Council hears updated Finch Creek bond request

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Parks Director Brandon Bennett brought an updated bond request for Finch Creek Park to the Noblesville Common Council PARKS at its Feb. 13 meeting.

Bennett previously presented the $11.3 million project before council and received direction to make some cuts to the project to reduce costs. He returned to the finance committee prior to council with a proposed Bennett reduction to $10.3 million and asking for $7 million in bonds. The committee requested he add a few plans to the project, such as lighting around the pickleball, basketball and tennis courts and keeping the trailhead restroom. Those suggestions raised the bond request to $7.5 million, with $100,000 of that going toward a different project.

The bond would pay for a portion of Phase 1 of Finch Creek Park, which encompasses 27 acres. The entire plan is to include 200 acres in the park. The first phase would include constructing shelters, restrooms, courts, trails and more.

“This will eventually be built out to a 200acre park that will serve the east side of Noblesville,” Bennett said. “We don’t currently have a park east of (Ind.) 37, and we know our population growth is just exploding out there.”

The entire park will be built out in multiple phases over several years, but Bennett said

KEYSTONE AVE

There has been a lot of local discussion about railroads lately, and, since March is Women’s History Month, HIGHLIGHTS I thought I might show IN HISTORY how the railroads offered 19th-century women some non-traditional roles: telegraph operators and stations agents.

Agents had to sell tickets, operate the telegraph, hand off orders to train crews and handle mailbags. Since the latter two usually were done while the train was in motion, this required some skill.

Josephine “Josie” McCain was appointed the Hortonville postmaster in 1901 at the age of 20, just after she had graduated from Union High School in Westfield.

Bertha McVey (1874-1939) was hired as a telegraph operator at the Noblesville Midland station in 1891 when she was little more than a teenager.

Women were highly regarded (but paid less) as telegraph operators in the 1800s.

Since railroad stations often were the focus of community activity, some station agents saw some exciting times. Olive “Ollie” McChesney (1859-1929) was a young

widow who was station agent at Fishers in 1880. It’s very possible she was at her job during the Battle of Mudsock, an explosion of violence in November 1881 that left one dead and Women often carried mailbags as part of their many 32 injured. duties. (Image courtesy of Ollie would Hamilton East Public Library) have been the person to send a telegraph message to Noblesville to alert the sheriff, literally while the bullets were flying. The sheriff arrived by handcar, and Ollie would have been the first person he would have seen.

Transforming transportation Noblesville Schools opens transportation center

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools officially has opened its long-awaited, $10.5 million transportation center, a project COVER STORY that began in July 2016.

District and City of Noblesville officials cut the ribbon on the 27,000-square-foot facility at 19790 Hague Rd., next to Noblesville West Middle School on Feb. 23.

The new center replaces the previous 4,000-square-foot facility on Field Drive near Noblesville High School.

“Our former transportation center was built in 1978, when Noblesville Schools served approximately 4,000 students, and couldn’t provide the space we need today to serve over 10,000 students,” Supt. Beth Niedermeyer said. “Our new facility significantly increases capacity, providing room we need for our bus fleet, maintenance bays, office management, meeting space, driver parking and storage.”

The former transportation facility only had the capability of housing two buses at a time in its maintenance bays and had limited room for mechanics to efficiently service buses in need of repairs.

“Whenever you build a project in a school district, it’s a lengthy and complex process.

It started in July of ’16 with a public hearing, then construction bids, which were awarded in December 2016, and construction began in January 2017,” Niedermeyer said. “There are always going to be some delays. We had some weather delays.

Would you imagine that there would be record rainfall in 2017?”

In addition, hurricanes Irma and Harvey delayed the delivery of construction materials. Soil issues at the site also caused delays.

In January, transportation staff relocated to the Hague Road building, and bus routes have been running from there since school resumed after winter break.

“With almost 200 different routes, our 100-plus buses and drivers travel approximately 1.2 million miles each year, safely transporting 9,300 students a day to 10

school buildings and locations as far away as downtown Indy and Beech Grove,” Niedermeyer said. “The work they do is an important part of supporting students. We’re

also proud that our transportation mechanics have had a perfect safety inspection rate for 31 consecutive years.”

District officials said the location was chosen because of its accessibility for bus routes and infrastructure design. As a bonus, the district already owned the land.

District officials also have said the location next to West Middle School will help address a parking shortage at the school, particularly during evening events.

The district also worked with the city and Indiana Dept. of Transportation to study traffic impact, incorporate a maximum setback off the road and add landscaping buffers to address any sight or noise concerns from neighbors.

Construction was financed through construction bonds. There were no increased taxes for residents and no referendum dollars spent on the project.

“This transportation center is one of those basic, foundational pieces of all the work that we do,” Niedermeyer said. “If you think about it, the bus drivers, they are the first and the last staff members to have a connection with our students every day.

The relationships that they develop are so important.”

FUN FACT: The transportation center’s team of mechanics has received a 100 percent pass rate on its state safety inspection for 31 consecutive years.

Evolution of life

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For some, reading and study is the key to all things. For others, experience is required to achieve adequate understanding.

