A rendering of the Belle Tire business proposed for the Saxony Corporate Campus. (Submitted rendering)

Common council approves Belle Tire, fund transfers Compiled by Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Among several other agenda items at its Jan. 28 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved an amendment to allow for the construction of a Belle Tire automobile service business in the Saxony Corporate Campus northeast of Campus Parkway and Boden Road. Prior to approval, senior planner Joyceann Yelton gave a brief presentation and confirmed that because the overhead garage doors would be on the north side of the building, they would not face Campus Parkway. Other items approved or heard included: What happened: The council approved an ordinance for additional appropriations in the debt service/building refunding bonds from 2014. What it means: Budget/financial analyst Sam Beres said the bonds are from 2014 and were used to fund renovations to Noblesville City Hall. Beres described the ordinance as a “technical budget clean-up issue.” “For the last couple years, what happened was the appropriation out

of this debt service fund was below what was needed for payments out of the fund,” Beres said. Because there was always cash in the fund, however, the correct payments have been made. The ordinance allowed for $4,665 to be moved into the fund.

What happened: The council heard an update to the proposed 2020 Noblesville Comprehensive Plan. What it means: No vote was taken. A vote will be taken at the Feb. 11 council meeting. For more on the comprehensive plan proposal, see cover story on Page 13. What happened: The council approved two transfers regarding staffing concerns. What it means: The first transfer was in regard to three Geographic Information System staff members. GIS staff were previously housed in the IT department, but beginning in 2020 were housed in the planning department. The transfer allows the appropriations to be moved from the IT department to the planning department. The second transfer was in regard to a budget mistake.

“This one is a bit unfortunate,” Beres said. An operative position within the street department was mistakenly left out of the adopted 2020 budget. The position was an existing job. The staff member already was employed and had been left out of the budget plan. The transfer moves the appropriation from contingency in the Motor Vehicle Highway fund to the street department.

DISPATCHES League of Women Voters conducts event — The League of Women Voters of Hamilton County will conduct an event at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 17 at Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville, 1 Library Plaza.

Donna Schaibley’s (R-Carmel) legislation opening up the opportunity for Hamilton County judges to appoint an additional magistrate. According to Schaibley, the new magistrate would work with local circuit and superior courts to handle minor offenses or hold preliminary hearings for more serious crimes. She said the most recent data from The Weighted Caseload Measure shows Hamilton County has one judicial officer for every 29,432 people. House Bill 1038 now moves to the House floor for further discussion.

WHAT YOU DESERVE TO KNOW ABOUT HOOK I decided to run for US Representative of Indiana’s 5th district because of concerns for the fiscal and environmental problems we are leaving future generations. Because I voted Republican in the mayoral race, given there were no Democrats on the ballot, the rules dictate I run as a Republican, or get signoff from the Democratic county chairman. Although I am happy to run as a Republican, voters deserve to know I have always been independent and will continue to be if elected. Like Matthew Hook was formerly a CPA, Attorney and Senior many reading this, I don’t fit squarely within Partner in a Private Equity either party and believe many of us have a firm prior to retiring in 2017. lot more in common than party labels may suggest. Therefore, I am gladly abiding by the rules legislated by the two party system and the primary process paid for by us as taxpayers in the hopes of addressing significant issues facing future generations that no one is talking about. Interestingly, the Constitution does not mention political parties yet George Washington is the only President who did not represent one. In Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796, he feared the parties, which began forming during his presidency, would lead to a “spirit of revenge” and ultimately be used to further their own power; instead of for the good of the people. I fear we have moved past a generation exemplified by George H. W. Bush who was willing to sacrifice for the good of the country and demonstrated the courage to work across party lines to address deficits and acid rain even though he knew he would pay a political price. It may be hard to remember but his tax increases along with those of the Clinton administration ultimately led to budget surpluses in excess of $300 billion and a strong economy. If you need a label on a candidate, I am probably not the right one for you. However, before choosing a candidate, please ask what specifically the candidate plans to do about the $1,000,000,000,000 annual deficits, insolvency facing Medicare and Social Security and the devastation caused by climate change. Addressing these issues will not be without some reasonable sacrifice, as previous generations have sacrificed for us, but we owe it to our children and our children’s children. If you think I might be a candidate you want to support, please visit www.votethefuturenow.com and if inclined an online DONATION would be greatly appreciated as I am NOT TAKING DONATIONS FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. Thanks for your consideration.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A revised comprehensive plan is expected by city officials to further establish NoblesCOVER STORY ville’s vision for 2020 and beyond. The plan was completed in 2013 and updated in 2016. Community and Economic Development Director Sarah Reed said when a comReed prehensive plan is established, best practice is to update it every five years. “Especially in growing suburban Indiana right now, two years from now (the plan) is not going to have the same impact, even if all you’re doing is updating demographics and checking off items you’ve done so you can keep yourself accountable,” Reed said. A comprehensive plan is a document with supporting information that provides a community’s vision and strategic framework. “The things it talks about in here help us provide services efficiently, look how developmental patterns impact the location of services (and) the extension of services,” Reed said. “(Such as) we have to make sure things like sewer and water are available before development happens. It helps us keep developers accountable as they come in and

