“Before the City of Carmel can allow MetroNet and its contractors back to work in Carmel, we need assurances that any work done in our city will be accomplished in a more prudent and careful manner,” Heck stated in an email.

“Neighboring communities in Hamilton County are discussing municipal legislation that will create ordinances giving our cities the ability to fine MetroNet or others requesting to work in our right-of-way areas when they violate certain criteria set forth in the new local legislation.”

Heck said the city would like the new legislation to require: • Assurances that safety plans are in place.

• Contractors be legally registered to work in Indiana.

• Yard and landscaping restoration to be completed in a timely fashion.

• Contractors entering the right-of-way or private property to treat people and private property with respect.

The IURC report stated that all six subcontractors involved in the incidents were from out of state and that five were not registered with the Indiana Secretary of State’s office. The unregistered companies could face fines of up to $10,000.

Dispatches

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has found MetroNet responsible for 10 of the 20 incidents it investigated involving damage to natural gas lines in Carmel and city news Fishers in recent weeks. The damage occurred as MetroNet’s subcontractors worked to install underground fiber optic lines.

Six of the incidents were found to be caused by utility companies not marking the gas lines properly as required by law. Another four incidents produced enough evidence to show a law was violated.

On Aug. 30, the City of Carmel ordered MetroNet to halt work until the IURC investigation, initially requested by the City of Fishers, was complete. Fishers also halted MetroNet digging in late August, and the City of Westfield did the same after damage to a gas line Sept. 8 resulted in gas leaking into the sewer system. As a result, nearby homes were evacuated and electricity in the area was turned off until the gas line was repaired.

MetroNet President John Cinelli said the company is taking the IURC’s findings seriously and that its goal is “always to protect public safety.”

“We are voluntarily pausing all underground construction in central Indiana while we conduct further contractor training,” Cinelli stated. “We are committed to providing a world-class fiber optic infrastructure in Indiana and building it in a responsible manner.”

It’s unclear when work will begin again, but Carmel spokeswoman Nancy Heck said affected Hamilton County communities “intend to have a united approach to this issue and need to work together toward that goal.”

All three members of The Dane Group have been convicted of security fraud. The Dane Group is a capital investment firm in Fishers.

Bruce McIntyre, Shelly Guzman and Fennis Bledsoe formed the company in 2012 to provide capital to expanding businesses. From 2013-2014, they sold unregistered short-term promissory notes to at least four Hoosiers totaling more than $375,000. According to bank records, the funds were used for personal expenses.

Bledsoe was the last of the three to be

sentenced, and he was given three years in the Indiana Dept. of Corrections on Sept. 7.

McIntyre and Guzman were charged with 15 felony counts including securities fraud, acting as unlicensed agents, the sale of unregistered securities and corrupt business influence earlier this year. Bledsoe was charged with five felony counts, including aiding the unlawful sale of securities, aiding in securities fraud and corrupt business influence.

McIntyre previously had pled guilty embezzlement, forgery and federal securities charges. He is married to Guzman, although Guzman was romantically involved with Bled-

soe during the time when crimes were committed, according to a press release from the office of the Indiana Secretary of State.

McIntyre was sentenced to six years in the Indiana Dept. of Corrections after he pled guilty to securities fraud and corrupt business influence. He was ordered to pay $382,593.53 in restitution to four Indiana residents. Guzman was sentenced to four years in the Indiana Dept. of Corrections after she pled guilty to securities fraud and corrupt business influence. She was ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution to one Indiana resident.

Church prays about road safety

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com The Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Fishers embarked on a religion new initiative this summer called Prayer Peace Passing Project. It began in May as a direct response to the construction around the church on Olio Road.

“We got to thinking about how many people are in their cars every day, their safety, road rage and the safety of the construction workers,” Rev. Angela Gafford Asmus said. “We were trying to think about what we could do to add some positivity to the community.”

The 40- 50-person congregation responded to the church’s request by signing up to pray every day.

“We told them to find a time that worked best for them. It was to be a prayer wherever you happened to be. They didn't need to be at the church to do it,” Gafford Asmus said.

The congregation will continue the initiative but with a minor change now that construction is almost complete.

