Be ready to pay $5 stormwater fee

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com

After nearly a year’s worth of discussions, the city council was expected to vote on whether to approve the creation of a new stormgovernment water utility for Carmel.

In its final incarnation, the utility would charge homeowners a fee of $4.95 per month to pay for stormwater infrastructure upgrades and repairs to prevent flooding issues. Businesses, apartment complexes, churches and nonprofits would pay an assessed monthly fee based on the amount of impervious surface on each property.

In its first year, the utility would also offer a series of incentives for improvements to homes that install runoff prevention measures such as rain barrels or swales. But act quickly, because other stormwater utilities throughout the state have seen little use of incentive programs and they are often canceled, city engineer Jeremy Kashman said.

The new stormwater utility is expected to generate between $2.9 million and $3.2 million in revenue per year, and council sponsors Luci Snyder and Kevin “Woody” Rider have been adamant that those funds be protected so that they can’t be allocated for uses other than stormwater infrastructure upgrades.

The concern was so great that council president Eric Seidensticker said he hired Carmel law firm House Reynolds & Faust to review the final version of the ordinance and resolution to ensure the protections were ironclad.

Because the proposed stormwater utility would operate with only two new employees and rely almost entirely on existing city employees, there was concern that those existing employees’ salaries could be funded with the new stormwater revenues and deplete the funds available for projects while freeing up general fund money available for other uses.

To prevent this scenario, councilors voted in a special meeting of the Utilities, Transportation and Public Safety Committee to require that the city council had to pre-approve all planned stormwater projects a year in advance and that only 20 percent of stormwater utility revenue could be used on overhead expenses.

The council had considered creating a special board to oversee the utility, but it feels with the proper protections that it can allow the Board of Public Works to manage it on a day-to-day basis.

The creation of a new stormwater utility would help to fund improvements to Carmel’s stormwater infrastructure. (Staff illustration)

Councilors did not take the idea of charging Carmel residents a stormwater fee lightly.

For the past year they have analyzed the most equitable way to charge homeowners and businesses for the runoff from property and streets while getting the most bang for the buck.

The councilors considered multiple methods to individually assess each property to make sure than any fee charged was equitable.

But the difficulty with individual property analyses is that they are labor intensive – even when using GIS techniques. And that workload only increases each time a property is modified.

City council members tasked with the decision eventually concluded that too great a share of the new revenue generated would be eaten up by administration and overhead costs which is why residential properties will pay a flat fee.

The utility’s creation is also part of the city’s efforts to keep up with EPA regulations regarding water quality.

The federal agency is seeking to clamp down on chemicals that run off from lawns and roadways and end up in nearby streams and rivers – two of the biggest concerns are E. coli bacteria and excess phosphorous from lawn treatments.

The city has been identifying impaired waterways and working on ways to improve them for years, former city engineer Mike McBride said at the time the new utility was proposed.

The problem stems from the unfunded nature of the EPA’s mandate – something a stormwater user fee could help remedy, McBride said.

He also noted that Indianapolis, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield have all created similar utilities in recent years to address this very issue.

Updated law will alter when prosecutors pursue teen ‘sexting’ cases

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Sexting - the practice of sharing sexually explicit images between smart phones - makes parents shudder and news analysis law enforcement officials and lawyers cringe. It certainly does not make for pleasant dinner conversation.

The practice is not new and tends to be prevalent among young people. Numerous posters hanging on the walls in Carmel High School attest to this as they offer tips for people who feel pressured to send sexts.

But still, questions abound.

Who is responsible for preventing the practice? Who is responsible for preventing the unwanted sharing of images? Does sharing constitute invasion of privacy? Bullying? Child pornography? Could you go to jail for engaging in sexting or sharing the explicit images? And should police be involved or is this a matter for parents and educators?

Because of the confusion surrounding the practice sprung from new technology, Indiana lawmakers sought to update state laws that deal with child pornography in a large-scale update of the state’s criminal code – HEA 1006, which went into effect July 1.

So what does that mean for students?

Now, if a student is caught with sexually explicit images on a smart phone while at a school,

Sexting poses a challenge for school employees, police and parents. (Staff photo illustration)

teachers and administrators are likely to immediately involve the school resource officer to assess the situation.

Current in Carmel filed a public records request with Carmel schools to determine whether the school district has a policy to handle incidents of sexting. It does not.

And because most teachers are worried about their own liability and consider themselves “mandatory reporters,” police are often contacted to sort out legal issues.

Whereas all incidents of people younger than 18 sexting previously would have been classified as possession or distribution of child pornography under Indiana Code 35-42-4-4, the law that

P

r i v a t e

went into effect on July 1 offers a defense so as not to criminalize every incident of teenage sexting.

‘Not a good idea’ The updated law characterizes any image of a person under the age of 18 that involves “sexual conduct” as child pornography. Because “sexual conduct” is defined in the law based on an intention to arouse sexual desires in a viewer, almost any form of nudity involving breasts or genitals could potentially meet the standard.

But it does offer a defense for teenagers if they meet all of the following criteria: • A cell phone or social networking website was used to possess, produce or disseminate the image.

• The defendant is four years younger or older than the person in the image.

• The relationship between the defendant and the person in the image is an “ongoing personal relationship.”

• The crime was committed by a person younger than 22.

• The person receiving the image or the person depicted in the image knowingly participated in the sexting.

Criminal defense attorney Ben Knowles said, “You don’t see police going after possession among teens because it’s politically unpalatable.”

State Sen. Luke Kenley agreed. His district includes part of northeast Carmel, and he said that prosecutors exercise discretion and that he

B

was unaware of any instance where sexting led to a prosecution under child pornography laws.

And under the updated law, teenagers only still have a legal defense. If found with sexting images, they could likely still be arrested and jailed for a day. They wouldn’t have a chance to provide a defense until a pre-trial hearing.

‘Everyone else is doing it’ “What 16-year-old is going to read a statute?”

Knowles said. “They made this a Level 5 felony.

It’s not a misdemeanor. I would be worried if I had an image on my phone.”

Knowles recently sat down with Current in Carmel in attempt to answer some basic questions about sexting, but readers should note that none of his responses constitutes legal advice.

Knowles said that people need to realize that the current law does not take intentions or motivations into account, and it penalizes any form of dissemination. “’Everyone else is doing it,’ is not a legal defense,” he said.

And dissemination could mean downloading an image, sending an image, forwarding a text or something as simple as showing another person the screen of your phone.

Private fireworks displays are raising some hackles in Carmel. (Staff photo by Niko Anas)

Revamped noise ordinance could limit home fireworks displays

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Is it possible that we have taken it too far this time of year with the fireworks?

That seems to be the government consensus among members of the city council who have received numerous complaints in recent weeks that late-night fireworks are preventing people from going to sleep.

In fact, councilor Sue Finkam posted a poll about the matter and had more than 540 responses in the first day alone.

About one third of people participating in the poll said the council should: Allow fewer days – hours are ok, but we allow fireworks on too many days.

About another one third of people participating in the poll said: Hours and days both need adjusted – there are just too many fireworks.

“Over half of those respondents want to see some type of change,” Finkam said. “Many are very frustrated by late night noise night after night, especially those with small children, pets or those who based on age or shift work go to bed early.”

Currently, city rules allow for fireworks five days before and five days after July 4 until 10 p.m., and until midnight on the Fourth of July.

