What happened: The Westfield Business Centre, 17001 Oak Ridge Rd., presented plans for their building and held a public hearing. No action was taken and the proposal will appear again at the next APC meeting. What it means: Currently, the Westfield Business Centre has no tenants, but the space could be used as a gymnastics facility or space for startup or small businesses. Construction has not started. “They seem confident they can lease the space, but they have no tenants at this time. It’s a big building and a very flexible space,” said Steve Hoover, APC and city council member. What happened: Circle K presented a proposal for a new building at 1821 E. 151st St. and held a public hearing. What it means: Resident Mic Mead spoke at the public hearing, expressing concerns over the plainness of the architecture. Members of the APC agreed. “We would like to see it spruced up architecturally before it moves forward,” Hoover said. “We will see what they come back with at the next meeting, what they’ll do, and whether it will get support or not.” Circle K has proposed to tear down the current Shell gas station at 151st Street and U.S. 31 and construct a new convenience store and gas station that will host 20 pumps instead of the current 12.

Dillon chosen to fill Belden seat By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Jim Dillon was elected March 16 by Hamilton Co. Republican Party precinct committeemen in a special caucus to fill the vacant Hamilton Co. Council seat of county council Jim Belden. Belden, who served as a county councilor for more than 22 years and was running for reelection in the May 3 primary, died Feb. 14. Since his death, his name has been removed from the ballot. Incumbent Brad Beaver, Bill Dennis, Jeff Hern, George Kehl and incumbent Rick McKinney remain on the ballot to fill three at-large seats. “No one really expected this, and they needed someone to step in,” Dillon, 76, said. “Two of the guys running in this year’s election that will be in the primary in May, they had other jobs that they didn’t want to quit until the end of the year.” Dillon’s term, however, won’t be a long one and will end Dec. 31. “It’s basically a nine-month deal,” he said. Dillon won the seat on the third ballot against John Accetturo, Jerry Brewton, Roger Conn and Bill Dennis. Dillon lead the ballot in the first two rounds, but to be appointed, needed a majority of 50 percent.

“What I’m trying to accomplish is getting the public safety training facility built,” he said. Dillon served on the Clay Township Board for 17 years and has lived in Carmel for 30. Born and raised in Noblesville, he said he married his high school sweetheart, Susannah, and they’ve been married for 54 years. Together they have three sons, William, John and Matthew, and eight grandchildren. Dillon’s father, Dr. James A.

WHS student wins YAR grant By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Melanie Martinez has always had a passion for reading and community service, and she decided to combine the two by holding a book drive at the high school reading and also applying for a grant through Youth as Resources, a local award for the youth with ideas of helping to improve the community. Martinez received a grant for $590 from YAR, which will go toward purchasing bookshelves to house the 4,000 books donated through the book drive. Half of the books were donated by students and staff with the other half coming from Half Priced Books in Indianapolis. The shelves will be placed at Open Doors Food Pantry. “I just felt I really liked reading as a kid and education is important to me, and I love being at school and learning,” she said. “I felt like reading at a young age is really important for that level of learning, and I felt bad about the kids who didn’t have those resources. Low income families coming to the pantries can see the books and bring them home. Kids can take books right off the shelves while parents are looking for food.”

Martinez collected adult and kid books during her book drive. “I would like to help people,” Martinez said of her future career plans. “I’m really interested in science and math, so I might go into research. I tutor at the high school every Wednesday, and it’s fun to get those kids oneon-one help, and this project is allowing me to use that as volunteer work and community service.” In addition to her book drive, Martinez wants to hold a cleaning drive to provide to food pantries.

Dispatches Road closing – Contractors for INDOT plan to temporarily close Ind. 32 west of Westfield this summer to replace a drainage culvert under the highway. The culvert is one-half mile east of the Boone Co. line and channels storm water drainage to the Woodruff Branch of Little Eagle Creek. The new structure will measure 7 feet tall by 20 feet wide and 60 feet long. During the closure of Ind. 32, a signed detour will direct highway traffic north to Ind. 47 via U.S. 421 and U.S. 31. Local motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and seek their best alternate route. 3D Company was awarded the contract because its bid of $357,500 was the lowest of seven bids submitted for the project.

