Ramp from 146th St. to south Keystone planned

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Those who have long desired access from 146th Street to southbound Keystone Parkway are a step transportation closer to getting their wish.

City of Carmel Engineer Jeremy Kashman said his department is working closely with the Hamilton County Highway Dept. on a ramp project to extend Lowes Way south from 146th Street over Keystone Parkway and connect to a new ramp to southbound Keystone Parkway.

Construction on Phase 1 is projected to start in April 2018 and be complete in October 2019. The estimated cost is $12 million.

“As part of a second phase, the new Lowes Way extension will go further south and east to Range Line Road,” Kashman said. “We see this as a positive step to provide more access to Keystone Parkway, particularly for traffic heading to Carmel High School. This new ramp should alleviate some of the congestion we currently see at the roundabout interchange at 136th Street and Keystone Parkway.”

Kashman said Phase 2 will also provide easier access to the Carmel Arts & Design District.

“The city is currently upgrading Range Line Road from 8th Street north to the U.S. 31 overpass, making it much better for bicycle and pedestrian traffic,” Kashman said. “The

reconstructed Range Line Road will provide new multi-use paths that will connect with Clay Terrace Boulevard and will also continue along Lowes Way to 146th Street.”

Phase 1 design and construction costs will

be funded using TIF (tax Increment financing) district revenues, along with funds from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, according to City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely. This would be from the TIF district at Clay Terrace, from which proceeds go to Hamilton County.

The city and the county jointly applied for federal CMAQ construction funds for Phase 2. The funding plan is to utilize the TIF to fund the remaining portion and then split whatever is remaining. The city included $1.6 million in a 2016 bond to help with the construction of Phase 2. As part of the Range Line Road project, the city is constructing the roundabout that will eventually connect with Phase 2.

INDOT media relations director Nathan Riggs said if the ramp had originally been placed in the right-of-way between Clay Terrace and Lowes, it would likely have required building a long fly-over bridge.

“Bridges are expensive to build and expensive to maintain, so there is that cost,” Riggs said.

Riggs said Lowes Way is not in INDOT’s right-of-way, so building a bridge there would have incurred additional cost. He said those costs combined with how much traffic would use that option led to it being determined too cost prohibitive at the time.

3 juveniles linked to damage at Coxhall Gardens

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Three juveniles have been connected to criminal mischief at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel that caused $5,000 public safety in damages, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

Hamilton County parks personnel discovered the damage after the park had closed Aug. 1. Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies

detained four juveniles discovered near the damaged property.

A Sheriff’s Office report states the juveniles are allegedly responsible for smashing decorative lights, pushing over benches and vandalizing signs throughout the park.

Investigators also are trying to determine if the incident is related to other vandalism reports during the last three months at Coxhall Gardens. In a press release, Allen Patterson, director of Hamilton County Parks, estimated the property had approximately

$14,000 in damages this summer. Damaged and destroyed items included chairs, lights and plants.

The Sheriff’s Office said the case is under review by the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office.

HCSO provides security to the county’s 12 parks. Security cameras are placed throughout the park to monitor the properties.

Anyone with information relevant to the Coxhall Gardens criminal mischief cases can contact HCSO at 317-773-1872.

City aims to sell, redevelop site

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel is looking to tear down the police communications center in the Carmel Arts & Dearts district sign District and build a multi-story, mixeduse building in its place. The five people working at the building — which can be used as a backup 911 center for the county in an emergency — would be relocated.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said several years ago Carmel had its own 911 center there but now the county handles those operations in Noblesville. As a result, Carmel’s building isn’t fully utilized.

“It’s far more space than they need, and it’s in an expensive location,” Brainard said.

The building, which is at the northeast corner of Main Street and First Avenue NW, directly east of Sophia Square, is behind The Carmel Arts Council Gallery. There’s also some public parking available. Brainard said it doesn’t make sense to operate a government office on such a valuable property right next to apartments and restaurants in a part of town with frequent street festivals. The City of Carmel has issued a minimum asking price of $1,224,000, which

is the average of two appraisals. Brainard said the property is a likely candidate for a private-public partnership, meaning the developer could pay less than the asking price if it invests in public infrastructure, such as parking.

Brainard said he would like to see highquality architecture in whatever is built.

“I could easily see a condo with ground floor development,” he said.

Brainard said the building would be small compared to others in the district, possibly with a couple dozen condo units.

Brainard said some developers want to relocate the Carmel Arts Council Gallery, which has been moved before. He said he likes the gallery in that location but doesn’t want to commit to anything. He said he’d like to see plans that keep the gallery where it is.

