HSHC presents proposal to council By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Clusters of humane society supporters gathered outside Fishers City Hall Feb. 20, urging residents to sign a petition supporting the growth Humane Society of Hamilton County moving from Noblesville to Fishers. White “Fishers Supports Humane Society for Hamilton County” shirts formed a sea through the public seating. It was only the organization’s first reading to the city council. HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens made a presentation, and she said because the current location’s first opening in October 2006, the humane society was over-occupied. “We need a new facility for many reasons,” she said. “The initial assumption is we are wanting to house more animals, but the reality is it is about much more than that. We were out of space the day we moved into the current facility. That day we moved in I remember not having enough space for the cats in our care.” Stevens said that 60 percent of families in Hamilton County have at least one pet in their household. The proposal is to rezone two parcels of approximately 10 acres at 10501 Hague Road from agricultural to commercial to allow for the humane society. The site is near 106th Street. “We are at the point where we reach a threshold we cannot sustain this growth,” Stevens said. “The

quality of care is at risk. We can’t give (the animals) what they deserve and certainly can’t give them what they deserve in this blessed community.” No concerns were expressed by the council except for council member Cecilia Coble asking if there were signatures from neighbors near the site. Another question from the council was for the petitioner to discover what the cost of transporting the animals, if there was one, from the current location to the new site if approved.

INSPIRING Innovation Internet of Things lab to open in Fishers

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Indiana is renowned for making things, growing things and moving things. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness accover story knowledged that legacy Feb. 21 during an innovation announcement for the City of Fishers. He said there’s no reason Indiana shouldn’t be at the forefront of the Internet of Things by establishing the first IoT Lab in the state, and possibly in Fadness the Midwest. The Internet of Things is the application of the internet to various devices. Fadness provided the anecdote of when he was younger, he was a farm boy who drove a tractor. Now, there are tractors that can drive themselves. “We fear complacency over failure every single day,” Fadness said of Fishers’ initiatives. “We want to conMcDonald tinue taking giant steps forward to not only drive our community toward sustainability but the state of Indiana.” Gov. Eric Holcomb spoke at the announcement, saying he was “flatout energized and stoked to be in Fishers once again.” “Indiana’s economy is built on our proven ability to grow things, make things and move things. Looking ahead, we also want our state to be Stephan known as a place for creativity and innovation,” Holcomb said. “To maintain our position as a leader in the new economy, IoT must be part of our strategy for the next generation of Hoosiers, and I commend all those who worked to bring this high-tech facility to Fishers.” According to a press release, Holcomb’s

The City of Fishers will rent the building for an estimated total expense of $257,000 annually. John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers, and John McDonald, CEO of ClearObject, which was formerly known as CloudOne, also spoke. The IoT lab will be approximately 24,000 square feet and offer space for meetings, ideation and a makerspace. “We want you to explore self-driving vehicles all the way to internet-connected crockpots,” Wechsler said. “Anything you can dream up that can be internet-connected, we want to be able to provide that.” McDonald said ClearOne is growing its workforce with the IoT lab, and it will increase its Indiana employee base by 15 percent this year by opening a space in the lab. “As a leading systems innovator for the Internet of Things, ClearObject has been fortunate to see the Internet of Things early, and we are excited to share what we already know with other companies and partners in this new Internet of Things lab,” McDonald said. “To show our commitment to the Internet of Things innovation in the state of Indiana and the Midwest as a whole, we intend to open a second ClearObject facility within the Fishers IoT Lab to be our technology and project services center.” Temporary or permanent space will be provided to member companies at the lab beginning at $1,000 annually. The facility plans to unite the four components of IoT solutions: cloud data, edge hardware, ideation and development. Bill Stephan, vice president for engagement at Indiana University and an IoT FIshers lab founding partner, said Indiana University’s fastest-growing school is informatics and computing. The Indiana IoT Lab-Fishers is scheduled to open this summer at 9059 Technology Dr. For more, visit indianaiot.com.

