American Specialty Health to move its headquarters to Carmel news@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Gov. Mike Pence on Aug. 30 announced that American Specialty Health Inc. would be establishing its corporate headquarters in Carmel and employing about 675 employees by 2016. growth George DeVries, San Diego-based ASH’s co-founder, chairman and CEO, shared in delivering the news with Pence and Brainard from the new ASH office at Hamilton Crossing III, 12800 N. Meridian St. “We are pleased to welcome ASH’s corporate headquarters to the Carmel community,” Brainard said. “Indiana has created an attractive business climate, and Carmel also has worked hard to build a vibrant city where business can thrive and that appeals to a well-educated professional workforce. We have focused on providing a high quality of life with safe neighborhoods, quality schools, unique retail areas and arts and cultural amenities.”

Carmel has experienced business growth this year, attracting company expansions or relocations, which should result in an estimated increase of more than 2,300 jobs in the next five years. In addition to the ASH relocation of its corporate headquarters, it also has welcomed Next Gear Capital, Baldwin & Lyons, GEICO and Polleo Systems.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered ASH up to $11,500,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $250,000 in training grants based on the company’s job-creation plans. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.

ASH is one of the nation’s fastest-growing, privately held health-services companies, providing fitness, population health and specialty health management to health plans, employer groups, insurance carriers and trust funds. The company was launched more than 25 years ago and now employs more than 1,000 people. The move to Carmel will take place by the second quarter of 2014.

“We have selected Carmel as the site of our national corporate headquarters for a variety of reasons,” DeVries said. “First, ASH has grown from a

California company into a national company, and Carmel provides a central location with proximity to our clients across the nation. Additionally, the state of Indiana has a strong business climate and the cost of doing business is lower. Also, the city of Carmel offers a high quality of life and a family oriented environment for our employees to live and work, with an affordable cost of living.”

The new Carmel office will employ about 300 people by 2014, growing to approximately 675 employees by 2016. DeVries said he anticipates that between 30 and 50 jobs at the new office will be filled by current employees from the San Diego and Dallas operations centers. The remainder of the jobs will be filled through recruitment in the Carmel/Indianapolis region.

“As a state that works for business, successful companies from around the country are drawn to Indiana,” Pence said. “By lowering taxes, increasing our infrastructure, training our workforce and limiting burdensome regulations, Indiana has proven it can create an environment where businesses can thrive and our economy can grow. I thank ASH for its confidence in Indiana and for creating more jobs for talented Hoosiers.”

“As a national health services organization serving 34 million members, we felt it prudent to be prepared for any type of natural disaster,” said DeVries.

“We concluded that, due to the size and national scope of our business, we could best ensure uninterrupted service if we established three geographically separate office locations.”

VanArsdall investigation continues INFINITI Q50

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The investigation is ongoing in the case of Carmel teenager Carly VanArsdall, who was reported missing on the morning of update Aug. 24 and found in South Carolina later that same night. VanArsdall had willingly travelled to Pickens County, S.C., in the car of a 23-year old man she met online.

She was found safe in his South Carolina home and was kept in protective custody with the Pickens County Sheriff’s Dept. until she could be released to the custody of her parents.

“Our detectives are certainly wanting to talk to her,” said Lt. Joe Bickel of the CPD. “As of August 25, we’re not sure if she went back to school or not, but she has been returned to the custody of her parents. We’re definitely working on it.”

VanArsdall had maintained an online relationship with the South Carolina man since February and records of those interactions found on her computer, which she left behind, were the key to locating her.

At question is whether or not criminal charges

will be filed against the South Carolina man. Until he is charged, his name will not be released. A representative of the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s office stated that no details of the ongoing investigation are available as of press time, but the possibility of federal involvement remains since the two crossed multiple state lines on their way to South Carolina.

CFD receives unique accreditation

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Fire Department received Accredited Agency Status from the Commission on Fire Accreditation public safety International during the Fire Rescue International Conference in Chicago on Aug. 14 and 15. The accreditation is a result of an internal assessment of past, current, and future service levels and internal performance. These levels are then compared to industry-best practices worldwide.

CFD is now one of only three fire departments in Indiana to be accredited.

“I’m proud of the diligence the fire department has shown in order to get through the long intensive process of self-assessment required for accreditation. Not only have they proved their

willingness to continuously improve as a city department, they have shown commitment to provide the best services to Carmel,” Mayor Jim Brainard said.

“This accreditation took years of dedication and it would not have been possible without the hard work and long hours of the sworn firefighters, civilian staff, and previous administrations of the CFD. We are committed to continuing the practices learned throughout the accreditation process to serve the community with the highest standards,” Carmel Fire Chief Matt Hoffman said.

CPSE’s Accreditation Program leads to improved service delivery by helping fire departments to: determine community risk and safety needs, evaluate the performance of the department, and establish a method for achieving continuous organizational improvement.

CCS: A green machine

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com Under the leadership of Energy Manager Bob Yull, district-wide energy savings plans have culminated in two awards to Education the Carmel Clay School Corporation this year. The corporation earned Cenergistic’s 2013 Energy Lighthouse Award and both Carmel and Forest Dale Elementaries earned Energy Star Building status.

Yull pointed out Dr. Steve Tegarden, who recently served as Interim Superintendent, initiated the partnership with Cenergistic, formerly known as Energy Education, in 1995 to develop an energy-savings plan.

“We sought input from building administrators and staff,” said Yull. “There was, and is, great support from the central office and staff.”

He expressed appreciation for the school corporation’s support and thanked Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs Roger McMichael and High School Building Manager Rusty Creech for their assistance and direction.

Yull announced Carmel and Forest Dale are the tenth and eleventh schools in the district to earn Energy Star scores in the 80th percentile of the nation. “It’s an award not only for energy efficiency,” he said, “but quality, too. You can’t just shut off all the lights and proclaim you’re energy efficient.”

Yull emphasized, however, the program’s success also relies on students taking “an ac-

tive role by helping with lighting in unoccupied rooms.”

“Lighting can be up to half of the monthly usage in an electric bill,” he stated and recommended replacing high-wattage lightbulbs.

