‘Hotly contested’ primaries expected in 5th District

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Less than three weeks after U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks’ announced that she will retire from Congress at the end of her ELECTION term, two Democrats and one Republican have launched campaigns for her 5th District seat.

As of July 2, the candidates include Democrats Dee Thornton, a Carmel resident who lost to Brooks in 2018, and Jennifer Christie, an Indianapolis science teacher and mother of four. On the Republican side, Noblesville resident Micah Beckwith, a small business owner and pastor, announced his intentions to run July 1.

With the election for the soon-to-be open seat occurring in 2020 – a presidential election year – voter turnout is expected to be high. Local leaders from both parties expect to see crowded polling places and primary races in May 2020.

“I imagine we’re going to have some hotly contested primaries on both sides,” said Joe Weingarten, chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.

Hamilton County Republican Party chair Laura Campbell declined to name potential candidates but said she’s had discussions with a couple of people with “name recognition” who are considering a run for the 5th District.

“I think there will probably be a good field of people who are interested in running in the Republican primary,” Campbell said.

Thornton received 43 percent of the vote for the 5th District seat in 2018 – the highest percentage earned by a Democrat since the district formed in 2000 – and Weingarten said the party has grown stronger in Hamilton County and the district since then. He said the Democratic party plans to send a national team to the 5th District to help with the campaign.

“I look at it from a standpoint that we actually could get a Democrat to win,” Weingarten said.

Campbell acknowledged that as Hamilton County has grown its demographics have shifted slightly to the left. She expects candidates from both parties to focus on appealing to moderate and undecided voters in 2020.

“With next year being a presidential year, there will be a lot of people who don’t vote every election who come out (to vote),” she

THE CANDIDATES As of July 2, three candidates have announced plans to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana’s 5th District.

Dee Thornton

After gathering more support than any other Democratic candidate who’s challenged Republican U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks in the 5th District, Dee Thornton is ready to campaign for the seat again.

The Carmel resident, who had never run for office before, earned 43 percent of the vote in 2018. With a bit of experience under her belt, she expects to do even better the second time.

“When you’re a first-time candidate, you’re learning your way around,” Thornton said. “This time, I think we’re going to have a good plan in place, and I believe that the 5th District can be flipped. It can be blue.”

Thornton and her husband have three children.

She retired from Xerox to start her own business.

Thornton will hold a campaign kickoff event July 15.

Jennifer Christie

As a scientist and mother of four young children, Indianapolis resident Jennifer Christie said she feels called to run for office to help address climate change, an issue she believes could have a major impact on future generations.

“I feel we’re not making sufficient progress to solve climate change,” she said. “I feel I have some qualifications to bring a new perspective to a tough issue that is, in my opinion, the greatest threat to ever face humanity, so having that as our greatest challenge can also be our greatest opportunity.”

Health care also will be a major focus of her campaign, Christie said.

Christie teaches science classes at the Westfield Washington Public Library.

She ran a short campaign for the 5th District in 2018 but withdrew from the race before the primary and was not on the ballot.

said. “I think that the independent voter will come into play next year very strongly.”

The 5th District includes all or parts of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant,

Micah Beckwith

Noblesville resident Micah Beckwith was the first candidate to announce a campaign for the 5th District Republican primary.

Beckwith is a father, small business owner and pastor at Northview Christian Church in Carmel.

“I’ve been watching what is happening in Washington and know that we need someone to take up the fight to defend true Constitutional conservative values,” Beckwith stated in a press release. “I am honored to announce that I will be running for Congress in 2020.”

Beckwith has degrees in business and economics and finance and has a passion for learning American history.

Howard, Madison and Tipton counties. Since forming in 2000, it has only sent Republicans to Congress, but the gap between the parties has narrowed throughout the years.

“With next year being a presidential year, there will be a lot of people who don’t vote every election who come out (to vote). I think that the independent voter will come into play next year very strongly.”

Anytime Fitness raises funds for local cancer patient

By Sophie Nulph • news@currentinwestfield.com

When personal trainer Matthew Sarabyn’s little sister Abbi was diagnosed with Stage 4 diffused large B cell lymphoma, members and staff of WestFUNDRAISER field’s Anytime Fitness wanted to help with a fundraiser.

