Beazer amends neighborhood plan

Carmel library honored – The Carmel Clay Public Library has been named a 2017 Star Library by the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service. The index compares U.S. public libraries with peers in similar budget categories based on five types of output measures of their per capita use. The Carmel library is a four-star library in the $5 to $9.9 million budget range. It is one of four libraries in Indiana to receive a Star Library rating this year.

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After discussions with the Carmel City Council, Beazer Homes has agreed to make changes to the proposed developdevelopment ment The Reserve at Cool Creek, which is northeast of 136th Street and Keystone Parkway. The development will still target people 55 years and older, but a plan to include “villa” style homes, which featured two dwellings per building, has been eliminated.

Beazer originally proposed 157 homes, including 104 villas and 52 detached ranch-style homes for the 59-acre parcel. Some residents in adjacent neighborhoods complained that this would be too dense and would not fit with the feel of the area.

Now, Beazer will build between 142 and 144 homes, and all will be single-family detached homes. All lots will have a minimum 50-foot width, and the home square footage will range from 1,500 to 2,500. The base price range will be between $290,000 and $325,000, which is higher than the original proposal. Originally, the lowest base price was $260,000. The sizes essentially will be the same for each home, but they will be detached instead of attached. A basement would be an option on all homes.

“It’s a great use of this site and provides neighbors with a high-quality neighborhood,” City Council President Sue Finkam said. “Neighborhood groups were adamant that villas be

removed. I’m very appreciative of Beazer for listening and providing an acceptable alternative. I anticipate this plan, or one very similar to it, will make it out of the Land Use Committee on Dec. 13 and will be voted on and approved by the council at the Dec. 18 meeting.”

In addition, Beazer has made a commitment to preserve the historic home at 2724 E. 136th St. that once was thought would be demolished for this project. In a recent council meeting, Beazer told the public it would put it in writing that the 1834 home would be saved.

Express Transit fares to decrease – Effective Jan. 1, the fare to ride Hamilton County Express Public Transit will change. The fare will be lowered from $5 to $3 per one-way trip. A 10-ride pass for $30 will be available.

Council considers $10.5M for KAR garage

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel-based KAR Auction Services announced in September that a new $80 million headquarters would be city news built to add 400 additional employees. Now, the Carmel City Council is considering $10.5 million in bonds to pay for a parking garage for the company. The city said KAR will assume the risk for the bonds.

The five-story, 250,000-square-foot headquarters will be at the northeast corner of Illinois and West 111th streets. It is about 2

miles south of the current headquarters at 13085 Hamilton Crossing Blvd., which houses 900 employees.

The debt will be paid through tax increment financing, which collects increases in property tax revenue in an area. Carmel expects $1 million in taxes annually from the TIF zone, and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission will keep $100,000 of those taxes for paying other debt.

KAR would buy Carmel’s bonds and assume the risk, which means if there isn’t enough tax revenue to repay the debt, Carmel taxpayers would not be on the hook. The interest

rate would be between 4.5 and 5.5 percent.

“We’re not going to have to be responsible for the loan,” city councilor Bruce Kimball said. “We’re giving them TIF. It’s great to see KAR grow while other communities are offering all sorts of tax incentives to try to attract these businesses. KAR has chosen to grow in Carmel because they like it here and they like our quality of life.”

KAR is a global provider of services and technology solutions for the wholesale usedvehicle industry with annual revenue of more than $3 billion. The company employs 17,400 people worldwide.

City council approves funds for repaving, Keystone roundabout Compiled by Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met Dec. 4 to discuss street repaving, the 96th Street and Keystone Parkway roundabout and more.

What happened: The City Council approved $423,690 for street repaving.

What it means: City councilor Bruce Kimball said the money was available near the end of 2017 because some planned leases for the Carmel Street Dept. were not needed, which freed money for repaving.

What’s next: Most of the repaving will be done in the Central District.

THE LAST CUSTOM CARMEL NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE MONON TRAIL Just South of 99th on Westfield blvd

What happened: The Carmel City Council approved $2 million from Hamilton County for the 96th Street and Keystone Parkway roundabout.

What it means: In 2018, Carmel will begin transforming the intersection into a roundabout interchange similar to other roundabouts along Keystone, such as at 116th Street, Carmel Drive, 126th Street and Main Street. There will be a bridge so north-south traffic will not need to stop.

