State of the City delivered by Cooke

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com On Sept. 28, Deputy Mayor Steve Cooke filled in for Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear, who was ill, to deliver the annual State of the City event address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and community members at Harbour Trees Golf Club in Noblesville.

ROAD PROJECTS Pleasant Street: Cooke announced plans to widen Pleasant Street in downtown Noblesville from two lanes to three and five lanes.

“Today, after 20 years of study, community outreach and looking at options, we are here to announce that we are moving forward with plans to widen and extend Pleasant Street,” he said.

A budget for the project hasn’t been set but is projected at approximately $35 million. The city’s administration must still seek approval from the Noblesville Common Council.

“Our project’s scope is improving Pleasant Street from (Ind.) 37 all the way to Hague Road,” Cooke said. “We think we can do that while improving access and public safety and creating opportunities for development.”

Alleys, sidewalks and repairs: Cooke said by the end of this year, the city will have spent more than $900,000 on improving the central business district with street resurfacing and improvement projects on alleys and sidewalks downtown.

“With more than 560 miles of roadway, investing in our roads is critical to our residents, public safety and economic development,” Cooke said.

“That’s why Noblesville spent $2 million on its street rehabilitation projects this year alone.”

Roundabouts and connectivity: A five-point roundabout connecting Greenfield Avenue, 10th Street and Christian Avenue has been in the works for a while. Cook said the project will be bid out this winter, and construction will begin in spring 2017.

Cooke also said in August the city began work to connect Boden Road with Brooks School Road.

“We anticipate that more than 10,000 vehicles will travel this new north/south roadway every day,” he said. “It will open around the end of November, weather permitting, and the road will provide another entrance to destinations like Hamilton Town Center and Klipsch Music Center. It also provides retail development opportunities south of Campus Parkway.”

PARKS AND TRAILS Federal Hill Commons: As passersby see the quickly changing landscape of Federal Hill Commons, Cooke said the park will hold its grand opening in April 2017.

Finch Creek Park: “As excited as we are about the upcoming opening of Federal Hill Commons, we are already planning our next park, Finch Creek,” Cooke said. “We want this 200-acre park to offer amenities that are not available locally. So, concepts are still being defined. Next year, we anticipate starting construction on the first phase.”

Riverwalk: Cooke said construction of the final phase of the city-county joint project will begin this fall, which will complete a half-mile of trail along the east side of the White River downtown.

Midland Trace Trail: In the summer of 2017, the city will begin constructing the first phase of its portion of the Midland Trace Trail from Gray Road to Hazel Dell Road.

“Planning and prep work for future phases is already taking place, as well,” Cooke said. “One day, we envision this trail extending east, beyond (Ind.) 37.”

The trailhead will sit just off of Hazel Dell Road, and Cooke said it will be unlike any other on the Midland. It will have restrooms, a water fountain, parking, benches and a bike-repair and air station.

Levee Trail: During the summer, the city completed a portion of the Levee Trail along 196th Street to Morse Park and Beach. Cooke said the remainder of the trail will be built in two phases.

When completed, the trail will connect Morse Park and Beach north to 216th Street and south to downtown.

Little Chicago Road trail: “We are also acquiring land for a trail along Little Chicago Road,” Cooke said. “This will connect existing trails on (Ind.) 38 South Harbour’s Elderberry road entrance.

We are targeting next summer for construction.”

FOR YOUR KNEE PAIN Officials from the City of Noblesville, Indiana Dept. of Transportation and E&B Paving cut the ribbon on the Ind. 32/38 and Presley Drive roundabout Sept. 29. (Submitted photo)

Roundabout, extension now open

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Ind. 32/38 roundabout and Presley Drive extension connecting Ind. 38 and Pleasant Street east of Ind. 37 is now roads open.

Both the roundabout and extension were opened Oct. 4.

“I want to thank INDOT and its staff for a joint effort to fund and construct the project,” Noblesville Engineer John Beery stated at a Sept. 29 ribbon cutting. “This road project provides motorists with easier access and better mobility to the commercial land and businesses in the area.”

The city said the project completes a sec-

tion of the City of Noblesville’s master thoroughfare plan that has been on the books for more than a decade.

“The opening of Presley Drive’s extension provides economic development opportunities within Terry Lee Crossing and along the road,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear stated in a press release.”

Construction on the joint project between INDOT and the City of Noblesville to create a roundabout at Ind. 32/38 and Presley Drive began last year. The $1.6 million project also included installing a new, precast concrete box culvert to channel a tributary of Stony Creek under the highway.

