Burglars rob former Fishers National Bank in 1920 Commentary by Robert Bowling news@currentinfishers.com “Baby Face” Nelson. Harry Pierpont. John “Red” Hamilton. back in the day These were just a few members of the infamous Terror Gang led by Indiana native John Dillinger. They were responsible for a string of bank robberies that utilized force and violence. During the 1920s and ‘30s, the FBI saw a significant increase in bank robberies as a result of Prohibition and the Great
Depression. The Dillinger gang didn’t rob any banks in Hamilton County, but that didn’t stop other gangs that operated in the area. Although the Dillinger gang preferred violence, other gangs found it easier to rob banks after they were closed. Banks had alarm systems, but they were extremely primitive. They lacked surveillance cameras, dye packs or GPS devices used by modern banks. Therefore, banks had to ensure that the blast-proof vault would protect assets. In February 1920, the Fishers National Bank
was burglarized. The thiefs broke into the bank and successfully burned through the outer door of the bank vault. There was a small safe inside the vault, which they tried to burn through, as well, but were unsuccessful. They broke into three safety deposit boxes and took three revolvers, 7 cents and a typewriter. Five men, ages 18 to 21, operating as part of a gang were arrested in Indianapolis. It is worth noting that during this time, bank robbery was still a state crime. It was up to the local authorities and the banking
associations to investigate. It didn’t become a federal crime until 1935 with the creation of the FDIC. The vault did its job this time, but the next time, addressed in the next article in this series, would be different. Robert Bowling has been a Fishers police officer for 16 years. He is a school resource officer and is the Fishers Police Dept. historian. He has a love of history and enjoys sharing it with others. He recently wrote the script and performed in the “Battle of Mudsock” re-enactment.

Hamilton County seeks smoke-free environment By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Stacy London has had a busy first 13 months as the Breathe Easy alliance Hamilton County program coordinator. London said Breathe Easy accomplished several things in 2018, including surveying 66 stores’ point of sales to collect data on how tobacco products are being marketed to youth, participated in 18 community events to promote Breathe Easy’s message and engaged with five different youth organizations. The organization held eight “Schooling not Juuling” presentations. Juuling is a form of vaping, using an e-cigarette resembling a flash drive. It can be charged in a laptop’s USB port. “All the kids think e-cigarettes are safer, but safer does not mean safe,” London said during a Dec. 13 meeting at Westfield Washington Public Library. “I would love to get into the high schools to talk about this.” London, a Westfield resident, lists the organization’s four priorities as decrease youth

smoking rates; decrease exposure to secondhand smoke; decrease adult smoking rates; and build a coalition of community partners. London’s organization, which is part of an alliance of area organizations and individuals, is aiming for smoke-free air in buildings. The organization also is pushing the state legislature for a $2 tax increase on tobacco products. London encouraged others to email support for the tax to their state representative and senator.

It’s better from a traffic perspective.” Fadness also said parallel roads, like North and South streets, allow traffic to move east and west without being on 116th Street. Fadness also said the coordination of traffic signals along 116th Street has helped with traffic flow. Demolition in the area will begin in the spring, but Fadness said he expects heavy construction on the development to begin in the fall. Construction also will bring infrastructure improvements to address drainage and utility relocation on South Street. There will be improvements to sidewalks and a South Street extension from Fishers Point Boulevard to Lantern Road. Right-turn only lanes will be installed on South Street at Lantern Road and on Lantern Road at 116th Street. The project should be complete by fall 2021.
what to expect with the new development The north side: Browning Investments and CRG Residential will build a five-story apartment building with 241 units, 10 townhomes, office and retail units along 116th, North and Maple streets. The city plans to build a 256-space parking garage here. The existing Pocket Park will be relocated into a plaza-gathering space. There are historical buildings in this area of the proposed development, such as Nickel Plate Bar & Grill, Roman and Leo, Fishers Barber Shop, State Farm Insurance and the former Vardagen and Sure Shot Coffee storefront. These will all be preserved, but the exteriors and landscaping will be rehabilitated. The south side: A 168,000-squarefoot, six-story office building with retail on the ground floor will be constructed on the south side of the development. A 110-room, high-end boutique hotel and a parking garage also will locate here. The city plans to build a 750-space parking garage on the south side.

