City may infill parking lots with mixed-use projects

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With empty land becoming more scarce in Carmel, Mayor Jim Brainard is looking at expansive parking CITY NEWS lots throughout the U.S. 31 corridor to spur new development.

Brainard envisions the city partnering with developers to transform acres of “ugly parking lots” into “small walkable villages” surrounding the existing office buildings.

“Much like when you go to Europe, you’ve got a church on a hill with little villages around it,” Brainard said. “That’s sort of what the office tower will be.”

Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky said he’s had preliminary discussions with developers about bringing mixed-use projects to the corridor.

He envisions the redeveloped parking lots eventually resembling Midtown Plaza with multi-family residential units and other uses surrounding a gathering area.

The city could use tax increment financing to help fund parking garages, Mestetsky said, which would be used by workers

during the day and residents and visitors at night. He said a similar arrangement has proven to be successful in a Midtown garage that serves Merchants Bank employees during office hours and The Railyard residents and visitors at other times.

In addition, many people want to live near where they work and spend their free time, Mestetsky said.

“You’ve now created new neighborhoods

and new life,” he said. “That’s where people want to work these days. They want to go downstairs and find a place to eat. They want to go downstairs and find people playing in an urban plaza.”

Unlike vacant land, the office parks already have utilities and infrastructure running through them, erasing one hurdle for developers.

Carmel council could increase distance between new gas stations, residential areas

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council is considering expanding the setback for new gas stations adjacent to residential CITY NEWS areas and schools from 80 to 500 feet.

The Carmel Plan Commission already approved the change, but the city council will have the final vote on the matter. The council voted at its Aug. 16 meeting to send the ordinance to the Land Use and Special Studies Committee for further review. A committee meeting date has not been announced.

CCS implements mask mandate

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com On the second day of the school year, Carmel Clay Schools announced Aug. 13 that it would require all EDUCATION students and school employees to wear masks beginning Aug. 16, regardless of vaccination status.

CCS Director of Community Relations Emily Bauer said on the first day of the new policy 99 percent of students complied.

“There was no disruption to the school day at all,” she said. “Those who seek an exemption are being handled on a case-bycase basis.”

Previously, masks had been highly recommended for unvaccinated students and staff but not required.

CCS announced the change in emails to teachers and parents.

“Our responsibility is to ensure the safety and education of our students. Cases of

COVID-19 are on the rise among adults and children. We are witnessing neighboring districts experience a substantial surge in cases and hundreds of students quarantined. We must do everything we can to keep students safe and learning in the classroom,” the email stated.

According to state health officials, students who are 3 to 6 feet away from an identified case of COVID-19 do not need to quarantine if wearing a mask. The new policy at CCS aims to keep as many students as possible in schools after a positive case is identified.

Vaccinated students and staff will not be required to quarantine after a COVID-19 exposure.

Masks will not be required outdoors, and mask breaks will be offered throughout the day.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Noblesville Schools and Westfield Washington Schools also have implemented or announced mask mandates.

CCS temporarily suspends public comment at board meetings

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools announced Aug. 18 it would not provide time for public comment at its Aug. 23 school board EDUCATION meeting and moved the start time from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. Visit youarecurrent.com for meeting coverage.

CCS announced the changes in an email to parents that stated the new measures are in response to disruptions, verbal attacks, intimidation, inappropriate behavior and the presence of a firearm by an attendee at recent school board meetings.

“While meetings will remain open to the public, the repeated use of board meetings to advance outside agendas, promote division and create hostile environments, combined with email and social media threats to staff

and board members has led to these needed temporary changes,” the email stated.

Public comment at school board meetings has been suspended indefinitely, although CCS officials said the change is temporary.

By law, school boards and other government bodies are not required to allow public comment at meetings except for certain matters, such as public hearings. There were no public hearings scheduled on the Aug. 23 agenda.

CCS Director of Community Relations Emily Bauer said the meeting time was adjusted to “reflect the length of the agenda and availability of our board members.”

Those attending school board meetings will be subject to metal detection. To expedite entry, attendees are asked not to bring bags, backpacks or purses, which will be searched.

Face coverings are required, and signs and banners are not allowed inside the building.

The Evan Lurie Gallery is closing its doors in the Arts & Design District, but the “Brickhead Human” sculpture CITY NEWS that’s rested outside its front doors for a decade is here to stay.

The City of Carmel purchased the sculpture from New York-based artist James Tyler, who had consigned the piece to the gallery. Carmel’s Board of Public Works approved the $20,000 purchase at its Aug. 18 meeting.

“I didn’t want it to go away,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “It’s a fixture of the Art & Design District.”

The BPW vote came after Carmel’s Public Art Advisory Committee expressed support for the purchase at its July meeting.

“It has been very popular. It is a photo op for people when they’re on Main Street in downtown Carmel,” co-chair Julia Saltsgaver said. “It’s something I feel Carmel has become known for.”

Saltsgaver said the committee members were unanimous in supporting the purchase

of the piece, and most believed it is in the appropriate spot, at least for now. She said they left the door open to moving it in the future, depending on future uses of the building and surrounding area.

According to documents submitted to the city, the ceramic brick sculpture’s original price was $35,000 and its current value is $40,000.

The Evan Lurie Gallery opened at 30 W. Main St. in 2007. Earlier this year, Lurie announced he would close the gallery primarily as a result of business lost because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Determination helps spur run

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indiana Fire Juniors U18 Red Team coach Shane McIntyre knows his boys soccer team was special.

SOCCER “Determination, resilience, belief and team, those would be the best words to describe the team,” said McIntyre, who is the boys director of coaching for Indiana Fire. “These players trusted and believed in each other like no other team I have ever been around, and I’ve been doing this for about 20 years now.

