The Carmel Clay School Board is considering taking on new debt and refinancing old debt to capitalize on the favorable rates in the education current bond market – all without raising the current tax rate.

The move is possible because of the refinancing savings, a projected increase in assessed valuations in the coming years for properties throughout Carmel and a window of opportunity in terms of the district’s debt payment schedule. In fact, the district’s tax rate could even decline.

The board has scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. May 19 to discuss the possibility of refinancing more than $26 million in 2005 First Mortgage Bonds that had been used for the construction for West Clay Elementary School. Asst. Supt. Roger McMichael said the move could end up saving about $1.3 million over the life of the bonds.

McMichael said that refinancing the bonds was part of an overall plan to manage the debt service tax rate over the next 10 years.

The district also would like to borrow an additional $6 million to cover routine school maintenance and upgrade costs.

“We’re not anywhere close to a panic situation,” McMichael said. “If we don’t move forward with this, what happens? Nothing catastrophic.”

The loan is necessary to cover budget shortfalls, the district said. Its capital projects fund has lost $3.3 million because of the state circuit breaker law and the reductions in assessed value to residential property during the recent economic downturn. In addition, $1.7

million of the fund’s money was used to purchase land for a potential new school west of the proposed Silvara development at 116th Street and Spring Mill Road.

The land was approved for purchase by the school board at its November 2012 meeting on an installment land contract from Scott Jones, the creator of ChaCha. The largest of the maintenance projects include a $1.7 million replacement of the Mohawk Trails Elementary School roof, $850,000 in technology network upgrades and a $775,000 replacement of the Smoky Row Elementary School HVAC system.

“I think they’re needed so that Carmel schools can continue to maintain these facilities in a responsible manner, and in a manner this community is accustomed to and expects,” McMichael said.

But the maintenance projects pale in comparison to the larger costs associated with major renovations likely needed for Carmel, Cherry Tree, Orchard Park and Smoky Row elementary schools between 2019 and 2023. That’s because they would’ve had no major renovations done in the past thirty years at those points.

To accommodate those, the district would like to acknowledge that it could need to bond for $20 million in 2019. And even then, the tax rate would still be projected to decline.

McMichael said that the current debt service tax rate is $0.32, and that with the new borrowing the rate would still decline to an estimated $0.28 over the next 10 years.

The first series of bonds are projected to eventually total $6.3 million in debt with interest factored in and they would be repaid within three years.

Vote to support student’s Google drawing

Quite the windfall

Everyone in Carmel has the chance to help vote for Forest Dale Elementary School fourth-grader Connor Heagy’s artwork to be a featured Google logo on the search engine’s homepage. Connor’s “doodle,” called The Trashformer, was recognized as the State of Indiana winner and it was inspired by a contest theme of: “If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place.” Everyone at his school received a T-Shirt with his winning design on it. The national winner will have his or her doodle featured on the Google homepage. That student also will be awarded a $30,000 college scholarship to be used at a school of his or her choice, a trip to the Google headquarters in California for the final awards ceremony on May 21, a Google Chromebook computer, an Android tablet and a T-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it. There’s also an added incentive for Carmel residents to vote. The winner’s full-time school will also be awarded with a $50,000 Google for Education grant toward the establishment or improvement of a computer lab or technology program with Chromebooks for Education or tablets with Google Play for Education. Find a link to vote at www. currentincarmel.com.

Five weeks ago the city’s bond consultants said they hoped that by refinancing about $152 million in old debt, they could save the city about $3 million. When the city passed resolutions allowing the refinancing, the estimate was $5 million in savings. But when the bonds actually hit the market, the favorable results yielded $7.9 million in net savings. The effort was no doubt bolstered by a recent bump Standard & Poor’s gave to the Carmel Redevelopment Authority’s when it raised the agency’s local income tax bond rating from “AA-” to “AA” on April 24 and affirmed the City of Carmel’s general bond rating at “AA+” as part of a financial assessment. Analysts said the upgrade was based on improved debt service coverage, growing county option income tax revenues and the strength of the underlying economy. Read more at www.currentincarmel.com.

Teacher established lasting legacy

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com Carmel High School has experienced significant growth since the late 1970s in all areas, including the performing arts.

And Carmel High School’s education own Ann Conrad has played a significant role in the programs’ development.

But the school’s choral director and performing arts teacher is retiring at the end of the school year after 38 years of influence.

After being hired right out of college, Conrad said there were 16, 18 and 30 students in each choir her first year with CHS. Now, there are more than 500 students involved in the choral department.

“The principal (at the time, Dale E. Graham) was a supporter for everything at the school, especially the arts.” Conrad said. “The administration gave us an open door to grow. They gave us the permission that we needed.”

Since then, the program has been growing and earning more success with each year.

Some of Conrad’s favorite accomplishments include producing musicals and putting on shows and the Holiday Spectacular. That’s not to mention the performances in Europe, California, the Caribbean and many more places around the world.

“For me, personally, the biggest pleasure I have is that not all the emphasis is on the top groups. We have seen quality in all our other groups, and all of our groups are special,” she

said. “Everyone’s voices are beautiful and everyone is proud of what they do from freshman to the most advanced.”

And it wasn’t just the students who did all the learning in Conrad’s classroom. She said even she learning discipline, time management and organizational skills.

“I learned how to teach by working with amazing teachers. I learned a lot about music like technical things they never teach you in college.” She said, “I learned everything you learn at your first teaching job, but I just kept going at the same place.”

“Try to find out what a special place CHS is.

It will take a little time because you do have to look past your own classes, but learn what the department and the school has to offer.”

Pint Room offers many choices

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

When the Pint Room officially opened April 28 at West Main Street and 1st Ave. NW, it gave craft-brew devotees a place now open to call their own in downtown Carmel.

With a 124 craft brews on tap – 45 to 50 of which are from local brewers – people might feel overwhelmed at the sheer array of possibilities.

So that’s why the owners are offering special 4.5 oz. glasses that cost $1-$2 so that people can get a taste of something new without the need to buy an entire flight.

