Risk-free debt? CRC leader, experts explain

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Before jumping into a discussion about $39 million in bonds proposed to fund imREDEVELOPMENT provements to four Carmel projects, city officials at the Nov. 18 city council meeting made two things clear: Taxpayers would not be on the hook for repayment of any type and they didn’t believe the bonds should be added to the city’s debt total — even though the Dept. of Local Government Finance will count it that way.

Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky told the city council that “it is a positive thing for the city” whenever developer-backed bonds are proposed, as all of the risk would fall on developers.

The city is only Mestetsky involved, he said, because developers are using tax increment financing — which captures increased property tax revenues that result through improvements in a certain area designated by the city — to fund aspects of the projects, such as parking garages and infrastructure improvements, which add to a project’s viability. State law requires the city to be the issuer of bonds when TIF funds are the repayment source.

After the city issues the bonds, Mestetsky said its only role is to route property taxes captured through the TIF district to the bondholder, which is either the developer or its lender. If TIF revenues fall short of projections, the bondholder would take the hit through lower-than-expected bond payments. If the bondholder is a lender, the developer would be responsible for covering the

difference. If the developer holds the bond, it may not recover all of its investment. Either way, the city would never be required to cover any shortfalls, Mestetsky said.

Even if a developer were to go bankrupt halfway through constructing a project, another developer would purchase the building and complete the project, Mestetsky said. City officials want a tax-generating building, and once it’s complete, Mestetsky said the city and taxpayers aren’t directly affected by who owns it.

“From the city’s perspective, we have an awesome-built project,” he said. “A developer has to take a haircut on the bond, because it’s now bringing in less than what’s projected. The city’s not on the hook. The city is still getting a bunch of tax revenue.”

Paul Helmke, a professor in IU’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs and former mayor of Fort Wayne, said he hadn’t seen details regarding Carmel’s proposed bonds but that he found it “hard to imagine” that the city wouldn’t have any liability in the deal. But, it shouldn’t be something that worries taxpayers, he said.

“Technically, anytime the city is issuing a bond, there is some level of risk for the city, but it’s so miniscule

that it’s hardly worth talking about,” he said. “I don’t know of any situation anywhere where a TIF bond has never been repaid, whether the developer is holding the bonds or not.”

At the Nov. 18 meeting, city officials bemoaned the fact that the bonds — if approved — will be counted by the DLGF as Carmel debt. Currently the DLGF lists Carmel’s debt at nearly $1.4 billion, the third highest municipal debt load in Indiana.

“It’s completely misleading the way DLGF counts developer bonds as Carmel debt,” Mestetsky said.

But Craig Johnson, an associate professor in IU’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs who has written extensively — and sometimes critically — about the use of TIF districts, said he believes the DLGF’s system makes sense.

“The (bond payment) funds come from property taxes that are expected to be generated by the development, but they’re still coming from the property tax, which is still paid by property taxpayers,” Johnson said.

Mestetsky said the taxes captured from the proposed TIF districts would only be coming from one taxpayer: the developer, who is already taking the risk.

INTENTIONAL TIMING ON BOND VOTE? The Carmel City Council’s Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee met Nov. 26 to discuss the proposed bonds and the developments they support. The three-member committee voted unanimously on each project to send the items back to the full council with a favorable recommendation.

The council’s next meeting is set for 6 p.m. Dec. 2 at City Hall, less than a month before newly elected councilors take office. City Council President Jeff Worrell said the timing of the vote on the projects has nothing to do with the upcoming changes.

“These projects come through when they’re ready to come through. It has nothing to do with this (specific) council,” he said. “There’s really no risk to the taxpayers, so these are easy decisions. The assessed value and the projects themselves are all legitimate, great projects, but also developers are trying to get things in line so they can start digging come spring.”

$374K fix costs more than noisy chiller did

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After two years of noise complaints, the City of Carmel is spending significantly more CITY NEWS money to quiet a chiller than it did to install it in the first place.

The city’s Board of Public Works recently approved spending $374,500 on noise mitigation for the chiller, which the city installed for $238,000 in 2017.

The Carmel City Council on Nov. 18 approved transferring $275,000 from the general fund to the 2019 building operations budget to cover the fix.

“Noise has been an ongoing problem since the chiller was installed.

This is actually a very common problem with chillers, which is why there are companies who develop solutions to mitigate the noise,” city spokesman Dan McFeely stated in an email.

