Fishers DPW ensures it’s ready for winter

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Winter solstice is just around the corner, potentially bringing with it inclement weather. This might have Fishers residents wonpreparedness dering how prepared their city is. Fortunately Fishers Dept. of Public Works has been preparing its strategy for the season as early as April.

“We start the conversation in April to review how we feel things went with our strategy,” Fishers DPW Director Eric Pethtel said. “We identify what went well, discuss areas we can improve and review any personnel changes in our command staff, etc.

From there, we have monthly meetings throughout the rest of the year implementing what we feel is needed to maintain or improve the level of service to the community.”

Pethtel said that being prepared could never be over emphasized. With unpredictable weather conditions, it’s important the DPW is well equipped to deal with severe climate.

“Understanding that no winter event is the same as the previous winter event, constant planning and conversations with all staff year-round finds us with a high degree of confidence that we are ready for pretty much anything Mother Nature will throw at us,” Pethtel said. “She may get us down, but with our committed staff and the resources Mayor (Scott) Fadness provides us, she won’t keep us down for long.”

Aside from an arsenal of snowplows and determined DPW employees, another resource important for winter weather maintenance is salt. In the brutal winter of 2013 to 2014, a lack of salt left many cities emptying their reserves. Fortunately, the Fishers DPW has recently expanded its salt reserves by building a new barn to house their salt supply.

“When you consider our old barn would only hold 400 to 450 tons, it is critical for safety of the traveling public to make sure you have as much salt on

hand as possible,” Pethtel said. “When you reflect upon the winter of 201314 (at one point) we had 1/8 inch of ice on top of 14 inches of snow, high winds causing drifting and…no salt. That winter was so bad that all of the suppliers had emptied their reserves.

Controlled construction Ind. 37 project proposal emphasizes local supervision

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Drivers in Hamilton Co. who travel from Interstate 69 to Ind. 37 during rush hour might eventually see some relief from the congescover story tion that has plagued the area. On Dec. 10, city officials in Fishers and Noblesville announced a collaborative mission with the state to fix the Ind. 37 corridor, a project estimated to cost $124 million. The proposal aims to convert several intersections into roundabout overpasses between 126th Street through 146th Street similar to Carmel’s Keystone Parkway.

“I think this is the largest infrastructure project that the city has seen and will see for a very long time and on one of the most notoriously congested corridors in Fishers and Hamilton County,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said. “It has divided our community for long enough and it’s time to improve it.”

After conducting a study on Ind. 37, the county and local city governments knew something would eventually have to be done.

“There was study that was initiated by Hamilton County to move forward and explore possible solutions on the corridor. What we found was that several intersections would fail if we did nothing,” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said. “It was one of our top priorities in Hamilton County.”

In order to make it work, the county knew they would need full support from local government.

“To do a project of this magnitude, you have to have partners: Scott (Fadness) of the City of Fishers, John Ditslear of Noblesville and Governor Mike Pence,” Heirbrandt said. “We started with (Pence) and he gave us some direction on where we needed to gather some collaboration.”

What’s most unique about the proposal is the control over the corridor that will be relinquished during construction. If approved, the City of Fishers would literally own the area while under construction.

“We brainstormed a solution that allowed local control so that we can be sensitive to the concerns that will obviously come with construction and disruption, so we’re going to have local control during that critical time of construction, but then when it’s done the road will go back to the State of Indiana so the long-term liability ultimately will go back to the state,” Fadness said.

“That is the big difference between this (project) and other projects that have went on is that local control, and that’s what we fought for because we wanted to protect those businesses along that corridor,” Heirbrandt said. “That was why we took the proactive approach.”

Many business owners along the corridor have expressed concern about the impact the project would have on their business, but Heirbrandt says that understanding the proposal will show the benefit of having local control.

“If I was a business owner, and I didn’t know anything about this project, I would probably be a bit concerned, but when you get to understand the hurdles that we went through to get local control, I think that (people will) have a better appreciation of what this proposal will bring to the citizens of Hamilton County as well as the business owners,” Heirbrandt said.

Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill added the project would also improve safety within the intersections.

“We want to bring safety back to this corridor,” Hill said. “We see, through congestion and the signals and the unexpected traffic, collisions at these intersections so, with great separation, a lot of that goes away with roundabouts and if there are collisions they’re at much lower speeds with much reduced severity.”

The legal document of the proposal will go before the Fishers City Council Dec. 21. If approved, Fishers will make the first move in preparing for construction. The $124 million would be divided with Fishers and Hamilton Co. paying $12 million and the state paying $100 million.

