Citimark proposes tech campus project in Fishers By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

By the numbers: Proposed tech park

The City of Fishers and Indianapolis-based real estate and development company Citimark have anredevelopment nounced a proposal including $32.7 million in investments into a technology corporate campus at the city’s certified tech park. The proposal includes Citimark purchasing the former Charles Schwab call center Dickinson building at 12115 Technology Ln. and the nearby Launch Fishers building, plus building additional office space to create an interconnected campus that could also connect to the Nickel Plate District’s trails and the rest of downtown Fishers. “This is a transformative project for downtown revitalization of the Schwab building,” Fishers Director of Economic Development Brandon Dickinson said. “This will help us continue to attract the talent that we so desperately want and the talent that has reached out to us.” Citimark plans to invest $4.5 million into the former Schwab building, a 117,000-squarefoot call center that will be transformed to

a 71,000-square-foot tech-ready office space. Citimark Senior Vice President Matt Carlstedt said his company plans to demolish the central core of the building in favor of 20,000 square feet of courtyard green space and upgraded exteriors. The building has been vacant since 2010. “There is an incredible amount of value there. Not just refurbishing and repurposing the current building, but also creating an ecosystem for growth in and around the Launch Fishers building and the Schwab building all within our certified tech park,” Dickinson said. “We really think this is a very low-risk proposition and we would not be surprised at all if it’s fully leased up before renovations of the Schwab building are wrapped up.” The proposal also calls for Citimark to purchase the 51,000-square-foot Launch Fishers building for

$3.1 million and then lease the space for Launch back to the city. Carlstedt said Citimark would likely build two additional office facilities totaling 80,000 square feet to round out the campus. While nearly every member of the Fishers City Council voiced support of the proposal at their Aug. 16 meeting, councilors voted 5-4 in favor of tabling a vote on the economic development agreement — including tax abatements valued at approximately $561,000 — until their Sept. 19 meeting in an effort to gain more specifics from Citimark. Councilor Rich Block reiterated his support of the project before making the motion to continue the issue to September. Citing the city’s investment in Launch Fishers, he asked for Citimark to be able to provide a site plan for the campus to ensure a future building wouldn’t block off or negatively affect Launch.

Temporary ordinances originally approved by the Fishers City Council in May, concerning efforts development to update outdated zoning and standards along the I-69 corridor between 106th and 116th streets, were extended another 90 days at the Aug. 15 city council meeting. While city staff continues to work on new, streamlined zoning for the corridor, which city officials view as a key employment node for Fishers’ future, the ordinances require any proposed development in the area to first go before the city council for approval. “Those were put in for 120 days and will expire Sept. 8,” Fishers Director of Zoning and Planning Tony Bagato said. “Staff is still working with city officials and the city to determine the best standards going

forward for these two areas and we're asking for a 90-day extension from the Sept. 8 deadline, which would push us to December.” Extensions for both ordinances, one for the area near 106th Street and one for near 116th Street, were approved unanimously by city councilors.

THIS WEEK: Work on the new 106th Street bridges over I-69 in Fishers continues as Walsh Construction plans to begin setting the bridges’ beams, delivered last week, into place. Beams for bridge sections over southbound I-69 will be set first. The work is dependent on favorable weather and schedules are subject to change, but up to three right lanes of southbound I-69 and one northbound lane may be closed between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Rolling slowdowns of traffic, lasting approximately 20 minutes each, will be used to create gaps in traffic and allow for safely lifting the large beams over the interstate. Backups and delays should be expected. NEXT WEEK: Beams for the 106th Street bridges over northbound lanes of I-69 will be set, with similar schedules for overnight closures and rolling slowdowns expected.