“Last summer, the mayor directed the city to fix the noise problem this year.”

Westfield-based eNoise Control will use a crane to construct a six-sided acoustic barrier enclosure that is 20 feet wide, 58 feet long and 20 feet high. Installation is expected begin

the first week of December and take approximately two weeks.

This is not the city’s first attempt to quiet the chiller. In May 2018, the Carmel Redevelopment Commission spent approximately $30,000 to install a wrap that led to a two-thirds reduction in the noise level, according to professionals who worked on the project.

The chiller is on top of a brick structure between a parking garage and the Mezz 42 apartments, which is along 3rd Ave SW south of City Center Drive. It is used to cool the city’s outdoor ice skating rink in the winter and several nearby buildings including the Palladium and City Hall, in warmer months. The noise has led some Mezz 42 tenants to move elsewhere.

Woodbrook entrance moving

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The front entrance to Woodbrook Elementary will soon be relocated from the east to the EDUCATION north side of the building to make it adjacent to the main office.

The Carmel Clay Schools board of trustees on Nov. 25 approved a bid award of $525,000 to JBM Contractors Corp. to complete the project, which is designed to improve safety and security at the school on E. 116th St. “This is the only school we have that does not have direct access when you come in, as you’re not coming into the McMichael office area,” CCS Associate Supt. for Business Affairs Roger McMichael said. “This modification

will change this so this new entrance will bring outside visitors directly into the main office area.”

Construction is expected to begin in early February 2020 and be complete by the end of June. The project is not expected to disrupt students or classrooms, although some staff areas will be reconfigured and temporarily relocated.

CHS UPGRADES COMING The school board awarded $2.4 million in bids for remodeling of Carmel High School’s counseling, student services and activities area and the health center. The project also includes security upgrades at Door 4, which provides access to the health center and student services.

Construction is expected to begin in early December and be complete by Aug. 7, 2020.

Help requested as county’s caseload highest per judge

By Sadie Hunter Sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past year, Hamilton County officials have been working to get help with its increasing COURTS court caseload. Now, the request is ready for state approval at the start of 2020.

The Hamilton County commissioners, council and prosecutor approved resolutions during the summer supporting the addition of a new magistrate Hughes judge. There currently are three in the county. In August, the request was formally sent to the state for review by the Interim Study Committee on Courts and the Judiciary.

On Oct. 17, the committee voted in favor of hiring a new magistrate. Magistrates typically handle less complex cases than a judge and have limited powers.

State Rep. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) said she plans to author legislation for the session that begins in January to support the addition of a magistrate. If approved, the new magistrate will aid the county’s six superior court judges and circuit court judge for large cases’ preliminary hearings and cases that involve minor offenses.

Hamilton County Superior Court 3 Judge William Hughes said the process is normal when communities and counties grow. Statewide, the population growth rate is approximately 2.5 percent. Hamilton County’s rate the past decade is 17 to 18 percent.

“We have come to be the fourth-largest county in the state. We are projected to be the third-largest county in the state by the end of the decade and the second-largest by 2050 if our current rate of growth continues,” Hughes said. “This is a good thing, but with people come

cases that require court intervention.

We are way behind everybody else.

The next closest county to us has one judicial officer for every 16,000 people.

We have one person for every roughly, 29,500 people.”

All Indiana judges work under a Weighted Caseload Measurement System, which sets the rate caseload per judge.

“It was an effort years ago to quantify how much judicial time could be expected to be used for a specific case type,” Hughes said.

Schaibley “Take the number of those cases filed with the amount of time that’s necessary and divide it amongst the judicial time that’s available. Everybody in our county is at about 1.3, (meaning) of the 10 people we have, we really need somewhere between 13 and 14 to do the work based on the amount of time available and the kinds of cases that are filed.

That puts us in a high-need position.”

The limited space available in the judicial center in Noblesville is another challenge for the county.

“We have a wonderful judicial center, but it is pretty full,” Hughes said.

“If we didn’t have this space issue, we probably would have requested more (judges) this time than we did.

I think you will probably find us requesting more in a couple of years and thereafter.”

Hughes said the inability to meet the need and the ever-increasing amount of cases isn’t for lack of trying. Judges often work long hours through the week, but Hughes said processing cases is still falling behind.

“The biggest (issue) is probably in the delay there is to get something done,” Hughes said. “Our pending caseloads have not kept pace with where they should be, based upon the new filings. We’re working hard, but we’re not getting things done as quickly as we were.”

