City receives $1M INDOT grant

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb and INDOT Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson visited Hamilton County Aug. 22 to aninfrastructure nounce the awarding of millions of dollars in matching funds to area communities.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook joined the state officials for a press conference marking the announcement outside the Indiana Design Center in Carmel. Hamilton County, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield will receive nearly $4.5 million combined thanks to the state’s Community Crossing matching grant program.

“Over the past few months, INDOT has worked feverishly to get this program up and running and out to the local communities and have made it just as easy as possible to get projects started and under way,” Hendrickson said.

The state received almost 1,600 applications from 320 communities for this round of funding, and 102 central Indiana cities, towns and counties will receive a combined $47 million to improve local roads and bridges.

“That represents a huge commitment to modernizing local roads and bridges, but beyond that it shows that communities are committed to building the types of neighborhoods where people want to start businesses, grow their businesses and raise their families,” Holcomb said.

The City of Carmel will invest its $1 million in matching grant funds into the construction of a new roundabout and additional improvements at the intersection of Range Line Road and 4th Street in its new Midtown redevelopment.

Not necessarily. This roundabout at Range Line and Carmel Drive is a unique situation.

Search for new director under way

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Public Library is searching for a new director, and some think it could be a coveted position. library Jim Hehner, vice president of the Carmel Clay Public Library Board of Trustees, said that’s because the area library is in great shape, both financially and in its relationship with the community, according to a June 2016 strategic plan provided Hehner at the Aug. 1 Carmel City Council meeting.

Carolyn Goolsby left as director May 17. She was in the position less than a year, coming from Canada to replace longtime library director Wendy Phillips, who retired in the summer of 2015. Assistant Director Nancy Newport served as interim director when Phillips left and is serving in that role again.

“We’re right smack dab in the middle of our national search for a new library director, and we’re getting resumes from across the country from highly qualified individuals,” Hehner told the Carmel City Council Aug 1. “In fact, we’re meeting soon to go over our resumes, and we

think it’s one of the best jobs out there.”

Hehner said they hope to have a permanent director in place sometime in the fall.

In the meantime, Hehner spoke to the Council to give a report on the state of the library and said it is growing. He said more than 2 million items were checked out in the past year.

Claghorn Custom Flooring

The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees met Aug. 22 to get a first look at the proposed 2017 budget, approve bond sales to fund major projects and honor a high school math teacher.

What happened: The board reviewed the preliminary 2017 budget as presented by Associate Superintendent for Business Affairs Roger McMichael.

What it means: The proposed budget anticipates $112.1 million in revenues in the general and referendum funds and includes a 1.5 percent salary increase. Health and dental insurance premiums are not expected to change. The district plans to replace 17 buses, and revenues for the capital projects fund are estimated at $18.6 million.

What’s next: The district will hold a public hearing on the proposed budget at its Sept.

What it means: The technology upgrades are district-wide and will improve infrastructure to support additional tech devices at each school. The improvements at CHS include replacement of flooring and repainting. The projects are expected to increase the tax rate by .0236 cents, effective in 2017.

What’s next: Funds for these projects will be available in late November, with technology purchases beginning in late 2016 and other projects beginning in the spring and summer of 2017.

What happened: The school board recognized Carmel High School teacher Linda Jones for receiving the Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching.

CHS revitalizes main cafeteria

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Beginning last May, Carmel High School began updating its main cafeteria – one of three on campus. The food service cafeteria had not been updated in 30 years, leading to spacing and equipment issues and the need for more cashier lines to serve the 2,600 students cycling through each day.

Updates were finished by the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, allowing for two additional cashiers and a more open cafeteria designed to evoke a college feel. There are six themed lines and new equipment.

“There is a bigger variety of food choices for the kids. We were able to add a salad bar, deli bar, fresh pizza and an international bar to add more variety and make this space easier and more accessible to kids and update the equipment that was failing,” said Jennifer McFarland, director of food and nutritional services.

The updates cost $900,000 and includes new serving lines, refrigeration units, pizza ovens, milk coolers, beverage coolers and more.

