Developer AZR Haver is proposing four townhomes on the southeast corner of Main Street and SherJOHNSON ADDITION man Drive, but many residents of the adjacent Johnson Addition neighborhood are opposed to the plan, telling the Carmel Plan Commission Aug. 20 they are concerned about the project changing the character of the area and leading to subsequent proposals that could do the same.

The two-story, mid-century modern townhomes are proposed for .43 acres currently home to a single-family dwelling. Developers are requesting a rezone to urban residential zoning — which allows townhomes — to accommodate the project, which they say will add a missing option to the variety of home styles available in Carmel.

Chris Engel, an attorney representing the developer, said because the project faces Main Street, it’s an appropriate fit for the area.

“If the proposed project were to be located in the interior of the Johnson Addition, the consideration of the project would be much

different, but a clear distinction can be made based on the location of this property,” Engel said.

This is not the first time Johnson Addition homeowners have expressed concern about redevelopment affecting the neighborhood, which was built in the 1950s. In 2014, homeowners attempted to designate the neighborhood as a conservation district, which would have made it more difficult for major redevelopment. The city council narrowly approved the designation, but Mayor Jim Brainard vetoed it. The council did not vote to override the veto.

“This appears to wipe clean our heritage with one or two quick passes of a bulldozer,” said Wes Bucher, who spoke on behalf of a

group of nearby residents.

Johnson Addition offers some of Carmel’s most affordable homes. Many residents are worried about redevelopment diminishing the already shrinking inventory of affordable homes, as other older neighborhoods nearby have recently seen large, luxury homes replace aging houses.

“We’re not in need of a townhome product in downtown Carmel,” said commissioner Carrie Holle, a Realtor who said townhomes in Carmel typically spend 60 days on the market.

“What we’re more in need of in downtown Carmel is something that’s affordable. It’s hard to get anything right now in much under $600,000 in downtown Carmel.”

Commissioner John Adams said he’s concerned a rezone could have a negative impact on surrounding homes.

“I don’t see a compelling reason to change the zoning,” he said. “Just because there are other parcels that are zoned differently (nearby) is not a good reason to take a small parcel and rezone it.”

The commission’s residential committee will further discuss the project and rezoning request at its 6 p.m. meeting Sept. 3 at Carmel City Hall.

64 townhomes proposed on Rohrer Road

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Lennar Homes of Indiana is proposing 64 townhomes on 6.8 acres between Rohrer Road and the Monon DEVELOPMENT Trail, but the plan has some neighbors and Carmel officials concerned about density and other issues.

The Carmel Plan Commission considered a rezone request at its Aug. 20 meeting to accommodate the three-story townhomes, which would range from 1,700 to 2,400 square feet and cost between $275,000 and $350,000.

the project will lead to increased traffic and negatively affect home values in the surrounding areas. They also expressed concerns about the aesthetics of building townhomes

in an area surrounded by single-family homes, but Jon Dobosiewicz, an attorney representing the developer, said it’s not uncommon in Carmel.

“There are numerous examples of a mix of townhomes and other residential housing projects throughout our community,” he said, noting the Townhomes at Hazel Dell as an example. “They’re not all just concentrated within a core area of the community.”

CPC President Brad Grabow said he is concerned about the density of the proposal.

“This looks like every square inch of this site has living units available for sale crammed on it,” he said.

The CPC’s residential committee will discuss details of the project at its Sept. 3 meeting at Carmel City Hall.

Carmel development would include art groups, apartments, retail

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ballet Theatre of Indiana Artistic Director Stirling Matheson envisioned a home not just for his organization but also for other nonprofit arts organizations.

DEVELOPMENT Matheson, who founded the Carmelbased ballet group with his wife, Sabrina, discovered that Northgate Redevelopment Group president/founder Sahar Montalvo embraced that vision.

Ballet Theatre of Indiana and Carmel-based Northgate Redevelopment Group announced at the ballet group’s Aug. 16 benefit at Prime 47 Carmel their plans to purchase approximately 4 acres on the corner of Old Meridian and Main streets for a mixed-used development. The group has a purchase agreement for the land with Stout’s Footwear, whose owner, Brad Stout, plans to relocate in Carmel.

“Sahar has been an ideal partner. He’s really committed to proving this business model and using real estate as a way to build a better and more sustainable business model for nonprofits,” Matheson said.

The organization is named the Central Indiana Performing Arts Center. The building will be held as a real estate investment trust.

“That puts us in a situation that Ballet Theatre of Indiana can benefit from the proceeds of the building, and a portion of every rent payment we get on the apartments, the retail and offices, all of that is going to Central Indiana Performing Arts Center,” said Matheson, adding that Ballet Theatre of Indiana is a division of the Central Indiana Performing

Arts Center. “That will give us a budget baseline that will keep us solid and sustainable and allow us to focus our fundraising on special projects instead of day-to-day expenses.

“The other portion is going to Northgate Redevelopment Group and their investors.”

The building will include dance rehearsal space and an art gallery, Matheson said.

“I’ll be soliciting donors and offering naming rights for individual studios as well as the Arts Center,” said Matheson, adding that a name for the development has not

been selected. “On the nonprofit side, I’m looking to raise at least $15 million, then the rest of the expenses will be paid through Northgate Redevelopment Group’s investors, and we’re also looking for (tax increment financing) bonds through the city.

“We are partway through that process. We’re talking to the city but nothing is completely nailed down in terms of exactly what percentage is TIF and what that bond is really going to look like.”

The arts area would be 40,000 square feet.

