So, whose road will get repaved?

City officials increase road spending but still can’t provide any details

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com City leaders take pride in Carmel’s roadways. Compared to the neighbor to the south, smooth streets are a luxury to which taxpayers are accustomed.

So when chuck holes government started to pop up around town, everyone from Mayor Jim Brainard to the city council agreed more money should be spent on road repairs. But the cause is up for debate. Some say a prolonged winter did its damage to the streets, but others believe the real culprit is budget-makers who have cut back on street paving year after year.

Regardless, city councilors voted May 19 to spend $700,000 from the city’s rainy day fund to increase the 2014 city roads budget to $3.3 million.

Brainard had asked for an additional $800,000, but councilors were disinclined to approve the additional appropriation because it would move the rainy day fund below less than 10 percent of the city’s budget – which councilors believe is a key factor in determining bond ratings.

If anyone knows how bad the roads are, it’s people who drive all the time for their jobs. Don Gross, president of AA Indiana Driving School, said he spends a lot of time on the roads and hasn’t noticed this year being any worse than others.

“In the city of Carmel, I know we have some typical winter wear on the roads, but surprisingly I think the roads are good compared to many other areas including Marion County,” he said.

As Current in Carmel previously reported, there is no list of streets that need work. Off hand, Brainard mentions areas such as Range Line Road and Hazel Dell Parkway. One of the biggest priorities – Pennsylvania Avenue – was recently completed. Not on this list in the near future is Keystone Parkway, which has seen increased traffic ever since the U.S. 31 closure.

Brainard said he didn’t want to distribute a list just yet.

“The public knows which roads they are when they see the chuck holes,” he said.

Councilor Rick Sharp said he believes the weather is a scapegoat and the real reason is because the mayor has “gutted” streets so he can fund other projects.

“It has less to do with the past winter and more

Carmel has so few potholes it can count them, including this one on Main Street east of Gray Road. (Staff photo)

to do with past practices over the last couple of years,” he said. “Their go-to reduction has always been roads and street paving and that shows.”

In 2006 to 2010, Brainard consistently budgeted for about $2 to $3 million a year for road repairs, but that number dropped to zero in 2011 and less than $100,000 in 2012. He admits that the city is playing catch-up when it comes to funding repairs.

The mayor said he was hit with a double-whammy that caused the cuts - an economic recession and the annexation of Southwest Clay Township.

But all government officials seem to agree that spending a consistent amount on road repaving can save a much larger bill down the road. Street Department Director Dave Huffman said its better to fix a pot hole now instead of resurfacing the entire street when the road cracks into pieces.

“It becomes an issue for the driving public if we don’t get these repairs,” he said. “Not only is it a public safety concern, but it can really damage people’s cars.”

Road Paving Costs

These costs can vary year-by-year, depending on the price of petroleum • $59 per ton – the cost of asphalt • $38 per linear foot – the cost for replacing curbs on streets • $66,000 to $80,000 per mile – the cost for “mill and fill,” where workers grind down the top layer of the street and resurface it.

• $26,000 to $66,000 per mile – the cost for resurfacing multipurpose bike paths. The cost can vary greatly depending on whether the work is contracted out or done by an outside contractor.

One of best cities for kids

Change in leadership

Stephan to lead IURC

Carmel’s list of high-ranking accomplishments grew longer when the city was determined to be one of the best places to raise children in the United States, according to a study conducted by Livability, a research group focused on determining what makes small to mid-sized cities great places to live, work and visit. “When you look at the characteristics that matter most to parents — things like good schools, safe communities, affordability and natural amenities — Carmel stacks up well to other cities.” said Matt Carmichael, vice president of Livability. The study claims Carmel’s highly-rated schools, low crime rate and environmentally conscious city leaders are a huge factor in the city’s ranking. Also included are the multitude of activities for families and children to take part in, including playing at the local waterpark. Read more at www.currentincarmel.com.

A Civic Theatre spokeswoman said that Cheri Dick has decided to phase herself out of the role of executive director. “I’m not leaving completely, though,” Dick said, noting that she will continue to lead the Civic Theatre’s current capital campaign with the help of community volunteer Don Dick Knebel. “Civic is just too dear to my heart.

I couldn’t step away completely.” In the meantime, there is a search to hire an interim executive director. Eventually a national search committee will select another nonprofit leader to fill Dick’s shoes. Dick has been executive director of Civic Theatre since 2005 and oversaw the theatre’s move from Indianapolis to Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts. Read more at www.currentincarmel.com.

Gov. Mike Pence named Carmel resident Carol Stephan as chairperson of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. Stephan was appointed to the IURC earlier this year and becomes the first female Stephan chair of the commission. She replaces former Chairman Jim Atterholt, who recently stepped down to serve as chief of staff in the Office of the Governor. Stephan most recently served as assistant general counsel for the IURC and has extensive experience in state government. Read more at www. currentincarmel.com.

CHS students earn award for film

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel High School freshmen have been involved in creating history projects in Katie Kelly’s AP history class each year. And some eduation of the participants even choose to submit their projects to the National History Day contest once completed.

This year, CHS students Jenny Zhao, Evelyn Shi and Bhavi Sarda competed and won first place in the state competition for an original documentary film they made.

The win means they’ll move on to the national competition June 15 through June 19 in Washington, D.C. “This is a competition where a bunch of students around the country make a project about a specific event in history according to the theme of the year,” Jenny said. “The theme this year was rights and responsibilities.”

That’s what prompted Jenny, Evelyn and Bhavi to focus on the one-child policy in China as the topic of their project.

“Since the theme was rights and responsibilities we talked about the violation of human rights involved and the responsibility of the government to control the population,” Jenny said. “Me and Evelyn are both Chinese, so if our parents had stayed in China we would be affected. In the documentary we had an interview

with Evelyn’s dad because his aunt was affected by this and had an abortion.”

It was clearly a topic the group could resonate with and it showed in the presentation of their project.

