HSE recertified for clean air

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Board of Trustees on Oct. 23 received an ENVIRONMENT official recertification of its 2018 Clean Air Award, presented by the National Air Filtration Association in recognition of the use of high-efficiency filtration products and topnotch maintenance practices while also reducing overall operating costs.

Ernie Kelly, Kelly president of Filter Services of Indiana, presented the recertification.

“Some of the main criteria that is used is that the facility and maintenance department and the decisions that they make represent a 14 percent reduction in energy cost,” he said. “It also represented a 14 percent reduction in (carbon dioxide) emissions, 20 percent reduction in the final stage filter cost, and because the final stage filters last double the time of the previous filters that were being used, it actually cuts your labor, as well as your disposable cost, in half.”

In 2018, HSE was one of 32 institutions to receive the award. This year, it was one of 33.

“Only 24 of the 2018 class, one of them being Harvard University, were recertified,” Kelly said. “The class of 2019 had 33 recipients, one of them being Texas A&M University.”

Vernon Township Fire Station No. 3 recently installed a Safe Haven Baby Box at 600 Vitality Dr., Fortville. The box is positioned on the west side of the station and was installed Oct. 21. The fire station was chosen as a result of the 24/7 availability of paramedics at the station and also for the level of anonymity it provides. It is the 18th Safe Haven Baby Box in Indiana. The Safe Haven Law allows people to anonymously surrender their healthy newborn without fear of criminal prosecution.

Carl Bordenkecher served in the U.S. Navy from Jan. 8, 1945 to July 22, 1946 during and after World War II.

REMEMBERING THE WAR 92-year-old Lawrence resident reflects on WWII Navy service

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Carl Bordenkecher said four teenage boys who COVER STORY lived on his block enlisted in the military during World War II. It inspired him to do the same. Three of those neighbors never returned home.

“Everybody that was able wanted to go into service, including the women,” said Bordenkecher, a 92-year-old Lawrence resident who was a radio operator in the U.S. Navy. “Because at that time, anybody from age 21 to 24 had to go into the (military) if they were physically capable. They were drafted.”

Bordenkecher wasn’t quite old enough to be drafted, but he convinced his parents to sign enlistment papers. Choosing the Navy was easy for him.

“I had always wanted to be on the water, anyway, and so that’s why I wanted to go to the Navy,” he said.

As a radio operator, Bordenkecher copied Morse code.

“That’s all I can tell you,” he said.

“It’s classified.”

Bordenkecher served from Jan. 8, 1945 to July 22, 1946 and was stationed at the U.S. Naval Training Center in Sampson, N.Y., the U.S. Naval Station in Seattle, Wash., and the U.S. Naval Training Center in Gulfport, Miss. He also served on the the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier.

Bordenkecher has vivid memories of his service, specifically when the Saratoga was hit by a kamikaze in February 1945. The carrier had to be towed back to the United States for repairs. He also recalls steaming through a typhoon that lasted nearly two days.

“We were on board at sea in the South Pacific Ocean, and I began to wonder if this great big ship I was on was capable of making it through the typhoon. It was something else,” Bordenkecher said. “We were going from one side to the other side, to the other side again.”

Bordenkecher said in the hanger deck, where planes were repaired, plane parts broke loose and caused a “terrible racket that went on for some time.”

“That was the only time I ever used a hammock, because if you tried to sleep (in a bed), your head would go back and forth,” Bordenkecher said.

“It was pretty nasty. Everybody in the Navy has a hammock, but they hardly ever use it. I used it that night.”

Bordenkecher returned to the U.S. with a Victory Medal, an American Area Campaign Medal and an Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal.

Upon returning home, Bordenkecher married Mary Jo, and they had four daughters and two sons together.

“I tried to get the boys to go to the military, but they we were in that age

where they had long hair and they just didn’t want to go,” Bordenkecher said. “Now, both of them have some deep regrets about not going when they had an opportunity.

“I’m just glad I did what I did and it was OK with my folks that I went to the service.”

Bordenkecher does not consider himself a hero. He declares the troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy as the real heroes.

“I still have that opinion,” he said.

“It took a special person to do that.

They’re the heroes right there.”

CELEBRATING VETERANS U.S. Navy veteran Carl Bordenkecher applauds the way the City of Lawrence celebrates veterans.

“I think they do a real nice job on Veterans Day, and I don’t think anything more is needed,” he said.

Bordenkecher’s Veterans Day plan is to relax and enjoy the day.

In addition to celebrating the Nov. 11 national holiday, he participates

in year-round Navy events. He participated in a flag-raising ceremony Oct. 11 at the Lawrence Government Center to honor the 244th anniversary of the U.S. Navy. He also participated in an Indy Honor Flight in 2016. Indy Honor Flight transports veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials that honor their sacrifices.