The Internet of Things includes everything that is affected by internet, from self-driving cars to the cloud to internet-connected crock pots.

A little rest for the weary

A N O THER VIEWP O I N T

Music icon one for ages Long before I had the tremendous opportunity to interview jazz, rhythm and blues and pop legend Al Jarreau, I was a fan of his musical genius. My favorites among his albums are Jarreau (1983) and High Crime (1984). While maintaining a vigorous performing schedule through 2016, Jarreau left it all on stage for his fans. I attended two Al Jarreau concerts, the most recent in 2014 at The Palladium. It was after that performance when I last spoke with Jarreau. Between that and an interview, which was a three-part conversation over three days, Jarreau was a genuine delight – positive and upbeat, even when discussing challenges he faced. Al Jarreau died Feb. 12, in Los Angeles, one month before his 77th birthday. Calling Jarreau versatile and energetic would be obvious and terribly understated. Yet triteness prevails when attempting to describe the five-time Grammy winner, who, even after surgery in 2000, still exhibited boundless energy, whether discussing his charitable work with Verizon Reads, autographing his latest CD and posing for pictures with a seemingly endless line of fans and well-wishers, or reading to inner-city school children. Getting Jarreau to sit down long enough for an interview proved challenging but well worth the effort one day in 2004 at a Washington D.C. bookstore. During his appearance, Jarreau entertained an intimate group of nearly 100 with stories, impromptu scats and his sense of humor. He loved his audiences, and they loved him back. Jarreau, indeed, was an American treasure, thoroughly expert at his craft and engaging with everyone he encountered. Sanford Horn is a Westfield resident.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Of this, that and the clutter Commentary by Terry Anker The spectacular weather led many of us to get outside and take advantage of it. With the calendar reminding that we have many weeks left of potential winter, it is too soon to do traditional spring projects like clearing the flower beds. So, our family took it to get a solid start on the ritual seasonal purging of our garage. Through the fall and winter months, it piles with assorted “treasures” – those things that have been deemed unworthy of an on-going place inside the house and yet too valuable, in some indecipherable way, to be put into the trash. Each spring, we find the resolve to shed ourselves of the accumulated debris – some to sell, some to friends or family, some to charity and some to the Dumpster. There is a decided cathartic effect in moving an item from one place to another, on its journey out of our lives. We accumulate all manner of goods (books for our children, dresses for special days, trinkets from our travels) and hold them long after they have

fulfilled their purpose. Our youngest, now 16, is more “Car & Driver” than “Nursery Rhymes.” At some point, long ago, his favorite books made it from the bedside table to a box in his closet. This winter break, he took occasion to empty the closet of non-essential gear to make room for the expected Christmas bounty. The children’s books, which had previously been imbued with some unknown significance, were deemed surplus (happily, he kept a few). Ultimately departing his room, they landed in a corner of the garage. Like river sediment, the books were stacked with other stuff and lost from sight. Today, they were unearthed and reconsidered. Tomorrow, they head to Goodwill. It takes time to distinguish clutter from prized possession. It feels good to know the difference. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

I’m not going to lie, people. I’m having one heck of a good weekend. Doo and I decided to take advantage of my parhumor ents’ snowbirding agenda and snagged a few days with them in their Florida rental. No kids, no shoes, and most importantly, no responsibilities whatsoever. Heaven, my dear friends. HEAVEN. But I find myself struggling to slow down. I woke up this morning and nearly hopped out of bed just so I could get to the beach. Then I realized it was only 5:30 a.m. I had to mentally talk myself into staying put and enjoying the next few hours of dozing. Once I did finally arise, I again had to squelch the need to get moving. What’s the hurry when the only thing planned is an early dinner and Jeopardy? Which just goes to reinforce my dream of retiring early, a few months on the Gulf Coast, days spent working jigsaw puzzles and playing bingo and evenings passed with microwaved potatoes and game shows. Believe me when I say I was made for the geriatric lifestyle. But I digress. Back to me and my inability to slow the frick down. I suppose it’s a survival mechanism. I have to constantly be “on it” at home or else my youngest will be abandoned at dance or the dog won’t be fed, or God forbid, we’ll run out of milk. Juggling work, family and the house is so mentally and physically taxing that I simply don’t have time to let my guard down. And because I’ve been in high gear for years now, I often operate on full power subconsciously. Which, come to think of it, is probably why I never feel rested in the morning. The real bugger is that by the time I adjust to the slower pace, my brief vacay will be over and I’ll be right back in the mix, having to pay the Catch-up Piper for my few moments of heaven. But even a small slice is worth it! Peace out.