“There will be cross training and recovery areas for the dancers, office space for us and potentially other organizations,” Matheson said. “There will be rehearsal space for us as well as others. The group floor will be modular space with an art gallery and will also have portions blocked off and turned into studio space if necessary.”

Matheson said the largest studio can be converted into a small theater with approximately 130 seats. However, he said his ballet organization will continue to perform in larger venues, such as the 400-seat Basile Theatre at the Historic Atheneum in Indianapolis.

Matheson said he hopes the project will break ground in the spring of 2020. A completion date has not been projected.

“Most of it is four stories and the arts section is five stories,” Matheson said.

The building will include approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space, 40,000 square feet of office space and 60 apartments, Matheson said.

Braun, Niederberger vie for seat

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two Republicans have jumped into the race for Indiana’s 5th District: Former state repreCONGRESS sentative Steve Braun and Indianapolis businessman Danny Niederberger.

Braun, a Zionsville resident, filed paperwork with Braun the Federal Election Commission Aug. 23 and plans to make a formal announcement about his candidacy after Labor Day, according to campaign manager Andrew Greider.

Braun served in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2014 and was the commissioner of the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development until 2017. He was not available for comment as of press time.

Niederberger, a 27-year-old Westfield High School and Purdue University graduate, said his campaign will look a little different than most, as he won’t accept donations but will pay for his campaign out of pocket.

“For me, (expensive campaigns) don’t

make any sense,” he said. “Why would you put so much money into electing an official when that money could go toward education or any of the other problems we have in our society?”

Niederberger works as a fund accountant for Miamibased Concise Capital.

Niederberger’s campaign is built on five pillars: rights of the unborn, reducing government debt, supporting the second amendment, Niederberger enacting term limits and reforming education. This is his first run for elected office.

“I am running to bring trust, responsibility, accountability and leadership to Congress,” Niederberger said.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks recently announced that she will retire from Congress at the end of her term.

Noblesville resident Micah Beckwith, a pastor at Northview Church, also has announced plans to run in the Republican primary, and other candidates are expected to join the race soon. On the Democratic side, Dee Thornton, Christina Hale and Jennifer Christie are seeking the seat.

UHS teacher explores France

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Shannon Swann had the time of her life.

Swann, who teaches French at University High School in Carmel, EDUCATION received $12,000 from the Lilly Endowment Teachers Creativity Fellowship Program to explore history, cuisine, products and the natural beauty of southern and western France and some lesser-known parts of Paris and Ile-de-France.

“Calling it an amazing summer does not begin to capture what I experienced,” Swann said. “It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime summer,” The Indianapolis resident said the best part was having the time and freedom to set her own agenda.

“I love traveling with students, but we tend to go to the same places because for them, it is often their first time there and they want to see the highlights,” she said.

“I wanted to see a different side of France.

Driving through the countryside, up narrow winding mountain roads, learning to navigate toll booths and roundabouts and tight parking spaces, talking one-on-one with local people in various regions of France, seeing some of the stunning natural beauty of France — the Calanques of Cassis, the Verdon Gorge, the lavender fields, mountaintop villages, and the largest sand dune in Western Europe – all of these gave me a new perspective and a deeper appreciation of France’s diversity.”

Highlights for Swann were making her own perfume, attending the night fountain and fireworks show at Versailles and visiting the town of Oradour-sur-Glane.

“The historic sites were important to me because I know that France today has

evolved from the France of yesterday,” she said. “I visited Roman ruins, Renaissance castles, a medieval fortress, a Troglodyte village and World War II sites, among other things.”

Swann, who once spent a year studying in France, even took cooking classes during her five-week trip. She said she’s not a great cook but enjoys it.

“I was able to get great tips, shop at local markets and put together a meal from start to finish,” Swann said. “I also am not very knowledgeable about wine, so taking a class and visiting vineyards were really interesting and gave me some insights into wine and wine-making.”

Swann said she has several ideas about how to share what she learned on the trip when she takes her class to France during the January 2020 term, including studying kings, particulary Henry IV and Louis XIV. “I spent some time visiting sites related to each of them and think it would be interesting to do a class that focused on one specific ruler or perhaps a select group, followed by visits to their homes,” she said. “I think a course on France under the Nazi Occupation could really open students’ eyes to what it was like for the French during that period. American history classes often focus on battles and D-Day, which are important, but the French lived through the war from beginning to end, and signs of that experience are still everywhere in France, from monuments to street names.

“Finally, a class on Roman France, from the fall of Vercingetorix (a Gallic chieftain) through the years of the Roman occupation, focused on the ways in which what is now France was shaped in many ways by that era could be really interesting, particularly if we were able to visit some of the magnificent Roman sites that exist in France.”

CHS athlete helps win world title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nishesh Basavareddy is a big fan of slower surfaces.

“Red clay suits my game TENNIS well,” he said. “I like to work the point more and wear down my opponent. I like to finish off with spreading the court and hitting angles, then coming to the net.”

That served him well as the United States’ 14-and-under team played on red clay in the World Junior Tennis Finals Aug. 5-10 in Prostejov, Czech Republic.

The Carmel High School sophomore, one of three boys on the U.S. squad, was 11-0 in his singles and doubles matches in helping the U.S. win the team championship.

“It was a really good experience,” he said.

“I got to see a lot of players from other countries, see what their game styles were and how I matched up against them. The level of play was really good because it was the 16 best countries in the world that came with the best juniors 14-and-under, so it really helped me see what I need to improve on to be with them.”

In July, Basavareddy was the boys 14 sin-

gles champion and boys 14 doubles finalist at the United States Tennis Association National Clay Court Championships in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He won the 14 Midwest Closed 16-and-under singles title on hard courts.

