Study generates collaboration Commentary by Scott Salsbery The Central Indiana Water Study, funded by the Indiana Finance Authority, was conducted to assess the RESOURCES future demand and availability of Central Indiana’s water resources and propose solutions for water supply issues facing the region.

Water conservation is crucial The heavy use of water to keep lawns green during the late summer months poses a challenge to water supplies and affordability. Improving how and when we water lawns is critical to safeguarding our communities’ reliable access to water.

Continued and additional monitoring

In central Indiana, our water utilities have already begun meeting on a regular basis to address common issues. This level of communication should continue to include real-time water use and returns, short-term forecasts, coordinated drought response and more.

More and better data is needed to ensure we can accurately monitor availability and react to threats and challenges. Expanding our stream monitoring network, regulating additional reporting for major water users and defining instream flows are all critical.

Invest in increasing water availability

If the region is to continue to attract new business, it is critical that we understand how to best use water resources. Water is our most important asset.

Addressing future demand requires careful management and investment in new and existing supply resources. A combination of strategies is needed to ensure adequate supply, including new groundwater and surface water production facilities, increased surface water storage in near-river quarries, seasonal management of wellfields based on their location and water exchange

Hamilton County Parks and Recreation seeks community input for five-year master plan

By Jillian Kurtz news@currentnoblesville.com The Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. held a community Zoom webinar Dec. 14 seeking pubGROWTH lic input for its five-year master plan.

Director of Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Chris Stice presided over the meeting and introStice duced Zec Eight Insights Principal Austin Hochstetler, who led the virtual presentation.

Approximately 30 people attended the meeting.

The parks department partnered with Zec Eight Insights, a consulting firm, to help develop the master plan. Zec Eight Insights aims to “strengthen parks and recreation agencies’ ability to make well-informed operational decisions,” according to its website at zeceightinsights.com.

Using the SWOT, or strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, strategy, Zec Eight Insights has analyzed trends in Hamilton County, such as projected population growth, and studied age demographics.

Through its findings, it will customize a master plan to fit the needs of the county.

After the 40-minute presentation, Hochstetler polled webinar attendees. Questions

ranged from one’s average use of county park systems to visions for future developments and what types of resources they’d like to see within the spaces.

An online Survey Monkey poll will soon be available to the public, according to Hochstetler.

Some attendees expressed concern about a specific area of land east of U.S. 31, north of Ind. 38, west of Hinkle Road and south of 216th Street. They Hochstetler asked about the department’s willingness to listen to the needs of the community because they want to make the area a preserve or protected space.

“It is currently zoned Rural Residential, but a developer is putting significant pressure on the City of Westfield to convert it to Industrial,” attendee James Hogan said in the chat. “We are adamant that the land re-

mains Rural Residential and/or be converted to park land. How can HCPR help preserve this land as Agricultural/Rural Residential/ Recreational?”

Hochstetler said the purpose of the webinars was to consider and factor in input from the public.

Use and accessibility of White River in Hamilton County also was discussed during the webinar.

“A lot of communities across the country are almost trying to reclaim the water resources they have in their communities,” Hochstetler said. “For such a long time, they were kind of seen as afterthoughts, but now as development spurs, we are asking, ‘How do we take back and leverage our water recreation resources?”

Social worker finds Citizens Police Academy beneficial

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Rebecca Cola wanted to get a better understanding of what police officers deal with on a daily basis.

As a social worker, she had heard PUBLIC SAFETY discussions of social workers taking the place of police officers in some areas, and she didn’t see how that could work.

After witnessing an incident when a police officer responded to a domestic dispute on the street, she was impressed by the officer’s quick response and how he put himself at risk.

So, Cola decided to participate in the Noblesville Police Dept. Citizens Police Academy.

“It’s always helpful for social workers to gain understanding of the bigger picture,” Cola said.

Cola, a Noblesville resident, is a social worker for The Salvation Army. She is the regional coordinator for Pathway of Hope. Pathway of Hope is the long-term case management organization for families provided by The Salvation Army at 33 field sites in Indiana.

