Roundabout rules may change

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard plans to propose two laws aimed at increasing safety on the city’s roads.

Brainard told the CarCITY NEWS mel City Council during a budget workshop Sept.

17 that he wants to set speed limits in all roundabouts at 15 mph. Most roundabout intersections are surrounded by signs that advise a 15 mph speed limit, but they are not enforceable. “(Police) don’t really have any tools to work with (regarding) somebody that’s driving through a roundabout endangering other people needlessly,” Brainard said.

According to state law, enforceable traffic laws are posted on white signs, while those on yellow signs are advisory.

Carmel Police Dept. Lt. James Semester said the proposed ordinance would give officers another tool to keep the city’s streets safe.

“One of our highest priorities is community safety. A big component of our enforcement efforts focus on educating the public on the laws and expected behaviors relating to them,” he said. “Having an extra tool to start those conversations is always a good thing for us.”

Brainard also plans to propose an ordinance that would require vehicles to stop at crosswalks if a pedestrian is about to cross. State law requires a driver to stop only if the pedestrian is already in the roadway.

“Somebody has to basically play chicken with a car, and then the car is supposed to stop,” Brainard said.

The mayor said if the change is adopted, it would require a public education campaign because Carmel’s ordinance would make its traffic laws different than those in surrounding communities.

Councilor Ron Carter noted that the council previously rejected a proposal from Brainard to require turn signals be used when exiting a roundabout because of the confusion it could cause for drivers not familiar with Carmel’s unique driving laws.

“The biggest objection to that was it wouldn’t be like anywhere else in the state. No one else would know that, so we couldn’t pass that,” Carter said. “That seems to be a parallel situation.”

Brainard said the council is expected to review the proposals at a future meeting.

Solar panels coming this spring

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The City of Carmel plans to install solar panels at two sites in the spring of 2020 to save on energy costs and provide a backup source of power in an CITY NEWS emergency.

The Board of Public Works earlier this month approved a bid of more than $1.5 million to Carmel-based Solential Energy to complete the project. The panels will be installed mostly out of sight at the wastewater treatment plant at 106th Street and Gray Road and near the sanitary sewer pump station on Hazel Dell Parkway.

Carmel Utilities Director John Duffy said the panels are expected to save the city $130,000 per year in energy costs. Mayor Jim Brainard said more importantly they can power utilities during an extended power outage.

Brainard said the need for additional backup systems was evident in June when parts of the city went without power for three days after severe weather. Generators helped keep water moving through the system at that time, but major problems could occur if an outage lasted longer than avail-

able fuel, Brainard said.

“What if that (power outage) had gone on for a week or so?” Brainard said. “It becomes a life-safety issue. If you don’t have water in the towers, you don’t have any water pressure in the fire hydrants.”

The city also expects to install a battery storage system so energy from the solar panels can be used when energy costs are at their daily peak. The city is still researching battery storage systems, and that part of the project is not included in the $1.5 million bid award.

“We’ll get a decent return on our investment it appears, because electricity is billed at different rates at different times of the day when there’s demand,” Brainard said.

The city also plans to install solar panels on top of the Veterans Way and Booth Tarkington parking garages at a future date. The panels would be built on top of a canopy that would still allow cars to park on the top floor.

Brainard said he doesn’t know when those solar panels will be installed.

“We’re waiting to get the (Hotel Carmichael) finished and see what’s available in the budget,” he said. “There are a lot of unknowns at this point in construction.”

City may expand skateboard ban AVOID FOOT SURGERY

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

The Carmel City Council introduced an amendment at its Sept. 16 meeting that expands the list of places that skateboards and other wheeled toy CITY NEWS vehicles are banned.

The proposal adds Carmel Midtown, the Arts & Design District and all parking garages as places where skateboards and scooters are not allowed.

It also proposes banning them in Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation parks except on greenways, trails, multi-use paths and designated skate parks. Bicycles are not included in the ban.

“We have had reports of youth skateboarding in the Midtown garages, coming down the ramps that is incredibly dangerous to everyone involved, probably more dangerous to the skateboarder than the vehicles who cannot see them going the speed they are down the ramps,” Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky told the council, adding that the ordinance must be updated for “no skateboarding” signs to be posted in the garages.

Mestetsky said the amendments reflect areas of town redeveloped since the city last updated the ordinance. Other places already on the list include Carmel Civic Square, Carmel City Center, Rotary Plaza and Carmel Veteran’s Memorial. Violators are fined up to $100 for a first or second offense and up to $500 for subsequent violations.

Michael Klitzing, director of the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Dept., said the amendment would put into law existing rules in local parks.

Councilor Laura Campbell expressed concern about the amendments.

“I’m just really surprised, because several months ago we were talking about a smoking ordinance, and I heard concerns about people’s health,” she said. “Here, it seems we’re trying to prevent people from being physically active in these areas, and I’ve yet to see that it’s an issue.”

Councilor Ron Carter requested that the amendments specifically include electric scooters, too.

The council sent the ordinance to the Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee, which will meet at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at City Hall.

Maze honors Trent’s legacy

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tyler Trent’s courageous spirit has been honored in many unique ways.

Dull’s Tree Farm found a new way with a corn maze at its Boone CounTRIBUTE ty farm in Thorntown.

Trent, a Carmel resident and Purdue University superfan, died Jan. 1 after a battle with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.

Dull and his wife, Dana, met at Purdue and are 2012 graduates. Dull’s father, Tom, and mother, Kerry, also are Purdue graduates. They share ownership of the business and Dull serves as manager of the pumpkin harvest.

“We have been following Tyler’s story closely and had my sister-in-law go through her own cancer battle,” Dull said. “We thought this would be possibly a way to keep his story and legacy going.”

