Tech company announces new headquarters By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Flexware Innovation will establish a new headquarters in downtown growth Fishers on the north side of the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre ellipses, 6 Municipal Dr. The tech company announced the $3.5 million development with the City of Fishers April 13. “Flexware came to Fishers before there was a strong tech community, Launch Fishers and the IoT Lab,” Flexware Innovation President Scott Whitlock stated in a press release. “We are so excited about Fishers’ vision of being a smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial city and believe the downtown location will help as a recruiting tool for our firm. The only downside about moving from our current location in Fishers is not being able to keep the address on Technology Lane.” Flexware Innovation occupies a space at 9128 Technology Lane, where it assists manufacturers across the nation with business intelligence and automation solutions, according to the company’s website. Last fall, the tech company broadcasted its plans to create 68 high-wage jobs within the next four years. The newly announced project will feature a 24,000-square-foot Class A office building with

Along with the announcement of the headquarters, the City of Fishers announced it will construct a 100-space public parking lot which will offer free public parking after 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and all hours on the weekend. “Scott Whitlock and his team are dedicated to growing in Fishers and have been part of
our community since the beginning, and I look forward to having Flexware Innovation join the Nickel Plate District’s growing list of companies that call it home,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated in a press release. “The Flexware Innovation Building is a great addition to our downtown as we continue to fulfill the vision of a vibrant downtown center.” At its April 16 meeting, the Fishers City Council approved tax abatement incentives and fee waivers totaling $266,404.

Design firm proposes to move location A rendering of the proposed Vive Exterior Designs at 11070 E. 126th St. (Submitted rendering)
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At the April 11 Fishers Plan Commission meeting, Faegre Baker Daniels law firm presented on behalf of Vive growth Exterior Design to ask for a rezone for a 4-acre property at 11070 E. 126th St., just west of I-69. The proposal is to rezone the lot from residential to commercial. The rezone would allow Vive Exterior Design to construct an outdoor/exterior design firm on the lot. The proposal also includes plans for a utility facility on the eastern portion of the site.
The firm is currently at 12595 Cumberland Rd. in Fishers. Steve Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels said the firm is excited to expand and grow locally by moving its headquarters to the new location if approved by city council. “They are looking to move business operations to this site,” Hardin said during his presentation to the APC. “Essentially, (the development) will look like a nursery, but there will be no on-site sales at this location. It will be all design and consulting and storage of materials on-site.” An office and a warehouse would be
constructed on the center of the lot, and a utility facility would be built on the eastern portion, which would include 11-foot tall shelters for cable services but no cell towers. Landscaping would be provided by the petitioner to screen and buffer the site. A public hearing was held for the proposal but nobody spoke. The APC forwarded the proposal onto the city council with no complaints, 8-0. The proposal was presented to the city council for its first and second reading at its April 16 meeting. Construction is planned to begin this spring with a tentative move-in date of spring 2019.

Judge overturns county’s sign ordinance By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With just a few weeks until the primary election, political candidates once again may put their campaign Election signs in Hamilton County rights of way. Hamilton Superior Court Judge William J. Hughes ruled April 11 that the county’s sign ordinance, adopted Feb. 12, is unconstitutional because it restricts some signs — such as political ones — in unincorporated areas but allows commercial signs, which are regulated by a different county code. Rick Sharp, a Carmel resident running for a seat on the Hamilton County Council, filed a lawsuit Feb. 20 challenging the sign ordinance. He said it restricted political free speech and limited chances for lesser-financed candidates to build name recognition. Hughes stated the county has the right to limit signs to improve aesthetics and ensure public safety — two goals stated in the ordinance — but that it didn’t make sense to then allow only certain kinds of signs, especially when content is the determining factor.

