CCS makes several student-safety upgrades

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com David Woodward has been very busy since joining Carmel Clay Schools as director of student services less than a EDUCATION year ago.

On Aug. 14, Woodward gave the CCS Board of Trustees an update on several recent changes aimed at improving student safety across the district. Many updates were implemented with the start of the new school year. Others still are works in progress.

One noticeable change is quick-reference emergency procedures posted at every school, designed to efficiently communicate the most important information to whomever is in the building, because inhabitants often vary depending on the time of day.

“If there’s anything we learned from our own explosion (Dec. 26 at Carmel High School), we have a lot of people in our buildings who are not familiar with our buildings and safety protocols,” Woodward said.

CCS also is working to improve collaboration at its campuses and beyond. The district’s 24 school safety specialists — which includes at least one at each campus — have begun meeting monthly to share ideas and feedback.

Woodward said CCS is partnering with nearby school districts to create a countywide Mental Health Response Team. Team members will train to ensure they all “speak the same language,” Woodward said, so the entire group can be mobilized quickly and provide resources beyond what a single district can offer.

The district is preparing for worst-case scenarios by providing all school nurses and administrators with Stop the Bleed kits, which are stocked with supplies for treating traumatic injuries until additional help arrives.

Woodward provided each school board member a kit and in two minutes taught them how to use a tourniquet during the workshop.

Other changes include the installation of flashing blue lights for visual emergency alerts in areas of a building that are not ideal for hearing an announcement on the public address system, repurposing a maintenance truck to provide traffic support and the implementation of a family reunification plan for emergencies when students are removed from a school building in large groups.

Woodward, who began working for CCS after 13 years as the Indiana Dept. of Education’s director of school building, physical security and safety, said he’s happy with the progress CCS has made in the last year but that there’s still

“a lot of work to do.” He said he’d like to see improved student access to mental health services and make additional technological upgrades.

He also wants to place a school resource officer in every Carmel school, a goal largely dependent on the success of a school safety referendum that will be on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Voters will be asked whether they support a new tax of 5 cents per $100 of assessed home value to support school safety initiatives.

If approved, the referendum is expected to generate $5 million per year and be used to add school resource officers in elementary schools, fund mental health programming and provide school safety training for teachers.

CCS has seven school resource officers, with four at Carmel High School and one at each of the three middle schools. A successful referendum would allow the district to add an officer at each of the 11 elementary schools and support an additional two officers in the future.

STOPIT SUCCESS In December 2018, Carmel Clay Schools introduced the STOPit app, which allows students, teachers and parents to report issues and concerns in real time that might impact student safety, whether individually or as a student body.

CCS Director of Student Services David Woodward told the school board Aug. 14 that the app was used 4,824 times during the previous school year, with 1,034 of the reports made anonymously.

“I can say with absolute confidence we’ve saved at least one life by implementing this app,” Woodward said. “My belief is that we’ve saved more than that.”

Man found dead in front of Gramercy

County proposes raises, new hires in 2020 budget

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

By Sadie Hunter sadie@yoaurecurrent.com

A man arrested less than three weeks ago for allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend with a shotgun used the same type of weapon to shoot himself after a domestic POLICE disturbance in the parking lot of the Gramercy Apartments in the early morning hours of Aug. 14, according to the Carmel Police Dept.

Police said they found Scott Nocco, 28, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound when they responded to a domestic disturbance call in the 1200 block of Indian Trail Dr. at 2:12 a.m. They are still working to determine whether the same shotgun was used in both incidents.

Nocco was facing several charges, including criminal confinement, criminal recklessness and domestic battery, after allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend with a shotgun July 25 in her apartment. The gun fired during the July incident but did not strike anyone.

Nocco jumped from a balcony and fled the scene while a SWAT team was on the way to the call. Police later arrested Nocco at his residence in the 4900 block of Woodcreek Drive.

Nocco was set to have a jury trial Nov. 12.

Carmel police do not release identifying information of a victim in an ongoing investigation.

Two days of budget hearings between members of the Hamilton County Council have ended, resulting in several new hires GOVERNMENT and raises for county employees.

A finalized budget of just under $100 million for the 2020 fiscal year was reached by councilors Aug. 7.

“I’d like to commend our council for doing a great job,” Council President Beaver Brad Beaver stated. “There are seven different viewpoints on this council and a lot of passion in the decision-making process, but overall, I’m happy with the outcome. We spend very wisely.”

The proposed budget includes six new full-time positions, one each in the Surveyor’s Office, Parks and Recreation Dept., Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, the Soil and Water Conservation District and the Youth Assistance Program.

In addition, a part-time employee has been budgeted for the Youth Assistance Program, as well as a part-time employee for the Purdue Extension Office.

Raises also are on the list of new expenses. The

proposed budget includes pay increases averaging 7 percent for county employees and 3 percent for elected officials.