Area code changes – Due to a shortage in 317 area code phone numbers, a new 463 area code will be assigned to new phone numbers in the Indianapolis metropolitan area beginning Oct. 17. Current 317 numbers will not change, but a 10-digit dial will be required to make local phone calls starting Sept. 17.

Woman receives city scholarship By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield partnered with Western Governors University Indiana, an online university, to provide scholarships to those residing in Westfield and education who will be attending WGU. The only requirements are to prove the applicant is a resident of Westfield, as well as a student at WGU. Karen George, of Westfield, saw the posting and was the first recipient of the $300 scholarship. “I saw it on Nextdoor, and I just grabbed it. They gave it to me that same week,” George said. “They were ready to go. It was really nice of the city to do that. I haven’t heard of any cities trying to award their residents with this money.” George will be returning to WGU for her MBA. She plans to start May 1. She’s lived in Westfield for 10 years. “It’s just great because usually adults don’t get scholarships when they are trying to go back to school while trying to raise families and handle their responsibilities,” George said. “Usually scholarships only go to students going to college for the first time.

It’s $300 less I have to pay, so it’s a win-win.” There are still scholarships available, and the city urges those interested to contact communications@westfield.in.gov. “Westfield and WGU Indiana share an innovative spirit that will make this partnership strong and enduring,” stated Mayor Andy Cook. “Putting Westfield residents in touch with high-quality education will increase our collective educational attainment and improve upon quality of life for everyone.”

School event to aid Indy family By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Riley Children’s Hospital moved 16-year-old Paige Hufford and her family to Indianapolis from Illinois after she was diagnosed with a rare form of nonfundraiser Hodgkin’s lymphoma in February. Things have continued downhill since. Heather Bridwell, a Westfield resident with a daughter in the Westfield Washington school system, will be organizing a fundraiser, called Paigey Strong, to take place from 5 to 8 p.m. April 16 at Maple Glen Elementary, 17171 Ditch Rd. “Paige’s mom is a single mom, and she cannot work with Paige having chemo,” Bridwell said. “Our main goal for the fundraiser is to get enough to be able to buy a car, anything to get her from point A to point B.” Hufford already went through one round of chemo, and the medicine made her so sick that doctors sent her on her Make-A-Wish trip to Clearwater, Fla. The fundraiser will have a silent auction, a raffle, food and bounce houses, and the Westfield Fire Dept. will be in attendance. The event is free unless attendees wish to bid on an item or purchase something to eat. Indiana Blood Center will also be there and

those in attendance are able to donate blood. “We would like to give back something since Paige has had blood transfusions,” Bridwell said. “We want to give the opportunity so people can donate blood.” A live band will be performing. Some of the auction items include Indianapolis Zoo passes, restaurant gift cards, a year of free pizza from Hotbox and more. For Hufford’s next round of chemo, her 13-year-old sister, Haleigh, will donate bone marrow for stem cell therapy.

Meet your teacher: Mary Robison Grade/subject/school: Fifth grade social studies, Westfield Intermediate School Number of years teaching: 16 (mostly in Pike Township, Indianapolis; three in Westfield), and nine years as a private tutor while her son was younger. Education: Bishop Luers High School, Fort Wayne; B.S. Elementary Education, Marian College (now University), Indianapolis; M.A. Education, Indiana University Why did you become a teacher? “Helping kids grow has been a passion of mine since I was little, and I must be honest, I’ve always been a little bossy, which lends itself at times to teaching!” What goals do you have for your students? “I want them to learn how much they’re truly capable of and then to demand that of themselves always. This is sometimes a tall order, but one to which I strive. I also desperately want them to become omnivorous lifelong learners. I want them to passionately seek out new learning about anything they possibly can, and to find joy in the sharing of that knowledge. Living life as a constant learner can only enrich these kids’ own lives, and the lives of those they touch. Those are my goals for my students. Learn who you are and what you can do, and do it. Then, deepen

