Council approves appropriations, transfers Compiled by Sade Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council met Nov. 26 and approved several ordinances for various appropriations. For more, visit cityofnoblesville.org. What happened: The council held a public hearing for three ordinances for additional appropriations. One for design work at Seminary Park, one for the first phase of design of the Pleasant Street expansion and extension project and one for continued downtown streetlight replacement. What it means: No residents spoke during the public hearings. The council unanimously approved all three ordinances. What happened: The council discussed an ordinance for additional appropriations for streetlight refurbishing downtown. What it means: Sam Beres, a financial analyst for the city, presented the ordinance. “This ordinance appropriates an additional $35,000 from the downtown development fund in 2019,” Beres said. “This is happening in tandem with a transfer resolution. In conjunction, this ordinance and the transfer represent an effort to align appropriation authority with spending out of the downtown development fund. To this point in the year, spending out of the downtown development fund has not yet exceeded the existing appropriation authority that has been granted by the council. This ordinance is needed in order to make sure there is enough appropriation authority from the fund to cover the spending that we know is going to happen.” The council set a public hearing for the ordinance for its Dec. 17 meeting and will vote at a future meeting. What happened: The council approved an ordinance concerning refunding of the city’s sewage works revenue bonds from 2011, authorizing the issuance of new bonds. What it means: City attorney Mike Howard presented the ordinance. “In 2009, the city issued sewage works revenue bonds in the amount of approximately $12 million. I believe that was for a big, underground tank and some other improvements for the sewage treatment plant,” Howard said. “We have an opportunity to refund those bonds at some substantial savings. The savings, through 2030, would be approximately $1.6 million. Since that time, our underwriters have looked at a more creative opportunity to refund these bonds with tax-exempt bonds versus taxable bonds to pump that savings up somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.5 million. This is revenue-neutral.” Councilors voted to suspend the rules to take a vote on first reading and unanimously approved the ordinance.

What happened: The council approved an amendment for the previously passed 2020 salary ordinance for city employees. What it means: Human Resources Director Holly Ramon presented the amendment, which includes adding specific job titles and duties and correcting previous errors, to the council. “It is important to note that while there are changes, no additional funding is required,” Ramon said. Councilors unanimously approved the amendment. What happened: The council heard an overview of the 2020 wastewater utility budget. What it means: Utility Director Ray Thompson presented the budget to the council. Thompson said the overall utility budget will increase approximately 3.5 percent, which mostly is due to changes in employee wages, benefits and one retirement. “One of the major changes was the moving of three stormwater employees from stormwater to engineering,” he said. “We had a lot of work this year. It was a busy year for collection systems. We had a lot of sinkholes that we had to deal with this year and a lot of storm inlet failures. So, there is an increase for each of those (for 2020).” Thompson said his department is seeing an increased cost for lab chemicals due to a phosphorus removal plant coming online. What happened: The council approved a transfer in the general fund. What it means: Financial analyst Sam Beres presented the details. “This transfer resolution deals with the general fund. It’s pretty straightforward,” he said. “We have a couple of instances of departments wanting to use existing appropriation authority to spend funds on something different. In one case, the court would like to use money that was originally appropriated for services and other charges to purchase $2,500 worth of office furniture and supplies. The other instance is in finance and accounting, (which) is asking to use $16,000 that was originally appropriated for personal services to buy new cubicles for the redesign of the office layout.” The council unanimously approved the transfer. What happened: The council approved a transfer in the downtown development fund. What it means: The transfer deals with the money involved in purchasing new streetlights and potting soil for downtown. Beres presented the details. “This is a series of transfers to align appropriation authority with spending out of the (downtown development fund),” Beres said. The council unanimously approved the transfer.