Trump “a human being who is being demonized” Editor. There’s an old Buddhist instruction that everyone is just trying to be happy, and it is bad form to get angry. Here’s what I feel. This column has been a support to me, since I voted for Trump. I think he’s a human being who is being demonized. I do not agree with all his actions or rhetoric: sometimes I turn him off, but I pray for the success of many of his actions. I do not understand the scolding tone of one of your readers. She scolds you because you denigrated her cause. All I heard of the women’s march was giant-sized vagina outfits and Madonna wanting to blow up the White House. If the march had been better focused from the first, and included Republican women, I might have been supportive, but the idea from the start was too diffuse for me. The original call to action was to wear pink hats because we’re women. Democrats want to complain

because they feel bad. I think they feel bad because they like to complain. The women’s march left me cold. I felt they were marching against me and the jobs I lost to NAFTA. I did not hear any president or even governor or mayor cry crystal tears when I lost the first, (Olin Brass in Indianapolis 1999), second, (Daimler Chrysler Indy Foundry 2005) or third, (Firestone Rubber 2009) in Noblesville, a factory job after Clinton signed NAFTA. Obama often made knee-jerk idiot comments, too, before he had all the facts. Many times, I turned his rhetoric off. I blame him for all the cops that have been ambushed and shot recently. He could have said more to help them, instead of encouraging social unrest. I also have a T-shirt depicting the Twin Towers collapsing in balls of fire. It says “Never Forget.” I place that loss at Clinton’s door. Here’s where I drop my mike. Beth Mink, Fishers

Respect starts at home Commentary by Amna Tokmo According to the U.S. Census Bureau from 2015, about 9 percent culture of Fishers’ population is foreign born persons. Over 9.4 percent population in Fishers speaks language other than English at home. Behind these numbers are real people living in subdivisions of Fishers, immigrants from Vietnam, Bosnia, Libya, Mexico, India, Turkey, Somalia, just to name the few, and we all call this city our home. There are churches, mosques, temples around the town where we worship in different languages. One can only imagine the richness of customs, traditions and holidays celebrated in those homes around the city. Often times people fear or tend to misjudge what they do not understand and that can create the disparity. These days, as bigoted rhetoric seeps down from the highest office of this nation, members of immigrant community, especially Muslim community, are nervous and feeling mis-

understood. Community leaders may be taking steps to make sure the issues important to immigrants are addressed in governmental bodies of the city. I certainly hope so … But our newspapers, our libraries, city blogs, our community events, should be celebrating diversity of peoples in Fishers through stories and events. In the times when the whole country was roaring against and writing about Muslim Ban, local newspapers were writing about circus memorabilia. Great stories can be written about all of us. These stories will reveal that, while our homes may be adorned with carpets from distant homelands, and our food may appear exotic, our struggles and pleasures are the same. Our community development is supported by the money coming from a Bosnian immigrant living in Fishers along with the money from the second generation Hoosier living in Fishers. It is important to say that it is ok that we don’t look the same, practice the same religion, or speak the same language in order to be considered member of community. Our differences can only enhance our lives and make our community even better.

