Thornton ready to prove a Democrat can win Fifth District in Novemeber

For someone who wasn’t planning to run for federal office, Dee Thornton’s first election ended pretty well.

“I didn’t exactly set out to politics run for Congress,” she said.

“It just kind of happened that way.”

The Carmel resident beat four other candidates May 8 to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for the Fifth District representative, a seat held by Thornton Republican Susan Brooks.

The political newcomer believes she has what it takes to oust Brooks, an attorney and longtime civil servant in a traditionally Republican district who was elected in 2012.

To some, it may appear to be an uphill battle for Thornton to win Nov. 6, but she doesn’t see it that way.

“It’s always been defined as a highly

gerrymandered district. What I hear people say most of the time is, ‘You’ll have a hard time. You can’t win because it was drawn up for you not to win,’” Thornton said. “I’m determined to prove them wrong.”

Ready for a change Throughout her career as a business executive, Thornton had considered running for elected office – someday. The stars finally aligned this year because recent changes in her career and family life made a run for office more feasible.

“Part of what drove me to run for office is the lack of leadership and the lack of moral courage that we have in our current representation and our current leadership,” Thornton said. “That’s more important to me than a ‘D’ in front of my name or an ‘R’ in front of my name. It’s about moral character, and I think other people are feeling the same way.”

Thornton said the high number of candidates that ran for the Fifth District seat showed that residents are unhappy with their current leadership. She said she will do a better job of representing and con-

necting with constituents than Brooks.

“The biggest thing is lack of accessibility (for) her constituents. It’s like, ‘Where’s Susan?’” she said. “If you’re elected as a representative of the people you should make yourself accessible to the people.”

Joe Weingarten, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, said he was pleased to see Thornton emerge from the crowded primary and that she is a “phenomenal candidate.”

“She’s been traveling all over the district meeting with people,” he said. “Susan Brooks has fallen into the trap of voting with what the (Republican) party tells you to vote. It’s time to have a fresh face in there who is more concerned with the local problems.”

Turning the tide The Fifth District contains all or part of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties. Since forming in 2000, it has only sent Republicans to Congress, but the gap between the parties has narrowed over time.

American flags were given to each new citizen.

BECOMING A CITIZEN Lawrence man shares experience as one of 96 to become naturalized

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com After a July 3 ceremony, Indiana now has 96 new citizens. cover story The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in downtown Indianapolis served as the backdrop for the naturalization ceremony, just in time for participants to celebrate their first Independence Day as an American citizen.

People from 37 nations participated in the ceremony, presided by U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker.

U.S. Immigration Services Officer Darren Dapas took a roll call of each nation, upon which new citizens stood and received a new American flag from a child in the audience. Flags were provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Kimball Harrison Morsman, the great-great-grandson of President Benjamin Harrison, offered some welcoming remarks.

At the end of the ceremony, information

about services was provided to new citizens, including voter registration forms by the League of Women Voters, information from the Social Security Administration and passport applications from the U.S. Postal Service, among other items.

Lawrence resident George Navarro, born Jorge Navarro Jr., was in the crowd to receive his certificate of citizenship.

Navarro was only 6 months old when his family moved to the U.S. from Honduras in 1965. He grew up in Indianapolis and attended John Marshall High School. He now works as a painting contractor in the Indianapolis area.

“I’ve been back to Honduras maybe a couple of times, but the last time I went was in 1979,” Navarro said.

He began the naturalization process in October 2017.

Navarro’s sister, Norma Gorsline, also came from Honduras in 1965 with the family but wasn’t part of the July 3 ceremony because she was granted citizenship in February.

“There are like 100 questions in the book, but they only ask you like three or four,” Navarro said. “My sister and I applied (for citizenship) together, and we were calling each other the night before the test. We couldn’t sleep.”

When asked why he chose now to become a citizen, Navarro said it was because of the growing national debate about immigration policy.

“All of this (President) Trump stuff is going on, and my dad wanted us to do it because he was worried about us getting deported,” Navarro said.

Now, Navarro, his sister and parents are all American citizens. His parents, Maria and Jorge Navarro Sr., applied for and were granted citizenship in 1985.

