Fadness talks economic development at State of the City

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Scott Fadness began his annual State of the City March 15 by listing economic development numbers. update “Our economic development has involved over 1,500 new jobs in 2016 in the city and $200 million of private real estate investment,” he said. “There have been over 53,000 police calls and 5,000 fire calls, and 74 people have been helped through the community paramedicine proFadness gram. We have had all of this activity while still maintaining the lowest tax rate in any city in Indiana. There’s been an extraordinary amount of activity and energy around this vision of becoming a smart and vibrant entrepreneurial city.”

Fadness was questioned by an Indianapolis reporter. The first question was about the city's largest challenges and how the administration will address them.

“One of the biggest challenges facing our city, believe it or not, is sustainability,” Fadness said.

“People come here to be near where they work and our good schools and they can find affordable housing, but they don’t really have a tie to the community. So when Fishers is no longer the shiny object it once was, how does Fishers continue to sustain itself? Those types of challenges are not here today but will be here.”

Fadness said he and his staff are addressing that by reinvesting in parts of the community that are beginning to, such as 96th and 116th streets and Allisonville Road.

Fadness also was asked what he would say to those in the community concerned about the quality of life when IKEA opens in the fall.

“I went through the same emotion they did,” Fadness said. “We will make sure it fits the vision of the community and take proactive steps to rezone the area around it to not get the tradi-

tional retail that follows IKEAs.” Fadness also addressed traffic concerns and highlighted what has been done, and what will be done, to ensure connectivity throughout the city.

“Last year, we put $30 million of road infrastructure into this city, typically around IKEA and Topgolf at the 116th interchange,” he said. “We will invest $200 million over the next five years, including (Ind.) 37. That in itself is not good enough. I think the best thing to do from a traffic perspective is bring more jobs back to Fishers so people are actually working and living in Fishers.”

Fadness concluded by stressing the importance of Indianapolis and Hamilton County cities working together.

“In the past, I don’t know if it (Fishers’ relationship with Indianapolis) was great, but I think it’s getting a lot better,” he said.

“We are still trying to figure out what our roles are with one another. I do think none of us will be better off individually as we could be collectively. We as a metropolitan area are not succeeding at nearly the rate we need to be. Fishers and Carmel talk about success individually, but collectively, as a whole region, we have a lot of work to do, and we need to be leaders in that pursuit. Fishers should be engaged as much as possible with that discussion.”

Breakfast features legislators

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County’s state legislators came together at a breakfast at Conner Prairie March 10 to update the busiPOLITICS ness community on the legislative session.

WTHR reporter Kevin Rader moderated the discussion between state representatives Kathy Richardson, Jerry Torr, Donna Schaibley and Tony Cook and state senators Luke Kenley, John Ruckelshaus, Mike Delph and Jim Merritt. All of them represent portions of Hamilton County.

Two main topics were how a repeal of the Affordable Care Act would affect Indiana’s Medicaid expansion program, HIP 2.0, and the proposed gas tax to fund road improvements statewide.

As for HIP 2.0, the legislators said Indiana is in wait-and-see mode. About 250,000 Hoosiers have coverage through the program, and a proposed replacement for the ACA would slowly phase out matching funds to the state to pay for health care. It could have an impact on the state’s budget, legislators said.

The proposed gas tax would increase the state’s current gas tax from 18 cents to 28

cents. It could be tied to inflation, which means it could increase every year. There would be extra fees for vehicle registration and a $150 fee for electric vehicles. The changes are designed to raise an estimated $1.2 billion a year for road upkeep and construction.

“We’ve had no tax increase in this area since 2003, so the tax has actually been a tax cut since the buying power of the 18-cent gas tax has decreased over time,” Kenley said.

Transit workshops educate locals

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Foot Health Seminar Join Dr. Nathan Graves, podiatrist, and Dr. Tracey Ikerd, infectious disease specialist, as they discuss common foot ailments such as warts, ingrown toenails and bunions, as well as the advanced wound care technology available for foot infections and ulcers.

A light dinner will be served.

When: Thursday, April 13 6-7 p.m.

Location: Riverview Health 395 Westfield Rd., Noblesville Krieg DeVault Conference Room (Lower level of Women’s Pavilion) Registration: Visit riverview.org/classes or call 317.776.7999.

The program is free, but registration is required.

