Aide pleads guilty to misdemeanor By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A 78-year-old Noblesville woman pleaded guilty Oct. 14 to a misdemeanor battery count after slapping a child SENTENCING with special needs on a Noblesville Schools bus. The incident occurred this past spring. The woman, Francella Van Fossen, was a school bus aide. According to video surveillance from the bus, it appears the child, 10-year-old Riley Hartman, is kicking her feet when there’s a pause, and Van Fossen then slaps her. Catherine Michael, the attorney representing the Hartman family, said it’s possible Hartman also could have bitten Van Fossen. “You can tell (Riley) is uncomfortable (in the video),” said Michael, who is a partner in the Carmel-based law firm Connell Michael Kerr. “It looks like Riley may have bit. There’s a delay between that and the aide slapping her. It’s a hard slap.” Five years ago, Hartman sustained the traumatic brain injury in a car accident that also killed her father. Michael said Van Fossen was sentenced to 180 days in jail, with 170 days of that sentence suspended. Ten days will be served. The sentencing also included 20 community service hours and a $180 fine . “This was a 78-year-old woman without a lot of training in how to work with a child in special needs,” Michael said. “I think we see a lot of people lose their tempers because they don’t know (how to work with children with disabilities).” Noblesville Schools issued the following statement: “Student safety is our top priority, and we have zero tolerance for behavior that puts our students at risk in any way. We immediately addressed this issue in collaboration with Noblesville Police upon learning of this situation back in May, and the bus aide in question is no longer employed with Noblesville Schools. We have approximately 150 bus drivers and bus aides that safely transport students over a million miles a year. The behavior by this former aide is certainly not reflective of the care and concern our staff members demonstrate with students every day.”

Council approves parking pilot program, 9-0 By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved an ordinance amending the parking procedures for downtown Noblesville at its Oct. 15 meeting. DOWNTOWN The new pilot program NOBLESVILLE shrinks the current two consecutive hours of free parking to a “hashtag shape” around the downtown square and extending one block in each direction. The remaining parking spots will be split between always-free parking and paid parking. The current parking ordinance has been in effect since 1989, when the city’s population was one-third of its size today and there was no Hamilton County Judicial Center downtown. Preceding the vote, Noblesville Police Dept. Chief Kevin Jowitt gave a brief presentation. “Four weeks ago, I introduced the proposed parking ordinance pilot project to get through next year until the Levinson project comes online,” Jowitt said. “I think this is going to be the best opportunity we have ever had (for parking).” One benefit to the new program is the ability of the enforcement system to collect plenty of data. “It’s going to reveal a whole lot of things about the parking situation in Noblesville,” Jowitt said. Jowitt said after looking through public documents, he found discussion about Noblesville’s downtown parking situation dates back to 1926. The city also is creating new 20-minute spaces on Logan, Conner and Ninth streets and Maple Avenue. Dr. Brad Dahlager of Noblesville Family Chi-

ropractic, 953 Maple Ave., requested the parking on Maple Avenue between Ninth and 10th streets remain the two-hour parking it currently is instead of becoming always-free parking. “I’m here tonight to advocate for my patients, to defend their access to healthcare at my clinic and to ask you to protect their ability to continue to park on Maple between Ninth and 10th streets,” Dahlager said. “The current proposal will turn Maple into a longterm parking lot. It will do to Maple what unrestricted free parking has done to Cherry. This will kill turnover in that segment of downtown. Without turnover, there will be insufficient parking for patients incapable of walking more than a short distance, and, as a result, patients won’t receive the treatment they need.”
To our readers: Effective with the Oct. 29 editions of Current you will notice a change. To better serve you and our advertisers, we are relocating our printing operations to a different plant. As you will come see, the press setup there will provide you, our advertisers and us improved color reproduction, ink density and color registration. In addition, the canvas of our papers will shrink somewhat. Feedback
Dahlager said he believed the proposal suffered from tunnel vision in which city leaders only focused on accomplishing the “hashtag shape” for parking. Councilor Rick Taylor acknowledged that Noblesville Family Chiropractic has three designated parking spots. Councilor Chris Jensen sympathized with Dahlager but remained steadfast on his support for the pilot program as is. Jensen said he even drove by Dahlager’s office during multiple times of the day and found open parking spots periodically. Other parking changes include the Noblesville City Hall lot becoming free, unrestricted parking. There also will be certain permit-only lots. The pilot program will go into effect Jan. 1.
we received after a press test was incredibly positive, and so the decision to change was made. We hope you’ll find the improved print version to be easier to read and, perhaps, a bit more portable. Let us know your thoughts at info@youarecurrent.com, and, as always, thank you for reading Current. Sincerely, Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg, co-founders and owners

