The training was funded by a research grant from the U.S. NaSaxon tional Security Agency and the Dept. of Homeland Security. Saxon, 51, has been with the NPD since 1998. NPD officials said this training can be used for both community cyber protection and investigation, as well as department cyber security.

Schools continuing conversation after racial threats By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

A racially charged threat of a school shooting at Noblesville Schools has led the district to continue an important converCOURTS sation about diversity, bullying and respect at all grade levels, preschool through 12. One day after the Nov. 16 threat was found on a bathroom wall at the high school - which read, “School shootings are fun …Don’t come to school on 11/19/18,” among other racial slurs - district officials and the Noblesville Diversity Coalition organized a community event to host conversations and give support. Police believe a 15-year-old student at the school wrote the threat, and Noblesville Schools officials said they began expulsion of the student Nov. 16. Police did not release the name of the student, and, as of press time, officials from the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office did not say if they planned to file a petition alleging delinquency, which would include charges against the individual. In the days following the threat, weekend activities were not cancelled, and on Nov. 19, classes weren’t canceled. Instead, there was an increased police presence, and students spent Monday morning with their peers, school staff and other speakers talking about the importance of respecting and standing up for others. At the high school, breakout discussions were held with students who were specifically targeted by the threat.

“It’s important to let these students know they are secure, respected and heard by providing a safe place for them to talk and share their feelings,” a statement from a Noblesville Schools read. “Our eventual goal is for students and adults of all races and ethnicities to feel safe and to have open and honest conversations about race together.” The City of Noblesville is responding as well. “I implore us all to be strong in our collective message that racism, or marginalizing anyone based upon their gender, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, age, family status or sexual orientation will not be tolerated here,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “Noblesville is our home. It is home to more than 65,000 residents. We have different backgrounds, different languages, different religious beliefs and different skin colors. Our differences do not divide us, but make our community stronger and richer. “As the district holds its own discussions with students, it is important for every family in Noblesville to have their own conversations with their children about diversity and inclusion. This conversation will continue so we can make real, meaningful change and ensure this type of incident never happens again.” This week, the Noblesville Diversity Coalition, Noblesville Schools, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and City of Noblesville will present a Special event, “Going Beyond Diversity,” at 6:30 p.m. Nov 29 at Noblesville High School, 18111 Cumberland Rd. Brooklyn-based educator and literacy reform advocate Cornelius Minor will lead a discussion on inclusion, diversity and more. The event is free and all ages are welcome.

Association aims to reduce abuse By Jessica Hoover news@currentnoblesville.com The Indiana Township Association is working to change Hamilton County’s recent child sexual abuse CAMPAIGN statistics, which show the county will exceed last year’s number of reports. Reports have risen each year for the past four years. As of August, Hamilton County averaged approximately 40 child abuse reports per month, with 319 this year. The ITA recently launched its No More Secrets public awareness campaign, which aims to raise awareness of child sexual abuse. On Nov. 13, the ITA kicked off a five-month Lunch and Learn series. On the second Tuesday of every month through May, a Lunch and Learn will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Kirkendall Room at the Delaware Township Community Center, 9090 E. 131st St. “The purpose of a Lunch and Learn is to target specific audience groups that work directly with youth,” said Chris Kelly, No More Secrets campaign project manager. “For example, we hosted the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana (for the first event). It’s

just kind of the tip of the iceberg, prevention and training that we provide to those participants. So, we go over the No More Secrets campaign, we define what it is and the goals. We go over some statistics for both Hamilton County and the state, and then we go over a tailored presentation for the participants to give them some more insight as it relates to their organization.” Although each Lunch and Learn event is tailored for a specific organization, they are free and open to the public. For more, contact Kelly at ckelly@indianatownshipassoc.org. “Through this campaign, we hope to be able to curtail the number of reports and the number of cases,” Kelly said.

