HSHC presents proposal to council
Celebration of Diversity lecture series — Sociopolitical comedian W. Kamau Bell will give a lecture entitled “Ending Racism in An Hour” at 7:30 p.m. March 27 in Clowes Memorial Hall. Admission is free, but tickets are required and can be obtained at ButlerArtsCenter.org or by calling 800-982-2787.
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 the organization’s first reading to the city council. HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens made a presentation, and she said since 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 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 Rd. from agricultural to commercial to allow for the facility. 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 councilor Cecilia Coble asking if there were signatures from neighbors near the site. Another question from the council was for the petitioner to discover the cost of transporting the animals, if there was one, from the current location to the new site if approved.

Fishers City Council members heard Portillo’s Hot Dogs first reading proposal Feb. 20 at the council meeting. development The Chicago-based company presented for a rezone to allow for a Portillo’s Hot Dogs to be built at the southwest corner of USA Parkway and 116th Street and just north of the IKEA currently under construction. This would put the restaurant directly across from the TopGolf development. According to the petitioner’s packet on the city council agenda, the proposal includes 3.7 acres, with a masonry building, covered outdoor dining, a drive-thru lane, landscaping and a trash enclosure that matches the exterior of the building. The information accessible through the city council agenda at fishers.in.us also states that the proposed Portillo’s of Fishers will invest $3.2 million on the building, not including site work. Sales are approximated at $4-$6 million. Employment opportunities for Fishers residents and goods suppliers in the area also will be available. As of press time, the plan was for Portillo’s Hot Dogs to begin construction this spring with an

opening in the fall. “Portillo’s is opening in an exciting, growing area of Fishers that's quickly becoming an experiential destination with The Yard, IKEA, and Top Golf,” Mayor Scott Fadness stated in an email. “The buzz that it's created is exciting, and we know it's a very popular culinary amenity for our residents.” Council members did not vote on the item, but they did express minor concerns about enhancing architectural details because Portillo’s would be placed at one of the major gateways to the city.

MVHS project results in water bottle filling stations By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com A group of students at Mt. Vernon High School is making a difference encouraging their peers to drink more water. school Last semester, in a partnership with Hancock County Regional Hospital, students in the high school’s Developmental Reading 2 class began a project researching water usage at the high school, where they focused on water bottle refilling stations. Now, the group Green Machine will be responsible for the installation of five filling stations to be available to students in the future. All filling stations will be installed with retrofit kits that transform an existing, standard water fountain into a filling station. As a part of Green Machine’s research, students found via survey that approximately 50 percent of their peers said they would be willing to purchase a water bottle for $5, provided by Hancock Regional, to utilize the filling stations. After a presentation by Green Machine to Hancock Regional, Jenn Cox, the hospital’s marketing director, stated, “Your class is ahead of the curve. Drinking more water is just one component of our (Healthy 365) initiative. Hancock Regional Hospital is proud to partner with Mt. Vernon to provide water bottles for the youth of the community.” “It’s been my pleasure leading and guiding this group of students through this projectbased learning,” said Cindy Smith, teacher of the Developmental Reading 2 class. “It’s a beautiful thing when you can see students learning and growing right before your eyes.”

Although the Developmental Reading 2 class is no longer in session, the district said the Green Machine club has continued into this semester. “This new, healthy initiatives club will have a broad reach of motivating students to become more healthy, beginning with drinking more water,” the district stated in a press release.

Trafficking event to raise awareness By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal industry in the world, according to the Indiana Attorney General’s event Office. A local event plans to raise awareness and prevent the crimes from happening. The fourth annual Hope for Human Trafficking event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 4 at Christ the Savior Lutheran Church in Fishers. The event was creBaney ated by Lauren Baney when she was a student at Ball State University. “My freshman year at Ball State, I was invited to hear a speaker. It was someone from the International Justice Mission talking about human trafficking,” Baney said. “I was unbelievably shocked. I had never heard of it. That summer I worked at a summer camp where I was working with girls ages 12-14, which is the same average age of human trafficking victims here in the United States. I felt like it was no coincidence. I felt like this was something I was being called to do.” She began researching to learn as much as possible about the issue. “As I started looking more into the issue, I wanted to do something in Hamilton County. We tend to be in a little bit of our own bubble sometimes," she said. "We sometimes see this as an issue that doesn't affect us." The event includes live music all day with hourly breakout educational seminars. “People are encouraged to come for the whole day, but we want to meet people where they're at right now,” Baney said. “Part of the reason we've done so many parts in the event is because we want people to have a choose your own adventure-type experience. They can come and learn about this in a way that will be comfortable for them. The events will change hourly. We'll have a lot of different exhibits.” The event is free and open to anyone 12 years and older. For more, visit christthesaviorlutheranchurch.org.

