Friday, May 24, 2019 3:18 AM
On Friday, June 14, the eccentrically talented troupe, Polkaboy, will perform the popular series’ season-launching concert in Cool Creek Park. The summer concert series, presented by Hamilton County Parks, and title sponsored by Clay Township Trustee Office and Board, was first staged in the park in 1994. Many of the performers slated to appear this season, have played a role in contributing to the popularity of the historic series – including headliners like Jennie DeVoe, The Flying Toasters and Duke Tumatoe and the Power Trio.
In celebration of the concerts’ 25-year milestone, crazy fun activities ranging from a huge inflatable Wipe Out challenge ring to a zany Velcro wall have been planned. Visits from the Pacer Fan Van and added performances by Bach to Rock’s talented musical protégés will also be offered to concert-goers. And for the series’ opening concert, the park department is planning a very exciting anniversary surprise to delight music fans. Watch for details related to that surprise to be announced soon.

5/25/2019 ARCADIA – Hamilton Heights High School has begun implementing a program that is said to be a first of its kind in the state.
Representatives from the school and other organizations announced details about the State Earn and Learn (SEAL) program this week.
"For years, young people have been made believe that there is one path to success and that path is the same for all regardless of what students wanted to do in their future," said Carrie Lively, senior director of the Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship, which, along with the Indiana Construction Roundtable Foundation, is partnering with the school on the program.
The SEAL program is a way for high school students to take on construction apprenticeships for high school credit. They also get paid for the work they do, creating connections between students and possible employers in the workforce.
Eric Fisher, industrial tech and National Center for Construction Education and Research teacher at Hamilton Heights High School, said there usually isn't a monetary reward with internship programs similar to the SEAL program.
"This is going to be a way to connect kids to the employers, and while they're working as an apprentice they will also be able to earn a wage," Fisher said.

5/24/2019 Conor Daly’s chance is now.
The Noblesville native starts 11th in Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 and his No. 25 U.S. Air Force Honda is the best ride he’s had in the Memorial Day weekend classic but adversity helped mold him.
Last year, Daly made a late run on Bump Day to qualify for the 500 in a car built from a combined effort of two different teams and Daly started 33rd out of 33 cars, finishing 21st . This year, he’s racing for the team that’s won three of the last five Indianapolis 500s with two teammates that have won the race.

5/8/2019 Dear Editor,
As a former US Marine Veteran and FBI Special Agent for 28 years and Father of 4 children, all Purdue Graduates, I have witnessed great sacrifice and dedication by Federal Employee.
Federal employees serve and protect us every day at every level across the country and in our community. At no time was this more evident than during the 35-day partial government shutdown earlier this year.
From ensuring safe air travel to regulating new medicines to maintaining a safe food supply to processing Social Security checks, civil servants are everywhere, yet invisibly so. And, contrary to popular belief, 85 percent of the federal workforce is located outside of Washington, DC.
When natural disasters strike, they provide relief and help us rebuild. When mass shootings take place, they enter harm's way and care for the wounded. And, when once-eradicated viruses reappear, they investigate public health crises. Whether they are in the public eye or active behind the scenes, civil servants take pride in working for something bigger than themselves.

5/8/2019 Dear Editor,
Writer Ginger Claremohr wrote an excellent article “To vaccinate or not to vaccinate” depicting the situation of parents today when it comes to their children’s future health by vaccinating. It seems the medical industry tries to make children more perfect by creating vaccinations to add to their bodies.
My grandfather who was born in the 1880’s said the less you inject into your body the healthier you will be. There are 70 doses of 16 vaccinations imposed on our children today. As a child I had only two vaccinations; the polio vaccine and the small pox. My generation became naturally immune to all childhood diseases by either being exposed or enduring the disease. This natural immunity is with my generation today and I believe we should go back to natural immunity for all children.

5/4/2019 This is an exciting time for our community. For the first time in a generation, we have an open contest for mayor — no incumbent, no presumptive heir, just four candidates who have submitted their applications for this position. And now it is time for the citizens of Noblesville to decide who to hire as the next mayor to serve our city. I believe my proven leadership and experience make me the right leader — the right woman — at the right time for Noblesville.
First, as mayor, I will respect yesterday. I grew up two blocks from the square. Nothing says home to me more than walking south on 9th Street to the square. However, the square of today is not the same as when I sold Girl Scout cookies or delivered newspapers, and we can’t, and don’t, want to wrap it in shrink wrap. But we do need to ensure as things evolve around our authentic historic square that we don’t detract from the embodiment of our hometown values that draws people to our community.

