The extent of the fallen nature of humanity is exactly 100 percent, save one.

Scripture says, “All have fallen faith sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That means there is not one who is perfect and lives a life measuring up to God’s standards.

The question then for our day is: If we all recognize that none of us is perfect, that none of us is immune to temptations, interpretations, knowledge or wisdom, why do we believe then that our leaders, past, present and future, must be perfect to accept their contributions? And if their frailties and imperfections begin to show, we reject not only their shortcomings, but also their achievements.

Can we not accept that we have leaders who gave us the greatest democratic document in world history who also were flawed individuals? Can we not recognize the greatness of a Martin Luther and simply accept that he, too, was not perfect but had his own fears and failures? Can we celebrate a John Kennedy for his vision of an even greater nation in spite of his temp-

tations that he at times gave into? Can we embrace the divine truths spoken by a Martin Luther King Jr. without having to have every detail of his life perfect?

It is time that we as a people put away our idolatry of leader, government, celebrity and ideology worship and begin again to worship the creator instead of his creation.

Perhaps this would save us the trouble of rewriting history at every juncture to fit our preconceived idea of what our leaders should be like. God says, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14) To read the full column, visit geistcurrent.com.

Pressed into service Looking to run, Geist resident ends up running Free to Breathe 5K

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When her father was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2016, Kathy Oneacre was looking cover story for a way to do her part in the battle.

An avid runner, the Geist-area resident learned of a run/walk event that raised funds for lung cancer research, held two miles from her home at Fort Harrison State Park.

The Free to Breathe run/walk will be held Sept. 24. The event hosts a 5K and a onemile run/walk.

When Oneacre contacted the national organization in January to see if the race would be held again in 2017, events manager Sara Peterson from the national office said they were looking for a chair for the Indianapolis race.

“I said sure, not knowing what I was getting into,” said Oneacre, who will be way too busy to be a runner in the race.

“It’s odd that it’s there because I live 2 miles from it, and I had never heard of it.

It’s not been a timed race in the past, and I’m usually more competitive. I usually run 5Ks, 10Ks or half-marathons. It’s been more of a fundraising walk/run versus a timecompetitive race. We’re doing both this year and maybe will attract more people.”

Oneacre’s father, Tom Bowers, has gone through a few rounds of chemotherapy and recently finished a round of radiation. Bowers lives in Milford, Ohio, near Cincinnati.

“They gave him three months off because the tumor shrank,” said Oneacre, a medical writer who formerly was a physical therapist. “It was on his lung and part of his ribs.

It is considered a Stage 4 cancer.”

However, the outlook is now positive.

“He’s coming here for the race and plans to walk,” Oneacre said. “There’s a 1-mile walk, but he’d never do that. He’s going to walk the 5K. He works out three times a week. You wouldn’t even know (about the cancer) if you looked at him. He’s doing great.”

Oneacre said she and her father used to run 5K races together.

Team Randy gear includes matching hats and Free to Breathe bracelets.

“He’s been working different routes that have hills to get ready for the race,” she said.

Oneacre has two daughters, Savannah, a senior at Clemson, and Katie, a freshman at the University of Alabama. Both are Lawrence North High School graduates.

“My 13-year-old son won’t run it because he plays soccer and runs cross country that weekend, but he’s going to volunteer,” Oneacre said.

Colm is an eighth-grader at Fall Creek

Valley Middle School. Oneacre and her husband, Todd, who teaches seventh- and eighth-grade science at St. Louis de Montfort School in Fishers, compete in trail races together.

Savannah got a scholarship to Clemson through the Army ROTC and will be commissioned after she graduates in May 2018.

Oneacre said her father, who was in the Army, is motivated to be present for the commission ceremony so he can give her the traditional first salute.

Honoring father’s memory Geist resident Victoria Novilla got involved after her father, Randy Compton, a Lawrence resident, died from lung cancer in August 2012.

“We looked up (the race), and it was shortly after he passed away that we started putting a team together in my dad’s honor,” said Novilla, who teaches fourth grade at Amy Beverland Elementary in Lawrence. “My sister lives in Oregon.

My brother lives in Colorado and has been to the races, but he hasn’t been to all of them.”

Novilla and her family run in the race.

Novilla’s mother, Neddy Compton, attends the run to provide support.

“We wanted to get awareness out and have a team to keep my dad’s memory going,” Novilla said. “I ran cross country in high school (Warren Central) and college (Vincennes University) but not so much as an adult. We decided we wanted to do something as a family, have my kids involved. It’s definitely a kid-friendly race.”

