Luxury hotel will be part of Autograph Collection

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For nearly a decade, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has talked about bringing a luxury hotel to the Carmel City CITY CENTER Center area.

He said he wanted a boutique hotel, something original and not a cookie-cutter chain.

But he said the challenge was that most travelers look for well-known chains when booking rooms. It’s how they earn points and get discounts. Plus, travelers are often loyal to particular brands.

For that reason, Brainard zeroed in on the Autograph Collection brand by Marriott Hotels.

Each of its luxury hotels is independently owned and many are in historic buildings.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Brainard said.

“You get the reservation system and the marketing power of Marriott, but you also get a truly unique building.”

The City of Carmel ramped up efforts about a year ago to attract a luxury chain. The city hired Oklahoma-based Coury Hospitality at $20,000 a month to consult on landing a four-

star hotel. The Carmel City Council approved $18 million in bonds in September 2017 to launch a public-private partnership with developer Pedcor to get the $40 million hotel off the ground. The name was announced as the Hotel Carmichael. Architectural designs were released in January.

But now, Brainard believes he has the final piece of the puzzle. He was excited to recently announce that a franchise agreement has been reached, and now Carmel’s new luxury hotel will indeed be part of the Autograph

Collection brand.

Brainard is negotiating with banks for a city-backed loan to cover the remaining $22 million. He expects it will get done soon and a groundbreaking will take place this year with the goal of a 2019 opening.

For 10 years, the city will receive 75 percent of the hotel’s profit while Pedcor receives 25 percent. After that, it will be a 50-50 split.

“To say the city owns it isn’t really correct,” Brainard said. “It’s a private-public partnership.

The city has some ownership, but that’s it.”

Brainard said the city could receive a healthy revenue stream to not only pay off bonds but also fund other projects. He noted that Indianapolis has an 8 percent stake in the Conrad Hotel and has been paid $1.2 million since 2010, although Indianapolis invested around $25 million. Indianapolis has yet to see any money from the nearly $60 million it invested in the JW Marriott in 2008.

If Carmel’s hotel is successful, Brainard said it would be wise to sell it if the opportunity arises.

“The hope is we could sell it and then move on to the next project,” he said.

IU Health North Hospital has received approval from the Carmel Plan Commission to construct a two-story DEVELOPMENT cancer center that will be built southwest of the existing building.

The new 88,000-square-foot cancer center at 11700 N. Meridian St. is planned to offer radiation oncology areas, infusion rooms for chemotherapy patients, space for IU School of Medicine research and cancer support programs. A groundbreaking is expected in the fall.

The site of the future center currently is a parking lot, and 280 parking spaces are expected to be removed to make room for the building. Only 34 spaces will be added, but the hospital’s campus still will have hundreds

more parking spaces than required with the construction of a new 532-space lot north of the existing lot.

Zoning laws require the building to be at least three stories tall, but IU Health asked for an exception to build the structure two stories high with the option of adding three additional stories in the future. The building will exceed the minimum height requirement of 38 feet with its two stories.

Tim Ochs, an attorney representing IU Health, told commissioners in April that medical building regulations state that the hospital cannot build empty floors.

“We cannot build space that we’re not going to use,” he said. “It all has to be genuinely occupied.”

The commission’s commercial committee unanimously approved the site plan, 4-0, and design approval for the project May 1.

Christkindlmarkt awaits $125K in city support this year

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

BY THE NUMBERS

According to a report given to the Carmel City Council, the Carmel Christkindlmarkt brought in nearly $1.4 CITY NEWS million in its first year in gross sales, serving about 150,000 people. The Ice at Center Green, an outdoor skating rink operated by the City of Carmel, brought in $218,347.

Marketmaster and CEO Maria Murphy outlined a plan for the nonprofit to become self-sufficient in the near future. In its first year, Carmel gave the nonprofit $420,000.

Another $125,000 is budgeted for this year.

“Our goal is to be free of any city help, meaning a grant, in two or three years,” said Dan McFeely, president of the board for the Christkindlmarkt. “We still need some grants because we want to grow a bit.”

The market reported total revenue of $936,583 with total expenses of $645,628.

Cash balances were $290,955 with a physical inventory worth $66,331 and total assets valued at $357,286.

Many changes are expected for the Christkindlmarkt this year. Murphy said she’s going to try to get sponsorships to help cover costs. New features and attractions are planned. The layout will be tweaked. Some new vendors will be added and others might not return. Quirky Feather Confectionary, which sold gluhwein, has gone out of business.

McFeely said there’s been an ongoing discussion about how many booths need to be run by the city, how many should be outside vendors and how many should be local vendors.

