Environmental Management Institute opens at Ivy Tech

By Sophie Nulph news@geistcurrent.com The Environmental Management Institute has opened a EDUCATION 5,000-square-foot wing in the Ivy Tech Lawrence facility to accommodate trainings.

EMI is a nonprofit educational program that has partnered with Ivy Tech Community College to provide workforce training.

They joined forces Aug. 1 under Ivy Tech’s Homeland Security and Public Safety Program.

As Indiana’s largest asbestos and lead trainers, EMI specializes in how to find harmful products like lead, asbestos and mold and provides certified OSHA, EPA, DOT and HUD training and training for chemical spill clean-up and emergency responses on spills.

als in different environments.

Joan Ketterman, the director of EMI, said the program was looking for ways to grow the business when it decided to open a facility on an Ivy Tech campus.

“They are in the training business on the non-academic side of workforce training,” Ketterman said.

EMI opened 30 years ago in Indianapolis.

Since then, the company has expanded and grown while helping people complete environmental compliance training.

Former Hamilton Southeastern High School student-athlete GIVING BACK Carrie Colglazier was killed by a drunk driver in 2003. The school, in conjunction with Colglazier’s parents, set up a scholarship fund to honor her.

The 17th annual Carrie Colglazier Scholarship Workday is Sept. 28. Members of the girl’s track team, soccer team, National Honor Society and FFA will be available to work for an eght-hour day for a minimum $25 donation. All proceeds benefit the Carrie Colglazier Scholarship Fund.

“Carrie was involved in National Honor Society, FFA, girls track and girls soccer,” HSE High School Athletic Director Jim Self said. “Each year, we invite students who participate in those areas to go out and work one Saturday for the public. This year, we decided to do it in the fall instead of the spring.”

Students will perform tasks including babysitting, mulching, washing cars, cleaning gutters, planting flowers, painting and washing windows.

“We’ll have between 100 to 150 kids go out and work,” Self said. “We’ve been blessed year in and year out to have people participate. The scholarship is now

up to $16,000 a year, and that is raised through this workday.”

Students are sent to jobs in groups.

Self said many people donate more than the $25 minimum.

In the spring, the scholarship is awarded to a member of FFA, girls soccer, girls track or National Honor Society. The recipient must participate in the community service workday.

“It’s an amazing thing,” Self said. “We never thought it would sustain this long, but it’s just become part of our culture here.”

LAWRENCE POLICE DEPT. OFFICER ADOPTS DOG

After responding to a report of an abandoned dog in a Lawrence neighborhood, Lawrence Police Dept. officer Stuart Bishop forged an instant bond with the Husky mix. After unsuccessful attempts to locate the owner, Bishop adopted the dog and named him Rizzo after Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “Live PD” documented the event and shared it nationwide.

Turquoise tables reach county

By Renee Larr news@currentinwestfield.com

A new initiative is coming to Hamilton County that aims to foster community among residents and visitors.

Kristin Schell created the TOURISM Turquoise Table Movement in 2013 in Austin, Texas.

Tables are placed strategically throughout a city as a meeting spot where people can engage in conversation and play games.

Hamilton County Tourism is responsible for making the concept local.

“We launched an initiative this year called Creative Economies,” Sarah Buckner, HCT destination development manager, stated in an email. “After speaking with artists, arts organizations and community event planners, I developed a team of arts leaders in the county. We took a trip to Minneapolis in June to the Americans for the Arts National Conference to learn about arts, community, placemaking. While exploring, we saw fun game tables. We liked that they brought people together to play a game and have a chat.”

A member of the team, Aili McGill, informed Buckner about the Turquoise Table Movement. The two ideas were melded.

Ross Hilleary, a planner with the City of Fishers, and Kelli Jenkins of Hamilton County Tourism play a game on a turquoise table. (Submitted photo)

The tables will offer games like Jenga, chess and checkers and will be placed in five participating communities.

“Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield each received three outdoor tables and four chairs,” Buckner said. “The board-game tops are a weather-resistant material.”

Cicero received one table.

UNMANNED LPD, LFD purchase new drone technology

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Lawrence Police Dept. and the Lawrence Fire Dept. have COVER STORY three new drones to assist in a variety of public safety emergencies, such as traffic crash investigations, weather event responses and more.

The drones, called unmanned aerial vehicles, were purchased by the City of Lawrence for a combined cost of a little less than $47,000.

