City plans to diversify collection of statues By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com More sculptures are likely coming to Carmel, including two representing ethnic minorities in the city. CITY NEWS New additions include a lifelike sculpture by J. Seward Johnson, a piece resulting as a collaboration with the city’s Indian community and a stainless-steel work proposed in a future roundabout. Carmel is already home to the largest collection of Seward Johnson sculptures outside of the artist’s home state of New Jersey, with 15 lifelike statues scattered throughout the city’s core. The newest addition will be “Waiting to Cross,” which features a Black girl smiling as she swings around a stop sign. The $70,000 sculpture was first cast in 1986. City of Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely said the sculpture is expected to be placed near the Monon Greenway in the Arts & Design District. In addition, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he’s asked Carmel’s Indian community to help design a statue of an Indian woman in traditional dress. City officials have not released details on where the statue will be placed, but the project is expected to cost $100,000. The Carmel City Council was expected to discuss possible funding for the statues at its Sept. 21 meeting. Visit youarecurrent.com for coverage. The decision to install two sculptures featuring minorities comes after local organization Carmel Against Racial Injustice called for the city to be more inclusive of minorities, in part by including them in its statues. McFeely, however, said plans to diversify the city’s collection had already been in the works. “We have been discussing acquiring sculptures showing ethnic minorities for a long time,” he said. “Suggestions have been made previously, before the recent incidents, by the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Human Relations.” Brainard said he “listened very carefully” to representatives from CARI during a recent meeting to discuss CARI’s demands of local government, including their request to see more statues of people of color. “There weren’t many statues (of minorities by Seward Johnson) available at the

time,” Brainard said of the initial installation of statues in Carmel. “It just wasn’t done.” The ciy installed its first Seward Johnson statue in 2005. The most recent Seward Johnson sculptures to be installed in Carmel debuted in City Center in March 2012. In late 2018, the Carmel Board of Public Works approved $354,000 to purchase five additional Seward Johnson sculptures, but they have not yet been installed. McFeely said the sculptures will be considered for placement in the Arts & Design District, Midtown, City Center and near the Proscenium. Major redevelopment projects are occurring in all of those areas. The sculptures are being stored by the street department. “Morning Sun,” a $200,000 stainless-steel sculpture by Los Angeles-based artist Brad Howe, is proposed for a future roundabout at Range Line Road and Walnut Street (formerly 6th Street S.). Construction of the roundabout is planned as part of a reconstruction of Range Line Road between Elm Street and City Center Drive. Other works by Howe are in the roundabouts at Range Line Road and 136th Street and Range Line Road and Elm Street.

Redistricting discussion begins By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Welcome to the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback®. Go where love takes you. Welcome to the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback®.

Construction is well under way on two new Carmel Clay Schools elementary school buildings, and administraEDUCATION tors are ready to begin a communitywide conversation about redistricting students to fill them. CCS will close Orchard Park Elementary after the 2020-21 school year and open Clay Center Elementary approximately 5 miles away, leading to the need to redistrict. A new Carmel Elementary School building will open at the same time on land adjacent to the existing building on 4th Ave. SE. Although only one new school is opening, CCS Associate Supt. Roger McMichael said he expects the effects of redistricting to be felt throughout the district. “This redistricting will have some impact on every elementary school and therefore every middle school in the district, not just on the west side where the new school is going,” McMichael said. “From past history, that’s what tends to happen.” CCS officials began reaching out to parents and community members Sept. 15 to begin forming focus groups to discuss the redistricting process. All members of the community, whether or not they have children in the district, will be invited to provide feedback during the process. “We’ll make every effort to make it known that if you live in Carmel, you have an opportunity to have an opinion and provide input for what we’re doing,” McMichael said. Focus groups will be capped at 12 mem-

bers who are randomly selected from applicants. Groups will be comprised of parents of students at the same elementary schools with an additional group for community members who do not have students currently in a CCS school. The focus groups are expected to meet in mid-October. CCS will work with consulting firm Cooperative Strategies to develop redistricting options after gathering information from the focus groups. A series of community meetings, including a virtual option, will be conducted to present the possible redistricting plans to the public. A recommended redistricting plan is expected to be presented to the school board in November with a final vote planned for Dec. 14. McMichael plans to give a presentation of the redistricting process at the school board’s next meeting, set for 7 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Educational Services Center, 5201 E. Main St. in Carmel.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury. For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.

