Brinegar addresses 2020 legislative goals

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Before discussing goals for the 2020 Indiana General Assembly legislative session, Indiana ChamCHAMBER ber of Commerce President Kevin Brinegar presented a history of Indiana’s business climate during the Dec. 13 chamber breakfast for all Hamilton County chambers at Conner Prairie.

Brinegar shared statistics from 2000-01 and compared them to today’s figures.

“We were the only state to suffer a net loss of technology jobs during the ‘dot-com’ boom from 1994 to 2000,” Brinegar said.

Indiana also ranked poorly in other areas, including job creation and growth, where it was 50th in 2000. The state was No. 1 in bankruptcies and home foreclosures, and the business tax climate was among the worst in the nation.

“What have we done to transform Indiana in the last 20 years?” Brinegar said. “The Indiana chamber’s response was to prepare and release our economic vision for 2010 in 2000. It was a 10-year economic action plan for the state, because at that time, the state had no plan. It set goals and metrics for moving Indiana out of the lower half.

“We embarked on a 20-year odyssey that I call our march out of mediocrity, and if you think about where we were in 2000, the term mediocrity is, frankly, generous.”

Today, Indiana’s business climate is significantly brighter. It is first in the nation for infrastructure, fourth for business friendliness, fourth for cost of doing business and second for software job growth, according to Brinegar.

“We have accomplished a lot in these last 20 years, but we are not finished,” Brinegar said.

Brinegar listed several areas where improvements can be made and noted how the General Assembly can help. Education attainment, per capita income, improving health metrics and increasing quality of place are among the ar-

DISPATCHES

eas he said the state can still grow.

To help improve education attainment, the General Assembly plans to spotlight Free Application for Federal Student Aid filings.

“Hoosiers are leaving a lot of money on the table by not filling out the FAFSA form. The rate of completion is the lowest in the Midwest states,” Brinegar said. “We think it ought to be a requirement with an opt-out option. This is not just for college, but for other training credentials.”

Brinegar also said the legislative session will focus on establishing a statewide energy plan.

“Indiana’s electricity supply dropped from 95 percent coal to 65 percent coal,” Brinegar said. “It caused our rank in electricity prices to go from fifth-lowest to now about 30th. We are doing a study on energy, on why that happened, where to go in the future and how can we have balance between renewables and lower cost and be strong for reliability.”

Brinegar voiced concern about the general state of Hoosiers’ health.

“Smoking in Indiana is 50 percent higher than the national average, and that costs businesses money,” he said.

Among other items, the General Assembly in 2020 will explore decreasing the state’s vaping and smoking rate by attempting to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21.

A monthly breakfast will be held at Conner Prairie throughout the legislative session. Cost is $20 for members of any Hamilton County chamber and $30 for nonmembers. For more, visit web.onezonecommerce.com.

A $15,000 grant will fund construction of a trail through a 20-acre conservation area at Teter Retreat and Organic Farm. (Submitted photo)

Teter Retreat receives grant for trail

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

“It would be a place where people could see the river and have access to it if they want to have a picnic or hike or see wildlife around that area.”

The project includes invasive species removal, cutting the trail and adding educational signage about pollinators and native plants.

“One of the reasons we decided to apply for this with Indiana Wildlife Federation was because we wanted to continue to help people connect to the natural world,” Hobbs said.

“Today, there’s a lot of folks that are on their computers a lot or on their phones a lot, and they don’t have the opportunity to get out and enjoy nature. This area is fairly wild and not fairly accessible, but a very beautiful part of our property. This trail will allow people to get access to this area and get closer to these native plants and wildlife inhabiting that area and experience nature in a more impactful way.”

A trail will soon pass through a habitat restoration site at Teter Retreat and Organic Farm, NATURE 10980 E. 221st St. The Indiana Wildlife Federation received a $15,000 grant from Duke Energy Foundation and will use the funds to build a new trail.

Director of Farm Operations Aaron Hobbs said construction will begin soon, and he expects the trail to be completed by spring.

The habitat restoration site is in the Teter Retreat’s 20-acre conservation area. A path already circles the conservation area’s perimeter. The new trail will pass through the area.

“This would actually be a trail going straight through the middle of this conservation area to open it up for people to experience that area a little bit more all the way through and down to the White River,” Hobbs said.

Volunteers for Secret Families of Hamilton County wrap gifts for local families Dec. 14 at Wasson Nursery. (Submitted photo)

Hundreds benefit from local Christmas charity

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com An agreement between a husband and wife to buy gifts for a struggling family inGIVING BACK stead of each other has flourished into something much larger after 15 years.

