Mayors share stage, views

Dispatches Holiday edition – Current will be delivered May 28 instead of May 31 as a result of the Memorial Day postal holiday.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Four Hamilton County mayors shared views and one-liners on the same stage at a OneZone event May 11 at the Forum Conference Cencounty ter in Fishers.

The mayors took questions from the audience, including one on how they work with the state legislature on laws that may affect their cities.

“The best thing the legislature can do is stay home and let us run our communities,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “However, that’s not going to change … They pass a law and (believe) one size fits all, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said, “I thought maybe part of the answer was building a wall at 96th Street. Coming in from the private sector 10 years ago and dealing with municipal finance, I’m absolutely appalled at the laws and policies that hinder growing cities.”

One place where the mayors do agree with the state legislature is with a gas tax to improve the roads.

“Somebody has to have the fortitude to say our roads are in terrible shape, the gas price jumps up and down five to 10 cents every day, and we need a gas tax as a revenue source to fix our roads,” Ditslear said. “It’s paid for by the user, so if you don’t drive a lot, you don’t pay a lot.”

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard agreed, suggesting a mileage-based formula.

“Somebody on social security who drives 10 miles a week shouldn’t be paying as much as someone who drives a couple hundred miles a week or a trucker who comes through the state from New York or California,” Brainard said.

License branch closures – All BMV license branches will be closed from May 28 through May 30 in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. All branches will resume their regularly scheduled business hours May 31.

Ward elected president – Hamilton County Surveyor Kenton Ward was elected president of the Association of Indiana Counties’ East Central District during the annual meeting in Shelby County last month.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said the failed Indiana House proposal, which included raising the gas tax from 18 cents to 22 cents per gallon and an increase of a $1 tax on cigarette packs, was the best long-term solution for road funding.

“We made a small step forward (with a funding bill that did pass),” Fadness said. “But I am hoping we can revive that conversation in the next legislature, because there were a lot of good things in there, and it was a sustainable, systemic approach to an ongoing infrastructure issue.”

Junior police academy – The Hamilton County Junior Law Enforcement Academy is accepting applications. The academy is a one-day program for kids who might be interested in law enforcement.

The academy will be held from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. June 17 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds. To register, contact Phyllis.Caudill@hamiltoncounty.gov.

Memorial Day Service – The Westfield American Legion Post 318 will hold its 94th Consecutive Memorial Day Service on May 28. Local Boy Scout and Cub Scout Troops will participate in the program. The service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Summit Lawn Cemetery on South Union Street. Please join us as we honor and pay tribute to those fallen veterans from all wars who have helped maintain freedom throughout the history of this great country. Please bring your own seating.

Westfield man arrested for burglary and vandalism news@currentinwestfield.com The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept. recently arrested two males regarding criminal mischief at a crime home under construction at the 16300 block of Gray Road. Deputies were first alerted of the mischief in March when the construction contractor found damage inside the

house, according to a press release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept.

More vandalism has occurred since the first incident, amounting to more than $50,000 worth of damage. Vandalism included damage to walls, cabinets and flooring, as well as construction equipment.

Westfield’s Timothy Moore, 18, was arrested with alleged charges of burMoore

glary, a Level 5 Felony, and criminal mischief, a Level 6 Felony. He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail May 10 and was released later with a $15,000 bond.

A 16-year-old Noblesville male was also arrested, but the juvenile’s name has not been released.

Several citizens came forward with information that led to the arrests.

Local mom shares love of books

By Jenna Liston • news@currentinwestfield.com After creating a community project due for her class, Esther Mead decided her small library project needed to be more school than just an assignment.

While being a mom of three, attending college to finish her teaching degree and being an active member in the community, Mead said she decided it was time to bring everyone together and spread literacy throughout the community.

“There is such a strong need for books in the community. Some kids don’t have any books at home and rely on the books given to them at school. I am trying to give these kids a chance to have those needs fulfilled for free,” Mead said.

