Noblesville receives more than $1.5 million for bridge project
news@currentnoblesville.com
The City of Noblesville recently received a $1,599,999.20 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Reconnecting Communities Pilot Grant Program to begin planning to build a White River pedestrian bridge, increasing accessibility for residents in the surrounding neighborhood.
GRANT
Lexie Rock, City of Noblesville communications director, said the grant will enable the city to conduct design, engineering and planning initiatives to address a significant community disconnection along the White River historically caused by Ind. 32 and Ind. 19.
“The White River Pedestrian Bridge Project aims to enhance accessibility for residents living south of downtown and east of the White River by providing a safe, direct and efficient route across the White River,” Rock stated. “This bridge will connect residents to essential daily services like jobs, education, health care, food and recreation, and will significantly improve quality of life and promote social opportunities.”
The City of Noblesville submitted a grant application to USDOT for the White River Pedestrian Bridge Project requesting $1,602,249 with support from the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority, Applied Research Institute and MKSK consultants.
Michelle Dennis, director of proposal management with ARI, said ARI was “thrilled” to contribute to the project as part of its new initiative, Opportunity Indiana.
“Piloting this effort with the City of Noblesville and its partners by providing pro bono project management and grant
writing services — and securing a win — speaks both to ARI’s federal funding expertise and the important work being done by Noblesville,” Dennis stated. “We’re excited to help other Indiana communities in their grant pursuits.”
Sarah Reed, White River technical committee chair, said the project is an example of how CIRDA brings together ideas, support and resources in a capital collision to develop projects that deliver a regional impact.
“This is the first step in a process to secure federal investment that will help move the needle on the goal to foster accessible connections and recreational opportunities along the White River watershed,” Reed stated.
The grant application received letters of support from CIRDA, the Indianapolis Chamber, the Hamilton County Plan Commission, Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development, Hamilton County Tourism and Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen.
“The City of Noblesville is deeply committed to advancing thoughtful development and fostering comprehensive, vibrant communities,” Jensen stated. “By working with

Rock said the city and its consultants are advancing concepts as part of the ongoing West Gateway Master Plan process, and the pedestrian bridge project was a highly recommended improvement for access and connectivity, despite the high capital cost.
“The residents felt this would have a significant impact,” Rock stated. “The vision for this project is to create a ‘bridge’ physically and culturally across the White River to allow for a more cohesive, connected Noblesville.

Noblesville eyes professional sports and convention development area approval
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Indiana has six professional sports and convention development areas authorized under state statute, and Noblesville wants to establish one, too.
CITY NEWS
During its Jan. 28 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council approved a resolution to support the creation of a PSCDA for Innovation Mile, which is under development on approximately 600 acres adjacent to Ind. 69.
Noblesville Deputy Mayor Matt Light said the designation of a PSCDA, an area that would allow the city to collect new tax revenue generated by sports facilities, hotels and other commercial properties within the district to fund infrastructure improvements, would help move along development and financial strategies for the build out of Innovation Mile.
“We have been working in collaboration with Hamilton County Tourism, Hunden
Noblesville Common
Partners, Bose Public Affairs, Pacers Sports & Entertainment and legislative leaders to prepare the business and public policy case for a PSCDA designation on Noblesville’s east side,” Light said.
A PSCDA incentivizes communities to make investments that will generate new income for the state and community, according to Light.
“Revenue stream secured through a

PSCDA status would help the city utilize available resources for continued investment in the (Arena at Innovation Mile) and continued momentum in executing the Innovation Mile master plan,” Light said.
A recent economic impact analysis prepared by Hunden Partners, a real estate consultant, projects an overall $1.015 billion economic impact over the next 32 years for the state from Phase 1 of Innovation Mile,
including the Arena at Innovation Mile and current and planned hotels.
“Keeping $2 million annually of that overall impact within Noblesville to go toward the Arena at Innovation Mile debt service would mean that the state retains 94 percent of the sales tax and state income tax benefit of the developments,” Light said. “Our proposal also (will) include (local income tax) and (food and beverage taxes) for an overall annual allocation of $5 million.”
If approved by the General Assembly and the State Budget Agency, Light said PSCDA status would allow for a portion — up to a specified annual cap — of state sales tax and state income tax generated by professional sports venues, surrounding hotels and surrounding convention centers to be retained by the locality and used for capital improvement costs or debt service.
Light said the approval of the resolution reflects alignment between the mayor’s office and council. The next common council meeting will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 11.

