4-Hers prepare for queen pageant

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The reign of Sarah Huber will come to end this week as a new young woman will be crowned Hamilton County 4-H Fair Queen. fair This year’s pageant will be at 7 p.m. July 12 at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. This year’s 20 contestants vying for the title include Courtney Adams, Sheridan; Taylor Bedwell, Fishers; Emily Burris, Noblesville; Dorian Bush, Noblesville; Stephanie Chinn, Westfield; Victoria Comin, Noblesville; Kayleigh Crane, Fishers; Katie Fillingsness, Fishers; Rachel Flanders, Noblesville; Kendall Gatewood, Noblesville; Morgan Hasler, Atlanta; Christy Kettler, Westfield; Kyleigh Kimbrell, Noblesville; Miranda Lipps, Atlanta; Jana Lowery, Fishers; Madison McFadden, Noblesville; Kara Moody, Noblesville; Kelly Moorhous, Arcadia; Zoe Schwab, Noblesville; and Shelbi Tidd, Fishers. “They are a great group of girls,” pageant director Molly Drummond said. “They are doing fabulous and paying attention to our suggestions.” Moorhous is competing in her third pageant. She finished fourth runner-up in 2011 and third runnerup last year. Moorhous said she first entered the pageant to make new friends and has continued to make more every year. “I make friends from different areas of the county,” she said. As an experience participant, Moorhous has tried to assist new members with advise about being on court, the time commitments and what to do during the pageant. “It’s the little things,” she said, “like watching when walking down the runway that your big, puffy dress doesn’t knock over the plants.” Drummond said the contestants contain a mix of returning contestants and first year participants like Morgan Hasler. “I came in not knowing what exactly to expect. The experience has been really good. Everybody has been really nice and inviting,” Hasler, a nine-year member in 4-H, said. “The best advice I’ve been given is to have fun and be myself.” While she hasn’t competed before, Hasler has attended previous pageants. “I would answer the (contestant’s) questions with my mother sitting next to me,” she said.

More than 100 area children enjoyed a fun-filled day learning first-hard about the jobs of police and fire officers during the Hamilton County Jr. Law Enforcement Academy. diversion Director Mark Fidler said the one-day camp was held at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. Fidler, who serves as a chaplain in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, said the camp is open to all children of law enforcement officers in Hamilton County. “Its fun for the kids,” he said, adding it gives children and their friends a better explanation of their parent’s role in law enforcement. “It brings the community together to say we are all here working for the same reason.” Fidler said this year’s theme was integrity and included guest speakers Carmine Azzato, a professional wrestler, and boxer Alphonso Bailey. “They shared about their life and being a wrestler and boxer and a Christian and what integrity means in their life,” Fidler said. The day camp also included games, activities, demonstrations and root beer floats. Fidler said a K-9 demonstration showed how officers train the dogs and use them for search and rescue or to take down a suspect. SWAT team members blew up items much to the excitement of children. “They love the police car rides,” Fidler said. Noblesville Police Lt. Tony Craig has partici-

pated with the program since its inception nine years ago. “We started out in Forest Park with about 40 kids and one or two sponsors. We’ve grown to 100-plus (children) every year and seven or eight top of the line sponsors,” he said. “The camp has really grown into a wonderful multiagency camp and such a great community outreach program where the kids really get to meet us as people behind the badge.”

Water-treatment facility completed By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Indiana American Water has completed construction of a new two million gallon per day water treatment facility in utilities Noblesville. The $3-million facility and related infrastructure is on the city’s north side along Allisonville Road. Officials said the improvements will increase capacity in the Noblesville system by almost a third for area customers. “This new facility puts us and the community in a great position as we head into the summer months when we typically see water usage significantly increase,” said IAW President Alan DeBoy. After drought conditions hit the Midwest last summer, IAW accelerated the Allisonville Road treatment facility project. Initially, a new well was placed in service temporarily and the company fast-tracked the project to build a new treatment facility and place new transmission water mains in service this spring. “Access to a reliable and adequate water supply and infrastructure is a key component of the success of our community,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. “We have worked closely with Indiana American Water over the last several years to upgrade our system here, and we appreciate the investments they have made to support our efforts to make Noblesville one of the best communities in the nation in which to

