City may ease process of building acessory units

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is attempting to address a shortage of low-income housing and downsizing DEVELOPMENT options for seniors by making it easier — and sometimes even required — to build accessory dwelling units.

Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, can come in many forms: A detached unit in a backyard, in a basement, above a garage or elsewhere. Often known as “mother-in-law quarters” or “granny flats,” they provide a separate, independent living space with its own entrance that is secondary to the main dwelling on the site.

Currently, homeowners must obtain approval for ADUs from the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals. The city is proposing a set of standards for the dwellings to make them an allowable use that would not require BZA approval, and the proposed ordinance requires that 20 percent of lots in new residential developments with 10 or more lots of 1 acre or less include them.

“We feel like accessory dwelling units can be a solution to high housing costs, limited developable land and the demand for intergenerational living. With carefully crafted standards, they can be built discreetly into the character of a new or existing neighborhood while making use of the existing street layout and utility infrastructure that is very costly for new development,” Adrienne Keeling, planning administrator

in the City of Carmel’s Dept. of Community Services, said at a June Carmel Plan Commission meeting.

The proposed ordinance allows only one ADU per lot, and it prohibits using the ADU as a short-term rental such as through Airbnb. ADUs are proposed to be between 400 and 1,300 square feet and not include more than two bedrooms. The ordinance would not override homeowner’s association rules, many of which prohibit ADUs. Janet Chilton, a Carmel resident of 25 years, said she supports the changes. She said she has been looking into options for her next home for years and has found limited opportunities for seniors in Carmel, where she wants to stay.

“My family all moved away. I thought about moving to Colorado, but the idea of picking up and moving far away is daunting,” she said. “This is where I live. This is where my friends are. I am a fan of what’s (developed) in Carmel in the last 25 years.”

Chilton, 68, said she is not interested in moving into a senior living community.

She’s considered building a detached accessory unit in the yard of a longtime friend, and the proposed changes could make it easier for her to do so, although she doubts her friend’s HOA would allow it. Still, she anticipates the changes could make it easier to find a good housing fit elsewhere in Carmel.

Other residents don’t think the proposal is a good idea.

Carmel resident Christina Shaughnessy said the plan could lead to increased densi-

ty and a strain on infrastructure.

“I’m very, very concerned that our peaceful, quiet neighborhood may be radically changed in a negative way,” she stated in a letter to the plan commission. “More people, pets, vehicles/traffic, noise, pollutants, stressors on infrastructure, stressors on recreational paths and parks, stressors on vital services just to name a few of the concerns.”

The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis stated in an email to the plan commission that it does not support requiring accessory dwellings in new developments.

“While we applaud Carmel for their consideration of housing affordability, we see the mandate for ADUs as hindering consumer choice,” BAGI Director of Government Affairs Kate Collins stated. “Buyers should have choices regarding which type of housing fits them best, and exterior accessory dwelling units hinder this. Construction costs would increase for for-sale properties, making homes less affordable. We would much prefer if this requirement was made optional.”

Some plan commissioners said they don’t support requiring ADUs in new developments, while commissioner Josh Kirsh said he would consider requiring them in more than 20 percent of new homes.

The commission’s residential committee is set to continue discussing the matter at its Sept. 1 meeting. The proposal will go before the full plan commission before heading to the Carmel City Council for a final vote.

Carmel middle schools pivot to hybrid model

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools announced Aug. 3 that its middle schools will offer a hybrid model of in-person and virtual learning when the school year begins Aug. 13.

EDUCATION Previously, only Carmel High School was offering a hybrid model, with middle and elementary school students attending in-person classes five days a week. Full virtual options are available for students of all ages.

“Our middle school administrative teams have been diligently working around the clock on scheduling and have determined that we cannot balance class sizes to appropriately social distance our in-person program,” CCS officials stated in an email to parents of middle school students.

Middle school students will be split into two groups based on their last name and attend in-person and virtually on alternating days. Students must commit to the virtual or hybrid model for the entire semester. Under the previous plan, students could choose a different plan after nine weeks of school.

Police confirm officer shot, killed suspect

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Police confirmed Aug. 2 that shots fired by a Carmel Police Dept. officer are what they believe led to the July 27 death UPDATE of Julio Cesar Virula.

Officers had been searching for Virula, who moments before allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend, Taylor Cox, 28, and shot her 66-year-old mother, who survived. Police said Virula raised a handgun toward a Carmel Police Dept. officer, who fired multiple shots with his patrol rifle to protect himself and other potential victims. Virula died in the 5300 block of Rippling Brook Way. An autopsy showed that Virula died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Police said the incident began with an

argument between Virula and the victims inside a residence in the 14300 block of Riverrock Court in Carmel’s Spring Creek neighborhood. Emergency dispatchers received a call during the argument at approximately 8 a.m. expressing concern that Virula was armed with a gun and threatening suicide. During the 911 call dispatchers heard gunshots.

Cox and her mother were shot multiple times before police arrived. Police located Virula, who fled the scene on foot, through 911 calls from other residents in the area.