Roundabout work under way news@currentinfishers.com Construction crews have begun work on the new roundabout at the intersection of Cumberland roads Road and 106th Street. According to a release from the City of Fishers, when complete, the new roundabout will help ease the flow of traffic at the intersection and allow for pedestrian accessibility. During the first phase of construction, a portion of Cumberland Road just south of 106th Street will be closed until late September. The other three legs of the intersection, both directions on 106th Street and Cumberland Road north of 106th, will remain open through the project’s first phase. The roundabout’s construction has been coordinated with nearby Fishers Fire Station 94 and Hamilton Southeastern Schools.

City launching Youth Council By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers is partnering with Hamilton Southeastern Schools to offer high school juniors and seniors public service a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of local government, public safety and social services. The city will pilot its new Mayor’s Youth Council program with 10 students each from Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School beginning in September. While Fishers offers a City Government Academy, Police Academy and Fire Academy for residents 18 and older, the Mayor’s Youth Council will provide similar experiences but in a more hands-on experience designed for high school juniors and seniors. Participating students will meet once monthly from September through May, and will visit various departments throughout the city, including police and fire, public works and parks and recreation, as well as local services in the non-profit sector, such as Good

Codelicious offers youth classes By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Codelicious offers free coding classes in the Microsoft store at Keystone at the Crossing, and now the organization technology is branching into Carmel and Fishers. Beginning in September, 10-week coding classes will be offered for ages 8 to 18. “A big element of our company is there’s really a need in the marketplace. Some schools are teaching code at some level, but there’s not really a lot of school offerings,” Codelicious Chief Marketing Officer Jenni Burton said. “There are some commercial offerings, but in our classes you have a project you work on throughout the 10 weeks and develop skills throughout different classes. We are super youth-focused in regards of, 'Is it safe for kids, and is it the right thing for kids?'" Classes are offered up to twice a week and last two hours each session. Classes begin Sept. 12, but Burton said students can register through Sept. 20. The 10-week course is $500. There are two course offerings for the fall, both geared toward ages 8 to 14. In Codexplorers, participants learn to build computer games, develop programming skills and learn Internet safety. In Codewizards, kids

learn coding skills, internet safety and how to build interactive websites. “We really are kid-first. One of the other things we are focused on is building confidence in kids, like if a student has never coded before, we want them in that first class thinking, ‘I can create this,’” Burton said. “It’s something they can really get passionate about and do. They can come, we can teach them, and they have that interaction with an instructor. Coding and knowing technology is so important for students these days.” For more, visit codelicious.com/courses.

Fishers’ Caldwells celebrating 70 years By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Fishers residents for nearly 30 years, Wayne and Joan Caldwell marked 70 years of marriage this anniversary summer with a celebration that included a family reunion hosted at Conner Prairie. More than 30 family members and four generations were on hand for the celebration, which also included Wayne — a longtime pastor and missionary with the Wesleyan Church — dedicating he and Joan’s seventh great-grandchild. Culver, Kan., natives, Wayne and Joan were married six months after Wayne’s 1946 return from overseas service in the Army Air Corps in World War II. “That was a dramatic turn in my life,” Wayne said of his time in the war. “I was not a Christian when I went overseas, but my mother gave me a little Bible and said, 'Put this in your pocket and read it when you get overseas,’ but I hadn’t read it.” He was driven to begin reading that Bible following a training crash involving a plane he had been on, but bumped off of, moments before takeoff. Upon returning from the war, he served as a minister in Kansas, Colorado and Missouri, as well as a missionary to more than 30 countries on six continents, before he and Joan moved to Indiana in 1972 and then Fishers in 1987, when Wayne joined the faculty at Indiana Wesleyan University. “Fishers was about 3,000 people then,” Joan said. “I think the only stop sign was at Allisonville and 116th.” “The glue that has held us together more than anything else and to love each other these 70 years is both of us grew up in homes with families where after break-

