INFRASTRUCTURE

CAPITAL PROJECTS

“(Infrastructure) is one of the most important things that we can talk about today,” Dillinger said. “When I became a commissioner in 1989, we had a population around 80,000. Today, we’re close to (340,000). There are a lot of assets with that, and there are a lot of challenges with that, and infrastructure is one of the main challenges.”

IND. 37 “In my opinion, Hamilton County’s continued success, to some degree, depends on our connectivity to our city capitol of Indianapolis,” he said. “It’s been pretty well taken care of on the west side (U.S. 31). Carmel, a little before that, made Keystone a thoroughfare, much like what we’re going to do on (Ind. 37).”

The overhaul of Ind. 37 would completely rid the highway of stoplight intersections through Fishers, the first phase, and Noblesville, the second phase, running the highway underneath elevated, dog bone-style roundabouts at each cross street – 126th, 131st,

GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIAL CENTER EXPANSION Built to meet the needs of the county for 20 years, the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center at 1 Hamilton County Sq. in downtown Noblesville was completed in 1992.

“So, it’s 25 years old now, and we’re getting ready for a 132,000-square-foot expansion to the west at a cost of about $25 million,” Dillinger said.

The project will begin in May, with an estimated completion date of October 2019. The expansion will make it possible to move the offices of auditor, assessor, recorder and treasurer to the first floor of the building, which now are housed in the historic courthouse across Eighth Street. Dillinger said the second and third floors of the expansion will remain unfinished until there is a need for more courtrooms.

The Indiana House Public Health committee voted to increase the state’s smoking age from 18 to 21 durGOVERNMENT ing a Jan. 29 meeting.

“In a lot of cases, you don’t have youth standing for the very legislation that can affect us,” she said. “By youth getting involved in politics and for my peers to be able to see that, that’s going to get more people around my age to get involved in legislation that’s going to affect them.”

Clifford said adolescents do not understand the harmful effects of tobacco.

“Seeing how at this time right now kids don’t see the total effects of tobacco,” she said. “The youth are more focused on what they see in the moments and not future effects.”

Growing with heart

Local clinic now mobile

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since its founding in 2009, Heart and Soul Clinic has grown every year. This spring, the free clinic COVER STORY for the uninsured and underinsured will grow even more, this time in the form of providing mobile service.

Heart and Soul Clinic recently purchased a $44,000 RV to create the first traveling clinic of its kind in Hamilton County. The idea came about when clinic officials visited local food banks to educate patients on the nonprofit’s outreach, only to find that many patients have no transportation to the Westfield clinic.

“Some patients weren’t able to get here, so while we are willing to provide care to the at-risk population not able to receive medical and dental care due to lack of insurance, we found another roadblock to not being able to access care,” Heart and Soul Executive Director Danny Carroll said.

“We believe no one should be denied health care because of a lack of income or lack of insurance, but also because of a lack of

Heart and Soul Clinic will renovate the RV by removing the bed and adding an exam table.

transportation. So, to meet that need, we decided let’s invest in a mobile unit to take medical (care) to places throughout Hamilton County.”

Carroll visited multiple RV parks and tried out approximately 70 RVs. Since patients’ privacy is involved, Heart and Soul Clinic needed an RV with a bedroom fully sectioned off from the rest of the vehicle.

Carroll found what he was looking for at Mount Comfort RV in Greenfield.

When Mount Comfort RV heard of the

need, it reduced the price by $6,000.

“They were very cooperative in wanting to help us to get this unit,” Clinic Board President Joann Edwards said.

The 2006 Fleetwood Pace Arrow is 38 feet long. The clinic will renovate its interior. Renovations will include removing the bed and adding an exam table.

In November 2017, Heart and Soul Clinic held an inaugural bingo night. The event raised $15,000 for the RV. The clinic took out a loan for the remaining cost. Donations are being accepted to help pay off the loan.

Also, as a result of the bingo night, a business suite was donated to Heart and Soul Clinic to provide a larger facility.

Patient numbers have nearly doubled at Heart and Soul Clinic since its founding. The current location, 202 Penn St., has an operating space of approximately 1,200 square feet. The new location, 17338 Westfield Park Rd., Suite 1, is nearly double that. The larger space will allow for a third exam room and more office space.

