Good morning, Carmel.

The Carmel Fire Department began the Everyone Deserves Their Morning Sun Movember event Nov.

1st at the roundabout on Range Line Road, Lowes Way and Clay Terrace Boulevard—supporting men’s health, mental health and suicide prevention. Blue flags are placed for every $5 donation to honor survivors and those facing health challenges.

Carmel Christkindlmarkt will open on November 22 and run through December 24 while the city continues a third-party investigation into the board changes that led to multiple resignations—City Councilor Ryan Locke is leading the inquiry into the decisions made after Mayor Sue Finkam removed two board members. New CEO Julia Davis assures visitors that the market will maintain its authentic holiday experience despite the ongoing review.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration said the USDA will delay partial SNAP benefits for November by at least one week for 274,000 households as it recalculates benefits using a revised formula—households needing food assistance are advised to call 211 or visit a local food bank.

Nationwide, first-time home buyers have become older with the typical buyer now being 40 due to high home prices, rising rents and heavy student loan burdens.

Jeff Ostrowski from Bankrate said in central Indiana the median home price was $315,100 and the share of first-time buyers had dropped into the low 20s — trends that make it more challenging to start buying a home.
