Hamilton County Jail addition opens By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Inmates at the Hamilton County Jail recently shifted to a new facility add-on that nearly doubles the space of the jail. On June 28, Hamilton County GROWTH officials cut the ribbon on the $13.5 million, 40,000-square-foot expansion at the correctional campus on Cumberland Road after more than a year of construction. The expansion adds 120 beds in 38 prefabricated steel pods in the first of two phases. The first phase also includes classrooms, restrooms, medical support areas and a central command center that overlooks the pods. For more than three years, the county has been challenged by overcrowding at the jail after House Bill 1006 went into effect Jan. 1, 2016. The bill requires counties to incarcerate Level 6 felons rather than send them to state prisons. In 1993, the Hamilton County Jail was built to house 296 inmates. Today, it houses nearly 400. Thousands are processed through the facility each year. “I was first elected as a county commissioner in 1989, and at that time, this correctional facility basically had one building on it, the old jail where the detectives are right now,” Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said. “In 1993, we built the new jail, and then in 2008 we built on to that facility. In 1989, our population in Hamilton County was about 80,000 people. Now, we’re at 300,000-plus. You don’t have to be an Einstein to know it’s hard to keep up, not only with our infrastructure, but also with our correctional facilities.” Since the latter half of 2015, the county has worked to rearrange inmates in existing facilities to ease crowding, resulting in the decision to move female inmates to the juvenile center and move juveniles back to their former facility in 2017. “In 2006, we built the juvenile detention center,” Dillinger said. “We had spent a lot of time, effort and money researching what we should build, and we built it to facilitate a lot of juveniles and to help other counties put their juveniles here. Unfortunately, after we had that built, the laws changed, the judges changed, and all the sudden, we weren’t

keeping juveniles in it.” The newer juvenile center became underutilized after a change in the law allowed more juveniles to serve time through home detention. As a result, the juvenile inmates are incarcerated in the original juvenile facility. Relocating the female inmate population to the newer juvenile facility freed up space in the primary jail until the expansion was built. “We were kind of disillusioned with that, but it turned out to be a pretty good deal,” Dillinger said. “Now that the legislature makes us keep Level 6 felons in our facilities, you can understand how that would put a heck of a strain on jail.” The expansion adds 120 beds in the section that opened July 8. Phase 2 will add 130 more beds in the new building. A timeline has not been set for the second phase. The expansion raises the adult capacity of the jail to 537, including the female inmate population. As of press time, the inmate count was 405. Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush said his No. 1 goal is to keep Hamilton County as safe as

possible. He said he looks forward to expanding opportunities to reduce recidivism. “The expansion also allows us opportunities to provide pathways for reformation and restoration for our inmates,” he said. “I’m a strong believer in justice but also in mercy and compassion.” Quakenbush said two new classrooms in the expansion allow for GED training and other workforce training classes that give inmates an opportunity to plan their lives after completing their sentences. Quakenbush said he is proud of the county’s relatively low inmate population compared to its overall population. “Hamilton County has seen explosive growth over the past 20 years, consistently rated in the top-growing communities in this nation,” he said. “Despite that, we’ve been able to maintain it as one of the safest as well. Even though we are the fourth-largest county (in the state), we are ranked No. 9 in state prisoners and 18 in the number of local prisoners.”

Woman moves to Fortville, starts business

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Emily Snider left Broad Ripple nine years ago in search of COVER STORY land to plant a large garden, she found what she was looking for in tiny Fortville. A few years later, she grew a new business in town, Emily’s Backyard Blooms. “Everything just took off after that. I was pretty good at it. I was good at growing things and starting vegetables and flowers from seeds,” Snider said. Last year, Snider, a 36-year-old Master Gardner, set up her own table at the end of her driveway selling plants. Andrea McCaughey, creator of the Old Mill Flea Market in Fortville, saw her stand and approached her about setting up a stand at her inaugural market, which started this year. “I’ve had people walk by (my market booth) and say, ‘Hey, are you the lady that sold on (Ind.) 13?’” Snider said. “I know people who go to the market just for plants and to come see

me, which is nice.” In time, Snider’s business blossomed into floral arrangements for weddings and offering workshops. For one bride, she’s growing a certain type of dahlia from seed to be used in the bridal bouquet. “Those are starting to take off,” Snider said of the arrangements and workshops. “I’m getting ready to do a few more workshops here in town – a succulent class, a flower-arranging class, a flower crown class.” Snider said she and her husband, Jason, moved to Fortville specifically for the smalltown feel and expansive garden space. “I’m originally from Plainfield and I lived in Broad Ripple in a tiny little house that I couldn’t garden in. I had a couple containers on the front porch,” Snider said. “We wanted a more relaxed atmosphere. We were tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and we wanted to be able to know our neighbors, whereas in the city people came and went and you never got to know your neighbors truly that well. We wanted space where we could have a yard.

