County stresses preparedness kits

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Following a bulletin posted by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security Jan. 2, Hamilton County Emergency Management is encouraging residents to assemble a ready EMERGENCY kit, specifically in preparation for an Iranian cybersecurity attack that could cut power.

Emergency Management Executive Director Shane Booker said the bulletin claimed no direct threat had been made, but he stressed the importance of preparedness.

“The Dept. of Homeland Security updated the National Terrorism Advisory System and issued a bulletin indicating concerns over Booker the possibility of cyber attacks,” Booker said.

“We always are trying to promote community preparedness because the more prepared people are, the more resilient Hamilton County can be.”

The Dept. of Homeland Security posted the bulletin after the U.S. killed Iranian terrorist organization commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike while he was in Iraq. Iranian leadership and other affiliated extremist organizations publicly stated their intention to retaliate against the U.S. Booker said to be prepared, families should assemble a ready kit, stay informed and make a family plan. The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security bulletin stated previous homeland-based plots have included scouting and planning against infrastructure targets and cyber-enabled attacks against a range of U.S.- based targets, and that an attack may come with little or no warning.

“If for some reason, but it’s unlikely, Iran were to make some kind of cybersecurity attack and we were without power for days, it is important for people to have a kit and include things like enough water for each person for at least three days,” Booker said. “We recommend people have nonperishable food like (canned) soup or other things in the event they didn’t have power.”

Booker said even if an attack doesn’t occur, a ready kit can allow citizens to be prepared for other disasters.

“It’s important for people to be ready, and it doesn’t have to be cyber attacks. We saw a major water main break between Westfield and Noblesville recently where some people completely lost water and others had hardly any water pressure,” Booker said. “(Being prepared) makes being in an uncomfortable situation a little more comfortable.”

Resolve to protect your data Commentary by Feras Mash So, here we are in a new decade.

Many of us have resolutions to keep and a new quality of life to TECH create, so in keeping with the theme, here are some thoughts on the new year’s tech resolutions: • Be mindful of what you click.

We’re all tempted to click on those links on websites or within emails, articles and especially search results, but how can you be assured those links are not malicious and end up causing serious problems such as identity theft and data breaches? If you’re not sure about that link, don’t click on it. If you’re on a web page or in a Google search results listing, always hover your mouse over the link before you click on it to see if the URL matches what the search result shows so you’ll be directed to the correct site. I also recom-

mend always accessing secure sites that start with HTTPS. Those guarantee the user proper access to valid websites.

• Password maintenance is key.

We always recommend changing critical passwords on a regular basis, every 90 days or so, using complex words that are not easily guessed, such as using upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. These include passwords for banking, email, credit cards, shopping sites, education and any personal sites that you deem important to you. We also highly recommend turning on two-factor authentication if the sites allow it will not easily be hacked.

Joe Schroeder, center, has an opportunity to play rugby in the Olympics. (Submitted photo)

Schroeder gets shot at Olympics

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The opportunity to play rugby in the Olympics seemed far-fetched to Joe Schroeder.

After a standout career RUGBY at Cathedral High School, Schroeder attended Trine University, which didn’t have a rugby team.

“I thought my rugby days might have to be over,” said Schroeder, who grew up in Westfield. “I remember going to a game in Ohio and thinking, ‘I’ve got to get back into this.’ I decided to join the men’s club (in Columbus, Ohio) and picked it up from there.

I didn’t know it was going to take me to here, which is crazy.”

The 6-foot-5 Schroeder has been training at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., the past two years. The USA Olympics Rugby Sevens team will be determined later this year. Schroeder will likely compete with 25-plus other players for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. The Olympics start July 24 in Tokyo. Rugby Sevens became an Olympic sport in 2016.

“I got noticed, which was crazy. I was at a random training and one of the (USA) assistant coaches showed up and said, ‘Let’s give this guy a shot,’” Schroeder said. “I came out

for a couple months to test out the team. They offered me full time and I said, ‘I got to take this opportunity.’

