City council OKs 0.1% 911 tax

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

they owe, with $50,000 due in 2019 and the amount increasing by 10 percent each year until they are paying the full amount.

In the meantime, the county will fund the difference.

Instead of municipalities paying their portion, Hamilton County will collect and distribute funding. Although Westfield, nor any other city or town, will not receive revenue, the four cities will save money.

In 2019, Westfield paid $859,195.62 for 911 dispatch services. In the future, that money can now be used elsewhere in the city budget.

Hamilton County stands to receive approximately $3 million in revenue, according to Mike Howard, who serves as the attorney for the Hamilton County Commissioners and City of Noblesville.

“There have been some questions about how this will raise revenue when combined with the phone fees that generate a little over $3 million a year. I think in Hamilton County, we proved about a year ago that we have an A1 operation, and we sure want to keep it that way,” said Howard, referencing the May 25, 2018 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School. “There are some substantial costs coming up. The (communications) center that is in the lower level of the jail, they’re outgrowing that rapidly.

The demand for services from our population increases every day. In addition, there are new software systems that can be out there that aren’t (currently) in the budget.”

The one-tenth of 1 percent increase means that a person annually earning $50,000 will pay $50 more per year.

The tax increase will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

Editor’s note: Ann Marie Shambaugh contributed to this report.

Following in Fishers’ footsteps, the Westfield City Council approved a resolution for a 0.1 percent local PUBLIC SAFETY income tax increase to help fund 911 dispatching in Hamilton County at its Sept. 23 meeting.

The town council of Arcadia, with a population of 1,600 people north of Cicero, recently voted in favor of the tax, triggering a process that required it to be voted on by the remaining seven Hamilton County city and town councils. To go into effect, councils representing more than half of the county’s population had to approve the tax increase.

Westfield represents 12.34 percent of the 50 percent threshold necessary to approve the county-wide increase. On Sept. 24, just one day after the Westfield council voted, the city council in Noblesville, which represents 17.4 percent, also approved the resolution, sealing the deal for the county-wide increase.

On Sept. 16, Fishers, representing 28.95 percent, voted in favor of the tax, and the Town of Atlanta, representing 0.24 percent, voted in favor at its Sept. 24 meeting.

As of press time, Carmel, which represents 29.11 percent, had not voted on the resolution, and Cicero, which represents 1.61 percent, was set to take a vote at its Sept.

26 meeting. Sheridan, representing 0.89 percent, will vote Oct. 2.

Technically, additional votes aren’t needed because Noblesville’s approval surpassed the 50 percent threshold, raising the overall approval to approximately 59 percent.

Historically, the county’s cities – the “big four” – have helped subsidize 911 service CALLS FOR SERVICE BY ENTITY for the small towns 2015 2016 2017 and townships, which Acadia 2,363 6,489 6,430 include Atlanta, Arcadia, Cicero, Jackson TownCarmel 73,485 91,166 90,915 ship, Sheridan, Wayne Cicero 6,217 5,680 5,228 Township and White River Township.

Fishers man sentenced for defrauding FDA news@currentinfishers.com Paul Elmer, 68, was sentenced to 33 months in prison and ordered CRIME to pay a $25,000 fine and serve one year of supervised release after serving his prison sentence for conspiring to defraud the Food and Drug Administration and for multiple counts of distributing adulterated drugs.

Elmer, a Fishers resident, was previously CEO and president of PharmakElmer on Pharmaceuticals, a drug compounding company based in Noblesville.

“Pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as Pharmakon, have a duty to ensure they are producing drugs that are formulated correctly and are safe for public consumption,” U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler stated in a press release. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to prosecuting those individuals who prioritize profit over safety and negligently compromise the integrity of their product.”

Elmer was convicted April 10 after an eight-day jury trial.

Pharmakon made and distributed compounded, sterile, intravenous drugs to military and civilian hospitals throughout the United States. Evidence at trial showed in February 2016, Pharmakon distributed 2,460 percent super-potent morphine sulfate, an opioid pain medication, to hospitals in Indianapolis and Chicago. Nurses at the Indianapolis hospital administered the drug, not knowing its potency, to infants in the pediatric unit, causing three infants to suffer adverse effects. One infant needed to be revived with Narcan and sent by medical helicopter to a nearby hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit.

