‘Here I am’: Kozicki wanting thoughtful planning, open conversation in mayor’s office By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Last month, attorney and school board member Julia Church Kozicki announced her candidacy for mayor of POLITICS Noblesville. Kozicki, 49, joins Mike Corbett and Chris Jensen in announcing candidacies for the May 7, 2019, Republican primary election. “Our family has always believed in service,” Kozicki said. “My grandparents served in multiple organizations in their communities, and my parents (Kathy and Doug Church) have been very involved in Noblesville. It’s just always been a family value. My kids are Eagle Scouts, so it’s just sort of what we do.” For the past 12 years, Kozicki has served on the Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees. “It’s been an incredible honor to serve on the school board for the past 12 years, but I knew the last time that I ran, because I believe in self-term limiting, I felt that three (terms) was a good number for that,” she said. “I’ve been thinking over the past couple of years, you know, what’s my next step going to be? Noblesville is my home. I brought my husband back (to Noblesville) after school, so it’s just so important to me that we are thoughtful in our direction in where the city is going. We are, have been and will continue to be a growing community, so how we approach that growth in a thoughtful manner is just critical to me. As I continued to think about it and talked to people and pray, here I am.” HER PLATFORM Downtown — “Our focus needs to be on maintaining and enhancing our downtown, which is our core and makes us unique,” Kozicki said. “I grew up two blocks from downtown, so it’s very special to me. The downtown that I walked downtown to on the way to the library, which is now City Hall, is not the downtown that was there when I moved back from school, and it’s not the downtown it is today. Things have changed, and growth has happened and will continue
MEET JULIA CHURCH KOZICKI Julia Church Kozicki graduated from Noblesville High School in 1987 and from Indiana University in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in economics with honors. After that, she graduated from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 1994. Kozicki is a licensed attorney and spent eight years as a law clerk for Federal Judge Allen Sharp. For the past 16 years, she has been general counsel for Sigma Kappa Sorority at its national headquarters in Carmel. In the community, Kozicki is president of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy board. She also is an academy graduate. Kozicki also was president of Tri Kappa and is on the Indiana School Board Association board of directors. She also has chaired the corporate counsel section of the Indiana State Bar Association. Through her school board service, she is on the board of the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation and is on the Youth Sports Association steering committee. She also has served in the PTOs in the schools of her children, from Forest Hill Elementary to Noblesville High School. She is a member of Noblesville First United Methodist Church, where she is in the chancel choir and serves on various committees. In her personal life, Kozicki is married to Jeff Kozicki and has lived in Noblesville to happen, and the question is are we being thoughtful and responsible in those choices to maintain the atmosphere that we have developed?” Workforce development — “We need to look at projects that are going to develop the kind of jobs that our kids want to have,” Kozicki said. “We’ve done a lot of work in Noblesville Schools on preparing our kids for all kinds of (careers), but I think about the kind of work my kids are interested in, and I’m hopeful that there are positions in those areas, but I’m not confident. So, I want to make sure we’re continuing to work across a broad strand of opportunities for everyone. I

In all forms of government there are trade-offs. The supply of money is not endless and people don’t want to pay a zillion dollars in taxes. So, what are the choices we’re making, and how are we choosing to spend our resources and are we spending them wisely?”

Rowland resigns; caucus next By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Councilor Mary Sue Rowland has resigned from her at-large seat on the Noblesville Common Council. Rowland served as CITY COUNCIL Noblesville’s mayor for two non-consecutive terms, from 1988 to 1996. She served on the council for two terms prior to her current term. She was re-elected in 2015, retaking office in 2016. Rowland “This morning (Sept. 17), Councilor Mary Sue Rowland informed me of her intent to resign, effective immediately, from the Noblesville Common Council,” Noblesville Common Council President Chris Jensen said in a statement. “The City of Noblesville owes a debt of gratitude to Mary Sue Rowland. We did not always agree, but I always knew where Mary Sue stood, and I never doubted her love for her city.” A caucus will be held to replace Rowland, whose term was set to end in December 2019. As of press time, Rowland did not give a reason for her resignation. “The Republican Party chairman has 30 days to call a caucus, and because (Rowland) is an at-large member on the council, all precinct committee chairs will vote in the caucus,” Jensen told Current.

