record on race day.”

It’s about the journey Commentary by Adam Aasen

Last year, I ran the half marathon at the 2016 Carmel Marthon weekend. I finished with my best time yet — 2 hours and 8 minutes.

But what I’ll remember most from that day wasn’t running my finishing time or how sore my legs were. It was a man who quietly finished the race more than an hour after me.

It was a beautiful day, so after cleaning up my fiancée and I decided to go to Divvy to sit outside for lunch. As we were walking along City Center, we saw people breaking down tables and loading equipment into trucks.

But there was one man — with a determined look on his face — pushing his way to the finish line.

My guess is he was the last one to finish the full marathon. I didn’t talk to him and I didn’t take his photo. I didn’t want to distract him or embarrass him, but I was really struck by him.

It had to be six or seven hours after the race started at 9 a.m. We stood there and clapped for him to cheer him on. We wanted him to know we weren’t making fun of him in the least. On the contrary, it was inspiring to see someone keep going and not give up. He might have been last, but he finished, and that puts him ahead of everyone who quit or didn’t even try.

My personal goal for the half marathon in 2017 is to run it in less than two hours. I don’t know if I’ll reach my goal, but I know I won’t quit. Even if my legs are on fire and I’m exhausted and in pain, I’ll think of that guy who finished last and never gave up. He still finished.

As we stare down a gray rhino, the look can be completely overwhelming. The aggressiveness, the thick amour, it’s as if there is a slim marathon possibility of not being trampled.

The black swan—have you seen one?

I never have, but they do exist. For years the English only thought white swans existed, but upon visiting Australia their mindset changed.

The Carmel Marathon is fast approaching. It’s my gray rhino—I am facing it down, I am going to tackle this “beast” head-on, and with determination I will cross the finish line for the first time after 26.2 miles.

Breast cancer can be a gray rhino or it can be a black swan. It’s up to you as an individual to figure it out, one way or the other. We can deny breast cancer exists, or we can treat it like a gray rhino: face it down, challenge it and admit it affects one out of eight women.

I am running this marathon for a dear high school friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer. A year before, she lost her mom to this disease. But, like the English, she told herself breast cancer will not invade her body. That all changed when she faced it with a gray rhino-mentality. She walked out of a Kroger, and in the parking lot was a mobile breast cancer mammogram unit. It was shutting down when Erin walked up and they said they’d fire up the equipment and run a test.

A few days later, Erin was diagnosed. That led to a bilateral mastectomy, which led to Erin being a breast cancer survivor today. Her kids are thrilled — mom is still with them.

Eighty-five percent of all breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of the disease.

Peter Criss, drummer for the rock band Kiss, is a breast cancer survivor. Now, that is an eye-opener to the black swan.

This marathon is about challenging myself to something that is scary, something that is not comfortable and something that is not normal to do as a human being. So listen up moms, daughters, grandmas and sisters. Overcome your fear and face that rhino down, get a mammogram. That is uncomfortable and not normal—and I am sure very scary.

The question is: Are you in denial, or are you open to getting one?

What is terrifying to me is that my grandma died of breast cancer when I was 10 years old—she was 52.

This marathon is about getting checked and overcoming your fear. So husbands, push those wives.

Dads, push those daughters. And friends, push those ladies to get a mammogram. Erin is alive because she was pro-active instead of reactive.

Death by Oreos great way to go Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We hear a lot about frivolous lawsuits, but we don’t hear nearly enough about the delicious ones. A guy from humor Kentucky is suing the company that makes Oreo cookies.

He asserts that Oreos are slowly killing him. So what’s the problem? This sounds like a fun way to die.

The Nabisco company claims that 450 billion of these treats have been eaten in the last 100 years and no autopsy has ever listed the cause of death as Oreo cookies.

I’ve been eating Oreo cookies for 65 years. We know the ritual: A glass of cold milk, plus 20 or 30 Oreos, then you start twisting them apart. Some people eat the side with cream frosting first; some just eat the frosting; some dip the cookie in milk; some guzzle the milk after the cookie.

How can you sue a company that has given you so many wonderful options in your life?

So, does this guy have a case? Unlike cigarettes, where a warning is clearly emblazoned on the package, there is no admonition anywhere on the Oreo package or on the cookie. Considering how people eat Oreos, maybe inside the cookie, right

in the vanilla cream, the Nabisco people should print: “The Surgeon General has determined that eating Oreo cookies over an entire lifetime can raise your triglycerides and affect your cholesterol levels.”

The Nabisco company admits their cookies have many calories, but they claim they are already testing alternatives. When McDonald’s said they were looking for an alternative to their fatty hamburger, they came up with a soy burger. Two out of three people who ate the burgers loved them. That was the problem. In six months, only three people ate them.

