The 13-year-old suspect charged with shooting a student and teacher at Noblesville West Middle School May 25 made his first public CRIME appearance in Hamilton County Circuit Court last week. Although the hearing was open to the public, no recording devices or cameras were allowed in the courtroom. At the 8:30 a.m. hearing June 11, Judge Todd Ruetz accepted the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office’s juvenile delinquency petition, filed June 5. A fact-finding hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. June 25 and 26, and a trial date was set for July 3. The suspect faces 11 charges, which include: • 2 counts of attempted murder • 2 counts of aggravated battery • 2 counts of battery by means of a deadly weapon • 2 counts of possession of a firearm on school property • 2 counts of dangerous possession of a firearm

• 1 count of possession of a knife on school property The suspect, who appeared with his parents, will remain at the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center, where he has been since his May 25 arrest. The suspect allegedly opened fire in the seventh-grade science classroom of Jason Seaman May 25 at Noblesville West Middle School, shooting fellow student Ella Whistler first before Seaman disarmed him. Seaman also was shot three times, once in the forearm, once in the hip and once in the abdomen. He was released from the hospital the following day. Whistler was reportedly shot seven times. Her family said she is still recovering in the hospital and is in stable condition. Seaman attended the hearing. In a statement released June 5, Hamilton County Prosecutor D. Lee Buckingham said the suspect in this case is not eligible to be tried in adult court because of his age. Because he is under 14, he cannot be waived to adult court because the victims of the shooting survived their injuries.

As part of an upgrade to the northern Old Town storm sewer systems, Noblesville Utilities has begun installing storm ROADS pipe and bricks on Clinton and Logan streets downtown. Construction began in August 2017 to separate combination sewers so stormwater flows to White River and sanitary sewage is sent to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. “Prior to this project, stormwater and sewage both ran to the treatment plant, which causes additional workload to the plant, especially in times of flooding or high rainfall,” Noblesville Utilities Director Ray Thompson said. “The project will improve drainage during heavy downpours as well.” Construction resumed in April after a break during the winter on the installation of three storm sewers on 12th Street running east at Clinton, Logan and Conner streets and another storm sewer between Monument and Grant streets down 12th Street. Sidewalk restoration and work on rain gardens at 10th and Wayne streets will be completed by early July. All roads affected by the sewer system project that have not been permanently repaired will be milled and repaved this summer in conjunction with the city’s scheduled street rehabilitation projects. Thompson said milling will begin June 18, weather permitting, after all underground work is complete. Repaving will begin June 25 and be completed in July. The project is ahead of schedule. It was originally scheduled to be finished by October.

Proposed ‘Brooks Farm’ could bring 314 homes to Noblesville By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

A Gradison Land Development, Inc. project to bring 314 homes to east Noblesville could soon begin. DEVELOPMENT At its June 12 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council heard a presentation and rezoning request from Gradison for Brooks Farm, a 124-acre housing development at the northwest corner of 156th Street and Summer Road. Gradison is requesting the entire property be rezoned from low-density singlefamily residential to moderate/high density single-family residential. The mixed residential community would bring 46 duplex-like homes, “villas,” which would be built by Lennar Corp. All singlestory, the homes would average approximately $275,000. Similar homes already exist in the nearby Chapel Woods, near northeast corner of Greenfield Avenue and Union Chapel Road. Another 268 single-family homes would

round out the project – 128 of which would be built by Lennar Corp. and average $300,000, and 140 of which would be built by PulteGroup, Inc. and average $325,000. However, Gradison said the focal point of Brooks Farm would be a farmhouse-style amenity center, to be known as “Brooks Barn.” The shelter area that looks like a barn would be the venue for neighborhood events and gatherings. Gradison said construction, if rezoning is approved, would begin in spring 2019. A public hearing on the rezone request will be held at the next council meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. June 26 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St., Noblesville.

HCAA remembers Ken Bloomhorst, renames scholarship in his memory By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Artists’ Association members remember Ken Bloomhorst as a man who got the job COVER STORY done, no matter the task. “Ken was really instrumental in helping fix up this place from the beginning,” longtime HCAA member Patty Mac Innis said. Bloomhorst died in January. He was born in 1932. In addition to fixing up the HCAA, he was a member and was its the public relations chair for several years. Much of Bloomhorst’s art was graphic or Bloomhorst digital, but he also painted. Bloomhorst donated his time and labor to the HCAA Birdie Gallery at 195 S. Fifth St. in downtown Noblesville. Today, the HCAA is again renovating the gallery to help preserve the work done by Bloomhorst and other volunteers. The HCAA recently closed the gallery to complete renovations on the outside of the brightly colored building, which included paint and repairs. Bloomhorst also gave financially, enabling the association to grant an annual $1,000 scholarship to two Hamilton County high school seniors looking to pursue art in secondary education. Although Bloomhorst was a regular financial donor, Mac Innis said the association will be fine. In December 2017, the City of Noblesville waived the final payment of $30,000 for the building and transferred the land deed to the HCAA after it had paid a monthly fee to the city for 11 years. The primary reason the city waived the fee and transferred the deed was because of the continuous improvements to the building, which was originally a First Baptist Church in 1873. Many of those improvements were a result of Bloomhorst’s work. “The HCAA will be fine. Thanks to the generosity of the city, we now have enough in savings to fix up the building,” Mac Innis said. “It (was) in need of painting. If it hadn’t been for the generosity of Ken, we would’ve been in a much less stable place.”