Approximately $1.2 million was budgeted to support 13 Hamilton County nonprofit agencies, including Janus Developmental Services, Aspire and the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

“All in all, budget deliberations went extremely well,” Council Vice President Rick McKinney said in a statement.

McKinney is set to become council president in January 2020.

“Hamilton County government is in a McKinney solidly strong financial position today, which will continue through the end of 2020,” McKinney stated.

A public hearing for the proposed budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 4 in the commissioner’s courtroom at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center in downtown Noblesville.

After the public hearing, the council is set to formally adopt the proposed budget during a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 16 in conference room 1A, also at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center. When approved, the budget will be sent to the state of Indiana for approval before going into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

The city council will discuss a proposed ordinance that regulates reserving spots for a parade. (File photo)

Proposal: No claiming parade spots before 6 a.m. previous day

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Last month, Carmel City Council President Jeff Worrell asked for feedback on a possible ordinance to address CITY NEWS reserving spots for the CarmelFest July 4 parade, and he got it.

As of Aug. 14, Worrell said he was still working to respond to all of the emails he received on the issue. He reviewed a wealth of ideas and used the feedback to propose an ordinance that was set to go before the city council for a first reading Aug. 19.

“I am introducing a starting point,” he said. “I fully expect there to be feedback, testimony and discussion, as there should be, at the committee level.”

The proposed ordinance prohibits the public from using anything but lawn chairs to claim a spot in the right-of-way to watch the

parade, and chairs may not be left out earlier than 6 a.m. the day before the parade.

It also states that the city may impound property that violates the ordinance. The property will be kept at the Carmel Street Dept., where it can be picked up by the owner.

This year, people began claiming spots nearly two weeks before the July 4 parade, which led to damaged property and created difficulties for some businesses. It also caused some people to worry they wouldn’t be able to find a spot at the parade if they didn’t claim one early, but Worrell said that is not the case.

“There’s not a seating shortage. You can come to the parade the day of (the event) and get a great seat,” he said. “Generally speaking, people are very generous and kind and allow you to squeeze in.”

Student shoots for the stars

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Zoe Koniaris already has her career path mapped out. Sort of.

An aspiring astronaut INTERNSHIP and politician, the Carmel High School senior wants to navigate a way to both vocations.

“In an ideal world, I’d be both an aerospace engineer and a surgeon for the first part of my career until I was selected as a NASA astronaut,” she said. “Then, I’d hopefully work as a space doctor on a Mars mission until I aged out of the astronaut program.

“Once happily retired from space work, I’d run for the U.S. Senate. It’s an ambitious career path, I know.”

Perhaps, but Koniaris, 17, has a pretty good head start on the first part of her career journey. An honors student at CHS, she recently participated in the Student Enhancement in Earth and Space Science summer internship at the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Space Research. Only 50 students were chosen out of 600 applicants.

During the two-week intensive (July 1327), interns conducted research with NASA

scientists and engineers on data collected from Earth-observing satellites. They also designed Mars habitats, studied lunar exploration and analyzed images from the International Space Station.

Koniaris, whose parents are Dr. Teresa Zimmers and Dr. Leonidas Koniaris, plans to major in aerospace engineering in college with a minor in geology. She also is interested in studying politics and possibly international relations.

Teacher writes poetry, hosts podcast

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Franklin Oliver is certain his teaching philosophy meshes well with University High School.

“I’m convinced that EDUCATION relationships truly matter, and University shares that belief,” he said.

“Being encouraged to know students as full people allows us all to tailor instruction to specific groups of students and pursue learning in lots of different directions, and having time every day to connect with students outside of class is a true gift.”

Oliver, who previously taught at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, is teaching world history and sociology in his first school year at UHS in Carmel.

Oliver first taught classes while in graduate school at Indiana University.

“Landing at Brebeuf in 2005 was a lifechanging opportunity for me, and I’m excited to make another wonderful leap of faith by working at University,” he said.

The Indianapolis resident is a published author and has been hosting a podcast, “The WhoDeannyPod,” for nearly two years.

The name comes from the fact Oliver’s mid-

dle name and his childhood nickname was Deanny. The other part comes from Oliver’s interest in the persona of Harry Houdini.

“Apparently, he was merely an aboveaverage magician but willed himself into public consciousness. That’s an impressive feat,” Oliver said. “And, of course, I love

wordplay, so WhoDeanny makes sense on multiple levels. I describe ‘The WhoDeannyPod’ as deliberately free flowing, intimate and DIY (do it yourself). I love having guests on the pod, especially students, because I learn so much in the process. It’s also wonderful to have a chance to dig into issues I really care about, whether it’s politics, culture or just an experience I want to consider more deeply.”

“I loved my most recent pod, which was a combination of my reflections on Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and sharing a couple of my original poems that reflect themes that were important to her.”

