Woofstock helps save lives Commentary by Rebecca Stevens

YOUR LIFE

IN ASCENT.

On Oct. 6, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will be celebrating our 10thannual Woofstock Festival and pets Survivor Program Charity Walk at the newly renovated Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers. Because we serve as both the Humane Society and Animal Control Facility for Hamilton County, we receive some of the most severely neglected, abused and injured animals imaginable. What many don’t know is that we fund 100 percent of all life-saving and emergency medical care for every animal that passes through our doors. It is our Survivor Program that makes this possible. Sparkle, a dog, was abandoned by her owner. By the time someone found her and called the police, she had withered to less than half of what her body weight should have been, and she was in diabetic shock. She spent several days hospitalized, and now she is recovering in a foster home. She’s just one example of thousands who are alive today because of donations made to our Survivor Program and because people like you participate in our single-largest fundraiser for the program — the Woofstock

Ivy Tech Aviation Course Instructor Jack Morton. The year-round course is a combination of two aviation classes. One, which is essentially an overview of the aviation industry, allows students to experience the airport environment, listen to speakers from the industry and learn about the types of career opportunities in the industry. The other teaches student information needed to pass the Federal Aviation Administration’s pilot exam. Both courses are designed for students who are interested in pursuing flight training. “We are truly pleased that the partnership with Ivy Tech and the Indianapolis Airport Authority came to fruition,” said Scott Shipley, MVCSC director of secondary education. “This program has been long in the making and will offer students an incredible opportunity to leave high school with credits toward a degree in aviation.” The opportunity also was opened to Greenfield Central High School students who travel to MVHS each morning to take part in the course. Six students from GCHS and five from MCHS make up the class. “I am hopeful the program grows through the years and continues to foster students’ passion for a career in aviation,” Roach said. “This partnership gives students exposure to aviation before choosing their college path. Aerospace is an industry with great potential for a long-term, rewarding career for our students.” The aviation industry is expected to see a major decrease in pilots in the coming years as baby boomers retire. However, the demand for pilots is growing. The average annual salary for pilots in Indiana is approximately $115,000.

Local church brings festival to Fishers

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com

A local church and school, St. Louis de Montfort, will hold its annual event fall festival Sept. 30. The Shannon Smiles 5K will begin at 8 a.m. to start the day while the actual festival will run from 2 to 11 p.m. Jeff Klenke, co-chair of the SLDM Fall Festival, said the name of the 5K was changed in honor of one of St. Louis de Monfort’s teachers, Shannon O’Malia Hall, after her death in 2014. Hall left behind two children, and the church will give a portion of the proceeds from the 5K to the Connor and Danny Hall Trust Fund to help the children pay for college. The remaining proceeds will go toward the St. Nicholas Fund, which helps families in need around Indianapolis. “Shannon was such a warm and cheerful person,” Klenke said. “Her personality and

positive attitude would light up a room. We were able to donate over $11,000 to the St. Nicholas Fund last year. This is how her legacy lives. She has a direct, positive impact on every family that the St. Nicholas Fund was able to assist with those funds.” Registration for the 5K is $25 per person with a maximum of $75 per family with the price increasing $10 for late registration. The registration fee includes a race timer, bib, T-shirt and goodie bag. Starting at 2 p.m., the festival will have live music and entertainment by the SLDM Battle of the Bands, Johnny Caribe & the Island Girl and LemonWheel. The festival also will have inflatables, a game tent, carnival games and a teen tent for children in seventh grade and up. For adults, there will be a beer garden hosted by Sun King Brewery.

