Democrats say signs point to increasing numbers

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Greg Purvis knows what it’s like to be in the political minority.

A Hamilton County resident Election since 2000, the 66-year-old Fishers resident is a Democrat in an area that long has been dominated by Republicans. He has run for local office four times and lost each bid, most recently losing to three Republicans for three at-large seats on the Fishers City Council in 2015.

Now, he’s the communications chair for the Hamilton County Democratic Party, and he said he’s seen several trends that could indicate Purvis the county is leaning more blue than ever before leading into the 2018 elections.

“We have filled every state legislative spot (with Democrats) that even touches Hamilton County,” Purvis said. “I don’t remember the last time that happened.”

For the first time in nearly two decades, Democrats will have a primary election May 8 for county offices. Two candidates are running for the Hamilton County Council District 3 seat, and four are running for the Delaware Township Board, which has three available seats.

“When have you ever seen a Democratic primary in Hamilton County?” said Joe Weingarten, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. “We don’t even know when it last happened.”

Weingarten Hamilton County election records show that local Democratic primaries are few and far between. The last time it happened was in 2000, when three Democrats ran for two at-large seats on the county council.

But the tide may be turning. Two years ago, the Hamilton County Democratic Party had approximately 50 active precinct chairs, but this year that number is closer to 150. In 2014, Democrats had only a handful of local candidates on the ballot, and in 2016 they had candidates for all 11 local offices except judge.

This year, they have 21 local candidates with the possibility of adding more through the end of June. And the party had to move its monthly meetings to the Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers after increased attendance led to overcrowding at its previous home at Scotty’s Brewhouse in Noblesville.

Shelley Carey, a lifelong Democrat who grew up in Gary, said one of the first things she

heard after moving to Carmel in 2016 is that “Democrats never win in Hamilton County.”

She and her husband soon started attending the Hamilton County Democratic Party meetings, and within the last two years she said she’s seen local Democrats emboldened about their affiliation.

“At one meeting, a woman said she was reluctant to share that she was a Democrat in this area knowing she was in the minority, but now she proudly proclaims her choice of being an active member of the Democratic Party,” Carey said. “No one should feel any one party has a monopoly on our area.”

Primary participation In Indiana, official party affiliation is determined on the day of the primary election, when voters select the primary in which they’d like to cast a ballot.

The county does not keep records of how many people vote in each primary, but in the 2016 primary election 74 percent of all voters who cast ballots for the office of president voted Republican. In 2012, when incumbent President Barack Obama was unopposed in the Democratic primary, 95 percent of those voters took the Republican ballot.

Weingarten, a Fishers resident, said he believes the percentage of Democrats in the county is likely higher than the percentage of those who vote in the Democratic primary, as many voters believe their only chance to impact who is elected is through the Republican primary, specifically in municipal elections, which aren’t on the ballot until 2019.

Although the number of Democratic candidates is growing, many believe the percentage of Hamilton County residents who are Democrat is increasing, too. The recent proliferation of high-end apartment communities that at-

tract younger residents may be a factor, as 54 percent of millennials (ages 18 to 35) identify as Democrats compared with 48 percent of Generation Xers (36-51), 44 percent of baby boomers (52-70) and 41 percent of the Silent Generation (71-88), according to 2016 data from the Pew Research Center.

“There is a possibility that attracting younger people will result in the party affiliation and ideology of the county shifting, but that ignores the fact that not all young people are Democrats or liberals,” said Andy Downs, director of the non-partisan Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics. “Also, it is possible that having one party in control might cause the new folks to join the Republican Party even if they are more liberal than the party.”

Republicans remain confident Although Hamilton County Democrats are encouraged by the increased interest they’ve seen this year, Republicans say they’ve seen growth, too.

Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Laura Campbell, who also is a member of the Carmel City Council, said she’s been hearing that the county is beginning to shift more Democratic for years but has yet to see any solid evidence.

And while Hamilton County Democratic Party leaders said the election of President Donald Trump has energized their base and brought new people to the party, Campbell said it’s also been beneficial for Republicans.

