U.S. reps Brooks and Messer hold school safety roundtable at HSE

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On Oct. 25, representatives from education, public safety and Congress attended a school safety roundtable at Hamilton Education Southeastern High School. U.S. Reps. Susan W. Brooks and Luke Messer hosted the event.

“HSE implements something called text-a-tip, a communication tool for students to report anonymously or not some issues that they might be concerned about whether a student is contemplating suicide or aware of drugs on campus,” Brooks said. “School resource officers are positions of trust with students, just like teachers.

They become part of the fabric of the schools.

That is how they often get a lot of tips, and because of some incredible law enforcement efforts in Lawrence Schools last week, drugs were confiscated. They (drugs) are still in our schools. It’s still a problem.”

Mental health issues, ways of keeping potential predators and criminals out of buildings and other security issues also were discussed.

“School security challenges everything from dealing with drug overdoses to natural disasters to violence perpetrated by a student to terrorist attacks,” Messer said. “It’s a broad range of challenges and exciting to hear how Indiana is

dealing with it. We can do more to physically serve the (school) facilities and make sure there is an alert system within the school so it is more difficult for someone to get in if they have bad intentions, and also make sure we have training and school resource officers on site.”

Representatives from Secure Schools Alliance, Fishers Police Dept., Indiana Dept. of Homeland Security, Indiana State Police, Indiana Sheriffs’ Association, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Southwestern Consolidated School District of Shelby County, Our Kids Deserve It, Stanley Security, Carmel Clay Schools, Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township, Allegion, Zionsville Town Council, Johnson Controls, Hamilton Southeastern Schools and Fanning Howey attended the roundtable discussion.

“We have a pretty good model here in Indiana with school safety academy, and if we can get that sort of leadership at the federal level, that could work on school safety programs by hardening the target with physical changes to the building to make it harder to get in and do damage,” said Dr. Michael Beresford, assistant superintendent of staff and students.

“We spend a lot of time traveling around and saying, ‘See something, say something,” Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter said.

In preparation of the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville’s future construction project, the City city of Noblesville has ended its lease for the space used to host the Conner Basketball Courts at Conner and 17th streets.

The Noblesville Parks Terry Dept. will begin removing the rims and backboards at Conner Courts as early as Nov. 8 and 9 for the entire goals and courts to be removed.

“We wanted to provide the public one more Bennett weekend of access before the equipment is taken down,” Brandon Bennett, Noblesville Parks and Recreation director stated, in a press release. “The courts have been a great asset to the community, and we will miss them; however, the opportunity for the Boys & Girls Club to be able to build a new facility that will serve more kids in our community is an even greater asset to Noblesville.”

The city has managed the courts under a license agreement to continue operating the courts since the Boys & Girls Club purchased the land in 2015 for the location of the construction of a new facility. The organization anticipates breaking ground on the new club in the spring, and city officials said with the change in weather conditions and preparation work that needs to be done, a joint decision was made per the agreement to remove the basketball courts at this time.

“Fundraising efforts continue for our Build & Grow Capital Campaign, and we are optimistic that we will reach our goal of $6 million by the end of 2016,” Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Executive Director Becky Terry stated in a press release. “Our goal is to build a new facility at 1700 Conner St. that will have the capacity to serve more youth and to provide additional programs and activities beyond what we are currently able to offer. Unfortunately, the most efficient design has our stormwater retention area overlapping with the existing outdoor courts.”

The Noblesville Street Dept. announced Oct. 26 it is continuing efforts to keep streets clean in autumn. streets The annual leaf pick-up program will continue weekly through Dec. 2.

There are two methods residents can use to dispose of leaves: 1) Bagging leaves in free, biodegradable bags, and 2) Raking loose leaves to the grass area next to the curb.

The bagged-leaf method is the quickest since bagged leaves are picked up citywide once a week on residents’ regularly scheduled trash day. There can be a waiting period of up to three weeks between loose-leaf pick-ups because street crews make a continuous circuit of the city with the leaf vacuums.