“I’ve known George all my life,” said Bradley Collier, a longtime friend of Navarro who attended the ceremony. “It was a long time coming, and I’m glad to be here to support him. We went to high school together, so it’s been a 40-year wait to see this happen.

We’re all glad.”

Senior Judge Sarah Evans Barker of the United States District Court, representing the Southern District of the Indiana, presided over the naturalization ceremony at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site on July 3.

Barker presides over approximately three naturalization ceremonies each year with her own tradition of handing out sparklers to new citizens during the ceremony nearest to the Fourth of July.

In her opening remarks, she said: “This year, we welcome 96 new citizens, all coming as full-fledged citizens, and in doing so, we mark the 242nd birthday of the United States of America. Each of you has made your own pilgrimage, coming from places all around the globe on journeys that have brought you here to this day, to this place and to this moment. As you complete that journey, you embark on a new adventure, setting out to craft a meaningful, contributing, happy life as a citizen of this country.

“Even the tent that shelters us today has become part of the tradition. The wonderful symbolism of this tent is that it’s open all around, no walls. I like that.

“It is no secret that our government is struggling to come up with workable, humane and just policies and procedures to deal with the overwhelming flow of people who are seeking refuge and safety and in search of new opportunities within our shores. You’re becoming citizens at a very challenging time in our natural history.

“I struggled to think of something hopeful and some perspective-giving words that I could say to you new citizens and to signal that, despite turmoil, you are welcome here. We need you more than ever. You show us that the differences among us enliven us and make us more empathetic to the welfare of all. I can’t state this any more plainly than I say it now. You are welcome here.”

Breaking waves

Doh! Upstaged

by Homer

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Whether a lifetime commitment or a week per year, we are drawn to the seashore. There is something about the endlessly lapping waves and the seemingly infinite views that connect us to that which is greater than ourselves. Globally, beaches have attracted us since humans could manage to secure a decent summer rental.

To each is a unique strategy. The youngest among us, lathered in SPF 1 million, dash across the hot sand to touch the sea at its fringe, running to and fro, in and out, with each advancing and receding wave.

The teens promenade looking for others of their ilk to impress with a boogie-boarding trick or muscle flex. As we grow toward maturity, we might stroll seeking the most rare of seashells or just a bit of time away from the demands of daily life. We’ve come to know the difference between the common place and the special. But more so, we find calm in the permanence of the sea – the same today as it has been for generations. It calls us to slow down and take stock.

Breaking free from the intentional dervish of a self-inflicted daily cyclone brings with it a highly productive zen. Time in our hammocks, watching ants go about their business below and carefully examining the individual shapes of the clouds above — each bringing a quiet that allows clarity of thought and intention. Yet, many live a pattern of deliberate resistance to peace and an equivalent desire for manufactured chaos. Like the child unaware that if she allows the wave to break over her feet, that moments later it will recede, are we spending our precious energy on the inconsequential?

I’ve been usurped! Yes, folks, my role as the Queen of the Fourth of July parade was recently co-opted by a young whippersnapper who’s never even heard of humor me. True, “queen” might be an exaggeration, but in all my years of riding in the Current car, it’s been me that people acknowledge: “Danielle! Woo-hoo! Love your column!”

This Independence Day, however, I did not feel the love. With literally thousands of parade-goers lining the streets, I counted a total of 11 shout-outs, including those from my actual friends and neighbors. That’s a significant decrease from years past and put me on par with my top-of-the-backseat partner, Current’s cartoonist Tim Campbell, and our driver, Dennis O’Malia. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both great. But let’s be honest, I’m the controversial dance mom who readers want to see. I’m supposed to be the star!

So, what happened? I’ll tell you: A Homer Simpson imposter decided to ride shotgun.

Yep, I played second fiddle to a teenage boy wearing a rubber mask of an animated legend. Screams of “Ho-mer!” and “Doh!” filled the air from the get-go and then intensified as the newbie grew more and more comfortable with his fame. What started as shy hand waves soon became standing, double-arm finger points. Kids, grandparents, law enforcement -- everybody went crazy. He even inspired an honest-to-goodnes chant toward the end of the route.

So, I bow to thee, Jackson Neverlearnedyourlastname, for you are truly a master. I hope you enjoyed your 15 seconds, though, because next year I’m taking back the throne.

