State of city is ‘tremendous’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The theme of Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard’s State of the City address can be summed up in his opening line.

GOVERNMENT “The State of the City of Carmel is tremendous,” Brainard said Oct. 10 before a packed audience at Ritz Charles in Carmel.

He cited recent awards such as No. 1 Best Suburb to Live in America (niche.com); Best Place to Raise a Family in the Midwest (yahoo.com) and No. 1 Safest City of Raise a Child (safewise.com).

Brainard said he was humbled to be delivering his 24th State of the City address.

Having survived a primary election challenge, Brainard is running unopposed for his seventh term as mayor in November.

Brainard said the road to Carmel’s success hasn’t always been easy.

“But you can see how our plans are all coming together now, particularly in our Central Corridor – along Range Line Road and the Monon Greenway,” Brainard said. “Instead of a rundown and underused center of Old Town Carmel, we have a vibrant and thriving mix of residents, corporate offices and small businesses that are finding out quickly that Carmel has a strategy in place to support our local small businesses, offer different types of housing and constantly attract more jobs and talented workers, all of which makes us a stronger, competitive city. I want to remind you that we have accomplished many of our strategic goals while property taxes decline.

In fact, we continue to have one of the lowest property tax rates in all of Indiana.”

Brainard said there are some who question the level of debt carried by the city. He said those critics fail to mention the level of revenue the city has and the small percentage of debt paid by residential taxpayers.

“We are a growing city, and we have been for the last 24 years, and that means we still need to invest in building new and safer streets, sidewalks, storm sewer and drainage systems, parking structures, parks and trails and all the other things that cities build,” he said. “We do these things to meet the needs of a population that has exceeded 100,000 at night and more than 125,000 in the daytime.

Brainard said the city revenues are more than sufficient to cover annual debt payments and that the city will end 2019 with more than $40 million in reserves.

To our readers: Effective with the Oct. 29 editions of Current you will notice a change.

To better serve you and our advertisers, we are relocating our printing operations to a different plant. As you will come see, the press setup there will provide you, our advertisers and us improved color reproduction, ink density and color registration. In addition, the canvas of our papers will shrink somewhat. Feedback we received after a press test was incredibly positive, and so the decision to change was made.

We hope you’ll find the improved print version to be easier to read and, perhaps, a bit more portable. Let us know your thoughts at info@youarecurrent.com, and, as always, thank you for reading Current.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg, co-founders and owners

A former financial coordinator for a Carmel-based fraternity’s charitable foundation is facing multiple EMBEZZLEMENT 20-year sentences after she was arrested and charged for embezzling more than $450,000 from the organization.

On Oct. 10, U.S. Attorney Josh J. Minkler announced that Christina Short, 43, Speedway, was charged with wire fraud for her alleged altering and stealing of more than 800 money orders that were given as donations to Zeta Tau Alpha, a national women’s fraternity headquartered in Carmel.

Short began working for ZTA in 2002 before being fired in late 2018 after an employee at her bank began examining the altered money orders and alerted ZTA. She allegedly began stealing money in 2012.

According to the U.S. Dept. of Justice’s report, ZTA regularly received donations on a nearly daily basis. Those donations were used to help fund scholarships and promote breast cancer awareness, among other education initiatives.

According to the DOJ report, Short would change the “pay to” line on a money order to her name before depositing it into a personal bank account. By 2016, she was allegedly stealing more than 150 donations per year.

Charges further allege that Short made efforts to conceal the fraud, taking steps to ensure the donations were recorded and that those ZTA records matched what donors actually gave.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Nick Linder, who is prosecuting the case, Short could face up to 20 years in prison on each charge and pay back the entirety of the stolen money if convicted.

Short was arrested and released Oct. 10 pending trial. She was appointed a public defender, William H. Dazey, Jr. of Indianapolis-based Indiana Federal Community Defenders. Dazey did not respond to request for comment.

What is an area where Carmel can improve? I appreciate all the progress we’ve witnessed. However, moving forward, I want to see better management of our debt and more transparency.

When developers introduced plans for new townhomes near Rohrer Road and the Monon Trail, it ran into resisHOUSING tance from some neighbors who didn’t like the architectural features and had concerns about several other potential problems.

But now, Lennar Homes of Indiana is hoping its revisions to the Monon Crossing Townhomes will earn approval from the city for its request to rezone the land.

At its Oct. 15 meeting, the Carmel Plan Commission voted 6-2 to send the rezone request with a favorable recommendation to the Carmel City Council, which will have the final voting authority. If the council ap-

proves the request, the 6.8-acre property will change from R1-Residential zoning to urban residential.

