By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Officer Brian Schmidt, of the Carmel Police Dept.’s narcotics division, said Leo wasn’t your average dog. He wasn’t just a work partner. And he wasn’t just a law enforcement pet. He was something more.

“I’ve had other dogs, and I love them, but the bond with a work dog is 10 times that,” he said.

“It’s hard to explain. He was a great dog. I was blessed to have him. He was with me more than anyone else. He was with me more than my family. He was with me more than my wallet. To not have that interaction anymore is tough.”

Leo, who was 5 1/2 years old, was an English Labrador and bull-terrior mixed breed search dog for CPD for the last four years, all with Schmidt.

It was Schmidt’s first time working with a K-9 partner, and it took him 12 years to be assigned to one, something he wanted for years. Now that he’s lost his partner, he said it’s tough but he plans on working with another.

“Most of us that work with dogs, that’s all we ever wanted to do,” he said. “So when you lose it, you want another one as soon as possible.”

On June 3, Leo was having a routine neutering surgery when the veterinarian discovered a large, cancerous mass that was not operable. The mass appeared to be a congenital defect that encompassed several vital areas, and there was no treatment that would have allowed Leo to survive. The mass was at risk of bursting, leaving Leo to face a painful death, so Schmidt made a tough choice. Leo died that day.

Leo was born in 2010 in Holland and was brought to the United States for police work by Vohne Liche Kennels. He began training to sniff for drugs, missing people and evidence in 2012, and he lived with Schmidt. Leo was good at his job, Schmidt said.

“Once I brought out his harness, he’d go crazy because he’d love to track,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt had worked nights his whole career but was moved to days when he got Leo. Schmidt said Leo taught him about community policing because there’s not as much community interaction at night. Leo wasn’t an apprehension dog, so he didn’t bite, which meant the public could pet him. Often at a scene, Schmidt said there might be a child crying or someone who was upset, and Leo could help calm them down

since he liked everyone.

“He was very friendly, and the public got to have a lot more interaction with him than your usual working dog,” he said. “A search dog was his main focus, but he also, by accident, became a therapy dog sometimes.”

But when it was time to get to work, Leo was all business, Schmidt said.

“His last seizure in April was a little over 25 pounds of marijuana and a little over $700 in cash,” he said. “That was a pretty good catch here in Carmel.”

Ready – Set – Celebrate

By Cindy Roberts-Greiner To make the most of your CarmelFest celebration, here are some tips: • Pack light – but bring some essentials - A water bottle, small packets of wet naps (for sticky fingers or just to cool off), sunscreen, cell phone, breath spray or mints (in case you indulge in a festival-food-gyro).

• CarmelFest allows coolers to bring in your own food & drinks - but festival fare is great and food & beverage vendors are plentiful. SunKing hosts a beer & wine tent.

• Know the times & stages for your favorite shows - CarmelFest offers Free Entertainment on 3 stages. The complete schedule is on our web site and signs are posted by each stage.

• Make a Meeting plan for picking up teens or joining friends. The festival will be filled with lots of people. Agree on a meeting spot (in advance).

• Determine a parking plan (or better yet – walk or bike to the festival) close-by free lots include the Palladium Garage (with shuttle transport to festival)

and Indiana Design Center; bikes can be racked at "Pedal & Park" on the Monon.

• Stake out your space - There's room for your own chairs & blankets on the Gazebo lawn. There are picnic tables and grassy spots by the Japanese Garden (south side of the KidZone area.)

The North Zone area has tables with umbrellas and spots to set up chairs.

• Leave your pets at home – Please respect the “no pets” policy for the safety of your pets and festival goers.

CRC expects to save $2M by prepaying debt

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Redevelopment Commission will use money from a supplementary reserve account to pay $4.8 million in debt early to save nearly $2 million in fufinance ture interest costs.

In 2016, the CRC will pay $2.3 million and save approximately $900,000 in interest, according to CRC Director Corrie Meyer. The remaining balance will be paid off by 2018 and will save another $1 million. The CRC is obligated to pay off these loans by 2034, Meyer said.

The debt is an installment purchase agreement through Village Financial, LLC and primarily finances construction of the parking garage at the Carmel City Center.

The debt prepayments will be made using the CRC’s supplemental reserve account.

Currently, there’s $4.8 million in the account, Meyer said, and an upcoming deposit will bring the account to $5.6 million. She said another half million will be deposited by the

end of the year, bringing the total to approximately $6 million.

Meyer said even after taking out $2.3 million this year, the CRC will still have plenty of funds to make its other debt payments without depleting the reserve account.

The Village Financial loans made headlines in 2014 when then Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray questioned the CRC about how the deal was set up and when payments were due. City officials claim that because of a miscommunication, interest was accruing, but payments weren’t being made. Later that year, the CRC saw one of the Village Financial loans, a $1 million balance, paid off by Pedcor when that company bought the building that formerly housed Shapiro’s Deli.

Meyer said it is a complicated deal and one the city and the CRC will be glad to have off its books soon.

“It’s a great deal for the city because it helps us reduce our only variable rate debt obligation,” Meyer said.

Train show coming to Indy

By Lauren Boughner news@currentincarmel.com The National Train Show is coming to Indianapolis July 3 to 10, and Mr. Muffin’s Trains in Carmel will be a featured HOBBY stop on the tour for enthusiasts and collectors.

The shop on Carmel Drive has been a hit with model train lovers since it opened in November 2013. Owner Steven Nelson said some locals bring their children every Saturday, and others come from all over the state to see the 40,000 model trains in his collection and enjoy fresh-baked muffins made by his wife, Liz. The train show is expected to bring in a lot of extra traffic to the shop.

“I’m sure we’ll be slammed that week,” Nelson said.

The National Train Show is put on by the National Model Railroad Associaton and holds its convention in a different city each year. Nelson said he remembers taking his children to the event when they were young, and he is excited the show will be in his home city.

Having an expansive layout in the shop means a lot of preparation and work for

Nelson said his store is like his other home, and he feels that his trains are like children, in a way.

“I’ll have to be back there to watch them,” he said. “Make sure they behave.”

The National Train Show may be primarily for train enthusiasts, but anyone is welcome to stop by Mr. Muffins’ Trains.

“For us, it’s all about introducing the hobby to families,” Nelson said.

The Hamilton County Leadership Academy celebrated its 25th anniversary June 9 with a luncheon at the Ritz anniversary Charles in Carmel. More than 240 HCLA alumni and friends attended the event, which featured a panel discussion moderated by Legacy Fund President Terry Anker.

Roberts said he has served as Sargent at Arms during the last 16 rotary club presidents.

“A lot of things I do are connected to rotary,” he said. “With CarmelFest, we do a lot of volunteering.”

Roberts has lived in Carmel for 30 years. He served as a charter member of the Castleton Rotary Club in 1984, and in 1999 he transferred to the Rotary Club of Carmel.

The award is given to club members for their gift of service to the community, and Roberts’ award also recognizes his sense of humor.

Three CHS students among nation’s 20 elite chemistry campers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Twenty of the nation’s top high school chemistry students recently gathered education to compete for four spots on a U.S. Chemistry Olympiad team.

Three of those students were from Carmel High School.

