Humane Society takes field trip to Navient

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County took 16 dogs on a field trip to Fishers May 18 for the organization’s second “Walk the Employees” event behind Navient’s event offices on USA Parkway.

Dozens of Navient employees spent their lunch hours walking dogs around the office complex’s scenic trails.

“It's not about walking the dogs — it's about the dogs walking the employees,” Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said. “It's our human-walking program here where we wanted to get employees out away from their desks, encourage people to exercise, get some fresh air — and what better way to do that than to come and hang out with some shelter dogs? And secretly, we hope they fall in love, and we hope some adoptions come as a result.”

Hundreds of Navient’s approximately 1,500 Fishers employees have made donations to the society with money from a fundraiser through which employees purchase tickets to be able to wear blue jeans to work benefitting the shelter’s survival fund.

“Our employees are very big on community connections,” Navient Senior Vice President Jon Kroehler said. “This is one of the organizations the employees are supporting financially, so we thought this would be a cool thing to also bring greater visibility and maybe even have some adoptions come out of it.”

“It’s really a good, fun win-win for everybody,” Stevens added. “Their employees have been really supportive of the shelter for the last, at least, three years. They get to choose the charities they want to support, and they’ve chosen us. Every year they sell tickets for people to wear jeans to work. It’s been about $10,000 or $11,000 each year for the past three years.”

Two NPD officers promoted

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Police Dept. announced April 29 the promotion of two of its officers.

Master Patrolpolice man Corey Everhart and Sgt. Andrew Reiss were promoted to sergeant and lieutenant, respectively.

On April 20, Noblesville Police Chief Kevin Jowitt petiEverhart tioned the Police Merit Commission to consider the promotions, which was approved during the commission’s April regular meeting. Both promotions went into effect April 25.

Prior to being hired by the Noblesville Police Dept., Everhart served in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. He was hired by the NPD in January 1996. Since being hired, he has been assigned to patrol duties. In addition, Sgt. Everhart also is a team leader on the Emergency Services Unit.

Reiss served 13 years with the Frankfort Police Dept. (Frankfort, Ind.) before joining NPD, to which he was hired in January 2007. Since being hired, he has been assigned to patrol duties. In addition, Reiss also is a firearms

instructor, accident reconstructionist and drugrecognition expert.

NPD said as a result of the promotions, Everhart and Reiss will remain in the Patrol Division and will be responsible for the supervisory and management functions of their assigned shifts. They will also continue their involvement in their specialized areas and units.

Advancement to the rank of Reiss sergeant and lieutenant are merit promotions within NPD. Patrol officers and detectives interested in being considered for promotion to the rank of sergeant must submit to a formal promotion process. The process is comprised of a number of components, including a written examination, oral interview, assessment exercises and a review of performance.

“The process is extremely competitive and is administered every two years in order to establish an eligibility list,” a press release from NPD stated. “A one-year probationary period is required of all officers who are promoted.

After all the necessary requirements have been satisfied, officers holding the rank of sergeant are then eligible to participate in the promotion process to become a lieutenant.”

Noble Crossing’s Amanda Thorner wins Noblesville Schools district honor

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools has finished off the school year by awarding its 2015-16 Teacher of the Year honor to Amanda Thorner, a resource special education cover story teacher at Noble Crossing Elementary.

Thorner is credited, with fourth-grade teacher Gina Mertens, for bringing a co-teaching model to Noble Crossing.

“I think when I first came here, (the special education program) wasn’t necessarily one-size-fits-all. We had several kiddos who didn’t really fit inside that box,” Thorner said. “So, trying to kind of develop different programs and implement the curriculum so that all kids could access their education appropriately, with the first couple of years, that was the big focus with meeting the needs of those kids. Now, that has shifted to that co-teach approach, doing that whole inclusion piece and getting the kids to really take on that growth mindset and help build peer relationships.”

The program focuses strongly on including students with special education needs with their peers rather than segregating them.

“The great thing about it is, the kids, they just see each other as kids, and so some of the time they’re with Mrs. Mertens, some of the time they’re with me. Sometimes we’re in the classroom, and sometimes we (go to the library.) It really breaks those boundaries and those walls down for the kids,” Thorner said.

The co-teaching program just completed its second year.

