It’s what motivates us to pursue new ways for you to access healthcare that are more flexible, more common sense, more transparent, and more human. A sympathetic ear, in person or online. A helping hand at hospitals across town, and at clinics right down the street.

If this all feels like a pretty different approach to healthcare, that’s because it is. Fact is, when you’re surrounded by Community, you’re never alone.

2 more candidates interested in Fifth District seat

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Two candidates announced plans in the last two weeks to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana’s ELECTION Fifth District.

Christina Hale, a former Democratic state representative from Indianapolis, announced her candidacy July 11, and Ken Tucker, a stay-at-home dad and former teacher from Westfield, hasn’t officially filed to run but said he plans to soon.

U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, Hale a Republican, is retiring when her term ends in 2020. Previously, Dee Thornton, a Democrat from Carmel, Jennifer Christie, a Democrat from Indianapolis, and Micah Beckwith, a Republican from Noblesvile, announced their intentions to run for the open seat.

Hale represented District 87 in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2016 and was John Gregg’s running mate in his unsuccessful bid for governor in 2016. In a previous campaign, she was endorsed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce – which typically supports Republicans – and the AFL-CIO, a labor organization that usually supports Democrats. She said she has developed a proven record for reaching across the aisle to get things done.

The Fifth District, which includes all or part of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties, has sent a Republican to Congress in every election since it was formed in 2000, but Hale is among several Democrats who believe that

“Nobody expected me to win in 2012, but when you’re talking to people about things that really matter to them and they develop personal and professional trust in you, then people vote on the candidate rather than broader partisan habits,” she said.

Hale, 47, said her campaign will focus on access to affordable, high-quality health care, job creation and retaining talent in Indiana.

Hale has one son and lives in Broad Ripple with her husband and two dogs. She is executive director of youth programs at Kiwanis International but plans to soon Tucker begin campaigning full time.

Tucker, who spent 12 years as a teacher with Noblesville Schools, hasn’t decided whether he plans to run as an independent or through a party. He said he’s voted for Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians through the years and would bring an independent voice to Congress.

Tucker, 39, left his job in education to stay home with his two young daughters and said building a brighter future for them and other children he’s taught through the years inspired him to run.

“I’m going to try to do everything I can to give (my daughters) what they need moving forward,” he said.

Tucker said his campaign will focus on protecting the vulnerable, such as children and people with disabilities, and increasing green initiatives. He also wants to address education funding.

“In terms of fixing the funding we have at the state level, I want to get to a place where we don’t have to have individual districts Sikorski new CEO of The Wellington Group — The Wellington Group, an Indianapolis-based wealth management firm, recently announced Erin Sikorski as its new CEO. Sikorski resides in Zionsville.

‘NOT INTERESTED’ As candidates continue to announce plans to run for Congress in Indiana’s Fifth District, at least one official who previously considered the job will not enter the race.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he is “not interested” in running for Congress after recently Brainard winning a tough primary election to retain his position. He is unopposed in the general election.

“You can have a lot more impact on people’s lives (as mayor), and I committed to be mayor,” he said. “I’m anxious to get started on the next term.”

In 2016, Brainard said he’d consider the possibility of heading to Congress after U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks announced she was interested in becoming governor after former Gov. Mike Pence became Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election. Brooks was not selected to replace Pence, which led to her Congressional seat not becoming available at that time.

Brainard spoke highly of the work accomplished by Brooks, who recently announced she will retire at the end of her term.

“Susan has done a wonderful job representing the citizens of this area,” Brainard said. “She has spoken out on a number of issues of importance.” pass referenda every two or three years,” Tucker said.

Life coach advises women at chamber event

By Jarred Meeks news@currentzionsville.com A business life coach told a group of women at the Boone County Chamber’s July 23 Women PROGRAM Inspiring Women program that “busy” is a word she wants to challenge.

Halle Simpson said the word implies thought patterns associated with anxiety, of which more than 40 million suffer from in the United States, according to The Anxiety and Depression Association of America, a condition twice as likely to affect women than men.

