Republicans support gas tax hike By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Four Republican state lawmakers explained why they are in favor of increasing the state gas tax at a town hall-style transportation meeting Jan. 26 in Carmel. State senators Luke Kenley and John Ruckelshaus and state representatives Donna Schaibley and Jerry Torr gathered at the Carmel headquarters of Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group known for opposing tax increases, to answer questions and share why they believe a tax hike is necessary. State representatives have proposed House Bill 1002, which would increase the gas tax by 10 cents per gallon and cap additional annual increases at 1 cent per gallon. “We have not had an increase in the gas tax since 2003, which means we’ve actually had a decrease in the gas tax every single year since then in terms of its purchasing power,” Kenley said. The state gas tax is currently 18 cents per gallon. Without action, Indiana will have a $1 billion annual road funding deficit over the next 20 years, according to Kenley and Ruckelshaus. Kenley, a 25-year Senate veteran, said he ran for re-election in 2016 in part because he believes finding a solution for long-term road funding is “so important.” “Indiana cannot afford not to do this and do it right,” he said. “Our economy depends on good roads. We are the Crossroads of America.” AFP opposes an increase in the gas tax. It advocates instead for all gas tax revenues to be spent on roads and bridges, freezing state spending and using a projected $1 billion tax revenue increase to pay for road repairs. “The feel around the state is if we know that this revenue is going to roads, then we would be willing to pay a little bit more,” AFP State Director
Justin Stevens said. “That’s the sentiment I’m getting, but that’s not currently what’s happening.” Kenley said he’s hesitant to commit all gas taxes to road and bridge repairs because the state would have to find ways to pay for other needs currently funded in part through the gas tax, and that would likely lead to another tax increase down the road. Torr agreed. “Sales tax is a broad tax, just like income tax, and if you do decide you’re going to dedicate 100 percent of that sales tax on gasoline to roads, that’s fine, except somewhere you’ve got to make it up,” Torr said. “It’s really easy to say that we can cut spending, but we have a very lean budget in Indiana.” Schaibley said increasing the gas tax to fund road improvements makes sense because it’s a user fee. “I firmly believe the people who are using the roads should be paying for them,” she said. Not everyone in the audience agreed. Melba Kiser of Noblesville said a gas tax hike is unfair to people like her husband, whose jobs require that they spend much of their time on the road. “The decision to drive is not an option. It’s a necessity,” she said. “There are many people with modest incomes who have to drive long distances in order to make a living. It is a significant burden on someone who is at a medium to low income.”
HB1002 In addition to raising the gas tax, as of Jan. 29 HB1002 would: • Increase alternative fuel decal fees by 50 percent • Establish a $15 transportation infrastructure improvement fee with vehicle registration • Establish a supplemental registration fee of $150 for electric vehicle registration • Ease restrictions on establishing toll roads

Residents attend Ind. 37 meeting By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The third public meeting for the Ind. 37 reconfiguration project updated business and homeowners on the $124 million, update five-overpass project between 126th and 146th streets Jan. 30. Troy Woodruff, vice president of operations for the RQAW Corporation, said the next phase of the project is the environmental hearing April 18. Plans have been submitted to the Indiana Dept. of Transportation. Woodruff said INDOT’s comments and concerns have been addressed with the design. In addition, next phases include moving forward with road and bridge design and right of way impacts. “There are important things to think about with these meetings,” Woodruff said. “We listen to these comments. There was a comment made at the last meeting about taking the gravity line further up 141st Street to where a church is and going back through the empty lot tying into Weaver Creek. We try to incorporate those things. That idea came from somebody in the crowd last time, and it’s not a bad idea. We probably needed to consider that. These meetings are important.”
A public hearing was held Jan. 30 and updated business and homeowners on the Ind. 37 overpass project spanning between 126th and 146th streets. (Submitted rendering)
One of the next steps also includes maintenance, such as which lanes and shoulders to shut down at which times during construction. Drainage, hydraulics and detention needs also are being considered, and ground samples are being taken. “Plans are around 30 percent complete, so we are a third of the way there,” said Eric Farny, project manager for American Structurepoint. “Plans are still in the conceptual phase. There is still room for us to make improvements and talk to you guys and get some feedback on things you like or don’t like.” For questions or more information, contact Sr37@fishers.in.us.

