Construction firms struggle to find enough workers despite many career benefits Editor’s note: This story is the result of months of research and interviews conducted through a Hamilton County Leadership Academy group project. Some of the information and quotes are taken from a JoyPowered Workspace Podcast, which also was part of the project. Listen to the podcast at joypowered.podbean.com/e/ careers-without-college/. By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com You don’t have to look far to see that construction is booming in Hamilton County. From Midtown in Carmel DEVELOPMENT to The Yard in Fishers to neighborhoods popping up throughout Westfield, new buildings and developments quickly are changing the landscape. Although economic conditions are ripe for growth, they’re creating difficulties for many construction companies, which are struggling to find and retain enough workers to keep up with demand. And in places like Hamilton County, experts say a long-held mindset that four years in college naturally follows high school keeps many young people from even considering a job in the trades, which include careers that can be just as lucrative as some that require a degree — without all the student loan debt. “It’s really about a lack of education and understanding what the options and possibilities are, and sometimes there are stigmas associated with that, especially in a highly educated community Stephan with lots of professionals and people who went to college,” said Melinda Stephan, a college and career counselor at Carmel High School. “I think sometimes people don’t know what the options are, and what you don’t know can be kind of scary sometimes.” Meanwhile, construction costs and timelines continue to expand as the industry deals with the labor shortage. According to the Associated General Contractors of America, 72 percent of contractors in Indiana are having trouble finding skilled trade workers and 83 percent said they need to hire more workers because business is booming. ‘The gap continues to widen’ For David Decker, attending college was the “next expected step in growing into an adult”

after high school. He did well at first, but after struggling to find ways to apply what he was learning, he dropped out and started his own business. Now, the Fishers resident is the founder and CEO of ACo, a full-service kitchen, bath and flooring dealer in Carmel. He’s troubled by the statistic that 60 percent of students who enroll in four-year college programs don’t graduate within six years, and he’s doing something about it.
“There’s this real stigma around the industry. The kids don’t realize those opportunities are there.” — David Decker Decker is launching Hub & Spoke, a design center that will include a makerspace, warehouse, co-working and retailers. One of it’s main goals, however, is to educate students — and the community at-large — about the variety of jobs available in homebuilding and design industries and provide a place for them to explore related careers in a hands-on environment. The 86,000-square-foot center is set to open in February 2020 along the proposed Nickel Plate Trail in Fishers. “Almost half of the workforce in the skilled trades is over 45 years old, so they’re nearing retirement and there’s not really a big push for new kids to come in. You can see the gap just continues to widen,” Decker said. “There’s this real stigma around the industry. The kids don’t realize those opportunities are there.” Carmel-based Mattingly Concrete owner Will Mattingly, who didn’t attend college, said his business, like so many others, has struggled to attract young workers because they often don’t realize the immediate earning potential in the field. He’s started offering scholarships to students interested in studying construction who come work for the company in the summer. “The hope is to open the eyes of some of these young people to show them maybe
they can make a good living and live in a nice neighborhood and have the white picket fence and everything doing a trade,” said Mattingly, a Carmel resident. Open to opportunities As the construction industry does what it can to promote the benefits of a career in the trades to young workers, several high schools in Hamilton County also are trying to get the message out. At Westfield High School, students interested in construction have the opportunity to build a house inside the school each semester. In Noblesville, the district’s expansive internship program includes partnerships with several construction companies to give interested students a taste of those careers. At CHS, Stephan said she tries to get students to evaluate their interests and strengths before they make a decision about what to do after graduation. Once they better understand who they are, she can help guide them through options after high school, whether that includes a career in construction or not. “As they start to figure out what they’re good at and what they want to do, that’s where the conversation about college or not (going to) college comes in,” she said. Noblesville resident Chuck Haberman, leader of workforce development at Gaylor Electric, said that only 15 to 20 percent of the more than 1,200 employees at his company have a four-year college degree. He said it’s a “big Haberman misconception” that working in construction is a fallback if other plans don’t work out. Gaylor is always seeking new workers and provides training and support to help them reach their career goals. “In the end, anybody can do it if they’re willing to take the time to learn it and put in the effort to really master the craft,” he said. “It can be really rewarding for a very long time.” HCLA group project members are Ann Marie Shambaugh, Carla Hill, Peggy Hogan, Justin Furr, Gary Sexton and Rachel Sorvig.

Inaugural Grand Summer Kickoff set for May 24
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com An inaugural event to celebrate the last day of school is being conducted by the City of Westfield and will benefit the Westfield Education Foundation. THINGS TO DO The Grand Summer Kickoff will be from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. May 24 at Grand Park.