The update began with two weeks of school left in May because McFarland said she wanted the students have a brand new

cafeteria for the start of the school year. CHS created an alternate serving area in addition to the other two cafeterias, Greyhound Station and the Freshman Center, during the updates.

“We kept finding parts or lines that needed replaced because of the age. We have so many students frequenting that space every day, and it was a high priority,” McFarland said. “We’re so thankful that the kids were great; we wanted to make sure it was ready for the start of the year.”

CHS senior captures Best in Show

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mary Kane had no idea the Indiana State Fair was featuring decorated bison as part of a legacy project called state fair Bison-tennial in its Arts Building.

It just so happened Kane’s art project was a painting of a bison. When she got to the State Fair, she learned about the exhibit for the first time.

“It was just a happy coincidence,” she said.

Kane, a Carmel High School senior, captured the State Fair’s high school division of Best in Show for her bison.

Kane said she had always wanted to do a piece on a bison. She decided to enter it because her parents, Larry and Connie Kane, really liked the piece.

“They are really big into Western art,” Kane said. “I personally think bison are very majestic animals, and I thought that it was a good piece of mine.”

Kane, 18, said she usually paints or draws people and animals.

“But I’m trying to get more into landscapes, too,” she said.

Kane is planning to apply to art schools, but hasn’t decided where she wants to go.

“I’m hoping to get into the commercial field of art with movies, video games and animation,” Kane said.

Kane also earned second place in the graphic design (forest scene) and third place in painting (owl and mouse). This was the third time she entered the State Fair competition.

In 2015, she earned first place in drawing and painting and third in mixed media in the high school division. In 2013, she earned first place in drawing and fourth place in mixed media in the middle school division.

Astaire students grab top titles

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

For Carmel’s Fred Astaire Dance Studios students, it was more skill than luck on their side at the recent Fred Astaire World Championships at the Bellagio ACHIEVEMENT in Las Vegas.

“We have a very highly successful studio here for competitive dancers,” said Dan Rutherford, who owns the Carmel Fred Astaire Studio with his wife, Nicole Carroll-Rutherford. “But typically speaking one studio doesn’t come home with every champion, and that’s what we did.”

Approximately 15,000 competitors from Fred Astaire Studios all over the world were at the competition in late July, Rutherford said.

The categories are Juniors, A, B, C age divisions for amateur dancers, and Carmel dancers won in all four. Nataliya Avila, who lives in the Geist area, won the B division (ages 35-55) rhythm crown. Her daughter Gabriella Avila, 8, captured the junior Latin championship.

Brittany Overbeck, an Indianapolis resident who owns Blue House Bridal in Carmel, won the A Division (ages 16-34) rhythm title. Vicki Barbera, Zionsville, was the champion in the C Division (55 and older) rhythm and Latin classes.

“I won in 2013 (at the World Championships in Puerto Rico) so it was nice to have a comeback,” said Barbera, who has been an Astaire student for eight-plus years.

Jonah Schneider and Todd Travis were the professionals. Schneider was named the top Latin teacher at the competition.

The students are now preparing for the U.S. Dance Championships, which start Sept. 5 in Orlando.

Tour de Carmel returns Sept. 17

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For more than a decade, cyclists have been participating in Tour de Carmel, an annual ride through the city. This year’s event, scheduled for Saturday Sept. 17, will be cycling the 12th running.

Carmel City Council President Ron Carter helped come up with the idea more than a decade ago and the event has continued to grow.

“It’s so large now that the only place we can have it at is the Monon Community Center because of the parking,” Carmel Clay Parks Director Mark Westermeier said.

A 20-mile ride begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m. A 10-mile ride is from 8:30 to 11 a.m. A kids’ 5K is from 9 to 11 a.m. There are

also adaptive program teams for those with disabilities.

Westermeier said the event has always been a good way to promote the city. There will be live music and vendors with goodies to give away. There’s a $10 per person registration fee.

Tiny boats fill reflecting pool

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Radio-controlled model boats and submarines filled the Veterans Memorial reflecting pool Aug. 6 and 7. The Indianapohobby lis Admirals RC Boat and Ship Club – the local chapter meets in Carmel – runs its ships in the reflecting pool often, but this year it decided to host its event with the SubCommittee and its scale submarines.