“We’re more connected than ever,” Simpson said. “We have ways to make our lives more efficient, more productive and we are driving ourselves crazy. We are busier in some seasons of life more than others, but it’s healthy to stand up and go, ‘Where is the margin? Where is the self-care? What are you trying to sustain long-term in your life that just isn’t possible?’”

Simpson, speaking at The Cardinal

Room at the Golf Club of Indiana, said taking pride in being busy only results in multi-tasking that robs women of their ability to focus on their most important tasks. For her, busy is a reactive word.

Simpson recommended proactive measures and practicing in what she calls a “brain dump.” She instructed the women to write down whatever takes up mental real estate in their brain, whether it be their most important task of the day or little stresses that compound through time.

Simpson encouraged transforming individual concerns into achievable goals while learning to delegate less significant concerns to others.

Lee Irwin, an Edward Jones Financial advisor and steering committee member at the chamber, said the goal of the chamber’s Women Inspiring Women programs is to give women in different stages of their careers practical advice and encouragement that anyone can benefit from. The program also encourages women to be leaders, personally and professionally.

Woman sentenced for gun purchase news@currentzionsville.com An Indianapolis woman has been sentenced to 13 months in federal prison for an illegal purchase of a handgun CRIME that was used in the murder of Boone County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jacob Picket in March 2018.

U.S. Attorney Josh J. Minkler announced the sentencing of Dawn Love Rochon, 30, July 23. Rochon was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James R. Sweeney at the federal courthouse in Indianapolis.

On Feb. 28, 2017, Rochon purchased a Taurus PT709 9mm handgun from Indy Gun Bunker, a gun store in Indianapolis. Rochon provided a false statement on the federal form about her residential address. Since the false statement violated federal law, Rochon’s acquisition of the Taurus handgun was illegal.

On March 2, 2018, Anthony Baumgardt shot and killed Pickett using the Taurus handgun. Baumgardt has since pled guilty to Pickett’s murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

“When firearms are illegally purchased, possessed or sold, it’s never for a good reason and the results are often tragic,” Minkler stated. “Judge Sweeney sent a loud and clear message that gun violence will not be tolerated in the Southern District of Indiana and those who illegally acquire firearms will be held accountable.”

Upon her release from prison, Rochon must serve three years of supervised release.

The case was the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Indiana State Police and the Boone County Sheriff’s Dept.

Wall of friendship Commentary by Ward Degler A few miles northwest of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is the sleepy town of Waipahu. When I lived there, we would PLAIN TALK drive past the town to spend Sunday afternoons on a beautiful, mostly undiscovered beach.

There, I would drive my battered Renault Dauphine down to the water’s edge, unload the kids, spread the blanket and open the car hood where I kept the ice and beer.

On Mondays, at work, I often spoke in glowing terms about our latest beach adventure with whomever happened to be sitting nearby in the cafeteria. One such person was Joe Amano, a welder at the shipyard. Joe was fourth- or maybe fifthgeneration Hawaiian. He couldn’t remember for sure.

One Monday, Joe handed me a piece of paper. On it was an address in Waipahu.

“Tha’s my address,” he said, “Nex’ Sunday you come for a luau with the Amanos. We look for you.”

The next Sunday I drove to the address Joe had given me. He was sitting on the stoop waiting for us.

The house was small and old and all the

windows and doors were wide open. An avalanche of kids materialized from somewhere and pulled my kids from the car.

“Hey, come, we show you,” they yelled.

On the ground at Joe’s feet was a trough of mortar and a couple of trowels. “Hey,” Joe yelled, “le’s build this wall.”

For the next two hours, Joe, the kids and I built a brick wall next to his front porch.

When we finished, he handed each kid a nail and told them to write their names on one of the bricks.

Then, he ushered all of us around the house to the backyard where tables were overflowing with fruit, roasted chicken, fish, homemade bread and dishes I couldn’t identify. Joe spread his bulk out on the lawn with a beer in his hand and smiled.

“Ever body come here help build our house,” he said. “Always been. You come, too, and now you are part of the Amano home. Always will be.”

Human Relations Commission encourages education on diversity

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Whitestown is renowned for its rapid growth. But it also is becoming known for its diverse population, a distinction town officials want to celebrate.