Bagged leaves will be picked up on the same day as residents’ regular trash day but not necessarily at the same time, since leaves are collected by the street department and not Republic Services. Residents should be sure leaves are only bagged in the free biodegradable bags provided by the city and are placed separately from trash containers.

Residents can set out as many biodegradable bags as necessary, but each bag must weigh

The city’s annual leaf pick-up program will run through Dec. 2. (Submitted photo)

no more than 40 pounds. Bags are available, free of charge, to Noblesville residents at all fire stations, city hall at 16 S. 10th St., the street department at 1575 Pleasant St., the parks department at Forest Park and the Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste Center, 1717 Pleasant St. If residents choose to rake their loose leaves, they must be collected as close to the edge of the street as possible without placing leaves in the street. Loose leaves with brush, grass, litter and other debris will not be picked up, as this will damage equipment.

Neither loose leaves nor bagged leaves will

be picked up in alleys. Pick-ups will only be in front of a resident’s house. After Dec. 2, if residents have bagged or loose leaves for pick-up, they will need to contact the street department and provide their address. The street department will continue to pick up leaves after this date as weather permits.

Residents are strongly encouraged to bag their leaves after Dec. 2 because loose leaves run the risk of freezing, which then makes them unable to be picked up by the leaf machines.

For more, contact the street department at 317-776-6348.

Tinsel & Tails set for Nov. 17

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Tinsel & Tails: Holiday Petacular, the annual winter fundraiser for the Humane Society for Hamilton County, is set for 6 p.m. Nov. 17 at Ritz Charles. Tickets start pets at $105 for the dinner and presentation. The event also will include a silent auction.

HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the nonprofit always tries to top what it did the year before. Last year, it announced at Tinsel & Tails that Gracie, a paraplegic pit bull who was hit by a car and left for dead, finally found a permanent home after 13 months of Stevens living in a small office at the HSHC in Noblesville.

Stevens said there will be six to 10 animals featured this year. She can’t say which ones but guarantees there will be some “happy tears” in the crowd.

“It’s always a surprise, and in fact it’s a surprise to our staff, too,” she said. “It’s maybe a group of five or six that know.”

Stevens said the event is also a good time to look back on the accomplishments of the previous year. She said she will announce some record-breaking numbers from the recent Woofstock event and talk about future goals, including the continuing need to look for land for a new building. She said the thing she’s most proud of is her staff.

“Since we’re a no-kill shelter and we don’t turn away animals, every day we’re scrambling to find room, and there’s never enough,” she said. “There are good days where we have lots of adoptions, and we have tough days when you get something like a hoarding case.

I’m so proud of our staff.”

Every year the event sells out with around 600 attendees. Last year, HSHC raised $80,000 at the fundraiser.

A parting glass Commentary by Jonathan Matthes Well, here it is, the last installment. I want to say a big “thank you” to all you who have followed the entire series, or picked it up halfway, or just started. I’ve had a blast, and hopefully you’ve had some fun reading along, too.

If you want more “Inaugurally Addressed,” just incessantly email the editors. Remember, the more obnoxious a little kid is, the more likely the trip to Disney World becomes. But seriously, we’ve come a long way and covered a lot of ground. Robert Todd Lincoln, check.

James Buchanan, check. Calvin Coolidge, quadruple check. The next time someone says, “This election is the worst,” you can say, “Well, let me tell you about Andrew Jackson.”

But that’s a long enough stroll down memory lane. I thought it’d be nice to offer you these three Hoosier-election factoids as a parting glass. Enjoy.

1. Mike Pence could become the fifth Hoosier vice president. Schuyler Colfax in 1868, Thomas Hendricks in 1884, Thomas R. Marshall in 1912 and 1916, and Dan

Quayle in 1988 were the other four. I don’t know about you, but that’s more than I thought.

2. Three men with significant Indiana ties have been president: William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison. Benjamin, an Indiana resident, was William’s grandson. Little Ben was 7 when William died, meaning they were all alive at the same time.

3. Indiana has been a part of 50 elections and has been with the winning ticket 37 times. That’s a .740 batting average, or the same as LeBron James’ career free-throw percentage.

