County stays red, but Democrats gain ground By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Republicans maintained their dominance in Hamilton County in the Nov. 6 election, although Democrats saw more support than at any other time in recent hisELECTION tory and won four races. Voter turnout was high, with many people waiting an hour or more to cast ballots on Election Day. Leaders of both parties were encouraged by the turnout. “It was wonderful to see so much interest in the midterm elections, resulting in Republican victories across Hamilton County and at the state and federal level,” stated Laura Campbell, Hamilton County Republican Party chair, in an email. “Our Republican leadership looks forward to continuing to make Hamilton County a great place to live, work and play, and we thank the voters for their confidence in our leadership.” Although most of the Democratic candidates lost their races, Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Joe Weingarten said the voting split went from approximately 30 percent in favor of Democrats in 2016 to 40 percent this year. “I feel great (about the results),” Weingarten said. “My candidates who lost don’t feel good, and that’s understandable, but the overall momentum that we’re building makes me very hopeful for continuing in the future.” See a full list of Hamilton County election results at youarecurrent.com/?p=170473. Brooks surprised by margin U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, a Republican from Carmel, knew she would not be a shoo-in to retain the 5th District seat she’s held since taking office in 2013. She defeated Democratic challenger Dee Thornton with 58 percent of the vote overall and 61 percent of the vote in Hamilton County. “I’m incredibly humbled and honored that the voters — in even larger margins than I thought — are returning me to Congress for a fourth term,” she said Nov. 7. Indiana’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives remains at seven Republicans and two Democrats, but nationwide the Democrats gained enough seats to take control. Brooks doesn’t believe the political shift

will stop her from getting work done for her constituents. “All of the legislation I’ve done has always had a partner across the aisle,” she said. “Because I’ve done that for six years, I assume I’ll be one of those members the Democrats will reach out to to move legislation.” Ford ousts Delph in District 29 Democrats narrowed the margin of Republican victory in many statewide races, including Hamilton County, but in the race for State Senate District 29 they overcame it. Democrat J.D. Ford, an Indianapolis resident and the first openly-LGBT candidate elected to the Indiana Legislature, defeated incumbent Mike Delph. Delph won Hamilton County with slightly more than 50 percent of the vote, but Ford captured nearly 55 percent in the district, which includes portions of Boone, Hamilton and Marion counties. Ford did not respond to a request for comment, but Weingarten said he was not surprised to see Democrats prevail in the race. CCS incumbents re-elected All three Carmel Clay Schools incumbents will remain on the school board, as voters elected them to four-year terms that begin in 2019. Board President Layla Spanenberg won the race for District 1 with 55 percent of the vote. She defeated political newcomer Sara Elitriby. “Throughout my campaign, I had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful parents, staff members, students and community
members who truly care about Carmel Clay Schools,” Spanenberg stated in an email. “I am proud to serve such an outstanding school district and I am looking forward to working together to continue the tradition of excellence that is Carmel Clay Schools.” Pamela Knowles retained the District 2 seat, defeating Venkata NK Tadikonda by earning 73 percent of the vote. Mike Kerschner held off two challengers, Cinnamon Bell-Williams and Eric Morris, by receiving 48 percent of the vote. Knowles and Kerschner did not respond to requests for comment. Quakenbush elected sheriff Republican Dennis Quakenbush will replace Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, who could not run again because of term limits, in 2019 to serve a four-year term. Quakenbush received 60 percent of the vote, compared to Democrat Jason Straw’s 36 percent and Libertarian Lucy Brenton’s 3 percent. “I have been honored to serve on the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept. for over 16 years,” stated Quakenbush, who serves as the captain of the patrol division for the HCSO. “With that, I am humbled to have received the news that I will be your next sheriff of Hamilton County.” Republicans also retained positions as county coroner, auditor, clerk and across the county council and commission.

Green casts lone vote against new council districts By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council approved new council district boundaries at its Nov. 5 meeting, with Tony Green CITY NEWS — the councilor most affected by the changes — casting the lone opposing vote. Carmel is adding a new city council district as a result of becoming a second-class city. The new councilor will be elected in 2019 and take office in 2020. The council also will add an at-large seat at that time, increasing the council from seven to nine members. The new plan creates west, north, central, northeast, southwest and southeast districts with between 15,000 and 15,600 residents in each. The current councilors reside in separate districts under the new plan, with the future west district not currently having representation. Some of the districts, such as the northeast and central, are geographically similar to existing districts. Green, however, will lose nearly half of his precincts — about 12,000 residents — in the southwest district, he said.

“There is no other district that has that change of representation,” he said, adding that he is “disappointed” that the council didn’t consider an amended plan submitted by Home Place resident Eric Morris. Councilor Sue Finkam served as the city’s redistricting coordinator and worked with the law firm Kroger, Gardis & Regas to draft the city’s plan. Members of the public, including Morris, submitted five other options, but the council supported Finkam’s plan because it had the least deviation from the ideal district population, a number calcu-
lated by dividing the city’s population by the number of districts. Brian Bosma, an attorney with Kroger, Gardis & Regas who also is the speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, said he would’ve encouraged the council to select whichever plan had the least deviation — submitted by the public or not — as long as it met all other requirements. “I would be counseling you to either adopt their plan or change your plan to beat that standard deviation,” Bosma said. “It really is the key.”
Three members of the public spoke against the council’s decision to support its own plan. Bill McGinnis, a Carmel resident who moved back to the city this summer, said he didn’t understand why an unbiased third party wasn’t used to draft a plan rather than a city councilor. “The way this was undertaken seems just a little bit odd to me,” he said. Other concerns included the fact that members of the public did not have an opportunity to amend their plans while the council did and that the guidelines were primarily about avoiding lawsuits, not producing the best plan. Bosma, who said he has helped dozens of local governments follow redistricting law since 1991, said that it was among his goals to help the city avoid going to court over its redistricting process. “My job is to assure that your plan meets all state and federal requirements and it’s not subject to litigation,” Bosma said. “Or if it is subject to litigation, it is successful.” The council expects to file a certified copy of an ordinance establishing the new districts with the clerk of the Hamilton County Circuit Court by Dec. 5.