COVER STORY Whitestown Director of Public Relations Tanya Sumner said the 2016 special census by the U.S. Census Bureau showed Whitestown’s population more than doubled from 2,867 in 2010 to 7,814 in November 2016. The average resident age dipped to 30.7 and, moreover, the number of white households dropped to 83.8 percent, which is below the state average of Sumner 85.8 percent. The black population doubled to 5.4 percent between 2010 and 2016 and the Asian population more than doubled to 6.4 percent.

Sumner said the town estimates its population has increased to approximately 10,000 residents since 2016 and expects it to grow to 12,000 by the time of the 2020 census.

To foster diversity (race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.), Whitestown was one of the first communities in central Indiana to pass a human relations ordinance, which created the Human Relations Commission in April 2015.

The commission’s most recent event was Whitestown Diversity Day July 20.

“The whole motto of the commission itself is to be inclusive of everyone,” commission member Vishnu Priya said.

“We welcome everyone, and that’s really what we are going for, different cultural backgrounds.”

WHITESTOWN FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS CELEBRATION Among the Whitestown Human Relations Commission’s upcoming events is the Nov. 2 Whitestown Festival of Lights Celebration at the Whitestown Municipal Complex. The third annual event will offer traditional Indian cuisine, a history of what a Festival of Lights celebration is and more. Details are still being planned.

Organizations represented at Diversity Day included ACLU Indiana, the Indianapolis Urban League, the Japan-American Society of Indiana, Special Olympics of Boone County, Indiana Pride of Color and GenderNexus, among others.

“Basically, we are trying to say everybody is welcome to live here,” Priya said. “It’s a small-knit community and Whitestown does a great job trying to be inclusive of everyone.”

Commission member Keisha Forrest said the goal of Diversity Day is to educate the public.

“A lot of times, people are misinformed or uninformed about different opportunities or different cultural backgrounds,” Forrest said. “(The event) gives resources to get more familiar with other ethnicities.”

The Human Relations Commission wants to grow the event and encourage more vendors to participate. Although this was the first year for Diversity Day, the commission has conducted several other events, mostly forums, to promote and celebrate diversity.

For example, the group conducted a forum for Pride Month in June. For Black History Month, the commission invited speakers to conduct a public Q&A forum.

“There was dialogue, and some necessary dialogue, in my opinion,” Forrest said.

For 2020 Black History Month, Forrest said the commission plans to have a local playwright stage a play at the Whitestown Municipal Complex.

ESSAY Straight answers

LETTER Recycle and reuse

Commentary by Terry Anker Used cars and cellphones oddly fit into the same category of being simultaneously useful, to the point of essential, while being exceedingly difficult to purchase. To be entirely clear, it is not too hard to walk to the counter and ask for a phone, sign a paper or two and walk out with a working device.

The problem comes in understanding what, exactly, it is that one has agreed to pay.

Forever phones, leases, tradeins, trade-ups, switch-over deals, loyalty offers – wow! We are looking for a reliable device to get text messages from our kids when basketball practice is over, but we must become an expert in fine-print and wholly Byzantine exceptions, fees, upcharges, expansion packs and extended warranties.

So, we modern humans turn to the web. We look for more digestible offers without the endless double-speak of hyper-competitive sales folks effectively trained to pick our pockets. Like some updated Artful Dodger puppeted by Oliver Twist’s wicked Fagin, they descend on us, knowing little of the harm they cause as they themselves try to survive. So, the relative calm of internet surfing in our own homes leads to false security that any of a dozen or so prominent sites offer a secure and “transparent” place to make a purchase.

We chat with the sales teams.

They cut and pivot, always coming back to their own required script.

For the tough questions, we are directed to “call,” not email. Is it really for clarity, or is it to simply to loosen up the definition of “the truth” a bit? Why is it so hard to get a straight answer?

As a mother of four who has sat through more of these than I care to recall, please allow me to share some advice.

Don’t ask stupid questions! The old saying, “There are no stupid questions” is true only for children. It does not apply to adults in a meeting. There are, absolutely, stupid questions. Here are three of the most common: • Any question you ask before the end, after being told to hold all questions to the end. Teachers are professionals.