They never quit believing they could do it, even after being in some tough circumstances in some games along the journey.

You can have special individual players but that only takes you so far.”

The team, which plays its games at Westfield’s Grand Park, reached the semifinals of the United States Youth Soccer National Championships before losing 2-1 to Kingdom FC of Michigan July 24 in Bradenton, Fla. Kingdom went on to win the national title.

“They really cared about each other and the team,” McIntyre said. “That, and the unbelievable support system I had from our family of coaches within the club. It wasn’t out of the ordinary to see four or five coaches sitting on our bench supporting the team. That goes a long way for me but also shows the players the investment that our club and coaches put into these players.”

The majority of the team’s players have been playing together since they were 13.

“We won our club’s first boys state and regional championship, so we really gained some valuable experience from those games and knew that we belonged in the conversation if we played to our potential,” said McIntyre, whose team qualified for the national tournament by winning the regional in St. Louis. “It was a journey we will

never forget and I couldn’t be prouder of the players. The support we received from the entire state of Indiana, from Indiana Youth Soccer to families within the club to coaches from other clubs in the state and Midwest, was incredible.”

The team finished with a 32-3-6 overall record, including 10-2-1 in state, regional and national tournaments.

“Hopefully, their legacy will inspire our younger teams in our club to set their goals high to go get that first national championship for our club,” McIntyre said. “That is if this group doesn’t make one more run at it next season since we will be returning 11 juniors and now have the invaluable experience of being so close and determined to get back to finish it out lifting the national championship trophy in 2022.”

Players from Hamilton County on the team included seven from Noblesville High School and four each from Carmel and Westfield high schools.

The CHS players are Baenan McKeown, Will Morgan, AJ Caito and Jackson Carl. The WHS players are Declan Wheeler, Collin Maris, Jacob Schurman and Ellis Douthit.

The NHS players are Brayden Doll, Gabe Ingle, Drew Cochran, Andy Stansfield, Spencer Holland, Michael Crandley and Brady Horn. Holland was one of the team’s leading scorers with 20-plus goals.

NHS soccer player aims for special season

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There is good reason why Noblesville High School’s Palmer Ault was named one of the 60 high school All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches after the 2020 season.

“Palmer has so many key qualities to his game,” Noblesville boys soccer coach Kenneth Dollaske said. “He is tremendous at keeping possession in tight spaces, has vision to find passing lanes most players wouldn’t even notice, cracks thunderous shots that leave opponent goalkeepers confused, and is deceptively quick, both with and without the ball. As he has grown throughout his time with our program, he has learned to embrace a captain’s role and make his teammates better on and off the pitch.”

A forward, Ault had 20 goals for the Millers last season. Noblesville has 13 seniors and several starters returning from last year’s 151-1 team. The Millers were ranked No. 1 in the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association preseason rankings. The season began Aug. 16.

“So, we’ll have a little bit of a target on

ern in last year’s sectional semifinals.

“We’ve added two great teams from Ohio that we’ve added to our schedule,” Ault said.

“This is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We have the guys to do (win a state championship). It just comes with hard work each day in practice, pushing

each other to be better players along with better people.”

Ault said he has improved his leadership skills.

“I’m trying to lead by example for some of the younger players,” he said. “From a tactical standpoint, I think I’ve improved upon my speed of play. Playing with some older, stronger guys helped me earlier in my career. Having some success at a younger age motived me.”

As a sophomore, Ault was named first team all-state. He played basketball and soccer through eighth grade.

“I enjoyed playing both and didn’t know which one I wanted to focus on,” he said.

“When I got to high school, I decided to concentrate on soccer and pursue that goal wanting to play in college. If a professional chance happens, that would be awesome.”

Ault played for Indy Premier for several years but will join Indiana Fire Academy after his high school season.

Ault said he hopes to make a college decision in the next two months.

“I’d say Butler is my No. 1 school,” said Ault, who also is considering DePaul, Loyola University and IUPUI.

Team wins national title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jessica Remm felt a wave of confidence on her team during the USA Softball Class A 16U National Championships.

SOFTBALL “There was this sense about us that we just weren’t going to lose,” said Remm, a Carmel High School senior. “From the first game we played that week, I felt like we all knew we weren’t going to let another team beat us.

We all wanted to perform our best for each other above anything else.”

The Shockwaves Rayman 16U won the national championship by beating Minnesota Magic Gold 2-1 July 31 in Sioux Falls, S.D. The team’s record was 9-0 in the national tournament. The Indiana team’s coach is Carmel resident Jeanne Rayman, a 1986 CHS graduate. She is a former Butler University softball player and head coach.

Rayman said the team had great chemistry, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

“We hit a rough patch in the middle of our summer, during which we started making uncharacteristic mistakes,” Rayman said.

“Those mistakes and having the opportunity to really view what we did in our coverage gave us the wake-up call on what we needed to fix.”

Remm hit .350 with 10 RBIs during the tournament. She was joined by fellow CHS senior Kylie Cunningham, who hit .538 with team-highs of five homers and 12 RBIs in the nine games.

“My swing felt powerful that week,” said Cunningham, who primarily played shortstop.

“I led the tournament off with a home run and everything snowballed after that. I didn’t have to try too hard, everything felt natural.”

Cunningham, who has committed to play softball for Belmont University, said the team

Books examine pioneer days

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel was a frontier wilderness when settlers arrived in 1822.

Carmel Clay Historical SociHISTORY ety historian Andrew Wright’s latest book, “Bethlehem and the Pioneer Settlements of Carmel,” describes how settlers built cabins, cultivated land, cut roads and built communities, including the establishment of Bethlehem, now Carmel, in 1837.