The officer directly involved in the shooting has been temporarily reassigned during an administrative review of the incident.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information or evidence, such as video surveillance recordings, is asked to call the nonemergency dispatch line at 317-571-2580.

Townhomes OK’d on 146th St.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council voted 5-4 to approve rezoning for 15 townhomes on 146th Street west of Rolling CITY COUNCIL Hills Drive during an Aug. 3 meeting that grew contentious before the vote.

Estridge Development Management plans to build for-sale townhomes expected to cost between $400,000 and $500,000 on 1.3 acres of land near the Monon Greenway.

The site is completely surrounded by single-family homes.

Several nearby residents asked the council to reject the proposal, citing concerns about traffic, drainage and density.

Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider said he supported the project in part because 146th Street has changed since the homes were built decades ago. He said if the site were a good fit for single-family development it would have happened by now.

“We’re not here to do something harmful to Carmel. We don’t need this project to line the coffers to pay our bills,” he said. “It’s about a piece of land that used to be on a two-lane county road that is now more or

Fifteen townhomes are proposed on 1.3 acres at 146th Street and Rolling Hills Drive. (Submitted photo)

less an east-west highway.”

As Rider explained his reasons for supporting the project, security removed three remonstrators from the room after they repeatedly interrupted his comments.

Councilor Sue Finkam said she supported the project because she believes future proposals for the site would likely be commercial developments, which she feels would not be a good fit for the area.

Councilor Tim Hannon joined Miles Nelson, Bruce Kimball and Tony Green in voting against the project. He said he could not support it because of the density of 11.9 homes per acre compared to the 1.7 to 2.3 homes per acre in the surrounding neighborhood.

Committee split on expansion

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A proposal to add townhomes and a commercial node to the Jackson’s Grant neighborhood is JACKSON’S GRANT heading back to the Carmel City Council after a tie vote Aug. 5 at the committee level.

Land Use and Special Studies Committee members and city councilors Adam Aasen and Kevin “Woody” Rider voted in favor of the project, while Tony Green and Tim Hannon voted against it.

Republic Development is requesting a rezone of 20 acres on the northwest corner of 116th Street and Spring Mill Road for a mixed-use development that would include single-family homes, townhomes and a commercial node.

Jackson’s Grant residents have expressed mixed feelings about the proposal. Several residents spoke against the project at the committee meeting. One spoke in support, and said many of his neighbors agree.

Hannon said he is not in favor of the

project with the commercial node because of the remonstrance he’s heard from many residents who live near it. If the node is removed, developers can replace it with 18 townhomes.

“If I lived there, I might want an ice cream shop or something, but I don’t live there, so I have to go by their input,” Hannon said.

Rider said it is a “dangerous level of logic” to base a vote for a project primarily on remonstrance from residents who live right next to it. He said he’s seen several cases where residents were adamantly opposed to a nearby project but came to use and enjoy it once it was built.

“If we use that logic, probably threefourths of the projects I’ve voted on would not exist,” Rider said. “I think that would be a shame.”

Councilors asked the developers to put several of their commitments in writing, including clearly defining what types of businesses will be permitted in the commercial node and setting a completion date for an amenity center, before the city council takes a vote expected at its Aug. 17 meeting.

State officials support reopening schools, expect more COVID-19 cases

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com

Despite a rise in COVID-19 cases, positivity rates and hospitalizations, Indiana State Health Commissioner PANDEMIC Dr. Kristina Box said it is still important that Indiana reopens its schools.

“I get a lot of questions about whether schools should be reopening now because we have more cases than when schools were shut down in March,” Box said. “We shut things down in March to prevent a surge that would overwhelm our health care system.

That allowed us to build the infrastructure for testing and secure the needed ICU beds, (ventilators) and PPE to ensure hospitals could manage the outbreak for the longterm. We were successful in this effort, so the conversation now about schools reopening is really quite different.

“I continue to believe that our schools can safely reopen by (those in attendance) wearing masks, practicing social distancing and good hand-washing, cohorting students and ensuring people who are sick or who are close contacts of someone with COVID stay home. This does not mean our schools will be free of COVID. What it means is that we all need to do everything possible to limit the spread of COVID.” This month, many Indiana schools have opened or plan to reopen with mitigation efforts to stop or slow the spread of the virus. Some schools are offering in-person and remote learning opportunities. Many secondary schools have adopted a hybrid learning model, allowing older students in sequestered groups to attend in-person classes two or three days a week and learn remotely the remainder of the week. Other school systems have delayed reopening indefinitely.

To date, state officials have left reopening decisions to local leaders and school officials.

In the first days of the new academic year, multiple Indiana schools reported COVID-19 cases, some on the first day of in-person classes, causing other students and staff to quarantine.

The decision whether to conduct in-person classes comes as the state reports increased COVID-19 hospitalizations, daily

hospital admissions, positivity rates and cases. The number of daily tests conducted, however, also has increased. State officials reported 923 COVID-19 hospitalizations as of Aug. 4. On June 26, the state reported 595 hospitalizations, its lowest mark since a high of 1,579 on May 4.