Teachers among state fellowship By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Teach Plus, a national nonprofit organization that empowers teachers to lead improvements in policy and practice, reEducation cently selected 20 Indiana educators as recipients of its Indiana Teaching Policy Fellowship. During the fellowship, teachers will learn about government policies related to education while also lending their voices to state legislation. Abby Taylor, second grade teacher at Geist Elementary School, and Carmen Napolitano, chemistry and physics Taylor teacher at Fishers High School, were among the 20 teachers selected. Napolitano wanted to learn more about policies as they relate to education, because it’s not something he’s dealt with prior to working with Teach Plus. “Right now, we’re being trained in how education policy works and how the whole process works,” he said. “Then we’re going to be breaking out into three working groups. We’ll
be dealing with three different policies that are at the state level at this period in time.” This is the first year the fellowship is offered statewide. Previously, it was limited to Marion County. Teach Plus wants to include many different statewide viewpoints on education. “I think it’s important because so often teachers aren’t brought to the table on a lot of policy,” Taylor said. “It’s a big honor because this is the first time it’s been statewide. We’re getting the voices of many teachers across the state.” The fellowship seeks to give teachers a voice in the Napolitano policies that will be directly affecting them and their students. “Our job really, no matter what working group you’re in, is to get teachers’ voices heard in those discussions. So it’s not just policy makers making decisions but that teachers are actually having an impact into how those decisions are being made,” Napolitano said. For more, visit teachplus.org.

Rose authors Pony Express novel By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Gordon B. Rose has always loved westerns. He has an autographed picture of Roy Rogers on the wall in his den. “I have a picture of John Wayne Books and a real cowboy lariat and hat on the wall,” Rose said. So once he got bit by the writing bug, it seemed natural the Fishers resident would write “Ride, Cowboy, Ride.” Rose said it is based on a historical story of the Pony Express during its 19 months of mail service starting in 1860 with some fictional characters. Rose, who turned 80 Jan. 13, first did a small printing for friends and family. “People told me you really need to get this one published,” said Rose, who finished the book early last year. So, he did. It was published by WestBow Press in last fall. “The story is the fictional first rider on the Pony Express, and he falls in love,” Rose said. “Romance appeals to women, and it really is a beautiful part of the story.” Rose, who had never written before his retirement, worked as a field engineer for NCR for more than 30 years before AT&T had a hostile takeover. He received his pension and

separation pay and then worked in banking for several years before retiring. “I still mow lawns to keep busy,” Rose said. Rose and his wife, Star, have six children and 18 grandchildren in their blended family. Rose worked for several years to produce “Just Passin’ Through,” his life story. “I wanted a record for my kids and grandkids,” Rose said. “There are questions I wanted to ask my dad and grandfather, and I can’t because they’re gone.” A friend from church encouraged him to write more because he had a gift for interesting writing. He wrote two more small books, “Uncle Ben and Me” and “My Son, My Son.” “Ride, Cowboy, Ride” is available on amazon. com, westbowpress.com and barnesandnoble. com.

