Obituaries: obits@youarecurrent.com
According to the proposed budget document, some of the 2023 budget ob jectives include; Expansion of marketing city events; continued development of the Trades District; starting design of the 75th & Oaklandon roundabout project; addressing drainage concerns; doing necessary repairs; expanding the Lawrence Police Dept.’s traf fic unit to address complaints; upgrading police vehicles to Chevy Tahoes; investing in technology, such as cellular phone investi gative tools and Flock cameras; leveraging critical crime-solving technology for offi cers and detectives; replacing Ladder 38’s firetruck; and repaving the parking lot and installing a playground at community park.
In 2019, the City of Lawrence reached its goal of having 20 percent of operating reserves, which is money left over in the general fund that can be put toward larger projects. The goal with the new proposed budget is to have a fifth consecutive year with 20 percent of general fund operating reserves. The city is reaching a point where it is looking to add a savings fund for its general reserves in the event of an econom ic downtown, Denny said.

“This is a balanced budget that’s been proposed.

“I think that (mental health) is one of those things that doesn’t really cross many people’s minds when it comes to thinking of public safety,” FPD Lt. Will Ortiz said. “Even though we have specialized training to help us deal with our circumstances and certain situations, we have very limited resources to help people when they’re unable to cope or deal with some of the things that we see on the Besidesjob.”fundraising, organizers say the softball game is a good way for the public to interact with first responders in a posi tive way.

The blue monster balloon was one of six specialty hot air balloon shapes introduced at this year’s Conner Prairie Jupiter Flights Balloon Festival. The balloon, called Ivo, is flown by Justin Cox of Carmel. He said he named the balloon after a person he works with in the Czech Republic. Cox has been around hot air balloons since childhood but only started piloting them nine years ago. This is the first time Cox has piloted Ivo at the Jupiter Flights Balloon Festival. “I love the scenery but one of the most fun things about flying is getting to meet other people at events,” Cox said.

In high school, Chris Hill would listen to the names of other distinguished alum an nounced at football games, always thinking how cool that honor is and never expecting his name to be called as one 20 years after hisIngraduation.2001,Hillgraduated from Lawrence North, where he played quarterback for three years on the football team, played trumpet in the band and most notably playedAfterbasketball.graduating, Hill played basketball at Michigan State University, where he received a degree in finance. He played professionally in Europe for a decade after graduating from MSU.
Since he has spent so much time in France, Hill is now fluent in French and is teaching his children French and English.
Today, Duke is the director of diversity for Indiana University Health network and works to ensure the hospital is partnering with women-, Black- and minority-owned businesses.“So,oneof the tag lines that I say to the kids I work with is that, ‘We can’t guarantee that you’re going to be successful, but we can guarantee that we’re going to equip you with the tools to be successful,’” Hill said. “So, that’s what I’m about is about providing our young folks and entrepreneurs with the tools to help them navigate to be success ful so they can have sustainable futures for years to come.”
Below is a look into each of these alum ni and what they have been doing since graduation.

“These recipients represent all that is good in Lawrence Township. Lawrence North High School produces young people who are very well educated and are able to lead others with class and dignity,” Law rence North Principal Brett Crousore said. “These individuals prioritized their academ ics and have since shined in their fields,” Hill was honored at the Aug. 26 football game at Lawrence North. Spencer was hon ored at the Lawrence North homecoming game Sept. 9, and Duke will be honored at Lawrence Central’s Sept. homecoming game.

ESSAY
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Heads up, people. Football season is here, and this retired dance mom actually has a chance to dominate my all-guys-except-for-me fantasy league. After countless years of losing in the Toilet Bowl, I finally kinda know what I’m doing. I recognize most of the bigname athletes and understand when to start a WR over a RB in the swing position. And I orchestrated my draft to pseudo-perfection, even though most will question my selection of QBs (Justin Fields is a dark horse, my friends!). The time to dominate a bunch of beer-guz zling men-children is nigh. I have no contractual obligations to attend week end-long dance competitions anymore, and I take very seriously the incredible responsibility I have to represent wom ankind. I will not fail!
It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Living the fantasy dream
Has the American body politic changed to the point that the melting pot has cooled? When we boast of the 2020 “record-high” voter turnout of a tick more than 66 percent, should we instead be talking about the third of us who opted out? Who is starting busi nesses? Who is guiding us into faith? Who is volunteering to serve? Who is raising their children to become the next generation of leaders?
Well, I might. Usually, I lose a key player in the first month or realize too late that all my point scorers have the same bye week. And to this day, I truly have minimal knowledge of the strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!).
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I do have an appropriately awesome name though — A Girl Has No Name — (Game of Thrones fans, you’re welcome!), which is half the battle, and the help of my stats-fanatic son, who dutifully scans my lineup every Thursday to make sure I didn’t start a defense that’s pitted against my premier offensive minions. I also hold two distinct advantages: I finished in eighth place in 2021 and I am female. There are literally no expecta tions of me winning anything. I can only impress!So,here’s to a victorious football sea son. For me and for women everywhere! Peace Out.