On July 29, the state had a 7.4 percent seven-day average positivity rate, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. The rate measures the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back Box positive. Since mid-June, the rate has steadily risen. State officials reported a seven-day average positivity rate of 4.3 percent June 18, 6.3 percent July 4 and 7 percent July 14. The rate peaked at 14.5 pecent on May 3.

Although state officials expressed concern about the positivity rate, they acknowledged it varies by county and that mulitple factors could affect a county’s positivity rate. As of press time, Hamilton County had a positivity rate of 6.3 percent, according to the state’s online dashboard, which can be viewed at coronavirus.in.gov.

Some counties had positivity rates less than 5 percent, and others had rates higher than 15 percent.

State officials will continue to monitor positivity rates in Indiana counties, Box said, by examining the number of tests per 100,000 people, sources of outbreaks, emergency department visits for specific symptoms, emergency room visits and hospitalizations to help school and local officials make decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Box said there is no single statistical metric to objectively determine whether reopening a particular school would be safe.

She said that COVID-19 cases are expected in schools that allow contact sports.

“We have certainly seen cases from these contact sports,” Box said. “That’s to be expected. I’ve said all along that I think that this is a decision that will be made not only locally at the community level with the schools and the public health people in the community, but also individually for each family depending on that individual child’s health and the family’s health and who that individual child might bring an infection home to that lives in the same home.

The longest-running community event in Carmel will return this week, although it will look a bit different.

FISH FRY The Carmel Lion’s Club’s 82nd annual fish fry will serve lunch and dinner Aug. 14 drive-thru style only. Normally, the front yard of the clubhouse is filled with tables and tents as guests enjoy meals together.

The changes are in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re encouraging people to go to our website to pre-order their food, and we even have a map on how to get to our property,” club member Denisse Jensen said.

“Once they arrive, we’ll have people take their name so no one has to get out of their car. We’ll have all the food ready to hand to them and then they can drive on out and enjoy it at home.”

Jensen said safety plans are in place and the system has been set up to minimize contact.

“Everyone helping out will be wearing personal protective gear, and we’ve asked everyone to wear a mask when they come through the drive-thru,” Jensen said.

To personalize the menu to Carmel, the club is including special items, such as sandwiches named “The Roundabout” and “The Bike Lane.”

Funds raised from the fish fry will be donated to local causes the club supports, such as financial assistance for teachers, a diabetes camp for children and the Carmel United Methodist Church food pantry.

“This is much more than a meal. We are giving back to the community,” Jensen said.

“I’m proud that we were able to be innovative while still meeting the very high safety guidelines to make sure this event wasn’t canceled and to hopefully raise the funds needed to give back to the community, because there’s a lot of people that really need these resources.”

Lunch will be available from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Dinner hours are 4 to 7:30 p.m.

Pre-orders will be accepted through 11 p.m. Aug. 13. To learn more and pre-order food, visit carmel-lions.square.site/ carmel-lions-fish-fry-preorder.

Pandemic ends swimming career

Your CBD Store

®

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In her mind, Claire Adams envisioned a clear-cut finish to her competitive swimming career.

ATHLETICS The 2016 Carmel High School graduate would conclude her University of Texas career at the NCAA Championships in Indianapolis and then take one more shot at making the Olympics. Adams graduated from Texas in December 2019 and then started a three-semester postgraduate student teaching certification program.

“My plan for the last four years was to swim through the Olympic Trials of 2020 and likely be done after that because my student teaching program requires I’m in a classroom every single day after I get to the third semester,” she said. “So to balance swimming with essentially having a fulltime job was going to be really difficult.”

Then, like everyone, Adams was thrown a curve when the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of NCAA competitions, the postponement of the Summer Olympics to 2021 and the Olympic Trials for swimming were delayed until June 2021. So Adams, 22, made the decision to retire from competitive swimming.

“I did consider at the beginning of everything this summer, could I make it work?” said Adams, who won her third consecutive Big 12 Swimmer of the Year title earlier this year. “Could I have unconventional practice times and kind of be on my own? My coach was willing to cooperate with me and help me figure it out and make it the best program that I would need. I just decided at the end of the day I was ready to move forward and close that chapter of my life (and) focus on my student teaching and have a year to transition from being a student-ath-

lete to being a young professional.”

Adams broke her hand a week before the 2016 Olympic Trials. She had been seeded fourth in the 100-meter backstroke, but ended up finishing 46th.

“When we found we weren’t going to be competing in March, that was difficult because it felt like it was taken out of my control a second time the way that it was in 2016,” Adams said. “To be able to go to the Olympics would have been an amazing experience, don’t get me wrong, but I do feel I learned a lot more about myself and who I am as an athlete, a teammate and a person after what happened in 2016. I’ve done some cool things in swimming and met some cool people. That is what I’m taking from the experience.