And beer isn’t the new restaurant’s only attraction. Co-owner Derek Rapkin said The Pint Room aims to offer “five-star bar food.” It offers Kobe beef in all its burgers and even employs Executive Chef Ryan Sunderland to ensure its menu offerings are all high-quality.

“Everything is made fresh in-house,” Rapkin said, noting that the menu will also vary by season so that it’s always new.

He also doesn’t want families to be deceived by the name and think the restaurant is only a bar.

“We don’t just attract the hipsters and craftbeer people. It’s family oriented, too,” Rapkin said.

The Pint Room even goes so far as to offer a kids’ menu, and Rapkin said no one will be looked at as weird for coming in with their kids.

The restaurant is planning two areas for

Your

outdoor seating. The first would be similar to the setup that Muldoons employs across Main Street and would require eliminating two parking spaces on the east side of the building. The second would be a patio that caters more to adults on the interior of the Sophia Square building.

Rapkin said he is hopeful to have both implemented sometime this summer.

While beer is the specialty, The Pint Room also offers unique attributes like liquor infusions and a Sunday buffet-style brunch. And with more than 40 bars stools and 29 tables, there’s likely space for everyone.

And Rapkin said that even the television offerings are negotiable and won’t necessarily be tuned to sports.

Clinic specializes in voice disorders

We also offer smoker-charcoal grills, Primo and The Good-One. We install and service our grills.

You could say it’s one stop shopping for your voice. The Voice Clinic of Indiana is offering medical, surgical and therapeutic now open treatment for vocal issues.

After eight years with the IU hospital system, Dr. Stacey Halum decided there was no time like the present to open her own practice.

“When I came here eight years ago I was the first ENT doctor in the state who had done a laryngology fellowship – which specializes in voice disorders,” Halum said. “It’s a new specialty that has not been around long. I was at a stage in my life where I really wanted to provide a comprehensive clinic for patients. We have a neurologist come in once a week, a speech language pathologist five days a week, etc. We pretty much offer everything in one setting. It’s the way I was trained as a fellow, and I wanted to set that up for my patients.”

Halum started seeing patients in January at a temporary location and moved into the clinic space at 1185 W. Carmel Dr. in early April with a staff of six. A new laryngologist – Dr. Noah Parker – will join the staff after completing his fellowship at Harvard.

“Then we have a lot of other phenomenal people we are collaborating with to help improve patient care,” Halum said. “We want to give the immediate benefit of care all in one area – one

stop shopping so to speak was our goal.“ When it comes to vocal issues – Halum said the most common problem is hoarseness.

“Sometimes it is not that severe but at a point they have no control over their voice – it’s fading by the end of the day,” she said. “Their quality of life is affected because they can’t communicate well with their spouse or on the phone. Sometimes, in trying to compensate for voice loss, they will strain so much that they start getting throat pain and finally go to the doctor.”

The cause can range from polyps to nodules to neurological issues or even cancer.

“If you have more than two weeks of hoarseness we recommend getting seen to make sure it’s not something dangerous,” Halum said.

“I really feel that we offer the community an affordable alternative to pills and surgery for their health,” Huiras said. “What makes us special or different then typical massage business is that I do rehabilitative or medical-type massages.”

Legend’s clients need pain relief and this type of therapy helps them get back on their feet.

“I have been lucky enough to work with clients who had frozen shoulders, all kinds of foot and ankle, hip, back and neck issues as severe as complete immobility to near paralyzing pain,” he said. “And I was able to help them get to a normally functioning life again.”

Huiras said he even travels to clients that are having trouble getting back on their feet and would struggle getting to his office.

“I travel to people’s homes in the Broad Ripple, Carmel and Westfield areas,” he said. “Just call

Carmel celebrates 20 years of cultural exchange

RE-ELECT

MARY

ECKARD FOR CLAY TOWNSHIP BOARD

“The better choice to hear YOUR voice!”

PAID FOR BY ECKARD FOR CLAY TOWNSHIP BOARD, JONATHAN HUNT, TREASURER

Four officers from our Japanese sister city, Kawachinagano, enjoyed their recent visit to Carmel.

“They listened to the Carmel High School choir, saw the Miniature House Museum, played golf and ate Kentucky Fried Chicken,” said Barb Moshier, President of the Sister Cities group.

“One of the highlights was when Mayor (Jim) Brainard gave us a tour of the Palladium … the entire Performing Arts complex.”

Moshier said the four visiting officers, Aki Yamamoto, Lilia Shiba, Tamotsu Iisaka and Harumi Goto, were particularly interested in Carmel’s renown as both the best and safest suburb in the country.

In that vein, when asked how she enjoyed her visit here, Shiba said, “I had always wanted to come here, but it is hundreds … no, thousands times better than I thought.”

Barb Moshier has visited Japan 16 times since initially orchestrating a middle school and high school student exchange program between Carmel and Kawachinagano. On May 4, 1993, the two cities signed a “Declaration of Commitment to a Sister City Relationship.” The intention was to foster a relationship through programs such as education, culture, commerce and sports.

The hope is to promote better relations between the United States and Japan, and by extension, to the peace and prosperity of the world.

Kawachinagano is south of Osaka and has a population of about 110,000 people. It is the third largest city of the Osaka Prefecture in terms of land size; however, 70 percent is comprised of forested mountains, valleys and rivers.

Many exchanges have occurred between the Sister Cities during the years, including: student art exchanges, business and trade fairs and fire department personnel exchanges. One of the enduring legacies, the Japanese Garden near City Hall, was inspired by Carmel master gardener Joyce Wozniak’s suggestion. The Garden is now home to several significant artifacts shipped from Japan through the years.

On April 27, the Sister Cities enjoyed a formal dinner at Ritz Charles, with about 65 people in attendance. Jeff Worrell, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the Jan Brill Trio and Koi artist and photographer, Jerome W. Chambers. Charles Scott gave the invocation. David Russell, Mayor Brainard, Aki Yamamoto and Barb Moshier each spoke. Tom Kendall concluded with “Circle of Friendship” remarks.