live and work.” Since 2007, IAW has completed several capacity related improvements in Noblesville worth more than $18 million. In addition to the Allisonville road project, the company also has added pumping and treatment capacity at the White River North Treatment Facility, constructed a one million gallon water tank near Promise Road and 186th Street, and installed a new booster station. DeBoy said these improvements increase the system pressure and production capacity of the Noblesville system. It will also enhance fire protection capabilities and the ability to move water when and where it is needed. IAW also invested $375,000 last year to retrofit almost all of the community’s fire hydrants with Storz quick-connect hydrant nozzles, which allow firefighters to connect to hydrants with a quick, quarter turn action. IAW’s Noblesville District has approximately 14,550 customer connections.

Angel of Hope

Memorial devoted to all who’ve lost a child By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com In 2008, Noblesville’s Kristen Forbes, 23, died after a yearlong battle with cervical cancer. One of Forbes’ coworkers and friends, Megan Hall, was killed in an automobile accident the next month. Both the Forbes and Hall family have spent the last five years overcoming their grief and dealing with the void left in their lives. Cover Story “To help all parents in our community who have lost children, we are building the Angel of Hope Memorial Garden in (Noblesville’s) Forest Park,” Kristen’s father, Kirk, said. “Our vision is a quiet and healing place where parents and families can remember their children. A memorial to children who once played here. Though they are absent from our lives and our community, they will be remembered for many years to come.” There are 118 Angel of Hope memorials in the United States and Indiana has six with the closest one in Hendricks County. “It is our hope as bereaved parents and members of the community

that the Angel of Hope Memorial Garden fulfills an important need in the Noblesville community – now and in the future,” Forbes said. “It will be a beacon for all regardless of religious background who are trying to cope with the emotional and physical absence of their child.” Forbes, who heads the committee to build the memorial, said its fundraising goal is $125,000. “This will provide the angel statue, polished granite base, engraved bricks, path to the memorial, signage and plaques, landscaping and night lighting,” he said, adding that construction is based on fundraising. “October is the minimum time. If it takes a lot longer, it won’t be until next year.” While fundraising is still in the early stages, $10,000 has already been pledged. Forbes said the committee is searching for a major corporate donor but is selling Bricks of Remembrance for $100. “Their name is enshrined forever and that’s huge for me. Kristen left us five years ago and to have her name written forever, not on a tombstone, but on a memorial is just priceless,” Forbes said. “Every brick has a story.” One brick purchased belongs to Jim and Brandi Bates who lost their son, Zander, from an umbilical cord complication during his birth on Aug. 20, 2010. “I go to the one (Angel of Hope) in Avon to break down sometimes. It’s a neat thing the city has allowed to come to the area. It will be very beneficial for the people of Noblesville and Indianapolis,” Brandi said. Brandi said infant and child death has been a taboo topic in the past and thinks the memorial will provide support for parents and family members. It will be located in the south end of Forest Park. “It’s a wonderful place to provide solace and remembrance for parents who lost children,” Brandi said. “It’s a peaceful area for it – kinda secluded and semi shaded.” “This is a next level project,” Jim said. “It’s a place where anyone who needs some reflection time can go.” Sue and Bill Childs lost their 23-year-old son, David, in a motor vehicle accident in 1999. David was on his way to work when his vehicle was struck. “The hurt is still the same,” Bill said David was the younger of the Childs’ two boys. Bill described him as an athlete in football and wrestling who really looked up to his older brother. David graduated from Westfield High School in 1994. “He was a good guy who loved children,” Bill said. “He was just starting to find his niche in landscaping. It was sad when it happened because he didn’t get a chance to get married or have children.” The Childs said the Forest Park location provides a happy place to come. “We used to bring him here when he was little,” Bill said. “It’s a good idea because you don’t have to go to the cemetery and think depressing thoughts,” Sue said. “We’re going to come here with our grandchildren and share stories of David… It gives you a way to talk to them and let them know what happened.”