“One thing about the space we are moving to is, it is a professional atmosphere,” said Edwards, noting the current facility

is a former house. “This is a home, and it served us very well, but as we move forward, I think that a professional space not only will serve the patients but also attract more professional volunteers.”

The clinic is hosting packing and moving days in March. For more, to donate or to volunteer, visit heartandsoulclinic.org.

MORE TO COME Heart and Soul Clinic was founded in 2009 and added a dental clinic in 2016.

In March, the clinic will move to a new, larger location in Westfield. It also will renovate its traveling clinic.

Moreover, the clinic has plans for even more growth next year.

“We want to establish a new program here,” Heart and Soul Clinic Executive Director Danny Carroll said. “We have a free medical clinic and a free dental clinic, so we want to offer a free mental health clinic. That (new) space will provide us the opportunity to do group activities and individual one-on-one therapies.”

Volunteering as couples

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Volunteering together may be an unorthodox way to celebrate a relationship around Valentine’s Day, GIVING BACK but Fishers couple Jim and Maddie Bromley and Noblesville couple Dale and Jean Morris say the act of giving back has not only strengthened their relationships, but also given them something to do in retirement.

Both couples spend time volunteering at Conner Prairie, an interactive history museum at 13400 Allisonville Rd., Fishers.

The Morrises help with special events. The Bromleys began their time at Conner Prairie through gardening.

“It’s nice to go together. We don’t always volunteer together, but we both do things separately at Conner Prairie,” Jean said.

“But if we volunteer for Symphony on the Prairie or special events, we usually go together. It is fun, and we get to know the same people that way and build relationships with people there.”

The Morrises began to volunteer at Conner Prairie approximately five years ago when they both retired.

The Bromleys have a similar story. When

they reached retirement, they began searching for something to do. Tending to the museum’s gardens on Mondays, when the museum is closed, sparked their interest.

“We went to a volunteer fair, and gardening is something we both do, and that’s how we started volunteering,” Maddie said.

The Bromleys also volunteer for Conner Prairie’s special events like Symphony on the Prairie or the Follow the North Star production.

“We enjoy doing this together. It’s always fun,” Jim said.

“It’s something we are able to do and enjoy, and it just so happens we do it together, and that’s an added bonus,” Maddie said.

Doing the doing

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Folks learning to speak English as their second language are known to complain about our propensity for homonym. Can we blame them?

Take the word proof. Among the abundance of potential meanings, online dictionaries define it as evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement; as able to withstand something damaging; resistant; and, interestingly, to make fabric waterproof.

OK, maybe these definitions hang together.

But also proofing yeast (as opposed to proofing the shaped bread dough) refers to the process of first dissolving yeast in warm water to make bread.

Then, we warp the definitions to conform with our evolving modern lexicon. We attempt to prove our worth. We strive to prove our love. Yet, can we hope to advance evidence of our value? Can we make someone see our contribution? Or, do we waste our time talking about the doing instead of, well, doing the doing?

For now, let’s defer the semantics to a superior expert and focus on a simple example. We spend billions of dollars annually on attempting to prove we are sexy.

The ubiquitous commercials aimed at teenage boys for Axe Body Spray seem to wink at this reality, all the while selling tanker trucks of product to help these youngsters prove their worth.

The question remains: Can we prove any personal characteristic to anybody? Can we generate sufficient evidence to show that we are sexy? If we attended to our actions as much as we do to those actions being noticed, would we accomplish more?

We have gone digital – sort of Commentary by Melkote Ramaswamy For a long time, we lived in an analog world. The world is now changing to digital.

OPINION In simple terms, analog implies continuous while digital stands for discrete or in steps.

For a long time, analog watches with moving hands were the most popular and perhaps the norm. Along came digital with the appeal and convenience of easy and instant readout, not having to figure out where the clock hands are.

Some watchmakers tried to create the best of both worlds by combining analog and digital. The artistic nature of analog watches seems to give them a distinct edge. As a matter of fact, if you were to look at the selection of watches on display in a department store, one is amazed at the preponderance of analog

watches – it is considered a piece of jewelry.

Analog is where you have dials and knobs and digital is when you see switches. Our house is sort of hybrid.

Our television set is digital along with remote. So, too, is our microwave.

You might still see some microwaves in motel rooms which still have a knob for time setting and having a ring instead of a beep. Our weighing machine is digital but not all of our clocks. We still have analog clocks. These serve two purposes: They brighten the place as a wall decoration, but more importantly we can depend on them in case of power failure.