Others attending the celebration dinner, to name a few, were: Liz Brainard, Ashley Ulbrecht, Mart and Donna Tutwiler, Al Wozniak, Kay Myers, Kay Scott, Mary Eckhard, Matthew Hoffman, Frances Russell, Kay Brunson, Masumi Makaio and Kay Yokoto.

Volunteers put spark in CarmelFest

OVER IT? WE UNDERSTAND.

Commentary by Jeff Worrell There is more to May than just the opening of the Carmel Farmers’ Market and the running of the 98th Indianapolis 500. Not to disparage those two beloved spring instiVOlunteerism tutions, but clearly, May also is becoming known for something much more important, (depending on who you ask).

Up to date, well-read and civic-minded Carmelites are nodding their heads in agreement, fully aware of where this column is going.

Yes, you guessed it. May is the official start of CarmelFest Spark Button season.

Don’t be too surprised. Spark Buttons have been going on sale during the month of May since 1994. That first year, it would be no exaggeration to reveal the idea to support CarmelFest fireworks with a $3, numbered lapel pin was slow to catch on. That first year, just 53 buttons were purchased.

Back in those days, a Spark Button had a unique number and you were required to look in the daily newspaper each morning, hoping your button number was printed, thus making you a winner. Today’s modern Spark Button makes every buyer a winner. No numbers. No checking the newspaper.

Each button comes with valuable coupons redeemable at Carmel merchants. It is rumored, a Spark Button purchase will net you hundreds

of dollars in valuable merchandise, thus making Spark Buttons one of the best investments you can make.

Local volunteer Jack Badger again this year heads up the Spark Button team, and he gathered with young folks of the Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council, Carmel High School Government, Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation and the Carmel Key Club.

Giving up their afternoon, Matthew Klineman, Leah Zukerman, Ryan Woock, John Armstrong, Alex Yom, Tristen Stone, Joe Seo, Leo Biette, Jason Klein, Laura Boodt, Camille Nelsen, Jordan Nelsen, Ila Badger, Shari Worrell and Jack Langston worked on stuffing coupons in thousands of bags.

Your Spark Button awaits you at the Carmel Farmers’ Market starting May 17.

Once you have filed your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed preliminary are the custodial and parenting time arrangement, possession of the marital residence, payment of child support and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.”

If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing (also referred to as a “preliminary hearing”) should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will schedule the matter to be heard and notify each party (or their attorneys) of the hearing date. Typically provisional hearings are very short and can last anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes, though there are instances where a longer hearing is needed.

Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the parties to reach an agreement on all provisional issues. If an agreement can be reached, the terms are reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship

between the divorcing parties; and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause.

In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the provisional hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing.

However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the provisional hearing, the judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until your case is resolved. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. At some point after the preliminary hearing, the parties will typically enter into negotiations on a final settlement, and if a settlement cannot be reached, prepare for the final hearing.

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, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

After dealing with her son’s diagnosis, Kathy Rokita organized a local walk to help parents cope with Angelman Syndrome

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.om First-time parents are usually excited for their kids’ milestones.

They anxiously wait for their first steps and their first words.

But for U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Indianapolis, and his wife, Kathy, the emotion went from excitement to VOlunteerism worry.

Their son Teddy was almost 2 years old, and he couldn’t even crawl. He had such little muscle mass that they saw doctor after doctor, trying to figure out what to do.

It turns out he has a rare neuro-genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome, which is often misdiagnosed as autism. “Angels,” as they are colloquially called, are usually seriously developmentally disabled. They have seizures and require lifelong care.

Kathy Rokita was told by doctors that her son would never talk.

Never feed himself. Never walk.

It appeared those first steps they were waiting for would never come. And it hit her hard.

“You find out that life isn’t going to be what you thought it was going to be,” she said. “You had all of these ideas of things you were going to get to do as a parent. Coach your kid’s team. Take them to the prom. Watch them get married. All of those things start to flash in your mind in front of you. Your kid is never going to do those things. And that’s a really hard thing to take.”

But today she is trying to turn all those “nevers” into “somedays.” Teddy, now six, can walk and feed himself. He can use limited sign language to communicate. And they aren’t finished yet.

The Rokitas are now on a mission to help others dealing with this rare diagnosis. Kathy is organizing the first ever Angelman Syndrome Foundation Walk in Indiana to raise funds and awareness. The event will be held at 9 a.m. May 17 at Carmel’s West Park, 2700 W. 116th St.

But two weeks later, Teddy started having seizures and they rushed him to the hospital.

The attending physician asked if he had ever been tested for Angelman’s. She said yes, but they were waiting on the results.

“So of course I went down to the car and got my laptop and looked it up,” she said.

When she received the confirmation she feared, she was eight and half months pregnant with her second child.

“It was not something I wanted to hear at that point in time,” she said. “It is a game changer. You fall apart and pick yourself back up and figure out what to do. I know our lives will be different, but that’s OK.”

‘He’s going to make a great impact’

‘I know our lives will be different’ During Teddy’s 9-month check-up, Kathy was concerned that her son couldn’t sit up yet. She was looking at all of her friends with babies and they were much further along than her child, but doctors just kept telling her to be patient.

“We were told, ‘He’ll probably catch up. He’s probably just a little slower. He’s a boy. Boys develop slower,’” she said.

She searched the Internet to try to find out what could be wrong. Never once did she suspect it was Angelman Syndrome, partly because she didn’t think twice about one of the symptoms: giggling. To her, he was just a happy baby.

Part of her wanted to believe the doctors. That he would just grow out of it. Part of her didn’t want to know if something was seriously wrong.

Eventually she had to know, and they got a blood test to check for about eight or nine possible disorders.

As they were going through the list, the doctor asked her if she had heard of Angelman’s Syndrome. She said no.

“He made me promise that I wouldn’t go home and Google it, and I didn’t,” she said.

hallway and Teddy started to move.

