The Fishers portion of the Nickel Plate Trail will travel from 96th to 146th streets. (Submitted rendering)

news@currentinfishers On Aug. 9, the City of Fishers’ Nickel Plate Trail Master Planning city news Committee announced the Nickel Plate Trail design team. The committee selected NBBJ and Ex2 Partners to create a master plan which will foster a unique experience along the trail, which will follow 96th Street to 146th Street through Fishers.

“Combined, NBBJ and Ex2 Partners bring global experience and local expertise to what promises to be an engaging process for our city and residents,” committee co-

chair Amanda Welu stated.

Ex2 Partners is a strategic consulting firm which will partner with NBBJ, a global architecture and design company.

“Our committee’s vision is to create a destination like no other with the Nickel Plate Trail that harnesses the heritage and entrepreneurial spirit of Fishers,” stated committee co-chair John Weingardt, a Fishers City Council member. “Resident input will be instrumental in developing a robust master plan for the experience of the trail.

People of all ages are excited to give their ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them.”

The planning process will focus on art,

activation spaces and design elements such as different types of intersection crossings. Currently, 116th Street is the only crossing evaluated by the City of Fishers’ engineering team. The team will decide if an at-grade crossing or separated grade crossing is appropriate for each intersection. At 116th Street, the team decided on a separated grade crossing via a tunnel.

Public outreach efforts will begin this fall. When the trail expands into Indianapolis and Noblesville, those cities will participate in the master planning process. For more, contact npt@fishers.in.us.

Former police officer Molter vies for HSE board seat

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinfishers.com

Matthew Molter, a 14-year Fishers resident, has announced his education candidacy for the soonto-be vacated District 2 seat on the Hamilton Southeastern School Board.

The former Carmel police officer said his experience in various areas, including local law enforcement, entrepreneurial start-ups and being a father of young children, will serve him well if elected.

“Education is going through a lot of changes and challenges right now, with technology and school safety,” Molter said, “My background not only being in public safety as a police officer, but also running two start-ups, it helps you think big and bold.”

Molter runs two businesses out of the local workspace Launch Fishers, Agency360 and DogTeamPro. Molter said the base foundation of the school district is already in good shape but could excel further with some minor

Derek Tabada dances during a Kesha concert. (Submitted photos)

from the early days Celebrating her 50th year as the owner of Indianapolis-based Dance Magic Performing Arts, Linda Rees said she has never met someone as unique as Derek Tabada.

“Derek is so talented.

From the moment you see him you just knew he was destined to stay Rees in this business,” she said. “He is one of the best dancers I have had the privilege to work with.”

Rees said Tabada returns occasionally and works with choreographers as they dance. She said her dance studio caters to a variety of styles and that there is something for everyone.

“Our dance center does many different dance styles,” Rees said. “And that is to help take young and aspiring artists and develop their skills so they can go out into the world and be a successful dancer.”

Fishers native Tabada performs alongside celebrities

By Noah Alatza news@currentinfishers.com Fishers native Derek Tabada already has reached for the stars and met some along the way, too.

Tabada, 24, spent most of his teenage years in Fishers before moving to Los Angeles to follow his dream of becoming a professional dancer.

“I first started in gymnastics and moved to cheerleading,” he said. “Cheer is so physical, it’s a sport in that way, and there’s something about the performance side of dancing that I like.”

In 2016, Tabada was featured in live performances of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” He was part of the multimedia dance group, Sila Sveta, which uses special effects lighting choreographed with its dances. The group eventually dissolved but was was a learning experience for Tabada, who had earned his spot with Sila Sveta with a longtime friend.

“We auditioned with a Russian choreographer, and that is very different from L.A. commercial dancing,” he said. “All our real

cover story

interaction with the judges was on stage.

It was nothing too personal about that, but we also got to meet all the other contestants and get to know them.”

Tabada said what the show looks like on television is exactly how it looks on stage.

He said he enjoyed his time on the show but that reality television was not for him.

“I don’t like the producing because everyone is kind of like a pawn in this bigger chess game,” he said.

Tabada has lived in Los Angeles for five years, working as a freelance dancer.

“I have made a lot of connections,” he said. “Taking dance classes and being in the community really allows you to meet people.”

Tabada said he feels on a high whenever he stands next to celebrities.

“I do feel I am a natural performer,” Tabada said. “I feel like the highlight for my existence of being alive is to entertain and share a stage.”

Last month at Noblesville’s Ruoff Home Mortgage Center, Tabada was part of the dance group that performed during a concert featuring pop singer Kesha.