Melkote Ramaswamy, a Westfield resident, is a physicist, writer, speaker and author of “An Immigrant celebrates America” (University of Indianapolis Press, 2007.)

What a difference a good night’s sleep makes! I just rolled out of bed after a solid 11 hours of slumber. “Kids, it’s HUMOR safe to come out of your rooms! Mommy’s OK now!”

It’d literally been days since I’d been able to make that statement because a string of late evenings, 3 a.m. interruptions and early mornings have had my patience ready to commit hari-kari and my family ready to hit the Our Lady of Perpetual Peace speed dial.

My body simply refuses to function properly when I don’t get at least eight quality hours. Headaches, nausea and an acute sense of pettiness envelop me until I can find a dark, quiet place to lie down. Sure, I can fake it and continue on about my business as if nothing is wrong, but inside I am judging my husband, children and complete strangers for their inequities and blaming everyone for my misery. And I can’t hold all that crazy in forever, so inevitably by evening I’m passive-aggressively trying to garner support and sympathy through childish rants. Though theatrically impressive, it’s really quite pathetic.

Of course, I’ve known how important sleep is for years, but it wasn’t until recently that Doo understood. He attended a conference on how people can be happier in the digital age and learned that, although volunteering, exercising and building relationships are key, the No. 1 thing a person can do is sleep. Ah-ha! Validation at last!

This past week, sleep deprivation reared its ugly head, pushing me to the brink of an emotional and physical breakdown. But I’m back now. What a difference a good night’s sleep makes! Peace out.

Chewing the fat on science Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

SO

LD

They just reported on the local evening news that Indiana is the 10th-fattest state in the U.S. Where did they do HUMOR their research? The state fair?

The mini-marathon? That could make a big difference.

I have made fun of scientific researchers for their fascination with bizarre and meaningless numbers. These are individuals who, statistically speaking, are among the unhappiest people in the world. About 75 percent of the studies show that 57 percent of statisticians are 49 percent unhappier than 75 percent of all other scientists.

Here are a few odd stats: Redheads need 25 percent more novocaine in the dental chair than people with other hair colors; 67 percent of men prefer gas to charcoal grills; pet owners wake up 45 percent more often in the middle of the night.

According to the University of Illinois, overweight people use more gas per mile than people who are thin. This information helps Americans understand the crisis we face with our dependence on foreign oil.

Seems to me that the real crisis is more in domestic oil, canola, peanut and corn, all

of which can take a simple potato and turn it into a cholesterol catastrophe called a French fry.

Imagine telling someone who orders a Big Mac, large fries and a Coke for lunch that if he would just switch to a salad with no dressing every day for a month, he could get an extra mile per gallon. Oprah didn’t really care how she looked on the cover of O,but she lost weight to save 34 bucks a year on gas.

The other day my Speedy Rewards Card indicated I was eligible for a free chocolate doughnut, an egg-and-cheese sandwich and a jumbo fountain drink. Did they mention that by consuming these, I was going to end up spending more for fuel? We should not be proud of being the 10th-heaviest state, but I try to look at the positive side of things.

Last year I had the occasion to drive from one end of Kansas to the other. I don’t care what the scientists say about overweight Indiana, Kansas is wider across the middle.

HEALTH DISPATCHES Blood urgently needed — Blood supplies at the Indiana Blood Bank are dangerously low. Currently, it has only have a one-day supply on hand. Locations and hours are available on the website at indianablood.org/locations.

Better way to take meds — Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first.

Source: The Alternative Advisor New blood-cancer treatment — A type of blood-cancer treatment that has shown remarkable success in clinical trials is beginning to receive FDA approvals. In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system. The T-cells are reprogrammed to kill tumor cells and then infused back into the patient. This appears to be most effective with certain types of blood cancers.

Doctor highlights heart health

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com February is Heart Health Month, and Dr. Emily Ruden has created some initiatives to educate women on PREVENTION preventative methods for heart disease.

Ruden, a cardiologist who runs the Women’s Heart Clinic at Hamilton Heart in Noblesville, offers a prevention clinic for women.

Women’s Heart Clinic is Ruden affiliated with Riverview Health.