County leaders discuss projects
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
During a Jan. 8 joint meeting of the Hamilton County Commissioners and Hamilton County Council, updates on a proposed domestic violence shelter and child care facility were discussed.
The next county council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 5. The next commissioners meeting is set for 1:45 p.m. Feb. 10. Both meetings are at 1 N. 8th St. in Noblesville.
What happened: The commissioners and council discussed how to move forward with plans for a domestic violence shelter on Ind. 38 near Hague Road for Hamilton County residents.
What it means: Designs for the project have been underway for several months. Previously, the $12,315,000 proposed project was planned to be a 24/7 facility in partnership with Prevail, a Noblesville nonprofit that specializes in working with adults, teens and children who have experienced trauma. However, Hamilton County Director of Administration Lee Buckingham said Prevail no longer wants the shelter to be a 24/7 facility, but rather an office building with four units that families can live in for up to two years.
Hamilton County Councilmember Amy Massillamany said she does not believe the project would be a long-term housing solution for domestic violence victims but sees it as an opportunity for families with immediate needs to get help and map their next steps.
What’s next: The commissioners approved for the project to move toward. Hamilton County Attorney Connor Sullivan said if the council votes to proceed, it can obtain a build-operate-transfer agreement — a contract between a private company and a public entity that outlines how a project will be designed, built and operated.
What happened: Hamilton County Chief Compliance Officer Steven Rushforth presented an update on the timeline for a Hamilton County child care facility for Riverview Health and county employees on Lakeview Drive in Noblesville.
What it means: Rushforth said Advancing Noblesville Chamber Foundation was awarded a conditions-based grant in collaboration with the county, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and Riverview Health for the project. There were eight focus areas in the grant opportunity, and a collaborative effort that focused on two specific areas — an off-site/near-site child care center and a tuition assistance portion. The grant amount is $749,600. Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman said the child care grant has an expenditure deadline of May 31, and given restrictions with the possible expenditure of funds, the county has only expended the grant for research to determine probable capital and operational costs for creating the child care center for employees. She said the building on Lakeview Drive would have room for 144 children, and based on surveys from Hamilton County and Riverview Health, consultants believe they can fill the facility.
DISPATCHES
What’s next: Altman said the council and commissioners are working to see how funds will be spent and the direction they want to take with the facility. Hamilton County Councilmember Ken Alexander said the project should go to the major project committee and come back to the council with a recommendation on the best way to proceed.
Death by Chocolate event — The Cherish Center, a nonprofit advocacy center serving Hamilton County, is bringing back its Death by Chocolate for the first time since 2019. Death by Chocolate will begin at 7 p.m. Feb. 13 at 12120 Brookshire Pkwy. in Carmel. It will feature multiple chocolatiers who will serve samples of chocolate items from cake pops to beer. Death by Chocolate is the Cherish Center’s primary annual fundraiser. Death by Chocolate will feature chocolate samples from Cake Me Happy, Cinnaholic Carmel, Greek’s Pizzeria Westfield, Sweet & Savory, Toast the Host, Treat Boutique, Upland Brewing Co. Carmel and more. Activities like tasting chocolate samples, raffle baskets, a wine pull, bourbon pull, golf simulators and a photo wall will also be available.
Noblesville resident turns 100
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Noblesville resident Bonnie Stinnett said although she recently turned 100 years old, she doesn’t feel any older.
CELEBRATION
A resident at Heritage Woods of Noblesville, an assisted living facility, Stinnett celebrated her 100th birthday Jan. 21 with a large party and a visit from Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen, who presented her with a certificate from the city recognizing her milestone birthday.
Stinnett was born in Noblesville and raised by her grandmother in Cicero after her mother died when she was 7. She had four sisters and one brother who were raised separately. She was married twice.
“I’ve lived a good life. It’s been a rough life, but a good one,” Stinnett said.
Stinnett has vivid memories of her life, such as traveling with her first husband and two sons across the United States and growing up with her grandmother.
“My grandmother was a wise woman,” Stinnett said. “She taught me to never tell a lie and never gossip about people. She
was a good woman who never took sides.”
In retirement, Stinnett enjoys listening to country music and playing bingo and euchre at Heritage Woods, where she has lived since it opened in 2019.
“I’ve always been a loner,” Stinnett said. “I do like living here. It is a great place to live when you get older. I like the meals here and I like the people.”
Kelsey Fowler, the sales and marketing director at Heritage Woods, said Stinnett is the oldest resident at the facility.
“I’m an antique, but I’ve lived a wonderful life,” Stinnett said.
Riverview Health receives funds
news@currentnoblesville.com
Riverview Health Foundation recently announced that it provided more than $1.1 million to Riverview Health in 2024.
DONATION
In addition to net proceeds from various events, funds are an accumulation of donations and grants from individuals, families and businesses in the community, according to Jason Kaufmann, Riverview Health’s director of marketing and communications.
Kaufmann said areas that will receive funds are the Courtney Cox Cole Infusion Center, the Help for Healing fund, the Employee Assistance fund, departments serving women and children and the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit project.
Kaufmann said Riverview Health Foundation has raised nearly $2 million toward its $3 million fundraising goal for the expansion and renovation of the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit thanks to the generosity of donors.
“For several years, the foundation has been raising funds for this important project and will continue working with gener-
ous donors to reach our goal,” Megan Wiles, vice president of the foundation, stated.
Wiles said Norman and Peggy Mindrebo provided the lead gift for the renovation of the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit.
“We have been involved in several great projects, such as the garden for the Courtney Cox Cole Infusion Center, providing a maternity suite for patients and the piano that plays in the Noblesville atrium,” Norman and Mindrebo stated in a press release. “We’re excited to participate in the funding of the Riverview Health Acute Inpatient Rehab Center, knowing what a difference it’s going to make.”

