a different Park

Geist waterfront park in early planning stages, input to be sought this fall By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At a cost of $15.7 million, the City of Fishers has a unique cover story opportunity to develop directly on Geist Reservoir. In May 2017, Mayor Scott Fadness announced plans to build a park on property where Irving Materials, Inc. operates a cement plant. Now, more than a year and a half later, the city owns the land at the southeast corner of the Olio Road bridge. IMI will move out by the end of the year because Fishers acquired the land through eminent domain. Some buildings will remain on the property through the construction process, but Fadness said the structures, aside from a cell tower, will eventually be removed. Fadness said approximately 40 acres of the acquired 70 acres is developable. “The cost of the land was $15.7 million, and that was established through a court process that we went through,” Fadness said. “My goal all along was to make sure we could secure this land prior to it being developed. What goes on the park land, long-term, we can take some time and figure that out. However, if we hadn’t acted to secure the property, it would have been developed. The real win for us, at this point, is that we know, in perpetuity, that land and access to the water all belongs to the residents of Fishers and our community, rather than literally what could have been four or five homes.” Fadness said he came up with the idea organically after driving by the site and

wanted it to be a park. He spoke to Geist area residents about the concept. “One of the conversations we had was about how we manage that lake in general and what we could do to really ensure that we’re making decisions that are in the longterm interest of Geist Reservoir and that area,” Fadness said. “As we started thinking about putting more development on an already crowded lake, that didn’t seem like a very good option. That dovetailed into the idea of, ‘How do we give Fishers residents access to the water? How do we lower the impact of development?’ That all kind of converged into this plan.” Fadness said the park, yet unnamed, will not be like most other parks in the city and won’t be focused on youth sports. “In general, people can expect the park not to be a traditional athletic park,” Fadness said. “It’s not baseball and soccer fields. We’re sensitive to creating a design that complements the context in which it’s in. We didn’t use all these resources to secure land and then ignore the fact that it’s in this unique environment.” Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf, a planning and landscape architecture firm, has been contracted by the city for a design plan. The Indy-based company has designed projects like the orangutan center at the Indianapolis Zoo, Grand Junction Park and Plaza in Westfield and the Conner Prairie Amphitheater. “If you take a longer view of where our parks system has evolved over the years, the first decade of the 2000s, we were still catching up with the tremendous population growth and the insatiable ap-

petite for youth athletics,” Fadness said. “So, most of the parks we built were very much utilitarian – Billericay we built for baseball, Cyntheanne we built for soccer, Cumberland we built for soccer, Mudsock was for football. Now, our investments are in creating a more well-rounded and dynamic park offering, and that’s where you see implements of Ritchey Woods and Flat Fork Creek Park, which really don’t have anything to do with youth athletics in the traditional sense. It’s rebalancing our parks system and certainly adding another dynamic.” Design plans for the water likely won’t involve motorized watercraft. “If we’re going to have a lot of people enjoying the water from a pedestrian experience, I would not want to see that interwoven with motorized boats,” Fadness said. “The idea that we would have a boat marina where people could come park their boat, that would not be ideal. This is really more low-impact interaction with the lake – paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, picnics, etc. If people want to ride their jet skis, they can go to the other end of the lake.” Fadness said development funding could come from park impact fees or another bond issuance. “Towards the end of next year, we would start thinking about what we want to fund and whether or not we want to phase it,” Fadness said. “What’s fun about this park is that it can still be a really great amenity to the residents, even if it’s 25 percent done.”