bring new developments. They are required to do certain improvements and pay certain impact fees to help with improvements to those services like road networks, park impact fees and sanitary extension.” One of the central parts of the comprehensive plan is a land-use map, which dictates what uses are encouraged in different areas of Noblesville. “If we were to imagine what we want Noblesville to be and where we want specific uses to be located, this is what the future land map dictates,” Reed said. “All new development gets weighed against this comprehensive master plan. You have to show you meet the intent of the comprehensive plan when you come in for development.” One of the differences in the 2020 comprehensive plan land-use map is more residential development in the downtown area on vacant lots. “That’s one of our priorities. We are trying to build back up our central hub district a little bit,” Reed said. The comprehensive plan is currently a draft. A final vote is scheduled for Feb. 11 at the Noblesville Common

Council meeting. Reed said the plan outlines items that were completed in the 2013 version and items that need more focus for 2020 and beyond. “You can tell a big difference on some of (the items) that were completed,” Reed said. “Our focus now is to gear more towards design and placemaking. That is how we look and how people feel when they come to downtown and the City of Noblesville.” Other key items are transportation and housing. “We have a whole section in here dedicated to a thoroughfare plan update,” Reed said. “Housing we improved at, but it is a continually evolving conversation that also ties into the workforce. That would be one (item) we did work on and will continue to work on.” Another focus is to continue to address is the city’s downtown. A community engagement manager supervises design and placemaking for the area. For more, visit cityofnoblesville.org. Email comments, concerns or suggestions to compplan@noblesville.in.us.

IN THE WORKS The first phase of an update to the comprehensive plan has been completed. The city held a public open house and a committee worked on the plan until it was approximately 90 percent complete. With Mayor Chris Jensen taking office last month, the plan was reviewed and updated. “(The process) was reviewing and updating Phase 1 information and adding more public input and feedback from the former and now current administration,” Communications Manager Robert Herrington said. The most notable change was the updated future land-use map. “We added an additional residential category for downtown, and it’s going to be called traditional residential because it didn’t fit into the mixed-use residential category or the more suburban residential category,” Community and Economic Development Director Sarah Reed said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Adult supervision

‘Act now’ reply

Commentary by Terry Anker

Some years ago, the conversation went something like, “Since we misbehaved as adolescents, we don’t feel like we can put any constraints around our own kids. We don’t have the right to criticize their bad choices because we made our own.” On its face, it made sense. No good and decent person decides to be an intentional hypocrite. If we hope to be respected, shouldn’t we endlessly strive toward internal consistency? So, the story goes on, the children of these good and moral parents lived a life unconstrained by phony indignation but filled with needless peril. “We smoked pot, so we cannot tell you not to do it. We drank underage, so we cannot tell you not to do it. And, look, life turned out OK for us.” Maybe. But if we ate poison berries and somehow managed to survive, don’t we have an obligation to give the next generation a heads-up? Or do our rose-colored glasses and misplaced affection for our progeny prevent us from being the adult in the room? Even if we managed to survive the peccadillos of our own youth, aren’t we obligated to pass on that accumulated knowledge to those who follow? Driving drunk, smoking cigarettes, Communist rule and careless sexual behavior — should we warn the youngsters or let them figure it all out for themselves? Are we too busy making new mistakes to learn from our past ones? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