“Normally, there’s a separate sub event and a separate scale (ship) event, but this year we decided to combine them,” Indy Admirals Vice President Scott Black said. “The scale event is radio-controlled boats, all of which are scaled to look like real boats down to the smallest detail.”

For the scale ships, the idea is to maneuver the ships through an obstacle course to score points. Throughout the day, the public was invited to watch and give radio-controlled tug boats a try.

“This venue is really unique in the United States, because it’s really big and really shallow,” Black said. “We have people from Canada and Australia come. In our little world, it’s a big event.”

Carmel’s Marie Albertson shares stories of travels, life lessons in books

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Marie Albertson has taken a flying lesson, driven a Lamborghini, jumped out of a plane, ridden a camel in Morocco and gone on an African safari. coverstory All of those adventures came after she turned 70.

The quest for adventures started when the 83-year-old Carmel resident began kayaking at age 65 and started taking trips west.

“I met some women on kayaking trips. They had been around the world, and I thought, Why aren’t I doing that?”

Albertson said. “I came back and my goal was to visit all the continents, which I’ve done now except Antarctica.

That’s a little out of my price range. I have been to Africa three times.”

Albertson, whose husband died 19 years ago after a battle with Parkinson’s disease, has taken all of these trips by herself. She is quick to note that she has made friends in the travel groups.

Albertson’s second book, “Fifty Shades of Grey Humor: Laughing All the Way” was published by Dog Ear Publishing in March.

“I just want people to laugh and enjoy life,” Albertson said. “It’s little anecdotes about getting older and finding humor in life, no matter how old you are.”

Her first book, “Old Librarians Never Die, They Jump Out of Airplanes” was released in 2012.

“I encourage older women to do what they really want to do,” Albertson said. “Don’t be afraid to travel alone, which I’ve done around the world. That’s my focus for women in their 60s and on up. If there is something you’ve always wanted to do, do it. I want to motivate and encourage them.”

Albertson uses her example to prove one is never too old to achieve goals.

“I’m late in life in everything,” Albertson said. “I didn’t start college until I was 47. I got a master’s degree (in library science) at age 60. I just kept going.”

Marie Albertson rides a camel in Morocco in 2008.

Albertson, who was assistant director at the library in Plymouth, Ind., decided to move to Indianapolis without a job at 63. It worked out, as she got a job at the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis for seven years before retiring at 70. She then got an associate’s degree in counseling from Ivy Tech.

Albertson has raised her grandson, Charles Albertson Jr., now 21, since he was 3 years old. Her son, Charles Sr., now lives with his mother and son, as well.

“We’ve had an interesting journey,” Albertson said. “You do what God gives you. Challenges come up but you meet those challenges. I want women to know they are strong enough to meet those challenges, especially my generation that depended mostly on men.”

Frequently, Albertson speaks to women’s groups and has spoken to librarian conventions in San Francisco and Phoenix.

She has always wanted to visit Nepal but isn’t sure she wants to take that long of a trip.

“I didn’t travel for a little while, because I had cancer last year,” said Albertson, who has recovered from a melanoma on her neck. “Now I have traveling shoes back on.”

Her next adventure is to visit England, Scotland and Wales.

Meet Marie Albertson Personal: Lived in Plymouth, Ind. for 40 years. Attended Ancilla College, a community college near Donaldson, for two years and then attended Indiana University-South Bend. Got master’s degree from IU-South Bend.

Has four children, Charles, Carmel; Colette, Springfield, Ill.; Bob, Phoenix; Tamara, Indianapolis. Tamara owns Albertson’s Mortuary in Indianapolis.

She has seven grandchildren.

Indianapolis-area adventures: “I learned how to water board at Eagle Creek. I took a helicopter ride not too long ago. I took pole dancing lessons. Being a librarian, you’re very curious.”

Favorite area restaurants: “My grandson (Charles) and I like Matt the Miller’s and Mitchell’s Fish Market. He’s interested in food, so we like to try different restaurants, and there are a lot of them.”

