City expected to renew utilities, CRC lease at Lurie building

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Carmel Utilities moved into the second floor of the Lurie building at 30 W. Main St. in 2013, city real estate officials lauded the fact that the new lease would save the city thousands of dollars in rent each month.

But now, as the first term of the lease nears an end, some are wondering if the cost savings went far enough.

Carmel Utilities leases 6,372 square feet of space for $11,000 per month, and it subleases 1,654 square feet of that space to the Carmel Redevelopment Commission for $2,885 per month. That equates to $20.71 annually per square foot, a price that Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said is within market rates.

Drew Pattyn, president of Northern Commercial, said that because of the variety of buildings in the Arts & Design District, it’s difficult to pinpoint an average price to lease office space in the area. Fair prices could range from $18 to $28 per square foot, he said, but it depends on the specifics of each building and lease structure.

He said, however, that cheaper leases are available elsewhere in town, such as in a building he represents near the intersection of Gradle Drive and 3rd Avenue SW. He said simple office space for entities that don’t need associated retail uses or elaborate signage can be found for $12 to $13 per square foot, with build-out included, although tenants are responsible for maintaining the interior of the space. The building and others like it are .2 miles from City Hall, .4 miles from City Center and approximately 1 mile from the intersection of Range Line Road and Main Street, the heart of the Arts & Design District.

Did we reconstruct his ACL . . . or his dream?

“Why is the CRC in a downtown Carmel building? There’s no need for them to be there. They should be closer to City Hall if they’re connected to the city,” Pattyn said.

“There’s space that’s $12 per square foot, and you don’t have to make any improvements. You can rent this (cheaper space) unless you just want to impress people. Is that what it is?”

Pattyn said he’s been involved in many real estate transactions for office space in downtown Carmel but that they don’t happen as often as they once did.

“Now it’s just astronomical (in price),” he said. “I haven’t done a deal in downtown Carmel for ages, because everybody I deal with, as soon as they find out about how expensive it is, they go, ‘No way.’”

Mike Napariu, vice president of sales and leasing at Carmel-based REI Real Estate Services, said that office leasing rates tend to be going up because of high demand, specifically in the Meridian Corridor. He believes the city is paying a fair rate to rent space in the Lurie building but that price isn’t the only factor in choosing a location.

“If you were Carmel Utilities or the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, you could find cheaper space, but can people find

you?” Napariu said. “If I’m selling downtown Carmel and I’m not in downtown Carmel, it’s a little bit harder sell. You want to be there, you want to understand it and you’re right here so you know what’s going on. I think the CRC is right where they should be.”

City officials agree. Because the CRC is specifically charged with the redevelopment of certain areas, it makes sense for its office to be nearby, said city spokesman Dan McFeely. The office is in the Arts & Design District, and Midtown and City Center are within walking distance.

He also said the Carmel Utilities office should be in a place that’s easy for customers to pay bills or meet with officials. The utilities department estimates that more than 1,250 customers come into the office to pay bills each year.

“The office should be centrally located and easy to find for our residents as opposed to an office park where it can sometimes be confusing to find the right door to enter,” McFeely said.

In addition, McFeely said the city has “invested heavily” in its redevelopment areas See LURIE page 4

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.”

A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

in the past 20 years and will continue to do so, in part by leasing there.

“It does not seem to be a matter of good policy to simply abandon the very area we are trying to help just so we can save a few bucks on square footage,” he said.

The lease expires in January of 2018 and includes two four-year renewal options with rent increasing 3 percent, at most.

The city must announce its intentions to renew the lease six months before it ends.

Brainard expects that it will.

“I think they’re planning on staying, because the build-out is expensive,” he said.

Carmel spent approximately $189,000 to build out the space, McFeely said.

The city has a long history with the Lurie building. It guaranteed the construction loan, as banks weren’t willing to invest in the area 12 years ago, Brainard said. Art dealer Evan Lurie, who at one time served as an arts consultant to the city, bought the bottom two levels and opened a gallery on the first floor. The remaining space was developed as condos. The city paid off its loan when Lurie secured financing and the condos old. That essentially brought an end to the public-private partnership.

“The public part of it now is to make sure that Evan stayed, (so) we’ve leased,” Brainard said. “A lot of the art galleries struggle.

That’s the nature of that business. We do have a provision in that lease that if the art gallery were to close, the lease ends.”

Lurie, who operates an art gallery on the first floor, said he’s been satisfied having Carmel Utilities and the CRC as tenants but that he plans to keep his gallery open in Carmel, no matter who leases the second floor.

“My gallery there has zero to do with who’s upstairs,” he said. “Whoever is up there is nice to have, whether it’s them or anybody else.”

Cities are required to bid out projects that they build, such as roads and structures, but leases are not required to go through a similar process.

Mike Howard, an attorney for the City of Noblesville who also does work for Hamilton County, said the law gives municipalities leeway in where they choose to lease.

“As long as they’re using it for a governmental purpose, it’s within their discretion,” Howard said. “The people who may elect them may not be happy about it, but there’s a big difference. What’s not politically popular is not the same as what’s illegal.”

When State Sen. Mike Delph presented Ken Keltner with a Sagamore of the Wabash award, Delph achievement told him he might be the answer to a trivia question one day.

Delph nominated Keltner for the award, which honors distinguished service to the state.

“I’m very humbled and honored by the award, to say the least,” said Keltner, who has lived in Carmel since 1971. “I’m not sure that I’m that deserving, but someone thought I was, so I’ll take it.”