The CHS students, Miles Dai, Brendan Yap and Allen Zhang, attended an American Chemistry Society-sponsored study camp at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va., from May 31 to June 12, receiving college and graduate-level training with an emphasis on organic chemistry.

Although none of the three was selected for the U.S. team that will compete in the 48th International Chemistry Olympiad July 23 to Aug. 1 in the Eastern European country of Georgia, they said it was a valuable experience.

“I think the best part of the competition is being able to talk to people who share the passion for learning higher level chemistry,” said Dai, a recent CHS graduate who is headed to MIT. “At the summer study camp, you get to meet 19 other students who pursue similar interests and share similar challenges.”

Yap said the students learn an abridged version of an undergraduate curriculum for chemistry.

“It helps a lot with learning a lot of problem solving and learning laboratory skills,” Yap said.

Yap, who will be a senior in August, will be eligible to compete again.

“Next year my goal would be to make the top Dai four in the U.S.,” Yap said.

This was Dai’s second trip to the camp.

“At the study camp, you are expected to perform at a much higher level than you are normally used to, and that can often be quite shocking the first year,” said Dai, who is considering majoring in computer science. “My first year, the assessments and concepts were so much more difficult than I was accustomed to. Having the mental preparation and Yap expecting this difficulty the second time around was extremely helpful both to my problem solving and my approach to the summer camp as a whole.”

Zhang, a junior-to-be, said the camp was intensive with four hours of lecture in the morning, followed by four hours of lab in the afternoon.

“One day we would have an assessment and the next day we would go over the assessment Zhang and review it,” Zhang said. “It was a learning experience, but at the same time very competitive.”

Help vets find freedom from hunger Commentary by Cindy Hubert The Fourth of July weekend is a time for celebration and a moment of reflection on our blessings and freedoms.

GIVING BACK We celebrate our nation’s birthday and give thanks to those in our armed forces, past and present. This year, I’m asking you to support our veterans with more than just kind words. I’m asking you to give a veteran hope that they will not go hungry by supporting one of the many Gleaners programs that provide essential meals to those who have served our country.

Gleaners Food Bank delivered more than 1 million pounds of food to Hamilton County in 2014 and has seen an increase in the number of food-insecure people rise year after year in what is considered to be one of the most affluent counties in our state. Elderly veterans are part of a growing hunger crisis among our seniors and the thousands of food-insecure people in Hamilton County. You might not be able to see hunger, but it’s always there, in

our neighborhoods, our schools and work places.

Gleaners’ partner agencies like Stilts Spirit – A Giving Tree and Carmel UMC Food Pantry feed veterans of every age and gender. The Gleaners Mobile Pantry is a food pantry on wheels that puts food, including fresh produce and meat, directly into the hands of those in need. These programs are vital in our battle against hunger.

While we strive to eliminate hunger, the reality is that there are thousands of food-insecure people in Hamilton County every day. It doesn’t take much to fill a bowl with Gleaners Food Bank; for every $1 donated, Gleaners can provide three meals to a hungry veteran. Your donation can help us support those that have already sacrificed so much for our freedom.

Honor our vets and visit gleaners.org/give.

Cindy Hubert is president and CEO of Gleaners Food Bank.

Anticipation builds for parade

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The anticipation gets bigger for the CarmelFest parade each year. It’s an annual tradition where attendees will carmelfest stake out the best parade-watching spot with chairs in place days ahead of time.

Each year, more chairs are left staking out spots by the roads earlier and earlier, said Peggy Powell, parade director for CarmelFest.

“It’s funny,” she said. “People will take police tape or ropes and save their spots. They are really excited about the parade.”

Range Line Road seems to be a popular spot for viewers to stake out space. Everyone has his or her own idea of the best viewpoint.

“I think the best spot is under a nice, shade tree along Range Line Road,” Powell said.

Minor disagreements might occur when someone ends up sitting in someone else’s chairs. At times, chairs are moved, but that’s a rarity. Most people respect the “dibs” system, and the first-come-first-serve nature of reserving a parade view with chairs.

The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. July 4, but attendees are advised to arrive at approximately 9 a.m. The roads will be closed shortly before the parade, and crowds gather early.

Viewers bring coolers and snacks and know they’ll be there for a few hours. The parade should end at approximately 12:15 p.m.

As for parking, many attendees decide to

take their bicycles or walk since roads are closed, but many people arrive prior to the road closures and park in one of the city’s free lots or garages, such as the Indiana Design Center, Sophia Square or the Carmel City Center.

City Councilor Bruce Kimball said a “park ’n’ ride” for cyclists will be set up off of Gradle Drive near the Monon Trail for those attending the parade.

Dogs aren’t allowed at CarmelFest, but they are allowed to watch the parade, although Powell warns that there will be loud noises.

CCPL hosts Dragon Boat Festival

The Carmel Clay Public Library recently hosted the Dragon Boat Festival, which included storytelling, calligraphy, crafts, dancing and a Chinese Art Exhibition. The festival, made possible through a partnership between the Carmel Clay Library, Carmel-Xiangyang Sister City Committee and the Indy Asian American Times had a standing-room-only crowd during the dances and songs presented by members of the ICCCI Show Group, Sunshine Group and Xiaodi Choir. The festival also included storytelling by Yuzhou (Echo) Wu, who has been promoting Chinese culture since she came to the U.S. in 2006. Wu, a Carmel resident since 2014, started a Chinese Language Learning Club for children and is an active volunteer at the Carmel Clay and Hussey-Mayfield Memorial public libraries.

Last year Danielle Rothchild made a dress made out of luffas.

Danielle Rothchild managed to combine two interests for her Family, Career and Community Leaders of America recycling project.

“I’ve always had a passion for fashion and helping the environment,” Rothchild said.

So Rothchild, who will be a junior at Carmel High School in August, made a dress with cupcake liners.

Rothchild Rothchild, 16, participated in the Recycle and Redesign category STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) Event state competition in late February, qualifying for the national competition on July 4 in San Diego. FCCLA is a nonprofit national career and technical organization for students in family consumer science classes (fashion, interior design, cooking, child development).

Rothchild earned a silver medal for her fiveminute presentation on her dress. The top two students in the state qualify for the national competition.

She had qualified for nationals in 2015 by winning gold for creating a bath pouf dress, a shower dress made of luffa sponges, rubber duckies and Dial soap wrappers. She couldn’t go to nationals in Washington, D.C., because of a commitment to a summer camp.

“I feel I … showed more skills on this dress,” Rothchild said. “I made it a lot more complex than last year. This year I made a wedding dress with a train and veil.”

The veil was made from aluminum pop tabs.

“I put tulle over it because one of my hobbies is I like to make tutus,” she said.

Rothchild got the inspiration for her new dress by helping clean out her grandparents’ home.

“They had so many cupcake liners,” Rothchild said. “People waste so much paper a day, so I decided to make a dress out of the cupcake liners.”

Rothchild said she is preparing a spunky presentation for the judges.

“It’s kind of like ’Shark Tank’ because you are trying to sell your project to the judges to win a gold,” Rothchild said. “I’m going to have a business plan on why you should buy this dress.”

Rothchild said she is planning to become a chemical engineer for fabrics, combining her love of science and fashion. She would like to go to Purdue or Ohio State.