“The situation now is entirely unprecedented, so it feels a little selfish to me to be so worked up about the fact that I didn’t get to swim a swim meet when I have great health and I have people around supporting me and loving me during this. I can’t complain.”

Adams, who won a record 16 state titles in 16 attempts for CHS, captured 23 Big 12 titles. She won six titles at the Big 12 Championships in February in Morgantown, SINCE 1993 W. Va.

IU Health North’s 1st COVID-19 patient’s battle provides new perspective

COVID-19 ‘TSUNAMI’ BEGINS

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Prinest Paschal’s life-and-death battle with COVID-19 adjusted his perspective on life.

“In pursuit of climbing that ladder, you miss things sometimes,” he said. “When you’re in the hospital and you can’t have visitors, you start reflecting on what is truly important. I feel I’ve had a change in my thinking process about family. Every day you get up you should be thankful you can get up and help someone, because people helped me.”

Prinest, who was the first patient with COVID-19 admitted at IU Health North in Carmel, was discharged April 29 after a 48-day stay. Upon his discharge, staff members lined the halls to applaud his recovery while The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” played over the intercom.

“There were a few nights where I was afraid to go to Prinest Paschal has been sleep,” Prinest said. “When I with the Indiana State Powake up, I’m very thankful to lice for more than 40 years. see light, whether it’s raining or not. I didn’t realize how serious it was until I was over the critical part.”

When the 67-year-old Carmel resident went to an immediate care facility March 8, it was originally believed he had a sinus infection. The following day he seemed worse and was dehydrated.

“I was getting weaker and weaker,” he said.

He was admitted to IU Health North March 12 after learning from X-rays that he had pneumonia.

“When we got to the ER, they put him on oxygen,” his wife, Brenda, said.

Brenda gave authorization to put her husband on a ventilator at 4:19 a.m. March 13, six hours after he was admitted.

Brenda said her husband can’t remember much about the ordeal from March 12 to April 12. Prinest was twice on a ventilator, the first time for 16 days.

“He came off on March 29 and aspirated on the 31st and he had to be put back on the ventilator for another 12 days,” Brenda said. “When he aspirated, (nurse practitioner) Katie (Fuller) called and said the next 48 hours will be crucial as to whether he’s on this side of the River Jordan or the next side of the River Jordan.”

Brenda said Dr. Robert Spech, a pulmonologist, asked if

the family, including sons Brandon Paschal, 39, and Everett Paschal, 37, wanted to put him on a ventilator a third time if necessary.

“That was a family decision, and the boys said put him on five or six times, because he’s been a (Indiana State Police) trooper for 43 years and patrolling the streets of Indiana for 30 years, so he deserves as many times as possible,” Brenda said. “I really appreciated the compassion Dr. Spech and the staff showed during that 48-hour period when we didn’t know which way he was going to go.”

“When you’re in the hospital and you can’t have visitors, you start reflecting on what is truly important.

I feel I’ve had a change in my thinking process about family.

Every day you get up you should be thankful you can get up and help someone, because people helped me.”

— Prinest Paschal

IU Health North pulmonologist Dr. Robert Spech said the hospital had been preparing for its first COVID-19 patient for a while. He realized Prinest Paschal was it when he first saw him.

“I didn’t need to see the test, because fortunately, he followed the textbook and had a lot of the symptoms,” Spech said. “We knew because of how quickly he deteriorated from the doctor’s office to the emergency room to Spech the ICU that he was going to be in for a long haul.”

Then other patients started arriving at IU Health North.

“It was the start of a tsunami, if you will,” he said. “We had many more patients come over the subsequent days and weeks.”

Brenda Paschal was confident her husband would survive under the hospital’s care.

“I never thought he would die. I just didn’t know what shape he would come home in,” Brenda said. “Their communication was fabulous throughout the whole process.”

After her husband was first put on a ventilator, Brenda said she emailed all her prayer warriors.

“I told him he’ll have to take a national tour to thank all the people that prayed for him,” Brenda said.

Gradually, Prinest has regained his strength.

“When I was released, I couldn’t go to the bank or out to eat,” he said. “I was very weak. I went to rehab for a week. It was hard to eat because I didn’t have an appetite. I couldn’t taste things at first. But I’ve got stronger each day.”

Prinest lost approximately 50 pounds from his ordeal, but has gained 25 pounds since leaving the hospital.

Prinest, who retired as an active police officer in 2005, was working in the Indiana State Police crime lab. He returned to work the week of July 6.

When Prinest got off the ventilator April 12, he did a FaceTime call with his sons.

“I looked at myself, and I had grown a beard, and it seemed like I was Rip Van Winkle,” Prinest said. “I had lost a lot of time.”

When Prinest first began recovery, he didn’t know he had COVID-19.

“He was watching television, and he said, ‘Look at all these people dying from COVID,’” Brenda said. “I thought, ‘He doesn’t realize he had it, so how do we tell him he’s still testing positive for this?’ So we were on eggshells. The boys and I and the hospital educated him on where he was.

He was off the ventilator nine days when he got a negative test, and that was another hallelujah time.”