But in a recent meeting of the council’s utilities, transportation and public safety committee, the council sought to restrict the days fireworks are allowed within an updated version of the city’s noise ordinance. They could soon be limited to July 3, 4 and 5 if the updated noise ordinance is passed by the council at its next meeting on July 21.

“I think that type of restriction for Carmel residents would be very appealing, however, we are unfortunately very limited as to how we can modify our ordinance based on laws already on the books by the State of Indiana,” Finkam said.

She said that city attorney Doug Haney said

that state law forbids the city from limiting the use of consumer fireworks: • Between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on June 29 and 30.

• Between 5 p.m. and two hours after sunset on July 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

• Between the hours of 10 a.m. and midnight on July 4.

• Between the hours of 10 a.m. on Dec. 31 and 1 a.m. on Jan. 1.

Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider also said that the city needed to do a better job with educating the public about the rules, noting that any ordinance on fireworks would be difficult for police to enforce.

“Residents can also work with their HOAs to inform residents of the rules, as some may be unaware that the state and city have restrictions,” Finkam said.

Other noise ordinance changes The other contentious changes within the updated noise ordinance surround the regulation of construction noise and the backup beepers on large trucks.

The current noise ordinance allows construction noise during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

It had been proposed to shorten that window to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but during the committee meeting councilors decided to compromise and limit construction noise hours to 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Carmel Chamber of Commerce President Mo Merhoff said the compromise would like be amenable to the business community and local builders.

Rider said, “If it becomes a problem, we’ll revisit it.”

He noted that for construction noise complaints outside the new hours, residents should call police. But if residents had a problem during those hours, they need to call their city council representative.

Councilor Ron Carter also suggested installing the MyCarmel app on a smartphone and using it to file complaints when necessary.

Carmel runner races past fears

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com Go face your fear. Do something powerful.

Those are the words that empowered Carmel Road Racing Group Media Director and Coach Lindsey Hein as she faced one of the most critical health-related decihuman spirit sions of her life.

She found courage and calming brought on from the rush of endorphins through her natural drug of choice – the sport of running.

“There is nothing that is going to make my day better than getting my run in,” Hein said. “I’ve always struggled with anxiety and fear. Fear for health reasons and other things, too. I’ve always been an anxious flyer, running has always given me an outlet for those kind of things. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t run. I would definitely probably be on an antidepressant, I’m sure.”

Hein, a marathon runner and running enthusiast for the past fifteen years, recently made headlines by winning a cover model contest for Women’s Running magazine with her story on “finding your strong.”

Hein used her half-Ironman training sessions to give her the courage to be tested for the BRCA2 gene mutation attributed with causing breast and ovarian cancer that runs in her family. The test came back positive, putting Hein at an 86 percent chance of getting breast cancer in her lifetime.

Suffering from anxiety most of her life, this was one worry Hein decided to eliminate - so she had a prophylactic double mastectomy in October 2013 and reconstructive surgery in January.

This spring she ran her second Boston Marathon.

“I’ve just had a lot of support here,” Hein said on winning the contest with the help of local voters. “It’s really neat, too, because Indianapolis is known for not being a very fit city, and we always make the list of top worst cities to live in for health. So it’s kind of cool that someone in Indianapolis won a contest like this. I’m really proud to represent Indianapolis because I love the city.”

Hein’s enthusiasm for running is infectious.

On her blog, outforaruntraining.com, Hein can-

didly discusses her struggle with anxiety, her preventative surgery and the healing powers of running.

“Once you’ve experienced what the finish line feels like or what it feels like when you are done with a good hard run, that’s what you have to focus on when it’s hard to get your shoes on and get out the door. Focus on what the end result is going to be and how it’s going to make you feel and how much better you will be feeling.”

She also recognizes that running may not be for everyone.

“I need to get my sweat on to feel better. Running is not for everybody. I encourage people to find what their niche is and make it happen,” she said. “Whatever makes you feel better – maybe it’s painting - go do that.”

Hein is Head Coach for the Carmel Road Racing Group Women’s Fall Training Program, a 15-week series of marathon training sessions for women of all ages and running or walking abilities beginning July 21.

I continued my physical therapy while in the apartments until I was able to walk again.

Most recently I stayed there because my family was going on vacation for over two weeks and since I am unable to travel that far, I chose to stay at Summer Trace.

George DeVries came to Carmel with the simple idea of opening up a new operations center for his company, American government Specialty Health.

Both the CEO and his sons attended Culver Academies and so he was familiar with Indiana and thought it would be a great addition for his San Diego-based company which projects more than $250 million in revenue in 2014.

But when DeVries met with Carmel officials, Mayor Jim Brainard had other plans.

“I asked him, ‘What would it take to get you to move your entire headquarters?’” Brainard told the Current in Carmel. “He tells me, ‘You’re not going to be able to do that. I’ve got my senior executive staff. I’d need seventy percent of them to move.’ They are all California born-and-bred people. It’s a nice place. Have you ever seen the weather there? But now they have more of their employees applying to move to Carmel then they have jobs available here.”

Brainard said 2013 was his “best year yet” since he’s been in office for attracting new businesses to move to Carmel. In addition to American Specialty Health and its 500 employees, Carmel convinced GEICO to open a new service center which will employ up to 1,200 people.

How to attract new businesses to relocate to Carmel is frequent conversation topic in City Hall.

Brainard has invested heavily in consultant and economic development staff to help spread the word about Carmel in national publications.

Spreading the word On July 1, The New York Times printed an article titled: “Mayor Drives the Remaking of an Indiana City; Redevelopment of Carmel, Ind., Has a European Flair.”

It was a glowing piece and Brainard was ecstatic, but such articles come at a cost.

The city hired consultant Rob DeRocker at a contract of $125,000 a year, and he’s credited with getting the Times article published, along with a front page story in USA Today in 2012.

In addition, the city hired former Indianapolis Star reporter Dan McFeely to assist with economic development and social media at an annual contract up to $99,000 a year.

In Brainard’s mind, this is a great use of money.

“That’s probably worth a million dollars of paid advertising,” he said. “Same thing with our frontpage story in the USA Today. It’s worth millions.”

The Hamilton County Economic Development Corporation, a local nonprofit, also assists Carmel in promoting the area. Executive Director Tim Monger said it recently conducted a survey of 124 executives and 30 site consultants and discovered only 9 percent said they were even somewhat familiar with Carmel.

City Councilor Rick Sharp, who has hinted at his own run for mayor, questioned spending so

much on marketing consultants.

“If I were in charge, I would like to bring in someone with real economic development credentials on a local level,” he said.

City Councilor Luci Snyder has often opposed the consultant contract given to McFeely. She admits that her objections are personal because she had unpleasant interactions with him when he was a reporter at the Indianapolis Star. She claimed that he unethically slanted articles Snyder spoke about McFeely at open meetings, saying she didn’t feel he had the necessary background.

“Is Dan McFeely an economic development person?” she said. “I’m not sure he is.”

City Spokeswoman Nancy Heck has repeatedly defended McFeely’s hiring, saying his efforts in social media are a key part of the city’s strategy.

“The days of buying a black-and-white, twoby-four ad in the local paper have long past,” she said.

