To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the start of summer! It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose. Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed. As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at these locations each week: • Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza. In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change. We are pleased to announce that freelance humorist Dick Wolfsie’s column will be back in the paper on a weekly basis beginning July 7. As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual. Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well. Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

COUNTY The new candidates are Jake Madore for county treasurer, Michael Roberts for county auditor, Brad Beer for county surveyor, Dan Montgomery for county commissioner District 3 and

Our medical staff is doing this as well. • Providing telemedicine appointments for patients unable to leave home.
When Anna Skinner bangs the gavel for the first time as the Westfield Lions Club president July 2, she ACHIEVEMENT will complete a series of firsts. Skinner, 26, is the first female, the youngest member and the first from Westfield High School’s Leo Club, the Lions Club affiliate for youth, to become president. Outgoing President John Wardlow said Skinner embodies the Lions Club’s mission to serve the local community to the global efforts of Lions Club International. “She serves our community both personally and professionally,” Wardlow said. “She’s an active member and serves in all our events, from picking up trash to our fundraisers. Anna brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to the club. It’s been a tough year with COVID-19, virtual meetings and canceled fundraising events. “Her energy and passion will help carry us forward into a new chapter for the club as we celebrate our club’s 90th anniversary (in October) and recover from a rough year.” Skinner is the managing editor of Current in Noblesville and Current publications in Westfield, Fishers and Geist. The 2013 WHS graduate joined the Leo Club when it started her sophomore year and became the LEO Club’s first president. “It was a new option for me to get leadership experience and get involved in the community as a high school student,” she said. After taking time off for college, Skinner joined the Lions Club in 2016, becoming second vice president in 2018 and first vice

president in 2019. “I like that it’s big on sight and hearing conservation, diabetes (and) cancer, and we help a lot of people in the community through fundraisers and events,” the Fishers resident said. “I like the group of people. They are very loyal to the community, and they like to give back.” In 2017, Skinner became the first woman and youngest member to receive the club’s Lion of the Year award. The award is based on service, contributions and effort. The club is conducting its biweekly meetings through Zoom. Skinner said the club will begin to discuss when to meet in-person under her leadership. Another mission will be making up for canceled fundraising events. Skinner said another focus will be determining the future of the clubhouse, which is next to the Grand Junction construction in downtown Westfield.

Many area residents, along with city and county officials and Humane Society for Hamilton County staff, DEVELOPMENT attended the June 24 groundbreaking ceremony for the HSHC’s new site at 106th Street and Hague Road in Fishers. HCHS Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the effort to build a new shelter began in 2014. “Six years ago, we said it out loud, and we had no clue how we’d get it done,” Stevens said. “For me, it was something I was dreaming about long before that. For about 10 years, it’s been a personal dream of mine and something I’ve been working toward.” Stevens thanked a group of city and county officials and several donors, including Steven Cage, who donated $4 million to the project. The building will be named the Steven J. Cage Foundation Animal Wellness Center. An image of his black cat, Stanley,

whom he adopted from the HCHS, will be painted on the building. Mayor Scott Fadness spoke at the ceremony. “We want to welcome you to our city. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have not only such a tremendous facility but such an inspiring vision,” Fadness said. Construction is expected to be complete in spring 2021.

Celebrating safely
Noblesville’s Fourth of July event moving forward with safety parameters By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although many local municipalities are canceling or dramatically downsizing Fourth of July events, Noblesville is moving ahead with its celebration, albeit with safety measures in place. “Obviously, the health and safety of our citizens is priority No. 1, and we don’t take any decision like this lightly,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “But based on the governor’s Jensen Back on Track plan and CDC guidelines, we are trying to make all decisions based on science and fact.” The city’s celebrations will take place July 4, starting at 4:30 p.m. with a social-distanced outdoor parade. Paraders will not distribute items like candy and will be spaced 6 feet apart. “We also are encouraging spectators to spread out along the parade route,” Jensen said. “There are certain areas that are more highly congested than others, so we are asking those to spread out along Logan (Street), along Ninth Street and along Monument Street to make room for their friends and neighbors. “We felt confident in our ability to accomplish that.” Four grand marshals will take part in the parade. They are James Mackey, representing Noblesville Fire Dept.; Joyce Wood, representing Riverview Health; Jill Maynard, representing Noblesville Schools; and Trevor Schmidt, representing the Noblesville Police Dept. Celebrations also will take place during a festival at Forest Park, 701 Cicero Rd.