What’s next: The council voted unanimously to suspend the rules and immediately accept the money.

What happened: A proposal to add a new full-time, paid position for a bicycle administrator is still being considered.

What it means: The position could pay up to $69,000 a year and would be responsible for bicycle safety programs, events, marketing efforts and more.

What’s next: The council will discuss the matter at its next meeting of the Finance, Utility and Rules Committee.

Bus driver retires after 49 years

By Dawn Pearson news@currentincarmel.com Carmel didn’t have any roundabouts when Gene Baker began driving a bus for Carmel Clay Schools achievement 49 years ago. At his surprise retirement party Nov. 17, he remembered those times as “the good days.”

“One of the reasons I gave it up is because there is so much more traffic and traffic is so bad in the roundabouts. The roundabouts are not bus-friendly, and the new structures in the center of the roundabouts make it very hard to see in front of you,” Baker said. “Personal drivers don’t follow the speed limits and think (the roundabouts) are their personal Indy 500 track.”

Baker began driving buses in August 1969. His wife, Renaye, drove a bus for CCS from 1979 to 2006. Between the two of them, they drove Carmel students to and from school a combined 75 years.

The Bakers met when he was managing the old Carmel Theatre and Renaye became a concessioner in 1965. They fell in love and married in 1968. When the theatre closed, Gene suggested she start driving a bus,

too. She didn’t know if she could but eventually gave it a try.

Gene drove thousands of kids during his career.

“Some of the kids I started off driving back in 1969 are grandparents now, and I’m driving some of their grandchildren,” Baker said.

He is waiting to get through the holidays and into the new year to figure out what he wants to do next.

“The first day not driving was just another day for me, but I have enjoyed the kids all these years,” he said. “They have all without exception brought me joy and happiness.”

MONON TRAIL

Jenny’s mom, a teacher at Cardinal Ritter High School, mentioned she had a student, Nicolle Loza, who was great at drawing and thought perhaps she could help.

“I saw some of her other work and was impressed. Nicolle and I got in touch and she came up with a few sketches,” Bryant said. “As soon as she sent them, I was hooked and so excited. I think her drawings really make this book. They are so fun and colorful, great for kids.”

The book — Bryant’s first — is available in a paperback on Amazon for $10.99.

Jenny has another children’s picture book planned but said it’s in the “very early stages” and wants to have it published within the next year.

Up All Night

N O N O M

Most people with young children can empathize with the nightly battle to get a child to sleep. books Carmel resident Jenny Bryant decided to turn the ensuing hilarity into a children’s book, “Up All Night: A Bedtime Story.” The book is about a little boy who doesn’t want to go to bed, so he stays up all night. Most of the story centers on the child’s misadventures the next day because he is so tired.

“We have two boys and have found that life with kids is always an adventure, including so many elements and events with the potential for making an interesting book,” Bryant said. “Additionally, we love reading to the boys, so a book we could share with them seemed particularly fun for us.”

The idea for the book, self-published by Jenny and her husband, Eric, came last summer during a family meal, after a comment from Jenny’s oldest son, who was 2 1/2 at the time.

“He said something to the effect of, ‘I’m not going to bed, I’m just going to stay up all night.’ This led to a silly discussion of what crazy things he may do if he didn’t get enough sleep,” Bryant said. “After that, I decided to take some pictures of my son posing as if he were falling asleep in strange places or doing silly things like trying to put on his baby brother’s shirt and made a Shutterfly picture and story book for him.”

The couple’s family enjoyed the book so much they encouraged them to turn it into something they could share with others.

Homeschool team finds success

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Doug Thornton is convinced there are many lessons to be learned through sports.

“Team work, how to basketball persevere, how to work on a skill and that all translates,” Thornton said. “When you are homeschooled, there is nowhere to go when you get to high school.”

Thornton has eight children, four girls and four boys, ranging in age from 33 to 14. His youngest two are playing homeschooled basketball like the others.

The Carmel resident is the coach of the Northwest Warriors’ 14U team, which includes his son Dilan, 14. His son Drew, 17, is a junior on the varsity team.

