Mayor has plans to install more roundabouts

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Westfield are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard recently told Current in Carmel that “There aren’t a lot of intersections in Carmel transportation where a roundabout wouldn’t work.”

And now that he’s been reelected for a sixth term, it seems like more of these circular intersections will be installed. The question comes down to which areas need them the most and how much will it cost.

The city’s eastside is likely to see the most roundabout construction in the near future.

City councilor Sue Finkam, who represents much of this area, stood with the mayor as he announced plans for roundabouts at 116th and Gray Road, 116th and Hazel Dell Parkway, 126th and Gray Road, Main Street and Gray Road, 136th Street and Gray Road and 136th Street and Carey Road.

Correction: The early bird price for the Aug. 22 District BrewFest is $55 for the early VIP access, and the general admission that starts later is $45.

John Accetturo, a former member of the Carmel City Council, ran unsuccessfully against Finkam in the last election, but he didn’t disagree with her on the need for roundabouts.

In fact, he said he wishes these projects were started sooner. Accetturo has often painted himself as a “watchdog” and “fiscal hawk,” and he ran unsuccessfully against Brainard for mayor in 2011 on the position that Brainard was piling up too much debt. Still, he said there’s a need to invest in these intersections.

“While I oppose borrowing money to get it done, these areas really need some new roundabouts,” he said. “The eastside has needed some attention for a long time.”

Another roundabout possibility is at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway, a project that would likely need federal money to get off the ground. A federal Tiger Grant request estimated the cost at around $30 million for a small version of that project.

Car seat installations – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, 18100 Cumberland Rd., will host a free child car seat installation and inspection event from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 10. Certified car seat technicians will conduct car seat installations and inspections for all types of seats. Call 773-1872 to schedule an appointment.

City Council President Rick Sharp, who ran unsuccessfully against Brainard for mayor this year, voiced his opposition to a roundabout at 96th and Keystone because of the cost and because he said there might be better ways to improve traffic flow.

Brainard will also push for new roundabouts along Range Line Road, as the new council members that will take office in January are expected to support these projects. Roundabouts are in the planning stage along Range Line Road at Carmel Drive, 116th Street, City Center Drive and 4th Street.

Brainard said some areas might not work for roundabouts because there isn’t enough space to construct one without taking out homes, but he said they work in most places.

“They reduce accidents and improve energy efficiency,” he said. “We’ve been a leader there with more than 60 roundabouts and we will continue to lead the way.”

Rotary Club meetings – The Rotary Club of Carmel meets from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays at the Mansion at Oak Hill, 5801 E. 116th St. Cost is $12 and includes a buffet lunch. Upcoming topics include: Aug. 7 – Deb Myers, Women Like Us Foundation; Aug. 14 – Nate Lichti, Director of Hamilton County Area Community Development (HAND).

Study shows life expectancy gap

By Navar Watson • news@currentincarmel.com A baby born in Hamilton County today is estimated to live 14 years longer than a baby born in south central Indianapolis, a new study finds.

The average life expectancy of residents in the Hamilton County city is about 83.7 years, whereas southern Indianapolis residents average out at 69.4 years. This “disturbing difference” surfaced in a study by the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI July 15.

“A gap of this size should not exist in the heartland of America,” head researcher Tess Weathers said.

This gap – the largest in a study of 104 Indiana ZIP codes – came between 46033 in Carmel and 46225 in Indianapolis, which are only 28 miles apart.

Carmel’s average rivals top-ranking countries in life expectancy, Weathers said. The life expectancy in southern Indianapolis, however, compares to that of Iraq.

“A great deal of this really has to do with those conditions that you’re living in day in and day out,” Weathers said. “It isn’t just one thing.

It’s things that stack up on top of one another.”

Weathers cited social determinants like education, housing and work environment.

This map shows how long people are expected to live, on average, in central Indiana. (Submitted map)

Education in Indianapolis looks different than education in Hamilton County, she said.

Furthermore, the quality of one’s education can influence the level of controllability in his or her job. Jobs with low controllability lead to chronic stress, aging the body prematurely.

Weathers said the next step is for individual communities to “facilitate a deeper dive” into the data tables and pinpoint where (in age) people are dying the most.

Gallery Walk to feature glass artist

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com In the fall, renowned Hoosier glass artist Lisa Pelo helped Gallery Walk attendees make colorful glass pumpkin diversion paperweights themselves.

People lined up and it was so popular that Pelo is back this month with glass paperweights as a part of the second Saturdays in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Aug. 8, attendees can pay $25 at the PNC lot to make their own glass paper weights. Safety precautions are taken but participants are asked to fill out an agreement form.

Pelo, of Hot Blown Glass Inc., has some her work on display at the Hoosier Salon and specializes in, “blown glass, slumped and fused glass, cast glass, and metal sculpture for home and business.”

“There is no other medium like it,” Pelo said.

“The challenge of controlling it better and making more elaborate and complex forms: this is a lifelong project. Color in glass is fascinating. When the light can come in and out of the form through the color to create its own visual interest regardless of the form, that is a skill that has to be honed and sometimes never understood by other glass workers.”

There will also be a silent auction with the highest bidders winning the artistically decorated rain barrels as a part of the Rain on Main event. The painted rain barrels were on display in The Gallery Walk event on Aug. the Arts Dis8 will include a silent auction trict to raise for decorated rain barrels. awareness (Submitted photo) about water conservation.

