Warns wins WHS Shark Tank contest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield High School junior John Warns’ mind is always clicking.

“Invention and innovaINNOVATION tion have been a huge part of my life ever since I was introduced to 3-D printing my freshman year,” Warns said.

Warns’ latest idea won the fourth Westfield High School Shark Tank competition March 21. The event is sponsored by the Westfield Chamber of Commerce.

Warns’ idea was one of five pitched to the audience, which then voted on the winner, who received a $1,500 check. The total includes $500 cash the student can spend on whatever he wants, WHS innovation specialist Joel Bruns said.

“The other $1,000 is to invest in their project and will stay with the school and we can purchase items to further their business project,” Bruns said.

Warns convinced the audience that his Cyclone spring mount was the best idea to back.

It’s a 3-D printed spring mount for measuring gears and other cylinders.

“Cylinder parts and gears need to be quickly and accurately measured by laser and

probe machines,” Warns said.

Warns has already sold a more simplified version of the mount.

“The spring mount, I was waiting for the funds to really launch that,” said Warns, who said Chrysler was interested in his mount.

Warns plans to use his prize money to seek a patent.

Warns, 17, also won Shark Tank as a freshman with his cake-cutter design. He has a patent pending on it.

Warns is planning to study architectural landscaping at Purdue.

Warns is a regular at the WHS Idea Farm, a

makerspace with 3-D printers.

“Previously, we were just an extracurricular club,” Bruns said. “Now, we’ve been running a small class called Innovation by Design in the makerspace.”

Bruns said the Shark Tank presentations give students a chance to practice pitching ideas.

“John has been laser-focused on this project for the last two months,” he said.

The other students, all seniors, with their presentations included Patrick Ryan’s True North Consulting, a positive impact marketing and consulting firm.

Sydney Green and Owen McGraw had an idea for a makerspace designed to bring the community together in many ways. Veronica Galles’ project was Look on the Bright Side, which are handmade wooden frames with positive quotes and messages to spread optimism and encouragement to consumers.

Nick Svendsen and Luke Bainbridge presented Project Power charger for a phone.

Bruns said he would like to see Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and OneZone (Carmel/ Fishers) hold similar Shark Tank events for high school students in their area.

“Then we would all come together for a final pitch competition,” he said.

The day after charges were filed against Greenaway (March 25), Hamilton County government officials announced that Greenaway had been fired and that Senior Judge Jeffrey Eggers would fill his role.

Eggers began serving as Hamilton Superior Court magistrate April 1 and has served as a senior judge since 2014. He has been a full-time judicial officer in Johnson County for 10 years.

County officials also said that all judges in Hamilton County have recused themselves from hearing the criminal proceedings against Greenaway, and a special judge from outside of Hamilton County will hear the case.

Breakfast recognizes youth

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Thirteen Westfield Washington Schools students were recognized March 20 during the ninth annual WestACHIEVEMENT field Youth Assistance Program Youth Recognition Celebration Breakfast.

The event recognizes youth in the community who have overcome adversity at home or in school, have demonstrated a profound positive change in attitude or behavior, have overcome a significant obstacle at home or school or have made an extraordinary academic positive turnaround.

School staff submits nominations to WYAP. A selection committee vets the nominations and chooses the recipients. Nominees span all grade levels.

At the breakfast, nominators presented on the youth winners, who then received an award and words of encouragement from Westfield Mayor Andy Cook.

“So many of them have overcome things in their lives, all the way from the deaths and the illnesses to the kinds of things we really only read about it, most of us, and we think we have troubles, huh?” Cook said.

“These kids show us the reality, and I’m so proud of all of them.”

Students honored were: • Joshua Kleckner Jr., a first-grade student at Carey Ridge • Jasmine Cox, a second-grade student at Maple Glen • Genesis Montes Flores, a second-grade

WPD sees reduction in crime news@currentinwestfield.com For the third consecutive year, the City of Westfield has reported a reduction in its crime rate. Uniform crime rates POLICE decreased from 572 in 2017 to 562 in 2018, the lowest the UCR has been since 2012. While the UCR has decreased, Westfield’s population rose by 2,300 from 2017 to 2018.

The crime rate reduction was reported in the WPD’s 2018 Annual Report. The report also detailed the WPD’s new partnership with Westfield Washington Schools, which included adding school resource officers and creating police substations.

“As a community, we can measure success in many ways, and the safety and security of our community is the most important,” Mayor Andy Cook stated. “Creating

a safe community for our families is a priority in Westfield. The fact that our crime rate has gone down three years in a row while our population has gone up is a testament to the professionalism and commitment of the Westfield Police Dept.”

