Master Gardeners to open seed library at CCPL

By Lana Bandy news@currentinwestfield.com

A new library is opening in Hamilton County in March, but you won’t find any books in it.

OUTDOORS The Hamilton County Master Gardeners Association is opening the county’s first-ever seed library at Carmel Clay Public Library.

“A seed library is a collection of openpollinated and heirloom seeds that you can borrow to plant and grow at home or in community gardens,” said Jennifer Lambert, SEEDS committee co-chair. “At the end of the growing season, some seeds are saved from the plants grown and then returned to the library.”

The seed library’s grand opening is set for 2 p.m. March 4 and will consist of a presentation, a guest speaker, goodie bags, light refreshments and a ribbon cutting.

Ben Cohen, who has opened more than 30 seed libraries in Michigan, will do a brief introduction and discuss how a seed library works, how the community participates and why community involvement is important. He also will touch on self-pollinating annuals and the easiest seeds to save and return each year.

The seed library will remain open until October. Anyone with a library card from their home library in Hamilton County (Carmel Clay, Fishers Hamilton East, Noblesville Hamilton East, Westfield Washington, Hamilton North or Sheridan) can check out seeds. Patrons may check out up to five

packets of seeds per visit, for a total of 15 packets per season. The seed library is located next to the checkout desk on the first floor in a cabinet that resembles a card catalog.

CCPL Reference Services Manager Christine Owens said the seed library is a great fit for Hamilton County.

“Gardening books are very popular and gardening programs are always wellattended,” she said. “More people are gardening as a way to know where their food comes from. There is interest in sustainability, and saving seeds provides that, unlike hybrid seeds you buy at the store.

Saving seeds and using them year after year creates seeds that are better suited for your growing area. Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers have community gardens that are inexpensive to rent. Saving seeds saves money.”

The seed library is the brainchild of Master Gardeners Lambert and Shelli Broadbent, who said they got the idea after attending the Master Gardeners’ Conference.

They also were inspired by the popularity of the Indianapolis Public Library’s seed libraries at its Spades and Glendale branches.

In conjunction with the seed library, HCMGA will offer four educational programs at CCPL this year. The first one will be 7 p.m.

March 15, covering direct sowing of coolweather crops and soil preparation. Speakers also will touch on basic indoor seed starting of crops like broccoli, lettuce, kale, radishes, cabbage, peas and beets.

The second program will be in May and will cover fertilizing and pest management. A summer session will focus on harvest season and seed saving. The final program of the year will be on how to put gardens to bed and cover crops.

It was a heart attack.”

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

FIREFIGHTERS GRADUATE FROM PARAMEDIC SCIENCE PROGRAM Firefighters Nathan Young, left, and Colin Fogarty. The Noblesville Fire Dept. announced last month the graduation of two of its firefighters, Fogarty and Young, from the Indianapolis EMS Paramedic Science Program. This graduation gives them the certification to become licensed paramedics in the State of the Indiana. The Paramedic Science Program consists of a 12-month curriculum, which includes 440 hours in the classroom and laboratory, 270 hours in hospital clinical areas and 480 hours on advanced life support ambulances. “We are proud of these men and their accomplishment,” Division Chief of EMS James Macky said. “The time they committed to becoming paramedics was a big sacrifice, not only for them but also for their families. The skills they have learned will be of great value to this department, but more importantly to the community we serve.” Both men will participate in the Noblesville Fire Dept.’s Paramedic Field Training Program, which consists of 240 hours of supervised training, prior to being released to function as paramedics with the department.

Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville dedicates new facility

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Since late 2014, the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville had been working to reach the point it met last week COVER STORY when it held its grandopening celebration.

The new club at 1700 Conner St. in downtown Noblesville has been years in the making because the old club could no longer meet the needs of the only Boys & Girls Club in the county, forcing the organization to split its daily operations between two facilities – the main club at 1448 Conner St. and the Community Center adjacent to the

BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry speaks at the event.

new facility.

The 33,900-square-foot Tom and Soni Sheehan Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville was dedicated Feb. 19 with a ceremony of speakers, including the club’s executive director and board members, capital campaign committee members and a member of the Sheehan family, followed by a ribbon cutting with BGCN staff, board members, community supporters and Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear.

“Watching this building become a reality has been incredible,” BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry said. “The support of each and every person has been amazing. Seeing the smiles, excitement and joy of the kids when they come in the door makes the building come alive.”

