A Fishers woman was arrested by a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputy for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Diane Morris-Mack, 44, Fishers, was found by the deputy in a gray Honda Pilot just before 1:30 a.m. Oct. 19 at Cumberland Road and 96th Street.

According to a press release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, the deputy was patrolling 96th Street and stopped to check on the Honda. The female occupant, Mack, appeared to be asleep in the driver’s seat with a seatbelt on and had what appeared to be vomit on her clothes.

Concerned for her welfare, the deputy Mack made contact and noticed an alcoholic odor coming from her. A field sobriety test showed a breath alcohol level of .155.

Mack was arrested with a charge of operating while intoxicated with a BAC greater than .15. She was released from the Hamilton County Jail the afternoon of Oct. 19 with a court appearance for Nov. 1.

During the investigation, a Lawrence Police Dept. badge and other items were found inside the vehicle.

LPD officers have retrieved those items.

Fishers’ harris returns for IU

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com When Indiana University football coach Tom Allen wants an example of perseverance, he can turn to achievement J-Shun Harris II. Harris tore his ACL in his right knee during summer workouts in 2015, causing him to miss the season.

Then during 2016 preseason camp, the 2014 Fishers High School graduate tore the ACL in his left knee, again missing the season.

“He’s never hung his head,” Allen said.

“I was there when he had the second ACL. The very next day he was smiling.”

Finally back, good things are happening for the 5-foot-8 speedy wide receiver as a special teams performer. Harris was twice named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week, returning punts for touchdowns against Virginia (44 yards) and Georgia Southern (70) in September.

“I’m so thankful that I had a great support staff in my coaches, my teammates, my family and friends,” Harris said. “They helped will me back and boosted my confidence in myself that I didn’t have at the time. Personally, I’ve experienced some good plays on the field. I feel like I’m back

Harris had played as a true freshman with the Hoosiers, catching 18 passes and earning the team’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year honors. Now after two lost seasons, he has regained his form.

Harris said when he got out of the knee brace, he wasn’t tentative or concerned about being injured.

“Now I want to become better than I was before,” Harris said. “I want to continue to grow mentally and physically.”

For his perseverance, Harris has earned a nomination for the 2017 Capital One Orange Bowl-Football Writers Association of America’s Courage Award.

Donnelly talks keys to bipartisanship Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Sen. Joe Donnelly has been ranked as one of the most bipartisan politics senators in Congress by the Lugar Center. The Indiana Democrat shared how he successfully works across the aisle and what he sees as top issues for Hoosiers in an exclusive interview with Current.

You’re known for working with Republicans, but Donnelly many legislators seem less willing to cooperate with the other party.

How do you deal with that?

There’s a lot more wisdom in Hamilton County than in Washington, D.C. In Hamilton County, when people get together to solve problems, they don’t always agree on everything, but they figure out a path forward (knowing) that 70 percent of something is better than 100 percent of nothing.

How do you decide what issues are important for Hoosiers?

When I look at an issue, I look at it in a way that’s not Democrat or Republican, but does it make our nation stronger? Does it make our families stronger? That’s how I try to decide. I look at a mom and dad in Carmel or Avon or Terre Haute or Richmond and say, 'What makes sense for these families?'

What are the top issues facing Hoosiers right now?

No. 1 is that everybody has a chance to get a really good job with a really good paycheck, because what that does is, that stabilizes the family.

Second is, we have a real challenge – not only in our state but in our country – with opioids and with heroin, and I’m working nonstop to try to end this. The damage these drugs cause can destroy families.

Is the opioid epidemic a problem throughout the state?

It is a problem everywhere. The most important thing mom and dad can do is talk to their kids about it, because we’re not in the basement the entire time that party is going on. Our children need to understand that the best friend they have is the friend

H e r i t a g e

who’s willing to look them in the eye and say, ‘We’re leaving right now, because they’re bringing these opioids out.’ This scourge knows no economic boundary and knows no neighborhood boundary.

What are your thoughts on simplifying the tax code?

