Carmel will add two seats to its city council as a result of becoming a second-class city last year. To make it happen, counCITY NEWS cilors are working to create a new district and shift others to equalize populations.

The council is currently comprised of seven members, with two elected at-large and five elected to represent districts of the city. Carmel will add one at-large councilor and one from a district as a result of the 2019 elections.

The city council approved a resolution outlining guidelines for city council redistricting at its Aug. 20 meeting.

City Councilor Sue Finkam is serving as the city’s redistricting coordinator. She is tasked with working with the legal team to develop a redistricting plan and keep the rest of the council and the public up to date on the process.

“I wanted to do it,” she said of the role. “It’s a fun project you don’t get to do very often. Working with the community to do that will be kind of fun.”

The city is working with the Indianapolisbased law firm Kroger, Gardis & Regas to develop a redistricting plan at a cost of $6,543.50 so far.

The city’s transition to second-class status necessitated the need for redistricting, but Finkam said it also will benefit the community in other ways.

“If you look at the amount of people in each one of our districts right now, it’s pushing 20,000 or more. This will be able to provide more personalized attention if we can get those numbers down to 14,000 or 15,000,” Finkam said. “On big projects that are important to the community, where we get lots of emails and lots of calls, it’s going to be helpful to be more responsive.”

The guidelines state that the six districts should be comprised of contiguous territory, be reasonably compact, aim to not cross precinct boundary lines and contain equal population.

The city will use information from the 2010 census – which the guidelines state is “now dated” – and 2016 special census to create districts with equal population. Any district proposed to deviate from the ideal district population by more than 5 percent will be justified in writing.

Carmel is divided into five city council districts, but a plan to add a sixth must be adopted by early November. (Submitted photo)

The guidelines also state districts shall not dilute “the voting strength of any language or racial minority group” or discriminate against an “identifiable political group.”

Members of the public are welcome to submit their own redistricting plans – that must follow the guidelines – by noon Oct. 5 to the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office. Public plan submission kits, which will include maps and tables showing precinct boundaries, population statistics and other key information, will soon be available for pickup at the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office.

Finkam said very few plans have been submitted by the public in previous years.

According to the guidelines, the city must release a draft plan no later than noon Oct. 5. The council expects to hold a public hearing on the draft at its Oct. 15 meeting, with a second meeting on the issue tentatively planned for Nov. 5.

Final adoption must occur by Nov. 8.

The city last redistricted in 2012 and will do so again in 2022, because law requires that it take place two years after the U.S. Census.

TIMELINE • Sept. 17 – Last day for members of the public to submit objections regarding redistricting guidelines • Oct. 5 – Deadline for plans submitted by the public; release of city redistricting plan draft • Oct. 15 – Public hearing to review redistricting plan • Nov. 5 – Tentative date for public meeting to make revisions to plan • Dec. 5 – Filing of certified copy of ordinance establishing districts with the clerk of the Hamilton County Circuit Court

According to a published report, the city of Carmel has filed a lawsuit to take control GOVERNMENT of the PNC Bank property located at Main Street and Range Line Road.

After negotiations with the building’s owner stalled, the city filed a complaint for condemnation against PNC Bank National Association in the Hamilton Circuit Court. PNC is headquartered in Pittsburgh so the case became federal and was moved to the Indiana Southern District Court.

A condemnation suit is a legal process that allows a government to exercise its rights of eminent domain, in order to acquire private property if a negotiated sale is unable to be agreed upon.

“Discussions are ongoing with PNC and I am optimistic we will reach an agreement,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

When asked to elaborate on details of the lawsuit, Brainard declined to comment on the ongoing litigation. PNC Bank officials had not responded to inquiry as of press time.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com For Maria Murphy, the Christmas season never ends.

As the market master for Carmel’s Christkindlmarkt, she CHRISTKINDLMARKT spends most of the year planning for the five-week German-inspired holiday market, and she said many changes are in store for the second annual event set for Nov. 17 to Dec. 23 in the Center Green.

Last year, with only months to prepare, organizers were overwhelmed by crowds three to four times larger than projected.

This year, they’re ready.

“The speed of service and ability of the equipment that’s coming this year will allow for a lot more people to get through, where I think a lot of people walked away last year,” Murphy said.

Changes include a new layout, with the market stretching nearly all the way to the Monon Trail on its east side. The number of huts is only growing from the 40 offered last year to 47, and they will be spaced further apart to minimize congestion.

New huts will include an activity and program area, Mr. Muffin’s train display and a specialized grill for cooking meats. Several warming stations also will be added.

Organizers have ordered additional products to prepare for large crowds. Last year, the market ran out of its 10,000 boot-shaped commemorative mugs in nine days, but this year they’ve ordered 30,000 of them and 30,000 train-shaped mugs. They’ll also be offering an Indiana-themed beer stein in addition to a Carmel-themed one.

In its inaugural year, Murphy purchased products – mostly from Germany – to be sold in 19 booths that were staffed by seasonal workers hired by the Christkindlmarkt. This year, the nonprofit will only be responsible for seven of the huts, Murphy said.

“A lot of those (huts) are things that we want to be doing long term, such as the custom beer (stein) featuring Carmel and Indiana, the Glühwein mugs and guest services,” she said. “We will need to only staff for those things, which is more appropriate.”

The City of Carmel gave approximately $400,000 to the Christkindlmarkt in its first year and dropped that amount to $125,000 for 2018. Murphy said the market could possibly be self-sufficient in 2019 and operate without a grant.

“The city may want to add 20 more structures or see the benefit in providing

the grant for a specific installation or something like that, but as far as the market itself needing it, that’s what we want to get away from so that we’re not a drain,” she said.

Having a full year to plan this year’s market has made a world of difference, said Murphy, who is relishing her role.

