County breaks ground on solar field project By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com On March 12, Hamilton County dignitaries broke ground on the $8 million solar project that will feature 9,300 solar UTILITIES panels on building roofs at the Hamilton County Correctional Campus in Noblesville and on 3 acres on the east side of Ind. 37 near the Correctional Campus. The project is expected to save Hamilton County approximately $25 million in utility expenses over the next 25 years. Currently, utilities are the county’s second-highest expense after employee salaries and benefits, according to Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman. The county pays $1.6 million annually in utility bills for county facilities. The solar project will provide enough energy to power 38 percent of the jail complex and 100 percent of the health services building.
“This project isn’t about the right now, it’s about our future,” Steve Wood, Supt. of Hamilton County Buildings and Grounds, stated in a press release. “This project will produce enough clean power to avoid greenhouse emissions equivalent to 10 million driven car miles. Plus, it will be a great learning tool for thousands of school kids right here in Hamilton County.” Johnson-Melloh Solutions, the project contractor, will provide live web monitoring of the energy being saved by the solar project. The county can share the information with local schools to teach students about energy consumption. Field trips to the solar field also will be available. The project should be complete by late June. The county will make annual payments of $623,000 over 20 years at a 3 percent interest rate. County officials said utility savings generated from the project will pay the capital cost of the project in less than 12 years.
Guerin coach secures 100th win — March 15 marked a milestone for Guerin Catholic High School’s Girls Lacrosse head coach Brian Billand.

In addition to being varsity head coach, Billand serves as director of the Girls and Boys Lacrosse programs at the school. He has more than 30 years of coaching experience at the youth and high school level during his time in Maryland, Georgia and Indiana. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1986 with a B.A. in Economics and earned an MBA from the University of Baltimore in 1992. He also has achieved his US Lacrosse Level 1 coaching certification and is acting treasurer for the Indiana Girls Lacrosse Association. The Indiana Girls Lacrosse Association named him Coach of the Year in 2015. His overall win-loss record is 100-49.

BGCN AUXILIARY HOLDS AUCTION FUNDRAISER (Left) Nancy Krohn browses auction items. The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Ladies Auxiliary held its 32nd annual fundraising auction last month at Harbour Trees Golf Club in Noblesville. Last year, the $133,000 raised from the auction provided playground and kitchen equipment for the new BGCN facility at 1700 Conner St. This year’s auction raised approximately $160,000. Ladies Auxiliary President Melissa Kelley said the group plans to use the money to fund its ongoing support of meals and snacks to club members as well as cultural programming. Kelley said after those commitments are made, remaining funds will help purchase a mini bus for the club. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