“And he’s got no walker, and it hits me. He’s going to walk this hallway,” she says, choking up in the retelling. “I’m crying. Everyone’s crying. It makes me get teary just to talk about. I think everyone gets excited when their kid takes their first steps, but probably nothing compared to just joy that I got to experience.”

After seeing Teddy’s progress, Kathy started to decide maybe she could help other parents in her situation.

“I hope my story helps others,” she said. “Maybe someone else can look and say, ‘Wait, they said my kid can’t walk, but this kid does. How can we make that happen?’”

‘I hope my story helps others’ Kathy met with physical therapists to try to systemically tackle Teddy’s issues. And the results have been inspirational.

Teddy can now hold a fork. He can climb himself up on a counter, turn on a sink faucet and run his hands under the water. He loves water. He’ll spend hours sitting in a three-foot kiddie pool outside. He can play with toys and wrestle his brothe,r Ryan.

But the biggest milestone came with an email from Teddy’s teacher.

Kathy received a video attachment in her inbox but didn’t have a chance to watch it. She went to pick up her son from his learning program when the staff excitedly told her she had to watch the video.

At the time, Teddy was using a walker to get around. He could take steps here and there but couldn’t travel far. But on this video, they threw his favorite squishy ball more than 20 feet down a

The Rokitas haven’t received much publicity about their son’s disorder. For the longest time, they didn’t want to talk to anyone about it. It was private and they were protecting Teddy.

Part of the reason Kathy wants to get involved now is because the disorder is so rare and unknown. It is estimated that one in 15,000 children are born with this disorder but it is often misdiagnosed. Compare that to autism, which affects one in 68 children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

The rarity means less funding and research. Kathy hopes to raise more funding and awareness with her walk. When she started organizing the event, advisers told her to set a conservative goal of about $9,500 in donations, but the walk has already raised more than $48,000 a week before the event.

Todd Rokita, a former two-term secretary of state and current Congressman representing Indiana’s fourth district, is also using his influence to encourage further understanding.

While he opposes Obamacare, he believes the government does play a role in medical research.

During a speech to encourage funding for the National Institutes of Health, he told members of Congress that he still believes the private sector is the most efficient way to provide medical care, but that he also believes, “there are times that the private sector cannot reasonably be expected to do the research and development needed because the issue, the Angelman Syndrome syndrome, the disease Symptoms in young children: might be so rare that it • Developmental delay is economically prohibi• Lack of speech tive from a return of in• Seizures vestment perspective.”

Kathy smiles as she looks at a picture of her son, calling him “perfect the just way he is.” She loves that he wants to hug everyone he sees, even every random stranger while shopping at Target.

“It’s just hard to have a bad day when you are around him,” she said. “I know he’s going to make a great impact on this world.”

Saying goodbye to the folks

FROM THE BACKSHOP An award that means quite a lot This is recognition richly deserved. The Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault has named Toby Stark, the executive director of Chaucie’s Place, Outstanding Advocate of the Year. Stark was chosen, according to an INCASA statement for exhibiting the qualities that “INCASA has long recognized when it comes to advocating for individuals who have experienced sexual assault and child sexual abuse: compassion for victims and survivors; responsiveness to the needs of victims and, where needed, their family members; a voice that supports victims of sexual assault and child sexual abuse; as well as educating the community about these traumatic crimes so that early recognition and reporting can occur on behalf of children and teens, while also preventing sexual assault and child sexual abuse.” Because we know Stark as an achiever on behalf of Chaucie’s Place’s clients, this award is just but hardly surprising. Jon Kizer, on behalf of Chaucie’s Place’s Board of Directors, stated, “As the leader of our center, she means so much to not only our organization, but also the kids we serve in Hamilton County and Central Indiana.” Since joining Chaucie’s Place in June 2010, Stark has led the organization’s strategic transformation into a nonprofit focused on child sexual abuse and youth suicide prevention programming. We join with INCASA in agreeing that her passion and ability to build relationships has increased awareness of the epidemic of child sexual abuse and its ongoing family and community impact. Toby, take a bow.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hearts of gold

Commentary by Terry Anker

On May 14, the American Heart Association here in Indiana will host hundreds of attendees at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis for its paramount fundraising gala, the Heart of Gold Ball. Raising more than $500,000 annually, the event funds pediatric cardiovascular research, increases awareness of childhood obesity and supports education and advocacy. But perhaps even more importantly, it brings together civic and community leaders, friends and family to spend a Saturday night out for a good cause.

These United States have long benefited from a somewhat unique approach to problem solving. We work together garnering private support, financially and otherwise, to confront the issues pressing ourselves and fellow citizens. Certainly, government has taken an ever increasing role in choosing both the priority and the intensity of allowed interest in matters of philanthropy.

But happily, most of us continue to be directly concerned in an abundance of causes dedicating much towards addressing them.

By April 21, we productive Hoosiers have earned

enough to cover the expense of our State and Federal governments for the year. While the socalled tax freedom day arrived 3 days later than it did in 2013, citizens can now focus our attentions and labor at our own pursuits. Education, housing, food and leisure are among the priorities likely to be addressed. Yet at a rate unparalleled globally, we Americans share. We give away more, in all three categories measured by The Charity Aid Foundation – time, money and support of strangers, than any country rich or poor. A significant and growing amount of our collective toil will go to the benefit of our communities.

A generous friend invited us to join the Heart of Gold Ball at his table. Inspired by his leadership, we will participate joyfully – and contribute. I suspect many of you will too – check out: www.bestheartcare.com/2011/04/26/ the-heart-of-gold-ball.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EEK “Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.”

– Elbert Green Hubbard

My husband and I have been talking at length about the death of our parents. It’s not that we’re plotting to bump humor them off in some diabolical scheme to access their life insurance policies; we’re just concerned that we don’t know what their wishes are after they die. Who gets the heirloom ring? The second house? Do they want to be buried, and if so, where? Is cremation on the table? Doo is one of six kids and I am one of five, and neither of us wants to debate these questions while we are grieving. Luckily both sets of parents are healthy, but you just never know. (Next year my folks will embark on a 31-day cruise around South America where ships sink all the time!)