Prevail starts Go Purple campaign

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Prevail of Hamilton County is hoping everyone sees purple this month.

“Our ultimate goal is non-profit to put ourselves out of business by preventing the acts of violence,” said Natasha Robinson, Prevail event and marketing coordinator.

Prevail, a nonprofit based in Noblesville, is asking businesses and community partners to wear purple, the color for Domestic Violence Month (October). The Go Purple campaign started three years ago.

Prevail, which is in its 30th anniversary year, has served more than 40,000 victims of violent crime and abuse in Hamilton County and surrounding areas.

“We want to encourage others to wear purple to help encourage victims as well,” Robinson said. “That way they know it’s not shameful if they’ve been a victim of domestic violence. The community is standing against it. That will help encourage them to come forward and seek services. It will engage the community to stand up against acts of violence as well.”

Prevail is selling Go Purple materials such as “Stop the Violence” ribbons, bracelets, lapel

pins and posters.

Prevail staffers are wearing purple Oct. 26, the national day to wear purple.

“Each year we’ve grown,” Robinson said.

“Our goal was to have 31 partners, at least one a day, and last year we had more than 31.

It would be great if we had multiple pictures a day of people going purple for the entire month. It doesn’t cost them anything.”

Conservation district hires urban agriculture staffers

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Announced Sept. 20, two new faces will grace the staff of the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Cara Culp and Andrew Fritz were hired county to fill the newly formed part-time Urban Agriculture positions of program outreach specialist and conservationist.

Fritz also is a former landscape architect and GIS analyst with an emphasis in natural resources and environmental management. In his new role, he will provide on-site Fritz technical assistance in home and community garden creation.

Beth Chalupa shares story of her rescue dog and aims to inspire others with book

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Charlie is often lovingly called Meatloaf by his owners.

The 9-year-old rescue cover story dog, a corgi mix, has lived with his owner, Beth Chalupa, and her husband, Frank, in their Noblesville home since February. During his time with Beth’s family, she was inspired to write a book about Charlie through his eyes, “Saving Meatloaf: Through the Eyes of a Shelter Puppy Named Charlie.”

“I started it in July 2015,” Chalupa said. “It took me a year to write it. The first part of the story, from when he was born to when he was originally adopted by my brother as a puppy, is made up. And from the time he’s 3 of 4 months old, that’s all true. He went from my brother to my mom, and then Frank and I officially got him in February.”

Chalupa said Charlie was initially moved around in the family because of personal issues with her brother. So Chalupa’s mom began taking care of Charlie.

“Mom had him for 5-1/2 years, but she’s 82 now,” Chalupa said.

Chalupa, originally from Indianapolis, and her husband, originally from Chicago, at that point had just completed building their home in Noblesville after moving back to the area from Chicago. When they moved into the home in February, Chalupa said her mother agreed to let them have Charlie.

“I’ve known Charlie since he was a puppy.

I just got attached to him,” Chalupa said. “It was just the connection he and I have had from day one. It was almost like I knew I

Why meatloaf?

“Charlie was very thin when (my brother) had him, but once my mom had him, you know, she was giving him little pieces of an ice cream cone or chicken, and he got kind of chunky,” Chalupa said. “So, when my husband (Frank) first met Charlie, he said, ‘That’s not a Charlie, that’s a meatloaf.’ So, we call him Meatloaf, but we also call him all kinds of names, like Christmas ham, Tootsie Roll, but Meatloaf is his main knickname.”

MEET BETH CHALUPA • Age: 56.

• Residence: Lived in Chicago before moving to Noblesville in February. Originally from Indianapolis.

• Family: Husband Frank, two furry “kids”: 12-year-old Pebbles, a Newfoundland, and 9-year-old Charlie, a corgi mix.

• Education: Graduated from Southport High School in Indianapolis. Received a degree in dental hygiene from the Indiana University School of Dentistry.

• Career: Retired dental hygienist. Frank works as a Chicago business owner and deals in commercial real estate.

would have him one day.”

The book is filled with anecdotal moments from Charlie’s life, from Charlie’s perspective, from where he started to where he ended up, Chalupa said.

In addition to Charlie, Chalupa and her husband own Pebbles, a 12-year-old, 117-pound Newfoundland. However, she said she didn’t own her first dog, a blue Chow Chow. until

she was 37.

“We never had or wanted real children,” Chalupa said. “I felt like dogs are what would enhance my life, and I really felt like I needed to get (the story) out there,” Chalupa said. “If somebody reads this, and it saves one dog from being lonely or abandoned, or just a life of despair, my goal will be accomplished.”

“I’m not a writer, but Charlie’s story just inspired me to write.”