Dana’s sister, Jenae Blasdel, is in remission from brain cancer.

The Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment funds cancer research at the Purdue University Center for Cancer Research.

“We touched base with the Trent family and got their blessing on it and went from there,” Dull said.

Trent’s book, “The Upset,” will be sold at the farm with all proceeds going to his foundation. Trent co-authored the book with John Driver, with proceeds benefiting pediatric cancer research. Trent drew national attention after ESPN featured his story during the Purdue football team’s upset of No. 2 Ohio State last year.

Dull said there will be donation buckets around the farm.

“We, as a farm, are going to match up to $1,000 each weekend,” Dull said.

Three of the five weekends’ donations will go toward the Trent endowment. One weekend it will go to Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital and the other weekend to Riley Hospital for Children.

The Pumpkin Patch and maze will open Sept. 28 and run every weekend though Oct. 27. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays.

Admission is $10. Children 2 and younger are admitted free. For more, visit dullstreefarm.com.

PURDUE STUDENT GATE HONORS TRENT At Purdue’s home football opener Sept. 7, which would have been Trent’s 21st birthday, the Tyler Trent Student Gate debuted. His family attended the pregame dedication ceremony, which included Purdue President Mitch Daniels.

Purdue’s captains are now called Tyler Trent Team Captains. Coach Jeff Brohm changed the name in April to honor Trent, who served as an honorary team captain last year.

Boilermakers wide receiver Rondale Moore said both are fitting tributes.

“He was a great friend of mine and we ended up texting every day and it became a really good friendship,” Moore said. “He was a fighter and the definition of a Boilermaker.”

CCS students to speak to chamber

Treating Common Fall Sport Injuries

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The superintendents of Carmel Clay Schools and Hamilton Southeastern Schools turned their annual state EDUCATION of the school presentation to the OneZone luncheon over to the students.

Carmel High School students discussed their participation in HOSA, an organization for future health professionals, in a presentation Sept. 11.

The organization originally stood for Health Occupations Students of America but was rebranded to HOSA to encompass a larger international group.

“HOSA prepares our school and our club members to compete at the international and state-level competitions,” senior Viha Bynagari said. “It also prepares anybody interested in a career in the health field for different events and categories that would correlate to these events.”

Bynagari, a three-year member of the club and president, said the opportunity to speak in front of OneZone was special.

“We’ve already had two or three businesses that have talked to us (about opportunities),” said Bynagari, who plans to study neuroscience in college. “It’s helpful because if we can get our students working in the community, we also can bring these business professionals into our club meetings to help our club members prepare for the events.”

Three members of the CHS robotics team, TechHOUNDS, made a presentation on what the group does.

“We are personally responsible for running this group,” TechHOUNDS member Drew Sanchez said. “To manage such a large group and to allow each student to pursue their specific interests, we have divided our team into six different divisions. Each of

TechHOUNDS member Drew Sanchez addresses attendees at the Sept. 11 OneZone luncheon.

the divisions contributed to the robot or the overall operation of the team in their own unique way. They also contributed to the overall success of the team.”

The divisions include robot operations, public relations, programming/electrical, information technology and construction.

Carmel Clay Schools Supt. Michael Beresford told OneZone members several things they can do to help students.

“You can be a guest speaker,” Beresford said. “You can volunteer and help students working on a project. You can attend events. You can share your time.”

The second option is for chamber members to offer internships or externships.

The third way is to stay informed about the school district’s various aspects, such as curriculum, activities, food service and transportation.

“No. 4 is to tell others about (this presentation) and other positive experiences,” Beresford said. “The last one is to thank a teacher and thank a custodian. As a matter of fact, call the transportation office. Those guys never get anyone to thank them.”

Elizabeth Price treasures her time participating in Unified Sports.

“I love being able to do EDUCATION Unified Sports with the athletes, love being able to do something outside of school with them,” the Carmel High School junior said. “It’s something you choose to do and choose to make those relationships with the special Price needs kids. It gives them the opportunity to wear Carmel’s name across the chest in flag football, track and bocce. It gives us a way to do something with them and not for them. That’s our main goal.”

Unified Sports pairs people with (athletes) and without intellectual disabilities (partners) on the same team.

CHS recently earned recognition as an ESPN Honor Roll school. CHS completed the 10 standards of excellence in creating a nationally recognized Unified Champion School as nominated by Indiana’s Special Olympics program.

Price is one of four Champions Together co-presidents, along with senior Sophie Gates and juniors Audra Marchese and Isabel Larco.

“I’ve been involved in Unified Sports since my freshman year and I joined Champions Together my sophomore year,” Price said.

Price is one of two students from Indiana and 12 nationally named a United Ambassador for Special Olympics North America. As part of that, she attends Special Olympics student leadership conferences.

Champions Together oversees CHS Unified Sports, which includes track and field, bocce, flag football and bowling.

Champions Together is a collaborative partnership between the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics Indiana that promotes servant leadership among student-athletes. It was established in 2012 and CHS has participated each year.

Participation was so high this fall there had to be cuts in flag football.

“We had too many people wanting to participate, which is definitely not a bad thing at all,” Price said.

More than 100 participants are on the track and field team.

power to be transferred into forward motion. I think the thing I most share with others is learning that Zipp developed an aerodynamic wheel design after considering the structures on the fins of humpback whales.”

Simon said some of the most impactful lessons were how people have used physics in their life after school.

Simon said while visiting Trek and Zipp, he was fascinated to see their employees brainstorming ideas, using computer-aided design software and tooling skills. He said teamwork helped people in various roles improve the product.

“We were able to look at the bikes and see the subtle differences each rider may have, depending on their personal riding styles,” Simon said. “This would have gone unnoticed had it not been for the time with Trek and Zipp.”

