Earlier in the year, it was reported by city officials that Carmel was in good shape when it came to money city for road repaving throughout the city.

But now Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard is considering spending more.

The 2015 budget was approved at $4 million for roads, Brainard which was a jump compared to previous years. In 2014, the City Council decided to move $700,000 from the city’s Rainy Day reserve account to bring that year’s budget up to $3.3 million.

Brainard said after the election that he might suggest moving $1.5 million from the Rainy Day fund to bring the city’s total to $5.5 million for 2015.

“I’d like to bring it up to $5 million over the next couple of years and catch up,” Brainard said. “We had to deal with a recession and the annexation of Southwest Clay and I don’t want

to get too far behind. To pave a mile of road is $100,000 but you don’t want to risk letting the streets get bad. If you have to rebuild the entire road from the base then it actually costs $6 million or more for a mile.”

“It’s meant for emergencies, not operations,” said city councilor Luci Snyder. “I would oppose taking money out of the Rainy Day fund for road repaving unless I was given a guarantee in writing that the Snyder money would be returned.”

Right now the fund is at $8.3 million and she’s worried if the amount gets any lower, then it won’t represent 10 percent of the city’s overall $78 million operating budget. Snyder said this is a problem because the city’s bond rating is partially based on how much money there is in savings. Brainard said there’s plenty of money in the Rainy Day fund and that bond rating companies look at a variety of factors.

In 2006 to 2010, Brainard budgeted for about $2 to $3 million a year for road repairs, but that number dropped to essentially zero in 2011 and

less than $100,000 in 2012.

City Council President Rick Sharp previously accused the mayor of using road repaving money for other projects. While it’s not illegal and the mayor has the discretion to move money around, Sharp said he would be disappointed to see the city’s savings account to be used for operational expenses.

The mayor disagreed with that characterization saying he was told to cut money from the roads budget with the expectation that it would always be replaced.

“The money has to be spent on streets,” Brainard said. “It’s in a line item that can only be used for repaving.”

by the numbers • Total saved in the Rainy Day Fund: $8.3 million • Total roads budget for 2014: $3.3 million • Approved roads budget for 2015: $4 million • If Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s proposal is approved this year, the 2015 budget for roads will be $5.5 million.

By Allison Underhill and Maddie Stevens news@currentincarmel.com When Jamey Clark was in second grade, her grandmother bought her a gift at a local elementary school silent achievement auction. This gift was a certificate to train at the High Performance Martial Arts School in Carmel. Now, two years later, Jamey is one of the top martial arts athletes in the United States.

Clark, 7, will compete at the 2015 U.S. National Taekwondo Championships in Austin, Texas on July 4 – 11. However, she is not the only student at High Performance Martial Arts to be competing.

Anthony Golden, 18, and Sarah Kolpe, 11, will also travel to Austin to compete in the National Taekwondo Championships.

These High Performance Martial Arts students qualified for the National Taekwondo Championships by placing first, second or third at their respective state tournaments.

Next month, Golden will participate in sparring events. Clark has qualified for sparring, board breaking and Poomsae events and Kolpe will also compete in Poomsae events.

While Clark and Kolpe will compete at the National Championships for their first times, Golden is a veteran. He qualified for last year’s National Championships, but unfortunately he did not make it past the first round.

Anthony Golden (left), Jamey Clark (middle), and Sarah Kolpe (right), of Carmel, taking a break from practice at High Performance Martial Arts.

He has a different plan for this year.

“I’m really excited to go,” Golden said. “I want to place so I can qualify for the National Team.”

The process of qualifying for the U.S. National Taekwondo Team is lengthy; competitors first have to place within the top three of their event at the National Taekwondo Championships. Those who qualify are then given the opportunity to try out for the National Team. If selected for the National Team, competitors are able to compete in Taekwondo competitions around the world.

High Performance Martial Arts coaches Candice White and Andrew White, said they hope, win or lose, their students improve.

Earlier this year, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department purchased two new body scanners for use at public safety the Hamilton County Jail and Hamilton Community Correctional Facility. The scanners will be used to detect anything an inmate might try to sneak into the jail.

The machines are similar to what TSA agents use at airports but better said to Jail Commander Captain Jason Sloderbeck.

“This machine is actually an X-ray,” he said.

“It gives us the ability to see in a body.”

The machines can see fillings in the teeth, surgical metal implants, weapons and even drugs hidden within the human body.

One reason for the change is safety for jail staff and inmates. Weapons or items that can be made into weapons can be easily detected.

Before, anyone brought into the jail would be strip searched, which Solderbeck said doesn’t always lead to the detection of items

hidden within the body. Even something as small as a cigarette being brought into the jail can pose a large problem, as they are considered currency inside the walls of the prison.

“We should be able to catch all contraband,” he said. “We scan everybody that is coming in or that has already been in the jail that has contact with the outside world.”

