The new provision went into effect July 1 and allows districts to set the school safety tax rate no higher than 10 cents per $100 of assessed home value. Previously, only funds for construction projects and operating needs were able to be placed on a ballot. Carmel voters in 2017 overwhelmingly approved an extension of the district’s operating referendum. The referendum tax rate increased by 3 cents, bumping it to 19 cents. Beresford said he hopes the community is supportive of the plan to improve school safety. “It is taxing people, and it’s another contribution they’re making to support schools, so everybody has to vote their conscience,” Beresford said. “I think (a successful referendum is) vital to having the kind of atmosphere and environment for our kids to learn in.”

Future of planned Noah’s Event Venue unclear By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com

The future of Noah’s Event Venue, planned for 13315 Illinois St., Carmel, is in doubt after investors filed a lawsuit claimCOURTS ing they were defrauded, and then the parent company soon after filed for bankruptcy. The lawsuit, filed April 30 in a Utah court, states that the plaintiffs believed they were investing in a three-story event center already built or under construction and instead were sold vacant land. It claims they were led to believe each of Noah’s more than 40 event centers across the nation were financially separate and successful but later discovered otherwise. “Older investment venues paid steady returns to investors, not on the basis of successful management and profitability, as represented by Defendants, but through cash generated by new investments or cash generated from other facilities,” the lawsuit states. It also states that Noah’s Event Venue

founder, William Bowser, used the plaintiff’s investment funds to pay debts and complete construction on other properties and that in March Bowser announced that Noah’s would stop making payments to the investors. The lawsuit states the investors are mostly older, retired individuals from across the nation who collectively invested nearly $5 million to purchase Noah’s Carmel through a tenant-in-common structure, which allows multiple people to own a property. According to Hamilton County records, the vacant property is assessed at $294,000. Utah-based Noah Corp. filed for bankruptcy

in late May, complicating the matter. Officials from Noah’s Corporate Office and an attorney representing them did not respond to requests for comment as of press time. The Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals Hearing Officer approved a variance for Noah’s in December 2018, and the company applied for a building permit April 10 but never paid the related fees or followed up, according to City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely. Information provided to the Carmel Plan Commission for a November 2018 meeting stated that the 12,792-square-foot building was expected to host large events, such as weddings on weekends and corporate meetings during the week. It was planned to include a main hall with an adjustable stage, lobby and event-staging area on the first floor and include a large meeting room and two conference rooms on the second floor. The third floor would have two small conference rooms and an open-air large meeting room. Noah’s operates more than 40 facilities in more than 20 states, but the proposed Carmel location was the first to be three stories.

Stricter smoking ban heads to city council for vote

By Ann Marie Shambaugh • annmarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council was set to vote July 15 on changes to the smoking ordinance that add a ban on ecigarettes, strengthen CITY NEWS enforcement options and prohibit smoking in bars except those already in existence. The council’s Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee unanimously approved amendments to the ordinance at a July Rider 9 meeting. The review of the ordinance began in the spring to address an increase in e-cigarette use in schools. Carmel Clay Schools prohibits vaping and has penalties to address it, but school resource officers are not able to cite students who are 18 years old and older for using e-cigarettes on campus because the law does not prohibit it. The updated ordinance would ban vaping everywhere that smoking is banned, which includes schools and buses. It also would give police authority to issue citations, as currently enforcement is only handled through the Dept. of Community Services, the fire marshal and city attorney’s office. As committee members reviewed the ordinance, they

considered making the smoking ban more comprehensive by expanding it to bars and private clubs, two areas currently exempt. Ultimately, they decided to grandfather in the three bars that permit smoking and allow private clubs to determine their own smoking policies. “I’m not getting into (regulating) private clubs,” councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider said. “That’s the whole point of a private club.” The proposed ordinance still allows smoking at tobacco retailers. The committee added a requirement Finkam that a bar or tobacco retailer must be in continuous operation at the same location to maintain its exemption from the smoking ban. “I really don’t want it to be like an alcohol permit, where they can move it from place to place,” councilor Sue Finkam said. American Legion Post 155, 852 W. Main St., is the only private club in Carmel that allows smoking. The three bars are Nippers Grill & Tap, 1772 E. 116th St.; Old Town Tavern, 29 W. Main St.; and Jimmy B’s, 10598 N. College Ave. All three are in “prime redevelopment areas,” according to Finkam. Visit YouAreCurrent.com for coverage of the July 15 council meeting.

