Fishers mayor, DELV Design announce details for the new Fishers City Hall

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As a public business destination, the City of Fishers wants to make its future City Hall building as welcoming GOVERNMENT as possible.

City officials also want it to be multifunctional and unique.

DELV Design co-founder Jeremy Welu and Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness spoke in detail about the project during an April 20 Twilight Town Hall Zoom event. Designs of the new building were unveiled during an Welu April 18 Fishers City Council work session.

Fadness called the new building “a bit unconventional.”

“As many things are in Fishers,” he said.

“We try to be innovative and took a different approach to truly be the people’s house and an opportunity for residents to engage in unique and different ways.”

The $22.8 million building will be built in the same location as the existing City Hall at 1 Municipal Dr. Fadness said because of a wealth of needed updates and repairs, including a sinking foundation, it made more sense to invest in a new building than fix

the old one. The new City Hall will include a theater and art gallery, among other amenities. The city will use $6.3 million of its $6.9 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to help pay for the building.

Fadness said because of the city’s debt strategy, there will not be a tax increase to fund the new City Hall.

DELV Design and Meyer Najem were chosen to design and construct the facility after a monthslong request for proposals process. Welu, a Fishers resident, said his goal is for the new building to be more welcoming to residents.

“The average city hall Fadness isn’t often interacted with by regular residents,” he said.

Welu said his design priorities were “to put people first.”

“Many times, you think of in most cities the roads collide into a node in the middle,” he said. “A lot of times, it’s a monument, like Washington, D.C., for example. Fishers is different. At the heart of our city is activity, like the concert series and farmers market.”

Welu said a theater and arts center will make the building more attractive to residents.

“How do you create as much foot traffic and as much curiosity as you can to invite

people in?” Welu said.

An open breezeway in the new building will separate the theater and the art gallery.

“The right side is the art center, and the left side is the theater,” Welu said.

Welu said an ellipses-style curve of the site would allow residents to engage with the building without having to enter it.

The Indianapolis Arts Center will partner with the City of Fishers to offer arts-related programming, such as pottery or painting classes.

Fadness said the building is the largest investment the city has ever made in arts programming.

“At the heart of it is a 250-seat courtyard theater,” said Welu, noting that a courtyard theater allows flexibility where seats can retract and open to a flat floor. “It can have City Hall meetings or theater or a local play.

Our goal is to have an entrepreneurial city like Fishers to have the space react and provide a creative backdrop for lots of different kinds of presentations.”

The art center will have classrooms, galleries and other features. A rain garden will border the east side of the building.

Welu and Fadness expect groundbreaking to happen in October. The new City Hall will likely be complete in March 2024.

Dad’s decision proved right for Westfield softball player

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School senior Avery Parker was a bit forced to trade in her pompoms.

“I was a cheerleader until I was 10,” Parker said. “My dad picked me up from a tumbling class and handed me a mitt and said I was going to play softball.”

It proved to be the right decision as Parker is headed to play softball for Indiana University on scholarship.

Parker had two major goals, one personal and one team, entering the 2022 season.

She has already smashed her personal goal of breaking the school’s all-time home run record of 25. She has nine already to give her 28 in her career.

Now, she just has to get her team goal of breaking the school’s single-season record for wins, which is 16. As of April 25, the Shamrocks were 9-4 and 2-1 in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference.

Through the first 13 games, Parker was hitting .526 with 28 runs batted in.

“All around as a team we’ve been doing better than we have in past years,” she

Parker is a catcher and infielder.

“I play wherever they need me,” said Parker, who also hopes to play in the NorthSouth All-Star game.

As a junior, Parker batted .588 with 12 homers and 38 RBIs. She hit .489 with seven

homers as a freshman. The 2020 season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Parker said she was recruited by IU as a catcher and to play at the corners in the infield.

“I love catching, but honestly, I like play-

ing everywhere,” she said.

The 5-foot-9 Parker said her biggest improvement has been an increase in power.

“I’ve built up strength as I’ve gotten older, so I’ve hit the ball harder,” she said. “A lot of balls I hit that would have been flyouts have turned into home runs. Line drives that would have been groundouts have turned into doubles and triples. My speed has developed more. When I get on base, I like to steal bases.”

Parker said playing travel softball with Indiana Magic Gold has helped her see more pitchers with speed.

“In travel softball, we play some Power 5 Division I commits, so they throw some heat,” she said.

Parker said she has always wanted to play in the Big Ten and IU seemed like a great fit.

