American Legion Post Commander Hal Daniels attends the American Legion Post 510’s June 15 meeting.

A GROWING POST Lawrence American Legion aims to attract more members

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com From 2014 to 2016, Historic Fort Benjamin Harrison American LeCOVER STORY gion Post 510 was the fastest-growing post in the nation when it grew from approximately 30 members to more than 600 in only a few years, even though it doesn’t have its own building. Post Commander Hal Daniels attributes the growth to the community’s connection to Fort Benjamin Harrison, wich was decomissioned as an Army base in 1991. “I think that particular area was in need of an American Legion post because the closest one was at 38th Street and Post Road, and being as we are in Lawrence, I think (that post) was drawing a lot from that area,” Daniels said. Post 510 also gained members when a past commander called people who had signed up to be part of the American Legion

but didn’t have a post. The unique aspect of Post 510 is it doesn’t have a building in which to operate American Legion business. However, it is more than a virtual post. “I think you’re able to have more comradeship (in-person),” Daniels said. “We have to be a little more innovative, but even then, we get a lot of members from different areas even outside of Lawrence.” Post 510 meetings used to be held at the American Legion Dept. of Indiana on Herbert Lord Road. Then, it shared Post 495’s facility at 38th Street and Post Road. “What happened was our membership started dropping,” Daniels said. Post leaders came up with the idea to conduct meetings at Elmcroft of Fort Harrison senior living community. “We asked if they didn’t mind holding meetings there because they have over 20 veterans in their facility,” Daniels said. “We would hold our meetings there, and if you

go in there they have a wall for their veterans. They have close to nine World War II or Korean War veterans. We started having meetings there, and the first meeting quite a few veterans show up.” At the most recent Post 510 meeting, former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard was the special guest. Indiana Director of Veterans’ Affairs Dennis Wimer also attended to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the American Legion. Daniels said the post expects membership to pick back up. And even if veterans can’t attend meetings, he wants them to know someone cares about them. “Us holding meetings there (at Elmcroft of Fort Harrison) is to really help them have the feeling we have a post here that cares about you and cares that you served,” Daniels said. Daniels said Post 510 also is aiming to conduct some of its meetings at the American Legion Dept. of Indiana location again

because it helps create the American Legion atmosphere. “We are still giving that military presence and the fact we are right there next to the Legion headquarters, it’s very patrioticoriented flying their flags,” Daniels said. “It just gives you a good core group of a military-type presence.”

AMERICAN LEGION INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY In addition to recruiting new members, Post 510 also participates in community events. Its color guard team is often asked to participate in some of the largest parades in the U.S. In addition, Gov. Eric Holcomb is a member of Post 510 and will speak at its Aug. 17 meeting.

LETTERS Eid in Fishers

Safety check Commentary by Terry Anker

The pleasure craft that find their way beyond the intercoastal waterways of our fine nation’s eastern seaboard are often equipped with what is best called a “panic button.” While there are many retail names, essentially this small bit of technology, if depressed, will summon the nearest Coast Guard vessel to come to the rescue. It casts a lifeline to recreational boaters who find that circumstance, or their own personal or equipment limitations, have taken them past the point of no return. They need help – and the handheld gadget summons it. Still, it is not to be taken lightly. Even an accidental activation of the device will bring forward all the force and glory of our federal military apparatus. Helicopters, ships and boats of every size and shape are likely to appear. And, for the boy who cries wolf, the penalties can be considerable. But in the rare instance that the storm is raging and our limits have been reached, even exceeded by considerable margin, the contraption often is a lifesaver. Most of us will not find ourselves riding the waves of the open sea in anything smaller than a Caribbean cruising colossus. If the ship goes down, someone else is largely responsible for our safety. But when we are all alone on endless water, how are we expected to mitigate our risk? Even in our land-loving daily existence, where is our panic button? And if we press it, who will come running? Even more, have we kept the channel open and the device fully charged? If we cry out for help, do we have confidence that someone is listening? We venture into our lives with very little worry of the risks we take. Yet, shouldn’t we occasionally check the batteries in our lifeline? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