Over the past month, we’ve broached the subject, to get the conversation at least started.

Our parents’ responses have been fascinating.

Both fathers were clearly uncomfortable talking about their mortality. My dad seemed particularly agitated: “Your mother’s getting everything so don’t worry about it. If we both go, you five are on your own. Figure it out.”

Then he promptly left the room. My mom on the other hand, immediately went to get a file which contains all her notes on their funeral arrangements. Yes, she has a “file.”

“People plan weddings and retirement parties.

Why can’t I plan for this?” she asked. We talked for 45 minutes on her memorial service, which is to include three eulogizers (she already has them picked out) and her signature song, Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” There is to be no urn or casket or any sad music, and we are to donate her body to the local medical school. “I taught for 33 years; there is no reason I should stop because I’m dead!” Yes, I have an awesome mom.

But when asked about “the estate,” she admitted she hadn’t thought much about it.

My parents have a will, but it hasn’t been updated in a while, and no executor has been appointed. My dad can’t understand why I should care about this. But here’s the deal. If we don’t learn their wishes until after they’re gone, then we can’t ask questions if we need clarity or context. And unfortunately, that can cause brothers and sisters to bicker, fight, or even worse, sever relationships. All because of a stupid heirloom ring? No thank you.

So we’re both going to keep pestering our parents to make some tough decisions, and more importantly, communicate those decisions to at least a couple of family members. If they want to give everything to dear Aunt Mary, so be it. They just need to tell us before they die!

Peace out.

When we invited former Miss America, author and incest survivor Marilyn Van Derbur to be the keynote speaker at our humor 2014 Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast that was presented

by NextGear Capital, we knew she would be outstanding.

But we didn’t realize she would be OUTSTANDING. Marilyn shared her story of sexual abuse at the hands of her father and her journey of healing. She offered a message of empowerment and hope. Her words educated the uneducated and unaware, and they validated those who are far too aware of this epidemic.

During her 50-minute speech to the crowd of nearly 300 people, Marilyn invited survivors of child sexual abuse to stand. She does this because she believes this action helps a survivor shed their shame and their fear; that it empowers them to continue their journey of healing. Or begin that journey.

She asked the audience, How can we expect our children to tell when we as adults don’t tell? She told that crowd that we need to stand to show children and adult survivors that they are not alone, and that they have nothing to be ashamed of. She also told everyone in the packed room that there was no right or wrong response. It was OK if a survivor chose not to stand or didn’t feel strong enough to stand. It was a powerful invitation.

And people stood.

Some people had heard Marilyn before and at that time couldn’t stand. They came to the Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast to stand.

Many stood for the first time. Many stood with co-workers and friends. Many stood before they had even told their families about their abuse.

Lives were changed that day. Conversations were started that day. Conversations between co-workers, friends and family members. Lives were changed that day.

“I am now going to start on my journey to healing from my abuse as a child and young adult.”

“I’m ready to get on with my life…”

“…I had never publicly announced that I was a victim of child abuse. …After listening to Marilyn Van Derbur, the one thing I didn’t feel was alone.

When she asked survivors to stand, I knew it was OK. I hope now that I can share this with my family. …Every journey starts with a single step.”

“I stood proud with no shame for myself and all the children who suffer sexual abuse. We need to help them be able to tell so they know they are not alone and have done nothing wrong and didn’t deserve any abuse.”

We thank everyone who joined us that very special morning. We thank you for supporting Chaucie’s Place and our prevention programs and for supporting our community as it took a collective step forward.

The opinions of ‘a redneck’

Commentary by Jason Peek

So the talk in the Main Street Barber Shop this week was and continues to be about racism and Donald Sterling, the penalized and bigoted owner of the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA. Allow me to share some of the thoughts that have been discussed, plus a little bit of opinion from a redneck. That would be me.

It’s pretty ignorant that in this day and age we live in a nation that keeps dirty little secrets about race. Have we not realized that all races have a joke or a saying about them or a cultural thing that others don’t like?

I think this is a case more than less about racism, and I’m sorry, folks, but just because you crack a joke about a culture doesn’t mean you’re a racist. It means you’re telling a joke - and there’s one for all. In fact, look what comedian Jeff Foxworthy did to my own (and his) people!

There are books about us, and also a comedy tour, and it’s all very funny.

To not want to live in a black or other neighborhood doesn’t mean you’re a racist; it just means you want to live in the midst of your culture. To judge someone just for skin color is just not intelligent. There is good and bad in all walks of life and in every race in the world, and to stereotype everyone doesn’t work.

Shop Talk

I can assure you that every redneck I know doesn’t judge his wealth by how many cars on blocks he has in his yard or finds a bug zapper and a six-pack to be quality entertainment.

I wish for this nation, and especially for someone like Don Sterling that is surrounded by other cultures, that we judge a person by his or her actions, and not by color or culture. After all, we do live in the melting pot of the world and we are all from cultures all over the world.

It’s unfortunate that not only Sterling, and also others, has been taught and raised by ignorant people. And remember, one of these people – you know, the ones that you think you know and don’t like - may be the one that saves your life one day because they care.

Judge Hughes worthy of your vote Editor, Fellow Hamilton County residents. I address this to you in support of Judge William Hughes’ bid to re-election as Judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3.

I have been an attorney for more than 30 years. I have practiced in front of Judge Hughes in cases which directly impact Hamilton County families since he became the judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3 approximately 25 years ago. In my experience, Judge Hughes is committed to using his best efforts to impartially decide disputes for the families of Hamilton County in the most difficult of circumstances, such as dissolution of marriage, child support, guardianships and child custody cases.

Judge Hughes willingly gives his time and

teaches courses in continuing family law legal education for lawyers and other judges.

