By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

At a meeting earlier this month to organize positions and committee appointments, the Noblesville Common Council selected CITY Brian Ayer as its president for 2019.

Ayer, who was vice president in 2018, replaces Chris Jensen.

Councilor Wil Hampton was chosen as vice president for 2019.

“I am excited for Brian to serve in this leadership position again and look forward Ayer to working with him and the entire common council in 2019 as we continue to make the community better and more prosperous,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear stated.

During his years on the council, he has served on all council committees and was council president in 2008. As an at-large councilor, he represents all of Noblesville and Noblesville Township.

“The council’s goals for 2019 are to continue working to achieve the 10 Noblesville NOW capital improvement plan objectives and progressing forward on making improvements to our infrastructure, especially the major thoroughfares of Pleasant Street and (Ind.) 37,” Ayer stated.

Ayer has been a Noblesville resident since 1964 and graduated from Noblesville High School in 1976. He and his family started Ayer’s Real Estate in 1978, which serves Noblesville and Hamilton County. Ayer is a member of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and is a former chamber board president. He is a member and former board member of Noblesville Main Street and is a past board member for Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County.

Zionsville ranked first, Carmel second, St. John third and Dyer fourth. Westfield trailed Noblesville in sixth place. Fishers was the only city in the county not in the top 10.

HomeSnacks studied median home values, median income, population density, the unemployment rate, commute time, crime, education levels,

health insurance coverage and poverty rates.

On last year’s list of the same study, Noblesville ranked eighth. Overall, HomeSnacks also cited the number of activities to do as a family and arts and culture as a reason for Noblesville’s high ranking.

Home styling in 2019: Beazer Homes showcases functional design

By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com Inside the model homes of construction company Beazer Homes, the EVENT walls are decked with on-trend art and functional design elements. The company has built or is building communities in Zionsville, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and Fortville, among other areas.

Raegan Potter, Beazer Homes senior marketing manager, said the builder puts a lot of weight on the decor of its model homes. Visitors to the model homes often ask questions about furniture, wall colors and design.

“They come in looking for decorating ideas,” Potter said.

To stylize its model homes, Beazer uses Denver-based Design Lines, a division of Trio. Design Director Jodi Rutherford and other members of the Design Lines team travel to Indiana to decorate the model homes.

Design Lines conducts extensive market research on the area before designers select flooring, cabinetry, countertops and other items. The team envisions a family and writes a story about each person who lives there.

“We try to evoke emotion around buying a home,” Rutherford said. “We want (buyers) to be able to picture themselves living there.”

West Rail at the Station, a Beazer neighborhood in Westfield, contains seven different home designs, with prices ranging from $269,990 to $399,990. The Shelby Plan is a two-story, single family home featuring an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, entertainment space and a versatile loft, among other features.

Rutherford visited Westfield Nov. 30 to finalize the design on the Shelby model home. The bathroom design includes soap and beauty products. The loft was turned into a play area, complete with art supplies, a teepee, games and comfy chairs. The basement contains a full bar, game table

and media room with a large sectional sofa.

“It’s very family oriented,” Rutherford said. “It has a pingpong table made from a modern dining table with a net put on it.”

Good design should be eye-pleasing and functional, according to Rutherford. When designing a new home, she said a good place to start is finding a piece of art or a rug to inspire the overall feel.

“Start with something you love and create from that,” she said.

Although designing a home can be overwhelming, Rutherford suggests sticking with a timeless style, something that makes the homeowner feel comfortable.

“You can give each room its own individual look,” she said.

Rutherford’s top style predictions for 2019 include sustainable and natural products, matte black, curved furniture lines, metallics, gray flannel and deep colors, such as rich reds and jade greens.

said a quick-response team will visit homes within 48 to 72 hours after the incident to check on the individual and provide support.

Quick-response team members also will canvas communities, going door-to-door to provide help. Each team is made up of a law enforcement official, a firefighter and a peerrecovery coach.

“The recovery coach will be someone who is in recovery themselves,” Greer said. “So, we’re hoping they’ll be more effective in encouraging patients to seek treatment.”

The grants also will create a Community Opioid Prevention Effort coalition, whose members will compile information and provide community mapping for areas with a high frequency of opioid abuse.

“The ultimate goal is to get people into treatment,” Greer said. “We’re not going to turn anyone away.”