Keep math flash cards and books in the car. Be sure they’re reading something every evening, even just for 20 minutes” Name your favorite movie. “It’s too hard to say! It changes. But I just watched the six Rocky movies and ‘Creed’ with our sixth grade son, Ben, in the last couple of months, and I have to say that, while I remember seeing the early ones as a young child (at the drive-in!), ‘Creed’ came out, and it made me somewhat sentimental, so Ben and I watched the first few in the series so he could learn who Apollo Creed was, and I was captivated again!” Name your favorite musician or band: “Maroon 5, for sure.” What’s something your students might not know about you? “My grandfather attended the Notre Dame School of Pharmacy, and on many occasions one semester, Knute Rockne drove him to class!”

Many steps with Grand Junction Plaza in downtown Westfield have been taken at city hall or in meetings cover story behind closed doors. Jon Knight, co-owner of Grand Junction Brewing Co., hopes to change that. “Rock the Junction,” an inaugural brewfest with a plethora of beer and music, aims to kick off the beginning actions of the Knight construction for the plaza, as well as raise money for charities in the area. “Rock the Junction is a craft beer and music festival, but the purpose behind it is several fold,” Knight said. “First and foremost is giving back, which is what we are most passionate about. We want to give back to the community, so we want to make sure this event is beneficial to the charities we designated.” The charities that will receive support from the event are the Indy Honor Flight and the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. “These charities are the first reason, that’s the biggest reason. The second thing it does is the people in Westfield have heard for so long that Grand Junction Plaza is coming, that downtown Westfield is going to be revitalized,” Knight said. “We view this as the kick starter. In fact, the city had some ideas for the plaza area starting in May, and they delayed that so we could do Rock the Junction. This is a way to start the development taking place with the plaza.” Knight has partnered with Justin Knepp, founder of Indiana on Tap, a Fishersbased organization. Knepp has put on his fair share of brewfests and will be Knepp assisting Knight along the way.

“It was natural fit to come in and help them pull it off and make it as successful as possible,” Knepp said. “Rock the Junction will introduce the plaza to a lot of people, even some Westfield residents haven’t been there, but think of all the surrounding communities that will be introduced to the park, too.” The event begins at 1 p.m. May 14 in the area where Grand Junction Plaza will be constructed, bordered by Park, Mill, Jersey and Union Streets. Approximately 25 breweries will be present, and three bands – The 78’s, The Angela McKinney Band and The Twin Cats – will be playing throughout the event. “What separates this festival from others is there are a lot of craft beer tastings, but this is a craft beer and music festival,” Knepp said. “The focus will be on the craft beer and also on the great music, too, and that’s what separates the event from a lot of others. This will stand out because of the music element.” Tickets range from $11.54 to $53.74. VIP tickets, with an early entrance time and additional beers, are also available. Knepp and Knight plan on selling approximately 1,200 tickets. Unlimited beer samples with a complementary tasting glass as well as access to the live entertainment are included in ticket prices. Local food vendors will provide food for purchase.

Bakery offers homemade treats By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com “I think that you can accomplish anything that you really have your heart set on,” said Rachel Gallienne, Westfield new biz resident and owner of A Taste of Amish, a bakery that hit its share of bumps in the road before becoming a reality. Her shop at 62 N. First St., Zionsville, opened in December after challenges finding the right location and requesting a zoning variance. The bakery is open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. She hires a driver to bring fresh baked donuts and pastries each morning from a northern Indiana Amish bakery, which poses a challenge in the winter when weather throughout the state can impact delivery. “I try to tell everybody to follow my Facebook page,” she said, where she updates delays or cancellations of baked goods. That’s also where she lets followers know when her donuts have sold out. Gallienne’s father was raised Amish but left when he met her mother. She grew up in northern Indiana near her father’s family. “That’s what I grew up being around, eat-

She previously delivered preordered donuts and baked goods to homes and businesses in Westfield and Zionsville for more than a year, making a weekly trip north in her personal vehicle to collect the donuts. “It was easier because I knew exactly what I needed,” Gallienne said. “Here it’s a gamble every day.” With at least three days notice, she can provide special orders for bread, cookies and pie, including gluten-free pie.