Noblesville High School resource officer Matt Johnston is a firm believer in the value of Unified Sports. SPORTS “Unified Sports benefits all that get involved,” Johnston said. “It is a great chance for athletes to be a part of a team and participate at a high level. Friendships form through the involvement of Unified Sports. It gives everyone a chance to play.” Unified Sports pairs athletes, those with intellectual disabilities, with partners, those without intellectual disabilities. Noblesville is one of 25 teams competing in the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s inaugural Flag Football State Tournament. Host Noblesville plays Blackford in the five-team sectional Sept. 29. The winner of that game faces Marion, which received a bye. The winner of that game plays the Fishers-Mississinewa winner for the title. The four regional championship games are set for Oct. 6, with the four-team state finals Oct. 13 at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center, the Indianapolis Colts’ training center. The games feature five players (three
athletes and two partners) on each team. Games are played on a 25-yard by 40-yard field. Johnston was asked by the athletic department if he wanted to be involved with a pilot program, which included teams from Noblesville, Zionsville and Carmel. Scrimmages were played last fall, concluding with a tournament Nov. 17, 2017, at Purdue University. “I have been the assistant Unified track coach and a former head coach for the middle school football program,” Johnston said. “(Athletic Director) Tony Oilar thought I would be a good fit.” Johnston said he has five returning players from that team. Noblesville has 11 players, five athletes and six partners. Blake Buckner said it’s important that he gets a chance to play football for the Millers. “I have some classes with the players on the team, but during practice, we get to have fun,” Buckner said. “I have made good friends.” Miguel Mojica also enjoys all aspects of playing on the team. “I don’t have the same classes as other players, so football helps me interact with other players in the school,” Mojica said. “It’s fun to help each other, and I enjoy playing against other schools.”

Woofstock helps save pets Commentary by Rebecca Stevens On Oct. 6, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will be celebrating our 10thannual Woofstock COMMENTARY Festival and Survivor Program Charity Walk at the newly renovated Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers. Because we serve as both the Humane Society and Animal Control Facility for Hamilton County, we receive some of the most severely neglected, abused and injured animals imaginable. What many don’t know is that we fund 100 percent of all life-saving and emergency medical care for every animal that passes through our doors. It is our Survivor Program that makes this possible. Sparkle, a dog, was abandoned by her owner. By the time someone found her and called the police, she had withered to less than half of what her body weight should have been, and she was in diabetic shock. She spent several days hospitalized, and now she is recovering in a foster home. She’s just one example of thousands who are alive today because of donations made to our Survivor Program and because people like you participate in our single-largest fundraiser for the program — the Woofstock

Father-son duo transforms historic building on Ind. 37 By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com For nearly 80 years, a brick structure has stood north of Noblesville on Ind. 37 at the 256th Street intersection with nothing around it except highway and COVER STORY fields. This week, a father and son duo will launch a business in the familiar local building — the former home of Wheelers truck stop and restaurant — that has been empty since the 1990s. Father J.R. Roudebush and son Nick Roudebush will officially open Mercantile 37 with a grand opening celebration from J.R. Roudebush 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 29 at 25625 Ind. 37, Atlanta, Ind. “We had kind of been working on the project for about a year and started building in December around Christmastime,” Nick said. “The old brick diner building was here, and we added an additional couple of thousand square feet off the back. It’s Nick Roudebush about 50 percent more if you consider the (original) upstairs.” The brick building was constructed in the 1940s by Nick’s wife Emma’s great-great-uncle, Cecil Scott, who called the diner, hotel and truck stop that occupied it Scotty’s. “It was one of the only places to stop between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. It was really popular, and (Ind.) 37 was the main highway,” Nick said. “It was really successful and busy with the diner, truck stop and hotel rooms upstairs. It was kind of a one-stop shop for truckers and tourists. From there, it changed hands a few times. Somebody bought it, it didn’t work. Another person bought it, and it didn’t work. There was a fire in the ’70s. One lady was getting ready to launch (a café) and had the fire. We read an article, and it said the fire was devastating beyond repair, but someone bought it, made it work, and opened it up as Wheelers Café, Wheelers Truck Stop and Wheelers Restaurant. That’s the name that people know. Everyone knows this as Wheelers.” Nick said although he and his wife knew the spot had been in the family, they had no plans to buy or restore the building until recently. “Emma’s family still farms around here, and she grew up in a house right down the road,” he said. “So, we knew it was in the family, but two years ago we had no idea we’d be bringing it back into the family.” Another investor was interested around 2007 and had plans to open a meat market there. “He actually saved the building. He put a roof on it and jacked it up and gutted it,” Nick said. “If he hadn’t done that, it would have been knocked down.” When the Roudebushes bought the property, it was

