After eight years at Janus Developmental Services and a career in the nonprofit field, Noblesville resident DebREFLECTION bie Laird will retire May 22 from her position of senior vice president of development. Janus, 1555 Westfield Rd., Noblesville, provides individuals with disabilities opportunies to participate and contribute within the community through day services and programs. The organization serves clients throughout Hamilton County. Laird’s proudest moments include bringing awareness to individuals with disabilities making a positive impact. “Every person has different abilities, and I think part of the thing I’m most proud of is our community realizing that people who have diagnosed disabilities can also do many positive things,” Laird said. “Through the community lunches once a month where people come to Janus to tour the facility, receive an overview of all our programs and services and enjoy a lunch prepared by clients and served by clients – these are clients interested in a catering position or working in a restaurant – and that’s just a firsthand view of somebody with a disability who excels.” Laird also is pleased that Janus has a higher profile in the community.
“One other thing I’m really proud of, too, is just the fact that when I say I work at Janus, people understand what Janus is,” Laird said. “When I first started here, the first question I’d have was, ‘Janus? What does Janus do?’ We have worked very hard to increase name awareness of what Janus is and what we are able to do. “Now, I don’t get that question anymore.” In retirement, Laird plans to travel more with her husband, Mike, who is already retired. She also plans to increase her volunteer work with the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. “I’m a mentor for them and I want to have an increased number of hours there,” she said. “I also want to do more in my church, Northview.” Laird plans to participate more in the foundation she and Mike manage – the Jake Laird Memorial Fund. It was created in 2004 in memory of their son, Jake Laird, who was an Indianapolis Police Dept. officer killed in the line of duty. The foundation provides funds to police and fire departments for new equipment, new instructional programs or financial assistance to those injured in the line of duty. Laird also will continue her hobbies of bicycling, gardening and walking trails. “I think the best part of retirement, or what I can imagine of retirement, is the freedom to just go do whatever when I want to,” she said.
Hamilton County Democratic Women to meet – The Hamilton County Democratic Women group meets the third Saturday of each month at the Delaware Township Government Building, 9090 E. 131st St. The next meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. March 21.

The award recognizes those who have achieved notable success as a NextGeneration Benefits Firm that delivers improved and cost-effective employee benefits to its employer clients.

Graduate profile: Ethan Meier By Desiree Williams news@currentinfishers.com Ethan Meier, 25, graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School in 2015. He will complete a master’s degree in EDUCATION biology at IUPUI in May and then pursue a doctorate of dental medicine at Midwestern University in the fall. Q: What was your favorite subject in high school and why? A: Biology. Growing up, I had always been intrigued by the biological world. I found myself enjoying my general science courses more than my other subjects, but learning about the natural sciences really piqued my interests. Q: What do you miss about high school? A: The personalized education that you can receive in a smaller classroom. After attending a large university like Indiana University, you miss the more direct teaching that you receive in high school rather than sitting in a lecture hall with 300-plus students.
Q: Tell me more about your current role. A: While I am attending IUPUI for my master’s degree, I am currently working at an oral surgery clinic in Anderson. I enjoy balancing my time at school with my time at work. Q: What’s next for you? A: I will be spending the next four years completing the doctorate of dental medicine degree at Midwestern University. I am thrilled to begin this program, as becoming a dentist has been a dream of mine since I was young. Being able to pursue this career choice has been very challenging, but I could not be happier with myself for getting this far. I am looking forward to practicing in the dental field and helping the members of the community.

Q: Who has been your most influential teacher throughout school and why? A: Cathy Glick. Mrs. Glick first introduced me to my first more rigorous biology class, which was AP Biology. She did such a good job of teaching the material and making sure that we all understood the material before moving on. She helped my future interest in the biological field, which continued throughout my collegiate experience. Q: Can you tell me about your collegiate experiences? A: I attended Indiana University for my undergraduate studies. I majored in biology and
minored in chemistry. I joined a fraternity my freshman year and became involved in several different committees within the house. I really enjoyed my experience at Indiana University. I loved everything from the beautiful campus to the enriching education that I received at this school. I believe that being involved with some organization or club is important at a large university. It helps you develop relationships early on while also making the school feel much smaller.