More importantly, I opportunities available on social media,” think it’s an overt attempt on the part of the Alexander said. “This is about the use of public property, specifically designated for commissioners to limit the political speech public transportation.” of candidates that they are not supporting.”
The ordinance has been in committee since 2013, Sharp said, so he was concerned why there was a big push for it now. Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said the board received so many complaints from business owners and residents about sign clutter during the 2016 primary election that the issue became a priority. Commissioner Steve Dillinger, who historically discouraged such ordinances, switched positions because he said it is something that needs to be done in the public interest. “I changed my mind basically because of abuse,” Dillinger said. “People just went way, way overboard.” Both commissioners said Sharp’s lawsuit is frivolous and a publicity stunt. They cited Sharp’s approval of a similar ordinance in Carmel during his time as city council president in 2006, which Sharp said was a battle he didn’t think he should fight then. Sharp’s attorney, Tim Stoesz, said the ordinance doesn’t comply with existing Indiana statutes or U.S. Supreme Court case law. Sharp said he wants the judge to remove the ordinance or at least issue a temporary injunction against its implementation.
“My Sinuses Are Bothering Me”
“My sinuses are bothering me”! It is a phrase we hear all the time throughout the year. But what does this actually mean? People use the phrase to mean that they have nasal congestion, facial pressure, nasal drainage, teeth pain, headache, or even fatigue. These symptoms could be a result of actual sinus infections, but also could be from seasonal allergies or structural abnormalities within the nasal cavity, such as a deviated septum. So how do we, as physicians, help identify the cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan for our patients? It always starts with taking a detailed medical history and then performing a careful examination of a patient’s anatomy. A trial of appropriate medications can be followed by allergy testing and/or a CT scan of the sinuses if symptoms persist. Nasal surgery, such as a Septoplasty, can be very helpful when nasal airflow is affected. Sinus surgery becomes an option when a sinus CT scan shows blocked sinuses after medical therapy. Northside ENT, a leading provider of med-
ical services for patients with conditions affecting the Ear, Nose, and Throat since 1977, is pleased to offer a new IN-OFFICE treatment for chronic sinusitis. Balloon Sinuplasty (also known as Balloon Sinus Dilation or “BSD”) can be performed under a local anesthetic in our office in a quiet and comfortable setting. Patients who qualify for the procedure would notice significantly less pain and bleeding and a faster return to normal activity than those who undergo the more traditional sinus surgery in an operating room. Patients followed for 2 years after the procedure have similar outcomes and success when compared to traditional sinus surgery. However since sinus tissue is not actually (Advertisement)
removed, there is minimal bleeding, much less pain, and absolutely no need for packing. Mike Reed underwent Balloon Sinus Dilation earlier this year with Dr. Youkilis and had this to say: “During the procedure, I was fully awake and experienced only very minor discomfort a time or two. Afterwards, I returned home without any real pain and went to work the next day. Since the surgery, I have felt better than I have in years and would recommend the procedure to anyone with chronic sinus issues.” Please contact us for an appointment (or ask your physician to make a referral) if you think you might be suffering from nasal congestion or chronic sinusitis. “Dr. Bob Youkilis is an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician with Northside ENT. He and his partners (Drs. Scott Hackett, Jeff Beach, and Seth Bruggers) are located at 12065 Old Meridian in Carmel, 46032.

McGill recently illustrated a book, “The Owl and The Pussycat Went to Sea,” and her illustrations will be on display at Nickel Plate Arts throughout April. McGill did a similar showcase last year, but this year’s will feature new illustrations and an exhibit where McGill shows the process of illustrating different images and overlaying text to create a scene in the book. “This is a nice, celebratory cap,” she said. “This project has taken two years for me.

my identity, and after working at Nickel Plate for four years, I started realizing I’ve been giving all this great advice to artists, that everybody’s creative and has something to contribute, and it’s worth investing in your dream.” McGill’s book began as a wedding gift for her brother and then grew into what it is today. The books are on a ship from China, and McGill said part of the excitement around the showcase is not knowing when her work will arrive. A few advance copies have been ordered and will be available for the showcase. Two receptions will be held, one from 6 to 9 p.m. April 6 and the other from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 28, both at Nickel Plate Arts, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville. “This has been a really fun journey, and I felt like I needed to demonstrate both my support of Nickel Plate and prove that things I’ve been telling artists actually work,” McGill said.

Local organization returns for service days in sixth year By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Throughout a four-day span in June each year, hundreds of people in red shirts can be seen canvassing the city, completing various service projects. COVER STORY It’s all part of SERVE Noblesville, an annual initiative to help, give back and tidy up the community and surrounding areas. “(SERVE Noblesville) started off as a group called Faith Hope and Love. It was based out of Indianapolis, and their hope was that they would get all the surrounding communities to do a very similar type of format for service projects,” said Patrick Propst, SERVE Noblesville chair and lead pastor at Faith Community Church. Propst “The idea was that the communities involved would do it all on the same week. It was usually at the end of the summer, and we did that for six years from 2008. For us, the timing was bad, so we decided we would still love to do the projects, but earlier in the summer.” From there, the Noblesville-based group set a meeting in 2013 and became SERVE Noblesville. Six years later, the initiative, currently seeking 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, is going strong and is larger than ever. It expects to have more than 750 volunteers complete more
STAPLE PROJECTS New projects are added each year for SERVE Noblesville’s hundreds of volunteers. However, some of the organization’s staple projects include the annual Sidewalk Cleanup for brick sidewalks in Noblesville’s downtown. The annual You Call, We Hall project lets area residents donate unwanted items, which later are organized and resold at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville. Crafts for a Cause also will return in 2018 and serves four to five causes in the community. “We’re based out of Noblesville, but projects and volunteer groups or business partnerships don’t have to come exclusively from Noblesville,” Propst said. “We’ve done Westfield, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta, Clarksville, etc. We have a couple of projects this year that will send us down to Carmel if those work out.”