“I know (IU’s coaches) are going to develop me in the best way,” said Parker, who plans to major in psychology and wants to become a forensic psychologist.

Her brother, Aidan Parker, is a 2020 WHS graduate and an offensive lineman for Youngstown State University’s football team.

Local women run largest-certified female-owned commercial real estate brokerage firm in the state

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After a decade of working together, Kara Riggle and Yumi Goodman — who have nearly 20 years of experience in commercial real estate — felt the time was right to start their own business, 92c Partners, which launched in March 2020.

“We were at the prime age to start our own firm and go out on our own,” Riggle said.

Today, the company is the largest-certified female-owned commercial real estate brokerage firm in Indianapolis. 92c Partners derives its name from the 92 counties in Indiana.

“We service the entire state of Indiana and have completed multiple transactions in each of the 92 counties,” Riggle said.

The Indianapolis-based company is women-certified at the state and city level. Riggle said they are working on obtaining their federal certification.

“Being certified puts us in front of companies that are seeking to diversify their minority participation,” said Riggle, who lives in the Geist area of Fishers.

Goodman said 92c Partners does more than negotiate lease terms. The company is a full-service commercial real estate firm.

“We provide brokerage services to all industries — office, industrial and retail — as well as construction management, project management, furniture procurement, move management, lease administration and lease audits,” said Goodman, who lives in Carmel.

“We take it A to Z,” Riggle said. “Once the lease is signed, we continue ​to work with you by providing a​ ncillary services such as construction management and project management. It’s a one-stop shop.”

Goodman said offering all services under one roof prevents important items from getting lost in translation. Goodman said 92c Partners also assists clients with strategic planning.

“We save clients time and money by helping clients reimagine a floorplan and give them deliverables before the architect gets involved,” Goodman said.

Riggle said many clients don’t know what

nies that are offering hybrid work schedules for their employees.

“Now, they might not need as much space, so we have been working with clients to help them understand how much space they actually do need,” Riggle said. “A lot of people need advice on how to handle that.”

The company’s five employees are all women, although Riggle and Goodman said they would hire a man if the right candidate came along.

they need until they work closely with 92c Partners.

“They may not have a good grasp of what they actually need,” Riggle said.

During the pandemic, Riggle and Goodman helped clients prepare to return to the office after the lockdowns.

“The last thing anybody was thinking about was their office lease for the first

few months,” Riggle said.

For example, one client needed help adding personal protective equipment to the office.

“We know how many people sit at the counters, so we ordered plexiglass to go between each one of those seats,” Riggle said.

“We were putting stickers on the floor.”

The real estate firm also assists compa-

92c Partners co-owners Kara Riggle and Yumi Goodman launched their business from home in March 2020 and expanded to an office space in Lakefront at Keystone office park in February 2021. By December 2021, they acquired an office space in the same complex that was double the size.

“It’s a chicken-or-the-egg situation,” Riggle said. “We are growing to meet the new needs we have or what has come about that we need to service.”

92c Partners also became a member of Commercial Real Estate Supplier Diversity Association, or CRESDA, at the end of last year. CRESDA, based on the East Coast, is a national alliance of certified minority-, women- and veteran-owned commercial real estate firms, according to its website.

“They reached out to us and asked us if we would be interested in joining CRESDA as a member,” Riggle said. “This is a huge opportunity for us as CRESDA selected us as their representatives to provide brokerage services throughout the state of Indiana.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Grab a cab?

Depths of pain and death

Commentary by Terry Anker “Your driver will arrive in two minutes,” says the trusty app on our phones. How wonderfully convenient.

In fact, the screen also points to the live location of the vehicle, its general appearance and license plate number.

Moreover, it tells us, with eerie specificity, that our ride is now “400 feet from us.” Terrific, we’ll soon be on our way, secure in our confidence of the marvels of modern technology and maybe just a bit smug in the wonders that we have delivered upon this good Earth.

But the vehicle has not moved from its spot 400 feet away for five minutes now, then seven, then 10. The application allows for a text we send to the driver with a basic inquiry, “We’re here and ready, is all well there?” A few slow minutes pass. Now, we call. Naturally, the call is unanswered. Moments later, the car disappears from our screen. The transportation service offers to get us another ride in only 15-minutes. Instead, we board a waiting taxi and are on our way.

As the cab is nearing our destination, a phone notification, in an odd delay, informs us that Jane canceled our earlier trip, no apology just a restatement of the obvious fact. Then, an email arrives from the rideshare company with a bill for “our” failure to complete the transport and an admonishment that we be more responsible. Then, in a multistage process with countless drop-down menus and new logins, the company says that they will refund our money because their “system investigated this issue and resolved as per (their) policy.”