Fadness said if the project moves forward, it will not only help facilitate traffic, but impact the lives of both Ind. 37 commuters and business owners alike.

“I’m hoping that with this project maybe we give each person that makes that commute 25 minutes every morning and 25 minutes at night to be with their family,” Fadness said. “You give someone 45 minutes of their life back everyday; that’s not insignificant, and I think this project does that, but at the same time, mitigating the impact on local businesses, that we’re going to be able to help with.

I’m really excited about the project. I think it’s going to be a big win for Fishers, Hamilton County and Noblesville.”

‘Retiring’ chief not finished yet Fishers Police Chief George Kehl recently announced his retirement from the department. When he did so after 40 distinguished years of public safety service, we saw golf courses, beaches and palm trees in the chief’s future. How wrong we were. Kehl, who apparently is happiest when serving the citizenry, has thrown his hat into the ring as a candidate for Hamilton Co. Council. When he retired, he said he wanted to continue serving locally.

We took that to mean, perhaps, volunteerism and maybe consulting. We had no idea this was on his agenda, but we are not surprised in the least. It’s great to see a man who served his city for so long, literally helping build not only the police department but the city, too, to want to continue on another level of service. It’s a big commitment, and should he succeed, we believe he would give it the energy and enthusiasm the position requires.

Having stated that, we are not endorsing Kehl for council; we’re simply marveling at his ambition and commitment at a time when it would be far simpler to pack up the family roadster and head off to warmer climes.

••• We’re not taking up the cause of Donald Trump (R-Billions) here, but what we believe he was saying when he fired off incendiary comments about closing the United States to Muslims was this: Until this broken nation with broken systems can get its collective broken brain repaired, were are not nearly as secure as the government would have us believe. We should be demanding that our leaders do whatever it takes to achieve that.

Instead, we’re too busy lining up at midnight for doorbusters. It’s just pathetic.

‘Mean Girls’

Commentary by Terry Anker

“Nine out of Ten Dentists Agree” shouts at us from the packaging on one box from the wall of toothpaste choices. If all of these folks agree that this is the VERY best product, why are there so many choices that are lesser? And, if someone asserts that “reasonable people agree” does that mean that if we don’t that we must be the lone one who is unreasonable? The rhetoric of inclusion (or perhaps better said – exclusion) is a highly powerful sales tool. And, it serves well to oppress dissenting points of view.

Which clothes have we upon our backs?

Which lunch table is where we consume our daily calories? Which means of conveyance gets us back and forth to which occupation? All of these are being judged by someone. OK, humans categorize other humans. But what is it in us that urges criticism of those who make choices, benign to us, that are different from our own? When hours of Thanksgiving televised football with my sons was derailed

by Brighthouse, we found ourselves with a big screen, plenty of snacks and no sports.

While killing time for the promised return of the games, we wondered upon the 2004 hit movie “Mean Girls.” Therein a nice girl is ostracized because she challenged the prevailing hierarchy. When she resisted, it got nasty. How dare she think on her own!

In our boredom, I guess, it spawned a conversation about peer pressure – especially of the negative kind – and about our unwillingness to stand up when we believe the assertions of “reasonableness” is grossly overstated! Do nine of 10 dentists agree that we should buy Brand X? Probably not. Yet, a publically asserted and undefended falsehood often becomes the perceived truth. Is it factual? No. Does it matter? Not unless we say so.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K Life can seem either very long or very short, according to how you live it.

– Paulo Coelho

How are your holidays going? Have you lowered your expectations like I advised last week? Additionally, might I humor suggest a few additional guidelines for surviving the last two weeks of 2015?

1. Start pounding the Vitamin C now!

Evil germs are out to get us all, and they can only be avoided with copious amounts of citric acid and booze. Mimosas work well!

2. Provide your spouse with an itemized gift list. Indicate exactly what you want and include a “Please do not buy” section. Trust me on this one, he/she needs to be Waterford clear on the what constitutes the perfect gift card (Target), sweatshirt (Louisville basketball, ladies small, anything black), appliance (Roomba 650 … at Target), and pair of boots (Aerosoles, tan With Pride, size 9.5).

3. Avoid the Castleton/Keystone crazy and just shop online. (I’m even thinking of switching grocery stores because I heard Kroger offers an online ordering/ curbside pickup option.) Target.com, Cardinalswear.com, Zappos.com … Doo? Are you getting this?