than 50 service projects in the Noblesville area between June 27-30. “When we started, we were probably doing, at most, 20 projects, and we were probably pulling 200, maybe 300 volunteers,” Propst said. “The last two years we’ve been just under 800 volunteers each year.” SERVE Noblesville is accepting applications for volunteer groups, team leaders and projects through April 7. The group will open registration for individual volunteers in early June. “We have many different activities that require many different skills and different skill levels,” Propst said. “Everyone is welcome. We just say that if you’re under 16, you need a parent with you.” New this year, the service organization will offer half-day volunteer opportunities to volunteer groups that cannot commit to a full day of service, which is typically 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “So, folks can only come out from 9 a.m. to noon, or they can only come out from 1 to 4 p.m.,” Propst said. Applications are being accepted through April 7 for the following team leaders (those willing to lead a group of volunteers on projects), general projects (not related to home repairs), home repairs and construction groups (register your group to serve together), corporate partners (choose one of multiple ways your business can offer support) and
restaurant partners (help provide an on-site lunch each day to volunteers). Applications can be completed at servenoblesville.com under the “How to Serve” tab. When applications are submitted, SERVE Noblesville organizers will follow up with additional questions and next steps. Follow SERVE Noblesville on Facebook for regular updates, or email servenoblesville@gmail.com for more information.
PARTNERSHIPS / BOARD The following organizations and groups hold seats on the SERVE Noblesville board: • Hamilton Area Neighborhood Development (HAND) • Habitat for Humanity • Noblesville Main Street White River Christian Church • Bethel Lutheran Church • Green Valley Church of Christ • Faith Community Church • Million Meal Movement SERVE Noblesville also works each year with businesses that sponsor projects as well as the City of Noblesville’s parks and street departments.

O B S E R V AT I O N Getting prioritized
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker As one of the more glorious characters, if in name only, of famed 16th-century English playwright and wicked-smart social commentator William Shakespeare, Dick the Butcher proclaims in the 1591 play “Henry VI”: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Disputed for years as to whether Mr. Butcher intended to do away with the ilk of those who’d represented his spouse in a contentious divorce proceeding, or if the line, specifically aimed at corrupt barristers, meant to separate the good from the bad, it is clear that a priority order is being proclaimed and that such an order demands a first and definitive step. We humans maintain full and complex lives filled with activities. We survive by adroit management of both the critical and the trivial. The simple choice to stand still at a curb to await the expected passing of a coming city bus, while in itself almost absent-minded, would, if improperly executed, significantly change or even end our lives. If the simple is crucial, could we imagine that the complex is inconsequential? Sure, one must find balance between these priorities. Yet, is equilibrium sufficient? Can we successfully lead our lives absent strict priorities? What comes first, above all others? Then, is there a second? Can the second replace the first – even once or only for a moment? No doubt, some priorities will change with the season as others stand immovable in the stream. Still, are we amply informed about the arrangement of our own primacies? Do we follow a plan? If so, what is our strategy? Is it current? Do we order our day to meet its demands? Or, would it be more honest to admit we react as the world comes at us? Should our priority be getting prioritized? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

READER’S VIEW
Central Time no-brainer?
Editor, Susannah Dillion’s letter to the editor, “Central Time Resolutions,” in the March 13 edition is unfortunately filled with misleading assertions. Ms. Dillion, as president of the Central Time Coalition, suggests that many mental and physical health issues plaguing Hoosiers are directly related to Indiana being in the Eastern Time Zone. Indiana is itself a laboratory to study such claims. Six counties in the northwest corner of the state and six counties in the southwest corner follow Central Time, whereas the remainder of the state follows Eastern Time. If Ms. Dillion’s claims were correct, the physical and mental health of the populations of those in Central Time would reasonably be better than those of us in the rest of the state on Eastern Time. Using information recently released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on county health rankings, I pulled data from the 12 counties in Indiana that follow Central Time. Values from the 12 counties on Central Time as a group varied merely within 2 percent compared to
the state as a whole. From this information, there does not appear to be compelling evidence that moving to Central Time would make Indiana healthier, nor would it improve graduations rates. Therefore, while there may be reasons to consider Central Time, the arguments voiced by Ms. Dillion appear unfounded by actual review of data. Her claim that “statistics” prove her assertions is misguided. Implying that a simple move of the clock to Central Time would remedy these complex issues in Indiana is a miraculous leap of faith. Within our state, there does not appear to be an association between these outcomes and the manner in which we tell time. The time zone debate is likely one based purely on personal preference for more light in the morning versus more light in the evening. I, for one, would dread dusk at 4 p.m. in the winter if the state moved to Central Time. That in of itself could conceivably lead to more depression.

