The McCordsville Town Center project became closer to reality Aug. 18 when the town council approved a TOWN PLANNING $40 million mixeduse development near Ind. 67 and Mt. Comfort Road.

“It’s exciting. We have been working on this a long time,” said Tonya Gailbraith, McCordsville’s town manager. “I’m really optimistic that we will see something really unique for this area.”

Two apartment complexes — the McCord Square Apartments — have been approved to be constructed in the first project of what will become an area with a variety of living spaces and retail area to be called McCord Square.

“The Town of McCordsville has planned for the development of a town center for more than a decade,” Barry Wood, Town of McCordsville council president, stated in a media release. “With the master development agreement substantially approved with Rebar Development, we are confident that McCord Square will become an economic driver for the area as well as meet critical needs of our growing community.”

The apartments promise to be the first piece of the larger developmental picture, which town officials say will give McCordsville a unique and distinguished town center and a foundation to grow the town, which is expected almost double in size by the end of the decade.

“In order to make a town center like McCord Square, you need to have people living there and are close by,” Gailbraith said. “The apartments are the first step (to) get people moving in and living there, which will make the future restaurant and business

FPD issues 270 citations for hands-free driving violations

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Since Indiana’s hands-free driving law went into effect July 1, 2020, the Fishers Police Dept. has issued 270 citations to motorists for failing to use PUBLIC SAFETY hands-free technology while driving.

FPD Sgt. Tom Weger said during that time, the police department has seen drivers making more of an effort to refrain from using their phone while driving.

“I think that, overall, we do see more people using the

hands-free technology, so we are excited about that,” Weger said. “Obviously, the whole premise is to increase driver attention and decrease crashes, so we hope that that trend continues.”

During the law’s first year, many police departments issued warnings to prioritize public education about the law. In a statewide press conference July 29, police Weger departments announced they would be moving away from warnings and issuing tickets, which can cost up to $500 and add four points to a violator’s

driver’s license. Speeding up to 15 mph above the speed limit can add two points to a license.

Weger said, when possible, drivers should secure their phone out of reach so they aren’t tempted to use it while driving.

“Secure it in the glove box or a purse or a backpack.

Having it out of sight, out of reach will decrease the temptation to look at it while driving. That’s the ideal situation,” Weger said. “Obviously, when we’re talking about using their phone for GPS, that’s not an option, so use some type of Bluetooth technology or other hands-free technology integrated into the car would be our recommendation.”

Spartz: COVID vaccine should be promoted, not mandated Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, workforce shortages and global unrest, U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz from InPOLITICS diana’s 5th District is staying busy as she finishes the first half of her first term.

She visited with Current in Carmel to discuss these issues and what’s next on her agenda.

States and municipalities are handling COVID-19 Spartz measures, such as mask and vaccine requirements, in many different ways. What role should federal politicians play in preventing the spread of the virus?

I’m a big believer in local control and discretion. The more power is centralized, the more ineffective it becomes, because one size never fits all. I think Congress can provide tools and mechanisms and help states provide guidance and be more transparent on some of the issues so people actually trust in us a little bit more, but ultimately, the decision should be on the local level.

If you take the state of Indiana, Marion County is very different than Grant County or Hamilton County, for example.

There are very different (situations) on the ground, and giving local control and discretion for people on the ground will be much better.

Plus, if (local elected officials) do something wrong, it’s much easier to get rid of them than get rid of your president, whether you like him or not.

What is your view on the COVID-19 vaccine? Should it be mandated?

For most people, the vaccine can prevent very serious illness, and I think it’s important for us to promote that, but it should always be a personal choice what you want to put inside your body. You should never have the government tell you what (to put in your body).

Plus, people have different circumstances, and I think people need to be given information they can discuss with their doctor and look at risk and rewards.

Across the nation, school boards are facing increased scrutiny from parents over issues that include diversity initiatives and mask mandates, among other measures. What is your reaction to this increased interest among constituents?

I believe it’s good to have that local community discretion, but it involves citizens actually being involved. We probably need to have more civil debate on issues. Sometimes, we get too aggressive and are not willing to listen to each other, but it’s good to have people engaged. It’s good to see that people do care, and I think boards need to really start paying attention, too, because I think a lot of them are not used to (increased attention from the public).

Many businesses are having trouble finding workers, how can the workforce shortage be addressed?

We need to be able to think about how we can obtain better skills in K-12. We need to expose more kids to internships and apprenticeships during high school and give them the ability to learn different skills and decide which paths they can try.

Price is right for Zionsville football team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School senior running back Colin Price has all the attributes.

“He’s an all-around back,” Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said. “He’s got great speed. He’s got really good vision.

He’s a guy that attacks all the time.