In 2017, Indy Connect has the goal of educating central transportation Indiana about transit, and last week, a series of workshops in Greenwood, Carmel and Lawrence were the start.

Earlier this month, residents and stakeholders from the three areas met for workshops where Michelle Poyourow, a senior associate with Jarrett Walker and Associates, a transit-planning firm based out of Portland, Ore., discussed how communities plan and talk about transit.

“What we really specialize in is helping communities have very clear conversations about what they want in their transit service,” Poyourow said. “One thing that is a surprise to people is that you can be protransit and want very different goals from transit than your pro-transit neighbors. So there’s some conflicting goals in what transit tries to serve, and what we’re talking to people about (at these workshops) is we’re helping them learn what those conflicting goals are, understand why they arise, and then think about how their own values can inform what they think transit should be.”

The three workshops were modeled exactly the same. Those who attended played a game to design a transit plan for a fictional town, “Prairieville,” where green, blue and red transit lines were used representing one bus and one driver per line but arriving at points at different time intervals – every hour, half hour and 15 minutes, respectively. “(Participants) notice conflicts while working on a fictional city, and then they can apply that knowledge and understanding to conversations about their own community,” Poyourow said.

“A good transit plan is a plan that matches what the community wants, and every

community’s values are different,” said Cindy Benedict, project manager for Indy Connect Engagement. “There’s a transit plan for central Indiana, and the way that the state law was done, all of the planning and funding has to be local, either at the township level or the county level. It’s challenging because good transit planning needs to be regional because we all cross these boundaries all the time. What we try to do through Indy Connect is sort of plan regionally, but we have to go in with that perspective and do it locally. What we’re finding is that where transit works best is where there’s density closest to Marion County, and the farther out you get, the less need they have for transit, which isn’t to say they have none, but what it means is they don’t really want to pay an income tax.

So in most of the donut counties, they’re taking the township approach.”

Benedict said through the rest of 2017, Indy Connect will be in Hamilton County and Greenwood hosting community listening sessions.

“This year is a year of education,” she said.

Rotary presents Fishers on Tap

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For the past five years, the Fishers Rotary Club has hosted a bi-annual Fishers on Tap event featuring multiple loevent cal breweries and restaurants.

The events have been held in the winter at Forum Conference Center and in the summer at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre.

This year, the Fishers on Tap indoor event will be held in the spring.

“The indoor event at Forum Conference Center maxes out at a capacity of 400.

That’s been a great event for us. It’s filling up and doing well,” Fishers on Tap Chair Bill Jerow said. “Wine tickets are there as well.

Women let us know they don’t like beer and they wanted wine, so we brought a winery in with 30 or 40 tickets (per) event. It’s focused on Indiana craft breweries to support the local Indiana economy.”

Eight breweries and six restaurants will be featured at the event. Restaurants include Red Sake, Ruth's Chris, Peterson’s, Rockstone Pizza and Redemption Aleworks.

The two returning breweries are Bier Brewery and Grand Junction Brewing Co.

Guests try beer samples at a previous Fishers on Tap event at Forum Conference Center in Fishers. (File photo)

The other breweries differ each year.

“We try to get the newer ones, those that are just starting up,” Jerow said. “All these funds we raise at these two events, sometimes as high as $25,000 in good years, we donate back to the local community. We have a donation process these funds go into and an application process, and we push it back out.”

The event will be 5 to 8 p.m. April 15.

Tickets are $40. Wine tickets are $20 and glass purchases are required. Designated driver tickets are $20. Tickets include food samples, live music, giveaways and a 50/50 raffle.

Most exhausting time of the year

ob s e r v ation Dig in for comfort

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker What is it about macaroni and cheese?

While handy smartphone applications designed to track our intake of calories will warn that the creamy pasta dish can push to our daily limits in a single serving, it still makes our dietary “cheat” list. Whether it is this one or some other so-called comfort food, we all crave, well, comfort. Certainly, the simple sugars and fat content fill our bellies. But isn’t its appeal more than an intentional nap inducement? It is a reminder of simpler times and fond memories of meals long-passed.

Whatever the root of our fascination, we seek the consistent redundancy of the familiar reassurance to calm when our lives overwhelm. As such, books, films, vacation spots and even favorite pants can serve a similar function. We inveterate channel-surfers will pause for a re-run of a long-cancelled sitcom to be reminded of an episode that we’ve already enjoyed a dozen times before. We know the plot – twists, turns and all. Yet, we hang on each scene anxiously awaiting the delivery of the next line. In a confusing and complicated world, it brings a long-sought sense of order.

