A team of Noblesville High School girls has been nationally recognized for their skills in cyber security. COMPETITION Last month, the group participated in the 2019 Girls Go CyberStart Challenge, a cyber security skills-based competition designed to encourage girls to become critical thinkers and explore careers in the field of cyber security. The NHS team, which consisted of Samantha DuBois, Katherine Sandys, Lauren Sandys and Anna Taylor, placed first in the state and 19th nationally and was among three other Indiana schools to rank in the Top 35 nationwide. Warren Central High School ranked 23rd and North Wood High School ranked 31st. Indiana schools ranked sixth among the 27 states competing. The event, organized by the SANS Institute, challenged competitors to solve cyber security-related puzzles and tested them on topics such as cryptography, programming and digital forensics. Each team was comprised of four students and an advisor. Lisa Held advises the NHS team. “I am delighted by my team’s success in the Girls Go CyberStart competition,” Held said. “The young ladies had a blast working together using research, trial-and-error and creativity to solve the hands-on, engaging

challenges. It was an awesome experience.” Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch recognized the three Indiana teams July 24 at the Cybertech Midwest Conference in Indianapolis. “It’s exciting to see young women taking an interest in the cyber security field, a field mainly dominated my men,” she said. “Organizations like SANS Institute and the Indiana Dept. of Homeland Security that are supporting efforts to skill-up young females are such vital assets to our state and its workforce. The top three teams in Indiana have much to be proud of, and all teams have a bright future in front of them.” The competition included 656 students in grades 9-12, an increase of more than 250 from the previous year. A record 27 states sent teams. The program also expanded this year to include college-aged students. Both competitions awarded cash prizes for the top three teams in each state. According to the Indiana Dept. of Homeland Security, approximately 11 percent of cyber security professionals working today are women. Since 2010, cyber jobs have increased by more than 75 percent, outpacing the talent pool and resulting in more than 1 million unfilled cyber positions nationwide. In Indiana, an estimated 2,300 jobs are unfilled, according to CyberSeek, a website that identifies the need for workers in the field of cyber security.

Candidate doesn’t want donations By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Danny Niederberger is one of several candidates to recently announce a bid for Indiana’s 5th District in ELECTION Congress, but his campaign might look a little different than most. The 27-year-old Republican said he won’t accept donations but will pay for his campaign out of pocket. “For me, (expensive Niederberger campaigns) don’t make any sense,” he said. “Why would you put so much money into electing an official when that money could go toward education or any of the other problems we have in our society?” The Indianapolis resident is a Westfield High School and Purdue University graduate who works as a fund accountant for Miamibased Concise Capital. “I’ve had people offer to donate to the campaign, and I explain why (I don’t accept donations) and they understand,” he said. “The most difficult part about running this campaign is going to be getting in front of people. I don’t want to be on your TV, I want to be in front of you, because I believe that’s what a congressman should be.” Niederberger’s campaign is built on five pillars: rights of the unborn, reducing government debt, supporting the Second Amendment, enacting term limits and reforming education. This is his first run for elected office. “There are a lot of problems in this country, and we see a U.S. Congress that refuses to do anything about it,” he said. U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks recently announced that she will retire from Congress at the end of her term. The 5th District includes all or part of Hamilton, Boone, Marion, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Madison and Tipton counties. Learn more at dannyniederberger.com.

Dinner to benefit Teter ministry

“I needed guidance for my workouts to target my goals, not just a “one size fits all” approach.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com During the past three years, one church’s idea has grown into something bigger than initially imagined. FARM-TO-TABLE Teter Organic Farm, 10980 E. 121st St., Noblesville, is a 120-acre extension of Noblesville First United Methodist Church downtown. In 1981, Ruth Teter donated the land to the church in her will under the agreement that it be used for some type of recreational activity. Today, 3 acres are specifically used for growing organic food that is then donated to local food banks and pantries. The nonprofit has donated more than 30,000 portions of produce and has provided educational programming to more than 400 youth since 2016. On Sept. 6, a farm-to-table dinner at Purgatory Golf Club, 12160 E. 216th St., Noblesville, will fundraise for the farm’s mission of combating food insecurity countywide. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., guests can enjoy drinks and appetizers, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Executive Chef Samantha Lamberth is

Personal trainers, great facility, flexible options suited to my goals, and incredible support and encouragement from ALL staff members; my journey towards better health has begun at the perfect place for me.

