Sheriff candidates detail aspirations at chamber event By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
On the cover
The Westfield City Council recently passed an ordinance allowing for the establishment of the Grand Junction Riverfront Development Area, which will make alcoholic beverage licenses more accessible for that area.

Area residents heard from Hamilton County Sheriff candidates in a forum-like setting at the March 13 Westfield Chamber POLITICS of Commerce Coffee with the Chamber event. Candidates Bill Clifford, Dennis Quakenbush, Eddie Moore and Mitch Russell answered questions from chamber President Jack Russell about the sherrif’s race. Questions covered what the candidates thought their greatest career accomplishments were, why the race was important to the people in Hamilton County and their vision for the department. Russell, who serves as security manager for Riverview Health, comes from a law enforcement background of 41 years. “I have been very lucky to have many opportunities in management, budgeting, hiring and terminations and have been very successful at that,” he said. “That’s the greatest assets I can give to this county.” Clifford said the reason the race is important is because voters elect the one to oversee the safety of the community. “You have loved ones at home. The sheriff is the constitutional law enforcement officer that you all elect. You choose who is going to be the top cop in your community,” said Clifford, a sergeant in the HCSO. “I spent more than a year talking to citizens in their homes,
in businesses and in clubs. We need to be connected to you, and I hope you can see I’m willing to do that.” Quakenbush, who serves as captain of the patrol division for the HCSO, said the race was important to residents because they don’t want more crime in the county. “This is consistently one of the greatest places to live in the nation, I’m proud of everything we’ve done and put in place,” Quakenbush said. “We attract great businesses to this community, and we don’t want crime to creep up from Marion County. We want someone who is passionate and tough on crime.” Quakenbush also said the jail project was important because Hamilton County inmates are less likely to re-offend upon release than the national average. Moore said he is proud of founding the Hamilton County Chaplaincy program. He is a commander of one of the HCSO’s night shift patrol divisions. “My service to the community through Christ has been very, very important and led me to even deeper service to the community,” Moore said. “This is where we chose to live. I chose to live here because the people of Hamilton County are wonderful people, and being a police officer here has been just a fantastic ride.” The candidates will participate in a forum hosted by the Fiscal Conservatives of Hamilton County at 7 p.m. April 17 at Ivy Tech, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Discovery of Native American artifact inspires artist By Heather Collins news@currentinwestfield.com The discovery of a Native American artifact in Carmel renewed Marshall Gaw’s interest in Indian culture and his ART love of carving. The 30-year-old Carmel resident took out his chainsaw and began creating an Indian head, titled “Tribute to Native Americans,” after learning of the banner stone, a multi-tool used by native settlers possibly as far back as 4,000 years ago. A city employee found the artifact in June 2017 at the 136th Street and Gray Road roundabout construction site. Gaw works as an arborist at Vine & Branch on 146th Street, where some of his work is on display outside the building. He can often be seen in the yard with his chainsaw working on a variety of custommade pieces. As a child, Gaw enjoyed playing with toys Marshall Gaw works on a chainsaw carving at Vine & Branch in Carmel. (Photo by Ann Marie such as Play-Doh and Legos.

clay sculpture of an Indian face in Colorado. Gaw said when the purchaser walked into the store, his eyes filled with tears because the sculpture looked just like his deceased father-in-law. In September 2016, Gaw’s work was featured at Indiana Originals, a marketplace for local products, artisans and businesses. Gaw, who is a scout sniper in the Army National Guard, begins each chainsaw carving by selecting the right size and piece of wood. He uses a blocking method to form the general shape of the carving and then uses an angle grinder with a sanding pad attachment and dremel tool to bring the piece to life and etch the details. Gaw said he likes to finalize the carvings with a coat of polyurethane to weather-proof the piece and bring out the natural color and grain of the wood. Gaw recommends that beginning carvers start with a piece of log-shaped clay to get a feel for carving, but he notes that with wood carving, pieces can’t be put back on once removed.

