Emergency Response Team reaches 25 years

By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Special Emergency Response Team is marking its 25th year as the PUBLIC SAFETY Hamilton County Jail’s frontline defense against unruly and dangerous inmates.

“SERT serves as an added safety measure inside the jail, just as SWAT operates for law enforcement,” said Matt Hyde, SERT comHyde mander. “In corrections, we are not immune to the dangers humans can do to others, the exposure to harmful drugs, handmade weapons, fights and hostage taking. It is not uncommon for a facility to Carey have a tactical response team to handle such unusual occurrences.”

SERT started primarily as a cell extraction team, according to Jail Capt. Josh Carey.

“Over time, the team began taking on cell block shakedowns once a month, which involves the team searching every inch of a single cell block, including each cell,” Carey said. “We search for weapons, drugs, intel,

gang affiliations as well as any security risk or maintenance issue. The team then expanded to high-risk, high-profile inmate transports, transporting very high-risk inmates to prison or court.

“High-risk, high-profile inmates can include high-ranking gang members, inmates who are escape risks, inmates with a lot of media coverage, etc.”

That led to the team taking on high-risk, high-profile courtroom security. The team also trains in custody/hostage rescue. In 2020, Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush tasked SERT with starting and leading the Sheriff’s Office’s first Mobile Field Force Team, which is tasked with handling large crowds and riot operations within the county.

A selection process is conducted once a year. To be invited, candidates must have worked one year from their Field Training signoff date and received a letter of recommendation. The selection process includes a basic physical training assessment, a written test and a formal interview with team leadership.

All SERT members work regular 12-hour shifts. The team of 15 is split into two smaller teams. Each team has a team leader and one commander and is on call throughout the year to ensure quick response time.

“SERT trains four hours every month, covering hand-to-hand combat, legal considerations, riot operations, less lethal applica-

tion, cell extractions, high-risk, high-profile transports, courthouse operations, lethal application, hostage rescue, and anything we find is necessary to train,” Hyde said.

SERT also trains other jail officers. It conducted its first academy in 2005. Since the first class, hundreds of jail officers have been trained by Hamilton County SERT. “Some of the officers were on established teams, and a few others were working on starting a team,” Carey said. “The course is open to patrol and corrections officers, even if they are not a team. We have trained with teams from Madison, Tipton, Hendricks, Morgan and Johnson counties. It is common for facilities to have some sort of tactical team within the facility due to the dangers.”

A few examples of recent SERT responses include: • In 2020, a large-scale fight in a cell block where weapons were involved. SERT evacuated the block and conducted a mass search and found more sharp weapons.

• Twelve high-risk transports in 2020 • In 2021, SERT has been called in for drugs, three cell extractions, six highrisk transports, and two SERT Only Inmates – which means only SERT can give or take from that inmate, and only SERT opens the cell door. Such inmates are typically the jail’s most dangerous.

Plew makes best of senior year for Fishers volleyball team

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This was senior outside hitter Carsen Plew’s first year starting for the Fishers High School volleyball team, but she made quite an impact.

“Carsen is a mentally tough player who fights hard for every point,” Tigers coach Steven Peek said. “In the back row, she is scrappy and moves well, and she has numerous shots and skills in the front row that make her difficult to prepare for and defend against. Fishers has been blessed by Carsen’s poise, leadership and determination.”

The 5-foot-7 Plew was second on the team with 210 kills for the Tigers, who finished 22-6. Fishers lost a Class 4A regional championship match to McCutcheon Oct. 23.

Junior Ava Vickers led Fishers with 214 kills.

In the two regional matches against Fort Wayne Carroll and McCutcheon, Plew delivered 18 kills, 17 digs and five blocks. She said she improved throughout the season.

“I feel like I made the most improvement in September this season,” Plew said. “I feel

Fishers graduated eight seniors from the 2020 team.

“There was a large group of talent ahead of (Plew) and the others from this season,” Peek said. “We actually graduated five of

Plew said the Tigers might have taken some teams by surprise.

