Familiar surroundings helped Jinnie Tomes make ACCOMPLISHMENT the next step in her pageant career a triumphant one.

The 18-year-old Fishers resident was the first runner-up in the Miss Indiana Teen USA pageant in 2018. Tomes, a 2019 Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate, was crowned 2020 Miss Indiana Teen USA at the Nov. 23-24 pageant in Fort Wayne.

“Honestly, it’s hard to say (what the judges liked). Every year is so different,” Tomes said. “Different judges, different outcomes. Maybe it was I was much more comfortable with how the competition was ran. If I had the upper hand at all, it’s because I knew what was happening.”

site has not been determined.

Tomes, a University of Kentucky freshman psychology major, was judged on interview, active wear and evening gown. The top five contestants then answered a question on stage.

“This is something that I’ve definitely worked towards for a couple of years,” Tomes said. “Being in pageant since I was 9 years old, this has been the end goal. I just wanted to prepare myself to get here because being in the USA system is something that I’ve always wanted to be a part of. Something the USA system focuses on is being confidently beautiful. I like that platform in general.”

Her personal platform is “Live Happy, Live Healthy.”

“I do a lot of work for the American Diabetes Association,” she said. “Diabetes is something that is prevalent in my family. When I was making my platform, I wanted something that impacted me.”

Tomes said she has a lot of sponsors to help her prepare for the national competition.

“I get walking training and makeup training,” Tomes said.

Tomes has been in various pageant systems through the years. She won the Junior Teen Division of the national Miss American Coed pageant in November 2016.

Tomes is available for personal appearances. To request an appearance, visit missindianateenusa.com. Tomes can be followed on Facebook and Instagram at missindianateenusa.

Mayor Steve Collier holds the new flag.

The previous flag for the City of Lawrence.

CITY PRIDE High school student designs new Lawrence flag

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Cathedral High School junior Ethan Marusco has a COVER STORY swell of civic pride after designing the City of Lawrence’s new flag.

The Lawrence resident is a paid intern in City Controller Jason Fenwick’s office, and one of his recent duties was to design a new flag.

The process began in August 2019.

“We were in the office talking about whether we have a flag or not, and it turns out we did, but it was really outdated, so (Fenwick) tasked me with creating a new one, and a couple months later, here we are with a new flag,” said Marusco, a graphic design intern. “I started by researching the principles of flag design and different tips and techniques to create good flag design.

“We had these values we wanted to highlight, and we discussed how to highlight those in a design.”

Through his research, Marusco learned a designer can convey mean-

ing through colors and symbolism.

He designed the flag using computer programs.

“It was just a really fun process making the flag itself,” he said.

During the design phase, the 17-year-old said his favorite part was learning what worked and what didn’t.

“I brought the mayor (Steve Collier) four designs, and we discussed what he liked about each design and what he wanted,” Marusco said. “We took some aspects from each flag and put those together into what we have now.”

The flag incorporates the colors red, white and blue. Red represents passion and determination. White represents peace and safety. Blue represents unity, diversity and stability. Five stars in the center of the flag represent the five branches of the U.S. military. White lines in the middle with stripes and a center star depicts a bird flying into the horizon, which symbolizes the city moving forward.

The center star is part of Lawrence’s logo.

“I looked at different flags from

across the country and the world and noticed things I liked and didn’t like,” Marusco said. “I really liked taking the creative liberty of adjusting what I saw, and I enjoyed looking at other flags.”

Collier is much happier with the new flag.

“The (previous) city flag was never displayed much because it’s not an appealing flag,” Collier said.

In August, 2019, the city council unanimously approved the adoption of the new flag.

“They all seemed to really like the

new flag, especially when I showed them the previous one,” Marusco said. “(Seeing the flag around the city) really excites me. It’s been a great opportunity, and it feels really good to get all this recognition but also see how much people like it and how happy they are that Lawrence has a new flag and has a new way to show the pride of living in Lawrence. I’ve lived in Lawrence my whole life.”