The Picklr Noblesville now open
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Indianapolis businessmen Ron Brock and David Gilreath opened The Picklr Noblesville, an indoor pickleball facility at 9847 Cumberland Pointe Blvd., Jan. 25.
PICKLEBALL
Noblesville is the second of at least six locations Gilreath and Brock plan to open in central Indiana. They opened their first Indiana club, The Picklr Keystone Crossing at 3810 E. 82nd St., Dec. 21, 2024.
The Picklr Noblesville is a joint venture between former NFL quarterback Drew Brees’ BV Pickleball Clubs LLC and Pickle Indy LLC, owned by Gilreath and Brock.
Brees, a Purdue University graduate and SuperBowl MVP, visited the facility Jan. 28 and played a round of pickleball alongside A.J. Krent, a former tennis player who won the chance to be Brees’ partner in a championship match against Professional Pickleball Association pros Jade and Jackie Kawamoto.
Brees said it was exciting to see the finished facility and the turnout The Picklr Noblesville has garnered so far.
“The Picklr offers a great opportunity for people to become a part of this community,” Brees stated. “It gives people the opportunity to play pickleball if they haven’t played yet in an environment that allows you to play year-round. We’re really excited about this facility.”
The 57,000-square-foot club has 19 fully
fenced indoor courts with outdoor-style court surfacing; three championship-size courts with permanent grandstands; a viewing and lounge area; a pro shop; and private event space.
A club membership includes free court reservations, unlimited Picklr leagues, tournaments and open play. Private coaching, clinics, youth academies and private/ corporate event space also are available.
“Our vision for The Picklr Noblesville is to create a community where people of all ages and skill levels can come together to play this fast-growing sport,” Brees stated. “This location will be the Midwest’s premier pickleball club, and we look forward to building the area youth program as well as attracting both amateur and professional tournaments.”