Family Promise to fund center By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Spurred by the realization there is no physical refuge for the homeless in Hamilton County, the PHILANTHROPY national organization Family Promise developed a local chapter to serve those in a homeless situation in the county. Currently, FPOHC is searching for more congregations to serve as shelters for those in a homeless situation, and it is raising funds for a transportation van and a day center. “Family Promise in general is an organization that uses congregations from around specific counties to house homeless children and their families,” co-chair Faith Jackson said. “So, we are looking for congregations in Hamilton County to do just that. Families in the area that are in a homeless situation are able to have hot meals and a place to stay, and that’s all done by volunteers from the local community and the congregations that host them.” Nine local congregations have signed up, and the organization needs 13. Each congregation hosts families for four weeks out of the year. Congregations host three to four families for a week. Families arrive at the congregation on Sundays after service and are then

transported by a 14-person van to another congregation the following Sunday prior to services. Once constructed, a day center will serve as a resource hub for families, such as providing computers and interview skills with resume-building opportunities. FPOHC wants to raise $160,000 and is looking at applying for grants and organizing some fundraisers. The organization is based in Noblesville but serves all of Hamilton County. “There’s nothing in Hamilton County currently to address the homeless situation of children and their families,” Jackson said. “There are shelters for domestic violence, but there’s nothing for homelessness in Hamilton County, there’s no solution.” To make a donation or to learn more, visit fpohc.org.

“My Sinuses Are Bothering Me”
“My sinuses are bothering me”! It is a phrase we hear all the time throughout the year. But what does this actually mean? People use the phrase to mean that they have nasal congestion, facial pressure, nasal drainage, teeth pain, headache, or even fatigue. These symptoms could be a result of actual sinus infections, but also could be from seasonal allergies or structural abnormalities within the nasal cavity, such as a deviated septum. So how do we, as physicians, help identify the cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan for our patients? It always starts with taking a detailed medical history and then performing a careful examination of a patient’s anatomy. A trial of appropriate medications can be followed by allergy testing and/or a CT scan of the sinuses if symptoms persist. Nasal surgery, such as a Septoplasty, can be very helpful when nasal airflow is affected. Sinus surgery becomes an option when a sinus CT scan shows blocked sinuses after medical therapy. Northside ENT, a leading provider of med-
ical services for patients with conditions affecting the Ear, Nose, and Throat since 1977, is pleased to offer a new IN-OFFICE treatment for chronic sinusitis. Balloon Sinuplasty (also known as Balloon Sinus Dilation or “BSD”) can be performed under a local anesthetic in our office in a quiet and comfortable setting. Patients who qualify for the procedure would notice significantly less pain and bleeding and a faster return to normal activity than those who undergo the more traditional sinus surgery in an operating room. Patients followed for 2 years after the procedure have similar outcomes and success when compared to traditional sinus surgery. However since sinus tissue is not actually (Advertisement)
removed, there is minimal bleeding, much less pain, and absolutely no need for packing. Mike Reed underwent Balloon Sinus Dilation earlier this year with Dr. Youkilis and had this to say: “During the procedure, I was fully awake and experienced only very minor discomfort a time or two. Afterwards, I returned home without any real pain and went to work the next day. Since the surgery, I have felt better than I have in years and would recommend the procedure to anyone with chronic sinus issues.” Please contact us for an appointment (or ask your physician to make a referral) if you think you might be suffering from nasal congestion or chronic sinusitis. “Dr. Bob Youkilis is an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician with Northside ENT. He and his partners (Drs. Scott Hackett, Jeff Beach, and Seth Bruggers) are located at 12065 Old Meridian in Carmel, 46032.