Noblesville Common Council hears $80.7M budget introduction By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council heard the 2020 budget introduction at its Oct. 15 meeting. Since it was GOVERNMENT only an introduction, no vote was taken. City Controller Jeffrey Spalding gave a brief overview of the $80.7 million budget, $71 million of which was operating funds. “The overarching themes for the budget process for the last couple budgets is ‘right size and realign’ – trying to get the budget shaped up to where we Spalding need to be to start moving into the era of cost efficiency and performance metrics,” Spalding said. Spalding also spoke on the importance of establishing a base budget. “If you have a good base budget, you can use that to highlight where things are changing, where new ideas and new initiatives are being requested,” he said. A main topic of conversation was that the city’s certified net assessed value has grown 42 percent since 2015, and its local income tax revenue has grown 43.3 percent. The 2020 proposed budget is an approximate 3 to 4 percent increase over the 2019 budget, which Spalding said was a reasonable level of growth and expense. If approved, Spalding estimated the

2020 budget to increase the general fund by approximately $1 million and increase the rainy-day fund by approximately $1.28 million. The general operating fund makes up approximately 62 percent of the overall $80.7 million budget. Within the general operating fund, fire and police account for a combined 64.6 percent of the cost. The 2020 proposed budget accounts for several new position requests, including four employees for the fire department, which is in the third year of a three-year phase in to staff an additional ambulance at Station 76. Other new position reCooke quests include three staff for the engineering department, two for the police department consisting of one sworn officer and one civilian, a communications director for the mayor, one custodian for maintenance and one part-time secretary for the streets department. A public hearing was held, and nobody spoke. The council will vote on the proposed budget at its Oct. 29 meeting. “We look forward to continue working through this process with members of our Common Council, and we’ll come back on Oct. 29 to ensure the budget for 2020 remains fiscally responsible while supporting our growing community,” Deputy Steve Cooke stated after the meeting.

Quakenbush attends national law enforcement event By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush’s top priority is keeping county residents safe. That means stopping the flow of drugs. “With the recent PUBLIC SAFETY epidemic with heroin and fentanyl and crime and death that we see in our community, it’s something I see for us to continue to address at every front,” Quakebush said. “If we’ve got a significant supply coming into our community, we want to address it as best we can. They are mixing the fentanyl with the heroin to get a better high and it can cause cardiac arrest and death. The majority of drugs that come into Hamilton County are coming across the Mexican border. We estimate 80 percent of it is. “Our drug task force, for instance, when they are working cases, they are working directly with border patrol. We are arresting people from the cartels in Indianapolis and they are sending new people back to replace them almost immediately.” Quakenbush recently joined five other Indiana sheriffs and nearly 200 sheriffs from across the nation in Washington, D.C., to support secure borders and safe communities. During the Sept. 25-26 event, Quakenbush met with many state and federal legislators and federal law enforcement agencies, attended an administrative briefing and panel discussions with the Dept. of Justice and the Dept. of Homeland security and attended a White House briefing followed by a meeting with President Donald Trump. “I’m encouraged by the federal law enforcement agencies and their willingness to

work with us on any investigations or help us with any of our needs,” Quakenbush said. The Indiana contingent met with Indiana Sens. Todd Young and Mike Braun. Quakenbush said the group also met with legislators to discuss the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to states and localities for costs incurred for incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens. Quakenbush said the problem of human trafficking was another main topic. “Some of the statistics they provided in the briefing were just incredible, something like at least 30 percent of girls are raped traveling to the United States,” he said. “The border patrol agents and even some making traffic stops in Oklahoma are making stops where cartels are driving across the border where no one in the car knows anyone else. You have young men or women in the vehicles (and they) have no idea who they are with and where they are going. Their families had just sent them across. It’s a huge concern.”