“Christmas and Germany are a part of my daily life,” she said. “It’s been really, really fun to tap back into that love for the German culture and my first experiences with German Christmas and the beauty that it

A 44-home neighborhood is proposed south of University High School, which has created a master plan to fill out its west Carmel campus. (Submitted photo)

Reaction mixed to The Parks

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Developer Steve Pittman outlined plans for a 44-home neighborhood planned on 36 acres just south of DEVELOPMENT University High School at the Aug. 21 Carmel Plan Commission meeting.

Several people who live near the proposed The Parks at Towne Meadow expressed concerns while others gave their support for the project before commissioners voted to send the matter to the Sept. 4 CPC residential committee meeting. The full plan commission will have the final vote.

Lot sizes are anticipated to range from 14,000 to 15,000 square feet with homes expected to cost between $700,000 and $1 million. A builder has not been selected.

Pittman purchased the land from UHS earlier this year after school leaders completed a master plan and realized they had an excess of 36 acres. He said he is working with the school to come up with a drainage plan, a trail system to connect the neighborhood to West Park through the UHS campus and an educational easement that will allow students to do water-quality testing or other classwork on a portion of the property.

“It really is going to be a nice partnership

between our two entities,” Pittman said.

Most of the residents who spoke at the meeting were from the neighboring Kings Mill and Huntington Chase neighborhoods, and many praised Pittman for meeting with them and addressing concerns. Among those concerns are maintaining trees to provide a buffer and the density of lots, specifically in the panhandle on the east side of the site, bordering multi-acre estate lots. Many remonstrators said they were against building a road to connect to UHS property.

“I still think it’s a little presumptuous (Pittman) bought the property without having this approved,” said Brad Donaldson, who lives near the site in a home built in the 1800s. “I know he’s going to do something with it, and I assume it’s going to be very nice. It just affects us so directly, and we want to stay in our farmhouse.”

Commissioners asked Pittman to specify several items before the committee meeting, such as where a trail might tie into a future UHS trail system.

Commissioner Joshua Kirsh asked Pittman to consider changing the development’s name.

“I think it’s confusing to call it The Park, but my vote is not dependent on it,” he said. “You just might want to reconsider the name as it relates to West Park and its location.”

DISPATCHES Monon Center closures – The Monon Community Center will have some partial facility closures for maintenance. The gym and fitness studios will be closed from Aug. 27-31.

Fitness classes will be relocated to the East Building.

Theta Omicron garage sale – Theta Omicron will hold a garage sale from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept 7-8 at 11125 Moss Dr., Carmel. The sale will include furniture, antiques, toys,

jewelry, dishes, plants, holiday items and more.

Tin dollhouse exhibit – The Museum of Miniature Houses currently has on display an exhibit of pressed steel, or tin, dollhouses.

These were popular in the 1950’s. Included in the exhibit is a dollhouse from 1962 that has its own fallout shelter. The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 9.

14-year-old becomes Eagle Scout

O P E N I N G E A R LY 2 019

Carmel’s Ben Jennings recently celebrated his 14th birthday by earning Eagle Scout status, making him ACHIEVEMENT one of the youngest in the state to achieve Boy Scouts’ top honor.

The national average age for attaining Eagle Scout status is 17. What started as a way to engage with the community when Jennings and his family were new to Carmel became a passion and a path to self-discovery.

Becoming an Eagle is no easy accomplishment. According to Scouting Magazine, as of 2015 only 2.01 percent of Scouts have earned the honor since its inception in 1912.

To gain Eagle status, Scouts are required to have at least 21 merit badges in subjects ranging from science to sports to business.

Jennings, of Troop 112, has nearly 40.

Scouts seeking Eagle designation are tasked with identifying, planning, fundraising for and executing a service project. Jennings built a feral cat enclosure for a vaccination clinic. An animal lover, he wanted to make sure the cats had a comfortable place

to recover after surgery before returning to the wild or entering a Barn Cat Program for adoption.

Jennings has always wanted a cat, but he and other family members are allergic.

Initially, the complexity of becoming an Eagle Scout intimidated Jennings. But as the process unfolded, he was able to identify his weaknesses and change his approach.

“Finding myself in the journey was probably my favorite part,” Jennings said.

App helps CFD safely navigate

By Vicky Nasteva news@currentincarmel.com A team of graduate students at IUPUI is developing a navigation app to help firefighters get to and DEVELOPMENT from emergencies more safely, and the Carmel Fire Dept. was one of the first to get a sneak peek at the new technology.

The app, called Fire Ray, projects a map display with real-time navigation information, such as construction detours, directly onto the windshield of fire engines.

The app was developed by IUPUI Information Science Group HCI (Human Computer Interaction) for a national technology competition hosted by California company WayRay. They were named one of five winning teams. Recently, the team visited the Carmel Fire Dept. to look at the navigation technology already in use and talked with firefighters about their needs.

“This technology would actually show a lot of traffic flow and patterns, which would be very helpful to us,” CFD spokesman Tim Griffin said. “If two trucks were heading to the same intersection, which happens constantly, this would put it on there and showcase red or green for go or wait. For us, the most dangerous things firefighters do is drive to and from scenes. Anything that can help with that has the potential to save our lives.”

Carmel resident Lou Lenzi, a professor of

practice in the IUPUI School of Informatics and Computing and advisor of the IUPUI student team, said the app’s design is meant to improve upon existing navigation technology.

“What the students wanted was, rather than firefighters having to take their eyes off the road, why not aggregate that information and project it right onto the windshield? We all share the road, so it’s about the safety of the entire community,” Lenzi said.

Although the Fire Ray app is not yet available, WayRay will fly the IUPUI team to California this fall so that it can begin work on a prototype.

