City council regulates use of drones

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Unmanned aircraft systems, commonly called drones, have grown in popularity and are being used more frequently by ordinance private citizens for business and hobbies. These remotecontrolled flying machines can fly over a crowd and take photos or video.

The Carmel City Council has passed new rules

regulating the use of these devices at public events. The ordinance states that the city has the right to regulate “property that might endanger the public health, safety or welfare” and prohibit “the recording of images or data of any kind on the private property of another person.”

The city will require all drone operators receive approval before flying an unmanned aircraft system within 500 yards of, or anywhere above, an event. Law enforcement can also ban

drones if there is reasonable suspicion of immediate danger of death or serious injury to any person.

The ordinance provides exceptions, such as locating a lost child or taking a photo of an event with permission from the event organizer. Other exceptions exist compliant with federal laws.

The penalty shall not exceed $500 for violations. The drone can be impounded for no more than seven days.

Brooks examines policing issues

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a new member of a bipartisan policing strategy group in Congress, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN05) wanted to ensafety gage with the law enforcement communities from the eight counties she represents.

With that in mind, Brooks recently met with several members of law enforcement departments at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

“There are about 12 members of Congress (in the group) who are looking and talking about what Congress’ role is in helping our communities as we have seen so many difficult situations erupt, whether it’s Baltimore, it’s Ferguson (Mo.), Dallas or Baton Rouge,” Brooks said.

Brooks said she learned most of the departments she met with either use or are considering using body cameras. Brooks said it is important because so many citizens are taking photos with their phones of happenings that may not always show the entire incident.

“The body cameras are providing that accountability not only for the law enforcement but for the citizens,” Brooks said. “I’ve learned a lot of citizens might complain about something but when they then see what happened

on that camera, whether it’s on the car or (officer), they are seeing the complaints will diminish or will go away. Far more often than not, law enforcement is doing the right thing in executing the stop or the arrest.”

Brooks said in her communities there has been an increase in violence against police officers, primarily in Indianapolis.

“It’s causing hiring problems in our departments,” Brooks said. “A lot of people who have contemplated law enforcement in the past are not going into law enforcement now, and that’s a big concern of all these departments.”

Obituary: Shane Anthony Needham

People of many faiths gathered to help clean the Monon Trail Sept. 10 and 11. (Submitted photo)

Carmel Interfaith Alliance organizes cleanup of Monon Trail news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Interfaith Alliance organized an opportunity for people of all faith traditions to come together to clean giving back the Monon Trail Sept.

10 and 11. The second day of the cleanup concluded with a Service of Celebration at Central Park. More than 130 people from the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Christian Scientist, Mormon, Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Protestant faith communities participated.

“Fifteen years ago on Sept. 11 there were terrorists who wanted to divide our country along religious lines, and we wanted to remember that there were people from 90 countries of many faiths that were killed,” said Jerry Zehr, pastor of Carmel Christian Church and an organizer of the event. “We wanted to be a witness that the faith communities of Carmel join together as people of one God and one country. It was inspiring to see young people and adults from different racial, cultural and faith backgrounds working together to clean up part of our city.”

Shane Anthony Needham, 41, of Carmel passed away at home from natural causes Aug. 19. He was born Oct. 5, 1974, in Noblesville.

Shane was good-hearted and loved his children and family. He enjoyed working on cars, riding motorcycles and watching NASCAR (especially Needham Dale Earnhardt Jr).

He is survived by his father, Jack Eugene (Janet) Needham Jr; mother, Sherry Lee Ward (Bob) Wilkey; wife, Becky Needham; two daughters, Shelby Lynn (Cody) Faulkner and Brittany Nicole Needham; siblings, David Needham, Jennifer Palmeri, Don (Jen) Abbott, Michelle Wilkey, Robbie (Audra) Wilkey and T.J.

Empty-nester homes proposed

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Jackson’s Grant Real Estate is proposing 44 new empty nester homes on 9.77 acres at 11922 Spring Mill Rd. in Carmel. development This is a small subsection of the Village Neighborhood sub-area and falls into the planned unit development of Silvara, according to documents from the Carmel Plan Commission.

