Groups partner to improve White River experience in Hamilton, Marion counties

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Many central Indiana residents rarely think about it. Others have been told to avoid it.

But now, several organizaRECREATION tions are working together to make the White River a gem that attracts people to live, work and play near its banks.

Hamilton County Tourism is partnering with the City of Indianapolis and other organizations to develop the White River Vision Plan, a comprehensive look at the 58 miles of the river in Hamilton and Marion counties. The initiative was launched in May and has included dozens of meetings with stakeholders and opportunities for the public to provide input.

“We want everybody in central Indiana, when asked, to say, ‘I know about the White River,’” said Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Carmel-based Hamilton County Tourism.

“Through awareness we can create positive change. It’s really important. This is not going to end in April when the final report is brought out for public input.”

The next public meeting is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at Founders Park, 11675 Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel. Attendees will have the opportunity to offer input on the plan designs, express concerns and ask questions.

Re-engage with the river While many things can be done to improve the White River, much progress has been made in previous decades.

A century ago, the river experienced “pig jams” when meat producers threw hog carcasses in the river after removing the parts they wanted, according to Cliff Chapman, executive director of the Central Indiana Land Trust, which works to preserve land along the river and elsewhere.

“You could walk across the river on the bloated carcasses of pigs,” Chapman said. “It ain’t that bad anymore.”

The river may no longer be full of pigs, but other hazards have caused ecological devastation and contributed to a negative reputation. Most notably, in 1999 a chemical

spill near Anderson led to a fish kill, and other dangers — such as e-coli — have at times led officials to urge people not to make full body contact with the water.

Even now, in Indianapolis, sewage overflows into the river when it rains more than a quarter inch. The $2 billion DigIndy project is creating a 28-mile tunnel system deep underground to virtually eliminate the problem.

In Hamilton County, where most development occurred more recently than Indianapolis, modern designs have kept the problem to a minimum.

But for years now in both counties, the White River has been deemed a safe place to enjoy outdoor recreation.

“One of our group’s goals is to re-engage people with the river,” said Lance Lantz, a member of the White River Alliance board of directors. “It seems like it’s almost a hidden treasure. Those who know it’s there enjoy it, but most of us drive (over it) across the bridges and don’t think twice.”

‘Amazing resource’ In addition to the DigIndy project, other major projects are in the works along the White River, such as the transformation of the former General Motors stamping plant in downtown Indianapolis to a $550 million mixed-use project. Conner Prairie, which borders 3 miles of the river, is in the process of completing a master plan that includes showcasing the water to provide education about Indiana history.

Myers said it seemed like a good time to launch the White River Vision Plan with so many organizations already focusing on improving the river. The plan doesn’t seek to replace the work that’s been done by other groups; rather, it aims to unite organizations that already are working toward the same goals.

“We see ourselves as the convener on the project,” Myers said of HCT. “We’re sort of shepherding the collective.”

Other partners include the White River Alliance, Friends of the White River, Reconnecting Our Waterways and more. Massachusetts-based Agency Landscape + Planning is consulting on the project, which costs $1.5 million and is funded by several municipalities, Legacy Fund and a grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.

The partners have different focus areas, but all are committed to helping the White River reach its full potential.

“We have this amazing resource going right through our community,” said Claire Lane, an urban conservationist with the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, a project partner. “It’s really a shame to not utilize it and make it a big part of peoples’ lives and respect that this is an awesome asset we have.”

A balanced approach Not only does the White River Vision Plan aim to clean up the river, but it is exploring ways to increase access and attract development.

“We’re always looking for more family activities to get the average person to realize the fun there is to be had on this great recreational opportunity,” Lantz said.

At the same time, the group is cognizant of the fact that many private landowners don’t want to see big changes.

Ed Shaugnessy, a Carmel resident who enjoys fishing and kayaking also is hoping the vision doesn’t lead to drastic changes.

“I hope they go with caution,” he said. “I don’t want to see a lot of restaurants and bars and businesses spring up on what’s now quiet and peaceful.”

Eagle Scout gives back to NWMS

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Drew Monnin had a personal interest in devoting his Eagle Scout project to building a finish line for PHILANTHROPY the Noblesville West Middle School cross country course.

Monnin competed two seasons for the Noblesville West team.

