CRC took brief ownership of AT&T site to maximize TIF funds for developers

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council’s finance committee took a closer look May 4 at plans to redevelop the REDEVELOPMENT former AT&T building in Midtown with a mixed-use development, as several residents who live nearby and a city councilor raised questions about the project and plans to finance it.

Working in conjunction with the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, Buckingham Companies, Pure Development and Merchant’s Bank are partnering on the proposed $133 million project that would expand the existing Merchant’s Bank headquarters, add 37,000-square-feet for Pure Development’s relocated headquarters and include 244 luxury apartments and a parking garage at 210 3rd Ave. SW. The proposal also includes demolishing two homes on Emerson Road behind the site and rebuilding them on smaller lots.

The city is considering authorizing up to $20.5 million in developer-backed tax increment financing bonds to help fund the project, with developers set to receive 95 percent of TIF revenues for the life of the bond, up to 25 years. TIF captures tax revenue generated through redevelopment in a designated area to help pay for the improvements over a certain amount of time.

During the meeting, Councilor Tim Hannon questioned CRC Director Henry Mestetsky about why county records show that the CRC took ownership of the 4.3-acre parcel from PST Land Holdings for four days in January before transferring it back. Mestetsky said the CRC temporarily took possession of the site to reset the amount of tax revenue being collected for the site to $0, as properties owned by the CRC do not pay property taxes.

Because TIF captures tax revenue generated above the amount being collected when a TIF area is established, which has

been reset to $0 in this case, all tax revenue collected from the site will go toward the developers and CRC. Mestetsky said the process will result in approximately $27,000 per year being used for the project rather than being distributed among the regular taxing units.

“On each (redevelopment) deal, we try to negotiate and get — on behalf of the taxpayers — the best possible project. Sometimes it requires us to reset the base to zero, or else the project doesn’t happen,” Mestetsky said. “Our view of this should be over 100, 200 years, not what happens next year.”

As of press time, Mestetsky did not respond to a request for information about how many times the CRC has temporarily taken ownership of a site to reset the baseline amount of tax being collected in a TIF district.

Mestetsky said state law limits how much a municipal budget can grow annually and that the growth in assessed value in the city more than makes up for the taxes

previously collected for the site that are now going to the TIF district. Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider said that because the project is eventually expected to generate $143,000 in annual taxes for Carmel Clay Schools, it is worth shifting $27,000 in taxes to support the project.

A handful of residents who live near the proposed site shared other concerns, including inconsistency created by changing setbacks and creating smaller lot sizes for the two new homes, sightlines and shadows of a six-story building adjacent to residential homes, light pollution and increased traffic.

Mike Hollibaugh, Carmel’s director of the Dept. of Community Services, said the project is set to go before the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals and Carmel Plan Commission for thorough reviews.

The committee did not take a vote at the meeting. Additional meetings to discuss the project and others are set for 5 p.m. May 9 and 16.

After all of the votes were counted in the Republican primary race for the state representative District 32 seat, ELECTION Fred Glynn is the winner by a narrow margin, with eight more votes than Suzie Jaworowski.

Glynn, a Hamilton County councilor, received 1,844 votes, or 44.3 percent of the vote, compared to Jaworowski’s 1,838 votes, Glynn or 44.2 percent. Paul G. Nix received 479 votes, or 11.5 percent of the total.

Jaworowski, the state director for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, said she may consider requesting a recount, Jaworowski but first her team is working to determine why her vote totals and Nix’s were flipped in several media reports for approximately two hours on election night.

“We will determine if that had any impact on the results and decide on a recount,” Jaworowski said.

Both the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office and Hamilton County Election Office confirmed that the results were not incorrect in the information they provided.

Recounts do not happen automatically in Indiana. A candidate has 14 days after an election to request a recount. Political county chairs may also request recounts.

Glynn declined to comment on the results.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com New York Times best-selling authors Karen White, Beatriz Williams and Lauren Willig met on the writers’ conference BOOKS circuit and immediately bonded.

“One night at one of these many conferences, we retreated to the hotel bar together, moaning about how lonely it was going on a book tour alone and how much more fun it was being together, when suddenly the light bulb moment happened,” Willig said. “One of us, goodness only knows which, had the brilliant notion that if we wrote a book together, our publisher would tour us together — and pay for our bar bill.”

Williams said the friendship is the key to their success. They refer to themselves as “Team W.” “We’re such fans of each other’s books, and fans of each other as people, and working together on these books hasn’t just preserved our friendship, it’s made us closer,” Williams said.

Team W’s latest collaborative book is a historical mystery, “The Lost Summers of Newport.” The authors will speak at Fein-

“Since the very first collaborative novel, we have approached each book as ‘our book’ and the characters as ‘our characters,’ which is why readers can’t tell where one voice ends and the other begins,” White said.

Carmel firefighter ends memorable 40-year career

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Fire Dept. Capt. Joe Butts is not a man who ever wants to be the center of attention.

RETIREMENT But he agreed to a retirement celebration after 40 years with CFD for one reason.

“This a lost tradition,” he said. “The young guys coming up need to see this tradition.”

