PASSION WEEK AND UNHOLY PASSIONS

reprinted with permission of IPR Indiana Policy Review 

Passion Week and Unholy Passions

by Mark Franke

We are in Holy or Passion Week, the most significant eight days on the Christian calendar. It is a week of remembrance of the original Passion Week which occurred nearly 2,000 years ago.

The week proceeds along a very emotional roller-coaster ride for Christians. It begins with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem amidst a crowd of exuberant worshippers, no doubt made even more enthusiastic with the news of the raising of Lazarus just days before.

While the excitement dies down over the next few days, there is still tension throughout the week as Jesus teaches openly in the Temple against the wishes of the elites of His day. It reaches its quietest point on Maundy Thursday evening in the solemn and contemplative Last Supper in the upper room.

Then things get really bad, really fast. His arrest and secret nighttime trial ends with a horrific execution in a manner never equaled in human history for its state-invoked cruelty.

But then, after a day of uncertainty, the week concludes with the glorious miracle of the Resurrection.

That’s how the week proceeds for Christians. What, if any, lessons can it provide to Christians and non-Christians alike?

Whether one believes Jesus of Nazareth to be God Incarnate, His life provides an example for us all in how we deal with our fellow man. Did He ever shout someone down, preventing him from speaking in public? Hardly. Instead He engaged opponents in the open, leaving them in wonderment sometimes and extremely frustrated other times. His approach was to combat wrong ideas with superior ones and win the day by persuasion rather than by a show of verbal or physical force.

He was opposed constantly by his religious and political adversaries yet He never once demanded they lose their positions. He didn’t organize any mass protests or incite a mob to “cancel” anyone. Even though He was right — He was God after all — He patiently confronted their attitudes and behaviors without devaluing them as human beings.

There was no double standard. He never exhorted anyone to do what He Himself would not or could not do. “Do what I say, not what I do” is not the lesson to be learned from His teaching and action. Compare that with today and our openly hypocritical public officials who embarrassed themselves during the Covid shutdowns. But it also includes the rest of us, too often comfortable in our cocoons of self-righteousness at the expense of others.

Can one even imagine Jesus dividing people into groups of greater and lesser worth based on purely external and visible characteristics? He could condemn sin, and make no mistake on this, He always condemned sin yet without irredeemably condemning the sinner.

In what may be the most misunderstood and misapplied of all the Gospel accounts, the story of the adulterous woman in John 8 stands out. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” is misquoted on a quick draw basis whenever someone tries to escape being called to account by others. But the story does not end with that admonishment. Instead, Jesus looks at the adulterous woman and commands her in no uncertain terms: “Go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11 KJV) This was not “I’m OK; You’re OK” pop psychology.

Then there is His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. Jesus did not shun her for her birth as a despised Samaritan but still caught her in a lie about her husband. One more sinner was called to repentance for her action, not cast out due to her superficial identity with an unfavored group.

The examples are clear and challenging to us today if only we would listen.

Perhaps the hardest lesson to learn from Him lies in His first words from the cross. “Father, forgive them . . .” Forgiveness? For those who railroaded his conviction and execution? Well, He was . . . is . . . God Incarnate but the world would be a whole lot better if we all learned from Him to practice more forgiveness and less payback.

We live in awful times, the worst in my seven decades of life. I am sure things were much worse in past centuries but it still rankles that so much of our current woe is of our own making. We have an exemplar from 2,000 years ago if we would only humble ourselves to learn from Him. But can we? Or is our profane passion driven by hateful prejudice toward those who disagree with us rather than the unbounded love of our fellow man which caused His very real passion of intense suffering? Even non-Christians should see the wisdom of this great teacher. And faith enlightens us believers even more.

“When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:8 ESV) Good question.

5 APRIL 2022 DEARBORN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING NOTES

 5 APRIL 2022 DEARBORN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING NOTES


Present: Jim Thatcher, President, Art Little, and Rick Probst


Also present: Connie Fromhold, Auditor, Andy Baudendistel, Attorney, and Sue Hayden, Administrator


TITLE VI STATEMENT FOR COMPLIANCE was read by Baudendistel as legally required.


OLD BUSINESS


RFP for Employee Benefits Broker:

Summary - Mike Kramer Pinnacle Advisory Group- Kramer said they provided a copay plan for employees so that they know up front what they owe. Deductible plans are different. He thinks they were 5.8% annual increase since 2010. Compares favorable with the 8-10% trend for private insurance. It’s easy for new people to come in and say they can come in and provide all tag we did. 20% of the cost of our plan his adm costs and stop loss plan. 

