Councilors split on apartments, continue proposal to future meeting

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After discussion on the proposed Woods of Britton Phase 2 at the Dec. 16 Fishers City DEVELOPMENT Council meeting, councilors and the petitioner agreed to revisit the proposal at a later date.

Developers of the Woods of Britton Phase 2 proposed a rezone at the southeast quadrant of 141st Street and Ind. 37 to change 5.3 acres to allow for a multi-family development.

If approved, the rezone would allow for the second phase of the Woods of Britton apartment complexes. It would include two new buildings with 128 units, a gym, parking and a private road to connect the new section with the existing apartment complex.

Several councilors were hesitant about approving the plan because of Ind. 37 construction.

“That’s an economic corridor right there,” councilor Todd Zimmerman said. “I might not be opposed to this down the road once (Ind.) 37 is done and sits there and no commercial development comes, but I think it’s shortsighted to stop at apartments right now as the decision before we see this full-length development of 37. I think this is a vital economic corridor for us, and I don’t think this is the right time to do this, so I’ll be opposed.”

The proposed apartments would

be a $17 million development, and petitioner Steve Hardin, a partner with Faegre Baker Daniels, said 25 percent of residents in the existing Woods of Britton apartments are 65 and older. He also noted that if apartments are built on the site instead of a commercial development, they will increase the assessed value and improve traffic flow.

“You can’t add apartments in a restricted access area and say you’re relieving traffic. That can’t happen,” Zimmerman said. “If it wasn’t right on 37, I (would) have no problem with the project concept, but we have one chance of developing the 37 corridor, and I just think it’s a miss this early on before we see what 37 does to just go to apartments.”

Other councilors supported the project. Councilor Brad DeReamer said he thought no retail develop-

ment could build on the lot and succeed because of difficult access to the area. “(The petitioner) is not asking for an abatement or anything else. He hasn’t asked for a dime,” DeReamer said. “Twenty-five percent (of residents) over 65, we don’t cause a lot of traffic. We sit around and play bocce. I really appreciate that because we all know over 20 percent of Fishers is over 65, and that is just going to keep increasing. You probably won’t have any trouble filling that up, probably with seniors over anything else.”

After hearing feedback from councilors, Hardin asked for a continuance to reassess the development and return to the council at a later date. The continuance was unanimously approved.

Utility crews are expected to respond 24/7 when an emergency happens, such as a water main break. (Submitted photo)

Lawrence police officer, utility and street department workers talk holiday hours allow the family party continue until they can return.

“That’s how it has happened in the past. When those things happen, you just let the party carry on and get back as soon as you can,” Salsbery said. “A lot of times, people will wait and push dinner back a little bit. It just depends on when it happens. Sometimes, I’ve been out on a main break, gotten out there where we can have that thing fixed in two hours, but I’ve also been out on them (for) 24 solid hours.”

Unfortunately, Salsbery said se-

vere weather or emergencies sometimes do disrupt employees’ holiday celebrations.

“It’s not pleasant, especially with guys with kids counting on opening presents,” he said. “Generally, family is understanding. They know that’s part of the job. The one thing that’s very helpful when you do have an emergency, especially on the holidays, you know you’re getting that holiday pay, so there’s kind of a compensation there, but it doesn’t help the fact that dad missed a Christmas again.”

HOLIDAY SHIFT EXPECTATIONS Lawrence Police Dept. officers and city utility employees know what’s expected of them upon getting hired.

“Any time we hire somebody onto any of the repair crews or water plant operations, they understand right up front that this job is, you’re on call 24/7,” Utility Supt. Scott Salsbery said. “There are things that break, and they don’t break on a schedule. So, we make very sure people understand right off the bat because it does happen, and it has happened on holidays as well as regular days.

“Needless to say, being willing to take a job where the potential for after-hours emergency re-

sponse is very high takes a special kind of person,” he added. “I am thankful each and every day for the kind of people we have here in our operations who respond when called and take their job and responsibility to maintain water and sewer services to our residents and businesses very seriously.