100+ Women Who Care of Hamilton County members display $100 checks to give to local nonprofits. (Submitted photo)

Group raises $40K in 2 years

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com In only two years, a small group of Hamilton County women has raised more than PHILANTHROPY $40,000.

Wrapping up 2019 with its final quarterly meeting of the year Nov. 13, the Hamilton County chapter of 100+ Women Who Care presented a $9,400 check to its most recent beneficiary, Fishers Youth Assistance Program.

“This organization is for women with a desire to impact the community but are constrained by time,” said Dana Randall, who co-founded the Hamilton County chapter with Carolyn Deines and Mary Beth Woehrle. “It provides a simple way to make a collective impact much greater than what one individual can do alone. (It) provides a way to impact multiple nonprofits throughout the year.”

Since its founding in August 2017, the chapter has granted $40,650 to Hamilton County-based organizations

that help others.

Beneficiaries are chosen after members nominate a local charity. Three nominations are randomly drawn, and the nominating members then each make a five-minute presentation about their nonprofit. One charity is selected by member votes and is awarded the collective donation of a $100 personal check from each member.

German 5K moves to Carmel

By Sadie Hunter Sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past decade, a culturally themed race and walk has brought German heritage to downEVENT town Indianapolis.

Now in its 11th year, the Sankt Nikolaus 5K Lauf will shift to Carmel’s Christkindlmarkt at 11 a.m.

Dec. 7.

“For the past 10 years, the event was held in Indianapolis at the Athenaeum/Das Deustche Haus,” said Brian Griesemer, race director and board member of the Indiana German Heritage Society, which organizes the event. “This year, we moved the event to Carmel to align ourselves with the third annual Carmel Christkindlmarkt to see if there is a long-term fit.”

Griesemer said the 5K began as an IGHS outreach program with the goal of promoting German culture throughout the state.

“This particular event promotes the history of St. Nikolaus, his generosity

and his travel companions Ruprecht and Krampus, which is considerably different than other running/walking events,” he said.

Despite being relatively small compared to other 5Ks in central Indiana, the IGHS event supports charities, including Riley Children’s Hospital, the Athenaeum Foundation, Girls on the Run Marion County, Lutheran Family and Child Services and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, solely from 5K proceeds.

Registration is $40. To learn more or sign up, visit runsignup.com/Race/ IN/Indianapolis/SanktNikolausDayLauf.

CCHS home tour returns Dec. 6-7

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The 23rd annual Holiday Home Tour will offer a bit of everything for visitors this season.

“I like this year’s homes CCHS because it’s such a wide variety in style,” said Vivian Lawhead, who is co-chair of the event with Susan Anderson. “It’s not necessarily all historical homes, but they all have their own key interest. We have a couple of homes that have been constructed recently but have been decorated with the owners’ antiques.

We have a mid-century modern home.

We have one very traditional home and one historic home. All age groups of adults are going to enjoy this tour because the variety, decor and architecture is so different.”

The Holiday Home Tour will feature six homes around the Carmel Arts & Design District.

The tour is set from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com The Altrusa Club of Hamilton County is celebrating 30 years of giving back and making a difference CLUBS for Hamilton County residents. The club was chartered in 1989 at Woodland Country Club in Carmel and is a local chapter of Altrusa International.

Altrusa International, which focuses on community service, was founded in Nashville, Tenn., in 1917. During that time, a record number of women were in the workforce during World War I, and there was a need for women’s civic organizations.

“The big emphasis is getting people together to find a need within the community and working to end that need,” club member Joanne Kemp Walk.pdf 12:47 PM said. “In 2the 11/14/19 past, we’ve worked a lot to advance literacy in Hamilton County.”

“When teams get to compete against us, they get fired up,” Gentilcore said. “They want to beat Carmel, and where else are they going to get that opportunity?”

Gentilcore said the next step is to develop a computer lab so his school can host larger gaming sessions with other teams.

Senior Alex Bogue started playing with the school team earlier in 2019 and became a social media officer.

“I have to fight this stigma of people thinking gamers are nerdy kids that aren’t as cool,” Bogue said. “Look at me. I help run this club after being involved in nothing (school-wise) my freshman and sophomore year. I’m involved with multiple teams.”

Bogue also helps on a school radio show, where esports and performing arts are main topics.

