The proposed budget will open in 2019 at the corner of 59th Street

and Sunnyside Road, creating 68 new jobs.

The continued development of the city’s Trades District will continue to accommodate diverse industries and job opportunities in 2019.

“Our proposal is balanced and achieves an important milestone in maintaining a general fund operating reserve of at least 20 percent budgeted expenditures,” Fenwick said. “By comparison, the state of Indiana’s operating reserve is 11.3 percent of expenditures. It is extremely important to maintain this operating reserve, as it provides a safety net against unexpected emergencies and shifts in revenue forecasts. It also allows the city to discontinue interim borrowing with tax anticipating notes for cash-flow needs, providing substantial interest-cost savings in the general fund. The city can also now proactively manage its short-term investments, generating interest income, a new revenue source. Additionally, unreserved funds above the 20-percent reserve can be released and used for one-time investments. With this proposal, we are pleased to release nearly $500,000 in unreserved funds for this purpose.”

Fenwick said although finances have been on a major upswing since Collier took office, the city continues to face a significant challenge funding post-employment benefits to retiring employees. Fenwick said the 2019 budget proposal includes funding and ordinances to mitigate those liabilities “We are only beginning to address this challenge, and it will take several more years to build these reserves,” Fenwick said.

A public hearing for the 2019 budget proposal has been set for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 1, and adoption is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17, both at the Lawrence Government Center Public Assembly Room, 9001 E. 59th St., Lawrence.

New morgue opens at Riverview Health

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County opened its new morgue Sept. 10 at Rivercounty view Health in Noblesville. It has 20 beds, including two for homicide victims. The new facility is roughly four times the square footage of the old morgue, which had only two beds.

On average, seven bodies occupied the old morgue at the time. As a result, funeral homes often assisted in storing bodies before the new facility opened.

The new morgue has two rooms – a body cooler and an autopsy suite. There are 18 beds in the cooler. The homicide victim beds are in the autopsy suite. The purpose is to limit the chain of custody to coroner personnel and hospital security staff. The original morgue had a twoperson cooler for homicide victims locked by a key, but the coolers weren’t stored in a separate room.

The new facility cost just above $1 million. Hamilton County Commissioners contributed approximately half of the funding.

Other additions include a separate

viewing area for families to identify the deceased through a window. Stainless steel accents are covered to provide a less cold feel to the process. Previously, families would identify the person in the one-room morgue. The new viewing area will be used as an exam room for the day clinic, when the viewing window will be covered.

“I’ve told my office and the guys that work for me that we are public servants and we want to serve the people in this community with dignity,” county Coroner John Chalfin said. “We want to ensure the family has a softer blow.”

The viewing room will limit situations where family members may smell an unpleasant odor because a wall and window separate the family and the deceased.

“We have patients that are burned or decayed, and you don’t want that to be the last thing family members remember,” Chalfin said.

Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman said the viewing room is sensitive to family members’ emotions.

“It takes into account that it is a very difficult process for the family to identify (a loved one), and (the viewing room) is

very sensitive to that problem,” Altman said.

The viewing room also allows family members of different faiths to observe their traditions.

“There are different customs when it comes to death,” Chalfin said. “We’ve done our best to accommodate those different customs and serve the best of the county.”

A death becomes a coroner’s case if it

is an automobile accident, a suspicious death, an act of violence such as a homicide or a suicide, a drug overdose or an unattended death.

“We speak for the dead and try to smooth over that transition from life to death,” Chalfin said.

The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is expected to handle more than 475 deaths this year.

FISHERS • Florida Road will be closed between Luxhaven Road and Martha Street to allow for the rehabilitation of Bridge 192. The Hamilton County Highway Dept. will work on the project. The road will be closed to all thru traffic and is tentatively scheduled to reopen before Nov. 3.

• 106th Street is closed to through traffic from Eller Road to Allisonville Road and from Allisonville Road to Hague Road for the 106th Street Infrastructure Project.

kicking off october Lawrence, Indiana on Tap to host Lagers in Lawrence Oktoberfest

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A festival kicking off October in the traditional German way will cover story come to Lawrence from 3 to 7 p.m. Sept. 29 at Lawrence’s Civic Plaza, Lagers in Lawrence will be co-hosted by the City of Lawrence and Indiana on Tap, an organization that promotes Indiana breweries.