I didn’t know if I had a chance at the Olympics, but now here I am playing decently well. I’ll be able to give it a good shot.”

Schroeder, 26, recently finished his master’s degree in civil engineering from Ohio University and works parttime as a project engineer with waste water design.

“My main focus is rugby right now,” Schroeder said.

Schroeder, who receives a stipend for being on the team, recently returned from tournaments in Dubai and Cape Town, South Africa. For World Rugby Sevens Series tours, Schroeder said there are 12 players, plus an alternate.

Rugby Union, which is played in high school and college, is 15-on-15.

Cathedral won the state rugby title four years ago and won a national championship his senior year in 2012.

Schroeder, who played football at Cathedral, attended Trine University for engineering. He was a Trine cheerleader for three years.

“I had played one season of sevens before I got here, but I’ve come to enjoy and love the game,” he said. “It’s such a fast version of the game.”

Documenting a life WHS teacher writes second book on George Taliaferro

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Westfield High School English teacher Dawn Knight wrote the first book on George Taliaferro, she knew she had just COVER STORY scratched the surface about the former Indiana University football star and NFL pioneer.

Taliaferro, who had been Knight’s Introduction to Social Work professor at Indiana University and was the first black man to be drafted by the NFL in 1949, was pleased with the book “Taliaferro: Breaking Barriers,” which was published in 2008.

“He was really excited about it and happy with it, and at the first book signing he told me a story about meeting Nat King Cole. That wasn’t in the book, and I realized how bad I was at this,” said Knight, laughing. “Then, he kept telling me more stories over the next decade, including meeting Malcom X and threatening Muhammad Ali with a golf club in a funny way. I’ve been saving up stories for another decade and wanted to rewrite it so I could get those stories in.”

When Knight planned to rewrite the book, she realized other athletes’ stories paralleled Taliaferro’s, who is known as the Jackie Robinson of the NFL. Taliaferro also was the first black man to play quarterback in the NFL. “I wanted to tell (how) their stories intertwined with his, although he was very special in that he was the first in a lot of ways in the NFL, but there were a lot of athletes using their platforms as athletes to fight for social justice, so I realized I wanted to tell their stories, too,” Knight said.

Knight went on to write “Race and Football in America,” which was published in July 2019. She spent a lot of time with Taliaferro, who died in October 2018 at age 91. Knight said whenever she visited Taliaferro, she usually had a tape recorder and always took notes. Typically, she interviewed him in the car while they traveled to a book signing.

“I also did a lot of fact-checking,” she said. “When he told me Nat King Cole serenaded him and his wife at the Brown Derby Hotel in Los Angeles when

they were in town for the Pro Bowl, I looked it up, and (his stories) always checked out.”

Knight said she had to do plenty of research outside of her interviews for many reasons.

“It was set during a time period when I wasn’t around, and it was about football, and even though I love football and know a lot about it, I didn’t play and I’m not black,” Knight said. “It was a very intensive research process.”

Knight tracked down a former water boy for the Baltimore Colts, one of the teams Taliaferro played for, and asked him what it was like to be at the games.

“I wanted to find someone who had been there,” Knight said. “Everything (Taliaferro) said I verified and looked into it so I could get it from an objective point of view and not just write it down.”

“I wanted to tell (how) their stories intertwined with his, although he was very special in that he was the first in a lot of ways in the NFL, but there were a lot of athletes using their platforms as athletes to fight for social justice, so I realized I wanted to tell their stories, too.”

— Dawn Knight

Knight said the first Taliaferro book took approximately a decade to write. It took another decade to research and write “Race and Football in America.”

“It was a 20-year process, off and on,” she said.

“The first one I was excited about for that reason but also immediately knew it wasn’t done well. It was done well, and it was thoroughly researched, but it wasn’t everything I wanted it to be, probably because he started telling me stories that weren’t in there right away and I just wanted to do it better.

“He saw one of the final drafts of the second one, and he loved the first one. He was so excited about the first one (that) I know he would’ve loved this one.”

“Race and Football in America” is available at Turn the Page, 149 N. Walnut St., Barnes & Noble, 14790 Greyhound Plaza, and on Amazon. Prices range from $20 to $25.

