The HSE Board of School Trustees has also issued an apology stating. “The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Board of School Trustees deeply regrets the pain that was caused due to a student-made research poster that was displayed in one of our high school classrooms. As a district we recognize our responsibility to provide a safe environment for students to learn and we failed to provide that in this case.

SCHOOLS By Taylor Dixon taylor@youarecurrent.com

“HSE does not advocate for defunding the police. HSE works closely with the Fish ers Police Department with the resource officers that are present in our buildings, the officers who help with traffic at our schools, and the officers who help monitor our community 24/7 to keep our students safe. We are and continue to be tremen dously grateful for their service.”

“Indiana holds an important place in the history of racing, and in my career as a driv er and an owner; I’m happy to confirm that the Racing Capital of the World will continue to be the home of our global racing efforts for a long time to come,” stated Andretti, chairman and CEO of Andretti Autosport.

HSE officials said the poster was from a research project from the previous school year made by a student who looked at the pros and cons of defunding the police. School officials, who declined to identify the teacher or release further details, said the poster was removed from the classroom and released the following statement ex pressing regret for the incident:

“A student’s research project from the previous school year, listing the arguments both for and against the movement of “de funding the police” was left on display in a classroom at Fishers High School. As soon as the school was made aware of the issue, the concern was swiftly dealt with. Howev er, we understand the impact was hurtful for individuals, and we deeply regret the pain it “Whilecaused.weallow teachers and students to examine social issues that are relevant to their lives, we affirm publicly through our partnership with local law enforcement that we stand in solidarity of the men and women who willing face dangerous circum stances each day to keep us safe.”

“Our teachers strive to incorporate stu dent-driven, relevant lessons into curriculum while meeting the academic standards as set by the Indiana Department of Education.

Fishers Maker Playground and Make48 volunteers will help contestants bring their ideas to life with the help of the wood shop, welding shop, metal shop, 3D printer, laser cutters, computers, and supplies to cut, form and create. Fishers Maker Playground volunteers are Nick Snyder, Cassy Coha, Daniel Shepherd and Justin Hagovsky. Every year, the concept or theme of the challenge changes, and the prompt is not fully announced until the competition begins.Thisyear, the Indiana competition is sponsored by Corteva Agriscience, an agri cultural company based in Indianapolis. The theme is “Food Preservation and The Supply Chain — Food at the Right Place at the Right Time.” The sponsor of Make48 challeng es gets to choose if (the product) will be self-serving or if it will help the community. If the winning product gets marketed, Gray said it could help with food waste in the community.

The Make48 contest rules are simple: teams will have 48 hours to create a proto type, promotional video and sales sheet and present their idea to a panel of judges.

48-hour design competition coming to Fishers

Fishers Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Sandquist said that the concept of “making” is relatively new and she is excit ed to host the Make48 competition to shed some light on the emerging concept. Last year, the “Make48” events expanded to four cities, including Indianapolis, and was held at the Machyne Makerspace at 16Tech. Fishers Maker Playground entered a team, which is how it got connected with Make48.“Atthe end of the day, (The Maker Play ground) is a playground of tools and tech nology and art. Our goal really is to just encourage more people to get creative and to make things with their hands and to ex perience the space that we have available to the entire community,” Sandquist said. The unique thing about Make48 is that, unlike other making competitions, compet itors don’t have to know how to operate tools or other equipment needed to bring their idea to life. Competitors range from age 7 to 70, Make48 co-founder/CEO Thomas GrayThesaid.Make48 competition was created in 2015 when Gray and three of his friends, Rich Brull, Bob Coulsten and Curt McMillan, wanted to create a competition for every day people.

Ramey competed at the NCSA Swimming Championships in late July at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis. “I only swam the 200 backstroke just to get a little tune up in, and it went pretty well for not being fully rested,” said Ramey, who won in a time of 2:10.64. “It’s a pretty competitive meet, but not as competitive as Junior Nationals.