Some on the Carmel City Council asked for more details about the market’s finances. Councilwoman Sue Finkam praised the

Nancy Heck, director of community relations and economic development for the City of Carmel, said The Ice was successful at providing a wintertime outdoor activity and bringing people to the area during a time of year when local retail and restaurant traffic is slower.

“The comment we heard the most was we created Hallmark memories for those who attended the inaugural Carmel Christkindlmarkt and Ice at Center Green,” she said. “I can tell you as an event planner there is no better feeling than creating moments such as those for people attending an event.”

Carmel’s Dilk named Miss Basketball

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The dream became a reality for Amy Dilk.

Dilk was named Carmel High School’s first Miss Basketball ACHIEVEMENT at the IndyStar Indiana Sports Awards banquet April 29 at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis.

“Miss Basketball has been a dream of mine for many years,” Dilk said. “I turned that dream into a goal during my high school Dilk years, and I am honored and so thankful for everyone who has supported me along my journey.”

Dilk, who previously won the Gatorade Indiana Player of the Year Award for girls basketball, won Miss Basketball with 77 votes in the statewide poll of coaches and media. The next closest was Pike’s Angel Baker with 29 votes.

The Michigan-bound Dilk will wear the No. 1 jersey for the Indiana Girls All-Stars game in June against Kentucky.

“Amy is a highly skilled, well-rounded player who played at a high level throughout her high school career,” Indiana Girls All-Stars coach Pat McKee said. “She sees the floor and passes well, handles the ball well, shoots well and gives an excellent effort on defense. Best of all, she’s a natural leader who makes those around her better.

She is all about her team and helping it be the best it can be.”

Dilk, a 6-foot point guard, averaged 17.8 points, 6.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 steals for the Greyhounds (24-3) last season.

Dilk said former Carmel coach Tod Windlan has been a huge part of her success. Windlan was recently dismissed as coach, a decision that generated questions and protests from many CHS basketball players. “(Windlan) has coached and developed me into the person and player I am today,” Dilk said. “He deserves nothing but the best.”

Her family gets credit, too.

“I owe a lot of credit to my parents for putting in so much of their time and effort throughout my career,” Dilk said. “And I am blessed to have four older siblings to look up to as role models.”

Cafeteria worker recalls Jello mess, friendships after 45 years on the job

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

Much has changed since Lillian Tickle began working in the cafeteria for Carmel Clay Schools, but as she plans to retire — 45 years later — her favorite RETIREMENT part of the job has remained the same.

“It’s my friends. I’ve met a lot of friends in this job,” she said. “I’ve met many, many good people. My friends are the best thing that I’ve enjoyed through the school.”

Tickle CCS hired Tickle, then 28, in 1973. Since then, she’s held a variety of titles in food preparation, most recently as a part-time food service worker at Carmel Elementary. The CCS school board honored her for her 45 years of service at Carmel Elementary at its April 23 meeting.

Tickle said she has many great stories and fond memories of her time with Carmel Clay Schools. She laughed as she recalled

the time a large pot of Jello boiled over onto the floor.

“It was amazing,” she said. “We had such a mess to clean up!”

But Tickle’s fondest memory is the baking she used to do.

“When I first started, we made the best dinner rolls in town, in my opinion,” she said. “I was in the back baking all the time, cookies, cakes, cobblers, everything.”

She made some fairly unorthodox des-

serts on a regular basis, such as pork-andbean cake and prune cake.

Tickle has witnessed many changes throughout her career, especially in the way cafeteria food is prepared.

“There are many regulations now that we didn’t have back then,” she said.

After she retires May 31, Tickle plans to spend time visiting her son and daughter and volunteering at a local Methodist church.

Members of the Carmel High School girls basketball team led a march April 28 through downtown GREYHOUNDS Carmel in support of Tod Windlan, their former coach who was dismissed from the program April 20.

Supporters yelled “Bring him back!” as they marched from CHS through the Arts & Design District and back.

Windlan was not at the march, but his wife and mother attended.

“It’s been so hard for him, and we, as a family, are so humbled by your love and support,” Stacey Windlan, Tod Windlan’s wife, said before the march. “He loves each and every one of you and feels like he’s made an impact on you guys at some point in your life. Even if this doesn’t work out, he’s always got your back.”

Organizers said they planned the march with hopes of Tod Windlan getting his job back. They also said they wanted to shed light on the fact that at least two other coaches have been dismissed in recent years with little explanation.

Carmel Clay Schools officials said the situation is a personnel matter and declined to give a specific reason for the dismissal.