State of the City By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

On Oct. 31, hundreds gathered into a banquet hall at Embassy Suites and Conference Center in southeast Noblesville to hear an update from Mayor John COVER STORY Ditslear. His annual State of the City address is hosted each fall by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, but this year the event saw a change, as it’s usually held in the opposite corner of the city at Harbour Trees Golf Club off Carrigan Road. Two years prior, Deputy Mayor Steve Cooke was touting the Embassy Suites project at the State of the City address when he filled in for Ditslear. At that time, the city had just broken ground on the project that now houses more than 25,000 square feet of meeting space. The annual address covers the city’s accomplishments of the past year and highlight upcoming projects.

The roundabout at 19th and Pleasant Streets opened last week. (Submitted photos)

ROADS

Logan Street Bridge — Drivers have likely noticed significant construction work at one of the city’s busiest downtown intersections – Ind. 19 and Logan Street. The northbound lane of Ind. 19 from Ind. 32/38 to Logan Street has been closed for several weeks and lane restrictions in the eastbound lane of Logan Street on the bridge have been in place to allow completion of the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge. A joint project between the City of Noblesville and Hamilton County, the bridge’s aesthetic will match the Riverwalk’s.

Ditslear delivers his second-to-last annual address, highlighting 2018 and future projects Looking ahead, Ditslear said work will shift to the intersection of 16th and Pleasant Streets but construction won’t begin until 2020. New roundabout, July 4 changes — During the summer of 2019, the city will build a roundabout at Field Drive and Cumberland Road near Noblesville High School with money from a federal grant. Because of construction in the area, the city’s Fourth of July celebration, which is normally at the NHS campus, will be moved to Forest Park. “Those that grew up in Noblesville, or have been here long enough like myself, remember watching the fireworks off the viewing hill at Forest Park,” Ditslear said. “For those of you who have never had that experience, you can in 2019.”

PARKS

DOWNTOWN

Ditslear began the event by talking about a change to the Noblesville Common Council, where Darren Peterson was elected by a special caucus to replace Mary Sue Rowland, who resigned in September. But downtown projects and road enhancements were the theme throughout. The Levinson Project — The Levinson was introduced to the Noblesville Common Council earlier this year and is the city’s solution to adding more housing and more parking in the heart of downtown. Although some residents worry its scale and design is not consistent with the downtown landscape, the council approved the project. “The Levinson will attract and retain millennials, empty nesters, high-earning and workforce professionals to downtown,” Ditslear said. “It will serve as an economic driver and help bring urban density to our square to support our local businesses, restaurants and shops. Because these are the first apartments being constructed in downtown in more than a century, we must get it correct. Rebar (Development) has been meeting with stakeholders to create a design that best fits the location and our history. Our downtown is applauded for being historic as well as authentic. I know The Levinson will add to that.”

COMMUNITY

A rendering of the Logan Street Pedestrian Bridge shows the completed project looking north up the White River, just west of the Riverwalk and Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center.

So far this year, the city has invested approximately $250,000 for improvements in its parks. “A majority of the changes have occurred at Forest Park, including a much-needed remodel of the restroom building, resurfaced recreation courts and repainting of the carousel pieces,” Ditslear said. “A lightning detection system was installed this year to best alert our guests if severe weather approaches and provides them ample time to react and safely evacuate, if needed. In its first year, Noblesville opened four Zagster bike-sharing locations and in six months, the city has almost 500 active members using 20 bikes. More art also has been incorporated into the park through two crosswalks and a mural on the back of the north restroom building.” Ditslear said Noblesville was awarded $3.5 million this year for two trail projects, including the Little Chicago Road Pedestrian Bridge over Morse Reservoir and Stony Creek Multi-Use Path under Ind. 37. Both projects, which are federally funded, will go to bid in 2022 or 2023, Ditslear said

PUBLIC SAFETY

This year, the city completed extension of the Midland Trace Trail to Willowview Road, and a trailhead was built and opened at Hazel Dell Road.