gutted. Today, the interior walls have been shiplapped or re-bricked. The floors have been ground down to the original terracotta-colored terrazzo, which had previously been covered for decades with tile and other flooring. “We had to do all-new outside infrastructure, too,” Nick said. “That was one of the biggest challenges was fitting all of that. There’s new septic, a new well, new drainage. That was definitely the hardest part.” Nick said the store’s emphasis is on local goods. Most of it is filled with items by Indiana makers and assorted specialty products. “It’s all a mixture of local, vintage and some other stuff we bring in,” he said. “We have 25 local makers right now. It’s all based on quality and trying to fill holes in what we need. We’re pretty selective, and we kind of have a process where we look at people’s followings and their training. We want to be at an artisan level. They don’t need to only be artisans but also need to show that they’re high-quality craftsmen. Dad has a knack for finding neat, vintage stuff.” Nick and J.R., who, before opening Mercantile 37 had a custom-lighting businesses on the side, make all of the interior lighting, which also is for sale. “We started that a couple of years ago. We sold online,” Nick said. “Dad just retired from corporate food sales, and I was working on my wife’s family farm. I also still teach at
Co-owner Nick Roudebush, who owns Mercantile 37 with his dad, J.R. Roudebush, said most people familiar with the spot usually knows it as Wheelers. Neal and Angie Fine will operate the new café, off the southwest side of the original Wheelers. Together, they have worked in the restaurant industry for more than 25 years. Much like the Mercantile 37 store, Wheelers will focus on sourcing local food. The coffee is from Cicero, and ingredients for the rotating menu of sandNeal and Angie Fine. wiches will come from local farms and meat producers. “The café will also be a market,” Nick said. “We’re going to have local veggies from across the street and other food from the area.

ESSAY Tough choices
LETTER Immigration laws badly outdated
Commentary by Terry Anker As youngsters, many of us would lament what it was we might decide to surrender during a religious observation of fast and penance. For some, it was chocolate — milk or candy. For others, it would be the intentional deprivation of a beloved activity. The PlayStation or television would be switched off for a bit. Still, in most cases, our lives functioned largely the same. We tended to replace one indulgence with another. Although one can rightly say that the reminder of the sacrifices that led to the commemoration was present, which is good, in all, we suffered little. In a conversation with a friend who recently found his way out of a rough patch, he lamented that he “could have lost it all.” While compassion led to an empathetic interaction, it begged the question: What really might have been lost? Surely, his was more intense than not being able to have an evening glass of chocolate milk. But can we lose our family? Can we lose our property? Can we lose our health? Can we lose our sanity? Can we lose them all? If the world were so ordered that each hour for 10 days we were required to sacrifice something we hold dear, how would we let them go? Could we? In most instances, we identify our top priorities and claim to stick to them. Still, we spend inordinate amounts of time attending the things that we believe inconsequential. So, if we turned this game on its head and thought about what we would sacrifice if times were truly tough, what would remain after 240 such choices? PlayStation, television, chocolate milk and candy might be easy. But what of the others? Is it more about what remains than what is lost?

