Tree causes $100,000 in damage to four cars news@currentnoblesville.com The Hamilton County Commissioners have agreed to pay nearly $100,000 after part of an 86-foot-tall oak tree fell onto COUNTY four cars parked on the Courthouse Square in downtown Noblesville Oct. 21. Strong winds caused the tree to break. The tree was on the northeast corner of the Courthouse Square. “We are so grateful that no one was hurt in this incident,” Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman stated. “The vehicles involved can be replaced or repaired. We’re just incredibly lucky this incident didn’t result in someone getting hurt.”

Strong winds caused part of a tree to fall Oct. 21 on the Courthouse Square, causing nearly $100,000 in damage to four parked vehicles. (Photo courtesy of Hamilton County)

The tree was deemed healthy in a tree hazard assessment three years ago. Altman said the county had no evidence that the

tree was diseased, dying or posed a threat. “Even though there is a question if the county is responsible under common law for the damage caused by the fallen tree, we feel strongly that we should assume responsibility for the damage caused to the vehicles,” Altman stated. “We do not want to place additional burden on the those affected and want to get them back on the road as quickly as possible.” The tree could not be saved and was removed. However, the county began cultivating saplings from the tree’s acorns several years ago and plans to plant them on the Courthouse Square to continue the tree’s lineage.

Hauser helps propel Westfield football team to new heights By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The loss to Center Grove in the 2020 Class 6A state championship game left the Westfield High School football players wanting more. “Winning state has been a dream of ours for a long time, and to get all the way there and not win definitely left teammates and I unsatisfied,” Westfield senior running back/safety Micah Hauser said. “Back in sixth grade we made a promise to our coach, Mark Robinson, we would win it all one day. He isn’t here today but we do it for him and we know he is watching from above.” Robinson, who was a travel team coach for the fifth- and sixth-grade team and a Carmel firefighter, died in 2017 after a battle with cancer. The Class 6A No. 2 Shamrocks began sectional play Oct. 29 against Noblesville. Westfield defeated Noblesville 42-15 in the regular season. Center Grove, which also had a powerful group of returnees, is ranked No. 1. The Trojans topped Westfield 38-14 at Lucas Oil Stadium in the 2020 state title game.

MEET MICAH HAUSER

College plans: Undecided but plans to play football and major in business. Favorite TV show: “The Office” Favorite movies: “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy Favorite musician: Juice WRLD Favorite vacation spot: Orlando and Disney World Prior to the sectional opener, Hauser led the Shamrocks with 710 rushing yards on 111 carries with 13 touchdowns. On defense, he had three interceptions and 81 total tackles.

“Micah is an extremely tough kid and an elite competitor,” Westfield coach Jake Gilbert said. “He is the best all-around, two-way player in Indiana, in my opinion. He has incredible hips, which make him a great hitter.

Micah is a four-year starter for us and has taken our program to new heights in 6A. “He is very humble and a great teammate. He is honestly a great kid who becomes a monster once he puts that helmet on.” Hauser said he has improved since last season. “Speed has been my emphasis this past year. After battling injuries and recovering from surgeries, it has been my main priority this offseason and has definitely gotten a lot better,” said Hauser, who rushed for 1,059 yards in 2020. The team’s strength is its bond, Hauser said. “I think our leadership from our players is the biggest reason for success the past two years,” he said. “We have been extremely close as a team and it’s definitely shown on the field.” Hauser said he doesn’t have a favorite position. “I just love being on the field with my teammates,” Hauser said. “I’m focused on the team going all the way this year.” Hauser, who wants to play football in college, said Indiana State University is one of the schools he is interested in.

Hamilton County Community Foundation awards more than $175K By Chris Bavender news@currentnoblesville.com The Hamilton County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, awarded grants Sept. 23 totaling $175,804 to 14 GIVING BACK nonprofits. “Responsive grants are in direct response to community needs and support opportunities, ideas and programs that have been developed by not-forprofit partners to address those needs. Responsive grants allow for capacity building, project-based or program re-

quests, and general operating support requests,” said Jeena Siela, community leadership officer for Hamilton County Community Foundation. Siela said the foundation’s mission is to “mobilize people, ideas and investments to make this a community where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential-no matter their place, race or identity.” One of the organizations that received a grant is Alternatives Incorporated, which strives to eradicate domestic and sexual violence through education, prevention and intervention in Central Indiana.