Among his other contributions, Keltner has served as a volunteer with several organizations.

Thomas Revard grew up around cycling.

After all, his grandparents Tom and Nancy Revard opened The achievement Bike Line in Broad Ripple in 1979. Revard’s father, Bill, and his uncles, Jimmy and Charlie, own the Broad Ripple shop and the Carmel store, which opened in 1997.

So Revard, 19, started riding bicycles at age 4 and began racing at age 8.

“People my age usually discover cycling in college, so it’s rare or unique to have someone that has been racing as long as I have,” Revard said.

His experience is paying off.

Revard captured the Category 1 Criterium U23 (ages 19-22) at the USA Cycling Amateur Road Nationals July 2 in Louisville. It was the 2016 Carmel High School graduate’s first national title. There was no prize money for the event, but Revard said, “You got to go home with a pretty cool jersey.”

Revard, a Marian University cycling team member, was riding for his trade team, Bissell ABG Giant Cycling Team. He followed up his victory by finishing third in the Indy Criterium July 8.

Revard gave credit for his recent success to Marian teammate Ian McShane, personal cycling coach John Singleton and his father.

Revard originally planned to compete in cycling only at Marian. That changed when Marian cycling coach Dean Peterson suggested he meet the university’s cross country coach, Michael Holman.

“He’s as great as the cycling coach, so I was like, I have to run for him,” Revard said.

Revard was a member of Carmel’s cross country state championship teams in 2012, 2013 and 2015.

Methodist men gather, serve

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com Approximately 700 men gathered in Indianapolis July 7 and 8 to strengthen their faith and serve the community faith during the National Gathering of United Methodist Men. Held at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, the two-day conference is geared toward helping men change their lives and the lives of those around them.

“We want to create a supportive fellowship of men and declare centrality of Christ in the lives of men and all their relationships,” said Dave Martin, a Carmel resident and past president of the Indiana Conference of United Methodist Men. “The goal is also to make disciples of men for the transformation of the world.”

The conference is held every four years.

The theme of the 2017 event was “Discipleship: The Contact Sport.” Each session was geared toward a sport.

“It was about getting men thinking about how it’s a team effort. And to get other men to be disciples for Christ, you have to talk to them about it,” Martin said. “But it

also focused on developing as an individual and dealing with yourself as a contact and how that can affect what you’re doing at your church and why, say, your men’s group isn’t growing.”

The conference featured 19 workshops on topics such as leadership and personal growth and subjects ranging from cyber bullying to stress management. In addition, the men gave back to the community by bagging 42,000 pounds of potatoes for food pantries and families in need. They also built wheelchair ramps and 24 handcranked mobility carts for distribution around the world.

Wipe the slate clean: Indiana’s Second Chance Law Commentary by Jim Crum

Do you have a past arrest or conviction for a crime that is making it difficult for you to land the job you want? In law 2013, the Indiana Legislature made it possible for you to wipe clean most of your criminal arrests and convictions. Known as the Second Chance Law, Indiana’s expungement law allows you to expunge misdemeanor convictions as long as five years have elapsed since your most recent conviction, you have no charges or investigations pending and you have paid all costs associated with the conviction.

Importantly, in the case of drunk driving cases, the conviction also will be expunged from your BMV record.

Misdemeanors aren’t the only convictions you can wipe off your record. Most Level 6 or D-felonies (think theft, narcotic possession, multiple offense OWIs) can be expunged as long as eight years have elapsed since conviction date and all other requirements mentioned above are met. Although there are some exceptions, as long

as you meet the requirements the judge must expunge your misdemeanor and Level 6/D-felony convictions. Once the convictions are expunged, the law states that you must be treated as if you have never been convicted of the offense. Additionally, when asked on a job application if you have ever been convicted of a crime, you can legally say “no.” You can only seek expungement once in your lifetime.

For those who have been arrested, but never convicted, that arrest is likely showing up on a background check. The expungement law applies here as well, and you can have the judge order that the arrest record be sealed from public access after one year from date of arrest.

Lastly, as you can imagine, there are exceptions to all of the rules discussed in this article that may affect expungement.

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

Going through the emotional aspects of a divorce is difficult in and of itself, but the added pressure of managing finances only adds additional challenges. Going from a two-income household to a one-income household can be scary and you may be tempted to start moving assets around, or paying off debts, but you may want to think twice before doing so. Indiana law presumes an equal division of property, which means both parties are on the hook for all assets and debts that are considered marital. Disposing of said assets and liabilities could put you at risk.

What counts as marital property? Does it include money I brought into the marriage? What about the house I purchased prior to marriage? I earned significant retirement assets prior to the marriage—is that included, too? While many states consider separate property, Indiana takes a “one pot” approach. All property owned by either spouse, whether acquired prior to or during the marriage, is considered marital property. This includes real property, personal property, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and anything else under the sun you can think of. The same rules apply for liabilities, too.

Wait a minute. What about that big inheritance I received from a family member? A court can consider the extent to which property was acquired prior to a marriage or if property was given as a gift or through inheritance, but keep in mind this is only one of the relevant factors a court must take into consideration if you’re trying to exclude certain property as marital.

