Locals consider running, replacing State Sen. Kenley By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com After a quarter century serving in the Indiana State Senate, 72-yearelection old Noblesville Republican Luke Kenley has announced he will retire Sept. 30, leading to a caucus to replace him.
A date hasn’t been set, but several names have been floated as possible candidates to replace Kenley, including Megan Wiles, president of the Noblesville City Council; Sue Finkam, president of the Carmel City Council; and Scott Willis, a business owner and Marine who ran against Kenley in the last primary election.

SCOTT WILLIS — This Westfield resident ran against Kenley previously because he felt the General Assembly needs to change the formula for school funding, which he hopes would return Hamilton County schools to some of the top in the state for dollars funded per student. Willis, a father of three, lost in the 2016 primary to Kenley with less than 40 percent of the vote. Willis said he will make a decision soon. “I am considering it,” he told Current last week. “I have meetings scheduled over the next few days with key people in the party to explore another run.” Willis

NOBLESVILLE On Ind. 38 between Ind. 32 in Noblesville and I-69 in Pendleton, road crews are working to repave portions of the highway. A slow lane is in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday until approximately July 28. Work on the five-points roundabout at the intersections of 10th Street and Greenfield and Christian Avenue continues. As the roundabout is being constructed, an all-way stop has been put into effect, and access onto Greenfield Avenue from 10th Street has been restricted. FISHERS Hamilton County Highway Dept. will close the intersection of 136th Street and Prairie Baptist Road will be closed for approximately 60 days to allow contractors to reconstruct the intersection. Detour signs will be in place. Those with questions may call the Hamilton County Highway Dept. at 317-773-7770. The Brooks School Road bridge over I-69 is closed as Milestone Contractors rebuild the bridge deck. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to Promise Road via 126th and 136th streets. The bridge will remain closed until August. Hamilton County Highway Dept. has changed the traffic pattern for northbound Allisonville Road at 146th Street. There are now two left turn lanes and one northbound through lane. WESTFIELD East 151st Street is closed for the construction of a roundabout at Westfield Boulevard. The closure is expected to last 60 days. Motorists traveling eastbound along East 151st Street will encounter detour routing, which will bypass roundabout construction at the new intersection of East 151st Street and Westfield Boulevard between Greyhound Pass and U.S. 31. Target will only be accessible to traffic from the east, so customers approaching from the west will need to utilize the detour route. Eastbound traffic crossing U.S. 31 at 151st Street will need to utilize the detour or approach 151st Street from U.S. 31 north or south. Casey Road is closed north of Ind. 32 for approximately a half-mile for the construction of the Ditch Road extension roundabout.

Roger called Shelbourne Knee Center. At age 62 he didn’t want to hang up the soccer cleats or give up the trail runs with his dog Cowboy. And after a successful total knee replacement it looks like he won’t have to. In Roger’s words, “The biggest thing is I’m walking pain free.” And for Roger, those are pretty nice words to live by. A recent Shelbourne Knee Center study found that patients took 85% less pain medicine and had improved pain control after undergoing Shelbourne’s knee replacement process versus the with your life. In Roger’s case that means kicking soccer balls and getting back on the trail. He’s always had the heart to do it. Now he’s also got the knee.

NHS graduate creates site to encourage reading By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bradford Wolf hated to see children not reading. So during his Noblescover story ville High School Innovations class as a junior, Wolf began to develop a concept. Wolf, who graduated from NHS in 2016, launched The Storybook Factory in June. “I want to find a neat and engaging way to get kids reading again,” said Wolf, who took this past year to work on the business and plans to attend classes at IUPUI in the fall. “It really bothered me when I saw kids picking up their parents’ tablets or phones and binge-watching YouTube videos or playing Angry Birds. I wanted them to get back into reading more. That had a huge impact on me when I was a kid. I wanted to bring that back to life.” So Wolf began thinking of ways to make
children’s books more engaging for kids. “I thought, ‘Let’s meet them on the platforms they are using most,’” Wolf said. “So I started by setting up a YouTube channel, and I would read books, and we got close to 2 million views in six months. It was a huge success. That caught the idea of our first investor (Steve Robinson). He loved the idea and the vision so much that he gave us a small amount of money to get off the ground. That all took place during my senior year.” Wolf decided to create the Netflix (subscription-based service) of children’s books. “A kid will log into his own account and there will be an entire library of books we got from publishers in New York and other states, and self-published authors as well,” he said. The Storybook Factory also has made books more interactive by putting animations in them.