“Many of the children of the first pioneers wrote accounts of the earliest years of settlement, so we have a good idea of what life was like,” Wright said. “Some wrote about the dismal first days when they were vulnerable, living in make-shift shelters before their cabins were constructed. These shelters had no doors, just a sheet of fabric covering the opening. The wolves would come around after dark to prey on their sheep, and they would light sticks and brush heaps on fire to keep them away. It required a lot of hard work to build cabins, clear the forests and plant the first crops.”

However, Wright said several settlers wrote that they weren’t hungry because game and wild fruit were abundant in the forest.

Bethlehem was the only town established during the pioneer era, but many small communities centered around churches and schools developed throughout Clay and West Delaware townships. The book covers the pioneer era when Hamilton County was opened for settlement from 1822 to 1850.

The pioneer era ended in the 1850s when the state enacted the Free School Law, which called for the establishment of public school districts in each township.

Along with the new book, “Ketchum’s Town: The Lenape Village,” has been rereleased. It was originally sent only to CCHS members in 2018, and this is the first time it’s available for purchase. Wright said it contains new material.

Two centuries ago, the Lenape people lived in villages along the White River that stretched from the Hamilton/Marion county line to Muncie. One of those villages was in Carmel along Cool Creek.

“Ketchum’s Town” is the story of George

The Carmel Clay Historical Society recently rereleased ‘Ketchum’s Town: The Lenape Village’ and ‘Bethlehem and the Pioneer Settlements of Carmel.’ (Photo courtesy of CCHS)

Ketchum’s family. His mother-in-law, Barbara Burget, was captured as a girl from a wilderness fort in Kentucky during the Revolutionary War and adopted by Native Americans. Her partner, John Brewitt, was a French‐Canadian fur trader.

Wright said the Ketchums were a prominent Lenape family. George’s uncle, his brother and two of his nephews all held the position of principal chief of the tribe.

George was a local chief. Because Lenape towns of the period were often referred to in relation to the local chief, Wright said the previously unnamed town became Ketchum’s Town.

“One new discovery was particularly exciting,” Wright said. “Barbara Burget purchased land for her grandson, Charles Ketchum. It was 80 acres on the northwest corner of Main and Range Line. Her partner, John Brewitt, went back to the land office and had them change the ownership to his name instead of Ketchum’s. Brewitt died a few months later with Charles’ land in his name. Burget and Ketchum had to go to court to regain ownership of the land. We found an entry in the Register of Receipts in the Indiana State Archives that shows Ketchum’s name crossed out and replaced with John Brewitt’s name, proving that the testimonies about the betrayal were true.”

Wright said the Ketchums stayed in their village until 1832, so they lived among the settlers for 10 years.

Both books can be purchased at the Carmel Clay Historical Society’s Monon Depot Museum.

“Many of the children of the first pioneers wrote accounts of the earliest years of settlement, so we have a good idea of what life was like.”

Smoky Row student earns Commander’s Cup at Space Camp

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Elle Dominy has always enjoyed the night skies and space.

Now that the ACHIEVEMENT 11-year-old Carmel resident has attended Space Camp, she is fascinated by it.

The Smoky Row Elementary fifth grader attended the July 25-30 Space Cup Expedition 44 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., and received her graduation certificate July 29.

“I really enjoyed the planetarium,” Dominy said. “Learning about the constellations and asterisms was a magical experience.”

The weeklong educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math while training students and with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem solving.

“It seemed like a fun and interesting experience, especially learning about zero gravity and how it would feel,” Dominy said.

The program is specifically designed for trainees who have a passion for space exploration. Dominy spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission to the International Space Station, the moon or Mars. The crew participated in experiments and successfully completed an extra-vehicular activity, or spacewalk. Dominy and her crew returned to Earth in time to graduate with honors.

Dominy was in charge of the winning Orbiter team that won the Commander’s Cup. There were 29 teams for Space Camp with

nine to 11 team members.

“The key to winning the Commander’s Cup was staying calm during the mission,” Dominy said. “The mission was to complete several steps for the launch of the Orbiter.

Each person had a role in the mission, and in order for a successful mission, everyone needed to play their role on time. As the commander, I was in charge of guiding the Orbiter crew and responsible for landing the Oribter.”

Dominy said she would like to be an astronaut, and her interests include animal research in space.

The purpose of the first Prevail’s 100 Men Leadership Summit is to inspire and mobilize men in breaking the PREVAIL traditional mold of what it means to be a leader in the community.

“This idea is founded on 100 Men’s approach of self and youth development,” said Sara Roorbach, Prevail’s primary prevention specialist. “We wanted to provide a space for men to come together to learn how to be better men, especially male leaders. We understand that men hold influential space in our community, and we wanted to inspire and mobilize men in breaking the traditional mold of what it means to be a male leader.”

The event is set for 8 a.m. to noon Sept. 11 at the Cambria Hotel in Westfield. Breakfast and refreshments will be provided.

The keynote speakers are Kyle Miller, coordinator of social emotional learning for Westfield Washington Schools, Westfield Middle School principal Mike Hall and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. Attendees will learn the Web of Supports Model and how to en-

Carmel grad turns love of animation into video game career

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tori Campbell admitted she wasn’t much of a fan of video games growing up.

“I really like board games,” she said.

However, she was a fan of animation.

“I was a Disney nerd growing up,” she said. “You couldn’t get ‘The Little Mermaid’ away from me. It was more that (style of animation) or Pixar or ‘Finding Nemo’ or those type of animations.”

