Noblesville residents heard from Indiana Dept. of Transportation officials about proposed improvements to Ind. POLITICS 32 at Ind. 38 and River Road Jan. 10. Adding a second westbound lane along Ind. 32 was the main topic.

INDOT Manager of Public Involvement Rickie Clark said the public hearing was part of the proposal’s environmental analysis phase.

“During this phase, we are looking at how the proposed improvement will impact the community, and as part of that, we certainly need to hear from the community,” Clark said.

The proposal includes widening existing lanes, adding a second westbound lane

on Ind. 32 from Ind. 38 to River Road, and adding new sidewalks and a closed storm sewer.

Nick Batta, a project manager at Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, said the main reason for the improvements is to reduce the amount of crashes in the area and reduce congestion.

“There will be five total lanes, two in each direction, and the one in the middle is a center left turn (lane),” Batta said. “(The five lanes) will go to River Road, and we would transition that ultimately down to the two lanes that exist today.”

Construction could begin in 2020. Public comments will be accepted up to Jan. 26. For those wishing to comment, email rclark@ indot.in.gov.

Tree clearing under way for Midlance Trace’s Phase II news@currentnoblesville.com

Site work for Midland Trace Trail’s second phase began last week, primarily the clearing of trees DEVELOPMENT along the planned trail, only along cityowned land or in public right of way.

“Tree clearing is the first step in the construction process so the land can be prepped for site work,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “We’re excited to begin phase (two) a year ahead of schedule and continue the momentum of the Midland Trace Trail.”

The first phase of the Midland Trace Trail was constructed in 2017. It connected Westfield’s portion of the trail at Gray Road to Hazel Dell Road. Phase II will continue the 12-foot-wide, multi-use trail from Hazel Dell Road east to Willowview Road.

Initial tree-clearing work will be done between now and mid-March. Construction of

the trail will begin as weather allows – approximately mid-March or later – with plans to have Phase II of the trail open by mid-August.

The city hired an independent arborist to review the clearing plans and the site to inventory trees. A summary of the arborist’s clearing report is available at cityofnoblesville.org.

Construction of Phase II and the land acquired are 80 percent funded by a federal aid grant obtained by the Noblesville Engineering Dept. and 20 percent by the City of Noblesville.

Conner Prairie opens the Makesmith Workshop

By Jessica Hoover news@currentnoblesville.com

Dr. Christy Kellams

Handling Hand & Arm Pain Join Dr. Christy Kellams, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, as she presents treatment options for common hand and arm problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel, repetitive use and other conditions. A light dinner will be served.

When: Tuesday, Feb. 6 6-7 p.m.

Location: Riverview Health 395 Westfield Rd., Noblesville Krieg DeVault Conference Room (Lower level of Women’s Pavilion) Registration: Visit riverview.org/classes or call 317.776.7999.

The program is free, but registration is required.

Conner Prairie, a museum known for its family oriented learning experiences and one of the largest attractions EXHIBIT in the region, will debut a new exhibit Jan. 11: the Makesmith Workshop. The exhibit will give visitors a hands-on look at the trades of textiles, ceramics, metalworking and woodworking.

Director of Exhibits Brian Mancuso and Senior Interpreter Rachel Poe said the exhibit was an idea they planned for quite some time.

“We’re really excited about it because it takes the historic trades and things that we do on the grounds and lets us put those projects and tools into our guests’ hands to let them have the experience of making things,” Poe said.

“There really aren’t opportunities to let the visitors behind the velvet rope (currently),” Mancuso said. “Now, we can have an authentic, hands-on experience that we just can’t have in Prairie Town.”

The theme of the Makesmith Workshop will vary depending on which historic trade is featured that day. Trades will be listed on Conner Prairie’s website. Each trade has a different set of tools and materials. The first featured exhibit will be textiles, which will give visitors the opportunity to use needle and thread, sewing machines and fabric.

“One of the cool things about the space is that it’s kind of like a blank canvas that Rachel and her staff can fill in as time goes on,” Mancuso said. “It should look like a thoughtfully cluttered workspace that you can tell that craftspeople and artisans have worked in there. After a while it’s just going to be this kind of thought process in an inspirational environment over time.”

Items created at the exhibit will at times become part of a collaborative project when Conner Prairie staff puts together each visitor’s creation.