When the Silvara development was originally approved, plans allowed for a density of 3.25 units per acre in this part of the development, but the company is requesting to build

with a density of 4.5 units per acre. The proposal does meet standards for lot coverage and front yard setback but requires waivers for side yard size, driveway length, rear yard setback and number of windows required for the exterior facade.

The developer also wants a waiver from the requirement that every property be served by a publicly dedicated street. The developer told city planners that this is to make the neighborhood more private and to have a similar feel as an apartment or townhome-style development. There are, however, two points of access for the properties.

Shoe collection – St. Mark’s United Methodist Church is hosting a shoe collection drive from now until Oct. 2. Donations of all styles of new and gently worn shoes in child to adult sizes will be forwarded to Changing Footprints, a local nonprofit organization, for distribution to individuals, organizations and agencies wherever there is a need.

CCHS seeking items for exhibit

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Historical Society wants the public’s help for its My History exhibit.

The exhibit began earlier history this summer, but now CCHS is reaching beyond its membership for items to display.

“This history belongs to everyone, and we thought it was a great idea for people that are closest to the artifacts to tell the story of the artifacts,” said Katherine Dill, CCHS grant manager and former executive director. “So we invite them to bring in their pieces of history, and we can use their words to tell the story. They can talk to the staff member who is there and they can take some notes about the objects. We can make some labels about those items and include them in the exhibit.”

The exhibit will continue on weekends through Oct. 30. All items will be returned the week of Oct. 31.

“One piece that is remarkably interesting is a circular harness that would go around the horse that was pulling the wagon, and they put a mirror behind it,” Dill said. “Another collection of things are old glass bottles from the turn of the 19th century into the 20th century that were found when they were renovating

the property. All these bottles kept popping out of the ground because in the 1800s, people used their yard for garbage. Spinning wheels, even just photographs of the family home or a stereo someone used as a kid. Anything that tells a story.”

Dill said there are already some items on display from the public, but most are from the CCHS members.

The hours for bringing in items for display are 9 a.m. to noon Mondays and Tuesdays and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays or by appointment.

Objects should be brought to the CCHS, 211 1st St. SW. For questions, call CCHS at 317-846-7117.

Quilter shares skills in Kenya

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Lynn Summers is an accomplished quilter and instructor. Last month, she was able to share those skills as part giving back of a mission to Kenya.

The Carmel resident visited a branch of the Family Preservation Initiative under AMPATH (Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare) program. The branch is called Imani Workshops with the focus of teaching high-quality crafts to those who are HIV positive or have AIDS to generate revenue.

“It’s designed to give HIV positive women an opportunity to earn income through their skills,” Summers said.

The two-week workshop was in Eldoret in western Kenya. Summers was one of three women teaching three Kenyan women the art of appliqué and quilting.

“They will sell at the workshops, at the resorts in the area and through Global Gifts stores,” said Summers, adding there is a Global Gifts store in Nora Plaza in Indianapolis.

“I’ll be sending them more things to learn that they can easily do on their own.”

Summers said she will do that by mail or send it with the next group to make the mission trip.

From left, Kenyan women Beatrice, Emily and Penny learn from Lynn Summers during an Imani Workshop. (Submitted photo)

“They learned so fast and they were so eager to learn,” Summers said. “It was overwhelming how well it was received.”

Summers, who has lived in Carmel for 11 years after moving from Massachusetts, has been quilting for more than 20 years. She is an instructor at Quilt Quarters in Carmel Summers heard about the opportunity from Lea Anne Einterz, the wife of Dr. Robert Einterz, director of the AMPATH Consortium and director of Indiana University Center for Global Health. Lea Anne, a Zionsville resident, is one of Summers’ students in her quilting classes.

The Carmel Chapter of DeMolay was reinstated three years ago, adding to approximately 20 other chapachievement ters across the state.

Recently, the Carmel group won 17 medals at Indiana’s DeMolay Conclave, a three-day competition in Huntington, Ind. The group placed second overall.

“We are a fraternity youth organization for young men ages 12 to 21, and we focus on leadership, scholastics, activity and development,” Chapter Advisor Eric Blake said. “Like community service, that type of activity (is what we engage in) for the development of young men. We have all types of young men join us.”