Summer Games a hit

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In Dr. Arun Jain’s view, the Hindu Temple of Central Indiana’s inaugural Summer Games was a tremenHINDU TEMPLE dous success.

“We initially wanted 16 teams for the men’s volleyball tournament, and within five days we were full,” said Jain, a Carmel resident who serves on the temple’s board of trustees.

Jain said 10 other teams wanted to sign up but the tournament was full.

Six women’s teams played a throwball tournament, a popular game in India where participants catch and throw the ball over a net, a little lower than a volleyball net, rather than hit it. Jain said there were approximately 200 participants and another 300 spectators Aug. 18-19 at the Indianapolis temple, 3350 N. German Church Rd. Jain said the Summer Games allowed the temple to connect with members at a different level.

Jain, who estimated more than 25 percent of the temple members are from Carmel, said the temple is considering building permanent courts for volleyball and throwball.

Carmel Resident Bala Krishnamurthy serves the ball during the Summer Games. (Submitted photo)

Participants were ages 13 and older.

Carmel High School sophomore Rishma Chauhan played on a throwball team and helped coordinate the event.

“The other youth volunteers were very helpful, so it made it easy for me,” she said. “I had never played throwball before the tournament. Many players on the team I was on were champions on their high school teams (in India as youth), so I got good coaching and picked up the game quickly.”

“Many kids under 13 came to practices and cheered teams on, like my sister,” Chauhan said. “The best part of the tournament was the finals and semifinals. All the teams were really good and the games were really intense. Also, the food was amazing.”

As Gleaning Garden grows, so does its ability to reduce food insecurity

By Riya Chinni • news@currentincarmel.com Travel along the Monon Trail in Carmel, and it’s easy to see that the city is booming.

But nestled between the luxurious COVER STORY Carmel City Center and ever-expanding Midtown area is a small community garden that got its start as a way to help neighbors in need.

The Gleaning Garden grows just south of Union Brewing Company on a small plot of land along the Monon Trail that’s easy to miss. It’s here that six years ago Carmel’s Andrew Fritz, 36, began growing fresh Fritz food after a doctor asked about his diet following a serious bicycle accident.

“I felt really ashamed because my diet was terrible, which involved no vegetables or fruits. I didn’t really eat an actual banana until I was probably 30 years old,” Fritz said.

So, Fritz set a goal to eat a different fruit or vegetable each week from A through Z, and he began making smoothies and preparing produce in ways he found palatable. His diet and health began to change, but it wasn’t always easy.

“I took a pay cut and I wasn’t making as much money,” he said. “The thought came to mind, ‘If I can’t eat good, healthy produce, then surely other people are having the same issue,’ and everything kind of converged into starting a community garden,” he said.

Thus, the Gleaning Garden was born.

Cultivating community

Carmel’s Leum family are no strangers to the Gleaning Garden, stumbling upon it during a trip from the Carmel Farmers Market a few months ago. They have been involved ever since.

Sheri Leum and her husband, Brandon, had cooked with fresh produce while their kids were growing up and were delighted to find the Gleaning Garden.

“We just moved to Carmel a year ago, and we never thought we’d ever have the opportunity to have a garden in Carmel,” Brandon Leum said.

For Fritz, who wanted a place to integrate himself into the Carmel community, the garden quickly became a place to meet and connect with people.

The Leums said the community aspect of the garden is their favorite thing about it because they have met many people from Carmel and learned a lot from the exposure to diversity. “(The garden) is a learning tool for a lot of people who walk through, for the community,” Sheri Leum said. “We’ve been connected with people who are from India, and we’ve learned from them. We’re coming together as a community and learning.”

Food Insecurity in Hamilton County •

•

Simply helping

The Gleaning Garden’s produce is available to all, and whatever isn’t taken is delivered to Carmel United Methodist Church’s food pantry.

That was one of the reasons Austin Leum decided to get involved.

“Amila, my girlfriend and I, had never done any kind of gardening in (our lives). When the opportunity entered when my parents got there to have a little plot to ourselves, we wanted to try to do something new,” Austin Leum said. “We found out that the excess vegetables go to food pantries.

We’re helping others and helping ourselves.”

Volunteers from all around Carmel nurture and tend to the Gleaning Garden, keeping it beautiful for all residents to enjoy. A picnic table rests in the center of the garden, and there are chairs in the wooded area behind it.

“This is a spot where people can come and sit without having to pay for anything,” Fritz said. “They can simply sit and receive.”

Fritz encourages residents to visit the garden if they need a quiet place or simply want to be closer to nature.

•

•

Food Insecurity is the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.

Hamilton County has the lowest food insecurity rate in the state at 8.8 percent (according to the latest 2016 findings). However, due to the population of Hamilton County, that still means more than 26,000 people in the county are food insecure.

To meet the needs of those who are food insecure in Hamilton County, we still need over $15 million a year.

Fifty-nine percent of food insecure people in Hamilton County do not qualify for any food assistance program; whether that is subsidies from federal programs or otherwise. That is the highest in the state.

Source: Feedingamerica.org

“Gardens are truly invigorating and inspiring, yet I can’t get away from this idea that gardens are also meant to humble us,” Fritz said.

HOW IT WORKS

The Gleaning Garden is open to all, but a few guidelines are in place to help it meet its purpose: • Gardeners may select a spot to tend, but anyone is free to take produce from anywhere in the garden • Those who take produce are asked to only take as much they need for one day • Anyone may take produce from the garden, but its main goal is to provide healthy food for people who are food insecure.

O B S E R V AT I O N Guiding lights

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For centuries, sailors have trusted the stars to guide. Alas, the Polaris is often obscured by weather. Then these dutiful mariners count on experience and faith to help them stay the course. As overcast days persist, the risk of drifting off course increases — along with growing anxiety in the ranks.

Teams form and follow direct interface.