He’s a downhill runner. He loves to be physical, and he finishes runs. He’s an all-around great athlete, so he does everything really well. He can beat you in multiple ways. He’s very versatile, which makes it easy for his teammates, coaches and play callers.”

Turnquist said he is valuable catching the football as well.

“We can split him out as a receiver and he protects well,” Turnquist said.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Price rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons.

“He’s a guy we can always rely on physically and mentally, too, as a leader and as a great teammate,” Turnquist said. “He’s a guy we lean on.”

MEET COLIN PRICE

College plans: Playing football and majoring in finance.

Favorite subject: Math.

Favorite athlete: Christian McCaffrey Favorite TV show: “Breaking Bad” Favorite way to relax: Listening to music The Eagles won their season opener as Price rushed for 202 yards on 27 carries with two touchdowns Aug. 20 in a 28-10 victory against visiting Pike.

His career high is 257 rushing yards

against Westfield as a sophomore.

“I’ve gotten a lot better at anticipating cuts based on how the linebackers are flowing,” Price said. “Slowing down the game has also gotten easier with the experience that I’ve gained over the past few years.”

The Eagles reached the Class 5A state

championship game last year before losing to Cathedral 46-28.

“This team has the potential to be as good if not better than last season,” Price said. “We have a lot of experience on both sides of the ball, which will help us in the long run. Going to state and coming up short has definitely made me hungrier to prove what we can do as a team. Our goal this year is to do what it takes to get back to Lucas Oil and finish the job.”

Price said he has gotten more comfortable with being a vocal leader.

“Now being a senior, I have to take the responsibility of being extra vocal in order to share whatever knowledge I have with my teammates,” he said.

Turnquist said he knows Price will do great things individually.

“We just want to make sure he’s spreading the wealth of experience and talent he’s had, and he’s done a great job of that this year,” Turnquist said.

Price, who also is in an outfielder on the high school’s baseball team, plans to play football in college. He has received offers from Hillsdale, Eastern Illinois, Butler, Northwood and Findlay.

Initiative aims to create pollinator gardens in Lawrence parks

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com When Lawrence City Councilor Maria Rusomaroff kept encountering butterflies and organizations that wanted to attract them, she knew she was onto something.

This spring, Rusomaroff learned of three separate groups around Lawrence that were creating and promoting pollinator gardens, which feature flowers and grasses that attract bees and butterflies, particularly monarch butterflies. At the same Rusomaroff time, she was frequently noticing monarch butterflies and she kept finding herself in conversation about pollinators.

“Same thing, same time, three different groups,” Rusomaroff said. “I just pulled everyone together and said, ‘Let’s just do this together as one.’”

Now, the groups are working together, and the Lawrence Butterfly Project is nearing reality. With the funding approved by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Board this month, the initiative will go before the Lawrence Common Council on Sept. 6 seeking approval for the $15,000 needed to complete the project. Rusomaroff is confident the funding will be approved.

If approved, the Lawrence Butterfly Project will bring pollinator gardens to four parks — Soccer, Lee, Jenn and Veterans Memorial — in the project’s first phase, set for this fall. It’s expected to eventually expand to all Lawrence parks.

Pollinator gardens will occupy 5 to 7 acres between the four parks.

When the plants and flowers are planted by late November, they will take a couple seasons to

bee and stuff like that. But there’s too much grass, and we need to balance it.”

Masur wants to prevent monoculture, or one type of plant in a particular habitat, which is evident at most development sites, where the green space becomes grass by default, with an occasional tree mixed in.

“You need a diversity (of plants) for the betterment of the environment,” said Trace Yates, executive director of the Lawrence Community Parks Foundation.

Masur said the maintenance of the pollinator garden is negligible compared to the expansive grass lawns that need frequent mowing, which leads to gas and labor costs.

“You do have to do some upkeep (on pollinator gardens), but it’s much less effort and maintenance involved,” Masur said.

The pollinator gardens will look different from each other depending on the park and will have different flowers, depending on soil type. But the concept calls for at least 1 acre of land — donated by the city — for the gardens. Most will have two parcels of flowers divided by a pathway for pedestrians.

“You’ll be able to walk around the perimeter and through the path in the middle of the garden. There’ll be sitting areas you can sit at and signs and literature about the different plants and pollinators as an educational aspect,” Rusomaroff said. “It can be active by walking through or contemplative where you can sit and watch the birds and the butterflies.”

fully bloom, which is expected by the spring of 2023.

At that point, butterflies will begin pollinating in what Liz Masur — a retired English teacher at Lawrence North High School — calls a “a green desert,” referring to grass that doesn’t promote the pollination process. Masur was one of the people leading the grassroots efforts to promote pollinator gardens before connecting with Rusomaroff to help create the Butterfly Project.

