Legislators recap bills ahead of short session

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A group of central Indiana senators lawmakers met at Conner Prairie in Fishers Jan. 10 to GENERAL discuss bills they ASSEMBLY are proposing for the General Assembly’s 2020 legislative session. What follows is list of what each state senator and represetitive told the audience about some of the bills.

Republican Sen. John Ruckelshaus, 30th District, said he proposed a bill to fund a study to find the state’s average teacher pay compared to neighboring states and the enitre U.S. “Where do we rank among all of those?” Ruckelshaus said. “What is the number we need to aspire to?”

Democrat Sen. J.D. Ford, 29th District, co-sponsored a teacher-licensing bill with Ruckelshaus that repeals a provision that demands teachers accumulate professional growth experience points through externships to renew their license.

Republican Sen. Victoria Spartz, 20th District, said she has proposed legislation to champion deregulation for schools and businesses.

“I’ll tell you, it’s much easier to regulate than deregulate,” Spartz said.

“But I think it’s important.”

Republican Sen. Jim Buck, 21st District, wants to require political parties to nominate candidates for the U.S. Senate in a state convention instead of a primary election with a bill he sponsored. He said running for office has become too expensive, often leading to gubernatorial races that require candidates to spend millions of dollars out-of-pocket.

“I’m just concerned that we’re getting to the point where ordinary people can’t run for office because they can’t afford it,” Buck said.

Republican Rep. Chuck Goodrich, 29th District, said he wants to pass a bill that eliminates the income of a student in a work-based learning program or internship from affecting the benefits their family receives.

Republican Rep. Jerry Torr, 39th District, said he doesn’t have many bills that will make headlines, but he is co-sponsoring legislation with Goodrich and Republican Rep. Donna Schaibley that allows judges of the Hamilton Circuit and Superior Courts to jointly appoint an additional magistrate.

Schaibley, 24th District, introduced a bill concerning health care costs.

“I think all of us, businesses, people, individuals, are dealing with the exponential cost of health care,” Schaibley said. Her bill would require the governing board of a nonprofit hospital to hold public, semiannual meetings explaining measures the hospital is taking to make health services more affordable.

Republican Rep. Tony Cook, 32nd District, co-sponsored a bill that decouples testing from teacher evaluations.

“I’ve always thought that was unfair,” Cook said. The bill would remove the requirement that a school corporation’s annual performance evaluation plan for teachers be based, in part, on objective measures of student test scores.

Republican Rep. Todd Huston, 37th District and House Speaker-elect, said his role has changed, and as a result, he wrote only one bill. But he stressed that the area is “represented extraordinarily well” by the lawmakers in attendance.

“It’s a privilege to serve with these folks,” Huston said.

Spaghetti supper set

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Throughout the 2019-20 school year, Noblesville Schools staff has been creative in findSCHOOLS ing ways to honor the district’s 150th anniversary. One upcoming event will pay tribute to an event of nearly 60 years ago.

On Jan. 31, the same night as the annual Noblesville Schools Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the NHS boys basketball game against Hamilton Southeastern, the district will conduct a community spaghetti supper, a lost tradition of the 1960s and ’70s that invited the public into the school for a meal before the start of home basketball games.

“Back in the day, spaghetti suppers before games were major social events,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications for Noblesville Schools. “As part of our 150th anniversary celebration, we wanted to host a throwback spaghetti supper.”

The case for Local women urges state, schools to change curriculum

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A Noblesville woman is doing her part to ensure cursive writing returns as a staple of public school curriculum.

COVER STORY Patty Mac Innis, a Noblesville resident and member of the Hamilton County Artists’ Association, discovered cursive wasn’t being taught in Noblesville Schools when she found out that her grandchildren weren’t being taught.

After researching the issue, Mac Mac Innis Innis learned cursive was eliminated from school curriculum in 2011.

Mac Innis then discovered that State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) was championing a cause to reintroduce cursive as a requirement.

“I had the opportunity to talk with her for about 45 minutes on the phone,” said Mac Innis, noting that Leising introduced a bill seven years ago requiring cursive to be taught in elementary schools.

The bill didn’t pass in the House of Representatives.

Leising hasn’t given up on the effort, and Mac Innis has decided to help her.

“We’ve kept in contact, and I’ve offered to help anyway I could,” Mac Innis said. “I also brought it up during coffee with (superintendent) Dr. (Beth) Niedermeyer a few years ago and didn’t get much response.

“I learned there are so many things the teachers are required to teach, and you can see this every day — teachers having to take over so much of what used to be done in the home, but there are unintended consequences of not knowing cursive, and that is what I am trying to bring to everybody’s attention.”

