Hundreds of Noblesville students take part in national demonstration against gun violence

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At 10 a.m. March 14, approximately 700 Noblesville High School students took part in an organized, 17-minute walkout.

SCHOOLS The event was a demonstration against gun violence in fellowship with students across the nation in response to last month’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Approximately 400 students at East Middle School and 200 at West Middle School also took part in the walkout. Noblesville Police Dept. officers were on site for safety monitoring.

The entirety of the school day saw events organized by students to show support for MSDHS students and to honor victims of the Feb. 14 shooting, along with victims of all school shootings. At 6:45 a.m., students held a prayer vigil around the school flag. At 7:35 a.m., an extended moment of silence was observed, and during lunch, students had the opportunity to invite teachers to eat with them to discuss thoughts and concerns on school safety.

“The goal of March 14 is to remember the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and to honor their community’s loss by telling the stories of the students impacted by the Brock shooting,” said Mary Blake Brock, student body president at NHS. “Noblesville High School looks forward to celebrating acts of compassion and empathy while remembering and honoring the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. In times like these, we must stand together as a student body, district and community.”

Weeklong plans and a variety of events were proposed by student leadership to high school administrators earlier this month.

“NHS student leaders initiated discussion with high school administration on this topic and have several safe, constructive, student-

led activities to honor Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School victims planned for the week,” Noblesville Schools Supt. Beth Niedermeyer said. “Some examples include writing empathy messages, recognizing random acts of kindness, wearing MSDHS school colors,

producing a video to honor victims and more.”

“I was very impressed with the maturity and thoughtfulness of these student leaders.

They spoke from the heart on issues that matter deeply to them,” NHS Principal Jeff Bryant said.

SMC outgrowing headquarters Firm seeks tax incentives from city to double manufacturing, distribution

expansion would be built. The expansion would be complete by 2020.

SMC said the added square footage would shift its distribution operations to the new space.

This is not the first time the company has expanded in Noblesville. In 2012, SMC added 600,000 square feet to its building headquarters.

Aside from making more room for its expanded operations, SMC, as the largest private employer in the city with 954 employees, is promising 92 additional jobs by 2022. When presenting to the Noblesville Common Council at its March 13 meeting, Katie Culp, representing SMC from Katz Sapper Miller, said the company estimates add-

ing approximately 250 jobs within the next 10 years. However, an economic impact model by the company projects the number could be even higher, approximately 341 new jobs by 2028.

When SMC moved to Noblesville in 2009, it employed 425. Forty-one percent of the company’s employees are Hamilton County residents, and 20 percent are Noblesville residents.

The Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved preliminary resolutions for the plan, setting a public hearing for its next meeting at 7 p.m. March 27. After the public hearing, the council will take a final vote on the project.

Jowitt talks governor recognition, evolving police department Jowitt at the start of his tenture with the Noblesville Police Dept.

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since becoming chief of the Noblesville Police Dept. in 2009, Kevin Jowitt has overseen numerous changes, primarily in the way policing is done.

COVER STORY His work has caught the attention of others, as Jowitt was recently recognized by Gov. Eric Holcomb with the Distinguished Hoosier Award for his service to the state. He was nominated by his peers at the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police, which he joined in 2008 and served as president of last year.

“It was a huge honor to get that award. The nomination came from the chief’s association, which is one of the reasons it meant so much to me (because) it was presented by peer police chiefs,” Jowitt said. “It’s a phenomenal group. They’re great people. That recognition from them just meant a lot to me.”

The association’s current president is Jason Dombkowski, chief of West Lafayette Police Dept. “(Jowitt is) very progressive. He’s an innovator in law enforcement, not just his own agency but across the state, and he’s professional,” Dombkowski said. “He promotes training and education through the association like no president has beforehand.”

Prior to serving as chief of NPD, Jowitt was the Westfield Police Dept. chief from January 2008 to May 2009.