“The presidential election brought out people who hadn’t been as involved in the party before, and many of them have stayed engaged,” Campbell said. “I think we’re looking for a very interesting fall election.”

USPS food drive set for May 12

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com On May 12, the National Association of Letter Carriers and the United States Postal Service and other partgiving back ners are asking residents to help Stamp Out Hunger during its 26th annual food drive.

In previous years, letter carriers and the USPS have collected more than 1.6 billion pounds of food nationwide in the past 25 years.

In total, 49 million Americans — an estimated 1 in 6 — are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Thirteen-million are children. More than 5 million seniors, 60 and older, are food insecure. Many live on fixed incomes.

“We’re proud of this food drive and the immediate help it brings to our local food pantries,” NALC Branch 888 President Ronnie Roush said. “We’re asking residents for their support to help make this another successful food drive. It’s easy to make a donation; simply leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on May 12 to help your neighbors in need.”

Food banks and pantries often receive

More than 1.6 billion pounds of food have been collected during the national Stamp Out Hunger food drive since its launching. (File photo)

the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

Anyone interested in donating are asked to leave a sturdy bag with non-perishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice, cereal, etc., next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on the day of the drive. Letter carriers will collect the donations when they deliver the day’s mail.

All of the food collected in each community will be donated to a local food pantry.

Ryan Feeney pauses in his Indy-based shop, Indy Art Forge.

(Photos by Sadie Hunter)

all things art Feeney talks Manning statue, metal forging

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis firefighter Ryan Feeney became interested in art Cover story at a young age, and that interest allowed him to pursue a successful career in art.

The 44-year-old Indianapolis resident recently completed the Peyton Manning sculpture in the Lucas Oil Stadium atrium. He has created an array of other breathtaking pieces through his years of metal work.

But his favorite work isn’t the Manning statue, but rather an 8,000-pound peace dove clutching an olive branch in its beak.

The piece was sculpted from more than 1,500 guns confiscated off the streets by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept.

“For me to do this dove, knowing these guns were off the street and some of these guns may have been used to hurt somebody, and now I know they’re not back out there in the streets,” Feeney said. “The families can be at peace knowing that those guns are out of the street.”

The guns used for the project spanned decades. Feeney said one was from the Civil War era. The dove is at the Indianapolis Public Library downtown, hanging in the main atrium. Feeney also forged the eagle on top of the 9/11 Memorial in downtown Indianapolis.

Yet, much of his artwork isn’t conspicuous in the form of statues, but rather staircase

railings and residential work. He launched his company, Indy Art Forge, in 1999 after he graduated from Miami (Ohio) University.

Feeney attended Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, where teachers helped shape his love of all things art. He also launched the rugby program there after attempting to play at Lawrence North High School until the travel time began to interfere with his practice.

Feeney completed many paintings and drawings but didn’t work much in 3-D until he got to Cathedral.

“At Cathedral, I got a portfolio together,” Feeney said. “I wanted to do something in art, so (my teacher) tutored me to a point where she got me to get a portfolio together. She said, ‘You have paintings and drawings. I know you haven’t taken sculpture classes, but need to show 3-D in your portfolio.’”

That introduction led to his double major in graphic design and sculpture.

As a firefighter, Feeney has a schedule conducive for an artist. He works 24 hours with the fire department and then has 48 hours off.

Feeney’s business partner is Jimmy Story, who works with cleints. Story worked for a commercial door shop before joining Indy Art Forge.

“The stuff I was doing was similar as far as technical skill set,” Story said. “Being full

time with Ryan is a pretty specific situation.

With him being at the firehouse, he needs a second pair of hands to keep the business running.”

Besides helping Feeney with the business side of things, the partnership has inspired Story’s creative side. Story said the most important thing he’s learned from working with Feeney is artistic confidence and having a transparent relationship with clients.

making manning Sculptor Ryan Feeney brought a local touch to creating the Peyton Manning statue in Lucas Oil Stadium. The Indianapolis firefighter acknowledged the hardest part of the project was Manning’s helmet.

