Air quality being addressed at Noblesville Schools

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Controversy over the use of portable classrooms due to lack of traSCHOOLS ditional classroom space in Hamilton County is not new.

At Noblesville Schools, some parents’ frustration grew last week after results of an Indiana State Dept. of Health testing of indoor air quality were returned to the district.

OUR PROMISE handshake and quality, honest work.

Work on Little Chicago Road Trail begins

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A planned trail connecting Ind. 38 to the South Harbour neighborhood broke ground Aug. 17.

RECREATION The 8-foot-wide trail will be 2,700 feet long, and an existing 4-foot sidewalk will be widened for consistency, connecting the city’s network of trails south along Hazel Dell Parkway to 146th Street. The trail is expected to be complete this fall.

The Little Chicago Road Trail is one of five other projects that will connect other sections of trail by the end of 2017.

The projects include 460 feet on 156th Street, east of Summer Road; 405 feet on Cumberland Road, north of SMC Boulevard; 425 feet on Greenfield Avenue, west of Summer Road; and a small gap on Stony Creek Trail, east of Regal Cinemas Noblesville 10.

Two other trail projects in the city are nearing completion – Midland Trace Trail

Phase I and the Riverwalk.

The first phase of the Midland Trace Trail Project began Aug. 17 with paving. The 12foot wide trail will be completed in September. The city said the trailhead along Hazel Dell Parkway will be finished near Memorial Day 2018. The second phase, which will extend the trail east to Willowview Road, will begin next year.

The Riverwalk project, in partnership with Hamilton County, is receiving its finishing touches. A ribbon cutting was held Aug. 25. The city said completion of the Riverwalk’s third phase connects the halfmile trail along the east side of White River downtown. “We are increasing Noblesville’s trail availability and connectivity, which accomplishes a goal of making the city more walkable,� Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “Making these trail connections are just as important as the larger projects.

Having more options and longer stretches of trails allows our residents to be outdoors and active.�

DISPATCH Native trees available — The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District is holding its annual fall native tree sale. This year, 35 varieties of native trees and shrubs are available. The sale focuses on species native to Indiana. Native species are those that have been growing in Indiana since before English settlement. These types of trees are uniquely suited to local soils, weather, and wildlife, especially birds, insects and other pollinators. All plants are $26 each.

Have you thought about replacing that old sofa?

Where do you start? Who INTERIOR DESIGN can you trust? The options are endless! So what makes a quality sofa?

3 things: springs, frames and cushions. Quality sofas are handcrafted and each piece must be constructed from the best materials to guarantee it will be free from defects and last a lifetime.

SPRINGS: a heavy gauge steel spring system provide the base for a wonderfully comfortable and long-lasting seat and should be placed 4”-5” apart to withstand the wear and tear that comes from everyday use. What type of spring system does your sofa have?

FRAMES: constructed of furniture grade laminates and solid kiln-dried hardwoods must be built to last.

Mortise and tenon, double dowel and corner block construction should be added to provide solid long lasting joints. Ask your retailer does the frame have a lifetime warranty? How are the corners built?

Eclectic, Spirited & Wonderfully comfortable the Maddox sectional by Robin Bruce.

CUSHIONS: cushion cores should be made with eco-friendly, high-resiliency foam and wrapped shape. Down feather jackets are also available. Ask your designer how long is the cushion warranty?

So you’re ready to buy. Look for a store with degreed designers, free interior designer service and clear sales, you will often be over paying. Look for a retailer that is looking to help you get the right sofa at the best price every day.

Peggy Kumler reflects on career, starting Old Mill Festival

By Sadie Hunter “ bPSXT/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Peggy Kumler is a familiar face in Noblesville.

She’s lived in the city for four decades, and for the past two COVER STORY she’s owned A Corner Cottage on the downtown square. But not all know her contribution to downtown as the mind behind one of Noblesville Main Street’s signature events – The Old Mill Festival.

Kumler served on the Noblesville Main Street board for eight years, retiring in 2013. During her time volunteering, she created, organized and chaired the Old Mill Festival event. “I was on the board for Noblesville Main Street, and at the time, there weren’t a lot of events like the Old Mill Festival going on,�

Kumler said. “We have so many people (in this area) who are so creative, and I thought, ‘We’ve got to do this. We just have to.’�

This year’s Old Mill Festival will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 16 on the square. It will feature dozens of local vendors and artisans.

