Ludwina Glenck hoodia

The hoodia cactus (actually hoodia succulent) has been used by the Sans Bushmen of the Kalahari for centuries. In addition to being an appetite suppressant the Bushmen also believe the hoodia cactus to be a cure for among other things: stomach cramps, hemorrhoids, diabetes and high blood pressure. While this is most likely not the case, in fact it is hard to imagine that centuries ago they could even unde

Scott Henderson Board Admits Communication Failures; Passes Cherry Tree Complex 4-1 Anyway

Despite recognizing Cherry Tree Elementary School families and the neighbors were not given adequate input and involvement, the Carmel-Clay School Board passed the proposed Cherry Tree softball complex with a vote of 4-1. The lone dissenter, Greg Philips, cited the school administration's failure to respond to his request that they provide a detailed analysis of alternative sites suggested by the public as the basis of his opposition. Assistant Superintendent Roger McMichael presented an adjust… Continue

Candy Jones Softball complex

To everyone concerned about the proposed softball complex...I am a parent of a Varsity softball player and Carmel Sting Travel player and yes, we are frustrated.

Scott Henderson Analysis of the April 15 Special Session

After 2 1/2 hours and many different perspectives from the packed room, the April 15 Carmel-Clay School Board special session came to a close. Here's what came to light: The softball families have years of broken promises and a large accumulation of frustration. The school administration promised them last spring that they would break ground on a new complex at Prairie Trace. When those plans changed and the revised proposal for Cherry Tree was tabled on March 28, their frustrations went past t… Continue

Scott Henderson The Three Best Long-Term Solutions

For the past three weeks, a small group of Carmel citizens have taken it upon themselves to craft the best long-term solution for the high school softball complex.

Here is a list of the research we performed: - Comprehensive title searches for all land belonging to the Carmel-Clay School Corporati… Continue

Scott Henderson Revised Proposal Unacceptable

The further we dig, the clearer it becomes - the school administration hasn't done its homework and is headed down the wrong path with the revised proposal for the high school softball complex. Faced with a clear need to provide better facilities for our community's young female athletes, administrators have taken a myopic, band-aid approach to trying to fix the problem. The revised proposal presented at the March 24 school board meeting fell well short of its promised mark of a satisfactory co… Continue

Scott Henderson On to Round Two

Thanks to everyone who attended the March 24 school board meeting, especially those who spoke publicly (despite the discomfort of public speaking).

This public hearing is our most important opportunity to shape this conversation. Parents and families living in the Cherry Tree and Prairie Trace elementary schools have the greatest interes… Continue