Greyhounds senior point guard’s career ends too soon
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Although Carmel High School senior point guard Alex Couto’s season came to an abrupt end because of a knee injury, he knows he leaves with a lot of great memories.
The 6-foot Couto sprained an anterior cruciate ligament and medial cruciate ligament and suffered a bone bruise Jan. 18 in a loss to Bloomington South.
“It’s very frustrating to have my senior season end like this, but looking back at the accomplishments and goals I was able to reach, I am proud to have been a three-year starter at this historic Carmel program, being a captain, earning top 100 sophomore and junior years, Junior AllState, McDonald’s All-American nominee,” Couto said. “While those are some of my own personal accomplishments, the biggest accomplishment of my high school career is being a great teammate, coachable player and being a part of this great basketball community.”
Couto averaged 12.6 points, 4.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game in his 12 games

as a senior. He averaged 13.6 ppg as a junior.
“Alex was our connector and took great pride in being the best for our team,”
Greyhounds coach Ryan Osborn said. “We couldn’t afford to take him off the floor because his presence positively impacted everyone out there. He makes everyone better. He has a natural ability to lead. His contagious personality, relentless work

ethic paired with his competitive spirit equip him to be a special leader.”
Couto said he is proud of his versatility as a player.
“I think it comes from being able to take positive criticism from my coaches and loving to put in a ton of relentless work,” he said. “I think I have become so versatile because of the different roles I have played and the growth that comes from that.”
Osborn said Couto should recover in time
and should be considered for the Indiana All-Star team, which plays Kentucky in the annual boys and girls doubleheaders in June.
“He deserves it and would impact that team just like he impacts ours,” Osborn said.
Couto is eager to get back to working on his game before continuing his basketball career at Huntington University.
“Honestly, in every aspect of the game I can continue to improve, (being) vocal, defending, leading, film, ball handling, weight room, etc.,” Couto said. “The key to improvement is understanding to never be content and focus on every day getting better than yesterday.”
Couto said he brings passion every time he steps on the court.
“I feel the passion has been inside me since I was little,” he said. “I just love the game. I love having fun on the court. I love my teammates. I love learning from my coaches. I hate losing more than I like winning.”

Noblesville resident establishes rental home for traveling nurses
A home for traveling nurses is now available for rent in Noblesville.
Sandra Daubert, a sales team leader for Procore Technologies, recently bought and furnished a home at 133 Hiwatha Dr., in Noblesville near the White River for the sole purpose of renting it to traveling nurses who work on temporary assignments at health care facilities.
“It is a way to give back, but also a way to have an investment at the same time,” Daubert said. “It is something I’d like to continue, but this property is me just dipping my toe into the investment world. I wanted to do it in a fairly safe way that helps people. I also like to have the freedom to run a business how I’d like, and I can keep my full-time job.”
A Noblesville resident, Daubert has lived in the city for five years. She said she always wanted to purchase an investment property and said the opportunity “fell into her lap” when she found the 750-square-foot home, which she purchased for $150,000.
“It was for sale by a Realtor who owned the property and fixed it up, and he has two rentals in the neighborhood, too,” Daubert said. “When I walked in, I felt this comfortable and cozy vibe ideal for an individual. It dawned on me that there are several things I can do with it, like rent it out traditionally, use it as an Airbnb or do something a little different.”
That “something different” was modifying the property to be a fully furnished home targeting travel nurses in need of long-term rentals. The monthly rental fee for the home, which has two bedrooms and one bathroom, is $2,000.
“My family has a lot of physicians and nurses that give their all to their career, and I realized there was an option out there with Furnished Finder, an app where 90 percent of the audience that uses it is traveling nurses and physicians,” Daubert said. “When I realized I could rent this to nurses, it made all the sense in the world. Whoever rents it, whether it be someone in nursing school or someone traveling for work, is able to focus on school, their hospital and their patients.”
With several medical facilities near the rental, including Gunnison Valley Hospital and Aspen Valley Hospital, Daubert said the Noblesville home is ideal for nurses.
“I think Noblesville is one of the best places to live,” Daubert said. “It has all the resources nurses could need. It’s got warm and friendly people. With the number of care facilities in the area, I think it will be a highly attractive property.”
Darlene Bergeron McCann, who owns Hoosier Home Stagers, a home design and staging company in Carmel, was hired by Daubert to furnish the home.
“I’ve worked on a lot of rentals around here, and this is the very first time anybody has ever said they wanted it to be
specifically for travel nurses,” McCann said. “I pushed back a little bit and told her I thought she might be limiting herself, but she was insistent that there’s a need for this market.”
Patia Claxton, a nursing student at Marion University, agreed the demand for shortterm rentals for traveling nurses is high.
“The demand is most common in highly populated areas,” Claxton said. “Traveling nurses often need a house for a short period of time, which limits their options due to specific contracts and policies. The population gets bigger by the minute with limited houses for sale, which plays into effect when nurses go to travel, because they are having trouble finding available
A LOOK INSIDE
The rental property at 133 Hiawatha Dr. is $2,000 a month and includes WiFi, security, lawn care, snow removal, electricity and water. There is a minimum rent period of three months.
“I know a lot of these nurses are going to school, so all the utilities being included allows them to focus on their careers,” said Sandra Daubert, who purchased the home.
Darlene Bergeron McCann, owner of Hoosier Home Stagers in Carmel, designed the home to have a rustic and comforting atmosphere. She said it was not much different from her traditional stagings.
housing near the site of their hospital.”
Daubert said with Furnished Finder and its traveling nurse model, she can provide housing opportunities to people who wouldn’t normally have them.
“Traveling nurses pay more than they should because they have to take what they can find and find something furnished,” Daubert said. “It is something that, unfortunately, they can’t find very often. It’s nice I can provide that.”
The rental also will be helpful for younger nurses or nursing students who might not have connections to find places to stay, according to Daubert.
“There’s not a lot out there,” Daubert said. “There may be new people in the industry who don’t have the recommendations that folks who are well-versed in the industry have, and I think this is my way of helping. It’s ideal for nurses and students who are out there giving their all. It’s just something small, and now they will have a place they can relax, unwind and focus on their patients.”
The house is now available for rent. Interested nurses can find booking information at furnishedfinder.com/ property/800137_1.
“I think the only difference as far as how I staged it is that when I do Airbnbs, I do a lot of things like games and activities,” McCann said. “I tried to make this more about being cozy and relaxing for someone who may be in town alone.”
Key amenities of the rental are:
• Washer and dryer
• Pet friendly
• Dishwasher
• WiFi
• Smart TV
• Free parking
• Heating and air conditioning
• Dedicated workspace for laptops
• Fenced in yard