Now, with the advent of new technologies, we have become increasingly dependent on the independence provided by them. As seamen rely upon satellites, nearly all of us find modern communication devices imperative. Calls, emails, texts and other services for instant communiqué leave us with both significant freedom and, ironically, its corresponding reduction.

How do we balance the human need for collaboration with our need for autonomy?

Can we spend the bulk of our time away from the office while still mentoring and supporting those we work with daily?

Perhaps the same is true with our relationships, families and communities. Are there times when it is wrong to just phone it in?

Or, do we simply need to find new ways to accommodate for expanding technologies to substitute for face time?

Recently, a community leader shared his frustration that during his extensive travel to build his organization, productivity among his team diminished. One wonders if the young and inexperienced managers might simply be seeking a sighting. Is it possible that a directive by email lacks a required nuance to inspire? Would seeing the boss, even virtually, be enough encouragement? Like sailors waiting for a break in the clouds to show the path, could they be somewhat adrift looking for the sky? We don’t require much but do require some.

Friends, the unthinkable has happened. I am (gulp) no longer (long, dramatic pause) a dance mom (cue tears).

Our daughter informed us HUMOR last week that she wanted to quit competitive dancing.

After five years of sequined booty shorts, Kardashian faux lashes and jazz hands out the wazoo, she is hanging up her tap shoes.

Now a freshman in high school, she wants more time for studying, socializing and work.

I mean, I get it. Dance takes enormous commitment and sacrifice, both from the dancer and the parent. I’ve lost track of how many days I’ve spent at various performing arts centers watching hundreds of routines to see my baby on stage for literally three minutes. And don’t get me started on the cost! Seriously, don’t, because I think I still owe from last year. Heck, on some level, I even believe this was the right call.

But when she read the text to her coaches explaining her decision, I cried. Partly from pride – the writer in me couldn’t help but notice her elegant and mature use of language – but mostly because I realized that her quitting meant that so was I. No more hanging with fellow dance moms at conventions; no more secretly judging reprehensible costume choices; no more complaining about the weekend-long competitions, even though I actually looked forward to the multiple Steak ‘n Shake runs and book-reading opportunities. The truth is that I loved being a dance mom and wasn’t prepared for that part of my life to end.

Perhaps more importantly, what nonsense am I supposed to write about now?

READERS’ VIEWS Running for office to stop ‘train wreck’

Family owned for over 30 years

Editor, The recently removed girls basketball coach at Carmel High School called the process “a train wreck.” That accurately describes multiple recent actions of the school board and senior administration.

Three of the five positions are up for election in November in non-partisan races.

These are currently represented by board President Layla Spanenberg, Vice President Pamela Knowles and Secretary Michael Kerschner.

The three other major train wrecks, or circuses if you prefer, would be the firing of Supt. Nicholas Wahl, potentially altering classes for high-ability students and the closing or renovation of elementary schools.

At this point, because of the failures of the board in these four recent cases, candidates are being sought to run against them.

Restrictions may apply. Expires 8/31/18.

I have just filed to run in District 3 against Mr. Kerschner.

At least Pam Knowles, in District 2, voted against the school closing and renovation proposal, seeking a delay until a new demographic study -- scheduled for the fall -- is completed. All candidates, and this is part of my platform, should follow this call for that prudent course of action.

Also, candidates should call on the board to fire its current lawyer, David Day. He negotiated the original contract with Dr. Wahl, conducted the long review, negotiated the expensive separation and recommended stonewalling against providing additional Stay Home. Be Moved. information.

In addition, I have been asking the school system since Dec. 17, 2017 for the amount billed by David Day to the taxpayers to fire Dr. Wahl. If a school system that still doesn’t know how much a review of its superintendent last fall cost, how can we trust them with much more expensive future decisions, such as building or closing school buildings? I finally received the invoices July 19. The school system paid Mr. Day’s law firm more than $41,000 to conduct this secretive review.

The central office operated effectively (meaning the children were still taught by the excellent teachers) with Dr. Wahl’s and Ms. (Corrine) Middleton’s positions open.

That indicates a reduction in central office headcount is warranted by that unplanned demonstration.

Finally, I saw that my opponent was interviewed by the high school paper after winning in 2014. He had no plans at that time. I think we have seen the unfortunate results of that. I have some modest plans, as seen above, and most importantly the plan is to keep the focus on teacher-student interaction and not cause any planned, or unplanned, train wrecks that would jeopardize that. For instance, if parents/teachers/ students thought the elementary academically gifted program was not working effectively, then it should have been studied.

That wasn’t the case.

In his April 15, 1995 “Contract With Carmel,” candidate James Brainard vowed to “Cut Out Waste,” and swore: “You pay for a car for the Mayor. You pay for the Mayor’s Press Secretary. You pay for a Deputy Mayor/Administrative Assistant.

Keeping my chins up

Buying Selling Buying Or Or Selling A A Home?

Home?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Surveys show that most people hate at least one part of their body. I’m not happy with my ears, for example. I HUMOR think they stick out more than they should. My wife says I’m crazy, and to be that obsessed with my own looks makes me appear elfish. I’m hoping she meant selfish.

While looking in the mirror over the weekend, I saw a chin I had not noticed before.

I was happy with the two I already had.

Fortunately, that morning I saw something advertised on TV that gave me hope. Called The Miracle Neck Slimmer, it’s a device they claim was created by a world-renowned physiotherapist. I was all ears.

The manufacturer guarantees a 68 percent reduction in neck wrinkles. I have achieved similar results by slinging my head back and always looking straight up at the ceiling. The results are temporary, of course, and I have slammed into several doors, but it does work. Well, I think it works. It’s hard to look in the mirror in that position.

