By next summer, hundreds of Carmel dogs could be frolicking in their very own “Bark Park” at the Monon Community Center’s Cenrecreation tral Park.

“The park board has authorized the solicitation of bids,” said Michael Klitzing, assistant director of Carmel Clay Parks. “The only thing we are waiting for now is the city’s approval of our storm water management plan. As soon as our engineers are able to get a handle on that, we will begin collecting bids for the work, and we are hoping to begin prepping the site by the end of this year.

If all goes according to plan, we’ll be open by next summer.”

Preliminary work on the site, located near the intersection of 116th Street and Range Line Road, will include demolition of three existing buildings, grading of the land and installation of the storm water management systems.

The first phase of the park will be two acres, with divided areas for large and small dogs, restrooms, parking for forty cars, a shelter with seating for dog owners, and drinking fountains for both four-legged and two-legged visitors. The “Bark Park” will be surrounded by open meadows, a picnic shelter and trails leading to the Monon.

“Clearly there is a need and a demand for this park. It’s something we’ve consistently heard strong public support for, more so even than sporting fields.

It was being talked about when I first started here, and I’ve been here for nine years,” Klitzing said.

“Just this one park may not be enough to meet the demand, but it’s a start. We could possibly add two more parks down the road, one on the east side and

The cost for membership in the Bark Park has not yet been determined, but it will be open from dawn to dusk.

Even more options for four-legged Carmel residents could soon be available, as Clay Terrace mall also recently announced that it is considering adding a dog park as well.

Memorial to honor the fallen

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Just a few feet from where one of Hamilton County’s firefighters lost his life will be a terraced memorial that honors the fundraising lives of those who have died in the line of duty.

But before the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial can pay tribute to those who put their lives on the line for others, the collective fire departments in Hamilton County must raise $275,000.

Murray Local 4416 President Tony Murray was active in the Riverwalk Committee when discussions began on the memorial. After visiting the memorials in South Bend and Elkhart, Murray knew Hamilton County needed its own tribute.

“In 2006 both departments unveiled their memorials,” he said. “It was really appealing the setting it created.”

Murray said the Riverwalk Committee was “really receptive to the idea” and Hamilton County Council member Steve Schwartz and Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger got behind the project.

“I’m not aware of any other county-wide memorials,” Murray said. “It’s really meaningful.”

Noblesville Fire Dept. Battalion Chief Michael Cook said the idea began as just a park bench but evolved into a memorial.

“We worked on it but the economy went bad.

It slowed our project down and the Riverwalk down,” he said.

The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and includes two key items: a piece of a metal beam from the World Trade Center in New York City and a sculpture of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wilson.

“We’re really happy with the design,” Cook said.

“After Sept. 11 we became aware the Port Authority in New Jersey was releasing steel beams for worthy organizations,” Murray said.

Cook said the bronze statue takes a year to create and the fund must pay a $30,000 down payment before Wilson begins its construction.

“We want to create and include a memorial for

Sept. 11, It’s such a profound event in our country’s history. We pause each year to remember,” Murray said. “We must never forget our members who gave their lives. It’s fitting to memorialize our firefighters and create a place to integrate the World Trade Center beam.”

Landscaping and tribute benches engraved with the names of the fallen will allow visitors to stop for quiet reflection. Schwartz has been with the committee for the entire journey and is excited to see the project reach this phase.

“It will enhance Riverwalk,” he said. “It will make it more of a destination that it already is.”

The firefighters have partnered with the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Hamilton County Artists Association on the project. The HCAA is providing its tax-deductible status to accept donations with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the memorial. Those interested in donating can visit www.hcfallenfirefightersmemorial.org, e-mail info@hcfallenfirefightersmemorial.org or call 773-8805. Checks made out to HCAA/ Fallen Firefighters Memorial can be mailed to 399 S. 14th St., Noblesville 46060.

“In working with these firefighters on this project, they have been so appreciative of our support.

But I keep telling them, ‘you save lives. You help people in their darkest hours. Nothing compares to that,’” HCCVB Executive Director Brenda Myers said.

“This memorial is not just a monument to fallen firefighters, but a place of respite for the weary. The design allows for people to pause and reflect.”

Fundraising kickoff • The collective fire departments of Hamilton County will gather to kick off a campaign to raise $275,000 to build a memorial at the Hamilton County Judicial Center overlooking the White River in historic downtown Noblesville. The event is 4 to 5 p.m. Oct. 13.

Carmel-Clay school teachers staged a protest on Nov. 27, 2012, at Woodbrook Elementary School. The demonstration came in response to teachers’ unhappiness with the lack of a contract. (Current archives photo)

Contract dispute likely to continue

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com A state-mandated fact-finder, a role similar to an administrative judge, determined Sept. 27 that a contract proposed by education Carmel-Clay schools should be applied retroactively for Carmel teachers for the 2012-13 school year.

Carmel teachers have been working without a contract for more than a year, as the school district and the Carmel Clay Education Association failed to reach agreement on a one-year contract.

The fact-finder’s order still could be be appealed to the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board.

“We are one step closer to reaching a resolution on the contract, but we wish our ‘best offer’ was accepted, which allotted for greater benefits and salaries for our teachers,” Asst. Supt. Roger McMichael said in a statement.

Parents and students should have little to fear. There is no threat of a strike and the excellent teaching standards maintained in the schools are likely to continue, McMichael said.

“We have a very dedicated staff here,” schools spokeswoman Tricia Reynolds said. “They are doing what they love to do.”

The contract negotiations began in August 2012, but neither side could reach an agreement.

The talks entered state-mandated mediation before a lawsuit was filed in November 2012 by the teachers’ association alleging unfair labor prac-

tices, said Brian Lyday, president of the teachers’ association and a fifth-grade teacher at Towne Meadow Elementary School.

That lawsuit and its appeals process were recently resolved, and a decision on a 2012-13 contract was sent to a fact-finder after Carmel teachers overwhelmingly voted to reject the administration’s “last best offer” contract.

The reason the fact-finder, Sandra Jensen, said she could not accept the teachers’ proposed version of a contract was because it would exceed the school district’s annual revenue and result in the need for deficit financing.

The district’s teachers had been the only ones in the state without a contract, and the entire appeals process is blazing new legal ground.

The contract will give teachers a 2 percent raise but will remove the district’s 1 percent matching contribution to teachers’ retirement plans. Effective and highly effective teachers also will share a performance bonus pool.

The fact-finder approved contract also did not include a salary schedule. Teachers have typically advanced in salary through a schedule that rewarded experience and higher education.

The order also determined that teachers must rely on individual short-term disability benefits instead of pooling leave days into a communal catastrophic leave bank.

Other teachers’ association efforts to negotiate further work-day terms were determined to be unallowable in Jensen’s fact-finding order.

Historical Society needs new archives

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com History is in the making inside of the aging and dusty rose-colored cottage nestled along the Monon Trail. As Carmel connonprofit tinues to grow, so does the volume of precious historical archives and records housed in the cottage that is home to the Carmel Clay Historical Society.

According to Jennifer Hershberger, the historical society board’s president, the 900-squarefoot space has long been outgrown and is plagued with a variety of issues: a lack of storage space, work space and climate-controlled storage areas as well as limited research and event space. Asbestos issues also make the building a health risk.

That’s why the historical society is currently drawing up plans to build a new archive facility on the grounds of the historic depot next to the Monon Trail. The society also plans to kick off a fundraising campaign to raise money for the project.

