City of Fishers officials recently stated they would not pursue a Rails with Trails option after conducting a feasibility study and noting the additional costs. Instead, the city will continue with its original plan for the Nickel Plate Trail, which will stretch from 96th Street to 146th Street when complete. (Submitted rendering)

Parrish leads Royals to first state title By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School junior guard Sydney Parbasketball rish was already drawing national attention. The 6-foot-2 guard, ranked No. 11 nationally in the 2020 national recruiting class by ESPN, is weighing offers from Tennessee, South Carolina, UCLA, Maryland, Indiana, Iowa and Oregon. Parrish enhanced her status by scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in leading Hamilton Southeastern to its first state title in girls basketball, topping Lawrence North 55-44 Feb. 23 in the Class 4A state championship game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. “I haven’t seen any better in this state. She’s that good,” Hamilton Southeastern coach Chris Huppenthal said. “We play the best competition in the state. She doesn’t always put up 30 points, but she puts up a lot of points.” The Royals finished 27-1, previously beating visiting Lawrence North 56-45 Jan. 15. Their only loss was to Ryle (Ky.) High School.

“This is affirmation of how good our kids are, how good the program is,” Huppenthal said. The Royals have had several successful seasons, but prior to this year had only reached one semistate. That was in 2006. For Parrish, it was a dream come true. “I couldn’t ask for a better season, a better senior class and a better team,” Parrish said. “We love each other on and off the court.” Trailing Lawrence North by three points, the Royals used a 13-0 run to take a 47-37 lead in the fourth quarter. Parrish, who scored 11 in the fourth quarter, was encouraged by her teammates to take over the game. Meanwhile, the Wildcats were hampered by the loss of a key player. “We had a player (Lauren Gunn) that has played 28 to 30 minutes a game going down with a knee injury (in the third quarter),” Lawrence North Coach Chris Giffin said. “We were told she couldn’t go back in. That was a significant injury to us both offensively and defensively.” It was the Wildcats’ (22-7) first appearance in a girls basketball state title game. Lawrence North lost in the semi-

Open to the Public Organization clears misunderstandings about Fort Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence /P6 By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com If there’s one thing Fort Harrison Reuse Authority Executive cover story Director Aletha Dunston wants the public to know about Fort Benjamin Harrison, it’s that the fort is no longer an active military base. Dunston said there are, in fact, several misconceptions about the fort, an encompassing term for the 1,700-acre Fort Harrison State Park in Lawrence and the nearby business community. “I think one of the first misunderstandings is what even to call it,” Dunston said. “If you refer to it as Fort Harrison or Fort Benjamin Harrison, a lot of people think of the state park.” Dunston said the FHRA, the organization tasked with redevolping land around the former military base, simply calls it Fort Ben. “We have been using the term Fort Ben to describe it as a cultural and historic district that’s open to the public and open for business,” Dunston said. The fort was established in 1904 and decommissioned in 1995, the same year Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park was established. Prior to the decommissioning, 56th Street was a dead end. “The biggest change is that this area sits

in the center of Lawrence, and since it’s been open, since the base was decommissioned, they spent a lot of time and energy connecting this to the rest of Lawrence and Indianapolis,” Dunston said. “Coming from 56th Street, either direction would have been somewhat of a dead end. You would’ve hit military police.” FHRA Director of Operations Heather Millikan grew up in Lawrence and vividly recalls how the fort used to be when it was an active military base. “You could not go one mile over the speed limit or you would get pulled over,” she said. “I think I was 19 and trying to cut through to go to Lee Road, and I got pulled over by military police. I was going 27 in a 25. (Now), you don’t see near the military presence you used to. When I was a kid, anywhere you’d go in the Lawrence area, there were always just a multitude of uniforms. The main difference is not seeing as much of a military presence as we used to.” A little more than 25 acres remains to be redeveloped. However, the FHRA ensures all development follows signage, architecture and landscaping standards for the historical area. “Signage is allowed but it has to be extremely sensitive to the area,” Dunston said. “The biggest thing is you can’t change the exteriors very much, as far as replacing

windows. The windows have to be replaced with a similar type of window. (Those standards) are for the western third (of the Fort Benjamin Harrison area). The middle third is a mix of historic and new (development), and the eastern third is under a different planned unit development and is established to give more of a nod to history more than a replication.” Dunston said the former base, which was only used for military training, is of historic

significance because of its proximity to an urban area. It was never a proving ground for heavy munitions or missile testing. “It’s very unique to have an area redeveloped here in an urban community so close to a major metropolitan area,” Dunston said. “That gives us the opportunity to redevelop this as a mixed-use area where people can work and live and visit and eat,” she said.

