Police present awards at annual ceremony

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At a ceremony earlier this month, the Noblesville Police Dept. recognized nine individuals, including officers and RECOGNITION civilians, with awards for valor and heroism.

Three Noblesville West Middle School staff were honored for their service during the May 25, 2018 shooting at the school.

Jason Seaman, the seventh-grade NWMS teacher who is credited with stopping the shooting in his classroom and was shot three times, was given the NPD’s Distinguished Citizen Service Award. NWMS nurse Megan Schlueter, who provided lifesaving aid to student victim Ella Whistler immediately after the shooting, also was given the Distinguished Citizen Service Award. The award is the highest the police department can give to a civilian, and this is the first time in the department’s history the award has been given.

NWMS resource officers Patrolman Michael Steffen and Sgt. Andrew Reiss were given Lifesaving Awards for their work on May 25.

“You never know what the next call will be or what the situation is when you are the first to arrive on scene. We have an extraordinary group of officers protecting our community, and these officers went above and beyond the call of duty to save lives and make a lasting impact,” NPD Chief Kevin Jowitt said. “Jason Seaman distinguished himself through personal bravery and intrepidness at the risk of his own life without hesitation, as he apprehended an armed assailant in his classroom. His extraordinary acts in the face of personal danger and his professional response during the incident are to be commended. Megan Schlueter’s actions in this incident, while under extreme duress, demonstrated her commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care.”

The department also presented Medals of

Progress being made on funding commitments Commentary by Beth Niedermeyer One aspect I’ve especially enjoyed as superintendent of Noblesville Schools has been connecting with the SCHOOLS community, listening and learning from you, sharing district challenges, plans and accomplishments and working together to best serve children.

This year, thanks to Current, we can extend that connection through a new quarterly column that will highlight what’s happening at Noblesville Schools.

We’re so thankful for the support of our referendum, and I wanted to use this first column to share progress being made on those funding commitments. We’ve been busy executing plans for enhanced safety, mental health and staff compensation.

We’re currently in the process of recruiting a safety director, mental health coordinator and AV technician (security surveillance). We’ll be posting openings for social workers, school counselors and middle school deans shortly.

We added four new school resource officers from the Noblesville Police Dept. this year and expect to add four more in August, thanks to the funding partnership with the city.

While I can’t detail all the specific safety enhancements we’re making without jeopardizing their effectiveness, I can share that we’re currently upgrading security systems and tightening access to our buildings.

We’re also at work on a new middle school mentoring program, diversity initiatives and integrating social/emotional support practices into all our classrooms.

As we’ve shared previously, 47 percent of referendum funding will be used to address shortages in staff compensation, and we will be able to begin salary negotiations with our teachers’ association in September.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, or our district and school leaders, with questions on these items or others. You also can join me at Table Talk the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at Noble Coffee and Tea, 933 Logan St. Our website, noblesvilleschools.org, also is a great resource for additional information, and you can specifically reference referendum commitments at bit.ly/2LJbrNv.

Local author tells story of her great-great-grandfather settling in Indiana in the 1800s

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Charlotte Reynolds has spent the past decade learning the history of her family.

In November 2018, COVER STORY Deep River Books published her novel, “He Called Himself a Barnstormer,” a 29-chapter historical fiction centered on the life of her great-great-grandfather, James Scott.

“He was born in 1800 and died in 1890.

His granddaughter was my grandmother.

She passed down stories, but there wasn’t a lot that I remembered,” said Reynolds, a Noblesville resident. “I started writing it 10 years ago. It took me about eight years because I had to study a lot of the history because it’s a historical novel. I took time off to read other books, so there’s a lot of the history involved.”

Reynolds said most of what she learned about Scott’s life was from an article written by a great uncle and passed down.

“I came to know about him because he had a grandson who wrote for the Christian Standard, which is a publication out of the Christian church,” Reynolds said. “In 1910, he gave a rundown of what happened to (Scott) in his life, and I took that and studied the history behind the facts for my book.

The history is true, but there were a lot of pieces I had to fill in with my imagination.

But the basic things that happened to him really happened.”