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs has added more than a half-million dollars to its pool of resources after it was awarded three COVER STORY grants. The collective $590,343 will primarily be used for the planning, implementation and operation of quick-response teams to fight opioid abuse countywide.

The largest grant, $490,342, is from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, an arm of the U.S. Dept. of Justice. The other grants, $50,000 each, are from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction.

The DMHA grants are intended for planning. The Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs has key players on board, including representatives from law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, fire departments, treatment centers, communications and 911 dispatch, data collection and agencies.

Monica Greer, executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, said approximately 45 members from the agencies are involved with the new initiative.

Efforts stemming from the DMHA grants will begin first in Noblesville.

Greer said the quickresponse

teams should be up and running before the end of the month or early February.

The federal grant will encompass the entire county. The quick-response teams will be introduced in Noblesville, Fishers and the county’s smaller communities like Sheridan, Atlanta, Arcadia and Cicero. Carmel and Westfield already have similar programs, and Greer said her council plans to build off of those. “(The DHMA grants) will give us time to develop and operate a small-scale run of what we’ll be doing, and (the federal grant) will give us the pieces we need to make this work county wide,” Greer said. “Probably within the next couple of months, we’ll start integrating those other communities.”

Greer said, quick-response teams will allow the county to provide resources at a level it hasn’t seen before.

“Right now, we don’t have any follow up for a person we interact with, so that’s the main change and addition,” Greer said. “With these grants, the target population is somebody who overdoses and is revived by Narcan (or naloxone, an opioid-overdose antidote) and survives. They go to the hospital, and once they’re released from the hospital, our coordinator will call them and say, ‘We’ve got this program, and we’d like to talk to you about it. Would you be willing to meet with our team?’ If we can’t get ahold of that person, we’ll just do a home visit.”

If the person who overdoses is arrested, treatment programs are offered through the jail or referred by the court system. Greer said her council’s teams and programs that are changing as a direct result of the grants are for those who have slipped through the cracks or were not arrested for drug crimes, which happens when there is no evidence of drugs or paraphernalia.

“When our team meets with them, we’ll say, ‘Are you interested in treatment? What do you need to make that happen (insurance, transportation, etc.)?’”

Greer said. “We’ll really get into all of their barriers to see what resources we can provide to help them get into treatment. That’s the ultimate goal.”

Once the changes are in place, Greer

300+: 36:

More than 300 doses of Narcan were administered by Hamilton County first responders in 2017. Numbers for 2018 are still being gathered.

In 2017, there were 36 opioid poisoning deaths in Hamilton County. Experts say the number is likely higher because overdose deaths are often reported as the actual cause of death. For example, someone who overdoses can die of a heart attack or stroke, making it difficult to keep data on the real number of deaths.

3x:

Deaths from opioid overdoses in Hamilton County rose 300 percent in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 from the six years prior. From 2008 to 2013, there were less than five opioid-overdose deaths each year. In 2014, there were 18. There were 21 in 2015; 26 in 2016; and 36 in 2017.

52%:

Hamilton County saw an increase of approximately 52 percent in non-fatal emergency department visits due to opioid overdoses from 2011 to 2015.

500: 1,146: 28%: 95: 72: 61: 36:

Hamilton County 911 Dispatch received 500 opioid-overdose calls, with an average of 30 calls per month, in 2017.

The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office filed 1,146 charges for controlled-substance possession and/or drug-dealing offenses in 2017.

Of the Hamilton County Probation Dept.’s 10,771 urine drug screens in 2017, 28 percent tested positive for opiates.

In 2017, the Noblesville Fire Dept. administered 95 doses of Narcan. The Noblesville Police Dept. administered six doses.

In 2017, the Fishers Fire Dept. administered 72 doses of Narcan. The Fishers Police Dept. administered four.

In 2017, the Carmel Fire Dept. administered 61 doses of Narcan. The Carmel Police Dept. administered nine.

In 2017, the Westfield Fire Dept. administered 36 doses of Narcan. The Westfield Police Dept. administered eight.

ESSAY Govt. bias?

LETTER Statue of Liberty just fine where she is

Commentary by Terry Anker Quietly, perhaps too quietly, the state of Alabama, through its government employee pension fund, recently became the sole owner of one of America’s largest local newspaper groups. Owning 13 such products in our own fine state, it seems that your friendly local publication (this one) is now competing directly with the $44 billion governmentsponsored juggernaut.