Christkindlmarkt adds kids’ area By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
Make your wish list and
The inaugural Carmel Christkindlmarkt in 2017 was a huge success by most standards, but there was one FESTIVAL area that some felt was a bit lacking. “Some of the major feedback that we’ve seen on social media and surveys that went out after last year is that guests would really like to see something more for kids to do,” said Richardson Sandra Richardson, who volunteered at the market as a translator and in other roles in 2017. This year, Richardson is working as coordinator of Kinderecke, a new area that will offer a variety of children’s activities. It will be inside a hut stationed near the Glühwein Pyramid. During the first two weeks of the market, which runs Nov. 17 to Dec. 23, woodworkers from Seiffen, Germany, will be based in the Kinderecke hut. The woodworkers were a highlight for many at the 2017 market, including Richardson, who grew up in

a German town an hour away from their workshop. “They are definitely a household name where I’m from,” said Richardson, who first came to the U.S. 20 years ago as an au pair. “I was like, ‘I have to meet them! They are celebrities.’” Volunteers from several local organizations will help run the hut in the final weeks of the market. Children can expect visits from the Christkind and other special guests, write letters to Santa and work on arts and crafts. Learn more at carmelchristkindlmarkt. com/kinderecke.

In addition to reducing and removing funds, the council approved $10,001 for Meals on Wheels, which the commissioners didn’t include in their request. The council also granted an additional $5,000 for Hope Family Clinic. Because the commissioners are the executive branch of the county, they can’t spend outside of what they are appropriated. Altman said the council created a rule that if a request is denied, the request can’t be presented again for a year. Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt’s concern was fairness. He said several of the nonprofits receiving funds from the county also receive funds from Community Development Block Grants. He wants to make sure funds are fairly appropriated. “All I want to do is sit down and look and decide what’s fair,” he said. “I feel bad every time we fund somebody and don’t fund somebody else.” County Council President Steve Schwartz said the council plans to have the nonprofits present on their requests next year as they have in previous years.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dee Timi figured she could find a perfect way to host a tribute to women veterans after PrimeLife Enrichment MILITARY received a grant for $5,000 from the City of Carmel Arts Council. “We had to develop something that was artrelated,” Timi said. “I can write a play or I can do something that will work, and this worked.” Timi Timi, a Westfield resident and PrimeLife activity coordinator, researched for nearly a year to create the program, “Honoring Women Warriors.” She created it from personal stories of some PrimeLife members who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Timi also included her cousin, Victoria Russell-Wilson, who joined the Army in 1976. Timi interviewed the women veterans for the Veterans Day presentation held Nov. 7 at PrimeLife in Carmel. Timi used much of the grant for sound equipment. Carmel resident Tanya Haas was one of the readers.

“My husband is still in inactive reserves for the Navy,” Haas said. “He’s a Navy doctor and did his training in San Diego and was stationed in Camp Lejune, North Carolina for years. We have a lot of friends from our time in the military.” One of the stories was about Fishers resident Aileen Cloonan, 95, who was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corp. in August 1945, near the end of World War II, and discharged in May 1948. Cloonan worked in physical therapy at different stations, including Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh. She served 18 months at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco.

Program helps vets face fears By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com Eric Donoho, a Carmel resident and veteran, has created a program called Reach Out and Care Warriors to proGIVING BACK mote humanitarian work and help veterans face their fears. The program was created with Wayne Hanson, chairman of ROC Wheels. “It’s designed to pull disabled veterans out of their comfort zones and face their fears while highlighting the strengths they have inside,” Donoho said. Six disabled veterans will be chosen to participate. The six-month curriculum will include information on valuable life skills and building and delivering wheelchairs to disabled children in developing countries. “Most veterans’ first experience overseas is war, which can negatively shape their view of the world,” Donoho said. “By taking them overseas again we are asking them to overcome fears, be open to new cultures and hopefully find faith and love for this world.” As a part of the project, participants will identify other areas where they can help the community they are serving to improve quality of life.