Poetry is another passion.

“I developed a real interest in writing poetry in high school once I realized that all the rules were only suggestions,” Oliver said. “Having the capacity to express myself in a wide variety of ways was extremely exciting, and I fell in love with the form.”

His first two books, “MOSAIC” and “Myths,” are available through his website, whodeannypod.org, while his 2019 book, “Dreams and Premonitions,” is electronic-only and available via Amazon Kindle at tinyurl.com/ y38oymvo. Oliver also was a Jeopardy contestant. His episode aired in May 2000.

Creekside math teacher honored

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com Creekside Middle School math teacher Angela Snyder has been chosen as a state finalist for the Indiana EDUCATION Dept. of Education’s 201819 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.

Snyder teaches eighthgrade math and is chair of the mathematics department.

“It’s a great honor to Snyder represent all the teachers in Indiana and to represent the teachers in Carmel Clay Schools,” Snyder said. “We have such excellent teachers in the state and our district.”

Principals, teachers, parents, students or members of the general public may nominate individuals who teach science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science in seventh through 12th grades or kindergarten through sixth grade for alternating award years.

The nominees go through a rigorous on-

line application process. Teachers are chosen based on the following criteria: • Mastery of content appropriate for the grade level taught.

• Use of effective instructional methods and strategies that are appropriate for the students in the classroom and that support student learning.

• Effective use of student assessments to evaluate, monitor and improve student learning.

• Reflective practice and lifelong learning to improve teaching and student learning.

• Leadership in education inside and outside of the classroom.

“Angela Snyder scored highly on the five dimensions through the assessments completed by the professional team, individually and collaboratively, whose members represent multiple levels of mathematics educational expertise in the state of Indiana,” Sheridan Rayl, PAEMST state coordinator, stated in an email.

The White House will announce the national winners with a certificate signed by President Donald Trump.

Car show set for Sept. 14

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kevin Macadaeg has been contemplating holding an event such as the Cruise Indy car show for 20 years.

CRUISE INDY Macadaeg had watched as his hometown of Pontiac, Mich., held the Woodward Dream Cruise, which started in 1995.

“They were expecting 25,000 at the first one and ended up with 250,000,” Macadaeg said. “It’s become the largest cruise event.”

So Macadaeg, a doctor and founding member of Carmel-based Indiana Spine Group, finally launched Cruise Indy, a 12-mile open cruise between Carmel and Indianapolis benefiting Folds of Honor set for Sept. 14.

“With me being a motorhead wannabe and a supporter of the military, I was looking for a good venue for the military, and I think this could be a good thing for Carmel, the state of Indiana and for Folds of Honor,” said Macadaeg, adding that Indiana Spine Group often supports charitable causes.

Folds of Honor-Indiana provides scholarships to families of veterans who have died or are disabled. Folds of Honor-Indiana presented 44 scholarships totaling $216,800

in 2018.

The cruise travels from Smokey Row Road and heads down Range Line Road to 96th Street and turns around.

The event will be based at the Indiana Spine Group, 13225 N. Meridian St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be food, ice cream trucks and a bourbon tent. There will be an appearance by actress Catherine Bach from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The cruise is set for noon to 2:30 p.m.

FIREMAN’S BEST FRIEND currentincarmel.com

Kasey Program to represent CFD at nationwide fire safety presentations

By Emma Uber news@currentincarmel.com

Former firefighter Jeff Owens and his black Labrador retriever, Kasey, give hundreds of presentations COVER STORY on fire safety to children each year. The duo travels across the U.S. to share lifesaving information and has appeared on several national news programs.

But now, Owens and Kasey represent the Carmel Fire Dept. Owens has begun wearing a CFD uniform during presentations and receives $1,200 per year from the department to cover veterinary bills. Previously, he represented the Indianapolis Fire Dept. and most recently the Wayne Township Fire Dept.

“At the beginning of this year they had a change of administration and that was no longer a good fit for our program,” said Owens, a Fairland resident.

CFD Chief David Haboush said he “instantly hit it off” with Owens and that the Kasey Program is a perfect fit with CFD’s philosophy.

“The partnership between the Carmel Fire Dept. and the Kasey Program is an opportunity to enhance our existing community safety programs as well as promote a larger platform for CFD to spread the news about fire and life safety,” Haboush said. “The dogs add an element that CFD has never experienced before.”

‘THE RIGHT THING TO DO’

Owens founded the Kasey Program in 1995 and developed it during his 35 years of service as a firefighter and paramedic. By virtue of his occupation, Owens was often asked to speak in his son’s elementary school classes. In an attempt to engage the children in conversation about fire safety, Owens included Kasey in the presentation.

