Lawrence council elects new leaders, looks to 2016

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

The Lawrence Common Council — with six new members — met for its first 2016 meeting Jan. 4, electing a new presgovernment ident and vice president, approving a new council attorney and hearing from new mayor Steve Collier as everyone looked forward to a new year in Lawrence.

Joe Williams, a Democrat representing District 4, will serve as the new council Williams president. Williams was nominated by Sherron Freeman (D-District 3) and was elected by a 5-3 vote over former president Tom Shevlot (R-District 5), nominated by Bob Jones (R-At-large).

Williams has been a Lawrence resident for 18 years and retired from the city’s police de-

partment in 2008. He is also a retired master sergeant after more than 27 years of U.S. Army service.

“I want to give thanks to God our heavenly father for this opportunity to serve the people in the City of Lawrence and to my peers who have confidence and trust in me to lead the council,” Williams said.

Lisa Chavis (D-At-large) will serve as vice president of the council. She was nominated by Elizabeth Wheeler (D-District 6) and elected by a 5-3 vote over Shevlot, nominated by Jones.

Jonathan Hughes, a partner Chavis at Bose McKinney & Evans, will be the new council attorney. Hughes has previously worked with the Town of Mooresville, City of Fort Wayne and Madison Co. Council, among other experience. He was nominated for his new role by councilor Tyrell Giles (D-District 1) and approved by a 6-2 vote.

Collier addressed the council for the first time as mayor and welcomed the new councilors to their roles.

“I can remember very clearly about four years ago taking my first seat on the council and probably not realizing at the time until about that very evening what an awesome responsibility that we have here,” Collier said. “I've always believed and will believe until the day I die that the most effective form of government, that which touches us every day, is municipal government.”

The mayor spoke on a number of issues he says he wants his administration and the city to at least begin addressing as soon into his term as possible, including a new no-kill animal shelter in Lawrence, a contractual deal with Indianapolis for storm water projects, a plan to better utilize and revitalize the Sterrett Center, a new ladder and engine for the fire department and better plans for handling ordinance violations to bring revenue into the public safety department.

Fishers council unanimously supports Ind. 37 plan

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Fishers City Council unanimously supported the proposed road transfer and interlocal agreements between the City of development Fishers, the City of Noblesville, Hamilton Co. and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation following a presentation on the plan for Ind. 37 improvements by Mayor Scott Fadness at the Dec. 21 council meeting.

The plan, announced Dec. 10, will see Fishers and Hamilton Fadness Co. each pay $12 million and the state pay $100 million to convert several intersections into roundabout overpasses above Ind. 37 between 126th Street and 146th Street.

“I think one of the attractive parts of this for the governor's office was local participation,” Fadness said. “The City of Fishers and the county and the City of Noblesville are going to participate in this project on a unified front.”

The approved agreements between the entities will see control of the proposed stretch of Ind. 37 given from the state to Fishers during construction.

“We know we have a lot of valuable businesses and a lot of great neighborhoods along this corridor and we understand construction can be a difficult time for anyone,” Fadness said. “Within this document, what is unique and really collaborative is… basically the state of Indiana, the department of transportation and the governor's office is go-

ing to relinquish the road, Ind. 37 from 126th through 146th Street, to the City of Fishers.

“That will occur sometime after we get done with the environmental study right before we bid the project,” Fadness added, saying there will still be a two-year design phase before construction. “That road will become just like any other road in the City of Fishers. We will maintain it, we will manage the timing of the lights, we will be responsible for everything you would normally think of for a city road.”

Ind. 37 will go back under state control after the project is complete, but local control during construction will allow residents and business owners to work directly with local elected officials to solve any issues they may face related to the construction process.

“I don't want anyone to leave here thinking that we're not sensitive to the fact that this is a significant construction project and it could cause pain, will cause pain to the residents and business owners along [Ind.] 37 and that's why we fought so hard for local control, so that they know who to call,” Fadness said.

“They know they can call the mayor, they can call one of the council members here, they can call our local engineering department and we're not going to refer them to the state of Indiana. Were going to say this is our issue, we're going to deal with it … We have the opportunity to mitigate the impact on our residents and our business owners and that was taken very seriously and we're going to be very aggressive about it.”

Fishers’ Wickens named national anthem singer of Indy Fuel

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com For Fishers resident and computer programmer Eric Wickens, singing has always been a passion.

He began in high school choir growing up in Anderson and was involved with the Purdue Glee Club during colperformance lege before a suggestion from a community theater colleague eventually led Wickens to opera training and involvement with the Indianapolis Opera Chorus.