Interesting, right?

Anyway, the election is Nov. 8. I know we’re all not exactly pumped about the prospects.

But if there’s a takeaway from “Inaugurally Addressed,” it’s that we all get to do it again in four years. Whether that’s hopeful or dreadful, I leave up to you.

Hamilton County Parks to celebrate historic bridges Nov. 10

Washington 113 spans 150 feet from the White River Campground River bank to its connection to Hamilton 21.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

hamilton County 21

More than 15 years in the making, three Indiana counties have come together in a unique way – via a bridge cover story spanning the White River at Strawtown Koteewi Park and White River Campground in northern Noblesville and Cicero.

This summer, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation connected three bridges, each more than a century old, to create one bridge approximately 285 feet long.

Now, the department is Patterson looking to celebrate the feat with The Historic Bridges Festival Nov. 10, with a dedication ceremony beforehand.

Hamilton County Parks Director Al Patterson said the county has been working on the project since early 2000 after a friend of the Hamilton County Parks Dept., Jim Barker, let officials know of a bridge that was set to be demolished – Washington County Bridge No. 113.

A reconstruction of Hamilton County Bridge No. 21 – made using its original plans from 1890 – connects Washington No. 113 to Wayne

A FAMILY PARTNERSHIP Al Patterson’s daughter, Kate Patterson, a tourism and event management student IUPUI, also has had a hand in creating the dedication event and festival.

“We had client meetings and we offered them a few ideas to start out with,” she said.

“We could have just done a dedication ceremony, but why not get the public involved?

So, we thought of this festival, a family festival. We work through our professor and keep in contact with (the department), but we basically take it over, and that gives us the opportunity to really learn. It’s been an incredible opportunity, and it’s been really cool to have my dad as my client.”

In 1990, the original Hamilton County Bridge No. 21 was demolished. But after looking at historic bridges in other counties to bring to Noblesville, the parks department began looking for something a little closer to home.

Original plans from 1890 were found at Ball State University, and the 35-foot bridge was recreated to serve as the connecting piece from Washington 113 to the 100-foot Wayne County Bridge No. 229.

For nearly 10 years after the bridge was acquired, it lay in pieces, stored behind a facility at Strawtown Koteewi Park.

Hamilton County paid nothing for the bridge, and it was acquired through a state preservation effort.

“Washington County was getting rid of it, and by that time, the state was creating

their historic bridge inventory and restoration program to try to help save some of these historic bridges,” Patterson said. “We were one of the first people to recover and restore a bridge through this program.

“It was designed to be kind of the next big thing in steel-truss bridges, but by the time it became the next big thing, new technology was coming into place, going away from the big steel superstructure that you see up over the top. So, this was the only one ever built in Indiana.”

This bridge was built in 1904 by the New Castle Bridge Company.

“Wayne County 229 also goes by the name of the American standard,” Patterson said. “It was literally built by the thousands all over the country.”

To get the bridge taken down and stored in Pierceton, Ind., where it sat for nearly 10 years, the cost was approximately $55,000.

In all, Hamilton County paid approximately $600,000 for the entire project after matching 20 percent of a $3 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation.

Upon entering the White River Campground from the south side of Strawtown Avenue, the huge, royal blue steel beams stick up from the trees over the river. Patterson said nobody knows what color the bridges were in their original state, but in an effort to make it stand out, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation chose something that would contrast with the earthtones surrounding it.

A dedication ceremony for the three bridges will begin at noon Nov. 10 and last until approximately 2:45 p.m. The Historic Bridges Festival will kick off later that afternoon at 4 p.m.

Both events are free and open to the public.

The festival will include a performance from My Yellow Rickshaw, food trucks, a scavenger hunt and family activities like corn hole and a bounce house.

State law change to election ballot impacts straightparty voting editorial@youarecurrent.com According to the Association of Indiana Counties, Inc., voters planning to cast a straight-party ballot in the Nov. 8 election need to be aware of changes to the general election ballot which could impact their final ballot selections.

