County lawmakers return from D.C. By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Six local lawmakers and the county’s highway director recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where they sought support GOVERNMENT for road funding and construction issues in Hamilton County. “Funding is always the biggest challenge on projects like these,” Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman said. “We appreciate the time that our representatives and their staff took to review our needs and offer suggestions. Their insight was extremely helpful.” Hamilton County Commissioners Steve Dillinger and Mark Heirbrandt and Altman, along with Hamilton County Highway Director Brad Davis, Hamilton County Council President Steve Schwartz and Noblesville Common Council President Chris Jensen met with Indiana Congressional leaders during the two-day trip, which included Rep. Susan W. Brooks, Rep. Luke Messer, Sen. Joe Donnelly and Sen. Todd Young. They also met with the Federal Highway Administration and vice presidential staff. Two projects – the 146th Street corridor between Greyhound Pass and Hazel Dell Parkway and the Ind. 32 and Pleasant Street corridors in Noblesville – drove meetings and conversations between the parties. Traffic studies by the county show growing congestion along both routes. “The Pleasant Street Economic Development Cor-

ridor has been on the city’s thoroughfare plan since 1995,” Jensen said. “It is a top priority for the city. Not only will it help spur economic growth in our downtown, but will also serve as a catalyst for future successes in the heart of our community.” “Hamilton County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state,” Heirbrandt said. “Proactive efforts to address these critical corridors are vital to future job creation and in ensuring our county continues to be a great place to live and work.”

Construction of a single-lane roundabout at Strawtown Avenue and Ind. 37 in north Noblesville began this week. The ROADS $1.6 million project includes a roundabout at the intersection and a bridge-deck overlay on Ind. 37 over the White River in Strawtown. Because Ind. 37 will remain open, a temporary signal has been put in place for driving restrictions and traffic switches, expected to last approximately 90 days. The final traffic switch on Ind. 37 is scheduled for mid-May. Strawtown Avenue will be closed for up to 90 days. Detour signs will direct traffic around the construction site via Madison Street, Ind. 37, 216th Street, Victory Chapel Road and Craig Avenue. The intersection will be open to all traffic this fall. Indiana Dept. of Transportation officials said the need for the improvement comes from a goal to improve safety at the intersection by improving sight distance and reducing speeds. Accident data suggests a significant number of right-angle collisions due to the

Strawtown Avenue traffic crossing or turning onto Ind. 37. Although the speed limit was lowered from 55 mph to 40 mph in 2014, high speeds continue to be an issue. “The proposed roundabout will ensure a significant increase in safety, due to the fact
that, compared to traditional intersections, roundabouts cause an 82 percent reduction in fatalities and injuries and a 44 percent reduction in overall crashes,” a statement from INDOT reads.

Young girl cleans city’s streets By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Olivia Herche cleans trash from city streets. She began the project Feb. 4. (Submitted photo)
Olivia Herche has a unique goal for a 7-year-old: To clean trash from Noblesville’s streets. SERVICE She and her dad, Jason, began with their Arbor Grove neighborhood in February. They took walks and picked up trash and collected it in 5-gallon buckets. The trash collection mission expanded quickly, and now Olivia has a goal of collecting 100, 5-gallon buckets. She colors in a trashcan on a paper printout each time she fills a bucket. So far, she’s colored 33 buckets. Jason said he and Olivia walk the streets on weekends and after she gets out of school at Stony Creek Elementary. “I would take walks, and she wanted to come,” Jason said. “She saw all the trash and wanted to clean it up.” Besides their neighborhood, Jason and Olivia also collect trash along the nearby Greenfield Avenue and other local areas. Jason recently applied to be an Adopt-a-Street sponsor for a section of Greenfield Avenue. “We asked the city if there was somewhere we could dump all the trash because
our bin kept getting full,” Jason said. “They said if we do the Adopt-a-Street program, they provide trash bags and gloves, and you can just tie up the trash bags and leave by the sign, and the street department will come by and pick it up.” During spring break Olivia had the goal to pick up 82 buckets of trash during her time off school. She and her dad also recycle items. Her parents are proud of their daughter’s initiative. “This is something we didn’t have to force her to do,” said Lindsey, Olivia’s mother. “She came up with it on her own, and she hasn’t gotten tired of it yet.”