“It dawned upon me that my dog could sit, lay and roll over, and if I put those three things together, that’s stop, drop and roll,” Owens said. “I took the dog with me and the kids were extremely focused, not on me because of what I was doing, but on the dog because of what she was doing. That’s where the whole thing got started and it really just took off from there.”

only lasts so long,” he said. “The dogs add an additional component that holds everyone’s attention and provides a lasting impression for their audience.”

Owens said he never charges to present the program.

“If we’re teaching fire safety, it just doesn’t make sense that a school’s financial ability (to pay) would come into play at all,” he said. “That just doesn’t feel right.”

Owens also said the partnership with Carmel made sense for the program.

“To date, the Kasey Program has been featured on Dateline, NBC Nightly News, Fox News in New York, National Geographic, USA Today and local and regional print media across the country,” Owens said. “The Carmel Fire Dept. and the Carmel community as a whole put themselves out front and lead other communities and other fire departments across the country, much like the Kasey Program sets itself apart in its innovative way of teaching fire safety.”

Owens continued to operate the Kasey Program in his free time while maintaining his firefighting career until Koorsen Fire & Security hired him to teach fire extinguisher protocol in factories. Randy Koorsen, CEO of Koorsen and a Carmel resident, soon learned of the program and encouraged Owens to focus on it full-time and offered to sponsor it.

“They didn’t even know that I had the program, but when I talked to Mr. Koorsen about the program, he took all my responsibilities away from me and told me to just go teach with the dog,” Owens said. “I said, ‘Mr. Koorsen, you’re a businessman. Why would you do that?’ And he said, ‘Well, I learned a long time ago that sometimes you need to do things because it is just the right thing to do. If what you’re teaching saves one life, it’s worth far more money than I could ever put into it.’”

A GROWING PRESENCE

During the past 25 years, Koorsen and Owens have grown the Kasey Program into a children’s fire safety initiative that teaches more than 400,000 people in more than 400 nationwide appearances each year.

“The Kasey Program is an innovative way to teach children about fire and life safety and is the only full-time, nationally touring fire prevention program in the country,” Owens said. “Kasey does stop, drop and roll, checks the door to see if it’s hot before opening, knows two ways out of a room, crawls under smoke and other skills necessary for people to know to safely escape a fire.”

Haboush said it’s hard not to smile and feel uplifted while watching Kasey.

“The dogs are a game-changer. Kids and adults, too, have an attention span that

LETTER

Best friends

Always a need to diversify blood supply

Commentary by Terry Anker In the 1963 film “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father,” a boy, portrayed by then 9-year-old Ron Howard, schemed to find a mate for his recently widowed father. A 1969 sitcom of the same name found the youngster, worried about dad’s imagined loneliness, playing matchmaker for three seasons. Bill Bixby, who would go on to play the mild-mannered David Banner to Lou Ferrigno’s green menace in “The Incredible Hulk,” would always end his son’s failed attempt to marry him off with some Saturday-morning-special retelling of how the boy was “his best friend” and that no other person was needed to fulfill his emotional needs.

We should be close to our family, especially our children (of any age). And, good, it is not necessary to have a spouse or partner to be complete humans. But, should an adult man make a little boy his best friend? Can a 9-year-old carry the weight? Conventional wisdom suggests that a dog is man’s best friend. They don’t talk much. Now, it has become an almost expected convention at weddings to hear the groom and bride wax poetic about how their betrothed is their best friend. Ask the question of the internet: Who should be my best friend? The answers include spouses and pets. Buzzfeed earnestly outlines how to pick a celebrity BFF. Maybe it’s all semantic. Still, can a spouse be a best friend? Can a child? Could a pet? Aren’t they something more, something immeasurably extra, sublime, profound and enduring? Can parent, spouse, adult and friend be vested in one bestie? Should they?

I’ll have a serving of yoga Commentary by Danielle Wilson School started for me last week, on Wednesday mind you, and I’m already exhausted (it’s Friday). All I can do when I come home is collapse onto the HUMOR couch and hope my children will leave me and my Cheese Puffs alone.

I’ve become the stick of butter sitting on my kitchen counter – soft and melty and slightly salty whenever someone wants dinner. What gives? A measly three days with teenagers shouldn’t wear me out like this, even if two of those days were spent in exceptionally high heels. I’d like to blame it on flu or mono or another insidious kid-borne illness, but no, my friends, I’m simply out of shape.

And I suppose it makes sense. I did cut back a bit on exercising this summer. And by “cut back” I mean “all but eliminated.”

I convinced myself that walking the dog around the block was a solid cardio workout

and that switching to un-iced Pop Tarts basically burned calories at the same rate as squats. I knew I’d be traveling, I had no upcoming races where beating my husband would be a priority, and I am the queen of excuses (it’s too hot, I’ll go tomorrow, knee fat is trending). I’ve spent the last two months eating, lounging and bingeing on an inordinate amount of television. Am I really surprised that a few days at work has me leaving the aforementioned couch only to head to bed?