Yet, the 1,700-acre state park — which was established in 1996 — annually draws nearly 1 million visitors, according to the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources. Hiking, fishing, bik ing, jogging, horseback riding and sledding are among the many activities available at the park.

“So, anybody who grew up here, went to high school here, called Lawrence home, had friends who were military brats,” Vest said. “Some of my first exposure to diversity was going to elementary school at Lawrence Elementary, which isn’t open anymore.”

“I wish I could put my finger on it exactly, but so many people that come through (Fort Harrison State Park) have personal stories about something they did as a child in the park or maybe they worked in a facility back when it was a fort,” Lee said. “The local people around Lawrence have their own stories. Every person that I come across has their own story with having a grandpa that served (in the military) and maybe he was at that camp for a few years, or maybe they worked on the floor and worked in the commissary or worked at the day care.

More than 100 years ago, one of the nation’s largest U.S. Army bases — Fort Benjamin Harrison — sat in the heart of the City of Lawrence, only miles from downtown Indianapolis.Duringthe 92 years it served as a military base, Fort Har rison was used for many purposes, ranging from housing a civilian conservation corps during the 1930s to housing German and Italian prisoners of war during World War II. It was also a military school in the 1990’s, according to the Fort Harrison Reuse Authority.

“The entire City of Lawrence still is defined by the pres ence of Fort Harrison,” Vest said.

Dexter Lee, president of the Friends of Fort Harrison State Park group, said many of the park’s visitors have some sort of connection to the fort and are continually drawn to it.

Today, the grounds of the old fort are home to one of the heavily visited state parks in Indiana: Fort Harrison State Park.During World Wars I and II, the fort was the largest recep tion center in the U.S. for military conscripts. In the 1950s, the finance center was constructed and employed thou sands of people in the city and is still one of the top em ployers in Lawrence with more than 5,000 people currently working there, according to the U.S. Dept. of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation.

Fort Benjamin Harrison’s history, amenities a major draw for Lawrence

Although the military base was decommissioned in 1991, Lawrence and Fort Harrison still have have remnants of the fort’s military past, such as the former Citizen’s Military Training Camp, Civilian Conservation Corps Camp and World War II prisoner of war camp. The Museum of 20th Century Warfare is in the former Camp Edwin F. Glenn area of the park.Jeff Vest, president of the Fort Harrison Reuse Authority, grew up in Lawrence. He recalls as a kid hearing “Taps” played nightly at 10 p.m. and “Reveille” each day at 6 a.m. Vest said that while he was growing up, the military base had a diverse population, something Lawrence is still known for.

“The people that put their roots in the ground in Law rence seem to stay and/or come back at some point, and I think that has to do with so many different families travel ing and living in that area due to their parents or an uncle or grandpa working out the fort. So, I think there’s just a lot of reasons for local people to go over there that doesn’t even involve the state park.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK POLICIES ESSAY

We are not our brother’s keeper. We are not responsible for the actions, or reactions, of others. At least, that’s been the accepted standard in most interpersonal communication. Sure, we come to understand very early in life that certain behaviors are prone to get certain responses. We complain to Mom of our hunger, and we might get a grilled-cheese sandwich. We take a toy from our older sibling, and we are likely to be greeted with a knuckle sandwich. So, we come to invest deeply in un derstanding the peccadillos of those around us. Thomas does not like to be called Tom. And talking football with Sue will invariably lead to an argument – she seems to like the debate more than the game. To get along and build social cohesion, we adjust to these unspoken variations. Most often, we learn that ad aptation is more efficient than absolute egalitarianism. Sure, we want to treat everybody the same, but it is so dang hard to do. OK, what is our affirmative require ment to accommodate others? Do we have to predict what might be their hidden hot button? Is it ever appropriate to believe that we get a pass because a perceived slight was unintended? Didn’t even occur to us? In living our lives outside of myriad potential landmines when interacting interpersonally, if we simply try to treat people the same and respectfully, do they have the right to criticize us as insensitive? Are we say ing that they don’t matter enough to cross our mind, or are we innocently ex pecting them to assert their own needs rather than trying to predict them? Maybe it depends on how close we are to the person. Should we be expected to know the barista as well as our chil dren? Should they demand it from us?