K now more The memorial will center on the Angel of Hope statue which will stand about 7 feet tall. It will be an octagon shape measuring 48 feet across with bricks engraved with children’s names and messages from families and friends radiating out from the angel. Three large flower pots will hold planted flowers to celebrate the children’s lives. Surrounding the brick memorial will be bushes and trees. The entire memorial will be illuminated by a lighting system. A 60-foot path will lead from the main park walking path to the memorial. For more information, call 6953551 or visit www.angelofhope.info or the Angel of Hope Memorial-Noblesville Indiana facebook page.

The backgrou nd The Angel of Hope statue was introduced in the book and movie, “The Christmas Box,” written by bestselling author Richard Paul Evans. In the story, a mother mourns the loss of her only child at the foot of an angel monument. Upon learning that grieving parents were looking for the angel as a place to grieve and heal, Evans commissioned Ortho and Jared Fairbanks of Salt Lake City to create one. The angel is bronze with the face of a child, arms raised out as a child wanting to be lifted. In her wings is the word HOPE. The angel represents all children who have died. The first Angel of Hope was dedicated Dec. 6, 1994, in Salt Lake City.

FR O M   T H E BACKSHOP Is liberty giving way to tyranny? “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson

Real-life heroes It is our position that individuals who dedicate their life to public safety are the real community heroes. The tragic deaths of 19 elite firefighters who were killed while fighting the Yarnell Hill wildfire in Prescott, Ariz., serve as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifices emergency personnel make for total strangers in their communities every day. Yet, it seems professional athletes and entertainers steel most of the spotlight, and unfortunately, the headlines. Imagine a community where firefighter shirts replaced football jerseys for leisure wear. Posters of pop-stars and baseball trading cards are forsaken for the names and faces of police officers, doctors and nurses. Not to mention the enormous disparity in income. Credit must also be given to the brave parents, spouses and children who selflessly share their loved ones with the entire community. As A.W. Smokey Linn wrote in his fireman’s prayer, “I want to fill my calling, and give the best in me, to guard my neighbor and protect his property. And if according to your will, I have to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand, my children and my wife.” Thank you to all the real life heroes who keep our community safe.

Getting the butts out Commentary by Terry Anker What is the difference between a neighborhood in decline and one that is great or becoming so? Europe is filled with spectacular places – old cities, public art and centuries of accumulated cool stuff. But each grand bridge, charming street and quaint facade comes with its own progressive price tag. Like the human kind, architectural aging comes at a high cost. Weather, war and watchlessness each takes its toll. Yet, the supposed inevitability of the decay is highly disproportionate in its impact. Some streets, filled with ancient buildings, appear fresh and solid. Others, even with much newer edifices, appear ready for collapse. What makes the difference? Certainly, there are some innate qualities that support longevity. Wind and water, especially of the saline variety, pushes the genetic makeup to the limits. But so much, even the single most important, lies in maintenance. Of course, a leaking roof quickly becomes an all-in collapse if ignored for even moments. But the big problems are usually the ones