Dillinger: ‘Most solvent county in the state’ By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce again hosted Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger’s State of the County address as part of its monthly chamber of commerce luncheon series Jan. 25 at Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville. Chamber President and CEO Bob DuBois said the event sold out with 235 guests. This year, Dillinger spoke for less than 30 minutes, rounding up the successes of 2016 and highlighting some of the county’s upcoming projects for 2017, which included: FINANCES Dillinger “We have about $38 million in the general fund and about $13 million in the rainy day fund,” Dillinger said. “So, we’re sitting on about $51 million. We are probably the most solvent county in Indiana … very honestly that’s largely due to our county council, which is in charge of that.” IND. 37 PROJECT “We are in the process of redoing all of those intersections very much like Keystone, from 126th Street to, ultimately, State Road 32,” Dillinger said. The project would be a complete overhaul of Ind. 37 through Fishers (Phase I) and Noblesville (Phase II), which will run the highway underneath elevated, dog-bone style roundabouts at each cross street – 126th, 131st, 135th, 141st and 145th in Fishers and Greenfield Avenue, Town and Country Boulevard, Pleasant Street and Ind. 32/38 in Noblesville.
The expansion of the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center in downtown Noblesville would consolidate several county offices. (Submitted photo)
Dillinger said Phase I would cost approximately $115 million. The environmental study on Phase I has been completed. Rightof-way and land acquisition will begin in April. Dillinger said the likely first two intersections to be constructed would be 131st and 141st streets and would be complete by 2019. GOVERNMENT CENTER EXPANSION “(The Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center) was built in 1992, and it was projected to last 20 years. It’s already lasted 25,” Dillinger said. “With the county going at the pace it has … we need to expand. It will be anywhere from 78,000 to 100,000 square feet. We will be consolidating a lot of the offices that need to be integrated that are currently housed in the old courthouse – the auditor, the assessor, the treasurer and the recorder.” Dillinger said those offices would most likely be located on the first floor, the courts would be on the second floor.
RIVERWALK PROJECT “I’ve been talking about this for 14 years, but Noblesville finally finished the north side, and the county finished the south side, and now we’re getting ready to do the part that I was most interested in, which was the Riverwalk behind the government center,” Dillinger said. “This is an additional pedestrian crossing … construction is underway. We broke ground this fall, and this project should be finished by 2018.” TOURISM “People don’t think much of tourism in Hamilton County,” Dillinger said. “The economic impact for tourism in Hamilton County is over $613 million a year.” The following tourism statistics reflect 2015 and run one year behind: • Jobs supported – More than 13,000 • Tax revenue – Nearly $100 million • Annual growth (2015) – 11.9 percent (State of Indiana’s rate was 3.3 percent.) JAIL, CORRECTIONAL CAMPUS AND JUVENILE CENTER “We have a jail capacity at around 294 (inmates). We are running now at as much as 400,” Dillinger said. “That is not a good thing. It creates a lot of safety concerns.” Dillinger said the likely solution to overcrowding at the jail would be to relocate female prisoners to the under-utilized juvenile detention center, which can house up to 78 juveniles but only regularly houses 8 to 13. Dillinger said juveniles would be relocated to the former juvenile facility, which is being remodeled.

Touseull captures Mr. Royal By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Kip Touseull had always been a fan of the Mr. Royal competitions. “I thought they were super award funny, so I really wanted to do it as I had a chance,” he said. However, he never expected to win. “I was just getting ready to clap for whoever it was. I did not expect my name to be called at all,” Touseull said. Touseull was crowned Mr. Royal Jan. 26 in the 14th annual show for senior males at the school’s auditorium. “We did a group dance at the beginning and the crowd was really into it,” Touseull said. “All the contestants were up on stage, and it was cool.” Touseull said he was friends with about half of the 14 contestants. “But now I’m friends with all of them, and I know them very well,” Touseull said. “They’re all super nice guys.” For the talent portion, Touseull put some songs together, including Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and danced to it.

Reversing stigma
COMMUNITY
City works to change views of mental illness with help of on-call specialists and more By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Emergency Medical Services staff aiding mental health crisis patients now have more guidance. Instead of EMS taking the person straight to the emergency room, cover story Community Health will serve as a connection with the city to provide information on how best to handle the situation or even speak with the patient themselves. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said that in terms of the city targeting mental health issues, 2016 was more of a “downstream” year. Fadness and Fishers Fire Dept. Chief Steve Orusa said they’ll be working upstream this year. “Basically, the first year of this initiative was all about learning about mental health and learning about systems that were or weren’t in place in the City of Fishers and develop a plan to fill the gaps,” Fadness said. “A lot of efforts this first year were making sure that our first responders were well-equipped and well-enabled to deal with those folks and help those folks,” he added. Orusa organized several objectives last year, and Fadness said a high percentage of those objectives were accomplished in 2016. One objective was the establishment of the Mental Health Task Force. “A lot of those objectives focused on schools, such as when a student gets immediately detained then released to go back to school. There were gaps in services to those students,” Orusa said. “Other gaps were police and fire crisis intervention training that gives us tools to approach and de-escalate mental health services versus taking them to the emergency room.” Various behavioral health specialists will be available to first responders dealing with a mental health crisis if needed. Fadness said last year, more than 10 deaths in Fishers were due to suicide. “Community Health Network is excited to be working with the City of Fishers to support the Fishers Mental Health Task Force,” Suzanne F. Clifford, senior vice president of Integrated Primary Care at Community Health, stated in an email to Current. “Together, we are making progress training the public safety team, partnering with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, and supporting people in crisis. We look forward to working with the people of Fishers to focus on prevention and early

