Residents urge council to vote against $250 million development

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com During it’s Dec. 3 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council heard from 18 remonstrators who urged CITY NEWS councilmembers to vote against the rezoning and development of Morse Village, a $250 million development on approximately 173 acres near 206th Street and Hague Road.

Developer LOR Corp. introduced the project to the common council Oct. 15. The Noblesville Plan Commission sent a unanimous favorable recommendation to the Noblesville Common Council for the project Nov. 18.

The common council will vote whether to approve the project at its next meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 17. at 16 S. 10th St. in Noblesville.

Morse Village would have three main areas — North Pointe, South Pointe and West Pointe, with single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily homes, commercial space and more.

“I believe this project (would be) a great project for the City of Noblesville,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “I also understand that not everyone will agree with that state-

ment, and it won’t be perfect for everyone.

I believe this project (would) make Noblesville better not only in the short term but for future Millers as well.”

Since the Nov. 18 plan commission meeting, LOR Corp. made changes to the development plan, which it presented at the Dec. 3 common council meeting. Changes include doubling the required number of trees in the north buffer to maximize its density and requiring condos to reach no more than four stories (three liveable and one for parking).

Remonstrators urged councilmembers to vote against the development or take more time to consider it at the Dec. 3 meeting.

Residents are concerned about LOR Corp.’s decision to only preserve 89 percent of the area’s wetlands.

Monica McCoskey, an attorney with Paganelli Law Group, spoke on behalf of Harbour Trees Golf and Beach Club at 333 Regents Park Lane in Noblesville, which “requires millions of gallons of water to operate (the golf course).”

“The proposed development stands to remove more of what the White River Alliance and Hoosier Environmental Council have already urged local governments to protect and preserve,” McCoskey said.

Phil Sundling, vice president of development for LOR Corp., said it has confirmed with Citizens Energy Group, which serves the public water in the area, that water is available for the development.

Another concern for residents is the proposed four-story condos.

“When we bought our house, the area was zoned R1. It’s now going to (be) R5,” Noblesville resident Russ French said. “I would not have bought that house if there were four-story condos across the street.

The view from the top of the (proposed) condo looks right into my front door.”

Deb Polise, a Hamilton County Realtor, said the city’s first obligation should be to current residents, not to people who might move to Noblesville.

“The people who call this part of Hamilton County home have lived here for years and have invested in this community,” said Polise, who works for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Indiana Realty.

“The proposed development would not add amenities, but it would destroy them. The displacement of wildlife (would) be permanent, not temporary.”

According to an announcement from Special Olympics Indiana, Simpson won the overall gold medal for the Special Olympics 205-pound division, clearing weights of 127.5 kg in the squat, 97.5kg in bench and 107.5kg in deadlift for a 332.5 total. His squat and bench efforts also earned gold.

Westfield senior linebacker’s improvement key to team’s success

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School senior linebacker Keegan Krupp’s strengths kept growing though his high school football career.

“Keegan is a textbook example for what it looks like to buy into our program’s ‘outwork, outlove’ culture,” Shamrocks coach Josh Miracle said. “Since Keegan’s freshman year, his dedication in the weight room, on-field preparation and consistent practice habits have helped him become one of our team’s most productive players. Keegan was an excellent special teams player as a junior, but this season he took on a larger role defensively, becoming our team’s leading tackler. Keegan really improved defending the run this season and was a huge part of a defense that gave up 14 points per game.”

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Krupp led the Shamrocks (12-2) with 105 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss, one interception and one fumble recovery. He was named to the all-Hoosier Crossroads Conference first team. Westfield reached the Class 6A state championship game Nov.

KEEGAN KRUPP

Favorite athlete: J.J. Watt Favorite TV show: “The Office” Favorite vacation spot: Chicago Favorite subject: Biology 29, losing to Brownsburg 22-17 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Krupp started playing special teams his junior year but moved into a starting role in the second half of the season.

He said he made the most improvement with his overall physicality and his eye for the game.

“Everything seemed to slow down for me and I was understanding everything,”

Westfield High School senior linebacker Keegan Krupp led the team in tackles. (Photo courtesy of Keegan Krupp)

he said. “When I was watching film, I could tell what every team was doing. My entire mentality from my junior year to senior year was to make this the best year I

have.”

Krupp moved from an outside linebacker spot to an inside spot as a senior.

“Everything has been going up — my muscles, speed and agility,” Krupp said.

Although Krupp said the team didn’t accomplish its ultimate goal of winning the state title, he is proud of what the Shamrocks accomplished.