“Producing unsafe drugs puts patients at risk and is particularly concerning when they reach already vulnerable populations such as premature infants. This conviction demonstrates that those, including drug compounders, who distribute harmful drugs will be held accountable under the law,” FDA Officer of Criminal Investigations Director Catherine A. Hermsen stated.

INDIANA FIRST LADY JANET HOLCOMB DIPS 250,000TH CARAMEL APPLE AT CONNER PRAIRIE

Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb ceremonially dips the 250,000th caramel apple at the Conner Prairie Apple Store. Also pictured, from left, are Kathleen House, Conner Prairie CEO Norman Burns and Kathy Bergman, president of the Conner Prairie Alliance. Holcomb was invited to visit the store Sept. 17 to help commemorate the milestone. The Apple Store is the primary fundraiser for its operator, the Conner Prairie Alliance. Founded in 1982, the Conner Prairie Alliance has raised more than $1.3 million for Conner Prairie. In 1985, the group opened the Apple Store. In 2018, the store sold more than 12,000 caramel apples and 1,024 gallons of apple cider. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cameron Pritchard has completed his mission that ACCOMPLISHMENT started with his initial introduction to Boy Scouts 12 years ago.

“I have wanted to be an Eagle Scout since my very first Cub Scout meeting,” he said. “I was a Cub Scout from first grade until crossing over into Boy Scouts in fifth grade. I have been working towards Eagle ever since becoming a Boy Scout. I lived in Switzerland in sixth through eighth grade, and I was in a Boy Scouts of America Troop there that was part of the Transatlantic Council.”

The University High School senior and Fishers resident turned to Stacey SummitMann, University’s director of campus and community, to get ideas for projects that would help the Carmel-based school.

“She gave me several ideas, and I picked building the picnic tables, so that full classes could be held in our outdoor classroom,” Pritchard said.

Pritchard built two octagonal picnic tables for the outdoor classroom. The ad-

ditional seating allows more students to have a comfortable place to sit during classes.

With the help of eight volunteers made up of family, fellow Scouts and troop adults, Pritchard finished the Eagle Scout project Sept. 22, 2018. The school began using the tables immediately.

“I have since then finished up the final badges I needed, completed my Eagle handbook and had my board of review,” he said.

Pritchard’s Court of Honor was scheduled for Sept. 29 at Holy Family Episcopal Church in Fishers, which is the home of his Troop 199.

And that pizza box with grease spots?

Wishful recycling – This is a common issue that presents itself in almost every load. The garden hose, Styrofoam, window glass, cookware, batteries, landscape waste, etc. All these things and more are commonly put in recycling but they are not processed through the standard comingled recycling stream. If you want to be certain of an item’s acceptability in your recycling program, refer to your recycling contractor’s website. And for the Hamilton County recycling compactors? That information is posted on the County Household Hazardous Waste webpage. Visit HamiltonCounty. in.gov Here is the bottom line: “When in doubt, throw it out!”

DISPATCH FPD warns residents of telephone scams – Recently, the Fishers Police Dept. has investigated several types of telephone scams.

One of the most recent scams involved a person impersonating a DEA Agent accusing the person of being involved in an illegal drug investigation and demanding they send gift cards in order to clear their name. Many of these telephone scammers instruct the victim to stay on the phone, not tell anyone of the conversation and travel to a store and purchase gift cards or green dot cards for a certain amount. There have been some Fishers residents that have lost thousands of dollars. Here are a few safety tips to follow if contacted by a possible telephone scam should follow if you are contacted by a possible telephone scammer: Immediately hang up the phone if you do not recognize or know the caller, never give out personal information, remember no legitimate company or organization requires payment via gift cards or green dot cards, no law enforcement agency threatens to arrest people over the phone and contact the local law enforcement agency, however most telephone scams originate from overseas and are very difficult, if not impossible, to trace.

Bar crawl to fundraise for Westfield firefighter with cancer

By Maria Cook news@currentinfishers.com On Oct. 12, the Wendy L. Hudson Appendix Cancer Awareness Foundation EVENT will conduct its third annual #Cancersucks Bar Crawl in Fishers. The event is a fundraiser for Westfield firefighter Chris Dickover, who is battling prostate cancer, and will include a 50/50 raffle to raise funds for breast cancer survivor Tarena Lewis.