They’ll have anticipated almost everything you want to know.

• Any question you ask after the teacher has already shared the answer.

There is nothing more annoying than

Mr. Gallagher having to back up his PowerPoint two slides just for you.

• That question about the special exemption that your child will need because she is co-president of the state 4-H this year and will probably miss several exams to organize goat and squash competitions (true story): If posed through an email or after the official presentation, this question is of course not stupid. But to waste the time of everyone in the room with such a specific, applies-only-to-your-family, passive-aggressive “my kid is awesomest!” query is ridiculous and frankly rude. We’ve got places to be, lady!

For the sake of parents everywhere, listen and heed! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

-Steve Jobs

Editor, I remember in the 1970s a newspaper story about a young college girl hiking in the woods noticed all of the trash thrown about. She was dismayed and decided to do something about it, which resulted in recycling trash, such as plastic, glass and aluminum cans. As a young child, I recall appliances and old vehicles being dumped over hillsides in the country. That made an ugly scene.

From that time period, we have grown to accepting recycling along with reusing and repurposing. Cities and towns have added recycle bins along with trash pickup.

Public announcements and Indiana legislative newsletters also are in the activity of protecting citizens from the harm of use of someone else’s unused prescription drugs.

Take-back days are offered to dispose of these unused drugs. What is missing is a “buy-back” of unused prescription drugs by the pharmaceutical companies. Nowhere have I seen or heard a statement of a buy-back.

Pharmaceutical companies can afford to buy back previously purchased unused drugs. They could offer a percentage of the original price per pill in its original container. This buy-back would stop illegal sales.

I recommend a mandate that pharmaceutical companies must buy back unused prescription drugs instead of free take-backs.

Mari Briggs, Sheridan

One ticket, please Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife just took a two-week vacation — without me. Hmmm, maybe that’s redundant. Anyway, in an attempt HUMOR to amuse myself one night, I went to see a movie.

“One ticket, please.”

The young lady looked at me like I was a lost puppy. Suddenly, I felt very self-conscious. An elderly couple behind me smiled. Then, I saw them whispering.

What were they saying?

Flashback to that morning. Mary Ellen informed me she wouldn’t be home until late that evening. I’d already planned to spend the day at home to catch up on some work and maybe take a couple of two-hour naps.

I had never gone to a movie alone in my entire life. How hard could it be? Selecting a movie, for example, had always been easy.

It usually went something like this: “Mary Ellen, let’s go see ‘Shaft.’”

“Oh, a movie sounds nice. But let’s see ‘Rocketman’ instead.”

“OK.” That was simple enough. Then, I’d pick a time.

“Let’s catch the cheaper matinee at 5 p.m., Mary Ellen.”

“No, let’s go at 7 so I don’t have to rush home from work.”

This time, I was on my own. I walked into the theater. But where to sit? It was always an instant decision. “Let’s sit up front, Mary Ellen”.

“No, that’s too close. Let’s sit in the middle.”

“OK. Can we sit in the center of the row, so I don’t have to turn my neck?”

“No, let’s sit on the aisle, so it’s easier for you to get us more popcorn.”

Now, I was without my consultant. There was only one other person watching “Yesterday” that afternoon and I needed someone to explain the movie to me. Plus, I felt sorry for the guy. He was all alone. When I sat down next to him, he moved six rows down. So much for being friendly.

I was glad when Mary Ellen got home.

I have depended on her since we walked down the aisle together in 1980…to see “Kramer vs. Kramer.”

DISPATCHES Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quarters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged.

Source: Finder.com Facility fee is hidden health care charge — Facility fees are one of the biggest ripoffs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care

consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa.. Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors. The hospital industry defends these “gotcha” charges by saying the patient is receiving better care because the facility has all the hospital’s resources behind it. Now, with off-campus, hospital-owned urgent-care centers and medical practices growing in huge numbers these facility fees are becoming much more common.

Carmel residents star in ‘Flipping Exes’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Nina Klemm and Michael LeSure make for unusual business partners.

The Carmel residents TELEVISION dated for a stretch of time they can’t even agree on, yet decided to form a houseflipping business three years ago called Flipping Exes.