The district issued a statement April 26 that outlined some of the steps that led to Windlan’s dismissal. It stated CHS administrators conducted a review of the program that included interviews with athletes, coaches and parents.

“The review revealed that there were differences in opinion regarding the leadership provided by the head basketball coach,” it stated. “What became clear, however, was that the players and families involved in the program had become divided and the program could be adversely affected by that division. The administration determined a change in leadership was necessary.”

There are nearly 1,200 seniors in the Carmel High School class of 2018. Seventy years ago, CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL there were 28 seniors in a school that housed all grades on the same land where CHS is now.

The Class of 1948 held a reunion April 25 at the high school. Of the 28 members of the class, 11 are still living. Three were able to attend. Another four had to cancel just before the event for health-related reasons.

Carmel resident Dale Hinshaw helped organize the reunion with the help of his daughter, Christine, and brother, Mike, who also live in Carmel.

“Nobody would take over to keep the class together, so about 10 years ago I took over and started getting them together,” Hinshaw said. “We really miss some of them bad because they were the cut-ups of the group.”

Hinshaw has watched the school district and city grow.

Carmel High School’s TechHOUNDS robotics team is celebrating a successful season, which ended with a recordROBOTICS setting score at the state competition and fifth-place finish in the world competition.

TechHOUNDS were the highest ranked team at the Indiana District State Championship April 12-14 with 343 points. The score tied for the all-time high point total in the district. Team 868 won 50 matches and lost 17 matches in official play in 2018.

The win qualified the team for the FIRST Championships April 25-28 in Detroit, Mich.

More than 700 teams from more than 80 countries competed. It was the 13th time the group qualified for the competition since its inception in 2001.

“We did very, very well,” said Priya Una, a team member and CHS sophomore. “It’s split up into six different divisions. We actually won our own division. Then those winners moved on to a super division called Einsteins. Unfortunately, we had a couple of really hard matches, but we still placed fifth at the world competition.”

Learn about Carmel’s glaciers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hydrogeologist Dan Kelleher and his Midwest Geoscience Group partner, Tim Kemmis, have made a timely GEOLOGY discovery.

Kelleher said recent drilling in Carmel’s developing Midtown has revealed sediment layers from ancient glaciations that are older than 20,000 years.

“The deep sequence of deposits tell a story about past continental-scale ice sheets advancing and retreating multiple times across modern-day Carmel,” Kelleher said. “The remnant deposits are today recognized as deep sand and gravel aquifers buried and protected by thick mixtures of clayey sediments.”

Kelleher, a geologist who specializes in ground water, will give a presentation, called the “Geology of Carmel,” at 7 p.m. May 15 at the Carmel Clay Public Library. A question and answer session will follow.

“I will present the geologic findings beneath Midtown Carmel and reveal the story the sediments are telling about past local glaciations,” Kelleher said, Kelleher said there’s been a huge interest in the project from the mayor’s office, the Carmel Clay Historical Society and the city’s engineering department.

“Carmel’s redevelopment commission is the one that led me to this project,” Kelleher said.

Kelleher, a Carmel resident, and Kemmis are co-founders of Carmel-based Midwest Geoscience Group. Kelleher is the group’s president. Kemmis has a doctorate in glacial sedimentology.

“We went out and we looked at sedimentary sequence to take the mystery out of

the subsurface,” Kelleher said. “We collected the same kind of engineering data that was collected in the past, but we didn’t have to hope that we were going to find trends. It was without question because the sediment sequence is quite predictable. We took our data and correlated it regionally with the Indiana Geological Survey.”

Kelleher said the project showed the same sedimentary sequence over a stretch of more than a mile.

“It will optimize any drilling program and any engineering data collected,” Kelleher said. “It will make every program from here on out more efficient. For the very first time in the city’s history, we have certainty as far as subsurface conditions.”

SPJ honors Current cartoonist

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Current Publishing cartoonist Tim Campbell has done it again.

Campbell, a Carmel resident, AWARD won the best editorial cartoon for the fifth consecutive year and seventh overall at the Society of Professional Journalists’ 2017 Best of the Best in Indiana Journalism banquet April 27. The winning cartoon was on the situation in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. He also received third place in the same category.

“What I’m honored most about this award is that it’s judged by professional journalists from states outside of Indiana,” Campbell said. “I’m assuming this is done to eliminate any bias towards publications or individuals. It’s simply about the work itself.

I do enter one or two other national contests each year, but the Indiana SPJ award is special because I’m a Hoosier by birth (from Indianapolis). I believe the values this state and my family have taught me is on occasion reflected in my work.”

Campbell began doing cartoons for Current in Carmel the second week it published in 2006.