Council approves ordinance for Grand Park attraction; residents raise concern

The map that would include the new Grand Junction Riverfront Development Area boundaries. (Submitted image)
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield City Council unanimously passed an ordinance establishing a Riverfront Development Area within the Grand Junction Economic Development COVER STORY Area. The ordinance allows the city to have additional alcoholic beverage licenses within the designated area. Typically, the state of Indiana uses census figures as the quota system for granting additional alcoholic beverage licenses to a city. But because a census is only completed every 10 years and only tracks people that live Ailor within that area, Westfield encountered a problem. It has two three-way liquor licenses remaining, yet 1.8 million visits were recorded to Grand Park last year. That number represented thousands of people wining and dining within the city who don’t actually live there. “We are a hospitality city. We have a lot of guests, and they spend money here,” Westfield City Council President Jim Ake said. “They need to eat here, so there are some advantages to taking a look at this opportunity we have been given.” State statute IC 7.1-3-20-16 authorizes a city to establish a municipal riverfront Ake district project area, which allows cities to have access to additional alcoholic beverage licenses within a specific area, such as the Grand Junction Riverfront Development Area. Licenses are nontransferable but are much cheaper than traditional alcoholic beverage licenses. One of the requirements is a river in the area. Economic Development Director Matt Skelton presented the ordinance to council, saying that Grassy Branch Creek running through the Grand Junction Development Skelton Area is classified as a river by the state’s definition, which is “a flowing body of water.”
Licenses in the development area would be sold for $1,000, much less than the normal price of $40,000. If it was decided to obtain additional licenses, the council would establish a review committee, and interested restaurants would go through an extensive application process. Marla Ailor, who is running for Westfield Washington Township trustee against incumbent Danielle Carey Tolan, is concerned. She said it stems from the Grand Junction Riverfront Development Area map and how it includes subdistricts outside the Grand Junction Development Area, such as areas in The Gateway, the southwest quadrant of U.S. 31 and Ind. 32. “My main concern is it will somehow damage the historical integrity of Westfield and downtown,” she said. “My feeling was that Matt Skelton was able to figure out a loophole, and that our city, administration and councilors were able to take advantage of that loophole. I think when Mayor (Andy Cook) and (council) President (Jim) Ake say we are a hospitality city and need to serve the guests of Grand Park, it’s their job to also serve the people of Westfield. Are the residents in Westfield being best served by these decisions?” The council acted quickly on the ordinance, as discussions occurred in a recent legislative session about limiting a city’s ability to qualify for a riverfront license. The bill, including the restrictions, didn’t pass before the end of the legislative session. “If they (guests) don’t eat in Westfield, Cook they will eat in Carmel or Noblesville,” Cook said. “The reason we created this whole Grand Park was to create an industry of hospitality.” To view the ordinance, visit goo.gl/PZNd45.
How a riverfront district will affect downtown development It was clarified that the Westfield City Council would retain control of zoning changes within the district or the types of restaurants potentially locating in the area, and that establishing a riverfront district wouldn’t negatively affect control. After clarifying council would not lose control, the ordinance passed, 7-0. Council member Mark Keen said with the affordability of a riverfront district alcoholic beverage license, local restaurants would have a better opportunity of locating in downtown Westfield. Keen “This could give the opportunity to local restaurants to start as opposed to national chains because of more affordability (with these licenses),” he said. “I certainly would like to see local people have a chance to do successful things, too, as opposed to just looking at national chains.”

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

READER’S VIEW Arming teachers an option Editor, I just wanted to give (columnist Danielle Wilson) my two cents on your commentary (published March 6) regarding arming teachers in schools. I do not think anyone is suggesting that all teachers in every school carry guns or that we should be turning our schools into penitentiaries. I do, however, think that it would be sensible to talk about the possibility of some teachers who already conceal carry, are experienced shooters and feel comfortable with the responsibility having access to a gun in the classroom being part of the solution to protecting our children and teachers across the country. In some areas, this could work to add to the security of our schools in shooter situations, and in other areas there may need to be more armed officers on campus. We have seen that in these shooter situations, most of the devastation occurs within a matter of minutes while teachers are using their bodies to protect children, often losing their life in the process. Wouldn’t you rather hear that the football coach that lost his life shielding his students instead had ac-
cess to a gun and took out the shooter, minimizing or preventing the devastation that took place? Maybe if that was part of the story, these cowards might think twice about shooting up a school, knowing there’s a good chance they’ll be shot themselves. On the other hand, if it isn’t deterrence for the shooter because he’s suicidal, etc., at least the devastation could be much less and more lives could be saved. If we want to engage in meaningful conversations and realistic solutions then we should at least talk about the possible solutions. Obviously, you wouldn’t be one of the teachers in this position to have access to a gun since you aren’t experienced or comfortable handling a gun. That doesn’t mean there aren’t teachers out there that are experienced and want to have the ability to protect themselves and their students in a situation like this. Again, this wouldn’t work in every school, but it should at least be part of the conversation. Why delete it from the conversation just because you aren’t a teacher who would be a good candidate in this position? Summer Jenkins, Westfield
Me last week: Yay! Our oldest is coming home from college! Me today: Yay! Our oldest is going back to college! Am I right? I love my IU HUMOR freshman, but after nine days of G’s non-stop talking and eating, I’m ready for a return to normalcy (history buffs, whose presidential campaign slogan did I just co-opt?). First of all, the foot traffic here has increased tenfold. Our house has become the place to watch basketball, play video games and bake blackberry pies for apparently all spring breakers in the tri-county area. This means additional runs to Meijer for milk, Red Baron pizzas and butter, and an everlasting tower of dishes in the kitchen. Unlike Ike, me no like (boom! I just dropped another iconic election jingle on you!). We’ve also had to manage several fights over the third car. Though technically G’s, our high school juniors have been using it for work and practice. I’ve suddenly been thrust into carpool mode again, forced to orchestrate pick-up and drop-off times and navigate a ridiculous number of roundabouts. Happy days are not here again. Finally, of all ours kids, G talks the most, the loudest and the closest. He loves to sidle his 6-foot-3 frame next to me and discuss politics, sports and his accounting class. Cute, I know, but I’ve gotten use to short texts and the occasional call for money. So yes, I’m thrilled G is going back today. I need to make the remaining Wilson family great again (yep, I went there). Peace out.