Evidence of systemic racism

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, I’m glad that more conversation is happening about race issues. I believe our ethnic differences can be a source of enrichment rather than tension and conflict. It may feel like structural racism doesn’t exist if you haven’t personally experienced the pain it inflicts and aren’t aware of the “privileges” it confers to white people.

(In a recent column Matt) Rowe argued that police don’t systematically target Black men. A Stanford study of 93 million traffic stops showed Black drivers are 20 percent more likely to get pulled over than white drivers, despite being a much smaller percentage of the population, and Black drivers are more frequently searched than white drivers.

Moreover, until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Black people were ‘legally’ denied voting rights. There were no Blacks, and few other people of color or women, in the U.S. Senate in 1965. Consider all the legislating that’s taken place without diverse perspectives to help shape policy. For American society to fulfill its promise of liberty and justice for all, we each need to be honest with ourselves and think and act in ways that support equal treatment and opportunity.

Anne Altor, Carmel

Among the many changes delivered by the proliferation of media outlets is subspecialty programming. For decades, television ran at a consistent cadence.

It had limited choice and very high control. Viewers could either tune into one of the three major networks, which aligned their schedules to identical time and style, or catch one of the lessthan-a-handful of independents as they delivered reruns of network stock or the occasional lesser sporting event. We all watched the news at the same time, and we all came to expect that family drama would begin and end within the 22 minutes squeezed in between the commercials and opening and closing credits.

Evidence of the change is this month’s annual return of Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week.” It includes hours of new programming aimed at all things about the apex predator of the high seas and their often bloody interactions with humans. The cable network promises to deliver dozens of hours of themed product that, even when discounted for the countless ads, is sure to bring some learning about the impressive animals.

Fans will attest that the producers have found a formula and have stuck with it. They build anticipation by use of short, often ominous, outlines — then cut to commercial. “You may die on this Florida beach, standby for more information.”

Then, they explore a years-old attack and cut to a modern study that might explain the circumstance. “Is it safe to go back into the water?” Again, commercial. From there, they wrap up with something that seems like an answer but always with a caveat: “Scientists disagree on the variables and impact — more study is required.” It is all very exciting but intellectually unsatisfying. Is it safe to get into the water or not? How much death risk is a day of fun and exercise worth?

I just can’t ‘Belize’ it Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my husband, Doo, is having a midlife crisis, and if my memory is correct, this is his second in 10 years.

HUMOR Perhaps the first was simply a warmup, or maybe he’s going to now make it to 100. Regardless, amidst all the other shtick that’s currently hitting the stupid proverbial fan, I’m dealing with a partner who spent the weekend researching live-aboard sailboats in Belize.

That’s right! Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD. Not immediately, of course. We still have one kid in high school and three who may or may not be staying put, depending on the COVID-19 status of their colleges. There’s also a rather pesky ban on all international travel. But according to Doo, this is happening soon.

So, he’s looking for trial-run opportunities, first to see if he can actually captain a

boat in open water, and second, to ensure we won’t kill each other in such a confined space. Forget our commitment to paying off credit cards or the other small vacays we already have on the books (Murrell’s Inlet, S.C., 2021!), Doo’s focused on weeklong excursions featuring taglines like “off the grid” and “a yachter’s paradise.”

However, as the self-appointed monitor of the purse strings and the official Chez Wilson reality checker, I’ve been less than supportive.

Doo is calling me “Destroyer of Dreams.”

But I’m not in crisis.

I love my work, I like our home and I am perfectly content with our yearly Carolina vacays. I’m also fairly confident that, like last time, this, too, shall pass. Peace out.

That’s right!

Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD.

Police cartoon in poor taste Editor, I certainly am not one to reach out and comment on others opinions and beliefs, although I have been doing a lot of biting my tongue concerning our social revolution.

The cartoon (depicting police in a lineup) that recently appeared in Current in Carmel was in poor taste and took a cheap shot at one of the very rocks of our country’s foundation. Of course there are police who are “bad” and shouldn’t be wearing a badge, but that percentage I am sure is less than any other profession. Police officers are people like us that are fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and friends.

They are put in positions where their very lives are on the line and they most always are reactive instead of proactive, which

constantly puts them at a great disadvantage. They are spit on, yelled obscenities at, and physically challenged by crazy people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. And yet they have to control that person and try to get back home to hug their kids and spouse.

The cartoon depicting police was a lame representation of our police. Across the country many police have resigned because of the lack of support, and their loss will be felt by the citizens.

So when your house is being broken into, when you are stranded in winter, when your car breaks down or when you are being robbed, think about who you would call for help; it just maybe one of those “cops” in the lineup.

Public participation limited at meetings during pandemic Editor, In early July, the Carmel City Council switched back from holding virtual meetings to holding meetings inside the council chambers at City Hall.

Residents wanting to speak at a public hearing must do so in person.

However, because of social-distancing requirements, seating is very limited.

Also, because the coronavirus pandemic is still with us, many residents who would have otherwise spoken at recent public hearings have stayed home due to legitimate health concerns.