The 80 % is medical claims purchases. 90% of DC claims are at the St.Elizabeth’s system. We are the only one with a direct contract with St. E’s and their doctors. We also have all their affiliated doctors under contract. That’s another 800 doctors. Anthem, United, etc. cannot beat our contract. They would have paid another 20% if they didn’t contract .

We have $3.5 million in claims. Pharmacy claims are about $1million. You pay the actual cost of the drug in our plan. We pay rebates to your group.They have done a very good job with the wellness in the plan.  They also have concierge service. It’s integrated with the plans and the employee can find the cost, quality, etc. They can even h=get appointment set. Telehealth and tele-therapy is offered.  He stressed that they have been good stewards of the plan. There is a risk of about $830,000 that they have been able to negotiate for the county.  

Probst- what is the total cost that we run through you. $5.5million. Optical etc are rounding out the plan but that is voluntary. Boast delivers several options to the employees on these.

Three tiers- normal PPO, St E’s and Tri Health. Plus there are multiple contracts with all their doctors. St E’s is trying go stop some of these contracts for the future, but we still have the only one. Pinnacle has the contract and they offer it to their people they cover.


Summary Michelle Pike- Hylant- Only able to get limited info. This is a family business. We treat our clients like family too. They have a team and she named the individuals that serve the customer. The goal is to be the best steward of the money. The employees have a blank check and we try to make the employees better stewards too. There are people who help guide the employees through the benefits. If they are chosen as the broker- First they would have the discovery process. They would have to make sure they are compliant. The goal is to make everyone good stewards of the plan. According to her knowledge they have the ability to negotiate with Med Ben-. Kramer presented a letter from Med Ben that says otherwise. Hey are not allowed to piggyback on what Pinnacle (Kramer) has negotiated. Jill would be the person who works with the county employees. They are good at communications. They do open enrollment meetings. They have developed different strategies to communicate with employees They have. a QR code too. She has no data really from the county to give them % and cost numbers. They do have 5 contracts set up for pharmacies that save 20-45%. Regenex is what they use the most. They use autologous stem cells. Instead of $70,000 back surgery it might be $7,000 injections. If orthopedics are a problem this would be useful to you. Why Hylant? It’s a hard decision. I can tell you what we’ve done for other clients. 

Probst- was asking about if they are pre-empting the doctor or patient decision. No the patient gets to choose.

Also asked about pre-existing conditions. They would start over with different insurance and not be an issue. 


Probst stated his reasons for deciding to “stay with the devil we know”. We have something good. We have nothing that says specifically we will get more savings elsewhere. They did not want to have the employees not have transparency. Probst asked for Leah Bailey’s opinion. Thatcher would not allow her to speak. Said it wasn’t fair. The decision was with the board.

Thatcher said this is not personal. It is business, Pinnacle has been good to us and they have been our broker for 13 years. We are looking for cost savings. We can raise taxes or cut expenses. 

He asked for a motion to accept Hylant from Little. Little agreed. Passed with Thatcher and Little Aye and Probst NAY. 

   


NEW BUSINESS


Permission to Approach Council- Bill Shelton, Building Commissioner- wants to ask for $10,000 for part time to train and cover a full timer who is retiring soon. The other is the unsafe building ordinance was in effect and $30,000 was funded. It reverted to county general as they didn’t use it. Now he will present the properties and ask for $100,000 funding and non reverting for this one time ask. There is far more of this than they had before. Commissioners approved going to Council.

Commissioners approved the ordinance amending Article 2, section 200. 


Todd Listerman, County Engineer:

ALLENS BRANCH AND WEISBURG ARE GETTING COMPLETED- Waiting on asphalt plants to open. 

Bridge work projects are starting also. There are road closings when the equipment gets in for the project. They need to have further discussions on an issue affecting 3 properties on Bonnell Road. Might do a permanent fix rather than a temporary fix there.  


Jason Sullivan, Director EMA- Memorandum of Understanding with FEMA for Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS)- no cost to the county. Approved. 

EMA Board member is no longer affiliated with HVL. Dave Wissman is willing to assume that spot. Approved.


Certificate of Appreciation for Jim RedElk- Jim RedElk was not present for this. Probst said Jim is resigning his position. He praised what he has done for the parks. He thinks it is now to a place where we should be able to take it beyond the volunteer level. Commissioners approved and signed the certificate. They will present it at the Park meeting tomorrow, 



ADMINISTRATOR – Sue Hayden- nothing more. She will be unavailable for the next meeting.  


AUDITOR – Connie Fromhold  -Claims/Payroll and March 15th Minutes approved. Probst abstained on the minutes as he was absent then.