Navigating Hemingway Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The Wolfsies are moving. We checked out lots of places. In one neighborhood, we saw a Commander Avenue, HUMOR Commander Way, Commander Circle and Commander Court. Did they run out of nautical terms right after they named the development Commander Point? In another community, we saw Sheila Road, Shelly Court and Shirley Way. We presently live on a street with a long Indian name. My son was 10 before he could pronounce it and 17 before he could spell it, so I used to tell him that if he had to call 911 for me, it would be easiest just to drag me out to the highway. One thing we learned is to never ask for directions within a housing development. Even the people who live there are clueless. “Excuse me, can you tell me where Ernest Hemingway Drive is?” “Uh, let’s see. This is Nathaniel Hawthorne Lane and the next left is Herman Melville Court. Or maybe it’s Henry Thoreau Terrace. Are you sure Ernest Hemingway Drive is around here? It may be over in the 20th-century author section across the
street.” People don’t know the names of nearby streets because they don’t know people who live close by. All their friends live in classier places, maybe named after French writers or books, although I wouldn’t want to live on Les Miserables Drive. We once gave up trying to find a friend’s new home. After an hour, we asked a guy walking his dog, “Excuse me, can you tell us how to get to the main road?” “Sorry, but I can’t help you. I’ve only lived here a year. Would you like directions to the pool?” “No, we don’t want to go to the pool. We want to get out of here.” “OK, let’s try this: Turn left on the street that’s named after that guy who wrote “The Prince and the Pauper,” then a right on the road named after the man who…what’s his name? He wrote ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls.’” We got home at 3 a.m. What a novel experience.

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

Get ready for the finish line Commentary by Dr. F. Andrew Rowan Whether you’re a walker or a runner, you can start your training plan and avoid injuries with these tips. How should I get started if I want to train for a race? There are lots of resources available for training, and many will RUNNING cater to your individual needs. If you’re looking for a running group, check your local gym or running apparel store. A running group is a good option if you like having accountability and a set training schedule. The internet also can be a helpful tool, and it is full of customizable plans. The key with any training plan is to start where you feel comfortable. Consider the running pace, mileage and intensity of the training plan. Be realistic about your goals, and if you haven’t exercised recently, check in with your primary care physician beforehand to make sure it’s safe. What are common injuries for runners, and how can those injuries be prevented? Most injuries, such as shin splints, strains, muscle spasm or plantar fasciitis, are repetitive strain injuries. These injuries
happen when your muscles and tendons are overworked. Prevent this by sticking to your training program – don’t skip a week or move too fast. Regular exercise keeps your muscles moving and your joints loose, which reduces the chance of a repetitive strain injury. Don’t forget to do a thorough warm-up and cool-down before and after exercise, and to leave enough time for rest between workouts. It’s common to be sore during training, but what are signs I might be injured? Typical soreness comes with any workout, especially if you are trying to push your time or intensity. Most soreness will settle after resting and stretching. If you feel a sharp pain, or if your symptoms are persistent, those are warning signs of injury. Injuries can happen to any runner, and treatment often involves rest and rehabilitation. If you do suffer an injury, that doesn’t always mean you can’t participate in your race. Talk with your doctor about your options for crossing the finish line.