Boy Scout Troop celebrates 50 years

By Renee Larr news@currentincarmel.com Scouting is sometimes a family tradition, but rarely do children get to join the same ANNIVERSARY Troop that their parents did.

Boy Scout Troop 131, however, has a few second-generation members.

This year marks the troop’s 50th anniversary.

Established in 1969, the Troop has approximately 55 Scouts and produces a high number of Eagle Scouts — around five — each year. Steve Simmons, who has served as Troop 131’s Scoutmaster for more than four years, said Troop 131 is the second-oldest Boy Scout Troop in Carmel.

“Around a month-and-a-half ago, we had what we call our Court of Honor, where we hand out all the merit badge patches and recognize the kids that got their Eagle and things of that nature,” Simmons said. “The theme of it was the 50th anniversa-

ry, so we dredged up a bunch of old photographs.”

Troop 131 has produced more than 150 Eagle Scouts during its 50 years.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank a Scout can achieve. To achieve the rank, a Scout must show good leadership abilities and complete a service project to help the community, among other qualifiers. Simmons said teaching leadership skills is a major focus for Troop 131.

“Troop 131 is a typical Boy Scout

Troop. We go and teach these young men to be leaders, and that’s the whole purpose, to teach these boys how to be leaders,” Simmons said.

“Three years ago, my son, who at the time was 14 years old, was a senior patrol leader, and he ran our Winter Camperee. It was attended by 350 people, and there was a 14-year-old running it. There aren’t too many programs out there that develop that kind of leadership.”

Earlier this year, the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, 1717 FOOD INSECURITY Pleasant St., Noblesville, partnered with Be Well Family Care in Carmel to create a garden tower, which is a multi-level planter capable of growing up to 70 or more plants within a minimal amount of space and the ability to create its own compost.

“The basic idea is just to be able to grow a lot of food in a really small space and to do it with the minimum amount of resources, not only from a time perspective, but also from a resource perspective,” said Andrew Fritz, urban agriculture conservationist with the Hamilton County SWCD. Participants in Carmel’s Kids Serving Carmel Camp, a program of the Kiwanis Club of Carmel, planted the garden tower during the spring. It provided a teaching opportunity for

“The current food insecurity rate is 10 percent in Hamilton County,” Fritz said. “Food insecurity can look different to different people.”

Tragedy inspires Carmel teen to race, give hope to hurting

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com It’s a bit ironic that Jack Dorsey felt nervous about the tests he needed to pass to get his driver’s license.

COVER STORY He’d already spent a number of years behind the wheel of a go-kart and had received his professional racing license earlier in the week.

“I was more scared (to get my driver’s license) because there were a lot more rules,” said Dorsey, 16, who passed the tests on his first attempt.

The Carmel High School junior has already found success on the racetrack, and it all started with a family tragedy when he was 11 years old. Those circumstances also led him to build and donate a go kart-inspired game system earlier this month to bring a smile to young patients at Riley Children’s Hospital.

THE FINISH LINE

His inspiration

Dorsey’s passion for bringing hope to hurting people is personal. He lost his mother to cancer when he was 11.

His interest in go-karts began a couple of years before her death, but losing her caused him to take his hobby more seriously.

“Me and my dad dove pretty deep into racing as something to keep our minds off of it,” Dorsey said.

“It was something me and my dad really loved to do, so it helped out a lot.”

Dorsey has found success on the track, first locally and more recently on the national stage. He’s advanced from go-karts to open-wheel racing and received the 2018 Lucas Oil (Formula 1600) Karts to Cars Scholarship. He placed third in the 2019 Lucas Formula Racing Series and is a candidate for the 2019 Team USA racing scholarship.

He’s also making a name for himself off the track through his charity work. He created Karting for Cancer — now known as The Anchor Foundation — and in his first fundraising effort collected $7,000 for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital by selling stickers and shirts. The next year, the foundation raised enough money to send a young girl to Disney World on a Make-A-Wish trip.

This year, Dorsey selected Riley as his beneficiary.

‘Escape the hospital’

Dorsey unveiled his go-kart-styled gaming system Nov. 6 in Riley’s Child Life Zone, a space designed to help children in the hospital enjoy normal, fun experiences — like video games. Designed to look like a go-kart, Dorsey engineered and built the structure himself and added a PlayStation 2 with several racing games.

“It’s to keep their mind off of (their health concerns) and have fun in the hospital,” Dorsey said.