Mancuso and Poe noted that when they created a pop-up for the exhibit last spring, visitors responded well to contributing to a collaborative project. Each visitor was asked to sew together a patch of a quilt, and after the quilt was stitched together, it was displayed at Conner Prairie.

“When we did the pop-up, we learned that when visitors had contact with those objects they were able to kind of create

a bit more of a connection with them and get inspired to create something,” Mancuso said.

The interpreters in the Makesmith Workshop will not be in costume or in character because they will share tool knowledge of all time periods. Mancuso said the interpreters are meant to guide the visitors and at times even explore different concepts together.

“There might be some problem where the visitor and the interpreter will become colearners and they explore together,” Mancuso said. “We have a lot of people come in and a lot of people that have questions, so we want to make sure to really create that co-exploration.”

Mancuso said the Makesmith Workshop is for people of all ages to learn more about the historic trades and working with tools.

“It’s not about craft or glue sticks and glitter,” Mancuso said. “It’s about that older audience. It’s about the younger kids that want to take it a step further. It’s about parents that want to come in and coexplore along with their kids. Parents really see a value in getting tools and materials in their kids’ hands in ways that they may not be able to do at home or at school. Many of these parents maybe grew up with a workshop, but they don’t have a workshop.

Or, they grew up with a craft or a sewing room, and now they don’t have one. So, this is a venue where we can make that happen.”

The Future of Seminary Park City works to make a plan to improve the downtown park

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Nearly one year ago, the future of the city’s 1.3-acre Seminary Park was uncertain.

After discussion among city staff COVER STORY about possibly selling the property, which could have produced a small residential development, Old Town neighbors and community members quickly made their voice clear in favor of keeping their neighborhood park.

Today, the city is working to reinvigorate Seminary Park.

“Certainly, this all goes back to the idea of doing some sort of little development there. That was not received well, but what it did do was shine some light on Seminary Park and the fact that it needed some updates,” Noblesville Parks DirecBennett tor Brandon Bennett said. “We heard the public loud and clear, and it was cool because we had the opportunity to react to the public and start thinking, ‘OK, so what could this be?’”

In mid-2017, the Noblesville Planning Dept. had an intern, Samantha Fee, a landscape architect student at Ball State University, design a facelift for the park. Fee became involved when Noblesville Planning Director Sarah Reed pitched the idea to Bennett, who approved. Fee then came up with a design and concept of what the park could be.

“When she went out and did her initial study and saw how the park was being used, there were some areas she wanted to highlight – maybe a secondary path through the

park, another connectivity point, making sure we get back to some of the history of what was there with the old school, some architecture with fencing and entryway signs,” Bennett said. “What do we do with the gazebo? Expand it or just repair it?

We’ve also looked at adding some additional site and architectural lighting, adding more seating, more areas for picnics, rock boulders. The playground may see some changes, and then landscaping – ornamental or butterfly gardens? These are all things we’ll consider, but we’re just not sure yet. We’ve got a passive space, but overall, we just want it to be a more active park.”

Fee’s designs are in the initial stage.

“We have to take the work she did now and put it into some more schematic designs,” said Bennett, noting the primary roadblock for the project is funding.

Bennett said a timeline for completion depends almost entirely on funding – finding local donors and partners, or even potentially using park impact fees or additional funding from the Noblesville Common Council.

In December 2017, a design firm, Mader Design LLC, was chosen. The city’s downtown district committee allocated money for the parks department to begin the initial schematic designs based on Fee’s concepts.

“They’re the ones who have given us some dollars for the design, because that’s going to be kind of an entry into the downtown district area,” Bennett said. “So, this is going to be implemented into their project as well. We plan on trying to do mostly everything (Fee) had in her original design, but our concern right now is just budget.

“The budget came back higher than we thought after we had the design firms look at it, but that was the 100,000foot view. So now, we’re going to take all of the concepts and really dig down into it.”

Design began this month. Bennett said he hopes the parks department and city will have schematic designs to share with the public by April.

“We’ll have additional public input as well and continue that process,” he said. “That should also help us to drive a budget and allow us to take a look at this whole overall concept and see how we can get to the end design, meaning, are there going to be some partnerships locally? Are there artists we can get involved? Are there local donors? Can we or should we phase this thing? And if we do, how long? We don’t have a timeframe yet.