Although Butts, 62, didn’t give a speech to the crowd, he did greet and hug every firefighter who circled the area for the last traditional inspection check April 29 at Carmel Fire Station 45. Butts also heard a last call with bells and a message from a dispatcher signaling his end of duty. Fire departments from other communities congratulated him as well. He also received some traditional fire department gifts, like an ax and shield.

Butts, the longest-serving fire department member, was hired April 26, 1982, by the department’s first paid fire chief, Donald Swails. Butts previously spent four years with the Westfield Fire Dept.

Haboush said as a new firefighter 30 years ago he didn’t understand why Butts ran a “very tight ship.” But through the years, he began to understand the motives behind his demeanor.

“He expected everyone to do their very best each and every shift,” Haboush said.

“The public counts on the firefighters to solve their emergency, and Capt. Joe Butts has delivered in remarkable fashion. Joe’s motivation is simple. He loves the fire service and the Carmel Clay community. By nature, Joe has always been a hard worker.

This is part of his DNA.” Haboush said Butts carried that passion through his final day. Butts spent most of his career serving on Engine 41, the department’s busiest firetruck.

“Your tradition of excellence and high expectations will be carried on by those firefighters you have mentored, and please know they love and respect you,” Haboush said.

Butts met his wife, Renee, in 1997 when she joined CFD as a firefighter working alongside him. They married in 2002. Their son, Drew Butts, is a Carmel firefighter as well.

“I got to work with my hero for 5 1/2 years. How many people get to say that?”

Drew said. “On the rare occasions when my dad and I have been on the same truck will always be my most treasured memories.”

Drew said many firefighters like him worked in his father’s side businesses, such as landscaping and snow plowing. He demanded high standards on those jobs as well.

“Thank you for always setting an example and setting the bar high,” Drew said. “Thank you for holding me to high standards. Thank you for not only showing me what a good firefighter is, but what it takes to be a good husband and a good man and, of course, a great pawpaw.”

Drew, who lives in the Westfield/Sheridan area like his parents, said seeing the ceremony and the turnout is something he’ll never forget.

Carmel firefighter Cory Essex, Butts’ nephew, said Butts always exhibits selflessness.

“He’s always there when you need him,” Essex said.

Essex said Butts always believed that if you were going to do anything, do it right.

“After 40 years, you’ve done it right,” Essex said.

Butts said the time was just right to retire.

“Forty years, a lot of guys don’t do 40,” he said.

A Holocaust survival story

When Laurie Freeman invited her 95-yearold father, Jack Bronicki, to hear her speak at the Carmel Holocaust ReEVENT membrance ceremony, he quickly declined. “(He said) ‘I don’t need to come, I already lived through it,’” she said. “‘I know the story. I’m trying to forget.’”

Freeman shared her father’s story April 29 at the ceremony at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Jack grew up in a poor family in a village in Poland, which is now part of Belarus.

His father, Fivel, was a carpenter, and his mother, Golda, mended clothes to make money. Jack was the youngest of four boys.

The oldest was Shepherd, who had polio, followed by Meyer and Lipa. In 1939, Germany’s Adolf Hitler and Russia’s Joseph Stalin agreed to divide Poland.

“My dad’s town was on the Russian side,” said Freeman, a marriage and family therapist who lives in northern Indianapolis.

“Communism improved his life because getting food wasn’t as difficult.”

Laurie Freeman holds up a photo of her father, Jack Bronicki, a Holocaust survivor, April 29 at the Carmel Holocaust Remembrance ceremony.

A year and a half later, Germany broke the pact and invaded Russia and her father’s town.

“When the Gestapo came, the Jews were separated from non-Jews, forced to abandon their homes and possessions and moved to the ghetto,” Freeman said. “They built a hole under the rug in the newly assigned home. They could hide food there and (it became) a place where Shepherd, who couldn’t walk, could hide. It also turned out to be Shepherd’s grave.”

Continued from Page 8 Freeman said the Gestapo ordered all carpenters to report, and the family later learned Fivel and others were shot and buried in a mass grave.

“One day my father saw the Gestapo surrounding the ghetto from a distance while at work and asked to go to the bathroom,” Freeman said of her father, who was 13 or 14 at the time. “In a split-second decision that saved his life, he ran to the woods to escape. He hid there all day listening to gunfire, waiting to return to his family. He ran into a non-Jew from his town who told him to turn back into the woods because they were killing everyone.”

Freeman said her father hid in abandoned homes and in the woods at times.

While stopping at a house to ask for food, a family fed him barley soup with meat.

When a soldier came to the door to ask if anyone was there who didn’t live there, they pointed out her dad.

“They were willing to feed a starving young boy, but not willing to give up their own lives for him,” Freeman said. “The soldier held a gun to his head. My dad said at that point he didn’t care if he lived or died, he just wanted to eat.”

The soldier, who turned out to be a Russian partisan, waited until he was finished eating and took him outside. The soldier told him which towns to visit to get to the Bielski brothers’ camp.

“The Bielski brothers led one of the most significant Jewish resistance efforts during the war,” Freeman said. “Their goal was to fight the Germans but also provide a safe haven for Jews in the forest, primarily women and children. Under their protection, over 1,200 Jews survived the war.”

