U.S. Sec. of Interior visits Carmel’s parks

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel visited Carmel on Thursday to help promote renewal of the Land and Water Conservation Fund – the 50-year-old program that allows for funding to protect parks lands for parks across the country.

Jewell met with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and toured the Flowing Well Park, the city’s first park which was created through funding help from this very program.

It is parks like these that make an impact in people’s lives, something the secretary hopes members of Congress will remember.

“When you look at this park,” she said overlooking the creek, “you see that this isn’t abstract. This is very tangible. This park is very real.”

The park, which is located off of 116th Street and Gray Road, features an artisan well, believed to be found in 1904. Carmel residents are known to stop by and fill their water jugs at the park, which sits on 47 acres. It was in the late 1980s that the Land and Water Conservation Fund helped with the $75,000 needed to found the park. Brainard said he thinks it would be valued at a quarter of a million dollars today.

“It was funding from that program which allowed us to make this parkland more accessible to the public

ON THE WEB Assault arrest

On Aug. 6, Carmel police responded to the 11600 block of Rosemeade Drive in Carmel after a call was made stating that there was a domestic dispute involving a weapon.

John Sommerkamp, 67, of Carmel said that his estranged wife Sheryl Sommerkamp, 65, fired a weapon at him inside their home. The bullets did not strike or injure anyone, however John did sustain minor injuries from a physical struggle with Sheryl. To read more about this case, visit www.currentincarmel.com.

through the addition of trails, bridges and parking,” he said. “This transformed an Artesian Well into the Flowing Well Park, with more than a mile of trail through a heavily wooded section of our city.”

Brainard met Jewell while he was visiting the White House as a member of the President’s Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience.

Jewell is traveling the country to support the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which is set to expire soon. Established in 1964, the program does not use taxpayer dollars. Instead, its primary revenue source comes from a portion of federal oil and gas leases on the Outer Continental Shelf. Only once has Congress appropriated funding at the full authorized level of $900 million. And often pundits have criticized Congress for raiding this fund for other pet projects.

“As we look to the next 50 years, we need to ensure that we continue this great legacy by fully and permanently funding this innovative program,” Jewell said.

Brainard emphasized that he feels supporting the parks system is not a partisan issue and that he hasn’t met a Democrat or a Republican that doesn’t enjoy Carmel’s parks.

“History shows us that caring for our precious resources has been a priority for great presidents of both parties, and I hope it always will be,” he said.

Blondin scholarships increased – For the first time since the Carmel Chamber’s Nancy Blondin Scholarship began in 2000, the Chamber is awarding two scholarships this year instead of one. Recent high school graduates George Gemelas and Amy Wilkinson will be honored with scholarships at the Chamber’s Aug. 13 luncheon at Ritz Charles.

The Chamber has been able to build its scholarship fund with contributions from First Merchants Bank, Leaf Software Solutions, NextGear Capital, St.Vincent Carmel Hospital and Travel Leaders Indianapolis. The scholarship fund campaign is ongoing.

Aspire opens new clinic – Aspire Indiana has announced that it will open an outpatient clinic at Carmel-based Chaucie’s Place, specifically for the treatment of survivors of child sexual abuse. Children, adolescents and adults will be seen at the Chaucie’s Place clinic. The clinic will be staffed by a licensed mental health social worker who is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a therapy model that is researchbased and treats the trauma of child sexual abuse, rather than the manifestations of that trauma, like depression or anxiety. To book an appointment, call Aspire Indiana at 1-877574-1254 or visit www.aspireindiana.org .

Native tree sale – It’s time again for the Hamilton County SWCD’s fall native tree sale. Orders are being accepted for 30 different varieties of native trees and shrubs. All trees and shrubs are $22 plus tax and three to five feet tall at delivery. Orders and payment are due by Sept. 24 and trees can be picked up on Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in the llama barn.

City Council recap

Compiled by Adam Aasen

What Happened: A public commenter questioned Mayor Jim Brainard and the City Council about who was responsibile for cutting street-repair budgets over the years.

What It Means: Bob Wallace, a regular attendee at council meetings, gave a detailed presentation with budget figures during the public comment portion of the meeting.

Street repair is a main focus, which affects drainage issues in areas such as Emerson Road and potholes throughout the city. Brainard claims he never wanted to cut the street repairs fund, but the City Council forced him to cut the budget and there was no other place to do it. Councilor Rick Sharp disagreed, saying he asked the mayor to make cuts elsewhere. Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider said both sides are somewhat inaccurate because he remembers the council and Brainard mutually agreeing to cut the streets budget.

What’s Next: With the new Storm Water utility bringing in revenue, it should alleviate some street repairs concerns.

Cutco is right for everyone in your life!

Celebrate that special someone and give a gift that lasts

forever.

What Happened: The City Council questions the Carmel Redevelopment Commission (CRC) about the recent report on tax increment finance (TIF) revenue shortfalls.

What It Means: As reported in Current weeks ago, the CRC recently hosted a presentation from Umbaugh and Associates about projected TIF revenue and ongoing debt obligations. The CRC faces $43 million in shortfalls over the life of its debts, but CRC officials say they fortunately had the foresight to set up a reserve fund – from the Parkwood TIF district – that can cover these shortfalls. Sharp said, “It is so razor-thin,” that the budget needs to be confronted now before it becomes a problem. City Councilor Sue Finkham said she believes assessed values will increase – which is not considered in projections – which means more tax revenue. In the past, Brainard circulated a chart that he said shows that there is sufficient funds to cover any debt payments.

What’s Next: The debate continues…

FREE

of your Cutco knives

What Happened: An ordinance remains in committee regarding the Edward Rose development using TIF district money to repay bonds.

What It Means: The developer is asking the council to allow it to use 75 percent of all TIF money raised as a result of its new project, an $80 million mixed-used development called The District located near the Old Meridian roundabout. This project is projected to raise about $11 million in revenue for the developer to repay bonds, which would be secured by the developer and will not present risk to the city.