In addition to the uniform crime rates decrease, the city also saw a reduction in aggravated assaults, motor vehicle thefts and burglaries. Robberies decreased by 75 percent from 2017. However, property damage and injury-related crashes increased from 2017, prompting an initiative this year to decrease the numbers in those areas.

Also in 2018, WPD added four new officers: Clayton Wylie, Jeremy Thomas, Devin Cornwell and Tyler Mitchell. Officers Eli Stubbs and Anuar Velazquez were named the department’s newest K-9 officers.

WHS grad participates in ‘Naked and Afraid’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When 2008 Westfield High School graduate Whitney Hamblin hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine SURVIVAL in 2016, she documented her six-month journey on social media. Producers from the Discovery Channel television series, “Naked and Afraid,” saw the documentation and reached out to Hamblin, requesting she interview for a spot on the show.

After several interviews, Hamblin was accepted.

The episode was shot in May 2018 in a jungle in Brazil. Hamblin and her show partner, Nathan Martinez, survived the three-week challenge. Their only prize was bragging rights.

“Essentially, it was how uncomfortable can you be and for how long and can you survive for three weeks with nothing but yourself and a couple of bare tools,” the 29-year-old Carmel resident said. “You get to choose what tools you think are best for the location.”

Hamblin and Martinez were given a 6-liter cookpot, a Chinese Dadao sword and flint and steel.

Hamblin said the first time she met her partner, they were both naked.

“When you’re walking up to a stranger you have never met in the middle of the jungle, there’s people taking video and audio, and on top of meeting a stranger you don’t know, you’re totally naked,” she said.

“At first, it’s incredibly uncomfortable, but you make it past that and start working toward the challenge within the hour. My partner and I very quickly moved into survival mode.”

Hamblin said insects were the worst part of the experience.

“The hardest part was the bugs. Not because bugs gross me out, but it’s just that there’s no escape,” she said. “You can never escape them. As soon as the sun comes up, all the gnats and biting flies come out. In the late afternoon, all the mosquitos come out.”

Although the pair is sequestered to a specific area for the three weeks, there also are guidelines they must follow.

Whitney Hamblin spent three weeks in a jungle in Brazil as part of the show “Naked and Afraid.”

(Submitted photo)

“There are rules that go along with the challenge, the challenge being you have to stay in the location, and if you find manmade materials, they’re off limits,” Hamblin said. “There’s a river that runs (nearby), and things wash up on shore sometimes, and it was difficult to know there were some resources around but they were off limits, but that’s part of the challenge. The challenge is to survive in the most primitive way possible.”

At the end of the challenge, Hamblin and Martinez swam 2 miles in a river for a water extraction. By the end of the challenge, Hamblin lost 19 pounds and Martinez lost 29 pounds.

Hamblin and Martinez got several major “protein kills” for food throughout their time on the island – an armadillo and four stingrays. They also ate snails, frogs and small fish.

Hamblin doesn’t regret her experience.

“At the end of the day, the things I learned about myself, the mental strength and fortitude I have gained from that challenge, those are the things that make it worth it for me. That confidence is something that can’t really ever be taken from you,” she said. “I’m grateful for the experience.”

The episode aired March 3, but it is periodically replaying throughout April.

Murders tore families apart, brought unlikely friends together

Business

Boat

Umbrella

Every year, George Allemenos and Bill McCallister get together to celebrate their shared birthday. The two IN MEMORY retirees have been close for 25 years, chatting on the phone a couple times a week and enjoying meals together on occasion.

But the friendship is one they wish never had happened.

The two men met during the trial of a man convicted of killing Allemenos’ only two children and family friend Chris James in 1994. McCallister was hired as a private investigator by the defense, making the friendship even more surprising.

The friendship is but one of several that resulted from one of Hamilton County’s most gruesome and shocking cases. Allemenos is still in frequent contact with the James family and many other people he met because of the tragedy, one of the “good things to come out of this,” he said.

Lita James, the mother of Chris James, said she can still suddenly become emotionally unglued by certain memories and unexpected reminders.

“I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t think of him. I try to keep his memory alive,” she said.

‘It hits close to home’ Life changed forever for the Allemenos and James families on March 17, 1994, when 17-year-old Nick Allemenos, 13-year-old Lisa Allemenos and 23-year-old Chris James were found with their throats slashed in the Allemenos’ home in the Thistlewood neighborhood, an area that has since been annexed

by Carmel.