I think that would be great, and I think it’s very possible. We just need to make sure in simplifying the tax code we don’t wind up increasing the deficit at all, because it’s not fair to our families and it’s not fair to our children to increase the debt burden and to make it so that the next generation has to pay for today’s deficits.

How is it different working in politics locally than nationally?

It doesn’t change really at all. People are people, and what you want to try to do is find folks who want to get things done, who want to listen to common sense.

The recent situation in Charlottesville has led to many discussions about whether Confederate statues and symbols have a place in our culture. What do you think?

Luis Oliva, Theater at the Fort present first in-house production

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Commensurate with the 100th anniversary of the beginning of Ernest Hemingway’s writing career in 1917 with the Kansas City Star newspaper, Arts for cover story Lawrence and the Lawrence Players will present its production of “The Old Man and the Sea,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning Hemingway novel, in November with director Luis Oliva at the helm.

Oliva, who adapted the novel for the stage and also is playing the character of the old man, Santiago, said this is the first time in history the story has been a theatrical production.

“Nobody has done this in theater,” Oliva said. “There’s a movie and a cartoon for kids, but nobody has done it on stage because there’s not too much dialogue. So this is the first time in the world.”

“The Old Man and the Sea” p was written in 1951, and (Hemingway) was living in Cuba at the time,” said Judy Byron, executive director of Arts for Lawrence. “So all of this is set in the Caribbean, and the old man is kind of feeling like a has-been. He has a relationship with a little boy (Manolin) whose dad doesn’t want him spending time with a tired old man, and he keeps telling, as a fisherman, stories of these big fish.”

Although most of the acting in the production is the reliving of a memory for the old man, the character does go out to sea.

“He catches the big swordfish, and then the sharks come,” said Byron, who read the book in ninth grade for school. “This production is the first that is actually ours.

It’s all set to live chamber music that was written specifically for this show by a Butler (University) composition student, Sean Szolek-Van Valkenburgh.”

Most of the set decoration is made from materials that might be found in a recycling bin, such as carpet padding, egg cartons, plastic sheeting, plastic Easter eggs, rubber foam and more – all creating coral reef, water, sharks, jel-

meet the director Originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Luis Oliva has spent his life and career performing as a mime and in the theater. For 47 years, Oliva performed as a mime in Puerto Rico and Paris before moving to Lawrence. In Paris, he worked 10 years with famed mime Marcel Marceau and was in the circus for three years.

In Lawrence, Oliva is the drama teacher at Forest Glen lyfish and fish puppets.

Oliva said he has been working on props since June but that the idea for the stage production has been in his mind for at least two years.

“I hadn’t been in the United States very long. This is my third year,” Oliva said. “Ernest Hemingway was an adventurer, so I decided to take this adventure. What I know to do is theater, so I said to myself, ‘This is the opportunity to do one crazy thing. Why not?’ So I came to (Byron).”

“The only dialogue is from the character of the boy, but the rest is thoughts,” Oliva said.

Manolin is played by sixth-grader Kye Benford, a student of Oliva’s at Forest Glen Elementary, where Oliva teaches

Elementary, where he teaches circus, miming and acting to students in kindergarten through sixth grade, approximately 800 students in total. He also works with the Indianapolis Arts Council to put on workshops.

Oliva has lived in Lawrence for three years with his wife, Ita Garcia, the art teacher at Forest Glen Elemntary.

drama.

Opening night of “The Old Man and the Sea” is Nov. 17, which also is the date for Arts for Lawrence’s annual gala.

“We’re going to have a Carribbean-inspired dinner at The Sterrett Center next door with a red-carpet entrance into the theater for opening night,” Byron said.

The production will continue for four additional performances after opening night – 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18, 24 and 25 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 19. General admission tickets are $15.

Each year, Arts for Lawrence programming is partially supported by a grant from the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

This year, the $5,000 grant funded the production of “The Old Man and the Sea.”