Joelle Samples lives in Noblesville with her husband, Shayne, and son, Bennett. (Submitted photo)
Fertile ground
Local woman’s practice helps others conceive
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
Joelle Samples took a holistic approach to health in her battle with epilepsy when she was 16 years old. In college, she stopped taking medication and instead began listening to her body – correlating stress and sleep deprivation with the onset of seizures. She began to COVER STORY treat herself holistically. Eventually, that led her to create and launch her own holistic health and bodywork practice, yinRoot, 444 Lafayette Rd., Noblesville. Her holistic approach, with the aid of traditional medicine, helped her become pregnant with her son, Bennett. She attended school to become a health coach and was unsure of her next steps in life until a plan came together. “My husband and I started trying to have kids, and it just wasn’t happening,” she said. “Once we got married and were going through infertility struggles, it just clicked and all fell into place. That’s when yinRoot was birthed and that became my first baby -- growing that business and figuring out my niche in our community here.” Samples, a Noblesville resident, became certified in Merciér therapy in 2014 and began to treat women holistically for infertility issues. Samples and her husband, Shayne, went through exhaustive testing during their own journey. She finally became pregnant in early 2016. Now, Samples incorporates holistic methods to supplement traditional medical techniques to
help other women during their journey. “I’m helping (women) navigate those relationships in traditional medicine,” she said. “Doctors are very one way and focused on one thing, and I’m helping (the patient) see all of the options and pick what’s best for them. I’m helping them navigate the world of fertility and supporting them.” Women with infertility challenges go through Samples’ 12-month Shared Journey Fertility Program and meet with Samples regularly throughout the year or until they become
THINGS TO COME April 22-28 is National Infertility Awareness Week, and yinRoot owner Joelle Samples has some items planned for her business’s future. She will release a professional video about her business and has submitted an article for Natural Awakenings Magazine. In addition, Samples wants to expand yinRoot courses for mothers and daughters. “One of my passions going forward is creating a class for moms and daughters to teach them about menstrual cycles,” she said. “It is amazing to me how many women and young girls are not aware of what is happening with their body, so I think education is really, really important.” Samples will spend this year preparing content and plans to launch the course in 2019.
pregnant. Samples uses various techniques and essential oil therapy to restore blood flow and break down adhesions in the pelvic region as well as creating a hormone balance. She said she has a 63 percent success rate. “My husband asked me when I got pregnant if I still wanted to do what I was doing to help other women, and I said, ‘Yes, absolutely,’” Samples said. “To be honest, I wanted to do it more because I know the feeling. I know where they’ve been and I know that excitement that comes with getting that positive pregnancy test.” One of Samples’ clients, Stephanie Bennett, became pregnant after only five sessions. After she and her husband struggled with fertility, Bennett considered adoption until a friend referred her to Samples as a “last-ditch effort.” “My experience with her was wonderful,” Bennett said. “It was life-changing, and not just because I was pregnant. Had you talked to me before we found out, I would’ve said the same thing. She helped me make big adjustments in life. I went into it with getting one of two expectations: It would be great to get pregnant, but my biggest hope was to be OK with not getting pregnant. I think I got to that point, and then shortly after, we found out we were pregnant.” Bennett, of Westfield, is due in September. Samples’ Shared Journey Fertility Program costs between $1,800 and $2,400. Samples also offers individual programs for women experiencing other issues as well. For more, visit yinroot.com.

Digesting the pancake
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker
Hoosier political leader Rex Early was known to urge bipartisanship with the adage, “I’ve never seen a pancake so thin it didn’t have two sides.” The simple, accessible aphorism makes a hefty point. In order for a civil society to bind itself together, the pancake needs a top and bottom. The physics of the beloved breakfast food requires it. Sure, the sides of the pancake can be a little different. In our house, one side always seems to get slightly crispy. It depends upon the chef as to whether the burnt side is turned up to warn the hungry table mate of what’s in store – or, it can be turned down, masking the shame of the inattentive cook. Regardless, the pancake may have one side that we like better than the other, but we have to eat both if we hope to gain its nutrients. One wonders if the maxim about the engineering of a flapjack can be used to better inform our understanding of those in the world around us. Can we imagine that our least favorite person is really only one thing – liar, cheater or bad driver? Isn’t it more likely that he or she is a liar (at least in an encounter with us) but also a competent parent, a loving pet owner and dedicated daughter to an aging parent? Is it possible we might be more than one thing? Deciding to flatten a human being into just two dimensions makes it easier for us to walk on them. If someone is good and bad, we have to burn a bit of mental energy to evaluate them on balance. We must decide if the pancake is simply too burned to eat or if a bit of syrup makes it work.

