The Humane Society for Hamilton County’s new state-of-the-art facility is now open Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The Steven J. Cage Foundation Animal Wellness Center, the new home for the Humane Society for Hamilton GROWTH County at 10501 Hague Rd., is so new that on April 5 it did not yet appear on Google Maps. The facility appeared as a dirt-brown blotch on the satellite picture. But that will soon change.

The HSHC has moved from a 7,000-squarefoot facility into a 40,000-square-foot stateof-the-art building that Humane Society for Hamilton County President and CEO, Rebecca Stevens calls one of the top three in the nation — and possibly the best.

One of the new amenities is a kitchen, which features a restaurant-grade dishwasher. Before, volunteers had to wash all the dishes by hand. It also has state-ofthe-art ventilation systems in each of the feline kennels that keep the air circulating to reduce the risk of the spread of disease, along with three washers and three dryers that tremendously enhance efficiency.

“Now, it takes just 40 minutes for towels and everything to get dry when before it used to take two runs for anything to dry,” said Mary Roney, a HSHC volunteer from Westfield.

Other features include an expanded reception area, expanded overall capacity and more spacious kennels. Roughly 200 animals call the new facility home, the majority of which are cats. The goal for staff is for the animals’ stays to be brief.

“If it is a long wait (for adoption), at least it’s in a facility that’s state-of-the-art,” said Max Williams, HCHS director of marketing.

Added Stevens, “this place represents, for me, personally, over a decade of blood, sweat and tears trying to create a place where animals can go temporarily that celebrates their life and would be a destination for families to want to visit because it’s full

To our valued readers: Current remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we will continue our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will

of life and happiness.”

When Stevens joined the HSHC 16 years ago, its facility was on the campus of the Hamilton County Jail and had been in Noblesville, at various locations, for 36 years.

Stevens often thought about what she would add if she could help design her own animal welfare facility, such as exercise space and a fully developed veterinary clinic with its own operating table and X-ray machine. continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community. That means, in a fourweek month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail. In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

It’s starting to appear that we’ll be able to return to weekly circulation at 100

The new facility has each of those amenities.

“This place is probably going to be my legacy and why I was put on this earth, to create a brighter future for these animals,” Stevens said. “Not just in Hamilton County, but from outside this county, too.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the HSHC has seen a nearly 400 percent increase in adoptions. But there has already been an uptick in surrenders, whereby people drop off an animal at the facility. In many cases, people discover that caring for a pet is more difficult than they expected. The HSHC tries to help those people learn how to properly care for their pets to avoid surrenders.

“We go to the ends of the earth to help pet owners keep their animals,” said Williams.

But animals are always arriving. It is the hope of Stevens that all of Hamilton County might visit and see the new place, and maybe discover a new member to the family in the process. percent sooner than later. As we indicated before, exactly when is anyone’s guess, but is something we badly want to restore.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work to get back to business as usual.

An Inspiring Story “I smile every time I walk into my laundry room. The team at CASE not only improved the layout and flow, it’s now a beautiful space I look forward to using.”

LN’s successful run ends in OT

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Lawrence North High School boys basketball team put together a memorable two-year stretch with a record of 53-5.

“I’m a better coach with these two flanking me,” Wildcats BASKETBALL coach Jack Keefer said of seniors Shamar Avance and D.J. Hughes. “They’re winners. They fight hard. They lead well. They do what they have to do to make the practice right. They do what they have to do to win. They’re good people. They’ll have great careers wherever they end up at.”

The Wildcats were 25-2 and won a sectional in 2019-20 before the rest of the postseason was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This season, Class 4A No. 3 Lawrence North finished 28-3, losing to No. 2 Carmel 51-46 in overtime April 3 in the Class 4A state championship game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

C.J. Gunn, a junior who has committed to Indiana University, led the Wildcats with 18 points. In addition to Avance and Hughes, Lawrence North will lose two other senior starters, Kayden Beatty and Donaven McCul-

ley, who is headed to play football at IU. It was the Wildcats’ first time in the state championship game since winning three consecutive state titles from 2004-2006.

“This team is very hard working,” said Hughes, a Butler University signee. “We busted our butts every single day in the two weeks (before the final). To not pull it out is very heart-wrenching, but it doesn’t take away from it. We never give up on each other. We all believe in each other, no matter what it was. We win together, we lose together.”

Keefer said the season was a grind because of the pandemic.

“To not be socially in school as much as you’d like them to be really pulls on them, but they kept focused,” Keefer said. “We had a 12-game winning streak. They probably played their best ball down the stretch here.”

