Administrators’ leaves not tied to students, crime

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees has put Supt. Nicholas Wahl and Human Resources Director Corinne education Middleton on administrative leave.

The board announced Wahl’s leave at its Oct. 9 work session meeting. CCS spokeswoman Courtney Taylor confirmed Oct. 11 that Middleton had also been put on leave. Both leaves went into Wahl effect Oct. 10. Neither Wahl nor Middleton was at the Oct. 9 meeting, and neither responded to requests for comment.

Taylor said that neither Wahl’s nor Middleton’s leaves involved interactions with CCS students and that police have not been asked to assist with the situations.

Board President Layla Spanenberg read a statement during the Oct. 9 meeting.

“The Board is undertaking a thorough review of its district leadership and believes that its action today will enable it to complete this review more quickly and in a manner that respects the confidentiality of

its employees’ personnel matters. Because of these confidentiality concerns, the Board will not make further comment on this until it has finished its review.”

Spanenberg said after the meeting she did not know how long the review process will take but that it would go “more efficiently and effectively” if Wahl was on leave. The review is being conducted by CCS attorneys.

Both administrators will receive pay and benefits during their leaves. According to Wahl’s contract, signed in August 2013, his annual salary is Middleton $195,000, and it may increase each year. He also is eligible to receive up to 12 percent of his base salary in incentives.

Wahl’s contract states his employment with CCS may be terminated for immorality, failure to maintain a valid superintendent’s license, unexcused and pervasive failure to perform his duties or any other cause for termination of contract under Indiana law.

The contract defines immorality as “conduct objectively and materially offensive to the moral standards of the CCS community that the Superintendent is expected to establish and maintain.”

CCS board policy lists administrative leave as a “progressive discipline” measure. It is not used for incidents that include reporting for work under the influence of drugs or alcohol, insubordination, criminal incidents, arrests, threats or harassment.

Court records show that Wahl filed for divorce in May and that Middleton filed for divorce in August. CCS officials declined to comment on whether the two administrators potentially had been or are involved in a romantic relationship.

Adam Baker, a spokesperson for the Indiana Dept. of Education, said that he was not aware of a state statute prohibiting administrators from having such a relationship.

“It would more or less fall to the school and whether they have a policy preventing it,” he said. “If there is no policy, then it could fall to the school board to raise concern.”

Asst. Supt. of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Amy Dudley and Associate Supt. of Business Affairs Roger McMichael jointly are serving as interim superintendents while Wahl is on leave. Taylor said that includes overseeing the HR department.

The school board has scheduled a special session for noon Oct. 18 at the Educational Services Center.

Neighbors concerned about power line plan

Duke Energy is proposing several new power lines that have some neighbors concerned about tree removal, energy unsightly poles and cancer potentially caused by proximity to lines. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and several city councilors have already said they plan to fight the installation of the lines.

“We have notified Duke we passed an ordinance requiring all new lines to be buried,” Brainard said. “I suspect they will sue us, but it should delay it at the very least. The real problem is that privately owned monopolies don’t work.”

Duke Energy said in a release that “residential and commercial growth in Carmel has increased the demand for electric energy,” and as a result, a new 69-kV power line will feed a new 12-kV distribution substation to be built on property acquired by Duke Energy along Rohrer Road. The transmission corridor is about a half-mile long.

Carmel City Councilor Bruce Kimball said that it’s possible that a 30-foot row of trees could be removed in several locations, including along the Monon Greenway.

“Burying the utilities is important not only to protect the tree canopies but also to protect homeowners and the negative effect it will have on their homes,” Kimball said.

Angeline Protogere, a strategic public relations consultant for Duke Energy, said that the company held a public information open house Sept. 12 to share different route options and explain the project. At the request of an area homeowner’s association, Duke Energy also met again with some residents.

“We are gathering public input for a project that’s important to maintain reliable electric service in the area,” she said. “Hamilton County is growing, with new homes and expanding businesses, and we need to improve and upgrade our electric system to keep up.”

In the summer, the City of Carmel passed an ordinance requiring new utility lines to be buried but hasn’t had to enforce that ordinance yet.

Protogere stated that ordinance might not apply here.

“The ordinance passed by the City of Carmel is based on a statute that was intended to apply to permitting for small cell telecommunications facilities and not energy utilities,” she said. “Because electric service is considered a necessity and zoning ordinances can vary from one city to the next and can interfere with the ability to provide electric service, under settled Indiana law it’s the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission that regulates utilities, not local ordinances.”

Brainard defends strategy in State of City address

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

After more than 20 years in office, what is left for Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard to do?

In his annual State development of the City Speech at Ritz Charles, Brainard said he has plenty more on his to-do list for the city.

“You think the last 20 years have been exciting?” he said. “Think what the next 20 years will bring.”

At an Oct. 11 event hosted by OneZone, the combined chambers of commerce for Carmel and Fishers, Brainard spoke to more than 700 attendees about past accomplishments and outlined his strategy for the future.

Brainard didn’t shy away from the fact that some have criticized him for his use of public debt to fund revitalization projects.

“This is a competitive world, and in order to stay in the game, the City of Carmel needs to continue to be creative, – to stay a step ahead,” he said. “Sometimes this process can lead to controversy.”

Brainard said he and the Carmel City Council members will always listen to residents who have concerns about the debt, but that hasn’t changed his opinion that Carmel has a strong financial projection.

“That doesn’t mean we are governing by public opinion poll,” he said. “Sometimes, even though we listened, we still disagree.”

Some critics have said that Carmel’s debt is approximately $1 billion, including interest, a figure that Brainard has disputed because he doesn’t think interest should necessarily be included in the total.

Regardless, he said one can’t look at debt without considering revenue as well.

“We planned for this,” he said. “We have some of the most intelligent financial advisors a city can have. We have created and continue to update a 25-year fiscal plan that shows us what we can and cannot do

in order to keep our taxes low and credit rating strong. In other words, we have more than enough to pay our bills and remain fiscally strong.”

Brainard recapped some development expected in 2017, 2018 and beyond, including Allied Solutions’ new Midtown headquarters, which will bring more than 600 office workers, Sun King’s first distillery, new headquarters in Midtown for Merchants Bank and MJ Insurance, an expanded Monon Greenway, a public ice skating rink and a luxury boutique hotel next to the Carmel City Center.