Making it possible CHS grad’s newest business provides down payment for homebuyers

By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com

Meet Yifan ZhanG

After moving to the U.S from Nanjing, China, Yifan Zhang didn’t meet any other Asian Americans until her family settled in Carmel.

“It was exciting,” she said. “I felt very COVER STORY welcomed, like there were other people that were very similar to me and we could talk about all these personal things that I hadn’t had a chance to talk to other people about.”

Zhang said she took full advantage of the numerous opportunities in Carmel, and now she is a successful entrepreneur living in Seattle, with two businesses under her belt. She and friend Adam Stelle co-founded Zhang’s third company, Loftium, in September 2017.

Loftium is a firm that helps customers purchase a house by providing the down payment. It offers up to $50,000 for each customer and requires the homebuyer to make available at least one room in the home for Airbnb renters for one to three years. Loftium and the buyer share the rental income.

“I think the buyers definitely feel like this is just a lifechanging type of product that helps make home ownership possible when they didn’t think that they could buy a home or they were fearful that they would get priced out of their home city,” she said.

• Age: 29 • Favorite app: Evernote • Favorite piece of advice: “When I’m at a crossroads and I’m deciding what direction to go down, I should always choose the career path that allows me to grow the most.”

• Favorite vacation spot: Myanmar • Favorite Carmel restaurant: Steak ‘n Shake • Night owl or early riser: Early riser

Finding her home Zhang moved from China to Muncie at age 7 when her father began his graduate work at Ball State University. Her family lived in Indianapolis for one year before buying their first home in Carmel, a choice that Zhang said was in her control even at age 11.

“I thought (Carmel schools) would give me the best shot of being able to go to an Ivy League school and (I wanted to be) among peers that were very urban and (I was) looking to have a broader perspective of the world,” said Zhang, who graduated from Carmel High School in 2006.

At CHS, Zhang was part of the band, orchestra, lacrosse team, academic Super Bowl and president of the International Club. She used her entrepreneurial spirit there to create the Student Tutor Connections Club.

Zhang went on to graduate in 2010 from Harvard University with a degree in economics and East Asian studies.

Getting involved While in college, Zhang created her first company, Styleta, a nonprofit that sells donated clothes online to generate funds for other charities. Zhang expanded the organization to other campuses and ran her chapter for eight months after graduation.

Zhang later co-founded Gympact with her husband, Geoff Oberhofer, whom she met at Harvard. Gympact was a fit-

ness app that allowed users to predict how often they would go to the gym in one week, and they received cash rewards if that goal was met. The funds were deducted from the accounts of users who didn’t meet their goals. It is no longer available for download.

Zhang and her Gympact team developed the product while participating in a startup course in Santiago, Chile, in 2011. She and Oberhofer then moved to San Francisco to begin fundraising. The couple ran Gympact for five years before moving to Seattle to be closer to Oberhofer’s parents and start a new business venture.

“I feel like I’ve always moved industries with my companies, but kept the core, (which is) that the companies are driven by interesting financial incentive change,” Zhang said.

Building Loftium Zhang was inspired to create Loftium when she bought her first townhouse in Seattle and rented a room through Airbnb, realizing the power of that income stream. Her cofounder, Stelle, had the same experience.

Stelle said that two-thirds of first-time homebuyers put 0 to 6 percent of the price in their down payment when it should be almost 20 percent.

“It’s often cited as far and above anything else, the No. 1 hurdle is hitting that down payment,” he said.

Stelle and Zhang collaborated to lessen that financial burden for buyers by providing the down payment. When buyers agree to host through Airbnb, they list Loftium as a co-host so that the program can optimize its income predictions.

Loftium only earns income from the Airbnb rentals, so buyers are not required to pay back the down payment,

regardless of the room’s performance with renters.

Loftium has helped more than 2,000 homebuyers.

“Seeing the day-to-day change in (a customer’s) lifestyle and their overall sense of well-being and security, it’s a pretty awesome thing to be a part of,” Stelle said.

Zhang and Stelle plan to expand Loftium outside of Seattle to less expensive and less competitive markets.

LOFTIUM IN CARMEL? Yifan Zhang wants to bring Loftium to the Carmel market, even though the city’s ordinance regarding Airbnb rentals is more restrictive than state law.

The Carmel City Council passed an ordinance Jan. 8 that regulates short-term rentals, requiring homeowners wanting to list property on Airbnb to pay a $100 application fee and undergo a review from a Board of Zoning Appeals hearing officer. Only permanent residents of a home can apply, which keeps property from being purchased and used solely as an Airbnb-type rental.