By late fall, Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath said residents and stakeholders can expect the organization of public input and listening sessions. “People will really start seeing (public input sessions) begin in November of this year,” McGrath said. “First we’re going to listen, and then we’re going to come back at the beginning of 2019 and say, ‘Here’s what we heard,’ and continue to get more input from the community as we finalize what that design and the amenities might look like for the long term.” “We’re going to have a community conversation about what people want to see out there,” Mayor Scott Fadness said. “This park is in proximity to neighborhoods that are already established, and they have their concerns about what we’re going to build and what’s going to happen.” In the meantime, while the city gathers public input, the reservoir will be dredged. “This isn’t like any other park project I’ve been a part of,” Fadness said. “Now that we have the land, we have the opportunity to go do some dredging work on the reservoir at a significantly reduced cost, which also will benefit the long-term development of the park. If you were to go walk out on the property today, it’s basically gravel. So, if you want to have a green and environmental component to it, you have to do some kind of soil conditioning. The material that we would be dredging out of the bottom of Geist is very much organic. It’s like black dirt from farmland that gets washed down, plus part of the plant life that’s deteriorated and settled at the bottom. So, we have the opportunity over the next year to 18 months to pull that out and deposit it on the land to help condition the soil.” “Really, over the next couple of months what we’re doing is our due diligence to know a little bit of what those variables might be that impact what we can and can’t do on this land,” McGrath said.

o b s e r v ation Guiding lights

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For centuries, sailors have trusted the stars to guide. Alas, the Polaris is often obscured by weather. Then these dutiful mariners count on experience and faith to help them stay the course. As overcast days persist, the risk of drifting off course increases — along with growing anxiety in the ranks. Teams form and follow direct interface. Now, with the advent of new technologies, we have become increasingly dependent on the independence provided by them. As seamen rely upon satellites, nearly all of us find modern communication devices imperative. Calls, emails, texts and other services for instant communiqué leave us with both significant freedom and, ironically, its corresponding reduction. How do we balance the human need for collaboration with our need for autonomy? Can we spend the bulk of our time away from the office while still mentoring and supporting those we work with daily? Perhaps the same is true with our relationships, families and communities. Are there times when it is wrong to just phone it in? Or, do we simply need to find new ways to accommodate for expanding technologies to substitute for face time? Recently, a community leader shared his frustration that during his extensive travel to build his organization, productivity among his team diminished. One wonders if the young and inexperienced managers might simply be seeking a sighting. Is it possible that a directive by email lacks a required nuance to inspire? Would seeing the boss, even virtually, be enough encouragement? Like sailors waiting for a break in the clouds to show the path, could they be somewhat adrift looking for the sky? We don’t require much but do require some. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Friends, the unthinkable has happened. I am (gulp) no longer (long, dramatic pause) a dance mom (cue tears). Our daughter informed us humor last week that she wanted to quit competitive dancing. After five years of sequined booty shorts, Kardashian faux lashes and jazz hands out the wazoo, she is hanging up her tap shoes. Now a freshman in high school, she wants more time for studying, socializing and work. I mean, I get it. Dance takes enormous commitment and sacrifice, both from the dancer and the parent. I’ve lost track of how many days I’ve spent at various performing arts centers watching hundreds of routines to see my baby on stage for literally three minutes. And don’t get me started on the cost! Seriously, don’t, because I think I still owe from last year. Heck, on some level, I even believe this was the right call. But when she read the text to her coaches explaining her decision, I cried. Partly from pride – the writer in me couldn’t help but notice her elegant and mature use of language – but mostly because I realized that her quitting meant that so was I. No more hanging with fellow dance moms at conventions; no more secretly judging reprehensible costume choices; no more complaining about the weekend-long competitions, even though I actually looked forward to the multiple Steak ‘n Shake runs and book-reading opportunities. The truth is that I loved being a dance mom and wasn’t prepared for that part of my life to end. Perhaps more importantly, what nonsense am I supposed to write about now? Peace out.