The property is bordered to the west by Rohrer Road and to the east by the Monon Trail. The Autumn Lake subdivision is to the south.

Jim Shinaver, an attorney from Nelson & Frankenberger presenting on behalf of Lennar, said several modifications have been made since the proposal was initially presented. Modifications to the site plan include reducing the total number of townhomes from 64 to 60. Among several changes along Rohrer Road, one revision moves the front of the townhomes 10 to 14 feet farther away from the road.

North End may bring urban farm

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A new development called North End could drastically change the landscape of a 27-acre area northeast DEVELOPMENT of Smokey Row Roadand U.S. 31.

Old Town Companies introduced the mixed-use project to the Carmel Plan Commission at its Oct. 15 meeting. Plans include the development of apartments, townhomes, condominiums, single-family homes and retail commercial and office space in the area between the Monon Greenway and U.S. 31 on the north side of Smokey Row Road.

“This is something that has grown as a grassroots movement,” said Rebecca McGuckin of Old Town Companies. “(Old Town Companies’ partner) Justin Moffett lives on this property. It began with community members - single-family homes currently reside there - approaching him and Old Town Companies saying, ‘We’re interested in selling, what might this look like?’ We gave neighbors character images to respond to, opportunities to share their relationship with the land and to begin to design what

would go here.”

Amenities could include path connectivity, a 1-acre garden and urban farm, a fitness space and a pool in addition to programming for residents, tree preservation upon development and a more native habitat.

McGuckin said a primary goal of the development will be the implementation of intergenerational housing, welcoming young professionals and senior citizens alike.

The urban farm will include a greenhouse, farm stand and a half-acre of vegetable production.

The plan commission voted to send the site plan and primary plat approval to the city’s residential committee.

What it means: Schafer Powder Coatings is requesting a site plan and design approval for a 31,500-square-foot expansion to its facility at 4518 W. 99th St. The development also is proposing the addition of 34 new parking spaces on the 5.44-acre property within the Mayflower Industrial Park. The commercial committee will give final approval on the site plan and design.

What happened: The plan commission unanimously approved a site plan for a future hotel and office building adjacent to Ritz Charles.

Conner Prairie holds open house on river plan

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com On Oct. 16, Conner Prairie and City of Carmel officials conducted an open house at Wilfong Pavilion HAMILTON COUNTY at Founder’s Park in Carmel to discuss how the two organizations fit into the long-term White River Vision Plan.

Representatives from Carmel City Council, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, Conner Prairie and Hamilton County Tourism were onhand to present information and answer questions.

Conner Prairie mostly presented on development possibilities on the land it owns to the west of the river. Overall, Conner Prairie owns 1,046 acres of land and has 3.3 miles of White River frontage. The White River passes through Hamilton and Marion counties as it makes its way to the Wabash River.

Tentative opportunities for Conner Prairie land could include a river ecology center, a farm-to-table restaurant with site-sourced ingredients, a conference center and more.

Carmel City Council member Sue Finkam

Plans for development west of the river include a true, site-sourced farm-to-table restaurant.

had some positive thoughts as well as some concerns.

“I’m very excited about the aspect of having a high-quality interactive experience like this in our backyard,” she said. “I feel like (Conner Prairie) has been a good steward of the land they’ve been provided to manage.”

Finkam said plans are in the works for kayak and canoe access to certain parts of the river from the river ecology center that aren’t currently offered.

However, Finkam said she also has concerns for the nearby residential areas, mainly Legacy, a 440-acre development at the southwest corner of 146th Street and River Road.

“I think (residents) will appreciate this if

it truly honors nature and doesn’t feel like an intrusion,” she said.

Finkam said she also was concerned about the potential long-term conference center. She said if that project comes to fruition, she hopes Conner Prairie will remain open to residential and city input.

Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Board President Rich Taylor said more paths and a river ecology center have always been the subjects of public requests.

“The river ecology center would provide an opportunity to show historically how the river has been used. There would be learning about the nature that surrounds the river,” he said.

Taylor said if the river ecology center is built, it would like be a public-private partnership between the City of Carmel and Conner Prairie.

Conner Prairie President and CEO Norman Burns said if a public-private partnership for the farm-to-table restaurant forms, it would likely also include a partnership to plant the right crops and orchards to provide ingredients for the restaurant. Conner Prairie also plans to use some of the land to expand its rare breeds’ program.