Q: Do you have any advice for younger students? A: The best advice I can give younger students is to learn to effectively balance your free time. Time management is a crucial thing to develop to be successful in your undergraduate studies. There will be a lot of distractions and fun activities to be involved in while in college, and maintaining a good balance can really be beneficial. I found it important to use your free time to do the things that you enjoy doing.

Fishers teen competes for LLS designation By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com A Fishers teen is vying for a prestigious honor – the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Student of the FUNDRAISER Year. Maddie Wirth, a senior at Cathedral High School, was nominated by a previous candidate who asked if she was “up for the challenge.” “I’d always seen the Student of the Year (program) on social media from different kids running in the past,” Wirth said. “I decided to take on this challenge to continue the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s great efforts.” Students of the Year is a philanthropic leadership development program where students use professional skills such as entrepreneurship, marketing and project management to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Students can compete as individuals or as part of a team. The title is awarded to the student or students who raise the most funds during a seven-week period.

Many of the students raise money in honor of a patient who is battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Wirth, who is competing as an individual and as part of a team, wants to raise $50,000. The Student of the Year will be announced March 14. The winner will receive a $2,500 scholarship toward the college or university of his or her choice. For more, visit studentsoftheyear.org/about.

A PLACE TO MAKE By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com
Joel Bruns has noticed the emergence of energy and innovaCOVER STORY tion in Fishers with regard to entrepreneurship and makerspaces, so he organized a panel discussion focused on those topics. Bruns, the innovation specialist at Westfield High School and creator of the school’s makerspace, held a Feb. 11 Maker Town Hall at Hamilton East Public Library, 5 Municipal Dr., Fishers, with several key players. A makerspace is a collaborative work space designed for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high-tech to no-tech tools. Panelists included Aili McGill, executive director of Nickel Plate Arts; John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers; Katelyn Coyne, manager of the Ignite Studio in the Hamilton East Public Library’s Fishers branch; David Decker, founder of Hub and Spoke, a design center, coworking space and makerspace at 106th Street and the future Nickel Plate Trail in Fishers; and Megan Baumgartner, City of Fishers director of economic development. They discussed a wide range of makerspace topics, including defining what a maker is.
McGill noted that most artists worked alone prior to the emergence of makerspaces in Hamilton County. “Because Indiana is not known as a hotbed for the arts, we had tens of dozens of arts professionals working here but working in isolation,” McGill said. “A huge percentage of the creative economy in Indiana are independent contractors, and it became clear once we started investing in resources, everything was going to take off. “It also was clear there’s been a real hunger in igniting the maker community.” Although makerspaces are expanding throughout Hamilton County, such as Ignite Studio in the HEPL basement and the soon-to-open Hub and Spoke, McGill said there’s still work to be done. “There are still so many holes out there of things and resources we need, finding places where people can access tools they can share and use on a production level,” McGill said. “(It) is something we still haven’t quite gotten online in this community.” Coyne said during the 18 months Ignite Studio has been open, artists have significantly benefitted from networking opportunities. “We’ve seen the artists in the community be able to connect to the larger percentage of people who maybe don’t

identify immediately as the creative type,” she said. “They are sharing their process and working with the community to bring in different types of creative processes, exposing people to the idea that they can incorporate the same type of creativity in their work or start to see themselves as makers and creatives. “Once you get out of grade school, you tend to lose that sense of risk-taking and willingness to self-identify as a creative type or as an artist.” Besides artists, the maker movement also benefits communities. “From the city’s perspective, what’s
been really interesting is having these resources has been an economic development strategy,” Baumgartner said. “There are companies having memberships at Launch Fishers or at the Internet of Things Lab that are part of really big corporate structures where they see the value of having key people located in a coworking space or makerspace where they are surrounded by ideas and innovation. “Being able to immerse yourself in something like that only continues to grow the culture here. There is a space here where somebody can pursue their passions.”
CREATING AN ECOSYSTEM During the Feb. 11 Maker Town Hall panel, Launch Fishers founder John Wechsler and Hub and Spoke founder David Decker spoke about the ecosystem, which evolves when a community comes together in a coworking or a makerspace. “Connectedness matters, and it matters in way more ways than we really understand today,” Wechsler said. “It’s something that matters in our community and bringing it together. If we all come at this from the greater-good perspective, I think it can really transform our community.” Decker said there is tremendous value in a makerspace ecosystem, such as what
Hub and Spoke will provide. Hub and Spoke will have a design center, a coworking component and a makerspace. “It’s about helping kids and adults find their purpose and passion later in life,” Decker said. “There’s this opportunity for kids where kids are going to college and either dropping out with debt or graduating and coming out with a degree and saying, ‘You know what? I hate this field.’ How do we help them? “It’s really experience and creating, and it’s expanded from there into this community campus concept.”