Competition areas include speech, athletic events, leadership and development courses and more. The Carmel DeMolays brought only five men from its group, whereas most organizations bring 10 to 15.

“They really performed at a high level that really speaks to the well-roundedness of the five men who attended the statewide meeting,” Blake said.

The five men who attended the competition were Joe Blake, Mason Marshall, Jacob

Monninger, Luke Schofield and Garrett Rose. Chapter Sweetheart Marissa Marshall also attended.

Rose received special recognition. A recent Carmel High School graduate, he received the Grant-Hamill Foundation Scholarship and the Murat Shrine’s DeMolay Unit Scholarship.

Joe Blake, Eric’s son, brought home nine medals, including State Athlete of the Year.

Joe is a junior at CHS and a member of the track team.

The DeMolays meet at the Carmel Masonic Lodge twice a month. For more, visit the Carmel DeMolay Facebook page.

Ready for some football

m a k in g sense Trump? Or Hillary?

Or whom, exactly?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Michael Reagan An already depressing campaign is getting worse every day. No matter who wins in November, we’re going to end up with a president that half the nation hates and the other half didn’t really want to win. We have Hillary the Crooked still trying to lie her way out of her email crimes like a cheap lawyer.

We have Trump the Unqualified still talking in gibberish about grabbing Iraq’s oil, claiming he knows more about ISIS than the generals and trading air-kisses with Vladimir Putin.

We even had Gary Johnson the Pot Head flying his Libertarian Party’s campaign plane into a cliff with his already famous “What is Aleppo?” response. So who’s left to vote for, Jill Stein, the mad doctor of the Green Party?

It’s sad to say, but Trump is still our best choice among the worst candidates. For both The Donald and The Hillary, this election is no longer about gaining voters for their candidacy. It’s all about suppressing the other one’s voters. Whoever can get the other one’s supporters to stay home on Election Day wins.

If Trump is going to win in the end, it might also be because of what Citizens United and Judicial Watch do. The two conservative groups, which have used lawsuits and Freedom of Information requests to get the state department to release Clinton’s emails, have caused Hillary much more trouble. There will be more emails coming because of Citizens United and Judicial Watch, plus whatever October surprises WikiLeaks and Julian Assange have coming. The email dumps might very well suppress the voting for Hillary, which, let’s face it, is the only way Trump can win.

Web profiler Commentary by Terry Anker Has the World Wide Web become all too clever at profiling us? With each missive entered on our trusty search engine, the algorithms noting our interests and inquiries become more adroit at delivering products that are, or ought to be, for us. Like a somewhat cloudy mirror, it reflects a hazy, if roughly accurate, countenance. But can we expect the internet to give us legitimate insight to ourselves?

As we are provoked by the banner ads that accompany our electronic morning papers, we come to note the customized nature of the wares – how the web merchants see us. “You enjoy shoes.” “You like to travel.”

“You will spend too much to get a unique bourbon!” They size us up from safe distance with remarkable accuracy. Generally, we relish the personal shopper that delivers goods and services that correspond to our desires, needs and wishes.

But then, there are the parts of our would-

be internet outline that are a bit more jarring.

Who has decided that we might have need for vitamins aimed at the over-50 set or familysized minivans to replace our sporty coupes?

Do they know something about us that we don’t? Perhaps more importantly, where do they get off telling us – plus, with whom else are they speaking?

At the end of the day, the marketers are providing us with a decent value-add. We are introduced to all manner of product, place, and person that might enhance or enrich our lives. Is the sacrifice of privacy worth it? Pandora has been released from her box and it is unlikely that our web anonymity will soon return. So for now, I’m searching for things only hoping to convince my net-profiler that I’m cooler than he thinks!

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Courage is grace under pressure.

– Ernest Hemingway

Heads up, people. Football season is on, and this dance mom has finally wormed her way into an all-guy fanhumor tasy league. Do I know what I’m doing? No. Other than Eli Manning, I’ve actually never even heard of anyone on my team. Do I understand when to start a TE over a WR or an RB? Nope, but I know I need to start two to three each week. Am I going to let any of this stop me from dominating a bunch of beer-guzzling man-children? Bells to the no! I recognize the incredible responsibility I now hold as I represent women everywhere. I promise, I will not fail!