ON THE SPOT!* *Some exclusions may apply.

What’s Next: The Finance, Administration and Rules Committee will hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 to deal with this issue only. If everything holds, construction could be complete by 2018.

Council to review Monon Lake

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Some Neighbors’ Objections

A controversial new housing development – which received a negative recommendation from the Carmel Planning Commission – is now being considered by the Carmel development City Council.

Representatives from M/I Homes presented their plan for the Monon Lake planned-unit development, which would be located north of I-465, near the Monon Trail and Range Line Road.

Organized protestors, from nearby neighborhoods such as College Meadows, Marwood and Orchard Park, filled the council chambers to voice their displeasure. They feel the project creates dangerous traffic concerns, could harm the environment and is too densely plotted for the area. Many city officials have shared their concerns, leading to unanimously negative votes from the entire plan commission and its subdivision committee.

Some city councilors expressed trepidation, but the proposal was sent to the council’s Land Use, Annexation and Economic Development Committee where details can be discussed.

Joshua Kirsh, member of the plan commission and the parks board, spoke against the proposal, saying he feels that this rezone is just a way to cram more homes into a small amount of land.

The area is already zoned for 28 homes but M/I Homes is asking to build 43.

“This might be crass for me to say, but this is an obvious attempt to subjugate our zoning laws

• Using existing residential roads as traffic through roads could create hazards because of the abundance of cyclists, joggers and children playing in the area.

• Congestion could occur on College Avenue.

• Drainage problems could be created.

• Building 43 homes in close proximity is out of character with the area.

• There could be environmental damage if you tear down the wooded area to build these homes.

• With several empty nester projects in the works nearby, such as the recent acquisition of Sunrise Golf Course, this space would be the only green space or potential parks space left in the area.

to accomplish a feat that couldn’t be done any other way,” he said.

Kirsh admitted some of his critics say he overvalues the environmental features of the area.

Some have called the lake “slime lake” and feel it’s not a beautiful area, but Kirsh said that’s beside the point. To him, it’s an area worth preserving.

“No amount of beer bottles or cars in the lake suddenly makes this a neighborhood instead of an area for a green space,” he said.

The developer presented its plan, which highlighted an area which they will donate to the parks department to preserve some of the natural environment.

The proposal will be discussed at the council’s Land Use Committee meeting on Aug. 26.

Weight limit law to be enforced

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

A photo of a truck driving through downtown Carmel was taken by a resident living nearby. From now on, the trucks will be forced to take roads better suited to accommodate heavy vehicles.

(Submitted photo)

Street to Old Meridian, Main Street from Illinois Street to Keystone Parkway, 116th Street from Illinois Street to Rohrer Road and Illinois Street from 116th Street to 136th Street. Local deliveries would be an exception.

The ordinance is in response to many trucks cutting through these roads because of construction on U.S. 31. City officials are concerned about increased wear and tear on these streets because of the added traffic.

City Council President Eric Seidentsticker said he expects trucking companies to adapt.

“They know it’s there,” he said. “Their logistics teams don’t want to see them lose time and get fined.”

Residents are urged to report any weight limit violators by calling the non-emergency police dept. number at 571-2500.

Outdoor diners were enjoying a meal on Carmel’s Main Street one night when a large semitruck started making its way down roads the narrow, two-lane road.

Not only did onlookers say they were concerned about the weight limit on the roads, but it appeared this tall truck might hit the overhanging traffic lights on Range Line Road.

“He’s not going to make it, just watch,” one diner said.

Sure enough, the truck hit the lights and police were called on the scene.

Onlookers wondered aloud why the trucks continue to drive down Carmel’s historic downtown when the City Council already passed a law clearly banning such oversized vehicles from certain streets.

That’s because enforcement had not kicked in yet. Carmel’s street dept. recently put up signs to alert truckers of the law change, but before there was signage the law couldn’t have been enforced.

“The police department is aware that the signs are up and I had a talk with the chief and he said have a plan in place to enforce so the word will get out,” City Councilor Rick Sharp, sponsor of the bill, said.

Passed unanimously last month, the ordinance adds the following streets to the existing code: Old Meridian Street, Guilford Road from 116th

Pulling for special athletes

By Allison Mayer • news@currentincarmel.com Kylene Webber, a 34-year-old resident of Carmel and 2000 graduate of Carmel High School, blossoms in Special Olympics charity and her father, Al Webber, is very proud. Next to her princess bed and her collection of every Holiday Barbie, hangs a wall full of gold, sliver, and bronze medals that any athlete would be envious of. She’s been participating in Special Olympics Indiana for the last 25 years. She enjoys golf, speed walking, bowling, and basketball, just to name a few.

Several years ago a young woman from Australia named Madi Webb, came to stay with the Webber’s for a couple months and experience life in America. She decided to stay for college and now Kylene and her ‘Aussie Sister’ Madi love participating in Special Olympic unified events.

Unified events are when teams of competitors consist of Special Olympic Athletes, as well as non-athletes such as Madi. They are well known in the Special Olympics Indiana community as the “Webb’ers” given the similarities in their last names.

Perhaps one of the most interesting events Kylene has participated in is the FedEx Plane Pull Challenge at the Indianapolis International Airport. Al Webber points out that this event originated with Special Olypics Indiana, but has since been picked up by other Special Olympics around the country, probably because it’s so

much fun and draws growing numbers of people each year.

In 2011 Kylene and Madi were on not one, but two winning teams pulling a 757 jumbo jet 12 feet in 6.9 seconds. According to Kylene its really not that hard and a lot of fun. The FedEx Plane Pull Challenge raises money and awareness to benefit Special Olympics of Indiana. This year it takes place on Saturday, Sept. 6. Admission is free and open to the public. There’s plenty of fun and community. Teams not only participate to see who can pull the fasted but there are also fun categories like Best Team Costume, Most Team Spirit, and Top Fundraiser.