“I travel the state of Indiana supporting the case managers and enrolled families in strength-based counseling, goal setting and working toward breaking intergenerational poverty,” Cola said.

Cola took the program in the fall. The next 12-week program runs from Feb. 9 to April 20. Classes are held every

Wednesday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

NPD Lt. Bruce Barnes said the purpose of the Citizens Police Academy is to familiarize citizens with the operations of the police department. It includes classes on patrol procedures, criminal law, narcotics, search and seizure, tactical operations, investigations, juvenile law, firearms demonstrations, emergency vehicle operations, use of force issues and police canine demonstrations. Barnes said par-

ticipants also have the option to ride with a patrol officer and witness street activity officers encounter daily.

Barnes said the feedback from the community has been exceptional.

“When the program first launched in the fall of 2013, we received such an overwhelming amount of interest that we were booked two years out,” Barnes said. “Most attendees describe the experience as educational, eye-opening and in-depth.”

Class size is limited to 15. Participants have to live or work in Noblesville and must be at least 16 years old.

“It was fun,” Cola said of the classes. “They have a binder which shows the agenda. So, you knew ahead of time what the plan is for each class.”

Cola said the class provided opportunities to ask questions.

“The patrol division was talking about police chases, and there was one around that time,” Cola said. “They wanted to get feedback from the participants, ‘What did we think about it?’ It was very interactive. They were listening to us as much as we were listening to them. We talked about neighborhood watches, and visiting the jail was amazing.”

Cola said she has a tremendous appreciation for law enforcement as her brother is a federal law enforcement officer for Homeland Security.

“It was fun for us to talk shop,” Cola said.

Runner Mathison overcomes frustrations for a solid finish

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel High School junior Kole Mathison concluded his frustrating cross country season on a strong note.

“To be honest, I didn’t feel like I was in peak shape,” Mathison said. “I had been struggling with sickness and injury all season and never got consistent training.

But I didn’t let that affect my mentality going into the big races. I was going to give it my best, and no matter what that meant when I crossed the finish line, I was going to be content.”

Mathison placed fifth at the Dec. 11 Eastbay (formerly Foot Locker) Cross Country Nationals in San Diego. He was the top junior in the race, finishing in 15 minutes, 22.3 seconds. He was eighth Nov. 27 in the Eastbay Midwest Region Championships in Kenosha, Wis. He had set the Indiana high school 5,000-meter record with a ninthplace finish in the RunningLane nationals Dec. 4 in 14:23.2 in Huntsville, Ala. “When he’s healthy and able to train, there are not a whole lot of people in the country like him,” Carmel boys cross coun-

Mathison finished fourth in the Oct. 30 IHSAA state cross country meet in 15:37.2 in muddy conditions in Terre Haute. He had just taken the lead when he fell around the

2-mile mark.

“That really cost him,” Altevogt said. “He just got cut up. Someone kicked him in the head accidentally. He said he made some tactical mistakes because he fell.”

Although it only took him two to three seconds to get up, Altevogt said Mathison believed he tried to catch up too quickly.

Mathison was third in the state cross country meet as a sophomore and 11th as a freshman.

“We’re looking forward to the track and field season to see what he can do when fully healthy,” Altevogt said.

In the boys state track and field meet in June at Ben Davis High School, Mathison finished second in the 3,200-meter run and second in the 3,200 relay.

“I started running in the fourth grade but didn’t really get into it until sixth grade,” Mathison said. “I’m passionate about running because it’s the gift God gave me, and I want to use it to glorify him.”

Mathison said he likes the 5,000- and 3,200-meter races equally.

Mathison hasn’t received any college offers yet, but several college coaches have been in contact.

Noblesville mayor outlines projects for 2022

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen has declared that 2022 will be a year of action.

“2020 was a year of vision,” said Jensen, who took office in 2020. “2021 was much more a year of planning and preparedness. I think the fruits of our labor are really going to show themselves in 2022.”

RESIDENTIAL The multi-family residential landscape of downtown Noblesville will change in 2022.