“The face wasn’t that big of a deal, it was just getting the helmet right,” Feeney said. “I thought I would have artistic freedom to do texture.”

Manning, however, wanted the helmet smooth, so Feeney crafted it that way.

At the unveiling last fall, Feeney not only got Manning’s approval, but Manning’s mother’s as well.

“It was one of the scariest and happiest times in my life because I was like, ‘I’m pretty sure this is going to end up on ESPN,” Feeney said.

Daily rituals

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker There are some things we do once in a while. We eat ice cream. We take long naps.

Each is good, even great, in its own way.

They punctuate our lives with small respites of joy. They remind us that life is firmly ours to control – as much as we try to convince ourselves that we have precious little over which we can fully direct. Yet, there are other things, maybe even more things, that are a committed part of our daily ritual.

We do them at the same time, in the same way, and with the same approach each and every day, for decades at a time.

We brush our teeth. We tie our shoes. We look one last time in the mirror before turning out the light and heading out the door.

What we expect to see is unknown, even to ourselves, but we must do it. Without the simple action, the ritual would collapse. It is the step we take, every day, before departing our homes. Failure to complete the task could be disastrous – well, maybe not, but why risk it?

So, of these many quotidian sacraments, which are worth preserving? Of the thoughtless and habitual actions moving us from one morning to the next, are we squandering our effort on those of little consequence? Is it time to review our ceremony and consciously decide which adds value and which to dump? Sure, most dentists agree that the intentional hygienic process of cleaning one’s teeth should stay on the list. But, as we review our own peculiarities, is it less clear as to the import of our other lesser daily actions? If we spend a minute a day for decades, or perhaps a lifetime, can we feel good about the market’s return on our investment?

Prevent child abuse

Editor, It has been said that children are onethird of our population, but 100 percent of our future. Despite the need to protect such a valuable investment, it has been shown that one in 10 chilno more dren will be sexually abused secrets prior to his or her 18th birthday. That number is sobering, as it means that there will be an estimated 400,000 babies born in the United States that will, at some point, be sexually abused.

Indiana, along with 31 other states, has passed legislation requiring child sexual abuse prevention programs to be taught in schools. These programs will provide tools to adults to enable them to prevent, recognize and respond appropriately to child maltreatment, but more specifically to child sexual abuse. These programs also will assist children by empowering them to understand that their bodies belong to them, and by helping them to identify whom to tell if someone is mak-

ing them feel uncomfortable. This “double-pronged” approach to teaching both adults and children is imperative.

Often, a child does not disclose sexual abuse for fear of not being believed, or because he or she feels the abuse was their fault. Having informed adults who can assist a child with a disclosure can have an immediate impact on the child’s healing process. It has been shown that prevention education, and education that assists adults in responding appropriately, can increase the rate of disclosure, can decrease self-blame and can help to reduce further victimization.

Schools and youth-serving organizations are so important in this effort to prevent child sexual abuse, so it is imperative that the right kinds of programs are utilized so that the very best practices can be used to protect our children … our investment.

Sandy Runkle, MSW, LSW Prevent Child Abuse Indiana

I survived my first prom dress shopping experience! With my oldest daughter, that is (back in 1989, I’d searched for months before discovering a spectacuhumor lar off-the-shoulder taffeta number with puff sleeves that perfectly complimented my magnificent bangs). She’s attending “the big dance” next week, and as most of you already know, it’s all about the dress.

She had ideas about length and color, and of course, I had ideas about cost and cut. Anything over-priced or too revealing would be off the table. “I’m not spending hundreds of dollars for you to look like a lady of the night!”

After navigating the jungle that is Macy’s for 10 minutes, we found the juniors section. She went left, I went right, and we reconvened with nine potential winners between us. “To the dressing room. Away!”

Holy, moly. My daughter rocked every single one she put on. Navy, burgundy, satin, chiffon, sequined, plain, it didn’t matter.