intervention to achieve our goal of zero suicides and ending the stigma of mental illness.” “Paramedics for decades could call for medical consultation in coaching for cardiac and trauma calls. Now, in February, we can actually call a behavioral health specialist and have that person in the (mental health) crisis talk to them with technology over an iPad, and we can determine the outcome,” Orusa said. “Instead of bringing that person to the emergency room, we can bring them to Community Health. It opens up a vast menu of services for people with a variety of mental health needs.” In addition to preventing people from reaching a mental health crisis in the first place, Fadness said Fishers is focused on becoming stigma-free. “It’s still a taboo subject for some people,” Fadness said. “It makes them uncomfortable, and we want to make sure people are open to having a conversation with folks about issues of mental health like they would with someone who broke their arm. Hopefully, we will inspire those living in quiet despair to step forward and get the help they need.” Fadness encourages residents to sign the Stigma Free Fishers pledge at fishers.in.us/stigmafreefishers. “We had not developed any systems or focused attention or efforts on issues of mental health and suicide, and it accounts for more death than what most people focus on, like homicide or even car accidents,” Fadness said. “It’s a responsibility of my position and the city, regardless of the issue. If it affects the wellbeing and safety of the residents, it’s upon us to address it.”

Law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services staff attended a 40-hour training for mental health crisis intervention. Fishers Fire Dept. Chief Steve Orusa and Mayor Scott Fadness traveled to New York City to speak with various public health officials from across the nation about Fishers’ initiatives.

Legislature: Make a choice Is infrastructure the new battle cry for increased taxes? The liberals have global warming as a key arrow in their quiver to raise taxes and to institute regulations. And now, Republicans have decided they, too, need their own arrow, and it just might be infrastructure. They think raising taxes for infrastructure improvements is an innocuous approach for the exercise. We know Republicans don’t really believe in all the smaller government/less spending blather they’ve espoused for years. Granted, Republicans serving in our state Legislature are far better at managing a budget than are the Republicans serving in Washington, but that’s quite a low bar. We’re disappointed our legislators have started to embrace an increase in our gasoline tax before actually debating it; they seem in absolute pain to raise those fees. Just wait; if it happens, some of those dollars will go toward funding mass transit, to which, you might know, we are opposed for our region. The larger question becomes this: Why is the General Assembly not negotiating with Washington? Of every gas tax dollar sent to Washington’s “highway account,” Indiana is returned 92 cents. Can we get someone in the Statehouse fighting for the rest of us? Or maybe use the state’s surplus (yes, we have been over-taxed) to fly President Trump here on Air Force One to negotiate the deal … in about 15 minutes? We think it’s time legislators prioritize the spending of our tax dollars. Maybe they need say we can have infrastructure spending or we can have early childhood education, but we can’t have both.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commonplace miracles Editor’s note: This columnist’s essay in the editions of Jan. 31, was, indeed, in reference to the inauguration, not the subsequent women’s march. To read that column, please visit www. youarecurrent.com.
Commentary by Terry Anker Former President Ronald Reagan called it a “commonplace occurrence.” Yet he took careful note that, “In the eyes of many in the world, this every four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.” Sure, we have contentious, long and expensive campaigns. We divide ourselves into all manner and sort of identity groups. If no real distinction exists, we scurry about eager to create new categories to be celebrated, protected, attacked and over-generalized. We vote to, at long last, break from it all, return to the mundane and sublime realities of our own lives. We relax a bit. We breathe The pause gives us much-needed opportunity to gain perspective, even if the fervent protests of a few linger beyond the
November end-point. Do we believe, or simply hope, that our protagonists will boldly carry our aspirations now that we have bestowed them with power? Or, do we regroup to organize resistance and plan for a replacement? Regardless of our personal position on the current state of leadership, most of us find other things to do once an election has passed. But in the imperial city we call our nation’s capital, the courtesans scramble for standing in a new order. Filling luxury airport lounges and seated at the Round Robbin Bar in the famed Willard Hotel, the K Street consultants, lawyers, lawmakers, professional protestors, media and other elites scheme and cajole to find favor and seek advantage. Political theater is played in acts. As one ends, another begins. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
– Frederick Douglass
I turned 45 last week. Four. Five. Sounds old when I think about it, which has been a lot recently as I’ve battled humor a cold while failing miserably at juggling my knives of work, kids, Doo and ever-present dirty dishes. But here’s the thing, I don’t feel old. I don’t feel like I’m at the half-way point of life; that the next four decades are going to suck now that I need reading glasses and calcium. I actually feel great. I’m for the most part healthy, strong and on occasion even the teeniest bit wise. I know I’d much rather be 45 than 25, and with my children mere steps from being out the door, I’m truthfully looking forward to my 50s (because according to the commercials, once I’m AARP eligible, I’ll spend all of my time traveling to exotic locations, spoiling precocious but adorable grandkids and either fishing with Doo or playing bingo with galpals. Can’t wait!). Part of this youthful “spirit” is the fact that both my parents and Doo’s are still looking good in their 70s. Thanks to hair dye, fitness programs and bionic body parts, “the elderly” don’t appear to be so. I’m not saying that they aren’t old, because believe me, they definitely are (smiley face emoji), it’s just that relative to memories of my own grandparents, Mamaw, Judge, Grams and Pops, are not only still in the game, but playing really well. And if they’re not calling for subs yet, then I sure as shoot won’t either. Go team! I’m also lucky to have two outspoken daughters who don’t think twice about announcing that my clothes are “so last season” or that my makeup is “not on point.” I credit them with keeping my often questionable “style” at least in this decade. And my sons make certain I’m always abreast of the latest tech gadgets, “must-watch” shows, and mom-appropriate slang. Basically, I have handlers that keep me young, even if it’s only to ensure I don’t embarrass them in public. So bring it on, 45. I’ll be one step closer to bingo. Peace out.