Philanthropic festival Inaugural Dragon Boat Festival partners Geist’s SurviveOars, White River Alliance for conservation By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com This weekend, dragon boat racers from the region will descend on Indianapolis for a festival that highcover story lights the sport and conservation of the White River. Geist’s Indy SurviveOars – a nonprofit, all-volunteer group of breast cancer survivors who race dragon boats competitively and whose home water is Geist Reservoir – are partnering with the White River Alliance as the highlighted day in its monthlong White River Festival. This is the eighth year the White River Alliance has held the September festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is Sept. 29, with registration beginning at 8 a.m. and races beginning at 8:30 a.m. “We’ve done a fundraiser every year as a capstone to the festival, and we always try to do something unique and fun, not just your normal sit-down dinner,” said Scott Minor, program manager for the White River Alliance. “Last year, we painted canoes. We’ve done trash-totreasure events a few times, where we take some of the trash and more interesting stuff that is found in the river cleanups and turn those into art pieces. This year, we went in a different direction, and we learned about dragon boat races. We thought it was perfect right now in Indianapolis because of all the attention that is being focused on the river (with the White River Vision Plan). “We want to show how the river can be a tremendous asset to the city in a number of ways, including recreation, which is a huge quality-of-life piece, so we decided

this was a great way to do our fundraiser and to build it over several years. We’re always reinventing the fundraising wheel.” The race and festival will be inside White River State Park. Teams will have tents on the east side of the bank, and a spectator area and other features of the event will be on the west bank. Racing will be where New York Street spans the river. Spectators will not be able to watch races from the bridge. The 46foot boats will load underneath the bridge, paddle down to the start line, about 250 meters downstream, and race upstream back toward the bridge. “We look to race several times a year. Since we’re the dragon boat racing team in town, it seemed like a logical partnership,” said Elane Shea, president of Indy SurviveOars. “Their interest is to bring attention to the waterways. With us being a breast cancer survivor team, we care that the waters we use are safe. We certainly don’t want to be exposed to anything because we’ve already been on a journey that was not too fun. We’re also mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc., so we care also about our families and want them to have the best interaction (with the water) as well, so we come to the table with expertise in dragon boat racing and being at races both in the community and competitively. It has been a great collaboration.” Indy SurviveOars, which Shea said has approximately 70 active members, celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. “I started at the beginning of the second year,” Shea said. “A friend of mine was about a year ahead of me in treatment and diagnosis, and she had found out about the team. She told me to come up and try

it. I did, during radiation therapy, and once I started, I just didn’t stop. It’s great because women don’t have as many opportunities to be on a team. So, being on a team brings a whole lot of camaraderie. “There also is the incentive to keep moving and be better, not just for yourself but also for your teammates. The other piece is just the fun and excitement of being part of a sport. Especially for older women, that is rare to find.” More than a dozen teams will make up the community division of racers and the breast cancer survivors division. Indy SurviveOars sister teams from Louisville, Lexington,Ky. and Illinois also are taking part in the festival. “We all participate in races, usually in a breast cancer division, but we’ll be racing each other at the event,” Shea said. “We’ll also have a boat in the community division because some of our members are supporter but they’re not breast cancer survivors. So, we’ll have a boat in that division with both survivors and supporters.” Minor said the event also will feature a DJ, food trucks and a White River Alliance informational table so people can lean more about the organization’s work. “Though it also serves as fundraising for us, we love to have people experience it to know what it is to be part of a team,” Shea said. “It’s a way of getting out and working in synchronized support and for teambuilding. We see groups come out and really have a good time enjoying the water team-building. But also, for this event, the White River is such a worthy cause. It’s about the excitement of enjoying the water, finding a new sport and working together with friends or strangers.”

When some people think of Lawrence, they think of the rougher side of Lawrence, but the downtown area of Lawrence is great. It’s very charming. There’s a ton of growth both residentially and commercially, and they’re doing some amazing things in Lawrence. When we were first approached by Mayor (Steve) Collier to bring this event, it was to really highlight the downtown area of Lawrence, to show off all the growth and businesses and opportunity down there.”