It’s an area we are really excited to get in because Westfield is growing so fast,” said Jane Keller, CEO of OrthoIndy. “Our urgent care facility will provide emergency access to bone, joint and muscle care by orthopedic physicians and physicians assistants.”

No appointment is necessary to be seen at the facility. OrthoIndy will bring 12 jobs to 4,338-squarefoot facility in administration, physical therapy and physical assistants. “We are orthopedic specific, so we only treat patients with very recent injuries like sprains or broken bones like fractures, so you won’t be sitting in a waiting room with someone with a cold or something like that,” Keller said. OrthoIndy was founded more than 50 years ago in Indianapolis and has 11 locations. Aside from urgent care, the physical therapy services target treatment of all extremity orthopedic injuries, post-operative extremity rehab, treatment of sports related injuries, joint mobilization, spinal stabilization and core strengthening programs.

Allergy advice for spring Commentary by Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh Spring is here, and Carmel residents are eagerly welcoming the warm weather and outdoor From Your Pharmacist activities. Unfortunately, the beauty of spring also means a return of red, itchy and watery eyes as well as sneezing and runny noses for allergy sufferers. To truly enjoy the vibrancy of spring, it is important to understand allergies and how to manage them. What are allergies? In short, allergies are the body’s way of overreacting to a foreign object in the air (pollen, for example) and fighting it with an immune response. Allergy treatments Our first line of defense for mild allergies are the daily, over-the-counter antihistamines. The three that I recommend do not cause drowsiness like many others: Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec. There is no strong evidence that one is better than another, but if the product doesn’t benefit you within 3-5 days, try another one. Your insurance may even pay for medicine, making them even more affordable. For more stubborn allergies, daily nasal steLEGAL NOTICE OF DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, LLC’S STANDARD CONTRACT RIDER NO. 67 CREDITS TO REMOVE ANNUAL AMORTIZATION OF CINERGY MERGER COSTS DUKE ENERGY INDIANA, LLC (“Duke Energy Indiana”) hereby provides notice that on April 18, 2016, Duke Energy Indiana will submit its Standard Contract Rider No. 67, Credits to Remove Annual Amortization of Cinergy Merger Costs (“Standard Contract Rider 67”) to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) for approval under the Commission’s thirty-day administrative filing procedures and guidelines.

roids fight more than histamine. Most insurance plans will help pay for nasal steroids, but three are available over the counter: Flonase, Nasacort and Rhinocort. There is more to using these medicines than simply squirting them up your nose, however. Ask your pharmacist for the proper usage technique. There are also alternative ways to treat allergies: • Using a nasal irrigation product like the Neti Pot or saline spray flushes your nasal passages. • Vacuuming often reduces dust mites. • Getting tested by your doctor determines exactly what you are allergic to so you can avoid it whenever possible. • Paying attention to pollen counts and allergy indexes provides advance notice of the days you may feel your worst. Remember that it is always important to inform your doctor or pharmacist of over-thecounter medications you try. If these solutions aren’t helping, there are prescription-only options or allergy shots that may be appropriate.

Risk factors include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, age 65 or older and family history of the disease. Source: BottomLineHealth.com