Abbi was completing her sophomore year at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis on scholarship studying neuroscience when she was diagnosed.

The fundraiser is called B Cell Lymphoma Bustin’ Boot Camp. Matthew, along with other personal trainers, will

coach workouts for a registration fee.

“I want to just show appreciation for everyone who went out of their way to make a difference for someone they have never even met,” Matthew said.

The fundraiser will be July 12-13 with two sessions each day. The July 12 sessions will be at 5:30 and 7 p.m., and the July 13 sessions will be at 10 and 11:30 a.m. Sessions will be conducted at the Anytime Fitness at 3249 Ind. 32.

The fundraiser also will include a raffle with gift cards from business sponsors. Little Caesars will provide pizza at the July 12 fundraiser.

Abbi said she is grateful for all of the support.

“It feels wonderful to have such an outreach,” Abbi said.

“It really shows how much (people) support my brother and my family.”

Anytime Fitness member and fundraiser organizer Mallory Joest said Matthew is her personal trainer.

“We just thought it would be nice to give back to him (and his family) a little bit,” Joest said.

There is a Facebook link to the event and a GoFundMe page dedicated to Abbi Sarabyn with a link to register for the fundraising classes.

GROWING CONECERNS

Westfield farmer travels to Washington, D.C., to discuss trade, broadband

Because of frequent spring and summer rains, farmers still have fallow fields. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield resident Craig Wood left the grain-growing business in 2014, but farming still plays a large role in his life. He has since become an alfalfa COVER STORY farmer, and the wet weather has already impacted this year’s yields.

“We were able to get a first cutting in about the 10th or 15th of May and, if we can do that, usually we can get four cuttings off our fields,” Wood said. “This year, we were getting our first cutting about the 10th of June, so weather-permitting, I’m anticipating only getting three cuttings off.”

Wood Rainy weather also has likely impacted profits for corn farmers because of the long planting delays.

Wood, who was born and raised on a farm and has farmed on his own for almost 40 years, said he’s never seen a rain situation like this year’s. However, there are other issues impacting farmers across the nation. Wood recently traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Indiana Farm Bureau to talk to Hoosier lawmakers about topics like trade and broadband access in rural areas.

Wood is vice president for the Hamilton County board of directors for the Farm Bureau.

“Farm leaders from around the state went out to Washington, D.C., to talk with both of our (U.S. Senators), Todd Young and Mike Braun,” Wood said. “Then also, we had the opportunity to meet with our respective House of Representatives from the Indiana delegation. We were looking at issues facing farming, particularly the weather situation, but also the new potential trade agreement, the Mexico, Canada, America trade agreement. It’s a multi-national trade

pact with both Mexico and Canada trying to maintain some fair trade between all three countries and facilitate the trading.”

Wood said another major issue affecting the agricultural business is immigration.

“Agriculture is concerned about the immigration situation because so many ag businesses depend on immigrant labor to do their work,” he said. “Trying to maintain a supply of legitimate legal workers, that’s always a concern.”

Besides planting delays caused by rainy weather, Westfield farmer Craig Wood and other farm leaders also talked about rural broadband and the importance internet has on agriculture when they met with Indiana lawmakers during a recent trip to Washington, D.C. “The other thing we are looking at and talking with our congressional delegation has to do with rural broadband and the ability to get extended coverage out into the rural areas,” Wood said. “There are still certain areas in Indiana, particularly rural areas that have no coverage, and the way technology is advancing, even in the ag sector, there is a need to have access to internet.

Some of the new technology in some farm equipment depends on GPS and things like that, and you’ve got to be able to have that internet access and if you don’t, technology is no good.”

Wood said although he lives in Hamilton County, his internet connection is frequently weak.

“I made the point even though I live here in Hamilton County, one of the most affluent counties in both the state and the country, our own particular internet is erratic, at best,” he said. “We are at the end of the line for our network, so our signal is erratic. Sometimes, we have it and sometimes we don’t, and usually it’s weak.