BACKGROUND: Ben Weidner of Zionsville tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his knee in February 2020 while playing basketball. A longtime athlete in soccer and basketball, he played competitively for Zionsville Community High School and for elite travel teams. He sought treatment from Methodist Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Thomas Klootwyk so that he could get on the road to recovery and resume playing the sports he loves. Dr. Klootwyk did surgery in March to repair Ben’s ACL. Ben then went through various stages of rehab at MSM at the Grand Park Clinic in Westfield, and is now on track to resume athletic participation at DePauw University as a dual sport athlete in soccer and basketball.

THE RECOVERY: “Ben was an exceptional patient to work with! He had an unbelievable work ethic and motivation to better himself every time he came into the clinic. He always wanted to be pushed to his limits and he Nick Chandler, DPT wasn’t afraid to leave everything he had in the weight room or on the turf. He was one of those types of patients that physical therapists love working with!” – Nick Chandler, Doctor of Physical Therapy, EMethodist Sports Medicine

Refresh raises traffic concerns By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The owners of Clay Terrace revealed additional details at the Sept. 15 Carmel Plan Commission meeting CLAY TERRACE about plans to redevelop a section of the shopping center. Washington Prime Group, which owns Clay Terrace, is asking the commission to approve amendments to the site’s planned unit development, which outlines what may be built there. It aims to add residential units, a hotel and expanded entertainment options to keep the center vibrant as traditional retail shopping trends decline. The proposed refresh of Clay Terrace includes replacing a vacant restaurant building in the southeast corner of the site with a four- to six-story office building and replacing two occupied buildings along the east side of Clay Terrace Boulevard just north of the southern roundabout with buildings that have first floor retail and restaurant offerings with four stories of luxury apartments above them. The hotel and parking structure are proposed east of these buildings along U.S. 31. Washington Prime also plans to make the shopping center more pedestrian friendly by reducing Clay Terrace Boulevard from two lanes to one in each direction between its two roundabouts. This would allow space for parallel parking along the road. Nearby residents and business owners told the commission they have concerns about event noise, adequate parking, building heights and increased traffic. Commissioners generally expressed support for the project but agreed that traffic could be a problem. Commission President Brad Grabow said he’d like the project team to consider adding an entrance to the site. “If it’s possible at all to create another access point, it would be worth the effort,” he said. The commission sent the matter to its commercial committee, which is set to discuss it at 6 p.m. Oct. 6. The full plan commission will have final voting authority.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Carmel-based Little Wish Foundation, founder Liz Niemiec released GIVING BACK a children’s storybook, “Lizzy Girl and the Big Little Wish.” “It’s a super colorful and whimsical story of a girl named Lizzy Girl who gets to make her own special wish but can’t figure out what to wish for,” Niemiec said. “While she’s spending so much time thinking she has to make a perfect wish, she ends up embarking on this really special journey that takes her and her dog, Dandy, across the country. Along the way, she realizes what’s more important and figures out a different wish.” All book sales benefit the foundation. “I always wanted all the proceeds to go back to Little Wish because the foundation has touched my life, and I want it to touch others,” Niemiec said. Niemiec’s inspiration for starting the Little Wish Foundation goes back to her childhood, when a teacher’s son, Max, was diagnosed with cancer at age 4. “I watched him battle it and couldn’t believe someone younger than me was going through cancer,” Niemiec said. “A few months before he passed away, he had one last wish, and that was to have a puppy. That puppy brought him a lot of joy and happiness, and I saw how much it meant to him. It forever changed my life, and it made me want to help other kids like Max.” Each month, the organization grants wishes to 14 children’s hospitals in seven states. In total, it has granted more than 2,500 wishes. Order the book at littlewishfoundation. org/lizzy-girl-and-the-big-little-wish/.

