Mayor Scott Fadness speaks on the new trail. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

City of Fishers unveils trail plan By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers unveiled the Nickel Plate Trail Master Plan development 2040 prior to the Feb. 18 city council meeting at Launch Fishers. Nickel Plate Master Planning Committee co-chair and Fishers City Council member John Weingardt referred to the trail as a “linear park.” After a brief introduction about the trail, a video about the process of gathering public input was shown. According to Weingardt, there were 30 opportunities for community engagement, which elicited more than 1,500 responses. “Our goal is not only to create a unique pedestrian experience for residents in Fishers, but we want to create an experience unlike anything in the Midwest or the world, for that matter,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said in the video. Trail amenities include a viewing deck at the 96th Street intersection near the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport; adding lighting and technology to the tunnel under 116th Street; innovation coves for collaboration along the trail near the Hamilton East Public Library; sculptures; a boardwalk along the trail near Launch Fishers; recreation places for teenagers; kindness rocks; and a treehouse and outdoor fitness opportunities, among other features. “Parks are not what they used to be. This

is the park of today,” NBBJ Design Landscape Architect Tony Murry said. In the video, Launch Fishers founder John Wechsler compared the trail’s master plan to a business plan. “This is an example, I think, of what happens when a city acts more like a startup,” Wechsler said. The master plan could take up to 21 years to complete. It is not yet in design phase, and more feedback from the public will be requested in the coming months. The plan to convert the Nickel Plate Railroad into a 9.2-mile trail from 96th Street to 146th Street in Noblesville was originally announced in 2017. In late 2018, Fishers announced an approximate 4 percent tax increase. Between 1 and 1.5 cents of the tax would fund the first phase of the Nickel Plate Trail, which would stretch from 106th Street to 126th Street. A tunnel will pass under the 116th Street intersection. The first phase of the Nickel Plate Trail is expected to cost approximately $9 million. Trail input came from the public. Many of the ideas were offered by Hamilton Southeastern Schools students. Fadness presented a certificate of appreciation to the students for their involvement. The city will break ground on the pavement portion of the trail in the fall.

IU analyst: Indy area lags in growth By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Indiana University Public Policy Institute Senior Analyst Drew Klacik onezone accepted an offer to explain why Indianapolis was not selected for Amazon’s headquarters or operations center. Klacik addressed the issue at the Feb. 13 OneZone luncheon at Ritz Charles in Carmel. Amazon originally planned two headquarters but canceled its plans to put one in New York City the day after Klacik’s talk. There are still plans for a headquarters in Arlington, Va., near Washington, D.C. Nashville, Tenn., was previously selected for an operations center with 5,000 jobs. The Indianapolis area was one of the metropolitan areas under consideration. Klacik said the Indianapolis area was most likely being considered for the operations center, which wasn’t previously announced as part of Amazon’s plan. “We’ve made a lot of progress since 1984 in central Indiana,” Klacik said. “But in many ways, the progress has been made by individual communities and individual structures. All those individual victories haven’t added up to make a dramatic difference rela-

“We have to do a better job of convincing people we are in a very innovative part of the country,” he said. “I suspect Amazon knew that, and part of the reason we were on their list. We’re an awesome producer of talent. We are not as good at retaining that talent. We have to convince our people to stay.” Klacik said the Indianapolis area should do a better job of making its case that convenient and affordable is an attractive place to live. Klacik’s final point was: “We have to stop being other places and be the best we can be.”

tive to other places.” Klacik compared the Indianapolis-metro area to metro areas of Nashville, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, N.C., Austin, Texas and Columbus, Ohio. “Only Milwaukee and Pittsburgh grew slower between 2011 and 2016 than we did (in population),” Klacik said. “We are growing our share of people with a bachelor’s degree slower than other places. Typically, it’s easier to grow faster when you have less.” Klacik said Indianapolis is in the middle as far as job growth. Klacik said studies show the Indianapolis area is growing jobs and has productive workers, but low wages. Unfortunately, Klacik said the Indianapolis area is better at growing poverty than most of its counterparts. “We grew poverty by 6.3 percent at the same time Denver reduced poverty by almost 20 percent,” Klacik said. What is it about us that Amazon had us on their list despite (that) everything looked so awful to me?” Klacik said firms look for talent in the region, not city or county. Klacik said the challenge for Hamilton County is, how does it help the other areas improve their numbers?