ESSA Y Tough choices

LE T T ER

Brooks is a proven leader

Commentary by Terry Anker As youngsters, many of us would lament what it was we might decide to surrender during a religious observation of fast and penance. For some, it was chocolate — milk or candy. For others, it would be the intentional deprivation of a beloved activity. The PlayStation or television would be switched off for a bit. Still, in most cases, our lives functioned largely the same. We tended to replace one indulgence with another. Although one can rightly say that the reminder of the sacrifices that led to the commemoration was present, which is good, in all, we suffered little. In a conversation with a friend who recently found his way out of a rough patch, he lamented that he “could have lost it all.” While compassion led to an empathetic interaction, it begged the question: What really might have been lost? Surely, his was more intense than not being able to have an evening glass of chocolate milk. But can we lose our family? Can we lose our property? Can we lose our health? Can we lose our sanity? Can we lose them all? If the world were so ordered that each hour for 10 days we were required to sacrifice something we hold dear, how would we let them go? Could we? In most instances, we identify our top priorities and claim to stick to them. Still, we spend inordinate amounts of time attending the things that we believe inconsequential. So, if we turned this game on its head and thought about what we would sacrifice if times were truly tough, what would remain after 240 such choices? PlayStation, television, chocolate milk and candy might be easy. But what of the others? Is it more about what remains than what is lost?

Stop political corruption

Editor, When my boys were little I used to read them “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” I feel like we are living in the emperor’s land now. I see that the emperor is naked and people are grumbling, but it is shocking and disgraceful that none of his “cabinet” are speaking up. I saw the article in the New York Times reassuring us that there is a second track of people making sure things don’t go awry! The author of this article has not reassured me; it only speaks to the immorality and deviance of this administration. He or she is trying to cover his or her butt because this person knows what’s going on is wrong, yet they don’t want to call the president out in public – they want the conservative agenda, getting Kavanaugh confirmed, to go through first. Yet, this is anything but conservative. We the public see what is going on. We see the emperor is naked and that no one will call him out. We see the hypocrisy of these actions and their legacy will be sacrificing the American Way so their agenda can be pushed through. It is so perplexing to me why peo-

ple think their values have to be my values. Why can’t you do in your house what works for you and I do in my house what works for me? Why can’t I believe in something different yet we all reach out and help each other when we need it? What is the lesson our children are learning from the adults in their world? America was becoming great when my grandparents immigrated here, but I can imagine their tear-filled eyes if they knew what we have become. I am tired of the corruption in politics today. That is why I am supporting Dee Thornton for Congress in Indiana’s 5th District. She is running against Susan Brooks, who has voted with Trump more than 98 percent of the time. Dee is a former business exec who will do the right thing. She is running a grassroots campaign with integrity and character and is reaching out to neighbors and actually listening to our concerns. We can no longer stand by and watch the downfall of our democracy; we must get out and vote. Beth Kurlander, Carmel

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEEK “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne

Editor, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks fights for our interests, and she gets results for Hoosiers. Brooks is focused on modern threats to our security. When ISIS and other terrorist organizations are looking for ways to use chemical and biological weapons, she’s advocating for legislation to strengthen our national response to deadly pathogens. Closer to home, Brooks is working with colleagues across the aisle to ensure that women of all ages have access to lifesaving mammograms. Brooks voted in favor of more than 50 bills this summer to support substance abuse prevention, treatment, education and enforcement. During the last two years, she’s helped secure more than $20 million for substance abuse programs in Indiana. She wrote a law to help veterans take full advantage of their GI Bill benefits, making sure that they can get and keep a good job when they come home. Along with this impressive record, Brooks remains easily accessible to her constituents. Since January 2017, Brooks has held 20 public events to personally meet with constituents. This record of accomplishment is why I’ll be voting for Brooks, a proven leader, Nov. 6. Sincerely, Demetrick L. Baker II, Sheridan