Inaugural festival to fundraise for kids’ summer camps By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com
Circle of Hope Wesleyan Church, 396 S. Park St., has created a fall festival called Harvest of Hope to raise FALL EVENTS funds for its children’s camps during the summer months. Event director Clara Furst said the event is geared toward all families in the community. The festival is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 26 at the church. “We have upwards of 50 vendors coming which include arts and crafts, artisans, boutiques, dress sales and then just some odds and ends like welding and woodworking, things like that,” Furst said. A free kids’ zone will be available with bounce houses, and a barrel train will offer rides for $1. Food trucks will arrive at 11 a.m. There will
be live entertainment from 6 to 10 p.m. after the festival, with the food trucks and some vendors staying late as well. Free tractor rides will transport people to and from the parking area. The event is free, but there are certain aspects which cost money. Proceeds benefit Circle of Hope’s youth ministry. “We have an awesome youth and children’s ministry. We are a small church, and in recent years we have gained more children,” Furst said. “Every summer, they like to go to children camps, and in recent years the price of the camp has gone up significantly. We did not want to limit who got to go, so we had to find a way to fund any child who would like to go to camp.” A silent auction will be ongoing throughout the event and there will be other opportunities to donate as well. For more, visit the Harvest of Hope Facebook event page.

Carr is firefighter of the year By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A Noblesville firefighter recently was named as the 2019 Indiana Firefighter of the Year. AWARD Mike Carr, who serves as a firefighter for the Noblesville Fire Dept. and tactical medic for the Noblesville Police Dept., was honored last month during a private ceremony with members of the Noblesville Fire Dept. and Mayor John Ditslear. Carr was voted by his peers in the fire prevention community for the award but was unable to attend the annual Indiana Emergency Response Conference in Indianapolis when the award was announced. “Mike Carr has been a tenacious advocate of our active shooter program since he started building it over five years ago,” Noblesville Fire Chief Greg Wyant said. Carr was nominated primarily because of his work in assessing a need for an activeassailant response plan and working to develop, implement and train members on the plan. This work was utilized when NFD was called to Noblesville West Middle School on May 25, 2018, in response to an active shooter.

Today, NFD continues to revise and improve its plan, training members on new EMS skills and coordinating joint trainings with the police department. “I would like to thank Division Chief John O’Neal for the letter of recommendation and the rest of the fire administration and Mayor John Ditslear for allowing and encouraging the development of the active assailant program,” Carr said. “I also want to thank firefighter Todd Watson, whose input and teaching skills have been a huge asset to this program and to the fire department.”

Track to trail
Approximately a quarter-mile of railroad tracks through downtown Noblesville from just south of Conner Street to Division Street are in the process of being removed. Last week, crews started work on the south COVER STORY end and will work their way north. The work follows the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority’s removal of the Nickel Plate Rail tracks from Division Street south through Fishers to the end of the former line in Indianapolis. The railroad tracks currently being removed are set in the road, whereas the tracks south of Division Street ran adjacent to the road. The tracks from just before Logan Street in front of the Hamilton County Courthouse, which travel around Forest Park and all the way up to Tipton, will remain. The northern portion of the railroad is being preserved and is currently used by the Nickel Plate Express for tourist excursions beginning in Atlanta. After the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority, comprised of Hamilton County, Fishers and Noblesville, announced its plans to railbank the tracks and turn it into the Nickel Plate Trail in 2017, Fishers moved ahead quickly, and a groundbreaking for the trail is scheduled for this fall. Fishers’ portion of the trail will run from 96th Street to 146th Street. Fishers plans to make the trail into a “linear park,” with amenities like a viewing deck, innovation coves and more. “Our goal is not only to create a unique pedestrian experience for residents in Fishers, but we want to create an experience unlike anything in the Midwest or the world, for that matter,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said in a video about Fishers’ portion of the trail. Noblesville’s portion of the trail will pick up at 146th Street and run 2.7 miles to Pleasant Street. Eventually, the trail would connect to a future phase of the Midland Trail, which will connect to the Riverwalk Trail and take trail users into downtown Noblesville. “Fishers is moving forward on their trail, and we are not to that same point that they are, but we had done a (request for projects) and put out to bid for someone to remove the tracks and then the wooden ties beneath them,”

