Carmel shows off city during mayors conference

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Hundreds of municipal leaders from across the United States enjoyed an evening out in Carmel on June 24 as one of the kickoff events for the U.S. Conference of Mayors in event Indianapolis.

The event at the JW Marriott hotel, which was held from June 24 to 27, brought many big names to Indianapolis, including the Dalai Lama, Lady Gaga and Hillary Clinton.

Registered attendees, which included mayors, political leaders, business leaders and news reporters, were treated to a private concert at The Palladium by multi-platinum-selling singer Michael Feinstein, artistic director of the Center for the Performing Arts.

Guests dined on crab legs and shrimp cocktail while watching circus performers in a large tent set up on the center green of the Center for the Performing Arts. A fireworks display lit up the skies at approximately 9 p.m., and guests were shuttled in buses to the Carmel Arts & Design District, where several bands and musical artists performed along Main Street. Sophia Square hosted a VIP area, and the general public was invited to the arts district for the festivities, with many restaurants and art galleries staying open until midnight.

“Mayors from all over the United States were in Carmel and saw our redevelopment projects, saw how we use the arts, saw our economic development,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “A tremendous number of business sponsors from the event were there as well as business leaders who come to conference to meet with mayors to talk about business relocations. National media were there, and we already have some leads on possible business relocations.”

Brainard rearranged his schedule and decided against a trip overseas so he could focus on planning for the event. He said $50,000 was

spent from the city’s economic development fund on the event and was approved by the Carmel City Council. In addition, he said Carmel raised more than $400,000 in donations from private businesses for the event.

The City of Carmel worked to make sure the area was presentable for the event, which included completing a landscaping project outside of The Palladium. Architectural renderings of under-construction projects were displayed outside of construction sites. Temporary statues were set up outside of The Palladium.

The event was advertised as “Late Night on Main,” and Brainard said it made long-term and immediate impacts on local businesses.

“The short-term economic impact is people walking up and down and buying things,” he said. “One gallery owner told me that they sold more art in one day than they had in weeks, and that was good to hear. Our restaurants were busy and a lot of people from the Midwest tell me they are already planning return visits.”

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Clay and Washington townships met June 28 to vote on whether to add a mass transit funding referendum to transportation Nov. 8 ballots.

Whereas the Washington Township board unanimously voted in favor of having the referendum, the Clay Township board decided not to vote on the proposal, therefore preventing the referendum from being added to ballots. The Clay Township board agreed to delay voting on the matter until 2018, at the earliest.

This referendum would have allowed voters to decide on a tax increase that would help fund a mass transit system, the Red Line.

“Our Washington Township board unanimously approved the referendum on the ballot

and letting the voters decide what they want,” Washington Township Trustee Danielle Carey Tolan said. “(The board) made it very clear they weren’t committing to any plans, but they felt the voters should decide. Since the Clay Township board decided not to vote on the proposal last night, ours had a continuance so that our referendum is null and void now.”

Cindy Benedict, Indy Connect project manager, said previously only counties had the ability to vote on placing a referendum on a ballot.

An amendment was approved in April that now allows townships to vote. However, a township only can vote for the referendum if the bordering township already has approved the referendum. In this case, Washington Township was dependent on what Clay Township decided.

“While we were disappointed for a delay, we are still here and we will be continuing to edu-

cate people,” Benedict said. “It’s an issue that’s not going to go away because our community, as it grows in population, needs more transportation options.”

During the time before the next township vote, Benedict said Indy Connect will continue to educate the public and update its website, indyconnect.org, on mass transit studies and public programs.

“As studies are completed on transit we also post those,” she said. “There are a bunch of studies coming out in August on things like economic impact … so as those get completed, we will post them. Indy Connect will continue doing public meetings on transit and transit options for Hamilton County. There is no schedule right now, but there will be more public input on what people would like for Hamilton County mass transit.”

Johnson is city’s first Olympian

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Steele Johnson relies heavily on his Christian faith. The U.S. Olympic Diving Trials were a testament to that. achievement “This entire week was the most emotionally and physically drained I’ve ever been,” said Johnson, a Carmel resident who dives for Purdue. “But it’s also the most spiritually strong that I’ve ever been.