In 2006, Bloomhorst’s wife, Roberta, commonly known as Birdie, died. The HCAA gallery, previously known as the Hamilton County Arts Center, was renamed The Birdie Gallery in 2007. “He was such a kind heart, to be that generous with the scholarship and the gallery,” Mac Innis said. “He believed in this building, especially because of the connection with his wife. He chose this building as a memorial to his wife. He never stopped giving.” HCAA member Sue Payne lived next to Bloomhorst in Fishers for many years. She often encouraged him to come to HCAA

meetings or submit some of his work in shows. “The one thing that stands out to me about Ken is he had the most remarkable memory and unending litany of stories about people that he met, places he traveled,” Payne said. “He did write memoirs at the end of his life, but he could go on and on. He was remarkable. He knew everybody. He quit coming here, but then I joined three years ago and said, ‘Ken, let’s go to meetings. You want to go? I’ll take you,’ so he started coming again. It was important to him.” For more, visit hcaa-in.org.

The Hamilton County Artists’ Association’s annual scholarship of $1,000 was renamed the Hamilton County Artists’ Association Bloomhorst Visual Arts Scholarship in memory of Ken Bloomhorst, a longtime member of the gallery.

Dai plans to attend the Rhode Island School of Design and major in graphic design.

Critical replies

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker As the tide rolls in with the phases of the moon, the afternoon surge of email and other communication is predictable. New information is posted, articles published and requests sent. We go to our mailbox, whether encountering physical correspondence or the electronic sort, to address the interactions. Some is of the marketing variety, trying to draw attention to their product, service or nonpprofit. Some is of the business variety, updates to balances, changes to agreements or reminders for needed action. And still more is of a weighty collection of matters – personal and business letters, checks and deposits or pressing decisions that require our input. We triage, sort and ameliorate each. Most are quickly scanned and recycled. Others are processed and cataloged. But a few require response. Questions are asked with the sender holding motion until our rejoinder. With note of the irony, it is in this very most important of the categories where we often procrastinate. Setting aside critical matters for future consideration, we postpone our attentions until some other, nonspecific time. When a message contains three questions (two to be answered with little thought and one requiring some deliberation), we respond only to the two, ignoring what must have been the most pressing in the mind of the sender. Shouldn’t we make clear our intention to answer (or not) the unanswered at some defined point yet to come? Like an undiagnosed and selective attention deficit disorder, are we dancing around the most difficult and, one could surmise, most critical while paying clear attention to the inconsequential?

Driving to the coast this summer? You’re in luck! Based on recent experience, I’ve developed a cost-benefit analysis of the various options. You’re welcome. HUMOR Like my youngest sister, your first choice might be the standard, “Leave Early in the Morning and Drive All Day.” On the plus-side, everyone gets a good night’s sleep and drivers are alert for the trip’s entirety. But on the negative, sticker charts and coloring books won’t distract toddlers for long, and the late afternoon traffic will have everyone in tears before arrival. Only opt for this route if you have access to a prep team with chilled wine. My middle sister decided to split the 12hour journey in two, driving roughly 60 percent on Friday and the remainder on Saturday. Benefits included significantly less lumbar pain, a decent amount of sleep and pool time for her young teenagers who couldn’t possibly spend one more second on their phones. Of course, the downside was the cost of a hotel room and the dead battery she discovered at the onset of Day 2. Prep team, we’re gonna need more Chardonnay! Doo and I elected last-minute to drive straight through the night. There was virtually no traffic, only one Cracker Barrel stop and markedly lower brattiness levels among our kids. But my eyes started crossing around 1 a.m., Doo almost killed us outside of Asheville with his sleep-deprived impersonation of a Formula 1 racer, and our entire six-pack was on the verge of mutually assured destruction as we pulled up to the beach house that wouldn’t be available for another eight hours. As you can see from this analysis, your best bet is to fly. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

The Fishers Plan Commission hosted a public hearing June 6 on a new Riverview Health Urgent Care DEVELOPMENT facility in Fishers. A concept plan for the new medical facility, along with proposed site plans, indicate that the building would encompass 10,700 square feet on 2.2 acres at the northwest corner of 116th Street and Exit Five Parkway, just to the east of TopGolf. In February, Riverview announced plans to open at least four additional urgent care centers in central Indiana, including Fishers, Carmel and Indianapolis. City Planner Megan Schaefer said the proposed Fishers facility would have a sculpture garden with a mix of trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials. The front facade of the facility would face 116th Street, but a city ordinance bans planting on the frontage of the building. President and CEO of Riverview Health Seth Warren said patients often aren’t aware what health care options are available.