Poobah sparks conversation By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com It’s a game with a silly name but a simple goal: Unite people through the power of conversation. Poobah – the ConGAME versation Game is the brainchild of brothers Brent, Brad and Ryan Rockwood. “Each of us has a pretty unique personality, and we wanted a unique name. Something that stood out and was catchy, but also silly,” said Brad, a Carmel resident. “Game play requires that a person lead each conversation and then select a winner. And at the end of the game, the person receiving the most votes is crowned the winner. But really, the game is about the journey, not the destination, so we wanted to select a name that was a light-hearted take on ‘winner.’ We came across ‘The Grand Poobah’ and it fit like a glove.” The idea for the game was sparked when Zionsville resident Brent and his wife, Angie, created a game called High-Low-Silly-Smart to play with their kids. During the game, each person shared a high and low point

of their day as well as something silly and something learned that day. That led to a prototype game with friends providing positive feedback. The Poobah game has 250 cards in five categories relevant for ages 7 and older. It is designed to encourage sharing personal stories to deepen relationships, improve confidence and decision-making, voice opinions, listen to different perspectives, showcase creativity and role-play situations. It aims to spark laughter and make the most of family time. “Our parents, who have been married over 40 years, found themselves discovering new things about each other when playing Poobah,’” Brad said. “It’s a great conversation starter outside of the house as well. We’ve seen Poobah used as an icebreaker at corporate functions, in small groups at church, in classrooms.” Poobah – the Conversation Game is $22. A 30-day project campaign is to be launched on Kickstarter Nov. 13 and end Dec. 14. All contributions will allow the brothers to buy additional inventory while helping publicize the game. A “buy one, donate one” also will be offered with games donated to eligible organizations. Learn more at playpoobah.com.

Robert Clifford shot a tiger who was stalking a platoon point man. (Submitted photo)
Retired Army colonel inducted into Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com At first, Robert Clifford started checking off months on his helmet cover when he arrived in Vietnam in 1967 with the U.S. Army. COVER STORY “Like everybody else, I knew I was going to be there a year,” said Clifford, a Carmel resident. “I started to mark off the months as they went by. I stopped marking them off because on the 16th of May I should have been killed, without question, many, many times. I had bullet holes through my uniform, through my equipment. I spent the afternoon directing about Clifford 85 men in a fight against much larger forces, Viet Cong and mostly NVA (North Vietnamese Army).” Clifford, then a lieutenant in the Army, was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action in Duc Pho during his mission of giving assistance to a beleaguered patrol by extracting their casualties and maintaining contact with the enemy until reinforcements arrived. Part of that gallantry involved rescuing a wounded solider. “(The enemy was) using him. They shot him the first time and he was out in the open,” Clifford said. “To try to draw everybody in to go get him, they would shoot at him. Our guys would keep running out there and get shot. I finally called for open fire for cover and I ran out there and hit him with morphine and dragged him out of there. I had enough cover that I made it, so I stopped scratching off months because this was not in my hands.” Clifford, who concluded his military career as a colonel, was to be inducted into the Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame Nov. 9, held in conjunction with Veterans Day, at the National Guard Armory in Lawrence. A 21-member class was chosen from 55 nominations for the IMVHOF, which was founded in 2013. Clifford served just less than a year in Vietnam. He was sent home two weeks early so he could be home for Christmas in 1967. “The people most killed in Vietnam were the lieutenants, because we were the fifth man in line,” Clifford said. “The bad guys, when they were looking at us, picked the fifth man.” Clifford said there were many atrocities committed by the Viet Cong and NVA. “If anyone did anything wrong in the village they could lose their kid or their head,” he said. “We were careful not to work closely with the (South Vietnamese) villagers or show support. There was no real contact back and forth. We didn’t want them to die.” Clifford graduated from Pennsylvania Military College (now Widener University) in 1965 in Chester, Pa.

He eventually was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 502nd Airborne Infantry. Clifford said since it was guerrilla war, it didn’t make sense to become an Army Ranger like many of his peers and train for by-the-book warfare, so he opted for the Army Special Forces, known as Green Berets. That training served him well, he said. Eventually, Clifford began a stint as an Indiana National Guard officer. He was sent to Slovakia in the mid-1990s when it broke away from the Czech Republic. The Indiana National Guard was assigned as a conduit to Slovakia. “When the Soviet Union collapsed, the countries who had been in the Warsaw Pact wanted protection from Russia,” Clifford said. The Warsaw Pact was a defense agreement between the Soviet Union and seven Soviet satellite states. Clifford’s service ended in January 2000. He served more than 33 years. “I never worried about rank,” he said. “I never worried about awards. I was usually embarrassed by awards. More
During his service in Vietnam, Robert Clifford saved his unit’s point man by shooting a tiger before the animal attacked. Clifford wanted to keep the tiger skin as a souvenir. “There was a place where they would take the tiger and turn it into a beautiful skin, and they’d do the same thing with the head,” Clifford said. Before he could retrieve it, Clifford learned Gen. William Westmoreland, Commander of U.S. forces at the time, presented the tiger skin to a high-ranking South Vietnamese general. “Westmoreland’s comment was, ‘I appreciate the lieutenant shot the tiger, but he was on government payroll at the time, which means we own the tiger,’” said Clifford, who did get his $200 refunded. Clifford is hoping more people will want to hear about his Vietnam War experiences because for so long he didn’t talk about it. “I think about the time when the country turned against the war and guys were getting spat on when they got home,” Clifford said. “When I was going over to Vietnam (in 1967), everyone in the airport wanted to buy me a drink. When I came home I snuck back in. They told me if anyone asked about having a tan, I should say I went to Florida. But it was worse for guys coming back after me. We went in hiding for 40 years. I got a lot of this built up inside.” important to me were the people and the jobs.” Clifford, who also earned a Bronze Star for valor during his service, was nominated for the Hall of Fame by Rock Effron, a Carmel resident and past commander of the Carmel American Legion Post 155. “He had not only a distinguished military career, but so much more,” Effron said. “He does so much for the veterans. He does speaking engagements for Vietnam veterans wherever he can. He teaches people what life really is. His compassion for the veterans and what they do is phenomenal. I did it because he goes above and beyond for anybody you can imagine. He’s an amazing man.” Clifford and his wife, Karen, have two sons, Rob and Scott, both Carmel High School graduates. Rob was on Carmel’s first two boys swimming state championship teams in 1990 and ’91. “When I knew I had been assigned to Indianapolis, Carmel is the place I wanted to come,” said Clifford, who was a coach for Carmel Swim Club when his sons were growing up.