Investigators soon determined the deaths were a result of a robbery gone horribly wrong. Police arrested three men for the crimes: Raymond Adams, James Walls and Kofi Ajabu. Adams, who was accused by the other defendants of independently planning and carrying out the murders, pleaded guilty to the murders, while Walls and Ajabu were both convicted of murder at trial and effectively sentenced to life in prison.

Now retired, Allemenos splits his time between his Westfield home and Florida.

Lita James does the same, living in an Indianapolis senior living community when she’s in Indiana.

‘This wasn’t supposed to happen’ The Allemenos and James families weren’t

the only ones torn apart by the Carmel triple murders.

Of the three men convicted of the crime, Kofi Ajabu’s trial received the most attention, in part because his father was a leader of the Black Panther Militia and made death threats against prosecutors during his son’s trial.

According to Ajabu’s sister, Nzinga Harrison, the additional media attention instigated by her father led to her brother being “vilified” for actions beyond his control.

“With all of the media coverage, you wouldn’t know there were three defendants, but everyone knows my brother’s name,” said Harrison, a psychiatrist who lives in Atlanta.

Before the murders, Ajabu didn’t have any felonies on his adult criminal record and was a college student at Jackson State University in Mississippi.

The only defendant permitted to directly appeal his conviction, Ajabu has lost all of his appeals and is preparing to petition the governor for clemency. Harrison has started an online petition on Change.org to gather support for the request, which had more than 4,800 signatures as of March 11.

“Raymond Adams pulled a gun on me, and it was my expectation that I would die as well,” said Ajabu, who is at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility south of Terre Haute.

“Apparently, he chose otherwise. Apparently, he chose to drag me to prison with him, which is in its own way possibly worse.”

Allemenos said he is confident the governor would reject clemency for Ajabu, and that he and his co-defendants are where they belong.

“He can’t kiss his mother and can’t even come and go and watch TV when he wants to, and that’s fine,” Allemenos said. “I don’t want life to be easy for those three. I want them to think about what they did.”

Lita James also hopes the governor won’t give Ajabu a second chance at freedom, but personally she’s hoping to one day be able to forgive him and his co-defendants.

Legislators talk education issues at chamber panel

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com On March 8, nine legislators from the greater Hamilton County area took part in the most recent in a GOVERNMENT series of legislative breakfast panels presented by the Hamilton County chambers of commerce and the Hamilton County Business Issues Committee.

The panel discussion took place at Conner Prairie, where education issues, specifically school safety, dominated the conversation. The panel featured State Sens. J.D. Ford (D-Indianapolis), John Ruckelshaus (RIndianapolis), Victoria Spartz (R-Noblesville) and Jim Buck (R-Kokomo) and State Reps.

Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis), Tony Cook (R-Cicero), Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel), Todd Huston (R-Fishers) and Chuck Goodrich (R-Noblesville).

As the former superintendent of Hamilton Heights School Corp., Cook discussed House Bill 1004.

The bill states that schools eligible for money from the secured safety fund must conduct a threat assessment by July 1, 2021, for each of its buildings before the school corporation can apply for a matching grant from the fund. Changes also allow funds received to be used for mental health and social/emotional wellness services for students. The bill also sets the requirement that at least one of the disaster drills conducted by each school must be an active-shooter drill and must be conducted within 90 days after the beginning of each semester.

Touching on school safety, Huston referred to the house’s budget bill (HB 1001).

“We included additional funding, several million dollars, for school safety, which can be used for the physical hardening of schools and mental health,” Huston said before moving on to the issue of teacher

pay. “There’s been some debate about the teacher pay issue and the legislature’s obligation to that. House Bill 1003 and the Republican caucus has said, appropriately, that we will provide district’s with money, but teacher pay should be decided at the local level based upon the factors that may be different.

“When I was on the school board at (Hamilton) Southeastern, we wanted things like smaller class sizes, but if you want smaller class sizes, you’re probably not going to be able to maximize teacher pay because you’re putting more people (on payroll),” Huston continued. “In (HB 1003), we want that to be a transparent process. We want to set some guidelines for how those dollars are used.

Everyone desires to pay teachers as much as possible, but the factors that determine that are decided locally.”

Goodrich discussed a bill (HB 1224) he authored that would establish an intergenerational mentor pilot program.

“As we look at school safety, I truly believe that this relationship with senior citizens and folks volunteering in our schools is a big deal,” he said.

Goodrich has previously said he was inspired to write the bill after the May 25, 2018 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School, when community members reached out to him looking for a way to help.