Mac Innis recently came across two cases in which local residents were negatively impacted by not knowing cursive. In one example, a local post office employee told Mac Innis that several passport applications were denied because high school students didn’t know how to sign their names in cursive. Another example was of a Noblesville em-

(Above) Patty Mac Innis wrote a weekly letter to her grandchildren when they were freshmen in college to ensure they could read cursive. (Right) Mac Innis said some students are unable to read the Charters of Freedom at Federal Hill Commons because the documents are written in cursive. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

ployer who wrote a note of praise to a student for a job well done. The note was written in cursive, which the student couldn’t read.

“Many children don’t even know how to sign their name in cursive for legal documents,” Mac Innis said.

Some local students are unable to read the Charters of Freedom permanent display at Federal Hill Commons of the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution because the documents are in cursive.

“It’s an impressive display funded by Vance of Mary Jo Patterson of Morgantown, N.C., supported by the City of Noblesville and the Noblesville Parks Dept.,” Mac Innis said. “It is one of only three displays in the nation that is illuminated.

“Unfortunately, the ability to read these documents has been eliminated for our young people who are now between the ages of 9 and 17 years old.”

Some schools still teach cursive while others don’t because the lessons are no longer required in Common Core curriculum.

At Noblesville Schools, cursive is not a part of the curriculum.

“There are a lot of subjects we wish we had time to make available for students, but unfortunately curriculum choices have to be made,” district officials stated. “Being able to sign one’s name is clearly important, but reading and writing cursive is not a workforce priority for today’s careers and therefore is not a focus for us.”

TEACHING HER GRANDCHILDREN Patty Mac Innis is doing her part to ensure her grandchildren can read and write in cursive even though it is no longer a required part of school curriculum.

“I’ve made a vow,” she said. “I have seven grandchildren and two are in college. During their first year of college, I wrote a letter every week in cursive on nice stationary about all the changes a freshman in college is going through.

I tell them they don’t have to write me back, but the letters are in cursive and they have got to know how to read these letters.”

ESSAY

LETTER

The dating game

Act now

Commentary by Terry Anker So, the aphorism goes: The only thing constant is change itself.

As our years on the planet rack up, we become more confirmed in the cliché. We communicate with each other differently. Texting, cellphones and email were inconceivable only a few years ago. We eat, travel and reside in an ever-evolving fashion.

The very expression of what it means to be a family, community and society is constantly being reimagined, contorted and tested.

And even the age-old “Dating Game” has entirely new rules. Kids and adults find each other via apps and chat rooms. It is a brave new world.

Yet, aren’t we still seeking companionship, love and relevance just like we always did?

Still, shouldn’t we challenge our accepted notions occasionally, not necessarily to overturn them, but to determine their applicability and validity? Are we living well? Are we living as we should? The examination of a life shouldn’t imply that the existing life is unworthy – often in review we discover that the patterns we employ, even while imperfect, are the very best choices available. Should our desire for change allow for a reinvestment in the existing standards and relationships? While many of us only consider “change” to mean a wholesale destruction of what came before, is it possible that our gnawing and unsettled lives don’t demand something new but rather a proper execution of and investment in that which we already have?

Editor, Congratulations! We have just finished the hottest decade ever.

And it is going to get hotter!

The threat of the climate crisis could not be clearer.

The voices of our best scientists warn of cascading droughts, heat waves, hurricanes and more growing in frequency and ferocity if we don’t slash fossil fuel emissions.

As a baby boomer, I am concerned about the world that we are leaving for our children and you should be also.

Look at a few of the recent headlines: • The Amazon (the lungs of the planet) is burning at an unprecedented rate.

• Sea levels are on the rise.

• Crop yields are plummeting as we go from extreme rain to extreme heat.

If we leave our children a world where ongoing climate catastrophe is the new normal, it won’t be because we didn’t know. It will be because we didn’t act (The Climate Reality Project). Get educated and act now so you can help fix the issues before it is too late.

James Henderson, Westfield

Resolute against self-improvement Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The 2020s have begun. I know I’m supposed to make New Year’s resolutions to better myself, HUMOR but I never do. I’m just not very good at self-improvement. There are plenty of other people out there who could resolve to make Dick Wolfsie’s life simpler and less stressful. For example: • Everyone who will ever be in front of me in line at Dunkin’ Donuts should resolve not to spend three minutes deciding whether they want the 13th doughnut to be chocolate creme or glazed blueberry. In 1979, I picked my future wife out of a crowd at a party in 90 seconds. Choosing a pastry should be quicker.

• My wife must resolve to quit bugging me about wearing my hearing aids. She nagged me for years to buy the darn things. She claims there’s no point in having them if I don’t put them in my

ears, like I had never heard that before.

• Cashiers should resolve to not look at my full name on my credit card and call me Rich. My mother called me Richard only when she was really annoyed with me. Our accountant once called me rich after grabbing someone else’s tax return by mistake.