“I think other people didn’t expect us to

come out as strong this season after graduating so many key players, but I feel we did a great job proving them wrong,” Plew said.

“I think all of us having the same mindset of competing our hardest and continuing to get better each day, but also making sure we had fun while doing it, helped us succeed this season.”

Plew had only 13 kills in limited action as a junior. She also dressed varsity as a sophomore.

“But I only played a handful of points each of those seasons,” said Plew, who played club volleyball for Munciana Indy.

Plew started playing volleyball and basketball in fourth grade.

“I decided to focus on volleyball in eighth grade,” Plew said.

Plew said volleyball has always been her favorite sport to play.

“This made it easy to pick which sport I wanted to focus on,” she said. “I liked the constant speed of the game and how something interesting is always happening.”

Plew plans to attend Indiana University and major in psychology and minor in biology. She would like to play on an intramural volleyball team at IU.

Cervical cancer survivor stresses importance of routine health screenings Patient describes relationship formed with Ascension St. Vincent care teams as a ‘blessing’ After a visit to the emergency room due to uncontrollable bleeding, Elaine Krieg scheduled a Pap exam with her OB-GYN. When the exam detected abnormal cells, her doctor did a cervical biopsy. She said she remembers crying and pulling over to the side of the road when her doctor called with her results.

“I got the call on a Friday night and my doctor told me that I had cervical cancer,” said Elaine. “I was shocked.”

Elaine received chemotherapy and radiation, and has been in remission for two years. She said she has “been blessed” by the relationships she has formed with her care teams at Ascension St. Vincent.

“I feel like I have been surrounded by the best medical team possible,” said Elaine. “My doctors and nurses are amazing, and they listen to all of my questions and concerns.”

Elaine admits she went several years without having a Pap exam, but now she encourages all women to stay up to date on the screenings their doctor recommends.

Michael Callahan, MD, is Elaine’s gynecologic oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent. He said all women are at risk for cervical cancer, but it’s seen most often in women over age 30.

“A Pap exam could save your life. It may feel awkward at times, but it’s better to feel awkward for 10 minutes than go through what I went through.”

Elaine Krieg, cervical cancer survivor treated at Ascension St. Vincent

“The human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and various strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer,” said Dr. Callahan. “Getting screened regularly is important, because it may help find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”

At Ascension St. Vincent, doctors are ready to listen to understand you and your needs as a woman. Gynecologists are available to help determine the screenings that are right for you.

Current recommendations for screenings by age include: • 20s - Women should begin getting regular Pap exams.

• 30s and 40s - Women should begin getting HPV tests in addition to regular Pap exams.

• 50 and older - Women should continue getting regular screenings as recommended by their doctor.

With locations throughout Indiana, Ascension St. Vincent makes getting routine screenings as convenient as possible.

And if more advanced care is needed, you are connected to a team of specialists ready to help. We are maintaining strict precautions to keep you safe in our care.

Noblesville resident named executive director for Carmel Symphony Orchestra

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Music has been a part of Cara Pittenger’s life since age 2, so it’s only fitting that the Noblesville resident is the new executive director of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra.

Pittenger, 37, began her role in August.

When she was 2, Pittenger started playing the piano. She switched to percussion when she reached middle school.

“I started piano at 2. My mom was a piano teacher, and I wouldn’t let her teach me,” Pettinger said. “Now I have my daughter, so I understand why I wouldn’t let my mom teach me because (my daughter) fights me on playing piano as well. I started percussion in middle school. I was told girls shouldn’t be percussionists. I got to hit things for fun.”

Pittenger began taking percussion lessons from Erwin Mueller, a professor at Ball State University, when she was in high school. She drove more than an hour each way every Wednesday to attend the onehour lessons.

“He was the best teacher,” Pittenger said.

Pittenger went on to study music education at Ball State. She studied under Mueller when she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in percussion performance.

Mueller said Pittenger had “unusual talent.”

“He’s still a big part of my life today,” Pittenger said. “He’s the reason I am where I am today.”

Mueller said Pittenger was an excellent student.

