Committee working to build off city’s history to enhance and protect downtown district

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com For nearly three years, a small committee of city leaders and downtown stakeholders have worked to direct COVER STORY money from a new city fund to make improvements to Noblesville’s downtown district. In 2016, the Noblesville Common Council approved a trash fee. Prior to passage, residents did not pay a trash fee and the city paid for trash pick-up. Now, the residents’ fees pay for trash services, and the money that has been freed for the city to fund new police officers, street resurfacing and the Downtown District Committee budget. Receiving $500,000 annually, the Downtown District Committee was formed in 2017 under thenNoblesville Common Council President Megan Wiles. “The Downtown District Committee was creWiles ated when I was council president because we had implemented the trash fee. It was started to be collected in 2016, but only a half-year was collected that year,” Wiles said. “I became council president Taylor in 2017, and I wanted to make sure that the monies that were being collected as part of (the trash fee) were really going for enhancements for downtown versus regular maintenance, curb repairs, things like that.” The committee consists of various stakeholders, including four council members (Wiles, Rick Taylor, Darren Peterson and Wil Hampton), representatives from Noblesville Main Street, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and Nickel Plate Arts and downtown business and building owners. “We started brainstorming about what we wanted, and the group as a whole said we want Noblesville to have that ‘wow factor,’” Wiles said. “We already have a beautiful downtown that lots of other communities are trying to replicate, but how do we make it so when people come here, they say, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is just so cool.’” “We really want the results of our plan (the streetscape master plan) to speak for

itself,” committee chair Rick Taylor said. “We’ve got the town. We don’t need to recreate it, but we do want to enhance it. We want to protect what we have and protect the history, but it has to stay vibrant for the future. When we were developing the (Downtown) Streetscape Master Plan, we went around to several cities and looked at their downtowns just for ideas. “This is such a nice plan because it lets us pick and choose out of it what’s fitting for Noblesville as we work into the future. We’ve just scratched the surface, and I think five or six years from now, we’ll really have an even bigger ‘wow factor’ than we have now.” Taylor said the first year was spent

organizing and developing the plan. Now, physical changes downtown are starting to take shape, especially on the downtown square, where fixtures like benches, streetlights and trash cans have been changed from green to black. The multi-year project began earlier this year, beginning from the courthouse square through the downtown district. The current phase also calls for new sidewalk planters and improvements to the brick-patterned sidewalk outside the public safety building at Ninth and Maple streets. Wiles said those would likely be cast stone, and the first order should be received this summer. She said functional streetlights that were removed have been saved for

later use in other spots throughout the city. “The number of streetlights in the downtown district is in the hundreds,” Wiles said. “So, it’s going to take us awhile to get all of it switched over based on the resources we have.” Taylor said the city is being intentional in its approach. “By having the plan to work from, we’re trying to do (these projects) the right way,” Taylor said. “We didn’t want to just jump in with taxpayers’ money and start immediately making changes to have to go back later and say it didn’t work. By this time next summer, I think people will really see what we’re trying to do.”

ESSAY Time passages

LETTER Jensen working for you every day

Commentary by Terry Anker Preparations are well under way for the impending high school graduation of our youngest. With the milestone has come the review of countless photographs, each imbued with countless memories. Somewhere along the way, he grew up. And it is good. Still, the years have marched by with such grandeur and fanfare that we barely noticed. Now, there he stands, on the brink of heading off into the world. To be entirely honest, the tempest can leave one breathless. How can he be ready to go? How can we be ready to let him? Just as we indulged in a bit of anxiety-nurturing self-pity, the evening mail arrived and in it was an invitation, cleverly marked with the familiar banner from the newspaper printed in my very own high school decades ago. The class president and a committee of familiar names were summoning me home to recognize the accomplishment of a high school graduation occurring long before cellphones, electric cars or social media. While distracted by the advancing years of our progeny, our own anniversaries were ticking away. How could so much time have passed? There must be some mistake. Unique among most things in the physical world, time moves more slowly the closer one is to it. Were we to stare at our watch, it would take significant commitment to endure as the second hand swept around the face. Yet, we sit comfortably while the years fly by, waiting to take action. Self-improvement, work on broken or damaged family relationships and bucket lists written but never implemented loom as we imagine time to be the lumbering second hand rather than a whipping hurricane. Can it be both? Do we have time to decide? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Fun at a funeral Commentary by Danielle Wilson Funerals. Is it wrong to say that under the right circumstances, they can be a lot of fun? Case in point, I’ve just returned from a weekend to celebrate the life HUMOR of my best friend’s dad. He was 88, had a remarkable career as a trial attorney and was one of the nicest men I have known. As I gathered with her, my twin sister and two of our other close gal pals, we realized that we hadn’t been together since our 20-year high school reunion back in 2010. Sure, there were tears (not from me, of course, at least not publicly because I bottle up emotions until they erupt unexpectedly in a drive-thru). But overall, there was joy and laughter and hysterical memories of teenage antics. Two of us had brought along scrapbooks from the late 1980s, depicting self-organized photo shoots in taffeta gowns and big hair. We giggled at how skinny we all were but how fat we remembered

