Save the Nickel Plate holds first community session Group points to city documents to advance “Rails and Trails” initiative

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Save the Nickel Plate held its first community listening session June 19.

The community transportation group formed in response to the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority’s Feb. 28 announcement of the proposed Nickel Plate Trail, a 9.2mile, $9 million walking and biking trail from 96th Street in Fishers to Pleasant Street in Noblesville. The HHPA – made up of equal parts City of Fishers, City of Noblesville and Hamilton County governments – owns the rail line.

Led by group member Logan Day, approximately 50 area residents attended the meeting at the Noblesville Township Community Center, 372 S. Eighth St., Noblesville.

Now, the group is pointing to City of Fishers documents Day to help advance its “Rails and Trails” idea that would save the tracks and rail line from being removed while also supporting construction of the proposed trail.

1996 HHPA LETTER TO INDOT In 1996, then-executive director of the HHPA, Larry Hopkins, wrote a letter, dated March 21, to the Indiana Dept. of Transportation requesting the remaining $250,000 of additional funds from a $1.25 million transportation enhancement grant the HHPA had received to purchase and improve the Nickel Plate Rail Line.

In the letter, he stated, “Our intent is to use this line primarily to operate historic and recreational railroads.”

2013 TRANSPORATION PLAN SURVEY In 2013, Fishers completed a Transportation Plan survey. A majority of respondents ranked

improving connections between Fishers and other Indianapolis metropolitan areas and improving transportation options for pedestrians as “very important.”

One question from the study, “If the following services were available to me, I would use them,” showed overwhelming support for both a rail system and walking paths when compared to bike lanes, carpools, park-and-ride options and shuttle buses.

“Our suggestion from the very beginning, as our little handheld signs say, has been rails and trails, but they act like trails is the only thing that’s going to work for them,” Day said.

A 1953 map of the New York, St. Louis and Chicago Railroad System shows the Nickel Plate’s connection from Indianapolis to north through the state to Michigan City, Ind., connecting nearly every county seat of the counties in which it travels through – Indianapolis, Noblesville, Tipton, Kokomo, Rochester, Plymouth and Michigan City. (Submitted map)

shows “proposed trail next to rail” along the rail line through the city.

In the same document, a list of mid-term capital project recommendations to be implemented within the next six to 10 years (from 2014) lists a plan for a trail next to the rail line for 2.27 miles from 96th to 116th streets and for 2.74 miles from Lantern Road to 146th Street.

2014 NICKEL PLATE DISTRICT CODE Adopted in February 2014, Fishers’ Nickel Plate District Code stated that “Dating back to the time when it was referred to as Fishers’ Switch, the (Nickel Plate District) was built off of the activity and commerce from the railroad.

Though few remnants of those times remain, the railroad could once again unlock greater potential for the Nickel Plate District through connection to Indianapolis and other regional destinations.”

“Connection into Indianapolis is something this community could benefit from in a variety of ways and would certainly make for a worldclass feature that no one else has,” Day said.

“The future potential of this is what really causes us to look at the proposed trail-only idea and say, ‘How much foresight, how much future vision is there really in this plan?’ We don’t see it.”

A petition from the Save the Nickel Plate group has garnered approximately 6,000 signatures.

Day said Save the Nickel Plate will hold meetings every other week, alternating between Fishers and Noblesville. As of press time, a date for the next meeting had not been set. For more, visit savethenickelplate.org.

If you’re contemplating filing for divorce, you may be wondering, “What happens next?” Taking that first step can be scary, can leave you feeling sad, can sometimes even offer forms of relief, but often it just leaves a sense of anxiety because of the unknown. If you take out all the different complexities that can convolute each individual divorce, the legal process itself can be broken down into straightforward steps.

Indiana law requires a 60-day cooling-off period. Once divorce paperwork has been filed, a court cannot legally dissolve a marriage until after 60 days have passed. This 60-day waiting period gives couples an opportunity to reconcile before any final court orders are entered, but in the event reconciliation is not possible, this time should be used to determine what will happen with the marital estate and any children of the marriage.

