County’s 2020 budget proposal changes during public presentation

By Sadie Hunter sadie@yoaurecurrent.com

A public presentation of Hamilton County’s 2020 operating budget of just under $100 million took an unexpected turn when some members MONEY of the Hamilton County Council voted to suspend their own rules to make changes at a recent meeting, nearly one month after finalizing two days of budget hearings.

The Sept. 4 council meeting served as the public hearing portion of the budget process.

Only one resident, Mark Hall of Noblesville, spoke.

He questioned the justification of raises for county employees and elected officials, who are set to receive 7 percent and 3 percent increases respectively, in 2020. He also questioned funding for the Youth Assistance Program, an early intervention advocacy group that helps at-risk youth.

Councilor Amy Massillamany explained the difference between the 7 percent proposed increase and the 2.8 national average for pay increases, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.

“Regarding the 7 percent, roughly four years ago it was determined that (the county) had some inequities in how we were paying our employees, and if you looked at someone in the same classification, there could have been disparagement between their salaries,” she said. “When we went through the process of (adapting) to what I will call ‘the market,’ we (decided to implement the change) in two-year increases, but in order to maintain, we did it annually this year, so it was compared up through 2018 in order to stay competitive and retain the people that we have, bring more people to the county government entity when job openings are available, and that’s what the study ultimately indicated. So, I made the decision to vote for it based on that information.”

Other councilors echoed Massillamany’s concerns about employee retention and support, but councilor Fred Glynn specifically spoke against raises for elected officials.

“I didn’t vote for pay increases for elected officials,” Glynn said. “I won’t vote for any increase for myself or anybody else. We went off a study that was presented to us, and we have to compare it to other governments and what they’re making. I do stand by the vote to give some of our employees raises, but I do not support giving elected officials raises.”

County Coroner John Chalfin had requested a 30 percent pay increase in 2020, which was denied during budget hearings after councilors agreed he would receive a 3 percent raise, like many other elected officials.

But during the Sept. 4 meeting, Massillamany and councilors Ken Alexander, Steve Schwartz and Jeff

Hern voted to suspend the rules and approve a 14 percent increase for Chalfin in 2020, raising his annual salary to $80,000.

Council President Brad Beaver expressed frustration just before the 4-3 vote was taken.

“Remember, there were other elected officials that asked for a raise that didn’t get them,” he said.

In addition to a proposed change for Chalfin, Massillamany, Alexander, Schwartz and Hern also voted to suspend rules to vote in favor of hiring three additional Hamilton County employees for the Youth Assistance Program.

During the two-day budget hearings, leadership from YAP had requested the additional positions but instead was given a $240,000 stipend to be used at their discretion.

Beaver said other county departments also requested increases in staff but those requests were significantly cut down.

“We already supply (YAP) with two full-time employees paid out of the county general fund,” Beaver said. “What they were asking for was three more on the county payroll. I don’t want another county department.”

Massillamany said she was in favor of the of the three positions for YAP because it was first proposed, resulting in her motion to suspend rules to switch three part-time YAP employees to full time and eliminate the $240,000 stipend.

Because the three positions are now full-time, they will receive the county benefits package.

“We cut the parks department (request) down to one employee, and then we turn around and give these guys exactly what they want, and they’re not even a county department,” Glynn said. “When this motion goes through, that will cost us more than the $240,000 we were going to give them. This will be a permanent strain on our budget.”

The council will vote on adoption of the 2020 budget at a special meeting at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 16 in conference room 1A at the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center, 1 Hamilton County Square., Noblesville. If approved, the budget will be sent to the state for final approval before going into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Cities, county and state break ground on Ind. 37 overhaul

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@yoaurecurrent.com Several years in the making, a $126 million project to overhaul Ind. 37 in Fishers and Noblesville with roundabout interchanges has broken ground.

TRANSPORTATION On Sept. 9, a number of stakeholders, including officials from the Indiana Dept. of Transportation, Noblesville, Fishers and Hamilton County, gathered to ceremonially put shovels in the ground at 126th Street and Ind. 37, which was the backdrop for the groundbreaking.

More than 50,000 vehicles are estimated to travel the north-south corridor each day. County and state officials said although lanes will be limited, the road will remain open through construction, which is expected to be complete by November 2022.

Hamilton County leadership breaks ground Sept. 9 on the Ind. 37 project that will convert intersections from stoplight interchanges to “While major road construction isn’t easy on any of us, roundabout exits through Fishers and Noblesville.

Local ILEARN scores surpass state average

By Sadie Hunter sadie@yoaurecurrent.com The Indiana Dept. of Education recently released scores from its ILEARN test from Spring 2019 for school EDUCATION districts across the state.

Of 495,895 students tested statewide in grades three through eight, 37.1 percent tested with a proficiency in the English language arts and math portions of the test. However, in Hamilton County, most school corporations scored higher than the state average.