Clay Middle School science teacher Sean McVey expected the biggest takeaway from his experience visiting EDUCATION bicycle shops in France would be specific to science.

“But coming out of it, I think of all the examples of seeing creative and passionate people outside of a school setting (was the takeaway),” McVey said. “I am surrounded by creative and passionate teachers and students every day at Clay Middle School, but this was a chance to see people like that in other fields, and every skill set has value at companies like Trek Bicycles and Zipp Speed Weaponry.”

McVey and fellow Clay science teacher Andy Simon received $12,000 from the Lilly Endowment Teachers Creativity Fellowship Program to meet with bicycling company engineers during the Tour de France. The teachers watched the end of the race on the Champs Elysees in Paris.

McVey said he didn’t realize that aerodynamics was the most important factor in the rider/bicycle system.

“Going in, I knew it was significant, but I thought rider power and bike weight were equally important,” McVey said. “I was also fascinated to learn that racers will often choose wider tires at lower air pressures.

That was contrary to everything I thought I knew about racing cycles. While the wider, softer tire does create more friction with the ground, it allows more of the rider’s

Turquoise tables reach county

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com

A new initiative is coming to Hamilton County that aims to foster community among residents and visitors.

Kristin Schell created the TOURISM Turquoise Table Movement in 2013 in Austin, Texas. Tables are placed strategically throughout a city as a meeting spot where people can engage in conversation and play games.

Hamilton County Tourism is responsible for making the concept local.

“We launched an initiative this year called Creative Economies,” Sarah Buckner, HCT destination development manager, stated in an email. “After speaking with artists, arts organizations and community event planners, I developed a team of arts leaders in the county. We took a trip to Minneapolis in June to the Americans for the Arts National Conference to learn about arts, community, placemaking. While exploring, we saw fun game tables. We liked that they brought people together to play a game and have a chat.”

A member of the team, Aili McGill, informed Buckner about the Turquoise Table

Movement. The two ideas were melded. The tables will offer games like Jenga, chess and checkers and will be placed in five participating communities.

“Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield each received three outdoor tables and four chairs,” Buckner said. “The board-game tops are a weather-resistant material.”

Cicero received one table.

Guilded Leaf events return

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com

ENGINEERED TO EXHILARATE & INSPIRE

THE 2019 MAZDA CX-5 SPORT FWD

The Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation Guild is bringing in seven authors in October for its annual Guilded Leaf AUTHORS Book & Author Luncheon and Writers at the Pavilion events benefiting the CCPL Foundation.

The guild is an all-female volunteer group formed in 2004 with a goal of promoting literacy and library activities, which includes almost 2,000 programs each year.

“Those women came together because they recognized there was an opportunity in the Carmel area to have an author event to bring people together who love and support literacy,” said Elizabeth Hamilton, director of the CCPL Foundation.

This year marks the 15th luncheon and the fifth Writers at the Pavilion event.

Writers at the Pavilion is a relaxed, cocktail-style event. Guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, a short auction, a wine pull and an opportunity to meet the authors. The event begins at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.

The following day, doors will open to the Book & Author Luncheon at 9:30 a.m. Guests can participate in a silent auction and raffle until 11 a.m., when the main program begins.

The guest authors are Margaret Peterson Haddix, Craig Johnson, William Kent Krueger,

Author Ben Blum signs a book for Jackie Kenley of Carmel at a previous Guilded Leaf author luncheon. (File photo)

Bryan Reardon, Karen White, Heather Webb and Sophie Perinot. Their books range in the genres of mystery, elementary, thriller and historical fiction.

“As the library has grown and changed over the last 15 years, the gals in the Guild really have paid attention to the needs of the library, so they’ve tried to focus when they bring the authors in to design a panel of authors that they feel will build the most excitement and bring the largest crowds in,” Hamilton said.

Authors will have 15 minutes to introduce themselves and discuss a recent project, followed by a meet-and-greet with guests.

The event ends at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $70 per event. For more, visit carmel.lib.in.us/foundation.

As I sat out front of Main Street Barber Shop on Sept. 11, 2019, I flashed back to 2001, when my second-oldest PLAIN TALK daughter, Ariel, was born.

It was also my first year as a barber and the date of one of America’s most tragic terrorist attacks.

I remember watching the news and talking on the phone to my buddy about the first plane hitting the towers and — suddenly — seeing the second plane coming in for the attack and thinking, “Oh, my goodness, we are under attack!” I don’t have to rehash all that has happened since then, because we are still living it through the media and our thoughts.

I step outside every morning and put up my American flag and my state of Indiana flag, with the American one at half-staff today. I look in all directions to see nothing flying but my flag and Edward Jones’ next door. Why? I’m on Main Street in Carmel, one

of the best and fastest-growing towns in the nation, but with only two flags flying.

Huh? Is the spirit of Main Street America dying, or gone, except for a few who remember and care about why I can do business freely? This is not a rant but a call-out to all business owners and homeowners to fly Old Glory! Be proud of who we are and what that flag stands for. If you’re down on your luck, give me a holler and I’ll find a way to get some bulk flags delivered in our community to fly high and proud.

My family, friends and clients are past and present members of the military, and they deserve at bare minimum to see those colors flying.

Conner Praire has unveiled two new Halloween-themed, adults-only events . (File photo)

Conner Prairie ramps up adult programming

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie Director of Public Affairs Christine DeJoy said Conner Prairie often is perceived as a destination for elementaryschool field trips. But THINGS TO DO the interactive history museum is tweaking perceptions by offering new programming for adults.

“It was always for everyone in the family, and I think (what was) happening through old marketing procedures and things like that, there was a lot of emphasis on little kids, and (Conner Prairie) was always known as a place for fourth-grade field trips,” DeJoy said. “Like, you came in fourth grade but have no idea what else Conner Prairie is.”