Olio Road and 141st Street — The city is planning to widen Olio Road from 141st Street to just north of 146th Street to four lanes. Other improvements along the stretch include a new roundabout and sewer and drainage enhancements. City officials said adding sewer service in the area will open up approximately 125 acres for development. 19th and Pleasant Streets — The roundabout at 19th and Pleasant streets by the post office and fairgrounds opened last week. Ditslear said the project will greatly increase safety at the intersection and improve traffic flow. The change at the intersection is one step toward the city’s plan to extend and widen Pleasant Street and change its intersections to roundabouts. The city has not set a timeline or identified funding for the project.

“We had a very serious (shooting) incident at Noblesville West Middle School on May 25,” Ditslear said. “When the call came, our first responders deployed their training and performed at the highest level. I could not be more proud.” Ditslear also spoke about the Noblesville Police Dept. recently being re-accredited, meeting more than 189 standards. “Six percent of Indiana law enforcement agencies are accredited,” Ditslear said. “Noblesville is only one of nine that have both national and state accreditation.” Ditslear said crime also is down in the city. “I’ve previously discussed the police department’s new units designed to be proactive rather than just respond to incidents,” he said. “The shift in enforcement has the (community policing) and intelligence units specifically targeting criminals and criminal activities. This is working. Crime is going down in Noblesville. Through August, the city has had less than half the total crime reported last year.”

LETTER

False impressions

Synagogue attacks lead to discouragement, hope

Commentary by Terry Anker We live in an age of swift and irreversible judgment. Accusation, if acutely leveraged, has the effect of judge, jury and executioner. Our prejudices lead us to the warm corners of our own confirmation bias – we find and digest only that which agrees with that with which we already agree. Ordinarily, inconsequential or naïve utterances are used as blunt instruments to destroy decades-long careers, family relationships and trusted institutions. The English Bard, William Shakespeare, reminded us that “suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.” But he might have added note of the corrosive effect it has on us all. Like the eroding result the irresistible forces of nature have on the seemingly impenetrable ancient stone fortresses, the constant aspersion of the detractors amongst us debases our trust in each other and in our communal organizations. Seeming truisms – trust no one – become false demigods. Can we live in the complete absence of trust? Should we? Is it even correct to imagine that not one human can be trusted – ever, in any circumstance? Regardless, we plod on, wary of the motive and intention of others. We isolate ourselves in eternally smaller identity groups, eager to exclude any who fail to conform to our increasingly doctrinaire vetting of their likely natures. The 1930s radio show character, The Shadow, claimed: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” Yet, given his almost supernatural deductive powers, The Shadow still had to discern between actual guilt and its mere perception. Appearances deceive us. Motives are often complicated, and things are routinely not as they seem. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Avoiding December disasters Commentary by Danielle Wilson This is it, people. The season of parenting Olympics is upon us, and as a 20-year survivor of the most exhausting of HUMOR months, I’d like to offer some hard-earned advice. After all, we don’t want a repeat of 2009, do we? • Just say no. No to making an extra batch of homemade sprinkle cupcakes for your first-grader’s teacher (she wants cash, anyway!). No to hosting a mother-daughter holiday tea for Scout Troop 176. And a big, fat no to anything that involves glitter and/or licking more than 11 envelopes. • If you ignored No. 1 and said yes to Elf on the Shelf, there’s not a lot I can do for you now. My best advice is a late arrival (“Pickleknuckle’s flight was delayed. Stupid ATL”) and a fake broken leg (“Honey, it’s really hard for PK to move around. Santa said he should stay put”).

