Council looks to rearrange funds for Logan bridge

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council at its April 10 meeting took the first steps in approving a $1.2 million expenditure to fund the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge downtown.

A joint project with Hamilton County, the pedesDOWNTOWN trian bridge will be built along the existing Logan Street road bridge, connecting the downtown square with Federal Hill Commons.

“This is an additional appropriation ordinance to pay what is proposed to be the city’s share of improvements to the Logan Street bridge, creating a pedestrian bridge alongside the regular transportation bridge,” City Controller Jeff Spalding said at the meeting. “That bridge will be built by the county. It will be actually owned by the county, and the city’s contributing to that, so this money is being appropriated as such, as a public-purpose grant from the city to the county. What this does is establishes the funding for the city’s portion of that project.”

At an estimated $3 million to complete construction, with approximately half paid for by the county, the City of Noblesville will pay $1,222,750 with the increased budget appropriation, which will be granted to the county to begin construction this year. When Council President Chris Jensen asked about a timeline, City Engineer John

Beery said the project would be complete “about a year from now.”

The proposed ordinance changes the general fund budget passed by the common council in October 2017 to increase funding for the Dept. of Public Works and in the “Services & Other Charges” category.

Councilors preliminarily approved the ordinance unanimously, 9-0, which established a public hearing for its next meeting at 7 p.m. April 24 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St., Noblesville.

Hamilton County officials detailed the new Hamilton County Jail expansion project during a ground-breaking ceremony April 10 at the site on the north side of the jail, 18102 Cumberland Rd., EVENT Noblesville.

Phase I construction of the expansion project is scheduled to begin this month, and the $13.5 million project is expected to be complete in April of next year. The first phase will add 120 beds.

Phase II, which costs just under $4 million, will add an additional 136 beds. Hamilton County commissioners are waiting for additional funds to begin Phase II. The Hamilton County Jail was originally built in 1993 to hold 296 inmates. Jail population is now nearing 400 inmates.

In addition to the extra beds, the expansion will have an interior recreation area, a classroom and a medical support area. Dining space will be accommodated in existing space in the old jail. The new addition to the jail will have 11 cell pods with 84 cells consisting of twoand four-man cells.

Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen outlined how House Bill 1006, passed in January 2016, affected the jail’s population and the need for expansion. The legislation requires Level 6 felons to serve their terms in county jails rather than state prisons.

Bowen said the county tried to mitigate the growth during the past

25 years, such as moving female inmates to the juvenile center.

“We have done all we can do, and as the county continues to grow and expand and issues continue to rise, we have no choice but to break ground on a new building,” Bowen said. “We need to be prepared for the future.”

Earth Day and the 1896 Noblesville Fish Kill Commentary by David Heighway With Earth Day coming up, this seems like a good time to look at a Hamilton County environmental failure and HIGHLIGHTS see what we might have IN HISTORY learned from it.

The White River at Noblesville had pollution problems from the earliest days of settlement. The first industry in town was Cogswell’s tannery (now the site of the judicial center), which poured waste products into the river in the 1830s. Throughout the 19th century, refuse from the livery stables along Conner Street flowed straight into the river – the Conner Street Bridge wasn’t built until 1930. By the 1870s, there were complaints about the quality of the water.

The situation worsened with the industrial growth that came with the 1887 gas boom.

One of the first factories that sprang up was the American Strawboard Company plant, which made a type of cheap cardboard from straw. The straw would be broken down with muriatic acid and reformed.

It was good for packing glassware, another growth industry. In later years, the plant

would be purchased by Ball Brothers.

The plant was constructed in 1890 and was supposed to be one of largest in the world. It was built in southwest Noblesville, becoming a big employer in the area and causing a growth of housing.

Indiana had already been having problems with Strawboard plants polluting rivers, so the state inspected the site in December 1890. Although officials declared it favorable, there were complaints about water quality by March 1891. The plant continued to run full throttle, beating the national record for production in April.

In November of 1893, the Indianapolis Water Company had enough of worrying about its supply of water and brought a lawsuit. It complained that there was constant leakage from the refuse ponds where the acid-soaked waste was left to settle.