Results for all Hamilton County are as follows: • Carmel Clay Schools – 66.7 percent proficiency (7,412 tested) • Hamilton Heights School Corp. – 36.7 percent proficiency (977 tested) • Hamilton Southeastern Schools – 56.1 percent proficiency (9,841 tested) • Noblesville Schools – 53.2 percent proficiency (4,842 tested) • Sheridan Community Schools – 38.3 percent proficiency (452 tested) • Westfield-Washington Schools – 57.1 percent proficiency (3,631 tested) IDOE officials said statewide, ILEARN scores were expected to “dip” compared to past results from the test it replaced, ISTEP+. The ILEARN test was mandated by the state legislature in 2017 “While the 2019 ILEARN results do not provide a true reflection of the performance of Indiana’s schools, they do once again show us the importance of developing a modernized state legislated accountability system that is fair, accurate and transparent,” State Supt. Jennifer McCormick said. “With this in mind, the department will propose the following legislative actions: place a ‘hold harmless’ year on 2018-2019 letter grades, pause intervention timelines for all schools, and provide the (Indiana) State Board of Education with emergency rulemaking authority to review and reestablish the state accountability system. The success and wellbeing of our students, educators and schools are dependent upon these actions.”

Animal cruelty laws updated

By Sadie Hunter sadie@yoaurecurrent.com

In November, a county ordinance enhancing protection for animals will go into effect.

On Sept. 9, Hamilton County UPDATE Commissioners unanimously approved an update to its animal ordinance, which will toughen guidelines for caring for domesticated animals.

The changes begin Nov. 15.

Changes include new temperature guidelines for extreme-weather conditions and clearer definitions of what is considered adequate food, water, shelter, ventilation and veterinary care.

New definitions and penalties have also been added for home and commercial breeders. The changes also further define and strengthen penalties for animal abuse.

“For me, this was a pretty easy ‘yes,’” Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said. “Our chambers were packed with more than 100 people (Sept. 9), nearly all of them in favor of the amendments. The overwhelming support of our citizens tells me these changes were long overdue.”

The ordinance states that if the outdoor temperature is at or below 40 degrees,

animals must have accommodations to retain body heat or must be moved to a climate-controlled area. The same rules apply in warmer months when the outdoor temperature is at or above 80 degrees.

In addition, animals must have access to shade. In extreme weather conditions, including heat advisory, wind chill warning or tornado warnings, animals are required to be routinely monitored or moved to a climate-controlled area.

The ordinance also outlines general veterinary care requirements. Domesticated animals like ferrets, cats and dogs must be vaccinated every 12 months from prior vaccinations.

“We believe this is a precedent-setting ordinance,” said Rebecca Stevens, president and CEO of the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Although the ordinance affects the entire county, municipal animal codes supersede it.

“We’ve done our due diligence to develop an ordinance we feel could serve as a best practice for other communities. In fact, we’d like to see this same ordinance adopted by all the cities and towns in Hamilton County.”

Noblesville is following suit with area communities with the formation of a Toastmasters Club.

ORGANIZATION Tricia Fox, a Noblesville resident and member of the Westfield Toastmasters Club, is serving as the all-volunteer group’s area director until it becomes chartered.

“There used to be a club (in Noblesville), and I’m not sure of the history, but it closed because of a lack of enthusiasm and commitment,” Fox said. “So, we want to revive it. Westfield’s club is very vibrant and kind of busting at the seams, and so is the Fishers club. We figured that since (those) are so active, there’s probably a need or want.”

Founded in 1924, Toastmasters International is a nonprofit with the goal of empowering individuals to be more effective communicators and leaders. Worldwide, there are more than 16,600 clubs, 8,800 of which are in the U.S. The group meets weekly at 7 p.m. Thursdays at Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza, Noblesville. Each meeting has a variety of exercises, including speeches and impromptu speaking, “It works as an incubator for growth, so learning how to give people constructive feedback is really important as a leader, and also being able to receive constructive feedback with the intention of growing,” Fox said.

On Sept. 19, the group will hold a public open house at 7 p.m. at the library. Tommy Richardson, a distinguished Toastmaster, will speak. Food and raffles will be available for guests.

NHS great Davis remembered for kindness, leadership

Introducing Our Straightforward Pricing for Orthodontics

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Jill Almodovar was a freshman when she joined senior Krissi Davis on the Noblesville High School volleyball IN MEMORIAM and basketball teams.

“Krissi took me under her wing,” said Almodovar, whose maiden name is Lyon. “She became a sister, basically. She took me everywhere. She was that kind of friend. Krissi was one of those people that if you were in her tribe, you were in her tribe forever. That bond was the same, no matter how many weeks it was since you saw each other.”

Davis, 51, died unexpectedly in her sleep Sept. 7. Almodovar said it was a shock to all.