Cultivating a Community

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com One of the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept.’s most popular additions this summer sits at the back of cover story Cyntheanne Park, 12383 Cyntheanne Rd. Home to the city’s first public community garden, it’s a place where both first-time and master greenthumb gardeners can get their hands dirty as they cultivate flowers, produce, fun and fond memories with friends, family and fellow gardeners. “There have been a lot of questions and demand from Elliott residents for this type of offering,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “It’s something we looked at for our parks for a long time, but just hadn’t had the right opportunity or space to do it.” A partnership with Shane’s Outdoor Living and Landscapes, based in Fortville, led to converting an empty field at Cyntheanne Park into a patchwork of 40 plots measuring 10 feet by 10 feet plus 11 beds raised a few feet off the ground that are 4 feet by 8 feet. “It was all pretty much just a field,” Shane’s Outdoor Living and Landscape Designer Andrew Helmkamp said. “We scraped everything

off and brought out a bunch of rocks and better soil and built the boxes. We assembled them at the shop and then brought them out here.” “We were out here when they first opened and it was great to see all the families out here together,” marketing coworker Molly Smith said. “We had moms and dads and kids and grandparents all getting their gardens together and figuring out where they’re going to put things.” The Parks and Recreation Dept. opened registration for the community garden plots in March for $20 for the spring and summer season. Although he expected demand to be high, even Elliott was surprised by the community response. “We sold out in like a week and had a wait list going,” he said. Community garden plot managers include families with three generations, friends and neighbors sharing responsibilities, apartmentdwellers or those without adequate yards for gardening. “Like so many things, we built the infrastructure here but it takes the community to kind of bring it to life,” Elliott said. “It takes people to kind of grow it and bring that sense of community to it. We tilled it up, laid some rocks down and laid out the plots, but the people have really developed it.”

New garden at Cyntheanne Park a hit in first summer Gardening Gang

Both longtime and new gardeners have come to enjoy the sense of community the Cyntheanne Park offering has provided — all while also giving residents a place to plant healthy fruits and vegetables they may not have tried otherwise.

Denise Hartman

“I have a plot with my friend, (Donna Macy). We each weren’t sure if we wanted to do one or not, so we thought we’d just do one together. It’s really been a good experience. Neither one of our yards gets full sun, so we can’t have gardens at our own places.” In their garden: Peas, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, bell peppers.

Kristi Dickson

“I’m new to gardening. I’ve tried a little at home and it just didn’t work out well. I’ve got some stuff in pots, but this is a nice open space with lots of direct sun, so I thought I’d try some other things. My parents are big gardeners, so I got good advice from them on seeds and what I needed to start.”

Chad Garrard

“We planted ours with our neighbors. We’ve planted veggies and we hope they grow. We’re new to gardening, so we thought this would be a good way to get into it. I’m learning a lot.” In their garden: Lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli.

Coleen Widdis

“We don’t get good sun in our yard. My grandmother had taught me how to garden and I had a garden at a friends’ business, but she sold the business, and just right when she sold her business and I was sad about not being able to have a garden, this became available.” In her garden: Carrots, lettuce, hot chili peppers, white onions, red onions, yellow onions, spinach, green beans, jalapeno peppers, kale, tomatoes, basil.

A community garden plot cared for by Coleen Widdis includes flowers as well as vegetables including carrots, onions, peppers and kale.

Garden Growth

Following a successful inaugural summer at Fishers’ first community garden, city officials are looking to expand its footprint at Cyntheanne Park and scout potential garden locations for 2017. “We’ll definitely look to expand here farther to the east and maybe to the north in this space,” Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “We might be able to add 50 more plots out here. We’ll see what the demand is.” Although the space is there at Cyntheanne Park to more than double the amount of community garden plots, Elliott hopes the city could also spread its offerings evenly across Fishers. “We’ve got a number of gardeners from the west side of Fishers who drive maybe 20 minutes out this way, so we definitely see that there’s kind of a gap over there and maybe an opportunity for us to build gardens on the west side of the community,” he said. “That will be a focus for us in 2017, to look if we can identify a spot over on the west side of Fishers.” For more, information on next summer’s community garden offerings will be available at fishers.in.us or the Parks and Recreation Dept. office at 11565 Brooks School Rd., 317-595-3150.