Former CFD fire chief still helping others as Clay Township Trustee

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com From 1973 to 2006, Doug Callahan was dedicated to saving people’s lives as a member of the Carmel Fire Dept. He eventually served as fire chief for 11 years.

But even in his retirement, Callahan is rushcover story ing to the rescue of those in need.

As Clay Township trustee, Callahan helps provide emergency financial assistance for those who desperately need it. Their house might have burned down or they lost their job and can’t afford to pay for a medication, such as a diabetic on insulin.

It’s a service many people don’t realize is available, especially when it seems most people think that residents of Hamilton County are all wealthy and not in need of assistance. But Callahan said that simply isn’t true.

“It’s more expensive to live in Hamilton County, and the reason people come here is because there’s a good school system and a good park system,” he said. “There is a need here, and we do our best to try to help people as long as they are honest and follow our guidelines.”

Township assistance is a unique government service where people can contact the trustee’s office at 10701 N. College Ave. and apply for temporary assistance. It is only meant to be short-term for people who prove they cannot provide for basic needs. In many cases, it is required that applicants have exhausted all other means to find help.

“We just ask that people be honest with us, because we are pretty thorough, and we do find out,” he said. “But if we can help you, we will. Even if we can’t provide money, we can help you find a job by referring you to Work One. We’ll work with you.”

Donna Hansen, caseworker for the township trustee, said the office helps people who are in an emergency or crisis situation typically with evictions and disconnected utilities. In other instances, the office is directing people to existing resources such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

“Township Assistance is more than just financial,” she said. “We help clients with their budgets, employment opportunities in the area, Children’s Bureau for child care, whatever it may be, we try to help. We want the client to be successful.”

Callahan said it’s rewarding to be able to help someone in a time of need. He said he especially has a soft spot for helping children.

“I do enjoy helping people,” he said. “Even if their house isn’t on fire, I can help people now who really need my help.”

In addition to township assistance, the trustee’s office is also involved in parks, fire service and caring for parts of Clay Township that aren’t part of the City of Carmel, such as Home Place. But because of annexation, that land is shrinking. Of its $9 million budget in 2015, more than $2 million was budgeted for recreation, more than a $1 million for fire services, almost $5 million for a bond to construct new fire stations and Central Park and $120,000 for township assistance.

Despite a small budget for township assistance, Callahan said he wants to help everyone who meets the guidelines.

“If I have to go back and get additional funds, I will,” he said. “The state is usually pretty helpful.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard appointed Callahan as fire chief in 1996. When Callahan retired in 2006, he considered running for trustee because of how much he admired past trustees during his time as fire chief. He’s now in his third term.

In September, the City of Carmel honored Callahan by naming Fire Station 45 after him.

“Doug Callhan is one of my heroes,” Brainard said. “He carries himself with class and he always does what’s in the best interest of the public.”

Although he’s an elected official, Callahan said he doesn’t consider himself a politician.

“Why don’t we just do our job?” he said. “The important thing is to take care of the community. Quit clashing, and take care of people.”

Callahan’s work ethic and service to others comes from growing up in a family of 15 on a dairy farm. He’d work on the farm before high school and come home from high school and work some more. He went into firefighting because his older brother, Mike, was a firefighter.

“I was accepted to Purdue, but I chose to go into the fire department,” he said. “And that’s back when the pay was something like $7,200 a year. Nowadays, a fire chief can make that in a month. You didn’t go there for the money. You went there to serve.”

Even though “everything wasn’t always peaches and cream,” Callahan said his parents took care of him, and that’s all you can ask for. That’s why he wants to give back to others, especially children.

“I just want every kid out there to have the same chance and opportunity that I had,” he said.

On mass transit: Very open minds We’ve been taken to task, while also being supported by others, about our stand against government-run mass transit. One person opined that such service is in the same category as roads, and we don’t see the logic there. One hundred percent of the people we know use roads; we suspect mass-transit users in Hamilton County will fall far short of that percentage. The point we’re making in our writings primarily pertains to costs. For example, looking at Marion County’s direct property-tax rates for public transportation, in 2002 the rate was .0371 per $100 of assessed value; in 2011, it almost doubled to .0696. The approach here would be a bit different in that the tax would be a percentage of your income, not an increase in our property taxes, but we’re sure you get our point. The question we ask is this: What will it cost us in 10 years?

Can we trust the projections? We’ve also been accused of having a “closed mind” on this subject. It always fascinates us how advocates of government spending attack personally those who don’t sign on with full support. Will this be the attitude we’ll get when, if a referendum is held and approved, they come to us and ask for more money? As we stated prior, privatize it, and we’ll get on board.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Mired in the minutiae Commentary by Terry Anker What difference does it make? Does anybody care if he asked first? It seems the order of things is routinely determined, well, by the order of things. Who says what and when makes all the difference in a contract.

Who says “I love you” first seems to carry an enormous burden, not because of the import or authenticity of the assertion, but because of the potential risk of laying out one’s position without absolute certainty of the listener’s point-of-view. Yet, the first mover, some think, has an advantage. They get to frame the issue and lay out an agenda to be matched – or refuted.

In the often Byzantine sphere of human social interaction, we can find ourselves mired in the minutiae. We hold back our desires and even our needs all for fear of how we might be perceived by others. But if we have a strong need and don’t share it, are we intentionally manipulating and attempting to control the perceptions of the

ones that we claim to care the most about?

Is it right to hold back, knowing our own feelings, simply to await the optimal time to spring our notion on our would-be target?

Relentless directness may be no better. Do we want to live in a world where folks blurtout every whim and yearning? As a former U.S. President was much maligned for asserting, “It wouldn’t be prudent.”

So how do we balance the admirable quality of forthrightness against the much less seemly trait of being constantly needy?

Perhaps, if we took the time to evaluate our own wishes in comparison with those of the others near us, we’d be best positioned to fairly interact. Don’t say “I love you” first or last unless we mean it. And, if we do, why wouldn’t we say with reckless abandon?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “Well done is better than well said”

– Benjamin Franklin

Well it’s been quite a week here at chez Wilson, and as I finally take a chance to reflect, I think I can make humor a column out of it. Here ya go.

On Sunday I participated in my firstever half Ironman event, fittingly in a town called Effingham. It was effing hot, around 91 degrees; I effing peed myself twice, inspiring a sheriff to come check on me; and I effing ended up walk-running the last effing six miles with an effing pound of ice tucked down my suit. But I finished without stroking out and met a New Year’s resolution. Eff yah!

On Monday, feeling much like I’d been hit by a MAC truck, I proceeded to fall down some steps at Clay Terrace. It was just a slight slip in my sandal, but with incredibly sore legs I couldn’t stabilize myself. So down I went, bruising nothing more than a toe and my ego, as my daughter watched in both horror and amusement. Admittedly, my slow motion crumble was pretty funny, but the public display of clumsiness certainly did not improve my mood.

Then on Tuesday, still recovering from my athletic ordeal, our basement flooded, ironically about an hour after I’d posted the last check to the restoration company for the toilet debacle from last fall. I spent three hours going up and down stairs, emptying the storage room of wet boxes, pictures, Barbie cars and, of course, all the furniture that we’d still not brought back up after our kitchen/main floor remodel. Jeeze Louise! Can’t a girl just lie down and binge-watch “House of Cards?”