Society spokeswoman Melisa Keiser said, “We have such a need for it. The (current) building is literally falling apart.”

The historical society is completing work with a consultant, Maureen Mercho, who conducted a feasibility study as part of the strategic plan for the organization to have better connections with people throughout the community.

“It has been a really informative process for

them in which they came out a lot stronger,” Mercho said. “They wanted to know how they could be a good community group, how can they best serve the community and be fiscally responsible while still being sustainable.”

Future plans include replacing the current archive building on the same footprint to provide a larger facility. Plans include meeting space for use by outside groups, research space and climate controlled areas for delicate artifacts.

The Monon Depot Museum is adjacent to the archives building and was recently listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The Museum features historical exhibits and hosts frequent school and scout group tours as part of the mandated school curriculum.

Mercho said the historical society is bidding out construction and proposed plans still need board approval before any decisions are announced.

Long-time Carmel City Court Judge Brian Poindexter announced on Oct. 1 that he intends to run for Hamilton County Superior Politics Court.

Poindexter has served as the Judge of Carmel City Court since 2009, when he was appointed by Gov. Mitch Daniels. He was re-elected in 2011.

“I am committed to continue serving the citizens of Hamilton County in this manner. To that end, I intend to be the Republican Party’s candidate of choice for the Judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3 in May of 2014,” Poindexter said in a statement. “Hamilton County is an extraordinary community. It is not only where I have chosen to live and raise a family but where I recognize that I can best serve the public.”

Poindexter will file after the first of the year, and his name will appear on the May primary ballot. He will run for the seat currently held by Judge William Hughes.

“I have been an active member of the Hamilton County community for more than 20 years. I have invested both my time and energy in securing the future of Hamilton County by volunteering with numerous youth sports programs and a host of civic groups and charitable organizations,” Poindexter said.

Prior to his tenure at the city court, Poindexter worked for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Of-

Home-A-Rama makes comeback

By Chris Bavender • news@currentincarmel.com

Home-A-Rama is back for a three-weekend run.

“We are thrilled to be resurrecting the HomeA-Rama after a five-year break,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builder’s Associareal estate tion of Greater Indianapolis.

“For the past 14 months, we have seen new home permit numbers continue to rise which is a sign of a growing economy in central Indiana. That upward movement makes it a perfect time to showcase some amazing homes and the latest trends in the industry.”

Home-A-Rama is a chance to tour homes and see the latest in products, design and technology. This year’s event features four homes in the Village of West Clay.

“They are all distinct and diverse in their own way,” said Carrie Cason, director of communications for the association. “There are unique touches in each house that are must-sees. The technology that is out there right now – I didn’t even know some of it existed. I think people will walk in and be shocked at that and the

design trends as it relates to decorating and landscaping.”

All four of the homes – which range in price from $700,000 to $900,000 – have been sold.

“For me it is very special because my company is celebrating its 20-year anniversary in the custom home-building industry, and the very first house I built 20 years ago was in a Brenwick community right here in Carmel,” said David Klain. Klain Construction built one of this year’s featured homes. “It is great to be a part of the first home show that we have had as an industry here in the greater Indy metro area in many years.”

The other builders participating this year are Brookshire Homes, Gradison Design Build and Wedgewood Building Company; plus other association-member vendors and developer Brenwick Development.

The 2013 Home-A-Rama is noon to 8 p.m. Oct. 10 through 13, Oct. 17 through 20, and Oct. 24 through 27. Tickets are $12. For more information visit www.bagi.com.

This month’s downtown gallery walk will be a great way to celebrate fall in a very colorful and vibrant way. Eye on art Art Gallery on Main Street will exhibit the work of a unique and dazzling local fiber artist.

Wendy Franklin uses colored threads that dance and flow on specially designed Franklin hardboard panels. Her works make a statement that pushes the bounds of traditional fiber work. The marriage of luminous silk with the warmth of wool creates a collection that appeals both aesthetically and sensually to the viewer, said Franklin. She invites viewers to touch the work, enjoy the tactile sensations and be mesmerized by the experience.

Jerry Points and Susie Rachels of Eye on Art Gallery are proud to be featuring Franklin’s work for the first time.

Franklin maintains a successful studio at the Stutz Gallery Building in Indianapolis.

“Her style is unique in abstract quality and color and design,” Points said.

He describes her work as particularly strong and very distinctive, using mixed media with brads, studs and copper.

Franklin is not the only new attraction at this month’s gallery walk. There will be a scavenger hunt that will lead participants to find select pieces of art in participating galleries. The hunt begins at ArtSplash Gallery, 111 W. Main St., and people can follow the clues and win prizes.

Master carver Lee Saberson will be on hand to provide a pumpkin carving demonstration.

Authors Korey Ficara (Mercenaries: Shadow and Red) and M.L. Hollinger (Adventures of Regen and Bremen) will sign copies of their books at the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery.

Donna Carr, an award-winning portraiture artist, plans to display her work at ArtSplash Gallery.

CHS journalism teacher best in U.S.

By Terri Spilman • news@currentincarmel.com “Teachers are not and should not be the whipping boy for the woes of a society.”

That’s not a quote from education a Mark Twain novel like The Prince and The Pauper. It’s a statement from Carmel High School’s HiLite adviser and communications teacher Jim Streisel, who recently was named the 2013 Dow Jones News Fund National High School Journalism Teacher of the Year.

Perhaps it’s Streisel’s candor and honesty that helped the 19-year CHS teaching veteran garner many awards including 2012 National Scholastic Press Association Pioneer Award, 2012 Dow Jones News Fund Distinguished Advisor and the 2011 Indiana Journalism Adviser of the Year.

Streisel also is a passionate advocate for the sustainability of and creating greater appreciation for high school journalism programs.

“As journalism educators, we’re very good at deflecting attention from ourselves. Unfortunately, in this current educational environment which stresses more standardized testing, Common

Core, STEM education and the like, we find that our elective programs get marginalized,” Streisel said. “That’s a problem because it is these very elective programs that focus on the 21st century skills that we propose to teach our students and that will help them be prepared for the rigors of life beyond these walls.”

Streisel is a 1995 graduate of Ball State University with a double-major in journalism and education and a minor in English education. He was the advisor of the topically based Prerogative newsmagazine for several years in the early 2000s and was the associate advisor of the HiLite with former teacher Tony Willis. Streisel became the sole advisor of the HiLite in 2004.

“I have rarely met a teacher who doesn’t care deeply for his or her ‘kids’ (and they’re always called their ‘kids,’ that’s how passionate teachers can be – these are adjunct members of their own family) and who doesn’t want the best for those kids’ well-being?” he said. “I didn’t get into this profession to make a lot of money. I didn’t do it for fame. I teach because it’s a calling. I’m good at it and I think I offer something worthwhile to my students.”

According to Langston, the youth council’s High School Night event in August drew about 800 high school students.

The youth council was formed in 2010 and is comprised of high school students who are residents of Carmel. The Youth Council’s mission is to identify and address relevant community issues that affect young people, lead community youth in greater community involvement and lastly, organize and lead young people in community events and activities such as High School Fall Fest. The youth council’s advisor is former Carmel Mayor Jane Reiman.

The High School Fall Fest is open to the public.