Stunning. I don’t know why this surprised me, but it did. I’m so used to seeing her making weird faces in leggings and a ratty t-shirt that I don’t think of her as a beautiful young woman. And the self-confidence!

Does she care her acne’s flaring up? Or that she takes after me in the small-chest department? Nope, not in the least. She stood in front of that mirror like a runway model, strong and fierce and gorgeous.

Managing meditation stress Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My sister meditates and claims it makes her feel like another person. She has a small apartment in New York, humor so I hope there is enough room for everybody.

Meditating must be working for Linda because she once sent me a recipe with directions like: • I tbsp of chili sauce (DO NOT USE KETCHUP!) • I cup of whole milk (ABSOLUTELY NOT SKIM MILK) She was a little on edge back then, but now when I ask for one of her famous recipes, I get things like: • I tsp of butter (unless you prefer olive oil — just go with the flow) • 2 oz of sour cream (yogurt would be more wholesome, but use whichever tastes better to you) I wanted to learn how to meditate. I sent my wife a text to see if she also was interested. When Mary Ellen got home she was really upset. “We’ve never been happier.

What brought this on?” My text said it was time for the two us to try mediation. Darn spell check.

To begin my journey, I got a book called “How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind,” by Pema Chodron.

Pema’s book begins with this quote: “Our life is an endless journey: Meditation allows us to experience all the textures of the roadway, which is what the journey is all about.”

Obviously, Pema has never driven in Indianapolis, because any journey here is all about avoiding potholes.

The book uses expressions like: The principal of newness; having a naked heart; getting closer to yourself; scanning your body; tasting your emotions. Way, way too new age for a guy in old age.

Now, I’ve downloaded an app called Headspace to walk me through some meditation exercises. My sister thinks this will make me a less material person. Linda is wrong about that: I’m a humorist … so the more material, the better.

How to choose a running shoe Commentary by Joseph Hui As the weather gets warmer, many people will lace up their shoes and get back into or starting a running spring activity program for the first time. For a runner, shoes are everything. But how does one choose the right shoe?

The first question is – what type of surface will you be running on, road or trail?

Trail-running shoes are typically heavier and designed to protect the foot and encourage stability on uneven, rocky surfaces. These shoes offer durable soles with more aggressive tread patterns and are generally wider and sometimes have an additional layer in the sole to reduce pain caused by stepping on debris.

Next, identify the type of running pattern you have. Find a well-used pair of running/ athletic shoes from your closet and examine the wear pattern of the tread. Your running pattern is generally broken into three categories: underpronation, neutral and overpronation.

Overpronation typically occurs in runners with a flat to medium arch. If the sole of the shoe is worn down near the inside of the shoe near the big toe, then you have overpronation. Underpronation, the least common type, typically occurs in those with high arches and can be identified when the outside of the sole is worn down near the

pinky toe. Neutral runners are in between and typically have even wear-pattern of the inside and outside of the fore foot.

For overpronators, shoes with a stiff midsole are generally more helpful and are marketed as motion-control shoes. For underpronators, neutral-type shoes are more helpful. Finally, for neutral-pattern runners, a stability shoe is typically the best fit.

The most important thing is how comfortable they feel. There has been a recent shift in the scientific literature to promote comfort as a strong predictor to reduce the incidence of running injuries.

For those who experience discomfort in the knees or hips during or after running, consider purchasing an over-the-counter orthotic. Take your shoes with you to the store. Start with the “blue” (neutral) insole, place them in your shoe and don’t forget to take out your existing orthotic. Walk around the store for 20 minutes to make sure they’re comfortable. If they aren’t, change them out and repeat the same process.

When you’ve found a comfortable pair, work your way into them during the next three to five days.

Duke Tumatoe joins John Waite to kick off Fishers’ Friday-night concert series

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Duke Tumatoe can afford to be picky.

“There is only so much that makes sense to do at my age,” Tumatoe said.

Tumatoe, a 71-year-old CarEVENT mel resident, will be making his first appearance in the AMP After Dark concert series June 8 to kick off the Fishers series set for Friday nights. As a result of construction at the Nickel Plate District AMP, the concerts will take place on the Central Green through June 22.