Through the pilot program, individuals 55 and older would work with students as a mentor to help develop life skills.

House Bills 1003, 1004 and 1224 have been passed by the House and, as of press time, are being reviews by the Senate’s Education and Career Development Committee.

The 2019 legislative session ends April 29.

At 7:30 a.m. April 12, OneZone and the Hamilton County Business Issues Committee will host its next legislative breakfast at Conner Prairie.

Spring has sprung for county’s conservation team

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District staff is bringing back its annual OUTDOOR program that benefits local homeowners and the environment.

With spring on the way, the HCSWCD is again selling rain barrels and native plant kits for yards.

The kits consist of plants that can naturally grow in the region. Each $120 kit contains 50 native plant plugs and are categorized by the area of the yard, including pollinator plants (good for bees and butterflies), rain plants (for wetter areas), prairie plants and plants for a shade garden.

The kits also contain 10 species of native perennials that can fill an area of 50 to 150 square feet.

Rain barrels also are part of the spring sale and are available for preorder for $75. The repurposed, plastic

barrels collect rainwater from a home’s roof and downspout. The water is used for activities like garden watering, washing the car and more.

During peak summer months, a rain barrel can collect approximately 1,300 gallons of naturally soft water, according to the HCSWCD. The 55-gallon barrels are available in four colors – grey, terra cotta, black and green.

Diverter systems for easy installation are available for $25.

Plant kit and rain barrel pre-orders can be placed online at hamiltonswcd.org or by visiting the SWCD office at 1717 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

Orders are due by May 10 and will be available for pick up May 24. Question can be directed to Claire Lane at claire.lane@hamiltoncounty.in.gov or 317-773-2181.

All proceeds support conservation projects and education in Hamilton County. More information on native plants and rain barrels can be found at hamiltonswcd.org.

Westfield teacher uses $12,000 grant to search for fossils in Europe

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com With a $12,000 Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program Lilly Endowment grant, Monon Trail Elementary behavCOVER STORY ior resource teacher Chloe Diedam will use the dollars to travel along the Jurassic Coast in Europe and search for fossils.

The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program allows teachers to renew their commitment to teaching by allowing them to pursue their dreams and passions. Some of Diedam’s passions are prehistoric topics and fossils.

The Jurassic Coast is 95 miles of coastline on the English Channel along the southern border of England. Diedam will visit eight stops along the coast: Lyme Regis; Charmouth; Dorchester; Barton on the Sea, Hampshire; Bouldnor, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight; Bracklesham Way, West Sussex; London and Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey. She will work with guides on learning how to find, identify, collect and document fossils along the coastline.

Diedam said different fossils, such as terrestrial or marine varieties, are found at different locations along the Jurassic Coast.

“I’m traveling from the southwest and moving my way east, and then I go up to London,” she said. “While I’m there, I’m doing fossil collection, but I’m also going to famous landmarks and museums to learn about the prehistoric life that lived in that area, so a lot of history is involved. I’m really interested in not just finding (fossils) but learning about them. I think everything has a story, so if I’m finding an ammonite, which are really common fossils there, someone will say, ‘What is an ammonite?’ and I’ll be able to (inform) them how old they are, what they ate and why they are found specifically in that area.”

Diedam has been interested in paleontology since she was very young.

“I wrote in my grant (application) that even as a kid, my parents would buy these little clay blocks. You would get a chisel

toy and there would be a plastic dinosaur skeleton inside, and I thought that was so cool,” she said. “I’ve always liked dinosaurs, going to museums and things like that. It’s just carried into my adult life, and I look around the Midwest and we don’t have a

lot of fossils. We are mostly marine, a lot of shells and trilobites, little critters that live in the water.”

Diedam travels to Florida to search for fossils. She once found a megalodon tooth.

A megalodon is an extinct species of shark

BRINGING HER EXPERIENCE HOME In addition to bringing home fossils she finds while exploring the Jurassic Coast this summer, Monon Trail Elementary behavior resource teacher Chloe Diedam also will return with a wealth of new knowledge.

At the end of July, she will teach a summer camp about fossils.

“I know tons of kids who love dinosaurs and history, so to bring back my fossils and what I have learned to teach kids to identify fossils and talk about different types of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures and where to go locally to find fossils, it will inspire them to go abroad and follow their dreams,” she said.

which could reach the size of a school bus.

“I’ve found a 3-inch megalodon tooth, which equates to a 30-foot megalodon, which is a juvenile,” Diedam said.