O B I T U A R I E S Eugene B. Glick, 92, of Indianapolis, died Oct. 2, 2013. He was born Aug. 26, 1921, in Indianapolis, to Reuben and Faye Biccard Glick. He married Marilyn Koffman in 1947. After graduating from Indiana University in December 1942, he completed basic training with the Army and served as a combat instructor until June 1944 when he was deployed to Europe. As a German speaker, Glick often served as a front-line interrogator for Army scouts. He helped take Nuremburg and Munich, and Glick and his comrades liberated Dachau concentration camp in April 1945.

Glick received every European Theater ribbon awarded and was decorated with the Bronze Star and Combat Infantryman’s Badge. After the war, Gene and Marilyn founded what would become the Gene B. Glick Company in 1947. It would become one of the largest privately-held real estate development firms in the country.

The bulk of the fortune Gene and Marilyn Glick earned through their business has been used to fund civic projects and charitable organizations throughout central Indiana. The Glicks have been major benefactors of a number of Jewish causes. He received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from Butler University in 1989 and Sagamore of the Wabash awards from Indiana governors Robert Orr (1982), Evan Bayh (1992), and Joe Kernan (2005). Glick was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Marilyn Koffman Glick.

He is survived by his four daughters: Marianne (Mike Woods) Glick, Arlene (Thomas) Grande, Alice (Andrew) Meshbane and Lynda (Mark) Schwartz; many grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. A memorial service was conducted Oct. 4 at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation.

Frances Fusae Namba Ito, 92, of Noblesville and formerly of Carmel, died Sept. 26, 2013. She was born in Astoria, Ore., to Kazue and Shizuo Sato Namba, both immigrants from Japan. In 1942, her parents, two younger brothers and she were among more than 120,000 Japanese and JapaneseAmericans living on the West Coast who were forced to move to U.S. military internment camps during World War II. Frances was allowed to leave the Minidoka internment camp in Idaho in late 1942 for Indianapolis and Fort Benjamin Harrison.

Her fiancé, Ben Y. Ito, was serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Harrison, and they were married on Nov. 8, 1942. She was office manager at Benito Dental Studio in Seymour and Carmel from 1976 to 1986.

Survivors include two sons, Craig S. Ito and Kirk A. (Ratana) Ito, both of Indianapolis; a daughter Cathy (Burnette) Shilling of Bluffton, Ohio; six grandchildren, Brianne (John) Bowling, Brandon (Kara) Shilling, and Rebecca, Micah, Kathryn and Jared Ito; and six great-grandchildren. A funeral service was conducted Oct. 5 at Noblesville’s Grace Community Church. She was buried at Washington Park North Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the church at gracechurchin.org.

Sandra Dale Thomas, 64, of Carmel, died Sept. 28, 2013. She is survived by her son, John (Rae) Thomas Jr., four grandchildren, five sisters, and a brother.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date. Please visit www.bussellfamilyfunerals.com to sign a guestbook and read Sandy’s complete obituary. Arrangements were entrusted to Bussell Family Funerals in Carmel.

When second-grader Evan Kean opened the letter, he was excited but nervous at the same time. It only took the volunteerism first sentence to confirm the document would soon hold a place of prominence hanging on his bedroom wall. The important message he held in his hand began, “Evan, as Principal of Carmel High School, I would like to thank you for your generous donation to our Planetarium.”

A personal letter from Mr. John Williams was not only rewarding but an important validation for the hardworking Carmel Elementary student turned businessman. The letter was the crown jewel and final payoff for the months of planning which netted $427.93 in just one day.

It all started when Kean went to the library and secured the necessary paperwork to become an official entrepreneur. He decided to run a lemonade stand on National Lemonade Day. During this project, he would not only learn what it is like to operate a business, but also to support a project in his community for which he has a special affinity. National Lemonade Day teaches kids about business and then recommends a formula for the profit which includes spend, save and donate.

With Kean’s interest in space travel beyond the moon, the CHS Planetarium seemed like the perfect place to direct any benefit which might

come from his labor. It also made sense that the product sold to benefit the Planetarium should not be just ordinary but out of this world, so to speak.

To find lemonade good enough for the universe led Kean to partner with Derek Means, owner of The Local Eatery and Pub. Means seems to have a recipe for celestially great lemonade, and Out Of This World Lemonade was born at $2.75 per glass.

Kean would provide samples and the sales pitch outside the restaurant, encouraging patrons to order a glass or two with their meal once inside. As is known to happen in these parts when a bright, enthusiastic and determined second-grader like Evan is involved, the donation box overflowed, supplementing the day’s lemonade revenue.

Jacob Kean, Evan’s dad, said, “His mother (Alissa) and I are very proud of what he accomplished.

We can tell him that, but receiving the letter from Mr. Williams carried a lot more weight.”

Although we don’t know if Kean will become a future Carmel merchant, it is clear he is going great places; exactly where yet remains written in the stars.

Can you put a price tag on Brookshire?

The City of Carmel is looking for a way to sell Brookshire Golf Course to Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation in the hopes of recoupcover story ing the $2.6 million that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission paid for the course in 2006.

But the proposal put forward by Mayor Jim Brainard must first gain the approval of the parks board, the Carmel City Council and the Clay Township Board. And that’s not to mention the need for Brainard to explain why it has any value at all considering the golf course has required more than $2 million in city subsiBrainard dies to cover its operational losses since the city purchased it.

“Parks don’t make money generally,” Brainard said.

“Most cities that own a golf course, it’s operated by the parks department.”

He attributed much of Brookshire’s early losses to necessary capital expenses the city made to improve the clubhouse, the air conditioning system and the irrigation systems, not to mention necessary mold removal, the purchase of new golf carts and various course improvements.

Brainard also noted that annual revenue deficits that had averaged $400,000 are expected to be about $80,000 when 2013 concludes.

“Very shortly it will be able to break even,” he said.

“It certainly has value over the land value,” City Councilor Ron Carter said, noting it’s a less expensive place for Carmel residents to play golf.

And Carter said it’s not going to be converted for another purpose.

“It’s going to continue to operate as a golf course,”

he said, noting that a change in use would devalue the land of the surrounding subdivision.

The prospect of redevelopment is the reason the mayor cited as impetus for the CRC’s decision to purchase the course, noting a proposal for a gas station at 116th Street and Gray Road and the threat of the former owners to close the course.

But the majority of the course – with the exception of the clubhouse, two holes and the driving range – lays in a floodplain, and residential construction would be prohibited by the Flood Control Act, said Indiana Department of Natural Resources spokesperson Marty Benson.

And it’s complexities like these that the parks board will consider before it makes a decision on whether to purchase and operate the course. But to help it make an informed decision, the parks board hired Golf Convergence to conduct a feasibility study on the subject.

Public opinion survey

James Keegan, Golf Convergence’s managing principal, said that Brookshire’s deficiencies weren’t due to bad management practices by the city-appointed manager, Bob Higgins.

“Bob Higgins is a very talented manager,” Keegan said.

He noted that the average city golf course has a cash flow of about $142,000, and that the numbers remain low simply because the supply of golf courses exceeds demand from players by an average of 10 percent across the country.

He also said an abundance of spring rain or a lack of mild days in the summer can decimate any golf course’s profitability.

And while Keegan’s feasibility study is not yet complete, Assistant Parks Director Michael Klitzing was able to release the results of the study’s public

opinion survey that had more than 1,000 respondents.

When asked who should own and operate Brookshire, 47 percent of people said they didn’t care, 31 percent favored the parks department and 22 percent favored city management.