Before Mary Ellen’s current trip, we started the first episode of a series called “Severance,” but she left the room after 10 minutes, saying it was way too weird. She reminded me that this would give me something to occupy my time during her vacation.Theshow confused me from the start. It’s about a company involved in some illegal activity. They implant a programmable chip in employees’ heads so when they leave the office, they don’t recall what questionable stuff they did that day.

WISH-TV, but I’ve been told over the years by people who watched my segments that I looked like I was having fun. I was so happy to know I enjoyed my work. The first night she was away, I called Mary Ellen to ask her a question about the plot.“Can you turn on ‘Severance’ and help me figure this out?” I asked. “Dick, remember, you asked me stay at a cheap place to save money. I know this is hard to believe, but they don’t have Apple TV+ at Motel 6.” I asked her if I could hold the phone up to the TV so she could listen.“I’m going to rewind it to the part I don’t under stand,” I said. “You can help me decipher it.” “Geesh, Dick, watching ‘Severance’ was already weird enough. OK, I as sume from the promos that the woman is drilling into the dead guy’s head to extract the chip to see what memories he had of theMarycompany.”Ellenwas right, which annoyed me because she had never even watched a full episode. I was on show No. 6. The next day in church I approached the Penrys, our friends who initially had recom mended the show. “Dan, can you help me understand one of the story lines in ‘Severance’?” “Oh,” said Alyce, his wife, “I didn’t know Mary Ellen was out of town.”

Don’t forget pediatric screenings

VISIONHEALTH

Commentary by Dr. Hannah Wilson

Back-to-school season is upon us. With the chaos that preparing for another school year brings, it can be chal lenging to stay on top of your family’s health care. Often the eyes, which can create some of the most profound difficulties when it comes to your children’s success in school, are neglected. Children adapt to the way they are accus tomed to seeing the world, and by the time they complain about blur or headaches, their vision has likely been creating prob lems for months. A comprehensive eye exam assesses whether there is an underlying prescription that needs to be addressed and identifies ocular health issues that could pose a threat to eyesight. Tracking, depth perception, color vision and a whole host of other elements crucial to visual suc cess are also evaluated. Although school and pediatrician screen ings are wonderful ways to detect major eye problems, they do not take the place of a comprehensive eye exam at your optome trist’s office. The American Optometric Asso ciation recommends a child’s first eye exam at age 3, then again at age 5, and annually thereafter.Donotlet your child’s vision create ob stacles in and outside of the classroom. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam today to ensure that they are seeing well to kick off another school year.

Dr. Hannah Wilson is an optometrist at RevolutionEYES and Little Eyes Pediatric Eye Care in Carmel. She is happy to answer any questions regarding family vision needs and can be reached at DrWilson@Revolution-EYES.com.

Q: Can you provide any insights on what priorities will be addressed in the 2023 state Holcomb:budget? It will include additional K-12 support. It will include additional support for workforce development initiatives. Our READI program put $500 million forward into 17 different self-selected regions and attracted $10 billion. You get that kind of ROI, so how can we do it again? You could say mental health might be something we might need to address in a READI round two, so I’ll try to promote another round of READI. We’ll continue to lean into some of our infrastructure projects.

Q: We are seeing the impact or toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on Hoosiers, especially in regards to mental health. How do we make sure Hoosiers have ac cess to quality mental health services?

Governor talks inflation, 2023 priorities at OneZone luncheon

Q: What are your thoughts on inflation relief and the state’s role in it? Holcomb: The reason I called a special session was to address this, because we closed our fiscal books at the end of June. We had about $6.1 billion in cash reserves, and we were $1.2 billion over the forecast for that last year, so it just made sense to give the money back to Hoosiers who had

Holcomb: Well, we’re eating their lunch right now, and we’ve got the facts to back that up. There has been serious continuity over the years to provide certainty, stability, predictability.Firstandforemost, we have to make sure we have a K-12 pathway and we have pipelines coming from the other direction so everything we do in our administration is (looking at), “How do we bring employers or future and current employees together to meet in the middle?” In this ever-changing world we find ourselves in, we’re trying to stay ahead of the curve, so we’re out there chasing all the transition industries that are offering really high growth potential.