T h e R a g in g Moderate

American voters can’t be trusted We’ve entered the penultimate stage of this presidential demolition derby. The field has been winnowed to the major political parties’ two anointed nominees: the Donald and the Hillary. More polarizing figures could not be found with the superconducting magnet at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. The fights to nominations were vicious, petty, puerile, perverse, depraved, savage, a slapstick parody and a sham with a little surrealistic burlesque thrown in for good measure. The lead-up to Nov. 8 promises more of the same on a larger scale. It’ll be like a daytime soap turned into a feature film, complete with plot twists and special effects and surprise cameos and reverse camera angles and pretty much everything but car chases. Although, with Bill Clinton involved, you can’t rule it out. The hardest part is figuring out which is scarier: that one of these two is going to become the next president of the United States, or the American people get to decide. Politicians echo that refrain like hyperactive crickets in the summer dusk: “It’s what the American people want.” No! Let’s not see what the American people want. Have we learned nothing at all from segregation and the Civil War and The Real Housewives of Orange County? You want to know what the American people want? I’ll tell you what the American people want: drive-thru nickel beer night; to lose weight by eating potato chips; a warning label on their brake fluid to keep them from drinking it; and the laws of gravity repealed.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

How can we be noticed? Commentary by Terry Anker The soft drink 7 Up struck marketing gold with its long-running advertisement for the “un-cola.” Actor Geoffrey Holder, as the first person of color to represent the company in a major role, incidentally, set out to educate the viewer of the significant variance between the many caramel colored soft drinks and the “distinctively different” lemon and lime taste of their product. Perhaps because of the truth in the ad or perhaps because of the brilliant casting of Mr. Holder, the product resonated with the consuming public and generated sales, off and on, for decades. Is it enough to simply not be the majority player, or do we need to actually have something to say once we get folks attention? There are always contrarians among us who will pick the opposite of what’s perceived to be the fashion. In effect, it is following a trend of always opposing the prevailing one. In many ways, the behavior is as predictable as that of those of proclaimed disdain. But if

one is vulnerable to ridicule for following the lemmings of popular culture, do we likewise expose ourselves by running blindly with the herd of those opposing the same? Is there a life to be lived immune to the peccadillos of the majorities? If we endure, stalwart to our own beliefs, can we be on trend when popular and off when not? Like a stopped clock that is right two times a day, do those among us who don’t change hem lengths, NBA franchises, or living room paint colors enjoy style for a while, then stylelessness, then nostalgic glory all over again? And if the defense to being hopelessly un-hip is to tout our differences, how can we be noticed in a market already stuffed with highly competitive and well-situated counterparts?

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”

– Henry David Thoreau

I’ve recently decided that I’m amazing, and for your reading pleasure, I’m going to tell you why. humor Our air conditioning had been out for three days straight as temperatures skyrocketed into the 90s. With the obnoxious humidity, the nights were no cooler, so I’d taken to sleeping mostly nude with a $12 Walmart box fan set to high aimed directly at me. I’d also warned my husband Doo to stay as far away as possible, as his body temperature made me angry. On the third night, I awoke around 1 a.m. from a fitful sleep and probable dehydration. I got up for a drink of water, and passing by a totally worthless open window, heard a weird sound, like a cat being tortured. My immediate thought was that our tabby Ginger had been hit by a car and was dragging her maimed body back to the comfort of her family. Despite my lack of clothing and the knowledge that a main floor light was on, I sprinted downstairs to save her. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find her, inside or out, and chalked the disturbance up as a heat-induced delusion. Sweating and frustrated, I collapsed into bed. But less than 10 minutes later, I heard the same odd noise. Convinced for certain now that something was afoot, I headed back down. This time I saw her immediately, walking the deck ledge outside our kitchen. She appeared fine. “Come here, Ginger,” I called as I opened the even more worthless screen door. Have you seen the commercial where the lady accidentally ushers a raccoon into her house because she needs glasses? As I stepped out onto the deck, scantily clad and backlit for all the world to see, I realized suddenly that said kitty was in fact not Ginger, but some hideous doppelganger. My poor cat was cowering behind a nearby tomato plant. Naturally, I screamed, scaring the evil twin off the deck. So basically I broke up a catfight (or staved off a cat-astrophe! Or perhaps thwarted a cat burglary?) in nothing but a skimpy tee while battling heat exhaustion. Yes, I am amazing. Peace out.