The Nexus development, a mixed-use development on the land previously housing the old Marsh building at Ind. 32 and River Road, will open in winter 2022. The development will feature mostly multi-family residential units, although there is a commercial outlot building. Nexus consists of 287 multi-family units.

Lofts on 10th will be complete by summer 2022 and have 23 units.

“When people think of some mixed-use in our downtown is when we start to get compared to other communities, but Lofts on 10th is a great example of, ‘No, we are going to do it in a very micro way,’” Jensen said.

Construction is set to begin on the East Bank development near the White River in downtown Noblesville in 2022. J.C. Hart is developing the mixed-use property, which will consist of 219 multi-family units and 5,000 square feet of commercial space.

Construction also will soon begin at the Village at Federal Hill, a mixed-use development west of Federal Hill Commons. Old Town Companies is developing the project, which will include 163 residential units, a city-owned parking garage with 430 parking spaces and a commercial component.

“We will own a majority of those spaces,” Jensen said of the parking garage. “Obviously, Old Town Design Group will rent spaces for their residents, but the majority of that parking structure will be used for public parking.”

Although all the details aren’t worked out, Jensen said the Village at Federal Hill parking garage will be similar to the Levinson parking garage, where the first four hours are free. The cost is $2 per hour after four hours.

A rendering of the Nexus development northwest of River Road and Ind. 32.

Per the Village at Federal Hill commercial component, Jensen said the project will have a standalone building that will house Nickel Plate Arts and a cultural center. There also will be commercial components inside the mixed-use building.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT One of the city’s largest economic development projects set to open next year is Washington Business Park, which spans 75 acres east of Ind. 37 and north of 146th Street. The park includes 11 parcels for businesses.

“All of our focus has been on medical

technology, life sciences and advanced manufacturing, which are central Indiana’s three hotspots,” Jensen said. “Those will be a major focus for us in that area.”

Construction on Innovation Mile is set to begin in late 2022. Innovation Mile is a 1-mile-long, master-planned business district along 141st Street between Olio Road and Prairie Baptist Road. The development will encompass 200 acres and include commercial space for innovative companies.

Equicor, a nationally recognized real estate development and investment firm based in Carmel, recently announced it would construct three spec buildings in Nobles-

ville’s corporate campus at Olio Road and 146th Street. Two of the buildings, totaling 500,000 square feet, will be constructed at the southwest corner of Olio Road and 146th Street. A 115,000-square-foot building will be constructed in the Saxony Corporate Campus in southeast Noblesville near Interstate 69. Construction is expected to begin in mid-2022.

“Our goal in 2021 and 2022 was to make sure we had land available and developed for those companies ready to land here now,” Jensen said.

ROADS Perhaps the most anticipated 2022 project is the first phase of the $113 million Pleasant Street. The City of Noblesville will contribute $98 million to the project, with Hamilton County contributing $15 million.

The city will break ground on the project in the third or fourth quarter of 2022.

Phase 1 will consist of constructing the road from 10th Street west to River Road.

“Phase 1 will accomplish the goal we are looking for, and that’s getting across the river,” Jensen said. “In 2023, we will go to Continued on Page 11

BRIDGE OF FLOWERS

Continued from Page 10 construction bidding of Phase 2 and Phase 3 simultaneously.”

Phase 1 is expected to be complete in 2024.

Phases 2 and 3 are expected to be complete by the end of 2025. When complete, the road will bypass Noblesville’s downtown from Hague Road to 19th Street.

Jensen said the community began talking about a Pleasant Street bypass as early as the late 1980s.

“The biggest shock people have realized is, we are actually doing it,” Jensen said. “We are kneedeep in property right-of -way purchasing right now.”

Because much of the project is new roadway, Jensen said construction is unlikely to negatively affect downtown traffic flow.

Besides Pleasant Street, other road projects in 2022 include construction on a roundabout on Ind. 38 near the Whitcomb Ridge residential development; completed construction on the new roundabout at Ind. 32 and Ind. 38; a new roundabout at Boden Road and 156th Street; and construction of the south Allisonville Road Trail from Wellington Parkway to Christian Avenue.

