To our valued readers: Current remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed. As a result, we will continue our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will
continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community. That means, in a fourweek month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail. In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change. It’s starting to appear that we’ll be able to return to weekly circulation at 100

Local church collects disaster relief kits By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis has partnered with Church World Service to promote commuVOLUNTEERING nity involvement in assembling disaster recovery kits that can be issued whenever crises arise. “Our church is very outreach mission-oriented, and this just takes our commitment to the next level in terms of not just people in our congregation creating these kits, but also allowing anyone in central Indiana to help out and participate,” said Celia Booher, Second Presbyterian’s communication coordinator. Second Presbyterian Church will serve as a collection site for the kits. Anyone can col-
lect items for one of the three kit templates, assemble the kits at their convenience and drop off the filled kits at Second Presbyterian Church, 7700 N. Meridian St. Information about what goes into each kit, including shopping lists, can be found at cwskits.org. Second Presbyterian will collect kits until May 29. “We’ve all heard news about a flood or horrific storm and wished we knew how to help those who have been affected,” the Rev. David Berry, associate pastor of mission for Second Presbyterian Church, stated in a media release. “Anyone can assemble clean-up buckets, hygiene kits, or school kits and bring them to the north parking lot at Second. We’ll transport them to the CWS warehouse so they will be ready to deliver if the need arises.”

Cervical cancer survivor stresses importance of routine health screenings Patient describes relationship formed with Ascension St. Vincent care teams as a ‘blessing’ After a visit to the emergency room due to uncontrollable bleeding, Elaine Krieg scheduled a Pap test with her OB-GYN. When the test detected abnormal cells, her doctor did a cervical biopsy. She said she remembers crying and pulling over to the side of the road when her doctor called with her results. “I got the call on a Friday night and my doctor told me that I had cervical cancer,” said Elaine. “I was shocked.” Elaine received chemotherapy and radiation, and has been in remission for two years. She said she has “been blessed” by the relationships she has formed with her care teams at Ascension St. Vincent. “I feel like I have been surrounded by the best medical team possible,” said Elaine. “My doctors and nurses are amazing, and they listen to all of my questions and concerns.” Elaine admits she went several years without having a Pap test, but now she encourages all women to stay up to date on the screenings their doctor recommends.
Michael Callahan, MD, is Elaine’s gynecologic oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent. He said all women are at risk for cervical cancer, but it’s seen most often in women over age 30.
“A Pap smear could save your life. It may feel awkward at times, but it’s better to feel awkward for 10 minutes than go through what I went through.” Elaine Krieg, cervical cancer survivor treated at Ascension St. Vincent
“The human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and various strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer,” said Dr. Callahan. “Getting screened regularly is important, because it may help find cancer early, when it’s most treatable.”
At Ascension St. Vincent, doctors are ready to listen to understand you and your needs as a woman. Gynecologists are available to help determine the screenings that are right for you. Current recommendations for screenings by age include: • 20s - Women should begin getting regular Pap exams. • 30s and 40s - Women should begin getting HPV tests in addition to regular Pap exams. • 50 and older - Women should continue getting regular screenings as recommended by their doctor. With locations throughout Indiana, Ascension St. Vincent makes getting routine screenings as convenient as possible. And if more advanced care is needed, you are connected to a team of specialists ready to help. We are maintaining strict precautions to keep you safe in our care.
Elaine Krieg (right) was often accompanied by her sister and supporter, Kristi Litzsinger (left), when she went in for her chemotherapy treatments .