Novilla and her husband, Mel, have two sons, Nicholas, 11, and Elias, 8.

“When we do the run or jog, we talk about memories about my dad the whole time,” Novilla said. “They were young when he died, but they know him because I talk about him, and we have videos.”

Novilla said she wants to increase education about lung cancer.

“Lung cancer isn’t just because you smoke,” Novilla said. “It’s pollution, it’s second-hand (smoke), it’s environment.

So it's just to get more kids educated as well.”

Novilla also helps with the Up and Running Club at her school.

“I’m going to have them participate in the race to get them more involved and aware,” she said.

Suffering the insufferable

ob s e r v a tion Food for thought Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The silly little rituals that we do become the distinct and enormously important markers that identify us as a part of, or excluded from, a social group. A pierced ear can imply one thing for a man, a different thing for a woman, and yet another for a child. Why don’t we pierce our pet’s ears but we do to the animals we eat? And a piercing in the eyebrow, nose or nether region can project an entirely different message. Still, why do we feel compelled to stick any foreign object through our bodies?

The rituals around food are among the most varied and interesting. Much is related to resources. If we keep animals that produce milk, we eat cheese. If we live by the sea, we eat fish. We prepare, serve, share and consume our meals along very old and established lines. Growing up in rural Indiana, fresh vegetables were abundant and cheap. Each meal included crudités, a platter of them, raw. No civilized restaurant would dare start a meal without them.

Today, this pattern, one could imagine, has been replaced by the review and consideration of the appetizer. How is it that we came to need food to make us hungry for more food? It may be true that there is nothing better than a deep-fried jalapeno popper with a cold beer. Yet, isn’t small food still food?

When is the thing that we believe to be the warm-up actually the thing itself? Can we claim that the set-up is somehow different from the doing without deceiving ourselves into believing that small food calories don’t count? When we imagine that we are waiting to begin living our lives, are we simply living a different life already?

Insufferable (adjective): too extreme to bear; intolerable.

I’m bringing the term back, humor my friends. Why? Because I find myself using this wonderfully crafted word almost every single day – starting with one of my daughters.

Don’t get me wrong. I love her. She’s weird, but in a cool, I-don’t-give-a-rat’stail-about-what-any-of-you-think way. Her self-confidence is truly astonishing, given her questionable sense of style and her often-untamable mane of red hair. But she spends a large portion of her week with her color guard pals, 70-plus teenage girls who are wading through the drama of high school; sometimes together, sometimes not so much. Every night when I drive her home, I’m subjected to the latest “Mom, can you believe she did that?” and “Can I just tell you what happened with (insert girl’s name here)?” Trust me when I say it is with sheer force of will that I can keep from openly eye-rolling. Verdict? My daughter has become insufferable. Because I never hear “Hi, Mom. How was your day?” Or even “Can we talk about those Kardashians?”

Our half-hour together is literally her venting about people I don’t know and how she’s clearly above it all.

Insufferable also comes to mind whenever I hear our president. Whether he’s tweeting, campaigning or speaking off-script, I’m reminded of my 16-year-old. Just like her, he’s too extreme to bear. That’s insufferable, folks. I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s far more poetic than “poop show,” which is what I used to call him and, arguably, more on point. Luckily, I’m not required by parenting law to love him! Peace out.

Golf to benefit Indiana charities

Commentary by Lynn Wolf

Knights of Columbus of Fishers is holding a charity golf outing at the Sagamore Golf Club in event Noblesville, 10900 Golden Bear Way. The outing is Sept. 7, with registration starting at 9 a.m. Proceeds from the 23rd annual golf outing will benefit Indiana charities, including Gibault, Little Sisters of the Poor, Birthright International, The Cherish Center, the Lord's Pantry at Anna's House and Third Phase Christian Center.

Thanks to generous sponsors and golfers, the Knights of Columbus of Fishers has contributed more than $400,000 to charities throughout Indiana.

With more than 1.6 million members, The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal organization. The Fishers council works closely with St. Louis de Montfort parish in Fishers and the Holy Spirit at Geist parish. The Knights of Columbus of Fishers combine brotherhood with philanthropic events to help those in need throughout the community.

One of the organizations benefiting from this golf outing is Gibault in Terre Haute. Gibault was founded by the Indiana Knights of Columbus in 1921 and has grown through the years to serve

more than 10,000 children and their families. Serving children who have been victims of emotional or physical trauma and neglect, Gibault has helped kids from every county in Indiana.