Toeing the line for dad Commentary by Danielle Wilson I was hanging with a couple of sisters-inlaw last weekend and, of course, we got to talking about our kids. While our conversation could and did go in many direcHUMOR tions – puberty, college, the latest obsession with K-pop sensation BTS – we kept coming back to the inalienable truth that children are far better behaved with dads than they are with us, the women who carried them for nine-plus months, painfully birthed them and then spent two to seven years forgoing sleep for feedings, diaper changes and debilitating anxiety. Why? Why are our precious little angels manipulative, cajoling, brat demons perfectly willing and able to employ emotional blackmail when they’re in our presence, but are obedient, compliant, tongue-tied yes-people when they are in the company of their fathers? How are these sub-adults able to so quickly and effectively wear us down, but unable to make even a dent when dealing with their sires?

To be fair, we all acknowledged that as moms, we naturally are putty in their hands. From the beginning, we’re just too tired to offer much resistance, and that fatigue, though it changes as children grow, doesn’t lessen with the years. When infants/toddlers/tweens/teens cry, we soothe by any means necessary. And kids are smart; they learn quickly that pushing back when mom’s around will eventually yield results, but with dad, they’re taking a risk. He hasn’t been on the frontlines of breastfeeding debacles and hormone attacks, of battling powerful emotional swings and perceived threats to our babies. He’s usually fresh to the fight, defenses in place and operating at max capacity. Alas, we found no answers, but enjoyed laughing at our maternal weaknesses. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Don’t give up the ship!” -James Lawrence, U.S. naval captain

Editor, Our house is filled with sweet, buttery aroma of baked cookies. Eid al-Fitr is upon us, a “Festival of Breaking the Fast.” It is an important religious holiday celebrated by millions of Muslims around the world. It marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, self-refection. And it is coming to a small but vibrant Muslim community living in Fishers. Eid celebration in Bosnia, where I am from, was always less about religion itself and more about gathering and spreading the joy. Food was at the center of it – savory lamb dishes, delicate dolmas (meat- and ricestuffed vegetables) and burek – rolled dough filled with minced beef or vegetables. Sweets like baklava or kadaif prepared for dessert. All shared with family, friends and neighbors. Most of us, in our previous homelands, belonged to the same fabric of society, sharing the same traditions for hundreds of years. Now, we are part of a different community, adding to its diversity and flavors. A good community is where different cultures and traditions are embraced and celebrated. If you do not know what Eid is about and how it is celebrated, find a Muslim neighbor or a co-worker and ask, be curious about it. And if you are a Muslim, invite a non-Muslim neighbor or a co-worker to your Eid party and share the amazing food and your traditions. May this Eid be filled with happiness, peace and new friends at your table. Eid Mubarak! Amna Tokmo, Fishers

When I wrote a column about things that annoyed me, some readers called me a grump. Others wondered why HUMOR the list was so short. To validate both sentiments, here are a few things I forgot: I hate the commercial for Prevagen. This memory-enhancing supplement’s main ingredient is harvested from jellyfish — one of the only animals on the planet that has no brain. And from this blob they found something that will help my memory? I hope I remember not to waste my money. After owning a computer for 30 years, I still don’t know what a file permission error is. Why do I need permission to file something on my own computer? And why does the computer scare the bejeebers out of me by flashing on the screen: A fatal error has occurred? How about instead: Oops, you made a teensy-weensy goof? That would work for me. I go to Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks and I buy a cup of coffee for two or three bucks. Nothing fancy, just a coffee. Then I go to one of several places on my errand list, like my bank, my barber or the car wash. There, the coffee is free and it’s just as good. That’s almost a grand a year I’m wasting. A fatal error has occurred. Sometimes when my cellphone rings, the caller ID shows: Maybe Linda or probably Bob. Apparently, if the number isn’t in my phone book, the software searches my emails for possible matches. Suggesting it could be someone I know is like reporting there’s a 50 percent chance of rain. What a big help! This is weird. On Monday at Shapiro’s Deli, there was no chicken in my chicken soup. When I complained, they said they don’t put chicken in the chicken soup until Wednesdays. Something is not kosher there (actually, nothing really is). Finally, I didn’t need the clerk asking, “Do you want a bag for those cough drops?” “No thanks, they’re already in a bag.” I have to go now. I have to chase some kids off of my lawn.

Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation.

Now, though, there is a healthy bread substitute. Called Barely Bread, it’s a soy-, yeast- and gluten-free, paleo-friendly bread substitute that actually tastes a lot like real bread. The texture isn’t identical to regular bread, but it is close. Available online or at Whole Foods, it’s worth trying.

Although they present only a moderate UV risk factor, much lower than tanning beds, the exposure adds up over time. If you get manicures regularly, you may want to apply sunscreen to your hands before using the lamps. Home DNA test concerns – Home DNA tests such as AncestryDNA and 23andMe are becoming very popular and, unfortunately, creating a lot of stress for people. You may see a result that you have gene mutations putting you at risk for various diseases. Before panicking, consult a doctor. Often, the test results don’t give a complete picture that accounts for all other risk factors.

Fulton embraces Songbook Academy — again By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Imitation, the saying goes, is the sincerest form of flattery. But Peter Fulton was never trying to flatter when he MUSIC imitated the silky-smooth style of a famous crooner. Rather, he was trying to mirror what works for an acclaimed artist - an approach he now realizes isn’t the best for creating his own singing identity. That was the No. 1 lesson he learned at last year’s Songbook Academy. “A big takeaway from last year is the importance of being original, of making a song your own,” said Fulton, a Fishers resident who has been selected again to participate in the summer music intensive. “Previously, I had been mimicking the style and song selection of Michael Bublé, but since then I’ve learned to explore different styles and artists.” Fulton, 17, is one of 40 students from across the U.S. participating in the 2019 Songbook Academy, a seven-day program that runs July 13 through July 20 at the Great American Songbook Foundation’s headquarters in the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. A senior at Colonial Christian School in Indianapolis and winner of 2018 CarmelFest Has Talent’s 16-and-under division for vocalists, Fulton plans to refine what he learned last year while digging further into the popular songs and jazz standards of the early 20th century which comprise the Great American Songbook. “Last year was great. I made a lot of new friends, discovered a lot of great songs and had the chance to learn from the best performers there are,” Fulton said. “I hope to learn a lot and practice well so that I can perform better than I did last year. More importantly, I hope to meet and stay in contact with a bunch of new friends.” Celebrating its 10th year, the Songbook Academy, open to students ages 14 to 18, affords participants the opportunity to work closely with music industry professionals, including award-winning singers and performers as well as instructors from some of the nation’s top university music and theater programs.

Costello to make Palladium debut Nov. 16 editorial@youarecurrent.com

This year’s lineup of mentors includes Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/ actress Melissa Manchester; Broadway actress/singer Laura Osnes; two-time Grammy-winning singer Sylvia McNair; Tony Award-winning actor Michael McElroy; New York-based singer/pianist/composer Nat Zegree; and five-time Grammy nominee and Great American Songbook Foundation founder Michael Feinstein. “This year we have an incredible lineup of mentors for our 10th anniversary,” said Renée La Schiazza, manager of programs and communications for the Great American Songbook Foundation. “For aspiring vocalists who love music, Songbook Academy is one of the most unique and life-changing arts education experiences offered annually to high school students from across the nation. “The Songbook Academy is certainly an unforgettable experience for the nation’s young talent.”