“She’s a very talented musician. She really knows music. She doesn’t just know music, she’s a performer,” Mueller said. “She’s just an outstanding woman and player and person, just a lovely person. Whatever she undertakes, it’ll be highly organized. She can get things done without causing a lot of frustration in people. She’s a wonderful, wonderful woman. She’s highly talented in everything she does.”

Pittenger taught at public schools for six years before enlisting in the U.S. Army, where she played in the 38th Infantry Division Band for six years. She met her husband, Rod Pittenger, in the band.

“I was going to do active-duty military

but decided to join the National Guard,” Pittenger said. “My husband and I didn’t know each other before, but then we went to the same basic training, the same (U.S. Army) School of Music and started dating at the School of Music in Virginia.”

Pittenger previously served as a personnel manager for the Muncie Symphony Orchestra and the Anderson Symphony Orchestra. She joined the CSO as a music librarian in 2019.

“I got the music ready for the orchestra, put in all the bowings, distributed parts and everything,” she said.

In the summer of 2019, Pittenger became the personnel manager for the CSO. The personnel manager hires the musicians and prepares substitute musicians. In August 2020, she became the CSO’s director of operations.

“Then our executive director left in October 2020, so I was the only one here in the office while we performed all year, and then I became executive director in August 2021,” she said.

Pittenger also taught private lessons for percussion but doesn’t do it anymore. In her role as executive director, much of her work revolves around fundraising.

“I’m on the administrative side of the orchestra helping raise money and making sure the operations go smoothly for every concert,” Pittenger said.

Pittenger’s favorite instrument to play is the marimba, a percussion instrument consisting of a set of wooden bars struck with yarn-wrapped or rubber mallets to produce musical tones. The marimba is similar to the xylophone. She also still plays piano.

Pittenger has two children. Her daughter, Rylee, is 8, and her son, Caden, is 7. Rylee plays piano and marimba.

Pittenger said she plays in other orchestras when she can, typically with the Muncie Symphony Orchestra.

THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC Playing and teaching music are passions for Noblesville resident Cara Pittenger, the new executive director of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra.

“Music education is the most important thing to me. Music is a universal language,” Pittenger said.

“You can speak any language, but music sounds the same to everyone.

It’s shown to have higher test scores if you participate in music. I think it’s an outlet for a lot of kids. I know when I was a child and I would get frustrated, I would go and play piano and it would calm me down. There’s a lot of discipline in music, especially if you’re in marching band and orchestra, of course. There’s so much history to learn.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Bad words?

Throwing shade at DST

Commentary by Terry Anker Provocative American comedian George Carlin had a bit in 1972 roughly entitled the “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” Quite similar, another jokester, Lenny Bruce, claimed in 1965 that he was arrested for uttering some of those words on stage. As it turned out, Carlin would also be jailed for it shortly after a summer of ’72 performance in Milwaukee.

Today, most of these words are found in school libraries, and anyone with an internet connection can watch the video, even in the browser’s safest search mode. Protests and resisting parent groups complained when 1993 ABC police soap opera “NYPD” Blue started using the vernacular, and a fair amount of limited nudity, to help itself stand out from the other freely televised fair. But by now, broadcast cartoons like “Family Guy” run throughout the day and carry language and themes that make Carlin’s jokes irrelevant to modern audiences.

In a 2004 interview, Carlin argued, in part, “These words have no power … we give them great power over us.” Would he be pleased these years later that we have found our way to a freer society?

Do we take ourselves a little less seriously? Do we tolerate those who might make fun of our conventions?

Canadian funnyman Mike Ward was held to account for a Human Rights violation because of jokes he told about a complainant believed damaged his dignity. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court decided that Canadians do, in fact, have a sense of humor. Alas, the dissenting four didn’t get the joke. They demanded that a “message” be sent to others that humor will put you in jail, or the poorhouse. In the U.S., comedian Dave Chappelle is under fire for sharing his comedic take on modern life. Did he, like Carlin, know he’d be canceled, or maybe arrested, for speaking?