It’s a challenge, and that’s the dichotomy. Just because we are in an affluent community, we still don’t have the ideal internet. It’s not just strictly a rural issue.

“We live on the edge of a black hole. Between us and Eagletown, there’s a space none of the carriers want to go into.”

ESSAY New language

LETTER End modern slavery

Commentary by Terry Anker Some among us are blessed to have mastered two or more languages. Those lucky ones start, as do we all, with a native tongue but they build from there. It could be the result of desire to travel, learn or even communicate, directly and simply. It could be the result of required academic or professional proficiency. Or, it could be the result of the physical limitations of geography where our latitude and longitude require more of us to survive and flourish daily.

The level of education, wealth or aptitude have little bearing on those who develop the skill. In the rows of gold-corded honors graduates, none would be without a second or third language on their resumes. Still, in tourist markets from Istanbul to Beijing to Mexico City to Manhattan, peddlers call out in nearly as many languages as there are faces in the crowd, eager to catch the attention of would-be customers in their own tongue.

They study pop culture, food and other non-verbal peculiarities to better use the acquired vernacular.

It seems that words alone are not complete.

In fact, many communicate without words. Symbols, logos and pantomime are used as ample expression. Culture itself can stand without voice, and information technology has developed and nourished countless other “languages,” all designed for increasing efficiency. Each word finds an equal yet entirely different counterpart, and they do improve our ability to connect with each other. But, are we on a path to rebuild the Tower of Babel? Or, are we rightly seeking to regain the bond between all humans lost as we scattered the earth?

Apology for appalling bug Commentary by Danielle Wilson I committed the cardinal sin of motherhood the other day by becoming sick. I know! How could I have possibly been so selfish, so uncaring, so clearly unconcerned HUMOR with the needs of my husband and children? And I didn’t even give anyone a heads-up. On Tuesday I was fine, and then on Wednesday, I was down for the count. My apologies, family.

I think I had typhoid fever. That may sound melodramatic, but I had just taken my first dose of the live vaccine (headed to Southeast Asia in a few weeks; hopefully, plenty of exotic tales forthcoming!), and in rare cases, one can experience symptoms.

For me, it was nausea, fatigue, headache and intense stomach cramps. At my lowest point, I was dry-heaving in my oldest son’s disgusting toilet, and then crawling my way back upstairs to bed, only to writhe in pain every time my intestines seized.

By the second day of my inconsiderate

illness, I was able to remain downstairs on the couch. My kids would stare at me and inquire as to my “condition,” then promptly ask if I had gone to the grocery or what was for dinner. When I merely glared back, pale and weak, their general response was one of exasperation and a “Jeeze, mom, you picked a terrible time to catch a bug, I’m hungry!” expression.

Doo wasn’t much better. Sure, I got the requisite spousal “there, there’s,” but no true sympathy. The prevalent atmosphere at Chez Wilson was definitely, “Could you please hurry up and get better? We have a summer to enjoy!”

My apologies, family, for succumbing to typhoid. It won’t happen again.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

— Ernest Hemingway

Editor, Everyone deserves to be free, but more than 40 million people are trapped in slavery today. On June 20, the U.S. State Dept. released the 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report. The TIP Report sheds light on this hidden crime and ranks 187 nations, including the U.S., on their efforts to combat it.

As Gary Haugen, CEO of International Justice Mission, says, “Nothing happens just because we are aware of modern-day slavery, but nothing will ever happen until we are.”

With the truth out there for all to see, we can no longer look away. Our members of Congress have the chance to rise above the partisan bickering of the day and recommit themselves to protecting the integrity of the TIP Report and the American-led programs that help rescue slaves and put their perpetrators behind bars.

We’re counting on you, lawmakers, to use your voice and tip the scales toward justice. If we can summon sufficient political courage, we can end slavery in our lifetime.

Andrea Pulice, Westfield

If we can summon sufficient political courage, we can end slavery in our lifetime.

Taking corrective steps Commentary by Dick Wolfsie For Father’s Day, my son bought me one of those watches that tracks your daily steps, monitors your heartbeat HUMOR and I think it can tell you the correct time, but I haven’t gotten that far in the directions.