Brainard said the county plans to use a building in Fishers for a new backup 911 center, and the City of Carmel’s communications crew will ultimately move to the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters when a planned expansion is complete. In the meantime, Brainard said the city employees would work out of leased space elsewhere.

City purchases Mohawk Landing

Just north of 151st Street on Oak Road

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

MODEL HOME GRAND OPENING NOVEMBER 4, 2017 We are excited to showcase our brand-new model, “The Hart” in this one of a kind location. Maple Ridge has breathtaking scenery with striking custom homes.

The City of Carmel has agreed to buy the Mohawk Landing shopping center, a 35-year-old strip redevelopment mall plaza on Range Line Road directly east of the Carmel City Center.

Carmel plans to demolish the 2-acre site and work with a developer to construct a multi-story, mixed-use development, likely with residential units or office space on the upper floors and retail on the ground floor.

Carmel purchased the center for $2.8 million. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the city could sell the site to another developer, possibly for less than Carmel paid for the site if it’s a private-public partnership with the developer investing money for public infrastructure such as parking.

“It’s a key corner across from City Center, and it makes sense to have a beautiful building there,” Brainard said. “It makes sense to pull up to the street and make it more walkable.”

Brainard said one reason Carmel purchased the site is because Carmel City Center customers often parked there.

“We purchased it because we’ve been using their parking spaces and it needed to be redesigned so a new configuration can work,” he said.

Brainard said there’s no immediate plan to demolish and replace the building. In the meantime, tenants can stay. It is home to a Pizza Hut, Thai Castle, Kim’s Alterations, O Spa and a National Guard recruiting center.

“We will work with each and every one to keep them in Carmel,” Brainard said.

Brainard said several developers have expressed interest, and he expects to soon turn the property over to the Carmel Redevelopment Commission to allow it to begin working on a plan.

Roundabout agreement approved Compiled by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met Oct. 2 to discuss an agreement with Indianapolis to build roundabouts along 96th Street, temporarily lower a speed limit and more.

OPEN HOUSE

Pre-K, Kindergarten - 8th Grade Thursday, November 2nd (8-11AM) Register for 2018-2019 school year.

Personal tours will be given to you and your children.

CONTACT INFORMATION: Jennifer Podlogar 317-842-1125 or jpodlogar@sldmfishers.org www.sldmfishers.org 11421 Hague Road, Fishers

What happened: The council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement to proceed with construction on roundabouts along 96th Street between Priority Way Drive West and Hazel Dell Parkway.

What it means: After a prolonged battle with Indianapolis City County Councilor Christine Scales, the City of Carmel finally got the go-ahead from Indianapolis to proceed with construction.

The final step was for the Carmel City Council to approve the agreement.

What’s Next: Brainard said he does not have scheduled start dates for construction yet.

What happened: The council voted unanimously to lower the speed limit on Keystone Parkway near the 96th Street project work site.

What it means: The speed limit will temporarily drop from 50 mph to 40 mph. This comes after workers were power-washing the bridge and the lift was hit by a vehicle, leading to two people being injured.

What’s Next: Police will enforce the new speed limit near the work site.

What happened: The Carmel Historical Preservation Commission recommended seven properties be added to the Carmel/Clay Township Historic Properties Survey.

What it means: Any home on this list would be subject to the demolition delay ordinance, which gives the commission time to figure out a way to relocate the home or find other solutions.

What’s Next: The council suspended the rules and voted unanimously to approve the list.

A water main upgrade is under way on Range CONSTRUCTION Line Road between City Center and Executive drives. Once the water main is relocated, traffic will move to the inner lanes of Range Line Road for work on the outer lanes.

Construction is under way for a new roundabout at Fourth Street and Range Line Road.

Gray Road and 126th Street is closed for construction of a roundabout. The project is expected to take 60 days and be open by late October.

City Center Drive and Guilford Road is closed for construction of a roundabout. The project is expected to take 45 days with the intersection reopening in October, weather permitting.

River Road is closed between 146th Street and Community Drive for a reconstruction project expected to last until Thanksgiving. The project will include a two-lane boulevard and a new roundabout at Cherry Creek Boulevard.

Spring Mill Road is closed between 106th and 116th streets. The closure is expected to last through October.

College Wood earns Blue Ribbon

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com College Wood Elementary has been recognized as a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Dept. of education Education. Nationally, 342 public schools received the honor this year.

This is the second time College Wood has received the honor. The last time was in 1985.

The application process is lengthy and limited to a small group of staff at the school level.

“Unveiling it yesterday was a huge surprise to the staff. We were able to gather the staff after school and have a whole celebration in the media center,” College Wood Principal Kathy Olssen said. “They were unaware of what the surprise could be.

