This year, Noblesville will have spent more than $2 million on its street rehabilitation projects. Investing in our city roads is critical to our residents, public safety and economic development. While road projects continue as long as weather will allow, including the Boden and Brooks School Road extension and downtown traffic signal upgrade, I want to spend a few minutes focusing on another huge forthcoming road project facing the city – Indiana 37. Discussion about the city’s future Pleasant Street plans have been in the news lately, but I see Ind. 37 as the linchpin to other projects. We plan to extend the Midland Trace Trail east beyond 37. Pleasant Street is being designed to create a new east-west corridor with Ind. 37 as the major intersection, and 146th Street will become a roundabout interchange, removing the stoplights in all four directions. By the way, construction on 146th Street is slated to begin in late 2018. Fishers is getting all the attention when it comes to Ind. 37, but behind the scenes,

we have been working on the northern portion (Greenfield Avenue to the intersection of Ind. 37/32/38). The city has already budgeted $16 million for the project, but that is just the start. Noblesville needs to work with our neighbors and the state for funding options to deliver a free-flowing interchange system to help relieve traffic congestion. Noblesville is moving forward with an engineering survey and utilities and geotechnical investigation on our portion. We expect to have clearer answers in early 2017, especially when it comes to funding hurdles. There are still a lot of questions and work to be done before any dirt is turned. Our plan will be shared with the public as soon as more details are available. The city also plans to work with the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce to inform all businesses and residents throughout the process once we have a firm timeline in place. Mayor John Ditslear has served consecutively as the city’s mayor since 2004. Contact the mayor’s office by calling 317-776-6324 or emailing mglodowski@noblesville.in.us.

City adds lights, signage to dangerous intersection By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville has recently been working to make the intersection of Boden Road and 156th Street safer. roads The city said its engineering department has completed adding signs along the east/west sides of 156th Street to alert drivers of the upcoming stop at Boden Road. Oversized stop signs have also been placed at the intersection in addition to flashing-light signals – a red flashing light on 156th Street and a yellow flashing light on Boden Road. “These improvements are above normal standards to provide enhanced advanced warning,” City Engineer John Beery stated in a press release. The city said a few serious accidents took place at the intersection in 2015, prompting city officials to take action, ensuring drivers will come to a complete stop on 156th before crossing Boden. “Boden Road is seeing higher traffic rates as motorists use it to travel north and south on the east side of the city,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear stated in a press release. “Our goal with the heightened safety is to curtail any future, serious accidents. Other factors are involved when it comes to accidents, but with these improvements, we hope drivers are a little more cognizant of others and yield properly.”

Artist Bonnie Ramirez uses skill to create Noblesville bicentennial centerpiece By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Bonnie Ramirez has worked as a metal artist for two decades. This year, she was commissioned by area orgacover story nizations and the City of Noblesville to make pieces for Noblesville’s and Hamilton County’s celebration of Indiana’s bicentennial. The main piece, which honors Indiana’s flag, served as a holder for the torch – relayed through the county with its last stop in Noblesville Oct. 13 – to rest upon its arrival and lighting of the bicentennial cauldron. The 9-foot, steel structure identifies the 19 stars on the state flag, which represents Indiana being the 19th state admitted to the union. In addition, the main piece is flanked by two smaller steel pieces representing cornstalks. All three are slated to be placed at Federal Hill Commons upon the park’s completion. The cornstalks will serve as bike racks and the main piece as public art. For now, the pieces are in storage. Ramirez, 65, has long been recognized within a group of three welding women in Noblesville (the others are Joanie Weber and Donna Rugenstein), she lived in Noblesville for nearly a decade after moving from Austin, Texas, where she got her start as an artist. “It was my mid-life emancipation, not a crisis. I started when I was in my 40s. I wanted to make something,” Ramirez said. “I had worked construction a long time, anyway. I built houses in Austin in a golf community, and I’d see all these designers come in and have all these really hip metal furniture and accessories.” From her initial inspiration, Ramirez said she signed up for a class at Austin Community College. “They recruited me for their art metals program because it was new. So I enrolled in that and got a degree. I was the first woman to get a degree in art metals at ACC,” Ramirez said. “And I started selling stuff, and I didn’t even mean to. I had been selling my work by accident, really.” From there, Ramirez enrolled at Texas State University. Upon graduation she was hired to teach. She now teaches welding at the J. Everett Light Career Center at North Central High School in Indianapolis. Ramirez moved to Noblesville just before the start of the Nickel Plate Arts organization. In Austin, Ramirez said she had success in selling her art and teaching.