Nine-year-old Maddox Shuler of Ft. Wayne was the first to try it out, with Dorsey sitting nearby offering tips for navigating the courses. “(My favorite part was) hitting the walls and backing up,” said Shuler, who hoped to find time to play again.

Riley Child Life Special Events Supervisor Melissa Sexton said donations like Dorsey’s are crucial in

While Jack Dorsey is a lifelong Carmel resident, his father, Jon, grew up within walking distance of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Jack said his father’s interest in racing first ignited his love for the sport.

“It got passed down to me,” Jack said. “Indiana is the best place to live if you’re a racecar driver.”

Jack trains at PitFit, a training facility in Indianapolis that specializes in motorsports fitness.

He’s met several IndyCar drivers there and made connections through his races that he hopes will help him reach his goal of becoming a professional driver.

“A lot of the IndyCar teams are down here,” Jack said. “I’ve met a lot of people who are high up that can help me along. (Living in) this area has definitely been a positive for my career.”

Jack said he’d love to compete in one of the elite open-wheel IndyCar series, but he also enjoys driving sports cars.

“My end goal would be to get into the GT class endurance races,” he said. “It’s more reasonable to get into than, say, an IndyCar ride or Formula 1.” helping patients “escape the hospital for awhile” and feel as normal as possible.

“It’s important to remember that kids are kids,” Sexton said. “Just because they happen to have a patient band doesn’t mean they don’t want to do things your child at home would want to do. To see them (get to) do that is awesome.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Enlightened path

GOP shields Trump

Commentary by Terry Anker Early 20th-century U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote, “But when men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas – that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out.”

Holmes was responsible for a doctrine used by our nation’s high court to restrict First Amendment claims to free assembly, speech or press, known widely through one line of his opinion, “clear and present danger.” Later, an important lower court jurist, Learned Hand, supported the notion, adding that restrictions on these American freedoms could only come to prevent “imminent lawless action.”

It was a different time. Socialism, especially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, i.e., the Nazis, was then known to be a verified threat to freedom.

Still, jurists were slow to restrict the exchange of ideas, even vastly unpopular ones. The minority voice had to be protected, if only so a debate could be preserved.

How often did the majority prove, in the long run, to be on the enlightened path? Is it any different now?

Hitting the Hamiltonian lottery Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, I won the lottery! Not that lottery. You think I’d still be writing this column if HUMOR I were a newly minted millionaire? Puh-lease.

Maybe I’d pen one final commentary at 36,000 feet aboard my new Gulf Stream en route to Davos, but that’d be it. So long, suckers!

No, I won two $10 tickets to “Hamilton” in Chicago! I know! I’ve seen the musical before but have been wanting to take my youngest daughter, Maddie. I thought we’d go to the touring one here in Indianapolis this month, but the tickets start at $175, and that’s for a weekday matinee with a “limited view,” i.e., “behind a giant pole.” Which makes absolutely no sense to me. It’s not the original cast, it’s not Broadway and it’s been out for almost five years. I just couldn’t stomach shelling out that much dough for a show, even one as fantastic as “Hamilton.”

Then, I discovered the lottery. I installed the “Hamilton” app, signed

up for email notifications and have literally been entering daily since 2017.

Chicago, Madison, Wis., Milwaukee, Louisville. If I could drive there in a reasonable amount of time, I threw my tricorne hat into the ring. Because that’s the thing. If you win, you’re given only four hours to accept the tickets for a next-day production.

Yowsers.

When a “Congratulations” popped up in my inbox, I nearly wet my pants.

After all this time, it was happening!

So, for 20 bucks, Maddie and I were able to see “Hamilton” in Chicago. Our seats weren’t perfect (we were under a substantial can-only-glimpse-feetif-they-sing-from-the-second-storyof-the-set overhang), but definitely worth it.

I can’t believe I won the lottery!

Peace out.

Editor, I am outraged that as Donald Trump continues to act with impunity, the GOP is continuing to shield him from the consequences of his actions. It’s time for Republican representatives — mine included — to stand up for the rule of law and support impeachment.

Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election demonstrate that he is a danger to our democracy and the security of our elections. Thanks to whistleblower complaints and the testimony of over half a dozen witnesses, we have proof that Trump withheld military aid to coerce the president of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.

No American is above the law, especially the president. If any other American committed these crimes, they would be behind bars.

That’s why I believe Congress has no choice but to impeach Trump.

