Hofmann announces run for mayor

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com City of Lawrence Deputy Mayor Dave Hofmann announced his candidacy for mayor Sept. 22, a few days CITY NEWS after incumbent Steve Collier said he won’t seek reelection in 2023.

Before serving as deputy mayor, Hofmann was appointed Lawrence’s chief of staff in March. Prior to that, he served six years as chief of the Lawrence Police Dept. Beforebecoming Lawrence’s police chief he served as an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept. officer for nearly 20 years. Hofmann is a Lawrence resident and has lived in the city since 1997.

Despite his immersion in the city, he plans to become even more engaged in the community.

“Although I’ve been around (Lawrence) for almost 30 years now, there may be people out there that don’t know me,” Hofmann

said. “So, 14 months is what I’ve got to get out and become recognizable and to build people’s trust, and again, it goes back to that consistent career of public service.”

Hofmann said his main campaign focus is public safety by providing additional support and staffing for the police department, fire department and medics. He also wants to continue the growth of the Lawrence parks system and maintain public infrastructure, whether that be repaving roads or filling potholes.

Hofmann said he wants to build off the work of Collier, who won’t seek a third term to spend more time with his family.

“I just love (Lawrence). I think it’s a great city and I think all facets of our city’s operations are running really well right now,” Hofmann said. “I want to expand these good things that we’re doing and continue to help make Lawrence a place that people are proud to live.”

City of Fishers looks at redistricting

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com The City of Fishers has grown exponentially since 2010, according to the 2020 census. The growth means GOVERNMENT that the Fishers City Council must redraw district lines before the next city election in 2023, but according to law, redistricting must be completed before Nov. 8 of the prior year.

City Attorney Chris Greisl presented the new proposed district lines during the Sept. 19 Fishers City Council meeting and said that, per Indiana and federal law, the districts should be nearly equal in population, with the gap between the largest and smallest populations being less than 10 percent. Currently, without adjustment, the disparity between the largest district in Fishers and the smallest is about 30 per-

cent, according to Greisl.

The council was presented a new map of redrawn district lines. The presentation received mixed feedback from councilors, mostly because of the Gray Eagle subdivision being split into two districts.

Council member Brad DeReamer, who represents the Northeast District, said he has heard from many constituents that they do not support the proposed map that splits the Gray Eagle subdivision. He has submitted an alternate map that does not split it.

“I think a subdivision should have the same representation,” DeReamer said. “If it’s split, then (residents are) going to have to depend on two people to try to get something done. And if one counselor agrees, and the other doesn’t, then you’ve lost the ability to negotiate with the council because now you’ve got one ‘yes’ and one ‘no’, so I just don’t think that’s fair.”

Council President Todd Zimmerman dis-

agreed. He said having two councilors represent a subdivision might not be a bad thing.

“I do understand there could be confusion of, ‘Who do I talk to?’’’ Zimmerman said.

“If there’s two representatives, you then have five individuals — two districts and three at-large (councilors) representing one neighborhood.”

Council member Jocelyn Vare, one of only two Democrats on the nine-member council, raised concerns that redrawing the map wasn’t a bipartisan process and requested easier access for the public to review the maps. For more, visit fishers.in.us/292/ City-Council.

The deadline to approve the new city council districts is Nov. 8. The first reading was presented at the Sept. 19 city council meeting. It will go to the council for a final vote at the next council meeting set for Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at Launch Fishers. If passed, the new map would take effect upon approval.

Hoosiers in the 87th District have been represented for quite some time by failed leadership; this is something I cannot stand by and allow to happen. Crime rates have increased, and new business investment is at a record low. The incumbent has not been an ally to the business community and to the commonwealth of the 87th. I promise to be a strong advocate for business development and retention by making sure I author and co-author bills that will protect our businesses and invigorate growth within the district by working across the aisle with Democrats and like-minded people alike.

What are your qualifications for this office? My ongoing ties to this community give me insight into the issues facing my fellow citizens. I’m dedicated to creating innovative, long-term opportunities that improve their way of life.

