metrics, we’ve determined (that) including the percent change in positivity from week to week introduced too much volatility and wasn’t truly representative of the situation in a county or the true community spread. “For example, a county’s positivity rate could be slightly improved but the rate of spread could still be high based on the number of positive cases per 100,000 individuals or the percent positivity.” Box said the state doesn’t want to want to give a false sense of confidence to counties where the virus is still active by factoring a county’s change in percent positivity, Now, the map is be based on two metrics: A county’s number of new cases per 100,000 residents and its percent positivity rate. But some local health officials question the utility of the map. Boone County Health Dept. Public Health Educator Claire Haughton said the map, which will use data collected by the Indiana State Dept. of Health, would likely be outdated, thus failing to provide an up-to-date snapshot of community spread. Haughton said data collected by the ISDH has consistently reported fewer cases and deaths in Boone County than the Boone County Health Dept. has throughout most of the pandemic, either because of delays in receiving test results, delays in data collection or incomplete data reporting. Haughton said the lagging data the ISDH reports would also create a lagging map of community spread.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual. Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

A new Toastmasters International club has a name befitting its members. Most of the 23 TOASTMASTERS members of White River Word Millers are from Noblesville or the surrounding area, Noblesville resident Clay Hoover said. “Our club was chartered back in June, so we are very new and have not had a face-to-face meeting Hoover since becoming official,” said Hoover, who is the club’s vice president of public relations. “Toastmasters is where all different kinds of people come together to become better speakers and leaders. At a Toastmasters meeting you can expect to learn, practice and grow in your skills.” The team had met earlier in the year in person before the coronavirus pandemic forced the group to go virtual due to social distancing. Hoover said the group is meeting for an hour at 7 p.m. every Thursday on Zoom, so it has people joining using their laptops or phones. “The online meetings have been going very smoothly and everybody seems to enjoy them, though it is a little different,” Hoover said. “We have two speakers that give their prepared speeches, and then we move on to the table-topics portion of the evening where people can volunteer to give a quick impromptu speech if they want. Each meeting has a theme and word of the day that we try to include within all of our speeches, so that is always fun.” Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Through its thousands of member clubs, Toastmasters International offers a program of communication and leadership projects designed to help people learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking.

Family’s Eagle Scout legacy continues to 3rd generation By Emma Uber news@currentnoblesville.com James E., James J. and James G. Arbuckle have more in common than their names. The grandfather, father and son are all Eagle Scouts, the top rank in ACHIEVEMENT Boy Scouts. In July, James G. became a third-generation Eagle Scout as his father, James J., and grandfather, James E., watched as he continued the family legacy.

The Arbuckle family hosted an Eagle Scout Court of Honor at their Carmel home in honor of James G.’s achievement. James G. knew from a young age that he wanted to follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps. The family history in Scouting motivated him to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. “A lot of kids go into Scouting, and they do it for the rank or to have a good time, which is great, but I had something behind me pushing me to make my best effort to

be an Eagle,” James G. said. To earn this rank, James G. earned numerous merit badges, served in various leadership positions and organized a community service project. After consulting the St. Louis de Montfort Catholic School PTO, James G. led his fellow troop members in constructing a gaga ball pit for students. James J. expressed his pride as a father and said becoming an Eagle Scout teaches virtues that have helped him and his father throughout their adult lives.

Now is the time for surgery to help relieve joint pain Total knee replacement puts former nurse back on her feet

ight now, there are many questions surrounding elective surgeries. Is it safe? When can I schedule? Are the risks greater than the reality of continuing to live in pain with less mobility? Those are questions patients should discuss with their doctors. And now is the time to talk with a doctor and schedule the surgery needed to address joint pain. Find out what one patient is thinking about as she looks back on her orthopedic surgery and the positive impact on her life.

Meet Brenda ... Brenda spent her life caring for others as a nurse, and hoped to spend her retirement being an active grandmother and senior. Her knees had different plans for her. “I was having trouble even walking through the grocery store,” Brenda said. “I like to

bike but, starting about six months ago, the chronic pain had just become unbearable.” When Brenda came to an Ascension hospital for care, she was not sure what to expect. “Being a retired nurse who had worked at several hospitals, I know things are not always perfect,” she said. “But the care at the Ascension hospital sure seemed perfect to me — because they were working together. “The caring of all the staff was really phenomenal.” Brenda made the choice to solve her health issues with a total knee replacement surgery, and now she looks forward to living a more active life. “I got serious about finding care — and the rest, as they say, is history.” Hip and knee arthritis are common sources of pain and disability, and they worsen over time. “Early and moderate arthritis is usually well

managed with over-thecounter medicines, light exercise and physical therapy,” said David Graybill, MD, orthopedic surgeon. “When these measures are not adequate and quality of life is significantly affected, total joint replacement can help many patients achieve improved function with less pain. A discussion between a patient and their doctor can help patients determine their options.”