Democrats are bravely standing up for the rule of law and our democracy. It’s not too late for Republican representatives to do the same.

Steve Leyndyke, Carmel

He was probably right. I was sure that through the years there had been very little conversation between the two. I would have overheard it.

To improve my posture, he suggested walking with my arms at my sides, with the palms facing forward, opened wide and turned skyward. I tried this while I was strolling downtown later that day. It felt odd, except I did score some loose change from sympathetic pedestrians.

Irwin told me to imagine there is a string running up my spine and through my head to the ceiling when I walk. My next appointment is with a neurologist. Not for my spine, but because I walked headfirst into a wall.

Back pain is a major problem in this nation. It’s the second-biggest reason people don’t go to work HUMOR in the morning. The first reason is not having a job.

I have a longstanding relationship with my back, but ironically, most of my problems come from sitting too long. I read somewhere that while stationed at the computer, I should put my butt at the outermost edge of the chair. I tried that, slid off and almost broke my jaw on the keyboard.

My health care providers have tried desperately to help me correct my sloppy posture. I have a genetic predisposition - sometimes I have pain in dis position, sometimes in dat position.

I’ve been going to a chiropractor who uses the traditional approach practiced by the Mafia for generations: He roughs me up, inflicts pain and then takes my money. Time for a

different approach.

Irwin, my new physical therapist, instructed me to stand like I normally do when I talk to someone. He said he prefers to observe his subjects in their natural setting. This sounded a lot like Jane Goodall justifying her first expense report. I don’t know about you, but my extremities pretty much fall into place on their own when I’m chatting with someone. I don’t think about where to put my right leg, how to hold my head or how to position each arm. I just start yacking away, although I do try not to put my foot in my mouth.

When I got myself into my normal stance, the therapist shook his head.

“You lean too far to the left,” he said, which is exactly what WIBC said to me in l995 when they fired me from my talk show.

On the massage table, Irwin rotated my head and neck to assess my range of motion.

A Carmel-based organization has taken steps to address the needs of a growing population DEMENTIA in Hamilton County: dementia patients.

PrimeLife Enrichment, an organization that offers education, fitness and social opportunities to aging county residents, has launched free Friday programs to assist those struggling with memory loss and dementia.

“On the medical side, memory loss and dementia patients have what they need, but what they’re not getting is the help of how to handle it at home,” said Linda Handy, executive director of PrimeLife Enrichment. “The whole idea is to come up with ways to help the caregiver and the individual see that life isn’t over just because they’ve been diagnosed.”

The first Friday of each month will feature a music-related activi-

ty, led by Dr. Tim Brimmer of Sound Minds and Butler University, who will demonstrate the importance of music in regard to mood and memory. On the second Friday, guests will take part in memory and brainteaser activities, like bingo, trivia and games, to help them retain and recall numbers and letters. On the third Friday, participants will complete art projects, and on the fourth Friday, PrimeLife Enrichment will welcome guests to speak on a variety of mood and memory topics.

Each Friday following the scheduled activities, there will be a bonus activity with the Song Shape Chorus, comprised of dementia patients and their caregivers.

Each week’s activities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with a free lunch, followed by the program at noon. All Friday activities are free and conducted at PrimeLife Enrichment at 1078 Third Ave. S.W. For more, visit primelifeenrichment.org.

Lautman addresses how to compete for workers

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Mark Lautman has built his reputation as an economic architect.

Lautman is the ONEZONE founding director of the Community Economics Lab, a nonprofit think tank that innovates new approaches to economic development.

Lautman addressed the OneZone Chamber of Commerce Nov. 13 to share his research from his book, “When the Boomers Bail: How Demographics will Sort Communities into Winners and Losers.”

“When you look at changes, it’s leadership and conditions,” Lautman said. “What is going to happen over time and where are leaders coming from?”

Lautman joked about Carmel mayor Jim Brainard, who was recently elected to his seventh term.

“Jim is 65, so he’s pretty much done,” Lautman said. “Don’t tell him I said that. But as you look around, where are the next class of leaders coming from? Before you discuss economic development, you should define it. I see economic development as how do you grow your economy faster than the population?”

The first component is jobs.

“Are the jobs increasing in productivity? Are (the workers) making more money?” Lautman said. “The next metric is money. Is income going up and are people above the poverty line? The last one is your economy is better.

Are people advancing better?”

Lautman said the public has become aware the U.S. has a labor prob-

lem, possibly long-term.