Spartan existence Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well, I’ve gone and done it, friends. I’ve committed to a Spartan Race, which, for those of you uncool enough to HUMOR not be in the know, is a military-style obstacle course that hip millennials do for fun. Over the course of 3 miles, would-be Spartans climb, crawl, haul, drag, jog, jump, wade, swear, scream, hyperventilate, overheat and presumably weep, surrounded by smoke, mud, rocks and barbed wire. Hoo-rah! I mention this only because two of my teacher colleagues and I completed our first couple of workouts this past week, and I am on my third day of not being able to walk properly. Descending stairs is literally agony. I can only get off the couch by rolling onto the floor. I considered using a roller to massage my quads but the mere thought of a metal bar touching my sore legs brought me to tears. This begs the question, “Am
I too old for such nonsense or did I just overdo it?” Let’s explore. It might be my age. I’ll be 47 come January and don’t respond to physical exertion the way I once did. Despite decent cardio and a very close relationship with Aleve, my creaky knees and achy muscles persist in their conspiracy to destroy me. But I also may have taken on too much, too soon. I was in great shape earlier this year but then decided on a summer-long fitness sabbatical. Is it really surprising that after running suicides and stadium stairs with intermittent sets of burpees and walking lunges, I am semi-hobbled? I think not. So, we shall see. Spartan Race, here I come. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne
Editor, The letter (to the editor) you published Sept. 11 compares the illegal border crossings to those running from the Holocaust or pre-1865 slavery in the U.S. This, in my opinion, is hyperbolic language, which I believe helps no one, and, for the vast majority of illegals, is inaccurate. Most have simply come to the U.S. looking for a better life. So are tens of thousands of immigrants migrating legally to the U.S. Then the writer wants the families reunited immediately. The facts, as I understand them, include problems identifying a legitimate parent for the children still being detained. Anyone bothering to become informed on this subject recognizes that too often children are handed off to intermediaries who sell parents on their good intentions. This is exactly how children end up in gangs like MS-13 or are sold into the sex slavery trade. I would hope that our customs officials and others involved would take their time and get this right! In fact, I believe we have a moral obligation to do so. Where a parent can be identified, fine, a custody transfer should be done quickly, and I believe that is what has happened. Certainly, this program is far from perfect, and lets be fair, it was law before Trump became president. We need Congress to overhaul immigration laws, which are badly outdated. George Hodgson, Noblesville

170 in IUH’s Day of Service
By Renee Larr • news@currentnoblesville.com
More than 170 volunteers from IU Health North and Saxony hospitals and elsewhere descended on Cool Creek GIVING BACK Park in Westfield Sept. 14 to participate in the 10th annual IU Health Day of Service. The goal is to address obesity by beautifying parks for residents to use. “Our day of service this year really aligns with our healthy weight and nutrition efforts in addressing the community need,” said Alicia Schulhof, president of the IU Health north suburban area. “We know there is a direct tie and correlation that active park users are less likely to be overweight than those who are not. We are try-
ing to make sure we’re making our communities friendly for physical activity and use.” This is the third consecutive year Cool Creek Park was chosen as the site for the Day of Service. Volunteers worked in two shifts to add elements to a nature play area, paint and beautify common areas and shelters and landscape within the park. “I know many of our employees felt like we could build upon the work that was done last year,” Schulhof said. IU Health has partnered with the Hamilton County Parks Dept. for seven years to identify what areas need the most attention. “They said they plan for it and get excited for it each year,” Schulhof said.