For many years, Conner Prairie’s young professionals group, the Horizon Council, has conducted a beer-tasting event, History on Tap, for visitors 21 and older. There also is the annual Holiday Cheers winter program, but DeJoy said there are many other programs that adults may not be aware of.

“I think, No. 1, it’s so important to remember even if you have graduated from high school or college or grad school, you never stop learning,” Program Director Kim McCann said. “That’s so important as we move into adulthood for yourself to expand your horizons. The past is not a thing that is set and done with. All the history we present is to help people bridge those connections between the past and present.”

McCann has several new programs for Conner Prairie this year, including a Chautauqua speaker series, a ghost hunt and more.

“For the first time ever, on Halloween night, we are having a public ghost hunt.

Schiller Law Offices is proud to

One of the questions we always get asked is whether or not the buildings are haunted,” she said. “They are all historical buildings. Some employees have had experiences that led them to believe there might be something paranormal going on.

We will be taking a small, limited group — a max of 36 people — and bring them to Conner Prairie on Halloween night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and give them the opportunity to spend some time and do ghost hunting in the reportedly most active (buildings) on the grounds — the Golden Eagle Inn, the Conner House, and then Judge Porter’s house out in the 1863 Civil War journey.”

The Chautauqua series is an interactive speaker experience with specific topics, part of the adult programming Conner Prairie is experimenting with this year.

“This is a new experience for us, creating adults-only programming, so this year we are dipping our toes into the pool and seeing how people react to things, see what they enjoy and what they gravitate toward, and that’s really going to inform what’s happening in 2020,” McCann said.

Artists, organizers reflect on Carmel International Arts Festival’s value to community

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

discuss how the artists produced their art, what influenced them, what they are trying to convey and how they hope to share it.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard always has been a proponent of the role arts play in bringing value to a city.

“It adds vibrancy, fun, allows people to express themselves and adds to the quality of life,” Brainard said.

The 22nd annual Carmel International Arts Festival, set for Sept. 28 and 29, is a showcase for the city’s arts scene, Brainard said.

The festival moved to the Arts & Design District in 2006.

The festival’s organizers and participants weigh in on the value art plays in shaping a community:

Mark L. Waninger, wood artist, Jamestown resident

Joan Cimino, Carmel International Arts Festival president, Carmel resident On importance of art to a community: “Art is important to me because I believe the arts are a universal language bringing together people of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. It is a means of communication that transcends words. I believe art beautifies our world, improves our minds and enables us to communicate.”

On CIAF’s role in arts scene: “The Carmel International Arts Festival was formed to bring the arts to Carmel, to introduce art in all of its forms to the citizens of Carmel and the surrounding area. This tradition of art education is continued through the festival today. CIAF gives all attendees to the festival the chance to speak with the artists, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16

On importance of art: “The influence of art in a community brings motion, movement, contour and flow. The artistic impact can be seen in the free-flowing designs of everything in our city, from the roundabouts to the architectural designs of buildings, bridges and sculptures. City planners, business owners and individual residents alike are experiencing art as an integral part of their environment. I like to be inspired, and the art in our community does that.”

On CIAF: “The Carmel International Arts Festival can be described as one of the major driving influences of art in the community. We artists help patrons feel good about themselves through the positive energy that comes from the shared beauty of our artwork. Young minds are intrigued with all of the different types of art, which will influence them for the rest of their lives.

Architects, interior designers, business professionals, builders and homeowners are all in attendance, enjoying the innovative ideas on display.”

Gavin Goode, Semperfly Studios owner, Carmel resident On importance of art: “Visual and applied arts drive a community by causing us to think and communicate with one another, Juan Velez Gabriel Lehman Amy Gunderson Doyle Borntrager Michael George Larry Spears Robin Chard Stephanie McDairmant Gayle Herrli Robbie Moriarty Brian Campbell William Ortman Barbara Rush Randy Kuntz

not to mention driving the local economy by turning unwanted spaces into thriving hot spots for people to gather. It’s a very necessary part of a community. The festival is intricate in bringing artists from other communities and introducing new ideas other than the ‘cows, pastel flowers and cornfields’ that Carmel seems to have pigeonholed itself into.”

Mark Fraley, CIAF entertainment chair, Carmel resident On impact of arts: “When most people think of art they see a painting, drawing or sculpture. They might hear singing, instruments being played or see actors on a stage. Is that the essence of what art is?

The definition of art is given as the ‘expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.’ In short, it’s a process and not a product. The importance of art is not what you can see or hear, but what is learned in the process.”

ESSAY

LETTER Brainard is ‘king of Sprawldom’

Ultimatum warriors Commentary by Terry Anker The world is filled with experts.

Many have trained for years, studied a craft and experienced much through trial and error. We look to them for insight. And then, there are the other authorities. They opine endlessly about all manner and topic. Their wisdom, it seems, is boundless. Alas, the root of this tremendous insight springs from some genetic font. They aren’t trained, or especially experienced, but they are all too willing to claim to be.

It is said that the most dangerous among us are not those who know nothing or have never read a book. Neither are those who know much and have read extensively.

The greatest risk comes from those who know something, have read one thing and have extrapolated this piece into believing they see the entire puzzle. “Name That Tune” pitted contestants on 1970s television to identify a song using as few notes as possible. Suffice it to say, a single note, other than the occasional wild guess, never could prevail – much like trying to guess the word intended here with simply the letter “t.”