“But they haven’t really sat down and processed it,” he said. “Ten years ago, I saw a graphic that showed the U.S. would be creating jobs faster than workers were coming into the market. The whole idea we were going to run out of labor as an economy just didn’t make any sense after hearing my whole life we were an over-populated planet. It’s already happened, and it’s just going to get worse, probably for the next 20 years.

“It’s because we boomers didn’t have enough kids to replace ourselves. We are the first generation in human history to not have enough kids to replace ourselves and we didn’t educate half of the ones we did have to take our jobs when we decide to retire.”

Lautman said companies won’t come if they can’t find workers.

He said Fishers and Carmel are in good shape compared to most other communities in ability to attract companies.

Bays, Schaab identify with ‘Elf’ roles at Civic

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Matt Bays, his role could be considered a slight bit of typecasting.

PERFORMANCE Bays relates to his character Buddy in “Elf The Musical.”

“He’s a happy-go-lucky person and so am I,” Bays said Bays plays Buddy in Civic Theatre’s production of “Elf The Musical,” which runs from Dec. 6 to Dec. 28 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The story centers on a young orphan, who accidentally climbs into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf by Santa’s elves.

“I thought maybe I was too old for the part, but it worked out,” said Bays, a 49-year-old Westfield resident.

Bays said he was familiar with the 2003 movie starring Will Ferrell as Buddy but had never seen the 2010 Broadway musical, which was inspired by the movie.

“It’s one of our staples I watch every year with my two daughters,” Bays said of the movie. “Buddy is spontaneous. He’s loving and he’s a little naive, a trusting individual.”

The show is Bays’ second with Civic. He was in “Anything Goes” in 2018.

Bays did not do musical theater for 25 years because he was doing other music in church.

Noblesville resident Emily Schaab sees a bit of herself in her character of Jovie.

“I find the character true to who I am a little bit,” Schaab said. “She’s a little sarcastic and a little sassy. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Schaab said the music is fun and

heart-warming.

“Jovie has one song by herself, and I sing throughout the show with Buddy and the ensemble,” Schaab said.

The show is Schaab’s third with Civic in 2019 and her first lead Civic role. She previously was in “Newsies” and “Mamma Mia!” “We’re having a blast. That’s something that’s been the case at all three shows I’ve done at Civic,” Schaab said. “It’s always a good environment.”

Clay Middle School eighth-grader Ben Boyce, who plays Michael Hobbs, said this is his biggest role in a Civic Theatre main stage show.

“I like the role because I’m able to develop my character,” Boyce said.

“It’s a very fun role to play. I love the movie ‘Elf,’ so it was fun to bring the role to the stage.”

Boyce said he watched some musical versions to help better develop his character.

“I have to speak with a New York accent, so developing that is a little hard,” Boyce said.

Boyce appeared as Dill Harris in “To Kill a Mockingbird” earlier this year on the main stage. He was in Jr. Civic’s productions of “James and the Giant Peach” in 2018 and “Shrek The Musical” in 2019. He had to learn a Southern accent for Dill and a British accent for James.

Bishop Chatard High School senior Nate Schlabach, a Fishers resident, plays Charlie, an elf.

“I also get to be part of the ensemble and take part in a few of the crazy, fun dance numbers,” Schlabach said. “I always loved the movie.

It’s fun to do a high-pitched elf voice. It comes pretty natural to do that voice, but it’s something I never tried on stage before.”

He also was in “Newsies” and “Mamma Mia!” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Carmel resident directs Madrigal shows editorial@youarecurrent.com North Central High School sophomore Lucy Price has two main reasons for enjoying her first year as a member of the school’s King’s Court Singers.

“I love the songs we perform and the outfits we wear,” said Price, whose father, James, lives in Carmel.

“We sing a song with just the girls that I really like. I like the Christmas music the best. My favorite song we are doing now is ‘Jingle Bells.’”

The singing group, which performs in Renaissance-era costumes, is directed by longtime Carmel resident Joyce Click.

Dec. 6 and the Madrigal Luncheon is at noon Dec. 7 at the Knights of Columbus, 2100 E. 71st St., Indianapolis.

Cantus has a unique approach to creating music.

The Minneapolis-based MUSIC men’s vocal ensemble doesn’t have a music director, so the eight singers share responsibilities.

“We are the only full-time ensemble in the world, I believe, that is artist-led,” baritone David Geist said.