“Going through the program is like nothing I’ve gone through,” he said. “The bonds and culture of the entire Westfield program not only shapes you as a football player but shapes you as a man.”

Krupp, who moved from Carmel to Westfield in seventh grade, played linebacker and running back until his freshman year before focusing on linebacker.

“It’s a big dream to go on and keep playing at the collegiate level,” he said.

Krupp has football offers from NCAA Division III and II schools. He also has received interest from Football Championship Subdivision programs Indiana State University and Lindenwood University.

Indy SewaDiwali, a local group of Dharmic volunteers, is working to provide central Indiana families DONATIONS and organizations with essential resources during the holiday season and throughout the year.

In Indian religions, Dharma is a religious and moral law that governs conduct. Indy SewaDiwali is part of a national initiative of Dharmic individuals, communities and organizations who believe in “selfless giving for the welfare of society.”

Noblesville resident Pooja Thakkar, a member of Indy SewaDiwali and Hamilton County Leadership Academy, said the group is in its sixth year. Diwali, an Indian festival of lights celebrated with friends and family, inspired the group to extend the festivities to the community by helping those in need.

“As a group, we came together and discussed doing our part in the community to bring people together and, at the same time, collecting nonperishable food items

and giving back to those who are in need,” Thakkar said. “We started reaching out to local food pantries and shelters to see where we could take items during the holidays. But we slowly realized the need for food is not just limited to the holiday time.”

In 2024, the group donated more than 800 pounds of food to organizations such as Fueled for School in Noblesville and Family Promise of Hamilton County.

Another initiative the group is participating in is helping refugee families as they prepare for their first winter in Indiana.

They are doing so through the Indianapolis nonprofit Welcome Baskets.

Jason Shonkwiler named School Resource Officer of the Year for Noblesville Schools

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Police Department Sgt. Jason Shonkwiler has been named the Noblesville Schools School Resource Officer of the Year.

Shonkwiler has been an SRO for Noblesville High School since the 2019-20 school year. He said he was humbled by the honor.

“We have a team of 12 SROs at Noblesville Schools,” Shonkwiler said. “Each officer is doing amazing things in their Shonkwiler schools. I know there are members of my team (who) are doing a better job than I am.”

Marnie Cooke, executive director of marketing and communications for Noblesville Schools, said Noblesville Schools honors an Employee of the Year from each of the district’s employee groups. They are nominated by their peers and selected by an HR committee.

Although he enjoys his role in the school district, he said it was not his plan to become an SRO. “I honestly got tricked into it,” Shonkwiler said. “I was working the night shift, which I loved, and I got a call from the captain in charge of the SROs. He asked if I was interested in the schools, and I told him that at the time I wasn’t really interested. But if I did work at a school, it would have to be high school level.”

Shonkwiler said for the first few months, he liked the job, but didn’t “love it yet.”

“It wasn’t the police work that I wanted to do, but it grew on me,” he said.

Shonkwiler, 44, grew up in Noblesville and has been with the NPD for 10 years. Prior to becoming a police officer, he served in the U.S. Army from 2003 to 2008, completing combat tours in Iraq. After leaving the military, he worked in distribution and fulfillment with Target and Amazon.

“I moved up a number of times within Amazon and Target, where I worked on process improvement and facilities management,” Shonkwiler said. “It wasn’t what I wanted, so I took, at the time, a $60,000 pay cut to be an officer. It was one of the best decisions in my life.”

Each day as an SRO is different, according to Shonkwiler. He said 95 percent of the job involves mentoring and informal teaching.

“That percent of my day is spent assisting the student services team at the high school,” Shonkwiler said. “I mentor students, help with discipline, assist our social workers and work to be a presence in the hallways throughout the day. The other 5 percent is actual police and security work.”

Shonkwiler said the main difference between working

said. “You hear in the news about districts and states that have suggested armed security or armed teachers are the answer, and I think they are missing what SROs are capable of. The National Association of School Resource Officers looks for carefully selected, specifically trained and properly equipped law enforcement officers with sworn authority. I am proud to say that Noblesville is doing it right and we are continually improving.”

in the school and road patrol is the impact he can make.

“In patrol, you may get 15 minutes to try and help while you are on-scene, and then it is on to the next call,” Shonkwiler said. “At school, I get a chance to work with a kid for four years or longer. The kids know what they are going to get from me is honesty without the sugar coating. If they are making great decisions, I will celebrate with them, and if they are making dumb decisions, I’ll tell them.”