• Clearly articulate plans to all parties in advance, and if possible, in writing. Having definitive dates, times and locations ahead of time allows for the necessary mental and emotional preparation for dealing with in-laws, politically polarizing family and sugarcookie-crazed rugrats and provides opportunity for the stockpiling of Maker’s and the orchestration of multiple escape routes. • Amazon Prime. • Make lists. Check them twice. Gifts, chores, grocery, honey-do, Netflix mustwatches, “Reasons I Should Be Mom of the Year,” whatever. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein

Editor, I attended a Community Memorial Gathering (Nov. 1) at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation for the people who were recently killed at the synagogue in Pittsburgh. In one way, I feel discouraged at seeing acts of anti-Semitism rise 58 percent since 2016, but another part of my spirit is hopeful, and here is why. There were more than 1,000 people from all faiths being present to show their support of our Jewish brother and sisters. In past year, I have seen acts of support from the Jewish community for the Muslim community and the Muslim community reaching out in support to the Jewish community as well. Recently, we saw people of all faiths build a house for a family through Habitat for Humanity. We had more than 60 people in attendance every Thursday evening of October for Carmel Interfaith Alliance’s “Meet Your Neighbor” series, where we had speakers share their beliefs and misconceptions of their faith. I am convinced that one of the best ways to decrease prejudice is helping people meet others of another culture or faith tradition. Once we get to know each other as human beings we see how much more we have in common than what divides us. Pastor Jerry Zehr, president of the Carmel Interfaith Alliance

‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ set for CCP By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This normally would not be the type of play that longtime Carmel Community Players board member Lori PLAY Raffel would choose to direct. “I usually pick edgier shows, but no one would submit a Christmas show,” said Raffel, a Carmel High School graduate who lives in Indianapolis. “I don’t have any family left. I don’t go anywhere (at Christmas). I thought, ‘I’ll just bite the bullet and I’ll do the Christmas show.’” Raffel struggled finding a show she wanted to do until someone suggested she read the script. “I thought it has a great lesson to it and it’s not preachy and it’s not cheesy,” Raffel said. “It’s really funny and I think kids and adults will like it.” CCP’s production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” will run Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 at Studio 37 in Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, 10029 E. 126th St., Fishers. “The stage is bigger and there is a curtain, and for this show, the curtain is very important,” Raffel said. Raffel said she cast several members of Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy’s dance students. “It was hard to find boys (to cast),” Raffel said. “So, the Herdman family is supposed to be girls and boys but now it’s just one boy and the rest are girls.” The cast includes 12 children and five adults. The story revolves around a Christmas pageant at the church. There is a new director but the woman normally in charge breaks her leg. “They talk this poor mother into doing it,” Raffel said. “The Herdmans, kind of a welfare family with the parents not around, come because they hear at church you get refreshments for free. They show up and end up getting all the big parts.” Raffel said everyone tells the director it’s going to be a disaster and the Herdmans are bullies. “In the end, it’s the best Christmas pageant ever because everyone learns they are pretty cool kids after all,” Raffel said. Raffel said she put some singing in the show because the cast are such good

singers. Fishers resident Joe Meyers plays the pastor. His wife, Lee, plays one of the church members. “We met in 1980 playing husband and wife in a play called ‘My Daughter, Your Son,’ in Terre Haute,” Joe Meyers said. “We enjoyed it, so we made it permanent.” Joe Meyers has been acting since 1956. “I started in 1950 when I was a mere lass,” Lee Meyers said. Westfield Middle School seventh-grader Maya Davis is performing for the first time with CCP. She has previously performed with Westfield Playhouse. Davis plays Imogene Herdman. “I like that she is mean and sassy,” Davis said. “I like the change she goes through and she has some killer lines, as my mom puts it. She shows her soft side as the show goes on.” Carmel residents Steven Marsh and his wife Nikki Vrtis, along with their son, Sam Vrtismarsh, are in the production. Marsh plays Bob Bradley and Vrtismarsh plays his son, Charlie. Vrtis plays one of