Construction of a private philanthropy project by the Gordon family and the City of Noblesville also will begin in 2022. The Bridge of Flowers will provide a focal point for downtown on the new Logan Street bridge.

“It’s a way we are going to activate the new pedestrian bridge over Logan Street,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “It’s going to include lighting, irrigation, plants, benches and pergolas all on that pedestrian bump out on the Logan Street bridge. It’s going to be a great place to come take pictures or enjoy the river.

The pedestrian walkway was a huge investment from the city and county, but it’s just a big chunk of concrete. This is the next phase of the project.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Cashing in too soon?

Not a nutty fruitcake declaration

Commentary by Terry Anker For most of us working stiffs, the space between Christmas and New Year’s Day gives a bit of respite. Many companies slow down. Some even pay for a few days at home. And schools, some government offices and others lock up for the entire week or more. We settle in, sleep later, eat extra and, if we are lucky, think less about our many toils. We find ourselves reconnecting with loved ones and dedicating the afternoon to watching every episode of “I Love Lucy” on TV Land.

Still, there are scores of others not quite so lucky. Public safety, health care and retail see no break. In many cases, they are busier during the holidays than otherwise. The more lax days are lost to these good folks. Most take it all in good stride, having come to understand the cycle of the business and accept that days off will come later.

Today, the United States is experiencing its largest-ever intentional withdrawal of experienced humans from the workforce. Bolstered by strong markets and fleeing from a litany of modern workplace concerns, many — barely past middle-age — are staying home for good.

But with life expectancies for many continuing to rise, how long can we expect to enjoy permanent Christmas break?

Is 20 years too long? Thirty or 35? There is no allegation of sloth here. No doubt many will find much to occupy the days.

But what drives the decision?

Have we become so fatigued day in and day out that we’ll do anything to stop being re-tired – including retiring?

Once we’ve slept in, binge-watched TV and visited relatives, do we reconnect with something that looks like a work cadence or simply embrace the unincumbered lifestyle? Will our savings last? Will boredom overwhelm? Someday, it will be fun to find out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

I’ll admit, I often succumb to the seductive literary lure of hyperbole. But not today, folks. Today, I write with absolute truth and no exaggeration whatsoever. Are you ready? Holiday fruitcake is the best freaking dessert on the planet. Fight me.

And stop rolling your eyes. You’ve probably just not had the right sort of fruitcake. My dad was from North Yorkshire, and his mother had a recipe that was who knows how old. Now, my mom continues this grand British tradition of boozy deliciousness. She prepares the cakes each Thanksgiving, combining candied cherries, pineapples and orange and lemon peels with black and golden currants and something called treacle (which I think is like a blond molasses that tastes way better). After baking, she’ll soak the dense loaves in Kentucky bourbon for one month, cover them in marzipan and royal icing, and then deliver unto me a gateau that has been born out of love and liquor.

And when I say “me,” I mean “me.”

Since my father passed away, there remain only two of us in the entire family of 28 who eat it. Not surprisingly, I suppose, my partner in culinary appreciation is my English brother-in-law, so basically, he and I each get a 10-pound, 80-proof confectionary goliath, sure to cause hyperglycemia and the occasional hangover.

I love it. Like an Advent calendar treat, I celebrate the Christmas season with a little chunk of this heavenly creation each night before bed, and sometimes in the morning for breakfast and twice now for my entire dinner. No hyperbole here.

Fruitcake is the greatest dessert ever.

Peace out.

DISPATCHES Video game stock growth — The video game industry is booming. The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Also, there has been tremendous growth in games played by multiple players over the Internet, such as Fortnite, in which 100 players fight against one another for survival. And rather than buying individual games in stores such as GameStop, players are paying fees for monthly subscriptions to online services that allow them to stream or download games. Two subscription services, Apple Arcade and Google Stadia, were launched last year, but they’ve had lukewarm results, partly because of competition from free online video game providers such as Epic Games, the privately. Epic made more than a billion dollars in 2019 by selling optional virtual accessories such as character outfits. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Their stocks can benefit no matter what platform gamers choose to play on or what business

Riverview Health nurse’s care earns honor

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health registered nurse Sara Blalock didn’t know what to expect when she was asked to atACHIEVEMENT tend a recent meeting.

