Some effects of referendum already felt By Sam Elliott “ bP\/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The passing of the Hamilton Southeastern Schools tax referendum has creEDUCATION ated plenty of new work for the district and administration. “We're moving right away to make some of this happen,â€? Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff said in a presentation to the board. “(May 10) we had our job fair and had 800 people show up for that job fair, which was amazing and only underscores the reputation this district enjoys ‌ We weren’t necessarily expecting such numbers.â€? Jobs created as a result of the referendum’s approval by voters include assistant principal positions at the district’s elementary schools, technologists in each building, counselors and teachers. A bid for portable classrooms, totaling $469,000, was approved by the board in an effort to reduce class sizes at the elementary level, one of the promises of the referendum campaign. Another promise of the campaign was a new world languages program beginning in the elementary schools, with the goal being to implement that program for the 2017-18 school year. Additional effects of the approved referendum include an enhancement to the supply budget that will begin in January 2017 and the elimination of the pay-to-play surcharge fee. “We're looking at a negotiated raise,â€? Bourff said, noting collective bargaining had yet to begin but is expected. “It looks like we're going to be able to

negotiate a raise this year at some level. Placement on our salary schedule is also something that we’re looking at. “A lot is happening, and it’s exciting,� he added. During the Snapshots of Success portion of the meeting, board members and Bourff recognized Sneha Shah, the chair of the Advance HSE political action committee, and her executive board. “When I was young, I always thought I would be a teacher,� Shah said. “I would play school, and I loved my teachers and I still remember all of my teachers, but then I grew up and realized I was not built to be a teacher, so instead I became an advocate for the teachers, and our education system. It's been a complete honor and pleasure.�

Fishers boasts four 500 Festival princesses By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ This will be the 10th year Madison Stahl has attended the Indy 500, but this one will be extra special. TRADITION “I grew up in a family that loves IndyCar and loves the 500,� she said. “I grew up seeing the princesses go around the track and when I was little I thought, ‘How can I be one of them?’ Now I’m blessed to be one.� Stahl, a 2013 Fishers High School graduate and junior elementary education major at Indiana University, is one Stahl of 33 selected to serve as 500 Festival princesses and one of four from Fishers along with Morgan Jacobs, Ally Stein and Kayla Wilson. Stein, a 2013 Hamilton Southeastern graduate, is a junior elementary education major at Purdue. Jacobs “I’ve heard the memorial service is just phenomenal,� Stein said. “It’s all about serving our veterans. I can’t wait to attend that.� The Festival Memorial Service is at noon May 27 at the Indiana War Memorial. Stein’s family has a parade tradition. “My mom has a picture of me waving the flag down when I was 2,� Stein said. “We go to

the parade, and then we go to Acapulco Joe’s.� Stein has been to the past three Indy 500s but can only imagine how much more special it will be to be a princess. “Doing all the education visits, I’ve learned so much more about the track and the history,� Stein said. Wilson, a 2015 FHS graduate and IUPUI freshman, said she learned about the program from her grandparents, Shari and Chuck Knox. “They’ve very active in the Indy 500, and they wanted me to apply,� Wilson said. “I’m looking forward to all Stein the lasting relationships. All the princesses are amazing.� Jacobs, a Pendleton Heights graduate whose mother now lives in Fishers, got interested in the program through one of her Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sisters. Wilson “My chapter president did it last year, and she really pushed me towards it,� said the Indiana State sophomore. “I always thought about it but was never sure. She answered all the questions I had and inspired me to do it. I’m looking forward to bonding more with the princesses. We’ve already had such a great time.�

T-shirt campaign seeks to redefine normal

HAS COME TO TOWN!

By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

S U M M E R T R AV E L I S A B O U T H E R E !

