Democrats say signs point to increasing numbers By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Greg Purvis knows what it’s like to be in the political minority. A Hamilton County resident ELECTION since 2000, the 66-year-old Fishers resident is a Democrat in an area that long has been dominated by Republicans. He has run for local office four times and lost each bid, most recently losing to three Republicans for three at-large seats on the Fishers City Council in 2015. Now, he’s the communications chair for the Hamilton County Democratic Party, and he said he’s seen several trends that could indicate Purvis the county is leaning more blue than ever before leading into the 2018 elections. “We have filled every state legislative spot (with Democrats) that even touches Hamilton County,” Purvis said. “I don’t remember the last time that happened.” For the first time in nearly two decades, Democrats will have a primary election May 8 for county offices. Two candidates are running for the Hamilton County Council District 3 seat, and four are running for the Delaware Township Board, which has three available seats. “When have you ever seen a Democratic primary in Hamilton County?” said Joe Weingarten, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. “We don’t even know when it last happened.” Hamilton County election Weingarten records show that local Democratic primaries are few and far between. The last time it happened was in 2000, when three Democrats ran for two at-large seats on the county council. But the tide may be turning. Two years ago, the Hamilton County Democratic Party had approximately 50 active precinct chairs, but this year that number is closer to 150. In 2014, Democrats had only a handful of local candidates on the ballot, and in 2016 they had candidates for all 11 local offices except judge. This year, they have 21 local candidates with the possibility of adding more through the end of June. And the party had to move its monthly meetings to the Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers after increased attendance led to overcrowding at its previous home at Scotty’s Brewhouse in Noblesville. Shelley Carey, a lifelong Democrat who grew up in Gary, said one of the first things
she heard after moving to Carmel in 2016 is that “Democrats never win in Hamilton County.” She and her husband soon started attending the Hamilton County Democratic Party meetings, and within the last two years she said she’s seen local Democrats emboldened about their affiliation. “At one meeting, a woman said she was reluctant to share that she was a Democrat in this area knowing she was in the minority, but now she proudly proclaims her choice of being an active member of the Democratic Party,” Carey said. “No one should feel any one party has a monopoly on our area.” Primary participation In Indiana, official party affiliation is determined on the day of the primary election, when voters select the primary in which they’d like to cast a ballot. The county does not keep records of how many people vote in each primary, but in the 2016 primary election 74 percent of all voters who cast ballots for the office of president voted Republican. In 2012, when incumbent President Barack Obama was unopposed in the Democratic primary, 95 percent of those voters took the Republican ballot. Weingarten, a Fishers resident, said he believes the percentage of Democrats in the county is likely higher than the percentage of those who vote in the Democratic primary, as many voters believe their only chance to impact who is elected is through the Republican primary, specifically in municipal elections, which aren’t on the ballot until 2019. Although the number of Democratic candidates is growing, many believe the percentage of Hamilton County residents who are Democrat is increasing, too. The recent proliferation of high-end apartment communi-
ties that attract younger residents may be a factor, as 54 percent of millennials (ages 18 to 35) identify as Democrats compared with 48 percent of Generation Xers (36-51), 44 percent of baby boomers (52-70) and 41 percent of the Silent Generation (71-88), according to 2016 data from the Pew Research Center. “There is a possibility that attracting younger people will result in the party affiliation and ideology of the county shifting, but that ignores the fact that not all young people are Democrats or liberals,” said Andy Downs, director of the non-partisan Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics. “Also, it is possible that having one party in control might cause the new folks to join the Republican Party even if they are more liberal than the party.” Republicans remain confident Although Hamilton County Democrats are encouraged by the increased interest they’ve seen this year, Republicans say they’ve seen growth, too. Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Laura Campbell, who also is a member of the Carmel City Council, said she’s been hearing that the county is beginning to shift more Democratic for years but has yet to see any solid evidence. And while Hamilton County Democratic Party leaders said the election of President Donald Trump has energized their base and brought new people to the party, Campbell said it’s also been beneficial for Republicans. “The presidential election brought out people who hadn’t been as involved in the party before, and many of them have stayed engaged,” Campbell said. “I think we’re looking for a very interesting fall election.” For the full story, visit youarecurrent. com/?p=162398.

Teammates, parents question dismissal of coach By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Dozens of Carmel High School students and parents attended the April 23 Carmel Clay Schools board of GREYHOUNDS trustees meeting to support Tod Windlan, who was dismissed as the CHS girls basketball head coach April 20. The decision came exactly one week after CHS Principal Thomas Harmas sent a letter to parents Windlan of girls on the basketball team stating that a “thorough review” of the program had been conducted and, as a result, an open practice policy had been implemented. It concluded by stating that “there will not be a change in the head coach position as part of this plan.” A week later, parents learned that the decision was reversed. After the school board meeting, co-interim Supt. Roger McMichael declined to specify what led to the new direction, only saying that administrators gave “more consideration given to the matter and the decision was changed.”

At the school board meeting, Windlan’s supporters wore #FreeWindlan shirts and stood in solidarity whenever someone addressed the school board to voice concerns. The show of support followed a rally earlier in the day at the Carmel Clay Public Library. Supporters also planned a march down Main Street April 28. Laruen Gartenhaus, a sophomore on the basketball team, said Windlan is a role model who cared about each of the players, even asking them to text him when they got home if they were traveling in bad weather. She said most of her teammates supported

Harmas’ initial plan to keep Windlan. “We do not understand why he was fired,” she told the school board. “Several of my teammates and I were shocked to hear this news, because this team means so much more to us than just basketball.” Tom Leonard, whose daughter is a member of the basketball team, said that nearly 90 percent of the team supports retaining Windlan as coach. He questioned why, if Windlan’s actions were so “egregious,” parents were not alerted about the issues during the season, which ended Feb. 10 with a loss to Zionsville in the regional semifinals. “Everything from the beginning to the end surrounding this process of determining the fate of coach Windlan screams foul, as the issues at hand were held at bay until the conclusion of the season,” Leonard said. School board members and administrators did not directly address the issue during the meeting, but afterward they spoke with several parents and students seeking answers. CCS officials declined to share details on what led to the dismissal, repeatedly stating that it was a personnel matter and that employees have a right to privacy. Police confirmed they are not investigating any criminal activity related to Windlan.