Political candidates may once again place signs in county rights of way. (File photo)
“Defendants have made no showing whatsoever that, in the unincorporated part of Hamilton County — the vast majority of Hamilton County Right of Way — commercial signs do not also interfere with the County’s asserted interests in improving aesthetics and ensuring safety,” Hughes stated in the ruling. The judge threw out the ordinance for incorporated areas as well, stating in the
ruling that it is “over-inclusive for sweeping too much speech within its reach.” “On its face, the Sign Ordinance prohibits a stranded motorist, for example, from placing a sign or row of signs — in the form of flares — around her car on the roadway’s shoulder,” the ruling states. “On this basis, too, the ordinance is constitutionally infirm.” County Commission President Christine Altman, who is running a primary campaign to keep her seat, said commissioners will meet to determine if they will appeal the ruling. “While we disagree with the court’s interpretation of the ordinance and the law, we respect that the trial court has issued its determination,” she stated in an email. “In the interim, we caution that anyone placing signage in county right of way exercise due caution not to endanger themselves or the traveling public in their placement.” Sharp said he is “very happy” about the ruling, although he doesn’t plan to put his campaign signs in the county’s rights of way until closer to the May 8 election day. “It was a good day for Hamilton County (April 11),” Sharp said. “The First Amendment is alive and well.”

Sheriff candidates talk jail expansion, drugs at public forum By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com More than 100 Hamilton County residents heard firsthand how candidates Eddie Moore, Dennis Quakenbush, election Mitch Russell and Bill Clifford would handle various topics if elected sheriff. Three candidates currently work for the sheriff’s office. Moore is a commander on the patrol division; Quakenbush is captain of the patrol division; and Clifford is a sergeant. Russell works as chief of security for Riverview Health. Abdul-Hakim Shabazz moderated the event and asked if the sheriff’s department needed more financial resources to keep up with county growth, along with questions about the candidates’ thoughts on school safety, the opioid epidemic and more. Quakenbush said tax dollars were very important to him and that his background in business equips him for handling the department’s financial resources. ‘We all want the best services we can have at the best value,” he said. Clifford said asking citizens for more money isn’t a smart move, and that existing resources could be redirected within the

department. “Certainly, there are things we can do with the things we have. Asking for more from the citizens of Hamilton County isn’t necessarily the best idea,” Clifford said.
“Are there resources we can redirect and laser-focus those resources so we can better serve the citizens? I certainly think so.” The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has jurisdiction over Hamilton Heights schools.
Moore said the most important topic to consider was adequate training with regard to school safety. “That is the secret to keeping our schools as safe as we possibly can, through training,” Moore said. “That is one place we need to be sending our resources. My squad gets trained because I train them, but not all squads are getting the same training and same opportunities. It is all about the training.” Through his involvement with Riverview Health, Russell said he’s seen countless opioid overdose victims come through hospital doors and then exit without a follow-up from law enforcement. Although Russell can’t contact law enforcement about overdose victims because of HIPAA rules, he said he is running for sheriff to do something about the epidemic. “I chose to run for sheriff because the heroin epidemic affects everybody, every socioeconomic class,” he said. “I can’t solve the problem, but I’m sure going to put a dent in it because it’s killing our kids and our families.” A straw poll was planned for the evening but was not conducted.

Three student-athletes to be recognized at banquet By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Three Fishers High School senior football players will award be recognized at an awards banquet April 29 by the Central Indiana Chapter of the National Football Foundation. For the first time, FHS nominated three of its football players to receive the Scholar Athlete Award from the National Football Foundation. The school has nominated two students before, but never three. Recipients are Will Syrus, Ben Norton and Luke Uribe. “When we nominate somebody, we usually nominate one, and a few times we have nominated two,” head coach Rick Wimmer said. “This year, we just could not decide, so I left it up to the committee to choose, not expecting all three of them would receive the award.”
Uribe is a defensive back and will attend Indiana University but will not play football. Syrus is a wide receiver who plans to attend Hillsdale College in Michigan and will play there. Norton is a kicker and plans to attend Utah State University and play football. To be nominated for the Scholar Syrus Athlete Award, students must be seniors showcasing excellent football ability, academic achievement and citizenship. Seventeen athletes from central Indiana will be recognized at the event. “The application process involves Norton nominating kids that are outstanding in each of those areas,” Wimmer said. The Scholar Athlete Awards Banquet is scheduled for 4 p.m. April 29 at the Primo Banquet and Conference Center in Indianapolis. For more, visit footballfoundation. com. Uribe

Thorpe Creek proposes 10-acre Overlook proposes 40 dwellings expansion for 18 homes By Anna Skinner• anna@youarecurrent.com
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At its April 11 meeting, the Fishers Advisory Plan Commission residential heard a proposal from Grand Communities to expand the Thorpe Creek neighborhood approximately 10 acres to allow for 18 additional single-family lots. The expansion would be to the south of the Thorpe Creek Planned Unit Development, southwest of 126th Street and Southeastern Parkway. It would require the same development standards as the original neighborhood. The price range would be between $580,000 and $750,000, with an average of $700,000. A sub street would be built south of the expansion. A public hearing also was held and multiple people spoke, raising concerns about drainage, construction causing the removal of trees and the suggestion of a fence buffer between the original homes in the Thorpe Creek neighborhood and the expansion to the south.