Surveys show that most people hate at least one part of their body. I’m not happy with my ears, for example. I humor think they stick out more than they should. My wife says I’m crazy, and to be that obsessed with my own looks makes me appear elfish. I’m hoping she meant selfish. While looking in the mirror over the weekend, I saw a chin I had not noticed before. I was happy with the two I already had. Fortunately, that morning I saw something advertised on TV that gave me hope. Called The Miracle Neck Slimmer, it’s a device they claim was created by a world-renowned physiotherapist. I was all ears. The manufacturer guarantees a 68 percent reduction in neck wrinkles. I have achieved similar results by slinging my head back and always looking straight up at the ceiling. The results are temporary, of course, and I have slammed into several doors, but it does work. Well, I think it works. It’s hard to look in the mirror in that position. The Miracle Neck Slimmer looks like one of those slap-and-chop thingies you pound with the palm of your hand to pulverize a Vidalia onion. You place the apparatus under your chin, then bob your head up and down like common poultry. Springs in the device create tension. It’s like your neck and chin are getting a good workout on a tiny StairMaster. You can see why I was hooked. A DVD gives you directions on how to properly jog your skull to-and-fro, like you were auditioning to be a bobblehead. They also throw in an accelerator cream. It’s an anti-aging concoction, but it could be a stimulant to make your head go faster. They offer you a free second Miracle Neck Slimmer, saying it would be an excellent gift to give your spouse. Gee, what could go wrong there? “Mary Ellen, you know those luscious little neck wrinkles you have? Well, for just $19.95 plus shipping and handling…” That would make it easier for me to see my extra chins because I’d have my head handed to me.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra post proved to be perfect fit for Davis By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Alan Davis figured his Carmel Symphony Orchestra post was a good place to start as he moved from the museum MUSIC field to the orchestra world. “I thought, ‘I’ll be here two or three years and I’ll take that leap to a larger orchestra,’” Davis said. Although he has had those opportunities, Davis never saw a reason to leave. “Why would I ever leave Carmel with the support I get from everybody and The Palladium?” Davis said. “The job I thought would be a temporary stepping stone turned out to be a dream job. I loved every minute of it.” Davis, who announced his retirement earlier this year, spent 18 years as CSO’s president and chief executive officer. Davis, 69, became executive consultant when Kimberly Dimond took over as executive director July 16. Davis, who will step down from that position Sept. 28, is proud of his long list of achievements. “I’m proud the growth the organization has experienced over those 18 years,” Davis said. “We went from a small community orchestra playing in high schools and churches with a very small budget to the major regional orchestra we are today playing in The Palladium. The quality has grown over those 18 years. I wasn’t music director but I have a lot of pride in supporting that artistic growth of the orchestra. We’re much more visible now, I’m proud of that. We’ve expanded our educational offerings for kids and we’re going to do that again this year coming up.” Davis said he is proud of the staff over the years, particularly Vice President and General Manager Denise Ryan. “She’s been my right and left hand,” Davis said. On a personal note, Davis is grateful for of all the friends he has made in the community. “As I tell people, although I might sleep in Speedway, I really feel like I reside in Carmel,” Davis said. “I’ve made countless friends over the years. Those are things I’ll take

with me when I retire, all those friendships, the mayor, the city council, the township government, all of our donors and patrons. They’ve all become personal friends.” Larry Lawhead, a longtime CSO board member whose term as chairman ended June 30, praised Davis for his role in CSO’s development. “He’s a rare administrator who combined his Ph.D. musical training with administration balance,” Lawhead said. Davis, a 1967 Speedway High School graduate, returned to Indianapolis from Missouri in 1989, serving as a director of public programs for the Indianapolis Museum of

Art. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University’s music school. He received a doctorate in musical arts from Arizona State. “I want to travel some more,” Davis said of his future plans. “I’d love to go back to Italy. I’ve not seen Austria or parts of Germany, especially since the reunification of Germany. I’d like to do a little more traveling in Southeast Asia.” Frequently, Davis takes his vacation to visit a close friend in Thailand. “He gets me a condo in the building on the beach next to his place,” Davis said. “My condo costs me about $275 for three weeks. I couldn’t stay downtown Indianapolis for a weekend for that. I love the beach. I sit on the beach and listen to audiobooks on my iPod.” Davis, who started playing the organ when he was 12, has been a church musician most of his life. For the past 27 years, he has been the minister of music and worship at Westview Christian Church in Indianapolis. Davis said he still plans to attend as many CSO concerts as he can. “My heart will always be with this symphony,” Davis said. “You can’t give 18 years of your life into something and just walk away and not care what happens.”