And that brings me to today, Thursday, sitting patiently in the office of a GI group while Doo enjoys a colonoscopy. I’m surrounded by geriatrics in a sea of appropriately-colored brown décor, and in a few minutes, I’ll be asked to collect my spouse, high on anesthesia and hosting his own poop-joke comedy special. Good times. At least my body is almost back to normal So there you have it, a typical week in a Wilson summer. Peace out.

Sitting pretty to pass time Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What has happened to the art of sitting?

People nowadays don’t just sit, but they have to be involved in some activity humor like emailing, blogging, tweeting, reading or watching TV. When I was a kid, people in my neighborhood sat on their front porch. Of course, this was New York, so they were probably protecting their valuables or waiting for the police to arrive. But they were sitting, nonetheless. You do see people sitting outside a doctor’s office. But these people are waiting.

Big difference.

We need to recognize the historical significance of this leisurely activity. For it is, in this repose, that the truly lazy people of the world have made their impact. Do you think it was hard-working stiffs who came up with the idea for the backhoe, the chainsaw and the snow blower? Heavens no! It was the sluggish and the indolent solving the world’s problems while completely at rest. Cracker Barrel has the potential to bring back sitting as an art form. They have nifty front porches chock-full

of sturdy rocking chairs. This is sit waiting to happen.

Part of the charm of sitting is publicly displaying that you have the time and the inclination to just park your rear end in a chair. You can’t flaunt this in private. It is fun to sit on your front step and gaze into space with a slight smirk. Soon, there is immediate neighborhood speculation about an unexpected inheritance or a hot lottery ticket stashed in your sock, or spicy rumors about you and the new UPS driver.

Sometimes to relax, I just go and sit in my driveway in an old beach chair and wait for my wife to get home.

But when my neighbor Charlie sees me, he always grabs a stool from his garage and plants himself next to me. I hate being unfriendly, but lately I’ve mustered up the nerve to tell Charlie I’d rather be alone.

Some people just don’t sit well with me.

Residents deserve the right to choose on mass transit Commentary by Mo Merhoff

Indiana representative Earl Landgrebe’s legacy was defined by his Watergate-era retort – “Don’t confuse me opinion with the facts. I have a closed mind.”

So, while we recognize the challenges of opening a dialogue on the transit issue with those who’ve already made a decision (Referendum on Transit is Coming, June 14’s From the Backshop), we’d like to clarify some misinformation included in the editorial.

The referendum is not before Hamilton County as you stated and is not on anybody’s ballot until and unless the Clay and Washington Township Boards vote to do so on June 28. If they do, then only residents of Clay and (Washington) townships will be voting on Nov. 8.

You dismiss IndyGo and Amtrak as “disasters” because they don’t turn a profit. Investment in infrastructureis an investment in the future of our economic strength, and our ability to not only attract the best and brightest to our communities and retain.

The argument that mass transit creates “possible threats to personal safety” is both disappointing to hear in our increasinglydiverse community and unsubstantiated by

facts. This was an argument advanced not so long ago by those against the Monon Trail, who now realize nearness to the trail is a real estate selling point. Communities with mass transit see declines in crime, not increases.

OneZone voted to both support the transit referendum’s being on the ballot and a yes vote on its passage for two reasons: one, it’s a positive and essential part of our future economic development, and two, it’s crucial to deliver employees to the growing number of companies with open job opportunities they can’t fill.

Finally, we’d take issue with your assumption that government’s asking for money is “disgusting” whenever it occurs. Tax dollars support our school system, our library, our arts opportunities, and our parks system. And all those roads too. It’s what’s attracted businesses to our community, and what makes them stay. We agree on one thing: do go to www.indyconnect.org and learn more.

Visit CurrentinCarmel.com to read the full column.

Mo Merhoff is president of OneZone. You may contact her at mo@onezonecommerce.com

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Both sides of mass transit debate should be examined Editor, Your June 14 issue contained an editorial explaining why you support a “no” vote on the Nov. 8 ballot referendum for public mass transit. I don’t know if mass transit is what we need for our community, but it certainly deserves a good examination. Both sides need to address this issue with clarity and to make the case either for or against. I am sorry to say, your column does not benefit the debate.

You asked when did IndyGo last turn a profit. Since when is it the duty of a public service to turn a profit? Can you show me the profit from our public streets or our public schools?

These are services paid for by citizens that benefit all citizens. You don’t have to drive a car to realize how our streets can help you.

You can thank the police officer or the firefighter (both public servants) if you ever need their services at your residence because they used public streets to help you. So did the landscaper, painter or other private contractor you hired to do your work. You don’t have to

have a child in school to know that an educated workforce is an asset we are fortunate to have in our community. How many of us, with or without children, would choose to move to an area with low-performing schools?

You also say that a disadvantage of mass transit includes “… possible threats to our personal safety on the ride and in our community.” Are you alluding to the possibility that people who are not as educated or as affluent as most Carmel residents may find an opportunity to work in our community?

What makes you think these people will hurt us? It is to our economic benefit to expand our workforce. They don’t have to look like us.

The seat on the bus does not discriminate. It welcomes all riders.

You offer no factual support of your “no” vote. This is a debate that should be based on facts and my vote will go to the side who does that best.

I went to a sneak-peek dress rehearsal of Civic Theatre’s “Trial of Goldilocks,” which is directed and choreographed by Brent E. Marty.

Little did I know I would soon be surrounded backstage with some of the talented cast members.

These young actors worked hard to bring a show that will put a smile on your face and bring back your favorite childhood memories. I loved the music, set and costumes, which helped make the show come alive. Now is the time to grab your family and friends and support our local young artists in the making.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre features three pieces in ‘Metamorphosis’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre is known for its moving performances, and “Metamorphosis,” set for 7 p.m. July 1 and 2 at The Tarkington, 3 Center Green, is no performance exception.

“It’s called ‘Metamorphosis’ because over the past two years, I’ve gone through a lot of challenges. I felt that my life had to go through a metamorphosis, and I had to have a change,” said Gregory Hancock, choreographer. “The two years affected my company, so it’s a metamorphosis for the company and dancers as well. It’s a rebirth of everybody.”

Three separate pieces will be performed during “Metamorphosis,” including “Until There Is No More,” “The River’s Edge” and “The Violin Under the Bed.” “Until There Is No More” and “The River’s Edge” have both been performed before. After those are shown, there will be an intermission, and then “The Violin Under the Bed” will be performed for the first time.

“Until There Is No More” is the last performance Hancock’s mother saw before her death, which led to part of his metamorphosis. Hancock said “The River’s Edge” is a joyous piece his mother enjoyed. “(‘The Violin Under the Bed’) is the whole second act, it’s a big piece,” he said. “It’s been very personal to work on, and I’ve made it very personal to my dancers. All the dancers that are

dancing knew my mother personally. I wanted to share a lot of the stories with them so they understood my mother more so she lives on.”

“The Violin Under the Bed” will show Hancock’s mother’s love of sport, travel, nature and art.

“This is a piece I made for my mom, which was daunting and challenging to do,” Hancock said. “It’s lots of little vignettes and memories and moments from her life because that’s what our life is all about is all these moments and how they connect together.”

The entire performance is contemporary ballet.