TIF Annual Report- Review- no voting needed.


ATTORNEY – Andy Baudendistel- Interlocal Agreement with Ohio County- Steve Kelly came with something like this last year. This is similar but Covid money. Each county received $100,000 to run the clinics etc. Our auditor’s office administers both. Approved.


ARP American Recovery Program funding is being. Government services offered by the entity ( private corporation that has public benefit perhaps)  that receives the money. This is in relation to Hogan Water Co. request. There are buckets for infrastructure and buckets for lost revenue. Many think you should put it all in lost revenue.  April 30 is the deadline to decide this. The plan has to be in place. Baudendistel said the plan has to be in place. $9.8 million Andy will talk to Baker Tilly regarding these deadlines.


COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:Probst- commended Hwy Dept with wind damage and trees down etc. 

Little - reiterated Probst’s comments. 

Thatcher- also agreed. Even though we disagreed on the insurance decision and he appreciates the work Pinnacle has done for the past 14 years. Any good business reviews contracts 3-5 years, Competition os a good thing. 



LATE ARRIVAL INFORMATION- none


PUBLIC COMMENT Leo Rumschlag PE Janssen and Spaans Engineering, Inc- offices in Columbus IN - proposal for hwy contract they submitted. He has done these before. There were other proposals.

28 March 2022 Dearborn County Plan Commission Meeting Notes

 28 March 2022 Dearborn County Plan Commission Meeting Notes

Present: Dennis Kraus, Jr., Chairman, Russell Beiersdorfer, Mark Lehman, Jake Hoog, Joe Vogel, Dan Lansing, Jim Thatcher, Jeff Hermesch, and Eric Lang

Also Present: Mark McCormack, Plan Director,  Nicole Daily, Zoning Administrator, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

Baudendistel read the Title VI statement as legally required.

ACTION ON MINUTES- February 28, 2022 minutes approved.

Welcomed Jeff Hermesch the new County Extension agent to the board. He came from Decatur County where he’d been in the same position for 8 years there. 

OLD BUSINESS:

NEW BUSINESS:

Request: A Zone Map Amendment from R to B-1 to allow a series of commercial uses Applicants: CLM Surveying & Engineering.  Uhde Investment Properties LLC is the Owner . Site Location: The northwest corner of the Stateline Road and Sneakville Road intersection Legal: Sec. 34, T 7N, R 1W, Parcel # 15-01-34-104-008.000-006 Township: Harrison Zoning: Residential (R) Size: 3.128 Acres 


McCormack presented the elements necessary for a zone map amendment request.  There is commercial property to the north and southeast. There is a part of a nursery - 4 Seasons- there. The rest is residential. The future land use plan is in concert with the uses in the area. Oblique imagery shows residential mostly around it. Because it doesn’t have concept development plan will be reviewed based on the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE use based o\]upon the B-1 requirements, including the conditional uses. 

A traffic study can be required if its use exceeds 1000 trips per day. Without a traffic study they suggest a written commitment that it will be required. McCormack recommended they have that if it were to receive a favorable recommendation. 8-10,000 sq ft per acre is maximum density. We rarely get to this number. 

He said they did not put a sign up as he didn’t have one in the car…..

No significant slope or flood issues on this property.

Roads - Stateline is a category 2 arterial. 4,600 -8,066 are traffic volumes in the area. Sneakville is a Category 2 Collector road. 

Sanitary sewer will be via LMH. 

Still need more letters from Fire and EMS and schools.

McCormack went over the 5 criteria that must be met for a zone change.


McCormack read John and Mary Reddington’s 2 emails that he requested be read at the meeting. He was opposed to the request. “Open ended zone change is like a blank check.” He also wanted to know if there were covenants on the Grubbs Estate subdivision near this. No other letters were read but were in the packet. 

This property has had 3 different zoning classifications. 1965-1980m-R 1980 Commercial.1987 Residential. It is unclear how that final zone change happened. 

There was discussion with the board regarding possible covenants and how to find them . Eric Lang has a conflict as he is doing an alternate survey on this property. Baudendistel suggested he step down and leave the room at this point to honor that conflict of interest. Thatcher was not wanting to have a recommendation come to commissioners with a potential covenant issue. Lang had said that his survey will find this info if it exists. And that should be done before the commissioners get the zone change recommendation.


Michael Morman co-owner of CLM Surveying. He presented the Fire and EMS letter of approval. Still no school response. Perhaps because it is not a residential.

Uhde has been approached by potential businesses. There is a bank interested and that is what he believes is the alternate survey. All the uses are indoors. They are willing accept any conditions you might wish to put on this. The bank is looking to purchase the entire acreage all for themselves. They are willing to do a traffic study. 