Another interesting fact was that almost 40 percent of people said the city should help subsidize the course’s operating expenses because it was a vital city resource; only about 27 percent said it should be self-supporting.

The survey results indicated that the public thought Brookshire’s use should be targeted at payas-you-go recreational golfers, and that the majority of its users intended to play a wide variety of other courses throughout the year.

Parks board consideration

But the issue of purchasing an ongoing expense like Brookshire is likely to weigh most on the park board members’ minds when they have to make a decision on the issue.

“I do believe the city council has observed how (the Monon Center) has been run,” Parks Board President Jim Engledow said. “I believe they may see the wisdom in that falling in the auspices of the parks department.”

Engledow also said he didn’t see the advantage of the parks department paying to own and manage the course, noting that other scheduled park improvements likely would come to a standstill for years.

“I would hate to see that get in the way of the progress that we’ve made,” he said.

Township approval

“It’s a great old public course, and I hope it stays,” said Clay Township Board member Paul Bolin.

Members of the township board all expressed an interest in waiting for the results of the feasibility

study before formulating a position on the matter – likely because they have the most at stake.

They all face a primary election in May of 2014 and their decision on this subject could play a role in that election.

That’s because the township manages a fund that collects more than $2 million per year in county option income tax money (COIT) that is to be used for park improvements or development of new parks. That fund currently has about $5.2 million dollars, of which about $4.5 million has already been allocated for various uses by the parks department. But of that $4.5 million allocation, $2.5 million are planned to go into rainy day funds according to Klitzing.

Brainard acknowledged that he believes it would be possible for the deciding entities to use those COIT reserves toward the purchase of the golf course.

“That’s a large chunk of change,” Engledow said, noting that it would difficult for the parks department to find the money otherwise unless Clay Township were willing to float a bond on its behalf.

City interests

“If it weren’t for Home Place, we could just transfer it to the parks department,” Brainard said.

That’s because the city provides about 98 percent of the parks department’s funding, but it would end up subsidizing Home Place’s portion of the contribution.

Home Place, an approximately 1-square mile area, is the only portion of Clay Township that hasn’t been annexed by Carmel.

And then there is the issue of the pool that is attached to the Brookshire clubhouse but separately owned by the nonprofit Brookshire Swim Club. Current and former Brookshire neighbors including Leo Dierckman, a member of Carmel’s Board of Zoning Appeals, run the club.

According to Klitzing, the parks department already conducted a feasibility study on purchasing the pool and the parks board rejected the idea.

Brainard said he would likely encourage the city council to approve a purchase of the pool to facilitate any Brookshire deal. Any deal he said would improve the course’s marketing capabilities and provide more staff to respond to course cleanup events.

“The public isn’t going to see any difference except more efficient operation after a storm,” Brainard said.

And the city envisions Higgins and the rest of the Brookshire staff remaining in their current jobs, but under the management of the parks department.

EL!

The Albrecht Team has helped more families in the area sell their home than any other agent!

These are the facts!

Keith has sold over 100 MORE homes in Hamilton County in the last 5 years than other top agents!

RE/MAX agents have the experience to get the job done, no matter what the market conditions may be!

Follow the money

So if the city were able to arrange a payday similar to the 2006 purchase price, how would the windfall be used?

Brainard said it should go into the city’s general fund.

But the council might have other ideas. If a sale were approved, City Councilor Luci Snyder said she would like to see any purchase price used to pay down the original debt from the course’s 2006 purchase that has since been consolidated into other city bonds.

And despite all the deal’s complexities, perhaps the 47 percent of survey respondents were right not to care about Brookshire’s ownership.

“It will remain a Carmel asset regardless of who owns it,” Engledow said.

That’s because after 2006, the city rezoned all its golf courses as parks to eliminate the threat of redevelopment, Brainard said. The only exception was Mohawk Hills Golf Course, which still is planned to be redeveloped as part of the Grammercy project.

And in the end, when the complexities of any potential deal are forgotten, how much is a public golf like Brookshire worth to the residents of Carmel?

Brainard said, “I think it’s important to have a low-cost course for retired people.”

“The public isn’t going to see any difference except more efficient operation after a storm.”

Another stellar run for arts fest

Art smart It is our position that the arts enhance learning. Unfortunately, arts-related programs such as music, foreign language, visual arts and library services are the first to be cut by school systems when balancing budgets.

Children must be given the ability to express themselves in creative ways beyond merely being prepared for standardized testing.

It is scientifically proven that the arts provide healing powers to the sick. The arts provide a much needed escape, a sense of adventure and tranquility so useful in navigating this fast-paced, technically-focused world.

There is an innate reason why babies are mesmerized by the sounds of a lullaby and toddlers are gleeful just beating pots and pans with a wooden spoon.

Thank heavens for philanthropists and organizations that fund the arts, though the arts are not just a playground for the rich. Many arts venues have community days in which they offer free or reduced admission rates.

The arts are a part of our daily lives whether watching a TV program, listening to the radio or doodling on a notepad. Dance in your living room. Sing in the shower or on the street if you dare. Life may not always be a Gershwin tune, but wouldn’t it be fun to try?

Existential thoughts on marketing Commentary by Terry Anker As sellers eagerly reach out to buyers, the cacophony of the many promoting their products eventually blurs into a din. Seldom do words or images – let alone complete thoughts – elevate themselves to a perspective sufficiently high enough to be recognized as distinct one from the rest; and so it has been for as long as the first caveman attempted to barter an exchange.

Like so many things, the centuries have taken the simple and made them complex. The basic process of promoting purchase, fundamentally innate to us all, is now called, among other things, the science of “marketing.” While it takes many forms, among them is the use of existing images and thoughts to tell a story more quickly and with greater impact.

A story display referred its product to the iconic 1972 film Cabaret and inspired me to wonder what message was being leveraged? Moving through the day, it stuck with me. Like stepping on gum it was not enough to ponder, but just

enough to take pause. The film rightly speaks to the ambiguity and uncertainty of human interaction. Things are often not as we perceive them and motives are in constant flux.

People watching, I think, is observing the movement of other humans in a crowd. But more than considering coiffure or sartorial whit, one imagines the story. Why are they in this place?

Where are they traveling? What paints the countenance on their face? Who might they be and how might they live?

Macmillan defines cabaret as entertainment in a restaurant or club, performed while you eat or drink. The film proclaims that “life is a cabaret.” As I work on this piece in a public place surrounded by strangers, I wonder if I am in the audience or on the stage.

The rains of Sept. 29 did little to dampen the spirit at the Carmel International Arts Festival.

While the crowd was lesser than that of the picture-perfect previous day, which created a wall-to-wall throng in something of a “last blast of summer,” there still were shoppers and gazers, umbrellas in hand, milling about until the last minute the second day. Such is the popularity of the event that shoppers were queuing up approximately 90 minutes before the official opening, and that was heartening to see. We continue to be amazed by the work of festival chair Rosemary Waters and her all-volunteer staff. From setup, to artisan check-in, to the actual event, to teardown and cleanup, we witnessed it all come off without a hitch. This edition of the festival, weather be damned, was as good as any that preceded it in terms of organization, artisan offerings and diversity of entertainment. We were proud to have been a sponsor again, and, as we told Rosemary, we’ll continue to be such until she throws us out. Having the festival in the Arts & Design District makes great sense to us, even though some merchants say they experience “take-away” from their businesses for the weekend; it still gives them branding opportunities by virtue of their location, and we hope it will come back to them many times over. What also struck us about this run of the festival was that there were no thefts reported overnight or at any time during the two days, not that it ever has been a problem. The Carmel Police Dept. was quietly represented during festival hours, and the department’s Explorers held down the fort during off hours.