What happens to the marital assets once a petition for dissolution has been filed? Consider the date you file for divorce a frozen snapshot of all your assets and liabilities. Everything you own and any debt you have will be valued as of that date and will be included in your marital estate. This means anything you acquire after your date of filing, whether an asset or

debt, is yours and yours alone. If your spouse wants to go buy a Lamborghini after the date of filing, that debt will solely be on them. If you buy a lottery ticket the week after filing for divorce and hit the jackpot, that money belongs to you! What you can’t do, however, is dissipate assets that are considered marital.

Can I sell my property? It’s not necessarily a straightforward answer. If both parties in a divorce agree to sell an asset, a home for example, that’s perfectly okay. Any equity received or liability incurred can be attributed to each party at the end of a divorce settlement. If both parties agree that each party will keep their respective cars and then you want to go sell your car and use the proceeds to buy a new one, that’s okay too—so long as there’s an agreement to do so. Every situation is different, so it’s important to get advice before getting rid of any major assets.

In many situations, parties are unable to agree on their own. If, for instance, one party has concerns the other party will cut off funds or dissipate assets, either party can request a temporary restraining order be placed on marital property. Specifically, this would keep either party from transferring, encumbering, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property. This essentially freezes your assets. Many courts issue these types of orders automatically when a divorce is filed, but if you have specific concerns, it’s best to address it directly. Don’t worry, you’re still allowed to use assets (think cash assets) for the normal and regular necessities of life, though. Just don’t go purchasing any big-ticket items.

If you’re unsure of your rights, the attorneys at Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., have the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Choirs welcome new directors

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel High School choral department staff will have a new makeup this year. high school Associate directors John Burlace and Christina Mauck both resigned following the 2016-17 school year.

“John decided to leave teaching altogether and is pursuing his freelance work, and he and his wife moved to California,” said Kathrine Kouns, the directors of choirs. “He’ll still Barker be working with us a little bit, doing some arranging for our program.

Christina was on maternity leave this past semester because she had a baby. She was from Illinois, so she and her husband decided they wanted to be closer with family with the new baby.”

Their replacements are Kyle Barker and Sam Chenoweth.

Barker, a 2013 Indiana University graduate, has taught the past four years at Northridge High School in Middlebury. The Cathedral High School graduate said he

is glad to be returning to his Indianapolis roots.

“Even more importantly, though, I feel that the experience I gained and the relationships built at my previous school have prepared me to continue the legacy of the Carmel Choral Department as well as help shape the path for the choirs in the future,” Barker said.

Chenoweth, a Fairfield (Ohio) High School and Ball State graduate, has been working as a freelance show choir choreographer.

“Even though he’s a new teacher, he comes to us Chenoweth with a wealth of experience,” Kouns said.

Chenoweth said he is eager to work in such a collaborative environment with his new colleagues.

“The talent of our students is something not to be taken for granted,” Chenoweth said. “So many things are so incredible about the CHS choirs, so it’s going to be our job to not only continue the tradition of excellence but reach new heights in whatever ways we can.”

Middle school principals named

By Heather Collines news@currentincarmel.com Two of Carmel’s middle schools will have new principals when students return to class in the leadership fall.

The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees appointed Tim Phares to lead Creekside Middle School and Deanna Pitman as the new principal at Carmel Middle School. Both administrators have extensive experience throughout CCS. Phares Phares, who recently completed his doctorate in educational leadership from Ball State University, said he was cut from the cloth of two educators and that his new role will provide an opportunity to continue to grow in the profession and learn a new aspect of public education.

Phares said he looks forward to reconnecting with the students and parents he has gotten to know during his 17 years in CCS. He noted that as the principal of

Towne Meadow Elementary for the past seven years, he will already know onethird of the students at Creekside Middle School. Previously, he served as principal and taught kindergarten and fifth grade at Orchard Park Elementary and was assistant principal at Prairie Trace Elementary.

Phares is replacing Thomas Harmas, who became the new principal of Carmel High School.

Pitman, the former Forest Dale Elementary principal, spent eight years at Carmel Middle School as a sixth-grade teacher. She replaces Lila Jay, who was appointed Pitman principal of Smoky Row Elementary in June.

“I have spent more than half of my educational career in the middle school,” Pitman said. “I have personally experienced what a great school Carmel Middle is and wanted to be a part of it again.”

The search for a new principal at Forest Dale and Towne Meadow elementary schools is under way. Wahl intends to name new principals for both schools before school resumes in August.

New path ready at College Wood

By Christine Fernando news@currentincarmel.com When students pour in through whiterimmed doors of College Wood Elementary School for the new school year in August, they’ll be able to enjoy a new trails 1/8-mile walking path.

“It’s something that every single student at College Wood can benefit from,” said Susan Herrmann, PTO president for the 2016-17 school year. “You want to put funds toward something that can touch every single student, and the walking path does that.”

The path will stretch through the grassy field behind College Wood to the transportation services building beside the school.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at a back-to-school social Aug. 13, two days before school begins. The social and ceremony will be open to all College Wood families.

The path cost $28,500, half of which was paid for by the PTO. The remaining $14,250 was provided by Carmel Clay Schools, Herrmann said.

As a result, Herrmann said the path was built thanks to the efforts of College Wood staff members, parents and members of

the community who donated goods and services to the carnival.

“Without all these different people working together, we wouldn’t have had the success we did, and we wouldn’t have been able to make this all possible,” she said.

Herrmann said she expects children to use the path at recess and during physical education classes. She said the PTO can also plan wellness activities around the path.

“There’s so many possibilities,” Herrmann said. “I know the path will be put to good use.”