A curmudgeon’s night out Commentary by Danielle Wilson My family loves to razz me because outside of work, I have no life. I have no friends, hate to HUMOR socialize and, if left to my own devices, would probably become an agoraphobe hermit. Those are exaggerations, of course, but they’re not far from the mark. Besides being an introvert with a sprinkling of social anxiety, I’m also a morning person who values sleep above all else. To that end, I never drink alcohol after 4 p.m. and schedule evening activities so that I’m home by 9 p.m. If you throw a 90-minute Bloody Mary brunch with people I already know, well, I’m your girl. Otherwise, fughetaboutit. I bring this up because last week, not only did I partake of a half-glass of cabernet while making dinner, I physically left the dark and safe comforts of my house not once, but twice, to engage with the world. My teenagers are terrified: “What’s wrong with Mom? Is she having a midlife crisis?

Holy Mary, is this menopause?” Please. I just really wanted some wine with my chicken and, by a fluke of scheduling, was invited to a couple of get-togethers with close colleagues on back-to-back Saturdays. I know. How radical of me. But non-night owl introverts can have fun with other humans; we simply need fair warning, an early end time and an emotionally safe environment. My husband and kids seriously need to chill. Not that I’ll ever admit to enjoying socializing or to having friends. I like being known for my senior citizen/ vampire tendencies. It’s my shtick. But I wouldn’t mind a break from the teasing. They all need to get a life. Jeez. Peace out.

Editor, In response to James Henderson’s letter (published in Current Publishing newspapers), I have to say that he does not study peer-reviewed research on climate cycles as I do. I have never been associated with an energy company. Climate change is real and has been for 4 1/2 billion years. Primary causes of climate cycles include the sun’s galactic rays, sun spots and flares, not CO2. An international group of 500 distinguished climate researchers sent a letter to the UN Secretary General on climate change: “There is no climate emergency. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is beneficial to all life on Earth; additional CO2 in the air has increased the yields of crops worldwide. “Global warming has not increased natural disasters. There is no statistical evidence that it is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts, sea levels, nor making them more frequent. There is no emergency.” Mic Mead, Westfield

READERS’ VIEWS

Misjudging success This letter was written in response to a column by Terry Anker published in the Dec. 24, 2019 edition of Current. Editor, Do you misjudge success of free college tuition by solely measuring it based on graduation rates? Why not simply based on courses success-

fully completed? For example, one may learn how to propitiously utilize investments from a single finance course. Or perhaps, broaden perspectives from a course in critical thinking. Success should not be limited by the diploma. J.E. Lynch, Westfield

Look into HR 763 Editor, I would like to encourage anyone reading this to educate yourself on HR 763, commonly referred to as the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. This bill took over a decade to create and is bipartisan, meaning Democratic and Republican lawmakers worked together to draft the bill. I support it because it is effective, good for the people and the economy and it is also revenue-neutral. This policy will reduce emissions, improve health, save lives and, if passed the way it is currently written, will put money back into people’s pockets. The

government will not keep fees collected by the dividend tax. Also, it has the potential to create jobs across our state and nation. This bill is another step to drive down our own carbon pollution and a serious step to combat climate change. We owe it to our children to at least try to combat this man-made threat to our very own existence. For more, visit energyinnovationact.org. If you support HR 763 use your voice/computer and contact Congresswoman Susan Brooks and Senators Mike Braun and Todd Young in Washington, D.C. Ken Tucker, Westfield

Climate change is real Editor, A recent letter in Current by James Henderson of Westfield outlined many of the dangers and effects of climate change. Climate change is already here and is costing us in lives of humans and animals and property. It has arrived earlier than the 97 percent of the world’s scientists have warned about. It is only going to get worse unless we as individuals and families, as churches and schools, as businesses and nonprofit organizations, as colleges and universities, and as cities, counties and townships take action!