Many of us grew up with parents or grandparents who spoke with a dis tinctly not-native accent. As a kid, it all seemed to make perfect sense. It wasn’t until later that we came to realize that there was something different about our grandmother from those of our friends. Still, we all integrated into a community. A community, at least, where everybody sounded a bit different from each other but a community, nonetheless. It wasn’t equally easy for everyone. The occasional bigot would try to block the path. But in time, where and how people could con tribute would prevail. Perhaps it is in this very notion of service that hearts and minds are thawed.
Slight of stature and not a doppel ganger for an evening news anchor, Diego Morales is iconoclastic. Arriving with his family from Santa Cruz, Guate mala, he learned to speak English, went to college, served in the U.S. Army, then became a naturalized citizen, settled down and started his family. Now, he wants to be the first Hispanic to serve as Indiana Secretary of State. How is it that Diego, and countless others like him, in spite of what must not have been an easy journey, still pushes to march on, even charge the hill? Hope? Ambition? Fear? Gratitude? Responsi bility? A bit of each? Asked why, Diego points to the Parable of the Talents. He may be right.

they hunt. Barney often walked ahead of me but would twist his head around to be sure I was nearby, still part of the hunting party. When I would hide behind a tree and my footsteps ceased, he predictably turned to check my whereabouts. This method never worked with my wife, who once walked ahead of me for 3 miles while I waited be hind a tree to see if she would notice.
Aspects of Barney’s walks changed. He would waddle along with his body almost at a right angle, bent in the middle, so he could see me at every step. He had lost his radar.
Despite the loss of his hearing, he lived a happy life right up to the end. He could still smell a doughnut a block away and he remained bright-eyed and alert until his last day.

PLANNING
Self-advocacy skills don’t just appear, they need to be developed and coached to be effective. This is especially true for kids in the school setting, as they often fear being seen as “different” or “difficult” by their peers or teachers. It is important to set kids up for success by giving them the tools needed to find their voice.

Helping loved ones recover — When a loved one is ill, you can help their recovery even if you have no medical training. When you talk to them, get an update and be sympathetic, but quickly shift to a positive, upbeat tone. Don’t talk about your own illnesses. Let the person know that you are looking forward to meeting for lunch, or some other outing, in the near future. Have a funny story or wonderful reminiscence to share. Laughter is a great healer, and it can make the recov ering person’s day.
Fiber to fight diabetes — New research shows that people who are willing to more than double the fiber in their diets from 16 to 37 grams per day can better control diabetes. It needs to be a high amount of diverse types of fibers. Getting nearly 40 grams may sound like a tall order, but it’s actually not that hard and it could make a radical difference in your blood sugar level by increasing insulin production.

Walking for arthritis — Walking is so ben eficial in fighting arthritis pain that it’s considered a natural medicine. Painful, stiff joints make it hard to get moving but mov ing is exactly what is needed for pain relief. For maximum benefits, you should try to walk at a moderate pace for at least 30 min utes every day. If 30 minutes is too much, start with less time and work up gradually.
Ensure back-to-school success despite chronic illness
Improve your focus — Do you have more trouble concentrating than you used to? Studies show that our attention spans are declining, largely due to the use of technol ogy. We feel we have to respond to every text, alert and call immediately. Instead, try putting the phone on “do not disturb” mode for a few minutes when you need to focus on something else. You may find it easier to concentrate and you probably won’t miss anything truly important.
Back to school time means new places and new faces for kids, which can be ex citing and intimidating. All kids need to develop self-advocacy skills to be sure that they can confidently ask ques tions and speak up for their needs in the classroom. Kids with chronic illness can experience extra challenges in the school setting, making it even more important for them to develop self-advocacy skills.

One of the things I love about charcuterie is that we can dive into the cultures of various regions of the world by sampling bits and bites on a charcuterie board. Spain has all sorts of incredible options for your munching enjoy ment. Today, I want to draw your attention to three Spanish ingredients that go won derfully together: Fermin Iberico Chorizo; El Atrio Manchego Cheese Viejo; and Santa Teresa Quince Paste.
Commentary by Mark LaFay
“Rent” will always have a special place in Matthew Sumpter’s heart.The Geist area resi dent first attended the show on Broadway in 1997 with his mother, Sally Sumpter, and a close family friend, Matthew Schuster, who Sumpter describes as his older brother.

It has a sharper flavor, hints of black pep per and in some bites you may get a small crunch from minerals that develop from extended aging. I love this cheese!
“I got to see three-fourths of the original cast,” said Sumpter, a Lawrence Central High School graduate. “In 1996, it had al ready become my favorite Broadway show and I got to see it in ’97. It was a very life-changing moment for me. It was a spe cial experience sharing it with my mom and my older brother. We didn’t know how spe cial it would be.”
Two years later, Schuster told Sumpter and his mother that he had contracted HIV, which had turned into full-blown AIDS. In 2012, he lost a battle with brain cancer — which was a complication from HIV and AIDS — at age 42.

Quince paste, or “membrillo” in Spain, is a rich, delicious fruit spread made with the quince fruit. It is firmer than jam or jelly because it is naturally high in pectin. The pectin is activated by the heat from the can ning process and causes it to firm up nicely. Quince is made with fresh puree, cane sugar and lemon juice. It is both sweet and slightly tart, with hints of baking spices. Quince has numerous culinary applications, but it is par ticularly awesome with Manchego cheese.

Blueprint for Improvement: Midcentury modern-inspired kitchen
• Cambria quartz countertops provide a natural stone appearance with added durability and minimal maintenance.
• A window replaced a portion of upper cabinetry, helping brighten and open the space, while additional storage solutions increase functionality in the lower cabinetry.
• Ceramic tile creates a grid pattern along the backsplash, echoing the geometry of the cabinetry and infusing the space with midcentury style.
Before After
SCAN ME! for more photos
Built in 1960 in Indy’s Nora neighborhood, this home’s owners were ready to bring function and style to their kitchen, while preserving the home’s midcentury roots.
THE BLUEPRINT
• Cool gray tones weaved with a hint of green balance the warm wood tones, providing visual harmony and a pop of color.
Larry Greene is the owner of Worthington Design & Remodeling (formerly Case). You may email him at lgreene@worthingtonindy.com or visit worthingtonindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.
• Maple cabinets in a warm wood tone with flat-panel door and drawer fronts bring a modern touch and a sleek midcentury feel.
