Expert: CCS withheld info

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools should have provided information on the factual basis for putting its superEDUCATION intendent and human resources director on leave in October 2017, according to Indiana’s public access counselor, who is responsible for interpretWahl ing public access law and advising the public.

Former CCS Supt. Nicholas Wahl and Director of Human Resources Corrine Middleton were placed on administrative leave in October 2017 while the school board conducted a review of district leadership.

School board President Layla Spanenberg confirmed that the review included examining the relationship between the two administrators, and many people speculated that they had been romantically involved. In January, CCS announced that both administrators had resigned.

In a 16-page advisory opinion, Public Access Counselor Luke Britt states that the district attempted to skirt the intent of the Access to Public Records Act by saying the three-month administrative leave of its administrators did not appear to be disciplinary and referring to their eventual departures as resignations.

“Using CCS’ logic, a factual basis would likely never need to be created as long as an affected employee accepts the terms of a negotiated agreement after-the-fact,” the opinion states. “This ‘nothing to see here’ approach could ostensibly always be invoked under the auspices of ‘a change in direction’ or ‘administrative review.’”

The report states that government agencies do not need to provide personnel files of public employees except for some basic facts, information related to formal charges and the factual basis for a disciplinary ac-

tion in which final action has been taken and resulted in the employee being suspended, demoted or discharged.

Britt’s investigation concluded that placing the administrators on leave was a disciplinary action, as the CCS progressive discipline policy lists paid administrative leave as an option.

He also took issue with the length of the leave, stating that the commonly accepted standard appears Middleton to be 30 days.

“CCS should be mindful that a 90-day administrative leave is nothing short of a three-month paid vacation on the taxpayers’ dime,” Britt states.

Wahl is receiving his contract salary and partial benefits through June 30. His contract was set to run through June 30, 2022.

According to Wahl’s contract, signed in August 2013, his annual salary was $195,000 with potential increases each year. Middleton received her salary, which was $114,299 in 2017 according to Indiana Gateway, through March 31 and received payment for 26 unused vacation days.

Britt also states that it appeared Wahl and Middleton didn’t have much of a choice when they resigned. CCS officials said their departures were voluntary, but Britt disputes that.

“The bottom line is that a public agency cannot short circuit APRA’s factual basis requirement by surreptitiously designating all adverse personnel actions involving a public employee as: non-disciplinary; non-final; or merely resignations,” the report states.

The opinion is intended to be advisory and education in nature and is non-binding.

A CCS spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment as of press time or indicate if the district plans to release information on the factual basis for putting Wahl and Middleton on leave. An attempt to reach Spanenberg was unsuccessful as of press time.

Motorists in Carmel and Westfield will soon see a remedy to what many see as one of the biggest traffic headROADS aches along the border between the two cities.

Hamilton County broke ground April 13 on a new ramp that will allow motorists to access southbound Keystone Parkway from 146th Street.

Currently, motorists can drive north along Keystone and take an exit to get to Lowe’s, Koto’s Japanese Steakhouse, Menards and more. But coming back, there’s no southbound route onto Keystone. Many motorists cut through residential areas, such as Foster Estates, or cut through Clay Terrace, a pedestrian-heavy outdoor mall.

Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said it’s one of the biggest projects people have asked for since he took office.

“If you’ve ever traveled in the morning during the peak hours on Carey Road, especially during school hours, you’ll see there’s significant backup there,” he said.

“A lot of the people who live in these areas take longer alternative routes just to get onto southbound Keystone. This will provide

Phase I of the project also will connect the northbound Keystone Parkway ramp from 136th Street to the northbound Keystone ramp to Lowes Way and 146th Street. Crews also will change the existing signal at the entrance to Lowes Way to a roundabout. Phase I will cost $10 million and should be complete by 2019.

Sexual abuse survivor to speak at breakfast

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

christinealtman.com

Although she was at one time a popular student at her Texas high school, Jenna Quinn said she CHAUCIE’S PLACE never considered herself a brave person.

But courage was inside her the entire time.

Quinn is now known for Texas’ Jenna’s Law, which mandates that schools and day care facilities train Quinn school-aged children, staff and parents on the signs and symptoms of abuse. She’s written a book, given TED talks, spoken to legislators and traveled the nation speaking out against sexual abuse.

She’ll be the featured speaker at the April 27 Chaucie’s Place Breakfast in Carmel.

As a teenage girl, Quinn said she was abused by her basketball coach. To make herself less attractive, she would purposely overeat. She’d cut herself. Her grades dropped. She hardly slept. She thought of suicide.

By age 16, she said she had completely changed.

She finally told her family in 2003, and after a trial that lasted more than a year, her abuser was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

After the trial, a reporter from the Dallas Morning News approached Quinn about doing an article. She was 17 at the time, but she and her family agreed.

From that moment on, Quinn has worked tirelessly to pass legislation similar to Jenna’s Law, which was passed in Texas in 2009, around the nation. About 30 states have similar laws. The Indiana General Assembly recently approved similar legislation authored by State Sen. Mark Messmer (R-Jasper).