Jack found his mother and Meyer at the camp. After being liberated by Russia’s Red Army in 1944, Jack, Meyer and their mother returned home, but their house was gone.

Jack finally was able to come to America in 1951. He learned English and later became a self-trained plumber in Indianapolis. However, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“The war was over, but the trauma of abandonment, hunger and persecution continued to shape his view of the world,” Freeman said.

Freeman said she tells the story to honor her father and memory of his family members who didn’t survive.

“I tell it as a testimony to those that deny the Holocaust happened,” Freeman said. “I tell it as an example of when religious and other types of discrimination become out of control.”

Esposito provides lift from leadoff spot to CHS softball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Carmel High School junior Sophie Esposito, playing softball was a given.

“My dad had a bat in my hand from the moment I could walk,” Esposito said.

Esposito started playing in a recreation baseball league at First Baptist Church with girls when she was 5 years old. She joined the Carmel Dads’ Club baseball league when she was 8.

“I was the only girl out of like 200 kids,” she said.

Eventually, she began playing on the Carmel Pups softball team. “(CHS seniors) Kylie Cunningham and Ella Ohrvall were on my first Pups team,” said Esposito, who played Pups for two years before joining Indiana Magic Gold. “We set a goal when we were 12 that we would play high school varsity softball together, so it’s cool that we have accomplished that goal.”

Cunningham and Esposito alternate each game playing second base and shortstop.

Greyhounds coach Ginger Britton said Esposito is an impact player.

“She leads off the lineup this year and

quick to give positive encouragement. She will always celebrate the successes of her teammates twice as hard than how she enjoys her own.”

In the Greyounds’ first 15 games, the Indiana State University commit was hitting .500 with five home runs and 12 runs batted

in. Her season highlight to date was the April 22-23 Carmel Invitational.

“The team went 3-1 that weekend and we had some great moments,” she said. “My individual accomplishments that weekend include hitting a walk-off home run to win the game against Avon after Jess Remm hit a homer to tie the game. Then, I hit a threerun home run against Franklin Central to tie the game and the team went on to win that game as well. We faced No. 1-ranked Roncalli, and I had the opportunity to face Keagan Rothrock. I hit a leadoff home run.”

Rothrock is the nationally top-ranked pitcher in her class by Softball America.

Esposito said the mental side of the game is where she has made the most improvement.

“Softball is a game of ups and downs, and players are going to experience failures from time to time,” she said. “This season, I have learned from my failures but haven’t let them affect me on the field.

Esposito, who will attend the FBI Youth Leadership Academy June 8-10 in Bloomington, wants to pursue a career in criminal profiling. She plans to study criminal justice and psychology at Indiana State University.

PTE students explore JA BizTown

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Prairie Trace Elementary students recently got a taste of the real world at JA BizTown.

Church Church Hittle EDUCATION & Antrim and the Carmel Education Foundation provided the funding for the visit to Junior Achievement of Central Indiana’s JA BizTown, which allows students to experience the decisions involved in personal finance in a setting that includes stores, banks and other businesses.

Prairie Trace had 120 fifth-graders go through the simulation April 28 at the north Indianapolis site.

Prairie Trace fifth-grade teacher Rachel Knuttel said the students prepared for the outing for about a month.

“We spent a half-hour to an hour a day going over their financial literacy lessons and getting them prepared to be leaders at BizTown,” Knuttel said.

Fifth-grade teacher Sarah Awe said it has helped spark conversations with students and their parents about paying bills and taxes and applying for loans.

“It’s been very eye-opening,” Awe said.

Awe said the students have been more engaged while learning financial literacy lessons because they get to apply them.

Prairie Trace Assistant Principal Chard Reid was previously a business teacher and DECA advisor at Carmel High School.

“It’s a meaningful and authentic experience from a career perspective, but there is a personal finance element that makes it valuable for all students regardless of what their vocational path is going to be,” Reid said.

We Are Carmel Real Estate.

I DRIVE RESULTS. It's That Simple. 

Prepare for biggest festival yet Commentary by Steve Krusie On behalf of the entire CarmelFest 2022 planning committee, we are pleased to announce this year will be CARMELFEST our largest festival ever in our 34-year history.

Because of the huge success with last year’s dual locations, we will continue to offer food and marketplace vendors along with musical entertainment at One Civic Square and at Carter Green between the Palladium and Tarkington buildings.

The KidsZone will return to the south side of Carmel City Hall, which allows us to double the number of activities and rides, including rock-climbing walls, single-seat bungee trampolines, an expanded petting and feeding zoo and a mobile walk-through aviary for families to enjoy.

Entertainment will be expanded with new and favorite bands appearing on both stages from noon to 9:30 p.m. July 3 and 4.

On the Carter Green stage, a star-studded lineup kicks off with Nauti Yachtys on July 3 and My Yellow Rickshaw on July 4, while party band Fat Pocket closes out Sunday evening and Audiodacity closes Monday.

On the Gazebo stage at One Civic Square, the CarmelFest Has Talent competition will return from noon to 2 p.m. July 3. Performer applications can be submitted at carmelfest.net. A battle of the bands between the Carmel and Fishers School of Rock bands will kick off at noon Monday. And we are excited to feature the Indiana Wind Symphony and the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, respectively, on the evenings of July 3 and 4.