Now, the 2013 Carmel High School graduate is well immersed in the video game world as a full-time stage technician at 2K Games in Petaluma, Calif. She is working on titles such as “NBA 2K22,” “WWE 2K22” and other unreleased projects. She started with the company in June 2020, a month after receiving her master’s degree from Ohio State University.

“I work on the process of 3-D animation, combined with live performances from athletes or actors who come in for different types of projects,” Campbell said.

Campbell’s father, Tim Campbell, is an editorial cartoonist who started working for Current Publishing when Current in Carmel launched in 2006.

“I always kind of had that arts background growing up,” Campbell said. “From there, I decided how I could take that into the entertainment business, kind of geared toward film and movies. But it’s a very difficult industry to break into, and you have to get your foot in the door.”

Campbell had two internships where she worked on different types of video games.

The first was a one-month internship in 2018 at House of Moves in El Segundo, Calif., where she worked on “Mortal Kombat 11” and “Crucible.”

“The project consisted of me working on stage with the talent, developers and director in order to create the dance sequence used,” she said.

Then, she interned at Activision Central Tech for three months in the summer of 2019 in Santa Monica, Calif., where she worked on “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” and “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2.”

Campbell earned a bachelor’s degree in animation from Savannah College of Art and Design and then a master’s degree in de-

sign, specifically digital animation and interactive media, from Ohio State. Ohio State instructor Vita Berezina-Blackburn, an animation and motion capture specialist, said Campbell came to Ohio State well-prepared.

“Motion capture is an odd field in that it combines the need to constantly evolve one’s technical knowledge and work with people, performers and observers, that come from different disciplinary back-

grounds and technical awareness,” Berezina-Blackburn said. “During the many demos, workshops and tours at our Motion Lab, Tori did a fantastic job communicating complex ideas and instructions, guiding the participants in a thoughtful and friendly way.”

Berezina-Blackburn said Campbell’s biggest personal accomplishment was her own collaborative project, based on the life of Ruby Bridges.

“This truly massive and timely effort resulted in a virtual-reality experience with lots of characters performed by the OSU student actors,” Berezina-Blackburn said.

“Tori, along with her collaborator, conceptualized the project, did background research, identified and engaged several sensitivity/ cultural experts, recruited the actors, worked with a movement coach to direct capture sessions, all on top of the technical work that went into processing and editing the motion data.”

ON THE COVER: Tori Campbell wears a motion capture suit on the 2K Games basketball court stage newly designed with the specifications of a real court for optimum performance and coverage of athletes and talent. (Photos courtesy of Tori Campbell and 2K Games)

ANATOMY OF GAME DESIGN To begin a project, Tori Campbell said game designers create what they want to do with the game or storyline and sketch it out.

“When it gets to our part in the process, that’s when we are taking action with the actual human beings who are going to be playing whatever characters that are being played for the storyline,” she said.

The actors or athletes are put in a suit with gray reflective balls, called markers. The camera correlates the image into a skeleton, which captures their movement.

“So in NBA2K when someone wants to select (Dallas Mavericks star) Luka Doncic, we can do the exact moves he does,” Campbell said. “We’re not making it up as we go along. We actually get the talent in there to do those moves. We try to get who is on the cover. We don’t always get our cover athlete, but this year we were lucky and we got him.”

Doncic, who is on the NBA2K 22 cover, came in to do the shoot right after the Mavericks’ season ended in the playoffs in June.

There are 18 members on her team, and Campbell said the members rotate through different positions.

“My favorite part is being able to make really good relation-

ships with our talent, because we are there to make them comfortable,” she said. “Whether they are an actor or athlete, we get to know them as human beings and not just another co-worker for the day. To see how their performances translate into our animation is really fascinating. When people play a game, they don’t think about the person who is emulating the character.”

There are seven different stations and the stage technicians might alternate between them.

“With Luka, I was marking him up, making sure he had the right number of markers on his body, no less and no more,” Campbell said. “We were also setting up what helmet size would be the most comfortable for him to capture his facial data on set. We have to monitor his face in the shot.”

Campbell said there are probably less than 500 people who have a job like hers.

“It’s a very small industry,” she said.

She has been able to embrace some video games.

“I like to play games I haven’t worked on,” she said. “If I work on a game here, I know the story because I’ve been working on it for the past two months. I’m enjoying ‘Cuphead,’ which has (older style) ’Steamboat Willie’-type animation.”

No shame in Sin City

Commentary by Terry Anker It is terrific to get exactly what we want, exactly when we want it. Beginning in 1974, the fast-food giant Burger King capitalized on what it considered to be a weakness of its competitors — inflexibility. In what turned out to be one of the company’s, if not the nation’s, most successful campaigns, Burger King promised that its customers didn’t have to conform to the taste of someone else.

“Hold the pickles,” the smiling employee said. “Hold the lettuce,” another enthusiastically offered. “Special orders don’t upset us,” they promised in unison. “All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!” The company offered custom for the same price as off-therack. It worked as consumers loved the flexibility.

Times, as they seem to do, have changed. Burger King struggles to find the right advertising strategy — most recently promoting no preservatives with time-lapse images of rotting burgers. It’s unclear as to how this sells Whoppers. Regardless, others have discovered that customers like custom.

And in a world powered by computers, complex algorithms tailoring each element of nearly anything — from travel to tacos — is now simple enough. But more important, we have come to know that à la carte can be highly à la profitable.

Airlines earned $75.6 billion in fees for checked luggage, early boarding, peanuts and assigned seats. Not wanting to fall behind, hotels and others in the so-called hospitality industry are boarding the gravy train. We can expect charges for use of advertised amenities like pools, beach access and utilities (television/internet). With assurances that our individual costs will go down, most accept the pay-as-you go methodology. But is making less money the objective of the business? And is reduced service in the best interest of the consumer?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

— WILLA CATHER

I’ve done it, folks! I’ve successfully secured Worst Mom of the Year for 2021.