What are the top three issues that your campaign will focus on? An education system that works best for people from all walks of life, to promote a business environment that will bring much-needed development to the 87th District and promote a safe environment for the community by funding much-needed tools for law enforcement.

What sets you apart from other candidates for this office?

I have solidified my passion for Indiana and a desire to represent my community in the Statehouse. I am here to answer the call from many Hoosiers seeking change.

The community at large wants a candidate that can be bipartisan and that works for all of them. I know this to be the best ingredient to any form of success for my beloved state.

How long have you lived in your district? I have lived in the district for 17 years.

What other organizations are you involved with? I am a new member of the Civil Air Patrol. Nuclear Reaction Drumline (Chicagoland area) Instructor Something you want people to know about you? I will do my best to inspire the Hoosiers of the 87th District not to give up on a better direction. I want people to know that I will stand with every citizen in their fight for their right to pursue the American dream and uphold all rights the Constitution affords to all free Americans.

Fishers senior tennis player benefits from controlling emotions

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School senior Reese Knoderer used to be his own worst enemy.

That’s not been as much of a problem this season.

“He’s learned to control his emotions better,” Fishers tennis coach Dave Heffern said. “He’s really talented but he’s Knoderer always kind of gotten in his own way. Now, he doesn’t get too down on himself when he makes a mistake. That was his problem before. He would make a mistake and get so down on himself that he would make two more.”

Knoderer captured the Hoosier Crossroads Conference Tournament title at No. 1 singles for the first time by beating Hamilton Southeastern senior Rohan Golla, in straight sets. It was the first time Knoderer had beaten Golla.

“Our conference is so tough to win, I was proud of him last weekend,” Heffern said.

Heffern said Golla had beaten Knoderer in

“I think I have improved the most in my mentality, which has decreased my level of play the most throughout my career,” Knoderer said. “It’s a frustrating sport, but if you can keep it under control, it gives you a greater advantage.”

Knoderer said it’s easier for Heffern to coach him when he’s level-headed.

“The experience of playing against No. 1 singles players is really great since there are so many high-level players,” said Knoderer,

who had a record of 18-3 through Sept. 26.

“It was very fun to be playing No. 1 since freshman year since I got to play really good senior players so young. This gave me so much experience starting out my high school career since I played many players that went on to play (NCAA) Division I In college.

Knoderer said he plans to play college tennis, but his goal is to play at the Division I level.

“I am trying to figure out where I want to go to college,” Knoderer said. “I plan on graduating from high school a semester early to get a better shot at a scholarship at Division I level,” Knoderer said.

Heffern said he believes Knoderer has enough talent to play at a Division I level.

“Attitude is even more important in college,” Heffern said.

Knoderer grew up mostly playing baseball and tennis.

“But I had to choose between the two at 10 years old when I had a stress fracture in my lower back,” he said. “I also played soccer and basketball.”

Knoderer’s older brother Nic, a 2019 FHS graduate, also played No. 1 singles for the Tigers.

Nonprofit hosts fundraiser

Thursday, October 13 Thursday, October 13

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Llama’s Group held its annual fundraising event Sept. 21 at Culvers in Fishers, just off Olio Road.

The group is a nonprofit that gives kids the opportunity to show llamas in the county 4-H and other competitions in the area.

Organization founder and leader of the 4-H group, Marilyn Nenni, said she started the 4-H group with her husband nearly 35 years ago to get kids involved with llama’s and 4-H in the county. When the couple decided to downsize their farm, they donated all their llamas and equipment to start the group and created the nonprofit in 2015.

Today, the Hamilton County Llama’s Group has a farm on 161st Street, just east of Gray Road in Noblesville. The program allows kids to “lease a llama” or take care of a certain animal without having to buy supplies or have a farm. There are about 80 kids in the group, according to Nenni. Participants rotate to care for the animals, so someone is there nearly every day. Nenni said the kids

help care for about 60 llamas. “(The kids are) promoting agriculture and 4-H and just learning how to work with animals and communicate and train them,” Nenni said. “It’s a great group of youth of all ages from third through 12th grade. They all work together with helping each other and training and learning about the animals. It provides big leadership opportunities.”

