Plan commission favors hotel, convention center

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At its Feb. 16 meeting, the Noblesville Plan Commission forwarded the development plan for a hotel and the city’s development first potential convention center.

To be built on 15 acres on the southeast side of Noblesville, east of Hamilton Town Center, the proposal by Sun Development & Management Corp. would bring a 198room, seven-story hotel and Patel 20,000-square-foot convention center, along with five commercial outlots.

Within the plan, the developer is requesting several waivers – many because of size and scope. For example, typical signage for a development in the corporate campus would have a maximum area of 500 square feet. However, the developer is requesting 3,050 square feet of signage to be allowed because of the potential need for signage on the commercial outlots and an increased amount because of the size of the hotel and convention center.

The project was first introduced to the Noblesville Common Council in fall by the Mayor’s Office, and at the council’s Oct. 13 meeting, more than $6 million – to be paid through a bond issue – in investments by the city were approved, along with a 10-year tax abatement plan to Sun Development Management Corp, to end in 2029.

Approximately $4 million of the $6 million would be an investment into the conference center, which would have the capacity to hold

up to 1,000 people, according to Sun Development CEO Bharat Patel.

The hotel, an Embassy Suites, would also house an additional 5,000 square feet of conference and meeting space, and both facilities would bring approximately 70 full-time jobs and up to 25 part-time jobs.

In October, city attorney Mike Howard said the land had an assessed value of approximately $34,000 as farm ground but that the investment would garner in excess of $30 million.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Boy Scouts Troops and their leaders and volunteers have $60,000 more in their pockets fundraiser after this year’s Noblesville Mayor’s Breakfast for Scouting, held Feb. 9 at the Hamilton Co. 4-H Fairgrounds.

With more than 300 in attendance, the fundraiser’s results and guest count were right on par with last year’s figures, said Crys Gilliat, development assistant for the Boy Scouts of America Crossroads of America Council.

Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said the funds will provide scholarships and services to 994 Scouts and 438 adult volunteers. He continued, saying last year’s fundraising aided more than 1,200 scouts

In 2015, 22 Noblesville Boy Scouts earned the rank of Eagle Scout – something only approximately 4 percent of Scouts achieve – and more than 3,351 hours of community service were worked.

For more, visit currentnoblesville.com.

If approved, both the hotel and conference center are expected to open by the end of 2017, with construction beginning as early as this spring.

The Noblesville Common Council will vote on the development plan at its Feb. 23 meeting at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 16 S. 10th St., Noblesville.

Hamilton Co. Commissioner Christine Altman helped craft legislation that created the Central Indiana Regional Transit Authority (CIRTA) in 2004. She served as CIRTA’s first board president and played a critical role in recruiting suburban counties to the organization. She was president until 2014 and continues to serve on the board.

The first three original “Star Wars” movies offer some deep and meaningful lessons woven throughout the story counseling line. It’s interesting to look at them from a psychological perspective. Even if you have not seen the movies, that is okay. There are some helpful themes that can be applied to daily life.

The Jedi masters’ teachings are powerful. It is really about what we believe to be true that determines whether or not we have the “force.”

Our beliefs determine the outcome and how we feel. If we focus on negative and hate towards yourself and others, then we are focusing on the dark side. If we try to see the good, spread love, support others and build connections, then we are focusing on the light side.

Darth Vader believed he wasn’t enough.

So, he shifted to the dark side to feel more powerful. In the end, when he allowed himself to feel, he connected to the light side. He always had the light within, which showed at the end of “Return of the Jedi.” Not feeling

good enough drove a lot of his decisions and behaviors. He wanted to feel powerful and important.

Our beliefs play a huge role in how you see yourself and the world around you. Take time to be aware of your beliefs and how they shape how you feel. We all have so called dark and light within each of us. No one is all good or all bad. We all make mistakes and are imperfect. It’s how we look at these mistakes and feelings. Do you look for your worth by trying to be perfect or powerful by achieving?

Do you focus on the negative and breed hate?

Research shows that the happiest people feel all of their feelings, see they are imperfect and work on building healthy connections with others. Start by exploring what you believe about yourself and make a choice see the light within you.

On Jan. 12, Ridder was named director cover story of the organization’s Smart Steps program, a program that teaches body safety to elementary-age kids in schools and child care facilities all over the state. She is now working in her fourth school year educating students.

In November, she celebrated her third anniversary working at Chaucie’s Place.