“Since we work only with primary residence homebuyers, we should be able to receive approval under the council’s rules,” she said. “However, since this is a new law and there’s a conflicting state-level law, we’d need clarification on the rules, including the timeline for the review and criteria for acceptance.”

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a law in March that prevents municipalities from banning Airbnb rentals, although ordinances in existence before Jan. 1 were grandfathered in. A city attorney said he expects Carmel’s ordinance to be accepted as well, and it remains to be seen if it will be challenged in court.

Surviving my annual headache

Evening in Paris

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker It was an Evening in Paris. This time the City of Lights dutifully was replicated in the Culinary Arts Center on Ivy Tech’s bustling Indianapolis Campus. Replete with the Eifel Tower, tasty treats, comfy cafes and a noted cabaret singer (thanks to local standout talent Gail Payne), the festive nature of the event belied the intentionality of the cause underlying it.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the gala funds study-abroad opportunities for culinary students to both the storied French capital and to its vaunted surrounding farms, wineries and producers. Home to and originators of some of the finest and best-produced food in the accumulation of western culture, the student travelers are steeped in the techniques and trades that bring life to the notable comforting provincial and elegant urban menus.

Still, it may be the more existential effects of the trip that leave the longest impression. Many of the explorers will have never before possessed a passport, flown on an airplane, or even left the safe confines of central Indiana. While in Provence, sitting around the kitchen table listening to a farmer extol the virtues of his fromage, do those assembled learn as much about themselves, and the world in which they live, as they do about the nuanced distinction between the diets of the cows to produce the raw milk for the product?

Can it be that Ivy Tech Community College, and its many supporters, are opening eyes at the very same time they are pleasing palates? If we find that we have access to a new world, food or otherwise, don’t we take a bit more ownership in it?

READER’S VIEW Quality education vs. city amenities Editor, Closing schools isn’t just about shifting demographics; it’s about tradeoff decisions on an ever-tightening school budget. At the recent Carmel Clay Schools forums, questions were asked about getting more financial support from the city. The standard response from our politicians, now and in the past, has been “we can’t do anything.” This is starkly different from their support of boundarypushing amenity spending, which they term “placemaking.”

Where’s the innovative legal structure, financing and cost shifting that produced the $180 million Center for Performing Arts? Where’s the can-do spirit that defied independent experts and approved $18 million for a city-owned boutique hotel?

Where’s the moxie that set up a nonprofit, then shifted $8 million in city funds to run the Christkindlmarkt and Ice Rink?

Where’s the compassionate conservatism that provided $10 million to renovate Brookshire Clubhouse? As the saying goes, where there’s a will there’s a way.

If our politicians believe education is as important as amenities, let’s channel their ingenuity into creative solutions such as: 1) Giving block grants to CCS to support our young artists rather than giving millions to others for public art; 2) Setting up educational nonprofits and shifting city funds for innovative programs like Girls in STEM; 3) Using city resources to support the physical plant of CCS, as has been done for the Center for Performing Arts and Christkindlmarkt; 4) Providing surplus tax increment financing funds for CCS, as was recently done by Indy for IPS. Our children and teachers need bold actions from our elected officials, not convenient excuses.

Tim Hannon MD, Carmel

I occasionally experience migraine headaches, maybe one every few years. My last was actually in 2014. Since I’m not a regular sufferer, they tend to sneak up HUMOR on me before I realize what’s happening, and usually at inopportune moments.

Here’s what went down recently.

I’d just finished a triathlon in Muncie and was trying to figure out why I wasn’t enjoying the typical post-race euphoria. I was tired, sure, but I had no desire for a Big Mac (my usual self-congratulatory meal), nor was I excited to call Doo with the details (lost swimsuit, broken sunglasses, knocking over two bike racks).

As I stood in line for a pizza slice (it was free!), I noticed my vison going wonky. I could still see, but there was a definite blind spot in my right eye. It cleared after maybe 10 minutes, and I headed for my car.

As soon as I hit I-69, a dull headache began along with a bit of nausea. By the time I got to the Anderson exit, I was desperately pressing a cold water bottle to my head while dry-heaving into a Meijer grocery bag.

I pulled off the highway, parked at the Steak ‘n Shake and crawled into the back seat to wait out the pain.

I neither turned off the car nor locked the doors, but luckily, no one seemed to notice or care that a seemingly unoccupied minivan sat running for an hour.

Once home, I spent the rest of the day on the couch, “recovering.” Not from the race, mind you, but from the migraine. At least I should be good for another few years!

Peace out.