ESSAY
LETTER
Show your work
Correctly identify cause, effect
Commentary by Terry Anker Every would-be sixth-grade math prodigy knows the pain. If the answer on our test is accurate, why does the teacher need to see the long-form effort that got us there? Don’t they believe that we just “knew” it? Do they think we are cheating off a nearby student? Many of us have fought the battle. We stand peering over the teacher’s desk demanding credit for our genius. Calmly, they respond that sometimes it is not good enough to simply get the correct answer. We must get there the right way – at the right time – and follow the right steps. We are reminded of our nascent school days when we were expected to “show our work” on the way to our ultimate and definitive response. At the time, it seemed redundant, even silly. Recess was waiting and then lunch after that. Besides, we’d heard that it was tater tot day. If it took too long to finish our test, we’d be at the end of the line and might miss the potato-based delicacy. Besides, a tater tot war would invariably break out and we’d be unarmed. The grapes from the fruit cocktail make a poor strategic substitute. Happily, as we grow older, our lunchroom habits largely improve. And for most of us, we come to understand and accept as apparent that the goal of showing our work was to train a process of critical thinking. We had to fully understand the accepted process before we could innovate from it. Indeed, our accuracy increased as the steps were individually considered, implemented and mastered. But as we review our grown-up selves, do our marriages, careers and other relationships demonstrate that we are showing our work? Do we make it evident that others are valued, considered and accommodated in our lives?

Giving up phoning it in Commentary by Danielle Wilson How are your New Year’s resolutions going? I deliberately did not make any because, historically, by March HUMOR I have failed miserably. Take my 2014 vow to limit my potty mouth: I didn’t even get to Valentine’s Day before I was back to dropping hourly F-bombs, among other swear words. Nope, for me, NYRs are self-created entrapment schemes for failure and self-loathing. Naturally, I avoid them at all costs. Lent, however, is a whole ‘nother ball game. I am the queen of giving up Diet Coke or dark chocolate or cherry Pop-Tarts for the 40 days leading up to Easter. Nothing life-changing (see stupid NYRs above) but always something that hurts a little. This year’s “sacrifice?” Games on my phone. I know, I know. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But I’ve gotten into the habit of coming home from work and ignoring people, pets and associated responsibilities and escaping into the world of online happiness, namely Soduku and Words with
Friends. I would literally waste hours trying to find the maximum scoring word from four vowels, two Ds and an X, or attempting to break seven minutes on an expert-level Soduku puzzle without typing in notes. Top that! And I’d gotten to the point where I actually craved the experience. Like a crack addict with my fix, if someone interrupted me, I’d pretend I didn’t hear. “Mom, you said dinner would be ready 30 minutes ago.” (No response).“Mom!” (Umm, I’m playing on my phone). “Mother!” (Fine, I’ll engage). Then I’d sulk to the kitchen muttering, “You’re 16, go$da**it! Make your own f#$%ing mac-n-cheese!” New Year’s resolutions? Clearly not for me. Peace out.

Editor, Unfortunately, the erroneous thinking about “climate crisis” revealed in James Henderson’s letter to the editor is held by too many people. His incorrect thinking is not so much in the fact that our planet may be experiencing a slight rise in global temperature, but rather that he attributes it to us! Whatever infinitesimal part of this temperature change is due to humankind, China, with its lack of environmental controls on polluting factories, is far and away the worst culprit. But the real reason for climate fluctuations lies in the fact that God has entrusted to us a “live” planet. We have a molten core, active volcanoes, earthquakes, huge forest fires and shifting of tectonic plates that can cause tsunamis. Due to our planet’s tilt and rotation, the sun heats and cools it over and over, century after century. Thousands of years ago, a glacier covered much of North America. What caused it to melt when there was no population here? We need to take care of this planet. It’s the only one we’ve got! But we must correctly identify cause and effect. Gordon B. Rose, Fishers