Steve Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels answered the concerns at the end of the hearing. “Drainage would be addressed during the improvement plan and accommodated during the city’s drainage review,” Hardin said. “There isn’t any plan to fence or buffer. It’s residential to residential, so there’s no reason to do that.” The plan commission unanimously forwarded the proposal onto city council, 9-0.
Westport Homes presented a proposal for The Overlook at White River, previously known as the Thordevelopment oughbred Planned Unit Development, to the Fishers Advisory Plan Commission at its April 11 meeting. The proposal requested 40 attached single-family dwellings to be built on approximately 9 acres southwest of 146th Street and Allisonville Road. Previously, an assisted living facility was planned for the area and Westport Homes is proposing an amendment to that project to allow for dwellings. Homes would include one- and two-story residences and are targeted towards adult singles or empty nesters. The homes would be priced between $215,000 and $235,000. Buildings would include between three or six units. For the units with rears facing Allisonville Road, development standards call for masonry to cover the entire first floor. Plan commission member Pete Peterson said he would like to see those standards for all the units and not just the ones facing Allisonville. “The frontage looks great, but I’m not thrilled with the back,” he said. “My prefer-

ence is to do some additional architectural work on the back. I like the product, I think it’s a neat product and definitely needed.” The petitioner agreed to add verbiage to the amendment to call for 75 percent of the units to have at least one architectural feature of the buyer’s choosing, such as a pergola or a porch, among other options. Although other members raised concerns about traffic on Allisonville causing danger to those turning out of the development without a stoplight, the proposal was passed onto city council with a favorable recommendation of 9-0. If approved by council, site work is expected to begin this summer with home construction beginning late this year or early next year.