Hats off to those folks, for they made the experience all the more pleasant for visiting artists. Mark your calendars now for Sept. 27-28, 2014, because the festival will be back bigger and better than ever.

‘I just can’t handle the truth’

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. The other night I was driving over to the high school to pick up a kid from swim prachumor tice. A soccer match was underway next door, and I had to stop to allow players and parents to cross the street.

I felt an incredible surge of jealously as they passed in front of my stupid van, and suddenly all the bitterness of my oldest son not making the team this summer came flooding back. I just wanted to floor it!

When I mentioned the near “code red” incident to Doo, he said straight up, “You’ve got to move on!”

But that’s the problem. Almost two months have passed, and I still weep for my son (and curse those who made the team) when I remember that he won’t be able to compete in a sport for his school. He won’t have that camaraderie that comes from being with a group of teammates twenty-four-seven. He won’t ever be cheered on by classmates and teachers as he plays his heart out for his community.

Then it hit me. Sure I’m disappointed for him, but deep down (in places I don’t talk about at parties) I’m disappointed for me! He doesn’t give a rat’s butt about playing soccer at this level. I’m the one who wants the glory of having a kid on the team. I’m the one who wants to be part of

a close-knit group of families who win and lose together, and I’m the one who wants to be congratulated on the success of my son. I want his name on that wall. I need his name on that wall!

This isn’t about my son, it’s about me! I “just can’t handle the truth.”

The question is what do I do with this revelation? My first thought was that maybe I should join a team. But most basketball leagues use words like “over 40,” “female,” and “half-court” as punch lines. Then I considered a road race. After all, I finished a mini last year and really enjoyed it (as much as anyone who pees herself while hauling her cellulite around for 13.1 miles can).

I’d also love to get back into coaching track, but with a family I have more responsibilities than even I can possibly fathom. Besides work, my days are filled with chauffeur duties and laundry piles (and semi-successful attempts to incorporate lines from “A Few Good Men” into this article).

I have to figure something out. It’s clear that I can’t keep having such visceral reactions to high school sports teams. A code red is not an option!

Peace out.

Tale of two 146th Streets

Commentary by John Accetturo

While I was driving to Sunday church services in the dark last week, I was reminded once again how difficult it is to determine column where the lanes are on the 146th Street bridge over U.S. 31. The evidence of the confusion is clear with all the tire marks on the concrete curbing in front of the south bound exit to Meridian Street that now has a big orange barrel sitting on it.

As a frequent user of 146th Street in both directions, I would have to say we have two different 146th Streets - one from Hazel Dell west and another from Hazel Dell east to Interstate 69. I will withhold my comments today about the safety of the road because that is an issue for another day.

Previously, the county commissioners stated the main point of the improvements to 146th Street was to move traffic through the county. I would have to say that 146th Street east of Hazel Dell does an excellent job at that. There are virtually no major backups. Residents can exit their subdivisions and workers can access and exit their job sites. Congestion around Hamilton Town Center is minimal despite the fact that it is much larger than Clay Terrace.

This 146th Street is well lit, and yes, you can follow the multiple lanes as they wind through Noblesville and Fishers. In this area 146th Street provides a positive assist to economic development for future residential and commercial

growth in the area. I would have to say that 146th east of Hazel Dell is a pleasure to drive.

It is quite the opposite on the 146th Street west of Hazel Dell. Several years ago Hamilton County redid the bridge over U.S. 31. The redo of the bridge and the timing on the traffic lights have made the traffic situation confusing and very slow moving.

Driving on 146th Street west of Hazell Dell is not fun. The whole situation on 146th Street around the bridge over U.S. 31 makes me think that even architects and engineers graduating at the bottom of their class get jobs.

Construction by the state continues on the 146th Street bridge over U.S. 31, but that does not relieve Hamilton County from its responsibility to step up and resolve the 146th Street problems in Carmel.

Despite feeling frustrated and helpless, I still have hope that one day we can have a 146th Street in Carmel that works like the one that goes through Fishers and Noblesville. After all, Carmel residents pay more than our fair share of taxes in Hamilton County.

County Commissioner Christine Altman, we are counting on you.

Do festivals help merchants?

Commentary by Jason Peek

Well, once again, the Carmel International Arts Festival has come and gone. It looked like thousands showed up to see the column different displays of artwork.

Now I’m not much of an art guy, but I did see some cool wood works and shots of nature that I really liked.

I would love to tell you the gyros my family and I had were good, but our experience started out with some very unprofessional and unorganized people that were extremely angry and rude. I saw a young stressed lady yelling angrily, so I proceeded to step forward to place our order. Before I could move around the crowd, she yelled again, “Who’s next?” Then she decided to start cursing. I gave her my order really quickly, and as she made my gyro she proceeded to curse at me, saying, “I’m sick of these freaking people and their bullcrap.” I’m paraphrasing.

Because my family was there and I’m a business owner in town, I took the high road and kept my mouth shut. Any other day I would have put her and her co-workers in check. Then I got charged $54 for three lemonades and four gyros that tasted like they came out of a dumpster.

My wife was sick for two days, and I finally finished that book I’d been reading … in the bathroom.

I like events and I think they’re fun, but Main St. Barber Shop has been open for more than

seven years, and I can truly state that not only do I not pick up business from events, but they cost me and my barbers money every time there is an event.

I’m sure some merchants got some business, but I have to wonder how much attention it brings to the district. When people come to an event, that’s what they do - the event. They don’t shop the storefronts, at least not very much. This is my opinion after seven years of observing.

I would rather see the food places here in town serving instead of outside vendors who probably aren’t even monitored by the board of health or anyone else, for that matter.

I do understand people enjoy the show and it’s something to do on a weekend, but I wish events wouldn’t take money out of our pockets.

But hey, I’m just one guy with one opinion, so come on down to the events and judge for yourself on what you and your family like.

But watch those food vendors. Take a good look at what they’re serving and how they’re storing it. I think sour cream exposed to the hot sun is not a good thing. Trust me on that.

A fork in the catalog? Take it.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My Hammacher Schlemmer Christmas catalogue arrived a little later than usual this season.

I know because last year I rememhumor ber using it to swat flies at our July Fourth cookout. So once again, to save you the trouble of wading through all the gift ideas, I offer a few of my favorites. Yes, these are all real. Try to resist.

Shark bait sleeping bag: Your kids feel safe and secure in their home and are finally sleeping nightmare-free. Why not surprise them with a life-size shark sleeping bag? The brochure photo shows a toddler, snuggled inside the bag, with only his head sticking out of the shark’s mouth.

According to HS, this neat gift “devours children with shark-induced slumber.” Soothing, huh? But there’s more: “It facilitates restful sleep even while the child is being digested.” My suggestion is to wait and buy this on Craigslist for one-tenth the price on Dec. 26.

Fold-away adult bunk beds: This is the perfect gift for parents who are preparing their young teens for life in a penitentiary. HS claims it can be put together and taken apart without tools, which is important because you don’t get to play with screwdrivers and hammers when you are in maximum security. The manufacturer says the beds are guaranteed for life, so don’t waste this set on a kid who only aspires to petty larceny.