Basavareddy said he has started to hit the ball deeper this year.

Basavareddy, who will turn 15 in May 2020, concentrates on junior tournaments rather than playing high school tennis.

“I have quite a few tournaments coming up later this fall,” he said.

8-year-old shines on golf course Students benefit from David Weekley homes school supplies drive

By Emma Uber news@currentincarmel.com The 2019 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship featured one of Carmel resident Maya Keuling, an 8-year old ACHIEVEMENT third-grader at Cherry Tree Elementary School.

Keuling joined more than 1,500 players from 50 nations Aug. 1-3 in Pinehurst, N.C., to compete for age-group championships.

She placed 44th out of 68 competitors in her age group and placed fifth in the World Putting Championship for boys and girls ages 8 to 12.

Keuling began taking golf lessons last year and her love for the sport has developed ever since.

“I saw my mom and dad’s golf clubs in the garage, and I wanted to play because it looked so fun to me,” she said.

Keuling takes lessons from Scott Steger, a former PGA Tour pro. She practices about four hours per day. Her family credits her dedication for her success. She has also begun working with Brian Seymonds to improve her putting. Seymonds is based in

Florida and is featured in the Netflix documentary, “The Short Game.”

“Brian changed how Maya grips her clubs and corrected her swing,” said Eric Keuling, Maya’s father. “He was impressed with her and said that she is very talented and has a chance to become an elite player.”

Although she enjoys practice, Keuling’s favorite part of the sport is the competition.

“My favorite part of golf is winning,” she said.

Indianapolis, IN (August 22, 2019): David Weekley Homes, the nation’s largest privately-held builder, hosted its fifth annual, companywide School Supplies Drive in 18 cities across the country.

“When we asked, ‘Is the message on point and important?’, to a student, the answer was, ‘Yes,’” CHS Principal Tom Harmas said. “I think they’re grateful, too, that we’re broaching the subject, because it’s even difficult for them to talk about it with their friends, let alone adults.”

CHS officials said all students on sports teams, in performing arts programs and in student government are scheduled to hear the presentation this school year, which is approximately half of the more than 5,000 students at the school. School leaders want to expand the program in future years to make it available for any student interested in hearing it. Parents may choose to opt their child out of the program.

‘SOMETHING ELSE’

CCS aims to empower students to stop sexual assault through innovative new program

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com No one likes to talk about it, but that’s a big reason Carmel Clay Schools officials feel they must.

Several athletes at Carmel High COVER STORY School will soon be among the district’s first students to experience a new program designed to inform and empower students called “Step Up to Stop Sexual Assault.” The district sent an email Aug. 20 to parents of students on teams scheduled to hear the presentation to let them know when their student would participate in it in lieu of practice.

“If our kids have solid, good information, it can help them make better decisions.

It can help them be safer and it can help them keep their classmates and friends safer,” CCS Supt. Michael Beresford said.

The 45-minute presentations will be made by attorneys from Church, Church, Beresford Hittle + Antrim, a law firm that has been making similar presentations to college students for several years. This is the first time it’s taken the modified program to a high school, and CCS officials believe it’s the only program of its kind for high schoolers in the state.

Male and female student-athletes will Harmas be separated for the presentation but will receive similar information. Coaches and teachers will not be present, but the district will have a counselor available for those who wish to talk.

CCS recently piloted the program with a small group of students and discovered it provided information they were thankful to hear.

The presentation is designed to help students avoid becoming a victim or perpetrator of sexual assault and identify and respond to possible incidents around them. The program covers issues in relationships between students and identifies warning signs to spot inappropriate behavior between students and school employees, too.

CCS officials said they are offering the program to be proactive, not to address a situation unique to Carmel.

The district hasn’t been immune to the issue, however, as earlier this year a former swim coach was sentenced to 16 years in federal prison after admitting to sexually exploiting a student.

“We have had events in Carmel, and we’ve had events in Hamilton County. I don’t know too many colleagues that haven’t dealt with one level or another of this type of activity,” Beresford said.

“Sometimes, you just come to a moment where you go, ‘Enough.’ You’ve got to do something else, and this is that something else.”

CCS general counsel David Day and Beresford came up the idea during a disDay cussion about student safety. Day, who works for Church, Church Hittle + Antrim, said he’s been dealing with the issue his entire 42 years as a lawyer, “I’ve dealt (with it) at rural school corporations and in suburban and urban school situations,” he said. “It happens because of the age of the kids and because of the interaction that occurs. It’s human nature to a certain extent.”

Although sexual assault may not be a new problem, smartphones and social media have changed how it often occurs and has given school employees unprecedented access to students, Day said.

“I did not spend a lot of time my first 35 or so years worried about teachers texting students or the ability of the kids to exchange (inappropriate) photographs,” Day said.

POWERFUL INFORMATION

As an attorney, Day said there’s one constant he sees in sexual assault cases involving high schoolers that he’s handled through the decades, and it’s convinced him that it makes sense to bring students into the conversation.

“The one thing we always know is when there’s a situation involving an inappropriate relationship, invariably other students know about it,” Day said. “Parents may not know about it, teachers may not know about it and administrators may not know about it, but invariably other students know, so we need to enable our students to help each other to avoid these situations that are harmful.”

Kelleigh Fagan, one of the attorneys who gives the presentations, said students don’t often know what to do with troubling information.

“There’s some fears that if they have information, they’re going to get in trouble for talking about it, or somebody’s going to get mad at them for talking about it,” she said. “We try to get rid of that fear and give them really easy tools to know what to do Fagan with that information.”