Fulton is one of eight Indiana high school students, including six from Hamilton County, selected for the 2019 Songbook Academy. The other local students are Jack Ducat (Carmel High School), Sydney Greene (CHS), Morgan Koontz (CHS), Griffin Scott (CHS), Cynthia Kauffman (Zionsville Community High School), Grace Tucker (ZCHS) and Samantha Shelton (Avon/Herron High School). “My first year was life-changing, and I couldn’t bear not to try out again,” Fulton said. “Since I’m a senior, this is my last chance, so I can’t let it go to waste. I appreciate how the academy focuses on teaching music rather than hosting a competition. It shows that the staff and mentors truly love the Songbook and care about us students.” Fulton’s post-high school plans are to study 3-D modeling and animation at IUPUI. For more, visit thesongbook.org.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Elvis Costello will bring his band, The Imposters, to the Palladium Nov. 16 for their debut appearance at the Center for the Performing Arts. The tour is titled “Just Trust,” and the performance is set for 8 p.m. at the Palladium, 1 Center Green, Carmel. Tickets are available with series subscriptions to the 2019-20 Center Presents season. Subscriptions are available at TheCenterPresents.org and through the box office at 317-843-3800. Costello emerged from England’s 1970s new wave scene to launch a career that now boasts more than 30 albums, spanning the spectrum of Western music from punkflavored pop and rock to country, classical and jazz sounds. The Grammy winner and Oscar nominee has collaborated with artists Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, The Brodsky Quartet, Allen Toussaint, The Roots, and his wife, jazz pianist Diana Krall. The concert is part of the Center’s new Encore Series, a multi-genre schedule featuring performances added throughout the season.

Westfield — Dave & Rae Band will give a concert from 6 to 9 p.m. as part of the July 4 celebration at Urban Vines Vineyard. Fireworks will begin at 10 p.m. Parking is $10. Admission is free. Fishers — Parrots of the Caribbean, along with special guests The Islanders, will give a free concert from 7 to 9 p.m. July 2 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.

Teen advances to semifinals

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

It was actually the second time that proved to be the charm for Kaylee JohnsonBradley and MUSIC the CarmelFest Has Talent competition. “A few years ago, I auditioned and unfortunately didn’t get past the first round,” Johnson-Bradley Johnson-Bradley said. “Recently, a woman came up to me after one of my performances at school and suggested that I try out again. I did, and now I’m through to the next round. The experience so far has been pretty uplifting, so I can see myself coming back in the future.” Johnson-Bradley, a 17-year-old McCordsville resident who will be a senior at Mt. Vernon High School, will perform as a semifinalist in the 17 to 20 division from 3 to 5 p.m. July 3 on the Gazebo Stage. There are four age divisions, 12 and under, 13 to 16, 17 to 20 and 21 and older. The top three in each division advance to the finals at 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. July 4.

Johnson-Bradley has loved to perform since a young age. “I really like the feeling of moving an audience and taking them on a journey through the performance,” she said. “I believe that is what I’m most excited for, to perform in front of an audience and take them on a journey through the song.” She plans to sing “Fight Arena Song” by Rachel Platten. Alyson Arena, 11, also made the semifinals in her second try. Arena, who has a Zionsville address but lives in Carmel, will be a sixth-grader at Creekside Middle School in August. Arena is eager to perform in front of the CarmelFest audience. ‘Of course, I would love to win CarmelFest and it would be amazing, but I’m just proud of myself for actually being a semifinalist even when I did not make the cut last year,” Arena said. “I am overall proud of myself for making it here, and all that matters is that I try my hardest and have fun.” Arena will sing “You Say” by Lauren Daigle.

Blueprint for Improvement: Old Northside bathroom gets update Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

By shifting the location of the door and pushing the vanity back, we were able to open up the space and add a freestanding tub. 1. The tilework is really the star of the show in this bathroom. The combination of patterns and hues (including herringbone, penny and crayon-shaped tiles) lends incredible interest and style. 2. Beautifully coordinated accessories – from the Moravian star hanging pendant to the faucets and mirrors – in a stylish champagne bronze finish add to the “wow” factor. 3. Wall sconces were added to soften the light reflected in the mirror. 4. A quartz countertop and painted maple cabinetry round out the features of this stunning bathroom makeover. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This stunning loft is in the Old Northside neighborhood of Indianapolis. Built in 1901, the building originally housed the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. In recent years, the space has been divided and sold as individual lofts.