That’s what gave me the enJohnson ergy to go out (in the finals) and put six dives together.”

Johnson, who will be the first Olympian in Carmel’s rich swimming and diving history, qualified for the second spot June 26 in the 10-meter platform final at the Natatorium at IUPUI. David Boudia, a Noblesville High School graduate and 2012 Olympic platform gold medalist, captured the top spot. The top two advance to the Rio Olympics in August.

“I’m exhausted, but there was this sense of calmness, comfort and adrenaline that helped me get through the event and do the best I could,” said Johnson, who turned 20 years old on June 16.

Steele Johnson competes for Purdue University.

(Submitted photo)

Johnson and Boudia previously qualified as a duo on June 23 for the 10-meter synchronized event. So they will be working together and competing against each other.

“We’re going to battle it out in practice,” Johnson said. “(Boudia) wants to retain his gold medal and I want to snag that from him.”

Johnson won two NCAA titles as a Purdue freshman but redshirted the 2015-16 season to concentrate on his Olympic quest. Johnson, who does regular video blogs, is majoring in film and video studies and wants to be a director or cinematographer. Johnson earned his high school degree online while concentrating on his diving.

Freemasons: Giving since 1870

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Hommel said.

The Carmel lodge fundraises for a variety of events and causes.

Currently, the group is raising money for a woman with cancer, and in the past it has raised money for families that couldn’t afford holiday gifts or dinner.

The Carmel Masons will be at CarmelFest selling grilled cheese sandwiches July 3 and 4, and in September, the group is organizing a golf scramble to raise funds.

For more, visit carmel421.com. Visit currentincarmel.com for the full story.

If there’s anything Dave Hommel wants Carmel residents to know, it’s that there is a freemason lodge in Carmel, and that clubs the group has been very active in the community since 1870, when the city was originally known as Bethlehem.

“There’s a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about how free masonry was set up,” Hommel, the group’s worshipful master, said.

To be a free mason, those wanting to join must have faith, although Hommel said the group is nondenominational, and there are a variety of religions among the approximately 220 members of the Carmel lodge, 310 First Ave. N.E. “‘Making good men better’ is our hope, and when you join the free maFrom left, Senior Deacon Ben Edde, Junior Stewart Bob Hedin, James Bucksonry, we hope its horn, Senior Warden Dave Philpott, Charles Sparks, Worshipful Master structure and cereDave Hommel, Chaplain and Trustee Bill Sanders Jr., Brad Rollo, Tyler Jack monies lead you into Moorman, Secretary Gustavo DePaula, Junior Deacon Jordan Lambuth and self-improvement,” Trustee Neil Anger.

The 14th Dalai Lama took the stage with pop singer Lady Gaga and journalist Ann Curry June 26 at the U.S. Conference of event Mayors in Indianapolis to speak about compassion.

Several officials from Hamilton County were in attendance, including Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Noblesville City Councilor Chris Jensen and Nancy Heck, Carmel’s director of community relations and economic development. Brainard led a session on energy independence and climate protection in a nearby room immediately after the speech.

The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, talked about how negative feelings and hatred can cause physical harm.

He said education is the key to help teach people to see things from other people’s point of view.

“I always say the 20th century was a century of violence, but the 21st century should be a century of dialogue,” he said.

Brainard said he was impressed by the Dalai Lama's remarks.

"The Dalai Lama was wonderful," he said.

"You can see why he leads. He has patience, kindness, humor, compassion. He gave a great

talk to the mayors. I think a lot of mayors are interested in this topic. He stressed the need of teaching young kids kindness. He stressed the importance of education. We need to make sure everyone on the globe has the opportunity to a decent education."

Lady Gaga’s remarks touched on the recent mass shooting in Orlando at a gay nightclub.

She said it’s important to reach the youth in U.S. cities through youth councils to teach kindness.

In Carmel, youth programs include the Mayor’s Youth Council and the Hamilton Council Youth Assistance Program.

New U.S. citizen Stefanie Sharp a rising star in long distance running

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

lived in the West Germany, but because of the political divide, she didn’t know them well.

That connection, however, was enough to change the course of her life. Her mother had remained close with a relative whose son was attending college at Purdue University.

When they heard that his American friend was looking for a German pen pal, Stefanie was intrigued.