Herrmann said the path’s location also allows members of the community outside of College Wood to use it. As a result, the path will be an asset to the entire community, she said.

“It’s not just for the students,” she said.

“It’s for the community and promoting a healthy lifestyle within it.”

Teacher invents Rally Ring

By Christine Fernando news@currentincarmel.com A sea of yellow rally towels adorned with the words “terrible towel” in bold, black lettering flooded new product Mike Bostic’s television screen last Thanksgiving.

These “terrible towels” have become an emblem for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, but when Bostic looked to the other side of the arena, he realized Colts fans didn’t have a similar identifiable fan tradition, so he set out to change that.

He created the Rally Ring—a mash-up between a rally towel and a foam finger.

“We’ve seen foam fingers around since the ’70s,” said Bostic, a Carmel resident and wellness teacher at Forest Dale Elementary school. “This is a modern spin on it.

It’s something new, something that hasn’t been done before.”

After realizing how expensive and difficult the process of getting NFL licensing for Rally Rings would be, Bostic and his business partners, Rob Lykins and Steve

McNeely, decided to shift their focus.

Instead of a Colts fan product, the patent-pending, U.S. trademarked Rally Ring became an item targeted at high school and university teams.

Bostic said he hopes to break into the promotional market, which would allow teams to print logos of corporate sponsors on the back of Rally Rings and their own team logos on the front.

“It’s become our American dream to really get it out there into people’s hand so that they can enjoy them during games,” he said.

Carmel’s Randy Lewandowski shares rise from Indians’ ticket-taker to president, GM

By Nick Poust • news@currentincarmel.com In 1993, Randy Lewandowski graduated from Anderson University with a degree in business management but had no clear career path. cover story After college, he moved back home to Fort Wayne to work with his brother-in-law, who owned a chain of liquor stores, but that wasn’t for him. When he ran into an old teammate from his Anderson baseball days, everything changed.

“He’d done an internship with the Indianapolis Indians, and I said, ‘Hey, I’d always thought about working in sports. That sounds cool,’” Lewandowski said, sitting in the Max Schumacher Suite, high above Victory Field.

“Back then in the early ’90s, it wasn’t as prevalent.

Staffs weren’t as large. There were fewer jobs, but I said I’ll give it a shot.”

In 1994, the internship that ensued, working in the ticketing office at the Indians’ former home, Bush Stadium, was the start of what has become a 24-year relationship with the Triple A baseball team for Lewandowski, a Carmel resident who is in his third season as the Indians’ president/general manager.

Before the promotion, Lewandowski had progressed Randy Lewandowski with his daughter, Alyssa, at an Indians game at Victory Field in 2006. (Photo courtesy the Lewandowski family)

through the ranks, working his way up to director of operations in 1997; co-assistant GM in 2002; and sole assistant GM in 2007. Each step, including taking tickets and answering phone calls back in ’94, influenced his objective as GM and president today.

“I think it goes back to what we’re all about: the fan experience, the fan memory,” he said. “We always put our fans first, and in those roles you’re either trying to get them the best seat possible when they come watch the game, or when you come into the ballpark you have the best experience. It’s clean, it’s comfortable, all of those things that have made us successful over the years.”

Cal Burleson, a Fishers resident and senior vice president with the team, said Lewandowski’s experience and knowledge of the game has contributed to his success.

“Randy has had a feel and a passion for the game itself,” said Burleson, who joined the Indians in 1975 and has served in a variety of roles. “He was an outstanding high school player and was a college All-American at Anderson University. He understood how the game was played.”

Under Lewandowski, during the 2016 season Victory Field not only broke the single-season attendance record set in its 1998 inaugural season but also drew more fans than any of the nation’s other 244 minor league teams. The Indians will have plenty of opportunities to set more records, too, having signed a 20-year lease prior to the 2016 season.

“We’ll know for sure that we’ll have 40 years of baseball here at West and Maryland streets,” Lewandowski said. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything, in minor league or Major League Baseball, in regards to where we sit in the city.”

Burleson said Lewandowski is skilled at getting all the departments in the organization to work together.

“He sets a high bar for himself in terms of his own ability, and in doing so sets a high standard for everyone else in the organization,” he said.

Unlike the GM position at the Major League Baseball level, Lewandowski is less responsible for player personnel and more so for the business side of the game.

Signing players is decided by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Indians’ parent club.

“We want to win. We want to be competitive. We’re trying to win our league, but also off the field it’s trying to provide a great playing atmosphere for those play-

accomplishments Randy Lewandowski was named International League Executive of the Year in 2016.

In his three years as general manager, the Indians have topped 630,000 fans each season, setting both Victory Field and minor league baseball attendance records.

Lewandowski was a four-year starter for the Anderson University Ravens baseball team and was named an All-American as both a pitcher and first baseman. ers, and that means bringing in fans,” Lewandowski said. “That’s really something that we’re proud of. We’ve focused on what we’re about, which is affordable family fun.”

A testament to the committment is an increase in staff. When Lewandowski was an intern, the Indians’ staff consisted of eight people. The number is now 45.

As was the case then, everyone from the ticketing managers to the groundskeepers play a role in making the Indians’ home the place to be.

“We want to be the premier downtown summertime destination in central Indiana,” Lewandowski said.

“That’s what we want to be here in Indianapolis, and we feel like we’ve done a very good job of that.”