Finding a new home When you ask corporate executives, they never name only one factor they consider when choosing a site. They mention schools, taxes, amenities and cost of living. DeVries said he was surprised by how affordable homes were in Carmel.

“Carmel itself as far as a city that our employees can live in offers a very high quality of life,” he said. “Cost of housing is far lower here than in San Diego.”

And for those executives who say they prefer an urban environment instead of a quiet suburb, Monger has a sales pitch.

“I would argue we are an urban area,” he said.

“If you combine Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield – our four contiguous areas – then you have a city that’s three thousand people larger than the city of Fort Wayne, the second largest city in the state. And we’re denser than the city of Fort Wayne.”

DeVries has already picked a home in the Brookshire neighborhood and said his employees can’t wait to relocate.

“We’re counting the days, we’re so excited,” he said. “Not only do we think it’ll be a great move for our company, but we think we can make a real positive impact in the area.”

Opposition to Monon Lake gains traction

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com It appears that the proposed Monon Lake subdivision has some major hurdles.

After hearing from andevelopment gry Home Place residents for months, the Carmel Plan Commission gave an unfavorable recommendation to the controversial planned unit development located north of I-465 near and west of the Monon Trail.

The proposal now moves on to the Carmel City Council - which could still make changes and approve the project when it comes before the council in August. But the plan commission’s rejection creates a tougher path.

“We’re very happy that the plan commission was on our side,” said Jeremy Abbott, who attended the meeting and is a part of the Save Monon Woods Facebook group. “Now, we just hope the City Council sees it the same way.”

M/I Homes sought to build 43 single-family homes on 33.95 acres, but neighboring residents organized to oppose the development because they felt it was too dense and would create traffic problems in the area. Some didn’t like the idea of tearing down trees in the wooded area to build these “empty nester” homes near the southern border of Carmel.

The area is already zoned for 28 homes, but the developer hoped to build more than that. M/I Homes proposed a density of 1.27 units per acre,

less than the suggested density of 2.9 units per acre. The homes were expected to cost from $325,000 to $400,000. Surrounding neighborhoods have a density of 2.3 units per acre.

Furious neighbors packed the City Hall chambers with some standing in the wings wearing bright orange stickers that proclaimed “No Monon PUD.” The plan commission’s subdivision committee gave the project a unanimous unfavorable recommendation, but the city’s planning department gave it a positive report.

The developer has defended its project, saying that buyers want smaller lots nowadays and that planned green space and tree bar-

riers should provide a buffer between other neighborhoods.

Jim Shaniver, of the law firm Nelson & Frankenberger which represented M/I Homes at the meeting, said he disagrees with the characterization that there is a “tough road ahead” and believes everything will get worked out at the council level.

“This is the normal process for a rezone,” he said after the meeting. “We’ll move forward to the council.”

After several meetings with the plan commission, the developer agreed to widen 101st Street to help ease traffic concerns. Some wanted more streets to ease congestion, but other commissioners said it would be best to cut off traffic flowing into adjacent neighborhoods, such as Marwood Drive.

There was talk of involving Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation in developing a portion of the property. M/I Homes agreed to donate area east of the lake to the parks department and construct a “viewing area” and sub-trails off of the Monon to increase connectivity.

Commissioner Joshua Kirsh, who is also on the Parks Board, said he would prefer to protect the area’s environmental features and hinted he would prefer that Carmel Clay Parks could have time to work a deal to buy the land.

“I hate to see something critical to our environment disappear because we didn’t take the time to look at it,” Kirsh said.

Carmel schools boost staff pay

“I wanted to be able to share a milkshake with my granddaughter again.”

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

After my stroke, I had medical issues that made it impossible for me to go directly home. The people at the hospital told me about rehab and therapy available at Westminster Village North. My daughter visited the newly renovated health center and decided it was the place for me.

My private Medicare suite was spacious and comfortable; and the staff really cared about my needs.

My experience with rehabilitation therapy was superb.

The equipment was brand new and the therapists were well-trained and helpful. I was eager to go home, but will always appreciate Westminster Village North.

Now Sophie and I can enjoy that milkshake at my home again.

Tilted Kilt plans to open in fall

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com It’s no secret that the businesses across 116th Street from Merchant’s Square have been having a rough go of it lately. The vacoming soon cant Borders, Macaroni Grill and Zhu Lan Sushi Prime Rib Seafood Buffet testify to that.

But another restaurant hopes to open in that void with a time-tested strategy – sex sells.

Gaelic-themed Tilted Kilt plans to open a new restaurant in the former Zhu Lan space next to Forum Bank.

The restaurant chain is famous for its young waitresses that flaunt plenty of cleavage, bare stomachs and short red kilts.

Tilted Kilt has operated a successful restaurant in downtown Indianapolis for years, but Carmel’s distance is perfect for the local franchise operator Paul DiBenedetto to open two new locations without threatening the downtown restaurant’s business.

A second restaurant is planned for Michigan Road and I-465.

“We thought Carmel had a great demographic,” DiBenedetto said.

Construction will begin this month at the 116th Street location and DiBenedetto said he expects the restaurant to be open sometime in October or November.

Tilted Kilt will begin casting waitresses on-site in September, and anyone interested is encouraged to

look for details on its Facebook page.

The restaurant will eventually feature a linear bar with 36 beers on tap. DiBenedetto said the restaurant will have a heavy focus on craft beer, with future parties and tasting events centered around them.

Tilted Kilt specializes in typical pub fare, and it’s known for its classic “big arse” burger, flatbread pizzas and Gaelic chicken.

“The food appeals to a lot of tastes,” DiBenedetto said. “Our quality is fantastic.”

He also said that the restaurant likes to partner with local charities, and that any that are interested should contact the restaurant.

Carmel taps new art advisor

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com One of the top goals in Carmel’s arts community is to attract more art galleries to move to the area.

Art And when Evan Lurie was relieved of his consultant duties with the city in March 2013 – following a headline-making arrest – some artists have said there was a hole to fill in the arts community.

Now the city has approved a $35,000 per year contract for local artist Jerry Points to serve as a new arts advisor.

For the past four years, Points has been the owner of Eye on Art Gallery, located at 150 W. Main St. in downtown Carmel. He’s also president of the Gallery Association and he played a key role in attracting the Hoosier Salon to relocate from Broad Ripple to Carmel.

“After the year of negotiation I had with the Hoosier Salon, I think the city officials realized that they missed some of the things that Evan Lurie was supposed to have been doing in his former position,” he said.

This current incarnation of the position will focus on being a spokesman and a point person for any artists or galleries in the area or those interested in relocating. He also would help choose art for outdoor statues and sculptures and will give advice on marketing and curating opportunities.

“It is similar to what Evan was doing in that Jerry will look for opportunities for galleries to join the district. He was instrumental in getting the Hoosier Salon in Carmel,” city spokeswoman Nancy Heck said. “His skill set and contacts in the business make him perfectly suited for this position. It is a little different than Evan’s contract in that Evan was assisting more with gallery attraction and not so much with current gallery retention and marketing opportunities.”

Prior to opening his gallery, Points was president of the Stutz Gallery Association. He also has 25 years of experience in marketing and advertising, including 12 years with Eli Lilly.

Points will help potential gallery owners find appropriate space and help them analyze their costs and business plan so they can have financial success. He said there are plenty of galleries

filled with pretty pieces that attract visitors, but sales still are low. He said that needs to change.