All the news that’s fit to sprint Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen has a Fitbit to keep track of her walking. I am not a walker myself, although I have walked back on several humor promises I made when we got married, as well as three New Year’s resolutions. That’s about as much exercise as I’m comfortable with. I do walk to my office every day (it’s not my fault I work from home) and I walk to the pro shop to get my golf cart. Oh, and to the garage to get on my riding lawn mower. Maybe I don’t give myself enough credit. The NASEWA (National Association of Something Else to Worry About) recommends 10,000 steps a day, something most people won’t consciously do. Unconscious exercise sounds a lot less strenuous. We had trouble getting the Fitbit and the laptop to sync, so we called Kevin, our tech guy. Kevin is used to dealing with people who sit in front of a computer all day, and he thought that helping them set up their Fitbit could lead his clients to begin a physical fitness regimen — leaving less time for them to download viruses and malware, the bread and butter of his repair service. “I can’t find your dongle,” Kevin said to Mary Ellen as he fumbled through the Fitbit box.
“Does your husband have one?” I didn’t know what a dongle was, but I’m pretty sure in Yiddish it’s a dirty word. I learned that it’s a small plug-in that allows electronic devices to communicate with each other. I’d always called it a thingamajig. Soon, Kevin got everything to work. Everything. “Did you get a good night’s sleep?” I asked Mary Ellen the next morning. “Let me check. It says I did, but for some reason I’m exhausted.” I reminded her that the Fitbit vibrates on the wrist as a warning if you haven’t moved for an hour. We had no idea how to turn that application off. I told Mary Ellen she needed her sleep to be more restless. Yeah, I actually said that. I don’t want a Fitbit of my own. Instead, I plan to follow my wife around. I’ll never reach that 10,000 goal, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Quote scripture Commentary by Mike Colaw Quote scripture ... What does that mean? For some, it is simply the act of speaking Bible verses at someone from a distance. Sadly, many religion don't even quote the Bible well. Some even take Bible verses out of context to support a non-Biblical personal agenda. To “speak” scripture should literally be the act of bringing the ways and nature of Christ to life. Being a fan of Jesus does not necessarily make you a Christian. Saying things that Christ said does not necessarily make you a Christian. When Christians speak scripture, they shouldn't just repeat what scripture says, they should actually give time, talent and treasure to bring the ways and nature of Christ to life in the world around them. For example, if you feel strongly about standing up for those with little or no voice, like unborn children, immigrants, refugees or those with disabilities, to speak scripture you can’t just feel bad for them, or quote scriptures about their plight. You are called to bring
the ways and nature of Christ to them. To be Christian means to be an agent of bringing Christ’s ways into this world. Until you speak by doing you’re not really speaking at all. The list goes on. If we are going to mirror the intention of Christ's teachings, we can't stay distant. Speaking scripture means living scripture. So, let's talk about actions. I get it. We are products of our education system. Sit still, listen and repeat the information well for an "A." Christ didn't teach his disciples that way. Learning Christianity meant practicing being Christian. The disciples spent time with and ministered to the poor, the dying, outcasts and the outsiders as the means in which they learned how to be Christian. Speaking scripture is being scripture. Christian, are you living worthy of the name you carry? Are you speaking scripture with the time, talent and treasure Christ has given you?