So, a pledge. Starting this week, a little jogging, some bendy yoga, perhaps a visit to a sweaty weight room. Fitness is now on the menu (along with my Cheese Puffs, of course)!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Wisely, and slow.

They stumble that run fast.”

- William Shakespeare

Editor, Diseases like sickle cell anemia require rare blood traits that demand diversity within our blood supply. Increasing African American donations is vital because blood Types O and B, the blood types of about 70 percent of African Americans, also are the blood types most in demand.

African American blood donors also are more likely to be a match for most people living with sickle cell disease, which makes them the perfect donors to help sickle cell patients in need of routine or emergency blood transfusions. African American blood donations are crucial to ensure the closest blood matching for successful blood transfusion outcomes.

We are always in need of diversifying Indiana’s daily blood supply. We also are constantly encouraging everyone who can to donate lifesaving blood on a regular basis. The need for blood donations now is especially important. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Hospitals throughout Indiana rely on blood donations for surgery patients, trauma victims and those battling a variety of diseases.

Anyone age 17 or older in good health who meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to give.

Dr. Charles Miraglia, Carmel resident and president of Versiti Blood Center of Indiana

Buying Selling Buying Or Or Selling A A Home?

Home?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We’re about to travel to the West Coast and I dread the long plane flight. I have some interesting audio books HUMOR but listening to them requires either headphones or earbuds.

Mary Ellen says if I wear headphones, it will look like I’m making fun of the guys who flag the plane into the gate.

My earbuds are terrible. I’ve lost the foam covers, so now they don’t stay in place. If the right one falls out and dangles alongside my neck, the left one loosens and lands in my beverage. Often, when I’m riding my bicycle, the entire wire falls and gets tangled in the greasy chain. Once, when I was driving my car, I leaned over to get something out of my glove compartment, hooked the wire on my gear shift and almost strangled myself.

I thought I was alone in my plight but apparently there are others suffering in silence. Literally. According to a New York Times article, many people have a disorder called “earbud cartilage deficiency syndrome,” known as ECDS. If you’re looking for a good laugh at a cocktail party, you really need to say all those complete words out loud. My wife doesn’t have this problem, by the way. She is cartilaginously wellendowed and, I am proud to say, it is all natural.

One techie website reports that people with this problem lack an antitragus in the ear canal, which is “a small tubercle that points anteriorly and is separated from the tragus by the intertragic notch.” Sorry to bore you with the obvious.

I want these earbuds, as described on eBay: “Full metal housing, cold forged from solid aluminum, anodized, with a full spectrum of hyper-balanced micro drivers.” Or, were they describing a lunar module?

One website sells a pack of earbuds in three assorted sizes. OK, some people have two different-sized ears — I get that. But the market for three mismatched ears has limited sales potential.

I should stop obsessing about this. I’m already dealing with failing vision, sinus problems and a receding hairline. I don’t need to be distracted by side issues.

Market Wagon moves to Carmel

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com

SEASON OF DISCOVERY

A company with an innovative farm-totable concept that has proven successful in Indianapolis has moved RELOCATION its headquarters to Carmel.

Founded in 2016, Market Wagon provides a platform for farmers and other food producers to sell their goods directly to consumers online. According to co-founder and CEO Nick Carter, Market Wagon’s growth has led to a need for more office space as well as more room for the fulfillment side of the business.

“In addition to the online platform that allows farmers to sell, the other component that we couple with that is fulfillment,” Carter said. “So, once a farmer sells a dozen eggs or a head of lettuce, they deliver to one consolidated location and then we ship it out to the consumer.”

Market Wagon’s Carmel headquarters will be more than twice as large as its previous location in Indianapolis. Carter said the new location in southwest Carmel at 4250 W 99th St. offers ease of access to I-465 and is not expected to prolong delivery times or drastically alter routes.

“From a logistics standpoint, it really didn’t change much about our routing. Once our delivery drivers leave the building, their

access to other locations in central Indiana is pretty much the same, if not better,” Carter said.

Market Wagon expects to add three to four positions in the next few months.

Carter credits Market Wagon’s focus on the logistics side of e-commerce with the company’s success.

“Food is highly perishable. It’s got temperature requirements, and it’s very daunting for a local farmer to fund that operation, to get their products to consumers on their own,” Carter said. “Anyone can easily buy a steak online, but getting that steak to the customer is hard, so that’s what we did.”

3 showrooms to join IDC

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com The Indiana Design Center will welcome three new showrooms this fall: Lorenzo Finestre, MNK Furniture COMING SOON and Rusted Window.

Each store is independently owned, which is vital to the mission of the IDC. “We’re always looking for businesses that carry great resources for residential and commercial interiors,” said Andrea Kleymeyer, IDC executive director. “We look for businesses that can offer something to the homeowner or designer that is building, remodeling or redecorating their home. We even have a real estate agency here, so it’s very much a resource and a one-stop-shop.”