“Krissi gave 100 percent to every single thing she did,” she said. “Krissi was a gogetter. Those of us who were part of her tribe will be blessed with her for the rest of our lives. For me, personally, she taught me how to be a winner, taught me how to be a teammate. Those are things you take with you the rest of your life. I’ve heard from so many teammates and coaches who coached her. We’re just heartbroken.”

Davis, a 1987 NHS graduate, helped lead the Millers to an unbeaten state basketball championship as a senior. She was a twotime basketball team MVP at Notre Dame and was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017, individually and as a member of the 1987 state championship team.

Almodovar is in her third stint as the Millers volleyball coach. In her first stint, Davis was her assistant coach, and the team won back-to-back sectional titles in 2001-02.

“I begged her to coach with me all three times, but she only came that first time,” Almodovar said. “Krissi was into horse therapy and working with animals. She was big in the Humane Society (and) had other interests besides athletics.”

Davis, who was single and a part-owner of Davis-Haslam, Inc., an industrial supplies company, with her brother, Mike, cherished her two dogs, Maggie and Roxy. She was named Elk Member of the Year in 2018 by Lodge No. 576.

Pete Smith, former Guerin Catholic and Noblesville basketball coach, had been friends with Davis for more than 25 years.

“She was just an outstanding representative of Noblesville’s community,” Smith said.

“She came back to Noblesville after college.

Her passion was there, and she was a Miller.”

Smith had met with Davis Sept. 5 to discuss an Elks charity golf fundraiser and had asked her to chair golf tournament, the previous year.

“She not only chaired it, but she knocked it out of the park,” Smith said. “It was the most money we ever raised for it.”

Smith said Davis was committed to improvement, offering suggestions.

“She was an outside-the-box thinker,” he said.

Smith said Davis celebrated her birthday Sept. 4 with friends at the Elks. He said he first met her when he was the basketball coach at NHS from 1991 to 1994 and got to know her better when he left to coach at Penn High School in Mishawaka and was living with then-Notre Dame men’s basketball assistant and now Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, who was then dating and later married Margaret Nowlin. Nowlin and Davis were former Notre Dame teammates.

“Krissi would come up and stay at our house to see Margaret,” Smith said.

Services were held Sept. 13 at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church and Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville.

Contributions may be made to the Noblesville High School Scholarship program in Davis’ name. Checks should be mailed to First Merchants Bank, Logan Street – Noblesville, PO Box 792, Muncie IN 47308. Contributions also can be made to Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Rd., Kanab, Utah 84741, or at bestfriends.org.

It seems everywhere we look or every time we turn on the news, another company got hacked and millions of TECH volumes of personal information got stolen by thieves to be traded to other thieves. We then scurry to try and save our identities and accounts from being compromised and have to deal with all the frustrations that go with those activities.

But what if we can just erase our identities online so no one can find us anymore?

Is that a dream or a reality? In fact, there are ways one can delete his or her identity online and erase any web presence 99.9 percent of the time with an ongoing online monitoring. Recommendations are to: • Delete or deactivate your shopping accounts, social and web networks.

• Remove or deactivate your data at collection sites.

• Scour the internet for your name

by Googling yourself and then send requests to websites that have your information.

• Delete any search results pointing to you through Google.

• Physically delete your email accounts.

As you can tell, this is not easy and can be time-consuming. Many companies have popped up to provide these types of services, and they range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, plus the cost of ongoing ID monitoring.

These services range from credit-file reporting and monitoring all the way to true clearweb and dark-web monitoring and erasure of identities.

So, what can you do to erase your identity? Follow the aforementioned recommendations and/or contact the credit bureaus and place monitoring on your file — including freezes. Then contact private companies, like DeleteMe, which provide the niche service of online erasure and check the different ways they can remove your online Identity. Finally, if all else fails and you’re savvy enough, you can hire your own hacker to do all this for you.

So, yes, you can delete yourself form the Internet and get your privacy back.

County officials split on need for new income tax

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com City and town councils across Hamilton County soon will vote on whether to approve a 0.1 percent PUBLIC SAFETY increase to the 1 percent local income tax to fund and improve the county’s 911 communications center.

The town council of Arcadia, a town of 1,600 people north of Cicero, recently voted in favor of the tax, triggering a process that requires it to be considered by all Hamilton County city and town councils. To go into effect, councils representing more than half of the county’s population must approve the tax increase. That means if approved

by Carmel and Fishers, whose populations comprise nearly 60 percent of the county, the tax would be approved and go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

The proposed tax could more evenly spread the cost of funding the 911 communications center across all county residents.

Currently, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield combine to pay more than $5 million to run the center, with a statewide user fee charged to phone users covering $3.6 million. The county, small towns and townships are responsible for less than $1 million.