Old FashiOned PersOnal service.

By Rick Morwick Rick@youarecurrent.com

Zach Horowitz has a dream, a plan and a travel trailer. By sometime next year, his objective is to merge all three to make the former come true.

TRAVEL He’s working out the details now.

“Over the course of the last decade, I have dreamed of traveling the United States,” said Horowitz, a 2015 Carmel High School graduate. “I never knew exactly how I would make it happen. All I knew was that I wanted it to occur.”

If all goes according to plan, Horowitz will fulfill his dream sometime in 2020 when he completes renovations on a used 1975 Airstream Tradewind Land Yacht, a 25-foot luxury trailer that will be his home for an indefinite period of time as he attempts to visit all four corners, and everything in between, of the continental U.S. He has no timetable for how long he’ll travel.

“This travel trailer will give me the freedom I have been looking for, allowing me to travel the country, meeting new people, seeing new places and ultimately having the adventure of a lifetime,” said Horowitz, 22, who decided to follow his dream a few weeks after graduating from Indiana University in 2019 with a degree in informatics.

Horowitz, who has spent several years saving money for a potential cross-country trek, began refurbishing the 25-foot Airstream on June 1. Among other renovations, he removed the shell from the frame and re-engineered it to be light and strong. He also removed all 22 outriggers and welded on new ones; replaced window seals and door seals; installed new fans; and patched holes to create a watertight seal all around the trailer.

As work continues, Horowitz is documenting the project on a YouTube series called “Zach’s Airstream Adventure.” He plans to document the actual adventure when it begins sometime next year when the trailer is ready.

“With a project like this, it is very difficult to set a departure date,” Horowitz said. “I’d like to leave as soon as it’s done, but that date is hard to calculate. As I get closer to completion, I’ll have a better idea.”

Because his departure is still unknown, Horowitz hasn’t mapped out a route but does plan to visit 49 of the 50 states. To support himself, he plans to work along the

“I’ll be doing any and all work, from labor-intensive jobs to the possibility of a full-time job on the road, and everything in between,” he said. “There are plenty of opportunities out there that allow you to receive free hook-ups, water, electric, etc. in exchange for work. The beauty of these opportunities is that you’re also getting paid.”

Horowitz’s stepmom, Luisa Stiggleman, applauds his efforts.

“I think this is amazing,” Stiggleman said.

“So many college kids these days are taking a gap year before they go out in the working world. He has no commitments at this stage in his life, so this is the time for this adventure. “ He can’t wait for it to begin.

“I made this decision because it was the hard one to make,” Horowitz said. “I’m going to do everything in my power to take each experience as it comes, enjoying each second of the precious time I have, doing what it is I have always dreamt of doing.”

Ghosts & Goblins returns Oct. 26

By Raymond Mo news@currentincarmel,com The 11th annual Ghosts & Goblins 5K/2K will return Oct. 26 to Carmel High School.

The event benefits FUNDRAISER the Carmel Education Foundation.

“Since 1966, we have been partnering with Carmel Clay Schools to support students in the classroom,” said Barbara Danquist, the foundation’s co-executive director. “To fulfill that mission, the Ghosts & Goblins run provides the funds for us to be able to support teachers through teacher grants.”

Many participants arrive in costume to the festive event. Prizes will be awarded for

best youth, best adult and best ensemble costumes.

“We’ve seen all kinds of costumes in all kinds of ways, but it’s so fun to watch,” Danquist said.

Danquist said the event is designed for people of all ages.

“We wanted something that was really open to everybody to come,” she said. “To see families and friends dressed up and enjoying themselves, that, to me, is the best.

Because that’s what a community is, that you all come together for a purpose.”

The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the CHS west parking lot. Registration is available online and at the school. For more, visit carmelghostrun.com.

CHS to host Keady, Keyes

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Gene Keady and Leroy Keyes have shared a lot of stories and laughs through the years.

FUNDRAISER For the first time they will share a stage together to tell those stories at Carmel High School. The school’s athletics department will play host to “An Evening with Gene Keady & Leroy Keyes” in the CHS Auditorium at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 to benefit its PTO Backpack Program, which provides food on the weekends for students who qualify through the counseling office.

Keady and Keyes will take part in a conversation moderated by Purdue football radio color commentator and ex-Purdue football standout Pete Quinn.

Keady, 83, was the Boilermakers basketball coach for 25 years, retiring in 2005.

He said what he enjoys most about these type of events are the questions from the audience.