Quinn said more states need to pass such laws.

“The work is never done,” she said. “I feel like this work is lifelong for me.”

Co-parenting after a divorce can be challenging enough, but trying to coordinate schedules between parents and a child can often create additional frustration. Summer schedules are typically much different than during the school year and, as summer break is quickly approaching, it is important to be mindful of the challenges of juggling differing schedules. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines (IPTG) do offer some direction on how to divide a child’s summer vacation, but remember these are just bare-minimum guidelines and that it is best to do what works for the unique needs of the child(ren) and the parents.

Plan summer schedules ahead as early as possible. The IPTG require a noncustodial parent to make their summer parenting time selection by April 1st of each year; however, if you are currently in the process of going through a divorce, creating a summer parenting time schedule should be at the top of your to-do list. Summer vacation begins the day after school dismisses for the summer and ends the day before school resumes for the new school year. If you plan to follow the IPTG, for children 5 years and older who follow a traditional school schedule, each parent gets one-half of the child(ren)’s summer vacation. Although summer vacation is to be shared equally between parents, it can be divided in a way which works best for the parents and child(ren). Planning an out-of-town vacation? Regular parenting time essentially flip flops for whichever parent is currently exercising their extended summer parenting time.

Get that vacation scheduled and on the books early so the other parent can plan accordingly. When creating a schedule, the IPTG dictate that parents should also consider the other parent’s work schedule, and a parent’s work restrictions should never be used against them. Let the other parent know as early as possible if any employer-imposed restrictions exist that may conflict with a summer parenting schedule, and plan accordingly.

Remember that what’s in the best interest of the child(ren) is most important! A summer parenting plan should be crafted to fit the child(ren)’s specific needs. Consider speaking to your child(ren), especially if they’re older, about their wishes for summer vacation.

What may work for a 10-year-old may not work for as well for a 16-year-old. Although a child should never make the ultimate decision as to whether parenting time occurs, it is important to consider a child’s activities and wishes, so they can also enjoy their vacation from school. If your child participated in a particular summer camp or sports league prior to your separation, the divorce should not dictate a significant change. Be mindful fact that academic, extracurricular, and social activities are just as important to the child(ren)’s development, even if it’s during your scheduled parenting time. It is not uncommon for adolescents to have to study more often, to be heavily involved in extracurricular activities (such as sports), or to have varying social activities with friends, and the IPTG recognize that parents should make all reasonable efforts to accommodate that participation.

Be flexible and avoid parenting power struggles. Unless an inability to civilly and effectively communicate exists (thereby creating an environment that puts the child(ren)’s well-being at risk), communication with your former spouse is key. Even happily married couples often have differing parenting styles and a separation can intensify these differences. Pick your battles and find agreeable ways to communicate with each other.

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

Auschwitz survivor shares story at city event

A recent poll showed 22 percent of American millennials haven’t heard of the Holocaust. Two-thirds of those HOLOCAUST millennials could not identify the significance of Auschwitz, the deadly concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard used the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony to urge caution on not letting history repeat itself.

The event was April 13 at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Center in Carmel.

“Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis,” Brainard said. “Men, women and children were sent to death merely for being different. Let’s not just remember how they died but how they lived. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers who loved and hoped and dreamed just like us.”

Brainard used the ceremony to pay tribute to attendee Janina Korzeniewski Clark, a 96-year-old Carmel resident whose Catholic family orchestrated the freedom of many Polish Jewish citizens by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto and into her par-

ents’ home. They hid in her family’s cellar until other Resistance members could take them out of Warsaw to safety.

“This amazing woman was horrified of what was happening to the Jewish people of Warsaw, many of whom were friends,” Brainard said. “She risked her life every time she participated.”

Brainard said Clark has signed contracts for a screenplay and book about her life.

The main guest speaker was Indianapolis resident Frank Grunwald, who survived concentration camps as a youngster. His mother and brother died in the gas chamber

at Auschwitz, but another prisoner pulled Grunwald out of the line, saving him. The Indianapolis resident didn’t start talking about his experiences until a decade ago.

Grunwald worked for 30 years at General Electric and now teaches industrial design at Purdue University.

“The memories of the Holocaust are with me every day and almost every hour,” Grunwald said. “What makes the Holocaust difficult to comprehend is the vast number of deaths.”

Grunwald said anti-semitism was prevalent in Europe before the war.

“The German propaganda machine was able to pour gasoline on an already existing fire,” he said. “Throughout history there has been a conflict between two powerful forces, anger and hatred as opposed to tolerance and empathy. These characteristics seem to accompany societies no matter where they are and how educated and culturally sophisticated they might be.

“Unfortunately, anger and hatred seems to be part of the human DNA. They will most likely continue to fester as long as man occupies this planet.”

Grunwald said his only hope is that history doesn’t repeat itself.

‘Fairy Tales’ coming to Carmel Ice Skadium

By Dawn Pearson news@currentincarmel.com The Ice Skating Club of Indianapolis is bringing family fun and musical favorites to its annual ice skating ICE SKATING show.

