County Commissioner Christine Altman, who has served at the forefront of establishing forms of alternative transportation throughout the county, voiced support for the partnership. “We formed this partnership to preserve this corridor for transportation,” she said. “Transportation comes in many forms, and every commute starts with walking, no E MAIN ST We still think this is a valuable matter where you are. corridor for mass transit, but at this time, the local communities don’t have local dollars to make that happen.

The resurfacing project will preserve more than nine miles of roadway on Ind. 38. (Submitted map)
$1.6M awarded for Ind. 38 news@currentnoblesville.com The Indiana Dept. of Transportation has awarded a $1.6 million construction contract to E & B Paving to repair and roads resurface more than nine miles of pavement on Ind. 38 between Ind. 32 in Noblesville and I-69 in Pendleton. The project will include repairing aged sections of pavement on the stretch before paving an inch-and-a-half asphalt overlay between I-69 and Ind. 13 and applying a threequarter-inch ultra-thin bonded wearing course between Ind. 13 and Ind. 32. Ind. 38 is expected to remain open through
the entirety of the project. Flaggers will direct traffic around work zones. Construction is expected to begin this spring. A specific date will be announced after a schedule is submitted by contractors. The project is expected to be complete this summer. Ultra-thin bonded wearing courses consist of applying a coat of polymer-modified liquid asphalt, which provides flexibility, immediately followed by paving a thin layer of hot mix asphalt, which provides strength. The surface treatment is intended to preserve and extend the life of highways by an average of about nine years, depending on traffic volumes.

Site work for Midland Trace Trail and Little Chicago Road Trail began last week. Trees along the planned transportation trails will be cleared. “Tree clearing is the first step in the construction process so the land can be prepped for site work,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “We’re excited to make these trail projects a reality and have them open for use later this year.” Tree clearing began with the Little Chicago Road Trail, a project that runs from Ind. 38 to the South Harbour neighborhood’s Elderberry entrance. Construction of the trail will begin this summer. Following the work on Little Chicago Road, tree clearing will begin for Midland Trace Trail from Gray Road to Hazel Dell Road. Last year, the city hired an independent arborist to review the clearing plans and the site to inventory trees that are outside the footprint required to build the trail. The city will save all healthy, non-invasive species identified by the arborist and will remove the scrub or dead trees along the path. The first phase of the Midland Trace Trail will break ground this spring and is expected
Noblesville’s portion of the Midland will connect to Westfield’s at Gray Road. (Submitted photo)
to be substantially complete by mid-September. The multi-use trail will be 12-feet wide. Because of federal regulations for bat habitats, tree clearings must be done this time of the year before construction of the trails is ready to proceed. Large, healthy trees that are removed will be used for logs. The remaining smaller or dead trees will be recycled for mulch.

The city said goodbye and good luck to one of our longtime servants just a couple weeks ago. Mike Hendricks had a city 23-year distinguished career, serving Noblesville with dedication and compassion. After graduating from Ball State, Mike began working for the city in the wastewater utilities department before becoming director and later deputy mayor. No matter what was asked of him, Mike exceeded in every role. I asked several of those that worked closely with Mike and they commented on his witty, sarcastic humor. They also were quick to point out that in any of his leadership positions, he would not ask anyone to do anything he wasn’t willing to do himself. In 2013, Mike received the prestigious Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award from the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns. The award recognizes veteran municipal officials who display strong leadership, contribute to the community and serve as a role model to citizens and municipal officials. I staunchly believe IACT could not have selected a more deserving person than Mike. In addition to his job responsibilities, Mike

volunteered his time to serve on the Noblesville Schools School Improvement Committee and the Noblesville Education Foundation Board of Directors. He also was past president of the Noblesville Midday Rotary Club and a member of the Development Organization Team for Noblesville Youth Sports. These activities displayed Mike’s dedication to the city and his willingness to better the community. Last January (2016), Mike undertook a different role by heading the newly created Controller’s Office. I was told from the department that “without Mike’s knowledge, patience and humor, this past year would not have been Advertorial
such a success. He made the transition go so smoothly.” That seemed to sum up Mike best; he worked inclusively to accomplish tasks and people enjoyed working with him. It is with heartfelt gratitude that I thank Mike for his years of service to Noblesville. While we miss him, we wish him the best in his new endeavor and for his lasting impact. Mayor John Ditslear has served consecutively as the city’s mayor since 2004. Contact the mayor’s office by calling 317-776- 6324 or emailing mglodowski@noblesville. in.us.