The Itty Bitty Libraries will allow for those in the community to take a book in exchange for another book. The libraries are currently placed in front of the elementary schools allowing for students to ride their bikes along sidewalks to access them safely.

“The schools are a great resource for students to check out books, but when the summer comes, how can these children get a new book? Instead of having to drive to the library, these kids can now have a way to get a book

closer to home,” Mead said.

Mead plans to expand the libraries and eventually become a nonprofit organization that will have a library for every elementary school in Westfield. With the help of students from Westfield High School, the libraries are now being built and painted by construction and art students.

The next library grand opening will be at 8:30 a.m. May 27 at Monon Trail Elementary.

Westfield family reaps benefits from first blackberry crop

meet the van nattas Bruce Van Natta inspects a flower on one of his blackberry plants. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Originally, SurReal Farms was for alpacas. Then, Bruce Van Natta and his wife, Alison, considered lavender, elderberry and choke berry. Finally, the Westfield couple cover story settled on establishing five acres of blackberries on their 28-acre property at 1881 W. 161st St. and have experienced nothing but success.

The blackberries were planted three years ago, but this summer will be the second harvest, as the first year the couple just cut the plants back for root development.

“Alpacas we could figure out, but we weren’t farmers,” Bruce said. “We looked at lavender and then thought about elderberry and choke berry. It’s a native plant, but because of the labor costs (were) so great, the nutraceutical companies wouldn’t buy our berries, so we would’ve been restricted to farmers markets.”

A woman in the industry told Bruce about blackberries, and he purchased trellis-growing systems from Fort Wayne to better grow his blackberries.

The Natchez berry can grow larger than an average berry. (Submitted photo)

From left, Bruce, Kate, Will, Alison and Thomas Van Natta near the five acres of blackberries at their Westfield home. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Throughout the five-acre blackberry farm, Bruce said he has approximately 3,500 plants. Last year, for the first harvest, the SurReal blackberries were sold in commercial grocers, like Kroger and Costco. The blackberries also stayed in the community, as The Local, 14655 Gray Rd., used them in homemade blackberry cobbler. Blackhawk Winery in Sheridan used 1,200 pounds of berries to make blackberry wine, which sold out. This year, Blackhawk Winery is planning to receive 2,000 pounds of berries.

Other companies who use the blackberries are Nicey Pop in Broad Ripple, Belgian Horse Winery and Simplicity Juice.

“We have four varietals of berries. They all taste and look different,” Bruce said.

Kids: Thomas Alan Van Natta, 12, twins Will and Kate, 8 1/2.

Work: In addition to farming, Bruce co-owns Meridian Plastic Surgeons, where he met Alison, who worked as a nurse.

The couple has been married 13 years.

Berry goal this year: 7,500 cases, approximately 40,000 pounds of berries.

Other uses for the berries: The Van Nattas donated berries to the Salvation Army and Orchard Schools in Indianapolis, where the Van Natta children attend. Each class did a project with the berries to make jelly and learn of the blackberry life cycle.

The berry varietals include Natchez, Ouachita, Chester and Triple Crown.

“The Natchez berries are so big, they are hard to get into the clamshells,” Alison said. “They are huge and delicious. They are high in sugar content, a really good eating berry and they look cool.”

By the end of June, the Van Nattas and their staff will be harvesting every day for seven to eight weeks. The Chester berries last longer and are harvested into September. Berries can’t be picked wet due to mold, and once picked, the berries have to be cooled within 45 minutes.

“Our very first season was incredibly rainy, and we were pulling our hair out, but we got so lucky because we didn’t have any we had to get rid of,” Alison said. “The reason we have four different varietals is we have early yielding fruit to mid-time and later, so we are not picking all at one time.”

As they continue to expand their berries, the Van Nattas are considering a U-Pick event for families and kids to pick the fruit on their own to take home. However, that hasn’t been established yet.

“We always liked the fruit, but we ate our weight in blackberries last year,” Bruce said. “Farming isn’t easy, we’ve figured that out, but that’s just part of it.”

Who are you?