Carmel Lions fish fry is a must Commentary by Jeff Worrell Maybe you are new to town. If so, it’s not your fault if you don’t know about the August tradition. It’s often volunteerism compared to ordering BBQ in Kansas City or a Po’Boy sandwich in New Orleans. But this Carmel custom is more than just a food must-have.

It is also a must-do. Just like visiting Rome and tossing a coin in Trevi Fountain. Or, when in New York a ride to the top of the Empire State Building. For Carmel old-timers and newcomers alike, the Lions Club Fish Fry is not just a musteat, but also a must-do.

A must-do because of their worthy charitable mission and the authentic, down home dining experience. Lions in Carmel wake up many mornings thinking about not just how to serve Carmel, but how can they serve the blind and people with limited sight. Since 1925 when Helen Keller first addressed the national convention of Lions and challenged their membership to take on this cause, recycling eyeglasses has been a primary focus. The litany of organizations who benefit from the Fish Fry proceeds are too large to reproduce here. But, let’s be clear – if it weren’t for the Carmel Lions, many organizations would be negatively affected.

Customers have noticed and applauded the car hop service added in recent years. Place your order, pay and receive it piping hot without leaving your car in the drive thru off of 1st Street SE. What hasn’t changed is how the fish is prepared. For 76 years, the Lions have been lightly hand breading each delicate piece of Icelandic Cod with their secret recipe. Legend has it that the secret part is because nobody can remember where the recipe came from, but everyone agrees it should never be changed.

The sports dilemma at the largest high school in Indiana

By Julie Osborne • julie@youarecurrent.com

The best of the best. This is Carmel High School sports. One hundred thirty state championships proves it. But, what about the rest, the ones who don’t make the cover story team? It comes down to numbers – 12, 22, 9, 7, 4855, to name a few. They are the varsity team roster spots for girls and boys basketball, soccer, golf, and tennis, respectively, with 4,855 the 2014 enrollment to Carmel High School as of press time.

“In my oldest son’s class in sixth grade, we had 32 boys playing on pups. By the time they were freshmen, only 14 kids tried out. By senior year, there were only four left who played,” Carmel father Jim Roop said. “I have no doubt you could walk the halls of Carmel High School and put together three or four teams of kids who could win a state basketball championship.

There’s so many [expletive] kids.”

When students are cut or quit the competitive track, the school has options like football, swimming, and cross country which are open to all students. Carmel High School Athletic Director, Jim Inskeep, encourages students to try new sports and clubs and not be too focused on one sport at a young age.

“We would love to have a place for everyone but, at the end of the day, there are only so many spots. There are no guarantees, some things are in your control and some are out of your control,” Inskeep said. “We provide intramurals and Carmel Dads’ Club to satisfy a love for the activity and another option. The worst thing is to become a 7:30-(a.m.)-to-3-p.m. student. It usually leads to poor decision making and a different circle of friends.”

Carmel Dads’ Club, a non-profit formed in 1959 by a group of Carmel fathers, has eleven sports available with approximately 1400 high school students in the program. Roop has been actively involved in CDC with his three sons as a coach, volunteer, and board member.

“I don’t think the school could have grown to the point it is without the Dads’ Club being there to provide a competitive outlet for these kids. It keeps kids active and out of trouble,” Roop said.

The Cost of Making the Team

Making the team comes with great cost and sacrifice. Zoe Woods knows this sacrifice well as a freshman who secured one of the coveted seven varsity spots playing number three

singles.

“I love playing, but I don’t have time to do anything else but tennis and homework. I’m usually up until eleven every night,” Woods said. “It’s a big sacrifice, but it’s a good sacrifice. I don’t ever look back and wish I did something else.”

Starting at age 6 and playing five times a week from age 10 with a private coach, Zoe’s investment has not only been in time but with a $5,000 to $7,000 financial commitment per year according to her father, Chip Woods. He emphasized the importance of tournament play and private coaches which can create an unfair advantage over economically-challenged or single-parent families with limited schedules.

“Whenever we go to another school, we know who the good players are from the tournaments,” Chip Woods said. “The kids Zoe plays with are all doing the same thing, and some pay more who travel by plane to additional tournaments. I can see why other schools hate Carmel who just can’t afford it.”

Private School Option

Many families choose private school which provides more flexibility and opportunities to

play. Carmel resident, Nick Kirkpatrick, transferred from Carmel to Brebeuf Jesuit at the end of his first semester freshmen year which opened the door to play two sports.

“If I stayed at Carmel, I couldn’t have done both.

The competition is so high you have to focus,” Kirkpatrick said. “While my decision ultimately came down to academic reasons, being able to be a multi-sport athlete was a great perk.”

At CHS, Kirkpatrick made the JV soccer team and was running cross country as the number eight man on varsity and, at Brebeuf, ran cross country and played varsity soccer. Today, as a junior at Stonehill College with a dual engineering degree at Notre Dame, Kirkpatrick runs divisiontwo cross country and track and has no regrets.

“Looking back, I may have missed out on a couple state championships, but at least I didn’t have to give up what I enjoyed - playing soccer and running cross country,” Kirkpatrick said.

For many families, playing sports drives the decision to attend private school. Lee Lonzo, former athletic director and assistant principal at CHS as well as Indiana High School Athletic Association past board president and chairman of the executive committee, has advice for families.

“Go to the best school for your kids educationally, not for sports. The ball stops bouncing for everybody someday,” Lonzo said. “If you’re basing your decision on making the varsity team, you’re making a bad choice.”

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINAR

Beyond High School The reality of playing college sports and beyond is found at the The National Collegiate Athletic Association website. “Of the more than 450,000 NCAA student-athletes, fewer than two percent will go pro in their sports.” For men’s basketball, only 3.3 percent of high schoolers play in the NCAA and that number drops to 0.03 percent for high school athletes who make it to the professional level. “Very few get athletic scholarships,” Inskeep said. “Of the three seniors who played on the state championship basketball team this year, only one will play college basketball.”