the church women. “I’m on stage a lot and don’t say anything. The times that I do talk I have some pretty funny lines,” said Vrtismarsh, a Carmel Middle School sixth-grader. Vrtismarsh played one of the Herdman children in the same play in 2014 at Westfield Playhouse. “He was one of the bratty Herdman kids. Now, he’s playing the good kid,” Marsh said. “This is the second time we played father and son on stage. We played in “The Nerd” for Westfield Playhouse.” Vrtis is making her acting debut, although she did play the Wicked Witch in a “Hansel and Gretel” play in kindergarten. “(Vrtis) started reading for people and I just kind of hooked her in,” Raffel said. Vrtis looks forward to her small part. “It’s not a huge role, so there are not too many lines to learn,” Vrtis said. “It’s just getting on stage at the right time. I’m hoping I can remember (the lines) once I have an audience.” For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

Time for ‘A Little Christmas Spirit’ By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Virtually all plays have a unique set of staging challenges, and Main Street Productions, Inc.’s presentation of THEATER “A Little Christmas Spirit” is no exception. But director Kat Watson prefers to leave it at that. “I can’t answer this one much or it will give away a bit of a surprise,” she said. “But the play takes place in both 1990 and 1950 at the same time. Now, figure that one out.” Featuring a main cast predominantly of Hamilton County residents, “A Little Christmas Spirit” begins an eight-show run Nov. 30 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32. The final performance is Dec. 16. Written by Pat Cook, “A Little Christmas Spirit” tells the story of J.D. Morris, who has been searching desperately for a special gift for his grandson. After wandering into Nick’s Emporium and finding what he’s been looking for, he receives a surprise when he returns to pay for the item: The store is vacant. Main cast members from Hamilton County are Thom Johnson (Noblesville) as Nick; Nate Piggush (Fishers) as Jerry Morse; Cindy Dun-

DeYoung brings ‘Grand Illusion’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Styx lead singer Dennis DeYoung never understood the attraction of performing an entire album, start to CONCERT finish, in concert. “My theory is on any album, no matter how great it is, there is always a song or two that you think, Does anybody really need to hear that one again?” DeYoung said. “The fans responded so positively, we said, ‘OK.’ My observation after having done this for a long time, the fans are pretty important. Without them, I’d be in my basement playing with my trained parrot.” DeYoung, 71, will present the 40th anniversary tour of the “The Grand Illusion” album at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at the Palladium in Carmel. “It started as a lark on the 40th anniversary of the day it was released, July 7, 1977,” DeYoung said. “I decided to do that one show in Chicago and sold it out. People reacted so positively to it that my manager and I decided to try it again in December and sold it again. We thought, ‘What’s going on here?’ So, we decided we would offer it

to promoters, and 25 different cities came in immediately to do the show. It continues because promoters keep wanting that show.” DeYoung, one of the founding members of Styx, was fired from the group in 1999 after he wanted the other band members to postpone the tour because of an illness that temporarily made his eyes sensitive. His bandmates refused and replaced him. DeYoung, who had creative differences about the band’s direction, wrote seven of Styx’s eight Top 10 Billboard singles.

Anthony’s Chophouse

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Jumbo sea scallops Price: $38 Anna’s take: Anthony’s Chophouse has a variety of terrific dishes, and I tried several, but the jumbo sea scallops were by far my favorite. The scallops are pan-seared, served on top of a creamy cotija polenta and topped with chorizo and black beans. It’s a lighter dish that doesn’t feel as heavy as steak or pork chops (which also were delicious), but the scallops are meaty and tender. Before my main course, I sampled the tuna tataki ($16), which is sushi-grade tuna with pickled asparagus and jalapenos on the side. A wasabi avocado crema adorned the plate and was a great way to add just