“There are hand-washing stations throughout the park, and we have made the decisions to scale back and remove attractions that make it impossible to be socially distant, like inflatables, face painting, rock climbing and zip lining,” Jensen said. “We can still have fun outdoors and enjoy the (celebration) without that, and we felt (those attractions) wouldn’t be safe.” The festival will have food vendors, and the Nickel Plate Express will offer train rides at a limited capacity. A trolley system will be available for visitors who park further away from the event. Drivers will wear face masks and have their temperature taken prior to their shift. The trolley
will be disinfected after each drop-off. The festival also will have live music by Boy Band Review on the park’s golf course. “That allows us to spread out and have a wide viewing area there at the park,” Jensen said. VIP tables sold out a month in advance. Fireworks will take place at Forest Park. A secondary viewing location will be at Federal Hill Commons, 175 Logan St. “We feel with those safety parameters
put in place, we will have a very safe and festive Fourth of July,” Jensen said. “I feel very confident in our community’s ability to maintain their social distance, maintain their individual safety and care about their friends and neighbors. I would rather have people in the parks spread out with sanitizer stations and different safety methods in place than canceling and having small events pop up all over the community which may not have the same parameters in place.” Parking will be limited to permit passes that Forest Park Aquatic Center will sell for the parking lot at the pool. The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce will sell permits for the lot around the Lodge at Forest Park. Proceeds from the chamber’s passes will be used to provide free disposable face masks that will be available to guests while supplies last at the two information booths at the park. Shelter No. 5’s parking lot will be open for disability parking. There will be no other public parking available.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS • 4:30 p.m. — Parade • 6-10 p.m. — Festival • 6:30-9:30 p.m. — Boy Band Review will perform live from the stage • 10 p.m. — Fireworks

LETTER
Too much credit?
Ballot-counting volunteers at risk
Commentary by Terry Anker Who are these overlords? And what do they want from us? As more and more private and public entities demand to know everything about us in order to transact any business online — and more and more of these enterprises seem to store our confidential information in a sieve — credit reporting services have found a boon. These virtual detectives lurk the web to identify and notify if someone attempts to use the information to open a new credit card account or take out a loan. Good. It can be supportive to have a Big Brother watching over our shoulder in the event that a crook has breached the database of our insurer, BMV, IRS or just about anyone that transacts on the internet, and that gap allowed for the nefarious hacker to employ our information to disguise themselves obtaining fraudulent credit and otherwise spending our reputation and hard-earned money. So, we engage FICO and scads of other players to keep an eye on us. They report when our bills are paid, what balance exists on the mortgage and with whom we took it. For some of us, the notifications come daily. With each movement in balance, we hear about it and see a corresponding up or down change in the overall credit score awarded — the one that determines our creditworthiness and access to loans at attractive interest rates. The problem is that there is no instruction book. The companies tasked with controlling our credit do not want us to know how they do it. Pay down debt and get a better score? Maybe. Live addicted to credit cards and get a worse score? Perhaps not. Is too much credit better than too little? Really? How can we play the game if they will not tell us (or know) the rules?

Gonna be a hoot, y’all! Commentary by Danielle Wilson Now that we’re half way through 2020, I think I speak for all of us when I say, “Let’s burn this mother down.” But HUMOR there is a light at the proverbial tunnel. For me, at least. And vicariously for you, dear reader, because I’m about to attend Dance Nationals in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Let that sink in for a moment before you continue. Excited by the column fodder possibilities? You should be! Not only will I be reporting on tarted-up toddlers, tweens and teenagers tapping their toes and twerking their tushes, but also the moms, who are often more bedazzled and dramatic than their daughters. It will be awkward with everyone in masks and attempting to social distance, but I think the safety measures will only increase the intense eye makeup applications and maudlin contemporary routine mishaps. Good times! And should the unthinkable occur and the competition fail to produce any hilarious
antics, there’s always the setting. I’ll be in the Vegas of the Appalachians, friends – home to Dollywood, Paula Dean’s Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show, an upside down museum called Wonderworks, and enough ninja weapon stores, Putt-Putt courses and go-kart tracks to make many a manchild joyously weep. My keen observational skills are about to be unleashed in one of the prime people-watching places on the planet! In the high heat and humidity of summer in the South! During a global pandemic! Be still, my beating heart! Yes, this year has been terrible so far, but I truly believe it’s going to turn around. Stay tuned for next week’s edition. We’ll take a ride on a Smoky Mountains dance extravaganza! Peace out.

Editor, I want to let Hamilton County citizens know what the situation was like counting the mail-in ballots at the courthouse on (election day). A majority of the volunteers were older than 60. People were regularly in very close proximity in the close quarters of the council room. Democratic and Republican partners at the courthouse were only about 3 feet apart while working. Masks, gloves and sanitizer were available, but their benefit is limited if almost no one is using them. I counted only 15 of 45 people that I could see in the council room wearing masks. Sanitizer was available in only two spots for 60-plus people. There was no cleaning or sanitizing at lunch. There was no indication that the council chambers were sanitized overnight. My ballot-counting partner had COVID-19 last month! Do we know if they had tested negative? People can test positive for weeks after. Did Hamilton County staff ask anyone about symptoms or COVID-19 history? They didn’t ask any of the five of us. To put it bluntly, the experience was nerve-wracking and extremely disappointing. Accommodations must be made for the November election. Karin Maloney Anderson, Delaware 10 Democratic Precinct chair

Dentler to share her story By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Minda Dentler contracted polio as an infant living in India. Her legs were paralyzed, and EVENT she was left in an orphanage. At 3 1/2 years old, she was adopted by an American family and moved to Spokane, Wash. A series of surgeries enabled her to walk with leg braces and crutches. In 2013, she became the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.