Drop-Outs

“Many students weed themselves out early. There aren’t a lot of seniors being cut. Many drop out after freshmen year,” Inskeep said. This is not only happening at CHS but is a nation-wide trend. According to ESPN magazine, “Millions of high school kids phase out organized sports, with the biggest drop-off coming early - during and after freshman year. High school sports can be competitive and involve roster cuts and commitments some teenagers can’t make…

SFIA (Sports & Fitness Industry Association) reports that between ages 14 and 15 there’s a 26 percent drop in the number of kids who play at least one sport even casually.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP Wither gov’s future?

D.C. is destination A recent midweek night found two state legislators, an entrepreneur and us in a local eatery enjoying a leisurely dinner. The topics zipped around the table like so many Ping Pong balls. One almost needed a scorecard to keep track. We tackled the economy, the Statehouse, growth and development and, naturally, politics. When the topic of the 2016 race for the presidency bubbled to the surface, by a 3-2 vote it was determined Hillary Clinton would not run. (We believe she will.)

Then, one among us asked the others what they could foresee with respect to a potential run for the Oval Office by Gov. Mike Pence.

Two among the party immediately, and nearly simultaneously, said, “Vice president.” It was something neither of us had thoroughly considered. We’ve always believed that if Pence tossed his hat into the ring, it would be for the No. 1 gig. But when one stops to think about it, a vice-presidential role for the governor makes a lot of sense; it would be a greening for the future … if everything worked out for him. As we’ve stated before, we’d like to see him make more inroads as Indiana’s chief executive. Were he to hit the campaign trail, the import of his in-state to-do list obviously would lessen. So, with whom would he be paired? The name that quickly surfaced was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, he of the unionbusting pedigree. But Walker is facing tough times in his own state for purported ties with third-party groups. Last week he was in a virtual polling tie with challenger Mary Burke.

Maybe Walker isn’t the answer. Regardless, we all agreed that Washington is in Pence’s future. It seems now that it’s just a matter of what and when. What are your thoughts?

Should he run? If so, which office should he pursue, president or vice president? Is it too soon to make that call? Please share your opinion at info@youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Marine to the Corps Commentary by Terry Anker Words are surprisingly powerful. And, they are far less static in meaning and emotion than we might imagine (or even hope). There was a time that if an envelope in one’s mailbox was emblazoned with the word “important,” that it likely was. Today, it is almost assuredly not significant – in fact, it might was well be stamped “junk mail.” Beyond the changing nature of language, words can also take very different meaning to each listener. Words like religion, progressive, or gay can insight debate for some and carry a neutral significance to others.

This week my inbox found an e-mail whose subject line was Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. To me, each are very powerful and positive words. Together, they are an imperative to open and read the message. I’m glad I did. For nearly 20 years, this group has hosted a golf tournament and dinner to raise awareness, fellowship, and a few dollars to support Marine children left behind as Mom or Dad paid the ultimate sacrifice to our country. On Sept. 11

at Pebble Brook Golf Club those assembled will honor decorated Corporal Lance Thompson. His story is a powerful one. Visit www.mcsf-indy.org and read it for yourself.

What do these words mean to us? Scholarship may conjure the concepts of education and generosity. Foundation might suggest permanence and philanthropy. And, Marine reminds us of service and dedication. Yes, there are many other ways to interpret these words. And, some readings are not so flattering. But is there a way that we can deny the deserved need of a family forever absent the loving hand of mother … or father.

Playing a round of golf or writing a check somehow seems inadequate to ameliorate the reality faced by these families. Yet to show solidarity, and maybe to help just a little, can’t hurt.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK As long as our future drives other people to despair, as long as our prosperity means poverty for others, as long as our ‘growth’ destroys nature anxiety, not hope, will be our daily companion.

–Jürgen Moltmann

I just returned from a week-long vacation on the South Carolina coast. humor Here are some things I learned or was reminded of while there.

1. Holy hello, the south is HOT. The average daily temperature was 95° F, but with the humidity, it felt like 105° F. On the beach it wasn’t too bad, but roadside, with no breeze whatsoever, the heat was suffocating. No wonder Southerners talk so slowly; speaking at a normal rate would cause one to combust. And how anyone ever fought a war down there is beyond me.

2. Too much chlorine does actually turn your hair green. Ask my 10-year-old.

3. If you must travel by mini-van, nighttime driving is the only way to go.

Heading down, my four kids and I sat for an hour outside of Asheville, N.C., because construction and lane closures turned I-40 into a parking lot. Let’s just say I was longing for the glorious jams on U.S. 31 by the time we arrived.

4. KFC cannot be expected to provide 24 biscuits on the spur of the moment.

Call ahead, people! Jeeze.

5. Everything tastes better with lard.

I had lunch in Savannah at a restaurant where all the menu items were hosed down in fat.

6. I’m a darn good single parent. My husband Doo couldn’t join us until midweek, so I was flying solo for the better part of this vacation. I’m proud to announce there were minimal sunburns on my watch, only two jelly-fish stings, and just one emotional breakdown from my 13-year-old daughter.

7. A splinter can ruin your entire day.

Again, ask my 10-year-old.

8. I have finally broken my cellular addiction! Distracted by parenting, beach reading, boogie-boarding and cockroaches the size of small dogs, I missed seventeen calls. And I didn’t even care.

Suck it, Verizon!

9. Road trips aren’t what they used to be. One of my sisters commented that despite the long hours in the car, she and her sons hardly interacted because of their Nintendo DS’s and DVD player. Of course, when we were kids, we wore no seat belts and chain-smoked candy cigarettes. Go figure.

I hope you discovered something new this summer too! Peace out.