Rosh Hashanah, a celebration of the Jewish New Year, is typically marked with feasting, reflecting and gathering FAITH in community, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made a traditional celebration more difficult this year. Congregation Beth Shalom has been holding its services virtually since the pandemic began in March. Its leaders wanted to offer in-person events at the synagogue on W. 96th St. to mark Rosh Hashanah, Sept. 18 to 20, and its culmination in Yom Kippur, Sept. 27 to 28, but were unable to find a way to safely do so. So, the congregation decided to take at least part of the festivities — the trumpeting of the shofar to mark the beginning of Rosh Hashanah — to some of its most vulnerable members. Rabbi Justin Kerber is leading a brief outdoor service at several nursing homes and retirement facilities through Sept. 22. Kerber, a Carmel resident, said he hopes the efforts will show the congregants that they are still a valuable part of the commu-

Young conservatives back climate Commentary By Roger Harvey At the turn of the 21st century, the Republican Party’s proud legacy of environmental leadership ENVIRONMENT took a backseat to the boisterous voices of the liberal, activist class in climate-policy debates. In recent years, however, coalitions of young conservatives in Indiana and across the nation have cultivated grassroots support to reclaim that legacy and address the climate crisis with a plan that works for the environment, the economy and the American people. That idea is the Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan, which proposes a unique solution that would roll back regulations and put money where it belongs — in the pockets of every American reading this. Critical to this is a fee on the carbon emissions of fossil fuel companies that would be rebated directly to Americans in the form of a quarterly carbon dividend. The vast majority of Hoosiers would receive more from their rebate than they would spend in increased annual household expenses. This plan, utilizing fundamental principles of capitalism,

also would put the United States in a global position of environmental leadership without crippling us with bureaucratic red tape and unending debt on future generations. It also would reduce the outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs by assessing a fee on imports from countries that are not doing their part to reduce carbon emissions. American innovation has allowed our nation to flourish, but it also has required of us leadership. A free market-driven carbon dividend plan would unleash further innovation and lead to a cleaner and more robust economy by eliminating the need for overbearing regulatory schemes. Learn more about this approach on Sept. 22 at 5 p.m., when Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends joins the IU McKinney School of Law’s Federalist Society and Environmental Law Society for a virtual debate. For more, visit yccdaction.org.

STILL MAKING WAVES By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

At 80, Marty Gallagher loves to stay busy. “I live in a two-story house on a half-acre and I take care of it all,” the Carmel resident said. “I sold real estate for F.C. Tucker for 33 years and retired three years ago.” To stay active, Gallagher teaches swimming to children and adults at Carmel Racquet Club as she has since 1975. “Sometimes I think, ‘Do I have to stop what I’m doing to go teach?’” she said. “When I’m there, I absolutely love it. The kids seem to really like me. I’ve taught lots of kids of parents I’ve taught.” Gallagher taught north Indianapolis resident Gayle Meyer’s two daughters, Anna Simpson and Molly Meyer, how to swim. “(Gayle Meyer) said, ‘My grandsons are coming to town for four weeks. Will you teach them to swim while they’re here?’” Gallagher said. The Simpsons came to Indianapolis from their home in Chicago in August to work virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. Simpson’s sons Wesley, 5, and Grant, 2 1/2, took lessons from Gallagher during their time in Carmel. “They’ve fallen in love with Marty,” Gayle Meyer said. “Marty is awesome. She is off the charts.” Gallagher was pleased to be back teaching since her usual lessons were shut down when the Racquet Club closed in mid-March because of the pandemic. Gallagher started her career as a physical education teacher after college. “Swimming was always my specialty,” she said. She participated in synchronized swimming clubs at Cincinnati Woodward High School and the University of Cincinnati. After graduating from UC, she landed her first teaching job at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati. When she moved for her then-husband’s job, she taught at Swarthmore (Pa.) College, filling in for an employee on a sabbatical for a semester. She then taught at Temple University in Philadelphia. Gallagher took time off to have children and then got a call about teaching swimming at a new Main Line YMCA in Philadelphia. “I taught there about six years and then we moved to New Jersey and I taught at the Red Bank YMCA,” she said. Gallagher moved to Carmel in 1973 and began teaching at the Jordan YMCA in Indianapolis. “But the classes were big and the water was cold, so when I was playing tennis at the Carmel Racquet Club and feeling the nice warm water, I said, ‘Hey, can I teach some swimming lessons here?’” Gallagher said.

That was 45 years ago, and she has never stopped. “I’ve taught a lot of kids, and then their (foreign-born) parents said, ‘I didn’t have the opportunity to learn. Will you teach me?’” she said. Gallagher starts teaching students as young as 2. “Sometimes it’s better when they are at least 3. Going through the terrible twos isn’t good,” Gallagher said. “But if you have an older sibling, it’s much easier if the other child is in the water and they see what they are doing. I don’t separate them according to ability because my classes are usually no more than five. We take turns, so I work at each one’s level. My main thing is to get them to do the front crawl and swim on their back. I’ve had kids that want to learn breaststroke and butterfly. I can teach all of that.” Gallagher’s swimming classes are scheduled to start this fall. “I’m not sure how many students I’m going to have with the virus,” said Gallagher, who had to give up tennis two years ago after her second rotator cuff surgery.