The Miracle Neck Slimmer looks like one of those slap-and-chop thingies you pound with the palm of your hand to pulverize a Vidalia onion. You place the apparatus under your chin, then bob your head up and down like common poultry. Springs in the device create tension. It’s like your neck and chin are getting a good workout on a tiny StairMaster. You can see why I was hooked.

A DVD gives you directions on how to properly jog your skull to-and-fro, like you were auditioning to be a bobblehead. They also throw in an accelerator cream. It’s an anti-aging concoction, but it could be a stimulant to make your head go faster.

They offer you a free second Miracle Neck Slimmer, saying it would be an excellent gift to give your spouse. Gee, what could go wrong there? “Mary Ellen, you know those luscious little neck wrinkles you have? Well, for just $19.95 plus shipping and handling…”

That would make it easier for me to see my extra chins because I’d have my head handed to me.

LICENSED BONDED INSURED

THE 23RD ANNUAL MARINE CORPS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION INDIANA GOLF TOURNAMENT

Meghan Mahoney didn’t know anyone on her team when she started her charity bicycle ride.

FUNDRAISER “I went into it with no friends and came out with a family,” Mahoney said. “You spend every minute of every day with 22 other people. We got so close. When you do something that physically grueling, you forge a very strong bond.”

Mahoney, a 2015 Carmel High School graduate and Colorado State senior, was doing the ride to benefit Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. It was founded by Doug Ulman, who discovered he had cancer when starting his sophomore year at Brown University.

“Whenever he went to the hospital he was surrounded by either geriatric patients or very young children, and that was a huge struggle for him, especially being in college and away from his family,” Mahoney said.

“The organization was founded to spread awareness for young adults with cancer and allows them to find a community like them that are going through the same struggles.”

The funds provide resources and one-onone support.

Mahoney’s bike team traveled from Baltimore to San Francisco, crossing 10 states during the course of 70 days.

“We went to hospitals and donated chemo-care bags and just generally raised funds and awareness for the cause,” Mahoney said.

There were 23 members on her bike team, and each raised more than $4,500 before the trip.

“I raised all $5,000 by drawing people’s pets,” said Mahoney, a wildlife biology major. “It’s a hobby. I’m also the comic artist for my school paper.”

Mahoney, who had been a swimmer for

CHS, is a member of Colorado State’s triathlon club.

The cross-country trek had three running teams and three bike teams.

“In total this year, 4K for Cancer raised $900,000,” Mahoney said.

The 4K represented the approximately 4,000 miles traveled from the various crosscountry routes the teams took. Each cyclist had 10 van days where they would support teammates by getting supplies. There were rest days when they visited hospitals.

“We rode 70 to 80 miles a day, but we got up to 115 miles,” said Mahoney, adding some of her team members were novice riders. “We would stay at YMCAs, churches and schools. All of our food was donated.

We were living on the generosity of others. Through that we met a lot of amazing people, who we both shared our message with and we heard their stories.”

Wine-tasting room to open

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Indiana-grown wines will soon be coming to Main Street.

Sugar Creek Vineyard and NEW BIZ Winery, a business based out of Montgomery County, recently announced it will open a tasting room in Carmel within the next few months.

The business was founded in 2010 by retired marketing executive David Phillips and farmer and entrepreneur Zach Cain. Phillips is a Carmel resident and Cain lives in Darlington, Ind. Sugar Creek Vineyard and Winery derives its name from Sugar Creek, a tributary of the Wabash River that runs near the Cain family farm in Montgomery. Phillips, co-founder and president of Sugar Creek Vineyard and Winery, is an avid canoer. He said incorporating his love for water sports into his wines was important and that all Sugar Creek wines have names connected to waterways.

“It is this history and experience with whitewater sports that I decided to incorporate into the naming of all Sugar Creek wines and to carry this theme forward

as well as the look and feel of the tasting room,” Phillips said.

The Carmel tasting room will offer a selection of wines made from Indiana-grown grapes as well as wines featuring grapes from California, New York, Oregon and South America.

Sugar Creek Vineyard and Winery’s tasting room will be at 1111 W. Main Street. Those interested in part-time employment may submit applications through the Sugar Creek Vineyard and Winery website, sugarcreekwinery.com.

Laser Flash to move to Westfield news@currentincarmel.com

Laser Flash of Carmel will build a new facility in Westfield through EdgeRock Development, west of U.S. 31 on GROWTH Ind. 32.

The new facility will be a 50,000-square-foot entertainment center featuring Laser Flash, axe throwing, bowling, Cyber Sport, an arcade, an indoor ropes course, an outdoor miniature golf course, a restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating and more.

Laser Flash in Westfield will be the first Indiana location to offer Cyber Sport, a two-team sport combining basketball and lacrosse. It is played indoors on maneuverable Cyber Cars. Players use a one-handed scoop to move foam balls down the court.

Goals are mounted on each end of the court.

According to a press release, Laser Flash in Carmel will continue to operate at full capacity until the Laser Flash in Westfield is complete and ready for occupancy. The new center will require approximately 130 employees, who will be trained at Laser Flash in Carmel.

Laser Flash in Westfield is planned to

open late next year. When it opens, the Carmel location will close and all equipment and staff will shift to Laser Flash in Westfield.

Owner Peter Murphy said Westfield’s growth and the proximity to Grand Park is what attracted him to the area.

“One of our markets is the tourist market,” Murphy said. “Our primary market is the families that live here locally, and other markets include youth groups and businesses, and the third market would be the tourist market. This would help add to that.”

Laser Flash in Carmel opened in 2002, and Murphy said he has searched for a new home for 12 years.

“The requirements were tough to find,” he said.

Coworking space opens soon

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Office Evolution, a Colorado-based coworking space firm, will open its first Carmel location in OFFICE EVOLUTION late September.