The building houses six gymnasiums, a large entry and lobby, a commons area with pool, foosball and air hockey tables and a cafetorium, music room, teen center, kitch-

en, strength-training room, tech center, library, learning center, art room and classrooms office and storage spaces. Outside, the property features a large greenspace, a playground, basketball courts and more.

The club serves approximately 2,100 members. Terry said since the new club has opened, an average of 310 club kids attend after-school programming each day, with a record 355 in January. BGCN also provides two meals each week to its members and a snack each day.

“This is about our community. This is about all of us and about being blessed with the opportunity to do something for kids,” BGCN board member Bryan Mills said. “When these children go through this club, they come out with more than just having a good time or learning how to shoot pool. The things that are done for character and leadership development, for education, socialization, recreation, that’s what the clubs are all about.”

Tracey Sheehan, daughter of Tom and Soni, who the club is named after, spoke to the crowd at the Feb. 19 event on behalf of her parents.

“My parents have been patrons of the Boys & Girls Club since 1988, when Soni actually began volunteering here,” Sheehan told the crowd. “Over the years, they’ve been involved in supporting various causes, but nothing has been more personal than the gift to help build this facility. This gift was made in honor of my brother Tim, who passed away in 1973, one month before his 13th birthday. He fought 18 months with an aggressive form of bone cancer. Tim would love this facility, the pool tables, foosball tables. He would be a little gym rat. Everything about (this facility) would get his wheels spinning beyond belief, and more than anything, we are just so pleased that his memory continues to live on. So, have fun.”

March 19, 2015: BGCN purchases Conner Elementary School.

April 1, 2015: Deb Koontz, owner of Core Planning Strategies, is hired as a project manager for the new building.

Late April 2015: Axis Architecture + Interiors is hired to design the new facility.

June 11, 2015: BGCN makes a presentation to United Way of Indiana, requesting a $1 million grant to help kick off the capital campaign, which was later approved.

Oct. 16, 2016: Tom and Soni Sheehan and the Sheehan Foundation provide the remainder of the $6.9 million goal to build the new club.

Oct. 23, 2016: The Noblesville Common Council approves a $300,000 expenditure to pay for the demolition of the former Conner Elementary School.

January 2017: Hagerman Group is hired as the new club’s general contractor.

Scary trips to the devil’s commode

O B S E R V AT I O N What will they think?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Grandmother always reminded us to keep our business to ourselves. Don’t air our soiled skivvies for all to see. And most of all, behave like the neighbors are watching. Perhaps we might think the constraint a bit too harsh for our modern lives. But, it did tend to emphasize the rightful difference between the public forum and a private life. We learned, rather clumsily at times, how to negotiate what is correct to discuss at the dinner table and yet not suitable for the same table in a neighborhood restaurant.

Come now this time of social media and the instant news cycle to make identifying this imagined line even a much greater challenge. The quaint, if not a bit prudish, admonishment to behave well in public seems decidedly on its way out. Off-handed comments are recorded, clipped and used in all manner of unintended ways. Challenging our suppositions in the company of others is imperative to human flourishing.

So, if we edit ourselves so that there is no private space, where do we explore our notions?

A nearby large city council has been in the news of late. It seems that there are some leadership struggles. Moreover, a pair of its members have been accused of heinous predatory acts against children. We should know about these machinations and take great care in dispensing with them.

But even as central Indiana joins in pursuit of an Amazon headquarters investment, what message are we sending? Can we find a way to fight our battles without vilifying each other? Or is honesty always the best policy? What do the neighbors think?

And, should we care?

It’s official. Our master bathroom toilet has become a portal to hell. And I’m not just saying this because the HUMOR bottom is stained and partially corroded by hard water, impervious to scrubbing, Cloroxing and even CLRing. Nor is this charge the result of postDoo-use brimstone stench, which luckily “Poo-Pourri” and Lysol handle quite nicely.

No, our commode is a gateway to Hades thanks to a motion-activated nightlight that makes the water emanate an eerie green glow. Courtesy of Doo’s co-workers who thought it’d make a hilarious birthday gift, I now face the prospect of evil incarnate at every 2 a.m. lavatory visit.

And the experience is rather disturbing, actually, because each time the toilet “turns on,” it’s as if Satan himself is rising from the depths. So, there I sit, illuminated in all my natural glory, thinking, “If the girl from the Ring tries to crawl out of here, I’m done.”

One positive effect, though, has been the reduction of midnight mishaps, like tripping over shoes and running into walls. Before the highway to hell light, navigating my way to the pot meant carefully placed footsteps and arms held out straight. But now that the devil can sense my presence as soon as I cross the threshold, all I have to do is follow the beautiful, alluring luminosity of my porcelain throne.