What about those cauliflower and broccoli farmers who have been getting away with murder for years? People are taking those veggies, breading and deep frying them. Then they dunk them in a creamy cheese sauce.

Those farmers better have some pretty good lawyers.

The Benefits of Hiring a Designer

By David Decker With the ever-growing popularity of home renovation television shows and websites like Houzz & Pinterest many homeowners have developed the “do-ityourself” mindset when it comes to remodeling their own homes. Unfortunately, what those shows and sites don’t advertise are the true logistics of getting to the finished product; and sometimes it’s those unknowns that take that “dream photo” and turn it into a nightmare. That is why it is important to bring those photos to a design professional instead of attempting to do it on your own.

Not only will your designer be able to turn those ideas into a reality, but they will tailor them to your own style to create a space unique to you. A good designer will take the time to get to know you and your needs, determine the struggles that currently exist in your space

and re-design it to guarantee a more functional outcome.

Aside from functionality, professionals have an eye for design and the knowledge needed to make appropriate material selections for any space. They get the first look into the latest and greatest trends in the design world and are trained to generate innovative ideas and designs with exclusive materials.

Additionally, notable designers are able to guide you to qualified tradesmen to ensure installation standards are met if not exceeded throughout every aspect of the remodel.

Renovating your home should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one. Let us help you! For more information or to set up a meeting with one of our designers for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel, give us a call at 317.575.9540 or visit our website at www.theaffordablecompanies.com.

Platform 24 now open

12th ANNUAL Carmel sprint triathon

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

9 A.M. • APRIL 30, 2017 CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL

Carmel’s The Brookfield Group has teamed up with The Speak Easy, a nonprofit collaborative space, coworking to create a coworking space in Carmel.

Platform 24, 12400 N. Meridian St., celebrated its launch April 13.

Two Carmel residents, Daniel Abdallah, the chief technology officer for The Brookfield Group in Carmel, and The Speak Easy member and CEO of Archon Tech Strategies Tony Unfried, are the co-founders of Platform 24, which aims to create an environment for entrepreneurial innovation.

“I was always hoping there would be something in Carmel, and so I was excited to hear about Daniel Abdullah’s plans,” Unfried said. “We’re excited to bring this space to Carmel, and we think it’s a perfect fit.”

In March 2015, Old Town Design Group announced plans for a 20,000-square-foot coworking space that would have included a public café featuring coffee and cocktails.

It was to be called Edison Business Lounge and would have offered 40 to 50 private offices around 50 other alternative desk spaces. Old Town partner Justin Moffett said the idea isn’t dead and he’d like to have a coworking space in Midtown at some point, but for now those plans are on hold.

ADULTS, YOUTH 6-9 AND 10-15 IN FLIGHTS BEGINNERS TO EXPERIENCED More info 317-575-8244 www.carmelswimclub.org

Platform 24 will be available to members of The Speak Easy, which is central Indiana’s first coworking space with locations at The Speak Easy Broad Ripple, The Speak Easy Downtown Indianapolis and zWORKS in Zionsville. The Speak Easy is an independent member-based, nonprofit organization that was founded in 2011 to “bring established businesses and entrepreneurs together in the spirit of growth and acceleration.” The Speak Easy member companies have created more than 1,500 jobs in the Indianapolis area.

Unfried said members will be excited about Platform 24’s new space. There will be seating for up to 60 people in open coworking areas, including 30 at adjustable desks. There also will be 70-inch mounted televisions, two conference rooms, a commercial printer and a kitchen for use by members.

Unfried said there’s so much interest already that expansion is a possibility. He noted that coworking spaces are great for providing low overhead for new businesses and to connect entrepreneurs with likeminded individuals to collaborate. He said Carmel’s future corporate headquarters could grow around these kinds of coworking spaces.

Books & Brews coming to Carmel

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com The first Books & Brews franchise will soon open in the Carmel area. Alex and Lori Stanley are the franchise expansion owners. The couple has been regular customers ever since Alex visited Books & Brews during his bachelor party in early 2016.

“The vibe you get when you walk in and are surrounded by books and then a bar offering local food and great craft beer brewed on site just can’t be matched,” Alex said. “When I got home the first thing I did was tell Lori that we had to go back together sometime.”

When the Carmel couple heard Books & Brews founder Jason Wuerfel wanted to franchise, they didn’t have to think long.

“I love Books & Brews as a consumer, and the business model makes it a very attractive opportunity for a young, first-time small business owner,” Alex said. “We met within a week of me reaching out to him, and that is when it started to become more of a reality rather than just a dream.”