The site will offer shared and private office space as well as conference rooms for small business owners.

Franchise owners Kristina and Brian Monson, who have lived in Carmel for 20 years, opened the space after noting the success of many of CarKristina Monson mel’s small businesses.

“For us, it started three years ago when I started taking a small business class at the Carmel library,” Kristina said. “Through that process, I just started to meet more and more small business owners. We’ve watched the downtown area be redeveloped, and as each new business came in, we decided we were going to support them. One day we were out walking on the Monon Trail and we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we could offer something to

INDYProjectCon coming to Carmel

Carmel to support the small businesses and entrepreneurs here?’”

Office Evolution’s “drop-in” office spaces allow entrepreneurs to use their office on an as-needed basis.

“The nice thing is that, if they’re just starting off, they can start as a drop-in member, and as their business grows we can grow with them and then they can go into a more permanent office space, if they choose,” Brian said.

“Our goal is very much win-win.”

Office Evolution’s conference rooms offer entrepreneurs a private, Brian Monson professional place to meet with clients and others.

“Instead of meeting at Starbucks or Panera, they can come and meet in a conference room and maybe even give the perception that they are larger than they are,” Brian said.

Carmel’s Office Evolution will have nearly 6,000 square feet with 20 private offices and three walking work stations, in addition to conference rooms and a training room.

INDYProjectCon, a tech conference focusing on the evolving role of project and product management, is coming TECH to Carmel’s 502 East Event Centre next month.

In addition to other speakers, former Indiana Fever star Tamika Catchings will give the keynote speech at the Sept. 7 event. Gerry Dick, host and creator of Inside INdiana Business television, will conclude the program. Catchings was chosen for her leadership and perseverance, while Dick was selected for his unmatched knowledge of business in Indiana, according to Mike Fisher, chief operating officer of Conference Fuel.

Conference Fuel planned the event with the Central Indiana Chapter of the Project Management Institute, which is hosting the conference.

ment, whether they realize it or not,” Fisher said The event will include information on traditional and agile product management.

Traditional projects are well-defined, while agile projects are uncertain and require quick responses to frequent change, Fisher said. As companies strive to get products on the market faster and cheaper, a global shift toward the agile strategy is under way. Within the past year, the nonprofit Product Management Institute, the world’s largest product management organization, integrated agile practices into its traditional certification curriculum.

As major tech companies headquarter in Indiana and with venture capital funding on the rise, Indiana is in the midst of a “perfect productivity storm,” Fisher said.

The workforce needs to be well trained, and INDYProjectCon is the only conference in the state that addresses both the agile and traditional approaches to the field, he said.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra post proved to be perfect fit for Davis

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alan Davis figured his Carmel Symphony Orchestra post was a good place to start as he moved from the museum MUSIC field to the orchestra world.

“I thought, ‘I’ll be here two or three years and I’ll take that leap to a larger orchestra,’” Davis said.

Although he has had those opportunities, Davis never saw a reason to leave.

“Why would I ever leave Carmel with the support I get from everybody and The Palladium?” Davis said. “The job I thought would be a temporary stepping stone turned out to be a dream job. I loved every minute of it.”

Davis, who announced his retirement earlier this year, spent 18 years as CSO’s president and chief executive officer.

Davis, 69, became executive consultant when Kimberly Dimond took over as executive director July 16. Davis, who will step down from that position Sept. 28, is proud of his long list of achievements.

“I’m proud the growth the organization has experienced over those 18 years,” Davis said. “We went from a small community orchestra playing in high schools and churches with a very small budget to the major regional orchestra we are today playing in The Palladium. The quality has grown over those 18 years. I wasn’t music director but I have a lot of pride in supporting that artistic growth of the orchestra. We’re much more visible now, I’m proud of that. We’ve expanded our educational offerings for kids and we’re going to do that again this year coming up.”

Davis said he is proud of the staff over the years, particularly Vice President and General Manager Denise Ryan.

“She’s been my right and left hand,” Davis said.

On a personal note, Davis is grateful for of all the friends he has made in the community.

“As I tell people, although I might sleep in Speedway, I really feel like I reside in Carmel,” Davis said. “I’ve made countless

friends over the years. Those are things I’ll take with me when I retire, all those friendships, the mayor, the city council, the township government, all of our donors and patrons. They’ve all become personal friends.”

Larry Lawhead, a longtime CSO board member whose term as chairman ended June 30, praised Davis for his role in CSO’s development.

“He’s a rare administrator who combined his Ph.D. musical training with administration balance,” Lawhead said.

Davis, a 1967 Speedway High School graduate, returned to Indianapolis from

Missouri in 1989, serving as a director of public programs for the Indianapolis Museum of Art. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University’s music school. He received a doctorate in musical arts from Arizona State.

“I want to travel some more,” Davis said of his future plans. “I’d love to go back to Italy. I’ve not seen Austria or parts of Germany, especially since the reunification of Germany. I’d like to do a little more traveling in Southeast Asia.”

Frequently, Davis takes his vacation to visit a close friend in Thailand.

“He gets me a condo in the building on the beach next to his place,” Davis said.

“My condo costs me about $275 for three weeks. I couldn’t stay downtown Indianapolis for a weekend for that. I love the beach. I sit on the beach and listen to audiobooks on my iPod.” Davis, who started playing the organ when he was 12, has been a church musician most of his life. For the past 27 years, he has been the minister of music and worship at Westview Christian Church in Indianapolis.

Davis said he still plans to attend as many CSO concerts as he can.

“My heart will always be with this symphony,” Davis said. “You can’t give 18 years of your life into something and just walk away and not care what happens.”

Murray’s New Worlds postponed editorial@youarecurrent.com Because of a conflict in the artists’ schedules, The Palladium performance of New Worlds: Bill Murray, Jan Vogler & Friends, which had been scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Carmel venue, has been postponed.