A new multi-use path is being installed along 136th Street between Range Line Road and Stadium Drive. Construction is expected to finish in August. Work continues on the expansion of Cherry CONSTRUCTION Creek Boulevard to complete the final phase to connect Hazel Dell Parkway to River Road. The project is expected to be complete by the end of this month. A partial closure is under way at 96th Street and Gray Road for construction of a roundabout. The project is expected to be complete in August. 96th Street is closed at Keystone Parkway for construction of a roundabout interchange. Drivers can make right turns onto 96th Street from Keystone Parkway, but left turns are not available. 96th Street is expected to reopen in November. Construction of a pathway along the north side of 126th Street to connect Keystone Parkway to Hazel Dell Parkway is under way. It is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Guilford Road reconstruction is under way between Main Street and City Center Drive as well as a culvert replacement adjacent to Carmel Middle School. Construction on a new roundabout at Guilford Road and Main Street is expected to begin on or after Aug. 1. A partial closure is expected at 96th Street and Delegates Row for construction of a roundabout. The project is set to begin on or after Aug. 9 with an anticipated closure of 75 days.

Trent earns ENSPIRE honor By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com On Tyler Trent’s high school graduation cap, he wrote, “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” TRIBUTE Those were the words of late basketball coach and announcer Jimmy Valvano, who was battling cancer during his ESPYS speech in 1993. Trent never made it to the ESPYS, dying Jan. 1 at age 20 after a courageous battle with the rare bone cancer, osteosarcoma. The Carmel resident became nationally known as a super fan of Purdue football. His family made the trip to the ESPYS for him July 10. The previous night, Trent posthumously received the Stuart Scott ENSPIRE Award at the Sports Humanitarian Awards, presented by ESPN, in Los Angeles. Purdue football coach Jeff Brohm presented the award to the family. Scott, an ESPN anchor, died of cancer in 2015. Prior to that, he gave a memorable ESPYS speech after receiving the Jimmy V Award. “It was really my son’s dream to be in the same company of Stuart Scott and Jimmy V,” Tony Trent said. “Tyler would watch their speeches in the hospital at night when he was getting chemotherapy. To be thought of almost in the same company, it would bring him to tears.” Tony described the experience of accepting the award as incredible. “It was emotional, it was incredible,” Tony said. “We got to meet the Scott family, his wife and their two daughters. It was an incredible blessing. Tyler would have so appreciated to be here.” Trent drew national attention when he predicted Purdue’s upset of No. 2 Ohio

State Oct. 20, 2018, a game he attended in a wheelchair. Trent had been forced to drop out of school a month before as his condition worsened. He was later named an honorary captain of the Purdue football team for the Music City Bowl game. Trent used the attention to encourage donations to cancer research. He co-wrote a book titled “The Upset: Life (Sports), Death… and the Legacy We Leave in the Middle — The Tyler Trent Story” with John Driver. The book was released a few days before he died. Trent’s goal was to raise a $1 million for cancer research. Along with the award, the Trents directed a $100,000 grant from ESPN to three charities, donating $50,000 to Riley Hospital for Children and $25,000 each to Purdue’s Center for Cancer Research and the Jimmy V Foundation. Highlights of the Sports Humanitarian Awards will be televised at 7 p.m. July 18 on ESPN.

Pedestrian killed by pickup truck on City Center Drive By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com A Carmel man died after being struck by a pickup truck shortly after 7 a.m. July 11 on City Center Drive. POLICE Carmel police said a 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Coty Coffman of Indianapolis was traveling eastbound when it struck Thomas McAllister, 81. McAllister was crossing the road near Timber Creek Drive, which is not a

designated crosswalk. Investigators believe glare from the sun may have been a factor in the accident. Coffman remained on scene and cooperated with police. Drugs and alcohol are not believed to have been a contributing factor. Police said it is not known if charges will be filed against Coffman. City Center Drive was shut down between Guilford Road and Clark Street for several hours during the investigation.

Parade route rules may change By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com For years, it’s been easy to tell that Independence Day is near in the heart of Carmel, as folding chairs CITY NEWS start popping up along the CarmelFest July 4 parade route to reserve spots for their owners. But lately, some feel the tradition has gotten a bit out of hand, as stakes and tarps have been set out to reserve large spaces and placeholders of all kinds began appearing earlier and earlier. This year, the first one was spotted June 22, according to Jeff Worrell, a Carmel City Council member and longtime CarmelFest volunteer. Worrell said he’s received a great deal of feedback on the issue and feels it’s time for something to be done about it. “I don’t want to lose the quaintness and tradition that you can put your very nice chairs out there and they’d still be there the next day,” Worrell said. “But now it’s like saying they’ll still be there next week.” So, Worrell is planning to propose an ordinance that would allow placeholders to be left out beginning at 10:30 a.m. July 2, or 48 hours before the start of the parade. He

said having them set out earlier than that can cause problems for businesses owners who are trying to mow and create difficulties for people with limited mobility. The proposed ordinance would only allow chairs and blankets to be left out. Worrell said tarps have killed grass and stakes can cause other problems. The early placement of chairs has caused some people to say they will no longer attend the parade or assume they won’t be able to find a spot to watch it if they don’t reserve space early, Worrell said. But he added that isn’t the case. “There’s plenty of room. You don’t have to reserve a spot,” he said. To provide feedback, contact Worrell at jworrell@carmel.in.gov or 317-471-9836.