“I try to feed off what they are interested in and see what they are thinking,” Keady said. “I don’t want to make it where I just talk.”

Before we discovered M4L, we felt like you may feel -embarrassed, apprehensive and awkward.

Leroy Keyes, left, and Gene Keady will hold an event at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at Carmel High School (Submitted photo)

Keyes, 72, is regarded as one of the greatest players in the school’s football history, finishing runner-up to O.J. Simpson in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1968. Keady and Keyes are longtime friends.

“Leroy is a pretty easy guy to work with, so we’ll have some fun,” Keady said. “I talk about encouraging kids and how to have integrity. Leroy is a great motivator and very honest. He has great integrity and a great family. I haven’t done a lot of speeches with him but I play a lot of golf with him when I come home.”

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at gofan.co/app/events/68381.

Headless Horseman festival haunts Conner Prairie

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie has brought back a fall favorite. The Headless Horseman festival began Oct. 10. Remaining HALLOWEEN dates are Oct. 24-27.

Conner Prairie Director of Public Affairs Christine DeJoy said the event grows in popularity as Halloween gets closer.

“What’s nice, too, here is how the leaves change,” she said. “If you come to the festival in the beginning of October and decide to come again, it’s almost like two different Conner Prairies. The colors gradually change, and it’s just so pretty.”

Besides the Headless Horseman attraction, where a “headless” rider on horse scares hayriders, other activities include barrel-train rides for toddlers, midway games, a Headless Horseman marionette show, spooky story-telling and a 12-acre

corn maze. In addition, the Hamilton County Tourism sculpture of the “White River Monster” will be on-site. There also will be a make-and-take station near the monster for families to make crafts.

Per the corn maze, DeJoy suggests older children participate in the scary section at night.

“At night during Headless, the scary section of the maze is activated, so if you’re a bit older, it’s the best,” she said. “It’s not for young kids. It can get a little scary in there.

We tried it last year for the first time.”

The corn maze and all activities are included with admission to the Headless Horseman festival. Admission is $13 on Thursdays and Sundays, and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. Presale tickets, at the same prices, are available online. Gates are open from 6 to 9 p.m., but DeJoy said the hayride can be out until 10 p.m.

“Nothing changes, but daylight versus night time adds scare to (the hayride),” DeJoy said.

DeJoy said the event has become a Fishers family tradition.

“It’s a great way to experience Conner Prairie in a whole new light than if you come during the day for the historical areas.

It’s a completely different experience,” she said. “It’s beautiful here at fall with the leaves changing and the colors so vibrant.

It’s a great, different way to experience Conner Prairie and also to make family memories. The Headless Horseman festival is a popular tradition in the area.”

Ben Jones remembers when he first got the idea to make a financial podcast for children.

Jones had a home studio where he would record videos for teaching finance.

COVER STORY “One day I heard (daughter) Makenna reading off of the teleprompter, and I’m hearing this 7-year-old girl and she’s talking about hardcore finance,” the Carmel resident said. “It went off in my head it would be good to start at a younger age to talk to kids about finance.”

So eventually Jones created “Money with Mak & G” featuring his 11-year-old twins, Makenna and Grant. The bite-sized episodes, dubbed “minisodes,” are usually 10 minutes long.

They cover different financial topics and break them down into a simple lesson. His goal with the podcast, which started a year ago, is to help families provide financial education to their kids with the mantra of “start young and grow wealthy.”

“Parents are more likely to talk to their kids about S-E-X than they are to talk about money,” Jones said. “We’re trying to get that whole conversation started about money.

We’re trying to facilitate that and make it fun.”

Jones said the podcasts are short so they can be listened to on the way to soccer or dance practice.

“When we look at the metrics, anyone that starts to listen to it, they’ll finish it — 95 percent that start it go to the end,” he said. “We just want to help people know more about money.”

There have been 1,300 downloads of the podcasts, and 16 episodes in three seasons. Season 4 will launch Oct. 22 with five episodes. Podcasts are geared to ages 9 to 16.

Jones and his wife, Kristie, and the twins moved to Carmel four months ago from the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, Ill. Jones left his job with a wealth management company and purchased a couple of businesses in Indianapolis.

He owns Stay Dry Roofing and Vanities International with his cousin, John Paul Olinger.

Jones, who grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Lawrence Central High School, viewed Indiana as a much better place to own a business than Illinois.

“I thought I never would come back to Indianapolis because I lived and worked in over 20 countries,” he said.

“I speak French and Spanish. We started looking around and Carmel is rated as one of the great places to live with schools and (low) taxes.”