The Lorenzo Finestre showroom will showcase a curated selection of interior and exterior European doors, windows and other luxury architectural products. Lorenzo Finestre is the second business venture by Cori Brown and Scott Brown, who also own Franklin Window and Door in Carmel.

“We wanted to be in the Indiana Design Center even with our Franklin Window and Door showroom, but at the time we needed

warehousing space,” Cori Brown said. “IDC is a great facility and it’s a great resource for our city. We’ve always wanted to be there, and now we’re excited that we’re going to get that opportunity with this new showroom.”

MNK Furniture is a family owned furniture manufacturer.

Rusted Window is a floral design business and lifestyle boutique.

Wide-eyed and horrified Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano If you are like most air-breathing humans, getting your eyes dilated is about as anticipated as dental work. Blurred VISION vision, sun sensitivity and not being able to read are all part of the annoying process. So, why on earth do eye doctors insist on torturing our patients with this procedure?

Simply put: Because we care.

Dilating the eyes is one of the most important diagnostic tests we can perform to make sure your overall ocular (and some systemic) health is being properly monitored.

When you come in for an annual eye examination, getting the correct glasses and contact lens prescription is important, but the most important part of the exam is the health evaluation. Dilating your eyes allows us to monitor a variety of ocular and systemic issues: Cataracts, glaucoma, floaters, diabetes, macular degeneration, retinal detachments and even some hypertensive and thyroid changes.

The eye is the only place in the human

body where we can monitor the blood vessels in their natural state without having to do any sort of invasive procedure. The eye truly is the window to the soul with respect to your overall health.

The good news is we now have technology that replaces your need to be dilated (in most cases). The OptoMAP retinal imaging allows us to see inside your eye but without all of the debilitating effects of having them dilated. A quick digital photo is taken, and your images pop up on a screen for you to see while your doctor shows you the health of the inside of your eye. It is quick, comprehensive and dilation-free.

You now have access to the best of both worlds: The benefits of a comprehensive evaluation without the aggravation of dilation drops.

Dr. Jeremy A. Ciano, an international lecturer and published author, is a Current Publishing columnist. For more information or to ask a question, he may be emailed at DrCiano@RevolutionEYES.com.

More than 400 collector and exotic cars will be on display during Artomobilia Weekend. (Submitted photos)

Revving up for Artomobilia Weekend

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com A celebration of eclectic cars, fine dining and charitable causes, Artomobilia Weekend offers something for CAR SHOW everyone as it revs up for its 12th consecutive year on the streets of Carmel, the backroads of southern Indiana and the luxurious grounds of Lucas Estate.

“First and foremost, it’s a great weekend that really shines a spotlight on some of the best assets the City of Carmel has to offer the broader community,” Event Coordinator John Leonard said. “We are very fortunate that our event growth has been tied to the growth of the City of Carmel, the Arts & Design District and now the Midtown area.

“We’re very excited to be able to showcase our beautiful city for auto enthusiasts from around the surrounding cities and counties and (from across) the state and the Midwest.”

The three-pronged event begins Aug. 23 with SHIFT, a poker run-style car rally, and Fuelicious, a private auto and dining event at Lucas Estate. It concludes Aug. 24 with Artomobilia, a glittering showcase of collector and enthusiast cars on the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District.

Proceeds benefit the Three Points Racing Foundation, a nonprofit that assists veterans, and Bolt for the Heart, a nonprofit that provides automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, to first responders and trained individuals in public places.

“Each of our events focuses on eclectic groups of cars, and as a result, there is something of interest for everyone,” Leonard said. “Likewise, all the events contribute to the charities we support. We receive great support from our partners and sponsors that are located in the Carmel and Hamilton County community.

“We’re very fortunate to have the opportunity to do these events in a supportive business community.”

Launched last year, SHIFT is a private driving event that benefits the Three Points Racing Foundation, which helps veterans transition from the military to successful careers in motorsports. More than 25 drivers in high-performance cars will motor 180 miles through the backroads of southern Indiana and draw a playing card at five designated checkpoints along the way, affording spectators a chance to admire the cars.

Registration is $500 per car. The event, dubbed “A Celebration of Wheels & Warriors,” begins and ends at the SILO Auto Club & Conservancy in downtown India-

napolis, where the driver with the best poker hand will earn “bragging rights.” The event is from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

A few hours later, the fifth annual Fuelicious gets under way at 7 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. at Lucas Estate in Carmel. Themed “A Celebration of Horsepower & Heart Health,” it will feature 50 collector cars and combine fine dining and live entertainment.

Tickets are $275. Tables of 10 are $2,500.

Proceeds benefit Bolt for the Heart.