Ascension St. Vincent announces $325 million expansion news@geistcurrent.com Ascension St. Vincent is investing $325 million to expand the system’s flagship campus at 86th Street in HOSPITAL Indianapolis. As part of the expansion, Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital will move from Township Line Road to the 86th Street Campus and will add 109 private neonatal intensive care unit rooms. With approximately 268,000 square feet of new space, it will allow mothers and babies to be cared for at one location. Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital in Indianapolis is home to the state’s largest NICU and is one of only two Level IV Perinatal Healthcare Centers in Indiana. Connected to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, the new structure will bring together all related departments, including mother/baby care, high-risk OB, labor and delivery, NICU and support and administrative services as well as public spaces. In addition, the health care organization, along with Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, is developing a regional destination for complex neurosurgical care, which will include construction of a new brain and spine hospital. The new hospital will be on
the 86th Street Campus. The investment and partnership is in response to significant growth and demand for dedicated neuroscience clinical spaces, including operating rooms, an intensive care unit and an intensive care step-down unit, according to Ascension St. Vincent, which operates 24 hospitals and a network of affiliated joint ventures, medical practices and clinics serving central and southern Indiana. The new dedicated brain and spine hospital also will include the integration of the Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine research institute and the establishment of a residency/training program. Complex neurosurgical care will complement the existing Level 1 Trauma Center at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, as well as the pediatric neurosurgery program. The investment also includes campus parking infrastructure, with a new and larger garage and additional surface parking. “These exciting projects demonstrate our mission to place our patients, especially those who are poor and vulnerable, at the forefront of our decisions,” said Jonathan Nalli, chief executive officer of Ascension St. Vincent Indiana and ministry market executive for Ascension.

COMEBACK PATIENT OF THE MONTH This is one in a series of case studies of triumph over injury. For previous installments, visit www.methodistsports.com.
BACKGROUND: Klem has always been an active person, enjoying spinning classes, gardening, and spending time with his family. After several months of issues with his shoulder, Klem decided that it was time Klem loves spending to reach out to Methodist Sports Medicine time with his family and schedule an appointment. Due to chronic kidney issues, Klem was not a good candidate for a shoulder replacement, so instead, he decided to take the physical therapy route.
WHY MSM: “The staff at MSM were welcoming and helpful in establishing and exceeding my personal goals,” says Klem.
THE JOURNEY: When Klem arrived at Methodist Sports Medicine – Noblesville, he couldn’t lift his arm past his waist. Klem’s physical therapist, Mike Hornak, eased him in to rehab with goals of improving Klem’s range of motion and strength. Once Klem and Mike spent a few sessions together, they were able to move on to full body and strength conditioning exercises, such as HIIT and weight training. Klem is now able to lift a five pound bar overhead, bench press a 20 pound medicine ball, and has drastically increased his cardiovascular endurance.
Dr. Peter Sallay
“Klem has arrived each day with nothing but a positive attitude and determination,” said Mike. “It truly has been remarkable to witness his progress.” Klem looks forward to growing his vegetable garden and getting back to running around with his two grandsons this summer without pain.
Mike Hornak, PT
THE MSM TEAM: The MSM team included Dr. Peter Sallay, Orthopedic Shoulder Specialist, and Mike Hornak, Physical Therapist.

Fort Ben Cultural Campus promises something for everyone By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Seeking to shed its label as an art desert, especially in comparison to its Hamilton County neighbors, the City of Lawrence looks forward to opening the Fort Ben Cultural Campus, 8920 Otis Ave., Lawrence. “When it is finished, I think it will be a pretty powerful tool to have in our community,” Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier said. “One of the coolest things about the Cultural Campus is that it has things for all ages to experience. I think (Arts for Lawrence Executive Director) Judy Byron and her staff did a great job creating events and creating opportunities for children all the way to adults to have a good experience.” Byron obtained the funds for the project via a $5.85 million Lilly Endowment grant through the Arts for Lawrence. The Cultural Campus is what drew Arts for Lawrence Communications Manager Madison Henderson to apply for the position six months ago. “It’s so awesome to be a part of,” said Henderson, 29, an Elkhart native who lives in Lawrence. “When this job came open, it was the perfect match. I love the idea of bringing people from everywhere, no matter what you have. It’s a free campus that gives access to everyone.” The Cultural Campus was originally scheduled to open May 22, but the grand-opening festival has been moved to June 18 at 4:30 p.m. The grand-opening celebration will span the entire weekend. Organizers will announce details at a later date. Construction delays were part of the reason for pushing back the final unveiling.