In order for it to record steps, your arms have to swing back and forth. I spent half an hour in Kroger the other day pushing my cart, but it showed I had not taken a single step because my hands were grasping the cart’s handle. I was so frustrated, I just started flapping my arms like a bird. The manager must have assumed I didn’t speak English because he led me over to the roasted chickens.

A story in Prevention magazine said that the idea of 10,000 steps per day, the conventional goal often cited as a guideline, has no scientific basis. Apparently, someone just made this number up. It’s probably the same guy who made up eight glasses of water a day and eight hours of sleep. I have always questioned the three-meals-a-day concept, so I’ve gone to five, which at least involves moving my right arm a lot more.

When I looked at my watch this morning, I had walked 1,267 steps while I was asleep.

The cookie jar was empty and someone had mowed the lawn in the middle of the night.

Two Ambien before bed might be one more than I need.

Personally, I think I get plenty of walking in each day. Here are a few examples from just this past week: • I walked to the mailbox to get the cheesecake I ordered from a NY deli.

• I walked from the living room where I was taking a nap to the bedroom to get a good night’s sleep.

• I walked from the pro shop to my golf cart.

• I walked into the garage several times to get in my car.

I plan to walk to my office every day. It’s not my fault I work out of my house, but it’s at least taking steps in the right direction.

CHAMBER CONDUCTS BUSINESS AFTER-HOURS EVENT

DISPATCHES Fireworks damage may not be covered by insurance — According to the Indiana Dept. of Insurance, property damage as a result of fireworks gone wrong may not be covered under homeowners or renters insurance policies. Many insurance policies contain provisions disclaiming coverage for illegal acts committed by the insured. However, consumers who experience property damage due to another person’s use of fireworks may be able to claim benefits under their homeowners or renters policy. In 2017, according to the Indiana Dept. of Homeland Security, 77 percent of all reported firework injuries occurred from July 1-7, and 39.5 percent of all firework injuries occurred on July 4. Firework use on private property accounted for 61.3 percent of reported injury cases.

David Weekley homes team members renovate Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center’s Resource Center David Weekley Homes recently partnered with 19 local nonprofit organizations across the country through the company’s CARE Build Month projects.

In Indianapolis, the project benefitted Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center, a community resource dedicated to aiding adults, youth and families with before and after school care, summer camp, employment coaching, finance classes and more. Approximately 26 Weekley team members from the company’s Indianapolis team volunteered 246 hours to transform and rebuild the facility’s Resource Center.

This project provided a new space for clients to have access to computers, telephone and fax services, the internet and copy machines. This renovated area will give clients the opportunity to search for jobs, work on projects and create resumes.

“It’s so great to see what a difference a day can make and how many lives can be impacted in such a short time,” said Kim Cantou, a sales consultant with David Weekley Homes.

The project was an initiative of the company’s CARE program, which is a charitable and volunteer program that partners team members, homeowners, homebuyers and community partners with nonprofits to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone it touches and in all the communities it builds through its purpose, Building Dreams, Enhancing Lives. This is accomplished by company team members volunteering countless hours to different organizations in their communities and

by The David Weekley Family Foundation donating more than $200 million to a variety of organizations through the U.S. and abroad over the past 20 years.

Carmel Community Players’ production centers on USS Indianapolis

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This role fits into Tim Latimer’s background quite nicely.

Latimer, a retired HamMUSICAL ilton Southeastern Junior High School history teacher, is playing Captain Charles McVay III in the Carmel Community Players’ production of “Failure to Zig Zag: The Story of the USS Indianapolis.” He taught Latimer eighth-grade history for 32 years.

“Rarely does a play come along where it’s based on fact,” said Latimer, an Indianapolis resident. “As a history teacher, this is right up my alley.”

McVay’s ship was sunk by a Japanese submarine after delivering components for the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.

“There aren’t many roles for a guy in my age group,” Latimer said. “I’m supposed to be a guy that is like 48, so I’m past that.”