The Strawboard Company agreed to a compromise and ceased running to upgrade the reservoir. The locals were upset that 150 men were put out of work by this. The plant eventually reopened, but the newspaper stories about pollution continued.

The long-feared event finally happened May 30, 1896. The levee between the refuse ponds and the river washed out, releasing

an enormous amount of toxic waste. From Noblesville to Broad Ripple, the shore was lined with dead fish. People thought at first that poisons killed the fish, but a scientist later explained that a chemical reaction was taking oxygen out of water and fish were actually suffocating.

Eventually, the court decided that the Strawboard Company was in contempt of a previous injunction to improve the reservoir. A fine was levied against the plant of $250 and costs. This is a small amount, but there was not much else the court could do.

There were few official laws about pollution. By October, the Strawboard Company had purchased more acreage and was building larger refuse ponds.

The Noblesville Strawboard plant ran until the 1960s. Although older community residents talk about the smell from the place, there are no more reports of a similar breech.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker With each trip planned and each itinerary booked, we can find ourselves stretched between excitement and anxiety. Even as we eagerly anticipate the chance to break away from our daily routines and find solace in an exotic locale, often unknown to us but for our imaginations, we can harbor a bit of secret apprehension. New foods, new beds, new climates, new languages – each deliver to us an unsettling dose of, well, new. We like what we have – that’s why we have it. Still, we seek something more. Perhaps it is part of our human condition. What we have is never as good as what we want – which is never as good as what we have.

The paradox is most confusing.

Yet, we cannot find a substitute. Even in a world of social media, virtual reality and Asian-fusion, travel is the most direct way to understand a culture and, perhaps, lower our defenses just a bit. Famed Hollywood actress Shirley MacLaine is attributed with noting that, “The more I traveled, the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” Shared human experience, in Istanbul or Rio, serves best to help us find our commonality and to celebrate our difference.

One travels to learn about others. But, that education does not stand alone. Very often, we learn more about ourselves. At first, one might wonder why they eat what they eat, do what they do, or live like they live. Then, in a moment of reflection, the question is turned inward. When observing them in a strange land, the questions come easily. What might the mirror say if we asked it the same?

READER’S VIEW Don’t be fooled Editor, I have noticed lately one specific politician popping up in an awful lot of photos and articles recently. What can we attribute this to? Could it be that he is running for re-election in a contested election? Steve Schwartz has been on the Hamilton County Council for 16 years.

Have you ever seen him out with the county highway department filling potholes before last week?

He also is in the photo for the solar power “investment,” the only councilor in the photo, along with the three county commissioners who want to keep his locked-up vote on the council. Do you think he was the only councilor who voted for it? No, it took at least four votes to approve.

Recently, he popped up in Washington, D.C., to do “county business.” In the history of the county council, has there ever been a county councilor go to Wash-

ington, D.C., paid for by the county? Not only did he go, but all three county commissioners went as well. Do you see a pattern here? Not sure why any had to go at all, when we already have a representative in Washington to advocate for us.

But if it was necessary, couldn’t just one person go and do the job instead of taxpayers footing the bill for all four?

Our Hamilton County government has been run by folks comfortably presiding for many years: Commissioner Steve Dillinger for 32 years, Commissioner Christine Altman for 22 years and Steve Schwartz for 16 years. They have become out of touch with taxpayers. Watch for more fake photo ops from Mr. Schwartz, and every time you see one, remember he is just trying to fool you into voting for him.

Sing with me and the lead from Europe: “It’s the fi-nal count-down!” We’re in the home stretch, people. The final countdown to summer. Six weeks or so HUMOR until late mornings, homeworkfree nights and, God willing, warm weather become the norm. I’m not sure why I need June to get here so badly, but these last few months have been exhausting. Anyone else?

For me, it’s been a slow, almost imperceptible build-up of teaching and parenting stresses combined with schizophrenic weather that has me longing for a beach and a Mai Tai. But I didn’t realize how tired and overwhelmed I was until spring break because like most moms, I just kept pushing forward, regardless of my own state of mind.