Study tells us We recently were handed the results of our latest round of commissioned marketplace research. SMARI, Inc. of Carmel did the heavy lifting for us, and we’ve learned even more about what people want in their Current each week. (You might recall that our report historically has been based on such findings. We, indeed, let the community edit our product.) So, who are you? For starters, we know 70 percent of our initial readers are female, 82 percent are married, 69 percent have lived in the community for 10 or more years, 47 percent of households have no one 18 years old or younger in them and while 46 percent of households earn a minimum of $100,000 a year, another 11 percent of households earn at least $200,000 a year. We also know 92 percent of Current recipients read our editions, and 64 percent of them keep Current in the home from one to seven days. Our audience is most fond of dining out (fine dining, sit-down dining and fast-food dining), travel, parks, spas and beauty opportunities, shopping for cars or automotive products, gardening and landscaping, live performances, health/wellness and fitness, museums, in-theatre movies, do-it-yourself projects, auctions and all manner of cultural events. That’s an extremely powerful snapshot of who our reader is.

As has been the case, we will continue to massage our content presentation to reflect the market’s preferences, while continuing to focus on community news, government, experiential opportunities, road construction and building projects, among other topics.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Cheating cheaters Commentary by Terry Anker If cheaters never prosper, why do they seem to win almost every time? Take the high road. Turn the other cheek. It can be tough to listen quietly as others express hurtful, ignorant or even intentionally destructive remarks. They take advantage of guile, fear and manipulation to keep us put.

And, they “win” every time.

Well, not every time. Trust matters. We humans learned long before the first creative types memorialized our joint efforts on the cave walls that it is to our mutual benefit to work in groups. We protect each other.

We sacrifice our own interest for each other.

We have a much better chance of prevailing against the Woolly mammoth when in the company of each other.

When we cultivate confidence and fidelity in our friends and family, we can best count on their support when and where we need it. Alternatively, lying, bullying and other subterfuge, no matter how clever we imagine it to be, eventually, wears thin.

Prevaricating, threatening and manipulating can keep others under our will for a moment, but only until the occasion allows for escape. Wouldn’t we be better served to forge our relationships in honesty, knowing that our rejection, if deserved, will be immediate rather, than coming when we most need the backing? If we tell the truth and let folks get to know us upfront, wouldn’t we expect that, when the chips are down, they are there because they want to be and will stay at our sides? Fear, fraud and deception are like iron shackles – they only work when tightly bound but fail if loosened.

Sure, we might get expelled from the mean-girl club, but knowing that our friends know us, and are still willing to stand with us, is worth it. Cheaters may win occasionally, but they never prosper for long.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

For the life of me, I could not think of anything to write about this week until I spent two and a half hours humor on a bike, cycling through the small towns and farms just north of where I live. If that sounds miserable to you, believe me, it was. Every single minute of it was an exercise in concentration, perseverance and bladder control. But I’m hell-bent on finishing a half-Ironman in June, and just because the temperature is an unseasonable 43 degrees with wind gusts of up to 25 mph does not mean you can go back to bed on a Saturday. There’s guard practice to carpool and dance competitions to attend!

Anyhoo, back to my two-wheel road trip.

I’ve always had remarkably strong powers of observation (it’s a gift), so I decided to put them to use, at least when I wasn’t accidently heading for a ditch or purposely peeing in one. I was absolutely amazed at the weird, wonderful and undoubtedly disturbing things I saw within a 10-mile radius of my house.

There were horses, cows, geese and hogs; honeysuckle, roses, poison ivy and dandelions; Colts flags, IU basketball hoops, WHS signs and a rogue Patriots banner (How dare you, sir!). I smelled bonfires, fresh manure and gasoline; rode past new subdivisions, crumbling Craftsmen and what I’m pretty sure was a meth lab; and discovered a back road that doesn’t even appear on Google maps. I saw dental offices, consignment shops and eggs for sale; was passed by pickups, mini-vans, a semi and a rusty garbage truck; and wondered on several occasions how long we’d last after a Yellowstone super volcano eruption with all the silos and water towers punctuating the landscape. (I recently read “Ashfall,” and it makes a zombie apocalypse look like a clogged toilet.)