4. Less is more when it comes to holiday decorations. If even one house in your neighborhood is rubber-neck worthy, your measly mailbox bow doesn’t stand a chance anyway.

5. Don’t be afraid to lie about prior commitments or “sick” kids. Company party got you anxious? Bow out with a doggy doo-doo accident or a forgotten bassoon concert. (That actually happened, Steve and Brian. Seriously!)

6. New Year’s does not have to be celebrated at twelve-oh-oh. Nine o’clock is midnight somewhere, and with the appropriately coordinated enthusiasm, you can partake in the festivities and be asleep by 10. That may be the introvert in me talking, but one should never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, especially when beginning a whole new year!

You only have to last another 16 days. You can do it! Remember to keep your expectations as far from Norman Rockwell as possible and follow the aforementioned rules.

Peace out!

The gift of Christmas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

MAKES THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

Share the experience GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE

820 E. 116th St., Carmel IN 46032 317.846.3237 • www.danceclassesindianapolis.com

As I look back on my years writing about the holidays in this column, I am reminded of some funny moments humor that have become part of the Wolfsie family lore.

When I grew up, you never told anyone in the family what you were getting them for Christmas. Surprising them was the best part. Of course, you could guess what you were getting, but in my house you had to be very careful.

“Is it a train set, Mom?” “No, Dickie.”

“Is it a set of Lincoln Logs?”

“No, it’s not.”

“Is it a Robbie the Robot?”

“OK, thanks for totally ruining Christmas for me.”

My wife, on the other hand, believes in telling me what she wants. A few years ago, I ordered a gift online for her, but when it finally landed on our doorstep in late December, I had no recollection of what might be in the huge box.

“I remember,” said Mary Ellen. “That’s what I asked you to get me for Christmas.”

“What is it?”

“Do you really want me to tell you? I

thought you liked surprises.”

“Surprises? It’s for you. You can tell me. You already know what it is.”

“I thought somebody should be surprised.”

When I buy Mary Ellen something, I usually miss the mark. She once made me take back, two weeks before Christmas, a Keurig coffee maker that was under the tree, wrapped. She knew what it was – and she didn’t want it. The clerk told me I was the first husband to return a gift before Christmas … still wrapped. That year she was on a money-saving kick, so instead of buying me the three books I wanted, she checked them out of the library. Three weeks later, I returned them. I guess I showed her.

Overall, I don’t have a gift-giving knack. Prior to our 25th anniversary, Mary Ellen began humming “I Love Paris in the Springtime.” I assumed she was dropping a hint, so I got her the sheet music. I thought she would get a kick out of knowing the lyrics.

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer and partner with Ever Film Productions, LLC. She may be reached at aepaws1@comcast.net.

Where’s Amy? goes country with Wynonna Wynonna was ‘sassy, funny and full of fun’ on stage joking around with the audience and her The Big Noise Band members.

(Photos by Amy Pauszek for Current Publishing LLC. Copyright 2015. All Rights Reserved.)

“Where’s Amy?” was blown away after attending the Wynonna Judd and The Big Noise Christmas Holiday Show at the Palladium. The five-time Grammy winner and New York Times bestselling author commanded the stage with her powerful vocals and ‘sassy’ attitude. Fans were moved by her beautiful renditions of Christmas classics and her popular hits using her rich voice. Impressed by the Palladium size and acoustics, she mentioned she would love to come back to record a live show. She joked about her relationships with her famous mother and sister, sharing with the audience that she finally was able to break free and be herself on tour. Wynonna said she loved using her ‘gift of music’ to share with others during hard times and over the holidays. She had many fans in tears with her final song of the evening, “Silent Night.” Wynonna had captured the audience’s hearts as they joined in singing softly the words of “Silent Night.” It was at that moment that I felt blessed and lucky to have shared this special moment with my parents. No matter the faith, the night closed with the true meaning behind the reason for the season. It’s safe to say Wynonna knows how to rock the stage using her gift of music and love to bring fans together.

Bravo.

Taste the stars

Adding in flavors to champagne can turn an average bottle of bubbly into a festive drink. (Stock art)

Add some pizzaz to your champagne this holiday season Commentary by Sophie Pappas

Wynonna fans Kathy and Mike Buland of Noblesville said they loved the concert and thought she had a powerful voice.

Deana Keen and Libby Macomber, of Carmel, enjoyed the concert and thought Wynonna and The Big Noise Band was amazing. They mentioned when she sang “Silent Night” (after her standing ovation) you could hear a pin drop because the audience was so moved by her moving rendition.