ESSAY Gift of giving
LETTER
Don’t disguise ads
Commentary by Terry Anker Just as sure as the calendar turns and the leaves pile under the trees, our collective thinking lurches forward to the coming season. Hopes fade for family picnics, turning instead towards a crackling fire in the hearth. Retail stores bring forth holiday merchandise with Thanksgiving granted a passing glance before the looming shopping season. In many homes, Halloween decorations are replaced by the flickering lights of Christmas. The resolute among us hold out, with tradition dictating proper attention to each celebration. First, we feast on turkey and stuffing. Then, we plan the roast beef and cranberries. No matter how we mark the season, for most of us it will include giving. We give to those beloved in our homes. We give to our friends and neighbors. We give to our colleagues, employees and to those who provide services to us throughout the year. Still more, we give to those in need. We give to the many institutions and organizations that serve. It is important to give. It feels good, and it matters. Do it. Yet, for many, the time of generosity is challenged by anxiety about how to sort it all out. Even if the desire to give is strong, can we give too much? Which gift is too extravagant? Which agency is most equipped to serve those in need? We are inundated with worthy requests. In 2017, nonprofits sent 166 individual requests to our family from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve – an additional 32 solicitations arrived via the U.S. Postal Service. Some were industrious, sending as many as 11 pleas in the 40-day period. Because we answered the call of many, the mailbox will see scores more this year. Can there be too much?

Since he also had scheduled an orthodontist appointment for Monday, G figured he could stay until Tuesday to vote. Doo and I congratulated ourselves on raising such a mature and responsible heir. Plus, we now had an excuse to see a hibachi chef chuck shrimp tails into his hat. Win-win! Turns out G really couldn’t miss class, and because trying to find an hour to vote from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on a non-holiday Tuesday is nearly impossible for teachers/people who work (and utterly ridiculous if you’re asking me, which you kind of are since you’re reading this!), G and I decided we should cast our ballots early. We started at one of the libraries, where the end of the line snaked through the DVD section. When I jokingly asked a volunteer
if “Pretty Woman” was the three-hour mark, she replied in all seriousness, “Probably. Might be four.” We left. Not to be deterred, we drove to another early voting site, which thankfully had a much shorter wait of only 95 minutes. In the end, I spent almost three hours essentially trapped with my very talkative son who acted like we hadn’t spoken since our last election adventure in 2016. Stephen King, politics, Netflix shows, accounting gibberish, fantasy every-sport — I was utterly exhausted by the time I finally voted. But I made memories with my child, and when I add to those the impressive display of knife-flipping at dinner, it was truly a wonderful birthday celebration. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism. -Alexander Hamilton
Editor, I received your paper the other day and was intrigued that you were endorsing a school board candidate. Your newspaper is local, which I love, but I was surprised to see an endorsement for a position like that. It took some squinting, and my eyes are good, to then see a “Paid for by Spanenberg for School Board.” So that clarified things. When an advertisement is placed on the front page of your paper, with the same color background as the other type, a reader can easily assume you support this person (which you may or may not). I will not be voting for this candidate, which is why I likely noticed the fine print. There are a lot of people in this community, myself included, that respect your paper and basis for opinions, even if I don’t always agree. Not all of us can become as informed on every local issue as we may want to. In those cases we may defer to a local paper like yours. I’m afraid many people may take that advertisement as an actual endorsement and vote accordingly. Kudos to Ms. Spanenberg for publishing an advertisement that comes across as an endorsement. I only wish her communication with the community was as strong as her marketing skills. And I wish Current wouldn’t allow that. Current, please consider making it clear that advertisements like this are truly advertisements and nothing more. Our family advertises in your paper as well. There is no doubt that it is an advertisement, nothing more. We certainly wouldn’t consider disguising an advertisement as an endorsement, intended or not. Jay Danforth, Carmel

READERS’ VIEWS Attacks lead to discouragement, hope Editor, I attended a Community Memorial Gathering (Nov. 1) at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation for the people who were recently killed at the synagogue in Pittsburgh. In one way I feel discouraged at seeing acts of anti-Semitism rise 58 percent since 2016, but another part of my spirit is hopeful, and here is why. There were over 1,000 people from all faiths present to show their support of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Over the last year, I have seen acts of support from the Jewish community for the Muslim community and the Muslim community reaching out in support to the Jewish community as well. This past week we saw people of all faiths build a house for a family through Habitat for Humanity. We have had over 60 people in attendance every Thursday evening of October for Carmel Interfaith Alliance’s “Meet Your Neighbor “series where we had speakers share their beliefs and misconceptions of their faith. The Q & A time, in the end, was valuable as people
learned about a faith tradition that they knew very little about. I am convinced that one of the best ways to decrease prejudice is helping people meet others of another culture or faith tradition. Once we get to know each other as human beings we see how much more we have in common than what divides us. I am looking forward to our Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at Congregation Shaarey Tefilla here in Carmel. With the acts of vandalism that this congregation experienced, I am glad we can have our service at the synagogue to show our support for our Jewish brothers and sisters who live in Carmel. This event is open to the public at no charge. We invite people to bring a non-perishable food item as your offering. This food will go to our local food bank. We will have Scripture readings, singers and speakers from different faith traditions celebrating our American holiday of Thanksgiving. Pastor Jerry Zehr, Carmel, president of the Carmel Interfaith Alliance