‘I thought, If people want to make art that much, at least I can share what I know. I like being on the grassroots end of stuff.’

- Bonnie Ramirez

“I thought, If people want to make art that much, at least I can share what I know. I like being on the grassroots end of stuff,” she said. Since getting involved with Nickel Plate Arts, Ramirez has spent years promoting the arts in the communities along the rail line. So it was only fitting that when planning began for how the city would commemorate the state’s 200th birthday, Ramirez was contacted to create something unique and special. Noblesville Main Street, Hamilton County Tourism and the City of Noblesville pooled their money to commission Ramirez to create the three pieces. “‘We just want something very Hoosier’ is what I was told when it came to design,” Ramirez said. “I love the flag, and the cornstalks and fields here are the biggest I’ve ever seen. I said (to Aili McGill at Nickel Plate Arts), ‘It could be stars and stalks forever,’ and she loved that. So I came up with some designs.” Ramirez said the entire project and creating the three pieces was completed in six weeks. Federal Hill Commons is set to open this winter with a grand opening in spring 2017.

Very superstitious

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P

It sure doesn’t seem that long This isn’t gloating. It’s simply reflection. We had more than a few people look at us, mouths agape, when we said back in 2005 we were going to launch a publishing company. We heard, “Yeah, good luck with that,” “They’re going crush you like an over-ripened grape and spit you out,” and “This is the wrong time to do that, because newspapers are dying on the vine.” OK, thanks, got it. In truth, that actually became fuel to develop what shortly thereafter became Current Publishing, LLC. As some of you might know, we independently were working on plans to do this, when one of us crossed paths with a mutual acquaintance. He suggested we get together and mine each other’s thoughts. So we did that, and after 15 minutes it became readily apparent that with strength in numbers – to speak nothing of combining energies and knowhow – we just might be able to get this done. Sixteen months of market and reader research, and funding, legal, staffing and logistics work ensued, and – it seemed like overnight, truly – our first publication, Current in Carmel, arrived in the day’s mail of Oct. 24, 2006. Ten. Years. Ago. Our dream came true, and it continues to flourish in our second decade as a locally owned and operated business. We can’t even begin to explain how fortunate we are and how grateful we are to so many, including our readership, our advertising partners, our investors, our vendors, our research firm and, last but nowhere near least, our colleagues here at this humble enterprise. Add it up, and it all looks like this: You win with people. In the end, it’s that simple. Getting to this point was anything but. It was a dark-and-stormy night Oct. 19, 2006. We were busy assembling our first edition. Sometime before 10 p.m., everyone left for the night … except for Steve. He had a few more things to do (including an hour nap in his car at 2 a.m.), and that lasted only until about 6 p.m. the next day, when the paper was shipped for the press run … only approximately eight hours late. Brian was pacing with a stack of unpaid ad invoices and a calculator belching smoke. It was quite the scene. We were housed in temporary quarters, “Cubicleville” at the former Thomson USA building at West 103rd and Meridian streets. We met a See BACKSHOP | Page 13

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Off to the races Commentary by Terry Anker With the rising sun, we all reach collectively for our smart devices. What messages arrived over night? What is the itinerary for the coming day? We run the rat race as if our lives depended upon it. Perhaps they do. Whether corporally perilous or not, we can agree that we are all running somewhere – either toward our objective or away from it. We move, always. Even as we think that we are standing still, we are carried along by those near us. As we consider it now, it all seems very exhausting. So if we are all somehow tied to the race, how do we win – or at least try to keep up? Ask any experienced runner about their technique to victory and one will elicit as many responses as athletes asked. A sprinter will urge an immediate burst from the blocks and a full-on dash through the finish line. The distance runner might encourage a more methodical and deliberate approach to

triumph. Have a game plan. Execute on the plan. Win with the plan. OK, but how does it connect to us? Is life a marathon or a sprint? And if we figure it out, can we plan a strategy that makes it all a bit easier? Conventional wisdom implies that life is a marathon and not a sprint. We are encouraged to hold back so as not to burn out too quickly. It all sounds reasonable, but sometimes it seems more like a relay race. Occasionally, we carry the baton. Other times, we pass it along for another to carry. Then we stand at the sideline and cheer them on – our hopes vested in their talent and dedication. Who knows? Still, if we are off to the races, shouldn’t we determine what kind of race we are running? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEE K Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.