Councilors-elect excited for Westfield’s future
By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com
With five new members slated to join the Westfield City Council next year, some residents are concerned ELECTION growth may come to a standstill, but at-large councilor-elect Troy Patton said that won’t be the case. “I don’t think people are against the growth. We are still going to grow,” Patton said. “But I think the voters … want their city government officials to be accountable for the dollars they are using. We want to change the culture of politics in Westfield because the current culture is broken.” Patton said he hopes to bring more of a business approach to the council. “I look forward to working with (Mayor) Andy (Cook), I have nothing against Andy Cook. I think he needs to have better business minds around him,” Patton said. Patton won one of two at-large seats,
beating incumbent Jim Ake. Incumbent Cindy Spoljaric retained her seat. Mike Johns, council-elect for District 5, won the primary with 39.82 percent of the vote. Johns said he is optimistic about Westfield’s future. “The mayor has pretty much done what he’s wanted to without any real critical thinking on the part of the council,” Johns said. “I think you’ve (now) got a group of more conservative spenders and more critical thinkers.” In other races, Scott Frei beat incumbent Chuck Lehman in District 4 with 67.88 percent of the vote. Jake Gilbert won with 60.26 percent of the vote in District 2. Clerk-Treasurer Cindy Gossard retained her office with 57.25 percent of the vote. Scott Willis was unopposed in District 1. As of press time, no Democratic candidates have filed to run in the general election. The deadline for a Democratic candidate to file is June 30.

City to improve, extend Jersey Street in downtown Westfield By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com To the dismay of some residents, early renderings of Jersey Street improvements framing the northern border of the Grand Junction Park and Plaza COVER STORY showed proposed businesses replacing existing homes on Jersey Street between Poplar and Mill streets. City officials, however, said that is not the case. They said the renderings are merely conceptualizations of what the area could potentially look like. The only property to be altered because of Grand Junction Park and Plaza construction is the cityowned building on the corner of Union and Jersey streets, which used to house the Westfield Washington Historical Society. Improvements also are proposed for Jersey Street between Mill and Union streets, and an extension is expected from Union Street to East Street. The projects are funded separately. Funding for improvements to Jersey Street between Mill and Union streets is included in the $35 million bond for the recently approved Grand Junction Park and Plaza. Road construction near the plaza is estimated to cost $886,639. Construction is expected to begin this summer. Jersey Street will be closed from Mill to Union streets during construction. When the projects are finished, the city will have the ability to close off that portion of Jersey Street to vehicular traffic during events or festivals. “It was designed and will be constructed to be an expansion of the plaza itself, so when we have events like the farmers market, the mayor’s ball, food truck events, it will close in that portion between Mill and Union and open up to pedestrian Lollar traffic,” Director of Public Works Jeremy Lollar said. When complete, Jersey Street will remain one lane in each direction. Construction for the park and the Jersey Street improvements are anticipated to be complete by 2021. Construction to extend Jersey Street from Union Street to East Street will begin shortly thereafter.

“The extension from Union to East Street does not exist currently. It is a portion of the State Road 32 project, but it is a locally funded portion,” Lollar said. “So, they have those two construction projects working together, planned together, but the Jersey piece is not part of the State Road 32 funding strategy.” The Jersey Road expansion is estimated to cost $1.4 million. Lollar expects the expansion to be one lane in each direction with turn lanes, although it is still early in the planning process. “It’s to create better access through
downtown. It’ll also create a better economic corridor through there,” Lollar said. “So, the East Street roundabout as part of the State Road 32 project, this will tie into that so there’s a southern leg.” The extension will allow for business development frontage on Jersey Street and Ind. 32. Although there are no proposals, city officials said they expect development to feature retail and office space on the first floor with multi-family residential options on the second floor.
Andy Warner and his wife, Kim, have a home on Jersey Street between Poplar and Mill streets. When they moved in, they said the home was quaint with an almost country-living feel. With Ind. 32 traffic and increased business development nearby, that’s no longer the case. The Warners said they expect traffic along Jersey Street in front of their home to further increase when Ind. 32 construction begins as drivers try to avoid the hassle, even though Ind. 32 isn’t expected to close completely during construction. “We moved here because there were houses in the front and my yard is one of the biggest yards on this road. It was kind of country-ish,” Andy said. “Now, they opened (the northern residences) up and tore those houses down five years ago, so now we hear and see (Ind.) 32 (traffic).” Kim moved to Westfield from Indianapolis. She said traffic is worse in Westfield than in Indianapolis. “I wanted that little hometown feel. It was quiet. I feel I live more in the city with the traffic now than I did when I lived in downtown Indianapolis,” she said. “This is becoming more of a metropolitan business-type area,” Andy said. “That’s what it’s going to be. It’s doing away with the small-town feel, which is kind of depressing. A lot of people like us moved here for that feel, and it is going away, and it’s just growth. I don’t think there’s anything anybody can do about it.”