“It’s just a phenomenal team and awesome coaches,” said Monnin, a Noblesville resident who competed as a Hamilton Heights cross country runner this fall. “I felt like I needed to give something back.”

Monnin, who said he developed the idea for the project a year ago, completed his project for a finish line and finish chute in time for the final home meet for NWMS Sept. 24.

Monnin was assisted by his fellow Troop 183 members and Cubs Scouts Pack 211 from Hinkle Creek Elementary. In addition, current and former NWMS cross country runners helped.

“I received a lot of donations from the community on my website,” Monnin said.

“All the cross country parents helped with their donations and the (NWMS) PTO contrib-

uted $100 toward my project.”

The finish line includes permanent, 16foot poles and a banner. The chute includes posts and chains.

“There was 90 hours of planning, and combined we had 240 volunteer hours,” Monnin said.

His budget for the project was $1,500 for materials and supplies.

Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is a goal Monnin said he has worked on since joining Cub Scouts in first grade.

A BREAKDOWN OF SPENDING

A guide to the upcoming referendum vote for Noblesville Schools

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Nov. 6 midterm elections will decide many important races, but perhaps one of the toughest decisions facing Noblesville voters is whether Noblesville COVER STORY Schools should receive $50 million over eight years to pay for increased teacher salaries and safety enhancements across its 10 schools.

Noblesville Schools has had no problem passing referenda in the past, and while the district and its political action committee, MillerYes, are focused on educating the public of the facts, some parents and taxpayers in the school district are skeptical of the need for an additional $6.25 million annually.

Julia Kozicki, who serves on the Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees, is the chair of MillerYes. She has children who are students in the district and said passing the referendum is critical to keeping Noblesville Schools excellent.

Kozicki “I think it’s important for people to understand that when the (Indiana) General Assembly created referenda as a method of funding schools, Noblesville Schools was never fully funded at the level we were prior to the implementation of the tax caps,” Kozicki said. “The (2016) referendum was really just to maintain the level of service that Noblesville has had for decades. This is truly the first time we’ve really asked for additional, and it’s because our community has additional needs following (the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School on) May 25, and frankly, our teachers had additional needs before May 25 that we wanted to address.”

George Hodgson, a Noblesville resident since 1982, and whose three children attended Noblesville Schools, said he has long supported the district but doesn’t believe the it has a clear enough plan for implementation of new safety initiatives and does not support the passing of the referendum.

“I think it’s a flawed plan, and I’m not convinced it is much of a plan,” Hodgson said. “It’s more of a lot of things thrown on the wall and saying how much money we need for those things, and I’m worried that’s what we’re going to get if this thing passes.”

Hodgson also said he believes many of the physical safety changes in the school buildings are reactive and that a more serious look at metal detectors would better serve as a deterrent than gun-detecting dogs or random metaldetector wand screenings or performed where reasonable suspicion exists.

What will the question look like on the ballot?

The question will read as follows: “For the eight (8) calendar years immediately following

the holding of the referendum, shall Noblesville Schools impose a property tax rate that does not exceed thirty seven cents ($0.37) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation, and that is in addition to all other property taxes imposed by the school corporation for the purpose of funding enhanced safety and security measures in all buildings, as well as to maintain academic and educationally related programs?”

Voting yes would approve the tax increase.

What does approval mean for the existing referendum?

In 2016, Noblesville voters passed a referendum for education programming and staffing that district officials have long said was to keep the “status quo” as it and other districts in affluent areas of Indiana continued to see a decrease in state funding.

According to Noblesville Schools, approximately $46.5 million has been cut from its funding since 2009.

If the referendum passes, it would replace the 2016 referendum. Taxpayers would not pay for both. However, the rate of the 2016 referendum is approximately half of the proposed referendum and will mean a tax increase for Noblesville residents.

The graph shows the teacher salary differences between Hamilton County’s four major school districts — Carmel Clay Schools, Hamilton Southeastern Schools, Noblesville Schools and Westfield Washington Schools.

How much would a household pay?

The existing referendum rate is 18.9 cents per every $100 of a home’s net assessed value, after tax deductions are taken into account. The referendum on the Nov. 6 ballot would increase the rate to 37 cents per every $100 dollars of a home’s net assessed value, after tax deductions are taken into account. For example, a home with a gross assessed value of $100,000 would pay approximately $120 each year.

