Roads funding motors to historic level Commentary by State Rep. Todd Huston Hoosiers across Indiana, including Fishers, rely on safe and reliable roads as an essential resource COLUMN to live out their daily lives, which is why communities must make crucial road repairs sooner rather than later. To help fuel those projects, Indiana has increased transportation funding 76 percent since 2016, with more than $850 million dedicated to roads just this year.

Because of this historic boost in funding, communities can complete these improvement projects faster than anticipated. In Fishers, we are already starting to see some of these repairs and upgrades unfold, from adding turn lanes on Allisonville Road to transforming Ind. 37 into an expressway-style thoroughfare.

Centier Bank recognizes that sensitive and personal information is widely targeted by criminals. That is why it’s important to establish a personal relationship with your bank, and to reach out when anything seems suspicious, or to simply ask questions to ensure you are protecting yourself.

In today’s technology-dominated world, criminals are targeting personal information beyond a credit card number.

Everything--from medical records to social media logins--is on the table when it comes to identity theft and cybercrime.

As identity theft scams grow more widespread and elaborate, it is important for consumers to stay informed on the latest scams and identity theft tactics being used by criminals. A scam is defined as “an intentional attempt to mislead you with the goal of personal gain.”

Here are five ways to protect your identity and financial information during the holidays: 1. If your ATM has something strange attached to the card slot, do NOT use it.

Those devices are called “skimmers,” and

will capture your magnetic strip data as well as your Personal Identification Number (PIN), and your funds will be in the hands of criminals. E-Skimming is the digital variation, where credit or debit card or other personal information is captured by a thief. Keep track of your purchases and check your statements often to make sure your account information hasn’t ended up in the wrong hands. Experts also recommend using a credit card or PayPal to make online purchases.

2. When you’re out shopping in the mall, leave identifying pieces of information, such as surplus credit cards, Social Security card, passports, and even checkbooks (if you are not using it) at home. Leaving them in your purse, pocket, or car is an open invitation for theft.

3. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Phone scamming is still in vogue among identity thieves. If someone reaches out via phone (or email) claiming you’ve won a prize, but in order to claim it, you must provide personal information (such as a Social Security Number, or bank account), hang up immediately.

4. Gift card scams are skyrocketing. If you are ever asked to pay for something via a gift card, or someone tries to sell you a gift card at a discounted rate, those are huge red flags. Only buy gift cards from trusted sources, or directly from the merchant.

5. Call 888-5-OPTOUT to stop banks from sending you preapproved credit offers in the mail. Also, you can stop unwanted sales calls by registering your phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov or by calling 888382-1222.

If you have questions about protecting your personal information, reach out to your local Centier Bank manager, or go to centier.com.

Books are often the first things to come to mind when people think about libraries, TECHNOLOGY but Hamilton East Public Library has expanded its variety of services by adding virtual reality at its Fishers and Noblesville branches.

Last month, the branches devoted a day to unveiling the equipment and games.

“One of our guiding principles at HEPL is helping our patrons discover new possibilities,” Innovative Services Manager Brad Howell said. “We want to be a library that helps our patrons explore new territories and produce new experiences.” Howell said the libraries purchased the highly rated Oculus Quest system to ensure users get an “exceptional VR experience without having to be plugged into a computer.”

Virtual reality experiences are limited to 15 minutes per person to meet demand. Anyone in sixth grade and above are allowed to use the systems.

From 9:30 to 11 a.m. Dec. 4 and 12 and Jan. 8 and 22, the Noblesville branch will offer events specifically for those 50 and older to learn how to use the VR equipment.

From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Dec. 28, the Fishers branch at 6 Municipal Dr. will conduct a virtual reality open house.

Stan Schenher picks up trash daily while driving his golf cart and smoking a Mederos cigar.

CLEANING UP THE CITY Fishers resident picks up trash while driving a golf cart and smoking a cigar.

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Stan Schenher is a hard man to miss.

COVER STORY Some Fishers residents may recognize him, even if they don’t know his name. The 69-year-old can be seen twice daily, either walking or driving a golf cart, smoking a cigar and picking up trash along several stretches of road.

“I’ve picked up trash for over 40 years, but I just recently adopted my stretches,” said Schenher, who has adopted several stretches of road throughout the City of Fishers. “I just keep adding. Especially with the golf cart, I’ve been able to add a couple stretches this year.”

Schenher picks up trash on two stretches along 116th Street, from Hoosier Road to Cumberland Road.