Editor, At trial this week, Asian-American plaintiffs described Harvard’s so-called “holistic” admissions process as a pretense to permit Harvard its preferred racial composition by consistently rating Asians lower than any other race on subjective qualifiers, like personality, likability, courage and kindness. Consequently, the same test scores and GPA that afforded an Asian applicant a mere 25 percent Harvard admission chance provided a virtual admission guarantee — 95 percent — for a black applicant. Mimicking Harvard’s racial bean-counting philosophy, at a March 12 meeting, Carmel Clay Schools’ curriculum director, utilizing pie charts dividing students by race, proclaimed that there are too many Asians and whites in CCS’ purportedly over-populated Gifted/ Talented (“GT”) classes. This untenable outcome justified CCS’ planned replacement of the existing GT program with a race-oriented TSCG program (which disturbingly describes children as “subjects” in an “experiment”) that requires removing gifted children from their special classrooms and spreading them among classes with average and lower average achieving peers. TSCG prohibits grouping gifted with high-achieving peers.
TSCG’s first goal as stated on the Purdue College of Education Gifted Education Resource Institute is “to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups ... identified as gifted.” TSCG’s manual emphasizes that under-identification of “certain” minority groups is not acceptable; however, it is easily dealt with as “no limits” are placed on how many children can be identified as gifted, and if the desired demographic result does not materialize, school personnel are directed to “intervene.” Predictably, the subjective approach that Harvard used to punish Asians would similarly be used at CCS to penalize Asians and whites to achieve CCS’ stated racial composition goals by recognizing proportionally fewer Asians and whites, relative to other groups, of gifted ability, and/or CCS will otherwise dilute existing achievement standards to achieve race goals. Perhaps, like Harvard, if CCS implements TSCG, CCS also will ultimately suffer a DOJ investigation or class action in resistance. Please join other concerned Carmel parents on the Carmel Clay School parents for discussion on the Challenge Program group on Facebook. Scott Dillon, Carmel

Not-so macho man Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I had a chainsaw at our old house but found it to be very inefficient. I took it back to the dealer and told him it HUMOR took me hours to cut down one little limb. “Let me give it a try,” said the clerk, who then pulled the cord. Varoom! “Geez, what’s that noise?” I asked. “It never did that before.” “Look, Mr. Wolfsie, I once saw you walk into a plate-glass window on your morning TV segment. You are not someone who should mess with power tools.” I’m actually very good with power tools. I have never once had a problem starting my lawn mower. I did have one accident, though. I almost broke my nose when I tripped over the extension cord to my weed wacker. The chainsaw had been untouched in our old garage for about 25 years, which also is true of Step 4 of the Scott’s lawn fertilizer, because by the end of fall, I really don’t care what my lawn looks like. During last year’s storms, a fairly goodsized tree had blown down and grazed the
side of the house. My wife immediately panicked. “Relax,” I told her. “We’re OK.” “No, we’re in danger! This means you’re going to use that chainsaw.” The next day, I dug through the garage and found it. There was one doo-dad labeled “choke,” and I did. There was a little plastic bubble that I vaguely remembered I had to push several times. I pulled the cord 30 times. Suddenly, the motor began to hum. But the chain didn’t turn. I found a nearby repair shop and drove over. An elderly gentleman asked if he could assist me. He picked up the saw, pushed a button and said: “The safety was on.” I didn’t bat an eye. “Thanks! What do I owe you?” I asked the man, who now looked vaguely familiar. “Forget it,” he offered. Then, as I started to leave, he added: “Be careful, Mr. Wolfsie. You’re about to walk into another plate-glass window.”

Cancer survivor gives address By Desiree Williams news@currentincarmel.com Michelle Shaffer has checked off another item on her bucket list: college. She obtained a master’s degree in PROFILE nursing education in September, and on Nov. 3 she delivered the commencement address for the online school Western Governors University. “The theme of my speech is (it’s) the moments and the people in your life that make the changes in your life,” the Carmel resident said. “I had no intentions of ever being a nurse, no intentions of being an instructor, and no intentions of combining the two, and now here I am.” Her journey wasn’t easy. Shaffer earned a GED after dropping out of high school during her senior year and picked up small jobs along the way. When she and her husband married, they brought together a combined five children and then added two more through a custody battle and taking in a friend. Shortly after custody was finalized in 2010, Shaffer was diagnosed with breast cancer. She opted for a 19-hour bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. “I try to live every day to its fullest,” she

said. “I make sure to get those experiences that I always say that I want to do someday, but prior to my diagnosis, I’d say, ‘Oh, eventually I’ll do it,’ and I would never think twice about it.” One of her goals was college. She began at Ivy Tech just before her surgery and only missed one week of classes. She was pursuing a different health care degree but said the care from her nurses after surgery inspired her to join the RN-MSN program at WGU. Since January 2018, Shaffer has combined her passion for nursing and education as a nursing instructor at Ivy Tech. “I love seeing the lightbulbs go off and watching the students put things together,” she said.