MEETING TALIAFERRO Westfield High School English teacher Dawn Knight first met George Taliaferro when she was a student at Indiana University. Taliaferro was Knight’s Introduction to Social Work professor.

“My roommate told me I had to take (the class), and I didn’t want to because it was an 8 a.m. class, but she insisted,” Knight said. “I took it and immediately understood why she wanted me to take it. He was a mentor to me as a teacher.”

After Knight graduated from IU, she and Taliaferro stayed in touch, which inspired Knight to write two books about him. She saw him several times a year until he died in October 2018.

Rank priorities

Act now

Commentary by Terry Anker With the beginning of the new year, many of us have resolved to get our priorities in order. With a fresh start, we imagine it time to get fit, organized and ranked. We make lists, join gyms and plan for the year. Good. It is important to take the occasional account of our journey. Are we where we want to be? Or, at least, are we moving in the right direction?

But from our lists of good intentions, too often we believe that we can do them all – even that we should. We overbook, overcommit and overall fail to pull it off. It is not that each item doesn’t matter, it is that we don’t weigh them by rank importance. Losing a few pounds may be more critical than reading “The Complete Works of Shakespeare,” or vice versa. It is easy with two choices, not so with 20.

This week, Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police President Rick Snyder reported that his city saw the shootings of 33 people and 14 stabbings, with seven killed, including two infants, in the weeks between Christmas and New Year’s. He cited jail issues and accountability for juveniles while exclaiming “violence is rapidly surging” in our capital.

Last week, Indianapolis’s elected city council members announced their intention to focus on climate change and their own pay increases. Good priorities, perhaps. But what of violent crime? Do they merit the same weight on our list?

What is the balance?

Editor, Congratulations! We have just finished the hottest decade ever.

And it is going to get hotter!

The threat of the climate crisis could not be clearer.

The voices of our best scientists warn of cascading droughts, heat waves, hurricanes and more growing in frequency and ferocity if we don’t slash fossil fuel emissions.

As a baby boomer, I am concerned about the world that we are leaving for our children and you should be also.

Look at a few of the recent headlines: • The Amazon (the lungs of the planet) is burning at an unprecedented rate.

• Sea levels are on the rise.

• Crop yields are plummeting as we go from extreme rain to extreme heat.

If we leave our children a world where ongoing climate catastrophe is the new normal, it won’t be because we didn’t know. It will be because we didn’t act (The Climate Reality Project). Get educated and act now so you can help fix the issues before it is too late.

James Henderson, Westfield

All ‘Jacked’ up Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My entire life, people have been saying, “Dick, you don’t know Jack.”

Actually, I do. In fact, I HUMOR know dozens of Jacks.

Apparently, screenwriters and producers find the name Jack to be rugged sounding. As I was growing up, most of the Jacks I knew of possessed questionable masculinity. One, in particular, couldn’t even navigate climbing a hill and ended up with a head injury, all in an effort to hydrate himself and his girlfriend, Jill.

Another Jack jumped over a candlestick, which isn’t that difficult. Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating curds and whey. Or was that Little Miss Muffet? Whatever. Jack Sprat ate no fat. Not much of a man, if you ask me.

TV series titles are Jack-heavy these days. Here are some that Mary Ellen and I watch: “Jack Taylor” — ­ This boozy, former Irish police guard, now a private detective, never shaves, he smokes incessantly, he drinks heavily and has a way (the wrong way) with women.

“Jack Reacher”­— Played by Tom Cruise, he’s a loner who seldom smiles, and he has no credit card or driver’s license. Sounds like me after I leave my wallet at a restaurant.

“Jack Ryan” ­— John Krasinski plays this character, a desk jockey at the CIA who is pressured into the real world of spying. He is just as virile as the next guy — as long as I’m not the next guy.

“Jack Irish”­— What an odd name for an Australian. He’s a burned-out lawyer looking for a freelance gig as a private eye. For more details about his personality, just read about Jack Taylor above. They could be the same person.