Beresford said he expects other school districts will follow Carmel’s lead in implementing similar programs. He said he wishes his three kids could have seen the presentation in high school.

And although the topic is difficult to talk about, Beresford believes it’s well worth a bit of discomfort if it improves student safety.

“I have faith in our kids that when they have good information and good direction, they’re going to be safer and make better decisions,” he said.

SOBERING STATISTICS

10% 18-24 78%

An estimated 10 percent of students experience school employee sexual misconduct by the time they graduate high school, according to the U.S. Dept. of Education. But students are seven times more likely to be sexually assaulted by a fellow student, according to research conducted by The Associated Press.

The numbers only rise when students graduate from high school. According to Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, women age 18 to 24 on college campuses are three times more likely than other women to experience sexual violence, and women of the same age but not in college are four times more likely.

RAINN also reported that male college-aged students are 78 percent more likely than nonstudents of the same age to be a victim of a sexual assault.

That’s why Carmel Clay Schools officials hope the information presented in the “Step Up to Stop Sexual Assault” presentation will benefit students well beyond their years at CHS. They also hope it sheds light on what is appropriate and what’s not before it’s too late.

“We want (students) to not only not be a victim in those scenarios, but we don’t want people to be placed in a sitInskeep uation where they could be considered a perpetrator, either,” CHS Athletic Director Jim Inskeep said. “We’re not only trying to give them the tools to succeed now but also in the future.”

ESSAY

LETTER Take a vacation from electronic devices

Noticing failure Commentary by Terry Anker The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is an award winner. It routinely touts itself as an outstanding example of what a citizen-facing government agency can be. Our fine state has long worked to improve its services and attitude in dealing with we Hoosiers. Still, there are no guarantees. In four out of five exchanges, we have come to expect good, quick interactions in a clean and friendly environment. So, what of the dreaded fifth? What is the right number for failure?

On a recent such “fifth.” the BMV staff was a bit muddled about how to properly transact a rather unusual swap of titles and plates between related family members.

Knowing of the potential for confusion, the local branch was contacted and, separately, so was the main office downtown. Slightly different but related answers gave hope that a solution would be easily found.

The ticket number, 44, was called to the desk at around 9:15 a.m. While there were two customers, only one chair was provided. The others were “zip-tied” together. Theft must be a problem. Alas, the transaction quickly flummoxed the pleasant woman seated behind the desk. Her supervisor had little more knowledge. “Try this” he said. If it didn’t work, they’d “try” something else.

Soon, an hour passed. Still, while all the employees were comfortably seated, the customer stood. Number 78 was called, then No. 114, then 143. With the closing of another hour, the transaction was finally complete. Under tremendous duress, the branch assistant manager became involved, bringing his own chair to the desk, and was able to find a solution, albeit a clumsy one.

Did they even see the failure? Do we notice our own – and if so, do we act like it matters?

Ready or not ... I’m not!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Tomorrow is the big day, people. I’m headed to the West Coast to drop off one of my twinkies at college. Yikes! What if I can’t do it, without, you know, crying?

HUMOR The horror!

I mean, I should be good, right? It’s not like I haven’t been through this before. When we drove Older Brother down to IU for the first time, I did an amazing job of suppressing my emotions. Now, it helped that he’d chosen a school less than 90 minutes away by minivan and with half of his graduating class in attendance.

But still, I handled the adios like a champ.

Except for a small meltdown at a Chick-fil-A earlier that summer, I shed no tears whatsoever. “Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out, kiddo!”

But this feels radically different. In less than 48 hours, I’ll be single-parenting in a

strange city, 2,300 miles from here, saying goodbye to a son whom I once called my boiled chicken baby (his twin sister stole most of the food, so he was born rather puny. I can easily recall rocking him in those first few weeks and thinking, “I shouldn’t be able to see his bones. Where’s the beef?”).

And then I’m expected to board a plane, fly home and ignore the fact that it will be Christmas before I see him again? What the fudge, friends? I’m not sure I can do that with dry eyes and a happy face. Seriously, how am I supposed to let this one go?

Tomorrow’s the big day, and he is definitely ready. I’m just worried that I’m not.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.”

— Søren Kierkegaard

Editor, This is in regards to the article “Traveling With Technology” that appeared in the Aug. 13 edition of Current in Carmel.

The author states that his family of five travels with at least 12 electronic devices.

He then offers several tips to readers that will allow them to maximize the use of their devices when traveling. It’s all very sad.

A family vacation should be a time to disconnect from digital devices and the excesses of shallow media hype. The focus should be on experiencing new places to the fullest, interacting with each other and using your initiative and imagination to create your own entertainment.

If you can’t survive a vacation without a steady diet of Netflix, YouTube or Fortnite, then you might as well save your money and stay home.

We can choose to control our use of electronic devices, or we can allow our devices to hold control over us. Too many parents are making the wrong choice.

Dave Fox, Carmel

Mary Ellen and I just returned from a trip to San Francisco with our friends the Murphys. The last time we were HUMOR in California was 40 years ago on our honeymoon, but we weren’t going to let one bad experience prevent us from giving the Golden State another try.

On this vacation, we stayed at a very old hotel, which you would think would be a good choice for four kinda old people.

We got a senior discount on the room and senior dinner specials. Why, then, I wondered, did we end up with a bathtub that would be a challenge for a 20-year-old Olympic pole vaulter?

The tub was probably in that bathroom since the early 1900s, a time in our history when the average lifespan was 47 years, unless someone never bathed or showered and then could maybe make it to 60 without breaking his neck.