Senate Enrolled Act 61, which takes effect for the first time in the upcoming general election, requires voters to select individual candidates when voting for any at-large offices.

“Voters still have the option to cast a straightparty ballot, but it is important to note this option will not cast votes for candidates running for any at-large offices, school board positions, nor will choosing the straight-party option cast votes for any public questions,” stated Debbie Walker, president of Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana. “Voters must proceed to that position on the ballot and make their selections to cast their votes for those offices or questions.”

The Association of Clerks of Circuit Courts of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties urge voters to educate themselves about their ballot options.

Walker, who also serves as Henry County Clerk of the Circuit Court, said, “On behalf of all clerks of the circuit court of Indiana and the Association of Indiana Counties, we want to ensure voters are aware of this new law and do not inadvertently fail to cast their votes for at-large offices.”

Lions to host 3rd veterans’ dinner

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com For the Noblesville Lions Club, this year will be the third in which dedicates its November meeting to those who have served and to honoring Veterans Day. VETERANS DAY For the past two years, members of the club have invited at least one veteran they know to share anecdotes about their time served.

Guests include both men and women, young and old, who have served in the Middle East, dating back to service during World War II. The club’s president, Dave Marsh, first had the idea for the event in 2014 when he was planning Lions events for the year.

In both 2014 and 2015, the dinner was held at the club’s usual meeting place – Jim Dandy Restaurant on Conner Street in Noblesville. But this year, the event will be held at the Noblesville Masonic Lodge No. 57 at 295 S. Ninth St., Noblesville, at 6:30 p.m.

Nov. 9, just two days before Veterans Day. Doors open at 6 p.m.

“We’re expecting a bigger turnout,” Chairperson Steve Shaw said. “We had close to 40 veterans last year, and with club members it was up 80 to 85 (people.) We’re anticipating it’s going to grow.”

In 2014, the event garnered approximately 50 club members and veterans. In 2015, the dinner welcomed more than 80. At both events, attendees enjoyed food and drinks, sang patriotic songs, prayed and shared their stories. This year, since the event is expected to be welcoming more and for the sake of time, Shaw said each guest will introduce themselves and say which branch of the military they were in and years served, but anecdotal stories will be welcomed informally after the dinner.

New this year, the American Legion will provide its color guard. Dinner will be catered by Jim Dandy.

The Noblesville Lions Club has approximately 60 members, meets twice each month and celebrated its 74th year in May. To learn more, visit e-clubhouse.org/sites/noblesville.

O’Charley’s partners for vets

Explore Atterbury-Bakalar

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Jennifer Ingersoll

Five O’Charley’s restaurant locations in the state, one in Fishers, one in Noblesville and three in Indianapolis, VETERANS DAY have announced a partnership with The Folded Flag Foundation for Veterans Day. The organization is known for its providing of scholarships and educational-support grants to families of fallen soldiers.

These five locations, from now through Veterans Day weekend (Nov. 13) will be donating a quarter for each 22-ounce beer sold, and 100 percent of all donations will go directly to the foundation. Guests will also be able to make a separate donation on their restaurant bill.

The Folded Flag Foundation awarded 44 educational grants for the 2016-17 school year, totaling $365,000 in scholarships.

“We are so grateful to O’Charley’s for recognizing our cause and helping us make a difference in the lives of military families,” John Coogan, executive director at The Folded Flag Foundation, stated in a press release.

This is the first year O’Charley’s has partnered with The Folded Flag Foundation, but the company has a history of honoring service men and women and their families through its

The Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum is located on the former Bakalar Air Force Base and current ColumVETERANS DAY bus Municipal Airport.

Originally known as Atterbury Army Air Field when built in 1942, the base was renamed Bakalar and used for reservist training through 1970. William Atterbury and John Bakalar were Hoosier war heroes. To preserve the rich past of the Base, the museum displays items of Army/ Air Force history during the periods of World War II through Vietnam.

Exhibits include an F-4 Phantom Jet, displayed outside the entrance as well as handcrafted 1/8 scale model aircraft some with a 15-foot wingspan. A barracks display shares the tight and sparse living quarters for the trainees, while the World War II glider pilot exhibit exposes the unbelievable sacrifices made by the brave men.