The cat’s meow

the raging mod e r a t e Trump certain he won debate

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Will Durst An estimated 84,000,000 Americans tuned into the first presidential debate at New York’s Hofstra University last month, but Donald Trump did not seem to be among them. Mentally he had checked out, maybe to seek admission to Dr. Snuffleupagus’ clinic to score some surplus Claritin. A consensus of post debate polls revealed 54 percent of respondents thought Hillary Clinton won, 24 percent considered Trump the winner while the other 22 percent either had no opinion or looked at the questioner like they were crazy for even asking. The month of September witnessed a Trump surge that thrust the real estate mogul into a dead heat, so these numbers indicate half his supporters thought he lost. His own spin-doctors were ecstatic he managed to pronounce his own name correctly. Trump embarked on a post-debate oblivion tour to tell whoever would listen (Fox News) how everybody was telling him he had totally won the debate by a wide margin. Presumably these are the same “delusionals” who so often remark on his terrific temperament.

Not just a great temperament, the best temperament in the history of presidential politics. The major debate knock against Hillary Clinton is that she was too scripted, but that’s more Team Trump sniping, jealous that the former Secretary of State was able to string words together into actual sentences with subjects and predicates and points and stuff. The show’s not over. There are debates scheduled for Oct. 9 and Oct. 19.

Happy birthday, Indiana

Commentary by Terry Anker

Every 200 years or so, we ought to have a party. And since we’ve waited so long, let’s make it a big one. Many of us Hoosiers remember from our Indiana history class that our fine state officially joined these United States December 11, 1816, to be exact. Over these 20 decades that mark Indiana as a defined political geography, we have often taken note of the significant passing of time, the accomplishments of those who came before us and the gentle landscape with which we find ourselves presented.

During the celebrations commemorating our centennial year, we recognized our famous citizens and contributors. We built monuments to our contributions to the preservation of the Union. We created our first community foundation. We founded our system of state parks. We paraded while brass bands played.

Today, yet another century has come and gone. Since the land upon which we now reside has been home to countless humans

for 10,000 years, we might wonder if a couple of hundred years warrants much of a to-do. Yet given the fleeting days of short human lives, shouldn’t we pause occasionally to recognize our contributions, however fleeting?

Officially, the lead party planner is the Indiana Bicentennial Commission (in.gov/ ibc). These good people have put together all kinds of important facts, places to visit and things to do in honor of the anniversary.

Check out the website if you are inclined.

But if your busy calendar allows for only one birthday party for Indiana, consider joining me for a leg of the statewide Bicentennial Torchbearer Relay to be held at Conner Prairie in the late afternoon Oct. 13 – then stick around for the popular Headless Horseman tradition at the interactive history park!

Q U O TE O F THE W EEK “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

— H. L. Mencken

Our cat just celebrated her seventh birthday. Hooray! We’ve managed to keep her alive all these years despite moving humor houses, acquiring a dog and occasionally forgetting about her entirely over long weekends. The most amazing thing is, I might love Ginger more than my kids (interpret that sentence however you’d like; both ways are true). And that’s saying something because I am not a pet person and, according to my husband, Doo, I am cold and dead inside. Perhaps that’s why I love the cat. She totally appeals to my practical, stoic nature.

1. Felines have the lowest maintenance plans of any domesticated animal, especially the short-hair domestic options.

I’ve never taken Ginger for a walk in the single digit temps, swept up enough of her hair to form another cat, or cleaned her diarrhea out of the shag carpet. I cannot say the same for our lab.

2. Cleaning the litter box makes for the perfect punishment for the short people who live with us. Even with the multi-cat clumping and ammonia-absorbing super formula, scooping poop is stinky and degrading. Love it!

3. I dig her attitude. When I walk in from work, there’s no needy bull like I get from the dog (or my kids). If Ginger decides to grant me with her presence, it’s more like, “Hey, woman. You’re alive.

I’m going back to my room. Call me when dinner’s ready.” So cool.

4. O.K., I may not be entirely dead inside, because I do believe there is something magical about having a soft fuzzy creature purring with contentment on your lap on a cold winter’s night. Who needs the snuggie when you have a cat? Actually, Ginger’s favorite spot is atop our snuggie, making for a double dose of adorable warmth!

5. You never know what you’ll find in the fridge. Seriously, Doo thought he heard meowing in the kitchen, opened the door to the refrigerator, and there she was. Oops! No worries, Ginger hadn’t been cooling for more than a minute or so. Five tops.

Long live Ginger, and cats everywhere!

Peace out.