Anyhoo, I guess the point is, if something odd or terrible should happen to me, check our master bathroom first. I mean, if the Amityville Horror family could have a well in their basement to welcome Beelzebub, it just seems fitting that we Wilsons would have a john.

Peace out.

Wilson brought a smile to my face Editor, Danielle Wilson, your article (“Daring to discipline” published Feb. 20) brought a smile to my face. I was a single father for five years with two daughters and a son.

One of my daughters was 13 at the time.

get through the day is sad and insulting to the career of parenting. It is also giving validation to a culture of turning to substances to deal with challenges. This is not healthy.

Deciding to be a stay-at-home parent for the time being has been a huge blessing and privilege. I am very aware that many people are not given this “choice,” and that many other people would rather not do it.

I find great meaning in the simple time spent reading or talking with my young children. Our community of Carmel has great resources for parents of young children: Daily library story times, countless churches with MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) groups, awardwinning preschools, numerous toddler programs at the Monon Community Center and wonderful toddler music programs at The Palladium.

Instead of groaning and wishing this time away until we can “ship (our) angels off to school,” let’s celebrate this special time and support parents of young children in positive and healthy ways. Recognize the challenges (because there are many!), but also encourage and lift up these families.

These infants and toddlers are the future of our community, and we get the privilege to watch them grow. I would rather not be drunk for that.

Jen Robinson, Carmel

For this column to imply that parents of young children need scotch or pinot to get through the day is sad and insulting to the career of parenting.

Editor, I am responding to Danielle Wilson’s column last week, entitled “Those were the (exhausting) days,” in which she commented on the long, hard days of having young children. I am currently a stay-athome parent, after leaving my job in academic medicine a few months ago. After juggling 80-hour work weeks and two kids under 2, I longed to be able to actually see my children for more than an hour a day. I yearned to be able to spend time with them, and to be the parent I wanted to be for them.

In Wilson’s column, she instructs the readers to “offer words of condolences or assistance; or a bottle of scotch” to a mom if you see her in the dairy aisle with a cart full of kiddos. I used to work in a children’s hospital. I looked into the eyes of parents of critically ill children every day. They would give anything to be grappling their children in the dairy aisle.

My toughest day with my children could never compare to the suffering and heartache those parents feel on a daily basis.

She also references looking forward to her “5 p.m. goblet of Pinot.” At the medical center, I also worked with children of alcoholics and opiate-addicted parents. We are in an epidemic of addiction in this country.

For this column to imply that parents of young children need scotch or pinot to

This rendering shows the front elevation of the retail and commercial portion of the proposed Hazel Dell Trails and Marketplace development. (Submitted rendering)

Mixed-use development for Ind. 32, Hazel Dell introduced

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council heard an introduction for the Hazel Dell Trails and Marketplace during DEVELOPMENT its Feb. 13 council meeting.

City Development Services Manager Joyceann Yelton presented the proposal. If approved, the development will encompass nearly 23 acres at the southeast corner of Ind. 32 and Hazel Dell Road. It will combine six commercial lots with 70 multi-family townhomes.

In 2006, the area was adopted as a Planned Development Overlay District, and then a developer proposed a commercial/ multi-family use in the area in 2014. The

proposal was withdrawn prior to appearing before council.

“We have a new development coming back proposing to have commercial out front and this area (south portion) back here would be townhomes,” Yelton said. “The Midland Trace Trail backs the south of the townhomes. We are looking at proposing 10 acres of commercial and 12 acres of residential.”

Council members raised concerns about driveway lengths and adequate parking spaces for guests in the townhome portion as well as the creation of a recreation center, although the development claims to have limited space.

Riverview plans to open 4 ER, urgent care centers in Carmel,

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health is expanding its services yet again in central Indiana in the form of four new facilities that will focus solely on emergency DEVELOPMENT and urgent care.

The hospital, headquartered in Noblesville, announced plans to build four new freestanding emergency departments with urgent care services – one in north Carmel, west Carmel, Fishers and the Nora area of Indianapolis. All are expected to be open in 2019.

“As the area continues to grow, the demand for urgent and emergency services has, too,” Riverview Health president and CEO Seth Warren stated in a press release.

“Often, when unplanned medical needs arise, there’s the question of whether or not to go to the emergency room. With the emergency and urgent care combination, patients will have a single convenient access point close to home and be treated accordingly with the same high-quality health care of our full-service hospital in Noblesville.”