Around 90 percent of all inmates are affected by a drug or alcohol addiction. Many of them go to great lengths to hide illegal items within the body by swallowing bags of drugs or inserting needles within their body.

“Community Corrections desperately needed it because they have a huge amount of prisoners coming and going all day long,” Sloderbeck said. “So it was easy for them to smuggle things in and out. Of course, we’re getting those prisoners back after they fail drug screens.”

Sloderbeck said with the capabilities of the new scanners, any attempt to smuggle contraband would be detected.

Carmel couple sets sight on seeing the world by boat Pamela and Kurt Jaenicke’s boat, named ‘Big Frisky.’

(Submitted photos)

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Pamela and Kurt Jaenicke have embarked on the adventure of their lifetime.

The Jaenickes are taking their 46cover story foot sailboat, Big Frisky, on a journey around the world. It’s a journey that they have talked about and planned for several years. The couple sold their home in Carmel and left from Michigan City, Ind., earlier this month.

“We both have a passion for adventure,” Pamela said.

In 2004, the couple followed Tour de France on a motorcycle. They planned for that trip for four years.

“We had to get our kids graduated and then we wanted to have one more big adventure and this is it,” Kurt said.

Both Kurt and Pamela, who have been married for 1 1/2 years but have been together for 15 years, both turned 52 in April.

“We’re not fully retired,” Kurt said. “We’ll come back and do something.”

Pamela isn’t worried.

“I imagine I’ll be able to find library work some place with the experiences that I’ve had,” said Pamela, who retired from her job as a librarian at Lincoln College of Technology in Indianapolis.

Kurt retired from his job in sales for Pearson textbooks.

The Jaenickes, who have children from previous marriages, have five children between the ages of 22 and 24.

Pamela has three sons and Kurt has twins, a son and a daughter.

The trip could take five to six years, but the Jaenickes have only committed to do at least one year.

“For one year we’re committed to staying on board no matter how we feel about it,” Kurt said. “At the end of the one year, we’ll take an assessment. We have a personal rule that if one person is uncomfortable with it, we don’t do it.”

Pamela added, “We just want to see if we’re still enjoying it.”

The other thing that could change that is if they end up having grandchildren sooner than they expect.

Pamela and Kurt said they both lived frugal lifestyles in

order for them to retire early.

‘We lived well within our means and socked our money away as much as possible,” Pamela said.

They also worked as soccer referees for several years for youth, high school and college games.

Seed planted

Pamela had come across a book “The Cruising Life” on one surfing vacation about 10 years ago.

About six years ago, Pamela gave Kurt that book for Christmas. Kurt was sold and bought the second book by the same author.

“The idea is sailing is a very inexpensive way to get around the world,” Kurt said.

The first reason Kurt said is you are powered by the wind and the second is they will not be in a marina most of the time. They can just drop anchor off the coast for free.

Pamela and Kurt, who are joined by their three small dogs

on the trip, have been in Lake Michigan and plan to be in Lake Erie in July. From there they plan to go through Canada and then into the Atlantic Ocean.

“When you are sailing around the world, you have to move in and out of hurricane season,” Pamela said. “Your boat is not covered by insurance if you travel in waters where it is hurricane season so you just don’t do that, not only for safety but for economic reasons as well. You can’t go into the Caribbean until the first of November.”

They plan to leave from the shores of Virginia for the eight-day off-shore passage in the Caribbean which requires a 24-hour watch. Pamela’s son, Nick Anderson, and his friend will join them for that part of the voyage to do three-hour watch stints and take turns sleeping.

When it gets to be hurricane season in the Caribbean, they will head north to the U.S. through Bermuda.

Then the summer of 2016, they plan to travel down the eastern coast of the U.S. to Florida. They then hope to travel to Cuba. From there they will go through Central America.

“The first two years we’ll be in and around the United States,” Kurt said.

The Jaenickes figure to be a good traveling mix. Pamela said Kurt is good with the gear and she is better with the logistics.

“I’m quick thinking with quick reaction and maybe more on the mechanical side,” Kurt said. “Pamela is more calm.”

Follow the Jaenickes’ journey Pamela and Kurt Jaenicke, left Carmel to travel the world this month. “We’re not fully retired,” Kurt said. “We’ll come back and do something.”

The Jaenickes are writing about their travels through a blog: sailblogs.com/member/svfrisky/

Color Guard inspires respect

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P He’s telling us the truth, folks It strikes us that Thomas Sowell - a brilliant man, in our opinion, and a fellow of the Hoover Institute as well as a syndicated columnist – delivered a pinpoint hit on something we’ve thought for some time. It all has to do with the new buzzphrase, “microaggression.” He wrote recently, “Professors at the University of California-Berkeley (home of the Speech-Free Zone; yes, indeed) have been officially warned against saying such things as ‘America is the land of opportunity.’