Preliminary orders may be necessary. Preliminary orders, often also referred to as “provisional” orders, are one of the first steps to consider after filing for divorce. You can get provisional orders two ways: by agreement or via a hearing with the court. The benefit of these preliminary orders is that they lay out the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each party during the 60-day waiting period. Who will pay the mortgage? Who will live where? Will I get any maintenance?

How about child support?

Depending on your own personal family situation, you may or may not need provisional orders. Regardless of the method used, the terms will be binding on both parties until further order of the court or until a final settlement agreement has been entered in the case.

Discovery is an important tool and shouldn’t be ignored! You’ll hear the term “discovery” throughout your divorce proceedings. Discovery, simply put, is a way for each party to lay all their assets and liabilities on the table; it provides a means to an end. Why is this important? Because Indiana law presumes a 50/50 split of all marital assets and debts.

You can expect to have to fill out forms regarding information such as

your weekly income, monthly expenses, any liabilities you owe, as well as any assets you own, including but not limited to bank accounts, retirement accounts, and even life insurance accounts. You may hear the term Interrogatories or receive Requests for Production of Documents, which are the most common forms of discovery used in a divorce.

Although they can be time consuming, these types of discovery requests are an important step in the process because they’re used to gather necessary information to settle divorce. Discovery is typically crafted entirely around the specifics of your family situation so, if you’ve got children expect to see some questions and requests that specifically pertain to those children. If you’re a business owner, you can expect to see the same type of requests surrounding the business.

Mediation is a great way to customize an agreement specifically to the needs of your family. After preliminary orders, if any, have been issued and after discovery is complete, the next thing to consider is whether mediation is a viable option. In fact, many courts require parties to at least attempt to settle the divorce at mediation before a final hearing in the matter. Mediation allows the involved parties to negotiate settlement terms without the necessity of attending court.

A final hearing is the last step in the process of divorce. When it’s not possible to come to terms on your own, through the attorneys, or via mediation, you can expect you’ll be heading to court. A judge will hear the case and then issue orders regarding property settlement and custody, parenting time, and child support orders. Keep in mind that this step in the process doesn’t afford couples the same flexibility as mediation.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Purple lines east of White River indicated on-street parking. Yellow and orange blocks indicate City of Noblesville and Hamilton County lots, respectively. (Submitted map)

City lays out parking options for Federal Hill events

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com On June 16, the City of Noblesville released a statement regarding parking issues traffic downtown at the newly opened Federal Hill Commons park.

Since its opening earlier this year, popular events have caused congested Bennett traffic in the area.

“Since the park’s grand opening on May 13, officials have noticed that nearby private parking lots are being used instead of larger public lots,” the press release stated.

“We want to encourage people to use the Riverview Health overflow lot directly across from Federal Hill Commons so normal business operations can continue in the private parking lots around the park,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett stated. “A police officer is stationed at the intersection of Conner Street and (Ind.) 19 to assist pedestrians in crossing. We appreciate our neighbors being understanding, but we want to make sure we are not intruding on their businesses during events because there (are) plenty of parking opportunities

in public spaces.”

The city said “no event parking” signs will be placed at the entrances of private parking lots north of Logan Street, which includes Kroger’s parking lot. The change took effect June 17.

“Demand for the Farmers Market has steadily increased each of the last three years,” Noblesville Main Street CEO Chris Owens Owens stated. “Seeing attendance at an all-time high, we’ve been monitoring traffic with staff from Noblesville Parks and the Noblesville Police Dept.

All three of our organizations are working collaboratively to educate our patrons to the parking options around Federal Hill Commons. We have directed our collective efforts to helping people transition to this wonderful new venue.”

Since the design phase of Federal Hill Commons, the City of Noblesville has said the park was designed as a walkable, urban park where on-site parking spaces would be limited. There are more than 1,100 free public parking spaces within a fiveminute walk.

New park features permanent, outdoor instruments

317-818-0497

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Parks Dept. Director Brandon Bennett was intrigued by the idea of permanent outdoor nonprofit instruments. “Since first seeing the (Freenotes) Harmony Park instruments at a conference, I wanted to see these instruments in our system somewhere, but never had the right location or opportunity until this park came up,â€? Bennett said.