Favorite experience: Going to Australia and kayaking in the Coral Sea. “It was so neat. That’s the first time I did tree surfing, and we call it zip lining here.” The safari in Tanzania is a close second, Albertson said.

For speaking engagements: Contact mariealbertson@att.net.

“I encourage older women to do what they really want to do.

Don’t be afraid to travel alone.

I want to motivate and encourage them.”

Appreciate the morning workout

The similar candidates

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Our quadrennial presidential sweepstakes regularly provides textbook studies in contrast. And 2016 raises the bar in disparity.

Red and blue. Left and right. Hot and cold. Up and down. Good and bad. Boy and girl. Pro and con. Loud and soft. Rain or shine. Fish and fowl. Dumb and dumber. Perhaps the only fact that supporters of both major party candidates can agree is that differences between the two do exist. Donald Trump is a Gemini and Hillary Clinton a Scorpio. He’s 70 years old while she doesn’t turn 69 until October. And that relative youth obviously goes a long way in explaining why millennials overwhelmingly favor her. One is a Democrat and the other a demagogue. But this is America, damn it, where yeah, sure, we acknowledge our differences. But this is a nation that also embraces that which binds us together, and the number of bizarre similarities the Donald and the Hillary share is uncanny. Well, they’re not quite mirror images, but considering one is a 5-foot-6 career politician and one is a 6-foot-2 reality TV star, there are enough peas-in-a-pod resemblances to call out the doppelganger police. For instance: righthanders with bulletproof hair; total disdain for truth; unfavorable ratings higher than guard geese downwind of a marijuana field on fire; butchers of the English language; and the list goes on. But finally, each candidate is adamant that if the other is elected on Nov. 8 it will be a disaster not just for the nation, but the hemisphere, the planet, the solar system and the universe. And the two have united millions who believe that on this issue they both may be correct.

Goldfish in a bowl Commentary by Terry Anker In what is perhaps the ideal example of thoughtful resource management, goldfish are known to only grow as much as the appropriately supported capacity of their container. If kept in a cereal bowl on the kitchen counter, the tiny fish will remain just that – a tiny fish. If they find their way into a much larger backyard pond, they might flourish into significantly larger creatures. Do we each find our own level of productivity and stick to it? If not, should we?

Anticipating the coming long winter, these waning weeks of summer have long been an impetus for humans to attend to various maintenance projects around home and hearth. The bit of chipping paint on the kitchen window frame, the broken downspout and the cracked footpath, all, in their own time, get attention, repair and restoration. Even with our own labor, we supplement our lack of experience, necessary tools, interest and motivation by outsourcing work to the skilled trades to finish

our projects.

The sidewalk requires overhaul. The dutiful homeowner requests bids from a shortlist of would-be contractors. Some show up on time to inspect the job. Others arrive late. Others don’t bother at all. Some will provide a quote as promised and with due haste. Others must be prodded into action.

Still others disappear without remark. What is the formula to find a match from beginning to end? Why is it that almost all of us claim a desire to “get” the work, but so many, when actually offered a job, withdraw from attempting the task?

Perhaps, too, I am overly eager to review every opportunity, thinking little of my own physical and intellectual constraints in actually doing it. How does the goldfish decide he is big enough for his bowl?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K “Silence is now a precious commodity, a scarce resource hard to come by.”

-Brian Zahnd

I love working out in the morning! Getting up early, heading out into the cool, crisp blackness. Entering a humor zen-like stage of meditation where all I hear are shoes slapping the pavement, rhythmic breathing and the quiet seduction of birdsong. Predawn running is what I live for!

Is anybody buying this load of horse manure? Let’s be real: I absolutely despise getting up early to exercise. Who could possibly enjoy such torture when a relatively new king-size mattress and 600-count Egyptian sheets are begging her to stay?

I’m not Forrest Gump! But the alternative is worse, and so I find myself frequently having to endure that 5 a.m. alarm.

And over the years, I have at least learned to appreciate the morning workout.