Why? Because this is considered to be an act of ‘micro-aggression’ against minorities and women. Supposedly it shows that you don’t take their grievances seriously and are therefore guilty of being aggressive toward them, even if only on a micro scale.” By using similar examples and effectively portraying it as so much hogwash, he brought the liberals out of the bushes by the bushels, probably because what he wrote makes so much sense that they can’t comprehend. That, folks, is pathetic. You can’t make it up. We strongly agree with Sowell on a lot of points, but chiefly this one: “The concept of microaggression is just one of many tactics used to stifle differences of opinion by declaring some opinions to be ‘hate speech,’ instead of debating those differences in a marketplace of ideas. To accuse people of aggression for not marching in lockstep with political correctness is to set the stage for justifying real aggression against them.” Liberals may not be aiming at autocracy, but, in Sowell’s words, “their know-it-all mindset leads repeatedly and pervasively in that direction, even if by small steps, each of which might be called “micro-totalitarianism.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Surfing the mob

Commentary by Terry Anker

It is a funny thing, this expressing oneself in a public forum. One takes complex ideas and works to distill them into a few hundred words. If done right, these carefully selected syllables make a point, in the most economical fashion, while retaining a modicum of good humor. If one misses the mark, readers will misunderstand, disagree or worse, disregard the intended idea expressed. It is for this very reason that politics, though alluring for its import (and often salacious subject matter), is particularly difficult to fairly express. But, newspapers may be the ideal place for such discourse – so, we trudge onward.

But if asked should businesses and notfor-profits take a political stand, my instinct is to employ the greatest of caution. Over the years, those organizations in my sway have worked to assert a solid pro-freedom position – whether that is gender equality or religious in nature – but also to know that we do not have the think-tank-capac-

ity to evaluate these political measures in their depth.

Unfortunately, it seems increasingly difficult for even individuals to express a point of view when they ascend to institutional leadership. Some tabloids have taken to printing the names of employers of elected officials with whom they disagree. We can assume retribution was to be the objective. In one recent example, comments following such an online attack article suggested aggressive action be taken towards the grocery chain Kroger. Unfortunately, no one on the long list of supposed wrong-doers were employees of the food company; instead they were from a law firm of a similar moniker.

Mobs turn quickly and can be very dangerous. Surfing upon them can be exhilarating, no doubt, but is it worth the risk?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success.

– Irving Berlin

It’s happened again, friends. One of my long-held beliefs has fallen wayside. Much like Tae Kwon Do, I have a new-found respect for Color Guard. humor Guard, for you amateurs, is the performance counterpart to marching band, aka “the girls with the flags.”

Before my oldest daughter joined the high school team, I had them pegged as being not quite athletic enough to play sports or musical enough to be in the band. Basically, I assumed they’d all been cut from cheerleading.

Granted, I had absolutely no basis for these claims, and in fact, never knew a single person involved in Guard. But I was certain I didn’t want my kids participating.

My apologies to all Guard families! I couldn’t have been more wrong in my judgey analysis! My rising ninth grader has been hard at work for a month (yes, they started in May), and I have already seen a huge difference in her confidence and work ethic.

Not that she was lacking in the self-esteem department, but since her younger sister got heavy into competitive dance, I’ve sensed some jealousy and a tad bit of “I wish I could wear make-up and costumes and be centerstage, too.”

Enter Guard. After two intense weeks of learning basic flag holding, spinning and tossing, and then a choreography mini-camp, the team put on a preview show. My husband and I were absolutely blown away. Our often goofy, in-the-middle-of-teenage-awkward-phase, sometimes-personal-hygienechallenged daughter suddenly transformed into a gorgeous, graceful and strong young woman who had beautiful lines and facial expression. How did this happen?

Turns out, Guard’s secret is building team spirit and togetherness through hard work and accountability. They focus on the whole person, with equal parts physical, emotional and mental exercises to get these girls to believe in themselves and to push for perfection. Our daughter is exhausted almost every night, but I’ve never seen her so passionate about anything.

So thank you, Color Guard, for opening my eyes to your worth. I’m looking forward to adding “Guard Mom” to my minivan! Peace out.

First, I need to set the record straight about my position on trails and paths before I get into to the rest of the story. viewpoint I think trails and paths are nice to have in our community, and no, I never opposed the Monon or any other trail or path in our community. As a jogger I often use the Hagan-Burke Trail and my family members use the Monon Trail on a regular basis.

Well, what does this have to do with a mess on 136th and Carey? Since there is no southbound Keystone entrance off the 146th Street bridge, Carey Road via 136th Street is heavily used to access southbound Keystone.

That combined with Carmel High School traffic and proximity to the 136th and Keystone roundabout makes the intersection of 136th and Carey one of the slowest moving intersections in Carmel. It can take as much as 15 minutes to get through the intersection during rush hour traffic. Drivers also cut through residential streets to try to get on 136th street quicker. The traffic problems in this area are as bad if not worse than when we had stop lights at 136th and Keystone.