Marusco plans to major in international marketing in college with a focus in globalization.

INTERNING WITH THE CITY OF LAWRENCE Cathedral High School junior Ethan Marusco began his internship with the City of Lawrence in City Controller Jason Fenwick’s office through a program for students interested in financial analysis.

He started the internship in April 2019, worked full time during the summer and now works after school and during holiday breaks.

“A lot of the interns over the summer were majoring in things like economics or finance, but I went into it doing more of graphic design aspect,” Marusco said. “I’ve really gotten to hone my skills with graphic design using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and I got to express my creative side through making things like budget reports and fliers.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Life license

Facts are being tested

Commentary by Terry Anker So-called self-help gurus have asked us if we really know ourselves since the “me” generation.

One can assume the question is more existential than tangible.

With the exception of infirmity or infancy, we recognize enough about ourselves to provide our given name, city of domicile and perhaps a few important numbers – namely Social Security and birthdate. From the youngest age, we humans find it important to label ourselves (or at least to recognize those labels applied to us).

Eventually, some of us resist. We don’t like our names. We don’t like our families. We don’t like our addresses. Whatever the genesis, we march out into the world hopeful to create a new identity unmarked by that provided at baptism or afforded by our progenitors. From the start, we are branded with an official birth certificate. We believe its veracity because we have no way of personally knowing if it is accurate or not. Besides, could we “be” without it? And as we age, it becomes more important, at least to get along in our social order, to be one, consistent person. At 16, we get a state-issued driver’s license.

By adulthood, we have mortgages, wills and all sorts of legal documentation. But what if we lose it? How do we “prove” our identity? Could we? Are we our own construction or God’s -- a simple accumulation of settled assumptions or a bureaucrat-stamped license to exist?

Editor, Facts, not civics, are being tested.

Let’s make sure we get a few facts straight regarding Mr. Trump and his impeachment.

• The impeachment proceedings being used are the same ones used for both the Nixon and Clinton impeachments.

• Mr. Trump has had the opportunity for legal counsel at every turn. He has not sent counsel.

• (U.S. Rep.) Adam Schiff is not the special counsel, Robert Mueller was. The former investigating Mr. Trump’s admitted illegal dealings with Ukraine, the latter investigating the Trump campaign’s collusion with a foreign government and his attempts to obstruct justice in that investigation.

It’s telling that two recent commentaries echo talking points from one “news” source. Yet, neither uses actual facts. I guess they’re using those “alternative facts”.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

FRESH! OPTIONS! ON DEMAND!

I called my friend Auri, a computer geek, and asked him to help me with my successful website, HUMOR which currently is attracting up to three visitors a month. To have a strong online presence, you have to spend several hours a day Facebooking, tweeting and updating your blog. This means cutting yourself off from the outside world.

But that’s the price you pay for being social.

Auri and I decided to meet in a few days for coffee. I wrote the time and date on my trusty mini legal pad. Then I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror where I know I’ll see it several times the night before. This system seldom fails, although one day I accidentally grabbed a list from the previous day and started repeating everything on it. I’m glad I have an honest barber.

Auri and I chose the following Tuesday, at 9 a.m., at Starbucks. Auri entered this on his Google calendar, which automatically synched to my AOL calendar, telling me the time and location of the appointment. I don’t like it when other people tell me where to go - but that also was happening way before computers.

Right after our call, a “meeting alert” appeared on my computer screen.

The message came with a selection of colors to distinguish it from other appointments on my calendar, except I didn’t have any. Brown seemed appropriate for java, but something more

festive felt right. I went with red.

The following morning, I got an “Invitation Update.” Auri wanted to change our Tuesday breakfast from 9 to 8:30 a.m. I agreed to the new time, adding that I was changing the color of our meeting from red to green. Although I’m sure this didn’t matter to Auri, the Dept. of Homeland Security was probably relieved.