Brenda took the first step to feeling better. Other patients are doing the same. Ascension St. Vincent is fully prepared to provide the back and joint care patients need. The care team’s ongoing commitment is to help keep patients safe while in their care, just as they have always done. Ascension St. Vincent is

currently scheduling surgery, including joint replacement and spine surgeries. They have strict precautions in place in hospitals, ERs, clinics, and facilities for the safety of patients in their care: • Virtual waiting rooms to keep loved ones connected and updated during surgery. • Providing medical-grade masks to all who enter hospitals and ERs. • Screening patients, visitors and staff. • Rigorously and continuously cleaning and disinfecting all areas. • Designating separate care areas for patients with symptoms of COVID-19. • Staggering appointments and maintaining proper social distancing in waiting rooms. • Continuing to wear

appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Ascension St. Vincent also continues to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and adjust its safety practices accordingly. Whatever is holding people back from enjoying their lives and passions to the fullest, scheduling now to get the right joint care can help. Together, patients and their doctors can create a personalized care plan to get on the path to less pain. The first step is to schedule an appointment and learn how to move care forward. Ask if a virtual visit is an option. Find the care you need at ascension.org/indianaortho © Ascension 2020. All rights reserved.

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: Sean Ferbrache is a retired firefighter after working 26 year with the Indianapolis Fire Dept. and after 11 years as a Safety Team Member with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A lifetime of strenuous work and spending long hours standing on his feet, Sean sought relief at Methodist Sports Medicine where he first met Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainer, Sara Myers. Sara worked with Sean for only a short time when she knew he needed to be seen by an MSM Foot & Ankle Specialist, Dr. David Porter. Sean knew he had a challenge ahead of him when he was told that he had chronic ankle instability and impingement of his ankle joint, severe bone spurs and a bone defect. In other words, he needed some new wheels. Dr. Porter performed arthroscopic surgery in December 2018. Now, Sean is loving retired life and enjoying hiking with his wife, hunting, playing tennis and enjoying being a new grandparent.

Sean Ferbrache, retired firefighter & retired IMS safety team member

WHY MSM: “They have the best physicians and rehab facilities,” Sean said. “I liked the fact I could see Dr. Porter and Sara in the same building. Communication was excellent. Sara knew exactly what I was going through before I could even explain it. I felt comfortable with the MSM team. They took the time to listen to my concerns.”

THE JOURNEY: “I had the opportunity to guide Sean through his rehabilitation, during the recovery process, following his ankle surgery. We always want to see our patients get back to whatever it is they love,” Myers said. “We set a goal of getting back to working on the racetrack that involved rapid response times and some crazy inclines! He also worked hard to get Sara Myers back to hiking with his wife, tennis and hunting. When he reached every goal, it was a testament to his hard work, and I love knowing that he just finished a 12-mile hike with his wife!” – Sara Myers, Certified Athletic Trainer at Methodist Sports Medicine

Dr. Porter

“Sean is a testimony to the hard work and determination necessary to return to the quality of life enabling him to fulfill his passion.” – Dr. Porter THE MSM EXPERIENCE: “The team at MSM can get you back to what you love doing, regardless of your activity,” Sean said.” Those who read this and who are experiencing pain and discomfort, you don’t have to take the journey alone. (MSM) truly understands what you are going through and will take the journey with you each step of the way.”