I’m able to contemplate life, my family and this column without the pushes and pulls of carpool duty, work, the husband and that sexy temptress known as Netflix. It’s just me and my thoughts for 30 to 60-odd minutes, making it the perfect time to ponder my ripped pants debacle at the previous night’s Meet the Teacher and to establish time of death of said pants (anywhere from 2 to 6 p.m.); to consider how unlucky a black cat’s day will be after I cross his path; and to rehash episode five of my new obsession, “Stranger Things” (Nancy, for God’s sake! Why would you go in there?).

Plus, it’s dark, which means I can literally let it all hang out. Shirt twisted and tucked into a skimpy Daisy Duke, hair pinned into a messy top knot, no make-up, stretch marks a-showing . . . I am living the freedom-tobe-middle-age dream. No sun also means no SPF, no visor and no possibility of heat stroke. And if my bratty little cousin Incontinence makes an appearance, who cares?

There is literally no one alive at that godforsaken hour to notice.

Most importantly, the morning workout gets it over and done with, so that I can spend my free time stocking up on excellent nightmare fodder with “Stranger Things.” (Seriously, Nancy! How dumb are you?) Peace out.

Can Carmel stop being so mean to kids?

Residents should be given a choice on trash collection

Editor, How come Carmel is becoming mean to children? I used to think it was fun to be a kid here. Now, I don’t know.

First, they took away the candy guys from the Carmelfest Parade. This year, I had to just sit and watch all the dumb floats go by. No candy tosses, no excitement.

Now, they are talking about taking another favorite away: tossing bread bits to the ducks and geese on city property. I could be guilty of breaking the law? I know lots of kids my age (six), even those 16 and 60, that like to feed ducks, especially baby ones. Who has to pay the fine? Me, or my daddy? If daddy doesn’t pay the fine will he have to go to jail?

Why does the City of Carmel want to punish me and my kid friends when it is the big people who caused a problem by letting too many foul fowl congregate on city property? Can’t they figure a way to get rid of them? Maybe they could change the dumb laws that prohibit killing them? Oops, that might make someone cry. Well, maybe the big folks don’t know that a swan or two will drive away all the nasty geese. Swans looks so elegant, too. Maybe just a couple of cute signs, “Please don’t feed nasty waterfowl.”

Please, can Carmel stop being so mean to kids?

John Curran, age six (many years ago), Carmel

Editor, I could not agree more with Nancy Thomas’ (Aug. 16) and Sonya Wendel’s (July 26) comments regarding Ray’s vs. Republic trash collection.

We have lived in Carmel 30 years and have had Ray’s all 30 years. I cannot recall a single time they missed a scheduled pickup, and they have always taken everything we set out. I also agree the city council surely has more important things to do than to dictate what trash collector we must use.

Since this is a free country and we are paying for trash collection, we should definitely have our choice on what trash collector we use.

Bob Weeks, Carmel

Lou Gramm rocks at the Warehouse Editor, Just wanted to let your readers know that the District Brewfest with Lou Gramm, the lead singer of Foreigner, was a blast. This event took place on Aug. 20, and it was located near the Old Firehouse and the Warehouse on First Street in Carmel. Part of the proceeds went to Chaucie’s Place.

(Lou Gramm’s band was) high-energy and began throwing their guitar picks at the audience. Just like the old rock concerts!

The audience members were devoted fans of Lou Gramm’s. I talked to several people who had driven from Toledo, Ohio, to see him, as well as a devotee who had T-shirts listing all of his concerts. Another man had a notebook of flyers of all of the venues Lou had played in. He was a true fan.

Thank you to the Warehouse for putting together such a great event.

Card carrying card carrier Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have always wanted to collect something no one else in the world collects.

Over the years at Channel 8, humor I interviewed people with odd collections: a man with thousands of different sugar packets, a man with hundreds of mousetraps and one person with a garage full of water sprinklers. Another had 2,500 monkey wrenches. I even did a report on a woman who collects stamps. How weird is that hobby?

It’s kind of dumb if you’re the only person collecting something. There’s no one to brag to and no one to sell it to when you realize how you have been wasting the last 20 years of your life.

At the car wash yesterday, I noticed a great assortment of greeting cards, far funnier than the average Hallmark selection. People need a good laugh when both they and their cars are getting soaked for 20 bucks.