Don’t waste time on stuff that doesn’t actually make things better.”

Dear daylight saving time, I didn’t want to do this through a letter, but honestly, I wasn’t sure how else to get in touch with you, and, well, it’s probably better that we aren’t faceto-face. I’m not sure I could rein in my emotions right now.

D, you know I love you. But I also hate you, and I just can’t go on like this anymore. We’re done.

Look, how many times have we repeated this same cycle of abuse? You disappear every winter to Hawaii or Arizona, and then show up with little to no warning in March. Then it’s weeks of discombobulation with absolutely zero communication from you. I can’t sleep, I wake too early, I forget the clock in my car and then panic that I’m an hour late. And sure, I eventually adjust and tell myself you didn’t mean it, only to go through the whole awful thing again six months later. Isn’t that the very definition of insanity? Repeatedly duplicating a process and expecting a different result?

And for what? A few extra minutes of summer sun? Come on! After 15 years of us, how can you still not understand my geriatric schedule? I can’t stay awake until 10 p.m., even if it’s bright as day outside. If watching “The Handmaid’s Tale” has taught me anything about resisting an oppressive social regime, it’s that I can fight back. I have the power to start an anti-chronokinetic movement that declares “No more!” and make it look cinematically fabulous along the way.

Bottom line? I can’t be the 20th-century farmer that you deserve. So, you and me? We’re done.

Danielle P.S., peace out.

Losing sleep over naptime Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Something curious is happening to me. I’m not napping as much as I used to. For most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod off within five minutes.

But a couple of weeks back, I was awake through an entire Colts game. That particular game, even the Colts couldn’t say that.

When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite.

“I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” one of my students said. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.”

Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, at red lights, while waiting for my wife to put on makeup, as the dog was relieving himself, at fast-food drive-up windows, in checkout lines — pretty much anywhere.

As a result of grabbing the occasional 40 winks, I missed some events I probably should have stayed awake for. Here are the top three: 1. My 70th birthday party (I wish they had screamed “Surprise!” louder) 2. Paris

3. The end of my 2005 interview with Mitch Daniels My wife, Mary Ellen, has never understood the value of a nap. I think women are afraid they’re going to miss something.

Like a sale, or a beautiful sunset, or the plot of a movie. Men don’t care about stuff like that. On the rare occasion Mary Ellen has fallen asleep during the day, she would awaken with an apology. “I don’t know what happened. I must be coming down with something!” I always had a different attitude when awakening from a short slumber: “Man, that was a great nap. I’m getting better at this all the time.”

My recent inability to nap came up during my last annual physical, but there was some confusion in the conversation.

“How are you sleeping?” Dr. Coss asked.

“It’s been rough,” I told him. “Sometimes,

EXCEPTIONAL CARE. SIMPLY DELIVERED.

I’m awake for 8-10 hours in a row.”

“Ten hours?” he gasped. “We need to do some testing. How long has this been going on?”

“Several months.”

“Do you just toss and turn in bed?”

“Well, I’m not in bed. That’s the problem.

I’m out driving the car, watching the news, cooking. Sometimes I’m in the garage operating heavy machinery.”

“This is troubling, Dick. So, you don’t sleep all night?”

“No, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.”

Dr. Coss was very helpful once I straightened out the misunderstanding. He said men experience changes in their bodily rhythms as they mature.

“I want you to go home this afternoon and really think about that,” he said. I told him I’d have to sleep on it. Which meant, of course, it would have to wait until that night.

What to know: Medicare Annual Election Period Commentary by Bob Adams

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

LIC# CO51300008

We’re honored you continue to put your trust in our team.

Millions of senior adults began shuffling their Medicare health insurance programs for the Medicare Annual RETIREMENT Election Period that opened Oct. 15. Meaning, if you’d like to change your Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage plans) or Part D (prescription drug plans), you can do so. And regardless of your health, the insurance companies cannot turn you away.