Tobias’ works earns museum spot

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Karen Tobias knew she was facing tough competition to earn a spot in the annual Watercolor Society of Indiana ART exhibit.

“You can submit two paintings. If you’re lucky, they will choose one. You have to have them photographed by yourself or a professional,” said Tobias, a resident of The Barrington of Carmel. “You submit it and a very astute, well-known artist not from this area but from across the country does the jurying. It must be a hard job because the pieces are all (by talented artists).”

Tobias’ painting, “Tea in the Afternoon,” was selected by the Watercolor Society of Indiana to be displayed at Indianapolis Art Museum at Newfields through Sept. 29.

Tobias has been painting for 14 years.

After retiring from teaching, she saw a children’s art piece and decided to paint something similar.

“I enjoyed it. I thought this is what I’m going to do in my retirement,” she said. “If anyone ever mentioned an art class, I always jumped on it and was happy to participate. I started out loving to paint flowers.

I’ve done animals, done my granddaughter, done horses because we had Thoroughbred

horses. I only paint two pictures a year.

Don’t ask me why.”

Tobias moved to Carmel with her husband in 1981. After being home for several years, Tobias, who previously taught in Michigan and Illinois, decided she wanted to teach again. She started out subbing, then became a teacher’s aide and then taught four years of first grade in Carmel at Woodbrook and Prairie Trace.

Tobias moved to The Barrington two years ago with her seriously ill husband, Roger Tobias, who died six weeks after they moved.

“Karen’s art is an inspiration to us all,” The Barrington Executive Director Jesse Sias stated.

Mooncake Festival grows

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Chinese Mooncake Festival co-chair Peter Kirkwood is convinced the Carmel event’s popularity is growing.

EVENT He gauges it by the number of free mooncakes, a Chinese bakery item, are distributed.

“Last year, we had more mooncakes than we had any previous year and they went faster than any previous year. We gave away all 1,500 mooncakes. This year, we are ordering 2,000,” Kirkwood said. “It’s while supplies last, so people can reserve the mooncakes if you register (for a free ticket) on Eventbrite.”

The sixth festival is set from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. The event is held in conjunction with the Carmel Arts & Design District Gallery Walk.

The festival is presented by the CarmelXiangyang Sister City Committee and IU Health North Hospital.

Carmel resident Ming Ye, who was born in China and has been in the U.S. since 1996, joins Fishers resident Kirkwood as a co-chair for the second consecutive year. Prior to that,

Sandra Long served as the festival’s chair.

The festival starts with a parade, followed by music and dance.

Ching Li serves as event director. Many groups help as well, including Indianapolis Chinese Community Center Inc., members.

“We want to promote the culture, not just to the second generation of the Chinese immigrants, but we want to promote it to the whole community,” Ye said. “We enjoy sharing everything.”

Ye said the Mooncake Festival is known in China as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The concept is similar to Thanksgiving.

Kids share screen with monkey

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Filming a pilot for a TV series was cool enough for Carmel’s 13-year-old siblings Mitchell and Amelia Wray, but ACTING the fact they were doing it with a movie star made it even cooler.

“At first, we were like it’s just a monkey, but then we think about it, and the monkey is way famous,” Amelia said.

Crystal, a 24-year-old capuchin monkey, made her acting debut in the “George of the Jungle” film in 1997 and has appeared in several movies and TV shows since then. She was in “Night at the Museum” and its two sequels and performed as the drug-dealing monkey in the “The Hangover II.” The Wrays filmed a pilot with Crystal tentatively titled “Primate Detectives,” which was shot this spring in Los Angeles.

“She knew when it was play mode, when she could play with us,” Mitchell said. “She knew it was professional mode, too, when the camera was out.”

Amelia said she and Crystal shared a cute scene together.

“I’m excited to see how it turns out,”

Mitchell and Amelia Wray appear with Crystal, a capuchin monkey. (Submitted photo)

Amelia said. “At first, she was a little timid, but we warmed up to each other.”

When Crystal is comfortable with people she starts grooming them by picking through their hair, Amelia said.

The Wrays, who are eighth-graders and homeschooled, are splitting time between Los Angeles and Carmel.

Mitchell spent the entire 2017-18 school year in Los Angeles while Amelia spent the second semester there.

Pure Eatery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8235 E. 116th St., Suite 245, Fishers What to get: Marinated beef tips Price: $16.95 Anna’s take: Pure Eatery’s marinated beef tips are the embodiment of comfort food. The relatively new menu item features beef tenderloin tips, pickled banana peppers and broccoli atop a bed of rice tossed in a pepper cream sauce. I opted for asparagus instead of broccoli. The hearty meal is very filling, and the sauce has a slight kick to it.

The tenderness of the meat counteracts the crispness of the veggies and the kick of the peppery cream-based sauce.

Another option Pure Eatery presented me was its blackened tilapia over a bed of pearled Israeli couscous tossed in pesto and sautéed squash and zucchini for $13.95.

Talk about portion sizes. For the healthier diners out there, this meal would be an excellent option with its giant slab of tilapia serving up a hefty amount of protein. The

The marinated beef tips at Pure Eatery features beef tenderloin tips, rice, asparagus or broccoli and pickled banana peppers tossed in a peppery, cream-based spice. The dish is a great comfort food choice, and it has a bit of a kick to it. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

pesto added a nice nutty flavor but didn’t saturate the dish. Although the blackening spices coat the flaky white fish, the dish is not spicy.

Save for a few brunch items, Pure Eatery cooks all of its menu items in olive oil instead of butter as a healthier option. Many of the menu items come with the diner’s choice of side, and all of Pure Eatery’s salad dressings are gluten-free.