• My friends need to resolve not to make fun of me for still having an AOL account. I know you Gmailers and Ameritech people think you are really hip. So, knock off the kidding or I’ll throw my flip phone at you.

• Scammers should resolve to not send me emails saying I have won a $100 gift card to Amazon or Walmart. I have not won a gift card. I have “won” the opportunity to answer 100 questions, and then maybe I have a chance to have a chance to win a $100 card if I sign up for periodic chimney sweeping or duct cleaning.

• Publishing companies must resolve to not send me renewal notices when I still have two years left on my subscription. I don’t keep track of this stuff, so I am now getting four copies of Time magazine every week.

• Fast-food places must resolve not to give me the senior discount unless I specifically ask for it. When the cashier sees my gray hair and wrinkles, I get 10 percent off. But then I go to Kroger for beer and I have to show my driver’s license, in case I’m a really mature-looking teenager.

I have some more resolutions on my list, but first I want you to resolve never to call me grumpy. Happy 2020 to all!

You can stop Google tracking — When news broke that a tool called the Location History Visualizer could

use Google data to create a heat map of all the places you’ve ever been, it was met with equal parts fascination and trepidation. Unless you’ve specifically changed your location history settings, the tech giant probably knows just about everything. As Todd Haselton wrote for CNBC, Google knew when he arrived at his office — down to the exact minute — and also stored a copy of the photos he took at each location he visited. This information is gathered and stored even when you’re not using Google Maps or another Google app. The company says this personal map is only visible to you, but if you’re uncomfortable with the concept of your whereabouts being digitized, disable Google’s location tracking feature.

Just keep in mind that “some Google apps may not work the same as they did before,” according to Google.

Warm up with these winter whiskeys

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Fashion choices and wine and spirit selections become darker in the winter months, LIBATIONS and local restaurants and bars are joining the trend. Here’s a guide to navigating some of the best local whiskey selections in Hamilton County.

CONVIVIO ITALIAN ARTISAN CUISINE 11529 Springmill Rd., Carmel Customers may be more apt to think of ordering wine when dining at an upscale Italian restaurant, but Convivio Italian Artisan Cuisine’s Winter Old-Fashioned ($15) may change minds.

Convivio’s take on an old-fashioned is a punchy rendition of the traditional cocktail, combining a blend of the restaurant’s house-made gingercello, Knob Creek Rye, 1821 Apple Cardamom Shrub, Woodford Reserve Chocolate Bitters and a muddled orange garnished with a cinnamon stick and star anise.

The drink goes down amazingly smooth and warms you inside out.

Pair with a hearty serving of pasta.

For more, visit convivioindy.com.

1933 LOUNGE 9707 District North Dr., Fishers 1933 Lounge has an impressive bourbon selection. It offers four bourbon and whiskey flights with three-quarter-ounce pours of three different whiskeys. The bar offers a Bourbon Starter flight with Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace and Noble Oak for novice bourbon drinkers for $14.

A Private Selections flight features Whistle Pig, Woodford and Knob Creek Rye for $19. The Director’s Flight features Rabbit Hole Dare-

ringer, Old Forester Statesman and Angels Envy for $21. For discerning drinkers, an Orphan Barrel Rhetoric Library flight features Orphan Barrel’s 23-year, 24-year and 25-year selections for $85.

Pictured above, the Private Selections flight has flavors of, clockwise from left, Whistle Pig Rye with a citrus nose and notes of vanilla, light toast pear and almond; Woodford Reserve with notes of honey, brown sugar, vanilla and a malted finish; and Knob Creek Rye with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, bergamot and spearmint.

For a decadent splurge, try a glass of Whistle Pig’s 18-year rye for $81.

The libation has an elegance and balance for a well-rounded, softer whiskey. Order it neat with a side of ice to sample each flavor profile because ice or water will open the flavors.

For more, visit 1933lounge.com.

THE BROKEN BARREL 1156 Keystone Way, Carmel Nestled in a small room next to Wolfie’s Grill in Carmel, The Broken Barrel has a speakeasy vibe with its

wood tones, exposed brick wall and leather chairs. A lone television continually shows blackand-white classics with no sound, and swing music plays in the background.

The bar offers 95 kinds of whiskey and an expansive cocktail menu, and even new whiskey drinkers will find something they like, usually in the Dave’s Golden Rip-off ($9), a blend of Larceny Bourbon with Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, lemon juice and an organic honey shrub. For seasoned whiskey drinkers, try a flight of Japanese whiskey for $40, which features 1.5-ounce samples of Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Coffey Malt and Nikka Pure Malt. Flights are generally served with a side of ice.

For cocktail lovers, try the Basil’s Dark Manhattan ($10) made with Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye, a velvety whiskey blended with port.