Holcomb: What we’ve learned through the READI program and Community Cross ings (program) is what really works is where the state complements local efforts and is not just aware of but is working with the boots that are actually on the ground, the providers that are there doing this and have already been doing this. We can learn a lot from and be informed by what’s already going on so we’re not wasting re sources and duplicating efforts.

Q: Any advice to the next man or woman who is elected to your position? Holcomb: I won’t meddle. I won’t be look ing over someone’s shoulder. They deserve the same space that I’ve had. Remember that you work for 6.8 million Hoosiers and growing, and even though you might have a very strong opinion about this or that, keep an open mind, get different perspectives.

Q: Any final thoughts? Holcomb: With Hamilton County and the two communities, Carmel and Fishers, that are represented (by OneZone), so goes you, so goes the state. With the business community, we are in a state where we’re not just blessed but we’re very fortunate to have the momentum we have. If we can harness that synergy, there is no problem we can’t solve.

The project includes a trailhead plaza along the Nickel Plate Trail and will have art exhibits along the trail. The Fishers Arts and Cultural Commission partnered with Rebar Development earlier this year to commison a trailhead sculp ture. The $50,000 sculpture, titled “Synapse,” will be created by Indianapolis-based artists Luke Crawley and Quincy Owens.

GROUNDBREAKING

“The city really was a big part of supporting Fairway as entrepreneurs and wanting to make sure we engaged the trail and created the trailhead and arts to just really think about how we can be a part of what’s happening in down town (Fishers),” said Shelby Bowen, president of Rebar Devel opment. “So, it’s more than just the office building, it’s really got a cool trail engagement piece.”

“It’s exciting to see the vibrancy and energy of the Nickel Plate District and Nickel Plate Trail impact the gateway to the Fishers Technology Park through this development and sub stantial art and trail components,” Mayor Scott Fadness said. “We look forward to welcoming the Fairway Independent Mortgage team to their future home in Fishers as this build ing comes to fruition.”

An $8.8 million project broke ground near the Nickel Plate Trail in Fishers Aug. 17. Fairway Independent Mortgage is building a new headquarters at the entrance of Fishers Technolo gy Park at the corner of Technolo gy Drive and Technology Lane, off Lantern Road. The project, called the Techway Project, will house three regional Fairway Independent Mortgage branches in the new office. The two-story building will have 1,500 square feet of space.Fairway Independent Mortgage will occupy part of the building, while another part will be occupied by a technology company that has yet to be named. Currently, the site is serving as a temporary home to the Fishers Health Dept. until it moves into its new home at the new City Hall building. The old city hall building is scheduled to be demolished sometime this fall, and construction of the new one is setto be com pleted in the spring of 2024.

Besides Greene and his wife, Kim, the company started with four other employees. Greene said the company has had between 35 to 40 employees for the last three or four years.“The biggest growth was 2010 to 2012 coming out of the Recession,” Greene said. “We grew our design teams and added a showroom. We became a true full-service provider for clients and really shifted from handyman to more full-service design, build (and)Greeneremodeling.”saidthe company moved into a larger office space on Carmel Drive in 2014. A studio was opened in Indianapolis five years ago and in Zionsville four years ago. Greene said he has a group of five employ ees he is preparing to run the company day-to-day.“ThenIcan be more of the visionary and strategic planner,” Greene said. “It’s a tough business to get bigger and bigger with custom remodeling.