To be fair, free markets are a good thing, regardless of the size of the gorilla with which we may find ourselves confronted. And, Retirement Systems of Alabama, the behemoth that made this recent purchase, has been in the business of buying assets beyond the typical stocks and bonds portfolio for some time. Still, can we expect government to be a direct investor in companies designed to stand against government corruption?

The current political climate reflects accusations of media bias.

Certainly, contributors and editors from all points of view bring their own perspectives. Likewise, shareholders, readers, employees and owners can lean into a news gatherer’s general take. So, should we simply let government put its thumb on the scale? Or, can we imagine that a southern governor, with a firmly rooted and appointed board of loyalists, will be tempted to urge “his” newspapers to run stories friendly to his campaign — or to suppress stories of his corruption? How will these journalists challenge, public employee unions without considering their year-end bonus?

The notion of a separation between church and state is firmly rooted in our national discourse.

Should the same apply to a separation between our government and the Fourth Estate?

A dozen years of drama Commentary by Danielle Wilson I have kept an electronic copy of every Current article I’ve ever written. After almost 12 years, once a week, I’m fast HUMOR approaching 600. Six hundred!

And occasionally, when I can’t think of anything about which to muse, I read a few as a reminder of what I was doing in winters past.

I spent each of the last five Januarys, for example, recounting the first delicious dancemom adventure of the season, sordid tales of dressing-room drama and tarted-up toddlers.

Februarys generally cough up a lot of bitterness phlegm, particularly those between 2011 and 2015 when Doo would abandon me with four not-yet-driving tweens and teens during potential Snowpocalypse season and head to the ski slopes with his buddies. And columns from the first half of 2010 and 2016 revolved around house issues, detailing first a drawnout move that included, but was not limited to, a three-month stint with the in-laws and

a busted water heater a day after closing. I wrote extensively about my inability to cope with the stress, including an impressive breakdown at Meijer and accidentally voting Republican. Always entertaining.

But, alas, times have changed. My tiny dancer has hung up her competition shoes, I actually look forward to Doo’s boy-cations (a girl needs a break!), and today I’m happy to report that home ownership and I are in a good place.

I do feel a pang of sadness at missing Dancemakers this weekend (remember when I got stuck in the parking garage?

Hilarious), but it’s fun to think of 2019 as a new chapter. Who knows what the next 600 columns will bring?

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.”

-Steve Jobs

Editor, Regarding Mr. Campbell’s cartoon, the Statue of Liberty asking to go back to France (published Nov. 27), evidently Mr. Campbell is not aware of the rebellion in France.

Thousands of French citizens called “Yellow Vests” have been rioting for weeks, initially over a carbon tax on diesel fuel.

However, complaints obviously go much further than the now-rolled-back carbon tax on an already heavily taxed population. Our Statue of Liberty would find these workingclass people also are protesting the mindless refugee plan.

Now, the Yellow Jacket rebellion is spreading to other European Union countries. So, the implication of the cartoon is the U.S., under President Trump, now has unfair and unwelcoming immigration laws.

Most citizens expect that immigrants are properly vetted, hence the need for legal immigration. Most citizens don’t want to become unfortunate collateral damage to serve an immigration political ideology.

While our immigration laws are far from perfect, I believe the Statue of Liberty is just fine where it is, welcoming immigrants as she has most of our families.

GUEST COLUMN Somehow, the narrative that they “founded the U.S. on Judeo-Christianity” still

survives. Here are some interesting facts about our most famous “Founding Fathers” to disprove this myth.

Both Jefferson and Madison opposed clergy and chaplains from holding office due to the fact that the appointments could produce religious exclusion as well as political disharmony (how prophetic of them!).

Adams synthesized Puritan, deist and Humanist concepts and maintained that religion must be based on common sense and reasonableness and should change and

Washington emphasized religious toleration in a nation with numerous denominations and religions and never used his religion as a device for partisan purposes or in official undertakings as president.

Franklin clarified himself as a deist in his 1771 autobiography and embraced the radical notion of an egalitarian democracy or a belief in human equality, especially with respect to social, political and economic affairs.

Hamilton dropped his religiosity during the American Revolution and became a conventional liberal with theistic inclinations who was an irregular churchgoer, at best.

As long as he keeps his religion out of our laws, he is upholding what the Founding Fathers intended — a society and country where no religion is dominant over another; one where we are free to worship, or not worship, according to our own beliefs.