Opening doors for our readers

As you might know, we use independent marketplace research at Current Publishing to determine what our content should be. The most recent round of research has been completed by SMARI, Inc., and the research firm treated us to something of an executive summary last week. While there is much to dig through, we learned, among other things, that Current is reaching a vast audience, approval exceeds 90 percent and readers want involvement. Because of that high level of interest, we are opening the door to readers that would like to participate in this column. As soon as we’re able, we would like to retitle this tome, now in its 10th year, Roses and Thorns. The idea is to have you and others tell everyone who or what in the community should get a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and why. It would be a few words about a good deed done, or a few on something that takes issue with, for example, municipal infrastructure. Given the column’s space limitations, we would edit for length. The broader idea is to provide you and your fellow readers with an outlet, involve you more and maybe bring light to something that otherwise would not have been noticed. ••• We’re proud to support the annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast at Ritz Charles in Carmel on April 27, and we hope you will, too.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Ben Franklin Commentary by Terry Anker Sir Thomas Browne, an English physician and theologian is quoted in 1642 as saying, “But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? ‘Charity begins at home,’ is the voice of the world.” Like most aphorisms, this holds mostly truth but leaves a gap or two in understanding (perhaps because of its intentionally concise nature). What is home? We’d all mostly support our own families. Perhaps, we’d help a neighbor – or a neighborhood. But, when do we imagine other humans to not be of our tribe? Is it a city line, a national boundary or a continental gap? My bride and I took to support the newly announced Ben Franklin Funds designed to support The Indianapolis Foundation in celebrating its centenary year. Following the lead of the American statesman who left small gifts for a pair of nascent colonial cities that, thanks to compound interest, matured into a big fund with even bigger

philanthropic impact. In a nutshell, The Indianapolis Foundation has asked that 1,000 people donate $100 and 100 people donate $1,000 to generate $200,000,000 in 2016. To start the party early, the Evening of 100 Dinners, June 15 or June 23, will bring together these donors to imagine a future. To give, join or host a dinner, or to learn more about the time-capsule, check out www.bein2016.org/bff/. One hundred years ago, Indianapolis did not include most of what it is today. A century from now, it might be bigger, or smaller, or gone entirely. Yet, even as we watch our own children grow towards a future that we will never see, I am optimistic that our little investment will stand as a beacon to future Hoosiers about the hope that we hold for them and our bit of earth today.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE WEE K We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. – Benjamin Franklin

Last night I was hanging out with two of my sisters flipping through channels. We ended up on “Magic Mike XXL” humor and began a long conversation about the many different sequels that suck. (We strongly differed on “Pitch Perfect,” by the way, but that’s a whole ‘nother column.) After a while I remembered that my almost-15-year-old son was sitting right next to me, listening to us ramble but also half-heartedly watching a stripper movie. Rated R of course, and even though the volume was barely loud enough to hear (this movie is so not about dialogue!), it occurred to me that it was highly inappropriate for a freshman in high school. Then I realized that two nights ago I had allowed his twin to watch another adults-only movie, “Sisters,” and am seriously considering letting her attend the very risqué “Book of Mormon.” I’ve even started swearing in front of them. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me. Seriously? Where did that Mother of the Year go? As I expressed these views with my younger sisters, one confessed that she had accidentally taken her fourth and sixth graders to “Deadpool,” the exact opposite of a kid-friendly Marvel movie, and the other said her 3-year-old twins’ favorite is the PG-13 “Avatar.” We all agreed that we are terrible mothers. The thing is, we really just don’t care anymore. After having more than one child, it becomes too exhausting to monitor every TV show, radio program and/or book they consume. I think eventually parents reach their maximums on the censorship allotment that they’re given at the hospital (along with those crazy mesh underwear), and decide it’s not as big a deal as it once was. Plus, I actually trust my kids to make good decisions on their entertainment options, and if nothing else, those choices can lead to important conversations. Last night for example, one scene lead to a wonderful recollection of taking his great-grandmothers to a Chippendale show. The point is, eventually, you have to step back and hope you’ve done enough. If they choose “Archer,” at least it’s clever. Peace out.