Shticky interview situations Commentary by Dick Wolfsie This is my 40th year working in television. Seems like just yesterday I had no idea which camera to look into and no clue what I was going to say next. Wait, HUMOR that was yesterday! After conducting almost 5,000 interviews, it’s tough to name my favorites. Several standouts involved some shtick, which is a glorious Yiddish word that connotes comic theatrics, a gimmick or a setup to temporarily fool the audience. Here are two of my wackiest moments: The long and short of it Back in the ’90s, I interviewed a jockey who was racing that night at Hoosier Park in Anderson. The young rider let me question him while he was standing on a chair with the camera only showing him from the waist-up — the premise being that he was the world’s tallest jockey, at about 6-foot-7. He rode the comedy sketch like a pro. “Why did you become a jockey?” I asked him. “I was really bad at basketball,” he confessed, “but I loved horseback riding.” I didn’t reveal the ruse until my last segment on that morning’s news, but the owner of the horse never saw that portion. She also had never met her new jockey. She called the track in a panic, and to this day I don’t know if she found the prank funny. I do know that tall-in-the-saddle was not what she was looking for!

Suite revenge The Sybaris is a rendezvous spot for lovers. Each room in this hotel has a theme, and couples looking for romance can enhance their experience by adding a little fantasy. Dress like it’s the Wild West, or a trip to Jamaica. There are indoor pools and mirrors and waterfalls. You get the picture. When the chain first opened back in the ’90s, I called to arrange an on-camera interview with the manager. I made a request that I never expected him to grant: I asked if we could walk into a room and act like we didn’t notice a couple still in bed (those two people would be friends of mine who agreed to participate in the fun). While we did the interview, there was no hanky-panky going on, of course, but my friends kept peeking out from the covers, feigning curiosity about what we were doing in their room. The next day, viewers approached me and asked if I knew there were people in bed behind me. I told them yes, they were friends of mine, and that they like having an audience. Next week, you’ll get to read about some shenanigans with Soupy Sales and Dick the Bruiser…

Restaurateurs to advise chefs in Fishers news@currentinfishers.com Local restaurateur Neal Brown will advise chefs at Fishers Test Kitchen as they launch their culinary concepts. The three restaurants in the TEST KITCHEN Fishers Test Kitchen are Lil Dumplings, Natural State and Korave Korean BBQ. Neal and his partner Greg Howe have more than 30 years of experience. They plan to coach chefs on creating successful businesses and integrating larger teams into their operations. “Far too often restaurants can languish in the startup phase, so we will be helping these chefs build procedures and systems to standardize how they operate, creating cultures for success,” Brown stated. Mayor Scott Fadness said the city plans to give the new chefs as much support as possible. “Neal and Greg have a demonstrated record of success as restaurateurs, and their expertise and mentorship will be invaluable to the startup culinary scene in Fishers,” Fadness stated.

Mourning morning heel pain? Stabbing, aching, sharp shooting and feeling like a stone bruise. These are some of the terms patients use to describe heel pain, especially on their first few steps out of bed or off the couch at the end of the day. The symptoms usually happen when there are mechanical issues with their feet, or they have added stress in some way. Plantar fasciitis (plantar fash-e-ite-is) is the most common heel pain diagnosis. It is caused by excessive physical stress to the plantar fascia (fasha), a strong, widethick ligament that stretches from the heel to the ball of the foot. Pain is often worse after any amount of rest because the fascia contracts when at rest from a physically demanding activity. When weight is placed on the foot it naturally wants to flatten out, but the tight fascia does not want to stretch out adequately. This leads to over-pulling on the heel bone where it attaches or sometimes the arch, and this is what causes the intense pain. Plantar fasciitis can be caused by one or a combination of the following: • poor foot mechanics
• tight calf muscles • weight gain • prolonged stance or walking • uneven terrain • shoes without support • new exercise routine • excessive bare foot walking Untreated for several months, the inflamed tissue then thickens like scar tissue. Most patients respond very well to conservative treatment with less than 3% requiring surgical intervention. Treatment begins by determining the cause and may include orthotics, cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory medications, MLS Laser Therapy, shoe education, splinting, lifestyle changes and physical therapy. The longer and more intense the symptoms have been present then usually the more aggressive the treatment needs to be.