“It’s just something I had done some research on to further develop our program,” Thorner said. “I remember going to Mark Booth, our director of special ed, and saying that we’d really like to try this … He really helped guide and facilitate that

process. We’re always trying to stretch our boundaries and our thinking … When I was a cadet teacher (at Tri-Central High School), I was always kind of given the kiddos that needed that little extra push, so that’s where I started to develop that passion (for special education).”

On May 11, Thorner received, as a surprise, her teacher of the year award among her peers at a Noble Crossing faculty meeting.

“I was completely surprised. I did not expect it at all, and obviously, I’m completely humbled,” she said.

A committee that works across the district’s 10 schools picks the teacher of the year of the group nominated by their peers. The committee makes their selection based off the following criteria: student-centered, inquiry-based Miller Shift classroom instruction; performance aligned with the district’s mission and vision and role-model behavior that other educations look to emulate.

Lives: Moved to Noblesville in 2004 after getting hired at Noblesville Schools. Grew up in Sharpsville (in Tipton County).

Education: Graduated from Tri-Central High School (Sharpsville) in 1998. Went to Ball State University, graduating in 2003 with a double major in elementary education and special education.

mediate school, I came here.”

Job experience: First teaching job was at Taylor Primary Elementary School (Kokomo). “I worked for a year there. I just basically walked out of student teaching and walked straight into a job that was there,” Thorner said. “I started at Noblesville Intermediate School when there was such a thing. I was there for, I think, five years. When Mr. (Pat) Haney (Noble Crossing principal) left the inter-

Family: Husband Chris, married 12 years. Daughter Isla, 7.

Last year, the district brought the award back after nearly 30 years, in which Bethany Robinson, a high school music teacher, was honored. Noble Crossing’s Principal Pat Haney nominated Thorner, who was chosen of the district’s approximately 650 teachers.

Thorner said she hopes to continue to expand the special education inclusion and co-teach programs.

“Next year, we’re looking at how we can appropriate more staff members to continue to expand and grow that program,” Thorner said. “Right now, I’m responsible for fourth- and fifthgrade students. Next year, I’ll be expanding to third grade.”

Thorner was honored June 1 at the Noblesville Education Foundation’s annual Miller Gold Awards teacher recognition ceremony and dinner reception. She will now go on to represent Noblesville Schools at the state Teacher of the Year competition.

Noblesville Schools identified the following points as Amanda Thorner’s accomplishments during her time at Noble Crossing Elementary: • Creating unique opportunities for students far below grade level that have significantly reduced their learning deficits.

• Serving as a district leader on special education issues.

• Mastering the use of student data to best address needs and monitor progress.

• Exhibiting a passion for building and maintaining relationships with students and their parents.

• Launching co-teaching at Noblesville Schools (with fellow Noble Crossing teacher Gina Mertens), furthering the collaboration between special education and general education instruction.

• Driving her own professional development by constantly researching and implementing new, successful teaching strategies.

Road workers deserve better Several times a week, we audibly laugh at some of the news releases that sail across the transom here. And what is really incredible is that many come from government agencies about things (a) you already should know about, (b) at which you would roll your eyes, or (c) both. Last week, we received one from INDOT about drivers’ responsibilities in construction zones. We read the list, but we didn’t laugh. It made us think mostly about the commonsensical items presented in the missive that never should have had to be listed. But we, in general, comprise a people that seems to not care much about the details. As long as we’re able to drive between the orange barrels with our knees while cradling cell phones on our shoulders in an effort to keep hands free to open Vitamin Water, it’s all good. It also brought to mind a recent weekday afternoon, when one of us was returning from an engagement at IUPUI, and, there was a construction zone. One of the workers was wildly flailing his arms in an attempt to get motorists to slow their speeds. Sadly, it didn’t work. Over in Illinois, where there are construction zones, so, too, are there signs that read, “My mommy works here.” Some might ask, “Aw, isn’t that cute?” They would be wrong and missing the larger message. The highway workers are there because they’re making improvements to make your motoring life better, and they deserve the same courtesies as pedestrians. Fear not, you’ll get to your destination in one piece. It’s everyone’s business to make sure the workers do, too.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sunk costs and lost causes Commentary by Terry Anker It seems that along with age is delivered a diminished interest in fighting the uphill battle to stay personally up-to-date. Where once we coveted each and every new style, color and cut, we now, if the suit still fits and well-serves its intended purpose, find an off-trend width of lapel or shade of blue as insufficient to compel replacement. Have we all become collectively less stylish? Do we care not about our presentation, or are we stuck in some past decade, comfortable with the standards of that now expired era?