Jones is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Analyst. He also has an MBA from the University of Chicago.

He had made more than 200 videos for teaching finance, so he had studio room and equipment in his former house in Downers Grove. Since moving to Carmel, they have been doing the podcasts from various studios.

The twins read the scripts - written mostly by Jones from their iPads. Jones previously wrote content for Wiley Publishing, which produces instructional materials.

“It’s fun because I get to hang out with Grant and my dad, and we have a lot of fun making them,” Makenna said.

“I also get to learn about money at the same time. I just love doing it.”

For Grant, the best part is using all the technology.

Grant and Makenna did some acting in Downers Grove. In one play, Makenna played Ariel and Grant played her father, King Triton, in “The Little Mermaid.”

“It was the only sanctioned time he could yell at his sister,” Jones said.

Grant and Makenna, who are sixth-graders at Park Tudor School, are now involved in Young Voices of Indiana.

“From a performance perspective, it’s quite nice because they both get to use their voice from an acting perspective because you just can’t read it,” Jones said. “You have to act it out.”

Grant agreed.

“If you are just talking plain, no one would be interested,” he said.

The first season of “Money with Mak and G” included topics on the history of money, how piggybanks were made and allowance.

“The first season was a little bit of a hodgepodge because we were trying to figure it out,” Ben Jones said.

The second season was about saving and starting a small business. They created a hypothetical petsitting business.

“The third season is, now that we’re making money, what do we do with it?” Jones said.

Guests have included Jones’ brother-in-law ,Tony Petrucciani, the managing partner of Vision Tech Partners, an angel investing fund in Indianapolis, and his son, Jacobi Petrucciani, co-founder of Mimir Classroom.

“An angel investor helps companies by giving knowledge about how to run a company, and they also invest in the company, so they really want it to go well because they are giving time and money,” Jones said.

Jones said there are a wealth of topics that could be covered.

“I could see a whole season on what certain jobs pay,” he said. “There could be a season on how do you choose a college and what things do you need to think about. There are so many aspects of that.”

Stock Yards Bank serves as a podcast sponsor, along with Mimir and Vision Tech Partners.

ESSAY

LETTER

A skill mastered

Let’s protect our students

Commentary by Terry Anker Everything old is new again. As life moves ever too rapidly from one moment to the next, icons appear and then fade into our shared experience. One minute, we are all enjoying “Scooby Doo,” the next is “Hill Street Blues,” then “Friends,” then, in an instant, “The Big Bang Theory.”

Our favorite actors and tag lines give way to new ones. The coffee mugs and T-shirts reminding us “let’s be careful out there” are traded for ones bearing images of Ron Swanson.” Our deep, emotional investment in whether Tony Soprano would ultimately get whacked turns out to be no more important to the subsequent generations than who shot JR. It is all quite disheartening. Did we waste those years spent waiting to see if Coyote would finally get the Road Runner for dinner? But surely, our perfecting the ideal way to separate Oreos or rapidly remove the orange from Cheetos will have use as we accelerate even further into adulthood, but it doesn’t seem to come up in the corporate cafeteria as it did in the elementary school lunchroom.

Still for many of us, a skill mastered only requires an opportunity to reemerge. Let each generation decide the content. But shouldn’t our grandkids know how to drain the crème filling out of a Twinkie?

Don’t our children deserve to know the sublime joy of Igor’s hump in “Young Frankenstein?” And, aren’t we the ones to tell them? Even more, it seems that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos pair beautifully with an aged barrel-strength bourbon. We can still learn!

Grab a rabbit’s foot Commentary by Danielle Wilson Are you superstitious? I am. I truly believe the only way the University of Louisville can win a game is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans HUMOR and avoid caffeine and pickles for the entire day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt or black cats, for obvious reasons.

Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister. Although, it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil” and therefore had “the sight.” And my mom is extremely intuitive; she always knew when I was “with child,” even before

Rod Stewart or I knew.

So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. (Case in point: My favorite show, “This is Us,” had a whole storyline devoted to the Vietnam War; I was then awarded a teaching grant to Vietnam. Coincidence? I think not.)

Anyway, I bring this topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us.

Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So, grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I have not special talent, I am only passionately curious.”

— Albert Einstein

21

Editor, One reason Carmel ranks so high nationally on livability scales is that we, as a community, spend money on things that need money spent. One can argue about carousels and roundabouts, but the fact is we have the tax base and employment to fund quality education, infrastructure maintenance, to keep our city running smoothly, and to be prepared for new issues yet to come. The subject of school safety is certainly not new, but we have not yet dealt effectively with it. The referendum in November gives us an opportunity to address that.