READER’S VIEW SMC should pay their way Editor, Recently, the Noblesville City Council voted to award SMC Corp. a multi-year, multimillion dollar tax abatement to expand its Noblesville facility. I think that’s a mistake. When SMC first moved here, Noblesville was generous. We offered a tax break; they took advantage of it and thrived. Good for them, good for Noblesville. But now that they’ve been here for a few years and want to expand, it makes no sense to extend a further tax break considering where they want to expand. It’s clear we aren’t working within the spirit of the law that permits these abatements. It says right in the resolution that the land (must) be undesirable because of a lack of development, obsolescence or substandard building. This is some of Noblesville’s most valuable land and isn’t any of those. I don’t blame SMC for asking. We’ve conditioned businesses to ask for conces-
sions from communities by using these tools, inappropriately, for years. But it’s incumbent on (councilors), as representatives of the taxpayers, to push back and say no. We love you, SMC, we want you here, but we need you to pay your way like everyone else. It’s not like we don’t need the money. Just a couple of years ago, (the council) had to raise taxes just to pay for basic infrastructure maintenance. I suspect if we hadn’t been giving away millions in tax abatements, perhaps we wouldn’t have had to raise taxes. Recently, I was at a meeting in Fishers where IKEA bragged that they opened their store with no economic incentives from the city. So, it is possible to land good businesses without incentives. I say to SMC: Please stay here, grow here, thrive here, but pay your own way like everyone else. Mike Corbett, Noblesville
In trying to figure out what to write about this week, I took a stroll down memory lane. Some of my Current articles from 2009 in particular are a HUMOR hoot. There’s one about me calling poison control when my niece ate cortisone cream on my watch. There’s one delivering a beautiful eulogy on “Big Red,” our first minivan. And the best, a column detailing how adept kids are at employing chemical, biological and psychological warfare against parents: “Bodily fluids are available, free and extremely versatile in the hands of a child. You must be prepared!” Now, that’s great writing. Most of 2010 followed our adventures in real estate, including my horrifying accidental Republican vote in the primaries and a subsequent mental breakdown in the dairy aisle at Marsh while living with my in-laws in between houses. Good times. Goo-ood times. Other highlights through the years? The epic “fist-to-the-face incident” when my younger son popped his older, bratty brother during a family road trip that nearly put us in a ditch. The slow but steady death of my beloved water bra right in the middle of a lesson on polynomials that I was teaching. And, of course, the literal waste geyser that erupted two years ago from our main hall toilet that resulted in a complete kitchen remodel. By comparison, I feel like life has been on cruise control of late. No more little ones under foot, no new jobs or homes on the horizon, and for the most part, little drama, save for the occasional teenage girl outburst. It may mean fewer exciting columns, sure, but we can always walk down memory lane. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

Relationships affect our health Commentary by Dr. Erica Giblin Although personal relationships have a significant impact on our life, we often don’t think about the YOUR HEALTH influence they have on our health. Studies show that people involved in positive relationships with family and friends tend to be happier and live longer than people who are isolated. As we look for ways to manage and improve personal health, it’s worth considering how our relationships affect our physical health and emotional well-being. Certainly, there can be positive effects. For example, if we surround ourselves with people who eat healthy and exercise, we’re more likely to adopt the same behaviors. Relationships can also result in negative consequences. Although every situation is different, here are some common health concerns that can be influenced by family and social relationships. Depression – Although this condition has many causes, unstable relationships with family members and close friends can contribute to depression. Frequent negative interactions with spouses and children can cause mood swings and emotional distress that over time may affect physical health. Weight management – Managing weight is easier when individuals spend time with people who eat healthy. Conversely, when
we’re around people who overindulge, it’s tempting to follow along. Social outings with friends and co-workers often take place at restaurants, which typically means larger portions and food selections that are higher in calories and less nutritious. Alcohol and drug use – Again, it’s more likely that people will engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as heavy drinking or drug use, when they spend time with others who do the same. Although this can occur at any age or life stage, it can be more common with teenagers and young adults. The first step to making positive changes is to identify and acknowledge when a relationship is negatively impacting health and well-being. A primary care provider is a good resource for exploring possible solutions, which may include referrals for counseling or connecting individuals to community resources or support groups. If isolation is an issue, volunteering or joining a social group are great ways to meet people. Relationships are an essential part of life, so it’s important to establish and nurture the ones that provide the greatest joy. Dr. Nicole Phillips specializes in internal medicine.