Trucks where no truck should go

With the onset of construction and subsequent detours on Meridian, more and more semi trucks are now seen traveling along Main Street, specifically in the Arts and Design District section, whereupon, at the intersection of 4th and Main, they unwittingly find themselves facing a precarious situation as they happen upon the fountain roundabout. I feel for them as they try to maneuver their behemoth machines around this tight circle, never intended to accommodate the likes of an 18-wheeler.

Many have tried and many have failed to successfully navigate this obstacle.

The situation has caused major traffic problems on an already congested urban area and wreaked havoc on the infrastructure of one of Carmel’s more elaborate and esthetically beautiful roundabouts as it provides a gateway into the Design District.

I have witnessed their attempts and heard, at all hours of the day and night, the rumble of engines, the whines of steering columns and the sounds of destruction as their wheels jump the curb. Regardless of how one feels about roundabouts it is done – and is now being undone – all at taxpayers’, and those living on, or just enjoying Main Street’s many amenities, expense.

I ask the City of Carmel if an easy solution to the problem would be to simply provide more visible and adequate signage disallowing semitrucks on this section of Main as well as a design for alternate detour routes for their use during the U.S. 31 construction.

Beth Meyers

P.S. Coincidentally, as I write this, another semi truck is slowly making its way around the roundabout, with two other semis right behind it, as a fire truck (Main Street being a common route for them) is heading towards the same. This could make for a potentially life-altering situation.

Editor,

My response: Stop negativity

I was disappointed to read a Letter to the Editor from one of my Council colleagues. I take issue with the premise that some members on the Council and of the public are focused on negativity.

We are the fiscal body. It is our obligation to seriously discuss the financial health of our city. A revenue shortfall of $43,000,000 is exactly what we should discuss. I know my constituents expect it.

Another fiscal concern is the current year budget. Councilors Schleif, Seidensticker, Snyder and myself were deeply concerned that revenue was insufficient to support the spending the mayor proposed in the budget. It passed on a 3-3 split with Councilors Carter, Finkam and Rider in favor and the Mayor cast the vote to break the tie. The efforts of those opposed to speculative spending were labeled as petty politics.

Yet, the result of our concerns has come to pass. There was not enough revenue to support the spending. The paving budget, which the mayor cut to balance the budget, was only replenished after the Council transferred money from the Rainy Day fund.

Infrastructure has been neglected for too long in Carmel.

The Council worked to make it a priority again.

My colleague’s recent letter drew the analogy of Carmel citizens as customers. I reject that notion. I have been in marketing and sales for some 36 years. Customers are to be

19

sold! A sales pitch is designed to tell customers only what is necessary to get the sale. Control the information, control the message.

I view Carmel citizens as shareholders. Shareholders are to be served. They deserve accurate and complete disclosure of public policy decisions and the information that led to them. They deserve the factual truth in a timely fashion. We owe them this. All of the facts, including the ones we find inconvenient.

We have a wonderful city with a bright future and I am proud to have had the opportunity to play a role in shaping what we are today. However, I would change the cloak of secrecy and intrigue that persists. I would not label discussion of the important issues as being negative. We need to act like a responsible, responsive municipal government and not like the out-of-touch-government we get from Washington, D.C.!

I trust the Carmel citizen. This is a bright, highly educated community and we can trust our neighbors to make the right decisions and we can trust them with the truth. There is no need to “message” or “spin” … just tell them the truth; they will decide for themselves what is right. I will paraphrase an oft quoted saying … everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts. Even if the facts are unpleasant.

Rick Sharp, City Council

Waterloo pays tribute to Swedish sensation

By Joseph Knoop • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Show, a tribute to ABBA, will perform Aug. 15 and 16 at the Marsh Symphony on the Prairie concert.

The band, known as “Watertheatre loo,” has been singing tribute to the Swedish pop group since 1996 when performers Camilla Dahlin and Katja Nord asked original ABBA members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson’s permission.

ABBA was the first pop group from a nonEnglish speaking country to enjoy extremely high levels of fame in the American music scene.

The Show now performs regularly with original ABBA members such as Andersson, Lasse Wellander, Janne Schaffer and Mats Ronander on guitar, Rutger Gunnarsson on bass and Roger Palm among others.

Dahlin was originally featured in ABBA’s music video for “Thank You For the Music.”

The Show has performed over 560 shows, four times as many as the original ABBA group.

The group has sold out three times at the famous Hollywood Bowl venue.

The Show tells a personalized tale of ABBA’s rise to success, beginning the performance with the end of the 1960’s, as original members Ulvaeus, Andersson, Lyngstad and Faltskog met to play for the first time. The rest of the show

Peruvian triplecito sandwich

The kids are back to school and packing lunches can be tedious work. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some of my boy’s favorite lunch menus that even the most picky eaters will devour! Be bold and adventurous beyond the routine of the PB&J sandwich! This “riquisimo” Peruvian classic sandwich can be savored as a meal, snack, at tea time or at a picnic.

Note: How to keep avocados from turning brown: Squeezing lime juice into avocados helps to prevent oxygenation. The lime and a tight plastic wrap method will help keep an avocado fresh.

There are plenty of reasons to eat avocados.

This fruit is a great source of antioxidants that protect your vision; it is one of the top brain foods that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Avocados are rich in mono-unsaturated fats that boost heart health and help lower blood pressure.

Prep. Time: 20 minutes / Serve: 4 Ingredients: 4 eggs boiled; peel and slice each one, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 8 slices white whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed, 1 large ripe avocado, 1 vine ripened tomato, sliced, 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, divided Directions: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Divide avocado evenly over 2 pieces of bread; season with

some salt, pepper and squeeze a bit of lemon.

Top avocado with a piece of bread, a thin layer of mayonnaise side up. Divide tomato evenly over the 2 pieces of bread, season with salt and pepper. Top tomato with a third piece of bread; a thin layer of mayonnaise side up. Divide sliced eggs evenly over the 2 pieces of bread; season with remaining salt and pepper. Top with the last piece of bread; a thin layer of mayonnaise side down. Cut each sandwich in half or triangles.