How would the money be spent?

The referendum will provide Noblesville Schools approximately $6.25 million annually for eight years.

District officials have said 53 percent of the funding would be spent on mental health and safety enhancements, and 47 percent would be spent on teaching staff and salaries.

Here’s a breakdown:

Mental health staff and initiatives ($1.57 million annually) • Screenings for students for suicide, anger, trauma, etc.

• 1 district mental health coordinator • 10 social workers • Staff for an alternative education program, including one director, one social worker, two teachers and one school resource officer • 2 deans for middle schools • 3 teachers for English language learners • 2 additional elementary school counselors • A mentoring program Safety staff and equipment ($1.75 million annually) • 8 additional school resource officers to cover every school (50 percent funded by Noblesville Schools, 50 percent funded by the City of Noblesville) • Funding for additional/overtime school resource officer staffing to cover security for approximately 10,000 evening/weekend/large events each year • 1 full-time district safety director • 1 AV/camera technician to manage security camera surveillance • An enhanced communication technology system • Specially trained gun-detection dogs for each school • Enhanced video systems on 100-plus buses • Increased bus security and bus driver professional development for 100-plus buses and drivers • Door-barricading products for 1,500 classrooms and offices • Facility lockdown tools for 10 schools • Additional security camera equipment for 10 schools Retaining and recruiting teachers and staff ($2.93 million annually) • Additional teaching staff for middle and high schools • Salaries for teachers that are competitive with area school districts in an effort to recruit and retain teaching staff “It’s a very expensive plan, and if your business, my business, or any businesses had a plan that was this poorly thought through, no one would fund it,” Hodgson said. “So, I’m worried about the fact that it’s our taxes going up.

We’re really being penalized to pay for something that, in all appearances, is a flawed plan and probably way too expensive for what this could be done for.”

Continued on Page 11

October 23, 2018

COMMUNITY Continued from Page 10 The referendum amount would be in addition to the home’s regular property taxes, and every property owner in the Noblesville Schools district would pay, which is where much of the criticism stems from because not all those living in the district have children who attend its schools. However, Kozicki said even for households where Noblesville Schools students aren’t present, the referendum is an important investment.

“I am about to become an empty nester.

My youngest child is a senior in high school, and it’s so imperative that we continue to support our future generations,” Kozicki said. “Our children are the people that will be leading our country in 25 to 30 years, so we want to be sure that we have bestprepared them so they are ready to lead the future. Additionally, continuing to support our schools ensures that we maintain high property values. Eventually, we’ll all sell the homes we live in, and we’d like to have high property values when we do that.”

A tax-impact calculator is available at milleryes.org/taximpact2.html.

How do teacher salaries play a part?

Safety changes will consume a slight majority of referendum dollars, but 47 percent will address teacher salaries, attraction and retention.

A state and national teacher shortage is affecting Noblesville Schools and school districts in the area. During the past couple of years, those districts have increased teacher pay, but Noblesville has not kept up.

This is one part of the referendum Hodgson said he supports but is skeptical that the additional funds would fix the problem.

“I support, and have supported for years, having parity with teachers’ pay with, at least, the rest of this county,” Hodgson said. “That is a clearly big issue, but we’ve had a couple of other referenda since the law changed on property taxes, and in both cases, (the district) has said teacher pay is one of the items that would be fixed. It’s clearly not fixed.”

District officials have said, in some cases, teachers have cited salary as a reason for leaving. One example from the district shows a teacher with 11 years of experience making above $20,000 more each year at a neighboring district.

“Even before May 25, we were already recognizing the impact that increased referenda in our surrounding districts were having on teacher pay, and we were beginning the process as a district how we were going to address the discrepancy in teacher pay, particularly in the mid-range years,”

Current in Noblesville

Kozicki said.

In addition, as class sizes continue to grow, Noblesville Schools is looking to add more teachers in the middle and high schools with referendum dollars. Approximately 23 new positions would be added.

Money to pay for extra mental health and safety staffing is not grouped into the 47 percent allotment, but new hires in those areas would be paid with referendum dollars.