Fifteen years after its creation, the annual Women of Vision fundraising event is seeing a few changes this year. EVENT On April 29, Riverview Health Foundation will present the annual event at Marriott Hotel at Keystone at the Crossing. Traditionally, the event has been a luncheon, but this year, it will be a dinner. In addition, Megan Wiles, executive director of the foundation, said she hopes more men will be involved. The keynote speaker is Minda Dentler, a wheelchair athlete and polio survivor. “Each year, we look for inspirational speakers,” Wiles said. “Minda was recommended to us and after we did some research, and we thought she had a great message of perseverance, overcoming challenges and the will and determination to accomplish her goals. “We thought her message would resonate with both men and women.” The Women of Vision group was created after Riverview Health opened its women’s pavilion at the Noblesville campus.

HSE seniors take on their biggest roles in ‘Annie’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Austin Henkel hadn’t even seen a version of “Annie” before auditions. On top of that, Henkel MUSICAL hadn’t been in a musical since junior high. Still, Henkel is taking on the challenge of playing billionaire Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks in his largest role. “The best part of portraying Oliver Warbucks Henkel is trying to come across understanding at the right times while still having that abrasive rough edge that he has because he’s not socially aware of what other people are dealing with in the time period (1933 during the Great Depression),” Henkel said. The school production of “Annie” is set for 7 p.m. March 12 to 14. “It’s a lot of fun to get back into musicals after being away from it for so long,” Henkel said. “I enjoy acting but I’m also part of the choirs, so it’s not foreign to me.” A baritone, Henkel said some of the notes are a little high for him. “The directors have allowed me to work on it and get better,” he said. Henkel hadn’t seen the film until watching the 1999 version. “I watched it during the audition process to get a better grasp,” Henkel said. Senior Tori Niemeier plays the title role of Annie, her first lead role at HSE. “I love the music in it, so it’s something I already knew pretty well coming into it,” said Niemeier, who will wear a red wig in what Niemeier is her first lead role. “The best part is meeting new people and getting closer to everyone. “The responsibility is fun, too. I like learning new songs and dancing.” Niemeier’s favorite song is “It’s The HardKnock Life.” “Tomorrow” is fun as well, Niemeier said,

because she gets to sing with the dog. “There are so many different versions of ‘Annie.’ I think everyone will like it,” she said. Senior Izzy Hiott plays Miss Hannigan, who runs the orphanage. “She is such an iconic role,” Hiott said. “It’s been a fun time to portray her in different ways instead of Hiott just some mean lady who just hates children because that couldn’t be farther from myself. I’m very grateful to get to play her.” Hiott has watched Carol Burnett’s portrayal of Miss Hannigan in the 1982 movie. “She’s amazing. I took a lot of inspiration from her,” Hiott said. Hiott has been in every school musical since her freshman year, but this is her first lead role. “I’ve had so much fun and it’s been such an amazing experience,” she said. Hiott plans to major in elementary education and minor in theater education at the

Junior Kamaiah Norris plays Warbucks’ personal assistant, Grace Farrell. “I love how classy Grace is,” Norris said. “I’m more extra about my style. Grace is more classy and elegant. I love how she expresses herNorris self in such a poised way.” Norris said her favorite song is “I Think I’m Gonna Like it Here” because Annie is being introduced to a new environment. Director Ethan Mathias said the school hasn’t presented “Annie” in more than a decade. “With everything going on in the world, having a show about hope and a little girl being optimistic about stuff is refreshing,” Mathias said. “It’s a classic and everyone knows the songs.” Mathias’ wife, Devan, is directing the choreography.