– Dalai Lama XIV

Are you superstitious? I am. I firmly believe that the only way the University of Louisville can win a game humor is if I wear my Cards T-shirt with a pair of Express jeans and abstain from Diet Coke for the day. And that hearing Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” in full means a family member is pregnant. I also never take chances with sidewalk cracks, tails-up pennies, spilled salt, or stupid black cats, for obvious reasons. Why I am like this? After all, I’m fairly well-educated and can rationally acknowledge that a kitty sauntering across my path should have absolutely no repercussions on my day. Or that my moving one seat to the left at a Colts game shouldn’t make a bit of difference on whether or not T.Y. Hilton scores a touchdown. I know in my heart that these silly things don’t matter, and yet I can’t prevent myself from acting on them, anyway. Part of my superstitious nature I blame on genetics. I am a ginger twin and have supposedly inherited special sensory connections to my sister, although it’s really only worked one time, and that was on her end. Furthermore, by all accounts, my maternal grandmother was “born under the veil,” and therefore had “the sight.” (I can’t explain what any of this means but it sounds cool.) And my mom is extremely intuitive; always knew when I was pregnant, even before me or Rod Stewart. So I’ve grown up with both an appreciation for trusting my instincts and the belief that “signs” foretelling the future do exist for those who choose to read them. Case in point: My daughter sang in a production of “Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” just one month before I was awarded a travel grant to the Middle East! Anyway, I bring this entire topic up because the most superstitious (and awesome-est) holiday of the year, Halloween, is upon us. Weird things can and will happen, especially if you’re not prepared. So grab a rabbit’s foot, wear some garlic, and take care around mirrors. And if you hear “Forever Young,” congratulations! Peace out.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Put redistricting in hands of citizens Editor, The federal government takes a new census every 10 years, and that data is used to redraw the congressional and legislative districts that must, by law, be roughly equal in population. Sounds pretty straight forward, except for “Gerrymandering,” where the political party that controls the state general assembly also controls the redistricting process. Hamilton County State Representatives Kathy Richardson (Noblesville) and Jerry Torr (Carmel) are in the unique position of having an opportunity to help usher in the beginning of the end for gerrymandering in Indiana. Richardson is a member and Torr the chair of the Special Interim Committee on Redistricting, which will meet for the final time on Oct. 17th and vote on whether or not to send a redistricting reform draft proposal on to the general assembly. Without this committee’s endorsement, the legislature will have an ex-

cuse to forget about reforming the redistricting process, and we can look forward to more gerrymandering in 2021. Both political parties in Indiana are guilty of gerrymandering. Both have used it to create safe districts for their members, which limits the choices that voters have and makes it difficult to hold incumbents accountable. It has led to polarization in the political process and to Indiana’s low voter turnout – the worst in the nation in 2014. Allowing legislators to draw their own political districts is like allowing them to choose their voters; it’s clearly a conflict of interest. It is time for that conflict to end in Indiana. Indiana should follow the lead of states like Arizona and California that have put citizens in charge of the redistricting process. Please contact representatives Richardson and Torr, and ask them to support redistricting reform. Peg Harmon, Hamilton County League of Women Voters