Me last week: Yay! Our oldest is coming home from college! Me today: Yay! Our oldest is going back to college! Am I right? I love my IU HUMOR freshman, but after nine days of G’s non-stop talking and eating, I’m ready for a return to normalcy (history buffs, whose presidential campaign slogan did I just co-opt?). First of all, the foot traffic here has increased tenfold. Our house has become the place to watch basketball, play video games and bake blackberry pies for apparently all spring breakers in the tri-county area. This means additional runs to Meijer for milk, Red Baron pizzas and butter, and an everlasting tower of dishes in the kitchen. Unlike Ike, me no like (boom! I just dropped another iconic election jingle on you!). We’ve also had to manage several fights over the third car. Though technically G’s, our high school juniors have been using it for work and practice. I’ve suddenly been thrust into carpool mode again, forced to orchestrate pick-up and drop-off times and navigate a ridiculous number of roundabouts. Happy days are not here again. Finally, of all ours kids, G talks the most, the loudest and the closest. He loves to sidle his 6-foot-3 frame next to me and discuss politics, sports and his accounting class. Cute, I know, but I’ve gotten use to short texts and the occasional call for money. So yes, I’m thrilled G is going back today. I need to make the remaining Wilson family great again (yep, I went there). Peace out.

It pays to coordinate estate Commentary by Jay Curts Most of us have life insurance, a retirement account and a house. Some of us have a will that we made LEGAL out years ago when we were worried about who would take care of our children if we died. All of us do not have to worry about the first $11.2 million of our estates being taxed by Uncle Sam. However, when was the last time you thought about how your asset ownership, beneficiary designations, wills and trusts coordinate for the benefit of your heirs? An effective method to achieve practical estate asset distribution simplicity is to coordinate the use of asset beneficiary designations with a separate trust agreement. Life insurance and retirement accounts are assets traditionally structured for distribution upon the death of the owner by direct beneficiary designation. These beneficiary designations have priority over any other instruction you may have established in writing in a will or trust. Under Indiana law, every asset is capable of ownership as a transfer on death (TOD)
asset. Real estate, bank accounts, stocks and investment accounts, cars and other tangible assets all may convey a TOD beneficiary designation, allowing the owner to name the beneficiary of each TOD asset separately, if desired. Coordination of a TOD asset designation strategy may be applied to provide both direct and timely financial benefit to your heirs for some assets (for example, life insurance proceeds) and practical administration structure for other assets (for example, your residence) to allow your chosen representative to sell or distribute for your heirs to receive, either outright or in trust. This structure is accomplished by establishing a revocable trust agreement designed to receive title to the owner’s designated TOD assets. Those assets are administered after your death by your chosen trustee.

Understanding carpal tunnel
Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui Carpal tunnel is a problem that typically results in aching, numbness and tingling, generally affecting YOUR HEALTH the hand. Symptoms are typically worse at night and may wake you from your sleep. Driving, typing, reading and holding a telephone often make the symptoms worse. It’s unclear why carpal tunnel syndrome develops. Risk factors such as obesity, female gender, diabetes, thyroid issues and pregnancy can lead to swelling of the median nerve. The anatomy of the wrist resembles a tunnel in which the nerve resides. When the nerve swells, it has nowhere to go, resulting in continual squeezing of the nerve leading to the symptoms mentioned above. Since the nerve is like a wire, the gold standard for its diagnosis involves measuring electrical activity across the nerve at various points using small needles in the arm. This is called an electromyography (EMG) test. Recently, non-invasive tests have been developed using ultrasound to measure the nerve. The main advantage of ultrasound is that it is painless and quick, though its accuracy varies, depending on the person. Traditional non-surgical treatments
include steroid injections, splinting and activity modification. Surgical nerve decompression, the gold standard treatment, involves cutting the ribbon that lies over the top of the tunnel in order to give the nerve more room to swell without being squeezed, thus reducing the symptoms. Recently, a non-surgical treatment alternative was developed. Using ultrasound guidance, a needle is first inserted adjacent to the nerve, and a combination of numbing medicine, normal saline and a small dose of cortisone is injected in order to bathe the nerve and push it away from the needle. Then, using the same poke, the needle is used as a cutting device, passing back and forth through the ribbon. The procedure is done in the office setting, leading to minimal down time. It also has essentially zero scar formation on the skin. A variety of studies show it can have positive results that are comparable to what you may find two years following a surgery. If you’re looking for an alternative to surgery, this may be a good treatment option.