“I’ve lived in Noblesville for 34 years now. So, Noblesville is home,” Jowitt said. “Some people expressed some interest in me becoming the Noblesville chief of police, so I interviewed for that position and was chosen by Mayor (John) Ditslear and came here in May 2009. I loved working in Westfield, but Noblesville is home, so I’ve been here ever since.”

When Jowitt joined the NPD, he said it was “an excellent department with good people” but operated under Midwestern traditions which, according to Jowitt, was more of a reactive style of policing.

“Over the last nine years, we’ve changed the game up at Noblesville,” he said. “We started out emphasizing community-oriented policing. We started small with that, but it’s a very different approach because it’s oriented toward solving a problem as opposed to dealing with an incident. It allowed us to go outside the box and deal with issues for people that are not traditional policing issues to try to help them.”

In addition to implementing a community-oriented policing model, Jowitt also has overseen the development of NPD’s partic-

ipation with initiatives such as Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, citizen’s academy, a Crimewatch Program, a police explorer’s post and an increased social media presence. A Problem-Oriented Policing Team and a three-officer traffic unit were established. In July 2017, a Crime Analysis Unit was created.

“When the bulk of response is officers in patrol cars, the nature of police work doesn’t allow these guys and gals time to focus on a particular problem,” Jowitt said. “The responsiveness needed in patrol doesn’t lend well to problem-solving. The POP team and traffic idea was to give officers the time and resources to deal with other problems.”

Jowitt also oversaw the creation of a district policing program, where an officer is assigned to each neighborhood in Noblesville.

That officer serves as a liaison between the neighborhood and the police department.

Throughout his 42 years in law enforcement, Jowitt said the most important thing he’s learned is to be kind to people. He also places importance on the mental and physical well-being of the 82 officers who serve with NPD.

Jowitt’s years through law enforcement • May 1976: Joined Indiana University Bloomington’s Police Academy • August 1977: Graduated academy • 1979-1983: Worked as an underwriter at an insurance agency • 1983: Joined Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office as a reserve deputy • January 1985-1991: Served full-time for HCSO as a patrol officer and K-9 handler • 1991-1995: Served as a detective sergeant with HCSO • 1995: Returned to insurance field but also served as a reserve officer with the Cicero Police Dept.

• 2003-2008: Returned to HCSO as investigations commander • January 2008-May 2009: Served as Westfield Police Dept. chief

Diagnosis goes viral

O B S E R V AT I O N

The point of it

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Wisdom can come from the strangest of places. The same is said, too, of the lack thereof. Having been in the business of either being young, or being co-domiciled with the young, most Americans can say they’ve watched an episode or two of “The Simpsons.” Amongst its accolades, it is the longest-running sitcom, animated series and scripted prime-time series. We are amused by the clever catch phrases, Marge’s piled-high blue hair and Homer’s hapless, yet boundless, commitment to “the boy, the girl and the baby.”

During its 28-year run, to date, we have come to know and care about the rag-tag cast of characters – their flaws, insight and machinations. Each plays a role as the relational drama, wrapped in more than a dollop of slapstick, unfolds neatly in less than 22 minutes. The beloved, but often ignored, patriarch of the clan is Abraham Jedediah “Abe” Simpson II – mostly called Grandpa.

Abe once remarked, “I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now, what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you.”

Aside from getting a quick laugh and making a solid point, the old man has shared the secret of the longevity of the series (and perhaps of a happy life). It is ethereal. We cannot hope to contain it. We cannot expect to stand still and be on it. In fact, and by its very nature, it moves around. And, so what that it does? The elder Simpson, like the show itself, adapts as times change but doesn’t obsess over being too much it. The family is stable. The attire is identical. And the sofa, one of the longest-running gags in television, is still pushed against the wall. Is it what it’s cracked up to be?

Editor, I just wanted to give (columnist Danielle Wilson) my two cents on your commentary (published March 6) regarding arming teachers in schools. I do not think anyone is suggesting that all teachers in every school carry guns or that we should be turning our schools into penitentiaries. I do, however, think that it would be sensible to talk about the possibility of some teachers who already conceal carry, are experienced shooters, and feel comfortable with the responsibility having access to a gun in the classroom being part of the solution to protecting our children and teachers across the nation.