Fireworks will return both nights and will blast off on the east and west sides of Carmel July 3 and in central Carmel July 4.

And what would a Fourth of July festival be without a parade? The Allied Solutions CarmelFest Parade will step off at 10:30 a.m.

July 4 and will follow the traditional route west on Carmel Drive, then north on Range Line Road and east on Main Street, ending near Carmel High School. This year’s parade theme is “The American Dream.”

Steve Krusie is the chairperson of CarmelFest, an annual two-day event organized by the Rotary Club of Carmel. Learn more at CarmelFest.net.

Dress for WFH success Commentary by Stephanie Grabow Are you in the work-from-home forever club? If there’s one thing the last two-plus years have shown us, VIEWPOINT it’s that you don’t have to be in a corporate office to make your impact on the world.

I decided to work from home beginning in 2008 — the first six years for an international organization and the past nine years for my own small business, so you’re in good company.

Did you know there is science around how the clothes that you wear for WFH impact your brain activity and productivity? Through “enclothed cognition” research, scientists study the link between what you wear and how it affects your brain function, emotions and productivity.

It turns out that when you dress for work and Zoom calls, you’re signaling to your brain that it’s time to focus on the task at hand. The right clothes can improve your self-esteem and give you the confidence to nail your presentation on Zoom and go after your dream client.

Wearing your sweatpants and hoodie can

confuse your brain, because it’s thinking it’s time to relax and you’re pushing back with punch lists and performance reviews.

No wonder you feel unmotivated.

Dressing for WFH doesn’t mean that you have to pull out your most uncomfortable pants. It means wearing something on the top of your body in one of your best colors. That gorgeous color will give you energy, enhance your facial features and help you glow from the inside out.

Trust me, that beautiful glow comes through on the Zoom screen.

And here’s a pro tip: Staring at your face in your “wow” color on a Zoom call will also impact the way you feel.

On the bottom, put on jeans with lots of Lycra, or an elastic waist pant. Something comfy, but not sloppy.

And on your feet? Do what feels good.

Your fuzzy slippers are calling.

500 Festival’s full slate returns to benefit community, promote state’s most iconic event

By Les Morris news@currentincarmel.com For the first time in three years, the month of May will have a cadence with which central Indiana residents are familiar, the beat largely set by the extensive work of the 500 Festival, which since its founding has contributed more than $500 million in economic value to the community.

The 500 Festival, a nonprofit celebrating its 65th year, produces citywide events celebrating the spirit of the Indianapolis 500, which will be run May 29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The fates of the Indianapolis 500 and the 500 Festival are so intertwined that Bob Bryant, CEO and president of the 500 Festival, refers to the race as the “mothership.”

“The beauty of the 500 is, it happens every year, and the festival is designed to leverage the value of that to ensure posiBryant tive community development and growth,” Bryant said.

The genesis for the 500 Festival began with a trip a group of Indianapolis business leaders took to Louisville in 1956 to watch the founding event of the Kentucky Derby Festival, a parade held before the famous horse race run on the first Saturday of May in that city. Those four men were former Indianapolis Mayor Alex Clark; Joe Quinn, safety director for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; J. Worth Baker, Shrine Potentate in 1957; and Howard Wilcox, promotions director for the Indianapolis Star. A year later, the first 500 Festival Parade was held along the streets of downtown Indianapolis before a throng of more than 150,000 people, and a tradition was born.

Bryant said the 500 Festival has three goals: To positively impact the community, enrich lives and celebrate the Indianapolis 500. Eighteen full-time employees run it all and organize nearly 50 events and programs throughout May, impacting more than 500,000 people annually. Bryant, a Carmel resident, said that approximately 1 million Hoosiers have run the Mini-Marathon, one of the month’s signature events, at least once in its 45-year history. This year’s Mini-Marathon was scheduled for May 7.

Bryant started as president and CEO in 2013 and is only the fourth person to hold the title in the organization’s history. He came to Indianapolis from Atlanta, where he served as the tournament director for the Atlanta Open, an ATP event featuring the world’s top men’s professional tennis players. He had previously held positions in sports marketing and media.

“The 500 Festival is a nonprofit organization with a mission of enhancing the community and enriching lives,” Bryant said. “That was appealing to me.”

The organization’s board of directors consists of 33 peo-

ple (the same number of racecars that run in the Indy 500), who serve one term for six years. Bryant credits the group for shaping and framing the future for the 500 Festival.

They’re also nimble.

“We have the flexibility to evolve based on what is relevant to the community or where we can make the most impact,” Bryant said.

One example is a focus on youth health and fitness, which has gained visibility in recent years. This year will once again mark the May 15 return of the 500 Festival Rookie Run and Kids’ Day for kids ages 3 to 10 in downtown Indianapolis.

Bryant is ready to go.

“We are very excited to bring back the in-person events and programs conducted by the 500 Festival this year,” he said. “Based on the success of our virtual events and content over the last two years, we felt confident that the community would respond favorably to the return of the events we produce as well as events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”

May was on the calendar the last two years, but because of the many cancelations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it didn’t feel like the busy month it usually is for Hoosiers eager for the Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend.