Suspect sought in 17 burglaries By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Carmel police are searching for a burglar who wears a dark sweatsuit and ninja-style mask who is believed PUBLIC SAFETY to be responsible for 17 incidents in the past year and a half. Home surveillance cameras have caught the man during several burglaries. The Carmel Police Dept. has linked the cases through the video evidence, items recovered at the scene and similarities in items taken, which include expensive jewelry and cash. The burglar has targeted areas mainly on the southwest side of the city in the area south of Main Street, west of Spring Mill Road, north of 96th Street and east of Michigan Road. Police believe the suspect may also be linked to other burglaries outside of Carmel. CPD does not believe the suspect has

committed a burglary in Carmel since Feb. 3. The last two burglaries occurred in the 12600 block of Rhett Street and the 24000 block of Derek Drive. The burglaries have mainly occurred at night. CPD Lt. Joe Bickel suggests Carmel residents take simple precautions to help combat burglaries, including ensuring alarm systems and video surveillance systems are working properly, and putting a stop on mail or newspaper delivery while on vacation.
Former student sentenced
By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
A Carmel woman has been sentenced to five years probation and FRAUD ordered to pay restitution after committing fraud and forgery to gain admittance to multiple universities. According to the plea agreement, Cavya Chandra, 26, used a forged letter of recommendation to earn admittance to Carnegie Mellon University in 2009. She then used a forged transcript with inflated grades and other forged documents to apply to Cornell University, which accepted her as a transfer student in 2010. She received more than $130,000 in financial aid and tens of thousands of dollars in grant assistance while
at Cornell. The American Medical College Application Service reported suspected fraud to Cornell when Chandra applied for medical school in 2013 using forged transcripts that showed inflated grades, the plea agreement states. Cornell confronted Chandra and expelled her later that year. Chandra then used forged transcripts to apply to IUPUI, where she attended classes and graduated in 2015. IUPUI rescinded the degree when it learned of the fraud. Chandra pled guilty to one misdemeanor count of student loan fraud. As part of her sentencing, she was ordered to pay more than $70,000 in restitution to Cornell. Chandra did not respond to a request for comment.

Attorney recommends not enforcing ordinance until after election By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com An attorney for the City of Carmel has recommended that the city not enforce its sign ordinance until CITY NEWS after the May 8 primary election. At the April 17 Carmel Plan Commission meeting, attorney John Molitor said the city should take precautions in light of a judge striking down Hamilton County’s sign ordinance April 11. “I think the popular impression now is that candidates are allowed to put their signs in the rights-of-way in Hamilton County, so it’s kind of a practical consideration more than anything else,” Molitor said when reached by phone April 18. “I don’t think the city wants to get involved in doing something that looks like it might fly in the face of what the judge ordered the county to do.” The judge’s decision doesn’t apply to city ordinances, but Molitor said changes in state laws and a Supreme Court decision regarding a similar case in Arizona are reasons to keep an eye on the issue. “Carmel has addressed this several times in the last 10 years,” he said. “The problem is the courts keep issuing these new orders and the state keeps passing new statutes.” Rick Sharp, a candidate for a seat on the Hamilton County Council, filed a lawsuit Feb. 20 challenging the county’s ordinance. He said it restricted political free speech and limited chances for lesser-financed candidates to build name recognition. In his ruling, Hamilton Superior Court Judge William J. Hughes determined that the county’s ordinance was unconstitutional because it restricted some signs — such as political ones — in unincorporated areas but allowed commercial signs, which are regulated by a different code. Hughes stated the county has the right to limit signs to improve aesthetics and ensure public safety — two goals stated in the ordinance — but that it didn’t make sense to then allow only certain kinds of signs, especially when content is the determining factor. Molitor said Carmel’s sign ordinance is content-neutral and that he does not believe the city’s ordinance would be as difficult to defend as the county’s.

Proposal could force pests to be euthanized By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Meservy prides himself as a pest control operator who wants to eliminate the problem, not the DNR animal. “I’ve been doing this for 14 years, and I’ve always been able to catch and release,” said Meservy, who owns Advanced Pest Control in Carmel. “That’s Meservy why people call me. They don’t want a raccoon in their attic. They want to get it out but they don’t necessarily want it killed.” A proposal by the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources’ Division of Fish & Wildlife would force animal control companies to euthanize raccoons, opossums and coyotes rather than release them elsewhere in the county where they were captured. “One of the reasons, and it’s a weak reason, the DNR gave is they are spreading diseases,” Meservy said. “Animal control operators can tell a diseased animal. It’s not like knowing if your dogs are sick, it’s not hard. If they are, we have to put them down. Quite honestly, if you don’t have a hole in your roof you are never going to have a raccoon in your attic. If you had a hole, you have other animals that are going to get in, squirrels, bats, bees. All these animals don’t have to die because you can’t fix your roof.” Meservy said often he will ask customers if they can release on their property. “These are usually people with ponds or streams,’’ Meservy said. “They are not in the middle of the city.” The DNR position is that raccoons, coyotes and opossums have abundant, thriving populations in Indiana and do not stay where they are released. The proposed rule change states this creates problems for other land owners near the point where the animals are released and might cause those land owners to pay for the removal of the nuisance animal. Meservy said he understands when euthanizing might be necessary, but he opposes the blanket rule. The NRC will consider the rules change, taking into consideration public comments, at a meeting at 10 a.m. May 15 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis.