Westfield’s liquor issue settled in 1882 Commentary by Zach Burton Every legislative session, the Indiana General Assembly debates the issue of alcohol sales. But liquor regulation in the Hoosier state is nothing new, and in history Westfield, the issue came to a fiery settlement in 1882. That summer, a saloon was established by William Shaw that shook the Quaker citizens of Westfield to the core. According to a contemporary account in the Noblesville Republican-Ledger, the saloon that had been an eyesore to the citizens of Westfield “was last week moved out to the railroad, one-half mile west of town.” It was at this location that “the nefarious business” could continue in what appeared to have been no more than a shanty. Due to the location of the saloon outside the town’s limits, Westfield’s elected officials were left powerless to do anything about the dilemma. But the town’s Quaker women were determined to be rid of the nuisance, town limits or no. A group of Quaker ladies initially approached Shaw and offered to buy him out, which he refused. This rejection was met with a passionate response, with the women

dumping out every bottle of booze they could get their hands on and trashing Shaw’s establishment. Determined to continue his trade, Shaw repaired the damage to his shack by the tracks and re-opened shortly after the incident.

Due to the location of the saloon outside the town’s limits, Westfield’s elected officials were left powerless to do anything about the dilemma. Business continued as usual for Shaw for about a month when, according to the Noblesville Independent, “about 40 ladies from the town and country assembled at the church and marched from there to the railroad where … the shanty was located.” Upon arriving at Shaw’s saloon, the women demolished the structure with axes, arranged the lumber in a pile and proceeded to set the entire heap ablaze. Shaw – who had the foresight this time around to send his alcohol down the road on a

wagon when he noticed the women approaching – decided his days in and around Westfield were numbered. He met that afternoon with the determined Quaker women, and a buyout of $25.00 was agreed upon. A resolution was passed by those in attendance that was then distributed to area newspapers: Whereas, we are informed that persons from a distance have asserted that they would set up saloons in Westfield, therefore, RESOLVED: That notice is hereby given that no saloons will be tolerated in our midst, and that all persons coming here to engage in the business will come at their peril. - Mrs. M. H. Brown, President According to the Noblesville Independent, shortly after this episode, Shaw was seen sporting a blue ribbon – a mark of the temperance movement started in the 1870’s – on his lapel. Zach Burton is a communications specialist for the City of Westfield. He can be reached at zburton@westfield.in.gov.

After Mary Ellen returned from a recent solo trip, she asked if I had kept to my diet while she was away. I admitted going humor to three all-you-can-eat buffets, and I gorged because everything looked so good. That was the wrong thing to say. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just read an article claiming that one way to lose weight is to eat your meals while blindfolded. In several experiments, people who had their eyes covered ingested 22 percent fewer calories. That number was actually much higher, but researchers decided not to count all the food that fell on the floor or dribbled down peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirts. The theory behind this is simple. When you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your plate, scientists say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;more apt to listen to your stomach.â&#x20AC;? I do listen to my stomach, and so does the entire congregation at the Heartland Church on Sunday mornings. I tested this theory the next day while my wife was out shopping. When she got home, I told her I had been doing a little experiment to see if this calorie-reduction plan was legit. Mary Ellen looked at the ketchup all over my face and shirt and said:Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, nowÂ to-

morrowÂ see what happens when you eat blindfolded.â&#x20AC;? Researchers claimed that cutting off any one of your senses leads to less consumption of unneeded calories. I wondered what effect it would have to wear earplugs. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is crazy,â&#x20AC;? said my wife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Covering your ears will not make you eat less.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a try, Mary Ellen.Â What are we having tonight?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making your favorite: oven-fried coconut chicken, twice-baked potatoes and creamed spinach.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish you had waited until I put in my earplugs to tell me that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because that sounded really good.â&#x20AC;? The bottom line is that I have tried covering my ears, my nose and my eyes, and I have not lost any weight. Next week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try something I should have thought of before: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try covering my mouth.