Society needs arts, humanities Editor, I trust we all agree that the arts and humanities presented nobly at America’s museums make the world a better place to live and learn. Museums play a critical role in helping us rediscover and rewire our societal DNA between the two hemispheres of thought and action. In the coming weeks, President Trump plans to release a formal budget plan for fiscal year 2018, which begins Oct. 1, and Congress will begin the work of writing bills to fund federal government agencies and programs. Early reports indicate the National Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowment for the Arts could face potential elimination because funding for museums is “not a core federal responsibility,” as witnessed by a recent budget resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. The NEH and NEA were last reauthorized more than two decades ago, increasing their vulnerability in Congress. The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now due for reauthorization in another six years.

I concur with Laura Lott, president and CEO of the American Alliance of Museums, who recently wrote that “these agencies play a uniquely valuable role in helping make the arts and humanities accessible to every American.” Lott further stated that “we are extremely concerned by these reports and the museum field will stand strongly against any effort to gut the important work of the NEA and NEH or any other federal agency supporting the work of museums.” Conner Prairie has been the recipient of federal grants that have significantly expanded its educational programing and services and now serve as national benchmarks for other museums. Since 2010, the museum has been awarded nearly $900,000 in federal grants for the development and implementation of exhibits and programming. All citizens and every member of Congress need to understand how federal grants come back to local communities, including 40 percent of both of the NEA and NEH budgets that are sent directly to state arts commissions and humanities councils. In the past three years alone, Conner Prairie has received nearly $15,000 from the Indiana Arts Commission, funds re-granted from the NEA, to help support art programs. Conner Prairie and other museums can all point to how government grants are critical in leveraging additional private contributions from local communities. We all need to advocate for museums as significant economic engines, stewards and trustees of important collections, community connectors and education providers. So how can you help? You can start by expressing your support for the NEA, NEH and IMLS in your circle of influence. Inform your family, friends and colleagues and make sure members of Congress know how important these funds are to museums throughout the country. You can also get social. The Congressional Management Foundation found that 80 percent of Congressional staffs pay close attention to constituents on social media. More than three-quarters of senior staff reported that social media helps them have more meaningful interactions with constituents. Find your elected officials on social media and start following them to learn about their priorities so you are prepared to make your case for continued federal funding. Norman Burns President and CEO, Conner Prairie

I imbrace (embrace?) editing Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Happy 15th (fifteenth?) anniversary to Heidi. Heidi is my proofreader (proof-reader?). Everything I’ve written for the last 15 humor (fifteen?) years is first sent to her via e-mail (email?) to make sure there are no spelling or usage errors. This week she is very busy with an out of town (out-oftown?) commitment, so I’m doing my own proofing. If I said I wasn’t nervous, well that would be a bald-faced (bold-faced?) lie. Newspapers that publish my column have editors who check my work, but I wouldn’t want whoever (whomever?) has that responsibility to think that on a week to week (week-to-week?) basis, I’m not a careful writer. I would be really embarrassed if they continually (continuously?) found mistakes in my column, so Heidi is a preventative (preventive?) measure to be sure I get it right. I know a little about grammar, but when it comes to some of the other nuances of language, I’m not sure I can pass muster (mustard?). If I have specific questions, I might check things out on the internet (Internet?). I wouldn’t want to put my column on my website (Website? Web site?) if it weren’t error-free (error free?). Unless you have your own personal copy edi-

tor (copyeditor?), you won’t know if you’re in the mood for an ice tea or an iced tea. Or maybe some French fries (French Fries? french fries?). And when you get to the airport, you won’t know whether (if?) you should check your carry-on luggage or your carryon luggage. Heidi gives me free reign (rein? range?) with my creative ideas. And she is always consistent. That’s the kind of person I can depend on (upon?). She may be the best proofer in the mid-west (Mid-West? midwest? Midwest?). Some writers prefer a hands-off approach to their work, but I really need her help. I like it when she hones (homes?) in on my mistakes. I don’t mind if she splits hairs (hares?). Few people know all the do’s and don’ts (dos and don’t’s?) of the language. I’ve had discussions among (between?) a great number (amount?) of writers and they all agree you need a person like Heidi, although your ego can sometimes get quashed (squashed?). Yes, I really need her. Even my wife, Mary Ellen (Mary-Ellen? Maryellen?), agrees.