Does a false sense of omnipotence give us a false sense of control? Or, are we justifiably eager to pursue a venue to satisfaction that we know will consummate? With so many promises unfulfilled, are we right to seek the proven and shun the unknown?

Long days and short nights can wear us down. We work to make our way in a world that seems increasingly unfamiliar and unsettled. Change is at our doorstep and cannot be kept at bay. Some, we embrace. Too much can overwhelm. If a bit of comfort helps us cope, let’s dig in.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Trump thinks his rule infallible Editor, I was confused by a reader’s recent attempt to cast her Trump vote as a vote for capitalism while framing the opposition to Trump as Mao-loving socialists (“The Cultural Revolution,” March 14).

Has she not listened to any of Trump’s rhetoric over the last two years? Our 45th president espouses a protectionist trade policy with flourishes of nationalized industry. He favors restrictive tariffs and other economic artifice over letting the global market self-regulate. In lieu of a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, Trump doles out favors and looks for kickbacks.

If this reader is truly fearful of living in a country in which “the religion of worshipping the state” is given primacy over all other things, then she voted for the wrong candidate for president.

Trump thinks the rule of the state – his rule – is infallible. He is a dictator. He uses the language of autocracy, of state nationalism just like Lenin, just like Stalin, and yes, just like Mao Zedong. This formula of insult, humiliation, domination, branding, enemy forming and name calling hasn’t changed since the Cultural Revolution; it’s just wearing a cheap red baseball cap that says “Make America Great Again” instead of the red-starred olive hat of the People’s Liberation Army.

Brian Sweany, Fishers

This is the time of year, folks, that I am perpetually exhausted.

As a parent, I’m tired of the humor dance and color guard competitions that I feel compelled out of guilt to attend. As a teacher, I’m overwhelmed by the fact that we still have two months left in the school year when I’ve been over it since the godforsaken time change three weeks ago. And as a mom, if I have to clean up one more muddy paw or footprint, you will probably find me apoplectic and naked in the hard liquor aisle at Meijer.

Enough already. Let’s just get summer here!

Seriously. Spring is stupid. The weather can’t make up its mind, one day snowing and the next a balmy 75. I can’t store away the parkas and boots, but I also have to have shorts and flip-flops at the ready. On rainy afternoons, I feel happy because I have an excuse to sit on my couch and do nothing, but then the sun will come out and shine on those show-off daffodils, and I feel miserable for sitting on my couch and doing nothing. Perhaps most significantly, all the sports worth watching come to end by mid-April, and I’ve nothing to fill the void except U18 rec soccer, which more often than not gets cancelled because of lightening or funnel clouds.

True, my beloved Kentucky Derby takes place the first Saturday in May, and, of course, there’s a car race around here that people seem to like, but apart from those, why bother? Why can’t we just skip to July, bring out the heat and cold beer and get down to enjoying the best few months of the year? No homework battles, no early morning alarms and no plastic Easter grass to cut out of the Bissell. Because frankly, I’m just exhausted!

Peace out.

Dangerous vacation reading Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Teacher OF THE MONTH

CONGRATULATIONS!

The winners for February’s Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Edge Guys, are: Teacher Miss Adkins • Student Andrew Taylor St. Simon The winning teacher will receive a $50 visa gift card from Edge Guys and the winning essayist will win a pizza party for their class, courtesy of Papa John’s.

The next deadline for submitting essays is April 28. Send a 100-word essay describing your favorite teacher to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

Mary Ellen is planning our 2017 summer vacation to the Canadian Rockies. Back in 2007, we went to the Grand humor Canyon, the only place in America where you’re allowed to drag your kid to the precipice of one of the world’s deepest chasms, but they put you in the slammer if you feed a squirrel.

In the gift shop on the South Rim, the clerk recommended a book called — hold on to your hat (actually, hold on to anything you can) — “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.” What a charming choice for fans of light summer reading.

The authors do not restrict their colorful travelogue to unscheduled plunges to the bottom. They want you to know that with a little bit of poor planning, you can also die of dehydration or starvation.