The gyroscopic watch winder: I had no idea what this was. In the old days, I just twisted the stem with my thumb and forefinger every night.

Then the self-winding watches were invented and that really freed up my evenings. Now I discover you need some fancy instrument to wind your expensive watch properly.

World’s largest gummy bear: HS says this is 1,000 times larger than a traditional gummy bear. But is it snack food or a big game trophy?

HS advises that it tastes best when kept in the fridge and then sliced into cutlets, which is a term that should really be reserved for veal. The giant gummy bear is cherry flavored and serves 12 kids - or 106 adults.

The spinning spaghetti fork: Are you tired of driving all the way over to Olive Garden or Bucca di Beppo and poring over their exhaustive menus only to have to actually twirl the spaghetti on your fork yourself? The spinning fork has “a thumb activated button that turns the device at 22 rpm … and it fits neatly in your mouth without creating a mess.” This is the exact same copy as on the next page about their electric toothbrush, which is $75 more expensive. So I’d buy the fork.

You’re welcome.

What’s the password?

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Every so often, I am reminded with breathtaking clarity that the world in which I live is not the world in which I grew up. humor Today I was setting up an e-mail account on my cell phone. This was my first clue that we are no longer in the time of my kidhood, also known as the Jurassic Era. Seriously, or as close to seriously as I can get, a phone was a phone and it was attached to the wall, either hanging there (in the kitchen) or by a cord (which you could not unplug under penalty of arrest by the Phone Cops). And all it was for was talking. No camera. No programs. No snaps, no apps.

I know, I know. It’s difficult to imagine life under such hardships.

So anyway, back to the cell phone.

There I was, typing (if you can call it that) an impossibly complicated series of letters and numbers into my phone so I could be further annoyed by a constant stream of email, when it dawned on me that I have way too many things in my life which require a password.

Once again, let us return to those kidhood days and the numbers Right-Left-Right 32-6-24, the locker combination of my junior year (honest) in high school and, back then, the only thing I had to memorize in order to gain access to something. Not that I ever used it. The only thing

in my locker was textbooks and I had zero interest in gaining access to them.

Nowadays, of course, you have to have a password for everything from getting your email to getting money from a bank machine. You need one password to buy something online, and another one to sell. You need a password to check your credit card account and another to see if you have enough money to pay it off. You need one to enter your garage when you lose your remote control, and another to call someone to tell them you can’t remember the garage password.

Simply put, you need about 26 passwords just to get through a day.

And only an idiot would use the same password for all 26 accounts, as I learned when some miscreant became Mike Redmond for a day and wreaked a jaw-dropping amount of havoc on my credit.

So here I sit with yet another password to memorize for email on a phone that already does more stuff than I can use in two lifetimes, and I am left to wonder whatever happened to good old 32-6-24 and to wish I could remember my 21st Century passwords as easily. Especially the one that allows me to get back into the garage.

THIS WEEK Ben Rector – One of the Midwest’s best new singer/songwriters brings The Walking In Between Tour to the Old National Centre, 502 N. CARMEL New Jersey St. in downtown Indianapolis at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 12. Fans of John Mayer and The Fray have likely mistaken his work – which is prominently featured in multitudes of television shows – for that of another band. But check out any of his songs on YouTube first, and you’ll agree that the $17 ticket price is the best deal in town. For more information, call 231-0000 or visit www.oldnationalcentre.com.

By Abby Walton • news@currentnoblesville.com It’s time to dust off your lederhosen and get ready for the 7th annual Oktoberfest on the farm at Traders Point Creamery in festival Zionsville. The fun will take place from noon to 7 p.m. on Oct. 12 at 9101 Moore Rd. Keeping with the German tradition, Traders Point Creamery will have lots of organic food, beer and wine with music from Polka Boy. “Oktoberfest is the perfect blend of fun for all ages,” Gail Alden, director of marketing and events at TPC, stated. Besides fun for the adults, kids can play games, make crafts, decorate pumpkins and more.

“Guests like to wander down to the hog roast grill to talk with the farmers who raised the pig, and the hayrides are running non-stop so everyone can enjoy the best view of our farm,” Alden stated.

This event also is a fundraiser for the Traders Point Rural Historic District, a nonprofit organization that protects green space around Eagle Creek.

“We wanted to put on a community event that would offer people a special way to enjoy our beautiful farm and cool historic barns while raising money to help preserve the unique Traders Point area,” Alden stated. The funds from Oktoberfest have helped include an additional 2,600 acres in the National Register of Historic Places. This is only the third rural historic district to be named in Indiana and the only rural historic district within a metropolitan area in the United States.

“The goal of this combined effort was to take the first step in recognizing the importance and significance of the pristine rural areas associated with rural and equestrian activity in Boone and Marion counties, which are becoming more rare in our country,” Alden stated. In the last six

Ride the rails to adventure this fall!

‘You have to follow your dream’

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com

Alyona Yakovleva has worked to create a distinctive approach to dance training and public performance for three years at the ballet helm of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory. When the school displays its public face, in her view the point is to present works that showcase the students’ strengths and interests.

The latest fruit of that focus is the production of “Pulse,” which can be seen this weekend at the Tobias Theater in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Based on Yakovleva’s growing interest in percussion (spurred by her musician-husband Daryl Randall) “it’s a showcase of our work in contemporary choreography and an education opportunity for the students,” she said.

Yakovleva’s history in the area goes back more than a decade. The Russian-born dancer and choreographer was first associated here with Ballet Internationale and its Clara Noyes Academy, and had to scramble to hold on to students and her ballet dreams when the professional troupe collapsed in 2005. After a reorganization of the first company and school she formed, she has been artistic director of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory since 2010.

“I think the audience will see themselves in this piece,” Yakovleva said. “When we first did it (in 2012), there were tears and there was smiling.”

The effect, she said, was produced by the new work’s story line: the counterpoint of male and female dancers seen at three stages of their lives a boy interested in drumming and a girl interested in dancing. As they mature, they come to see the advantage and beauty of each other’s art form.

The story line raises questions about the choices young people attracted to the arts may have to make as they consider their future: “What if I would not change my dream and my way to succeed? What if I would follow what I really love?” is how Yakovleva put those questions.

“It’s not an easy way to success if you do art,” she said.

Nearly 40 dancers take part in the production, which is set to both live and recorded music centered on the Randall’s drumming. Two guest artists will take part: IBC graduate Alex Ray, who is now studying theatre at Ball State University, and Christopher Bibbs, a former student now hoping to join the Army.

Ray’s passion for drumming and dance helped inspire Yakovleva’s choreography. So did the dual interests of a current IBC student, Ethan Holder, 12. Both will play a drum set in addition to dancing in “Pulse” performances, supplementing Randall’s percussion playing.

Contemporary ballet techniques are showcased in the production, which Yakovleva is using as a vehicle to shed light on what the IBC offers through its resident choreographer and instructor of contemporary ballet, Bulgarian-born Sergey Sergiev. “‘Pulse’ is about life,” Yakovleva said. “No matter how difficult to meet that goal you have, never, ever give up. It’s going to be tears, happiness, success and disappointment. You have to see the goal and you have to follow your dream.”

1940’s Radio Hour celebrates classics

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com The time is 1942. Roosevelt is president and the country is at war. As Christmas approaches, a rundown small-time radio station in New York City full of eccentrics, schemers and dreamers decides to record a broadcast for the troops overseas.

