Council candidates face off

OUTSTANDING LOCATIONS. TIMELESS DESIGNS. OldTownDesignGroup.com

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

Nine candidates vying for six seats met Oct. 1 to answer community ELECTION questions and state their case to either be re-elected or join the Fishers City Council in 2020.

Conducted at Fishers City Hall by the League of Women Voters, forum participants were incumbent Republican Eric Moeller and Democrat challenger Samantha DeLong, representing the North Central District; incumbent Republican John Weingardt and Democrat challenger Lane Skeeters, representing the South Central District; incumbent Republican David George and Democrat challenger Adam Kaps, representing the Southwest District; and incumbent Republicans Cecilia Coble and Todd Zimmerman and Democrat challenger Jocelyn Vare, who are running for three at-large seats. Incumbent Republican Rich Block also is running for re-election for his at-large seat but was out of town.

When asked about transparency, incumbents said they were mostly happy with the city’s level of openess with citizens and that efforts are being made to engage the community. Moeller noted the city council booth at the summer farmers market and his efforts to hold meetings with HOA leadership, ideas that were echoed by George, Weingardt, Coble and Zimmerman.

Zimmerman also said the city has difficulty getting the community engaged through public meetings.

“Engagement at city council meetings is slim,” Zimmerman said. “You’d be amazed the feedback I get (through volunteering and coaching) when people find out I’m on city council. If we rely on just (City Hall), then we will continue to not engage the community.”

Skeeters said although the city administration does a good job communicating its accomplishments, more should be done.

“The city already has a great system in place to get the word out,” Skeeters said.

“We need to utilize those same strategies, but we need to do it two years in advance, before the projects get off the ground.”

DeLong and Kaps said they plan to continue canvassing, meet citizens individually and hold office hours after they are elected to continue engaging the community. Vare said she believes the city has an issue putting citizens first and that more than a quarter of the time, the council suspends its own rules to take

votes early.

At-large candidates Coble, Vare and Zimmerman spoke at length about tax increment financing districts, which are established by communities to collect a portion of property tax revenues. The “extra” revenue comes from development or increased assessed value that occurs from the time the city created the district and is set aside for future economic development projects within the district boundaries.

Vare said Fishers uses TIF heavily and that she believes in a “common-sense balance” for establishing TIF districts.

Zimmerman said Fishers’ practice has led to successful areas of the city and business growth.

“The thought process behind TIFs (is) you have to do your research and figure out (some businesses) are right for the community, and hopefully, development surrounds it,” Zimmerman said. “Without using a TIF (district), the downtown would not have been able to be established.”

Coble said TIF districts have paid off for the city and that there are many factors to look at when deciding to approve one. “(TIF districts) are very carefully evaluated by many factors – what kind of industry is wanting to come in, the types of jobs, the (salary), the tax base,” Coble said. “We had a lot of open space and we needed to get some economic development here because we cannot sustain ourselves in the future as a bedroom community.”

news@geistcurrent.com McCordsville attorney Richard Bell claimed he owned a 20-yearLAWSUIT old photo of the Indianapolis skyline, but a federal jury determined he doesn’t own it. In the past, Bell has used the photo to extract payment from more than 100 businesses and individuals who were unaware Bell claimed to have a copyright on the image.

Bell claimed to be a professional photographer, but it was found he had only been paid one time by his sister for taking pictures.

Indianapolis-based Carmen Commercial Real Estate Services challenged Bell in federal court in 2016 when he attempted to collect $5,000 from the real estate firm to settle what Bell claimed was copyright infringement. In 2011, when Bell began filing copyright infringement suits, he was demanding $200. But by 2016, he demanded $5,000 from Carmen Commercial Real Estate Services. In 2018, he was demanding $10,000.

This year, Bell filed 22 copyright lawsuits.

Bell claimed to have taken the photo in March 2000. Paul Overhauser, a Greenfield attorney for intellectual-property infringement, said that couldn’t be true because the photo depicted a fountain operating in the Indianapolis canal. An affidavit from the City of Indianapolis proved the city didn’t turn the fountain on until April of each year.

“The jury determined Mr. Bell did not own the photo, which now means all of the defendants he has sued across the country should be able to use this jury finding to get their cases decided in their favor,” Overhauser stated.

According to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, the median cost for defending copyright infringement litigation is approximately $200,000. Because Bell has sued more than 100 defendants, his exposure for defendants’ attorney’s fees could be more than $20 million if all defendants move against Bell for the attorney fees and costs incurred in defending lawsuits he filed against them.

RELIVING HISTORY Fortville man spends retirement as a Civil War Union soldier reenactor

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fortville retiree Joe Ferrell said he was always mildly interested COVER STORY in the Civil War during history classes at Mt. Vernon High School. But he didn’t become interested in battle reenacting until more than two decades later in 1990.