Cover the triplecitos tightly with plastic wrap and put it in a sanwich container. Also, be sure to use insulated lunch bags or freezer packs to keep the lunch food cold, safe and fresh.

“Did you hear the one

Willie Wood, fifth time director from Westfield, successfully staged “I Married An Angel,” at the Carmel Community Playhouse as the final piece of the season. Although the small theater seats 120 people, the production seemed much larger. With imaginative use of space, including movable sets, the director, cast and crew brought the adapted 1938 play by Hungarian playwright Janos Vaszary to vigorous life. The Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart musical featured an all-volunteer cast, primarily music school graduates or current students. As a point of interest, MGM made the musical into a film in 1942, starring Jeannette Mac Donald and Nelson Eddy.

The play is about a love-weary banker who breaks off his engagement with his fiancé and says the only girl he could marry would be an angel. Voilà! A real angel appears in his life and he falls in love with her. However, problems arise because she is free of human failings that allow people to tolerate each other, such as little white lies, or circumventing the truth in order to be socially polite. The real problem arises when she unwittingly reveals hidden bank account numbers, causing her husband’s bank to face financial crisis and seemingly inevitable failure. Valerie Vincent is solicited to teach Angel how to be a human. Belinda, formerly Angel, learns the skills of social manipulation and feminine wiles, and in doing so, saves her husband’s business.

Lead roles in the CCP play featured: Scott Martin as Willie Perrin, hero banker; Jenny Mitchell as the angel who becomes the earthly Belinda; Vince Accetturo as Peter Mueller, worried banker; Jessamyn Anderson as Judy Wentworth, a formerly proper woman; Kyle Martin as Harry Horton, Las Vegas billionaire; and Jen Martin as Valerie Vincent, the woman who dominates her social group.

Of special note and celebration, Perry Hilficker, who plays Celeste in the play, is marrying Vince Accetturo, one of the featured actors and the producer of this play. This is their last performance together before their marriage on November 1st. Congratulations to Perry and Vince!

The 2014-15 season for the Carmel Community Players begins Sept. 19 with the musical “Ordinary Days,” a humorous play about four New Yorkers whose lives intersect in amazing ways.

Willie Wood, director of this play, will direct another musical in May 2015. His upcoming “Dames at Sea” is described as a tap-happy celebration of the golden era of movie musicals. For inquiries about upcoming performances, other plays and season tickets, visit www.carmelplayers.org.

Jessamyn Anderson, a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Music at Indiana University, portrayed Judy Wentworth in “I Married an Angel.”

Jenny Mitchell, as the angel, listens to advice from Valerie Vincent, played by Jen Martin. Valerie, as the gal-about-town, gives lessons on how to be human, specifically, on how to be a woman.

Scott Martin, who played Willie Perrin, the male lead in “I Married an Angel,” falls in love with the angel, Belinda. Belinda was played by Jenny Mitchell of Carmel, a Ball State University student.

(Above) After the angel loses her wings, she needs a new wardrobe. Perry Hilficker, played the role of Celeste, a self-important fashionistas who provides the service.

Martin is a 2007 graduate of Ball State University’s Dept. of Theater and Dance.

Tax loophole – President Barack Obama said officials are “reviewing all of our options” to act without congressional approval to stem the wave of so-called tax inversions. The trend has accelerated in recent years, backed by Wall Street enthusiasm for overseas tax rates that are lower than the highest U.S. rate of 35 percent.

Residents of Indy’s Northside will now be able to benefit from Amazon’s latest endeavor of “Get It Today” delivery. The new business program began Aug. 6 in the metro areas of Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. According to public relations consultant for Amazon Rachel Sorvig, more than one million items are eligible for same-day delivery.

“Customers can order as late as noon, seven days a week and get things like popular movies, video games, last-minute travel needs, back-toschool supplies and family necessities delivered to their home the same day,” she stated.

This program is only for Amazon Prime members, who will pay $5.99 for all the same-day delivery items they can order in one sitting.

“Imagine how much time you will save now that you can get sunscreen, memory cards, toothpaste, hit movies, text books and HDMI cables all delivered to your home in hours, seven days

a week, in one order from Amazon,” said Greg Greeley, Vice President, Amazon Prime, “New convenient pricing also allows Prime members to fill up their same-day shopping cart with everything they may need for one low price. With more than a million eligible items, we aim to offer the largest same-day selection at the lowest price.”

Customers who search or browse the Amazon product selection will find the “Get It Today” filter on the left-hand navigation panel, just below the “Amazon Prime” filter. They can select “Get It Today” and see only those items eligible for Same-Day Delivery. A similar “Get It by Tomorrow” filter will allow customers to discover millions of additional items that can be delivered the next day.

Pricing for non-Prime customers remains unchanged, with a $9.98 fee for the first item and $0.99 for each additional item.

Helping kids start a new school

The start of a new school year can be an exciting time, but for kids starting a new school, it can also be a time of anxiety. stress Whether your child is starting school for the first time, or you recently moved and have to switch schools, a new school can cause school-related separation anxiety or even school refusal.

You can help make your child’s transition to a new school easier with these six tips: • Talk it up. List all the great things about your child’s new school, including special features that may be unique to the school.

For example, a brand new science lab or a playground with lots of green space.

• Reassure. Let your child know that her fears are completely normal and in fact many other children will be feeling exactly the same way on the first day of school.

Knowing that she’s not alone will help ease her anxiety.

• Get Familiar. Learn as much as you can about the school and your child’s routine before the first day. Visit the school and walk around. Play on the playground and look in classrooms and the lunchroom. Attend the school’s open house to meet the teacher.

• Do a practice run. Walk or drive the route to school or the bus stop a few days before

school starts. Have your child wake up at the time they will need to on a school day to get familiar with the new routine.