The Bravo network saw the potential for a reality show on their home design and real estate business. “Flipping Exes!” debuts at 10 p.m. Aug. 6 on Bravo. The first season has seven episodes in which the couple finds homes in need of repair or redesign and turns them around to sell.

“I feel the viewers are going to see the dynamic that we do genuinely, sincerely care about each other,” Klemm said. “I’m very upfront and dramatic because I do have a big personality. The dynamic of him dealing with that is pure comedy in itself sometimes. We get on each other’s nerves and there is a lot of drama because we are two completely different people.

But at the end of the day, Michael and I do care about each other. I don’t think I’ll kill him, in the meantime.”

LeSure, who is a financier who oversees construction, said the fact they have different personalities creates a balance.

The partners do some of their house flipping in Carmel, which Klemm described in a show promo as “Beverly Hills of the Midwest” and “a real estate gold mine.”

The Flipping Exes business started after Klemm and LeSure broke up.

“The show follows our overall process of how we acquire houses, develop a budget and Nina’s role in beautifying a house,” he said.

Klemm has been a licensed Realtor for 10 years.

“My experience has really helped our flipping business. Working with buyers day-in and day-out really helps me transfer visions of what a client is looking for into a home,” Klemm said. “I had flipped a few houses before Michael even entered my life. Being a Realtor was my primary job and I would (flip homes) on the side, one or two a year, starting in 2011.”

Carmel Film Forum set editorial@youarecurrent.com The 2019 Carmel Film Forum, “Making the Big Picture, Preproduction and Crowdfunding,” is set for Aug. 10. The third annual event will offer three workshops and a screening of films by Midwest women filmmakers.

The event kicks off with the first workshop at Carmel Clay Public Library at 12:30 p.m. Following a table read, Eric Wayne Key, founder of Digipitch, will demonstrate his free online screenwriting and film-pitching software at 3:30 p.m.

Rachel Murphy, a professional line producer based in Indiana, takes the stage at 4 p.m. She will show how to break down a film’s budget to reflect real-life costs of producing a feature film.

The evening session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will focus on the screening of four short movies made by midwestern women filmmakers. A Q&A will follow.

Admission is free thanks to a grant from the city of Carmel. Participants will receive a printed curriculum. For more, visit moriartymedia.com/carmelfilmforum.

The vision isn’t always shared.

“As you will see in the show, Michael and I definitely don’t see eye to eye 99.9 percent of the time,” Klemm said However, LeSure said Klemm’s vision usually wins out.

“I do feel like I have to reel her in a lot and let her know we are in business to make money,” LeSure said. “But her vision in terms of what she wants the house to eventually look like, I feel she definitely wins on that. She has a good eye and knows what is current and relevant.

Budget-wise, she doesn’t win out on that all the time because there are things that just don’t make sense in terms of what she wants to do with a house and it being economically sound.”

Klemm said she met LeSure when he was a Sunday school teacher for her sons.

One thing the two can’t even agree on is how long they dated.

“Depends on who you ask. Michael forgot to tell me we were broken up, so my time frame and his are a little different,” Klemm said. “Maybe six months different,

but we make it work.”

LeSure said there was clear documentation of communication.

“Let’s disagree to disagree,” said Klemm, who said she believed they dated more than a year and LeSure thinks it was less.

LeSure said seeing the finished home product will appeal to the TV audience.

“Our dynamic, how we interact, should have some appeal and I feel Nina has a dynamic personality, which is a draw,” LeSure said.

Klemm said listening to her clients helps her understand how to do the flips.

“Every episode I talk what buyers are looking for and why they are looking for it,” she said. “When we flip, I try to incorporate everything a buyer is looking for in that flip.”

LeSure estimates they have flipped 40 houses. The more dramatic flips are featured on the show, LeSure said.

“Some houses you can get at a decent price and just need minor things in terms of paint, carpet and counter tops,” he said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement for entertainment in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Located in Carmel’s Delaware Trace neighborhood, this home was built in 1997. The basement includes 526 square feet of finished living space.