2016 home sales up 5.2 percent Commentary by Jim Litten F.C. Tucker Company’s monthly real estate market stats indicated a strong finish to 2016, with home sales up 5.2 real estate percent for the year and December 2016 sales up 5.3 percent compared to December 2015. Likewise, the average year-to-date home price for the 15-county Central Indiana region rose 3.4 percent to $188,616. Hamilton County’s pended sales increased 5 percent in December 2016 compared to December 2015. Prices have also increased by 3.7 percent over last year to an average of $288,336. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 4.9 percent in December. • In Fishers/Geist, the average home sales price increased 1.7 percent year to date to $270,185. • Inventory moved at a quicker pace in Fishers/Geist in December 2016. Overall, homes sold in 61 days – two fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Fishers/Geist had slightly fewer options available to them. Last month, 396
homes were available for sale – five fewer homes compared to December 2015. • Pended home sales have increased in Fishers/Geist. In December 2016, 111 homes sold – an increase of 19 homes compared to December 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/Geist last month, one was priced more than $2,000,000; three were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; nine were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 24 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 37 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 35 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and two were priced below $99,999. “Positive consumer confidence has buoyed home sales through the end of 2016. Looking ahead to 2017, we expect to see 50 percent of the market made up of first-time homebuyers and anticipate many of the boomerang buyers, who lost their house in the Recession, will step back into home ownership.”

Investors, forget emotions Commentary by Joe Clark The 45th President of the United States of America was inaugurated last month. Now, more than two months after the your money electoral outcome was announced, emotions remain high among the populous. But in the business world, there is a budding sense of confidence and excitement. Years ago, our new vice president advised me, “Do not argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel.� Vice President Mike Pence and I were both talk radio hosts and his guidance was sound. Before the advent of social media, there was a lapse between when a public figure commented and when the press responded. Those days are behind us and new communications technologies are driving a changing of the guard. What does the changing of the guard have to do with investing? Like it or not, President Trump enjoys a good “tweet.� Certain industries, actors and leaders have been in the crosshairs of his tweets from time to time and many question whether the tweets are un-presidential. Regardless, President Trump may have changed the landscape of the country faster than any predecessor, simply by putting his agenda out there
on social media. The president is literally buying ink by the proverbial barrel faster than CEOs or Congress can respond through conventional methods. In the last week, car manufacturers pledged more than $5 billion of investments in U.S. plants and new jobs. Yet less than a month ago, GM’s CEO said the company would move ahead with plans in Mexico. Either they will do both or things have changed. It’s simply hard to ignore thousands of retweets by constituents and car buyers supporting his agenda. Congress will have a difficult time saying they don’t know what their constituents want when the message is spelled out in 140 characters. The world – not just the president - has changed, along with the way we communicate and express our opinions. As investors, forget your emotions and recognize our new president can and already is moving the needle.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Carmel Arts & Design District on Feb. 11 news@currentinwestfield.com The Saturday before Valentine’s Day will be a romantic evening in the Carmel Arts & Design District. On Feb. 11, there will be a Valentine’s holidays trolley available from 5 to 9 p.m. The free trolley will take riders around Main Street and through the heart of downtown Carmel. It’s a way to beat the cold or rest your feet as you explore places to shop, browse and dine on a Saturday evening. Live music will take place in many of the art galleries along Main Street and the galleries will keep later hours so families, friends and couples can stop in to see the numerous arts exhibits and works by local artists. Many of the pieces are for sale for a quick Valentine’s gift. To help guide people on their walks, there will be a scavenger hunt with prizes available. Each participating gallery on the scavenger hunt will have roses available for attendees as well.
Need more ideas on what to do on a Saturday night in the Carmel Arts & Design District? Check out some of these places. • Enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine at Peace Water Winery (37 W. Main St.). In addition to its intimate indoor space, its outdoor dining has heaters to keep you warm even in February. They don’t serve food but you can order carryout from many nearby restaurants such as Bazbeaux Pizza (111 W. Main St.). • Sample some beers at The Pint Room (110 W. Main St.). The Carmel location offers 124 drafts, and at any time there are 50 to 70 local Indiana tappings, including beer, cider and mead. The Pint Room even offers something for the kids, which is a draft line of non-alcoholic root beer. • Enjoy a romantic dinner at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant (9 W. Main St.). For Valentine’s Day and the weekend before, Donatello’s will be offering specials on sparkling wine, fresh seafood and housemade desserts.