Three schools participate in the National Energy Foundation’s Energy Patrols pilot program: Carmel Clay, Smoky Row and Cherry Tree.

A trained adult Energy Action Leader encourages student monitors to search for ways their schools could save energy.

The Foundation tracks and audits the savings twice a year to determine which practices work through federal State Energy Program grants.

“Carmel Clay schools had foresight to be trailblazers,” said Dr. Mike Bitar of Cenergistic. “Of all of our clients, there are only a handful that has sustained.”

Bitar explained some clients struggle to maintain energy efficiency. In 1995, Carmel Clay Schools were one of less than 100 clients. Today, Cenergistic serves over 1,250 clients with energy consultation.

“Carmel Clay schools has raised the bar for many,” Bitar said. “This is one more example of how Carmel clay does things. You do it right.

You’re committed.”

While Cenergistic forms the base of the energy program, Yull said the corporation also seeks advice from the school architect and utility companies.

At the Aug. 26 school board meeting, engineering teacher and robotics team coach George Giltner introduced four team education members from the Carmel high school student body and one wired member with a chrome body: Robot 868.

TechHounds leader Molly Wardlow said it took “eighty students and six weeks of late nights to build the robot for the competitions.” She explained how team members divided tasks such as programming, electrical, construction and even public relations.

Member Jacob Swiezy said preparations included “building a fifty-four foot by twenty-seven foot field with goals of different points” to mimic competition standards.

The team practiced loading the robot with flying discs and shooting them at different speeds and angles to reach a rectangle opening 91 inches above the floor.

“The robot must maneuver the field against competing robots to score,” he said.

Members Aryaman Gupta and Vincent Mai assisted with a video presentation of the robot’s construction and competition action.

Video showed Robot 868 zipping past competitors, firing discs into the goal with high speed. At one point, students maneuvered 868 into climbing an open-frame tower in the center of the field. The robot reached for an overhead bar and flipped to earn bonus points.

Giltner compared the spectator’s excitement at the competitions to the cheers at a homecoming football game.

In the last year, the robotics team was named Boilermaker Champs at Purdue Regionals , received an Industrial Design Award, and earned Crossroads Champs in another regional competition. The TechHounds also won the Indiana State Championship.

At the 2013 FIRST regionals competition in Indianapolis, the team finished fourth in their division against 23 other teams. FIRST competitions have been dubbed online as “the Super Bowl of Smarts.”

The FIRST organization stands “For Inspiration

and Recognition of Science and Technology” and holds its annual national competition in a chosen city for four years. In 2014, St. Louis will host its final year. Student Jacob Swiezy believes Indianapolis has a bid for the next four.

FIRST’s website reads teams “must compete at the regional level” to pre-qualify. Competition fields are named after “some of the greatest scientists and mathematicians.”

“It’s a real privilege to be the coach of the robotics team,” said Giltner. The team operated 868’s celebration mode – the robot raised its arms and a series of LED lights flashed in blue and gold Carmel high school colors.

Carmel school board recap

By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com Perfect scores and state championship Carmel High School students have achieved perfect ACT composite scores of 36. They are Courtney Best, Hafsa Razi, education Patrick Tan, and Sophia Yin. High school principal John Williams said, “Of the 1.6 million students who took the test last year, only 781 earned a perfect score.”

Tan also earned a perfect score on his SAT. The high school robotics team TechHOUNDS demonstrated their championship robot 868.

Team leader Molly Wardlow, Aryaman Gupta, Vincent Mai, and Jacob Swiezy ran a video presentation with clips from competitions. Eighty students worked on the robot under the direction of coach and engineering teacher, George Giltner, and 30 volunteer mentors. The TechHOUNDS won two regional competitions, the Indiana State Championship, and placed fourth out of 24 teams at the Indiana FIRST State Championship.

Anti-bully policy approved The revised policy “may be applied regardless of the physical location in which the bullying behavior occurred, whenever the individual committing the bullying behavior and any of the intended targets of the bullying behavior are

students attending a school within the School Corporation” and enforces immediate disciplinary action.

New software approved New World financial and human resources software recommended by IT Director Christi Cloud was approved by all members. Transition to the new program will begin this fall.

Carmel Dads’ Club partnership The board considered the Carmel Dad’s Club offer to install artificial turf on one practice field north of the football stadium for an estimated $700,000. Asst. superintendent Roger McMichael explained this proposal includes the school district installing artificial turf on the second practice field to “increase the opportunity for a volume discount.”

2014 budgets Roger McMichael presented the 2014 budgets and summarized, “considering inflation and cost of utilities, it isn’t bad, but it does cause some concerns.” He reminded the board these are conservative projections accommodating the “$4 million shortfall from the state.” Projections indicate a steady decline in the cash balance into 2016. McMichael said “It’s still a stable condition based on the state agency’s recommended minimum, but we need to keep an eye on it.”

Family, church lose loved member

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

“He was 6-foot, 5-inches with a gift and passion for culinary. He applied it in a unique way to serve others and wasn’t tragedy afraid to use his resources to serve others and lead others because of that. That would best describe my brother.” – Richard Gripp on his younger brother, Doug.

Doug B. Gripp, 52, of Carmel was volunteering to prepare a men’s ministry barbecue on Aug. 26 at Grace Community Church, 5504 E. 146th St. Manning a grill that he had used countless times to cook large meals, tragedy struck as the grill exploded, killing Gripp in the process.

“He was doing what he loved to do,” Richard Gripp said, speaking on behalf of the family.

“Doug had a passion for culinary, not as a business but as a joy. He loved grilling, loved the making of all the things and applied that to his faith.”

Gripp said his brother was a very strong family man who “let his walk match his talk.” He purchased large quantities of food then prepared meals for the homeless in Indianapolis.

“He was serving others in need. He did this on a repeated basis,” Gripp said.

Doug had the idea of incorporating his passion for food and leadership with the church. What started with four men has now expanded to 30.

“He opened up a whole new aspect of men’s ministry,” Gripp said. “Doug would say it’s not about the food – that was the bait – it was about leading others to give back.