said Robert Herrington, communications manager for the City of Noblesville. “So, that’s the work that has been done from Division Street in Noblesville south to Indianapolis.” Noblesville applied for a matching grant to construct the trail and didn’t receive funds with its first application. It currently is submitting a DNR Next Level Trail Grant to help cover the cost of the project. Herrington explained the grant would nearly cover the project cost, although it’s a matching grant. Since the city’s match for the grant would be the already-prepared land, the cost to the city would be minimal. “Essentially, we are ready to move forward with all that land that’s prepped. With the railbed, the stone, there is
a good base,” Herrington said. “So, it’s just putting more stone in and asphalting it to make it the trail.” If Noblesville receives the grant it is seeking, Herrington said he expects the city’s portion of the Nickel Plate Trail to move forward within the next year or two. However, if the grant money is denied, moving forward with the trail will depend on Chris Jensen’s plans. Jensen, who won the May Republican mayoral primary, is running unopposed in the Nov. 5 election and is set to become the city’s next mayor. Currently, the city already has several trail projects in the works, including Phase 3 of the Midland Trail, the Levee Trail and the Riverwalk. However, city officials say pulling the tracks out of Eighth Street is more a safety issue than anything else. “The problem with that is when we have plows, when ice and snow get in (the concrete bases), there’s an issue with plowing and also for motorcycles,” Herrington said, adding that drivers experience trouble as well. When the rail is removed, the concrete bases will be removed and a new strip of asphalt will replace the tracks.
POTENTIONAL TRAFFIC CONGESTION Construction to remove the trails was expected to last only 10 days and coincided with Noblesville Schools’ fall break. One lane of Eighth Street will remain open to traffic during construction hours, but will be under flagger control. Drivers should expect traffic delays to Eighth Street until work is completed. Cross streets will be closed as work progresses from south to north. All lanes will be reopened when work is completed each day. The Eighth Street roadwork is approximately $200,000 and is part of the city’s annual street rehabilitation projects. It was not a new cost, as it was included when the street contract was created last spring.

ESSAY
LETTER
A skill mastered
Hold everyone accountable
Commentary by Terry Anker
Editor, Wendy Wheeler’s letter to the editor “Hold Trump Accountable” is nothing more than a rant about a president she loathes, completely devoid of facts and completely lacking the respect of individual rights. The United States Constitution defines the individual rights of due process, of presumption of innocence and of privacy. The outrage that she and every American should have is the denial of constitutional rights to any American, regardless of their position, status or political leanings. President Trump is indeed not above the law, and nor is he beneath it; he is entitled to those rights as well. Mueller’s investigation, of which was undeniably a “witch hunt,” was not to convict or to exonerate; that determination is done by the Dept. of Justice. Mueller and his politically motivated staff did indeed do a job, which morphed into a two-year carpetbombing mission, and which failed to force charges against the president. Hold everyone accountable, not just those one despises. Doing nothing will ensure that this abuse will repeat. That is not the America you want, but is what America will fast become if this caution is unheeded. Vince Catanese, Westfield
Everything old is new again. As life moves ever too rapidly from one moment to the next, icons appear and then fade into our shared experience. One minute, we are all enjoying “Scooby Doo,” the next is “Hill Street Blues,” then “Friends,” then, in an instant, “The Big Bang Theory.” Our favorite actors and tag lines give way to new ones. The coffee mugs and T-shirts reminding us “let’s be careful out there” are traded for ones bearing images of Ron Swanson.” Our deep, emotional investment in whether Tony Soprano would ultimately get whacked turns out to be no more important to the subsequent generations than who shot JR. It is all quite disheartening. Did we waste those years spent waiting to see if Coyote would finally get the Road Runner for dinner? But surely, our perfecting the ideal way to separate Oreos or rapidly remove the orange from Cheetos will have use as we accelerate even further into adulthood, but it doesn’t seem to come up in the corporate cafeteria as it did in the elementary school lunchroom. Still for many of us, a skill mastered only requires an opportunity to reemerge. Let each generation decide the content. But shouldn’t our grandkids know how to drain the crème filling out of a Twinkie? Don’t our children deserve to know the sublime joy of Igor’s hump in “Young Frankenstein?” And, aren’t we the ones to tell them? Even more, it seems that Flamin’ Hot Cheetos pair beautifully with an aged barrel-strength bourbon. We can still learn! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Grab a rabbit’s foot Commentary by Danielle Wilson Are you superstitious? I am. I truly believe the only way the University of Louisville can win a game is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans HUMOR and avoid caffeine and pickles for the entire day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt or black cats, for obvious reasons. Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister. Although, it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil” and therefore had “the sight.” And my mom is extremely intuitive; she always knew when I was “with child,” even before
Rod Stewart or I knew. So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. (Case in point: My favorite show, “This is Us,” had a whole storyline devoted to the Vietnam War; I was then awarded a teaching grant to Vietnam. Coincidence? I think not.) Anyway, I bring this topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us. Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So, grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