Although he finds each day rewarding, he said the job has challenges.

“The hardest thing about the job of an SRO is that you see the (staff) at the schools working extremely hard to give the kids the best,” Shonkwiler said. “It is difficult to see kids with great potential waste it on bad decisions or lack of follow through.”

Shonkwiler said the job has good times, too. He has many memorable moments as an SRO, such as waking up to students in his home.

“I had a group of seniors, with the help of my wife, break into my house for a ‘sleepover’ last year,” Shonkwiler said. “The kids were let in early in the morning, so when I went to make coffee, 20 of my favorite people were having a ‘sleepover’ in my living room.”

Cooke said Shonkwiler is a “great” example of SROs doing more than simply keeping Noblesville Schools safe.

“He is an important mentor and role model to all the students in his building,” Cooke said. “I think it says a lot when teenagers get up early for a ‘sleepover’ at their SRO’s house or get excited when they see their SRO out in public. You have to earn that kind of adoration and respect from teens, and ‘Shonk’ has certainly done that.”

Shonkwiler said he appreciates the teamwork between the NPD and Noblesville Schools.

“We have a model program in Noblesville,” Shonkwiler

Noblesville High School SRO Jason Shonkwiler, a sergeant with the Noblesville Police Department, said one of his most memorable moments as an SRO was having T-shirts made in his honor by the school’s special needs department.

The T-shirts are sold through The Gold Mine, a shop run by applied skills students.

“This (initiative) has raised a couple of thousand dollars (for applied skills programming),” Shonkwiler said. “It teaches them job skills they can use after leaving NHS.” The shirts are emblazoned with a pair of aviator sunglasses, a mustache and one of Shonkwiler’s sayings, “Make good choices.” He takes no credit for the idea, and said it was the work of Bridget Lueken, a special education teacher at Noblesville High School.

“Her team and the students in the special needs department ordered and sold these shirts at the beginning of the year,” he said. “They sold out in an hour and had to move to online ordering.”

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra guest conductor Vladimir Kulenovic has a special connection to Vienna MUSIC holiday concerts, such as the ones the CSO will perform this month with the Indiana Ballet Conservatory.

“I grew up on the Danube River myself.

It wasn’t in Vienna,” he said. “I grew up in Yugoslavia and we had a place in Belgrade, a country house on the Danube (River). It’s nice for me, particularly, because it’s like coming back home. People here in Carmel are so wonderful, it feels like home. It’s nice for me to bring a piece of my home with the Danube.”

The holiday shows will feature waltzes and polkas, including “The Blue Danube” waltz by Johann Strauss. There will be two Dec. 15 holiday concerts. They are “Family Pops: A Viennese Christmas” at 2 p.m., followed by “A Holiday in Vienna” at 7 p.m. at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Both shows are sponsored by IU Health North.

“It’s a very elegant program for the holidays,” Kulenovic said. “The beautiful thing about it is that the afternoon performance is family oriented, so it’s surrounded by activities outside of the concert in the lobby. It’s cold, so you can have some warm drinks. The Christkindlmarkt will be going on.”

The program will include dancers from the Indiana Ballet Conservatory, performing select pieces from “The Nutcracker.”

“Waltzes are nice and graceful, and polkas are fast and exciting,” Kulenovic said.

CSO Executive Director Anne Marie Chastain said Kulenovic is an exciting conductor.

“Vladimir is an extremely expressive

conductor who brings a lot of fun and flair to the podium,” Chastain said. “We are excited to work with him twice this holiday season.”

This is Kulenovic’s third time conducting with CSO. He has conducted the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra several times, the first time in 2015.

Kulenovic, who splits his time between Chicago and San Diego, made his CSO debut in a July 4 concert and returned to join the orchestra Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 during the Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s performance of “The Nutcracker.”

“We’ll have performances by local musical groups in the lobby before both shows, as well as special holiday drinks for the grownups,” Chastain said. “Santa will stop by the 2 p.m. show and be available in the lobby for pictures, and Saint Nicholas will visit us at the (evening) show. Carmel Ballroom Dance Studio is sending dancers who will be accompanying the orchestra during the show and also teaching waltz lessons in the lobby before the 7 p.m. show.”

Chastain said the concerts will conclude with “Radetzky March” by Strauss.

“Hands down, my favorite part of the concert will be the sing-along, especially with the song ‘Edelweiss,’ a classic from ’The Sound of Music,’” Chastain said. “‘Edelweiss’ is such a sweet piece.