Noblesville resident returns to acting in ‘Geezers’ at Basile Westfield Playhouse
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Jen Otterman is a longtime member of the Indianapolis acting community, but she has been behind the scenes in recent years.
“I’ve been producing, directing and building sets,” she said.
However, the Noblesville resident will act for the first time in seven years in Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Geezers” Feb. 6 to 16 at Basile Westfield Playhouse. Her husband, Chris Otterman, is in the 10-person cast about life in a retirement home.
The play is directed by Carmel resident Lori Raffel.
“Lori is a dear friend of mine, and I was going to help her with set decorations,” Jen said.
Chris read the script first and then she did.
“I thought this role is right up my alley, so maybe it’s time I dusted off my acting shoes,” she said. “I used to act all the time. I started when I was 14.”
Jen’s last acting role was in “Lost in Yonkers” in 2018 at Red Barn Summer Theatre in Frankfort.
“You don’t see as many parts for older women as older men, I don’t think,” Jen said. “It’s harder to learn lines now when you are over 70. It’s fun, but it’s also stressful.”
Jen, 72, plays Kate, a former actress.
“She’s just a feisty gal and I can relate to a lot of her issues,” Jen said.
This is the first time Jen and Chris have acted together in 10 years. Chris plays Neil, another member of the retirement community.
Chris, 71, has acted since age 7.
“I met him doing summer theater,” Jen said. “I had a crush on his older brother, but his older brother was a little too old.”
The couple have been married 52 years, or as Jen said, “since God was a boy.”
They haven’t acted together since “The Shadow Box” in 2011 at Red Barn.
“It’s fun to see her on stage not directing again because now she has to take the director’s directions,” Chris said. “I have several lines to learn, so that’s daunting.”
Chis said Neil is the smart aleck of the group, which suits his personality.
“So, I’ve got a lot of funny lines,” he said. “I’m the cantankerous old geezer who thinks he’s better than anyone else.”
Noblesville resident Adrian Blackwell plays Jack, who works at the center.
“He’s 27 and he’s never had a job before in his life,” Blackwell said. “He had been taking care of his deaf mother. Once she died, he was forced to get a job, even though he’s terrible at interacting with people or socializing.”
Raffel said the seniors end up helping Jack more than he helps them.
Blackwell, 33, said he likes that the role is different than those he normally plays.
“I usually get cast as an alcoholic or drug addict or violent psychopath,” he said. “So, it was interesting to get a radi-
cally different role to play.”
Blackwell said it is good to work with Raffel again. He played an alcoholic in “That Championship Season,” which Raffel directed at Basile Westfield Playhouse in April 2024.
Raffel said she heard positive things about “Geezers” from a friend who saw it in Cincinnati.
“I wanted to submit it last year but heard it was already submitted,” she said.
Then she was asked if she wanted to direct it after the person who was supposed to direct it dropped out.
“I said, ‘It makes me really busy,’” she said. “But I really wanted to do it, so I said yes and I’m really glad I did.”
Raffel said the play has funny moments, but it’s not seniors making fun of each other.
Raffel said the playwright, Tommy Lee Johnson, from Chicago, plans to attend a performance.

