City of Fishers officials recently stated they would not pursue a Rails with Trails option after conducting a feasibility study and noting the additional costs.

County hires new 911 communications leader

U.S. 31 interchange planned in northern Hamilton County

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

By Maria Cook news@currentinwestfield.com Hamilton County’s last stoplight along U.S. 31 on the route to Kokomo is expected to disappear within the next roads few years. INDOT has announced plans to reconstruct the intersection of U.S. 31 and 236th Street in northern Hamilton County into an interchange.

Hamilton County Highway Dept. Director Brad Davis said the county shares INDOT’s goal of eliminating stoplights and improving traffic flow on U.S. 31.

“The big goal of INDOT is to create a freeway system on U.S. 31 and to eliminate traffic signals on that roadway,” Davis said.

“We’ve wanted to have an interchange there for quite some time, so we are in favor of it and are providing any input we can to help.”

Davis said the new interchange will serve two main purposes: Improving traffic and making drivers safer.

“One of the major issues is a safety is-

sue. There’s been an awful lot of accidents at that location, so that’s one of the primary goals they’re trying to solve,” he said.

INDOT has not announced a starting date for the project, but construction is expected to begin in 2021 or 2022. Public hearings are expected to take place before the project begins.

Student profile: Holly Williams Holly Williams is a senior at Hamilton Southeastern High School. education Williams, 17, plans to pursue engineering in college but is still mulling school options. A Fishers native, she and her family lived in Temecula, Calif. for eight years before returning to Fishers for her senior year.

Q: What have you been involved in during high school?

A: Well, I just moved (back) to Fishers this (past) summer, so I haven’t gotten too much involved as I would like, but like I said, choir makes me involved and has made the transition that much easier.

Q: Why did you choose to pursue engineering?

A: I mainly want to go into mechanical engineering, but I can always change my mind. That said, I love fixing things and working on cars, so I think this major can accommodate my likes and dislikes.

Parrish leads Royals to first state title

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School junior guard Sydney Parbasketball rish was already drawing national attention.

The 6-foot-2 guard, ranked No. 11 in the 2020 national recruiting class by ESPN, is weighing offers from Tennessee, South Carolina, UCLA, Maryland, Indiana, Iowa and Oregon.

Parrish enhanced her status by scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in leading Hamilton Southeastern to its first state title in girls basketball, topping Lawrence North 55-44 Feb. 23 in the Class 4A state championship game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

“I haven’t seen any better in this state.

She’s that good,” Coach Chris Huppenthal said. “We play the best competition in the state. She doesn’t always put up 30 points, but she puts up a lot of points.”

The Royals finished 27-1, previously beating visiting Lawrence North 56-45 Jan. 15. Their only loss was to Ryle (Ky.) High School.

“This is affirmation of how good our

kids are, how good the program is,” Huppenthal said. “It’s just wonderful for them, wonderful for the community. The support we got throughout the course of the tournament was great.”

The Royals have had several successful seasons, but prior to this year had only reached one semistate. That was in 2006.

“It’s a group of kids that have great character,” said Huppenthal, who has a 249-76 in his 14 seasons as coach. “They’re selfless. They enjoy being together.”

For Parrish, it was a dream come true.

“I couldn’t ask for a better season, a better senior class and a better team,” Parrish said. “We love each other on and off the court.”

Senior Tayah Irvin, who will play for Northern Kentucky next season, said it was a special feeling.

“It’s definitely been great to be able to create history with these girls,” Irvin said.

“We put in hard work from the summer because you can’t just start the week before (the season). You have to build up to it. To be the first team to make it this far is amazing.”

Trailing Lawrence North by three points, the Royals used a 13-0 run to take a 47-37

lead in the fourth quarter. Parrish, who scored 11 in the fourth quarter, was encouraged by her teammates to take over the game.

It was the Wildcats’ (22-7) first appearance in a girls basketball state title game.

Lawrence North lost in the semistate in 2014 and 2015.

Lawrence North’s Maddie Howe, the team’s only senior, was awarded the Mental Attitude Award for Class 4A. Howe, ranked 26th academically out of 679 students in her class, plans to study business analytics at Xavier University.

Students listen as they form a plan to pitch a solution to a business’s problem. (Submitted photos)

Jennifer Wiese, owner of BeeFree Gluten Free, speaks to students on a problem she hopes they can solve.

STUDENT IDEAS The StartEdUP Foundation encourages kids to pitch entrepreneurial solutions to local problems /P10

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At its core, the StartEdUP Foundation places students and cover story business owners into a room and allows innovation to happen. However, the nonprofit plans to expand to inspire kids in a different way.