“These are personal stories, but this is a part of my metamorphosis,” Hancock said. “I’m not the same person I was, so my art shouldn’t remain the same either. Sometimes when we are younger, we worry so much about what people will think, and you get to a point in your career where it’s just about what you need to say and how to say it. That’s what makes art beautiful and unique.”

Tickets are $38.50 for adults and $33.50 for students and seniors.

CarmelFest parking typically is not easy, and this year might be even more difficult.

“It might be a little more challenging with construction in the area,” CarmelFest Chairman Gary Sexton said. “(Volunteer) James Bednarksi has done a great job putting our action plan together with maps and ordering all new signage and color-coded lots. There will be better guidance along with the roadways for handicapped parking and event sponsors.”

Bednarski, a Carmel resident, said July 3 being a Sunday should help.

“It’s not a lot different, because it’s a Sunday and a Monday, a lot of the local business owners won’t be open,” Bednarski said. “So I think there’s a little more flexibility. The only public parking beyond the street is at The Center for the Performing Arts’ garage. There is handicapped parking off of Range Line Road.”

A free shuttle service from the center’s garage will run to the entrance of the festival on West Gradle Drive.

Bednarski said the old Party Time Rental lot was a place where people used to park. “That’s all now dirt because it is being developed,” he said.

Bednarski said his biggest challenge is finding parking spaces for food vendors, VIPs and handicapped spots.

“All those areas are more restrictive than they have been in the past,” he said.

Bednarski said the business community has been accommodating in helping him find additional spaces. He said he is excited the city is building a new public garage in the area that should be ready for 2017.

Safety measures in place

By Lauren Boughner • news@currentincarmel.com The 2015 CarmelFest saw a record number of attendees, with approximately 60,000 guests enjoying the festivities, 10,000 to 20,000 more attendees than most years. Organizers expect this year’s attendance could be just as big – or bigger – and are putting safety measures in place to protect the crowds.

The Carmel police and fire departments have been working with the CarmelFest committee for years now, and a detailed safety plan is always discussed two weeks prior to the festival.

“CarmelFest is one of the few events—probably the only event—all year where all divisions of the police department are involved,” CPD Lt. Jeff Horner said.

A police tent will be in the southwest corner of the MarketPlace by the fire station. This is the first place for guests to look for a lost child, which police said is one of the two most common safety issues to occur. The other is heatrelated problems, such as heat stroke.

Last year, the CarmelFest committee introduced a new rule: no pets. This will be more strongly enforced this year to keep attendees as safe as possible.

“We want everyone to feel safe. So why not take that extra step?” CarmelFest Public Rela-

tions Director Cindy Roberts-Greiner said.

Public safety officers recommend attendees have patience, especially with large crowds.

Families should have a plan ready in case they become separated. Attendees can always ask a public safety officer for help. The fire department also welcomes families inside the station during the festival.

“The crowd, as big as it may get, as hot as it may be, is very courteous,” Roberts-Greiner said.

“They keep it a family-friendly atmosphere.”

Parade highlights swim team, bicentennial

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

The more than 100-unit CarmelFest 4th of July Parade will bring with it beloved traditions, as well as a few changes.

Peggy Powell, CarmelFest Parade director, said there will be a wide variety of floats included in the parade this year, such as the Indianapolis Chinese Community’s Lion Dance and the Carmel Rotary Club’s Powell 10-person bicycle.

Other unit entries include marching bands, motorcycle drill teams, clowns, color guards, Colts cheerleaders, designed floats, veterans and more.

The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. July 4 at AAA Way and Carmel Drive and will head west on Carmel Drive and north on Range Line Road. The parade will end at Carmel High School on Main Street at 12:30 p.m. This year’s theme is “Celebrating Indiana’s Bicentennial.”

“Our grand marshals this year are the (Carmel High School) girls swimming and diving championship team, because they just completed their 30th (consecutive) state championship which broke a national record,” Powell said.

In addition to the 2016 state winners, CarmelFest is attempting to locate as many past swimmers from 1986 to 2016 to march in the parade.

A military grand finale will take place at 12:15 p.m. Roads will reopen as the parade passes, Powell said she believes that all roads will be closed by 10 a.m.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The CarmelFest parade committee announced in early June that it had implemented a no-candy policy for parade floats and entries.

The decision to change the tradition was not made lightly, and officials examined other parades, CarmelFest chairman Gary Sexton said. The idea had been discussed for several years. This year the 16-person parade committee decided it could no longer table the decision, and those in attendance voted unanimously to no longer hand out candy at the event.

A few years ago, officials banned the

practice of throwing candy from parade vehicles. In recent years, floats and other parade participants have had roller blade riders or walkers pass out candy, but often the candy would drop in the street and children would run for it.

Sexton said there are quick-moving vehicles, such as motorcycles, in the parade.

“We want to make sure we are doing the absolute right thing for public safety,” Sexton said. “Float drivers have a challenging time enough watching the parade ahead of them. With public safety and insurance requirements with a festival of our size, we just have to make the change.”

CarmelFest’s KidZone will feature multiple beloved attractions from previous years as well as a few new activities.

KidZone Director Tom Blessing said the Chinese dragon maze, which debuted last year, should be a highlight again this year.

“It is about a half a football field long, and kids can go in, and it’s a big, inflatable maze,” Blessing said. “You enter through the mouth. It was a huge attraction last year.”

Other returning activities include a rock wall and a fast-pitch softball game. An attraction involving fairytale characters is new this year.

“We’ve got stuff for all the way up through high-school age and certainly as young as toddler age,” Blessing said.

Some toddler-age activities include an inflatable bounce house with an obstacle course and a paddleboat ride in an inflatable swimming pool.

Older children will have several options, too, Blessing said.

“We have a Velcro wall where the older kids can put on a suit and go up and jump and stick themselves to (it),” Blessing said.

Tickets for KidZone attractions may be purchased at a booth for 50 cents each. Activity

Chance meeting leads to show

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Tommy Baldwin, a 20-year-old guitar player, said it’s funny how just saying hello to someone can change your life.

A brief introduction to a rock ’n’ roll veteran has now led to recording a full-length album and being scheduled to perform as part of CarmelFest this year.

“A lot of amazing things have been happening,” he said. “It’s an absolute blessing and I would never have thought I’d be in this area.”

Baldwin grew up on the north side of Indianapolis and attended North Central High School. He has grandparents and aunts and uncles who are longtime Carmel residents. He began playing the guitar at 8 years old and has played and rehearsed at Kingston’s Music Showcase in Carmel.

Approximately two years ago, Baldwin traveled to California for a tradeshow centered on guitars, amplifiers and other equipment. As is usual for a trade show, some well-known musicians were in attendance, some of whom were promoting specific guitars.

While his friends waited in line to speak to well-known musical acts, Baldwin saw someone that caught his interest. It was Doug Pinnick, a bass guitar player and singer for a

popular ’90s band, King’s X. Baldwin just wanted to say hello to a player he respected but quickly hit it off with Pinnick. They began to play together. Eventually, Baldwin was invited to live with Pinnick at his Los Angeles home and record with him in his in-home recording studio.

Baldwin has been invited to perform at CarmelFest on July 3 in Guitar-mel Fest. He talked to Pinnick, who agreed to fly here to play bass and provide backup vocals for Baldwin’s performance.