THE CHALLENGE The basement initially had two entertainment areas and not much room for anything else. The homeowners were looking to expand the functionality of the basement to make it a space that family members and guests of all ages could enjoy.

THE SOLUTION 1. At the top of the wish list for these homeowners was a dry bar. Cabinetry with pull-out drawers holds an assortment of glasses and barware. The cabinetry also features a pullout wine rack that holds up to 20 bottles.

2. A fully tiled wall over the bar adds unmistakable style; a decorative wall covering adorns the opposite wall.

3. A custom, bar-height rolling table was built to provide a gathering space.

4. Luxury vinyl flooring offers the look of rustic pine with the benefit of being waterproof and scratch-resistant, just perfect for a basement!

5. The homeowners love to sing karaoke, so four platforms were built to serve as a movable stage.

Make mine a portmanteau Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We Americans love efficiency. We also become enamored with novGRAMMAR GUY elty — new things entertain us until there’s a new shiny object that tickles our fancy.

The language equivalent of efficiencymeets-novelty is the portmanteau. I’ll admit, when I first heard this word, I could’ve sworn it was a rustic wine village in the South of France. Portmanteau is a French word originally meaning “suitcase.” However, author Lewis Carroll introduces a new meaning for the word “portmanteau” in his book “Through the Looking-Glass.” Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice that new words made from two words being smashed together — like “slithy” (slimy and lithy) and “mimsy” (miserable and flimsy) — are like a portmanteau. There are two meanings packed up into one word.

I should note that “portmanteau” is itself a portmanteau: It combines the French words “porter” (to carry) and “manteau” (a cloak).

Why do I care to teach you about a French word that was redefined by a 19thcentury British author? Portmanteaus are fantastic, and they combine efficiency and novelty so well. The following are some of my favorite portmanteaus, which were all invented by someone who wanted to be cute and concise. You’ll find all of these words, by the way, in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: chillax (chill and relax), skort (skirt and shorts), smog (smoke and fog), turducken (turkey and duck and chicken), glamping (glamour and camping) bromance (brother and romance).

How about some new portmanteaus? I’ll offer up a few: flarf (a flag that can become a scarf), phowner (a person who owns a phone), roboat (a robot boat) and singull (a seagull that isn’t in a romantic relationship).

Perhaps creating a portmanteau that catches on is tougher than it seems. Inventing new words from existing words is fun. It keeps our language alive and vibrant. Send me an email or a tweet with any portmanteaus you create.

Napier: World’s Art Deco capital Commentary by Don Knebel Napier is one of New Zealand’s most visited cities. Much of its appeal is the result of the city’s response to a TRAVEL horrendous natural disaster.

Napier is on Hawke’s Bay along the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, about 200 miles northeast of Wellington, the nation’s capital. The Máoris, New Zealand’s original people, settled the area because of its natural harbor. By the 20th century, Napier had become an important port city, exporting a variety of agricultural products from nearby farms and ranches. On Feb. 3, 1931, a massive earthquake struck the Hawke’s Bay area, killing at least 256 people and destroying the commercial center of Napier. The earthquake also increased Napier’s elevation by at least 6 feet, creating about 15 square miles of new shoreline. Undaunted, residents of Napier almost immediately began rebuilding their downtown area.

Many of the new buildings incorporated the elegant and then popular architectural style later known as Art Deco.

Today, Napier, with a population of approximately 64,000, is still among New

Zealand’s busiest ports, exporting large quantities of wine, wood and wool. The Marine Parade, a picturesque seaside promenade, passes by the National Aquarium, an assortment of parks, a graceful Art Deco concert shell and the famous bronze statue of “Pania of the Reef,” a mermaid figure from Máori mythology and now the symbol of the city. But Napier’s popularity with visitors from around the world rests largely on the dozens of meticulously maintained Art Deco buildings in its downtown, considered to rank second (if at all)

FOOD TRUCKS NTS LOCAL RESTAURA KIDS ABERERE&AWINE Live music from

only to Miami Beach as the best collection of such structures in the world. Vintage buses and automobiles reinforce the nostalgic feel. Every February, Napier’s Art Deco Festival recreates the atmosphere of the 1920s and ’30s, nearly doubling the population of the city for almost a week.