Ferrell has five descendents who fought in the Civil War, four of whom are buried at Gravel Lawn Cemetery in Fortville.

“In school it was just what was in the history books, but there is a picture I have at home of my great grandfather (Archibald Hiday) being discharged from the (Union) Army,” Ferrell said. “It’s just a big picture, and right in the middle, in handwritten script, was where he was and who he was with and the battlefields he was on. He was wounded and he also got captured.

“He was with 11th Indiana. He was at (the Battle of) Shiloh. His commanding officer was (Maj. Gen.) Lew Wallace. He had four brothers, and they were all in parts of the infantry.”

Ferrell started reenacting with the 14th

Indiana Regiment after he met reenactors at a park and saw a sign asking for volunteers.

“I was just going there to see what they were going to do. I’d never seen one,” Ferrell said. “I saw a sign that said they needed volunteers and that’s where it started.”

Ferrell borrowed a uniform and tent for two weeks, and then as he traveled with the regiment, he purchased his own equipment. He volunteered with the 14th Indiana Regiment and became a permanent member after purchasing a cannon from a reenactor who had to discontinue for health reasons.

“The fellow who had the gun got sick and he had to quit,” Ferrell said. “When he realized he couldn’t do it anymore, he sold the gun to a couple of boys who tried to fix it, and then I bought it from them.”

Ferrell said his wife, Sue, usually fired the cannon, a howitzer, during reenactments Ferrell no longer has the cannon.

“She probably fired it 500 times. I think I fired it once,” he said.

Ferrell met the 4th Indiana Regiment, his current regiment, at reenactments before joining it seven years ago.

“I can get in with just about anybody.

I’ve known these people for a long time, and that’s what it is, it’s comradery,” he said. “I know people all over this place. Once you’ve been doing it long enough, I just told them I’d be there and they said, ‘Sure, we can use you.’”

Although Ferrell typically portrays a Union private, he has played a Confederate soldier when needed.

Ferrell’s next event will be at the fourth annual Civil War Reenactment Oct. 12-13 at Piney Acres Farm, 1115 E. 1000 N., Fortville.

Admission is free. Ferrell typically participates in eight reenactments a year.

MEET JOE FERRELL Career before retirement: Retired from manufacturing for transmission parts for Honda Motors. Worked in casting and shipping. Retired in 2016.

High school class: Graduated in 1969 from Mt. Vernon High School Last book he read: “The Killer Angels: A novel of the Civil War” by Michael Shaara Favorite movie: “Gettysburg” or anything with John Wayne in it Favorite thing to do outside of reenactment: Work in the garage making walking sticks Morning or night person: Morning person

Favorite part of reenactment: “The fun part is taking that thing (the cannon) out on the field and you’ve got spectators watching, and what’s really nice is, if there’s enough of them, they’ll hoot and holler a little bit and applaud, and then they’ll tell you how much they enjoyed it,” Ferrell said. “It’s kind of like being any kind of sports person, and people recognize you for who you are. You’re not a hero to anybody, but there are hundreds of people who have never heard one of those go off and it’s spectacular. It just thumps you.”

ESSAY

LETTER Vote ‘yes’

Company of one Commentary by Terry Anker In the 1932 movie “Grand Hotel,” smoldering film star Greta Garbo exclaims repeatedly, “I want to be alone.” As the plot progresses, reallife reclusive actress begins a romantic relationship with a stranger to whom she had earlier proclaimed the need for solitude, thus guaranteeing that she would assuredly no longer be alone. The fictional character finds happiness only when she admits a secret desire to be anything but lonesome.

We good people often live the paradox. Certainly, those of us who are not blessed (or cursed) by a genetic predisposition to extroversion understand. While time engaged in the company of others is good, even necessary, the time we spend alone is restorative and, likewise, required for good health.

The needed allotment is not consistent across all persons. Something in us drives a longing for our own fortress of solitude, just as the same internal voice demands that we seek shared space.

In marriages, offices and crowded buses, we find ourselves pursuing intimacy while quietly hoping for independent identity. We alternate between striking up conversations and withdrawing, earbuds in place, into our own thoughts. How do we find the right balance? How do we give, and get, fully while still holding something back just for us?

Is there a way to simultaneously be entirely engaged and fully autonomous? With differing personality needs, who decides the standard?

It is another actress, Belgium-born Audrey Hepburn, who summed it up thusly: “I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”

Who said ‘one’ is easy?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Stupid sick kids. They ruin everything! Or at least give me high blood pressure. When does parenting get easy?

I thought with three away HUMOR at college, I’d be mostly home free. My 15-year-old is fairly self-reliant and usually so busy with school and dance that I don’t see much of her. But she caught a nasty bug this past week and sent everything into turmoil.