“I think it goes back to what we’re all about: the fan experience, the fan memory. We always put our fans first, and in those roles you’re either trying to get them the best seat possible when they come watch the game, or when you come into the ballpark you have the best experience. - Randy Lewandowski

o b s e r v ation Never-ending firsts Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Firsts. Premiers. The maiden voyage.

We all have them. Yet, as we age, it may seem as if they become fewer. But do they ever go away? Along life’s journey, we are routinely presented with opportunities to try our hand at new things, skills and experiences.

Among the many joys of seeing life through the eyes of young children is the sense of anticipation and apprehension that embodies firsts. We recall that an inaugural school dance is filled with trepidation even as we are compelled to attend – driven by our desire to socialize.

At a certain stage in life, what is left for us that is new? We have traveled, raised children, paid a mortgage, built a career, driven a car, eaten exotic food and, most likely, been to a school dance. Too often, we slip into our routines imagining that little remains undiscovered. Yet, are we being entirely honest with ourselves?

Do we intentionally avoid the novel and unknown firsts, just like a trepidacious child loath to leave the safe confines of mother’s skirt? Are we deliberately holding ourselves back, excusing our reluctance by claiming that there is nothing new under the sun?

Only recently, our youngest procured his initial license to drive an automobile. He was a bit reticent. In time, the course work and training were completed. The tests and administrations were fulfilled. All that remained was the first drive – alone. Even as the car pulled from our lane, his anxiety transformed into elation. He had overcome another first and was already on to the next.

A funny thing happened on my way to a funeral.

As I prepared to pull out of humor my driveway to make the fourhour round trip to Kentucky, I realized I had forgotten to pack a water. I put the car in park, kicked off my heels and raced through the garage toward the door.

My left foot suddenly connected with a two-by-four concealed under a tarp. I stumbled into the house before the pain hit, then dropped to my knees on the kitchen floor. My vison blurred and I thought I might vomit. As I whimpered over my surely broken toe, practicing excuses for why I would no longer attend a good friend’s father’s service, my older daughter walked in, assessed the situation and said, “Now you know how I feel every time I drop a rifle on my foot.” She’s in color guard and frequently sustains injuries to her extremities, but still, where’s the compassion? “Get up, Mom. You’ll be fine.”

She prepared an ice bag, fed me two Aleve and then hustled me back out to the car. “Mom, you have to go. It’s important.”

Despite the pain, I realized she was right.

I had to go. The student had become the master. Proud parenting moment!

I made it to Louisville, shoved my blissfully numb foot into a 3-inch heel and hobbled my way through a one-hour calling. True, when I stopped by my parents’ afterward and removed my now bloodfilled shoe, my toe was a disturbing shade of purple and was no longer numb. But I was so thankful that my daughter had the wherewithal to understand that I needed to be there for my friend.

Life can be funny like that, right? Peace out.

R E A D E RS ’ V I E WS Fix the pot hole at River Road, 126th St. Editor, Just a casual observation and suggestion for our illustrious Mayor Brainard.

Would it not be great to fix the massive pot hole as you turn to go south on River Road at 126th?

My goodness, millions spent everywhere else, but as an afterthought after Hazel Dell was closed at 116th, the city scrambled to ease congestion at 126th to

put in a right turn lane, (which is) wonderful but they missed this major snafu when you’re turning to go south.

The extra money spent to fix that was a major oversight and cost me $200 for a rear tire, but the mayor has his priorities with The Chris Kringle whatever.

Thanks, Jimmy Boy. Steve Hendrick, Carmel

You could learn something from an experienced shopper Editor, I am truly offended by Danielle Wilson’s column entitled “Grocery Survival Guide.”

She states to never get in a checkout line behind a woman older than 30 unless it’s her. For her information, all her

“tricks” to a speedy checkout are ones I’ve been practicing for many years, and I’m way over 30. So it could be said to get in line behind an experienced shopper.

You may learn a thing or two!

Tax increases challenge seniors Editor, I wish public officials to know senior residents are financially challenged by the continuous property tax increases, in one form or another, to fund the massive construction improvements in Carmel.

There are not tax deductions for those under 65 unless the combined household income is less than $25,000 a year (including Social Security).

R E A D E RS ’ V I E WS Contact state for fireworks law change Editor, I could not agree more with Joyce Winner, who feels that 11 nights for fireworks are excessive. Three or four would seem very reasonable. I already contacted the city about this issue and was told that it is now state law, not local, that provides for this — and that cities are no longer able

to legislate a shorter duration. As I’m sure we can all guess, there was a lobbying effort by the fireworks industry behind this.

Please contact State Rep. Donna Schaibley at h24@iga.in.gov or call 317-234-2993 to lend your support to her efforts to shorten the duration of fireworks.

An August roundabout challenge Editor, As the official non-mayor of Carmel, I hereby proclaim August Roundabout Rodeo Month. In August, each of us Carmelitarians can set our stopwatches as we leave our driveways, tour the city’s 100 roundabouts and see how many we can circumnavigate in one hour.

That’s right. One hour of unsurpassed challenge and fun. Where else can one tour the Olympic rings at Smoky Row and U.S. 31 and ponder the sculptures and cinnamon bun cement things elsewhere?

Arise, Carmelans! In 60 minutes, you won’t get to see all 100. But, let us begin.