As of Dec. 2, the varsity team was 12-1, and it won the Tip Off tournament in Arkansas. Last year, the team finished 30-8 and was 10th in the national rankings before the 2016-17 postseason.

The Warriors’ junior varsity team finished 25-1 last season, reaching the national championship game before losing.

The Northwest Warriors play their home games at Traders Point Christian Academy in Whitestown.

“Since 1997, I’ve been coaching homeschool basketball,” Thornton said. “I started with this league about 2000.”

Nathan Benjamin, Carmel, has been playing with the Warriors for three years.

“You get team spirit,” said Benjamin, who played baseball, soccer and flag football with the Carmel Dads’ Club. “I’ve met a lot of friends since I’ve been playing (with the Warriors).”

Does Jane fit?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Recently, in a meeting waiting for the inevitable straggler to arrive so that we could begin, small talk around the table turned to politics. This wasn’t of the Donald Trump or Barack Obama variety. It was bit more banal. And, in some ways, a bit more insidious. The tone of a few turned to vetting the ideology of a few who were not in the room. “I think that Jane doesn’t share our views,” one person said. The problem with Jane, it seemed, was that her lifestyle choices suggested a lack of progressiveness on her part. Asked if Jane had said or done something to offend the excoriating colleague, he asserted that she had not but that he sensed that she might be wrong-minded.

Another contributor to the organization jumped into the back-talking about Jane to posit that anyone who doesn’t fit the “culture” of the group should be encouraged to get the “right” mind frame or be gone. Does Jane fit? What if her perceived views – or worse, personal choices – are not in step with the controlling sect of the assemblage? If diversity is valued, do we solely regard a diversity of certain types but not others?

Another, defended Jane’s right to think, to herself, anyway, in a direction that might not be consistent with what the cool kids might like. Just as the battle lines were drawn, the late-comer found a seat and the matter was dropped. Group culture and cohesion do matter. Any coach will claim that the players on the most effective teams share common beliefs, work ethic and demeanors. But, if diversity, especially that of dogma, is most important, can we hope to find any real harmony?

READERS ’ V I EWS Should broken windows be replaced?

Editor, I can’t help but think of Frederic Bastiat’s broken window fallacy when thinking about the apparent success of the Christmas market and the unresolved situation with the school system leaders on suspension. This theory posits that what is easy to measure is the seen (fixing a broken window provides a job to the window repairman), but what is hard to measure is the economic productivity that is lost because the window owner

spent the money on a window rather than other productive items.

What would shoppers and taxpayers have spent money on if the Christmas market didn’t exist? On the other hand, with the superintendent and HR director, we see that student and teacher performance have probably not been impacted by their extended absences. Do those broken windows need to be replaced at all?

No truth to these rumors Editor, As the official non-mayor of Camel, I am compelled by my non-oath of nonoffice to dispel pernicious rumors spread round about the city. There is no truth to the rumors that: • The Ministry of Silly Sculptures proposed that the Carmel Drive-Range Line roundabout art be a debt clock.

• The Official Breakfast Cereal of Carmelaks is Cheerios.

• The city fathers have petitioned the U.S. Dept. of Transportation to rename I-465 “The Great Indianapolis Roundabout.”

• The new owners of two nearby casino and racetrack operations will refer to them as Casino and Horse Race Roundabout Facilities.

• The mayor prefers to be called “Mayor 007. Bonds. James (Bonds) Brainard.”

• Several miles of Carmel sidewalks are among the 30 most impressive ancient ruins in the world.

• The lobby of the proposed ritzy new hotel is the future site of the Farmers’ Market.

I’m ever-alert to exploding other myths.

Stay tuned.

Bill Shaffer, Carmel

The moment has arrived, friends. Today, I engage in a biannual battle with my husband, Doo, as part of the ongohumor ing “Tinsel War.” Launched in 1996, the conflict essentially pits my Christmas traditions against Doo’s, with me insisting that a tree is essentially naked without the glittery beauty of shredded faux-aluminum. Doo disagrees. Vehemently. To keep this marriage alive, we decided long ago to alternate our tinsel years so that each of us can relive the holiday magic of our childhoods precisely as we remember, at least every other December.