“I was totally blown away by the fact that he spoke English,” Stefanie said. “I was never exposed to any international people, and I found (the language) really fascinating.”

Stefanie’s new pen pal, Scott Sharp, was a pilot who had previously lived in Germany, and soon he traveled there once again so they could meet. They officially began a long distance dating relationship, trekking across the Atlantic Ocean every two weeks to see each other. They married in Germany in 2008 and moved to Carmel in 2009.

Stefanie got a job at the National Bank of Indianapolis, where she had the opportunity to improve her English and begin networking with people from the area. One year later, she accepted a new challenge in the human resources department, where she enjoys working with people and encouraging them in one of her new passions: health and wellness.

Four years ago, Stefanie Sharp was lacing up her shoes to compete in her first road race, CarmelFest’s 4.5-mile Freedom Run. cover story She completed the race respectably in the middle of the pack, but crossing the finish line sparked a passion for pushing her limits. This holiday weekend, she’s signed up to run a 100K race in her hometown of Fröttstädt, Germany.

“It’s one thing I want to accomplish, and I see that as my final destination in ultra running, if you ask today,” Stefanie said. “If you ask me after the 100K, I might be up to 100 miles by then.”

Stefanie’s running partners have been amazed and inspired by her progress in such a short time.

“She was just doing her first marathon a couple of years ago, and when she started she just hasn’t stopped. She’s just blown everybody away,” said Rana Kory, a friend and running partner from Carmel. “She’s done more ultras than probably anybody I know.”

Getting fit

Big Changes Sharp, 32, has found her stride in Carmel, where she’s lived for the past seven years. But her life looked much different a decade ago as she wrapped up her studies in the financial industry in her native Germany.

She grew up in a town of 420 people between Frankfurt and Berlin, born into socialist East Germany. Members of her family

As Stefanie Sharp has been furiously marking off athletic accomplishments, she recently checked another goal off her list when she became a U.S. citizen May 19.

She said she has always felt welcome in her new country, feeling pride when hearing the national anthem long before she became a citizen.

“I am so proud to represent the U.S.,” said Stefanie, who also maintains her German citizenship. “It was a natural development in my personal history, and it makes me feel so much closer to America.”

After the ceremony, Stefanie celebrated with “good German food” and returned to an office decorated in American flags.

It wasn’t until after Stefanie moved to Carmel she decided she wanted to improve her health. When she gave running a try, she admittedly hated it at first.

But after finishing her first race, she decided to keep pushing herself, seeing how far she could go. She completed a half marathon, a marathon, a 50K trail ultra-marathon and a 50-mile race.

Scott, a 2001 Carmel High School graduate, said he was surprised when Stefanie decided to become an ultra-distance runner, but quickly discovered that she was a natural.

“She may not even sweat,” he said of her three-hour warmup jogs.

Stefanie trains for her races all over central Indiana. Some of her favorite trails are in Eagle Creek Park, Fort Harrison State Park, Cool Creek Park, along the Monon Trail and on the trail system behind Northview Church.

As Stefanie has become a rising star in the ultra running community, her friends say her spirit of humility and compassion outshines anything else on her impressive resume.

“She is so much faster than I am, but she was nice enough that she slowed her pace down to stay with me and got me through that race,” said Darrell Brumfield, a friend who recently joined her at the Dances with Dirt race in Gnaw Bone, Ind. “That’s just the kind of person she is. She gave up her competitiveness to help me get through that and help me finish.”

Stefanie isn’t sure how far she runs a week, because to her the point isn’t to rack up mileage.

“For me, it’s about fun,” she said. “My running motto is ‘Run long, run often, but never outrun your joy of running.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Who’s least untrustworthy?

OK, we can’t help ourselves with respect to the upcoming presidential election. It’s no surprise the vitriol gets nastier by the day, and it’s going to get much, much worse. We tend to agree with recent comments made by well-known pollster Frank Lantz, who, commenting on the high negatives of both Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Donald Trump (R-Billions), said, “The candidate who proves they are less untrustworthy is the candidate that’s going to win.” So Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” label likely makes sense. She’s hitting back, of course, but Trump is smart in bringing up all the past Bill and Hillary scandals of the past, as most of us forget the details. While pundits have told us this election will be like no other, it does bring to mind the 1988 battle between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis (Remember him?). The Republicans knew it had a weak candidate in Bush, and the strategy was not to build up Bush but tear down Dukakis.