Netolicky’s book details Indiana’s love affair with ABA, Pacers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It started with a little reminiscing about glory days with two old friends. Bob Netolicky, betBASKETBALL ter known as “Neto,” was a member of the Indiana Pacers in their inaugural 1967-68 season in the American Basketball Association. Dick Tinkham was one of the Pacers’ original co-owners and legal counsel for the team. Tinkham served on the merger committee. The ABA folded in 1976 and the Pacers were one of four teams that merged into the NBA. “Dick and I were talking four or five years ago, and a book had come out about the ABA, and he said none of this is right,” said Netolicky, who was a longtime Carmel resident before moving to Noblesville in 2013. “He said it’s all hearsay or thirdperson. He started telling me some stories that I had never heard.” Netolicky, Tinkham and NBC Sports racing reporter Robin Miller have co-authored a recently released book, “We Changed the Game.” One story in particular that Netolicky had never heard was that if the Pacers had lost a seventh game in a first round playoff series against Kentucky in 1969, the team would have folded the next day. Instead, the Pacers won that game and another round to reach the finals and were able to gain more investors. “I was shocked,” Netolicky said. “(Tinkham) kept saying we got to write a book and tell what really happened.” Tinkham said he didn’t want to write a book like all the other ones on the ABA, which he described as long, drawn-out press clippings of games. “He said, ‘Let’s have some fun and tell the real stories,” Netolicky said. “We started with two or three different writers, and it just dawned on me that Robin was with us since Day 1. He started out as a cub reporter with the team in ’69.” As a young reporter at The Indianapolis

Star, Miller often traveled with the team and wrote features. Netolicky nicknamed him “Jimmy Olsen” after the young reporter in “Superman.” “So, after about four years, we have a book,” Netolicky said. “It’s a fun read. Dick was worried about stepping on people’s toes, but I said, ‘Dick, everyone is dead.’” There are of course some stories about Bobby “Slick” Leonard, who took over as Pacers coach in the second season and guided them to three ABA championships. Leonard, a Carmel resident, is a longtime Pacers radio broadcaster. Netolicky said Leonard was known for his colorful language. “Even (Pacers owner) Herb Simon said you never walked into the locker room and hear Slick say, ‘Golly, gee whiz,’” Netolicky said.
BOOK SIGNING When: Noon to 2 p.m., March 31 Where: Bruno’s Shoebox, 50 N. 9th St., Noblesville
Among those recommending the book are broadcaster Bob Costas, who started his career broadcasting the Spirits of St. Louis. “There’s something about the ABA, the Coliseum, the red, white and blue ball and how Indianapolis embraced the Pacers,” Miller said. “That was the first team our city ever embraced. People have such a soft spot in their heart for the ABA, especially the Pacers, that it transcends time. From my perspective, it’s a history about how the Pacers claimed the city. The city got its makeover, thanks to the Pacers.” Ten percent of the book’s proceeds benefit the Dropping Dimes Foundation, a nonprofit that assists former ABA players and their families. For more, visit wechangedthegame. com. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and Hilton Publishing (hiltonpub.com). There is a 50-year reunion of ABA players set for April 7 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Costas will be the emcee. For more, visit droppingdimes.org.
IWS to present ‘Among the Trees’ editorial@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Wind Symphony will present “Among the Trees” at 7 p.m. April 8 at The Palladium, the Center for the Performing Arts, in Carmel. IWS will perform music inspired by the magnificence and beauty of trees. Accomplished pianist Kelleen Strutz will be featured in Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” which concludes the first half of the concert. “This will be Kelleen’s fourth or fifth performance with us,” IWS Music Director Charlie Conrad said. “She’s been one of our pretty regular soloists. ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ is the only one that doesn’t have a tie-in to trees.” Conrad said this is the first concert theme devoted to songs about trees. “We wanted to do the tune, ‘Wind in the Willows,’ and we were going to do ‘Pines of Rome,’ so we took the link off of those,” Conrad said. “We have a couple of new pieces we’re really excited by and a couple that we’ve played before and really enjoyed. ‘Pines of Rome’ is going to be the finale.” Westfield – Urban Vines will host a ’90s-themed trivia night at 7 p.m. March 29 at the winery, 303 E. 161st St. For more, visit the Urban Vines Facebook page.

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

es Hall in Indianapolis. Kor, 84, and her twin sister, Miriam, who died in 1993, survived Auschwitz and Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele’s human experiments on twins. Green said it’s critical that Kor’s story is shared. “Not simply because of her connection with the Holocaust, which must never be forgotten, but also because she stands as a seminal example of the power a single person can have to make this a better world,” Green said. “I believe that’s what Eva stands for above all. She’s an inspiration, particularly to young people. We very much hope this documentary takes on national and even international legs.”
Summer Concert Series set By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Parks and Recreation Dept.’s Summer Concert Series will feature some old favorites as NOBLESVILLE well as newcomers.