Rappers call it champs, others call it bubbly, and your grandmother might refer to it as sparkling wine, but either way you put it, a good bottle of champagne is a staple not only drinks on New Year’s Eve, but also at any sophisticated holiday party.

Dom Perignon said, “Come quickly. I am tasting the stars!” when he first invented champagne, and while a bottle of Dom might not need anything to accompany it besides a charcuterie and cheese tray, here are some fun ways to spiff up any cheap bottle of champs this holiday season.

• Rosemary and pomegranate – Add fresh pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary to each glass of prosecco or champagne for an herby, yet refreshing, drink.

• Berries – Blueberries, raspberries or cranberries can make a glass of champagne look colorful while also adding little bites of fruity flavor. For Christmas morning, cranberries and orange juice make for a more colorful mimosa.

• Champagne floats – Add a scoop of mango or tangerine sorbet to the bottle or a glass of champagne to make a champagne “float.” Best served at the end of a meal, since the sorbet makes this drink feel like dessert!

• Flavored liqueur or simple syrup – Artisanal simple syrups or add-ins such a ginger liqueur or peach Schnapps can add just a little kick of flavor to an average bottle of sparkling wine.

• Mint – Another option to serve with dessert is a glass of champagne with mint leaves and a splash of bourbon. Pairs well with anything chocolate.

Ideal tailgater Christmas gifts

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Martha De Lacey, writing for the “Daily Mail” says that men get bored with shopping in 26 minutes, but women can go two hours before it hits them. Now if we believe this, then there has to be a better way to shop for the tailgater on your list then to just go out to the stores looking for things. There is and here is a simple routine to plan for success.

Start at coleman.com to make your wish list. Start at tailgating equipment, but also look at chairs, grills, canopies and coolers and more. Just invest 26 minutes and you’ll have a list of items that you could see at your tailgate next year.

Enter one of your listed items into your favorite search engine with the item name and manufacturer and the word “sale” or “cheap.”

What you’ll get as a result is usually a bunch of photos of the item you want with prices on them. If these are lower than your list price, find out where they are being sold. Most often it can be a local store that has them on sale.

Then you can just go to that store and buy it at a good price. Don’t forget that this is the season for lower prices on camping gear (it’s on sale) since the season for outdoor activity is NOT winter. Repeat this process time and again until you have satisfied your wish/shopping list.

Here’s another Christmas shopping day treat that can also be packaged as a gift for a party or simple visit to a friend’s home during this season.

bag and break into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces with a kitchen mallet or can from your pantry.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (see below if no double boiler). Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate (add peppermint flavoring at this point if desired). Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle).

If you do not have a double boiler you can use the microwave. Just cut the white chocolate in pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Adjust your microwave to 50 percent strength so you don’t burn the chocolate.

Then heat the chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir it between each 30 second interval.

Repeat this process as needed until the white chocolate is mostly melted.

Even though this dessert isn’t originally from Peru, it is one of the most loved and popular sweets in my country! This Christmas add a unique spin to your holiday menu with this “deliciosicima” crema volteada.

Note: Bain-marie consists of placing a container (baking pan, bowl, etc.) of food in a large, shallow pan of warm water, which surrounds the food with gentle heat.

CREMA VOLTEADA Serves: 8 Ingredients For the caramel: 3/4 cup, generous, granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, 3 drops lemon juice For the custard: 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12 fl oz) can evaporated milk, 4 eggs, 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions For the caramel: In a medium saucepan over mediumlow heat, melt sugar with water and lemon juice until mixture is golden brown (about 8 to 10 minutes), make sure not to let sugar burn. Carefully pour hot caramel into a round baking mold with a hole in the middle turning it so caramel covers both the bottom and sides. Set aside.

For the custard: Preheat oven at 350F.

Peruvian caramel custard is a good ending to any Christmas dinner. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

In a large bowl, lightly whisk eggs until well combined; add condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla bean, mix well until smooth. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the caramel baking mold and bake in a bain-marie for 1 hour. To be sure the cream is cooked insert a knife blade into the cream; if the blade comes out clean, the cream is done.

Remove from oven and let it cool. To serve, run a knife around the cream where it is connected to the mold. Carefully invert mold into a serving platter and jiggle loose so it falls in one piece. Caramel custard can be served at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with strawberries or edible flowers and mint leafs.