I feel like Carmel has a very special personality and this song captures a feeling of love for this very special community which so many of us share.”

‘An En Pointe Christmas’ set

By Les Morris editorial@youarecurrent.com With more than 100 dancers and 25 dance numbers, there is sure to be plenty of movement during En Pointe Indiana Ballet’s annual ChristPERFORMANCE mas show.

The movement won’t be confined to the stage, as the entire production of “An En Pointe Christmas” is relocating this season to Anderson University’s Reardon Auditorium. Previous En Pointe holiday shows were held at Noblesville High School. Reardon offers more seating with a capacity of more than 1,600; a larger stage to accommodate the big cast; and is available for a window of consecutive days in advance of the two performances Dec. 13-14.

The artistic directors for the show are Pollyana Ribeiro and Robert Moore.

Act 1 will be devoted to classics, including works by Bach, Handel and Tchaikovsky. The dancers will transition from traditional white dress in the first act to a livelier red sequin outfit for the second act, which will include contemporary, jazz

and hip-hop numbers.

One of the performance’s highlights is the nine-minute finale, which involves every person in the cast accompanied by the celebrated sound of the Boston Pops.

“It’s a great way to end the night,” said Anne Moore, co-owner of Noblesville-based En Pointe Ballet. “It’s one of my favorites and I know a lot of people look forward to that every year.”

The show lasts approximately two hours, with a 30-minute intermission. Performances are at 7 p.m. Dec. 13 and 2 p.m.

Dec. 14. Tickets range from $10 to $25. For more, visit enpointe.yapsody.com.

Meijer donates to nonprofit

Barriers to care are not always obvious.

Thanks in part to community partners, volunteers and donors, these barriers are being overcome. Learn more or join the movement at EskenaziHealthFoundation.org.

Employees at the Noblesville Meijer store at 17000 Mercantile Blvd. recently presented a $10,000 check to CHARITY the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville through its Meijer Team Gives program.

Through the program, which was founded in 2021, Meijer team members at stores across the Midwest choose a local nonprofit to receive a monetary donation of up to $10,000. This year, Noblesville Meijer employees chose the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville to receive the full donation.

Chad Clark, director of the Noblesville Meijer, said the store has worked with the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville multiple times and the organization continued to come up in discussions regarding how much it does for community youth.

“Team members at each location work together to identify local nonprofits that are meaningful to them,” Clark said. “This time of year is exciting for us. Our team is excited to be involved in this.”

blesville work together on the nonprofit’s annual Stuff Da Bus event, which took place Nov. 27. Members purchased items at Meijer after the community and sponsors made monetary donations.

Noblesville Township Trustee Theresa Caldwell said the Noblesville Township Trustees office receives all the items after the kids have completed fundraising and shopping.

“We are always grateful to be the recipient of all the items,” Caldwell said.

“The items fill our food pantry and are passed out to the residents of Noblesville Township.”

Morse Village will be a ‘black mark’ on city leaders

LEARN TO MAKE SAUSAGE

Editor, Morse Village will be a black mark on Mayor Chris Jensen, the Noblesville Common Council and the Noblesville Plan Commission.

This development will destroy precious wetlands and add runoff to Morse Reservoir. While efforts are planned to protect the eagles, they will leave because of the noise from construction and their hunting grounds being disturbed.

It is interesting to see the difference between proposed condos and townhomes shown at the plan commission meeting in November and what is on the LOR Corp. and Morse Village websites. These buildings went from modest two-story structures to four- to five-story level structures, much like what is seen in downtown Noblesville.

One must ask if all the current multistory structures are at 100 percent capacity.

If not, these structures are a waste of natural resources. It is clear to me that these structures on the lake will become invest-

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern kitchen makeover in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene Our Woodland Springs clients completely reinvented their kitchen — and they weren’t afraid to start from scratch! Our team reimagined the space, expanding the kitchen’s footprint and maximizing storage with custom cabinetry and clever design solutions.

The result? A balance of form and function. From builder-basic to beautifully bespoke, this kitchen combines modern style and practicality in perfect harmony.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • Taking space from an underutilized dining room allowed us to reimage the layout for improved function and flow.

• Soapstone countertops offer durability and beauty, perfectly complementing the natural oak cabinetry.

• White upper cabinets and an expanded window above the sink enhance the room’s bright, airy feel.

• Handcrafted subway tiles and recycled glass pendant lights add texture and visual interest, completing the look with a touch of character.