When push comes to shove Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Sunday nights are stressful in the Wolfsie household because there are just so many great programs we both HUMOR want to see.To deal with this problem, my wife has a kind of spread sheet where she charts each show and then figures out how we can accomplish our viewing goals without missing anything.

“Dick, I’m going to tape ‘Madam Secretary,’ but we’ll watch ‘Homeland’ live, and I can also record that mini-series about John Paul Getty. Then we can DVR ‘Billions,’ unless we can get it ‘On Demand’ Monday.”

“OK, Mary Ellen, why can’t we record ‘Homeland’ later, then you can watch ‘Mystery Theater’ and I can watch the baseball game? Wait, I can’t miss ‘Deception.’ Can I watch both of them live?”

“You can’t watch ‘Deception’ live because it’s HDTV, which means we could only record one other show. I could watch sports with you, but you know there’s no chance of that happening.”

With the DVR, we have the option to zip past ads by using the fast-forward option.

My wife is a two-arrow person, mean-

ing she only presses the forward button twice. She wants to trudge slowly along so she doesn’t pass the desired starting spot immediately after the commercials. I’m a five-time arrow pusher. It goes forward so fast that I have to backtrack, because I always end up at the closing credits even though I’ve only watched 10 minutes of the show. Then I rewind with five pushes to find where I left off, and all of a sudden, I’m looking at the opening credits … again. The other night Mary Ellen shoved me off the couch because I was driving her crazy with the FF button. This is how push comes to shove.

At some point when you program too many shows at the same time, a prompt comes up that says: C O N F L I C T. Yes, indeed there is a conflict, but Mary Ellen and I always try to work it out, because we don’t want to go to bed mad. Assuming we ever get to bed. It’s difficult … with so many shows to watch.

Why do some homes in Carmel stay on the market for so long?

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Realtors in Carmel often tell stories of homes for sale that sell in a matter of hours. Shelly Walters, REAL ESTATE of the Shelly Walters Real Estate Group, recalled a time she was literally putting a sign in a yard when someone driving by stopped and made an offer on the house.

Walters Carmel-based realtors agree that there’s a high demand among home buyers in the city. So why are some houses on the market for inordinate lengths of time? Residents drive by month after month and wonder, “What’s wrong with that house?”

Local realtors who talked to Current gave different numbers for how many days are too long to sit on the market in Carmel.

Most cited a median average of 40 to 50 days. They all said that homes listed at $350,000 or less can be sold within in a week if they’re in good condition and priced properly.

Here are some reasons they said homes in Carmel may take longer to sell: PRICED TOO HIGH Every local realtor that spoke to Current said that any house will sell in Carmel if it’s priced correctly.

“Price always fixes everything,” Walters said. “At a certain price any home can sell.

Obviously, the seller wants the most for their money, but just because it is a seller’s market it does not mean a buyer will pay above market value, nor will an appraiser appraise it higher than market value. Unfortunately, all of this hype around houses selling fast and being a seller’s market has made some sellers and agents think they can ask higher prices for their home than what the market value is showing them.

This is not true.”

PERCEPTION If it’s priced too high and takes too long to sell, then buyers might suspect there’s something wrong with the house, said Stacy Kiernan of Home Run Realty Indiana. Often, there’s nothing wrong with the house except the price.

“It will sit and you will drop the price, many times drop it several times, until it gets to market price,” she said. “Then it will have been on the market for a while and

the buyers will want to know why it hasn’t sold. Is there something wrong with it?”

SELLER NOT MOTIVATED Some sellers price the house too high because they aren’t desperate to sell their house, said Matthew Sponaugle of Remax. He said people hear about homes in Carmel going for more than their asking price and they become interested in seeing how much they could get if they Sponaugle sold their house.

“They put a bobber on their fishing pole and they wait for someone to bite,” he said.

“They hear the market is great and they want to see what they can get for their house.”

LOCATION Shell Barger of Remax said Carmel is a desirable address but there are still some houses that might be harder to sell — at the price the seller might want — because of location.

“Poor location can include poorly situated on a lot, near a highway or backing up to a busy road,” she said. “But if you put your best foot forward, price the home right and hire a professional real estate agent, you’re sure to sell your Carmel home Barger quickly in this market.”

IT’S A FIXER-UPPER Although some people watch HGTV and dream of remodeling a house in a great location, Adam Hopkins of Remax said many buyers, especially younger people, are looking for something more turn-key.

“The days of wanting a ‘fixer-upper’ are still there for some, but the majority want to just move right in,” he said. “I’ve worked with buyers that start out thinking they are going to get a deal on something and wanted to focus on distressed properties and fix it up, but nine out of 10 times they end up just choosing one that is already finished.”

