Editor, I knew something was different – and better-looking – when I began my weekly reading of my favorite newspaper. First of all, it seemed easier to handle and read, ads “jumped out at me” and headlines and color were sharper. Kudos to you. I went on to read what you did, and I LIKE IT. Lori Mansell 46033
Dear Editor, Congratulations to Current in Carmel for publishing the cover story, “Reflecting Poorly” in the April 30 edition. As a resident whose apartment overlooks the reflecting pool and to whom the reflecting pool is potentially an exceptional, beautiful and laudable structure honoring our veterans and the city of Carmel, it has been my frustration to see during the last three [...]
Editor, I am disappointed in your poor choice of timing when you cite (with photo) Andy Ray’s long-past renunciation of his Eagle Scout credentials in the same issue of Current (April 30) in which the Carmel Mayor’s Breakfast for Scouting appears (without photo). This was an unfortunate and completely unnecessary distraction. Mr. Ray was undoubtedly aware of the words comprising the [...]
Editor, As a Palladium ‘country series’ subscriber from the start, the facility and the talent it attracts to Carmel is appreciated. But for these amplified concerts, the sound to me is not good. It’s faint and garbled in my area, and apparently loud and shrill in others. It’s like what you might expect in the lawn at an outdoor venue. [...]
Dear Editor, I was glad to read that at the recent school board meeting there was public participation requesting the school board to consider increasing the time allotted for elementary school recess. I have a child in a Carmel/Clay elementary school and was surprised when I learned that all CCS elementary school children (grades K-5) only receive a 15-minute recess. I [...]
Dear Editor, Both of my sons, Vincent Carter and Lewis Carter, ran their first Carmel Marathon this year. Vincent ran the full and Lewis the mini. Vincent, 15, was the youngest in his age group to run. Lewis we’re not sure about but only three 12- to 14-year-old males were in the mini. They both completed the Marathon and accomplished [...]
Dear Editor, I mailed my income tax forms at the indoor mailboxes at the Carmel Post Office on April 14 around noon after purchasing machine stamps at 11:57:07 a.m. The Indiana Dept. of Revenue informed us that our taxes were not postmarked until April 16. Therefore, Indiana would deny us the $222 auto refund credit and would also penalize us [...]
Dear Editor, Last week, while volunteering in my son’s first grade class, I had the unexpected opportunity to participate in a Lockdown Drill. With the PA system announcing “Lockdown! Lockdown! This is a drill. Lockdown!” I watched a classroom of 6 and 7 years olds take their places as the teacher barricaded the door waiting for the signal to rush the [...]
Dear Editor, Referencing your list of politicians without conviction, I note you only listed Republicans. Why not list Bill Clinton and the current occupant of the White House? On second thought, it may be easier to list ones that do have a spine. We used to call them “statesmen.” Glenn Meyer 46033
Dear Editor, It was with a great deal of interest that I read the letter to you in last week’s edition by Becky Feigh. During this past month (spring weather), there have been two times that I have seen bikers and walkers totally ignore the stop sign that is on the Monon. Both times, they moved into the line of traffic [...]