Matt Kraft is making his return to acting in a special way. Kraft, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate and 2013 Purdue graduate, will THEATER appear in a lead role in Civic Theatre’s production of “A Few Good Men” March 13 to 28 at The Tarkington at the Center for Performing Arts in Carmel. “I didn’t figure out I was interested in acting until I was in college,” said Kraft, a Carmel resident who works in Carmel in apartment leasing. “I had some theater credits while working on a film degree and got the acting bug.” Kraft recently moved from California and wanted to get back into acting in plays. Kraft plays Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a lawyer defending the two young Marines who are accused of murdering fellow Marine William Santiago. “At first, it’s me unwillingly taking the case and then me getting drawn in deeper and deeper,” Kraft said. “As I get in over my head, I have to get out of it.” The screenplay for the 1992 movie was

Jonathan Scoble plays Jonathan James Kendrick, one of the Marines involved in ordering Santiago’s punishment that led to his death. “I feel like playing Kendrick is full-throttle the whole time,” Scoble said. “He’s a very powerful character in my mind. Every time I’m up on stage I’m angry. I think there are more pages of character development here than there was on the screen. For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Jan’s Village Pizza
Mediterranean pizza is created with Greek dressing and topped with spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, chicken, bacon and banana peppers. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 108 S. Union St., Westfield What to get: Mediterranean pizza Price: $10.35. Prices vary per size and type of pizza. Anna’s take: I remember growing up in Westfield and going to Jan’s Village Pizza after Westfield High School football games for pizza and soda. A decade later, the little pizzeria is still the same, with red-and-white checked tablecloths and an expansive menu. I am not a big fan of thick crust, so I appreciate the crunchy thin crust of the pizzas. I also am not your typical pepperoni-and-sausage gal. I like a little variety, so the Med-
iterranean pizza was perfect. It has Greek dressing, spinach, feta cheese, chicken, bacon, banana peppers and mozzarella. You can order a personal 8-inch pizza or up to a giant 20-inch pizza. Suggested pairings: Try the wine float ($6.50), with various flavor combos. My favorite is The Crystal Unicorn, with rainbow sherbet and Riesling, but trust me — order the wine float.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept overhaul Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
1. A double-sided ventless fireplace originally separated the kitchen from the living area. The fireplace and wall that encased it were removed. 2. A liner gas fireplace was added to the exterior wall of the living room. It is surrounded by stacked stone and topped with crown molding and a lovely tapered finish to the ceiling. 3. All of the arched doorways on the first floor were squared off for a more modern appeal. 4. The kitchen layout was updated to provide a large peninsula for seating. All new quartz countertops, cabinetry, lighting and flooring completed the transformation.
THE CHALLENGE This 2005 home is in the southeast Indianapolis neighborhood of Greystone. The owners wanted an extensive overhaul of the first floor, including the kitchen, dining area, laundry room, living room and fireplace. The goal was to create a more modern, open concept and improve the flow of the space.

Tracing Rome’s Spanish Steps Commentary by Don Knebel The Spanish Steps constitute the widest stairway in Europe. To find them, you go to Rome and look for a French TRAVEL church. In 1494, Francis of Paola, a Christian hermit, established the monastic Order of Minims and built a monastery atop Pincian Hill in what was then the northeastern corner of Rome. In 1502, King Louis XII of France began building a church next to the monastery that became known as Trinità dei Monti (Trinity of the Hill). In 1647, the Spanish government moved its embassy to the Holy See, considered the oldest embassy in the world, to the base of Pincian Hill. The embassy became known as the Palazzo di Spagna (the Palace of Spain) and the nearby public square became known as Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Square). The square became popular, attracting people from throughout Rome to elaborate events held by the embassy. In 1659, France and Spain signed a treaty ending the Franco-Spanish War. A year later, Stefano Gueffier, a French diplomat, bequeathed 20,000 scudi to connect the Span-
Monti), including between 135 and 138 steps, depending on what is counted, attracted artists, who in turn attracted young women seeking to become models. As a result, the Spanish Steps became a popular place for people from throughout Rome to meet and linger. In 1995, after a major restoration, an ordinance prohibited eating on the Spanish Steps. In 2019, an ordinance made sitting on the steps subject to a $450 fine. Like other Italian laws, these ordinances are not religiously obeyed.

ish Square with the French church. Beginning in 1723, Gueffier’s funds were used to construct a stairway from Piazza di Spagna to the top of Pincian Hill.