“Women’s Heart Month is a campaign that’s been around for a while now to get the word out,” Ruden said. “Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women and tends to be a silent disease until it’s not. Women are typically the last to take care of themselves. They take care of everyone else and don’t think about their risk and health until everyone else is taken care of.”

Ruden said common risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. To help prevent heart disease, she said the most important thing is to quit

Armando Ascencion was considering pursuing a career in accounting.

However, the entreLEADERSHIP preneurial spirit struck the Mexican-American, who now owns his own Office Pride franchise, primarily serving Carmel, Westfield and Fishers.

While at Ivy Tech, Ascencion, who moved with his family from Mexico to Indianapolis when he was 3 years old, started selling advertising for a Spanish newspaper.

The 26-year-old North Central High School graduate began working for Office Pride, a commercial cleaning operation which specializes in commercial work, while at Ivy Tech.

“The owner had some smaller accounts but then purchased more accounts,” Ascencion said. “I was 18 years old when I started, and six months later I was promoted to supervisor. We had 25 employees.

After a year and a half, I was promoted to general manager. He had purchased accounts from another franchise owner and we were up to 80 employees.”

Ascencion credits his former boss, Scott

“I wouldn’t be here if weren’t for him,” Ascencion said.

In 2016, he was Office Pride Employee of the Year at the national convention.

In August 2017, Ascencion purchased his franchise. He plans to move from the south side of Indianapolis to the north side early in 2018.

CSO to feature ‘Love Letter’ to violinist

By Zach Dunkin • zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com One might describe their romantic connection as “love at first note.”

“It kind of was,” violinist Tessa Lark said of her MUSIC relationship with composer-musician Michael Thurber. “I mean, I had met him before as alumni of NPR’s ‘From the Top,’ and we had mutual close friends for years and knew about each other’s works. We don’t really believe in love at

first sight, but when we sat beside each other at a board meeting, we liked what each other said.”

They soon fell in love.

Attendees at Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s Feb. 10 concert at The Palladium will hear and feel just how much in love these two music-types are. Lark will join the CSO in the world premiere of a composition called “Love Letter,” composed by, yes, boyfriend Thurber.

“I was so impressed with Michael’s writing that I asked him to write a concerto for me,” said Lark, the silver medalist in the ninth Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in 2014. “There was a lot of back-and-forth during the writing process. We wanted something with a lot of my different styles in it and written in kind of ‘letter movements.’”

“Love Letter” consists of four movements and embodies Thurber’s admiration for Lark as both a musician and human being.

“Each movement is a tone poem that depicts different sides of Tessa’s personality and musicianship,” said Thurber, a double bassist who occasionally plays with Lark as a duet, playing a blend of bluegrass, jazz and classical.

“I didn’t know until the end that it was called ‘Love Letter,’” said Lark, a native of Richmond, Ky. “When it was finished he slipped the score under my door and with the words ‘I love you.’ It was an unbelievable gift, and it means everything to me to be able to play it.”

Although Lark has played two movements of the piece in public, this will be the official world premiere. Thurber, a native of Ogden Dunes in Northern Indiana, will not only be in attendance for his girlfriend’s performance, but will work with the CSO during rehearsals since the piece is so new “Michael has never heard it with a full orchestra, so he’s excited about it,” Lark said. “I think everyone will love it. And if the crowd claps really loud for it, there may be a special guest appearance. Hint, hint.”

Continuing the love theme in recognition of Valentine’s Day Feb. 14, the CSO also will perform familiar melodies of Gershwin and Bernstein, such as the Gershwin Brothers’ hit “Girl Crazy,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not for Me” and “I Got Rhythm,” and Bernstein’s “Three Dance Episodes” from “On the Town.” Following intermission, the CSO will perform Charles Ives’ “Variations on America,” and Howard Hanson’s “Symphony No. 2 in D-flat Major, Op. 30 Romantic.”

Art patrons support Magic Thread Cabaret editorial@youarecurrent.com The Magic Thread Cabaret recently received a $10,000 donation from art patrons Marianne Glick and her husband Mike Woods. The Magic Thread Cabaret recently announced it has been a resident company of The Cat Theatre in Carmel.

The sponsorship will assist Klein & Alvarez Productions LLC with its mission to bring talented artists to the 120-seat venue at 254 Veterans Way. Glick said she and Woods, CEO and owner of M.S. Woods Real Estate, love cabaret as an art form.