THE CHALLENGE The master bathroom was nicely finished; however, it didn’t have a bathtub, which was a “must-have” for these homeowners. The goal was to create space for a relaxing soaker tub while keeping the shower and amping up the style.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

To be or not be correct? Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Reconstructed slave cabin at Monticello. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Jefferson’s moral contradictions Commentary by Don Knebel Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that “all men are created equal,” owned 600 slaves during his lifetime and fathered children with one of them. The guardians of Jefferson’s famous Virginia estate have recently confronted these contradictions. Jefferson inherited from his father a 5,000-acre plantation near Charlottesville, Va., and the enslaved individuals working there. In 1769, five years after taking control of the property, he began building a house atop a hill he called “Monticello,” a project that continued, off and on, for 40 years. Some of Jefferson’s slaves, who lived in cabins along a road southeast of the house called “Mulberry Row,” helped with the construction. When Jefferson’s wife Martha died in 1782, he gained ownership of Sally Hemings, the daughter of Martha’s father and Elizabeth Hemings, one of her father’s slaves. Jefferson took his deceased wife’s half-sister with Notice of Self Storage Sale Please take notice Prime Storage - Fishers Ford Dr. located at 12650 Ford Dr., Fishers, IN 46038 intends to hold a sale to sell the property stored at the Facility by the below list of Occupants whom are in default at a Auction.

him to France when she was 14 and, according to accounts at the time, there made Sally his concubine. She eventually bore Jefferson six children, four of whom, including Madison Hemings, lived into adulthood. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation has owned Monticello since 1923. Until recently, its guided tours of the property made little mention of slavery and no acknowledgement that Sally Hemings was the mother of Jefferson’s children. Today, however, a 45-minute slavery tour begins at a reconstructed log cabin along Mulberry Row, emulating a cabin occupied by John Hemings, Sally’s half-brother. In 2018, the Foundation opened an exhibit in a small room in the south wing of the main house, where Sally Hemings may have lived. Relying on DNA evidence and the recollections of Madison Hemings, writings near the door state unequivocally that “Sally Hemings bore children fathered by her owner.” As the writings note, at Monticello “we can find the absolute best, and the absolute worst, that we have been as Americans.” Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

The following is a scenario based on real events. Any names have been changed to avoid embarrassment and grammar shaming. My friend, Ann, drives a van. Ann GRAMMAR GUY drives a tan van, and she’s married to Stan, but this story isn’t about him. It’s about Ann and her tan van. One day, Ann’s tan van was uncommonly tawny in its hue because, you see, it was dirty. “My van needs washed,” Ann surmised. As soon as Ann said this, my ears felt as if they were going to explode. I resisted the urge to correct her, because we were with a group of people, and I try to avoid correcting people’s grammar in public. If Prince Hamlet wondered, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” then my question is: What happened to ‘to be’? You see, Ann’s tan van needed to be washed. It didn’t “need washed,” as she declared. In this case, “washed” is what’s considered a passive participle, and it requires the infinitive phrase “to be” in order to pass grammar muster. I know this omission of “to be” doesn’t only happen in Indiana; this may very well be a Midwestern grammar faux pas. I’m interested to see if readers from outside the Midwest hear this ear-splitting construction. If not, send me an email with your regional grammar issue. Besides “need,” I’ve also heard this phraseology used with the words “want” and “like.” For instance: My pet bear wants scratched. My son likes fed multiple times per day. As I type this, my word processor’s squiggly red line is having a field day. My pet bear wants to be scratched. My son likes to be fed multiple times per day. I’m not sure what caused the omission of “to be.” Maybe high school students don’t appreciate being forced to read Shakespeare in their English classes, so they’ve begun a rebellion and have answered Prince Hamlet with a resounding “not to be.” When Shakespeare wrote his plays, he wrote many of his