Noblesville artist showcases local women By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Lesley Haflich is an accomplished oil painter who rarely creates portraits. But for the better part of a year, EXHIBIT that’s precisely what she’s painted. Her upcoming exhibit at Nickel Plate Arts, “The Women of Noblesville,” is a display of 30 portraits of some of the city’s most prominent women, including business owners, medical professionals, clergy, police detectives, educators, government officials and attorneys. Haflich, a Nickel Plate Arts Campus studio artist, spent nearly a year creating the canvas paintings. “I decided to focus primarily on the women whose roles have allowed them to contribute so much to the growing town,” said Halflich, who has lived in Noblesville for 27 years. “I invited a few women that I knew to pose at my studio for an hour so I could start a loose painting and get to know them a little bit, then I took some photos that I could work from later to ‘get it right.’ “I got more recommendations of who to ask so I could reach my goal of 30 paintings. I have tried to give the women’s faces liveliness with soft, expressive brushstrokes.” Haflich, 62, was inspired to launch the project by Iowa artist Rose Frantzen, who painted more than 100 portraits of citizens in her small town of Maquoketa, Iowa. Haflich decided to do her own take on the concept by showcasing women in Noblesville. The exhibit runs Oct. 3 through Oct. 31, including a special reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 5 in the Stephen House Gallery at Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. 8th St., Noblesville. Each portrait will be accompanied by a short bio. “Noblesville is a town with a lot of history and I wanted to show how many of these women grew up here and decided to stay and give back to the community,” Haflich said. “Many of the women who did not grow up here have decided to make Noblesville their ‘forever home.’ More importantly, though, I want to show that

there are a significant (number) of women in positions where they are really making a difference, and this is just a sampling of the women in our town.” Haflich has been at Nickel Plate Arts for five years. A graduate of Purdue University, she was formerly an art director for an advertising agency, and later for a sign and display company, before concentrating on her art full time in 2006. A mother of three, she is a member of the Hamilton County Art Association and has been an artist member at the CCA Gallery in Carmel, where she regularly sells paintings. In addition, Haflich has chaired the
Noblesville Art Fair for three years, and her paintings can be seen on the walls of businesses, clubs and homes throughout Indiana. Not surprisingly, she looks forward to the launch of “The Women of Noblesville.” “There are many reasons it is special to me,” Haflich said. “I do not really consider myself a portrait painter, so this was quite a stretch to challenge myself to take this on. I learned a lot about technique and composition and how to make the faces believable as I progressed.” For more, visit nickelplatearts.org.

ABA book signing set for Sept. 29 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com You can judge this book by its cover. “The title of the book is, ‘We Changed the Game,’ and we did,” said former BOOK Indiana Pacers player Bob “Neto” Netolicky, a Noblesville resident. “Today’s NBA would not be the way it is if not for the ABA.” The book, which was released earlier this year, was written by Netolicky, Richard Tinkham and Robin Miller. A book signing is set for 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 29 at the American Legion Hall, 852 W. Main St., Carmel. The book is full of stories about the league’s many characters. “Ninety-nine percent of the books out there about the ABA are third-, fourth-, fifth-hand stories,” said Netolicky, an original Pacer who played most of his career with Indiana. “This one kind of nails it. Dick Tinkham helped start the league and was the league lawyer. Robin followed us for three or four years when we started. He was a cub reporter, so he knows the real happenings.” Bob Costas, who was a radio announcer for the ABA’s Spirits of St. Louis, praised the book.

“If you loved the ABA as I did or are simply curious about a fascinating slice of sports history, you will love this book,” Costas said. Ten percent of proceeds from book sales go to the Indianapolis-based Dropping Dimes Foundation that advocates for former ABA players. “Dropping Dimes has taken the lead and is getting involved in our pension fight with the NBA,” Netolicky said. “We’ve got some heavy hitters helping us. We have eight or nine Hall of Famers on the advisory board, guys like George Gervin, Dan Issel and Artis Gilmore. Bob Costas. Reggie Miller is on it and so is Myles Turner.” For more, visit droppingdimes.org.