Five years ago, he began lending his voice to the Wickens national anthem in an additional effort to get out there in front of people.

“Over the years off and on I’ve sung for the Indianapolis Ice, the Indians, the Indiana Ice and I had an opportunity to sing for the Pacers a few years ago,” Wickens said. “I saw the Indy Fuel were coming to the coliseum, so I reached out to them and talked about trying to create a relationship with them.”

Wickens sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before approximately 10 games during the team’s inaugural 2014-15 season and in December the Fuel announced he would be the team’s official national anthem singer for the remainder of this season’s games at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

“Eric has quickly become a fan favorite,” Gabe Amick, the Fuel’s director of event presentation, said. “His interpretation of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is moving and has been a great addition to our game day experience for the fans.”

is fairly straightforward, void of extra extended or high notes some pop stars might work in.

“I’ve found from a lot of folks that end up coming up to me afterwards appreciate it being sung traditionally,” he said. “What I’ll do is try to start off with a little quieter tone and then build it up as the song gets toward the end and really build it at the end. People seem to appreciate that.”

Wickens released an album in 2013 titled “Comfort,” a collection of sacred-classical pieces recorded at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.

He’s also the managing director of VOCE, a professional ensemble performing next on March 25 at St. Joan of Arc Church in Indianapolis.

Meet your leaders: Erin Albert As the Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy approaches its 25th anniversary, Current is highlighting local leaders who have helped build and sustain the program, which focuses on strengthening our community by developing informed leaders. In June, another class of engaged citizens will join the 600-plus graduates already working to make a difference.

Erin Albert, HCLA Class of 2013 Hometown: South Bend Lives: Fishers Works: Indianapolis and Fishers Career: Albert is an entrepreneur, author, pharmacist, attorney and associate professor.

She founded and runs two companies (Pharm, LLC and Yuspie, LLC) and works at Butler University’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences as director of Continuing Education and director of the Ribordy Center for Community Practice Pharmacy. Albert also does clinical work as a health outcomes pharmacist at Myers and Stauffer, LC. A co-founder of the Social Media Dames Unconference series, Albert has written several books on pharmacy practice, entrepreneurship, law and regional community

development and contributed to a number of publications nationwide.

Nice to know: Albert is working on a series of Albert children’s books about engaging in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Most valuable lesson learned through HCLA: “Candidly, some of the biggest lessons I learned … were what the county lacks. One group did its project on domestic violence resources available in the county, and I still cannot believe we don’t have a housing facility for victims of domestic violence. I also learned that we have a long way to go when it comes to leadership diversity. We also could use more diversity when it comes to housing.

While we live in an outstanding county, there is always room for improvement. Diversity demonstrates better outcomes and even higher profits in for-profit businesses, so we need to focus on more diversity in our county to (reach) the next level.

Post office problems

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P So much for the big rally Things have been pretty darned good in our communities for most of us since the recession withered away. Still, we’ve believed all along that the market would “correct” itself in the not-too-distant future, although do not look to us for financial advice. Now comes the news that Richard Fisher, the former head of the Fed in Dallas, spilled his guts on CNBC recently. In a follow-up report by zerohedge. com, we learn market volatility and comments about China driving such wasn’t the case. “It is not China. … What The Fed did, and I was part of it, was front-load an enormous rally market rally in order to create a wealth effect ... and an uncomfortable digestive period is likely now.” Simply incredible.

••• We’ve waxed here more than once about how out of touch the youth/young adults of America are. While not ours, this observation of young liberal America seems right on point.

“America’s colleges have always been teeming with Marxist professors and 18-year-olds who don’t know how to do their own laundry, but do know how the world should be run, but they’ve now become havens for the world’s most easily offended people,” according to townhall.com. In 2015, they brought us new terms, including micro-aggression, cultural appropriation and safe spaces, among others.

Commentator Mark Steyn might have had the best response of all: “The shrill, little twerps shrieking, ‘You can’t say that!,’ are a far bigger problem than the stuff they object to.”

••• In observance of Martin Luther King Day on Jan. 18, a Monday, the post office will be closed. As such, Current will be delivered to your mailbox on Jan. 16.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Our fuzzles, our tinglers Commentary by Terry Anker Now, to paraphrase the great Dr. Seuss, that we’ve packed up “our presents, our ribbons, our wrappings, our snoof and our fuzzles, our tinglers and trappings,” we turn ourselves back to the more normal operations. During the dark, cold days of winter, the sparkle and good cheer help raise our spirits. In fact, the spirits help raise our spirits, too. Americans drink more alcoholic beverages from December through March – average blood alcohol content per person increases by nearly 50 percent. But we can take comfort that the long nights and lazy days have passed as the sun rises a bit earlier and stays a tad longer. Likewise, holiday vacations and year-end bonuses have come and most likely gone. We now look to the coming warmer weather to indicate the emergence of spring and a new season.