Scouts visit the Philmont Scout Ranch

Troop 358 in Carmel sent 19 boy scouts and six adults to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico this summer. The group was then broken down into three smaller groups called crews that each chose their own itinerary for their trip at Philmont. Each crew covered 70-80 miles during their trip. Each crew was self-sufficient carrying what they needed for the 10 days on the trail. They also elected a member to act as crew leader to delegate tasks around camp and lead the discussions at day’s end and plan for the next day.

Limited applications accepted for dog park

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com As Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation prepares to open its long-awaited Bark Park on Aug. 22, officials expect the Pets 250 available memberships to go quickly.

Parks Director Mark Westermeier said memberships will be limited to prevent overcrowding, which can ruin the grass and cause other problems.

“You don’t want to have a mud pit where you can’t grow grass,” he said.

To that end, Carmel Clay Parks has invested in an irrigation system to keep the area looking lush. He sought advice on the membership policy and its effects from officials at the Broad Ripple dog park, which allows 500 dogs.

Dog park application requests may be made online, with applications accepted through Aug. 7. Staff will choose who to accept based on residency and when they submitted the application, with Carmel residents getting weighted preference. It’s possible that membership numbers could go up eventually.

“We strongly believe that there will be at least two more dog parks open in Carmel in the future,” Westermeier said. “We know West Park is one area where there’s strong interest

Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation is accepting applications through Aug. 7 for its dog park, which will open Aug. 22. (Submitted photo by Carmel Clay Parks)

for us opening another dog park.”

Membership will cost $10 a month. Westermeier said a monthly rate isn’t as costly up front and allows people to cancel at any time.

There aren’t any plans to bundle memberships with Monon Community Center.

New members also have to pay $40 to undergo a doggie DNA test that helps prevent owners from not picking up pet waste. Staff will test waste that isn’t disposed of and send fines to owners.

The Bark Park sits on more than two acres in Central Park surrounded by a four-foot fence with features such as a double-gated entrance with key fob locking, a shelter to beat the sun, separate areas for big dogs and little dogs, benches and a wooded area. A dog wash station might be installed in the future.

Westermeier said they are exploring ways that members can bring guests with them, but right now there’s no plans for a day pass entry instead of signing up for a membership.

The membership applies to the dog, so different people can bring a registered dog to the park.

The dog park ADDRESS: 1427 116th Street in Carmel COST: $10 a month with $40 application fee APPLICATION: 250 dogs total, applications available until Aug. 7 LIMIT: 3 dogs per household HOURS: • Spring/Summer (beginning Mar 15): 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

• Fall/Winter (beginning Oct 16): 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Parks board discusses term limits, attendance

Term limits, attendance rules and the status of standing committees were among the topics covered during a special city meeting of the Carmel/Clay Board of Parks and Recreation on July 28 to discuss its bylaws.

Board members were split on whether or not to implement term limits, one of the topics that led to a review of the bylaws.

“I don’t think anybody should be in an office for an extended period of time,” board member Richard Leirer said.

Board member Jim Garretson agreed, proposing limits such as no officer serving more than three years in a four-year span or four years within six years, but the board wasn’t unanimous and no final decision was reached.

“In principle, term limits are extremely important in certain instances,” board member Wendy Franklin said. “In practicality, you need more discussion to figure out how that looks with the way people go on and off of this particular board.”

The board’s vice president feared term limits could hamper the Park Board’s effectiveness unnecessarily.

“If you have somebody like Jim, who’s presi-

dent, he has a tremendous amount of experience to lead us as a board,” Taylor said. “If you limit that and there are a bunch of new people appointed to the Parks Board, you’re going to lose all that experience and history and guidance that was provided if we put an arbitrary term limit in.”

Another proposed bylaw debated involved setting attendance standards, specifically stating, as proposed, that members with less than 75 percent attendance the preceding year would not be eligible to serve as an officer unless the Park Board agreed unanimously to allow it.

Setting the cutoff at 60 percent or twothirds was also discussed, but some board members were wary of using the bylaws to set a tone for attendance.

Ultimately, the Board voted that an attendance policy should be in the bylaws, but the specifics have yet to be set.

“We see this Park Board as important, so anyone who is elected as an officer should take it seriously enough to be able to attend the meetings,” Franklin said. “If you can’t attend the meetings, you shouldn’t be an officer.

It’s questionable that you should even be on the Board.”

Board members also debated the necessity of standing committees within the Parks Board, with some officials seeing no point in continu-

ing them if they weren’t meeting. Others saw no harm in keeping them sustained and serving as a channel for relaying information.

After more than two hours of combing through the language of new and revised bylaws, vice president Rich Taylor moved to adjourn and continue the talks following the board’s next regular meeting on Aug. 11. Action and full approval on the bylaw changes could take place at that regular meeting, too.

establishing bylaws The board’s bylaws, first established in 2003, were last amended in 2011. “Bylaws are enacted to help a body govern itself in addition to its constitution,” said Deb Gresham, attorney for the board. “The Park Board's constitution is essentially the inter-local agreement and then any state law that applies in addition to it.” The Park Board isn’t legally required to have bylaws — and didn’t from 1991 to 2003 — but has conducted itself according to the bylaws’ guidelines and has made changes since its inception depending on the board’s activities or needs. “The creation of these bylaws was rooted, I think, in the need for organizing board action and to spread the work among the different board members based on their interests and strengths and what we needed at the time,” Gresham said.

Hunting club once popular in Carmel

By Terri Horvath • news@currentincarmel.com Long ago, buffalos roamed around Carmel.

Wolves once howled, and all kinds of game animals made their back in the day homes near the White River. Plentiful game meant that the early pioneers had lots of opportunities to provide meat for their table.