Background checks: No $15 cure Commentary by J. Douglas Kouns Background checks mean a variety of things. For a federal-level posiPLAIN TALK tion, a background check means a thorough investigation of one’s adult life. There will be an examination of character, ability, reputation, associates, prejudices, financial responsibility, alcohol/drug use and hidden skeletons. All of a person’s residences, employment, education, financials, social and political affiliations are thoroughly checked, in-person, by investigators that conduct interviews with neighbors, co-workers, employers and associates. Everything is verified. Discrepancies and omissions are vetted. The cost of such a background check can run thousands of dollars depending on the complexity of the applicant’s life. Not every organization’s employees need that level of scrutiny; what really needs to be addressed is criminal history. Some equate a criminal history with a background check. There is no single source for criminal histories, no all-encompassing national database. The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Service maintains the largest base, the National Crime Information Center. Many
believe all arrest and conviction records are entered into this system, but they are not. It is dependent on federal, state and local agencies supplying the data. It is estimated 30 percent to 50 percent of arrests do not make it into NCIC. There is no law defining what is submitted to NCIC. Contributing agencies determine what is provided. For a complete criminal history, it is necessary to check every state, county and city where the person lived. Only then, can one be certain a thorough background check has been conducted. When companies advertise $15 background checks, it should be a red flag they are not thoroughly investigating. A $15 background cannot be conducted with any degree of competence. A NCIC report is a start, but a comprehensive background screening must include researching official court records and conducting interviews. This takes time, effort and expense, but as they say, “You get what you pay for.” J. Douglas Kouns is the chief executive officer of Carmelbased Veracity IIR, a global intelligence, investigation and research firm. For more, email him at doug@veracityiir.com.

Freddy’s planned in west Carmel By Maria Cook news@currentincarmel.com Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is looking to open a second Hamilton County restaurant in west EXPANSION Carmel. ICT LLC, which owns and operates the fast-causal burger chain, has filed plans for a restaurant at 9701 N. Michigan Rd. The vacant 1.3-acre site is at the northeast corner of Michigan Road and 97th Street. ICT LLC’s proposal for the new 3,710-square-foot restaurant is planned to go before the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals. Freddy’s operates a restaurant in Westfield at 2740 E. 146th St., its only Hamilton County location. The chain is known for its classic American 1950s atmosphere and steakburgers, shoestring fries and vanilla and chocolate frozen custard. Freddy’s locations feature dining areas and drive-thrus. According to Freddy’s Public Relations Specialist Kim Huynh, Carmel would be an ideal place. “We want to be a convenient dining option for guests in different parts of town,”

Huynh said. “In our first Hamilton County location, we got really good feedback from everyone, so we’re confident about Carmel.” Huynh said Blake Epperson of Indianapolis would be the franchise owner of the new location, should plans move forward. She also said that Freddy’s is not concerned about competing with Carmel’s many other burger restaurants, such as Burgerhaus, Bub’s, Bru Burger, Punch Burger and Steak ‘n Shake. “What sets us apart is the hospitality aspect,” Hunyh said. “We’re convenient, we cook made-to-order steakburgers and Vienna beef hotdogs, but what we really do is we make an effort to become familiar with our guests. We know their favorite menu items and we connect with them.”

Saxophonist James to perform at Palladium By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Boney James’ jazz style leans more to the rhythm and blues side. Some have described his jazz as muscular MUSIC and gritty. “I’ve never thought of myself as a smooth jazz artist, per se. I’ve always been grateful those stations play my music,” James said. “I just try to be me. I don’t know if I fit so neatly into any category. I’m sure every artist feels that way. I just try to do my own thing.” James, a four-time Grammy Award nominee, will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “It’s a beautiful venue. We’re really excited about going back,” said James, who previously visited in April 2016. James has been touring since the album “Honestly” came out in September 2017. James said the tour will likely extend through the summer of 2019. “The record has got such legs, it’s all good,” James said. “We just had the third No. 1 single (‘Up All Night’) off the record and two R&B singles.’” The album is James’ 16th. “Every record is my baby and I’m in love with it. I still feel very fondly about all the work I’ve put in,” James said. “This record did feel special when I turned it in. All I can really judge is how the fans are reacting to it. This one just felt like the songwriting was really, really strong and it seems like everyone else is agreeing.” James co-wrote all but one track, a rendition of Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael’s “Skylark.” James said four to five songs will be part of the concert set. “It’s tough in a 90-minute show because you have to figure out where you are going to put all the new music because there are all these other songs people want to hear,” James said. “Invariably, you’ll hear, ‘How come you didn’t play so and so.’ I quote k.d. Lang, the great artist, who I heard say on stage one time, ‘Too many hits, too little time.’” James said as the tour goes on, they add songs or change things.
Palladium’s 2019 events on sale editorial@youarecurrent.com Tickets for 2019 events at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel went on sale Nov. 9.

“We just added that third single that went to No. 1,” James said. “There is a little tweaking, too. We change the arrangements, too, because sometimes someone will do something on stage. We’ll say, ‘That’s cool. Let’s put that in.’ It’s a little bit of a work in progress.” There is some improvisation, too. “It’s a nice combination of scripted and fresh every night, which is kind of a cool thing,” James said. Joining James on stage are a guitaristvocalist, bass player and keyboard player. They play at a variety of venues on the tour. “We play the Hollywood Bowl, which is
about 17,000 people, and then we are playing Jazz Alley in Seattle, which is like 250,” James said. “So, it runs the gamut.” James said the live music experience is more important than ever. “People are looking for moments to feel good now,” he said.James, who also plays keyboards, toured with Morris Day and then the Isley Brothers and others before embarking on his solo career.