It’s just too early.

“We want to make this an attractive space for the neighborhood and downtown area. It’s a neighborhood park, and that’s why it’s so important to people.”

THE HISTORY OF SEMINARY PARK Since 1983, the 1.3-acre plat of land at 200 S. 10th St. in downtown Noblesville has been known to residents as Seminary Park, but use of the land dates back to 1850, when Hamilton County’s first public school, Seminary School, opened on the property.

Twenty-two years later, the property and building were restructured to house Second Ward School in 1872.

Second Ward School remained there until 1969, when it was demolished.

Today, the park is bounded by 10th, 11th, Division and Hannibal streets and features a gazebo, playground and open green space.

Sick days

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker If we are lucky, they don’t happen very often. In fact, some people go years without a single one. A 2017 study released by California-based Integrated Benefits Institute holds that the U.S. spends $227 billion per year on sick days and the loss of productivity that goes along with them.

Interestingly, the expense for illness is not distributed equally across all employee classes. For example, office workers cost more than those in the service industry.

Moreover, this particular study only addressed private companies with paid sick leave policies. The actual numbers for all Americans must be much higher.

It is difficult to measure the cost to the individual in lost wages, position and opportunity. The work rarely goes away and awaits our return. We fear that we are burdening our co-workers in our absence.

Are they resenting carrying the extra load?

Have we asked too much from them?

To be sure, when we are ill, we should stay home. It is better for us. And, it is better for those who work with us. Yet, understanding the line between too sick to be productive and just sick enough to be annoyed is more of an art than a science.

Sure, a feverous contagion should be a clear signal to stay in bed. But, what about a sneeze?

For many of us, working from home can bridge the gap. We stay productive, at least to some degree, while not exposing our colleagues to our incapacitation. Alas, for many, going to the office is the only option.

But, are we doing anybody a favor by trying to be a hero? Probably not.

2018 can be a year of progress

Editor, I am certain 2018 has a lot in store for our beloved city. From Finch Creek to Dillon Park, and all points in between, we see great opportunity for investment in the true gem of Hamilton County. Our goal as a council is to find ways to embrace Noblesville’s historic charm while still progressing and adapting to the needs of our community.

With the Pleasant Street corridor under design, our infrastructure map will soon drastically change. This project remains a top priority for the council.

You do not need to spend but one rush hour on State Road 32 to realize that we need better mobility in our city. With the improvements to State Road 37 project well under way, our ability to navigate Noblesville will soon be much easier.

Infrastructure projects are expensive, and investing tax dollars wisely is a big concern.

We look forward to great enhancements to our downtown. While other communities seek to build downtowns, we have an authentic one. With new restaurants like Grindstone Public House

and Bru Burger, our goal is to keep downtown Noblesville a key attraction for visitors and residents. The new Downtown Development Committee also is on the verge of designing ways to enhance streetscapes to add additional “wow factor” to our downtown.

Finally, the backbone of any strong community is public safety and job creation. We must continue to invest in and focus on the opioid epidemic gripping our city, county and state. Also, focusing on the jobs of tomorrow helps ensure that the next generation of Millers have a place (and job) to come home to.

Again, serving on the city council has truly been an honor and privilege.

To work every day on behalf of 60,000 residents to move Noblesville forward is my mission, and one that I do not take lightly. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas. Thank you for allowing me to serve this great community.

Doo and I have four teenagers. I like this phase of parenting, not only because it’s less physically demanding but HUMOR also because most nights are free from motherhood responsibilities. I was recently reminded of those literal dark times, though, after one of our twins had her wisdom teeth removed.

We found ourselves planning ahead for the overnight druggings in much the same way we used to divvy up feedings. “I’ll take the 10 p.m. hydrocodone if you can get up at 2 a.m. for the prescription Motrin.” Somehow, I got the short end of the stick with the early morning assignment, and though I like to think I can rise to any challenge, this one kicked my butt. I’m simply too old for such nonsense!

Long ago, when my babies were actually babies, I was the queen of getting up in the middle of the night. I could make an Enfamil bottle one-handed in under a minute by moonlight. Sure, I occasionally fed the wrong kid (even boy/girl twins look identical at 3 a.m.) and would sometimes purposefully ignore the cries of hunger for a few more minutes of sleep, but ultimately I did my job and did it well.