Let’s see what voters want Commentary by Larry Lannan Marion County will be voting on a 0.25 percent income tax inmass transit crease Nov. 8 in order to finance expansion of the local mass transportation system. If Indianapolis voters approve this tax hike, will Hamilton County be next? There has been talk of revitalizing the Nickel Plate line running from Indianapolis north through Fishers and points north. Could it become a commuter train to downtown Indianapolis? Could it be revamped and used for rapid transit buses? I have always taken the position that local governments in Hamilton County should not move forward on mass transit without passing a referendum. If a majority of voters don't support such an investment, it should not be done. In a recent interview, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness did not appear enthusiastic about developing the old rail line (now called the Green Line proposal), citing technological advances in self-driving vehicles that could render mass transit obsolete. The issue may boil down to this: If Marion

County passes the mass transit referendum, will Hamilton County, or parts of the county, vote on the issue? As someone who spent nearly six years commuting between downtown Indianapolis and Fishers, if something isn’t done to ease the difficulty of that commute, it will eventually become a barrier to future growth. The planned improvements to the area highway systems may help, but will not solve the problem if population growth continues. Mayor Fadness has been successful lately in increasing employment locally, but commuters continue to make up a large part of Fishers’ population. Even with all the recognition Fishers receives as a great place to live, our community loses its luster if you cannot move easily from one place to another. My view is that voters should be given the opportunity to weigh in. If the vote is yes, mass transit moves forward. If the vote is no, the issue is off the table for some time.

Thank you, officers

on Indy’s Northside

On June 20, I found my son, 40, at his home deceased. It was the most horrible thing I have ever experienced and every parent’s fear. I called 911 and within minutes, the Fishers Police were there. There were several police SUV’s, fire truck and two chaplains. I cannot express how wonderful each and every officer was with me and my family and his friends. They treated us with dignity and respect that evening as well as with every contact we have had since then. The chaplains were extremely helpful to all of us and comforting. Lieutenant Rubble has been my primary contact throughout this tragedy, and his caring manner meant the world to my family. I cannot express my thanks for all of them during a very difficult time. With so many negative things in the press about police, I just wanted to share a story that shows them in a most favorable light. Barbara Young

I’m a party pooper Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Recently, I was taken aback by a question my wife posed on our way to a movie: “Dick, next year, do you want humor a surprise party for your 70th birthday?” “Excuse me?” “Well, before I waste time finding a place to have a party, rounding up a few of your friends, and spending a lot on food, I want to be sure you really want a surprise party. Hypothetically, of course.” “I know this is really narrow-minded and ungrateful of me, but isn’t a surprise party supposed to be … you know … what’s the word I’m looking for?” “Well, how soon we forget. Do you remember what you said when I threw a surprise party for your 50th?” “I seem to recall saying, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t have.’” “That’s exactly right — and I’m not going to make that mistake again.” “Okay, who would you invite to my surprise party? Once again, hypothetically.” “Well, to make things easier for me, you could jot down several names on a piece of paper. And include some folks you wouldn’t

expect to come to your party. Maybe even a few people who aren’t that crazy about you. If I could convince them to come, that would really make the party a surprise.” “Is there anything else I shouldn’t know?” “Well, I don’t want you to know exactly where the party might be, so come up with three places where you wouldn’t expect people to jump out of nowhere, screaming, ‘Surprise!’” “Make it easy on yourself, Mary Ellen. Why not just have it at our house, and that way, when I come home from work, everyone can just be hiding in the kitchen.” “Well, how clever is that? They’d have to think you were pretty stupid to walk into your own home on the day of your 70th birthday with 15 cars parked on our cul-de-sac and not know something was going on.” “Okay, then, let’s do it the day after my birthday.” Yes, Mary Ellen, this sounds like a fun party. Hypothetically, of course.