Art Battle Fortville makes debut By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A Facebook post by an artist friend from Phoenix about attending an event called Art Battle intrigued Libby Wyatt. ART “She went to this really cool event, Art Battle, in Phoenix, so I looked it up and it looked awesome,” said Wyatt, who owns StoreHouse, a home goods store in Fortville. “We’re working really hard to bring the arts to Fortville. I threw it out there (as an idea) to Lacey (Willard), and that’s basically how it got started.” Wyatt, Willard and John Kitterman are founders of Art Battle Fortville. The event, which is making its Indiana debut, features 12 artists going head-to-head during 20-minute rounds of live painting. It is set for 6 to 10 p.m. Sept. 29 on Main Street in Fortville. Proceeds will benefit the opening of a nonprofit art gallery on the first floor of the 100-year-old Carnegie library structure on Main Street. “It’s a pretty vibrant artist scene, and we think Art Battle matches what our community is calling for in terms of art culture and music,” said Willard, a Fortville resident. “Some of the artists we’ve invited are from Fortville, and we reserved a couple for In-

dianapolis artists as well. There are two rounds of six artists each competing in a vote by those in attendance. “It’s all voted on by the attendees,” Willard said. The winners of each round meet in the championship. The winner advances to a regional event. There are then national and international rounds. Willard said each round takes approximately one hour. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free.
IBC’s ‘Pulse’ set for Basile Theatre By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Alyona Yakovleva-Randall would listen to her husband, Daryl Randall, drum for fun around the house. DANCE After a couple years of thinking about it, the Indiana Ballet Conservatory founding artistic director created “Pulse: Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drummer,” which debuted in 2012. “Pulse” will be performed at 7 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Basile Theatre at the Historic Atheneum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis. It hasn’t been performed in full in a few years. The Carmel-based IBC ballet follows the evolutionary progression of a young boy, a percussionist, and a girl, a ballerina, who dream of becoming famous artists. Yakovleva-Randall’s husband, who was a participant in the acclaimed National Association of Music Merchants percussion music show in Chicago, provides the percussion music. “It’s a collaboration of contemporary ballet and percussion, and it’s just that journey on the way to the dream,” YakovlevaRandall said. “My message to the students is to never give up.”

The ballet emphasizes ways in which dance and music are intricately intertwined and the ways art inspires life. IBC Executive Director Jenny Okamoto said by the time of the performance, IBC will have had 6 1/2 weeks to prepare for the show. “The kids have been very busy,” Okamoto said. The message is conveyed through music, dance, voiceovers and a slide show. Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at indianaballetconservatory.org.

TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8660 Purdue Rd., Suite 8666-600, Indianapolis. What to get: Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. Price: $5. Anna’s take: TeeJay’s Sweet Tooth has only been open a month and already customers are photographing the vibrantly colorful ice cream sandwiches and posting them on social media. According to TeeJay’s, the ice cream shop is home to what it calls the only donut ice cream sandwich in Indiana. The sandwich is a sight to behold. Customers can choose two scoops out of 16 flavors to sandwich between halves of a Jack’s glazed donut and top it with one topping. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream and the cookies and cream ice cream with a donut sandwich and topped it with peanut butter crunch cereal. When assembled, the donut/ice cream concoction is heated in a waffle iron-type device for five seconds, which is enough to warm the donut but not melt the ice cream. The mix of flavors and textures from the flaky, sweetened donut glaze to the crunch of the cereal and smoothness of the ice cream tastes heavenly. The delicious behemoth was only $5. The shop offers more than donut sandwiches. I couldn’t help but sample the Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispy sandwich with Blue’s Vanilla and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped with Lucky Charms cereal. It was a delicious, colorful snack. I also tried a scoop each of the Lemoreo

(lemon Oreo) and the Graham Central Station flavors, which are the store’s most popular flavors. TeeJay’s is affordable, and it sources its ice cream from Sundae’s Homemade Ice Cream in Indianapolis. The concoctions are dessert monsters you’d expect to find at a State Fair, and they are worth breaking a diet. In addition to ice cream sandwiches, TeeJay’s sells cones, scoops and floats. Fall flavors will be available soon.