Concerts for a Cause set
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Concerts for a Cause founder Bruce Kidd estimates his nonprofit will hit the $1 million donation mark in 2026.
GIVING BACK
The program, which features four concerts per year, has donated approximately $800,000 to 32 nonprofits in its first eight years.
Center, which has a capacity of 200.
The May 3 concert features folk-rock artist Liz Longley, benefiting the nonprofit Coburn Place, a haven for women and teens who have suffered domestic abuse.
“We’ve got another great lineup and found four more really worthy nonprofits,” Kidd said. “That’s the mission -- to help the smaller, local nonprofits that are helping kids, adults and families who are facing serious stuff.”
A Carmel resident, Kidd said the issues could be medical, economic, emotional or developmental.
The season opener features Jason Adamo and Ernie Halter performing together at 6 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Fishers Art Center. The first concert will benefit Elevate Indianapolis, which supports at-risk urban teens.
The other three concerts will be presented at the Basile Theatre at the Indy Art
The Aug. 23 event features veteran folk-pop duo JackoPierce and supports Abbie Hunt Bryce Home, a hospice with daily medical and emotional care for individuals who are homeless or from low-income families in central Indiana.
Fantastic Cat Band, four NYCbased solo artists who have joined forces, will perform at the Nov. 15 concert. The concert benefits Hear IN, which provides comprehensive assistance for newborns and children who are severely hearing impaired.
There will be no opening act for the Feb. 15 concert because Kidd said there are co-headliners. The final three opening acts are Marc Imboden, May 3; Bret Wiscons, Aug. 23; and Cory Williams, Nov. 15.
Kidd said the $100 ticket price, which includes dinner and open bar, hasn’t changed in five years.

‘Down on the Bayou’ returns
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
It’s no coincidence that Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre is presenting “Down on the Bayou” this month.
“Whenever we have presented ‘Down on the Bayou,’ it has been near Mardi Gras time,” said Gregory Hancock, artistic director and founder of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. “We make it a fun experience for the audience by giving them Mardi Gras beads and, of course, the intimate performance at The Florence provides the audience with a unique upclose and personal view of dance.”
The production is set for Feb. 8 to 23 at The Florence, the black box theater at GHDT, 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. There will be six performances with shows Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
“New Orleans and Louisiana are rich in the variety of music due to the variety and mix of cultures, including Creole, Cajun, French, West Indies, Acadian and more, so the selection of music was so vast for us,” Hancock said. “There are some songs that people may know, such as ‘Jambalaya,’
Abigail Lessaris will perform in Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s “Down on the Bayou.” (Photo courtesy of Lydia Moody)
‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ and ‘Blue Bayou.’ When we repeat a repertoire piece, the music always remains the same, but the unique qualities that new dancers bring to pieces can almost make the piece feel like a new piece.”
“Down on the Bayou” was last presented in February 2014.
“It is always an audience and dancer favorite, so we occasionally bring it back,” Hancock said.
Hancock said there are three separate pieces that are tied together in a loose way since they are all stories, dances and music of New Orleans and Louisiana.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen refresh in Fishers
Commentary by Larry Greene
Sometimes, all a space needs is a little refreshing to feel modern and on-trend. This Fishers home, built in 2004 near Hawthorn Country Club, featured a kitchen with great bones. However, the owners wanted to brighten the space and infuse it with contemporary style. Our team designed a transformation that elevated the kitchen without requiring a major renovation.
THE BLUEPRINT
• Adding a fresh coat of white paint on the perimeter cabinets brightened the room, giving it a light, clean and timeless look.
• New quartz countertops, paired with the shimmering white tile in the room’s existing backsplash, elevated the space, adding sophistication and modern appeal.
• A bold navy hue on the island, complemented by the quartz counters, contributed a pop of color. This balanced the lighter palette and created a unique focal point perfect for meal prep, entertaining and gathering.
• Matte black hardware and pendant lights provided contrast, while champagne bronze faucets and accents introduced warmth and a touch of elegance.

