Dora also said the company, which is only a few blocks from the new hotel, is working to get involved in the community and hopes Hotel Nickel Plate will boost business at other local restaurants and shops. For ex ample, Dora said the hotel plans to partner with Orangetheory Fitness for what they call a “no-shower happy hour” after work outs at the fitness studio.

“So, I think it’s a key component both visually and aesthetically but also economically.”Doraagreed, and he expects Hotel Nickel Plate, which he compares to the new Bottle works Hotel on Mass Ave in Indianapolis, to attract many first-time visitors to Fishers.
The five-story, 75,000-square-foot bou tique hotel is being built in partnership with Browning Investments and the Dora Hotel Co. It will have 116 rooms and will be one of 70 in the Tapestry Collection by Hilton highendConstructionhotels. is expected to take 18 months. The cost of the project is estimated at $30 Hotelmillion.Nickel Plate will also have a restau rant and bar on the first floor called Iron Horse Social. It will have garage doors that can open to outdoor dining and live music, weather permitting. The feature will also allow people to stop off from the Nickel Plate Trail to get a quick bite to eat or grab a drink, Dora Hotel Co. President Tim Dora said.“(The hotel’s going to be) a cool, funky, trendy hotel that kind of reflects the youth of the community through high quality and high service,” Dora said. “We don’t have a downtown hospitality (business). I think we need it for commercial travelers.”
you see the First Internet Bank building, Nickel Plate Station, the apartments across the street, (the hotel) really stepped back and said, ‘How do we engage with this trail and the public traffic to make sure we get as much accessibility and ease of acces sibility for the general public, not just the people staying at the hotel?’”

“It’s going to be fun,” Dora said. “What we’ve found working with other hotels is that for many, this will be their first impres sion of Fishers and their last impression of Fishers, and we want a really positive first and last impression so they decide maybe to live here or work here or invest here or just play here.”

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said he hopes the hotel will attract new visitors to Fishers. He also said that it fits perfectly with the larger vision of Fishers that he hopes to see moving forward and adds a unique opportunity for the city to attract more people.
In the heart of downtown Fishers, a proj ect that has been five years in the making broke ground Sept. 2 at 8651 E 116th St. be tween the Nickel Plate Trail and First Inter net Bank building. Construction of the Hotel Nickel Plate is just another way the city is working to grow and develop downtown Fishers and the Nickel Plate District, accord ing to city leaders.
“All of (the hotel being) on a very small and tightly confined, constricted area just means that every detail matters,” Chavers said. “And so each of these projects that

“At the end of the day, we wouldn’t have to do as much cleanup if people understood that the storm drains outside of their home or at the shopping center all runs directly to the river without any treatment,” Hoffmann said. “Behavior change is probably the most important thing because that’s what con tributes to what ends up (in the river). So if we’re cleaning up at the river, or testing the water, by then it’s too late, the pollut ants have already been there. So, the most important thing we could get people to do is take some of those action pledges and really pay more attention.”

ENVIRONMENT
Megan Baumgartner, director of Economic and Community Development for the City of Fishers, was one of the speakers on the first day. She gave a presentation entitled “Regional River Partnerships in Indiana – Two Examples of ‘How-to’ White River - READI Grant & River Ridge Development Authority.”Peoplewho want to get involved with cleaning up water supply in the area are also invited to volunteer with the river assessment field teams through the White River Alliance to help test water samples and determine the quality of the water by testing for pollution and measuring trends over time. Those events happen once a month on a Sunday from noon-4 p.m. and targets one of three areas along the White River in Marion and Hamilton County. For more, visit thewhiteriveralliance.org.
Hoffman said the best way to help clean up the water supply is for people to be mindful of their trash output. She also recommends people check out the White River Alliance’s action pledge, called “Clear choices, clean water,” that helps people understand how their actions affect the environment of the river.
Ross Rearick and his son, Elias, show the trash they collected from the White River in Fishers on Aug. 27. They found a bed frame and an old tent, among other items.

Jill Hoffmann, executive director of the White River Alliance, said that while a ma jority of the bigger trash items have been removed from the river, there is still a need for cleanup events to serve as maintenance to clean up the smaller trash. She also said that moving forward the biggest challenge will be getting people to understand what they can do on a household level to produce
less waste going into the river.