a touch of spice without being overbearing. The tuna tataki is dusted with a wonton crumb and the tuna slices are thick and tender. I also sampled the kale cherry salad — tossed kale, green apples, dried cherries and figs drizzled with a balsamic gastrique and lemon cherry vinaigrette. The salad combines sweet and tangy flavors. If you aren’t a scallops fan, try the Berkshire Chop ($31) as an entree. It is a center-cut, bone-in and slow-braised pork chop, served on top of puffed barley, which is the restaurant’s play on risotto. Topping the pork is a tangy balsamic gastrique and a thick, sweet strawberry chutney which makes this dish taste like the holidays. Anthony’s Chophouse serves its side dishes family style. A good option is the creamy mac ($12), a delicious combo of gemelli pasta, serrano peppers, tomato skin, gouda cream and white corn crisp on top. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try the broccolini ($11). It’s served with shaved almonds, dried cherries and a white wine vinaigrette. Suggested pairings: Anthony’s Chophouse has excellent, unique cocktail selections and I would suggest going with one of those. My personal favorites are the Chophouse Old Fashioned and the Dirty Dancer – a spicy play on a vodka martini with sriracha.

Behind bars: The Dirty Dancer Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. Tito’s vodka, dry vermouth, .75 oz. dirty mix, 4 drops sriracha, 2 stuffed olives Directions: Rinse a martini glass with dry vermouth. Add vodka, dirty mix, sriracha and ice to a shaker tin and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled martini glass and garnish with two stuffed olives.

McAllister said Mason Van Valin posted an ad on Facebook and Elijah Edwards was the only one to respond, so they begin playing and writing music together. They wanted to expand from there, so they put an ad on Craigslist. “The girl I was living with sent a submission video and I happened to be in the background,” McAllister said. “They spotted me and heard me singing. They tracked me down through my dad’s chain of hot dog restaurants in the Midwest. I grew up in the Midwest but was living in California when we met. It was really serendipitous, the whole thing. We started writing music and have been doing it ever since.” The Fairground Saints will open for country music singer/songwriter Sara Evans at 8 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Palladium in Carmel. “We found even with just the one show we did with her that her fans were very

responsive to what we do,” McAllister said. “I think she’s so passionate about songwriting that I think her fans can see that and feel that. We’re passionate about it, too, and it’s a great pairing for that reason.” Earlier this month, the group released its rendition of “Silent Night.” “We are looking forward to performing that while on the Christmas tour,” McAllister said. “It’s going to be all new songs from us, mixed in with a little bit of that Christmas music, too.” McAllister said this is the group’s first holiday tour.

SAVE THE DATE Formation in Zion National Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Religion in a national park Commentary by Don Knebel Zion National Park is the only place in the United States where government employees routinely lecture about God, angels, the Bible and the Book of Mormon. TRAVEL Even the park’s name has religious connotations. Through millions of years, water and wind created unique red and white sedimentary rock formations on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah. In the 18th century, Mormon pioneers settled near the formations, which they thought reflected the majesty of God. As a result, they called the area the “Heavenly City of God” or “Little Zion.” They named one formation “Mount Moroni” after the angel they believe appeared to Joseph Smith, their founder, and named “Kolob Canyon” after the heavenly body LDS members associate with God. In 1916, a Methodist minister from Ogden, Utah, described a massive flattop formation as the “Great White Throne” of Revelation and the name stuck. A lower formation nearby then became known as “Angels Landing.” Someone called a row of formations across

from Mount Moroni “The Three Patriarchs” in honor of the biblical Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Continuing the theme, other formations became known as the “Pulpit,” “Organ Pipes” and the “Altar of Sacrifice.” In the spirit of ecumenism, the “Temple of Sinawava” was named for the wolf god of the Paiutes, Native Americans who once lived in the area. Ironically, the Virgin River that created the canyon running through the area does not have a religious significance. It was named for Thomas Virgin, the first European to see it. In 1919, the collection of rock formations with the religious names was designated a national park and named Zion, a biblical term initially associated with the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Visited each year by 3 million people, Zion National Park is second to Salt Lake City’s Temple Square as Utah’s most popular destination.

Although the obvious route might be to reach for a glass of cold water, a new study suggests a different approach. The most thirst-quenching drink, according to science, is a glass of cold seltzer.