I know that city officials and the engineering department are already aware of the traffic problem in that area, however now they have made it even worse. A very nice multi use path has been put in place on 136th

on both sides of the street until you get to Carey Road where it stops on the south side of the street. Two special lights have been installed that users can activate to cross over to the extended path on the north side of 136th street right at Carey Road. The cross over itself is not a bad idea, however it was installed in the worst possible place. Path users will be able to stop traffic and that will make the situation even worse. The original problem was with vehicular traffic, but the new problem will be more dangerous because if introduces pedestrian traffic into the mix. I am a financial professional not an engineer, but even I can see change is needed as I sit in line trying to get through the intersection.

Thanks to the county commissioners some traffic relief will occur when they install an entrance to southbound Keystone off the 146th Street Bridge in the next year or so. However, the mess on Carey and 136th Street and the Keystone Roundabout will continue and needs to be fixed. A traffic engineering study needs to be completed and the whole area, including the roundabout, needs to be reworked based on the findings and recommendations.

Our volunteers are non-paid ambassadors of good will to the patrons of the Center. All of our ushers give freely of their time, talent` and some even give of their treasure in the support and promotion of the performing arts in Carmel.

Most of the members of the Volunteer Focus Committee are ushers themselves who serve at all three venues of the Center. At the Palladium, we are surrounded by beautiful architecture, colorful interiors, and exposed to wondrous sounding concerts in an acoustically finessed hall. Serving at the Tarkington one is witness to the latest, most complete back-stage facilities available anywhere. Re-

cently a shallow-water pool, of all things, was constructed on stage at the Tarkington for a dance performance. For intimacy in theatre productions, volunteers at The Studio Theater, experience a small, black box, floor level stage for small to medium size, even experimental productions.

We invite anyone interested in serving the performing arts community in Carmel to become a Center Volunteer Usher. Come, see, hear and encounter all that the performing arts have to offer and in the process help serve your community.

Designing woman

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I don’t want to spend the money; I don’t think we will get a good return on our investment; the house will be a total humor mess for six weeks; and, I really don’t care if we have soft-close cabinet doors and roll-out pantry shelves.

I only agreed to remodel the kitchen because I was sure that once the construction began, I’d find lots of humorous things to write about, which is way more important to me than granite counter tops with beveled (or did we decide on rounded?) edges.

Hiring the right people to do the kitchen is my wife’s job. Her criteria involve careful perusal of catalogs and confirming ratings on Angie’s List. Several design people came to our house to offer ideas. “Did you like the proposal from the guy at Kitchens Galore?” asked Mary Ellen.

“Not really,” I said. “I don’t think he is going to be funny to work with.”

“You mean ‘fun’ to work with?”

“No,‘funny.’ I’m not shelling out big bucks and then have nothing to show for it.”

“Is that why you wanted to go with me when I looked for kitchen lighting?”

“Yes, I thought you would be funny looking.”

“Excuse me?”

“Let me re-punctuate that. I thought you’d be funny, looking. You’d be walking up and down the aisles examining fixtures, asking about wattage and lumens. Gotta be laughs in that.”

My life is spent hoping I can turn something into a funny story. My supplemental health plan notified me they could not cover my prostate exam because they had me listed as a woman. “Why are you happy about this?” asked Mary Ellen, who, by the way, was almost 100 percent sure that it was a mistake.

“Because when I tell them I am on Medicare, they’ll ask me which parts. And I can say: ‘The parts you’re not covering.’”

Completely remodeling our kitchen will create a major disruption in our lives. Making this commitment is not a laughing matter. But I’m hoping to change that.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre celebrates 100 years with gala

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com

Supporters of the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre celebrated its 100th anniversary at the historic Booth Tarkington house on Indianapolis’ near anniversary north side on June 20.

The gala event raised over $61,000 for the community theatre, which is one of the oldest in the country. The theatre also raised over $9,000 from online donations the previous day.

John Hedges, the executive director of the theatre, said that community support allows the theatre to inspire young people.

“Engendering a sense of hope in young people is at the core of our education system and at the Civic Theatre,” Hedges said. “Theatre at its best is where you go to gain your sense of humanity.”

The Civic Theatre offers classes to children, young adults and adults that want to act.

“I’m so proud of everything Civic does,” Brent Marty, the director of music and education, said. “I feel we do quality work.”

Attendees saw the Junior Civic group perform a number from “Alice in Wonderland.” They also saw Park Tudor student Nick Gehring perform a song from “Oklahoma!” Adult actors Katie Schuman and Tobin Strader then performed a song from “Spamalot.”

“The reason why we’re here is because everyone here has done something to help Civic Theatre,” Hedges said.

Alyssa Boge, a volunteer curator with the theatre, helped organize a collection of historic memorabilia. She said that famous author and dramatist Booth Tarkington

(Above) Tobin Strader, left, and Katie Schuman performed a song from “Spamalot.”

(Left) Chairman of the Civic Theatre board of trustees, Connie Horwitz, spoke after receiving an award to recognize her service to the theatre.

once noted that the Civic Theatre performed one of his plays better than Broadway.