Do the math

Green New Deal needed for climate

Commentary by Terry Anker Our daily lives are overflowing with data. Yet, in a somewhat alarming development, most of us are more confused than ever. How do we make sense of the competing, incongruent and often intentionally openended assertions in which modern society finds itself steeped? How do those “in-the-know” arrive at their assumptions? How do they use the information to find their assertion of outcome? The challenge here is that most talking heads foist upon the unsuspecting and willing public equations of “how to fix the world” with too many unknown variables. Every eighth-grade math student will tell you that such cannot be resolved. First, one must know which elements are required, then conform to a definition for each, and finally determine a specific outcome that we might hope to reach if we solve the equation. For others to understand our thinking, one must begin from a place that assumes the position of the listener, not the speaker. If the listener does not have enough information, wouldn’t it require that the speaker include it in the originating message? One should identify all the variables and then, in time, solve each before turning in the assignment. Understandably, some don’t want to do the homework. They push the problem-solving responsibility off to the reader. Open-ended equations invite further interrogatory and leave too much to assumption. If we were to review our messages in advance of sending them from the perspective of the reader, how much could we improve our communication? And, if we spent a bit more time on designing the equation before attempting to solve it, would we get to better outcomes? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Sweet dreams aren’t made of this Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know what is going on inside my head lately. I had a dream last night that went from my grappling with humor a personal case of head lice while babysitting a couple of pre-teen strangers to me at a parade where deceased friends and family were stopping to say hello. I didn’t awake until the zombie horde forced a semi off a bridge next to where I was standing. I asked my husband Doo what he thought these visions meant, and he responded with a short monologue of Sigmund Freud emphatically telling him to “Get out. NOW.” Hilarious. Doo also reminded me that I had left a bathroom drawer open, wide enough so that when he stumbled in this morning, he clocked his left thigh so hard he now has a noticeable bruise. I vaguely recall rummaging for Advil around 4 a.m. while peering through a window to determine if a tornado

was afoot. I guess the screaming wind and the dead-people visits distracted me from closing up shop, so to speak. All this is to say that clearly I have too much on my plate, at least subconsciously. As I type, I am mentally listing today’s “chores” along with work and family “stuff” that needs to be addressed in the near future. But what’s a mom to do? Ignore parenting, wife-ing, teaching, cleaning, managing, shopping, disciplining, exercising, planning, living altogether? I’m certain the spicy food and the devil/ vampire shows aren’t helping, but in my defense, have you watched “Lucifer” yet? Terrible, but oddly alluring. So, I’ll just have to deal with the crazy dreams and hope life settles soon. Peace out.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.” – St. Catherine of Siena

Editor, I’m a senior, age 71. I probably won’t be around when the worst effects of climate change take effect but my children and especially my three grandchildren will be. However, climate change is happening here and now - and for them, I’m terrified. The latest climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN) says we have approximately 12 years to transform our economy to preserve the stable climate human civilization has depended on for millennia. As a retired scientist myself, this is not some BS dreamed up by wildeyed liberals and elitists. We need a massive mobilization of every sector of society on par with what science and justice demand. A Green New Deal will keep Americans safe from climate change and create millions of green jobs. Indiana is already a leader in green job creation in the Midwest. We can take our expertise and ingenuity and put it to great work for the planet. Other nations, including China and India, are rapidly moving in this direction. We must, too. The Green New Deal is a common-sense policy that is already popular with the American people, regardless of political party. Steve Simon, Ph.D., Westfield

MICHAEL FEINSTEIN WITH CARMEL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Sat April 13 at 8pm // The Palladium

AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Mary Ellen and I are going to South America this fall and we decided we both should learn a little Spanish. I ordered humor some language CDs but was having serious problems memorizing the vocabulary, so I got a stack of sticky notes and labeled everything in the house, like the chair (la silla), the table (la mesa), the door (la puerta) and the mirror (el espejo). In Spanish, nouns are identified as masculine or feminine. This confounded me in high school and accounted for my low grades. The teacher said I had some gender confusion, which was the last thing I needed to hear right before I asked Darla to the senior prom. When Mary Ellen got home and saw the notes, she wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t as ticked off as our cat (el gato) Angel, who kept walking in circles because of the sticky note on her tail. Angel also was unhappy to learn that “el gato” is a masculine noun. I tried to explain to her that there wasn’t a neuter pronoun, but that brought back a lot of bad memories for her. At breakfast, Mary Ellen and I compete

to see who is making the most progress, but we are using different learning aids, like when we took dancing lessons and we each had our own teacher. We were dynamite with our own instructors, but dreadful together. I realized Mary Ellen was only memorizing expressions that had practical value for her on the trip, like, “Ricardo, quiero ir a una tienda con ropa exclusiva.” I later found out this meant: “I want to go shopping at an exclusive clothing store.” My only retort was using words I learned the previous night: Mi elefante tiene dos hermanas (My elephant has two sisters). I think my wife will be able to employ her language skills better than I will. Mary Ellen and I have been having a lot of fun learning a new language. However, we do have one concern. In a happy marriage like ours, the phrase, “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” should not be uttered in every conversation.

This protects your organs by keeping them warm. To counteract this, stay well hydrated and increase your activity level to improve circulation. Source: health.com. New radiation technique — For patients with cancer of the left breast, radiation therapy can be dangerous because it exposes the heart and lungs to radiation. New research shows that holding one’s breath during radiation can push those organs out of the way and protect them. A machine assists with the process so the patient breathes properly.

Tea – contains polyphenols that suppress arthritis inflammation 2. Vitamins C and D

St. Yared’s adds food truck By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Patrons of St. Yared Ethiopian Cuisine & Coffeehaus, 11210 Fall restaurant Creek Rd., may notice a large, colorful food truck in the parking lot. Owner Etenesh Abebe and her husband, Haile, bought the truck in June 2018 and have been working ever since on some mechanical issues. The truck still needs a few fixes in its internal kitchen operations, and then it will be sound to travel. “The reason why we decided to add a food and coffee truck dimension to our business is so that we can reach out and serve the people of Hamilton County,” Etenesh said. “Primarily, we are especially interested in serving the retirement home communities, but over time, we hope to take part in festivities at churches, schools, the (Geist) Marina, farmer’s markets, weddings and neighborhoods.” The Abebes plan to get the truck on the road at the end of April or early May. The truck will offer Ethiopian cuisine and coffee, with a smaller version of the menu at

Artist fired up for Ignite residency By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi is an accomplished painter and art instructor who has studied under makerspace some of the nation’s most renowned artists. Yet, she didn’t take up painting until after the birth of her first daughter. That was 25 years ago, and her life hasn’t been the same since. “My mother was taking art lessons at the time and had an easel set up in her basement in Cincinnati,” Pomeroy Parssi said. “We were visiting, and she could see that being a new mom was a bit stressful for me, so she told me to go downstairs and try my hand at painting. I had never picked up a brush in my life but spent the entire night painting. I was hooked. “Shortly thereafter, I left the corporate world to pursue art full time.” An Ohio native who moved to Fishers in March 2018, Pomeroy Parssi is the Ignite Studio Maker-in-Residence for March through June. The studio is at the HSE Library in Fishers, 5 Municipal Dr. Although painting is her specialty, Pomeroy Parssi is a multi-medium artist with an extensive teaching background. “The Ignite Studio residency will allow me to do what I love best, share my passion for art with others,” she said. “I have been teaching after-school art for students in grades K through 12 for the past 14 years, so this is a natural fit for me. “I also love the space. It is an incredible asset for the community, and I hope more people learn about its existence.” Open to kids and adults, the Ignite Studio maker program is a slate of planned monthly artwork activities directed by the Maker-in-Residence. All events are free, and all supplies are provided. Pomeroy Parssi’s residency officially begins March 9, starting with a “Meet and Greet and Make Your Own Mandala” from 2 to 4 p.m. A complete event calendar can be found at https://bit.ly2Xa9lbv. Some activities require registration and have limited class sizes. “It’s not often that an opportunity like this presents itself, and I am extremely grateful that Ignite selected me to be