Diedam went through a process to obtain the proper permits, so if she finds fossils along the Jurassic Coast, she’s allowed to keep them and bring them back to Indiana.

“I just had that itch. Here’s an opportunity for me to write a grant to do something I really enjoy,” she said. “I looked all around the world. Europe tends to be really rich in fossils, and (so is) the West Coast of the U.S. and Africa. I narrowed it down to a couple different European countries, and finally down to the Jurassic Coast because it is a historic landmark.”

ESSAY All or nothing?

LETTER List or no list

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1939, famed lyricist Jack Russell penned what would become a classic American standard for singer Frank Sinatra. In it, Russell demands that if his lover won’t “yield” to him entirely, then he has no interest in continuing the relationship. For him, it is “all or nothing at all.” It seems that brinksmanship is a long-utilized methodology to crush nuance and compromise: “Give me what I want or get out.”

American politics is no stranger to an all-or-nothing game of chicken. Elected officials and pundits squawk about the dire consequences of leaving any room for another point of view. Crush the opposition.

Demonize them. Litigate! Do it now!

Yet, paradoxically, they wax poetic about simpler times when folks would “reach across the aisle” to get work done.

Standards are material, and some things rightly cannot be accommodated. But, as we mature into fully formed humans, it becomes clearer that things are not so clear. Our fervent assumptions regarding our own infallibility wane, and we learn that sometimes, the perspectives of others are worthy of consideration.

Love and politics are prone to hyperbole and one-sidedness, and social media has exacerbated the affliction. We have come to increasingly live our lives protected from the perspectives of others. Whether we may learn, or even come to agree, is not relevant. We obsess over sameness. Our laws must be identical to those in other states.

Our leaders must say what we demand. Plus, our friends and family better give us 100 percent of what we want – or else!

Are we so sure that’s what we need? Even if so, who gave us the right to demand it?

Please, don’t Doo it again Commentary by Danielle Wilson Longtime readers will know that my husband’s real name is not “Doo.” The nickname came about after a controverHUMOR sial 2009 raccoon incident that resulted in him going out on our lawn after midnight with a pellet gun and no shirt, cussin’ up a storm. Being a native Kentuckian and having endured many hillbilly jabs through the years, I immediately went to one of my favorite films, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” about country singer Loretta Lynn and her husband, “Doo.” I bring all of this up because over the weekend we experienced an almost identical scenario to our original Butcher Holler event 10 years ago. I awoke to weird noises outside our bedroom window, at first thinking it was one of our kids and then wondering if the wind was blowing around the porch furniture. When I went to investigate, nothing seemed out of the ordinary; our ferocious guard dog Libby was simply laz-

ing in the hallway. Ruling out intruders and zombies, I returned to bed but eventually had to wake Doo, who immediately jumped into action. Naked.

He soon discovered a giant raccoon skulking along our roofline and began banging on the wall, yelling expletives in a strange voice. Doo then opened the window to try and, I don’t know, scare it? Mind you, this side of our house faces a major road, and he is completely nude, backlit in all his glory. All I could do was giggle. Here we go again.

He briefly debated driving to his parents for the gun, just as he did on that fateful night, but thankfully, wisdom prevailed. We both went back to sleep.

Yep, that’s my Doo. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”

-Booker T. Washington

Editor, Last year, state Sens. John Ruckelshaus and Greg Taylor were discussing support for a hate crimes bill. This year, the bill has been heard in committee hearings and was set to go until an amendment was added deleting the “list” to a “bias” crime bill. I support the latter. In making a list of groups of people to protect from discrimination, most likely someone will be left out unless you add subtitles under the race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, gender identity and the LGBT. Did I get the list correct? Did I include everyone? See how difficult this is?

There should be one or two words in the bill to be a “catch-all” for all Hoosiers.

Now, speaking of hate, I have never experienced more hateful affiliations, associations, abuse, bullying, lies, threats, harassment, disrespect, hostility, prejudice, animosity, and the list goes on, toward our president. Our president is experiencing the true meaning of hate from a percentage of our American and non-American populace.

We should add his name to the list if our Indiana Legislature is going to vote on a “list.”

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Was it my ego, laziness or just a deceptive nature? I had resisted this action for several years, but it was finally time: I HUMOR decided to update my Facebook picture. I also updated my bio pictures on the WISH-TV website. These were not photos of who Dick Wolfsie is; these were photos of who Dick Wolfsie was.