Instead of seeing a son off to France for his year abroad and taking last “First Day” pictures of my high school senior, I’ve been gallivanting in Vegas, loving every single minute of it. Shame hath no place on a mother’s vacation!

My husband Doo was attending a weeklong conference in Sin City and I decided to tag along, not realizing I’d be missing some major milestones in our children’s lives. But if I learned anything from my dad’s passing last year, it was to live every moment to its fullest, especially if said moment occurs in and around a desert casino.

So, I played the penny slots for several hours and then watched Doo hit on lucky number 13 in roulette. We sat mesmorized at a Cirque du Soleil show, alternating between “What the heck is happening?” and “Holy cow, these people are bendy!” We explored the Hoover Dam in ridiculously hot temperatures before heading to Red Rock Canyon for a gorgeous scenic drive. Although we never once spotted a stupid burro, tortoise, or rattler (as advertised), or actually left our air-conditioned rental car, for that matter, we imagined ourselves quite the nature enthusiasts.

All the while, I’m waiting for confirmation that Son did in fact catch his flight and arrive safely in Marseilles and texting frantic instructions for Senior to take those start-of-school selfies. But honestly, I never really felt that guilty.

Life is too short for shame, folks, even for mothers. “I’d like to thank the Las Vegas Strip, without whom this award would not have been possible!”

Peace out.

Will they still defend mayor?

“The personal service and attention are unmatched by other banks.”

— Reynold, Bank Client

Editor, Criticism of critical race theory is indoctrination! Denying America’s history of racism is indoctrination.

Consider: Benjamin Franklin in 1751 preferred only English-speaking whites from England emigrate to Pennsylvania. No Germans. No Italians, etc. Timothy Pickering coined the terms “negro president” and “negro congress” because the Constitution’s three-fifths clause gave Jefferson’s South a representation advantage in electors and Congress.

In the 1830’s Alex DeTocqueville wrote: “The prejudice of race appears to be stronger in the states that abolished slavery than in those where it still exists.” Indiana’s 1831 Constitution Article 13 stated: “No negro or mulatto

shall come into or settle in the state.”

In 1858, Abraham Lincoln said: “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and Black races.”

In his book, “The Strange Career of Jim Crow,” C. Vann Woodward observed: “The South’s adoption of extreme racism was due not so much to a conversion as it was to a relaxation of the opposition.” Now is not the time to relax the opposition to increased racism in America since 2016. We must talk about it, including in our schools.

Education is indoctrination! Racism is central to our history. Racism is learned. We must unlearn it.

I remember thinking at the time that such a public display of affection was unseemly for an elected official and probably embarrassing to the mayor.”

I hope one of these “concerned private citizens” will shed some light on the behavior of Haney over the years, and how the mayor and the HR department handled this very concerning situation regarding Mr. Haney, who thankfully again is just merely a “private citizen,” instead of Brainard’s chief legal counselor.

Eric S. Morris, Carmel

Client/Filename:

Editor, On April 25, 2019, Current published a letter by several female city employees, a few from the legal department, that stated, “The truth is: In all of the years that we have worked in City Hall, we have NEVER, let us repeat NEVER, experienced nor observed any inappropriate behavior by the mayor toward anyone.”

In light of the founded allegations of harassment by former city attorney Doug Haney against a legal department employee, I hope these women will defend the mayor publicly for his handling of the investigation of Doug Haney, whereby the victim was put on leave and Haney received pay after resigning.

The same Haney who as a purely private citizen has written letters to this paper in support of Brainard on April 23, 2015, and

No horsing around with this promotion?

Mary Ellen and I went to IKEA when it first opened, just to look around. I was mostly looking for the exit, HUMOR because the place was so massive, I was afraid we’d get lost.

No problem, since there were tiny bedrooms all over the store where we could have hung out for a nice, relaxing evening. Food would not have been an issue, either, since there is a huge bistro located in the center of the store. No need to ask for directions or follow floor markings; just walk toward the smell of Swedish meatballs.

IKEA spearheaded a new promotional campaign to celebrate its company and its customers, featuring the Huvudroll Meatball scented candle, part of the Swedish furniture company’s “Store-in-a-Box” gift, orchestrated to bring the sights, sounds and smells of its hallowed halls inside a surprise package. The candle is just one item in an assortment of merchandise that will be offered to exactly 986 customers on a lottery basis. Why 986?

No clue, but the number does look the same if you turn it upside down, just like the nightstand I bought at IKEA.

As of this writing, the marketing people have not completely decided what else to include in the box, or even how big the box will be. Said one executive, “We still haven’t put it all together, so we are not sure what it will finally look like.” This sounds vaguely like what I said after I tried completing my first IKEA bookshelf.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

– DICK WOLFSIE The meatballs haven’t been without controversy. Several years ago, IKEA was required to “withdraw” some of their food from supermarkets in Sweden because traces of horse meat were found in the product.

In racing terminology, horses are not “withdrawn,” they’re scratched. But no shopper wants to hear the phrase, “Effective immediately, we are scratching our Swedish meatballs.”

People tweeted about the horsey issue. Here were my favorites: • Tried both beef tacos and horse tacos.

Horse wins by a nose.

• My friend ate it and was hospitalized.

Condition: Stable.

• Ate too much. Gave me the trots.

• My roommate suggested we eat meatballs for lunch. I said WHOA, not so fast.