Bennett wanted the instruments as part of the design for Federal Hill Commons. “The park has a focus on different arts, and these instruments fit right into that focus,� he said.

Bennett said the architects came up with the unique idea to install them along the back of the stage wall of the amphitheater. That accomplished several things, he said. “First, it gave the back of the stage wall some depth as well as some additional visual artistic value,� he said. “Second, it activated the stage when nothing else was going on. Finally, it protected them from

being played when there was an event on the stage and not allowing them to become a distraction as I once feared.�

Joshua Rannells, lead design engineer for Colorado-based Freenotes Harmony Park, said the instruments are designed to be outdoors. “They can take the abuse of rain and all that,� Rannells said. “They don’t have to be covered. The instruments are designed so anyone can play. You don’t have to have any music background.�

The Noblesville Parks Foundation donated the instruments. “I’m glad the foundation stepped up and partnered on this, because I think it adds so much more to this park and the experience we want users to have,� Bennett said.

Conner Prairie nationally recognized for interactivity

By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com Conner Prairie is getting national recognition for the revitalization and reinterpretation of one of Indiphilanthropy ana’s most historic properties.

The American Alliance of Museums honored Conner Prairie with an Excellence in Exhibition award for the William Conner House, the longest-running exhibit at the museum. Conner Prairie was one of only five museums in the nation to receive the award.

“It is always an honor for our work to be recognized by our peers. This is a prestigious competition, and exhibit designers and developers eagerly await the announcement each year. It certainly garners attention in the museum field,” said Cathy Donnelly, exhibits developer at Conner Prairie.

Conner Prairie worked with museum artisans, historic-trades specialists and local artists to revitalize and creatively tell the story of the William Conner House.

AAM judges noted that the museum team “made great use of the interactive media throughout William Conner House for reinterpretation.”

“It is a distinct honor, the latest in a string of national awards and recognition that Conner Prairie has achieved. Museums like ours that typically win this award are nationally, even internationally, recognized as leaders in the museum industry,” said Duane Brodt, director of public relations at Conner Prairie.

Recently, the museum received the top honor that a museum can receive when it was recognized with a national medal from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The museum was awarded a $2.3 million grant by the National Science Foundation to create a STEM-based exhibit with interpretive programming that debuted in 2014.

In 2013, Conner Prairie was recognized as one of six “magnetic” museums in the nation and featured in the book, “Magnetic: The Art and Science of Engagement.” The museum was cited as one of the mostvisited outdoor museums in the nation by the Outdoor History Museum Forum.

interactive and media experiences were installed.

“William Conner House is unusual in the museum field in that the house has the look and feel of an historic 1825 house, with furniture and wall treatments accurate to the time period, yet there are modern new media experiences and hands-on activities imbedded in the rooms that visitors explore,” Donnelly said.

Donnelly said young visitors enjoy the hands-on games and trying on clothes, including women’s corsets, and testing out the beds. Donnelly said adults are drawn to the Conner family tree, the interactive map of Indiana and learning about hearthside cooking techniques.

The William Conner House, built nearly 200 years ago, was first opened to the public by Eli Lilly in 1934. Through the years, the house has undergone several renovations.

The latest revitalizations occurred between March 2015 and November of last year as an official Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project.

“Indiana’s bicentennial was a great opportunity to showcase the Conner story,” Donnelly said. “William Conner was present at many of the events that led to Indiana’s statehood. He fought in the War of 1812 and served as an interpreter at several of the treaties the federal government negotiated with the Native Americans. When he built his house, he was already well-known in the local community and in the state as a merchant, farmer, trader and land speculator. His personal story reflected what was going on in the state at the time. The state was changing, and Conner was an important agent of that change.”