“Our thought is to continue it and be mindful now that school is back in session," Gafford Asmus said. "We’re right down the street from (Hamilton Southeastern High School). You have a ton of young people driving. We're wanting to be mindful of those new drivers and younger drivers, to be praying for all ages not to text and drive."

Fishers teacher visits Europe

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Heather Butz, a sixth-grade humanities teacher at Sand Creek Intermediate School, spent part of her summer in Europe thanks to a Lilly Teacher Creativity Grant. The grant's purpose is to proeducation vide teacher renewal and boost creativity.

“It's a $12,000 grant. People do all different kinds of things with it," Butz said. "I teach Medieval Europe, and I love teaching kids about castles. So my proposal was to go to Germany, France and England to tour castles and take first-person video."

She was in Europe from July 5 through July 24.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Being a teacher on a teacher's salary taking long trips to Europe was not something in my foreseeable future, so I really wanted to make the trip count,” she said.

In London, she visited Kensington Palace,

Warwick Castle, Lee's Castle and medieval museums. She then went to France and visited Chateau Versailles and the beaches of Normandy.

The next leg of her trip was spent in Germany visiting Neuschwanstein Castle and Dachau Concentration Camp.

“As you go through the tour of the concentration camp, they literally take you through the steps of the people who would have gone there. The absolute horror of what they went through … I think that was even more life-changing than I ever anticipated,” she said.

Butz utilized technology to bring back images of the castles for her students.

“I did 360-degree pictures so that I can use virtual reality goggles with the kids so they can feel like they're there. I've only been able to teach them in the past from books that I've read or videos that I've watched,” she said.

Exchanging

cultureS Mt. Vernon expands international education programming

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Although it’s a relatively small school district in a predominantatly rural part of Indiana, Mt. Vernon cover story Community Schools has spent the past two years enhancing international education opportunities for its students and students abroad.

Currently, eight students from Spain are in the middle of a three-week visit to the district. This spring, the Mt. Vernon also will welcome 22 students from Germany for a short stay, and soon, two teachers from Anshan, China, will visit in preparation for Mt. Vernon’s hosting of more than a dozen students from the same city.

“These are short-term exchanges,” Mt. Vernon Supt. Shane Robbins said. “The biggest reason for any exchange is for other cultures to experience our cultures, and likewise when we do the same. We’ll expose them to not only just what we do academically and with education in the United States, but we’ll also do our very best to give them just a taste of the American culture in general, but Midwestern culture specifically.”

Earlier this year, Mt. Vernon hosted eight South Korean education delegates visiting the United States on a U.S. State Dept. trip to discuss the use of STEM education and modern technology in the district.

“Our goal, especially with us being in a 1:1 computing environment, is to expose our students to the bigger world so that they can learn from us, and we can learn from them,” Robbins said. “We’re trying to broaden their minds, but it’s the world our kids are going to live in to some degree. It’s been very rewarding to do that, so we host any time we can. When we host, we get them in classrooms, and there are some

things that are very special about America that they don’t experience and are excited to see. There is something to be said about some freedom of thought, too, with exposure to liberal arts programs and a more rounded approach that they enjoy.”

In the 2016-17 school year, the district hosted four exchange students – two from Japan, one from Germany and one from Kazakhstan – along with multiple teacher visits. Earlier this year, Mt. Vernon announced its new partnership with educators in Anshan, China. “(Assistant Supt. Tim) Long will be very humble about this, but back in 2008, he was approached to get involved with China and Taiwan, and it came from the governor at the time and the state superintendent,” Robbins said. “He pulled me into that fray, and we have just opened our doors as an opportunity through collaboration with other countries.”

“Many of school’s our parents here work in businesses and industries surrounding Indianapolis that are heavily incorporated with foreign investors," Long said. "Most of these children that will grow up to live and work in the area will end up working for these types of companies. The cultural side of it is important. Look how many members of our military end up serving in another country. So cultural sensitivity is important.”

District administrators aren’t only welcoming educators and students, they’re also being hosted. So far, Robbins and other district leaders have visited Taipei, Taiwan, and Anshan and Beijing in China.