One of the dogs still up for adoption at HSHC is Taylor, who requires regular breathing treatments. HSHC will provide the equipment necessary to anyone who adopts Taylor. (Submitted photo)

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens sent out a plea for donations Aug. 20 after a rough year of fundraising due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the HSHC’s largest fundraisers, “Wine, Wags & Whiskers,” was postponed from May to September and then canceled. Another major fundraiser, a 5K run and walk called Woofstock, recently was held in Fishers Aug. 29 but with limited capacity. A third fundraiser, Tinsel & Tails, is still on for Nov. 19. “Obviously with COVID and the impact it has had on events, that’s been really difficult for us because our fundraising strategy depends greatly on major fundraising events,” Stevens said. “When all of this hit, we canceled the May event and postponed it until Sept. 18 and hoped COVID would pass. Nobody really knew what to expect, and unfortunately, it has not (passed).” Because Wine, Wags & Whiskers is a wine-tasting event with attendees mingling and moving freely throughout the venue, Stevens said she and her team thought they wouldn’t be able to conduct the fundraiser safely. Canceling Wine, Wags & Whiskers resulted in a net loss of $102,000 for the HSHC. In addition to the three major fundraisers each year, the HSHC also operates the Trends for Tails resale shop in Noblesville, which will permanently close Sept. 25. “It’s such a great little shop.

It’s $50,000 to $60,000 a year (in) net revenue,” Stevens said. “We had to close it down for March and April, and we opened early May with limited capacity, but we just were not seeing the traffic necessary to keep a small operation like that alive. We held on through the end of July, but in looking at the numbers, we should have been net positive $18,000, and we are at a net negative of $35,000. We were not going to get out of that hole any time soon and, as a nonprofit, you can’t carry or sustain that kind of loss.” The HSHC also saw many of its corporate sponsors not HSHC Executive DIrector Rebecca Stevens speaks during the renew their sponsorships beAug. 29 Woofstock event.

ADOPTIONS, FOSTERS ON THE RISE During the March and April lockdown, many people adopted pets for company. The Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the organization’s adoption and foster rates have been extraordinary. “That’s the other interesting side to COVID,” Stevens said. “All throughout the country, animal shelters are emptying out with the phenomenon of people wanting a pet because they’re home on quarantine. We saw the same kind of community support, but we made the decision to not do outright adoptions through (the quarantine) simply because we understand that the motivator is that folks are on quarantine at home and the idea, of course, is this is temporary.” Instead of adoptions, the HSHC offered pets on a foster basis, and the shelter was nearly emptied. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Stevens said. “We had a handful of dogs and cats still left in March. We felt it was important to have them do a foster first to try this out and make sure it was a good fit and that this was a lifetime commitment.” Many of the fosters did turn into adoptions. From January 2019 to August 2019, there were 541 dog adoptions and 683 cat adoptions. From January 2020 to August 2020, there were 458 dog adoptions, 836 cat adoptions and two bird adoptions. From January 2019 to August 2019, there were 215 dog fosters and 415 cat fosters. From January 2020 to August 2020, there were 303 dog fosters and 604 cat fosters.

ESSAY

LETTER

Sales pitch

Alternate avenues for protesting

Commentary by Terry Anker “How can I have any confidence in your polls since you missed so far the last time I trusted you?” demanded the churlish evening newscaster. She had a good point. Those who are tasked with prognosticating our future based upon a series of questions to random humans tend to speak with what can only be described as “high confidence” in their own ability and methodology. Perhaps being self-possessed with certainty is a requirement to getting other people to listen. And getting other people to listen, it seems increasingly so these days, is the way to make money. “Well,” retorted the rather portly and now visibly perspiring guest, “this time we have heavily over-weighted for the straight white male.” Other than following up with the expected “what does that mean?” the interviewer simply smiled a knowing smile, looked directly into the camera with a near wink and went to commercial. It seemed that the magic formula had been perfected and that the next round of alchemy would indeed produce gold from lead. As business leaders, consumers and voters, we are routinely subjected to the predictions of these surveys. They determine the aroma of detergent, how long (and if) the Shamrock Shake will be available and the priority of many political agendas. It prevents us from making giant investments for something our customers don’t want. But too often, these prophecies are way off. New Coke comes to mind. Still, they generally work. The art, it appears, is using good math to get good samples, hope that good luck shows up and exude strong confidence — a good deal of it — that anyone can really expect to know the future. But what happens when our well-intentioned, if not deserved, confidence leads to smugness and blinding hubris? Can we believe our own sales pitch?