“I didn’t know I was going to be getting into all of this. This has blossomed from liking to garden to, ‘Hey, I kind of want to pursue this.’” The previous owner of the Sniders’ home also was a Master Gardener. Snider, who saw old polaroid photos of the former owner’s sunroom and backyard, recently completed training to become a certified Master Gardener. Snider calls her gardening a side gig. She works in technology at McCordsville Elementary School, where she assists students with their iPads and Chromebooks. She eventually wants Emily’s Backyard Blooms to become her full-time vocation. “I actually am able to bring my love of gardening to my school. I’ve worked with my librarian and built a huge terrarium in our library,” she said. “The kids love it. I’m working with one of the teachers to get a gardening grant. We are the only elementary in our district that doesn’t have a community garden.” For more, visit Emily’s Backyard Blooms on Facebook.

BECOMING A MASTER GARDENER Emily Snider recently completed training to become a Hancock County Master Gardener. She has already enjoyed more success when growing her plants. “The reason I wanted to was I’ve always just gardened with, not necessarily dumb luck, but trial by error,” she said. “I never knew why I was doing what I was doing. I just put plants there and didn’t know about soil and lost a lot of plants that way. I wanted to know the science behind things and wanted to know what to do to make certain flowers grow. I wanted to learn more of the science behind it, so for four months every Wednesday from 6 to 9 (p.m.) I took classes at the 4-H extension office.” For more on becoming a Master Gardener, visit hancockmga.com.

ESSAY

LETTER

Language lineage

Brebeuf story falls short

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor’s note: This letter was written in response to a recently published story titled “Brebeuf Jesuit alums support school’s refusal to fire gay teacher” Editor, I’m a member of the vibrant surrounding Catholic community. I take issue with the misleading and inaccurate headline and the presentation of this controversial topic which fell far short of presenting a complete understanding. The responsibility for this controversy is being unjustly assigned to Archbishop Thompson, not to where it appropriately should be, Brebeuf. The relevant issue is this: A Catholic school’s obligations to teach the faith clearly and without contradiction. The archbishop is responsible for holding the schools within his jurisdiction to account for this principle. Brebeuf, Cathedral and all private Catholic schools must require their employees to abide by the requirements set forth by the bishop. Brebeuf leadership chose not to do so and must suffer the consequences. Secondly, the three men expressed belief that the Church can change its teaching on marriage; however, it is grounded in natural law and therefore cannot change. Further, the opinion of a non-Catholic alumnus seems odd and irrelevant to the topic. Mary Jeanne Kurdys, Westfield

It seems that we humans like to distinguish ourselves from other, slightly older humans in a multitude of ways. We wear different kinds of clothes. We eat different kinds of foods. We listen to different kinds of music. And, we each hang on different, and supposedly much cooler, words. Sure, there is some overlap. Society would cease to function if each successive generation were to completely reinvent our civilization. Still, in the eternal wrangling for dominance between the three or four distinct generations that populate this planet at any given time, we sometimes use language not to advance clear communication but as a weapon to exclude and maybe even to shame folks with whom we’ve not shared the hipster decoder ring. To be on the inside of any group gives us a sense of belonging and power. OK. We have called ourselves tuned-in. We have called ourselves hip. We have called ourselves woke. At each of these junctures in history, someone would clumsily assume hip to be a body part and tuned-in to be something one might do on a radio. We planned to accomplish just that outcome. It gives us a chance to sneer at the wisdom accumulated by years on the planet. Such is the lineage behind the ministers of “wokeness.” To be woke is alleged to be alert to injustice, especially to race. Good, we could all stand to improve. Yet, woke, like much of this kind of jargon, scolds even as it is vaunted as transcendental. Can we hope to awaken to a better understanding of ourselves and each other if our lingo makes it clear that there are insiders and outsiders?