So, why was horse meat added to some products? Is it cheaper than beef? Aren’t horses harder to catch? Rabbit should be pricey. They should give turtle soup away.

On cooking websites, hundreds of recipes feature horse meat. A noted food critic says, “Most of the dishes are winners.” Seems like the winners would have a better chance of not being on the menu.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from.

Meanwhile, I look forward to learning what else will be put in that IKEA box. If I am one of the winners, I hope whatever is in there does not require assembly.

Life-changing pandemic lessons Commentary by Gay Murry The pandemic did so much to shine a light on the tough jobs of frontline workers.

Yes, my work caring for GIVING BACK individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a New Hope of Indiana home was difficult. It was even scary at times.

We had to mask up, social distance and take many other precautions. We couldn’t go on our usual outings with clients to help them feel part of the community, and their social isolation was devastating to watch.

But there were some amazing things, too.

Life-changing things. I hope others across the state will learn from my story and consider joining me as a Direct Support Professional, or DSP. I’ve been at New Hope for more than eight years and I truly enjoy taking care of my clients – cooking breakfast, keeping them strong and healthy, helping them with everyday tasks. The best part is joking and watching my clients smile, nod or laugh.

That kept me going through the months of isolation during the pandemic.

As in many other fields, New Hope and

other disability services agencies are facing a significant staffing shortage, particularly for DSPs. I hope that Hoosiers looking for meaning and purpose in a career will consider serving others as a DSP. It is the hardest and most rewarding work I’ve ever done, and it means more to me than any other job. The individuals I serve bring me so much happiness and they teach me more than I could ever hope to teach them.

New Hope is implementing pay increases thanks to additional funding from the state and federal governments, as well as providing numerous other benefits in hopes of hiring 50 new DSPs this year. While that is really great news, the best benefit of my job is getting to know our incredible clients and making a difference in their lives.

There’s nothing else like it.

Gay Murry is a Direct Support Professional at New Hope of Indiana, which has supported individuals with disabilities and their families for more than 40 years. New Hope of Indiana is actively recruiting DSPs for group homes in Hamilton County. For more, visit newhopeofindiana.org.

Fever player, coach deliver lunches to Breast Cancer Heroes

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Fever, represented by assistant coach Steve Smith and forward Jantel Lavender, dropped off GIVING BACK 100 lunches Aug. 11 at Ascension St. Vincent Carmel to honor the hospital’s Breast Cancer Heroes.

The event was held ahead of the Fever’s Breast Health Awareness Game at 1 p.m.

Aug. 28 against the Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

“I love to celebrate all causes, especially Breast Health Awareness,” Lavender said.

“To be here and let these ladies know they have our support just means a lot to me. We

are so grateful for health care workers. Anything we can do in this community to let all these ladies and the health care professionals know that they have the Indiana Fever’s support (we will do).”

Dr. Erika Giblin, from Ascension St. Vincent Carmel, said events like the Fever visit will encourage people to return to the facility to get a mammogram amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We want to prevent breast cancer death in general, but we want to make sure we don’t have even more people die of breast cancer because of the impact of COVID keeping them from coming in the door,” Giblin said.

Giblin said the Fever’s visit provides strong moral support for the workers.

DISPATCHES Advisory level moves to orange — The Indiana State Dept. of Health has changed Hamilton County’s COVID-19 Advisory Level from yellow to orange. That means community spread is medium to high and the county has a point score of 2.0 or higher on the ISDH monitoring scale. To reach a score of 2.0, a county must have 100-199 weekly cases per 100,000 residents and a seven day all test positivity rate of 10-14.9 percent.

The vast majority of those getting sick from COVID-19 are unvaccinated. While there have been a number of breakthrough cases among those who were fully vaccinated, most have had minor to moderate symptoms and are not often hospitalized.

Blood donations needed — Versiti Blood Center of Indiana is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donations. As the available blood supply has dropped to critically low levels, communities throughout the state face a potential crisis with less than a oneday supply of lifesaving blood available.

Because of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Versiti’s mobile blood collections are down more than 16,000 units of blood this year, with more than 4,500 units in Indiana alone. Versiti Blood Center has a location in Carmel at 726 Adams St. Suite 150. Schedule an appointment by calling 317-916-5150 or visit versiti.org/Indiana.

Coffee shop expanding north

BATHROOM

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Indie Coffee Roasters owner Diane McAndrews said one of the reasons the Carmel coffee shop is expanding to GROWTH West Lafayette is because she loves Purdue, but that’s not the only motivation.

For one, she said the timing is right. Indie Coffee Roasters was looking to expand at the same time Carmel-based Old Town Companies planned to build a mixed-use development called Provenance at Discovery Park District with multi-family and single-family homes and retail development in West Lafayette near Purdue University.

“We thought about potential, and (Old Town Companies owner) Justin Moffett builds a community, and we like to be part of a community,” McAndrews said.

The new Indie Coffee Roasters store is expected to open by early September. The space will be similar to the Carmel location at 220 E. Main St., in which there will be an open bar and similar décor. The menu also will be the same, but McAndrews said she expects to use a pastry chef local to West Lafayette.

McAndrews said she liked that Indie Coffee Roasters could grow with a community that also was experiencing growth.

“I think the Provenance location was the right time, right location,” McAndrews said.

“We could be part of the community as the community was growing and grow with it as they develop the houses. We are far

enough away it wouldn’t take away what we have here in Carmel, and there are students who have gone to Carmel High School now going to West Lafayette, and we can make (that community) familiar for them.”

In addition to growing its footprint, Indie Coffee Roasters has made changes in other areas, too. It recently updated its bags for bagged coffee and also is working to grow its website.