“The grass doesn’t help the pollinators, but wildflowers do,” Masur said. “If we can get more wildflowers planted, that helps the pollinators, which helps us.”

Masur and Rusomaroff are not against grass, they just want to see more flowers planted.

“We don’t want to outlaw grasses completely,” Masur said. “We want people playing soccer and football and Fris-

For the Lawrence Butterfly Project, some plants are better in a pollinator garden than others. Organizers primarily want plants that flower, which attracts butterflies and other pollinators, but they also want plants that are native to Indiana as opposed to invasive species. The native plants are more robust and can adapt to changing seasons. And unlike invasive plants, they don’t choke out other species.

Possible plants for the gardens include: Grasses: Sideoats grama, meadow sedge, Canada wild rye, Virginia wild rye, little bluestem, prairie dropseed.

Flowers: Nodding wild onion, common milkweed, butterfly weed, white false indigo, partridge pea, Lance-leaf coreopsis, pale purple coneflower, purple coneflower, rattlesnake master, Western sunflower, false sunflower, rough blazing star, dense blazing star, bergamot, Riddell’s goldenrod, stiff goldenrod, wild quinine.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Finding solace

No putting it delicately

Commentary by Terry Anker It is just something that people say. They sum up difficult or awkward moments, these polite aphorisms that find their way into our collective vernacular. They help us transition from those subjects most difficult for humans to process. As such, funerals are rife with the well-intended cliches: “Her death is a blessing, really.” Really? The devastated family is looking to make order of the inconsolable loss. Maybe it is really, really a blessing. Still, we imagine that there may have been better days ahead had it not been for the finality of earthly parting. No sane person wishes suffering of another soul, yet is pain sometimes required to find one’s way to recovery? How long do we hold out?

“You look just like your dad,” they say. “Thanks. Dad was a handsome guy,” replies the sheepish teen. But he wonders, how could it be? Adopted as a child, father and son could not claim a biological likeness. He keeps the fact to himself. Having been told the same by numerous others through the years, he came to see the disappointment in their eyes when he helped them understand that what they believed they’d noticed was more through the power of suggestion than that of observation.

Is it the very trite nature of these expressions in which we find comfort and therefore learn to embrace? These truisms have been shared countless times for generations and serve to remind us of our common humanity. We can’t think of anything more to say but desperately seek connection. If sad, we’ll offer support. If happy, we’ll offer a compliment. Is the insight particularly deep? Maybe not. Yet, if we recognize these words not as didactic admonishments but instead as hopeful reminders that others care for us, are we assured of solace in their banality?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself — the invisible battles inside all of us — that’s where it’s at.”

— JESSE OWENS

What a poopy week I’ve had, and I say that both figuratively and literally. Let’s explore.

In the figurative sense, we suffered a homeowner’s near catastrophe when we discovered standing water in the basement storage room and flowing rivulets through the finished area. Apparently, our sump pump had stopped working a few days prior. I don’t care so much about the now-ruined carpet and discarded junk, but a cardboard box of my childhood memorabilia was left undiscovered for too many hours, resulting in 30-year-old letters and photographs being completely soaked. I managed to salvage most of them, but it was heartbreaking to have to throw away birthday cards from my grandmothers and photographs of old grade school friends.

It was definitely a crappy moment.

On the literal and definitely more humorous front, I had the fascinating opportunity to prepare a stool sample for a Cologuard test, a mail-in colon cancer screening. On balance, my experience was smooth sailing, though I don’t think the dog knew what to think of the interesting smells emanating from the plastic container as I prepared swabs with the lab skills of a mad scientist.

The only awkward part was having to personally deliver it to UPS for overnight shipping. “Would you like a receipt, ma’am?” Um, yes?

I also found myself volunteering to clean up a diaper explosion perpetrated by my youngest nephew in his cloth exersaucer seat. I was surprised and silently pleased to learn that this old mom can still perform sanitary miracles.

You’re welcome, Sis. So, not a terrible week as the theme might imply, but certainly one with a ton of … well, you know.

Peace out.

Restaurant focuses on carryout

By Jillian Kurtz news@youarecurrent.com After closing a traditional Chinese buffet because of COVID-19 pandemic challenges, Qiufang Ni opened New Taste DINING Seafood and Wings as a way to cater to the changing restaurant industry by focusing on carryout.

New Taste Seafood and Wings celebrated its grand opening at 9745 Fall Creek Rd., Suite 600, Indianapolis, on July 10.

An Indianapolis resident, Ni has been in the restaurant industry for more than 15 years “Since we’ve opened a restaurant before, figuring out how to cook the new menu was not difficult,” Ni said. “The difficult thing is, in a new location it can be hard to find new customers.”