You still need your eye exam

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

“I see great! Do I still need an eye exam?”

Alex L., Carmel, IN Alex, What a great queseyecare tion! The short answer is an overwhelming “YES!” There are many things we check in an eye examination and vision is just one.

The most important reason you need your comprehensive eye examination is because most eye diseases have no symptoms until it’s too late. Glaucoma, cataracts, ocular tumors, macular degeneration and many more cause no visual symptoms until they are in their advanced stages.

School screenings and primary care doctor screenings do not replace eye examinations either. Most of these diseases cannot be detected with a screening. Also, there are other visual issues that are not detected by reading a traditional eye chart. Eye alignment, tracking and focusing disorders are critical for learning and are not detected in screenings.

The recommended comprehensive eye examination schedule is as follows: at birth, between 6 and 12 months of age, then at 3 years old, 5 years old and every year after.

Sometimes, depending on what is found in these examinations you may need to be seen more frequently. I have patients who are seen every six months or less, depending on the condition. And many have no visual symptoms with their condition.

I tell patients that we are really good at having our teeth cleaned every six months. We do this to keep our teeth healthy and to catch problems early for better treatment. I remind patients that it is a lot easier to treat eye disease and disorders when caught early. It’s also good to remember that we can eat with false teeth but we cannot see with a fake eye … right?

Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Know your shower head options Commentary by David Decker You may not have considered this a big decision, but deciding on a new shower head can be a complicated and somehome times difficult decision. There are many factors to consider and, based on your priorities, there are a variety of options.

The best traditional showerhead for you can vary based on your needs. For example, athletes who rely on showerheads to recuperate sore muscles should purchase something different than someone who relies on them solely to wake them up in the morning. Be sure the showerhead has a pivot mechanism so you can adjust the spray direction, as well as various spray settings that you can change when needed if you so desire.

One specific type of showerhead, referred to as rain-head showers, are mounted on the ceiling of the shower and are usually 8 to 12 inches in diameter. By being mounted this way, plus with small holes that extinguish consistent, small droplets, they give the effect of being rained on. Some advanced models have various settings from a drenching to a light drizzling rain.

young children, hand showers are made to make the act of cleaning easier. Hand showers are available with a variety of functions and can be used in everything from a standard shower to a fully custom shower.

Body sprays are new to some homeowners and combine the power of a showerhead or hand shower with massaging water jets, usually mounted on the walls of the shower.

They give the homeowner a relaxing, soothing experience that they previously could only get from their masseuse. Some body sprays have more than one jet, allowing for an even more luxurious experience.

Whichever shower choice you make it must fit the lifestyle and needs of your family. Give us a call at 575-9540 if you have further questions about how to upgrade your shower into something you love.

This is one example of a master bath remodel.

(Submitted photo)

Hand showers are another option. Homeowners usually choose these when they want to direct where the shower water goes.

Whether it’s washing the dog or assisting

Copenhagen’s Kastellet (“Citadel”) may be the most beautiful active military base in the world. It is also the site of a unique religious tradition and a great choice for travel an afternoon stroll.

In 1626, Danish King Christian IV began building Kastellet to defend the harbor north of Copenhagen. The fortress took the form of a five-pointed star, surrounded by a moat. Bastions at each point allowed cannons to fire in all directions. To enable defenders to weather a siege, the fortress included 16 windmills for grinding flour and a Baroque style church where troops could pray.

In 1725, King Frederick IV built a prison behind the church, with eye holes in the cell walls so inmates could follow the church proceedings. The most famous prisoner was Johann Friedrich Struensee, a German physician to schizophrenic King Christian VII who became an important governmental reformer in his own right. Following discovery of Struensee’s affair with King Christian’s young queen, he was held in Kastellet’s prison in

1772 until he was beheaded, quartered and displayed in pieces a few blocks away in what is now a lovely park.

Today, Kastellet houses branches of the Danish military, including the intelligence service. Colorful barracks sit amid the grassy ramparts and a lone Danish soldier stands guard at the guard house. Cannons point toward ancient foes. But the entire property is freely open to the public, with concerts held regularly on the manicured grounds and in the church.

On the fourth Friday after Easter, Danes parade atop Kastellet’s ramparts in spring finery celebrating Store Bededag (“Great Prayer Day”), a religious holiday introduced by the Church of Denmark in 1686 to consolidate several minor feast days. Every Oct. 28, the last surviving windmill, erected in 1847, is tested to assure that it remains capable of feeding besieged troops. So far, so good.