Gripp said his brother was detailed, thorough, and used best practices, even in the moments

leading up to his death.

“Before he lit the smoker he told everybody to get back and that saved everyone’s life,” he said.

“There was no human error or mechanical error.

There was nothing anybody could have done or not done. It was a very rare situation.”

The grill was taken by investigators to a secure storage location. NFD Division Chief Rick Russell said the department was working in conjunction with the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office to determine the cause of the explosion, which was not available at publication time.

“We’ll look at the explanation we have and ask, ‘Does it match up to the injuries of the victim?,’” Russell said, adding NFD is using the same systematic approach with this incident as they would a fire investigation.

Overlay height rule removed

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com An important change was made to the Range Line Road Overlay during the Carmel Land Use Committee meeting on Aug, 27. land use An overlay is a set of additional restrictions placed on a particular neighborhood or commercial area in addition to current zoning and land use requirements.

The Range Line Road Overlay was established in 2005. Criteria included landscaping, lighting and brick façade requirements. It also mandated that all new buildings be two stories. This requirement presented a stumbling block for some new businesses that had their eyes on Range Line Road. It was a deal-breaker for Earth Fare, so they received a variance. Several businesses along Range Line Road have vacant space upstairs that they cannot or will not rent.

“CVS cannot rent the space upstairs due to security concerns related to the controlled substances in the pharmacy,” Councilor Luci Snyder said. “The second story on the Shapiro’s building was used for a small office but it was an expen-

sive requirement. Turkey Hill’s second floor has been empty since it opened and KFC’s upstairs is empty too. The Fineberg building, which houses Noodles & Company, only works because Fineberg moved their offices there.”

“This was an attempt to get a certain look for the area, but we had to acknowledge that it wasn’t working for the businesses,” Snyder continued.

The Carmel Chamber of Commerce’s 14-member business issues committee had mixed views of the requirement.

“Some members took the position of putting themselves in the shoes of business owners who have already had to comply,” said Mo Merhoff, chamber president. “They were saying, ‘I wouldn’t be too happy if I had been forced to do this and now other new businesses don’t have to.’ But others worried that new businesses might be put off by the requirement and felt it needed to be changed. I could get on either soap box. I can see both sides.”

An ordinance will be drafted to amend the overlay and presented to the city council on Sept. 16.

treating water, having been in use for approximately 2,000 years. The water moves through the filter and travels through the sand, filtering suspended solids such as dirt. After a couple weeks, a slime layer (“shmoop stick”) will form, which breaks down and dissolve organic matters or humic acids. This part of the filter is especially important as a result of the abundance of organic matter in the streams and rivers.

As for the second step, water-treatment filters usually use one of four ways, which consist of the usage of UV light, chlorine, ozone or boiling.

Segovia recently has produced the second step using ozone.

One of the specialties of Segovia’s kit is that two of the filters, which oftentimes are used to hold the sand on top, are eliminated. Instead of the eight inches that most filters in a sense “waste” are instead used for filtering as mesh layers.

However, Segovia said, the two main features of his kit are that most of the equipment used is very affordable and mobile. By allowing each community to use buckets and sand provided in the household, Segovia and his teammates have made water treatment more economical than have other organizations. Therefore, if a community has a bucket, the kit is easily accessible.

Also, if a community is not able to afford buckets, the organization can deliver 20 buckets in a conventional suitcase, which eliminates most shipping fees.

Exemption possible for gun range

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel Plan Commission will review Tom Willingham’s Point Blank Gun Shop application for a new facility at 969 Range business Line Rd. on Sept. 17.

Previous Current reports have addressed the issues faced by neighbors of the Point Blank Gun Range in Blue Ash and nearby Montgomery, Ohio. Concerned citizens who live within a mile or less of the range have repeatedly appealed to their city council, local police officials, attorneys, the media, and Willingham in an effort to resolve the issue of noise from the gun range that results in an “unbearable” situation for them.

In response to the concerns voiced to the Blue Ash City Council, Steve Pollack of Montgomery received a letter dated Aug. 15 stating that both Montgomery and Blue Ash have conducted “numerous investigations and tests concerning the noise and have concluded that the noise level did not violate any ordinances.” The letter stated that there is “nothing further the city can do from an enforcement perspective.”

How is This Possible?

There is a state statute in Indiana and Ohio that specifically exempts gun ranges from civil or criminal liability as a result of noise pollution from their operations. (see sidebar.) Mayor Jim Brainard believes that the statute refers only to pre-existing ranges. An attorney who serves as a source for the Current disagrees.

“On the face of it, this statute could be used to argue that a new range would be exempt if they were not violating any laws or ordinances in their construction or operation,” the source said.

This law was recently put to the test in Marshall County, Ind. in Yates v. Kemp. In this case, two neighboring families brought suit against

317.846.8372

Liability relating to noise A person who owns, operates, or uses a shooting range is not liable in any civil or criminal matter relating to noise or noise pollution that results from the operation or use of the shooting range if the construction and operation of the shooting range were legal at the time of its initial construction or initial operation, and the shooting range continues to operate in a manner that would have been legal at the time of the inception or initial operation.

their neighbor because he created a shooting range in his backyard. In the initial court proceedings, it was determined that he was not liable for his neighbors’ noise claims under statute IC 14-22-31.5-6. However, on appeal, the judgment was reversed because the disturbances do fall under the definition of a “nuisance,” which differs from a noise ordinance violation. As of publication time, the appeal is still pending.

Opposing Views Guy Relford, an attorney specializing in the second amendment, also concedes that there is gray area in the statute. Relford is involved in the new 15-lane indoor gun range, Tim’s Shooting Academy of Westfield, scheduled to open in November.

“Our range is in an industrial area, surrounded by warehouses. I’m still very surprised at the Carmel location they are proposing,” Relford said.

“The noise issue is a non-starter,” said Carmel City Council President Rick Sharp, the only member to address the subject. “I have every confidence that Mr. Willingham will be a good neighbor. It all comes down to design. If they make a commitment to abide by our noise ordinance, then they have to abide by it, whether the state law exempts them or not.”