I was surprised to see the letter to the editor yesterday (“Judge should have disclosed prior arrest,” April 29 edition of Current in Carmel) that stated Judge Hughes should have disclosed a DUI. Frankly, it is old news that was disclosed to the media by Judge Hughes the day after it happened in 2010. Judge Hughes was honest and open about his mistake, which is consistent with my experience with him during the past 25 years.

Experience matters in family law cases. Judge Hughes has the experience to continue to serve Hamilton County families as judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3.

Klipsch’s 2014 season offers variety, venue updates

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Music fans of all genres have a lot to look forward to this summer at Klipsch Music Center, and they can thank themselves for the upgrades and famous artists performmusic ing in the open arena in Noblesville.

Country band Rascal Flatts kicks off the summer concert series, which includes acts from country to rock to rap to ’70s groups.

“The country genre continues to become more popular and make no mistake about it, this is not your grandfather’s country music,” said Andrew Newport, general manager for North American Concerts and Live Nation.

Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban will all make stops through this summer, too.

Fans have new country artists to look forward to as well as camping in Klipsch’s campground.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting two nights of Luke Bryan on Aug. 29 and 30 and will open our on-site campground,” Newport said. “We’re also very excited to host Dierks Bently who is headlining Klipsch for the first time on Sept. 27.”

Classic rock also will be alive and rolling in Noblesville this summer.

“A bittersweet date for us this summer is with Motley Crue with Alice Cooper. While we love hosting these guys, we understand that this is their final tour,” he said. “So if you’ve ever wanted to see them, this could be your last chance to rock out with them.”

Jimmy Buffett travels with one the world’s most “enviable tailgate parties,” and Journey will appear with Steve Miller Band and Tower of Power - one of those shows where everyone will sing along every word to every song.

“KISS & Def Leppard will be stopping by on Aug. 22, and if you haven’t seen either of these bands before, you need to,” Newport said.

There are many new artists performing for the first time as well.

“We love seeing artists that are relatively new to the scene and this year will showcase One Republic, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa and the Goo Goo Dolls,” according to Newport. “Fall Out Boy is a Warped Tour alumni which will visit Indy on July 3. We always enjoyed seeing shots of our venue on Warped Roadies show that airs on FUSE TV.” And it wouldn’t be summer without Klipsch’s staple, multi-night performer Dave Matthews Band. They will be visiting at the end of June.

“We’ll be camping for two nights of DMB,” he said.

Whereas the band has toured with opening acts historically, this year the shows will be an

It’s because of the fans that we’re able to continue to bring many of the industry’s hottest acts to Indiana,” he said. “We can’t wait to open the doors to se so many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.”

Hall & Oates alive and rocking

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com For more than 40 years Daryl Hall & John Oates have been entertaining fans with such hits as “Kiss on My Lips,” “Private Eyes” and “Maneater.”

And now the duo will bring their music magic to Indianapolis at 7:30 p.m.

May 8 at the Old National Centre.

It’s been a big year for the musicians – who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - and are the number-one selling duo in music history. In 2008 Daryl Hall and John Oates were honored with the Icon Award during BMI’s 56th annual Pop Awards. The award has previously gone to such artists as the Bee Gees, Paul Simon, James Brown and Dolly Parton.

They recently released their first box set, Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates. It has four CDs containing 74 tracks - 16 of them previously unreleased.

Daryl Hall and John Oates met in 1967 at the Adelphi Ballroom in West Philadelphia where their respective bands were set to play. But a fight between members of rival high school fraternities ended the night early and had the two leaving the building in the same elevator. They discovered both attended Temple University – Hall was studying music while Oates was majoring in journalism.

They would see each other around campus and eventually became roommates.

When two members of Oates’ band were drafted at the time of the Vietnam War, he joined Hall’s

band as a guitar player. They signed in the 1970s with Atlantic and their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, yielded the Top 10 single, “She’s Gone,” which also went to number one on the R&B charts.

And, as the saying goes – the rest is history.

In the last few years they’ve concentrated on solo work - In April 2011, Oates released his solo album, Mississippi Mile, while Hall released his solo album, Laughing Down Crying in September 2011.

Hall also is host of a monthly web series - Live from Daryl’s House.

The show is sold out but seats are still available through ticket outlets. More information is available at http://oldnationalcentre.com.

‘Grace & Glorie’ offers tears and laughs

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com It’s the story of two women - one a feisty 90-year-old cancer patient who has returned home to die, the other her volunteer hospice worker grieving the death of her theatre only child. The unlikely friendship is the focus of Main Street Productions’ latest offering, “Grace & Glorie.”

“It’s the lovely story of two women from different walks of life who come together and become friends,” said director Doug Davis. “In the process they discover they have a lot in common through the tribulations they have gone through in their personal lives.”

“Grace & Glorie” – set in the Blue Ridge Mountains - features Marty Essig as Grace and Kristen Wilson as Glorie. Wilson has appeared in two other Main Street shows and is directing the upcoming production of “Diary of Anne Frank,” and she said the script touched her heart.

“It was an opportunity for me to bring a beautiful story to life,” Wilson said. “It hit home for me because I moved back here from Florida to take care of my grandmother. She is 91 and has Alzheimer’s. I wanted her to be able to stay in her home where she is comfortable. Doing this play lets me tell my story and doing something I love - acting.”

Davis said patrons can expect a really interesting night at the theater.

“It’s a neat piece – a mixture of comedy and

some drama in there. Mostly at Westfield we do comedy but this has nice mixture,” Davis said. “You are crying one minute and laughing the next.”

“I hope they go away with a new perspective on life,” Wilson said. “The script really does make you see and think about things in a different way. I would love for them to go away with a warm heart & wanting to discuss some questions that might be brought up.”

The Beef & Boards production stars Cara Statham Serber - most recently seen as Maria in “The Sound of Music” - Buddy Reeder as Bert, Eddie Curry as George Banks and local young performers Kennedy Martin as Jane Banks and Logan Sejas as Michael Banks.