Well, know-it-alls are not new to the world. But social media has fueled their intolerance. Expressing a point of view about complex global or interpersonal issues, extolling 25 or 30 words to round-out their epistle, they, like some ultimatum warrior, then lay down the gauntlet. If any reader doesn’t understand and agree summarily, then they are no longer a friend. Really? Lifelong supporters, colleagues and the folks who gave us life are dismissed in an instant. Doesn’t it all seem a little excessive (even needy)?

All hail the superhero Commentary by Danielle Wilson What a week I had, friends! I was basically a hero on two separate occasions, thanks to my keen maternal and intuitive superpowers.

My first amazing feat was HUMOR consoling a student actively vomiting in my classroom trash can while simultaneously reviewing how the Declaration of Independence was nearly defeated. I know, right? I have gifts! Oscillating between “You’re OK, get it all up” and “Remember, the South wanted no mention of slavery,” I transfixed students with my dual message: “I care for you all like you were my own kids” and “Pay attention, this is important!” Of course, it might have been the barfing that was riveting their eyes to me, but still. I was a veritable Wonder Woman of the multitask.

My second foray into the world-saving business came a few days later. I stopped to offer help after watching a car drive straight into a metal railing. As I approached the

vehicle, I saw the driver banging his steering wheel, clearly frustrated but seemingly unhurt. Another bystander and I shouted at the same time, “Are you alright?” The driver emerged from the smoking wreck, responded, “Yeah, I’m fine,” and then walked off. Just walked away. Perplexed and trusting my gut that something was wrong, I called 911 to relay the details (I make a terrible witness, BTW. The only thing I was positive about was that the car was red. Or maybe orange.

Light brown?). That afternoon, I learned the red/orange/brown automobile had been stolen! I’d sensed a crime in play and interrupted grand larceny! Ka-pow!

So sleep easy, citizens of Indy Suburbia.

You have a real hero on your side.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.”

— J.D. Salinger

Editor, I note after taking time to look at the details of Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett’s regional road funding proposal, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard again showed he’s not good with numbers (as he has admitted).

Carmel has a lower population density than both Indianapolis and, cough, Fishers.

Therefore, he is really the king of Sprawldom, despite claiming Indy is.

Also, his allusion to Sophia Square and taxes is hilarious on its face. Its taxes are TIF’d to pay for its parking garage and for (Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director) Henry Mestetsky to play SimCity, so not one cent of it pays for roads, police, fire or the social safety net. IKEA and Topgolf do pay those since they only received development fee waivers, and they pay sales taxes to boot.

I’d hate to see what twisted logic and numbers he would have used if he hadn’t taken so much time to look at the details.

And to top it off, he bashes Indianapolis but gladly took the endorsement in 2015 of the long-serving Mayor Bill Hudnut, who would at least be partly responsible for the errors of Unigov to which Brainard alludes.

Eric Morris, Carmel

Got something on my chest

Life insurance provides financial protection for your family when they will need it the most. In the event the unexpected happens, life insurance can help towards:

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Some spam messages I receive on a regular basis are for products I can’t disclose in this newspaper. However, HUMOR I started receiving unusual emails about unmentionables, and I am going to mention those: Wonderbra, Super-Lift Bra and my favorite, Bra Genie.

Why was a guy like me getting stuff like this? I tried red-flagging keywords so this type of advertising would go directly to my spam folder, but all it did was block some really good coupons for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

While discussing this issue with friends, I found it impossible to avoid immature plays on words, like: “I want to keep abreast of this problem,” or, “Who are the boobs sending me this junk?” There is nothing more alluring than easy double entendres.

I called my techie friend and told him I had this problem that was staring me smack in the face. He responded, “Dick, it sounds like you need some support.”

“Oh no, Kevin, now you’re doing it!” He couldn’t help me, so it was time to figure this out myself. Not long ago, I wrote an essay about how I was trying to get fit. I mentioned I was in relatively good shape, except that my chest needed a little development.

The column appeared in this newspaper, on Facebook, and then all the search engines. Apparently, my observation that I was unhappy with my chest found its way to brassiere makers who added me to their database of people displeased with their upper half.

As I was writing this column, I printed all the spam ads so I could reference them easily. When Mary Ellen was poking around my office, she saw the pages on my desk and assumed that either I thought she needed a Bra Genie, or I wanted to order one for myself. Neither alternative was going to lead to a conversation I wanted to have.

When I explained to Mary Ellen why I was getting spammed, I admitted I had looked at several of the bra ads. I also vowed to stop making childish puns. It was good to get all that off my chest.

Rails with trails is more practical Editor, As a central Indiana resident and chairman of the Board of Indiana Trails, I am appalled to learn there were no satisfactory bids to do a complete job of removing the Nickel Plate Railroad tracks, ties and rail spikes and then rebuild the railroad crossings impacted. Yet, the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority still voted to move forward.

There is a simple, practical answer to the situation that would actually be more beneficial to the community: Leave the tracks where they are and create a biking/ jogging/hiking/walking trail along the rightof-way of the existing tracks. That course of action would save the taxpayers the substantial expense of removing the beds and building new crossings at street and road intersections.

Plenty of evidence exists of “rails and trails” coexisting for the benefit of the communities they serve. An analysis of the existing Nickel Plate right-of-way reveals there is sufficient space for a synergistic solution that will allow the creation of the

trail and keep the railroad tracks for historic and entertainment purposes.

Trains are demonstrably popular among the people of Indiana, and the Indiana (State) Fair trains proved to be popular when they ran fairgoers from Fishers to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. A trail along the Nickel Plate would very likely prove to be appreciated by the public, and keeping the rails for their potential development as educational artifacts of our community’s history makes sense.

As a child, I remember the excitement and fun of riding the old Grand Trunk Railroad from Chicago to Flint, Mich. In recent years, I have enjoyed taking my grandchildren to ride on existing museums on rails in Indiana.