Noblesville High School teacher Don Wettrick inspired the program when he launched a class for innovation and open-source learning, where students were allowed to work on whatever project they wanted for the duration of class.

When the Indiana Economic Development Commission learned of Wettrick’s innovation, it sought his assistance with one of its programs, Innovate WithIN. The initiative brings high school students in front of a panel of judges to pitch entrepreneurial ideas.

“They have this big competition called Innovate WithIN, and after the winner is done, they need help with, ‘What does a kid do when he gets an oversized check?’” Wettrick said.

Wettrick’s collaboration with WithIN led to him founding the StartEdUP Foundation in February 2018.

Now, Hamilton Southeastern Schools are taking part, too, with the recent creation of an innovations class. Current was unable to obtain a comment from HSE teacher Kelsey Habig, who is teaching the class, despite multiple attempts.

“We do events once a month. We go to local co-working spaces, and our format is we have a soft skill a month presented by a student - five minutes of how you connect with people, how to use LinkedIN,” Wettrick said.

“Then our guest of the night, and our guest of the night is a smaller, deserving nonprofit, they share what they do, what they are, and they also share with us a problem.”

Several of the StartEdUP Foundation’s events have been conducted in Fishers.

Students work together to create a solution for a specific problem. The Fishers YMCA, for example, asked students how to fix the problem of shutting down 116th Street. Students helped provide a solution.

Wettrick said 30 to 70 students typically attend each event. They break into teams of seven to 10 and come up with a three-minute pitch solution in 35 minutes. They then pitch it to the guest.

This month, Wettrick said a cash prize will

be awarded to the winners.

“Starting (this month), we are going to give $500 to the winning team to implement that plan each time,” he said. “The whole point is to create an ecosystem of entrepreneurism. These kids start to know what a good pitch is and start thinking for opportunities.”

Wettrick said he’s not looking to make money with the pitch solutions students create. Rather, he is trying to create student entrepreneurs.

In addition to awarding a $500 pitch award, Wettrick said the foundation is considering launching a program where it listens to a student’s business idea and possibly invests in it.

“They show us their financials. We know the chances of them being successful are pretty good, so we invest in kids who want to scale up,” said Wettrick, adding that $2,500 will be the minimum investment in student projects when the program launches.

The goal, Wettrick said, is for students to return the $2,500 - with no interest - when their business succeeds.

“We want you to be successful and we

want our money back over the course of two years, and then if you’re successful, we ask that you help that next 17-year-old,” Wettrick said.

If a student attends an event with the StartEdUP Foundation, Wettrick said there’s an 85 percent chance that student will attend another event in the future.

getting started Don Wettrick said if a student is interested in either The StartEdUP Foundation, the $500 pitch award or the $2,500 investment program, they should first attend an event.

“The best place to start is go to an event,” he said. “Why apply (for the investment) right now when you can get $500 to start? Then you’re going to be on our radar, so that $2,500 is now $3,000 or more, so if you have a great business idea and want to scale up, go to an event first.”

Do the math

Green New Deal needed for climate

Commentary by Terry Anker Our daily lives are overflowing with data. Yet, in a somewhat alarming development, most of us are more confused than ever. How do we make sense of the competing, incongruent and often intentionally openended assertions in which modern society finds itself steeped? How do those “in-the-know” arrive at their assumptions? How do they use the information to find their assertion of outcome?

The challenge here is that most talking heads foist upon the unsuspecting and willing public equations of “how to fix the world” with too many unknown variables. Every eighth-grade math student will tell you that such cannot be resolved.

First, one must know which elements are required, then conform to a definition for each, and finally determine a specific outcome that we might hope to reach if we solve the equation.

For others to understand our thinking, one must begin from a place that assumes the position of the listener, not the speaker. If the listener does not have enough information, wouldn’t it require that the speaker include it in the originating message? One should identify all the variables and then, in time, solve each before turning in the assignment.

Understandably, some don’t want to do the homework. They push the problem-solving responsibility off to the reader. Open-ended equations invite further interrogatory and leave too much to assumption. If we were to review our messages in advance of sending them from the perspective of the reader, how much could we improve our communication?

And, if we spent a bit more time on designing the equation before attempting to solve it, would we get to better outcomes?

Sweet dreams aren’t made of this Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know what is going on inside my head lately. I had a dream last night that went from my grappling with humor a personal case of head lice while babysitting a couple of pre-teen strangers to me at a parade where deceased friends and family were stopping to say hello.

I didn’t awake until the zombie horde forced a semi off a bridge next to where I was standing. I asked my husband Doo what he thought these visions meant, and he responded with a short monologue of Sigmund Freud emphatically telling him to “Get out. NOW.” Hilarious.