The original article from the Christian Standard that Reynolds based her book on is included at the back of the novel, along with a photo of her grandfather.

“He lived a very interesting life,” Reynolds said. “He lived in New York, but eventually he came to Ohio, then Indiana, settling in Adams County, but there was about 10 years of his life he lived in Madison County before he returned to Adams County and Jay County.”

Scott’s life, particularly in his early years, was adventure-filled. According to the Christian Standard article, before the age of 12 he completed a shipping and sailing apprenticeship, traveling to shores all across Europe. He would later marry and continue

“I became so absorbed and intrigued with the idea, I could not quit writing.”

in the shipping trade with his father. Scott and his father sailed for Europe in the fall of 1822 with a cargo of flax but were overtaken by a pirate sloop called The Bald Hornet.

Scott, then 22, his father and several other members of the crew were held prisoner.

Eventually, the ship sailed into a storm and crashed into the rocks of a tropical island. All died except Scott, who was stranded on the island for the next two years before being saved by a passing ship and taken to New York.

The first lines of Reynolds’ novel places Scott on the rocks among the ship’s wreck-

age. After he left the shipping trade, Scott became a preacher and settled in Indiana permanently in 1840. He moved to Madison County during the Civil War. Reynolds was inspired to write the novel after trying to tell Scott’s story to her son, Tom. “In an attempt to encourage him, I wrote the first paragraph,” Reynolds said. “I became so absorbed and intrigued with the idea, I could not quit writing, so the next thing you know, I’m writing the book.”

“He Called Himself a Barnstormer” is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For

In 1977, she became a “pro-family” delegate to the International Women’s Year Conference in Houston and wrote a book about the experience.

ESSAY Think about it

LETTER Committed to clean campaigning

Commentary by Terry Anker “You better think. Think. Think about what you’re trying to do to me.” So powerful is the admonishment of the acclaimed “Queen of Soul,” Aretha Franklin, that the song’s lyrics can be sung by heart by a generation — or two or three.

The catchy tune and expert delivery may have some sway in determining the track’s longevity. Still, the verse connects with us. Our idiom is filled with reference to thought, or lack thereof.

We say “don’t think about it” rather than “you’re welcome.” We claim a “time to think” instead of demanding a break. We “think we know.” And, we “thought you understood.” We “sit and think.” And, “we think, therefore we are.” Suffice it to say, we think a lot. Even so, if we find ourselves incumbently reflective, why is it that we manage to be so thoughtless? Is it our lack of time just to think? Or is it that when we are busy that we just can’t think straight? Perhaps.

Modern life allows for little reflection. The traffic, news cycles and abundant attractive distractions all contribute to our hopelessly short attention spans. The very fact that one takes the time to read this local newspaper indicates a “thinking” superiority.

Yet, if Ms. Franklin’s point is to be made, how can we navigate our world, let alone relationships with others, absent a bit of thinking? Is it like all-too-many efforts wherein we talk much more about them than actually undertake the doing of them? If thinking matters, what is on our “thinking” list? When do we make time to address it? What is the objective, if any, of our deep reflection? Have we studied how to improve as thinkers – or do we simply expect to improve with time?

Hmm. I guess we’d better think.

My silver screen moment Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my dream of becoming an actress finally came true! Sure, it was a cameo, and yes, it was in a student HUMOR film that will be less than five minutes. And OK, fine, I play a teacher, but the point is, I have fulfilled a lifelong goal. There is hope for everyone!

Now, back to me and my award-winning performance. I’m pretty sure I was amazing.

I haven’t seen the final cut yet, but by all accounts, especially my own, I nailed it. Even better, the entire experience went exactly the way I’d hoped. I was able to talk to the teenage director/writer/producer/editor/ camera man about my “motivation,” shout “line?” at absolutely no one, and incorporate a slight Southern accent and a not-so-slight eyebrow raise in a menacing fashion. Of course, like any 40-something ingénue, I goofed my scene twice and once accidentally turned my mic off, but those mishaps

simply made my time on set that much sweeter. Can y’all say “blooper reel?”