HUMOR
CommentarylanguageofbyTerryAnker
Mid-century country crooner Roger Miller penned an iconic song in 1964 retelling the story of the ne’er-do-well recognizing his own shortcomings while sitting in a bar instead of being home with his wife and 1-month old child: “Dang me, dang me. They ought to take a rope and hang me.” Capital punishment may have been too great for the transgression, but it was clear that he saw the error in his ways. Still, he didn’t rush home. And then he found a way to put some of the blame upon his upbringing: “My Pappy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun,” he sang. Although the errant subject of the tune did not learn his lesson, the record did earn a Grammy Award for best Country & West ern song. It seemed that the repentant, but not too much, tone resonated with audiences.Bytoday’s standards, the lyrics are quite tame. Notably absent are the ag gressive use of profanity and assertive, if not hardcore, references to victims. Somewhere along the line, our posture has changed. It is unlikely that Miller was unfamiliar with the vocabulary that would ultimately become commonplace in popular music. Still, he elected to use the more colloquial and less intended to offend.Much of the humanities has shifted into the profane in the last few decades. The internet is filled with vile and un productive uses of modern language. So-called news and creative writing aggregators push out article after ar ticle expressing a number of opinions wrapped in strong language. Mostly, we ignore them. Today’s retinue included “&$^#-less in Seattle” and “@#%^ Writ ing.” Studies show that expletive use can reduce stress for individuals. But for mass consumption, does it reduce anything other than IQ?
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Last year, I’d been hyper aware as this date approached, spending the preceding days dwelling on that final summer and the hours leading up to his passing. This time? I hadn’t given Dad a single thought in over a week, and it was only in the context of being frustrated that he’d failed once again to use his heavenly presence to secure me lottery tickets to the Masters. Am I a terrible daughter? Sibling? Merely human?Myhusband believes my forgetting is a sign that I’m healing -- that I’ve moved through the grief to a place where Dad isn’t gone, but also isn’t ever-present. I hope he’s right. I kind of feel like a cry runPeacemyself.out.

Recently, I received a text from my youngest sister saying she’d just ex perienced a cry run, where one bursts into tears while jogging. I asked why, and she replied that she’d been think ing about our father who passed away in 2020. Then my twin chimed in. She, too, had been remembering Dad and had spent the morning a little weepy. Sisters 2 and 3 followed with similar remarks, and I was left wondering what was going on. Why was everyone sad?

When a photo came through from the cemetery, it finally dawned on me: It was the two-year anniversary of Dad’s death, and I’d forgotten. Like, completely and totally forgotten. If I hadn’t been singing John Denver in a hallway full of teens at the exact moment of this discovery, I would have fallen apart. But Friday karaoke must go on, so I stifled my emotions and continued mangling, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Take me home, indeed.

Having just had a nightmare the previ ous evening, I put in, “Last night I dreamed about …” The first supplied answer -- and I swear this is true – was, “chickens.” If you have ever wondered whether other people have the same weird dreams as you, you’re in for a rude awak ening, probably by a rooster. I clicked on that link and up came a poem by children’s author Jack Prelutsky, which read in part:

Crabtree said she loves Mangrum’s spirit. “It’s bright and alive and I really relate to her resilience and willpower,” Crabtree said. “I wish I had more of her positivity and energy, though. The toughest part about playing her is her character arc. I won’t tell you how it ends, but the place she is at the end of the story is hard to get to with the amount of time changes we have in the show.”Formore, visit mudcreekplayers.org.

Visiting the FDR Library and Museum
Commentary by Don Knebel
Today, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presi dential Library and Museum contains about 50 million items related to FDR, which he donated to the United States. Wings com pleted in 1972 contain 3 million items related to his wife, Eleanor. Besides documents and similar materials, the museum con tains exhibits related to FDR’s four terms as president, including one displaying his desk. Another exhibit, depicting a 1940s-era

When Marin inquired about grunge terminology, Jasper enlightened him with these made-up phrases, which soon after appeared in the pages of the Times: “wack slacks” (old ripped jeans, “cob nobbler” (loser), “fuzz” (heavy wool sweaters), “bound-and-hagged” (staying home on Fri day or Saturday night) and even “swingin’ on the flippity-flop” (hanging out). These terms and 10 others appeared as grunge gospel in Marin’s Nov. 15 article, “Grunge: A Success Story.”
Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
In November 1992, the Seattle grunge music scene was exploding in its popu larity. While the angsty grunge fans were rocking in their flannel shirts, Nir vana frontman Kurt Cobain was penning hits including “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Come As You Are” and “Lithium.”Ifthose songs don’t sound familiar, that’s OK. What’s notable is what hap penedWhilenext.fans were riding the grunge wave, a reporter at The New York Times wanted to inform readers about the growing subculture. A freelance reporter named Rick Marin phoned Megan Jasper, who, at the time, was a sales represen tative for Seattle record label Caroline Records.Jasper, who had recently been laid off from legendary grunge label Sub Pop Re cords as its receptionist, decided to have a little fun at the Times’ expense. Marin phoned to ask about any slang terms used in the grunge subculture. Jasper

GRAMMAR GUY
Before Franklin D. Roosevelt, presidents considered documents and other materials created during their terms their personal property. Some sold or destroyed them, and others donated them to the Library of Con gress or other institutions. President Roos evelt wanted a better system for preserving what he considered public property. In 1939, Roosevelt convinced his mother, Sara, to do nate 16 acres of land from her Springwood Estate for a library for items created during his service as president and his prior public service, including as governor of New York. Roosevelt, an amateur architect, helped de sign the library building in the Dutch Colo nial style. This first presidential library, built with private funds, was dedicated on June 30, 1941, early in FDR’s unprecedented third term. Roosevelt often visited the library and made some of his famous fireside chats from a studio inside the building.

This wasn’t the first, or last, time fake news showed up in a well-respected newspaper. The fact that Marin swallowed Jasper’s made-up terms hook. line and sinker surprised even Jasper herself.