Keefer said fans certainly got their money’s worth in the championship final.

“It was an exciting game,” he said. “It was down to a certain call, a certain play, a certain dive. The calls could have gone either way or the ball could have bounced another way and we’d be state champs. We just didn’t quite get over that little hump at the end.”

Lifelong construction worker finds relief from severe leg pain through vein procedure Credits care team at Ascension St. Vincent for going ‘out of their way’ to answer his questions and concerns Bruce Brosius began noticing varicose veins in his legs about 10 years ago. But he said it wasn’t until recently that they started to cause him severe pain.

His wife encouraged him to seek care. Bruce said an ultrasound at Ascension St. Vincent detected clotting in both of his legs.

“The clotting was causing me a great deal of pain and swelling,” said Bruce. “The clot was probably the size of a nickel in the side of my right leg, near my knee. It was hard to the touch and very tender.”

Bruce said he believes several factors may have led to the varicose veins in his legs, including being a reformed smoker, his genetics and his demanding construction job.

“I spend a lot of hours standing on my feet, wearing boots and carrying a tool belt,” Bruce said. “I’m doing high-impact work all day long.”

Bruce had a radiofrequency vein ablation procedure on his right leg at Ascension St. Vincent. This minimally invasive procedure uses heat created from radiofrequency waves, delivered through a small catheter, to close off the abnormal superficial veins that cause varicose veins. © Ascension 2021. All rights reserved.

“Vein problems run a broad spectrum, from unsightly cosmetic issues to significant health issues and disability,” said Richard Chitwood, MD, a vascular surgeon at Ascension St. Vincent. “Our team of vascular surgeons listens to each patient to determine the care plan for their particular issues and provide appropriate treatment.”

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago.” — Bruce Brosius Bruce said the procedure was quick and simple, and relieved a large amount of pressure from his leg. He speaks highly of the care he received.

“The team at Ascension St. Vincent has gone out of their way to be respectful of my wishes and to listen to all my questions and concerns,” said Bruce. “I cannot say enough good things about them.”

Bruce Brosius, who has been a construction worker for over 40 years, had a minimally invasive procedure to relieve his leg pain.

Bruce said he will continue to see his care teams at Ascension St. Vincent for follow-up care and that he is looking forward to working and riding his bike without leg pain getting in the way.

“If I would have known that this treatment was going to be so painless, and that I was going to meet so many wonderful people involved, I would have done this a long time ago,” said Bruce.

Vascular specialists at Ascension St. Vincent provide a variety of innovative treatment options for men and women needing vascular care, from injection sclerotherapy for spider veins to minimally invasive venous ablation for varicose veins.

Annual reports can contain lots of minutiae, but some information just jumps off the page, like the number 420.

That’s how many single-family home permits were issued in 2020, which is the most issued by the Town of McCordsville since 2004, when 241 were approved. Moreover, 30 more single-family home permits were issued in 2020 than in the previous two years combined (106 in 2018 and 105 in 2019). It is not slowing down.

“Our permit numbers are sky-high again,” said Ryan Crum, McCordsville’s director of Planning and Building. “We’ve approved already this year 85 new homes, which would put us on pace for around 340 for the year.”

Not surprisingly, town officials expect to see a record number of permits issued this year. Two new subdivisions — Oakcrest and Pine Vail Estates — were completed last year. Another is already approved for this year and another is awaiting approval.

McCordsville’s population has grown 688 percent since 2000. The town’s population grew by 8.5 percent between 2019 and 2020 and is expected to continue rising. Town officials estimate the population could surpass 19,000 by the end of the decade.

“I think McCordsville, because of our location, is seeing a lot of the (residential) growth,” Town Manager Tonya Galbraith said. “We are also seeing a lot of industrial interest as well.

Everything seems to be coming together.”

Other highlights from the town’s 2020 annual report • Average sales price of a new single-family home: $318,562 • Average size of a new single-family home: 3,288 square feet • Total sales price value of all new homes: $76.4 million • The Town Center: “We’ve been working on the Town Center for a decade or so,” Galbraith said. “It’s becoming much more of a reality. We’ve identified a stormwater retention area that would be an amenity as well as a utility.”

• Improvements to Wastewater Treatment Plant will double in volume from a half-million gallons to 1 million. “We’re about 50 percent done on the project,” Galbraith said.

VERNON TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPT. ENHANCEMENTS

McCordsville’s town mask mandate Although the state’s mask mandate expired on April 6, town officials are taking a wait-and-see approach with its local mandate.