When asked about how his role would differ from his predecessor, Points had a few criticisms of Lurie. He said when he moved to the area, he didn’t receive much guidance.

“To tell you the truth, I hope to do a lot more,” Points said.

Points also noted that his contract is a fraction of Lurie’s, which was not renewed for $60,000.

Lurie said he was proud of the work he did and he hopes people remember how far the Arts & Design District has come.

“To be fair, it’s a completely different situation,” he said. “When I started there was nothing there. None of these galleries existed. So it was a lot harder to attract people to an area that wasn’t there yet. It should be a lot easier for Jerry since it’s now one of the hottest neighborhoods in town.”

City Councilor Rick Sharp said he supports spending on the arts, but questions whether the city sometimes, “just hands out contracts.”

“I didn’t know there was a need for this position,” he said. “But I’ll reserve my opinion because I do hope that it’s worthwhile. Maybe it’s a great investment for the city.”

4CDC leases space for gallery

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com One of Carmel’s newest art galleries could be looking for a new home – but it’s likely a new home within the Arts & Design District.

Art The Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation decided to add the former Mary & Martha’s retail location on Main Street in downtown Carmel to its leased holdings during its meeting July 17.

4CDC board president Ron Carter said the intention was to lease the space to an art gallery that currently resides in the Arts & Design District.

And the likely target is Carmel artist Catherine Bauder’s Inspire Gallery.

“I would love that space,” Bauder said. “I hope for them to call me.”

Inspire Gallery is currently the only art gallery on Main Street that doesn’t receive a subsidy from the 4CDC, which doles out less than $4,000 in such subsidies per month.

Bauder said the new location would help her get more foot traffic and give her more opportunities to sell a piece of artwork. She said she gets about 50 visitors on the nights when the city hosts its monthly Gallery Walk event at her current location next to Carmel Couture Boutique.

New city arts advisor Jerry Points agreed, saying that his Eye on Art Gallery averages about 300 visitors during the Gallery Walk events.

Catherine Bauder’s Inspire Gallery could be the new tenant for the former Mary & Martha’s retail location on Main Street in downtown Carmel. (File photo)

He largely attributed that to the proximity to the Monon Trail and area restaurants in the Sophia Square building.

“It would give her a little bigger space and more focus on the gallery,” he said.

Bauder opened Inspire Gallery in February. She is a portrait artist who has branched out into landscapes as well, and her work is a combination of paintings and drawings.

But her gallery currently also features the work of painter Randall Scott Harden, and plans to exhibit the works of Columbus, Ind., artist Susie Gregory in the coming weeks.

She said she currently has a month-to-month lease and could move quickly if needed.

“It’s just a better location to get some traffic,” Bauder said.

CarmelFest a community effort Commentary by Jeff Worrell

Now that the smoke has cleared from bombs bursting in mid-air and the red, white and blue bunting is propVolunteerism erly stowed, I thought I might contribute a few words to recognize the folks behind the popular summertime July 4th festival. #CarmelFest It takes literally hundreds of people to stage the ultimate patriotic experience. However, this column is aimed at those who receive little recognition for what they do. #modesty First mention is the Rotary Club of Carmel.

It is the members of this longtime Carmel civic organization who - decided it was within their mission some 13 years ago to accept the challenge and provide a public exhibition celebrating our country’s founding. #endpolionow Following closely in the Rotary footsteps is the Carmel Lions Club. For as long as anyone can remember, the Lions arrive early on parade day and are challenged with 110 jumbled parade entries which must be unscrambled and organized into the parade we love. #Lionssaveeyesight The businesses and neighbors surrounding the grounds of CarmelFest put up with inconvenience and disruption to their daily routine. They do so without complaint. One notable adjacent property is owned by the Schenkel Family and is annually commandeered as part of Kidzone.

Never once have the Schenkel’s asked for any-

thing in return but do so just to support their community. #goodexample The men and women of the Carmel Street Department, assisting with the cleanup at 2 a.m. on the morning of July 4. #Superdedicated Ila Badger is the silent strength behind the celebrated Spark Button peddler. Usually making change for a $20 bill and providing logistical and moral support for her famous husband, always with a smile and positive attitude. #cherish You are amazing, brilliant, sweaty and fun.

The public can come to master classes for the young singers in the Great American Songbook Competition

By Jay Harvey • news@currentincarmel.com Music professionals know that encouragement of the next generation requires a healthy dose of realism.

So, grounding in the fundamentals will Cover story be linked to instilling insight and positive attitudes as four mentor-judges work with 12 young singers — two from each U.S. region — chosen as finalists in the 2014 Great American Songbook High School Vocal Academy and Competition.

“If they pursue a life in music, it is going to be a very challenging road for them,” said veteran judge Sylvia McNair in a phone interview.

McNair, a soprano and senior lecturer in voice on the Jacobs School of Music faculty at Indiana University, has been a colleague McNair of director Michael Feinstein since 2010, the competition’s second year.

“And the music business is crumbling all around us,” she said. “Anything they can take from what we have to give to help their journey be a little less arduous is good.”

McNair will work with Feinstein and menCherry tor/jury newcomers Marc Cherry and Cheryl Bentyne. Cherry is a Hollywood producer who will contribute to the finalists’ store of knowledge by emphasizing auditioning skills. Other clinicians signed up for the academy leading to the finals include Catherine Walker Adams and Naz Edwards of the University of Michigan. And Rob and Brinka Bentyne Lowe of Casting New Lives will conduct a

workshop on the business end of an entertainment career.

‘A desire to learn’ Bentyne, the soprano voice of the Manhattan Transfer, said she heard about the competition several years ago and asked Chris Lewis, director of programs for the Great American Songbook Foundation, how she could get involved. She has done workshops and master classes with young singers in recent years, she said, sometimes with her three colleagues in the durable hit vocal ensemble.

“I prefer working with high-school kids,” she said by phone from Los Angeles. “They are so open. College kids think they have it all figured out.”

Both Bentyne and McNair concede that communicating to talented teens usable knowledge about the style and meaning of 50- to 100-year-old songs is a challenge.

“We’re aware that participants come to this event from many different backgrounds,” Feinstein concurred, “having done musical theater, or jazz, or like me listening to classic vocalists. There are several different roads that they have taken.”

Feinstein, an Ohioan whose roots lie in piano-bar entertainment accompanying himself as a teenage singer, insists that “our job is not to get in the way.”

“Everyone (among the finalists) has to study a different thing,” he said. “They are there because they show a desire to learn more and expand.”

‘Healthy singing’ The special qualities of the finalists often don’t emerge until the night of the competition itself, Feinstein said. A thoroughly prepared singer might come across to the judges as a little too set in his or her ways.

“From the audience’s perspective,” Feinstein explained, “someone might seem more polished than this other person, but they might not have the right instincts.”

As Bentyne puts it about the tradition that the competition hopes to extend: “The singers that made it sound the simplest and the easiest are the best singers — Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra. Tell the story and tell it with truth, and with a hopefully good technique. You can’t get up there and start emoting.”

Michael Feinstein will be hostin Palladium. (Submitted photo)

McNair said the goal of her w make sure their “heart is open.” exercises and ear training, she (not open to the public) “is going singing” than interpretation and She will have her class micro upon vocal quality.

Bentyne said she intends to technique to help “the intention “I have them talk the song, ra said.