Let’s do something positive for the northeast side of our community: Develop the “rails and trails” potential of the Nickel Plate.

‘Financial gap’ delaying Kite project at 116th, Range Line

SURVIVOR

Dirt is moving on Kite Realty’s empty lot on the southwest corner of Range Line Road and 116th REDEVELOPMENT Street, but it’s not related to development of the site.

“I think they’re storing dirt. Another developer had some dirt available,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said.

In 2016, Kite unveiled plans for a $15 million to $20 million mixed-use development called The Corner on the site that would include commercial uses on the first floor and more than 200 residential units above it.

More than a year later, Kite demolished the strip mall. Since then, the land has sat vacant as the developer and the City of Carmel try to reach an agreement on the project.

“Unfortunately, there are still negotiations going on with the city at that site,” Brainard said. “There’s a financial gap we’re trying to work through with our proposed partnership.”

The mayor declined to elaborate on specifics of the gap but said it’s not un-

usual for public-private partnerships to undergo lengthy negotiations before a deal is reached.

Overall plans for the site haven’t changed much during the wait, Brainard said.

“We still want to see a gateway building, a mixed-use building with retail on the ground floor that has a parking structure hidden from view, a building comparable to others built in the city center,” he said. “(It will be) a beautiful entrance into Carmel as you’re driving down Range Line Road.”

Officials from Kite did not respond to requests for comment as of press time.

CFD supports Give A Sheet

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Fire Dept. firefighter Jim Buttler and his wife, Jama, saw the need to brighten hospital rooms DONATIONS during their late daughter Brooke’s battle with cancer.

To honor Brooke’s memory by easing other young hospital patients’ lives, the couple helps lead CFD’s efforts to collect bed sheets during the Give A Sheet campaign. Brooke, a 2016 New Palestine High School graduate, died at age 18 nearly three years ago.

CFD Public Information Officer Tim Griffin said the department collected more than 500 sheets in September 2018.

The goal is to collect 1,000 sheets during September, which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

“All of us know someone that has dealt with childhood cancer, so it’s really important,” Griffin said. “It’s important to some of our firefighters who have lost children to cancer. These kids spend so much time in these hospital rooms, having to go through

treatments. If it can be something as little as a sheet, whether it be a Marvel comic or a Disney character, something bright and colorful to help their day go a little easier, we know it makes a difference in these kids’ lives.”

Donations may be dropped off at any fire station in Carmel. The sheets are then delivered to Sheets from Home, a nonprofit.

Sheet sizes needed are twin, twin XL and crib.

Darin Bibeau started as a patron of Anthony’s Chophouse in Carmel but soon became friends with GIVING BACK owner Anthony Lazzara.

Now, they are partnering for the month of October to support breast cancer awareness.

Lazzara’s restaurant and his rooftop bar, 3UP, will donate a portion of profits from October to Sweep Away Cancer, a charity founded by Bibeau that provides grants to cancer patients to cover medical expenses, groceries and rent payments, among other items.

“The effect (of a grant) is taking the stress and the burden off someone who is already going through a traumatic time in their life that, unfortunately, cannot be controlled,” Bibeau said.

Bibeau, along with Tommy Nelms and Mark Stoner, organized Sweep Away Cancer four years ago. They each own a chimney service company and were inspired to build the charity to give back to women, who make up much of their clientele. Bibeau owns National Chimney/Natural Light, Nelms

owns Sweeps & Ladders Chimney Service and Stoner owns Ashbusters Chimney Service.

“Their charity helps the actual person,” Lazzara said. “The money doesn’t go to research, which is not tangible to the people that are being affected by it. That’s what touched me the most.”

In addition, Anthony’s will donate all proceeds from a month-long featured cocktail and ticket sales from a private dinner for 24 featuring a seven-course meal and wine donated by Williamson Wines in California.

Carmel couple’s artwork placed in Midwest Museum of American Art

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com After 27 years in the community banking world, Julie Kern was ready for a new challenge.

ARTISTS So, the longtime Carmel resident retired 13 years ago and soon began to explore her love of art.

Yet, she confessed she was shy to make the transition to becoming an artist.

“When you put that art in public, it’s like baring your soul. It’s not an easy thing to do,” Kern said.

So, she began by creating art under her childhood nickname, “Satch,” which was derived from her maiden name, Satchwill.

“I’ll hide behind the name and no one will know who it is,” she said. “After a while I got a little bolder. I could show my face and claim my work.”

Now, her work and her husband Ron Kern’s photos have been placed in the Midwest Museum of American Art in Elkhart.

Their work was donated to the museum

by Dr. Steven Conant of Indianapolis, a well-known collector of modern and contemporary fine art.

Julie Kern said being included in the museum will be “a positive spark of creativity that will carry my art forward.”

Julie Kern’s piece in the museum collection will be “Origins of Medical Practice, 2007,” a mixed media assemblage of found objects. Ron Kern will have two photographs from his New Mexico collection in the museum display.

Julie Kern’s primary medium is assemblage, putting pieces together to create artwork.

“The pieces are recycled materials, so I reuse wood, metal, paper and nails,” she said.

Julie Kern, a North Central High School graduate, has a gallery, Satch Art Space, at Circle City Industrial Park, 1125 E. Brookside Ave., Suite C14, Indianapolis. It is open for First Fridays of each month from 6 to 9 p.m., and special events and by appointment. The Kerns’ artwork also will be displayed during the Carmel International Arts Festival Sept. 28-29 at the Pair’d Fur-

nishings in the Indiana Design Center.

“They are bringing in artists to complement the furniture,” Julie Kern said.

Ron Kern said he and others have encouraged his wife to paint more.

“She painted a lot more in the first part of her career change and she sold a ton of paintings,” he said.