“That will be a (town) council decision,” Galbraith said. “I asked them their thoughts if we would be going back in person soon, and they said they wanted to wait at least until May to see some of the requirements

The Vernon Township Fire Dept.,which serves McCordsville and Fortville, had — until recently — been operating under 1970’s-level funding and with aging equipment, according to local officials.

But in 2020, the creation of a new fire territory allowed for increased funding that allowed the department to purchase two new fire engines and a new ambulance.

Manpower also will be increased.

“By the fall, we anticipate our first career firefighters,” VTFD Chief Chad Al-

len. “We’ll continue to be supplemented by our part-time staff.”

The combination of an improved fleet of engines and full-time firefighters is expected to dramatically improve response times.

“Response time certainly has dropped,” Allen said. “The prior system required volunteers to respond from home, so just by putting 24-hour coverage with five or six people on each day, if there is a call, then we are able to get on the road in around a minute and a half.”

Of sound mind and body

Recalling the best spring break ever

Commentary by Terry Anker Why can’t life be easy all the time?

Would it be so difficult to remove our difficulties? For many of us, such questions resonate, especially these days.

Things that used to be very simple can now be abundantly complicated. Do we shake hands anymore? Or, is it best to deploy a fist bump, elbow bang or nod across the room to acknowledge a kind greeting from a friend? Even from those many things we might keep after the pandemic is officially pronounced no longer a threat, most of us are struggling to make sense of the new social order. For some, it may be — or seem — irreversibly life damaging. For many, it will be an inconvenience for a while.

At least we have our health, right?

The cliché, like many others, makes a good point. Anyone who has ever endured a toothache will tell you that all is well until the pain starts. Then, within hours, nothing else matters. Time stops until the anguish is alleviated. Birthday parties, long-planned trips, big presentations at work — all are set aside in the increasing wave of sensory-induced focus. No matter the cost, we’ll do anything to make it relent! Our previous worries have faded into some fistclenched negotiation with God — make the pain recede and we promise to be good and stop tormenting our brother, complaining about the job, or watching too much television news.

Then, modern medicine rescues the tooth — equilibrium is ultimately restored. How long do we hold our promised repentance? With the sharp and shooting agony alleviated, our attention returns to the annoyances of the daily ritual. Is the corporal sufficient? Does mental anguish count? Maybe the saying should be redrafted to proclaim, “At least we have our physical and mental health.”

I had a rich best friend with a timeshare, and Doo had a family connection through an uncle. He was tall and skinny, with an impressive mullet (Doo, not the uncle), and for me, at least, it was love at first sight.

Surprisingly, he called a few days after we were back stateside to invite me to visit. We married six years later, and the rest, of course, is Wilson history.

It’s a great story, right? Spring break fling-turned-matrimonial bliss? With our own children now around the age we met, I can’t help but think how crazy it all was. For starters, my parents let me travel internationally to a place where the drinking age was 18, essentially unchaperoned (there was a designated adult there, but she wasn’t either of our mothers and drank more than we did).

And then to fall for a boy who lived only two hours north, and like me, heading to Colorado for college? What were the odds?

I believe it was fate. And so, when I give my annual spring break talk to my students about making good choices, I do in fact spend some time on vacation romance. “Be prepared for one of two eventualities!” I warn. “Heartbreak is the more likely, but you might also land at the spectrum’s other end: Three decades of marriage with a guy whose once enviable mullet has been replaced by an immaculately bald dome.”

Peace out.

Unpleasantly surprised to see me? ®

catering for any honeybaked

occasion this spring!

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie People always act surprised to see me.

Not happy to see me — just surprised. I remember walking home from HUMOR elementary school and coming in the door about 3 p.m. My mother would say, “Are you home already?”

I must have lived closer to school than I thought.

When I was on TV every morning, people who saw me at the supermarket seemed shocked. “Dick Wolfsie! What are you doing here?” I had a list of answers that began with eggs, bread and 2 percent milk.

The staff at my dentist’s office was stunned to see me the other day, but I can’t figure out why. True, I had not been to the dentist in a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I made an appointment in January for late March, assuming I would be vaccinated by then.

Ten minutes after I made that appointment, I got a text asking me to confirm the date.

Then, two weeks ago came a postcard in the mail reminding me that at 2 p.m. on March 31, I was to see Dr. James about my pearly off-whites. Then a few days before the appointment date, I received an email and a text, all not-so-subtle hints to be sure I arrived at my scheduled time. I also got a message on my answering machine that morning: “Hi, this is Dr. James’ office. We are confirming your appointment. Could you call us back and let us know you got this message?”