It’s good to be a “flexitarian” - a word that describes vegetarians who aren’t that strict and meat-eaters who are striving for a more health conscious diet. Plant-based diets have many health benefits with their emphasis on fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes and nuts; this way of eating is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. This aromatic, vegetarian, Indian dish, Curry Chickpea Stew, is full of flavor, easy to prepare, and it’s even better the next day! Note: Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are high in protein, fiber and iron. Serves: 5 Ingredients: • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced • 3 (15-oz.) cans organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely cut in cubes • 2 bay leaves • 1 tablespoon curry powder • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 tablespoon minced, peeled fresh ginger • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 (15-oz) can organic tomato sauce

• 1 cup organic vegetable broth • 12-oz spinach Directions: Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over high heat. Add onion, garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened and slightly browned. Reduce heat to medium, and add chickpeas, red bell pepper, bay leaves, curry powder, cumin and ginger. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir all well for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Cover and simmer until chickpeas are soft, about 30 minutes. Add spinach a handful at a time until it wilts. Serve immediately with jasmine or basmati rice and naan bread. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Blueprint for Improvement: From the ’80s to modern living Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a brighter, more modern and functional space the homeowners could enjoy with family and friends. 1. The fireplace was refinished in an asymmetrical style using new linear tile for the surround and quartz material for the face. 2. The fireplace hearth extended across the room to the new feature wall, adding additional seating and hidden storage to the room. 3. A media box was designed inside the fireplace mantle to hide behind the mounted television. 4. A new feature wall with custom lighting was built in place of the built-ins, giving the homeowners the perfect place to feature their glass collection. 5. New weathered concrete Coretec flooring and warm grey paint completed the modern space, giving it a cohesive look.

Before Background info: This Kokomo home was in need of a living room update. The homeowners built the home in 1984 and had not done any updating since. The living room needed to reflect the modern style of the recently updated kitchen. Their children also told them it was time for an update!

Before problems: The existing space was very traditional and did not reflect the homeowners’ contemporary style. The space no longer functioned well for the homeowners, nor functioned well with today’s modern technology. The space also contained built-in cabinetry the homeowners rarely used.

Brussels’ magnificent town hall

Dispatches

Commentary by Don Knebel

Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join them for Start With Art and Let it Be Your Design Guide at 10:30 a.m. April 19 at the Indiana Design Center. Dianne Wright of Coats-Wright Art & Design will present. RSVP via email to concierge@IndianaDesignCenter.com.

The town hall of Brussels, Belgium, is one of the most impressive buildings of its kind in Europe. The city travel it serves is smaller than most people imagine. What became the Brussels town hall was begun in the early 15th century when Brussels was one of four capitals of the Duchy of Brabant, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. The Gothic building originally included a short belfry on one end and was expanded in 1444 by adding a larger section adjacent the belfry. In 1454, the belfry was replaced by a 310-foot-tall tower featuring an open octagonal pinnacle topped by a sixteen-foot-tall gilded statue of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Brussels. Michael, the only angel referred to by name in the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, is slaying a dragon thought to represent Satan. An improbable local legend says the tower’s architect jumped to his death when he recognized the tower was off-center. Brussels’ town hall is located along the west side of the Grand Place, a lively

Simple facial mask – Here’s a super simple facial mask use can use to tone and tighten skin. Beat two egg yolks, and apply them to your clean face, forehead and neck, avoiding the sensitive area around your eyes. Leave it on for 20 minutes as you relax on your bed with pillows under your feet. Do not talk while relaxing – the egg yolk will crack, peel and fall off before it gets to do its work.

Manicure tips – Petroleum jelly is very useful for manicures. When you open a new bottle of nail polish, put a thin coat of the jelly around the neck of the jar to keep it from sticking in the future. Before you use the polish, use a cotton swab to apply more petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. That way, any polish that misses won’t stick to your skin. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com

Town hall of Brussels, Belgium (Photo by Don Knebel)

public square surrounded by guild halls and museums. One of the museums holds 137 statues of nobles and saints originally displayed on the town hall’s façade, now replaced with replicas. When Belgium split from the Netherlands in 1830, Brussels became the new country’s capital and the Brussels town hall served briefly as the seat of government. Today, the town hall holds the offices of the mayor of the City of Brussels, whose 170,000 residents speak both French and Dutch. The City of Brussels is one of 19 independent municipalities comprising the BrusselsCapital Region, a polyglot urban area with a population of 1.2 million. Despite its relatively small size, the City of Brussels is the home to the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, making it the unofficial capital of Europe.