The problem is that going without tinsel is easier on me than incorporating tinsel is on Doo. He can’t stand the application (which I insist is done in a precise, systematic manner to ensure proper coverage and consistency), the mess (which admittedly dominates the main floor for as long as the tree stands) or the idea of finding tinsel in our vacuum, couch and the occasional shoe until July. Although I may enjoy a stunning tinsel-frosted Fraser this year, I’ll also have to deal with Mr. Grinch and his incessant complaining. Even worse, Doo has somehow indoctrinated our two sons into agreeing with him! I still have the girls on my side, but all this bah-humbugging makes me want to literally shove tinsel up their Ebenezers.

Doo’s forces have taken hits with Boy No. 1 away at college and Boy No. 2 hunkered down with a cold. But should he muster some sort of resistance, I’ve devised a clever, snowflaking maneuver that will result in heavy male losses.

Let the 11th battle of the “Tinsel War” commence! Peace out.

Credit rating downgrade, roundabouts reasons for concern Editor, Thank you for including the S&P rating report in the Nov. 21 edition of Current. The findings may be a surprise to a few, but not to many. I think most engaged people who live in Carmel knew that it couldn’t last forever. The debt-to-income ratio, as the article states, has been more and more off balance with each passing year, especially since Mayor Brainard “won” his second and third terms up to the current administration. I doubt it will happen, but the city council had better get a hold of things and stop the madness.

My second point, which is attached to the first, regards the roundabouts, especially the one at 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway. Recently, I was headed east, taking my grandson to school. An accident happened just before I got there. Two police officers were there, and a third pulled

up and blocked the lane in which I was traveling. A few minutes passed and one of the previous police cars pulled out and went just in front of the accident cars. I proceeded to take my grandson to school.

I can only assume it was because of the south-bound, far-right turn lane, in which you can also go straight, thus, an unsuspecting driver was not ready or realized that the lane could go straight. The following day I was almost that driver. I had checked “the circle” to see if any drivers were going to turn and head south on Hazel Dell, as a couple did. As I was still looking for traffic, a driver who appeared to be going above the speed limit of 40 mph came blowing through the roundabout and almost hit me.

Is it time to do something about that particular lane before someone gets killed?

Give the gift of ... plastic grills?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie During the past several years, I have saved my Hammacher Schlemmer catalogs and poked fun at their prodhumor ucts. Here are a few of my favorites.

World’s Largest Gummy Bear: This gummy bear is 1,000 times larger than your average fruit bear (say that in Yogi Bear’s voice and it’s a lot funnier). HS advises that it tastes best when kept in the fridge and then sliced into cutlets, which is a term that should really be left for veal. The giant gummy bear is cherry-flavored and serves 12 kids. Or 106 adults.

Fish-Catching RC Boat: The perfect gift for the absolute laziest person in your life.

It’s a pint-sized boat that fishes for you.

Yes, it trolls the lake, sets the hook when the fish strikes and then brings the fish back to shore. It’s $69.95, and for an extra six bucks you can get a sign to put on your front door: Home fishing.

that Bluetooth gizmo in your ear. Now, the whole neighborhood thinks you are having a conversation with an inanimate object.

Here’s my prediction for what people will say about you when they see you using this contraption: “Mostly funny, with only a slight chance of sanity.”

The Reading Time Clock: This is the dumbest gadget ever. Instead of numbers on a round clock, it has real words that come up on a screen. So, it might say: it’s eight thirty. A minute later we see: it’s eight thirty-one. Who would want this as a gift? Maybe it’s for people who are literate but just never learned numbers?

The Children’s Weber Grill: For kids who already have iPhones and computers and high-tech video games. What fun, to have a fake plastic grill so you can pretend you are cooking a plastic hot dog on pretend coals. Learn to be just like Dad, who in 17 years behind the barbecue still can’t figure out medium rare.

Encore Sotheby’s moves in

Less than a year after groundbreaking, Encore Sotheby’s International Realty has settled into its new real estate luxury headquarters in the Carmel corridor.

Formerly housed on the north side of Indianapolis, Encore moved into its $5 million, three-story building at 12411 N Pennsylvania St. two weeks before Thanksgiving.

Encore occupies the entire third floor of the 20,000-square-foot structure and plans to lease the remaining space by the first quarter of next year.