Last week, Secret Families Christmas Charity, an organization that delivers Christmas gifts to children in need, completed its mission of helping more than 400 families across central Indiana. Forty of those families, approximately 200 individuals, are in Hamilton County. The Hamilton County chapter of Secret Families started in 2014 with only eight families being served.

“Unlike the other counties we serve, Hamilton County fights the misconception that every resident is affluent,” said Tom Flanagan, “head elf” of Secret Families of Hamilton County.

“While the percentages look good in our community, there are over 10,000 children on free or reduced lunches in Hamilton County schools and over 12,000 people who fall below the poverty line. This is larger than the entire populations of eight Indiana counties.

“The stories of the families we help, which are provided to us from local

schools, range from the death of a parent to unplanned medical debt to sudden loss of a job, and the stories are not just isolated to a few corners of the county.”

On Dec. 14, shopping took place at Meijer in Noblesville, followed by gift wrapping at Wasson’s Nursery in Fishers. The gifts were then delivered.

Flanagan said although there is no set dollar amount per family (families range from 3 to 13 members), the average is approximately $550 per family and includes presents, a Meijer gift card to purchase a Christmas dinner and a decorated tree.

“There is no cap on families we serve aside from funding,” he said.

“Our largest chapter serves almost 400 families each year. We have far more families referred to us in Hamilton County than we can currently fund, and (we) would love to see this grow exponentially in the coming years.

“Christmas was a wonderful time for me and my wife when we were raising our children and now that we are raising our grandchildren. I cannot imagine as a parent having to say, ‘I’m sorry, but we can’t afford to have Christmas this year.’ This conversation takes place more often than people think each year in Hamilton County.”

Nurse, business owner talk working on the holidays

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Newborn babies don’t follow a labor or delivery schedule on holidays. No one knows that better than Gina Salem.

COVER STORY A maternity nurse at Riverview Health, Salem said the hospital follows a holiday rotation, so this year she worked on Thanksgiving but will have Christmas off.

“We did have a baby born on Thanksgiving, and we had moms in labor, and then they delivered the next day,” Salem said. “When it comes to maternity, I think (doctors) try not to schedule as many (induced deliveries) around the holiday, but moms who are naturally in labor (come in).”

Salem also works triage in the emergency room on holidays.

“Sometimes, a family is involved in a car accident on a holiday and the mom is pregnant,” she said.

Salem works a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift. Her extended family lives in Chicago, so if she works a holiday, she doesn’t travel to celebrate.

“They know that. They know it’s my holiday this year,” she said. “My dad and I will make plans to meet halfway sometimes before or sometimes after to exchange gifts.”

In preparation for Christmas, Salem said those who work holidays usually get their shopping done and presents wrapped early.

“Sometimes, you extend your holiday a little bit.

My kids never minded that because it seemed like Christmas lasted forever,” she said. “When you know what you’re working, you plan ahead for nights. If I had to work Christmas, we celebrate in the morning. I take a later nap and be up for work.

My father-in-law is local, so my husband would take the kids and I stayed home and got ready for work.”

Her family typically saves her a plate from holiday dinner and brings it home for her to enjoy the next day.

When her children, now ages 12 and 18, were younger, Salem said she had to be creative.

“If I worked Christmas Eve, my husband had to be the one who was ready for Santa,” she said.

WORKING IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY

Employees in the service industry often have to work holidays, too. Noble Coffee & Tea co-owner Robyn Littler opened the coffee shop on Thanksgiving morning because the Michael Treinen Foundation conducted its annual Turkey Trot 5K run and 3K walk through downtown Noblesville, and few other stores were open. The foundation assists individuals and their families affected by cancer.

“We’ve never been open for Thanksgiving, and I

knew the Turkey Trot took place that day, and we donated part of our sales that day (to the foundation),” Littler said. “It was really busy, and there were hundreds of people here. There weren’t a lot of places open on the square.”

Littler said she is unsure if Noble Coffee & Tea will open for Thanksgiving again next year. The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve but will be closed on Christmas.

CELEBRATING AT WORK In an attempt to bring the holiday spirit to the workplace, maternity nurse Gina Salem said co-workers sometimes celebrate at Riverview Health.

“Someone might send an email about a pitch-in or bring cookies or candy for Halloween,” she said.

“People might just bring in stuff for people to eat and snack on and just try to keep the spirit going for the patients. You have to try to keep them up because it’s bittersweet for them. They’re excited

to meet their new baby, but at the same time, if they have other children, they have to manage the holidays now.”