CSO and CHS orchestra to perform
Window & Door Replacement
RIGHT PRODUCT. RIGHT PRICE. RIGHT NOW.
By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com When Janna Hymes became music director for the Carmel Symphony Orchestra in September 2017, one of her goals MUSIC was to partner with the Carmel High School orchestra as an educational outreach. Little more than a year later, her objective has been accomplished. On Nov. 18, the CSO will perform a sideby-side concert with the CHS orchestra at 4 p.m. in the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The orchestras will perform three movements from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony. The piece, according to CSO education director Laura Payne, is a favorite of both orchestras. “We will have two rehearsals together before the performance,” Payne said. “The high school musicians have been preparing the Dvorak symphony during the semester, and the CSO musicians have performed it many times.” The concert will be the first time the orchestras have performed together. “A collaboration between adult and stu-

dent musicians is always a win-win for both groups,” Payne said. “The adults can share their expertise with the students, and the students can share their enthusiasm for performing with adults.” Carmel Symphony Orchestra will open with “The Inferno Dance” by Stravinsky, followed by Maya Kilburn, the 2018 Young Artist competition winner, performing the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto in D Major.” The CHS Strings will then perform “Jig” from Hoist’s “St. Paul Suite.” The concert will conclude with the orchestras joining for the Dvorak symphony.

ATI presents holiday classic By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Suzanne Fleenor, there is one major mission in presenting “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio THEATER Play.” “I think the greatest challenge is to bring as much warmth and humanity to the radio play as you see in the movie because it’s such an iconic Pfeiffer movie,” Fleenor said. The Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Christmas favorite Nov. 16 to Dec. 23 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The play is a tribute to live radio in the 1940s and Frank Capra’s holiday film classic, which starred Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed as George and Mary Bailey. “I’ve never done a radio play before. I usually direct musicals,” Fleenor said. ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald, Cynthia Collins and Don Farrell are all performing in the production. Fitzgerald, a Carmel resident, portrays Sally Applewhite, who is the voice of Mary Bailey. “I’ve never done this show before and I’ve
seen (the movie) a zillion times,” Fitzgerald said. “I listened to the radio show they did do with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. You want to sound as much like them as you can.” Paul Tavianini, making his ATI debut, portrays Jake Laurents, who does the voice of George. Tavianini performed as George in a Ball State live radio play for Indiana Public Radio in Cohen 2016. “It’s a reminder what this form (radio) used to be back in the day and it’s fun to do it even now,” Tavianini said. Westfield resident Annabelle Pfeiffer, 10, plays Zuzu. Pfeiffer has previously acted in Christian Youth Theater. “I just (recently) saw the movie and I really liked it,” said Pfeiffer, an Oak Trace Elementary fourth-grader. Carmel resident Sadie Cohen, 9, portrays Young Mary. “I don’t think there are any bad words in this one,” said Cohen, a West Clay Elementary fourth-grader. “I’ve never been in a (regular) play before, but I’ve been in musicals.”

SAVE THE DATE 3UP Rooftop Bar’s Impossible Sliders are vegan but have the taste and texture of a grilled burger. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
PROUDLY BRINGS YOU:
3UP Rooftop Bar Commentary by Anna Skinner
December 8, 4-6 p.m. Free & Open to the Public Visit our Facebook page for updates @CarmelPorchfest Sponsored By
Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Impossible Sliders Price: $14 Anna’s take: 3UP Rooftop Bar is breathtaking because of its atmosphere and panoramic view of downtown Carmel. The food only adds to that. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Outside heaters keep you warm even in winter. 3UP allowed me to try several items, including shaved brussels ($11), short rib slammers ($15), fried oyster po’boy ($24) and Impossible Sliders ($14). My personal favorite was the Impossible Sliders, two sandwiches topped with a kale and cilantro salad, a chili lime dressing and served on a pretzel bun. The meat is plant-based and completely vegan. I’ve had my share of vegan and vegetarian burgers, and they’ve never fully satisfied me because of the different texture. But these did. They are stacked high and are a wonderfully filling meal. If I wasn’t told the meat was vegan, I would have had no idea. The shaved Brussels is a Brussels sprouts salad dish stacked with charred
Brussels leaves tossed with raisins, walnuts, candied bacon and a lemon poppyseed vinaigrette. The salad tastes like a mix of the seasons because it has wintery ingredients such as Brussels sprouts, but the candied bacon and lemon poppyseed vinaigrette reminded me of summer. The short rib slammers are a housebraised short rib with smoked onions and queso blanco cheese sandwiched between a pretzel bun and served with a side of 3UP’s “hot chips.” The sliders are served with a house-made English sweet and spicy pickle. The fried oyster po’boy nearly beat out the Impossible Sliders as my favorite, because I am a sucker for anything oyster. 3UP takes the mess out of a po’boy by serving the dish open-faced on a bed of field greens. The oysters are dusted with a Delaware Bay seasoning and pan fried, then nestled against a peach chorizo chutney and a grilled piece of Cajun toast. Although 3UP is on the second floor above the formal and elegant Anthony’s Chophouse, the vibe is different. 3UP encourages shared plates and is an inviting place for friends to enjoy cocktails before an evening out. Suggested pairings: Pair both slammers with the Blueberry Botanical, a light, refreshing cocktail featuring gin, basil and lime juice. Pair the fried oyster po’boy with the Smoked Pineapple, a mezcal-centric drink which tastes slightly smoky due to the sweet and salty rim and the mezcal, which is sweeter, richer and smokier than tequila.
Behind bars: Blueberry Botanical Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Bombay Sapphire, .75 oz. Blueberry simple syrup, .75 oz. lime juice, .75 oz. St. Elder, 2 basil leaves Directions: Muddle basil leaves and blueberry simple syrup in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, add ice, shake and double strain into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a basil leaf.