Brainard also announced a collective of leaders from a few of Carmel’s tech companies called Carmel Tech Connect.

Some of the companies that have agreed to spearhead this effort include Clinical Architecture, Orchard Software, SEP, Blue Horseshoe, Fat Atom, Clean Slate and Dream Store Media.

“Carmel wants to help facilitate these connections and create opportunities for tech companies to network locally,” Brainard said.

Budget could boost event spending

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s pleased with the turnout for community events organized or supcity news ported by the City of Carmel.

Recently, he said he was walking the streets of the Carmel Arts & Design District, amazed by the hundreds of people out until midnight to watch live music on the closedBrainard off block.

“There were thousands of people out on a Saturday night walking the streets, and that’s good for local businesses,” he said.

As a result, Brainard said he wants to keep the ball rolling. The city plans to increase its spending to support public festivals and community events, although Brainard said he hates to call it “spending,” but rather “investing in our community.”

“It’s about promoting our downtown,” he said.

One purchase that’s being proposed in the 2018 budget is $150,000 for a new, portable stage. Currently, the city leases a stage for events like Late Night on Main.

Brainard said owning one will save money, plus it can be lent to local nonprofits and arts festivals to ease their budgets and support their causes.

“We’ll save money over time by purchasing it,” Brainard said.

The city owns a smaller mobile stage, not big enough for large bands for Late Night on Main, and the 2018 budget proposes spending $9,000 for a new wrap for the mobile stage so it can be aesthetically pleasing.

The 2018 budget also proposes $361,000 to help PorchFest with its 501(c)(3) status filing. There’s also $8,000 proposed for Emily Ehrgott, executive director of the Carmel Clay Historical Society, to be paid to manage PorchFest, $125,000 for the Christkindlmarkt and $60,000 for the city’s ice skating rink.

The 2018 budget also proposed a $135,000 increase to pay for Carmel Arts & Design District web page programming ($45,000), graphic design for promotions ($40,000) and holiday lighting for the area ($50,000).

Beacon Bloom sculpture installed

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The City of Carmel has installed a new roundabout sculpture at 96th Street and Westfield Boulevard. Inside the roundabout, there is a 30-foot-tall, city news 18-foot-wide sculpture called “Beacon Bloom,” which looks like colorful flowers lit up at night.

The cost of the statue, including its base and installation was approximately $352,900, according to the City of Carmel.

“I’ve gotten tremendous responses,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “People have been calling our offices saying they love it. I think over time it will become an iconic part of Carmel.”

The sculpture was created by Anderson-based artist Arlon Bayliss, who was inspired by the study of plant forms.

“I called the new Carmel sculpture Beacon Bloom because it stands at the city’s southern gateway as a beacon … signaling the presence of the roundabout, not with a warning, but with a welcoming expression of hope and growth,” Bayliss said in a statement.

Brainard said he hopes to commission Bayliss again for future work.

“It’s meant to inspire people,” he said. “In some ways, it’s turned out so well I almost wish it was in a more prominent area. But I’ll talk to the artist about similar works in other parts of town.”

Brainard said artwork in the middle of a roundabout is

not only meant to provide a beautiful aesthetic, but also to train motorists to look only left when entering a roundabout. By obstructing the view from the other side of the roundabout, sculptures prevent prevents a motorist from looking across and waiting until a car completely passes around before entering, which Brainard said slows down traffic efficiency in a roundabout.

Brainard said the artwork also is a way to advertise the city.

“One reason we put it there is because people could see it from (I-465) and maybe become curious about what it was,” he said. “This is going to be here for decades. If you buy advertising, it’s over pretty soon. We get a lot of free media when we invest in the community.”

USO volunteer honored

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com

Carmel resident Sandy Hughey received the 2017 Volunteer of the Year award last month at the United achievement Service Organizations of Indiana Five-Star Gala at the J.W. Marriott.

During her 15 years as a USO volunteer, Hughey has been a key team member at the USO’s Indianapolis International Airport facility, which assists more than 10,000 soldiers each Hughey year. She works on the facility’s hygiene project, serves as inventory management team leader and care package specialist, is a part of the Families of the Fallen Response Team, coordinates the CarmelFest military hospitality tent, heads the center’s holiday decorating project and maintains the volunteer photo album.

As a volunteer, Hughey prepares care packages to send to soldiers stationed throughout the world, including Afghanistan, South Korea and Kuwait, assists grieving family members of fallen soldiers as they go through the airport and ensures the USO airport facility is fully-stocked for the soldiers that come through.

“We’re called a home away from home,” Hughey said. “We provide everything for the soldier.”

Hughey said she respects the soldiers and volunteers her time at the USO to show her appreciation for the sacrifices they have made.

“It’s quite an honor to be recognized for a service you love doing,” Hughey said.

A member of Cornerstone Lutheran Church, Hughey also headed the “Christmas in July” care package project through the church’s military ministry. Through the project, Hughey assisted in sending more than 100 care packages to USO centers overseas.

Hughey is a retired real estate broker and previously co-owned Hughey Boats, Inc. with her husband. The Hugheys have three daughters, 10 grandchildren and are expecting their first great-grandson this month.

The USO was started in 1941 during World War II by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help lift morale and garner support for American troops. For more, visit uso.org.

Playground structure removed

By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Recent visitors to Carmel’s Inlow Park may have noticed something big missing.

Carmel Clay Parks & inlow park Recreation recently removed one of the park’s three wooden playground pods after a routine inspection found structural concerns.

“We inspect those routinely with our certified playground safety inspector,” said Michael Allen, Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation park maintenance director. “It required us to take a long, hard look and decide if it was worth spending the money now to fix this. Knowing we already had it in the pipeline for replacement made it an easy decision to just go ahead and mitigate the safety issue and start saving that money for a new replacement.”

The remaining two structures will continue to be monitored for safety. They were installed in 2001 and 2002.

“I think it has served the community well,” Allen said. “We still have the other two structures in place to continue to serve that community need to have a play feature there until we can ultimately get the new stuff out there.”

CCPR was already planning to replace the original structure in 2018.

“We had already been in discussion with designers on what the new playground could look like,” Allen said. “It was something we had been thinking about for a while.”

CCPR hopes to install the new playground a bit further away from the trees to give parents a better view of their children.