Multiple requests have been made to the council to allow brief written statements to be emailed in advance and then read aloud by a neutral party at public hearings. At this time, the council is unwilling to permit this.

The current arrangement clearly favors the developers and their paid representatives, who attend and speak at the public hearings as usual. But the residents in opposition to development proposals are now under-represented.

The effect of filling the council chambers with opponents is not possible, and many voices are not heard. The news media cannot report on the true strength of the opposition because they cannot see and hear it directly.

Yes, citizens can still call and email city councilors. But the only way for citizen comments to be publicly heard and entered into the public record is to speak at a public hearing, and that has become problematic.

Most of the incumbent councilors likely prefer the current setup because it limits the collective voice in opposition to the many development projects proposed in residential areas that the council so routinely approves.

The city council will not be motivated to change this system unless the public applies pressure. Please let councilors know that you support the idea of allowing brief written statements from residents to be read aloud by a neutral party at all public hearings.

Wishful memories at WISH-TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My friend Bob Haverstick founded an organization in 2001 known as Never Too Late, which granted some HUMOR 2,000 final wishes to senior citizens during a period of a dozen years. I had the honor of showcasing many of these requests being fulfilled on my WISH-TV segments. Here are some of my favorites: Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver. Albert and Esther landed within moments of each other. I ran over with a microphone to get their reactions.

“Make sure you ask both of us,” Esther said. “I can hardly see anything, and Albert can hardly hear anything.”

In her late 70s, things were slowing down for Eloise and she wanted one last chance to do something racy. Her request was to barrel down the track at Indianapolis Raceway Park in a dragster. On live TV, Eloise got in the back of a two-seater car, buckled her harness and off she went at 170 mph. Seconds later, she crossed the finish line. I assumed that was going to be one of the highlights of her life, but she looked disappointed.

“How was it?” I asked.

“Well,” she huffed, “I thought I was going to drive.”

Jimmy Dunham was an Indianapolis 500 mechanic (in his day, mechanics rode with

the driver) but Jimmy had not been to a race since he and driver Kelly Petillo were victorious in 1935. In 2005, Never Too Late flew Jimmy and family in from California to see the race. Prior to the start, Jimmy studied the field and correctly predicted Dan Weldon would cross the finish line first. So, for the second time in 70 years, Jimmy Dunham was a winner, Paul and Georgia were celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary. They were both 100 years old and Paul had been a fan of my segments.

“I’ve been watching you since I was a little boy,” he said when he met me.

They were both lucid, but Georgia had been experiencing some memory loss.

During the interview, Paul disclosed the key to their long marriage: “We have never had a fight in 80 years.” Hearing that, Georgia responded: “And they think I’m the one with Alzheimer’s.”

Anna, who was turning 100, requested to meet me in person. I went to her 100th birthday celebration at a square dance. Then, I went to her 101st birthday, then 102nd, 103rd, 104th and 105th — where she whispered in my ear, “This is too tiring for me. Let’s just do it every three years.”

Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver.

Pandemic leads to increase in new patients at Trinity Free Clinic

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Mel Wischmeyer wanted to be as prepared as possible for her potential new job as executive director of LEADERSHIP Trinity Free Clinic.

“Ironically, I purchased a book back in January when I first started talking to (TFC) called, ‘The First 90 Days,’” she said. “But there was not a chapter on what to do if you start your job during a pandemic.”

Wischmeyer The Westfield resident started her new role in early May, during a time the clinic was shut down to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“It’s actually been a blessing because I have really been able to ease into learning about all of the different services and clients and providers that make the clinic what it is,” Wischmeyer said.

The clinic at 1045 W. 146th St. in Carmel offers free medical, dental and health services to Hamilton County residents who are uninsured, underinsured or low income.

Since gradually reopening after an eightweek shut down, Wischmeyer said the need for the clinic’s free services has increased as the pandemic has led to layoffs and furloughs in Hamilton County and beyond, with many of those affected also losing health insurance.

In 2018, the clinic served 3,220 patients at 6,362 visits. The value of services provided was nearly $1.5 million.

Wischmeyer said she has previously been a single parent without health insurance and understands how difficult that can be.

“I worried how I was going to provide

good health care for my children,” she said. “You don’t expect that need exists in Hamilton County. Everyone thinks it’s all affluence. But there are a lot of people that need the free services to overcome current hurdles to get them to the next phase to get them healthy.”

Wischmeyer, who has a background in communications and fundraising, said her initial goals are to increase awareness of the clinic, alert potential donors of the good work done there and recognize the clinic’s many volunteers. “(Most of) the doctors and nurses and the people that work here are working full-time, demanding jobs,” she said. “They come home, they are worn out, yet they still make the time to serve our client base.

I think that’s beautiful, and it speaks to their commitment to ensure good health for everyone.”

Most of the clinic’s services have resumed, although walk-ins will not be accepted during the pandemic. The clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 9 a.m. to noon Friday. Schedule an appointment by calling 317-819-0772, and learn more at TrinityFreeClinic.org.