This spring, the 500 Festival’s full slate of May events leading up to the race is set to return, one of the first being the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and 5K, which took place May 7.

More than 20,000 people were expected to participate, and according to Bob Bryant, CEO and president of the 500 Festival, interest is strong.

“We forecasted for numbers in the 75 to 80 percent range from 2019 and are happy to report surpassing those expectations,” Bryant said.

The Rookie Run and Kids’ Day will be from noon to 4 p.m. May 15 in downtown Indianapolis. The noncompetitive run for kids ages 3 to 10 ranges from two blocks to a one-third mile. Preregister for $10 through May 11 at IndyMini.com/RookieRun to receive a commemorative shirt and finisher medal. Registration at the event is $5 and only includes the medal.

Former IndyCar driver and current IndyCar analyst for NBC Sports James Hinchcliffe will be the featured guest at the 2022 500 Festival Breakfast at the Brickyard, to be held at 9:30 a.m. May 21 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Individual tickets are $85.

Race weekend kicks off May 26 with the Memorial Service. On May 28, the AES 500 Festival Parade will procede through the streets of downtown Indianapolis before hundreds of thousands of spectators.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Celebrate workers

An eye on makeup

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Those captive to the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics recall the cultural phenomena wrought by scarcities delivered via centralized government control and collective ownership. When a passerby would see a queue, they’d join in, often standing for hours, without having any idea what might be found at the end of that sweating, slow-moving rainbow. Sometimes, there would be shoes, or a grapefruit, or a vaccine. Regardless, every “citizen” knew that it would be something that they, or someone they loved, would likely need, if not now then eventually, and that it would probably not become available again anytime soon.

But here in the land of private ownership and abundance, we find ourselves with scores of choices and countless options. and generally, it is rare to find us waiting for anything. As we march into summer, we are confronted with some of the highest-vacancy postings in the recorded history of American employment. Moreover, so many of us quit our jobs recently as to contribute to records there as well. We have choice.

If we decided to downgrade and stay home, OK. But what of those left behind? Will a human shift where so many of us decide to give up working lead us to socialist bread lines of sorts?

Our favorite restaurants are closed early, or entire days of the week, able to procure product but not able to persuade anyone to serve it. And for the good and valiant remaining few, will exhaustion be a predictable outcome of picking up endless shifts for the deserting comrades? Checkout lanes are shuttered. Operating hours are limited.

And the tempers of Americans, unaccustomed to standing for hours to get a banana, are flaring. Let’s give latitude to those working. Let’s urge those able to join. And let’s get the lines moving.

Serious question for you, folks: Why do I feel the need to apply eye makeup before I go for an all-day scuba class?

Is it vanity? Insecurity? Habit? Let’s explore.

As any attuned longtime reader will know, I have the complexion of an eggshell and hair the exact shade of our late tabby, Ginger, may God rest her aloof soul. My slightly too-close-together eyes are pale green and occasionally appear light blue depending on my clothing color choice. More notably, my eyelashes are practically invisible, because they are short and a bland strawberry blonde. And don’t even get me started on my barely-there brows. The bottom line is, that with a naked face, I’m not going to be landing any Cover Girl natural beauty gigs.

Enter black liner and mascara, God’s gift to day-walking redheads everywhere and two things I rarely leave the house without. Even when I know I’ll be submerged in 11 feet of YMCA pool water for hours, learning to not die as I pretend that I’ve run out of air and have to locate my spare regulator, I can’t seem to avoid the sirens’ call of Bobbi Brown Granite Gel and L’Oréal Voluminous Original Formula. I just can’t.

Nor do I care that halfway through training, I’ll have rivulets of grayish makeup making star patterns on a couple of very impressive under-eye smudges. Throw in a halo of orange frizzle, and I’m basically the love child of Carol Burnett and Alice Cooper. What’s really stupid is that I’m among strangers! Odds are, I’ll never, ever see these people again.

So, what gives? Vanity, insecurity or habit? Probably all three.

Peace out.

Spring foot and ankle injuries Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan

Spring is here, and after months of cold weather, we’re all looking PODIATRY forward to getting active outside. We see many of these foot and ankle injuries all year long, but because they’re overuse injuries, they’re most common when you suddenly increase exercise or activity levels.

Achilles tendinitis Inflammation in your Achilles tendon develops when it’s facing more pressure, either from weight gain, or an increase in activity level. To avoid trouble, start slowly easing back into activity. Don’t assume you can go as far as you did before taking a break. And if you notice any pain in your calf muscles or ankles, take a break and come into the office if you don’t feel better in a day or two.

Ankle sprains Spring showers make roads slick, but warmer temperatures and longer days make it tempting to go outside. As a result, we see plenty of patients who have slipped on slick surfaces and rolled their ankles, resulting in a sprain. Symptoms include swell-

ing and difficulty bearing weight. Although you may be able to walk on a sprained ankle, doing so can extend your recovery time.

Take a break from movement and schedule an exam to rule out more serious injuries like a broken foot or ankle.

Heel pain The heel pain of plantar fasciitis is one of our patients’ most common complaints.