In November and next summer, the district leaders will return to Taiwan to attend the International Global Forum on Education, in Miaoli County. In two years, Mt. Vernon will host the same forum.

Something to chew on

o b s e r v ation

Left behind

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker No one is left behind! When in combat, the compact demands that we mutually promise to bring back each of our own comrades to safety at battle’s end. It raises the conception that every fellow warrior is worthy of our commitment to their rescue if captured or to our compassion if wounded. Likewise, we can rest in the security of their care should we fall victim.

It is a concept with which we all have familiarity but is difficult to determine its origin. Some attribute it to pre-independence American soldiers fighting in the French and Indian War, Roger’s Rangers.

Others imagine an earlier ethos behind the idea. Regardless of etymology, the notion persists because it is honorable and well-conceived.

As we march into the foibles of life, we can feel abandoned by those pledged to stand with us. And too often, we can fail to live to our own promise. Mundane interests, timing, fear, or even ordinary distraction can draw us away from those we are sworn to defend. Are we living to our commitments to our faith? To our families?

Have we left behind those who would be there for us? Have we been left behind?

When voices cry out for attention, they are difficult to ignore. But those voices fade quickly from distance, fatigue or other distraction. Soon, we can forget they are there, still hoping for remembrance and longing for our devotion. Other matters arise as we justify our failure to meet our sworn obligations. Can we ever fully hope to absolve ourselves of a duty to those we have called comrades? If so, when is the mission complete and the contract fulfilled?

Fiscal responsibility requires discipline and oversight Commentary by County Council President Fred Glynn As you likely know, the Hamilton County Council is the fiscal body of our county government. As guest column such, the council is wholly and exclusively responsible to ensure taxpayer money is spent wisely. The Board of County Commissioners is the executive body, responsible for the execution of the funding we approve, and the day-to-day operation of county government.

This past March, we met with the commissioners and agreed on a group of projects that needed to be funded in 2017-18. Those projects included the Logan Street pedestrian walkway for approximately $2 million; expansion of the judicial center at approximately $25 million; and the highway 37 project, cost of which is yet to be confirmed. We also discussed a previously agreed upon priority of expanding the jail at approximately $10-12 million.

During that March meeting, we agreed with the commissioners that the courthouse and jail expansions were a priority. Our Council Finance Committee took

these estimates and worked with our financial consultant to find a way to fund these projects without raising your taxes or depleting our reserves. The first step to each project was an architectural/ engineering design, which came to a cost of $500,000 for the courthouse and $700,000 for the jail.

After having released that $1.2 million for the architectural/engineering plans, and not having final numbers yet to finish either, the commissioners sprung a new set of funding requests onto the council. One of those new requests is an $8 million request for the installation of solar panels on county property as an experiment in lowering the county’s electric bill.

I worry how funding this project will impact our current tax levy when funded in conjunction with other projects like the courthouse and jail.

Bottom line, we should concentrate on finishing and funding the priorities we agreed upon in March before we begin additional “pet projects,” as worthy as they may be. That is why I was elected, and that is the course I intend to pursue on your behalf.

For the full letter, visit currentinwestfield.com.

I have a problem. Well, yes, technically, I have many. But I want to focus on one that has become a source of eyehumor rolling around our house. It’s called misophonia, which basically means that people chewing their food drives me bat-poo crazy.

And no, I’m not making this “disorder” up.

There are multiple articles on the internet about the condition, apparently suffered by thousands around the world. Doo chowing down on a turkey sandwich with pickles and crispy lettuce, one of my daughters methodically eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Mamaw partaking of an apple and spinach salad are the stuff of nightmares for me. If I’m tired or stressed out, or having a bad day, I literally cannot stand to be around even my loved ones while they are eating.

Sometimes it’s so bad I make awful comments, though I usually do try to invent an excuse for leaving the room before it comes to that. After all, it’s not their fault they are loud eaters or that I have hyper-sensitive hearing, or that their mealtimes are corresponding with one of my I-don’t-like-any-ofyou moments. Luckily, my family has grown somewhat accustomed to these “flare-ups” and rarely pay me any attention. In fact, I’m fairly certain they play the “How Agitated Can We Make Mom?” game during dinner.