Boge said that the theatre formed 100 years ago because everyday people wanted to see shows.

“It was starting because there wasn’t a lot of theatre in Indianapolis,” Boge said.

The theatre’s next show is “Oklahoma!” which runs from July 23 to the 26. Tickets are on sale at civictheatre.org

Lions Parks to host annual summer concert series

By Joseph Knoop • news@currentincarmel.com The Zionsville Lions Club’s July Concert Series is bringing four separate free concerts for the public throughout the month of July.

2015’s series’ theme “Movie Musical Magic Brings music Broadway Across America” plans to bring a number of show-tune-themed performances to the Lions Club in Zionsville.

“I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy: A Salute to America From Broadway and Hollywood,” directed by John Richardson and performed by the Zionsville Concert Band is scheduled for July 5. Featured soloists are Kathy and Tim Haines.

“Immortal Showtunes From Broadway,” directed by Samuel Rhinesmith and performed by the New Horizon Band is scheduled for July 12.

“Highlights and Songs From Broadway at the Movies,” directed

by Will Frazier and performed by the Swing Shift Indy Jazz Band is scheduled for July 19.

“Broadway Gold From Broadway’s Biggest Hits,” directed by Dr. Daniel Zolin and performed by the Indianapolis Municipal Band is scheduled for July 26.

“I started this series because families seldom have good family time,” Joyce Davis said. Davis has been the concert director for the Zionsville Lions Club for 11 years. “I wanted a wholesome environment for children and their parents to come.”

Each concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Lions Clubhouse at 115 S Elm St. in Zionsville with sound provided by David Thompson. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs. Refreshments are provided for a donation.

“I wanted them to hear music that will be around 100 years from now because it’s been around 50 to 80 years already,” Davis said.

“It’s lasting music that won’t just come and go as a fad. It’s such a thrill to me when people say ‘thank you so much.’”

CarmelFest – Helpful Hints

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, 3 band-aids, 2 granola bars, cell phone, breath spray (in case you indulge in a festival-food-gyro), a camera and a wallet.

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

• Know the times & stages for your favorite shows - CarmelFest offers Free Entertainment on 3 stages: KidZone, Gazebo & North Zone. 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)

SPONSORED IN PART BY:

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 new “no pets” policy for the safety of your pets and festival goers.

A Costa Rican classic Commentary by Ceci Martinez Take a virtual trip to beautiful Costa Rica!

“Gallo Pinto” (“Speckled Rooster” for the color of rice and beans together), is a very popular breakfast dish.

Note: The secret for delicious plantains is to let them ripe until the peel becomes black and soft. You can find plantains in most markets but they are rarely sold as ripe as you want them for the “Gallo Pinto” recipe. Place them inside a brown bag to speed up ripening.

GALLO PINTO Serve: 4 / Cook: 20 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups pre-cooked white rice, or left over rice, 1 (16 oz.) can of black beans, Pinch of cumin, Salt and pepper to taste, About 8 sweet bell peppers, finely chopped, Handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half, 1 onion, finely chopped, 2 over-ripe plantains, 4 eggs Directions: Preheat canola oil. Peel plantains, slice into diagonal 1/4 thick pieces and add them to hot oil.

Fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side [let you dad or mom take care of this step- hot oil burns]. Place fried plantains on napkin to absorb excess oil.

(Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Cook onion until brown, add bell peppers and cherry tomatoes; cumin, salt and pepper to taste. In a microwave oven heat rice and black beans in separate containers. Panfry eggs sunny side up.

Assemble your ingredients: fill 1/2 cup with rice, add two spoonfuls of onion/pepper/ tomato mix and fill up cup with rice, and invert over plate.

Surround rice “volcano” with egg, plantain and a slice of avocado.

Strawberry aliens are a simple – and healthy – summer treat. (Submitted photo courtesy of MSN Recipes)

Simple summer treats for kids news@currentincarmel.com

Would you like to make your kids some fun and creative treats for the summer without losing hours of your time? Then recipe try a few of these quick and easy ideas!

1. For something quick and sweet, you can try taking a standard Rice Krispie treat and dipping one end in chocolate, adding a few sprinkles for added effect. Add a Popsicle stick on the other end to keep your kids’ hands clean!

2. If you’re looking for healthier options, maybe you’d like to try making strawberry aliens! Making these is as simple

as slicing off the bottom of a strawberry so it’s flat, then spreading a little cream cheese mixed with strawberry preserves across the broader part to make a face (add a little of the mixture to the inside of the strawberry, too). Add mini chocolate chips for eyes, and then bring in the kids to help skewer blueberries, raspberries, and other fruits with toothpicks to make antennae or hats for each alien.

3. Another healthy snack involves making a snail shape out of celery and a slice of cucumber. Just spread some yogurt inside the celery, add a toothpick with a cucumber slice for a shell, and position two chickpeas at the front for eyes!