The City of Noblesville recently released its year-end annual report. The report details major accomplishcomprehensive ments from every city department report and within the community during 2016, and each week, Current in Noblesville will be highlighting a portion of the report. This week, it’s streets. To see the full report, visit bit.ly/2lDGclL. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Through the street department’s central location and two satellite snow and storage facilities, the staff of 35 employees maintains more than 500 lane miles of city streets. Some of the services provided are urban forestry maintenance, roadside maintenance, asphalt and concrete repair, snow removal, right-of-way utility cut inspection, brush and leaf collection and

street-sign, traffic signal and street light maintenance. The department also maintains Riverside Cemetery.

URBAN FORESTRY The street department is responsible for planting and maintenance of all city street trees once they are released from bond.

Noblesville’s estimated street tree inventory is 25,000 trees. During the summer of 2014, the city began seeing the extent of the damage to its ash tree population from the emerald ash borer.

The city said treating trees for EAB is not cost-effective due to the number of ash trees in the city right-of-way.

In 2013, the department began mass removals of compromised ash street trees, and the city said these removals are expected to continue for several years.

Beginning in 2014, the city set aside additional funding to help with the replacement of street trees removed because of EAB and had committed to continuing the process.

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com This week, SERVE Noblesville volunteers will be out and about in the community, donning their bright red cover story shirts, to complete service projects that will help spruce up the city.

Over four full days, June 28 to July 1, more than 800 volunteers will donate their time to the effort that has completed hundreds of improvement projects since its inception five years ago.

Patrick Propst, chair of SERVE Noblesville and minister at Faith Community Church, said this year will be bigger and better than years prior.

In its first year, SERVE Noblesville completed 12 service projects. But this year, the number will be more than quadrupled as volunteer groups complete more than 50 service projects around town.

“Projects are chosen essentially by what we’re able to find resources for,” Propst said. “We’ll do any project. We cover a broad range, which is rare for this type of organization. From craft projects to home and yard beautification and more, we get the idea for projects and figure out what the cost of materials is and see if we can get those donated or funded.”

Propst said planning the annual event takes most of the year.

“We take July off, and then we start again in August,” he said. “Starting in August, we have monthly meetings until March or April, and then we go to two meets a month.”

Planning partners include Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County; Noblesville Main Street; Grace Church; Bethel Lutheran Church; Green Valley Church of Christ; White River Christian Church; Faith Community Church; Emmanuel United Methodist

Church; and Noblesville Young Life.

Propst said he believes this year will involve a lot of young people with groups like the Noblesville High School football team, Hamilton Heights girls soccer team and more joining in.

One annual event, the Teen Sweep, will involve anywhere from 60 to 80 teenagers as they descend on downtown Noblesville to sweep the sidewalks and clear them of debris. The effort helps clean up the area for the annual Street Dance, which will take place the following weekend, July 8.

Another youth group, Christ in Youth, will travel from Joplin, Mo., to take part as well.

“SERVE is about connecting people to

people,” Propst said. “Where we continue to separate ourselves with technology and busyness, this is a way for the community to come out and make a difference together. We’re not as different as we all think.”

To learn more or to get involved, email servenoblesville@gmail.com, or visit servenoblesville.com. Unregistered volunteers can take part and be registered on-site, the morning of, as the group meets each morning at 8 a.m. at the 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

SERVE Noblesville will round out the week with a community cookout at Federal Hill Commons from 6 to 9 p.m. June 30. Everyone in the community is invited.

Silence of our own music

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Walking across the lush grounds of any college campus, one is struck by the silence of the students as they pass. The teeming masses slip by quietly, ears filled with tiny buds delivering music, podcasts or other noise directly into the brain of the would-be scholar. Without looking up, they stare blankly into the phone or other device controlling the flow of bits and bytes.

But is it the same to listen to music in one’s ear as it is to hear it in a crowd? As we become more isolated in our opinions – and our sources of information – we rarely share communion with our fellow humans in its receipt. Is music, and so many other things, better if it’s experienced collectively? Do we become trapped in our own thinking as we restrict our sources? To be sure, we are often best-advised to stand on our own. Peer pressure and the lemmingeffect have ruined any number of young and promising lives. We must stand for our own sense of right and fight for those unable to defend themselves.