But if the sofa/curtain/countertop/suit/ whatever is still in good working order, why would we feel a need to replace it? Once we made the decision to acquire the stylish dusty-rose toaster oven, does it make sense to buy another simply because it is skinned in stainless steel? Basic economics teaches us that our sunk cost is only recovered via use. We pay $100 for shoes to walk 100 miles. We then only walk 10 miles. We could

argue we have $90 left in them. Unless sold to someone else for $90 (or more), we’ve forfeited the remainder of the worth. Once purchased, the kicks should be used until consumed. Even so, how do we discount for style and convenience? Is there a case where the first 10 miles is worth $100 and the rest nothing?

Some people buy a new house every few years. They want new style, new appliances and new landscaping. Likewise, clothes, worn-once, find a new home through charity (or worse, the landfill). And, leftovers don’t have a home in the freezer but, instead, the garbage. Should we live in a world where sunk costs are a lost cause? If so, how can we hope to measure the right time for the exchange? Maybe it’s time to go shopping.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.

– Nelson Mandela

Summer could not have come soon enough here at Chez Wilson. The last week of May in particular was a humor striking testament to how the stress of the school year can wreak havoc.

Yesterday, for example, I showed up at work with a hole in my pants, directly over my right buttock. Luckily I had a sweater, and I was able to make it through without incident, though I felt stupid walking around in a warm building with extra clothing tied around my waste. What am I? A middleschooler surprised by Aunt Flo? At lunch, I received a text from my husband telling me that the high school had just called: our oldest was in the midst of missing a final. Remember those college nightmares where your alarm fails and you wake up two hours into your psychology exam? It was happening! He made it with time to complete the test and claims he just got his schedule mixed up, but I know part of the problem is the craziness at our house.

To wit, my youngest threw a veritable conniption fit last night because we couldn’t find her math book. After searching high and low, all I could come up with was a PRE bible from 2007. “I feel like I’ve seen it recently … but where?” I’m sure it’s under a bed or in a closet, but it could also be fetching a fine price at Goodwill. The real issue is that we have yet to recover from our kitchen remodel when, in preparation for demo, I stashed or donated cabinet contents, small appliances and all manner of chachkies. A missing pre-algebra textbook is the least of my problems. We still have unemptied coolers from Derby!

And then there’s last week’s “Andrew Incident” when we left said kid at French tutoring with a dead phone. For two hours!

When I eventually remembered, we found Andrew roadside, about a half-mile into a three-mile walk home. Parents of the year?

So thank you Jesus for summer vacation.

The Wilsons sure need it. Peace out.

READERS ’ V I EWS USPS in 4th year of balanced budget Editor, The Postal Service just released another successful quarter’s financial figures, reporting a $576 million operating profit for the second quarter (January to March) of Fiscal Year 2016.

This brings the total operating profit for FY 2016, to date, up to $1.833 billion, all without a dime of taxpayer money.

The Postal Service funds itself by selling stamps and other products.

This continues what is now the fourth straight year of operating in the black, with $4.4 billion in operating profits since the start of FY 2013. In the most recent quarter, package volume was up 11.4 percent, and package revenue was up 16.2 percent over the same quarter last year, and overall revenue was up 4.7 percent.

Lawmakers should strengthen the net-

works while addressing the onerous pre-funding of future retiree health benefits imposed by a lame-duck Congress in 2006. This burden accounts for the red ink, and addressing it would strengthen the Postal Service moving forward.

No other federal agency or private company is burdened with this congressional mandate.

The time is now for lawmakers to eliminate the prefunding of retiree healthcare, which currently has $50 billion stored away, enough to cover premiums for decades to come and to switch to a pay-as-you-go method of funding. Then, the Postal Service can continue to provide Americans and their businesses with the world’s most affordable delivery service.

Reader submits poem for spring Editor, Recently while looking through my grandparents’ old papers and things, I found this sweet little story about spring. I believe it was written by Pauline Eikenberry, a friend (and artist) of my grandmother, Lois Crook. They were members of a women’s social club in Flora, Ind. and both have since passed away. I like reading the retro articles in the Indy Star, and I thought you may want to put this in a spring issue of Current. Thank you.