Everyone was excited and elated to have this nationally recognized award. It was an affirmation of all the hard work they do every day at school. It really put smiles on their faces.”

To be chosen, schools must rank in the top 15 percent of all schools on ISTEP assessments in both reading and mathematics.

The staff at College Wood Elementary celebrate being named a Blue Ribbon School. (Submitted photo)

“It has a lot to do with the curriculum we’re picking, the way we are training our teachers to deliver that curriculum, the efforts they put in to analyze the data of every individual child, setting differentiated goals and following through with those goals,” Olssen said.

The national award ceremony is Nov. 6-7 in Washington, D.C. Olssen and Assistant Principal Alissa Carmichael will attend.

The school will plan its own celebration that week.

Olssen said the award isn’t just for the school but the community.

“I want to make sure the staff, students and parents feel this is completely an award for all of them,” Olssen said. “It takes a village.”

Last year, Bob Raduchel dusted off the bike he’d set aside 16 years ago when the first of his two achievement sons were born. He replaced the knobby tires with street slicks and started riding again.

“I was happy to ride 8 miles at first.

Within a couple of months I could ride 100 kilometers without a problem,” he said. “I pounded out a lot of miles last year that was predominately north, south, east, west or the Monon.”

But those rides got a bit stale after awhile, so Raduchel, 49, decided to do something more difficult with different scenery: Ride every street in Carmel. The first leg was on a warm day in February.

The majority of the legs were June through August. He finished just before Labor Day, logging a total of 1,230 miles.

To plan his route, Raduchel used Under Armour’s Map My Ride app, which tracked and saved the streets he rode on a visual map. He tried to do at least 1 square mile at a time but had a couple instances where he

missed a tiny section and had to ride back to the neighborhood to clear it. Each ride started from his house near 96th Street and Shelborne Road.

“It occurred to me that I could just drive to a part of town and ride it but decided that would be cheating,” he said. “The in-

teresting thing about the journey is that I would estimate about 50 percent of my miles were on roads ridden twice to dozens of times. There are only so many ways to commute to a neighborhood from my house.”

Raduchel rode about three times a week, usually at night after work (headlight in place), and one day on the weekends, averaging 40 to 70 miles a trip. The average was right around 50 miles, with the longest ride at 85 miles.

“Night riding in Carmel is a blast. There is almost zero traffic on the main roads, and the neighborhoods have virtually none.

Plus, it is a lot cooler out,” Raduchel said. “I only got caught in a storm twice.”

There are a few roads, however, he won’t ride again, including 96th Street on the west side, calling the fast traffic on a narrow road “the worst.”

As for what’s next, Raduchel said he’s burned out on the neighborhoods, so he is considering some longer distance riding.

“After doing 85 miles in the neighborhoods one evening, 100 on the open road should be a piece of cake,” he said. “After that I’m not sure, maybe shoot for 5,000 total miles next year.”

Food Rescue celebrates 10 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County-based Food Rescue on Sept. 20 celebrated 10 years of securing unused food from school cafeterias and serving families in giving back need. The organization serves all public schools in Hamilton County and more than 500 schools nationwide.

“We looked back on our history,” Lead Program Director Jennifer Carmack-Brilliant said. “We started out as an organization that rescued food from restaurants, and in 2014 we turned our attention to the astronomical waste happening in school cafeterias. We focused on grades K through 12. We partner schools with carrying agencies to food pantries to rescue unopened, unwanted items from student trays.

“We have a very strong presence in Hamilton County, and in some of our schools, Westfield Washington in particular and Zionsville schools as well, our life skills students are using food rescue as a unique application of the life skills program,” Carmack-Brilliant said. “These are kids who normally aren’t thought of being able to volunteer or help when in fact they’re very

able, and through Food Rescue they are finding empowerment.”

Carmack-Brilliant said Food Rescue will focus on expanding and evolving for its future and utilizing a $25,000 grant it received. “(The grant) will be used to expand our presence with videos, and the exciting thing is we will soon be offering start-up kits to all schools and everything they need with an elementary-focused program to help get schools started and engaged,” she said.

Carmel resident Laura Moehling, second from left, in Haiti in 2015. (Submitted photos)

Carmel’s Laura Moehling works to improve hygiene, health in Haiti

By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com After making several trips to Haiti, Laura Moehling felt the need to do something to help the nation’s poorest residents get access to one of life’s necesCOVER STORY sities: clean water.

The Carmel resident said only half of the residents have access to clean water and basic sanitation systems.

“That’s a bad combination, because without a toilet, they defecate in the open and also in the rivers and streams, which pollutes drinking water,” she said.