Home prices increase 2.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten According to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company, August was the busiest month in 2016 for central Indiana’s real estate real estate market so far.

Compared to this time last year, pended sales grew more than 15 percent in August, and eight of the 14 counties Tucker tracks recorded double-digit percentage growth in sales. This growth helped raise overall yearto-date sales, which are now 6.3 percent ahead of this time last year.

Hamilton County’s pended sales jumped more than 5 percent in August 2016 compared to August 2015. Prices have also increased by 2 percent over last year to an average of $284,539. Low inventory continues to challenge the market. Fortunately, Hamilton County experienced the least amount of declining inventory in August – down 9.7 percent, representing roughly 200 fewer homes available compared to this time last year.

• In Noblesville, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 2.1 percent to $235,871.

• Inventory moved at a faster pace in Noblesville in August 2016. Overall, homes

sold in 45 days – 14 fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options available to them. Last month, 291 homes were available for sale – 113 fewer homes compared to August 2015.

• Pended home sales stayed flat in Noblesville. Ninety-one homes pended in August 2016 and August 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 17 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 27 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 40 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and two were priced below $99,999.

Realtors definitely felt the momentum in August. Buyer demand is still strong, and we could see stronger sales if inventory returns to the level it was two or three years ago.

We expect 2016 to be our best year since the housing market began its recovery.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@youarecurrent.com.

IU Health pledges more AEDs news@currentnoblesville.com When Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter took the podium during a media announcement with IU Health philanthropy at IU Health North Hospital Sept. 28, he was moved by the donation of 15 Automatic External Defibrillators for his state troopers.

After a surprise announcement at the end of the press conference, Carter had reason to be even more grateful to IU Health and Jon Goble, president of the hospital’s north region.

“Why can’t we put an AED in every police car?” Goble said. “That’s the objective. The faster we equip your vehicles with AEDS and give you the tools, the more lives we will save.”

To make that a reality, Goble announced that IU Health would pledge an additional 50 AEDs by the end of 2016. Those 50 are in addi-

tion to the 15 already pledged and also those funded through proceeds from the Bolt for the Heart 5K, which will take place in Carmel on Thanksgiving Day. AEDs are predominately used on patients who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Among the successes of AED use in the state of Indiana is Danny Rhoad, a 13-year-old Westfield boy whose life was saved by an AED that was stationed at Grand Park in May. He was playing baseball when a ball struck him in the chest.

Coaches ran to a concession stand, which had an AED, and used the defibrillator to restore Rhoad’s heartbeat.

“Simply put, those people saved Danny’s life,” said Laura Rhoad, Danny’s mother.

“Without the AED Danny wouldn’t be here.

We’re grateful to be here, to be part of this celebration.”

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Through the past 53 years, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has seen haunted houses ranging from family fun pirate ships to vampires, carnivals, a wicked workshop and more.

The haunted houses change each year.

This year, the museum will be transformed into a Cursed Castle to provide two different events for families.

“We offer two unique experiences for families for Halloween. The first is Lights-On Hours, and those are for the trick-or-treaters, for kids to go through with parents and get a goodie bag,” said Bis Feldman, head witch and co-chair of this year’s haunted house. “Our haunters have no makeup and are very friendly. The second is Frightening Hours. That is more of a typical haunted house experience. Haunters don’t touch anybody that goes through. It’s more of a jump-out, creepy kind of scare situation for those that enjoy that type of thing on Halloween.”

Feldman said youth in the Frightening Hours experience range more toward junior high ages, but there have been some

The Cursed Castle will open Oct. 8. (Submitted photo)

younger children wanting to participate in the past. There is no age minimum.

Tickets are $8 per person, and children under 2 years old are free. Beginning Oct. 8, Lights-On will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays and Tuesdays. Frightening Hours will be from 3:30 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Feldman is a co-chair with Mary Beth Reffett. Co-chairs serve a one-year term.

“All the money from the haunted house goes directly back to the children’s museum for free nights and programs for the local neighborhood and exhibits in the museum,” Feldman said.

Seasons’ change Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley “O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all.”

This is Robert Frost’s opening of a poem about the peace and pleasure of October.

He writes about how we are beguiled. Defined, this can mean “to cause time to pass pleasantly.”

And for anyone traveling to a football game there is no secret that the season has changed. The lush wet summer green leaves have turned brown. The harvesting machines bring in corn and beans and farmers are cutting hay. The mornings and evenings are cool while the days are mild and warm. The trees are beautiful, making the drive to the game more enjoyable. Some families are even stopping at roadside stands to buy apples, cider and pumpkins on their way home from the game. There is a smell of burning leaves in the air.