This claw-foot tub’s sides were 3 feet high, with no railings or rubber bathmats to reduce the chance of slipping when entering or exiting the combination tub/shower.

This freaked out my wife, who said, “You can’t step into something that high above your knees. Not at your age.”

“That’s what you said the last time I put on a pair of shorts.”

“Dick, promise me you will not get into that bathtub unless I am standing here holding you and watching your every move.”

“You know, Mary Ellen, 40 years ago that would have been a really seductive thing to say. Now, it just sounds kind of creepy.”

“As for me, Dick, I can’t go another day without washing my hair.”

“Well, it’s either dirty hair or a broken neck.”

Thankfully, we both managed to bathe and shampoo safely before we packed for our return home. On our flight, we assessed our vacation.

“Let’s see,” Mary Ellen said. “We saw Alcatraz and enjoyed hiking Yosemite, we risked life and limb in the bathroom.”

“Tell you what, Mary Ellen, let’s just call it a wash.”

READERS’ VIEWS Let’s continue to support light show like a beacon on Highway 37.

Many thanks go to the Reynolds family for providing this Christmas tradition to our community free of cost for so many years.

What an amazing gesture of generosity that is so indicative of the farming community that gives to help neighbors, not counting the cost, but sacrificially giving to meet the needs of others.

I hope the community will now come alongside Conner Prairie and Reynolds Farm Equipment to support this new endeavor.

This is one tradition I would certainly be remiss to lose and I will be one of the first in line to financially support this cause for Christmas. I hope other Hoosier households will join me and come together to give back to preserve this Christmas family tradition for years to come.

Tightening gun laws protects students Editor, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, in my opinion, is to be commended for his stance on gun reform by endorsing Congressional bills H.R. 8 and H.R. 1112, supporting the tightening of background checks and banning unlicensed transfers of guns through unregulated sales.

Carmel Clay Schools Director of Student Services David Woodward, in my opinion, is to be commended for partnering with nearby school districts to create a countywide mental health response team and training CCS school board members on how to use a tourniquet as a measure to improve student safety.

Now, hold on! What am I missing here?

I recall fire drills, CPR training, severe weather warning protocols when my kids went to school. Am I now having to worry if my grandkids’ teachers will know how to stop the bleeding from gunshot wounds? To hold teachers responsible for my grandkids’ safety by training them to use tourniquets from alleged mentally unstable lunatics with a gun is equivalent to teaching them to put a Band-Aid on a hemorrhage.

Schools are not for learning how to hide in closets for fear of being shot from weapons of war. Our kids are counting on us to keep them safe. Support gun safety legislation!

Community invited to soldier’s memorial service Editor, My brother, Army Lt. Kim Lee Gage, left a legacy not only in the hearts of his family and friends but also for his soldiers. The family has created Fishin4Vets in his honor to continue to aid fellow soldiers with post traumatic stress disorder wherever they are in the world.

Lt. Gage began purchasing and collecting donations these past three years while he recuperated from his first of many massive grand mal seizures while still on active duty in 2016 at the Pentagon in Washington DC. Lt. Gage believed that by taking others out fishing, he could help provide a coping op-

tion to ease some of the symptoms of PTSD. Additionally, Lt. Gage not only visited his Carmel family over the years but also visited Carmel in 2015 to speak to Carmel youth at Carmel High School’s Military Club.

He will be honorably buried at Arlington National Cemetery in October 2019. A Celebration of Life Memorial will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Sept. 6 at Grace Church in Noblesville to honor an Indiana hero.

Editor, Recently, I renewed my Conner Prairie membership and was delighted to learn that Reynolds Farm Equipment is loaning their holiday light display to Conner Prairie.

Since moving to Carmel in 1999, heading over to the Fishers Reynolds location during the holiday season has been a highlight.

Once our children arrived it became a yearly pilgrimage and a new Christmas tradition for our family. My small children were mesmerized by this Christmas curiosity and virtual wonderland of lights.

Last week while making a purchase at the Fishers Reynolds store, the rumor I heard earlier at Conner Prairie was confirmed by my salesman. He also informed me of the immense amount of work it takes to assemble, repair and maintain this masterpiece, not even mentioning the cost to illuminate this Christmas miracle that shines

Residents of the Memory Lane unit at The Barrington of Carmel senior living center recently enjoyed a blast DEMENTIA from the past.

The residents took part in “The Joy of The Journey,” a prom event featuring music and dancing Aug. 16 primarily for those with memory issues and their spouses.

“A lot of our residents have relatives that live in the community or close by, so we wanted to create a good experience for the families to come visit,” said Sarah Lopez, lifestyles coordinator for memory support.

“Especially with dementia, it’s difficult to have a good, joyful visit with them, so we wanted to create an event that would bring joy and closeness.

“Music always brings back memories and where you came from.”

Memory Care Coordinator Kayleigh Lyell came up with the idea, which The Barrington wants to make an annual event. “(Lopez) really helped put it all into motion for me and was my driving force,” Lyell said.

Lyell said 24 residents attended and that the event was a success.

“At the Barrington, our memory support is all about creating moments of joy for our residents, and one of everyone’s favorite past events happens to be prom,” Lyell said.

“The dance floor was packed with residents and families, and almost everyone had family who showed up.”

Memory Lane unit. Phillip, 87, has dementia and short-term memory loss, McAteer said.

“I love (the event) already,” McAteer said.

“It’s fun and different. I’ve never done anything like this before.”

McAteer said the couple has always shared their love of music. She said her favorite music is whatever Lopez sings.