Other exhibits include the Tuskegee Airmen and a World War II jeep that on examination show the driver and passenger were literally sitting on the gas tank of the vehicle. There is an exhibit dedicated to a brave set of World War II pilots that did not receive recognition

Hometown Hero program, which has honored more than 160 military individuals to date.

“The Folded Flag Foundation’s mission is one that is important to O’Charley’s,” President Eddie Hall said. “We understand the sacrifice not only these fallen soldiers have made for our country, but their families as well.”

In addition to this partnership, O’Charley’s will celebrate Veterans Day by offering veterans and active-duty service members, for the fifth year, a free, $9.99 meal on Veterans Day. The restaurant chain also offers a 10 percent discount to military members throughout the year.

Approximately 200-plus O’Charley’s restaurants nationwide have set a goal of raising at least $75,000 for The Folded Flag Foundation this year. O’Charley’s is located at 16725 Mercantile Blvd. in Noblesville and 11655 Fishers Corner Blvd. in Fishers. To learn more, visit www.foldedflagfoundation.org.

by the military. Known as the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots or WASPs, these women were not allowed to fly in combat, yet were often used for extremely dangerous missions, including test pilots.

But to really know the history and understand the sacrifices taken, talk to one of the museum volunteers, many former pilots and servicemen. Allowing these volunteers to share their stories and experiences is perhaps the greatest way to acknowledge and respect the service and sacrifice of not only these men, but all our veterans.

Pining for an empty nest

FRO M THE BACKSHOP

It’s the best we could do?

Nearly two years ago, we predicted here that Hillary Clinton would win the race for the White House. Polling this week leaves us in doubt about that. Her opponent, Donald Trump, has gained mightily in sampling - not so much because he’s “the answer” but because she is “the question.” With the unraveling of the Clinton machine - what with pay to play, getting debate questions in advance (thanks, Donna Brazile!) and total ineptitude with respect to email statements and servers, among other “attributes” - her campaign is looking sickly as we head for the Nov. 8 vote. Let us be frank: To quote the egomaniacal Trump, having Clinton as president would be a “disaster.” Having him? Questionable. The Clinton machine sinks deeper than any. Former President Richard Nixon was forced from office for the Watergate scandal. We believe that everything Clinton has done makes Watergate look like Romper Room. Is it rigged, as he suggests? Yes, we believe it is. The Democratic National Committee all but locked out Bernie Sanders, and, of course, there was the feeding of debate questions along with the Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch “chat about grandchildren.” Please! Maybe it’s not the corruption that raises eyebrows here anymore, but how stupid the machine believes all of us are. We wouldn’t want her within 100 miles of a seat of power. These candidates are what we as a nation have given ourselves? If there is anything we like about Trump, it’s that he has brought the spineless Republican Party almost to its knees. If there’s anything we regard about Clinton, it’s that she married well.

Sadly, that is that.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A co-mission Commentary by Terry Anker A basic principal of the law is the distinction between commission and omission.

One points to those times when a person is proved to have committed an act prohibited by a particular code or rule. Alternatively, one can be held liable if they should have taken a specific action but failed to do so.

The former is fairly straight forward.

Namely, one steals from another, violating the local law, and is held to account for the transgression. The latter can be a bit more complicated. Imagine a therapist who believes that his patient may have violent tendencies. Does the doctor have an obligation to report the potential criminal to the police or should he protect her privacy?

What if the patient disclosed that she had already killed her husband and was storing him in the freezer – would the doctor be an accessory to the crime if he simply omitted disclosure? What if the patient killed again?

Should the therapist have tried to prevent

it? Must he have?

On Nov. 8, many of us will cast a ballot to select a new leader of the free world. And, we carry with us into the voting booth any number of deeply held beliefs. Some of them have been tested by close examination and others have not. Without a doubt, a few will negatively judge the choices we make. Others will sympathize.