‘Gotcha’ moments
Campbell cartoon rings true
Commentary by Terry Anker Perhaps it is our innate insecurity that drives it. Or, oddly enough, it could be an overblown sense of our own superiority that leads us perversely to hunger for it. Regardless of its genesis, whether an unrealistically low self-image or confidence maximus, we all seem to find the “gotcha” game to be irresistible. Film, literature, history and our own personal heritages are abundant with stories of our desire for the set-up and anticipated satisfaction of the impending fall. We bait friends, family, spouses, co-workers and others, all the time believing that we know that we can catch them in a supposed prevarication, equivocation or mistake. Certain in our own interpretation of circumstance, we feel deputized by the cosmos to prevent “them from getting away with it.” Then, as the target of our machinations comes to realize our clever and inescapable trap, we find a bit of joy in toying with them as they twist in the masterfully spun web. We seem mindless of the long-term, if not irreversible, damage done to our relationships. Folks lie. People make mistakes and banally cover them up. And humanity collectively, and each of us individually, is required by the social contract to hold other individuals, and ourselves, to a high standard of integrity. But is there another way? Do we have to set traps for those close to us like spies in the Cold War? Couldn’t we simply ask directly? Can we find a language to express our doubt in the veracity of other humans without hiring private detectives? If we have so little confidence in those around us, should we be spending our time seeking new acquaintances rather than orchestrating elaborate schemes? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.
Editor, Please tell Tim Campbell that his “The Kiddie Table” cartoon (published Nov. 20) was Hilarious, and oh so true! Every time I hear Trump’s name-calling (Pocahontas, Little Rocket Man, Crying Chuck, Crazy Bernie) I think, so childish. If he wants respect, he needs to show respect to others. Jayne Vaughn, Fishers
Keep up the good work
Have Caddy, will travel Commentary by Danielle Wilson People, get ready. I am preparing to leave for the ultimate road trip. My destination is St. Petersburg, Fla. My ride humor is a 2017, suped-up Caddy. And my companion? A 77-year-old retired judge, who I generally call “Dad.” That’s right, if everything goes as planned, by the time you are reading this, I will have survived New Year’s at the Valdosta Garden Inn. With my father. This turn of events began when Mom announced that because of a recent back issue, she would not be making their annual snowbird trip by car. Dad would still drive, though, because rentals are obscenely expensive and they need transportation as they frolic on the beach for two months while we suffer Old Man Winter like the fools we are. But the idea of Dad making the 14-hour trek alone was disconcerting, to say the least. So, like any good parent, I volunteered my teenagers as tribute.
Despite substantial bribery and the promise of a short vacay, I received hard passes all around. My four sisters, Doo and the local brother-in-law also bailed, claiming work and other stupid obligations. That left me, the teacher on holiday break. Though I had anticipated luxuriating in a full week of lazy mornings, puzzles and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” daughter guilt won out. So, I orchestrated some logistical witchcraft, thought briefly of getting a spray tan and then packed a bag. Let’s do this! Actually, I am excited. What better way to make memories than a road trip with your father? Over New Year’s! And of course, I intend to recount every glorious detail for you in my next column. Get ready! Peace out.