that are ignored – the small ones, especially in the aggregate, can be even more dangerous. Communities large and small struggle with graffiti and garbage – as they have for centuries. Money, building materials and loads of elements lead to their management. Good leadership and ethical institutions are crucial to be sure, but the role of the individual cannot be discounted. Just this week, I watched as a man stood in front of an aging storefront in our fine community and used the car key from his pocket to fish cigarette butts from the cracks in the sidewalk in front of his shop. Why did he take this initiative? Let along, what made him take notice? How much in our lives could be fixed with simple effort and not grand gesture? I want to shop in that store – the guy seemed to care. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Read that again, please. We trust you celebrated the Fourth of July in fine fashion and took stock of exactly what Independence Day ultimately means. As we all get back to work, the memories of festivals and fireworks fading somewhat, we believe it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves of the need to fully examine what Thomas Jefferson said. Actually, if not frighteningly, it has an extreme modern-day application. So, let us ask: Do you fear government at any level, but especially in Washington? Do the recent scandals involving the IRS’ unwarranted investigation into conservative political groups and the NSA’s surveillance scandal – and let’s not forget the retroactive amnesia associated with the terrifying events in Benghazi - give you reason to feel apprehensive about government’s intentions? Do we really understand what liberty means? Do we really understand what the Fourth of July means, aside from sparklers, parades and blueberry cobbler? It’s never to late to grasp and embrace. If you have children, do they know? Do we all really value being reared in a free society that, despite its warts, is the best on Earth? Is it possible to understand liberty’s true meaning if you’ve never experienced any of the variety of alternatives? Are we at that point, though? Does the national holiday we celebrated just last week have a different feel to it than it did, say, 10 years ago? We believe that if everyone is being honest, the answer to that would be a resounding “yes.” Maybe Jefferson should have said that in order to gain liberty, government needs to respect the people. Sadly, that never will happen. That’s our take, but we want yours. Please share your views with us at info@youarecurrent.com.

The deadly blasts end now

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Listen up, people. Passing gas in bed is not something to be proud of. Despite my husband’s arguments to the contrary, it is humor harmful to others and can destroy relationships. And I, for one, am no longer going to stand aside and pretend that this presumably natural body function is acceptable between the sheets. This ends here and now. Granted, I’m a bit crazed this morning. Between my family’s dog suddenly deciding she needs to have a potty break at 4 a.m. (and whose incessant whining only seems to wake me up), jet lag (I’m only four days back in country from my North Africa/ Middle East adventure, which I survived with minimal incidents, thank you very much!) and Doo’s early morning gaseous antics, I am not thinking altogether clearly. So I’ve decided to concentrate my sleep-deprived efforts on saving the world from oh-dark-thirty “bomb” attacks. What galls me the most is how funny Doo thinks he is. When I told him about his consecutive cacophonous pre-dawn assult, and that the result was a nightmare where he stole my food and then abandoned me in a medieval Koranic school somewhere in Morocco (the stress of my trip is still lingering), Doo howled with laughter. No “I’m sorry I kept you awake” or “I feel terrible for what I subjected you to” or even the slightest hint of embarrassment. Truth be told, my accusations somehow made him feel more manly, more

Distinctive and detailed design with a hotel-like ambiance. An uncommonly high level of hospitality and choice. A place focused on connectivity for residents, guests and the community alike. Welcome to Wellbrooke...now open and ready for you, featuring:

macho, MORE hilarious. Come on! I understand if you’re alone and the urge strikes . . . go for it. They’re your nostrils you’re searing. But when your partner is within the blast zone with no opportunity to escape or even protect herself, honking your butt horn is rude, and frankly, immature. What grade are we in? And OK, I’ll admit to sometimes finding the situation extremely funny, too, but that’s when I’m fully awake and coherent, and I know he’s just trying to lighten the mood. True – I suppose every so often breaking wind occurs mid-REM. Like sleepwalking, the person is not aware of his toxic actions. But the noise my husband was generating this morning and the consistent spacing and sheer forcefulness of the sounds left no doubt in my mind that he was in full control of his emissions system. Uncool, Doo. Uncool. If you or someone you love is suffering a similar situation, join me in spreading this important message: Cheese cutting should take place in a well-ventilated area, not the bedroom, and if possible, with an ample, clearly a communicated warning. For the sake of relationships everywhere! Peace out.