RENOVATED THEATER AT THE FORT
Originally built 1929, the Theater at the Fort has been renovated. Original elements, such as the box office structure, have been incorporated with new ones, such as a glass American flag that was designed by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients. Plays and other live shows can be performed on the renovated stage. A screen descends from the ceiling at the front of the stage that Arts for Lawrence will use for Friday night movies during the summer.
MARCHING FOOTSTEPS SIDEWALK
AUGMENTED REALITY
It likely won’t be completed in time for the grand opening, but the campus will eventually include an augmented reality app. Discovered Arts for Lawrence will allow someone to tour the campus virtually or wander the campus and discover certain aspects coming alive. The virtual reality side will feature information about the artists and can be used anywhere. The augmented reality portion is set up as a scavenger hunt.
MUSICAL SWINGS
Popular during their first trip to Lawrence, the musical swings will be a permanent fixture at the Cultural Campus. Designed by Daily Tous Les Jours in Montreal, the musical swings were a traveling installation that has ventured all around the world, but the artist team had been designing a permanent swing set, and now Lawrence has one. Each color represents a different instrument sound and, depending on how fast one swings, the song the swings play changes. When different swings are used simultaneously, the music harmonizes, and when all the swings are used at the same time, an entire piece is played.
DONOR PLAZA
MOTION REFLECTION WALL
As a nod to the military history at Fort Ben, martial music and marching tunes will play as pedestrians walk along the bootprints. The marching tunes will adjust and change depending on the pace that one walks the trail. “If you catch it at certain times during the day, it will play a ‘Reveille,’” Henderson said.
The image inside the frame is made up of hundreds of cells that flip to mirror anyone walking by or standing in front of it. When no one is passing in front of the image, the cells turn into a graph that displays the amount of green energy being used in central Indiana.
At the entry to the Cultural Campus, bricks are laid in honor of the project donors or an idea that the Cultural Campus upholds.. “These are all the people who supported us as benefactors, and in doing so their names will be part of the Cultural Campus forever,” Henderson said.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Heard it all before
Here’s the (vapo) rub
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
If we’ve heard it a million times before, why does it feel like this is the very first time? Sure, sometimes we intentionally pretend not to have any idea what they were saying — even when we knew full well that we weren’t going to do what they asked. Being passive-aggressive is shameful but often very effective. Still, sometimes it really does seem like they are communicating a new idea, so why don’t we remember it? Funny how the human mind works — or doesn’t. To each new bit of information there is assigned a priority and a place. Vetted by experience and capacity, we absorb what we deem important and discharge the rest as unnecessary excess. As we grow and accumulate a bit more life from which to draw, we have a different take on what is important. The filter is adjusted. What didn’t matter last year is central to our thinking this year. New is in and old is out. In other cases, we have decided that we never have to worry about Subject A or Topic B because our spouse or colleague or teacher or government or doctor or mom will take care of it for us. We focus our energies elsewhere. Scottish economist/philosopher Adam Smith was right about the efficiencies gained by a division of labor in his pin factory. We don’t need to become a universal expert. But can we claim the same always? Should we listen when we know they will say it again? Should we work when someone else will work for us? Should we learn our mother-in-law’s birthday when we are certain that our spouse already knows it? Should we educate ourselves or let someone else speak for us? It seems like we’ve heard the answer somewhere before but simply can’t recall when or where. Hmm.
I’m obsessed with sleep, as longtime readers can testify. I follow a strict bedtime routine every night that usually has me unconscious by 9 p.m. and have set up my room with all the necessary nocturnal accoutrements, including a sound machine, black-out curtains and a fabulous weighted-blanket with Cool Max technology. Truth: I take my ZZZs seriously. Woe to anyone who interferes with my 8-to-10 hours of restful oblivion. So, what to do when that person is my partner? About once every couple of months, my slumbering husband Doo will emit a powerful stink, almost always after a day of rigorous exercise, garlic-infused dining and over-consumption of wine or rum. The fumes coming from his pores are noxious enough to wake me with a terrible headache. I’m not exaggerating – Doo is literally poisoning me with these impressive odiferous events. Opening the windows does nothing, nor does breathing through my mouth. I even ordered N95 masks pre-COVID-19 in the hopes that like when demolishing a building filled with asbestos, they could help me survive a toxic Doo. No dice. I usually resort to either kicking Doo out or moving to another room myself. But friends, I think I may have finally found a solution to my decade-long sleep/marital dilemma — Vick’s VapoRub, copiously smeared across my upper lip. Brilliant, right? Basically, I’m mimicking coroners when they examine decomposing bodies (or at least how “Silence of the Lambs” portrayed it). And last night, it worked! I was so focused on the menthol that I couldn’t smell Doo. Huzzah! Desperate times call for desperate measures, people. And now I won’t have to woe my husband anymore. Peace out.