The Knights of Columbus golf outing also benefits The Little Sisters of the Poor, an international congregation of Roman Catholic women serving the elderly poor in more than 30 nations around the world. Their mission is to provide the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home. Locally, they operate the St. Augustine Home in Indianapolis.

Because of the generosity of the community and organizations such as the Knights of Columbus, The St. Augustine Home is able to serve about 100 residents. Most are native Hoosiers in their mid- to late 80s. For more information on the St. Augustine Home or The Little Sisters of the Poor, go to www.littlesistersofthepoortindianapolis.org.

There is still time to sign up for the Knights of Columbus golf outing. Register at kofc6923.org/golf and enjoy a fun day of golf while supporting these worthy charities.

Remembering Jerry Lewis Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Anne-Marie Briscoe

Catherine Michael

Thomas Blessing

Ashley Roncevic

KENA HOLLINGSWORTH Founding Partner

CHRISTINA ZIVITZ Founding Partner

I dedicated my performance at Indy Fringe last week to the late Jerry Lewis. Born Jerry Levtich, he humor traced his ancestry to Eastern Europe, the origins of classic Jewish literature and the humor that came as a response to the repression Jews experienced for millennia. I never met Jerry Lewis, but my closest friend for almost 60 years, Burt Dubrow (now an independent TV producer in L.A)., worked with Jerry on several of his Muscular Dystrophy Telethons. I talked to Burt about his hero and mine.

How would Jerry like to be remembered?

He’d want to be remembered as someone who made a difference. I don’t think he felt appreciated for what he did for MD. He raised billions of dollars for kids with neuromuscular diseases.

Did other comics recognize his value?

My favorite quote was from Jim Carrey, who said in so many words after he heard about Jerry’s death, that there would be no Jim Carrey without Jerry Lewis.

Do you think he felt underestimated as a filmmaker?

In this country, yes. In France, no. There,

they compared him to Chaplin. “The Nutty Professor” was one of the biggest films of its time. He didn’t get credit until way after.

Why did he not get the credit due?

Slapstick may look silly, but he was meticulous in what he did. If you look at his sight gags in his movies, even the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis movies, it was all very choreographed.

The MD Telethon was part of my childhood. That’s the first time I saw some of those amazing stars and performers, all there for Jerry and for the kids.

Jerry did the telethon between 1966 and 2010, and he raised something like $2.5 billion. He was the face of those MD children.

He loved those kids, stayed in touch with many of them.

Mark’s take: Family owned and operated since the 1960s, Michaelangelo’s Italian Bistro is a Noblesville original. Great Italian cuisine is the order of the day with an impressive wine list.

What to get: My all-time favorite is the Lasagna Classico with crumbled meatballs and sausage ricotta. It’s a traditional favorite that tastes best with a red wine.

Interior of Mausoleum of Muhammad V in Rabat, Morocco. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A monument of tolerance

The Children’s Museum Guild’s

Presented by

S FAM I B IA

LY

Rabat, situated along the Atlantic Ocean, is the capital of Morocco. Its most visited site honors a king who protravel tected Morocco’s Jews during the Holocaust.

In 1927, the French, who gained control of Morocco in 1912, designated 18-year-old Sidi Mohammed ben Yusef as Morocco’s sultan, or ruler. In 1940, the pro-Nazi regime of Vichy France ordered the sultan, a direct descendant of Muhammad, to impose severe restrictions on Morocco’s 250,000 Jews, who had lived in Morocco for centuries.

Insisting that his title as Commander of the Faithful required that he treat all Moroccans equally, he refused. When Allied forces liberated Morocco in 1942, its Jewish community remained unharmed, with Jews still working in the sultan’s government. Sultan Muhammad, grateful for Morocco’s liberation, hosted the historic Allied conference in Casablanca in 1943.

When Morocco gained its independence in 1957, Sultan Muhammad became King Muhammad V. After he died suddenly in

1961, 75,000 Jews were among the public mourners. In 1962, King Muhammad’s son, King Hassan II, began construction of a mausoleum for his father near the river Bou Regreg. The mausoleum, completed in 1971, is a magnificent example of classic Moroccan architecture, with a gleaming white exterior and a green tile roof. Interior walls are covered with mosaics, and the carved ceiling is covered in gold leaf. The mausoleum now includes the white onyx tombs of King Hassan II and his brother, along with that of Muhammad V, located in the center. Visitors of all religions are allowed inside the mausoleum, which also serves as a mosque, where they can also observe a traditionally dressed man sitting in the corner, reading from the Quran.

Rabat’s mausoleum is not only a monument to a king, it is a monument to tolerance and respect.