This years Sheridian BlueGrass Fever festival is expected to draw an even larger crowd than the one shown here at last year’s festival. (Submitted photo)

Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is mid-summer highlight By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com As the summer reaches its midpoint, local fans of bluegrass music will have much to celebrate. On Friday and Saturday, the Sheridan Historical Society will roll out its MUSIC annual Sheridan BlueGrass Fever. The festival, which is in its sixth year, will feature two days of food, workshops, and, of course, lots of bluegrass music. This year’s festival will be held on the hillside lawn terrace on Sheridan Veterans Park, at First and Main streets. Featured acts on the bill include Circle City Bluegrass Band, The Little Roy and Lizzie Show, Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band, Blue Mafia, Cumberland Gap, and Karl Shiflett & the Big Country Show. The Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is part of the Sheridan Historical Society’s community outreach mission. The society’s goal is to preserve the history of Sheridan through family histories, museum collections, and pioneer artifacts. As festival chairperson Brenda Bush explained, Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is an outgrowth of that community building. “It started out as a pilot in 2008,” she said. “We started testing events that were centered around the George Boxley Cabin. We wanted events that would celebrate culture and history.” Boxley Cabin, as it is known today, is itself rich in history. It was constructed in 1828 by Virginia native George Boxley, a fugitive abolitionist who would later establish the first school in what was then known as Adams Township. Boxley spent the remainder of his life an educator, and continued to aid runaway slaves. “Boxley Cabin is a big part of our history and our culture. This is a multi-community event,

and we are constantly growing,” Bush said. “In 2009, we had 400 people. In 2010, we celebrated the Sheridan centennial and drew a crowd of 1,200. In 2011, we gated the event for the very first time. Our budget for this year’s festival was $17,000. We also received a grant from the Hamilton County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.” Of course, the accent during the festival will be on the one element that is known for bringing people together, the music. On opening night, the Circle City Bluegrass Band will start the show, and their appearance has become a staple of the festival. The CCBB, as they are known, was the first act to perform at the inaugural festival.

If you go Friday 6 p.m. – Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band 7 p.m. – Cumberland Gap 8 p.m. – Circle City Bluegrass Band Saturday 2 p.m. – Blue Mafia 3 p.m. – Karl Shiflett and the Big Country Show 4 p.m. – The Little Roy and Lizzie Show 5 p.m. – Blue Mafia 6 p.m. – Hickory Hollow Bluegrass Band 7 p.m. – Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band 8 p.m. – Karl Shiflett & the Big Country Show 9 p.m. – The Little Roy and Lizzie Show Tickets are $20 for both days; $10 for Friday and $15 for Saturday. Children 12 and younger are not charged admission. For more information, visit www.bluegrassfever.net.

“The guys in CCBB all love playing bluegrass music so we enjoy it anywhere we get to play. But Sheridan has been pretty special for us,” CCBB bass player and emcee Dean Metcalf said. “From our very first show, we’ve always felt warmly welcomed by the audience and the event organizers. The park, cabin, and gazebo make a beautiful setting for outdoor concerts and we seem to have wonderful weather every year. It makes me proud to be a Hoosier sharing a perfect Indiana evening with other Hoosiers.” Both Bush and Metcalf agree that one of the many high points of the festival will be an appearance by teenage banjo wunderkind Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band. “We are thrilled to have Jeremy Morris back this year,” Bush said. “He’s 16 now, but he started playing at the age of 6!” “We met Jeremy Morris the first time we played in Sheridan, when he was just this little kid playing a few songs on a banjo. It’s been amazing watching him grow into a professional musician and bandleader,” Metcalf said. For festival organizers and performers, it would seem that the excitement, the venue, and, most importantly, the audience are more than enough to keep the festival alive and vibrant for years to come. For the audience, the festival offers a midsummer pinnacle, a two-day event filled with music, culture, and community. “CCBB is fortunate to have Sheridan on our schedule and Sheridan is fortunate to have such an incredible facility and great annual event. We’re looking forward to it again this year,” Metcalf said. “So many people look forward to the festival,” Bush said. “For them, it’s the highlight of summer!”

