Anker attains new rank
Boy Scout Troop 936 and Mayor Jim Brainard celebrated with Carlton Anker on Feb. 12 as he attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Following a scouting career spanning multiple leadership positions, high-adventure trips and an “ax incident” that sent him to the emergency room, Anker’s Eagle service project was the refurbishment of the oft-overlooked Poplar Ridge Cemetery on Six Points Road in Carmel. He mustered capital and human resources, and led a group of his peers to build and install benches, to replace a drain culvert and to revamp the gravel driveway and parking lot. Anker is the elder son of Terry and Carolyn Anker, and is a Carmel High School sophomore.
Clay student serves as page
Zeba Kokan, a seventh-grader at Clay Middle School, recently served as a page for State Sen. Luke Kenley. She was selected based on a letter she wrote to the page program expressing her interest in and enthusiasm for working as a page for Kenley. “I was indeed lucky to have the opportunity to witness firsthand how our Indiana state legislature works,” she said. “Overall, I found it to be fun and educational, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.”