While waiting for a meeting at the Public Works Dept. in Grand Rapids, Mich., Larry Greene had some time on his hands.“Iwas waiting all day for a guy who didn’t want to see me, but my boss made me sit there all day until he saw me,’” said Greene, then a civil engineer and region al manager for ADS Environmental Services, which studied water and sewer systems. Greene picked up Remodeling Magazine, the industry magazine on home remodeling. “I read it cover to cover and thought, ‘What a great industry,’” Greene said. “My vision was to take the professional side of civil en gineering and bring it to home improvement. I wanted to get into something where I could control my own destiny and stay in Carmel. I realized I was fascinated by home and architecture.”Previously, Greene had contemplated be ing a home builder but figured remodeling was a better fit. So, he started Case Handy man Services in 2003. It eventually became Case Handyman and Remodeling and then Case Design/Remodeling, and this month it has been rebranded as Worthington Design & Remodeling, as the Carmel company is no longer a franchise affiliated with Case. Greene said Case started a large remod eling business that has been in business in Washington, D.C., since 1961. It started a franchise system in the late 1990s. After re searching, Greene said Case was best suited for his “Whenvision.wecame into the business in 2003, we were looking for a way to get that training and support and industry expertise to get our company off the ground,” he said. “That was the initial reason to join. (Case) decided after a number of years they wanted to get out of (franchising). Case Carmel was part of a smaller franchise system the last 10 years. Essentially, the franchise system dwindled to just a few of us. We benefited from it. Heading into our 20th year, it’s time to have our local name, and we don’t need the support as much as we used to.”

Tyler Trepp specifically chose to at tend Indiana University to participate in Straight No Chaser. Trepp, who is from Ur bandale, Iowa, had always been interested in a cappella groups and heard of Straight No Chaser’s reputation. “I auditioned for the collegiate version of the group when I was still a senior in high school,” he said. “It’s crazy that I’m doing it for a living now.”

Trepp said there are two special mo ments in the concert for him. “The beginning when we step out and see the crowd,” Trepp said. “That to me as a performer is a feeling you can’t really describe. It’s something that hits you right in the heart. Then the final moment of the show we usually do an off-mic number where we stand in front of the stage and sing a song without microphones. It’s kind of a cool effect for people to hear that. We change that song from time to time.”

Trepp said with such a large repertoire, it is easy to draw from different setlists. After graduating from IU in 2007, Trepp performed with the a cappella group, Oceans Four, on cruise ships for two years.“Music was a big part of my life growing up,” he said. “I would listen to The Blend ers, an a cappella group from the Midwest. I would listen to groups that have great harmonies like The Beach Boys. I fell in love with the vocal harmony.”

Trepp said Straight No Chaser got lucky with its viral video in 2008 that launched its“Atlanticfame. Records gave us a shot to try this thing professionally and a lot of guys took risks and quit their day jobs to give it a go,” Trepp said. “Now, we’re here 14 years later, still performing and recording. We took that chance and tried to do the best we can with performing and record ing albums that our fans will like.”

Trepp, a tenor, has been a member of the professional version of Straight No Chaser since 2009, shortly after it formed. “Everybody in the group was in the col legiate version at some point in their col lege career,” said Trepp, who lives in Tulsa, Okla. “There are five members from the original group that started in 1996. Then there are four of us who went to Indiana and were members of the collegiate group there.”Straight No Chaser will perform Sept. 16 at The Center Celebration 2022 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts.

We’ve definitely been looking forward to it. We love any show we can do in Indiana. Those are our people.” After the show, Straight No Chaser will be inducted into the Great American Song book Hall of Fame. “To get any award is an honor,” Trepp said. “This one is really special because of who else has been inducted into it. To be among some of those names is really special. We’re very humbled and very honored.”