A dry run

o b s e r v a tion Perpetual twilight

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker We found ourselves careening down the crowded streets of America’s largest city reviewing the events of the day – the nature of the incoming flight, the ease of traversing the Holland Tunnel, and, in course, our acquaintance with a new car service. Recommended for transport by a close friend and Manhattanite, we were impressed by the comportment and wayfinding of our driver. Snarled traffic would lead to a redirect, then another, until a more attractive path emerged.

Although the crystal-blue sky was glorious as the October sun cast its reflected light across the scores of gleaming edifices, we found ourselves headlong in a narrow canyon of oppressive brick structures.

Built before the ubiquitous use of reinforced steel, these vintage buildings, while charming in many ways, hosted small windows open only to facing windows directly across the constricted street. Despite the ambient light spilling into the scene, the effect could best be described as dusk. The same might be said as afternoon turned to night, street lights illuminate ensuring that folks rooted here live lives wrapped in perpetual twilight.

If we dedicate ourselves only working to contain the extremes, what do we surrender? Are we humans prone to avoid change at the very same time that we benefit from it? Some moments lift us while others urge us to retreat. Does our hiding from dark and light make its existence any less real?

Life brings both expected and unexpected seasons. But what is the merit in a command of adaptability? If we live in a place that is neither fully day nor fully night, can we ever hope to recognize the difference?

Panem et Circenses in Fishers Commentary by Amna Tokmo

No doubt, Fishers is a flourishing community that has seen amazing growth, expansion and improveprofile ments in the last couple of years.

The community is diversifying, attracting multi-national, multi-religious families in search of a safe environment, great schools and affordable housing.

There are churches of all sorts sitting on, what seems, every corner of the city.

We could be perceived as either serious worshipers, sinners or saints. Our spiritual needs must be greatly satiated and taken care of.

Fishers also is becoming a magnet for business, both big and small, bringing shopping and entertainment to its residents and creating new economic engines for the city that can be used for further development. Restaurants are popping up everywhere and we are hoping it will get more diversified.

Entertainment, “in the sense of distraction from everyday life,” is not lacking in this city, with a decent number of establishments, such as local bars, Top Golf and Escape Room. And there is always good, old Hamilton 16 IMAX movie theater in neighboring Noblesville.

It is all bread and games, or panem et circenses, as old Romans would say, from the looks of it. While it is not implied here

that Fishers city government’s strategy is to provide sustenance and entertainment to appease public discontent the way ancient Romans did, there is this feeling that something is missing – stimulus for our minds. There are no art galleries or bookstores that host book readings, or no theater to stage great performance or classical music concerts or community centers or art centers.

There is no cultural inclusivity for multicultural, multi-religious Fishers residents.

There are no good alternatives for basic entertainment.

City of Fishers residents should be able to progress and be patrons and cultivators of arts and culture. We need a direction, and work needs to be done on cultural planning and tap into community of local artists and cultural resources that will help us get there. We would like to think, as residents, that we will be able to wholeheartedly support this and be part of it.

I’m cured of my urinating-while-exercising problem! Thanks to my OB/GYN, I can now run without stopping at humor construction port-a-lets every 2 miles. And luckily for you, the appointment was the most entertaining, embarrassing hour of my adult life.

FYI, any visit to the Lady Parts Doctor requires great preparation. There’s a particularly high level of grooming that occurs, from perfectly-pedicured toes to a meticulously-made-up face. And of course, everything in between must be en pointe.

For whatever reason, I completely neglected the aforementioned routine and showed up a hot mess. When the nurse told me to undress from the waist down, I was mortified. Did I mention I have a male physician?

Who’s my age?

I commenced with the “He’s seen it all” mantra, but broke into a cold sweat when I caught a whiff of my Sperry’s-withoutsocks feet. I forgot all of this the moment Doc walked in, though, because I then had to explain in excruciating detail my peejogging adventures. We discussed possible solutions and finally agreed to try a nonsurgical device. Doc then opened a tacklebox full of what appeared to be medieval torture objects, selected one, and told me to “give it a whirl.” In privacy, thank God. So I jumped, danced, moved and grooved to see if I could wet myself. Miracle of miracles, the floor remained dry!