During spring, heel pain could be another form of overuse injury. With plantar fasciitis, inflammation attacks the connective tissue that connects your heel to your toes on the bottom of your foot. Many things can cause this inflammation, but tight calf muscles and lots of exercise tug and stretch it too far, leading to pain.

All these foot and ankle injuries could put a damper on spring fun. But if you come in at the first sign of discomfort, we can usually treat them with minimal intervention.

Riverview CEO reflects on effects of COVID-19

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Because Riverview Health President and CEO Seth Warren’s annual State of Health address was canSTATE OF HEALTH celed for two years because of the pandemic, it’s not surprising COVID-19 was still a main topic when he was finally able to deliver it.

“I know everyone is sick of hearing about COVID-19,” he said April 27 at the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville. “It’s been an absolute challenge for us the last couple of years. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It has strained us emotionally, physically and every way possible. I know people often think (hospitals) want COVID patients because they get paid so well. That’s a fallacy. We do not get paid well for COVID patients. We would rather COVID patients not be in the hospital. We would rather not have COVID patients and be able to care for patients other than COVID. I wanted to put those rumors to rest.”

Warren thanked the community for its support, especially during the height of the pandemic in 2020.

Warren said Riverview set up a vaccination clinic and administered 18,851 vaccinations, starting in December 2020.

“When that first vaccine was given, there were tears in the eyes of all the employees,” he said. “So many people came through so excited to be vaccinated because it meant the end of the isolation and the end of not being able to see new grandchildren.”

Warren said across the U.S., cancer cases are rising.

“Your health behaviors can affect cancer, but you can be the healthiest person and still get cancer,” he said. “Even as a healthier county (in the state), we are going to be subject to growing cancer numbers.”

Dr. Eric Marcotte, Riverview’s chief medical officer, said the pandemic affected screenings.

“You go two years without mammograms, colonoscopies and prostate cancer checks, there are an awful lot of people getting caught now with much more advanced cancers,” Marcotte said. “It’s sobering to watch.

Those are all three things that anyone can get. It’s not lifestyle.”

Warren said he is an example of how delaying screening can be a problem. He said he put off his colonoscopy at age 50 until he was 51 1/2. Finally, Warren’s wife had his assistant find a day to schedule it.

“Fortunately, they found cancer at a very early stage,” Warren said. “I went to a routine screening, and they found cancer.

If I waited longer, it would have been more advanced.”

School sprouts new location

By Taylor Dixon news@currentincarmel.com A local cooking school for kids is sprouting a new Zionsville location.

Owner Stephanie Drewry COOKING opened Sprouts Cooking School in her home seven years ago and opened her first school outside her home in Carmel in 2017. The second location will be at 11145 N. Michigan Rd., between the Pure Barre studio and Athletico Physical Therapy in Zionsville. It is set to open in August.

Drewry said opening a second location has been a longtime goal but that the COVID-19 pandemic delayed those plans.

“I feel incredibly grateful and fortunate that the business survived and thrived over the past two years. My team remained intact and loyal customers provided demand for our services that exceeded a single location,” Drewry said.

Sprouts is the first cooking school designated for children in Indiana, according to Drewry, who said getting kids in the kitchen with their families at a young age creates bonding opportunities and instills life skills.

Sprouts caters to children ages 3 to 13. It also offers individual classes, family classes, an exclusive MemberChef program that focuses on culinary curriculum, camps and birthday parties.

Drewery said the Zionsville location will mirror the Carmel one, with class schedules rotated through both sites.

Single classes are approximately $60, family classes are $69 and camps start at $299.

“Matt is a close personal friend and client since 2009,” Osborn said. “He got the entrepreneurial itch to buy a company.”

“In October of last year, he approached (me) with the idea of buying CE Solutions.

It took me by surprise. I was planning to do an internal transfer of leadership over time. But he brought an idea forward that would allow us to accelerate that owner-

JD Taylor has been promoted to president and principal. Chip Bradway, Heather Cox and Carrie Walden were promoted to vice presidents and principals.

“That was the same leadership team I was going to put in place,” Osborn said. “I’m basically under contract for the next five years to provide a smooth transition.”

TV crews will be at home for Mecum Auctions broadcasts at State Fairgrounds

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Providing broadcast coverage for Mecum Auctions is a year-round job for Ben Christoffel.

TELEVISION The Westfield resident, who serves as executive producer for Mecum telecasts, is one of three full-time Mecum employees on the TV broadcast. The others are Heather Jaynes, Whitestown, production manager, and Scott Hoke, Avon, host.

“At any given auction we have a crew of 45 to 50 television production professionals producing anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours of auction coverage per weekend on MotorTrend TV and MotorTrend+,” Christoffel said. “We currently have a total of 12 auctions televised in 2022 with nearly 200 hours of total live coverage. We also produce dozens of hours of shoulder programming and features on specific cars or collections throughout the year. “ Mecum Auctions entered into a multiyear agreement this year with MotorTrend to broadcast on MotorTrend TV, the cable network, and MotorTrend+, the streaming service. Mecum had been on NBC Sports Network for eight years, but NBC decided to dissolve the network.

Christoffel and many members of the production team won’t have to travel.

Dana Mecum’s 35th Original Spring Classic collector-care auction, is set for May 13-21 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. The catalog cars broadcast is May 18. The broadcast time is noon to 6 p.m. each day.