Tattoo shop features art shows

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Hockman and Matt Carrel found they had similar philosophies in working together for more than two NEW BIZ years.

“We like similar things. We like the same kind of art,” Hockman said.

“Our ideas of what a tattoo shop should be are very similar, and how we treat clientele are spot-on the same. We’re just trying to bring a new level of tattooing to Carmel.”

On July 29, the co-owners opened Forever Gallery Tattoo, a custom tattoo studio that will feature art shows, in Carmel City Center’s Nash Building, 858 S. Range Line Rd. “We are running an art gallery in the space and hoping to rotate shows every four to six weeks, so there is always something new on the walls,” Carrel said.

Carrel, 42, a Zionsville resident, and Hockman, 43, a Westfield resident, previously worked together at a Carmel tattoo studio.

Hockman said the idea of combining an art gallery and tattoo studio is a new concept.

“People are going to walk into a tattoo

shop who have never walked into a tattoo shop,” Hockman said. “The artwork will be from professional artists. We are going to bring in tattoo artists who are fine-art masters. The show is going to showcase those professionals just like an art gallery would. We are going to dedicate (the time) between shows to the Herron School of Art and Design.”

Hockman said they plan to reach out to Carmel, Westfield and Zionsville high schools to see if they have top senior artists who would like to do a show for a week.

Client/Filename:

Kevin Paul has some specific plans for his third Carmel establishment.

“I wanted a small, NEW BIZ open-tavern concept that you would find on the East Coast, an old school-type pub with an open-air environment and super social,” Paul said. “We tried to capture some of the concepts that have been super successful at Brockway Pub and Danny Boy.” Paul and his wife, Megan, own Brockway Pub, an Irish pub, and Danny Boy Beer Works, an industrial brew pub.

The GOAT, which stands for the Greatest of All Taverns, is open to guests 21-and-older. The GOAT replaces Bub’s Cafe, which closed after 12 years in October 2019, along the Monon Greenway south of Main Street.

“The Midtown development has been a tremendous success in my eyes,” Paul said.

“We’ve been watching this area for a while.

This embraces the active pedestrian, cycling community which Carmel has hung its hat on.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept kitchen in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE CHALLENGE This 2011 home is in The Woods at Thorpe Creek neighborhood in Fishers. Previously, the kitchen had been walled off from the living area, with only a small pass-through to connect the two. The homeowners wanted to make the kitchen feel more connected to the rest of the home.

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The wall separating the kitchen and living room was removed and a new, larger island with sink and plenty of seating was added.

2. Storage is abundant in the new space, with a wall of custom cabinetry and drawers. Some of the cabinets feature seeded glass panels.

3. The homeowners chose to mix two countertop styles — quartz for the island and stovetop area and wood block for the wall of storage.

4. The tone-on-tone backsplash is laid in a double herringbone pattern for a subtle yet sophisticated statement.

Youth ensemble production opens at Westfield Playhouse

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School senior Rosie Allenson had to expand her creative skills.

Allenson plays three difTHEATER ferent roles in the ensemble performance of “The Monologue Show” for Westfield Playhouse’s youth production.

“It’s more characterization work because you want the audience to have a clear understanding you are playing three different people,” Allenson said. “It was a lot more work in creating three completely different characters, but the writer (Don Zolidis) really helps with that. He’s brilliant.

Each monologue is incredibly unique.

“The Monologue Show” will be the first production in the new Westfield Playhouse at 220 N. Union St. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 14 and 15 and 2:30 p.m. Aug. 16.

“I have had some experience before doing ensemble-type shows and played different characters, but not as starkly contrasting as these three girls I’m playing,” Allenson said. “I love the characterization process no matter what show I’m in, and this was especially fun since I got to do that times three.”

The cast has been rehearsing in person in face masks since July 29. Previously, it was rehearsing virtually.

“We’re going to perform in face shields so you can see all the expressions,” Allenson said.

Tanya Haas, a Carmel resident, is the only adult member in the 12-person cast, playing Mrs. Banks, the teacher. Her son, Charlie, a Cathedral High School sophomore, also is in the cast. They acted in Carmel Community Players’ “Dad’s Christmas Miracle” in 2016 along with Christian Baltz, a Carmel resident who also is in the show.

“Funny enough, I played their teacher in that show as well,” Haas said.

Haas has been in three other Westfield Playhouse shows.

“I have been a big supporter of the

Westfield Playhouse over the years,” she said. “Besides appearing in shows myself, most of my children have also appeared in Westfield shows over the years. When (producer) Tom Smith pointed out to me that I would be speaking the very first lines on the new stage, I was really honored. Originally, I was scheduled to direct a full youth production for the Playhouse this summer, which I was very excited for. When current circumstances made that production unwise to produce due to social distancing guidelines, the idea for this show came up. I did not feel I was the best person to direct a monologue show, so I happily turned the new show over to Brandi Davis. When the opportunity arose for me to actually be in the show, I was more than happy to take the role. Having worked with a few of the young cast members previously as an actor or director, and having seen quite a few of them in other productions, I knew it would be a unique and fun show.