Noblesville police chief to retire in January, 2020 By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com A career in policing that spans more than four decades is coming to end in January, 2020 when COVER STORY Noblesville Police Dept. Chief Kevin Jowitt will retire. The announcement came at the end of the day Aug. 19. Jowitt, who declined to give his age, said the decision to retire was not easy. “I think a lot of it is that I stopped ignoring signs that it was time. There were lots and lots of factors to think about,” Jowitt said. “One of my old mentors, Jim Bradley, who was a retired (Indiana) State Police sergeant and was with the prosecutor’s office for years, he and I had lots of long talks. One of the things I remember him saying when he was talking about retirement is, ‘You’ll know when it’s time,’ and he was right.”

Shift in policing Jowitt was appointed NPD chief in May 2009 by Mayor John Ditslear. The second-longest serving chief in NPD history, Jowitt said the nature of policing has changed in the past decade. “When I started as a police officer in the ’70s, it would have been absolutely unthinkable that a 13-year-old would

bring guns to school and shoot people,” he said. “We’ve also had two situations recently that worry me a great deal – the robberies of the phone stores. We’re dealing with masked individuals armed with handguns who come in and immediately threaten the lives of the people in the store. I think that in a very general way, we’re seeing an increase nationally and in central Indiana of people that are willing to use violence to do whatever it is that they’re trying to do, so that’s a big change, a big shift. “We’re living in a much more violent world.”

Growth of the department Today, the police department is approximately 30 percent larger in terms of manpower than when Jowitt started his career with the NPD. “I think we are better trained and better equipped. We certainly have absolutely continued to attract great people who want to be Noblesville police officers,” Jowitt said. “I am especially glad that we have been able to diversify more in every demographic, because I think a diverse police department is a healthy police department. We’re accredited (by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies), not just initially, but we’ve been reaccredited and gone through the process twice now. That’s a big deal. “It shows our commitment to professional performance and to follow our industry best practices. We’re very proud

of that.” Jowitt said the overall approach of NPD has undergone a significant shift as well. “In general, what we have been trying to do is to stop doing things because that’s the way we’ve always done them and start doing things that we believe are going to produce results,” he said. Under his leadership, city crime rates have dropped more than any city Noblesville’s size in the state in the past three years, according to FBI crim statistics. Jowitt also has implemented several programs, including problem-oriented policing teams, traffic and crime analysis units, Citizens Police Academy, National Night Out events, Coffee with a Cop and other intitiatives. “When we have citizens academy classes, I always help teach that first night, and one of the things I always talk about is how policing is a social contract,” Jowitt said. “People give police officers, through the political process, a tremendous amount of power. We’re the only people in the United States that are legally authorized to deprive people of their liberty and, in extreme circumstances, to use force up to and including deadly force. That’s been the nature of the national conversation, and I think in a lot of places, there is some resentment among certain elements of the community and among police officers for this change. But the people have the right to question and the right Continued on Page 15

August 27, 2019

COMMUNITY Continued from Page 14 to request consideration of change of the contract. We’re very fortunate in Noblesville in that we’ve got a tremendous relationship with the community. “So, many of the things that are flashpoints in other places just really aren’t issues here, and for different reasons, but I think a lot of what we’re doing right now with community policing and community outreach is trying to build a strong bridge and trying to build trust so that if something should happen, there won’t be an automatic assumption that we’ve done something wrong.”

Retirement Jowitt has lived in Noblesville for more than 35 years. He is married to Deb and has a stepdaughter, Crystal, the daughter of his first wife, Kim, a sergeant with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office who died in 2014 from breast cancer. Jowitt said he and his wife plan to stay in the area for a few years before moving to their home in northern Michigan.

“I’ve got an opportunity to teach at Indiana University. At least for a start, I’ve been asked to teach one (criminal justice) class in the spring,” he said. “My master’s degree is from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU, and I’ve been asked to come back and guest teach several times since I got my master’s in 2012. I really, really enjoyed doing that.” Jowitt said he also has received other employment opportunities that are in the conversation stage. Outside of his career in law enforcement, he said he looks forward to having more time for hobbies, like woodworking and building boats. “People always say retirement is bittersweet, and it really is,” Jowitt said. “I’m very excited about whatever it is that’s going to come next. I’m in a really fortunate position, because if I don’t want to work, I don’t have to, but I don’t know if that’s me. I don’t know that I’m done yet. It’s time to move out of the nuts and bolts of law enforcement, but I suspect whatever I’ll do next will somewhat be in that realm.” The next mayor will select Jowitt’s replacement in 2020. The mayoral election is in November.