It is still expected to have a tree house feel.

“It will have some new climbing-type features, possibly some roller slides. The final design hasn’t been officially confirmed,” Allen said. “We still want to keep that threepod-type structure that it currently has.

India and Pakistan have historically had a rocky relationship, but immigrants from both nations embraced west park peace during a friendly game of cricket Sept. 21 in Carmel’s West Park.

Cricket for Peace, organized by the Pakistan American Friendship Association, India Association of Indianapolis and Indiana India Business Council, featured teams representing the two Asian nations playing a sport that is unfamiliar to most Americans but a regular part of life in many places internationally.

“The idea was to promote collaboration between immigrants from India and Pakistan and to work together in celebrating World Peace Day,” said Muzaffar Ahmad, a member of the organizing committee. He is a Fishers resident who is originally from Pakistan.

Organizers selected a top player who had immigrated from India and Pakistan to select teams. India won the match, scoring 94 runs in 8 overs. Pakistan scored 90 runs in 10 overs.

Ahmad said local immigrants have been gathering regularly to play cricket for more than a decade, even though there are no public cricket fields nearby. Most teams play on softball fields.

“It would be great if cities can set up some fields in their parks that can be used to play cricket,” Ahmad said. “Carmel Mayor James Brainard, who attended this game, has shown some interest in providing a cricket ground to Carmel residents.”

Organizers hope to make Cricket for Peace an annual event.

Carmel students visit Moscow

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Ten local children have returned from a trip abroad with the International Talent Academy. The stuinternational dents represented the United States and Carmel at the ARTEK International Children’s Center, a youth camp in Moscow.

The Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers children, ages 8 to 13, joined more than 3,500 children from 34 countries this summer for the camp, which is sponsored by the Russian government and Artek Foundation.

The camp’s theme was, “The World is Our Home.” Campers wrote essays about how friendship has no borders, participated in interviews with local journalists and contributed to peace-making projects. During the Day of International Delegations, students presented information about the history and culture of the U.S. and shared a PowerPoint presentation about Carmel.

Katerina Folkin, 13 of Carmel, said her favorite memories of the camp include the great friends she met and dance parties.

ITA CEO and founder Tatyana Komarova said she attended a similar camp when she was a child and wanted to help bring the experience to local children. She said the trip helped further the academy’s mission of spreading peace throughout the world.

“One of the most valuable experiences is to see and meet the kids from different countries,” she said.

The academy is accepting new students, ages 1 to 13. For information, visit internationaltalentacademy.org.

Projectorium now open

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Midwest Academy recently received another large piece to help in student development.

The Carmel midwest academy school held a ribbon cutting Sept. 22 on its projectorium. The space took six weeks to build, according to Doug Beamer, director of commercial project development for T&W Corporation, an Indianapolis-based construction company.

School officials define a projectorium as a space where students build, create, design and problem solve.

“This is a pretty interesting and unique space we have that not a lot of schools do,” said Kevin Gailey, Midwest Academy head of school. “We want to make sure it’s a space everyone can use in a safe way.”

Midwest Academy serves students in third through 12th grade who are in need of a small classroom environment, those living with school anxiety, students with ADD/ADHD, learning differences and high-functioning autism.

There is a garage door on one end of the projectorium so cars can be parked inside for projects.

From left, Dennis R. Sheward, Dave Knapp, Kevin Gailey, David Dilk and Doug Beamer in Midwest Academy’s projectorium. Sheward, Dilk and Beamer work for T&W Corporation.(Submitted photo)

“We can teach kids how to do some minor automotive things like changing tires or changing oil,” Gailey said. “It can be used for woodworking and also for creating prototypes.”

The robotics program will take advantage of the space as well.

At 1,250 square feet, Gailey said the space is at least three times larger than its previous makerspace.

“It cost a little less than $150,000, so we made that the (fundraising) goal,” Gailey said.

“We do a lot of other fundraising for financial aid. So we didn’t want to exceed (that total).”

The Carmel greyhounds After graduating from prison program, retired racing dogs find forever home

15

the lif e of a

r acing dog

By Christine Fernando • news@currentincarmel.com Greyhounds Stella and Clyde spent most of their lives on a race track, but when it came time to retire, they found a home with Debbie Leyndyke and her husband, Steve, in cover story Carmel.

But 4-year-old Stella and 5-year-old Clyde have not always been the well-adjusted family pets they are today. Just two years ago, they didn’t know how to walk on wood floors, climb stairs or even avoid walking into windows.

“They didn’t know how to act like normal dogs,” Leyndyke said.

“They lived their lives in kennels and on race tracks. A house was a new world to them.”

That’s where Prison Greyhounds came in.

The program, founded by President Mary Louden, brings greyhounds from the Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club to the Putnamville Correctional Facility in Greencastle. There, each dog is paired with two nonviolent inmates who help them transition from the race track to a home before they’re put up for adoption.

Louden, who has four greyhounds herself, said her organization provides curriculum, volunteers to coach inmates and the supplies needed to keep the dogs happy and healthy.

“They leave racing, and their lives are on hold waiting for a foster home, so we make sure they learn what they need to and can move on to a permanent home as soon as possible,” she said.

Leyndyke said it’s not uncommon for a greyhound to have nowhere to go after retiring. As a result, they may face an uncertain and sometimes dangerous future—one she said can be avoided if more people adopt.

But Prison Greyhounds doesn’t only help greyhounds, she said.

It also helps the prisoners that care for them. While the dogs learn how to be pets, the inmates learn job skills and gain teamwork experience.

In addition to learning usable skills, the arrangement gives each inmate a furry friend to help him through a difficult time.

“It helps the dogs adjust and find homes, and it gives the men something to love and care for and hold onto when they’re in prison,” Leyndyke said.

While greyhounds are typically gentle, friendly and calm dogs, Louden said they are not for everyone. They have specific dietary and veterinary needs. Their digestive system operates differently

8 weeks – Greyhounds begin regular running to develop muscle.

from other breeds. And they can run fast, sometimes bolting away and getting lost if not kept on a leash.

“You have to do your research,” she said. “You have to read about the breed, get to know them before you get one.”

For Leyndyke, it’s been fun watching her greyhounds interact and adapt to their new home. As the two got used to house life, their personalities also began to shine through, Leyndyke said.