The show will be at 4:15 p.m., April 29 at the Carmel Ice Skadium, 1040 3rd Ave SW. The show is titled “Fairy Tales.”

Performances will be skated to music from “Snow White,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Frog Prince,” “Little Mermaid,” “Swan Lake,” “Mulan” and “Alice in Wonderland,” with opening and closing numbers that will include all of the club’s skaters.

ISCI practices at the Carmel Ice Skadium, and according to the president of the junior board of directors, Sofia Alexandra Colon, 16, the performance will be full of great music and family fun.

“The performance is a great showcase filled with characters people know and love, songs and music that people can sing along to,” Colon said. “Each piece is very recognizable that parents and kids will know and love.”

There are 18 members in ISCI ranging in age from 9 to 17, and the main ice skating

1968 Olympian Marie Vichova Millikan, a coach and ISCI director of skating, assists Shay Hooper, 9, of Zionsville.

director and coach is a 1968 Olympian from Czechoslovakia, Marie Vichova Millikan. After skating in the Olympics, Milikan’s career took her around the world with Holiday on Ice. She landed in the United States in 1970 and has been in Carmel the majority of the time coaching and mentoring skaters.

The club does more for its members than help them learn how to skate or put on performances. It aims to build relationships

and helps members gain confidence.

“Our club is very different. It welcomes you and makes you feel great,” Katie O’Daniel, 13, said. “It’s like if you’ve had a bad day, we all help each other have a good day. We always are with each other and know each other. Basically, we are a bunch of sisters with one home, the rink.”

Spring Cleaning Hacks from: Sears Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning Mother Nature is finally showing us that she can read the calendar and Spring is upon us. As you start your Spring cleaning, here are some helpful tips from Sears Carpet and Duct Cleaning.

1. Cleaning up your window sills is a snap. Take an old cardboard paper towel or toilet paper roll and attach it to the end of your vacuum hose. You can cut the end of the paper roll to match the ridges in the bottom of the window. You can even use a piece of paper in a cone to hit those tiny corners.

2. Have a Swiffer handle but no refills? Use an old sock to cover the base. When you are done you can throw it into the wash and reuse. The sock works both dry and wet.

3. Bathroom exhaust fans attract dust. Use an aerosol can of air to spray into the fan while it is running. This will break loose the dust and suck it out the vent.

4. Is your showerhead clogged with calcium deposits? Take a ziplock bag, fill it half full with vinegar and close it around the showerhead with a rubber band. Let it sit for an hour and magically, the shower head will be spraying smoothly again.

Wipe it down with a paper towel or a microfiber towel to remove excess vinegar 5. Have some stickers on finished wood? Mix half cooking oil and soda water and brush it onto the stickers and let it sit for 5 minutes. They should peel right off. Then clean with a wood cleaner like Murphy’s oil soap.

6. Use a new tennis ball to scrub shoe scuffs off of a painted wall.

7. Cleaning a cheese grater can be a painful proposition with soap and water. Grate a raw potato before washing. The hardness of the potato will help take the leftover bits off the blades.

8. Oil stains can be removed from concrete driveways and concrete floors with Coca Cola.

Pour it on, let it sit for 5 minutes and rinse it off. If the stain is particularly stubborn, repeat.

9. A cloudy drinking glass can be cleared up with vinegar and paper towels. Or, for particularly cloudy glasses you can mix vinegar with dawn detergent and apply like a gel. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse clean.

10. If a glitter bomb exploded on a table or floor, Use Play Dough to pick it up. Just spread over the spill and the glitter will stick to the Play Dough.

11. White plastic cutting boards can be brightened with a 50/50 mixture of bleach and water.

Let it soak for an hour then clean. It should be a white as new. Wooden and Bamboo cutting boards can be cleaned with a half lemon and coarse salt. Use the lemon like sponge and rub the salt across the surface, then rinse.

Sears Carpet and Ducts cleaning can clean hardwood floors, tile and grout as well as carpet.

We also do deep cleaning of air ducts, dryer vents and provide indoor air quality products that reduce dust, smells and germs throughout the home.

Sculptures - Arts & Design District and City Center Sculpture

City employee puts atelier training to the test refurbishing Carmel’s iconic sculptures

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel might be best known for its proliferation of roundabouts, but its collection of lifelike sculptures may be a close second.

The city has spent $1.3 million to inCOVER STORY stall 15 sculptures by J. Seward Johnson in the Arts & Design District and at Carmel City Center since 2005. With such a collection, city leaders decided it would be best to train their own expert to keep the statues in pristine condition.

For Talia Ariens, the timing couldn’t have been better.

She had recently graduated from the Herron School of Art + Design as a printmaking major and was looking for any job she could find in a local gallery to get her foot in the door.

That’s when she heard about the unique job opening in the City of Carmel’s Streets Dept. “(Restoring statues) is definitely not something I would’ve seen myself doing,” said Ariens, a 27-year-old Plainfield resident.