Not so much anymore. Middle age and midnight feedings/patient care do not mix.

The alarm scared me to death because I’d forgotten why I’d set it. My eyes couldn’t read the Rx labels, even after turning on the light. And I nearly killed myself retrieving a cup of water when I tripped over a discarded boot. A far cry from my parenting glory years!

That’s OK, though. I much prefer where I am now. Peace out.

Chose a wedding date strategically. (Submitted photo)

Eleven-step guide to the perfect wedding editorial@youarecurrent.com Every couple wants their wedding to be absolutely flawless. Achieving perfection, however, requires quite a bit of organizing. Here are a few things to remember when planning your big day.

1. Choose the date — Make sure your closest friends and family members will be able to attend. If your sister’s pregnant or your best friend is planning a trip, choose your date strategically.

2. Draft the guest list — Make a list of all the people you’d like to see at your wedding. Keep your budget in mind.

3. Make your reservations — It’s a good idea to book the venues for your ceremony and reception as soon as possible, especially if you’re getting married during the summer.

4. Send out invitations — The earlier you send out your save-the-date cards and invitations, the better. Be sure to ask invitees to RSVP. This also is a good time to designate bridesmaids and groomsmen.

5. Draw up a floor plan — Make sure to visit the venue as many times as you need to. If you’re planning to hire a band, display a slideshow or organize a karaoke session, confirm that the location allows it.

6. Decorate the venue — Get in touch

with your florist and decorator to discuss your ideas and ask for advice. If you’re on a tight budget, consider taking care of the decorating yourself — just make sure you start early.

7. Choose an MC — Who will be the master of ceremonies for the event? Someone you know, or a hired pro? Also, think about the music: band or DJ? 8. Shop for your attire — Don’t forget about makeup and hair trials, and start shopping as early as possible so you can find all the best deals.

Also, think about how you’ll accessorize your outfit for the ceremony.

9. Go to the jeweler’s — Choose your wedding bands wisely—after all, you’ll be wearing them for the rest of your life!

10. Choose the menu — Is your goal to please as many people as possible or to step off the beaten path? Do you need to plan vegetarian options or kid-friendly snacks? Determine what type of meal will be served at your wedding, and don’t forget drinks and desserts.

11. Immortalize the day — Photobooths and disposable cameras are great for capturing candid memories, but you’ll probably want to have a professional wedding photographer on location as well.

Six wedding dress trends editorial@youarecurrent.com Whether you dream of an endless train, a bold two-piece or a ballerina-inspired crinoline, there’s a wedding dress out there that’s just right for you. Here are a few trends to inspire your wedding-day attire.

1. Keep it light — This year, light, airy fabrics are everywhere. Stay clear of thick, compact materials, which weigh down the silhouette. Embroidered feathers are a great way to add an ethereal touch to your gown.

2. Daring necklines — Transparency and lace are popular this season, as are illusion necklines (covered by a light, sheer fabric) and deep, plunging Vnecks. Corsets are essential.

3. 3-D details — These days, the biggest names in haute couture have been showcasing a variety of dresses featuring 3-D floral embellishments. Lace and rhinestones also are stylish ways to add texture to your gown.

4. Bold black — Black has been making an appearance on runways worldwide.

While most designers use it in small touches, some are daring to unveil all-black dresses. Silver, gray-blue and

light blue also are fashion show mainstays this season.

5. Show-stopping shoulders — Bare shoulders are on trend. Popular dress styles include strapless, halter and off-shoulder.

6. Don a bow — Oversized bows are stealing the spotlight, especially as belts. Worn over the shoulders or in the back, they can even replace the traditional train.

Beef & Boards to present Mamma Mia

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Ron Morgan has eagerly awaited when the licensing rights to present “Mamma Mia!” would be released to THEATER regional theaters.

“I was so excited to hear Beef & Boards was including it in their season and very thankful they chose me to direct the show,” Morgan said. “I remember the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and the music of ABBA. Morgan I first saw the show in Chicago and decided I would love to do it someday.”

Morgan also will serve as choreographer for “Mamma Mia!” for 66 performances at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, 9301 Michigan Rd. Indianapolis, from Feb. 1 to April 8.