Stella, nicknamed “Cowabunga,” is the more outgoing pet.

She’s the “prom queen” who captured Leyndyke’s heart when they first met. She said Clyde, on the other hand, is cute, docile and lets Stella rule the house.

“He’s like a big gentle teddy bear,” Leyndyke said.

Together, Clyde and Stella have posed for photos as the new mascots of Carmel High School’s football team. They howl duets to the tune of the 11 a.m. tornado sirens that sound on Fridays.

And they relish car rides, trips to the park and treats from neighbors.

Leyndyke said she hopes more retired greyhounds will be able to find families just like Stella and Clyde did.

“They found their forever homes here with us,” she said. “It was a great thing to see.”

Learn more at prisongreyhounds.org.

5 months – The dogs begin formal training in using leashes and muzzles, listening to formal commands and becoming race-ready.

15 months – The greyhounds start racing, typically twice each week.

Want to adopt?

Prison Greyhounds recommends the following steps to adopt a dog through its program: 1. Research the breed.

2. Read the book “Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies” by Lee Livingood.

3. Decide if a greyhound is the breed for you.

4. Fill out a written application.

5. Have a brief interview over the phone or at a meet-and-greet.

6. Read the program’s adoption hand-

book, “Bringing Your Retired Racer Home.”

7. Have a home visit to help match a greyhound with a suitable home.

8. Attend a “New Dog Day” to meet the available greyhounds.

9. Choose a dog that is best for you, your family and your home.

10. Wait about six weeks for the greyhounds to go through the

prison foster program. If you are pre-approved, you may take your greyhound home immediately to house-train yourself.

11. Take your greyhound home.

12. Allow the program’s adoption team to follow up with you after two days, two weeks and two months to ensure a smooth transition.

3 to 4 years old – Greyhounds typically retire at this age.

The next six weeks – If they find a foster home, the dogs typically spend six weeks learning to be family dogs through programs like Prison Greyhounds before being formally adopted.

When mice are away…

o b s e r v a tion Prioritized priorities Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The well-dressed, if a bit frazzled, man said to his colleague, “I’m managing three No. 1 priorities,” while waiting for a table at a fashionable luncheon spot. His plan, it seems, is to equally attack a triumvirate of matters – begging a plethora of questions. Will he dedicate one third of each day to 100 perent of each problem? Will he dedicate 100 percent of a day in a three-day rotation? Will he dedicate 100 percent of his attention to 33.3 percent of each problem simultaneously? It makes one’s head spin.

Can we hope to serve three masters?

No doubt, most of us live lives complicated by innumerable and deserving objectives, like chicks in the nest, each squawking endlessly for our attention. They all demand our time, resources and effort. Is it reasonable to believe that one person can effectively address more than one matter?

Multitasking, at least for most mortals, has proven a fiction. Studies continue to prove that we humans are ill equipped to drive, text, drink coffee and carry-on a conversation simultaneously.

So, what’s a highly motivated, and overtaxed, person to do? Create a discipline of one, and only one, top priority. Then, move to the second, only after the first is complete. Driving for a moment and then texting for a moment doesn’t work. Finish the primary object (think complete, not perfect), only then move on to complete No. 2. If we don’t get to the third, so what?

We’ve arrived safely. We’ve fulfilled our chief objective. Of our lists, are we misleading ourselves that each is equal? If we had to choose, could we? Before we give in to our obligations, have we prioritized our priorities?

What a glorious Saturday night this is shaping up to be. The husband and sons are at Regal, guard daughter at humor a competition, and Tiny Dancer is hanging with friends and the dog in the basement. Basically, it’s just me and the cat. I’m so excited!

The perfect evening is about to unfold.

The kitchen is clean, the lights are dimmed, and I have the next three hours to get reacquainted with my DVR via “Designated Survivor,” “Catastrophe,” and my new fave, “Veep.”

Does this make me lame? Yes, but I’m embracing it. I’m old enough to accept the introvert neat-freak I have become and to love every anal-retentive part about her.

Because at 45, life is too short to be someone I’m not.

Doo, though, disagrees. He’s afraid that once he dies (no doubt before me), I’ll become a friendless, Clorox-obsessed recluse, who only leaves the house for work and Friskies. To that end, he’s constantly trying to get me to “go out,” socialize with people, and have fun. He forgets I have four sisters and 13 in-law siblings, all close in age. I’ve got more peeps than is natural for an earlyto-bed, one-drink-only, soulless ginger like myself. I don’t need any more relationships, nor do I want to spend my weekends “going out.” In my book of middle-age awesomeness, fun is measured in cherry Pop-Tarts and HBO series.

Speaking of which, that delicious scenario currently awaits. And because I must capitalize on every alone-but-not-lonely second, I shall bid thee farewell. After all, when it’s Saturday night and the Wilson mice are away, the cat and I like to hit play.

Peace out.

15 tips everyone should know

Commissioners’ response to Fred Glynn Commentary by Hamilton County Commissioners Christine Altman, Mark Heirbrandt and Steven Dillinger Once again, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners are writing in response to an article submitted by solar panels county councilman Fred Glynn regarding the Hamilton County Jail Complex Solar Project.

We believe the readers of Current publications are entitled to complete and accurate facts to determine if a statesanctioned, guaranteed energy contract, generating an estimated net savings of more than $12.5 million over 25 years (with guaranteed savings backed up by an energy performance bond by one of the top five bonding companies in the world), is a good investment.

Utilities are the county’s second-highest expense, right behind our employee salaries/benefits.

The Jail Complex Solar Project is not a new concept. We explored it with county council in 2015. Everyone agreed that the Solar Project was not a good investment at that time in that it did not generate a sufficient rate of return. Three important things

17

have changed.

1. The technology and the capacity of the solar panels have been significantly improved, and electric rates continue to escalate.

2. The Indiana General Assembly passed SB 309, reducing net metering from 30 years to 15 years. Solar projects installed by Dec. 31, 2017 avoid the reduction and receive the 30-year net metering. If this project continues to be delayed past the end of the year, the county will lose nearly $2.9 million.

3. Tariff petitions pending before the International Trade Commission, if passed before the purchase of the panels, will increase the cost of the Solar Project by $1.2 million.

The utility savings generated will pay the capital cost of the Solar Project in less than 10 years. These funds are already in the county utility budgets, and the Solar Project will not result in a tax increase, but rather a net savings.