My toes froze, my sunglass were blown off and with the wind, I think I actually was pedaling backwards at times. But I was rewarded with a fascinating look at rural Indiana and something non-controversial to write about for the week. Peace out.

New breweries join History on Tap

By Desiree Williams • editorial@youarecurrent.com Beer fans are in for a treat at Conner Prairie’s fifth annual History on Tap event June 3. With the addition of beers from Metazoa, Blind Owl, Heady Hollow and Deer Creek Brewery, there will drinks be 23 breweries at this year’s event, along with food and entertainment.

Kelly Backus, event manager, said Conner Prairie staff wanted to create “a program that provided a social atmosphere for adults 21 and older to connect with (the) beautiful grounds and help tie Indiana’s brewing heritage to the revival of the craft beer industry.”

History on Tap starts at 6:30 p.m. June 3 for those with general admission or designated driver tickets. For those interested in arriving earlier and meeting the brewers, they can purchase premium tickets for $50 or VIP tickets for $65.

Premium ticket holders will have time to talk to brewers personally and have access to early tastings beginning at 6 p.m. VIP ticket holders start in the Overlook Room at 5:30 p.m., where they have time to meet the brewers, try appetizers from a local restaurant and enjoy special tastings.

“A lot of people enjoy the VIP because they get special brews from the brewers that they aren’t going to get outside,” Backus said.

There will be other tastings outside and a special Prairie View Chat running every 15 minutes to teach about classic world brew styles.

Prairietown will also be open for guests to visit entertainment sites.

Noblesville community concerts – This year’s concert series begins June 2 at Dillon Park and runs through July 28. The concert series is free to the public, and guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages to enjoy while in attendance. All shows begin at 7 p.m. The 2016 line-up includes shows at Dillon Park, 6001 Edenshall Lane, and Forest Park, 701 Cicero Rd. Dillon Park shows include Seth Bradley on June 2, Living Proof on June 9, CornField Mafia on June 16, My Yellow Rickshaw on June 23, and Zanna-Doo on June 30. Forest Park concerts include Endless Summer on July 7, Killing Karma on July 14, Not Your Average Boy Band on July 21 and Paul Butler as Elvis on July 28.

“People love the grounds at Conner Prairie,” Backus said. “We have something different to offer than some of the other craft brew experiences that people could have.”

Backus said they are hoping the event will keep growing so they can continue to invite new brewers.

“G2 is still a very high level of dancing, we do encourage the general public to come see them and the students (in the academy) are great, too,” Hancock said.

“It’s a nice experience for the young dancers to be on a bigger stage and in a nice theatre. It’s a rare opportunity form.”

Folk duo to play May 24

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS! The winners for last month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: Teacher Stephanie Phillips Student Roma Koroneos Westfield Intermediate school The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District.

After completing a cross-country tour last year, as well as touring Europe and Canada, traditional country and folk duo music Beverly Smith and John Grimm are stopping in Indiana.

They will be performing at 7:30 p.m. May 27 at Logan Street Sanctuary, 1274 Logan St., in Noblesville. Logan Street Sanctuary suggests a $12 donation, which goes to the performers, but admission is free of charge.

Smith and Grimm individually found music at a young age, but they became a duo four years ago after meeting at the Bear on the Square Mountain Festival in Dahlonega, Georgia. “We met there and played some fiddle tunes together,� Grimm said. “We liked what we did and got together after that.�

Both musicians are award-winning multi-instrumentalists – each can play the fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin – and singers. Grimm describes their sound as traditional, old-time music, accompanied by harmony singing.

They are inspired by turn-of-the-century music and fiddlers like Tommy Jarrell and Clyde Davenport, or “obscure artists no one

has ever heard of,� Grimm said, jokingly. The duo performs the old-time tunes often, but they have also written original pieces. “In our performances, we don’t want to write anything that sounds too modern,�

Grimm said.

The duo recently released their second album, and a third is in the works. Grimm said their albums usually include old tunes with one or two original pieces, but they want to incorporate more originals on the next album.