Vacation increases DVT risk

Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot inside a vein deep in the body, especially in the legs. DVT may not have any symptoms but can cause pain, swelling veins and warmth in the leg. If untreated, people with DVT are at risk for developing a pulmonary embolism in which the blood clot breaks away and travels to the lung, which can be fatal. Approximately 600,000 people in the United States have a pulmonary embolism each year, and more than 10 percent of them die from it. Pulmonary embolism occurs equally in men and women and doubles for each 10 years after age 60. Vacations are a particularly dangerous time for DVT because extended travel on an airplane, car or train can increase your risk. This is especially important if you have recently had surgery, are pregnant, overweight, smoke or have a history of blood clots. Risk of DVT should not keep you from traveling this summer if you take these simple steps. • Studies have shown that wearing compression stockings during a trip can significantly reduce your risk for DVT. These stockings help increase circulation in your legs. Make sure to purchase medical grade stockings,

fitted by a trained professional. • Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and avoid caffeine or alcohol because both are dehydrating. • Wear loose, comfortable clothes. • Get out of your seat every hour or two. Walk up and down the aisle. In an airplane, it is helpful to request an aisle seat so it is easier to stretch out and move around. In a car, stop at a gas station or rest area and walk around for a few minutes. When you walk, the muscles of the legs squeeze the veins and move blood to the heart. • Move every half hour or so while you are seated. Rotate your ankles, draw circles on the ground with your toes, flex your feet and toes and raise your legs slightly and hold them in the air for a few seconds. • Avoid crossing your legs while you are seated because it prevents circulation and can cause blood to pool in the veins. Taking these steps will decrease your risk for DVT and give you a happier, healthier vacation. Jeffery P.

Real vs. really is really not so hard Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I hear people use ‘real’ and ‘really’ interchangeably all the time. For example: ‘Traffic is real bad out there right Grammar guy now.’ Is this correct? It just sounds wrong to me.” Answer: Reader, you’re right that this doesn’t pass the sniff test – or the sound test, as it were. What we have here is a case of mismatched adjectives and adverbs, and it’s a very common one, as you’ve pointed out. An adjective, such as “real,” serves to modify, augment or describe a noun. That’s just what they do. Adjectives turn cars into red cars, grass into long grass and books into good books. You get the idea, here. The word “real” modifies a noun to indicate that is not artificial; that it has “objective, independent existence.” Without getting into a philosophical debate, we’ll just say that “real” indicates something exists, unlike unicorns or, say, people who use their turn signals on Keystone Ave. Adverbs, like “really,” serve to modify everything that isn’t a noun: verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, etc. They just don’t modify nouns. With adverbs, you can arrive someplace quickly,

rather than just arriving. You could also arrive there slowly, but that’s rather rude. “Really,” like its adjective cousin “real,” indicates that an action actually occurred, or that a description is truthful. “Really” is also used as an intensifier to emphasize the truth of statements. Some examples: “You really messed up this time.” “It’s really pouring out there.” “You really should use your turn signals.” In our original sentence, we see that “real,” an adjective, is being used to modify “bad,” another adjective. Now that we know adjectives don’t work that way, we’ll need to make a correction: “Traffic is really bad out there right now.” “Bad,” the adjective, modifies the noun “traffic” by telling us its condition – in this case, not good. “Really,” the adverb, modifies the adjective “bad” by telling us, more or less, “how bad.” The rule here is simple: Adjectives only modify nouns. Adverbs modify everything else. With this knowledge, go forth and conquer, dear reader. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

About 150 miles northeast of Damascus are the partially reconstructed ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra. Those ruins include travel what has been described as the most important religious building in the Middle East during the first century, a building that mimics the Second Temple in Jerusalem with one very important difference. Palmyra was founded near a fertile oasis in the middle of the Syrian Desert in about 2000 B.C. It began to prosper as caravans traveling between the Far East and the Mediterranean stopped for water and supplies. The residents were only too willing to accommodate the travelers if the price was right. By the first century, Palmyra had become one of the wealthiest cit-