“What we have proposed has emergency room physicians providing care,” Warren said. “So, if you show up with an ear infection, you’re going to be billed on an urgentcare level. We want to be here so if people have a health care issue or need, they don’t have to start looking for and trying to find where it is to seek that care.” The facility also will house an emergency vehicle pickup bay for ambulances. Commissioners voted unanimously to send the Riverview Health planned unit development to the Fishers City Council with a favorable recommendation. The next plan commission meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. July 11 at City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr. For more, visit fishers.in.us.

Youth piano competition showcases talent, offers scholarships By Maria Cook editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition will PERFORMANCE return to Carmel for its fifth year. From June 27 to July 1, artists ages 5 to 18 will compete for awards and scholarships. Competitors represent 16 states and 15 nations, including China, the United Kingdom and Russia. Areas of competition include solo, duet and concerto. Carmel Klavier President Irina Gorin has more than 35 years of experience teaching piano to grade-school students, both in the Ukraine and the U.S. After several years of observing other international piano competitions, Gorin realized there was a need for a more inclusive competition which could bring youth from around the world to Carmel. “I always was taking my students to numerous local, national and international competitions and was not happy with politics, venues, judging system, rivalry and high costs in many,” Gorin said. “I always wanted the competition for youth to be a celebration of talent, encouragement and motivation for children. I had this idea of bringing young talents from around the world to Carmel and giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent in beautiful buildings and stages as well as to attract world-renowned judges and artists to educate the youth and perform for the Carmel community and competition participants.” In addition to competing for scholarships, such as the $16,000 scholarship offered to a selected finalist by Indiana Wesleyan University, Carmel Klavier participants also compete for a variety of prestigious opportunities. In 2017, 9-yearold Lauren Lo, Fishers, was a recipient of the Contemporary Composer’s Award presented by Elena Cobb. The award includes an opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where stars such as The Beatles and Julie Andrews have performed.

“I got to play on Elton John’s red piano,” Lo said after her April 5 performance. Lo’s mother, Christine Lo, said Carmel Klavier has changed the way her daughter approaches piano. “The experience has given her more confidence with performing in public and has inspired her to practice even more,” Christine Lo said. “The camaraderie and energy in the recital hall was electric and definitely something she will cherish for a lifetime. Opportunities of this nature are so positive and give young performers like Lauren a chance to connect with other young pianists and to see the world.” For older competitors, Carmel Klavier can be an important starting point for

their musical careers. Ari Brown, Carmel, competed in Carmel Klavier in 2014. He is now 21 years old and studying music composition at the New England Conservatory of Music and Computer Science at Tufts University in Boston. “Whether or not I won, practicing to compete at the rigorous level set by the Carmel Klavier both developed work ethic and creativity that I can now apply to problem-solving in so many other fields,” Brown said. “Practicing for my performance, attending master classes and engaging with the other performers at Carmel Klavier were invaluable experiences in my path to attending New England Conservatory of Music. The Carmel Klavier strikes an unprecedented balance between rewarding excellence and celebrating the arts with everyone, which is a difficult task in competitive environments. All competitors walk away feeling a sense of personal accomplishment, which is the type of support that fueled my desire to continue into a creative major.” Carmel Klavier will take place at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Selected finalists also will have an opportunity to perform solos, concertos, duets, ensembles and the pieces of featured composers at The Palladium in Carmel.

GHDT presents ‘Hunchback’ By Heather Collins editorial@yourarecurrent.com Through his craft, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre company dancer Isaac Jones expresses the hunch and humanDANCE ity of Quasimodo. Gregory Hancock of GHDT said Quasimodo is the most challenging role he’s ever created for a dancer. Jones doesn’t have a fake hunch on his back. Instead, he finds different ways to contort and distort his body to portray the central character of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” like bending, lifting and changing his footing. “I feel like every time I run it, I find new ways to find that distortion within the character,” Jones said. GHDT’s production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” set for 7 p.m. June 29 and 30 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, reminds people to look past appearances. “(Quasimodo) is not the suave, handsome man,” Jones said. “But in the end, he’s one of the most beautiful characters in the show.” Taylar Green, who plays Esmeralda, said

GHDT’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame’’ premiered in 2005 and is one of Gregory Hancock’s favorite pieces. This is the first year new dancers will take on the roles of Quasimodo and Esmeralda. (Photo by Noah Alatza)

she believes the characters connect so well because of their humanity. The show is one of GHDT’s most elaborate and intricate full-length ballets and a favorite of Hancock’s. The performance will be the closer for GHDT’s 20th anniversary season. “The story is so beautiful and tragic, and then to interpret that into dance is really beautiful,” Hancock said. “It’s my all-time favorite piece.” Tickets are $42.50 for adults and $37.50 for students and seniors. For tickets, visit gregoryhancockdancetheatre.org.