Help with Carmel PorchFest 2014 Commentary by Jeff Worrell

A visitor fortunate enough to cross the city limits and enter Carmel on Sept. 14 next year will have the good forvolunteerism tune of sharing a new experience.

Our city will feel and act differently on that day.

I easily can imagine a year from now that day to be a typical Indiana fall Sunday afternoon, perfect with peaceful weather. On that day, though, Carmel guests and residents are in for an unexpected treat unlike anything they have experienced. But, to completely enjoy the experience, everyone must make his or her way to the Arts & Design District.

Actually, that is not exactly correct. Yes, residents and guests should head toward the Arts & Design District, but specifically they should go to the homes north of the Carmel Arts & Design District, ones that have a front porch.

Once there, they should feel absolutely comfortable to plant themselves right in any front yard with their very own lawn chairs if and only if; there is a musician performing on the front porch of any particular home – and there will be 15 to 20 front-porch “stages” that day.

It’s Carmel PorchFest 2014, an idea proposed

by Mayor Jim Brainard to a group of volunteers willing to bring the concept to life. Sue Finkam, the Northeast District city councilor, is the chair

of the inaugural event, which actually has a dual purpose. “Many people do not realize the quaint neighborhoods north of Main Street which are experiencing a significant revitalization. This event is a fun way to show off the area,” she said.

The undiscovered streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District will be humming with the sounds of acoustic guitars, full bands, duos, trios and everything in between. I’ll be joining Finkam on the committee, as will her fellow councilor, Ron Carter, local builder Justin Moffett, the Midwest School of Voice’s Blair Clark and Heather Ramsey Clark, Current Publishing’s Steve Greenberg and Brainard.

The committee has several basic needs. The call is out for performers willing to donate their time and talents in an effort to entertain the masses. All musical acts, no matter whether pro or amateur, will be considered.

The committee is in search of porches (and driveways) in the area north of Main Street on both sides of Range Line Road. To apply as a musical act or offer up your porch, keep an eye on the website, www.carmelporchfest.org.

There, information and additional details will be forthcoming.

The ensemble invites the audience on a magical journey. (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

Pippen portrays good, evil in Civic season opener Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com If you’ve never seen this show, haven’t seen it lately, or have only heard the catchy tunes from it, you may think of “Pippin” as a light-hearted show about a merry band of troubadors who show us the coming-of-age story of a young prince. The reality is that while the show is indeed chock-full of cover story lively and memorable tunes, it actually explores a sharp contrast between good and evil, and the struggle that we all face daily to do the right thing and find our place in the world.

Stephen Schwartz’ “Pippin” debuts at the Tarkington Theatre on Sept. 6, opening Civic Theatre’s season.

The opening number in the show is “Magic to Do,” in which the audience is invited to take a journey along with a magical and mysterious troupe of players. The Leading Player tells the audience about Pippin, the son of a king, who is searching for meaning and significance in his life. Pippin then enters and tells of his search in the popular song “Corner of the Sky.” Pippin’s adventures take him through various loves, war, and even murder until he finally finds his own version of a happy ending.

“The music is what really drives this show,” said musical director Brent Marty. “It has a pop feel and it really pulls the audience in.” Marty will conduct the thirteen-piece orchestra, which includes three keyboards. “Pippin has always been a favorite of mine—I just saw it on Broadway,” said Marty, who has been with Civic since 1998.

“Pippin” is directed by Ryan Koharchik. He has been the resident scenic and lighting designer for Civic since 1996. Some of his most notable Civic productions include: “Evita,” “Aida,” “Into the Woods,” “The Ensemble members Ashley Saunders and Dejuan Jackson (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

• “Pippin” runs through Sept. 21.

• Performances are Wednesday through Sunday.

• Tickets are $46.50 for adults, $36.50 for children and teens up to age 18 • (The show contains mature content and may not be suitable for children under 12)

Will Rogers Follies” and “City of Angels.”

“At the heart of this show is the choice between the darkness and the light,” said Koharchik. “We all have a good voice and a bad voice in our own heads, and only we can choose which voice we listen to.

It’s an ‘everyman’ story.”

In various productions of “Pippin” over the years, the role of The Leading Player has been portrayed by both men and women. Ben Vereen originated the character on Broadway, for which he won a Tony. In Civic’s production, the role is played by Nathalie Cruz, who was last seen playing the Witch in “Into the Woods” on the Booth Tarkington stage.

“I wanted to cast a woman in the role,” said Koharchik, “because I wanted Pippin’s love interest, Catherine, to represent the voice of goodness and The Leading Player to represent the voice of darkness.”

The role of Pippin is played by Ethan Litt, a former Ball State student who is making his Civic debut. He is from Indianapolis, IN and recently graduated from Ball State University with a BFA in musical theatre. “Ethan brings an instant likability to the character. He was the perfect choice,” said Koharchik.

Of the journey that the show takes, Koharchik said, “I want the audience to constantly wonder, ‘what’s happening next?’ The show is full of surprises. It explores different time periods, including a 3-D ‘trip’ through the 70’s. But I wanted to make it relevant to today as well, so we’re using video as well.”

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP The future of mass transit here

Putting the rocks in Shamrocks It is our position that city of Westfield is to be congratulated for its’ ranking as one of America’s best small towns by Money magazine. The city, which has a population of 31,857, garnered a No. 18 ranking. Forever in the shadow of neighboring Carmel in the areas of education, entertainment, housing and prep athletics, Westfield has quietly created their own bright spotlight. Set to open in April 2014, the Grand Park Sports Complex will feature 31 soccer/multipurpose fields, 26 baseball diamonds, and over 10 miles of trails and pathways including a trailhead on the Monon Corridor. The Grand Park Sports Campus is anticipated to attract 650,000 visitors in its first year of operation and 1.5 million visitors in future years.

The master development plan for the city outlines approximately 1,400 acres of land available for residential and commercial development including hospitality (hotel, restaurant and retail), mixed-use, life science and corporate office uses. The city’s education system and low crime rate also factored into the rankings. Will folks from Carmel migrate to the north? Only the shadow knows. Congratulations to the citizens of Westfield for putting the “rocks” in Shamrocks.