If you are a Medicare recipient, here are a few things you should know: The most common question I hear is, “Can I change my supplement during the AEP?” A Medicare Supplement is your own private insurance that covers some or all of what original Medicare (Parts A & B) does not. Medicare Parts A & B pay first, then your supplement kicks in. If you are able to health qualify, you can change your supplement anytime.

That is to say you will have to answer health questions and the insurance company can either accept or deny you coverage. AEP is your opportunity to change Medicare Parts C and D and is not a guarantee that you can change your Medicare Supplement.

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, by now you have gotten an Annual Notice of Coverage from your insurance company with the changes for 2022. Medicare plans shift slightly every year. However, for 2022, you have even more options and more benefits. There are several new plans in central Indiana, including Hamilton County, and they are offering some awesome ancillary benefits. Most Medicare Advantage plans offer ancillary items like dental, vision, hearing aids, fitness clubs and over-the-counter benefits. Several plans now even help your Part B premium, or healthy groceries, utilities, etc. There are indeed some exciting new things for 2022, but please seek help from a local agent who can guide you to a plan that works best for you, someone who has a full tool belt of options and will check networks and the formulary.

If you have a Medicare Supplement, then you should have a Part D or prescription drug plan. You should have gotten an ANOC for this, also. All drug plans make changes, but generally speaking, their changes are minor. Most of the time, a plan’s premium will change, up or down, but typically not a lot. However, in 2022, there’s been some

significant changes. This may be a good year for you to consult your local agent.

The Annual Election Period is the best time to review your current plan with your agent. If you see things in your ANOC that you don’t understand or that looks significantly different, seek help. And for goodness’ sake, ignore that flood of mail, the emails, the barrage of calls and the TV commercial that promise you the moon. Work with an independent agent who works with a lot of different plan options and is seeking to do what is best for you. That telemarketer has one job, sign you up for their plan.

The last thing, AEP runs through Dec. 7, so don’t put this off. If you are already in a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D plan, whatever plan you have elected, whether a current plan or a new one, after Dec. 7, this is the plan that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2022.

Couple puts on dancing shoes for roles in ‘Holiday Inn’ at Footlite Musicals

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Lauren and Grant Russel met during a community theater production of “High School Musical.”

THEATER “I played Sharpay and he played Zeke,” Lauren said.

“We held hands on stage and the rest is history.”

The two have been together 12 years and have been married for eight years.

The Geist residents are appearing together in Irving Berlin’s “Holiday Inn” from Nov. 19 to Dec. 12 at Footlite Musicals at Hedback Theater, 1847 N. Alabama St., Indianapolis.

At the time they met, Lauren attended Lawrence North High School and Grant attended Lutheran High School.

The last time they performed together was in “Shrek the Musical” at Footlite in 2014. Lauren had a lead role as Fiona and Grant played a guard.

Grant is starting his seventh year as a firefighter for the Carmel Fire Dept.

“It’s been a long time since I performed,” he said. “With the fire department schedule, it’s very difficult to do anything like this unless I take vacation or trade shifts.”

Grant, 30, portrayed Don Lockwood in “Singin’ in the Rain” at Footlite in March 2019.

“I had to really manipulate my schedule to do that,” Grant said.

Lauren, a Lawrence city councilor, performed in the title role of Cinderella at Footlite in late 2019.

In recent years, the couple juggled shows separately to take care of their three sons, Owen, 5, Landon, 4, and Henry, 8 months.

“Due to the (COVID-19) pandemic, our families bound together and said they wanted to see us do something positive,” Lauren said. “Our families really encouraged us to do it.”

Lauren, 31, said the director worked with them to make the schedules fit.

schedule (through rehearsals),” Grant said.

“It won’t be until the show opens that I will request (to) trade dates.”

Lauren said they enjoy the community of people at Footlite.

“They are a great group of people and professional directors,” Lauren said. “There is a lot of opportunity to showcase ourselves. They do a lot of really awesome shows that we believe in. Grant grew up dancing and he’s done this a lot longer than I have. He’s performed since he was 5 years old. He learned how to tap and would travel around tap dancing. I started doing theater in high school.”