Do we have a co-mission – to vote and to make a perfect choice? If we cannot, can we opt out? Is how we vote as important as knowing that we did? This is a year where many believe committing the act of voting for president is a near crime while a choice to omit is a high road alternative. Can we judge those who vote “wrong” more harshly than those who fail to mark a ballot at all?

Q UOTE OF THE WEEK We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction.

Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice.

– Woody Allen

As I sit contemplating a recent email, I’m reminded that my husband Doo and I are on the verge of something humor wonderful. The aforementioned message was from our medical provider, dutifully informing us that we no longer have access to our oldest’s health records, including the diagnosis and prescribed care for a broken nose he suffered yesterday on his 18th birthday (yes, the same kid who crashed his grandfather’s car on Mother’s Day, four days after receiving his driver’s license, was on the wrong end of a particularly hard and pointy elbow during a PE class basketball game. Of course, I’ve already been blamed, as I’m the mean mom who refused to call him out for first period so he could sleep in on his most special of days).

We are now officially the parents of an adult, albeit one with a now slightly crooked nose. And even though science says his brain won’t be fully developed until he’s 25, I am within my legal rights to kick him out of the house and wish him best of luck. Hallelujah! Not that we have any mind to do so, but it’s comforting to know we have the option. Am I right?

But I digress. The point is, Doo and I are fast-approaching a new phase in our lives, one without carpool duties, homework panic attacks and band fundraisers. God willing, all four of our precious little angels will be gone in less than six years. I know that parenting never gets easier, that my children will always cause me worry, but I have to admit I am totally looking forward to a Wilson empty-nest.

So in addition to a dangerous but kinda-cool crossbow gift and a hilarious “What’s-Up? Chicken Butt” card, we celebrated the bejeesus out of this milestone birthday. A cupcake breakfast, Spongebob balloons and a Benihana dinner. Throw in an emergency room visit and you have the makings of, if not a perfect day, at least a memorable one.

Happy 18th, my darling! Dad and I are thrilled HIPAA now applies to you! Peace out.

READERS ’ VIEWS Wilson column not humor Editor, I cannot understand how the Danielle Wilson column (Oct. 18) about her father’s fall that resulted in his broken neck was labeled humor.

A humorist’s goal should be to elicit a smile, a grin or a laugh from the reader. This column didn’t elicit any of these responses. Remark-

ing on the inconvenience and a sibling’s lack of assistance due to alcohol was the usual whining, insulting and negativism in Danielle’ writing. Her column should be labeled “My Negative Viewpoint.” It’s definitely not humor.

Signals hardly the solution Deputy Mayor Steve Cooke, Your report on improved traffic signals is a step in the right direction, but hardly the solution to really help downtown Noblesville, as well as the whole city.

1. While “tinkering” with traffic signals, 48-foot semi trucks, construction trucks, garbage trucks, frequent over-size equipment or trucks and oil tankers continue to “plow” through the heart of our city. In short, this is a major obstacle to what you and the people want our town to be and can be. Meanwhile, more and

more towns are prohibiting trucks in the center of town to meet expansion, real improvement and pedestrian safety.

2. The above might explain why towns like Fishers, Carmel, Zionsville, etc. recently received $1 million from the (Indiana Dept. of Transportation), while we received “table scraps” of $458,000 for road improvement.

Why we received less than half than the others deserves an explanation.

Riverview has wide reach

ONE STOP. FOUR PARTIES. RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN STYLE!

Riverview Health CEO Seth Warren presented an update on the Noblesville hospital at the Noblesville Chamber of county Commerce luncheon Oct. 26, but the information spanned across the county.

“We are more than just a hospital. We are caring for the patients more than just within the walls of the hospital, but throughout Tipton and Hamilton counties,” Warren said.

“We have a number of nursing homes, and as is typical with hospitals, we have a number of services. All of these represent the most important thing that we do, which is caring for patients. Our whole goal is to provide high quality care to our patients and compassionate care to our patients.”

Warren presented on Riverview Health’s statistics and said many don’t realize the hospital is county owned.

“We truly are an economic engine. People often don’t understand the relationship of Riverview being a county hospital,” Warren said.