Mission accomplished. Perhaps this is what 2016 is all about: Whoever can launch more and effective punishing attacks on the other, wins. Trump has a great arsenal in Hillary being, well, Hillary, but we never underestimate the power of the Clinton machine. Either way, it will be a great spectator sport.

••• We hope you will have a safe and restful, if not overly patriotic, holiday weekend. Our nation’s independence is reliant on so many, and it’s defended the world over. To those that serve, and to those that came before them, our heartfelt thanks for all that is done each day so that we are ensured our freedom continues unabated.

Fame: It’s going to live forever Commentary by Terry Anker It is a popular subject of our culture. We sing songs about it. We dedicate films and television shows to it. It seems that we even select our political leaders, in part, because of it. Fame. It is pursued and reviled in nearly equal measure. Yet, its allure is undeniable because of both the power it bestows and the very fact that it bends the rules of life to conform to those who wield it. There are no velvet ropes that cannot be moved or inconveniences that cannot be overcome. For those standing in the bright light of fame, as 1980s British rock-and-roll band Dire Straits memorialized in its anthem to fame – you get “money for nothin’ and chicks for free.”

We all want to be special. There is nothing innately wrong with the desire to have our peers take notice of our ability, appearance or agenda. It is good to feel loved. One might imagine it is good to have things go our way a bit more. But the reality distorting prin-

ciples of fame often become a dangerous and addictive state of affairs. Too quickly one can come to believe that privileges, once imagined to be special, are now to be expected. They consider a life without firstclass passage too difficult to be endured.

Can we become trapped by our own expectations? Surely. Can our understandable need to be important be tainted as we achieve the very thing that we are seeking?

Probably. Kardashians, political candidates and community organizers all use fame as a tool to open doors and meet objectives.

In fact, it is most impressive what can be achieved doing little more than manipulate fame. But, is being a V.I.P. enough? Is fame an end in itself? Somehow, I doubt it.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”

– Richard Nixon

Recently we Wilsons had an interesting turn of events to which, in the broader context of parenting, I think humor many of you will relate.

My boy/girl twins are almost 15 and were set to make their Catholic confirmation last weekend. On the last day of their five-day preparation retreat, literally seven hours before the ceremony, I got a call from my son telling me he did not want to be Catholic.

He would not be making his confirmation that evening. My initial thought was, “But I ordered two cakes!”

He couldn’t explain his reasoning over the phone but assured me that this decision was not something he had taken lightly. I told him I was proud of him for choosing his own path, but hung up in tears. Had I done this? Had I been the one to turn him away from Catholicism, from my heritage? Or was he simply acting out a teenage rebellion, deciding this was easier than smoking pot? With no time to contemplate my maternal shortcomings – his sister was still going through after all – I continued making pasta salad for the post-mass party.

I did however text the relatives to let them know what had transpired and left the question of gift etiquette in their hands. When I picked him up prior to the mass, I heard his reasons. They were good. They were strong. And in that moment, I realized maybe I was actually a decent mom. I’d somehow taught my kid to stand up for his beliefs, whatever they are, and even if they aren’t the same as my own.

To my surprise (and his, I suspect), the family recognized this as a special moment, too. They rallied around my son in support of his decision, showering him with cards and cash anyway. In one particularly brilliant recovery, an aunt simply crossed out the word “confirmation” and wrote “cool new glasses.” Perfect.

Teens don’t always make the right call, which is why at cross country drop-off I love yelling “Make good choices!” But in this case, my son made the right one.

Peace out.

Mass transit a losing proposal Editor, Mass transit and Carmel tax payers (are) being sucked into another losing proposition.

It’s been done around the country. (Current Publishers) Brian (Kelly) and Steve (Greenberg), can’t agree with you more. But, as she said, it’s only a tall $18 beverage. Sorry, I don’t spend that kind of money on beverages, and I resent being forced to. That ends up being $216 a year. Yeah, to me that’s a lot of money to lose. But especially I resent the sneaky way they try to push the mass transit through.