The story of a mother, a daughter named Sophie and her three possible dads is set on a Greek island paradise and told through Swedish super group ABBA’s tunes. As Sophie prepares to marry, she wants her father to walk her down the aisle. She doesn’t know who her dad is, so she invited all three men to the wedding.

Morgan said the show does provide a need for more rehearsal time.

“The music of ABBA drives this show and the vocal arrangements include a great deal of back-up vocals which require more rehearsal,” said Morgan, who lives in the Castleton area of Indianapolis and owns Carmel-based Performer’s Edge Dance Theatre School for Performing Arts.

Morgan said he was fortunate to be included in the casting of the show, which involved a trip to New York City.

“We had a great turnout at the audition because actors simply want to perform in this show,” Morgan said. “We have a mix of very talented local and NYC actors in this production. I’m really looking forward to putting this one together.”

The cast includes Westfield resident Don Farrell, a co-founder of Actors Theatre of Indiana, and Indianapolis resident Jeff Stockberger.

Morgan expects the show will appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Chainsaws and killer coconuts Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ruins of Basilica A in Resafa, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Resafa: Honoring Sergius Commentary by Don Knebel Resafa is an ancient town near Raqqa, Syria, until recently the de facto capital of the so-called Islamic State. Although most Americans have nevTRAVEL er heard of it, Resafa was once a famous Christian pilgrimage site.

The known history of Resafa goes back to the ninth century B.C., when it was identified in Assyrian texts as a military camp. The Bible reports that the king of Assyria warned Israel that he had captured Resafa (Rezeph) despite the supposed protection of its gods.

The Romans eventually maintained Resafa as a fortification against the Persians.

At least according to legend, a Roman soldier named Sergius was beheaded in Resafa during the reign of Emperor Diocletian for refusing to worship the Roman god Jupiter. Before being killed, Sergius was reportedly ordered to walk around Resafa in women’s clothing, with boards nailed to his feet. Christianity soon became legal in the Roman Empire and Sergius became a celebrated martyr. A church was built over his grave and the site began attracting pilgrims.

In about 425, the town was renamed “Sergiopolis.” A three-aisle basilica, called Basilica A, was later erected to hold relics associated with Sergius and to accommodate the growing crowds. In the sixth century, Byzantine Emperor Justinian erected a mile-long wall, featuring 24 towers and four ornate gates, to protect the town, at the time second only to Jerusalem in attracting Christian pilgrims. Despite the wall and a garrison of soldiers, Sergiopolis fell to the Umayyads in 636, who built a mosque just north of Basilica A. The town was abandoned in the 13th century and fell into ruins.

Today, much of Justinian’s wall, including some of its beautiful gates, remains intact, and portions of the arched walls of Basilica A remain standing. Resafa/ Sergiopolis was retaken from the Islamic State in June 2017, with little reported damage.

Falling coconuts kill an estimated 150 people worldwide every year. Because I don’t want to get killed by a falling coconut, I’m working on a patent for a combination GRAMMAR GUY shield/umbrella, which I’m thinking about calling the shumbrella (coming soon to a Bed Bath & Beyond near you). Falling from a height of 80 feet, coconuts can reach speeds of 50 mph. And, even though I haven’t noticed any coconut trees in Indiana (yet), a coconut could fall out of a plane, get shot out of a cannon or spat out of a really intense geyser, make an impact with my head and kill me. It could happen.

What I really want to know is, when talking about my chances of getting killed by a falling coconut, should I use may or might?

Is it “I may die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut” or “I might die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut?”

When it comes to may or might, it’s a matter of likelihood. If something may happen, it’s more likely than something that might happen. The incredibly unscientific way I remember which one to use is: may = yay; might = yeah, right. As in, may could very well happen (yay) and might has a much smaller probability of occurring (yeah, right).

Based on an incredibly small likelihood, I would correctly say I might die as a result of the impact of a falling coconut. As a left-handed person, I’m much more likely to die from operating a product intended for right-handed people. It happens to approximately 2,500 southpaws each year. And, with my poor track record using traditional, right-handed can openers, I would correctly say I may die while improperly operating equipment intended for righthanded users.

I’m actually a little worried about the statistic about equipment killing lefties. After all, at 10 percent of the world’s population, our quantities are already limited. Let’s just say I’m unlikely to operate a chainsaw anytime soon; I might use a chainsaw, but I probably won’t.