After a short weekend in New York City with one of my twins to check out some colleges and stand in line for hours to enjoy a milkshake/cookie dough/Statue of Liberty (in order of priority), I immediately lost a fight to a nasty cold and subsequently did nothing except sneeze and mainline Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet for 72 hours.

By Thursday, I was finally able to tackle the long-neglected yard work, taxes and actually cook a non-Kraft dinner, but was in bed by 8:30 almost every night. Not exactly the break I had planned, but clearly much-needed.

So, as I look ahead to these last few weeks of school, I’m hoping I can make it to May 30. The sun is shining today, which is a good sign, and homework for my kiddos should subside as exams approach. At the very least, I now have a mantra: “It’s the final countdown!”

Peace out.

Do you know if you have dense breasts?

Commentary by Dr. Erica Giblin

Do you know if you have dense breasts?

Most women don’t know, unless they have had a screening mamPREVENTION mogram report.

Dense breast tissue isn’t related to a woman’s overall body size, breast cup size or how ‘lumpy’ the breasts feel on self-breast exam. Breast tissue density is determined by a mammogram.

So, what is breast density? The breasts are composed of fatty tissue and milk-duct gland tissue. Some women have mostly fatty tissue and some women have mostly milk-duct gland tissue. Those that have mostly fatty tissue do not have dense breasts. Those who have mostly milk-duct gland tissue do have dense breast tissue.

Indiana law requires women with dense breast tissue who undergo screening mammogram to receive a mammogram report informing them that they have dense breast tissue.

Why does this matter? Because the denser the breasts are, the harder it is for the

mammogram to find a breast cancer hiding in the dense breast tissue. Mammograms can be less accurate in women with dense breasts because sometimes the breast tumors are indistinguishable from the dense breast tissue.

Abbreviated breast MRI (screening breast MRI), or AB-MRI, is a new, game-changing technology that improves breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue. AB-MRI is painless and quick – takes less than 10 minutes – and the results are superior to digital mammography. Compared to mammography, which detects 5 to 6 cancers per 1,000 patients, AB-MRI is an improvement that can detect 15 cancers per 1,000 patients.

Better tests mean better outcomes for patients. That’s why it matters.

New housing development in the works near Hazel Dell, 32

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Plans for a new 152-home neighborhood, Midland Overlook, will soon go in front of the Noblesville ComDEVELOPMENT mon Council for a change-of-zoning request for 63 acres near Hazel Dell Road and Ind. 32.

The proposal was planned to go in front of the council at its April 10 meeting but was tabled until the council’s May 15 meeting.

A change of zoning would pave the way for the project – behind the Noblesville Golf and Batting Center on Ind. 32, bounded by Mill Creek Road, Willowview Road and 171st Street – from CalAtlantic Homes of Indiana.

Current zoning for the property is a mix of residential and industrial. CalAtlantic

Homes of Indiana is requesting the zoning be changed to R3/PD, residential planned development.

Each lot size would be approximately 7,800 square feet, and the footprint of the homes would be 1,500 square feet for onestory homes and 1,800 square feet for multistory homes. The developer also is proposing approximately 20 acres of open space.

Midland Overlook is bounded on its north side by the Midland Trail and will have three path connections throughout the neighborhood, which falls in line with CalAtlantic’s goal of targeting millennial buyers for the homes, priced between $300,000 and $325,000.

The Noblesville Common Council’s next meeting is 7 p.m. April 24, and the Midland Overlook project will be discussed the following meeting, 7 p.m. May 15 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St., Noblesville.

Goodwin, Ziobro join Feinstein for Songbook reunion at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Julia Goodwin and Nick Ziobro, this concert venue is a home away from home.

“The Palladium is where CONCERT I first fell in love with the Great American Songbook,” Goodwin said. “I always say it is one of my favorite venues to perform at, and I feel so at home whenever I return.”

Goodwin, the 2013 Songbook Ambassador, and Nick Ziobro, 2012 Songbook Ambassador, will join Michael Feinstein in concert at 8 p.m. April 21 at The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“The audience can expect to see the two of us returning to the place where it all began for us, celebrating the music that made us who we are,” Ziobro said.