Opened public discussion.


John C Hollis- Gribbs estate residence since 1984. Were told by the developer that this would be residential. There is a drainage area along the tree line and a 24 in culvert. He is opposed to non- residential use. 


Gary and Cynthia Noll - Stateline Rd. - concerned about traffic in that area and quite a few accidents right there. Lived there his entire life on Sneakville and Stateline. Wants its to stay Residential. 


Donna Gutzwiller- Lives behind the back end of this- agrees with the other two. Keep it Residential. 


Dottie ?- Just want to NO say- what if the business doesn’t last. See how many banks have closed in that area. Think about what you would want next to you. 


Kevin Wasburger- asked about the red color for churches- answer- they can be in either zone. Agreed with everything said before. Once you change it to B-1 - it can be many different things. There was a realtor online as being under contract for business. You can see how people don’t trust things. Thatcher assured him- it hasn’t gotten done - so that is not true at this time.


Anthony- and his wife?- 16 year residence.Bought as they were told this is residential. He maintains that his, Gary’s and Dottie’s property is actually more contiguous than the businesses in the area. He is concerned about his daughter and safety. Noise issues and potential rodents etc, 


Rob Epling- had the other map brought up and showed how it is part of Grubbs Estates. Board agreed that is was part of that development which is RESIDENTIAL. Stateline is a highway. The business district is actually in downtown Bright. That property will be churned.


Boyd Cooper- Opposed to development there. Been there 12 years. Don’t sign a blank check on this. He cited the conditions of the and, the cars that park in the church lot at night, banks would have security and lights at night. Now one wants to look at tech back side of a business and strangers in the area. 


David Bosse- Lela Drive for 29 years- agree with previous statements. There is existing property towards downtown Bright that is available for this kind of use. Consider that. 


End Public Discussion.


Question for Michael Morman- Would Uhde be opposed to residential? Morman said Uhde would be OK to SELL it for that. Bank would put up privacy fences. Storage units not permitted in B-1. Not interested in a gas station. So item #31 could be struck for restrictions. Lehman asked about access points and lining up with existing ones. Morman agreed they could do that. The businesses are enclosed and the lighting has to be designed to NOT go off the property. 


Board discussion:


Written commitments that get attached to the property are options per McCormack.


Hoog asked how much business is along Stateline there. Most is towards the heart of Bright- and there is some land zoned Business that has not been developed for various reasons. ( Road condition and land issues)


Lehman asked if there was a way to limit the access points at this stage in the process. The answer was yes. And if they further subdivided they would have to come back to Plan Commission to request additional accesses. 


Beiersdorfer- familiar with area- drove a school bus there in the 1980s and also Hubbard’s Vet practice etc. It’s a prime location. That subdivision went in after he was a bus driver. Stateline is where the business wants to be. Hate to say that- but that’s how it is.


Lehman- Unfortunately that property has been available for a number of yers and no one has built on it. It does fit the future and existing land use criteria. I don’t know if I’ve heard enough evidence or not on this. 


Hoog- Kind of agree that a developer hasn’t been interested in it over all these years. 


Lehman motioned to forward a Favorable Recommendation for a zone change to B-1 with written commitment for conditions that a traffic study be required if the code  of article 5 section 520 requires it,  and limit one access point off Stateline and one off Sneakville , and elimination of # 31 of the permitted uses for the automotive uses and gas stations .  Lansing asked if they could limit the amount of splits for the property. Discussion that there isn’t enough land to do more than 3 splits.  They added an amendment that the written commitment to include a title search for restrictive covenants before the commissioners hear it.   Beiersdorfer 2nded. 5 ayes and one nay  (Lansing) and one abstention for Thatcher and one for Lang who was out in the hall and not voting. Favorable recommendation goes to Commissioners. 


Recess for a brief time.8:50 PM- 8:55 PM

 

ADMINISTRATIVE


 To review and discuss proposed ordinance amendments the Dearborn County Zoning Ordinance, with respect to the Zoning Update Study (involving Text changes at this time)


McCormack went over the new zoning map survey of opinions. Ranking criteria on the land uses. Water and sewer highest rank criteria and existing and use were the top criteria. Zoning and environmental constraints like topography flood plains etc. 

Discussion of Ag and Residential and sewer issues etc.


Next meeting- April 25th - Zoning Advisory Committee and Public- on the text of the Residential and Agricultural Zoning Districts. 

Discussion on the Zoning Map will be later. 


Meeting adjourned at 9:25 PM