Carmel woman inspires others through paintings

By Sara Baldwin editorial@youarecurrent.com Upon stepping in from the ornate halls of Carmel retirement community The Barrington and into the two-bedroom abode of Mary Jean Alig, the first thing one art notices is that her home is a veritable gallery of artwork, each piece bearing Alig’s signature. Her chosen mediums are acrylic, pastel, watercolor, etching and mixed media. Yet a true cohesive style runs through her work — the people and places dear to her own heart.

Alig, 87 years old, has been painting for most of her life. She was born and raised in Indianapolis and attended Shortridge High School.

Alig earned a bachelor’s degree from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Mass., where she majored in art and focused on art history and theory. After college, she began working at H.P. Wasson & Company, a local department store chain, drawing advertisements.

After dating long-distance through college, Alig and her husband, Vincent, were married in 1952. In 1954 she gave birth to her first child. She has four children, 12 grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

“I think it was after my son’s wedding that I started focusing on painting,” Alig said. “I did various things like invitations for organizations I belonged to. People hired me to do portraits of their grandchildren.”

Many of Alig’s paintings are of her immediate family members, or special moments and places.

One of the oldest paintings she has displayed in her apartment depicts three young girls laying in the sand on the beach.

It was painted from a photograph taken of her daughter and two nieces during a family vacation to Florida.

“Actually, there were four girls in (the photograph), and I just ran out of steam to put the fourth girl in,” Alig said.

Alig’s most recent painting is a depiction of a Fourth of July parade, inspired by her annual summer trip to the Michigan property her family owns. The summer home in Harbor Springs, Mich., is the setting for many of her paintings.

Although her portraits tend to be done

paint and lets that dry.

“When it’s dry, you take the (plastic) wrap off and see the patterns that it has made there,” Alig said. “Looking at all the creases and patterns, you start painting images as you see them.”

Alig’s art was recently on display in the main Art Gallery at The Barrington, as part of the Masterpiece Living program, which focuses on an individual’s key development areas: physical, mental, social and spiritual.

NIGHT & DAY

Current in Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Last month, the Advent Herald Symphony & Singers literally followed in Jesus’ footsteps.

The central Michiganconcert based group of high schoolaged performers filmed from spots where Jesus walked during a trip to Israel.

“We filmed the place where Jesus was tried by Herod’s court in Jerusalem on that Friday he was crucified,” music director Craig Cleveland said. “We filmed on the Mount of Olives at day and night. We rode camels toward Bethlehem.”

The group will perform at 7 p.m. April 25 at the Carmel Seventh-day Adventist Church, 14535 Carey Rd. Cleveland’s brother-in-law, David Tenold, is the pastor of the church.

“We have a wind symphony, and a full symphony and singers,” Cleveland said.

“We’ll be singing a lot of music from (the Israel trip) and share pictures from the trip.”

The group will share memories during the concert. They also filmed at the Sea of Galilee, the synagogue in Capernaum and the walls of Jerusalem.

“It was a thrilling trip,” Cleveland said.

“We did have dramatic times. We were run out a couple of times by people that didn’t want to hear about Jesus. There was an irate man in a public park who said we were desecrating his family’s graves, and there was a cemetery nearby, because we were singing about Jesus and we had a cross up as a prop.”

Cleveland tried to calm him while they continued filming. Then the man called the police. The guide said although it was legal to film there, he wasn’t sure how the police would handle it. So they quickly got two takes, packed up and left quickly.

Ellen Kingston fully embraces cabaretstyle shows.

“I was the artistic director for Raleigh’s Dinner Theater in Indianapotheater lis for a number of years down on Mass. Ave. (in Indianapolis),” Kingston said. “I got to do all kinds of revue shows. I love everything about them.”

“Side by Side by Sondheim” will be held May 4 to 17 at the 150-seat The Cat, 254 1st Ave. SW., Carmel.

“It’s a real cute show and pulls out a lot of his best stuff,” said June Clair, a Carmel resident.

The revue features songs from Sondheim musicals such as “Company,” “A Little Night Music” and “Follies.” In addition, there are songs Sondheim wrote the lyrics for from “West Side Story” and “Gypsy.”

“The challenge is I expanded the cast a bit because we wanted to be a little more inclusive and reach more people and include more people in our production,” Kingston said. “So we have two couples, myself as the narrator and two accompanists. The challenge has been assigning

everything. The original production only had three people on stage. So it’s taking this gorgeous music and assigning it to the different people that I have. It’s fun and challenging.”

As narrator, Kingston explains the setup for each number.

Clair and her husband, John, took over Carmel Repertory Theatre in 2013 and renamed it Carmel Theatre Company. The group had been using Studio 15 on Main Street.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. There are 7 p.m. performances May 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 and 2:30 p.m. May 7. For tickets, visit brownpapertickets.com/ event/2912415.