Tipton. The award supports their services that include but are not limited to aiding in maintenance, insurance, housing, child care and travel for those being served. “We were incredibly impressed with the number of applications we received in our May grant round,” Siela stated in a press release. “We’re so grateful for the work these 14 funded not-for-profits do every single day and look forward to partnering with them.” The full list of initiatives and grants funded can be found at cicf.org/2021/09/28/hamilton-county-community-foundati on-awards-over-175k-in-grants/.

Cervical cancer survivor stresses importance of routine health screenings Patient describes relationship formed with Ascension St. Vincent care teams as a ‘blessing’ After a visit to the emergency room due to uncontrollable bleeding, Elaine Krieg scheduled a Pap exam with her OB-GYN. When the exam detected abnormal cells, her doctor did a cervical biopsy. She said she remembers crying and pulling over to the side of the road when her doctor called with her results. “I got the call on a Friday night and my doctor told me that I had cervical cancer,” said Elaine. “I was shocked.” Elaine received chemotherapy and radiation, and has been in remission for two years. She said she has “been blessed” by the relationships she has formed with her care teams at Ascension St. Vincent. “I feel like I have been surrounded by the best medical team possible,” said Elaine. “My doctors and nurses are amazing, and they listen to all of my questions and concerns.” Elaine admits she went several years without having a Pap exam, but now she encourages all women to stay up to date on the screenings their doctor recommends.

Michael Callahan, MD, is Elaine’s gynecologic oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent. He said all women are at risk for cervical cancer, but it’s seen most often in women over age 30.

“A Pap exam could save your life. It may feel awkward at times, but it’s better to feel awkward for 10 minutes than go through what I went through.” Elaine Krieg, cervical cancer survivor treated at Ascension St. Vincent

“The human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and various strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer,” said Dr. Callahan. “Getting screened regularly is important, because it may help find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”

At Ascension St. Vincent, doctors are ready to listen to understand you and your needs as a woman. Gynecologists are available to help determine the screenings that are right for you. Current recommendations for screenings by age include: • 20s - Women should begin getting regular Pap exams. • 30s and 40s - Women should begin getting HPV tests in addition to regular Pap exams. • 50 and older - Women should continue getting regular screenings as recommended by their doctor. With locations throughout Indiana, Ascension St. Vincent makes getting routine screenings as convenient as possible. And if more advanced care is needed, you are connected to a team of specialists ready to help. We are maintaining strict precautions to keep you safe in our care.

Noblesville, Indiana September 21, 2021

It may take 10 years to fully come to fruition, but the City of Noblesville’s Innovation Mile initiative officially launched Sept. 21 when announced during Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen’s State of the City address. Innovation Mile will be a 1-mile-long, master-planned business district along Jensen 141st Street between Olio Road and Prairie Baptist Road. The development will encompass 200 acres and include commercial space designed for innovative companies. Jensen said he hopes Noblesville will “drive its own growth.” “We know there’s a strong nucleus of innovation companies, technology companies and advanced manufacturing,” Jensen said. “We know there’s a strong core of that here in central Indiana. We wanted to have a 200-acre, master-planned site for

Fishers’ Economic Development Director Andrew Murray said his department is already working on the project. He expects Innovation Mile will take 10 years to fully complete, but companies may begin to break ground as soon as 2023. The first step for the economic development department is to begin utility work. “We want to work at updating our comprehensive plan with this vision and updatNoblesville, Indiana

have a story and a competitive advantage and be able to articulate to these companies why they will be successful should they invest in your community,” Murray said. “We are trying to add to our product to sell the vision behind this 200-plus acres. Ultimately, we want this to be a high-end, campus-like, master-planned development.” To create the campus-like feel to Innovation Mile, Jensen said green space, trails and coworking spaces are important. “We want an innovation corridor that is not only acceptable to big companies but also with smaller areas for the one- and two-man shops getting ready to launch their company to land in as well,” Jensen said. “We want there to be park land in it, restaurant and food options, food trucks, for example. We know IT spaces and innovation spaces really thrive off of cohesion and groupthink, so there will be areas (where) those folks all working together in that campus can go together and share ideas.”

CHOOSING THE SITE Mayor Chris Jensen said there were several reasons why the City of Noblesville planned Innovation Mile on 141st Street between Olio Road and Prairie Baptist Road. “It’s easily located and is adjacent to I-69 and a half-hour or less to Indianapolis International Airport,” Jensen said. “We heard those two key components are why industries land in Hamilton County.” Jensen said it’s tough to find a 200-acre plot of land in Hamilton County, and there were only three land owners for the site where Innovation Mile is planned. “We are going to work with them through the development process,” Jensen said. “Property owners are aware and are part of the early discussions.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

In self we trust?