Step 2 proved more challenging. Try as I might, I just couldn’t remove the thing. So Doc returned, hilariously mimed the process, and left me again. This time, with a few Cirque du Soleil twists and a Hail Mary, I did it.

Peace out.

Standing up for lunch Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Now that Mary Ellen has retired, and I’m significantly cutting back on work, we’ll end up being home together humor around noon. Mary Ellen and I have never shared a real lunchtime. For all of our marriage, we weren’t ever both home during the workweek, and on weekends I usually went to Costco and snarfed up free food samples. I have been home recovering from knee surgery, so Mary Ellen suggested we start having a noon meal together. The blood drained out of my head. I started to perspire. A twitch developed in my right eye. I had to be careful or she was going to know that I was not happy with the suggestion.

How do you tell someone after 37 years that you really don’t want to have lunch together? When you are used to eating alone, you develop a few habits that will be hard to break. My wife, who shares a significant DNA strain with Miss Manners, would never understand. Maybe you will.

Mary Ellen will want to have lunch at noon. When I worked at home alone, I would sit down for lunch sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Wait, that is

a total lie. I have never actually sat down for lunch at home in my adult life. I slapped a sandwich together while standing at the fridge, then ate it on the way upstairs to turn on a cable news show.

I just knew that Mary Ellen was going to want to actually sit for the meal. And we’d have to use utensils, like forks and spoons. And have conversations. I even had nightmares about it. I love my wife, and I love to talk to her. But not in the daylight.

Not during the week. Conversations are OK at dinner; so are napkins, utensils and chairs. But not at lunch. Not starting after 37 years.

The other day, Mary Ellen prepared a meal at noon. When I walked in the kitchen, she said, “I can’t believe what you are wearing. Sweats and a dirty T-shirt? You can’t sit down for lunch looking like that.�

Music to my ears. So I stood up, just like the good old days.

Premium Care. Luxurious Comfort.

Hamilton Town Dentistry offers extended hours

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com A local dentist office between two Hamilton County communities now open is looking to provide what many offices don’t, evening hours.

Dr. Greg Hopkinson and Dr. Matt Sullivan purchased Hamilton Town Dentistry at 14139 Town Center Blvd., Suite 200, earlier this year from the office’s former owner, Dr. David Shock, who opened the practice in 2011 at the same location.

“We bought the practice March 31, and we started seeing patients April 10,” Hopkinson said.

Together, they serve approximately 1,500 patients. “(Shock) was only open three days a week, and we expanded it five days a week with longer hours,” Hopkinson said.

“That’s why we did this together, too, to be able to offer longer hours,” Sullivan added.

Hopkinson and Sullivan are the only two dentists in the practice. Each also works at practices separate from Hamilton Town Dentistry.

“We had been talking about buying a practice together to kind of do what we’re doing with the extended hours,” Hopkinson said.

“It was a good base of patients that were already here, good offices, nice technology, good location,” Sullivan said.

“So we felt like it was a good spot to take it and grow.”

The office is accepting new patients, and specializes in family dentistry, cosmetic and oral surgery, root canals, Invisalign and more. Hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday.

“Kind of what we’re trying to do as a practice would be to provide that hightouch, family atmosphere and relationship-based dentistry that you’d be used to in a small town,” Sullivan said. “By having both of us here together and with longer hours, that’s what people want, so they don’t have to call off work to come in.”

It might not be worth the extra premiums given the chance of totaling your car is less than 1 percent in a year.

Talking about knees and hips Commentary by Dr. Khalid Azzam No one wants to see his or her parent in pain, and it can be difficult to know how to help. Here are some tips for talking with an aging parent about hip and aging knee replacements.

What are signs I should talk with my aging parent(s) about a hip or knee replacement?

If your parent is visibly in pain or frustrated that simple daily tasks have now become painful and uncomfortable, then it’s time to broach the topic. Hip and knee arthritis is a very common reason for pain in individuals ages 60 and older. If your parent has everyday pain in the groin, front of the thigh or in the knee, they should make a consultation.