REA D ER ’ S VIEW

“You can be a voice for Hoosier decency” Editor, In your last column, you described yourselves as “conservatives, but not Republicans.” May I interpret conservative values to include upholding democratic traditions, treating one another with civility and promoting common decency? If so, I would like to see those values promoted within this space. These are values I hope are shared by all residents of Hamilton County. President Trump does not reflect these values. He actively undermines democratic traditions when he berates judges. He shows an utter lack of civility in his petulant and petty tweets about his critics. He lies without shame, boasts at a prayer breakfast and accepts zero responsibility for his own actions. Why defend this man? Why even tepidly indulge his fixations, as you did when you suggested he avoid a “deep and broad investigation into voter fraud”? This man has

degraded our national culture. Do not let him degrade our local culture as well. Be a voice for Hoosier decency. Agree to treat all people with dignity despite their differing viewpoints, unlike Donald Trump, who called journalists “scum.” Agree not to scapegoat as Donald Trump does when he suggests all Syrian refugees are potential terrorists. Try not to draw gross generalizations from single anecdotes, as you did when you used one tweet about Donald Trump’s son Barron as an opportunity to take a dig at the “main stream media.” Your column, for its many flaws, is more legitimately a part of “mainstream media” than the Twitter account of the entertainment writer who took the aforementioned jab at Barron Trump. So as purveyors of media, agree to promote evidence-based reasoned discourse. That is my plea. Collin Lawrence, Fishers

As the Valentines flowers begin to droop their heads, wilting…and the heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are slowly consumed…it may seem as though the spirit of Valentine’s Day is over; however, love may still be in the air. Cupid’s arrows may have struck a few unsuspecting hearts during this past holiday season of love. But what if the owners of those hearts are currently going through a divorce? There are so many questions to be asked during the divorce process, but one that might not be as expected is: When is it okay to begin dating again, especially if I have children? As divorce attorneys, we are commonly asked for a permissible timeframe within which clients may begin seeing someone new. As with many questions posed to family law attorneys, the answer to this is specific to the individual and their matter at hand. The choice to begin dating is a personal one and only that individual knows when the “time is right”. There is no correct legal answer or Court Order restricting divorcing parents from dating. While it is not “illegal” to date during your divorce (or thereafter), there are some practical considerations you may want to consider if you are contemplating a new relationship, especially if you have children. When should my children meet the new person in my life? If children are involved, you may consider withholding the introduction of this new person to your children until the relationship becomes serious. The changes and transitions children experience during and after their parents’ divorce can be difficult (even if the divorce is ultimately in their best interest) and this new relationship can be confusing depending, largely, upon the ages of the children. Introducing your children to your new significant other(s) will likely

only confuse your them, and may even cause additional animosity between spouses during the ongoing divorce case. Also, prior to introducing a new person into your children’s life, you must remember that his/her character, family, and history can sometimes play roles in the Court’s determination of custody and parenting time in your divorce case, depending upon this person’s involvement and relationship with your children. Utilizing the “best interest of the child” factors, the Court will be interested in your new significant other, as he/she will help shape and impact your children’s environment going forward. Looking forward, if you do decide to begin dating again, either during a divorce or thereafter, you may be wise to consider a prenuptial agreement, if the relationship becomes serious. As we enter into an era where “happily ever afters” take a few tries; why not ensure and protect your children, in case divorce does occurs. Since prenuptial agreements allow for the freedom to carefully fashion and navigate through the structure of separation through open communication, you will no longer find yourself with the harsh realities of divorce and at the mercy of Indiana equitable distribution laws. The Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding, prenuptial agreements, divorce, relocation, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Self-check: Know your normal Commentary by Kimbre Zahn Self-exams are a tricky subject — there are just so many variables and high potential for misinterpretation. The bottom line: if you see an abnormality, see your your health doctor. There’s no substitute for routine wellness visits and consultation with a medical professional, but it’s important to know what’s normal for your own body. Here are three specific areas you should pay attention to. Skin According to OutrunTheSun.org, “more than 120,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma each year.” That’s why the medical community recommends that every adult should routinely monitor skin changes over time. And this applies to your partner’s skin as well, especially on the back. In addition to looking for new moles, non-healing scabs and changes in color or size, know your A, B, C, and Ds: • A — Asymmetry. Melanoma lesions are often irregular. • B — Border. Melanoma lesions usually have irregular borders that are difficult to define. • C — Color. Multiple colors can be an early warning sign. • D — Diameter. Melanoma lesions are typically greater than six millimeters. Breasts Recently, there has been some debate over the value of breast self-exam. Many women don’t perform it regularly or at all, and it has