Salem said one year, she had patients who had babies on Thanksgiving send their husbands out Black Friday shopping.

“We are all adapting with the holidays, especially if the baby came sooner than they had figured,” Salem said. “Patients are always grateful for you to give your time to be there for a holiday.”

ESSAY

LETTER

What is too much?

This ‘racist’ votes for Trump

Commentary by Terry Anker

Earlier this month, Bloomberg Businessweek published a story querying if the state of Tennessee’s project to provide “free” college to any citizen who enrolls should be standard operating procedure across the nation. It sounds good.

So, how has it worked? Eligible Tennesseans apply about 80 percent of the time, but only a handful actually progress to enrolling in classes. Of those, nearly 20 percent drop out after one semester. Half quit by the end of three years.

Jobs, family obligations and a panoply of other distractions are cited for the disappointing stats.

The article rightly points out that money is not a magic wand. Socalled “wraparound services” are suggested to prop up the Tennessee Promise. Help finding day care, stable food, appropriate additional financial support and connection to tutoring are among the range of suggested benefits. There is some evidence that these may increase persistence, but no single one is sufficient to stop the bleeding and save the state.

Should more, or less, be expected from students trying to move their way up? Is it possible that our sympathy rather than expectant support reinforces the failure?

Certainly, folks need grit and encouragement from those they trust to overcome the challenges of life’s hardships. When are working, studying, car repairs and family relationships justifiably regarded as overwhelming, and when are they best described as commonly human, and therefore simply routine?

Bring on the holidays!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’ve finally gotten my holiday groove on, people! I’m just back from a 6 a.m. Meijer run, HUMOR followed by an hour at Kohl’s. With a generous serving of Amazon and a few swigs of merlot, I’m feeling quite good about Christmas. True, I’ve not yet written the annual family missive, nor have I mailed a single card.

But I’m not worried.

“Better late than never” is our family motto!

Now, if only my husband Doo would stop being such a Grinch. He’s been oscillating between “I don’t care if Maddie has dance, I’m vacuuming up this stupid tinsel” and “I can’t possibly get anything done if you keep nagging me about addressing envelopes.” That is why I’m stuffing my face with bourbon-soaked English fruitcake. I need a dense dessert to keep my potty-mouth in check.

I want to tell Doo to quit whining and go to the office if he needs to

work. Seriously, anyone here expecting to be left alone in the peace and quiet just days before Baby Jesus arrives is living in a winter wonderland.

This place is the Island of Misfit Toys, my friends. We have cats vomiting on rugs, cars breaking down, college kids up in my grill, and almost certainly a nasty flu virus lurking. Plus, I only finished teaching yesterday. Momma still has a ton of miracles to perform.

Let the reindeer games commence!

My point is, I need Doo to get on board my Polar Express — for him to take a moment to enjoy this crazy season, and more important, to revel in my spectacular purchasing prowess.

Also, we should probably get on the card thing. Peace out.

I need a dense dessert to keep my potty-mouth in check.

Editor, Regarding Christina Downey’s comments, what gives her the right to call anybody names? I wish people would repeat all of President Trump’s remarks. Telling someone to go back to their country, fix their problems, then come back and tell us how you did it. Finish the statement. Can you imagine what would have happened to all of us “racists” had we taken Obama’s statements out of context like they are President Trump’s?

I don’t like being called a racist, and to be honest, it’s getting tiring. It’s beginning to just be another word we shrug off because it has been used so much. Just look at the accomplishments (Trump) has made. Obama divided America, and Trump is trying to restore it. Unemployment is down, the economy is growing. I would say that anyone who votes for the other side is a socialist and agrees with the Antifa group. We are no more racist than you are, and after reading her article, she is more so. I’m surprised at Current as well. So, this “racist” is voting for Trump in 2020. Deal with it.

Healthy holidays — With so many yummy treats on hand during the holiday season, it’s hard to resist splurging. The result is the much-dreaded holiday weight gain. One way to minimize that is to budget your calorie intake much the same way you would budget vacation spending. Be selective and indulge in small portions of truly special dishes and desserts.

These are their favorite things

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Music Director Janna Hymes has no problem picking HOLIDAY her favorite holiday movie, “Holiday Inn” with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.

“I love that movie so much,” Hymes said. “The kids know it, and we watch it every year.

Hymes It’s so funny. The music is incredible.”

As far as favorite musicals, that’s a little harder for the Carmel resident to pin down. She regularly listens to Christmas albums by Doc Severinsen and Michael Bublé.