Do we thank them for returning money to us that they wrongly took? Do they thank us for our wasted time? Do we challenge our positive impression of the “gig” economy? Or do we simply take a taxi?

Friends, I’ve had a rather sleepless week, mostly from dealing with what I’m positive is a broken arm, but also from learning all the ways scuba can kill me. Let’s explore!

First, I’ve self-diagnosed a stress fracture somewhere in my right shoulder. Based on extensive online research, including but not limited to Web MD and Wikipedia, discussions with co-workers and family members, none of whom are medical professionals, and my own anatomical intuition, I’m 80 percent confident I’ve suffered a break. It was probably back in February while doing stupid burpees or a HIIT workout without warming up properly (stretching is for the weak!). It’s continued to worsen, and now I have difficulty writing on the chalkboard, reaching over to smack my husband Doo when he’s snoring, and lifting anything heavier than my phone.

I can’t get in to see a doctor until midMay, so I’m going with the broken arm theory until proven wrong. And I’m telling everyone about it. Ad nauseam.

When I’m not flinching from the acute pain of turning onto my stomach at night, I’m wondering why on earth I decided to become dive certified. I mean, sure, I’ve always wanted to learn, and I did turn 50 this year – YOLO – but sweet mother, who knew how easy it was to get a brain embolism or to poison yourself with nitrogen or simply disappear in the vast ocean surrounded by jellyfish and woman-eating predators? I’m completing the online course, and every other slide is basically, “You might die!” Doo, unfortunately, offers little in the way of reassurance: “Yeah, you might.”

In summary, it’s been a fairly sleepless week.

Peace out.

DISPATCHES Indiana among least likely to tolerate impaired employees — Have you ever been tempted to have a drink while on the clock? In a professional workplace, it may be ‘gross misconduct’ and could lead to immediate dismissal without the option to collect unemployment. Most private companies are not mandated by law to have drugfree workplace policies; however, there are exceptions. Workers in safety and security-sensitive industries, as well as federal employees are required to maintain sobriety in the workplace under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. DrugAbuse.com conducted a survey of 3,700 employers across the U.S., asking them to rank their tolerance of intoxication in the workplace from 1 to 10 (1 being the most tolerant and 10 being the least).

The survey revealed that overall, employers in the state of Indiana are among the least tolerant of drunk or high employees, with a ranking of 5/10. Employers in Connecticut, Maine and Nebraska were found to be the most tolerant of employee intoxication with an average tolerance ranking of 3/10. The survey also delved into different industries to find out which are most and least tolerant when it comes to being intoxicated on the job. Employers in the banking and real

estate industry were found to be equally tolerant (2/10).

Source: DrugAbuse.com Finding at-home jobs — For job seekers wanting to work from home, the internet is full of scams. There are so many spam postings that it’s tiring to sort through them for legitimate opportunities. Two websites do a pretty good job of screening their postings.

Flexjobs.com does charge a small fee, about $50 per year to access its database of listings. RatRaceRebellion.com is free to but is fairly legitimate.

Source: BottomLineInc.com New car replacement insurance — Typical insurance policies only pay a depreciated value for your car if it’s totaled in an accident. Recent ads offering full replacement cost are very common. They don’t, however, tell the whole story. Full replacement cost coverage will increase your premium by at least 15 percent and is only good for a limited time period, or specific number of miles.

It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

Feinstein, Patty to share Palladium stage

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Michael Feinstein has been eager to have singer Sandi Patty join him again in person.

CONCERT Feinstein and Patty performed a free virtual concert featuring holiday music in November 2020 amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We did a live concert a number of years ago and I was thrilled she wanted to do another one together because she is a wonderful person in addition to being an exquisite talent,” Feinstein said.

An Evening with Michael Feinstein with special guest Sandi Patty is set for 8 p.m.

May 7 at the Palladium at the Center for Performing Arts in Carmel.

Feinstein, the Center’s artistic director, typically performs at least one concert per season.

Feinstein said he and Patty will each perform a set of songs and then sing some duets.

“I’ll be doing some Gershwin selections from my new recording,” Feinstein said.

“I’ve got some new things I’ve been working on, a couple of new routines, some classics and some more contemporary things. I like to mix it up and bring different things to each show for those who might have seen me before (so they) can hear something that is new.”

Feinstein said the show contains incredible pieces of music.

“I always try to find something that will be fresh for everyone, so it’s always new,” he said.