being. We recalled awkward school dances and scandalous spring break vacations, forgotten boyfriends and girl dramas, stupid wine coolers and even stupider fad diets. We even learned a few new things about each other, like the fact that two of our “Fab Five” secretly went to the Bahamas without any of us knowing! The best part, though, was enjoying the true friendship that can only come after 30 years of knowing someone, of experiencing marriage and motherhood and, now, loss together.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough.”

-Mario Andretti

Editor, I want to encourage you to vote for Chris Jensen for mayor of Noblesville. When Chris was a high school senior, he attended my Luke Kenley Leadership Conference in the Indiana Senate. Later, as a college senior at Butler University, he took a semester off and worked for me as my lowpaid Senate intern in order to experience the political world. Later, he worked full time for Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman. Throughout all this experience, Chris has always been up, never down. He took on every assignment willingly and with a sense of enthusiasm that marks a good public servant. All these experiences built a background, which will serve him in good stead. When you add to that Chris’ love of Noblesville and enthusiasm for our future, coupled with a willingness to work hard, you have an exceptional person working for you every day. Chris listens, he considers, he projects enthusiasm, he collaborates and he produces great results. I am proud of Chris’s accomplishments and more so of his personal traits. I hope you will join me in electing Chris as our next mayor. Luke Kenley, Noblesville

Parking problem solution Commentary by Rocky Shanehsaz Is there a parking problem in downtown Noblesville? I guess it depends on who you ask, what time of GUEST COLUMN day it is and whether it’s on the weekend or during the week. For some, parking is just a “perceived” problem, but a perceived problem is a problem, nonetheless. It keeps people from visiting our historic downtown and enjoying the amenities. To solve the parking problem, the city administration has adopted many ordinances and strategies to add more parking spaces downtown through the years, and now provides a color-coded directional map to help visitors navigate their way to a paid public spot. City and county leaders also have discussed building parking garages or remote parking lots for county employees, and other businesses in the area have talked about buying up smaller or stressed-out properties and turning them into parking lots. This would be the most detrimental thing we could do to the vibrancy of our downtown. To build a parking garage, the average capital investment per space is $27,000 to $32,000, according to the city’s study on

parking garages. That’s what many municipalities are paying for parking garages. It costs more to park a car than to buy most new ones. I prefer the more visionary approach of building upward and solving the parking problem once and for all. We need the most cost-effective and efficient plan that gives access to everyone all the time, and not just on weekends. We need to build a parking elevator with modern technology that holds more cars by stacking them into tighter spaces, and the exterior could be designed to match the historic architecture of the downtown. A parking elevator only costs on average $6,000 to $8,000 per parking spot. We could go eight stories high in the same footprint as The Levinson but fit 64 cars per floor or a total of 512 cars packed into the same space. I think that would be a much better deal to build a parking garage in downtown Noblesville. Read more at youarecurrent.com.

Corbett’s next key principals Commentary by Mike Corbett As a candidate for mayor, there are five key principals driving my campaign. In a previous column GUEST COLUMN (published April 16), I discussed greater transparency and the value of historic preservation in economic development efforts. In this column, I’ll discuss the final three principals. My third principle is a greater respect for the Noblesville taxpayer. Noblesville’s city tax rate is the third-highest in the county. Our city rate is 33 percent higher than Westfield’s and Carmel’s, and 52 percent higher than Fishers,’ and that doesn’t even include the trash fee – a tax disguised as a fee. Noblesville also has had more school referendums than any other community in the state, which raises our taxes even higher. Noblesville taxpayers have been very patient, but we deserve better value for the taxes we pay. The fourth principle is to maintain our small-town values, emphasizing responsible development with a preference for locally

owned businesses and a dense and thriving urban core. Small-town values are easy to define. Do you know your neighbors? Do you have a social safety net? Can you age inplace? Are you getting good value for your tax dollars and, if not, do you know how to change that? These are just some of the values common to small towns that become more difficult to maintain as a community grows. Responsible development has those values as a driving force, and locally owned businesses keep money and talent in the community. A thriving urban core sets the tone for the rest of the city. The fifth and final principle is to work with a sense of urgency on infrastructure development. Our roads, parks, downtown and gateways are all in need of attention. The election is May 7.