Forest Park (701 Cicero Road): July 12: Bigg Country Band; July 26: Cash on Fire; and Aug. 2: The Doo! Band. “It’s been nine shows for as long as I can remember,” said Mike Hoffmeister, Noblesville Parks assistant director. Hoffmeister said a special event, not part of the series, will be announced for July 19 at a later date. “Living Proof has been here for a number of years and they always draw a large crowd,” Hoffmeister said. “Endless Summer is a band we’ve had before and they’re also very popular. They were here two years ago.”

So was The Doo! Band under its former name of Zanna-Doo. Hoffmeister said the department doesn’t like to bring all the same bands every year. “We like to mix it up every couple of years, or every year, for that matter,” Hoffmeister said. “A staffer saw NKG at another venue and really liked what they did.” Those interested in supporting the series can mail checks to: Noblesville Parks & Recreation; Attn.: Summer Concert Series; 701 Cicero Road; Noblesville, IN 46060.

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

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

The slippery slope of fancy roof parties Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
I hope somebody invites me to a party on a roof someday. This not-quite-bucket-list dream of mine would make me feel like I have finally achieved GRAMMAR GUY a (literally) high social status. I can picture myself swirling a martini, talking about horses and stocks with some guy wearing a monocle — it would be so luxurious ... unless, of course, that roof party happened on a sloped roof. Inevitably, someone (probably Karl the mailman) would slip, and I’d have to burst into action, catching poor Karl as he dangled precariously from the edge of the roof. The lesson here? Make sure your party roof is a flat one before you book the venue. Dangling modifiers are equally as scary as dangling mailmen. To understand what a dangling modifier is (and why we should avoid them), let’s start with understanding modifiers. A modifier is a word or phrase that adds description to another word or phrase. When used correctly, you’ll find modifiers right next to the words they’re describing. When you see a dangling modifier lurking in a sentence, the sentence will be confusing. Dangling modifiers often show up at the very beginning or end of a sentence: After spending a week on the solar panel, Mabel unsuccessfully tried to eat the melted chocolate bar. Due to the placement of the first clause, you’d think Mabel had been on the solar panel all week. When in kindergarten, my mom drove us to school. This sentence implies my mom was a kindergartner when she drove us to school. That can’t be right! Because of these awkward sentence structures, the modifiers change the meaning from the sentences’ intentions. Allow me to correct the sentences so we can all feel better about life. Mabel unsuccessfully tried to eat the melted chocolate bar after it had spent a week on the solar panel. When I was in kindergarten, my mom drove us to school. So, just like you need to make sure your roof party is happening on a flat roof, you should take care to place your modifiers right next to (before or after) the word or phrase they modify. Doing so will avoid sentence catastrophes (as well as keep our buddy Karl alive).

Remembering the agony of Jesus Commentary by Don Knebel Christians visit Jerusalem this time of year to connect with places associated with the Easter story. One such place enshrines a rock claimed to be where TRAVEL Jesus prayed before his death. According to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, after the Last Supper, Jesus went to a place called Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives and prayed that his life be spared if that was God’s will. Without naming the place, the Gospel of Luke says Jesus was in agony while praying before his arrest. Saying nothing about praying, the Gospel of John says Jesus was arrested in a garden. Combining these accounts, Christians believe Jesus prayed in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. No account mentions a rock. Christians have identified various locations on the Mount of Olives as Gethsemane. In the 12th century, Crusaders built a chapel near the foot of the Mount of Olives next to a grove of olive trees they associated with Gethsemane. Some Christians later became convinced that the olive trees existed during the time of Jesus and that Jesus had knelt to pray on an outcropping of bedrock near the abandoned Crusader chapel.

The church’s interior is intentionally dark to reflect Jesus’ Basilica of the Agony in Jerusalem. agony. Twelve small (Photo by Don Knebel) domes are painted blue on their undersides to evoke the night sky under which Jesus prayed. The exterior includes four groups of columns, each topped by the statue of a Gospel writer displaying a verse leading to beliefs about Gethsemane. A colorful mosaic on the façade above the columns depicts Jesus mediating between God and humanity. Because donations to build the church came from many countries, it is commonly known as the Church of All Nations. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