However, Hodgson said he is unsure if it’s the job of the school district to handle mental health issues.

“I would also like to see some data on how successful having social workers and mental health (professionals) in the schools is,” Hodgson said. “To me, our schools should be focused on teaching our kids and keeping them safe. So, when we start replicating a mental health organization in our schools, we’re going a place that is very expensive and not where we should be. If they go down this route and sell this to the public, what happens when something slips through the cracks?”

Kozicki disagreed, saying students need the additional support in today’s world.

“When you look at everything and how we can address needs for our schools, it just became clear that we needed to have these referendum dollars available to our schools so that we can appropriately compensate our teachers, so we can provide the security that our students need, and so that we can provide the mental health support that our students need,” Kozicki said.

“Being a kid today is harder than it was, and that seems like a cop out, but it truly is. The rise of social media has just created a different world for our children, and it’s important that we help our children develop the skills necessary to live in this new environment.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Framed thoughts

We are survivors

Commentary by Terry Anker Each week, the origination of this very column comes from a template – not of the ideological sort but rather of the functional. It arranges concepts into a consistent and comfortably editable form. Its headers remind of the hoped date of publication and the exact number of words. It also urges the suggestion of a title, while the ultimate choices rests with the crack editorial staff.

It is all format over function. It does not write this column or even frame it with the germ of an idea. It sits, like a ruined city, with an outline of what might be but little image of what should.

Would it be better to start each anew? Could an absence of any expectation lead to more creative and compelling thinking? Like openmic poetry, it could meander only to the contentment of the deliverer, safe in the notion that the platform was without constraint. But then, isn’t there beauty in brevity? Don’t we best communicate within the outline of some accepted form? A template brings order and ensures needed structure.

Still, if the template is too thorough, does it become more an administrative form desperately seeking modest and redundant information? Does its very limited scope pre-determine that the thinking produced by it will be equally banal and correspondingly uninspired?

Is an editorial outline too simple as a metaphor for our lives? Perhaps. Yet, don’t we each begin with a simple template, staring blankly, urging us to fill with action? We are born with any number of gifts and debilitations. From there, is it we that control the framing or it that controls us? Too much constrains and too little fails to liberate. Can we find our voice within the confines of a reasoned structure?

Finally caught a break Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m on the brink of something wonderful, friends. Tomorrow starts a week-long fall break for the school district HUMOR where I teach, and neither my kids’ break nor my husband’s vacation days overlap — which means I have five days of doing whatever I want without the needs of my family sucking me dry, at least from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s a Christmas miracle come early.

So, I’m sitting here blissfully planning how I shall spend each little nine-hour slice of heaven. Netflix and Hulu will fill a good portion, as I am behind on a few of my favorites. I’ve also got a basement full of the demonically possessed to empty as I prep for the best suburban Halloween graveyard within a 5-mile radius (I am, of course, excluding the Trumpkin-Pencekin house down the road, with which I simply cannot compete. Bravo to you, whoever you are.

Your display is truly terrifying!). I had “Grade Papers” on my list for a hot minute, but let’s be honest. A box of Kleenex and “This is Us” are calling. Quizzes can wait.

What I’m most looking forward to is downtime. The not rushing around after work to drop a kid at practice, swing by Meijer for yet another gallon of milk, and then throw together a Kraft box dinner that no one will eat, anyway. I don’t have to get out of bed, I don’t have to shower, I don’t even have to put on clothes. OK, maybe I need the clothes, but who says they must be clean?

Not this gal! Nope, I can just slow down and enjoy something wonderful. A break.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.”

-John F. Kennedy

Editor, I hope everyone takes the time to learn the facts like we did, because if you do your homework, you know U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks cares about people like us, people with pre-existing conditions. We are like millions of Americans who rely on employerbased health care coverage to manage our medical needs.

Our families can’t afford to pay out-ofpocket for health insurance, so it is imperative for us to find coverage so we can manage our breast cancer history that will be part of who we are for the rest of our lives.

Susan Brooks supports the Pre-Existing Conditions Protection Act, which is a commitment to protect people living with preexisting conditions. This reform increases access to quality, affordable care and would protect us from unfair, higher premium costs simply due to our history.

Additionally, Susan Brooks is one of only 33 House leaders to ensure coverage for people like us if the Affordable Care Act is repealed.