“The stakes are higher. It feels like a

bigger stage,” he said. “I love performing with Kesha because she does something different every night and keeps it very exciting. She’s definitely a commander.”

Tabada’s dance often provides visual support in the background.

“In L.A., it’s a lot of contemporary dancing,” he said. “The real money-maker is music videos on award shows.”

Tabada recently appeared in Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelly’s “It’s Your Move” music video. He was part of singer Lorde’s dance team at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Among other notable work, Tabada has danced alongside Katy Perry at the Grammys.

“Ever since I was little it wasn’t a real choice,” Tabada said. “It was more dancing that encouraged me to be myself. It makes me feel like myself without talking about it.”

Tabada decided to forgo college to pursue dancing as a career.

“I feel passionately about dancing and I know it will carry me into the future for years to come,” he said.

Derek Tabada has appeared on “America’s Got Talent” and has worked with many celebrity artists.

Pardon my diva moment

o b s e r v ation Selfless sacrifice Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Like any college student, Josh Bleill was imagining how his life as an adult might play out ... well, that and no doubt having a bit of fun along the way. All progressed nicely, and college led to a good corporate job. Sometimes, life goes just like it is supposed to go. Still, the attack on the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center had an unsettling and profound effect on the young executive — so much so that within two years the then-27-year-old quit his job and enlisted in the United States Marines. Not long after, he found himself in Fallujah, Iraq.

A vehicle transporting Josh was destroyed by an improvised explosive device.

Days later, he awoke to learn of the fate of his two fellow passengers – both friends and comrades, including Indiana native Sgt. Brock Babb. They did not survive the attack.

The caring medical staff also had the burden to help young Josh come to understand that he’d lost both of his legs as well.

Years later, Josh has distinguished himself as an author and public speaker.

Recently, he addressed an audience assembled for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. The organization helps the kids of Marines “with particular attention given to children whose parent has been killed or wounded in action.” Josh recalled to the audience the deep sacrifice made by so many in service to our nation. Each day, he said, he was reminded that he was blessed.

On Sept. 13 at Pebble Brook Golf Club, the Scholarship Fund holds its annual tournament and fundraiser and online auction. This year’s event honors Brock.

I might have a problem. I got into an argument with one of my sisters over whether her daughter could sing a solo in a family skit I had written. humor Basically, I lost my fashizite because I didn’t want to share the spotlight with a 9-year old!

And it’s not like we were performing on national television! It was for our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party, where the audience would be entirely made up of family and the elderly. Literally, half the crowd wouldn’t even be able to hear what we were saying. But as a closet actress who has limited opportunities to showcase her subpar voice, I live for moments like this one. I wrote the lyrics, I had an artistic vision in mind — and having a cutie-patootie starlet cutting in would completely ruin the magic I’d spent hours working toward.

See what I mean? I was behaving as if I’ve dedicated my life to the theater — as if this musical homage to the five decades since 1968 were all about me, rather than my parents and their amazing marriage.

I had to get myself under control quickly, or not only would there be some unhappy people, but I’d perhaps damage my relationship with my sister.

Luckily, I retracted my head from my rear in time and acquiesced not only to Little Miss Broadway, but all 13 of the grandkids.

The finale piece, my clever rendition of the “Rent” song “Seasons of Love,” became a chorus line of voices both young and middle-aged, far exceeding my expectations.

Lesson learned? Collaboration with others, even 9-year olds, makes everything better.

Peace out.

Time for a change in the 5th District I haven’t met Susan Brooks. She doesn’t hold very many public meetings or discussions with her constituents. In fact, she usually holds what she calls “listening” sessions, which are one-on-one, instead of holding open town hall-style meetings where many people can meet and discuss issues with Brooks. She is not very available to the citizens of the state she represents.

I have met Dee Thornton, however. I met her in her campaign office in Carmel, where she was available to speak to anyone who walked in. We talked about politics and about issues, and I made the decision that she will be the candidate for whom I vote in November.

Susan Brooks votes in line with Trump’s position 98.9 percent of the time. Trump didn’t even get 98 percent of the vote in Indiana, so Brooks’ failure to seek out her own opinions and those of her constituents on issues disturbs me.

I want to vote for a candidate who thinks independently about issues and does not simply follow the party line.

Dee Thornton thinks for herself. She supports raising the minimum wage; she laments the $5 million that have been diverted from Indiana’s public schools to charter schools and opposes vouchers for religious institutions. Thornton supports the Second Amendment but would like to reinstate the ban on assault weapons, ban bump stocks, raise the gun purchase age to 21 and strengthen background checks on those who wish to purchase weapons. She believes that climate change is real and supports national legislation that protects the environment.