People in Carmel won’t use it. I worked (in) downtown Indy for 12 years and used public transportation. When my work schedule changed, and I couldn’t work 8 to 5, I had to stop. I rode the Trailways bus and the Sheridan bus line those 12 years, Indy to Carmel.

So, I do have experience behind my thinking.

Appreciate your thinking and article in Current.

Please keep up the good job trying to inform the public.

Stephen Audritsh, Carmel

Continue to keep us informed Editor, Please continue to update and keep us informed on the mass transit issue.

I heartily agree with your position and, from what I know, there is no self-supporting system in existence.

It would be a continuing financial burden to

taxpayers and usage is VERY questionable.

Washington, D.C., which has a noticeable lack of parking lots and has a huge daily ridership on their trains, is not even self-supporting!

Keep up your good work.

Preserve the trees if possible Editor, Interesting article (regarding) the Lazzara’s plans, but after enjoying the Jazz on the Monon concerts for the past several years, it seems sad that the parcels of land that they are buying up will be gone for the concerts, etc.! Looking up at the gorgeous pine trees last night made me want to contact someone about them, hopefully, not being cut down!

Seems like there are enough restaurants,

Don’t regulate kids on golf carts Editor, I'm confused as to why the City Council is involved in a matter of too many kids on a golf cart. This should never have gotten to the city council or to even be considered as a law to cover all residents of Carmel. Why aren't the parents telling their kids that only four (ride) in the golf cart or lose the privilege of driving the golf cart? If it involves a particular neighbor-

Georgia still on my mind Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I’d be an excellent tour bus driver, as well.

I have no sense of direction, but the passengers have no idea where they are going, either. If lost, I could make up outrageous stories about how in this very isolated area three Catholic nuns saved the city of Savannah from the Spanish war ships by staying awake 72 straight hours to man the lighthouse. See? I told you I’d be good at this.

I couldn’t be this lazy in my present work.

The last 40 years would have been so much more pleasant without that accuracy monkey on my back.

If I had the chance now, the lure of a microphone and a captive audience moving at 45 miles per hour would be tough for me to turn down.

And here’s the best part: I could tell the same jokes every day, 50 weeks a year and no one would know.

(For the complete version, visit currentinwestfield.com)

My wife and I recently returned from Savannah, Ga. It was so serene that I began to wonder if I would have been better humor off in a career that didn’t include the nerve-wracking deadline stresses of TV and newspapers.

Walmart greeter looks like a low-stress job, but the employment contract requires being nice to people. Like I’d sign something like that?

Toll booth collector intrigues me. You meet people with no risk of establishing a real relationship. If you really want change, this is the gig for you.

How about lumberjack? You’re outdoors, and you can wear the same shirt every day. It would be fun to come home and say, “Honey, I got the axe at work today,” and not have her burst into tears.

I think I should have been a tour guide. First of all, you don’t really have to know anything, because no one will dispute it, nor remember what you say. Our guide in Savannah recently told us how Savannah was founded when the Pilgrims came over and … no, that’s not it. Actually, the Spanish missionaries arrived first … no, that doesn’t sound right.

Your guide to allergies Commentary by Gerald Mick, MD, IU Health Physicians Primary Care While our immune systems protect us from viruses and bacteria, they also can react — or overreact — to family medicine harmless materials which trigger allergic reactions. Nearly 20 percent of Americans have some type of allergy. And while seasonal allergies with symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and coughing are the most widely known allergies, many other substances, including foods, also can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Dust mites, pet dander, peanuts and seafood are other common allergens. People who are allergic to pet dander and dust can experience symptoms similar to seasonal allergies. They also may have red- or itchy-skin rashes or hives. Food allergies may cause a variety of symptoms, including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Allergies to nuts and other substances, such as insect stings, may cause the most severe and potentially life-threatening reaction — anaphylaxis — which causes a drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness and shock. Individuals with severe allergies carry

epinephrine, a medication that stops severe allergic reactions. It comes in an auto-injector for quick and easy delivery.

It’s important to remember people can be allergic to anything. Medications, latex, metals, household cleaning chemicals and perfumes and dyes are other common culprits. Severity of the allergic reaction can differ greatly from person to person. In some cases, the reaction is quite noticeable; in others, it may be so mild it’s virtually overlooked.