Well, I might. One of my quarterbacks already blew his ACL and is out for the season. I somehow drafted three Colts players, which will make establishing a lineup on their bye week a bit challenging. And I truly have little to no knowledge of the strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!).

I do have an awesome name, though, ‘A Girl Has No Name,’ (Game of Thrones fans, you’re welcome!) which is half the battle, and the help of my football-fanatic teenage son, who dutifully scans my lineup every week to make sure I didn’t start a player on a bye week or the defense who’s up against my key offensive minions. I also have the advantages of having adopted the worst team in the league from last year, and of course, of being a girl. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress!

To wit, I’ve already won the Cool Teacher Award from several students, who have quietly nodded their approval after scanning the copy of my roster posted in my classroom. Unpredictably, I also had a student indicate his disappointment at not making what he thought was essentially my Teacher’s Pet List. In his defense, he doesn’t follow football and I did just label it “My Fantasy Team.”

So here’s to a victorious football season. For me, and women everywhere!

Peace out.

Cramping my style Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

THANK

YOU!

FOR YOUR SUPPORT ROUNDABOUT CONSTRUCTION

160 E. CARMEL DRIVE 317.843.9900

I have leg cramps. In the middle of the night, I jump out of bed screaming, brace myself against the side of the humor headboard and push down on the ball of my foot, which shakes the entire room. One night, I almost woke up my wife.

Recently, I shared an elevator ride with an old friend, who asked how I was. “I’m OK, Joel, but at night, I get…”

“Don’t tell me — leg cramps. Here’s what I recommend: vitamin E, three times a day.

Works like a miracle.”

I’m not inclined to take medical advice on the Internet, but you can learn a lot in an elevator. Just in case, I called my doctor to ask his opinion. He told me that vitamin E was not good for me because of an interaction with my cholesterol medication. Then he asked me exactly where I had heard this remedy. I told him the 14th floor of the Chase Building. He said that for my health, I should start taking the stairs.

The next week, in the same elevator, I ran into another old pal. “Hey, Dick, word is out you are having leg cramps.”

The kids are back in school.

Now it’s time to focus on you!

“Wow, Arnold, word sure travels up and down fast in this building.”

“My dad had leg cramps, so he drank a gin and tonic every night before bed — and it worked.”

“What did the trick, the gin or the tonic?”

“Who cares?”

Health websites say that gin may help you forget your pain, but it’s the quinine in the tonic that prevents the cramps. For two weeks, I drank a bottle of tonic water before bed. It didn’t help, so now I’m considering the therapeutic benefits of straight Tanqueray.

Recently, I was in Macy’s and saw another old friend, who had this suggestion: “Dick, this sounds really odd, but if you put a bar of soap under the fitted sheet of your bed, you’ll never have legs cramps again.”

Normally, I’d have ignored this totally crazy idea, but I have to tell you ... you can get some really good advice on an escalator.

Constitution comes to life Editor, On Sept. 21 through Sept. 23, an historic event will take place in Williamsburg, Va., that is going to demonstrate to the nation that “We The People,” through our state legislatures, have the power to stop the overreach of the federal government. The Convention of States Project is conducting a Simulated Article V Convention for proposing amendments, and commissioners from all 50 states will be drafting, debating and voting on amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and place term limits on federal officials and members of Congress. Indiana will be represented by Sen. Travis Holdman, Sen. Brandt Hershman and Rep. Ben Smaltz.

Watch it live Sept. 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. by registering at conventionofstates.com/livestreamrsvp or Text ARTICLEV to 68398. This will be a great opportunity for schools to show our children how the Framers intended us to use the Constitution to correct the problems we face as a nation.

Autism Walk returns Sept. 24

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Answers for Autism was founded 17 years ago by parents with children on the autism spectrum. The 16th anFundraiser nual Answers for Autism Walk, the group’s largest fundraiser, is planned for the end of this month.

“We get anywhere between 800 and 1,000 people. It’s more like a festival than just a walk,” Vice President and Walk Coordinator Patty Reed said. “We have bounce houses.