Marooned at Meijer

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Arguably, the 1980s band New Edition led the subsequent wave of teen pop. Smooth rhythms and mellow voices found the perfect combination of safe and sexy to appeal to a wide audience, one could assume to include singer Whitney Houston, who ultimately married founding member Bobby Brown. History lesson aside, Track 9 on the band’s 1985 album, “All for Love,” is a song “Who Do You Trust?” For those good readers who have to ask Siri what is an album, let alone a track, suffice it to say it is a 4-minute and 13-second saccharine musical romp where ostensibly the teenage paramour is wooing his would-be Juliet into doing something that she is resisting with the lines, “Who do you trust if you can’t love me? I’m the one who loves you.” Rightly, judging from the many, many times the phrase is repeated, Juliet isn’t buying it. Fast forward a few decades and we now find ourselves trapped like our young heroine. Most, it seems, implore us to “trust” them, preferably them alone. We are encouraged, even scolded, to put aside our long-held beliefs and blindly follow the lead of a business marketing campaign, an ambitious government official, or any of a dizzying array of folks, good and bad, that hope to possess our money, our votes, or our very beliefs. The pledges range from personal fitness, to a better society, to a career-promising education, to a key to heaven. If we give them what they want, they will give us what we want. How can this be a bad thing? Free-market trade is best of all. But where there is no trust, can we make a fair evaluation of our alternatives, let alone a fair exchange? How can we believe that they are “the one” who loves us?

Meijer and I have a special relationship. We live only a mile apart and have known each other more than 20 years. She’s been a source of sanity for me, whether it was allowing me to kill time with little ones during inclement weather or to roam her aisles in solitude when I just needed to get away from maternal and marital reality. I think that’s why whenever I am with her, I am at my most vulnerable. She makes me feel safe, and for that reason, I let my defenses down. Take yesterday, for example. My husband Doo was sick with some nonCOVID-19, flu-like illness, and since I already had plans to desert him for an overnight in Louisville, I offered to go to Meijer for comfort foods and ginger ale before I left. As I’m standing in the soup section perusing the myriad of chicken noodle offerings, Meijer’s Muzak kicks in with that stupid Maroon 5 song: “Here’s to the ones that we got; cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not; ‘cause the drinks bring back all the memories.” You know the one. And suddenly, I am thinking about my deceased dad and fighting the tears that are threatening to embarrass me right in front of Hungry Man and Campbell’s. Meijer! How could you? After all we’ve been through together! The impulse purchases, the late-night milk runs, the disastrous checkouts, the awkward confrontations with ex-neighbors and column haters. How dare you manipulate my feelings when I’m least prepared to suppress my emotions? But I still love you, Meijer. And our relationship will always be special. Peace out.

On a bad roll placing sandwich orders Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I never know what to order when I go into one of those trendy new soup-andsandwich places. The list of uncommon offerings is endless. The people standing behind me have obviously downloaded a menu at home and given this some previous thought. Am I the only person in line who hasn’t got a clue what he wants? Most of the choices at places like Panera and Einstein’s are curious combinations of international cheeses, weird sandwich spreads like “pesto” or “tomesto,” with words like “frontega” or “sri-rancha” thrown in. Before I order something new, I try to envision what all that will taste like when they glop it together on one sandwich and nuke it. The human mind can only imagine so much, like when I tried to visualize Bill Clinton as first lady. Sandwiches have changed since I was a kid. Back then, there was ham, roast beef, peanut butter and jelly and tuna or egg salad. That’s what you got at home from Mom or at the corner deli. The Earl of Sandwich supposedly invent-

ed the sandwich in the 1700s so he could eat and play cards at the same time. But I just don’t see a guy betting his fortune on an inside straight and then asking his servant if there is any chipotle mayo for his portabella and Swiss on a jalapeño bagel. Now, I have so many unrecognizable choices, plus the pressure of the customers behind me who are antsy to get back to their laptop at a nearby table.

“Sandwiches have changed since I was a kid.” – DICK WOLFSIE I recently visited Einstein’s at lunchtime, stayed at the back of the store and put on my specs. From that vantage point, I could peruse the menu without being pushed into a premature decision. I tried to go unnoticed. Rats! I was spotted. “You! Back there, sir. What can I get you today?” she bellowed. All the employees whipped their heads around, somewhat embarrassed they had not spotted me first. “I don’t know yet. I’m just browsing.”