COVER STORY

Indian Creek Elementary Students learn about the importance of bees

By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com LaMonica Henson’s Indian Creek Elementary School’s third-grade class recently started its learning unit on bees.

The unit isn’t a standard lesson on bees, though. Henson’s class spoke with experts in the field about real and robotic bees.

The theme for third grade at Indian Creek Elementary is apples, so all the classes are learning about things related to the fruit.

“We always learn about apples in third grade. We have for years and years done the apple unit and gone to the apple orchard,” Henson said. “But we never talked about it from the angle of, ‘You can’t have apples without bees.’”

Henson also wanted to ensure her students learned the importance of bees, how they can help the environment and what people can do to help save the bees. That is why Henson also applied for — and received — a grant from Whole Foods for $1,500 to purchase materials for installation of a beehive and $500 to get the hive started. The hive won’t be up until the spring.

“I think people should be aware that bees are on the decline and it’s because of our use of herbicides and pesticides and trying to make our yards perfect. But there’s nothing wrong with having native plants,” Henson said.

“That’s what I’m hoping to impress on my students. I’m hoping that they see we need to take care of the earth. We need to allow native plants (to flourish) and we need to use natural organic pesticides rather than chemicals.”

On Sept. 20, local beekeeper Brian Mahern came to school and talked to two third-grade classes about his work with bees. He showed students the tools he uses, including a smoker, which produces cool smoke to calm the bees, and his bee suit, complete with a mesh hood to keep the bees from stinging his face and body.

Mahern said bees can help identify larger environmental problems.

“I think bees can tell us a lot about life,” Mahern said.

“They can give us a good sense of what’s going on currently on the planet and have a complexity that somewhat mirrors humans. Bees are sensitive to environmental conditions, so when the bees are affected, that gives us some kind of idea on how the environment might be affected.”

But Henson said bee populations are declining. Nearly 30 to 40 percent of honey bee colonies are dissipating annually, according to etymologists.

Yiannis Aloimonos, a professor of computer science at University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, and graduate student Chahat Deep Singh are working to develop technology to help bees pollinate.

Aloimonos and Singh connected with the MSDLT third-graders through John Somers, an associate professor at the University of Indianapolis. Somers said last year he and his team at UIndy worked with MSDLT and Indian Creek

THE IMPORTANCE OF STEM Last year, seven out of the 11 MSDLT schools were recognized as STEM Certified by the Indiana Dept. of Education because of their emphasis on teaching science, technology, engineering and math.

In addition, makerspaces have been added to all 11 elementary schools. A makerspace is an area with tools and other items that allows students to build and create things to and encourage STEM learning.

Teaching STEM at a young age is important, said John Somers, an associate professor at the University of Indianapolis.

“The other day, we were doing basic circuits in my intro to engineering class and my college students had never hooked up a circuit to make a light bulb light,” Sommers said. “So, as the world is becoming much more technologically advanced at a rapid pace, we really need our teachers to understand the importance of STEM, and particularly the importance of engineering.”

to help develop the district’s STEM program, so when Henson reached out to him about teaching her students about advancements in nature technology, Somers dove into research about drone use in pollination studies and that helped connect Henson’s class and Aloimonos and Singh.

Aloimonos, Singh, Sommers’ intro to engineering class and Henson and her third-graders all participated in a Zoom call Sept.28 to discuss the technology and artificial intelligence drones that might soon help the honeybee population.

Henson’s third-grade class will conclude their unit on bees by making their own informed decision on whether or not robots may be the future of pollination. “(Aloimonos) was saying that the young people are the hope for the world, and I couldn’t agree with him more,” Somers said. “With the young folks it seems that they have a passion to really address the serious challenges to our earth and the bee population.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

A fiery question

Have internet, will travel

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Eating out has changed much through the centuries. From medieval banqueting to millennial portability and pressed Peacock to meat-free bacon, we are continuing to redefine how we dine. In the days when most restaurants had tables and chairs that were not attached to the floor, we could expect an array of traditions that are disappearing into time.