Primeval Brewing opening slated for November By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A brewery reminiscent of a European beer hall soon will open in downtown Noblesville. Brewery co-owner Nathan NEW BIZ Compton of Castleton said the plans are for Primeval Brewing to open its doors in November. The brewery is the first brick-and-mortar location for Compton and fellow co-owner and Fishers resident Tim Palmer, but the pair is not new to brewing beer. Between the two of them, they have 20 years of brewing experience and have earned more than 170 awards. When deciding where to open the brewery, they said downtown Noblesville had a certain appeal. “We wanted to create a place that feels like an old-world European beer hall, and so downtown Noblesville was one of the areas we targeted when looking because of the historic nature,” Compton said. “We loved the eclectic mom-and-pop shops down here. We found this location (960 Logan St.), and it’s a building built in 1909.” Previously, the building was the home of Platinum Living Fine Art Gallery, and

Compton said it’s been a “huge project” to transform the interior to befit a brewery. Compton and Palmer signed the lease for the building in February 2018 and have been renovating the building since. Upon opening, Primeval Brewing will have 12 taps and plans to offer a core line-up of a German, helles-style lager, “Welcome to Helles;” a Hefeweizen, “Edelweiss;” an English porter, “Sacred Seduction;” a hybrid, German IPA , “Maxwell” and a Rauchbier, or a smoked German lager, “Rauch My World.”
Three to four of the remaining taps will be guest taps, and three to four taps will be rotating taps by Primeval Brewing. “We love traditional styles, and we are a little bit against the grain in terms of what an American craft brewery is intended to be,” Compton said. “We take more of a traditional route. We focus on German, British and Belgian styles of beer.” When determining the beer names, Compton said “Maxwell” has a story behind it. “When we started demoing out the art gallery, we wanted to go back to the old brick walls,” Compton said. “We uncovered a wall and found a faded sign that said ‘Maxwell.’ After doing some research, (we learned) in 1914 this was a showroom for Maxwell Motor (Company), a long-since defunct automobile company. It was based in Indiana back at the time. The Maxwell beer was named after that.” The logo will remain on the wall when the brewery opens. In addition to beer, Primeval Brewing also will have wine and a cocktail menu featuring liquors from craft distilleries in Indiana. It also will have a small food menu with appetizers, sandwiches, soup and a kids’ menu.

Noblesville-based Harbour Properties has purchased the 20,000-square-foot building at 110 N. Ninth St., DEVELOPMENT which previously held KeyBank. KeyBank moved out of the building in June. Harbour Properties President Darren Ratcliffe said the company plans to turn the building into office suites. He said the location and the building façade inspired Harbour Properties to purchase the building. “It’s a gorgeous building on the outside with the limestone. Inside, we are modernizing it,” said Ratcliffe, a Noblesville resident. “Obviously, the location is a huge factor. It’s a good-sized building in a great location.” Ratcliffe said the company wasn’t targeting certain tenants, and he expects there to be a variety. “A lot of (the building) is divided into offices, and there are a lot of open areas that could be subdivided into offices or cubicles,” Ratcliffe said. “We may lease it to one large tenant, or it could be subdivided into three or four tenants.”
Harbour Properties closed on the building at 110 N. Ninth St. last month. (Submitted photo)
Ratcliffe said it’s possible the building could hold 25 to 30 individual tenants, but he doubts that’ll happen. “My guess is it’ll have some attorneys and insurance people and consulting people,” he said. Harbour Properties owns several other buildings in downtown Noblesville, including buildings at 50 N. Ninth St., 54 N. Ninth St., 920 Logan St., 940 Logan St. and 957 Logan St, which is the Logan Village Mall. The company also owns a half block of parking on the north side of the KeyBank building. Ratcliffe expects the building won’t be ready for tenants until next spring.