Tumatoe and his Power Trio will perform before John Waite, former lead vocalist for The Babys and Bad English. Waite’s solo hit “Missing You” was a No. 1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. Tumatoe will warm the crowd up with blues and humor.

“I’ll do a few of my old stuff, from the last 10 to 12 albums, and some blues tunes and have some fun with them,” Tumatoe said. “We’ll see what the crowd is into and we’ll go from there.”

Tumatoe, whose last album was released in January 2017, is working on an album that likely won’t be released until 2019.

“We’ll be all over the place June through October,” Tumatoe said. “I don’t travel like I used to do.”

Tumatoe prefers venues where crowds are there to enjoy the music.

“Showcase rooms, performance halls, theaters, concerts where I can get a crowd that has come to see me,” Tumatoe said.

“There are some venues that just are not as much fun to play in as others. At this point of my career, I’ve done enough stuff just for the sake of doing it. It makes sense now to get the kind of crowds to listen to what I do. What I do comes from a blues background, but there is a lot of storytelling and mischief in it.”

Tumatoe said some people misunderstand the blues.

“The blues in its natural element is intended to make fun of life, all the way from dead presidents to 300 pounds of heavenly joy,” Tumatoe said. “I have four generations

of family that come to see me and hire us for private events. It’s heartwarming to get the response I’ve gotten over the years.”

Tumatoe is well known for working for the “The Bob & Tom Show” on radio in the mid-1980s.

“It’s almost like I have two careers, where there is Bob and Tom, where people associate me with humorous things and

topic-driven stuff,” Tumatoe said. “Then there is my blues career, not that they don’t overlap in my live shows.”

For several years, Tumatoe performed the song “Lord Help Our Colts,” which he updated each week during Colts’ season.

“This year they brought me out of retirement because the Colts were so bad, and I did about 12 versions,” he said.

Commentary by Mark Johson Where to go: Burgerhaus Where it is: 89 Veterans Way, Carmel When it’s open: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mark’s take: Let’s talk about burgers, shall we? Better still, let’s talk about Burgerhaus, a great restaurant for gourmet burgers. The menu features an impressive list of burgers with an array of toppings.

Not in the mood for a burger? No worries, appetizers, salads and other entrees are available. So, enjoy a meal at a hip, stylish eatery with friends, family, co-workers or all the above. It’s a great dining experience.

What to get: For first-timers, I recommend the Haus. This one is closest to a traditional burger with a lot of room to ex-

Sauvignon blanc for springtime Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Sauvignon blanc is a great choice for warm weather. It’s a green-skinned grape that originated in WINEderlust Southwest France.

Like any grape, it takes on nuances of the soil and environment where it’s grown. Thus, sauvignon blancs from different parts of the world do vary in color, taste and body. My favorites tend to be described by terms like: fresh, crisp, aromatic and elegant. Usually, sauvignon blanc is both food-friendly and sippable, making it smart to have on hand in case of impromptu entertaining. I’ve got three to suggest. Two are the same price, but stylistically different. The third will be a splurge.

First up is Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 ($19). In full disclosure, New Zealand wine is normally not my favorite, but it is wildly popular. It tends to be too stylized for me. This option is from a famous NZ maker, Kim Crawford, and is a great choice.

The wine shows off big ole’ grapefruit flavors, typical of the region, without being too over-the-top. It boasts a successful blend of lemon, lime, fresh thyme and pas-

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

sion fruit flavors. Yum. Second is a pretty French selection, Domaine de la Perriere Sancerre, 2016 (also $19ish). Almost green in color, it has perfumed aromas of white flowers and peaches. In the mouth, it is citrusy, minerally and a tiny bit smoky. This wine is a great choice with salads, asparagus or white fish.

Merry Edwards has been one of my favorite American (and female!) winemakers for many years. Her wine is great. All of it.

The Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 is $39 a bottle and worth every penny.