The Miracle of Spring Just as they have done through the years on the same day in March, the swallows winged their long, mysterious and tiring return journey back to their home in the old walls of Capastrano. Family washings that

have dried in basements and dark dryers will once again wave their banners on the backyard lines in the warm and sun kissed breeze. Was there ever a fragrance half as rewarding or sweet?

Under the hypnotic spell of spring’s return, we soon forget the sound of the crunch of snow and ice under our feet. The full blast of that strong northwestern that made us button up our overcoats. The dead brown grass that slept beneath that carpet of white.

Why, new green blades are appearing among the brown, and tiny crocus, daffodils and tulips have started to miraculously appear.

How wonderful is this promise of another springtime.

Cindy Smith Noblesville

Home inventory down 14.2 percent Commentary by Jim Litten April was the 52nd consecutive month of increasing year-to-date home sale prices, growing an average 1.9 percent real estate in central Indiana. While prices grew, home inventory stayed tight, as available homes were down 14.2 percent from this time last year.

In Hamilton County, the rise in prices and decrease in inventory were more relaxed than the 13-county region. F.C. Tucker data revealed prices rose 0.2 percent while inventory tightened by 6.6 percent. Pended sales in April were lower than the same time last year, as pended sales in the county fell 10 percent compared to April 2015. However, year-to-date sales were relatively flat, down just 0.1 percent.

• In Noblesville, the average year-to-date home sales price increased 1.5 percent to $233,193.

• Inventory moved at a slightly slower pace in Noblesville in April 2016. Overall, homes sold in 77 days – six more days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options

available to them. Last month, 274 homes were available for sale – 89 fewer homes compared to April 2015.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Noblesville. In April 2016, 101 homes sold – a decline of eight homes compared to April 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; three were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 18 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 29 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 44 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and six were priced below $99,999.

The rate at which the average sale price is increasing is strong, but it’s also showing signs of tapering. From 2013 to 2015, prices grew rapidly, but now, they’re beginning to level off, similar to the beginning of 2012.

Labor, delivery for first-timers Commentary by Ashley Perkins, DO, IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – Eagle Creek If you’re pregnant for the first time, you may be learning about childbirth from friends and relatives. However, motherhood as you prepare for labor and delivery, there are likely some things you don’t know or haven’t yet been told. Here is some information I often share with first-time expectant moms: • Dietary restrictions during labor – Women are usually limited to a clear liquid diet while in labor. If you’re hungry, or between meals, when contractions begin, consider eating a small, healthy snack before leaving for the hospital.

Once you arrive, you’ll likely be offered ice chips and other clear liquids until delivery.

• Pushing prep – Pushing is hard work, and it can go on for a long time, especially with a first pregnancy. In fact, stage two of childbirth, often referred to as the pushing stage, can last up to three hours if you’ve had an epidural or two hours without one. Staying fit during pregnancy can help improve your stamina and boost

your physical strength for this part of delivery.

• Your doctor and the delivery – It’s likely your doctor will not be at the hospital while you’re in labor. The labor and delivery care team will care for you and keep your doctor informed of your condition and progress. Rest assured; your doctor will arrive in plenty of time to deliver your baby.

• Labor pain relief – While there are a variety of ways to manage labor pains, some tips for women include taking a warm shower to ease lower back pain, bouncing on a birthing ball, listening to soothing music and deep breathing. Massage from a partner also may help. Some hospitals offer nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” to help women relax during labor.

Talk to your doctor about other methods for managing labor pain.

Ashley Perkins, DO, specializes in obstetrics and gynecology.

She is a guest columnist from IU Health Physicians Women’s Health – Eagle Creek. She can be reached by calling the office at 317-329-7022. For more health information, subscribe to Strength in You at iuhealth. org/StrengthInYou.

Yeast overgrowth – Intestinal yeast overgrowth is common and is generally caused by either frequent or long-term antibiotic use.

When the body is overrun by yeast, you will frequently be gassy and feel bloated. You will also find that you crave sugar or simple carbs, such as pasta or bread, because the yeast feeds on those. Other symptoms of yeast overgrowth are fatigue, brain fog, fungal skin infections and vaginal yeast infections. Try removing sugar and simple carbs from your diet for a time and rebalance your natural gut flora with probiotics supplements.