been known to lead to unnecessary biopsies. However, self-exam is still useful when used in conjunction with annual physical exams beginning in early adulthood and mammography beginning at age 50, or earlier if you are at a higher risk. Some bumpiness is natural. That’s why it’s important to examine yourself routinely, so you know what’s normal for your own body. Look for changes in breast size and density, lumps in breasts and armpits and skin dimpling. Men can also suffer from breast cancer, but because the prevalence is low, there is no recommended routine screening. Testicles The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force states, “There is inadequate evidence that screening by clinician examination or patient self-examination has a higher yield or greater accuracy for detecting testicular cancer at earlier (and more curable) stages.” However, it also states that “most cases of testicular cancer are discovered accidentally by patients or their partners.” The decision to perform either a clinical or self-examination should be a shared decision between you and your physician based your individual risks and benefits.

You are the stakeholders of this airport. We have one international airport and three additional reliever airports.

‘The Homecoming’ brings film industry close to home By Heather Collins • editorial@youarecurrent.com A group of local filmmakers are proving Indiana can indeed be a part of film culture, with the making of a local short film “The Homecoming.” The film crew includes writer, producer and cinematographer Dan Cavallini of Noblesville, movies producer and writer Bruce Northern of Geist and director Mark Nash of Carmel. “It’s about going home to tend to old wounds, and the wounds weren’t what you thought they were,” Cavallini said of the film. According to Nash, Indiana doesn’t offer special tax incentives, and therefore doesn’t have the infrastructure, for film crews and companies to benefit from filming in Indiana. Nash cited “The Fault in Our Stars” as a prime example of how Indiana is missing out on film revenue. “The Fault in Our Stars” was filmed in Pennsylvania with a set built to replicate Indianapolis. “We’re trying to connect something here where folks can stay in the state and keep the money here,” Nash said. “We’ve made this film as a good example that we can make good films with quality actors here in Indiana.” The cast and crew consists of members of the Screen Actors Guild and the Indiana Filmmakers Network. “The Home-

coming” showcases the acting debut of Nash’s two stepsons as well as a cameo by his veteran-actress wife, Shani Salyers Stiles.

Chef Adams, Fresh to Order come to Hamilton Town Center

The film’s score was created by Virgil Franklin, assistant professor of audio recording and production at Vincennes University, and includes the original song “Temporary” by Slaid Cleaves, an Austin-based singer-songwriter. “This film taught me the joy of collaboration,” Northern said. The majority of “The Homecoming” was filmed in Indianapolis. “The reason I wanted to get involved and help produce this film is because it not only includes a phenomenal cast and crew, but proves that Indiana has the talent and strong work ethic that it takes to make a great film come together,” “The Homecoming” film producer Amy Pauszek said. “This film was made locally and it was amazing to see how the community of Lawrence supported it. We recently posted our movie trailer on various social media sites and everyone loved it. People often ask what happens next after a film is finished. Our next step for ‘Homecoming’ is to enter it into the very best film festivals, not just locally but also to film festivals around the world. This is a way for others to experience a well-written, heartfelt story and see the incredible work by all who are involved. I’m proud to be a part of this amazing short film and am so honored to be surrounded by actors, crewmembers and friends who strive to educate and inspire others through art and film.” For more, follow Homecoming - The Movie on Facebook.