It is important to note that the county council approved the Energy Services Agreement for the solar project on Sept. 13 by a 6-1 vote. It’s unfortunate that councilman Glynn was the only “no” vote.

Commentary by Beverly Randolph Good manners put others at ease, make life easier and the ETIQUETTE world a better place.

Let’s add these tips to our daily lives.

1. When dining, wait for everyone to be served and the hostess to begin.

2. Instead of checking your phone, dedicate yourself by paying attention.

3. When people help you, thank them.

Send a tahnk-you note. I promise they’ll smile and open your letter first.

4. While walking to your seat at an event, face the people you pass on your way.

5. When you enter a room, regardless of your age, profession or status, always greet everyone.

6. When on speakerphone, close the door, advise you are on speaker and that others are present.

7. Whomever arrives at the door first, opens it. Be gracious, and thank the person.

8. When on the elevator, let others off and hold the doors. In your head, this is a great time to hone your

elevator speech.

9. Restrict business texts to business hours (one hour before the start of the workday and two hours after).

10. When introducing others, state the name the person of greater status first. Clients are always priority.

11. Remove your sunglasses and/or earbuds to speak to someone.

12. Never show up empty-handed to a party.

13. At the start of a call or Instant Messenger, always ask if now is a good time to talk.

14. Always R.S.V.P. to an invitation.

15. Always be careful of what you post, especially on social media. If there is doubt, don’t.

Do you have any etiquette dilemmas?

Share them and any other etiquette questions you have.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie After last week’s column about getting a knee replacement, many people expressed sympathy. Not for me, but for humor my wife, who has to pester me every day to do my exercises, which can be very painful. The pestering, I mean.

While I’ve been recuperating, Mary Ellen decided to tackle a job she had been putting off: going through kitchen drawers to see what we have accumulated in them over the years and what should be thrown out.

“What is this?” Mary Ellen asked me as she dangled a doodad in front of my face.

It was small, white, plastic, hexagonal in shape, and had several grooves. “It looks like it goes to something,” she said.

“I have no idea what it is,” I responded.

“Let’s put it somewhere in case we ever need it. It looks important.”

“So you want to keep it because you don’t know what it is for? ” “Don’t be silly. I only keep things that look important.”

I knew exactly what she meant. I have a desk drawer in my office filled with things

that look important — but I don’t have a clue what they are for. The only way to find out if something has any value is to throw it away.

When Mary Ellen wasn’t looking, I took the thingamajig she asked me about and tossed it in the trash. Whatever that thing was, it was now gone forever. It was just a matter of time before I found out what it was for. The next week our son stopped by the house. “Dad, Mom wants me to mount the kitchen phone on the wall. I can’t find the mounting bracket. It’s a small, white, hexagonal piece of plastic with grooves. Do you know where it is?”

“Yes, of course. It’s on the far south side of Indy — at the landfill.”

“You threw that away? Dad, didn’t you know that it went to something?”

“Yes, I knew it went to something. I just didn’t know what it went to.”

“We know now, Dad. It went to the dump.”

Breast cancer survivors partner to heal patients

By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Dr. Barbara Savader, Jill Dodson and Charlotte Howard have been working together at IU Health North IU HEalth for nearly 10 years. Not only have they become friends, but they also have become a team of 10-plus year breast cancer survivors collaborating to help current patients through the process.

“I tell our patients every time I meet a new patient that this is a club no one wants to join, but once you’re in it, you want to help people through it, and we’re lucky enough that that gets to be our job,” said Dodson, an oncology social worker.

Dodson, an Indianapolis resident, has been with IU Health for 24 years but joined IU Health North in Carmel in 2008 after a job opportunity opened while she was receiving cancer treatment there. Savader, a radiologist, and Howard, a breast health coordinator and nurse navigator, have both been at IU Health North since it opened.

Howard, who lives in Carmel, was one of Savader’s patients, and after breast cancer treatment, she transferred from surgical

services to the breast clinic approximately 5 1/2 years ago. As nurse navigator, Howard’s job is to walk patients through the diagnostic process from the first appointment and act as a support system.

“With people who are going through it, I think you feel often times like you’re the only one in this situation, and a lot of times I can just say, ‘I had breast cancer 10 years ago. I know what you’re going through now, but it’s going to get better,’” Howard said.

Howard and Savader work hand-in-hand

every day. After a patient has been diagnosed, they are sent to the breast clinic to meet surgeons, another nurse navigator and Dodson. Dodson’s job is to meet every cancer patient and provide community resources.

Dodson organizes a wellness series with events every Tuesday of the month. The first is yoga. Next, there is a cooking class followed by Reiki and Healing Touch. The last week offers a variety of speakers and activities.

“It’s a privilege to work with (Dodson and Howard). Our whole program is a real multidisciplinary effort, and I think our patients really feel that because we have excellent continuity between our specialties. I think the patients feel really well taken care of,” said Savader, a Carmel resident.

During the month of October, patients who schedule a screening mammogram will receive a pink scarf. After any regular screening mammogram, patients are also offered a free cancer risk screening that uses family and personal health histories to determine if they are at average or high risk of cancer. To schedule, call 317-688-2955.

Walk aims to end Alzheimer’s

Ultherapy® Face* Results

AFTER 90 DAYS

*Face refers to treatment of two or more of the FDA-cleared areas of the neck, brow, and under the chin.

It’s Non-surgical. Customizable. Beautiful. Ultherapy® is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that lifts and tightens your neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the chest.

As a member of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s recruitment committee, Margaret Curl figured she’d better have her own team.

Her two older sisters fundraiser joined her on team “Groundhog Day,” named after the movie where the weatherman, played by Bill Murray, keeps reliving the same day.

“Some people would find this a little morose, but we figure living with Alzheimer’s is kind of like living the same day over and over again, like the movie,” Curl said.

Curl’s mother, Shirley Cline, 82, was diagnosed early with Alzheimer’s in 2007.

“There is a different level of engagement when something hits you close to home,” Curl said.

Curl, a Carmel resident, competed in the Indianapolis version of the Walk Sept. 30.

The opening ceremony began at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. There were one-mile and three-mile routes. Curl raised $1,025. Curl’s husband, Mike, joined her on the walk.