Lead thinking Commentary by Terry Anker It could be a weakness of mine, but every few years or so I indulge myself in some manner and sort of “leadership” training. Like many things, it strikes me that leadership is a talent that is nurtured rather than a skill that is mastered. To be sure, there is some redundancy in the messages – and there are a lot of gimmicks (all designed, innocently enough I think, to help us remember both the message and the author). Having now traversed a decade or two of this kind of education, one can begin to see the patterns.

There are some who argue that to lead is to serve – imagine Mahatma Gandhi saying, “There go my people, I must hurry to catch up with them for I am their leader.” Others might argue that leadership must be strict and demanding from the top – imagine Nicco Machiavelli saying, “A leader ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred.”

Others still urge that leadership cannot be

taught (or learned) and only received as a genetic coincidence at birth – imagine Winston Churchill saying, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” While Sir Churchill was likely quoting another Englishman, William Shakespeare, the point is the same. Namely that leadership can be simply born if not pursued or demanded.

I’m not sure which, if any or all, of these views is correct. If nothing else, this twice a decade renewal refreshes my commitment to thinking about leadership as a thing to be practiced rather than a proficiency added to be added to a resume. Doesn’t taking time to consider “leadership” as both an object and as an act remind us to consider how and to whom we choose to apply it?

We’ve heard all the arguments about why mass transit will save the republic by helping to protect the environment, ease traffic congestion and possibly speed commutes into and from downtown Indianapolis. If the proponents and creators of the plan were really honest, they would admit they forgot one other reason that protects an encompassing special-interest group: the unions, whose minions, in large measure, make the current IndyGo deficit-heavy system go. We laughed out loud when the system’s communications department floated a news release at us last week. It was headlined, “INDYGO SERVICE IMPACTS DUE TO LABOR DAY HOLIDAY AND SPECIAL EVENTS.” We just had to read it. While it did mention street closures for the just-concluded Labor Day Weekend, it also noted “a Sunday/ Holiday schedule in observance of Labor Day.” Allow us to translate: That means unless the union workers got triple-quadruple overtime – you know, the kind the rest of us saps don’t get – the service would have been decimated further. True, no one would flood buses from the northern suburbs on a holiday weekend, but the fact that these so-called government holidays hold many of us hostage is ludicrous.

Face it: This is exactly what will happen if we allow government-run mass transit up in these parts. Travelers will be beholden to union rules. We may not prevail, but you can bet we’ll fight this every step of the way.

••• We stand corrected. We wrote in this space (Current, Aug. 20) that congressional staffers were exempt from Obamacare.

Disappointment leads to learning Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband, Doo, and I have been through the emotional ringer twice in the last week. Two of our children were trying out for humor school sports teams − the first time either has experienced an honestto-God tryout, where, gasp, they MAY NOT MAKE IT! Our freshman soccer hopeful has been playing since he was five, starting with rec leagues and then on to the sell-your-organs-to-afford travel circuit. He’s OK. Doo and I gave him a 50/50 chance, considering he was up against 40 other ninth-graders. The tryouts themselves were brutal– doubles for three days, with the selection coming at the end of the last practice. When we pulled into the parking lot, we could see the coaches settling down about a hundred teenagers, and delivering the standard “Thanks for your effort, we can’t take all of you, blah, blah, blah.” I felt sick. His best hope was that they could see his potential (he’s almost 6 feet tall), but even then, his odds were slim. I muttered one last Hail Mary, and then suddenly, it was happening. Boys began jumping up and running off to a distant huddle.

Our son’s name was not called. I was in shock. Somewhere deep down I had harbored the notion that his making the team was a sure thing. How could this have happened? What was wrong with these coaches? Why did they hate my child? The tears came when Doo took him

into Yogurtz. All those years, all that work. Was it too late to transfer him to a smaller school?

Crazy thoughts zoomed through my mind until I forced myself to get a grip. He’s only 14, for God’s sake. He’ll get over it. But would I? Our daughter’s volleyball tryouts started the following Tuesday. She’s only been playing for a year, so I wasn’t expecting much, but as she plowed her way through the four-day process, I became cautiously optimistic. After all, she only had to beat out five others. On Friday, Doo and I found ourselves once again in a parking lot. We fidgeted anxiously as individual girls emerged from the school’s double-doors. Some were crying, and we secretly cheered. Imagine that! Supposed adults celebrating when a poor little seventh-grader’s dream has just been crushed. Doo and I had been reduced to psycho parents. Finally, our daughter appeared. Stoic, then all smiles.

But she too was a “no.” Jeeze-Louise! Who do I have to pay to get a kid on a stupid team?

In my heart I know these setbacks are good learning experiences. But right now, I’m sad that they won’t have the unique opportunity to play for their schools. And I’m exhausted. Real tryouts are just too stressful. Peace out.

Divorce – What To Expect: Collaborative Law Collaborative divorce is a process by which couples work through issues of child custody, parenting time, division of financial assets and payment of marital bills and expenses through non-litigation techniques guided by specially-trained, experienced family law attorneys with the assistance, if necessary, of collaboratively trained professionals, such as child and financial specialists. The goals of collaborative practice are similar to litigation in that collaborative professionals consider the best interest of the children in custody and parenting time issues and the law in the division of assets and debts. However, collaborative professionals do not consider these issues in a vacuum, but rather in ways that also address the emotional and personal needs of the family that is being separated.

Collaborative practice recognizes that the spouses are often forever linked – even if divorced- by children, grandchild, and long-time friends.

The collaborative model is designed to assist divorcing spouses work through their disputes constructively and peacefully. This allows both parties to move forward as individuals with dignity and respect without the post-traumatic stress that often accompanies divorce. At the outset of the collaborative case, each party signs an contract to work to resolve all issues related to the divorce outside of the courtroom.