Dangers of soymilk – Soy is turning out to be less healthy than it was promised to be. Here are several reasons to avoid soymilk: 1. It contains natural toxins called anti-nutrients that can alter women’s monthly cycles 2. It’s genetically modified – 98 percent of all soy is GMO 3. It increases the body’s need for Vitamin D and B12 4. It contains aluminum, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s 5. It contains hemagglutinin, which can cause blood clots.

Soul band to play at Nickel Plate

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com Get ready to boogie. Bad Brad and the Sipsey Slims are part of the Fishers Summer Concert Series this year and music getting the audience to dance is their goal.

“What we want to accomplish is to take people into a state of boogie that they can’t sit still, they have to cut loose,” Brad Guin, bandleader, said.

After being introduced to music at age 12, Guin has mastered the flute, saxophone, horn and auxiliary percussion. He is a sought-after musician for touring groups and studio recording sessions, but he prioritizes his band above all else.

“The Slims have been my top choice for what I do simply because it’s my most artistic outlet,” Guin said.

Bad Brad and the Sipsey Slims formed five years ago in Muscle Shoals, Ala. Aside from Guin, there are six other members that play horn, bass, keys, guitar and drums.

The Slims produce funky, retro soul originals with infectious grooves. Guin said the band’s music is influenced by all genres, but they try to create something soulful and danceable.

The band, Bad Brad and the Sipsey Slims, will perform June 10 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. (Submitted photo by Lorri Markum)

“We just do what we want to, and it works,” Guin said. “I want to take (the band) as far as anybody will let us take it.”

That includes heading out of their home state to perform. While recording at FAME Studios in Alabama, the band met photographer Lorri Markum and other fans from Indiana who pushed them to play in Fishers.

“We are more than excited to get to come up there and do this,” Guin said. “We hope we turn it into something that happens regularly.”

Bad Brad and the Sipsey Slims will perform at 9 p.m. June 10 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. For more on the band, visit bradguin.com.

‘Little Women’ musical set to inspire audiences

By Desiree Williams editorial@youarecurrent.com This summer, audiences get to travel with the March sisters through Civil War-era America. “Little theater Women,” the musical, opens at 8 p.m. June 3 at The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville, 10690 Greenfield Ave. Based on the well-known novel by Louisa May Alcott, Maudlin “Little Women” follows the March sisters, specifically Jo, as she embarks on her journey as a writer. Jo pushes to get her stories published, but struggles to find any interest from publishers. Following advice from a friend, Jo pens the story of her family and their experience during the Civil War. “I hope the audience feels empowered,” said Elissa Maudlin, who plays the role of Beth March. “It’s about someone overcoming everything in their life to get their dream, and that’s important even today.”

The musical first premiered on Broadway in 2005, followed by a U.S. tour. The Belfry’s rendition of the Broadway musical includes 11 cast members, with some actors playing dual roles.

“The talent that we’ve packed into this cast is the greatest that I’ve seen, it just wows me,” said John Parks Whitaker, who portrays Laurie.

Whitaker said they are expecting a large audience due Whitaker to the fame of the novel, and the fact that every other show throughout this season has sold out. The theater already scheduled two extra Thursday performances.

“A whole generation grew up with this book,” Maudlin said. “They know it, and they want to see how it’s done on stage.”

The musical runs from June 3 to June 19.

Tickets are $12 for children and $18 for adults.

Polkaboy to open concert series

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com There is one constant about the Cool Creek Concert Series.

“This is our 22nd year, and music we’re proud of the fact that in all that time, we never raised the ticket prices,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist for the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Dept. “They’ve always been and hopefully will always be $5.

Children 12 and under are (admitted) free.” The concerts, at 7 p.m. on Fridays, are held at Cool Creek Park in Carmel.

There are two crowd favorites, Polkaboy and The Flying Toasters, that traditionally pack the music pavilion area, Nicholls said.

“Polkaboy has a very local following in the Central Indiana area,” he said. “In fact, Polkaboy will launch the concert series (June 10) because we like to launch on a high note and create momentum for the balance of the series. The Flying Toasters are very popular with a lot of local clubs. They’ve played for us three of the past four years. We try to provide the audience what they like, and we know they like Polkaboy and The Flying Toasters. The other three bands we try to rotate to create diversity.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Dramatic deck upgrade Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a large deck for outdoor living space that overlooks the beautiful yard. This upgrade allows the homeowners to entertain at the convenience of the main level of their home.