Still, for most of us, we construct a reasonable composite of the two. We read, then do, then read a bit more and repeat. During the span of a long lifetime, we come to accumulate a conception about which things are best experienced blindly and which absolutely require some preparation.

American author Heidi Murkoff can claim the sales of more than 19 million copies of her iconic book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” First-time parents around the world (and more than a few who are taking a refresher course) have found preknowledge imperative to managing the process. Like most successful ventures, this one has inspired countless sequels and imitators. The “What to Expect” series has sold tens of millions of copies and is published in more than 30 languages.

Is there a seminal book for each precipice in life? Is there one that will make our transition to marriage, pet ownership or midlife better understood? And, can we learn to “expect” all of the future machinations yet to come? It may be more fun to plan for an upcoming wedding than to adjust to life after divorce or death, but can’t we learn and prepare for either with the same sense of nervous anticipation?

There is a certain power to be found in knowing, preparing and practicing.

But with it can come a sense of anxiety, insecurity and worry. If ours is life everevolving, isn’t it better to embrace it expectantly, not begrudgingly? It may be the only choice we have.

READER’S VIEW Why I’m supporting Matt Milam Editor, I am supporting Matt Milam for Hamilton County commissioner in his race against incumbent Christine Altman for several reasons. Matt is opposed to additional taxes, especially an income tax, to pay for mass transit in our suburban county. Ms. Altman is one of the leading proponents of higher taxes for mass transit.

As Matt’s campaign treasurer, I called nine of the largest donors to Ms. Altman’s campaign in 2017 to see if they wanted to speak with Matt so he could learn their concerns. These donors are engineers and contractors. Is it possible they want both a fully funded road system as we now have and additional tax money to engineer and build an unnecessary mass transit system? I don’t know, since no one has indicated they want to meet with Matt to discuss what interests them so much in Hamilton County politics that they have helped Ms. Altman amass a $158,000 campaign war chest through

the years, despite having no opposition recently.

She also serves as the attorney for two of the nine townships in our county.

At a commissioner meeting Feb. 17, 2015, Altman asked the client of Christine Altman, the Wayne Township Trustee, “if she had any concerns.” I do have concerns: Where does Commissioner Christine Altman end and where does attorney Christine Altman, begin?”

Let’s let her focus on her legal clients, her tax bills and bids, her business ventures and advocating for unpopular and unnecessary mass transit income taxes as a private citizen, and let’s let Matt Milam focus on the citizens of Hamilton County by nominating him May 8. Please visit matt4hc.com to help end Commissioner Altman’s long and undistinguished reign.

Eric S. Morris, Home Place Treasurer, Friends of Matt Milam For the full letter, visit youarecurrent.com.

A former neighbor has been bugging me to spice things up a bit (yes, you, JM!), so here goes nothing. As an HUMOR educator, I find the prospect of arming teachers utterly ridiculous. You can agree or disagree, but trust me when I say we are the last people you want packing heat.

First, most schools are already prisonlike. We sentence kids to 12 years of highly structured days where they can’t even use the restroom when they want. If you add a bunch of armed guards, aka “teachers,” you’re only a barbed-wire fence away from Shawshank High. I prefer not to work at a state penitentiary, and I certainly don’t want my own children incarcerated in one (Wilson Family goal No. 6: Avoid penal institutions at all costs!). I’m there to teach, not to patrol the halls with my Glock.

Second, most teachers would make terrible shots. I took a handgun class a few years ago in preparation for the zombie apocalypse and also have spent time with my husband, Doo, an avid hunter, “learnin’ me some rifle shootin.’” If I had an hour or so, I could maybe load the thing, fire off a few rounds and hit a paper target, perhaps once. Unless someone plans to send me to sniper training and offer professional development sessions in marksmanship every week for the rest of my career, I will not be effective in a crisis situation. My medium is chalk, friends, not bullets!

Obviously, something must change in our nation, and we need to engage in conversations about meaningful, realistic solutions.

But trust me, arming teachers is not the answer.

Peace out.

Doctor highlights heart health

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Sinus & Allergy Seminar Join Dr. Michael Agostino, a board-certified ear, nose and throat specialist, to learn more about common sinus and allergy issues and the latest treatments. A light dinner will be served.

When: Wednesday, March 21 6-7 p.m.

Coming off of Heart Health Month, Dr. Emily Ruden has created some initiatives to educate women on PREVENTION preventative methods for heart disease..

Ruden, a cardiologist who runs the Women’s Heart Clinic at Hamilton Heart in Noblesville, offers a prevention clinic for women who may not have heart disease but possibly Ruden have risk factors.

Women’s Heart Clinic is affiliated with Riverview Health.

“Women’s Heart Month is a campaign that’s been around for awhile now to get the word out,” Ruden said. “Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women and tends to be a silent disease until it’s not. Women are typically the last to take care of themselves. They take care of everyone else and don’t think about their risk and health until everyone else is taken care of.”

Ruden said common risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. To help prevent heart disease, she said the most important thing is to quit smoking. She recommends meeting with a primary care doctor to talk about heart disease when women reach their late 40s or early 50s.