The so-called “hostess” stand of the day was often decorated with all manner of treats. There would be the bowl of unwrapped butter mints, a dispenser filled with toothpicks and business cards (so that you’d be able to call for another reservation before the internet made a call nearly pointless) and a bowl filled with books of matches.

Containing 20 or so cardboard strips coated on one end with a dollop of phosphorous sulfide, they were given to guests who were expected to light a cigarette, or a few, at the end of the meal. Even if a voracious smoker, the patron would leave with 15 or so unused matchsticks and a handy reminder of the evening spent. The best places would offer wooden matches in tidy pocket-sized boxes. Folks collected, even prized, the tokens, with a 1927 Lindberg one selling for more than $6,000 in 2015.

One might imagine that the restaurateur sent the matches out into the world to strike thousands of little fires, reminders to return and dine again. They might have concentrated their money into a single bonfire, with all the matches piled high. But would a fire, even one visible from miles away, have the same impact?

Are we better to build and rely upon a single great act, or is our story told best through 1,000 little flames? When we interact with those around us, do we construct grand bonfires or pass out simple matchbooks?

Friends, I’ve just spent two solid hours frolicking on Expedia and Kayak, planning dream vacations to Machu Picchu, the Caribbean and Toronto. I know!

But over the summer, my youngest and I orchestrated an extreme family challenge: Whoever pitches the best summer 2023 trip come Christmas will get the greenlight to proceed with the actual booking, provided, of course, they’ve stayed within certain travel and budgetary guidelines. Oh, it’s on.

To date, I have nine legitimate possibilities, including the ones above. Most are within the U.S. because, unfortunately, airfare is ridiculous right now, especially out of Indy. I had to forgo such amazing locations as Israel, India, and the entirety of Southeast Asia simply because flights alone would surpass the designated cost per person. Alaskan and Mediterranean cruises are no-goes for the same reason, as is beautiful and surprisingly affordable once-you-getthere Kyrgyzstan. Europe is predictable and easy and, therefore, not worthy of my consideration. Yeah, I said it.

Which leaves the Western Hemisphere, and specifically American cities, as the frontrunners in terms of pure bang-for-your-buck. Charleston, W.V., Niagara Falls and Bar Harbor, Maine, could prove entertaining, though certainly not the glamourous gallivanting I’d envisioned back in July. If I time it right, I can get us on a short cruise to Cozumel, and I did find a Belize all-inclusive that might work. The Peru adventure involves four days of trekking at altitude, which I’m not even sure I want to do.

Eventually, I’ll have to decide on which vacay to pitch, but frankly, it’s irrelevant. The countless hours spent daydreaming and internet surfing has already been a win!

Peace out.

A difficult cellmate Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Hi! This is Dick Wolfsie’s newest cellphone. The old phone talked to you many years ago, but since I have HUMOR taken over the job, I wanted to update everyone on how things are going.

He has misplaced me 43 times in the past 18 months. Of course, I was never really lost. I knew exactly where I was (I have GPS).

This past week has been something.

On Sunday, I was at a movie with Dick and his lovely wife. First, I was in his back pocket, then he placed me in the little cupholder next to his seat. Then he walked out of the movie without me, but he came back into the empty theater and called me from Mary Ellen’s phone. Success! By the way, I loved the movie.

Before we headed home, he tossed me into the car, and I fell between the seats.

He started looking for me while driving. This is more dangerous than texting. He found me — and also his lost AARP card and a $100 Blockbuster gift card.

Monday morning, after he showered, he put me in the pocket of his bathrobe, since he was waiting for a call. I knew where I was going to spend the entire night. In the bathroom.

Tuesday morning, he started looking for me. He checked every dresser drawer, under the bed, and even the freezer (where he once left me for three days). He called me from his landline but my battery was dead

from having spent the night in the bathroom. I tried to muster every ounce of energy. I even tried to vibrate a little. No luck.

Wednesday, Dick finally found me in his robe pocket when he showered again, but later he threw me in his briefcase on the way to a speech he was giving. I landed in a divider compartment.