“They try to stack the deck during those days,” Christoffel said of the premier cars.

After graduating from Ball State University, Christoffel became involved with live remote productions and began working with Mecum in 2010. Christoffel was hired

by Mecum in 2014 to run the television division. John Sifferlen serves as producer on a freelance basis.

Mecum Auctions and Indianapolis-based Linger Group Productions produced the first

‘HELLO, DOLLY!’ “Hello, Dolly!” runs through May 15 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

televised Mecum Auction for HD Theater, part of the Discovery Channel Networks, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. HD Theater relaunched as Velocity and relaunched again in late 2018 as MotorTrend and continues to air Mecum Auctions content.

Christoffel said another part of his job is to film dozens of videos each year featuring collectors or special cars coming to the auctions.

“It pulls back the curtain on why they collected what they did and what kind of shape their cars are in, what kind of value a buyer might get if they purchase from that collection,” Christoffel said. “I travel twice a month to get to collectors. We’re an auction company, but we’re also a marketing machine. You can’t sell cars without letting them know they’re available.”

One of Christoffel’s favorite shoots was a segment on the collection of Carmel residents Jackie and Gary Runyon.

“The nicest, most down-to-earth couple you’ll ever meet,” Christoffel said. “They are passionate about their cars and are longtime customers of Mecum.”

Christoffel said his favorite car is a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette, which was his father’s first car.

Katie Osborne, who grew up in Carmel, has been one of the sideline reporters

since 2016.

“What a fun journey and ride it has been with the Mecum Auctions TV production crew and the Mecum staffers who work each and every event,” she said. “(It’s) a hardworking team, for sure.”

Osborne said she likes unique cars.

“Ones that are ‘story-driven’ instead of those that just offer goods under the hood,” she said. “That being said, I’ve always been a Bronco woman. A green 1970 would be ideal, but almost any color would do just fine as long as it’s an early ’70s Bronco. My first car crush was a Chevy Bel Air. I think that was because I loved the cartoon TV show ‘The Jetsons,’ and their space car in that show for some reason reminds me of a Bel Air. Additionally, I would love a big land yacht like a ’60s Cadillac Eldorado convertible. I grew up with Cadillacs in my family, so I have always enjoyed the look/feel/vibe of those. Lastly, I have had my eyes on an ’80s Jeep Grand Wagoneer, just super cool looking.”

The best part for Osborne is telling the emotional connection between owners and their vehicles.

“Additionally, connecting with the Mecum community in person at the events, on the television show and on social media have been a priority as well,” she said.

Ways to hang your art Commentary by Randy Sorrell Q. How do you display your art? A. On your wall, of course. While that may seem obvious, let’s explore that for DISPLAY a few paragraphs.

Most art is framed and thoughtfully placed on a wall to appreciate.

Some will be more strategic than others on placement, such as which wall, how high, light patterns, etc. But most of us simply place it where we like it, don’t we?

But there are creative options! Consider the few featured photos and the following ideas for displaying your favorites: • Not all art needs framed. Check out these unframed originals from Janie Naraine that are mounted with aggressive magnets to an edgy 5-by-10 piece of rusted steel. Note the Randy Sorrell original, the traditionally framed wine painting to the right.

• Mix metal frames with wood or black with gold at your own risk, or the guidance of a decorator

• Gallery style canvas doesn’t require a frame at all, but a floater frame will formalize it. The brightly colored modern painting from Ruby Mazur is a modern example and shows the canvas wrapping around the side 1 1/2-inches thick!

• Smaller pieces propped against books in a bookshelf offer an appreciated deviation • Art placed on an abbreviated easel on an entry table makes a nice statement These ideas are especially relevant when your personal art inventory exceeds the capacity of your walls. Guilty! They elevate your game, creates movement and showcases your home, and art, in provacative ways.

Life is short … Eat the desert. Drink the wine. Buy the art!

The Stutz Artists Annual Open House’s 2022 theme is “On the Road!”

The theme is literal beEXHIBIT cause the event, regularly held at the Stutz building near downtown Indianapolis, will be in Carmel this year while the Stutz building is being renovated.

The event is set for May 12-14 at the Horton Fan Factory, a Turner Woodard development, at 201 W. Carmel Dr. The hours are 5 to 10 p.m. May 12-13 and 3 to 10 p.m. May 14.

The Stutz building was sold in 2021 by Woodard to a company, SomeraRoad, from New York. “(SomeraRoad) has been quite supportive and they are supporting our event in Carmel,” said Fishers artist Anna Afshar, who is on the Stutz Artists board of directors.

“We are just not able to host public events because of the construction.”

The fair will feature 40 artists.

“Every night we will have a good selection of music as well as food,” Afshar said.

“Many of us have connections to Carmel,

including me. I do the Carmel International Arts Festival every year in Carmel.”

Afshar said approximately 25 artists are still at the Stutz building during the renovation.

“We are inviting artists that left,” she said. “First it was COVID, then it was the construction. Some of them lost their studios and were not able to find appropriate space. I had to relocate in the studio and was able to find a beautiful space.”

Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. For more, visit stutzartists. com.