Mayor has surgery for sleep disorder By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
For more than a decade, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s had trouble sleeping at night. Sleep apnea, CITY NEWS caused by his sinuses, has made it difficult for him to sleep well at night, and the issue wasn’t improving, he said. “It’s gotten worse,” he said. “It was a struggle. I wasn’t getting the deep REM Brainard sleep that you need.” On March 26, Brainard underwent surgery at IU Health University Hospital in downtown Indianapolis. “It was tough to function well,” he said. “I was tired and constantly falling asleep. That’s all been fixed.” Nearly a year ago, Brainard was in an automobile accident in Carmel when his Ford Fusion crossed the center line. After the accident, he told police he was fatigued. Brainard was out of the office for nearly two weeks as he recovered from the surgery, but he was available via email and he communicated regularly with staff and constituents. He said it was a painful ordeal because doctors performed a tonsillectomy. “It’s much easier to have that done when you’re a child,” he said.

Spring Cleaning Hacks from: Sears Carpet and Air Duct Cleaning Quick & Easy Spring Refrigerator Cleaning 1. Make your own food safe refrigerator cleaner using 50/50 white vinegar and water. 2. Have some baking soda on hand for any scrubbing that may be needed. 3. Remove all food checking for expiration dates, almost empty condiment bottles or hidden leftovers that have been pushed to the back. Keep your grocery list handy as this is a great time to take inventory of what you need. 4. Using your spray, paper towels & baking soda if needed, wipe inside of fridge from top to bottom – including walls, doors, bins and shelves. 5. Line drawers with paper towels. It not only makes cleanup easier, but the towel will absorb excess moisture from your produce helping it to last longer! 6. Replace food & admire your clean organized refrigerator! 7. Use Dawn dish soap, water and a soft sponge to clean with the grain for the outside of stainless steel appliances. Remember to disinfect handles often between regular cleanings. • Keep a labeled bottle of 50/50 white vinegar and water on hand all the time. It’s a great safe way to clean cloudy glasses , soap scum from sink fixtures and pet spots from your carpets! • Not a fan of the vinegar smell? Fill a glass jar with vinegar and add 1-2 sliced lemons. After 2 weeks, the lemons will have infused their sweet springy scent into the vinegar. Mix the lemon vinegar with water (50/50) and start cleaning! • Vinegar is generally regarded as a safe cleaner when diluted. Please do a spot test before cleaning a surface for the first time. Did you know that carpet manufacturers apply a protectant to the carpet before it rolls out of the factory? That protectant has a life expectancy of a few years. Ask our expert technicians about re-applying a protectant when you get your carpets cleaned. While you tackle the fridge, let the professionals at Sears help with safe & effective: • Carpet & Upholstery cleaning • Tile & Grout cleaning • Hardwood Floor cleaning & care • Air Duct & Dryer Vent cleaning • Indoor Air Quality products

Couple to celebrate 74 years By Desiree Williams • news@currentincarmel.com This month will mark 74 years of wedded bliss for Carmel residents Tom and Lois Paino. Tom, 93, and Lois, 95, spent their lives pastoring throughout Indiana with a ANNIVERSARY 38-year tenure at Tom’s home church, Lakeview Church, in Indianapolis. While there, Tom built a 187-bed convalescent hall, three retirement centers and 25 homes for senior citizens. He also has been heavily involved with missions, having raised $35 million for 300 projects, including Bible colleges and schools around the world. Bible colleges hold a special place in their hearts because that’s where their love story began. They both traveled out of their home state for college, Tom from Indiana and Lois from Wisconsin. They met at Central Bible College in Springfield, Mo., where students were required to work at least two hours per day after the Great Depression. Tom was working in the cafeteria when he spotted Lois for the first time. “She came through the line and I saw her and I said, ‘There’s the girl that I’m going to marry,’” he said. “I was all of 17 years of age.” The university only allowed three dates per year, but that was enough for Tom and Lois. They married in the college chapel on May 23, 1944, just one day after graduation. After working in Indianapolis and traveling to 62

countries, Tom and Lois settled in Carmel 15 years ago. They wanted to be closer to their oldest son, Thomas Paino, and his family when he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Thomas founded Carmel’s Northview Church. Tom and Lois have three other sons and one daughter, 12 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. They credit common goals and good health as the keys to their marriage. “One of the things that we’ve been blessed with is good health, and that has enabled us to be involved in our community and reach out to friends,” Lois said. “When you have good health, you have everything. We’ve been very compatible through the years because we have had common goals, not only in serving God and the community, but (also) our family.”