St.Vincent keeping traveling babies safe By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Amanda Craft knows parents of infants and young children, both firstprevention time and experienced, aren’t perfect. As a certified car seat technician at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, she’s seen the proof, and wants to help parents transport their children safely by properly installing and using their car seats. “Just about every time I do a car seat safety check here, I run into at least one thing that parents are doing wrong, whether the base is not level or the child's not appropriately strapped into the car seat, or a lot of times I see things that are happening in the car seat like hanging toys or mirrors, or the car seat isn’t tight enough and moves more than one inch when it’s strapped in,” Craft said. “Just about every car seat check we do has something that isn’t right.” The most common safety issues Craft sees is car seats not secured tightly enough. Once in place in a vehicle’s back seat, a car seat shouldn’t move more than one inch in any direction. She said other frequent problems include toys hanging from a car seat’s handle, which can become dangerous projectiles

in the event of an accident, or straps not securing a child tightly enough in the car seat. Chest and waist straps should be tight enough so that no slack can be pinched together. “You have to understand that little newborn babies kind of close into themselves,” Craft said. “They're used to being tight in their mother's bodies, so too tight isn't usually an issue. You want them as tight as you can get them.”

St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, 13861 Olio Rd., offers car seat safety checks on the first and third Thursdays of each month. “You can call 317-338-CARE and that's our line to schedule an appointment to have your car seat checked,” Craft said. “If your children are present, that's even better because then we can make sure that they are appropriate for that seat. And if they're not, we can provide a car seat at no cost.”

The ninth annual Artomobilia, a free event featuring car collections from around the Midwest, is set for noon to 5 p.m. Aug. 27 at Main Street and Range Line Road in the Carmel Arts & Design District. “The one thing that is unique about the cars is the breadth and depth of the cars,” Artomobilia Event Director John Leonard said. “I think a lot of people like to see a lot of different cars. We try to provide a variety of unique and desirable cars.” Leonard said the oldest cars probably will be from the early 1930s. Leonard said the Indianapolis 500 pace car that car dealer Eldon Palmer drove in 1971 when he crashed into the photographer stand at the race will be on display. “We’ll have a couple other surprises from a car perspective,” Leonard said.

The castle in Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Maria Theresa’s castle Commentary by Don Knebel

her many modifications involved reducing the slope of the castle’s stairways so she could ride her horse on them. In 1802, the castle became the barracks for troops of the Austrian Empire battling Napoleon and the interior of the castle was badly damaged by a fire in 1811. The castle was restored in the middle of the nineteenth century and now houses rooms used by the Parliament of Slovakia, which became independent from the Czech Republic in 1993. In February 2005, the castle was the site of a summit meeting between Presidents George Bush and Vladimir Putin. Bratislava is a pleasant and walkable city, with a population of about 430,000. The Bratislava Castle is one of its highlights.

A castle visible throughout Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, once helped protect the Roman Empire from barbarians. More recently, it has served as a meeting place travel between east and west. The four-towered Bratislava Castle sits on a hill in the center of town, overlooking the Danube River. A fortress has occupied the site for thousands of years because of its strategic location above a major north-south trade route running between the Carpathian Mountains and the Alps. When the Danube served as the boundary of the Roman Empire, Romans used the fortress to repel Germanic tribes from the north. In the Middle Ages, the castle was controlled by Moravia, Don Knebel is a local resident the first major Slavic state in Central Europe. who works for Barnes & ThornEventually, the Bratislava Castle became the burg LLP.