In all seriousness, I have wanted to be in a play or a movie for as long as I can remember. My four sisters and I grew up putting on Christmas skits and re-enacting scenes from classics, including “Mommie Dearest” and “Silence of the Lambs.” And I came close in seventh grade when I was cast as the understudy for the main character’s mom in our school’s religious musical. So, to actually have the chance to be in a real-life film, albeit a student short, is literally a dream come true. Don’t give up on yours. There is always time.

See you on the red carpet!

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.”

-Anne Frank

Editor, In light of commissioner Steve Dillinger’s challenge during the State of the County address to avoid negative campaigning, I am sharing my commitment to run a positive and transparent (mayoral) campaign, as well as a transparent and positive administration if elected.

I believe that Noblesville can be a model for a new way of campaigning and governing, one that listens to and actively seeks engagement from its citizens. During my 12 years of service on the Noblesville School Board, it was a hallmark of our work that we sought to connect with our community in a variety of ways – electronic newsletters, social media, public forums and coffee.

I will use the same methods during my campaign and during my administration.

As an attorney, I am always conscious of avoiding conflicts of interest because I want to be clear of any appearance of bias or favoritism. I am not accepting contributions from those who do business with the City of Noblesville and am relying on my supporters, friends and family to fund my campaign. I look forward to meeting the citizens of Noblesville on their doorsteps, at various public forums and around town during the next three months.

Can’t buy me love: Romance scams

Commentary by J. Douglas Kouns

They steal your heart, then steal your money. In 2017, the FBI reported more than 15,000 victims with more than FRAUD $200 million in reported losses.

It’s a good time to remind people of this prevalent and heinous scam.

Recently, a person hired us to confirm the background of her online love interest.

After proving he didn’t exist, she wouldn’t accept it. We warned, “He will soon tell you of an emergency and ask you for money.

Don’t!” She emailed later, heartbroken, “You were right. His daughter is supposedly sick and needs $1,200 for medicine. Thank you!”

Typically, the victims are older, single and emotionally vulnerable women. Predators learn this information from public social media and online dating profiles. They spend the first weeks, even months, chatting, flirting and escalating the relationship. They’ll exchange fake pictures and family stories to lure victims, gaining trust and confidence.

Once the hook is set, an emergency arises and they need just a few hundred or thou-

sand dollars. But then another thing and another thing arises. One extreme example cost a wealthy widow nearly $2 million dollars as she was milked for cash over time.

Protect yourself. Research the person’s photo and profile using online searches. Go slow, ask lots of questions. Beware if the individual seems too perfect or quickly asks you to go offline. Beware if the individual attempts to isolate you from friends and family or requests inappropriate photos or financial information. Beware if the individual promises to meet in person, then always comes up STK# T17049 with an excuse. Never send money to anyone you don’t know personally.

STK# T17049 If you suspect a scam, stop all contact immediately. If you are the victim of a scam, file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.

Bargain fares on upscale airlines — There’s a very attractive loophole for Americans who want to fly to a foreign country — take a foreign airline that has nothing to do with that country. Normally, airlines from a given country are, by international treaty, not allowed to fly passengers directly between two other countries. But the terms of that 1944 aviation treaty also say that if a flight stops along the way, new passengers can start or end their own journeys at that ­interim stop. In the airline industry, these are called “fifth-freedom flights” because they’re based on the fifth item in the treaty, and airlines increasingly are taking advantage of this loophole to fly popular or underserved routes. For U.S. passengers, this can be a way to fly on an airline that’s known for elite comfort and service including Emirates and others such as Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Singapore Airlines. On the downside, most fifth-freedom flights occur only once a day, so if your flight is canceled or you’re bumped, the airline might struggle to quickly get you on a different flight to your destination.

Julian Bliss Septet to perform tribute to jazz legend Benny Goodman

editorial@youarecurrent.com For nearly 50 years, the Indiana Repertory Theatre has welcomed nearly 5 million people through its doors to entertain, educate and enlighten.

On Feb. 11, the IRT announced the public phase of its capital campaign, Front and Center, to ensure that these community offerings continue for generations. The campaign, chaired by community leaders Gene Tempel and Sarah and John Lechleiter, has already received $17 million in commitments toward the $18.5 million goal.