5/25/2019 This weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer. I can proudly wear my white pumps and carry my straw purse, no one will claim that I am a fashion malefactor. This past week, I dug out my Chico’s white Traveler pants to wear to an outdoor event, but I was very aware of my shoe choice and I wore my black strappy sandals, lest my grandmother roll over in her grave. If you are not aware of the wearing of white rule, let me fill you in. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, it is perfectly acceptable and encouraged to wear white shoes, and carry a white purse. Woe to the gals who wear their whites during the fall and winter months, according to my mother; it is simply faux pas. This holiday weekend is not simply a marker for what to wear, or what not to wear. It is not only race weekend, the end of the school year, or the opening of the neighborhood swimming pools. It is a weekend that we honor those who have given their lives while serving in our Military. This weekend is also known as Decoration Day, the day many of us make the rounds to cemeteries. Each year, my in-laws dutifully drove from cemetery to cemetery delivering flowers and flags to family member who had died. It took them the whole day wandering Indiana delivering the goods, reminiscing the stories shared while giving honor to their lives.
Twenty-five years ago, I was widowed with a baby and two children of school age. Each year, in May, my children and I make time to visit the cemetery and the gravestone of David, to sweep away the debris, clean the headstone and place new flowers in the urns. I have always loved cemeteries, especially in late May. Walking through the peace filled place where bodies lay, put to rest; it is truly sacred ground. A cemetery is filled with stories, genres of all kinds, monuments, unmarked graves, baby land, large crypts, benches, and the military section are part of the swath of ground that reminds us of our past as a community and as a family.

5/25/2019 It’s a day that we will never forget. May 25, 2018.
Today is the one-year anniversary of the Noblesville West Middle School shooting that changed many of our lives.
A seventh-grader, armed with two handguns, opened gunfire in his classroom, injuring a science teacher and a fellow classmate. Thankfully, both the teacher Jason Seaman and the now NWMS eighth-grader Ella Whistler -- who was shot seven times and sustained injuries to her face, neck, hand and upper chest -- both survived.
The unthinkable tragedy left a community saddened but stronger as we picked up the pieces.
For days, weeks and months, we have been processing it all. Asking ourselves why and how it happened. How we somehow missed the signs. Or saw the signs but didn’t pay attention.
We’ve read every spoken and written word by the media, trying to understand and wrap our head around it.
But yet we still don’t really understand.
As parents, we hope and pray that we bring our kids up right. That they are kind, responsible, motivated and set high standards in their lives. And that when we explain to our kids the value of life, they get it.

5/24/2019 This Memorial Day will be the first time in 50 years that we will not have Noblesville veterans Bob Arbuckle, Howard Kenley Jr. and Stanley Robinson in attendance for services.
“Three members of the Greatest Generation (were) called home to serve the Supreme Commander of us all. Their presence will be missed,” said Lynn Epperson, Hamilton County Veterans Services officer, who brings their passing to light in remembrance.
Arbuckle died on Jan. 28, 2019, at age 96. He served in the military during World War II, enlisting in the U.S. Navy in Chicago in 1942, serving in Cuba, operating against the submarines, in the submarine detection corps. The Navy then sent him to officer training school, and he rose to lieutenant. He served on the U.S.S. South Dakota “a big battleship with 2,000 men on board.”
“I’ve been in the Navy, active and reserve, every since then,” Arbuckle would say, still wearing his Navy uniform and showing off his Navy sword at the 2018 Memorial Day ceremony.

Warner Sallman is an American born artist who was born in the late 19th century. He devoted much of his life to creating religious images that focused on Jesus Christ. Each of Sallman’s pieces is meant to provide a depth of religious value and bring a sense hope and comfort to the viewer. His most famous work is “The Head of Christ”, which he completed in 1941. The timing of this piece could not have been better as the world was in the early stages of World War II, and the U.S. would soon be entering the fight. This work would be printed in pocket size photos and handed out to the soldiers being shipped off to war to provide comfort and inspiration to many. There is a good chance that you have seen this picture as it has been printed hundreds of millions of times.
If you would like to see “The Head of Christ” and many more of Warner Sallman's original works then you can visit us at the Scheierman Gallery, located on Anderson University’s campus in Anderson, Indiana. We are open Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-4 p.m. or you can make an appointment to visit. We are closed during university breaks, which can be found on the Anderson University Academic Calendar, with exception to summer break when you can visit by appointment only. We look forward to seeing you!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