Justin Knepp, founder of Indiana on Tap, said city officials approached him about creating some sort of festival. He and city officials came up with a craft beer Oktoberfest to celebrate fall.

“I couldn’t find like a true, large-scale craft beer Oktoberfest,” Knepp said.

“There’s a lot of Oktoberfest events around Indy, but none that include a true, craft beer-tasting experience. You’ll see breweries have an Oktoberfest party, but there’s nothing like this.”

Lagers in Lawrence will be the city’s first

large-scale beer festival. A street in Civic Plaza will be blocked to traffic and lined with picnic tables. German-themed food trucks will be on-site, and a DJ will play polka music. The German American Klub will put on a German dance.

“Picnic tables are pretty common in Oktoberfest events,” Knepp said. “People can sit down, drink and hangout. We are encouraging people to get in the spirit and dress up in German attire.”

German Alpine hats will be handed out to the first 200 guests. Activities will include a beer stein-holding contest. Contestants will hold a 33.8-ounce stein glass filled with beer, arm extented straight at shoulder height. Whoever holds the stein the longest wins.

“This is pretty cool because we are actually going to have 15 attendees getting up on stage, and we have these large steins filled up with beer and people have to hold it in front of them, and whoever can hold it up the longest wins,” Knepp said. “We are turning it into a spectator sport.”

The winner will receive a stein trophy and a gift card.

Mayor Steve Collier said he hopes the event will bring people into the city. Lagers in Lawrence is just one of several events event featured in downtown Lawrence to kick off the fall season.

“We have been trying to do more events that will draw people into the city, everything from July 4th to farmers markets to our Christmas tree,” Collier said. “Anything we can do like that to draw people into the city. Fall is particularly a good time. We have the farmers market, we have a jazz fest happening in Fort Harrison the week before (Lagers in Lawrence), and then the Fort Harrison Monumental Half-Marathon is the first weekend of October. It’s a good four-week period where lots of people are coming into the city.”

The event is for ages 21 and older. Fifteen to 20 breweries will participate with more than 100 beers available for sample.

Indiana on Tap founder Justin Knepp said the Lagers in Lawrence event will help highlight the cities charming downtonw, near historic Fort Benjamin Harrison.

“The city originally reached out to us wanting to create an event for Lawrence,” Knepp said. “For me, my interest in Lawrence was a different interpretation. When some people think of Lawrence, they think of the rougher side of Lawrence, but the downtown area of Lawrence is great. It’s very charming.

There’s a ton of growth both residentially and commercially, and they’re doing some amazing things in Lawrence.

When we were first approached by Mayor (Steve) Collier to bring this event, it was to really highlight the downtown area of Lawrence, to show off all the growth and businesses and opportunity down there.”

Determining policy

ESSA Y Trust in trust?

Commentary by Donald Rainwater

Commentary by Terry Anker A thoughtful strategic planning process places high importance on, identifying and agreeing upon some statement of the work’s objective.

Such sentences are often called missions, impact statements or visions.

Of such importance, are these declarations of an organization’s purpose and goals that our own nascent nation pulled together a Committee of Congress on July 4, 1776 to design a seal for the United States. Those good people included the motto E pluibus unum (translated from the Latin – Out of many, one – we are all in this together, so trust in each other).

Although the motto was never adopted independently from the Great Seal, it did unofficially hold in the intervening 175 years from 1782 until 1956 when Congress decided to declare “In God We Trust” as our maxim.

Mostly appearing on U.S. currency, the dictum became more relevant as our nation abandoned the gold standard of underwriting our money, moving instead to a system largely based in trust of the federal government.

Scores of political, academic and financial leaders have debated, and continue to review, the efficacy of the shift. Trust became the central element to our economy.

Even as the crime rate in our state’s largest city hits record levels, local law enforcement routinely laments the reluctance of citizens’ trust in partnering with it to identify perpetrators. But the data reveals that the past several decades have been tough on faith. Still, can a society survive without it? Can trust be extorted or only earned? And even if we trust in God, can we be expected to do the same for Uncle Sam? In a time when our confidence is strained, how do we find our way back to conviction? Is trust enough, or is it the only thing?