These characters named Jack all project a certain image. You don’t see many tough guys with the name Allen or Jerry or Bob. If there are any, I am sure I’ll get emails correcting the record.

Mary Ellen has a “thing” for many of these Jacks. When I expressed a tinge of insecurity, she explained that the guys in these shows were men she could never have brought home to meet her mother. Her mother wanted Mary Ellen to bring home a nonsmoking, sober, clean-shaven guy without a shred of sex appeal. Mission accomplished.

Here are a few more well-known Jacks: Nicholson, Nicklaus, Lemmon, Black, Palance, Lord and Parr. There are some tough guys in that list, but a few don’t fit the bill. Hey, maybe I’ll do a column on Bills next week.

On a somewhat unrelated note, people often ask me who I believe is the greatest comedian of all time. It was Mr. Benny.

And now I’m done Jacking around.

U.S. files complaint against Community Health Network The U.S. Dept. of Justice filed a complaint against Community Health Network Jan. 8 for an alleged violation of the Stark Law, in VIOLATION which CHN allegedly submitted false claims the Medicare program.

The Stark Law prohibits a hospital from billing Medicare for services referred by a physician with whom the hospital has an improper financial relationship that does not meet a statutory or regulatory exception.

According to a press release from the Dept. of Justice, the government’s complaint alleges that “Community had employment relationships with a number of physicians that did not meet any Stark Law exception because the compensation Community paid to the physicians was well above fair market value and because Com-

munity conditioned paying bonuses on physicians achieving a minimum target of referral revenues to the hospital.”

The complaint alleges that Community received referrals from those physicians in violation of the Stark Law and submitted claims to Medicare knowing that the claims for those referred services were not eligible for payment.

“Improper financial relationships between hospitals and physicians corrupt clinical decision-making, threaten patient care, and ultimately drive up Medicare costs,” stated Jody Hunt, assistant attorney general of the Dept. of Justice’s Civil Division. “We are committed to eliminating these improper inducements and thereby ensuring the Medicare program remains fiscally sound.”

Community officials did not respond to a request for comment.

IRT role resonates with Woronicz

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com At this stage of his life, Henry Woronicz sees some similarities with his character’s role.

PLAY Woronicz is appearing in Indiana Repertory Theatre’s production of “Morning After Grace,” which runs Jan. 14 through Feb. 9. The comedy involves three Florida Woronicz retirement community neighbors who find their lives intertwined.

“Angus is an interesting character for me to play at this time of my life, as being just a few years younger than he is, I am beginning to face a number of the same fears confronting him in this play,” Woronicz said. “Though I am happy to say, not in the same way, but having recently turned 65, by now I have had my share of lost loved ones, triumphs and disappointments and can certainly feel the generational shift that’s happening in the world, and in my own life as well as dealing with friends of a similar age grappling with the very same issues — mortality, personal relevance, the end of lifelong relationships, family and work — the list goes on.

“It’s always a joy for actors, I feel, when the issues or themes of a particular play resonate strongly in their own lives. Seems to make the ‘acting’ of it that much easier. Angus is somewhat close to home in that regard.”

Woronicz, who has lived in Bloomington since 2005, enjoys being part of character-driven small plays.

Throughout much of his career, he has appeared in large, classical plays, particularly the works of William Shakespeare.

Woronicz said the contrast likely

IRT campaign offers challenge gift editorial@youarecurrent.com

makes small plays appealing to him at this time stage of his career.

Woronicz said IRT is easily his favorite place to work because he has been given the opportunity to play some extraordinary roles.

“Two that jump out at me right off are the character Marc Rothko in the play ‘Red,’ and the Poet in ‘An Iliad,’’’ he said. “These two roles were incredibly demanding, particularly the Poet, as ‘An Iliad’ is a solo performance about the Trojan War, and they each ask a great deal of an actor performing these roles.

The stakes are very high in such productions, so of course the sense of challenge and, hopefully, satisfaction can be that much greater.