The festival debuted in the spring of 2011 and was such a success that the organization held the event again the following fall.

In 2012, Kumler was recognized with the Merchant of the Year Award from Noblesville Main Street after leading the two events. “I came from that background,â€? Kumler said. “I did a lot of (craft and home dĂŠcor) shows before. When I finally decided to stop that, I went into Logan Village Mall (as a vendor) to sell. Eventually, I had to have my own place because I had too many ideas, and it has been successful.â€?

While a traveling vendor, Kumler was a painter of vintage-looking pictures. “I just wanted to learn to paint, so I went to painting classes, and when I did that, I loved it so much, I just couldn’t stop and

RUNNING THROUGH THE MILL Mill references in today’s Noblesville culture date to a time when the city was known for its flour mills, particularly the Noblesville Milling Company, which was housed in the Model Mill Building – what is now The Mill Top event center at the northeast corner of Mulberry and Eigth streets downtown. The Noblesville Milling Company produced Diadem and Kismet flours, and in the 1920s, a company manager purchased uniforms for a high school sports team if the team would agree to being called the Millers.

we were raising grandkids. So because of that, I wanted to be home more.�

A boutique that sells home dĂŠcor, furniture, clothes, accessories and more is one of the longest-standing stores of its kind on the square. “We get people from all over the country that come in here,â€? Kumler said. “You get to talk to the most amazing people, and they become friends.â€?

At 66, Kumler said she has no plans of slowing down or retiring. “Gosh, I’m having a blast. As much as I work, I am not sick of this at all,� she said. “We’re growing and expanding all the time.

I work (the store) to death. You just have to be on it and be creative all the time, but that’s what I love.�

Flushed reputation

O B S E RVAT I O N Tools at the ready Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Although television, films and the 24hour news cycle, populated by ubiquitous talking heads, might be flattening it a bit, we Americans can still enjoy some nice regional dialects. Brooklyn and Boston each have their own. New Orleans, the Midwest and the valleys of Los Angeles all have unique expressions and pitch. But among the favorites must be the eccentric and entertaining idioms of the great state of Texas. With a sure-fire twang and dead-eyed pithiness, our friends to the southwest get, grinning, to the heart of the matter.

If one is said to have a big hat, no cattle, it notes that the object of assessment is likely pretending to be of greater import than its actual holdings might support.

Another personal favorite is that hapless soul who is always fixing to get ready. We all know folks who make it their business to be in a constant state of planning. One might imagine that planning is good. Yes. Yet some of us spend so much of our lives preparing that we fail to reserve any time for the doing!

When is the preparation to end and the executing to begin? If we move too fast, we are rash and lack forethought. Still, if we move too slowly, we fall into a near endless loop of self-reinforcing insecurity.

As a young man, I asked a wise, elderly neighbor when was the best time to trim an overgrown shrub. The man responded by asking me if I had a sharp pair of clippers. He made a good point. Shouldn’t we have our tools ready (education, capital and relationships) so that we are set whenever an obstacle and the time to address it presents?

Last week, I was using the girls’ bathroom at the high school where I teach, and when I flushed, my keys and HUMOR ID badge fell into the toilet.

Suddenly aware of time epically slowing down, I plunged my longsleeve-shirted arm into the tainted water in a futile attempt to rescue them. Alas, the entire set-up was gone before I could even scream “NOOOOOOOO!” I then immediately relayed the story to everyone I saw. First, the three horrified juniors standing outside my stall, who’d heard everything but had no context. Then to my posse of teacher friends, chatting in the hallway. And finally, to my seventh-period class, who’d listen to anything if it meant a postponement of actual history stuff.

I assumed I’d be met with laughter and possible wishes for good luck as I navigated administration hell to obtain new credentials. But without exception, their expressions ranged from shock to disgust.

Why? Because I’d willingly stuck my hand into a bowl full of urine.

Look, people. I’m a mom. I’ve probably changed close to a million diapers, cleaned up enough to own a hazmat suit and continue to consistently “lose control” whenever I run, laugh or sneeze. Last month, when I had to scrub the basement toilet after it had been clogged for something like 13 days. I literally didn’t flinch. I’ve seen worse.

I acted on instinct, honed by years in the field of motherhood. My only thought was, “Save the keys!” But now I’m “that crazy teacher” from the bathroom with highly questionable decision-making skills.