A lot of patients think too long before deciding on a hip or knee replacement. Pain from hip or knee arthritis, after reaching a certain stage, is unlikely to go away. If your parent is considering joint replacement, encourage him or her to make an appointment to learn more.

How do you suggest approaching that conversation?

Make sure your parents know you’re coming from a genuine, caring place. Before

having the conversation, educate yourself so you can provide helpful information.

What’s the process like for a hip or knee replacement patient?

In the first visit, patients will talk with their orthopedic surgeon about the pain and how it has affected their daily life, and they’ll get X-rays. A physical examination of the joint will be performed, and the surgeon will review the X-ray photos with the patient. If the patient is a good candidate for hip or knee replacement, he or she will pick a date for surgery. As the surgery date approaches, the patient will visit his or her orthopedic surgeon to discuss the procedure.

Patients also meet with a dedicated internist at this time to make sure they’re “medically cleared” for surgery and anesthesia. After surgery, patients have a series of follow-up appointments with their orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Khalid Azzam is an orthopedic surgeon and hip and knee arthritis specialist at IU Health.

Hip and knee pain seminar — A free seminar on arthritis and hip and knee replacement procedures will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 7 at Fishers Hilton Garden Inn, 9785 North by Northeast Blvd. Dr. Anthony Feher will explain the latest procedures in joint replacement and arthritis treatments.

Carmel ex-pastor shares love of Reformation stamps

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

As this fall marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Paul Swartz has been combining his passions for stamp collecting, the Lutheran faith and music.

The 74-year-old Carmel resident has been collecting U.S. stamps since he was 7 years old.

“I go back to the 1800s for U.S. stamps,” said Swartz, a former pastor of Carmel’s King of Glory Lutheran Church. “I view every stamp as a window to the world. It’s lifting up either a person, a building or a circumstance.”

Swartz, who serves as a volunteer usher at The Palladium along with his wife, Betty, had mentioned to Indiana Wind Symphony Director Charlie Conrad a couple of years ago the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the great music around that time.

“I knew his love for putting together thematic concerts,” Swartz said.

They began planning together, and Swartz will give a historical narration for the symphony’s “Echoes Over Five Centuries: The Reformation” at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at The Palladium in Carmel.

“I’ve always been a fan of church music and classical music,” Swartz said.

Conrad said Swartz brings a great deal of knowledge about the Reformation.

“In addition to the religious aspect, it had quite an effect on music as well,” Conrad said. “Paul will be doing the narration in between numbers. We’ll play some music that historically was significant, and some based on some of the chorales and tunes that came from the time. We’re doing a piece from Elisabeth Cruciger, the first female hymn writer of the Reformation, and she was also married to Martin Luther’s son. Martin Luther wrote several (hymns) himself. ‘A Mighty Fortress is Our God’ is the most famous one.”

Swartz, who will have a display of his Reformation and Luther stamps in The Palladium lobby, is writing a book called “A Life Stamped, Cancelled and Delivered!”

“I thought if I don’t get the book out until next year I can include all the stamps of Luther that are issued this year,” said Swartz, who has written several journal articles about Luther.

Swartz was pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church for 13 years before retiring in 2012. He’s now serving at First Trinity, a diverse Lutheran congregation on the east side

of Indianapolis.

“They can’t afford a pastor, so I’m helping them out,” Swartz said.

Swartz’s collection of Martin Luther stamps began in 1983 when the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s birth on Nov. 10, 1483. The stamp triggered a worldwide search by Swartz to discover what other Reformation stamps were produced. He has several albums full of stamps relating to Martin Luther or this year’s Reformation anniversary.

Luther published his Ninety-five theses, or complaints against the Catholic Church, and launched the Protestant Reformation on Oct. 31, 1517. Many stamps from various nations are being reeled this year.

“Luther was the champion of individual rights and the freedom of the conscience,” Swartz said. “You won’t find anyone in the history of mankind who championed that more than Martin Luther.”

Choir voices are needed for the concert. For more information or to volunteer, contact pswartz@indy.rr.com.

Songbook Foundation launches Meredith Willson website editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel-based Great American Songbook Foundation recently launched a website showcasing the archives of composer and playwright Meredith Willson, who wrote Broadway and cinema hits “The Music Man” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.”