Changes for Indiana notaries —Indiana’s largest body of public officials is undergoing several changes to longstanding regulations. Indiana Notaries Public can now discharge their duties remotely, and new rules for continuing education will soon take effect. One major change introduced this year was the debut of remote notarization, which took effect on March 31. In a remote notary situation, signers appear before the remote notary public by two-way audio/visual communication. This communication must be on a pre-approved platform, and the notarization and signatures are captured electronically. This allows Indiana notaries to perform remote notarizations at an essential time, due to social distancing protocols stemming from COVID-19. Only active notaries can become remote notaries.

NHS graduate Spurlock eager to participate in Songbook Academy By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Leah Spurlock received an email from the Songbook Academy, she called her mother. MUSIC “She dropped what she was doing and came home so I could open it with her,” Spurlock said. They shared the good news together as the 2020 Noblesville High School graduate was one of 40 students selected nationally for the Songbook Academy program, set for July 12 to 18. The intensive for young singers is typically held at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel but will be held virtually this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The weeklong music program, for high school students and 2020 graduates, includes interactive experiences of professional vocal training, performance coaching, workshops, daily social activities and educational master classes with a team of mentors led by five-time Grammy Award nominee and Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein. “I wanted to do it last year, but conflicts happened and unfortunately I ended up missing the audition deadline,” Spurlock said. “I’m glad I went after it this year and was able to get in. It was a little bit of a disappointment not to have the camaraderie with the other finalists and in-person coaching, but just the fact it can take place was such a huge relief.” Spurlock said her good friend, Sophie Miller, a Carmel High School graduate, couldn’t stop telling her positive things about the program. “I’ve never seen the finals, but I’ve been watching the performances from past Songbook Academy shows on YouTube,” Spurlock said. Spurlock said her mother, Karin Spurlock, helped convince her to audition. “I love vintage things and that era of music,” she said. Until she found out about the Songbook Academy, she didn’t know what the Great

American Songbook entailed. “When I found out about what it is, I found a lot of what I love listening to is part of it,” she said. The Songbook era includes popular music and jazz standards from the 1920s to 1950s. For the audition, Spurlock sang “If I Were A Bell” from “Guys and Dolls” and Doris Day’s version of “When I Fall in Love.” Spurlock, who will major in musical theater at Belmont University, participated in the mixed show choir and NHS Singers for three years. She was the understudy for “Mary Poppins” at Grace Community Church in 2018, and played the title role in one performance. Spurlock was cast as one of the Silly Girls in “Beauty and the Beast” in November 2019 and then was asked to be the understudy for the lead role of Belle. She performed the first show as Belle. Song Academy week will conclude July 18 with an all-day performance showcase hosted by Feinstein and streamed online for families, friends and the public. For a schedule of events, visit TheSongbook.org/ SongbookAcademyOnline.
MEET LEAH SPURLOCK Do you have other activities? “I ran track from sixth grade through sophomore year, but then did spring plays at my school. I’m an equestrian, competing as a hunter jumper. I’ve been doing that for 11 years now.” Who is you favorite Songbook performer? “Frank Sinatra. A big part of that is it was played around my house a lot at Christmastime. My dad would make a pasta dinner and play Sinatra. I do love
Ella Fitzgerald. A lot of my jazz favorite duets are Ella and Louis Armstrong. I love Doris Day’s voice, but songs Frank Sinatra would do are the ones I know the best.” What do you do to relax? “I love watching movies. Disney are big ones. (I enjoy) reading books if I have time.” What was your favorite subject? “I love writing, so English was the most consistent. I loved history a lot, too.

Drive-in concert set for Ruoff By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center is one of three sites chosen for a rare experience. For the first time, Live CONCERTS Nation will hold a U.S. drivein concert series, offering fans a live music tailgating experience July 10-12.

cheddar, habanero jack, bacon-chive cream cheese, capicola, salami, hot soppressata, marinated red onion, tomato jam and the most delicious toasted baguettes. We also sampled the Triple Dip ($10), which is goat cheese with peppadew pepper jam, edamame hummus with pine nuts, guacamole with onion straws and grilled naan bread. For my main course, I ordered the Viking Farms lamb burger because I absolutely love lamb, and it came outfitted with a cucumber sauce, feta olive relish and a traditional garden of burger toppings. Suggested pairings: Bru Burger has a large tap list, and I ordered a 3 Floyds Brewing Co. Gumballhead to go with my burger. Gumballhead is an American pale wheat ale.

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor living in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
1. A screened porch with soaring 12-foot ceilings was designed and constructed just off the living room. The wall of windows in the living room was reconfigured to include a double French door to the new porch. 2. An impressive stacked stone hearth is the focal point of the new space, complete with flat screen TV and fireplace. 3. Special features include a custom screened door to the deck and hidden storage in benches flanking the fireplace. 4. The deck was enlarged and constructed with Trex composite decking and railing for a lifetime of maintenance-free use.
THE CHALLENGE Built in 2001, this home is in the Williams Ridge neighborhood of Fishers. The existing deck was generously sized; however, the homeowners wanted to add outdoor living space that was more protected from the elements. The goal was to design an outdoor space that seamlessly blended with the existing home.