So in 2010 Moehling became the director of operations for Gift of Water, a nonprofit that provides a simple, twobucket system to purify water.

“I felt that the Haitian people could best solve their own problems if they were healthy enough to do that, and so I thought pure water, clean water, would give them the ability to tackle their own challenges,” she said.

The organization has brought its clean water systems to many new sites since then, but the need is still great.

Since Hurricane Matthew in 2016, there has been a 50 percent increase in reported cholera cases in Haiti, according to the World Health Organization. Cholera is an intestinal infection caused by consuming contaminated food or water. Drinking contaminated water can also lead to viral diseases, parasitic diseases, malnourishment and more.

The first drops

Gift of Water was launched in 1995 by a Purdue engineer who, after medical missions trips to Haiti, realized that many of the nation’s diseases were linked to ingesting contaminated water. He and his wife created a two-bucket water purifying system based on a British system from the 1800s. Under their leadership, Gift of Water served more than 100 villages.

The Florida-based board of directors ran the organization until 2009, but it grew to such an extent that the founders began looking for others to run it. Moehling and Pete Murphy, who now serves as president of Gift of Water, and others brought the organization to Carmel in 2010.

“The original nonprofit organization was closing down, leaving many Haitian communities without a source for clean water,” Murphy said. “Since I was between jobs, I felt this was something that I could help rectify with the help of others.”

Since then, Gift of Water has provided 25,000 purifiers in 50 communities and maintained those that were already in place.

groups of people how to keep their family and community healthy by having water treatment, proper sanitation and practicing good hygiene.”

Water technicians visit households each month to ensure those healthy practices are being followed to prevent illness.

Purifying Process The red bucket is filled with dirty water, where it rests for 30 minutes with a chlorine tablet to kill viruses and bacteria.

Gift of Water President Pete Murphy, right, in Haiti.

How it works

Haitians gather at a central location in their community to pick up a purifier and take it home. Each system produces 5 gallons of purified water, which Moehling said covers the average household of six people for one day.

Sponsor organizations pay $30 for each system placed in the Haitian community they support. Haitian families pay 75 cents per month to purchase chlorine tablets and $1 every three years to replace the filters.

Gift of Water also trains some Haitians to become water technicians so they can teach others how to use the system and create a healthy community.

“They can go into the community and teach in the schools and other places,” Moehling said. “They can teach

The red bucket is placed on top of the gray bucket to engage a check valve, which allows the water to flow through both filters.

The 1 micron filter removes parasites and dirt. The carbon filter removes chlorine and heavy metals.

HOW TO HELP Volunteers are critical to the success of Gift of Water.

“Not only is our board of directors an all-volunteer board, but the manufacturing and assembling of our water purifiers are completely done by volunteers,” President Pete Murphy said. “We are extremely grateful to all those that help with our mission.”

Gift of Water is always looking for more volunteers, donations and new sponsor organizations to join its efforts. For more, visit giftofwater.org.

The gray bucket also contains a small chlorine tablet to maintain the bucket as a safe storage space.

o b s e r v a tion Pass the broccoli

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Brush your teeth. Eat your vegetables.

Go to bed. Each of these may remind us of childhood. If we are lucky, we had an adult in our lives who cared enough to prompt, scold and cajole us into forming habits that would be good for us – eventually. Yet, why did they seem to care so much if we skipped a plate of greens? Sometimes, it seemed they just liked to argue!

Then, as life has a way of doing, our perspectives change. We move from the role of child to adult and begin to care more about the health and well-being of those around us. Broccoli is part of a balanced diet. It is filled with fiber, vitamin C and calcium.

Perhaps when our parents forced us to eat it, they were showing as much love as antagonism. Sure, a tired, sugar-buzzed child with a toothache is no joy to be around. So, self-interest may have served a modicum of motivation to our adults. But most of the benefits of good habits don’t come until much later.

As years passed, our own children have formed the necessary practices to live right; and, we don’t spend as much time directing them. Today’s admonishments are more likely to be shine your shoes or payoff your monthly credit card balance. Is our work done?

This week, a dental hygienist reminded me to floss more often; an internist urged that I eat less salt; and a trainer told me to work on my flexibility – every day! Have we become children again, needy of reminders and encouragement? Or, have we benefitted from the support all along – our busy lives and constant distractions simply keeping us from taking note? Who knows, but I think I’ll order broccoli for lunch.

Shop Talk Lessons learned from the Dukes of Hazzard Commentary by Jason Peek As I watch all the dysfunction, hate, disrespect, violence and all the divisions going on I find myself getting away from the news and watching an old TV show that makes me happy and sets a tone for my personal life.