LFD Chief Dino Batalis said a public safety team consisting of four firefighters and four police officers were trained on the UAVs in August. When a drone is deployed, two of the eight team members operate it.

“When they’re called out, there are two people on call all the time. The basic reason (for two) is one flies and the other helps navigate,” Batalis said. “On the fire side for working fires, we can get one up in the air,

and it’s helpful for whoever is commanding the fire.”

Drones also can assist in Project Lifesaver searches. Project Lifesaver is a program that helps locate missing individuals with cognitive conditions.

“We are a member of Project Lifesaver, and we have clients around the city and a lot of autistic kids. We always get missing kids who cut the bracelets off, patients with Alzheimer’s, patients with dementia,” Batalis said. “Then, the police side can use this for perimeters, SWAT callouts or if somebody bails from a car. We can use it for special events like community safety day and parades.”

Batalis regards UAVs as another tool in the department toolbox. If a battery on a UAV runs low, the device automatically returns to base so that it doesn’t crash. Two of the three drones are smaller models.

Although the smaller UAVs can be deployed quickly, the larger device flies better in windier conditions and can carry weighted

UAVs can be used for Project Lifesaver or to track a subject bailing from a vehicle, among other capabilities.

items, such as lifejackets to victims during water rescues. The larger drone also is equipped with an infrared camera.

The departments expect to begin using the UAVs before the end of the month.

TEAMING TOGETHER Lawrence Fire Dept. Chief Dino Batalis said the public safety team of four firefighters and four police officers trained to operate the unmanned aerial vehicles is the first he can remember consisting of police officers and firefighters.

“We have SWAT medics, but this is actually the only team I can think of that it’s a public safety team manning these drones. Any other department in the city can ask for the (team to deploy the drones) if they need these,” Batalis said.

“The fire and police got together and talked about it, and it was a budgetable item, and we decided it was a tool we desperately need.

“It definitely enhances both the po-

lice and fire side. It’s a public safety team. The city owns (the drones), but the team is comprised of public safety members.”

LPD and LFD also can use the drones to assist neighboring departments, if needed.

“It’s very nice to be able to have something we can also assist other agencies, since we were dependent on them,” Batalis said. “We were constantly borrowing ladder trucks and engines, but now we are at the point where we are loaning stuff out to other departments. It’s nice to repay the favors to other agencies if they request them.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Ultimatum warriors

Improve our waters

Commentary by Terry Anker The world is filled with experts.

Many have trained for years, studied a craft and experienced much through trial and error. We look to them for insight. And then, there are the other authorities. They opine endlessly about all manner and topic. Their wisdom, it seems, is boundless. Alas, the root of this tremendous insight springs from some genetic font. They aren’t trained, or especially experienced, but they are all too willing to claim to be.

It is said that the most dangerous among us are not those who know nothing or have never read a book. Neither are those who know much and have read extensively.

The greatest risk comes from those who know something, have read one thing and have extrapolated this piece into believing they see the entire puzzle. “Name That Tune” pitted contestants on 1970s television to identify a song using as few notes as possible. Suffice it to say, a single note, other than the occasional wild guess, never could prevail – much like trying to guess the word intended here with simply the letter “t.”

Well, know-it-alls are not new to the world. But social media has fueled their intolerance. Expressing a point of view about complex global or interpersonal issues, extolling 25 or 30 words to round-out their epistle, they, like some ultimatum warrior, then lay down the gauntlet. If any reader doesn’t understand and agree summarily, then they are no longer a friend. Really? Lifelong supporters, colleagues and the folks who gave us life are dismissed in an instant. Doesn’t it all seem a little excessive (even needy)?

All hail the hero Commentary by Danielle Wilson What a week I had, friends! I was basically a hero on two separate occasions, thanks to my keen maternal and intuitive superpowers.

My first amazing feat was HUMOR consoling a student actively vomiting in my classroom trash can while simultaneously reviewing how the Declaration of Independence was nearly defeated. I know, right? I have gifts! Oscillating between “You’re OK, get it all up” and “Remember, the South wanted no mention of slavery,” I transfixed students with my dual message: “I care for you all like you were my own kids” and “Pay attention, this is important!” Of course, it might have been the barfing that was riveting their eyes to me, but still. I was a veritable Wonder Woman of the multitask.