Sadly, we are not going to get any help from the Trump administration, which is the worst in history on the environment. Nor, sadly, are we going to get any help from the current governor, who has tried to hold back the solar industry, the one with the fastest-growing jobs and jobs that can’t be outsourced to low-wage countries. Notice that the wind almost never stops blowing in Indiana. We have the potential of being the Saudi Arabia of wind energy yet we are way behind Iowa, Kansas and even the oil oligarchy of Texas.

Taking a pass on words Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife’s first New Year’s resolution was to take a class at our library about technology safety, HUMOR like how to create hardto-hack passwords. When she got home, just for practice, she changed the code on the garage door touchpad, and then she went shopping. I wrote this column on my cellphone, sitting in the car in front of our house. I hoped she wrote the new code down. I was freezing. Computer scammers gather family names, addresses, pets and past jobs, and then do millions of test-run combinations in microseconds. I was shocked to learn that dickwolfsiewishtv would be easy to crack. One tech website verified hackers could figure out that password in 11 seconds. If I worked for WTHR, it would take 14 seconds. I’m not sure it’s worth the move. “Do you have any upgraded security codes, Mary Ellen?” “Yes. For our savings account, I used the first letter of every boyfriend I ever dated, plus the address number of every house we’ve lived in. I increased each digit by ‘one’ so that 1450 becomes 2561. I capitalized every other letter and then sprinkled these symbols throughout: %^&**#@.” I thought the profanity was unnecessary, but according to that same website, it would take even the most crooked computer geek 11,000 years to uncover that code to gain access to our account. With our savings, we’ll go broke long before then, anyway.

“Mary Ellen, how will you possibly remember a password like that?” “I won’t remember it. I’ll write it down.” “If you have to look it up every time, anyway, why not just pick totally random numbers and characters? Why make it so complicated?” “What a password pooper. You would not do well in my class.” “OK, Mary Ellen, our new passwords can’t be guessed. Where are you going to hide this written list?” “I don’t know. I think that’s the next class. And why would I tell you? You can’t keep a secret.” “You’re right. A couple of martinis and I’ll be spouting off Kh^TbL1356R^7867%^&*#@ to every crook who will listen. By the way, your password is safe with me because even if I wanted to blab it out, I don’t know what this ^ is called.” Yesterday, Mary Ellen went back to the library. Her instructor said it’s safer to change passwords from a remote location than on your home computer. The phone rang: “Dick, it’s me. I need our current bank account password.” “I’m not going to tell you over the phone. Someone could be listening in on our conversation.” “Lighten up, Dick. It’s not healthy to be that paranoid.”

Avoid overuse injuries Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan If you are like many Americans, you may have made a New Year’s resolution to improve PREVENTION your health. Overuse injuries occur when we begin an exercise program that is too aggressive or when we step up the speed or duration of our current routine. Overuse injuries include: • Tendonitis, or inflamed tendon, is commonly associated with jumping or side-to-side motions. • Plantar fasciitis, or inflammation of the plantar fascia which runs along the sole of the foot, is caused by overuse of this tissue. The heel pain from plantar fasciitis is usually worst in the morning when you first get out of bed. • Stress fractures are tiny breaks in the bone that plague athletes such as distance runners and basketball players. Some prevention methods are as

Healthy Feet are Happy Feet

follows: Do some gentle stretches before beginning your activity – but always warm up before stretching with some easy jogging in place. • Don’t work through any pain. • Follow the 10 percent rule. Increase your activity level, such as running distance or duration, by only 10 percent per week. • Whenever possible, run on soft, flat surfaces. • Mix up your routine. Alternate hard training days with easier ones. • Choose the right footwear. • Replace your running shoes every 500 miles. • Women and teen girls should get enough calcium.