Hired as a police cadet by the Indiana University Bloomington Police Dept. “The first assignment I had after we got out of our initial training was body-guarding Elvis Presley when he was at the (IU) Assembly Hall in May of 1976,” Jowitt said. “I got to meet him and shake his hand, so that was pretty cool. I also was assigned to the bench at IU home basketball games, so I was like 5 feet away from Bob Knight when he was coaching.” Becomes a commercial insurance underwriter Hired as a reserve deputy “(Insurance) was not what I was meant to do, and I really missed law enforcement, so I became a reserve deputy with the (Hamilton County) Sheriff’s Dept.” Hired as a full-time deputy with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Hired to start an investigations unit at an insurance company “Again, I started missing law enforcement, so I became a reserve officer in Cicero (in 1997).” Hired as a full-time commander with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office “Doug Carter had just been elected sheriff, and he brought me back to the sheriff’s department as commander of the investigations division.” Hired as chief of police for the City of Westfield Hired as chief of police for the City of Noblesville

Jowitt also has served on a number of boards and panels, including being president of the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police in 2017. Jowitt was recognized in 2018 when he was awarded the Distinguished Hoosier Award, which is one of the highest honors that the bovernor of Indiana bestows.

ESSAY

LETTER

Noticing failure

Thanks to my neighbor and our firefighters

Commentary by Terry Anker The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is an award winner. It routinely touts itself as an outstanding example of what a citizen-facing government agency can be. Our fine state has long worked to improve its services and attitude in dealing with we Hoosiers. Still, there are no guarantees. In four out of five exchanges, we have come to expect good, quick interactions in a clean and friendly environment. So, what of the dreaded fifth? What is the right number for failure? On a recent such “fifth.” the BMV staff was a bit muddled about how to properly transact a rather unusual swap of titles and plates between related family members. Knowing of the potential for confusion, the local branch was contacted and, separately, so was the main office downtown. Slightly different but related answers gave hope that a solution would be easily found. The ticket number, 44, was called to the desk at around 9:15 a.m. While there were two customers, only one chair was provided. The others were “zip-tied” together. Theft must be a problem. Alas, the transaction quickly flummoxed the pleasant woman seated behind the desk. Her supervisor had little more knowledge. “Try this” he said. If it didn’t work, they’d “try” something else. Soon, an hour passed. Still, while all the employees were comfortably seated, the customer stood. Number 78 was called, then No. 114, then 143. With the closing of another hour, the transaction was finally complete. Under tremendous duress, the branch assistant manager became involved, bringing his own chair to the desk, and was able to find a solution, albeit a clumsy one. Did they even see the failure? Do we notice our own – and if so, do we act like it matters? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Ready or not ... I’m not! Commentary by Danielle Wilson Tomorrow is the big day, people. I’m headed to the West Coast to drop off one of my twinkies at college. Yikes! What if I can’t do it, without, you know, crying? HUMOR The horror! I mean, I should be good, right? It’s not like I haven’t been through this before. When we drove Older Brother down to IU for the first time, I did an amazing job of suppressing my emotions. Now, it helped that he’d chosen a school less than 90 minutes away by minivan and with half of his graduating class in attendance. But still, I handled the adios like a champ. Except for a small meltdown at a Chick-fil-A earlier that summer, I shed no tears whatsoever. “Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out, kiddo!” But this feels radically different. In less than 48 hours, I’ll be single-parenting in a

strange city, 2,300 miles from here, saying goodbye to a son whom I once called my boiled chicken baby (his twin sister stole most of the food, so he was born rather puny. I can easily recall rocking him in those first few weeks and thinking, “I shouldn’t be able to see his bones. Where’s the beef?”). And then I’m expected to board a plane, fly home and ignore the fact that it will be Christmas before I see him again? What the fudge, friends? I’m not sure I can do that with dry eyes and a happy face. Seriously, how am I supposed to let this one go? Tomorrow’s the big day, and he is definitely ready. I’m just worried that I’m not. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” — Søren Kierkegaard