2017 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Doobie Brothers guitarist Patrick Simmons, touring with other rock groups in the summer has been a delight. CONCERT “It’s nice playing with other bands whose music you admire and enjoy,” Simmons said. “To check out what they’re doing every night is a big perk for other musicians, to be able to suck in the talent and artistry.” The Doobie Brothers will join Steely Dan in a 7:30 p.m. concert June 24 at Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center. The Doobie Brothers toured with Journey in 2016 and Chicago in 2017. The Doobies will join the Eagles for concerts in San Francisco and San Diego in September. “It’s kind of standard to give concertgoers a little more bang for their buck,” Simmons said. “Our entire career we’ve performed with other bands on and off. We play some shows on our own, too. These tours are a little more upscale.” Simmons, 69, couldn’t imagine being part of the Doobie Brothers this long when they formed in 1970. “I didn’t even think I’d be alive this long, to be honest with you,” Simmons said. “It’s

a gift, for sure.” Simmons said he’s been fortunate to work with great songwriters. He wrote several songs for the Doobies, including the No. 1 hit “Black Water.” Simmons has been the one constant in the band. Tom Johnston had to take a leave of absence for health reasons in 1975 and was replaced by Michael McDonald, who brought a more soulful approach. Johnston eventually quit the band in 1977. The band disbanded in 1982 with McDonald pursuing a solo career. The Doobies reformed in 1987 with Johnston back on lead vocals. For more, visit livenation.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian Kessler three seasons room Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

Before

Background info: This 1925 bungalow in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood of northern Indianapolis was the perfect space for the owner and family, but the backyard lacked the same charm the rest of the home possessed.

The goal was to create a space that the homeowner and family can utilize throughout more of the year for leisure and entertainment. 1. The largest transformation came from eliminating the deck and replacing it with a three-seasons porch. The porch was created using EZE-Breeze Venting Windows, which allow for up to 75 percent ventilation. 2. The interior of the three-seasons room was finished with the addition of a gas fireplace, plank-wood flooring and a lighting plan. 3. The exterior of the porch addition was finished to match the remainder of the home, making the addition appear as if it were a part of the original home. 4. Another major change came from the addition of a stamped concrete patio with a seating wall and gas fire pit.

After

BEFORE PROBLEMS The backyard had minimal space, as do many homes in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood, so the homeowner wanted to find a way to better utilize their space throughout more of the year. The back of the home lacked hardscaping and landscaping.

An identical jar lies at the TRAVEL bottom of the Red Sea. In the 18th century, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II constructed a city in northwest India to be the capital of his Amber Kingdom. He named the city Jaipur after himself and erected an imposing palace near the city’s center. In 1876, important city buildings, including the palace, were painted pink to celebrate the official visit of Queen Victoria’s son, Prince Edward, making Jaipur the Pink City. Upon Victoria’s death in 1901, Edward, now King Edward VII of England and Emperor of India, invited Jaipur’s then-ruling maharaja, Madho Singh II, to his coronation. Hindu religious leaders conditioned Madho Singh’s trip on finding a ship that had never served beef and carrying with him sufficient water so that he and his entourage would never have to use English water for drinking or bathing. A brand new

steamboat satisfied the first condition. The second condition was met by filling each of three identical silver jars with 900 gallons of water from the sacred Ganges River. Each jar, made from 14,000 melted silver coins, was more than 5 feet tall and weighed 750 pounds. During the ship’s passage through the Red Sea on the way to London, the waters became unusually rough. Worried Hindu priests on board convinced the maharaja to placate Varuna, the god of the sea, by tossing him one of the silver jars, after which the trip proceeded without incident. The maharaja attended the king’s coronation and the king inspected the maharaja’s water jars. The two remaining jars are now displayed inside Jaipur’s pink City Palace, where guards use their mirror-like surfaces to assure that their turbans are positioned correctly.

Keep tools on the table — To keep X-Acto knives, pencils or any round tools from rolling off the table, put zip ties around them. Tighten the tie around the tool, then clip off the excess. The zip-tie head acts as a stopper. Source: FamilyHandyman.com

Crispy cookies — To keep crispy cookies from getting soggy, lightly crumple a piece of tissue paper. Place it in the bottom of the cookie container under the cookies. This allows limited air movement, which will enhance the crispness. Source: BottomLinePersonal