“Most county hospitals have the name of the county on them, but back in 1952, the county changed it to Riverview and moved away from Hamilton County Hospital, so unfortunately a lot of people don’t recognize it is owned by the county.”

Because the hospital is owned by Hamilton County, no tax revenue supports Riverview Health. Warren provided statistics and updates on the hospital, including the progress of the Westfield Outpatient Care Center at the northeast corner of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32. Steel was being erected as of Oct. 24, and comple-

tion is expected by the fourth quarter of next year. The 100,000-square-foot, six-story care center will be the tallest building in Westfield.

“We are well-established with Noblesville and have a close relationship with Noblesville, but we are also seeing growth to the west of us and are excited to be a part of that growth and funnel those patients over to the main hospital,” Warren said. “It’s going to be rather impressive and a hallmark facility. About 15 or 20 years ago, the growth was in Carmel and Fishers, and you’d see hospitals being built in those communities. Now, the growth has happened north of 146th Street, so we see a lot of other health care systems.”

Riverview Health provides school nursing for Noblesville, Westfield, Sheridan and Hamilton Heights schools as well as athletic training for those schools and Clinton Central.

Pended sales up 6.1 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s residential real estate market showed steady growth in September, according to statistics real estate compiled by F.C.

Hamilton County’s pended sales jumped more than 17 percent in September 2016 compared to September 2015. Prices have also increased by 2.8 percent over last year to an average of $285,496. The number of available homes for sale continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 8.4 percent in September, a drop of 162 homes available compared to this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options available to them. Last month, 319 homes were available for sale – 98 fewer homes compared to September 2015.

• Pended home sales increased in Noblesville. In September 2016, 85 homes sold – an increase of 11 homes compared to September 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, four were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 24 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 23 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 33 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced below $99,999.

Despite the drop in homes for sale, home buyers are snatching up available homes rather quickly. Low mortgage rates and appropriately priced homes should keep positive momentum in home buying through the end of 2016.

SEASON SPONSOR

The Fishers Community Chorus will present “An Afternoon on Broadway” at 3 p.m. Nov 6 at Geist Christian Church. concert The Fishers Community Chorus is an ensemble of Fishers Music Works. It was formed in 2015 and consists of 40 singers ranging from 30 to 70 years old with a wide range of performance backgrounds. The FCC is an outlet for residents of Fishers to share their passion for performing with the community.

“With different backgrounds and experiences, I think we work stronger as a team as each person can bring a different ingredient that helps mold and shape our unique choral sound,” said Schuyler Brinson, music director and conductor for the Fishers Community Chorus. “In many ways I think of it as the individual ingredients that are in a recipe. Each provides something unique and important to the food we’re preparing. When they are combined, you end up with a wonderful product. The same is true for a choir. When you combine everyone and mold and shape the sound, the end result is a unique and blended choral ensemble.”

The FCC is a volunteer group. Brinson said

he enjoys the challenge of taking individual voices and molding them into a unified sound.

During the rehearsal process, Brinson encourages the choral members to perform and tell the stories of each of the songs.

“I believe it’s one thing to simply sing the text, but it’s another to make the notes and words on the page come alive,” Brinson said.

“An Afternoon on Broadway” features pieces

by Indiana composer Cole Porter, as a connection to the Indiana bicentennial, and pieces from “The Sound of Music,” “Anything Goes,” “Carousel” and more.

Admission is free. Geist Christian Church is at 8550 Mud Creek Rd. For more, visit fishersmusicworks.org.

Tailgating in the late fall has its temperature challenges. Sometimes we tailgate in the cold morning and then sit in the stadium in the hot sun. Sometimes we tailgate in the afternoon sun and experience a fall in the temperature as the game proceeds into the night. So the question is, “How should we dress for the weather?”

The use of layers is the best strategy. One should have a base clothing layer to regulate body temperature and move moisture away from his or her skin to a second layer, where it spreads along a larger surface area where it can dry more effectively.

For warming nutrition, try this great recipe: Very Simple Tailgate Turkey Chili 5 ways This chili avoids a little of the fat of ground beef without losing any of the flavor we require for pre-game and post-game meals.