Rider and Albrecht started dating in October 2011. On their one-year anniversary, Rider proposed to Albrecht on the roof of the JW Marriott in Indianapolis and the couple became engaged. “As life happens, things get in the way and we never set a date,” Rider said. On the Fourth of July however, Rider said he wanted to remind Albrecht about how much he loves her and that he still wanted to get married. “It was a beautiful evening,” Rider said. “We were walking down the Monon handin-hand and I saw the fireworks going off and all of our friends had walked in front of us, so I just stopped and dropped to one knee to say, ‘I still love you, will you still marry me?’” Although a spontaneous moment for

Later that night when Huffman looked through photos, he realized he captured the moment and posted the photo on Carmel social media pages, trying to find the couple. The photo went viral, and he found the couple close by: 10 doors down in his own apartment building. “I thought this was great,” Huffman said. “I thought it would just reach the couple since I figured they were Carmel residents, and I figured that was about as far as it would go.”

Food, animal showcases round out 81st 4-H fair

The Hamilton County 4-H Fair, now in its 81st year, will return this week at the fairgrounds in Noblesville. COUNTY From July 18 to 22, hundreds of 4-H’ers will show various projects, the culmination of their work during the past year.

Each day of the five-day event held at the fairgrounds at 2003 Pleasant St. opens at 10 a.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

LETTER

Language lineage

Brebeuf story falls short

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor’s note: This letter was written in response to a recently published story titled “Brebeuf Jesuit alums support school’s refusal to fire gay teacher” Editor, I’m a member of the vibrant surrounding Catholic community. I take issue with the misleading and inaccurate headline and the presentation of this controversial topic which fell far short of presenting a complete understanding. The responsibility for this controversy is being unjustly assigned to Archbishop Thompson, not to where it appropriately should be, Brebeuf. The relevant issue is this: A Catholic school’s obligations to teach the faith clearly and without contradiction. The archbishop is responsible for holding the schools within his jurisdiction to account for this principle. Brebeuf, Cathedral and all private Catholic schools must require their employees to abide by the requirements set forth by the bishop. Brebeuf leadership chose not to do so and must suffer the consequences. Secondly, the three men expressed belief that the Church can change its teaching on marriage; however, it is grounded in natural law and therefore cannot change. Mary Jeanne Kurdys, Westfield To see the full letter, visit youarecurrent. com

It seems that we humans like to distinguish ourselves from other, slightly older humans in a multitude of ways. We wear different kinds of clothes. We eat different kinds of foods. We listen to different kinds of music. And, we each hang on different, and supposedly much cooler, words. Sure, there is some overlap. Society would cease to function if each successive generation were to completely reinvent our civilization. Still, in the eternal wrangling for dominance between the three or four distinct generations that populate this planet at any given time, we sometimes use language not to advance clear communication but as a weapon to exclude and maybe even to shame folks with whom we’ve not shared the hipster decoder ring. To be on the inside of any group gives us a sense of belonging and power. OK. We have called ourselves tuned-in. We have called ourselves hip. We have called ourselves woke. At each of these junctures in history, someone would clumsily assume hip to be a body part and tuned-in to be something one might do on a radio. We planned to accomplish just that outcome. It gives us a chance to sneer at the wisdom accumulated by years on the planet. Such is the lineage behind the ministers of “wokeness.” To be woke is alleged to be alert to injustice, especially to race. Good, we could all stand to improve. Yet, woke, like much of this kind of jargon, scolds even as it is vaunted as transcendental. Can we hope to awaken to a better understanding of ourselves and each other if our lingo makes it clear that there are insiders and outsiders?