Not only does Susan Brooks support our coverage to care, but she has taken action to prioritize continued coverage as our representative in Congress.

A GetGo convenience store in Carmel has been designated as a Community MeetUp Spot for customers who sell OFFERUP items on the OfferUp mobile app.

The GetGo, 11545 N. Illinois St., is next to the Market District parking lot. Both are owned by Giant Eagle.

The MeetUp Spot gives customers a secure location to complete transactions in an area that is monitored, well-lit and surveilled. Community MeetUp Spots will be designated by OfferUp signs and transactions will be welcome during the in-store cafe’s hours of operation. OfferUp is a fastgrowing mobile marketplace.

“At GetGo, we’re dedicated to adding value to the communities we serve, and we felt we had a unique opportunity to bring that commitment to life by partnering with OfferUp to establish Community MeetUp Spots in select GetGo locations,” said Jannah Jablonowski, a spokesperson for Giant Eagle. “Through this partnership, our hope is to provide secure spaces for customers and members of our communities to comfortably and conveniently complete their OfferUp transactions.”

In addition to the partnership with Giant Eagle, OfferUp connects with more than 1,400 police departments nationally to create their version of an OfferUp Community MeetUp Spot to help buyers and sellers conduct to in-person transactions.

Jablonowski said the Carmel Police Dept. also is listed as a designated SafeTradeSpot where OfferUp users can choose to meet to complete their transactions in a secure environment.

CPD Lt. Joe Bickel said two parking spaces were designated as a safety exchange zone in 2017. The spaces are directly in front of the Carmel Police Dept. at 3 Civic Square.

“The spaces provide ample signage, good lighting and 24/7 video surveillance,” Bickel said. “If citizens are wanting a safe area to conduct social media or local classified face-to-face transactions they are welcome to utilize these areas at any given time. If they come during working hours (Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and were concerned about a VIN or serial number, we can verify the item is not stolen or missing.”

Reducing debt should be a priority — We say we don’t want debt, but we act a different way. Americans’ number-one financial goal for 2018 seems a laudable one -- reducing the amount of debt they owe, with more than half of the people in a recent representative survey, 53 percent, describing that as their top priority. The same survey by Northwestern Mutual, however, shows that

Americans are in fact digging themselves further into debt. The survey notes that while 33 percent of Americans owe between $5,001 and $25,000, only 17 percent of us have saved a similar amount outside of our retirement accounts.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged.

How to cope with cancer Commentary by Jill Dodson A new cancer diagnosis can change your life and the lives of those around. Here are some tips for coping with cancer.

Take control DIAGNOSIS It’s common to feel overwhelmed with a new cancer diagnosis, but patients often feel better once they feel more in control of the situation and have a treatment plan in place.

Here’s what you can do to help patients and loved ones feel in control: • Gather information about the diagnosis from your care team and reliable websites.

• Communicate clearly with your medical team. Write questions down in advance of your appointments, bring someone with you and seek a second opinion if necessary.

• Don’t be afraid to ask family and friends for help and support.

• Treat yourself with kindness as you go through this journey.

• Be aware of benefits offered through your employer. Talk to your human resources department about disability and leave benefits and check if you

have critical illness or accident insurance. Encourage those who will be caring for you to do the same.

• Organize your medical bills. The financial impact of a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming.

• Find a healthy outlet for your stress.

Build a support system Anxiety and depression are not uncommon when dealing with cancer. That is why a solid support system is critical. But where can you find support? Start with your medical provider and be open about how you are feeling and coping. This helps your medical provider connect you to resources, such as social workers, nurse navigators and support groups.

Finally, don’t overlook family and friends who offer to help. Remember, people like to feel needed. Whether it’s an offer to cook a meal or run an errand, learn to graciously accept support.

Jill Dodson is an oncology social worker at IU Health North Hospital.

Weight training vs. aerobic exercise — For overall weight loss, yet another study is proving the benefits of weight training.

Participants were monitored for 18 months through a weight-loss program. Those who dieted and used weight machines lost weight but retained the most muscle mass.

Those who dieted and did only aerobic exercise lost the most muscle mass. Cardio exercise is important for heart health, but weight training is crucial to retaining muscle.