Editor, I am a resident of North Harbour who was sleeping at dawn the morning of Aug. 13 when I heard someone pounding on my front door and ringing the doorbell persistently. When I opened the door, a fellow resident of North Harbour, Tony Cermak, who had been driving by on his way to work, said, “Do you know your house is on fire?” Simultaneously, I began to smell smoke, and I asked Tony to call 911 for me while I grabbed my dog and backed my car out of the garage. Seems I had had a lightning strike, which burned through the attic and collapsed a ceiling on the second story and delivered water damage. Had Tony not stopped and persisted in awakening me, I would have perished from smoke inhalation. He is a personal and local hero whom I want to recognize and thank publicly. I would also like to recognize and commend publicly the quick action of our Noblesville firefighters. Some of them entered the burning attic at once, breathing in the smoke and getting singed on their boots by the heat. I was astounded by their gallantry and professionalism. My gratitude will endure as I support appropriate remuneration for those who take such risks on behalf of our citizenry. Caroline Hanna, Noblesville

Brown, Opera in the Park return to Garfield Park By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Opera in the Park is back and so is Angela Brown. Brown appeared at the CONCERT last Opera in the Park concert in 1997. The Indianapolis Opera will present the revised Opera in the Park performance at 6 p.m. Sept. 8 at Garfield Park’s MacAllister Amphitheater in Indianapolis. Brown and Daniel Narducci are guest soloists and it will be conducted by the Opera’s new artistic advisor, Alfred Savia. It will be presented in concert format with full orchestra and lively narration. Opera in the Park is an official production of the nonprofit Friends of Garfield Park in partnership with the Indianapolis Parks Dept. Admission is free. “This is going to be a relaxed setting where the kids can come,” Brown said. “You can bring food and your family. You can have a light, enjoyable evening with opera. It’s not such a stuffy experience but one that everyone can enjoy and feel like they can be part of.” Brown, a soprano from Indianapolis, will perform three numbers, “Vissi d’arte” from “Tosca” by Giacomo Puccini with Narducci, “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin and “Brindisi” (“Libiamo, ne’ liter calici”) from “La Traviata” by Giuseppe Verdi. Brown primarily performs across the U.S. and Europe. “Lately, I’ve done more solo work with symphony orchestras and my show ‘Opera … From a Sistah’s Point of View,’” Brown said. “That’s my show I take around to schools and performing arts organizations. It demystifies opera. I do that through my foundation, Morning Brown.” Singing came naturally to Brown. “I always say opera chose me, I didn’t choose it,” she said. “Once I went to school and learned to sing opera, I took to the technique like a duck to water. It was something that did fit my vocal ability. I had done a lot of musical theater in Indianapolis, mostly with the Civic Theatre. (Opera) encompasses everything I do from the acting, the singing, the movement.

Boz Scaggs to perform Nov. 23 at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs and his “Out of the Blues Tour” will make a Nov. 23 stop at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Tickets starting at $40 are on sale at TheCenterPresents.org and through the Box Office at 317-843-3800 or toll-free at 877909-ARTS (2787).

“I consider myself pretty funny sometimes, and then the drama of it all. Opera fits all those.” Brown graduated from Crispus Attucks High School, which was then a medical magnet school “I thought I wanted to go into the medical field, but I ended up going toward the arts,” she said. Brown attended Oakwood University in Huntsville, Ala., and then studied at Indiana University Brown teaches master classes and owns a private voice studio at the Basile Opera Center, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. “I’m going to be making my debut with Seattle Opera and New Orleans Opera doing “Charlie Parker’s Yardbird,” and the role I play is the mother, so I’m excited about that,” she said. The program will include excerpts from

the Indianapolis Opera’s 2019-20 productions of “Elixir of Love” and “Don Giovanni,” as well as other familiar chorus tunes and solos. “Elixir of Love” will be presented Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” is set for March 20 to 22, 2020 at The Toby Theater at Newfields in Indianapolis. The third performance will be “Brundibar” and “Vedem” at The Toby April 24 to 26, 2020. The park concert will conclude with a champagne toast (sparkling cider) celebrating the opening of the 45th anniversary season.

Britton Falls celebrates Woodstock By Renee Larr editorial@youarecurrent.com This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Woodstock music festival. Residents of Britton Falls, an MUSIC active retirement community in Fishers, formed the Britton Falls All Star Band. The eight musicians performed a Woodstock tribute concert Aug. 16 at Britton Falls. The band consists of Craig Beedy, Chris Pickell, Jim Landfald, Dick Shuler, Brian Laskey, Bonnie Loos, Janese Truver and Steve Rohrer. “We played around 20 songs that were all from the original Woodstock concert,” band member Janese Truver said. “They were all iconic songs that people recognized.” Attendees were encouraged to dress in era-appropriate attire. “We had people dressed in tie-dye and as hippies,” Truver said. “We had perfect weather, and everyone had such a great time dancing and singing. Summer of ‘69 was rockin’.” More than 500 people attended the tribute. Guests were treated to a rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s classic performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The band formed in October, 2018 and has been rehearsing ever since. Rorher has an extensive musical background. “He’s played with rock bands most of his life and was a member of the house band on Radio Station 104.5 GOLD All Oldies All the Time,” Truver said. “They played opening (shows) for The Spinners, Neil Sedaka and other national acts appearing in Indy. He now owns Reno’s Music in Fishers.” The band plans to perform more concerts in the future. “The concert was just terrific,” Truver said. “The comments and compliments have been nonstop. We are going to stay together and already plan to do another concert in 2020.”