His other stretches are 106th Street from Geist Road to Fall Road; Geist Road from Fall Creek to 106th Street; Brooks School Road from 116th Street to Fall Creek; and Hoosier Road from 116th Street to 126th Street.

Schenher goes out on one of the stretches every day, walking around

9:30 a.m. and driving his golf cart around 3:30 p.m.

Schenher previously ran his routes and picked up trash along the way, depositing it in trash cans and dumpsters as he ran or returning later to pick it up. But after a hip replacement a few years ago, he mostly rides in his golf cart. In 2018, a police officer stopped him and gave him a warning for a city ordinance violation.

“An officer stopped me in my neighborhood and asked if I knew about the ordinance, and I said, ‘Yeah, I’m just picking up trash,’ but he said I still couldn’t do it,” Schenher said.

Later, a neighbor saw Schenher walking a route and asked him why he wasn’t in his golf cart. After Schenher confided in his neighbor about the situation, his neighbor raised the issue with the city council.

Typically, golf carts aren’t allowed on public roads, but the city made an exception for Schenher because he picks up trash. Because of this, Schenher has become known for smoking a cigar, usually a Mederos, while he drives the cart and picks up

trash.

“I have always smoked cigars,” he said. “That’s my one bad habit. I tell everybody the reason I smoke is because my doctor told me I was living too clean a life, so I started smoking cigars. She wasn’t really pleased when I told her I said that, but it’s a joke.”

Schenher retired from a sales manager job at UPS 14 years ago. He enjoys picking up trash for several reasons.

“It’s my exercise, and anytime I want do it, it is a little bit of help for the environment and community,” he said. “I meet a lot of nice people walking and riding, and people tolerate me pretty much. I get honks and waves, and I enjoy that. That’s fun.”

Schenher encourages others to adopt a stretch of road. That, or just clean up their yards.

“It’s amazing how many things I pick up in yards,” he said. “I’d like people to adopt a small place of their own and try to keep the neighborhoods around Fishers looking clean.”

Schenher is a member of Holy Spirit at Geist church, where he helps with bereavement ministry and other tasks. He lives with his wife,

Linda. Their three daughters and nine grandchildren, ages 1 to 16, also live in Fishers.

ENCOUNTERING STRANGE ITEMS Some of the strangest items Stan Schenher has encountered while driving his routes are underwear and pants.

“I once picked up about eight or nine underpants. I don’t know how they got on the road,” he said. “And probably one of the weirdest was on Brooks School Road. I saw something laying in the road and went back later to pick it up, and it was three pairs of Dockers pants. The odd thing was, they were my size, and two were brand new with the tags still on them.”

Schenher washed the pants, kept one pair and gave away the other two.

He also has found wallets and cellphones.

“I try to track (the owners) down,” he said. “I’m usually able to find them, and people are pretty excited about that.”

LETTER

Perpetual celebration

GOP shields Trump

Commentary by Terry Anker The leftovers are gone. The turkey bones have been boiled and the resulting soup was enjoyed. Soon, the decorations will be hung by the chimney with care. Our sights set on the coming holidays, and then the new year, distract us from the impending threat of winter.

Sparkling lights, abundant food and the closest friends and family all align to help us wrangle some deep-seated, primal fear about the hunger and isolation triggered by the frosty nights.

Still, doesn’t it all seem most harsh weeks past the solstice in the waning days of January? The festoons are packed neatly away, back in the attic awaiting next year.

Guests have gone home. And we are focused on bringing our waistlines back into pre-holiday circumferences. But, the days remain short, cold and blustery. Don’t we need each other much more after the fun is over?

Even the bitter and unrepentant Ebenezer Scrooge learning the depth of his error was heard to exclaim, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” He could have sent a goose to the Cratchits, donated a few bucks and settled in to enjoy the 19th-century London equivalent of holiday football games. Instead, he vowed to play the long game. As family clears out for another year, can we make the same declaration?

If not, have we missed the point of the whole thing?

A holiday survival guide Commentary by Danielle Wilson All right, people. Here’s my plan for surviving the holidays. Feel free to adopt, share or reject HUMOR outright. I really don’t care.

Because that’s my mantra as I wade through the next few sugar-filled, sleep-depriving, financially and emotionally draining weeks. It won’t be all bad, true. Who doesn’t love a season that embraces 1970s claymation, egg nog and ugly sweaters? But I’ve learned through the years that December can become your worst nightmare if you don’t prepare properly. The key? Don’t get too invested. In anything. You’ll only be setting yourself up for disappointment and alcoholism. So, here you go.