“Pretty much how I spend most of my days is traveling around to the different schools,” Ridder said. “I usually visit one school a day, and I have a phenomenal team of volunteers …

They’re trained volunteers that meet me at the school, and we give presentations to children in their classroom.”

The program takes place in kindergarten, second grade and fourth grade classrooms. Once the presentation is over, students have the opportunity to ask questions. In the fourth grade rooms, students are asked to fill out a talk slip.

“Basically, it just asks them a question. They have to check the answer that best describes them, like, ‘Yes, I have been touched on a private part,’ or, ‘No, I have not.’ Then the (school) counselor and I, based on who says yes, will visit with those children one-on-one to have an easy conversation to figure out exactly what’s going on. Based on those conversations, we either make a report to (the Dept. of Child Services), or we don’t. Last year we made 10 reports to DCS. It’s probably going to be double that this year.”

Already in this school year, Ridder said 12 reports have been made to DCS. In the 2014-15 school year, the program was presented to nearly 19,000 kids, a 17 percent increase over the previous year. Ridder said the program will easily reach 20,000

this year, as they teach it in 92 elementary schools and childcare facilities.

“The program not only impacts children directly, but also their friends and their siblings and anybody they’re going to share their knowledge with. If you can teach one child and stop it with one child, think of the ripple effect it has,” Ridder said. “The program teaches child sexual abuse, but it also gives children a voice, which a lot of times they don’t realize they have. It empowers them to say no to unwanted touches.”

All public Hamilton Co. school districts, including Noblesville Schools, along with Our Lady of Grace in Noblesville participate in the program. New this year, Noblesville Schools began offering the program to Kindergarten classes and previously had the program in second and fourth grade.

Ridder said the education often transcends to teachers and parents as well, giving them an open door to be able to discuss the otherwise sensitive subject with their children.

Before going into a district to teach the 25-minute program to classrooms each year, Ridder and volunteers hold a parent night. For adults, Chaucie’s Place offers Stewards of Children training, teaching adults how to discuss child sexual abuse and react to a child’s disclosure of information. At Noblesville Schools, all educators go through the Stewards of Children training.

On April 27, the organization will hold its annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. at Ritz Charles in Carmel. Tickets are $10.

Meet lisa ridder Family: Husband, Kurt, and daughters, Kate and Hope, both students at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School.

Background: Worked in sales and marketing before Chaucie’s Place. Previously lived in California before moving to Indiana.

Has lived in Hamilton Co. since 1998.

Career at Chaucie’s Place: “I started off as just a general volunteer (in 2012). I liked what they were doing. I liked that they were on the prevention education side of it. I honestly wasn’t even looking for a job … but then there was an opening for a prevention education coordinator. That first year, we reached 10,500.” Ridder is now the director of the Smart Steps program.

“One in 10 children are sexually abused before their 18th birthday, and 90 percent of the time its by someone they know.”

Pulling the trigger on the kitchen

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s your dough they’re using Outgoing Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann said recently the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Office of Tourism Development have launched the latest round of the Place Based Investment Fund. It gives cities and towns throughout Indiana the opportunity to apply for grants to support community and economic development projects. We’re all about making life better in every corner of this state, but we also believe it is important that everyone understand grant money actually is taxpayer money, and therefore it’s yours.

••• Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told the Washington Examiner earlier this month the Select Committee on Benghazi, which he chairs, is pressing on with its controversial investigation. Gowdy said he believes it could result in findings being up for public consumption before likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) faces voters on Election Day. This squares nicely with the public’s right to know.

••• Here’s a debate we’d really like to see: Clinton vs. Chris Christie (R-N.J.). With his prosecutorial expertise, we have to believe the former secretary of state would be reeling just minutes into it.

••• We watched with equal parts horror and amusement a video of University of Oregon students, supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Asked a series of questions, not one student could provide a substantive answer. The sheep-ish mentality is alarming.

Object lesson Commentary by Terry Anker These last few of my birthdays have found my children getting into a groove in the gift giving department. When they were young, a finger painted piece of construction paper would be delivered (and received) with unbounded pride and satisfaction. They were certain and secure in the knowledge that I’d love it – and, they were right. I did.

My expectations and their desire to give came into perfect alignment. As we grew older, their thoughts and my desires drifted a bit. Birthdays, other than their own, brought a sense of foreboding, a concern that they’d not be able to deliver something that I might like or enjoy. And, I, at times, took their insecurity as indicating a waning interest in us as their parents. Maybe, I even felt a little sorry for myself.