Carmel Community Players will present the play July 19 to 28 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

Latimer said he knew a little about the history of the USS Indianapolis, which was sunk July, 30, 1945 in the Philippine Sea. Of the 1,195 men on the ship, approximately 300 died in the attack. The remaining 890 survived the initial sinking, but only 316 survived the four-day ordeal in shark-infested water. The other fatalities were the result of shark attacks, exposure, dehydration and saltwater poisoning. The 879 fatalities were the single-greatest loss of life in U.S. Navy history.

McVay was court-martialed and found responsible for his failure to zig zag to avoid torpedoes, but the punishment was put aside. McVay, who committed suicide in 1968, was later exonerated after support by USS Indianapolis survivors.

This role perfectly suits Jordan Flora.

The Ball State University student plays Domina in “A Funny Thing PLAY Happened on the Way to the Forum” at Red Barn Summer Theatre in Frankfort.

“It is a very enjoyable role because it is a character that is very much in my wheelhouse,” said Flora, who is from Frankfort and is performing with Red Barn for the sixth season. “She has a very strong, bold personality, and those are my favorite types of roles to play.”

The performances will be July 11 to 14 and July 16 to 21. The shows are set for 8 p.m., except for Sunday matinees, which are at 2 p.m.

“It is a very funny show and we have a very funny cast, a cast of comedians, which I think the show needs,” said Michael Taylor, who is directing the musical.

The production, which debuted on Broadway in 1962, is inspired by the farces of ancient Roman Plautus. The music and lyr-

ics are by Stephen Sondheim.

It is Red Barn artistic director Taylor’s first time working on the musical.

“Of Stephen Sondheim shows, this is definitely one of my favorites.

I’ve always enjoyed this one and ‘Sweeney Todd,” Taylor said. “It’s a bigger cast (16) for the Barn, but not the biggest that we have had out there.

One of the biggest challenges of the show is the set having Flora the three full houses on stage, so this year we plan to actually build two houses that extend into the audience.”

Taylor said the audience should experience “a night of silliness, catchy tunes and lots of laughter.”

Taylor had to conduct rehearsals for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” while directing “A Thousand Clowns,” which was scheduled to end its run July 7.

Ticket are $14 for students and $20 for adults. There will be a special family night July 16. For more, call the box office at 765659-1657 or visit redbarntheatre.net.

DISPATCHES DeVoe concert rescheduled — Jennie DeVoe’s performance in the Cool Creek Concert Series has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. July 26 at Cool Creek Park in Westfield. The performance was originally scheduled for June 21 but was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Indy Shorts lineup set — Heartland Film, Inc., an innovator in the film industry, recently announced the film lineup for the upcoming Indy Shorts International Film Festival (Indy Shorts), Indianapolis’ only short film festival and an Academy Award-qualifying event.

Indy Shorts will exclusively feature films less than 40 minutes in length, and it will be held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields July 25 to 28. Of notable significance are the Indiana Spotlight short films, which showcase talented filmmakers from the Hoosier state.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 4907 N. College Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Negiyaki Price: $13 Anna’s take: Well, folks, I’ve saved the best At the Table with Anna column for last.

This week will be my last food review, but food reviews will continue with Current, so keep an eye out for those. Ukiyo utilizes seasonal produce and fish in its dishes, and

the small-plates menu changes frequently.

I sampled several small plates, but my absolute favorite was the Negiyaki, a savory leek-and-onion pancake topped with ginger miso sauce, a sunny egg and katsuobushi, which is dried, fermented and smoked tuna.

Don’t knock it until you try it. I also tried the sudachi marinated cucumbers ($8), the daily tsukemono ($5), which is a mix of pickles and fermented vegetables, and several sushi rolls, all of which were phenomenal.

For dessert, I tried the hoji-cha milkshake, which is roasted green tea, milk syrup and Graeter’s ice cream for $5.

Suggested pairings: Any sake will do, but I also tried one of the bartender’s specialty drinks, the Jammy Dodger. Opt for a sparkling sake to start.

Behind bars: The Cherry Blossom Get it at The Lemon Bar, Zionsville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Eighth Day Distillery Gin, .5 oz. rose and vanilla red tea infused vermouth, .5 oz. fresh lemon juice, .5 oz. Luxardo cherry syrup, .5 oz. simple syrup Directions: Shake ingredients and strain into a champagne glass. Top with soda water and garnish with a Luxardo cherry.