It’s back! Nothing beats March Madness®. The excitement. The buzzer beaters. The food and drink. But before you get lost in the roar of the crowd, here are a few things to consider: • Hosting a tourney-watching party? Remember you can be liable for guests who might over-imbibe on your property. Don’t charge for drinks and don’t hire a bartender. BYOB is always your safest bet. • Don’t want to watch at home? If you’d rather go out and cheer on your teams with friends, we’ve selected a few great neighborhood places where you can watch all the games and enjoy great food, drink, and people. • Be smart. Minimize your risks. And definitely HAVE FUN! But if you’re out and “enjoy yourself” too much, call a friend, cab, or ride service. When in doubt, ask your insurance agent.

THE SECOND FLOOR
For more than two years, Noblesville’s Hamilton East Public Library has been looking toward the future, examining how the community uses libraries. cover story Now, the library has announced it will begin as early as this summer on a $5 million renovation to make the library work more efficiently for its users through modernizing, reorganizing and redesigning its spaces.
STARTING THE PROCESS
“In 2014, we did a pretty in-depth strategic planning process where we had our staff go out into the community to explore what was happening with great organizations, what we could see, what we could emulate, what we could do here to create a library that our aspirational communities deserve,” Library Director Edra Waterman said. “So that was kind of our focus. What does a library look like in that context? What kinds of things can we do over the next few years to move forward?” Waterman said one of the things that came out of that process was a clear indication that the library’s spaces were not ideal. “We worked about a year and a half after the strategic planning process ended, and in the new strategic plan one of our goals is to create great indoor and outdoor spaces,” Waterman said. “We really want to create spaces and experiences for people in Noblesville, Fishers and Hamilton County that are aspirational and exceptional. We want to do that first by transforming our space.” In pursuit of that, HEPL began working with a library consulting company, Kimberly Bolan & Associates, in Zionsville, that does space planning and design. “They took our strategic plan documentation, took all that data, looked at our spaces and created a facility space plan. After we got that, we really thought, ‘OK, let’s do this,’” Waterman said. “We also worked with the (Hamilton) county council, who actually approves our budget. We have money in reserve that we’ve been saving to turn into services. We went to them and kind of laid all this out and said, ‘We did this planning. We have this document. We want to do all of these things. We have the money in savings. Is it OK if we spend it?’”
AT THE FRONT
One of the first things to change was near the entrance, where the large service desks are located to the right. “When you walk into the building, it’s a little closed in and you go right into the stairs,” Waterman said. “People line up and use (the service desks), and that’s just not how people really use things anymore. So, one of the first things is we’re going to be pulling out these big service desks and replacing them with smaller, more mobile service points. We’re also going to get automated materials handling that will automate the check-in and sorting processes that will allow our staff to be

out interacting with humans.” The entire service-desk area will be reclaimed as public space, complete with a mural on the large, curved wall.
IN THE MIDDLE
At the center of the facility, the ceiling already opens up for guests to see the second floor, but the view is obstructed by drywall that cases the stairs and the perimeter of the floor above. Waterman said to enhance the aesthetic and give the appearance of a larger space, the stairs will be reconfigured and flipped, and the drywall will be replaced by glass. “We hope that will really open that up, and you’ll be able to see through the stairs all the way to the windows in the Rotary Meeting Room (at the back of the library),” she said. With the opened space, a large part of the library’s materials will be moved to the central part of the library, rather than its current location near the back. In the same area, HEPL will be keeping its study rooms because of their popularity. However, Waterman said with flexible furnishings, people also will be able to create “semi-private” areas to work. “We’re also going to be adding a lot of power into the floor,” she said of new technology that will run under carpet tile for guests of the library to use for computer and phone cords.
AT THE BACK
The current “Teen Zone” will move from the lowest level upstairs to the first floor’s southeast side. The Rotary Reading Room, best seen from the east when driving down Ind. 37, also will be repurposed to fit the building’s new style. A new, smaller service point also will be located in this area, along with the rearranging of shelving to improve its design. “Another big thing that’s changing is, instead of having a separate computer lab, we’re going to be bringing those computers down (from the second floor) and scattering them out,” Waterman said. “
Currently, the Indiana Room is housed on the library’s second floor. However, Waterman said the area will in the future also be utilized as an expanded digital media lab. The digital media lab opened in what was formerly a small study room in late 2015.
UNDERGROUND
“When we bring up the teens from downstairs, the lower level will be all for kids,” Waterman said. “Some of the biggest changes will happen down HEPL’s digital media lab was created there.” in 2015 and will be expanded to the For example, a new second floor as changes are made at exterior entrance will be made at the back of the library.