Ariens has worked part-time for the city for approximately one year. Her duties include typical tasks for a laborer, such as watering plants and picking up trash. But she’s among an elite group qualified to refurbish the sculptures, a certification that took a week in New Jersey to attain.

World’s second-largest collection Carmel’s most iconic statues were designed by J. Seward Johnson, a New Jersey-based artist whose work is featured in private collections and museums in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. He initially focused on creating art of everyday activities but also has sculpted movie icons and scenes from paintings.

Carmel has the second-largest collection of Seward Johnson sculptures in the world, right behind the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, N.J., which has 20 pieces. Located on the former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds, the Grounds for Sculpture is a short walk from the Seward Johnson Atelier, which manages the sales and maintenance of Seward Johnson sculptures.

Because Carmel’s sculptures are outside, they’re constantly exposed to weather and the public. They receive minor touch-ups each year, but after approximately a decade they must be stripped down and repainted to stay in top condition. Originally, the atelier prohibited anyone but its own staff members from doing maintenance on Seward Johnson statues, but City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely said Mayor Jim Brainard negotiated an exception to allow for a Carmel city employee to be trained to do it.

The city has sent three employees to the atelier to receive training. Most recently, Carmel spent $3,826 to send Ariens to Hamilton, N.J., to learn the intricacies of maintaining Carmel’s sculptures. She is one of two remaining trainees on staff and was the first Carmel employee to completely strip the paint from the sculptures and start anew.

During her week in New Jersey, she learned everything from preparing the sculptures for a new coat of paint to adding fine details, such as faint blue veins on a hand. At the atelier, she practiced some of the skills on a sculpture of Marilyn Monroe, a Seward Johnson piece not in Carmel’s collection.

“You use an airbrush tool, so it’s a lot like doing makeup,” Ariens said. “You make it look more realistic.”

‘Everybody knows’ Ariens got to put her refurbishing skills to the test for the first time in late January when the “First Ride” sculpture was temporarily removed to make room for the expansion of the Monon Greenway (the policeman sculpture just north of the Monon recently had been refurbished after being struck by a car). In March, the city moved its “Unconditional Surrender” sculpture featuring an iconic sailor and nurse kissing, to the maintenance facility to be repainted.

Ariens works alongside Shelby Hobbs, her friend and roommate who has been with the streets department for

approximately four years. They enjoy the challenge of repainting the sculptures, but they have fun completing the little touch-ups done on-site, too, often drawing stares and questions from the public.

“If they see us working, they’re welcome to come talk to us,” Hobbs said, adding the public is encouraged to touch and interact with the statues — when they’re dry, of course.

Ariens is originally from Brookville, Ind., near Cincinnati, and she said many people there are aware of Carmel’s sculptures. She enjoys telling friends and family that she is responsible for restoring them.

“They’re out for everybody to see, which is cool. It’s not like they’re hiding in a gallery,” Ariens said. “This is out here on the street, so everybody knows what these statues are.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker America’s first president, George Washington, once said, “It is far better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

Although Washington made himself sound a bit like one who enjoys his own companionship a fair amount, he does remind us of a pair of important truths. First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. And second, we should work hard to ensure that we can always find good company. Today, we are awash in non-human entertainments with which to interact.

Some of them in the technology world even work to convince us, if we are willing to suspend our disbelief for a moment or two, that we are interacting with other people rather than some highly developed software or device.

Still, isn’t human interaction key? Even in a world filled with technology, don’t we need, perhaps crave, the complex and unpredictable company of our fellow human beings?

Enter the community leadership development organizations. Big players include Boone County Leadership (November application deadline); Marion County’s Stanley K. Lacy Leadership series (early March 2019); and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy (end of May). Each of these, through rigorous application processes, selects a diverse but cohesive group of young, wouldbe community leaders to spend most of the year learning together about how our communities are built, run and held together.

These folks are tutored for the inevitable time when they will take the reins in constructing the road to our future. Interested?

READER’S VIEW Changes seem contrary to mission Editor, Thank you for your ongoing coverage of the high-ability program changes under consideration by Carmel Clay Schools. I am a father of two such kids in Carmel and, like hundreds of other parents, I have serious concerns about the new classroom model that has been proposed.

The recent article authored by Ann Marie Shambaugh (“Parents unite against highability program changes”) was thoughtfully written and truly reflective of the concerns being expressed.

Having reviewed the Total School Cluster Grouping program information available through the CCS website, I am in disbelief that this new model is being sold as a means of “reducing the range of achievement levels in each classroom.”

For the high-ability kids, who are currently grouped into high-ability classrooms and taught by dedicated high-ability

teachers, how can this possibly be true?

I have yet to meet a parent in Carmel that is opposed to high standards and a rigorous curriculum for all students, regardless of ability level. I also believe that reducing the academic achievement gap between kids who are labeled highability and those that aren’t is a worthy goal. However, doing so at the expense of the high-ability program strikes me as contrary to the stated mission of CCS – which is to “provide opportunities for all students to realize their potential.” Surely, we can all agree that kids with disabilities and special needs are deserving of teachers, curriculum and a classroom structure that will fulfill this mission.