Just as in divorce litigation, collaborative practice requires both parties to provide full disclosure of all relevant issues and facts involving the children, as well as a full disclosure of all financial assets and liabilities. Both parties exchange all information and documentation necessary to make informed decisions regarding custody, parenting time, and division of the marital estate. Moreover, each party is given the time necessary to process, evaluate, and apply the information to his/her individual circumstances.

Through collaboration and communication, parties are able to resolve their differences in such a way that is beneficial to both. Most often, this is done by participation in several planned conferences, with various professionals involved as needed. The agenda’s for each conference are predetermined and parties are prepared to address the issues for each conference.

There is a Chinese proverb that is often used by collaborative professionals: “never cut what can be untied.” This is especially true in cases where married couples, especially those with children, know that divorce is inevitable, but do not wish to undergo the financial, personal, and emotional expense and stress of litigation. Dissolution is never a “winner-take-all” proposition. In fact, in most cases, there are no real winners, only losers. Protracted litigation takes a personal toll that may never be repaired. Litigation often results in emotional hurt, hard feelings, distrust and outright hatred, which negatively impact the ability of the parties to successfully co-parent their children.

Collaborative dissolution is for anyone who doesn’t want to ruin his/her life by a divorce.

Divorce is never a happy experience, but collaborative practice makes it as good as it can be. If you are interested in collaborative divorce, call any member of our collaborative team. We will be glad to answer any questions, and help you decide whether collaborative divorce is right for you!

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Game, buddies tee him off

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

The golf course where I play is now allowing seniors to hit from the ladies’ tees in the tournaments. The idea is that when you humor reach a certain age you can’t hit the ball as far as the young bucks, so allowing this advantage to those over 65 levels the playing field. Many of the guys choose not to indulge in this option because they claim it is emasculating. Some of these men have been married 40 or more years. All of a sudden, this is an issue?

The first round I played from the shorter tees, I had five pars and two birdies. I also had three guys call me Rosemary. On the 19th hole, Tina the bartender put a little flower in my drink. That’s the last time I’ll order a Shirley Temple.

It got worse as the day went on. When I was in the men’s room, Vince walked in and said “Whoops, sorry, wrong door,” then covered his eyes and backed out.

When I got home, Mary Ellen, who has no real interest in my favorite sport, had a question about some of the terminology used in the game.

“In golf, what do they mean by the purse?” I explained that the purse was the total winnings in dollars available to the players in a tournament.

“Oh, I’m glad you won money today, but be

more careful in the future,” said Mary Ellen. “The guys at the club just called and told me to tell you that you left your purse on the golf cart.”

Later that evening the women’s club champion called and asked me to stop winking at her husband at the bar.

I had taken enough flack and needed a break.

“Where are you going?” Mary Ellen asked.

“I have an appointment to get my hair done.

Jeesh, I mean, to have my hair cut…my hair cut.

Now I’m doing it to myself.”

This past Saturday I told my younger golfing partners that I was going to hit from the men’s tees, hoping it would end the abuse. Of course, I did end up hitting most of my second shots from the ladies’ tees. Then on Sunday there was a mixed tournament where the senior men and women played together. After we had all teed off, the search began for our respective shots.

“I think I found your ball,” called Randy, who had walked down the left side of the fairway.

“Is my ball the farthest?” I asked.

“No, but it is the pinkest.”

Turns out ol’ F. Scott Fitzgerald was right. The rich really are different from you and me.

Especially when they get behind humor the wheel.

Did you see this story? A study suggests people who drive luxury automobiles which shall remain nameless but whose initials include B. M., and W. act like they own the road and the rest of us are just using it at their sufferance.

Here’s the gist of it: Researchers at the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California in Berkeley, studying behavior and wealth, devoted a portion of their research to driving habits.

They looked at two situations: One at an intersection in which a pedestrian entered a crosswalk as a car approached (under California law, the car is required to stop and let the pedestrian cross); and at a four-way stop with more than one car at the crossroads.

In each case they found the more expensive the car, the more low-rent the behavior – and the more low-value the car, the nicer the driver.

“You see this huge boost in a driver’s likelihood to commit infractions in more expensive cars,” said researcher Paul K. Piff. “In our crosswalk study, none of the cars in the beater category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians.”

The study also found that at four-way stops,

the old rule about the car on the right going first was pretty much ignored by the well-heeled and well-wheeled.

Now, this is not to suggest that all rich people are rude drivers, or that all rude drivers are rich, or that all who drive Beemers are rich and rude.

Some are upper middle class and rude.

Kidding. Just a little BMW humor there.

No, really, we’ve all run across (or been run into by) plenty of examples that defied the study results. You don’t have to have money to be a non-signaling turner and lane-changer, a tailgater, a passenger-side passer, or a soon-as-the-light-turns-green-horn-honker.

But still, there must be something to the survey. I wonder if the take-away isn’t so much a question of money making people into bad drivers, as making them arrogant. I think it might have something to do with isolation, of people who use wealth to wrap themselves in a sort of cocoon not just behind the wheel but in every aspect of their lives. Maybe money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a certain kind of isolation.

Or so I surmise. Having never had money to speak of, I can’t really say.

But I can say that when you see me rumbling up to a four-way stop, you can be sure I’ll be polite about taking my turn. I drive an old truck.

Fun for all ages at Zionsville Fall Fest

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com

As the final days of summer draw to a close, the annual end of season checklist rears its unwelcome head: Most area schools festival are back in session. Check. Many families have returned from vacation. Check. People are making the most of the remaining days of warm weather. Check.

However, residents of Zionsville have one more item on that checklist, and it is one of celebration and community spirit, the annual Fall Festival. The Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival is a week-end long event featuring food, games, carnival rides, live entertainment, and vendors; not to mention an auction, dancing, and a kickoff parade. The theme of this year’s Fall Festival is “Rock around the Clock.”

Since its inception, Fall Festival’s goal has been to raise money to maintain Lions Park, and it remains the Lions Club’s biggest fundraiser.

Tim Reinhart, Lions Club president and Festival chair, explained both the need for financial resources and the significance of Lions Park.

“The park is not supported by tax dollars.

All of the revenue for the park comes from the Lions Club fundraisers,” he said.