“It all happened because I decided to say hello to him,” he said. “It’s an absolute blessing and it’s all God.”

Guitar-mel Fest expands into Guitars and Stars

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Guitar-mel Fest has been a fixture at CarmelFest for the past four years.

Now it will become the featured evening session of CarmelFest presents Guitars and Stars July 3 on the North Zone Entertainment Stage. Brian Carriger, who has been CarmelFest entertainment director for 12 years, said the biggest difference is adding the bands.

The Cosmic Situation will open the day-long session at 2 p.m., followed by The Warrior Kings at 3:30 p.m. and Tommy Baldwin at 5:30 p.m.

The evening session from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. will belong to the Guitars & Stars Legends.

Carriger, owner of the PBJ Pro DJs, is a 2003 Carmel High School graduate.

“We have a good variety of talent,” Carriger said. “They’re all specializing on their talents on the guitar. We picked bands that have a guitar-centered feel to their group.”

Carriger said the evening follows the traditional Guitar-mel Fest format.

“Benito DiBartoli and I collaborated to create the show and he helped gather the original headliners of the Guitar-mel Fest show,” Carriger said.

DiBartoli, Gordon Bonham, Doug Henthorn and Paul Holdman, all original members, continue to rotate as the main guitar players in different sets.

“Tad Robinson is a very special guest,” Carriger said. “He’s a vocalist and harmonica player.”

Greg Baker serves as the bass player and

Charlie Bushor as the drummer for all the different guitar headliners.

“At the end, they all get up and jam together,” Carriger said.

Carriger, 31, got involved in CarmelFest at 19.

“My dad, Richard Carriger, is a Rotarian, and he was asked to volunteer at that time for CarmelFest in doing entertainment,” said Carriger, who is not a Rotary member himself. “He said, ‘Sure, I’ll contribute,’ and he gave them my number. That’s how I got started.”

Wind symphony to play July 3

By Eric Kuznar • news@youarecurrent.com

The Fishers Wind Symphony, directed by Dr. Keith Kunda, will play its first Fourth of July concert with an American-themed music performance at 4 p.m. July 3 at Legacy Bible Church, 2140 Greenfield Ave., in Noblesville.

“Fourth of July celebrates everything that America is, not just our freedom … but everything that America has become,” Kunda said. “When you look at the world of music, there is Kunda such a wide variety of distinctly American music.”

Kunda, who received his doctoral degree in conducting from Ball State University, is looking to bring a variety of American music to those in attendance.

“They should expect to experience American culture, American pride and American freedom.

We are one nation with one American culture,” Kunda said. “But within that there is a lot of variety.”

All of the concert’s selections have been arranged by American composers.

“So this is pretty meaningful … being the cofounder of an organization like this, it is really nice to see we are out there producing this type of music for the first time in four years.”

Commentary by Amy Pauszek Kelly Hartman, Co-Founder of Outside the Box, invited Where’s Amy to attend the Inside the Bottle fundraiser at the Lucas Estate in Carmel on June 16.

Guests enjoyed strolling the estate grounds while sampling a wide selection of wine and beer tastings that complemented an array of food from some of Indy’s best independent restaurants.

Along with the tastings, guests enjoyed an evening of dancing, a live and silent auction and an incredible program explaining how the Outside the Box nonprofit organization helps families in Indiana.

All of the proceeds from the event went directly to Outside the Box, which has a mission to empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As I was chatting with so many remarkable family and friends who have benefited from and supported Outside the Box, it hit me just how important this organization is and how it is making a difference to so many individuals. Thinking “outside the box” goes beyond the limitations of a name; it is the culture that empowers people. Check out this amazing organization and how it is paving the way for individuals to be strong and independent.

Jeff and JoAnne Snyder (Carmel) had fun bidding on silent auction items and catching up with friends Rita and Laren Zeeck (Fishers) who were corporate sponsors of the event at the Outside the Box fundraiser.

The June 16 announcement that David Bowden will be departing after 17 years as Carmel Symphony Orchestra armusic tistic director and conductor has created quite a stir.

Jen Weber, who plays cello for the CSO, said a group of 25 musicians met to discuss why they were not consulted before an email came out stating Bowden would conclude his tenure in a Nov. 12 concert at the Palladium.

Weber said approximately a dozen musicians, including herself, have said it will be their last concert as well if the situation doesn’t get fixed. Weber, a volunteer performer for 19 years with the CSO, said when the musicians received the email they weren’t sure how to take it.

“Initially people weren’t sure if this was Dr. Bowden’s choice or the board’s choice,” Weber said. “When they found out this really wasn’t Dr. Bowden’s choosing, some were really shocked and upset.”

Weber said they learned the board only talked to six musicians from the 85-member orchestra prior to the decision and she didn’t believe that was a representative sample of all the musicians.

CSO Board Chair Brad Grabow stated that

David Bowden, who served for 17 years as Carmel Symphony Orchestra artistic director and conductor. (File photo)

the board “made a very difficult and wellthought-out decision with the long-term advancement of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra as our number one priority. Nothing has changed in regard to our commitment to the orchestra.”

Ed Staubach, who serves as principal clarinet player and a stage manager, said Bowden is saddened, but is not encouraging any musicians to intervene on his behalf.

When reached, Bowden said, “I loved working with the musicians of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra. I believe I’ve given them my very best for 17 years and I will really miss them.”

Bowden, 62, said that’s the only statement he wants to make at this time. For more, visit currentnightandday.com

MemoryMeals software launched

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In 2014 Ashley Bryan and Jamy Brase of Carmel established Life in the Moment, a comprehensive technology tool profile focused on providing nutritional, family, communication, legal and financial advice to families living with dementia.

“It includes content about the latest research (on dementia), and we are developing a mentoring program,” Bryan said. “Caregivers have been through a lot dealing with dementia and have got a lot of tips on how to handle certain behaviors. We are trying to connect people to start learning from each other.”

MemoryMeals, the nutritional component of Life in the Moment, was launched at the end of last month. The software platform is available for senior-living facilities.

Bryan and Brase, who created recipes including ingredients proven to reduce dementia and Alzheimer’s by 53 percent, created MemoryMeals. The recipes follow the MIND diet – Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, which has been proven by researchers to reduce risks of dementia and memory loss that comes with aging.

“It’s a very significant prevention tool,” Bryan said. “It can also slow cognitive decline associated with typical aging by up to six-anda-half years.”

The MIND diet includes foods that also have been proven to aid in heart health, arthritis, depression and diabetes.

“We’ve developed recipes on nutritional

development of brain health, and there’s an algorithm that scores each weekly plan,” Brase said, explaining that if a resident doesn’t like salmon, the algorithm will substitute an additional food that provides similar nutritional value.

“The great thing about what we’re doing is we don’t only give them all the nutritious facts … but we also in these meal plans enable (senior living facilities) to print out why its brain healthy so they can let residents know why it’s healthy,” Bryan said.

At the end of this year, Bryan and Brase will release a MemoryMeal consumer component available for families to purchase to use as a preventative tool.

A Cut Above Catering offers cooking lessons

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Amy von Eiff has built a reputation as one of the Indianapolis area’s most well-known caterers.