While many retirees often adopt a snowbird mentality where they spend some, if not all, of their retirement in warmer Housing climates, many individuals and couples are beginning to recognize the benefits of strategically relocating to new areas for reasons other than warmth.

Hamilton County and its cities have consistently been recognized as some of the top places to live in the United States, but families and those in the middle of their career aren’t the only ones taking notice.

Retirees living on a fixed income are continuing to find creative ways to maximize their assets, and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, including Carmel, provides ample opportunities for them to stretch their dollar a little further.

One of the big draws for the Indianapolis region is the relatively low cost of living. In fact, in 2013, the Indianapolis region was nearly 10 percent below the national average for cost of living for the entire United States.

Housing prices are also well below the national average. The National Association of Realtors put the median home price nationally in 2013 at $196,900, while the Indianapolis area was nearly $60,000 less at $134,500.

For retirees living on a budget, both of these factors can greatly influence the way they live.

Paper Social Security statements are back - The Social Security Administration will resume mailing paper earnings statements to many Americans in September.

The mailed statements fell victim to budget cuts in 2011. But if you’ve signed up to view your benefits statements online, you will not get the mailed statement. AARP said the mailed earnings statements are important for many Americans, because so few people - about 11 million - have signed up to read them online. The Social Security Administration decided to reinstate mailed statements after receiving pressure from the paper industry and advocacy groups for the elderly and other Americans who do not have regular access to the Internet.

Having to spend more on groceries or a mortgage could translate into less money to spend on traveling, hobbies or other personal pursuits.

A lower cost of living will help extend the assets that have taken them a lifetime to accumulate, and, for retirees looking to downsize, the Indiana housing market provides much more bang for the buck.

Together, these considerations lead to a higher quality of life and provide retirees with additional resources to better take advantage of local amenities without having to worry about draining their retirement savings or spending outside of their budget.

One thing is for certain, successful retirement takes planning and dedication. It also requires individuals and couples to set goals for themselves regarding the type of lifestyle they want to live when they retire.

Whether they seek an active lifestyle, a peaceful destination or a mix of both, Hamilton County and the metro area provide plenty of opportunities for retirees to stretch their assets further and achieve their retirement goals.

Avoid unexpected student loan defaults - Student loan borrowers are suddenly being thrown into default when the co-signer on their loan - often a parent or grandparent - dies or files for bankruptcy. Even if they are current on their payments, some borrowers are immediately being placed in default and told to repay the loan in full because their co-signer can no longer back them financially, according to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. These so-called “auto-defaults” came to light during an analysis of nearly 3,600 student loan and student loan-related debt collection complaints submitted to the CFPB’s consumer complaint database between October 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. To avoid surprise defaults, the CFPB recommends immediately contacting your lender to request that your co-signer be released from the loan if he or she has passed away or filed for bankruptcy.

The truth about mammograms

Commentary by James Smith, MD, IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – North

While regular mammograms are a recommended part of preventive healthcare, some women delay scheduling Wellness them for a variety of reasons.

Understanding the facts – and dispelling the myths – of mammography can help relieve anxiety and shed light on why undergoing regular screening mammograms is so important.

Family history Most women diagnosed with breast cancer – nearly 85 percent – have no family history of the disease. If breast cancer does run in your family, you’re at increased risk of developing it. Talk with your doctor about your family history and any other risk factors you may have.

Age For all women, increasing age is a risk factor for breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have annual screening mammograms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests screening every two years for women ages 50 to 74.

Discuss these guidelines with your doctor. He or she can help determine, based on your medical history and personal risk factors, when and how often you should have mammograms.

Pain and discomfort

Some women put off scheduling mammograms because they’ve heard they are painful.

The test takes just a few minutes, and any discomfort you may feel is brief. To help minimize discomfort, schedule the test after your period ends when your breasts are less sensitive. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the appointment to alleviate pain.

No breast problems or lumps Mammograms can detect small tumors up to three years before they can be felt. Treatment is most effective when breast cancer is diagnosed in the early stages.

Concern about radiation While mammograms do expose women to radiation, the amount is quite low and presents little risk. Mammograms are considered safe and effective for diagnosing breast cancer early, which leads to a better chance for cure.

Be sure to see your doctor if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, thickening or discharge. In your efforts to engage in preventive care for your good health, consider the importance of regular mammograms.

Keep calm and call an interior designer Commentary by Vicky Earley So you’re ready to move beyond your DIY decorating look and on to a polished, pulled-together type of home. You would like decorating to be assured that the investment in better furnishings will not be fraught with mistakes.

You know enough to know that this is not your area of expertise. This is probably the time to call in an interior design professional.

If you have not used a designer before, this part can be quite intimidating. The fear and mystery can be enough to send a homeowner on a downward solo decorating spiral.

To make matters even more challenging, the best interior decorators are one part artist, one part business mind, and one part circus master, one part visionary and one part translator. One cannot simply do an Internet search for a “designer” and come up with a name that will fit one’s needs.

While the most obvious trait to consider is artistic ability and a sense of style, the most important element is personality. Simply put, if you don’t click, the room won’t gel.

A close bond develops during the design process so, first and foremost, the individual who is

about to step into your home has to mesh with you, your family, and your lifestyle. Trust is essential on so many levels.

Just as important, this must be a person who asks questions and listens to the answers. A good decorator should constantly probe to solicit a vision for the final product. If questions are not being posed, it is a sign that you are not the focus.

Getting referrals is critical.

Beyond gleaning names from friends and neighbors, the interview is probably the most important part of the process.

I prefer to do interviews in studio. This gives a potential client an opportunity to see the dynamics at work. If occasional chaos is troubling to a client, I know that he or she belongs with a more staid design firm.

Come prepared with questions that are relevant to your project. Be prepared to discuss a budget, and don’t be afraid to ask about the fee process.

Unless the designer selected is completely devoid of talent, the benefits will far out-weigh the cost. Just the avoidance of one mistake can be worth the entire consultation fee.