Colleen Stine and business parter Colleen Berkowitz imagine a world without stereotypes or discrimination. GIVING BACK A world where it is normal to be different. Their business, Mama Said Tees, has produced a campaign called “Let’s Redefine Normal.� The T-shirts are being sold with the word “Normal� on them. “We’re not saying you have to support other people’s decisions, we just want you to be nice and not judge,� Stine said. “People look at me, and on the outside, might think I’m happygo-lucky. They would never dream that I or my family have been through what we’ve been through.� Her older sister, Shannon O’Malia Hall, was killed by her ex-husband, David Hall, in a murder-suicide in July 2014 at her parents’ home in Carmel. Shannon was a teacher at Saint Louis de Montfort Elementary School in Fishers. Stine, 32, and her husband, Doug, moved from St. Louis to Carmel to raise her two nephews, Connor and Danny, along with their own three young children, including her baby, Shannon. Connor just turned 12 and Danny will turn 10 June 8. The video of “Let’s Redefine Normal� can be found on mama-said-tees.myshopify.com. The video gives examples of biracial and lesbian couples as well as individuals with disabilities. “Everyone has busy lives.

well,� Stine said. “It’s nice you can sit down and watch this video and say, ‘Tell me some things about some kids at your school you don’t perceive as normal, and let’s talk about that. How can we change maybe how you and others treat them.’ It could catch like wildfire if the right people see it.� Stine said she understands children’s curiosity but said she would answer questions privately. “I just don’t want them to ask me point blank in front of someone that might have a physical disability or difference,� Stine said. “I don’t want that person to feel less human because you’re looking at them funny or saying what’s wrong with that person.� Stine said 15 percent of sales of the Normal T-shirts go to PACER’s (Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights) National Bullying Prevention Center. Stine is in charge of the creative aspects of Mama Said Tees while Berkowitz, from a Chicago suburb, handles the business end.

Begin by going through each item of clothing. Have a “currentâ€? mindset. What I mean by that is get rid of anything that doesn’t make you feel good today. This would include items that are now faded, begun to pill or are worn down. Take the texture into account, too. Is it itchy? Snags easily? Consider pieces that no longer fit — whether too big or too small — that you are holding on to “just in case.â€? Let those bring joy to someone else who can use them. Sort by season and store out-of-season clothes out of the way. Finally, determine what hasn’t been worn in a while. Try turning your hangers backwards. When you wear it, turn the hanger around. Anything left backwards after a determined amount of time (three to six months is recommended) gets

donated. This allotted time also gives you a chance to set money aside for some new threads. We are fortunate to have seemingly unlimited options for clothing, so be confident that there will be replacements that feel good and fit well. A cost-friendly option is to have a fashion-savvy friend come over and give new life to your clothes. They will be able to create “new� outfits with existing pieces, making you feel like you’ve just been on a shopping spree without spending a dime! Also, take advantage of second-hand stores. Many pieces are name brand and in great condition. Some even have the original tags! Vanity Fair correspondent Amy Collins says, “Opening your closet should be like arriving at a really good party where everyone you see is someone you like.� Happy organizing, friends!

Where is the love? Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw You know that moment you click on a scripture verse for encouragement RELIGION on Facebook and find the comments below akin to a WWE wrestling match? I went to one professional wrestling event the year I graduated high school. Goldberg was going to “fight” Andre the Giant. It’s oddly entertaining as thousands of people chant amidst flashing lights, smoke and music. Near the end of the match, Goldberg does his infamous spear move and chaos erupts. The ring is flooded with other wrestlers and bouncers as the announcer yells, “We have World War III breaking out!” It’s all about showmanship — people trying to look big and influential. Condescending posturing weaves in and out of the wrestlers’ ring as it does through my social media feed. Social media comment sections have gone from feeling like a high school lunch table of chatty cheerleaders to WWE mayhem. It bothers me most when the pretentious, arrogant swagger comes from those who call themselves Christians. I get it. It’s easy to fall into this. Someone offers a theological idea that is off and you feel it’s your duty to correct it. The problem is the love is gone. Instead of HELPING your brother out, you are TAKING your brother out. Guess who is

watching — all your friends who don’t believe in Christ. Instead of defending your perspective of the truth, you discredit its power by how you posture yourself. Don’t hear me wrong. I am not talking about blatant sin and accountability here. I am primarily talking about internal fighting over perspectives that are still within the greater Christian camp. I agree, we need to hone each other out as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). Yet, we are to seek a mature understanding of the scripture with an attitude of love (Ephesians 4:1-16). I do believe there are times that call for strong correction (Luke 17:3), but the goal is unity and restoration. Again, I’m not saying we shouldn’t stand for truth. However, please be aware of how you are doing so. The whole world is watching so many discredit the truth they proclaim by the false conduct of their character. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35) Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Buried treasures surround us Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg Presbyterian Minister Frederick Buechner once said, “If we have our RELIGION wits about us, almost anything we look at has treasure buried in it.” The key is being aware of what is happening around us. Do we notice the little things that often go unnoticed? Do we notice the sunset that appears in the midst of our gloomiest of days, a call from a longtime friend when we are feeling alone or the sudden disappearance of a pain that has plagued us for weeks? God want us to not only notice but also appreciate the little — as well as the big — things in life, for in them we often find our way back to him. Have you ever noticed, even for you who are strong in your faith, that in spite of the abundance of blessings God has provided, when we are faced with adversity we begin to lose sight of God or even feel our faith diminish, wondering if God really cares? We all at times look for a miracle to come and lift the burden weighing us down, but perhaps with proper vision we can see big