Co-parenting after a divorce can be challenging enough, but trying to coordinate schedules between parents and a child can often create additional frustration. Summer schedules are typically much different than during the school year and, as summer break is quickly approaching, it is important to be mindful of the challenges of juggling differing schedules. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines (IPTG) do offer some direction on how to divide a child’s summer vacation, but remember these are just bare-minimum guidelines and that it is best to do what works for the unique needs of the child(ren) and the parents. Plan summer schedules ahead as early as possible. The IPTG require a noncustodial parent to make their summer parenting time selection by April 1st of each year; however, if you are currently in the process of going through a divorce, creating a summer parenting time schedule should be at the top of your to-do list. Summer vacation begins the day after school dismisses for the summer and ends the day before school resumes for the new school year. If you plan to follow the IPTG, for children 5 years and older who follow a traditional school schedule, each parent gets one-half of the child(ren)’s summer vacation. Although summer vacation is to be shared equally between parents, it can be divided in a way which works best for the parents and child(ren). Planning an out-of-town vacation? Regular parenting time essentially flip flops for whichever parent is currently exercising their extended summer parenting time. Get that vacation scheduled and on the books early so the other parent can plan accordingly. When creating a schedule, the IPTG dictate that parents should also consider the other parent’s work schedule, and a parent’s work restrictions should never be used against them. Let the other parent know as early as possible if any employer-imposed restrictions exist that may conflict with a summer parenting schedule, and plan accordingly.
Remember that what’s in the best interest of the child(ren) is most important! A summer parenting plan should be crafted to fit the child(ren)’s specific needs. Consider speaking to your child(ren), especially if they’re older, about their wishes for summer vacation. What may work for a 10-year-old may not work for as well for a 16-year-old. Although a child should never make the ultimate decision as to whether parenting time occurs, it is important to consider a child’s activities and wishes, so they can also enjoy their vacation from school. If your child participated in a particular summer camp or sports league prior to your separation, the divorce should not dictate a significant change. Be mindful fact that academic, extracurricular, and social activities are just as important to the child(ren)’s development, even if it’s during your scheduled parenting time. It is not uncommon for adolescents to have to study more often, to be heavily involved in extracurricular activities (such as sports), or to have varying social activities with friends, and the IPTG recognize that parents should make all reasonable efforts to accommodate that participation. Be flexible and avoid parenting power struggles. Unless an inability to civilly and effectively communicate exists (thereby creating an environment that puts the child(ren)’s well-being at risk), communication with your former spouse is key. Even happily married couples often have differing parenting styles and a separation can intensify these differences. Pick your battles and find agreeable ways to communicate with each other. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Township trustee reveals story of sexual abuse, brings campaign to Fishers
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Delaware Township Trustee Debbie Driskell kept her secret cover story for 53 years. When she heard the story of Isha Haley’s abuse and how it inspired the No More Secrets campaign that swept North Township, she decided to step out of the shadows and into the light, sharing her story with her mother this past winter. “When I heard Isha’s story and I saw her, I thought I can do it, too. I can be open with the fact that I had been abused and I had never told anyone other than when I sought (professional) treatment for my issues,” Driskell said. “As a child, I didn’t have anyone to tell, and that’s where my heart is, that kids know they can tell and they can get help and that adults know what to look for. I exhibited symptoms as a child that if they were observed by someone that’s educated, they would know something was wrong.” Although she didn’t want to name her abuser, Driskell who said she was abused as a toddler, clarified that the person was
not a member of her immediate family. Haley worked with North Township Trustee Frank J. Mrvan to pass Senate Bill 355, which requires public and private schools to provide at least one hour of body safety curriculum each year before December. The curriculum will begin this fall. The No More Secrets campaign played an instrumental part in passing the bill, which was approved in April 2017. Mrvan spoke at a conference Driskell attended, which encouraged her to bring the campaign to Fishers. Now that her granddaughters are the age she was when she was abused, Driskell sees the issue of sexual abuse in an entirely new light. The goal in bringing the No More Secrets campaign to Fishers is to empower other organizations that reach children, such as churches. “Since schools are already covered, if you think about other places where large groups of children come, we thought of the faith-based, the clergy, the churches,” Driskell said. “We are trying to reach the ministers in all the churches in Fishers with the message.”
Christ’s Community Church Pastor Nathan Pyle is one of the ministers Driskell and her team contacted. Pyle also serves on the board of Cherish, a child abuse advocacy center based in Carmel. Pyle now helps No More Secrets enlist churches to become actively involved in raising awareness. “I really do hope the churches can get behind this and both provide training for volunteers because we do have the unique opportunity of seeing kids on a weekly basis, but also to really support the community and make the community a place where our children are safe, and if something were to happen here, it is a place where they can get both help and healing,” Pyle said. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Fishers’ No More Secrets campaign will culminate in a free symposium scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 30 at the Delaware Township Community Center, 9094 E. 131st St. For more or to register, visit eventbrite.com/e/no-moresecrets-in-fishers-townships-stand-united-for-children-tickets-44661016302.