My second foray into the world-saving business came a few days later. I stopped to offer help after watching a car drive straight into a metal railing. As I approached the

vehicle, I saw the driver banging his steering wheel, clearly frustrated but seemingly unhurt. Another bystander and I shouted at the same time, “Are you alright?” The driver emerged from the smoking wreck, responded, “Yeah, I’m fine,” and then walked off. Just walked away. Perplexed and trusting my gut that something was wrong, I called 911 to relay the details (I make a terrible witness, BTW. The only thing I was positive about was that the car was red. Or maybe orange.

Light brown?). That afternoon, I learned the red/orange/brown automobile had been stolen! I’d sensed a crime in play and interrupted grand larceny! Ka-pow!

So sleep easy, citizens of Indy Suburbia.

You have a real hero on your side.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.”

— J.D. Salinger

Editor, The recent Indiana Water Summit and preSummit forums created a designated space for critical, integrated water conversations that will protect Indiana’s shared water future. Three key actions will lead the way.

Continue to educate the public and build public will. Safe and ample water is needed to make our dinners, bathe our children and keep our industries running. The essential roles that water plays in our daily lives make it imperative that we purposefully spotlight the irreplaceable value of our water supply and garner support for community-based conservation strategies.

Switch to conservative farming practices for win-wins. A panel of award-winning farmers at the summit explained how their soil health strategies have increased net profits by $57.76 per acre since switching to conservation farming practices.

Plan and prepare for water crises now. Flooding was identified as the largest looming concern. There is an urgent need for Indiana to elevate the value it places on floodplains, wetlands and more sustainable stormwater management practices to reduce the risks we face.

The White River Alliance plans to continue to facilitate critical cooperation through future regional forums and the third Water Summit event in 2020. To get involved, visit thewhiteriveralliance.org.

Got something on my chest Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Some spam messages I receive on a regular basis are for products I can’t disclose in this newspaper. However, HUMOR I started receiving unusual emails about unmentionables, and I am going to mention those: Wonderbra, Super-Lift Bra and my favorite, Bra Genie.

Why was a guy like me getting stuff like this? I tried red-flagging keywords so this type of advertising would go directly to my spam folder, but all it did was block some really good coupons for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

While discussing this issue with friends, I found it impossible to avoid immature plays on words, like: “I want to keep abreast of this problem,” or, “Who are the boobs sending me this junk?” There is nothing more alluring than easy double entendres.

I called my techie friend and told him I had this problem that was staring me smack in the face. He responded, “Dick, it sounds like you need some support.”

“Oh no, Kevin, now you’re doing it!” He couldn’t help me, so it was time to figure this out myself. Not long ago, I wrote an essay about how I was trying to get fit. I

mentioned I was in relatively good shape, except that my chest needed a little development.

The column appeared in this newspaper, on Facebook, and then all the search engines. Apparently, my observation that I was unhappy with my chest found its way to brassiere makers who added me to their database of people displeased with their upper half.

As I was writing this column, I printed all the spam ads so I could reference them easily. When Mary Ellen was poking around my office, she saw the pages on my desk and assumed that either I thought she needed a Bra Genie, or I wanted to order one for myself. Neither alternative was going to lead to a conversation I wanted to have.

When I explained to Mary Ellen why I was getting spammed, I admitted I had looked at several of the bra ads. I also vowed to stop making childish puns. It was good to get all that off my chest.

Put driving boredom in jeapordy - More than 55 years after making its television debut, “Jeopardy!” continues to hold a prominent place in popular culture. Recently, James Holzhauer went on a 32-game winning streak, coming just $58,484 short of beating all-time champion (and Mental Floss contributor) Ken Jennings’ $2.52 million winnings. If only Holzhauer had an app to practice with during the drive to the studio. Now, thanks to Drivetime, future contestants and general trivia enthusiasts have that opportunity. The service just launched a “Jeopardy!” add-on that allows players to answer questions from the first 35 seasons of the show using Drivetime’s voicebased, hands-free interface. A new show will be available to Drivetime users daily. If they subscribe for $9.99 monthly, they can choose any show from past seasons. Questions are read by host Alex Trebek in both archival and recently taped audio. The game offers one tweak for civilians: As each clue is read, the app offers three possible responses, turning it into a multiple-choice quiz. Money is still accrued and you can still wager on Final Jeopardy to walk away with a victory.

That’s thanks in part to a crowded Democratic presidential field and to President Donald Trump, who is e­ xpected to attract more donations as an incumbent and spend much more on his re-election campaign than he did on the first campaign.