If you think you have an allergy, see your primary-care doctor for an initial evaluation.

Depending on the circumstances, he or she may refer you to an allergist. There are a variety of tests, including simple blood tests, to help pinpoint allergies. Working closely with your doctor, most common allergy symptoms can be relieved with treatments that include oral antihistamines or regular allergy shots.

Several guests and friends of The Center of the Performing Arts had the opportunity to attend a special VIP meet-and-greet before the concert and said it was the highlight of their evening. Etheridge released her latest album “This Is M.E.” in 2014, and fans loved listening to her sing the featured singles, “Take My Number,” “A Little Bit of Me,” and “Monster.”

Etheridge also brought down the house with her classic hits “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window.” Every time I attend a concert at the Palladium, I leave feeling pumped, and my heart is full. Etheridge touched the hearts of her fans when she sang and dedicated her new song, “Pulse,” to the victims of the Orlando tragedy. It was beautifully written, and 100 percent of all download proceeds go to help those affected by the tragedy in Orlando. Hands down, Etheridge gave a superb concert, and I left with a smile on my face thinking about how fortunate we are to have The Center for the Performing Arts working hard to bring the best worldwide entertainment to Carmel. Grab your family and friends and be sure to check out the 2016-2017 season, because Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there! For more, visit TheCenterPresents.org.

It was a VIP family affair for Palladium sponsors, from left, Teri, Jack, Michael and Ron Lenz, all of Fishers, who are fans of Melissa Etheridge and said they love reading Where’s Amy.

Kevin Byrd (Carmel), Amy Rexroth (Carmel) and Mike Kueper (Fishers) loved hanging out and rocking to the sounds of Melissa Etheridge at the Palladium.

Carmel’s Jenn Kampmeier organized Rock the Cradle and Indy Family Fest, and now she has a new brainchild – the first mobile wine truck in the state. drinks She bought the bus last winter and began the rehab process in March.

“It took a good eight weeks to do it,” the self-titled “mompreneur” said. “There’s nothing else out there like it, so we were doing everything ourselves. We got the bus down to the bare bones and built it up again.”

The Vino Mobile, or Vinny, as Kampmeier fondly refers to it, has no seats and people can’t ride in the bus. The wine truck is completely mobile with a full bar, and it is available to be rented year-round.

“We always have five wines on there,” she said, adding that riesling, chardonnay, pinot grigio, pinot noir and a cabernet or cab blend are the most popular. “Indiana is a sweet state, and we love our moscato, love our riesling, so I’m going through that like hotcakes.”

The wine is purchased from Monarch Beverages, Coastal Wine and Spirits and Republic National Distributing Company.

Her first few customers include the Westfield City Market, and she has already been booked for weddings. She also has made an appearance at some summer concerts in West Clay, Avon, Noblesville and Fishers.

Glasses of wine cost between $6 and $8, depending on the wine.

Although Vinny has no seats and customers can’t ride the bus like some of the brew buses found around Indianapolis, Kampmeier said seats are on the agenda.

“Eventually, when we get done with 2016 and sit back, franchise is ultimately where I want to go with this,” she said. “We aren’t just a seasonal wine truck because we have a portable bar. We can take a custom bar anywhere, and (Vinny) is the transport. He’s the attention-getter.”

Customers have to be more than 21 years old to enjoy beverages. To rent the Vino Mobile Bar for an event, or to learn more, visit facebook.com/vinomobilebar.

Mamma Mia gelato stand opens

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Lucio Romani is bringing an authentic touch of Italy to Carmel with the opening of his gelato stand. new biz Mamma Mia is attached to his restaurant, Ristorante Roma, 620 Range Line Rd., and the stand faces the Monon Trail. Romani’s restaurant, which opened more than two years ago, is in the Monon Square Shopping Center.

“We make the gelato in the restaurant,” said Romani, a Carmel resident who moved to the U.S. from Italy at age 27 in 1995.

Romani’s friend, Stefano Gangitano, came from Italy to help Romani start the gelato business. Gangitano learned from working in gelateria in Italy several years ago.