The update included a link to MapQuest, informing me how long it would take to get there from my house, which was either three minutes away, four minutes away, seven minutes away or eight minutes away, depending on which nearby Starbucks I was going to.

On Tuesday morning, I got another cellphone alert that my meeting was in an hour. Then, at 8:15, I was dinged again, warning that I only had 15 minutes. I rushed out the door, afraid that if I were late, news of my tardiness would go viral.

I reached Starbucks at 8:25. Auri hadn’t arrived yet. I waited. And waited.

I called his cellphone just before 9 a.m.

He answered right away.

“Auri, where are you? I’m at Starbucks on 82nd,” I said.

He responded, “Oh, my gosh, was that today?”

Lippia to join Carmel Symphony Orchestra for Sinatra & Friends

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts seems the perfect fit for Steve Lippia.

CONCERT “I inhabit the world of the Great American Songbook,” Lippia said.

The Center for the Performing Arts is home to the Great American Songbook Foundation.

Lippia will appear with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra for his Sinatra & Friends show at 8 p.m. Jan. 11 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. Lippia previously performed with the CSO in 2009.

“One of the first shows I brought to the pops market was a show called ‘Simply Sinatra’ because of the amazing name recognition, the popularity and the great music he’s known for,” Lippa said. “That’s usually the first show (promoters) will pick.”

If he returns to the same venue, Lippia does a show featuring songs

by Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Vic Damone and Nat King Cole.

“This show will have some of those elements,” Lippia said. “I’ve not seen the Palladium, so this will be a great introduction to what is supposed to be an amazing facility.”

Lippia said there are usually 18 to 20 songs in his set.

“I always bring a little extra music, and if we are running ahead of schedule, we include those songs,” he said. “I really like the big ballads.

I think they are more interesting.

The arrangements are a little more inspiring with the ballads. I like the uptempo and medium-tempo songs a lot, but there is something about those ballads that intrigue people.

Those are the ones that give the lyricists time to shine.

Steve Lippia will perform at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)

“When you think of the music of Johnny Mercer, Sammy Cahn and Cole Porter, all the greats showed their best stuff particularly with ballads.”

Lippia said audiences always like Sinatra’s blockbuster hits.

He worked for a long time with a former Sinatra conductor, Vincent Falcone Jr. “He told me Sinatra was so tired of singing ‘Strangers in the Night’ and was happy when ‘New York, New York’ came along,” Lippia said.

“So, he was able to ignore ‘Strangers in the Night,’ or he asked his arrangers to put together a shorter version of it.”

In addition to “New York, New York,” Lippia said the two most requested songs are “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Summer Wind.”

“I get an informal survey when I

meet people after the show,” Lippia said. “It’s an audience-driven show.

I want to make sure they hear most of the songs they expect to hear, but I also want to sneak in a song or two they might not expect me to perform.”

Although the Las Vegas resident has had long-term engagements in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, Lippia prefers to tour, traveling all across the U.S. and internationally.

“Residency engagements are a great thing financially, but it can get a little tiresome,” Lippia said. “Just when you think everything is going great and attendance is super, then there is some merger or acquisition, or some kind of change at the top.

They’ll say, ‘Wow, you are doing great, now get out.’”

Lippia worked with Janna Hymes in Williamsburg (Va.) when she was music director of the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra. Hymes became CSO music director in 2017. She stepped down as Williamsburg’s music director in May 2019.

“It was one of my favorite pop shows I ever did, and I’ve done hundreds of them,” Hymes said. “Some of them are the original Nelson Riddle arrangements. They are just incredible. When we did them, the audience was so excited because he has the same inflection as Sinatra.

What’s great about Steve is his Rat Pack rhythm. He’s a terrific singer, great entertainer and he tells good stories.”

In addition to the concert, the Rat Pack Party, a ‘50s-era cocktail party, is set for 6:45 p.m. The Palladium party will feature period cocktails, finger food and Sinatra-style music.

Period attire is optional. Admission is $20.