I started re-watching the Dukes of Hazzard, because as I grew up it was always a show that made me think about my actions and learn to have respect.

When Mattel said it would never make another General Lee car with the Confederate flag on top, it led me to put out a public challenge on Facebook. I took a picture of me with my die-cast car and asked for anyone to show me one season, one episode or even one word of racism on the show, and I would destroy that car live on Facebook.

I didn’t get one negative response, because there is none. In fact, if you watch the show you see a family that sits at the dinner table together, respects

their elders, family and all who come in contact with them.

They even do the right thing even if they are getting wronged by others. Another guy named Jesus did that, also. There is no sex, no one dies and in the end doing the right thing prevails. They pray together and are always helping others. So what would be wrong with that? Nothing.

Spend your time helping and doing the right thing and just live your life while you let others live theirs, as long as you’re not infringing on each other. Love is what works, folks, not hate and greed and entitlement.

Hear ye, hear ye, people of Indianapolis Suburbia: I’ve been living a lie! For years I’ve been telling myself — and humor everyone else — that I am a great listener. That I can empathize with the best of the rest. That I’m the gal you want in the moment of emotional upheaval and/or breakdown. Wrong! According to a highly accurate online quiz, not only do I rank in the lower third, but more than half the time, I break all the rules of good listening. In other words, I’m on par with my husband, Doo, who suffers from ADD and is hearing-impaired in one ear.

What I’m actually good at is tolerating the inane babble of strangers, particularly those I encounter in the Meijer check-out line, and showing just enough polite interest to get them talking about their impending plastic surgery or grandson’s wife No. 3. Even I won’t deny that I have a certain je ne sais quoi for making mere acquaintances feel comfortable enough to divulge the dark and highly amusing secrets of their lives. But this people-whispering ability is not good listening, and when it comes to friends and family, even it disappears.

To wit, I frequently interrupt my colleagues when they are sharing an idea.

I almost always try to one-up Doo after he tells me about his cruddy day at work.

And I usually begin planning my next trip abroad or check how many likes my latest Facebook photo has received as soon as my mom launches into a retelling of her latest retirement adventure. No empathy, no true listening.

I hear you, online quiz! And I vow to do better.

Peace out.

A kneedy patient Commentary by Dick Wolfsie (As it might have been written by Mary Ellen.)

Dick has been home this humor past week on the living room couch, recuperating from knee replacement surgery. I am his designated coach, responsible for taking care of him and ensuring that he does all the required exercises and maintains a healthy diet. After all, that’s what wives are for.

I’m prepared to respond to anything Dick might need. Uh, could you excuse me for a second? He’s calling me. “Yes, of course, sweetheart, I’ll get you a glass of water.

That’s what I’m here for. There you go.”

So, as I was about to say, my husband is a very good patient and I’m sure that — “What’s that, Dear? Yes, I got the water from the tap. Oh, you wanted bottled water? Of course, that would be my pleasure.

Funny, you usually say bottled water is a big waste of money. Let me just run to the store. I want to be sure you are happy.”

Sorry for the interruption. Now, for some — “What, Dick? You want another pillow? I’ll get you one. Here you go. Yes, it’s a down pillow. For 40 years we’ve used down pil-

lows. But now, all of a sudden you feel like a foam rubber pillow? Well, not a problem, let me just go down in the basement crawl space and look through 25 years of cobwebs and see if there might be one. Here you go. Maybe this will make you happy!

Sorry, I mean: I sincerely hope this makes you happy, dear.”

Readers, I’m sorry for the interruptions.

But it’s very important to be supportive — “I’ll be right there, Dick. No, I didn’t realize that a bulb in our cathedral ceiling was out.

Actually, I never even noticed we had lights up there, but then I’m not lying on my back with absolutely nothing to do all day but think of things … sorry, let me get a new bulb and then see if I can find someone in the neighborhood with a 20-foot ladder.”

I must say that Dick has been very grateful for all my help. He even told me the other day that I was “irreplaceable.” I wish the doctor had felt that way about his knee.

Lil Bloomers is made up of 17 local artists, owner Shauna Metzger said.

“We are a storefront Etsy shop. Several of these makers are moms, retired teachers, grandmas just trying to make some extra money,” Metzger said. “We love being able to support our local economy as much as we can. We also carry several children’s boutique brands.”

Etsy stores sell products that are handmade or one-of-a-kind items by indepen-

dent makers or crafters.

“We also have a program called 4 Kids By Kids. This program encourages students to make products for kids, such as shirts, dresses, headbands,” Metzger said. “Each item the students make they get to keep 100 percent of their profit to use towards their own creative entrepreneurship.”