their Maker-in-Residence,” said Pomeroy Parssi, whose credentials include studying with noted artists Graham Nickson, dean of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, and Miraslav Antic, instructor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Morever, Pomeroy Parssi - who has lived in Michigan, Chicago and, most recently, Florida - established the Global Arts and Painting & Drawing programs for young artists at the Arts Academy Summer Arts Camp in Interlochen, Mich., where she was a faculty member for five summers.

Pomeroy Parssi looks forward to imparting her knowledge during her Ignite Studio residency. “My teaching method includes helping students understand and appreciate the origins of various types of art so they feel a connection to the project they are working on at any given time,” Pomeroy Parssi said. “I don’t simply show students how to create art. I teach them the proper methods and help them develop a sense of ownership in each piece of work they complete.” For more on Pomeroy Parssi, visit her website at jpparssi.com.

HSE presents ‘Mamma Mia!’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As soon as co-directors Ethan Mathias and Mary Armstrong learned “Mamma Mia!” was available for licensing musical for schools and amateur theater groups in 2018, they were eager to secure it for Hamilton Southeastern High School students to perform. “We had all enjoyed seeing the professional production and tour and knew that it would be a great fit for our program when the rights were finally released,” Mathias said. Performances will be at 7 p.m. March 7, 8 and 9 in the school’s Leonard Auditorium. Ava Gerber plays Donna, the mother of Sophie who is getting married in Greece. Sophie invited three men from her mother’s past in hopes of finding her real father. “I’ve always loved the movie and I’ve seen the show live and I was really excited when they announced we were going to be doing it,” Gerber said. Gerber said she really only knew the ABBA songs that are in “Mamma Mia.” Sophomore Annie Cushman plays Sophie. “I’ve seen the movies many, many times,”

Ava Gerber, left, and Annie Cushman appear in Hamilton Southeastern High School’s production of “Mamma Mia” (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

Cushman said. “I really like the songs ‘Name of the Game’ that I sing with the dad, and ‘Under Attack’ is my nightmare scene. That was a little more challenging. It’s really fun to sing. ABBA songs are upbeat. You can’t help smile when you sing them.” The students playing the men in Donna’s past are: Matt Iacobucci as Sam Carmichael; Tadd Nyland as Bill Austin; and Sam Jones as Harry Bright. Mathias’ wife, Devan, and Elizabeth Pike are helping with choreography. Zak Tschiniak leads the pit orchestra. For more, visit hsedrama.org.

Charleston’s

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14636 Greyhound Plaza, Westfield What to get: Cheeseburger Price: $13 Anna’s take: Growing up, my family always loved to visit Charleston’s for a special occasion, dressing business casual instead of just casual and ordering something we wouldn’t typically order. It was a treat, and I always ordered the chicken piccata. What I’ve come to realize in my adult life is Charleston’s, especially the bar area,

is a great place to hang out with friends or frequent by yourself. The low-lit bar creates an atmosphere of comfort, which many bars don’t have. The bartenders really make an effort to get to know you, and the gentleman who served me didn’t forget my name during my stay. Kind of ironic, then, that I’ve forgotten his. To fit my more casual setting, I ordered the cheeseburger. I suggest shoestring fries as your side. Suggested pairings: The Whiskey Twist is a cocktail of Jameson Irish Whiskey, sweet and sour mix and fresh blackberries. It’s refreshing, light and pairs great with the burger.

Behind bars: Mrs. Collins Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.25 oz. Hanger Rose Vodka, .75 oz. St. Elder, .5 oz.