Feinstein’s latest album, “Gershwin Country,” featuring duets with a variety of stars, was released in mid-March.

“One of the things that made it unique was recording it in Nashville with a Nashville band,” Feinstein said. “Then tailoring each duet to the individual personalities from Dolly Parton to Brad Paisley, Lyle Lovett, Alison Krauss, each one was tailored to that specific voice,” Feinstein said. “I’ll probably do those songs solo unless Sandi likes one of the duets and wants to do them in a performance. We

haven’t discussed that.”

Feinstein last performed at the Palladium with Melissa Manchester in May 2021.

Feinstein said his schedule has picked up in the last few months as the pandemic has eased.

“Performances have resumed and that’s been wonderful,” he said. “I’ve done a couple of shows at Carnegie Hall and been in Florida several times with different symphonies. I haven’t been back to full schedule because depending on the geographical location, some people are more or less reticent about coming out. Audiences in some places have been smaller until people feel totally comfortable about going out again for live music. It varies from place to place.”

Feinstein’s cabaret at Hotel Carmichael had its grand opening in May 2021. He has similar clubs in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Feinstein said each club has acts that draw better crowds than others.

“In Feinstein’s club in San Francisco, we’ve learned an equal balance of local

talent mixed with international talent works best in this place,” he said. “With Feinstein’s at the Carmichael, we are still discovering what audiences like to see in the room, even though the many great performers we’ve brought in from New York and LA have done well. With our goal being serving the community and sharing the breadth of talent that is local, the balance is still being worked out.”

Feinstein said one of the things he loves about the room at the Carmichael is that it was created from scratch as a nightclub and is not a space that was transformed from something else into a nightclub.

“All of my friends who have come to play the room have been agog at the beauty of the place and comfort of performers on stage,” Feinstein said. “I think it will grow as more and more people experience it. I think once people are in the room, I would wager they want to come back and experience it many more times. At least, I hope so.”

Cool Creek Concert Series returns

Center lands popular acts

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The Cool Creek Summer Concert Series will offer an even mix of old and new in its 2022 schedule.

MUSIC “Three of this year’s six musical acts will be new to the Cool Creek Concerts stage — Fleetwood Gold, The Nauti Yachtys featuring Josh Kaufman, and Stella Luna and The Satellites,” said Don Nicholls, Hamilton County Parks resource development specialist. “All in all, Hamilton County Parks is extremely excited about this year’s stellar lineup of musical artists and, of course, the fun activities that are staged in the park in conjunction with the concert performances.”

Kaufman, a Carmel resident, was the Season 6 winner of “The Voice” on NBC in 2014.

Nicholls said he likes the fact that the series has a unique variety and is adding a tribute band.

The 28th year of the Friday night series kicks off June 17 with The Flying Toasters at Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st St. The series follows with Fleetwood Gold, June 24; Toy

The Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey C. McDermott saw the need for more balancing CONCERTS programming at the Palladium, the Carmel venue’s 1,600-seat concert hall.

“About five years ago or so, we felt we needed to step up the more commercial revenue-driving shows we were booking here,” McDermott said. “We would bring in all sorts of world-class shows that I would call mission shows, classical, jazz, songbook or international, great talents and great artists who weren’t necessarily well-known but part of our mission to bring great music and great artists to our venue.

“The challenge was, without some higher revenue-producing and commercially viable artists, it’s hard to maintain that mission.”

There have been some big draws like Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., Weird Al Yankovic, Diana Ross, Sheryl Crow and Steve Martin and Martin Short. McDermott

Tickets are $5. Children 12 and under are admitted free. The gates open at 6 p.m. with concerts starting at 7 p.m. There are kid zone activities and food and beverage vendor offerings on the concert grounds.

Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs.

said the 2021-22 season might have created the biggest buzz with attracting John Legend, who performed Oct. 20, 2021, and Sting, whose concert is set for May 8. Both concerts sold out quickly after public sales began.

McDermott said the Center wanted to book Sting for more than one night, but his schedule was already filled. McDermott said Sting and Legend likely could have sold out multiple nights.

McDermott said some of the more popular ticket-selling acts are added after the season is announced.

“A lot of the more commercial artists might book four or five months in advance,” McDermott said. “They have to be touring in this area and we have to have the opening at the same time. It’s the combination of art, science and a little luck.”

McDermott praised the contributions of Dan Kemer, who was named the vice president of programming in June 2021. Kemer, a Carmel resident who has been a vice president of Live Nation Entertainment in the Midwest, stepped into the role when Doug Tatum retired from the position.