We have an auction. We have a big tent of activities for the children. It’s a big festival for individuals with autism in mind so all the activities are geared toward children on the spectrum since most of us are parents. The money we raise we give out through grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Indiana that serve individuals with autism.”

Through the years, Answers for Autism has provided $580,000 to programs that include summer camps, job training, sensory rooms in schools, speakers and Project Lifesaver.

“Project Lifesaver is the largest single project we have funded,” Reed said. “It provides bracelets for individuals with autism who tend to wander, so they (can be found) very easily.

Patty Reed displays an Answers for Atusitm Walk T-shirt.

(Submitted photo)

That’s a big issue of kids with autism, wandering away and getting lost.”

There will be face painting, a rock climbing wall, refreshments, music and a one-mile walk. The event is set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept.

24 at Coxhall Gardens, 2000 W. 116th St. The walk is stroller- and wheelchair-friendly. Other than service animals, no pets are allowed.

Carmel International Arts Festival returns as a nonprofit organization

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Carmel International Arts Festival will line the streets of the Arts & Design District Sept. 24 and 25, and among its many changes is that it’s now a nonprofit organization. cover story Publicity Chair Lynda Pitz said organizers saw the value of becoming a 501(c)3 four years ago, but the process took longer than expected.

“It is a difficult, time-consuming process, and we are all volunteers, so it took a while to do the paperwork and get that designation,” she said. “We wanted the 501(c)3 because it gives our sponsors more value, where they get a tax break for sponsoring the event. And we are dedicated to educating, and being a 501(c)3 designates that.”

More than 130 artists will display different mediums of art, including watercolors, oils, jewelry, 3D traditional, print making and more. Some booths will educate visitors on Japanese or Chinese culture. Carmel’s sister cities are Kawachinagano, Japan, and Xiangyang, China.

The CIAF will also include: Scholarships Previously, there had been scholarships for Best of Show in the

The entryway was donated and built by Japanese residents, and the waterfall, Japanese bridge, benches and koi fish were donated as well.

To honor the partnership between the two cities, Kawachinagano will have a booth at the Carmel International Arts Festival. However, since artists from Kawachinagano were unable to make it this year, there will be local Japanese artists at the booth to describe the culture.

“The interaction between the two cities’ citizens helps us realize how much we are alike. Local Japanese people in the area will be in the booth demonstrating various activities and a display of children’s art that has been sent from Kawachinagano,” Carmel Sister City Organization President Barb Mosier said.

Edwards brings ‘Sunshine’ to city

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jonathan Edwards’ biggest hit came from his debut album in 1971. “Sunshine” was written as a Vietnam War protest song, concerts but still resonates today, Edwards said.

“Nothing has changed but the date,” said Edwards, who will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 23 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave., Carmel. “I’ve got a friend who is steeped in history and he says we’re going through the same things we went through hundreds of years ago. The same sort of division, animosity and conflict.”

“Sunshine” has been covered by other artists and is part of the soundtrack for the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”

“It’s meant a lot to a lot of people,” Edwards said. “Whenever I think about taking it out of the setlist or giving it a rest, it’s met with protest. I keep it in the show and I love doing it.”

Along with “Sunshine,” Edwards, 70, will perform new songs and old favorites.

“I lean pretty heavily on the first album because it sold a lot of records” he said. “It was iconic in a lot of people’s lives and I’m respectful and grateful for that.”

His first album also included fan favorites such as “Shanty,” “Emma,” and “Sometimes.”

Edwards is touring in support of his latest album “Tomorrow’s Child,” released in 2015. Joining Edwards as backing vocals on the latest album are Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, John Cowan and Shawn Colvin.

Edwards, who lives in Portland, Maine, said he seldom gets to tour in the Midwest.

“I love it out (east), but I also love traveling to the Midwest, and I have a lot of friends and fans there.”

Ceili Band returns from Ireland

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Madeleine Willard had never traveled to Ireland before, but last month she spent a week there with the six other members music of the Indianapolis Ceili Band, which competed in the All Ireland traditional music festival.