As the land was cleared for agricultural purposes, however, these animals left the area in search of better habitats. Finding game wasn’t as easy as it once had been. Plus, the area for hunting was further restricted by landowners who would padlock large tracts of their property to prevent trespassing.

The result led to the growing popularity of hunting clubs in the early 1900s, such as the one established in Carmel. Membership offered sportsmen greater opportunities to find areas that allowed hunting. By 1920, the club was still active.

One newspaper account tells an account of one of Fred W. Johnson’s excursions. While alone in the forest in Ontario, Canada, Johnson broke a buckle on his suspenders. He sat on a log to repair it and laid aside his rifle. He heard a growl and looked up. A bear was stand-

This 1914 photograph shows members of the Carmel Hunting Club waiting for a train traveling north to better hunting grounds. Identified members include Nick Stuterman Cook, Austin H. Sheets, Henry Roberts, John Graves, Fred Jeffries and W. Johnson. (Photo courtesy of the Carmel Clay Historical Society)

ing on his hind legs about 50 feet away. The reason for the outcome is unclear, but both the bear and Johnson survived unscathed.

Sometimes the stories brought back from the excursions were better than the game caught.

Why I LOVE This Business!

Fitness is a personal choice. Many of us don’t get serious about fitness until we reach a trigger point something in our lives that causes us to pause and realize now is the time to take control! My trigger was a milestone birthday. I joined Koko and never looked back. In fact, I recently purchased the Koko FitClubs in Fishers and Carmel.

Before Koko, I was one of those people who failed at mainstream gyms.

Perplexed was the best way to describe my gym experience. I didn’t know how to use the equipment, how much weight to use or how many reps to complete.

And my form, well there wasn’t any form.

There was no guidance offered as part of my membership. The help and support I needed to get and stay fit simply wasn’t there. Then I found Koko, and my life changed in so many ways. I’m getting what I want, how I want it and when I want it. Koko provides me everything I need to get on, and stay on, a healthy path.

don’t feel like they fit into mainstream gyms. We exist for one reason and one reason only: TO CHANGE LIVES. The proven Koko approach is based on a personalized and structured program that can be done in as little as 30 minutes, just a few times per week. Koko has worked for thousands of people who have failed in traditional gyms. There is a better way, and that way is Koko.

If you’ve reached your trigger and want to learn more about how to attack it with Koko, come try us for a risk-free, 30-day trial for just $30. Let us prove to you that fitness is simple, easy and addictive!

We will guide, motivate, support and celebrate with you as you become the person you’ve always wanted to be. It truly is possible!

Stop by either club during our grand opening through the month of July and let’s talk more about how Koko can change your life, or call us at 688-7670 (Carmel) or 863-8779 (Fishers).

At Koko, we specialize in helping people who have given up on fitness, Yours in fitness, are intimidated by “working out”, have struggled with weight loss or who just Janet Bailey and the Koko FitClub Team

New board president ready to make a difference

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Rich Taylor became the new board president of Chaucie’s Place in March. Current caught up with him to ask some questions about his new role. chaucie’s place Why did you get involved with Chaucie’s Place?

Through my role as a banker, I was asked to volunteer for Chaucie’s Place’s annual Treasure Our Children Fundraiser in 2008. I became reconnected with the organization again in 2010 and the more I learned about Chaucie Quillen’s story and how the Hamilton County community rallied together to help prevent child sexual abuse in our community, I was moved to commit further to this great cause.

I continued to volunteer and help in any way I could, but when a family member disclosed that they were a victim of abuse, I knew I had to take a larger role with the organization to help prevent child sexual abuse and teen suicide.

What is your vision for the future with Chaucie’s Place?

The vision the board of directors, staff and I share is to continue to increase our outreach and prevention programing to schools, youth-

Weekly program at St. Mark’s designed to help deal with grief

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com St. Mark’s United Methodist Church associate pastor Suzanna Ross Helms understands each person has a different recovery reaction to grief.

Helms, who serves as discussion leader, said GriefShare sessions can help. The sessions will be held at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 4780 E. 126th St., Carmel, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m on Mondays through Nov. 2.

This 13-week series features video lessons by nationally recognized experts providing information and encouragement on grief recovery topics such as: Is This Normal?, The Challenges of Grief, Grief & Your Relationships and Guilt & Anger.

“There is group discussion following the video,” Helms said. “Along with the weekly meetings there is a personal workbook that they use during the week. I’ve found the videos are very honest, very raw in communicating the grief process and very reassuring to people who are grieving that they’re OK and what they’re feeling is normal.”

The support group is open for church members and non-members.

“It doesn’t matter how long ago their loss was, they are welcome to join because grief is different for every person,” said Nancy Canning, communications director for St. Mark’s.

The church previously ran a GriefShare program from January to March.

“Each presentation stands alone so if you missed the first ones, it’s still OK to join the group even if it’s already started,” Helms said.

Helms said other churches run the program on different nights so visitors can catch a discussion topic they’ve missed. The schedules for churches in the area are available on griefshare.com.

GriefShare, a nondenominational program, features biblical concepts for healing from grief.

A participation fee of $15 covers the cost of all materials, including a workbook for journaling and personal study exercises to reinforce the session topics. For more information, or to register, visit stmarkscarmel.org/grief or call St. Mark’s at 846-4912. Child care is available with advance request.

There were hundreds of one-of-a-kind memorabilia and exquisite pieces of history from wall to wall.

I was intrigued by priceless tiny bits of old record pieces that would be transformed back to their original shape and form. The experience was educational and truly breathtaking. It is a wonderful place to take your friends and family to learn about famous musicians and how their music still continues to shine.