“One of the things that really impressed me about this group is how sophisticated their argument was,” Kelly said. “They took on a really tough topic of the one-child policy in China. They looked at it with both positives and negatives, and I think that’s what the judges really liked.”

Besides the positive feedback that CHS teachers receive from the students each year and the success that comes to CHS through this competition, Kelly said that her students participate because of the value found in the learning the students experience along the journey.

“I hope they learn the value of digging deeply into a topic. I think even more than that, as freshmen, I really hope that they can see that they have the ability to do really high-quality awesome work. They can go out and find interviews and experts and don’t have to be spoonfed this information,” Kelly said. “I hope that they start to explore different ways that they can make historical arguments.”

National History Day in Indiana has been organized for more than a decade by the Indiana Historical Society, and more than 4,200 Indiana students take part each year.

School board approves borrowing $6 million

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay School Board approved taking on new debt and refinancing old debt to capitalize on the favorable eduation rates in the current bond market – all without raising the current tax rate.

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

No member of the public spoke out against the plan and the board approved the borrowing and refinancing measures at its meeting May 19.

The district will now refinance more than $26 million in 2005 First Mortgage Bonds that had been used for the construction for West Clay Elementary School. Assistant Superintendent Roger McMichael said the move could end up saving about $1.3 million over the life of the bonds.

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

The loans are necessary to cover budget shortfalls,

Something in common The Museum of Miniature Houses welcomed guests from Carmel’s Japanese sister city, Kawachinagano, to celebrate 20 years of affiliation. The guests were well acquainted with an artist from their town that was at the Carmel International Arts Festival several years ago, displaying miniature thatched roof houses. This same artist has done a “mock-up” of Carmel’s Japanese garden, only from photographs. It is on display on a granite stand in a city building in Kawachinagano. Through the efforts of Chiaki Yoshida, a Carmel resident, the museum was able to give them a translation of its audio guide in Japanese. The staff also presented them with a Museum Of Miniature Houses 20th anniversary plate that was created by Indiana artisan Jane Graber.

New spa services added to salon

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com The Aesthetics Center is joining The Beauty Lounge to bring current clients and new customers a fresh face, literally. The business addition of new medical procedures will make it a full-service spa experience that will melt away any bad day.

Eva Harris of Carmel opened The Beauty Lounge in May of 2012 at 324 W. Main St., and she said she is excited about this month’s addition to her spa. Customers love her popular salon, and she thinks they’ll be happy the combination will make it a salon and medical spa.

“People will fall in love with The Beauty Lounge’s team and space. Clients come in and don’t want to leave,” Harris said. “We stay on top as far as our education, products and services and continue to do so because we genuinely care about each individual client.”

According to Harris, Carmel residents are satisfied with the appointment-only salon but will be pleased with the new services The Aesthetics Center brings.

“Clients love coming in and getting pampered from head to toe. We believe it’s all about the experience from the second you walk in until you leave,” Harris said. “We are a relaxed, calm, cozy and welcoming environment and very personable.”

The Beauty Lounge offers full-service hair, eyelash extensions, nail, makeup, skin care, wax-

ing and spray tanning treatments.

The building is owned by Soori and A.M. Ardalan, and they will bring the medical spa side to the business.

“My husband is adding Cutera Laser for hair removal, spider vein removal, aged or brown spot removal, acne and more aesthetic treatments,” Soori Ardalan said.

A.M. Ardalan has been practicing vascular surgery since 1976, specializing in vascular surgery and wound care, Soori Ardalan said. He will also perform applications of Botox and filler. She will be the administrator.

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentincarmel.com There are all types of therapy for all types of people, but what if your furniture needs help? Do you take that stressed out sofa to a therapist? … And where does it sit? On a now open couch?

New Carmel business Interior Design Therapy recommends calling them before you take your furniture to an expensive session with a shrink.

Interior Design Therapy is a unique and fresh perspective on hiring an interior designer said owner Angie Jakad Fischer.

“Interior Design Therapy is an immediately attainable and affordable solution for those people who need the advice and resources of a professional, but they don’t necessarily want to hire a designer for a long period of time or for their entire project,” she said.

Her business is now open at the Indiana Design Center at 200 S. Range Line Rd., Suite 218, in Carmel. And it’s a familiar local for Fischer.

“When the IDC opened years ago, I was the first designer to sign a lease in the building,” she said. “After taking some time away, I knew when I launched Interior Design Therapy there was no better place for my business. I love being in the building, I am surrounded by friends and colleagues and it really feels like coming home.”

How did she come up with the design therapy idea? Through years of working with different

clients and research in the industry, from the Midwest to the east coast.

“As far as the therapy goes, throughout the years and with many clients, I found there is a common thread among most of them, the psychological or personal reason why they are redesigning, or moving or freshening up a space,” Fischer said. “I try to dive into those reasons, and it helps me decide on which direction to go with the design of a space.”

After graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, Fischer journeyed to Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh where

her taste in interior design evolved into a successful career as a high-end lifestyle boutique owner and designer.

And now she’s working to fill a “gap” in the interior design industry.

“Generation Y is the largest generation in our population, many millennials are buying their first or second home right now; they are notoriously independent – they like instant gratification and have fueled a huge do-it-yourself trend. All of the home improvement shows and websites have contributed to people wanting to do it themselves as well,” Fischer said.

But she noticed people still want and need the advice and reassurance of a professional designer. So she now offers on-the-spot design assistance, without the large financial and time commitment of hiring a fulltime designer.

“I created this concept with the everyday person in mind,” she said. “We all have design questions we want to throw at somebody – and I want to be that somebody who is accessible, knowledgeable and within an hour provide clients with a plan they can execute.”

In a 60-minute one-on-one consultation with Fischer, she will address clients’ design dilemmas and provide direction, solutions and answers. Clients leave a “therapy session” with a plan she calls a prescription on how to solve problems and move forward with a project.