Money raised through the campaign will support the immediate needs of the IRT, while also supporting projects for the theater’s long-term sustainability and growth in Indianapolis, according an IRT news release.

For the full story, visit currentnightandday.com.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com British clarinetist Julian Bliss was trained in classical music and never envisioned being part of a jazz CONCERT septet.

“Since I was never taught jazz, I thought it was so far removed from classical stuff, so I didn’t consider it as a possibility as a kid growing up,” Bliss said. “It wasn’t until I was putting together an idea for a CD that I thought this is possible, and why can’t I play jazz and classical alongside each other? There is no reason why not, so that’s when I decided to start the band,” The Julian Bliss Septet will perform “A Tribute to Benny Goodman” at 8 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Palladium in Carmel. Goodman, known as the “King of Swing,” was a clarinetist and band leader.

“The band was established in 2010, and the first project we did was a tribute to Benny Goodman,” Bliss said. “For a clarinetist, it was quite a natural way to start, but no means an easy place. We toured extensively in the UK and all over Europe.

The last four years we’ve been coming to the USA and playing at a variety of places.

We have a secondary show now based on Gershwin, but the Benny Goodman show is one we’ve done quite a number of times.”

A jazz septet is a formation of seven musicians. Bliss said the tribute constantly evolves.

“We’re adding and changing things,” Bliss said. “With jazz, no two performances are the same. Even though we have done it for a number of years, it always takes on a new identity in every single performance we do.”

Bliss plays a variety of tunes from the era.

“We do some arrangements from the big band era, which are quite exciting,” Bliss said. “The arrangements were very diverse with the type of groups Benny Goodman had. It’s through the arrangements that we can try to tackle some of the big band num-

bers and some of the small band numbers.”

Bliss said when he put the band together, he realized he had to include a vibraphone.

“First of all, it’s an amazing instrument,” Bliss said. “When it’s played to a high standard, it’s quite a spectacle. It’s a very unique sound and bells with the clarinet quite well. Back in Benny Goodman’s day, he played a lot with Lionel Hampton, and it created a very unique sound. The other benefit of the vibes is it can play chords and provide harmony and a lot of structure, especially when you are creating the big-band sounds, so a vibraphone alongside a piano, you can have quite a lot of voices. It offers a nice contrast with

the clarinet, so that’s the idea behind the instrumentation.”

Bliss said when he performs classical music, he performs with an orchestra.

“I make sure every concert I have the same people because we all get along very well,” Bliss said. “It’s quite a collaborative effort. We’re all in it together, so it’s important to have the same people.”

Bliss started playing the clarinet at age 4. A child prodigy who studied at Indiana University at age 12, he works with ConnSelmer, a musical instruments manufacturer based in Elkhart.

“I spend a decent amount of time in Indiana these days,” Bliss said.

NHS musicians jazzed up again

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Bethany Robinson remembers a time in the not-too-distant past when Noblesville High School was barely repMUSIC resented in the All-State Jazz Band.

“About five years ago, we had our very first student selected for the All-State Jazz Band,” said Robinson, assistant band director and jazz director at NHS. “Since then the numbers have grown steadily.”

Have they ever.

Of the 39 students selected statewide for the 2019 Indiana Jazz Educators Association’s All-State Jazz Ensemble and Junior AllState Jazz Ensemble, nine were from NHS. The figure is the highest yet for the school.

“The large number of students from NHS is a reflection of this incredible community, our administration support and the great music education starting at our elementary schools and continuing through the middle and high schools,” Robinson said. “Our students are very dedicated, and it’s such a joy to teach such well-rounded and hardworking students.”

Students are selected through a blind audition process judged by some of the

state’s top jazz musicians and college music professors. The ensembles then perform at the annual Indiana Music Educators Association Conference in the historic Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne.

This year’s event was Jan. 18.

Representing NHS on the All-State Jazz Ensemble (grades 10 through 12) were Grace Wiles (trombone) and Sam Eger (piano).