DATED DECOR Greg Cooper of Berkshire Hathaway said any home in Carmel that’s 10 to 12 years old and has not been updated is tougher to sell.

“Sellers of these homes have no idea that they are dated, but trends are changing so quickly that it really dates homes so much more quickly,” he said.

Greene takes a spin at playing Ariel in musical

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The role of Ariel puts Sydney Greene’s voice to the test, but perhaps not as much as her balance.

“That’s been one of the THEATER hardest parts to move like I’m underwater on the Heelys and learn to feel comfortable,” Greene said of the roller show. “I’ve had a few falls. All throughout my house I’ve been practicing, especially at first.”

Greene, a junior, will perform in Carmel High School’s production of “The Little Mermaid” May 10 to 12 in the CHS auditorium.

“I wasn’t expecting it,” Greene said of the role. “I love any Disney shows, so I went for it. The outcome was awesome. I loved Ariel since I was little, so being able to play her is pretty cool.”

Greene is a two-year member of Ambassadors, the school’s mixed show choir. She was a dancer in the school musical “The Phantom of the Opera” in 2017.

“This show is so likable,” Greene said.

“Anyone that comes to the show has either seen the movie or knows Disney.

I feel everyone who comes is going to relate to it in some aspect. It might bring back childhood memories. It’s a very lighthearted show.”

Greene said the vocal range is a bit demanding.

“She sings a lot throughout the first act,” Greene said of her character. “The second act she doesn’t have her voice, so it’s more dance and gestures.”

Senior Ben Heber, a three-year Ambassadors member, will perform as Prince Eric.

“This is the role I auditioned for and I was real excited when I got it,” Heber said.

“I played Raoul in ‘Phantom of the Opera.’

The parts for Eric are vocally a lot more acrobatic than last year’s role, so it’s a bit more challenging as far as the technique aspect. I’ve had to work a lot on my technique. Overall, it’s been a really fulfilling experience because I got to sound a certain way on things I haven’t been able to achieve before.”

Heber said his main passion is architecture and sustainable design, which he plans to major in at Ball State University.

“I do want to pursue a minor in piano

Civic Theatre releases 2018-19 schedule editorial@youarecurrent.com The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s 201819 season opens Oct. 12 with the Cole Porter classic “Anything Goes.” The performances will run through Oct. 27 in The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

studies,” Heber said.

Heber said the show is in contrast to “Phantom of the Opera” with its darker theme.

“This is a light and airy (story),” Heber said. “It’s a great show for the kids.”

Director Sam Chenoweth said Carmel hadn’t done a kids show in several years.

“We wanted to do something the whole family could come to on Mother’s Day weekend,” Chenoweth said. “We have the kids that can pull it off.”

There are 62 students performing, an orchestra pit of almost 30 and several tech crew members working behind the scenes.

“Ariel is on Heelys but we have characters on hoverboards and characters on roller skates,” Chenoweth said.

A breezy, casual restaurant with outdoor dining is what awaits you. You’ll also find some great spots for watching the big game. Bring a friend, bring a date or bring the family for a wonderful dining experience.

What to get: It was time to try something different from the traditional burger.

BALLET For example, she’s active in multiple organizations at Westfield High School and plans to study mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University. She also has served as committee chair for WHS’s Dance Marathon fundraiser for Riley Hospital for Children and is a class representative in Key Club, a community service group.

But when Witzman isn’t studying or volunteering, she devotes what little spare time she has to her lifelong passion — dance. She began as a toddler and is, at age 18, an accomplished performer.

“I love dance because it is a challenging art form that allows me to work hard and push myself,” said Witzman, a WHS senior and nine-year member of the Ballet Theatre of Carmel at Performer’s Edge.

Witzman’s next performances will be May 12 and 13 in the Ballet Theatre of Carmel’s presentation of Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” at WHS, 18250 N. Union St. The May 12 performance is at 7:30 p.m. The May 13 performance is at 2 p.m. Witzman is the lead

As evidenced by the aformentioned, Witzman, an honors student, not only participates in a range of activities, she excels at each — no easy accomplishment for a busy teen who somehow finds time for everything, including ballet.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville lower-level update Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This early 2000s home in the Long Beach Estates neighborhood of Zionsville was a great space for the homeowners and their family to grow, but it lacked their own personal touches. So, they wanted updates that reflected their unique taste.

The overall goal was to create a space that functioned better for the homeowner while giving it a modern look that reflected the homeowner’s personal taste.

1. The largest transformation came from extending the footprint of the island from 4 feet to 10 feet, adding more space for storage and replacing the kitchen table with island seating. This helped make the space appear larger and gave the homeowner ample countertop space!