Ron Kern, a golf course architect, graduated from Carmel High School in 1976. His father, Gary Kern, was a civic engineer who designed subdivisions in Carmel and later became a golf course architect. Gary Kern and Bill Diddel designed Brookshire Golf Club in Carmel.

Ron Kern has been interested in photography for more than 30 years. He was

inspired by photographer David Michael Kennedy, who became a mentor. Kennedy’s photo graces Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” album cover.

“When I saw David’s photographs of New Mexico, I saw light in a way that I never saw light,” he said. “It completely opened up my mind with photography and light. There is something about how he saw and captured light that blew my mind.”

Ron Kern primarily takes photos for his own enjoyment now, occasionally exhibiting at his wife’s gallery. The couple has a collection of James Spencer Russell, an Indiana-born artist.

Ron Kern has authored a book, “Style Elegance and Wit: Rediscovering the Life and Art of James Spencer Russell,” and the couple created a website, heartofjamesspencerrussell.wordpress.com/category/ history/. Russell died in 2000.

Value-driven autumn reds Commentary by Elizabeth Morse With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather. I’ve got three WINEderlust reds for you this week and all of them can be found at Mass Ave Wine in downtown Indianapolis. I mention this because last month I had quite a few emails asking where (specifically) my suggestions could be found locally. Ask for Lisa.

First up, Juggernaut ‘Hillside’ Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a bold and structured wine from California.

Four hillside vineyards in Napa, specifically.

Vines that grow mountainside have to work harder to bear fruit. The result is grape yields that are less prolific and much more intensely flavored. Aged in French oak, this wine is luxuriously textured with lots of vanilla flavors. Oh, and the dark currants.

Big, sexy wine for a great price ($20).

Next is Southern Belle, a blend of equal parts Syrah and Monastrell. It’s made in the

south of Spain and aged in retired bourbon (Pappy Van Winkle) barrels. Although the bourbon nuances are more obvious on the nose, they are still evident on the palate.

Coupled with big fruit flavors, toffee and vanilla, it’s kind of brambly and kind of boozy at the same time. Yum. Also $20ish.

Last but certainly not least is a favorite varietal of mine: Barista Pinotage.

Pinotage from South Africa typically offers dark fruit flavors with smokiness and earthy notes. Barista doesn’t disappoint.

Charming and rustic, this one also boasts mad coffee flavors and aromas. Dare I say it? A smidge of nutmeg and leather. All for less than $15. Boom.

With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather.

Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for nearly to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade.

Bryan Duncan’s first instrument was an accordion.

“My mom gave me lessons.

CONCERT Thank God that didn’t stick,” said Duncan, the son of a pastor. “My mom played the piano, too, and my dad played guitar. He taught me bass parts for church songs. That’s what I grew up in, church music mostly. I’ve got to admit, I used to listen to James Brown late at night. As a kid I had a lot of different instruments around the church. I had an empty church stage that I could use during the week and pretend I had an audience.

“The best thing I found from singing and writing my own songs was a therapy I found in singing through my troubles and finding ways to make sense of my purpose for being here.”

The contemporary Christian musician will perform at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at First Presbyterian Church, 1207 Conner St., Noblesville.

“You can expect an easy affability from me,” Duncan said. “I don’t take myself too seriously. I usually interject humor throughout the set. I also oftentimes speak of my

faith from a personal level. As far as songs go, I try to pepper it with songs you would know from my olden days as well as songs that haven’t been recorded. I also try to cover songs you might not expect from me, doing a cover of a song my folks used to do when they were doing duets.

“For the most part, I’ll be doing songs

from the new project called ‘Shine.’”

“Shine” was released in 2019. Duncan said he has two other songs he wants audiences to hear.

“I’ve been doing them almost every concert,” he said. “One of them is called ‘I Will Shine,’ and the other is called, ‘Remember My Mother.’ Both of them will likely have a significant impact on you.’”

The 66-year-old Riverside, Calif., resident has been in the business for more than 40 years, releasing his first album in 1977 as the lead singer of the Sweet Comfort Band.

He released his first solo project, “Have Yourself Committed,” in 1985. Overall, he has released 27 records and sold more than 1 million albums. His industry awards include a Grammy and four Dove Awards, which are presented for Christian and gospel music.

As a recovering addict, Duncan creates podcasts for those struggling with addiction at radiorehab.com. He said they are encouragement for people in recovery.

Tickets may be purchased for $20 online at eventbrite.com/e/bryan-duncan-live-inconcert-tickets-68661168403 or by calling First Presbyterian Church at 317-773-2383 from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays. For more, visit bryanduncan.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville mid-century basement Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Water damage from flooding prompted the remodeling of this Zionsville basement, built in 1988 in Coventry Ridge subdivision.

THE INSPIRATION The design was inspired by the homeowner’s treasured family photos, which showed grandparents and extended family members enjoying parties in their 1950s basement.

THE SOLUTION 1. Gorgeous teal blue cabinetry provides storage at the entertainment center and bar.

2. The throwback color is accentuated by a complimentary retro-red paint above the bar. The stairs (not shown) are carpeted in red.

3. A custom, bar-height table separates the seating area from the pool table and bar.

4. The wood-panelled ceiling above the pool table wraps around the window to provide warmth and style.

5. Vintage lighting above the pool table makes a perfect period statement.

6. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of wood with the benefit of being waterand scratch-resistant.

Who are you calling an idiom?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Some people take things literally. Kleptomaniacs take things, literally.

Literalists aren’t GRAMMAR GUY fans of idioms.

Idioms are phrases with figurative meanings; they aren’t intended to be taken literally. Believe it or not, my friend, Byron, tends to take things literally; so, when I suggest we “paint the town red” on Friday night, he goes to his garage to get his paint rollers.