1. A large, curved deck was built to replace the dated wood staircase.

2. The new deck was built with standard lumber for the structure and finished with Trex decking and railing system, which is essentially maintenance-free — perfect for busy families and pets.

3. The sculpted, black, metal balusters and accent lighting add unique details to the railing system.

4. Overall, the addition of this new deck increases the interest of the back façade of their home, while improving the functionality and quality of their outdoor living culture.

Before Background info: This 2009 Carmel home in the Village of Towne Pointe subdivision needed a larger, improved outdoor space the homeowners could enjoy, and entertain family and friends.

Before problems: The only existing outdoor space the homeowners had was a concrete patio. A small wood staircase allowed access to the patio below, but there was no convenient outdoor living space at the main level. The potential of the large backyard allowed for an upgrade.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

Dispatches Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join the group for A Practical Guide to Beautiful Design at 10:30 a.m. June 21 at the Indiana Design Center. Courtney Casteel of Courtney Casteel Design will present.

RSVP via e-mail to concierge@IndianaDesignCenter.com.

Prolong flower life – Most tap water contains minerals that make it alkaline, which is hard on cut flower stems. This means cut flowers in a vase do not get the hydration they need. To prevent this, lower the pH of the water by adding one part of lemon–lime soda such as Sprite or 7UP) to three parts of water in your vase.

The citric acid in the soda helps lower the pH, and the sugar in the soda gives the flowers an energy boost.

Coconut oil for hair – In addition to its many health benefits, coconut oil can work wonders for your hair. Used as a conditioner, it softens, shines and strengthens hair.

It can also reduce dandruff and help prevent gray hair. It can also be used to kill lice. Coat the hair in coconut oil and wrap a towel around the head to suffocate the lice. Use a lice comb to remove them and wash hair. Repeat as needed.

Protect knees when gardening – Gardening can be hard on the knees. Here’s an easy way to add some knee protection. Take an old pair of jeans and sew a patch on each knee, leaving the top side of the patch open, as though you’ve sewn a pocket on each knee. Then, in each pocket, place a sponge, or a substantial shoulder pad, or a piece of foam rubber. Before washing, remove the pad. Replace as needed.

Mosquito repellent – Lavender oil is a natural mosquito repellent. When you are going to be outside, dab the oil on your pulse points like perfume. Use sparingly because undiluted oil can irritate the skin. You can mix the oil with a carrier oil, such as olive oil to dilute it. Lemon-eucalyptus oil is also a natural repellent you could try.

Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen Harbor. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The little mermaid of Copenhagen Commentary by Don Knebel Copenhagen’s iconic statue of the Little Mermaid is a must see for visitors. It has also become an inviting target for travel vandals and protestors.

In 1819, Hans Christian Andersen, then 14, moved to Copenhagen, hoping to become an actor. When that did not work out, he began writing, publishing his first story at age 17.

Initially focusing on fairy tales he had heard as a child, Andersen soon began writing the original stories now famous around the world, including “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Snow Queen” and “The Little Mermaid.”

In 1909, the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery was so charmed by a Copenhagen ballet based on “The Little Mermaid,” a story about a mermaid who leaves the sea in search of a human soul, that he commissioned a statue of a mermaid using the ballerina as the model. When the ballerina refused to pose nude, the sculptor’s wife became the model for the body. In 1913, the four-foot-tall bronze statue was perched on a

granite boulder on the waterfront in Copenhagen’s harbor, where it has become the symbol of the city, attracting a million admirers every year, both by land and by sea.

The Little Mermaid has been attacked repeatedly. She has lost her head twice and her arm once. She has been splashed or sprayed with paint at least five times, sometimes by groups who see the statue as degrading to women. On two occasions, the Little Mermaid has been dressed in Muslim clothes, once to protest Turkey’s effort to join the European Union. In 2003, the entire statue was blown into the water by explosives. The obvious deterrent of moving the statue further from shore has been rejected. A persistent rumor that the original statue is hidden away somewhere has never been substantiated.

All events are open to general public.