Flotilla helps to ensure water safety

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com Few people likely think of the U.S. Coast Guard and Indiana in the same breath, but when it comes to water safety, volunteers the Hamilton County Coast Guard Auxiliary is hard at work keeping boaters safe.

“We do patrols on bodies of water in the state, Morse, Geist, Brookville Reservoir and the Ohio River,” said Corey Bolon, vice flotilla commander.

“We do public education via boating safety classes, provide boat dealers with boating safety information and vessel safety checks – which are free inspections to make sure boats, kayaks, canoes and paddleboards meet legal requirements of state waters and federally controlled ones, as well.”

Chartered as a flotilla in June 1979 in Delaware County, Ind., it moved to Noblesville in the late 1980s as a detachment from an Indianapolis flotilla. At the time it had more than 10 members but currently is holding course at eight.

“In the Coast Guard you have three entities – active duty, which are the regular, every-day guys. Then there is the reserves and then the auxiliary which is the civilian component,” Bolon said. “They do the gamut – except law enforcement or military-type operations.”

Reaction to the Flotilla from boaters is mixed, Bolon said.

“It’s getting better over the years but some

people still ask what is the Coast Guard doing here in Indiana and so we explain to them that what are and what we do,” he said.

Bolon has been an auxiliary member since the early ’90s – first in the Chicago area – and in Indiana since 2001.

“We are looking for a people out there like me who want to volunteer their time and ways to do that and this is one – especially if you enjoy boats and boating,” Bolon said.

You must be at least 17 years old, a U.S. citizen and able to pass a basic background check to be a flotilla member. Training can range from one to two months or three to four years, depending on the area you want to work in.

“We are definitely in a rebuilding mode this year,” Bolon said. “We have gone through some changes in Hamilton County and are looking to rebound and rebuild.”

Volunteer is the spark behind fireworks

By Gary Boskovich • news@currentincarmel.com When you talk to Jack Badger, it’s absolutely clear that he loves Carmel. He’s lived here for 46 years and has become Carmelfest a valued member of the community.

And he said his annual involvement with CarmelFest and selling Spark Buttons to help offset the cost of Carmel’s Fourth of July fireworks display is one of his favorite volunteer activities.

But this will be the final year for Badger’s participation in that program. He will be turning 80 soon and he said he feels it’s time to turn the reigns over to someone else.

Whoever that is may be hard pressed to match Jack’s energy and passion for selling those Spark Buttons. His goal is to match last year’s sellout.

“Last year we sold all 3,000 of them; the last one wasn’t sold until July 3,” Badger said.

He was pleased that all the buttons were sold but disappointed it took until July 3 for him to do so.

Prospective supporters can find Badger hawking his wares every Saturday at the Farmers Market and on Wednesdays at the gazebo events near City Hall. If that’s not enough, Badger will use an occasional Saturday night to push his Spark Buttons during the Gallery Walk event in Carmel’s Arts & Design District.

Button sales are important to the success of CarmelFest. It helps defray about one-third of the

overall cost of the fireworks display, which has become one of the most impressive in central Indiana.

“If you’re wearing one of these when the fireworks go off on July 4, you yell to everybody around you, ‘I paid for that one,’” Badger said.

Purchasing a Spark Button provides mutual benefit for seller and buyer. It comes with coupons donated by several Carmel merchants.

Buying a lighted button provides coupons valued at more than $140. An unlighted version offers about $60 dollars in coupon savings.

“I started working on this in November and met with 35 businesses. I’ve probably put in over 400 hours in this year. I always say when you buy (a button) you get all your money back big time,” Badger said.

CHS Gradfest offers forbidden fruit Commentary by Jeff Worrell The word on the street – or should I say the hallways of Carmel High School – is they were banned because they VOlunteerism were so delicious. They were a lunchtime favorite judged to be too unhealthy.

The soft, available-only-at-CHS, chewy cookies that every senior can fondly remember have suddenly disappeared from the daily menu.

Although this columnist has been unable to confirm the urban legend passing from classroom to classroom as to why the cookies are no more, I can confirm the decadent lunchroom lady’s cookies are making a grand return; if only for just one evening.

The famous forbidden cookies are just one of the highlights planned for this year’s Gradfest.

The party held each year to keep our seniors safe and give them one final evening together before heading off to follow their dreams.

MaryAnn Williams chairs the 30th anniversary edition of Gradfest. She is quick to recognize and give credit to the founders, Carol and Allan Carlson, Barb Williams and Billie Francis.

“Thirty years later, parents and the business community still come together in a big way to produce a safe and fun event for our seniors,” she said.

MaryAnn is assisted by hundreds of parent volunteers who she said are doing a fabulous

job. They’re volunteers like Kathleen Roop, who is overseeing corporate funding, Gerri Shaffer encouraging parent solicitations and Junior CoChair Kimberly Boston-Smith.

Parents and charitable Carmelites are still encouraged to make a donation. The committee has made it super-easy with a PayPal button available at www.carmelgradfest.org. There you can help the committee reach its goal of raising $24,750. The money is used to, among other things, fund two extremely popular “cash cubes.”

Those are a glass-surrounded closet where the student steps in and tries to grab as many dollar bills as possible while a wind machine blows them wildly about.

It’s a profitable experience for the student inside the cube, but a curious delight for those observing the cash-grabbing techniques deployed.

High School seniors can attend Gradfest from 8 p.m. to midnight May 31. That’s when the CHS freshman cafeteria transforms into Carmel’s version of Disneyland and “Let’s Make A Deal” all rolled into one extremely fun event.

There will even be a cool door prize every 15 minutes and everything is free, especially the cookies.

Local Kiwanis club played a prominent role in helping multitude of Carmel projects get off the ground

CHS Alumni Association president: ‘I know we’re dying and that’s all there is to it.’

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com If anyone had ever stumbled into the Subway restaurant on Carmel Drive early in the morning just looking for a breakfast cover story melt and a cup of coffee, they could be excused for missing the group of men often gathered at the front of the restaurant sharing jokes.