Lil Bloomers has two other locations in downtown Noblesville and Brown County’s Heritage Mall.

First Harvest owner Kimmie Bridges travels across the nation to bring hot and trendy styles to Indianapolis, with 10 percent of profits going to women recovering from abuse, addiction, sex trafficking and more.

“We’ve also started designing our own clothing line as well that has a preppy vibe,” Bridges said. “You’ll find a section dedicated to our designs and pieces made here locally in Indiana.”

First Harvest Boutique started a year ago online. Since then it has opened satellite locations inside of Carmel’s MDG Salon and downtown Indianapolis.

Regular mall hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays noon to 6 pm.

Commentary by Jon Quick The world of advertising is full of deceptive claims. Some of them are just plain bogus. advertising You see them every day. Fine print at the bottom of a TV ad that you could never read, especially since it appears for about two seconds. Even if you stopped the picture and tried to read it, you can’t. The attempt here is to provide a legal disclaimer as required by the Federal Trade Commission, which regulates advertising. Or tries.

I recently sent out my team of “investigators” (two smart interns) to find local examples of downright deception.

A fast food place that is famous for a snack named after a raging snowstorm says in advertising that the treat will be served upside down or it’s free. At the store, it says the same thing in a large sign at the drive-thru. But try to claim it. At three separate locations, the answer was the same: “We don’t participate in that,” or “We don’t do that anymore.” Turns out, at the bottom of the sign there is extremely fine print that says, “at participating restaurants only.” No way can you read that from your car. Yet the ad rolls on. The sign is still up as of this writing.

Next stop, a famous hamburger stand where there was another sign: “Your apple pie is free if we don’t ask if you want one.”

No one ever did. We requested our free pie on several occasions. One reply: “Let me ask the manager.” The manager answered: “That’s an old offer.” Others graciously produced the free pie with a smile. Next time, the pie sign was replaced with “free cookies or chicken” if we don’t ask. We asked.

We got one chicken bite.

A car dealer’s TV ad: “No Money Down, $99 a month lease.” The visual was an economy car. The next shot was a fancy pick-up and $129 flashed on the screen. We called the dealership saying we are interested in the pick-up for no money down.

He said, “That requires $3,999 down.” When asked about the ad, he said it’s all stated in the disclosure (fine print no one can read).

“Deceptive,” we responded. “Tell ya’ what, come on in and we’ll take good care of you.”

Sure. Sorry, no deal.

Some groups — like lawyers and doctors — police themselves with tough ethical regulations on advertising. They can’t say things like “Best,” or “Lowest Price.” Imagine a doctor that says, “Best brain surgery in town. Quick service. Lowest prices.”

Wonder what his small print would say.

Help your baby sleep safely Commentary by Diana Garino Nationally, approximately 3,500 infants die unexpectedly each year, often during sleep. Indiana has the parenting 10th-highest infant mortality rate in the U.S. October is Safe Sleep Awareness Month, and every parent wants to ensure the safety of his or her baby.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the sudden, unexpected death of an infant, and it’s one of the top three causes of infant death in Indiana and the U.S. SIDS most commonly occurs within a period of sleep. How a baby sleeps has an affect on his or her risk of a sleep-related death.

Practicing safe sleep techniques can help parents understand and remember the most important things to do to ensure their baby’s safety.

IU Health encourages parents to follow the ABCs of safe sleep: All by myself, on my Back, in my Crib.

• All by myself – The safest way for babies to sleep is by themselves.

This helps prevent smothering. To keep your baby close, put his crib or bassinet next to your bed.

• On my Back – Babies are less likely to choke when lying on their back.

There is less of a risk of “spit up” getting in their wind pipe. Put your baby on his tummy often to prevent a flat spot on the back of his head.

When practicing “tummy time,” make sure he is wide awake.

• In my Crib – Sleeping flat in cribs, bassinets or playpens is safest. This keeps your baby from “slumping” and blocking his airway. Keep the crib empty so your baby does not suffocate.

By teaching families how to practice safe sleep habits, we can increase positive outcomes for Hoosier babies.

Diana Garino is a childbirth education coordinator at IU Health North Hospital. For more information about safe sleep techniques, or about childbirth education programs offered at IU Health North Hospital, call 317-688-2465.

Hypoglycemia and diabetes — Everyone knows about high blood sugar and the devastating effects it can have on one’s health. But low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can be just as dangerous. Hypoglycemia can be a precursor to diabetes that is often downplayed by doctors and/or missed by tests. Having low blood sugar might even make you think that you are far from having diabetes when, in fact, the opposite is true. If you think you might have hypoglycemia, call your doctor.