Grimm also owns Vintage Music, a shop in Georgia where he sells instruments, teaches music lessons and offers a recording studio facility for patrons.

Blueprint for Improvement: Elegant bathroom transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create more open, functional bathroom for the homeowners that added the elegant details they were looking for.

1. The dividing wall was removed, creating a more open space and allowing larger shower and cabinetry footprints.

2. The larger shower features a stunning curved glass door and adjacent wall panel.

3. A spa-like, custom shower system was installed, enabling the homeowners to use multiple fixtures at once.

4. A new, soaker tub replaced the old carpeted, jetted tub. The new tub faucet is another eyecatching detail.

5. The new 10-foot-long vanity was set between the two windows, providing much needed storage and a makeup area.

6. The finishes combine the traditional feeling of their home with the glitzy and elegant touches the homeowners had dreamed of for years.

Before Background info: This 1980s master bathroom on Geist Reservoir, in the Feather Cove neighborhood, was in desperate need of an update! Even with multiple windows, a skylight and a vaulted ceiling, it felt too dark and cramped, with a wall separating the small shower and toilet from the rest of the space.

Before problems: The existing space had a dysfunctional vanity, carpeted tub, cramped shower and outdated finishes. Simply, by removing the wall separating the shower and toilet from the rest of the space, we were able to overcome the challenges the homeowners faced.

Crayon stains – If you’ve got a crayon stain in clothing, here’s one possible way to remove it.

Lay the cloth stain-side up on a stack of paper towels (approximately eight sheets). Spray the stained area with WD-40 lubricant, and let it sit for three to five minutes. Turn the cloth over, and spray the other side, letting it sit for another three to five minutes. Then launder as usual.

Keep sugar from clumping – With hot, humid weather approaching, you may notice your sugar clumping up from the extra moisture in the air. To prevent this, place some salt-free saltines or soda crackers in the container with your sugar. Keep them around the outer edges so you don’t get cracker crumbs in the sugar.

The crackers will absorb excess moisture and prevent the sugar from clumping.

Best time to mow – Mowing wet grass can spread turf grass disease pathogens, which already exist on your lawn. It’s best to mow when it’s cool and the lawn is at its driest, typically in the late afternoon. Mow often – a few inches at a time and no more than one-third the total blade length – rather than waiting until the grass is high. It’s less stressful for the grass.

The Parliament Building in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Budapest, a city on the Danube Commentary by Don Knebel Presumably because Hungary does not figure much into U.S. political or religious history, far fewer Americans visit Budatravel pest than London, Paris or Rome.

That is unfortunate. Budapest is one of the world’s great cities, with magnificent buildings, beautiful settings and its own impressive history.

Budapest was formed in 1873 by the merger of Buda, a city on hills west of the Danube River, and Pest, a city on the flat areas east of the river. The cities were joined physically in 1849 by the “Chain Bridge,” a large suspension bridge completed 24 years before the Brooklyn Bridge. Even before their official merger, the cities jointly served as co-capital of AustriaHungary, a powerful empire that existed from 1867 to 1918. During the height of the Empire, the Hungarian Parliament Building was constructed along the Danube on the Pest side. The river front façade of this elaborate Gothic Revival style building is six feet wider than that of London’s Palace of Westminster, whose design inspired it. Today, Budapest’s

parliament building is the world’s third largest.

Budapest also includes what is said to be the world’s second largest synagogue, completed in 1859 in a Moorish style reflecting the good relationship between Budapest’s Jews and Muslims when the city was controlled by the Islamic Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Picturesque Castle Hill, across the Danube from the parliament building, includes the imposing Buda Castle and the 14th century Matthias Church. The church held the coronation of Charles IV of Hungary, the last ruler of Austria-Hungary, who renounced the Empire after its defeat in World War I. Today the church roof is covered in bright orange Zsolnay tiles, invented in Hungary.

In October 2013, readers of Condé Nast Traveler named Budapest the “world’s top city.” It is certainly among them.