But the members of the Kiwanis Club of Carmel Clay who regularly gathered there have left a legacy of service that can’t be ignored – even as their club shuts down due to a lack of new members.

Club President Hank Starkey said they tried a slew of different approaches to get new members, but nothing worked.

“If we knew why, we would have fixed it,” he said.

The club’s social gatherings often centered on breakfast, and a lot of working people couldn’t attend. Starkey also said that many recent retirees didn’t want to work to the extent that retirees had in the past. But none of that has dimmed the pride club members place in their service accomplishments.

“We’re all proud of everything we’ve done,” Starkey said.

Most commonly recognized for the scholarships the Kiwanis Club awarded to local students or their great pancake breakfasts held twice a year, the volunteers have contributed to a ton of Carmel causes for which they often receive little credit.

“The Carmel Clay Kiwanis Club was small but mighty, loaded with people passionate about improving the lives of children and the community of Carmel. Over the decades, the club has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to

Riley Hospital for Children, bought or shopped for coats for kids, delivered meals to families who needed them, and many, many more endeavors,” said past club president and current Carmel City Councilor Sue Finkam.

During its 51 years of operation, the club has also given away about $500,000 to charitable causes, helped to establish the nonprofit Chaucie’s Place, sponsored local Boy Scout Troop 936, sponsored baseball teams at the Carmel Dad’s Club, organized the largest Key Club in the world at Carmel High School, brought coffee and cooked brats at the start of the Carmel Farmers Market, purchased, rebuilt and updated Friendly the Fire Truck, conducted a Leadership Skills Academy, gathered USO packages, collected and provided magazines to nursing homes and hospitals, conducted an annual cleanup at Inlow Park and even rung bells for Salvation Army.

“We’ve done a lot of things,” said member Ken Wilson. “A lot of things added up throughout the year.”

The current members enjoy each other’s company and said they still plan to meet for breakfast informally. And they said that that there will still be a fall pancake breakfast on the first or second weekend of October – but this time the Lions Club or Home Place neighborhood association will run it.

The club’s charter officially expires in September, but its funds have already been disbursed to various charities. It’s Kohler Thompson Scholarship Fund should last indefinitely, though, and will be administered in the future by the Carmel Education Foundation.

But an old off-shoot of the club will still carry on.

The Kiwanis Club of Carmel Clay sponsored the Golden K Kiwanis Club 27 years ago, and it will now sponsor the Key Club at CHS.

By Terri Spillman • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel High School Alumni Association is desperate for youth. Not the “I need a Botox treatment and can’t fit into my favorite pair of old dungarees” kind of youth. Rather, the alumni association needs an influx of younger members to save the group from extinction.

“I keep saying, ‘I hope we are not the Last of the Mohicans,’” said Executive Board President Ed Wiseman, a 1959 graduate of CHS. “This is what is bothering us. I would hate to be at a point where we get more mature and we cannot do this anymore. We are very much afraid. It is a real sickening feeling.”

The alumni association is open to all graduates of CHS with the main purpose of funding a college scholarship through its Golden Greyhound program awarded to a CHS senior at the annual alumni banquet and recognizing alumni who have contributed greatly to the community through the Hall of Fame.

This marks the 122nd year for the event, which draws an attendance of about 200 people. The total membership of the group is about 400 – a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of Carmel graduates since the school’s inception.

The board of directors is made up of six alumni who graduated between 1957 and 1965 who keep the association operational. According to Wiseman, who has been president primarily by default for the past 19 years, the problem is that younger alumni show no interest in attending the functions or joining the group.

“I know we’re dying and that’s all there is to it,” said Wiseman. “I know when the board is gone, the alumni association will be gone because the young ones don’t care and the school

does not care and that hurts. I have to admit, that hurts all of us. My mother graduated from Carmel, I graduated from Carmel, our sons graduated from Carmel and now our grandchildren will graduate from Carmel. I resent the fact that aside from the scholarship we wouldn’t have a prayer in the world because (the association is) going to be gone in the next few years and that’s a tragedy because it is over 100 years old.”

According to Carmel High School Vice Principal Brad Sever, the school is not affiliated with any alumni association though the groups are allowed to use the school for gatherings. The school has its own Hall of Fame alumni recognition program that is student-driven as opposed to the alumni-driven program by the association.

“The more recognition, we give our kids the better. I think if the alumni association does recognitions too, it’s great,” Sever said.

Restrictions on giving out personal information set by privacy laws coupled with a lack of manpower restricts the alumni association’s ability to mine members, yet a lot of it just boils down to apathy among graduates.

This is what worries Wiseman. “I’d love to have young people. One of the reasons we started the scholarship was to hopefully get some of the younger people interested. When I am in a restaurant and I see people using their phones sitting across from each other and they are not communicating, that is a problem. That’s the reason the alumni association is not working or anything else.”

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Parks gold rush makes statement Heartfelt congratulations to Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation, which is, literally, going for the gold. CCPR has been named one of four finalists for the 2014 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management by the The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association. “I am thrilled. Simply stated, the Gold Medal Award is the benchmark by which all agencies wish to be measured,” says Michael Klitzing, assistant director for CCPR. “Through the hard work and dedication of many people, both in the past and present, CCPR has accomplished much during the past decade when the park board identified winning a gold medal as a long-term goal.” That CCPR is in the discussion tells us this is as much about perseverance as it is about achievement. Through the years, CCPR has overcome numerous obstacles to become one of the shining examples, in our opinion, of how it should be done.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Trend bender Commentary by Terry Anker The world of that which is hip, cool, in-style or otherwise fashionable is slowly slipping from the realm of my comprehension. Maybe it is simply because I am the father of two teenage sons. Maybe it is because I spend a lot more time these days reading balance sheets than GQ. Maybe it is just because the calendar is catching up with me. Regardless of the genesis, my expectation of what might be a particularly stylish, edgy or alternative is woefully overrated. While my kids and their friends are kind enough, politely pointing out the error in my understanding of current pop culture, I know that these matters are no longer in my dominion. And maybe they shouldn’t be.