For starters, the nurse practitioner declared her ickiness to be viral, which meant no quick antibiotic fix. I was pulling for strep when I dragged her to the Minute Clinic on the third day of 103-degree-plus temperatures, but no such luck. We left with instructions to treat symptoms and to prepare for potentially 10 more days of lethargy, body aches, fever and sore throat. Obviously, school was out, but I didn’t want to take off work to watch her. So, after maybe seven seconds of contemplation, I decided she’d

be fine on her own. What’s the worst that could happen? I mean, if its bubonic plague, there’s nothing I can do anyway. Good luck, little lady! Don’t you go dying on me! Yeah, Mom of the Year right here.

And I was actually more stressed about the amount of classes she was missing.

Five-days’ worth could seriously derail her quest to beat her siblings for highest GPA, not to mention send her into a whirlwind of anxiety about catching up — a true nightmare for me as a mother.

It’s hard when your baby is sick and you can’t do a darn thing to make her better. I guess I just assumed once I was down to one, parenting would be easy. Friends, I was wrong.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”

— John Lennon

Editor, For the first time ever, we seek voter support for Lawrence Township schools through a capital project referendum Nov. 5. Through careful budgeting, our school corporation is financially healthy for day-to-day operating expenses, which pay the salaries of our outstanding teachers and staff; however, Indiana law requires voters to approve any substantial investments in building renovations. As parents, we know that Lawrence educational programs are among the best in Indiana. We need school buildings that match this excellence. As community members, we also believe that an investment in our schools keeps our community vibrant, economically healthy and contributes to solid property values.

Most of the $191 million capital referendum will benefit our two high schools. The last renovation for Lawrence Central High School was in 1993. Never renovated, Lawrence North High School was built in 1976. Elementary buildings earmarked for safety upgrades are Forest Glen, Oaklandon, Winding Ridge and four early learning centers.

Sincerely, Pam Dechert and Jeff Yu co-chairs, Yes4Lawrence Schools Political Action Committee

Per son a l T r us ts & Es tat es

I created quite a stir during services last Sunday morning. Mary Ellen was embarrassed when she first heard it.

HUMOR She thought I should excuse myself from the sanctuary.

Was that my stomach growling?

No one has this identification problem with other bodily eruptions. Everyone clearly knows who the originator is - although with one sound in particular (and its result), there is usually blame-shifting that unfairly maligns the family dog. But with things like sneezing, hiccupping and coughing, it’s seldom an issue.

I’ll admit that I have loud internal plumbing. Each week, I record an audio tease for my television segments on WISH-TV. My producer said recently: “Let’s do that last line over again, Dick. I just heard the building’s sewer back up.”

The technical name for a grumbling stomach comes from the Greek word borborygmos. The dictionary says this is an example of onomatopoeia, a word that imitates the sound associated with something. Now, before you start Googling (which also is medical jargon for what my stomach is do-

ing), I already looked up this symptom and am aware that stomach rumbling is one indication of about 35 different illnesses, including uremia, acute mesenteric ischemia, aerophagia and functional dyspepsia - none of which I had ever heard of. That meant I needed to Google those particular disorders, as well, but more Googling would have turned my stomach - which was the last thing I needed.

When your insides churn noisily, your brain is sending a message to your gut to prepare for a meal. As one medical site notes, your belly is saying: “Hungry. No food here; must eat soon.” Why do stomachs sound like Tonto talking to the Lone Ranger?

I’ve been at my computer all afternoon and my wife just sent me an email saying she had a tough day and wants to go out for a quiet dinner. I hated to tell her, but that wasn’t going to happen. Not when I’m this hungry.

Students wrongly receive insulin news@geistcurrent.com Students in the health sciences and biomedicine program at the McKSCHOOLS enzie Center for Innovation and Technology in Lawrence are required to have flu shots and tuberculosis tests for their offsite clinical experiences.

However, when Community Health Network administered the TB test Oct. 1, 16 students were instead administered a small dosage of insulin.

Once the error was discovered, all 16 students were transported to area hospitals for observation as a precaution. Transported students were accompanied by McKenzie staff

Candlelight Theatre holds spooky show editorial@youarecurrent.com

Local coffee shops serve up fall favorites

Candlelight Theatre has a spooky special for Halloween by presenting “Ghost Tales of the Civil War” by resident playwright James Trofatter at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site on select dates in October.

Candlelight Theatre founder and creative director Donna Wing, a Geist resident, will appear in the performances. Hamilton County performers include Emily Jackson, Carmel; Ann Richards, Fishers; and John West, Noblesville.

Dates are Oct. 11, 12, 18, 19, 26 and 27. The performances at the site, 1230 North Delaware St., Indianapolis, begin every half-hour, with six shows each day, 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Sundays.

Cost is $14.95 to $17.95. Tickets are available at eventbrite.com/e/ghost-tales-of-thecivil-war-tickets-61949682167.

Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com As temperatures cool and leaves begin to fall, there’s nothing better than cupping your hands around a BEVERAGES mug of warm coffee on a chilly morning, or at midday for a pick-me-up. Hamilton County brews up plenty of options, new and old, for those who love coffee.

ROSE & LOIS Opening soon at 7249 E. 146th St., Suite 110, Carmel You can order coffee to-go, but have you ever heard of a coffee truck permanently on the go? Rose & Lois is a new business with plans to open its first brickand-mortar shop by 2020. Owner Rachel Priddy didn’t want to wait around until the shop was ready, so she and her family converted a trailer into a mobile coffee shop. Priddy sets up in the parking lot on 146th Street and Community Drive, where her new store will be built. Hours from 7 a.m. to noon on weekdays. She is serving lattes, nitro cold brew and hot coffee to folks on their way to work in what is called the “coffee desert” of Hamilton County by local coffee drinkers. I ordered the pistachio latte and sampled the Costa Rican drip coffee, both of which warmed me right up on an autumn morning.

NOBLE COFFEE AND TEA 933 Logan St., Noblesville My favorite place to settle in and knock out my to-do list. The shop is big and has spacious seating with soft wood tones, the ultimate cozy atmosphere. You can sit by the window and watch people in downtown Noblesville hustle about, or cozy up in the corner to read a good book. I suggest an iced Americano or the Highlander Grogg blend, which has butterscotch, rum and caramel flavors.

(Above) Rachel Priddy displays her Rose & Lois mobile coffee shop. (Photo by Heather Sherrill Photography) (Right) The Black Hat at The Well Coffeehouse in Fishers is a smooth blend of cinnamon, cayenne and charcoal mocha. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

THE WELL COFFEEHOUSE 8890 E. 116th St. Suite 120, Fishers This is another of my favorite places to work from. The Well recently expanded its menu and now offers lots of light, healthy options, which also happen to be delicious (curry chicken salad bowl, turkey pesto sandwich, etc.). The Well just rolled out its seasonal menu, with offerings like Somethin’ Pumpkin’ (pumpkin, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger latte), Secret Garden (juniper, bergamot, lavender cold brew) and Black Cat (cinnamon, cayenne, charcoal mocha). If you want a taste of something you’ve never tried before, sample the Black Cat. It’s smooth, creamy

with spicy undertones.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement has something for everyone Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Built in 2010, this home is in the Longridge Estates neighborhood on the west side of Carmel.

THE CHALLENGE The homeowners wanted to create a space that would be enjoyed by the whole family, including two kids who love to play video games and parents who enjoy entertaining and exercising at home. They also wanted to update the aesthetic of the basement to reflect the style of the rest of their home.

THE SOLUTION 1. The space was divided into a large entertainment area and a home gym.

2. The kids have their own space for playing multiplayer video games. It’s complete with two TV screens and cabinets for storage of consoles and games.

3. The barn doors that separate the living area from the exercise room feature innovative stops for soft-opening and soft-closing functionality.

4. Built-in shelves and cabinets display the homeowners’ collection of sports memorabilia; the glass barn doors below the TV are a fun tie-in to the fullsize doors in the room.

5. Custom wood planks behind the television were hand distressed on-site.

Hit me with your pet shark Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’d love to be in a real band someday, if for no other reason but to come up with cool potential band GRAMMAR GUY names.

Are you ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mondegreen!

After a quick Google search, it appears as though both Mondegreen and The Mondegreens are already band names. All the good ones are taken.

Because I don’t want to get in a legal battle with either band, I’ll just tell you about the term “mondegreen” instead.

A mondegreen is a term for a misheard music lyric that you sing or hear instead of the correct lyrics. Writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954 in an article for Harper’s Bazaar, in which she recounted a misunderstood song lyric from “The Bonny of Earl Murray.” Instead of the actual lyrics “...and layd him on the green,” Wright heard “and Lady Mondegreen.”

I love mondegreens. Some notable mondegreens include lyrics from Jimi Hendrix’s song “Purple Haze.” “Excuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “excuse me while I kiss the sky” often is heard.

Pretty much every line from Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” is easy to mishear. “Hold me close now Tiny Dancer” really does sound like “folding clothes with Tony Danza.”

I’ve also heard people think this line said,

“Happy birthday, private waxer” and “Hold me close, I’m tired of dancing.”

Our brains hear these musical words and interpret them as whatever sounds make the most sense. That’s why, when we’re listening to a Pat Benetar hit, we’re prone to hearing “Hit me with your pet shark” instead of “Hit me with your best shot.” I think I like the “pet shark” line better.

I could go on and on with examples of familiar mondegreens, but I want to take a moment to dub the already-knighted Elton John as the King of the Mondegreens.

So, if you ever hear me going on about some guy named “Monty Green,” you may want to look up the lyrics to find out what I’m actually singing.