Yet, if we hear only our own music can we hope to understand the perspectives of others? We pass links of funny YouTube videos – but it is in watching the videos together crowding around the same tiny screen that we find the most joy. In retreating into our own personalized and shrinking minorities, do we ensure our own isolation even as we imagine that we are simply living a life of our own design? Can we hope to understand the music of others if we never have occasion to hear it?

Are you ready for metric?

Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy, Ph.D. Whether you like it or not, America will have to switch to the metric system. The question is no longer observation if, but when?

Meters and kilograms are the basic units of the metric system. But in practice, multiples and submultiples are used. Tens are easier to handle. For instance, isn’t it so much convenient to add eight millimeters and 16 millimeters than 5/16 inch and 5/8 inch?

We may not have noticed it, but America is already partially metric. Athletes are all-too familiar with the 100-meter dash.

Many of you may have taken part in the March of Dimes 5k walk. Gun owners talk of .38 caliber and camera buffs are too cozy with 35mm.

Despite of all the tooling expenses involved in conversion, in the long run metric will make for smoother international

machine trade. The world will bless America for it. Remember the United Kingdom gave up LSD (Pounds-ShillingsPence). Aren’t we glad we have dollars and cents, which are metric?

Until people become familiar with the metric system, some numbers will sound ridiculous. How do you comprehend a 9060-90 figure or hectare of land? For the heck of it, it is 2.5 acres.

Some companies are already doing their bit toward the metric system—the soda people with their liter bottles and the tobacco companies with 100mm cigarettes.

The next time you order a pizza don’t bother to convert. Just ask for a large with everything on it. Let the waiter do the math.

Melkote Ramaswamy is a Westfield resident and has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Johns Hopkins University.

For the second leg of my 2017 Summery Vacay Series, I spent a week on the Carolina coast with my family. We humor were 25 people ranging in age from 1 to 75, sharing a single house with untrustworthy toilets and a kitchen sink literally too small to wash dishes.

In retrospect, the trip went about as smooth as possible. My two “party” sisters kept it in check this year, and because we traveled in June, the normally oppressive heat wasn’t a factor. But you can’t put that many souls together without a few snafus, although there was nothing as exciting as my 2015 accidental attempt to OD my brother-in-law with Advil that was actually Ambien. Sorry!

For starters, someone sabotaged the rib dinner my twin and I made on Monday.

After two hours of supposed cooking, we discovered the oven had been turned off.

Needless to say, that meat did not fall right off the bone. And of course, most of us are pasty-white gingers who have no business being in the sun. No blistering or vomiting, but we did have a few aloe-requiring burns.

The most fascinating “failure” of the trip came while we were all on our way home. Somewhere in Kentucky the first of many text messages pinged: “House worst condition cleaning crew has seen. Security deposit forfeited. No re-rental.” This was incredibly surprising because we hadn’t broken or damaged anything and had emptied the fridge and done the dishes. True, we did leave two toilets clogged, but in our defense, there were no plungers! Attorney Sister … Activate!

Peace out.

Commentary by Matthew Clark, OD As the warming weather begins to draw you toward your favorite pool chair, par 3, playground vision health or park this summer, don’t forget to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet light. Short-term UV can cause uncomfortable sunburn on the surface of the eye, while long-term exposure can cause irreversible damage, including cataracts and macular degeneration. Here are a few protective measures to shield your eyes this summer.

• The first is obvious. Sunglasses!

Sunglasses protect your peepers by filtering out harmful UV rays.

However, not all sunwear is created equal. Polarization is king, blocking 100 percent of damaging UV. Sunglasses without UV protection are particularly bad, as they cause your pupils to widen, allowing even more ultraviolet light into the eye. Wondering whether your current sunglasses are polarized? Take a look at your phone or a computer monitor and tilt your head side-to-side. If the colors

The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

change, your sunglasses are good to go! Some non-polarized sunglasses may still offer UV protection via lens material or coatings.

• If you’re a contact lens wearer and you spend a lot of time outside, tell your eye doctor you would like to try some contact lenses with built-in UV protection. Contact lenses will not protect your entire eye from the sun, but some brands filter up to 97% of UV light. Kids who play outdoor sports will especially benefit from this great technology.