Humperdinck to make Palladium debut

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Born Arnold George Dorsey, he took a new name, courtesy of a manager, that no one ever forgets.

CONCERT Legendary English pop singer Engelbert Humperdinck will make his first appearance at the Palladium at 8 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The tour features songs from his 2017 album, “The Man I Want To Be,” which also is the title of one of the songs.

“I think that’s one of the best albums I’ve done in a while because it has a lot of new songs on it,” Humperdinck said. “It’s not doing somebody else’s material and making it your own. It was a different approach for me this time.”

The album includes a slower version of Bruno Mars’ “Just The Way You Are.” Humperdinck’s new Christmas album, “Warmest Christmas Wishes,” was released this month.

“At the end of the year, I should be releasing a PBS special which I did in Hawaii (this fall),” Humperdinck said.

His concert will include his major hits.

“I can’t do a concert without doing the standards that made it possible for me to be here in the first place,” he said. “It’s a show that has been tried and tested around the world.”

At 82, Humperdinck isn’t slowing down.

“People keep saying to me that you’ve been in the business, are you going to put your feet up or hang your hat up?” Humperdinck said. “I say I don’t even know what that means. I just want to continue until I can’t sing anymore. But I can sing. My voice is as strong as it was when I first started.

It hasn’t lost any of its value. When you get older your vibrato gets a little slower, but mine hasn’t. It’s become a very contemporary voice, which I really love.”

Humperdinck performs 80 to 90 concerts per year.

“Each time I walk on stage it’s fabulous,” Humperdinck said. “I don’t think there is a feeling better than being appreciated by the people sitting there watching you perform.”

Humperdinck said he works hard to

NEMS to stage ‘Mary Poppins Jr.’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Noblesville East Middle School’s drama department will present its fall musical, “Mary Poppins Jr.,” Nov. 2-4.

Show times are 7 p.m. Nov. 2 and 3 and 2 p.m. Nov. 4 on the Ivy Tech Community College stage, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Approximately 70 NEMS students will perform, and the musical is directed and choreographed by Jordan Rattenbury, along with costume director Claire Hanrahan, technical director Rick Towle and hair-andmakeup director Jennifer Dunham.

Members of the cast include Sarah Rolinson as Mary Poppins, Maddux Morrison as Bert, Addison McMillan as Jane Banks, Nick Adams as Michael Banks, Aidan Johnston as George Banks and Anna Neal as Winifred Banks.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students and will be sold each day during NEMS lunch periods the week of the show and online to the public after 9 a.m. Oct. 26 at ticketleap.com.

stay fit. He recently dropped 32 pounds.

“I’m moving better,” he said.

Humperdinck said his fans span a large age range, which has expanded his audience.

“If you have one age group, they disappear,” he said. “But with my kind of audience, it’s three or four generations, and it’s just unbelievable.”

Humperdinck made his splash in 1967 with his version of “Release Me.” “That one song gave me my career,” he said. “It doesn’t happen very often in today’s world.”

The song was No. 1 for six weeks in March and April 1967 in the United Kingdom, keeping The Beatles’ “Penny Lane” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” from reaching the top spot.

“It stopped the Beatles from having their 13th No. 1,” Humperdinck said. “This unknown person came along and stopped the almighty Beatles. It’s been a great stepping stone in my life. It was No. 1

around the world and gave me a global career immediately. My style stands out from all the others and it was unusual for a balladeer to come into the charts and remain there and be fortunate to have about $150 million in album sales around the world.”

Some of Humperdinck’s other major hits include “The Last Waltz” and “After the Lovin.’”

His manager Gordon Mills took the name Englebert Humperdinck from a German 19th century opera composer.

“Mills developed a stable of singers, including Tom Jones and Gilbert O’Sullivan and myself. Between the three of us, he had a pretty good British team of horses,” Humperdinck said. “The only thing I would have liked to have had was a middle initial because it did belong to the man who wrote ‘Hansel and Gretel’ (opera). I would have liked to have the variation. I am a doctor of music. I should put a doctor in front of it.”

Noblesville — The Fourth Friday Young Songwriters Series is set from 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 26 at Logan Street Sanctuary, 1274 Logan St. Whitestown — Howl at the Moontown is set from 4 to 9 p.m. Oct. 24 at Moontown Brewing Company, 345 S.