If you have not been to the Songbook Foundation Academy I would highly urge you to visit and make a arrangements to take a tour. I promise you will be in awe of this magical place we have right here in Carmel and it’s free!

“Where’s Amy?” thinks it’s pretty safe to say … Dr. Robert Manges and wife Natalie of Carmel were both loving their fresh lobsters from Maine at the sixth annual Lobster Palooza.

Kathleen Spears, president and chief bridge builder at Powers For Good told “Where’s Amy?” that she loved supporting Indianapolis Opera and could not believe the size of the lobsters at the event.

“Where’s Amy?” … I had a blast at the sixth annual Lobster Palooza with guests of honor Larry and Dinah Bird on the beautiful grounds of the Frank and Katrina Basile Opera Center.

Guests were treated to refreshing cocktails and a feast of soft shell clams, corn on the cob, chicken and the biggest lobsters I have ever seen fresh from Maine.

The sold-out event raised funds to help support the Indianapolis Opera, which is the only professional opera house in the state. “Where’s Amy?” can’t wait to get a group of friends together for the eight-week classes offered in the fall and spring that teach people of all ages about opera and music.

I was delighted to hear they also offer a program that brings opera to senior citizens. The magical night ended with guests dancing to the beat of the Indianapolis-based band Henle and the Loops. “Where’s Amy?” spotted a bunch of Carmel residents at the event and hand’s down everyone who attended had a wonderful time.

Historical group highlights family with 193 years of Carmel history

By Sam Robinson • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society discovered that there are living links to the very first settlers to call Carmel home.

In fact, there more than 750 of them, Cover story most of whom reside in and around Carmel today.

The Carmel Clay Historical Society launched a new exhibit entitled “My Life Story: The Moffitts.” It documents the roots founder Silas Moffitt planted in the community when he first traveled from North Carolina to the area in 1822.

Whitney Dennis, the director of the Carmel Clay Historical Society, said that investigating the Moffitt family was exciting because it’s not an ancient thought of yesteryear. The Moffitts are still part of the community, and they’ve held onto their history.

“The reason we found it all is that the family saved it,” Dennis said. “The fun part of local history is you can reach out to the actual family.”

The exhibit is a collection of donated letters, photos and heirlooms. There are deeds and documents, love letters and run-of-the-mill correspondence. But what was business as usual for the people that wrote those letters and made those business deals ended up being much of the foundation of Carmel’s history.

The Historical Society tracked down family members of the Moffitts with the information it already had. Dennis said that they started putting a family tree together by piecing together clues: who married whom, who moved where, who sold what and to whom.

“The history of the Moffitt family is the history of Clay Township,” Dennis said. “The line gets confusing. There are a lot of Silases, a lot of Carls, a lot of Alberts.”

The Moffitts were Quaker farmers that owned large stretches of land in eastern Carmel, which was established as Bethlehem in 1837. The name later changed to Carmel in 1846.

The Moffitts were one of the first families to attend the Carmel Friends Church on West Main Street.

The Moffitts had around 800 acres of land in total, but their descendants that set off on their own or married into other families extended the Moffitts’ reach.

Marianne Schafer, the three-times great granddaughter of Silas Moffitt, lives in Florida, but she spent her summers with her grandparents in Carmel during the Second World War. She said she knew her family was big as a child, but she didn’t realize her family’s place in history until she got older.

“My grandfather loved this land so much,” Schafer said. “And it’s lovely to have his place recognized after all these years.”

“This makes my history come alive.”

Did you know?

The first Moffitt family member came to Carmel in 1822.

There are more than 750 decedents of the family still living in and around Carmel today.

The Moffitts owned more than 800 acres of land around Carmel.

Carmel used to be called Bethlehem.

The name later changed to Carmel in 1846.

Source: The Carmel Clay Historical Society Silas Moffitt (1794 - 1873) and his wife Hannah Wilkinson (1799 1886) settled in what is now Carmel in 1822. They were Quaker farmers who owned extensive plots of land. These photos and many more are now on display.

The Historical Society had a gathering of Moffitts last month.

The question of the evening was “So, how are you connected?”

Douglas Dolen of Carmel said he’s the third great grandson of the original Silas Moffitt. Dolen said he had no idea his family stretched back so far until that evening.

“I didn’t know when I was younger, but I do now,” Dolen said. “But what kid does?”

Margaret Dolen, Douglas’ wife, said that being a part of the family, through marriage or blood, is like being a part of history.

“Genealogy interests me, and it’s great to see all of the family links here,” Margaret said.

Judy Henshaw-Singleton, one of the three-times great granddaughters of Silas Moffit, said that the women of her family have owned land in Carmel over 150 years.

“They were farmers coming to build a better life,” HenshawSingleton said. “I’m sitting here looking, thinking ‘Are these people my cousins?’”

“It makes me feel even more close to Carmel,” Henshaw-Singleton said. “We’re in a deep part of Carmel. I graduated from Carmel High School. I’ve always loved Carmel.”

Looking back, Marianne Schafer said she loved Carmel, too.

Growing up, the pride her grandfather had in the Moffitt family rubbed off on her.

“He made us feel like we were part of something,” Schafer said. “This is the first time I’ve been in Carmel for 10 years. And everything’s different.”

Schafer said that investigating Carmel history is vital as the town continues to change.

“Because in 10 years, it’ll If you go likely be different,” she said.

Carmel Clay Historical Society “No matter where you live, 221 1st St SW, Carmel you want to find out what 846-7117 happened before.”