In addition to the new entrance, other new features of the space will include the creation of a large program room, new furniture and interactive educational points. The lower level also will be zoned by age groups. The youngest children’s resources will be closest to the new entrance, and age-group areas will advance as visitors move toward the center of the library.
timeline Artistic renderings of the changes will not be released to the public until National Library Week, April 9-15. “They’ll be some really exciting things to see once we reveal the renderings,” Library Director Edra Waterman said. “It’s going to take us a year and a half to really finish, so we don’t want to get those out there too soon, but we want people to understand why they’re seeing some emptier shelves and shifting.” • 2014 – Strategic plan completed • 2015 – Kimberly Bolan & Associates study the library and develop a facility space plan • 2016 – HEPL gets Hamilton County Council approval, funding is organized • 2017 – Remodeling begins • 2018 – Projects are completed

Turning a deaf ear
A N O T HER V I EW P O I N T
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Distortions can be fixed The current political climate is proving brutal for everyone. Distortions are happening on both sides of the political spectrum. Learning to have constructive conversation with the “other side” rather than the divisive distorted banter relies on the average citizen being thoughtful of our words. Challenging distortions is not a call for political correctness. Distortions offer dramatic effect but cannot offer the clarity necessary to see both sides of an issue. In his book “Feeling Good,” Dr. David Burns described a list of 11 Cognitive distortions. The three distortions I see most often in my political discussions are: • All-or-nothing thinking — You see things in black-and-white categories. • Mental filter — You pick out a single, negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened. • Labeling — When someone else’s behavior rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to him: “He’s a loser.” Whether you are interacting on social media, reading an editorial or listening to a pundit, I believe it is imperative to our public discourse that we acknowledge when others are clouding the issues with these types of distortions. By acknowledging distortions, we could move our conversations to the richer details indicative of sound policy addressing the concerns of all citizens. Government policy should reflect a spectrum and not just one side. We need diversity in thought to make our communities strong and receptive.

Loving in two hearts Commentary by Terry Anker Families are complicated – even when they are not. Most of us have a dad and mom. Well, we all, by the recipe, “must” have at least one of each to get the process started. Once begun, there are any number of combinations that meet the standard. Sometimes, we participated at the origin – the ones that conceived and remained, choosing a mate, marrying and eventually setting our sights on shared parenthood. Others arrange family differently. But all focus, uninterrupted by the machinations of daily living, on delivering into the world one or more fully formed adult children ready to reproduce that which they have seen modeled at home – namely to propagate the species and bring forth another generation of us. There are countless among ourselves who stand up and carry the unrelenting yoke of parenthood. None is better than the other. Yet, all are dedicated to survival in a sometimes hostile and inhospitable world by self-replicating and, in so-doing, continuing the line that
came before us. This month a good friend, long-ago adopted, reached out to his biological parents. Some 50 years ago, they, for many reasons, delivered an infant into the kind and willing hands of an adoptive family desperately awaiting his birth. But only now did that baby decide to announce his continuing existence to those whom he had imagined but not known. Facebook made the connection. Messages were exchanged. Soon, regular telephone calls followed. Birth mother led to birth father led to step-siblings led to all manner of aunts, uncles and family penumbra. His “family” has long been firmly in place. Those who raised, loved and cared for him stand ready – still devoted – in earnest hope that his journey will fulfill. How do we live and love in two hearts?