Business However, von Eiff said many people might not know that her business, A Cut Above Catering, 12955 Old Meridian St., Suite 104, Carmel, offers instructional cooking classes, public and private, as well.

“We want Carmel to know this is a secret gem for instructional cooking,” said von Eiff, who lives in Fishers.

The next scheduled public class is a sushi preparation class set for 6:30 p.m. July 22.

Von Eiff said it’s the most requested class.

Twice a month, she appears on IndyStyle on WISH-TV and also appears regularly on Fox 59.

“That’s been great advertising for the cooking demonstrations and getting the A Cut Above Catering name out there,” she said.

Her husband, David von Eiff, a Carmel High School graduate, is a co-owner of the catering business.

The business will cater Lobster Palooza, hosted by Larry Bird and his wife Dinah, at Basile Opera Center July 16 for the second

consecutive year.

It also catered the Andretti party the day before the Indianapolis 500.

“We get to feed all the stars that come through the Palladium. That’s a really big, fun thing,” von Eiff said. “Sophia Loren came in, and that was an honor for me as an ItalianAmerican to make desserts for her. Because (the stars) have specific dietary needs and requests, the Palladium uses us because we’re very detailed oriented. Carmel is good to me because they love using local.”

A Cut Above Catering started in 2008 in a small 300-square-foot kitchen in Carmel before moving to its present spot two years ago.

“We have tripled our business every year,” von Eiff said. “We do a lot of charitable work as well along with the events we do. We have also catered more than 40 weddings this year.”

A possible expansion is in the works, using the space next to the business.

“We’re looking at an expansion, which would double our size,” said the 38-year-old von Eiff, who has two children, Bennett, 4, and Nina, 11.

The business also has a head chef, sous chef and full staff of bartenders and servers.

GadellNet Hires 12 in 12

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com GadellNet, a St. Louis-based, outsourced, information-technology comgrowth pany, moved its Indianapolis branch to Carmel last year.

Now, less than one year later, the Carmel location is growing rapidly.

Coming off of a year with 70 percent revenue growth in 2015, the Central Indiana location has added 12 employees in 12 months and is still hiring more. In total, there will be around 22 employees by the year’s end.

The Central Indiana office opened nearly three years ago and originally began with employees working largely at home. The Carmel location is one of three national locations for GadellNet, which has plans to open additional branches in the Midwest.

Other locations include St. Louis and Madison/Milwaukee. The company specializes in outsourced IT consulting solutions including help desk support, application development, IT consulting and infrastructure engineering.

“We thought when we expanded into our new space that we would have enough room,” stated Nick Smarrelli, GadellNet CEO. “And while it’s a wonderful space, and we love where we’re at in Carmel, we’re already finding that we might need to expand more since we’re hiring so many new employees.”

Smarrelli said his company is still hiring for new positions and is working hard to recruit top talent.

Memories may fade. However, Jim and Linda Britt want to make sure their customers’ ability to relive them doesn’t.

Carmel-based Keepsake Meprofile dia Group started in the Britts’ Noblesville house in 1997. They first started converting home movies and photographs onto VHS cassettes.

“We were one of the people in town to have DVD-offering capabilities,” Jim said. “I bought the first DVD burner, which was $5,000. That was kind of a dumb thing to do but it kind of put us ahead of the game. We’ve been doing the DVD side of it since 2000 or 2001.”

Jim said it was then about a 50-50-mix between customers wanting DVD and VHS. “Now it’s about half who want DVD or Bluray and the other half want to go to a straight direct digital file (USB drive, external hard drives),” Jim said. “Some want both. Last week we had a woman who wanted VHS because she said her 85-year-old aunt doesn’t have a DVD player.”

Keepsake Media moved to 160 W. Carmel Dr., Suite 271, in 2010. While the Britts still live in Noblesville, Jim said they moved the office to Carmel because they found a majority of their

customers came from Carmel or the north side of Indianapolis.

“Our most recent addition is to be able to scan film at high definition with a frame-byframe scanner,” Jim said.

Linda said they have the ability to scan a variety of items.

“People bring old letters to us that their parents have written,” Linda said. “We’ve scanned old photographs and old media.”

Recently, a woman brought in an 8mm film from when the Beatles performed at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 1964.

“She was standing about 10 feet away,” Jim said. “It was amazing.”

Chamber group targets under-40s

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers and Carmel Chamber of Commerce merged forces with the creation of OneZone, but business more than just chamber members joined ranks.

The Fishers Chamber of Commerce’s young professional group, In Power, and the Carmel young Somers professional group, Arrows, merged to create the OneZone Young Professionals, a group for adults under 40 to network with others.

“For people that live or work in the Carmel or Fishers area and are (under 40), this gives them the opportunity to network,” said Elliott Somers, co-chair of the OneZone group. “We have quarterly Lunch and Learns at Eddie Merlot’s for a networking lunch and a speaker that is a millennial.”

The group also meets once each month amongst themselves, typically at a local restaurant or bar in Fishers or Carmel.

“We ask that people register on the OneZone site even though it is a free event,”

Somers said. Appetizers are provided and beverages are available for purchase.

“Mainly for the after-hours events, we get about 40 to 50 percent of people who are first time event goers,” he said. “It’s fun to meet these new young professionals and introduce them to other people that can help grow their business. Just making connections is my favorite part of being involved with Merhoff the group.”

OneZone Director Mo Merhoff said a young professionals group is pertinent for chambers.

“The reason young professionals are so crucial to us is because they are the next leaders of our community,” she said. “There can be a tendency of nonprofit boards and organizations to focus on the people there and not those that will follow. If we don’t pay attention to that, when we sorely need that next generation, they won’t be there. That’s why OneZone is investing in our young professionals.”

The next young professionals Lunch and Learn event is Aug. 17. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness will be the speaker. For more, visit onezonecommerce.com.

Design with emotion for incredible living Commentary by Randy Sorrell Designing with emotion is gaining traction in the Midwest, and for good reason. Emotion, often dismissed, is outdoor living the secret element for creating incredible living spaces. Thanks to HGTV, Chip and Joanna Gaines and other home-improvement shows celebrities, the importance of design is finally gaining the respect that major markets have appreciated for decades.

The Cox residence, nestled in a familiar Carmel neighborhood, is a prime example of relevant design and how emotion can steer the process. Once we are acquainted with living habits, passions, family patterns and other client intimacies, it becomes a thriving and easy design process to imagine how patios, grill stations, crunchy paths and shade/privacy pushing pergolas will be enjoyed.

Soft slope A gentle slope towards the lake edge softens the neighboring homes and offers an opportunity to create something special. The fire-feature patio elegantly terraces down with surround steps and hugging sitting-walls that forwards the sense of an infinity pool disappearing into the lake.

WE’RE COOKING!

Create a space that you will love to live in. (Submitted photo)

Exposed aggregate married with travertine To create cohesion and echo materials, we carried the front exposed, aggregate entry walk element to the back patio. The texture contrast is enormous between the pebbleinduced concrete and the cool, smooth travertine we employed as the elegant patio edge.

They play nicely off each other.

The healthy/athletic couple dig the huge four-foot by four-foot exposed aggregate walking slabs with grass joints that transition between multiple living spaces. Mr. Cox brilliantly fueled the fully shaded, under-deck

living space and the grill/sitting area that certainly hosts thrilled guests and relaxing couples. Travertine is completely underfoot and elevates the sophisticated vibe.