Apparently, the canyon is safe if you are careful, but the book seems oddly misplaced in the gift shop so close to, well, the edge. There aren’t pamphlets relating the history of scaldings on the counter of McDonald’s or brochures about whimsical power-tool mishaps attached to your chainsaw purchases.

Other entertaining stories in the book include bear attacks, drownings and rock slides. Maybe I’m an optimist but I look at it this way: just a few hundred deaths in 6 million years. That’s not a bad record.

In one touching chapter, a man makes tea for his wife out of a deadly canyon flower, and they both die within minutes. In another, a woman tries to pet a mountain lion. An elderly couple got lost in their 1996 Taurus on a back road. They were found dehydrated, but still alive. They had no water but a week’s supply of Depends. I’d call that ironic.

Travelers from abroad love the Grand Canyon. Europeans winter in Arizona. Asians summer in the Canyon. Americans usually fall there. Approximately 600 feet. That’s just an average, though; your actual plummet may vary.

This summer, we probably can’t avoid dangerous cliffs, windy roads and harsh weather. But we will stay away from bookstores.

Blood center to open new site

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana Blood Center has long operated a site in Fishers, but the address will soon change. growth New features and updates are on the way, too.

“Right now, I do know over the years we have had some really strong recruiters, and that brings donors into that donor center. Once donors come into the center, what keeps them is good customer service so donors continue to come back when they feel like they’ve been treated well and fulfill their goal to help someone else,” Blood Collection Manager Tajuana Ryder said. “When we can do that, that brings a return donor to help a person with their feel-good experience.

It’s up to us to create a positive donor experience.”

Ryder said donors can expect an intimate feel at the new blood center, 11003 C Allisonville Rd. “This new space gives more recognition to donor stories and patient stories,” Ryder said.

The current center, 7458 Fishers Station Dr., was expected to undergo renova-

Blood Collection Manager Tajuana Ryder said the new Fishers space for the Indiana Blood Center is warm and inviting. (Submitted rendering)

tions, but when a Kroger was proposed for the area, Ryder said it seemed like a prime time to move.

“At the time we were informed (of the Kroger), we were deciding to remodel the interior of the donor center, anyway, so we just went ahead and made the full move to stay in the Fishers area and continue serving the Fishers population,” Ryder said. “(The new space is) such a warmer feeling and inviting. It’s a more intimate setting for our center and some nice upgrades to the interior so people can expect a whole new look.”

An open house at the new center will be 9 to 10 a.m. April 13. For more, visit indianablood.org.

Thrasher earns prestigious award

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Andrew Thrasher has earned a rare honor in his field.

The Noblesville resident, a chartered market techaccomplishment nician and portfolio manager at Financial Enhancement Group, LLC in Fishers, was named the 2017 recipient of the Charles H. Dow Award for his research paper on “Forecasting a Volatility Thrasher Tsunami.” The award is presented annually by the Market Technicians Association.

“Each year they evaluate different aspects of financial research to determine if any are to their standards to receive this award,” Thrasher said. “Some years they don’t give it to anyone at all if nothing meets their standards.”

Thrasher will be presented with the award and a cash prize of $5,000 during the MTA Global Investment Confer-

ence, April 6-7, in New York City.

Thrasher’s research paper provides a unique view on market volatility, providing a method for evaluating time periods that precede large swings in the Volatility

“I believe the way a lot of commentators and a lot of investment professionals evaluate volatility is wrong.

They believe that just because volatility is low that means it can go much higher. I think that’s a poor method of evaluation. So what I argue is an alternative method of evaluating volatility.”

Index and U.S. equity markets.

“Marketing volatility is a way to measure fear within the market,” Thrasher said. “So, when the equities are going higher, volatility is going lower and there is less fear of prices going down. I believe

the way a lot of commentators and a lot of investment professionals evaluate volatility is wrong. They believe that just because volatility is low that means it can go much higher. I think that’s a poor method of evaluation. So what I argue is an alternative method of evaluating volatility.”

At age 30, Thrasher is one of the younger recipients of the award.

“Most of the people that have won are further along in their careers,” Thrasher said.

The Dow Award, which was established in 1994, recognizes outstanding research in technical analysis conducted by financial industry practitioners and academics. Entries are evaluated based on the submitted paper’s ability to enhance the understanding of market action, the concepts of technical analysis and the comprehensive research presented.

Thrasher graduated from Purdue University in 2009 with a bachelor's of science degree in financial counseling and planning. His wife, Abigail, is a Purdue graduate.