I was well hidden for days and he couldn’t find me.

By Saturday, he was desperate. Dick headed to the cellphone store to buy a replacement. His contract was almost expired, so they made him a deal on a sexy new model. It looked like the end of – DICK WOLFSIE me. I was going to be cellular non grata.

When Dick got back to the car, he had a flash of insight. He grabbed the briefcase, turned it upside down and shook it. I tumbled onto the driver’s seat. I was OK, but I had no charge. I was spent.

Sunday, we headed back to the phone store to return the new phone. He had found me and wanted me back. I was touched. My circuits welled up.

Last night, Dick stuck me in his sweatpants pocket while he was exercising in the basement. I’m now in the bottom of the laundry basket. Don’t expect to reach Dick anytime soon. He only does the laundry once a week.

Before we headed home, he tossed me into the car, and I fell between the seats. He started looking for me while driving. This is more dangerous than texting.

IU Health staffers give back

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Beth Rayfield was glad to be part of the IU Health North surgical services team volunteering at Coxhall VOLUNTEERISM Gardens in Carmel.

“This park has a special meaning to me because this is where my friends and I come and walk,” Rayfield said. “Getting to be part of something we get to enjoy makes it mean that much more.”

Rayfield, director of sterile processing and central supply for IU Health North, was part of an IU Health North members team that planted flowers and put down mulch at a street entrance of Coxhall Gardens.

The 14th annual Day of Service is an opportunity for team member volunteers to take the IU Health mission beyond the hospital walls.

Volunteers worked on several community projects from Sept. 5 to Sept. 30.

Caitlin Vendely, a community outreach consultant for IU Health North in Carmel and IU Health Saxony in Fishers, helped the surgical services team with the Coxhall project.

Mathis celebrates long career with ‘Voice of Romance Tour’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Johnny Mathis has one main reason he is out on tour in his 66th year as a recording artist.

CONCERT “It’s my living. I have to eat,” he said, jokingly. “I do it because I love it.”

Mathis, 87, will bring his “Voice of Romance Tour” to the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel at 8 p.m. Oct. 15.

“Every time I step on the stage, I think of the one person who was so meaningful to my career, (and) that was my dad,” Mathis said. “He was the first person I heard sing.”

Mathis’ father never sang in public.

“He was too busy having children. There were seven of us,” Mathis said. “We had no money. All we had was each other. Fortunately, we grew up in San Francisco and all you had to do was embrace the public.

Before I knew it, I was making records.”

Mathis grew up competing in track and field as a high jumper and a hurdler.

“The only claim to fame is that I broke the great Bill Russell’s high jump record (6 feet, 5 1/2 inches in 1955) in college (University of San Francisco),” Mathis said.

“The next thing I knew, I was on a plane to New York signing a contract with Columbia Records.”

Mathis was offered the contract the same week he was supposed to leave for the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. He chose music, signing a five-year deal with Columbia in 1955. He remained friends with NBA legend Russell, who died at 88 in July.

Mathis’ first album was jazz.

“Then I met (legendary producer) Mitch Miller, who liked my voice but didn’t like what I was singing because it was too jazzy,” Mathis said.

Soon, Mathis said he was recording songs like “Chances Are,” “It’s Not For Me to Say” and “Misty.”

After Mathis had some success as a singer, he got to meet the late Nat King

Cole.

“I got to tell him I grew up listening to his singing and how he influenced me in so many ways,” Mathis said.

In 2021, technology allowed Mathis to sing a duet with Cole on a Christmas album.

Mathis said at one point in his career he ran out of ideas as far as what to sing.

“I lived in Europe for a while. I sang in French, German, Italian, Spanish, but that didn’t go over so well here (in the U.S.),” Mathis said. “Mostly, I listened to what I thought the record company thought would sell as my singing was concerned. That was my guide. I got an opportunity to work with some of the greatest musicians in the world and some of the greatest singers, too.”

In 2017, he released “Johnny Mathis Sings The Great New American Songbook.”

Mathis said he started trying to sing songs that the audience was familiar with during a concert.