To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant is offering a variety of promotions, including a $20 gift card to customers who spend $50 on a meal, a $50 gift card for $100 spent and a $120 gift card on purchases of $200 or more.

The most popular menu items so far have been flavored wings and boiled seafood,

according to Ni. Ni said the transition from a buffet-style restaurant to a carryout-style restaurant has been easy for Ni and her staff because the workload is easier.

“We’ve had more success this month compared to our first month,” Ni said.

New Taste Seafood and Wings is open Wednesday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Orders can be made through DoorDash, GrubHub and BeyondMenu.

Henthorn to make Fishers Blues Fest debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Since the middle of May, musician Doug Henthorn has been plenty busy.

“I had a gig every day, and MUSIC it’s been that way ever since,” Henthorn said. “I basically had a year off, so when May (arrived), it was go, go, go.”

Henthorn said with the lack of gigs from mid-March 2020 until May, he gained 15 pounds.

“My feet hurt, my fingers hurt, and my voice is tired because I’ve been out of practice,” he said. “But it’s great. I’m not complaining.”

Henthorn performs regularly at the Slippery Noodle and The Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis, the Jazz Kitchen in Broad Ripple and The Corner Bar near Greenwood. He had done some parking lot gigs at The Corner Bar when COVID-19 resulted in indoor restrictions.

Henthorn, 54, is now set to make his first appearance in the ninth annual Fishers Blues Fest, a free two-day event which will be held Sept. 3-4 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. Henthorn will perform at 3 p.m. Sept. 4.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Henthorn said. “I’m doing an acoustic opening set.

When they called me, they said they wanted a solo accoustic opener, so I’ll just play some blues tunes. It should be cool.”

The Westfield resident has played in several blues festivals, including in Australia a few years ago.

“But this is the first time I’ve been invited to one near my own hometown, so it’s cool,” he said.

Henthorn said most of his gigs since May have been scaled-down acoustic sets.

“People are tentative about booking full bands, which is too bad, because that is really what I would prefer to do,” said Henthorn, who has played some performances with his band.

Henthorn performed vocals and played guitar while fronting the Healing Sixes, a blues-based rock band, for 15 years. The band included drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John

Bonham, for four years.

Henthorn toured Europe with Joe Bonamasso. He also performed and recorded with John Hiatt.

Henthorn said he has recorded two solo albums since Healing Sixes split up in 2014.

He is working on a third album.

“I’ll be doing some material off of those two albums and maybe one off a new album that hasn’t come out yet,” Henthorn said of his Fishers Blues set. “I also do some choice blues covers that I enjoy playing.”

Henthorn has a website at doughenthorn.com, featuring his albums and photos.

The Fishers Blues Fest is held during Labor Day weekend each year.

“Our attendance has always been strong at Blues Fest,” Fishers Parks and Recreation director Sarah Sandquist said.

“The Amphitheater is typically full. We have a larger budget for Blues Fest. We’re

News flash: Pump the brakes on hot takes Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Great news: Google has turned us into armchair experts on everything. In just a few minutes, we can know better than experts who have comGRAMMAR GUY mitted their entire careers to complicated scientific subjects.

Thanks to social media, each of us is now our own talking head in a 24/7 outrage news cycle. Reporting live from an undisclosed echo chamber: I have some stuff to say about … stuff.

That athlete wore what? For me, it’s Spandex or nothing!

A school board in another state is allowing hoverboards? How dare they! Hoverboards have been known to cause toe cramps, which can lead directly to higher high school dropout rates! I read about it on my mom’s former doctor’s Facebook page.

Unprecedented instant access to information and misinformation has blurred the lines on what constitutes a “fact.” As a result, we can confirm any of our biases simply by reposting headlines of articles we haven’t even read.

Do we really need to have an opinion on everything?

We are a fired-up people. We have hot takes on everything from health to sports to politics — everything is fair game in our no-holds-barred arena of digitally shielded keyboard warriors. And any post can serve as an online hand grenade or myopic micdrop moment.

Here’s an unresearched fact: No one has ever changed her mind in the comments section of a Facebook post. In the history of Twitter, a hot-take argument has never made someone go, “You know what? I was wrong; Earth may be round after all.”

I realize the irony here: I’m writing my hot take on hot takes. You’re probably reading this online, and you can feel free to disagree vehemently with your own hot take on my hot take on hot takes. Take it or leave it.

The point is, just because we have the opportunity or freedom to tee off with our half-baked opinions doesn’t mean we should. After all, if everything is important, nothing is important.

Maybe — just maybe — the world doesn’t need our hot takes on the outrage du jour.