Former Noblesville Mayor Mary Sue Rowland did not propose the idea for Shakespeare in the Park at Federal Hills ARTS Commons. But she brought on board the person who did. During her first term in 1992, Rowland appointed Jane Campbell as the city’s first “Minister of Culture,” a position designed to promote and grow the arts in Noblesville. A long-time arts advocate and leader of the Noblesville Shakespeare Club, Campbell proposed the popular Shakespeare in the Park series in 1993 and remained actively involved in it until her death in 2006. As a tribute, the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission created the Jane Campbell Award, given to an individual who enhances and supports local arts. The first award was presented Aug. 2 prior to the Shakespeare in the Park performance of “Macbeth.” The recipient was Rowland, who not only had the foresight to appoint Campbell, but also proposed the creation of the cultural board during the first of her two terms as mayor. Honored to be the first recipient, Rowland is even more delighted that the award

recognizes Campbell’s legacy for tirelessly strengthening local arts. “I was very pleased. It was a very thoughtful award,” Rowland said. “It was very special (to receive), especially at the Shakespeare event. I knew it would be successful and hoped it would last a long time, and it has.” Rowland is a lifelong Noblesville resident and served as mayor from 1988 to 1996. “Those were great days, and I am glad to have been a part of the vision.”

Blueprint for Improvement: A masterful bathroom remodel in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The floorplan was redesigned to connect the bathtub and shower into a single “wet room,” which maximizes available space and gives a true spa-like experience. 2. The double window over the tub was replaced with a sleek, single window that allows for privacy without the need for window coverings. 3. The tile floor features a glazed porcelain finish with the illusion of textured fabric. 4. The homeowners wanted a lot of drawer space, so the cabinets under the sinks were designed with drawers at the bottom to avoid interference with the plumbing. For the vanity, the countertop was lowered to make way for four small cosmetics drawers. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Background: This home was built in 1999 in the Fishers’ Sandstone Lakes neighborhood. The master bathroom included original finishes, plus a freestanding shower and standalone tub.

THE CHALLENGE This bathroom is connected via an open doorway to the master bedroom. The homeowners wanted to create a sophisticated, spa-like retreat that would blend seamlessly into their master suite.

History of Amsterdam Central Station Commentary by Don Knebel

SAVE THE DATE

September 15, 1-5:30 p.m.

See this year’s band line up at carmelporchfest.org Sponsored By

Amsterdam Central Station has become a symbol of the city, attracting more visitors than any other of the NetherTRAVEL land’s more than 60,000 national heritage sites. Like many other now iconic structures, critics originally panned its location and its design. Amsterdam developed along the south shore of a bay now known as IJ Lake. By the 17th century, the bay was among the busiest ports in the world. By the 1870s, trains had become as important as ships in bringing people to Amsterdam from throughout Europe. As a result, city planners identified potential sites for a major railroad terminal about a mile-and-a-half inland from the port. Railroad engineers had a different idea. They wanted to build the station on three interconnected artificial islands spanning the south end of IJ Lake. The Dutch government accepted that plan despite strenuous local objections. Because the terminal’s location effectively separated Amsterdam from its port, many at the time called the location a catastrophe. The station’s ornate brick exte-

rior, featuring turrets and intricate details, was designed by Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam’s famous state museum. Protestant critics lambasted its resemblance to medieval cathedrals. The station opened in 1889, after a number of delays caused by the instability of the marshy soil. It rests on more than 8,000 wooden piles and includes a platform more than nearly a half-mile long. The cast iron roof, supported on 50 curved trusses, was imported from England. Today, Amsterdam Central Station serves more than 160,000 passengers a day, many arriving and departing on one of 50 international trains. The only passengers now coming to Amsterdam’s port arrive on cruise ships, which dock near the backside of the station. When the queen travels by train, she has access to an ornately decorated waiting room built exclusively for her. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