Why should kids labeled ‘high-ability’ be treated any differently?

Thanks again for your coverage of this very important issue.

David Hall, Carmel

It’s a miracle! I returned home from a professional development weekend to a house and a family which both had their shtick together! Woohoo!

HUMOR Indeed, this is rarely the case when I go out of town.

A typical homecoming is accompanied by some choice vocabulary on my part and a swarm of fruit flies over the kitchen sink.

The fridge/pantry will resemble a Walmart on the eve of the apocalypse, and at least one kid will have missed a practice or an appointment. It goes without saying that absolutely no dishes or laundry will have been done and that the possibility of discovering dog poop on some carpeted portion of the main floor is high.

But when I walked in last night, I was greeted with a “Hi, Mom” and a beautifully uncluttered countertop. The dryer was actually running and there were two, count them, two, unexpired gallons of milk just waiting to be enjoyed. My husband, Doo, reassured me that Tiny Dancer had made it to rehearsals and a scheduled sleepover, and that a son had successfully taken his ACT. Doo had even been in communication with our other daughter who was competing in the color guard nationals in Ohio (point to Doo on that one. I may have forgotten. In my defense, though, I had an entire hotel room, with a king-sized bed, to myself!).

So, instead of me passive-aggressively berating everyone while ridding the dining room table of shoes, backpacks and miscellaneous hair accessories – typically the opening scene of “Mommy’s Home” – I calmly and lovingly greeted my dear family.

For once, I was happy to be back. Truly a miracle! Peace out.

Endorsing Pauley

READERS’ VIEWS

VIEWS

Current in Carmel

Editor, Please allow me to share with you why I am endorsing Christine Pauley, who is running for Hamilton County Council District 4 in the primary election May 8.

She is honest, hard-working, professional and sincere. Prior to her present elected full-time office, she was with Raytheon Defense Systems. Christine is experienced with government contracts, finances and budgets well over $131 million dollars. She has a strong business background.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is her church home. She has three adult children.

I forgot to add above all, she has common sense!

Christine is an advocate for public accountability to the citizens of Carmel and will be for the citizens of Hamilton County. She is an outstanding public servant.

To admire a person’s work ethic and intelligence as well as a wonderful friendship is the reason I wholeheartedly endorse Christine Pauley for Hamilton County Council.

Jane Reiman, former mayor of Carmel PS. Please vote Tuesday, May 8.

Glynn not part of elite establishment Editor, I humbly request you share with your readers reasons I will be voting for Fred Glynn for Hamilton County Council.

Fred is the real deal. I first met him four years ago when he knocked on my door asking for my vote for his initial term as Hamilton County councilman. Imagine, a candidate actually meeting voters face to face with a personal appeal.

Now, if Fred had been part of the elite establishment he could have leaned back and let the donations of the entrenched power structure flood the county with large signs and radio and TV ads.

Fred’s opponent is apparently doing just that; the endorsements of Sue Maki by all the mayors and many current and former elected officials and contractors doing business with the county raises a red flag for me. I very much doubt

Sue will knock on my door.

Why are all these power brokers so eager to see Fred defeated? Are they afraid he may impede or block their access to the money we, the taxpayers, work so hard to earn?

Afraid they should be, as Fred has been the voting taxpayers’ friend on the county council the past four years, the last of which he ably served as council president.

Fred Glynn is the owner of a commodity rarely seen these days, the heart of a civil servant, volunteering his time on behalf of us, the taxpayers. Fred has been my, and your, watchdog on the council, ensuring essential services and improvements take place but without the fluff that wastes taxpayers’ money. Examples are his watchful eye on the county jail expansion and mass transit boondoggles that could open into a bottomless pit for taxpayers.

John T. Curran, Carmel

Three criteria required for Hamilton County Council Editor, As I said when I decided not run for a third term for county council, I would support candidates, financially and otherwise, who share what I believe to be the things most important to the taxpayers of Hamilton County. To that end, I believe there are many things to consider, but to me they can be framed into three criteria: 1. Does this person have a track record of showing the backbone to stand up for what is right, even in the face of adversity?

2. Has this person proven to be a true conservative?

3. When elected, will this official be beholden only to the taxpayers of Hamilton County?

I truly believe that Christine Pauley has checked “yes” to all three boxes. That is why I am supporting her for Hamilton County Council District 4, my present seat.

Respectfully, Paul Ayers Hamilton County Council District 4

Money for sale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I was a kid, I collected coins. I’d stuff a handful in my pocket and jangle my way down to the store to buy HUMOR candy, or I’d get bank wrappers in assorted colors and carefully count out the 40 quarters or the 50 dimes required to fill a roll, which I’d save for larger purchases.