She assumed she was going to receive a pin for being nominated for a DAISY Award.

But she was surprised to learn she was the DAISY Award recipient for the quarter.

The DAISY Award honors nurses who go above and beyond in their line of work. They can be nominated by anyone who recognizes their dedication and hard work. An internal committee that includes the chief nursing officer and other members of the leadership team choose a winner among all the submissions. A Noblesville resident, Blalock was nominated by a former patient who only spent a few days in her care but was impacted by her kindness and compassion.

“It was a huge honor,” Blalock said. “I

especially loved the letter the patient sent.

It was very heartfelt. That night I remembered which patient it was. She told me she appreciated my help. It was nice standing in the foyer of the hospital with the director of nursing and the CEO and they are reading this letter out loud with the patient saying how I made them feel so much be better.

She said the next time a doctor saw her, they said she looked like a completely different patient. She attributed it to the care she received while she was at Riverview.

“She said nurses like me helped her through it. Feedback like that from patients make it all worth it.”

Blalock, who is part of the medical/surgical team, has been a registered nurse since 2015.

“It’s wonderful to walk into a patient’s room and make them smile when they are not feeling good,” Blalock said.

Prior to becoming a registered nurse, Blalock was a certified nursing assistant.

Actor eager to reprise role of salon owner in ‘Shear Madness’ at Beef & Boards

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Daniel Klingler was presented the chance to reprise his role of Tony Whitcomb in “Shear Madness” THEATER at Beef & Boards Dinner Theater, he embraced the opportunity.

Klingler appeared in the 2017 show of the “whodunit” play with audience participation to determine the killer in the murder mystery. The play runs from Dec. 28 to Feb. 5, 2022, at the Indianapolis theater. “‘Shear Madness’ is, by far, the most fun I have had in a production,” Klingler said.

“It is non-stop madcap comedy where the audience gets to be involved in interrogating the suspects and ultimately voting on the murderer. Every performance is different from the one before, which, as an actor, keeps you on your toes. I think that’s why all of the original actors returned. We have so much fun, work extremely well together and trust one another. ‘Shear Madness’ is one of the only shows I felt I could perform for a long time without getting bored.”

Klingler said he loves the role of Whitcomb, the salon owner.

“Tony has a strong sense of humor, is vivacious and sassy,” Klingler said. “He is one of my most favorite characters to portray. To bring him alive in the roller coaster that is ‘Shear Madness’ is thrilling.”

The setting for the murder mystery is wherever the show is being presented.

“We open the play up to the audience, requiring us to be on our feet at all times,” Klingler said. “Therefore, the nature of the production needs to appear organic and improvisational. I am blessed to be working alongside these dynamic actors. The last time I performed this piece I felt extremely secure because of the level of talent among our cast.”

Following the conclusion of “Shear Madness” in late January 2017, Klingler moved from Indianapolis to New York. He joined the hair/makeup union for TV, film and live

entertainment. He worked in the hair and makeup departments for the Broadway shows “Frozen,” “Mean Girls” and “Aladdin.”

In addition, he worked with the hair teams for several TV productions, including “The Blacklist,” “The Sinner,” “Pose” and “Elementary.”

“People may be surprised to learn one of my favorite gigs was selling wigs on QVC for HairUWear,” he said. “I loved watching The Home Shopping Channel and QVC when I was little, so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when they asked me to work with them.”

Klingler worked on “Aladdin” on Broadway for three years in the hair/makeup department.

“The cast and crew are some of the nicest people I have worked with in the theater,” he said. “I remember the first time I did the makeup for the Genie. His makeup transformation is about 10 minutes into the show and is a very quick transformation. We could not practice on the actual actor beforehand, so you had to learn in real time. The first time I applied his makeup was surreal. I thought to myself, “I’m applying the makeup on a Broadway star in a hit Broadway show. How did I get here?’

“Suffice it to say, I feel very blessed to have the opportunities I have had.”

