Commissioners abolish county’s board of voter registration

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Commissioners, at their Aug. 14 meeting, voted unanimously to abolish the Hamilton government County Board of Voter Registration.

The board, made up of one Democrat, Pat Toschlog, and one Republican, Bethany Sheller, is now under the authority and jurisdiction of Hamilton County Clerk Tammy Baitz.

The commissioners’ discussion took place during the regular public meeting Aug. 14.

The public had no notice of the decision because the discussion and approval were not listed as individual agenda items on the Aug. 14 meeting agenda.

Commissioner Steve Dillinger told Current the decision was made purely for personnel management.

“The inspiration actually came probably four or five years ago, maybe six,” Dillinger said. “We had an issue with (a board of voter registration) employee. They weren’t going by the personnel policy. Those individuals work for the county (party) chairman, not the county, even though we pay them and provide (benefits). They can do whatever they want to do because they work for the party chairman, Republican or Democrat.

That made it very unfair to our 800-some other employees.”

In Indiana, county boards of voter registration were created in 2004 after the Indiana Legislature deemed them necessary.

Now, after an amendment to the law, counties have the option to abolish them.

Dillinger said he found out a month ago the

law had changed and that with a unanimous vote from the county’s executive governing body, those Board of Voter Registration employees could go back to being managed by the clerk’s office, as they had prior to 2004.

Upon learning of the legislative change, Dillinger said he approached Hamilton County Elections Officer and State Rep. Kathy Richardson to confirm and subsequently asked county attorney Mike Howard to draft an ordinance to be presented at the Aug. 14 meeting. In regards to the discussion and vote on the ordinance not being made public, Dillinger said the item fell under a portion of the agenda, listed only as “attorney.”

Board members are chosen from the recommendation of each county’s party chair.

In Hamilton County, on the Democratic side, that’s Joe Weingarten, and on the Republican side, it’s Laura Campbell.

Weingarten and Campbell have said they had no knowledge of the commissioners’ decision until after it had been made.

Weingarten said the action is one more step in advancing the agenda of those looking to suppress voters, “removing voter registration from a bi-partisan environment to one that is political.”

“The board basically helps people get registered to vote and takes care of any problems. There’s a customer service element that’s involved with a system like that versus a bureaucratic system,” Weingarten told Current. “The clerk has said nothing will change, but that’s for now. What about in a year or two years? What worries me the most is that a new clerk could start a process of voter intimidation and efforts to limit certain voters in a partisan way.”

West Nile mosquitoes found in four more spots in Noblesville

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville announced Aug. 14 places in the city where mosquitoes testing positive for West environment Nile virus have been found.

Laird outing draws 300+ news@currentinwestfield.com The 14th annual Jake Laird Golf Outing was Aug. 11 at Pebble Brook Golf Course in Noblesville. Laird fundraiser was an Indianapolis Police Dept. officer for four years when he responded to a call on South Dietz Street in Indianapolis on Aug. 18, 2004. Police had received several calls of gunshots at approximately 1:45 a.m. In 16 minutes, four police officers were injured and Laird was killed by an assailant firing an SKS assault rifle in the street. It was later discovered the assailant had first shot and killed his mother before going into the street and terrorizing the neighborhood.

Following the loss of their son, Mike and Debbie Laird made a decision to not become additional victims of the tragedy and created a nonprofit agency dedicated to providing financial support for officers, police and fire, injured in the line of duty who are experiencing financial hardships.

In addition, the nonprofit provides funding for special projects and equipment for police and fire agencies and has donated more than $800,000 throughout Indiana.

Each August, the Lairds hold a golf outing to celebrate Jake’s life and raise money for The Jake Laird Fund.

“This is a way for us to keep Jake’s memory alive and to serve others,” Mike said.

Eighty-two foursomes enjoyed a day of golf, dinner and an auction. There was a moment of silence observed for IMPD Deputy Chief James Waters and Southport Lt. Aaron Allen during the opening ceremonies.