The thrill never wore off for me — until recently. A container in my office held the collection of the past few years, which would be used toward an upcoming vacation. I took the sealed jar into my bank, assuming the teller would toss my hard-earned change into a high-tech coin counter, then sweeten my bank account with this windfall. Instead, I got the bad news: “Mr. Wolfsie, we can count this for you, but we’ll have to subtract 7 percent for administrative costs and wear and tear on our counting machine.”

“You’re going to charge customers to put money into your bank? Are people that dumb?”

“Apparently. That’s why it’s called chump change.”

I just dumped the money on my carpet

and counted a total of $432.50. Now, I knew exactly how much change I had, but I was in the identical predicament I was in before I added it up. I knew what I had. But the bank wasn’t going to trust me.

One option was using the Coinstar machine at the supermarket. They charge 9 percent, but you can get all your money back if you take it in the form of a gift certificate to a restaurant. Nope: I was looking forward to using that cash for a romantic meal and a fine bottle of wine in Italy, not 25 fried catfish specials at MCL. I wondered if I could sell the money on Craigslist or eBay. But how would I word the ad? $432.50 for sale. $410.00 or best offer.* *In fair condition; some scratches and smudges. Hand-counted. Cash only.

I tried to convince my bank manager to count it for free. No luck. And to make matters worse, I got a parking ticket. The meter had expired.

Naked Tchopstix to open in May

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Some new twists on classic Asian fare will soon be heading to Carmel. Naked Tchopstix owner David RESTAURANT Lee recently announced the opening of two new Naked Tchopstix restaurants, one in Indianapolis and one in Carmel at 365 W. 116th St. The Carmel location was previously pizza restaurant Coalition Pizza + Wine. According to Lee, the location’s large pizza oven was one of its main selling points.

“It’s a huge oven, so I’m trying to incorporate that as much as I can,” Lee said. “We’re going to have Asian pizza, chicken teriyaki pizza or seafood pizza or Korean barbeque pizza and some vegetarian foods, something a little different.”

Lee said the vibe of Naked Tchopstix changes from lunch to dinner. Diners can expect a casual lunch experience and a slightly more formal dinner dining experience.

“We are a sit-down restaurant, and we will serve beer and wine and also Asian sake at dinnertime,” Lee said. “At lunchtime,

because it’s a small place, we do have some opportunities for grab-and-go.”

In addition to sushi, Asian pizza, tempura and other meal options, Lee said his favorite Naked Tchopstix dish has always been the Dolsot Bibimbap, which features hot rice in a stone pot with vegetables.

“Vegetables, like Japanese yellow radish, spinach, shiitake mushrooms and celery, are all surrounded by the rice,” Lee said.

“While they’re eating it, the bottom part of the rice cooks, so there’s a crunchy part at the bottom.”

Lee expects the Carmel restaurant will open in early May.

What are spots in my vision?

Commentary by Matthew Clark Looking up at the sky, elated to have made it through another tough Indiana winter, you swat at a bug flying EYE CARE past your head. The bug is unbothered, for it’s not a bug at all, but a floater. If you don’t know what that is, great! You’re one of the lucky ones. If you do have floaters, you know they can be downright maddening.

Floaters, as the name eloquently suggests, are usually just debris floating around inside the eye. The most common floaters are from a common condition called vitreous degeneration. The vitreous, a gellike solution inside the eye, condenses as we age to form clumps and strands. These clumps create shadows on the retina, causing you to see that ever-evasive bug or cobweb. Nearly everyone gets vitreous degeneration eventually, but it occurs earlier in nearsighted eyes.

Although floaters are usually a benign finding, they can be a symptom of various

Do you know if you have dense breasts?

Most women don’t know, unless they have had a screening mamPREVENTION mogram report.

Dense breast tissue isn’t related to a woman’s overall body size, breast cup size or how ‘lumpy’ the breasts feel on self-breast exam. Breast tissue density is determined on the mammogram image.

So, what is breast density? The breasts are composed of fatty tissue and milk-duct gland tissue. Some women have mostly fatty tissue and some women have mostly milk-duct gland tissue. Those that have mostly fatty tissue do not have dense breasts. Those who have mostly milk-duct gland tissue do have dense breast tissue.

Dense breast tissue is extremely common. In fact, 50 percent of women who go for a screening mammogram have dense breast tissue. Indiana law requires women with dense breast tissue who undergo screening mammogram to receive a mammogram report informing them that they have dense breast tissue.

Why does this matter? Because the dens-

er the breasts are, the harder it is for the mammogram to find a breast cancer hiding in the dense breast tissue. Mammograms can be less accurate in women with dense breasts because sometimes the breast tumors are indistinguishable from the dense breast tissue.

What can be done about this? Find a better test to distinguish breast cancer from dense breast tissue.

Abbreviated breast MRI (screening breast MRI), or AB-MRI, is a new, game-changing technology that improves breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue. AB-MRI is painless and quick – takes less than 10 minutes – and the results are superior to digital mammography. Compared to mammography, which detects 5 to 6 cancers per 1,000 patients, AB-MRI is an improvement that can detect 15 cancers per 1,000 patients.