The Wendy L. Hudson Appendix Cancer Awareness Foundation is a nonprofit named in honor of Wendy L. Hudson, a Fishers resident. Hudson died from appendix cancer in 2018.

The foundation’s CEO Jennifer Haslett said the bar crawl will begin at 2 p.m. and

will include a march down 116th Street in honor of loved ones affected by cancer.

“We’ll start off at Wolfie’s on 96th (Street) and Hague (Road) at 2 p.m. and we’ll be there roughly one hour,” Haslett said. “Then we’ll go to Four Day Ray Brewing from 3 to 4, then at 4 we’ll march down 116th with picket signs in honor of loved ones affected by cancer. Then we march to our final destination, which is Chatham Tap.” Haslett said more than 100 people will likely participate and that the foundation wants to surpass the $7,000 it raised in 2018. To register, visit facebook.com/ events/849464662114548/. Registration is $40 and includes a T-shirt, two raffle tickets and a sign for the march down 116th Street.

Additional raffle tickets may be purchased at the event for $20.

BIG BIRTHDAY

Congregation members pray during a service. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

County’s oldest, continuous congregation celebrates 175 years in Fishers

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Bethleham United Methodist Church has been a part of Fishers’ COVER STORY community fabric for 175 years. The congregation has members who have attended for more than seven decades and others who have been members for only one year.

Congregation members old and new are planning a month-long celebration to commemorate the church’s 175th birthday.

Founded in 1844 by eight founding families, members originally met in their homes.

Eventually, a log church was constructed on the east side of Olio Road, and then in 1851, a wood-frame church was built on the west side of Olio Road near today’s approximate site at 13550 Olio Rd. In 1912, the church building was shifted and turned but remained on the same plot of land. It has been renovated on occasion but still has its original pews from 1851.

BUMC administrative board chair and seven-year member Pat Johnston said church members have been planning a 175-year celebration for approximately six months.

“We are both the oldest continuous congregation in Hamilton County and operating in the oldest continuously used house of worship,” Johnston said. “That’s a big deal, to be 175 years continuously.”

The board planned four events to commemorate the milestone. The first was held in September. Member Gordon Woosley gave a lecture and presented a slideshow and tour of the church cemetery. “(Gordon Woosley) is interested in history and genealogy, so he took it upon himself to go out to the cemetery and look at the dates on the graves, who they represented and how they related to one another,” Johnston said. “He spent six months doing an extensive search, using things like Ancestry.com and various censuses looking into each stone. He found out how they were connected to one another and who they were in the world.”

More than 60 people attended the cemetery tour. Some were descendents of BUMC’s founding families. The cemetery’s first burial was in 1851. The most recent was in 2018.

The second event is Oct. 5. The church’s

youth members will give away 175 new Bibles in the church parking lot from noon to 2 p.m. Children’s, teen’s and large-print Spanish language versions will be available.

The third event will be a free hog roast from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 12 in the church parking lot. The menu will include pulled pork, baked beans, slaw, potato chips and desserts. Live gospel music will be performed

throughout the event. Conner Prairie will provide interpreters and children’s games reminiscent of the 1850 time period.

At 10 a.m. Oct. 13, District Supt. Rev. Chris Nunley will preside a regularly scheduled worship service.

For more, visit bethlehemumc-fishersin. org.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Besides celebrating its past, Bethleham United Methodist Church Pastor Angela Gafford Asmus said the church also is planning for the future by engaging the next generation of congregants.

“We are celebrating this wonderful history and continuing to plan for whatever’s next,” Gafford Asmus said. “We are here to stay.”

Gafford Asmus said earlier this year, the church installed solar panels. Each year, the church also participates in Spark!Fishers (formerly Fishers Freedom Festival) by selling corn dogs to

raise money for local and international missions.

Renovations have been done to the church throughout the years, including the remodeling of the main sanctuary in 2015.

“It was mostly cosmetic and changing the configurations of the pews,” member Pat Johnston said. “Then we added the stained-glass windows, which were salvaged from another church.”

The stained-glass came from a Methodist church in Royal Center.