Then in recent years, our boys – now maturing nicely into fine young Americans – have brought an indication of anticipation and excitement into the exchange. They

have, as they once did, extoled me with their confidence of how much I will love their gift. Rightly deciding that a gift doesn’t have to come from a department store, they have taken to giving me gifts of their time.

They’ve promised, and followed through, on finding activities that we could enjoy together and committing themselves to it.

And like them, I’ve committed just the same.

Isn’t the notion of making a gift to someone about showing them that we honor them, and what they seek, as much as we find our own joy in the giving? It is often said that it is impossible to “buy” for we men of a certain age. Anything we want, we already have. True. But perhaps, we’ve missed the point. Is it possible that a gift is a commitment and not an object?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Remember, happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

– Dale Carnegie

It has begun. Today we pulled the trigger on our kitchen remodel, and for your reading pleasure, I promise humor to keep you updated on the inevitable bad choices, measurement snafus and stress-induced tirades that can only come from feeding a family of six with nothing but a microwave and a can opener.

The redo is a long time in the making. Our house has not been updated in 20 years, and the kitchen in particular is showing signs of major wear and tear.

Drawer faces are falling off, cabinets aren’t closing, and the all-white appliances aren’t so white anymore. The only part that has stood the test of time are the countertops, which despite my numerous attempts to stain, burn and permanently damage them, remain obnoxiously stuck in their perfect 1990s laminate glory.

Interestingly, it was a commode catastrophe that finally got us ready to begin this massive undertaking: tree roots broke into the main sewer line, made a comfy little home for themselves, and then caused a massive blockage that sent fecal-contaminated water down our back hall, into a bedroom, and through the vents to the finished basement below. It was so not awesome, but the silver lining is we were able to make a claim on our homeowner’s insurance and gain approval for new flooring in the adjacent kitchen. In the grand tradition of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” one home improvement led to another, and here we are.

Our goal is to have everything complete

by May, just in time for our fabulouslysouthern Kentucky Derby party. Personally, I don’t understand why it should take more than a week to install cabinets, place a countertop, lay the floor and slide in a new fridge. Seriously, how hard is that? But my husband Doo assures me we’ll be kitchenless for at least three, probably more and that at least one delay will occur.

So we’ll see. Hopefully our handy man and various vendors come through, and nothing goes haywire, but knowing my luck, I’ll have plenty to write about. You’re welcome in advance. Peace out.

coffees across hamilton county

Where to warm up with a cup of joe

Dispatches Commentary by Jason Conerly

Geist: Global village coffee

Carmel: eggshell bistro

The best brews from Africa

A little taste of Europe, in the middle of Carmel

I was always told that the best coffee comes from Africa.

Well, I was always told that by my friend Daniel, who spent a good portion of his life living in Zambia. If Daniel had coffee from Global Village Coffee in Geist, he would probably be impressed.

Serving Ethiopian coffee, Global Village Coffee truly stands out against other places that serve coffee.

The coffee is earthy and sweet. Not sweet in a sense of use of artificial sweeteners, but a mild fruit-flavored sweetness.

The lattes are well balanced as well and it is easy to taste the natural flavor of the coffee without being overwhelmed by anything else that is added to the latte. Overall, the coffee is good and contains a lot of flavor.

Maybe my friend was onto something when he told me the best coffee comes from Africa. It was good to try Ethiopia first.

I felt like I was in Europe.

The Eggshell Bistro seemed like it would fit right in, in France or Italy, which is good, considering the culturally different ways the coffee is brewed to achieve different tastes. This includes the Japanese Siphon technique of brewing coffee.

The coffee that the Eggshell Bistro serves is unique. The “Three Africans” blend is delicious. Served black, it is by far a very smooth cup of black coffee.

It is strong, yet the taste is smooth and there is no overpowering bitterness to it as one might find with an “Americano.” One of its best qualities is that there is virtually no aftertaste after drinking the cup of coffee.

The lattes also offered by the Eggshell Bistro are nice as well. It has more of a creamy texture and highlights the natural taste of the coffee.

Eggshell Bistro is located in Carmel City Center.

Fishers: Sure shot coffeE

noblesville: noble coffee and tea company

Long lines, but coffee worth waiting!

Coffee better than the conventional brews

Who gets up very early on a Saturday just to wait in line with lots of people just to get coffee? Apparently, me.

It was the grand opening of Sure Shot Coffee at Vardagen in downtown Fishers and the wait for coffee was worth it. The coffee itself tastes fresh and has an earthy taste. The lattes are well balanced and does not taste too sweet nor does it taste bitter.