“What’s in here?” I asked Mary Ellen as I opened another carton the movers had deposited in our new home. humor “What does it say on the box?” she asked. “STUFF,” I said. “Well, that sounds like your labeling system, Dick. Years ago when we got new carpet, you did the packing alphabetically. The cat ended up in the same box as the computer.” Then I realized this was not a box from our current move, but one unopened from two moves ago in 1985. Anything called “stuff” couldn’t be that important, right? Inside was a huge stack of assorted business cards. On the top of the pile was: HABIBA BELLY DANCER (614) 253-XXXX I had no recollection of Habiba. Was she a friend from my bachelor days? Or a guest on a show I did in Columbus? Memories are just no fun when you can’t remember them. None of the cards’ names rang any bells. Business cards were so simple back then, with no websites, cell numbers, Twit-

ter accounts or emails. Just, ‘Here’s my name. Here’s my number. Give me a call.’ Which, by the way, I don’t think I ever did. Including Habiba. In that same box was a huge envelope filled with newspaper articles sent by friends who know I love oddball subjects: • You can lead a cow up stairs, but not down stairs • A duck’s quack doesn’t echo • Smart people have more copper in their hair There were some wacky headlines: • Homicide victims seldom talk to police • Tight end returns after colon surgery Mary Ellen and I went to dinner with our friends Pat and Garry. I casually mentioned that a duck’s quack does not echo and that a cow won’t walk down stairs. “Fascinating,” Garry said. “Where did you learn these things?” It’s just stuff I picked up while thinking outside the box.

Sometimes, Jen Petro still can’t believe she owns a business, let alone a thriving one. The Fishers resident and mother of three launched DropLeaf Communications “out of desperation” during a time her husband, Paul, was going through an “epic health crisis” that lasted four years, she said. “I didn’t believe I could do it,” Petro said. “I didn’t have the self-confidence to say, ‘I’m going to start a business.’” But 10 years later, DropLeaf has grown from its roots providing communications and branding assistance to also offer a 12-week Business-Build for Women program. Petro offers the online course targeting women who have much to offer but don’t believe they have what it takes to start their own business. She wants to help her students build confidence and avoid some of the early mistakes she made along the way.

“I had to spend hours and hours and hours and fall on my face a million times when I started my business,” said Petro, who often works out of the Platform 24 coworking space in Carmel. “So (my aim is) to say what would’ve been helpful to me and provide that up front for these women so they don’t have to go through the ridiculousness I did.” Petro said she’s found that women tend to struggle with self-doubt more than men, which can hold them back in pursuing their dreams. It’s a feeling she remembers well from the days before launching DropLeaf because she feared her lack of having an MBA, a huge savings account or extra time would lead to failure. So, sharing her story with the women in her program and watching them succeed is the most rewarding part of her job, Petro said. “The day when I taught the first class I bawled. When I hung up the call I cried. This is what I was made to do,” Petro said. “The first class was about overcoming fear of failure and self-doubts, and it’s like I’m preaching to myself.” The next class runs from late September through mid-December, with registration closing Sept. 28. The program includes live teaching and interaction, a private Facebook group, online happy hours and more. Cost is $497, and Petro offers a few scholarships each year. Learn more or sign up for the program at dropleaf.co. “There are so many women who don’t believe in themselves who have so much to offer the world who are being held back by their own limiting beliefs and self-doubts,” Petro said. “For me, that’s such a gift to help them get past that.”

Four fitness apps to try Commentary Mike Robertson Ever since the information revolution began with the advent of the views internet, technology has seen explosive growth. In recent years, one of the biggest areas of growth comes in the form of fitness apps for your smartphone. Whether it’s interval timers, apps to help improve sleep and recovery, or guided meditations, there are literally thousands fitness apps out there. Though there are thousands of apps available, here are four helpful ones to aid you in your fitness journey. Tabata Timer Pro Price: $2.99 A few years ago, finding a great interval timer was very difficult. Now there are tons, but this is one of the best. Tabata Timer Pro is great because it does the obvious stuff (like setting work:rest ratios), but it also allows you to program a “warning” bell before the set starts. An added bonus is the fact that you can have your own music playlists going in the background. Whether it’s the cheap price, the functionality or the music options, this is the only interval timing app you’ll ever need. Headspace Price: 10 sessions free; subsequent inapp purchases.