Netolicky’s book details Indiana’s love affair with ABA, Pacers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It started with a little reminiscing about glory days with two old friends. Bob Netolicky, betBASKETBALL ter known as “Neto,” was a member of the Indiana Pacers in their inaugural 1967-68 season in the American Basketball Association. Dick Tinkham was one of the Pacers’ original co-owners and legal counsel for the team. Tinkham served on the merger committee. The ABA folded in 1976 and the Pacers were one of four teams that merged into the NBA. “Dick and I were talking four or five years ago, and a book had come out about the ABA, and he said none of this is right,” said Netolicky, who was a longtime Carmel resident before moving to Noblesville in 2013. “He said it’s all hearsay or thirdperson. He started telling me some stories that I had never heard.” Netolicky, Tinkham and NBC Sports racing reporter Robin Miller have co-authored a recently released book, “We Changed the Game.” One story in particular that Netolicky had never heard was that if the Pacers had lost a seventh game in a first round playoff series against Kentucky in 1969, the team would have folded the next day. Instead, the Pacers won that game and another round to reach the finals and were able to gain more investors. “I was shocked,” Netolicky said. “(Tinkham) kept saying we got to write a book and tell what really happened.” Tinkham said he didn’t want to write a book like all the other ones on the ABA, which he described as long, drawn-out press clippings of games. “He said, ‘Let’s have some fun and tell the real stories,” Netolicky said. “We started with two or three different writers, and it just dawned on me that Robin was with us since Day 1. He started out as a cub reporter with the team in ’69.” As a young reporter at The Indianapolis
Robin Miller, left, and Bob Netolicky co-authored “We Changed the Game” with Dick Tinkham. (Submitted photo)
Star, Miller often traveled with the team and wrote features. Netolicky nicknamed him “Jimmy Olsen” after the young reporter in “Superman.” “So, after about four years, we have a book,” Netolicky said. “It’s a fun read. Dick was worried about stepping on people’s toes, but I said, ‘Dick, everyone is dead.’” There are of course some stories about Bobby “Slick” Leonard, who took over as Pacers coach in the second season and guided them to three ABA championships. Leonard, a Carmel resident, is a longtime Pacers radio broadcaster. Netolicky said Leonard was known for his colorful language. “Even (Pacers owner) Herb Simon said you never walked into the locker room and hear Slick say, ‘Golly, gee whiz,’” Netolicky said.
BOOK SIGNING When: Noon to 2 p.m., March 31 Where: Bruno’s Shoebox, 50 N. 9th St., Noblesville
Among those recommending the book are broadcaster Bob Costas, who started his career broadcasting the Spirits of St. Louis. “There’s something about the ABA, the Coliseum, the red, white and blue ball and how Indianapolis embraced the Pacers,” Miller said. “That was the first team our city ever embraced. People have such a soft spot in their heart for the ABA, especially the Pacers, that it transcends time. From my perspective, it’s a history about how the Pacers claimed the city. The city got its makeover, thanks to the Pacers.” Ten percent of the book’s proceeds benefit the Dropping Dimes Foundation, a nonprofit that assists former ABA players and their families. For more, visit wechangedthegame. com. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and Hilton Publishing (hiltonpub.com). There is a 50-year reunion of ABA players set for April 7 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Costas will be the emcee. For more, visit droppingdimes.org.