Stop excessive political spending Editor, Shame on any political candidates who involve themselves in excessive spending to secure political seats. Enough! We need limits on campaign spending. We need to stop campaign ads that manipulate messages by using suggestive language and skewed “facts.” The candidate can say “no” to excessive spending, working instead to get their message out to the public in ways that inspire and engage the populace. What a shame that millions and millions of dollars are washed down the political bipartisan election process drain. We can do better through the appropriate use of social media, through “meet and greets” in the community, through inviting the media to

cover speeches, through the organization of hard-working volunteers. We also need voters to assess the candidate’s platform and how they plan to govern. From what they hear and read, is this an elected official the voters want to lead and represent them? Does she/he represent the very best of our country’s values and principles? Do they have clearly defined plans to address the needs of all constituents? Voting is a powerful act. We need to make sure our vote is counted for every election to choose candidates who have our best interests at the forefront of their platforms, and then we have to monitor that they do and what they said they would do!

SUMMER FLOORING SALE FINANCING AVAILABLE

Picture this: A loser’s tale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I am a loser. I lose everything. Most people lose golf balls on a course; I lose clubs. One time I lost the golf humor cart. People lose their wallets; I lose my pants. Don’t ask. It’s a long story.

I recently reported on the Wolfsies’ trip to Banff, Canada, where I spent most of the time waiting in the car due to my bad knee. I managed to snap some great photos of my son, Brett, and my wife, Mary Ellen, as they headed out for a hike each morning, and I got some more scenic pics in the evening at dinner.

I’m a good photographer, but at the airport before our flight home, I lost my focus.

I put my camera in the large gray tray to go through security. Then I forgot to retrieve it from the conveyor. When I went back five minutes later, it was gone. My Konica had been stolen, along with the pictures showing all the fun we had, although most of the photos were of Mary Ellen and Brett walking away from the car and heading off without me.

I had my name and email address taped on the back, but I assumed the camera was

gone forever. Then last week, I opened my email and there was this note: Dear Mr. Wolfsie: Thanks for leaving your camera unattended at the Toronto Airport. I’ve always wanted a vintage one like that. But when I started looking through those pictures, my heart just went out to you. You have such a lovely family, so I am emailing you all your digital photos.

Your wife is very attractive, but tell her a lime-green sweater does not work with red hair. What’s with your white socks with blue jeans? Tell your son not to slouch when he walks. Also, why so few shots of you? Ever hear of a selfie? You should have more fun. The Wolfsies look very stiff.

Anyway, Dick, if I may call you that (I feel like I know you), I am keeping the camera, even though I would have preferred a Nikon.

P.S. Do you know if they make a carrying case for this model?

Bread company looks to expand

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com Great Harvest Bread Company CEO Mike Ferretti said Great Harvest Bread Co. franchise owners aren’t forced into a cookie-cutter boxed model like many franchises.

(Submitted photo)

Great Harvest Bread Co., a 40-year-old bakery, is looking to re-enter the Carmel market by offering “hub and spoke” bakery-café franbakery chise opportunities.

The “hub and spoke” franchise model will include a single Great Harvest Bread Co. bakery and as many cafe-only units as the franchise owners desire throughout surrounding cities.

The company offers the “hub and spoke” model to keep the bread freshly milled and made from scratch. CEO Mike Ferretti said the business model makes it easy for individuals to manage their businesses while maintaining the company’s commitment to fresh, healthy food.

“While the rest of the world got used to mass manufacturing of processed bread, Great Harvest continues to mill high-quality wheat and bake bread fresh daily, and our customers love us for that,” Ferretti said. “We continue to grind wheat berries ordered from local Montana family-owned farms.”

The company said Great Harvest Bread Co. isn’t a chain but a link to an old-fashioned way of doing things. The company said it makes bread “the way it was made in the Bible.”

Ferretti believes the business model will allow Great Harvest Bread Co. to outperform and outcover the big-box bread-based chains.

“The evolution to the ‘hub and spoke’ model gives us the opportunity to go into a market like Carmel with a strong brand capacity and further develop the café system within the area,” Ferretti said.

Local franchise owners are given the freedom to personalize the decor and menu items to suit the needs of their local market.

Menu items include breads, pastries, muffins, cinnamon rolls, grain bowls and deli sandwiches.

The average cost to open a Great Harvest Bread Company bakery-café is roughly $315,000.

Quontic Bank doubles in size, adds staff

By Heather Collins • news@currentincarmel.com

Quontic Bank is growing along with the demand for mortgages. The New York City-based bank’s Carmel location, which opened in January 2016, has doubled its loan production expansion office in Carmel to 8,500 square feet and continues to add staff.

The office has grown from a handful of employees to 45 staff members. Quontic Bank plans to hire 20 additional staff members in the next several months, including additional loan officers, compliance officers, sales managers and administrative assistants.

Holsworth Quontic Bank’s Carmel location processes loans from a wide-ranging portfolio consisting of local and national clients.

Tom Holsworth, business development manager, attributes part of the growth to the office’s synergy.

“We have a great location and a great vibe through the office,” Holsworth said. “We play music and we keep it fresh, always.”

Holsworth said the goal of the office is to work hard and play hard.

“Our fundamental focus is to understand the needs of the client.

Sometimes we aren’t right for them and sometimes they aren’t right for us. Being able to understand that, I believe, puts us ahead of the competition. We aren’t just order-takers, we are professionals,” Holsworth said.

Quontic Bank’s Carmel office is in One Penn Mark Plaza at 11595 North Meridian St. For information, visit quonticbank.com.