Recently, I’ve developed a crush on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I love her spunky, “I’ll never die” humor energy, and the fact that she does not take poop from anyone. But what I admire most is her practical take on balancing work, motherhood and marriage. Basically, she suggests that you allow each area of your life to serve as a refuge from the others, and that on occasion, you become deaf. It is this second little nugget of wisdom upon which I would like to expound today, my dear readers, for in my infinite experience as a teacher, wife and parent, I’ve found that pretending not to hear muttered cuss words, murmured criticisms and stream-ofconsciousness rants by teenage girls proves to be a great advantage, cutting way down on my stress levels and, consequently, the amount of Prosecco needed to dull the edge. Think about it. Are we always better off when we correct young people on their choice of vocabulary? Is it always mandatory to fully engage with a color guard member who is ranting about some rifle spin or saber toss that she just can’t manage to land? Sometimes, I find myself so worked up by my students’ colorful profanity or my husband’s insensitive remarks or the fact that my daughter has been spewing play-by-play dance drama for 28 minutes straight that I lose perspective on the bigger things in life. I literally get sucked into the negative comments and the bratty shenanigans and forget that all things considered, I’m OK. So, I’m going to continue to heed the advice of Justice Ginsburg and occasionally go deaf. I’m going to tune out my children’s word vomit when they aren’t looking for answers but merely to vent. And I’m going to pretend not to hear when a high-schooler drops the Fbomb two feet from me because his signature hashtag has been co-opted. Peace out.

Also positive for sellers, the average year-to-date home price for the 15-county region rose 7.1 percent to $180,866, compared to January 2016. Hamilton County’s pended sales increased a staggering 28.5 percent in January 2017 compared to January 2016. Prices have also increased by 1.8 percent over last year to an average of $276,256. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 9.9 percent in January, a drop of 143 homes available compared to this time last year. • In Noblesville, the average home sales price increased 17.7 percent year to date to $231,279. • Inventory moved at a quicker pace in Noblesville in January 2017. Overall, homes sold in 68 days – 14 fewer days

sales effort that we had. He can set up more events and tastings.” Deer Creek has 16 craft beer options at its tasting room, including four Barley Island brands. Webster, a 28-year-old Noblesville resident, is selling only the Deer Creek brands. Eaton, a Fishers resident, said there are four year-round Deer Creek brands and eight rotating ones. Barley Island features Deer Creek’s 12 brands. “We’re promoting Noblesville as this is a town with two breweries,” Webster said. “Deer Creek and Barley Island have totally different personalities, so it’s kind of a fun project. I’ve been drinking his beer since I was 21, so I’m ecstatic to sell a beer.” Eaton said he knew Webster as a customer at Barley Island and Deer Creek. “I started seeing him at events and festivals and started talking to him about his new venture, and it seemed like a good fit for us,” Eaton said. Webster, who started Monon Beverage Brokers in October, has teamed with other Indiana brands, such as Scarlet Lane, Indiana Whiskey and Broken Beaker. For more, visit deercreekbrewery.com.

New Stompin Barley restaurant brings locally sourced food, beverages to Carmel By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com A new Carmel restaurant will offer cuisine, beer and wine targeted toward a 21-and-older crowd. Stompin Barley, 14560 River Rd., Suite 140, opened Feb. 21. dining Executive Chef Kyle Allbright, who formerly worked at the Oceanaire Seafood Room in Indianapolis, said menu items will be made from scratch and locally sourced. “What I’m trying to do with my food is pretty much take downtown (Indianapolis) and bring it to Carmel, because nobody else is doing the fromscratch-type of deal,” said Allbright, a Fishers resident. “So we are getting away from the corporate chain feel and bringing people to a nice place to come in and have some wine, grab some good food and keep it reasonably priced.” The price range is $6-15 for appetizers and small plates and $12-27 for entrees. Menu options include duck confit, seared scallops piccata, cedar plank salmon, various sliders, tacos and more. Currently, the restaurant only serves beer and wine and no spirits. The menu for lunch and dinner is the same, but Allbright said depending on feedback, the restaurant might explore different menu options. “It’s just classic cuisine with a twist of modern flavors,” Allbright said.

CIDE to present Mixed Rep By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
37 plays IN 97 MINUTES!
3/17 - 4/1
IN THE STUDIO THEATER
The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will be giving audiences a sneak preview of a dance, which group members will dance perform at the Regional Dance America National Festival. The Carmel-based pre-professional ballet company will present Mixed Rep at 4 p.m. March 12 at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel. Vicki Burdick, a CIDE board member in charge of marketing, said the dances include a mixed repertoire of pieces from modern to classical. Many have been choreographed exclusively for CIDE by nationally renowned choreographers Eddy Ocampo, Derek Reid and Ashley Walton. The national festival for dancers will be held May 2 to 6 in Phoenix. “The chance to work with these type of choreographers is an amazing experience for the dancers,” CIDE Artistic Director Suzann DeLay said. “Of the three pieces, one of them has been selected to go on to our national festival.” Burdick said the national festival gives the CIDE the chance to perform in front of nationally recognized choreographers and ballet directors from across the U.S.