So for today we pass the time obsessed with political candidates and fleeting primary battles. The partisan parties triangulate and reposition with the emergence of rising

and falling poll numbers. The contenders work furiously in a clumsy ballet of words and half-truths to distinguish themselves from each other and from their expected opponents would they advance to the general election in November.

If framed as mutual warriors working to improve the lives of we many Americans, they are friends. If framed as political antagonists (or worse) of the various idiots and scallywags deemed to be scraping for national attention, then, they are enemies.

Are we served better by a process of conflict or one of cooperation? Is our nation better attended by a high contrast of ideas or explicit attempts at reconciliation? Maybe the shorter days during the darker months aren’t the only reason for raising a frosty beer; we’re just tired of the conflict!

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK The mere fact of being able to call your job your passion is success in my eyes.

– Alicia Vikander

Well, it finally happened. That stressinduced meltdown I knew was lurking behind the twinkle lights, cheese humor plates and vacuumed-up tinsel emerged this morning. Read on, my friends, for a tale of going postal.

The Saturday started off fine. At 10:30 a.m. I dropped my youngest at dance and then drove straight to Kinko’s with my oldest for a passport photo. After waiting in line for-ev-er, we got his picture and headed over to the Carmel post office.

Unfortunately, their passport counter was closed, with no signs indicating hours of operation. So we stood in line. Again.

Seven minutes later, I learn it’s by appointment only, made by phone only. Fine. On the way home, I call the exact same post office in which I’d just been standing. Passports are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Not exactly convenient for people who have jobs. The nice man did suggest I try a different post office, which I did.

As I am pulling in to my driveway, I discover that if we can be in line at the Fishers PO by 12:30 p.m., we can get the application processed today. Woohoo! Back across town we go. We arrive at noon, but soon realize that we are missing a key component: a paper copy of his driver’s license.

There are still three people in front of us, so I dash back to the van and head to another Kinko’s. I make two wrong turns and get stuck behind an accident clean-up, but eventually get the damn copy and return to PO No. 2.

At precisely 12:35 p.m., we are called. We hand over his application, photo, driver’s license and copy, social security card and expired passport, as well as my driver’s license. “Birth certificate?” the lady asks.

Huh? “Ma’am, we need proof of his citizenship.” “But we have his old passport,” I say.

“Doesn’t count. Good day. Next!” And just like that, we are dismissed. No passport, no nothin’. I was in full sob mode even before we exited the building, and I cried the entire way home.

Stupid holidays. And stupid post offices.

Peace out.

Grumpy new man!

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife told me the other day that my New Year’s resolution for 2016 should be to stop being so negative and grouchy. humor But my humor columns are dependent on those very qualities.

I’ve made a career out of people mistaking my crankiness for wittiness.

I once protested to a couple of Girl Scouts that their cookies were too high in fat and that eating Samoas would shoot my lipids through the roof. Their mothers called and thanked me, saying this was a good health lesson for 9-year-olds. They must not have known I bought six boxes.

I complained about my neighbors’ unkempt lawns and their putting garbage out at the curb two days before trash pick-up. I whined about kids making a ruckus shooting hoops in their driveways on Sunday mornings. Instead of being annoyed, they made me president of the homeowners association.

I’m optimistic about 2016. I’ve already put together my top 10 list of stuff that makes me grumpy 1. I don’t want the clerk to keep asking me if I have a Speedy Rewards Card. I don’t.

Young Carmel actor Wray takes on ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitchell Wray likes being busy, but this schedule was hectic for even the 10-year-old Carmel resident. theater Fresh from completing his run as Michael Banks in the Civic Theatre’s production of “Mary Poppins” on Jan. 2, Mitchell began rehearsals for his role as Dill in the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” a few days later. The performances will begin Jan. 29 and run through Feb. 28 on the OneAmerica Mainstage.

“It gets tiring,” Mitchell said. “Sometimes I wish I had a break, but it’s fun.”

It’s Mitchell’s choice to keep busy.

“We kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to do back-to-back shows,” his mother, Chauncie Wray, said.

His mother said her son plans take a break after “To Kill a Mockingbird.” There might be some auditions, but it will be for shows later in the year.