CEOs for Cities is a nonprofit that connects urban leaders across different sectors and generations.

Fisher, a former Ohio lieutenant governor who lives in Cleveland, gave a presentation July 14 at the all-county luncheon at Forum Conference & Events Center in Fishers that featured chamber of commerce groups from Westfield, Noblesville and OneZone (Carmel/Fishers).

“Our view if you are committed to the success of your city and you are doing something about it, you are the CEO, you are changemakers,” Fisher said. “What you did when you merge two chambers (OneZone), it was bold and innovative. It was ahead of your time as I travel this country and traveled to more than 50 cities the past two years. You deserve applause for what you have done. Why? Because collaboration is the new competition.”

“Don’t try to be Silicon Valley, try to be Carmel,” Fisher said. “Try to be Fishers, try to be Westfield, be who you are, but also try to find what makes you distinctive. What’s your distinctive DNA? It might be the Arts District.

It might be Conner Prairie.”

Fisher said feelings are more important than words.

“You want people to feel good about themselves and feel like there is something special going on,” Fisher said. “It all forms an attitude.”

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Mallory Young, Abbey Grogan and Megan Nichols have been teammates on the softball field. But this summer, the three former Carmel Middle giving back School students are working together in the VolunTeen program at Eskenazi Health.

The girls, who will be freshmen at Carmel High School in the fall, were selected out of more than 100 applicants.

“We thought it was neat that all three of the girls were on the same softball team at CMS. They go from playing softball together to being a teen volunteer together,” said Melissa Beuc Young, Mallory’s mother.

The elite program introduces teens to careers in the health care industry.

“The program is for 14- to 19-year-olds that have a strong interest in careers in health care. It doesn’t have to be a specific area,” said Scott Lawson, Eskenazi Health manager of volunteer programs. “Most of the kids that come to us have a strong interest in being a surgeon, nurse or physical therapist.”

Carmel’s Wray completes ‘Neverland’ run

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitchell Wray found some kindred spirits as a cast member of “Finding Neverland – The New Musical.” profile Wray, a 12-year-old from Carmel, recently completed a 10-month, 24-city tour as a member of the national tour. Wray played either Jack or Peter on the tour.

For Wray, the best part was “to get to hang out with a group of boys who are serious about it and like to do what I do.”

Wray said he learned a great deal during the time.

“The singing, the dancing and acting all improved,” Wray said. “Overall, it just made me a better person.”

Wray said he enjoyed playing Jack.

“That’s who I originated as, so he has a lot of value to me,” Wray said.

Wray traveled with his mother, Chauncie, while his twin sister, Amelia, and father, Corey, stayed home.

“That was the hardest part at first, but then I kind of adjusted,” said Wray, who typically got visits from his father and sister once a month.

Castmates act in “Finding Neverland.” From left, top row, Finn Faulconer, Ben Krieger, and Mitchell Wray; bottom row, Jordan Cole.

(Submitted photo)

There were typically eight performances a week, with Mondays being off. Wray would act in six or seven shows per week.

“We got to visit a ton of cool places,” Wray said. “In Orlando, there was Disney and Universal (Studios). Houston was really

nice. All of the cities had something about it that I remember specifically, whether it was a good thing or bad thing. We went to this underground city in Seattle that was really cool.”

Wray took classes online during the tour.

“There was a tutor that traveled with the show, and he would wrangle all the kids every day, typically around noon,” Corey said.

They would study between shows and even during intermission.

Along with performing in several Indianapolis-area plays, Wray acted in an independent film, “Crossroads of America.”

“Right now, theater is my favorite because of the live audience,” said Wray, who will be a seventh-grader at Creekside Middle School in August.

Wray said the audience feedback differed each day.

“Sometimes, the audience doesn’t clap or laugh much,” Wray said. “But sometimes they clap for so long, which is really awesome because I think I feed off the audience’s energy.”

While Wray is searching for his next project, sister Amelia will appear in “Fun Home” at the Phoenix Theatre this fall.

Summer Stock presents ‘Pippin’ July 27-30

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com John Collins loves the challenge of his latest role.

Collins will perform in the theater title role of Summer Stock Stage’s production of “Pippin” July 27 to 30 at Park Tudor School. Pippin is a young prince in search of fulfillment.

Collins, a 2017 Herron Collins High School graduate from the Geist area, said the music is high tenor material.

“It’s big, intense music, and along with it you have to show this arc of journey starting from a kid who just wants to be the best version of himself he can be and finding his place in the world. He keeps fail-

ing time and time again,” said Collins, who plans to major in musical theater at the University of Cincinnati. “He feels he has nowhere else to turn. To be able to show that arc is a good challenge to have.”

This is Collins’ fifth year with Summer Stock. Last year he played Shrek in “Shrek the Musical.” In addition, he played Anthony Hope in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s “Sweeney Todd” earlier in the year.

Krauter Collins will perform with fellow 2017 Herron graduate Courtney Krauter, a Carmel resident.

“He’s been my best guy friend since I was a freshman, so it’s been super-fun working with him all these past years at Summer Stock,” said Krauter, who will attend Indiana University to major in interna-

tional studies this fall.

Krauter plays Berthe, Pippin’s grandmother.

“She was cast out of the kingdom due to personality conflicts with her daughterin-law,” Krauter said. “She’s a kind person but has a hilarious humor to her. She gets a little crude at times. She is real fun to be playing because I kind of relate (to a similar sense of humor).”