My wife was looking through my smartphone to find a photo I took on a recent vacation. HUMOR “Do you ever delete any of these images?” she asked. “You have a lot of really weird stuff in here.” “Don’t erase anything!” I told her. I’m becoming more forgetful, so I take pictures of almost everything. Mary Ellen and I went through my phone together to discard any unnecessary shots. She said this would give me more memory, but she was referring to the phone, I’m pretty sure. The first thing we did is delete the six closeups of my foot. Not sure how that happened. “OK, Dick. Here’s an album full of photos of old to-do lists. Why are you saving those?” “That’s in case I have the same things to do another day. I can just copy and paste. There should be a folder full of different grocery lists in there, too.” “This image of your computer keyboard, is that so if you have to replace it, you can show the sales clerk what order you want the letters in? This photo of the list of all your passwords will be handy if someone finds your phone and wants to share in our life savings. And who are these people I don’t recognize?” “Mary Ellen, I took their pictures so I would remember them.” “Who are they?” “Either the folks I play pickleball with or new reporters at Channel 8.” “But you still don’t know their names?” “No, but now I’ll at least recognize them when I see them, and I’ll know for sure whether I’m at work or the YMCA.” “Dick, here are several pictures of an old man with thinning hair and a double chin.” “That’s probably my friend Luke at the nursing home.” “Nice try. They’re the worst selfies I’ve ever seen.” She continued, “I’m seeing lots of photos of an attractive redhead. Is something going on behind my back?” “Very funny, Mary Ellen. I was standing right in front of you each time I took your picture.”

COMPLIMENTARY NEW PATIENT EXAM AND CONSULTATION

Carrie Starnes, left, and Stacie Akins work with the Kenyan medical team. (Submitted photo)

Carmel women assist in Kenya By Jasmine Hsu news@currentincarmel.com Carmel residents Carrie Starnes and Stacie Akins recently spent two weeks in Eldoret, Kenya, as part of a team aiding Kenyan doctors in treating blood GIVING BACK diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a high percentage of Kenyan children have blood disorders, such as hemophilia. Hemophilia is a life-threatening disease in which the body lacks the proper blood clotting factors, making even a tiny cut expel large amounts of blood. Being a Third World nation, the people affected by hemophilia in Kenya don’t have access to proper medical care and treatment, which led the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center to partner with the Indiana University School of Medicine and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, a medical school and hospital in Eldoret, in 2010 to identify and treat patients suffering from the disease. The Indiana team of Starnes, Akins, Anne Greist and Jeanne Sagar travel twice a year to Eldoret. “I usually go to the clinic with one or two of the doctors and do board rounds. We’ll do some lectures and typically have two or three clinics throughout the week,” Griest

said. “When we’re not in clinics, we’ll go on rounds, have strategic planning meetings and we almost always have a kind of outreach where we go to an underserved area.” Akins recalled a story during one of the house visits about a young man who had hemophilia. Because of the clotting, his knees were permanently bent at a 90 degree angle, making it impossible for him to straighten them and walk. “We were able to get him a mobility cart, bring it over with us and deliver it to his home,” Akins said. “It’s a cart that you sit in and propel it with your hands, like a hand bicycle. They live in rural Kenya, so it’s very arduous for them to get to places. His father would carry him up to school and his teachers would carry him around. Now, someone helps him up with his mobility cart and he goes to school on his own and he can come home to do things by himself.” The team plans to visit again in the fall. “This is something that is treatable, and we want to get health coverage for them through government programs rather than relying on donations,” Greist said. “Educating families on the importance of getting to hospitals, increasing awareness, getting information across to the local and national government levels and advocating for more assistance for treatment are what we are hoping to do.”

officials plan to continue applying for federal grants. Heirbrandt said the intersection at Hazel Dell Parkway is the top priority of all intersections in the study. He also said the county may start preliminary engineering and environmental work there to stay “ahead of the game.”

CHANGES COMING

Elsewhere along 146th Street, the county has major improvement projects under way. Interchanges will be built at Ind. 37 and Allisonville Road, with construction expected to start in early 2020 and late 2022 or early 2023, respectively. Later this year, the county plans to repave certain segments of the corridor, including the intersection at Hazel Dell Parkway. A larger repaving project, which received federal funding, will upgrade the road from U.S. 31 to Hazel Dell Parkway. The project isn’t expected to begin until late 2023, when federal funds become available. The county also is planning to look at 146th street at U.S. 31, which uses a system of ramps and signals that many drivers find confusing. Officials want to find ways to help traffic flow more efficiently through the area. County officials also are planning to use what they’ve learned through the 146th Street project to widen roads that are expected to become major eastwest corridors in the future: 236th Street and 276th Street. In the meantime, the county has upgraded the 146th Street corridor in smaller ways, adding multi-use paths, upgrading and installing ADA compatible ramps, upgrading pedestrian crossings and signalized intersections and implementing flashing yellow arrows for left turns. Ever since the county first considered widening 146th Street more than 25 years ago, collaboration has been key. With so many municipalities affected, officials say they are still committed to working together to improve the road throughout the county. “The county and all the cities and towns all get along really well,” Heirbrandt said. “We all realize that we’re stronger as a team rather than just one entity.”