Cost and other considerations are important elements when designing outdoor living space projects. (Photo courtesy of Bill Bernard)

By design: Evaluate priorities Commentary by Bill Bernard We love helping homeowners envision their ultimate outdoor living space, no matter the scale. Projects can be large or small but must always conREMODELING tain just the right mix of scope, material selection and costs. What if your grand design incorporates items such as decks, water features, patios, pergola, grill stations, fire features and landscaping, but your budget doesn’t allow you to have it all at once? It’s important to not let the scope and/or scale of your outdoor living project outpace your budget. It’s vital to discuss your budget at the very beginning of the process and avoid the disappointment of sticker shock. If, because of cost, you find yourself considering abandoning the project, there are other approaches to consider.

It’s not uncommon to reach a point in

the design process where you need to take a step back and evaluate what elements are most important. Does your new deck need to have the most expensive version of composite decking, or will premium pressure-treated pine decking work just as well? Do all of the elements of your design need to be installed this year, or is it possible to install some of those elements in phases over time? Sometimes with the passage of time, our homeowners realize their priorities change and the ultimate design is modified to accommodate those shifts.

Stay home, be moved.

A tour of Corydon Commentary by Don Knebel Today, we visit Corydon, Indiana’s first state capital and a popular tourist destination about 130 miles from TRAVEL Indianapolis.

In 1804, William Henry Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory, acquired land for a new town in what is now Corydon. The town was platted in 1808 and named for a shepherd who died in “The Pastoral Elegy,” said to be Harrison’s favorite poem. Corydon grew quickly, and in 1813 the territorial capital moved from Vincennes to Corydon, which was more centrally located within the shrunken Indiana Territory. In June 1816, 43 delegates from the territory’s 13 counties, all in the south, met in Corydon to draft a constitution for the proposed state of Indiana, spending much of their time under a giant elm tree.

The constitution, drafted in 19 days, prohibited slavery, provided free public education and designated Corydon the seat of government. When Indiana was admitted to the Union on Dec. 11, 1816, the new Harrison County Courthouse served as the capitol, with the House of Representative meeting on the first floor and the Senate and Supreme Court meeting on the second floor. After the capital was moved to Indianapolis in 1825, the building continued to serve as the county courthouse until 1927.

Corydon today, with a population of 3,000, is a very pleasant and well-main-

tained town. The capitol, restored to its 1816 condition, is available for tours, as is the home where William Hendricks lived while serving as Indiana’s third governor.

A seated life-size statue of Frank O’Bannon, a resident of Corydon who served as Indiana’s 47th governor, is just south of the capitol. The trunk of “Constitution Elm,” which died in 1925 at a height of 50 feet, is enshrined in sandstone. Other popular attractions include Butt Drugs, a log cabin Harrison lived in while in Corydon, Zimmerman Art Glass and White House Candy.

Our property is located on the north/east corner of Woodland Drive and 116th Street. Due to this corner lot location, Carmel code considers our property to have (2) front yards: yard adjacent to Woodland Drive and yard adjacent to 116th Street. Due to the current code we are unable to build a fence in height taller than 3.5 feet. The goal of this variance request is to allow a 6 foot tall wood fence to be built with a buffer landscaped yard along the 116th Street side. The taller 6 foot fence will give our property greater protection from the sound/sight of the traffic along 116th Street as well as allow for greater protection for our family dog. Further, we believe the fence and buffer yard will increase the beauty and value of our property which in turn increased the beauty and value of the City of Carmel.

Seth Goldstein & Dalhia Goldstein PETITIONERS

Babies pretty much can’t do anything. We have a 1-week-old and all he does is cry, eat, sleep, burp and poop; then he repeats the entire cycle approxiGRAMMAR GUY mately 30 times per day at random intervals. He is dependent on my wife and me to do everything.

Believe it or not, there’s a verbal equivalent of a dependent baby; it’s called a clitic.

A clitic is a language unit (otherwise known as a morpheme) that depends on a neighboring word or phrase to have meaning. For instance, the “‘ll” in “we’ll” doesn’t stand alone as its own word; it is part of a contraction but doesn’t stand alone as a word. The “we” gives the “‘ll” meaning.

There are two kinds of clitics — enclitics and proclitics. We’ll tackle enclitics first.

An enclitic is a clitic that depends on the word that precedes it, as we saw in the “we’ll” example. Enclitics are almost always part of contractions. You’ll, we’ve, they’re, and don’t all have enclitics.

A proclitic, on the other hand, is a clitic whose host word follows it. As a native Okie, my favorite proclitic is y’all.

Many proclitics sound like they come out of a 19th-century British novel where nobles ride in carriages on their way to polo matches. They include the beginning of the contractions in ‘tis, ‘twould, ‘twill, ‘twas and ‘twere. Using these words in a sentence makes you sound like you leapt right out of a Christmas carol.

Sometimes we hear clitics that we usually don’t see written out. For instance, “Do I have ta go to school tomorrow?” is something you might hear any student say on a Sunday night. You’d probably write this out as “to go,” however ,it sounds like “ta go,” where the “ta” is a clitic attached to the word “go.” This even runs together as “half-ta-go,” which almost becomes its own word jumble.