ESSAY

LETTER

Referendum conundrum

Trump not a source of pride

Commentary by Terry Anker California nearly has bankrupted itself with referendums. All sorts of initiatives are brought to the ballot without much in the way of how those items might be financially supported. Good citizens evaluate the “worthiness” of the requests and vote accordingly. Without understanding context, or cost, voters leave state officials scrambling to pay for it all. Occasionally, the state’s Supreme Court will prevent the addition of a referendum to the ballot, like it did with a move by many citizens to divide the state into three distinct states. But generally, the initiatives go to the voters with many open questions.

Still, referendums may be the most direct way for citizens to interact with our democracy. Voters decide which, if any, things matter.

Political subdivisions make choices which may make it more, or less, successful to retain and attract us to the fold. Competition is good.

Even if not, it is ubiquitous.

In our own fine state, referendums usually are limited to school funding. What is our appetite for spending? What risk will we tolerate? If we don’t support the effort, what harm is caused? Will not spending have a greater impact than the surety if we do?

Ballot initiatives are growing in import. Be informed and vote like it matters. Isn’t skipping it assuredly a failure to our responsibility in a democracy? This referendum conundrum requires something from us and we should give it.

Aglow in the fall gloom Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know if it’s my British ancestry or my highly flammable ginger complexion, or perhaps HUMOR even, according to my husband, Doo, my cold and dead soul, but I am digging the rainy weather outside my windows right now.

There’s just something about a dreary day. I love that Mother Nature has given me permission to sit on this couch and ignore yard work and exercise. I love that I am basically forced to turn on the fireplace. I love that I feel no compulsion whatsoever to literally do anything productive except microwave leftover Stouffer’s lasagna and sip hot tea. I especially love that I can legitimately go to bed at 6 p.m., because glorious nightfall has arrived early, and that I can sleep under the heavy blanket because temperatures might dip below freezing!

Fingers crossed!

I don’t even care that the semi-monsoon has short-circuited

half of the house. When you have a fabulous Halloween display that includes an animatronic Pennywise, 2,000 feet of orange twinkle lights and dozens of red and green spots, all wired through 15 different extension cords, some rated “inside use only,” you learn to expect electrical mishaps. Nope, no worries here. I am literally soaking up a beautiful gift of a miserable afternoon and considering moving to Seattle or Dublin.

Don’t get me wrong. I probably couldn’t handle months on end of no warmth or sunshine. Usually, by March I’m ready to auction off my firstborn to buy an airline ticket to anywhere south. But a good, old-fashioned rainy fall day every once in a while? Well, that’s right up my Irish, redheaded, soulless alley.

Peace out.

Editor, I have read the letters by Trump supporters lately, informing us that Mr. Trump has been unfairly treated. One thing we can probably both agree on is that Trump’s character is not a source of pride for either of us. Would you want your son or daughter working closely with Mr. Trump? Would you comfortably enter into a business deal with him?

I’m guessing Democrats and Republicans have much in common.

We care about immigrants, but we believe in rules for immigration. We believe in religious freedom. One thing neither side ever says is, “Trump is forever putting the concerns of our country over his own personal interests.”

My Republican family members who profess to love Jesus should be embarrassed about their current support of Mr. Trump. Republicans refuse to mention that Trump’s personal character is shocking and abhorrent. Gaslight much? I don’t want to hear any well-known Republican comment on any future candidate’s morals ever again.

My proofreader, Heidi, left me a voicemail. A text transcription below the notification HUMOR read, “Hi. I sent your proofed column back, but I haven’t heard from you. I wanted to make sure you received it. Love you!”

During the 20 years we’ve worked together, Heidi has left countless messages for me. They sometimes start out with, “Love you,” but then continue with “to quit being so redundant, to get a new proofreader, or to stop calling me before noon.”

No, this message ended with “Love you!”

How long had she felt this way — and how had I missed the cues?

I’ll admit, there were signs that the relationship had taken a turn from professional to personal. We talk endlessly about run-on sentences. Our discussions about dependent clauses are co-dependent. Any time verbs come up, it gets tense, but spacing

issues draw us closer together.

In all our conversations, I swear I never once ended a sentence with a proposition.

Apple’s software often misunderstands, or leaves out words, like this version of my sister’s call last week: “Thanks for your email. I’ll try you again later. I’m with my new boyfriend and I can’t talk until we finish ___.” That blank area was like getting dirty Mad Libs on my cellphone.

When people leave a voicemail using my name “Dick,” the transcription usually says “Jake.” “Hi, Jake, it’s Bob. Want to meet for lunch today?”

Obviously, I’m not Jake, but was that really Bob? It could have been Rob. Or Andrew or Matt. Who knows? I have to listen to the actual audio version, which is what I should have done first, anyway.

I put Heidi’s message on speaker phone so Mary Ellen and I could both hear it: “Hi. Dick, I sent your proofed column back, but I haven’t heard from you. I wanted to make sure you re-

ceived it. Adios!”

Adios!?

Then, I told Heidi how her message was transcribed from “Adios” to “Love you.” She thought that was hysterical.