Sing along with the ICC as we celebrate hope, happiness, and the importance of music in our lives. Music is meant to teach, heal, and unify us as a community. The ICC showcases how music transforms us by highlighting the most talented youth in our community.

This concert features artistic excellence from the ICC as we celebrate the hope of our future with these gifted young musicians.

The ICC’s Master Chorale and AAYC are joined by a baroque orchestra as the high school singers share one of music’s most sacred and uplifting major choral works of all time. This concert honors the ICC’s graduating seniors as the choir dedicates and performs some of their favorite choral pieces to celebrate the fun, friendships, and experiences that the ICC offers its singers over the years.

Blueprint for Improvement: Classic kitchen in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene These homeowners wanted to elevate their kitchen’s aesthetic appeal, improve functionality and increase entertaining space.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • White perimeter cabinets brighten the space and provide a more modern appeal, while wood tones accent the expanded island.

• The matte white brick backsplash provides a delicate texture contrast to the sleek quartz countertops.

• A device-charging drawer, knife block drawer and warming drawer improve functionality.

• The custom cabinets extend to the ceiling, providing additional storage and display space.

• Timeless finishes, like polished nickel cabinet hardware, elevate the kitchen’s aesthetic.

Let’s talk baby talk Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ouiatenon Park blockhouse in West Lafatette. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A brief history of Fort Ouiatenon Commentary by Don Knebel Fort Ouiatenon Park in West Lafayette includes a reconstructed fort that is inaccurate in its design and location, TRAVEL but nonetheless remembers an important historical site.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, Weas, a subtribe of the Miami Nation, established a village along the south bank of the Wabash River 4 miles southwest of what is now West Lafayette. In 1717, the French established a fortification named “Ouiatenon” (Wee ot teh non) across the river from the Weas. The fort became the center of fur trading, and French settlers built homes around the fort, the first European settlement in what is now Indiana.

In 1761, during the French and Indian War, British forces captured Ouiatenon.

Two years later, Native American forces organized by Ottawa Chief Pontiac captured Ouiatenon. A 1765 meeting between Native Americans and the British at Ouiatenon resulted in a peace treaty. Weas later used Ouiatenon for organizing attacks against settlers. In 1791, President George Washington ordered the total destruction of Ouiatenon and the Wea village.

In 1909, the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a marker where they believed the French fort had stood. In 1929, Richard Wetherill, a wealthy Lafayette physician, historian and philanthropist, donated the riverfront land that surrounded the marker to the Tippecanoe County Historical Association. In 1930, he financed construction of a wooden blockhouse on the site. The area around the blockhouse, including a boat ramp and pavilions, became Fort Ouiatenon Park. In the late 1960s, archaeologists discovered the actual location of Ouiatenon, about a mile west of the park, which was named a National Historic Landmark in 2021.

Historians also determined that Wetherill’s blockhouse is of British rather than French design. Despite these inaccuracies, every early autumn Fort Ouiatenon Park hosts the very popular Feast of the Harvest Moon, reenacting the annual fall gatherings between the French and Weas at Ouiatenon.

“baby’s”: My baby’s pacifier got lost in his car seat. That baby’s lung capacity is exceptional.

The word “babies” on its own indicates more than one baby: The babies went through an entire crate of diapers last week. As a child, I enjoyed the cartoon “Muppet Babies.” Those politicians are acting like a bunch of babies.

When multiple babies possess or own a thing or multiple things, use babies’: The babies’ strollers each got a new neon green paint job. The babies’ father had his hands full.

It’s a daunting task to take on the responsibility for a new life, especially given the various levels of disarray in our nation and world. I do take solace, however, that my baby’s first word will no doubt be uttered in honor of his favorite absolute person in the entire world: mama.

My wife and I welcomed our third baby last week. Our baby boy is happy and healthy; his parents are happy and tired. Please send GRAMMAR GUY caffeine.

During the nightly brain fog induced by our new “feed-change-cuddle-repeat” cycle, I’ve been thinking about a few baby-related language rules. Please excuse me if any spit-up gets on this column.

Is “baby” ever a proper noun? Unless your stage name is DaBaby, the short answer is “no.” Baby is a common noun, just the same as lamp, tree and stroller are common nouns. The only instance in which “baby” becomes proper is when the word is used as a name. For instance, “Baby Sinclair” is the name of a character from the early 1990s sitcom “Dinosaurs.”

How do you express something a baby owns or possesses (other than my heart when he wraps his perfect, tiny fingers around my pinky)? That certainly depends on the context.

If one baby owns a thing or things, use