ESSAY Unchartered territory
LETTER Boys and girls are different
Commentary by Terry Anker
Editor, Am I the only one that finds it sad, instead of inspiring, that the Boy Scouts now have girls in the Scouts? So now the girls get to choose which organization they want to join, and they get the advantage of the boys supplies and gear. What seems to be undecided is if the BSA will make special rules so that girls can earn their badges a little faster than the boys in the past, which sounds absolutely ridiculous. It seems as though we have reached this time of insanity where no one will say to their son or daughter, “No, you are a girl, you are not doing that,” or, “No, you are a boy, you are not doing that.” I don’t know when we started teaching children that boys and girls don’t have any differences and that everyone should be able to do what everyone else is doing. There are reasons for separating genders and boys and girls shouldn’t have all of the same choices, all of the time. The Girl Scouts is a wonderful organization, and I hope that they hold fast to their original doctrine instead of allowing others to force a change. We all need to thank God that he made us the way he did, or none of us would be here today. K. Carrie Edwards, Westfield
From 1791 until 1992, the United States Congress officially recognized a handful of organizations to profit from the official imprimatur of our federal authorities as being legitimate and sanctioned. While the central government does not oversee operations directly, the granting of a congressional charter serves to distinguish these few from the other reported 1,500,000 registered nonprofits operating in our nation. The list is populated with allfamiliar names, including the National Park Foundation, Federal Reserve Bank, National Academy of the Sciences, American Red Cross and youth-serving organizations like Girl Scouts, FFA and Boy Scouts. While the designation is considered largely honorific, each remains endorsed by our national legislative body as unique, in the public interest and supporting appropriate and beneficial activities. For many generations, these institutions had withstood the test of time and proven themselves worthy of broad support. But today these organizations are fighting on a new front. Schools and other government units have, in many cases, reduced these to the lowest common denominator. Scouts compete with every other group that demands attention from school children because the administrators fear those imagining grievance will initiate litigation if equal access is withheld. The harm of this misguided egalitarian impulse is born entirely by our children. Some schools have restricted or eliminated access at the precise time when the youngsters need the support. And all at no cost to the taxpayer. Do congressional charters matter? For our kids, they should. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Bracing for a home invasion Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s May, people, and you know what that means. No, not the race. I’m talking about the life-altering phenomenon that occurs when college kids return home. HUMOR My wonderfully quiet house and relatively full fridge are about to take a beating. We’ve actually already had “the talk.” You know, the one that makes parents sound like Old Man Get-Off-My-Lawn Wilson. “So long as you are under my roof … blah, blah, blah.” Curfews, chores, driveway spot — basic family responsibilities and expectations. But even assuming he abides by all of the rules, his mere presence, while enjoyable in small doses, changes the dynamics of our humble abode. For starters, our younger three kids have adapted to his absence and delight in not having an A-type firstborn steamroll over their ideas and opinions. There is one less sibling in competition for our affection, and
one less human hogging precious bathroom time. One less of everything, really, and when that loud-talking, personal spacechallenged, bratty older brother gets back, one less quickly becomes one more. Particularly in the “One More Mouth to Feed” category. While hitting Meijer in anticipation of the ensuing food shortage, I saw several other moms filling carts with Pop Tarts, Cheeze-Its and various other “luxury goods” that our coeds cannot afford. It’s like a plague of locusts has arrived for the summer and no kitchen is safe from its destructive gastronomical path. How will we survive this temporary home invasion? I’m not sure. And it’s only May. Stupid May. Peace out.

A tall tale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I went to my doctor after an episode of lightheadedness. During an MRI, I had a flashback to high school trigoHUMOR nometry class where I also stared at a blank ceiling, listening to strange, indecipherable sounds. At the hospital they give you a buzzer to press if the experience becomes unbearable, a courtesy never extended by my freshman math teacher. After they examined my brain scan, a nurse called to report they didn’t find anything. Obviously, this was good news, but did the test results have to be phrased quite that way? On my license, my passport and all medical questionnaires, I always listed myself as 5-foot-10 — not as tall as my dad (a strapping 6-footer) but taller than my mom, a petite 5-3. I knew I was 5-9 1/2, but I always rounded it up. I mean, who was I hurting? In the follow-up appointment, the nurse measured my vitals. “Blood pressure 123 over 80, height 5-8, weight 165. Now, please step over here and …” “Whoa! How tall did you say I was?” “That would be 5 feet, 8 inches — in your socks, which adds a little.” “Look, first of all, I’m 5-10, maybe 5-9 1/2, and second, these are nylon dress socks, and very thin.” “Whatever you say, Mr. Wolfsie. Please grab one of the blue robes off that hook on the door ... if you can reach it.” When I got home, I asked my wife how tall she thought I was. “Well, I’m 5-7, so I’d say you are 5-8. And you’re still as adorable as can be.” “But when we got married, I told you I was 5-10. “I figured you rounded it up from 5-7.” That’s the end of the story. No illness, but I’m either a pathological liar (misrepresenting my height for 50 years) and need some psychological counseling — or I am (and this is tough to admit) shrinking. I haven’t decided which one it is. I guess it’s going to depend on which one is covered by my medical insurance.

