Hamilton County commissioners on Oct. 28 unanimously approved a request for proposDOWNTOWN als for construction of a 434-space parking garage on Clinton Street just east of North Eighth Street. County attorney Mike Howard presented the proposal to commissioners Mark Heirbrandt and Christine Altman. Howard Commissioner Steve Dillinger wasn’t present. The county owns a 205-space parking lot south of Ind. 32, where its employees currently park. Employees must cross Ind. 32 to reach the courthouse or the judicial center, a path that can be dangerous because Ind. 32 is the busiest street cutting through downtown Noblesville. The proposed parking garage would relocate all county employee parking north of Ind. 32, eliminating the need to cross the street. The county’s proposed 10-year plan is to construct a 434-space garage with the flexibility to expand it to 583 spaces by adding a fourth level. The parking garage proposal also states that the City of Noblesville will transfer ownership of its 46-space parking lot north of the judicial center to the county. Costs for the project won’t be released until after the RFP is complete. “The structure will be built to accommodate a fourth level, or third, above-ground level, at a later date with (149) additional spaces,” Howard said. “The extra floor would be in the county’s 20-year projections.” Howard noted, however, that a

Councilor repurposes signs By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com With the general election approaching Nov.5, plenty of yard signs are likely destined ENVIRONMENT for trash bins after Nov. 6. But Noblesville Common Council member Darren Peterson decided to reduce yard sign trash by repurposing his primary election signs into birdhouses. Peterson got the idea from a friend’s son, who planned to repurpose the signs for his Eagle Scout project. Peterson then made two birdhouses for himself. “I don’t think any birds will live in mine,” Peterson said. “I didn’t do a lot of bird research, but he (the Eagle Scout) has birds living in his.” The project required one sign per birdhouse and took approximately two hours to complete. With his 250 general election signs,

Peterson plans to complete a recycling project by melting down and then repurposing the signs into a bench to place in a park. “To me, it’s about taking what already exists and putting a unique spin on it,” Peterson said. “Let’s make things interesting and meaningful for the residents of Noblesville.” Peterson asks anyone with remaining yard signs to not throw them away but email him at darren@electpetersonnoblesville.com.

NHS scholarship to honor Davis, Cole In the span of 15 days, Noblesville High School lost two basketball legends. IN MEMORY Krissi Davis died unexpectedly in her sleep Sept. 7 at age 51. Courtney Cox Cole died Sept. 22 at age 48 after a 5 1/2-year battle with non-smokers lung cancer. The Noblesville High School girls basketball team has established a scholarship fund to honor Cole and Davis, both Indiana Basketball Hall of Famers. NHS volleyball coach Jill Almodovar played with Davis and Cole on the school’s 1987 state championship team and remained close friends with both. “I know both of them would feel as though this is an honor to have a scholarship in their names,” said Almodovar, whose maiden name is Lyon. “They would be proud. They both had amazing basketball careers,

The junior varsity game starts at 5 p.m., followed by the varsity game at approximately 6:30 p.m. Proceeds from the games will go to the scholarship fund. Custom T-shirts honoring Davis and Cole may be purchased through the Noblesville Girls Basketball Club by Nov. 11, with all proceeds going to the scholarship fund.

Almodovar plans to give an annual Krissi Davis Legacy Award to the most coachable volleyball player. The scholarship fund will be managed through the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation and will provide financial assistance each year for seniors on the NHS girls basketball team. “Honoring the legacy of these two amazing women means so much to me and to our whole basketball

30 millionth meal coming up By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Since 2007, Carmel’s Hintz family has been working toward a lofty goal of hunger relief, and NONPROFIT this year, during their annual Million Meal Marathon, they will pack their 30 millionth meal. Dan and Nancy Hintz founded the Million Meal Movement 13 years ago, and as they have for the past eight years, the couple will once again bring together more than 3,000 Indy-area folks at Lucas Oil Stadium to pack at least 1 million meals, all of which will be donated to Indiana food banks. Million Meal Movement reaches all of the state’s 92 counties. The Million Meal Marathon is set for 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12. “We have Hoosiers of all walks of life coming together to help others who are in need. In Indiana, one in five are hungry, and I think a lot of people don’t realize that,” Nancy Hintz

said. “We have a lot of single parents and grandparents raising their grandchildren. We have veterans and seniors who have to make a choice between their medication or food or other bills. The problem is that wages and salaries have not kept up with the rising cost of living.” Volunteers work in two-hour shifts alongside former Indianapolis Colts players and cheerleaders to pack the meals, which consist of vitamins, dehydrated vegetables, rice and soy.