“Every show you see is an equal combination of all the work we put together. When we are programming shows, we bring the theme and the concept.

“Oftentimes, we’ll have a big whiteboard with 100 songs, and we narrow it down to 20 for a performance. We are very collaborative.”

Cantus will present “Three Tales of Christmas” at 8 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Blueprint for Improvement: Northern Indy functional kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The exterior wall was removed and columns added to provide structural support and architectural interest between the kitchen and the new great room.

2. The kitchen was expanded into what was the dining room, giving the homeowners more room for maneuvering and a lot more storage.

3. An impressive granite backsplash makes quite a statement over the cooktop and continues to the counters.

4. New maple cabinetry with loads of pull-out shelves and organizers, plus a larger island, provide additional storage and organization.

THE CHALLENGE This 1972-built home is in Indianapolis’ Pickwick Commons neighborhood. The popular ‘70s split-level design didn’t give the family the space they craved for spending time together and hosting friends and family. They wanted to create a larger kitchen that opened into a brand new great room which would offer plenty of room for family activities.

Engfishing isn’t smart Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt “This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.”

— Winston S. GRAMMAR GUY Churchill We have probably all written a version of this essay at some point in high school E. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots or college: You’ve read the assigned book (OK, “skimmed” is probably more accurate) and there’s a five-page esE. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots say due tomorrow. Well, technically E. Davis Coots James K. Wheeler Jay Curts James D. Crum Jeffrey S. Zipes Matthew L. Hinkle Daniel E. Coots it’s due today because it’s 2 a.m. and your paper’s due at 9 a.m. It’s time to “fill the space,” as they say in university circles. You’ve nudged the Ryan H. Cassman John V. Maurovich Alex Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A. Gibson margins to make them bigger. You’re Ryan H. Cassman John V. Maurovich Alex Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A. Gibson Attorneys for Families & Business using Courier New because it takes Attorneys for John Families &AlexBusiness up more space on the page. Now, it’s Ryan H. Cassman V. Maurovich Emerson Betsy Sommers Brandi A. Gibson time to make your words longer and Attorneys for Families & Business more intelligent-sounding so you can squeak out a B-minus on this bad boy.

You consult your thesaurus for every third word.

that ends up resembling everyone else’s papers, or -- even worse -- an imitation of our professor’s speech patterns. The result is a flowery, academic-sounding, five-page whopper of a nothingburger. You swap out the word “use” for “utilize” or “employ.”

You go to great lengths in order to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition, forcing your words to twist and turn into stuffy syntax riddles. You’re verbose to the point of long-windedness.

There’s a term for this: Engfish. It’s when we use contrived language for the sake of sounding smart. We use Engfish in our writing and in conversations. By puffing up our discourse, we end up obscuring our intended message.

Brief history of Australia’s famous Bondi Beach Commentary by Don Knebel Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, is one of the world’s most popular beaches. It is particularly popular with visitors from the TRAVEL Northern Hemisphere, who can celebrate Christmas at the beach.

Bondi Beach is 4 miles east of the CBD, Sydney’s Central Business District. The word “Bondi” (pronounced bondie) is derived from an Aboriginal word having the same meaning as “surf” in English. In the mid-19th century, the property that included the beach was part of the private “Bondi Estate.” For a time, the owners allowed the public to access the beach, which was famous for the size of its waves. When the owners threatened to block access to the beach, the Municipal Council made it public in 1882. By the 20th century, up to 60,000 people a day were coming to the beach. On Feb. 6, 1938, known as “Black Sunday,” five beachgoers were killed and more than 250 injured when a series of large waves pulled people into the water.

Bondi Beach has been the site of efforts to control decency in swimwear for both men and women. In 1935, the local government passed an ordinance regulating the amount of skin that could be shown, leading to

Bondi Beach in December. (Photo by Don Knebel)

American actress Jean Parker being escorted off Bondi Beach in 1951 because her bikini was too revealing. The ordinance was repealed in 1961 and topless bathing became popular. On Sept. 26, 2007, 1,010 women wearing tiny bikinis assembled on Bondi Beach.

The resulting photograph, published in Cosmopolitan in 2008, established the Guinness record for the largest swimsuit photoshoot.

Today, Bondi Beach attracts about 2.5 million visitors a year, many of whom take advantage of the fashionable cafes along the Campbell Parade that adjoins the beach. Visitors to Bondi Beach can also watch rugby matches played on the beach by the Sydney Roosters.