The menu became a large blur. The Thai Salad with Lime Dressing merged in my mind with the Spicy Chicken on Onion Challah. Panicked, I retreated to an old 1960s standby. “I’ll have a ham and cheese sandwich,” I said. Customers stared at me in bewilderment, like I had ordered a vanilla cone at Ben & Jerry’s. “Do you want Black Forest, Bavarian, Cuban or Virginia ham? And what kind of bread? We have nine varieties … and do you want it toasted? And which country do you want the mustard to come from? And how about cheese? We have a separate menu section listing all of the options.” I left and got a Big Mac. No complicated questions coming through the loudspeaker. Just, “Do you want fries with that?” I did. And it only took one second to make up my mind.

Vaccine protects moms, babies Commentary by Dr. Charles Harris Are you a new mom, expectant mom or someone who wants to be a mom someday? If you have not already, PANDEMIC please consider getting a COVID-19 vaccine — for the health of both you and your baby. In recent weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine have doubled down on their pleas for pregnant and new moms to get vaccinated. Pregnancy can slightly weaken the immune system, making patients more vulnerable to severe illness which may require hospitalization, intensive care, special equipment to breathe or illness that results in death. For those trying to conceive, please take comfort in knowing that there has never been evidence that any vaccine, including the COVID-19 vaccines, has caused fertility problems in women or men. If you conceived after receiving your first Pfizer or Moderna shot, you should get your second shot as soon as you can to provide as much protection as possible. None of

the COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that causes COVID-19, so the vaccine cannot make you or your unborn child sick. And for those who are pregnant, evidence suggests that the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh any known or potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy. In fact, you are at an increased risk of preterm birth and might be at increased risk of other adverse pregnancy outcomes if you get sick with COVID-19 and are not vaccinated. Studies show that vaccination with an mRNA vaccine during pregnancy not only builds antibodies in the mother but in umbilical cord blood, too. Those with questions about the COVID-19 vaccine should have a conversation with their health care provider. You also can contact MotherToBaby. Their services are free and confidential. They can be reached at 866-626-6847.

Carmel Symphony Orchestra tunes up for ‘Masterworks 2’ at the Palladium By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Janna Hymes has a host of reasons for looking forward to the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s “Masterworks CONCERT 2” program — not the least of which is presenting the music of a historically significant composer, Florence Smith Price. “I’m very excited about the music that we’re playing,” said Hymes, CSO’s artistic director. “We’re playing a very important piece on this program, a piece by Florence Price. She was the first Black woman composer to be played by a major orchestra. “I just think that’s really a great thing, and her music is extraordinary.”

Janna Hymes will conduct the “Masterworks 2” program Nov. 13 at the Palladium in Carmel. (Photo courtesy of Carmel Symphony Orchestra”

Hymes will conduct the Nov. 13 concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts, 1 Carter Green, Carmel. Besides the Price piece, “Masterworks 2” will include selections by Russian composers Mikhail Glinka and Dimitri Shostakovich and Mexican composer Arturo Marquez. Each selection, Hymes said, strikes unmistakable notes of each composer’s homeland. “All the pieces, they’re very melodic, and their very nationalistic,” Hymes said. “They sound like their country. There’s a combination of very melodic music that is just typical of the places where these composers are from, and so it’s fun, it’s really fun. “I think that a lot of the music will be new to the audience.” Especially the featured selection, “Symphony No. 3 in C Minor,” by Price, an Arkansas native who became the first Black woman to have a composition played by a major orchestra when the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed

one of her pieces in 1933. Besides being a classical composer, Price (1887-1953) also was a pianist, organist and music teacher. “She had her own voice when she wrote music,” Hymes said. “She was very influenced, of course, by the Black church growing up. It’s a real American sound. You can hear a little bit of gospel, you hear almost a cross between some (George) Gershwin, maybe a little bit of that jazz-era gospel, folk, it’s all in there. It’s just really extraordinary and a pleasure to play.” Hymes is equally enthusiastic about the other selections of the “Masterworks 2” program. The pieces are Glinka’s “Russian and Ludmilla Overture”; Marquez’s “Danzon No. 2”; and Shostakovich’s “Ballet Suite No. 1.” “I am excited about it. I can’t wait to get started,” Hymes said. “Every time we play, it’s epic. The orchestra’s playing so well, and we are just so together as a unit right now, playing music together. Every time we play, people are just going crazy. The audience is really picking up on the fact that we’re playing from our heart, and we play really from our heart and soul, and that’s every time. “There are some very exciting moments in this concert, and beautiful moments in this concert. I think the audience is going to love it. I know they will.” Per COVID-19 protocols at the Center for the Performing Arts, face masks are required upon entry for everyone 3 and older. All patrons 12 and older must show proof of full vaccination, in the form of either a vaccination card, photocopy, photo or digital image, along with a valid ID.