They are the silent heroes in the city.”

LPD Deputy Chief Gary Woodruff said working on holidays goes with the territory.

“That’s just part of it,” he said.

“We just expect that going in. Holidays will be celebrated, just not necessarily on the day everybody else celebrates it.”

ESSAY

LETTER

What is too much?

Response to Powell

Commentary by Terry Anker

Earlier this month, Bloomberg Businessweek published a story querying if the state of Tennessee’s project to provide “free” college to any citizen who enrolls should be standard operating procedure across the nation. It sounds good.

So, how has it worked? Eligible Tennesseans apply about 80 percent of the time, but only a handful actually progress to enrolling in classes. Of those, nearly 20 percent drop out after one semester. Half quit by the end of three years.

Jobs, family obligations and a panoply of other distractions are cited for the disappointing stats.

The article rightly points out that money is not a magic wand. Socalled “wraparound services” are suggested to prop up the Tennessee Promise. Help finding day care, stable food, appropriate additional financial support and connection to tutoring are among the range of suggested benefits. There is some evidence that these may increase persistence, but no single one is sufficient to stop the bleeding and save the state.

Should more, or less, be expected from students trying to move their way up? Is it possible that our sympathy rather than expectant support reinforces the failure?

Certainly, folks need grit and encouragement from those they trust to overcome the challenges of life’s hardships. When are working, studying, car repairs and family relationships justifiably regarded as overwhelming, and when are they best described as commonly human, and therefore simply routine?

Bring on the holidays!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve finally gotten my holiday groove on, people! I’m just back from a 6 a.m. Meijer run, HUMOR followed by an hour at Kohl’s. With a generous serving of Amazon and a few swigs of merlot, I’m feeling quite good about Christmas. True, I’ve not yet written the annual family missive, nor have I mailed a single card.

But I’m not worried.

“Better late than never” is our family motto!

Now, if only my husband Doo would stop being such a Grinch. He’s been oscillating between “I don’t care if Maddie has dance, I’m vacuuming up this stupid tinsel” and “I can’t possibly get anything done if you keep nagging me about addressing envelopes.” That is why I’m stuffing my face with bourbon-soaked English fruitcake. I need a dense dessert to keep my potty-mouth in check.

I want to tell Doo to quit whining and go to the office if he needs to

work. Seriously, anyone here expecting to be left alone in the peace and quiet just days before Baby Jesus arrives is living in a winter wonderland.

This place is the Island of Misfit Toys, my friends. We have cats vomiting on rugs, cars breaking down, college kids up in my grill, and almost certainly a nasty flu virus lurking. Plus, I only finished teaching yesterday. Momma still has a ton of miracles to perform.

Let the reindeer games commence!

My point is, I need Doo to get on board my Polar Express — for him to take a moment to enjoy this crazy season, and more important, to revel in my spectacular purchasing prowess.

Also, we should probably get on the card thing. Peace out.

I need a dense dessert to keep my potty-mouth in check.

Editor, I try to avoid discussing politics as it is a no-win situation and feelings get hurt, but when something is so misguided, like the letter submitted by Carol Powell, I just felt it had to be pointed out.

You can argue about what Trump has achieved and policies and have a good debate, but when you tell me the man that has used the words ugly, nasty, ignorant, liar, despicable and Pocahontas to describe American men and women and leaders of allied nations, I must call nonsense. You want us to believe that Obama, who never in his eight years uttered one of those words to personally attack an American, let alone a foreign dignitary, was the divider but Trump is restoring America?

A guy who has told more than 13,000 lies and has been forced to return stolen money to Veterans charity has no business restoring anything.

A blast from Christmas past Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The following is one of my favorite holiday columns that I wrote several years ago: HUMOR No one is better at returning presents than my wife; some would say it’s a gift.

The only year I rivaled her was 2009.

Mary Ellen checked out two novels from the library that I wanted to read. She thought it was a waste of money to actually buy the books.