Acting vet Kern makes Shakespearian debut in Civic production By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com John Kern has been eager to make his Shakespeare debut. “It was something COMEDY I wanted to do to grow and stretch as an artist,” Kern said. “I’ve seen a lot of Shakespeare in my time being in the arts community, having watched friends perform.” So, Kern auditioned for Civic Theatre’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” “I thought I’d get a small role and dip my toe into the Shakespearian pool, and I guess I had a good audition because they gave me one of the lead roles,” he said. “So, I’m jumping in feet first in the deep end of Shakespeare.” Kern will play Benedick in the production, which runs from Feb. 7 to 22 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Kern said he has some similarities with the character. “At first, he’s tricky and doesn’t want to get married. Love is that thing he keeps at a distance,” Kern said. “In my life, I can relate to that as a 42-year-old single man. I’ve kind of kept love at a distance. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tweaked the relationships in my love life, too. It’s been an interesting part to bring some of myself into the character.” Kern said the Shakespearian dialogue is a challenge. “It’s a lot more difficult to memorize, especially when you’ve never done it before,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed it and (am) relying on some of the people who have done it before here and some of the friends I’ve seen do Shakespeare. It’s been an experience.” Kern, a Geist resident, is performing in his first Civic show in approxi-

mately seven years. Prior to that, he estimates he had performed in a dozen productions with Civic. Kern recently started as an improviser with ComedySportz Indianapolis, another way he grows as a performer. Carmel resident Jonathan Doram is making his Civic Theatre debut performance after moving from Arkansas, where he worked for Teach for America. “I’ve never done Shakespeare before,” Doram said. “They needed a singer. I auditioned and got the role.” Doram will play the roles of Balthazar and the Watch. “I play the singer and military friend and I also play the Watch to keep order in the town,” Doram said. “The show is like the Renaissance version of throwing shade, so it’s very funny, very witty.” In contrast to Kern and Doram, Kelsey Van Voorst, a 2008 Carmel High School graduate, is a Shake-

spearian veteran who is playing Dogberry in the production. Among other shows she has done, the Carmel resident appeared in Civic’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” in 2017. “The role of Dogberry is the comedic relief in a comedy,” Van Voorst said. “So, I get to be extra goofy. I can use physical comedy to my advantage. I don’t have a lot of restraint on how silly I can be.” Dogberry was written for a male actor. “So, the juxtaposition of me being a woman playing it is very fun, too,” Van Voorst said. “The role of Dogberry is well known. It’s very fun to say I got to play Dogberry.” Van Voorst said her character doesn’t appear until Act III, Scene II, but then plays a significant role. “From then on, Dogberry and his compatriots drive a lot of the plot for the rest of the show,” she said.

Home dining for Valentine’s By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Reserving a table at a popular restaurant on Valentine’s Day can be challenging, especially MARKET when the romantic DISTRICT holiday falls on a Friday evening as it does this year. Instead of going through the hassle of finding a restaurant, Market District Food and Beverage Manager Rick Hopkins said the Carmel-based grocery offers solutions for couples who want to stay in. “In the store, one of our standards is the chocolate-covered strawberries, the tuxedo strawberries, and we sell them in packs of threes or sixes,” Hopkins said. “We package a ribeye steak that is butterflied, so basically it opens up like a heart. We also have the steak and lobster packaging we do since that’s a big demand item for Valentine’s Day.” With Market District’s produce selections, Hopkins said a nice meal can be created for couples who want a private night of dining at home. Prepared meatballs are available in the chef’s case, and Hopkins stresses the

importance of side dishes. “A lot of times (a good option is) grilled asparagus or a potato gruyere in a layered dish,” he said. Several wine and liquor pairings are available as well. Market Table also has a restaurant, Table by Market District, for couples who want to dine out. “Obviously, any restaurant in town gets prepared for Valentine’s Day,” Hopkins said. “Valentine’s Day is just fun. We do a dinner-for-two experience with a shared appetizer, the choice of an entrée and a shared dessert. It’s a complete meal for two.” For more, visit marketdistrict.com.