I make a fantastic Elsa.

Peace out.

ID thieves: Objects in mirror are closer than they appear Commentary by Steve Carman We all hear how widespread and severe the ID theft problem has become in our country. One thing still remains certain for all: ID thieves get better all the time. Steps you took to protect yourself a few years ago are simply not strong enough to protect you today. Approximately 99 percent of thieves want a quick score without spending a lot of time and resources.

Here are some tips: Put a cover or small piece of paper over the VIN number on your vehicle’s dashboard. That number is key in making obtaining additional information about you. If I have your license plate number, VIN number and address, I can get your name off of a simple internet search.

Check your mail daily. A lot of people simply don’t retrieve their mail from their mailbox on the same day it was delivered.

Get your mail as soon as you can out of your mailbox, never leave it there overnight, and consider a locking mailbox.

Shred junk mail. The free credit card solicitations – shred them. Most of the time, all a company needs is an acknowledgment and signature, and a credit card is on the way. If an ID thief intercepts the solicitation, he signs it for

you and puts a note with it along with a change of address on where to send the card.

Rethink your need to enter every sweepstakes you encounter. You are just one good raffle drawing away from the new Ford or Chevy of your dreams. Realistically, the chances of you winning are extremely small, and you give away a ton of ID information just to be eligible.

Freeze your credit. Notice, I don’t say hire a credit monitoring service. Know the difference. A credit monitoring service is like hiring a home alarm company to tell you your home was burglarized after the fact. A credit freeze is like an alarm that makes an ID theft virtually impossible by locking up your information.

Remember, when protecting your ID, take the time to plan two to three moves ahead. There is no perfect defense to any theft, but with a small bit of planning you can dramatically lower your chances of being a victim of identity theft.

Mary Ellen and I are moving. She keeps saying we have to “downsize, downsize!” We’re both very stressed, humor which is why my wife is down a size, but I’ve gone up a few.

As I recently wrote, I discarded more than 300 VHS tapes of my past TV segments. Here are a few more I couldn’t part with: A local veterinarian took my beagle, Barney (my TV co-host for 13 years), for a few days and claimed he had cured him of his destructive habits. While interviewing Dr. Sampson on my front porch the following week, Barney dug up the rose bed and gnawed the microphone cable in half while the vet looked on in horror.

I’m keeping the tape of Eloise Overdorf, who at age 93 wanted to go 200 mph in a car. Bob Haverstick, founder of Never Too Late, an organization that granted final wishes to seniors, made it happen. The nonagenarian jumped into a dragster driven by Davey Hamilton and off she went. “You look disappointed,“ I said when she exited the car. “I am,” Eloise said. “I thought I was going to drive.”

I interviewed members of the KKK. The CD:

YOUR NEXT-DOOR BANKING EXPERTS.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

granddaughter of Sam Jones (then-president of the Indianapolis Urban League) rose to say that although she was black, she had white ancestors. “Maybe you and I are related,” she said to the Grand Wizard. Oh, the expression on his face!

There were stories I didn’t tape but wish I had, like the segment with admitted draft dodgers, one of whom was arrested during a commercial break. Or the segment with an autistic youngster, a musical savant who had never seen a xylophone, but he picked up the mallets and played a duet with local jazz great Billy Wooten. I also misplaced a tape of a little girl talking to her father at his grave, just moments after the fallen hero was laid to rest at Crown Hill.

Sadly, I’ve lost the recording of my hourlong interview with Ryan White, the last one he did before he passed away of AIDS in April of l990. I hope I find all those tapes -- and a machine to play them on.

Gardening season has arrived in central Indiana, and you want to accomplish as much as possible in the outdoor shortest period of time in your garden and yard. First and foremost, please recognize that gardening and yard work are strenuous activities that can create problems. Here are a few tips for prevention of overuse conditions while returning to the outdoors: Perform stretches to warm up the muscles and joints prior to gardening and yard work.

Get going now with cardiovascular reconditioning. Were you a couch potato all winter? If the answer is yes, start walking outdoors for 10 to 15 minutes (at a vigorous pace) to prepare your heart and muscles for the rigors of gardening.