“Sometimes you get out there and it’s not even rush hour and you’re wondering, ‘Where are all these people coming from?’” – Stacey Kiernan, Carmel

“146th Street is dangerous, but not from the design. Rather, the attitudes and behaviors of the drivers make it dangerous. People have a blatant disregard for others. They view their time as more important than the safety of others. They jump green lights and run red lights. With the speeds on the street, that is a deadly combination.” – Bill Winn, Carmel

“I’m a runner, and when I am on 146th Street to get to the Hagan-Burke Trail, I go fast because I’m afraid someone’s going to jump the highway.” – Deb Leyndyke, Carmel

in the past and what we can do better,” said Brad Davis, Hamilton County Highway Dept. director. “Had the people in the early days tried to limit some of that access, that whole congested area from Greyhound Pass to Allisonville Road would be a little bit different.” Officials did learn from their mistakes. When they widened the road on the east end to Campus Parkway and I-69, they predetermined where curb cuts would be and required developers to adhere to the plan. And as the county widens 146th Street to the Boone County line, it’s creating roundabouts and frontage roads to minimize traffic stops and future gridlock.

Gray Road

LEARNING FROM THE PAST

Serving as a northern border of Carmel and Fishers and a southern border of Noblesville and Westfield, 146th Street touches all of the largest cities in Hamilton County. It stretches from the Boone County line on the west and connects to I-69 to the east via Campus Parkway in Noblesville. Previously a two-lane county road, Hamilton County officials met great resistance from people who lived near it in the mid-1990s when officials proposed widening it in the heart of the county. Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger, who was first elected in

1989, recalls being told he had “asphalt for brains” because he supported the project. The county council almost didn’t fund the expansion, but when a survey showed that 87 percent of residents thought it was a good idea, it was included as part of a $70 million bond issue, Dillinger said. Because the road touched so many cities, offiDillinger cials from those municipalities agreed to allow the county to improve and maintain it. “They all signed an agreement that from that time on, 146th Street would be under the control of the county all the way through,” Dillinger said. “The reason for that was to create continuity.” The first phase of the project widened 146th Street to a four-lane road between Spring Mill and Cumberland roads, a stretch with many of the traffic concerns now. In part because of the resistance to the project, county officials said they now believe they kept the road too narrow and allowed too many curb cuts and traffic lights to appease developers and nearby residents, which has led to some of the difficulty of efficiently getting through the area. “The county has tried to look at what we did wrong

Carey Road

When Deb Leyndyke moved into her northeast Carmel home near 146th Street and Carey Road in 2001, she enjoyed relaxing on her back patio and walking her dogs along the perimeter of the neighborhood. She doesn’t often do those things anymore. As Carmel and surrounding Hamilton County communities have grown, so has the traffic on 146th Street. It has led to increased noise and motor vehicle accidents on the road, which has become one of the county’s major east-west thoroughfares. “(146th Street) has worried me for a long time,” Leyndyke said. “Whenever I hear sirens just outside of my window, I know it’s probably because something has happened at 146th and Carey.” Accidents at signalized intersections along 146th Street between Clay Terrace Boulevard and Hazel Dell Parkway increased nearly 7 percent between 2015 and 2018, according to numbers provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Leyndyke — who witnessed a car veer off the road through a fence and whose husband’s favorite car was totaled at a 146th Street intersection — is among many area residents with concerns about the road. And elected officials have taken notice, too.

“It’s an unsafe road the way it’s been designed, and we need to work together to fix it,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “It should not be Carmel’s sole responsibility, but we can help.” Hamilton County — which is responsible for maintaining the road— has made several improvements and has some major projects planned on the Brainard east and west sides of the county. But along the oldest stretch of the four-lane road, which seems to be most concerning to drivers, a lack of funding has made some recommended upgrades unattainable to date.

much traffic.” Finkam’s district includes the majority of a stretch of 146th Street included in a 2018 feasibility study that looked at improving intersections from Lowe’s Way to Hazel Dell Parkway. The study, conducted by CHA Consulting and funded through Hamilton County, concluded that most intersections operated at an acceptable level of service at the time but that all of them will be unacceptable by 2035, with several failing to be acceptable as early as 2020 if improvements aren’t made. The study recommended teardrop roundabout interchanges, similar to those on Keystone Parkway in Carmel, at all intersections except the Cool Creek Commons entrance, where a two-lane metered roundabout is recommended. The study also estimated the cost of upgrading each intersection, with the metered roundabout coming in at $5.8 million and the others at approximately $27 million each. Because of the construction costs and need to acquire several parcels of land to build teardrop roundabouts, county officials are not sure what the future will look like at those intersections. “It’s very difficult when you get someplace like Gray Road or Carey Road because the amount of property we’d need to do those (teardrop roundabouts) is very large,” Davis said. “There’s a lot of businesses already developed right up next to the road, so it’s not known if you could even do them or not.” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said he and other county representatives went to Washington, D.C., after completion Heirbrandt of the 2018 feasibility study to meet with elected officials and the Federal Highway Administration to discuss the possibility of using federal funds to help pay for the projects. “We very rarely come out there asking for funding, but this is such a large project and it’s so important to the county we felt it was important to look for any funding opportunities that were out there,” Heirbrandt said. To date, funding has not been identified, but county