The November referendum is not about guns or mental health or any of the many issues surrounding violence in our schools.

It is about taking active steps to prevent such a tragedy from occurring in our community and making the jobs of those hired to do so better.

Someone is bound to raise the argument that bolstering the SRO program in our schools is no guarantee against some kind of attack, which is true. However, if the day arrives when it is our friends and neighbors on TV in hysterics, trying to locate their children, we as a community need to be able to say, if nothing else, that we did what we could to keep our schools safe. The alternative is obscene and unacceptable.

Bruce Allen, Carmel

The Handyman’s Tale

October 17 – November 17 CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY LOBBY Daily During Library Hours

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie While waiting in the doctor’s office the other day, I picked up a copy of “Handyman Magazine.”

HUMOR One story was what to do if your Gorilla Glue hardens in the tube, and there also was one on how to dig post holes in sandy soil. I read both of those carefully. After 40 years, Mary Ellen and I are always looking for something new to talk about. There was a three-page spread on “How to Cure a Sick Ceiling Fan.” What would the fan be complaining of? Periodic dizziness?

One piece was called “Best Advice for DIYers.” I thought it was going to be about how to successfully drink and drill at the same time. Then I discovered that a DIY is a Do-ItYourselfer. Another entry was titled “How to Make a Hidden Cutting Board.” I can never find ours when we need it, so I decided to skip that kitchen improvement project.

The best read was “Maintaining Your Chimney.” It contains a list of what you will need to do the job, stuff found around most houses. You need brushable crown sealer, chimney water repellent and a stain-

less steel chimney cap. I had all of that in the garage except for the brushable crown sealer, the chimney water repellent and a stainless steel chimney cap. Another article began, “Trying to run fish tape through an insulated stud bay can be a nightmare.” You have to have a pretty dull imagination if this is what you have bad dreams about.

The regular monthly column is about making your own tools—a way to either save money or create a gadget not available in hardware stores. In this issue, the author showed how to take a long flexible, piece of tubing and attach a flashlight at the end for work in dark, hard-to-reach places, as in a do-it-yourself plumbing project. It was really a neat gizmo, but I ripped the page out and tossed it in the trash. My next colonoscopy is coming up in 2020 and with all the costcutting in medicine, the fewer doctors who know about this, the better.

SEP Foundation awards $75K

By Raymond Mo news@currentincarmel.com

ENGINEERED TO EXHILARATE & INSPIRE

THE 2019 MAZDA CX-5 SPORT FWD

Carmel software development company SEP recently announced the formation of The SEP Foundation, an GIVING BACK outreach fund awarding $75,000 to grant to recipients in Indianapolis.

Managed by the Central Indiana Community Foundation, The SEP Foundation is a vehicle for SEP to give back to local organizations. The foundation’s mission is to provide marginalized individuals and families with new opportunities to help them achieve self-sufficiency.

“As a tech company in Central Indiana for over 30 years, we admire and have compassion for the resiliency of those in our community who have experienced hardships,” SEP Chief Operating Officer Traci Dossett said. “As a result of our community’s support and our great success, we have created The SEP Foundation to give back to and support our neighbors who deserve the same opportunity.”

This year, The SEP Foundation selected HVAF, Horizon House and The Last Mile as grant recipients.

From left, SEP Chief Operating Officer Traci Dossett, TLM Lead Remote Instructor Jason Jones, TLM Expansion Manager Mary Cochran TLM Director of Expansion Jack Cochran and SEP President Raman Ohri. The SEP Foundation presents a grant to The Last Mile. (Submitted photo)

Dossett said the foundation serves as a hub for community involvement outside of grant-making. Through the foundation, SEP employees are able to work with local organizations.

“Vetting charities can be overwhelming.

There are so many outstanding organizations to help, along with some that maybe aren’t when you dig a little deeper,” Dossett said. “(The SEP Foundation) helps SEP employees get connected with organizations that reflect our mission and where they can make an impact with their talents as well.”

Survivor models in fashion show

By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Laura Davidson, a breast cancer survivor from Carmel, recently walked the runway as a model in the Pink BREAST CANCER Ribbon Connection’s Stars of Pink Breast Cancer Survivor Fashion Show.

The show was part of Pink Ribbon Connection’s 25th anniversary celebration. Pink Ribbon Connection is an Indianapolis-based organization that provides counseling services, emotional support and resources to breast cancer survivors and their families.