“I also like rock climbing, so I’ll do some of that afterwards,” Mitchell said.

For now, Mitchell is concentrating on what he describes as a challenging role.

“He’s a troublemaker,” Mitchell said of Dill.

“He does a lot of things he shouldn’t be doing. He’s like Scout’s sidekick. They do a lot of trouble-making stuff together. They’re very adventurous. They’re very curious about things.”

Mitchell said there are some similarities between this role and Michael Banks.

“I loved that, just like Dill, Michael is a troublemaker,” Mitchell said. “In the beginning, they are spoiled rotten, and they turn into the

best kids ever.”

Chauncie said he enjoys singing and dancing.

“He never had a dance lesson in his life,” she said.

Mitchell also was thrilled he got to fly on stage.

“That was on top of my bucket list, so check,” said Mitchell, who wore a harness under his jacket and shirt.

His mother said he sings while he is up in the air.

Mitchell appeared in his first movie “Cross-

roads of America,” which is now in post production. He also appeared in a short documentary about the Reynolds Farm Light Display.

Mitchell is joined in the “To Kill a Mockingbird” cast by another Carmel youngster.

Grayson Molin, 13, will play Jem Finch. Grayson began acting when he was 5 years old.

“It’s one of my new favorites,” Grayson said of the play. “I hadn’t read the book before. But when I got asked to do the role, I watched the old movie version of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ and I really liked it.”

Grayson performed as Henry Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol” and Jonas in “The Giver” in IRT productions last season. This season he performed as Ghost of Christmas Past and Peter Cratchit.

“We’re delighted to have Mitchell and Grayson with us in ‘Mockingbird.’ They’ve both played lead roles on IRT stages, so they are old pros,” said Janet Allen, IRT artistic director. “But the opportunity for them to take on the literary classic roles of Dill and Jem in ‘Mockingbird’ will hopefully be as much of a delight for them as it will be for our audiences.”

Carmel couple plans Food Fest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Leslie Swathwood and her husband Jason have long wanted to hold a food show.

“We’ve been producing consumer shows for over 20 years,” Leslie entertainment Swathwood said.

“We’ve produced hundreds of consumer events. We just haven’t done this specific show. It’s something we’ve been researching and planning on it for at least three years.”

The Fantastic Food Fest will be held over 75,000 square feet of indoor space at the Indiana State Fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Jan. 16 and 17. The Swathwoods, who have lived in Carmel since 1998, are the owners of Circle City Expos.

“The food scene in greater Indianapolis has changed a lot,” Leslie said. “We finally feel it’s a place where not only the city in the greater area is ready, but the consumers are ready.

Food is very much in demand... We’re looking for people who have a great appreciation for trying different things. They want to cook at home. They want to entertain. They want to try new restaurants. They’re really looking to expand their knowledge.”

There will be 20 live demonstrations at the show.

Among the guests will be Ted Allen, a 1984 Carmel High School graduate who is the host of Food Network’s “Chopped.”

Hugh Atcheson, a judge on Top Chef, and Loreal Gavin, known as “The Butcher Babe,” will also be in attendance. Gavin, who works at Kincaid’s Meat Market in Indianapolis, has been a contestant on Food Network shows.

Indiana Grown serves as a presenting sponsor. Leslie said there will be more than 100 Indiana Grown members who will have exhibits and booths.

Adding color to your kitchen cabinets

Commentary by David Decker

Colorful cabinets are back in style and one of the most popular design trends. Don’t get us wrong, classic home interior white cabinets are still very popular and something clients frequently request. However, colorful hues in the kitchen are popping up more and more. Bright cabinets can really brighten up the space of your kitchen and can transform otherwise dated cabinetry. Even just a painted island can liven up a space and add a new look to your kitchen.

Black cabinets are a color option that adds a serious look of sophistication. We’ve seen black gain popularity recently, especially in modern homes. These cabinets usually bring a glossy, formal finish to the room and compliment almost any other accent color.

Another popular interior color, gray, is also becoming more common on cabinets. Less traditional than white but also a neutral option, gray still allows for easy decorating and is available in a large variety of shades.

Another color to consider for cabinets is blue. This is a great option when looking to

add a nautical or cottage feeling to your home.

The list of blue hues available is endless and choosing one for the upper cabinets and a different for the lower cabinets can add interest you may not have had before.

Whatever your style, make your selection carefully. Colors especially seem to come in and out of style quickly, which makes it a little difficult to select a timeless look that features a lot of color.