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Did we speak too soon here?

A few weeks ago in this space, we labeled billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump a buffoon. While that may be true, given his bluster and off-color comments, we’re taking a closer look. What we most admire about Trump is this: He (for now) is a Republican with more than enough fortitude to tell the Republican National Committee where to get off. In truth, the Party of Wimps, is hurting Trump. Its leaders have no clue how damaged its brand really is. It began with George W. Bush and his spineless colleagues in the House and Senate. They actually brought rise to the new liberalism. Think about that. As we see it, Trump is holding a powerful card these days, the one that he may turn over and show him moving to independent status.

Yes, an “I” as Ross Perot once was. As an independent, he would throw the whole GOP nominating process into a bona fine mess, because he would, without a doubt, cause no small amount of squabbling among the leadership. Gall? Nerve? Guts? Smarts? We’ll go with the latter two at this point. He’s the only one in the current candidate pool with enough spine to say what he truly believes (even if he’s dead wrong on some fronts), not what “we” want to hear, and now it seems to us that he’s the leader in the clubhouse with respect to telling terrorists, nukeholding nations and general opponents of the U.S. that enough is enough. Donald Trump, independent. Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth, to speak nothing of the meteoric rise of angst, at RNC offices (Dysfunction Central) if he declares that designation? If he remains, could he rebrand the party? We’ll see.

Commentary by Terry Anker

While it seems summer has just begun, the kids are already buying backpacks and planning class schedules. Some of their friends, we’re told, have already found their way back into the classroom. For our younger ones, life is fairly simple. We follow the prescribed list provided by the school for supplies; and, we clean out the closet to see which clothes fit from the previous year. Although in our house, we may have reached the penultimate occasion as our youngest has finally matched in height to his big brother. Never daunted, we confirm classes and plan for back-to-school night.

Likewise, our older is preparing to return to his second year at Indiana University.

This time the trip is old hat. There will be little fumbling to find classroom buildings, the best place to get pizza, and the bookstore which sells its wares at a slightly lower price. Instead, our preparations have turned towards more adult topics. Along the way, we have attempted to directly

address difficult matters like substance abuse, interpersonal conflict, human sexuality, and domestic finance. While each of these has its own peculiarities, talking dollars and cents can be the most awkward.

College students are burdened with debt, along with their parents, at a rate unprecedented in human history. At the same time, irresponsible teen sexuality is on the decline. Is it possible that we’ve talked enough about the spread of disease but too little about the insidious spread of easy credit? What does it mean to be a debtor?

To our credit statement, to our spirits, and to our future? Can debt be smart? When is it most assuredly foolish? Creditors can be partners or predators – it is imperative that we know the difference.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

– Albert Einstein

All summer I have felt tired. At first I thought it was just my body finally slowing down after 10 months of juggling teaching, parenting and marriage. Then humor I suspected that my thyroid gland was the culprit. Most recently I’ve blamed the stupid training program I’m doing for a stupid triathlon that a stupid brother-in-law, or BIL, talked me in to. But alas, I now know the real reason for my frequent lethargy despite 10-hour-a-night sleeping marathons. Here’s what went down.

While vacationing with my entire family in South Carolina, a different BIL made a plea for Advil. My room was the closest, so I dashed in and grabbed an old Aleve bottle that contained what I thought were an assortment of various pain relievers. I sifted through and selected two small orangeybrown caplets and handed them over. Then, because it was my night to prepare dinner, I headed to Publix.

Twenty minutes later I received a phone call from my sister asking if I’d accidently given her husband Ambien. I laughed out loud and said, “Of course not! I don’t even own sleeping pills. And I’ve been working out of the same bottle for the past few months.

Those were definitely Advil!”

Turns out, they were most definitely not Advil, but honest-to-God 5 mg zolpidem tartrates. Luckily the BIL whom I drugged was fine after a long nap, but I spent the next hour crying, extremely embarrassed and utterly confused by my mistake. How had Ambien even made its way in there? The last time I remember having a prescription for it was 2007! Could these be the same ones?

Regardless, the mystery of my low energy levels is now solved. Every time I thought I was treating a headache I was actually ingesting a sedative! My family thinks the whole thing is hilarious, and won’t let me forget it. “Anybody have an Advil? I really need to sleep tonight!” or “Danielle, is this blue pill Aleve or Viagra?” Clearly, I’m surrounded by comedians.

I’m just thankful I solved my fatigue problem before the triathlon. Talk about stupid!

Peace out.

Let’s play Bocce Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Our friends Len and Helen invited us and some other church members to their house to play Bocce. Len read it was humor a great sport for Unitarians. But it might have said septuagenarians—he wasn’t sure. A player tosses the pallino, a small ball, down the court and then teams compete to see who can throw additional balls, which are a bit larger, closest to the target ball.

Simple enough, but soon a dispute arose when Myrna heaved the pallino onto the neighbor’s lawn and we didn’t know whose turn was next or how many points her team lost, and Martin wanted to know if we all stunk so much it was time to find another church activity.

To avoid any future confusion, I bought a book called “The Joy of Bocce.” I already owned “The Joy of Cooking” and “The Joy of Sex,” although both of them were put in storage before we started to remodel our kitchen.

The author summarizes, “Some people think it’s just a game of throwing bigger balls at a smaller ball.” Then the rest of the book is about how to throw a big ball at a smaller

ball. Mario wonders why bocce can’t get more TV coverage. (Maybe when this Donald Trump thing dies down.)