The Meredith Willson Digital Collection makes a trove of historic materials accessible worldwide to researchers, musicians and fans of Willson, who also penned such popular songs as “You and I” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.”

The collection is a collaboration between the Songbook Foundation and HistoryIT, a digital history company that helps organizations transform their archives into engaging online collections. HistoryIT team members, while working with the foundation staff, identified a representative sample of compositions, scrapbooks, correspondence and photographs from Willson’s career, then digitized and tagged the materials for display on a search-optimized website.

Tailgating in inclement weather Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley With each tropical storm there seems to have been numerous games cancelled on the coasts and even further north into the plains and Midwest, where rains have caused trouble for serious picnickers that have planned a get-together with great friends and tasty food, done up right!

What’s a tailgater to do?

To endure inclement weather there are canopies (tents) that can be set up to provide overhead cover. To stop the wind from sailing your tent there are weights that fit over the canopy legs that can help. Don’t be afraid to use your vehicle to help anchor things with bungie cords and tape.

Here’s a great inclement weather drink to warm your innards.

Hot Buttered Rum Ingredients: 8 oz. of dark rum, 23 oz. apple cider, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 clove, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice Preparation: Heat the mixture about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil - just

get it to a simmer and then pour into a thermos to take to the game. Be sure to serve in white mugs or cups so that nobody ingests a surprise cinnamon stick or clove. Have pats of butter available if someone wants an extra as a topping. And everything should be ready to enjoy!

This recipe is enough for six servings.

Bullying in our schools has become a national epidemic and, unfortunately, this is probably the most common phone call I get from parents. Usually it goes something like this: “My child is being bullied to the point that he’s afraid to go to school. The school has not done anything to stop it. What can I do?”

Naturally, many parents who call want me to write a letter to their school corporation or even file a lawsuit against it. Unfortunately, I often have to tell them that there’s not much they can do from a legal standpoint unless they have evidence that (a) the school violated a legal duty, and (b) their child has been harmed—physically or psychologically—as a result. If your child is simply afraid to go to school because of the bullying but hasn’t been emotionally traumatized or physically injured, it will be difficult to bring a legal claim against the school district because the law requires you to prove damages in order to have a case. Being nervous, scared or uncomfortable at school may not be enough to support a legal claim. As the saying goes, “They don’t make Band-Aids for hurt feelings.”

Schools have a duty to protect your child from bullying, but often they look the other way or downplay it, telling parents “Kids will be kids.”

They don’t seem to take bullying seriously and rarely punish the perpetrators severely. I have represented several children who have been bullied, assaulted or sexually harassed at school—one to the point of committing suicide. In almost every case, the school could have done more to prevent the bullying from happening.

Indiana does have an anti-bullying law, but it’s not very strong. It only requires schools to have an anti-bullying policy and to report bullying

incidents to a database. But schools routinely under-report incidents of bullying and many parents mistakenly assume that they can sue a school if it does not follow this law, which says you can’t sue the school based only on its failure to follow the statute. In fact, if the school doesn’t comply with the statute, its non-compliance is not even admissible in court.

If your child has been harmed, it may still be possible to hold the school responsible in a lawsuit. I’ve used different legal theories against schools where students have been bullied. Schools have a duty to supervise students, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to protect students from reasonably foreseeable criminal acts—which bullying incidents often are. Students with special needs may have additional remedies available.

My advice to parents whose children are being bullied is to document every incident (who, what, when, where). You can tell school staff what’s happening in person or over the phone, but it’s a good idea to put it in an email to your child’s principal, teacher and guidance counselor.

Make a paper trail. Doing so makes it harder for the school to claim that it was unaware of the bullying. If your child is emotionally or physically harmed, you’ll want to show that the school knew or should have known that he was at risk of being injured. Schools like to defend these cases by arguing that the harm was not “reasonably foreseeable,” so telling school employees that your child is being bullied is important. Do not assume that the school will document the bullying properly—do it for them. When kids are hurt at school and parents bring a claim, evidence has a way of mysteriously disappearing. By sending the school staff emails, you will have proof that they knew your child was being bullied.