Attendance at the festival will be crucial to meeting fundraising goals. “We anticipate a crowd of about 25,000 over the three days,” Reinhart said.

The three days will kick off on Sept. 6 with a VIP carnival for children and adults with special

trants. Carnival games, a kids’ area, live dance and band performances and an adult and teen party complete the day. Sept. 8 begins with the Spokes of Hope bike race and a community worship service, and ends with the Miss Outstanding Teen pageant. There will be an unlimited ride $15 wristband available.

“This is typically ranked as the most fun event every year in Zionsville,” Reinhart said.

“We cater to all ages. We like to have something for everyone, for the young children, for the teenagers, and the adults. It’s a great opportunity to experience the community of Zionsville.”

The Basics

The kids’ area will include face painting, counce houses, and other fun activities.

Recovery moving in right direction Commentary by Jim Litten

317-842-2228

Great cars, Great prices!

With 2,457 sales in July in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 19.4 percent compared to this time period last year, according to statistics comreal estate piled by F.C. Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, July 2013 home sales fell 0.3 percent compared to July 2012, a slight decrease of seven homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Four counties reported increased sales compared to July 2012.

Specifically in Hamilton County, home sales for the first seven months of 2013 rose 22.3 percent compared to the same time last year.

Year to date, Hamilton County home sales soared to 4,280 – an increase of 781 homes from the same time last year.

Despite the gain in sales in Hamilton County, Carmel experienced a decrease in pended home sales. In July 2013, 158 homes pended – down 13 homes compared to July 2012.

Home prices slipped slightly in Carmel. In July 2013, the average home cost $329,732 – a de-

crease of $9,808 from July 2012.

Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 18 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 59 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 45 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 27 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and seven were priced at $99,999 or less.

Inventory continues to tighten. In July 2013, 600 homes were available for sale in Carmel. In July 2012, 737 homes were on the market.

It’s common for home sales to slow a bit as we move into the second half of the year. Even though pended sales in some areas pulled back slightly in July, the average home price in Central Indiana continued to climb. With competitive prices and shrinking inventory, we believe our housing recovery will continue to move in the right direction.

Meeting the needs not enough Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Years ago, there were only two primary methods for growing your business – advertise and hire a sales force. move the needle Today, the rules have changed.

In 2013, your ability to expand market share is limited only by your imagination and effort.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that if it’s easy for you, it’s also easy for everyone else. The unfortunate result is a cluttered marketplace filled with thousands of messages coming from all directions – Facebook, Twitter, banner advertising, QR codes, etc. It seems impossible to avoid the non-stop marketing assault.

This has a led to a daunting challenge - How do you break through all the noise?

It’s not easy, but it can be done.

The key to succeeding under these new rules is to train a new sales force – your customers.

Because we are overloaded with information, we ignore most advertising. Instead, when we are looking to make a purchase, we turn to one

place for a recommendation – a past customer.

This can happen in a variety of ways. You might choose to ask a friend about their experience, check online customer reviews, or simply request an opinion from your Facebook friends.

As a result, it’s no longer acceptable to simply meet the needs of your customers. You need to exceed their every expectation and create a raving fan each time they engage your company.

While creating raving fans is different for every business, here’s a few universal tactics to get you started.

Thank every customer for their business.

Systematize your processes so that the same service gets delivered every time.

Ask them for feedback.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

A few years ago I was in a really difficult season of life. I was struggling with a few situations at work and was wearing Spirituality out quickly. I had already started looking for another job but nothing came through. I felt more than stuck—I felt trapped. So I decided to do what many do—I prayed. I asked God to open another door. Didn’t happen. I asked God to move someone else on. Didn’t happen. I asked God over and over again to engage…and heaven was silent.

Have you ever felt that way? Maybe for you it was something much more serious, an addiction or illness.

My spiritual barometer like most others was so entwined in my socioeconomic health that I defined my spiritual health by it. If I was doing well at work, home, even physically healthy, God was blessing! If I wasn’t doing well in these areas, I needed divine intervention from God to fix it! Even the definition of “health” is subjective.

As we pursue spiritual formation we cannot forget that the purpose is the development of what is eternal. There is a heart that is to be formed. Ultimate blessing isn’t about getting rich or living to be 100 years old. We cannot let our material, physical or social status be a direct reflection of our spiritual progress. The discipline must be pervasive enough to transcend our circumstances.

So hear me out. If you are going through a tough time and it causes you to pray, it could be good, or the silence of heaven that causes patience may be a part of the forming process too. Sometimes the searching appears to point in the wrong direction for a few years. Who’s to say God isn’t using that? Formation by nature isn’t easy, and usually isn’t quick.

Maybe the difficulty you are facing now has the potential to produce something good in you, if you will let it. The loss of temporal things, social status, even health could be forming something eternal in you and this could be your greatest blessing.

How do you learn patience without being in situations that force you to wait?

How do you learn sacrificial love unless you are in situations that require difficult love?

How do you learn the practice of peace unless you are in situations where peace seems elusive?

How do you learn the meaning and power of the covenants in marriage until it is difficult to hold to them?

Just maybe sometimes the silence is actually speaking something. Listen closely.

Landscape

Jaipur, a walled city of about three million people in northwest India, was founded in 1727

by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It travel has been known as the “pink city” since 1876, when buildings were painted pink to welcome Prince Edward (later King Edward VII). Jaipur’s most famous pink building, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), has an intricate sandstone façade representing the crown of Krishna, a Hindu god often given the title of Gopala, the Protector of Cows. The cows protected by Krishna wander in and along Jaipur’s unusually broad streets, reflecting the Hindu conception of the divine. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The central fact of Hinduism is cow protection.”

Hindus, constituting about 80 percent of India’s population, believe that all sentient beings are animated by an essence called “Atman,” a name related to the English word “atmosphere.”

They also believe the eternal Atman is indistinguishable from Brahman, the transcendent reality underlying all the traditional Hindu gods.

As a result, most Hindus are vegetarians and see killing or even corralling animals in the same way they would see doing the same thing to a person or to a god. So, not only do cows roam freely in Indian cities, but so do monkeys and other animals.