So don’t feel too sorry for them. They’ve learned a few coping mechanisms, as have I, and we’re all optimistic that my hearing will soon follow the way of my declining eyesight. Until then, we’ll muddle through the misery of misophonia together. Just not over a bowl of popcorn.

Peace out.

What happened to good manners?

Editor, I was just reading my latest edition of Current (Sept. 5) when I reached Danielle Wilson's column. I always read it because her writing is funny… sometimes. I always wonder what the household is like because of her quirkiness.

Today, I thought she would end with something funny about the word "insufferable" pertaining to her daughter.

Instead, she used it on our president. Disagree with him if you must, but spewing about him in the last paragraph of her column is disrespectful and not necessary. Name-calling, abuse of her public writing (as many media are doing) and sophomoric thoughts has brought this reader to the end of reading her column.

Ann Routson Noblesville

Editor, Libsteria (noun: conjunction of liberal/hysteria. Liberals' group-think state of mind as a result of their candidate losing the election.

Often manifested in loss of clear thinking and good manners when talking about our president).

Danielle Wilson's recent column (Sept. 5) is the definition of insufferable. I began to read it expecting a grammar lesson. She begins by saying she is bringing the term back, yet it was never gone. Then, she went on to a light-hearted commentary about her girls.

She ended by crudely insulting our president.

Those of us who lived through eight years of self-restrained criticism of Obama policies for fear of being labeled racists are now enduring unrestrained, holier-than-though comments by the self-adjudged smarter people on the left. I shudder to imagine the wrath that would have descended upon anybody who might have called the previous administration a poop show. Whatever happened to good manners?

Not the site humor of his grave, but of his grill, the home of the greatest hot dog money can buy, just minutes from my childhood home in New Rochelle, N.Y. When I was young, it didn’t take much money: two dogs for a quarter and a watery orangeade for another dime. The line at Walter’s Hot Dog Stand began forming at 10 a.m. in front of the food stand, inexplicably a Chinese pagoda. While waiting, customers could read postcards affixed to the outside of the building from locals traveling abroad who missed their Walter’s fix.

The coveted fare was simply a dog, a bun and some mustard. Each hot dog was butterflied with a small knife so two sides of the meat could sizzle on the well-oiled surface. The buns were carefully laid out on another grill, which was lightly drizzled with butter. You had two choices for toppings: mustard or extra mustard.

Each order was wrapped in tissue paper, the last inch of bun and meat peeking out.

Those slathered with extra mustard were

completely enclosed, making them more easily identified and preventing the inevitable ooze before the first bite. I had my share of stained shirts, a badge of honor for all Walter’s aficionados. The mustard, by the way, was a secret recipe. Everyone knew there was a hint of relish, but that was the only hint you got. You can buy the mustard online. I looked at the ingredients.

There’s something they’re not telling us.

All you could get at Walter’s for decades was a hot dog and a drink. In the 1990s, they added fries.

When I am back in my hometown, I run into old high school classmates who either still live in the area or, like me, make their pilgrimage to the pagoda, a must-eat stop on every return trip. The building still looks exactly the same, almost frozen in time.

Which reminds me: They sell ice cream now, another diversion from the original concept. And another source of disgruntlement from grouchy old frank-o-philes like me.

When Deirdre Shanklin and her husband, Keith, decided to break into the franchise business, they did their new biz research.

The Fishers couple chose Honest-1 Auto Care, a national, full-service auto care company. They opened the first franchise in Indiana in late August at 7349 N. Shadeland Ave., Indianapolis.

“We liked the name, Honest-1, and it represents who we are,” Shanklin said. “We like the practices of support they provide from the corporate office. It’s a proven process. My husband did his due diligence of researching the franchise and talking to other franchise owners. We visited a few as well. We’re family-friendly and femalefriendly. We try to be eco-friendly. As far as female-friendly, we have a nice, comfortable clean shop and clean restrooms. We even have a kids’ play area in our lobby as well.”

However, the couple has no experience in auto care.