Yep, Where’s Amy has found a new favorite theater after attending Carmel Community Players sold-out “Suite Surrender,” a comical farce directed and produced by CCP’s Artistic Director Jan Jamison. The play takes place at the Presidential Suite of the Palm Beach Royale Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., in 1942. It’s a night of chaotic, nonstop crazy fun full of surprises, twists and turns. I could not stop laughing and loved every single minute of it. Every cast member took ownership of their roles, which were demanding and spot-on. Jamison put together a stellar ensemble that shined, and their comedic timing was superb. The impressive set, stylish and sparkling costumes and an adorable four-legged star named Mr. Boodles also helped make this hysterical play a hit. The audience was in stitches from beginning to end, with a well-deserved standing ovation at the conclusion. Bravo to this talented cast and crew who allowed me to sneak backstage to snap some photos just minutes before the performance. Be sure to catch a show at Carmel Community Players located at Clay Terrace Shopping Mall in Carmel.

Blueprint for Improvement: 1970s main level remodel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to design a kitchen with better work flow and cosmetically update the adjoining spaces. 1. In the kitchen, a pantry was removed to create a designated space for the refrigerator and a beverage station. Below the beverage station is a drawer that houses dog bowls that can be hidden away when not in use. 2. Bulkheads and low ceilings were removed to visually open up the kitchen and create more cabinet space. 3. The kitchen island was created to be as functional as possible. It houses a drawer for trash bins as well as designated locations for appliances. 4. The living room now has custom built-ins and an updated fireplace surround. 5. The powder bath now features a tile accent wall that really gives the space the style it was lacking before.

Before Background Info: This 1970s home in the Brookshire neighborhood in Carmel was in need of many functional and aesthetic updates.

Before problems: The owners were looking for design strategies to develop more functionality in their home and meet their stylistic needs. Their kitchen had low 8-feet ceilings and unpractical functionality. Their family room lacked personality and the powder bath was dated.

The Church of the Beatitudes

Dispatches Designer workshop series — The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics at Inspired Outdoor Living: Turn Your Outdoor Space Into an Oasis at 10:30 a.m. March 21 at the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. Light refreshments will be provided.

Commentary by Don Knebel The Church of the Beatitudes, located above the north shore of Israel’s Sea of Galilee, remembers Jesus’ Sermon on the travel Mount, among the most famous sermons in history. The church is named for the Beatitudes in that sermon, eight statements beginning with the word “Blessed.” The Bible does not indicate where the Sermon on the Mount was given beyond saying that Jesus “went up on a mountainside.” In about 380 A.D., Egeria, a Spanish pilgrim, wrote a report on her trip to the Holy Land in which she claimed to have identified the hill on which Jesus preached, and another area in which he fed 5,000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish. Based on Elgeria’s description, the Byzantines built a church honoring the Sermon on the Mount on the side of a hill once known as Mt. Eremos, just west of Capernaum. In the 1930s, the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary asked Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to help them build a new church above the ruins of the Byzantine church. Mussolini, who had been baptized late

in life and needed the Church to support his regime, agreed. Mussolini commissioned Antonio Barluzzi, an Italian Franciscan monk who had become famous for designing churches in the Holy Land, to design what became known as the Church of the Beatitudes. The church was constructed between 1936 and 1938 and features a Byzantine-style dome with gold mosaic and eight marble sides symbolizing the eight Beatitudes. The church is set among gardens and trees and provides a magnificent view of the Sea of

Galilee and the fertile Plain of Gennesaret. In March 2000, Pope John Paul II celebrated mass at the church, speaking to a crowd assembled on the hillside below just as they might have been at the time of Jesus.