Everyone knows you should meditate, but few actually get it done. Headspace is a great app if you’re ready to take the next step. “Andy,” part of the app, will guide you through your meditation sessions! All it takes is 10 minutes, a quiet room and some headphones. BioForce Price: Free download, but package is $194. BioForce HRV tracks your heart rate variability, which is an indicator of autonomic nervous system functionality and recovery. BioForce HRV helps you objectify how you feel, how your body is recovering, and helps you determine how hard you should train on any given day. This app is quite pricey, but the benefit you receive coupled with the length of time you’ll use it make it worth your while. Sleep Pillow Price: Free. Sleep is the cheapest and easiest thing we can do to expedite recovery. If you’re serious about training, then you need to be serious about recovery! Mike Robertson, Fishers resident and co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST), is the head-strength coach for the Indy Eleven professional soccer team. Visit ifastonline.com to learn more about Mike and IFAST.

Whey for blood sugar – Recent research has shown that people who consumed a whey protein drink before a meal accumulated 28 percent less blood glucose after the meal on average. And the whey had a strong and protective impact -- insulin levels nearly doubled in whey drinkers within the first half-hour after eating and remained high. The test subjects were given 50 grams of whey isolate protein dissolved in water. Source: Diabetologia

Indiana Conservatory Ballet members perform “Pulse.” (Photo by Renzulli Photography)

Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s ‘Pulse’ set for Basile Theatre performance By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Altona Yakovleva-Randall would listen to her husband, Daryl Randall, drum for fun around the house. dance After a couple years of thinking about it, the Indiana Ballet Conservatory founding artistic director created “Pulse: Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drummer,” which debuted in 2012. “Pulse” will be performed at 7 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Basile Theatre at the Historic Atheneum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. It hasn’t been performed in full in a few years. The Carmel-based IBC ballet follows the evolutionary progression of a young boy, a percussionist, and a girl, a ballerina, who dream of becoming famous artists. Yakovleva-Randall’s husband, who was a participant in the acclaimed National Association of Music Merchants percussion music show in Chicago, provides the percussion music. “It’s a collaboration of contemporary ballet and percussion, and it’s just that journey on the way to the dream,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “My message to

the students is to never give up.” The ballet emphasizes ways in which dance and music are intricately intertwined and the ways art inspires life. Yakovleva-Randall said the decision was made by the board to bring back “Pulse” in the beginning of the summer. “We usually have a show this time of year, but we didn’t have full production for two years,” said Yakovleva-Randall, who recently moved from Geist to Carmel. IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said by the time of the performance, IBC will have had 6 1/2 weeks to prepare for the show. “The kids have been very busy,” Okamoto said. The message is conveyed through music, dance, voiceovers and a slide show. There are four performers for the leads at different ages. There are 35 dancers in the performance. “It’s nice to support the Atheneum because they’ve made improvements,” Okamoto said. “It’s open-cabaret seating, so it’s a different setup.” Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at indianaballetconservatory.org.

Performance supports Indy Humane A portion of the proceeds from “Pulse” ticket sales and beverages will support Indy Humane. IBC board member Sue Ames is a volunteer with Indy Humane. “The goal is to have an important project to each board member and to base our fundraising and outreach around that,” Okamoto said. There will be an Indy Humane mobile adoption unit on-site. Yakovleva-Randall has two dogs that join her at IBC. “I have three rescue dogs, so we appreciate what rescue organizations are trying to do,” Okamoto said. “It’s really nice with this fall production that we can offer it more as a giveback like we did when it was cancer research.” Okamoto said Tito’s Vodka and Sun King are donating beverages. “The Atheneum is pretty dog-friendly. They actually allow dogs into their coffee shop in the lobby,” Okamoto said. IBC holds a Halloween contest for dogs, and one is selected to appear in IBC’s “The Nutcracker” in December. “Last year, we lucked out because we had two French bulldogs, so we got to split-cast our dogs,” Okamoto said. “I always feel like dancers and dogs go together.”