Stock of the Week — The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) is incorrectly seen by many investors as just a brokerage offering low-priced investments. But that is only part of the story. To get high ongoing returns, companies must possess sustainable advantages.Of the different types, behavioral ones are the most enduring. That is what Schwab has, because it owns a bank in addition to its investment arm. It pays low interest on cash deposits, including ones held by Schwab investors — who, for behavioral reasons, stay with the convenience of easy in-and-out money within the Schwab platform. This low cost of funds boosts Schwab’s whole business. And as a bank, it can lend — at high rates — for everything from margin loans to mortgages. All this is on top of the better-known part of Schwab’s business, in the brokerage field. Even if the U.S. economy slows over the next couple of years, Schwab’s banking strength should help it achieve continued revenue and earnings growth. Revenue was $10.13 billion last year and is likely to be $11.07 billion this year and $11.76 billion in 2020. And Schwab’s dividend of $0.68/share/yr. recently yielded 1.53 percent and appears secure. Source: BottomLineInc.com

Picking the best movie theater seat — Even if you love the film you’re watching, getting stuck with a bad seat in the movie theater is all it takes to ruin your cinema experience. Some seats are obviously not ideal, like seats in the very front row or at the edges of the auditorium. But when it comes to all that room in the middle, picking the perfect place to sit may feel like guesswork. According to Popular Science, you shouldn’t select your movie theater seat at random. To see as much of the action as possible, sit in a chair that lines you up with the center of the screen. Moviegoers in this spot will also enjoy better sound quality: Theaters with surround sound blast audio from speakers around the room, creating a harmony that strikes a perfect balance in the middle of the theater. Sitting in the middle of a row may seem like an obvious tip, but things get a little more complicated when deciding how far away from the screen you should be. Instead of choosing the deadcenter row, Vulture recommends sitting about two-thirds of the way back. This is where audio engineers do the primary tests on a theater’s sound system, so the middle seat of this row ends up giving moviegoers the optimal sound experience. Source: Mentalfloss.com

Coping with caregiver stress Commentary by Jill Dodson If you help a loved one who is elderly, ill or disabled, you are a caregiver. Even though the bathing, feeding FAMILY and other assistance you provide is a labor of love, this “job” can take its toll on you. When caring for loved ones, it’s common for caregivers to put their own health and wellness aside, putting them at risk for many other health problems. Take care of yourself It’s important that you manage your stress and protect your health. Don’t forget the following: • Get enough sleep, eat well and schedule regular health appointments. • If you work, talk with your boss about designing a work schedule that allows flexibility for your caregiver tasks. • Set aside time for regular exercise. • Keep up your hobbies, interests and friendships. If it’s difficult to leave your family member, ask friends to come over for dinner or a movie. • Join an in-person or online support group. • Realize that it’s OK to lose your pa-

tience sometimes. Vent your feelings to a trusted friend or keep a journal. • Be aware of the signs of depression, such as crying, loneliness and changes in sleeping or eating habits. Talk to your doctor if you notice signs. Spread the responsibility You can quickly burn out if you try to do everything yourself. Reach out for help when you can, and consider the following tips: • Develop a schedule that spreads the caregiving or household chores among other family members and friends. • Take the time to pinpoint those aspects of caregiving that seem the most difficult and demanding. You may find that you could use extra help with shopping, meal preparation, cleaning or driving, for example. Then, look into local programs, such as home care and other services that can help with any or all of these tasks. Jill Dodson is an oncology social worker at IU Health North Hospital.

Civic delivers ‘Newsies’ at The Tarkington By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Johnny Miller has a special fondness for “Newsies,” so naturally he is delighted to be part of the cast. THEATER “This is one of my favorite shows of all time with such an amazing cast,” Miller said. “I can’t wait for opening night. I can’t wait for the people to come see it. I can’t find anything I don’t like. I’ve listened to it quite a few times.” Miller, a Park Tudor High School junior and Carmel resident, plays Buttons in “Newsies,” which Civic Theatre presents April 26 to May 11 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The musical is based on the Disney film. Jake Letts, a Carmel High School graduate and a Ball State student, plays the lead role of Jack Kelly. Kelly is the charismatic leader of the newsboys and helps lead a strike when New York World publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price the newsboys must pay to buy the newspapers from the distribution centers. It is loosely based on New York City’s newsboys’ strike of 1899. Miller has acted in the Civic’s summer program, but this is his first main stage show with Civic. “I’m a singer who happens to move,” Miller said. “I’m definitely in the ensemble, but I kind of do a little bit of everything. Anne Beck, our choreographer, keeps me busy. I have so much fun, it overshadows any problems.” Miller said he became interested in musical theater a couple of years ago. “It was my sister who first showed me this show,” Miller said. “That was my entry into really getting into the theater world. This show means something special to me, for sure.” In Civic’s Young Artists Program, Miller appeared in “Grease” as Roger, one of the T Birds, in 2017 and played one of the gamblers in “Guys and Dolls.” Carmel High School sophomore Emily Chrzanowski plays Les, a newsboy. “I’ve seen the Disney movie and I’ve watched the Broadway stage version,” Chrzanowski said. “The music is amaz-