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker America’s first president, George Washington, once said, “It is far better to be alone than to be in bad company.” Although Washington made himself sound a bit like one who enjoys his own companionship a fair amount, he does remind us of a pair of important truths. First, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being alone. And second, we should work hard to ensure that we can always find good company. Today, we are awash in non-human entertainments with which to interact. Some of them in the technology world even work to convince us, if we are willing to suspend our disbelief for a moment or two, that we are interacting with other people rather than some highly developed software or device. Still, isn’t human interaction key? Even in a world filled with technology, don’t we need, perhaps crave, the complex and unpredictable company of our fellow human beings? Enter the community leadership development organizations. Big players include Boone County Leadership (November application deadline); Marion County’s Stanley K. Lacy Leadership series (early March 2019); and the Hamilton County Leadership Academy (end of May). Each of these, through rigorous application processes, selects a diverse but cohesive group of young, wouldbe community leaders to spend most of the year learning together about how our communities are built, run and held together. These folks are tutored for the inevitable time when they will take the reins in constructing the road to our future. Interested? Apply! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Internet crimes against children Commentary by Det. Robert Murray, assigned to the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force What can a parent do to protect their child on the internet? This no more is one of the most common questions that I get secrets asked as an investigator. The most important and beneficial thing that a parent can do to protect their child on the internet is to maintain a proactive role in their child’s online activity. When a child is given unfettered access to the internet, they also are being given the ability to communicate with individuals around the world. To put this in perspective, if a parent lets their child go to a park unsupervised, they run the risk of that child communicating with anyone they might encounter there or while traveling there. When a parent allows a child to go on the internet unsupervised, they run the risk of that child communicating with potentially anyone else with internet access. A recent statistic from December 2017 numbered global internet users at 4.15 billion, or 54.4 percent of the popula-
tion of the entire world. In 2017, the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force investigated more than 80 cases of child exploitation. A significant number of these cases started with a child communicating online with someone that attempted to or succeeded in exploiting them. By taking a proactive role in monitoring their child’s internet access and activities, a parent can greatly reduce the potential exposure to individuals that would use the internet to exploit a child. By establishing an honest and trusting rapport with their child that includes internet usage, that parent also significantly increases the chances of their child telling them if someone tries to exploit them. If there is ever a suspicion of a child being exploited or someone attempting to exploit a child, please contact your local police department to report the behavior. Join me April 30 at the No More Secrets Symposium to learn more about internet safety for our children in Hamilton County. Registration is free and available at nomoresecretsfishers.eventbrite.com.
It’s a miracle! I returned home from a professional development weekend to a house and a family which both had their shtick together! Woohoo! humor Indeed, this is rarely the case when I go out of town. A typical homecoming is accompanied by some choice vocabulary on my part and a swarm of fruit flies over the kitchen sink. The fridge/pantry will resemble a Walmart on the eve of the apocalypse, and at least one kid will have missed a practice or an appointment. It goes without saying that absolutely no dishes or laundry will have been done and that the possibility of discovering dog poop on some carpeted portion of the main floor is high. But when I walked in last night, I was greeted with a “Hi, Mom” and a beautifully uncluttered countertop. The dryer was actually running and there were two, count them two, unexpired gallons of milk just waiting to be enjoyed. My husband Doo reassured me that Tiny Dancer had made it to rehearsals and a scheduled sleepover, and that a son had successfully taken his ACT. Doo had even been in communication with our other daughter who was competing in the color guard nationals in Ohio (point to Doo on that one. I may have forgotten. In my defense, though, I had an entire hotel room, with a king-sized bed, to myself!). So, instead of me passive-aggressively berating everyone while ridding the dining room table of shoes, backpacks and miscellaneous hair accessories – typically the opening scene of “Mommy’s Home” – I calmly and lovingly greeted my dear family. For once, I was happy to be back. Truly a miracle! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Don’t be fooled
Editor, I have noticed lately one specific politician popping up in an awful lot of photos and articles recently. What can we attribute this to? Could it be that he is running for re-election in a contested election? Steve Schwartz has been on the Hamilton County Council for 16 years. Have you ever seen him out with the county highway department filling potholes before last week? The picture of him doing it shows him in his bright white tennis shoes, no asphalt or tar on those shoes. He also is in the photo for the solar power “investment,” the only councilor in the photo, along with the three county commissioners who want to keep his locked-up vote on the council. Do you think he was the only councilor who voted for it? No, it took at least four votes to approve. Recently, he popped up in Washington, D.C., to do “county business.” In the history of the county council, has there ever been a county councilor go to Washington, D.C., paid for by the county? Not only did he go, but all three county commissioners went as well. Do you see a pattern here? Not sure why any had to go at all, when we already have a representative in Washington to advocate for us. But if it was necessary, couldn’t just one person go and do the job
instead of taxpayers footing the bill for all four? Mr. Schwartz was recently made council president. That is traditionally a rotational position and it was his turn. Even though it is rotational, several fellow councilmen voted against him taking that position. Apparently, they did not support him in that position. Seeing these cheap political stunts, I see why. Our Hamilton County government has been run by folks comfortably presiding for many years: Commissioner Steve Dillinger for 32 years, Commissioner Christine Altman for 22 years and Steve Schwartz for 16 years. They have become out of touch with taxpayers. They will do whatever it takes to stay in power, even if that means arranging phony photo ops for their political partners. Just because they can doesn’t mean we have to accept it. Watch for more fake photo ops from Mr. Schwartz, and every time you see one, remember he is just trying to fool you into voting for him. And ask yourself, “Who does Mr. Schwartz truly work for: You the taxpayer and voter, or the commissioners?” Nick Gomillion, Noblesville To read the full letter, visit youarecurrent.com.