“We can have a pig who can hop around the screen, and the words are interactive as well,” Wolf said. “You can click a word, and you’ll get the definition and the pronunciation.” Children will be able to choose from a large digital library of books. “We’re hoping to meet them on the platform they use most,” Wolf said. Wolf said he has to flown to New York several times to show publishers their plans and how it can benefit them. With a target market of pre-kindergarten to third grade, he said he has pitched the idea to a lot of self-publishers and smaller publishing companies. “We have close to 200, and we’re hoping to get to 700 books in a couple of months,” Wolf said. “The bigger publishing companies, like Scholastic and Random House, don’t want to take a risk because they don’t need to. They make a ton of money off Dr. Seuss books and things like that.
We’re looking for smaller companies who are still trying to make a name for themselves.” Wolf brought his best friend, Hunter Stone, into the business to help. Stone, a student in the School of Informatics at Indiana University, is serving as chief operating officer. Stone said he shared Wolf’s entrepreneurial spirit. “Since we wanted to take a software-oriented approach to the company, my background in SaaS (Software as a Service) and project management helped kick us in the right direction,” he said. Stone said he believed from the start the project would come this far. “I continue to believe it will exceed everyone’s expectations,” he said. “If there’s anything I’ve learned over the last few years, it’s that you must wholeheartedly believe in and dedicate yourself to every project that you work on. If you nurture and approach your idea with care and passion, and approach them as you would the next Fortune 500 company, then that’s the only way your business will succeed. “Brad and I both work to define the highlevel goals for the company, then as COO, my primary focus is to translate these missions into daily objectives and ensure that our team is able to hit them,” Stone added. “Brad, in turn, works on pursuing partnerships, creating more opportunities for the organization and pushing our overall mission.” Wolf also found two web developers, Nick Wanninger and Saul Garza, and two graphic designers, Kathryn Lynch and Alex Latham, all 2017 graduates, from his high school innovations class.

o b s e r v a tion Kindle by its cover
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker We might know spine. Certainly, we’ve learned the definition of cover. But what is the fore edge, hinge and free endpaper? Our lexicon must include hand-stitched, end-stained and hardbound. Although one would be hard-pressed to find someone who has never held a book, few of us show more than a limited command of the vocabulary required to describe its many components. Most focus on the ink at its most fundamental, the ideas. The means of conveyance, well, means very little. For generations, we humans have scribbled our hopes, aspirations and accumulated knowledge into the most permanent and accessible forms our technology would allow. From stone tablets to books took centuries; yet, the conversion to the digital may be done in a single lifetime (or less). The great mass of collected human knowledge has largely been made electronic. Convenience, low-cost and adjustable font size has driven us to rethink the way we approach how we absorb information. And so what? Bits and bytes are increasingly controlling the way we live. Currency, communication, and, now, data all move without any of the pesky need for an actual physical specie. Still, is it wise to judge a Kindle by its cover? If a book is edited not with a pen but with a keyboard, can we show its evolution, or devolution, from one iteration to the next? Someone recently reminded that books, by their very nature, are romantic and mysterious objects. At sight, we don’t know what they will bring us. Will our smartphone come to embody the same promise?