When I returned the call, I got their an-

swering machine: “Hi, this is Dick Wolfsie and I can’t wait to see all of you again.

Could you please call me back to confirm that you got my message confirming that I will be there? If I don’t hear from you, I’m not going to bother driving all the way over there.”

When they called back, I wasn’t home, so they left a message: “Dick, this is Dr. James’ office.

Yes, we expect you.

Please confirm you got this message, which confirms we received your last message, confirming you will be here. We can’t wait – DICK WOLFSIE to dig away at the plaque.”

This could have gone on indefinitely, so I decided to just show up. I walked into the office, sat down and started flipping through pamphlets featuring horrifying photos of gum disease.

The receptionist finally noticed me: “Oh, if it isn’t Dick Wolfsie! What a nice surprise!

Are you on today’s schedule?”

Right after my dental appointment, I checked my phone and there was already a text message from Dr. James’ office confirming my next appointment … for August.

When I got back home, I opened the front door and there was Mary Ellen: “Oh, it’s you,” she said.

After 42 years, there are no surprises.

A few days before the appointment date, I received an email and a text, all not-so-subtle hints to be sure I arrived at my scheduled time.

During the surgery, an adult congenital cardiologist performs the procedure in the catheterization laboratory.

Cavin enjoys success as writer, filmmaker

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Quinn Cavin started acting classes with his mother when he was younger, mostly because he was bored with FILM school.

“She’s always been very supportive of my desire to act and create stories,” Cavin said. “She took me to acting class when I was younger. What motivated me to be an actor is I had this idea that actors didn’t need to go to school. I really didn’t like to go to school as a kid, so I tried to convince her to let me stay home and be homeschooled because I didn’t need to go to school because I was going to be an actor.

“Luckily, she encouraged me to stay in school.”

Cavin graduated in the top 10 of his class academically at Mooresville High School. Cavin, who turns 24 April 16, graduated from Wabash College in 2019 with a double major in psychology and theater.

An honors student, he was selected to give one of the two student commencement addresses at Wabash.

Cavin performed in school plays in high school and in college.

“I’m glad I didn’t quit,” Cavin joked about school.

His parents, Curt and Becky Cavin, moved to Noblesville when Quinn started college and now live in Westfield. Curt is a former Indianapolis Star sports writer who now works for IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Cavin, who now lives in Burbank, Calif., moved to New York after graduating from college. He quickly found success as he made a short film called “The Dine-andDash Dater” with another Wabash graduate, Ryan Cairns, shortly after moving to New York.

“It’s based on a real-life news article that Ryan had shown me, ‘The dine-anddash dater,’” Cavin said. “This guy had been going on hundreds of dates on dating apps. He’d show up to dinner early, order an entrée and then order another entrée with his date, take another to go and just slip out the back door. All the

women put the pieces together that this was the same guy. The story went on even after we finished the film. But he was finally arrested and charged with the felony with the sheer numbers of bills he’s skipped out on paying.

“I thought the story was a funny real-life thing and we kind of adapted that to a fun movie to make.”

Cavin wrote and directed the film with Cairns. Cavin’s girlfriend, Mafalda Pinto Correia, from Portugal, portrays the main character since the story is told from the perspective of the girl who is left from dinner. They set up a sting to catch him.

While in college, Cavin took a semester off, from January to July in 2018, to study in New York City, winning a scholarship to study at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. He met several actors, including his girlfriend, who he used for the film. They were in an acting class together.

The short film was completed at the end of 2019 and won the Best of Fest at the 2020 Strasberg Film Festival in February 2020. It was nominated in several categories.

“It was in a handful of virtual festivals,” Cavin said.

Cavin said because of the short film success, they decided to produce a series called “CherryBomb,” with Corriera as the lead and co-creator.

“We took the core characters that are in ‘The Dine-and-Dash Dater,’ minus the guy doing the dining and dashing,” Cavin said. “We took the tone of the film and adapted it to be a TV show. The story is about entrepreneurialism and the experience of finding your way in the world as a young adult.”

The six episodes, which were filmed during the summer of 2020, are about 25 minutes each.

“There were obstacles filming in New York during the pandemic,” Cavin said. “It was an ambitious thing for us to do and none of us were sure when we were shooting the first episode that we would make it all the way to six episodes because of the time, energy and money it takes to produce even one of them.”

The series is in post-production, and Cavin hopes to find a streaming home later this year.