In one replaced photo, I was standing in front of Market Square Arena. In another, I was holding my dog, Barney (gone since 2004), and one of me with the late Mayor Bill Hudnut at an Indian’s game at Bush Stadium.

Updating my photos caused quite a stir in cyberspace. Classmates I had not heard from in years felt compelled to check with me, asking if I was well: “You looked great for 20 years on Facebook. Not anymore,” said my old buddy, Phil. “I hope it’s nothing serious.”

This from an old flame, Carol: “You were always so adorable. What happened? Do you still whistle all the time? Like, how annoying was that on a date? I’m assuming you also stopped shaking your leg. Are you still scatterbrained?”

I asked my wife if these memories of me were accurate.

“Yes, you still whistle constantly. Even in the morning when you are working,” Mary Ellen said, “Other than a Disney dwarf, who does that? And, yes, you also bounce your leg when you watch TV.” “OK, but am I still spacey?”

“Let’s see. In the last month, you found your cellphone in the neighbor’s garage — twice. You found your car keys in the cat food bag and last night you found your appointment book in the wash.”

“Give me some credit. There was a time I couldn’t find anything.”

But back to the new Facebook photo. I got so many emails asking, “Are you OK?” that I have already changed it to a close-up of me outside the RCA Dome, where I look a lot younger. As you know, the RCA Dome grew old, so they decided to tear it down and start over.

I’m seriously considering that option for myself.

READER’S VIEW

Readers’ views push government control

Editor, Current in Westfield’s “Reader’s View” columns of March 5 and March 12 have been nothing short of pushing more government control of our lives.

First, there is Steve Simon, the champion of the Green New Deal who is fearful of world peace for his descendants. He is pushing the same climate scare that has been perpetuated for decades (and disputed by many scientists) starting in the 1970s. Nowhere is there a mention of his fear of the massive cost to the taxpayers of this “pipe dream” ($93 trillion) or the effect a bankrupt United States will have on world peace and on his loved descendants. The claim of China and India being ahead of the United States is absurd. www.firstmilesecurity.com Next, there is Shelley Carey, the guncontrol supporter who is ignorant of the 317-361-4999 fact soft targets, such as schools, are perfect opportunities for perpetrators to Locally owned and doing business in Westfield fortheir the past years carry out evil15wishes.

tragedy; a threat needs to be stopped immediately by an armed defender. She then pontificates about being in favor of more infringement of constitutional rights, giving the absurd proposition of re-registration every four years in the mold of a driver’s license (which is a privilege, not a right). Are the rights of free speech, religion and the press subject to a four-year re-registration?

This is not a dispute of the necessary stewardship of our environment, natural resources and children’s safety. Common sense rules that economic prosperity and protection of all constitutional rights are the backbone of peace and security. And, protect our children by allowing trained and armed school staff volunteers to do so.

The real threat is government takeover of the citizenry of this nation. To those who long for this, two messages are in order. First, keep your hands off of our wallets and our rights. Second, there is a place that gives a view of your Utopian ideas in action: Venezuela.

Mallet finger: causes, cures Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui and Lori Cain, OTI “I thought I just jammed it when the basketball hit the tip of my finger.” “I was just pullSPORTS MEDICINE ing the sheets off the bed and felt a pop.” “I believed I just sprained it and it would get better.” “The hammer hit my fingertip instead of nail, and I thought I just smashed it and it would be fine in a few days.”

The above are all comments heard from patients that were later diagnosed with a mallet-finger injury. Mallet finger is an injury to the extensor tendon that straightens the end joint of your finger resulting in the inability to straighten the finger. It may be the result of tendon damage with no fracture present or you could have a fracture as a result of the ruptured tendon.

If you have an injury and find you’re unable to straighten the tip of your finger, you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. The sooner you’re diagnosed and splinted in the appropriate position, the better your potential

to heal. If you have an injury that you suspect is mallet finger, first you should ice and elevate your hand to keep swelling down. Second, try to find something to splint your finger straight until you’re able to see an orthopedic physician or go to the emergency department.

Occupational therapy is often ordered post diagnosis to fabricate a custom splint to place your finger in hyperextension to maximize healing potential. After healing, occupational therapy can help to provide education and/or home exercises to regain motion and functional strength.

If you can’t straighten the tip of your finger, have it checked out as soon as possible rather than just thinking it’s smashed, sprained or jammed. That is the key to this injury and to maximizing full use of your finger again.

Dr. Joseph Hui is a Riverview Health primary care sports medicine physician.