Free and open to the public, Artomobilia is the namesake of the broader Artomobilia Weekend. Presented by KAR Auction Services, the Aug. 24 event is from noon to 5 p.m. in the Arts & Design District. It will feature more than 400 collector and enthusiast cars from across the Midwest.

A new addition to Artomobilia is Porsche-Palooza. Presented by Tom Wood Porsche, it will feature more than 100 Porches from 1954 to the present.

“There is literally a car for every type of car enthusiast,” Leonard said. “In addition, one of the things that makes Artomobilia so special is the Arts & Design District.

From the restaurants to the galleries to the bars to the shops to the Indiana Design Center, there’s a lot of great things to do during Artomobilia.”

The Indianapolis Jewish & Israeli Film Festival is set for Aug. 25 to 29. The Aug. 26 program at the Hasten Hebrew Academy of Indianapolis Cultural Arts Center, 6602 Hoover Rd., includes a 6 p.m. screening of “Grateful: The Jenni Berebitsky Story.”

The 17-minute documentary was produced by Geist resident Amy Pauszek, whose Where’s Amy column runs in Current Publishing newspapers. The film was directed and produced

by Indianapolis resident Paul Nethercott.

Geist resident Jean Miller Thompson was an executive producer and Justin Park, a 2018 Carmel High School graduate, was the director of photography.

Johnny Magic set for TV debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jonathan Mobley was hooked after attending his first magic show.

“I loved the amazing TELEVISION feeling I had when I saw a magician fool me and an entire audience in my hometown of Batesville when I was only 8 years old,” said Mobley, known as Johnny Magic. “Since then, every birthday and Christmas I asked for magic tricks so I could entertain friends and family. I also saved my money so I could visit magic shops, so I always had something new and exciting.”

Now 34, the Westfield resident became a full-time magician in 2016.

“I love being a magician because it gives me a platform to connect with others and inspire them to see beyond their limiting beliefs,” he said. “For me, it’s so much more than entertainment. Magic offers joy and wonder that can only be experienced by being in the moment.”

His biggest break so far came earlier this year when Mobley submitted a video to the producers of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” and was asked to appear on the show.

“Since they’re in their sixth year, they’ve seen a lot, so I sent them something brand new they’ve never seen before,” Mobley said. “They said, ‘It’s amazing. We don’t know how you did it.’ I have magician friends who have been trying to get on the show for awhile, so it was quite a privilege.”

Mobley filmed his appearance in February.

The episode will air at 8 p.m. Aug. 26 on The CW Network. Mobley will see it for the first time with the rest of the nation.

“A lot of producers from other shows watch it, so it may be a springboard to some other opportunities,” he said. “I really want to stay performing in the Midwest. I like (my) kids growing up here and staying with my

family. The exposure locally will help, too, because I love performing around here.”

Mobley and his wife, Amanda, have two sons, 5-month-old Levi and 3-year-old Caleb.

Mobley moved to Westfield from Noblesville this summer. He has previously lived in Fishers and Carmel.

Mobley grew up doing improv, so there is a lot of interaction on stage. The best part of magic, he said, is the surprise factor.

“I like the audience to think one thing is going to happen and then surprise them with something else,” he said. “People love to laugh, and I have a kind of stand-up comedy-feel.”

For the full story, visit currentnightandday.com.

VIEWING PARTY There will be a viewing party of Jonathan Mobley’s appearance on “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 26 at Main Event, 4016 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis. The show airs from 8 to 9 p.m. on a large screen. The event will include a 10-minute interview with Johnny Magic and a 10-minute magic show. There will be a magic kit giveaway, magic tricks for sale, photos and autographs. Food will be available for purchase.

CHS stages play at IndyFringe

By Lisa Gauthier Mitchison editorial@youarecurrent.com As the 15th annual IndyFringe Festival continues into its second week, it features an offering from Carmel High DRAMA School, “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank.” The play combines the Holocaust stories of Anne Frank, who died in a concentration camp, and survivors Ed Silverberg and Eva Schloss.

Maggie Cassidy, a theater teacher at CHS, is play’s director. She has been a part of IndyFringe for 14 years. The plays are staged at IndyFringe Basile Theatre, 719 E. St. Clair St., Indianapolis.

“I love to direct Fringe plays because they are intimate and artistic,” she said. “It isn’t about glitz and glamour. It is about true and beautiful storytelling. The story of the Holocaust is one that should continue to be told. I love to do plays based on historic events (or) true stories. I love to research that event, time period and its people.

“I thought this play was beautiful and heart-wrenching. The play is a combination of two real survivors sharing their stories on video and actors recreating the events

on stage.”

The actors are CHS seniors and juniors and one sophomore.

“I think it is a wonderful experience for the students,” Cassidy said “They get a chance to perform for a wider audience. We cast the show at the end of the 2018–2019 school year but have only been in rehearsal for three weeks. I think it gives them a truer experience of what professional theater is like. It gives the kids and the theater program at CHS really great exposure.