Sometime just before the afternoon of Dec. 24, 2018, diabolical human beings rearranged almost everything in my Kroger. humor The salad bar was gone (too much waste, they said), roasted chickens were no longer in their tantalizing display. The meat department was in the same place, but the king crab legs were where the flank steak used to be. The organic yogurt section was eliminated and combined with the regular yogurt. They’d never try that at Whole Foods. I wandered aimlessly with the shopping list Mary Ellen had given me. I stopped at the wine and beer department. I asked why they had changed everything. “Don’t ask me,” she said. “I’m just the wine lady.” “I know,” I said. “I am whining to you. I can’t find anything. Do you know where the cereal has been relocated?” “Oh, cereal is now next to the breakfast bars.” “That doesn’t help,” I explained.
There was a lot of conversation among customers — shoppers sharing moving stories of pickles they can no longer locate, kitty litter that has vanished. It was Jenny’s story that really tugged at my heartstrings. “It was 10 years ago when Joe and I first walked down the aisle together — aisle 7, to be exact,” she said. “We had so many fond memories of granola, Frosted Flakes and Raisin Bran. Now, those memories have been lost forever. Instead, it’s Heinz Ketchup and Hellmann’s Light Mayonnaise.” At the checkout counter, I saw Vickie, who has the hardest job.

dispatch Estate-planning moves to make now With the end of the year approaching, it’s time to take stock of your estate planning goals and review your documents. This year, the review should take account of changes brought about by the 2017 tax act which, among other things, increased the federal estate and gift tax exemptions. There also were some changes made by some states that might provide new opportunities. Perhaps the changes impacting most people in this area were the increase in the exemption to $11,180,000 (to increase to $11,400,000 in 2019), the $10,000 limitation
on state and local taxe and the elimination of miscellaneous itemized deductions such as investment expenses. Review your wills and other estate-planning documents to confirm that there are no changes needed due to the new tax law or changes in family situations (i.e. births, deaths, marriage, divorce) is also critical. The review should also include your beneficiary designations on IRAs and insurance policies as well as designations of executors, trustees and guardians. Source: BottomLineInc.com

Fishers filmmakers to screen documentary By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com When director Rocky Walls set out to make the documentary “Finding Hygge,” his first hurdle was documentary to define the term “hygge.” Seems the Danish word connoting happiness means something different to everybody. “One of the fun challenges for this film is that hygge doesn’t have a very good English translation, and it means different things to different people,” said Walls, cofounder of Fishers-based 12 Stars Media. “It’s not a specific thing you can do or buy or manufacture.” A Fishers resident, Walls and 12 Star Media co-founder Zach Downs, also of Fishers, made the 90-minute documentary to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their video production company. They chose the topic of hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) after visiting Copenhagen, Denmark, three years ago. Walls and Downs, who are co-executive producers, announced the project in April 2017. The film made its world premiere in March 2018 at the Sonoma International Film Festival in Sonoma, Calif. It was played at festivals throughout 2018 and was released on Vimeo On Demand in the U.S. and Canada in November 2018. Locally, “Finding Hygge” will be shown Jan. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Hamilton East Public Library, 5 Municipal Dr., Fishers. The filmmakers will discuss the project following the screening. Light refreshments will be served and guests can enter a drawing for a hygge basket — which again begs the question: What is hygge? Broadly defined, hygge is a state of happiness, comfort, coziness, joy, contentment in the moment. Narrowly defined, there is no English language parallel. But generally defined, it’s finding happiness in whatever makes you happy – typically in simple pleasures, such as spending time with friends, food, quiet time, etc. “It’s a mentality shift,” Walls said. “It’s a paradox, though, because while it takes effort to get into the right mindset, at the same time it requires no effort at all. Most

people have it, and once we know what to look for, we see it in ourselves. The problem is that we cover it up and cloud it with other things that don’t matter and don’t make us happy.” Walls and Downs discovered the concept of hygge, which has spawned international interest in recent years, upon their visit
to Denmark. They decided exploring the topic in film would be the ideal way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 12 Stars Media, a full-service video production company that provides strategy, preproduction, production, editing, 2-D and 3-D animation and color-grading services to corporations and nonprofits. “We noticed major cultural differences between Denmark and the United States,” Walls said. “The pace of life appeared much slower and more relaxed. How Danes spent their time together was a marked difference from Americans.” “Finding Hygge,” shot on a $250,000 production budget, was filmed in Denmark, England, Canada and the U.S. It will be available on DVD and Blu-ray early this year. The Jan. 26 library event is free and open to the public. Registration isn’t required. “It’s no coincidence that hygge has exploded in popularity amidst growing division and distrust in the world,” Walls said. “People are looking for ways to be happier, but the Danish word and its definition are more complicated than it seems. For those who seek happiness, we hope our exploratory documentary helps each individual viewer discover their own true meaning of hygge and how to find it for themselves.” For more on the documentary, visit findinghyggefilm.com.