“That is the mountain every actor wishes to climb, and I have been particularly blessed in that regard over my career. These two roles have become personal high points in my life and work, and I am so very grateful to the IRT in providing me such wonderful opportunities.”

Woronicz spent several years in Los Angeles, appearing in several

iconic TV shows such as “Cheers,” “Seinfeld,” “Frasier” and “Law & Order.” All the experiences were unique, but one moment in “Cheers” sticks out.

“I had one scene with Ted Danson late in the episode, and as sitcoms are rehearsed in order, like a one-act play over the first four days of rehearsal and camera blocking, before filming in front of a live audience on Day 5, I had a lot of opportunity to sit and listen as the series regulars, Ted, Kelsey Grammer, John Ratzenberger, Rhea Perlman, etc., rehearsed their scenes,” Woronicz said. “Standing with Rhea Perlman at one rehearsal, I was struck by how the writers and producers, who attend each session with their rewrites, could laugh so heartily at each scene, even though we would read the scenes multiple times. I finally asked Rhea if this was normal. She turned to me and said, ‘Oh, you can always tell who wrote which joke by who is laughing the hardest.’”

For more, visit irtlive.com.

In February 2019, the Indiana Repertory Theatre publicly announced its $18.5 million Front and Center capital campaign to raise funds for the IRT’s immediate needs and sustainability.

The IRT has raised more than $17.9 million. To help lift the IRT to surpass the goal, honorary campaign co-chairs Sarah and John Lechleiter have presented a challenge gift. If the campaign reaches $19 million, the Lechleiters will donate an additional $1 million, topping the campaign at $20 million.

Campaign contributions will allow the IRT to further invest in the community by using professional theater to make Indianapolis a more vibrant place for cultural expression, economic vitality and an informed, engaged citizenry, officials said.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays to the hilt, but now it’s time to atone for those excesses with PALLADIUM some New Year’s resolutions.

Don’t be afraid! You can tackle a host of physical and mental health issues with — as they say on the internet — this one simple trick: Increase your intake of the performing arts.

Among many examples, an analysis by Harvard researchers found that music can “enhance human health and performance” and that attendance at cultural events has “a surprisingly powerful effect on mortality.”

“In all,” they concluded, “people who attended concerts and plays ‘rarely or never’ were 1.57 times more likely to die during the study period than people who attended frequently. Occasional concertgoers were in between.”

OK, that’s a bit dark. To state such

findings in a sunnier way, experts at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center reported that music can make us healthier by: • Reducing stress and anxiety • Decreasing pain • Improving immune functioning • Aiding memory Although the mechanisms are not entirely clear from a scientific standpoint, some of these beneficial effects could be explained by the fact that music can boost the brain’s production of the hormone dopamine.

To be clear, I’m not saying you shouldn’t quit smoking or go to the gym more often. But if you resolve to experience more performing arts in this new year, I’d be happy to offer some suggestions.

Movable Feast

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 5143 E. 65th St., Indianapolis What to get: Avocado toast Price: $8 Anna’s take: Movable Feast is the definition of convenience. Besides inside dining, the restuarant offers food to go and packaged and frozen options. Hours vary throughout the week. Brunch hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

One brunch item is avocado toast ($8), which is refreshing and delicious.

It’s a smashed avocado on a toasted baguette adorned with heirloom tomatoes and pickled onions. It’s served with a side of mixed greens tossed in a lemon vinaigrette. My favorite thing about this dish — other than the affordability — is that the baguette is thick enough to not become soggy

from the mashed avocado. If you frequently order avocado toast, you know the problem. Add a poached egg ($2) or bacon ($2).

I also tried Eggs Benedict ($8), with Béarnaise sauce made from scratch.

Other items I tried, which are available during all operating hours, were the soup and half-sandwich pairing ($7), with a warming lemon, chicken and basmati rice soup and a homemade dill chicken salad.

I absolutely loved the picnic-esque feel of the place. Many of the homemade sides are sold in half-pound or one-pound quantities in a basket called a Picnic Pack. Movable Feast has gone out of its way to provide convenience by offering ready-made foods and also allowing customers at Bier Brewery down the street to order food at the brewery, which is then delivered. Movable Feast is temporarily closed because the owners are on vacation. It will reopen Jan. 22. For more, visit feast317.com.