Stock of the Week — CenturyLink Inc. (CTL) is still seen by most investors as an old landline company whose phone customers are going away quickly. That perception is misguided. Since buying Level 3 in November 2017, CenturyLink has become a technology company focused on enterprise and business customers rather than consumers.

About 75 percent of the firm’s revenue is now from the business-and-enterprise sector—and through Level 3, CenturyLink has one of the best fiber-optic networks for delivery of telecommunications services. The old landline business is actually declining only a few percent a year, not quickly—so revenue is only dropping slowly. And profits are rising steadily as CenturyLink goes through its refocus and turnaround. The company took on high debt, $35 billion, for the Level 3 acquisition, and recently cut its dividend to put more cash toward debt paydown. But even the reduced dividend, which is $1/share/yr., recently yielded 8.27% and appears quite sustainable. Revenue was $23.4 billion last year and is likely to be $22.8 billion this year and $22.4 billion in 2020.

Indiana’s February unemployment report ­— Indiana’s unemployment rate was 3.5 percent for February and remains lower than the national rate of 3.8 percent. With the exception of one month when it was equal (October 2014), Indiana’s unemployment rate now has been below the U.S. rate for more than five years. The monthly unemployment rate is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people seeking employment within the prior four weeks as a percentage of the labor force. Indiana’s labor force had a net increase of 7,997 over the previous month. This was a result of an increase of 1,755 unemployed residents and an increase of 6,242 employed residents. Indiana’s total labor force, which includes both Hoosiers employed and those seeking employment, stands at 3.40 million, and the state’s 65.2 percent labor force participation rate remains above the national rate of 63.2 percent.

IRT presents new version of ’Amber Waves’ editorial@youarecurrent.com Almost 20 years after the full-length version of “Amber Waves” premiered at the Indiana Repertory Theatre in 2000, the heartland drama by IRT’s playwright-in-residence James Still returns to the Upperstage April 2 to 28.

Featuring music by Tim Grimm and Jason Wilber, “Amber Waves” follows a year in the life of an Indiana family as they face the prospect of losing their farm.

Originally a one-act play, the newest version of “Amber Waves” takes a deeper look at the commitment, struggle and beauty of farm and family life. For Still, the story draws inspiration from his own Midwestern background and the loss of his family farm in Kansas.

Returning to the stage will be musician Tim Grimm, who previously played the role of Mike and wrote the original songs and music with Jason Wilber for the 2000 premiere. This time, in addition to the original pieces, Grimm has partnered with multiinstrumentalist Rachel Eddy to create music for the production, which they will play live onstage during each performance.

MSP presents ‘Going Going Gone’

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Steven Marsh is a veteran stage actor who got his start in community theater nearly 20 years ago in MontiTHEATER cello, Fla. Now, after two decades of being on stage, the Carmel resident is stepping out of his comfort zone to direct Main Street Productions’ presentation of “Going Going Gone,” a comedy centered around four sports journalists in a press box covering a Major League Baseball game.

Penned by writer/Major League Baseball announcer Ken Levine, “Going Going Gone” has an eight-show run April 12 through April 28 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32, Westfield.

Marsh, who moved to Carmel in 2005, is making his directorial debut. The play has four cast members and explores an array of topics that most everyday people can relate to.

“It’s four sportscasters doing their jobs during a single, crazy baseball game, but it’s also about the changing landscape of the news media, the meaning of life and other bigger pictures,” Marsh said. “I love that it’s

Front, from left, Ka’Lena Cuevas (Fishers), Brian Coon (Westfield) and Byron Holmes (Indianapolis) and, back, Bill Buchanan (Westfield) in a scene from “Going Going Gone.” (Submitted photo)

such a modern comedy. Various plot points revolve around cellphones, online dating and the perils of the housing market.”

“Experiencing this play gives me the same thrill that I get when I stumble across an episode of ‘MASH’ or ‘Cheers’ I’d forgotten about, where the characters all feel alive, their situations have real stakes, and yet everything is so energetic and funny.”

The cast features Hamilton County residents Brian Coon (Westfield), Bill Buchanan (Westfield) and Ka’Lena Cuevas (Fishers), along with Indianapolis resident Byron Holmes.

Couple appears in ‘42nd Street’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Scott Martin met his future wife at a radio glee club, but fell in love during a Rodgers & HamMUSICAL merstein musical.

The glee club was part of Dave Smiley’s Morning Show at WZPL. “Jen was in it. I auditioned and got in, met Scott Martin Jen at rehearsal and the world stopped turning,” Martin said. “We then auditioned for the show ‘Oklahoma!’ at Wayne Township Community Theater (in 2011) and we were cast opposite each other as Will Parker and Ado Annie. Through time together and lots of kissing scenes, we quickly fell in love.”