A well-meaning jokester sent around by Twitter a witticism-of-the-day. We used to do this via facsimile sending blurry images but now it is via a link to a YouTube video. This was of a young man in a car being all-too-excited by a

song on the radio. I laughed at what I thought was the point of the humor – the youngster had not shown restraint in hearing the popular music – but I was way off target. The joke, it seems, was that this kid was enjoying the radio instead of playing what was abundantly obviously his favorite song on his phone or iPod or whatever device. How barbaric is it to wait for a disc jockey to spin the album?

What else do I imagine as classic which others see as hopefully out of style? Hotels used to emulate ancient Tuscan villas. Now they all claim to be modern spas. Is any of it real? Does it matter? Even as trends bend and styles wane, one is reminded that cool is an imagined construct.

Doesn’t knowing this secret ensure our hipness?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”

– Bob Dylan

It’s funny how sometimes just a little thing can completely change your mood. Take my Mother’s Day weekend, humor for example. Saturday began poorly, as I had to endure eight hours of dance hell in the bowels of Lucas Oil Stadium while my youngest competed for a total of nine minutes. On the drive home, my husband compounded my misery by telling me he wouldn’t be returning from out of town that night as planned, but rather the following morning. He was having such a good time with everyone he didn’t want the fun to end!

Nevermind that Sunday was supposed to be my day, the one all year where I am to be pampered and loved. Even with the promise of a DQ turtle sundae, I was extremely frustrated by the time I pulled into my driveway.

Then I discovered that while I was eating over-priced popcorn and judging other dance moms, my younger son and his best friend had literally disappeared. Reports (and his LoJacked phone) had them at Clay Terrace, three miles from our house. This was weird, as they had already walked there earlier in the day.

My calls of course went unanswered. Hoping he was either in a store or actively riding his bike, I took a self-imposed time-out to watch a DVRed Glee episode and cloak my bitterness in hot fudge and caramel. By 8:15 p.m. though, and with only forty-five minutes until said friend was to be picked up, concern (and darkness) set in.

I knew nothing bad had happened, but very quickly every worst-case scenario I could imagine was becoming a genuine possibility in my head. Angry with my spouse, exhausted from the dance competition, and entertaining thoughts of Amber Alerts and ER runs, I headed off muttering Hail Marys and curses in quick succession.

Halfway to the mall I found my 12-year-old, red-faced and laughing, peddling his little heart out down the sidewalk. Relief flooded through me, followed by a huge grin. Trailing his bike were a dozen purple and white balloons, ribbons and all it took but minutes once back home to understand the balloons weren’t for me though, as high-pitched giggles came echoing up the basement stairwell. These two tween-age boys had spent their entire Saturday plotting to acquire helium for the chance to talk like Looney Toons characters!

And that, my friends, completely changed my outlook. As a mother, seeing pure joy on the face of one of your children is the best remedy for a crappy day. Peace out.

Don’t like the federal government?

Are you fed up with Washington? If not, and you think things are fine, then keep doing what you’re doing – voting Republican, opinion Democrat or just not voting at all. Then nothing will change – except, of course, the deficit will continue to rise (your portion is only $55,000, or $220,000 for a family of four) and federal agencies will continue to encroach on your freedom (for your own good, they say).

But if you are concerned about where America is headed and think we need to change direction, then you need to change direction. Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Republicans, if you keep voting Republican, and Democrats, if you keep voting Democrat, and non-voters, if you keep not voting, don’t expect different results. If you don’t change, Washington won’t change.

I used to be a Republican because I thought they were the party of small government. But then I discovered that Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives, where spending bills must originate, for 14 of the past 18

years, and our deficit grew from less than $5 trillion to more than $17 trillion. Four of those years, they controlled not only the House, but also the Senate and the White House, and the deficit still increased $2.2 trillion. Republicans say they’re for small government, but their actions speak otherwise.

I’ve changed. I joined the Libertarian Party. Libertarians truly believe in individual freedom, free enterprise and small, limited government – only large enough to protect us and our property from those who would use force to harm us, yet small enough not to overstep its authority.

The Libertarian Party has selected me to be on the November ballot for Indiana’s fifth congressional district. If you agree with me that we need to change direction, please take a look at my website, www.kromforcongress.com.

Our future, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future depend on your getting involved!

READERS’ VIEWS You, too, can help protect orangutans Editor, Once upon a time, there were beautiful, lush forests where animals roamed free. Now go forward into the present. There are a few animals that still roam the destroyed forests and those have no homes. And many of these forests are home to a much endangered animal, the orangutan. There are no predators for the orangutans in the wild. Their only predator is humans. There were 60,000 orangutans in the world just ten years ago. Now there are only 40,000. Most of the decline in population has come from the loss

of their habitat from people trying to get palm oil.

Not all palm oil products are bad though. There are products that use RSPO certification. This is a certification that is earned when the product’s palm oil comes from a sustainable palm oil plantation. What are things that you can do to help?

Only purchase RSPO-certified products. This will be labeled on the item and can usually be found at your local supermarket.

Incumbent rewarded despite failings Editor, There is too much truth to your column about the low voter turnout in the May 6th primary. While doing research for an English Comp class in college several years ago, I found that the original definition of “politician” was “a corrupt statesman;” a derogatory moniker to be avoided at that time but, no longer. Republican voters renominated, for their congressional representative, a “politician” who, af-

ter previously being elected, did the exact opposite of what was promised while campaigning. Incumbents certainly have an advantage but they also have a documented record of their performance so, absence apathy and ignorance, there is no excuse for rewarding dishonesty. Shame on those who blindly voted to continue to be represented by another merely dishonest politician.