The 2013 Carmel High School graduate and the band qualified for the competition by placing second at the Irish Music Fest in Cincinnati. Two bands from New York also traveled to Ireland for the competition.

“We were (in Ireland) for a week. We would practice every morning for an hour and a half until lunch, and we would all eat together and (then) everyone go their own way and explore wherever we wanted to go,” Willard said.

“Every night we would get together and play sessions with local bands at pubs.”

Willard has been a fiddler for the Indianapolis Ceili Band for three years. She won the Young Fiddler Award at the Indiana Fiddler’s Gathering in 2012.

“We didn’t end up playing until 11 at night (at the Senior Ceili Band competition,)” she said. “We were 18th to go out of 20-something bands, so it was a lot of waiting around to get on and play, and you could only be on the

stage for 10 minutes because of the guidelines. So getting up there and playing was crazy because it was in front of way more people than I had played for before.”

The week-long festival drew an estimated 60,000 people.

Judges only placed bands that finished first, second or third, but Willard said the band will receive a scoresheet in the coming weeks to see how it performed.

The Indianapolis Ceili Band was founded in 2009, and it includes 10 members. The band performs at concerts, weddings and Ceili – traditional Irish dance and music parties.

No setlist for guitarist Kottke

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Leo Kottke doesn’t worry about keeping a setlist to follow.

Each concert takes on warehouse a life of its own.

“Yeah, they vary,” Kottke said of the songs he performs at concerts. “I do just get lost and try to find my way through. I enjoy it. I like to be surprised by the music.”

Kottke, an acoustic guitar player who is known for his fingerpicking style, will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 25 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Ave., Carmel.

Kottke, who performs a variety of blues, jazz and folk music, is known for his rather unusual stage monologues and humor.

“I don’t really tell stories, I just start talking,” Kottke said. “Some subjects are familiar but I’d rather get lost. And I only talk so I know what to play next. Seems to work that way.”

Kottke, who often plays completely instrumental songs, has enjoyed doing vocals more in recent years.

“There’s nothing rational about performance, so it’s hard to find a reason for any part of it,” Kottke said. “Dangerous, actually, to interfere. But I ran for a while and that gave

Carmel UMC hosts concert series

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel United Methodist Church’s logo describes it as the heart of Carmel.

“We’re in the heart of the Arts music District since we’re a block away from that,” said David Morton, UMC director of music ministry.

So holding a Sacred Arts Council Music Concert Series seems fitting.

“This is our outreach to the community in the arts to try to connect and also to provide more quality entertainment,” Morton said.

The first of the eight concerts was Shannon Forsell Sept. 17. Blair Clark will perform at the next concert at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Family Life Center. Some of the concerts will be in the Family Life Center, at 621 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel. The Family Life Center will have the audience seated at tables.

“There’s more of a nightclub atmosphere, if you will,” Morton said. “Although that’s strange to say that because it is a church venue.”

Three of the concerts will be in the sanctuary.

“It will be more like a recital, more classical music for that venue,” Morton said. “There will be dessert served. It will be at the table when it’s at the Family Life Center. It’s kind of a dinner theater feel.”

“Some of them have bands and some are soloists,” Morton said of the one-hour concerts.

Morton said this year the proceeds are going for choir robes for the chancel choir and handbell choir.

“After that, we will provide funding for programs for our own church services and our music ministry,” he said. “We’re going to try to pursue corporate sponsorship to get artists to come in from New York and nationally.”

Tickets are $22 for each concert.

FOR TWO WEEKS, YOU CAN ENJOY THREE-COURSE VALUE-PRICED MENUS AT MORE THAN 45 NORTHSIDE RESTAURANTS.

NORTHSIDE NIGHTS INDY.COM

You’ve just finished a big, hearty meal, but instead of feeling full and satisfied, you crave something extra. It isn’t sandwiches or little carrot or celery sticks you yearn for, it’s a sweet dessert. But the question is, why do we hunger for sugary foods, even after a hearty tailgate meal?

Our thought, and that of many nutritionists, is that people have been trained since childhood to expect a sugary dessert after a meal.