The musical is based on the 1942 movie “Holiday Inn,” which features “White Christmas,” among other Berlin songs.

Grant plays the role of Ted Hanover, who was played by Fred Astaire in the movie.

“Holiday Inn” is not performed as frequently as other holiday movies.

“That’s one reason why I wanted to do

it,” Grant said.

Lauren plays Linda Mason, who was the love interest of Jim Hardy, played by Bing Crosby in the movie.

“Grant and I do a lot of ballroom dancing and it’s a lot of fun,” Lauren said. “We’ve enjoyed so much to reconnect that way.

I never tapped with him, so I have a lot of catch-up to do. He’s really good. There’s a number in the show where he tap dances with fireworks, so a fireman tap dances with fireworks.”

Grant said rehearsals have become almost like a date night.

“It’s difficult to find time to get away with the wife and share time with the boys (with) my schedule,” Grant said.

Grant said he and “Holiday Inn” choreographer Linda Rees learned how to tap dance from the same instructor. Rees is the owner and artistic director of Dance Magic Performing Arts Center in Noblesville.

The Wine Market and Table

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1110 Shelby St., Indianapolis What to get: Chicken and waffles Price: $16 Anna’s take: The Wine Market was previously a restaurant and wine bar in Fountain Square that recently rebranded as The Wine Market and Table with an expanded menu. It also moved into a new building only a few blocks away. The restaurant has a brunch and dinner menu, and my favorite item was chicken and waffles. The cornflake and chilecrusted chicken is fried and served on top of a Belgian waffle drizzled with hot honey maple syrup and topped with fresh blueberries, banana and Chantilly cream. Other popular brunch items are steak and eggs ($19), eggs Benedict ($14), and Simply B & G, or biscuits and gravy, ($11).

Blueprint for Improvement: A poolside oasis in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene This 2012 home is in Carmel’s Bella Terra neighborhood. The owners wanted to create a resort-like setting with a new pool and sunroom.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • A master design for the backyard included a new pool, decking, patio and a new home addition, which features a sunroom, bathroom and an additional bay for the garage.

• The spacious sunroom has room for seating and dining; the custom entertainment console includes two beverage refrigerators.

• The bathroom features cubbies to hold towels or guests’ belongings and a built-in storage bench.

• Shiplap walls and nautical-inspired décor complete the transformation.

Commentary by Don Knebel Encompassing 560 acres, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, is the world’s largest sports TRAVEL venue and hosts the world’s largest single-day sporting event. Named a National Historic Landmark in 1987, it was and remains important to the Indianapolis economy.

Carl Fisher and James Allison owned an Indianapolis company producing automobile headlights. During a trip to Europe, Fisher concluded that European automobiles were better than their American counterparts and decided to build a facility to encourage and test American innovations. In 1909, with financial assistance from Allison and others, he built a 2 1/2-mile racetrack 5 miles northwest of Indianapolis. During races that year, the crushed stone surface proved dangerous and racing was suspended. Racing resumed after the track was paved with 3.2 million Indiana bricks. On Memorial Day in 1911, 80,000 spectators watched Ray Harroun win the first 500-mile race, piloting the Marmon Wasp, assembled in Indianapolis, at an average speed of 74.602 mph. The race attracted other automobile manufacturers to Indianapolis, including Cole, Duesenberg and Stutz.

In 1927, Fisher and Allison sold the facility to World War I flying ace Eddy Rickenbacker.

In 1945, after not being used during World War II, Rickenbacker sold it to Tony Hulman, a Terre Haute businessman. During the next 75 years, the Hulman family made enormous improvements to the facility, including building the “Pagoda,” a 10-story control tower and media center evoking early designs. A corporation owned by Roger Penske, a legend in auto racing, purchased the

property in 2020.

Except for a yard of bricks at the start/ finish line, the track is now covered with asphalt but is still “The Brickyard.” The Speedway Museum, operated by a nonprofit foundation, displays about 75 cars that have participated in the Indianapolis 500, including the Marmon Wasp, and offers tours of the track and its facilities.