Behind bars: Mama Ochre Whiskey Get it at Rail, Westfield Editor’s note: This item was served during a special brunch and Rail may not always have it available.

However, Rail soon will begin offering monthly Sunday brunches featuring similar specialty cocktails.

Ingredients: 2 oz. whiskey, 2 oz. chai tea, 1.5 oz. coconut milk, .25 oz. maple syrup, cinnamon, cinnamon stick.

Directions: Shake all ingredients heavily and strain into a glass. Top with cinnamon and a cinnamon stick.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. Previously, the kitchen/dining/ breakfast area was divided into three rooms. Walls were removed and structural beams added to support the second level. The beam running perpendicular to the stove shows where the old kitchen ended.

2. The new floorplan beautifully maximizes every inch of square footage.

3. Poplar cabinetry on the island and built-in buffet are a tranquil blue, while the perimeter cabinetry is a crisp white.

4. The original hardwood flooring was patched and refinished.

5. Shiplap trim and custom corbels complete this stunning remodel.

THE CHALLENGE This Meridian-Kessler Cape Cod was built in 1935 and received very few updates through the years. The new owners were eager to transform the small, boxy kitchen into a warm and welcoming gathering space for family and friends. The couple also loves to cook, so an organized and efficient design was imperative.

DISPATCHES Hiding valuables — ­ The most common places thieves look for hidden valuables are dresser drawers, nightstands and medicine cabinets.

They rarely look in kids’ rooms, so valuables can be hidden there. Also, a good place to store emergency cash is inside a photo album. No thief is going to take time to peruse your family albums.

Source: FamilyHandyman.com Brighten stained containers — If your Tupperware containers have dull orange stains from tomato-based sauces, here’s a fix. Make a paste of baking soda and water.

Rub on the inside of the container and let sit for a few hours. Rinse off and the stains should be gone.

Source: MSN.com Easy upgrades — When preparing to sell a house, owners will often spend a lot of time and money doing repairs and upgrades. One of the easiest, and most affordable, DIY updates is to replace outlet covers with higher tech versions. Outlet covers now come with built-in USB chargers, nightlights and more.

These features make the standard outlet much more versatile.

Commentary by Don Knebel Aswan, Egypt, was once famous for the quality of its granite. Today, it is famous for the quality of TRAVEL its attractions.

In antiquity, Aswan was named Swenett. Situated at the Nile’s first cataract, one of six granite outcroppings in the river, it marked Egypt’s southern boundary with Nubia. Swenett was the site of granite quarries, where artisans carved the obelisks needed for temples near Luxor. One important site in Aswan today is the unfinished obelisk, abandoned in situ when carvers discovered a crack. It is still not entirely clear how workers extracted the enormous obelisks from their quarries, transported them more than a hundred miles downriver and erected them at the temples.

Aswan is the site of the Aswan High Dam, erected between 1960 and 1970 to control the flooding of the Nile. The dam is more than 2 miles long and 364 feet high, creating 300-mile-long Lake Nasser. Nearby is a wonderfully preserved temple to Isis, originally built by the Greeks on the Island of Philae and moved to higher ground to escape the waters of Lake Nasser. Feluccas, graceful traditional boats propelled by oars and sails, take visitors to the temple and other sites along the river, including

Along the Nile River at Aswan, Egypt.

(Photo by Don Knebel)

Elephantine Island, reportedly once the site of a Jewish temple and now the site of a Nubian village. At night, Aswan’s famous spice market, which sells much more than spices, teems with visitors, who can hire horsedrawn carriages for trips around the city.

Aswan was the favorite city of Aga Khan III, born in what is now Pakistan and the president of the League of Nations in 1937. He is entombed in a mausoleum atop a hill overlooking the Nile, providing a magnificent view of Aswan and the river. Many visitors to Egypt never make it to Aswan. Don’t make that mistake.