Determining whose ball is closest to the pallino is exacting. “When the distances are smaller than your foot, use a pencil, pieces of twigs and even a car antenna.” Apparently, the idea of a tape measure never dawned on these people. Precise measurement is important. When you have eight solid wooden balls the size of grapefruits, unlimited beer and cranky old people, you want to avoid any potential conflict.

There is also a chapter on Bocce etiquette, which includes not thinking too long over a shot, and maintaining emotional control. But my favorite is number three: DON’T WANDER OFF. Maybe that’s why Len keeps leaving me a voicemail message asking where I am. ( For Dick’s complete column go to www. currentincarmel.com)

Climate change: The real deal Editor, If one follows popular media, one is likely to “know” that “scientific evidence is overwhelming that man made climate change is real and happening now”. It is correct that climate change is real – it has been for four and a half billion years – but the “man made” part is minor.

My credentials; I am retired. I have never worked for an energy company. I’ve never accepted a grant. My Purdue degree is in a natural science and I have actively studied it ever since. I am an environmentalist. I cannot be written off as a “science denier.”

What I am going to tell you now is understood by few because it’s not what the political grant money supports to get the prescribed answers, Carbon in the atmosphere and oceans is much more controlled by volcanos than by humanity. The major causes of climate also include sun spots, sun flares and Milankovich cycles (Earth’s wobble and orbital shifts).

There has been limited press on the fraud of how temperatures have been reported and who has reported them for what reasons. The preponderance of responsible climate researchers report that world temperatures have not increased for 17 years and that we actually are now in a 10 year cooling cycle. Apparently there is even more, not less, ice in the Arctic.

I also study world politics more than most. That identifies me as a little nuts, but it’s clear that “global warming/climate change” is a political movement to compromise the greatest, most generous country this world has ever known by ending what’s left of its free market. Be careful who and what you believe, promote and ask for.

Redistribution of wealth, which this fraud is really about, is best accomplished by rewarding free enterprise.

Please don’t ask for more destructive government regulation.

Go behind the scenes of the Great American Songbook Competition The 2015 Songbook All-Stars perform a second group number called, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” (Photos by Brielle Saggesse) Salon 01 gives image makeovers to the Top 10 Finalists including Songbook All-Star Lucas DeBard, winner of the event. During the competition, DeBard sang “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter” and “I’ll See You In My Dreams.” DeBard said, “I’d really like to establish that I don’t want to be Michael Bublé, I don’t want to be Harry Connick Jr., I want to be Lucas DeBard. I want to come in with individuality so that they see Lucas and not something else.”

Songbook All-Star Madelyn Steuer starts her hair treatments for her own image transformation. Her songs for the competition were “Ev’rything I’ve Got” and “P.S. I Love You.” Steuer said, “I have a retro persona, in general, so I want to go for the 50s or 60s bombshell look. I want to surprise (the audience) because it’ll have that sex appeal even though I’m little. “

Songbook All-Star Katie Swaney waits to start her image transformation. She performed the musical theatre songs, “My White Knight” and “Show Me.” “I knew image was important (to a performer) but didn’t realize really how important it was until Mr. Alvarez told us today about a social experiment with a famous violinist,” Swaney said.

“When (the violinist) went out no one recognized him without the stage, the suit and the hair. It’s all about how people recognize you and how you present yourself.”

Kathleen Muloma, Songbook All-Star and Carmel High School graduate, performs a solo in “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” For the competition, Muloma sang “What’s New” and “I’m Beginning To See The Light.”

Kristin Barnes, Songbook All-Star and Carmel High School graduate sang “100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man” and “So In Love” for her part in the competition. “My favorite memory from this week was whenever all of us would just sit around and make music together,” Barnes said.

“I’m just continually blown away by the talent and blessed to be here.”

Compiled by Brielle Saggesse news@currentincarmel.com On July 25, finalists from around the country gathered to perform in the Great American Songbook performance Competition. Current’s Brielle Saggesse got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a performer by capturing singers before their performances at the Image Workshop on July 24, and during the competition.

Micki Stirsman, owner and creative director of Salon 01, and Aquage co-founder Luis Alvarez, who led the Image Workshop for the 2015 Songbook All-Stars on July 24 spoke to the finalists about image on stage and off.

Stirsman said, “You need to know what it is you want people to see you for. An artist on stage commands attention. Your voice is your art and that’s what we want people to see.”

Stirsman and Alvarez discussed how to build a performer’s image from choosing the right color for a gown to creating drama through contrast.

“We can’t help you with notes be we can sure help you with the note you put out, physically,” Alvarez said.

Harry Connick Jr. will perform Aug. 6 in Carmel.

(File photo)

Born in New Orleans and receptive to its musical traditions from childhood, Harry Connick Jr. has built a career performance that goes far beyond the Crescent City.

He’s had mass-media exposure as a judge on “American Idol” since January of last year.

But he was well known for decades before that, his fame especially boosted by his soundtrack recording for “When Harry Met Sally,” a 1989 romantic comedy starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.

Signed to Columbia records at 18, he’s now 47 and still based as musician and family man in New Orleans. From there he has lent conspicuous support to rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while maintaining a broad-based international career that encompasses acting on TV and in movies, in addition to a few writing and performing credits on Broadway, including a revival of “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.”

His songwriting is often featured on tour, and past Indianapolis appearances have included both big-band and small-group gigs. Stylistically, he’s comfortable in both jazz and poporiented contexts, playing piano and singing.

Teacher of the Month!

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!

Send a 100-word essay (along with your name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win the Market District/Current in Carmel honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The winning teacher will receive a gift from Market District, and your classroom will be treated to goodies from Market District.