Anyone interested in additional information or who wants to make a donation can contact Mike Laird at mlarsky4@aol.com or visit thejakelairdmemorialtourney.org.

ob s e r v a tion Leading the pack

Pass the tequila

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

For decades, television brought us a shared culture. Mostly, we watched the same programs on the same channels at the same time. Each Tuesday morning, we could gather around the water cooler, or even more likely the Mr. Coffee, to exchange a few laughs about the antics of Chrissy and her roommates Jack and Janet – not to mention that silly Mr. Furley. Just as surely, the next day we’d gather again and, this time, the topic would be who shot J.R. Even the commercials lent themselves to our common understanding.

They taught that every group had one kid who was fearless. When mom brought home a cereal that was supposed to be, ugh, good for us, we could always call on Mikey because, as we all knew, “he would try anything.” Then as Mikey clearly loved the new breakfast treat, we would understand that the food is good and that we should be more willing to experience the new and improved. By the time the other slackers were pouring a bowl, Mikey had moved on to his second.

But, is there a downside to being out in front? If we laud those bold enough to seek the first-mover advantage, why don’t more of us seek it? The truth, one could suppose, is that there are a lot of “new” cereals that are terrible, awful concoctions unfit for human consumption. And that for every happy Mikey, there are scores of others working for days to rid themselves of the terrible aftertaste of a cereal experiment gone wrong. And if there are times when we are best served by letting, even encouraging, someone else to lead the pack, how do we discern? Do we forfeit potential advantage in avoiding risk or assume risk to gain potential advantage?

In a few short hours, Doo and I will be depositing our firstborn on the steps of his college dormitory. We’ll wish humor him well, dole out some hugs and kisses, and of course remind him to make good choices and do his best. The question is, will we drive away with tears in our eyes, mourning the end of our son’s childhood, or will we stop at the nearest bar and celebrate with tequila shots? I’m betting on the latter. Why? Historical precedence.

Though we’ve never sent a kid to college, we have experienced four “first days” of kindergarten, four fifth-grade graduations and countless other academic milestones.

And not once, with the exception of a fluke Chick-fil-A drive-thru incident last May, have I boo-hooed. For many Augusts, in fact, I guzzled mimosas with my cul-de-sac peeps to welcome back that beautiful yellow bus and toast our children as they climbed aboard. Going off to school was a magical moment for me when I was a stay-at-home mom, and I thanked Baby Jesus every day that my kids were old enough to leave me for six to eight hours.

I don’t think I will feel very different this afternoon. Our 18-year-old is ready to leave us, and quite frankly, we’re ready for him to go. We love him, but he’s in that weird split-personality place where he’s both an adult and a teenager, at times independent and quite needy at others. It’s time for him to spread his wings and either fly or fall.

Luckily for us, he’s chosen to take his first flight 90 minutes away.

Nope, I don’t predict any tears today.

Peace out.

We are the products of immigration

Editor, Keeping in mind the constantly changing national news – by the day or even the hour – I would like to put forth some thoughts based upon my own ideological frame of reference: 1) Unless you are a Native American, you are the descendant of immigrants.

When Europeans first arrived in North America (including Central and South America), they brought with them disease, pestilence and genocide. They sought only riches. Europeans seeking religious freedom arrived much later.

2) Those European immigrants were not vetted in any way; many who accompanied the Conquistadors were outlaws and criminals.

3) The land that we call home here was invaded with impunity. There was no consideration or conscience in the way that those peoples who lived here, worked

the land here, raised their families here and died here were treated by those who felt they had the right to seize what did not belong to them.

I bring up these items as I think we should all just take a moment and pause, realizing that we, too, are the products of immigration. We are members of the human race, the most important race of all.

My great-great grandmother was a Native American who married a Union soldier.

Although I am 1/16th Native American, I am 15/16ths Scots and German (my Irishheritage husband says that is a formidable combination!), so I speak primarily as an immigrant descendant.