You’ll find that the whole tomatoes are very soothing to your throat on a cold day.

Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground turkey, 1 lb. spaghetti, 3 pkgs. McCormick’s Chili Mix (or your favorite), 3 28 oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes (un-drained), 4 15 oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained), Olive Oil. Preparation: The night before, cook pasta according to package directions, then drain and set it aside. Brown the turkey in a large pot with some olive oil. Then add everything else to the pot. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then reduce the heat to allow the chili to simmer for one hour. Stir the mixture occasionally. Allow the chili to cool on your deck or balcony. Then refrigerate overnight. Put pasta

into paper cups with drain holes punched in the bottom to allow water to drain away. Refrigerate the spaghetti cups overnight.

On game day heat the pot of chili to a boil, then remove from heat and place the pot onto a pad in your Coleman powerchill thermoelectric cooler to keep it hot on your trip to the game. You can also add the paper cups of pasta to this heated cooler. Or you can place the chili in a room temperature cooler surrounded with insulating towels and use your grill to heat it at the game. You can heat water at the game or from a thermos and pour it through the cups of pasta before you add them to your individual chili bowls. Serve chili over the spaghetti and add onions and cheese.

If asked, “5-way” means: 1. Spaghetti, 2.

Chili, 3. Beans, 4. Onion, 5. Cheese.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor living spaces Commentary by Larry Greene

After

The goal was to create low maintenance outdoor living spaces for both entertaining and every day life.

1. The deck footprint was expanded to allow for seating, making this a place for the family to gather and entertain. The Trex composite deck and railing material requires little maintenance to keep it looking new.

2. The staircase was expanded and relocated to allow for more space to dedicate to the grill. The grill now sits in its own alcove with a stainless steel prep shelf.

3. LED deck lights were added down the stairway leading to their existing outdoor fireplace to make evening entertaining easier.

4. Their screened-in porch was transformed into a three-season room with the addition of a new EZE breeze window system. These vinyl glazed panes have the transparency of glass without the cost or weight. When closed they can seal the room to allow for more everyday comforts like baseboard heating and more substantial furniture.

Before Background Info: This 2005-built home in the Dean Road area in Indianapolis was in need of an upgrade to their outdoor living spaces. The homeowners needed a better space to enjoy their lush back yard and pool area.

Before problems: The original deck was stained cedar decking that required a significant amount of maintenance each year. These active homeowners needed an improved outdoor living solution with easy upkeep. Their sunroom was in need of updates to transition it into a three-season room.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

Passau, Germany, from Danube River. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Passau: Swords and records Commentary by Don Knebel Passau, Germany, prides itself on a record many would think beyond the reach of a city of 50,000. It recently posted travel another record for which its residents were not so happy.

From 999 to 1803, Passau was ruled by a prince-bishop, a bishop with secular powers. Veste Oberhaus, the bishop’s imposing fortress, still overlooks the city from a small mountain across the Danube. A large red wolf from the bishop’s coat of arms adorns the building’s exterior. The wolf once identified swords forged in Passau, which were revered because users thought the wolf gave them divine protection One of Passau’s main attractions today is the St. Stephen’s Cathedral, whose twin towers can be seen throughout the city.

cathedral was erected in the Baroque style between 1668 and 1693 after an earlier cathedral was destroyed in a fire. St. Stephen’s pipe organ has grown over the years until it now has 17,774 pipes and 233 registers. The organ was the largest in the world until 1994, when it was outdone by a church organ in Los Angeles and had to settle for being the largest outside the United States. The sound of this massive organ can be drowned out by eight large bells hanging in the towers’ bell rooms The largest, cast in 1952, weighs more than eight tons.

Passau is sometimes called the City of Three Rivers because it lies at the intersection of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. About once every five years, one of the rivers floods.

In 2013, persistent rains caused the Danube to reach levels several feet above the tops of doors in the city center. The outside wall of an old building marks the crests of 10 major floods since 1501. The 2013 waters reached a level not seen in 500 years.