The Carmel couple are appearing in “42nd Street” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre April 4 to May 19.

“This will be my third show at Beef & Boards and I’m incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work here,” Jen said. “I was in ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ and ‘Elf’ this past holiday season.”

Jen plays Ethel of the chorus girl hopefuls in the musical.

“I adore tap dancing, so ‘42nd Street’ has always been on my radar since it’s such an incredible tap show,” Jen said. “I really enjoy this type of role because you have so much room to play. While there are leading characters with lines to tell the story, it is the responsibility of the Jen Martin entire company to create the world these characters exist in. Without having as many details in the script about my character, I get the opportunity to make decisions about who my character is and further develop who Ethel is.”

Martin, a 2002 Zionsville High School graduate, is appearing as Pat Denning in “42nd Street.” He previously performed in “42nd Street” in 2007 at the Artists’ Studio in Fishers.

The couple have two sons, Will, 3, and Josh, 1 1/2 years old. Jen said they had to make sure doing the show was feasible with double time commitments.

Christchurch: A resilient New Zealand city Commentary by Don Knebel The recent mosque massacres are the latest of many catastrophes to hit Christchurch.

If history is any indication, this TRAVEL dynamic city of approximately 400,000 on New Zealand’s South Island will come back from its horrors stronger and more united than ever.

In 1856, Queen Victoria granted Christchurch a charter, making it New Zealand’s first city. Gothic Revival buildings soon followed in the city center. In 1864, when the city had fewer than 500 male residents, the local Anglican bishop began constructing a cathedral in Cathedral Square. Three times before the iconic Gothic cathedral was completed in 1904, it was damaged by earthquakes that destroyed buildings in the city. In 1947, a fire near the cathedral killed 41 people and destroyed a number of buildings in the area. In September 2010 and again in February, June and December 2011, major earthquakes struck Christchurch, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of buildings and the deaths of 185 people.

The tower of the cathedral toppled and the remainder of the church was severely compromised, leading to calls for its demolition.

(Photo by Don Knebel)

The Bridge of Remembrance, an arch honoring New Zealand’s war dead, was badly damaged. Estimates of the damage from the earthquakes exceeded $20 billion, an average of $50,000 for each resident.

Rather than abandoning the center city, government officials decided to rebuild it, with a focus on the future and buildings designed to survive future earthquakes. To accommodate anticipated population growth, the plan contemplates building 50,000 new homes by 2028. The cathedral will be rebuilt at a cost of about $100 million and restored

as the seat of the bishop. The government of New Zealand has committed more than $700 million to build and equip new schools.

In 2016, the repaired and strengthened Bridge of Remembrance was rededicated as a symbol of the city’s resilience.

If I only had a time machine Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

vampires don’t do anything else to humans except bite their necks. Vampires don’t pick humans’ noses, they don’t style humans’ hair and they don’t jiggle the loose skin on humans’ upper arms.

Vampires bite only humans in the neck.

This suggests vampires don’t bite ostriches, giraffes, flamingos, or anything else in the neck — just humans.

Apparently, I understand grammar best when I use nerdy examples like vampires and time machines. And, now that I’ve learned my lesson, I can save my single-use time machine do-over for something else, like the time I attempted to iron my shirt while still wearing it.

I appreciate reader feedback, and I try to respond to each email and letter I receive.

Believe it or not, at GRAMMAR GUY least seven of you are reading Grammar Guy on a consistent basis! That’s humbling.

If you had a time machine to go back and redo one moment of your life, what would you change? For me, I would learn where to place the word “only” in a sentence properly. This grammar faux pas of mine doesn’t get past you word nerds out there. In fact, I’ve received at least seven emails about my misplacement of “only” over the past few months. So, if you don’t mind, I’m going to learn my lesson once and for all; after all, Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated Grammar Guy should get this right (lest the humor writer.

“A pair of new hips lets me chase down blazing serves and fleeing criminals.”

– tye d.

The defining moment came when Tye, a 36-year-old police officer, couldn’t step over a baby gate to help a 911 caller. No more would his aching hips keep him from doing his job. He went to Community’s Center for Joint Health where he had both joints replaced. From the confidence of his surgeon and care coordinator, to the quick access and “incredible rehab”, Tye has nothing but high marks for Community. He is back to any sport where he gets to chase after a ball, and has proven there is no baby gate too tall.

Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