Curl, who is officially her mother’s caregiver, previously participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s as part of the Eli Lilly team for a few years.

section of the Bickford of Carmel.

“We moved her in April from another nursing home,” Curl said. “They thought she was ready for memory care. My sisters and I didn’t agree, so we moved her. I still think she has a good amount of time in assisted living. As soon as she goes into the memory care, I think she’ll see a decline.

We’re trying to keep her as independent as we can.”

Curl works in the medicines development unit for supplying external vendors with drugs for clinical trials, which includes Alzheimer’s.

Carmel resident Kevin Seibert will honor his father, Gary Seibert, who died from Lewy body dementia in May, by hosting the second annual LBD Walk. The LBD fundraiser is at 9 a.m. Oct. 21 in the Village of West Clay.

LBD is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease. The effects on the body are similar to having Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease at the same time.

Kevin Seibert’s two daughters, Sarah and Laurie Seibert, are coordinators for the walk.

“My daughters are in charge of the walk itself. They wanted to continue to do the walk again this year, especially given the fact that my father died this summer,” Seibert said.

Last year’s walk drew 165 people. This year, the Seiberts are hoping for 200.

“This year, we have another family that has stepped in and is helping organize. Jeff Pruner is also a Carmel resident and lost his father to LBD years ago,” Seibert said.

Participants in the 2016 LBD Walk. (Submitted photo)

This year, golf carts will be available for those affected by LBD who would like to participate in the walk but might not be able to complete the full 5K. “It’s a lot more personal this year because it is in honor of my dad. It’s tougher this year,” Seibert said. “We’ll be able to reflect on my father outside of that immediate emotional situation around his death and funeral. It’ll be an upbeat and positive way to remember him.”

The walk will end with a social hour at Danny Boy Beer Works. Cost to participate is $25. To register, visit active.com/carmelin/walking/2nd-annual-lewy-body-dementia-walk-2017.

Q&A: Blue light and your eyes Commentary by Dr. Matthew Clark What is “blue light?”

Blue light is just that, blue-colored light!

Blue light emits higher energy than redcolored light, thereby causing vision potential damage to the retina in the back of the eye.

Blue light is everywhere, mostly from the sun. It cannot be avoided completely, and is, in, fact beneficial in nature. It helps your body to regulate its sleep cycle, energy and hormone levels and even elevates your mood.

Why are we worried about light?

Excessive artificial blue light from our phones and computers can interrupt our circadian rhythms, disturb sleep patterns and even influence your mood. Over time, this high-energy light actually damages the retina, likely inclining toward macular degeneration. People who have had cataract surgery are especially susceptible, since the lens removed during surgery filters out most blue light.

What should I do?

We don’t yet know the long-term effects this digital age will have on our eyes. Ideally, we would all cut the time we spend on our

devices by at least half. Most smartphones and tablets now have a blue-light filter in their settings, or “Night Shift” for you iPhone users. Set it to turn on in the evening to relax your eyes and help your brain turn off.

Then, at your next annual exam talk with your eye doctor about lenses and coatings to filter out harmful blue light. There are many options out now to protect you and make you more comfortable while on your devices.

Health tips for open enrollment Commentary by Ryan Alexander, DO Fall is often when people begin thinking about health benefits and insurance coverage for the insurance coming year. Here are some things to keep in mind as you make choices during open enrollment: Aim to establish an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider.

Long-term physician-patient relationships allow doctors to get to know their patients and learn their medical history.

When reviewing your health insurance options each year, check to make sure your primary care doctor is included in your plan. If you’re taking prescription medications, it’s important to work with your current doctor to ensure you have refills to meet your needs until you find a new physician.

Review the preventive care coverage included in your plan. The Affordable Care Act requires that preventive health services be covered at no additional cost in all health insurance plans. These services, which include immunizations and health screenings are based on age

and gender. Take time to review your health plan to understand what preventive care services are offered and then work with your primary care provider to develop a preventive care plan that’s right for you.

Learn about your prescription drug plan and work with your doctor. Some health insurance plans offer incentives for 90-day prescriptions. If you’re taking maintenance medications for a chronic condition, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, ask your doctor if a longer-term prescription is possible to save you money.

Know where you need to go for lab and imaging services. Some health plans require you to use certain labs and radiology centers. If you’re able to choose, you may want to find facilities that are close to your home or work.

Ryan Alexander, DO, specializes in family medicine. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Primary Care – Epler Parke and can be reached by calling the office at 317-7804080. For more health information, subscribe to Strength in You at iuhealth.org/StrengthInYou.

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.”

A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

Construction leads to cookouts

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com The old saying goes “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” And that’s exactly the approach Adam Nisley is range line taking to road construction on Range Line Road that is making access to his business and others in Shoshone Place Shopping Center more difficult.

“I understand the need for some growth and accept that change happens, and we will still be going about the daily business of running a business. You don’t want to think it will affect business, but I know that it can,” said Nisley, owner of Adam’s Flooring. “People see those barrels and all they want to do is get through to get to work or home or lunch. They don’t want to have to try to pull out of the plaza after they’ve pulled in.”

But the Carmel native is staying positive.

He knows those orange barrels and the construction workers are only temporary.

So, instead of worrying about the impact, he’s trying to make things more pleasant for everyone by firing up a grill on Fridays and serving burgers to the road crew.

“It’s all about working with your community and the guys working on the street,” he said.

The first cookout was Sept. 22 and he plans to continue the Friday cookouts every other week. “(Construction is) tough on a business, but I can’t complain about the location

because it’s been great for me,” he said. “I loved growing up in Carmel, and I love to see all the positive changes over the years.”

Even if those changes mean that, temporarily, his store front and others won’t be as accessible once the road is closed about a 1/4 of a mile away at City Center Drive and Range Line Road.

“Customers will think they can’t get down here because it’s all closed off and that will hurt,” Nisley said. “But the fact is they can get down here, and that is what we are trying to push and reiterate. They can still get through and come see us.”

As part of that push, Nisley and the Antique Emporium will host an open house/ garage sale Oct. 14 and 28.

“We hope to generate some buzz with that to let people know that even though there are orange barrels they can still get to us,” he said. “They can still shop, and we are still here to help them.”

The City of Carmel is working to develop a luxury boutique hotel next to the Carmel City Center. But in the hospitality meantime, a boutique hotel called Ironworks opened Sept. 12 at 86th Street and Keystone Avenue in nearby Indianapolis.