I agree with Dee Thornton on these issues, and our current representative has done nothing to support any of these concerns. I know the person for whom I will vote in November - and I will vote. I’m voting for Dee Thornton.

It’s time for a change in the 5th Congressional District. You can find more Dee Thornton information at deethorntonforcongress.com.

Mary Ellen and I were relaxing on our deck, and after swatting a few mosquitoes, I said, “We should look into humor screening in this area.”

“Dick, you’ve been saying that every year for the past 25 years. Not only that, but we are moving next week.”

A few minutes later I mentioned how quickly the summer passes after July 4.

“You say that every year around this time,” she responded.

Suddenly, I realized that after 39 years, I didn’t have a single new thought. Uneasy silence followed. Mary Ellen finally spoke.

“When it gets this hot, I think about cutting my hair shorter.”

“Where have I heard that before?” I asked.

We needed a way to jazz up our conversations. Mary Ellen had an idea.

“An article I read recommended that longtime married couples should pretend they are going on a first date, which might lead to a romantic evening.”

So, on Friday afternoon, I asked Mary Ellen to go out that night. She was annoyed that I waited until the last minute, assuming she didn’t already have other plans. I went

Fishers residents will be able to relax and refresh when a new spa new biz opens Sept. 14 in the Depot in downtown Fishers at 8594 E. 116th St. “The company started in 2005 in Denver,” owner Jo Biggers said. “There are now 37 spas across the country. We are the first one in Indiana.”

The spa will offer traditional massages, facials and body treatments in a relaxing atmosphere.

“We have a changing area with robes and sandals,” Biggers said. “You’ll get a warm

neck wrap. We have separate retreat rooms for men and women. Then, you get to pick your lotion scent and your own music.”

Biggers is a former Fishers resident whose four daughters graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. She is excited to open in the Fishers area.

She feels it’s important for people to take time for self-care.

“We think that people don’t take time for themselves, whether it’s because they’re busy, it’s inconvenient or it’s expensive,” she said. “We feel like we’re bringing a great place to escape for a really affordable price. We’re very excited, and we really think people are really going to like it.”

The Four Freshmen to perform at Federal Hill

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Neil Lantz has been president of The Four Freshmen Society for six years. He and his wife, Sara Lou, have been members of the fan club for more the concert than 20 years.

“I’ve been a fan since my high school days back in the late ’50s,” Lantz said.

Naturally, the Fishers resident can’t wait to see the quartet play so close to home.

The Four Freshmen will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville.

Lantz and his wife will then go see the group play at Columbus North High School.

“We’ve been on a cruise with them,” Lantz said. “We’ve been to a dozen of the conventions and they perform at those.

We consider them good friends. They’re a great bunch of guys.”

The 31st annual Four Freshmen Society Convention is Oct. 18 to 20 in South Bend with the group performing the final two nights. This is the 70th anniversary of the group’s formation.

Brothers Don and Ross Barbour, Columbus, Ind., their cousin Bob Flanigan, Greencastle, and friend Hal Kratzsch, Warsaw, started the group at Butler University in 1948. Their blended style of harmonizing later inspired The Beach Boys, among other groups.

The longest-tenured member of the group is Bob Ferreira, who is starting his 26th year.

Ferreira, 48, sings bass vocal parts and plays the drums. He joined The Four Freshman in 1992.

“The last original member and lead singer, Bob Flanigan, who had been with the group 44 1/2 years, was retiring,” Ferreira said. “When I joined, he and another member of the group was retiring simultaneously.”

Flanigan stayed on as manager and owner of the group until he died in 2011.

“He was the biggest cheerleader and believer that the sound could continue,” Ferreira said.

Ferreira was referred to audition by former Four Freshman member Kirk Marcy,

ATI stages Hawaiian luau fundraiser editorial@youarecurrent.com An End of Summer Hawaiian Luau fundraiser to benefit Actors Theatre of Indiana is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Aug. 29 at Danny Boy Beer Works, 12702 Meeting House Rd., Carmel.

Cost is $50 per person, which includes two free drinks. Music will be provided by Dwight Lightning and the Conch City AllStars, who play hits from the 1960s to today.

Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops are welcome.

For tickets, visit eventbrite.com/e/endof-the-summer-hawaiian-luau-with-actorstheatre-of-indiana-tickets-48902132595.

The next fundraiser for the Carmel-based ATI is the Fall Barn Bash set for Oct. 18.