Family, education law firm opens By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Catherine Michael understands visiting a lawyer isn’t something most people are eager to do. NEW BIZ So, she wants her new firm of Connell Michael Kerr, LLP, to be accessible. “The thought of spending time with a lawyer Michael isn’t delightful to most people, and it is often the most miserable time of their lives,” said Michael, whose focus is education law. “So, we try to make ourselves very much approachable. We are human beings and mothers and trying to manage our careers, our children and our families like everyone else. We know what it’s like to spend money, and it’s not fun.” Erin Connell and Michael, the founding and managing partners, are Carmel residents. The firm’s main office is at 550 Congressional Blvd., Suite 115, Carmel. Sonja Kerr, an education law attorney, is based in Austin, Texas, where the firm has an office. The firm also has an office in Galveston,

Texas. All three were members of Hollingsworth & Zivitz, a Carmel firm primarily focused on family law. That firm recently dissolved because of a deadlock over management. Kena Hollingsworth bought out her law partner Christina Zivitz’s shares. Hollingsworth said she plans to continue practicing family law and will have an announcement in the near future. Connell Connell Michael Kerr, LLP opened July 1. Michael said she had thought about having her own firm one day but hadn’t planned it. “Hollingsworth and Zivitz was dissolving, and I’m a great believer where there is crisis comes opportunity,” Michael said. “This wonderful, exciting opportunity came out of it.” Michael said the firm has several additional attorneys who will join this month. Michael said three members of the administrative staff of Hollingsworth & Zivitz have joined the firm. For more, visit cmklawfirm.com.

ATI’s SOAR program helps students learn all aspects of professional theater By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hannah Luciani is completely sold on the value of Actors Theatre of Indiana’s education program. THEATER Luciani, who will be a Zionsville Community High School junior in August, took part in the first SOAR Professional Development program in January and February. “I absolutely love the education programs at ATI and think they are doing a fabulous job with preparing and propelling their students for the world of professional theater,” Luciani said. “Like me, the other eight kids I was surrounded by during the SOAR process were extremely passionate and utterly devoted to theater. We all had to learn from each other, work together, take master classes, observe professional rehearsals, put together a showcase and compile scenes and songs. If it sounds like theater geek heaven, it’s because it is. After my first experience with SOAR had finished, I immediately asked if there was a way for me to continue being a part of SOAR, and/or the education program, because I felt like I had benefited so much from it.” So, when she heard ATI was doing SOAR this fall, she immediately knew she wanted to be a part of it. “I feel like I have so much more to absorb and I couldn’t think of a better place to learn from besides an education department that creates a home and cares so much for its students, such as the one at ATI,” she said. SOAR, part of the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Student Theatre Education Program, is designed for youth ages 13 to 18 who are interested in pursuing professional careers in arts or theater, Amanda Boldt said. Boldt and Katherine Clemons, who runs the program, are ATI co-eduction directors. Both still perform as well. The program starts Aug. 20 with interviews being conducted in August. Registration ends in early August. Students get to meet the cast of ATI’s

“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and watch rehearsals, tech and dress rehearsal. “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” runs from Sept. 6 to Sept. 29 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “They come to the opening party, like they are a part of the show,” Boldt said. “While they are doing that, they also take master classes from actors and all different people in the industry. Then, they have rehearsals to put on their own showcase at the end of the program.” Boldt said they invite college representatives from area schools and talent agencies, so the students have an opportunity to display their talents. The showcase is Sept. 28 at the end of the six-week program. Most of the sessions are from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday nights. Previously called the ATI Immersion Experience, the program was rebranded to SOAR. Boldt, a 2013 Carmel High School graduate, said there is an interview and audition process for applicants. Seventeen applied and nine were selected. “We want them to be able to take on the responsibilities that we are going to

give them with the program,” Boldt said. The program is capped at 15 students so they can receive personal instruction. Clemons said the biggest thing they learned from running it the first time was they needed more time for the program. “We told them it was going to be very fast-paced and it was almost too fastpaced, so we made it one week longer,” Clemons said. “That way they would have another week to get their showcase performance down and sell it. We try to have the kids pick something outside of their comfort zone so it will show them how strong their abilities are to do different things.” In addition to working with the actors in the show, choreographer Carol Worcel will teach dance to the students. There is a mock audition day where ATI co-founders Don Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins give the students feedback. Nick Carpenter, who teaches adult improv classes, is brought in for a class. “It’s one of the first classes to really get the SOAR kids loosened up and ready,” Boldt said.