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW Public input completely ignored Editor, (In regard to the Aug. 25 cover story,) the potential loss of the railroad only partially explains why the city is so divided over the Nickel Plate Railroad issue. Yes, losing this historic and profitable asset would be devastating and a huge waste of resources. But a more important reason for the division is the way this whole affair has been conducted. The public has been completely ignored throughout as our city leaders pretended to listen to the citizens, then proceeded to pursue their own agenda. The mayor is simply feeling the effects of his exceedingly unpopular position on this issue. The people are talking but he doesn’t want to hear them.

To him, it just sounds like divisiveness.

And who knows where he gets his facts. It seems he just makes them up to fit what he thinks. The Indiana Transportation Museum has asserted from the start that it could have run the Fair Train this year had the Port Authority let it. The Federal Railroad Administration ruled the

tracks were safe. A few thousand dollars in track maintenance was all that was required, not the $5-10 million the mayor cites. And that would have been ITM (private) money, not city (public) money. (The estimate of) $2.5 million to fix the Eighth Street tracks sounds ridiculous. They only run for five or six blocks. Maybe the mayor needs to bid that out to find a better deal.

Finally, it’s so tiring to hear the continued objections to building a trail next to the railroad. It is possible if we can only find the political will to do it, but it will be more expensive and more work. It sounds to me like our leaders just don’t want to work that hard. If the mayor has any hope of uniting this divided city he better be willing to start listening and working harder to serve the people who elected him.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com On Aug. 16, BlueSky Technology Partners, an e-commerce consulting company, opened its new DEVELOPMENT 42,000-square-foot headquarters in downtown Noblesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federal Hill District.

The company broke ground in June of last year after plans were finalized with the city to keep the business in Noblesville in May 2015.

BlueSky came to Noblesville more than a decade ago, moving into headquarters at 15570 Stony Creek Way but outgrew the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This facility has been a few years in the making from vision to reality and we could not be more pleased with the results,â&#x20AC;? owner Todd Irwin stated in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was to build a building that evoked quality, inspired innovation and architecturally helped to shape the community. Now, with this building as our North American headquarters, BlueSky is positioned to retain and attract top talent while continuing to offer consulting excellence to current and future clients.â&#x20AC;?

Officials cut the ribbon on the new BlueSky Technology Partners headquarters at 350 Westfield Rd. in downtown Noblesville.

Since July, BlueSky Technology Partners and BlueSky Digital have occupied the third and fourth floors. The new building also features state-of-the-art collaboration and meeting rooms, a break and game room and a fourth-floor terrace offering an eastward view of downtown and Federal Hill Commons.

At the ribbon cutting, it was also announced that Bru Burger Bar would open a

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.”

A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

CIAF gets proclamation UKULELE CLASSES RETURN TO PALLADIUM

Learn to play:

By Mark Ambrogi Â&#x201C; \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Geoff Davis once again has found a regular teaching spot at The Palladium.

Davis first started giving ukulele lessons at The Palladium in 2013 prior to ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert in January 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was supposed to be one time, but then it kept growing,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then what happens is you saturate the market after a year.â&#x20AC;?

Davis Davis, a Noblesville resident, was asked to return, then returned again to provide a lead-in before Shimabukuroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert in November 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the people from our first classes heard I was doing it again and came back,â&#x20AC;?

Davis said. The four-week sessions quickly expanded and went from November to May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the summer the interest built up again,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, who teaches sixth grade at Francis M. Parker Montessori School in Indianapolis. He also teaches ukulele at Indianapolis Public Schools.

The beginner class is full for the fall session, but the four-week intermediate class is open 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. Sept. 13 to Oct. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that draws people to ukulele is it is small, so you can take it anywhere,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be a beginner. After one lesson, I can have someone playing a song.

Then we have a lot of fun. We laugh a lot and joke around a lot.â&#x20AC;?

What: A four-week ukulele intermediate class with Geoff Davis is open for registration.

When: 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.

Sept. 13 to Oct. 4 Where: The Palladium, 1 Center Green, Carmel.

Price: $50 For more: thecenterpresents.org

editorial@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, by proclamation last week, declared Sept. 23-24 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carmel International Arts Festival Celebration of the Artsâ&#x20AC;? in recognition of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th anniversary.

The proclamation states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carmel International Arts Festival celebrates 20 years working to educate and create an understanding and appreciation for the value of art in the home, the school, the community, and the world.â&#x20AC;?