Juniper on Main

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 110 E. Main St., Carmel What to get: Charleston-style shrimp and grits Price: $17 or $23, depending on size.

Anna’s take: After visiting Juniper on Main for a food review, it is now my favorite restaurant. Like, top restaurant for me, ever.

The little building is on Carmel’s charming Main Street, and the inside is adorable and quaint. The outdoor seating, with the twinkle lights and a soft breeze, makes you feel like you’re on vacation, and the coastal fare enhances the feeling. I sampled several items, all of which blew me away. To start, I tried a sampler platter of the appetizers (which is not on the menu but was made just for me). I tried the fried green tomatoes, which were deliciously crisp on the outside and served with a side of lemon aioli, spiced green tomato jam (reminded me of apple butter) and a bed of arugula. Typically, four to five tomatoes are served per order for $11. I also tried the cornbread basket, which is a warm portion of cornbread served with a delicious sweet butter and a savory pimento cheese spread. Four hunks of cornbread are served per order for $8.50.

The Low Country Crab Cakes were my favorite appetizer. They are two crab cakes the size of tennis balls with a side of lemon aioli and arugula for $16. The flight of deviled eggs is very fun — each egg is different and chef’s choice. The two I tried had smoked sausage and a Coca-Cola barbecue on one and salmon and dill on the other. Five are usually served per order for $10.

Clockwise, from top left, appetizer platter with fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, crab cake and cornbread; grilled salmon with chili lime butter; Forsyth fig salad and Charleston-style shrimp and grits. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

For the main course, the Forsyth fig salad ($16) was bright, tart and sweet with a sweet tea-brined chicken, goat cheese and honey fritters, and an array of fruit and nuts with a side of house-made rosemary fig balsamic dressing. The Charleston-style shrimp and grits ($17 for the lunch portion, $23 for the dinner portion) was a rich bowl full of jumbo shrimp, smoked sausage, caramelized onions and peppers atop a mound of heirloom cheese grits and served in a velvety cream sherry sauce topped with a fried egg. Another favorite main course was the grilled salmon with chili lime butter ($23), served atop a bed of coconut rice with citrus black beans, sweet plantains, asparagus, pickled red onion and cilantro.

To top it off, I had a slice of the hummingbird cake, which I urge you to order, it was so good, and a key lime tart with layers of sponge cake, which was bright and refreshing. Since I write this column every week, I rarely ask for carryout boxes to take leftovers home, but you better believe I asked this time. I was incredibly impressed, to the point that I called my mom as I left the restaurant and told her that we would have to return together and pretend we were on a cruise while dining there.

On hot days, the wax will melt, scattering the scent throughout your car. You can also use essential oil on a clothespin attached to the air vents for the same effect, especially in the colder months.

Germany’s Kiel Canal is the world’s busiest artificial waterway, accommodating more ships than the Suez and TRAVEL Panama Canals combined.

The waters north of Germany are divided into the North and Baltic seas by the Jutland Peninsula, jutting about 270 miles into those waters. Denmark occupies the northern three quarters of the peninsula and the German state of Schleswig-Holstein occupies the southern quarter.

In 1871, Schleswig-Holstein became part of the German Empire, ruled by Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm I. With Germany now united, it became important that German commercial and military vessels could go between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea without going around Denmark. As a result, the German government decided to construct a canal near the base of the Jutland Peninsula, running southwest from Kiel to Brunsbüttel, with locks at both ends.

Construction of the canal began in 1887, with 9,000 workers moving 100 million cubic yards of dirt. In 1895, Kaiser Wilhelm II officially opened the 61-mile-long canal, 10 miles

longer than the Panama Canal, and named it the Kaiser Wilhelm Kanal in honor of his grandfather. Using the canal instead of going around the Jutland Peninsula cut the travel distance of ships going between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea by about 450 nautical miles. Between 1907 and 1914, Germany enlarged the canal to accommodate its largest battleships.

Although the Treaty of Versailles opened the canal to international shipping, Adolf Hitler closed it in 1936. The canal was reopened after World War II and renamed the Kiel Canal. The canal is spanned by 11 fixed bridges, each providing at least 138 feet of clearance. The canal can accommodate ships as long as 772 feet and as wide as 106 feet, dimensions excluding the largest container and cruise ships. Despite the limitations, up to 130 ships travel through the Kiel Canal each day.

Noblesville’s most magical event is back: Welcome To Fairyville is April 21-24, with outdoor opportunities for lovers of whimsy of all ages!