Lopez sings with The Barrington 5, which performs a variety of music. However, a disc jockey worked the prom.

The couple has lived in The Barrington for five years. Phillip did not need to be in Memory Lane when they initially moved in.

Jack Krampe and his wife, Thelma, were among the attendees. Thelma, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, has been in the memory unit for three months.

They will celebrate their 71st anniversary Sept. 5.

Krampe said their favorite music is from the Big Band era.

“We were teenagers during World War II,” he said.

Blue light glasses — Eyewear companies now offer an option for lenses that block blue light emitted by phones and tablets.

It’s true that evening exposure to blue light can interfere with sleep. We still need exposure to blue light, however, during the daytime. It’s a natural component of sunlight and enhances attention, reaction times and mood. So, blue light blocking-glasses may do more harm than good.

Avoid food poisoning — Studies show that people with a healthy digestive tract are less vulnerable to food poisoning. Boost your gut health by eating foods with beneficial bacteria such as yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut. You can also supplement with a probiotic containing 5 to 10 billion units daily of acidophilus and bifidus.

PrimeLife, Revel forge partnership

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Founded nearly 10 years ago, Revel Fitness specializes in group exercise classes, such as Zumba and Turbo FITNESS Kick Live. On Aug. 15, the classes officially became a PrimeLife Enrichment fitness program.

PrimeLife Enrichment is a fitness center at 1078 3rd Avenue SW in Carmel. It is primarily for Hamilton County residents 50 and older, but according to PLE Executive Director Linda Handy, the new Revel classes will help draw a wider age range to PLE during under-utilized hours.

“Revel’s evening classes, for example, they do LaBlast, Zumba and just more fastpaced and aerobic classes,” Handy said.

“Here at PrimeLife, we transition. So, during the day, it’s definitely a senior center focused on helping people stay in their homes and building activity. But in the evenings, we transition into being more of a facility for everyone.”

Handy said that PLE’s partnership with Revel Fitness, while not legally a merger, is a win-win for both business. According to Handy, Revel’s founder, Cindy Schembre, is

being retained as the lead staff person for the Revel program at PLE. “We did not purchase Revel’s entity. We just did an exchange where we turned what she offers into our program,” Handy said.

“It allows her to keep this company going, the company she worked nine years on building. But it brings her members into our members, and it helps us financially and it helps her financially, so it really was a win-win situation. It also gives those who are under 50 an opportunity to support us without it affecting our (nonprofit) status, because we are set up as a senior community center.”

CEO offers brand advice

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tiffany Sauder definitely saw the value in making her debut as a OneZone speaker.

Although the Element BRANDING Three CEO and president offered advice, she knows it was good exposure as well.

“It’s a great opportunity to converse with 300 different business people in the area,” she said.

Sauder, whose full-service marketing agency is based in Indianapolis, addressed “The Secret to Crushing Your Employee Brand” at the OneZone luncheon Aug. 14 at the Forum Conference Center in Fishers.

Instead of simply emphasizing stock options, health benefits, the Zionsville resident said companies should emphasize their vision.

“Be honest with yourself about who you are and who you aren’t,” Sauder said.

“When we get a call, it’s usually something like this, ‘I was at a trade show and saw this, my competitor did this thing and I really liked it and would like you to do that for me, too.’ That is like wearing someone else’s clothes to prom. Why don’t you come up with your own idea? What is it about me that people like? It cannot be exactly what your competitor is doing.”

Element Three CEO/President Tiffany Sauder gives a presentation at a OneZone luncheon.

Sauder said the company has to be honest with itself about its problems as well.

She said she had to learn that when starting Element Three at age 25 in 2005.

Sauder said another guideline is the brand cannot surpass the vision of its leader.

Sauder said turnover can be frequent when employees don’t have a career understanding.

“Customers will never love a company unless their employees love it first,” Sauder said.

Element Three made Inc. magazine’s list of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies for the sixth consecutive year in 2019.

Spenga coming to Clay Terrace

By Riya Chinni news@currentincarmel.com A Spenga fitness center has announced plans to open in Clay Terrace this fall.

The company derives its FITNESS names from three core focus areas. “(There are) three disciplines: spin, strength and yoga, so it has the three most important aspects of physical activity, which is heart rate-racing cardio, a strength portion with a workout, followed by poses in yoga and gaining some flexibility with yoga as well. It’s one of a kind,” franchise owner Ryan Hendrickson said.

Hendrickson and his wife, Staci, along with business partners Cherie and Tim Palma, decided to open a Spenga franchise after finding Spenga’s philosophy and structure aligned with their ideal fitness center. It is expected to open by the end of November.

“We’ve been members of other fitness franchises that are similar, but we noticed a need for a workout that provides less pounding on the body, meaning no treadmill running or heavy jumping,” Hendrickson said. “We included what we believe is the important aspect of yoga and flexibility in

I’m often asked if I think doing “such-andsuch” is a good investment for a home. Well, if we’re going textbook here, yes, there are some things that traditionally are good for resale: Updated kitchen and baths, flooring that’s on trend and in good condition, good windows and roof, etc. Yawn.

And there are some obvious things that aren’t good for resale: A home that has not been maintained, a home that is totally outdated, a home that smells or is haunted (wink, wink).

Most home improvements benefit your lifestyle, not your investment portfolio. There are some things you can do that will recoup a nice percentage of your money and others you do purely because you want it or like it.

Spenga strives to create an aesthetically pleasing workout environment, Hendrickson said.