Photographic memory Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My wife was looking through my smartphone to find a photo I took on a recent vacation. HUMOR “Do you ever delete any of these images?” she asked. “You have a lot of really weird stuff in here.” “Don’t erase anything!” I told her. I’m becoming more forgetful, so I take pictures of almost everything. Mary Ellen and I went through my phone together to discard any unnecessary shots. She said this would give me more memory, but she was referring to the phone, I’m pretty sure. The first thing we did is delete the six closeups of my foot. Not sure how that happened. “OK, Dick. Here’s an album full of photos of old to-do lists. Why are you saving those?” “That’s in case I have the same things to do another day. I can just copy and paste. There should be a folder full of different grocery lists in there, too.” “This image of your computer keyboard, is that so if you have to replace it, you can show the sales clerk what order you want the letters in? This photo of the list of all your passwords will be handy if someone finds your phone and wants to share in our life savings. And who are these people I don’t recognize?” “Mary Ellen, I took their pictures so I would remember them.” “Who are they?” “Either the folks I play pickleball with or new reporters at Channel 8.” “But you still don’t know their names?” “No, but now I’ll at least recognize them when I see them, and I’ll know for sure whether I’m at work or the YMCA.” “Dick, here are several pictures of an old man with thinning hair and a double chin.” “That’s probably my friend Luke at the nursing home.” “Nice try. They’re the worst selfies I’ve ever seen.” She continued, “I’m seeing lots of photos of an attractive redhead. Is something going on behind my back?” “Very funny, Mary Ellen. I was standing right in front of you each time I took your picture.”

Similar to automobile tires, eyeglasses neither are made nor perform VISION the same ways. Sure, you can put four round blobs of rubber on the rims of your car and go. But if it’s raining at night, do you really trust the cheapo “donut tires,” or would you feel more comfortable having invested in a 50,000-mile, all-weather, super-tread tire for your family’s well-being? Just like tires, there are hundreds of variables and thousands of options to choose from with respect to eyeglass lenses. So, where do you begin? There are two basic ways to fabricate prescription glasses: digitally surfacing or hand grinding. Most glasses are handground quickly, efficiently and economically. There is nothing wrong with this method of lens production, and more than 90 percent of all lenses are made this way. It allows the consumer to have glasses “in about an hour” and/or to have significantly reduced pricing because they are mass produced. Digitally surfaced lenses, however, take

much longer to produce since they are all customized to the individual patient’s needs, and the lenses are laser etched. Cost, of course, goes up with customized products, but for those who want the clearest and crispest vision, this is the only way to “see the world.” It’s simple math. With hand-shaved lenses you can only produce lenses with .25 accuracy. With digital lenses, you can achieve clarity and precision down to 0.01 accuracy. Simply put, you can watch the same movie on VHS or in Hi-Definition on Blu-Ray. Same movie, but the experience is completely different. Do you prefer pictures taken with an iPhone 10x or an original 1.1-megapixel flip phone? We all understand how technology can make things clearer, but most aren’t aware that the technology exists in glasses. How do you want to see the world? Tell your optometrist.

ATI’s SOAR program helps students learn all aspects of professional theater By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Hannah Luciani is completely sold on the value of Actors Theatre of Indiana’s education program. THEATER Luciani, who will be a Zionsville Community High School junior in August, took part in the first SOAR Professional Development program in January and February. “I absolutely love the education programs at ATI and think they are doing a fabulous job with preparing and propelling their students for the world of professional theater,” Luciani said. “Like me, the other eight kids I was surrounded by during the SOAR process were extremely passionate and utterly devoted to theater. We all had to learn from each other, work together, take master classes, observe professional rehearsals, put together a showcase and compile scenes and songs. If it sounds like theater geek heaven, it’s because it is. After my first experience with SOAR had finished, I immediately asked if there was a way for me to continue being a part of SOAR, and/or the education program, because I felt like I had benefited so much from it.” So, when she heard ATI was doing SOAR this fall, she immediately knew she wanted to be a part of it. “I feel like I have so much more to absorb and I couldn’t think of a better place to learn from besides an education department that creates a home and cares so much for its students, such as the one at ATI,” she said. SOAR, part of the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Student Theatre Education Program, is designed for youth ages 13 to 18 who are interested in pursuing professional careers in arts or theater, Amanda Boldt said. Boldt and Katherine Clemons, who runs the program, are ATI co-eduction directors. Both still perform as well. The program starts Aug. 20 with interviews being conducted in August. Registration ends in early August. Students get to meet the cast of ATI’s