“The building’s terrific. It’s everything we hoped it would be,” said Mark Zuckerman, Encore’s founding principal. “From an architectural perspective, it’s instantly recognizable. We’ve gotten a lot of great comments from the community about the way that the building looks and about its uniqueness from an architectural perspective.”

Combining brand recognition, functionality and easy access for clients and realty agents were the primary drivers behind Encore Sotheby’s decision to relocate from 9510 N. Meridian St. in Indianapolis into a new facility. The firm announced its plan for the new building, Encore On Point, on

Dec. 15, 2016.

Amenities include more meeting space, more open space and a 1,600-square foot roof garden.

“What we really wanted was an instantly recognizable headquarters building for Encore Sotheby’s in a location that would make sense for where we do business,” Zuckerman said. “We like the location.”

Zuckerman said the new office is easy to access for clients, agents and employees from across Hamilton County.

Zuckerman expects to announce the tenants in the near future. For the moment, Encore Sotheby’s lone neighbor is Jetlinx, a private aviation company that occupies a suite on the third floor.

On a recent trip, our pilot was excited to announce that he got us to our destination 20 minutes earcustomer service ly. I was happy to hear that and it seemed my fellow passengers were, too!

As we sat on the tarmac, our pilot announced that we were so early there was no open gate. We waited awhile longer and then finally parked at a gate where we waited for someone to extend the walkway for us to deplane. In the end, we were actually on the plane longer than we would have been had we landed on time.

This incident made me think about airlines metrics. If airline leadership looked at the arrival time, they would see a positive metric. But, if you talked to any passengers, the feedback would not be as positive. Most businesses collect a lot of data.

But if they don’t collect the right data or truly understand the data, they may not be getting an accurate picture.

Businesses collect an endless amount of data. They might collect data on call center

volume, peak times they receive calls and call abandonment rates. They might collect data on customer time spent on their website and where they clicked. These are examples of quantitative data that provide one layer of information. Our flight duration and arrival time are examples of quantitative data.

What quantitative data does not tell you is the customers’ motivation behind the activity, feelings or thoughts about an interaction. Why did they call you? What caused their satisfaction or dissatisfaction? Why did they click through your website but not make a purchase? This is qualitative data, and it gets at underlying reasons, motivations and opinions of your customers. Altough it may be more difficult to obtain and analyze, this is critical data for businesses.

Clay Terrace boutique opens after online sales soar

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com What started as a few racks of clothing at an airbrush tanning salon in Scottsdale, Ariz., has turned into closet candy a multi-million dollar boutique anchored in central Indiana in only a few short but difficult years.

Christina Smith, who moved to Zionsville in 2015 to be near family, opened Closet Candy Boutique in Carmel’s Clay Terrace. It’s the company’s first brick-and-mortar store, but it had already gained quite a following across the nation before its August opening, garnering more than 1 million Facebook fans before it even opened its doors.

Despite its fast start, the road to success wasn’t easy. Smith’s husband and shop co-owner, Chad, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the midst of launching the boutique. The couple struggled to balance caring for their two children, opening a new store and Chad’s medical treatment.

Smith said the couple plowed through the tough times by the grace of God and with a lot of coffee. Chad is now in remission.

“The biggest thing we took away from that experience is that with each other and our faith, we know now we can get through anything,” Smith said.

Unexpected journey Smith didn’t start out intending to build a national clothing boutique. But when tanning salon clients requested she ship the few clothing items available for sale across the nation, she knew she was on to something.

Closet Candy Boutique launched online in 2012, and six weeks later, through the power of social media, it was making more than $100,000 in monthly sales. By the end of its first year online, Closet Candy Boutique had brought in more than $1 million in sales.

Betsy Simpson, 36, has followed the company on Instagram for more than two years. She moved from Scottsdale, where Closet Candy Boutique started, to Carmel in August and was shocked to see the Instagram announcement that it was opening in her new hometown.

“As much as I love the convenience of ordering online, it’s always great to go into the store and try the items on,” Simpson said.

Team effort The early success of Closet Candy Boutique has been a team effort. Smith has a keen eye for fashion, Chad has a background in marketing and design, and they share a faith that has helped them persevere through the challenges.

The next Closet Candy shop is expected to open in Dallas in 2018. Smith said she is also considering a location in the Fashion Mall at Keystone.