Performing arts center announces schedule By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Chances are you are going to find something that appeals to you about the Center for the Performing EVENTS Arts’ 2019-20 season at the Palladium. From Johnny Mathis to Gladys Knight to Steve Martin and Martin Short to Lyle Lovett to the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, the schedule covers many different genres. Great American Songbook Hall of Famer Mathis, known for his songs such as “Chances Are” and “Misty,” will be a romantic treat for fans on Halloween night. He last appeared at the Palladium in June 2013. Martin and Short are a comedy treat early in the season with a Sept. 26 performance. “I was a board member before I became president. I think I can honestly say this is our best season yet,” Center for the Performing Arts CEO/President Jeff McDermott said. “There is as much, if not more, name recognition from (previous seasons). We have some of the wellknown artist as well as vision artists that we brought in. Some of our jazz and classical performers people might not know as well, but I think they are going to be wowed. I’m just excited by the balance of the whole season. “The ones we are really considering the headliners are Steve Martin and Martin Short. It’s the first show after our gala, which really kicks off our season, but obviously there are several that are headline-quality artists.” The Center’s Annual Gala and Songbook Celebration, set for Sept. 21, will feature a performance by 2016 Songbook Hall of Fame inductee Dionne Warwick. Paul Williams and Duke Ellington will be inducted into the Songbook Hall of Fame. McDermott said the Songbook Series is particularly exciting with appearances by Mathis, Rita Moreno and Ben Vereen. Along with acts such as Knight, Mary Chapin Carpenter, The Righteous Brothers, the pop/rock series features violinist Damien Escobar Nov. 21.
Johnny Mathis will make a Halloween Night appearance at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)
Two country acts, Lovett and Trish Yearwood, are scheduled so far. McDermott said he expects more. “Country acts tend to announce two or three months before they go on tour, so it’s hard to book a country artist six or eight months out,” McDermott said. “If we get the right country artist, it might be the right fit for our Encore Series.” The Encore Series are acts that will only be sold separately after the performers have been scheduled. “These will probably be artists we can book the second half of the year with great name recognition,” McDermott said. “We know we end each year with a bang.” For instance, Amy Grant and Tony Bennett appeared earlier this month but the concerts were added later. Subscribers to Classical, Songbook, Jazz and Create Your Own Series (four or more) will have first opportunity at purchasing tickets for any concerts listed in the Encore Series. Among the other special events will be “Napoleon Dynamite: A Conversation with Jon Heder & Efren Ramirez” Dec 5. Monty Python’s John Cleese’s appearance Nov. 14 will be another special event, McDermott said. For subscriber and ticket information, visit the thecenterpresents.org.

Carmel resident Ethan Gold is in the title role of Cipollino, who fights the unjust treatment. “He leads the protest against the tax,” Gold said. “They take Cipollino’s father, and Cipollino and Radish try to save him.” Carmel High School freshman Maren Goddard, 15, plays Magnolia, the lead flower. “It’s a challenging ballet because the choreography is so unique,” Goddard said. Amelia Happel, 16, plays Radish.

“Radish is a fun role. A lot of the dances are contemporary-based, and we get sad,” Happel said. “But this one is super happy. The choreography is so different. I’m excited to smile, have fun and act on stage.” Ian Anderson-Conlon, 17, in his first year at IBC, performs as General Tomato. “It’s more challenging and it’s a different role than I’ve ever done,” Anderson-Conlon said. “I’m more like a bad person who is under the rule of Prince Lemon. I do what I’m told and watch the villagers. The acting I feel has been more of a challenge than dancing because it’s a different kind of acting.” For more, visit indianaballetconservatory. org.