In some areas, this could work to add to the security of our schools in shooter situations, and in other areas there may need to be more armed officers on campus. We have seen that in these shooter situations, most of the devastation occurs within a matter of minutes while teachers are using their bodies to protect children, often losing their life in the process. Wouldn’t you rather hear that the football coach that lost his life

shielding his students instead had access to a gun and took out the shooter, minimizing or preventing the devastation that took place? Maybe if that was part of the story, these cowards might think twice about shooting up a school, knowing there’s a good chance they’ll be shot themselves. On the other hand, if it isn’t deterrence for the shooter because he’s suicidal, etc., at least the devastation could be much less and more lives could be saved.

If we want to engage in meaningful conversations and realistic solutions, as you’ve stated, then we should at least talk about the possible solutions.

Obviously, you wouldn’t be one of the teachers in this position to have access to a gun since you aren’t experienced or comfortable handling a gun. That doesn’t mean there aren’t teachers out there that are experienced and want to have the ability to protect themselves and their students in a situation like this.

We’ve been hit! The 2018 plague has finally reached the Wilson abode, and though I’m apparently immune, the HUMOR mental strain of dealing with a sick kid has taken a toll (how long ‘til spring break?)

Two weeks ago, the nurse from Tiny Dancer’s school called and left a cryptic voicemail: “Your daughter is running a lowgrade fever. She’s been asleep for an hour but we don’t want to check her again in case she’s over 100.” If a student records higher than that, they cannot return to school for at least 24 hours. God bless her, the nurse didn’t want to be responsible for my youngest missing more class time than was necessary.

We skipped the pediatrician (who’d just say it’s viral and to drink lots of fluids) and treated her flu-like symptoms at home with ibuprofen and Sunny D. TD recovered and made it another 10 days before she was struck down again. When the thermometer reached nearly 103, I hauled her to the nearest MinuteClinic, where she tested negative for both flu and strep, though even the nurse practitioner wasn’t sure she had “gotten good swabs.” This was when I made a fatal error: I went online.

According to the stupid internet, TD could have anything from mono to Lyme disease, but if it was undetected strep, my baby was at risk for rheumatic fever and possible heart failure. For two nights, I lie awake wondering if an ER run was in our future, so I finally made an appointment with the doctor, who looked at me and said, “It’s viral; drink lots of fluids.”

I need spring break. Peace out.

A heart scan can help detect early warning signs

Commentary by Dr. Ronald Mastouri

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, and the deadly condition can PREVENTION often strike without warning or symptoms.

For many adults, however, there is a way to learn more about their heart health through a heart scan.

A heart scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan that measures the amount of calcified or hardened plaque buildup inside the coronary arteries. The scan is completed in just a few minutes and does not require a contrast dye injection.

Reviewed and evaluated by a cardiologist, the series of images of the arteries and blood vessels reveals early warning signs of heart disease. Heart scans are intended for adults age 40 to 75 who have one or more risk factors for heart disease, which may include: • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Family history of heart disease,

stroke or vascular disease • Diabetes • Smoking • Obesity • Other vascular disease Based on your risk factors and medical history, your primary care provider can help determine whether you are a good candidate for a heart scan. Although the scan won’t tell definitively whether you will or won’t develop heart disease, it is a valuable and effective diagnostic tool for predicting whether future heart disease is possible. Depending on the results of the scan, the cardiologist may recommend additional tests and advise diet and lifestyle changes or medication to help lower your risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

Saxony recently announced the start of construction on new building within the Saxony community DEVELOPMENT in northeast Fishers off of Exit 210 in Noblesville and adjacent to IU Health Saxony Hospital.

After a long winter cooped up indoors, spring is the perfect time to start reimagining IMPROVEMENT your home and making upgrades that create a fresh, welcoming vibe.

These project ideas can help breathe new life into your home so you’re ready to enjoy your favorite rooms to the fullest.