If we give an exam to tailgaters about why they love the fall, they will check the box for “all of the above.”

Keeping with the season, here is a great seasonal recipe to give you pleasure.

Apple crisp Ingredients: 8 to 10 apples, 2 cups flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1 1/4 cups rolled oats, 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 1/4 cups butter Preparation: In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, butter, oatmeal, 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.

Mix everything together using your hands until it’s turned into small pebble-sized clumps of dough. Peel and core the apples, slicing them

into thin strips. Once you have enough to fill a 9 x 13 glass pan to just under the rim, mix the apples with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar. After you’ve mixed the apples and brown sugar together, spread the flour mixture over the top, making sure to smooth it evenly across the entire pan. Bake in a 350 oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the crisp mixture turns a nice golden brown and the apples have lost their crispness but still have some body. Refrigerate overnight. Then cut into manageable size pieces. Place these into a plastic sealable 9 x 13 container (the kind that can be burped).

This crisp is delicious on its own, served with whipped cream, or if you want to have some dry ice in your cooler, with ice cream.

Penne puttanesca Submitted recipe and photo courtesy of Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in Carmel This is a great option for vegetarians at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant. It does have anchovies but can be left out if you want.

There are various accounts of the origin, but the popular theory is that in the 1950s a chef was serving his customers and barely had any ingredients left in the pantry. He threw together what he had — some tomatoes, olives, and capers — and invented a pasta meant for a peasant, because it’s made with leftover ingredients. Hence, the colorful name.

Notes: I know some people don’t like anchovies but they should melt away and you won’t really know they’re there except they add a nice salty, seaside flavor to this dish.

We recommend pitted kalamata for this dish.

Serves: 1 to 2 people Ingredients: • 1 cup whole peeled tomatoes • 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • Handful of pitted kalamata olives • 1 teaspoon of capers • 2 pieces of anchovy • 1 cup of cooked penne pasta Directions: Put on a medium pot of water to boil.

Drain the juice from the tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Put on a latex glove and squeeze the whole peeled tomatoes until they are small bits but still somewhat chunky.

Grab a medium-sized skillet and heat it to medium heat. Pour olive oil in the pan and let it warm up without burning or bubbling up.

Add garlic (you can add more or less based on preference) but make sure it doesn’t brown or burn. Burned garlic will ruin the dish and you’ll need to start over. Use a low heat and be sure to stir the garlic so it doesn’t

stick. The finer you chop the garlic the more it’s likely to burn, but finely chopped garlic also helps spread the flavor throughout the dish, so just keep an eye on that.

You’ll also want to add some anchovy. This should melt into the olive oil instead of being one big piece. You can break it up and stir it with your cooking fork or chop it ahead of time. Some people like using anchovy paste but we think whole anchovies are better.

Make sure you don’t add too much olive oil. You’ll be able to tell when you add your tomatoes.

Once the garlic is cooked but not brown, add the tomatoes. You’ll hear them sizzle so make sure the heat isn’t too high.

Your goal is to have the olive oil and tomatoes to mix together seamlessly. Heat and stirring should accomplish that.

Once the sauce is almost done — you can tell the tomatoes are warm and soft without being mushy — you can add your capers, oregano and olives. You want the olives slightly cooked so they are warm and soft, but they don’t take as long as the rest so you add them at the end.

Add the fresh cooked pasta to the sauce while it’s still hot and it will absorb some of the sauce before you scoop it into a bowl.

Blueprint for Improvement: Transitional family room Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a focal point in their living room that results in a great first impression for their home.

1. The existing cabinets were modified to house all of their existing AV equipment. The original cabinets were painted a rich gray color and the bottom cabinets now have a copper-colored laser-cut door insert.

2. The original mantel was replaced with two handcrafted rustic Colorado lodgepole pine mantels that help draw the eye upward and add an elegant touch of nature.

3. The design above the mantel mimics the design in the copper door fronts. This piece creates a much more dramatic fireplace wall for the center of the home, and is more appropriately proportioned for the large wall.

4. Stacked stone was used to create the base of the fireplace and the hearth. This stone gave the homeowners a great color palate to draw from for the rest of their living room space.

5. New floors were installed throughout the living room and first floor. Wide plank, hand-scraped hardwood floors completed the wholistic aesthetics of the space.

Before Background Info: This 1990’s Carmel home in the Brookfield neighborhood was lacking some character. The homeowners were looking for help in reflecting their personal style within their home.

Before problems: The fireplace wall in this home was primarily a large expanse of drywall. The homeowners did not like that their fireplace was lost on a very large wall in their living room.