CarmelFest adds ExtremeZone, wristband system
RIVALRY -WEEKT W O - PA C K
WEDNESDAY
MAY 2 7:00PM
news@currentincarmel.com
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
New to CarmelFest this year will be the ExtremeZone, featuring activities aimed at the tween and teen population, as well as the replacement of ride tickets EVENT with wristbands. CarmelFest is presented by the Rotary Club of Carmel and set for July 3 and 4. Although the younger children have the KidZone area, organizers felt an entertainment area for teens and tweens also was needed. The ExtremeZone centerpiece will be a zip line in the Center Green just south of The Palladium. In addition, ExtremeZone will include interactive events such as Human Foosball, Human Wrecking Ball, Black Ops, Defender Dome, Toxic Meltdown and many others. In response to attendee feedback, CarmelFest also is switching from tickets to wristbands for the KidZone and ExtremeZone areas. Many parents expressed frustration with standing in long lines numerous times to purchase the exact number of tickets for the rides. The wristbands will sell for $25 per day for the KidZone and $30 per day for ExtremeZone. The bands include unlimited use, with a $5 per wristband
CarmelFest is searching for volunteers to bring the two-day festival to life. Each year, CarmelFest requires more than 300 volunteers, who are needed for setting up and cleaning up the festival. Bibi Weprich, volunteer coordinator, said more volunteers are needed this year because of the addition of ExtremeZone. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to help in this area. Volunteers also are needed for parking and traffic control, Pedal and Park, games in the KidZone area, CarmelFest Has Talent, entertainment areas, ice delivery and the Centier Bank CarmelFest Parade July 4, which alone requires 75 volunteers. Most volunteer shifts last two hours. All helpers will receive a free T-shirt. Those interested must register online and sign a waiver. The website will be available soon. For more, visit carmelfest.net.

discount for purchasing the bands online before July 1 at carmelfest.ticketleap.com. A Golden Wristband will be available for $100. It covers both days and enables the holder to pass to the head of any lines. For additional ease and convenience, there will be a dedicated will call line at the event to quickly distribute wristbands

USPS food drive set for May 12 By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com On May 12, the National Association of Letter Carriers and the United States Postal Service and other partGIVING BACK ners are asking residents to help Stamp Out Hunger during its 26th annual food drive. In previous years, letter carriers and the USPS have collected more than 1.6 billion pounds of food nationwide in the past 25 years. In total, 49 million Americans — an estimated 1 in 6 — are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Thirteen-million are children. More than 5 million seniors, 60 and older, are food insecure. Many live on fixed incomes. “We’re proud of this food drive and the immediate help it brings to our local food pantries,” NALC Branch 888 President Ronnie Roush said. “We’re asking residents for their support to help make this another successful food drive. It’s easy to make a donation; simply leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on May 12 to help your neighbors in need.” Food banks and pantries often receive
the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need. Anyone interested in donating are asked to leave a sturdy bag with non-perishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice, cereal, etc., next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on the day of the drive. Letter carriers will collect the donations when they deliver the day’s mail. All of the food collected in each community will be donated to a local food pantry.

Austin Phillips never stops. The 22-yearold Cicero resident works two jobs. He helps unload trucks PHILANTHROPY and rolls silverware at DeLullo’s Trattoria restaurant. He sweeps up after clients and does laundry at All About You Hair Salon. He enjoys kayaking and making crafts. His mother, Renee Voss, said some people didn’t imagine he could have a fulfilling life when he was diagnosed with autism. But she always believed in him. “I knew putting Austin somewhere was not an option for us,” she said. “When he was diagnosed with autism at (age) 2, we were told to put him away somewhere and focus on his older sisters.” When the family moved from South Bend to Cicero, she said Janus Developmental Services, a countywide nonprofit based in Noblesville, was a godsend. “When we moved here, we knew no one,” Voss said. “We did several trips to Janus to see if it would be the next step for him, and it’s been amazing. Every day he wakes up with a purpose, and isn’t that what everyone wants?”

Phillips’ story was just one on display at the annual fundraising breakfast for Janus, held April 20 at the 502 Event Center in Carmel. The organization helps people with disabilities find employment and live fulfilling lives. Janus also runs an affordable, ondemand public transit system for Hamilton County. Chris Sorenson, executive director for Janus, said 2017 was a great year for the organization. “A number of people we serve have had employment there, and we’ve also had a Best Buddies event and we hope to continue that partnership,” she said.

CCS requests feedback, residents speak out on possible school closures By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools co-interim Supt. Roger McMichael knows emotions run high when there is talk of COVER STORY closing a school or redistricting. It’s inevitable, he said, but it’s also a good thing because it means that people care. A veteran school administrator, McMichael has had this discussion before, in Carmel and elsewhere. He McMichael knows he can’t remove all negative emotions, but he’s hoping to take at least one of them off the table. “It is my expectation that there will be a certain number of people who right now are mad, and some of them will go from mad to sad,” he said. “If there’s something that changes their school or school location, you can be sad about that, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that you’re mad at anybody or an entity. If I’m mad about something, I think somebody did something wrong.” Knowing it would be a controversial topic, McMichael initiated a discussion of declining elementary school enrollment at a school board workshop April 11. He said one solution could be closing one or two elementary schools and opening a new one on the west side of town, where the most growth is expected to occur. He identified Orchard Park and Carmel elementary schools as potential targets for closure, because they are the district’s oldest schools and in need of major renovations in the near future. But other campuses could be considered for closure if it makes more sense, he said. No decision has been made, and McMichael said he won’t make a recommendation to the school board — which will have the final say on any school closures or openings — until he has enough feedback to understand what the community would like to see. The district scheduled meetings with parents at both elementary campuses in April to present information on the aging buildings and declining enrollment numbers and gather feedback. And so far the majority of feedback has been clear: Don’t close these

two campuses. “These two schools may not be historically significant, but as far as location and function, they still need to be preserved,” said Larissa Muellner, a parent of a Carmel Elementary student. “After decades of contributing to the vibrancy in the core of Carmel, it does not make sense to get rid of those.” Enrollment in CCS elementary schools is already 800 students below capacity, and demographic projections predict a drop of nearly 900 more students by 2026. With