“I have a compilation CD with people on it like Natalie Cole, Idina Menzel and a lot of pop artists,” Hymes said. “Now with Echo, I can just say, ‘Play holiday music,’ and it plays great music. Last night, I just said, ‘Play holiday jazz.’ We just did our Holiday Pops concert, so I’m up on all that much. I love the holidays and being able to perform in the holidays. When everything kicks in and everyone is in the spirit, there is nothing like it.”

Unlike Hymes, Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder Don Farrell can’t pick just one holiday movie.

The holiday Farrell movies he loves for different reasons are “A Christmas Story,” “Christmas Vacation,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

His favorite Christmas musical is one ATI has presented in previous years, “A Year With Frog and Toad!”

“Some of my best Christmas memories are with that musical,” he said.

Farrell said “A Christmas Story: The Musical” has become a new favorite. Farrell is appearing in Beef & Boards’ production of the musical, which runs through Dec. 31.

“My favorite dish was what I thought my mother invented, the famous green bean casserole with Durkee onions on top,” he said. “I can’t believe I thought my mom invented that dish. Can’t have a holiday meal without it.”

The Westfield resident had several traditions growing up in Georgia.

“My favorite tradition in the past as a child was driving out with my dad

and two brothers to cut down a tree in the woods picking out what we would call our Charlie Brown Christmas tree, one that most likely no one would ever think would be suitable,” Farrell said. “Then baking and decorating gingerbread cookies with my mom and hanging them on the tree for my friends to pick one when they came over to play at my house.”

Farrell said another nice memory growing up was going caroling around his neighborhood and at the Children’s Hospital with friends.

“Always a feel-good way to get in the Christmas spirit,” Farrell said.

“Today, my go-to tradition for trees is at the Carmel United Methodist Church and purchase a live Christmas tree to support their CUMC youth work.”

HERE ARE SOME OTHER HOLIDAY PICKS: Cynthia Collins, Actors Theatre of Indiana co-founder, Carmel resident • Favorite holiday movies: “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

• Favorite holiday dish: “My Aunt Joan’s pecan pie, which I make now from her recipe.”

• Favorite Christmas song: Barbra Streisand’s version of “Sleigh Ride.”

Doug Stark, Beef & Boards owner, Zionsville resident • Favorite holiday movie: “We always watch ‘A Christmas Story’ on Christmas Eve. That’s part of a holiday tradition. We have a Christmas Eve pizza so that we don’t have to cook anything.”

• Favorite Christmas song: “White Christmas.”

Greg Sorvig, artistic director for Heartland Film, Carmel resident

• Favorite holiday movies: TV special of 1988’s “Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special.”

Movies are “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Christmas Vacation” and “Elf.” • Favorite Christmas music: From Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Spike Jones and Squirrel Nut Zippers.

• Favorite dish: “Passed-down (family) tradition is making lefse, a Norwegian potato flatbread made on a skillet, later rolled with butter and sugar.”

Nancy Keating, Art on Main co-owner, mosaics artist, Carmel resident • Favorite tradition: “Each Christmas Eve, my husband and I enjoy a quiet and peaceful dinner at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant in the Arts & Design District.”

The Killer Grilled Cheese combines Swiss, provolone, Monterey jack, mild cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar cheese with cherrywood smoked bacon. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Bier Brewery North Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 13720 N. Meridian St., Carmel What to get: Killer Grilled Cheese Price: $8.95 Anna’s take: Well, folks, by popular demand, At the Table with Anna has returned. For my first venture back into the dining world, I checked out Bier Brewery North because Patrick Mullen, formerly of Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks in Zionsville, recently partnered with Bier Brewery North to offer a food menu. If it’s your first time visiting, order the Killer Grilled Cheese. It’s a melty, delicious sandwich with Swiss, provolone, Monterey jack, mild cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar topped

with cherrywood smoked bacon. For something a little healthier, try the Crazy Veggie ($8.95), with black bean hummus, chopped olives, cucumber, tomato, carrot and shredded cheese on a baguette. Another popular item is the Verde-braised beef tacos ($11.95). It comes with three soft-shell tacos with sirloin braised overnight in a tomatillo-jalapeno sauce, topped with corn black bean salsa and a barbecue crema. For dessert, order the hummingbird cake, which has pineapple, bananas, cinnamon chips and cream cheese frosting ($4). Or try Love in a Bowl, a double-chocolate fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream ($6).

Suggested pairings: Bier Brewery North was kind enough to let me sample all the beers on the menu (they were all good, and I felt great).

The Citrasense IPA was my favorite.

It’s a good option for those looking to try IPAs because it has a milder finish than most. Get a pint for $5.95, or $4.50 on Wednesday nights.