A step toward healthier communities in Hamilton County
Commentary by Mark Heirbrandt
As a Hamilton County Commissioner, I am proud to support Health First Indiana, a transformative initiative that strengthens public health across our state.
PARTNERSHIP
Born from Senate Enrolled Act 4, legislation passed by the 2023 Indiana General Assembly, HFI provides vital funding to counties like ours, allowing us to assess local health needs
and implement evidence-based programs prioritizing prevention.
Since its launch in 2024, this state and local partnership has enabled the Hamilton County Health Department to enhance critical services in areas like mental health, maternal and child health, chronic disease prevention and emergency preparedness. These programs are not only improving health outcomes but are also building a foundation for a healthier, more prosperous community.
Through HFI funding, HCHD has already awarded more than $3.2 million to local partners to deliver essential services and ensure residents can easily access the care they need. Trinity Free Clinic, the largest provider of free health services in central Indiana, used grant dollars to expand its dental services, allowing it to increase walk-in dental care and serve more low-income, uninsured and underinsured residents.
nuclear detection, car seat safety, safe sitter training and the CredibleMind self-help website — tools our residents can take advantage of to lead healthier lives and create a safer community for everyone.
As we look ahead, I urge the general assembly to continue providing this critical funding in future state budgets and encourage qualified community organizations to apply for these critical funds.

One young man, a victim of a violent assault who had been unable to afford dental care, was able to receive life-changing treatment. Trinity’s team removed the wires from his mouth and helped restore his ability to eat, speak and regain his dignity.
HFI funding has also enabled the HCHD to roll out new initiatives like radiological

Icelandic theory of relativity
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
The Wolfsies are headed to Iceland in March. We are thrilled to be taking a small group with us to enjoy this weeklong adventure.
HUMOR
My wife Mary Ellen is already checking the weather there, and she announces to me each morning that it is warmer in Reykjavik, the nation’s capital, than it is in Indianapolis. For some reason, this makes her feel better. In her dogged research, she has determined that the key to an enjoyable experience is to have many layers, a position I took concerning our wedding cake 44 years ago.
My sister, who is single, is going with us, but I want to warn her that if she is on the hunt, not for moose, but an eligible man, to keep the following in mind:
• The biggest issue men have when hooking up with women in Iceland is not that the ladies are cold. The men can be a little frosty themselves — but temperature is relative. The problem is that the person they meet at the Moose Antler Pub could actually be a relative.
• Iceland is the home of only about 380,000 people, and its lineage has been documented over the past 1,000 years. Generally, people don’t move to or away

from Iceland (why would they? And give up the best reindeer barbeque in the world?). The problem is that most people are probably related to each other, swinging from the same family tree.
• Wedding planners and family reunion organizers compete for the same guests. Web dating services in Iceland try hard to match people who engage in similar sports, love hunting, enjoy moonlight walks and, whenever possible, have different great-grandparents.
• Smartphones once featured a “bump” function. Potential lovers could tap their phones together to see how closely they were related. The incest app drew rave reviews with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 on the Google Play Store. That put it a little behind the video game Grand Theft Auto, although stealing a car and kissing

your cousin both carry similar jail terms.
• Creators of the app were unhappy with the publicity. They claimed that the main intention of the application was to give data about the nation’s rich genealogical history and provide information about relatives’ birthdays and anniversaries. But learning it’s Uncle Olafur’s 50th birthday doesn’t have the same impact as an app that tells you who to cozy up with. One of the app’s developers, Arnar Freyr Adalsteinsson, said he seldom used the bumping feature. “I just use common sense,” Adalsteinsson said. “If the woman was attractive but named Gloria Freyr Adalsteinsson, I would be a little wary.”
• The manufacturer noted that the application was not for iPhones; it was only for Androids. I’m no expert on human sexuality, but if you’re an android, it’s probably safe to go home with anybody you want.