• Find Friends. Visit local parks or the library or ask around your neighborhood for kids who will be attending your child’s new school. Helping your child to meet other kids before school starts will give them some familiar faces to look forward to when school starts.

• Get Involved. Encourage your child to join clubs or sports teams, which can be a great way to make friends quickly at a new school. In addition, get involved at the school yourself, by volunteering or attending school events.

The first few weeks at a new school will be hard for even the most socialable child. Be patient and listen to your child’s concerns. Keep encouraging your child and stick to a routine.

Before long, the new school will be old hat. If your child is still having trouble adjusting after several months, talk to the teachers and ask the school counselor for additional help.

Know contact lens limits Q: Why do I need to throw away my contact lenses when they feel fine and I clean them every night? – Wayne J., Noblesville.

A: I get this question all the time. There truly is a health reason for throwing away your contact lenses as your doctor has prescribed – even though they feel fine. Soft contact lenses are extremely porous. They are like sponges and soak up everything with which they come in contact.

You may clean the surface of the lenses, but you cannot clean the pores in the lenses. When the pores get clogged, the contact lens is not as breathable. You may be wearing a very healthy and breathable contact lens, but if you are wearing them longer than the prescribed length of time, then you are not getting the oxygen to the cornea that is required for optimum health.

This makes you more susceptible to infections, corneal ulcers and corneal edema, which can increase astigmatism. Most contact lenses today are one-day, two-week or monthly replacement lenses. If you are in a two-week replacement routine, throw them away on the first and 15th of each month; it’s much easier to remember that way. Even conventional daily wear contact lenses need to be replaced on an annual basis for the same reasons.

Budget medications: How to save money on pet prescriptions Commentary by John Mikesell

Purchasing prescriptions medicines for your dog from your veterinarian is definitely convenient and often necessary from a health standpoint (for example, when your pet urgently needs the drug), but usually the more expensive option. The markpets up at veterinary offices usually starts at 100 percent above wholesale prices but it can be 1,000 percent in some cases.

In defense of veterinary offices, keeping a fully stocked and upto-date pharmacy is usually not cost-effective. Small practices in particular can’t keep the myriad of medications that might need to be prescribed and used before their expiration dates.

Dedicated pharmacies have a higher turnover, receive volume discounts, and thus tend to be less expensive.

Following are a few programs that will help save you: • The American Automobile Association offers AAA Prescription Savings. The program is free with membership and covers all members of the household including pets.

• Costco dispenses nearly 100 commonly used prescription drugs for pets, and claims it has prices lower than those

Membership Prescription Program.

• The Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. It provides for discounts off the cash price of brand name and generic pet medications (human e-equivalents only). Pets can be enrolled as individuals ($25 fee) or as part of a family membership ($35 annual fee).

• Target has recently expanded the scope of its pharmacies and has started offering animal-specific medications.

• Kroger pharmacies has a program similar to Target’s with hundreds of pet medications available.

It does pay to shop around, considerable savings are available.

One more reminder, it has been a mild summer so far, but still way too hot to leave your dog in the car. Just don’t.

Shopping around for your pet’s medications could provide considerable savings. (Submitted photo)

The small Italian city of Orvieto (“Old City”) was founded by the Etruscans atop a butte formed from soft volcanic rock. The sides of the butte are so steep that a funicular now travel takes visitors from the train station and parking lots to the city 700 feet above. Because of its secure location, lying along the road between Florence and Rome, medieval Popes often lived in Orvieto and the city reflects that history.

The most visible evidence of papal influence is Orvieto’s cathedral, located on the main square and unexpectedly large for a city of only 10,000.

The cathedral is one of the most colorful in Europe, with horizontal stone striping both inside and out and a façade lavishly covered with paintings and mosaics. Dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, builders started construction of the cathedral in 1290 and continued for hundreds of years. One chapel in the cathedral features frescoes of the Apocalypse by Luca Signorelli, the inspiration for Michelangelo’s famous “Last Judgment” in the Sistine Chapel. Another chapel houses a communion cloth stained when the host began bleeding, convincing a skeptical

priest in the nearby town of Bolsena that the consecrated bread really did become the body of Jesus. Persistent claims that the entire cathedral was built to celebrate this “miracle of Bolsena” are not true and skeptics assert the stains came from bread mold.

In 1527, Pope Clement VII escaped to Orvieto during the sack of Rome by mutinous forces once loyal to Emperor Charles V. Fearing a siege, the Pope ordered construction of the 175-feet deep St. Patrick’s Well, named for an Irish legend that deep wells provide access to Purgatory. The central shaft is surrounded by two helixes allowing donkeys (and modern visitors) to pass each other as they travel up and down fetching water.

Pleasant cafes in the car-free piazzas of Orvieto feature the wines for which the city is famous. Shops feature ceramics, made in Orvieto since the days of the Etruscans. An afternoon in Orvieto, a short train ride from Rome, is an ideal respite from the bustle of the Eternal City.

Decorating with neutral colors Commentary by Vicky Earley I recently overheard a conversation between a designer and a client regarding room color. When asked about the specific decorating color of a room, the client answered “neutral.”

While I understood what she meant, it struck me as curious that the word ‘neutral’ was used so freely used and that it has become an actual color name!

Neutral by definition is black or white – not a color. When blended into gray, tonal neutrals develop. Technically neutral is an achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color devoid of color!

I know that the client meant a form of beige or taupe when she responded with the color name “neutral.” Beige has long been the neutral cornerstone and taupe is the new go-to for those in search of a current neutral.

Beige, taupe and any of the colors that are now being marketed as the “new neutrals” are simply colors that play nicely with a large array of other colors. These hues have stepped up to the plate and taken the neutral roll in decorating, but, beware: these “new neutrals” are anything but!

Consider the innocent ivory. It seems innocuous enough to be considered a neutral, right?