• If you wear glasses most days and don’t want to switch back and forth from glasses to sunglasses, put an anti-glare coating on your lenses with UV protection in them. It’s comparable to putting SPF 50 sunscreen on your eyes, but it’ll certainly sting less.

The presentyour home er had downsized into an apartment roughly half the size of her former home and gave great ideas on how to maximize function and have a beautiful space.

I’m hearing about so many people who want to have less—less stuff, less maintenance, less to organize and clean and less to pay for. And then in turn having more time, more freedom and flexibility, more money and more joy.

So here are my takeaways: 1. Get creative with storage. In the bathroom, use a medicine cabinet to hold daily toiletries, and use shelves and brackets installed over the toilet to store additional items in covered baskets. Go vertical for storage wher-

ever possible.

2. Edit, edit, edit. Limited space means there’s a natural, external limit placed on what you can allow in to your home.

This is wonderful! It forces you to really consider each and every purchase. Is it going to improve my life enough to justify owning and storing it?

3. Start with art. This designer loves art and uses it as the basis for her home design. I can’t say that I have done that, but it’s intriguing. If you have art that you love, really make it a focal point and draw your palette from it.

4. Keep it simple. Too much color, pattern and general ‘busy-ness’ in furnishings weighs you down. Using less can really create a beautiful, soothing backdrop for your less-is-more life.

Nearby parks to visit this summer Lilly Lake inside Eagle Creek Park.

(Photos by Jessica Hoover)

Fort Harrison is a state park in Indianapolis.

Fort Harrison State Park

The Rock Garden at Holliday Park.

Commentary by Jessica Hoover If you’re looking for a place for outdoor fun of all kinds, Eagle Creek Park is the place to go. With hiking trails family fun spreading across 3,900 acres and even passing

by Eagle Creek Reservoir, the park is a hiker’s paradise. Along with the reservoir, Eagle Creek is home to Lilly Lake — a popular fishing spot — and an ice-skating pond.

Water activities include boating, fishing, swimming and visiting Plunge Harbor, which has an inflatable water slide, trampoline, climbing wall and more. If you’re an animallover like I am, you’ll love that the park has a bird sanctuary and even an ornithology and discovery center. But if birds aren’t your thing, your favorite four-legged friend is welcome as long as they are on a leash, or you can set them free at the dog park located inside the park. Eagle Creek Park has something for everyone, complete with a golf course and a tree-top obstacle course.

The trails inside Cool Creek Park make for a nice nearby getaway.

Cool Creek Park

Holliday Park

6363 Spring Mill Rd., Indianapolis As one of Indianapolis’ oldest parks, Holliday Park is rich in both history and beauty. One of its most prominent features is a sculpture called “The Ruins,” which was made by combining different sections of demolished historical buildings. As soon as you walk in the park, the stunning landscaping will catch your eye, particularly when visiting the rock garden.

However, the trails boast a natural beauty as you take a scenic trek along ravines, the White River and many other bodies of water. Holliday Park also has a playground for the kids and an impressive nature center for people of all ages.

All nature enthusiasts need to visit Fort Harrison at least once. The park has a variety of trails: some for solely hiking, some for biking and hiking and a horse trail. The horses live in the park and are available to rent from April to October. Other facilities include a visitor center, a dog park and the Museum of 20th Century Warfare. I’ve been to this park multiple times, and the beauty of it never seems to get old. Plus, when you live in central Indiana it’s hard to find anything other than flat land, but Fort Harrison State Park does have the occasional hill to mix things up a bit.

Cool Creek Park is a place you’ll want to go to with the kids or if you just want to take a leisurely walk through the woods. The 4 miles of trails are fairly flat and wide, making it easy enough for even young children to hike.

Next to the entrance there also is a playground, music pavilion, soccer field, softball field and basketball court.

The nature center is educational for all ages, teaching the whole family about the importance of preserving plants and animals. The park also offers programs for children and adults throughout the year, most of which focus on nature or art.