Take a swingin’ trip down memory lane and tune into the final broadcast of the “Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade” as the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre presents “The 1940’s Radio Hour,” Oct. 25 through Nov. 9.

The show is chock-full of Great American Songbook standards including “Love is Here to Stay,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Blue Moon,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “I’ll Be Seeing You” and “I’ll Never Smile Again.” It also features holiday favorites “Jingle Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The show is directed by Robert Sorbera, who also is the theatre’s artistic director.

“This show takes us back to a simpler time,” Sorbera said. “A time when everyone gathered around the radio - it was the way most people got their news and their entertainment. In a time of war, radio really unified the nation. In some ways, the show parallels much of what is going on right now in America; upheaval and uncertainty, but always optimism. This is the antithesis of how we get our news today. There was just radio back then.”

The show marks a return to the Civic stage by local favorite Tobin Strader, who took a break from acting after adopting two young children. Audiences

will recognize him from “My Way” and “Bus Stop.”

Brent Marty, Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, typically is in the pit conducting the orchestra. Since the orchestra is on the stage for this show, he’ll be able to perform and conduct.

“The show has a bit of choreography, by Anne Beck, who is quite creative. It has to be creative, because the characters can’t leave the microphone,” Sorbera said. “So the actors on the stage are really playing to two audiences, the radio audience and the live audience. It’s very unique. It’s a great little show.”

Making the call: cold or flu?

Commentary by Aaron Ashabraner, M.D.

It’s the time of year when the first sign of a stuffy nose, cough or fever leaves us wondering if we have a cold or the flu. wellness While the common cold and seasonal flu have some of the same symptoms, they are very different illnesses in terms of duration and severity. A cold is much milder, and while a cold can affect you for a few days, the flu is likely to cause lingering illness that can last up to two weeks or longer.

Cold symptoms: The first sign of a cold is often a sore throat.

Symptoms that follow can include runny nose, congestion and cough. Adults generally do not run a fever with a cold, but children with colds may experience fever. People can expect to recover from a cold within a week.

Flu symptoms: Flu symptoms are likely to come on suddenly and are typically more severe. Common signs of flu include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle and body aches or soreness, congestion and cough. The flu can also cause vomiting and diarrhea in some cases. While flu symptoms usually subside in two to five days, some people may

feel weak and run down for several more days. If not effectively treated the flu can cause complications, such as pneumonia and hospitalization, especially in older adults and people with heart and lung conditions.

Fever is the symptom that normally sets flu apart from a cold. It’s very unlikely that a cold will cause a fever, and if it does, it will be low-grade (not higher than 101 degrees). With the flu, fever is usually one of the first symptoms. Body and muscle aches also are more characteristic of the flu.

When to see a physician: If you become ill with a cold or the flu, it’s important to know when to call your primary care doctor. Seek medical care if you experience symptoms such as persistent fever, cough or headache, or painful swallowing (which may indicate strep throat). Talk to your doctor about the seasonal flu vaccine. It’s the best way to help prevent the flu.

Protecting your family from fire Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Robert G. from Westfield: My neighbor had a minor fire at his house, and it has me wondering if my family is ready. Are there certain things I should Insurance be concerned about and be prepared for?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: You’re a step ahead of a lot of people. Advanced planning is one of the most important factors in protecting your family from fire. Home fires injure more than 13,000 people each year and kill nearly 3,000. The people most at risk are those over age 65 and children preschool age and younger.

The first thing you need to worry about when it comes to protecting your family is smoke alarms. Every home should have at least one smoke alarm. Most codes now require that a smoke alarm be placed on every floor of the home. Test the batteries in your smoke alarms monthly and replace the alarm every ten years.

Make sure you always install new alarms according to the manufacturer’s directions.

With all of your smoke alarms working, you need to create an escape plan. Make sure everyone in your family understands what to do when the smoke alarm goes off. Practice your escape plan in the dark so that you all know what to expect and how to navigate the home without electricity.

Here are some things to keep in mind when coming up with your plan.

• Know two ways out of each room. Have an escape ladder for any bedrooms above the ground floor. Make sure children are familiar

with opening the windows.

• Feel the door for heat before opening it. If the door is not hot, open it slowly and take your normal escape route. If the door is hot, take your backup route.

• Crawl if there is smoke. Most fire victims succumb to smoke and toxic gases. Stay below the smoke by crawling.

• Have an arranged meeting place outside the house. Make sure everyone knows it.

• Do not go back inside. Let the fire department handle it from here.

Lastly, insurance. Your independent insurance agent is going to be there to help you rebuild your life after a terrible loss like a fire. It is important to make sure your insurance limits are adequate and up-to-date. Insurance policies are concerned with the cost of rebuilding your home (not to be confused with the market value).

Be sure to review your policy with your agent annually.

Your contents’ (furniture, clothes, etc.) value is usually set at half of the rebuilding cost. Sometimes this limit can be inadequate and needs to be increased.

Your independent insurance agent can provide a simple home inventory form to help figure out if you need to increase your contents limit. For more information on fire prevention, visit usfa. dhs.gov or call your insurance agent.

Teddy’s Burger Joint and Shiraz Wine Café both close

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Two Carmel restaurants have closed down in the past two weeks.

Teddy’s Burger Joint in Merchant’s Square will serve “burgers and hapfood industry piness” no more. The Carmel restaurant was the company’s second location. The original restaurant is located on Indianapolis’ southside. Indianapolis, and operations there are unaffected.

According to the company’s Website, Teddy’s Burger Joints are owned by husband and wife team Corey and Amanda Larson. Time spent in Texas was the inspiration for Teddy’s.

“I think the location hurt them more than anything else,” said Carmel resident Liza Miller. “It was hard to find, even if you were familiar with Merchant’s Square.”

Neither the Larsons nor General Manager, Brad Korth, returned calls for comment before this issue went to press.

Teddy’s Burger Joint closed its doors the last week in September. (Photo by Karen Kennedy)

Shiraz Wine Café was at 404 W. Main St. on the west end of the Arts and Design District. It featured a high-end wine tasting system and often had live musical performances.

The wine bar had last posted on Facebook on the night of Sept. 27 that it was having live music and that the band was “going strong.” By Oct. 2, the phone was disconnected, the signage was removed and the restaurant was empty.

Other Indianapolis media reported that the restaurant was planning to relocate to Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis.

In praise of immune-boosting probiotics Commentary by John Mikesell Feed the “good guy” bacteria in your dog’s gut to help him get the most out of his food.

Adding supplemental Lactobacillus acicanines dophilus, Bifidobacteruim bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, or other probiotic organisms to your dog’s diet is almost always a good idea.

This will support the resident micro flora that are always present in your dog’s gut, enhancing digestion and adsorption of nutrients, supporting detoxification and elimination processes, and helping to boost his immune system.

The digestive system is the largest immune organ in the body; roughly 70% of the body’s immune cells, entrecotes, goblet cells, and other immune waters reside in the mucosal linings of the intestinal tract.

Probiotic, work in concert with these immune warriors by producing special enzymes and other chemicals that support immune functions at many levels. Probiotic will also help keep populations of “bad guys” pathogens, like

Salmonella spp, and Escherichia coli, in check.

One of the fundamental rules of holistic pet care is to always remember that no two animals are alike. Your dog may look and behave like others, but his (or her) inner nature is different from any other dog.