I-Beam from World Trade Center

SPONSORED IN PART BY:

This year’s CarmelFest 4th of July Parade will feature an I-Beam from the World Trade Center provided by the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighter Memorial committee. On February 9, 2011 the committee was granted ownership of a single steel beam from the WTC tower, measuring approximately 4 feet long. The beam is most likely a floor joist from one of the first ten floors of one of the towers.

This I-beam was picked up and transported from JFK Hangar 18 to Indiana on a tractor trailer draped with American flags. On April 9, 2011, the beam was escorted by the Indiana State Police and approximately 15,000 motorcycles from the Richmond, Indiana to downtown Indianapolis.

After arriving in Hamilton County, the beam was mounted on a custom built trailer so that it can be transported and displayed at community events across the county, in an effort to bring the artifact to the people before being

permanently placed in one location. It is the desire of the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighter Memorial committee to incorporate the artifact into a memorial honoring fallen firefighters in Hamilton County and recognizing all those firefighters and civilians - who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

The Centier Bank 4th of July Parade at CarmelFest is set for Friday-July 4th at 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. For more details on the Parade route, visit www.CarmelFest.net. The Parade steps off from AAA Way and Carmel Drive, heading west to Range Line, north to Main Street and east to Carmel High School.

Teenage vocal sensation comes to The Palladium Jackie Evancho, discovered on ‘America’s Got Talent’ at age 10, will sing classical songs

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com In some ways, Jackie Evancho is your average 14-year-old. Right now, she’s studying for her finals as the school year comes to a close. She is about to take her Keystone Exams – Pennsylvania’s stanmusic dardized test, just like Indiana’s ISTEP exams. She likes to go to movies with her friends, play with her four dogs and go to church with her family every Sunday.

But she also performed in front of President Obama at the lighting of the White House Christmas Tree and she has acted in a film with Robert Redford.

And with her 2010 release, Evancho became the youngest solo artist in history to go platinum.

Ever since she sang on “America’s Got Talent” at age 10, Evancho has been touring the country and filling concert halls. She hits the notes throughout the scales and sings with a precise skill comparable to trained vocalists who have studied for decades.

Evancho will bring her warm soprano voice to the Palladium on June 1.

She’s performing a weekend show because her parents try to limit her performances on weekdays. After learning through online school for years as she toured, Evancho said she started back up in public school in January. Now her parents want her to have time to be a normal teenager.

“My parents don’t have to overload my schedule because they do want me to have time at home and be a normal kid,” she said.

Of course, when you spend your weekends singing to thousands of people, it’s hard to blend in. Evancho said it’s nice to make new friends, but sometimes it can be, “annoying because there is always the middle school drama now.”

There’s the typical teenage drama of girls being jealous of other girls.

But Evancho said she’s grateful to meet people who like her for who she is, not because she has released four albums. And to those that might prejudge her, it’s their loss, she said.

“People won’t give me the time of day to know me. That’s why I have such few friends, but the friends I do have are really good friends,” she said. “I’m really happy with the friends I have. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As she’s gotten older, Evancho said she’s received a lot more responsibility and she really enjoys taking charge of her career. She loves working with charities such as the Humane Society and traveling the country, but she eschews the celebrity attitude and lifestyle. To her, the reason she loves the job is because she loves to perform. Ever since she watched the movie version of “The Phantom of the Opera,” she said she wanted to sing on stage. And when she performs, everything else melts away.

“When I’m on stage, I don’t actually think of anything,” she said. “That’s why I say the music possesses me. I sometimes don’t even remember what happened.”

She’s got a lot on her plate, but Evancho said the busy schedule never

Rogue creator hosts open house for other designers

NOW OPEN! Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Sat. 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Looking for a unique piece of furniture or accessory that makes your décor pop? Rogue Décor Company is the only showroom in the Indiana Design Center to offer re-purposed items. Adam Graef, owner of Rogue Décor Company, has the ability to find old artifacts and create entirely new pieces.

The sofa table on display is one example.

The idea began with a set of antique apothecary drawers. From that, Adam welded an iron framework, added antique iron wheels and then finished the piece with custom woodwork. He crowned the piece with a glass table top.

The range of products that Adam creates is impressive - everything from countertops to furniture to steel image imprinting. If you can imagine it, Adam can likely create it or find it.

“I began with the concept of creating a space where people could find that one-ofa-kind piece that they can’t find anywhere else,” he said.

To supply his showroom with the one-ofa-kind pieces, Adam works in a shop near the Monon. He works in multiple mediums including metal, wood and leather. His father, Kurt Graef, a retired architect, also shows custom stained glass pieces in the showroom.

Graef draws from other vendors, as well.

He sells a custom-order New Dimensions sofa line, which offers more than 300 different fabric choices. The prices for pieces in the showroom reflect their uniqueness, with many sell for several thousand dollars. But for the novelty shopper, there are unusual finds, too, such as handbags made from hardback book bindings.

Rogue Décor conducted an open house luncheon for designers on May 21, with food supplied by Blue Moon. Among those attending, to name a few were: Denise Friermood from Decors and More, April Richwalski from Pedcor Design Group, Erin Sanford and Lauren Coley from Mitsch Design Group, Daren Redman, textile artist, and Kay Graef, Adam Graef’s mother.

The showroom is open to the public and is at 200 S. Rangeline, Suite 113, in the Indiana Design Center. To contact Adam call 810-1658 or email adam@roguedecor.com.

By Karen Kennedy Comings, Goings and Edible News: Carmel: Pad Thai in Sophia Square is slated to open early June. Gigi’s Cupcakes is putting the finishing touches on its new spot on 146th Street, and plans to be open by May 30.

Libations: Kir Royale: A light and refreshing brunch alternative. Pour good quality champagne into a champagne flute and add a splash of Chambord (black raspberry liqueur.) Garnish with a lemon twist. Don’t prefer champagne?

Forget the “royale” and substitute a light white wine, such as pinot grigio.

DeLish: Fresh Mango Salsa: Perfect with blackened chicken, fish or pork.