Airmail balloon exhibit now open

By Heather Collins news@currentinfishers.com Conner Prairie’s 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit will open March 28. According to Brian Mancuso, director of exhibits, the 1859 “Balloon Voyage” family fun exhibit celebrates what’s widely recognized as the first airmail delivery. In 1859, balloonist John Wise in Lafayette, unsuccessfully attempted the first airmail delivery. According to Mancuso, nearly 15,000 people attended the lift-off of the hot air balloon.

The 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit allows participants to explore the 1859 voyage, discover the rigors of airmail by balloon and get a closer look at all the work required to lift a balloon into the sky.

Tom Crouch, American aeronautics historian and National Air and Space Museum curator, assisted Conner Prairie in the development of the new Create-Connect augmented experience for the 1859 “Balloon Voyage” exhibit.

The exhibit includes a photo opportunity and several interactive and sensory ex-

periences, including a scale that measures a person by how many party balloons it would take to lift them off of the ground. According to Mancuso, it would take roughly 3,000 party balloons to lift the average person off the ground.

The exhibit also includes a ride in Conner Prairie’s authentic hot air balloon, which lifts riders 350 feet into the air.

“It’s like the cherry on top. There’s nothing like feeling that balloon tug you up off the ground and tug you skyward,” Mancuso said.

According to Mancuso, on a clear day, the downtown Indianapolis skyline is viewable.

Special tickets are required to ride the 1859 Balloon Voyage. In additional to general admission, ticket prices for balloon rides are $12 for members, $15 for non-members. Symphony on the Prairie Balloon Voyages are $17 per member and $20 per non-member.

Main Street Poke to bring healthy options

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Brinna Voege is only 25 years old, but the Carmel High School graduate has a decade of experience in the food service industry.

More importantly, she knows new biz she’s got a great concept: a quick-service, healthy food option where customers can customize bowls of rice, fish, vegetables and sauce.

Voege met her future business partner David Tang at Vitality Bowls, where Voege worked. While attending a training session in California, she tried a dish of Hawaiian raw tuna salad called poke, pronounced "poh-kay.”

“Basically, I ate poke the whole time,” she said. “It made perfect sense to bring this idea back to Indiana."

Voege is shooting for a May opening for Main Street Poke at 110 W. Main St., Suite 106, next to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang hair salon in Carmel.

A healthy poke bowl with fish, vegetables and various sauces. (Submitted photo)

She describes Main Street Poke as a similar set up to Chipotle. Customers start by choosing a bowl of sushi rice, brown rice or spring mix salad and then add fish, which can include shrimp, eel, salmon, ahi tuna and others. They can add vegetables such

as tofu, avocado, carrots, cucumber, green onions, corn, peppers or others and dress it with a sauce such as a soy sauce, a spicy mayonnaise, a hot sauce or a sweet sauce. Other toppings can be added, such as fried onions or Asian noodles.

Voege said it’s the perfect way to eat healthy but also have something that tastes great.

“I think the new trend will be people eating healthier,” she said.

Voege said many people say they want to eat healthy but wind up going through a drivethru because it’s quick and convenient. She said Main Street Poke will be an efficient way to get lunch quickly and eat healthy.

“It really only takes as long to make it as it takes for you to decide what you want,” she said.

If it’s successful, Voege said a location could open in Fishers.

Main Street Poke is hiring. Applicants can apply in person at the location on Main Street.

“Having a cultural arts district in our city is a great economic development tool and improves the quality of life for those who live here,” Kenley stated. The pair noted that the City of Noblesville currently offers more than 300 cultural arts events through various organizations each year. Noblesville joins Bloomington, Carmel, Columbus, Lafayette, Madison and Nashville in the Indiana Statewide Cultural Districts Program.

Blueprint for Improvement: Updated kitchen and living areas Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal for these areas was to improve functionality and openness, maximize storage space and strategically design the aesthetics to feel continuous throughout.

1. The kitchen cabinets were replaced and now wrap around the kitchen, creating additional storage.

Also, a separate buffet area was added to include a beverage fridge and additional countertop space.

2. The countertops were updated to granite and an intricate backsplash was added. The new undermount sink, faucet and undercabinet lighting are perfect touches to add functionality and task lighting.