each school holding between 530 and 750 students, McMichael said it’s fiscally responsible to consider reducing the number of elementary school campuses, which cost approximately $2 million to run each year. Renovations cost anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of building a new school. A new building costs approximately $26 million and takes approximately three years to complete, McMichael said. Of the district’s 800 empty seats, 100 are west of Meridian Street, the approximate geographic center of town. Of the 700 empty seats east of Meridian, 100 are between Meridian Street and Keystone Parkway. The remaining 600 seats are on the east side of town. Orchard Park and Carmel are the only elementary campuses between Keystone and Meridian. Some parents have asked whether it would make more sense to close campuses with more empty seats than Orchard Park and Carmel, but because of redistricting those numbers could easily change, McMichael said. “The issue is not which school has the least enrollment, because Woodbrook, for example, is well below capacity,” McMichael said. “It’s not really so relevant as to what the current enrollment is in a particular school, it’s where the kids are located.” Projections show that enrollment is expected to increase 1 percent at Carmel Elementary and decrease 3 percent at Orchard Park by 2021, which is more stable than projected at other schools, such as Smokey Row (-14 percent) and Forest Dale (-11.8 percent). The discussion will continue the first week of May with public meetings at 6:30 p.m. May 1 at Clay Middle School, May 3 at Creekside Middle School and May 7 at Carmel Middle School. McMichael said the discussion affects everyone living in Carmel, especially taxpayers. “It’s my responsibility to try to ensure the community and school board that we aren’t proposing to spend millions of dollars and then shortly thereafter decide we didn’t need to do that,” McMichael said. “We’re talking about a lot of money, people’s lives and moving kids around. All of those things are very important.” Editor Anna Skinner contributed to this report.

PARENTS SPEAK OUT Parents of students at Orchard Park and Carmel elementary schools shared a variety of concerns at public meetings held in April. “For many of us, (walkability) is not just a buzzword. It’s about quality of life. Walkability has an impact on our physical and emotional health, in addition to affecting personal real estate investments and assessed property value within the city of Carmel.” -Sarah Perkins, Carmel Elementary parent
“Because of all the growth we see in the center (of Carmel), the thought of closing Carmel Elementary seems counterintuitive to the growth occurring here.” -Allie Missler, parent of former Carmel Elementary students
“That is not a first step to welcome this neighborhood to the Carmel community, by saying, ‘Congratulations, you’re in Carmel (now), we’re going to close your school.” Laura Moore, Orchard Park parent and resident of Home Place, which Carmel annexed March 1
“It makes sense to keep our elementary near the district’s high school, thriving city center and emerging midtown area,” Darcy Wiley, Carmel Elementary parent
“It scares everything out of me that (walking my kindergartener to school) might be taken away from us,” Stuart Drake, parent of a student at Orchard Park

Daily rituals
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker There are some things we do once in a while. We eat ice cream. We take long naps. Each is good, even great, in its own way. They punctuate our lives with small respites of joy. They remind us that life is firmly ours to control – as much as we try to convince ourselves that we have precious little over which we can fully direct. Yet, there are other things, maybe even more things, that are a committed part of our daily ritual. We do them at the same time, in the same way, and with the same approach each and every day, for decades at a time. We brush our teeth. We tie our shoes. We look one last time in the mirror before turning out the light and heading out the door. What we expect to see is unknown, even to ourselves, but we must do it. Without the simple action, the ritual would collapse. It is the step we take, every day, before departing our homes. Failure to complete the task could be disastrous – well, maybe not, but why risk it? So, of these many quotidian sacraments, which are worth preserving? Of the thoughtless and habitual actions moving us from one morning to the next, are we squandering our effort on those of little consequence? Is it time to review our ceremony and consciously decide which adds value and which to dump? Sure, most dentists agree that the intentional hygienic process of cleaning one’s teeth should stay on the list. But, as we review our own peculiarities, is it less clear as to the import of our other lesser daily actions? If we spend a minute a day for decades, or perhaps a lifetime, can we feel good about the market’s return on our investment? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

READERS’ VIEWS Education key to opportunities Editor, I attend Clay Middle School. In our social studies class we were asked to find an issue we wanted to change or reform. I realize that I have been blessed with an amazing education, and I am provided with many options and opportunities. I want every kid to have the same opportunities I have. Unfortunately, many don’t. Many kids live in poverty and cannot afford to go to
school. Some cannot go to school simply because they are girls. I want to change this. It would greatly help my cause if more people knew what education is like outside of Carmel. If they knew that money is one of the things keeping kids from gaining their most powerful tool, education (it would help). If you could help me spread the word it would be greatly appreciated.