Nonprofit partners with churches to temporarily house homeless parents and children By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Because of restrictions, homeless shelters and programs often divide families if the facility accepts only women and children or only men. Family Promise of Hamilton County ExecCOVER STORY utive Director Nancy Ramsey is working to change that in Noblesville and Hamilton County. “We serve families. Our tag line is, ‘Because every child deserves a home,’ so we serve families and we don’t define families,” Ramsey said. “We serve the children and whoever the adults are – two dads, Ramsey two moms, grandma and grandpa. As long as a child is involved and the adults that are their guardians, we don’t split genders.” The Hamilton County affiliate of Family Promise, a national organization, opened in Noblesville in the spring and welcomed its first family in June. It partners with churches throughout the county. The churches agree to house families for a week at a time. Families rotate to other partnering churches. “There’s a weekly rotation. Families come in on Sunday afternoon and leave the following Sunday,” Ramsey said. “They are only there at night from the dinner meal on to the next morning, and a van provides transportation. If the parents don’t work, they come to the day center (in Noblesville).” Each family has its own bedroom inside the churches, which set aside four sleeping areas for different families. “Most churches use their Sunday school class-

rooms or a nursery,” Ramsey said. “One smaller church building uses partitions in their sanctuary and sets up bedrooms. They set it up like a hotel room, and we have rollaway beds brought in.” The churches provide dinner pitch-ins, grab-andgo breakfast in the morning and sacked lunches. Homeless families can take part in the program for 30 days as long as they follow rules, such as remaining drug- and alcohol-free. Carmel resident Robyn Flint utilized the services with her three children, Nilah Pierce, Calel Young and Cataleya Young, before finding an apartment in Noblesville. Guardians are able to access computers at the day center to search for jobs and housing. “This program helped, because if it wasn’t for the program, we would’ve been homeless,” Flint said. “We would’ve had to go to a shelter in Indianapolis. Family Promise provides shelter, food, spiritual help and creates this amazing, supportive village in Hamilton County. It’s created this huge support system that not only I have never had, but (my kids)

have never had. It taught them what love is.” For more or to donate, visit fpohc.org.

PARTNERING CHURCHES Many of Family Promise of Hamilton County’s referrals come from churches. Referrals also come from youth assistance programs across the county and the Good Samaritan Netwrok. Ten churches in Hamilton County partner with Family Promise to provide housing for homeless families. The participating churches are Venture Christian Church in Carmel, NSPIRE Church in Westfield, Noblesville First United Methodist Church, Green Valley Church of Christ in Noblesville, Our Lady of Grace in Noblesville, White River Christian Church in Noblesville, Faith Community Church in Noblesville, New Joy Lutheran Church in Westfield and Cicero Christian Church. Support churches participate, too, by helping with transportation and providing meals.

ESSAY

LETTER

Perpetual celebration

Civics are being tested

Commentary by Terry Anker The leftovers are gone. The turkey bones have been boiled and the resulting soup was enjoyed. Soon, the decorations will be hung by the chimney with care. Our sights set on the coming holidays, and then the new year, distract us from the impending threat of winter. Sparkling lights, abundant food and the closest friends and family all align to help us wrangle some deep-seated, primal fear about the hunger and isolation triggered by the frosty nights. Still, doesn’t it all seem most harsh weeks past the solstice in the waning days of January? The festoons are packed neatly away, back in the attic awaiting next year. Guests have gone home. And we are focused on bringing our waistlines back into pre-holiday circumferences. But, the days remain short, cold and blustery. Don’t we need each other much more after the fun is over? Even the bitter and unrepentant Ebenezer Scrooge learning the depth of his error was heard to exclaim, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” He could have sent a goose to the Cratchits, donated a few bucks and settled in to enjoy the 19th-century London equivalent of holiday football games. Instead, he vowed to play the long game. As family clears out for another year, can we make the same declaration? If not, have we missed the point of the whole thing? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

A holiday survival guide Commentary by Danielle Wilson All right, people. Here’s my plan for surviving the holidays. Feel free to adopt, share or reject HUMOR outright. I really don’t care. Because that’s my mantra as I wade through the next few sugar-filled, sleep-depriving, financially and emotionally draining weeks. It won’t be all bad, true. Who doesn’t love a season that embraces 1970s claymation, egg nog and ugly sweaters? But I’ve learned through the years that December can become your worst nightmare if you don’t prepare properly. The key? Don’t get too invested. In anything. You’ll only be setting yourself up for disappointment and alcoholism. So, here you go. You’re welcome. 1. Just say no. “No, I can’t make it to the office party.” “No, I won’t be participating in Secret Santa.” And, “No, I’m not driving you, my darling daughter, to ice skating, Yogurtz, Castleton and then to Emily’s.” Borrow from the Mothers-of-Twins handbook: Just say no!