Unleashing the poet within Commentary by Danielle Wilson Step aside, Shel Silverstein! There’s a new poet on the block, and she is me! Or rather, my 8-yearHUMOR old self. While rummaging through an old scrapbook recently, I discovered a newspaper cutout from 1980. A poem called “Silly Rules” by yours truly, which I will now share, in its entirety, with you, my adoring public: Do not jump on the beds, dad said, Do not jump on your sister’s doll’s head. Do not put your pen in the Jell-O, Do not hit you sister with a pillow. Do not go to school without your books, Do not go fishing without your hooks. Do not jump on muddy chairs, Do not talk to bearded bears. Honestly, I’m pretty impressed. The cadence feels a bit forced in my discerning opinion, and I committed the literary crime of unnecessarily repeating a word with “sister,” the horror. But the creativity? Well done, little Danielle! Pens in Jell-O? Bearded

bears? That’s imagination, people. Is it any wonder, then, that some 40 years later I’ve become a global phenomenon? (If by “global,” I mean the Indy suburbs, and “phenom,” the three bimonthly hate mails I receive). The brilliance has been within me since second grade, just waiting for the new millennium to be unleashed again on the world. You’re welcome. And I suppose I should thank you, too, for allowing me to unburden my talent each week. My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there. Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things. Step aside, Shel Silverstein. Peace out.

My already large head can inflate even further with the amount of awesomeness floating around up there. Of course, now that I’ve recalled my poetry skills, I might have to move on to bigger and better things.

Editor, It is past time for serious, nonviolent, demonstrating protestors to find other ways to express their views. To be properly heard and listened to, they must disassociate themselves from the violent extremists that have hijacked their method and messages. These rebellious hoodlums produce an anarchy with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the peaceful society brave soldiers have fought and died for, and which God has so greatly blessed. Protesting has been given a bad name by those who abuse it. Alternate avenues are readily available and can have a great effect in bringing about reasonable change. It is so easy to email the President of the United States, our state’s two senators and the representative from your district. Call local or Washington, D.C., offices. Write a note to the chief of police, or the mayor, or a letter-to-the-editor of Current Publishing. Use social media in a responsible way. Get those who believe as you do to follow your example. Hundreds or thousands of letters and phone calls will have a great impact. And teach your children respect for the law, and the men and women in blue charged with upholding it. Gordon B. Rose, Fishers

POLICIES Letters to the editor: Current Publishing will consider verifiable letters of up to 150 words. Letters must be thoroughly vetted prior to submission. Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content. Current also retains the right to edit letters, but not their intent. Send letters to info@youarecurrent.com. Writers must include a hometown and a daytime phone number for verification. Guest columns: The policy for guest columns is the same as the aforementioned, but the allowable length is 240 words. Guest columns should address the whole of Current’s readership, not simply specialinterest groups, and may not in any way contain a commercial message.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I haven’t worn a tie in years — with one exception. I always wore one to the Unitarian Universalist Church on SunHUMOR day. That is, before we started Zooming our services. The ties were from my special collection of neckwear to honor legendary comedic heroes I admire. I’ve combed Amazon, searched eBay and Googled just about every name in hopes of finding some new ones. Meanwhile, here’s a look at a few faces in my collection. Buster Keaton My favorite silent screen star. He wasn’t just silent, but expressionless. It’s not easy to be a comedy legend that way. Never watched one of his films? What else have you got to do this week? Watch “The General” first (it’s not about a general). Laurel and Hardy Here’s the test of great comedy. I have seen many of their films, multiple times. I know exactly what is going to happen and I laugh before it happens. Watch as Stan in “Way Out West” gets into a giggling fit while an unscrupulous woman is trying to get a deed from his pocket. I giggle with him every time. The Three Stooges If you are female, you will probably hate this tie. But if you are one the few women who love the Three Stooges, where were you when I was looking for a wife? George Burns Gracie was the funny one, but George Burns was the ultimate straight man. “Where did you get those flowers, Gracie?” “Well, Mrs. Pincheon is in the hospital and you told me to take her flowers. I just got back from visiting her and I took them.” Jack Benny He seldom made a joke himself, but the people around him — like his wife, Mary

Livingston, and his valet, Rochester — skewered the daylights out of him. Truth is, neither George Burns nor Jack got many laughs themselves; they left that reward to others. Charlie Chaplin Chaplin was proof that silence is golden. On my Facebook page, there’s a photo showing this tie right in the middle of my collection. Chaplin was not my favorite comic legend, but it’s my favorite tie because it matches more shirts. Lucille Ball This one features her in the episode where she is doing a TV spot for a nutritional elixir called “Vitameatavegamin” that contains 23 percent alcohol. It’s 100 percent funny. W.C. Fields You know how unfair rumors can be. You’ve probably heard he didn’t like kids, he drank too much and was a womanizer. Oh, wait, those were all true. Abbott and Costello “Who’s On First?” is the classic comedy bit of all time. It wasn’t actually created by the iconic duo, but they revived and finetuned it from an old Vaudeville bit. I’ve listened to it a thousand times. I’ve even tried to do the routine with my friend (and former student) Peter Spellos. We know the words — we just don’t have the melody. My wife hopes we will be back in church soon, so I have a place to wear my ties. It’s bad enough Mary Ellen must wake up next to me, but no woman should have to see Moe, Larry and Curly when she first opens her eyes.