Sun Valley trail is out of this world Editor, I was out west in Idaho in Sun Valley walking on a paved public trail. On the trail I came across a sun painted on the trail. It was about 2 feet in diameter and was marked SUN. About 20 yards further there was Mercury. A few steps beyond that was Earth and so on. Finally, about three-fourths of a mile down the trail was Pluto. It showed our entire solar system, and they were all correctly spaced! There weren’t many people on the trail that day; however, those of us who saw
it were quite amazed at the distances between our planets. What a great idea, as people could even gauge how far they were planning on walking that day. “Let’s walk to Pluto!” What a great learning experience just simply walking down the trail, and what a nice project it would be for a grade school. Hopefully, Orchard Park (that’s where my son attends) could make this happen and learn about our solar system. Mark Wishart, Carmel
I survived my first prom dress shopping experience! With my oldest daughter, that is (back in 1989, I’d searched for months before discovering a specHUMOR tacular off-the-shoulder taffeta number with puff sleeves that perfectly complimented my magnificent bangs). She’s attending “the big dance” next week, and as most of you already know, it’s all about the dress. She had ideas about length and color, and of course, I had ideas about cost and cut. Anything over-priced or too revealing would be off the table. “I’m not spending hundreds of dollars for you to look like a lady of the night!” After navigating the jungle that is Macy’s for 10 minutes, we found the juniors section. She went left, I went right, and we reconvened with nine potential winners between us. “To the dressing room. Away!” Holy, moly. My daughter rocked every single one she put on. Navy, burgundy, satin, chiffon, sequined, plain, it didn’t matter. Stunning. I don’t know why this surprised me, but it did. I’m so used to seeing her making weird faces in leggings and a ratty T-shirt that I don’t think of her as a beautiful young woman. And the self-confidence! Does she care her acne’s flaring up? Or that she takes after me in the small-chest department? Nope, not in the least. She stood in front of that mirror like a runway model, strong and fierce and gorgeous. I’m happy to report we left with an onbudget, age-appropriate dress that she adores. And not only did I survive the experience, but I truly enjoyed the time with my daughter. Yay, prom! Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS Why I am running Editor, People ask me why I am running. “Rick, haven’t you had enough?” is a common question. I will tell you why I am running. I love this county where my wife Susan and I raised our family. It is vibrant and full of talent and possibility, and I feel I have more to give. I have been an active member of the Hamilton County community for the 26 years we have lived here, whether on the community level or political. I have, I believe, unique qualities that separate me from the other candidates for Hamilton County Council District 4, and I think these make me the best qualified to represent this district and serve the citizens of the county. I am the only one of the four candidates for this office that has served on a fiscal body, the Carmel City Council, where I
served for 12 years. I know what the job is because I have done it and will be ready to hit the ground running on Day 1! I am the only one of the candidates that has experience running a small family business, so I know what it means to make a payroll and how to squeeze a buck for all it is worth. Finally, my 12-year track record, out there for all to see, demonstrates that I have the commitment to fighting for taxpayers and the strength of will to see the fight through. Your vote on May 8 will not be to send a member of the establishment elite to the county council, but rather a representative who will fight for you. Give me your vote May 8 and I promise you won’t regret it! Rick Sharp Candidate, County Council District 4

Pauley has knowledge, experience for Hamilton County Council Editor, It is my pleasure to endorse Christine Pauley for District 4 Hamilton County Council. Christine is devoted to family, faith and her profession. She is extremely energetic and will work hard for the citizens of Hamilton County. As clerk treasurer for the City of Carmel I know she is equipped with the knowledge in government affairs such as budgets, contracts, bonds and finances. Christine will be
an asset to the county council, and with her present government experience and past business background, she will be ready to serve on Day 1. On May 8, vote for Christine Pauley, the candidate with government knowledge, experience and professional skills to provide a voice and advocate for District 4 of Hamilton County. Connie Pearson, Sheridan
Maki wants ‘to hit people in their wallet’ Editor, Recent campaign fodder offered by Sue Maki suggests that she is opposed to increased “taxes,” but her campaign rhetoric hopes that we never find out that she really stands for “hitting people in their wallet.” Ms. Maki presents herself as a candidate for county council, which is the county’s fiscal body and primary point of controlling taxes. Ms. Maki also is an employee of Carmel Utilities, which has raised its rates consistently and significantly during her tenure. As an employee of Carmel Utilities, Ms. Maki was interviewed by Water Efficiency Magazine (ForesterNetwork.com), and in
that article she stated, “(Carmel Utilities) went to an inclining rate structure. Hit people in their wallet and that produces change.” Ms. Maki’s words need no clarification. Her track record is clear. She feels entitled to demand more of our money, and frankly, she seems somewhat proud of it. I cannot conceive of any words that more starkly disqualify a candidate for a position on a budget-making body. I have no need to elect people who feel comfortable telling a national publication that she is justified in “hitting me in my wallet.” Michael R. Shaver, Carmel

Managing meditation stress Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My sister meditates and claims it makes her feel like another person. She has a small apartment in New York, so I HUMOR hope there is enough room for everybody. Meditating must be working for Linda because she once sent me a recipe with directions like: • I tbsp of chili sauce (DO NOT USE KETCHUP!) • I cup of whole milk (ABSOLUTELY NOT SKIM MILK) She was a little on edge back then, but now when I ask for one of her famous recipes, I get things like: • I tsp of butter (unless you prefer olive oil — just go with the flow) • 2 oz of sour cream (yogurt would be more wholesome, but use whichever tastes better to you) I wanted to learn how to meditate. I sent my wife a text to see if she also was interested. When Mary Ellen got home she was really upset. “We’ve never been happier. What brought this on?” My text said it was time for the two us to try mediation. Darn spell check. To begin my journey, I got a book called “How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind,” by Pema Chodron. Pema’s book begins with this quote: “Our life is an endless journey: Meditation allows us to experience all the textures of the roadway, which is what the journey is all about.” Obviously, Pema has never driven in Indianapolis, because any journey here is all about avoiding potholes. The book uses expressions like: The principal of newness; having a naked heart; getting closer to yourself; scanning your body; tasting your emotions. Way, way too new age for a guy in old age. Now, I’ve downloaded an app called Headspace to walk me through some meditation exercises. My sister thinks this will make me a less material person. Linda is wrong about that: I’m a humorist … so the more material, the better.