Next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival will feature more artists and food vendors than in years past as well as local favorites and new faces for the entertainment stage. The focal point is Art Rocks, a free public concert by The Bishops from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 23 in celebration of the milestone.

The festival, on Main Street and Range Line Road, runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 23 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 24. Admission and parking are free.

Geoff Davis teaches students at The Palladium. (Submitted photo)

Davis, 54, learned to play the ukulele when he was 6 years old. He learned from his parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nothing I really had to learn. It was like walking and talking,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 18 years ago, I started teaching at IPS at the Key Learning Community, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I started a ukulele program for kids called Key Strummers. We became Gov. (Frank) Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite band, and we played all over the state.â&#x20AC;?

The Key Strummers, comprised of elementary students, actually played at the late-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service in 2003. The Key Learning Center was closed in the spring of 2016.

In addition, Davis is a wood-carving artist.

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

The top tailgate dessert is a bar that the tailgater can enjoy while standing and without a fork. A dessert like that also saves on space, which is often limited during a tailgate. Here is a recipe for No Bake Peanut Butter Cup Bars. Pack in a square container in your food cooler.

Ingredients: 4 cups crushed graham crackers, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup melted margarine or butter, 1 cup melted chocolate chips Directions: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Be sure to keep any and all water from the chocolate.

In a bowl, mix grahams, sugar and peanut butter. Add the melted margarine and press the mixture into an ungreased 9-by-13 baking pan. Top with the melted chocolate.

Cool and cut into bars 12 bars. These taste like peanut butter cups, only better.

Blueprint for Improvement: family-friendly kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS:

Before

Background Info: This 1960s home in the Sylvan Ridge neighborhood in northern Indianapolis was a perfect space for the owners to grow with their young family.

The original kitchen, however, was closed off from their living space.

The goal was to create an open-concept kitchen that blended with the adjoining spaces and increase overall functionality so the owners could grow with their family!

1. The largest modification included removing the wall between the kitchen and the living room and replacing it with bar seating for the kids.

2. The next significant change was removing the bulkheads, making the height of the ceiling flush with the connecting spaces.

3. Additional changes included removing the peninsula that divided the kitchen from the bay window. This allowed a contrasting island with a single-bowl sink and a microwave drawer.

4. The addition of a pull-out snack pantry and spice accessories allowed for more efficient storage.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS: The previous kitchen was confined by a wall and two small doorways dividing the area from the remainder of the lower level, making the space appear small. Additionally, the bulkheads made the ceilings appear lower and broken up. The kitchen still had its original cabinets, which lacked appeal and functionality.

If you suspect your child may have a learning disability or behavior problem, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have him evaluated by a psychologist who specializes in educational evaluations. There are generally three basic types of evaluations: an initial evaluation to determine a child's eligibility for special education, a re-evaluation of a child who has already undergone an initial evaluation and an independent evaluation.

Federal law requires school districts to identify, locate and evaluate students with disabilities which adversely affect their education. If you suspect your child has a disability, ask his school for an initial evaluation.

Always put your request in writing. Even if you talk to the teacher in person or on the phone and she agrees to set it up, I have parents send an email to the teacher and copy 2-3 other school employees, such as the special education director and a counselor or principal, simply confirming the conversationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or just put the request in an email to begin with. This makes it harder for the school to claim that it "never received" your request for an evaluation and is good evidence documenting your request.

The school generally has to provide the evaluation at no cost to the parent, but there are a couple of conditions. First, the parent has to consent to the school psychologist conducting the evaluation. If you request an evaluation and the school agrees to provide it, the school does not have to perform it until you sign a consent form allowing it to do so.

This is an exception to the general advice I give parents: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign anything. Your child will not be eligible for special education until he has been evaluated, so signing the consent to have the school psychologist evaluate him is an important step toward getting the services he needs.

Sign it!

Second, the school has 50 school days after you sign the consent to complete the evaluation and meet with you to discuss the results. If you wait until the end of the school year to sign the consent, the 50 days do not begin to run until school startsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;your request is on â&#x20AC;&#x153;holdâ&#x20AC;? all summer.

For this reason, it's best to sign the consent as early in the school year as possible. If you ask the school for an evaluation and it refuses or you disagree with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evaluation, contact me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to advise you on your options.