VIEWS BACKSHOP | From Page 11 ton of cool and helpful people there, folks that had nothing to do with Current, but who willingly pitched in on matters of technology and communication. On New Year’s Eve 2006, we bade them farewell after sending the paper to press (on time!), boxing up all our worldly possessions and unplugging, maybe, four computers. We were headed for a more permanent home, the Old Town Shoppes at the southeast corner of East Main Street and South Range Line Road in Carmel. We all but outgrew that office in less than a year, but we hung in for nearly five, before moving to our now office/ home/world headquarters at 30 S. Range Line Rd. What a trip! Colleagues have come and gone (fairly rapidly in the beginning as we strove to find our sea legs), but the one constant has been Dennis O’Malia. He has been a vital part of this operation since well before Day 1. Some might not know him as an advertising sales executive extraordinaire and the one who really gave us our “go like hell” tenet, but as a former owner of O’Malia Food Markets. We believe everyone associated with us comprises The A Team, to which we owe a massive measure of gratitude. Even though we can’t mention them all by name here - Brian, aka Mr. Drysdale (see: The Beverly Hillbillies), would faint from the newsprint expense - we seriously would

be remiss were we not to name the folks we call “our bosses in the office”: Zach Ross, our art director and production coordinator, who is far and away the most unflappable/unfazed human around when all hell is breaking loose; Andrea Nickas, our advertising artist, who just keeps quietly super-serving our advertising partners with high-quality and quick work, as does Lara Acton, our ad traffic manager (a job at which either of us would fail in a heartbeat); Raquel Dowley, our office manager, who has built in so many critical efficiencies and is as detail-oriented as they come; Sophie Pappas, our micro-managing (in a fantastic way) editorial director, and her managing editors, Ann Marie Shambaugh (Carmel and Zionsville), Sadie Hunter (Noblesville and Geist) and Anna Skinner (Westfield and Fishers). Those folks and all their associates/charges really are the ones that make Current go, and we tip our hats to everyone. We wouldn’t trade a soul from that lot. Current’s circulation has grown from 26,000 households in 2006 to 125,731 today. We had planned for expansion early on, but each foray into a new market was accelerated at the behest of advertising partners – even through the recession. Today, in addition to Carmel, we are proud purveyors of what we call locallocal content - demanded by readers through research, the information you can’t get from a single source anywhere else - in Fishers,

Geist, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville. That research allows us to provide the content package that resonates with our readers, who linger with the paper and view our advertisers’ messages 2.7 times per single issue. It’s a powerful combination. Too, we have immersed as fully as possible in the communities we serve, especially in the not-for-profit arena. To date since our founding, we have donated in excess of $1.6 million to NFPs, and that never will abate; it’s part of who we are and that for which we stand. We’re often asked, “What’s next?” It’s an excellent question. To be sure, there are other markets – near and far – to be conquered. Time will tell. For now, though, here’s a toast to everyone – EVERYONE! – who made this possible, not the least of which are our incredibly understanding and supportive families. Without them … well, we won’t even ponder that. It’s all extremely humbling. With all sincerity, thank you for reading Current. To the future!

Woman teaches sewing at home The Children’s Museum Guild’s 53rd Annual

Haunted House

Now Open!

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Donnell Bradley moved to Noblesville two years ago, and when she began teaching her nieces how to sew, she realized local it was something she wanted to operate as a business. Bradley teaches children, from the comfort of her own home, how to sew. “What I do is really along the same lines as weekly piano lessons or weekly soccer or gymnastics lessons,” she said. “It’s another outlet for kids who may not necessarily be athletes or musicians, to just give them something else to do. It’s something creative to give them a project or outcome, and along the way they learn a life skill.” Kids attend classes once each week, and Bradley never teaches more than four at a time. She said adults have even contacted her asking for lessons, and occasionally she will do private lessons. “I get tons and tons of mothers who call and just say it’s a life skill they missed out on because, by the time younger mothers went to school, home economics classes started to be cut, and they want their daughters to learn how to sew,” Bradley said. “It is something that’s useful. I’ve been a teacher for 20 years, and I used to feel crushed for those kids who

weren’t athletes or musicians. I just see this as another creative outlet for kids to do that. It helps to increase their focus, attention to detail, fine motor skills, learn to read and follow directions.” Bradley’s classes are designed for weekly sessions throughout the school year, but she said due to scheduling, some students sign up later. Classes are $65 per month, and the booklet Bradley uses is $40. For more, visit roomtosew.com or the Room to Sew Facebook page.