The Bishops to headline

‘New Year’s Extravaganza’ at The Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com This will be a little different than the first New Year Eve’s appearance Bryan Bishop’s band had at The Palladium.

“We’re going to ring in the New Year instead of being done at 10 o’clock,” said Bishop, who lives near The Palladium in Carmel.

At The Palladium’s first New Year’s Eve party in 2015, The Bishops played in Robert Adam Room from 8 to 10 p.m. Then the Hot Sardines took the main stage when the other bands were done.

Last year, the format changed, and all the bands kept playing and a dance floor was added to The Palladium’s main stage.

That’s where The Bishops will perform for the “New Year’s Extravaganza.”

“It’s a prestigious stage. We are very honored,” Bishop said.

“It’s going to be the same party but on a much bigger scale than two years ago. We are going to reach back and do more ‘60s and ‘70s, and of course we are going to be playing ‘80s. The only thing different is we’ll have a little more production. We’re going to shoot a promotion video that night.”

Bishop describes The Bishops as a big variety band.

“Our slogan is we don’t put on a concert, we throw a party,” Bishop said. “The fact that people come up on stage with us, we’re all about engaging with the audience. We’re all about the dance. Our music is the ladies’ hips.”

The Bishops are celebrating 15 years this month. Bishop, who grew up in Noblesville, is the founder and only original member. Two members, Georgette Fraction, Indianapolis, and John Marque, Cincinnati, have been with the group eight years, and two Indianapolis residents, Roderick Johnson and Matt Ley, have been members for six years.

“We had a blast being there two years ago in the Robert Adam Room,” Bishop said. “We are there to have fun.”

Carmel resident plays in ‘Joseph’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Jen Martin has one main challenge in her two roles in Civic Theatre’s “Joseph and the Amazing theater Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

Martin plays one of Jacob’s wives and also assumes a male role of one of the Ishmaelites.

“I have to be a man and I have to be hairy, so it’s not normal,” Martin said.

Martin is joined in the production by Carmel resident Matthew Altman, who also appeared in Civic’s productions of ‘Joseph’ in 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. Both times, like this year, the productions were held during the holiday season. The show is set to run from Dec. 15 to Jan. 7 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I like the athleticism of it and the symmetry,” said Altman, a 2007 Westfield High School graduate. “The energy is full-throttle all the time. It’s great. I love the music. It’s an Andrew Lloyd Webber score. We’re a family here and we get to do it on Christmas and New Year’s, too. It’s going to be fun.”

and the butler.

Martin said it’s fun to go to rehearsals with a small group of people.

“They are dedicated to making it clean and specific about the choreography and blocking,” Martin said. “It’s such a fun story.

It’s a story I grew up hearing in Sunday school and church. We have a country and western number. It’s not often you get to do those every show. And there is a 7 1/2-minute number at the end of the show.”

That’s where the athleticism really kicks in, Altman said.

“We get to sing and dance after doing the whole show,” Altman said.

Choir provides opportunity

By Chris Bavender editorial@youarecurrent.com For 32 years, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir has offered central Indiana children a chance concert to explore their love of music. Serving more than 5,500 kids from ages 18 months to 18 years, the organization strives to foster personal and social Kouns growth in its singers, like 8-year-old Lydia Kouns.

The third-grader has been involved with ICC for three years. She’ll appear in the ICC holiday concert, “Celebrate the Season,” at 12:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at St. Luke United Methodist, 100 W. 86th St., Indianapolis.

“I enjoy being in the choir because I think performing is exciting and fun,” Lydia said.

“My mom (Katherine) said I’m better now at talking in front of a bunch of people because it makes me braver.”

Katherine Kouns, director of choirs at Carmel High School, said involvement in groups such as ICC helps students develop confidence and poise.

ICC Artistic Director Joshua Pedde, a

Carmel resident, said music brings people together.

“My wife was in Children’s Choir and went to HSE (Hamilton Southeastern High School) and her best friend went to Carmel, and they would never have met if not for ICC, and so it introduces them to people they might not meet because they don’t go to the same school or might have a bit of a different background,” he said. “And Pedde that’s what it’s all about, serving our communities by bringing together kids who really love to sing.”

