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.

‘SEMPER VIGILANS’ Civil Air Patrol cadet squadron learns maturity, leadership, drill

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Civil Air Patrol Lt. Col. Frank Merrill said he believes it’s imperative COVER STORY that future generations understand the importance of aerospace science.

That’s why the Lawrence resident has been the facilitator for the Titan Cadet squadron of the Civil Air Patrol at McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology since 2014. The Titan Cadet Squadron started as an after-school club in 2006.

“All of the technologies we use, it all started with aerospace research,” Merrill said.

“The ballpoint pen started with aerospace research. It’s vital that young people, all people, but it’s vital young people appreciate the importance of aviation, of aerospace technology, of emerging technology all around us.”

Civil Air Patrol is the official civilian volunteer auxiliary of the United States Air Force.

The school squadron provides an opportunity for sophomores, juniors and seniors at Lawrence North and Lawrence Central high schools to register for the Civil Air Patrol class for a credit toward their Core 40 graduation requirement.

“We follow the Civil Air Patrol cadet program, where young men and women learn self-discipline, military customs and courtesies, leadership, self-confidence, physical fitness, healthy lifestyle and learn to develop a moral character,” Merrill said. “Cadets work through 15 grades of promotion, from cadet airman to cadet colonel.”

Merrill said each level of promotion requires passing a written leadership test, a written aerospace test and participation in a moral leadership character development workshop. Cadets also must pass a physical test and a military drill test.

A cadet honor guard also is part of the program, and Merrill said it has presented the colors for several events.

“We present for the Geist Half Marathon, for Spark!Fishers, for the Lawrence Freedom Fest,” Merrill said. “We have posted for Monster Jam downtown. We have posted for the National Rifle Association convention.

We participate in laying wreaths on graves of veterans at Crown Hill National Cemetery on the second Saturday in December every year.”

Some students eventually join the United States Air Force or other branches of the military. Others go on to to study aerospace

engineering, while others take the class to learn discipline and dedication.

Within the Titan Cadet Squadron, students also participate in orientation flights at Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport in Fishers. Merrill earned his pilot’s license in 1974.

Students appreciate what they learn in the class.

“I decided to take this class because at first, I wanted to get some experience, some leadership experience, prior to joining the actual Army,” said Cadet Master Sgt. Kael Sherwood, a senior at Lawrence North who plans to attend college and enroll in ROTC.

“I’ve been taking this ever since sophomore year. The best lessons I’ve learned? I’ve learned how to handle responsibility. I know how to be a leader now, and I also know how to do drill.”

Cadet Second Lt. Shelby Wheeler, a Lawrence Central senior, plans to attend the U.S. Naval Academy and join the Marine Corps.

“Ever since (my) freshman year, I wanted to serve my country,” she said. “I’ve learned what it means to be a patriot. (Titan Cadet Squadron) will make you mature, and it’ll make you grow up.”

NATIONAL RECOGNITION Titan Cadet Squadron Lt. Col. Frank Merrill recently received national recognition when he received the Maj. Gen. Jeanne M. Holm Aerospace Education Officer of the Year award in August.

“Every year, every unit in Civil Air Patrol, there are 37 units across Indiana, every unit may recommend or nominate a person to be recognized with the award. I was chosen by the Indiana Wing as the aerospace education officer for

2018,” Merrill said. “Receiving the Indiana Wing award allowed me to compete with other recipients of other awards in the surrounding states in the Great Lakes Region. I was selected as Great Lakes Region recipient of the same award, and then receiving the regional award allowed me to be selected as (aerospace education officer at the national level) out of eight regions across the country.”

LETTER

Time passages

Henson has a great idea

Commentary by Terry Anker

Editor, I believe that the way that Ptolemy Henson (featured in the Sept. 10 edition of Current in Geist) is using his knowledge of STEM to run a free after-school science program for young kids is great. I can relate to him because my first interest in STEM was Minecraft, just like Ptolemy. On the other hand, I was in a STEM club at my elementary school, so I can imagine the fun that these kids are having. I really enjoyed reading your article from the magazine.

Ryan Bakx, Indianapolis

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.

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.

“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.

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,

So, here’s the truth about so Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt When your significant other starts a conversation with, “So, we need to talk,” you know it’s over. You immediately flip through the pages of your relaGRAMMAR GUY tionship, scanning for any glaring issues or things for which you should be sorry. You’re on the defensive. You might even think about who gets to keep which friend after the impending break-up.

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