Doo also reminded me that I had left a bathroom drawer open, wide enough so that when he stumbled in this morning, he clocked his left thigh so hard he now has a noticeable bruise. I vaguely recall rummaging for Advil around 4 a.m. while peering through a window to determine if a tornado

was afoot. I guess the screaming wind and the dead-people visits distracted me from closing up shop, so to speak.

All this is to say that clearly I have too much on my plate, at least subconsciously.

As I type, I am mentally listing today’s “chores” along with work and family “stuff” that needs to be addressed in the near future. But what’s a mom to do? Ignore parenting, wife-ing, teaching, cleaning, managing, shopping, disciplining, exercising, planning, living altogether?

I’m certain the spicy food and the devil/ vampire shows aren’t helping, but in my defense, have you watched “Lucifer” yet?

Terrible, but oddly alluring. So, I’ll just have to deal with the crazy dreams and hope life settles soon. Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.”

– St. Catherine of Siena

Editor, I’m a senior, age 71. I probably won’t be around when the worst effects of climate change take effect but my children and especially my three grandchildren will be.

However, climate change is happening here and now - and for them, I’m terrified.

The latest climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN) says we have approximately 12 years to transform our economy to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millennia. As a retired scientist myself, this is not some BS dreamed up by wildeyed liberals and elitists. We need a massive mobilization of every sector of society on par with what science and justice demand.

A Green New Deal will keep Americans safe from climate change and create millions of green jobs. Indiana is already a leader in green job creation in the Midwest. We can take our expertise and ingenuity and put it to great work for the planet. Other nations, including China and India, are rapidly moving in this direction. We must, too. The Green New Deal is a common-sense policy that is already popular with the American people, regardless of political party.

Steve Simon, Ph.D., Westfield

A different word for everything Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I are going to South America this fall and we decided we both should learn a little Spanish. I ordered humor some language CDs but was having serious problems memorizing the vocabulary, so I got a stack of sticky notes and labeled everything in the house, like the chair (la silla), the table (la mesa), the door (la puerta) and the mirror (el espejo).

In Spanish, nouns are identified as masculine or feminine. This confounded me in high school and accounted for my low grades. The teacher said I had some gender confusion, which was the last thing I needed to hear right before I asked Darla to the senior prom.

When Mary Ellen got home and saw the notes, she wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t as ticked off as our cat (el gato) Angel, who kept walking in circles because of the sticky note on her tail. Angel also was unhappy to learn that “el gato” is a masculine noun. I tried to explain to her that there wasn’t a neuter pronoun, but that brought back a lot of bad memories for her.

At breakfast, Mary Ellen and I compete

to see who is making the most progress, but we are using different learning aids, like when we took dancing lessons and we each had our own teacher. We were dynamite with our own instructors, but dreadful together.

I realized Mary Ellen was only memorizing expressions that had practical value for her on the trip, like, “Ricardo, quiero ir a una tienda con ropa exclusiva.” I later found out this meant: “I want to go shopping at an exclusive clothing store.”

My only retort was using words I learned the previous night: Mi elefante tiene dos hermanas (My elephant has two sisters).

I think my wife will be able to employ her language skills better than I will.

Mary Ellen and I have been having a lot of fun learning a new language. However, we do have one concern. In a happy marriage like ours, the phrase, “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” should not be uttered in every conversation.

Artist fired up for Ignite residency

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi is an accomplished painter and art instructor who has studied under makerspace some of the nation’s most renowned artists. Yet, she didn’t take up painting until after the birth of her first daughter.

That was 25 years ago, and her life hasn’t been the same since.

“My mother was taking art lessons at the time and had an easel set up in her basement in Cincinnati,” Pomeroy Parssi said. “We were visiting, and she could see that being a new mom was a bit stressful for me, so she told me to go downstairs and try my hand at painting. I had never picked up a brush in my life but spent the entire night painting. I was hooked.

“Shortly thereafter, I left the corporate world to pursue art full time.”

An Ohio native who moved to Fishers in March 2018, Pomeroy Parssi is the Ignite Studio Maker-in-Residence for March through June. The studio is at the HSE Library in Fishers, 5 Municipal Dr. Although painting is her specialty, Pomeroy Parssi is a multi-medium artist with an extensive teaching background.

“The Ignite Studio residency will allow me to do what I love best, share my passion for art with others,” she said. “I have been teaching after-school art for students in grades K through 12 for the past 14 years, so this is a natural fit for me.

“I also love the space. It is an incredible asset for the community, and I hope more people learn about its existence.”

Open to kids and adults, the Ignite Studio maker program is a slate of planned monthly artwork activities directed by the Maker-in-Residence. All events are free, and all supplies are provided.