When he’s not at the gym, he rides horses and walks or runs 4 or 5 miles in Holland Park in Fishers. He plays volleyball with a team of men on Monday nights. “You can see me all hours of the night and day, in bright orange shorts and white hair, running,” he said. Gauger still visits schools to educate students on organ donation. He stresses the importance of being a donor and reminds people they can donate organs while they’re still alive. “I enjoy going to schools talking to the kids. You won’t believe how many kids are on board with their driver’s license,” Gauger said. “I keep telling them that’s a good deal, but we have to wait until you die to get your organs. You’d be amazed how many kids are on board. We just need to get the word out more.” Gauger said when a donor dies, their body can be used to save or help 75 people. Transplant Life Foundation Senior Consultant Tricia Behringer said she enjoys watching Gauger participate in the Games. “It is quite an honor to watch Duane at the Games. He embraces everything that the Games are about,” she said. “It’s not unusual for others around the country to ask about, ‘That guy from Indiana that has a ton of med-

als around his neck.’ What I appreciate most about Duane is that he lives and breathes what the Games are all about every day of his life, not just at the Games. Duane is a true testament to the selfless act of being a living donor. “He has spent every day since sharing his story and showing the world that living donors can continue to have not only a very healthy and successful life, but perhaps even a more fulfilling one after being a living donor.” For more, visit transplantgamesofamerica. org.

Stay busy?

Commentary by Shelley Carey

Commentary by Terry Anker Busy, busy, busy are we. We scurry about like some echo of our prehistoric progenitors, knowing that only the most tenacious and hard-working will survive the harsh realities of a violent world. The early bird gets the worm, we are reminded. Good. Even in a time of such global abundance (the World Bank and others of that ilk report poverty rates at a fraction of those 100 years ago in spite of a stunning increase in population), we — well, most of us — are loath to sit around. Where conversations may have once centered on the speed we might see to retirement, now many are imagining a working lifestyle well into their 70s and beyond. “I’d like to work less” say some. Or, “I’d like more control over what I have to do.” But for many, the clarion call has become, “How many times a week can I really enjoy playing golf?” The point may be a good one. And aside from those of us who’ve suffered setback or circumstance, an extended existence of commerce or professional volunteerism may be on the docket. Growing life expectancies predict we are going to live longer, and more full and heathy lives, than any group of humans to previously populate this rock, Earth. But with this new longevity comes a handful of contemplations. Is our hanging on keeping someone else from the job? For us now, at least, unemployment rates in Indiana suggest there is plenty of room in the workforce for seniors. How do we hope to live? There are more options for active adults now than ever – with many providing if one spouse is ambulatory and the other not-somuch. What do we want? If we can stay busy, should we? Must we? Many of us seem to think so. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

Have toddler, will travel Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s been a long time since I’ve traveled with little ones. But I was reminded of what a true nightmare hauling todhumor dlers cross-country can be when my youngest sister visited our snow-birding parents in Tampa, Fla., and I thought those of you still in the trenches could probably use a good giggle. Enjoy! The day started badly, with our hero waking up late and arriving at the airport with less than an hour to spare. Not a huge deal if you’re by yourself, but a potential game-ender with a rugrat in tow. To make matters worse, she’d mistakenly booked a single ticket, assuming her 2-year old would ride in her lap. The Southwest agent immediately informed her that because her son was older than 2, she would have to purchase an additional seat for $400 each way. Luckily, my sister works in marketing and was able to charm her way into a reasonably priced companion ticket. With precious minutes lost, they made

their way to security. My nephew has a medical condition, though, that requires a whole slew of equipment. Thus, a short visit with TSA agents was impossible. The next thing my sister heard was her name being paged over the speakers as her gate was closing. Imagine a strung-out mother sprinting through the terminal, dragging several heavy suitcases with one hand and pushing a janky-wheeled stroller with the other. No sweat for this supermom, and with the help of compassionate attendants who worked some festival-seating magic on a sold-out flight, she and my nephew actually enjoyed an uneventful trip to Florida. Hope you can’t relate! Peace out.