The contract extends through June 2025. “It has been a great pleasure to join Janna Hymes in leading the Carmel Symphony Orchestra,” CSO Executive Director Jeanelle Adamak stated. “Janna has elevated the artistic value of the CSO and increased demand for the orchestra to perform with such artists as Michael Feinstein, Amy Grant and Edgar Meyer. Her passion and dedication to orchestral and pops music has broadened the audience and delighted all crowds.” Westfield resident to produce ‘Mayberry Man’ — A new movie inspired by “The Andy Griffith Show” is slated

to film for approximately two weeks in central Indiana to coincide with the 2020 “Mayberry in the Midwest” Festival taking place in Danville May 15-17. The feature-length family comedy titled “Mayberry Man” is being produced by children of actors who appeared in the original 1960s television series and is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter through this month. The project was about halfway to its funding goal after just one week. Producer Cort Howell, son of Hoke Howell, who played hillbilly Dud Wash on the classic series, lives in Westfield and bases his production company in Carmel. His older brother, Stark Howell, is the writer/director and is based in Los Angeles. Fans can support the movie and choose from a range of rewards on Kickstarter through Feb. 29 by visiting MayberryMan.com.

Politically correct grammar Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Replica of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Remembering Checkpoint Charlie Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans above a certain age remember something about Checkpoint Charlie. ToTRAVEL day’s visitors to Berlin can encounter its famous guardhouse twice. At the end of World War II, Berlin, located entirely in East Germany, was divided between East and West. On Aug. 13, 1961, Communist East Germany encircled West Berlin with a fence to prevent its residents from defecting. The fence soon became a 12-foot high concrete wall, patrolled by armed guards and enhanced with a series of other defenses, including beds of nails. East Germany established a number of heavily guarded checkpoints around the wall. Checkpoint Charlie, located along the Friedrichstrasse, an important street in West Berlin, was the only one providing Westerners access to East Berlin. To demonstrate that the West considered Berlin’s division temporary, an American guardhouse on the West Berlin side of Checkpoint Charlie was a small wooden shack, surrounded by sandbags. Several residents of East Berlin successfully escaped to the West at Checkpoint Charlie. In October 1961, Checkpoint Charlie was

the scene of a tense 16-hour confrontation between American and Soviet tanks after East Germany had denied access to Americans. On Nov. 9, 1989, after the East German government had announced the easing of travel restrictions, thousands of East Berliners stormed Checkpoint Charlie, seeking to enter West Berlin. After a long standoff, guards opened the gates and people traveled freely between East and West Berlin for the first time since 1961. A few months later, the Americans dismantled their facilities at Checkpoint Charlie in an international ceremony, and the guardhouse eventually found its way to Berlin’s Allied Museum. A replica of the guardhouse and the rest of the American side of Checkpoint Charlie, at its original location along the Friedrichstrasse, is now a popular Berlin attraction, surrounded by photographs and descriptions of the important events that took place there. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Apparently, this is a big year for politics. Many people have asked me about termiGRAMMAR GUY nology when it comes to our two predominant parties in American politics. Specifically, people have asked about the terms “Democrat” vs. “Democratic” Party. Republicans belong to the “Republican Party,” so why don’t Democrats belong to the “Democratic Party”? As a side note, you should always capitalize the name of a political movement. There’s a simple answer to the question regarding “Democrat” or “Democratic” Party: Grammatically speaking, a noun can’t modify another noun. “Democrat” is a noun, while “democratic” is an adjective. In order to modify “Party,” we need the adjective “Democratic” to be grammatically correct. “Republican”

serves as both a noun and an adjective, depending on the context. I suppose the same could be said of the Bull Moose Party, with “Bull Moose” serving both as two nouns and a singular adjective. As another side note, the Bull Moose Party was named as such because Teddy Roosevelt, the unofficial party’s unofficial founder, referred to himself as fit as a “bull moose.” To refer to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party” is at least grammatically incorrect. Based on my research, “Democrat Party” has been used by opponents as an intentionally derogatory term since the 1940s. So, at best, calling the Democratic Party the “Democrat Party” is bad grammar.