Three criteria required for Hamilton County Council
Editor, As I said when I decided not run for a third term for county council, I would support candidates, financially and otherwise, who share what I believe to be the things most important to the taxpayers of Hamilton County. To that end, I believe there are many things to consider, but to me they can be framed into three criteria: 1. Does this person have a track record of showing the backbone to stand up for what is right, even in the face of adversity? 2. Has this person proven to be a true conservative? 3. When elected, will this official be beholden only to the taxpayers of Hamilton County? I truly believe that Christine Pauley has checked “yes” to all three boxes. That is why I am supporting her for Hamilton County Council District 4, my present seat. Respectfully, Paul Ayers Hamilton County Council District

Money for sale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie When I was a kid, I collected coins. I’d stuff a handful in my pocket and jangle my way down to the store to buy humor candy, or I’d get bank wrappers in assorted colors and carefully count out the 40 quarters or the 50 dimes required to fill a roll, which I’d save for larger purchases. The thrill never wore off for me — until recently. A container in my office held the collection of the past few years, which would be used toward an upcoming vacation. I took the sealed jar into my bank, assuming the teller would toss my hardearned change into a high-tech coin counter, then sweeten my bank account with this windfall. Instead, I got the bad news: “Mr. Wolfsie, we can count this for you, but we’ll have to subtract 7 percent for administrative costs and wear and tear on our counting machine.” “You’re going to charge customers to put money into your bank? Are people that dumb?” “Apparently. That’s why it’s called chump change.” I just dumped the money on my carpet

and counted a total of $432.50. Now, I knew exactly how much change I had, but I was in the identical predicament I was in before I added it up. I knew what I had. But the bank wasn’t going to trust me. One option was using the Coinstar machine at the supermarket. They charge 9 percent, but you can get all your money back if you take it in the form of a gift certificate to a restaurant. Nope: I was looking forward to using that cash for a romantic meal and a fine bottle of wine in Italy, not 25 fried catfish specials at MCL. I wondered if I could sell the money on Craigslist or eBay. But how would I word the ad? $432.50 for sale. $410.00 or best offer.* *In fair condition; some scratches and smudges. Hand-counted.

Expo recognizes local drapery business By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers business Delaney Window Fashions was awardaccomplishment ed with top honors at the March 27-28 International Window Coverings Expo 2018 in Tampa, Fla. Sigita Nusbaum opened the custom window covering design workroom in 2014. “A lot of businesses in my industry were closing when I opened my business,” Nusbaum said. “I did the research and I had the opportunity to look in Noblesville, but I really wanted to open my business in Fishers because I live in Fishers.” The VISION Design and Workroom Competition recognizes the industry’s best designs and fabrications in a variety of categories. Nusbaum placed first in 3-D Top Treatment for a design she created for a homeowner in Noblesville. “Our client was looking for a formal top treatment which could tie together a large painting and other elements in the room,” Nusbaum said. Nusbaum placed second in the Combination Treatment category for a design she created for a homeowner in Avon. “The two, tall windows required designs that balanced the space and scale and camouflaged the window center, which looked like a cross,” Nusbaum said. Nusbaum is excited to be recognized for her hard work at something she enjoys doing. “I love working directly with clients,” she

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase set for May 20 By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alexandra Manuel always looks forward to the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s Spring Showcase. dance “It’s nice to get to show your friends and family what you’ve been working on the whole year,” Manuel said. “It’s nice to perform the piece one last time.’’ The Carmel resident will perform her solo piece in the Paquita at the Carmelbased IBC’s Spring Showcase, set for 3 p.m. May 20 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 650 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis. Manuel, 14, took first place in the classical and contemporary categories for her juniors group at the Youth American Grand Prix regional competition in Carmel in March. “The second act is all the competition pieces, where’s it’s classical and contemporary,” IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said. “It’s a great opportunity to see a lot of the rising talent.” Carmel resident Quinn Starner, 15, earned first in contemporary and second in classical at the YAGP regional. “I love showing my friends and family what I’ve been working on all year with my classmates,” she said. “We’ve shown how we’ve all improved over the year and how we ended.” Starner said her classical technique has improved the most. Her contemporary dance has improved as well. “(Contemporary instructor) Sergey (Sergiev) has helped me a lot,” Starner said. The first act will feature fairy tales, such as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Three Little Pigs.” That will be for the dancers ages 3 to 8 years old. “We have costumes that are created special for the show,” IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall said. There will be new choreography for the approximately 45-minute Act 1. The second act, approximately one hour, will feature upper level dancers who will perform some of their award-winning works from international ballet competitions. Indiana