Blueprint for Improvement: Geist master bathroom sanctuary Commentary by Larry Greene
AFTER SOLUTIONS
After
Before
The goal was to create a timeless master bathroom design that maximized the functionality of the space. 1. The biggest change came from removing the large decked tub that took up the outside wall of the bathroom and replacing it with a smaller freestanding tub, making the space appear much more open. 2. After removing the decked tub there was room to make some minor floorplan changes, relocating the single vanity and expanding the shower. 3. The shower expansion included creating a custom-glass enclosed shower with a bench seat and detailed tile work. 4. All cabinetry was updated, and a linen tower was added to create more storage space. 5. The space was finished with wood-look luxury vinyl tile flooring, a perfect material for any bathroom!
Background Info: This early 1990s home in the Admirals Pointe neighborhood of the Geist area is home to a growing family. Overall, the owners were happy with the home but it was in need of a few updates to make it function better for the soon-to-be family of four.
BEFORE PROBLEMS The bathrooms were the first priority for the homeowners. They had plenty of space, but the layout of the master bathroom made the room feel confined. The bathroom had never been updated, so the materials and bulkheads dated the space.

Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Mosque for the King of the World Commentary by Don Knebel Many visitors to India get to New Delhi, its current capital, but never get to nearby Old Delhi, formerly the capital TRAVEL of the powerful Mughal Empire and home to a mosque known for a single hair. In 1628, a Mughal prince killed his royal rivals, crowned himself the fifth Mughal Emperor and gave himself the name Shah Jahan (King of the World). Three years later, Mumtaz, Shah Jahan’s favorite wife, died during the birth of their 14th child and almost immediately he began building her tomb in his capital city of Agra. In 1639, while the Taj Mahal was still unfinished, Shah Jahan moved his capital to a location 130 miles northwest of Agra, where he built a walled city along the Yamuna River named Shahjahanabad (Shah Jahan’s City). In 1644, Shah Jahan ordered construction of an imposing mosque to serve his new capital. Five thousand artisans worked for six years building what became known as Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque), usually
considered the largest mosque in India. The mosque features two 130-foot tall sandstone minarets, three large marble domes and a 4-acre courtyard for 25,000 worshippers. Today, Shahjahanabad is known as Old Delhi, which is, depending on your point of view, either one of the noisiest and most chaotic places on earth or one of the most vibrant and fascinating. The Jama Masjid, at the end of hectic Chandni Chowk, is among the area’s most popular sites, open to the public except during daily prayers from noon to 1:30 p.m. For a fee, visitors can climb the 130 narrow steps inside the southern minaret to get a view of all of Old Delhi and the most important buildings of New Delhi to the west. Many visitors leave Jama Masjid unaware that it contains what is said to be a red hair from Muhammad’s beard. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

I wish Rustic Citrus was the name of a band I played in back in college. We would have probably been GRAMMAR GUY some kind of folk/ funk fusion, with banjo, mandolin and an entire horn section. I would have played cowbell and sung in the chanting sections of select songs. But, alas, I wasn’t in a band in college; “rustic” and “citrus” are simply two different anagrams for my first name. Word nerds like you probably already know this, but an anagram is a word, phrase or name with the letters rearranged to spell something else, like “debit card” and “bad credit.” Anagrams go all the way back to Ancient Greece, first used by either Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C. or by the poet Lycophron in the third century B.C. But my favorite example of anagram nerdiness in history took place long after the Greeks geeked out on switching letters around. In the 17th century, King Louis XIII enjoyed anagrams so much that he hired an official royal anagrammatist named Thomas Billon to entertain his court with the clever rear-
ranging of their names in amusing or mystical ways. Billon was the combination of a jester and obsessive word scrambler. For the record, if anyone’s hiring, that sounds like an awesome job for me. I have some favorite anagrams. For instance, “stifle” is an anagram of “itself.” In Oklahoma (my home state), two cities on the opposite end of the state, “Altus” and “Tulsa,” are anagrams of each other. The brand name Spandex was made by rearranging the letters of “expands.” And, I don’t want to play favorites here, but an anagram for Presbyterians is “best in prayer” (and also “Britney Spears”). Finally, “eleven plus two” equals “twelve plus one.” Don’t let that blow your mind too much. And — don’t worry — I’m not going to change the name of my column to Anagrammatist Guy, although I am considering the pseudonym Mr. Ray Gugam. Is Curtis Honeycutt “hectic unto yurts?” I’ll let you decide. Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated humor writer.