Halloween tailgate Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Not that we saw it first-hand, but it’s said that trick-or-treating has been a Halloween tradition in America since the late 1920s. In the British Isles the tradition of going houseto-house, in costume and collecting treats at Halloween, can be traced as far back as the 16th century. Why not do your part to keep this tradition alive by staging your own Halloween tailgate? Here’s how to dress-up your tailgate in the Halloween spirit. Have orange and black Jell-O shots for the adults. Carve a pumpkin with your school logo. Have a tub full of leftover candy for passers-by. Have simple Lone Ranger-type masks for your guests. Today, chocolate chip cookie cakes are extremely popular in supermarket birthday areas because they can be decorated like a cake. If you consider the sugar excesses of Halloween season, no one among us should fear the calories of icing and chocolate chips in their system. Here is a cookie bar recipe that can use up a lot of those little packs of Reece’s Pieces and has perfect Halloween colors. PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BARS Ingredients: 2 7.2 oz. Packages of Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix, 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons water, ½ cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup Reece’s Pieces (11 trick-or-treat size 4.9 oz. bags) Instructions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cover inside of a 10 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray the paper with no-stick spray. Chop about ¾ of the Reese’s Pieces to expose the insides.

ece’s Pieces. Place the dough into the baking dish and using your fingers, gently press the dough to fit evenly in the middle and against the sides. Sprinkle the top with the remaining un-chopped Reece’s Pieces. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown. At first the center will be a little soft. Cool the cookie sheet on a wire rack for at least an hour or until the sheet is room temperature on its bottom. The longer you wait the more solid the bars will become. Next, grasping the parchment paper, slide the big bar rectangle onto a cutting board. Be careful because the large cookie/bar will be fragile at this point. Slide the parchment out from under the large cookie and cut it into 24 bars with four rows of six bars per row. On game day, box the bars into a plastic sealable container for transport to the game and wait for the compliments.

Grace Church musical opens Oct. 28 By Heather Collins news@currentnoblesville.com It’s the tale as old as time. “Beauty and the Beast” will open Oct. 28 at Grace Church. The hit musical will be family fun directed by Amy Christie. It focuses on the message that “love conquers.” Grace Church’s presentation of “Beauty and the Beast” will focus on the power of transformation, as well as the lives of the various characters. “The vision for the show Osgood is that true unconditional love has the power to transform lives. Seeing beyond someone’s exterior and into their heart is the way lives change. I believe this is a message the world needs to hear right now,” Christie said. “Love conquers. Engage with people that are different from you. Don’t let fear paralyze you. Listen, learn, love. It might transform them and it will transform you.” This year, the “Beauty and the Beast” animated film is celebrating its 25th anniversary and, coincidentally, Grace Church is also celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The cast is composed of about 90 performers, ranging in ages from 8 to 70, and ranging in experience from beginners to Broadway performers. “We really value that. We want people from varied backgrounds and at various ages,” Christie said. “There is something so beautiful as they all come together for a common goal and a higher purpose.” Carmel High School senior Betsy Sandifer will play the roll of Belle. The Beast will be played by Noblesville High School junior Jon Osgood, most recently the winner of “Noblesville Idol.” Sandifer Following each performance, young fans will have the opportunity to interact with the characters from “Beauty and the Beast.” According to Grace Church, the last musical it produced, “Les Miserables,” was attended by thousands. Show dates are Oct. 28-30 and Nov. 3-6. General admission tickets are $11. For the full performance schedule and tickets, visit gracechurch.us/theatre. Doors will open 30 minutes before showtime. Grace Church is at 3305 E 146th St. in Noblesville.

Healthy mornings: Bran muffins Submitted content courtesy of Family Features Muffins are perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or as a healthy snack option. Homemade oat bran muffins are a great alternative to large, store-bought muffins that are usually packed with calories and fat. Oat bran is a good source of soluble fiber, which can help reduce cholesterol. Not only do these muffins offer health benefits, the recipe is also effortless, making it a morning time-saver when you need to get out the door in a hurry. You can also switch out blueberries for different fruits, such as a banana, giving you the option to have something new each time. Ingredients: • 2 cups oat bran hot cereal, uncooked • 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute • 2 teaspoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) • 1 cup skim milk • 2 egg whites, slightly beaten • 1/4 cup honey or molasses • 2 tablespoons canola oil • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Directions: Heat oven to 425 F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups

or spray bottoms only with non-stick cooking spray. In bowl, combine oat bran cereal, brown sugar substitute, baking powder and salt, if desired; mix well. Add milk, egg whites, honey, oil and blueberries; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over-mix. Fill prepared muffin cups about threequarters full. Bake 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Variation: In place of blueberries, stir 1 medium mashed, ripe banana or any other fruit of choice into batter before baking.