Old Town Companies Community Collaborator Rebecca McGuckin said it made sense for Indie Coffee Roasters and Old Town Companies to partner together.

“Both Old Town and Indie Coffee Roasters are just around the corner from each other (in Carmel), and we can appreciate what a great addition they are to our community in Carmel,” McGuckin said. “We are really excited to have this partnership to see the same momentum at Purdue.”

Carmel gears up for Artomobilia Weekend

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com With a mix of fast cars, collector cars, rare cars and classic cars — not to mention a car rally and a unique cuCARS linary experience that combines gourmet food and, well, cars — Artomobilia Weekend has something for virtually all car connoisseurs.

“It’s a great automotive weekend that showcases a great collection of cars against the really exceptional assets of the Carmel community, be that the Carmel Arts & Design District, Midtown or the Lucas residence,” said John Leonard, event coordinator for an attraction that has grown exponentially since its launch in 2008. “If you’re interested in cars, this event is perfect.”

With a laser-focus on exotic, classic and unique cars, Artomobilia Weekend revs up Aug. 27 with the annual SHIFT Road Rally through southern Indiana and the Fuelicious auto/dining event at Lucas Estate in Carmel. It crosses the finish line Aug. 28 in the Carmel Arts & Design District with the Artomobilia and Arto-Palooza automotive showcases.

“We have an impossibly broad and deep set of collector classes, enthusiast corrals and specialty groups that have something for every automotive interest,” Leonard said. “Further, the Carmel Arts & Design District, (with) its shops, merchants and restaurants, make for the perfect environment that is perfect for the whole family.”

Although last year’s event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artomobilia Weekend has drawn 20,000-plus visitors in recent years, with Artomobilia being the centerpiece.

Presented throughout the Arts & Design District, Artomobilia features several hundred enthusiast and collector cars, ranging from original, period-correct cars, exotic cars, classic cars, sports cars and racecars.

“Artomobilia is an eclectic car show, one of the largest and most diverse that focuses on automotive art and design,” Leonard said. “We’ll have more than 500 vehicles, from a 1908 Buick Model F to a

brand-new Ferrari Roma. We (also) feature rare cars that are not frequently seen in public. This year, our featured marquee is Lotus, and we’ll be showcasing the Lotus Evija, a $2.5 million, 2,000 horsepower all-electric hyper car.

“Gator Motorsport and Lotus Cars are bringing it from the U.K. to appear in Artomobilia.”

Rounding out Artomobilia Weekend are the SHIFT Road Rally, Fuelicious and Arto-Palooza.

SHIFT is a private 190-mile driving event through the backroads of southern Indiana. An annual fundraiser for various causes, this year’s beneficiary is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Another annual fundraiser, Fuelicious is a gourmet dining/auto showcase event at Lucas Estate that includes live entertainment and benefits Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana. More than 500 people typically attend.

A relatively new attraction established in 2019, Arto-Palooza is an “event-withinan event” at Artomobilia that will feature three groups of cars: Lotus, Porsche and BMW. “A big part of (Artomobilia Weekend) is

simply the City of Carmel’s support for the event since 2008 and the investment that has been made in the city (throughout) that period of time,” Leonard said. “Carmel is really quite exceptional in terms of its amenities and access to residents and guests. It also provides another perspective on what constitutes art. We believe cars are art, and in many ways (the event) pays tribute to the beginnings of the automotive industry here in Indiana.”

Rock the Junction set for Aug. 28

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

CARMEL COMMUNITY PLAYERS

2021-2022 SEASON

Marc Camoletti

Translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans

PG-13 Adult subject matter

“Fasten your seatbelts for the most deliriously funny flight of your life.”

– New York Times

Grand Junction Brewing Co. owner Jon Knight said the Rock the Junction beer and music festival was origFUNDRAISER inally an avenue for his business to give back to the community.

“From Day 1, we’ve wanted Grand Junction to be involved heavily in our community,” Knight said. “One of the ways we decided we could do that is by putting together a craft beer and music festival.”

This is the fifth year for the Rock the Junction festival. Traditionally held in the middle of May, it is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m.

Aug. 28 at the brewery, 1189 E. 181st St., Westfield. The event was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The brewery didn’t host the event in 2020. Knight said he expects the 2022 event to be in May. “We’ve probably generated over $50,000 in charity donations from Rock the Junction,” Knight said. “In fact, despite the COVID pandemic, we still donated for two scholarships at Westfield High School without the event.”

Typically, Rock the Junction funds two $2,000 scholarships. Because the event wasn’t held last year, Grand Junction Brewing Co. granted two $1,000 scholarships.

To apply, students submit an essay on why they feel they’re deserving of the scholarship. The essay is the only criteria for the scholarship, which makes it unique.

“It’s very different than other scholarships,” Knight said. “We provide scholarships in particular to graduating seniors pursuing vocational trades, because if you think about it, all the scholarships that are

out there are typically for four-year students with high GPAs, and (those students are) also getting other scholarship offers.

We recognized a need. We recognized there was a gap and there was a need in the community for scholarship money for those students who may not have the highest GPA and those students pursuing vocational programs.

“For example, if someone wanted to go out and study brewing science or become a diesel mechanic or vocational trade, this filled that void.”

The brewery is expecting 1,000 people for the event. Knight said he expects tickets to sell out. Twenty-five breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries will provide samples for attendees. The brewery will be closed to the public during the event but will open when it ends. Three bands will perform: The Dead Squirrels, Fast Cadillac and Chasing Katie.

Besides providing scholarships, Grand Junction Brewing Co. also has donated to charities such as the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, Indy Honor Flight and Indiana Suicide Prevention. For more, visit rockthejunction.com.