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Understanding our president Editor, Our president, Donald Trump, reminds me of the men of the 1950s. These men, who just returned from World War II, were tough, not afraid of hard work and commanded respect, discipline and no nonsense. They were not afraid to speak their minds, the opposite of being politically correct. These men became fathers and raised functional families. They moved back into the communities and became the future principals, teachers, public servants, doctors, construction workers, farmers, community leaders and more. They were everywhere in the lives of children who looked up to them for discipline and leadership. Our president is tall and has broad shoulders, shoulders that are carrying a very heavy load of trying to sew back our divided country, set the record straight to other countries that we won’t take any nonsense from them and the load of
bringing back the middle class, which is the pillar class holding up our nation. During the 2016 presidential campaign, from the primaries to the final two contenders, President Trump shared information that was not commonly known to the average American, such as other countries not paying their fair share of promised debts and the recent Paris Climate Change Agreement. Just these two examples show billions of dollars being sucked away from our middle class. Even though our president is a billionaire, he does understand the needs of hardworking Americans and their families. He is trying to bring back our country to what it was during the 1950s, when our nation hummed with jobs and growing families. The United States was respected world-wide at that time, and we need to get back there again. Mari Briggs, Sheridan
I pretty much live at Meijer. Six to seven gallons of milk a week, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas ... humor you get the picture. The point is, I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. Many of you, however, do not. So here ya go. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. A list won’t prevent you from buying things not on the list but will ensure you get everything that your family deemed important enough to actually write on the list. Doo’s deodorant, Maddie’s pencil sharpener, cat food, etc., — essentials that you will definitely hear about if forgotten. Just do it! I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with amateurs: Always park as close to a cart corral as possible. Only use the self-check line if 75 percent of your items are pre-packaged. You are not a professional cashier! You have not memorized the scan code for radicchio! Never get in the check-out line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). Rather, shoot for male patrons. They purchase less, never use coupons and usually pay with cash. Men don’t want to be there, so they’re focused on a quick exit. Organize your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold/frozen products, boxed goods, cans/jars, produce and smooshables. This allows for an efficient bagging process and ensures that dairy and meat stay colder (Doo always teases me about this whenever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me for my anal retentive organization and confirm that this technique does in fact speed up check-out. Take that, Doo!). Make me proud! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Stem cells repair tissue around them, donating mitochondria and other vital parts to diseased cells. If science repair is impossible, they turn themselves into new and healthy young tissue. This allows for the healing of virtually any organ. When infused intravenously, stem cells initially concentrate in the lungs and multiply there. This is why they are so useful in treating COPD, cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions. As the stem cells continuously multiply, their function is long-lived. In addition to being therapeutic on their own, they also promote your body’s own stem cells to become more vital and active. This aids in healing, but more importantly, is the basis for rejuvenation. Umbilical cord stem cells come from the donated cord blood of healthy newborns and, because of that, they do not present ethical concerns. Umbilical cord stem cells are not known to cause immune rejection or transmit genetic diseases. Stem cells are widely used to

treat conditions in orthopedic and sports medicine, immune diseases and a whole host of other diseases and conditions. Stem cells also possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, so they suppress infections and help antibiotics be more effective. Each umbilical cord stem cell infusion prolongs life and prevents diseases. This is why they may be used prophylactically, allowing healthy people to stay healthy. By regulating the immune system, umbilical cord stem cells prevent cancer, slow down aging and improve well-being. With regular use of umbilical cord stem cells, humanity will change. We will live longer and be healthier. It is estimated that living to age 160 and older will be common. It is hard to fathom the true scope of benefits that stem cells can provide. The future is today. Please check StemCellsIndy.com for more information. Dmitry M. Arbuck, MD, is President and Medical Director, Indiana Polyclinic. For more visit, StemCellsIndy. com.

IU Health expands urgent care news@currentinwestfield.com Residents of the northside will gain new options for highly skilled immediate care as Indiana University healthcare Health opens two new urgent care centers this summer. The first, in Broad Ripple, opened July 11. The second, on the border of Noblesville/Carmel, will open in mid-August. Both sites are firsts for IU Health. The urgent care center at 1036 Broad Ripple Ave. is the first for IU Health inside the I-465 loop. The Hamilton County site, along the border of Noblesville and Carmel at Hazel Dell Parkway and 146th Street, is the first urgent care center for IU Health in Hamilton County. The Broad Ripple location is a fully remodeled former bank branch while the Hamilton County center will co-occupy a new, stand-alone building with an IU Health primary care clinic and rehabilitation and physical therapy offices. Providers focus on treating a range of less-acute ailments, including sprains and strains, cuts needing stitches, infections and allergic reactions, and broken bones using on-site X-ray machines.

cruises are a real last-minute summer travel deal. Cruise lines significantly cut fares about a month before departure if beds are still empty. How low do prices go? It’s not uncommon for nightly rates to plunge by up to 80 percent, though half off is more common. Scout for bargains at Cruise Direct, JetBlue Cruises, and Cruise Critic.

For example, if the amount of an auto repair is just slightly over the deductible, you might be better off to pay the extra out-ofpocket expense yourself. Filing a claim can cause your rates to increase by more than the amount you ended up paying. Source: WiseBread.com

Whether you’re taking the family, looking for a spot to watch the big game or just unwinding after work, Aspen Creek will work for you. Comfortable seating and a full bar also are on deck for a great dining experience. What to get: Did I really just see “shrimp & grits” on this menu? That’s right! A southern favorite, this dish may not be everyone, but if you’ve got a taste for adventure, you must try it. Here’s what’s in it: green chili cheese grits with grilled shrimp, bacon, mushrooms and green onions tossed in a lobster cream sauce.