Krauter said the director doesn’t want to dress her up as an older lady.

“I’m going to wear a wig, but he’s going to make it more abstract,” Krauter said. “I act it out instead.”

Too much makeup might be an issue, too, since Krauter said she performs in other scenes as a chorus member.

Performances are set for 7 p.m. July 27, 28, 29 and 2 p.m. July 30. For more, visit summerstockstage.com.

Q&A: Create the perfect space Commentary by Randy Sorrell More questions and answers for outdoor designing What are the greatest challenges in outdoor designing/installing incredible indoor/outdoor outdoor living living spaces?

Often, it’s simply teasing out the details of how the space will be used and what sort of furniture is imagined. Occasionally, it’s negotiating competing visions between the homeowners. Regardless, it’s a compelling and fluid process that feels like an elegant dance.

Hopefully.

Has 3-D imaging helped the customers’ vision process?

Absolutely! As has Houzz and Pinterest with shared story boards of favorite images for inspiration. All are wonderful tools when fueled with our abbreviated materials library.

Oooh, materials library! What’s that?

Our curated display of preferred materials in our design studio. When sewn together with the client and design, the visioning improves dramatically.

Any suggestions on getting the best performance from installation teams?

Generally, these are very hard-working men and women who appreciate being appreciated. A kind “hello” carries the day.

Follow that with “may I bring you bottles of water or some snacks?” and get ready for exceptional performance.

Any inspirational thoughts on outdoor living?

There’s growing recognition that welldesigned spaces can be a place of healing.

Mentally, spiritually and even physically. If you haven’t experienced that, please invite that into your living. In my view, it’s similar to yoga or a great bout of cardio buzz.

Tell us about the featured project

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.”

The cut Indiana Limestone steps and wall caps create a sexy story and sets an easy tone for the space. It’s immediately livable, warm and inviting, encouraged by the fashionable landscape, elegant furniture and edgy grill station. Perhaps the 2017 favorite!

David Weekley Homes recently partnered with 18 local nonprofit organizations across the philanthropy nation through the company’s CARE Build Month projects.

In Indianapolis, the project benefited Coburn Place Safe Haven, an organization that empowers victims of intimate partner violence by offering housing options, support services and resources.

Approximately 55 Weekley team members from the company’s Indianapolis team joined with several vendor and business partners to remodel 12 kitchens, paint a storage shed, build a bench and complete yard work.

“We are beyond grateful for the 12 new kitchens David Weekley Homes renovated during this year’s CARE event,” stated Julie Henson, community engagement director at Coburn Place Safe Haven. “This makes a total of 22 out of 35 kitchens that David Weekley has remodeled for

Coburn Place in just two years.”

The project will benefit approximately 100 children and 65 adults annually that live in the on-site transitional housing portion of the program, plus many more for years to come. The project included donations of more than $11,000 in materials and tools as well as nearly 900 volunteer hours.

The project was an initiative of the company’s CARE program, a charitable and volunteer initiative that partners team members, homeowners, homebuyers and community partners with nonprofits. For more, visit davidweekleyhomes.com.

Santa Fe’s ‘Miraculous Staircase’ Commentary by Don Knebel The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest Gothic-style church west of the Mississippi River. It incorporates what some claim is a divinely built travel staircase.

In about 1853, French-American Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy engaged two French architects to design and build a cathedral in Santa Fe, which had become part of the United States in 1848. During the construction of what became St. Francis Cathedral, the architects also designed a chapel for use by local members of the Sisters of Loretto, the first order of nuns established in the United States. Artisans imported from France and Italy assisted local carpenters in building the Gothic-style Loretto Chapel, modeled on Paris’ Sainte Chapelle.

According to a story reported long ago by the Sisters of Loretto, when the chapel was completed in 1878, it relied on a narrow ladder to reach the choir loft. When local carpenters were unable to construct a suitable stairway in the small space, the nuns prayed to St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, for a solution. On the final day of their novena, a nine-day prayer vigil, a carpenter with only a hammer, a saw and a square showed up leading a donkey.

After a few months in 1879 working in private inside the chapel, the carpenter left without seeking compensation.

After the nuns saw the circular staircase the unknown carpenter had created, they sought to learn his identity.

When they were unsuccessful, the nuns believed that the

mysterious carpenter might have been St. Joseph himself.

The staircase (not including the later-added bannister) comprises 93 pieces of wood of unknown origin. The staircase makes two 360-degree turns and includes no central support and no nails. Engineers still argue about the structural principles underlying the so-called “Miraculous Staircase” of Loretto Chapel, now a private museum.

Dispatches Fresher bread – If you refrigerate bread to keep it longer, you’re actually shortening its life. When bread is stored in a refrigerator, the cold causes the starches to recrystallize and harden so it gets stale more quickly than at warmer temperatures.

Freezing, however, dramatically slows the process down. Bread should be stored at room temperature for only a few days, or frozen for longer storage.

How to tell if avocado is ripe – Since avocados are so expensive, it’s frustrating to cut into one and find out it’s not ripe yet, or is overripe. Here are a few pointers for determining ripeness: 1. Color – A dark, matte, hunter green is just about right.

2. Softness – A ripe avocado will give slightly when gently squeezed. If it feels hard, it is underripe.

3. Stem – Under the stem should be green. If it’s black, the fruit is overripe. If the stem won’t easily come off, the fruit is not ripe yet.