You’re welcome.

1. Just say no. “No, I can’t make it to the office party.” “No, I won’t be participating in Secret Santa.” And, “No, I’m not driving you, my darling daughter, to ice skating, Yogurtz, Castleton and then to Emily’s.” Borrow from the Mothers-of-Twins handbook: Just say no!

2. Expect the worst. The almighty flu will smite your house, and the 12-foot fir, laden with antique glass ornaments, will topple. If you expect high levels of chaos and stress, you’ll either be well-prepared when it hits or pleasantly surprised that you survived unscathed. Win-win.

3. Schedule “me time.” In this season of gift-giving, don’t forget to love yourself! Take 20 minutes after your fifth Meijer run to play solitaire. Lock yourself in the bathroom for an afternoon of “The Crown.” Have a second cranappletini with your gal pal. You can’t successfully navigate choppy Yuletide waters if your mental compass is perpetually pointing south.

Ignore the guilt, recite the mantra and practice self-care.

Good luck, friends. See you on the other side.

Peace out.

Editor, I am outraged that as Donald Trump continues to act with impunity, the GOP is continuing to shield him from the consequences of his actions. It’s time for Republican representatives to stand up for the rule of law and support impeachment.

Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election demonstrate that he is a danger to our democracy and the security of our elections. Thanks to whistleblower complaints, information released by the White House and the testimony of more than half a dozen witnesses, we have proof that Trump withheld military aid to coerce the president of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.

No American is above the law, especially the president. That’s why I believe Congress has no choice but to draft articles of impeachment and vote to impeach Donald Trump.

Democrats are bravely standing up for the rule of law and our democracy. It’s not too late for Republican representatives to do the same.

Steve Leyndyke, Carmel

Gregg Bell is 90 and still practices dentistry and is director of that department at Logansport State Hospital. But wait, there’s more! In 1953, Bell won the Olympic gold medal in long jumping in Melbourne, Australia.

When I interviewed him, I asked him to show me the 26-foot, 5.2-inch distance that won him first place. He eyeballed the floor and walked it off within a quarter of an inch.

At the age of 18, Carmel resident Ashton Gleckman wrote, filmed, edited and produced an incredible documentary about Holocaust survivors that was featured this year at the Heartland Film Festival. He learned to do all this from YouTube videos. Not to brag, but I learned from YouTube how to use dental floss to get a stuck

ring off my stubby finger.

Senior pickleball player Ralph Fowler is the star of the Monon Center pickleball league, and I was there with TV cameras to surprise him for his 90th birthday. He plays every bit as well as people half his age. He beat me in a game. I’m sure I could have beaten him if there had been a rematch, but I was too tired to play again.

Lonnie Bedwell lost his vision in 1997 when his best friend accidentally shot him during a hunting trip. The story of his adventures while blind include kayaking down the Colorado River, climbing to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and skiing down the world’s most challenging slopes. “I wish I had my sight back,” Lonnie said during our interview, “but I wouldn’t trade the last 23 years for anything.”

Kenny Sailors died in 2016. He was credited as the player who introduced the jump shot to basketball in the 1930s. I interviewed Jake Hamilton, who produced a biographical film about Kenny Sailors. Kenny is not in

the Basketball Hall of Fame, but he should be. The documentary should give him a better shot, just like he gave basketball.

Dr. Richard Moss, author of “A Surgeon’s Odyssey,” tells the story of how he (a Jasper head and neck surgeon) traveled across Asia, with extended stops in Bangkok, Nepal and Bangladesh to treat the locals, operating on people with almost unspeakable deformities. Stymied by limited resources and the challenges of diverse cultures, his story deserves a full documentary feature film, not just a 10-minute interview with me.

These stories and more are available on the WISH-TV website or can be Googled with my name, along with the guest’s name.

Discounts that actually cost you money — Retailers have latched onto a way to offer giant percentages off that are mesmerizing to shoppers but are not what they seem. The pitch: You get a gigantic discount, typically up to 70 percent off, but the fine print notes that you get that discount only on a second or third of multiple similar items. Signs in store windows and on store shelves (and online) shout out the percentage and shoppers often don’t do the math to see just how unimpressive these offers typically are.