A re-evaluation may be appropriate for a child who hasn't been evaluated recently, especially if his condition changes or he develops a new diagnosis. Under the law, a school only has to "consider" re-evaluation every three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;basically a meaningless requirement. All a school has to do is say "OK--we 'considered' re-evaluating Johnny, so we've complied with the law." This another reason itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea for parents to ask for an evaluation or re-evaluation.

Another option is an independent educational evaluation, or IEE. This is performed by a private psychologist who is not affiliated with the school district. I prefer these evaluations over school evaluations because the psychologist is not biased in favor of the school and will recommend services based on the child's needs as opposed to the cost to the school district. If you choose an IEE, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to see a psychologist experienced with educational evaluations. The two situations where I generally recommend parents get an IEE are when the child needs an evaluation done sooner than the 50 school days or if the parent disagrees with the school's evaluation. There are certain procedures to follow if you want the school to pay for an IEE, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to speak with a lawyer familiar with special education law before pursuing this.

If you think your child may need an educational evaluation, feel free to call (317/569-2200) or email me (tblessing@hzlegal.com) for a free consultation. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to answer your questions, review documents and refer you to a qualified private psychologist.

The Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have it Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Stop! Grammar time.

If you watch â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelor â&#x20AC;&#x153;(which I most definitely do GRAMMAR GUY not), you probably hear the following phrase ad nauseam during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;confessionalâ&#x20AC;? videos: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Topher and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship is really special. I think he may be the one.â&#x20AC;? Then the next girl comes in and says literally the exact same thing.

It seems like the natural thing to say.

In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? example, Topher and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;? share a relationship. In order to make Topher possessive (which he totally is, by the way), you would add â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Topherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Pretty easy.

Now, to make â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;? possessive, you actually get rid of it altogether and replace it with â&#x20AC;&#x153;my.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Myâ&#x20AC;? is the possessive form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I.â&#x20AC;? So, to correctly speak or write this sentence, you would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Topherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my relationship is really special.â&#x20AC;? I know that sounds awkward, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct. If you want to avoid this awkward linguistic limbo, you can simply say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our relationship is really special.â&#x20AC;?

When you are referring to two or

more people who share the same thing, you only need to add â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s to the last person listed. So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a contestant on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelor,â&#x20AC;? and you are referring to another girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with our boy Topher, you would write/say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Topher and Krystynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship makes me want to hurl.â&#x20AC;? Even though thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrible way to spell Kristen, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grammatically correct sentence.

In the case of multiple owners who have separate ownership, you add â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to each name. Krystyn and Ashlee each have a different relationship with Topher, so if you were griping about their relationships, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Krystynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Ashleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationships with Topher make me want to eat my feelings.â&#x20AC;?

This grammar terminology of compound ownership is called compound, or joint, possession. And while joint possession is still illegal in most states, good grammar is always welcome.

Statue of Ronald Reagan in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Budapestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dueling memorials Commentary by Don Knebel

Americans strolling through Budapest are often surprised to encounter a bronze likeness of Ronald Reagan TRAVEL near Hungaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnificent Parliament Building. They are even more surprised that he is striding toward a memorial honoring the Soviet Red Army. There is a story here.

In early 1945, Hungary, aligned with Germany during World War II, surrendered to Russian troops and came under the control of the Soviet Union. The Soviets removed statues from Freedom Square, an area southeast of the Parliament Building, and erected a large stone obelisk in the center of the square celebrating the â&#x20AC;&#x153;liberationâ&#x20AC;? of Hungary by the Red Army. Many in Budapest did not see the Red Army as liberators, especially after that army put down an anti-Soviet uprising in 1956.

After the break-up of the Soviet Union, Budapest residents wanted to remove the Red Army memorial, but a treaty guaranteed its continued presence. So they decided to dilute the memorialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significance

with a memorial of their own. In 1996, with funding from a local real estate developer, residents erected a statue of Imre Nagy, a hero of the 1956 uprising, between the Red Army memorial and the Parliament Building.

Nagy is standing on a bridge, with his back to the memorial and his face toward Parliament, a symbol of Hungarian independence.

In 2010, nationalist politicians demanded the removal of the memorial to the Red Army. Fears of Russian reprisals led to another memorial. In 2011, a 7-foot statue of Ronald Reagan, who had not been in Budapest during his presidency, was erected between the Red Army memorial and the Parliament Building to recognize President Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions to the collapse of the Soviet Union. A vigorous-looking president stares right through the Red Army memorial toward the United States Embassy on the other side.