“We often do something heavy, almost always a drama, almost always something based on real events.’”

The show began Aug. 16 and has three performances remaining, Aug. 20, 24, and 25. For tickets, visit indyfringe.org.

Transitional wines under $20 Commentary by Elizabeth Morse As we turn from really hot to cooler weather, I’m suggesting a few bottles that are dually suited. Bonus WINEderlust that all of them are less than $20, making them even more likable. Cheers!

Martin Codax Albariño, $15. From the Famed Rias Baixas region of Spain, this white blend is refreshing and crisp. A tiny bit salty with loads of citrus and stone fruit flavors, I’d call it medium-bodied and great with food. Smells like jasmine.

Next up is one of my favorite California producers: Sanford. Sanford’s Pinot Noir Rosé is the quintessential barbecue wine.

Refreshing and fragrant (think tart fruit like cranberry and blood orange with rosy

warmth on the nose) — a delicate, feminine style ($19).

A lighter-bodied red from South Africa is my pick for the next few weeks. Natte Vallejo Cinsault is at once earthy and fruity. Big, wild strawberry flavors with a touch of spice and just the right amount of acid make this a perfect selection for a late summer day on Geist. Oh, and it’s vegan! ($18).

• The pergola was retrofitted for our purposes. The flowering wisteria is a showstopper, as is the updated privacy landscaping throughout.

Most projects require some coordination between trades, this one certainly more than others.

We were thrilled to host this neighborhood party to christen the new space and the reviews were marvelous, of course!

What’s up with ‘that?’

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Sometimes you can have too many of one thing — like presidential primary candidates, for instance. You can GRAMMAR GUY also have too many pillows on your bed. Organization expert Marie Kondo is a household name because of her minimalistic outlook.

However, you don’t want to get rid of all of your pillows, right? You need at least one.

In our writing, we tend to overuse the word “that.” We sprinkle little thats into our writing as if they were throw pillows on our furniture. “That” is a conjunction that connects dependent clauses to independent clauses. We need it if a subordinate clause uses conjunctions such as after, before, because, while and in addition to. For example: He said that because he likes hotel waffles so much, he intended to set the alarm clock on his phone before going to bed.

The AP Stylebook instructs us to use “that” “to introduce a dependent clause if the sentence sounds or looks awkward without it.” Here’s an example: I think that I am a robot. Another: I find that no one believes my robot claim.

Most of the time, we should also use the word “that” before certain verbs, including assert, declare, make clear, point out and state: I would like to point out that I haven’t mentioned Abraham Lincoln up until this point. Now you’re thinking about Abraham Lincoln.

Usually, we can omit “that” when a dependent clause follows a version of the verb “to say.” For example: Abraham Lincoln said he looked better without a mustache. Our inclination is probably to insert “that” after “said.” Also, rewrite a sentence if the word “that” appears back to back.

What have we learned so far? We only have a few reasons to omit the word “that.”

In fact, the AP advises, “When in doubt, include that. Omission can hurt. Inclusion never does.” Does this mean we should use throw pillows with reckless abandon? Maybe – but don’t tell Marie Kondo. Or perhaps this is a lesson we can apply more broadly to our lives: Omission can hurt; inclusion never does.

Many visitors to London consider their trip complete only when they have obtained an iconic green bag from Harrods, the world’s most famous department store.

TRAVEL In 1849, Charles Henry Harrod, an East London wholesale grocer, opened a small retail store in Knightsbridge, then a village outside London. Selling fruit, vegetables, perfumes and medicine, he hoped to take advantage of the Crystal Palace Exhibition, the first World’s Fair, opening in nearby Hyde Park in 1851. The plan worked and both Knightsbridge and the store boomed. By 1881, “Harrods Store,” known for high-quality products and personalized service, had 100 employees. Richard Burbridge bought the store in 1894 and completely rebuilt it, installing London’s first moving staircase in 1898. Customers willing to ride the elegant new contraption were offered brandy and smelling salts at the top. The current domed building, encompassing 1.1 million square feet on seven floors, was completed in 1905.

Up to 300,000 people now visit Harrods each day, served by a staff of 5,000 from more than 50 nations. Reflecting the store’s motto, “Omnia, Omnibus, Ubique” (all things for all people, everywhere), 330 departments sell everything from pet food to important works of art. Food served at its 23 restaurants ranges from tapas to high tea. Among many attractions is the bank, where gold bars weighing 12.5 kilograms and marked with the Harrods name sell for more than $500,000. When Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed in 1997, Fayed’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, owned Harrods and immediately created a memorial inside the store to the young couple. In 2005, he added a controversial bronze statue of them dancing, which he labeled “Innocent Victims.” Harrods’ current owner, Qatar Holdings, the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar, recently returned the statue to the Fayed family, hoping to regain the patronage of the royal family Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