“I can’t wait to step back on stage at the Palladium with Michael. The Palladium always feels like home every time we come back to perform, and it’s really exciting to be there with Michael, where it all began with the Songbook Academy.”

Feinstein is the founder of the Great American Songbook Foundation and artistic director for the Center for the Performing Arts.

“Michael is an undeniably incredible talent, mentor and friend. It is always a pleasure working with him,” Goodwin said.

“Nick and I have each been very fortunate to perform with Michael many times over the years. Michael has taken us under his wing to places such as Carnegie Hall, 54 Below, Jazz at Lincoln Center and more.”

Ziobro said Feinstein has been an amazing mentor on those experiences, offering guidance and advice.

As the duo Nick and Julia, Goodwin and Ziobro have been performing together for a little more than three years.

“However, we’ve known each other since a very young age through community theater involvement,” Goodwin said.

Goodwin, 19, is from Baldwinsville, N.Y., and a sophomore at Syracuse University.

Ziobro, 21, is from Syracuse, N.Y., and graduated from Rider University.

Indy Film Fest set for 15th year editorial@youarecurrent.com The 15th annual Indy Film Fest will have a 10-day lineup of films from April 26 to May 5.

Hundreds of film critics, film lovers and directors are expected to visit the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields to view a lineup of traditional and indie films from around the world, according to a news release.

Film fans can see a schedule at indyfilmfest.org of the 140 feature-length and short films that will show. Some expected favorites are “When We Grow Up,” a film with an entirely female crew and creative team and “Film School Africa,” a documentary about a woman who leaves a Los Angeles casting director job to teach filmmaking in an impoverished South African community. The subject and the director of the documentary attended Taylor University in Upland, Ind. Both films will have their world premiere at the Indy Film Fest.

Ticket packages for Indy Film Fest members start at $50 and offer year-round benefits. Register at indyfilmfest.org/ membership.

“We’ve known each other for years because we are from the same hometown.

However, we didn’t start performing as a duo until about December 2014, so a little over three years,” Ziobro said.

They met performing in a “13” musical.

Goodwin said she was in awe of Ziobo’s talent and they clicked immediately as friends.

“I had heard of Julia before because when she was really young she was a local celebrity,” Ziobro said. “She had some viral Youtube hits, and everyone was really excited to meet her. We performed together onstage in ‘13’ in 2011. Seven years later

we’re partners in crime.”

Goodwin said she and Ziobro will showcase a wide variety of the Songbook songs.

“We have a Carole King mashup that I’m particularly excited about,” Goodwin said.

“People can expect an exciting evening, filled with music that has shaped us into the people and artists we are today. Especially with the amazing band led by Tedd Firth, it will be a show you don’t want to miss.”

Ziobro said he and Goodwin always do a fun duet of the two Harold Arlen classics, “Stormy Weather” and “When The Sun Comes Out.” Goodwin and Ziobro were both on “America’s Got Talent.” “‘America’s Got Talent’ was a very cool experience,” Goodwin said. “Nick and I were on different seasons of the show, but both appreciate the exposure, friendship, and opportunities it gave us.”

CCP presents ‘Ragtime’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com “Ragtime the Musical” is based on a 1975 novel about the early 1900s but still has relevance today.

MUSICAL That’s one reason Rich Phipps is pleased the Carmel Community Players is presenting the musical. Phipps, a CCP board member, will appear in the six performances of the musical April 20 to 29 at the Ivy Tech Auditorium in Noblesville.

“Even though the story is set in New York at the turn of the 20th Century, it deals with important themes that are very relevant today, such as immigration issues, racial discrimination and social justice,” Phipps said. “It has some serious subject matter and some rough language, but we hope that parents will not hesitate to bring their children and then have some important dialogue at home. I love the way the story weaves in some historical figures such as Booker T. Washington, Evelyn Nesbit, Henry Ford and others. And everyone can enjoy the magnificent musical score which won the 1998 Tony Award.”

Director Doug Peet, a Carmel dentist, said the show is very topical.

“The show is about racism and ethnic

prejudice, people from privilege, and it’s about three stories from each of these groups,” Peet said. “It ends with a really nice message.”