Get fit with your little one Commentary by Kara Babcock Summer is finally here! Not only is the warm, sunny weather a great time for cookouts, going to the zoo and exercise baseball games, but it’s also a great time to get outside and exercise with your little ones.

With all Hamilton County has to offer here are a few of Baby Boot Camp-Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers recommendations on some fun and easy places to get exercise this summer.

Park: The park is by far the best place to get fit! You can use the benches, swings, slides and monkey bars as your exercise equipment by doing push-ups, pull-ups or planks. In addition, while you are getting exercise, your little one is having a blast playing.

Walking trails: In Hamilton County, we have so many great walking tails. For example, take a family walk or bike ride down the Monon Trail. It will be a great way to get outside, get fresh air and bond with your baby. If you want to add a little more cardio to your walk, you can run with your stroller, or do high knees while running with your stroller or walking stroller lunges.

Backyard: The most convenient is to make

Feel like you have too much fat around the belly? Besides feeling conscientious, it may be negatively affecting your nutrition health. Much of belly fat can be visceral fat, or fat lying under the abdominal muscle. Visceral fat is linked to negative health effects of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes as it increases insulin resistance.

We can do a lot about it though. A first step is to start cutting out the junk carbohydrates which feeds our belly fat. These carbohydrates are refined sugars and also starches in the form of foods such as grains and potatoes, which quickly metabolize into sugar in your body. Reducing as much of these carbohydrates as possible is important in reducing belly fat.

There are supplements that can also help your body attack and metabolize belly fat.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a fatty acid natural to our bodies that has been shown to reduce fat around the core area. Participants in studies have lost from 1.5 to three pounds by simply adding 1.7 grams of CLA supplement to their daily diet.

use of your back yard. If your child is old enough to walk, get a sprinkler out and play in the water. If they are old enough to run, you can both take turns running thru the water to cool off while also getting a little cardio. Other fun ways to get a little cardio are to get your neighbors and play a fun game of tag or whiffle ball. Your little ones will love playing and also seeing their parents laugh and have fun.

How to attack belly fat Commentary by Corey Black

19

CLA works by improving fat metabolism and prevent its storage by helping glucose pass into muscle cells more effectively, preventing it from being converted into fat. As well CLA helps fat enter the cell membranes of muscle and connective tissue, where the fat is burned for fuel. It also interferes with a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that is used to store fat in your body.

To increase fat metabolism, a green tea extract supplement is a powerful tool. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants. One of them in particular is EGCG, which has been found to accelerate metabolism. EGCG naturally stimulates the central nervous system and causes fat to be released into the blood stream for the body to use as fuel. It provides extra energy, sheds excess water, and helps burn off body fat.

Don’t just ignore or accept belly fat. It’s more important to your health than you know.

A local business can now use drones commercially thanks to a Federal Aviation Administration exemption. growth BirdsiVideo, based in Carmel, received an FAA exemption last month that allows it to fly drones for commercial purposes. While drone operation rules have been proposed by the FAA, it has banned drone flights for commercial purposes. Final rulings are expected in two to three years, but select companies such as BirdsiVideo have been granted exemptions to fly drones commercially. The Carmel-area business is just the 138th exemption granted nationwide and the 3rd in Indiana.

BirdsiVideo video producer Nik Heimach said that the exemption has opened the door for him and his FAA-certified business partner to take their business to the next level.

“Your mind just kind of explodes with possibilities that this could be used for,” Heimach said. “The cool thing is, we’re open to whatever a client wants from this. We’re not shoehorned into one industry or another. We encourage them to have creative ideas like us so that we can collaborate on new ways to even do this.”

The services that BirdsiVideo can provide

range from helping real estate companies show off prospective homes to cities wanting a promotional video to show off their attractions. For example, Heimach said his company was working with the City of Carmel to promote construction and renovation work, as well as the city’s attractions. They have also done work with Westfield’s Grand Park to show off its facilities.

Home sales up 5.6 percent Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $178,606, year-to-date sales prices increased by 5.6 percent in the nine real estate counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Tucker’s data indicates that seven counties experienced slightly higher home sales prices than in May 2014. Hamilton County was among the areas where sales increased – rising by 4.6 percent to $272,722.

• Carmel is among the areas where prices are trending up. For the first five months of this year, sale prices averaged $349,606, an increase of 5.5 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the pended home sales in Carmel, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 25 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 59 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 52 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 24 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and three were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Homes in Carmel are selling at a faster pace. Year to date, homes are staying on

the market 74 days, a decrease of five days compared to last year.

• Home buyers in Carmel are discovering more options. Last month, 581 homes were available, an uptick of 21 homes compared to May 2014.

• On a monthly basis, pended home sales slipped in Carmel. In May 2015, 165 homes pended, a decline of 60 homes compared to May 2014.