Art on Main features partners

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Art on Main Gallery & Gifts celebrated its 1-year anniversary in mid-September, so it only seems fitting that the DISPLAY gallery’s five partners feature their own artwork for the month of October.

“We are celebrating that,” said Kim Greene, one of the partners of the Carmel gallery, 111 Main St. “The Christkindlmarkt helped a lot during the holidays.”

The partners have various talents.

Greene, Carmel, and Debbie Slack, Carmel, specialize in oil paintings. Marie Reamer, Carmel, does fine art photography. Nancy Keating, Carmel, is a mosaic artist. And Randall Scott Harden, Noblesville, is an impressionist oil painter.

Harden joined as a partner in September.

“We have some new artists we’re excited about,” Greene said.

New artists include Wesley Dallas Merritt, Westfield; Wendy Franklin, Carmel; Yuri Okamoto, Indianapolis; Amy Greely, Nashville; and B. Skinner, Battle Ground.

There are 18 artists in the gallery.

“We have a wait list, but we are always looking for good local talent,” Greene said.

Reamer said the foot traffic is best later in the week and weekends. She said the gallery walks and other events in the Arts & Design District help bring in business.

“We’ve provided space for some new, talented artists and we made it through the year. That’s a good accomplishment,” Reamer said. “We did really well. We had a great first year.”

Greene said she is proud that the gallery has kept the quality high and how the partners have meshed.

“We all have different backgrounds and experiences,” Greene said.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday.

Col. Michael Colburn leads the U.S. Marine Band at the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009.

Butler bands director to guest conduct U.S. Marine Band

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Butler University Director of Bands Col. Michael Colburn will return to his roots.

Colburn served with the EVENT U.S. Marine Band, dubbed “The President’s Own,” for 27 years, including the last 10 as director.

“I’m looking forward to working with the group again,” Colburn said. “I’ve had a couple of chances to guest conduct them since I retired in 2014, but those opportunities don’t come very often, so this is really special. The chance to do that in our new home of Indianapolis is going to be a lot of fun.”

The U.S. Marine Band, which was formed in 1798, will perform a concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Tickets were free and all were quickly distributed.

“I’ve got a group of 40 or so students coming to the concert,” Colburn said.

Colburn played the euphonium for nine years and then was the assistant director for eight years.

“The current director, Jason Fettig, served as my assistant during my entire time as director, so we worked very closely together,” Colburn said. “So, I’ve been proud to see what he’s accomplished. Plus, I still know many of the players and ensemble as well. We stay in touch with one another.

I’ve been watching what the band has been doing since retirement with great interest and enthusiasm.”

Colburn will conduct the band for a rendition of composer John Williams’ “The Adventures of Han” from the movie, “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”

“Our relationship with Mr. Williams began when I was an assistant director and we were trying to find someone to come in and guest conduct for one of our major anniversaries,” Colburn said. “I invited him on behalf of the then-director. That started a relationship I’m very happy about.”

Colburn said Williams served as Marine Band guest conductor several times during Colburn’s tenure as director.

“He actually did write a piece for the band shortly before I retired, called ‘For the President’s Own,’” Colburn said. “I was really excited to have one of our most famous composers writing a piece for the Marine Band.

I’ve done a lot of Mr. Williams’ music, as you might imagine, but I’ve never conducted this (piece) before since it was part of the soundtrack of the movie that came out this summer. I’m looking forward to learning the piece and taking it for a test ride with the Marine Band.”

Colburn said there are several differences. For instance, the average age of Marine Band members is approximately 35.

“The first thing I told the members of the Butler Wind Ensemble is I didn’t ever expect them to sound like the Marine Band. That wouldn’t really be a realistic expectation,” Colburn said. “I’ve enjoyed working with young members for many years. Even with my time with the Marine Band, I did a lot of guest conducting with high school and college ensembles. My father was a high school band director, so I’m no stranger to education.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 110 W. Main Ave., Carmel What to get: The PBB&J burger Price: $12 Anna’s take: The PBB&J combines the best of both the savory and sweet worlds.