“The artist chooses particular songs to tell a story that’s personal to them,” Glick stated in a news release. “So, you get to know the artist in a deeper way and enjoy great music at the same time. One of the things that we like about the Magic Thread Cabaret is the focus on Indiana performers.

Supporting local artists is important to us.”

Glick, who is an artist, is the retired president and founder of Glick Training Associates.

Gallery features local artist

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Michael Janosky has been an artist for as long as he can remember. After reading articles about art, watching art ART documentaries and drawing as a child, he found his passion for oil painting in high school.

Now, Janosky primarily paints landscapes in his studio at Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville.

“I really enjoy looking Janosky for changes in the landscape through the seasons, and also at different times of day and under different skies and different types of clouds in the sky,” he said.

Janosky’s work will be on display with that of Kathryn Houghton in an exhibit at the Hoosier Salon Carmel Gallery, 22 N. Range Line Rd. The exhibit, “Near and Afar: A Matter of Perspective,” will begin at 5 p.m.

Feb. 10 with an opening reception and will run through February.

Janosky said his paintings show subjects from a distance while Houghton’s fo-

cus more on close-ups, which inspired the theme of the show.

“I’m really excited to have this opportunity,” he said. “This will be the biggest exhibit I’ve been part of in my career at this point, so it’s an exciting opportunity.”

Janosky is creating two large-scale paintings for the exhibit and showcasing more than 20 other pieces, all of which will be for sale. Many of his paintings feature beaches, dunes and lighthouses inspired by his hometown of Michigan City with its views of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

How to properly get lit Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Anne-Marie Briscoe

Catherine Michael

Thomas Blessing

Ashley Roncevic

I’m a lamp guy. I love lamps. They serve a functional purpose and provide beauty in a room. So when I GRAMMAR GUY see a great lamp at an antique store or at an upscale garage sale, you’d better believe I’m going to buy it, put it in the back seat and put a seat belt on it.

But the real question is, once I find the right spot in my living room for my new lamp, does it make the area well lit or well lighted? What is the difference between lit and lighted? Grammar Guy’s on the case.

The super-short answer is both lit and lighted are correct past tense forms of light. Technically, lit is considered an irregular verb because you have to change the spelling of light to make it past tense, whereas lighted is regular because you simply add -ed. Although through the years lit has gained popularity in common usage, there are some distinct ways each word usually gets used.

Lit is usually used as the simple, past tense verb of light. It means to illuminate or set on fire. The cake’s lit candles inadvertently set aunt Helen’s hair on fire. Or

this: The fireflies’ pleasantly blinking butt muscles lit the dark forest clearing.

Lighted can either be used as an adjective or a past tense verb. When lighted is used as an adjective, it means something like relating to being illuminated: The brightly lighted living room shone brilliantly thanks to dad’s new leg lamp. Or this: The glow of my lighted torch allowed us to see in the secret cave.

As a past tense verb, lighted should be used as the past participle of light. As a reminder, a past participle verb usually requires an auxiliary word in front of it, like had or have: We had already lighted our glow sticks by the time the dance party got into full swing.

Although technically lit and lighted are interchangeable (and therefore correct), in popular usage, lit is more commonly used in the simple past tense while lighted is more commonly used as a past participle verb.

False Bay at Muizenberg, South Africa. (Photo by Don Knebel)

South Africa’s true False Bay Commentary by Don Knebel

remains a quaint fishing village, with an active harbor. Muizenberg is famous for its waves, providing some of the best surfing opportunities in the world for beginners.

On their way to or from Cape Town, visitors to False Bay often stop in Stellenbosch, a Dutch town founded in 1679 and renowned for its world-class wineries at the foot of Stellenbosch Mountain.

A visit to Cape Town, a beautiful and sophisticated city, should be on everyone’s bucket list. A visit there is not complete without at least a day trip to False Bay.

Whatever is your current image of South Africa, it will be changed by a visit to False Bay, ironically the largest true bay in the nation and one of the largest TRAVEL in the world.

In the 17th century, Portuguese ships returning home from the East Indies stopped for supplies in Cape Town, located on Table Bay on the western side of the Cape Peninsula at the southern tip of Africa. The returning ships often mistook a rocky cape to the east of the Cape Peninsula as the point to turn north and found Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornthemselves in a gently curving bay almost burg LLP.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car.

It was a heart attack.”

– dave r.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