“I was a preschool teacher and he was an electrical engineer and is a project manager for large commercial projects,” Shanklin said. “It’s a totally new venture for us both. My husband will continue his job. I will be here overseeing the operation.”

The company’s philosophy is a transparent approach that assures each customer is completely educated on the systems and services necessary to keep their vehicles in the best running condition.

Shanklin said her shop has a service manager and three technicians. Shanklin expects to hire at least three more technicians.

“I’ll be working the front desk and, who knows, one day I might learn how to change oil,” Shanklin said.

The Shanklins, who have a 12-year-old daughter, Sarah, bought the franchise rights in October 2015.

Honest-1 was ranked No. 1 in its category on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2017 Franchise 500 and ranked No. 241.

By Renee Larr • news@youarecurrent.com Kevin Wanzer mixes his messages with humor. faith Carmel’s Entry Point Church will host A Comedy Cabaret featuring Wanzer, a motivational comedian from Indianapolis. The family-friendly event will be at Morty’s Comedy Joint, 3824 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis, at 5 p.m. Sept. 24.

Wanzer’s motto is empowering audiences, one laugh at a time.

“Kevin tells stories, and there is a message, regardless of the audience he is speaking to. It's always centered around choose to love,” said Matthew Vire, vice president and program director for Choose to Love, LLC. “It’s a simple message about universal love and kindness. It's a message that is relevant pretty much anywhere. It's delivered through comedy, so the audience is laughing the entire time.”

The evening will include dinner with the price of admission.

“We didn't want to do a traditional gala kind of thing,” Vire said. “There will be a few silent and live auction items available, and we'll do some fundraising things during the evening. What's different about this particular event is we're putting it together to be entertainment.”

Wanzer’s message will only be part of the entertainment.

“We're planning a 90-minute program,” Vire said. “Kevin is headlining and will emcee. The band that plays at EPC will be there. We have a list of about nine or 10 singers who will perform with the band. All of the songs are funny.”

Proceeds will go to EPC and two other nonprofit organizations.

“EPC will also share some of those proceeds with Midwest Academy, which is EPC's home,” Vire said. “It's a small, nonprofit private school that serves kids with learning differences. The other is Outreach Indiana, which provides services to homeless youth in Indiana.”

Tickets are $50 for adult and $20 for youth. Children 12 and under are $15. For tickets, visit mortyscomedy-com.seatengine.com.

Tailgater’s Toolbox Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Dictionary.com says the first record of the “toolbox” was between 1835-1845. It’s a box to organize, carry and protect the tools of the craft of the owner. If your craft is tailgating then here are some ideas for the contents of your game-day, take-along, soft-sided, small tool box.

• Duct tape with team logo or at least team colors • Combination bottle and can opener • All-in-one plier tool • Clips to hold down tablecloth • Small Bungee cords • Matches or lighter • Nail clippers • Masking and other tapes • Wisk broom • Corkscrew • First aid kit for burns and cuts • Packs of antacid and gas chewable tablets (replace yearly) • Packs of aspirin or other pain killers (replace yearly)

For a recipe on Italian Baked Beans, visit currentnightandday.com

• Packs of wash and dry sanitary wipes and a small bar of soap • Ziploc full of tiny salt, pepper, sugar and sweetener packets.

No matter how well prepared you are, you’ll still become hungry.

I’ll have the crow Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Inside south gateway of Akbar’s tomb. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Tomb of Akbar the Great Commentary by Don Knebel

OKTOBERFEST.INDYELEVEN.COM

Akbar the Great was, as his name suggests, the greatest of the Mughal emperors, ruling a large portion of trav- what is now India from 1556 until his death in 1605. Revered both for his military successes and his religious tolerance, Akbar is honored by a magnificent tomb complex near Agra.

Akbar began construction of his own tomb in Sikandra, 5 miles from Agra, an important imperial city. After Akbar’s death, Jahangir, his son and successor, continued the work, completing it in 1613.

Akbar’s tomb is located in the center section of a four-story tiered pyramid, more than 300 feet long on each side, lying at the center of a square garden. The garden surrounding the pyramid is divided into four equal quadrants by water channels, symbolizing the four rivers of the Garden of Eden, which Muslims identify with paradise. The walls of the tomb area are covered with intricate floral and arabesque carvings, along with 99 names for Allah.