With 2,910 pended sales in May in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 9 percent compared to this time period last year. On a monthly basis, May 2015 pended home sales slipped 3.9 percent compared to May 2014, a decline of 117 homes sold.

With only 3.8 months of inventory available in Central Indiana, we’re definitely experiencing a seller’s market. Sellers are benefitting from rising prices as inventory continues to tighten.

“We looked at the ability to save in the county and that was a function of how much it cost to live there vs. the income people are making,” Smith said. “That gives you a measure of the opportunity for people to save for retirement. We also looked the tax friendliness of the area. If you would stay in Hamilton County and retire there, how tax friendly it is.

You have to save more if you are going to face tax barriers in retirement.”

Jones expands Carmel computer coding academy

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Scott Jones, founder of local company Cha Cha and an inventor known for the early days of voicemail, announced that growth he plans on expanding his Carmel-based computer coding academy by nearly $1 million and 92 jobs in the coming years.

Firebirds restaurant planned for Drury Hotel

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Charlotte, North Carolina-based Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is planning to open its first Indiana coming soon location in the new Drury Hotel located on the Carmel-side of the border along 96th and Meridian streets.

The fast-growing national chain is known for wood-fired steaks, chicken, seafood and ribs and currently boasts 36 locations in 13 states.

According to a report from city planning officials, the new location will be 7,462 square feet including patio seating located on a vacant out-lot of the hotel. There will no full-service restaurant within the hotel and this was always part of the hotel’s plans, according to the report.

Parking should be adequate with more than 400 parking spaces in total for the hotel and restaurant. There are more than 200 seats in the restaurant – not including employees – so it’s estimated that usually more than 100 parking spaces would be needed for just the restaurant, but the city anticipates that many hotel guest will plan on eating at the restaurant so the shared space should work fine.

The hotel itself will be 10 stories will more than 200 rooms.

Firebirds menu features items such as crab cakes, coconut shrimp, filet kabob, slow-roasted prime rib, bleu cheese filet, parmesan-crusted mahi, cilantro-grilled chicken breast, sesame-encrusted salmon and braised tenderloin pasta. Prices range from $10 to $33 for entrees.

A new definition for ‘dote?’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Just found out there is a definition for ‘dote’ I was not aware of. To me it has always been ‘to show grammar guy excessive love or fondness.’ Ex: She loves to dote on her children. Then while looking up the word, I find it is, also, ‘to be foolish, or feeble-minded’ especially as a result of senility. WOW! I could have called someone ‘a dotage’ or ‘dotard’, and they may not have felt so insulted. Haha. The things one finds in the dictionary … it never ends.” -- (Clem Sare) Answer: Clem, you can call anyone you want a “dotard” … as long as it isn’t me.

Since you bring it up, “dotage” is an interesting word. It’s not one you hear very often either, so I thought it would be fun to write about.

As you said earlier, to “dote” is either to exhibit mental decline similar to old age or to be lavish or excessive in one’s attention. It’s a dichotomy a Spartan would laugh at – if Spartans were prone to laughing.

“Dotage,” though, only has one meaning – maybe. Both Oxford and Merriam-Webster only seem to recognize “dotage” as meaning “the period of life in which a person is old and weak.” So you wouldn’t call someone “a dotage,” but rather say they are in “their dotage.”

Other, less reputable dictionaries, however, offer a second “nouning of the verb,” if you will. To wit: Defining “dotage” as “excessive or foolish affection.”

Now, I can’t say I’ve ever heard “dotage” to mean anything other than the definition Oxford and MerriamWebster list. If anything, I would think it would be more common to use the gerund “doting” if one wanted to talk about the aforementioned excessive and foolish affection.

But, then again, who am I to say? I’m just a Grammar Guy.

… you can call anyone you want a “dotard” … as long as it isn’t me.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce I can see what you see. The proliferation of social media has allowed us to share events with friends and family across the globe. Through pictures, tweets, status updates and a host of sites, a virtual travelogue of someone’s life is available. . .to everyone. In the world of divorce litigation, however, this has given rise to an entirely new method of collecting information and, ultimately, evidence to put before a court charged with deciding divisions of assets and custody of children. With the popularity of social media, the internet is filled with information from online profiles. Users who are unaware of the broad availability of this information to a former spouse or opposing counsel are posting at their own risk. With so much of what is posted being available to “share,” it is nearly impossible to control access to this information. Further, as part of information exchanges common to divorce proceedings, it is now common to request the entire history of a Twitter account or Facebook page, so even if your privacy settings would not allow the former spouse or counsel to see your account in real time, they will get to comb over all your pictures and posts to pick out those which can cast you in a negative light.

Tweeting evidence. That great picture of you and a bunch of friends doing shots before the concert received 62 “likes,” 22 “comments,” and 5 “shares.” Now it’s being presented to a Court to show that you left the children with a sitter while you went out and got drunk. Fair or unfair, in the hands of

an experienced litigator that post can speak volumes about your priorities, bad habits and even the quality of your parenting. That “vent” about how the children would be so much better off if your ex joined the Peace Corps and vanished from their lives? It’s being presented to argue that you’ve done all you can to alienate the children. These are just examples of “normal” interactions through social media that, in the context of a contested divorce, can be damaging to your position and compromise your arguments to a court.