After breaking a box office record at The Cat Theatre in Carmel over Independence Day weekend, Magic Thread Cabaret is bringing its hit show “Katy Gentry: Judy Garland LIVE!” to downtown Indianapolis’ Mass Ave. Arts & Cultural District for a special engagement this Christmas season. The District Theatre, formerly Theatre on the Square, will host a six-show run of the cabaret Dec. 7-9 and Dec. 14-16. “After Katy’s success in Carmel, we’re eager for our audiences to enjoy a night of beautiful music in the intimate space of our Cabaret Stage,” stated IndyFringe Executive Director Pauline Moffat, who is managing The District Theatre. Tickets are on sale for Dec. 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 9 and 16 at 4 p.m. at The District Theatre Cabaret Stage, 627 Mass Ave. in Indianapolis.

Art Battle Fortville set for Sept. 29 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A Facebook post by an artist friend from Phoenix about attending an event called Art Battle intrigued Libby Wyatt. Art “She went to this really cool event, Art Battle, in Phoenix, so I looked it up and it looked awesome,” said Wyatt, who owns StoreHouse, a home goods store in Fortville. “We’re working really hard to bring the arts to Fortville. I threw it out there (as an idea) to Lacey (Willard), and that’s basically how it got started.” Wyatt, Willard and John Kitterman are founders of Art Battle Fortville. The event, which is making its Indiana debut, features 12 artists going head-to-head during 20-minute rounds of live painting. It is set for 6 to 10 p.m. Sept. 29 on Main Street in Fortville. Proceeds will benefit the opening of a nonprofit art gallery on the first floor of the 100-year-old Carnegie library structure on Main Street. “It’s a pretty vibrant artist scene, and we think Art Battle matches what our community is calling for in terms of art culture and music,” said Willard, a Fortville resident. “Some of the artists we’ve invited are

from Fortville, and we reserved a couple for Indianapolis artists as well. There are two rounds of six artists each competing in a vote by those in attendance. “It’s all voted on by the attendees,” Willard said. The winners of each round meet in the championship. The winner advances to a regional event. There are then national and international rounds. Willard said each round takes approximately one hour. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free.

ABA book signing set for Sept. 29 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com You can judge this book by its cover. “The title of the book is, ‘We Changed the Game,’ and we did,” said former book Indiana Pacers player Bob “Neto” Netolicky, a Noblesville resident. “Today’s NBA would not be the way it is if not for the ABA.” The book, which was released earlier this year, was written by Netolicky, Richard Tinkham and Robin Miller. A book signing is set for 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 29 at the American Legion Hall, 852 W. Main St., Carmel. The book is full of stories about the league’s many characters. “Ninety-nine percent of the books out there about the ABA are third-, fourth-, fifth-hand stories,” said Netolicky, an original Pacer who played most of his career with Indiana. “This one kind of nails it. Dick Tinkham helped start the league and was the league lawyer. Robin followed us for three or four years when we started. He was a cub reporter, so he knows the real happenings.” Bob Costas, who was a radio announcer for the ABA’s Spirits of St. Louis, praised the book.

Bob “Neto” Netolicky signs a book along with Robin Miller. (Submitted photo)

“If you loved the ABA as I did or are simply curious about a fascinating slice of sports history, you will love this book,” Costas said. Ten percent of proceeds from book sales go to the Indianapolis-based Dropping Dimes Foundation that advocates for former ABA players. “Dropping Dimes has taken the lead and is getting involved in our pension fight with the NBA,” Netolicky said. “We’ve got some heavy hitters helping us. We have eight or nine Hall of Famers on the advisory board, guys like George Gervin, Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore. Bob Costas.

TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8660 Purdue Rd., Suite 8666-600, Indianapolis. What to get: Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. Price: $5. Anna’s take: TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth has only been open a month and already customers are photographing the vibrantly colorful ice cream sandwiches and posting them on social media. According to TeeJay’s, the ice cream shop is home to what it calls the only donut ice cream sandwich in Indiana. The sandwich is a sight to behold. Customers can choose two scoops out of 16 flavors to sandwich between halves of a Jack’s glazed donut and top it with one topping. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream and the cookies and cream ice cream with a donut sandwich and topped it with peanut butter crunch cereal. When assembled, the donut/ice cream concoction is heated in a waffle iron-type device for five seconds, which is enough to warm the donut but not melt the ice cream. The mix of flavors and textures from the flaky, sweetened donut glaze to the crunch of the cereal and smoothness of the ice cream tastes heavenly. The delicious behemoth was only $5. The shop offers more than donut sandwiches. I couldn’t help but sample the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispy sandwich with Blue’s Vanilla and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped with Lucky Charms cereal. It was a delicious, colorful snack. I also tried a scoop each of the Lemoreo

(lemon Oreo) and the Graham Central Station flavors, which are the store’s most popular flavors. TeeJay’s is affordable, and it sources its ice cream from Sundae’s Homemade Ice Cream in Indianapolis. The concoctions are dessert monsters you’d expect to find at a State Fair, and they are worth breaking a diet. In addition to ice cream sandwiches, TeeJay’s sells cones, scoops and floats. Fall flavors will be available soon.

No Mean City American gin, .5 oz. agave syrup, 2 oz. huckleberry syrup, kombucha, lemon wedge, basil leaves Directions: Add first three ingredients to a shaker, squeeze a lemon wedge into the mix, shake with ice and pour into a glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bathroom sanctuary Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

After

Before

The goal was to create a timeless master bathroom design that maximized the functionality of the space. 1. The biggest change came from removing the large decked tub that took up the outside wall of the bathroom and replacing it with a smaller freestanding tub, making the space appear much more open. 2. After removing the decked tub there was room to make some minor floorplan changes, relocating the single vanity and expanding the shower. 3. The shower expansion included creating a custom-glass enclosed shower with a bench seat and detailed tile work. 4. All cabinetry was updated, and a linen tower was added to create more storage space. 5. The space was finished with wood-look luxury vinyl tile flooring, a perfect material for any bathroom!

Background Info: This early 1990s home in the Admirals Pointe neighborhood of the Geist area is home to a growing family. Overall, the owners were happy with the home but it was in need of a few updates to make it function better for the soon-to-be family of four.

Before problems The bathrooms were the first priority for the homeowners. They had plenty of space, but the layout of the master bathroom made the room feel confined. The bathroom had never been updated, so the materials and bulkheads dated the space.

Mosque for the King of the World Commentary by Don Knebel Many visitors to India get to New Delhi, its current capital, but never get to nearby Old Delhi, fortravel merly the capital of the powerful Mughal Empire and home to a mosque known for a single hair. In 1628, a Mughal prince killed his royal rivals, crowned himself the fifth Mughal Emperor and gave himself the name Shah Jahan (King of the World). Three years later, Mumtaz, Shah Jahan’s favorite wife, died during the birth of their 14th child and almost immediately he began building her tomb in his capital city of Agra. In 1639, while the Taj Mahal was still unfinished, Shah Jahan moved his capital to a location 130 miles northwest of Agra, where he built a walled city along the Yamuna River named Shahjahanabad (Shah Jahan’s City). In 1644, Shah Jahan ordered construction of an imposing mosque to serve his new capital. Five thousand artisans worked for six years building what became known as Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque), usually considered the largest mosque in India. The mosque features two 130-foot tall sandstone minarets, three large marble domes and a 4-acre courtyard for 25,000 worshippers.

Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, India. (Photos by Don and Jen Knebel)

Today, Shahjahanabad is known as Old Delhi, which is, depending on your point of view, either one of the noisiest and most chaotic places on earth or one of the most vibrant and fascinating. The Jama Masjid, at the end of hectic Chandni Chowk, is among the area’s most popular sites, open to the public except during daily prayers from noon to 1:30P.M. For a fee, visitors can climb the 130 narrow steps inside the southern minaret to get a view of