A thick, meaty burger is layered with mild Monterey Jack cheese, candied bacon slices, and strawberry preserves. A sea-salted peanut butter is smeared on the bun. I’m a little late to the peanut-butter-on-a-burger game, but this was an excellent choice to introduce me to the delicacy. The Pint Room lets you choose between a variety of sides, and

I’m a sucker for sweet potato fries. In addition to the stellar food, The Pint Room’s bar has a unique ambiance, with the names of all its current beers listed on a chalkboard.

Beer taps line the walls behind the bar. It’s definitely a burger-and-beer joint, and it didn’t disappoint. If you aren’t a fan of red meat, The Pint Room offers some salads, different sandwiches and a variety of appetizers as well.

Suggested pairings: The Pint Room has 100 rotating taps and 24 core taps, so you’re bound to find a beer you like. A few options to pair with the PBB&J burger would be a Sun King Cream Ale or a Workingman’s Pilsner from Fountain Square Brewing Company, both core taps always offered at The Pint Room. If you’re one for darker beers, try pairing the Founders Breakfast Stout with the PBB&J burger. Porters pair well with red meat, and the sweet beer complements the strawberry preserves.

Behind bars: Gin Gimlet Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. No Mean City gin, 1/2 lime, squeezed, 1 oz. simple syrup, soda water, cucumber wheel Directions: Shake gin, lime juice and simple syrup in tin with ice.

Strain over ice, top with soda and garnish with a cucumber wheel.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement finish in Westfield Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal of this basement finish was to create a functional floorplan that allowed for entertainment, relaxation and recreation.

1. Designing a floorplan that worked for the homeowner was the first step in this large transformation. An entertainment area, office space, bedroom and full bathroom were incorporated into the final design.

2. In the entertainment area, a stacked stone gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry and shelving were added.

3. The entertainment area also included a wet bar, finished with new cabinetry and a cement tile backsplash, making it a perfect place to host guests.

4. A home office was created and designed to be easily separated from the rest of the basement with a sliding barn door.

5. An extra bedroom and full bathroom were added to the basement for guests.

Background info: Located in the Merrimac neighborhood in Westfield, this mid ’90s home was the perfect place for the homeowners to raise their family. Although the home hadn’t had many updates, it still functioned well with the exception of the basement.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The challenge for this project was space planning to create a new finished basement. The unfinished basement was mostly used for storage and kids’ recreation. The family was missing storage and needed a good layout that created separate areas that met current and future needs.

Couldn’t — or could? — care less Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Now Hiring ALL Positions in: Westfield Carmel Fishers Geist Zionsville Noblesville Kroger Offers Flexible Scheduling, Employee Discounts, Career Advancement, Benefits, & More!

I care approximately zero about owning a watch. I can’t imagine (at this point where our phones rule our GRAMMAR GUY lives and do everything for us) ever needing to own a watch. I don’t care about them as fashion accessories, nor do I need to have one as a status statement. After I take a watch off, my arm hairs all stand at attention as if the commander of the arm hair army is passing by.

So, should I say, “I could care less about watches,” or, “I couldn’t care less about watches?”

I should correctly say, “I couldn’t care less about watches.” This implies that my level of caring about watches is already so low it may as well be nonexistent. It’s not possible for me to care any less about owning a watch. Even nerdy calculator watches are redundant at this point unless you’re wearing one, ironically. And I don’t really see the point in the smartwatch.

With my smartphone, I have no need for a watch. As a man who wears male clothing, my pockets are big enough for my wallet, phone and Burt’s Bees lip balm. Don’t get

E. Davis Coots

me started on pockets and gender privilege.

It’s totally a thing. Men have an upper hand even when it comes to functional, amply sized pockets.

When you say, “I could care less,” it implies that you can, in fact, care less. Unless you’re using this phrase sarcastically, you’re using it incorrectly. “I could care less about humans,” the uppity housecat yawned to herself. First of all, that cat can talk! Secondly, she’s implying that she has the capacity to care less about humans, even though she has not exhibited any evidence that she has ever cared about humanity (with the exception of when she’s hungry).

Perhaps the key to reducing our anxiety and stress is to start caring less about things out of our control. We get so consistently worked up about the littlest things.

On the other hand, maybe you couldn’t care less about this entire topic. If that’s the case, you’re already ahead of your time.