No more UTIs — Here are the best ways for women and men to avoid these common infections: 1. Visit the bathroom frequently. Holding urine can distend and irritate the bladder.

2. Drink lots of water to flush bacteria from the intestinal tract.

3. Eat yogurt. The good bacteria can improve the overall health of the digestive system.

‘Homecoming’ boasts strong area ties

Beef & Boards presents ‘Pinocchio’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

editorial@youarecurrent.com

This “Homecoming” is a real family affair.

Mark A. Nash directed it and his wife Shani Salyers Stiles and stepsons Owen, 12, and Max Stiles, 11, all had acting roles.

Nash, a Carmel resident and a member of the Screen Actors Guild, also has a small role in a flashback scene in the movie.

The 20-minute film, which won dramatic film short at the Alhambra Film Festival in Evansville, is being considered for the Heartland Film Festival’s Indiana Spotlight Award.

The Heartland Film Festival is Oct. 12 through Nash 22 at Indianapolis venues.

Bruce Northern, a Geist resident, wrote the movie and is one of the four producers, along with Amy Pauszek, Geist, Dan Cavallini, Noblesville and Steven Durgarn, Shelbyville. Pauszek’s Where’s Amy column is featured in Current.

“Homecoming” will be screened at 2:45 p.m. Oct. 13 and 12:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at AMC Castleton Square 14. It will be shown at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at AMC Showplace Traders Point 12.

“It was fun to actually have my family involved in the movie.

That was pretty cool,” said Nash, a finance manager at a motorcycle dealership who has been in the film industry for 20 years.

Owen is in the seventh grade and Max is in sixth grade at Creekside Middle School.

“Both have been curious about acting for some time but this is the first movie they have been in,” Nash said.

The movie, which won the best dramatic short, is about a successful country music star who left his hometown to find success. His ex-fiancee dies in the movie and he comes back to pay his respects at the funeral.

“He chased a dream and got tied up in the music industry with groupies,” Nash said. “He broke his ex-fiancee’s heart. He comes back with a heavy heart.”

Stiles plays the ex-fiancee in a flashback role and Owen plays her son. Max plays the country star as a child in another flashback

The Beef & Boards Pyramid Players will present “Pinocchio,” the classic tale of the wooden puppet who yearns to be a real boy.

“Pinocchio” will be the final production of the year of the Live Theatre for Kids series at Beef & Boards. The performances are set from Oct. 13 to Nov. 11. The Pyramid Players production are an hour long and presented without intermission. The shows are designed for all ages but especially designed for children in preschool through kindergarten.

The performances are set for 10 a.m.

Fridays and 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturdays.

scene.

Matt Chistman, a former Indianapolis resident who lives in Los Angeles, plays the country star.

“My goal is to get more SAG projects in Indiana,” Nash said.

Salyers Stiles, an Indiana University graduate from Greenwood, started acting when she was 11. She was cast in “Pushed Too Far” with Claude Akins in 1988. “(For) about five years I did film and television and found a network of people,” she said. “Mark and I met on a set, actually. I got my SAG eligible a couple of years ago. For me to join, I knew the work will take me out of state more often than I can commit to with my young children. But they’re getting older, so that might change, especially if I can get a project up for what I want to do.”

Salyers Stiles, who works as a business process analyst and web editor for Indiana University, said she likes that “Homecoming” is a redemptive story.

“At first you don’t like this (country star) much, but as the movie goes on you realize there was this friendship between my character and his,” Salyers Stiles said. “They loved each other but he chose to leave everyone behind. It’s a really endearing story. Bruce wrote a wonderful story.”

Owen has performed in a couple of commercials.

“He will probably pursue acting between the two of them,” Salyers Stiles said. “He’s a natural for it.”

When: Oct. 12 to 22 across Indianapolis. There will be 16 U.S. or world premiere special events hosted at AMC Castleton Square 14.

This year’s theme is “A Night of Magic, Mystery, and Dreams.” It will be held in the CHS freshmen cafeteria from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 21. The Accents are an allfemale show choir and Ambassadors are a mixed show choir.

“I love the theme of dreams and imagination this year because I think it captures the spirit of the Carmel Choirs program,” Paul said. “We have the privilege to imagine and then create our own visions with every performance. Cabaret is definitely a wonderful chance to view performances in a more relaxed atmosphere where the

performers have the chance to directly interact with the audience between performances and through the auction process as we fundraise for our year to come.”

Senior Ben Heber, in his third year of Ambassadors, said the casual atmosphere is enjoyed by performers and audience members.

“My favorite part of the evening is watching the solo performances,” Heber said. “It’s a chance for so many talented individuals in our choir program to showcase their best work.”