“He took a couple of courses to refresh his techniques in Italy,” Romani said. “If someone wants the real gelato made in Italy, this is the place. The equipment is from Italy. The chocolate and caramel are from an Italian company.

Everything but the fresh fruits and the milk is from Italy.”

Gangitano has been training Romani in how to make the gelato.

The stand opened June 16. It will be open seven days a week until early October, and

hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., or until it is too dark. Romani also is featuring the gelato at the restaurant.

“The response has been great. The customers love it,” Romani said. “The gelato is less fattening than the ice cream because in ice cream, they use a heavy cream, but the gelato uses milk, so it’s less fattening, and it gets creamier than the ice cream. All the fruitbased gelato is water based, no milk, so it is good for those that are lactose intolerant.”

The gelato is available in cups and cones at the stand with different flavors offered each day.

Developers, business owners form Red Tape Committee

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com OneZone, the combined chambers of commerce of Carmel and Fishers, announced that the orgabusiness nization has formed the Red Tape Committee to see what can be done to streamline the government approval process in Carmel.

Carmel city councilors Jeff Merhoff Worrell and Sue Finkam will collaborate with the committee members to get feedback on issues that might slow down development.

“We are trying to find better ways to do business, not just easier ways,” Worrell said.

Worrell noted that it’s a balancing act, trying to cut down inefficiencies while still maintaining transparency and time for public input.

OneZone President Mo Merhoff said there are some simple ways to make things easier.

She said there might be ways that business, the Carmel Plan Commission and the Carmel City Council work better and more quickly. She

pointed to examples where someone had to go through a process more than once for no real reason due to a miscommunication or procedural problem.

Worrell noted one example of improvement in regards to communication. He said neighbors are often notified of a public hearing using certified mail, which can be costly for developers and not always effective. Sometimes, Worrell people do not even pick up their certified mail.

“We just want Carmel to continue to be a great place to do business,” Merhoff said. “It’s always good to get people together to share ideas.”

At this time, the names of the Red Tape Committee members have not been made public. Merhoff said when the committee has completed its findings; the names will be made public and the committee will be recognized.

“It is unfair for me to reveal the names of volunteers who've chosen to give generously of their time to affect change,” Merhoff said.

Smoothie King to open in August

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Smoothie King has found a home in Carmel.

Owner Chris Sgroi said he plans to open the store at 1366 S. Range Line Rd. (next to the Mandarin House) in opening soon August. Sgroi said an exact date is too hard to determine now because of permitting.

“We’ve been looking at Carmel for awhile,” Sgroi said. “When this (spot) became available, we thought we’d give it a try and came up with pretty good terms. I didn’t think I was going to find a space that fast because you don’t know when you are looking. You have to be opportunistic in a way. The good thing about the franchise is (corporate officers) have a real estate department that helps with this.”

Sgroi opened his first Smoothie King franchise in October 2015 at 8270 E. 96th St., Fishers.

“We are surpassing one month after the next (in sales),” he said.

Sgroi, 47, said he expects things to pick up even more now that the summer has started, and said he is hoping the Carmel store will open a little quicker than Fishers, which opened approximately two months later than planned.

“We got our feet wet a little bit, and we’re

in the same county,” said Sgroi, who has a corporate retail background. “It’s a little different with the city of Carmel, but not too many obstacles.”

Sgroi said staffing will be similar to the Fishers store, where he has approximately 15 to 20 employees, mostly part-time.

Kevin Lortz, a Westfield resident, serves as general manager and will help Sgroi manage both stores.

Sgroi, who owns the franchises with his wife Madelaine, said he eventually hopes to open a third Smoothie King near where he lives on the northwest side of Indianapolis or perhaps in the west Carmel/Zionsville area.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating functional space Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create additional and more functional space with an updated look throughout the entire home.

1. A second story was added to include a master suite with sitting room, a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, laundry room and a balcony off the bedroom.

2. The kitchen received a remodel with new cabinets, countertops, lighting, hardware and appliances.

3. New windows were installed throughout.

4. Updated lighting, flooring and finishes throughout the home.

5. All roofing and siding was replaced, along with a fresh coat of paint to give the exterior an updated look.

Before Background info: This 1930s bungalow in Meridian-Kessler was a bachelor’s pad before the couple got married. The two-bedroom home was just not enough space for the newlyweds.