Snow place like home Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband Doo is in the midst of planning a short ski vacation to Michigan for our six-pack this January. He is humor super excited about it because he loves skiing and he loves family. Bonus: three of his siblings are joining the party, along with their kids! Shared bathrooms, dangerous physical activity and freezing cold weather! Yeah, count me out.

I’m serious. I told Doo I wasn’t going. I’m not a huge fan of repeatedly hurling myself down frozen mountains in order to justify an evening Jacuzzi and hot toddy. I much prefer the beach, where the wind doesn’t hurt your face and the only potential hazard is a portly man-in-Speedos sighting.

Plus, it’s my birthday that weekend and this little adventure is quite literally at the bottom of the Great Ideas for Celebrating “47” list. As a middle-aged working mom, quiet is my drug of choice. Deciding which Netflix

show to binge-watch is about as much sport as I can handle. And my ideal gift is to be left to my own devices in a space where I can keep an immaculately clean kitchen 24-7.

Three days with in-laws, bruises and the inevitable fatigue-induced bickering, on top of unavoidable hypothermia, is a proven recipe for Cuckoo Land. No. Just no.

So, I am staying put, by myself, in cornfield-flat, moderately less chilly Indiana. Doo is disappointed but understands. We are different people with different needs, and far be it for him to stand in the way of my dream birthday. Besides, Doo gets a dream fulfilled, too, a ski trip with family! Truly winwin, with my win being warmer.

Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEE K Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

-Robert Browning

During the past few years, our state’s government has taken several steps toward increasing its role in opinion controlling the education of our children while significantly diminishing the parental role.

Within the past two years, the Indiana General Assembly has passed legislation to convert the Indiana Supt. of Public Instruction from an elected office, which it had been for more than 100 years, to an appointed office. By doing so, the legislature revoked your right to vote for a duly elected official, implying that the governor is more qualified to determine who makes education policy. Last year, the General Assembly dissolved the duly elected school boards in Gary and Muncie, giving control to government appointees.

Yes, both of those school districts were having financial issues. However, I believe these issues were allowed to grow in severity because parents have been conditioned to defer to government to hold schools accountable. As a society, we have accepted the idea that government dictates education funding and policy.

Duly elected school boards and school district administrations should be determining local education policy, in conjunction with parent-teacher organizations, not federal or state government. For the full column, visit currentinwestfield.com.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIAL:

$20 OFF ANY SERVICE *Must mention ad

My sister just returned from a vacation in Iceland. She learned that the biggest issue men have with women in humor Iceland is not that the ladies are frigid. The men can be a little frosty themselves — but temperature is relative. The person they meet at the pub could actually be a relative.

Not a lot of people summer in Iceland, largely because summer lasts about four hours. As a result, swinging singles often end up together not realizing that some of their ancestors were swinging from the same family tree. Most Icelanders hail from a group of ninth-century Viking settlers whose descendants are still on the island, except those who went to Hollywood to make Capital One commercials.

Wedding planners and family reunion organizers compete for the same guests. Online dating services in Iceland try hard to match people who enjoy spectator sports, hunting and moonlight walks, and have different grandparents.

Recently, software engineers produced an app that features a “bump” function.

Potential lovers tap phones together to

see how closely they are related. If it’s a genetic match, an “incest alarm” sounds.

With 22 hours of sunshine each day from May through August, if you are looking for things that go bump in the night, you have less than two hours to make your move on a potential kissin’ cousin.

One user commented he regretted it wasn’t released earlier: “If I had access to this service last year,” he wrote, “I probably wouldn’t have gone home with a relative.” The operative word is “probably,” because pickins for eligible women are slim in Reykjavik.

One resident, Arnar Freyr Adalsteinsson, says he seldom uses the bumping feature: “I just use common sense. Even if the girl is hot, if her name is Gloria Freyr Adalsteinsson, I am going to be a little wary.”

The application only works for Androids.

I’m no expert on human sexuality, but if you’re an android, it’s probably safe to go home with anybody you want.

Actors return to perform same role in Carmel Community Players’ ‘Forever Plaid’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Forever Plaid” has a forever feel for all four of the actors.

Rich Phipps, Syd Loomis and music Howard Baetzhold performed in the same role together for 10 consecutive years. The fourth actor, Darrin Gowan, is joining the trio for the first time but played his same role in 2003 for another theater.