Cut two mangos into cubes (or buy pre-cut mango at Trader Joe’s and dice!)

Add one diced jalapeno, ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro, two crushed cloves of garlic, a teaspoon of unseasoned rice vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes prior to serving to allow flavors to meld.

Belfry stages ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com The stage production of “To Kill a Mockingbird” will be coming to the Belfry Theatre in Noblesville this month. theatre Based on the classic novel by Harper Lee and directed by Carla Crandall, the play promises to engage audiences with the Belfry Theatre’s small stage and largerthan-life cast.

“As an artist, it’s important to give to the community a realistic interpretation of life. Our job as artists is to help the general public remember our history,” said director Carla Crandall, noting that she also enjoyed giving opportunities to young actors.

The cast runs the gamut from seasoned actors to complete newcomers.

Jack Hittle, who will play the role of Atticus Finch, works as an attorney in real life and is a partner at the prominent Noblesville law firm of Church, Church, Hittle & Antrim. His wife and daughter, both English teachers, served as encouragement to join the production after a 20year hiatus from acting.

“The chance to play a classic role like this was too good to pass up,” Hittle said.

The Belfry Theatre, which seats 106, draws on the proximity of its small stage to engage the audience in a far more intimate manner than most typical theatres.

The adult subject matter of the original novel,

DESIGN BUILD LANDSCAPES The actors of the Belfry Theatre recreate a courtroom scene from “To Kill a Mockingbird.” (Submitted photo)

including racial inequality and sexual assault, isn’t lost on the cast.

Katelyn Maudlin, who performs as Mayella Ewell, said she has a personal stake in the play’s message. Both her brother and sister were adopted from the African nation of Ghana, and her brother experiencing bullying based on his skin color after moving to the United States.

“Sometimes you need to be reminded of how far we’ve come,” said actress Tina Humphrey, who performs as Calpurnia.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” • 8 p.m. May 30, 31, June 6, 7, 13, 14; 2 p.m. June 8, 15 • The Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave. in Noblesville • Tickets start at $15 • For more information call 773-1085 or visit www.thebelfrytheatre.com.

‘Wizard of Oz’ coming to CHS

By Jessica Fox • jessica@currentincarmel.com

The Christian Youth Theatre troupe will perform “The Wizard of Oz” at Carmel High School during the weekend of May 30. theatre The theatre troupe gives preschool to high-school age students the opportunity to get involved with the production of wholesome family entertainment.

But according to the creative director of the performance, Tyler Hutchinson, this is not just a kids’ performance. The students involved can perform at a colligate level.

Hutchinson said that by working with the students, he gets to see them grow as performers, as well as spiritually.

The script of their performance is original, like the movie, but it still has a few twists added in to make it exciting for the audience. To better celebrate the 75th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz” Christian Youth Theatre wanted to keep with tradition, Hutchinson said.

“I am very confident that this will be one of the best that CYT will have produced,” he said.

The student performers are very excited and confident as well, Hutchinson said. After coming in to practice every week, students really got the opportunity to bond and watch the whole artistic process come together.

Their production will include a live pit orchestra consisting of performers from Carmel and Indianapolis.

Hutchinson said he is excited for the students to have such a great opportunity. He said the best part of being the artistic director of this performance was seeing how the performance has come together at the end.

vices. Senior Citizens Organization offers card games, Bingo, beginning line dancing, dominos, exercise, Wii bowling, ping pong, pinochle, puzzles, knitting circles and a pool table.

The center, which is located across the street from Noblesville High School at 18336 Cumberland Rd., is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Senior Citizens Organization, a 501(c)(3) charity, is a self-supporting organization founded in September 1977 and incorporated in 1978. For more information, call 773-6904 or visit www.seniorcitizensorg.org.

The Westfield Parks Dept. has created a new monthly program for ages 50 and older to get out and meet new diversion people.

“Bingo Brunch is a program that came from requests by certain community members. They reached out suggesting a place they could do some activity, meet new friends and play games,” said Brittany Goger, recreation program coordinator. “By offering this program we reach out directly to the senior community.”

Goger said Bingo Brunch also provides the Westfield Parks Programming Facility, 330 East Main St., to be used for more activities.

“We get people in there and utilize it for what it was really built for,” she said. “It’s a good opportunity for a lot of different people.”

Dates for the first three programs are June 4, July 9 and Aug. 6. Each event runs 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Goger said the program begins with food and time to socialize and

is followed by an hour of Bingo with prizes.

“We will play seven rounds of Bingo with a cover-all to end the event,” she said.

The first brunch on June 4 will be catered by Chick-fil-A, but Goger said different food selections will be offered at each event.

“We’ll have a different theme for each one so hopefully they’ll keep coming back,” she said.

Cost is $10 per person, per program and covers food and activities.

Goger said the first three events are sponsored by Magnolia Springs at Bridgewater.

“We’re reaching out to different businesses to partner with us to donate prizes in gift cards,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for them to get their name out and new people in their stores.”

Those interested in participating in the Bingo Brunch can register by visiting www.westfield.in.gov/ department/?structureid=128 or calling 804-3183. Goger said registrations also can be made in person at the City Service Center, 2728 E. 171st St.

With average central Indiana home prices reaching $165,238 in April 2014, home sales prices are up 8.2 percent comReal estate pared to April 2013.

Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first four months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year.

Hamilton County was one of the areas that saw improvements with a 10.4 percent increase bringing the average price to $260,670, year-to-date.

• In Carmel, the overall average sales price rose by 9.6 percent to $336,096 from $306,611 compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the home sales in Carmel last month, 19 were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 56 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 45 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 25 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and 10 were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Prospective homebuyers in Carmel have

more homes from which to choose. Last month, there were 572 homes available for sale, while there were 533 homes on the market April 2013.

• Homes in Carmel are selling at a slightly faster pace. So far this year, homes have stayed on the market an average of 86 days compared to 92 days last year.