We help in those initial investigations, the management of the cases and also provide trauma therapy for anyone who needs it.” Cherish’s work can often be challenging to discuss, which is why the organization decided to conduct a non-traditional fundraiser.

City reaches connectivity, trail milestone By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com For several years, the City of Noblesville has touted its 85-mile trail network, and COVER STORY recent efforts to expand the network have reached a new milestone. Last month, with the opening of the Levee Trail in the northern part of the city, Noblesville completed its 100th mile of paved pedestrian path, connecting many of its trails through a partnership with Hamilton County Parks and Recreation and Citizens Energy, which owns the land on which the trail is constructed. Fifteen years ago, the city had 35 trail miles. The Levee Trail has added 1.4 miles of multi-use path to the network along the east side of Morse Reservoir from Morse Park and Beach, a county-owned park, to Carrigan Road. The trail also gives the Town of Cicero the opportunity to connect and extend it further north. “The original thought for the Levee Trail came up in 2013 to provide a connection for the neighborhoods off of and near Carrigan Road and beyond, including Cicero, to give them access to our downtown,” said Andrew Rodewald, a city engineer and project manager for the Levee Trail. “If you ever went on the trail prior to construction, there was a well-

worn path from all the foot traffic. That specific area was used a lot by local residents. It’s also just a really scenic area and a beautiful section of trail that we know will be well used. “It will complete a connection. You can now get from North Harbour subdivision to downtown on a dedicated pedestrian path.” As part of its agreement with Citizens Energy, the city wants to extend the Levee Trail farther north. “The agreement that we have with Citizens (Energy) says that the city desires to continue this trail north and tie into our northern limit at 216th Street, which ties into a trail that Cicero has that ends there,” Rodewald said. “The ‘how’ of how it gets from here to there is still in the works, so we’re within half a mile of getting to Cicero from Hague Road.” In addition to the Levee Trail, the city is putting finishing touches on two other major trail projects — the

third phase of the Midland Trace Trail on the west side of the city and the fourth phase of the Riverwalk in the southwest quad downtown. Both sections officially opened Oct. 29. “Some of the connection is trail and some of it is sidewalk, but the (100 miles) is all connected through pedestrian facility,” Communications Manager Robert Herrington said. “With these new connections, a resident of North Harbour or Oak Bay could actually get to downtown Indianapolis,” Rodewald said. “Take the Levee Trail to Hague Road, then take Hague Road to the Midland Trace, and then take Midland Trace to the Monon. This makes a vital connection for northern Hamilton County.” Another major pedestrian project in the works in Noblesville is the construction of the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge, which will make an eastwest pedestrian connection from the downtown square across the river.

“IF YOU EVER WENT ON THE TRAIL PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION, THERE WAS A WELL-WORN PATH FROM ALL THE FOOT TRAFFIC. THAT SPECIFIC AREA WAS USED A LOT BY LOCAL RESIDENTS. IT’S ALSO JUST A REALLY SCENIC AREA AND A BEAUTIFUL SECTION OF TRAIL THAT WE KNOW WILL BE WELL USED.”

OTHER TRAIL PROJECTS “We do have three other major trail projects that we have federal funding for that are three to four years out each,” Andrew Rodewald said of projects that are set to begin construction in 2023 and 2024. Rodewald is a city engineer and project manager for the Levee Trail. The first project is the construction of the Little Chicago Road pedestrian bridge from Carrigan Road to Elderberry Road, which will connect with the trail already in place along Little Chicago Road. Another project is Stony Creek Trail near Ind. 37. “That trail will go alongside Stony Creek and will go under Ind. 37,” Rodewald said. “This pops out near Hare Chevrolet and would be the only grade-separated pedestrian crossing in Noblesville. Then, there’s the Allisonville Trail that will put a bridge over Stony Creek and travel from the five-points roundabout (at Greenfield Avenue and Christian and 10th streets) south to Wellington Parkway.”