For more, visit thebrokenbarrel. com.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 219 Park St., Westfield What to get: Fried ravioli Price: $9 Anna’s take: Stepping into The Italian House on Park is like stepping into a restaurant in Tuscany. I’ve never been to Italy, but I imagine The Italian House on Park is what it would be like.

Wooden shutters and soft red stucco walls create an enchanting, romantic atmosphere.

I sampled several items, one of which is the restaurant’s most popular: Fried ravioli for $9. The dish is hand-rolled pasta with pockets of ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. The ravioli is dusted with chives and a Parmesan breading. The dish is served with a side of vodka sauce made in-house.

I also sampled the Caesar salad, a great choice for only $6. Romaine wedges are adorned with fresh-grated Parmesan, sliced onions, house-made croutons and a Caesar dressing, all served on a chilled plate.

My main course was lasagna ($16), a giant brick layered with beef, pork, sheets of pasta and cheese. It was soaked in red sauce (white sauce also is available) and was delightful and filling.

For dessert, try the tiramisu ($7), a portion as generous as the lasagna and just as delicious.

With its soft lighting and beautiful interior, The Italian House on Park would be ideal for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Make reservations now before it’s too late.

A fun fact: The Italian House on Park used to be a single-family home, and each family who has lived in the house has dined at the restaurant.

Suggested pairings: To pair with the fried ravioli, order a bottle of Banfi la Pettegola Vermentino ($36). Pair a bottle of Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio ($33) with the Caesar salad, a bottle of the Carpineto Chianti ($52) with the lasagna and enjoy a glass of Cooper & Thief Red Wine Blend for dessert ($10).

Behind bars: Liquid Love Affair Get it at 1933 Lounge, Fishers Ingredients: 2 oz. Stoli vanilla vodka, 1 oz. pineapple juice, 1 oz. passionfruit puree, .5 oz. lemon juice, Champagne, orange peel Directions: Shake ingredients with ice, strain into a glass, top with champagne and add an orange peel as a garnish.

Reluctant word choice Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting Shakespeare’s birthplace Commentary by Don Knebel Every year, more than 2.5 million people visit Stratford-upon-Avon, about 100 miles northTRAVEL west of London, to honor William Shakespeare, who was born there and died there.

While in town, they can experience the brilliance of his works.

Stratford-upon-Avon, or simply Stratford, was a small village along the Avon River until 1196, when King Richard I granted it both a charter as a town and a charter allowing the new town to hold a weekly market.

The market town soon attracted merchants and artisans, some of whom became wealthy and built large homes.

No later than 1552, when he was fined for leaving rubbish on the street, John Shakespeare began renting a large house on Henley Street, part of which he used as a residence and part of which he used for his successful glove-making business. William Shakespeare, the third of John’s eight children, was born to his wife Mary in late April 1564, the exact day unknown.

John purchased the house in 1574, and William lived there until he was 18,

when he married Anne Hathaway.

William inherited the house from his father and rented it for use as the Maidenhead Inn. When Shakespeare died in Stratford in 1616 at age 52, the house passed to his daughter, and eventually passed outside Shakespeare’s family and fell into disrepair.

With the support of Charles Dickens and others, the house was acquired in 1847 by a public trust, which restored the house to how it would have looked when Shakespeare lived there, complete with his father’s glove-making shop.

Visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon can tour Shakespeare’s birthplace and the adjoining Shakespeare Center.

They can visit Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was baptized and is buried. They can then attend a production of the Royal Shakespeare Co., which produces works of Shakespeare and works of contemporary playwrights.

Have you ever seen a picture of yourself from an unusual angle?

Using the GRAMMAR GUY wrong word is kind of like that, even when it’s the trendy thing to do. Sometimes, we unknowingly use a popular buzzword regardless of whether or not we understand its meaning. I’d like to discuss a trend I’ve noticed when it comes to the use of the word “reticent.” People are starting to use reticent when they should be using “reluctant.” Let’s get it straight, shall we?

Reluctant is an adjective that means unwilling to act. We get this English word from the Latin “re” (against) and “luctari” (to struggle or wrestle). So, reluctant literally means to struggle or wrestle against something. Here’s an example: Because Steve always took good care of his things, he was re-

luctant to spring for the AppleCare plan.

Reticent is an adjective that means disinclined to speak. Breaking it down into the original Latin, we get “re” (in this case, “re” means “once more” or “again”) and “tacere” (be silent). Reticent, therefore, means “to be silent again.” We get the word “tacit” from this Latin word. Here’s an example: Since Sheila’s such a humble person, she’s reticent to comment on her recent promotion.

I’ve heard someone say something to the effect of “I’m reticent to RSVP for Glen’s birthday party this year.” In this case, “reticent” is not the right word to use. Instead, stick with “reluctant.”