Gleckman’s devotion to craft pays off with composing job

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com At 18, Ashton Gleckman didn’t graduate from high school and hasn’t learned to drive.

Yet, he just landed a job with his composing role MUSIC model.

Gleckman, a composer and musician, started a job this month with Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music in Santa Monica, Calif.

Gleckman left Carmel High School after his sophomore year in May of 2017.

“I didn’t get a GED or anything. I just went after my passion for music and spent full-time studying,” Gleckman said. “I started scoring short films and did a few documentaries. I just focused all the time I would have been spending on school and focused on my craft.”

Gleckman’s father, Ari Gleckman, said his son will start at $48,000 per year.

“Not bad for a high school dropout,” his father joked.

Gleckman interned for Zimmer’s film scoring company, Remote Control Productions, in July 2017 in Los Angeles. Zimmer has composed for more than 150 films, including the Academy Award- winning score for “The Lion King,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Gladiator” and “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series.

Zimmer has won four Grammy Awards and two Golden Globes.

Gleckman didn’t meet Zimmer until after his internship. Gleckman drew Zimmer’s attention when he saw Gleckman’s YouTube series, “Behind the Score,” in which he examines and reconstructs film scores. Gleckman further attracted Zimmer’s attention following the release of an episode exploring Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” for which Zimmer wrote the score.

“We analyzed film scores and how composers create the music,” Gleckman said. “Randomly, he ended up seeing the ‘Inception’ episode and made contact. A few months later I did something on ‘The Dark Knight,’ and I got a message from him. From there, I got a chance to meet with him (in May 2018) and have a conversation. He was genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve met.

He made me feel at home.”

Gleckman interviewed with Bleeding Fingers in September 2018. The fact he never graduated from high school never came up during his interview with Bleeding Fingers.

“What they did ask is, ‘Can we hear your music?’” Gleckman said. “Hans and the Bleeding Fingers staff have an amazing ear for music. It’s all about, Can you write music, and can you do it pretty quickly?”

Bleeding Fingers Music was co-founded by Zimmer, his business partner Steve Kofsky and Russell Emanuel. It is a joint venture with Extreme Music, part of Sony/ATV Music Publishing.

“It writes custom music for TV shows, everything from BBC shows to Netflix to shows on the History Channel,” Gleckman said. “They also score for ‘The Simpsons’ as well.”

Ashton Gleckman works for Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music company. (Submitted photo)

Gleckman will live in an apartment less than a mile from work and can walk or bike to work. His sister, Ariana, lives in Hollywood.

Gleckman attended the New York University film scoring workshop in June 2017 and spent six weeks in master classes in Vienna, Austria, in the summer of 2018.

“That, for me, was like my university experience,” Gleckman said of the master classes. “There was Conrad Pope, who is a veteran in the industry who has worked on most of the ‘Harry Potter’ films and ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Star Wars.’ So, you’re learning directly from these people who have really made a name for themselves.”

Gleckman has written, directed and scored five films, including the award-winning short “The Soldier.” He earned Best Young Filmmaker honors at the Los Angeles Film Awards in 2018.

“I got inspired by watching ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and wanted to make something myself,” Gleckman said. “(I had) virtually no budget at all and had a few friends I tricked into helping me on the project and spent a couple of days shooting it. It was a big passion project. I wrote that, edited and wrote the music for it.”

Suzanne Stark has long wanted to perform with Actors Theatre of Indiana.

“Their THEATER shows are wonderful and the production quality is through the roof,” Stark said.

Stark is making her ATI debut in playing Lita EnStark core, the grandmother of 8-year-old Tina Denmark, in the production of “Ruthless! The Musical” from Jan. 25 to Feb. 17 at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Nya Beck, a 10-year-old Fishers resident, is playing Denmark, who is convinced she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and will do anything to win the part, including murder.

The musical is a spoof of musicals such as “Gypsy” and “Mame” and movies like “The Bad Seed” and “All About Eve.” “I’ve never seen it before, but the script is a lot of fun,” Stark said. “I think we’re going to have fun with it. It’s very sassy. It’s a satire.”

Stark, who lives in the Nora area of Indianapolis, has acted at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre since the 1980s. Stark said the role is a little outside her comfort zone.

“I always played the ingenues, and then I moved into the ‘Hello Dolly’ and the “Mame’ (type roles), and then I started playing more character roles,” Stark said.