There will be a special piano performance arranged and performed on stage by Anatoly Morozov, a 2014 Carmel High School graduate, that will include popular music from “La La Land,” “Westworld” and Vivaldi & Tierson. Yakovleva-Randall will provide original choreography for the piece. “I think it will be about different women characters,” Yakovleva-Randall said. There will be a piece that IBC performed with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir in
March. “The response at the Hilbert (Circle Theatre) was incredible,” Okamoto said. “We want to continue to do events like this. We’ll be doing an event in Cincinnati with ICC. Then, hopefully, with our ’Nutcracker.’ ICC is on the Butler campus and works with the Butler Ballet, but we feel like we can pull them in for a few of our projects.” The Scottish Rite Cathedral is a new performance venue for IBC. “It’s the first time we’ve done it at Scottish Rite,” Okamoto said. “The Cathedral is a fantastic backdrop.” Tickets are $25.

ATI presents Dickens’ work By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Harli Cooper fully embraces her two roles in her first Actors Theatre of Indiana production of “The Mystery of Edwin musical Drood.” “The idea is so fun,” Cooper said. “The whole premise is a troupe of actors putting on a show so everyone has two roles.” The roles of Rosa Bud and Diedre are quite different. The musical, written by Rupert Holmes, is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel, which he was working on when he died. ATI presents the show from April 27 to May 13 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “It’s a murder mystery and we don’t know who did the murder officially but some literacy critics have tried to figure it out,” Cooper said. “But the premise of our show is it’s a troupe of actors putting on a show. Because it’s actors putting on a show, the acting part of it is so melodramatic, it’s ridiculous. We’re cracking each other up in rehearsals. It’s going to be so much fun. I’m so excited for audiences to see it because everyone in the cast is just brilliant.” Cooper has been posting on Instagram under atistagelive. Amy Stark, ATI director of

So, I volunteered to take it on.” Cooper, who turns 27 May 10, said she wants to increase ATI’s social media presence with the playful posts. A 2013 Northern Kentucky University graduate from Louisville, Cooper has had stints with several theater groups, including Derby Dinner Playhouse in Clarksville, Ind. For more, visit atistage.org.

This is the place to go for catching the big games, hanging out with friends or just an evening on the town. The best part, though, is the loaded menu. Appetizers, burgers, specialty pizzas and wings are just a few of the items you’ll want to try. There’s also an amazing list of wines and craft beers. What to get: Wings.

The Chilean-born singer, songwriter and independent music recording artist has lived in Indiana for more than 30 years but has performed at venues all around the world, from the U.S. to Spain to Israel.

He was a dancer and a singer. My father’s side of the family, there were 10 brothers and sisters and they were also very, very musical, so I grew up in a house where we played different instruments.” At age 22, Monsalve began her professional music career in Spain and hasn’t stopped releasing music since.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel master bathroom expansion Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions
Before
Background Info: Located in the Valleybrook neighborhood of Carmel, this 1980s home had a master bathroom that had never been updated. The owners were looking for a way to make it more functional.
The goal for the master bathroom was to gain square footage and create a functional design for the owners to better utilize the space. 1. The first major change came from expanding the bathroom into the master closet, allowing for an open floor plan. 2. The additional space was used to incorporate a large double vanity with all new cabinetry and countertops. A tower was added between each vanity for additional storage. 3. The additional space also allowed for a large custom tile shower with frameless glass and three shower heads. 4. Another large change came from removing the decked tub and replacing it with a freestanding tub. Accent tile flooring around the new tub created a focal point and made the space appear more open. 5. A new lighting plan and new flooring finished off the master bathroom design.

Your Backyard
The existing master bathroom was small, and the floorplan didn’t function well for the owners. The single vanity lacked proper storage and countertop space. The existing, prefabricated shower was small, while the large decked tub dated the space and took up a lot of space, making the room appear smaller.