Referendum conundrum

Trump not a source of pride

Commentary by Terry Anker California nearly has bankrupted itself with referendums. All sorts of initiatives are brought to the ballot without much in the way of how those items might be financially supported. Good citizens evaluate the “worthiness” of the requests and vote accordingly. Without understanding context, or cost, voters leave state officials scrambling to pay for it all. Occasionally, the state’s Supreme Court will prevent the addition of a referendum to the ballot, like it did with a move by many citizens to divide the state into three distinct states. But generally, the initiatives go to the voters with many open questions. Still, referendums may be the most direct way for citizens to interact with our democracy. Voters decide which, if any, things matter. Political subdivisions make choices which may make it more, or less, successful to retain and attract us to the fold. Competition is good. Even if not, it is ubiquitous. In our own fine state, referendums usually are limited to school funding. What is our appetite for spending? What risk will we tolerate? If we don’t support the effort, what harm is caused? Will not spending have a greater impact than the surety if we do? Ballot initiatives are growing in import. Be informed and vote like it matters. Isn’t skipping it assuredly a failure to our responsibility in a democracy? This referendum conundrum requires something from us and we should give it.

Aglow in the fall gloom Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know if it’s my British ancestry or my highly flammable ginger complexion, or perhaps HUMOR even, according to my husband, Doo, my cold and dead soul, but I am digging the rainy weather outside my windows right now. There’s just something about a dreary day. I love that Mother Nature has given me permission to sit on this couch and ignore yard work and exercise. I love that I am basically forced to turn on the fireplace. I love that I feel no compulsion whatsoever to literally do anything productive except microwave leftover Stouffer’s lasagna and sip hot tea. I especially love that I can legitimately go to bed at 6 p.m., because glorious nightfall has arrived early, and that I can sleep under the heavy blanket because temperatures might dip below freezing! Fingers crossed! I don’t even care that the semi-monsoon has short-circuited

half of the house. When you have a fabulous Halloween display that includes an animatronic Pennywise, 2,000 feet of orange twinkle lights and dozens of red and green spots, all wired through 15 different extension cords, some rated “inside use only,” you learn to expect electrical mishaps. Nope, no worries here. I am literally soaking up a beautiful gift of a miserable afternoon and considering moving to Seattle or Dublin. Don’t get me wrong. I probably couldn’t handle months on end of no warmth or sunshine. Usually, by March I’m ready to auction off my firstborn to buy an airline ticket to anywhere south. But a good, old-fashioned rainy fall day every once in a while? Well, that’s right up my Irish, redheaded, soulless alley. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, I have read the letters by Trump supporters lately, informing us that Mr. Trump has been unfairly treated. One thing we can probably both agree on is that Trump’s character is not a source of pride for either of us. Would you want your son or daughter working closely with Mr. Trump? Would you comfortably enter into a business deal with him? I’m guessing Democrats and Republicans have much in common. We care about immigrants, but we believe in rules for immigration. We believe in religious freedom. One thing neither side ever says is, “Trump is forever putting the concerns of our country over his own personal interests.” My Republican family members who profess to love Jesus should be embarrassed about their current support of Mr. Trump. Republicans refuse to mention that Trump’s personal character is shocking and abhorrent. Gaslight much? I don’t want to hear any well-known Republican comment on any future candidate’s morals ever again. Christy Wiegand, Noblesville

Campaign to recognize local nurses By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Working an extra hour during daylight saving time is especially tough on the night APPRECIATION shift. For the seventh year, Western Governor’s University of Indiana, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit online college, is kicking off a campaign to recognize local nurses who will work an extra hour during daylight saving time at 2 a.m. Nov. 3. The campaign aims to draw attention to the extra work done by nurses time by giving them appreciation kits while also drawing attention to its scholarship program. One of its stops is Riverview Health in Noblesville. “I was a night shift nurse for 30plus years, and during my days as a WGU student, remarked to former Chancellor Allison Barber how different a night shift nurse’s lifestyle is, everything from sleep, to opportunities for development, to how no