Beyond the boost from presidential campaigns, local TV broadcasters are also good investments beyond 2020. They continue to grow through acquisitions, scooping up weaker players in the wake of the FCC’s 2017 rollback of rules designed to limit singlecompany control of many local broadcast properties. Also, political ads tend to be revenue windfalls every two years due to elections for the U.S. Congress. And 2022 will see TV-ad spending for 36 governor races, up from 11 in 2020.

New lung cancer therapy — Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the country, but a new treatment, called immunotherapy, is giving hope to lung cancer patients because of its recent success. Lung cancer is poorly recognized by the immune system, which delays diagnosis until patients are at stage 3 or 4, when it’s too late. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit lung.org.

Playhouse takes aim at ‘Liberty Valance’

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Veronique Duprey has directed several productions at Westfield Playhouse. But her latest project, “The Man THEATER Who Shot Liberty Valance,” is notable, if not exceptional, for several reasons.

For example, the play is adapted from Dorothy M. Johnson’s original 1953 short story, not the 1962 John Ford movie starring John Wayne and James Stewart. And, it’s Duprey’s first time directing adult actors.

And, the show is making its Indiana premiere.

“It’s a story of hope and love and how people react to change, all the universal themes,” said Duprey, a Fishers resident who has directed several children’s productions at Westfield Playhouse. “I am excited to bring it to the area.”

A Main Street Productions presentation, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” begins an eight-show run Sept. 27 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. St. Rd. 32, Westfield.

The final show is Oct. 13.

Set in a small Western town in 1890, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” is a classic tale of good versus evil, with themes of love, hope and revenge. The story centers on Ransome Foster, a young

scholar from New York City who refuses to back down from outlaw Liberty Valance, setting the stage for a deadly showdown with the notorious gunman who terrorizes the town.

“It is a Western, which I like, but since it cannot rely on horses and landscapes, it relies on its thoughtful dialogue to convey all its drama,” Duprey said. “The script offers fantastic opportunities for actors to really show off their skills.”

Lawrence resident Sabrina Duprey, an award-winning actor who has performed in more than 35 productions across Indiana, plays Hallie Jackson, the young proprietor of the town’s Prairie Belle saloon, the center of activity and much of the ensuing friction.

Sabrina Duprey enjoys the challenges of playing the complex character.

“Throughout the play, you see Hallie become softer and more ladylike,” said Sabrina Duprey, the director’s daughter.

“Portraying those changes in a realistic way has been a challenging balance, but it’s very rewarding to see where she started and where she ends up.”

Sabrina Duprey also is a fan of the story.

“Westerns are not a genre that is done often, so it was really fun being able to go to that time period,” she said. “But unlike some of the old Western films, this show isn’t cliche or cheesy. It’s extremely well-

written and is definitely an ‘actor’s show.’

“The dialogue is exquisite. and the characters and their feelings are very realistic.”

Creating realism was Veronique Duprey’s top staging priority.

“For the play to feel authentic, costumes and props needed to be timeappropriate,” she said. “I worked hard on my research as a costumer to avoid things that were not of the right period. Fortunately, one of our actors had access to a collection of authentic guns and replicas from the period, and we chose to use blanks rather than sound effects to be as authentic as possible.”

Joining Sabrina Duprey in the eightperson main cast are Matt Hartzburg (Indianapolis) as Ransome Foster; R.C. Thorne (Fishers) as Bert Barricune; Xavier Jones (Indianapolis) as Jim “The Reverend” Mosten; Adam Davis (Elwood) as Liberty Valance; Kevin Shadle (Fishers) as Marshal Johnson; Cody Holloway (Noblesville) as Jake Dowitt/Deputy; and narrator Tom Smith (Westfield).

The play, written by Jethro Compton based on Johnson’s short story, contains loud gunshots and strong language.

“My first goal is for the audience to enjoy the play,” Veronique Duprey said. “But I also hope they can find in this piece important messages about acceptance and the honor that lies in self-sacrifice.”

The Actors Theatre of Indiana will hold a new fundraiser called “Cocktails, Comedy, Costumes” at 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 5 at Ritz Charles, 12156 N. Meridian St., Carmel. ATI is celebrating its 15th season.

The concept was created by ATI supporter Barb Hammer.

Christine Reppert, an ATI board member, is overseeing the fundraiser. The show is designed by ATI founders Don Farrell, Cynthia Collins and Judy Fitzgerald.