Previously, the county’s four largest cities helped subsidize the service for the small towns and townships, but Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman said officials from the large cities decided Altman they no longer wanted to absorb those costs.

Beginning this year, Hamilton County’s small towns and townships are responsible to jointly contribute $500,000 annually, an amount determined based on the number of calls to an area. The county agreed to phase in the amount they owe, with $50,000 due in 2019 and the amount increasing by 10 percent each year until they are paying the full amount. In the meantime, the county is funding the difference.

But even with only 10 percent of the full cost due this year, the small towns are having a difficult time finding the funds, Altman said, partially because of state-mandated tax caps. And she doesn’t expect it to get any easier as their bill grows.

“Is it fair for the county to supplement

the north versus the south (part of the county)?” Altman said. “We didn’t want to get into that, so we had to come up with a plan where everybody felt comfortable and everybody was paying their fair share.”

The 911 communications center, housed in the basement of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, handles more than 300,000 calls each year. It began dispatching all police and fire departments in the county after Carmel, Noblesville and Hamilton County consolidated their dispatch centers in 2012.

Rick McKinney, an at-large member of the Hamilton County Council, which handles the county’s finances, said the tax increase isn’t necessary.

“We haven’t had a problem for the first five or six McKinney years (of consolidation), so we’re fixing a half-a-million-dollar problem with a $17 million tax increase,” he said. “It’s sort of like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.”

If the tax is approved, municipalities will no longer be required to pay a service fee to use the 911 dispatch center because the tax will fully cover its operation. In Carmel, that means the city would have $1.8 million to use elsewhere.

The tax is expected to raise approximately $16 million annually for the county, which is roughly $5 million more than its current budget, another concern for McKinney.

“There is no need right now for that extra money,” he said. “It will just go into an account and wait until the mayors and commissioner (who comprise the county’s 911 communications operations board) decide they need to spend it on something.”

Altman, who serves on the 911 communications operations board, and other county officials have proposed using some of the additional funds to pay for a new, freestanding 911 dispatch center.

Altman said she understands that nobody wants to pay new taxes but that this one is “the most palatable.”

“But we also need to be empathetic to the smaller communities that don’t have the same resources,” Altman said. “Those folks deserve the same service if they are in the county. I think this is a method to make sure that continues.”

In recent years, Boone and Hancock counties joined dozens of others across the state in adopting a similar tax.

City, parks department begin work to reinvigorate downtown park

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@yoaurecurrent.com For two years, a small park in downtown Noblesville has been the focus of the city’s parks department staff.

A redesign of the park has been COVER STORY under way to reinvigorate its use. Last week, the city and parks department broke ground to mark the start of the reconstruction, set for a mid-November completion.

Features include a new, larger gazebo and gazebo plaza; streetlamp lighting on the perimeter and along pathways in the park; installation of Edison lighting; large swaths of landscaping; new benches and tables; a metal archway into the park; a water fountain along one of the paths; an extension of electrical accessibility; and more shade trees, among other amenities.

“We’ll be doing new sight lighting throughout with streetlights like the rest of downtown, because this is kind of the gateway (from 10th Street) to downtown,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said. “We’ll be doing Edison lighting throughout as well. There will be a lot of landscaping Bennett beds. There’s going to be a plaza out in front of the gazebo to serve as a gathering space in addition to connectivity (via) pathways to each side of the park.

“The playground is staying because it’s not that old, but we will be installing new fencing around it, and it will be more of an ornate, black fence. Everything is going to have a similar theme as far as trying to look a little bit more elevated.”

The project hit a road bump several months ago when contractors’ estimates came back to the city much higher than expected.

“We actually re-bid the project, which we had to do because estimates came in higher than planned,” Bennett said.

Adjustments were made before the project was re-bid.

Some features were taken out of the plans, including colored concrete and a shade structure above park benches.

Other items, like the purchase of the gazebo, lighting and artwork, were removed from the request sent to contractors and placed on a list of “owner-provided” items.

“The contract for the project is $322,000,” Bennett said.

“But we are going to then be providing some of those owner-provided items in addition to that, and that was to try and help us save money. It just means that I could go and procure some items cheaper than I could if I went through the contractor, but they still have in their price some of the installation of those items. There’s probably another $100,000 in owner-provided items.”

Bennett said the total cost will be just above $400,000 because he is expecting donations and sponsorships.

Of that total, $290,000 was from a community development block grant. Another $75,000 came from the Downtown District Committee fund, and park impact fees of up to $100,000 will be tapped, if needed.

Bennett said he hopes some of the features that had to be removed from original plans will eventually work their way back into the long-term plan.

“There are going to be some things we will add in the future because there are a couple of things we had to cut out to keep cost down,” he said. “Those would have to be funded a different way, or we’d have to have a fundraising campaign or donation. If it’s art, we could potentially get

some grants for it.”