The Carmel Community Players will present the musical from Sept. 21 to Oct. 7 at The Cat Theatre in Carmel. The three actors performed in the show together at CCP the first time in 2001. They then reprised their roles for nine years at different venues, primarily for fundraisers.

“The groups are modeled around the groups of the ’50s, like The Four Aces, The Four Freshmen and the Four Lads,” said Phipps, a Carmel resident who is the producer and plays Frankie. “The name ‘Forever Plaid’ is a take-off on the Four Lads. We are supposed to be high school students in the ‘50s and we all met in the audio/visual club. We started rehearsing in the basement of Smudge’s family plumbing supplies company. We start performing at school dances, bowling alley functions and weddings. We’re on our way to pick up our new tuxedos for our first big concert at the airport lounge in Pittsburgh. We were side-swiped by a bus of girls that was on its way to see The Beatles on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ in 1964.

We were killed instantly.

“Metaphorically, it was out with the old music and in with the new. Through some holes in the ozone layer and so forth, we are able to come back in 2018 and do the show we never got to do.”

There are 29 songs from the 1950s and ‘60s, including songs from groups like the harmony quartets along with Perry Como and Harry Belafonte.

“We always figure the cast of ‘Forever Plaid’ can be any age as long as they look like they might have all gone to high school together,” Phipps said. “It’s got some bittersweet moments. It’s got a lot

of humor.”

Sandy Baetzhold, Noblesville, serves as the director, musical director and accompanist. Her husband, Baetzhold, plays Smudge.

“I was musical director when we did it in 2001, and after that we kept it together,” she said. “We averaged doing it once or twice for the next nine years. I sure never thought I’d do it again, but I’m happy that I am. This is a perfect venue for the show.”

Loomis, a Cicero resident, performs as Jinx. Darrin Gowan, from Indianapolis, plays Sparky.

“I’m the asthmatic second tenor leader,” Phipps said. “We all have our foibles.

Sparky has a retainer and has a bit of a lisp. Jinx has a nose-bleed problem when he sings his high notes. Smudge is dyslexic and has a stomach problem.”

Gowan said his character is the baritone.

“He thinks he’s the funny one and ladies’ man, although it doesn’t turn out that way,” Gowan said. “It was just what the popular music used to be when you

saw ‘The Perry Como Show’ or “The Andy Williams Show.’ My parents played this music like I play classic rock for my kids.”

Loomis said his character is shy and timid and is Sparky’s stepbrother.

“The high notes are getting higher with age,” Loomis said.

Phipps said they expected a younger crowd to audition for the roles this time, but it didn’t happen.

“I wasn’t going to be in it. I was going to co-direct it with Sandy,” Phipps said.

“After two nights, it became apparent I should audition, and we got some of these other guys. Darrin had already auditioned.”

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Palladium. The group visited the Palladium in March 2016 as part of its 50th anniversary tour.

Ross Holmes, who plays fiddle and mandolin, has played with Mumford & Sons and Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers.

“He’s a fine picker. We’re glad to have him aboard,” Hanna said.

The other new member is Hanna’s son, Jaime.

“He played with a great band called The Mavericks for a while and most recently has been playing with a great country singer, Gary Allen,” Hanna said. “When John McEuen left our band last year, it gave us the opportunity to change things up and we’re just having a blast.”

McEuen left to focus on his solo career.

McEuen joined the band in 1966 when Jackson Browne left after a few months to concentrate on a solo career. The band released its first album in 1967.

Hanna said the new members have energized the band, which also include original member Jimmie Fadden and Bob Carpenter, who has been with NGDB since the late 1970s.

“We are having the best time every night and there is a lot of musical discovery going on,” Hanna said.

After the tour ends in November, Hanna said they plan to get into the studio to create new music.

Oca

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Inside Sun King Spirits taproom and distillery, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: King Roland Price: $10.95 Anna’s take: I ordered the King Roland sandwich. It burst with flavor as soon as I bit into it. It’s a souped-up meatball sandwich, but the bun never got soggy even though I took my time consuming it.

Meatballs nestled at the bottom of a bun are blanketed with roast corned beef top round, onion, mushrooms and red sauce. The entire sandwich is smothered in melty provolone cheese. All ingredients harmonize with the others. The sub would be perfect to enjoy on a cooler day as fall approaches while sitting on Sun King Spirit’s rooftop patio.

Oca is one of four restaurants inside Sun King Spirits, a new taproom and distillery just off the Monon near downtown Carmel.