• Home sales have been slow to thaw from the harsh winter conditions. In April 2014, 155 homes in Carmel sold, which is a decrease of 49 homes compared to April of last year.

While we would have expected to see sales increase, given the low interest rates, it’s difficult to directly compare last month’s home sales against April 2013. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison because April 2013’s sales were the highest we’ve seen in central Indiana.

How to address your hearing loss Commentary by Marty Wood The hearing aid industry has historically focused on low price offers to attract patients. Advertising attempts to generate interest with small, low cost products that somehearing times leaves the impression that their product will work for everyone. The reality is that this advertising works for the existing hearing aid wearer looking for the ability to hear better than their current aids allow, or hoping to avoid the high cost to replace quality hearing aids.

So what attracts the first time hearing aid patient? Education at a local level is likely the most effective means of helping people recognize some of the causes and effects of hearing loss. There is strong and growing evidence that hearing loss can have a detrimental impact on many other health concerns. In a changing health environment, it is more important than ever to address cost efficient options.

Treatment for hearing loss can be one such cost effective option.

But why do today’s baby boomers, one of the healthiest and most vibrant demographics in history, fail to recognize their loss and neglect the frustration from loved ones and co-workers that are forced to live with their loss?

5 STEPS TO HEARING BETTER WITH HEARING AIDS 1. One must first acknowledge their hearing loss 2. Make a personal choice to achieve better hearing with a good attitude 3. Get a hearing test and understand your hearing loss and potential health impacts 4. Establish realistic expectations

5. Practice, time and patience with your new hearing aids, and you will soon enjoy what you can now hear again For me, steps one and two came after several years of frustration by those around me and what had become an automatic “what” response numerous times a day. Then I made a decision to move to step three and the intriguing education of how most of us consistently ignore one of the five senses our brain uses every day to fully function. Once I fully understood the potential health issues as well as what my audiogram told me about my hearing loss, the remaining steps became much easier. As an active 58-year-old, I wanted to stay that way and not allow my brain to be deprived of better hearing. For me, I was pleasantly surprised from the initial expectation I had regarding hearing aids. The technical capability and clarity was like normal hearing.

The size and lightness of the hearing aid was a surprise as well. I have to admit that having others know I was a hearing aid wearer did not really concern me.

While dieting and exercising help our bodies stay in shape, addressing your hearing loss will help your mind to stay in shape.

Temple Wall at Edfu. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The ark or Edfu Commentary by Don Knebel People have long speculated about the fate of the Ark of the Covenant the Bible says the Israelites carried during their Exodus travel from Egypt. Although of no help on that question, a well-preserved Egyptian temple may provide clues about the origins of that famous box.

The Temple of Edfu was built by the Greek rulers of Egypt beginning in the third century B.C. to honor Horus, the falcon god of the sky. Following the model of much earlier temples, a small statue of Horus resided in a niche in the temple’s Holy of Holies, accessible only by the pharaoh and the high priest. Priests occasionally transported the god statue away from the temple in an ark (box) resting in a miniature boat carried on two poles.

A replica of the ark now displayed in the Holy of Holies is based on a wall relief showing the ark with its poles sitting on a pedestal in a boat floating on the Nile. Two bird-like creatures face each other above the ark, their wings extending over the seat on which Horus sat.

So what does Edfu’s ark of Horus have to do with the Ark of the Covenant? According to the

Bible, the Ark of the Covenant, enthroning the invisible Jewish God, was carried on two poles attached by rings to the base. The Ark incorporated two “cherubim” facing each other, their wings extending over the “mercy seat” from which God spoke. When the Israelites built their Temple in Jerusalem, they ensconced the Ark in its Holy of Holies, which the Jewish High Priest entered once each year. Jewish soldiers carried God in the Ark as they went to battle the Philistines.

The Temple of Edfu was built following the Exodus. So the ark of Horus might have drawn on descriptions of the Ark of the Covenant. The striking resemblances could be coincidental.

However, temples erected before the Exodus contain similar, less-well-preserved, images of arks transporting Egyptian gods. It seems likely that the Israelites, as they left Egypt, carried their invisible God in an ark similar to the ones with which they were familiar.

After 15 years: Master bath design with resale in mind Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home, located in Southport, had lived with their early ’90s master blueprint for bathroom for 15 years. improvement “Knowing that we will someday sell the house, we knew the bathroom would deter people from purchasing the home. We decided we might as well have the work done now so we can enjoy it until moving day comes.”

BATHROOM DESIGN ELEMENTS: “Switching out the hunter green for a clutter-free and Asian-inspired design were the main goals for our master bathroom.” To achieve this look, several components were added. To separate the tub and shower area from the rest of the bathroom, black pebble tile was installed as a shower accent wall and for the shower and tub floor. Eastern Blanco wall tile with standard white grout was chosen to compliment the black pebble tile giving the area the “sleek look” the homeowners had envisioned.

FREE-STANDING TUB: To add to the Asian-inspired look, the homeowners selected a Victoria + Albert free-standing tub. Not only is the tub designed to fit in a smaller space, but the material itself is made of finely ground volcanic limestone called “Quarrycast” – making it lightweight, warm to the touch and easy to clean.

CUSTOM VANITY & COUNTERTOP: Designed for functionality, the custom double vanity not

before & after

only provides extra storage space, but it also was designed to keep the countertop clutter-free. Two full-extension drawer stacks installed on the outsides of the base cabinetry give ample storage space for toiletries and other bathroom supplies. Elevated tower cabinets installed on the outsides of the Corian countertop are perfect for hiding electrical outlets and cords.

Because the homeowners did not like wall-mounted lighting, a custom bulkhead with matching crown was built to house the recessed lighting directly above the vanity. To complete the look, brushed satin nickel cabinet hardware and plumbing fixtures were installed.

RESULT: All elements came together to give the homeowners the Asian-inspired bathroom of their dreams. “The tub is our favorite part of the whole bathroom. We love the clean lines and the angles of the tub. It is the perfect spot to relax after a long day.”