State competitors perform well editorial@youarecurrent.com Alexander Chen loves performing in the sixth annual Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition for young pianists. The 12-year-old from Carmel placed third in solo category for ages 5 to 18, which was concluded June 30 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. “I’ve done this competition four times, and I’ve gotten used to that final moment of a performance. It’s very appetizing,” Chen said. “The audience is so different here. You get the feeling that you’re being watched by so many more people, it’s like a full-stage performance here. You get the full performance experience with the stage lights and everything. I like getting to perform for people from all around the world and learn from other performers.” Finalists received diplomas, trophies, and up to $20,000 in scholarships.

What began as a Carmel High School TV class project to create a video series eventually turned into an acclaimed documentary by former CHS students Hope FILM Stauffer and Adele Reich. “Adele and I decided we wanted to focus on documentaries,” Stauffer said. “We were trying to find unique people within the community in Carmel and Greater Indianapolis.” Stauffer and Reich, 2019 graduates, codirected the documentary. “INDY-viduals: Rising Above” focuses on No Label at the Table in Carmel, a glutenfree and dairy-free bakery that only employs people on the autism spectrum. “Rising Above” will be featured in the High School Film Competition in the July 25-28 Indy Shorts Film Festival at Newfields in Indianapolis.

She had been selected as a semifinalist and then finished in the top three July 3 in the first day of completion. McCoskey, who finished second in the competition in 2016, said the previous experience helped. “I was less nervous,” she said. McCoskey, who is homeschooled and will be a fifth-grader, sang one of her favorite songs, “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” McCoskey, who performs in musical theater, was in “Shrek The Musical Jr.” in June in a Junior Civic production in Carmel.

Digital artist completes ‘Times of Rhymes’ By Laura Anderson editorial@youarecurrent.com It is often said that the creative adult is the child who thrived. Adam Parsons, a Carmel digital artist and illustraART tor, has a creativity that not only thrived but continues to endure. Parsons is well-known for his perseverance as his larger-scale works take months to create. For 10 months, he worked 16 hours every day to build his vividly intricate artwork, “Times of Rhymes.” It was created using the app Procreate on the iPad Pro. Its 900 layers were then stitched together in Adobe Photoshop. As if that wasn’t enough work, each scene within “Times of Rhymes” also has its own set of rhymes to explain how the characters think and feel in today’s world. Complex themes such as the desire for diversity and obsession with selfies are woven throughout the piece. Parsons said while growing up in Britain, he often heard the phrase, “I can’t be bothered” when people wanted to avoid doing work that needed to be done. Now, Parsons encourages others to “be bothered.” His

mantra is meant to “inspire people to do the things that aren’t that difficult, but that most people don’t push themselves to do.” This philosophy drives Parsons’ artistic process and gives other artists the muchneeded push to create. “We have the ability to directly tell future generations of the times we live in now,” he said. “It will be fascinating because they’re going to find our world bizarre. That’s why I document.” Parsons is working with the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Digital Media Lab to combine his love of digital art with his

Moore follows family’s direction By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s not a surprise that Alaina Moore eventually wanted to direct. It’s in her blood. “I usually act in the sumTHEATER mer shows, but I’ve always had the desire to direct thanks to my parents, who are longtime directors (Michelle and Collin Moore) at Mud Creek,” said Moore, who will be a Lawrence North High School senior. Moore will direct “Trap,” a production by The ACT, a Mud Creek Players youth outreach group. The ACT, which stands for The Association for Creative Theatre, is a unique program for ages 13 to 18. The completely teen-driven program is free for participants who meet throughout the school year to plan a summer production.” “This is my first time directing a full

show,” Moore said. “Last summer, I was the assistant director. I’ve also been a part of the directing team/director of our mid-year family dinner show for the past three years.” Very little plot details are released about “Trap,” which runs at Mud Creek Theater July 18 to 27. The premise is every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious, every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders and the investigators pursuing the case, a theater ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. “The fun of this production for me is the mystery,” Moore said. “We’ve made it so that the audience has no idea what they’re walking into. From a directing point of view, watching the whole show progress is huge for me.” For more, visit mudcreekplayers.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating space in Westfield laundry room Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: This 2006 home is in Westfield. The homeowners rely on the extra storage found in their laundry room, which is conveniently located next to the kitchen. The extra space is needed for everyday use and when they play host to friends and family.

THE CHALLENGE At just more than 150 square feet, this is an elongated space with unusual angles. The existing refrigerator had to remain because it was sized to hold platters used for entertaining. The homeowner also wanted a solution for storing her extensive collection of table linens.