What you can do Give your dog a probiotic supplement that offers a variety of strains of beneficial bacteria.

Nourish those good guy bacteria with a probiotic supplement.

Monitor your dog’s weight, the condition of his coat, his energy level, and the quality of his Dailey stool for signs that his diet needs to be adjusted in some way. What works well for some dogs may not benefit another dog in other circumstances.

The comparative and superlative Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “More and more I am hearing people use ‘more’ rather than using the ‘-er’ at the end of words. Is this the grammar guy current grammar usage?

Example: ‘The weather is more hot than it has been lately.’ I was taught to use ‘-er.’ ‘The weather is hotter than it has been lately.’ I am confused. Can you help?” - Dee Ann Reed Answer: I touched on comparative and superlative forms in a previous column, but since this does seem to be a pernicious error I think we can tackle it again.

To recap quickly: The comparative form is used to compare two people or things (“My go-cart is faster than yours.”). The superlative form is used to compare three or more people or things (“Tom’s go-cart is the fastest of the bunch.”).

Typicallypeople don’t have trouble determining whether they need to use the comparative or superlative form. Rather, what trips people up is whether to use an accessory word like “more” or “most” or a suffix like “-er” or “-est.” Fortunately, there is a rule for this.

When comparing items with a single-syllable Glenn and Laura Moehling of Carmel announce the engagement of their daughter Jenny Moehling to Danny Gill, son of Steven and Kim Gill of Greenwood. Jenny is a 2008 graduate of Carmel High School and a 2012 graduate of Purdue University. She is employed at Community Health Networks as a health coach. Danny is a 2007 graduate of Center Grove High School and a 2011 graduate of University of Indianapolis. He is employed at Community Health Networks as a preventative care specialist. The wedding is set for September 2014.

word, use “-er” or “-est.” When comparing items with a multiple-syllable word, use “more” or “less.” The exception is two-syllable words ending in “-y,” “-ow” or “-le,” which get treated as single-syllable words.

In your example above, we would say the weather is “hotter” than it has been lately. Why? Because “hot” is a single syllable word. What if the weather has been especially humid, though?

We would say it has been “more humid,” since “humid” is a multi-syllable word not ending in “-y,” “-ow” or “-le.” If it has been especially cloudy?

Then it’s been “cloudier,” because, though “cloudy” is a multi-syllable word, it gets singlesyllable treatment since it ends in “-y.”

This is one of the nicer grammar rules with only a single, consistent set of exceptions. Learn the basic rules, learn the three prefixes which get single-syllable treatment, and you should have no problems forming the proper comparative and superlative forms.

Church disputes reach historic levels

Commentary by Don Knebel

For many Christians, Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, said to encompass both the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and his travel tomb, is the holiest place on earth.

Ironically, maintaining peace in this sprawling basilica requires that Muslims hold onto its only key.

In 326 A.D., Emperor Constantine ordered a church built on the site of a Roman temple after his mother, Helena, claimed to have learned during a visit to Jerusalem that the temple covered Jesus’ tomb. During construction, Helena is said to have discovered the “true cross” on which Jesus was crucified and a chapel was built on the site of that discovery. Different Christian groups later built additional chapels near the original church.

During the Crusades, all the structures now constituting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were consolidated under a single roof and a single entrance. Six Christian groups ended up controlling parts of the same building. Because of their different beliefs and traditions, these groups have long squabbled over everything from the theological to the territorial. They have not even been able to agree on which of them should possess the ancient key to the only entrance. As a result, since 1187 the key to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been held by two local Muslim families, one of which opens the church while the other closes it.

Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre arguably is the holiest place on Earth for Christians. (Submitted photo)

In 1853, in an effort to eliminate ongoing disputes, a formal agreement was reached to maintain the status quo. It has not worked. In 2002, a Coptic monk moved a chair about eight inches from its traditional location. The ensuing melee sent 11 people to the hospital. In 2004, another fight broke out after a traditionally closed door was left open.

Before 1853, someone placed a small wooden ladder below a second story window to the right of the entrance. With no agreement on a new lo-

cation, the ladder cannot be moved. In 1964, Pope Paul VI decreed that this so-called “immovable ladder” should stay put until the great schism of 1054 that divides the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches is overcome. The world waits.

Sophistication can be achieved using classic materials Commentary by Randy Sorrell “I’m more interested in movements … things that begin with integrity and that are going to be with us for a long time,” outdoors proclaimed Thomas Keller of the highly fashionable restaurant, French Laundry. The legendary chef was illustrating his disdain for following the latest trend of what’s popular, which succinctly represents our strategic perspective. After all, who wants their customized back yard living space to look like most of the others in their neighborhood?

Elements The featured elegant backyard living space speaks well of Thomas Keller’s respected view and how we love to design, build and landscape. Classic elements, used sparingly and married with a previously installed paver patio, served to remarkably elevate the sophistication.

It’s amazing what a few extra feet around the edge of the patio and fresh furniture placement will do with traffic flow. Suddenly there is ample room for entertaining and relaxing.

Special neighborhoods, like the Villages of West Clay, call for a special palate of materials.

The trusted Indiana limestone employed for the modern seat walls and columns was gently tumbled to soften the edges and add a volume of warmth. Historic feeling Pennsylvania slate in BFTH_current_quarter_pg_ad_Layout 9/25/13 soft blues and grays adds color, drama 1and flow

Make a splash with your tiles Commentary by David Decker

A tile backsplash is one of the first things that catches the viewer’s eye when they enter a kitchen, so it’s easy to see why a new indoors backsplash can instantly refresh the feel of your kitchen. A tile backsplash can tie together multiple elements of the kitchen - such as the cabinetry, walls and countertops - together into a cohesive design. Since it’s possible to switch out a backsplash without moving cabinetry or appliances, this upgrade makes an effective weekend remodel project.

Once you’ve recorded the measurements of your available wall space, you can start looking for design inspirations. What kind of style are you trying to create in your kitchen? Keep the other elements of the kitchen in mind when selecting the tile. The right tile can bring out a new, creative aspect to your kitchen aesthetic, but be sure not to overpower the room with a design that’s too busy or distracting. The best backsplashes will work to enhance the look of your kitchen without being a visual distraction.

• Size: Backsplash tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t feel confined to the old 4 x 4-inch or 6 x 6-inch standard tile sizes of yesterday. Select larger tiles if you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate an intricate, yet cohesive design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitchen.

• Shape: Square has always been the standard shape for tile, which is why some designers are thinking outside the box (literally) and creating tiles that are rectangular, circular or other innovative shapes.

• Color: Keep in mind the color of your countertops as you are choosing a tile color.

Complex and colorful backsplashes look best when paired with solid countertops, and vice versa.

• Material: Backsplashes can be constructed from ceramic, stone, glass, metal, porcelain and more. Inventively mixing different materials is sure to attract visual attention. And don’t forget to play close attention to textures.

• Direction: Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the backsplash. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern, innovative style.

Effective lighting is the best way to highlight your new, innovative backsplash design. Installing under-cabinet lighting can illuminate and showcase the tiles. Most under-cabinet lighting uses either LED or florescent models. You may want to do some research on what type would be best for your kitchen. Not only will undercabinet lighting make your backsplash look more beautiful, it will also provide task lighting to help with cooking or food preparation.

The best backsplash designs enhance your kitchen cabinetry and countertops while acting as a visually exciting decorative component. Pay attention to the details and don’t be afraid to try something new.