An inscription over the tomb entrance

reads: “These are the Gardens of Eden: enter them to dwell eternally.”

The 120-acre garden is enclosed by red sandstone walls, each nearly a half-mile long, with a gateway at the midpoint of each wall. The gateway on the southern wall is the most photographed structure in the entire complex, with an enormous central archway and 20 panels inlaid with white marble, black slate and colored stones. The southern gateway was inspired by the Buland Darwaza, a gateway built by Akbar at Fatehpur Sikri, his capital at the time, to celebrate a military victory. Shah Jahan, Akbar’s grandson, copied the four minarets at the corners of the southern gateway in his design of the nearby Taj Mahal.

When you visit the Taj Mahal, take a short side trip to Akbar’s tomb. You will be glad you did.

“In your recent article, ‘Who do you think you are?’ you state, ‘Additionally, authors like Shakespeare, grammar guy Chaucer, and books like the King James Bible often utilized that to refer to a person.’

Because you were referring to specific people and a specific book, shouldn’t you have used the words ‘such as’ instead of ‘like’ in your sentence?” –Becky, Carmel Becky, you’re absolutely right! You outgrammared the Grammar Guy. Here’s the rule: “Such as” indicates inclusion, while “like” suggests comparison. Take this example: Curtis has visited states such as Rhode Island, Idaho and North Dakota. The “such as” in this sentence indicates Rhode Island, Idaho and North Dakota are included in the states Curtis has visited.

How about this: Curtis enjoys limitededition treats like the McRib. The “like” in this sentence suggests there are other, comparable limited edition treats Curtis enjoys in addition to the McRib. Take, for example, the pumpkin spice latte or Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. Although I realize their scarcity adds to their allure, these items are the closest thing to perfection you can get for less than four bucks.

Here’s the McRub: Not everyone agrees.

Although I prefer clear-cut answers, I’m not finding many in the nuanced English grammar universe. Some linguists think “such as” sounds too formal to our casual eardrums.

In our rapidly devolving spelling and grammar multiverse in which we find ourselves, I tip my cap to those whose prose is elegant and purposeful.

If your intentions are to use grammar to be snooty, then I object (like when Starbucks changes its seasonal menu from pumpkin to peppermint). On the other hand, if you’ve got it, flaunt it (like if you ingeniously chose to save a pack of Reese’s Eggs in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator for six months, you deserve to enjoy them in January).

Although this issue seems to involve a minor, hair-splitting distinction, you’ve got to love good grammar; after all, it’s only available in limited quantities.

Addressing customers questions Commentary by Randy Sorrell Questions from the last few weeks from the Indiana Design Center studio of Randy Sorrell at outdoor living Surroundings.

Will the recent hurricanes have any impact on material supply and costs?

Likely. When Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, we felt a supply pinch on lumber, drywall and other supplies resulting in price increases and delays in materials deliveries.

What criteria is necessary to determine if a bathroom or kitchen project is a facelift candidate or requires a complete remodel?

Homeowner vision is the primary driver, followed immediately by budget. The quality of the existing cabinets, counters and flooring, ROI conversations and expected time to remain in the home are strong influencers, too.

Can cabinets be painted with a brush or must they be sprayed?

If you want them to look new and professionally done, sprayed. New products

have improved the roll/brush results, though.

Thrill us with details on the kitchen remodel project.

The layout on this Carmel kitchen flowed well so there was no need to expand or adjust the functionality.

The previously red cabinets were solid oak, a current design and in good shape… just a little tired. That allowed us to save the cabinets and offer a nice coat of Sherwin-Williams snowbound paint after considerable preparation. It married well with the silver strand walls.

The cooking island is a contrasting gunmetal for punch.

Granite counters were still fresh after being replaced a decade ago.

Italian Alps Glazed backsplash tile with light gray grout and a silver Schluter metal edge encouraged the modern vibe hoped for.

New door pulls, hinges, sink and edgy faucet finished the remodel.

Kitchen and bathroom upgrades continue to drive the remodel industry and refresh homes quickly.