Always highly-rated, it is a blend of 70 percent sauvignon blanc and 30 percent sauvignon muscat. Golden in color, it smells like nectarines, apples, pineapples and quince.

Mouthwatering and bright, think tangerines, candied citrus, pink grapefruit.

She is a graduate of IU, Hoosier Chef, Food Writer, Wine Guru & Hamilton County Master Gardener who believes in supporting all things local. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade. Check out her blog: www.schlepicurean.com.

SUNDAY, MAY 6, 3PM The Palladium at the Center of the Performing Arts The premiere of Rachmaninoff’s First Symphony was so poorly received that it took years of psychotherapy and hypnosis to drive away his self-doubt. Thankfully, he persevered with the triumphant Symphony, a lush and romantic masterpiece that moves us to this day.

A Bastion of Jaabar Castle near Raqqa, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Syria’s historic Jaabar Castle Commentary by Don Knebel A castle in northern Syria has a rare distinction – it figured in battles during the Crusades and in the recent Syrtravel ian civil war.

The Jaabar Castle, known in Arabic as Qal’at Ja’bar, is atop a hill about 25 miles west of Raqqa. Since the seventh century, the hilltop has been fortified to guard a crossing point on the Euphrates River that connected Raqqa with the west. The first castle on the site was built by local Bedouins in the early 11th century and came under the control of the Ugaylids, a Muslim dynasty, in 1086. Members of the First Crusade, who captured Jerusalem from the Muslims in 1099, gained control of the castle in 1102.

The site was recaptured by Muslim forces in 1147. Nur al-Din Zangi, who succeeded in uniting Muslim forces against the Crusaders, rebuilt the castle beginning in 1168 to help hold the surrounding territory against future Crusades. The restored castle included an oblong stone wall 1,210 feet by 560 feet, protected by 35 bastions and a dry moat.

Many of the structures of Jaabar Castle, including a circular minaret, were constructed from mud bricks. Although the castle was extensively damaged by Mongol raids, the minaret has remained intact.

Beginning in 1968, Russia built the Tabqa Dam across the Euphrates River just east of Jaabar Castle. As a result, the hilltop on which the castle rests is now an island in Lake Assad, reachable by causeway. In 2014, the so-called Islamic State gained control of Jaabar Castle, using it as a training facility and making threats against the Tabqa Dam. In January 2017, Syrian forces recaptured Jaabar Castle. In May 2017, forces supported by the United States recaptured the Tabqa Dam, leading to the liberation of Raqqa, which the Islamic State claimed was its Syrian capital.

If your goal in life is to spend your weekends perusing chandelier catalogs while wearing a grammar guy gold-rimmed monocle in one of your five lake houses, you probably should brush up on your grammar. Today’s focus is on ending sentences with prepositions, which is almost universally seen as a big no-no by traditional grammar aficionados.

Before I surprise you with my take on the subject, let’s revisit what prepositions are in the first place. A preposition is a word that connects a noun to another nearby word or phrase in a sentence.

Let me give you some examples: • Mari tripped (over) the sleeping puppy.

• Joe showed off his amazing dad dance skills (during) the Milli Vanilli concert.

• I locked my keys (inside) my car again.

Supposedly, it’s a huge grammar faux pas to end a sentence with a preposition. In most cases, I agree. The primary instance in which you shouldn’t end a

sentence with a preposition is when the preposition is unnecessary, like in the sentence: Where did you put your keys at? The reason this sentence is wrong is because “at” is unnecessary.

Here’s where some old-school grammarians will wag their fingers at me: When you have to drastically and unnaturally alter your sentence structure to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition, don’t worry about it. By doing so, you either sound way too formal or like you’re doing a Yoda impression. Instead of saying, “The polo match was rained out,” people will contort their sentence into, “Rained out the polo match was.”

Sure, it’s important to maintain formal sentence structure when the occasion calls for it: In a job cover letter, in academic papers and when ordering at multi-Michelin star restaurants. But, in everyday usage, ending the occasional sentence in a preposition isn’t a big deal.