miracles in the little things around us. We see them in the unexpected encouraging word, the offer of help from an unexpected source or the freshness in a simple change of environment. Finding the treasure buried in the little things of life is as simple as keeping our eyes wide open and expecting the best of God. Miracles are all around us every day. Sometimes they come with God breaking into everyday events. Sometimes bigger miracles come from ordinary people and things around us, and often we ourselves become the catalyst for God’s miracles just by showing up. Keep your wits around you, and you will find the buried treasures that God has placed there for your discovery.

He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for more than 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

By Sam Elliott “ bP\/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Chief Steve Orusa just celebrated his five-year anniversary of being the man in charge of the Fishers Fire Dept., but if you ask him, he has plenty of people he reports to. “I have 140 bosses,â€? he said of his COVER STORY department’s employees. “If you look at our organizational chart, it's upside-down. I'm on the bottom. The most important people in our organization are the men and women who get off the fire trucks. When they commit themselves to harm's way, their families are also committed to harm's way. The most important job that we have as a staff is to make sure they have everything they need to be safe. That mission never ends.â€? That flipped chart isn’t just theoretical imagery — inside the department’s annual report can be found FFD’s official organizational structure, with Orusa’s position at the bottom and the Fishers community at the top. “Service goes up — the community is on top, then the people that get off the trucks — and accountability goes down, and I'm on the bottom because I'm accountable for everything,â€? Orusa said. “Having 140 bosses to serve, it's a challenge. It's exciting, and I couldn't dream of doing anything else. I love it. I love all them, and I love the job.â€? Orusa first came to Fishers as a deputy chief from the Chicago metro area — where he’d worked in every rank from firefighter to deputy chief — in 2010 and was named chief the following year, with his five years in charge accounting for nearly one-fifth of the department’s lifespan after transitioning from a volunteer to full-career department in 1989. “The fire department I came from is 150 years old, so there's a lot of blood, sweat and tears and lessons learned that you don't have the benefit of when you're only a generation old,â€? Orusa said. “Whether you're 150 years old, or whether you're 25 years old, the organization is made by the people inside it. I'm not shy to say that the men and women on our fire department are some of the best on the planet. “Externally, our customer and community can see that. They see the community paramedicine program. They see the mental health initiative. They see a safer, more effective and more efficient fire department and that happens because of the people and the organization,â€? he said. “But internally is what I'm most proud of. If you're going to make progress, if you're going to improve, if you're going to get better year after year, you have to embrace change, and leadership is a requirement for change ‌ What our men and women have been able to do is, instead of being focused inward on self, they're focused outward on their mission and their values. They've created a culture that embraces change, that embraces getting better, that embraces improv-

ing, so now those men and women on our fire department have created changes as an institutional value.â€? Orusa also has implemented and empowered his workforce to write its own mission statements and values, creating an ownership and vested interest for all inside the department’s seven stations. The department’s strategic planning has been key over the years as Fishers has continued to grow, with Orusa and his team targeting and projecting growth and what it means for the FFD. “We're being proactive in identifying where we need to increase staffing and fire stations. Obviously, the northeast is one section, but also the northwest,â€? he said. “We were primarily a rural, suburban community for a long time. Now we're becoming a more urban interface, which means the risks and hazards mirror more of a larger city than a sprawling suburb. Anticipating that, we examine our strategic plan every year. It's a flexible, living document, and that strategic plan drives our budget, and it drives our staff meetings, so we always know the destination and are on the right path.â€? That strategic planning, research, analysis and the department’s performance has earned FFD recognition from the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. Less than one percent of fire departments in the country are internationally accredited, Orusa said, with FFD being one of just three in Indiana to make the grade. “This is the most progressive, most impactful place I've ever worked,â€? Orusa said. “It's the best job I've ever had ‌ It's so exciting to be a part of, especially for me because I'm in the twilight of my career. Having been around the block and seeing how other organizations and other city governments function, I believe I have a unique appreciation for what we have here today.â€?