She wrapped them and gave them to me for Christmas. I returned both of them.

I don’t have a gift-giving knack. I am not a very good listener, which explains why three years ago I got my wife an Irish setter for Christmas when what she wanted was an Irish sweater. For a few months prior to our 25th anniversary, she began humming the tune, “I Love Paris in the Springtime.” So, I got her the sheet music. I thought she would get a kick

out of knowing the words. She wasn’t pleased.

This year, for the first time in our marriage, Mary Ellen has chosen to return something before she’s even opened it. It was a Keurig Coffee Maker, the one with the compact individual containers that brew one cup at a time. We have been using a standard Black & Decker coffee maker, but I don’t like to drink liquids from an appliance made by the same people who manufacture my weed whacker.

That’s not the way I want to get my buzz in the morning.

Mary Ellen walked into the room and saw the package under the tree.

“What a beautiful box — so tastefully wrapped,” she said. “I just don’t want what’s inside. I know it’s the thought that counts, but, unfortunately, I know what you were thinking. I’ll take it back today before those return lines get too long.”

“Huh? You don’t even know what it is, Mary Ellen!”

“Yes, I do.”

“I think you’re bluffing. You have no idea what’s inside.”

“Well, let’s see. My guess is that I already have something similar, that it will take up more space on the counter than the current one, and that the little disposable containers it uses are bad for the environment. Oh, and a cup of coffee will taste exactly the same as it does now, but for three times the cost.”

“Wow, you pretty much nailed it.

But other than all that, why don’t you want it?”

Mary Ellen agreed to take back the Keurig after New Year’s, just so I can say she kept one gift for at least a week. Returning a coffee maker any sooner would be grounds for divorce.

These are their favorite things

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Music Director Janna Hymes has no problem picking HOLIDAY her favorite holiday movie, “Holiday Inn” with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.

“I love that movie so much,” Hymes said. “The kids know it, and we watch it every year.

Hymes It’s so funny. The music is incredible.”

As far as favorite musicals, that’s a little harder for the Carmel resident to pin down. She regularly listens to Christmas albums by Doc Severinsen and Michael Bublé.

“I have a compilation CD with people on it like Natalie Cole, Idina Menzel and a lot of pop artists,” Hymes said. “Now with Echo, I can just say, ‘Play holiday music,’ and it plays great music. Last night, I just said, ‘Play holiday jazz.’ We just did our Holiday Pops concert, so I’m up on all that much. I love the holidays and being able to perform in the holidays. When everything kicks in and everyone is in the spirit, there is nothing like it.”

Unlike Hymes, Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell can’t pick just one holiday movie.

The holiday Farrell movies he loves for different reasons are “A Christmas Story,” “Christmas Vacation,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

His favorite Christmas musical is one ATI has presented in previous years, “A Year With Frog and Toad!”

“Some of my best Christmas memories are with that musical,” he said.

Farrell said “A Christmas Story: The Musical” has become a new favorite. Farrell is appearing in Beef & Boards’ production of the musical, which runs through Dec. 31.

“My favorite dish was what I thought my mother invented, the famous green bean casserole with Durkee onions on top,” he said. “I can’t believe I thought my mom invented that dish. Can’t have a holiday meal without it.”

The Westfield resident had several traditions growing up in Georgia.

“My favorite tradition in the past as a child was driving out with my dad

and two brothers to cut down a tree in the woods picking out what we would call our Charlie Brown Christmas tree, one that most likely no one would ever think would be suitable,” Farrell said. “Then baking and decorating gingerbread cookies with my mom and hanging them on the tree for my friends to pick one when they came over to play at my house.”

Farrell said another nice memory growing up was going caroling around his neighborhood and at the Children’s Hospital with friends.

“Always a feel-good way to get in the Christmas spirit,” Farrell said.

“Today, my go-to tradition for trees is at the Carmel United Methodist Church and purchase a live Christmas tree to support their CUMC youth work.”