2. New contrasting cabinetry and countertops were added to the kitchen and dry bar, providing a more modern look and adding plenty of unique storage solutions.

3. A large barn door replaced the pantry door, which freed up space and added a unique design element to the space.

4. Shiplap and encaustic cement tile details were added in the kitchen, dry bar and living room, tying the design together.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The lower level was dated and had minimal natural light. The floorplan of the kitchen was small and lacked storage solutions. Certain spaces like the kitchen table and built-in desk were underutilized. The lower level lacked a cohesive design.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

Don’t peak too early Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I think I peaked around age 25, which was longer ago now than I’d like to admit.

When I was a boy, I GRAMMAR GUY peeked at my birthday presents because I couldn’t wait until the big day.

Understanding grammar always has piqued my interest.

Today, we’re discussing peek, peak and pique, three words that sound alike but have different meanings. That makes them homophones.

Peek means to look or glance quickly, often when you’re not supposed to be doing so. Our neighbors across the street are remodeling their house right now, so I like to peek in the windows to check on their progress.

Peak means to literally or figuratively reach the highest point of something. In a literal sense, this could be a mountain.

The explorers reached the peak of Mt. Everest this morning. In the figurative sense, a peak is the highest level someone reaches or achieves. The movie reached its peak when the supposedly unsinkable luxury ship smashed into the iceberg. To remember peak, picture the “a” in “peak” as a capital

“A,” thus giving you a visual reminder of a mountain shape.

Pique means to excite or arouse attention or to irritate. I especially like using pique as a synonym for irritate because I’m a younger brother; in a way, I was born to pique my older sister. Even though we’re adults, I still try my best to pique my sister by sending her birthday cards that either make obnoxious noises, or I fill them with confetti, or both. When pique means to excite someone’s attention, it’s almost like dangling a proverbial carrot in front of someone to intentionally stir curiosity. The trailer for the new “Space Wars” movie really piqued my interest.

It’s neither good to peak too early nor to peek too early; either scenario leads to certain disappointment. Although, be warned: If you peek at your birthday presents before your actual birthday, you’re likely to pique the person who gave you the gift in the first place.

Along the Bay of Angels in Nice, France. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A ‘Nice’ place to visit Commentary by Don Knebel Each year, 5 million people visit Nice, located at the southeastern corner of France, to enjoy a picturesque stretch of the Mediterranean coastline. The TRAVEL area’s popularity goes back 200,000 years.

The Greeks founded Nice as a port city along what is now known as the Côte d’Azur (Sky Blue Coast) in the fourth century B.C. They named the city after Nike, the goddess of victory. By the middle ages, Nice had become an important independent city, with many of its residents speaking Italian. In the late 18th century, Mont Boron, a hill overlooking the Bay of Angels on Nice’s southeastern end, was a favorite winter haven for British aristocrats, who enjoyed the mild weather and spectacular views. In 1820, reportedly to keep the locals employed during an economic downturn, the English visitors, with financial support from Nice’s Anglican Church, initiated construction of a walkway along the shore of the Bay of Angels. The walkway, named the Promenade des Anglais (Walkway of the English), now extends from the Nice airport to the famous Cadran Solaire,

a sundial where people standing on it become the shadowcasting gnomon.

In 1966, during construction near the base of Mont Boron, archaeologists discovered a site they called Terra Amata. Excavation revealed that humans had occupied the site, once adjacent the coast, no later than 200,000 B.C. and had used fire in their beachside huts, one of the earliest examples of the domestication of fire in Europe. A small museum above the site displays items from Terra Amata, including simple tools made from beach stones.

Nice officially became part of France in 1860 and today, with a population of about 350,000, is the country’s fifthlargest city. As the unofficial capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice is the gateway to the fashionable resort destinations of Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco.

DISPATCHES Pantyhose scrubbers — Take those old pantyhose and recycle them into scrubbers. They are abrasive enough to scrub grime off surfaces without scratching. They work well on windshields, bathtubs, shower doors or anywhere that stubborn gunk builds up.

Clean under fridge — The space between your fridge and the floor is a magnet for pet hair, dust, food crumbs and other small trinkets. And if gone too long without cleaning, it can attract ants and other pests. To clean this area, use a hair trap cleaner (also called a drain cleaning zip tool), which sells at home improvement stores for under $5. It won’t leave scratches on the floor and can reach further than a vacuum cleaner attachment.

out of the glass bottle, there is an official solution from Heinz for that.

There is a raised 57 on the neck of the bottle. Its location is deliberate. Tap on that spot and the ketchup will flow out.