Consider laser therapy for pain Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan When a physical condition or injury affects mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: A rapid return to everyday activities. At Westfield Foot and Ankle, RECOVERY we are committed to providing the latest medical developments and technological advances in medicine to give our patients the best care. One of the many ways we provide this quality care is by being the only podiatry practice in Hamilton County to offer FDAcleared MLS (Multiwaved Locked System) Laser Therapy to our patients. Laser therapy has been used effectively for many years, but advances in technology have produced “the next generation of laser therapy” with the new MLS Therapy Laser. This advanced laser technology works to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation in the body in a safe, painless and noninvasive way. There are no known side effects, and it is quick and convenient. The MLS Laser uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. It treats the conditions by penetrating deep into the tissue to stimulate

regeneration at the cellular level without the potential for thermal injuries that other lasers can inflict. Treatment is usually 10 to 15 minutes. The typical course of treatment is six to 12 sessions, depending on the nature of the condition being treated. With MLS Laser Therapy, we can offer relief without the use of painful injections, potentially habit-forming drugs or surgery to those suffering with both chronic and acute ailments such as: • Plantar fasciitis • Achilles injuries • Arthritis and bursitis • Tendonitis • Neuromas • Peripheral neuropathy • Post-surgical sites • Fractures To learn more about MLS Laser Therapy, visit our website at westfieldfoot.com or call our office at 317-896-6655.

Master distiller visits Big Woods Hazel Dell By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

Welcome, Andrew Malin, MD Riverview Health Physicians Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is pleased to welcome Andrew Malin, MD. Dr. Malin is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and Harvard Medical School. He is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and fellowship-trained in the treatment of hip and knee arthritis. Dr. Malin’s specialties include minimally invasive anterior hip replacement, full and partial knee replacement, hip and knee revision surgery and arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder.

Hard Truth Distilling Co., a brand of Big Woods Restaurant Group, recently launched its first whiskey product, WHISKEY Hard Truth Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Master distiller Bryan Smith recently visited Big Woods Hazel Dell in Noblesville to sign bottles and speak about the product. “We started making whiskey in 2018, and we had to have a lot of patience waiting for the whiskey to develop,” Smith said. “We developed seven other products (including) vodka, gin, rum, and what we found was all the customers and retail partners were getting impatient for us to release a whiskey.” Hard Truth Distilling Co. is based in Nashville, Ind. As Smith developed Hard Truth’s own product, he offered Lawrenceburg’s MGP of Indiana whiskey for Big Woods’ customers. “We wanted to inject some of our own DNA into the project, and I had some full rum barrels emptying, so we aged this in rum barrels for eight weeks and it added this nice molasses and rum, sticky toffee flavors to accent the bourbon,” Smith said. “Fast-forward to this spring, the fans were screaming at us for a bourbon, so I wanted to take that to market.” Hard Truth Distilling Co. then released 800 cases of its own 4-year-old product and called it Hard Truth Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The name is in honor of Brown County’s first distiller, Henry A. Sipes. The bourbon is available at various Big Woods locations as well as retailers. It sells for $57.95 a bottle. The bourbon has notes of pecan, caramel and sweet cream, ripe

Fishers filmmaker Query seeks to make first feature-length film By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The audience was left wanting more after seeing Dylan Query’s short film, “Cold Creek.” FILM The Fishers resident is happy to oblige. “After the crucial reception we got from our short film, we decided to make it our pilot,” he said. “We are continuing the story from the short film.” Query has a GofFundMe page to produce his first feature-length film called “Cold Cross.” “Cold Creek” was written by Query and his friend Jacob Stieneker, who stars in the short film. Query and Stieneker are graduates of Pike Central High School in Petersburg. Query, who graduated from Ball State University in December 2019, majored in telecommunications and minored in entrepreneurship and digital media storytelling. Query works as a digital media specialist at Alegion in Carmel and owns Query Productions, which films weddings, events and films. When creating a short film called “ReTnE” while at Ball State, Query put out a casting call on Facebook. “Jacob responded and said he was interested in acting in it,” Query said. “This was his first involvement in being in any kind of film production. We submitted it to Ball State’s Frog Baby Festival, and we ended up winning three awards at the festival. That whole experience inspired Jacob.” A couple of months later, Stieneker told Query he had an idea for a Western and asked if he would be interested in making it. “I realized I wanted to encourage his newfound passion,” Query said. “We ended up making ‘Cold Creek,’ and that was kind of my swan song for being at Ball State.” The film, directed by Query, revolves around William McCarthy, played by Stieneker, who returns years later to seek revenge on the sheriff for the murder of his parents.