2. Expect the worst. The almighty flu will smite your house, and the 12-foot fir, laden with antique glass ornaments, will topple. If you expect high levels of chaos and stress, you’ll either be well-prepared when it hits or pleasantly surprised that you survived unscathed. Win-win. 3. Schedule “me time.” In this season of gift-giving, don’t forget to love yourself! Take 20 minutes after your fifth Meijer run to play solitaire. Lock yourself in the bathroom for an afternoon of “The Crown.” Have a second cranappletini with your gal pal. You can’t successfully navigate choppy Yuletide waters if your mental compass is perpetually pointing south. Ignore the guilt, recite the mantra and practice self-care. Good luck, friends. See you on the other side. Peace out.

Editor, I am old enough to remember the Nixon and Clinton impeachment hearings. I did so as a news director and later station manager. Those two situations were afforded bipartisan consent and legal counsel for the defendants. This has been denied. Furthermore, during the Nixon political espionage, it was agreed that the impartiality of a special prosecutor was required. No one following the attempt to tarnish this presidency would label Congressman Adam Schiff unbiased. Finally, and most importantly, the premise in this, versus the previous two situations, is glaringly obvious for any open-minded, objective person. After three years and $40 million of ‘nothing’ from a completed ‘special prosecution,’ Adam Schiff and company are still searching for a crime. Indeed ‘civics’ are being tested in this unprecedented political hit job. Brad Reed, Noblesville

The Discounts that actually cost you money — Retailers have latched onto a way to offer giant percentages off that are mesmerizing to shoppers but are not what they seem. The pitch: You get a gigantic discount, typically up to 70 percent off, but the fine print notes that you get that discount only on a second or third of multiple similar items. Signs in store windows and on store shelves (and online) shout out the percentage and shoppers often don’t do the math to see just how unimpressive these offers typically are.

DISPATCH Healthy holidays — With so many yummy treats on hand during the holiday season, it’s hard to resist splurging. The result is the much-dreaded holiday weight gain. One way to minimize that is to budget your calorie intake much the same way you would budget vacation spending. Don’t waste calories on store-bought cookies, or green bean casserole, just because they are there. Instead, be selective and indulge in small portions of truly special dishes and desserts.

Noblesville couple to perform together in ‘Messiah’ at the Palladium By Sadie Hunter  sadie@youarecurrent.com A passion for music brought Wes and Cindy Colter together. They met as members of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir even though neither began MUSIC their music career as a vocalist. Now, with their 54 combined years in the choir, the Noblesville couple will perform in the Dec. 19 production of Handel’s “Messiah” at the Palladium in Carmel. They have performed in the show many times through the years. Cindy, 58, majored in music but wasn’t a voice major at Furman University in Greenville, S.C. But she was a member of the Furman Singers. Wes, 54, was a business major at Indiana University but also studied organ and began playing in churches and with choirs. “I didn’t sing after college until I moved to Indianapolis in 1989,” Cindy said. “Not knowing anyone here, I was looking for things to do with my time because I did not have a job immediately, and I saw an ad in the newspaper for auditions for (Indianapolis) Symphonic Choir. “In August 1989, I auditioned and have been in ever since.” Six years later, Wes auditioned and joined. “In 1995, I was already married, and we moved to a much bigger house,” Cindy said. “Wes’ family had a furniture store, so in addition to knowing him in the choir, I got to know him that year as friends. Later, I was divorced, and Wes was still a friend. We were married in 2003. We had members of the choir sing at our wedding. It was very special for us.” Cindy said her favorite vocal in “Messiah” is “For Unto Us A Child Is Born.” “It’s my favorite little choral thing,” she said. “I think it’s just so welcoming of the holiday season, and for those of us who are Christian churhgoers, the church year.” “(‘Messiah’ is) a challenging piece to sing,” Wes said. “A lot of church choirs sing parts of it, but to sing the entire piece for three hours is a vocal challenge, and I think we all enjoy that a lot. It was written as a performance piece, not as a church piece. All of these oratoriums were actually staged opera productions, basically, so they were intended as entertainment rather than church pieces. It’s a real audience favorite year in and year out, but for those of us who are singing, I think that music is beautiful and timeless. The entire story of how the music came together in the very beginning