One of the most noticeable features will be an archway entrance at the corner of 10th and Division streets. Last week, the parks department put out a request for quotation with a goal to contract a local metal artist for the project.

Bennett said he expects the feature to cost approximately $6,000.

“From an aesthetic standpoint, we want it to be more usable,” Bennett said. “I want it to be more of a community park where people will come out and use the gazebo. I see smaller happenings in there, small weddings or other events. It should definitely be more efficient for those types of things. I am hoping it reactivates the park.”

Mid-November has been set as the completion date for overall improvements at the park. Last year’s inaugural Lights Over Seminary, a display of the city’s antique holiday lights, will return for December’s First Friday festivities, in partnership with Noblesville Main Street, the city, Nickel Plate Arts and the Noblesville Preservation Alliance, Dec. 6. Bennett said the plan is to have all park improvements completed to give those organizations a couple of weeks to plan and set up the display.

ESSAY

LETTER

Who is we?

Hold Trump accountable

Commentary by Terry Anker We live in a land of privilege. Yes, we do. When invoking the royal prerogative, we suddenly imbue the power of the collective. Our voice now represents many. Our countenance now reflects the posture of the masses. We is the spokesperson for the movement, generation and family. We is the “one” that will speak for all. But, who appointed us we? Was there an interview, a standardized test, or an arm-wrestling competition? Probably not. On this one, perhaps the most important we of all, one must only claim unity first.

We columnists (actually, a reader rightly pointed out that it, at times, should be “us” columnists) do it all the time: assert a position and hold that it represents the reasoned view of all sentient beings. But other than ego and an unremarkable understanding of the body politic, is the prerogative defendable? Or, is it all just a keen sense of observation — or, more concernedly, an unabashed drive to the first-mover advantage?

Political leaders routinely claim to be we. “We have suffered that” is unabashedly linked to “We all, every one of us, think that.” Maybe. When we means our community, what is it to which we are condemning others? Is it clear that we know best?

Left or right, we is the hobgoblin of the docile set — happy to follow the lead of someone else’s directive. Good. It is much easier than thinking, and it is considerably much easier than defending a decidedly not we position.

The Sunday talking heads question the nuanced importance of the Founder’s “individual.” Is that we really me? Do we care? We’d guess not.

Resuming the dance of joy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I announced this exciting news in May but it bears repeating: My tiny dancer is back in action! That’s right, after a year’s sabbatical from competition, our youngest HUMOR has decided to return to the thrilling and sometimes tawdry world of dance! And you know what that means? I’m a dance mom again! Woohoo!

Because in the long run, peeps, it’s all about me. Sure, I supported her decision to hang up her tap shoes and focus on school, knowing she needed a physical and mental break from the often overwhelming pressure. But deep down, I kept my fingers crossed that she’d (read: we’d) return. For five years, I’d been a dance mom, driving to and from rehearsals, creating the perfect low buns, pinning straps and sewing up fishnets, scrutinizing other performers, scouring sketchy streets for the specified fast-food order and silently shaming scantily clad tweens and their mothers. My life had

been just as much wrapped up in sequins and booty shorts and stupid judges who don’t know true talent when they see it as hers had been. In hindsight, this hiatus might have been more painful for me and my limited social life than it was for her. She has a ton of non-dance friends. I don’t. It’s not how I roll!

So, what does this mean for you? Basically, come January 2020, prepare for a slew of insightful and usually hilarious commentaries on girl dance drama, in all its bedazzled glory. I promise to bring my keen observation skills to every competition, every dressing room, every awards ceremony and every post-event ride home, to ensure high-quality entertainment for you, my adoring public.

You’re welcome. Jazz hands out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

— Steve Jobs

Editor, More than 130 congressional representatives have taken a stand against corruption and support an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. It’s imperative that every member of Congress recognize the danger of letting Trump get away with his criminal activity and publicly support an impeachment inquiry. It would be unconscionable to do otherwise.

We’ve got the facts. (Special counsel) Bob Mueller did not exonerate Trump — not by a long shot. His investigation found extensive criminal activity and resulted in 37 indictments and at least seven convictions or guilty pleas, including Trump’s national security advisor, personal lawyer and campaign chairman.

No one is above the law in our country, not even the president.

Mueller did his job. It’s time for Congress to do theirs. That’s why our representatives must publicly voice their support for holding Trump accountable through a formal impeachment inquiry.

Doing nothing will only embolden Trump to continue breaking the law and will set a dangerous precedent for our democracy.

That’s not the America I know.

Wendy Wheeler, Noblesville

READERS’ VIEWS Rails with trails is more practical Editor, As a central Indiana resident and chairman of the Board of Indiana Trails, I am appalled to learn there were no satisfactory bids to do a complete job of removing the Nickel Plate Railroad tracks, ties and rail spikes, and then rebuild the railroad crossings impacted. Yet, the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority still voted to move forward.