Pomeroy Parssi’s residency officially begins March 9, starting with a “Meet and Greet and Make Your Own Mandala” from 2 to 4 p.m. A complete event calendar can be found at https://bit.ly2Xa9lbv. Some activities require registration and have limited class sizes.

“It’s not often that an opportunity like this presents itself, and I am extremely grateful that Ignite selected me to be

their Maker-in-Residence,” said Pomeroy Parssi, whose credentials include studying with noted artists Graham Nickson, dean of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, and Miraslav Antic, instructor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Morever, Pomeroy Parssi - who has lived in Michigan, Chicago and, most recently, Florida - established the Global Arts and Painting & Drawing programs for young artists at the Arts Academy Summer Arts Camp in Interlochen, Mich., where she was a faculty member for five summers.

Pomeroy Parssi looks forward to imparting her knowledge during her Ignite Studio residency.

“My teaching method includes helping students understand and appreciate the origins of various types of art so they feel a connection to the project they are working on at any given time,” Pomeroy Parssi said. “I don’t simply show students how to create art. I teach them the proper methods and help them develop a sense of ownership in each piece of work they complete.”

HSE presents ‘Mamma Mia!’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As soon as co-directors Ethan Mathias and Mary Armstrong learned “Mamma Mia!” was available for licensing musical for schools and amateur theater groups in 2018, they were eager to secure it for Hamilton Southeastern High School students to perform.

“We had all enjoyed seeing the professional production and tour and knew that it would be a great fit for our program when the rights were finally released,” Mathias said.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. March 7, 8 and 9 in the school’s Leonard Auditorium.

Ava Gerber plays Donna, the mother of Sophie who is getting married in Greece. Sophie invited three men from her mother’s past in hopes of finding her real father.

“I’ve always loved the movie and I’ve seen the show live and I was really excited when they announced we were going to be doing it,” Gerber said.

Gerber said she really only knew the ABBA songs that are in “Mamma Mia.” Sophomore Annie Cushman plays Sophie.

“I’ve seen the movies many, many times,”

Ava Gerber, left, and Annie Cushman appear in Hamilton Southeastern High School’s production of “Mamma Mia” (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

Cushman said. “I really like the songs ‘Name of the Game’ that I sing with the dad, and ‘Under Attack’ is my nightmare scene. That was a little more challenging.

It’s really fun to sing. ABBA songs are upbeat. You can’t help smile when you sing them.”

The students playing the men in Donna’s past are: Matt Iacobucci as Sam Carmichael; Tadd Nyland as Bill Austin; and Sam Jones as Harry Bright.

Mathias’ wife, Devan, and Elizabeth Pike are helping with choreography. Zak Tschiniak leads the pit orchestra.

Charleston’s

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14636 Greyhound Plaza, Westfield What to get: Cheeseburger Price: $13 Anna’s take: Growing up, my family always loved to visit Charleston’s for a special occasion, dressing business casual instead of just casual and ordering something we wouldn’t typically order. It was a treat, and I always ordered the chicken piccata. What I’ve come to realize in my adult life is Charleston’s, especially the bar area,

CARMEL 14490 CLAY TERRACE BLVD $5 COVER BEFORE NOON OPEN AT 10AM | TENT PARTY

I chose the shoestring fries as my side for Charleston’s classic cheeseburger. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

is a great place to hang out with friends or frequent by yourself. The low-lit bar creates an atmosphere of comfort, which many bars don’t have. The bartenders really make an effort to get to know you, and the gentleman who served me didn’t forget my name during my stay. Kind of ironic, then, that I’ve forgotten his.

To fit my more casual setting, I ordered the cheeseburger. I suggest shoestring fries as your side.

Suggested pairings: The Whiskey Twist is a cocktail of Jameson Irish Whiskey, sweet and sour mix and fresh blackberries.

It’s refreshing, light and pairs great with the burger.

Behind bars: Mrs. Collins Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.25 oz. Hanger Rose Vodka, .75 oz. St. Elder, .5 oz. Ruby Red, .5 oz. lemon juice, Prosecco Directions: Combine all ingredients except prosecco into a shaker tin, add ice, shake and strain over fresh ice in a highball glass. Top with Prosecco, stir and garnish with a lemon.

Here’s my point Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Orange oil for mood — Need a mood or energy boost?

Sniff an orange. Studies have shown that orange essential oil helps boost mood and alertness and can reduce anxiety. If you don’t keep the fresh fruit on hand, buy some bottled oil and dab a drop on each wrist or massage into your temples for the same effect.

Dishwasher boost — Add two tablespoons of baking soda to the usual amount of dishwashing liquid you use.

It will give your detergent a powerful boost and easily clean greasy dishes.