So, within a couple of weeks, I was helping her man a table at my hospital from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Besides the obvious sleep disruption, night shift nurses have traditionally faced barriers to their career progression by not interacting with their leadership regularly, (and)

Craft lover opens AR Workshop Carmel By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurent.com Brenda Armie has always been a lover of crafts. “I love making things, Christmas and birthday presNOW OPEN ents,” Armie said. “I was in technology for the last nine years at Guerin Catholic High School and I decided it was time for a change. I went to one of these types of crafting places. I went to see if there were any franchises and AR Workshop came up.” Armie decided she wanted to open the shop and teach classes. A Noblesville resident, Armie opened AR Workshop Carmel with her husband, Jeff. The store is at 14643 Gray Rd. in Westfield, on the other side of the street from Carmel. The store couldn’t be called AR Workshop Westfield because there was already a store by the same name in Westfield, N.J. The AR Workshop franchise is

the first in Indiana. The AR name is derived from the last names of co-founders Maureen Anders and Adria Ruff. “I was looking for something different and this was it, especially when I went on the website,” Armie said. “They coordinate everything so well.” Armie said customers can come in by themselves, with a friend or

groups for do-it-yourself projects. The store, which opened in late August, plays host to private parties. Parties and classes are conducted mostly on evenings and weekends. Customers can make items such as cake stands, dog beds, serving trays, cheese and wine trays, pillows and chunky blankets. “I am full time at another job and full time here,” said Jeff, who helps clean up and setting up projects. “I have an art background. At this stage of our lives, it’s nice to have something we can do in retirement.” Armie said nine part-time employees help out. She trained the staff by first having them do projects under her guidance. Employees had their families in the store to wait on them, practicing customer service. There is a calendar on the website, showing when different classes are taught. For more, visit arworkshop.com/ Carmel.

Indiana’s jobless rate dipped in August to a preliminary 3.3 percent from 3.4 percent in July, according to the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development. The rate in Indiana hasn’t been that low since February 2018, when it stood at 3.3 percent for three consecutive months starting in December 2017. Source: Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development

Indianapolis Opera brings auto racing connection to ‘Elixir of Love’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey has a question for opera lovers. MUSIC “Have you ever seen a race car at an opera before?” Starkey said. He knows the answer likely is no. “For the first time at Indianapolis Opera, we will connect the international world of opera and motorsports in the same show,” he said. Starkey has made adaptations to the comic opera “Elixir of Love,” which the Indianapolis Opera will present Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington Veach at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. A 1909 Maxwell, on loan from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, will make a stage appearance along with IndyCar driver Zach Veach, a Zionsville resident, in the production. “We have slightly adapted the show to a very particular time and location, which is generally not the construction of the opera that Gaetano Donizetti wrote,” Starkey said. “It’s traditionally set around the 1860s in an Italian village.” Inspired by relationships between Indianapolis and Italy, Starkey has set the story in 1910 in Lucca, Italy. “Lucca is a famous Italian city, where for the Andretti family, opera and motorsports came together,” Starkey said. “The Andrettis moved there as refugees from World War II.” The Andretti family later moved to the United States. Starkey saw a documentary

1909 Maxwell car will be featured in “Elixir of Love.” (Submitted phto

about the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s 1969 Indianapolis 500 victory. Andretti and his twin brother, Aldo, were introduced to racing through a mechanic shop in Lucca. “Mario’s father made some extra money by working in the opera house in walk-on roles, and the family would be able to go and see the opera,” Starkey said. “We’re not setting it in the era when the Andrettis were there, which was the ’40s.” Dulcamara, a con man posing as a pharmacist, is selling a fake love elixir, cheap Bordeaux, to the citizens. Starkey said the tie to Indiana is the automotive world that was developing in Europe and the U.S. In Indiana, automakers were developing, and the first Indianapolis 500 was in 1911. Gary Simpson plays Dulcamara. “He is on the docket to do the role soon at The Met, so he is coming here to try it out,” said Starkey, a Geist resident. Veach, an Andretti Autosport driver, will play a character named Mario, representing the assistant to Dulcamara. Andretti Autosport is owned by Michael Andretti, Mario’s