‘Eva’ set for world premiere By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis filmmaker Ted Green knew little about Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor before hearing her speak. FILM “A buddy of mine at Butler had been talking to me about Eva for a long time, but I kept blowing him off because I was so wrapped up in my Crispus Attucks (film) project,” Green said. “Finally, this is almost exactly two years ago, he called me and said she was speaking that night at Clowes Hall and he had tickets for me, pretty much demanding I come over. I did, and I daresay, like everyone else who sees Eva speak for the first time, I was instantly mesmerized, but not just by what she was saying; equally so by the hold she had on the crowd. Two thousand people were just staring raptly at this little blue octogenarian in the front of the room. Right then I knew there was something special about her, and I felt this visceral need to tell her story. Two years later, I’m still held rapt by her.” Green and Indianapolis resident Mika Brown, along with WFYI, co-produced the documentary “Eva,” which will make its world premiere at 6:30 p.m. April 5 at Clow-

es Hall in Indianapolis. Kor, 84, and her twin sister, Miriam, who died in 1993, survived Auschwitz and Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele’s human experiments on twins. Green said it’s critical that Kor’s story is shared. “Not simply because of her connection with the Holocaust, which must never be forgotten, but also because she stands as a seminal example of the power a single person can have to make this a better world,” Green said. “I believe that’s what Eva stands for above all. She’s an inspiration, particularly to young people. We very much hope this documentary takes on national and even international legs.”

Hoffmeister said a special event, not part of the series, will be announced for July 19 at a later date. “Living Proof has been here for a number of years and they always draw a large crowd,” Hoffmeister said. “Endless Summer is a band we’ve had before and they’re also very popular. They were here two years ago.”

This is a restaurant that offers a great dining experience in a colorful setting with Japanese decor. What to get: I’ll admit that I wanted to sample everything on the menu, but that wasn’t plausible. So, after the requisite deliberation, I decided on the hibachi shrimp. I also tried the soft shell crab as an appetizer.

The goal for the master bathroom remodel was to get better utilization out of the floorplan, while the goal for the laundry room was to find a solution to gain more space. 1. The largest change in the master bathroom came from removing the existing framed shower and replacing it with a custom tile shower with frameless glass. The shower now appears much larger than it was before and allows for more natural light. 2. New cabinetry was added to the vanity, creating more space for storage. 3. The tub was replaced with a tub that had a much more contemporary design, and the filler was relocated, opening up the deck. 4. Space was taken from the master closet to create a new laundry room on the second level of the home. Cabinetry and space to hang clothing was added above the washer and dryer. 5. Visit our blog for more details.
Background info: This home in Westfield in the Merrimac neighborhood was built in 1999 and had not been updated. The homeowners wanted to make this home a more functional place to raise their young family.
BEFORE PROBLEMS The master bathroom had plenty of space but lacked functional design elements. The space appeared much smaller than it actually was because of the lack of storage and natural lighting. The laundry room was confined to a small space with minimal storage, making laundry difficult for the young parents.

Remembering the agony of Jesus Commentary by Don Knebel Christians visit Jerusalem this time of year to connect with places associated with the Easter story. One TRAVEL such place enshrines a rock claimed to be where Jesus prayed before his death. According to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, after the Last Supper, Jesus went to a place called Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives and prayed that his life be spared if that was God’s will. Without naming the place, the Gospel of Luke says Jesus was in agony while praying before his arrest. Saying nothing about praying, the Gospel of John says Jesus was arrested in a garden. Combining these accounts, Christians believe Jesus prayed in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. No account mentions a rock. Christians have identified various locations on the Mount of Olives as Gethsemane. In the 12th century, Crusaders built a chapel near the foot of the Mount of Olives next to a grove of olive trees they associated with Gethsemane. Some Christians later became convinced that the olive trees existed during the time of Jesus and that Jesus had knelt to pray
Basilica of the Agony in Jerusalem. (Photo by Don Knebel)
on an outcropping of bedrock near the abandoned Crusader chapel. In the 1920s, Franciscans built the neoclassical Basilica of the Agony around the flat rock, which extends above the floor in front of the high altar. The church’s interior is intentionally dark to reflect Jesus’ agony. Twelve small domes are painted blue on their undersides to evoke the night sky under which Jesus prayed. The exterior includes four groups of columns, each topped by the statue of a Gospel writer displaying a verse leading to
beliefs about Gethsemane. A colorful mosaic on the façade above the columns depicts Jesus mediating between God and humanity. Because donations to build the church came from many countries, it is commonly known as the Church of All Nations.