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 11.

Connick’s family is prominent in his native city, and his success in music is rooted in his absorption of its music. As a pre-teen, he distinguished himself in both classical music and jazz.

His jazz development was guided by Ellis Marsalis, patriarch of jazz’s most notable family, and James Booker, a revered exponent of the New Orleans piano style who died in 1983.

“There’s nobody that could even remotely come close to his piano-playing ability. It can’t be done,” Connick once told an NPR interviewer.

“I’ve played Chopin etudes, I’ve done the whole thing, but there is nothing harder than James.”

He performs at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 6 at The Center for the Performing Arts. For tickets, visit thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Concert to benefit Autism Speaks

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Rachael Mellor, who has been singing since she was 6 years old, has found a way to combine her two passions. performance Two years ago, her son Logan, who will be a third grader this fall, was diagnosed with high functioning autism.

“She was devastated, but yet totally embraced it,” said Robin Reeder, her aunt who lives near Carmel on the north side of Indianapolis. “So she did a fundraiser concert for Autism Speaks in Pennsylvania last year and it was a great success so she did it again this year.”

Reeder made arrangements through Autism Speaks Indiana to arrange an Indianapolis concert fundraiser for their organization featuring Mellor, who lives in the Pittsburgh area.

The Songs for a Cause concert will feature Mellor and Nathaniel Licht, also from the Pittsburgh area. The performance is set for 8 p.m. on Aug. 14 at Indiana Landmarks Center’s

“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.”

-Janice H.

Cook Theater, 1201 Central Ave., Indianapolis.

“I’ve been wanting to get Rachael out here for a concert for a long time to get her some exposure,” Reeder said. “She’s headlined at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh and just been in Nashville. She recorded and wrote about Logan’s autism so that will be a song she will be singing when she’s here in concert.

Licht, who sings and plays the piano, has performed with Mellor in many shows as well as being members of the bands, Dreamscape and Premier, in the Pittsburgh area. They will perform music from Whitney Houston, Elton John, Christina Aguilera, among others.

“She is pretty much a jack of all trades.

She’ll do pop, she’ll do country and she does ballads and some original songs,” Reeder said.

Cecily Terhune, a 2011 Carmel High School graduate who plays the saxophone, and musical partner Brian Bosley will perform an opening jazz set with pianist Daniel Yount.

The cost is $20 (cash only) at the door.

Doors open at 7 p.m. A cash bar will be provided by Lockerbie Pub Catering.

Chlorine in Your Water: Is it Causing Problems in Your Home?

For more than 100 years, chlorine has been added to public water supplies as a disinfectant to prevent pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and protozoans, from growing. Chlorine has proven to be extremely effective in killing most microorganisms that grow in water supply reservoirs, on the walls of water mains and in storage tanks. Without chlorination (or some other form of water disinfection treatment), millions of people would be exposed to diseases and infections, such as cholera, salmonella, dysentery and others. Today, the U. S. has one of the safest water supplies in the world.

Although there are several methods available that can help eliminate disease-causing microorganisms in water, chlorination is the most commonly used. Unfortunately, chlorine in our water supply can have a variety of unpleasant effects: • Tastes and odors • Strips protective oils from skin and hair • Excess drying and wrinkling of skin • Deteriorates rubber seals in water-using appliances • Causes dry, brittle hair and fades colored hair • Fades clothes So how can you minimize your exposure to the chlorine? Kinetico has a solution. For more than 40 years, the water experts at Kinetico have engineered products to bring families in central Indiana the very best water.

The Kinetico Whole-Home Dechlorinator runs on the kinetic energy from the flow of your water, rather than electricity, and it has no timers or computers to set, adjust or repair. The system runs consistently and continuously, and can provide you with peace of mind that the water flowing through your pipes and out all of your taps is free from the effects of chlorine. The Dechlorinator is ideal for use with other water treatment products, such as water softeners.

Screen time and your health Commentary by David Pletzer, MD Mobile technology puts the world at our fingertips – literally. While there are many benefits to having news, inforwellness mation, entertainment and social media on demand, studies now show that increasing amounts of “screen time” can have a negative impact on personal health.

Research conducted by the National Institutes of Health reveals that extended exposure to screens of all types – TV, computers, smartphones, tablets and video games – increases the likelihood of weight gain and obesity and may cause attention-deficit issues.

Anxiety and depression are also linked to excessive screen use because there is often no way for people to offset or “work through” the various stimuli received from these devices. Screen time can also affect quality and amount of sleep, which can lead to additional health concerns.

It’s estimated that people of all ages spend an average of three hours a day just watching TV. That’s why it’s important for adults and parents to set limits on screen time. According to doctors and other health experts, children under two should not spend any time watch-

ing TV or using screens. Children and adults should limit screen time to just two hours per day, excluding time needed for school or work.

Setting guidelines as a family will help everyone maintain good screen-time habits.

Most physicians recommend discontinuing use of screens at least an hour before bed and during mealtime. It’s important for parents to act as good role models for their children by abiding by screen-time limits.

There are other ways to counteract the effects of screen time: Get moving. People are nearly always sedentary during screen time. Commit to getting at least one hour of moderate exercise each day to stay healthy.

Encourage socialization. Some screen time can be beneficial – especially when associated with a family or social activity. Interactive video games and family movie nights are ways that screens can help promote conversation, learning and togetherness.

MissionPoint Health Partners has teamed up with St.Vincent to further the company’s ministry of high-quality, healthcare holistic care – already helping 72,000 people in Indiana since the partnership began Jan. 1.