Many of the cards depicted political figures, replete with caricatures and satirical remarks.

They wish you Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, and Get Well Soon, and there is even a Happy Bar Mitzvah card from “Uncle Bernie,” including a slot for a huge check.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughful, committed citizens can change the world indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Stay Home. Be Moved.

When I got home, I went online to find out how far back the idea of funny political greeting cards went. I wanted to research a little of their history, but I found nothing.

Certainly a political cartoonist would know, so I called one. “Drawing a blank, Dick. And that’s not something most cartoonists will admit to.”

I called a political science professor at IU. “Sorry, I never thought about it, Mr. Wolfsie.

Actually, I believe I can safely say no one has ever thought about it.”

Had I found something that no one else collected? How cool is that?

I now have 25 different politically themed greeting cards, including seven featuring Donald Trump. So now I’m thinking of starting a club, and maybe creating a website or publishing a monthly newsletter about political cards.

And why not? It’s great. I have to be honest with you: I may have the largest collection in the world. Believe me.

NICU staff, families reunite

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The neonatal intensive care unit at St.Vincent Indianapolis has a special place in Kathy Shreve’s heart. hospital Shreve’s son, Andrew, who was born at 26 weeks gestation, was in the NICU for nearly four months.

He is now 7 1/2 years old and a second grader at Towne Meadow Elementary in Carmel.

“He’s had a lot of challenges and therapy, but he’s overcome them one thing at a time,” Shreve said. “He’s doing well in school. He has nice friends and he’s really smart. He’s getting there.”

Shreve’s son, Elliott, 5, was born at 35 weeks and spent a week in the Continuing Care Nursery.

So Kathy and Ryan Shreve and their sons made their yearly trek from Carmel to the 18th annual St.Vincent NICU/CCN Reunion Aug. 20 at Lions Park in Zionsville. The event was for families from both St.Vincent Indianapolis and Carmel hospitals.

“We’ve come every year,” Shreve said of the reunion. “We missed one year when we drove because it was storming bad.”

Rain didn’t deter the family this year. “(Andrew) has got a few friends that he

sees here every year. Three of them are triplets he goes to school with,” Shreve said. “It’s fun to come back and see the doctors. We don’t always find the same nurses.”

Shreve said every year the doctors can see how far Andrew has progressed.

Dr. Shaun Hicks, a neonatologist said the event is like their Super Bowl.

“We get to reunite with families,” Hicks said.

“We connect with families with babies who might not have made it without the specialized care we can provide for them. We’re happy to see families and how well they’re doing, and they’re happy to see us. We’ve built relationships with families that last a lifetime.”

Divorce – Back To School: Controlled Expenses vs. Extraordinary Expenses In Indiana in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are based on the assumption the child(ren) lived in one (1) household with primary physical custody to the parent who undertakes all of the spending on behalf of the child(ren); therefore, that parent controls the children’s expenses.

the parent that does not get the parenting time credit (i.e., the “custodial parent”). If parents decide to share physical custody, one parent will be responsible to pay the controlled expenses.

What are controlled Expenses? Controlled expenses for the child(ren) are not those commonly transferred or duplicated between households.

Typically, controlled expenses are items like clothing, educational (e.g., school uniforms, books and supplies), ordinary uninsured healthcare expenses, and personal care. While there is no exhaustive list, just remember that the controlled expenses are those fixed expenses of the parent who has primary physical custody and are included in the Guideline child support schedules.

Who pays these costs? In any matter where child support is exchanged between parents, the support recipient is responsible for the child(ren)’s “controlled expenses.” For example, the custodial parent buys the backpack for the child(ren) and, as such, the noncustodial parent will not buy a separate one. Thereby, the custodial parent controls this type of expense. According to the Guidelines, the controlled expenses account for 15% of the cost of raising the child(ren). The other expenses are based on the amount of time each parent shares with the child(ren). As such, the more time both parents spend with the child(ren), the more expenses are duplicated or “shared” under the support calculation through the parenting time credit. Since controlled expenses are not shared, they will remain with

How are Extraordinary Expenses divided? When both parents agree that the child(ren) should participate in an optional activity, generally parents either split the expenses equally or pay their pro-rata share based on the income percentage calculated using the child support worksheet. If the parents are unable to reach an agreement on how to divide these expenses, the Court will generally assign responsibility for such costs by considering the following factors: the parent’s ability to pay, which parent is encouraging the activity, whether the child(ren) has/have historically participated in the activity, and the reasons a parent encourages or opposes participation in the activity.