“I’ve not played a role this far over the top. She’s not Beck nice. I think the audience is going to laugh at her. We’re all kind of mean and do terrible things.”

Beck said she was invited to audition.

“I practiced, auditioned and I got it,” Beck said. “This is a real good learning experience.”

She has been taking voice lessons from Tamara Totty, a Zionsville voice teacher.

The Lantern Road Elementary fourth-grader performed in Civic Theatre’s production of “Annie” in 2017, playing one of the orphans.

Beck appeared in Civic productions of “The Music Man” in 2017 and “Fiddler on the Roof” in 2017.

Texas Roadhouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14758 Greyhound Plaza, Westfield What to get: 8 oz. USDA choice sirloin Price: $12.99 Anna’s take: Typically, I stay away from chain restaurants when writing this column because I am a big proponent of local, small businesses – restaurants included.

However, Texas Roadhouse opened just off U.S. 31 north of 146th Street in Westfield in December 2018, and it’s been all the hype, so I thought I’d give it a try.

My verdict is Texas Roadhouse offers decent steak for an excellent price. The free cinnamon-butter rolls are a plus, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. To start, I tried the Cactus Blossom ($5.99), golden-fried, crunchy, onion-y goodness served with a Cajun horseradish sauce for dipping. The onion is split in a blossom shape, hence the name. This was a good price for a huge appetizer, and there’s plenty to share.

For steak, I ordered the 8 oz. USDA choice sirloin and added shrimp because I’m a fa-

natic for anything seafood. I order my steak medium-rare. Anything more done than that takes away the flavor in my opinion, and I paired it with steak fries.

Texas Roadhouse actually sent staff from locations from across the U.S. to the Westfield location during its first few days of operation to ensure a smooth, easy opening while new staff members received training. Having worked in restaurants prior to my career in journalism, I thought this was a nice touch and showed effort on corporate’s end.

Suggested pairings: Generally, I only order margaritas when I’m eating Mexican food, but don’t skip Texas Roadhouse’s Original Margarita on the rocks. It’s served in a glass the size of a cauldron and is made with three tequilas, a housemade sweet and sour, orange juice and agave nectar.

Behind bars: Aperol Spritzer Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Aperol, soda, Prosecco, orange slice Directions: Fill to wine line with Prosecco, add Aperol and top with soda water. Add an orange slice to garnish.

Let’s agree to agree Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt You only have to look as far as your social media feed to realize people disagree over just about everything.

GRAMMAR GUY In an effort to help us see eye to eye on something, let’s discuss subject-verb agreement. A singular noun needs a singular verb to accompany it, and a plural noun takes a plural verb.

One of the easiest ways to get our subject and verb agreement crisscrossed is when other words or phrases come between them. This collection of presidential toenail clippings belongs in the Smithsonian. In this sentence, “collection” is the subject and “belongs” is the verb. Collection is singular, as is belongs. Don’t be tempted to change the verb “belongs” to “belong” because of “toenail clippings,” since “toenail clippings” is part of the prepositional phrase “of presidential toenail clippings.”

When it comes to subjects that are indefinite pronouns—which include someone, nobody, anything, each and either—these words are all singular nouns. You can treat any of these indefinite pronouns just like you would he, she and it. For example, each

of my pet porcupines hates broccoli. The subject “each” is singular, so it takes the singular verb “hates.”

Finally, you’ve got to know what to do with all-too-common sneaky verbs like “have,” “do” and “be.” Use “has” if your subject is a singular noun or a third-person singular pronoun: He has 19 potatoes. If your subject is plural or is the pronoun I, you, they or we, use have: I have only one potato; they have several.

In the same way, use “does” if your subject is a singular noun or a third-person singular pronoun: She does goat yoga. If your subject is plural or is the pronoun I, you, they or we, use “do.”

The verb “be” takes three different irregular forms in the present tense: is, are and am. “Is” is singular; “are” is plural. Only use “am” with the pronoun “I.” I think we can all agree that subject-verb agreement is complicated.

You may have one doctor, but we provide many perspectives.

From heart disease to cancer, there’s nothing that conquers life threatening disease more than teamwork. At Community, our expert physicians and surgeons routinely consult in the patient’s best interest. Around here, you often don’t have one doctor. You have an entire team. That’s exceptional care, simply delivered. All from a health network that had the beautiful idea to bring them both together.