“Cold Creek” received thousands of views on Facebook and was chosen for several film festivals. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, several festivals have been postponed or canceled. “Cold Creek” won Best Short Film at Popcon’s inaugural International Film Festival in Indianapolis. It also was accepted in the recent Hoosier Films Festival in Bloomington, which was conducted virtually. The film also won Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography. Query said they are still working on a script for a full-length version. “While we are writing the script, we are fundraising for the product itself,” he said. “Our goal is to actually start filming this fall.” As of Sept. 1, nearly half of the $10,000 goal has been raised. The money raised will be specifically used for talent, props and location rentals. “We want to invest in local talent,” Query said. “We want to rent local venues to film. With my production company, I have all the gear I need to do this.”

Since the pandemic started, more actors and actresses are looking for opportunities. Query’s goal is to succeed as a filmmaker while staying in Indiana. “Indiana has tried to pass a film incentive bill on several occasions. Unfortunately, it hasn’t passed yet,” he said. “I’m not entirely sure had it been passed (that) it was the right time for Indiana. If you look at the other states that are getting popular with filmmaking, Georgia, for instance, since 2012, their filmmaking has grown exponentially, creating thousands and thousands of jobs. Before the big boom, Georgia started investing in filmmaker infrastructure. They started investing in production studios and sound stages. They started to build the solid base and then came the film incentive bill. It was a good, well-thought out process.” Query said the next film bill should play to Indiana’s strengths.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern living in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The built-ins were replaced with floating acrylic laminate cabinetry and custom-made floating poplar shelves. The cabinets are topped with quartz. 2. The fireplace is now the star of the room, covered in a beautiful tile that mimics burnished steel. The firebox was converted from woodburning to gas. 3. The hearth was designed with a recessed space to accommodate the television. 4. Luxury vinyl flooring provides clean lines and unparalleled durability.

THE CHALLENGE This 1977 home is in Zionsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colony Woods neighborhood. The homeowners wanted to update the family room fireplace and surrounding built-ins with a clean, modern style.

Prague’s Charles Bridge and replica statue of John of Nepomuk. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Crossing Prague’s Charles Bridge Commentary by Don Knebel A 600-year-old bridge in Prague, Czech Republic, is often considered the most beautiful bridge in Europe. A TRAVEL famous statue remembers a grim part of its history. Prague lies along the 267-mile-long Vltava River that runs north and south through central Europe. By the Middle Ages, Prague had become the capital of Bohemia and an important trading city, with a fording site on the river. In 1170, the king of Bohemia built a bridge at the fording site, which was destroyed by a flood in 1342. In 1355, Charles IV became Holy Roman Emperor, determined to make his native Prague the most important city in the Empire. In 1357, he began building a new bridge across the Vltava, linking Prague Castle with Old Town. When completed in 1402, the bridge, later named Charles Bridge, was 1,693 feet long and 33 feet wide, supported on 16 sandstone arches. Traffic entered the bridge though massive Gothic towers. In 1393, a cleric named John of Nepomuk became involved in a bitter religious dispute

with Wenceslaus IV, the king of Bohemia. When John refused to back down, Wenceslaus ordered him tortured and thrown from the incomplete Charles Bridge into the river, where he drowned. John was buried in the Prague Cathedral and became the patron saint of Bohemia. In March 1683, on what was incorrectly thought to be the 300th anniversary of St. John’s death, a bronze statue of him was erected along the south side of the Charles Bridge, his head surrounded by five stars. During the following century, 29 more statues of saints were erected along the bridge. Following reconstruction of the Charles Bridge in the 1970s, all but pedestrian traffic was banned. For good luck, many crossing the bridge touch it just below the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, now a replica of the original.