Protect our Second Amendment

Commentary by Terry Anker Do little kids still learn to ride bikes? There was a time, not so long ago in America, when every child had a bicycle and knew how to ride it. Outside the small-town pharmacy with the soda fountain, there would be a pile of them strewn on the sidewalk, as if their owners couldn’t wait to park them properly before rushing to the candy counter. But today, one is more likely to see the youngsters piling out of the family SUV with some patient adult texting away while sitting on the front seat.

Is it that we have more time to deliver them to their many obligations? Is it that they are too tired from travel soccer? Is it that rising crime leads us to fear allowing them to bike or walk to the corner store? Is it that the corner store has been replaced with some behemoth retail outlet where one needs a bicycle to manage the aisles rather than one to get there?

Regardless the reason, these small humans have stopped pedaling.

Maybe it is a good thing. Isn’t it always better to get a ride than walk? Isn’t it always better to be a passenger than in charge? Well, maybe not so much. What is being taken away from our kids in our generous desire to “help” them?

What skill is not being developed?

What confidence is not being found? Without unnecessarily waxing poetic about the halcyon days of yore, we did learn that a bent nail can repair a broken bicycle chain in a pinch. And, we all knew that we had to get home before the tire went completely flat or we’d be walking. Maybe it is not a video game, but isn’t it something?

Not missing toddler time Commentary by Danielle Wilson Oh, my goodness, I can’t tell you how happy I am not to be pregnant and/or raising toddlers. Wait. Who am I kidding? Of course I can tell you!

A friend of mine is in labor HUMOR as I type. First baby, doesn’t know what she’s having, she’s been simultaneously excited and terrified. I’ve watched her go from “looking pregnant” to having to elevate her swollen feet after waddling a short ways, hand to lower back. She’s had to consider pediatricians and car seats and finding the perfect name that satisfies not only her and her husband but also her parents and in-laws, and one that won’t be associated with the next Hollywood scandal.

She’s learned Lamaze and built a crib and survived awkward baby showers, all without the help of caffeine or booze. And now, after 10 months, she’s literally birthing that little miracle through the sheer superpower of womanhood. I’m exhausted just writing this

paragraph.

And that’s only the beginning. Soon, that precious angel will start to walk and talk and attempt to scale the pantry shelves. My youngest sister was visiting with her kiddos, 3 and newly 5, and I couldn’t help but flash back to my own era with preschoolers.

Sugar-induced tantrums, the battle over bedtimes, lost woobies, poopy pants … the horror! Sure, the wine helps, but keeping those rugrats alive and on the path to eventual home ownership is a constant source of anxiety and sleepless nights. Teenagers bring their own set of worries, but at least you can ship them off to boarding school.

I can’t tell you how great it is to be past this nonsense!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” — Walt Disney

Editor, Our Second Amendment is under fire and being attacked. Our forefathers had great foresight ability with what could happen in the future after fighting off the British rule.

This amendment was so important that it came in second after the first amendment.

I am so grateful for their brilliance in this conception.

Today, America is experiencing mass shootings along with individual shootings across the country. I ask, why is this happening now? I grew up in the ’50s and ’60s and we did not experience this. We felt safe.

Is it because the men of then were allowed to be men and would stop such nonsense in its tracks versus people of today being afraid to stand up for what is right when it comes to protecting themselves?

There is an undercurrent which is raising its ugly head in slowly trying to disarm the American citizenry, especially law-abiding gun owners. The Democratic candidates running for president of the United States tout their dislike of firearms and share what they will do if elected president. Why do they want to harm innocent gun owners?

If you are an American citizen, what are you going to do to protect the right of the Second Amendment?

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

Articulating pandiculation Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Pandiculation is the act of yawning. I’ve always found it embarrassing. I’ll be talking to someone and suddenly find HUMOR myself yawning. That’s when the guy will say, “I’m not boring you, am I?” Here’s my response: “Not at all. People yawn when the pressure in their ears differs from the outside pressure, or from the partial collapse of the air sacs in their lungs, prompting the brain to make them yawn, thus getting more oxygen into the lungs.”

“OK, Dick, now you’re boring me.”

My cat always yawns when she sees me (your pets do the same thing to you, don’t they? Please tell me they do). When I used to get undressed with my dog in the room, he’d take a look, and then he’d yawn. I tried not to take it personally.