“Then later on, I realized what they really wanted was to hear songs that I wanted to sing,” he said. “So that is how I evolved as far as what I sing and when I sing it. I’m a big fan of musicians, and over the years (I’ve performed) with some of the greatest musicians in the world.

In fact, (composer/pianist) Henry Mancini and I toured the world together for many years. That’s where I get most of my enthusiasm, working with other musicians.”

When he was younger, Mathis said he developed a workout regimen that he has maintained through the years.

“That has been a good foundation for my singing,” he said.

Not your mom’s canned seafood Commentary by Mark LaFay Canned seafood. When you hear that, what comes to mind? If you are like me, you think about canned CHARCUTERIE tuna, maybe anchovy flats in soybean oil or smoked oysters. Did you know there is a world of canned seafood that is more than fodder for mom’s tuna salad?

Portugal and the Mediterranean coast of Spain are home to some of the world’s most refined tinned seafood called conservas. Let’s be honest, “conservas” sounds better than canned seafood, so we will go with that.

The next time you entertain with some charcuterie, consider a couple nice conservas to bring some variety to your spread.

One fantastic producer of conservas is Jose Gourmet. Jose Gourmet works with Portuguese fishermen who source seafood sustainably and process and pack the finished product.

JG Spiced Octopus in Olive Oil would be a great addition to your charcuterie board.

peppers, a popular pepper from South Africa. Serve on crostini, or flatbread crackers with spicy mustard or curried mustard. Add in pickled shallot or cornichon for some additional acidity.

JG Spiced Calamari in Ragout Sauce is another great option. These bits are much larger and sliced so you can get smaller bites. The squid is tender and delicate, the flavor is phenomenal! It’s combined with tomato pulp stewed and spiced with pepper, clove onion and red wine. The bits go great on toast with soft spreadable cheese like Boursin, or a Tulip Tree Fromage Frais. You could even pair with thin slices of Grana Padano or aged parmesan.

Surprise your guests, or yourself. Try these two items with your next charcuterie spread. You will find that you are standing at the top of the rabbit hole. The question is, will you find how deep it goes?

Blueprint for Improvement: Bathroom exudes modern allure Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1968 in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Indianapolis, the owners of this home were ready to add a little style and luxury to their primary bathroom, while staying true to their home’s modern architecture.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • A wet room was created by bringing the stall shower and tub into a single waterproofed enclosure — maximizing comfort and simplifying cleanup.

• Updated cabinetry, luminous tile and cleanlined, modern fixtures ensure the aesthetic blends seamlessly with the home’s modern architecture.

• Cambria surfaces on the vanity countertops and in the wet rooms provide the look of natural stone without the maintenance.

• Sleek custom poplar cabinets provide ample storage space with a dose of modern style.

Visiting the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum Commentary by Don Knebel Today, on the way back from Cape Cod, we visit the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.

TRAVEL Just before his assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, President Kennedy began considering the possible location for a future presidential library. He and his family selected a spot in Cambridge, Mass., near where he had lived during his time at Harvard, from which he graduated cum laude in 1940. A year after his death, the family announced that I. M. Pei, then a relatively unknown architect, had been selected to design the library facility. In 1975, after a series of delays and objections from Cambridge residents, the Kennedy family decided to build the library on the site of a former garbage dump in Boston’s Dorchester area, with a view of downtown across Dorchester Bay. The building, designed by Pei, was completed at a cost of about $21 million, and the facility was dedicated by President Jimmy Carter and members of the Kennedy family on Oct. 20, 1979.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, like other presidential libraries, seeks to take people back to the time of the president. It contains a display of appliances from the early 1960s and 1960 campaign memorabilia, including a banner welcoming Kennedy to Indianapolis. Visitors can listen to a once-secret recording of Kennedy and his advisors seeking a peaceful resolution to what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Television monitors highlight some of Kennedy’s most important speeches, including the one on Sept. 12, 1962, at Rice University, explaining his goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade. What most impressed me was the museum’s ability to

remember the spirit of optimism and hope that Kennedy and his young family created for the nation, a spirit that is sadly now missing.