I have a suggestion for the so-called “white nationalists.” Maybe they should take an ancestry DNA test; they might be surprised and somewhat humbled when they receive their results.

Phyllis Hunter and Sandy Spatta understand the experience of having loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. support The Noblesville residents serve as co-facilitators of the Hamilton County Alzheimer’s Association Support, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the First United Methodist Church in Noblesville.

The meetings typically last 90 minutes and are designed for family members of Alzheimer’s Hunter patients.

Spatta has been involved as co-facilitator after retiring from teaching in Noblesville Schools in 2004.

“We are both involved because we have fathers that have been affected, so we had a passion for helping others,” Spatta said.

Spatta’s father, George Thaubald, died in 2003. He was living in Noblesville after moving to be closer to Spatta.

“He probably lived with it for at least eight years,” Spatta said.

Hunter’s father, Sam Gill, was never officially diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but had dementia before he died.

Hunter said there are always refreshments and plenty of hugs at the meetings.

“We sit in a circle and encourage them to talk about what is in their hearts,” Hunter said. “One of the most meaningful comments by one of the young women is, ‘I’ve only been here 15 minutes, and I feel better already.’

That’s why we do we what we do. This is an enormous undertaking for caregivers. It can go on for 20 years, and people can try desperately to keep loved Spatta ones at home as long as they can and sometimes longer than they should. Almost invariably the person winds up in a facility. It’s just too hard to do at home.”

Hunter said they always ask caregivers, “What is making you crazy?”

“There are times you feel you are losing your mind trying to deal with it,” Hunter said. “We always need humor because no one needs humor more than these folks.”

Spatta said caregivers often are watch-

“First, you watch them die mentally, and then physically, and it’s just a long, awful process,” Spatta said. “So having a support group helps. It’s just amazing how these people help each other. We have a few people who have lost their loved ones and still come back for the support group to help others because of the wealth of knowledge they have and what they’ve dealt with.”

Dance contest to benefit Meals on Wheels

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is hoping some smooth dance moves will translate into some giving back needed funds.

The nonprofit’s Dancing With Our Stars will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 7 at the 502 East Event Centre, Carmel. St. Vincent and Medxcel are the presenting sponsors for the group’s largest fundraiser. Beth Gehlhausen, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the goal this year is to raise $65,000, well above last year’s total of $25,000.

“That’s a huge leap, but we had some things happen that impacted participants being able to attend due to two of our dancers not being able to continue on due to some health issues,” Gehlhausen said.

During the past year, Gehlhausen said Meals on Wheels served approximately 166 people a month, which equals to more than 4,400 meals that go through Hamilton County.

The fundraiser will benefit the Sponsor a Senior program, which helps seniors that need financial assistance to pay for the meals.

“That program saw a tremendous growth

From left, 2016 Dance With Our Stars winners, Jennifer Nagle and Scott Shook, Judges’ Choice Award; Amy White and Ed Godby-Schwab, Honorable Mention; and Diana Miller and Matt Carr, People’s Choice Award (Submitted photo)

between 2015 and 2016 to the tune of about 112 percent,” Gehlhausen said.

Gehlhausen said the nonprofit budgeted $34,000 to pay for those meals, which actually cost nearly $71,000.

“Last year, for example, a little over 50 percent of the people we served fully paid for their meals,” Gehlhausen said. “The other 50 percent were on our Sponsor a Senior program or had funding through CICOA (Central Indiana Council on Aging). Our concern is we are going to see more people that have need. We’re concerned that if this growth continues we might not be able to serve everyone all at once, and we might

have to go to a waiting list. Our board is adamant about not wanting to do that. We have to raise more money to keep with that level of growth. We want them to be able to continue to live in their homes and get hot meals Monday through Friday. Obviously, the cost of staying in your own home is much cheaper than going into a facility.”

Meals on Wheels delivers Monday through Friday.

A donation of $35 pays for someone to get two meals a day (Monday through Friday) and $145 for two meals per day for a month.