Eating dessert in America is a time-honored tradition (and a way to bribe kids to eat their vegetables!). So your tailgaters deserve to have you continue the tradition of offering a sweet dessert after their meal.

Since most tailgaters serve dessert, we asked them, all across America, what makes for a good game day dessert. They replied saying they want something tasty and easy to eat. What that means to us is that a bar fits that bill. A bar is a cookie/cake prepared in a pan cut into squares. We feature a score of bar recipes on our site tailgatershandbook. com. Here’s one of Marie Simmons’, a columnist for Bon Appe’tite, recipes for these warmweather tailgates that will top off any meal.

Lemon love notes Batter Ingredients: 1 3/4 cup all unbleached, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 sticks unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup confectioners’ sugar sifted, 1 large egg, 1 cup flaked-sweetened coconut, 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest Ingredients Glaze: 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut Preparation: Batter — Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly butter a 9-by-13 baking pan. Sift the flour together and set them aside. In a large bowl cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until blended and gradually add the flour mixture until blended; then stir in the coconut and lemon zest.

Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan.

Cool on a wire rack and glaze the bars while they are still slightly warm.

Glaze – In a bowl, stir together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Drizzle the mixture over the bars, spreading evenly with a flexible spatula. Sprinkle the coconut on the top and cool the bars overnight in the fridge. On game day cut the bars and take them to the tailgate in the top of your food cooler.

SEP develops fitness software

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Three years ago, Software Engineering Professionals, a Carmel-based company, rewarded its employees with a trip apps to New Orleans for the company’s 25th anniversary. In conjunction with the trip, the firm set up a contest to see which group could “walk to New Orleans” first using FitBit step trackers.

Kelly Wilson, director of marketing and PR at SEP, said the staff loved competing for prizes and would walk the Monon Trail at lunch from their offices next to the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. She said some people, who had sedentary computer jobs, lost a considerable amount of weight.

Wilson said it was a fun team activity. But SEP engineers soon grew tired of adding up all the steps by hand from each person’s FitBit report — which generated an idea.

“We started to do it manually and realized, ‘Gosh, this is really a pain,’” she said. “We said maybe this is something we can build ourselves being software engineers.”

That’s when SEP created Health2Wealth.

What started as internal software is now an application sold to businesses that can track

step goals for office competitions and establish benchmarks and prizes. Health2Wealth is available in most app stores and at h2w.cc.

Wilson said SEP is letting companies use the app free for a business quarter. She said it costs $100 a year for offices with fewer than 10 employees. For 50 or fewer employees it costs is $300 a year, and for 250 or fewer employees it is $750 a year. Prices for larger companies can be negotiated.

Wilson said the idea is to make it affordable for smaller companies that want a wellness program, which not only can help reduce insurance costs but also increase employee morale.

The keystone of a vibrant community is located at the intersection of local resident and local business. Small busiviews ness is the economic engine of community life. It is an engine that provides energy and opportunity to local residences. Local businesses strive to serve their community’s needs by providing goods, services and entertainment. More importantly, they strengthen communities by delivering tax revenues to local governments which create improved education options, valued community programs and economic stability and sustain housing values. These basic ingredients improve the quality of life for many, in turn fostering residential growth: a win-win outcome for all.

This type of outcome must start, however, with a concerted effort on behalf of civic leadership to attract and support the entrepreneur at heart, individuals with the passion and the dream to enhance the lives of anyone who wishes to engage and enjoy the result of their effort. But it seems that what should be the easy civic option is often a barrier that keeps smart and confident entrepreneurs from taking the necessary steps to launch their impassioned life journey.

Local governments need to survey and identify what their citizens need, want and

desire. Then, with a demand-side model in hand, begin to build strategic relationships with entrepreneurs, supported by fast-track permitting, small business/civic forums and grant workshops/matching grants programs.

Next, we citizens must respond by making a concerted effort to participate in all that the local business community offers. It is easy to justify shopping national businesses or online outlets in an effort to save money. Yet, supporting local business efforts will yield a holistic return that will pay dividends to all.

I imagine that many, like myself, got their first job working for a small to mid-sized local business. One that was more than willing to pay it forward to the community that supported them as a starry-eyed novice who needed a significant amount of hands-on mentorship to learn how to achieve sustainable independence. Now, it’s payback time for us to them!