Sun King Spirits features the emerging concept of food halls, where multiple eateries

with different menus are housed within one establishment. Guests pick their table, and a server takes their drink order. Guests then enter the eatery within the food hall from which they wish to order. Oca is on the first floor. Dishes are sausage-based. It also offers charcuterie boards. Oca is a food-service collaboration between Smoking Goose and Sun King. In the Italian and Spanish languages, oca means goose. Smoking Goose acquires its meats from small, local family farms with naturally raised, antibiotic-free stock that is vegetarian-fed without gestation pens.

Suggested pairings: A pint of Sun King’s Wee Mac, a Scottish ale that pairs well with the warm, rich depth of the King Roland.

Behind bars: Mermaid Water Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1 oz. Captain Morgan rum, 1 oz. blue curacao, 1 oz. melon liqueur, 1.5 oz. pineapple juice, splash coconut rum, splash of lime juice, sprite, orange wedge Directions: Add all ingredients but Sprite and orange wedge in a mixing tin, shake to combine. Pour into a glass, top with Sprite and garnish with an orange wedge.

A toast to objects Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Heated floor in Masada’s bath house. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

Masada’s royal bath house Commentary by Don Knebel Masada, located near the eastern border of Israel, is Israel’s second-most popular tourist destination, each year attracting almost 1 million visitors. For many, the travel most interesting thing to see is an elaborate bath complex built

by Herod the Great.

In 37 B.C., the Roman Senate appointed Herod the King of Judea, a position he held until he died in 4 B.C. Known to Christians for ordering the killing of male babies in Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Jesus, Herod is known to history for his massive building projects, including the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and an artificial harbor on the Mediterranean coast named Caesarea Maritima.

To protect himself and his royal entourage from the constant threat of insurrection, Herod built a number of fortresses around his kingdom, the most famous one at Masada. Atop this isolated and rocky plateau in the Judean desert, then reachable only by a winding narrow path, Herod built two palaces, the northern one a three-tiered structure

more than 100 feet tall offering a spectacular view of the Dead Sea. Near his palaces, Herod constructed a four-room Roman bath. After changing clothes in a room richly decorated with frescoes, royal bathers entered a room where air heated in a furnace was blown beneath a floor supported on posts, heating the entire room and causing bathers to perspire. After entering an adjoining room where they were scrubbed clean and oiled by slaves, bathers entered the final room, where they doused themselves in a pool of cold water.

Masada was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001. Today, Masada’s bath complex has been partially restored and models show how it looked during the time of King Herod. Visitors not wanting to climb the so-called “Snake Path” to the top can ride a cable car.

Let’s face it: Fancy toast is the new cupcake. My friend Melvin is thinking about opening an grammar guy artisan toast bar in SoNoHoBro, the hippest area of town that you haven’t even heard of yet. If he wants to make some dough in this endeavor, Melvin can’t just loaf around all day. And, if you ask me, this seems like as good a time as any to better understand direct and indirect objects.

As an aspiring new business owner, Melvin needs some money. So you might say something like, “Melvin secured a loan from the bank.” In this sentence, “Melvin” is the subject. The subject of a sentence is the noun that is doing or being something. A direct object is a noun that receives the action performed by the subject. What did Melvin secure? A loan.

“Loan” is the direct object.

Suppose Melvin’s toast bar, The Toast Office, is now celebrating its grand opening, and he’s hired his brother Kelvin to be the senior jam spreader. Although Mel thought it would be fitting to attempt the

ceremonial ribbon cutting with a butter knife, it didn’t work out very well. As a result, Kelvin carefully handed the giant scissors to Melvin. In this sentence, “Kelvin” is the subject. “Scissors” is the direct object because it is the noun that receives Kelvin’s action. “Melvin” is the indirect object. An indirect object (Melvin) is the recipient of the direct object (scissors).

A few weeks later, The Toast Office is the white-hot epicenter of SoNoHoBro’s cultural scene. Mel and Kel have modified their toasters to make the springs superpowered, and the customers are encouraged to catch the toast on their plates (think Benihana, but with hot bread). The toaster propels the artisanal toast to the customer. In this sentence, the “toaster” (subject) propels the artisanal “toast” (direct object) to the “customer” (indirect object). I think we’re getting the hang of it now.