son. “I think Mario (Andretti) was first approached for this role and he had a schedule conflict,” Veach said. “They started looking for other drivers. They called a good friend of mine and he told them about me, and luckily I was available.” Veach, 24, said he fortunately doesn’t sing or have any lines. “I’m strictly a walk-on for this,” he said. “I’m completely out of my elements for this. My girlfriend (Katie McConnell) went to school for musical theater, so she is giving me an idea about it. My life has always been about race cars, so this is going to be a new experience.” Veach has never been to an opera but is glad to be a part of this one. “For me, Mario has been like a grandfather,” Veach said. “I’ve been with the team since I was about 15 years old. He’s been a big part of my life as far as a figure I look up to. He is connected to this with the area he grew up. For me to be a part of that in my own sense is an honor for myself.” The performances are at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15-16 and 3 p.m. Nov. 17. For more, visit indyopera.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: A charming mid-century kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The wall opposite the window was removed and replaced with a support beam and column — detailed to match the existing trim — to open the space. 2. A generously sized island with seating and storage was added where the wall once stood. 3. The existing hardwood floors were repaired and stained. 4. The overhead soffits were removed; the original windows are now a highlighted design feature. 5. The hardware selected for the glass front cabinets is true to the kitchen’s mid-century roots.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1955, this Meridian-Kessler bungalow was in need of some big changes. The new homeowners wanted to remove the walls separating the kitchen, dining and living rooms to create an open floorplan. They also wanted to update the kitchen with a focus on retaining the original charm of the home.

Use magic verbs Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Jerónimos Monastery in Belém area of Lisbon. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A history of Jerónimos Commentary by Don Knebel Belém, named for Bethlehem, is an area of southwest Lisbon along the Tagus River. By the 15th TRAVEL century, sailors were leaving from the Belém port to explore the western coast of Africa and beyond. The Order of Christ provided assistance for arriving and departing sailors. In about 1460, Henry the Navigator built the Church of St. Mary of Belém near the port. In 1496, Portuguese King Manuel I petitioned the pope to convert the deteriorating church into a monastery, where monks of the Order of St. Jerome could pray for his eternal soul and provide spiritual assistance to the explorers who were traveling further and further toward Asia. In 1498, Vasco de Gama reached India, the first European to reach Asia entirely by sea. Portugal soon established a lucrative sea trade with Africa and the Orient, bringing enormous wealth to Portugal. As a result, King Manuel greatly expanded his vision of the

Jerónimos Monastery, employing architects to design a massive complex in the ornate style that eventually became known as “Manueline.” Construction of the monastery began Jan. 6, 1501, financed with a 5 percent tax on goods arriving at the Belém port from Africa and Asia. When completed about 100 years later, the monastery had become one of the most important buildings in Portugal and the burial place of Portuguese royalty. The Jerónimos Monastery survived the 1755 earthquake that destroyed much of Lisbon, but was secularized by government decree in 1833 and is now operated by a private charitable organization. In 1983, the Jerónimos Monastery and the nearby Tower of Belém were named UNESCO World Heritage sites and are now the two most visited sites in Lisbon. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Your résumé (or curriculum vitae, if you speak Latin) can be like a key that unlocks GRAMMAR GUY the door to an interview for your dream job. You don’t have to have a funky design. Instead, drop in some well-placed success verbs. According to corporate success guru Marc Cenedella, action words aren’t enough. Instead, he suggests, use what Cenedella calls “success verbs” to strengthen your résumé. When listing your work history accomplishments, use bullet points. Follow each bullet point with an energetic verb that packs a powerful punch. After each success verb, add a specific numerical value for your career accomplishment. First, let’s focus on some tired, weak verbs most of us have on our résumés. Words like “managed,” “led,” “established” and “performed” are boring and overused. Just be-

cause you did these things doesn’t mean you were any good at them. Let’s shift our focus to the magical words that can help get you hired. Cenedella lists 25 specific, compelling verbs: accelerated, achieved, added, awarded, changed, contributed, decreased, delivered, eliminated, exceeded, expanded, gained, generated, grew, improved, increased, introduced, maximized, minimized, optimized, produced, reduced, saved, sold and streamlined. These verbs possess vigor and translate to bottom-line organizational impact. Now, all you have to do is follow these verbs with a measurable statistic that will impress the socks off your potential employer.