Before problems:

The luxury of space and privacy was lacking in this small home, especially with only one shared bathroom. Most of the home was original and very dated, with original cabinets, plaster walls and flooring.

Talking politics Commentary by Jordan Fischer Good news for those of you out there in Grammar Land: the Grammar Guy is back from his hiatus and ready to grammar guy talk politics (sort of).

Generally, holding the position of Grammar Guy in as high esteem as I do, I try to stay above the fray. But now that election season has roared upon us with all its sound and fury, even I can’t resist a few steps on the campaign trail.

Don’t worry: We’re not going to be spellchecking campaign mailers or critiquing candidates on their subject-verb agreement. We’re going deeper. So grab your copy of Aristotle’s “Rhetoric” and prepare to talk about the art of persuasion.

If ethos, pathos and logos sound like characters from the Three Musketeers … then you’re surprisingly well-read for someone who’s not familiar with the modes of persuasion.

First put to page by Aristotle in the Fourth Century B.C., the modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos and logos) are how speakers appeal to their audiences. I’ll let the man himself do the introductions: “Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. ... Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech was so spoken as to make us think him credible (Ethos). ...

Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when the speech stirs their emotions

(Pathos). ... Thirdly, persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question (Logos).”

Repackaging that for this century, ethos is an appeal to authority – specifically the speaker’s. It can come from expertise, from an elected position or just inherent goodness. The important thing is that the speaker has authority, and you should listen to him/her because of it.

Pathos is an appeal to emotion. If you’re a fan of the Simpsons, you’ll recognize pathos in Helen Lovejoy’s frequent, handwringing appeals for “somebody to please think of the children.” Won’t you?

Logos is the appeal to logic – and it’s often the least effective mode. If you’d like to understand why, consider that Airborne – the popular Vitamin C supplement – made its parent company $70 million between 2011 and 2012 – a full three years after the makers admitted in a $23 million class-action lawsuit that there was “no competent and reliable scientific evidence” to support its health claims. As of the writing of this article, a bottle of 75 Airborne gummies goes for $23.75 on Amazon.

Coming up next week: “Ethos, or: Why people should listen to me.”

Dispatch Fact checking – You’ve probably fallen for one of those stories that makes the social media rounds.

They’re usually either sappy, like the story of Daisy the dog rescuing people on 9/11, or designed to scare you into taking some kind of action. Have you seen the recurring warning about Facebook posts becoming public? Both stories are false, but people repost them anyway. Before passing on such stories, take a minute to fact check on a website like Snopes.com, TruthorFiction.com or FactCheck.org.

Along Amsterdam’s Singel Canal. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The canals of Amsterdam Commentary by Don Knebel Since 2010, Amsterdam’s canal ring has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Since the 17th century, this unique travel transportation system has allowed visitors to the Netherlands’ capital to reach what is probably the city’s most famous attraction.

In the middle of the 13th century, Dutch fishermen established a trading village along the Amstel River in northwest Holland. The village became known as “Amsterdam” after a dam protecting the area from flooding. To protect against invaders, residents built a semi-circular moat around their village, extending south from the IJ, at the time a bay. In 1585, Amsterdam expanded beyond the moat and residents began using the moat, named the “Singel Canal,” for transporting themselves and their goods. In 1613, with its population continuing to grow from international trade, the city began building three additional canals in concentric semi-circular rings around the original moat, quadrupling the area of the city.

When completed, Amsterdam’s new canals were connected to each other and to the

Singel Canal by radially extending canals, enabling efficient water travel from any part of the city to another.

Amsterdam, with a population of more than 200,000 in 1800, was among the world’s largest and most prosperous cities, attracting people from all over the world. One of its most popular destinations, especially for visiting sailors, was an area inside the Singel Canal known as “De Wallen,” featuring drinking, gambling and prostitution.

Today, Amsterdam’s 165 canals, with a combined length of approximately 65 miles, are spanned by more than 1,200 bridges, three times as many as in Venice. Approximately 2,500 houseboats are moored along the canal banks, most serving as permanent residences.

Three million visitors a year board tour boats to traverse Amsterdam’s canal network, many ending their trip near De Wallen to explore Amsterdam’s still flourishing red-light district.