“When you walk into Spenga, you’re going to notice a difference from all the other gyms you walk into,” he said. “We spent a tremendous amount of time and money planning and designing the studio. When you walk in, it’s a very high-end, almost spa-like feel.”

He also said Spenga plans to fundraise for local charities and find ways to give back to the community.

Brown, Opera in the Park return to Garfield Park

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Opera in the Park is back and so is Angela Brown.

Brown appeared at the CONCERT last Opera in the Park concert in 1997.

The Indianapolis Opera will present the revised Opera in the Park performance at 6 p.m. Sept. 8 at Garfield Park’s MacAllister Amphitheater in Indianapolis. Brown and Daniel Narducci are guest soloists and it will be conducted by the Opera’s new artistic advisor, Alfred Savia. It will be presented in concert format with full orchestra and lively narration.

Opera in the Park is an official production of the nonprofit Friends of Garfield Park in partnership with the Indianapolis Parks Dept. Admission is free.

“This is going to be a relaxed setting where the kids can come,” Brown said.

“You can bring food and your family. You can have a light, enjoyable evening with opera. It’s not such a stuffy experience but one that everyone can enjoy and feel like they can be part of.”

Brown, a soprano from Indianapolis, will perform three numbers, “Vissi d’arte” from “Tosca” by Giacomo Puccini with Narducci, “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin and “Brindisi” (“Libiamo, ne’ liter calici”) from “La Traviata” by Giuseppe Verdi.

Brown primarily performs across the U.S. and Europe.

“Lately, I’ve done more solo work with symphony orchestras and my show ‘Opera … From a Sistah’s Point of View,’” Brown said. “That’s my show I take around to schools and performing arts organizations. It demystifies opera. I do that through my foundation, Morning Brown.”

Singing came naturally to Brown.

“I always say opera chose me, I didn’t choose it,” she said. “Once I went to school and learned to sing opera, I took to the technique like a duck to water. It was something that did fit my vocal ability. I had done a lot of musical theater in Indianapolis, mostly with the Civic Theatre.

(Opera) encompasses everything I do from the acting, the singing, the movement.

Boz Scaggs to perform Nov. 23 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs and his “Out of the Blues Tour” will make a Nov. 23 stop at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Long considered one of the great “blueeyed soul” vocalists, Scaggs was an early member of the Steve Miller Band before launching a solo career and making his commercial breakthrough with the 1976 album “Silk Degrees.” The multi-platinum release rode the charts for 115 weeks and spawned three Top 40 singles: “It’s Over,” “Lido Shuffle” and the Grammy-winning “Lowdown.”

Scaggs’ performance is set for 8 p.m.

Nov. 23 at the Palladium, 1 Center Green, Carmel. Tickets starting at $40 are on sale at TheCenterPresents.org and through the Box Office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877909-ARTS (2787).

The Katz, Sapper & Miller Pop/Rock Series is part of the 2019-20 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.

Angela Brown will appear in Opera in the Park Sept. 8 at Garfield Park’s McAllister Amphitheater.

“I consider myself pretty funny sometimes, and then the drama of it all. Opera fits all those.”

Brown graduated from Crispus Attucks High School, which was then a medical magnet school “I thought I wanted to go into the medical field, but I ended up going toward the arts,” she said.

Brown attended Oakwood University in Huntsville, Ala., and then studied at Indiana University Brown teaches master classes and owns a private voice studio at the Basile Opera Center, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis.

“I’m going to be making my debut with Seattle Opera and New Orleans Opera doing “Charlie Parker’s Yardbird,” and the role I play is the mother, so I’m excited about that,” she said.

The program will include excerpts from

the Indianapolis Opera’s 2019-20 productions of “Elixir of Love” and “Don Giovanni,” as well as other familiar chorus tunes and solos.

“Elixir of Love” will be presented Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” is set for March 20 to 22, 2020 at The Toby Theater at Newfields in Indianapolis. The third performance will be “Brundibar” and “Vedem” at The Toby April 24 to 26, 2020.

The park concert will conclude with a champagne toast (sparkling cider) celebrating the opening of the 45th anniversary season.

Beginning at 5 p.m., food from Prime 47 Indy’s Steakhouse will be available for purchase, or patrons can bring a picnic dinner.

Concerts move to Lions Park

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Lincoln Park gazebo is more suited for smaller groups. (Submitted photo)

Lions Park has more restrooms and a playground.

“We have a lot of space for the crowd like Conner Prairie,” Howie said.

The Zionsville Cultural District decided to produce a 266-square-foot mural of Abraham Lincoln on a building near Lincoln Park.

“We thought, what a wonderful way to honor Lincoln Park by a mural of Abraham Lincoln,” Howie said. “What we’re hoping to do is program expansion and do a smaller concert, maybe not every week but several times during the summer.”

Howie said that would be in addition to the concert series at Lions Park.

and

8/9/19 9:46 AM

For 28 years, Zionsville has presented a weekly summer concert series at Lincoln Park.

MUSIC That reign has ended as the Zionsville Cultural District recently announced the series will move to Lions Park in the summer of 2020. However, the ZCD plans to present periodic concerts at Lincoln Park.

ZCD assumed operation of the Lincoln Park Concert Series six years ago from the Chamber of Commerce.

“We found the acoustics were not that good and the gazebo was too small,” Zionsville Cultural District President Carla Howie said.

Howie said the ZCD also wanted more space for its sponsors and was concerned about lack of restroom facilities.

“If we wanted to do something larger, Lincoln Park wasn’t able to accommodate that,” Howie said. “Lions Park seemed welcoming. They have a bigger gazebo and a concession stand they would offer during the season. We’re looking to make the series more robust.”