“It gives us the opportunity to showcase what we’re doing here in Indiana,” Burdick said. “It gives our seniors an opportunity to dance in front of different universities, so if they want to dance, it gives them the chance to perform in front of those people.” “This gives our dancers a chance to learn and interpret a very renowned piece,” DeLay said. There will be a silent auction, starting at 2:30 p.m., at Mixed Rep to raise funds for the Phoenix trip. For tickets, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Where’s Amy had a blast zippin’ down a huge chocolate slide, dancing with dinosaurs, hanging out with Indianapolis’ favorite sports teams while sampling delicious food and spirits all under the big top last month at the Children’s Museum. From 8 p.m. until midnight, adults goofed around and played like kids at the annual event, Museum by Moonlight. Face painting and giant-sized Jenga and Yahtzee games were favorites among guests, but the highlight for many was riding the carousel, a piece of local history which turns 100 years old this year. Yep, five floors of crazy fun had by all with no kids allowed, only kids at heart! The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit institution committed to creating extraordinary learning experiences across the arts, sciences and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families. Proceeds from the night benefitted the Children’s Museum Fund, which ensures that children and families, regardless of income, can experience the museum. For more, visit childrensmuseum.org.
Jeffrey and Emily Simpson (Noblesville) took advantage of the face painting.
Alex and Jeremy Barnes (Fishers) tested their strength under the big top.
Michelle and Brad Ehrlich (Fishers), James Garner (Geist) and Jay Walsh (Indianapolis) loved hanging out with the famous museum polar bear.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1970s main level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to design two areas that work together to create function and flow for this high-traffic area. 1. The updated laundry room offers fresh lines, easy to maintain granite counter tops and multiple built-in folding areas. 2. The mudroom area was redesigned to specifically suit the family’s needs. Cabinet drawers were installed below, doubling as a bench. In the center, the family needed open cubbies with hooks for coats and bags. The closed cabinets above add a versatile storage option. 3. The drum pendant light for this space gives the laundry room a causal, yet modern feel. 4. A bold, contrasting, sliding barn door provides a visual barrier between the two areas, while maximizing the usable space. This is the perfect solution for this clean, functional space.
Before Background Info: This house is in the Village of West Clay in Carmel. Even though it was built in 2004, it lacked the functionality and convenient features that a busy family needs in a custom, updated mudroom.
Before problems: Common characteristics of intermediate spaces is that they are not used efficiently, which creates multi-purpose areas that become crowded and hard to maintain. The owners wanted to redefine their laundry room and mudroom into clean, functional and efficient areas that work together.

Lahori Gate of Red Fort in Old Delhi, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Red Fort: Symbol for India Commentary by Don Knebel Shan Jahan is best known for building the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his favorite wife. His less famous Red Fort in Old Deltravel hi, India, represents the epitome of Mughal architecture and has become a symbol of Indian independence. Shan Jahan became the fifth Mughal Emperor in 1628 after the death of his father. With the Taj Mahal still under construction, Shan Jahan moved his capital from Agra to Delhi. In 1639 he commissioned a fortified palace and government center on a 250-acre site south of the Yamuna River that also passes behind the Taj Mahal. The fort was built primarily of red sandstone, providing its name. Subsequent Mughal buildings copied its distinctive style, combining architectural details from India, Europe and Persia. The Lahori Gate, the main entrance to the fort, is topped by seven white domes and flanked by octagonal towers, each topped with a dome. In 1857, Indian soldiers initiated a rebellion against the rule of the British East India Com-
pany. The uprising failed and British forces occupied the Red Fort, where they put on trial Bahadur Shah II, the last Mughal emperor. The British then used the fort as a garrison, damaging marble buildings inside the walls. Many of the treasures of the Red Fort, including the last emperor’s crown, are in the British Museum. On Aug. 15, 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate, signaling India’s independence. On each Independence Day since, the prime minister has raised the flag and given a major speech to crowds assembled in front of the Lahori Gate. The Red Fort, with many of its interior structures restored and turned into museums, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007 and is open to the public. A visit provides a look at India’s glorious history. Don Knebel is a local resident \
who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.