Air it out: Months of closed windows and doors can make any room feel dusty and stale. As soon as temperatures allow, throw open the windows and skylights to let the fresh air chase away the remnants of winter. It’s a perfect time to launder window treatments and clean area rugs. After a few passes with a carpet cleaner, allow rugs to air-dry outdoors. If you’re considering an update to the overall decor, changing out these textiles is an easy and affordable way to create a new look. Just donate the used drapes and rugs after cleaning instead of bringing them back into the room.

Shift your outlook: When contemplating changes to a room’s aesthetic, most people focus on the floor, walls and elements like furniture and accessories. As some homeowners are discovering, there’s a whole other space waiting to be discovered. The ceiling, a fifth wall of sorts, opens up endless creative design opportunities. A skylight may be just the solution. For example, Velux room-darkening and light-filtering blinds can add a splash of color just where

you least expect it.

Paint to perfection: Over time, oncecheerful walls can grow dull. Create a livelier ambiance with a fresh coat of paint, either in the same shade or something completely new. If you’re not sure exactly where to start, tackle the project room by room. To choose the right hue, select a favorite item in the room, such as an heirloom throw blanket or a piece of wall art, and consider color shades that complement the item well.

Make what’s old new again: Sometimes a fresh perspective is as simple as rearranging a room to better fit your needs.

Over time, the furnishings can become almost an afterthought because they’ve been in place so long. Try moving things around to create new conversation groupings or to highlight a piece that has been tucked away in the shadows. An updated arrangement may inspire you to add and embellish with some simple new accessories or accent pieces for a room that only looks brand new.

Get earth smart: With all of the new growth and hues of green that abound during spring, it’s natural to be more mindful of the environment. Earth-friendly upgrades like switching out inefficient lighting or installing low-flow toilets and showerheads can make a sizable difference.

Another option for energy conservation: Look for ways to maximize natural light for heat and to brighten rooms.

editorial@youarecurrent.com Free tree saplings will again mark the Arbor Day Foundation’s annual campaign.

Those who ENVIRONMENT join the foundation this month will receive 10 white pine trees or 10 white flowering dogwood trees at no cost.

“White pine trees or white flowering dogwoods will add beauty to your home throughout the year,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Dogwoods are known for their showy spring flowers and red berries that attract songbirds during winter. White pine trees are fast-growing landscape trees that will break heavy winds, making them an ideal addition to any yard.”

The free trees are part of the nonprofit’s Trees for America campaign.

With planting instructions included, the trees will be shipped at the right time for planting, between March 1 and May 31. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.

Arbor Day Foundation members also receive a subscription to “Arbor Day,” the foundation’s bimonthly publication, and “The Tree Book,” which contains information about tree planting and care.

To become a member of the foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to TEN FREE WHITE PINE or 10 FREE DOGWOOD TREES, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410,

by March 31, or join online at arborday.org/ march.

Zionsville residents will have a chance to explore vendor opportunities for the town’s 12th annual ARBOR DAY Z’Greenfest, an Arbor Day celebration organized by Boone County Voices for Change. In the past, the Friends of Zion Nature Center and the Friends of Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library co-hosted the event.

Co-chair Kim Donovan said typically 20 to 30 exhibitors show up to the event.

“We’ve done this annually, and the plan is to invite a variety of local groups to help boost environmental awareness and build an understanding and appreciation for natural landscapes, waterways and greenways,” she said. “Environmentally conscious consumers can really have engaging conversations with those exhibitors and learn a lot more about the products or services or causes those exhibitors are passionate about.”

In the past, exhibitors have provided tree saplings to attendees to take home.

The event will be from 2 to 5 p.m. April 22 at Zionsville Christian Church, 120 N. Ninth St. Depending on weather, Donovan said up to 400 people attend the event. Live animal

demonstrations and other activities also will be available.

The event is free, but attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food or household item, which will then be donated to the Caring Center in Lebanon.

“I think people go about their everyday lives and forget about how the environment contributes to our overall well-being,” Donovan said. “It really does impact the lives of Boone County residents and everyone, and this is to bring that to the forefront. I think that’s what the Earth Day celebration really represents, giving back to nature and all things green and providing consumers news to take home and help the environment.”