Businessmen form rock band By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Steve Meyer and his three bandmates discovered they shared a love for hard rock, metal and alternative music. MUSIC The band, called Rhino Down, which describes itself as career folks by day and rockers by night, started before COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020. “But it really didn’t get serious until during the pandemic,” Meyer said. “The pandemic gave us time to stay at home and learn songs. This is the first attempt at a band for all of us. It’s something we always wanted to do. Since we are all business people, we created a mission statement and a strategy. We don’t have tattoos. We don’t have long hair. We live pretty normal lives.” Meyer, a 58-year-old retired aerospace sales executive who is now a part-time consultant, plays lead/rhythm guitar and backup vocals. The other band members are Paul Giefing, vocalist, lead/rhythm guitar, commercial relationship banker, TCU; Adam Hayes, drummer, president of The Hayes Marketing

Parks Place Pub

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8594 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Chicken sandwich Price: $12.95 Anna’s take: I visited Parks Place Pub for the first time last week. It’s a relatively

Order the grilled chicken sandwich, buffalo style, with a side of fries at Parks Place Pub. (Photo by Anna Skinner) new restaurant at the corner of Municipal Drive and 116th Street in downtown Fishers. It’s a great restaurant to walk to on your lunch break if you work in the vicinity, and with pletny of TVs, it’s a great place to watch sports. I loved the chicken sandwich, especially the option to order it grilled or fried and to add buffalo sauce, which I did. I had fries as my side. They had a great crispy texture that I loved.

Behind bars: Sparkling Paloma Get it at LouVino, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. mezcal, 1 oz. grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz. lime juice, 0.75 oz. simple syrup, 3 dashes angostura bitter, champagne, lime wedge Directions: Shake first five ingredients with ice and strain into a coup glass, then float champagne on top.

Blueprint for Improvement: Clearwater bathroom makes a splash Commentary by Larry Greene This 1991 Lake Clearwater home is on the north side of Indianapolis. The owners took on several interior updates to fit their modern tastes, including the master bathroom.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The first step was to reimagine the layout. Space from the adjoining hall bathroom was used to accommodate a spacious walk-in shower and allowed the addition of a freestanding tub. • The shower was designed with a “zero-threshold” for maximum accessibility and features a frameless glass enclosure. • The owners chose many waterinspired finishes, from a pool-blue quartz countertop for the vanity to wavy glass tile in the shower. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling; email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. Visit caseindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

Correct states of pronunciation Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Today, I’m tackling the most mispronounced state names and how to get them right. Let’s start in ColGRAMMAR GUY orado. This state boasts high elevations from the Rocky Mountain range. Many people incorrectly pronounce Colorado with a short “a” sound, as in “hat.” The short “a” sound is incorrect; instead, the “a” should be pronounced “ah.” For some reason, we want to say the word “Nevada” like we’re passing a jar of Grey Poupon out the window of our limo. We say “Ne-vah-duh.” Actually, the correct pronunciation is a short “a”: Ne-va-duh. This is the opposite of Colorado. The way I remember how to say Nevada is by saying “Never-had-a,” like in Cheap Trick’s 1989 song “Never Had A Lot To Lose.” The first line of this song states, “I don’t need no money, honey.” This is kind of like when you leave Las Vegas broke and penniless. Never-had-a. Ne-va-duh. Take a quick trip up to the Northwest U.S. and we find the state of Oregon. At first

glance, I see a place where all the “ore” is “gone.” Don’t be fooled — it isn’t pronounced “or-gon.” In fact, “Oregon” has three syllables: Or-uh-gn. The last syllable, “gon,” is pronounced like “gun” if the “u” was missing. You’re going to have to memorize this one yourself: Or-uh-gn. Now, let’s jet across to the far Southeastern U.S., where we find the peninsula state of “Florida.” I’ve heard folks say “Flaw-riduh,” with a big emphasis on the “flaw.” The correct way to say Florida is “Floor-ih-duh.” Think of a floor, just like the Walmart floor a Florida man poured salt on in order to get rid of evil spirits back in 2019. True story. I almost had time to include Illinois and Arkansas. Since I’m out of words, just remember to leave off the “s” in the pronunciation of each state. With Illinois, that can be kind of “ill-annoying,” while in Arkansas, you simply “saw” off the “s.” Safe travels!