Puzzling punctuation situation Commentary by Dick Wolfsie About 10 years ago the comma on my smartphone stopped working. Now almost a decade later the comma HUMOR key is stuck on my desktop computer. Maybe it’s just a cracker crumb lodged in the key. I usually snack when I write my column, but I am proud to say that all the food groups are represented. Where did my comma key go? I had plenty of other punctuation marks — which I really enjoyed using. But I wanted my comma back! Wouldn’t you? Much has been written about how a comma can change the meaning of a sentence. A bestselling book titled “Eats Shoots and Leaves” has a comma after the word “Eats” describing a murderer who pauses for a snack before firing at his intended victim. Without the comma it’s a simple description of the dietary habits of a koala. So where did my comma go? I went to the cellphone store. The sales rep asked, “Is it really that important to have a comma on your phone?”
“Yes it’s important. You can’t write a newspaper column without commas” (as I’m attempting to do now). John was perplexed so he fiddled with the phone. “I can’t find the comma anywhere but I can get you another question mark. Would that help??” “I don’t want any extra punctuation marks. I have enough trouble finishing a sentence the way it is …” “I do admit this is weird Mr. Wolfsie.” “See? You made my point. You just called me weird Mr. Wolfsie.” “No I didn’t. I said this was weird then I paused and then I said Mr. Wolfsie.” I explained one more time that finding the comma was crucial to being precise and avoiding confusion. “When was the last time you remember using a comma on your phone Mr. Wolfsie?” “Well last week I texted my wife a list of things I wanted her to get at the supermarket: hot dogs beans soda apples lettuce potato chips cookies canned soup.” “Did you punctuate that sentence correctly?”

Recognize and prevent a stroke Commentary by Nihal Bakeer Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability and the fifth-leading cause of death in the AWARENESS U.S. With May being Stroke Awareness Month, everyone should learn the signs, symptoms and ways to prevent a dangerous and potentially deadly stroke. Spotting stroke Strokes in children are rare, but they can and do happen. Recognizing strokes in children and adults could save a life. Use the B.E.F.A.S.T. acronym to identify signs of stroke and know when to call 911: • Balance: Is the person losing coordination or balance? Is he or she having trouble walking? • Eyes: Is the person having trouble seeing out of one or both eyes? • Face: If the person feels one side of the face is droopy or numb, ask for a smile. Does one side of the face droop? Is a smile lopsided or uneven? • Arm: If the person says one arm is weak or numb, ask him or her to raise both arms. Does one arm drift down? • Speech: If speech is slurred, ask the
person to repeat a sentence. Are the words slurred? Is the person having trouble getting words out or understanding? • Time to Call 911: If you recognize any of these symptoms, call 911 and get the person to the hospital as soon as possible. Even if the symptoms go away, it is important to get immediate medical attention. Brain cells may be dying! Preventing stroke The American Stroke Association (stroke. org) has a list of risk factors you can control, treat and improve to help reduce your risk for stroke. At the top of the list are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, diet, physical inactivity and obesity. If you check off any of these top contributing stroke risk factors, schedule a physical with your primary health care provider to discuss your concerns and develop a plan for a healthier you. Carmel resident Dr. Nihal Bakeer is a pediatric hematologist-oncologist at the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center in Indianapolis and co-directs the multidisciplinary pediatric and neonatal stroke team at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.
DISPATCHES Healthier bread – Like it or not, bread just isn’t that good for you, especially white bread. Even though whole grain bread is a better option, it is still low in nutrients. Now, though, there is a healthy bread substitute. Called Barely Bread, it’s a soy-, yeast- and gluten-free, paleo-friendly bread substitute that actually tastes a lot like real bread. The texture isn’t identical to regular bread, but it is close. Available online or at Whole Foods, it’s worth trying. Source: MSN.com
Sunscreen tip – Most skin cancers are a result of exposure to UV radiation. UV radiation comes in two forms – UVA and UVB. Sunscreen products list an SPF on the label, but the SPF only refers to protection from UVB rays. Make sure to buy products that are labeled as “broad spectrum” in order to obtain protection from both types of radiation. Source: fda.gov