Idioms are designed to express a sentiment, feeling or an idea. If I said, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” I’m not claiming to be a chicken or egg farmer; instead, I’m suggesting that you shouldn’t count on something before it has come into reality. In the same way, when I say, “Curiosity killed the cat,” I’m certainly not suggesting that NASA’s Mars rover murdered a cat; I’m suggesting that it’s dangerous to be too curious.

An idiom is a type of figurative language. The point of figurative language is to make your speech or writing more impactful or effective. Other types of figurative language include euphemisms, meta-

phors, similes, hyperbole, personification and my favorite puns. In fact, idioms exist in most languages. This isn’t just another tricky English construction that makes our language hard to learn.

One of my favorite idioms is, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” While I don’t agree literally with this statement, its figurative truth holds up to scrutiny. We shouldn’t judge people at face value; instead, we should look “under the hood,” so to speak, and get to know them better before we draw any conclusions.

The only literal thing that costs an arm and a leg is going swimming with hungry sharks. As an idiom, however, something that costs “an arm and a leg” is merely incredibly expensive. The same idea goes for “robbing the cradle.” You’re not stealing a baby, but instead, when someone says this she means that you are marrying someone significantly younger than you.

Destroying Hatshepsut’s soul

Obliterated image of Hatshepsut at Karnak Temple. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Commentary by Don Knebel Hatshepsut was a female ruler of Egypt. Her successors set out to destroy not only memories of her but her very existence.

Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the daughTRAVEL ter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. Upon the death of Thutmose I, his son, Thutmose II, became pharaoh. When Thutmose II died in 1479 B.C., his 2-year-old son, Thutmose III, became pharaoh, with his aunt Hatshepsut as his regent. After a few years, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh, dressing as a man, wearing a false beard strapped around her head and engaging in a massive building program unmatched for centuries.

Hatshepsut erected four huge obelisks at Karnak, the enormous temple complex near modern Luxor, two of which were 97 feet tall, each carved from a single block of granite.

ORDER SETTING HEARING, CASE NO. 29C01-1909-MI-008653.

Notice is hereby given that Petitioner QUAPHEELAT O. ARULOGUN, pro se, filed a Verified Petition for Change of Name of Minor to change the name of minor child from ZYRAH OLUSHOLA FLEMING to ZYRAH OLUSHOLA ARULOGUN.

Any person has the right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections on or before the hearing date. The parties shall report to One Hamilton County Square Suite 337 Noblesville, In. 46060.

The application is identified as Docket No. 19060018DP The real estate affected by said application is described as follows: Parcel Number: 17-09-35-00-00-005.000 Property Address: 12166 North Meridian Street Interested parties may examine the application at the Department of Community Services,Division of Planning and Zoning, Carmel City Hall, 1 Civic Square, 3rd Floor, Carmel, Indiana.

Petitioner: Lauth Property Group

She built the Red Chapel of red quartzite to hold the barque (boat) priests used to transport the statue of the god Amun around the complex. She built the Palace of Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice and order, one wall of which included an image of Hatshepsut being anointed pharaoh by the gods.

When Hatshepsut died in about 1458 B.C., Thutmose III again became pharaoh. He destroyed the Red Chapel, replacing it with one honoring him. Believing that Hatshepsut’s soul, or ka, could survive in the afterlife in her images, Thurmose III (or perhaps his successors) destroyed or obliterated images and statues of Hatshepsut, including her image in the Palace of Ma’at. Successors removed Hatshepsut’s name from lists of pharaohs. As a result, Hatshepsut’s extraordinary reign was unknown until the 20th century, NOTICE TO BIDDERS Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received: By: Carmel Clay Schools 5201 E.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION Docket No. 19090007 SW NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Carmel Plan Commission will conduct a meeting on the 15th day of October, 2019 at 6:00 o’clock p.m., at the Carmel City Hall Council Chambers, 2nd Floor, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032, to hold a Public Hearing regarding subdivision waiver application identified by the Docket Number referenced above (the “Waiver Request”). The subject real estate consists of approximately 6.8 acres, is generally located at 1101 Rohrer Road, Carmel, Indiana and is identified by the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office as Tax Parcel Identification Numbers 17-09-24-04-10002.000, 17-09-24-04-10-001.000, 17-09-24-04-10-001.001, and 1709-24-00-00-019.001 (collectively, the “Real Estate”).

The Real Estate is zoned R-1 Residential District and the Lennar is seeking to develop a townhome community to be known as “Monon Crossing” and has filed zoning applications identified as: (i) Docket Number 19050017 Z seeking to rezone the Real Estate from its current R-1 Residential District zoning classification to the UR: Urban Residential District zoning classification; and, (ii) Docket No. 19050018 DP/PP/ADLS seeking Development Plan, Primary Plat, and ADLS approval for the “Monon Crossing” townhome community (collectively, the “Zoning Applications”).

In conjunction with the Zoning Applications, Lennar is also requesting approval of a Waiver Request pertaining to the Unified Development Ordinance, Article 7.25 E.3.A “Connectivity” (when a proposed development abuts land that has an established and existing stub street that the proposed development provide a connection to the existing stub street). To this end, a stub street exists on the northside of the Autumn Lake Subdivision (the stub street is known as “Autumn Lake Overlook”) and this stub street is adjacent to the southern boundary of the Monon Crossing Real Estate. Lennar is not proposing to construct a full street connection from its Real Estate to the Autumn Lake Overlook stub street, but instead is proposing a “gated” emergency drive connection to this stub street which will effectively address public safety and will allow an opportunity for additional tree preservation in the area around the existing stub street.

A copy of the Request that is described above and the accompanying plans are on file for examination at the Department of Community Services, Carmel City Hall, One Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032, telephone 317-571-2417.