The central question of the event is, “Who will model the Million Dollar Quintet Blazers?”

Area residents will model Broadway costumes during the evening. Some of the models include Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and Carmel City Councilors Kevin Rider, Jeff Worrell and Bruce Kimball. Carmel Fire Dept.

Chief David Haboush and Fox59 reporter Sherman Burdette also will participate.

Proceeds benefit ATI and the Student Theater Education Program.

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville mid-century basement Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: Water damage from flooding prompted the remodeling of this Zionsville basement, built in 1988 in Coventry Ridge subdivision.

THE INSPIRATION The design was inspired by the homeowner’s treasured family photos, which showed grandparents and extended family members enjoying parties in their 1950s basement.

After

THE SOLUTION 1. Gorgeous teal blue cabinetry provides storage at the entertainment center and bar.

2. The throwback color is accentuated by a complimentary retro-red paint above the bar. The stairs (not shown) are carpeted in red.

3. A custom, bar-height table separates the seating area from the pool table and bar.

4. The wood-panelled ceiling above the pool table wraps around the window to provide warmth and style.

5. Vintage lighting above the pool table makes a perfect period statement.

6. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of wood with the benefit of being waterand scratch-resistant.

Who are you calling an idiom?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Some people take things literally. Kleptomaniacs take things, literally.

Literalists aren’t fans of idioms.

GRAMMAR GUY Idioms are phrases with figurative meanings; they aren’t intended to be taken literally. Believe it or not, my friend, Byron, tends to take things literally; so, when I suggest we “paint the town red” on Friday night, he goes to his garage to get his paint rollers.

Idioms are designed to express a sentiment, feeling or an idea. If I said, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” I’m not claiming to be a chicken or egg farmer; instead, I’m suggesting that you shouldn’t count on something before it has come into reality. In the same way, when I say, “Curiosity killed the cat,” I’m certainly not suggesting that NASA’s Mars rover murdered a cat; I’m suggesting that it’s dangerous to be too curious.

An idiom is a type of figurative language. The point of figurative language is to make your speech or writing more impactful or effective. Other types of figurative language include euphemisms, metaphors, similes, hyperbole, personification and my favorite puns. In fact, idioms exist in most languages. This isn’t just another tricky English construction that makes our language hard to learn.

One of my favorite idioms is, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” While I don’t agree literally with this statement, its figurative truth holds up to scrutiny. We shouldn’t judge people at face value; instead, we should look “under the hood,” so to speak, and get to know them better before we draw any conclusions.

The only literal thing that costs an arm and a leg is going swimming with hungry sharks. As an idiom, however, something that costs “an arm and a leg” is merely incredibly expensive. The same idea goes for “robbing the cradle.”

You’re not stealing a baby, but instead, when someone says this she means that you are marrying someone significantly younger than you.

Destroying Hatshepsut’s soul

Commentary by Don Knebel

Hatshepsut was a female ruler of Egypt. Her successors set out to destroy not only memories of her but her very existence.

Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the TRAVEL daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. Upon the death of Thutmose I, his son, Thutmose II, became pharaoh. When Thutmose II died in 1479 B.C., his 2-year-old son, Thutmose III, became pharaoh, with his aunt Hatshepsut as his regent. After a few years, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh, dressing as a man, wearing a false beard strapped around her head and engaging in a massive building program unmatched for centuries.

Hatshepsut erected four huge obelisks at Karnak, the enormous temple complex near modern Luxor, two of which were 97 feet tall, each carved from a single block of granite. She built the Red Chapel of red quartzite to hold the barque (boat) priests used to transport the statue of the god Amun around the complex. She built the Palace of Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice and order, one wall of which included an image of Hatshepsut being anointed pharaoh by the gods.

When Hatshepsut died in about 1458 B.C., Thutmose III again became pharaoh. He destroyed the Red Chapel, replacing it with one honoring him. Believing that Hatshepsut’s soul, or ka, could survive in the afterlife in her images, Thurmose III (or perhaps his successors) destroyed or obliterated images and statues of Hatshepsut, including her image in the Palace of Ma’at.

Successors removed Hatshepsut’s name from lists of pharaohs. As a result, Hatshepsut’s extraordinary reign was unknown until the 20th century, when archaeologists reconstructed it from images overlooked for CITY OF FISHERS BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING VA-19-29 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the City of Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals at 6:00 PM, Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019 in the Fishers City Hall building, One Municipal Drive, Fishers, Indiana.