The Kentucky hug: Bourbon Trail tips Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com COVID-19 put a damper on many things for me, especially travel, and when you’re the kind of person who LIBATIONS is always researching the next destination to visit, remaining stuck at home can be a real bummer. As travel begins to resume, especially stateside, I decided to indulge and take a trip I’ve always wanted to: The Bourbon Trail. There are only 18 distilleries on the true, trademarked Bourbon Trail, but there are dozens throughout Kentucky. I went on the trip with my older brother, Matt Skinner, and we didn’t really follow the rules in that we didn’t stick to only true Bourbon Trail distilleries. We saw three official Bourbon Trail distilleries: Stitzel-Weller in Louisville, which houses Bulleit, Blade and Bow and I.W. Harper; Maker’s Mark in Loretto; and Woodford Reserve in Versailles. However, we went off the beaten path a little and also visited Willet in Bardstown and Castle and Key in Frankfort.
THE BOURBON: Many novice drinkers say they enjoy bourbon, but do they really know what bourbon is? For a whiskey to be bourbon, the mash must be at least 51 percent corn; it must be made in the United States; it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels; the whiskey cannot enter the barrel at higher than 125 proof; and nothing can be added except water, so true bourbon isn’t influenced by any ingredients other than its own mash bill, which is a mix of grains like corn, wheat, rye and barley that are cooked and then fermented to make bourbon. Our first stop was Willet Distillery. I’ll save you all the details about each distillery in hopes that you’ll make the trip to travel the trail yourself. After our 45-minute tour, we tried to find lunch before our next tour at Maker’s Mark and were unsuccessful. This leads me to my biggest piece of advice: You must make reservations. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, every place books up fast. M brother and I had to keep an eye on when reservations opened up and quickly book those
tours weeks in advance because they filled up within minutes of opening. Although we made our tour reservations, we forgot that restaurants would be a similar issue. And you don’t want to be stuck on the Bourbon Trail without sustenance. As we sampled the bourbon, we were taught to breathe in the scent with our mouths slightly open, which lets the alcohol fumes escape so you can actually note the flavors. When we took a sip of neat bourbon and it carved a fiery path down our throats and warmed us from the inside out, we learned that was called “The Kentucky Hug,” which, after a weekend of tasting, we fondly referred to as “The Kentucky Gut Punch.” On Sunday, we visited Woodford Reserve for a guided tasting, then Castle and Key, a new distillery that is still aging its bourbon but offers vodka, gin and rye. Although its bourbon isn’t ready, Castle and Key should top the list of places to go when you’re on the trail. It’s a beautiful distillery housed in an actual castle originally built by Col. Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., also known as E.H. Taylor, another bourbon distiller who then abandon it. Castle and Key purchased the abandoned distillery, then in ruins, in 2014 and refurbished it to be the beauty it is today. We finished our trip at Stitzel-Weller in Louisville. My favorite of all was Maker’s Mark. The campus was beautiful, the lush rolling hills of Kentucky accentuating the trees, which are covered in an eerie black fungus called Baudoinia compniacensis, which feeds on ethanol. The fungus isn’t harmful to humans or animals, but it covers everything from the rickhouses where the whiskey ages to the trees and even cars and houses. One tour guide told us the fungus is how underground distilleries were discovered and bootleggers were charged during Prohibition, which is a neat fact. At Woodford Reserve, the experience included a guided tasting of five of Woodford’s whiskeys, one of which was its traditional bourbon. The others were a cask-strength bourbon, a malted barley whiskey, a rye whiskey and a wheat whiskey. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