Proposed Intersection Improvements at SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street, and at SR 13 and Strawtown Avenue/West 8th Street in Hamilton, Madison, and Tipton Counties
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will host a public hearing on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, in the auditorium of Lapel High School located at 1850 S. 900 W. Lapel, IN 46051. The hearing presentation will begin at 5:00 PM EST. The purpose of the public hearing is to offer all interested persons an opportunity to comment on current preliminary design plans for the proposed two State Road (SR) 13 intersection improvements: at SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street (DES. 2003081) and at SR 13 and Strawtown Avenue/West 8th Street (DES. 2003082), located in Hamilton, Madison, and Tipton Counties.
The purpose of these projects is to reduce the crash potential and provide a long-term solution to ensure safe operation of the intersections. The need for these projects is due to the high frequency of crash severity, particularly right-angle crashes, at the existing intersections.
The projects propose to convert both existing intersections from two-way stop control into a single lane roundabout. Proposed roadway elements include 12-foot travel lanes with a mix of open and curbed shoulders. A central concrete island and truck apron will be provided, as well as exterior truck aprons to facilitate turning movements. Additionally, drainage improvements will include installation of curb and gutter turnouts, a stormwater system and new roadside ditches. At the SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street intersection stormwater improvements would include an approximately 0.45 acre stormwater detention pond. Utility relocations will be required at the existing intersection, as well as new lighting.
The maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan for the SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street project will require phased closures of SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street. Phase one of the MOT will maintain through traffic on SR 13 and the connection to 296th Street, and closure of SR 128. Phase one detours include: closure of SR 128 (north) utilizing SR 13, SR 28, and SR 9, adding nearly 17 miles of travel; closure of SR 128 (south) utilizing SR 9, SR 32, and SR 13, adding nearly 31 miles of travel. Phase two of the MOT will include a full closure of the intersection of SR 13 and SR 128/296th Street. Phase two detours will include: closure of SR 13 utilizing SR 32, SR 9, and SR 28, adding nearly 33 miles of travel; the same two detours for SR 128 as in Phase one; and lastly, closure of 296th Street, utilizing CR 500S, SR 213 and 281st Street, adding nearly 10 miles of travel. Phase three of the MOT will include closure of the west leg of 296th Street, utilizing the same detour as Phase two.
The MOT plan for the SR 13 and Strawtown Avenue/West 8th Street project will require phased closures of SR 13 and Strawtown
Avenue. Phase one will maintain through traffic on SR 13, and closure of Strawtown Avenue/W 8th Street during construction of the west and east legs of the proposed roundabout. Phase one detour includes Prairie Baptist Road, CR 100 N, Hamilton Road, and College Corner Road, adding nearly 14 miles of travel. Phase two will include a closure of SR 13, during construction of the center of the roundabout and north and south legs, as well as the installation of storm sewers, final surface pavement markings, and signage. Phase two detour will maintain the detours of local roads from Phase one and includes SR 37, SR 38, and SR 32 for traffic on SR 13, adding nearly 19 miles of travel. Phase three will be used for final roadway restoration and demobilization activities, with no detours required.
The detours will remain for the duration of each phase of construction for the projects, which is anticipated to be approximately one construction season combined for all phases. School corporations and emergency services will be notified of closures prior to construction.
The projects will require approximately 3.26 acres of permanent right-of-way (ROW), and approximately 0.55 acre of temporary ROW for DES. 2003081, and approximately 3.42 acres of permanent ROW and no temporary ROW for DES. 2003082. The proposed start of construction is 2026.
The cost associated with these projects is approximately $5,786,486 (DES. 2003081) and $5,695,749 (DES. 2003082), which includes preliminary engineering, ROW acquisition, and construction with both federal and state funds anticipated to be used. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and INDOT have agreed each of these projects falls within the guidelines of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) Level 2 environmental document. Preliminary design plans along with the CE-2 documents for each project are available for review at the following locations:
1. Lapel Branch Public Library, 610 Main Street, Lapel, IN 46051;