Q U O T E  O F   T HE WEE K “If you want something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. -Thomas Jefferson

I am the proud granddaughter of immigrants from Croatia and opinion Poland. I’ve never worried about completing a U.S. census, unlike my grandparents and countless other immigrants who came here for a better life. I’ve never worried about how I voted as I understand the power of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights set in place in 1791 to make sure we don’t evolve into any form of autocracy. I am a descendant of immigrants – as are most Americans who came here to seek a better life. For those exploited because they lack the credentials, the pedigree of power and wealth – stay the course. Each generation builds on the one prior through education, hard work and an unfailing belief that our nation is a beacon of freedom. Believe in one another as Americans – united under one flag – not a “red” flag or a “blue” flag, a Republican or Democratic flag, but the United States of America’s red, white and blue flag. BIO: Shelley Carey is a lifelong Democrat who grew up in Gary and moved to Chicago after college. She works for Carmel Clay Schools as an educator. She is married with two stepdaughters and lives in Carmel.

Back pain is the second-biggest reason that people do not go to work in the morning. The first reason is not havhumor ing a job. Recently, I’ve been going to a chiropractor who uses the traditional approach practiced by the Mafia for generations: They rough me up, inflict pain and then take my money. It was time for a different approach. Irwin, my new physical therapist, instructed me to stand as I normally do when I talk to someone. He prefers to observe his subjects in their natural setting. This sounded like Jane Goodall justifying her first expense report. Suddenly, I became extremely self-conscious. My body has a number of extremities that pretty much fall into place when I’m chatting with someone. I don’t think about where to put my right leg or how to position each arm during a discussion. I just start yacking away, although I do try not to put my foot in my mouth. When I got into my normal posture, Irwin shook his head. “You lean too far to the left,” he said, which is exactly what WIBC said to me in

l995 when they fired me from my talk show. Then, Irwin put me on the massage table and rotated my head and neck to assess my range of motion. “I don’t think your spine has a good relationship with your legs,” he commented. If there had been any conversation between the two, I would have overheard it. To improve my posture, he suggested I walk with my arms at my sides, with the palms of both hands facing to the front, opened wide and turned skyward. I tried this while I was strolling downtown later that day. It felt odd, but I scored some loose change from sympathetic pedestrians. Irwin told me to imagine there was a string running through my spine that went through my head to the ceiling, and then when I walked, to also concentrate on putting pressure on my big toes. My next appointment is with a neurologist. Not for my spine, but because I walked head-first into a wall.

Six weeks of sailing set at ISC editorial@youarecurrent.com There’s something for sailors at any level at this year’s Indianapolis Sailing Club camps. Across six weeks, campers ages 8 to 17 can learn the ropes of sailing on Geist Reservoir. Children are grouped according to age and experience, and each sailor is placed in single- and double-handed boats for lots of on-the-water learning experience. The goal of the course is to develop an appreciation for sailing and is designed to teach basic sailing techniques and water safety for the beginners and lead into racing and higher level techniques for the more advanced. Staff from ISC will use the U.S. Sailing instructional system.

Classes begin with land-based discussions and demonstrations followed by on-thewater instruction, where skills – like upwind sailing, downwind sailing, reaching and docking – are covered. Additional activities like swimming, weather awareness, knot tying and on/off water-related games are conducted throughout the day. As the classes progress, instructors may begin introduction to racing if campers show interest. Those interested can sign up for multiple camps, which are one-week long, running June 5-7, 10-14, 17-21, 24-28, July 8-12 and 15-19. Each day the camp will last seven hours, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To download registration forms or learn more, visit indianapolissailing.org/camps.