Riverview Health offers the following screening options for those concerned about their heart health: • Heart scan: This scan is $49 and offered to men older than 35 and women older than 40. To schedule an appointment, visit riverview.org/heartscan.

• Vascular Screening Package: This screening package is $79 and includes a carotid artery screening, an abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and an ankle brachial index test. To schedule an appointment, visit riverview.org/ vascularpackage.

Despite the preventative measures, Ruden said there’s no heart test that fits all.

For more or to schedule a visit to Ruden’s prevention clinic, call 317-773-7711.

Sponsored in part by

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School will perform “The Little Mermaid” for the first time, and the cast will MUSICAL add twists to some of the scenes.

The rendition of the 1989 Disney film follows the story of Ariel, a mermaid who wants to become human and what she’s willing to do to make the wish come true.

Ethan Mathias, an HSE teacher who serves as the director of staging and vocal direction, said there are a few differences in the performance compared to the movie.

Some scenes cannot work with the high school’s set, such as when the character of Eric steers his ship into Ursula in the movie.

“It’s different in how it ends and in terms of the size of some of the parts, like Ariel’s sisters are featured some more and Eric is featured a little more,” Mathias said. “It’s all the same faces, it’s just been augmented a little bit.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. March 8 to 10, with a 2 p.m. matinee performance on March 10. Performances will take place in the Leonard Auditorium at the high school,

13910 E. 126th St. Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for senior citizens and $8 for students and children.

“I think people will really enjoy seeing a story they’re familiar with told in a brand new way with all of the same great music they remember from the movie with some visually stunning aspects to the production and a lot of kids that are very talented and very passionate about what they’re doing,” Mathias said.

Wine for an Easter menu Commentary by Elizabeth Morse The promise of spring is peeking through now and then. It’s not nice weather, but you can celebrate this WINEderlust transition with some lighter wines as we ramp up to patio season. The bottles I’m going to suggest also are great choices with traditional Easter meals.

Serving salad that features asparagus is a great first course for a spring meal. I’m planning to make one that has fresh goat cheese and toasted walnuts. Domaine Moreux “Cuvée des Lys” Sancerre Rosé is my suggestion. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes and reminds me of fragrant strawberries, cherries and apricots. The acidity is bright and could be paired successfully with a strawberry and spinach salad, too ($23).

Next up: salty-sweet baked ham. I like to glaze ham, which would make pairing a big red wine, well, not good. Those flavors tend to clash. I’m opting for a light, yet flavorful and zesty Lambrusco. I’m not talking about the super-sweet cheap stuff. Try this tasty

sparkler: Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce ($18ish). Great for family gatherings since it’s low in alcohol. An excellent choice with a great piece of Parmesan cheese, too.

The finale of my Easter meal is a bakerystyle white cake with vanilla frosting. It’s often decorated with hundreds of jelly beans and maybe a Peep or two. You can go two directions here. If you really like bubbles, go with Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti. This is a terribly pretty and fragrant wine from Italy that is a bit sweet, $12 for a 375-millilitre bottle. If it’s a chilly day and you’re looking for something more serious, opt for Bodegas Dios Baco Elite Amontillado Sherry. This fortified wine is not Mama’s cooking Sherry. It tastes like butterscotch and hazelnuts with a dry finish ($20). Cheers!

Galata Area of Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s Tower of Flight Commentary by Don Knebel

If your mental image of Istanbul does not include a 14th-century Romanesque hilltop tower overlooking a picturesque harbor, you probably need to revise TRAVEL your image. The cylindrical Galata Tower is also the site of a reported milestone in the history of human aviation.

In 1005 A.D., the once-poor Italian citystate of Genoa became the independent Republic of Genoa, with a fleet of ships sailing throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. The Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople, was one of Genoa’s major trading partners. To facilitate that relationship, in 1267 Genoese traders established a colony on a hillside area called Galata across the Golden Horn from Constantinople, overlooking the harbor where an estuary called the Golden Horn meets the Bosporus, the narrow strait cordance with forming the border between Europe and 0”) to the Indiana Asia. In 1348, as a part of a defensive wall elines. Stansurrounding their colony, the Genoese built a 207-foot tall tower they named Christea ate of filing, Turris (Tower of Christ) atop the hill from

ra A. Smith or umbers:

which they could detect hostile forces approaching the harbor. In 1453, after a battle in which the Genoese were neutral, Islamic forces conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. The Galata Tower became a fire tower.

According to a 17th century report, a Turk named Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi, who had studied aerodynamics, strapped on wings he had copied from birds and flew from the top of the Galata Tower to a landing spot on the Asian side of the Bosporus, 4 miles away. In recognition of this first intercontinental flight, an Istanbul airport is named for Hezârfen.

The Galata Tower was restored in 1967 and is open to the public. For a fee, elevators carry visitors to a balcony just below the roof where they can get a spectacular panoramic view of Istanbul and the two continents on which it now lies.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car.

It was a heart attack.”

– dave r.

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.