Tannery in Fes el Bali, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

Fes el Bali: Travel to a golden age Commentary by Don Knebel

At a time when much of Europe was still intellectually asleep, Fes el Bali (Old Fes) was the “Athens of Africa.” Today this travel walled city within Fes, Morocco, is the world’s largest automobile free urban area, with 9,000 twisting streets so narrow in places that loaded donkeys cannot easily pass.

Idris I founded the city of Fes el Bali in 789 AD as the capital of his new Islamic Empire. The University of Al-Karaouine, now the world’s oldest university, was established in the city in 859.

By the twelfth century, Fes el Bali had become an international center of Islamic learning and culture. Its population of 200,000 made it the largest city in the world. When Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher and physician, left Cordoba, Spain, in about 1160 because of growing tension between Jews and Muslims, he settled in Fes el Bali to continue his studies.

For Fes el Bali’s 150,000 current residents, life is not much different than it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier. Merchants in small shops still sell everything from fresh camel and goat meat on hooks to fruit and fish stacked high on tables

to pottery and clothing made by hand. Two hundred mosques still call residents to prayer. One popular shop sells rugs woven by Berbers in the nearby mountains and another sells high-end antiques in a 14th century mansion.

Tanneries producing leather using processes unchanged since the twelfth century have become symbols of Fes el Bali. Employees hand visitors mint sprigs to hold under their noses as they observe huge vats where hides, gathered daily from local slaughter houses, are tanned and colored. The mint can’t overcome the stench of the tanning agent, made from pigeon droppings and said to be the secret to the suppleness of the brightly colored leather goods sold in tannery shops.

Major construction projects are changing the face of Morocco. Fes el Bali, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, is protected against the rush of the twenty first century and provides the closest approximation we have to a time machine to Morocco’s golden age.

New landscape “triple threat” energizes lifestyles Commentary by Randy Sorrell

• Rifle & handgun indoor range • Memberships Available • State of the Art ventilation and containment systems • Classes for beginning, women & advanced shooters • Expert firearms & accessories shop • Convenient Location From IN-32, N on Dartown Rd., E on Enterprise Dr. to:

17777 Commerce Dr., Westfield, IN 317-399-7918 timsshootingacademy.com

Imagine the ideal landscape designed especially for you – packed with vibrant colors, seasonal interest and incredibly outdoors simple to maintain.

Ever heard of the “Triple Threat?” It refers to a basketball player’s stance that allows them to immediately pass, dribble or shoot. We’ve developed a landscape “Triple Threat” that brings color, seasonal interest and low maintenance together.

COLOR Green is the foundation of the landscape palette but the real personality is generated from the remaining color wheel. Massing flowering shrubs (fothergilla, potentilla, hydrangea, sweetspire) elevates drama with perennial strokes of spring flowering electric pink phlox or full sun yellow moonbeam coreopsis. A well-placed ornamental tree serves to anchor a corner with my favorites being the Serviceberry, Dogwood or Redbud and occasional Crabapple. Fall color explodes from the aforementioned shrubs and trees, too, with competing yellows, oranges and reds all merging together. It’s imperative to employ plants with multiple attributes: spring flowers, summer berry, fall color and winter interest.

SEASONAL INTEREST There are required strategies to create seasonal interest beyond flowering beauties.

Dramatic bed shapes are a huge contributor to

A stone wall and steps on a driveway provide the “triple threat” elements to improve landscaping. (Submitted photo)

winter interest as unique shapes emerge from the frost and light snow cover. Toasty ornamental grass fronds are strong performers as are simple boulder outcroppings, an occasional elegant teak bench and the general bones of the outdoor space.

LOW MAINTENANCE Sure, we all love playing in the dirt but frankly most of our schedules or aching knees don’t correlate with that passion. Planting the right plant in the right place is the key to low maintenance.

Plants that require minimal pruning – that thrive (not just survive) in difficult conditions and don’t

drink a lot – are other primary low maintenance living components.

Welcome to the new landscape “Triple Threat” for energized lifestyles that encourage luxurious outdoor living, grilling, entertaining and family dreams.

Cork flooring a comfortable, savvy design choice Commentary by David Decker Eco-friendly and full of natural health benefits, cork flooring is experiencing a growth in popularity among homeowners. And it’s easy to see why.

Let’s take a closer look at cork flooring and the basic facts indoors that you should know before installing it in your home.

Cork is a renewable resource made from tree bark that’s a greener alternative to traditional hardwood flooring materials. By definition, “renewable resource” refers to a material that can be harvested without impacting the environment. When cork is harvested, only the bark of the tree is removed, which means the tree can continue to grow after the product is removed. The bark is replenished every nine years, at which point it can be harvested once again. This is great news for any homeowner looking to cut down on their environmental footprint and install a greener hard surface flooring option.

Many of the benefits from cork flooring stem from its natural-occurring physical properties. Cork is quite durable and resilient, which means when it’s used for flooring, it will hold up well against foot traffic. The material retains heat, so it will feel warmer under your feet than other hard surface options. Its cushioned texture makes it an excellent flooring option for people who suffer from joint conditions or those with young children. Additionally, it can help absorb sound waves, which makes it a good choice for rooms where acoustics could become an issue. And as any wine aficionado knows, cork is naturally resistant to mold. This makes it one of the more hypoallergenic flooring options available: great news for allergy sufferers.

On the flip side, cork flooring can be a little pricey. While a little more comfortable to walk on, cork’s spongy texture does not hold up well under the weight of heavy furniture. You’ll also have to be careful with sharp objects, as cork can get scratched or cut fairly easily. This means that pet nails, high heels and other sharp objects could scratch the surface of your flooring as with any other type of hardwood.

To ensure that your cork flooring has a long lifespan, you’ll want to

proactively protect it from scratches or dents. Safeguard the flooring and install soft pads or coasters underneath your heaviest furniture.

Before installing cork, carefully weigh all of the pros and cons and analyze the characteristics of the room first. If placed in a suitable room, cork flooring can be a comfortable and savvy design choice.