Now, she ends all our phone conversations with a sarcastic “Love you,” which was funny the first time, but we talk three or four times a day.

Now, when I get a message from my wife and the text translation says, “I love you,” I’m going to listen to the VM immediately to be sure she isn’t divorcing me with an “Adios.”

After each message, Apple asks if its transcription was useful. I responded today: “Dear Apple: No, I hate it. Please discontinue that service.

Love you. Your friend, Jake.

Campaign to recognize local nurses

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Working an extra hour during daylight saving time is especially tough on the night APPRECIATION shift.

For the seventh year, Western Governor’s University of Indiana, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit online college, is kicking off a campaign to recognize local nurses who will work an extra hour during daylight saving time at 2 a.m. Nov. 3.

The campaign aims to draw attention to the extra work done by nurses time by giving them appreciation kits while also drawing attention to its scholarship program. One of its stops is Riverview Health in Noblesville.

Delivery of the kits started in 2013, and this year, the kits will reach more than 2,700 nurses at 125 hospitals and health care facilities in the

Melanie Russell, a night shift nurse at Riverview Health, said nurses are always excited to be recognized.

“That is a forgotten group of nurses. They miss out on pitch-ins, food and parties. It is nice to occasionally (receive a) thank you for keeping things going so others can sleep,” she said.

Indianapolis Opera brings auto racing connection to ‘Elixir of Love’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey has a question for opera lovers.

MUSIC “Have you ever seen a race car at an opera before?” Starkey said.

He knows the answer likely is no.

“For the first time at Indianapolis Opera, we will connect the international world of opera and motorsports in the same show,” he said.

Starkey has made adaptations to the comic opera “Elixir of Love,” which the Indianapolis Opera will present Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington Veach at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

A 1909 Maxwell, on loan from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, will make a stage appearance along with IndyCar driver Zach Veach, a Zionsville resident, in the production.

“We have slightly adapted the show to a very particular time and location, which is generally not the construction of the opera that Gaetano Donizetti wrote,” Starkey said.

“It’s traditionally set around the 1860s in an Italian village.”

Inspired by relationships between Indianapolis and Italy, Starkey has set the story in 1910 in Lucca, Italy.

“Lucca is a famous Italian city, where for the Andretti family, opera and motorsports came together,” Starkey said. “The Andrettis moved there as refugees from World War II.” The Andretti family later moved to the United States.

Starkey saw a documentary

1909 Maxwell car will be featured in “Elixir of Love.” (Submitted phto

about the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s 1969 Indianapolis 500 victory. Andretti and his twin brother, Aldo, were introduced to racing through a mechanic shop in Lucca.

“Mario’s father made some extra money by working in the opera house in walk-on roles, and the family would be able to go and see the opera,” Starkey said. “We’re not setting it in the era when the Andrettis were there, which was the ’40s.”

Dulcamara, a con man posing as a pharmacist, is selling a fake love elixir, cheap Bordeaux, to the citizens.

Starkey said the tie to Indiana is the automotive world that was developing in Europe and the U.S. In Indiana, automakers were developing, and the first Indianapolis 500 was in 1911.

Gary Simpson plays Dulcamara.

“He is on the docket to do the role soon at The Met, so he is coming here to try it out,” said Starkey, a Geist resident.

Veach, an Andretti Autosport driver, will play a character named Mario, representing the assistant to Dulcamara. Andretti Autosport is owned by Michael Andretti, Mario’s

son.

“I think Mario (Andretti) was first approached for this role and he had a schedule conflict,” Veach said. “They started looking for other drivers. They called a good friend of mine and he told them about me, and luckily I was available.”

Veach, 24, said he fortunately doesn’t sing or have any lines.

“I’m strictly a walk-on for this,” he said. “I’m completely out of my elements for this. My girlfriend (Katie McConnell) went to school for musical theater, so she is giving me an idea about it. My life has always been about race cars, so this is going to be a new experience.”

Veach has never been to an opera but is glad to be a part of this one.

“For me, Mario has been like a grandfather,” Veach said. “I’ve been with the team since I was about 15 years old. He’s been a big part of my life as far as a figure I look up to. He is connected to this with the area he grew up. For me to be a part of that in my own sense is an honor for myself.”

The performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Blueprint for Improvement: A charming mid-century kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. The wall opposite the window was removed and replaced with a support beam and column — detailed to match the existing trim — to open the space.

2. A generously sized island with seating and storage was added where the wall once stood.

3. The existing hardwood floors were repaired and stained.

4. The overhead soffits were removed; the original windows are now a highlighted design feature.

5. The hardware selected for the glass front cabinets is true to the kitchen’s mid-century roots.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1955, this Meridian-Kessler bungalow was in need of some big changes. The new homeowners wanted to remove the walls separating the kitchen, dining and living rooms to create an open floorplan. They also wanted to update the kitchen with a focus on retaining the original charm of the home.