ABOUT IRONWORKS HOTEL Ironworks is Indianapolis’ first and only northside boutique hotel. The five-story brick industrial building was inspired by 19th century architecture and features 120 guest rooms with an average room rate of $250 and above.

The building includes an upscale restaurant called Provision, which is from Cunningham Restaurant Group. There’s also a breakfast place called Rize, an Asian restaurant called Blue Sushi Sake Grill and a spa provider called Massage Heights.

Isaac Bamgbose, vice president of asset management for Hendricks Commercial Properties which is behind Ironworks, said the goal is to create a unique experience that isn’t available at big hotel chains.

Bamgbose said the 100,000-square-foot hotel will offer plenty of amenities for guests, including a fitness center, conference rooms, luxury bedding, shuttle service and pet-friendly rooms.

Some rooms offer a spa-like bathroom, 75-inch TVs or 60-inch double-sided flatscreen TVs, and walk-out verandas with fire pits and outdoor music.

A grand-opening party will be held from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Oct. 21. Food from various restaurants and a beer garden will be avaiable. Tickets are available on Eventbrite and will also be sold

on site the day of the event.

COMPETITION WITH CARMEL? Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s been in lots of meetings to begin planning Carmel’s luxury hotel, which was recently approved by the Carmel City Council.

“My goal is to have it open by March of 2019,” Brainard said.

“Whether we meet it or not, that’s my goal.”

Brainard said he thinks there’s room for both the Ironworks hotel and Carmel’s luxury hotel.

“I think it’s a nice hotel,” he said. “I think the style (of Irownworks) will be dated in a few years. Our style will be like The Palladium with a classic design that will never go out of date.”

Brainard said one key difference is that Carmel’s hotel will be right next to The Palladium, the Monon Greenway and the Carmel City Center, so it will be very walkable.

“We anticipate a lot of visitors will come by taxi or Uber or Lyft and might just walk to local restaurants the entire time,” he said.

Cake Bake Shop coming to Carmel

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

French Table Linens Warehouse Sale Thursday, Oct 19 through Monday, Oct 23 Open 10-5 daily

Cake Bake Shop, a popular Broad Ripple eatery, announced a second location is coming to the Carmel city center City Center in fall 2018.

“I was just waiting for the right place and the right opportunity to come up,” Cake Bake owner Gwendolyn Rogers said.

“I’ve had about 10 companies approach me to try to open a second location, Rogers but it never felt right.”

Rogers opened her original shop at 6515 Carrollton Ave. about three years ago. Since then she’s won numerous awards and has baked for many celebrities, including making a 70th birthday cake for TV chef Paula Deen.

Her new location will be in the Baldwin Building, which is under construction near a new parking garage, not far from Graeter’s Ice Cream in the Nash Building.

Cake Bake will be on the west side of the building, so it won’t face Range Line Road, but it will have outdoor dining, lots of parking and be a short walk to The Palladium.

“We are pleased to announce The Cake Bake Shop will be joining our premier tenant mix at City Center next year and look forward to the beautiful designs and décor Gwendolyn Rogers creates for all to en-

joy as they visit the Center,” said Melissa Averitt, senior vice president at Carmel City Center. “It is going to be an amazing experience.”

Rogers said she’s going to try to recreate the small, cottage feel of her original location while still making the second location much bigger. Rogers said she’s going from 1,900 square feet in Broad Ripple to 3,600 square feet in Carmel.

“I really want to recreate that cottage feel in Carmel City Center,” she said. “I want to keep that same feel and design.”

Rogers said a few things will be different at the new location. She said there will be a larger menu with a full lunch and dinner.

There will be brunch with treats such as eggs benedict and possibly beignets. And she’ll have a full liquor license instead of serving just beer and wine.

“My hours will be extended to accommodate any activities in Carmel,” she said.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Judy DeGan was considering majoring in art while in high school.

“Then I woke up one morning art and thought, ‘I might want to eat,’” DeGan said. “So I decided to do something practical.”

So she dropped ceramics to take physics at her suburban Chicago high school.

“I was a medical technologist,” said DeGan, a Butler University graduate. “I then had kids and, for various reasons, ended up a special-ed teacher.”

Two years ago, she retired to return full time to her love of art.

“I started doing clay as a break from raising four kids,” DeGan said. “I started taking art classes at Broad Ripple High School. I moved on to Indianapolis Arts Center and got such fabulous instruction that I became an instructor.”

The longtime Carmel resident has been in the Local Clay Potters’ Guild for more than a year. DeGan is eager to hosting another display at the annual show.

“I was in it last year for the first time, and it was spectacular,” she said. “It was

fun. It was well-attended.”

The 20th annual Pottery Show and Sale is set for 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 3 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Bloomington Convention Center, 302 S. College Ave. Admission is free.

DeGan said it draws a strong crowd because it is held in conjunction with two other artists’ guilds. The Local Clay Guild show is on the second floor, and the Bloomington Glass Guild and Bloomington Spinners & Weavers Fiber Art Guild are on the bottom floor.

“They are separate shows, but we work together as far as advertising,” said DeGan, whose specialty is stoneware. “We have joint grant money to get the venue.

People have the opportunity if they travel that far to see three different shows.”

To be a member of the Bloomingtonbased Local Clay Potters Guild, the member has to live within 75 miles from Bloomington. DeGan just makes it.

“I make pitchers, mugs and bowls,” she said. “We’re allowed to bring in the neighborhood of 200 pieces. We might not put them all out at once. Everyone has assigned tasks, and one of them is making

sure if there are holes in the display,” DeGan has had a space at the Carmel International Arts Festival for several years. She had information promoting the Bloomington show last month.

“I was amazed at the people that had been to Bloomington show before or took the cards and were interested,” she said.

DeGan, who teaches a Monday day class for clay beginners at the Indianapolis Arts Center, has participated in art fairs since 2001. This one is special, she said.

“When you go to this, you are immediately greeted with someone welcoming you and all sorts of ceramic plates with homemade cookies,” she said. “There is an area called Potters’ Choice, which highlights each artist. There are photographs and samples of their work. There is a sculpture gallery for our sculptures. The remainder of that room is everyone’s work blended together.”

DeGan said it’s great to be part of the Guild because of professional growth.