There is a simple, practical answer to the situation that would actually be more beneficial to the community: Leave the tracks where they are and create a biking/ jogging/hiking/walking trail along the rightof-way of the existing tracks. That course of action would save the taxpayers the substantial expense of removing the beds and building new crossings at street and road intersections.

Plenty of evidence exists of “rails and trails” coexisting for the benefit of the communities they serve. An analysis of the existing Nickel Plate right-of-way reveals there is sufficient space for a synergistic

solution that will allow the creation of the trail and keep the railroad tracks for historic and entertainment purposes.

Trains are demonstrably popular among the people of Indiana, and the Indiana (State) Fair trains proved to be popular when they ran fairgoers from Fishers to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. A trail along the Nickel Plate would very likely prove to be appreciated by the public, and keeping the rails for their potential development as educational artifacts of our community’s history makes sense.

As a child, I remember the excitement and fun of riding the old Grand Trunk Railroad from Chicago to Flint, Mich. In recent years, I have enjoyed taking my grandchildren to ride on existing museums on rails in Indiana.

Let’s do something positive for the northeast side of our community: Develop the “rails and trails” potential of the Nickel Plate.

Tom Williams Chairman, Indiana Trails, Inc.

Leave the tracks where they are and create a biking/jogging/hiking/ walking trail along the right-of-way of the existing tracks.

Three steps to improve our waters Editor’s note: This letter was written after the second Indiana Water Summit and Forums, held at Conner Prairie in Fishers and in Indianapolis.

Editor, The recent Indiana Water Summit and pre-Summit forums created a designated space for critical, integrated water conversations that will protect Indiana’s shared water future. Three key actions will lead the way.

Continue to educate the public and build public will. Safe and ample water is needed to make our dinners, bathe our children and keep our industries running. The essential roles that water plays in our daily lives make it imperative that we purposefully spotlight the irreplaceable value of our water supply and garner support for community-based conservation strategies.

Switch to conservative farming practices for win-wins. A panel of award-winning farmers at the summit explained how their soil health strategies have increased net profits by $57.76 per acre since switching to conservation farming practices.

Plan and prepare for water crises now. Flooding was identified as the largest looming concern, according to climate scientists. There is an urgent need for Indiana to elevate the value it places on floodplains, wetlands and more sustainable stormwater management practices to reduce the risks we face.

The White River Alliance plans to continue to facilitate critical cooperation through future regional forums and the third Water Summit event in 2020. To get involved, visit thewhiteriveralliance.org.

Hot Toddy’s now open

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For years, Todd Keys made granola for friends and family. They encouraged him to sell it.

NEW BIZ “So I started selling it at the farmers market where I grew up in Winchester about seven years ago,” Keys said. “Hot Toddy’s became an actual business five years ago.”

From there, Keys said it kept expanding until Hot Toddy’s opened a spot in Broccoli Bill’s, 15009 Gray Rd., in Noblesville Aug. 25.

A grand opening is set for the first weekend in October.

Keys’ first farmers market in the Indianapolis area was Saxony Market in Fishers.

“Now, we do several different farmers’ markets,” he said. “My mother does the one we do in Winchester.”

Because he was selling granola, he decided to sell other items like cookies, muffins, pound cake, brownies, fruit preserves and apple butter.

“In the store, I plan to do all those things, like cakes and pies and maybe candies, fudge, toffee and peanut brittle,” Keys said.

The plan is to be open during regular

Earl Anderson, left, and Todd Keys in Hot Toddy’s new retail space. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

Broccoli Bill’s hours, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Keys is joined in the baking business by co-owner Earl Anderson. They live together on the northwest side of Indianapolis.

“I do most of the baking, and he does office and bookkeeping,” Keys said.

Keys said they met Bill Weghorst, owner of Broccoli Bill’s, at a food safety course.

“We made the connection and decided it would be a good fit,” Keys said. “Earl was managing a restaurant at the time, and he decided to leave that and pursue this full time.

We thought it was a good opportunity for our brand to have a retail store presence.”

Williams honored to earn spot in Songbook Hall of Fame

By Mark Ambrogi •mark@youarecurrent.com A younger generation was introduced to the multiple talents of Paul Williams through the 2011 documentary aptly named “Paul Williams Still Alive.”

Anyone alive in the 1970s doesn’t need to ACHIEVEMENT be introduced to Williams, a 5-foot-2 singer/ songwriter/actor who was a regular on “The Tonight Show,” appeared in “Smokey and the Bandit” and wrote many iconic songs.

But he then seemingly disappeared from public view for many years. He is the first to admit the ‘80s were a lost decade because of cocaine and alcohol addiction.