There’s lots of room in this repertoire for new artistry to make itself felt, which bodes well for the long term.

“In Pasadena,” Bentyne told me, “I taught a workshop called ‘American Song’ and I told them the reason this music works is it’s so pliable. The lyrics are perfect — you don’t have to search for anything that isn’t there. You can turn it into something else rhythmically or melodically and it still holds up.

It’s just the best music written.”

The winner of the competition will get $3,000 and at least one chance to share the stage with Feinstein. The multiple Grammy nominee’s new nightclub will open in New York in the spring, and there is also a Feinstein’s at the Nikko Hotel in San Francisco.

Instead of second- and third-place awards, the 2014 competition will honor two other finalists with the Songbook Inspiration Award and the Songbook Celebration Award, worth $1,000 each.

“No one liked it coming down to first, second and third place,” said Lewis, and the new honors will recognize the various skills and training that finalists bring to the repertoire — as well as the artistry they are all being encouraged to develop and share with the world.

That draws attention to a bad habit like taking a breath that interrupts a phrase: “I work a lot on that. ‘Would you say a sentence that way?’ I ask them. Of course, if it makes sense emotionally, go ahead and do it.”

‘Best music written’ In his own work, Feinstein gets a strong sense that the old songs he specializes in will continue to endure when interpreted with insight and personality.

“Young people will need to discover and hear this music,” he said. “When they discover it, they’ll stick with it. The big thing is to be led to it.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Back to school for this ‘agent’

This is who’s protecting our “friendly skies” these days … with your tax dollars. (Don’t laugh, because this really happened.) Chris Stirewalt of Fox News’ digital report told us last week that Justin Gray, the Washington correspondent for Central Florida’s WSTV, had his District of Columbia-issued driver’s license in hand, while going through security at the Orlando, Fla., airport. But when a Transportation Safety Administration agent (term used loosely there) looked at his driver’s license, he vowed to Gray the license was not legal. Gray said it was his lawful, current documentation from the D.C. government, but the agent said he didn’t know the license. After a brief discussion, Gray said he grasped that the agent didn’t know what the District of Columbia was. After much discussion, Gray was finally able to go through security. Soon after the discrepancy, a TSA spokesman contacted Gray to confirm the District of Columbia’s license is an acceptable form of ID (it was an ah-ha moment, apparently) and that all the TSA agents in Orlando will be shown a copy of the D.C. driver’s license. Of course they will.

And it probably will be done in a seminar with continental breakfast and a highly paid driver’s license expert as the instructor.

••• And speaking of Washington, our illustrious president, Barack Obama is viewed thusly in recent polling, according to Real Clear Politics: 41.3 percent approve of the job he’s doing, and 26 percent believe the nation is headed in the correct direction. Draw your own conclusion there, and then think about this: A generic congressional ballot had Democrats with a 41.4-40.2 edge over Republicans. As we’ve said, Republicans represent the best example of a party able to extricate defeat from the jaws of victory. The long-running comedy show re-launches on Election Day, Nov. 4.

Pounding the table Commentary by Terry Anker Even as the days became warmer with time marching from spring to summer, the passage also marked the end of my service as the Dean for the Hamilton County Leadership Academy (HCLA) Class of 2014. Certainly, the experience met all anticipation – and then some. Expectedly, the emerging community influencers taught me as much or more that I might have shared with them. And, friendships emerged that will long outlive our single year’s work.

Across the span of months that constituted our given mission, we came to understand that leadership, especially as it relates to community building and sustaining, is as much or more an exercise in connecting as it is any of a myriad of important tactical activities. Leaders cannot be all things to all people, but the most effective communities are those wherein the chief leaders learn to rely upon the strength of network that its citizenry has amassed. We build relationships for our own joy, but even more so that we can rely on each other

when needed. Perhaps it is so that we can join those in need with those best able to assist.

Leadership is not pounding the table; it is identifying the gaps and serving to fill them. The best among us has an innate desire to help and is likewise filled with a sense of authentic need.

Quiet service with an eye to avoid the debilitating dependency precipitated by our own unmeasured generosity ensures the dignity of those we set out to help and remembers the virtue of dogged personal responsibility and the sublime reward of individual freedom.

HCLA promises its own that they will learn, connect, and lead. It delivers. But people can also come to experience, interact, and serve. Can’t we each choose to live in our communities with this as our motto? And wouldn’t we be better for it?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson

As a rule, I hate spa massages. I know that sentiment separates me from about 99 percent of the world’s population, but I humor simply can never relax enough to enjoy a stranger’s man-hands rubbing on my nearly-naked body. Call me modest, call me insecure, and definitely call me cheap, because I also can’t get past the expense. A hundred bucks plus tip for 60 minutes of uncomfortable, awkward moments with scented oil and new-age music? I could have my Lab and 10-yearold run a relay on back for free in less time and probably to the same effect.

Having said all that, however, I seem to perpetually have sore muscles. Time spent hunched at the computer, teaching a 15-year-old how to drive, and training for a stupid triathlon has my whole body constantly under stress. So I thought I’d give this new place, Feet Retreat, a try. As their name suggests, they specialize in a one-hour foot massage for just $25, which frankly sounded too good to be true. My husband Doo, who’d gladly defer a kid’s college tuition to employ a personal masseuse (preferably a Brit named Carson who could also serve tea; we love Downton Abby!) decided to tag along.

We walked in without an appointment and were immediately ushered through a beaded curtain into a low-lit, whisper-inducing room with five cushioning-looking “beds.” After lying down, fully clothed, my masseuse placed my feet in water just hot-enough to make me cringe for one whole second before succumbing to total relaxation. That and the Kenny G tunes had me totally rethinking this whole spa thing.

And then, to my surprise and delight, my gal began a full-body massage, over my clothes, starting with my face and neck, then moving down to my arms and shoulders, and finishing with my legs and back. The main event was of course my feet, which was heavenly, and I only had to suppress the giggles three times, once when she was working on my toes, and twice when I heard Doo getting smacked around. (I think they use reflexology and/or acupressure, but parts of it feels and sounds a little like a beat-down. In a good way, of course!)

I never felt awkward, I never felt self-conscious, and I didn’t break the bank, even with a nice tip. How’s that for The Greatest Find of the Year? Yes, Feet Retreat is located in a strip mall between a nail salon and a Subway, and no, we weren’t treated to cucumber water in crystal stemware, but we both received wonderful, professional massages at an unbelievable price. And I got to keep my clothes on!

Peace out.

The term ‘Carmel hater’ is a trap Commentary by Pete Smith

This will be my final edition as managing editor of Current in Carmel, and I have to say the past year has been a rewarding opinion experience.

But some people don’t share that sentiment. When city councilor Ron Carter heard that I was leaving, he was happy because he thinks I’m a “Carmel hater.”

I can’t say I am surprised. I have met many people in this city who had that impression of me before ever having my acquaintance simply because that is how some people in city hall have decided to brand me.

But I have to admit it stung coming from Carter, a devoted public servant who I had come to like and respect.

And I have to admit that covering city hall was not the most enjoyable experience. But looking back I would have to say that the story I wrote at this newspaper that I am most proud of is one that almost none of you have read.

(I was the editor, after all, and I saw the web stats.)