Librarian’s obituary sparks playwright to create ‘Alabama Story’; ATI to present By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The concept for “Alabama Story” came to Kenneth Jones while reading The New York Times’ obituary of Emily Reed in PLAY 2000. Reed, who was born in North Carolina in 1910, moved to Indiana as a baby. She grew up in Culver, where her father was a doctor and earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University. She eventually became the director of the Alabama Public Library Service Division. “In 1959, she was persecuted by politicians because she defend a children’s book about a white rabbit that marries a black rabbit,” Jones said. “In Montgomery, Alabama, and other places, the mix of races was not embraced. I was fascinated by it. I thought she was a big American character with big ideas and big drive to protect her world.” Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Indiana premiere of “Alabama Story” Oct. 25 through Nov. 17 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. Jones will be there for the opening weekend. Cynthia Collins plays Reed, who defended keeping Garth Williams’ book “The Rabbits’ Wedding,” in the library. A southern state senator named Edward Oswell Eddins tries to ban the book in 1959, accusing it of promoting integration and interracial marriage. “These people went to the extreme to stop integration,” Collins said. Collins said ATI co-founder Don Farrell brought the play as one of his choices to the table for the new season. “He said, ‘Cindy you could be the librarian, and I can be the senator. These roles are really good for us,’” Collins said. Collins said she had to read it twice to really sink into it and decided it was a great part. “She’s kind of an unsung hero, very understated,” she said. “She did win the Freedom to Read medal right before she died. She knew it, but she died before it

could be presented to her.” Farrell, 50, plays the character based on E.O. Eddins, who is named Sen. E.W. Higgins. “He was a big segregationist in the lines of (former Alabama Gov. George) Wallace,” said Farrell, who was born in North Carolina and eventually moved to Chattanooga to an Atlanta suburb. Farrell said it is difficult to repeat some of the racist lines, like “we stick with our own kind.” “For some reason, it wouldn’t get in my head,” he said. “But growing up, I knew a lot of people that held these beliefs. I don’t think it’s indicative of just the South. “There are still lessons where we came from and how far we have to go.” Maeghan Looney, based in Chicago, plays Lily Whitfield. “Lily is a born and bred daughter of Alabama. Her father is the head of cotton company,” Looney said. “She also grew up in a sheltered bubble.” Jones created fictional character, Whitfield, and a black man named Joshua Moore, played by Cameron Bass, to illustrate the social environment of the time. Looney said her character and Moore were childhood friends. “But they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years,” said Looney, a Huntington North
High School and Ball State graduate. “It’s about coming to grips with what happened in the past. They see it differently because of their place in this era. It’s about how to move forward from there.” Jane Unger, from Oregon, is serving as director. Unger was contacted just a few weeks before rehearsals began because the original director had to withdraw for family reasons. “I love the play, and it’s good fit for me,” she said.
SPECIAL SESSIONS There will be a talkback session with playwright Kenneth Jones, ATI co-founder Don Farrell and faith leaders, including Carmel Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Jerry Zehr, following the 2 p.m. show Oct. 27. On Nov. 2, Culver Academies alumni will receive $5 off the ticket price in addition to a meet-and-greet with Jones.

Blueprint for Improvement: More room for family on Sweetwater Commentary by Larry Greene
Before
THE SOLUTION
After
1. The small windows in the second-floor living area were replaced with a wide, four-panel sliding glass door, which offers unobstructed views of the water. 2. By adjusting the roofline on the second floor, the sloped ceiling in the living area was removed, providing an openness that the space was initially lacking. 3. Luxury vinyl flooring was chosen for the living area, thanks to its durability and water-resistant properties. 4. The second-floor deck was added and extends past the screened porch to provide ample room for relaxing with friends and family. 5. Tongue-and-groove carsiding was used on the second-floor deck ceiling. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com, or stop by one of our three locations.
Background: Built in 1974, this waterfront home in Ninevah, Ind., is a welcome weekend getaway destination for a busy Fishers family.
THE CHALLENGE The 1,700-square-foot, two-story home didn’t offer the homeowners and their grown children a lot of livable space, indoors or out. Odd-sloped ceilings in the living and dining area cut into valuable floor space. The previous addition to the second floor wasn’t taking full advantage of the lake views.