The ICC has a renewed focus on its mission to inspire student achievement and artistic excellence through music, year-round. ”We are always looking for new repertoires and new music to sing but maybe do things a little out of the ordinary,” Pedde said.

That’s the plan for the Holiday Concert through its “White Christmas” theme. The ICC is adding twists to classics such as Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” “O’ Holy Night” and “What Child is This.”

Avoid passive-aggressive voice Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

When it comes to writing, you should always use active voice. You should utilize active voice as grammar guy often as possible so those reading your prose will understand perfectly and clearly what you’re trying to say. In active voice writing, the subject of the sentence does the action: The unicorn (subject) started (verb) a game of hide-and-seek over 4,000 years ago; he’s still hiding. My coworker (subject) threw (verb) a fit after I submerged his stapler in Jell-O. When it comes to writing, you should always avoid passive voice. Passive voice creeps in unexpectedly if you aren’t careful. This happens when your subject no longer does the action in the sentence.

Instead, your subject is being acted on by the verb. In these sentences, the subject usually comes after the verb: A game of hide-and-seek was started by the unicorn over 4,000 years ago; he’s still hiding. A fit was thrown by my coworker after I submerged his stapler in Jell-O. Some telltale signs of sentences using passive voice include words and phrases

including was, were, has been, have been, are and is, to name a few. Sometimes you just can’t avoid passive voice, but when you can, do it; your writing will jump off the page.

Finally, when it comes to life, you should always avoid passive-aggressive voice. I think this is more important than avoiding passive voice. I’ll provide some examples: The unicorn’s friends, instead of telling him his breath smelled like rotten mermaid eggs, opted to run away from him during a game of hide-and seek.

Because I disagreed with my co-worker’s promotion, I decided to secretly submerge his stapler in Jell-O. While active voice leaves your reader with a sense of purpose and action, passive voice seems anemic and unsure of itself. Passive-aggressive voice, on the other hand, will simply cause your friends, roommates and coworkers to stop inviting you to parties where there is free cake.

Les Invalides in Paris. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Les Invalides and its tombs Commentary by Don Knebel The Parisian landmark known as “Les Invalides” is best known for the tomb of one of France’s most famous generals. Its beginnings were much more travel humble.

In 1670, King Louis XIV ordered construction of a hospital and retirement home for French soldiers along the left bank of the Seine. The facility, originally known as “Hôtel National des Invalides” (“National Residence of the Invalids”), was built around a large courtyard suitable for military parades. When completed in 1676, more than 6,000 ailing French soldiers and veterans called it home. In 1679, a chapel was constructed on the north end of the facility. Residents were required to attend daily. King Louis soon decided that the chapel was not sufficiently elegant for him to worship with his soldiers, so he ordered construction of a new church inside the north end. The church, completed in 1708, included a dome rising 350 feet above the street, modeled on the one on St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

The gilded dome, visible around Paris, is the finest dome in the city. The church became known as “Église du Dôme (“Church of the Dome”).

When Napoleon Bonaparte died in 1821, he was buried in St. Helena, where he had been in exile for six years. In 1840, King Louis-Philippe returned Napoleon’s body to Paris and began excavating an area beneath the dome of the Church of the Dome for Napoleon’s tomb. In 1861, Napoleon’s body was placed in an enormous crypt constructed of red quartzite resting atop a green granite base. Les Invalides also houses the tombs of other French soldiers, including Marshall Ferdinand Foch, the supreme commander of Allied forces in World War I. Les Invalides, which now includes museums of French military history, is open to the public. Visitors can view Napoleon’s tomb from above.

Dispatches Christmas tree shortage – If you haven’t already purchased your live Christmas tree, you may want to do so soon. The National Christmas Tree Association is warning of a tree shortage this year which can be traced to the Great Recession 10 years ago. At that time, farmers cut back on plantings to save money. Those tree crops are now matured and in short supply. Prices will be higher, and selections will be limited this season and possibly for the next several seasons.

Wrapping gifts for kids – Kids don’t care about elaborately wrapped gifts. They tear into packages too fast to even notice. To save time and labels at Christmas, wrap each child’s gifts in a specific, themed paper, and repeat each year. For example, one child always gets snowman paper and another always gets Santa paper. This way, everyone can tell at a glance who gets each gift.