Great American Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein certainly recognizes the talents of Williams, who will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame, along with Tony Bennett, Doris Day and Duke Ellington, Sept. 21 at the Palladium in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Day died at 97 in May and Ellington died at 75 in 1974. Dionne Warwick will provide entertainment at the sold-out Songbook Celebration gala, which supports the center’s artistic and educational programming.

“That’s the music that brought me into music,” Williams said of the Songbook era. “When I was in high school in the ‘50s, everyone was listening to rock ‘n’ roll, I was listening to ‘Only the Lonely’ and (Frank) Sinatra. My favorite song has always been ‘Someone to Watch Over Me.’ It’s wonderful full circle for me to share the company of these amazing songs and songwriters.”

Williams said he considers Feinstein a good friend and sang at his wedding to Terrence Flannery.

“It’s remarkable at this point of my life. I turn 79 on Sept. 19. I feel like a tired 34. It’s a remarkable thing to celebrate,” he said. “I get to shake hands with the man (Feinstein) that has kept those songs alive.”

Williams is thrilled to be inducted with such a special group.

“The great thing about what I do for a living is we never have to give up our fan card,” he said. “When I see Tony Bennett, I try to keep that, ‘Oh, my god, there’s Tony Bennett’ look off my face and look as casual as possible.

Williams said he was thrilled to add Bennett to the list of famous singers who have recorded his songs, such as Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley.

A lyricist for most of his career, Williams co-wrote The Carpenters songs “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays” with Roger Nichols.

Williams wrote most of “The Muppet Movie” songs with Kenneth Ascher, including “Rainbow Connection.”

“These are great composers that I worked with and I learned so much from,” Williams said.

Williams won an Oscar for writing “Evergreen,” which Barbra Streisand sang in the 1976 movie “A Star is Born.”

Williams said people frequently come up to him and say they were married to “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Evergreen.”

Paul Williams will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame Sept. 21 at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)

“Sometimes that is followed up by we’re not together anymore,” he said. “But it’s phenomenal to think you’ve been part of that magical moment in someone’s life.”

Williams is not singing as much as he used to. He did act in the second season of the Amazon Prime series “Goliath.” For the past 11 years, he has been president of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

“I’m not singing as much. Frankly, there are some challenges around my hearing that make it a little difficult to find a note once in a while,” he said. “I haven’t quit singing, but I find I’m really comfortable letting someone else sing the songs.”

Williams initially pursued an acting career but got few parts.

He unsuccessfully auditioned for “The Monkees” TV show, but there was a bright side.

“The failure of the acting career led me to songwriting,” he said.

Williams has been sober for 29 years and is a certified drug rehabilitation counselor through UCLA. “The two things I’m intensely passionate about are recovery and protecting musicians’ rights and making sure they are compensated for the brilliant work they do,” he said.

‘Annie’ team seeks ‘Sandy’ at Art of the Dog editorial@youarecurrent.com The Cat is looking for a dog.

Perry Accetturo, from The Cat, said theater representatives will be at the Art of the Dog from noon to 4 p.m. Sept. 21 in the Carmel Arts & Design District to let dog owners know about the auditions for Sandy, the dog, for “Annie.”

“We are looking for a dog that is wellmannered, is OK with the kids in the show, is OK with big crowds and being on stage,” Accetturo said. “We’re going to fill the stage with the cast and have them laugh and clap and see how the dog reacts to that and stage lights. The dog that meshes well with all those elements is the dog we are going to ultimately extend an offer to.”

The world premiere of the repertory production of musicals “Annie” and “Annie Warbucks” will open Nov. 14 and run through Dec. 1 at The Cat. A dog has already been cast for “Annie Warbucks.”

Accetturo said organizers are taking RSVPs for the auditions, which will be 9 to 11 a.m.

Woodstock vibe coming to CCPL

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Michael Beck and Tim Brickley are accomplished recording artists and touring musicians who have an affinity CONCERT for playing small venues.

That’s why they look forward to their Sept. 22 date at Carmel Clay Public Library, where they’ll perform a 50th anniversary tribute to Woodstock, the iconic 1969 music festival that featured dozens of the era’s top rock artists.

Beck, a percussionist, and Brickley, a guitarist, will play an acoustic array of songs that were performed during the three days of Woodstock, including selections

by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Who. “It’s just an hour that we play, but it’s just packed full of tunes everybody will know from that era and from Woodstock,” said Beck, a long-time musician who owns Anderson & Beck, a music-booking agency in Indianapolis. “Our niche is kind of that ‘60s and ‘70s vibe. We do a lot of songs by (artists) that were at Woodstock and that type of sound.

“We’re all over that ‘60s and ‘70s kind of

board, a lot of harmonies and vocals.”

Beck and Brickley, a music producer who owns Hit City Recording studio in Indianapolis, will perform at 2 p.m. in the Program Room at CCPL, 55 4th Ave. SE, Carmel. The free concert is part of an occasional music series offered by CCPL. Although Sept. 22 will mark their first time playing at CCPL, Beck and Brickley frequently perform in libraries throughout central Indiana.