Setting up the setup Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

City Palace of Udaipur at Night. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Palace and the princess Commentary by Don Knebel The City Palace of Udaipur is the largest palace in Rajasthan, an Indian state named for its rajas (kings). The palTRAVEL ace was the site of a tragedy involving a beautiful princess and a cup of poison.

Maharana (or Maharaja) Udai Singh II, a Hindu ruler in northwest India, decided to move the capital of his empire to a site more resistant to Mughal attacks. In 1553, he began building a granite and marble palace and administrative center on a ridge above Lake Pichola, created in 1362 to provide water for area residents. During the next 400 years, 21 succeeding maharanas of the Mewar Dynasty continued building on the site, named Udaipur after its founder, eventually creating a complex of 11 palaces encompassing 5 acres. The palaces are linked by an elaborate façade more than 800 feet long, featuring cupolas, balconies and turrets, and are connected internally by winding passageways designed to thwart attackers.

In 1810, Princess Krishna Kumari, the 16-year-old daughter of Maharana Bhim

Singh, a descendant of Udai Singh, killed herself in the palace by ingesting poison to prevent a fierce rivalry between her suitors from turning into a war that would destroy her father’s empire. Notwithstanding her sacrifice, Bhim Singh was soon forced to relinquish sovereignty to the British in exchange for their protection. When India gained its independence in 1947, members of the Mewer family retained ownership of the Udaipur City Palace, where some family members still reside. The family converted portions of the palace into luxury hotels and opened other sections to tours. Among the areas open to the public are the colorful Mor Chowk (Peacock Courtyard), featuring beautiful mosaics of peacocks made from thousands of pieces of green, blue and gold glass, and the exquisitely furnished Krishna Vilas room, said to be where Krishna Kumari died.

DISPATCH 5 ways to increase your home value — New homeowners are full of ideas about how they will make their new house a home, but one thing they probably aren’t thinking about is how they can increase the resale value. Which home improvements have the best chance of increasing the value a home? According to FamilyHandyman. com, there are five: 1. Updating the kitchen or bath with new hardware, lighting, tile and backsplash, etc.

2. Increase curb appeal with a new front

door, accent lighting and landscaping.

3. Update lighting throughout the house.

4. Use the right paint colors. One study found that homes with dark-painted doors sell for more.

5. Improve the thermal envelope. This can include any project that will keep temperature regulated in the home, like new windows, sealing exterior walls around pipes and other openings, adding insulation and properly venting the attic.

I don’t attend many movies with groups anymore. Part of that is a life stage issue — most of my friends GRAMMAR GUY are married and have small kids. It’s hard to justify the added babysitter expense if we want to go out for the evening.

Before that, I was always the guy who arrived early. Because of my promptness, I ended up saving seats for the whole group.

As the minutes ticked on, I had to fend off more people who also wanted “middle” of the theater. The anxiety of saving six to eight seats for my friends who were chronically five minutes late ended up being too much for me; I did not like this setup one bit.

That brings me to the crux of today’s grammar guidance: What’s the difference between “setup” and “set up”?

Let’s start with “setup.” Use setup (or set-up) as either a noun or an adjective.

As a noun, setup means the arrangement or organization of something. For example, “The camera setup was all wrong, so the director kept adjusting the shot.”

As an adjective, setup gets used often

in technology situations: Go to the setup screen to change your network settings.

As a verb, use “set up.” I set up my friend Byron with his new job answering phones at the conspiracy theory hotline.

We set up our robot so it would never attack humans. Think about it this way: The verb version of the word spreads out. It is in motion; it stretches and moves. The noun version (setup or set-up) is compact.

Interestingly, you can apply this same model (noun and adjective vs. verbs) to other sets of words. Some include workout and work out, makeup and make up, dropout and drop out and checkout and check out. When used as a noun or an adjective, these words are either one word or one word with a hyphen; when used as a verb, these words are two words.

Now that movie theaters have a different setup (with seats you reserve ahead of time), I don’t have to be so upset all the time.