COIN COLLECTOR Among his office, which includes quotes of inspiration and wisdom, as well as a signed photo of sports idol Mike Ditka, is a collection of unique coins that tell a story of Orusa’s 31-year career. “Each one of these challenge coins has a history,� he said of one shelf of approximately 50 coins. “You work with people throughout your career, and as a token of appreciation and friendship, they’ll give you a challenge coin. All the people who have given me challenge coins, I’ve worked with on different operations, and we exchange those as a token of friendship and camaraderie, and they bring back memories. I’ve got a couple from Israel, New York, Chicago, the FBI — I’ve been blessed to have a really cool career. I’ve been all over the world, and I’ve been able to do a lot of different things.�

FROM THE COMMUNITY

Who are you? Study tells us We recently were handed the results of our latest round of commissioned marketplace research. SMARI, Inc. of Carmel did the heavy lifting for us, and we’ve learned even more about what people want in their Current each week. (You might recall that our report historically has been based on such findings. We, indeed, let the community edit our product.) So, who are you? For starters, we know 70 percent of our initial readers are female, 82 percent are married, 69 percent have lived in the community for 10 or more years, 47 percent of households have no one 18 years old or younger in them and while 46 percent of households earn a minimum of $100,000 a year, another 11 percent of households earn at least $200,000 a year. We also know 92 percent of Current recipients read our editions, and 64 percent of them keep Current in the home from one to seven days. Our audience is most fond of dining out (fine dining, sit-down dining and fast-food dining), travel, parks, spas and beauty opportunities, shopping for cars or automotive products, gardening and landscaping, live performances, health/wellness and fitness, museums, in-theatre movies, do-it-yourself projects, auctions and all manner of cultural events. That’s an extremely powerful snapshot of who our reader is. As has been the case, we will continue to massage our content presentation to reflect the market’s preferences, while continuing to focus on community news, government, experiential opportunities, road construction and building projects, among other topics.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Cheating cheaters Commentary by Terry Anker If cheaters never prosper, why do they seem to win almost every time? Take the high road. Turn the other cheek. It can be tough to listen quietly as others express hurtful, ignorant or even intentionally destructive remarks. They take advantage of guile, fear and manipulation to keep us put. And, they “win� every time. Well, not every time. Trust matters. We humans learned long before the first creative types memorialized our joint efforts on the cave walls that it is to our mutual benefit to work in groups. We protect each other. We sacrifice our own interest for each other. We have a much better chance of prevailing against the Woolly mammoth when in the company of each other. When we cultivate confidence and fidelity in our friends and family, we can best count on their support when and where we need it. Alternatively, lying, bullying and other subterfuge, no matter how clever we imagine it to be, eventually, wears thin.

Prevaricating, threatening and manipulating can keep others under our will for a moment, but only until the occasion allows for escape. Wouldn’t we be better served to forge our relationships in honesty, knowing that our rejection, if deserved, will be immediate rather, than coming when we most need the backing? If we tell the truth and let folks get to know us upfront, wouldn’t we expect that, when the chips are down, they are there because they want to be and will stay at our sides? Fear, fraud and deception are like iron shackles – they only work when tightly bound but fail if loosened. Sure, we might get expelled from the mean-girl club, but knowing that our friends know us, and are still willing to stand with us, is worth it. Cheaters may win occasionally, but they never prosper for long. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