COVER STORY 80-year-old instructor teaches generations of students to swim FAMILY TRADITION

Marty Gallagher has three children, Scott Nordhoff, Skip Nordhoff and Jill Benson. Her third husband, Edward Gallagher, died from pancreatic cancer two years ago. He had worked at the F.C. Tucker office in north Indianapolis. Gallagher’s children took after their mother in the water. “They were all wonderful swimmers, needless to say,” she said. “They were all born in Philadelphia and they all wanted to get back to the East Coast. They all graduated from Carmel High School. Scott, my oldest, was a swimmer and played hockey. Skip was a diver, a runner and pole vaulter, and Jill was a diver and gymnast. Her gymnastics coach said she couldn’t do both. They all swam for the Jordan YMCA because it had a better team than the Carmel Swim Club when we first moved here.” Gallagher taught her three grandchildren, Jill’s son, Lucas Simerman, and Skip’s son, Galen, and daughter, Grace, how to swim. Scott lives in Denton, Md., Skip is in Boston and Jill is in Jacksonville, Fla. Marty Gallagher works with Grant Simpson during a swim lesson at the Carmel Racquet Club.

Wimpy promises

Confusing street names remain

Commentary by Terry Anker Trust me, “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today,” or so said Mr. J. Wellington Wimpy, the erstwhile intellectual, well-educated romantic who had a prominent role in E.C. Segar’s 1931 comic strip “Popeye.” Many of us grew up with the common-man, spinach-eating namesake of the comic strip sailor and learned countless lessons. Including — stand-up for what is right. Treat your partner well — even if Olive Oyl didn’t always seem it, she is worthy. We are what we are — don’t be anything but ourselves. Eat right and be strong and ready for whatever life presents. And in the case of the profligate Wimpy, beware of the charming influence of well-intentioned elites. In the heights of Depression-era politics, one can only imagine Segar’s boldness in standing against the increasing debt and public works that had been promised by Washington to be paid on “Tuesday.” By the time Fleischer Studios began producing cartoons of the strips, Wimpy had been minimized from a major to a minor character. The production company found him too cerebral for the common viewer. Still, the portly Wimpy, with his penchant for grand promises and an overwhelming need to feed his addiction, cautioned against the prevailing winds of the time. Remember, someone eventually pays. Fleischer Studios collapsed by 1941 because of a series of cost overruns and mismanagement but had capitalized on a license for the Superman cartoons. Supported by truth, justice and the American way, the sibling-owned business had left its mark on our collective memory. By the 1980 theatrical live-action movie release of “Popeye,” Wimpy was back. A different president was in the White House and the caricature of the bloated bureaucrat had returned. In a “Popeye” today, would Wimpy make the cut?

Editor, Just finished the Sept. 8 Current in Carmel and was amused by the article on current and original street names. The current numbered streets have always been confusing. Now, let’s look at Rangeline/Range Line Road. Leave Clay Terrace, drive south until it turns into Westfield Boulevard, and count how many Rangeline, one word, and Range Line, two words, there are. And later, we can discuss how totally confusing the signs are at the new roundabout on Rangeline/Range Line toward Keystone Parkway and Lowe’s Way. Jay McCarty, Carmel

Enjoyed story on barefoot runner

Funny thing about sadness Commentary by Danielle Wilson Grief is a funny thing. And I mean that quite literally. This summer was my first real experience with grief, HUMOR as my father passed away a few weeks ago from cancer. I expected the deep sadness. I expected the intermittent bouts of anger. But what I did not anticipate, and what I am so thankful for, was the laughter. In the last hours of his life, with both his mind and body shutting down, and in the first few days afterward, I was truly taken aback by the number of moments I shared with my mom and sisters that included side-splitting bouts of laughter. Whether from recalling a memory from our childhood — the time Dad caught me sneaking in from a date past curfew and pulled the perfect guilt-trip move of uttering only, “I hope you enjoyed yourself,” or lightening the emotional mood with medical hijinks (plotting to save the narcotics before the hospice nurse

confiscated them), happy tears flowed right alongside the sad ones. I am not comfortable crying in front of others, even family, and my usual MO is to suppress all feelings until I can reach the safety of my minivan or bedroom. I know it’s not healthy, as evidenced by the number of binge-eating sessions where I scarfed down lasagna and banana crème pie straight from the pans. But cracking inappropriate jokes and reenacting comical Depends-changing scenes I can do. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that being able to express the pain of losing someone close through laughter has probably saved me 10 pounds and an ulcer. Grief, thank goodness, is a funny thing. Peace out.