‘Cat in the Hat’ becomes annual affair for Civic cast, director By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Matthew Altman relishes his annual appearance in “The Cat in the Hat.” “I enjoy being with a hilarious play group of actors who can put forth focus and fun into this production,” Altman said. This will be the sixth consecutive year Altman has appeared in Civic Theatre’s production of “The Cat in the Hat” at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The fantasy tale follows a talking cat’s visit to the house of two bored children on a rainy afternoon. The production runs from Feb. 26 to March 7. “It gives new life and energy every time we do it,” Altman said. “Our director, Anne Beck, has trust in us to give our best and craziest performance, all while honoring Dr. Seuss.” Altman, a Carmel resident, performs as Kitten and Thing 2. “Playing to a children’s audience, they give more audible reactions, which give us terrific feedback,” Altman said. “(It) also helps maximize our energy on stage.” Altman has previously performed in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and “Hairspray.” “I’m very glad to be representing people of color on stage, along with my co-star Jonathan Studdard (Indianapolis resident who plays The Cat),” Altman said. “It’s very important to have children of color see people who look like them represented on a stage. I’m very grateful to Civic for the opportunities and freedom they allow all of us to have to perform.” Beck, a Fishers resident, said the cast varies year to year. “Last year, we had five new to the show,” Beck said. “This year, we only have one new actor to the show. We are thrilled this year to add well-known professional local actor John Vessels to our production.” Vessels, who plays the Fish, recently performed in “Ruthless! the Musical” for Actors Theatre of Indiana. Beck’s daughter, Nya, also appeared in “Ruthless!”

From left, Jonathan Studdard, Betsy Norton, David Cunningham, Matthew Altman and Elisabeth Speckman appear in “The Cat in the Hat.” (Submitted photo).

Beck has directed “The Cat in the Hat” all six years. “The show is fast-paced and super engaging and fun,” Beck said. “The actors, together with myself, can’t help but keep fun alive as we tell the story. It is always fun to create a little mischief, and each new cast member brings a new and differ-

ent energy to the group, so they learn to play in fresh ways.” Beck said she looks forward to the show each week. “Knowing how kids react and their audible giggles still tickles me six years later anticipating how this show affects them. They love it,” she said.

Moontown Brewing Company

Moontown Brewing Company’s Smoked Pork Green Chili Nachos are stacked with toppings on vibrant blue tortilla chips. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 345 S. Bowers St., Whitestown What to get: Smoked Pork Green Chili Nachos Price: $14 Anna’s take: This was my first time visiting Moontown Brewing Company, and it lived up to my expectations. The brewery is super cool and the ambience is warm and inviting, unlike some breweries that seem stark and overly modern. I sampled several dishes, starting with the pickle platter ($7). It included a spicy pickled egg, pickled cauliflower and carrots and a pickled avocado, which I had never tried before. I love anything pickled. I then sampled the tossed Caesar salad ($10 for the half-size) with a dressing made in-house. Next, I

tried the Smoked Pork Green Chili Nachos, featuring cotija, sharp cheddar cheese, pickled onions, jalapenos, cilantro and sour cream atop vibrant blue tortilla chips. Next, I ordered the brisket sandwich ($14). This is something I think everyone should order at least once in their life. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender and stacked high on a bun slathered with horseradish aioli and topped with shaved white onion. Get it with a side of mac and cheese. Suggesting pairings: I sampled several of Moontown’s brews, but my favorite was probably the Hippie Royalty IPA, a bold pale ale with what Moontown describes as “an aggressive citrus and resinous hop character, balanced by a slightly sweet caramel malt character.”

Behind bars: Renaissance Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 2 oz. Tito’s vodka, .75 oz. limoncello, .5 oz. Blanco vermouth, 1 oz. prosecco, lemon swath Directions: Combine vodka, limoncello and vermouth in a shake tin. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass, top with prosecco and garnish with a lemon swath.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for entertaining in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

The Solution

After

Before

With the removal of the wall between the kitchen and living area, we were able to give these homeowners the kitchen of their dreams! 1. New cabinetry takes full advantage of the 11-foot ceilings and accommodates the oversized refrigerator. Clever pullout shelves and organizers keep things accessible. 2. The stunning granite on the oversized island and countertops carries into the living room, where it’s installed around the fireplace. 3. Oiled hardwood flooring provides water-resistant durability for wet feet coming in from the pool and requires only annual maintenance. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit caseindy.com or visit us at one of our three locations in the metro area.

Background: Located in Fishers’ Gray Eagle neighborhood, this home was built in 2001. The homeowners, who enjoy entertaining, were looking for an update to their floorplan to better welcome their guests.

the challenge In order to create the open floorplan, our team had to remove a weight-bearing wall and replace it with a ceiling support beam. The family enjoys their swimming pool in the summer months, so durable, water-resistant flooring was a must.