Urban Vines Winery and Brewery

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 303 E. 161st St., Westfield What to get: The Wild Garden pizza Price: $13 Anna’s take: Urban Vines serves its artisan pizzas from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The pies are 12 inches, hand-formed and fire-grilled. The menu suggests the pizzas feed one to two people, but in my opinion, I think Urban Vines is a great place to visit with a few friends and order several menu items to share and nibble. There are five varieties of pizza. I tried The Wild Garden, which includes red sauce, mozzarella, red pepper, red onion and spinach. Besides pizza, charcuterie boards with
offerings of meat, cheese, bread, olives, mustard or local honeycomb also are available. My suggestion? Order a bit of everything and cozy up in one of the winery’s new, rentable igloos. Suggested pairings: Urban Vines offers a variety of beer, so there’s something for wine lovers and for those who love a good brew. Urban Vines’ wine varies from sweet white to dry red, and my favorite beverage to order is one of its ciders. I’ll pair the peach cider with just about any charcuterie board or pizza slice and just make it work. Since everyone’s beverage palette is different, I suggest visiting Urban Vines Winery and Brewery’s website because it lists each variety of wine and beer. For more, visit urban-vines.com.

Farrell to help in ’Salute to Heroes’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell has many reasons for wanting to take part in Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s “Salute to Heroes” concert. concert “It’s something special for me, not only because it’s honoring the veterans, active military personnel and first responders, but my Uncle Nick served in the Navy and Uncle Bill was a captain in the Marines, serving two tours in Vietnam.” In addition, Farrell loves patriotic concerts. “There is nothing at all like singing with a symphony orchestra,” Farrell said. “Broadway is amazing, but Broadway pit orchestras are only like 20, 22 or 24 pieces. To have 70-plus orchestra members behind you, that is a feeling that you can’t quite put into words. It’s an amazing rush. It’s so wonderful to have all those artists coming together to produce such a powerful piece of music for the audience.” The “Salute to Heroes” concert, presented by Pedcor & Friends, is set for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 17. Farrell will serve as emcee. “I’ll be the glue connecting the dots with the pieces and introducing the different artists,” Farrell said. Farrell will perform, as will his fellow Actors
Theatre of Indiana co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. Also performing will be Jennie DeVoe, The Wright Brothers, the Indiana University Singing Hoosiers and the Ball State University Dancers. Farrell will sing “America the Dream Goes On.” He previously sang the song with an ensemble at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. “I had a very active concert career starting back in 1991 when I Farrell started with Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops,” Farrell said. Kunzel, who died in 2009, also was principal pops director for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, which led Farrell to other performances. “Then, when we started ATI in 2005, that part of my career took a backseat as we got the theater company going,” he said. “I’m so excited to start with symphony concerts again.” Farrell worked with CSO music director Janna Hymes with a school program, “Sounds Exciting,” in November 2018. Veterans, active military members and first responders receive a 50 percent discount on individual tickets. For more, visit carmelsymphony.org.

Imagine doctors who listen to you and your body.
Community has a knack for finding primary care physicians who believe patients know their bodies best. And it’s the doctor’s job to help interpret. Together then, every concern, question and doubt are understood and addressed. If that’s what you’re looking for, we hear you. That’s exceptional care, simply delivered. All from a health network that had the beautiful idea to bring them both together.