Autumn Elegance STYLE SHOW & LUNCHEON

Fresh Basil Café

Featuring healthcare hero models

Sponsored by the Riverview Health Medical Staff

Riverview Health Auxiliary invites you and your friends to attend the Autumn Elegance Style Show & Luncheon featuring the latest fashions by The Secret Ingredient, Bash Boutique and Riverview Health Gift Shop.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 313 Water St., Saugatuck, Mich.

What to get: Salmon bowl Price: $14.99 Anna’s take: This week’s column takes a bit of a different spin. I recently took a vacation to Michigan and stopped at Saugatuck, the halfway point to my destination, on the way back home. After a friend mentioned how much they loved visiting Saugatuck, I thought it would be a good idea to share one of the quaint town’s restaurants with our readers. Saugatuck has lots of waterfront-dining opportunities and endless restaurant options, but my travel companion (my mother) and I needed something quick and easy so we could beat a fast-approaching storm. We stopped at Fresh Basil Café, a little café with-gluten free and vegan

options. I ordered the salmon bowl, a delicious, fresh bowl of baby spinach topped with almonds, cucumbers, green onions, tomatoes, quinoa and, of course, salmon. It was drizzled with a tasty poppy seed dressing. My mother ordered the lobster roll and also was happy with her meal.

Saugatuck makes for an excellent weekend getaway, or at three hours away, it could even be a day trip if you’re feeling ambitious.

Behind bars: Gin Fizz Get it at Monterey Coastal Cuisine, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. Leatherbee Gin, .5 oz. simple syrup, club soda, 1 oz. fresh lemon juice, butterfly pea flowers Directions: Pour gin and simple syrup into a shaker tin and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Pour in a martini glass and top with club soda. Once table side, garnish with 1 oz. of freshly squeezed lemon juice and butterfly pea flowers.

Blueprint for Improvement: A modern master bath in Indy Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1998, this home is on Indianapolis’ north side. The new owners wanted to update the outdated master bath with sleek, modern finishes.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • Floating vanities in a warm maple finish replaced the floor-based cabinetry. LED lighting was added below for additional ambiance.

• Dark gray granite was used for the vanity countertops and the shower bench.

• The walk-in shower was updated with ceramic tile and a frameless door. Oilrubbed bronze fixtures add style to the space.

• A sculptural freestanding tub replaced the jet-style tub.

• The cathedral ceiling is accentuated with an artistic crystal chandelier.

Visiting Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, about 100 miles south of Indianapolis, recognizes the 14 formative TRAVEL years Abraham Lincoln spent in Indiana.

Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 near Hodgenville, Ky., to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. In 1816, after losing three farms in title disputes, Thomas moved his family to Indiana because of its reliable land surveys and slavery ban. He purchased 160 wooded acres from the federal government in what is now Spencer County for $320, payable over time. He built a one-room log cabin and began clearing about 80 acres.

When Nancy Lincoln died of milk sickness in 1818, Thomas buried her on a hilltop 1,500 feet from the cabin, establishing a small private cemetery. In 1827, Thomas Lincoln relinquished his claim to 80 acres and received clear title to the remainder. In 1829, he began building a new log home, but moved his family, including his second wife and stepchildren, to Illinois before completing it.

In 1879, with increased interest in all things Lincoln, Peter Studebaker of South Bend erected a head stone over the probable location of Nancy Lincoln’s grave. In 1917, archeologists discovered hearthstones from the unfinished 1829 house. In 1925, Indiana acquired 60 acres, including the cemetery and cabin site, and opened the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, with an allée designed

by Frederick Law Olmstead leading to the cemetery. In 1934, a mile-long Trail of Twelve Stones was added, marking significant events in Abraham Lincoln’s life. A bronze monument symbolizing a cabin foundation and fireplace was added. In 1943, Indiana

Bid adieu to words of ‘wisdom’ Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Have you ever tried to sound smart, and, as a result of doing so, used the wrong word? I’ve noticed this recently when people conGRAMMAR GUY fuse the words “ado” and “adieu.”

The first thing I think of when I hear “ado” is Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” I think Jerry Seinfeld got his idea for a “show about nothing” from Shakespeare’s play. “Ado” means “fuss, turmoil or hubbub.”

When people hear us use words like “ado,” they think we are the type of folks who know stuff about Shakespeare. Just don’t be surprised when you get peppered with a question about Richard III’s Machiavellian rise to power. If that happens, simply jump through the nearest window.

“Adieu” is French for “goodbye.” In the same way the Spanish compound word “adios” literally means “(go) to God,” “adieu” also means “(go) to God.” The original French phrase was “A dieu vous commant,” which translates to “I commend you to God.” In fact, this translation

completed a two-wing limestone memorial building, honoring Abraham and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, at the south end of the allée.

The site, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, now includes a reconstructed 1820s farm, with staff members in period dress answering questions about the time the Lincolns lived there.

is identical to the phrase “a dios vos acomiendo,” from which we get the word “adios.”

These fancy foreign language goodbyes began with strong religious overtones.

Similarly, the English word “goodbye” was initially a contraction for “God be with ye.”

Now we just say “bye.” “Bye” is shorter but doesn’t sound nearly as artful as “adieu.”

If you don’t understand all the ado about “ado” and “adieu,” imagine you’re at an exclusive roof party in a secret neighborhood in Brooklyn called NoHoSoBro. At the end of an extravagant night of martinis and overpriced fish eggs, you make your exit by saying, “Thanks for inviting me to your soiree, Beyoncé. Ado!” Because of your fancy phrasal faux pas, you won’t ever again be able to locate the secret neighborhood of NoHoSoBro.