THE SOLUTION 1. The wall shared between the laundry room and the pantry was moved to provide more pantry space and allowed the washer and dryer to be repositioned for better accessibility. 2. Furniture-grade cabinetry in a soft blue was installed to the ceiling. Special features like roll-out trays, a trash bin pull-out (used for dog food!) and pants racks, cleverly utilized for hanging tablecloths, made the finished solution truly unique. 3. The quartz countertop tapers out from the doorway, allowing for maneuverability and accessibility to the refrigerator. 4. A gorgeous, fully tiled wall and a beaded chandelier were the final touches that turned this once mundane space into a beautiful, functional retreat.

Can something sound wrong, but actually be right? Take, for instance, French fries dipped in a Wendy’s GRAMMAR GUY Frosty. This combination shouldn’t be good, but it’s actually a dollar menu match made in heaven. Fries dipped in a Frosty sounds wrong — but it’s so right. What’s the grammar equivalent of the Frosty-French fry connection? How about the word “gotten?” You probably use it and simultaneously think, wait, that can’t be right — can it? Let’s explore. I’ll clear this up right away: British English doesn’t use “gotten;” instead, it uses “got” as the past participle of “get.” The British also call “French fries” “chips” and drive on the wrong side of the road. I suppose you can’t be right all the time. “What is a past participle?” some may ask. Let’s have a quick refresher. A past participle is one of the four principle parts of a verb. It usually signifies an action that has been completed. With regular verbs, simply add had, have or has before the verb and -ed to the end to get your past participle. Examples include “have played,”

“had closed” and “has purchased.” However, many verbs are irregular; get is one of these irregular verbs. The present tense of get is “get.” Get’s past tense is “got.” In American English, the past participle of get is (have) “gotten.” You would be correct to say, “I have gotten lazy in studying my Eastern European capitals lately.” Consider another example: I have gotten many angry emails from red pentoting grammar purists lately. Even though it may sound wrong, it’s technically correct grammar to use “gotten” with a companion word like have, has, or had. That doesn’t mean I like it. No, I don’t like “gotten.” Instead, I encourage you to use nicer-sounding words like “become” or “grown” in the first above example or “obtained” or “received” in the second example. When you read Grammar Guy next week, I hope to write something like: This columnist has received a lifetime endorsement deal from Wendy’s.

Pyramid of Teti at Saqqara, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Egypt’s lost art of pyramid-building Commentary by Don Knebel As the Pyramids of Giza prove, 1,400 years before the biblical Exodus, Egyptians were able to build massive tombs capable of enduring forever. They quickly lost TRAVEL that ability. In about 2600 B.C., Pharaoh Sneferu erected the first true pyramid, made entirely of stone blocks, featuring smooth sides and encompassing 60 million cubic feet. Its size was exceeded by the Great Pyramid of Giza, completed by Sneferu’s son Khufu in about 2560 B.C. Khufu’s pyramid, with a volume of about 90 million cubic feet, represented the apex of Egyptian pyramid-building. The pyramid of Khafre, Khufu’s son, was about 14 percent smaller, and that of Menkaure, Khufu’s grandson, was more than 90 percent smaller. After Menkaure, pharaohs stopped building pyramids entirely from stone blocks, settling for less expensive and less durable designs. The pyramid of Teti at Saqqara shows how quickly Egyptians had lost the art of pyramid-building. Teti, who ruled Egypt in about 2300 B.C., was the first pharaoh in Egyptian history to be assassinated, perhaps by

DISPATCHES Wood floor repair — Some wood-floor scratches look worse than they really are. If you don’t feel a deep gouge, try this remedy to make it disappear. Dab a bit of white toothpaste onto the minor scratch, and rub it in with a damp sponge. Wipe the scratch area completely clean with a dry cloth, and your scratch should be gone. Source: BottomLineInc.com Intelligence — There are a number of things other than genetics that can influence intelligence. Here are several: 1. Smoking – several studies have shown that nonsmokers have higher IQs than smokers. 2. Music – brain research has shown increased activity in brains of those who took music lessons. 3. Pets – while dog people are more outgoing than cat people, the cat people did better on intelligence tests. Source: MSN.com

his own bodyguard. His pyramid was essentially a pyramidshaped pile of rubble, covered with a veneer of dressed limestone. The pharaoh’s mummy and his grave goods were placed in a stone chamber buried within the rubble. Robbers long ago removed the exterior stones and most grave goods, but left behind the so-called “pyramid texts” carved on the walls of the burial chamber, reflecting Egyptians’ beliefs about life after death and considered the world’s oldest religious writings. If you want to learn more about Egyptian history, I will be speaking at a luncheon meeting of the Travelers Century Club at Seasons 52 at Keystone at the Crossing July 27 at noon.