° <PacX] ;dcWTa :X]V 9a

For the life of me, I could not think of anything to write about this week until I spent two and a half hours HUMOR on a bike, cycling through the small towns and farms just north of where I live. If that sounds miserable to you, believe me, it was. Every single minute of it was an exercise in concentration, perseverance and bladder control. But I’m hell-bent on finishing a half-Ironman in June, and just because the temperature is an unseasonable 43 degrees with wind gusts of up to 25 mph does not mean you can go back to bed on a Saturday. There’s guard practice to carpool and dance competitions to attend! Anyhoo, back to my two-wheel road trip. I’ve always had remarkably strong powers of observation (it’s a gift), so I decided to put them to use, at least when I wasn’t accidently heading for a ditch or purposely peeing in one. I was absolutely amazed at the weird, wonderful and undoubtedly disturbing things I saw within a 10-mile radius of my house. There were horses, cows, geese and hogs; honeysuckle, roses, poison ivy and dandelions; Colts flags, IU basketball hoops, WHS signs and a rogue Patriots banner (How dare you, sir!). I smelled bonfires, fresh manure and gasoline; rode past new subdivisions, crumbling Craftsmen and what I’m pretty sure was a meth lab; and discovered a back road that doesn’t even appear on Google maps. I saw dental offices, consignment shops and eggs for sale; was passed by pickups, mini-vans, a semi and a rusty garbage truck; and wondered on several occasions how long we’d last after a Yellowstone super volcano eruption with all the silos and water towers punctuating the landscape. (I recently read “Ashfall,� and it makes a zombie apocalypse look like a clogged toilet.) My toes froze, my sunglass were blown off and with the wind, I think I actually was pedaling backwards at times. But I was rewarded with a fascinating look at rural Indiana and something non-controversial to write about for the week. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Mayors share stage, views By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Four Hamilton County mayors shared views and one-liners on the same COUNTY stage at a OneZone event May 11 at the Forum Conference Center in Fishers. The mayors took questions from the audience, including one on how they work with the state legislature on laws that may affect their cities. “The best thing the legislature can do is stay home and let us run our communities,â€? Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “However, that’s not going to change ‌ They pass a law and (believe) one size fits all and it doesn’t make a lot of sense.â€? Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said, “Coming in from the private sector 10 years ago and dealing with municipal finance, I’m absolutely appalled at the laws and policies that hinder growing cities.â€? One place where the mayors do agree with the state legislature is with a gas tax to improve roads. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard suggested a mileage-based formula. â€œSomebody on social security who drives 10 miles a week shouldn’t be paying as much as someone who drives a couple hundred miles a week or a trucker who comes through the state from New York or California,â€? Brainard said. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said the failed

Indiana House proposal, which included raising the gas tax from 18 cents to 22 cents per gallon and an increase of a $1 tax on cigarette packs, was the best long-term solution for road funding. “We made a small step forward (with a funding bill that did pass),� Fadness said. “But I am hoping we can revive that conversation in the next legislature because there were a lot of good things in there and it was a sustainable, systemic approach to an ongoing infrastructure issue.�

Folk duo to play May 24 By Desiree Williams TSXc^aXP[/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

Teacher of the Month!

CONGRATS! The winners for last month's Teacher of the Month contest, sponsored by Market District, are: Teacher Brian Krause Student Andrew Taylor The winning students will get to have a lunchtime party and the teachers will receive gift certificates to Market District.

After completing a cross-country tour last year, as well as touring Europe and Canada, traditional country and folk duo MUSIC Beverly Smith and John Grimm are stopping in Indiana. They will be performing at 7:30 p.m. May 27 at Logan Street Sanctuary, 1274 Logan St., in Noblesville. Logan Street Sanctuary suggests a $12 donation, which goes to the performers, but admission is free of charge. Smith and Grimm individually found music at a young age, but they became a duo four years ago after meeting at the Bear on the Square Mountain Festival in Dahlonega, Georgia. “We met there and played some fiddle tunes together,� Grimm said. “We liked what we did and got together after that.� Both musicians are award-winning multi-instrumentalists – each can play the fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin – and singers. Grimm describes their sound as traditional, old-time music, accompanied by harmony singing. They are inspired by turn-of-the-century music and fiddlers like Tommy Jarrell and Clyde Davenport, or “obscure artists no one

has ever heard of,� Grimm said, jokingly. The duo performs the old-time tunes often, but they have also written original pieces. “In our performances, we don’t want to write anything that sounds too modern,� Grimm said. The duo recently released their second album, and a third is in the works. Grimm said their albums usually include old tunes with one or two original pieces, but they want to incorporate more originals on the next album. Grimm also owns Vintage Music, a shop in Georgia where he sells instruments, teaches music lessons and offers a recording studio facility for patrons. For more, visit smithgrimm.com.