Nickel Plate Arts presents sixth annual Fairyville By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Nickel Plate Arts campus in Noblesviille will once again be transformed into Fairyville. EARTH DAY “One of the reasons we do this event is it’s a chance to celebrate Earth Day by connecting nature and art, so it’s a fun way for families to celebrate Earth Day,” NPA Director Aili McGill said. “But it’s also great fun for kids because they can dress up and pretend with us. We’ll have real-life fairies on campus. It’s such a fun way to celebrate creativity. For anyone who is inspired by fairies or the magical world, it’s a fun way to celebrate spring.” The sixth annual Fairyville is set for April 18 to 21 at NPA, 107 S. 8th St. The event starts with Winged Weekdays April 18-20 from noon to 5 p.m., with Fairy Tea Parties at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. daily. McGill said the entire event usually draws between 200 and 300 people. Fairy Friday (April 20) and Sprite Saturday (April 21) are typically the busiest days. “We’ll have music, storytellers and all sorts of fun stuff going on that (Friday) evening,” McGill said. “We have the Fairyville Trail set up. We have two branches of the trail this year, which is new. One branch will be the Nickel Plate campus west toward the River Walk and it will go along the River Walk. Then the other branch there will be Fairyville district around the historic square. Merchants are joining in with us and decorating their doors to show their doors are fairyfriendly, too.” The fairy houses will be displayed along the trail. “It’s kind of like a treasure hunt. You can get a map so you can find them all,” McGill said. There also will be fairy storytelling and a Fairy Home awards show April 20. The April 21 events feature fairy crafts, fairy-themed face painting and more Fairy Tea Parties from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with tea parties starting at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. There will live be music by Resonate150 on the evenings of April 20 and April 21.

Follow the North Star to return By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie’s program depicting slavery and the journey for freedom along the Underground Railroad in 1836 HISTORY will return for its 20th season from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. April 20, 21, 27 and 28. “Follow the North Star is an immersive, participatory museum theater experience where we invite visitors to assume the role of an enslaved person seeking freedom in 1836 on the Underground Railroad,” said Catherine Hughes, director of museum theater and research at Conner Prairie. “You encounter a variety of characters that are people representing different attitudes and perspectives from that day. Some are friendly, and some are not.” Participants go through an orientation prior to the program and a debrief after. Participants must be 12 or older. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. During orientation, all participants receive a white fabric and are advised that if the event becomes too intense, they are to tie the fabric around their heads. If used, they will still experience the program but

from a more-removed position. Participants using the fabric can opt to remove it again to rejoin the program. Typically, participating groups consist of 15 to 17 people. Many participants are from local schools. “The majority of our audience has developed organically into school groups because (the subject matter) ties in with eighth grade and 11th-grade Indiana history curriculum,” Hughes said. “It’s a very powerful experience, so teachers have really committed themselves to the program for many years because they saw such a great response in their students.” Tickets are $17 to $20 and can be purchased at connerprairie.org.
Cool Creek Series adds concert By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Hamilton County Parks Dept. officials, more might be better with the Cool Creek Summer Concert Series. MUSIC “The demand last year to extend the popular concert series into August was so great that the department decided to test the concept of staging six performances this year,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist for Hamilton County Parks. “If it goes well, we’ll look into making it a permanent addition to the series.” The 24th annual Cool Creek Concert Series, sponsored by the Clay Township Trustee Office and Board, is held at Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st Street, Carmel/Westfield. The concerts begin with Cook and Belle June 15, followed by My Yellow Rickshaw June 22, Blue River Band June 29, Polkaband July 13 and ESB July 20 and The Flying Toasters Aug. 3. Blue River Band is appearing for the first time. “Twice, the band has won the 8 Seconds Saloon ‘Country Battle of the Bands,’ and we’re looking forward to this group of talented country musicians lighting up our stage,” Nicholls said. “The park staff works

diligently to research and book a variety of music genres for our fans. Because this event is a series, we are able to do just that. However, the one common characteristic that we demand of all performers being considered is that they engage our fans.” Nicholls said attendance varies based on weather conditions, band following and other events taking place in the area.