If your child has been bullied at school and suffered physical or emotional harm as a result, feel free to call me at 317/569-2200 or email me at tblessing@hzlegal.com for a free consultation.

Arch of Constantine in Rome. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Arch of Constantine Commentary by Don Knebel The Arch of Constantine, near the Coliseum in Rome, memorializes an event that changed the direction of Western history.

On Oct. 28, 312 A.D., Roman travel Emperor Constantine I defeated rival Emperor Maxentius in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, thereby gaining unquestioned control of the Western Roman Empire. Constantine credited his victory to a vision in which the Christian God told him to put the superimposed Greek letters Chi and Rho, symbolizing the Christ, on his soldiers’ shields. In 313 A.D., Constantine, joined by the Eastern Emperor, issued the Edict of Milan, ending the persecution of Christians and making Christianity legal throughout the Roman Empire.

In 315 A.D., the 10th year of Constantine’s reign, the Roman Senate erected a massive arch honoring his victory at the Milvian Bridge. The three-portal arch, more than 82 feet wide and 65 feet high, straddled the Triumphal Way, the route by which the victorious Constantine had entered Rome, displaying the head of Maxentius. Identical inscriptions on either side near the top of

the arch attributed Constantine’s victory to the inspiration of a singular “divine,” suggesting that Constantine wanted to affirm his belief in one God while not offending Romans still believing in mulitple gods.

Curiously, the arch uses statues and reliefs from monuments honoring earlier rulers.

Even the carvings depicting Constantine, some showing a halo around his head, were re-worked from earlier carvings.

Some speculate this reclamation was necessary because fourth century Romans had lost the skill to create great works of art.

Others believe the re-use communicated the idea that Constantine was the epitome of earlier leaders.

The Arch of Constantine is the last and largest Roman arch, inspiring, among others, the Arc d ’Triumph in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The halo around the head of Constantine inspired later depictions of Jesus.

Over the past several decades investors have seen “once-in-ageneration” market events taking place every few years. These erratic market movements are the result of a fundamental change that has occurred in the nature of the stock market. The catalyst for the change?

Improving technology over the past two decades has dramatically improved the speed and efficiency with which institutional investors (hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, etc.) are able to move vast sums of money in and out of securities. Computers now trade with one another instantly and anonymously, allowing even the largest investors to sell positions rapidly. The stock market’s increased long-run volatility is the unintended consequences of this change.

We believe that the rise of computer-driven trading has caused the stock market to become increasingly susceptible to a “feedback-loop crash”, where automated selling generates more automated selling and sends indexes plunging. Barron’s magazine is also ringing the alarm bells. It warned in its cover story on Oct. 16th, that assets being run by computer driven “quantitative strategies” have nearly doubled since 2007 and now total nearly 1 trillion dollars. When asset prices do start to fall, quantitative portfolios will automatically sell positions helping their users avoid big losses. “Buyand-Hold” investors, we fear, will fare much worse. We believe that, similar to what happened in 2008, Main Street will again bear the brunt of the

losses in the market.

Today we are in the midst of an upswing in the market and all is calm.

You could be forgiven for thinking the market is the same level playing field it once was. Look at what is different today: remarkably high valuations.

We believe the unusually high equity prices that we see are a function of institutional investors buying into an uptrend without regard for fundamentals. When the current uptrend reverses and the same investors seek to exit their positions, the resulting price drops could rival or exceed the losses experienced in 2008.

At ETF Momentum Investing, LLC we believe the best way to protect yourself from a stock market that is controlled by computers is to have a risk management system in place that automatically reduces risk as prices drop - and to have it in place before the next major selloff.

We developed our approach working with real clients, before, during and after the global financial crisis. Our investment process seeks to make investing safer and more profitable by mathematically optimizing portfolio exposure to diverse asset classes ranging from U.S. equities to cryptocurrencies. We believe investors of all sizes can reduce risk and increase returns by following trends in global assets.