St.Vincent is applying MissionPoint’s Population Health Management model, which strives to see better patient outcomes, lower the costs of healthcare and improve patient satisfaction.

The goal is to idenAsher tify patients as people, not illnesses.

“Historically, health care in the United States has been very transactional. You come into the hospital when you’re sick, we make you better,” Dr. Richard Fogel, chief clinical officer of St.Vincent, said. “We’re going to continue to do that, but we also want to prevent you from coming into the hospital.”

The model comes in two parts. The first identifies sick and vulnerable people within a population and provides the resources they

need. The second identifies people who are well and keeps them well.

Fogel outlined the three teams implementing this model.

The transition team cares helps people transitioning from one level of care to another (e.g. hospital to home). The ambulatory team keeps patients healthy, and the integrative care team deals with needs outside the scope of “traditional doctor things,” like transportation to a doctor’s appointment or money for antibiotics.

MissionPoint works to eliminate these barriers, Fogel identifying them through personal interactions with people, either through home visits or wellness programs.

Fogel said he is excited to start implementing more measures catering to patients’ needs, such as same-day appointments, online scheduling and extended hours for busy people.

“The beautiful thing about the model is it works for everybody,” he said. “It works for the Medicare person who has multiple medical needs; it works for the mom who has sick children. It is scalable and flexible.”

‘Perpetrate’ or ‘perpetuate’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Here is one you might want to comment on: Does someone perpetrate a fraud or perpetuate a grammar guy fraud – or does it depend on how long he/ she intends to do it?” – (Wayne Sturtevant) Answer: Thanks for the question, Wayne.

It’s funny you should mention fraud…

The Grammar Guy column has been on a bit of a hiatus these last few weeks as I was in South Bend covering a trial dealing with, of all things, murder and insurance fraud. I suppose it makes sense to resume my grammar musings where my trial coverage left off.

At any rate, what we have here are nearhomophones that both come to us from Latin.

“Perpetrate” derives from the Latin perpetrare, or “to perform.” On the other hand, “perpetuate” comes from perpetuare, meaning “to make permanent.”

You can tell from those definitions, I imag-

ine, that “perpetrate” is going to be the appropriate word generally when dealing with crime. You perpetrate a heist. You perpetrate identity theft. You might even perpetrate some jaywalking, if you’re feeling really rebellious.

Fraud is an interesting example, though, because unlike many other crimes which are encapsulated into a small timeframe, fraud can continue on at length. That means once the fraud is in place, you would be totally appropriate to say you are “perpetuating” a fraud. Of course, you would “perpetrate” it in the first place – something has to already be in action before you can perpetuate it.

All that being said, crime is bad and you shouldn’t do it … although I might be able to overlook jaywalking.

Estonia is a tiny country along the Baltic Sea. In a very real way, the country was born singing. travel Beginning in the 13th century, the region of Estonia, lying north of Latvia and west of Russia, was ruled by Denmark, Poland, Sweden and finally, Russia.

Residents, most of them peasants, considered themselves “country people,” bound to whichever foreign power controlled them. In 1857, Johann Voldemar Jannsen, publisher of the first Estonian language newspaper, began calling his readers “Estonians.” He and his daughter then organized a “song fest,” held in June 1869 in Tartu. About 12,000 people listened for two days as an 822-member choir sang folk songs, encouraging Estonians to see themselves as a separate people. After four more festivals, the event moved to Tallinn, Estonia’s largest city. The sense of national identity and cohesion created by the song fests led to Estonia’s declaration of independence from Russia in 1918.

In 1940, the Soviet Union took control of Estonia, along with the other Baltic states of Latvia and Lithuania. The Tallinn song fests continued, with Russian songs added. An enormous stage,

Tallinn, Estonia, Song Festival Grounds (Photo by Don Knebel)

holding 15,000 singers, was built on a hillside above the harbor. In September 1988, 300,000 Estonians, nearly one-fourth of the country’s population, assembled before and on the Tallinn stage. They sang patriotic songs, raised the banned Estonian flag and demanded independence, leading to sustained protests in what became known as the “Singing Revolution.”

On August 20, 1991, Estonia, called the “singing nation,” successfully declared its independence as the Republic of Estonia.

Every five years, more than 100,000 people

come together in Tallinn, where they listen to choirs including 30,000 performers while a flame atop a 42-meter tower celebrates the country’s freedom. Because of its importance in forming a nation, the Estonia Song Festival is on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

Traditional master bath renovation for resale Priority 1: “I love to take baths, but the tub was just too small to really enjoy.”

Priority 3: “Create a timeless design for resale purposes.”

Before

TIMELESS DESIGN: Polished chrome hardware, lighting and plumbing were used to create a timeless and traditional design that is sure to cater to all crowds for resale purposes.

SHOWER FUNCTION: A rear bench and adjustable handheld shower allowed for a multi-purpose shower experience.

AFTER Priority 2: “Integrate handheld showerhead and bench for an improved shower experience.”

Priority 4: “Redesign the vanity for more usable storage and countertop space.”

Priority 5: “Recreate my grandmother’s floor design to honor her memory.”

THE VANITY: More storage and countertop space was created by lengthening the vanity by 6 inches and reversing the false front drawers.

Year Built: 1991 Project Type: Master Bathroom Neighborhood: Mallard Crossing Location: Indianapolis, IN

NEW TUB: The old tub deck was removed to make room for a larger soaker tub. A frameless glass enclosure gives an updated look.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

FLOORING: Custom black flowers were randomly included in the tile design as a way to honor a family member’s memory.