BIBIBOP Asian Grill now open By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brian Hipsher is a firm believer that BIBIBOP Asian Grill is bringing something unique to the Carmel market. NEW BIZ “BIBIBOP Asian Grill is all about well-being, and we provide healthy, affordable Asian food,” said Hipsher, chief marketing officer for the Columbus, Ohio-based business. BIBIBOP Asian Grill held its grand opening Sept. 17 at 366 W. 116th St. in Carmel. It’s the 42nd BIBIBOP restaurant and first in Indiana. Hipsher said the customer picks a bowl with either rice, noodles or a salad base. The toppings are freshly cut vegetables, which are seasoned in different ways, followed by a sauce. Fresh fruit is a dessert option. Prices range from $6.99 to $8.49 for a bowl. Along with dine in and takeout service with curbside spots, third-party delivery options are available. “With COVID, we’ve been careful with how many dine-in tables are actually open,” Hipsher said. “We have a plan to open more

Hotel Carmichael’s Vivante offers full range of French cuisine By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel’s new luxury Hotel Carmichael’s Vivante restaurant is bringing a taste of France to the area. DINING The French eatery offers breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day and dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. Dinner is only offered Tuesday through Sunday. “We’ve been pretty busy. Breakfast and lunch have not been as busy during the week,” said Christen Angermeier, Hotel Carmichael’s restaurant manager. “It’s overlooking the gardens Angermeier at the Palladium, so it’s a really nice spot for dining out at the patio.” Angermeier said when making reservations, she suggests including if your preference is outdoor dining. Avocado toast and croque madame have been brisk breakfast sellers. “An omelet where you can choose your own fillings has been popular as well,” Angermeier said. For lunch, the turkey BLT and steak sandwich are requested often. “As far as salads go, we have a delicious tuna Nicoise salad and roasted beet salad as well,” Angermeier said. Angermeier said popular appetizers are gratinee Carmichael, French onion soup and Brussels sprouts and scallops provencal. Popular entrees include Wagyu beef medallion and roast duck chasseur. “I don’t think it’s unapproachable,” Angermeier said of the price range of entrees from $28 to $36. Joseph Hsu, who moved to Pennsylvania from Taiwan when he was 12 years old, serves Hsu as Vivante’s chef. He has 25 years of experience, including nine

years at Landry’s Restaurants, first as executive chef and then as regional chef. Hsu, a Noblesville resident, became executive chef at the Indianapolis Zoo in 2013. In 2017, he launched 5280 Bistro Hospitality. Angermeier attended Le Cordon Bleu, earning a degree in culinary arts and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University. She previously was the general manager at Cake Bake and the Cunningham Restaurant Group. Angermeier said the dining capacity was supposed to be 100 inside and 25 outside. With the social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said the average is 50 to 60 inside and outside. “We decided to move some tables outside, and there are a few tables we are not

seating inside,” she said. Feinstein’s Cabaret will offer food when it opens. “We’re hoping to open by the beginning of next year. That is the goal right now,” Angermeier said. “It’s still under construction. The main theme is dinner cabaret theater.” A lobby bar called Adagio offers small bites and is open daily from 2 to 11 p.m. “The most popular item is the charcuterie board, which makes sense because it’s a sharable item,” Angermeier said. “We’re making a decided amount of changes to the Adagio food menu.” For more, visit hotelcarmichael.com. Wagyu beef medallion is one of the most popular dinners entrees at Vivante.