It was a story chronicling the day the Carmel High School football team played for the state championship last year. You can read it here: www.currentincarmel. com/a-day-in-the-life-of-carmels-football-team.

It focused on the team rallying around its running back, Shakir Paschall – known to his teammates as just Shak, whose father had died two

weeks prior.

Shak is one of the best parts of Carmel. He’ll be a senior this year and his hard work might just earn him a college scholarship and his team another stellar season.

His story impressed me because throughout the hardships he and his family have faced in past year, he has stayed in school and stayed focused on his goals. It’s something I was unable to do when my own father died unexpectedly when I was in high school. I know how hard it is to accomplish what he has done.

Recently I came across his Twitter page unexpectedly when I was searching for something else – I noticed it because he uses a photo I took of him for his profile image.

Just like Carter, Shak doesn’t know me. But I am happy to know that I was able to contribute to his life, no matter how insignificant the way.

I appreciate everyone who took the time to talk to me and who allowed me to share their stories.

I know the defensive place from which the term “Carmel hater” springs. But don’t give in to using it – you will only be closing your eyes to the best parts of Carmel. And in case you didn’t know, I’m not talking about its buildings or its politicians.

READERS’ VIEWS Serving Carmel was truly an honor Editor, My two-year term as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Center for the Performing Arts ended June 30. During the July board meeting, I was thanked for serving as Board Vice Chair, Interim CEO/President, Board Chair and Encore Gala Chair and for my financial contributions to the Center and presented with a beautiful framed painting of the Palladium. My response was that I am the one who should be thankful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful organization, both personally and financially. It was

indeed a labor of love to work on behalf of an organization whose mission I believe in and support. While it was not always fun, it was always satisfying and rewarding, for I believe that any success or happiness we achieve in this life is only a byproduct of the service we render to others. Thanks to the citizens of Carmel, the mayor, the city council, and the center’s board and staff for the gift of the opportunity to serve. I am also thankful for the friends that I made during these past four years.

WHY LIFE INSURANCE? Because you love them.

Rebuttal of mayor’s 4CDC arguments Editor, We respectfully suggest that the media coverage of the public request for transparency from the 4CDC has lost the core point. Carmel passed ordinance D-2108-12 requiring that any group receiving public municipal funds comply with the Access to Public Records Act. The citizen requests made on June 2, June 16 and July 7 simply and truthfully comply with the ordinance that the city council and mayor approved unanimously. Citizens are respectfully requesting that the clear promise contained in ordinance D-2108-

12 be fulfilled by the same people who passed it.

Ron Carter, a city council member and president of the 4CDC board, voted in favor of the ordinance. Mayor Jim Brainard signed the ordinance into law. If either of these men had complaints, they had the opportunity to voice those complaints, vote against it or refuse to sign it. The mayor promised full disclosure to Carmel, but he now denies his promise. So, we ask again: Mayor, what are you doing with our money?

Original cast member helps stage ‘Footloose’

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will stage performances of the classic musical “Footloose” July 24 through July 27, utilizing theatre the wisdom and instruction of one of the original “Footloose” performers.

Catherine Cox, who performed as Ethel McCormack in the original 1998 “Footloose” stage production, traveled to Carmel to lead a workshop for the young actors in the musical.

“She’s very down-to-earth,” said Samantha Russell, who plays Rusty. “It was really cool getting to talk to someone who’s been through all the things that some of us can only dream of.”

The actors were also treated to an audition workshop with Cox, in which they received feedback after singing some of the songs Cox originally performed. Cox also critiqued interpretations of individual characters in the show.

“You could pick from being annoyed with a character or upset with a character,” Joshua Brunsting said. “It gives you a different way to interpret your character. It’s allowed us to really develop, which is huge to any show.”

The 48-member cast of Civic Theatre’s Young Adult Program is comprised of students from 17 different high schools from central Indiana, as far as Rossville and Mount Vernon. Students range in age from 14 to 18 years old.

“It’s kind of a comprehensive program in that it has workshop and dance,” said Ron Morgan, director and choreographer of the production.

“What I think attracts them is this facility, and there’s really beautiful dance studios and an education department. We also give them the tools like the music workshops, the drama workshops, the dance workshops.”

Morgan has previously worked on Broadway, performing in the original cast of “Starlight Express” and “Meet Me in St. Louis.” He currently works as director and owner of the Performer’s Edge Dance Theatre in Carmel.

Some actors also involve themselves in community outreach programs, and eight of the “Footloose” actors recently traveled to the Stratford retirement community to sing Broadway songs for residents.

“Each year we try to do a community outreach program,” Morgan said. And a preview performance will also be conducted for certain community members who might have difficulty affording tickets.

Variety plays an important role in attracting young actors and theatre attendees, according to Morgan.

“Number one thing is the students, to attract them to the show,” Morgan said. “Another is

The young actors remain thankful for the opportunities presented to them through Civic Theatre.

“If my mom had never found this, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today,” Russell said. “At my school, we don’t have an orchestra or any of these other opportunities that I get, so by the time I go to college, I probably wouldn’t be ready or get in. This is definitely giving me a step up.”

July 11 marked a joint celebration of Lorene Burkhart’s 80th birthday and an awards ceremony in her honor.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Indianapolis Mayor Gregory Ballard proclaimed the day “Lorene Burkhart Day” for each of the two cities.

Burkhart, a longtime resident of Indianapolis, recently moved to Carmel. Lorene Burkhart is a well-known philanthropist, author, publisher, radio and TV personality, civic leader and pioneer for women in the work place.

After recent heart surgery, Burkhart appeared to be recovering well and in great spirits as friends Barbara Boyd, Alpha Blackburn, Janie Hodges, Pat Wachtel, Syd Steele, Donna Martz, Peggy Sabens, Sharon Hunt, Rosie Steinmetz, Jeanne Olson, Bob Olson, Jenny Jones, Jim Jane Gradison and Winnie Ballard, to name a few, joined the celebration.

Mark Shunk, one of Lorene’s sons, flew in from Los Angeles to honor his mother at the ceremony. His wife, Suzy, joined him. Other family members enjoyed the celebration, as well. Shunk spoke briefly and noted that one of the most important lessons he learned from his mother was about giving back to the community.

Lorene Burkhart graduated from Purdue University in 1956 and has been a loyal supporter of the institution ever since. In 1994, she donated $1 million dollars to establish the Center for Families. In 1997, she received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters for her many leadership contributions.

In 1995, she received an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities from the University of Indianapolis. In 2013, she was awarded an Honorary Associate of Science Degree from Ivy Tech Community College.

Her passion for teaching and learning continues with her participation to further adult literacy through the Indy Reads program.

When asked what stands out as the most important achievement to her personally, Burkhart said, “I was a pioneer for women, opening the door for achievement in the work place.”

She also said several attributes helped to contributed to her success.

“A positive attitude balanced with common sense and facts. Look at things as opportunity, then execute the tasks at hand,” she said. “Life is full of surprises. I recently survived heart surgery and drastic downsizing of my living space. It’s a time of transition. Who knows what’s next?”

She will continue organizing projects and staying active, although, the immediate task at hand is cardio therapy. Living life well, for her, is identifying things that need to be done and doing it. It’s also about having fun.

“Fun for me is being with family and friends.

Funny people with good jokes make me laugh,” she said.

At 80, Lorene Burkhart continues to live life well.