Here’s my point Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt “Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald grammar guy Ancient Romans used all capital letters, no spaces and no punctuation. Can you imagine that? For a civilization that gave us concrete, the book and the calendar system we still use today, you’d think they would have thrown in a period at the end of a sentence every once in a while. Legend has it that the exclamation point has its origins in the Middle Ages. At the end of a sentence in which a medieval copyist wanted to indicate or emphasize joy, he would write the Latin word “io,” which means “joy.” Over time, the “i” moved above the “o” and the “o” became small enough to become a point, evolving into the exclamation point we know and love today. There’s an episode of “Seinfeld” where Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend after he doesn’t use an exclamation point when writing down a phone message for her. A Plenty of Fish Conversation Nation 2018 survey found that “58 percent of singles say bad grammar is a bigger turn off than bad sex.” Especially in an age where texting and messaging account for much of the communication between potential love matches, grammar and punctuation play a significant role in your love life. So, what’s my point, already? Should we use exclamation points or should we practice total exclamatory abstinence, as F. Scott Fitzgerald suggested? According to the AP Stylebook, we should “avoid overuse of exclamation points. Use to express a high degree of surprise, incredulity or other strong emotion.” Here’s my point on exclamation points: Don’t go crazy with them. In the same way that bolding an entire section of text, therefore, makes nothing important, dropping in exclamation points all willy-nilly makes you look like a person who has had a few too many espressos. Never use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence; it’s just unnecessary. Doing so takes your rhetoric to DEFCON 1 and makes the reader think there’s a giant asteroid hurtling toward Earth. I suggest discussing exclamation point usage early on in a relationship so that you can weed out someone whose punctuation habits are compatible with yours.

Treaty House in Waitangi, New Zealand. (Photo by Don Knebel)

New Zealand’s historic house Commentary by Don Knebel The Treaty House in Waitangi, New Zealand is the nation’s most important historical structure, even though it was imported from Australia. Documents still travel important to the nation’s original people were signed there. In about 1300 A.D., Polynesian seafarers first settled in what is now New Zealand. When Europeans arrived, descendants of those original settlers had divided into not-always-cooperative tribes, collectively known as the Máoris. In 1833, England dispatched James Busby to the Bay of Islands to represent British interests in the international trading activities that had developed around a port in the area. Busby soon learned that the Máoris were being precluded from participating in this lucrative business because their ships did not fly a recognized flag. In 1834, Busby invited 25 Máori chiefs from the North Island to his small frame residence, fabricated in Australia and shipped in sections to the port. The chiefs selected a flag comprising a cross and four stars on a blue field. Busby then drafted a hand-written document recognizing NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS OF HEARING ON PROPOSED CUMULATIVE CAPITAL FUND FOR THE CITY OF FISHERS, HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of the City of Fishers, Hamilton County, Indiana, that the Common Council of the City of Fishers will consider at City Hall One Municipal Drive Fishers, Indiana 46038 at 7:00 o’clock pm on Monday, March 18, 2019, the establishment of a Cumulative Capital Development Fund under the provisions of Indiana Code section 36-9-15.5 for all applicable uses stated therein. The tax will be levied on all taxable real and personal property within the taxing district and will not exceed $0.05 per $100 of assessed valuation. The proposed fund will be levied beginning with taxes due and payable in the year 2020. Taxpayers appearing at such hearing shall have the right to be heard thereon. The proposal for establishment of the Cumulative Capital Development Fund is subject to approval by the Department of Local Government Finance. Within 30 days after the date of the adoption of the cumulative fund by the City of Fishers Common Council, the Common Council will publish a Notice of Adoption. Upon publication of the Notice of Adoption, fifty (50) or more taxpayers in the taxing district may file a petition with the County Auditor not later than noon 30 days after the publication of the Notice of Adoption setting forth their objections to the proposed fund. CITY OF FISHERS /s/ Christopher P. Greisl City Attorney One Municipal Drive Fishers, IN 46038

The United Tribes of New Zealand as an independent state, authorized to fly the new flag. On Oct. 28, 1835, 34 Máori chiefs signed what became known as the Declaration of Independence on the grounds of Busby’s house. In 1840, Busby brought the tribal chiefs back to his house, where, as leaders of The United Tribes of New Zealand, they signed the Treaty of Waitangi, establishing New Zealand as an English colony and granting perpetual rights to the Máoris. The Treaty House has been restored to its original condition and includes a museum describing the events that took place in and around the house. The flag of The United Tribes of New Zealand flies from a flagstaff on the grounds, erected where the historic documents were signed, accompanied by the Union Jack and the flag of New Zealand.