Better tests mean better outcomes for patients. That’s why it matters.

sight-threatening conditions like retinal detachments or hemorrhages. You should have your floaters checked that same day if they suddenly increase in number, or if they’re accompanied by flashes of light or blurred vision. Retinal tears and detachments are treatable, but highly time-sensitive. Once your floaters have been given the “all-clear,” you shouldn’t worry about them. In fact, you’ll do anything you can to ignore them.

Some patients’ floaters are just a part of their everyday lives, never trailing too far from their central vision. Every eye doctor has a few patients who have to pause when reading the eye chart to let their floater pass by. The tough truth is that there is nothing we can do about this debris, but take comfort in the fact that they do tend to settle and become less disturbing with time.

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase set for May 20

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alexandra Manuel always looks forward to the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase.

DANCE “It’s nice to get to show your friends and family what you’ve been working on the whole year,” Manuel said. “It’s nice to perform the piece one last time.’’

The Carmel resident will perform her solo piece in the Paquita at the Carmelbased IBC’s Spring Showcase, set for 3 p.m. May 20 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 650 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis. Manuel, 14, took first place in the classical and contemporary categories for her juniors group at the Youth American Grand Prix regional competition in Carmel in March.

“The second act is all the competition pieces, where’s it’s classical and contemporary,” IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said. “It’s a great opportunity to see a lot of the rising talent.”

Carmel resident Quinn Starner, 15, earned first in contemporary and second in classical at the YAGP regional.

“I love showing my friends and family what I’ve been working on all year with my classmates,” she said. “We’ve shown how we’ve all improved over the year and how we ended.”

Starner said her classical technique has improved the most. Her contemporary dance has improved as well. “(Contemporary instructor) Sergey (Sergiev) has helped me a lot,” Starner said.

The first act will feature fairy tales, such as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Three Little Pigs.” That will be for the dancers ages 3 to 8 years old.

“We have costumes that are created special for the show,” IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall said.

There will be new choreography for the approximately 45-minute Act 1. The second act, approximately one hour, will feature upper level dancers who will perform some of their award-winning works from international ballet competitions. Indiana

Ballet Conservatory took first place in the Paquita in the American Dance Company/ Youth International Ballet Competition in St. Petersburg, Fla., in March.

There will be a special piano performance arranged and performed on stage

by Anatoly Morozov, a 2014 Carmel High School graduate, that will include popular music from “La La Land,” “Westworld” and Vivaldi & Tierson. Yakovleva-Randall will provide original choreography for the piece.

“I think it will be about different women characters,” Yakovleva-Randall said.

There will be a piece that IBC performed with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir in

March.

“The response at the Hilbert (Circle Theatre) was incredible,” Okamoto said. “We want to continue to do events like this.

We’ll be doing an event in Cincinnati with ICC. Then, hopefully, with our ’Nutcracker.’

ICC is on the Butler campus and works with the Butler Ballet, but we feel like we can pull them in for a few of our projects.”

The Scottish Rite Cathedral is a new performance venue for IBC. “It’s the first time we’ve done it at Scottish Rite,” Okamoto said. “The Cathedral is a fantastic backdrop.”

Tickets are $25. For more, vist indianaballetconservatory.org.

ATI presents Dickens’ work

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Harli Cooper fully embraces her two roles in her first Actors Theatre of Indiana production of “The Mystery of MUSICAL Edwin Drood.”

“The idea is so fun,” Cooper said. “The whole premise is a troupe of actors putting on a show so everyone has two roles.”

The roles of Rosa Bud and Diedre are quite different.

The musical, written by Rupert Holmes, is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel, which he was working on when he died. ATI presents the show from April 27 to May 13 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“It’s a murder mystery and we don’t know who did the murder officially but some literacy critics have tried to figure it out,” Cooper said. “But the premise of our show is it’s a troupe of actors putting on a show. Because it’s actors putting on a show, the acting part of it is so melodramatic, it’s ridiculous. We’re cracking each other up in rehearsals. It’s going to be so much fun. I’m so excited for audiences to see it because everyone in the cast is just brilliant.”

“Everyone kind of hemmed and hawed,” Cooper said. “I figured I’m one of the younger people in the cast, so I figured I’m more in the social media generation anyway. So, I volunteered to take it on.”

Cooper, who turns 27 May 10, said she wants to increase ATI’s social media presence with the playful posts.

Mark’s take: Take a cool, casual and hip restaurant, throw in a superb menu and you’ll have a good idea of what Ale Emporium is. This is the place to go for catching the big games, hanging out with friends or just an evening on the town. The best part, though, is the loaded menu. Appetizers, burgers, specialty pizzas and wings are just a few of the items you’ll want to try.

There’s also an amazing list of wines and craft beers.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel master bathroom expansion Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: Located in the Valleybrook neighborhood of Carmel, this 1980s home had a master bathroom that had never been updated. The owners were looking for a way to make it more functional.

Your Backyard is Waiting...