Although Town Run Trail Park is a bit off the beaten path, it is like a small, hidden gem that you’d drive right by if you didn’t know it was there. With the main trail following along the edge of the White River, you can see the water just between the trees. It seems to be a popular place for biking, so if you are hiking or jogging there, be cautious and ready to move out of the way. One thing about this park that stands out compared to other Indiana parks is that there are some man-made hills, which makes a bit more of a challenge if you’re up for it.

Local singer returns from CMA Showcase

By Zach Dunkin editorial@yoaurecurrent.com Simply put, 12-year-old Maddux Morrison is reaching for the top. His goal?

“I want to be an actor on music Broadway,” the Noblesville East Middle Schooler said.

Perhaps one day he can look back to his appearance at the CMA Showcase in Franklin, Tenn., near Nashville, that got him started on his way to the Great White Way. Morrison’s voice teacher, Lynee Mlott of Geist, made the connection for the budding star with the June Showcase, which featured dozens of youths from across the nation.

“I was really nervous,” Maddux said. “I really didn’t know any of the kids performing, and it was the first time I had actually sung on stage. I felt like I did good, and it was a big relief when it was over.”

Maddux’s mother, Amy Morrison, said her son has been a performer since he was a toddler.

“He absolutely loved music and would put on ‘shows’ for us at a very young age,” said Amy, a second-grade teacher at Forest Dale Elementary School in Carmel. “He even earned a solo in his end-of-the-year pre-

school program because his teacher recognized how much he loved to be in front of an audience.’’

So, when he was old enough, the family (father Brock is an engineering and

construction teacher at Noblesville High School) began enrolling him in theater classes. First, there were the classes at Christian Youth Theater in preschool. Then, he took classes and workshops and performed in plays at Civic Theatre in Carmel, including his current role as Mr. Mayor in Junior Civic’s “Seussical.” He is part of the Act One Performance group there as well.

He also has performed at the Belfry Theater in Noblesville and is preparing for his role as Prince Eric in “The Little Mermaid” there in July. Last fall, he participated in Anderson University’s production of “Gypsy” and currently can be seen in The Children’s Museum exhibit called “Dance,” in which he took part in the production of a dance video.

Obviously, the young talent has been very busy.

“Maddux already has learned the hard work and dedication to the job pays off,” Amy said. “He definitely drives himself.”

Morrison gives his parents proper praise for their assistance.

“Besides driving me around all over the place, my parents have been supportive and encourage me to get better,” he said.

Look out, Broadway.

Center of Cienfuegos, Cuba (Submitted by Don Knebel)

NEW!

Cienfuegos: The Pearl of the South Commentary by Don Knebel Many visitors to Cuba consider their trips complete when they have spent a few days in Havana. Cienfuegos, a coastal city 160 miles to the southeast, travel provides an entirely different experience.

Cienfuegos lies along the Bay of Cienfuegos, a haven for 18th century pirates of the Caribbean. The city was founded in 1819 by French-speaking immigrants, some of them from New Orleans. Based on then-modern ideas of urban planning, the streets where laid out on a grid, with a park at the center. The city soon became an important international port, exporting sugar cane, tobacco and other crops grown in the fertile fields nearby. Within 40 years of its founding, Cienfuegos had become the third-wealthiest city in Cuba. With their wealth, local residents built impressive neoclassical buildings along the streets surrounding the park, including a domed city hall, a theater and a cathedral. As the city expanded beyond its original 25 blocks, the grid pattern was meticulously main-

tained and the buildings in the city center were expanded. Because of its magnificent architecture, Cienfuegos became known as “La Perla del Sur,” the Pearl of the South. In 1902, when Cuba gained its independence, the central park was renamed in honor of José Martí, a Cuban national hero who had long argued for independence. A large statue of him was erected in the park.

In 2005, the center of Cienfuegos was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its representation of early urban planning in Latin America. Today’s visitors see an outstanding example of a 19th century colonial city, with the historic center much like it was more than 100 years ago. Visitors so inclined can take a ferry across the Bay of Cienfuegos to Castillo de Jagua, a fortress built by the Spanish in 1742 to protect the area from pirates.