Pure Eatery also has locations in Fountain Square in Indianapolis and Lafayette.

Suggested pairings: Pair the marinated beef tips with a Taxman Brewing Co. Deduction beer, an Ironstone Pinot Noir or a Dark and Stormy cocktail. Pair the blackened tilapia with Fountain Square Brewery hefeweizen, a Sauvignon blanc from 13 Degrees Celsius or a basil lemonade Long Island.

Behind bars: Pachangarita Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 144 oz. limeade, 120 oz. water, 96 oz. tequila, 144 oz. soda water, 144 oz. Sun King Pachanga lager Directions: Pour ingredients into a slushie machine and wait 25 to 30 minutes. Once ingredients have frozen, pour into a glass rimmed with salt and garnish with a lime. Slushies will rotate to different seasonal flavors.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A beer festival featuring only firkins will be the first of its kind in Indiana when Union Brewing Co., 622 S. Range Line Rd. Suite Q, EVENT hosts the event from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sept. 1.

Firkins are beers fermented in casks and served out of the cask. Approximately 10 Indiana breweries will attend the indoor/outdoor event and offer 25 to 30 beers out of 9-gallon casks.

Knepp “This is the first event of its kind in the state, a cask ale-only festival,” said Justin Knepp, founder of Indiana on Tap, which is hosting the festival with Union Brewing Co. “All these other festivals serve cold beer out of kegs, but (with firkins) the beer is fermented in these casks. It’s the craftiest of craft beer in the world, and as much as you try, no two cask beers will be the same due to the fermentation process.”

All of Union Brewing Co.’s beers are cask beers. Some of the other participating breweries have brewed firkins before, but many will be doing so for the first time.

“For the craft beer fans out there, it truly is utterly neat,” Knepp said. “It’s already what makes Union Brewing Co. different. There’s really not many cask ale-only festivals anywhere in the U.S.” Only 225, $40 tickets are available for the comparatively small event. For more, visit carmelfirkinfest.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: West Carmel basement transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal was to create a space that the homeowners could use to entertain family and friends by adding defined spaces and storage.

1. The biggest transformation came from adding a wet bar and peninsula for seating. The new cabinetry added plenty of storage space.

2. In addition to the bar seating, bench seating also was added around the pool table near the bar area. Bench seating is a perfect hidden storage solution.

3. A theater room was created by adding a wall and a doorway with a sliding barn door. This makes it easy to close off the theater room for privacy or leave it open to the rest of the basement.

4. An entertainment system was added, creating convenient storage for the sound system, game consoles and controllers.

5. Additionally, new luxury vinyl tile replaced the carpet throughout the basement.

Background info: This home in the Long Ridge West neighborhood of West Carmel doesn’t appear to need much remodeling. The reason the homeowners were looking to remodel was not because the space was outdated but because it didn’t function well for them.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The original basement was underutilized because it lacked defined spaces and storage solutions. The layout of the space didn’t work for how the homeowners wanted to use it. The original basement used basic materials that didn’t fit the owners’ personal style.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

Babylon Fortress and Church of St. George. (Photo by Don Knebel

In 640 A.D., Christian defenders of the Babylon Fortress held out for six months before being captured by Muslim invaders.

After the Muslims gained control of Egypt, they allowed Christians to build churches within the fortress walls. The famous “Hanging Church,” built in the seventh century, is suspended between the south gate towers of the fortress. The circular Church of St. George was built in the 10th century over the foundation of the northern bridge

tower. Six other churches, a convent and the Coptic Museum are all now within the perimeter of the former fortress, designated “Coptic Cairo” for the Egyptian Christians who still worship in this area.

To infinitives and beyond

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Create a costume for yourself—or your dog—based on a character from a novel on The Great American Read list.

Entry deadline is September 8, and the contest will be held at the Carmel Clay Public Library on September 22.

See guidelines at www.carmel.lib.in.us/greatamericanread.

CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY

When I started working at a new company, I was disappointed to learn that an “enterprise” account had GRAMMAR GUY absolutely nothing to do with spaceships.

Instead, enterprise accounts are the big fish your team reels in so that your proverbial corporate boat stays afloat.

I hate to critique with Captain Kirk, but when he utters, “to boldly go where no man has gone before,” he’s technically breaking a grammar rule.

To boldly go” is an example of a split infinitive. Up until now, the only thing I was worried about splitting was my pants. So, what’s an infinitive, anyway?

An infinitive is almost always a two-word verb phrase with the word “to” in front of the verb. Examples of infinitives include to sneeze, to cry, to dance and to fail.

A split infinitive occurs when you put an adverb between “to” and the verb. It’s like the adverb is rudely cutting in on you and your date at the prom, which makes you want to take the adverb out to the parking lot and punch it in the throat. Examples of split infini-

tives include to loudly sneeze, to softly cry, to confidently dance and to utterly fail.

So, what’s the big deal? Are split infinitives a definitive no-no in English? Not necessarily.

The anti-split infinitive movement grew from a handful of prominent English grammarians in the 18th and 19th centuries who had nothing better to do than to try to bend popular opinions on English grammar rules to those of Latin. By now, these grammarians are all dead, so they don’t get a say anymore.

With that said, it’s probably a good idea to avoid split infinitives in your formal writing; many still view split infinitives as at least quasi-incorrect grammar usage.

But, could you imagine the introduction of a classic show like “Star Trek” where Kirk says “...to go boldly where no man has gone before”? Pop (and nerd) culture just wouldn’t be the same. I’ll split with the grammar snobs and cling on to the Trekkies on this one.

Some people claim that inflating tires to the maximum pressure, rather than the recommended pressure, will increase mileage. This may be true, but over-inflation causes other problems such as rougher ride, premature wear on tires, shocks, struts and other car parts. You may end up spending more for repairs in the long run.