ATI founders busy with projects By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Jim Reilly joined Actors Theatre of Indiana approximately 10 years ago, he encouraged the founders, Don THEATER Farrell, Cynthia Collins and Judy Fitzgerald, to explore additional opportunities to perform. “One of the first things I noticed is there is not a lot of money to be made in theater, so you have to maximize your opportunities,” said Reilly, who serves as ATI’s executive director. “They’re all very talented. They all performed in New York and have incredible backgrounds. If they can find work on their own to utilize their talent in other areas, I encouraged them to do it.” Farrell has worked at Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota in the summer or off-season. “I’ve also done a number of shows at Beef & Boards with my friends there,” Farrell said. “I had worked with them years ago before we even started ATI.” Farrell said the opportunity to perform Sinatra shows at Feinstein’s at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel created the need to
form a company, Crossroads Entertainment LLC, so he can pay the musicians who join him. Farrell will perform “All the Way,” a Frank Sinatra tribute show, at 7:30 p.m. May 20. He had a Sinatra show in April and has another set for June 9. ATI is always the primary focus for all three artists. “When we started, no one could do anything else but the company,” Collins said. “We worked so hard. Years later, we started to have some freedom to work at other theater companies.” Collins has acted in various shows at Beef & Boards and Phoenix Theatre. She has done different auditions with different companies. Collins and Fitzgerald have collaborated to form the musical programs for the ATI Drive-In Theatre. There are two more this summer, one on June 18 and another on July 16. Fitzgerald has fewer opportunities because when she isn’t preparing for an ATI show, she devotes time to her daughter, Lizzie Farrell, who is active in two Carmel High School show choirs.

Sydney Kern isn’t acting her age in this show. The 12-year-old Carmel resTHEATER ident is playing kindergartener Junie B. in Christian Youth Theater’s presentation of “Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook.” “It is hard to remember what a kindergartner acts like,” Kern said. “The character has tons of energy and is constantly talking and moving. It’s fun but exhausting at times. She’s a little goofy and obnoxious, and she’s not afraid to be herself. I like her confidence. It’s so fun to be funny.” The eight performances, set for May 2129 at The Cat in Carmel, are sold out but a streaming option is available for $20. There are two casts of 15 students each in the show, which was twice postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was cast in March 2020. “I’m so grateful that CYT kept the cast together and are still going through with it,” Kern said. “I’ve been working on my lines for over a year.”

Booze-e Bundts food truck
price includes installation & warranty
Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Varies weekly. Visit the Booze-e Bundts Facebook page for updated locations. What to get: White chocolate raspberry Bundt cake Price: $7.50 or three for $20 Anna’s take: When I traveled to a Noblesville neighborhood a few weeks ago to try Gocki’s Smokin’ BBQ, imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a food truck selling booze-infused Bundt cakes. The cakes are infused with different alcohol flavors, along with non-alcoholic options. I sampled the almond amaretto, red velvet, Reese’s peanut butter cup and white chocolate raspberry. Yes, I did eat all of the cakes at once, and, no, I did not become inebriated, but you can definitely taste the booze (in a good way).
SKYLINE HONEYLOCUST 10-12’ $450
My favorites were the white chocolate raspberry, infused with Chambord liqueur, and the Reese’s peanut butter cup, infused with peanut butter Skrewball whiskey. Booze-e Bundts also sells cake pops (alcohol-free) with other flavor options on the website, boozeebundts.com.
Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 2 oz. rye, 1 oz. banana-papaya-clove simple syrup, 1 oz. lemon juice, .5 oz. honey shrub, .5 oz. ginger shrub, banana chip Directions: Shake ingredients together, serve in a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a banana chip.