Students present ‘The King and I’

By Jessica Fox • joseph@currentincarmel.com

The Summer Stock Theatre in Indianapolis wants to enlighten viewers with its spin on the classic play “The King and I” starting July 24.

“The King and I” is the story theatre of a British governess who goes to the court of Siam to tutor the King’s children. Throughout the play the governess, Anna, and the king begin to understand each other’s different cultures.

This musical includes the well-known classic musical theatre songs “Hello, Young Lovers,” “Getting to Know You,” and “Shall We Dance?”

“Summer Stock has a unique view. With Summer Stock there will be an artistic spin on it,” said actress Raelyn O’Dell.

She is a junior at Carmel High School, and she became interested in acting when her family moved to New Zealand for a few years. To further her theatre interests she got involved with the summer stock program last year.

“The level of professionalism at summer stock … you’re treated like a professional actor. You rise

to the occasion. It’s why there are such great performances,” O’Dell said.

The theatre is a nonprofit program for students 13-19 that is located in the Indianapolis area.

More than 40 performers will perform this love story and many of the actors are from Carmel.

But all the actors are students from throughout central Indiana who have spent months preparing for this show.

“It’ll be really fun, I have high hopes for the performance,” O’Dell said.

At 6 p.m. July 25 the theatre will host a reception in Foster Hall at Park Tudor High School featuring the artistic staff. Proceeds from the reception will help to cover participation costs for many of the performers.

All ticket proceeds go directly back to the program.

The Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission will be bringing audiences back to Depression-era circus life with their interpretation of William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” theatre this summer.

The comedy will mark the 22nd show in 21 years of “Shakespeare in the Park,” running July 24 through Aug. 2 at Seminary Park, between 10th and Hannibal streets near downtown Noblesville.

Director Christy Clinton has one primary goal for the audience – that they leave with a love for Shakespeare.

“Our mission for ‘ShakeClinton speare in the Park’ is to do a show that helps people … understand why Shakespeare has endured and why he continues to endure,” Clinton said.

This year’s interpretation of “As You Like It” follows the story of circus performers, who have been forced to flee to a forest by the evil Duke Frederick, Artistic Director Ryan Shelton said.

Themes of mistaken identity, lessons in love, and enjoying life in the forest make it a “fun and entertaining night of theatre.”

“This isn’t a well-known piece. It’s not ‘Romeo & Juliet,’” said Marcus Waye, who plays antagonist Duke Frederick. “It’s nice for (the audience)

to come and get exposed to something a little different.”

Though relatively unknown, the play includes one of Shakespeare’s most famous monologues, “All the world’s a stage.”

Hamilton County Historian David Heighway, who plays Adam, said this will be the third production of “As You Like It” in the festival’s 21 years. To change it up from previous interpretations, they chose to take the plot out of its typical 17th-century French Court setting and place it in a circus in the 1930s.

Since Shakespeare’s plots are so “real,” Clinton said they are also very transportable.

Though the audience will not be able to understand evShelton ery word, Clinton said they will understand the passions, emotions and hopefully some of the “bawdy” jokes.

“We look for the people that fit the parts and will accomplish that mission of making it the best show possible for the people who come,” Clinton said.

“As You Like It” • Play starts at dusk on July 24 through 26 and July 31 through Aug. 2 ; the pre-show begins at 7:30 p.m., pushing the play’s start time to about 8:15 p.m. • Admission is free • Guests are encouraged to bring food and lawn chairs • For more information visit www. noblesvillearts.org.

Belfry staging righteous musical

By Jospeh Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

Noblesville’s Belfry Theatre will host performances of the parables of the Bible when “Godspell” is presented to the community on July 25 through July 27 and Aug. 1 theatre through Aug. 3.

Godspell, meaning “good news” in Old English, was originally written by playwright John-Michael Tebelak with songs written

by Stephen Schwartz, the composer behind “Wicked” and “Pocahontas.”

Structured as a series of parables, Godspell primarily revolves around the Gospel of Matthew and the life of Jesus.

Director Connie Murello-Todd hopes to give the show’s cast and crew, comprised primarily of actors under the age of 18, a fun experience.

“I try hard to keep it rated G or PG,” MurelloTodd said. “I also try to not be preachy, but the kids have actually gone and done a lot of their own research.”

The Belfry Theatre will turn 50 years old next year. It was established with the help of Betty Lou Kyle, who founded the Apprentice Players program, which helps young actors receive opportunities to work in a real theatre in a variety of capacities.

“It was one of (Betty’s) proudest achievements,” Murello-Todd said.

Students were encouraged to select their own costuming for the musical. Characters are usu-

ally referred to by the actor’s first name. Some characters, like John the Baptist and Judas Iscariot, are even played by the same actor.

This level of personalization lends a bit of fun to each actor’s interpretation of their character.

“I feel like Judas was more in love with the idea of a savior than Jesus himself,” said Charles Parrish, who plays both John the Baptist and Judas.

The religious angle of Godspell also plays an important role for community members who wish to express their faith.

“It’s lots of fun, but we’re learning a lot about scripture,” Katelyn Rose-Maudlin said. “My church told the same scripture as the show recently.

We’re developing our skills and our faith.”

Motorcyclists, hear this warning Commentary by Marty Wood

speeds can measure up to 103 dB. At these levels, a rider begins to experience physical fatigue from excess noise exposure, and puts him or her into a position of needing a hearing aid later in life.

Another common motorcycle riding experience is a temporary loss of your hearing level immediately following a long ride. Having this experience multiple times will result in permanent hearing damage. Everyone has experienced this at one time or another, whether it is from going to loud dance halls, or concerts or even work, but this is a common occurrence for motorcyclists who do not wear adequate hearing protection while riding their bike.

There are several types of hearing-protection devices on the market. A custom set of ear molds is the best answer for suppressing sound.

They provide excellent noise-suppression values and are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. (One additional recommendation is to check with local state officials on the regulations of wearing hearing protection. See the AMA web pages on State Motorcycle Laws, www. americanmotorcyclist.com/Rights/State-Laws. aspx.)

I have been enjoying motorcycling for more years than I care to admit. In addition to the wind in our faces, unobstructed panoramic views and the experience of the Hearing road on two (sometimes three) wheels, most of us really enjoy the sound a motorcycle makes.

Most motorcyclists understand that noise exposure over time damages their hearing. unfortunately, many define noise as that emanating from the bike itself or other road and traffic conditions. Many bikers believe that only those that do not wear full-face helmets are exposed to excessive noise. While somewhat correct, the real hearing “killer” is wind noise.

Wind noise is the result of turbulence produced around the head while in motion. The result is irreversible hearing loss/damage during a period of time when adequate hearing protection is not worn. Like shooting and aviation noise exposure, the amount of exposure to the inner ear is compounded every hour you ride.

To put this in perspective, an average worker surrounded by levels of approximately 85 to 90 decibels (dB) for an eight-hour day will not exceed the limits of exposure time within 24 hours.

However, when the sound levels exceed 100 dB, exposure time is reduced to two hours. If sound levels exceed 115 dB, exposure time is reduced to 15 minutes. Typical “wind noise” at highway

Understanding different business models of financial services Commentary by Adam Cmejla

The past couple of columns addressed some of the important questions that should be considered when evaluating and contemplating hiring a financial professional. finance Up to this point, we’ve focused around the name on the door.