Klingler was working on Broadway when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“In fact, we were prepping wigs for ‘Aladdin’ when the company manager announced we would need to pack up our things and leave for the unforeseeable future,” he said. “As the pandemic stretched on, I discussed with my husband if we wanted to stay in NYC. It was a difficult choice, but we made the decision to move to Dallas for my husband’s job. Since moving to Texas, I have been working on two TV Series, ‘1883,’ a sequel to ‘Yellowstone’ for Paramount, and (it) stars Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Sam Elliott, and the series ‘Love and Death,’ starring Elizabeth Olsen, for HBOMax.” Klingler played Edna Turnblad in Beef & Board’s 2019 production of “Hairspray.”

Klingler grew up in Columbus, Ind., and graduated from Columbus East High School.

“If anyone has been to Columbus, you will know it is a vibrant arts community,” he said. “I began performing when I was very young and cut my teeth with the MillRace Theatre Company.”

“We’ve learned that the Songbook Academy has a major impact on the participants, regardless of format, but needless to say, we’re very pleased to offer this year’s finalists the special camaraderie and sense of community that come from spending the week together in shared spaces,” stated Christopher Lewis, executive director of the Great American Songbook Foundation.

Only 40 students nationwide are selected annually to experience the rigorous schedule of workshops and master classes on topics such as vocal technique, vocal health, song interpretation, phrasing, stage presence, music history, business concerns and auditioning for college arts programs.

To be considered for the Songbook Academy, high school students living in the U.S. should submit videos with performances of two contrasting songs. The selections can include songs from the Broadway stage and the golden age of Hollywood as well as jazz standards from the 1920s to the 1960s. Submissions are evaluated by a panel of music educators and industry professionals who provide written feedback to every applicant.

The application deadline is March 15, 2022, with an early bird discount available through Feb. 15. Need-based scholarships, fee waivers and other financial aid opportunities are available.

Van Gogh exhibit proves inspiring Commentary by Randy Sorrell Raise your hand if you have been to an immersive Van Gogh art experience? Me, too! In fact, we’ve been VIEWPOINT to the Newfields exhibit and another in Chicago.

Newfields was far superior and packed with inspiring learning opportunities, hands-on displays and a period-sensitive lounge with incredibly yummy, flower-infused cocktails.

ART OR ENTERTAINMENT? Apparently, many art purists believe that these Van Gogh exhibitions are mere pop culture entertainment and not actually art.

Hmm. What’s your thought?

Vincent Van Gogh, the post-Impressionist painter in the late 1800s, is famous for his impasto painting style where expressively thick layers of paint are applied to the canvas, allowing brush strokes to be blatantly evident. This style creates texture, movement, accentuates light and is easy to imagine him actually applying.

If you are an art enthusiast or have been to one of Carmel’s International Art Festivals, local artist Randall Scott Harden is a familiar name. His frequent impasto style is

Experience the

“Impressionism, bordering on abstract”, as he describes it, full of color and thick, juicy paint layers ... predominantly oil and acrylic.

As with many of us, he was a fan of Bob Ross and has been painting since he was 10.

Harden, a Noblesville resident whose paintings can be found at Art on Main, is famous for his willingness to share techniques and offers crazy fantastic and approachable classes a few times a week in Carmel. This wildly cool dude has been to Paris several times and just returned from California, where he grows his already gifted plein air painting chops (rapidly painting outdoors to capture the changing light and colors).

Back to the Van Gogh Art experience. Art or entertainment? Or does it even matter?

Millions are discussing Vincent and art. And you get a small taste of his style from our artist, Randall Scott Harden.

Randy Sorrell, a Carmel artist, can be reached at 317-6792565, rsorrellart@gmail.com or rsorrellart.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Indianapolis home addition adds space Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1926, the owners of this Butler-Tarkington home wanted to create more space for their family. A bedroom addition was the perfect solution!

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The goal was to create more space with an addition that blended seamlessly into the existing architecture.

• The layout of the second floor was reworked, moving a secondary bedroom, and opening up the existing space for a larger laundry room and master closet.

• A cozy covered porch was created below the second story addition and features beautiful composite decking and aluminum railings.

• A new concrete patio completed the transformation.