What to get: Meatballs, you ask? Yes, meatballs. The best part is a small sample of the featured sauces are brought to your table. After much deliberation, I chose the marinara sauce over three meatballs, with a side of fried potatoes. A healthy dose

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville kitchen expansion Commentary by Larry Greene
AFTER SOLUTIONS
Before
Background Info: This 1980s home in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Zionsville is a perfect space for the homeowners to raise their family. The original kitchen, however, made it tough for the busy family to entertain.
BEFORE PROBLEMS The previous kitchen was long and narrow, making it hard for multiple people to be in the space at once. Additionally, the bulkheads made the ceilings appear lower and the room feel smaller. The kitchen contained its original cabinets, which lacked appeal and functionality.
After
The goal was to create a large open-concept kitchen that allowed the homeowners to entertain comfortably and increase overall functionality of the space. 1. The largest modification was removing the wall between the kitchen and the main hallway and utilizing the extra space to add a 10-foot island. 2. Bulkheads were removed and all new ceiling height cabinetry was added to make the space appear larger. 3. The new cabinetry is equipped with accessories, like charging ports and pantry pull-outs, for functional storage. 4. Widening doorways and new flooring made the lower level feel like more of an open concept. 5. New countertops, backsplash, hardware and plumbing fixtures finished off the modern kitchen design.

Starting with an interrobang Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

KENA HOLLINGSWORTH Founding Partner
Kristyn Horvath
CHRISTINA ZIVITZ Founding Partner
Erin Connell
Welcome to the golden age of outrage. If you’re just finishing a 3-year social media cleanse, I’ve got some GRAMMAR GUY bad news for you: People are ticked off. People are royally ticked about pretty much everything: Guns, kneeling, not kneeling, walls, refugees, Starbucks (in general) and anything that remotely resembles a political stance. And, if you’re not outraged about any or all of the above, there’s an outrage for that, too. Because of this, I’d like to put forward a controversial idea (no, I’m not talking about the all-emoji newspaper again): the interrobang. The interrobang (‽) is the passionate love child of the question mark and the exclamation point. And, while it is currently considered a nonstandard form of punctuation, it simultaneously questions your competence and yells at you. How dare you take ______ position on _____ issue‽ Who do you think you are‽ You put pineapples on your pizza‽ What’s wrong with you‽ The interrobang is distinctly American: insulting, yet efficient. Conceived by Martin Speckter in 1962,
the idea of the interrobang actually gained some popularity for a hot second. Although most of our computer fonts don’t support it, the interrobang was available on select typewriters in the late 1960s into the 1970s. I think we’re living in the midst of the interrobang era; therefore, it’s time to bring it into the mainstream. But in order to type it easily, we’d have to vote off one of the characters on our standard computer keyboards. What symbol gets the boot? How about the tilde (~)? Or maybe the little upside down v thing above the 6 (^)? When’s the last time you used either of those? In the same way that the Merriam-Webster dictionary adds words based on popular usage (and not necessarily critical approval), what does it take to get a punctuation mark added to common usage? If listicle and humblebrag made their way into the dictionary last year, the interrobang should receive serious consideration as an addition to our bag of punctuation options.

Arc de Triomphe in Paris. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Napoleon’s triumphal arch Commentary by Don Knebel The Arc de Triomphe is the most famous monument in Paris, inspiring both a notorious aerial stunt and an honTRAVEL ored American memorial. In 1805, forces under Napoleon defeated Russian and Austrian armies in the Battle of Austerlitz. Now seeing himself in the fashion of victorious Roman emperors, Napoleon decided that he should be able to march his troops into Paris beneath a triumphal arch. He selected Place de l’Étoile (Square of the Star), a plaza at the western end of the Champs Elysees named for its 12 radiating streets, for an arch modeled on Rome’s Arch of Titus. After repeated delays, the 148-foot by 164-foot arch, officially named Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, was dedicated in 1836 during the reign of King Louis Philippe. By this time, Napoleon had been exiled to Helena and never saw his arch, but his body was carried beneath it after being returned to Paris on order of the king in 1840. On July 14, 1919, French troops marched
under the Arc de Triomphe to celebrate their victory in World War I. Three weeks later, a French pilot, offended that airmen had been required to parade on foot, famously flew his biplane through the 48-foot wide arch opening. In 1920, France’s Unknown Soldier was buried beneath the arch. On November 11, 1923, War Minister Andre Maginot lit an eternal flame near the tomb. Each evening at 6:30 p.m., veterans’ groups ceremonially rekindle the flame to remember the sacrifices of French war dead. The moving ceremony inspired Jacqueline Kennedy to place an eternal flame on President Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery. Visitors can climb 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, where they can get a spectacular view of the Champs Elysees, considered by many to be the most beautiful street in the world.

Fresh scents – Place a few drops of essential oil on the cardboard tube inside your toilet paper roll before putting it on the holder. Each time someone unrolls paper, a light fragrance will be released. Try a mix of clove and lemon for a clean aroma. Source: Good Housekeeping