The Junior All-State members (grades seven through nine) were Nate Cook (saxophone), Connor Meinerding (trumpet), Tyler Siversten (lead trombone), Sean Vitales (trombone), Nicholas Ok (piano), Andrew Matthews (guitar) and Jay Thornbury (bass).

With a deliciously tart jam dripping down the sides, it was a fantastic and filling breakfast. The dish is served with a side of bourbon maple syrup (yum) and topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

$2. I’m a crispy bacon kind of girl, and LouVino didn’t disappoint.

The thing I like the most about LouVino is, you can receive phenomenal service and experience decadent brunch food minus the markup price of restaurants with similar ambience.

Suggested pairings: There’s really no better option for a brunch beverage than the classic mimosa, and LouVino sells them for $2 during brunch, which is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.

If you’re not a mimosa fan, LouVino is known for its bourbon cocktails. I’m not sure if I would suggest that for brunch, but to each their own. Cheers.

Behind bars: Raspberry Bourbon Smash Get it at Pure Eatery, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz.

How do you plead?

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Valley of the Queens, near Luxor, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Visiting The Valley of the Queens Commentary by Don Knebel Most Americans have probably heard of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Less well known is a nearby valley that contained the tomb of one of ancient Egypt’s most TRAVEL celebrated women.

In about 1600 B.C., Egyptians began burying their pharaohs, along with the pharaoh’s wives and children, in concealed tombs cut deep into the limestone in a secluded valley on the west bank of the Nile near what is today Luxor. In about 1300 B.C., with the coming of the powerful pharaohs of the 19th dynasty, new tombs in this Valley of the Kings were restricted to men. A similar valley a few miles to the south, which the Egyptians called Ta-SetNeferu (The Place of Beauty), was chosen for the tombs of royal women, probably starting with a wife of Ramses I, the 19th dynasty’s founder.

Since the early 20th century, archaeologists have uncovered more than 90 tombs in what is now popularly called the Valley of the Queens. The most exquisitely

decorated tomb belonged to Nefertari, the favorite wife of Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for 66 years and is often associated with the biblical Exodus. When Nefertari’s tomb was discovered in 1904, its contents, including the sarcophagus, had been stolen long before, but the colorfully painted reliefs on the walls and ceilings remained remarkably intact and vibrant, leading some to compare it to the Sistine Chapel. One set of reliefs in the queen’s burial chamber illustrates teachings from the Book of the Dead, including the formula the queen was required to recite to gain access to the afterlife, a kind of prompt if she forgot the words.

Other reliefs include a short love poem from Ramses. In 2016, two dismembered and mummified legs found in the tomb were identified as those of Nefertari. What happened to the rest of her remains a mystery.

I’m sure pleats will eventually come back into style. I still remember the pleated khakis I GRAMMAR GUY wore to church in the mid-1990s. My Dockers brand double-pleated pants complemented my penny loafers to perfection in order to create that “nice-Baptist-guyall-the-girls-just-want-to-be-friends-with” look I was going for.

Today, I’m not talking about pleats. I’m talking about the words pleaded and pled.

With high-profile political court cases in the news (and perhaps more to come in the near future), I thought it would be a great time to brush up on the different ways people claim their innocence while under oath.

Back in December, former personal lawyer to President Trump Michael Cohen said, “I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to — the personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America.” Yet, at the end of January, a New York Times article led with this line: “President Trump’s longtime adviser Roger J. Stone Jr. pleaded not

guilty on Tuesday…”

Is it possible both usages are correct?

If the past tense of “lead” is “led,” and if “bleed” becomes “bled,” shouldn’t the past tense of “plead” be “pled?” Not so fast! What about “bleat” and “bleated” or “knead” and “kneaded?” There’s no pattern to this word construction, so let’s seek an expert opinion. According to the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, “pleaded” is always the acceptable past tense form of “plead.” They assert that “pled” is considered a colloquialism, which is a really nice way of saying “bless your heart, you don’t know any better.”

When it comes down to it, “pled” isn’t incorrect, but it’s certainly losing in the popularity polls. If the federal investigators keep handing out subpoenas, we’ll all be paying attention to how each individual pleads (and also if his/her pants have pleats).