Phipps, a Carmel resident, plays the father of the upper-class family in New Rochelle.

This is the CCP’s first show since losing its Playhouse at Clay Terrace.

Although that is disappointing, Phipps said it is a blessing for the show since it is a much bigger venue, with a larger stage.

Artists’ organization holds event

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Laura LaForge is a selftrained artist who eschewed formal training because art would never pay any ART bills. Or so she thought.

More than 60 studios filled with unique artwork will be showcased at the Stutz Business and Arts Center, 212 W. 10th St. The event kicks off April 26 with a Silver Celebration preview from 6:30 to 10 p.m., followed by the two-day Open House, 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. April 27 and 1 to 5 p.m. April 28.

Artists and the building, a 400,000-square-foot former car factory, will be adorned in silver. Each artist will have a unique work inspired by silver. Paintings, photography, furniture, sculptures, murals and jewelry are among the many items that will be on display and available for purchase.

Much ado about a lot Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Miracle of the Salute Commentary by Don Knebel One of Venice’s brightest and most uplifting buildings remembers a dark period in its history, when it took a miracle TRAVEL to save the city.

In 1630, a new outbreak of the bubonic plague hit Venice. A third of its population of 140,000 was soon dead and prayers from local churches had not stopped the dying. With the survivors desperate, the Venetian Senate appealed directly to Saint Mary, promising to build a magnificent church in her honor if the wave of death subsided. It did, and the Senate immediately initiated a competition for a suitable design. Baldassare Longhena, a 32-year-old Venetian architect, won the competition, proposing an ornate octagonal structure, topped by a massive dome and entered through a triumphal arch. According to Longhena, the octagonal shape, never before used for a church, symbolized Mary’s virginity and the overall look, suggesting a crown, honored her as Queen of Heaven. A site was selected at the end of the Grand Canal across the water from Saint Mark’s

Square. Before construction could begin, 100,000 piles were driven into the ground to support the foundation. Construction of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute (Saint Mary of Health) began in 1631 and was completed 50 years later. The interior of the basilica, commonly called Salute, contains numerous masterpieces by Titian, who lived in Venice in the 16th century. Much of the art suggests Venice’s miraculous deliverance from the plague. A black dot in the center of the floor, directly below the statue of Mary standing atop the dome’s lantern, is said to radiate healing energy.

Every November 21, crowds walk on a temporary bridge built over the Grand Canal from Saint Mark’s Square to the Salute, where they celebrate Mary’s protection of the city. For Venetians and visitors alike, it is one of Venice’s most important days.

I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t understand or enjoy much of the Shakespeare assigned to me in GRAMMAR GUY high school. On the other hand, I love how Shakespeare invented words that are still common in our modern lexicon, including wormhole, swagger and skim milk. Although word scholars now debate how many words he actually came up with, Shakespeare certainly knew a lot of words.

That reminds me of a word duo that often gets mismatched and misused: a lot and allot. First, I want to get something out of the way and settled so we can get on with our lives: alot is not a word (unless you capitalize it and are referring to the town in India named Alot). The nonword “alot” often gets used instead of “a lot,” which means a large amount or large number. People mistakenly write things like “I know alot about robot movies.” In this sentence, the person should have written “a lot.”

Allot is a verb that means to give out, distribute or divide. It doesn’t get used

as much as its word cousin a lot, but it has its merits. Make sure to allot the same amount of Skittles to each child unless you want a riot on your hands. In this case, an even allotment can save you from a disastrous toddler turf war.

I will say, we use the phrase “a lot” far too often. It’s vague and doesn’t add much pizzazz to your writing or speaking.

Instead, consider words and phrases like a plenitude, several, heaps, an abundance and scads. As an adjective, “a lot” is a bland nothingburger (check your dictionary). The more inspiring words are like the little-used exotic spices in your spice rack that add variety and interest to your bowl of alphabet soup. By expanding your vocabulary, you make Shakespeare’s ghost proud.

In conclusion, allot means to give out. A lot means a large amount, and it’s kind of boring. I challenge you to use something more interesting instead. You have a myriad of options.