Mix it up this spring Commentary by Amanda Snider Every spring we receive an influx of customers ready to tackle a decorating project.

DECORATING The most common complaint I hear from our clients is that they love the eclectic look but aren’t confident as to how to achieve it. They complain that when they try to mix different styles and patterns, it tends to look more like a hodgepodge mess from Dr. Seuss as opposed to very chic.

The reality is that it is a little more work to get this look. It’s definitely easier to walk into FurnitureLand USA and buy a 13-piece brown living room set, but that’s just not you, is it?

The new rule is there are no rules. Your home should be a reflection of your personality. The only guideline to have in the back of your mind? Scale. The truth is, you can mix almost anything if the scale is right.

It’s easy to put different patterns together, too, as long as they vary in scale. Mixing stripes, plaids, polka dots, damasks and more is a piece of cake and adds personality to your room. You also can mix different wood tones; in fact, it’s pretty boring if you

don’t. Take a cue from the pros. It’s no coincidence that you’ll see that many designers are now showcasing the kitchen island as a different color and even different material than the cabinets. Many times upper cabinets are different color/finish than lowers, and chairs are a different finish from their dining table partner.

The same is true of mixing all types of metal finishes. Gone are the days of brushed nickel on every knob, handle, hinge and fixture. Ladies, remember how freeing it was the first time you wore gold and silver jewelry...at the same time?

After all, home decor is a lot like fashion.

Neutrals don’t count as colors, either, so don’t worry about mixing those. Mixing different textures and layering them also creates visual interest. Fur pillows, shag rugs and luxurious throws are an easy way to accomplish this polished look.

Take some risks. Make your space your own and surround yourself with the things you love. It’s all part of you and your history.

Passion play ‘Behold the Lamb’ set for 27th year

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Although there are changes this year to the Hamilton County Passion Play “Behold the Lamb,” the mesPERFORMANCE sage remains the same.

“We are portraying the greatest story ever told about the greatest person that ever lived, Jesus Christ,” said Lisa Jennings, the production’s founder and direcJennings tor. “This production from the very beginning has been about one person, Jesus. It hasn’t been about one church, a certain individual or certain industry.”

“Behold the Lamb” will be held at Noblesville High School’s Performing Arts Center March 28 to March 31. The Hamilton County Passion Play, in its 27th year, will feature five performances, 7 p.m. March 28, 29, 30 and 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

March 31.

Behold the Lamb Ministries, Inc. was established as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in July 2017.

Jennings said there have been performances on Easter Sunday, but with so many other churches involved this year, they decided to cut the performances from seven to five so cast and choir members can participate in their own church services and not interfere with other churches’ services.

“The Lord has brought us Christians from all over central Indiana,” Jennings said.

There are cast and choir members from Lafayette, Galveston, Nashville and Franklin, among other places.

“There are new songs. The scenes are pretty similar to the past, and (there are) significant changes to production,” Jennings said. “We find people come to see it again year after year, and they want their guests to see what they’ve seen, so in the past I’ve only made minor changes.

It might be a new scene or new song.

This year there have been major changes

‘Murder on the Nile’ set

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Apprentice Theatre Artistic Director Lisa Williams said the company likes to dub itself as Off-Off-Off THEATER Broadway of Carmel.

The company mixes acting newcomers with veterans and those who might not have acted since high school or college.

Maureen Akins’ first stage play with a speaking role will be in Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Nile” March 22 to 31 at The Cat Theatre, 254 1st Ave. SW, Carmel.

“I have been in various productions as a dancer and choreographer. However, this role is my debut as an actress,’’ Akins said.

Akins, a Zionsville resident, portrays Kay Ridgeway Mostyn.

Fishers resident R.C. Thorne is returning to acting after a long hiatus.

“It’s been almost 27 years since I’ve done live theater,” Thorne said.

A year ago, Thorne stepped onto a film set as an extra on “Empire.”

