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

• $32.7 million in proposed investments for tech campus • Citimark plans to invest $4.5 million into the former Schwab building and turn it into a 71,000-square-foot tech-ready office space • Citimark plans to purchase Launch Fishers building for $3.1 million • Proposed tax abatements (tabled for now) valued at $561,000
$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. Although 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.

‘Lawrence Night’ set for Sept. 2 By Zach Dunkin • news@geistcurrent.com While some were lucky to escape the heat and humidity of an Indiana summer inside airconditioned homes and officschools es, 270 young members of the Marching Pride of Lawrence Township band had no choice but to labor in sizzling temperatures and sticky humidity. “A week before school started they had their week-long band camp (July 25-30) and were going for about 14 hours a day outside in the heat,” Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township Athletic Director Grant Nesbit said. “They were going all day, every day. That was followed by a week of long rehearsals before football season started.” Not only was the group perfecting its songs and steps for the season, but was also preparing to march in the Rose Parade, Jan. 2, 2017. The Marching Pride is a joint effort between Lawrence Central and Lawrence North high schools. In only its first year of existence in 2015, the band was an Indiana State Music Association finalist and a Bands of America Grand National finalist. Although this will be the Marching Pride’s first trip to the Rose Bowl, the Lawrence Central marching band

participated in the 2005 parade. The band needs approximately $800,000 for the trip and is collecting donations Sept. 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The “Lawrence Night” event will combine music and football. In addition to the band performing outside and inside the stadium, the Belzer Middle School choir of 75 will sing the National Anthem before football players from the township’s various levels of competition take over the turf. Youngsters from the Lawrence Township Football League will take the field at 5:45 p.m., followed by a game between Belzer and Fall Creek middle schools. The Lawrence Central and Lawrence North teams will meet in the 8 p.m. nightcap. Admission is $10.

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.

Justice or mercy? Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg Another week, another shooting, another city in protests. Do we advocate for justice or do we advocate for mercy? Jail overcrowding causes religion early release of prisoners. Do we advocate for justice or do we advocate for mercy? Another high-profile figure is caught in a situation that brings dishonor. Do we advocate for justice or do we advocate for mercy? Fredrick Buechner, in his book “Beyond Words,” wrote, “Justice may consist of paying a price for what you've done or simply of the painful knowledge that you deserve to pay a price, which is payment enough. Without one form of justice or the other, the result is ultimately disorder and grief for you and everybody. Thus justice is itself not unmerciful. Justice also does not preclude mercy. It makes mercy possible.” Without justice, mercy becomes sentimentality or emotional debris. Without mercy, justice becomes cold and isolating. This is why God in his wisdom has always held the two together. They are like two sides of the same coin. You cannot effectively have one without the other. If you want to do justice, the proph-
et Micah says you need also to love kindness and walk humbly with God. If you want to exercise mercy, you must first recognize that it can only take place in a just society. Riots, lawlessness and vigilantism are not justice, but political tyranny. Mercy practiced without any sense of justice is simply emotional tyranny, and both destroy life. Both are needed and in balance in order to become the people God intends us to be. Mercy or justice — you cannot choose between them and have either. You can only have one if you have the other. The prophet Micah says it best when he says, “But God’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what he is looking for in men and women.” It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your mercy and don’t take yourself too seriously — take God seriously. Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Geist’s Marnie Cole reflects on 15 years of area jewelry sales
By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com What began as a way to continue working while raising her young children became a way of life for Geist resident Marnie Cole, who started her career selling jewelry with Silpada Designs in 2002. cover story “I did my due diligence in corporate America for a little while,” she said. “I did that from about 1993 to ’99 and then I had a baby. I was going to stay home for a little while before I went back to my job and found Silpada during that time. I decided I wanted to do that for awhile and see if I could do something from home for a bit. Then I just kept having babies, and my business kept growing, so there was no need to go back.” Cole was the first Silpada independent representative in Indiana and celebrated her 15th year with the Lenexa, Kansasbased jewelry company by receiving Silpada Design’s Legacy Award earlier this year. But the company owners and board of directors announced in May it would close its doors this summer. “I had a couple months of hardcore sales, and it was amazing, even to the end,” Cole said. “It's just a great product, and I have a great client base, and I have lots of sales reps that work for me all over the country. I feel like we finished strong.” That final push to the finish line was when Cole achieved the second requirement for her Legacy Award. After already having recruited 100 people to the company, she personally surpassed $500,000 in sales over her 15 years with Silpada. At its largest, Cole’s team of fellow independent sales representatives, plus the reps they recruited, exceeded 700 women.