Prodigy Burger and Bar
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14490 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel What to get: The G.O.A.T Price: $14 Anna’s take: Personally, I think $14 is a bit high for a cheeseburger, but Prodigy Burger and Bar’s burgers are a full halfpound, so I thought I would give The G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) a try. The burger is one of Prodigy’s signature blend patties topped with four slices of

smoked bacon, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and special sauce. It’s all served on a sesame seed bun (which tastes way better than a normal bun, in my opinion) and served with a side of thick-cut fries, which are pretty extraordinary. The G.O.A.T is a good option for someone who’s really hungry and also just wants a traditional burger with some special touches. Suggested pairings: I visited Prodigy for lunch during a work meeting, so no booze. But the bar does have an excellent list of craft beers on tap that would pair well with a burger.

Awareness of RAS Syndrome Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I have some urgent news: There’s an epidemic sweeping the nation. So far, scientists haven’t GRAMMAR GUY found a cure, but I’m happy to report that it’s preventable. It leaves people looking foolish in front of other people they’re trying to impress at parties and can, in rare cases, cause a breakup of a romantic relationship. I’m talking about RAS Syndrome. RAS Syndrome stands for Redundant Acronym Syndrome ... Syndrome. While everyone knows that saying “ATM machine” is redundant, have you ever talked to someone about forgetting your “PIN number” every time you’re at the ATM? PIN already stands for Personal Identification Number, so saying “PIN number” is redundant. You don’t want to look like a doofus in front of your financial planner! He’ll remove you from his preferred-monocle client list faster than you can say IRA account. Although I’m sure you mean to be polite, writing “please RSVP” on an invitation is technically redundant — RSVP is an abbreviation for the French expression
répondez s’il vous plaît, which means “please respond.” Saying “please RSVP” is the same as saying “please, please respond.” After all, you don’t want to sound desperate to get people to your fancy roof party. I’m not sure if an entire sports team can contract RAS Syndrome, but, if it did, it would be the “LA Angels.” When translated into English, Los Angeles means “The Angels.” So, technically, “the LA Angels” is the same as saying “the The Angels Angels.” Now, for the lightning round. If you utter any of the following phrases, you’ve caught the RAS Syndrome: ISBN number, UPC code, HIV virus, GOP party, SAT test, PAC committee, Gob Bluth, NPR radio, CSS sheet and OPEC countries. By preventing RAS Syndrome in your speech and correspondence, you’ll avoid looking dumb in social, business and romantic situations. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer. Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com.

Tomb of Bhaktivedanta Swami in Vrindavan, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Remembering Hare Krishna Commentary by Don Knebel Vrindavan, India, said to have been where Krishna, a revered Hindu deity, spent his childhood, contains many temTRAVEL ples in his honor. One temple also remembers a modern spiritual leader who founded a religious movement as well-known in the United States as it is in India. In 1965, 69-year-old Bhaktivedanta Swami, born Abhay Charan De, arrived in New York from India with $7 and a mission — teach people in the West to live in harmony by dedicating themselves to Krishna, who he believed was the highest form of God and the ultimate source of goodness. In 1966, he founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (“ISKCON”) in New York to promote his beliefs, which soon found their way to San Francisco, where they immediately gained a following among members of the city’s counterculture. Travelers soon encountered Krishna devotees in American airports, dressed in saffron robes and chanting “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare,” which they believed connected them with the divine.
The movement gained worldwide attention when The Beatles’ George Harrison became a Krishna follower and included the Hare Krishna chant in some of his songs. Followers supported themselves and ISKSON’s mission by selling the 40 books written by Bhaktivedanta Swami, including a translation of the Bhagavad Gita he considered among the keys to spiritual understanding. Bhaktivedanta Swami traveled around the world a reported 14 times promoting his beliefs and opening temples. One of the earliest and most important ISKCON temples is in Vrindavan, displaying magnificent paintings of Krishna as a boy. Bhaktivedanta Swami, who returned to India in 1971, died in his office in the Vrindavan temple on Nov. 14, 1977, surrounded by chanting admirers. His white marble tomb, just outside the temple and featuring a larger-than-life golden effigy, is visited every day by Krishna devotees from around the world. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.
DISPATCH Unshrink your wool sweater – Hair conditioner can soften and loosen knit fibers, which allows them to return to their original size when you have a sweater that has shrunk. Mix 1/3 cup of hair conditioner in a sink full of warm water. Submerge the sweater into the conditioned water, and let it soak for about 10 minutes. Shake off as much water as possible (don’t wring!), and then lay the sweater flat on a towel. While it’s still wet, reshape it as close as possible to its original size by holding each side and gently pulling the sweater to make it larger. Pull it evenly, both sides at the same time, all around the sweater. Let the sweater dry flat. Source: Bottom Line Inc.