In reality, it is not uncommon for disagreements to occur regarding controlled expenses and extraordinary expenses. If you find yourself in such a situation, you would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel to help find resolution to the issue at hand.

What are Extraordinary Expenses? When calculating child support, the Guidelines do not include components to address the child(ren)’s activities that would be considered “optional” in nature or activities not required by the child(ren)’s school. These expenses are generally related to summer camps, athletics, sports leagues, scouting, band, choir, additional tutoring, and similar expenses.

Food safety begins at home Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again it is important to make a few points about food safety. We don’t want our tailgaters to become part of the group of nearly three milliom estimated by the Mayo Clinic who fall prey to food poisoning. Some can make you sick for a long time, and others can even kill. Every year we post some simple rules that can be easily found online by typing “food poisoningâ€? into a search engine. Here are some simplified rules we follow: • Prepare foods at home – Your kitchen tends to be a lot more sanitary than your tailgate party. Prepare as much as possible at home so that preparation at your tailgate is only grilling/cooking. • Keep things clean – Wash hands, surfaces and utensils frequently and have hand sanitizer for all to use. • Separate, don’t contaminate – Don’t mix uncooked foods during preparation.

Meats have contaminates that can be cooked away, but not vegetables that have come in contact with the surface used to cut meat. • Cook all foods to the proper temperature – To kill bacteria. Meat temperature charts are available online or on our web site at http://tailgatershandbook.com/ Tailgating101/foodsafety.html. • Keep cold foods (especially meats) cold – This means you need a separate cooler for foods and a separate one for drinks.

Here’s a great recipe for a pasta salad that all your guests will love. It is a safer recipe because you keep the food in a serving container at the bottom of your food cooler until you serve it.

This chip dip pasta salad can be kept safe and chilled at the bottom of your cooler until you are ready to serve it. (Submitted photo)

Pasta Salad Ingredients: One package of ranch party dip (chip dip, not salad dressing), One cup of sour cream, One cup of milk, One pound of your favorite spiral pasta, Three cups assorted veggies (we like green peppers, radishes, onions, celery, red peppers, etc.), One cup of large, pitted olives, 1/4 cup crisp chopped bacon pieces Preparation: Prepare the party dip per directions with a wire whisk. Let the mixture thicken in the refrigerator.

Cook the pasta, al dente and then drain it in a colander. Using a large plastic re-sealable container, add the pasta and chopped veggies and bacon. Chill the mixture in the sealed container in the fridge. On game day, mix in the party dip and put the container into the bottom of your cooler/ice chest.

Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook� and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.� His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

How to have that ‘it’ factor Commentary by Beverly Randolph Have you ever observed a business professional who has that “it” factor? For example, a lady walks into the room etiquette and all eyes are on her, commanding attention and respect, without saying a word, and then when she does speak, even more eyes are on her?

Fortunately, “professional presence,” or “gravitas” in the workplace is a quality you can develop and make a part of your corporate image.

I will be bold to advise it is each person’s responsibility and job to showcase their talent. After all, not only does your future depend on how you express your professionalism, but also, and arguably most important, how it is perceived.

Do I have your attention? Great. Let’s empower you and your reputation to achieve your professional and personal goals, all while having “it."

Professional presence is the complete package and not just your wardrobe. It is the way you speak, interact, ask questions, contribute, communicate, sit, stand, use of eye contact, behave, follow-through and keep agreements (integrity), commit to being on time, how your workspace is organized, how prepared you

are, how you handle conflict and how you help others, to name a few attributes. All of this is within your control by recognizing your “opportunities for growth,” along with daily practice improving on one attribute at a time.