Davidson was first diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. She said the diagnosis came as a complete shock, since she was healthy and had no risk factors.

“I’ve been exercising since I was in high school. I was very fit. I went to the gym and was eating well, so that was definitely a shock. I’m also in the healthcare field, so it was an odd position to be the patient for a change,” Davidson said.

“It was totally outside of my comfort zone, honestly,” Davidson said of the first time she went onstage for the 2011 show.

Librarian’s obituary sparks playwright to create ‘Alabama Story’; ATI to present

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The concept for “Alabama Story” came to Kenneth Jones while reading The New York Times’ obituary of Emily Reed in PLAY 2000.

Reed, who was born in North Carolina in 1910, moved to Indiana as a baby. She grew up in Culver, where her father was a doctor and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

She eventually became the director of the Alabama Public Library Service Division.

“In 1959, she was persecuted by politicians because she defend a children’s book about a white rabbit that marries a black rabbit,” Jones said. “In Montgomery, Alabama, and other places, the mix of races was not embraced. I was fascinated by it. I thought she was a big American character with big ideas and big drive to protect her world.”

Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Indiana premiere of “Alabama Story” Oct. 25 through Nov. 17 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Jones will be there for the opening weekend.

Cynthia Collins plays Reed, who defended keeping Garth Williams’ book “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” in the library. A southern state senator named Edward Oswell Eddins tries to ban the book in 1959, accusing it of promoting integration and interracial marriage.

“These people went to the extreme to stop integration,” Collins said.

Collins said ATI co-founder Don Farrell brought the play as one of his choices to the table for the new season.

“He said, ‘Cindy you could be the librarian, and I can be the senator. These roles are really good for us,’” Collins said.

Collins said she had to read it twice to really sink into it and decided it was a great part.

“She’s kind of an unsung hero, very understated,” she said. “She did win the Freedom to Read medal right before she died. She knew it, but she died before it

could be presented to her.”

Farrell, 50, plays the character based on E.O. Eddins, who is named Sen. E.W. Higgins.

“He was a big segregationist in the lines of (former Alabama Gov. George) Wallace,” said Farrell, who was born in North Carolina and eventually moved to Chattanooga to an Atlanta suburb.

Farrell said it is difficult to repeat some of the racist lines, like “we stick with our own kind.”

“For some reason, it wouldn’t get in my head,” he said. “But growing up, I knew a lot of people that held these beliefs. I don’t think it’s indicative of just the South.

“There are still lessons where we came from and how far we have to go.”

Maeghan Looney, based in Chicago, plays Lily Whitfield.

“Lily is a born and bred daughter of Alabama. Her father is the head of cotton company,” Looney said. “She also grew up in a sheltered bubble.”

Jones created fictional character, Whitfield, and a black man named Joshua Moore, played by Cameron Bass, to illustrate the social environment of the time.

Looney said her character and Moore were childhood friends.

“But they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years,” said Looney, a Huntington North

High School and Ball State graduate. “It’s about coming to grips with what happened in the past. They see it differently because of their place in this era. It’s about how to move forward from there.”

Jane Unger, from Oregon, is serving as director. Unger was contacted just a few weeks before rehearsals began because the original director had to withdraw for family reasons.

Righteous Bros. set for Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com At 79, Bill Medley never considers cutting back his performing dates.

“I tell other people my age CONCERT just keep doing what you are doing,” he said. “If you play golf, keep playing golf every day. Don’t stop.

Don’t give up. I love what I do. I’m scared to death if I would retire and stay home, I would be in real trouble.”

Medley rose to fame as one half of The Righteous Brothers with the late Bobby Hatfield, who died in 2003. Bucky Heard joined Medley in 2016 to reform The Righteous Brothers.

The duo will perform at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Medley and the Hatfield began singing together in 1962.

The Righteous Brothers became known for their blue-eyed soul sound, originally mixing Medley’s bass-baritone voice with Hatfield’s tenor voice. They rose to fame with songs such “Unchained Melody,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ and “Rock and Roll Heaven.”

After Hatfield died at age 63, Medley be-

gan performing in Branson, Mo., for several years.

“Bucky was in Branson, and we were good friends,” he said. “I had a lot of people ask me to keep The Righteous Brothers music alive. In 2016, Bucky and I hooked up. He’s a really great singer. I don’t think you can ever replace Bobby. He was one of the great, great singers to come out of the ‘60s.”