Return on investment: priceless Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard The next time you’re enjoying the company of family or friends, take some time to look around the room and consider the following statistics: OUTDOORS In 2010, more than 3.7 million baby boomers turned 60, according to U.S. Census information. Eighty percent of Americans over age 50 want to remain in their current homes, according to AARP. More than 90 percent of the existing housing stock is not accessible and at least 21 percent of U.S. households have at least one person with a physical limitation, according to the Journal of American Planning Association. The numbers above do not take into account shortterm disabilities, such as recovery from broken bones or surgery. Nor do they consider the guests we invite into our homes. Have you ever had a 19-year-old recover from knee surgery on your family room couch? How easy is it for mom and dad to negotiate the steps outside the front door? Can grandma get into the powder room with
her walker? “Visitability” is a movement spreading nationwide that encourages homeowners and designers to create homes that can be lived in or visited by people with limited mobility while comfortably fitting and supporting their various lifestyles. Visitability is a design approach that, at a minimum, will accommodate getting into the home, pass through doorways and enter a bathroom. We must recognize that our abilities will change over time. If we want to grow old in our homes, our homes must accommodate our changes and not necessitate moving to stay safe. Cost to enlarge a doorway? Not much. Cost to eliminate steps at an entry door? A little more. Not having to move to a facility where we could be “safe?” Priceless.
We must recognize that our abilities will change over time. If we want to grow old in our homes, our homes must accommodate our changes and not necessitate moving to stay safe.

The Mona Lisa of prehistory Commentary by Don Knebel Athens’ National Archaeological Museum is one of the world’s greatest museums, exhibiting 11,000 items that showcase Greek civilizations from prehistory to late antiquity. Its most celebrated, as well as most TRAVEL controversial, possessions is a death mask discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann that has been called the “Mona Lisa of prehistory.” Schliemann was the most famous archaeologist of the 19th century, known as much for his self-promotion, sometimes based on outright falsehoods, as for his archaeological discoveries. He is best known for having uncovered what he claimed was the legendary City of Troy, the site of the Trojan War made famous by the “Iliad.” Convinced that Homer’s epic poem was based on actual events, Schliemann set out to find the tomb of Agamemnon, the mythical king of Mycenae who commanded the victorious Greek forces against the Trojans and was murdered upon his return by his wife’s lover. In 1876, while digging at Mycenae, Schliemann found five well-preserved male bodies, the face of each covered by a mask. The most elaborate of the masks, made from a sheet of gold hammered over a wooden mold, showed a bearded man with his eyes appearing both open and closed. The ears were cut out to allow the mask to be fastened to the head with string. Claiming the mask resembled an illustration of Agamemnon, Schliemann told the king of Greece he had gazed into the face of the legendary king. Some skeptics, influenced by Schliemann’s truth problems, claimed he forged the mask from the illustration and planted it at the excavation site. However, most scholars believe the so-called “Mask of Agamemnon” is authentic, but fashioned in about 1500 B.C., 300 years before the reck-

Deciphering a meeting request Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt You snagged that great job at the hot new tech startup where they play ping pong on scooters. Your title is probably something like “chief dreamer,” GRAMMAR GUY “director of awesome,” or something else vague and millennial-friendly. Now, you get an email from the HR director (whose business card reads “VP of Hugs”) which states your paycheck will come biweekly. Does that mean you’ll get paid twice a week or every other week? With the big stack of cash your CEO just raised, they could probably afford to pay you twice a week, but it’s more likely biweekly here means you’ll get paid twice a month. Couldn’t your company’s VP of Hugs have also said you’ll get paid “semiweekly?” I’ve always been confused about the meaning and usage of “bi-” and “semi-.” In general, the prefix bi- means two or twice. Think about a bicycle with its two wheels or the bicentennial, which happened in 1976 to celebrate the United States’ 200th birthday. Semi- means half. A semi-professional basketball player is somewhere halfway between an amateur and a pro. A store’s semi-
annual sale happens twice per year. So why all the confusion? Both a biannual meeting and a semiannual meeting occur twice a year, based on how they’re commonly used. I’ve worked for employers who pay bimonthly (twice a month) and others who pay biweekly (every other week). That’s inconsistent, or ambiguous at best. Although vague job titles are all the rage right now, vague meanings for words that describe how often things reoccur are just confusing. This ambiguity isn’t new, unlike the weird startup company titles. I recommend getting a job description in writing that spells out what exactly your new company’s expectations of you are and specify you want to get paid in U.S. dollars instead of a cryptocurrency your founder invented. When it comes to how often a meeting happens, try to avoid confusion by saying “twice a week,” “every other week,” or “twice a month.” Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer.

As bacteria and fungi grow, your feet also become more vulnerable to infections such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus. To make matters worse, athlete’s foot itself can create foot odor, too. Daily showering is an important step in fighting any type of body odor, but shower with antibacterial soap, dry your feet carefully (between your toes, too) and use antibacterial and antifungal foot powders and sprays that help keep feet dry. If these products don’t do the job, you also can use an antiperspirant on your feet.