Lloyd to perform at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com At 79, the idea of leaving his Southern California home doesn’t appeal to jazz musician Charles Lloyd much.

“I am a homebody and Concert extremely resistant to leave the house,” the legendary saxophonist said. “Once we get in the car and head to the airport, I let go, and the idea of a new chance to make music is a thrill.”

Charles Lloyd & the Marvels will make a Carmel stop on their latest tour, playing at the Palladium at 7:30 p.m. April 20.

“Every time I walk on stage it’s another chance to try and tell the truth,” Lloyd said.

“I have been trying to do that all my life.

Fifty-plus years later, I am still doing that — searching for the sound. When I walk on stage, the whole of my life’s experience walks on with me. I find that the longer I live the more I have to give. It might be a couple of familiar songs, but I am looking for fresh flowers in the forest of sound.”

Lloyd released the album “I Long To See You” in 2016.

“It was an honor to have the wonderful

contribution from Willie Nelson on ‘Last Night I had the Strangest Dream,’” Lloyd said. “I used to listen to his album ‘Stardust’ when I lived in Big Sur, and I knew we had a simpatico. The weary depth of his voice and life experience is poignantly on that track. Over the years I have heard Norah Jones singing in my mind’s ear on ‘You Are So Beautiful.’ The timing was right in both of our schedules for her to lend her soulful and sultry voice to the song. I was very happy about that.”

5 hour outdoor living trends Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s a regular conversation we have, and a provocative one. It compels us to identify the large moveoutdoor living ments in outdoor living and separate those from the short-lived trends that will certainly fizzle. Stimulating to recognize we are driving a revolution that is inspiring families out to patios and decks like decades’ past.

Here are my five favorite movements: • The realization that luxury outdoor living is not a trend, but a healthy lifestyle choice that brings joy, hope and gratitude — and lots of fun. Outdoor living has been rediscovered, and time will strengthen the growth as its benefits are measured and appreciated.

• Finally, stylish outdoor furniture has made its way to a few of the big box retailers. Sleek, colorful, radiant, wellconstructed and affordable. Great furniture with thought-out placement changes how the space lives and fuels entertainment and laughter.

• Fire features, abbreviated grill sta-

tions, shade structures and privacy are major topics with our clients. Recurring themes for years that speak to our lifestyle and what’s important to us. Get ready for some crazy products that will fuse the indoors with the out even more.

• Low-maintenance deserves its own zipcode. We love the outdoors but don’t necessarily want to spend hours a week maintaining it. Want a boost in outdoor living? Hire a weekly gardener to stop by for an hour a week to snip, prune and clean up.

• Keep it simple. There’s no reason your deck/patio/walk has to be complicated by forced curves and not enough gathering space. Simple, clean and easy are the foundational elements of elegant spaces and have been for centuries.

It’s going to be lots of fun. Actually, it already is.

St. Petersburg: What’s in a name?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Teacher OF THE MONTH

ATTENTION, STUDENTS! Send a 100-word essay (along with your school, name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win Edge Guys Heating & Cooling/Current in Carmel honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The winning teacher will receive a $50 visa gift card from Edge Guys and the winning essayist will win a pizza party for their class, courtesy of Papa John’s.

The deadline for nominations is 4/28/17.

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its various names reflect Russian history. travel In 1703, 31-year-old Tsar Peter I founded a port on a marshy area at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland that he had captured from Sweden.

The port, along the Neva River, gave Russia access to the Baltic Sea. To protect the port from a feared counter-attack, Peter built a fortress on an island in the Neva River that he named for Saints Peter and Paul. A city developed around the fortress, expanding onto other islands. Peter named his new city Sankt-Petersburg, a German formulation honoring St. Peter as patron. Having become fascinated with European culture and architecture during an 18-month visit to European capitals, Peter gave his city a distinctly European look, with classical façades and broad canals. Peter, known to history as Peter the Great, made St. Petersburg the capital of Russia in 1712.

In 1914, after war broke out with Germany, the city’s name was changed to the Russian-sounding Petrograd, with Peter I now its patron. In 1924, after the Russian

Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Revolution, the Bolsheviks renamed the city Leningrad. After the fall of Communism, the city regained its original name after a public vote in 1991.

Today, St. Petersburg is the secondlargest city in Russia, home to more than 5 million people. The historic area around the Peter and Paul Fortress is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site, with large buildings prohibited. St. Petersburg is home to at least 220 museums, including the one-of-a-kind Hermitage, and more than

2,000 libraries. Its many colorful churches include St. Issac’s, the third-largest domed cathedral in the world. Because of its network of canals and rivers, the city is one of several dubbed the “Venice of the North.”

St. Petersburg is not Moscow’s Russia.