Garner and his band have performed more than 500 professional shows.

Vareen ready to step out at Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com As Ben Vareen’s stage, film and TV career has spanned 50-plus years, the triple threat PERFORMANCE actor/singer/ dancer is identified for different roles by various generations.

“I get tickled. I still get people saying I grew up to you on ‘Zoobilee Zoo,’ or I saw you on ‘The Muppet Show’ or ‘The Mike Douglas Show,’” said Vareen, laughing.

Nothing, however, is quite like performing in his own show.

“That’s gold. That’s the reward,” Vareen said of being on stage. “My show is my gratitude performance to my audience. They’ll see singing and dancing from the shows I’ve done and shows that I’ve wished I’ve done. I pay tribute to artists, my friends. It’s an evening of celebration of life. If I do my job, I hope to inspire somebody.

“What is a blessing for me is I get to spread the word of love and unity.”

The “Steppin’ Out with Ben Vareen” tour will stop at 8 p.m. Jan. 18 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I’m coming and celebrating with Michael Feinstein, who is keeping alive and preserving the Great American Songbook,” Vareen said.

Feinstein is the director of the Center and founder of the Palladium-based Great American Songbook Foundation.

“We have a mutual friend, Liza Minnelli,” Vareen said. “Michael used to come out to my house rehearsing his piano and learning the music of the Gershwins, long before he became Michael Feinstein when he was just Michael.”

Vareen, 73, received a lifetime achievement award from New York’s Gold Coast Arts Center late last year.

“It’s always humbling and takes me by surprise because I’m busy doing the work,” he said.

Vareen had a breakout role, winning a Tony Award for Best Actor in

Musical in “Pippin” in 1973. He was nominated for an Emmy for his role in the 1977 “Roots” miniseries. He recently had roles in “Bull” and “Magnum P.I.” “When a TV role comes up that’s right, we do it. I’ll go to Timbuktu if the role is right,” Vareen said.

Vareen works with an advocacy group, Americans for the Arts, which lobbies Congress and other officials to maintain public support for arts and arts education.

“I speak on the arts every chance I get,” he said. “The arts are the essence of our life. They are cutting away the arts everywhere and we have to stop them from doing that because our children are suffering.”

Vareen is working with a group called Care For the Homeless, which helps provide free medical treatment to the homeless.

“I did a movie (‘Time Out of Mind’) based on the homeless,” Vareen said.

“I learned a lot about the homeless.

It’s about me getting into the arena and making my voice heard. Hopefully, in my little way, I change it and make life better for somebody. I can’t solve the whole problem. We must solve it together, but in my little way, I’ll do my turn.”

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9709 E. 116th St., Fishers What to get: Miller Farm Chicken Hash Price: $14 Anna’s take: This was my first trip to Rize, a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant at The Yard at Fishers District, and I was thrilled with the chef-created options. I tried several items, and my favorite was Miller Farm Chicken Hash, which is a crispy potato cake topped with a chicken and beech mushroom mix, sautéed with a tomato fennel gravy. It’s all topped with a sunny-side up duck egg and a side of pickled onions. I enjoy

duck eggs because my parents have a small duck farm in northern Westfield and I grew up eating duck eggs.

Miller Farm Chicken Hash was a great savory brunch option. I also tried the chia seed pudding bowl ($10), a vegan breakfast bowl with coconut milk chia pudding, house-made strawberry preserves, house-made granola, Marcona almonds, dried fruit, fresh berries and peanut butter. For a savory breakfast option, try the egg tart ($11), a delicious egg custard nestled in a pastry shell and topped with roasted vegetables, spinach, mushrooms and pickled red onions with a hibiscus mustard shmear with a bright splash of color.

Suggested pairings: For those who enjoy an alcoholic beverage with brunch, try the Rize Bloody Mary ($10), or, for something sweeter, try the Rize and Shine Mocha ($9).