Well, ivory is a blend of colors that can hold a host of undertones that can creep out when they are least expected and least wanted. Those underlying tones might hold a hint of pink, umber

6

or gold. When those undertones are combined they might show themselves as bluish or peachy.

“Neutrals” that are combinations of a number of hues are loaded with surprises when the paint hits the wall!

Even gray, the current neutral darling of interior design can bite back. If there is any tint beyond the black and white added it will come into play when the walls are painted. Throw in a bit of blue and a touch of magenta and that gray wall just might turn purple!

The gray might be warm, it might be cool, it might read green and it might read blue. While these new neutrals are interesting and give a broader playground for the concept of neutral, don’t assume just because a color is merchandised as such, that it will work with whatever you throw at it!

When neutral is treated as a path to a calming environment, subtle colors and rich backdrops to accent colors, it works. It really is about finding

4

• photography • custom framing+design • custom photo jewelry

317.219.4354

www.cindygoyerphotography.com

a blend of understated yet sophisticated tones that will allow accent and personality colors to shine! Since the eye can tire of a particular color, a way to incorporate those accent hues is simply by adding temporary items such as a bowl of lemons, a bouquet of peonies, or accent fabrics.

While an accent color sings against the right neutral, adding that focal color it isn’t a hard and fast rule in interior design! Shades of gray mixed with metallics, mirrored furniture, and great textures can deliver as much impact as a room filled with intense colors.

Neutral is often regarded as the safe place to go when decorating. If it is taken to an extreme or done poorly, it can be akin to bland and boring! Consider your reaction at entering a home for sale … a house decorated beautifully will typically be received better and remembered longer than a house that recedes in its neutrality.

I suppose I need to accept the fact that, to the general decorating population, the word ”neutral” means safe with low risk. I get it. This is good as long as that safe decorating haven doesn’t eliminate the counterpoint of rich texture and interesting form and drift aimlessly into an endless sea of boring beige or overdone taupe.

FOCUSING ON HEALTH IN HAMILTON COUNTY “STRONG is the new skinny” is a phrase Robanne Robin lives by. A certified Hip Hop instructor, this Hamilton County mother, author and nurse leads weekly classes at the Fishers and Fort Benjamin Harrison YMCAs, part of United Way’s network of agencies focused on health.

Not long ago, Robanne would never have imagined herself in this role. She struggled with her weight as a teen and young adult, leading to bulimia and anorexia.

After having three children, she weighed 300 pounds and was hospitalized twice with cardiovascular issues.

In addition to her health problems, Robanne’s family faced financial difficulties when her husband lost his job. Afraid they couldn’t afford summer camp for their

children, Robanne talked with staff at the Fishers YMCA about their situation. With the help of its United Way funding, the Y was able to provide financial assistance, so the kids would have an enriching place to spend their summer.

Soon her husband found a job, and Robanne decided to take control of her weight. Gastric bypass surgery pushed her in the right direction, but it didn’t fix the underlying problems. Working with her doctor, she changed her diet and started working out at the Fishers YMCA. Within 15 months, she lost 150 pounds!

Now a half her starting weight, Robanne uses her experience to fight obesity by making exercise fun and encouraging kids to focus on strength and fitness, not size and weight. Thanks to your United Way support, people like Robane can be healthy, self-sufficient and help others achieve their health goals.

and pond needed about an hour’s work. Amazing what pollution, acid rain and regular use causes.

TIMELESS OBJECTIVES Our objectives of the original design remain relevant. Creating shade was a huge driver and prompted the multiple structures, as was a formal fire feature. Compelling landscaping that is low maintenance, offers loads of color and four seasons of interest (our “landscape triple threat”) was essential but not as dramatic as the influence the naturalized stream and small pond commanded.

NOSTALGIC More fruitful were the stories and memories that Chuck re-lived with me. How he often finds himself casually working under the lanais making calls and doing business. The happy, now almost grown, kids and beautiful wife have loved the patios and of course the fireplace is a definite crowd pleaser. Walkers on the nearby path often stop and admire the space. So do I. After 21 years of creating incredible living spaces we have learned a few things. Like humans, a little maintenance is occasionally required and more compelling. Properly designed and built spaces have the capacity to dramatically influence how we live, entertain and even work.

We expect this outdoor lifestyle to flourish and have a healthy generational influence.

The benefits of a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom Commentary by David Decker School is starting up once again, which means it’s time to get back into the routine of getting up and ready in the mornings. And as anyone who grew up with siblings can indoors attest, having multiple children share a bathroom can sometimes create a difficult situation. Most mornings it can seem like everyone needs to use the bathroom at the exact same time, leading to squabbles, hassles and running late. If you are looking for a new solution, a Jack and Jill bathroom may be the perfect addition to your home. “Jack and Jill” is the common term for a shared bathroom that is connected to separate bedrooms. If welldesigned, a Jack and Jill can increase the privacy and functionality of your children’s shared bathroom. And it may help them make the bus on time with fewer grumpy interactions.

Privacy is the main benefit of a Jack and Jill bathroom. The best Jack and Jill designs feature a layout that separates the various areas of the bathroom, like the toilet, shower and sink areas.

Clearly separate these areas with doors, so that multiple people are able to be in the bathroom at once. This way, one child can be taking a shower while another brushes his teeth, without having to compromise any privacy.

Jack and Jills also generally feature separate amenities that allow each child to have their own space in the bathroom. Most homeowners

otherwise get thrown on the floor. Ample amounts of storage will cut down on clutter and ensure that each sibling knows where his or her toiletries are located.

The best part about Jack and Jill bathrooms are the added space that they afford you. In terms of measurement, Jack and Jills tend to take up more space than the average bathroom. If you choose to A “Jack and Jill” can increase the privacy and functionality of your chilremodel the space, you’ll dren’s shared bathroom. (Submitted photo) have more flexibility.