Dispatches ISO brings Teddy Bear Concert Series to Carmel — At 11 a.m., March 4, the Indiana Symphony Orchestra will bring its popular Teddy Bear Concert Series to Carmel. “Giant’s Violin” will be performed at the Carmel Clay Public Library. The ISO launched the free series in 2014 in Indianapolis and continues to expand the program to more central Indiana locations. Enthusiasts can follow Leonard “Leo” Bearnstein, the Teddy Bear Series mascot, on Instagram. For more, visit IndianapolisSymphony.org. ‘Abstract Painting in Europe, 1949-1968,’ this spring at the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University — From March 11 to May 7 the Eskenazi Museum of Art will present ‘Abstract Painting in Europe, 19491968,’ curated by Jenny McComas, the Eskenazi Museum of Art’s Curator of European and American Art. The works in the exhibition were created between 1949, the year that saw the division of Germany into East and West, and 1968, a year marked by civil and political unrest across the continent, from student and worker uprisings in Paris to anti-Soviet protests in Prague. Ten paintings from the museum’s permanent collection representing artists from Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Hungary and Poland will be on view in the exhibition. For more, visit artmuseum.indiana.edu.

Dancers to perform in ‘Anastasia’ By Desiree Williams Dancers from Dance Magic Performing Arts Center will travel to Paris to reunite Anastasia and her family on stage when they perform in “Anastasia,” which opens at 3 p.m. Feb. 11 at event Warren Performing Arts Center, 9500 E. 16th St. “Anastasia” follows the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia who was orphaned as a child and, haunted by memories of her family, longs to find a way home. Linda Rees, DMPAC owner and artistic director of the show, has wanted to produce “Anastasia” ever since Disney released the movie in 1997. Now, she has the perfect dancer to play the role. “We base our ballets on my graduating seniors. It’s something that I do to gift back to them,” Rees said. “This year, with this graduating senior, she’s just absolutely delightful as Anastasia,” Rees said of senior Sarah Tewes, who attends Herron High school.
Rees’ rendition will follow the Disney version, but with an added twist. Anastasia will travel all around the world to find her grandmother, instead of just staying in Paris. “It gives our students an opportunity to not only train in the classroom, but then go ahead and take their dancing and make it artistic,” Rees said. Gabby Mullins, a student at Fall Creek Jr. High, is excited to share the version of the story with the audience. “I hope (people) can understand the story and how it’s told, and to understand and see that all of us have such a big passion for dance,” said Mullins, who plays a fairy. The ballet consists of 60 dancers, including eight from Fishers and one from Carmel, all between ages 4 and 18. Audiences can watch the ballet Feb. 11 or 12. Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for those 10 to 17 and $10 for children and seniors. To purchase tickets, call DMPAC at 317-823-9117. For more, visit dmpac. net

Old Town of Tallinn, Estonia, from Toompea. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Tallinn: the old and the new Commentary by Don Knebel Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, includes one of Europe’s best preserved medieval city centers. It is also one of the world’s travel most tech-savvy cities. The city now known as Tallinn was founded on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland sometime before 1154, when the town appeared on a Muslim cartographer’s map. After the town was captured by Denmark in 1219, it was named Reval. Strategically located between Russia and Scandinavia, Reval became an important medieval trading center. In 1285, it joined the Hanseatic League, a confederation of northern European market towns. Merchants built large homes in an area near the port now called Old Town, protected by stone walls with cylindrical towers topped by conical roofs. In about 1500, wealthy residents added a 400-foot-tall spire to Old Town’s St. Olaf’s Church, making it among the tallest structures in the world at the time. Toompea, a hill overlooking Old Town, was originally a separate town but joined Reval in 1877. Reval
changed its name to Tallinn in 1918 when Estonia declared its independence from the Russian Empire. An 11th century castle on Toompea now houses the Estonian Parliament. Tallinn, with a population of about 450,000, is home to 32 percent of all Estonians and generates more than half of Estonia’s GDP. One of the most digitally connected cities in the world, Tallinn, the birthplace of Skype, has the largest number of startup companies per capita in Europe. In 2007, Tallinn residents participated in the world’s first internet election. In 2013, London’s Daily Mail called Tallinn one of the seven smartest cities in the world. Tallinn attracts more than 4 million visitors a year. Many get a great view of historic Old Town from atop nearby Toompea. In 1997, Tallinn’s Old Town and Toompea were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