Murray’s New Worlds postponed editorial@youarecurrent.com Because of a conflict in the artists’ schedules, The Palladium performance of New Worlds: Bill Murray, Jan Vogler & Friends, which had been scheduled for Oct. 5 at the Carmel venue, has been postponed. The Center for the Performing Arts plans to reschedule the event later in the 2018-19 season, but ticket sales have been suspended until the new date can be announced. Tickets purchased for the original date will be honored for the rescheduled performance. For questions, contact the box office at 317-843-3800. The Palladium has added a performance by the Cool City Band, featuring classic swing sounds from the 1930s and ‘40s, at 8 p.m. Sept. 7. Guests will have the opportunity to dance on The Palladium stage. A cash bar and light snacks will be available.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8235 E. 116th St., Suite 245, Fishers What to get: Marinated beef tips Price: $16.95 Anna’s take: Pure Eatery’s marinated beef tips are the embodiment of comfort food. The relatively new menu item features beef tenderloin tips, pickled banana peppers and broccoli atop a bed of rice tossed in a pepper cream sauce. I opted for asparagus instead of broccoli. The hearty meal is very filling, and the sauce has a slight kick to it. The tenderness of the meat counteracts the crispness of the veggies and the kick of the peppery cream-based sauce. Another option Pure Eatery presented me was its blackened tilapia over a bed of pearled Israeli couscous tossed in pesto and sautéed squash and zucchini for $13.95. Talk about portion sizes. For the healthier diners out there, this meal would be an excellent option with its giant slab of tilapia serving up a hefty amount of protein. The pesto add-

ed a nice nutty flavor but didn’t saturate the dish. Although the blackening spices coat the flaky white fish, the dish is not spicy. Save for a few brunch items, Pure Eatery cooks all of its menu items in olive oil instead of butter as a healthier option. Many of the menu items come with the diner’s choice of side, and all of Pure Eatery’s salad dressings are gluten-free. Pure Eatery also has locations in Fountain Square in Indianapolis and Lafayette. Suggested pairings: Pair the marinated beef tips with a Taxman Brewing Co. Deduction beer, an Ironstone Pinot Noir or a Dark and Stormy cocktail. Pair the blackened tilapia with Fountain Square Brewery hefeweizen, a Sauvignon blanc from 13 Degrees Celsius or a basil lemonade Long Island.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A beer festival featuring only firkins will be the first of its kind in Indiana when Union Brewing Co., 622 S. Range Line Rd. Suite Q, hosts the event event from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sept. 1. Firkins are beers fermented in casks and served out of the cask. Approximately 10 Indiana breweries will attend the indoor/outdoor event and offer 25 to 30 beers out of 9-gallon casks. Knepp “This is the first event of its kind in the state, a cask ale-only festival,” said Justin Knepp, founder of Indiana on Tap, which is hosting the festival with Union Brewing Co. “All these other festivals serve cold beer out of kegs, but (with firkins) the beer is fermented in these casks. It’s the craftiest of craft beer in the world, and as much as you try, no two cask beers will be the same due to the fermentation process.” All of Union Brewing Co.’s beers are cask beers. Some of the other participating breweries have brewed firkins before, but many will be doing so for the first time. “For the craft beer fans out there, it truly is utterly neat,” Knepp said. “It’s already what makes Union Brewing Co. different. There’s really not many cask ale-only festivals anywhere in the U.S.” Only 225, $40 tickets are available for the comparatively small event. For more, visit carmelfirkinfest.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: West Carmel basement transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

The goal was to create a space that the homeowners could use to entertain family and friends by adding defined spaces and storage. 1. The biggest transformation came from adding a wet bar and peninsula for seating. The new cabinetry added plenty of storage space. 2. In addition to the bar seating, bench seating also was added around the pool table near the bar area. Bench seating is a perfect hidden storage solution. 3. A theater room was created by adding a wall and a doorway with a sliding barn door. This makes it easy to close off the theater room for privacy or leave it open to the rest of the basement. 4. An entertainment system was added, creating convenient storage for the sound system, game consoles and controllers. 5. Additionally, new luxury vinyl tile replaced the carpet throughout the basement.

Background info: This home in the Long Ridge West neighborhood of West Carmel doesn’t appear to need much remodeling. The reason the homeowners were looking to remodel was not because the space was outdated but because it didn’t function well for them.

Before problems The original basement was underutilized because it lacked defined spaces and storage solutions. The layout of the space didn’t work for how the homeowners wanted to use it. The original basement used basic materials that didn’t fit the owners’ personal style.