IWS to open season at Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Wind Symphony will open its 2020-21 season with a “Panoramic Fantasy” concert at 3 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Big Woods Hazel Dell

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 14741 Hazel Dell Crossing, Noblesville What to get: Mac ‘n cheese Price: $11.95 Anna’s take: Big Woods Hazel Dell has a plethora of menu items, with a variety of foods. Its focus isn’t simply burgers or pasta. It offers something for everybody. I tried the mac ‘n cheese, a big bowl of trotolle pasta with smoked gouda, mozzarella, white cheddar, provolone and aged parmesan. It’s topped with roasted garlic-infused breadcrumbs. I added jalapeños for $1.95 and bacon for $2.45. For an appetizer, try the blackened chicken egg roll ($11.45), served with curry honey mustard, or the signature pulled pork nachos ($9.95). If pasta isn’t your thing, give the candied

bacon bomb burger a try for $14.95. It’s topped with house-candied bacon, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, arugula, balsamic glaze and white cheddar. Big Woods also offers pizza. I tried the chicken cordon bleu, which has grilled chicken, diced ham, chopped bacon, smoked gouda and a mozzarella cheese blend in an Alfredo base. Suggested pairings: Try the Smoked Brown County Old Fashioned for a beautiful fall drink featuring Knob Creek Rye and garnished with a toasted marshmallow and Luxardo Cherry.

Behind bars: Frisky Whiskey Tea Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 2 oz. Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey; 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup; 4 oz. iced tea; 1 lemon wedge; 1 mint sprig Directions: Add iced tea to a 12 oz. highball glass and top with ice. Pour bourbon and maple syrup into glass and stir for eight seconds. Add lemon wedge and drop in the mint sprig.

Blueprint for Improvement: A better floorplan in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. Previously, three small pantry closets were accessed via a small hallway behind the kitchen. Now combined into one space, the pantry is accessible from the kitchen through an opening hidden behind the cabinetry. 2. The kitchen was enlarged, and the location of the appliances were rearranged for a more efficient flow and improved functionality. 3. A beam was added to provide structural support in lieu of the removed pantry walls. It’s also a beautiful new focal point.

FROM CIN

THE CHALLENGE The owners of this 1995 Zionsville home had listed it for sale last year. Potential buyers kept giving the same feedback: The first floor layout was disjointed. The homeowners realized they felt the same way, so they took it off the market and made some big changes to make the space work better for their family.

Confusing history of Chapel, Church and Dome of the Ascension Commentary by Don Knebel Both Christians and Muslims believe that God took Jesus bodily to heaven, from which he will return. Visitors to TRAVEL Jerusalem can visit two structures commemorating that “Ascension,” one that mimics a structure commemorating Muhammed’s own ascension to heaven. The New Testament suggests that Jesus was carried into heaven at Bethany, a village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. However, beginning in the fourth century, the Ascension became associated with a rock on the western slope of the Mount of Olives, said to contain the right footprint of Jesus. A series of small churches was built over the rock, the last one by the Crusaders. When Muslim forces under Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187, they added a dome to the octagonal Crusader church and made it part of a mosque, allowing Christians to join Muslims in the building to celebrate Jesus’ Ascension. Today, that structure is usually called the Chapel of the Ascension. In the 1870s, the Russian Orthodox Church, not content that Muslims controlled the site of Jesus’ Ascension, constructed the Church of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives about 200 yards east of the NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL COMMON COUNCIL Ordinance No. D-2539-20 Notice is hereby given that the Carmel Common Council, on October 5, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. in the Carmel City Hall Council Chambers, One Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032, will hold a Public Hearing to consider Proposed Ordinance D-2539-20 to vacate a portion of public right-ofway at the intersection of Illinois Street, 103rd Street and Superior Street (the “Real Estate”). This partial vacation will facilitate the development of the Real Estate by Carmel Indy Holdings, LLC. The Real Estate is located entirely within the City of Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana and is more particularly described as follows: SEE EXHIBIT A ATTACHED HERETO A copy of the proposed Ordinance is on file in the Office of the Clerk, City of Carmel, Indiana, One Civic Square, Carmel, Indiana 46032.

Called the Dome of the Ascension, it looks very much like the Chapel of the Ascension, which is confusingly also sometimes called the Dome of the Ascension.

Chapel of the Ascension. To enable pilgrims to view the Jordan River, they erected a 210-foot tower adjacent to the church. They also erected a Chapel of St. John the Baptist on the site where they believed the head of John the Baptist had been buried. As if two structures remembering the Ascension of Jesus are not sufficiently confusing, a domed octagonal structure on the Temple Mount, across the Kidron Valley from the Mount of Olives, memorializes a trip to INSTALLS ON NEW & EXISTING GUTTERS