The cold-brewed coffee is worth tasting. I would recommend this for fans of iced-black coffee. It is served extremely cold, and without ice.

Another interesting menu item is “The Undertow.” It gives a hot and cold sensation once one drinks it. It is served as two espresso shots and packs a punch. There is a seating area on the second floor to relax as well.

Would I wait in line with all those people for coffee again?

Definitely.

“Friends don’t let friends drink…” Well, you know how the rest goes. That’s the first thing that I see walking into Noble Coffee and Tea Company in downtown Noblesville, a sign that reads how friends shouldn’t let friends buy over-priced, popularbrand coffee. The menu here is fairly simple to understand and seating is in a separate room apart from where coffee is ordered. If you are new to the coffee shop, the baristas are helpful in making a decision on a cup to drink. After having my first cup, I quickly understood why the sticker was on their front door. Their coffee had an extremely smooth and rich flavor to it.

The brew did not taste like a dark roast or light roast, but something that had characteristics of both. If flavors are added, the flavors are not overbearing, and do not mask the taste of the coffee. Instead, the flavors blend together with the coffee to make a balance.

The Warehouse – The Warehouse in Carmel will have performances all through the year.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom. There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step. Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral

23

third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement.

A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Heidi Pops continues expansion

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Heidi Greene quit her day job to follow her dream, opening Heidi Pops gourmet popcorn stores across central Indiana. food In August 2014, Greene and her husband, Russ, opened their very first Heidi Pops store in Plainfield before opening the Noblesville store in July 2015. In between, they opened fully operational kiosk locations in Greenfield and Ft. Wayne, and now, they’ve just opened their newest store in Clay Terrace.

“This is it. This is the big expansion in a short frame of time,” said Greene, who added she doesn’t plan to continue to open any more stores in the near future.

The couple, who currently live in Plainfield but are looking to move back to Hamilton Co., boasts its wide variety of flavor options, with new ones being created continuously.

“We have over 60 flavors, so I think we’re at 62 right now, maybe 63,” said Greene, who keeps a running list of new flavor ideas.

“We’re always inventing new ones. Our new flavor is Breakfast at Heidi Pops. Think pancake syrup, and we use real bacon.”

All flavors are not made each day, but are available to order. Most fruit and candyflavored popcorns are available in sealed packages at the stores and kiosks. Green said special orders are common though.

“To do the flavors all the time and have a consistent quality to them, it’s a lot of work.

We use top quality products,” Green said.

Heidi and Russ Greene, owners of five Heidi Pops stores across central Indiana, recently opened their newest location at Clay Terrace.

“We use real butter, real sugar. We melt our cheese down, so it’s not a powdered or reconstituted cheese.”

Before opening the first store, Greene worked at ADP as an executive assistant in the sales department, and Russ is a retired Army major in addition to always working in the corporate executive environment.

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do. So, I was always scoping out little areas and stuff,” Green said. “We wanted to have our own business, and probably for 11 or 12 years now, this is something I’ve wanted to do. So we were at an age where we said it was either time to do it or don’t do it.”

The Shard from the Tower of London. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Shard: A new symbol of London?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Critics of London’s “Shard” say it resembles broken glass. Erecting that building, the tallest in the Europe Union, required breaking barriers, both aesthetic and technical. travel In 2000, Irvine Seller, a London developer, got the idea of erecting a vertical city on the site of a building he owned just south of the River Thames, across from the Tower of London. Wanting not only to erect a building but to make a statement, he met in Berlin with Italian architect Renzo Piano, who sketched the design of an irregularly-shaped glass pyramid on a restaurant napkin. Seller immediately embraced the design concept, inspired by the masts of Thames sailing ships and London church spires, but a number of London heritage groups did not.

One said the proposed building would be like“a shard of glass through the heart of historic London.” After an expensive public inquiry, the design was approved and the derision was adopted as the building’s official name.

The site on which the Shard was to be

erected was closely surrounded by other buildings, including a hospital, which required demolishing the existing 24-story building piece by piece. To save time and money, 23 stories of the concrete central core of the new building, to which the floors are attached, were completed before the basement had been excavated, a technique called “top down” construction that had never been used on a skyscraper. The concrete core rose nearly 10 feet a day, with the forms aligned using GPS, another technique new to skyscrapers.

Completed in 2012, the Shard is 1,016 feet high and incorporates 11,000 panes of glass, enough to cover more than 10 football fields.

The glass reflects the changing colors of the sky, creating what some are beginning to regard as the new symbol of London. Critics are not sure they like that idea.