Let’s take a look at the name above the door and evaluate the different types of business models that advisors can operate.

Big-name brokerage houses These types of firms are going to be the household names that most of us have heard of in the past and are traditionally featured in the news for multiple reasons. Oftentimes called “wirehouses,” they are the large Wall Street firms in which advisors operate.

A number of these firms have proprietary funds and products that their advisors often use for their clients. The advisor in this business model can operate under a commission or fee business model.

One potential downfall is that they may be limited in the financial vehicles that they can offer their clients because of management decisions, mutual selling agreements between companies and business models.

A potential advantage is that, for a complex client needing multiple high-end services (such as investment banking, business financing, etc.), it may be a one-stop shop for multiple solutions.

The insurance model You may see these firms advertised as “XYZ Firm: Providing insurance and financial services.”

Their typical business model has always been and continues to be insurance-based and risk management. However, management at these companies realize that there is additional revenue that is being left on the table by not offering “financial services.”

You’ll typically see these agents having their insurance license as well as FINRA securities licenses Series 6 and 63, which allow them to offer mutual funds and variable products (such as annuities and variable life insurance contracts).

While they may have other vehicles to offer, the core business behind this model is insurance.

The fee-only independent model These firms are financial planning and advisory firms that are typically wholly owned and

operated independent of any national brokerage or insurance firm/agency. This means that they, by definition, do not have FINRA securities licenses but rather are registered as “Registered Investment Advisors,” or RIA’s.

Their name is both on the door as the advisor(s) and also above the door as owner(s) of the firm. What this means is that 100 percent of their compensation comes from the client in the form of fees paid.

The benefit to this business model is that clients have the peace of mind knowing that the advisor can always work in the best interest of the client and actually have a legal obligation to do so.

A potential downside to this business model is that they can sometimes have high minimum asset size requirements, which can leave a well-intentioned potential client on the outside looking in.

The dually registered independent firm In true transparency, this is how we operate our firm. What this means is that, as independent advisors, we are similar to the fee-only model mentioned above in that we are not captive to a specific firm and are not required to offer only a select number of vehicles.

Again, similar to the fee-only model, our names are both on and above the door. These firms have typically aligned with an independent broker/dealer and registered investment advisor, allowing us to do business with clients in both a commissioned and fee model.

The important quality to understand when working with this advisor is, as I’ve mentioned in the past, understand up front where their compensation is coming from and how they’re serving you.

When all is said and done, there are multiple different ways in which advisors can set up their business and serve their clients. Until our industry adopts a uniform fiduciary standard, which will require all advisors to have a legal obligation to put our clients’ best interest first, it’s important to understand the different business models that exist and how they serve clients.

DISPATCHES Are enough young workers quitting their jobs? - During and after the recession, the U.S. economy has been too weak for many workers to undertake the sort of job-hopping that economists say is critical to building careers and advancing the nation’s long-run growth prospects. The consequence: Even many Americans who have remained employed have stunted their earnings growth by staying pinned down to their current jobs.

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said “People are reluctant to risk leaving their jobs because they worry that it will be hard to find another.” By hopping from employer to employer, especially early on, workers find jobs better-suited to their skills, build their résumés, bid up their salaries and boost lifetime earnings prospects. They eventually settle down and change jobs less frequently. While the nation’s jobless rate dropped to 6.1 percent in June, the lowest in nearly six years, the improvement masks the fact that many workers who held jobs throughout the downturn and recovery struggled to advance. Their plight is best captured by the collapse in the monthly hiring rate, from 5.5 million in 2006 to as low as 3.6 million in 2009, according to the Labor Department. It was 4.7 million in May, the latest figure available. SOURCE: The Wall Street Journal

Courtyard of Home of Jose Fuster near Havana. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Fusterlandia: A Cuban oasis Commentary by Don Knebel

U. S. citizens can now travel to Cuba legally for the purpose of interacting with Cuban artists.

“Fusterlandia,” a visual fantasyland travel in an otherwise drab neighborhood, is one of the most popular destinations on these “People to People” trips.

Fusterlandia is situated in the seaside village of Jaimanitas, a western suburb of Havana. The exteriors of about 80 homes are covered from top to bottom with brightly colored tiles forming whimsical images, from exotic people, plants and animals to unusual takes on famous paintings.

Outside the houses are statues, some standing ten or more feet tall, also covered with mosaics.

Some of the art work is primitive, some evokes Picasso and some is quite realistic. Images from Santeria and Cuban folk tales are particularly popular.

This vibrant art all comes from the hands and mind of Jose Fuster, after whom the area is affectionately named. Fuster was born in Cuba in 1946 and worked as a literacy tutor in the Sierra Maestra Mountains at age 14 before being trained as an artist in Havana. He has exhibited his paintings and ceramics in several countries,

including the United States, and began creating Fusterlandia thirty years ago.

Fuster often holds court in the studio in his small house, above a courtyard overflowing with art. Over a glass of rum, he gladly shares his artistic and political views. He says he decorated the neighborhood to help his impoverished neighbors. That is certainly part of the story. In addition, Fusterlandia attracts hundreds of foreign visitors to Fuster’s studio every year, where they can purchase art items selling for up to $10,000.

Art is exempt from the U.S. trade embargo and Fuster is now allowed to keep the proceeds of his sales, subject to paying a fifty percent tax on his profits. His son recently quit his job as a government physician earning about 40 dollars a month to work full-time for his father.

For visitors to Havana, Fusterlandia is an oasis of color and free enterprise in a country still short of both. It is also an example of the changes that are happening in the Cuban economy.

Contemporary kitchen remodel adds better storage, function Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING KITCHEN: This home is located on the Northside of Indianapolis near the White River.

Lack of storage and blueprint for functionality were a few improvement of the reasons the owners decided to remodel.

“As we stepped inside our front door, we were greeted by a cluttered office, an untidy laundry area and dated kitchen. The space did not give off a warm and welcoming feeling.” The goal was to create a more efficient entry, hide the laundry and create a functional yet contemporary kitchen.

ENTRY AND LAUNDRY ROOMS: The previous office was transformed into an enclosed laundry room featuring a modern frosted glass door. A custom storage bench with wood top was placed in the entry to help organize clothing accessories.

BAR AREA: The former laundry area was converted into a wet bar using new poplar cabinetry in a chocolate brown finish featuring frosted glass fronts. Coffee-brown granite countertops and a “Catalonia” tiled backsplash added warmth.

ISLAND: The existing island offered ample storage, but lacked the proper overhang for bar stools and did not offer enough countertop space for everyday purposes. A new, larger multi-functional island was installed featuring decorative corbel supports. The expanded island now serves as a central spot for cooking, eating and conversing.

APPLIANCES: To better accommodate the

before & after

RESULT: “One of our favorite features of the whole remodel is the vent hood.

It is so functional and gives the kitchen a contemporary look. We love it.”

homeowners’ lifestyle, an induction cooktop was added to the enlarged island. A stainless vent hood was added above the cooktop and an under-counter convection microwave was installed freeing up valuable countertop space needed for prep work.

FINISHING TOUCHES: Tying together the desired warm and contemporary style, the couple chose a heated slate floor tile in a herringbone pattern for the kitchen and adjoining rooms and selected a warming “copper wire” paint color for the entry and kitchen walls.