Never underestimate the power of connecting of fine details and the emotion of knowing your customer. Design with emotion.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: CHILD SUPPORT In Indiana, in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. The underlying philosophy is that a child should be provided the same lifestyle which would have been afforded to him/her had the family remained intact or had the parties married.

The Guidelines are presumed to apply in each case unless a reason can be shown as to why a deviation from the calculated obligation is warranted. In determining the support obligation, child support calculators are used to create a Child Support Worksheet, which must be filed with the Court in each proceeding. In addition to the parties’ gross incomes, other factors included in determining the support obligation are: actual work-related childcare expenses, healthcare insurance premiums for the children, parenting time overnights exercised, support or maintenance received or paid, and subsequent children in either parties’ home. When a Court deems appropriate, numerous benefits received by one party, including parties’ bonus incomes, commissions, or even regular gifts from family or friends, may be included as income for support purposes.

There are a number of reasons to deviate from the presumed obligation by the Guidelines. These include, but are not limited to, voluntary unemployment or under-employment by one of the parties. If a Court finds either of these to be a factor, it may impute potential income to that party for purposes of determining support.

There are cases wherein clients propose to their attorney an agreement with the opposing party to forgo the receipt of support. This is not appropriate in most cases. Such an arrangement may be appropriate if the parties equally share physical custody of the child(ren) and agree to share expenses due to the fact that their incomes are relatively similar, however, parties must understand that it is not their right to waive support for the child(ren), rather it is the child’s right to receive the same. Issues with respect to child support are very fact sensitive and different issues will arise in each case. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Guidelines is necessary to determine the appropriate obligation in any given case when issues arise.

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

Writing your life story

CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Commentary by Lorene Burkhart Writing your life story is a wonderful way to review your life and to think about aging the consequences. The beauty of writing, unlike life, is that you can edit!

If you decide to try it, start with an outline of your life in segments: early years, school, career, military, family, later years. It’s fun to do some research about your heritage and the area of the nation where you were born.

I was fortunate, when I began writing my memoir, that a great uncle had traced my father’s family (McCormick) back to its origins in Scotland, and a cousin had traced my mother’s family (Bobe) back to Germany. It never occurred to me until recently that I had no history about my paternal grandmother. I convinced a relative to do that research for me. It was a big job because she was one of 13 children.

Even if you never plan to write a book or publish your story, the process is enlightening.

It’s easy to print it from your computer if you want to share it with your family.

When I wrote my first book, “An Accidental Pioneer, a Farm Girl’s Drive to the Finish” I never imagined that I would write six more books before I put down the pen and pulled the plug.

I learned that having a wonderful editor is the key to producing a readable manuscript.

It’s amazing that when you uncover your roots, it helps you come to terms with the result. Give it a try and don’t be too hard on yourself about your writing skills. Just make it fun.

Even if you never plan to write a book or publish your story, the process is enlightening. It’s easy to print it from your computer if you want to share it with your family.

Dispatches Rapid cook pasta –If you like to do as much food prep ahead of time so you have more time to visit with guests, here’s a tip for fast cook pasta. Soak uncooked pasta for an hour or so before dinner. Then, right before eating, drop the soaked pasta into boiling water for 60 seconds, and it’s ready to go.

Softer brown sugar – Stick a few marshmallows in your container of brown sugar to help it stay soft.

Getting rid of sand – Sand gets everywhere when you go to the beach, and it’s just so uncooperative.

Baby powder is perfect for removing sand from your hands, feet, legs and more. Sprinkle on a generous amount, and the powder will remove moisture from your skin, allowing you to easily shake or wipe off the sand. Cornstarch also works well.

Poached eggs shortcut – For quick and easy poached eggs, try this approach. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, and then add a tablespoon of water to each cup. Crack one egg into each compartment, and then bake for 13 minutes at 350 degrees.

Removing yellow stains – Do your white shirts have yellow stains under the arms?

Here’s a stain removing trick to try. Mix together 1 teaspoon of blue Dawn dish soap, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide. Apply the mixture to the stain with a toothbrush, and work it in a bit. Let sit for a few hours, and then wash as usual.

Fresher beer – To keep beer fresh, the best thing to do is to choose beer that comes in a dark container, like the amber-colored glass of Sam Adams. If your favorite beer comes in a clear, glass bottle, use a coozie to keep your beer fresh and cold.

No freezer burned ice cream – In this season of ice cream, there is nothing more annoying than opening up a carton of your favorite flavor – only to find it covered in crystallized freezer burn. To prevent ice crystals from forming, put a piece of plastic wrap over the container before putting the lid back on. Press the plastic down so that it lays on the surface of the ice cream. Then put the lid back on.

This will keep that freezer burn from forming.

Be the best wedding guest Commentary by Beverly Randolph

Western façade of the U. S. Supreme Court Building. (Photo by Don Knebel)

America’s temple of justice Commentary by Don Knebel During its first 145 years, the United States Supreme Court was homeless. Its current home pays homage to the many sourctravel es of American legal traditions.

When the Supreme Court first convened in 1790, it had no established place to meet, so the justices gathered in the Merchant’s Exchange Building in New York City, then the federal capital. When the capital moved to Philadelphia, the court met in Independence Hall and then city hall. Since the plan for the new capital in Washington, D.C., made no provision for a home for the Supreme Court, it met in various locations in the Capitol Building. In 1929, former President William Howard Taft, then chief justice, convinced Congress to appropriate nearly $10 million to build a permanent home for the court. The building, just east of the capitol, was completed in 1935.

The colonnaded building, designed by architect Cass Gilbert, was inspired by the Parthenon, a temple to the goddess Athena in Athens, the birthplace of democracy. In place of the

Parthenon’s mythological scenes, the reliefs of the Supreme Court Building celebrate influential lawgivers. The east pediment, considered the rear of the building, pictures Moses, Confucius and Solon above the motto, “Justice, the Guardian of Liberty.” The theme that American legal and judicial ideals draw on many sources is continued in friezes along the inside walls of the court chamber. The frieze on the south wall features lawgivers from antiquity, including Menes, Hammurabi, Draco and Augustus. The north frieze includes the more recent Justinian, Charlemagne, John of England, Louis IX of France and Napoleon. The north frieze also includes a rare relief of Muhammad, carrying both a Quran and a sword, honoring his contributions to Islamic law. A visit to the Supreme Court Building provides visual reminders that our legal understandings have many ancestors.

Weddings are in the air, especially in June!

Are you attending a wedetiquette ding this summer? There are so many weddingrelated questions, below are up-to-date tips to be a great wedding guest.

RSVPs • Always RSVP! As quickly you receive it, respond in the manner in which you receive it. This is one of the important planning tools the couple has. They need your cooperation.

• What do you do with the “M” on the response card? Follow it with Mr. and/or Ms., then your name(s).

• The invitation will state who is invited.

If children are not listed, they are not invited.

Gifts • Ideally, send a gift ahead of time. Waiting close to the wedding date limits what you can buy on their registry, and cash in an envelope can get lost at the ceremony, etc.

• How much do I spend on gift? What you can afford.