3. New durable tile flooring was installed in the kitchen, back hall and laundry room.

4. The wall between the sunroom and living room was removed to create one larger space. The half-wall between the dining and living areas was also removed.

5. To complete the continuous aesthetic flow of the entire open space, the fireplace was updated with the same tile used as the kitchen accent backsplash tile.

Before Background Info: These owners reside in the Parks at White River neighborhood in Fishers. They knew they wanted to update their kitchen and adjacent living spaces but did not really know where to start.

Before problems: The previous kitchen was outdated with tile countertops, dysfunctional storage space and insufficient lighting. Part of the bamboo flooring was missing due to a leak. They also wanted to make the adjacent living spaces feel like one connected area with the kitchen. A half-wall between the dining and living areas, as well as a full-height wall between the living and sunroom areas, were prohibiting this open concept. The fireplace also needed cosmetic updates.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The Dangers of Social Media During Divorce

Hire Us

Before Your Spouse Does DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW MEDIATION & COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law DUI 317.DIVORCE | www.hzlegal.com 11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

I can see what you see. The proliferation of social media has allowed us to share events with friends and family across the globe. Through pictures, tweets, status updates and a host of sites, a virtual travelogue of someone’s life is available. . .to everyone. In the world of divorce litigation, however, this has given rise to an entirely new method of collecting information and, ultimately, evidence to put before a court charged with deciding divisions of assets and custody of children. With the popularity of social media, the internet is filled with information from online profiles. Users who are unaware of the broad availability of this information to a former spouse or opposing counsel are posting at their own risk. With so much of what is posted being available to “share,” it is nearly impossible to control access to this information. Further, as part of information exchanges common to divorce proceedings, it is now common to request the entire history of a Twitter account or Facebook page, so even if your privacy settings would not allow the former spouse or counsel to see your account in real time, they will get to comb over all your pictures and posts to pick out those which can cast you in a negative light.

Tweeting evidence. That great picture of you and a bunch of friends doing shots before the concert received 62 “likes,” 22 “comments,” and 5 “shares.” Now it’s being presented to a Court to show that you left the children with a sitter while

you went out and got drunk. Fair or unfair, in the hands of an experienced litigator that post can speak volumes about your priorities, bad habits and even the quality of your parenting.

That “vent” about how the children would be so much better off if your ex joined the Peace Corps and vanished from their lives? It’s being presented to argue that you’ve done all you can to alienate the children. These are just examples of “normal” interactions through social media that, in the context of a contested divorce, can be damaging to your position and compromise your arguments to a court.

How is it used? The Indiana Court of Appeals recently ruled that witness testimony identifying a Twitter account taken together with the posted content was enough to authenticate that the account belonged to a criminal defendant without the identification of the account by the defendant himself. Of course, the most common way for that evidence to make it before the Court will be to have the actual person identify the account and the questionable position during cross-examination. Don’t let this be you!

The Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

James Smithson’s legacy Commentary by Don Knebel The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., is often called the “nation’s attic” because of its extraordinary travel collection of more than 150 million items. It is named for James Smithson, who made his only trip to the United States after his death.

Smithson was born in Paris sometime in 1765, the illegitimate son of an English nobleman and a wealthy widow. Smithson spent his adult life traveling throughout Europe, often in the company of Europe’s scientific elite, studying a wide variety of natural phenomena. He published 27 papers about his conclusions, including one about how to brew a better cup of coffee. One of Smithson’s papers resulted in a mineral being named “smithsonite” in his honor.

When Smithson, who never married, died in Italy in 1829, his will specified that his assets were to go to the United States, which he had never visited, to found “the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” After considerable debate, the government accepted 105 bags of gold coins worth more than $11 million today, at the time almost 2 percent of the entire federal budget. In 1846, Congress created the Smithsonian Institution as a center for research and as a repository for the government’s growing scientific collections.

Smithsonian Institution’s “Castle” in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Don Knebel)

In 1855, a red sandstone building, combining Romanesque and Gothic details, was completed just east of the Washington Monument, then under construction, as the home of the Smithsonian Institution.

In 1904, Alexander Graham Bell traveled to Italy and returned with the disinterred body of James Smithson, which was reinterred in the building now known as “the Castle” because of its towers. Today, the Smithsonian Institution’s collection is distributed among 19 different museums.

Smithson’s crypt is still displayed on the first floor of the Castle, which houses the Institution’s administrative offices and a visitors’ center.