Shakespeare celebrates 25 years By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com David Heighway has a long history with Noblesville’s Shakespeare in the Park productions. “I rememtheater ber sitting in the first meeting in March 1993 when the late Jane Campbell (Noblesville cultural leader) said we were going to have ShakeHeighway speare in the Park, and I was skeptical,” Heighway said. “I was like, ‘Come on, this is an epic thing. We’re not going to able to do that.’ Twenty-five years later, here you go.” Like it did in 1993, the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission will present “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” July 27 through 29 and Aug. 3 through 5. Admission is free for the 8:30 p.m. performances at Federal Hill Commons, 175 Logan St., Noblesville. Heighway, a Noblesville resident and Hamilton County historian, was on the NCAC board in 1993. He didn’t perform in the Shakespeare production until the following year. This year, he will serve as stage
manager. “Last year, I was the director,” said Heighway, who works for Hamilton County East Public Library. “I’ve played leads, but that was a decade ago. My memory is not what it used to be. I’ve played some minor characters. I do a lot of prop work.” Mark Tumey, a Noblesville resident, is involved with Shakespeare in the Tumey Park for the fourth time. This will be his debut as a director. “I’ve acted in 40-some productions here in central Indiana and some in Arizona,” Tumey said. “There are 21 people in the cast, including four 9-year-old ballerina fairies. We’re starting off the show with a fight scene. We’re excited to be doing it at the brand new Federal Hills Commons. I’m only using a third of the total stage. It’s a huge stage.” Tumey was a soccer referee for much of his adult life. “A friend of mine convinced me to audition at a production at the Belfry Theatre 11 years ago,” Tumey said. “I got the theater bug.’

Blueprint for Improvement: Outdoor retreat for the family Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions: The goal was to design a multi-functional outdoor space the family could enjoy for many years to come! 1. The original wood deck was replaced with an expanded stamped concrete patio at ground level for a trip-free transition from the grass. The stamped concrete steps have embedded lights for safety. 2. A large portion of this new patio is under a vaulted, covered structure to provide shelter in precipitation. The painted structure matches the home’s existing trim color, and the column bases are clad with a stone to coordinate with the existing brick. The new accent lighting allows the space to be enjoyed in the evening. 3. A new wood-burning fireplace was clad with the stone used for the column bases. The new grill island was clad with brick to match the base on the home — a seamless look with the home’s intended style!
Before Background Info: This home in Carmel’s Longridge Estates neighborhood is only 5 years old, but the original base level deck that was tacked onto the home was not sufficient for this growing family’s needs.
After
Before problems: With their love of the outdoors and the stressful demands of their careers, the family desired a combined outdoor retreat and entertaining space to enjoy in multiple seasons, with direct visibility to the kids and dog playing in the backyard.

Towering achievement: Taipei 101 Commentary by Don Knebel Taipei 101, located in Taipei’s vibrant financial district, was the world’s tallest building for five years. travel It remains famous for its innovations and extensive symbolism. Named for its 101 stories, Taipei 101 was completed in 2004 at a cost of almost 2 billion U.S. dollars. At 1,671 feet (509 meters) high, it was the first inhabited building more than half-a-kilometer high and was 188 feet taller than the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, then the world’s tallest building. Taipei 101 lost its title in 2009 to Dubai’s 2,722-foot Burj Khalif, the first building more than a half-mile tall. It retains its title as the world’s tallest green building, based on a LEED certification in 2011. Taipei 101 is approximately 660 feet from a major fault line. To withstand both a 2,500-year earthquake and the typhoons common to Taiwan, the building includes a novel mechanism allowing the building to flex while resisting excessive swaying. A 728-ton spherical steel pendulum, 18 feet in diameter, is suspended between the 92nd and 87th floors and acts as a tuned mass damper, making the building stable even in 130 mph winds. The design of Taipei 101 symbolically celebrates Taiwan’s economic and technological progress. The number of floors – 101 – connotes both the new beginnings of each Jan. 1 and binary code. The exterior of the building, covered in green glass, suggests a giant bamboo stalk, an ancient icon of learning and abundance. Eight sections above the base each include eight floors, reflecting the No. 8 as a symbol of prosperity. Each section resembles an antique Chinese moneybox, a connection made explicit by circular projections on each side based