How is it used? The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled that witness testimony identifying a Twitter account taken together with the posted content was enough to authenticate that the account belonged to a criminal defendant without the identification of the account by the defendant himself. Of course, the most common way for that evidence to make it before the Court will be to have the actual person identify the account and the questionable position during cross-examination. Don’t let this be you!

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.

The Capitol in Washington, D.C., is among the most-recognizable buildings in the world.

Even the name of this symbol travel of American democracy mirrors European religious buildings, some of them pagan.

In 1791, Pierre L’Enfant, a French-born artist, developed a plan for a new government city along the Potomac River, choosing Jenkins Hill for the “Congress House.” Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson renamed both the hill and the proposed building after Rome’s Capitoline Hill, the site of the ancient temple to Jupiter Optimus Maximus Capitolinus. Jefferson then suggested that those submitting designs for the new Capitol should evoke the Pantheon, a second century domed temple to all Roman gods. William Thornton, a Scottish-trained physician living in the West Indies, submitted the winning design, incorporating elements of the Pantheon into the section between the legislative chambers, with a low dome centered on columns, supporting a classic pediment. These design elements were modified, but all were included in the original Capitol, which was finally completed in 1818 after being damaged in the War of 1812.

By 1850, Congress had outgrown the legis-

lative chambers and approved adding a new chamber at each end of the existing Capitol.

The existing dome then appeared too small in relation to the larger building. Like the Pantheón, the Capitol now incorporates a “double dome,” the inner section, scaled to fit the original rotunda, and the outer section, scaled to the larger exterior.

Because the cast iron was showing signs of deterioration, the Capitol dome has been

under repair since 2014. The history of the dome and illustrations of the Capitol designs since 1792 can be reviewed in the massive underground visitors’ center, opened in 2008.

Build a meaty grilling station

Commentary by Randy Sorrell THRILLING … the one word description of the featured grill station! It hardly seems meaty enough outdoor living though. The bold confidence required to implement the first few phases of this modern project (not contemporary) was both gutsy and visionary.

The incredibly versatile and forward materials selected are reminiscent of a favorite magazine spread featuring an outdoor living space you may recall. While edgy, it rings of historical spaces we often experience in dense metropolitan vibes, where real estate is precious and a rare stroke of grass is coveted.

IPE. STEEL. Ipe is a Brazilian hardwood, often environmentally farmed, whose longevity will certainly span our children’s lifetime. The density and weight has a steel quality about it, especially when it’s time to cut or drive a nail through.

Disney employs the wood often for ease of maintenance, its sleek beauty and generational duration. It’s gorgeous and intended to gradually turn a naturally silver hue.

(Submitted photos)

Both the counter surface and the facade of the grill station were built using ipe with a heavy steel post anchoring the end of the bar height counter. Ipe and steel are repeated elsewhere in the design, but you will have to wait on that encounter. Lust away.

COURTYARD Detailed planning married with strong horizontal lines and eliminating curves causes this abbreviated courtyard to live much larger than it actually is. There is a gentle embrace of the space.

I can’t wait to share the final phases we’ve completed. You will be thrilled with the story.

There’s no home appliance that’s more hardworking than the kitchen sink. Between cooking activities to remodeling cleaning tasks, the kitchen sink plays a part in it all. Since they are the center of the any room they are installed in, it’s no surprise that the sink becomes a major centerpiece for the design of a kitchen.

Top mounts styles are the easiest and most inexpensive. They are designed to be dropped right into the countertop opening, and are equipped with a rim that goes over the counter to secure the sink in place. While this rim makes the sink cheaper, it can also be a trouble spot for dirt and bacteria to hide in, if the sink is not cleaned properly.

We recommend an undermount sink which provides a much sleeker look. With these designs, the sink mounts to the underside of the countertop: no rim, no mess. Additionally, they may require some kind of internal support system to secure the sink depending on the building material you select.

Finally, homeowners searching for vintage charm have been choosing apron-front (or farmhouse) style sinks. Apron-front designs

have a deep basin, which is appealing for homeowners who want to soak dishes or scrub large pots in the sink. However, this model typically requires specially fitted cabinets. As the design becomes more popular, some manufacturers are creating designs that makes it possible to retro-fit one of these sinks onto a standard cabinet designs.

Do your research, and make sure you choose a model that will work for your remodel project.

Additionally, designers have been creating accessories that make various tasks that center around the kitchen sink much easier.

For example, there are sinks available that feature fitted cutting boards, drying racks, utensil trays and colanders.

If you’ve got questions, consult the Affordable Companies to learn more about sink installation and design for your kitchen, bathroom or other living space.