HERE ARE SOME OTHER HOLIDAY PICKS: Cynthia Collins, Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder, Carmel resident • Favorite holiday movies: “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

• Favorite holiday dish: “My Aunt Joan’s pecan pie, which I make now from her recipe.”

• Favorite Christmas song: Barbra Streisand’s version of “Sleigh Ride.”

Doug Stark, Beef & Boards owner, Zionsville resident • Favorite holiday movie: “We always watch ‘A Christmas Story’ on Christmas Eve. That’s part of a holiday tradition. We have a Christmas Eve pizza so that we don’t have to cook anything.”

• Favorite Christmas song: “White Christmas.”

Greg Sorvig, artistic director for Heartland Film, Carmel resident

• Favorite holiday movies: TV special of 1988’s “Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special.”

Movies are “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Christmas Vacation” and “Elf.” • Favorite Christmas music: From Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Spike Jones and Squirrel Nut Zippers.

• Favorite dish: “Passed-down (family) tradition is making lefse, a Norwegian potato flatbread made on a skillet, later rolled with butter and sugar.”

Nancy Keating, Art on Main co-owner, mosaics artist, Carmel resident • Favorite tradition: “Each Christmas Eve, my husband and I enjoy a quiet and peaceful dinner at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in the Arts & Design District.”

The Fishers Arts Council will present its 2020 exhibit season of art at The Art Gallery at City Hall beginning Jan. 2.

IMS show adds new element

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles and his HOLIDAY staff figured Lights at the Brickyard would be a good way to draw racing fans during the offseason.

“We learned that 50 percent of the people that came through the first year had never even been to the Speedway, which is pretty crazy,” Boles said. “We figured it would be mostly race fans, but it was families looking for something to do in their cars.”

So, Boles said the lights display has become a great way to introduce IMS to people who have never been before.

The holiday lights display, in its fourth year, keeps growing. This year, Lights at the Brickyard has added an out-of-car experience around the IMS Pagoda Plaza.

“We wanted to get the in-car experience down first before we focused on

the out-of-car experience,” Boles said.

“People can park their car and walk around Pagoda Plaza and go up into the Pagoda.”

Boles, a Zionsville resident, said motorists can drive through the 2-mile lights display and then park and walk around. Lights at the Brickyard will remain open until Jan. 5.

Operating hours are 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday. The Pagoda Plaza Village and Pagoda Experience will be available through Dec. 24.

The Killer Grilled Cheese combines Swiss, provolone, Monterey jack, mild cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar cheese with cherrywood smoked bacon. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Bier Brewery North Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 13720 N. Meridian St., Carmel What to get: Killer Grilled Cheese Price: $8.95 Anna’s take: Well, folks, by popular demand, At the Table with Anna has returned. For my first venture back into the dining world, I checked out Bier Brewery North because Patrick Mullen, formerly of Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks in Zionsville, recently partnered with Bier Brewery North to offer a food menu. If it’s your first time visiting, order the Killer Grilled Cheese. It’s a melty, delicious sandwich with Swiss, provolone, Monterey jack, mild cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar topped

with cherrywood smoked bacon. For something a little healthier, try the Crazy Veggie ($8.95), with black bean hummus, chopped olives, cucumber, tomato, carrot and shredded cheese on a baguette. Another popular item is the Verde-braised beef tacos ($11.95). It comes with three soft-shell tacos with sirloin braised overnight in a tomatillo-jalapeno sauce, topped with corn black bean salsa and a barbecue crema. For dessert, order the hummingbird cake, which has pineapple, bananas, cinnamon chips and cream cheese frosting ($4). Or try Love in a Bowl, a double-chocolate fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream ($6).

Suggested pairings: Bier Brewery North was kind enough to let me sample all the beers on the menu (they were all good, and I felt great).

The Citrasense IPA was my favorite.

It’s a good option for those looking to try IPAs because it has a milder finish than most. Get a pint for $5.95, or $4.50 on Wednesday nights.