Purchase ergonomic garden tools. Ergonomic handles make a difference with minimizing “load” on the carpal tunnel region and small joints of the hand. Larger size handles also will minimize fatigue of the muscles that perform repetitive grip-

ping tasks.

Pacing is critical. Start with 20 to 30 minutes of gardening the first day and gradually work up to two hours, increasing the time by 30-minute intervals. Increasing the minutes in increments gives the muscles, joints and your heart an opportunity to adjust to the physical demands of working outdoors. Always take mini-breaks every hour to rehydrate and to give fatigued muscles a rest.

Protect the small joints of the hands with gloves. Look for textured garden gloves in the garden section of Target, Walmart or a local garden shop. These are excellent for pulling weeds, protecting fingertips, joints and skin.

Don’t forget sunscreen. Even though sun exposure is a great source of vitamin D, too much exposure (without sunscreen) increases the risk of skin cancer.

Mark’s take: Would you like to try something very different? If so, let your culinary spirit of adventure take you to the Jamaican Reggae Grill. Get your taste buds set for a spicy flavor of the islands. Jamaican patties, Carribbean Jerk Wings and Curried Chicken are just three of the many authentic dishes that await you. Be bold and check out the Jamaican Reggae Grill.

What to get: Two Jamaican Patties alone are quite filling. But if you want more, there’s Jamaican Patties and Jerk Chicken

Jamaican Patties and Jerk Chicken Wings.

Wings. My recommendation: Have the patties as an appetizer and an order of the the jerk chicken wings as an entree. Even without the jerk sauce, the wings are good and spicy.

Blueprint for Improvement: Westfield multi-bathroom renovation Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After solutions

After

The goal was to create a space custom-based on the needs of the family.

1. The largest change came from removing the tub/shower and replacing it with a large custom glass-enclosed shower. This better utilized the space and allowed more natural light into the room.

2. Additionally, new cabinetry was added with a custom linen tower in the center of the double vanity for efficient storage.

3. Open shelving in the kids’ bathroom was removed to create space for a double vanity with all new cabinetry and large linen tower.

4. A wall with a pocket door was added to separate the vanity from the toilet and shower. This allows for multiple people to utilize the space at once.

5. Hardware and fixtures were updated throughout both spaces.

Background Info: This early 2000s home in the Oakridge Crossing neighborhood of Westfield is home to a young family. Overall, they love the home but their bathrooms needed some updates to create a space that functions better for the entire family.

Before problems The master bathroom had a tub/ shower, but the homeowners did not utilize the tub. The kids’ bathroom had a single vanity, making it hard for more than one person to utilize the bathroom at a time. Both bathrooms had build-grade materials that dated the spaces.

Vienna’s Plague Column Commentary by Don Knebel The Graben, pedestrian-friendly and flanked by fashionable shops, is one of the liveliest streets in modern Vienna. A column at its heart celebrates the travel city’s deliverance from two 17th-century events that threatened its existence.

In 1679, the bubonic plague returned to Vienna, quickly killing 10,000 residents. In desperation, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, a resident of Vienna, prayed to God, promising to build a monument honoring the Holy Trinity if God saw fit to end the epidemic.

Leopold then moved to the safety of Prague to await the answer. As the plague subsided, perhaps due to Vienna’s innovative sanitation methods, grateful citizens erected a wooden pestsäule (pest column) on the Graben in the center of Vienna, topped by a representation of the Trinity. Soon afterward, the Holy Roman Empire defeated Turkish forces besieging Vienna, inflicting huge losses on the enemy and halting the Muslims’ advance into Europe.

In celebration of God’s support in Vienna’s victories over the plague and the Muslims, as well as his own role in them, Leopold ordered the erection of a marble column on the Graben to replace the wooden one. A series of artists was engaged to design and execute Leopold’s vision. Completed in 1694, the 69-foot-tall baroque monument contains three distinct sections. The bottom section

shows a cross-wielding Faith defeating the plague, represented by a grotesque woman being held upside down. Just above is a praying Leopold, recognizable by the jutting jaw that characterized the Habsburg family, the golden sword of victory at his side. The center section includes a choir of the nine angels Christian tradition says are closest to God. The apex of the pyramid-shaped monument features a gilded representation of God the Father, Jesus with his cross and the Holy Spirit, represented by a dove in the center of the sun.

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.