Dance Kaleidoscope’s Paige Robinson depicts Michael Haas’ frustrations during “Sharing My Story: Still Connected.” (Submitted photos)
Frustrations shared in dance By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com Genevieve Keegan-Bedano
Michael Haas said if he had to use one word to describe Alzheimer’s disease, it’s silence. ALZHEIMER’S The Carmel resident’s story was recently told through interpretive dance during “Sharing My Story: Still Connected,” at the Arthur M. Glick JCC Laikin Auditorium. Haas’ story explored his frustrations with Alzheimer’s disease. They included forgetting his usual drink size at Starbucks: A ‘venti’ that he’s ordered hundreds of times; standing in the kitchen and forgetting what utensil he’s holding in his hand; sitting at the Christmas dinner table with his children and grandchildren and forgetting stories about his own childhood Christmases. The Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter partnered with Dance Kaleidoscope to tell 10 personal stories, written by local Alzheimer’s Association Early-Stage Program participants, through interpretive dance. Dance Kaleidoscope choreographed and performed the diverse stories. Some of the early-stage program participants, including Haas, went onstage to read their stories prior to the performance. Haas’ wife and caretaker, Mollie, described the event as wonderful, inspiring and therapeutic. “It was intense,” Mollie said. “It really let us see our experience in a fresh way.” Michael and Mollie attend several of the Alzheimer’s Association Early-Stage Program events throughout the year, including plays at The Tarkington and previous Dance Kaleidoscope performances. The couple moved from New Hampshire, where they both taught at Franklin Pierce University, to Carmel in 2014 to live with their son, Roy, and grandson, Tim. In New Hampshire, Michael taught Comparative Religion at Franklin Pierce University and was an Episcopal priest. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that

more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and predicts 16 million will have the disease by 2050. “Sharing My Story: Still Connected” is part of the Alzheimer’s Association Early-Stage Program and Dance Kaleidoscope’s Turning Points program, a collaborative initiative that creates a safe environment for individuals to share their stories through narratives and dance performances. For information, visit alz.org/indiana.
AN EXCERPT FROM MICHAEL’S STORY “When we get home, I am standing silently in the kitchen between the sink and the stove. I look at the object in my hand. What is it and where does it go? I can’t think of the words to ask. Wait. I just took it out of the drawer. On the cutting board in a random heap: carrots, leafy celery, a papery onion. The holy trinity of my cooking for more than 50 years. I will use this implement in my hand to chop them finely, uniformly. I transform that heap of vegetables into the symmetrical gold, white and green of the Irish flag. I may not know what to do next, but I am still connected with my vegetables. And the vegetables connect me with my family. They love to eat what I help to cook.”

New location ‘timeless’ By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Long before it was built, Encore Sotheby’s International Realty principal Mark Zukerman wanted the ENCORE SOTHEBY’S company’s new central Indiana headquarters to be “instantly recognizable.” Now that the building at 12411 N. Pennsylvania St. is complete, Zukerman believes several features — from the architecture to a rooftop terrace — make it just that. “We wanted to be in a location that would be timeless,” Zukerman said. “The Meridian or Illinois or Pennsylvania street corridors were very appealing to us, and we were very fortunate to be able to put this at what would be the point at the beginning of the Old Meridian and Pennsylvania Street corridor.” After nearly a year of construction, the building’s first two tenants — boutique real estate firm Encore Sotheby’s and private air travel company Jet Linx — moved in to their new offices in November 2017, and Loan Depot and Near North Title Company are expected to open on the first floor May 15 and June 1, respectively. Zukerman said he’s hoping a café or small restaurant will fill the remaining 1,200 square feet on the first floor. The

6,900-square-foot second floor is unoccupied for now. “The building demands more of a higherend or luxury-type tenancy, so we’re looking for the right fit,” Zukerman said. “As owneroccupiers of the building we can be a little bit more selective.”

Handheld scanners debut By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com In an effort to continue to maximize time for shoppers, Kroger is bringing the Scan, Bag and Go concept to TECHNOLOGY Indiana. The Kroger at 14800 Hazel Dell Crossing near Noblesville and Carmel border is the first of 12 stores in Indiana to use the device. The system officially debuted April 19. Soon, it likely will be introduced at the Fishers stores at 9799 E. 116th St. and 116th St. and Allisonville Road. Another one will launch shortly thereafter at 172 Logan St. in Noblesville. The new system allows customers to use a wireless handheld scanner or the Scan, Bag, Go app on their smartphones. One may pay on a mobile phone with the app. Clear bags and reusable bags are available. “You can scan your Kroger Plus card and from there you can take it through the store and purchase any items you want,” Kroger/ Central Division media spokesman Eric Halvorson said. “You ultimately end up at the self-checkout to pay for it.” When a shopper gets to the checkout line, he or she points the scanner up and it shows everything already scanned.

“Everything is in the bag already so all you have to do is swipe your credit card,” Halvorson said. “The only thing that might be a hitch is if you buy alcohol, because that will have to be verified by a Kroger associate.” Shoppers can monitor prices and scan coupons as they shop. Cincinnati Kroger stores have used the system for seven years, division front end manager Dorathy Vise said. “They’ve been working all the bugs out of it,” Vise said. “We’re going to roll out 500 stores across the country, and next year another 500 stores.” Halvorson said no one will lose a job because of the technology.

Duke Tumatoe joins John Waite to kick off Fishers’ Friday-night concert series By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Duke Tumatoe can afford to be picky. “There is only so much that makes sense to do at my age,” Tumatoe said. Tumatoe, a 71-year-old CarmEVENT el resident, will be making his first appearance in the AMP After Dark concert series June 8 to kick off the Fishers series set for Friday nights. As a result of construction at the Nickel Plate District AMP, the concerts will take place on the Central Green through June 22. Tumatoe and his Power Trio will perform before John Waite, former lead vocalist for The Babys and Bad English. Waite’s solo hit “Missing You” was a No. 1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. Tumatoe will warm the crowd up with blues and humor. “I’ll do a few of my old stuff, from the last 10 to 12 albums, and some blues tunes and have some fun with them,” Tumatoe said. “We’ll see what the crowd is into and we’ll go from there.” Tumatoe, whose last album was released in January 2017, is working on an album that likely won’t be released until 2019. “We’ll be all over the place June through October,” Tumatoe said. “I don’t travel like I used to do.” Tumatoe prefers venues where crowds are there to enjoy the music. “Showcase rooms, performance halls, theaters, concerts where I can get a crowd that has come to see me,” Tumatoe said. “There are some venues that just are not as much fun to play in as others. At this point of my career, I’ve done enough stuff just for the sake of doing it. It makes sense now to get the kind of crowds to listen to what I do. What I do comes from a blues background, but there is a lot of storytelling and mischief in it.” Tumatoe said some people misunderstand the blues. “The blues in its natural element is intended to make fun of life, all the way from dead presidents to 300 pounds of heavenly joy,” Tumatoe said. “I have four generations of family that come to see me