Don’t say the same thing twice Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Luna Park in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Sydney’s Luna Park face welcomes guests Commentary by Don Knebel Luna Park in Sydney, Australia, is among the world’s most iconic amusement parks. It also is among the world’s most TRAVEL haunted. In 1903, Luna Park, a spectacular new amusement park, opened on New York’s Coney Island. The concept soon spread to Australia, with Luna Park Melbourne opening in 1912. In 1935, another Luna Park opened on Milsons Point along the north shore of Sydney Harbour. Luna Park Milsons Point was an immediate success, with people standing in long lines to ride the Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster. Visitors entered through a huge face, which became the symbol of the park. Luna Park was particularly popular with American sailors on shore leave during World War II, leading to a temporary reputation for prostitution and brawling. In 1972, at the height of its popularity, Luna Park began staying open year-round, eliminating the winter downtime previously employed to maintain the rides. The decision proved disastrous. In April 1979, 13 people were
injured when one Big Dipper car smashed into another stalled by a malfunction. In June 1979, the park closed after a fire on the Ghost Train killed six children and one adult. The park closed again in 1988 when inspectors found that several of the rides were unsafe. In 1994, noise complaints from nearby residents led to another closure. When Luna Park reopened in 1995 with greatly restricted hours, financial difficulties soon led to yet another closure. The park reopened in 2004, owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, a government agency. With newer and safer rides, Luna Park is again among Sydney’s most popular destinations. The 30-foot-wide smiling face at the entrance is the park’s eighth. Constructed in 1994 from polyurethane and modeled on an image of Old King Cole, it is registered as a heritage site by the government of New South Wales. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.
DISPATCH A quick history of trick-or-treating — Trick-or-treating for candy is synonymous with Halloween, but the tradition had to go through a centuries-long evolution to arrive at the place it is today. Historians agree that a Celtic autumn festival called Samhain was the precursor to modern Halloween. Samhain was a time to celebrate the last harvest of the year and the approach of the winter season. It also was a festival for honoring the dead. One way Celtics may have appeased the spirits they believed still walked the Earth was by leaving treats on their doorsteps. In America, the first Halloween celebrations were a way to mark the end-of-year harvest season, and the food that was served mainly consisted of homemade seasonal treats like caramel apples and mixed nuts. It wasn’t until the 1950s that trick-ortreating for homemade treats gained popularity in the U.S. That changed when the candy companies got their hands on the holiday. Manufacturers downsized candies into smaller, bite-sized packages and began marketing them as treats for Halloween. Source: MentalFloss.com
If you drive an hour from my house, you can get to an Indiana city named Gas City. If you drive into town, you’ll reach the City of Gas City GRAMMAR GUY City Hall. Did they have to do this to themselves? I like to think that the person who decided on this name did it in an attempt to be saucy. Yet, today you can visit the City of Gas City City Hall. While this is incredibly repetitive, it’s not an example of tautology. Tautology is a form of repetition where the same thing is said twice using different words. In the City of Gas City City Hall, you’re saying the same thing three times using the same words. We get the word “tautology” from the Greek noun “tautologos,” meaning “repeating what is said.” The Gas City example is an instance of tautophony, which is the repetition of the same sound. Here’s a sarcastic use of tautology by one of my heroes, Mark Twain: “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
In an age of limited bandwidth and diminished attention spans, brevity is not only the soul of wit, as Shakespeare wrote in “Hamlet,” but brevity is the soul of effective communication. Can you repeat that again? That’s a prime example of tautology. How about this one: “It’s déjà vu all over again.” This is one of my favorite Yogi-isms, which is the official term for off-the-wall quotes from legendary baseball hall-of-famer Yogi Berra. It’s also redundant and unnecessary. I did it right there; I didn’t need to say redundant AND unnecessary; only one of the words is sufficient. Maybe I’m beating a dead horse (a.k.a. committing idiomatic tautology) by writing an entire article on tautology. Perhaps I could have simply said, “Be brief and then be done.” However, I felt it necessary to explore the proverbial halls of the City of Tautology City City Hall.