DISPATCH Healthy holidays — With so many yummy treats on hand during the holiday season, it’s hard to resist splurging. The result is the much-dreaded holiday weight gain. One way to minimize that is to budget your calorie intake much the same way you would budget vacation spending. Don’t waste calories on store-bought cookies, or green bean casserole, just because they are there. Instead, be selective and indulge in small portions of truly special dishes and desserts.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Symphony Orchestra Music Director Janna Hymes began a mission to make the MUSIC traditional holiday concerts more pops-oriented last year.

“It’s fun for everybody,” Hymes said. “We want everyone to have a great time and get into the holiday spirit. We know there is a lot going on and people are inundated with things to do at the holidays, but this is pretty fun, and then you walk outside and the Christkndlmarkt is going on.

It’s so different from what we do with our masterworks. In fact, we are looking at increasing our pops offerings. We know the community really likes those concerts.”

Carmel High School’s Ambassadors, the mixed show choir, will perform.

“I haven’t worked with them before, so I think it’s really going to be fun to bring them to the Palladium because they are just so beloved by the community,” Hymes said.

Kozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Christmas show set

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The one gift you know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love!

The Shops at River Crossing (next to The Fashion Mall) 317.669.0955 â&#x20AC;˘ www.debrand.com

The concept for Dave Kozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Christmas show started during an interview he was doing CONCERT with his good friend, pianist David Benoit, on Kozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had just lost his mother and I had lost my father, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What are we going to do for the holidays?

Maybe we should go out and play some music,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Koz said.

They did, and Koz has been doing it ever since. Benoit has joined him on several tours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is year No. 22, which is very unbelievable for me because I never would have thought it would go on this long,â&#x20AC;? Koz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tribute to the fact that people love holiday music. I love holiday music, and we love putting together these shows.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tourâ&#x20AC;? is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Palladium at the Center for the

Performing Arts in Carmel. Joining saxophonist and bandleader Koz are singer/songwriters Jonathan Butler and Melissa Manchester, saxophonist Michael Lington and special guest Chris Walker, a singer/songwriter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do change the cast members because we figure a lot of people come back every year, and in 22 years we never did the same show twice,â&#x20AC;?

Koz said.

This will be the first tour appearance for Manchester, Lington and Walker. Butler is a tour veteran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 12th time for Jonathan Butler,â&#x20AC;? Koz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are like brothers from another mother. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this a long time together.

We have a wonderful friendship.â&#x20AC;?

A few things are staples, such as Butler singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Holy Night.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people who come to our show just to hear him sing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;O Holy Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and would be very upset if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it,â&#x20AC;? Koz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are songs that become pillars of the show, like the Hanukkah song (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eight Candlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) I do every year. There are a lot of people not Jewish who say that is their favorite part of the show.â&#x20AC;?

Kozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gifts of the Season,â&#x20AC;? features all artists on the tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to do a lot of that new music on the show,â&#x20AC;? Koz said.

Ruins of Adobe churches in Pecos Historical Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Pecos Historical Park: 800 Years of History Commentary by Don Knebel Pecos National Historical Park provides an opportunity to explore the ruins of an ancient PuebTRAVEL loan village and a Civil War battlefield.

In about 1100 A.D., the Puebloans, an indigenous people living throughout the American Southwest, established a village of mud buildings 26 miles east of what is now Santa Fe, N.M. Located near the strategic Glorietta Pass, the villagers became prosperous trading with other indigenous peoples. In 1540, Spanish forces under Vasquez de Coronado discovered the village, then a five-story pueblo housing 2,000 residents, and named it “Pecos. In 1598, the Catholic Church sent a Franciscan friar to Pecos. He destroyed the circular kivas the Puebloans used for religious ceremonies and smashed their idols, creating enormous resentment. The original priest was replaced in 1621 by a more tolerant one, who convinced the residents to build a massive adobe church, by far the largest in New Mexico. In 1680, Puebloans throughout New Mexico revolted against what they considered unnecessarily harsh

Spanish rule. The residents of Pecos killed their priest, demolished the huge church and built a new kiva near the church. The Spanish fled but soon returned and built a much smaller adobe church within the site of the earlier one. In the late 18th century, Pecos began to decline from disease and Comanche raids, and by 1831 Pecos and its historic church were abandoned.

In 1965, the ruins of Pecos became part of the Pecos National Historical Park, enlarged in 1990 to include almost 7,000 acres. A trail takes visitors past the foundations of the original adobe church, the still-standing walls of its replacement and a restored stone kiva. The park also incorporates the site of the Battle of Glorietta Pass, an 1862 battle along the Santa Fe Trail that ended the Confederate campaign to separate the Union from the West.