“There was a big local group, but I also had a group in Ohio, a group on the East Coast, a group in Massachusetts and Vermont, a team in Florida and a team in Texas,” she said. “It's a great business because it's not limited to where you are. We didn't have certain territories or anything, so I was fortunate enough to where I had a lot of customers and great referrals and people I shared the business with who were interested in getting involved, too.” Being an independent contractor with SIlpada gave Cole the freedom to work with local organizations, like the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township and the Community North Hospital Auxiliary, for fundraising efforts. In the past six years, she helped raise nearly $18,000 for the Community North Hospital Auxiliary. “I met a gal through just doing a home show and she worked at Community North. Her job was she was basically in charge of volunteers, and I just asked if they had any fundraising opportunities and got connected with their auxiliary, which is a group that raises money for the hospital,” Cole said. “I work with the auxiliary and go in four times a year, set up jewelry and sell jewelry and give half the proceeds back to the hospital. That's been an awesome part of my business.” Although the business disolved because of slipping sales and a changing retail landscape, Cole loved her time with the company and was grateful to the Walsh and Kelly families that founded Silpada, as well as the local clients and new people she enjoyed meeting the past 15 years. “I know I'm on to bigger and better things, but unfortunately all good things must end at some point, right?” she said.

What’s Next?
After 15 years selling jewelry and building up a crosscountry sales team, Marnie Cole doesn’t exactly know what’s next but is keeping her options open. “I'm not sure what I'll do. I feel like I'm an entrepreneur, but part of me doesn't want to close any doors to anybody. I’m ready for my next chapter,” she said. “Sales is most likely my thing, but I've also learned a lot and become well-versed in training, and I really think I could do some aspect of training.” No matter where she ends up next, Cole doesn’t see herself finished with jewelry anytime soon. “I'll always have something that I do independently just because it's in my blood. I like it, I'm motivated, I enjoy doing my own thing and building my own thing,” she said. “I'm going to find another line of jewelry so I can continue to do my fundraising efforts, too. I really want to still be able to give back.”

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.

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.”

Carmel Artomobilia set for Aug. 27 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Art and automobile enthusiasts will converge on Carmel to share their passion. The IU Health North Hospital events Carmel Artomobilia, presented by ADESA, features more than 400 cars on display in celebration of the art and design of the automobile. 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. Nationally recognized automobile artist Bill Patterson will paint near the Hoosier Salon Gallery at noon. Regional and local artists will paint cars around the Carmel Arts & Design District. Anthony Ross Tyler, the featured photographer, will have a live photo shoot at 2 p.m. at the Indiana Design Center.
John Leonard is the event director for Carmel Artomobilia. (Submitted photo)

The castle in Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Maria Theresa’s castle Commentary by Don Knebel 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, the first major Slavic state in Central Europe. Eventually, the Bratislava Castle became the seat of the Kingdom of Hungary, with the Holy Crown of Hungary secured in the large southwest tower. When Maria Theresa became Queen of Hungary in 1740, she promised her Hungarian subjects that she would spend time in their
country as well as in Austria, which she also ruled as Archduchess. For her Hungarian residence, she converted the Bratislava fortress into a baroque-style palace. One of 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. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com.