My wife doesn’t yawn much, which I thought was evidence of what a snappy conversationalist I am, but at times she exhibits paralinguistic respiration — meaning she sighs audibly. Unlike most cinema reviewers who employ either the thumbs-up or five-star criteria, Mary Ellen practices the sigh standard, exhibited most often when I

drag her to a film she doesn’t want to see.

Years ago, at an Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, she sighed so many times the man next to us thought she was in cardiac arrest and called 911.

Unlike a sigh, a yawn is involuntary. I was at a wedding and I desperately tried to suppress a yawn to not appear rude or uninterested. My face got all twisted and scrunched, but I managed to successfully incorporate the words “I do” into my pandiculation. Even the minister was impressed.

Scientists studied research volunteers who had been deprived of sleep and were asked to read a boring news article with an ice pack on top of their head. Very few yawned. I don’t know who paid for this study, but I wish they’d instead spent that money to find a cure for my gout.

I hope you think this column was worth reading. Personally, I don’t think it’s anything to sternutate at. You can look that one up. But here’s a hint: Gesundheit!

IU Health staff doctors up county park for day of service

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Staff from IU Health North and Saxony hospitals spent time GIVING BACK Sept. 20 performing a day of service at Geist Park in Fishers. Staff members planted trees and a rain garden and beautified trails, repaired picnic tables, spread mulch and built shelters during the 11th annual event.

“We do a great job inside our walls, and this is a way of helping the community by creating a way to have access to trails and lead a healthy lifestyle,” IU Health Regional President Doug Puckett said. “Part of our Community Health Needs Assessment identified obesity as a key issue, and we also know from research that people who regularly use parks have lower-than-average obesity rates.”

Approximately 150 staff members, who divided into two groups and worked one shift each, participated in the day of service.

Carl Zenor, a senior project manager for IU Health Saxony in Fishers, has participated in all 11 day of service events.

“It’s awesome to be able to give back to

the community,” Zenor said. “We spend so much time helping patients within the walls of the hospital, but to be able to go out and do something for a community that doesn’t always see us is a good effort.”

The occasion marked the hospital’s first time working in Geist Park. Previously, it has sent volunteer groups to Cool Creek Park in Westfield and Coxhall Gardens in Carmel.

Puckett said there were projects at each hospital for staff members who couldn’t participate in the day of service, such as putting milkweed seed packets together and painting kindness rocks.

Master Yoo’s moves studio

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Master Yoo’s Tae Kwon Do and Family Martial Arts has moved GROWTH its Fishers studio to 12350 Olio Rd. Classes begin this month.

“The community response has been overwhelmingly positive (since opening the first Fishers location opened), and it didn’t take long to find that we needed a bigger space for our students and families,” said Eunsoo Yoo, head master instructor of Fishers Master Yoo’s Tae Kwon Do. “We have been looking for a space to expand and finally found the lot in front of Crosspoint Church.”

Yoo said the new facility will provide a spacious environment for students and families to train. The training rooms will feature Olympic-quality mats, men’s and women’s changing rooms and viewing areas for parents and families to observe classes.

“First and foremost, we are excited about being able to better serve our current students who live in Fishers, Geist and McCordsville,” Yoo said. “Second, we

are very excited about the outstanding new facility and the possibilities it gives our school for future programing that we have not previously been able to provide to the community.”

Master Yoo’s Tae Kwon Do offers classes for ages 4-5, 6-12, teenagers and adults.

There also are family classes available for family members who like to train sideby-side. Yoo said the benefits of taking classes are that children can gain focus, confidence, self-discipline and respect.

Adults can improve physical fitness, relieve stress and learn self-defense.

Snyder returns after long hiatus to perform as Donna in Civic Theatre’s ‘Mamma Mia!’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Kara Snyder heard Civic Theatre was presenting “Mamma Mia!,” she knew it was time to return to the MUSICAL stage.

“It’s been 15 years since I’ve been on stage doing anything in theater,” Snyder said. “I really love this show.

There are not that many opportunities for shows that I feel I will be a good fit for.”

The Westfield resident, who took a break from acting to raise her four children, will perform as Donna in the musical, which runs Oct. 4 to 19 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The musical centers on Donna’s daughter, Sophie, who wants to learn the identity of her father on the eve of her wedding.

Her pursuit of the identity brings three men back to the Greek Islands, where they hadn’t been for 20 years.

Snyder said she was in a couple of Civic Theatre shows 15 to 20 years ago.