ing. I love the music. It so touching and the story is so beautiful. Even though it’s taken place over a century ago, it really resonates with today’s environment.” Chrzanowski also performed in “Guys and Dolls” in 2018. On Civic’s main stage in the 2017-18 season, Chrzanowski played Kate, the orphan, in “Annie” and was in the choir for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” “I love dancing, singing and acting. I love it all,” she said. Emily Schaab, a Noblesville resident, is performing in her first show with Civic. Schaab previously performed with Footlite Musicals and the old Theatre on the Square, which is now The District Theatre.

Schaab plays several different roles. “My main role is Hannah, a secretary,” she said. “I also play a nun, a bowery beauty and a newsie named Newbie.” Schaab said she enjoys playing the mix of characters. “I love the opportunity to play several different characters,” said Schaab, who is originally from New Palestine. “It’s been really fun for me.” Schaab said she has seen the Broadway version several times on Netflix. “I really wanted to do a Civic show, so it was kismet that it was the right time,” she said. “I auditioned and they put me where they needed me.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

ATI stages ‘Forbidden Broadway’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell and his fellow actors had one problem during the first rehearsal for “Forbidden PARODY Broadway: It’s Back, It’s New and Better than Ever.” “It’s like we all reverted back to high school,” Farrell said. “We were constantly cracking each other up. We Farrell have to get the laughs out of the way now so that we don’t laugh on stage and we allow the audience to laugh.” Actors Theatre of Indiana founders Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins, along with Logan Moore, are appearing in the musical parody from April 26 to May 19 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “We’re making it fresh for those who have seen what we’ve done in the past,” Farrell said. “And it’s going to be great for people that have never seen it before. It’s zany. A lot of the shows we are parodying have been done in the area. We’re doing something on ‘Newsies,’ which Civic Theatre will be doing at the same time.”

ATI had staged “Forbidden Broadway” in 2011 and then a version at District Theatre in Indianapolis in July 2018 There are 28 Broadway shows parodied in the performance. Billy Kimmel directed the District Theatre production and is returning to direct again. Kimmel estimated 85 percent of the material has changed since the July show. Some greatest hits Kimmel are staples, Kimmel said. Kimmel has been involved with “Forbidden Broadway” since 2003. “I’ve done national tours and Broadway productions through the years,” Kimmel said. “They finished the last version of ‘Forbidden Broadway’ in 2014. The show has been running more than 30 years. It started at a little club in 1982 and grew and grew.” Gerard Alessandrini, creator of “Forbidden Broadway,” is now focused on “Spamilton: An American Parody.” Kimmel and Collins have known each other since attending Ohio University together. Kimmel has acted and directed with ATI since it began in 2005. For more, visit atistage.org.

Chiang Mai Thai Noodle Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 815 E. Westfield Blvd., Indianapolis What to get: Cashew Nut Price: $11.95 Anna’s take: Chiang Mai Thai Noodle has ample menu options. Guests can choose between mild, medium, medium hot, hot, extra hot or Thai hot options. I went with the medium option. If you’re looking for something spicy, I suggest medium hot or hot. I am a big fan of Cashew Nut, a stir-fry

chicken with cashews, carrots, mushrooms, baby corn and bell pepper. Chiang Mai Thai Noodle is right off Westfield Boulevard in Broad Ripple, so the bustling restaurant is an excellent option if you’re looking for an authentic Thai meal while walking the Monon. During warm weather, I suggest you sit on the patio. Suggesting pairings: I had never sampled Thai iced coffee before, and this was a groundbreaking experience for me. It was refreshing and slightly sweet. Get it for $2.99.

Blueprint for Improvement: Building a better bathroom in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: This home was built in 2004 in Carmelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valleybrook neighborhood. The owners fell in love with the location and the layout of the home and knew they could make cosmetic updates to suit their style.

THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted to update several areas, so the projects were planned in phases. Once the interior was complete (including master bath, kitchen, two bathrooms and basement), the homeowners moved in and the exterior phase began.

After

THE SOLUTION This bathroom had great space but hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any updates in several years. The homeowners decided to update the look and layout to create a space they could truly enjoy. 1. The linen closet was removed to allow space for a second master closet, accessed from the bedroom. 2. The cabinetry to the left and right of the sink area features pull-out shelves and an extended depth for ample storage. 3. The bathtub was removed to make way for a larger walk-in shower with two heads. The toilet was relocated to its own room. 4. The quartz countertop and backsplash beautifully complement the black slatetile flooring!