Coincidentally, it’s an ironically jagged pill to swallow Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Jump into your DeLorean time machine for a moment and let’s travel back to the year 1996. Tickle Me Elmo is the hot Christmas item people are fightGRAMMAR GUY ing over. Oprah just announced her first Oprah’s Book Club book. Dolly the Sheep just became the first cloned mammal. “ER,” “Seinfeld,” “Friends” and “Home Improvement” are dominating the TV Guide headlines. Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls reign as NBA champions while MTV is still playing music videos. Now that we’re together at the end of the 20th century, let’s talk about “irony” and “coincidence.” I’m sure you know where I’m
going with this. Canadian songwriter Alanis Morissette dropped this little number on us in her album “Jagged Little Pill,” called “Ironic.” The problem is, the song “Ironic” includes several examples of coincidence. “Irony” is a situation where there is a striking contrast between expectation and reality. Think about a vegan who can’t bear to part with her worn-in leather jacket or an IndyCar driver who doesn’t have a driver’s license. Other examples of irony include a barista who doesn’t like coffee or the fact that Dr. James Naismith, who invented basketball, is the only Kansas University basketball coach with a losing record. Isn’t it ironic? “Coincidence” is when two or more things
CITY OF FISHERS BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the City of Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals at 6:00 PM, Wednesday, March 25th, 2020 in the Fishers City Hall building, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana. REQUEST: At that hearing, the public will be invited to offer comments on the following request (“Proposal”): Consideration of a Use Variance from the requirements of the Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance #110380 to allow an indoor automobile sales use. All business to be conducted on the interior. LOCATION: The Proposal is located at 11774 Technology Drive. Generally located north of the Fishers Corner Blvd, South of Technology Lane. Also known as parcel #15-11-31-00-03-001.000. The case file about this project is available for public review in the office of the Department of Planning and Zoning, located on the 2nd floor at Fishers City Hall. The meeting agenda with room location details and case related information will be posted on the City’s website forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting specified above. Written objections filed with the secretary of the Board of Zoning Appeals before the hearing will be considered. If you would like your written comments to be provided to the Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals, you must submit them one (1) week prior to the hearing date noted above. Oral comments will be heard during the public hearing. Department of Planning and Zoning City of Fishers 1 Municipal Drive, Fishers, IN 46038 (317) 595-3120 www.fishers.in.us Public Notice (Des. Nos. 1600881 & 1700723) The City of Fishers is planning to undertake a trail project, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The project is located from 96th Street to Olio Road Trail in Fall Creek Township, Hamilton County, Indiana. Under the preferred alternative, the proposed project would involve the construction of a 14-foot trail with two, 7-foot pedestrian lanes and 2-foot shoulders, resulting in an 18-foot wide trail profile. The proposed project will include pedestrian bridge crossings at Mud Creek, Thorpe Creek, Thor Run, and Fall Creek. Existing trails within the Duke Energy easement will be upgraded to comply with ADA standards. The total length of the project is approximately 4.83 miles. The proposed project will require the acquisition of additional right-of-way, as well the utilization of an existing Duke Power Easement. It is anticipated that approximately 2.50 acres of additional right-of-way will be needed; these acreages do not include those currently incorporated under the Duke Utility Easement. The proposed action does not impact properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), on behalf of the FHWA, has issued a “No Historic Properties Affected” finding for the project due to the fact that no historic properties are present within the Area of Potential Effects (APE). In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act, the views of the public are being sought regarding the effect of the proposed project on the historic elements as per 36 CFR 800.2(d), 800.3(e) and 800.6(a)(4). Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1), the documentation specified in 36 CFR 800. 11(d) is available for inspection in Lochmueller Group, Inc. offices. Additionally, this documentation can be viewed electronically by accessing INDOT’s Section 106 document posting website IN SCOPE at http://erms.indot.in.gov/Section106Documents. This documentation serves as the basis for the “No Historic Properties Affected” finding. The views of the public on this effect finding are being sought. Please reply with any comments to Hannah Blad, 3502 Woodview Trace, Suite 150, Indianapolis, IN 46268, 317.334.6826, hblad@lochgroup.com no later than April 9, 2020.

Here’s the meta-irony: Because “Ironic” doesn’t include any examples of irony, it’s actually incredibly ironic. When you take a song full of coincidences and title it “Ironic,” you’ve got a heaping pile of irony on your hands. For people who have made fun of this song for its non-irony, this realization can be