Along with an array of desserts, a silent auction will be held. Kathrine Kouns, CHS director of choirs, said all money earned from the event supports expenses related to this school year’s competition season, including travel costs, choreography expenses, costumes and contest fees.

Blueprint for Improvement: Pool house with year-round use Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

Before

Background Info: This beautiful home, in the Woods at Lions Creek neighborhood in Carmel, was built in 2011. The home is perfect for the owners and their family, but the family needed shade and space to entertain by the pool.

The owner’s goal was to add a new pool house structure for year-round entertainment. Creating a pool house with kitchenette and a full bathroom allows them to spend time with their family and entertain guests.

1. The pool house is equipped with a full kitchen, half bathroom, shower room and laundry room.

2. Incorporating a grill and bar seating in the patio of the pool house allowed for the owners to entertain guests outdoors.

3. The addition of a stone fire pit was a perfect way for the owners to create a space where family and friends could gather during the evening.

4. Additional changes included outdoor fans, grill island, and functional storage solutions.

5. For additional details, please visit our blog!

The backyard had plenty of space but was a blank slate. The home had a small deck that lacked space for the family to entertain. There was no shade and no place to grill out and store pool accessories.

Sometimes I get tripped up by words so similar they might as well be the same word. It’s like the grammar guy movies “The Illusionist” and “The Prestige.” Both came out in 2006. Both are about magicians. They should have only made one of them. This is how I also feel about the words “affect” and “effect.” Allow me to offer some ways to remember when to use each word correctly.

Affect starts with “a,” which stands for action. An affect changes something.

Usually, affect is a verb. I have never been affected by lackluster Ben Affleck flicks.

Movies have the potential to change us.

However, when you’re cranking out duds like “Gigli” and “Daredevil,” the only thing being affected is my will to live. This is fun.

Effect is the result of the affect’s change. Usually, effect is a noun. Here’s an example: “The special effects in Nicolas Cage’s portrayal of ‘Ghost Rider’ made me want to take my face off.” Or how about: “Side effects of watching Nicolas Cage’s ‘Wicker Man’ include massive disappointment and the feeling you’ll never get those

two hours of your life back.” Don’t get me wrong – I love many Nic Cage films. He’s appeared in 87 movies, and roughly 13 of them are fantastic.

Do you think you understand affect/ effect now? Great. It’s time for some exceptions (thanks, English). Occasionally, “affect” can be a noun and “effect” can be a verb. As a noun, “affect” means a feeling or emotional response. For example: “When I watched ‘Fantastic Four’ in theaters, my affect was upset and angry. As a verb, “effect” means “to bring about.” An example: “If you really want to effect change in America, build a time machine and tell them to never make ‘From Justin to Kelly.’”

Who knew you could learn grammar by reminiscing about movies you’re too proud to admit you checked out from Blockbuster (back when that was a thing)? I actually kind of liked Spiderman 3; it had quite the affect on me.

715 E. Carmel Drive, Carmel, IN 46032 • 317.573.4400 Statue of Lincoln in London’s Parliament Square. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Lincoln statue in London Commentary by Don Knebel London’s Parliament Square lies west of the Palace of Westminster, the seat of Parliament, and north of Westtravel minster Abbey. As a result, many visitors to London walk through the square, where they encounter a magnificent statue of Abraham Lincoln in front of the Supreme Court Building.

Guides never tell the complete story of the statue’s history.

The 12-foot high statue depicts Lincoln rising from a chair, apparently about to begin a speech. It is a replica of a statue in Chicago’s Lincoln Park created by American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who had seen Lincoln both alive and lying in state.

More important, he had access to a life mask and casts of Lincoln’s hands made in 1860. As a result, his statue is remarkably lifelike. When the statue, called “The Man” or “The Standing Lincoln,” was unveiled in 1887 before a crowd that included 14-yearold Abraham Lincoln II, Lincoln’s only grandson, the Saturday Evening Post called it “the most important achievement American

sculpture has yet produced.”

In May 1914, committees from England and the United States had agreed to place a replica of “The Man” in Parliament Square to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812. Another war intervened and the project was shelved until 1917, when a new plan contemplated substituting a replica of another standing Lincoln statue, this one by George Gray Barnard, for the Saint-Gaudens version. When Lincoln’s son Robert learned of the proposed switch, he was appalled.

The Barnard sculpture, the original of which was in Cincinnati, had already been ridiculed as the “stomach ache statue” because of the curious placement of Lincoln’s hands. The committee went back to the original plan and the Saint-Gaudens replica was dedicated in July 1920. The stomach ache statue was diverted to Manchester.