Blueprint for Improvement: Classic kitchen in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene This 2006 home is in Zionsville’s Stonegate neighborhood. The original kitchen and adjoining living room needed functional and aesthetic updates.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • The double ovens and refrigerator were relocated for better access. • New cabinets extend to the ceiling for additional storage. The perimeter cabinetry is painted soft white; the island is stained wood. • Two quartz countertops are used on the perimeter and island, which gives the space interest and texture. • The headers and faux columns previously between the kitchen and living room were removed to improve the flow of the space.

A brief history of Chania, Crete Commentary by Don Knebel

Scenes from Chania, Crete. (Photo by Don Knebel)
gained control of Chania after World War I, they converted the mosque into the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. They then added a bell tower to the side of the church opposite the minaret, making St. Nicholas the only church in the world having both a minaret and a bell tower. Chania, with a metropolitan population of about 100,000, is a delightfully walkable city. Be sure to stroll along the breakwater to the lighthouse. Although the recently restored lighthouse is closed, the site
provides a magnificent view of Chania’s Old Town. You can then relax at one of the many outdoor cafes along the waterfront promenade and venture into Old Town’s narrow pedestrian-only streets, featured in the 1964 movie “Zorba the Greek,” which include a variety of interesting shops.

Many people come to Crete, the largest Greek island, to explore the ruins of the Minoan Palace of Knossos, the TRAVEL center of Europe’s oldest civilization. Fewer make their way 90 miles west to Chania, an ancient city on Crete’s northwest coast. Recent excavations have uncovered the remains of a Minoan palace under modern Chania, making it among Europe’s oldest cities. In the four millennia since its founding, a series of empires, beginning with the Greeks and then the Romans, have imposed their religious views on the city’s architecture. For example, the Venetians, who gained control of the city in the late 13th century, built a long breakwater to protect the harbor and erected a lighthouse at the end of the breakwater to warn incoming ships. In 1320, they erected a Dominican monastery. When the Islamic Ottoman Empire defeated the Venetians in 1645, they converted the monastery into a mosque, erecting a 131-foot-tall minaret alongside the building, and later rebuilt the lighthouse to resemble a minaret.

Pauses filled with … embolalia Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt A few years ago, my friend Kristen and I created a podcast called “The Exotic Fruit Review.” In it, we sampled exotic fruits, discussed them and GRAMMAR GUY interviewed people who were leading extraordinary lives. While we enjoyed having a quirky podcast, Kristen and I had to do all the scheduling, producing and editing work ourselves. One of the things that drove me downright batty was editing our episodes. I hated listening to the sound of my own voice. I began to notice a verbal pattern where my voice would get ahead of my brain. While I was thinking of the right words to say, I’d fill the silent voids with a steady cadence of “uhs” and “ums.” There’s a term for filler words and sounds we utter while navigating to the right word or thought: “embolalia” (or “embolololia”). It comes from the Greek compound word “embolos,” a combination of “emballo” (to throw in) and “lalia” (forming language with abnormal or disordered speech). Other terms to describe this type of speech include
“hesitation forms,” “automatic speech” and “formulaic language.” Before you recognize this pattern in yourself and think that you have some kind of worrisome disorder, know that nearly everyone includes some form of embolalia in their speech, whether or not they’re aware of it. Embolalia encompasses all filler words, including “like,” “kind of,” “you know” and “I mean,” as well as non-words, including “um,” “uh,” “er” and “em.” Formal speech courses discourage embolalia so that speakers’ messages get their points across without any communication barriers. In fact, the public speaking organization Toastmasters International refers to embololia words and sounds as “crutch words.” You can even download an app called LikeSo that will tally your overused filler words and train you to drop them from your rhetoric.