In an area known as Sugar Grove within the park, guests will learn each step in the syrupmaking process in rounds of free, guided tours that are open to the public. The tour will show how to tap into the trees, then how the sap is boiled down to syrup inside the sugar shack. Traditional and modern equipment and methods used in processing maple syrup will be featured. In the final stops of the tour, guests will learn about the history of the Bray family on the homestead – who owned the land for 160 years and tapped its trees for their personal use – as well as Native American ties to tapping the trees in the Hamilton County area, with a final stop at the Sugar Shop, where maple products will be for sale. Tours will be given approximately once each hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests are encouraged to wear warm clothes and boots and enter the park off of Hinkle Road, parking in the paved parking lot.

Geist’s Elli Baker talks on her careers, time at Indianapolis City Ballet By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Geist resident Elli Baker calls herself a Jane of all trades. In fact, it was the name of her company. In transition to retirement, cover story Baker worked most of her life as an electrician before starting Jane of All Trades, a professional organization service, in 2004, where she specialized in helping people with chronic disorganization, attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactive disorder. But in 2009, after another career turn, she became the director of marketing for the Indianapolis City Ballet. Although she admits she hasn’t always been involved with ballet or a performance art field, she said she was bitten by the dance bug in her early adult life. “It started when I was way back in college in Erie, Pa.,” she said. “We had to take a P.E. class. I could do tennis or ballet, and I thought with tennis I would get sweaty, so I did ballet instead. I never had any aspirations for performing. I was just glad to be able to squeeze into tights and a leotard, but it instilled a love of the art in me at that time.” Although she never pursued dance after that, she became highly involved in the culture, learning about famous performers, the history of ballet and more. Her involvement with ICB began just as the company was getting off the ground after a recommendation from a friend who also was a professional organizer. “I did group sales,” she said. “I concentrated on the dance schools, and we had 800 students that first year.” From there, Baker was hired as the director of marketing. Responsibilities ranged from advertising events to sending out gala invitations to hanging
a part of my heart, because I really like working with the students. Or, when you’re in the theater, just being able to be backstage at Clowes Hall or backstage at the Murat, (they are) pretty exciting times.” Master classes at ICB include 30 students per class and 10 observers. “It’s been really exciting, and I’ve met some really incredible people,” she said.

posters around the city. “It’s all very time-consuming but in strange blocks,” she said. “When it’s just a small organization and not-for-profit, you wear very many hats.” Baker has stepped back from her role as director of marketing but still assists with social media marketing. Now, she’s the master class project coordinator at ICB. “Right now, it’s an easy time for me because we’ve already got all the master classes planned,” Baker said. “I’m involved in making the hotel arrangements, the car arrangements, finding the studios and that kind of thing. We always have to make sure we have an accompanist for all the master classes.” As she looks to retirement, Baker said she doesn’t see herself leaving her role as project coordinator anytime soon. “The really fun part is when you’re in the theater or studio,” she said. “The master classes with kids are particularly
• Residence: Born in Erie, Pa. Moved to Buffalo, N.Y. as a child. Moved back to Erie when she was 16 years old, living there until 1982. She then moved to Ohio, near the Pennsylvania/West Virginia border. She later moved to Indiana when her then-husband took a job in the area in 1988-89. • Family/pets: Two daughters, three dogs. • Education: Graduated from Mercyhurst University in 1972. • Career: Worked as an electrician, became a professional organizer in 2004, which she continued through 2010-11. Began working full time in early 2009 for Indianapolis City Ballet.
master class This year, Indianapolis City Ballet’s master classes will take place once a month through the end of April. The 90-minute class is March 19 – open to 25 dancers and 10 observers – with Martine van Hamel, who studied ballet in Copenhagen, Java, The Hague, Caracas and Toronto. She gained widespread acclaim by winning both The Gold Medal, and the seldom-awarded Prix de Varna at the international ballet competition in 1966. She then went to The National Ballet of Canada and followed that by two decades as a principal dancer with American Ballet
Theatre. From 1992 to 1997, she performed with Nederlands Dans Theatre III and still performs character roles with American Ballet Theatre. A co-founder of Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, van Hamel directs “Extreme Ballet” for ballet students in the summer. She also is on the faculty of The JKO School and Studio Company of American Ballet Theatre. For more, visit indianapoliscityballet.org/ shop/van-hamel-master-class/.

A little rest for the weary
A N O T HER V I EWP 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.

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.

‘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.

‘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.
Two new restaurants 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.

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
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. 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.