and hire us for private events. It’s heartwarming to get the response I’ve gotten over the years.” Tumatoe is well known for working for the “The Bob & Tom Show” on radio in the mid-1980s. “It’s almost like I have two careers, where there is Bob and Tom, where people associate me with humorous things and
topic-driven stuff,” Tumatoe said. “Then there is my blues career, not that they don’t overlap in my live shows.” For several years, Tumatoe performed the song “Lord Help Our Colts,” which he updated each week during Colts’ season. “This year they brought me out of retirement because the Colts were so bad, and I did about 12 versions,” he said.

Commentary by Mark Johson Where to go: Burgerhaus Where it is: 89 Veterans Way, Carmel When it’s open: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mark’s take: Let’s talk about burgers, shall we? Better still, let’s talk about Burgerhaus, a great restaurant for gourmet burgers. The menu features an impressive list of burgers with an array of toppings. Not in the mood for a burger? No worries, appetizers, salads and other entrees are available. So, enjoy a meal at a hip, stylish eatery with friends, family, co-workers or all the above. It’s a great dining experience. What to get: For first-timers, I recommend the Haus. This one is closest to a traditional burger with a lot of room to

SUNDAY, MAY 6, 3PM The Palladium at the Center of the Performing Arts The premiere of Rachmaninoff’s First Symphony was so poorly received that it took years of psychotherapy and hypnosis to drive away his self-doubt. Thankfully, he persevered with the triumphant Symphony, a lush and romantic masterpiece that moves us to this day.

Sauvignon blanc for springtime Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Sauvignon blanc is a great choice for warm weather. It’s a green-skinned grape that originated in WINEderlust Southwest France. Like any grape, it takes on nuances of the soil and environment where it’s grown. Thus, sauvignon blancs from different parts of the world do vary in color, taste and body. My favorites tend to be described by terms like: fresh, crisp, aromatic and elegant. Usually, sauvignon blanc is both food-friendly and sippable, making it smart to have on hand in case of impromptu entertaining. I’ve got three to suggest. Two are the same price, but stylistically different. The third will be a splurge. First up is Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 ($19). In full disclosure, New Zealand wine is normally not my favorite, but it is wildly popular. It tends to be too stylized for me. This option is from a famous NZ maker, Kim Crawford, and is a great choice. The wine shows off big ole’ grapefruit flavors, typical of the region, without being too over-the-top. It boasts a successful blend of lemon, lime, fresh thyme and passion fruit
flavors. Yum. Second is a pretty French selection, Domaine de la Perriere Sancerre, 2016 (also $19ish). Almost green in color, it has perfumed aromas of white flowers and peaches. In the mouth, it is citrusy, minerally and a tiny bit smoky. This wine is a great choice with salads, asparagus or white fish. Merry Edwards has been one of my favorite American (and female!) winemakers for many years. Her wine is great. All of it. The Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 is $39 a bottle and worth every penny. Always highly-rated, it is a blend of 70 percent sauvignon blanc and 30 percent sauvignon muscat. Golden in color, it smells like nectarines, apples, pineapples and quince. Mouthwatering and bright, think tangerines, candied citrus, pink grapefruit. Elizabeth Morse, owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for close to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, Hoosier Chef, Food Writer, Wine Guru & Hamilton County Master Gardener who believes in supporting all things local. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade. Check out her blog: www.schlepicurean.com.

Pooling shade, privacy and landscaping Commentary by Randy Sorrell It’s always a joy to design and install outdoor living spaces for wonderful families who want to impact OUTDOOR LIVING their living/entertaining habits, and this space is a fantastic example. This Carmel pool area was somewhat benign (the owner’s description, as I recall) prior to installation and needed pulled into the home’s embrace. It lacked color, felt exposed to the world and needed privacy, low maintenance solutions and shade. But, what a beautiful pool! PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS • The large, multi-tasking pergola frames dramatic views from the home, provides shade respites and contributes to developing layered privacy from the stately development behind them. Round columns and details on the pergola ends echo the home’s architecture. • An elegant blue stone ribbon around the concrete pool decking provides color, urges formality and gently expands the living space just enough. • Spectacular colorful landscaping

screams with foliage and flowers through the pool season while making the open space feel more livable. Russian sage, nearly wild roses, ninebark and moonbeam coreopsis are several of the curated plants. • Indiana limestone at the pergola base stops the eye and offers a brief place to sit during large gatherings.

Syria’s historic Jaabar Castle Commentary by Don Knebel A castle in northern Syria has a rare distinction – it figured in battles during the Crusades and in the TRAVEL recent Syrian civil war. The Jaabar Castle, known in Arabic as Qal’at Ja’bar, is atop a hill about 25 miles west of Raqqa. Since the seventh century, the hilltop has been fortified to guard a crossing point on the Euphrates River that connected Raqqa with the west. The first castle on the site was built by local Bedouins in the early 11th century and came under the control of the Ugaylids, a Muslim dynasty, in 1086.