Snyder said she was even more excited to work on “Mamma Mia!” when she found out Anne Beck was the director and choreographer. Snyder had worked on previous shows when Beck was the music director.

“I directed and choreographed the show last year for Zionsville (Community) High School and was able to learn there was much more to it than the excellent music of ABBA,” said Beck, a Fishers resident.

“It has grown to be a favorite after diving into its script more and more because there are so many themes people of all ages can relate to.”

Beck said the challenge with “Mamma Mia!” is giving equal emphasis to the huge amount of musical numbers and meaty script for Donna’s story and Sophie’s journey.

“With ‘Mamma Mia!’ being an iconic film, more patrons have seen it over the Broadway show,” Beck said. “It is important to make this show our version, let this cast shine, create our own Greek chorus that enhances the story and its characters,

Artisan to demonstrate skills

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Sylvia Gray is a full-time artist who is skilled in a variety of painting mediums. Oil on canvas is one specialty.

PAINTING Dye on silk is another.

“I enjoy creating and seeing what happens when the dye or paint flow on the silk or canvas,” said Gray, a Westfield resident and juried Indiana Artisan since 2012. “I find that part of (my) work very relaxing.”

Gray will perform a live demonstration of silk painting during a pair of free events this month at the Indiana Artisan gift shop in Carmel, 22 N. Range Line Rd. The first, “4 Artists, 3 Brushes & 1 Harp,” will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 12 in the garden next to the store. The second, “Tie One On,” will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 13 inside the store.

Some — perhaps many — people believe fervently it’s not kosher to begin a sentence with “so.” I’m here to advocate for the use of “so” as an acceptable sentence starter. If this is a deal-breaker for the relationship between you and me, then I agree that it’s time for us to start seeing other people.

“So” is a coordinating conjunction. This type of conjunction’s prime purpose is to join other sentence elements that go together. In case you’re wondering, it’s easy to remember English’s seven coordinating conjunctions — just remember “fanboys.” Fanboys stands for “for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so.” So, if this type of conjunction joins related parts of a sentence, how is it acceptable to start a sentence with one? I thought you’d never ask.

According to the Chicago Manual of Style, “There is a widespread belief — one with no historical or grammatical foundation — that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so. In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions. It has been so for centuries, and even the most conservative grammarians have followed this practice.”

While we could probably connect sentences that begin with “so” to prior sentences with semicolons to show the connection between the two thoughts, we don’t need to do this in everyday speech. If you’re addressing the U.N., maybe try to avoid starting a sentence with “so.” Otherwise, you have my permission to “so” away.

DISPATCH Fresher bread — If you refrigerate bread to keep it longer, you’re actually shortening its life. When bread is stored in a refrigerator, the cold causes the starches to recrystallize and harden so it gets stale more quickly than at warmer temperatures. Freezing, however, dramatically slows the process down. Bread should be stored at room temperature for only a few days, or frozen for longer storage.

Life of the beautiful Sisi

Commentary by Don Knebel

Most visitors to Austria and Hungary soon learn about Elisabeth, the beautiful and troubled Empress of Austria and Queen of TRAVEL Hungary widely known as Sisi.

Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie was born in Munich in 1837 to a Bavarian duke and his wife. She had received little formal education when, unknown at age 15, the 5-foot-8 Sisi caught the eye of Franz Joseph I, the 23-year-old Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. Engaged five days after their meeting, they married eight months later in Vienna. The royal court began distributing paintings and busts of the carefree and energetic young queen, claiming that she was the most beautiful woman in Europe. Sisi took this claim seriously, with courtesans spending up to two hours a day arranging her ankle-length dark hair. She reduced her natural 18-inch waist using an imported leather corset that took an hour to lace up. Her ballroom gown with a 16-inch waist is on display at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Despite having four children in rapid succession, she maintained her weight by fasting and constant exercise, weighing herself at least three times a day.

Sisi hated the restricted life in the palace and went on long trips, often

to Hungary, which she adored. When her 2-year-old daughter Sophie died in 1857, she entered a period of depression from which she never fully recovered. The depression deepened in 1889 when Crown Prince Rudolf, her only son, died in a suicide pact with his mistress. As Sisi’s beauty faded with age, she avoided public appearances, often traveling incognito. On one such visit to Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in 1898, an anarchist