Indians revere their cows more than the other

Cows and people wandering in Jaipur.

animals in their streets because of what cows provide. During its life, a cow provides milk for families, dung for fire and fertilizer and muscles for farms, all without complaint. Upon its natural death, a cow provides skin for shoes and bones for buttons. So important is the cow to the Indian way of life that its name “gau mata” means “mother cow” and ancient Hindu texts refer to the cow as the mother of civilization.

In the crowded streets of Jaipur and other Indian cities, cows block traffic, cause accidents

and create chaos in the markets. But efforts to curb their freedom even a little are met with protests. So the cows continue to roam, presenting a living illustration of the Hindu belief that the divine resides in all creatures, great and small.

Decorating rich: You, too, can do this

Commentary by Vicky Earley

You have seen these houses; they appear on the front of Elegant Living Magazine and are plastered all over Houzz. decorating They are the lovely homes that exude graciousness… and lots and lots of money.

Sometimes they are the homes of celebrities or software developers but sometimes they are the homes of real people who simply did decorating “right.”

There are tangible differences between the house that just happens and the one that is carefully sculpted into a piece of art.

The home that looks complete will be accomplished through a planned process and, with the exception of periodic updates, will be left to enjoy.

This will sound harsh to those who just love to shop. My best advice is to decorate once and do it right. After that, focus on shoes or sweaters for the shopping fix.

Rich looking homes do have features that set them apart. Drapery is typically full, lined and interlined. It touches the floor or puddles. It does not come out of a plastic bag. Rich homes will take drapery well beyond the top of the window… to the ceiling in some cases.

Most rich looking homes will have wood floors.

Wall to wall carpet can never look as warm and inviting as wood.

since the necessary yardage is far less than anything else in your home.

Use patterns judiciously to achieve a richer look. Texture is a subtle element that sets a rich looking room apart from a so-so house.

Loose the builder grade lighting. Splurge on one fabulous chandelier for the dining area or foyer. It will set the tone for the rest of the lighting in the home.

Try painting doors black. It elevates them to new importance.

Loose the clutter. Any item that is visible should be a part of the overall design plan.

Beef up your molding. If crown molding is already in place, you can give it the illusion of being far grander by simply adding a strip four to six inches down and painting it all the same.

Take a room and paint it a deep dark chocolate or indigo. Light color furnishing and art will explode in such a room.

Remember, the homes that look as if they belong to the wealthiest among us are treated as planned project with a start and a finish to the vision. Certainly, such homes can evolve but there is a calm luxury in living life in a home that is not in a constant state of incompletion.

Accent pillows are important to a rich look.

Eighteen-inch polyester pillows just don’t cut it so consider this an opportunity to splurge. Use pillows that are oversized and filled with down.

This is a great place to use an incredible textile

Consulting with a professional, rather than trying to alter your hair color alone, will ensure that you achieve the look you are going for! Book an appointment at Salon 01 now and update your look for the new season!

BRIGHTER DAYS This fall, keep your little black dress hanging in the closet and opt for a brighter shade for your event instead! Teal, Papaya and Amethyst are in! Choose any one of these bold colors to update your look this season.

Whether you opt for a little flash of color with a large cuff, or get decked out from head to toe in one of these bold hues, you are sure to win with these eye-popping colors. Wear a silk dress in one of these jeweled tones with black pumps and metallic jewelry to really complete your look.

YOUR WEDDING ‘DO Are you are agonizing over how to wear your hair on your big day? It is one of the most important days of your life, and it is vital to look and feel your best! Deciding on the perfect hairstyle requires some thought, so consider these tips when finalizing your ‘do plan.

1. Talk to your stylist. Several months before your big day, get professional tips on what to do to get (and keep) your hair in the best shape possible. If you are thinking about a drastic change in hair color or style, it is best to try it out many months before your wedding day.

2. Plan early. If you have short hair or bangs you would like to grow out,

S a l o n

begin the process immediately. It takes short hair many months to reach shoulder length or longer, which is ideal for many up-do styles.

3. Consider your dress style.

During the consultation with your stylist, make sure they understand the neckline and style of your dress.

This will help decide which style might be best for you. Bring in a picture of your dress if you have one available.

With careful consideration and open dialogue with a professional stylist, you will ensure that the end result will be one you love! You will gain joy looking back over your wedding photos for years to come.

Master bath remodel: Updating 1990s materials

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING MASTER BATH: Built in 1999, this home located in the Lynnwood at Plum Creek neighborhood in Carmel blueprint for does not improvement look its age.

However, as the second owners, these homeowners knew they would remodel the master bathroom. “When we bought, we loved the house and the location,” stated one of the homeowners. “However, the master bath was very pink and dated, so we planned to change it right from the start.”

DESIGN PROCESS: “The original bathroom was done with builder grade materials,” said one of the owners. “The tub was bigger than the shower, and was not a good use of space. We had a big, beautiful bathroom space with vaulted ceilings, but we did not like the style or functionality. You use your bathroom every day, and we wanted to create a space we liked.”

ENLARGED SHOWER: Enlarging the shower was the top priority for the new design. According to one of the owners,“The old shower was so small it was annoying and difficult to use. We wanted a shower like the one we had in our last house, with double shower heads and a corner seat. A big shower works well for us.” Relocat-

Before ing the expanded shower to an existing corner opposite the double-door entry made it a focal point for the space. A frameless glass door in the arched doorway highlights the uniquely-textured white wall tiles and the granite seat.

INCREASED STORAGE: The homeowners knew what they wanted for storage as well. “I was looking for more than a linen closet in the bathroom,” stated the homeowners. The cabinetry next to the shower has space for towels, but also serves as storage for accessories like scarves, hats and purses.

FINAL RESULT: The final result was pleasing.

“We were looking for our bathroom to feel like an upscale spa in a luxurious hotel. Working in collaboration with our designer using 3-D modeling

After software helped us see the final product before it was built. It was helpful to see the scale of each part. We love the new space. The Tiffany box-inspired colors gave us the clean look we wanted, and the light fixture is the perfect jewelry for the room.”