Thorne plays Simon Mostyn.

“I think the biggest challenge is maintaining my accent,” he said. “It’s not that I lose it and go into my normal voice, but

rather my British accent will slowly morph into this bizarre Matthew McConaughey voice.”

Nikki Lynch, Noblesville, is cast as Jaqueline de Severac.

“I love playing Jackie because she is a very volatile and complex character,’’ Lynch said. “She may seem very petty at first, but the more the audience gets to know her, the more they will realize that this woman has had a lot to deal with and is only doing what she thinks is best for the one she loves.”

Lynch started acting seven years ago and has been actively performing ever since.

Honoring a Sufi saint in northern India

23

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Commentary by Don Knebel Fatehpur Sikri is one of northern India’s most visited sites. Its most popular building honors a 16th-century TRAVEL saint.

Akbar, considered the greatest ruler in India’s history because of his military prowess and religious tolerance, became the third Mughal Emperor in 1556 at age 13, with his capital in Agra. Akbar soon captured a large portion of north central India but lacked an heir. In about 1568, Akbar traveled to Sikri, a village 22 miles west of Agra, where he consulted Sheikh Salim Chishti, a Sufi Muslim mystic, in his cave.

Sheikh Salim told Akbar that he would soon have a son. A short time later, Akbar’s wife, Mariam-uz-Zamani, gave birth to a boy in Sikri, whom they named Salim, who, as Jahangir, became the fourth Mughal Emperor.

In gratitude, Akbar built a magnificent walled city around Sheikh Salim’s cave. The city, named Fatehpur Sikri, included a large mosque just inside its enormous southern gate. Akbar moved his imperial capital to Fatehpur Sikri in 1571.

After Sheikh Salim died in 1572, Akbar built a 350-foot by 440-foot mausoleum for

Sheikh Salim Chishti’s Mausoleum in Fatehpur Sikri. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Salim near the north end of the courtyard of Fatehpur Sikri’s mosque. Unlike the sandstone buildings of the rest of the city, the mausoleum was constructed of polished white marble featuring intricately carved screens on the walls. Sheikh Salim’s tomb rested under a dome in the center of the building. Later, Mughal buildings, including the Taj Mahal, drew on aspects of Salim’s mausoleum.

Akbar abandoned Fatehpur Sikri as his capital in 1585 and the entire city was soon

All about myself

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

As I write this, I’m sitting by myself. For those of you who love being alone in total silence, let me let you in GRAMMAR GUY on an introvert pro tip: Hang out in the periodical room at your local library. You’ll either be alone or with (at most) three other people reading today’s newspaper (because they were too cheap to pay for a subscription).

I enjoy being by myself. But the word “myself” gets misused more and more as a result of well-meaning people who are unknowingly over-correcting their grammar.

Here’s an example I hear often: If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, feel free to call Adam, Larry or myself. How would you write this without Adam or Larry in the sentence? You wouldn’t say “...feel free to call myself;” you’d say “...feel free to call me.” Now, if you throw back in Adam and Larry, this doesn’t change. If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, feel free to call Adam, Larry or me.”

You see, myself is a reflexive pronoun.

Others include yourself, herself, himself and itself. These words are never subjects

of a sentence; they’re always objects. If you want a good way to remember this, think about when you look down to gaze deeply into the water of a placid pond and you see your reflection in it. Your inner dialog would say something like, “I see myself in the water.” In the same way you see a reflection of yourself in the water, words like yourself are reflexive pronouns.

Other than using myself as an object, when should you use myself? Use myself when you are both the subject and the object of the same sentence: I can see myself spending more time hanging out in the periodical room. Here, you’re the object of your own action.

Also, use myself to add emphasis to a statement: I myself locked the door so no one else could get in.

I encourage you to spend some time to be by yourself; hopefully, you’ll enjoy the company.

deserted. But even today, the entire city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is remarkably well preserved. Visitors to Sheikh Salim’s tomb tie threads to the inside of the marble screens, hoping to persuade the nowfamous Sufi saint to grant them a miracle.