“It’s a wonderful thing to be able to do, so I love those kinds of situations,” Beck said.

The TheCon ConisisOn! On!

With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather. I’ve got three WINEderlust reds for you this week and all of them can be found at Mass Ave Wine in downtown Indianapolis. I mention this because last month I had quite a few emails asking where (specifically) my suggestions could be found locally. Ask for Lisa.

First up, Juggernaut ‘Hillside’ Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a bold and structured wine from California.

Four hillside vineyards in Napa, specifically.

Vines that grow mountainside have to work harder to bear fruit. The result is grape yields that are less prolific and much more intensely flavored. Aged in French oak, this wine is luxuriously textured with lots of vanilla flavors. Oh, and the dark currants.

Big, sexy wine for a great price ($20).

Next is Southern Belle, a blend of equal parts Syrah and Monastrell. It’s made in the

south of Spain and aged in retired bourbon (Pappy Van Winkle) barrels. Although the bourbon nuances are more obvious on the nose, they are still evident on the palate.

Coupled with big fruit flavors, toffee and vanilla, it’s kind of brambly and kind of boozy at the same time. Yum. Also $20ish.

Last but certainly not least is a favorite varietal of mine: Barista Pinotage.

Pinotage from South Africa typically offers dark fruit flavors with smokiness and earthy notes. Barista doesn’t disappoint.

Charming and rustic, this one also boasts mad coffee flavors and aromas. Dare I say it? A smidge of nutmeg and leather. All for less than $15. Boom.

With an impending chill in the air, it’s time to consider some heavier wines for fall weather.

Visiting the House of Ananias Commentary by Don Knebel Just inside the ancient eastern gate of Damascus, Syria, are rooms said to have been the first-century home of a person who participated in the converTRAVEL sion of the Apostle Paul.

According to the Christian New Testament, Paul (then named Saul) was persecuting Christians until he heard the voice of Jesus on the road to Damascus, causing him to fall to the ground and leaving him temporarily blind.

His companions took him into Damascus, where Ananias, a Jewish follower of Jesus, baptized him in the Straight Street home of a man named Judas. With Paul’s belief in the Resurrection of Jesus established and his sight restored, he spent the rest of his life spreading Christianity around the Roman Empire. Legends surrounded Ananias, one identifying him as the first bishop of Damascus and another saying that he was stoned to death outside the city. In the Middle Ages, two subterranean rooms along Straight Street were claimed to belong to the house where the sainted Ananias had lived at the time of Paul’s baptism. Christians and Muslims alike revered the rooms.

Chapel in House of Ananias in Damascus, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

In 1820, the Franciscans acquired the rooms and turned one of them into a chapel.

Today, the House of Ananias, along the Damascus street still named Straight, is open to the public. Renovated in 1973, one room features a marble sculpture showing Ananias baptizing Paul. The other room, still used as a chapel, includes three scenes from the Biblical account of Paul’s visit to Damascus. The scene on the right shows Paul falling from his horse after encountering Jesus, the one in the middle shows his

Don’t commit capital offenses Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I have one mnemonic device to rule them all when it comes to remembering the eight rules of capitalization, GRAMMAR GUY and it comes from “Lord of the Rings.”

Whenever you want to recall what gets capitalized, just remember “Forgetful Bilbo Baggins took Pippin into Sam’s watermelon marmalade store.” It’s as simple as that.

F is for the first letter in a sentence. This is an easy one. Always capitalize the first letter in a sentence. Your phone automatically does it, as does your computer’s word processing software.

B stands for buildings and other manmade structures. This means we need to capitalize the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge.

The second B is for borders of countries, states, counties and regions. Always capitalize Jamaica, New Jersey, Jakarta and Jefferson County.

T is for titles. “Titles” relate to people (Dr. Quinn), formal job titles (when the job title immediately precedes the person’s name: Emperor Palpatine) and book and movie

FRIDAY Unlimited Gaming from 10pm-1am ($30.00/person)

titles (“The Hunt for Red October”).

P is for people. Always capitalize people’s names (Frodo, Sauron, Gandalf, etc.).

I is for I. Capitalize the word “I.” Again, many of our robot devices do this for us automatically.

S is for schools, including colleges and universities. Although I don’t think Gandalf ever taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I’m sure they’d let him substitute.

W is for bodies of water. The Red River separates Oklahoma from Texas.

M is for mountains. Be careful when climbing Mount Doom; you might drop your jewelry into it.

Finally, S is for streets. The president lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Although The Beatles sang about Penny Lane, their recording studio was on Abbey Road.

Forgetful Bilbo Baggins took Pippin into Sam’s watermelon marmalade store.