Where’s Amy attends Flix party for ‘Jaws’

Where’s Amy attended the Flix Brewhouse Amity Island Beach Party celebrating the 1975 film “Jaws.� Guests enjoyed ordering delicious food from the Flix menu, along with six variants of award-winning brews made by Head Brewer Chris Knott. The night was full of suspense as audience members squirmed in fear as the film’s classic theme music played. (You know you remember it!) Young and old attended the event and took home an official “Jaws� souvenir glass for their own catch of the day. Flix Brewhouse is known for its themed screenings up on the big screen. There’s more on the way to escape the summer heat, and I hope to see you there. For more, visit flixbrewhouse.com/ carmel. Pictured, Fritz Sullivan, John Sullivan, Mike House and Brandon Richardson said they were excited to see “Jaws� on the big screen. ?W^c^b Qh 0\h ?PdbiTZ U^a 2daaT]c ?dQ[XbWX]V ;;2 2^_haXVWc ! % 0[[ AXVWcb ATbTaeTS

Blueprint for Improvement: Elegant bathroom transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS:

After

The goal was to create more open, functional bathroom for the homeowners that added the elegant details they were looking for. 1. The dividing wall was removed, creating a more open space and allowing larger shower and cabinetry footprints. 2. The larger shower features a stunning curved glass door and adjacent wall panel. 3. A spa-like, custom shower system was installed, enabling the homeowners to use multiple fixtures at once. 4. A new, soaker tub replaced the old carpeted, jetted tub. The new tub faucet is another eyecatching detail. 5. The new 10-foot-long vanity was set between the two windows, providing much needed storage and a makeup area. 6. The finishes combine the traditional feeling of their home with the glitzy and elegant touches the homeowners had dreamed of for years.

Before Background info: This 1980s master bathroom on Geist Reservoir, in the Feather Cove neighborhood, was in desperate need of an update! Even with multiple windows, a skylight and a vaulted ceiling, it felt too dark and cramped, with a wall separating the small shower and toilet from the rest of the space.

BEFORE PROBLEMS: The existing space had a dysfunctional vanity, carpeted tub, cramped shower and outdated finishes. Simply, by removing the wall separating the shower and toilet from the rest of the space, we were able to overcome the challenges the homeowners faced.

Budapest, a city on the Danube Commentary by Don Knebel Presumably because Hungary does not figure much into U.S. political or religious history, far fewer Americans visit BudaTRAVEL pest than London, Paris or Rome. That is unfortunate. Budapest is one of the world’s great cities, with magnificent buildings, beautiful settings and its own impressive history. Budapest was formed in 1873 by the merger of Buda, a city on hills west of the Danube River, and Pest, a city on the flat areas east of the river. The cities were joined physically in 1849 by the “Chain Bridge,â€? a large suspension bridge completed 24 years before the Brooklyn Bridge. Even before their official merger, the cities jointly served as co-capital of AustriaHungary, a powerful empire that existed from 1867 to 1918. During the height of the Empire, the Hungarian Parliament Building was constructed along the Danube on the Pest side. The river front façade of this elaborate Gothic Revival style building is six feet wider than that of London’s Palace of Westminster, whose design inspired it. Today, Budapest’s

parliament building is the world’s third largest. Budapest also includes what is said to be the world’s second largest synagogue, completed in 1859 in a Moorish style reflecting the good relationship between Budapest’s Jews and Muslims when the city was controlled by the Islamic Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries. Picturesque Castle Hill, across the Danube from the parliament building, includes the imposing Buda Castle and the 14th century Matthias Church. The church held the coronation of Charles IV of Hungary, the last ruler of Austria-Hungary, who renounced the Empire after its defeat in World War I. Today the church roof is covered in bright orange Zsolnay tiles, invented in Hungary. In October 2013, readers of CondĂŠ Nast Traveler named Budapest the “world’s top city.â€? It is certainly among them. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column, visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.

DISPATCHES Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join the group for “A Practical Guide to Beautiful Design� at 10:30 a.m. June 21 at the Indiana Design Center. Courtney Casteel of Courtney Casteel Design will present. RSVP via email to concierge@IndianaDesignCenter.com. Prevent bugs in flour – Here’s what to do to keep unwanted guests out of your flours, grains and beans. Place a dried chili pepper (be sure it’s not brittle) or a bay leaf in the container with your dry grains or beans, and you will not be bothered by bugs. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

Keep sugar from clumping – With hot, humid weather approaching, you may notice your sugar clumping up from the extra moisture in the air. To prevent this, place some salt-free saltines or soda crackers in the container with your sugar. Keep them around the outer edges so you don’t get cracker crumbs in the sugar. The crackers will absorb excess moisture and prevent the sugar from clumping. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