As part of the concert, Medley will sing “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from the 1987 movie “Dirty Dancing” with his daughter McKenna Medley. The original duet was Medley and Jennifer Warnes.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for family on Sweetwater Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: Built in 1974, this waterfront home in Ninevah, Ind., is a welcome weekend getaway destination for a busy Fishers family.

THE CHALLENGE The 1,700-square-foot, two-story home didn’t offer the homeowners and their grown children a lot of livable space, indoors or out.

Odd-sloped ceilings in the living and dining area cut into valuable floor space. The previous addition to the second floor wasn’t taking full advantage of the lake views.

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The small windows in the second-floor living area were replaced with a wide, four-panel sliding glass door, which offers unobstructed views of the water.

2. By adjusting the roofline on the second floor, the sloped ceiling in the living area was removed, providing an openness that the space was initially lacking.

3. Luxury vinyl flooring was chosen for the living area, thanks to its durability and water-resistant properties.

4. The second-floor deck was added and extends past the screened porch to provide ample room for relaxing with friends and family.

5. Tongue-and-groove carsiding was used on the second-floor deck ceiling.

Sydney’s Luna Park face welcomes guests Commentary by Don Knebel Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, is among the world’s most iconic amusement parks.

It also is among the world’s TRAVEL most haunted.

In 1903, Luna Park, a spectacular new amusement park, opened on New York’s Coney Island. The concept soon spread to Australia, with Luna Park Melbourne opening in 1912. In 1935, another Luna Park opened on Milsons Point along the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Luna Park Milsons Point was an immediate success, with people standing in long lines to ride the Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster.

Visitors entered through a huge face, which became the symbol of the park. Luna Park was particularly popular with American sailors on shore leave during World War II, leading to a temporary reputation for prostitution and brawling.

In 1972, at the height of its popularity, Luna Park began staying open year-round, eliminating the winter downtime previously employed to maintain the rides. The decision proved disastrous. In April 1979, 13 people were injured when one Big Dipper car smashed into another stalled by a mal-

function. In June 1979, the park closed after a fire on the Ghost Train killed six children and one adult. The park closed again in 1988 when inspectors found that several of the rides were unsafe. In 1994, noise complaints from nearby residents led to another closure. When Luna Park reopened in 1995 with greatly restricted hours, financial difficulties soon led to yet another closure.

The park reopened in 2004, owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, a government agency. With newer and safer rides, Luna Park is again among Sydney’s most popu-

lar destinations. The 30-foot-wide smiling face at the entrance is the park’s eighth.

Constructed in 1994 from polyurethane and modeled on an image of Old King Cole, it is registered as a heritage site by the government of New South Wales.

Carmel Clay Schools By: Ron Farrand

noun “tautologos,” meaning “repeating what is said.” The Gas City example is an instance of tautophony, which is the repetition of the same sound.

Here’s a sarcastic use of tautology by one of my heroes, Mark Twain: “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

In an age of limited bandwidth and diminished attention spans, brevity is not only the soul of wit, as Shakespeare wrote in “Hamlet,” but brevity is the soul of effective communication.

Can you repeat that again? That’s a prime example of tautology. How about this one: “It’s déjà vu all over again.”

This is one of my favorite Yogi-isms, which is the official term for off-the-wall quotes from legendary baseball hallof-famer Yogi Berra. It’s also redundant and unnecessary. I did it right there; I didn’t need to say redundant AND unnecessary; only one of the words is sufficient.

I suppose if you’re writing poetry, you have an implicit right to exercise tautology to your heart’s content. In areas where you have space to hammer home your meaning, feel free to employ tautology. I think that—in general—we have the poetic capacity of a haiku; every syllable and breath counts.

Maybe I’m beating a dead horse (a.k.a. committing idiomatic tautology) by writing an entire article on tautology.

Perhaps I could have simply said, “Be brief and then be done.” However, I felt it necessary to explore the proverbial halls of the City of Tautology City City Hall.

DISPATCH A quick history of trick-or-treating — Trick-or-treating for candy is synonymous with Halloween, but the tradition had to go through a centuries-long evolution to arrive at the place it is today. Historians agree that a Celtic autumn festival called Samhain was the precursor to modern Halloween. Samhain was a time to celebrate the last harvest of the year and the approach of the winter season. It also was a festival for honoring the dead. One way Celtics may have appeased the spirits they believed still walked the Earth was by leaving treats on their doorsteps. In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. It wasn’t until the 1950s that trick-or-treating for homemade treats gained popularity in the U.S. That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween.