The other component is how you are perceived by others regarding the above attributes. Ask three individuals you trust to get an honest baseline. In other words, conduct a 360-degree feedback session. You may be pleasantly surprised or shocked. Regardless, it will be beneficial to know how you are perceived, and it is within your control how you embrace it and change. (Don’t forget to send a thank you note.)

I want you to feel confident, empowered, at ease, and to know what to do in situations. Please let me know what attribute you need help with. Do you have any etiquette dilemmas?

Beverly Randolph, MA, is the founder and director of The Protocol School of Indianapolis and a certified business etiquette, children’s etiquette and international protocol consultant. Beverly lives in Carmel and is an adjunct instructor at Marian University teaching business-related courses. Email her at info@beverlyrandolph.com.

“The reason (EDGE|X) is such a good fit is because of the synergy that exists between Mainstreet and Edge Mentoring. The reason we are such a good fit is because Edge is so dedicated to raising up the next generation of leaders. It’s one of the things that has fueled our massive growth the last few years.”

“Edge is a mentoring organization for millennials ages 22-32,” Edge Mentoring CEO Dave Neff said. “It is a whole life mentoring.

Professional is a big piece of it, but personal habitats and context in the Christian Neff faith are, too. Our mentors are men and women 35 and older with great professional credibility. They have a passion for paying it forward or investing in 20-somethings, and (millennials) reap the benefits of having multiple mentors in their lives.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement of entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

After

The goal was to give this family a functional, lively space to play, relax and entertain.

1. The addition of a fully functional bar with standard kitchen appliances and both drink and food prep areas made this an entertainment hub for the adults. Bar stool seating makes it easy for friends to gather in one place.

2. Barn doors were used to separate the play area from the rest of the basement. This allowed the option of dedicated spaces for adults and children, or one open space for everyone to enjoy.

3. A fireplace was added in the main lounge area of the basement. This gave the basement a calming atmosphere to relax after a long day.

4. There are two areas of this basement dedicated to media entertainment. One is at the bar and the other is in the lounge area by the fireplace.

This gives these homeowners the option of watching a football game at the bar with friends, or a movie as a family on the couch.

Before Background info: The owners of this home in Zionsville’s The Willows neighborhood were looking to remodel their basic builder-grade basement. “Basic” did not fit the life of this family, so our main goal was to give this basement some personality.

Before problems: The No. 1 issue with this basement was underutilized space. There was nothing technically wrong with the basement, but the family wasn’t using it, and wasted space is a problem.

They also needed separate spaces for both the parents and children, zoning off the basement for specific functions.

The library of Ephesus Commentary by Don Knebel

Ephesus, a port on the Ionian coast, was one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire. Its beautiful library now anchors one of Turkey’s most popular travel destinations.

In the second century, Ephesus was the capital of the Roman province of Asia. In about 115 A.D., Gaius Julius Aquila, a Roman consul, began building a library in Ephesus in honor of his father, Celsus Polemeanus, the governor of the province.The building was funded by the personal fortune of either Celsus or his son. When completed, the library rivaled the more famous libraries in Alexandria and Pergamum.

The elaborate façade of the Ephesus library recalled the area behind the stage of Greek theatres, respecting Celsus’ Greek background. Four pairs of Corinthian columns flanked three doors. Windows above the doors faced the morning sun, encouraging library users to rise early. The columns on the façade’s corners were shorter than those in the center, reportedly to create the illusion of a larger building. Niches between the columns held female statues representing wisdom, virtue, insight and knowledge, qualities associated with Celsus. Up to 12,000 scrolls were stored in niches along the interior walls, with double walls protecting the scrolls from the elements. The body of Celsus was interred in a marble sarcophagus beneath the main floor.

Remains of Ephesus library. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The interior of the library and its collection of scrolls were destroyed in 262, either during an attack by Goths or by an earthquake. In the fourth century, the building, its original façade repaired, was repurposed as a nymphaeum.

The façade was later destroyed, and the building lay in ruins until the 1970s, when the façade and portions of the interior were reconstructed from the rubble. During excavations,

the tomb of Celsus was rediscovered, where his body had lain undisturbed for 18 centuries and where it still remains.