Contrary contranyms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Biltmore House near Asheville, N.C. (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Biltmore Estate Commentary by Don Knebel Asheville, a picturesque city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, is famous for its eclectic travel citizenry. A popular T-shirt proclaims, “If you’re too weird for Asheville, you’re too weird.” The Biltmore Estate, Asheville’s most popular tourist attraction, epitomizes the ostentatious materialism many of its residents seek to avoid. George Washington Vanderbilt II was the grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made a huge fortune in railroads and steam boats. As a young man, George became fond of Asheville, then a small mountain town. When his father died in 1885, George decided to use his inheritance to build a summer house near Asheville. For what he described as his “little mountain escape,” he assembled a 125,000-acre site south of town from about 700 individual parcels, many of them wooded. He named the property the Biltmore Estate in honor of Bildt, his family’s ancestral village in Holland. George Vanderbilt began building his house in 1889. When completed six years later, the
house had 250 rooms occupying more than 4 acres of floor space. The Châteauesque exterior is constructed of Indiana limestone, but most of the furnishings and interior elements originated in Europe. With 35 bedrooms and 43 bathrooms, the house is the largest in the U.S., about four times the size of the White House. In the early 1900s, faced with increased costs of maintaining his estate, George sold 87,000 acres of land to the U.S. for use as a national forest. During the Great Depression, the Vanderbilt family opened the Biltmore Estate to the public, hoping tourists would come to hard-hit Asheville. The idea worked. Visitors soon began arriving from around the world, some deciding to stay. Today, the Biltmore Estate draws about 1.5 million visitors annually, and George Vanderbilt’s descendants employ more than a thousand of Asheville’s delightful residents. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.
Dispatches Easy vegetable crisper — You may think that rubbery stalk of celery is ready for the compost heap. Not so! Cut it to fit whatever container you have and cover with icecold water for 15 minutes or more. This ice-water soak works on other veggies, such as carrots and parsnips, but it works like magic on celery and lettuce. Source: BottomLineInc.com
Don’t let cheese dry out — Stop cheese from drying out by spreading butter or margarine on the cut sides to seal in moisture. This is most effective with hard cheeses sealed in wax. Source: Esquire NOTICE OF APPROVED ORDINANCE NO. 031918B AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING CERTAIN REAL ESTATE TO THE CITY OF FISHERS, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA NOTICE IS HEREBY PROVIDED that on April 16, 2018, the Common Council for the City of Fishers, Hamilton, Indiana (“City”), meeting in a duly noticed public meeting, and in accordance with Ind. Code §36-43-5.1, passed Ordinance No. 031918B, annexing approximately 39.66 acres located outside of but contiguous to the City, generally known as the southeast corner of 113th St and Florida Rd (the “Annexed Territory”). This Annexation Ordinance is available for review at the City of Fishers, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana 46037 c/o Megan Schaefer, Planner II, Department of Planning and Zoning, and available online at www.fishers.in.us.
Let’s think about “Lord of the Rings” for a minute (and all word nerds rejoiced!). Remember grammar guy Sméagol/Gollum? Whether you read Tolkien’s three-part epic or you watched it on the big screen (or both), Sméagol is an unforgettable character. He can turn from endearing and sweet to greedy and vengeful within the same breath. Today, we’re going to look at the verbal equivalent of Sméagol: contranyms. A contranym is a word that has multiple meanings, one of which is diametrically opposed to another. Here’s an example of a contranym: left. Left can mean either departed or remaining. Depending on your sentence, you could end up left in the dark (see what I did there?). If Frodo leaves the other hobbits to go back to the Shire, who’s left? Depending on your definition of “left,” the answer is either Frodo or the other hobbits. Sneaky little hobbits! “Throw out” is another tricky contranym. It could either mean to dispose of or to present for consideration. In the
case of our hobbit friends in their journey to destroy the “one ring to rule them all,” throw out could change the outcome of the story depending on how it’s used. On one hand, the hobbits could throw out (dispose of) the ring into the molten lava of Mount Doom, thus fulfilling their mission. Alternatively, what if Sam threw out (presented for consideration) an idea in which the group of hobbit friends instead kept the ring so they could turn invisible whenever they wanted to sack Gandalf’s firework collection? Contranyms can really change the story. I can think of an array of other contranyms. Some include dust, oversight, custom, buckle, bolt, refrain and trim. We’re probably much more familiar with synonyms, homonyms and antonyms. When we stumble on such a unique type of word like a contranym, it really can become something precious—just like the One Ring.