Carmel-based ATI will open the 2018-19 season with “A Comedy of Tenors” Sept.

7 to 30 at The Studio Theater in Carmel, followed by “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” Nov. 16 to Dec. 14; “Ruthless The Musical” Jan. 25 to Feb. 17 and an updated version of “Forbidden Broadway” April 26 to May 19. For more information about the season, visit atistage.org.

who was Ferreira’s instructor at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, Wash.

“It was surreal to be able to audition for this group,” Ferreira said. “I thought I’d maybe try it for a year or two and if I didn’t like it, I’d go back to school and get my teaching degree. But I ended up just loving it and I still do. It’s not often that people get to do what they truly love to do, so I feel very fortunate.”

Ferreira, who lives in Las Vegas, said the group is usually on the road about half the year.

Ferreira said the group is always performing new arrangements.

“We always stay within the style of the group, and most of the time we keep it to the timeless standards,” he said. “We do songs from the very beginnings in 1948 all

the way up to a month ago when we introduced some new arrangements. There’s always a core repertoire of hits, like ‘Poinciana, ‘It’s a Blue World’ and probably the biggest one, “Graduation Day.’” Ferreira said he loves the hardcore fans, like Lantz.

“We have fans all over the world, several thousand members in this organization,” Ferreria said of the fan club. “They love the sound and celebrate the sound. It’s its own only little community.”

The conventions are great times to catch up, he said “It’s almost like a family reunion,” Ferreria said. “I’ve known half of these people half my life. A lot of these people have become near and dear to me.”

Dark Mule features classics

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Gov’t Mule will turn to the Dark Side when it lands in Noblesville.

Gov’t Mule will be joined by music The Avett Brothers and The Magpie Salute with the concert starting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center in Noblesville. “The Dark Side of the Mule” tour features Gov’t Mule performing some of Pink Floyd’s beloved songs. “‘Dark Side of the Mule’ has been fun because we hire background singers who are the wives of Jorgen Carlsson, the bass player, and Danny Louis,” drummer Matt Abts said. “We hire an extra keyboard player. It’s something Jorgen joined. It’s a big band. We do a theme every Halloween and New Year’s, and one year we did a Pink Floyd theme (in 2008). Someone contacted us and wanted us to do more, so we’ll do some this summer. We got all the lasers and light shows going on. Wow, what an extravaganza.”

Prior to this summer, Gov’t Mule had done just two Dark Side full sets. Gov’t Mule has performed it four times this summer. Noblesville is one of four Dark Side

stops remaining this year.

“It took a lot of rehearsal and prep to get everything working, but we love doing it,” Abts said.

Since there are two other bands, Abts said he expects there will only be time for the Dark Side set.

Abts is one of the band’s remaining original members, along with Warren Haynes, who was a longtime guitarist for the Allman Brothers.

“It’s been a blast for the last 24 years,” Abts said.

5280 Bistro

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 5280 Bistro is a food truck that travels around the area. To find it, visit 5280bistro.com What to get: 5280 PB&J Price: $10 Anna’s take: It sells a wide variety of items, frequents Fishers Farmers Market and also can be seen at many beer festivals across the state. MashCraft Brewing Company, 11069 Allisonville Rd., features offerings from 5280 Bistro not offered on the food truck’s menu.

I ordered one of the restaurant’s more popular items, the 5280 PB&J. The PB&J stands for “pork, bacon and jam.” Three to four slabs of pork loin are layered in a toasted pretzel bun. Thick, peppered bacon blankets the pork, and a homemade fig plum jam is smeared on the top bun. It’s a handful of a sandwich, and its flavor notes are sweet and savory. 5280 Bistro’s signature crispy potato chips, fondly referred to as “crack chips,” and a sprig of cilantro accompany the

The 5280 PB&J stands for pork, bacon and jam. All ingredients are sandwiched between a pretzel bun and accompanied with seasoned potato chips.

sandwich, which is stacked high. The generous portion is well worth the $10.

5280 Bistro’s menu changes frequently, but the 5280 PB&J is one of its staples, and for good reason. Prepare to get your hands messy as you dive in, though.

Suggested pairings: Craft beer.

Chef’s take: Chef Joseph Hsu is from Taiwan. He said the main reason he and his wife began the business in a food truck is because the financial risk is much smaller.

Also, the couple found the food truck is wildly popular at craft beer festivals, where Hsu said 5280 Bistro has found its niche.

“We go outside the box and use things to make the food more interesting,” he said.

“Especially coming from the pairing with beer events, the festivals we do, we want to stand out and look different from everybody else.”