“The cast has absolutely amazed me with their level of preparation, profession-

alism and talent. I know the cast, as a whole, is extremely proud to be a part of the first production in this beautiful new theater.”

Charlie plays three characters.

“It’s a little odd having a lot of the people playing multiple characters, including myself, but I feel like it works really well, and everyone brings so much to the characters they play,” he said. “It’s also interesting to see how people react to what’s going on as the characters they’re playing at the moment.”

Davis, from Elwood, is the director. Jadin Payton, Davis’ son, is playing three roles.

“The biggest challenge is COVID-19 and keeping them socially distant on the stage while still staging the show,” Davis said.

“I spent two hours on the stage (July 30) marking the stage to keep them apart. The staging keeps them 6 feet separate at all times. There are a couple of pass-throughs but when they are sitting and standing, they have to stay 6 feet apart from one another.”

For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

Due to increased restrictions on entertainment venues in Indianapolis because of COVID-19, Beef & Boards THEATER Dinner Theatre will take an unprecedented second intermission this season, starting Aug. 10.

Since reopening in July after postponing shows due to the pandemic, Beef & Boards has worked diligently to make entertainment in its venue as safe as possible with its comprehensive responsible reopening plan that included plated meals, reduced audience sizes, spaced seating of parties, germicidal lighting in all air handlers and mask requirements for all. However, with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett’s restricted audience size reduced to 25 percent, it is simply not sustainable to continue productions at this time. The theater’s plan is to reopen in the fall.

“It breaks my heart to take this ‘time out’,” stated Doug Stark, owner of Beef & Boards. “However, for the safety of the Beef & Boards Family and their guests, it’s the grownup thing to do. Please stay happy and healthy, and we sincerely hope we can play again in the fall.”

of bacon (lamb, black pepper or yam for the vegetarians out there) and is topped with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese.

It’s served with a side of roasted potatoes, greens and skhug sauce, a type of hot sauce often used in Yemeni cuisine.

Fishers Parks to hold concerts

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In a normal summer, Fishers Parks Dept. would present multiple concerts per week.

Although nothing about 2020 MUSIC is normal, Fishers Parks Director Sarah Sandquist said the department wanted to have something for the public, so it created the Fishers Pop-Up Concert Series.

“We approached this series with caution for changing times and to ensure we could ensure concertgoers would be able to distance and enjoy the concert safely. We intentionally started with a small series in order to gain proof of concept before adding additional events to our schedule,” Sandquist said.

Toy Factory performed July 24 with two shows at Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, also called the NDP AMP. Huckleberry Funk, a rhythm and blues band based in Bloomington, is scheduled to perform at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Aug. 21.

“The first event was great,” Sandquist said. “Concertgoers stayed in the squares we painted on the ground and everyone

showed up with their mask and kept it on in public walkways where distancing was not possible.”

Sandquist estimates typical attendance for past concerts at approximately 5,000.

Sandquist said the concert was near capacity for the 6:30 p.m. show and the plan was to clear the lawn before the 8:30 show.

“Our lines were much shorter at the gates for the 8:30 p.m. show so we did not clear the (area),” Sandquist said. “With the mix of 6:30 and 8:30 attendees, we were near capacity.”

Honoring Mary Magdalene Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most beautiful buildings in Jerusalem honors a woman falsely labeled a prostitute almost 1,500 years TRAVEL ago.

According to the Christian New Testament, Mary Magdalene (Mary of Magdala) supported Jesus’ ministry financially and witnessed his crucifixion and burial. Some biblical accounts say the risen Jesus appeared first to her. In A.D. 591., Pope Gregory I preached a sermon claiming, without any legitimate basis, that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. That claim gained acceptance within the Roman Catholic Church but was rejected by the Orthodox Church, which recognizes St. Mary Magdalene as “equal-to-the-Apostles.”

Mary Magdalene was the patron saint of Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the mother of Czar Alexander III. In 1881, a year after his mother died, Alexander visited a Russian Orthodox mission in Jerusalem and was persuaded to build a church honoring his mother on the western slope of the Mount of Olives overlooking the Garden of Gethsemane. The church, featuring sev-

en gold onion domes, each topped by an Orthodox cross, and a sandstone exterior finished to resemble marble, was built in 1888 and dedicated to Mary Magdalene. The interior includes a large painting illustrating a legend that Mary Magdalene appeared in Rome before Emperor Tiberius, protesting the killing of Jesus by Pontius Pilate. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria who converted to Orthodoxy when she married Alexander III’s brother, Sergie, commissioned the church’s artwork. When Sergei was assassinated in 1905, Elizabeth became a nun and founded a Moscow convent. In 1918, Elizabeth and Sister Barbara, a fellow nun, were among those tossed into a mineshaft and killed by the Bolsheviks. The bodies of these now sainted women lie in marble sarcophagi in the church. The church is also home to about 30 nuns of the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene, established in 1936.