Regardless of occupation or role in life, we all hunger to be inspired, don’t we? And when that inspiration arrives, our performance suddenly excels. Whether it’s parenting, leading a nonprofit, being a CEO of a Fortune 500 company or on the line at a restaurant, inspiration is something we all seek. Some might call it motivation, being emotionally engaged or positive thinking. But it’s really all about inspiration. So, how are you inspired? Vacations are a leading poll winner, quickly followed by being in nature, faith-based moments and family.Steve Jobs was motivated to leave some thing behind that Sainte-VictoiremountainsrationfoundPaulmusicfilm,inspirationRojodancerDone!everything.changedBalletTamaraseeksintheater,andart.Cezanneinspiintheof in France and their changing landscapes through the seasons, which he painted in many interpretations. Dali was jazzed by a little village in Port Lligat, Spain, and Monet from the gardens of Giverny. You’ve seen the paintings! It seems that most artists/painters dis cover inspiration from nature, and I am no exception. Sunsets on any beach or a se cluded Arizona/Utah/New Mexico-mountain hike are particularly relevant. So is music. Loud music, my better half would say. A recent concert at Ravinia in Chicago taking in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on an especially beautiful night ignited several fresh paintings. The Palladium and gritty jazz clubs inspire me, too, as do family mo ments and faith. Need inspired? Try scheduling it.

Of course, nobody wants to be “luke warm,” so let’s examine a few more ex amples of miranyms. Think about “open” and “closed.” Some would say a door is either open or closed — there is no middle ground. However, when a door is ajar, it’s a little bit of both. In our old house, none of the doors fully close, but that’s a topic for my other newspaper column, “Grumble Guy.” Now, consider the opposites “all” and “none.” It’s not all or nothing if it’s “some.” In the same way, you don’t have to be “early” or “late” to something; you can simply be “on time.” Is there something in between “coming” and “going”? Yes — you can “stay.” Now shake. That’s a good boy. I think we’re quick to assign polar opposite words to many things these days. Their side is bad, while ours is good. Your opinions are either totally right or completely wrong. You’re an idiot! She’s a genius! It doesn’t take more than a brief glance at our Facebook or Twitter feeds to see people flocking to the opposite ends of the earth: I only shop at Target! People who shop at Walmart are the worst! Needless to say, social media ar guments generally focus on polarized politics.

In our continuing road trip, we come to Hyde Park, N.Y., where we will visit three sites associated with Franklin Roosevelt and his wife (Anna) Eleanor. Today, we visit Spring wood, the Roosevelts’ home. In 1866, James Roosevelt, a wealthy businessman, purchased a 640-acre estate, including a 17-room Italianate-style house and cropland, overlooking the Hudson River in Hyde Park. Roosevelt named the estate “Springwood.” On Jan. 30, 1882, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born to 54-year-old James and Sara Delano Roosevelt, his much younger second wife, in the upstairs master bedroom of the Springwood house. When FDR married Eleanor in 1905, the newlyweds moved into the Springwood house, owned by Sara since James’ death in 1900. In 1915, FDR, an amateur architect, convinced his strong-willed mother to un dertake a major expansion of the house to accommodate his and Eleanor’s growing family and his growing political ambitions. The remodeling added a third story to the center section, enlarged the entrance hall, added a north wing with eight servant rooms and recast the exterior in the Colo nial Revival style. During his years as pres ident, FDR visited Springwood more than 200 times, often for extended periods with his staff. After Franklin died in 1945, he was buried in Springwood’s rose garden and his family donated the estate to the United States, which opened the house to the pub lic in 1946. When Eleanor died in 1962, she was buried alongside her husband. Today, the Springwood house looks much as it did at the time of FDR’s death. The en trance hall includes a life-size sculpture of Franklin as a young man. Downstairs walls and cabinets are filled with items reflecting his varied interests, including birds and ships. Visitors can see where Franklin was born and the converted freight elevator he used after becoming paralyzed from the waist down in 1921.

GRAMMAR GUY Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

My kids still don’t know that Santa can’t live at the North Pole. There’s no land underneath the ice sheets that melt and atthroughoutrefreezetheyeartheplacewhere elves allegedly make toys. However, there is land underneath the snow and ice at the South Pole. This isn’t meant to be a geography les son (although I found both of those facts interesting). Moreover, it’s an icebreaker meant to introduce the term “miranym.”

A miranym is a word that lies in between two polar opposite words. It’s not “hot” or “cold” — it’s “lukewarm.”