“You feed off each other technique-wise and also combining marketing,” DeGan said.

Partners Jan Owens and Pam Cooley make up the catering team of Gourmet Girlfriends.

The event will, in part, be a history lesson in addition to a cooking demonstration.

“We have done this event before some other places,” Owens said. “It’s one of our more fun workshops. Guests tend to really enjoy it. We’ll start out in the ’50s talking about an invention called the microwave.

Then, we do a recipe from the ’50s, and then we go up through the ’70s.”

Guests will take home a Lipton Onion Soup mix and a cook booklet.

PASSED by the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, this 2nd day of October, 2017, by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays.

COMMON COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF CARMEL Sue Finkam, President Anthony Green Kevin D. Rider, Vice-President H. Bruce Kimball Laura D. Campbell Jeff Worrell Ronald E. Carter ATTEST: Christine S. Pauley, Clerk-Treasurer Presented by me to the Mayor of the City of Carmel, Indiana this 3rd day of October 2017, at 10:30 A.M. Christine S. Pauley, Clerk-Treasurer Approved by me, Mayor of the City of Carmel, Indiana, this 10th day of October 2017, at 8:44 A.M. James Brainard, Mayor ATTEST: Christine S. Pauley, Clerk-Treasurer This Ordinance was prepared by Jon Oberlander, Senior Carmel Assistant City Attorney, on 10/10/17 at 1:29 PM. It may have been subsequently revised. However, no subsequent revision to this Ordinance has been reviewed by Mr. Oberlander for legal sufficiency or otherwise.

a meandering pond, heavy woods in the background with a golf course streaming through the middle. A remarkable setting, but there was little opportunity to enjoy it without a patio. We constructed the open-air porch (lanais) with a bead board ceiling and two skylights in an effort to keep the interior light and airy. The ceiling fan creates a nice breeze and discourages insects.

The abbreviated grill station houses a quality Weber grill and offers nice counter space, too. A rectangular fire feature, constructed with the same Hessit stone as the grill station, pulls the space together. We especially love the limestone ledge and counters.

The Indiana limestone was repeated as oversize steps from the back door and contrasts nicely with the very rich Rumbled Cocoa clay paver.

It has completely changed how the family lives and entertains and is very inviting. Looks like we will be remodeling the bathrooms this winter, too!

Q: Did the lanais require any special permits?

A: Free standing or attached, roof structures with concrete footers require construction drawings, building permits and inspections. Something we accomplish regularly and not a step you want to skip.

Q: How long does a project like this usually take?

A: From start to completion was around eight weeks.

Our paver and landscape team launched the project followed by our construction crews.

Q: What fun amenities are being included in porches?

A: Just about everything you can imagine from built in Bluetooth speakers, retractable screens and wall mounted heaters to extend the season by several weeks.

Deciding to be happy Commentary by Lorene Burkhart There have been several articles recently that have me scratching my head.

The first one was in the seniors Wall Street Journal entitled “Government’s role in fighting loneliness.” Just what we need! It contained a chart showing the percentage of people by age, who say they are sometimes lonely. Not surprisingly, the age group of 86 and older was the highest percentage (20.2), but the next highest age group was 26-35 (14.8). Maybe we can get these two groups together for some serious socializing.

Another article in Bottom Line Health gave four ways to boost your happiness, which included making the right connections and being grateful. It concluded that the older you are, the happier you can be.

Being relieved of building careers and raising families provides more time to focus on personal fulfillment, thus a greater feeling of happiness.

So you can see my confusion. Should I feel sad about being older and lonely, or should I feel happy to be aging?

For me visiting with friends immediately

brightens my day. Attending church services on Sunday gives me a head start for a good week. Then there is always music for the soul and a good book to remove me to another time and place. I recently read the new biography about Bette Davis, “Miss D and Me” by Kathryn Sermak and found it to be inspirational and a wonderful tribute to female friendship.

Another enjoyment is letting my subconscious mind go wherever it wants. Freud’s colleague, Carl Jung, concluded that the subconscious mind was designed as a backup for our knowledge and experience.

That’s why we often find ourselves awakening from a deep sleep with a new perspective on our lives. So let ’er rip! Discover more and enjoy it.

We all love rewards, and the best reward for our lives is knowing that we made the effort to be our best, do our best and that we shared our gratefulness with others.

Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.

Roman Theater in Aspendos, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Roman Engineering in Aspendos Commentary by Don Knebel Aspendos is located approximately 30 miles east of Antalya in southern Turkey.

Each year 400,000 visitors travel come to the city to see two remarkable accomplishments of Roman engineers.

By the fifth century B.C., Aspendos, strategically situated on a flattop hill above the Eurymedon River that flows into the Mediterranean, had become an important port city, with its mints producing some of the world’s earliest coins. The Romans, who captured and plundered Aspendos in 79 B.C., rebuilt the city with markets, monuments, baths and temples. The ruins of many of those structures remain.

The most visited ancient structure in Aspendos is the theater, considered the best-preserved Roman theater in the world.

Erected between 160 and 180 A.D. during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the theater emulated the Greek model, with its horseshoe-shaped seating area built against the hillside. Depending on the assumed size of the average theatergoer, the

estimated capacity of the 41 rows of seats, divided into two sections, ranges between 7500 and 20,000. The two-story stage house, from which actors entered the stage from one of five doors, is remarkably intact and is still used for performances.

Less well preserved than the theater are the remains of an ingenious system that brought water to the Aspendos hilltop from mountains 12 miles on the other side of the valley. The system took advantage of the principle that water seeks its own level. One 300-foot-tall stone tower near the mountains carried the water in a channel downwardly at a 55-degree angle toward horizontal pipes laid on supports in the valley.

Another angled tower channeled the flowing water back up to the city. The remains of the Aspendos water system are the most complete of any similar system in the world and are worth a visit after seeing the theater.

Dispatches Pumpkin carving tips — Here are a couple tricks to try for easier pumpkin carving this season.

1. Instead of cutting the top off, cut the bottom off. Most of the gunk comes away with the bottom making it easier to clean out. Place the entire pumpkin over a lighted candle when done.

2. Use a drill to make holes in an interesting pattern. It’s faster and easier than tracing and cutting.

3. Select pumpkins with shallow ribs. They tend to be thinner and easier to cut.