According to Riverview officials, the retail model will focus on customer service and treating patients quickly, with limited paperwork. ER services will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while the urgent care hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. An ER physician, regardless

of the level of service needed, will see all patients, who will be billed only for the level of care provided.

“Many visits to the emergency department could be treated in an urgent care setting at a lower cost,” Warren said. “This model eliminates that discrepancy by billing only for the level of care needed, which has the potential to save money for patients, employers and communities.”

Each facility, to be completed in conjunction with North Texas-based Inuitive Health, will be approximately 10,000 square feet and developed by commercial real estate firm Equity and construction firm Meyer Najem.

In addition to its mainstay campus on Ind. 32 in Noblesville, Riverview Health’s newest hospital will open in Westfield this spring. The health organization also has 25 physician practices throughout Hamilton County.

DISPATCHES Walk With a Doc — Aspire Indiana has begun its Walk With a Doc program. The events take place every first and third Saturday of the month from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at Forest Park, 701 Cicero Rd., Noblesville.

Guests can take a walk around the park with local doctors to discuss health topics at no cost.

Akira Barhams, MD, and the staff at Prairie Lakes Family Medicine work together to provide high-quality, individualized care for you and your family. Dr. Barhams specializes in managing chronic illnesses and providing well-woman care. She enjoys working with her patients to educate them about improving their health.

Vacations and asthma — If you have asthma and want to plan a vacation, you may want to avoid certain cities. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American published a list of cities that are difficult for folks with asthma. They include: Memphis, Tenn.; Richmond, Va.; Philadelphia; Detroit; and Oklahoma City, Okla. Ratings were based on frequency of asthma, environment, and health care usage, among others.

Medical trials — At any given time, more than 200,000 medical research studies are under way and many of those need test subjects. Volunteers may receive free treatment, expense reimbursements and even pay for their time. To find a trial, visit ClinicalTrials.gov or EmergingMed.com. A quick review of ClinicalTrials.gov showed more than 6,000 studies in Indiana, including depression in teens, brain injuries in veterans and multiple cancer studies.

Pandemic vs. epidemic — We hear the terms a lot, especially during flu season – pandemic and epidemic. What is the difference? An epidemic is when an infectious disease spreads rapidly to many people, exceeds what is expected and is concentrated in a particular geographic region. A pandemic covers a much larger area and affects more people.

ATI presents ‘Lillian Baxter & Friends’

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkinl@youarecurrent.com “Dressing in drag isn’t something I necessarily enjoy,” singer-actor John Vessels said. “Gluing on false CONCERT eye lashes is like gluing on giant spiders.

And the padding? I don’t have the right kind of Vessels curves. It takes a lot of scaffolding to make me look like a woman.

“It’s a lot of work.”

But it comes with the job. And it’s probably not what you are thinking.

“Lillian Baxter is a lady all the way,” Vessels said. “She’s not a drag queen.

They’re a little different in that Lillian is a nice lady.”

Lillian Baxter, aka John Vessels, and three other “nice ladies” – totally females – will present the world premiere of “Lillian Baxter & Friends: We Enjoy Being a Girl” at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The Actors Theatre of Indiana shows will be at 7:30 p.m. March 9 and 10.

Vessels describes the show as a “revusical” – part revue, part musical.

“The show has a girl-power theme set in 1976, so wear your wide-legged pants,” Vessels said. “It’s a concert, a cabaret, with loads of comedy and lots of reminiscing about the good ol’ days.”

Supporting Baxter are the fictional vaudeville Humperdink Sisters, friends

from Baxter’s showbiz past, and pianist Corky Weinstopper, Baxter’s third and favorite of her seven ex-husbands. A gay partner with Baxter’s pool boy, Weinstopper wears elegant pajamas when he plays.

Weinstopper is actually Jay Schwandt, Vessels’ real-life partner who also arranges the music for all of the shows.

The Humperdink sisters are all local – ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia

John Vessels plays as Lillian Baxter.

Collins and special events and entertainment coordinator for the Indiana State Fair Commission, Bobbi Bates – all standout vocalists.

“The twist on our show is that the sisters haven’t realized they are not little girls anymore,” Vessels said. “They are trying to find their grown-up voices.”

Vessels created Lillian as a has-been MGM movie star. Actually, he “stole” it from himself after he originally had set out to write the show for a female singer. Then one day, Schwandt asked Vessels if he thought the character could be played by a man.