Through the years, I've had the pleasure of working with business leaders focused upon improving their customer experiences. Now, I think it is time to focus our collective attention on working with civic leadership to improve entrepreneurial experiences. Live long and prosper.

A gathering place Commentary by Randy Sorrell This micro view of a master project consumed four months of installation and resulted in an incredible backyard outdoors living space with all the amenities. It now serves as the families’ favorite gathering space and hosts more than its share of fun: football tailgates under the lanais fueled by the fireplace, family reunions, grilling celebrations and quiet times in the evenings.

Here are four keys that successfully fueled this beautiful project: • The homeowners’ “great eye” was matched with uncompromising tastes that inspired the design process. Old world traditions were married with updated views.

• A classic material pallet of Indiana limestone, Pennsylvania slate and mortar joints fits the home and the traditional, red brick, leafy neighborhood.

• As usual, well-planned landscaping inspires. It prompted an indescribable difference and helped gently define multiple living spaces.

• Well-planned spacious steps, planters and retaining walls served as assists in 12651 CERROMAR CT. | CARMEL, 46033

What is not seen, but easily imagined, is the “magazine cover” view of the rest of the space. Note: micro views and details matter.

Especially in your personal outdoor living space.

City of David’s Stepped Stone Structure. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Mysteries of the City of David Commentary by Don Knebel Visitors to Jerusalem often stop by what is said to be the site of the fabled palace of Biblical King David. Whether that travel is what they see is a matter of opinion.

According to the Bible, David captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites in the ninth or 10th centuries B.C. and made it the capital of a kingdom uniting the 12 tribes of Israel. People today probably imagine Jerusalem at the time as a great city, befitting their view of David’s United Monarchy. But most scholars believe that David’s Jerusalem occupied a narrow hilltop strip no more than 300-feet wide and 1,500 feet long, with a population of perhaps 2,000.

This area, called the City of David, was southeast of the hill called Mount Moriah, where King Solomon later built the first Jewish Temple.

Excavations in the City of David area began in the 19th century. In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered a 60-foot high terraced structure made of stone along the eastern side of the hill, overlooking the Kidron Val-

ley. The purpose of this structure, labeled the Stepped Stone Structure, has long been a mystery. In 2005, Dr. Eliat Mazar, an Israeli archaeologist, reported that she had found another stone structure, just as unimaginatively called the Large Stone Structure, at the top of the Stepped Stone Structure. With great fanfare, she said she had found David’s palace, founded by the Stepped Stone Structure.

Other archaeologists quickly disagreed, saying there would not be a palace in such a small “hill-country village.”

The site of Dr. Mazar’s excavations, labeled Area G, has become a popular tourist destination in Jerusalem. Guides point out that whatever the purpose of the Stepped Stone Structure, the purpose of the square stone at its lower right-hand corner, with a hole in the center, is clear.

Are you listening?

Commentary by Lorene Burkhart Do you remember when your teacher or your parents would say, “Pay attention!”? Whatever had been distracting us was immediately replaced with our full attenseniors tion, which meant that we fully listened.

Listening seems to have become a lost art, with the elderly and youngsters practicing selective listening and everyone else half-listening as we play with our phones, sending and receiving “urgent” messages.

I’ve noticed that the elderly often have difficulty comprehending information, so only a small amount actually connects. Reseachers tell us that in general we only hear about half of what we are being told and only remember about 20 percent. Now we understand why it’s important to repeat, repeat, repeat important information. When possible, having important information in large print will assist with comprehension, especially among the elderly.

Observing phone behavior in public places is almost scary.

Families out for dinner with everyone on their phone and very little conversation. Or adults on their phones and children being ignored. It must be a challenge for teachers to conduct meaningful discussions. I recently read that a law professor has banned all electronics from his classroom. He had discovered that students were watching TV shows, playing games and doing anything except taking notes (I wonder who is paying for their education).

So give yourself a listening checkup. Do you really focus on the person who is talking to you? Try looking directly at them and nodding your understanding. Both you and the speaker will benefit.