Behind bars: Espresso Martini Get it at 1933 Lounge, Fishers Ingredients: • 1 oz. Stoli Vanilla Vodka • .75 oz. Nocello • .5 oz. crème de cacao • .5 oz. Kahlua • 2 dashes Woodford Reserve Chocolate Bitters • 1 shot of espresso Directions: Shake ingredients and strain into glass.

SUMMER

The Fishers Arts Council recently announced the opening of its new exhibit space, The Alcove. It will be home to artists for exhibits lasting three months rather than the normal one-month exhibits at The Art Gallery at City Hall.

The name The Alcove was selected after a contest where Facebook friends of Fishers Arts Council were asked to name the space. The final name was selected by the FAC Board from the list of names provided.

For the first exhibit in 2020, FAC presents the work of Gale Sturm, who enjoys painting a wide variety of subjects.

As a teacher at Lawrence Central High School, Sturm concentrated on designing and building stage sets for plays and musicals. He designed more than 150 sets for school plays and musicals, community theater and children’s theater.

FAC will have a joint reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

Jan. 10 for Strum and Jeanette Pomeroy Parssi, who will be this month’s featured artist.

Conscious of conscience Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Are you wound up? Worked up?

Burnt out? Are you tired of being tired?

GRAMMAR GUY Only when we make an intentional effort to slow down can we achieve higher levels of consciousness — or is it conscience?

Unconscious? Let’s clear up the differences between these confusing words.

Conscience is a noun that refers to someone’s internal sense of right and wrong. The adjective version of conscience is “conscientious,” which means that someone is guided by her sense of right and wrong, careful not to make mistakes.

Conscious is an adjective that means to be aware, alert, intentional or awake. Before your alarm goes off in the morning, you’re unconscious (most people call this “sleeping”). If you make a “conscious

effort” to make eye contact and be present with people, that means you’re taking intentional steps to change your behavior for the better.

If someone is self-conscious, that means he is more aware of how he perceives others view him.

Being self-conscious can mean being “self-aware.” In negative connotations, however, being self-conscious can make someone hyper-aware of how others view himself to the point of paranoia. Be self-conscious in a good way.

The term “consciousness” is a noun that has to do with the state of being conscious. It is a deep level of thoughtfulness that helps people become more aware of themselves and others.

Flower Clock in Geneva, Switzerland. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Geneva’s Flower Clock Commentary by Don Knebel Geneva, Switzerland is world-famous for the skill of its many watchmakers. Until recently, it TRAVEL also was famous as the site of the world’s largest clock.

By the end of the 15th century, Geneva was home to a large number of talented goldsmiths, fashioning enameled gold jewelry pieces that were in demand throughout Europe.

All that changed in 1541, when John Calvin, the strict religious reformer, declared himself the head of the newly formed Republic of Geneva. Believing the wearing of jewelry to be a form of idolatry, Calvin outlawed both the making and wearing of gold jewelry. Geneva’s talented jewelers were suddenly unemployed. Fortunately, a group of Huguenots, Protestants fleeing France to avoid religious persecution, settled in Geneva and brought their watchmaking skills with them.

Soon, Geneva’s once-idle jewelers were making high-quality watches. By the 18th century, 600 watchmakers were exporting 600,000 watches a year from Geneva to the remainder of Europe, Asia and the American

colonies.

Geneva’s watchmaking capacity reached its peak just after World War II. In 1955, to recognize Geneva’s status as the watchmaking capital of the world, the city erected a huge clock on the western side of the English Garden, just south of Lake Geneva.

The face of the L’horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock), including the clock numerals, is created on the lawn from about 6,500 flowers and plants, redesigned and reconstructed once each season by local florists. The clock face is 16 feet in diameter and 59 feet in circumference, earning it the title of the world’s largest clock until it was surpassed in 2005 by a clock in Tehran, Iran. The Flower Clock’s 8-footlong second hand remains the longest in the world. The underground mechanism is linked to a satellite, allowing the huge hands to display the exact time, for which Geneva’s watches remain famous.