when Handel wrote the piece is just an amazing story. “He wrote the piece in three weeks, so he wrote three hours of music with solos and orchestra and choruses all in a very short period of time. It truly was inspired. It covers the entire life of Christ.” Typically, the Colters sing together in the choir’s “Festival of Carols” production. Although they aren’t this year because of scheduling conflicts, the show will return for three performances — 8 p.m. Dec. 20 and 3 p.m. Dec. 21 and 22, also at the Palladium. Tickets range from $15 to $57. “Messiah” will start at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 19. Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Associate Conductor Jacob Joyce will direct the show, and tickets range from $15 to $91.

Fermenting fragments Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ruins of Adobe churches in Pecos Historical Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Pecos Historical Park: 800 Years of History Commentary by Don Knebel Pecos National Historical Park provides an opportunity to explore the ruins of an ancient PuebTRAVEL loan village and a Civil War battlefield. In about 1100 A.D., the Puebloans, an indigenous people living throughout the American Southwest, established a village of mud buildings 26 miles east of what is now Santa Fe, N.M. Located near the strategic Glorietta Pass, the villagers became prosperous trading with other indigenous peoples. In 1540, Spanish forces under Vasquez de Coronado discovered the village, then a five-story pueblo housing 2,000 residents, and named it “Pecos. In 1598, the Catholic Church sent a Franciscan friar to Pecos. He destroyed the circular kivas the Puebloans used for religious ceremonies and smashed their idols, creating enormous resentment. The original priest was replaced in 1621 by a more tolerant one, who convinced the residents to build a massive adobe church, by far the largest in New Mexico. In 1680, Puebloans throughout New Mexico revolted against what they considered unnecessarily harsh

Spanish rule. The residents of Pecos killed their priest, demolished the huge church and built a new kiva near the church. The Spanish fled but soon returned and built a much smaller adobe church within the site of the earlier one. In the late 18th century, Pecos began to decline from disease and Comanche raids, and by 1831 Pecos and its historic church were abandoned. In 1965, the ruins of Pecos became part of the Pecos National Historical Park, enlarged in 1990 to include almost 7,000 acres. A trail takes visitors past the foundations of the original adobe church, the still-standing walls of its replacement and a restored stone kiva. The park also incorporates the site of the Battle of Glorietta Pass, an 1862 battle along the Santa Fe Trail that ended the Confederate campaign to separate the Union from the West.

What is kombucha, anyway? I know you were already thinking about it. KomGRAMMAR GUY bucha is like the kale of liquids. Does anyone really enjoy it? If you take a swig of this fermented swill, you’ll get a mouthful of vinegary, yeasty tea fungus. I guess I don’t like my teas fermented in the same way I don’t like my sentences fragmented. Or do I? The grammar gods strongly advise against writing sentences in fragments. “Sentence fragments” is industry-speak for “incomplete sentences.” A complete sentence includes a verb, makes sense on its own and communicates a complete idea. After all, writing is all about communication. Here’s an example of a sentence fragment: “Because he lives near the ocean.” If the sentence read, “He lives near the ocean,” we’d be

T OG E T H E R WI T H

in good shape. However, adding “Because” to the beginning makes this fragment a dependent clause. We need the “why” to follow the “because.” We speak in fragments. Constantly. We use them either to express a casual style, to create rhythm in your writing or to emphasize a point. While grammar purists will probably beg to differ, I will throw them this bone: Avoid using sentence fragments in formal writing. If you’re writing your law dissertation, stay away from sentence fragments. However, when you are writing in a conversational, informal forum, feel free to play with the rules.