The goal for the master bathroom was to gain square footage and create a functional design for the owners to better utilize the space.

1. The first major change came from expanding the bathroom into the master closet, allowing for an open floor plan.

2. The additional space was used to incorporate a large double vanity with all new cabinetry and countertops. A tower was added between each vanity for additional storage.

3. The additional space also allowed for a large custom tile shower with frameless glass and three shower heads.

4. Another large change came from removing the decked tub and replacing it with a freestanding tub. Accent tile flooring around the new tub created a focal point and made the space appear more open.

5. A new lighting plan and new flooring finished off the master bathroom design.

After

Your Backyard BEFORE PROBLEMS is Waiting...

TheYour existing master bathroom was small, Backyard

Create Create YOUR DREAM. Create YOUR DREAM. Create YOUR DREAM. Create Your Backyard

and the floorplan didn’t function well for the owners. The single vanity lacked proper storage and countertop space. The existing, prefabricated shower was small, while the large decked tub dated the space and took up a lot of space, making the room appear smaller.

Contrary contranyms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Let’s think about “Lord of the Rings” for a minute (and all word nerds rejoiced!).

Remember Sméagol/ GRAMMAR GUY Gollum? Whether you read Tolkien’s three-part epic or you watched it on the big screen (or both), Sméagol is an unforgettable character. He can turn from endearing and sweet to greedy and vengeful within the same breath. Today, we’re going to look at the verbal equivalent of Sméagol: contranyms.

A contranym is a word that has multiple meanings, one of which is diametrically opposed to another.

Here’s an example of a contranym: left.

Left can mean either departed or remaining. Depending on your sentence, you could end up left in the dark (see what I did there?). If Frodo leaves the other hobbits to go back to the Shire, who’s left?

Depending on your definition of “left,” the answer is either Frodo or the other hobbits. Sneaky little hobbits!

“Throw out” is another tricky contranym. It could either mean to dispose of or to present for consideration. In the

case of our hobbit friends in their journey to destroy the “one ring to rule them all,” throw out could change the outcome of the story depending on how it’s used. On one hand, the hobbits could throw out (dispose of) the ring into the molten lava of Mount Doom, thus fulfilling their mission. Alternatively, what if Sam threw out (presented for consideration) an idea in which the group of hobbit friends instead kept the ring so they could turn invisible whenever they wanted to sack Gandalf’s firework collection? Contranyms can really change the story.

I can think of an array of other contranyms. Some include dust, oversight, custom, buckle, bolt, refrain and trim.

We’re probably much more familiar with synonyms, homonyms and antonyms.

When we stumble on such a unique type of word like a contranym, it really can become something precious—just like the One Ring.

Biltmore House near Asheville, N.C. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of Biltmore Estate Commentary by Don Knebel Asheville, a picturesque city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, is famous for its eclectic citizenry. A popular T-shirt proclaims, “If you’re too TRAVEL weird for Asheville, you’re too weird.” The Biltmore Estate, Asheville’s most popular tourist attraction, epitomizes the ostentatious materialism many of its residents seek to avoid.

George Washington Vanderbilt II was the grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made a huge fortune in railroads and steam boats. As a young man, George became fond of Asheville, then a small mountain town. When his father died in 1885, George decided to use his inheritance to build a summer house near Asheville. For what he described as his “little mountain escape,” he assembled a 125,000-acre site south of town from about 700 individual parcels, many of them wooded. He named the property the Biltmore Estate in honor of Bildt, his family’s ancestral village in Holland.

George Vanderbilt began building his house in 1889. When completed six years later, the house had 250 rooms occupying more than 4 acres of floor space. The Châteauesque exterior is constructed of Indiana limestone, but most of the furnishings and interior elements originated in Europe.

Ordinance Z-632-18 NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS CARMEL, INDIANA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE Z-632-18 Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of the City of Carmel and Clay Township, Hamilton County, Indiana, that the proper legal officers of the City of Carmel will meet at their regular meeting place, Council Chambers, Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032, at 6:00 p.m. on Monday the 7th day of May, 2018, to consider the following: Petition to Rezone 4.71 acres located at 969 N. Range Line Road from the B3/Business District within the Range Line Road Overlay District to the C-2/Mixed Use District. The property is also identified by tax parcel ID number 16-10-19-00-00-023.001. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission and identified as Docket No. 18020018 Z. Taxpayers appearing at the meeting shall have the right to be heard.

Christine Pauley, Clerk-Treasurer

With 35 bedrooms and 43 bathrooms, the house is the largest in the U.S., about four times the size of the White House.

In the early 1900s, faced with increased costs of maintaining his estate, George sold 87,000 acres of land to the U.S. for use as a national forest.

During the Great Depression, the Vanderbilt family opened the Biltmore Estate to the public, hoping tourists would come to hard-hit Asheville. The idea worked. Visitors soon began arriving from around the world, some deciding to stay. Today, the Biltmore Estate draws about 1.5 million visitors annually, and George Vanderbilt’s descendants employ more than a thousand of Asheville’s delightful residents.