Blueprint for Improvement: Transitional bathroom cosmetic update Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal was to create a comfortable, more aesthetically spacious master bathroom, while keeping the elements in place that worked most efficiently. 1. The existing vanity cabinets were painted to coordinate with the new fireplace cabinet color. New decorative hardware was added for an extra touch of personal style. 2. While the existing jetted tub functioned well, the tub deck needed a cosmetic update. The beautiful new wood-look floor tile was continued up the side and top of the tub deck, and a beautiful accent tile surround replaced the former outdated white tile. 3. The former alcove shower felt extremely small because of the limited amount of light and glass. The shower transformation included raising the shower ceiling, opening up one of the four walls, new tile, corner bench, large recessed niche and plumbing fixtures. 4. Other beautiful details, such as new framed mirrors, industrial light fixtures, granite countertops, undermount sinks, and oil rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures, were the perfect accompaniments to finish off the space.

Before Background Info: In conjunction with the fireplace remodel we featured two weeks ago, this 1990s Carmel home in the Brookfield neighborhood was in need of updates to the master bathroom as well. The homeowners were looking for the best design solution to combine function with style.

Before problems: The former master bathroom had efficient function and circulation space, but each area, especially the closed-off shower, needed updates to reflect the homeowners’ style and coordinate with the rest of their home.

There are two aspects to child custody—legal and physical. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate in most cases unless there is a significant breakdown in communication between the parties. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody will be ordered and the parents are required to consult one another before making any of these “major decisions.” The second aspect of custody, physical custody, is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to where the children spend their time. As an initial matter, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases parenting time as the children grow older, provides for a division of holidays, and allots time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, however, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Often times, Indiana Courts will award a highly involved, non-custodial parent with parenting time in excess of the schedule that is provided in the Parenting Time Guidelines. People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor. However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to

make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge often has a limited timeframe to hear the evidence and limited remedies when determining a parenting time schedule. This is not to say that custody conflicts which arise should not be litigated. However, once you decide to proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands. Finally, if parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved. Remember, there are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules, flexibility for holidays and more importantly the ability to decide and shape your future with your children. Being able to communicate and cooperate on these matters is a win-win for all involved. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Amritsar and independence Commentary by Don Knebel Amritsar, in northwest India, is the site of the Golden Temple, the holiest place on earth for followers of the Sikh religion. travel It is also the site of a massacre that played a key role in igniting the demand for Indian independence. On April 10, 1919, violent protests in Amritsar led British Brigadier General Reginald Dyer to impose a ban on all public gatherings. On April 13, thousands of Sikhs in Amritsar for their annual Baisakhi festival, unaware of the ban, congregated in Jallianwall Bagh, a six-acre public garden near the Golden Temple, where they joined protestors knowingly violating the ban. Seeing the huge gathering as a threat to his ability to maintain order, General Dyer arrived at Jallianwall Bagh with 50 armed troops, who immediately and without warning began firing indiscriminately at the crowd. People tried to run, but their escape routes were blocked by either walls or British forces. Some people were crushed to death as they tried to leave. Others jumped into a large garden well.

The soldiers stopped shooting only when they ran short of ammunition. An official inquiry by the House of Commons, which led to the resignation of General Dyer, counted 379 unarmed dead and 1,200 wounded, including women and children. Indians have always believed the casualty count must have been much higher because of the large number of people in Jallianwall Bagh when the shooting started. What became known as the Amritsar Massacre convinced Mohandas Gandhi to initiate the non-violent struggle that eventually led to Indian independence in 1947. In 1951, the Indian government erected a memorial honoring the victims of the massacre inside Jallianwall Bagh, near brick walls still displaying bullet holes. Perhaps the most poignant reminder is the Martyrs’ Well, with a sign saying that 120 bodies were found piled at the bottom. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