“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and watch rehearsals, tech and dress rehearsal. “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” runs from Sept. 6 to Sept. 29 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “They come to the opening party, like they are a part of the show,” Boldt said. “While they are doing that, they also take master classes from actors and all different people in the industry. Then, they have rehearsals to put on their own showcase at the end of the program.” Boldt said they invite college representatives from area schools and talent agencies, so the students have an opportunity to display their talents. The showcase is Sept. 28 at the end of the six-week program. Most of the sessions are from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday nights. Previously called the ATI Immersion Experience, the program was rebranded to SOAR. Boldt, a 2013 Carmel High School graduate, said there is an interview and audition process for applicants. Seventeen applied and nine were selected. “We want them to be able to take on the responsibilities that we are going to

give them with the program,” Boldt said. The program is capped at 15 students so they can receive personal instruction. Clemons said the biggest thing they learned from running it the first time was they needed more time for the program. “We told them it was going to be very fast-paced and it was almost too fastpaced, so we made it one week longer,” Clemons said. “That way they would have another week to get their showcase performance down and sell it. We try to have the kids pick something outside of their comfort zone so it will show them how strong their abilities are to do different things.” In addition to working with the actors in the show, choreographer Carol Worcel will teach dance to the students. There is a mock audition day where ATI co-founders Don Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins give the students feedback. Nick Carpenter, who teaches adult improv classes, is brought in for a class. “It’s one of the first classes to really get the SOAR kids loosened up and ready,” Boldt said.

Behind bars: The Hamilton County Smash

Commentary by Mike Gillis Address: 13521 Tegler Dr., Noblesville What to get: Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Price: $10 Mike G’s take: When you walk into The Odyssey, it’s luxurious. The interior design creates an ambience that is second to none in the area. Its menu is extensive, and I had the opportunity to try a variety of items. The Thai Pineapple Fried Rice was my favorite! The presentation and sweet and savory taste made this the most unique rice I’ve ever had. The sweet pineapples and the rice with soy sauce are mixed with chicken, pork and shrimp. If you’re a seafood fan, you would appreciate the Seafood

Claypot ($18), which is a combination of jumbo shrimp, scallops, green mussel, calamari and lobster meat simmered on low heat, served in a clay pot and a side of rice. In addition, the fresh sushi rolls were really good, ranging from standard and specialty rolls to omakase platters. While enjoying the dishes, I washed them down with a boba tea customized with my fruit flavor choices. To wrap everything up, I got the tiramisu for dessert. It’s safe to say I’ll be going back. There is something on the menu for everyone with a variety of dishes, flavors and prices.

Get it at 1205 Distillery, Indianapolis Ingredients: • 1 oz. 1205 New American Gin • 1 oz. 1205 Rhubarb Liqueur • .75 oz. simple syrup • .75 oz. fresh lemon juice • 3-4 mint leaves Directions: Combine ingredients in a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating space in Westfield laundry room Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The wall shared between the laundry room and the pantry was moved to provide more pantry space and allowed the washer and dryer to be repositioned for better accessibility. 2. Furniture-grade cabinetry in a soft blue was installed to the ceiling. Special features like roll-out trays, a trash bin pull-out (used for dog food!) and pants racks, cleverly utilized for hanging tablecloths, made the finished solution truly unique. 3. The quartz countertop tapers out from the doorway, allowing for maneuverability and accessibility to the refrigerator. 4. A gorgeous, fully tiled wall and a beaded chandelier were the final touches that turned this once mundane space into a beautiful, functional retreat. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This 2006 home is in Westfield. The homeowners rely on the extra storage found in their laundry room, which is conveniently located next to the kitchen. The extra space is needed for everyday use and when they play host to friends and family.

THE CHALLENGE At just more than 150 square feet, this is an elongated space with unusual angles. The existing refrigerator had to remain because it was sized to hold platters used for entertaining. The homeowner also wanted a solution for storing her extensive collection of table linens.