Blueprint for Improvement: A masterful bathroom remodel in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: This home was built in 1999 in the Fishers’ Sandstone Lakes neighborhood.

The master bathroom included original finishes, plus a freestanding shower and standalone tub.

THE CHALLENGE This bathroom is connected via an open doorway to the master bedroom. The homeowners wanted to create a sophisticated, spa-like retreat that would blend seamlessly into their master suite.

THE SOLUTION 1. The floorplan was redesigned to connect the bathtub and shower into a single “wet room,” which maximizes available space and gives a true spa-like experience.

2. The double window over the tub was replaced with a sleek, single window that allows for privacy without the need for window coverings.

3. The tile floor features a glazed porcelain finish with the illusion of textured fabric.

4. The homeowners wanted a lot of drawer space, so the cabinets under the sinks were designed with drawers at the bottom to avoid interference with the plumbing.

For the vanity, the countertop was lowered to make way for four small cosmetics drawers.

Off to a good start Commentary by Lorene Burkart Start where you are. This advice was recently provided by my pastor to our congregation. He explained PLAIN TALK that we put a high value on finishing but we forget that there is as much value in starting.

This connection was especially poignant because I had attended an event for Ivy Tech Community College professors to recognize their excellence in instruction. In the videos that accompanied each recognition presentation, former students told about their experiences with that professor. The students ranged from young adults, who needed encouragement to start college, to men and women past retirement age who were there to learn new skills. Most of the accolades were about the experience of starting and how much that professor’s support had meant to them.

Another recent event reminded me of the courage often required to get started. We celebrated one of the Stratford employees for becoming a U.S. citizen along with his wife and daughter. They emigrated from Syria 11 years ago without speaking English, learned the language, got jobs and then the

wife started classes at Ivy Tech, has graduated and is now in a middle-management position. He also has started classes at Ivy Tech and is pursuing a degree while working two jobs. We rejoiced with them after their naturalization ceremony for starting their lives over and for finishing goals along the way. From start to finish, they are an inspiration. And their story is far from over.

It reminds all of us that we should probably give ourselves more credit for the courage it takes to start — a diet, a new job, a new living situation — whatever is important to us. Continuing the effort may be challenging, but we sure feel good when we have reached the finish line. If you have ever participated in a marathon, you know the thrill of crossing the finish, but give yourself a pat on the back for starting.

I guess it boils down to making sure, when you start, that the effort is worthy enough to deserve your resources and that the goal, when achieved, is worth recognizing.

Adverbs: Why I apply sunscreen always, early and often Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Did you know that redheaded people only make up 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population? There’s a reason we are so scarce: the sun. This is why I alGRAMMAR GUY ways apply sunscreen. I apply it early and often.

If you noticed, I used a few adverbs just now (always, early, often). Not only did I employ a handful of adverbs, but I used a handful of adverbs of frequency. Adverbs of frequency describe how often something happens. They

include always, usually, sometimes, never, frequently, often, then and weekly. And, I have more good news for you: Adverbs of frequency come with their own set of rules.

When your sentence has more than one verb, use your adverb of frequency before the primary verb. Here’s an example: I have often received a sunburn during the month of November. Here, we sandwiched our adverb of frequency (often) between the bread slices of our sentence’s two verbs (have and received).

If your sentence contains only one verb, place your adverb of frequency after your subject and before your verb.

Curtis never tans. He always wears a swim shirt to the pool.

We use adverbs of frequency to signify things that happen on a routine basis. Because of this, we usually employ these adverbs with the present simple tense.

Orange oil for mood — Need a mood or energy boost?

Sniff an orange. Studies have shown that orange essential oil helps boost mood and alertness and can reduce anxiety. If you don’t keep the fresh fruit on hand, buy some bottled oil and dab a drop on each wrist or massage into your temples for the same effect.

Trimming tall grasses — Large ornamental grasses can be daunting to trim back each fall. Make the job smoother by wrapping a bungee cord around each clump of grass before pruning. The cord will neatly collect the clippings, making them easier to move away from the area when you’re done.

Front of Amsterdam Central Station. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of Amsterdam Central Station Commentary by Don Knebel Amsterdam Central Station has become a symbol of the city, attracting more visitors than any other of the Netherland’s more than 60,000 national heritage TRAVEL sites. Like many other now iconic structures, critics originally panned its location and its design.

Amsterdam developed along the south shore of a bay now known as IJ Lake. By the 17th century, the bay was among the busiest ports in the world. By the 1870s, trains had become as important as ships in bringing people to Amsterdam from throughout Europe. As a result, city planners identified potential sites for a major railroad terminal about a mile-and-a-half inland from the port. Railroad engineers had a different idea. They wanted to build the station on three interconnected artificial islands spanning the south end of IJ Lake. The Dutch government accepted that plan despite strenuous local objections. Because the terminal’s location effectively separated Amsterdam from its port, many at the time called the location a catastrophe.

The station’s ornate brick exterior, featuring turrets and intricate details, was designed by Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam’s famous state museum. Protestant critics lambasted its resemblance to medieval cathedrals. The station opened in 1889, after a number of delays caused by the instability of the marshy soil. It rests on more than 8,000 wooden piles and includes a platform more than nearly a half-mile long. The cast iron roof, supported on 50 curved trusses, was imported from England.

Today, Amsterdam Central Station serves more than 160,000 passengers a day, many arriving and departing on one of 50 international trains. The only passengers now coming to Amsterdam’s port arrive on cruise ships, which dock near the backside of the station. When the queen travels by train, she has access to an ornately decorated waiting room built exclusively for her.