“Oh, maybe,” was Vessels’ response. “Then what we found out along the way was that I could sing in the same key as an Irish tenor and an old belter from the MGM days and Julie Andrews. I could sing in the old belter keys, so we wrapped the first show (there are now three) around that. From there I just made her up.”

The final character was a mediocre 1950s-60s performer during the days at MGM, who advanced to a short TV career on such hit shows as the “Thrifty Vittles Happy-Time Song Hour.” Despite her failure to reach real stardom, that never stopped her from spinning her tales with never-ending pride and joy.

“She is a classy dame, no matter the circumstance,” said Vessels, a familiar face on the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage.

What Vessels likes most about portraying Baxter is the reaction he gets from the audience.

“The crowds have been really, really responsive,” he said. “The shows are funny, but there’s also a lesson to be learned and a little heart to each show that kind of surprises the audience. When that dawns on them, well, watching that light come on thrills me.”

Wright’s book signing set editorial@youarecurrent.com Camel resident Tim Wright will have a book signing for “The Valley Boys,” from noon to 4 p.m. March 10 at Coats Wright Fine Art & Design in the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd., Suite 122.

The book is the story of the 1957-58 Springs Valley Black Hawks, who reached the state high school basketball semifinals.

The season was the first of consolidation of West Baden and French Lick high schools.

The book is available through Lulu Publishing at lulu.com . For more, visit wtimothywright.com.

“Tim Wright weaves the story of how this unusually successful basketball season brought two towns together,” former Milan star Bobby Plump said in a press release.

“People told me they thought the days of the ‘David vs. Goliath’ Indiana tournament basketball games could never happen again. But only four years later, here comes little Springs Valley to the state tournament Final Four.”

Westfield — Steve Fulton will perform live music at Urban Vines, 303 E. 161st St., from 7 to 10 p.m. March 2.

Where to go: Rackz BBQ Where it is: 5790 E. Main St., Suite 140, Carmel When it’s open: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Mark’s take: If the thought of great tasting barbecue sounds tantalizing and delicious, then try Rackz BBQ, the newest addition to Carmel. Featuring a menu that offers a variety of entrees, this eatery will satisfy that barbecue craving. Whether you’re dining in with the family, catching the big game or carrying out, you’ll enjoy Rackz BBQ. What to get: Bring an appetite for this one becauase portions run big. What I found to be the most appetizing was the combo platter, the brisket and pulled pork.

There are three sauce choices: sweet, tangy and spicy. I lean tangy. Add baked beans and fries for sides and a Wee Mac for your beverage.

What’s the cost: Entrees run $12 to $27.

Combo platter of pulled pork and brisket.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modernized Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background Info: This 1920s home is in the historic Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The owners have been in this beautiful home for many years with the intent to make it their “forever home.” It just needed a few updates to make it perfect home for them!

The main focus of the kitchen remodel was to open up the space and make it function better for the owner while creating a cohesive design that flows nicely with the rest of the home.

1. One of the largest changes came from enlarging the footprint of the kitchen by expanding into the butler’s pantry. This created more space in the kitchen and allowed for better flow.

2. Another major change came from replacing all of the cabinetry and countertops, in addition to adding a built-in island for counter space.

3. The backsplash was replaced with a traditional white subway tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a stainless steel rangehood was added above the stove, giving the space a modern yet traditional look.

4. For more details, visit out blog!

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The kitchen was not only dated but lacked overall functionality. It was very small and connected to the rest of the home by two narrow doorways. The lack of open space made it hard to utilize the kitchen to its full potentional.

3 quick ways to free up space Commentary by Krista Bocko

There’s something special about these long winter nights, where life’s rhythm changes a bit. They make DECLUTTER me want to do some purging and organizing and get life in order. It’s the perfect time, too, because after the holidays my house can sure use a re-set. Here are three ways to free up some space: Re-organize kitchen cabinets. Yeah, it sounds like a dreary chore, but I am always glad when I do this. Gather similar items, i.e., all baking dishes and pans, all kitchen tools and utensils, all pots and pans, glassware, etc. Consider whether you need or use all of them and if it makes sense to keep all of them.

Take consumables out of their original packaging. I love to do this in my pantry with dry goods like rice, beans, flour, sugar and so on, and I put them in a variety of jars which look so much better. And in bathrooms, rolls of toilet paper go into baskets.

Go through bookshelves. There are many books I won’t part with, but at the

One way to organize the look of a bookcase is to put books together by color.

same time, my kids acquire many books that they read and are done with, so I pass them on to the library book sale.

It’s a great feeling to have everything in its place and free up space for new, good things to come into your life.
